    After a while I wanted to try modding this so here is what I did and how it turned out:
    1) PE foam on the interior was less significant than it sitting on top of PE foam. I've done both and like the sound change.
    2) Lubing the stabilizers with some dielectric grease* was the second most significant change I did. The keys sound solid and deeper. No strange plastic rattling apart from the fact the stab housings don't sit flat on the plate.
    3) Changing the board firmware to QMK let me use open RGB to control my board with the case - a little buggy but it can now go even dimmer and I can save the color profiles. If you want Signal RGB to pick this project up, let them know.
    4) Taping the PCB was a nightmare as there are so many holes on the back to account for. Honestly idk if it is worth it.
    USB-C mod is rough. Switch & click did a usb-c mod for a k552 and I tried to apply it here. You will need to drill the center hole larger, the case does not leave enough space around the daughter board.
    The proper white value for this board is around R-140, G-255, B-200
    *(non conductive, repels moisture, does not chem. react with anything, & decreases stab wiggle inside the stems)

      dudeee i really wanna mod mine too but how the heck did you open it up XD maybe im blind? I have also never modded a keyb and I'm trying to learn. Do you think I could change the switches and keycaps to make it more thocky? Is there anything you would recommend? (im asking since you seem to know what you're talking about)
      Would appreciate the help

    • @ChrisPkmn
      @ChrisPkmn 2 роки тому +1

      @@soosoolar there are screws under a few sets of keycaps. You'll have to look between two keys to see them. The switches can be replaced but the two wires that attach to the pcb are thinner than many other switches. Absolutely use dielectric grease on the stabs. I think pudding keycaps would be pretty cool on these

    Consider me a long term user of over 2 years... I'm actually typing this on mine right now. I've loved this keyboard, feel like I stole it for under $60 on amazon when I bought it, and the only thing I've done to it was add blue switches to the Enter/Return, ESC, Windows, space and backspace keys just for personal preference. As someone who doesn't have a big budget for a fully custom mechanical keyboard, this might be the best compromise I could've possibly found for such an affordable price. 10/10, I not only recommend, I love this keyboard and will be buying a new one probably next year just so I have a backup in case they stop making them before my current one needs replacing...

    Upgrading from my blue clicky switch K552 Kumara TKL from 2019 to a K556 Pro Wireless TKL with red linears. As much as I would like the number pad for when I do need it, I’m not really needing to enter numerical and mathematical data hardly at all and the desk save on the TKL really lets me not have to out my arms as far apart when aiming playing lower sens games.
    I think imma order both and depending whether or not I can get by with the Full size or not, I can always just return.

    Would the backlighting options be saved when the computer is shut down and then booted back up again? I once had a keyboard with a default lighting scheme that was very distracting, switched to a more nuanced lighting option, then when I started my computer up it went back to the distracting default lighting scheme.
    How's the durability on the keycaps? I've gone through two keyboards and the paint on the edges of the S and D keys have started to wear out. Are they ABS (cheaper) or PBT (more durable)? What is the molding type (I'm probably seeking Double Shot if possible)?
