- Can a DIY silicone insert improve the sound of your keyboard? I use a simple silicone kit to make a custom molded silicone insert for my Keychron V1 Max. You be the judge - does it sound better?
⭐️ Silicone Kit I used: amzn.to/3UNccXC
IMPORTANT DETAILS TO LOOK FOR
- Cures at room temp (no heating required)
- Non-toxic (no fumes)
- Heat-safe when cured

sometimes knowing what doesn't work is just as valuable as knowing what does work, you saved a lot of people buying silicone
lol so it was worth it!
Fax bro good point. Thanks for making this video @semiprotech
Fun video to watch! To be completely honest, I couldn't tell much of a difference between the two.
Thanks! I agree, I only hear a noticeable difference on the spacebar. It was fun to try though!
I have a Keychron C2 and the silicone made mine sound better. I was doing a silent build, so "better" for me was just dead silent.
It really improved the sound for me, took away that hollow scratchy sound when you bottom out the keys and also made the sound over all higher pitched and quieter.
Love the content as always man! Weird question but what color do you set the RGB lights behind you to? I love the purple to red gradient
for me, only the spacebar sound was significantly improved. when it comes to the overall sound, i couldn't tell much of a difference. still, this video could be helpful in case anyone wants to consider making their own silicone mod.
The silicone made it incrementally better... More than just the space bar, but sum total difference is still small. I guess if you've got nothing else to do it could be worth it. Thanks for experimenting and sharing!
I use silicon in spacebar and all modifier keys and sometimes the tab and right shift keys to get same even sound from all keys. So use that extra in the key caps. I also put pennies down before I pour the Silicone to give board weight.
Did you pour the silicone on top of the coins?
@@nagusameta366 yes i did
Currently i have pennies in the case, already significantly heavier. Does the silicone do more for the sound?
Oh hey, 2018 mods are back
I think it's the way keychron makes the keyboard. I couldn't really tell a difference. I think it may be their keycaps are light and always sound kind of hollow. I have a k12 and I do like it, it has clicky keys. All my boards sound different and keychron definately sounds the most hollow.
There was a small difference, better with the silicone. However those thin tall caps are a much bigger problem IMHO, to me they just sound terrible regardless. Add that the bananas are kind of clacky and you get that resonate hollow sound. I think with the Silicone plus a creamier switch with thick PBT or ABS caps that board could sound pretty amazing with your mod.
Thank you for the video.
Actually, I hear difference only for space button.
I agree! That's the only real difference I hear as well.
The spacebar difference is obvious, otherwise I didn't hear much. I wonder if it wouldn't have been better to prop up the front of the board so the top level of the silicone was parallel to the keybed.
i don't think anyone use pure silicon, usually it's combined with foam, foam affect sound while silicon dampen it, remove hollowness and add some weight to you board so that it'll feel more stable, usually it's used with high angled cases with a lot of hollow space (which isn't about v1 max)
Have to agree on the above comment. Cool vid, and test, but not much difference.
No
lol people who say it did not make a diff are lacking that finer sense of hearing 🕺
