    To avoid the o-rings falling off the standoffs, you can put them on the screws, put the screws through the pcb, more o-rings, and the line it up.

    I think that for filling the caps with silicone you could use the same syringe approach as the stab lube, but with a 40-50mL syringe (to avoid wasting time refilling) and a 14 gauge needle! seems promising!

  • @HenriNero
    @HenriNero 2 роки тому +17

    For my keyboard, I put a couple layers of tape under the pcb, and a few layers of EVA foam in the case, and just one between the plate and pcb. Sounds really good for a cheap gamer keyboard!
    And also lubed switches and stabs, and a xda keycap set that's a bit thicker than the original set.

  • @Daniel-ii1qs
    @Daniel-ii1qs 2 роки тому +18

    polyfill is an especially nice mod over foam on gasket-mounted or other flexy keyboards because it compresses way more than most foam. I use it in my Q1 and it retains almost identical flex as no foam has, but without the ping of having no foam.

    EVA foam does more wonders. I’m using one for case and PCB, and they work well for these past few weeks without any fire hazard (mine has Bluetooth function with battery).

    I have a suggestion for anyone looking for a deeper sounding switch in a budget, but it's a frankenswitch, where I took the stem of an Akko Silver and used a lubed housing and lubed spring from an Akko Ocean Blue. This made for a nice deep linear switch, and the stem of the Silver didn't need lube as it made no difference. It would probably also be fine with stock blue housings but I already had them lubed from a previous build. The silvers on their own are also good for a budget thocc with no mods, since lubing made a minimal difference for the few switches I lubed on it

    Thank you very much for compiling all these mods into one video like this. It was super entertaining, and gave me more insight in the actual sound changes that the mods might give myself. I just put together my first custom keeb using the Tecware Phantom 87 and just swapping the switches to the Akko Jelly Starfishes (p.s. the horror stories of using those included metal switch pullers were true...RIP many Gateron Reds :( lol). Suprisingly, the only mod it could see most benefit from would be the tape mod, which will be safe in it seeing how it isn't wireless. MAYBE the band-aid mod would do something too, but overall...this budget board is almost too solid when you pair it with decent switches.

    Much respect to you. The willingness to take things apart is one of the most beneficial traits a person can possess. Over the course of a lifetime it will save you great sums of money and vastly improve your understanding of how and why things work like they do. One word of caution- anything with large capacitors (old TVs, CRT monitors, microwaves, AC units ect) read up on how to safely discharge the capacitors before you open things up. A capacitor can sometimes store enough of a charge to end a life so just do a bit of research so you know how to identify what capacitors look like and how to make them safe to work with. It's not a hard or complex process, just an important one. Keep up the great work!

    speaking about pre-lubed switches, they're indeed pretty good nowadays but I still think you should do some research (UA-cam, reviews...) because some are lubed amazingly (eg. Akko CS switches) but some are lubed terribly. My first keyboard was the Glorious GMMK TKL Ice white Edition and it came with "pre-lubed" Gateron Browns. Yeah, this lube job was just terrible, out of all the 87 keys only around 15-20 actually felt like they were lubed, and only 10-12 felt and sounded good. Compared to the Akko Jelly Blacks, which were very well lubed and just 1-2 felt a bit "stock", the Gateron Browns were trash. Not saying the Gateron Browns themselves are bad, but the lube-job Glorious did with them definetily was. A pity considering their pre-lubed Lynx and Panda switches are actually pretty damn well lubed.

    Just watching gave me the idea of using a seringe for the silicon as well, that way you get a nice control and application. I imagine the cap full would not bottom out all the way as it would make contact with the switch, but just a nice layer at the top could really be nice, especially for keys like the spacebar that have lots of open space not over any switch area.
    Bonus use a pretty clear silicone and perhaps the RGB would still work well on shine thru caps. Also could try epoxy resin.

    The silicone version, maybe you should try the syringe. The tip is precise and it's easier to get the same amount.
    The disadvantage is probably that you cannot mix as much at once and have to do it in stages.
    Then there is a clay that many have for costumes. It becomes like foam plastic. Black and malleable, and can also be cut afterwards. So, it might be easier to poke such clay into the keys.

      Just a heads up on the Foam Keycaps, I used 1mm EVA foam and it can give off a "mushy" feel, but for office quite typing it's better than nothing. Combined with o Rings though it makes it way too mushy though.

    It was a really good microphone sound after you did the Bandaid mod on your thumb

    The silicone mod was a mod I did a year back with glue intead on the space bar. It didn't turn out well and I ended up losing my spacebar and having to use a replacement because it kept being mushy and I could not take it out. I wasn't the brightest to think about that

    Will the O-Ring mod work with a gasket keyboard. Or do the gaskets mean you dont need the O-Rings?
