Do you have any issues with the tape since it sits above the battery? I want to try doing the tempest mod also and some videos say that you should use electrical tape, Do you think Masking - masking - electrical on the vicinity of the battery is ok?
i think it's okay since i watched many videos doing the same and so far i have no issue with it. however, i haven't watched vids using electrical tape yet so im not sure.
@@_lianamelissa thank you! Pa the only problem I have with my leaven k610 is that it’s hard to pull out their switches 😭 Thank you again for your answer ^^
we have the same keeb and almost the same modding method. the only difference is that I have gateron g pro 2.0 yellow switches and installed durock poron switch pads and durock switch films 0.3mm and used some cheap silicone mixture as dampener. Yours sound almost the same as mine. Love it!
is it really safe to put tape mod in rk71? i just read an article that says tape modding on keyboards with battery have fire hazards im interested in keyboard modding and i find your video interesting because i had the same keyboard haha
i'm not aware of that im sorry but in my opinion, if you're not comfortable with modding keebs with battery then don't do it, for your peace of mind :)
@@_lianamelissa well I've seen a lot of rk71 mods who did tape modding so maybe I should try too. I'm just too worried to risk it since I'm a beginner in keyboard modding. I think I'll layer an electrical tape on the top of painters tape to be sure. Thanks for your response :) more power to your channel
Hi, Im desperate trying to find a new battery for my RK71(mine got stuffed) and they don't give the specs, i really need to know the height of the battery since there's no space at all, do you know the measures for the battery?
it took me several days to finish because i ran out of lube so i waited for the new one to arrive as well as the keycaps which also arrived late but if ever i have complete tools, maybe i can finish it for like 1-2 days only since the only one that took so much of my time was the lubing of the switches :)
8:16 it's not this tape to do a holee mod ... it's just paper tape, it will peel off when it reacts with the grease, you need a silk plaster from the pharmacy called band aid, it has a completely different waterproof adhesive and does not peel off after reacting with the grease
yes, i realized that after lol! it's my first time modding so it's definitely a lesson learned. thank you for this, it will really help in my future mods :)
i used 2 kinds of foam. the black one was EVA foam which was placed in the case under the pcb and the white one was a PE foam which is a lot thinner that's why it's okay to just push the switch into it.
there's like a little lock there in the wire that connects the two and when you press it, it will detach. it kinda looks like the square thing in zip ties.
you can use any kind of tape that don't leave adhesive like masking tape but the best option would be painter's tape which is the one I used here. Never use super sticky tapes such as scotch tape and packing tape and such!!
My rk71 is gonna arrive today which is my 1st mechanical keyboard. I really loved your keyboard thocc sounds. Love from India, please do keep posting tips for modding keyboards for beginners.
@@chizuru1999 i don't understand what you mean but i think pressing fn + esc will show the backtick `. Also, if you press fn + shift + esc it will show ~. I hope this helps huhu
@@_lianamelissa Yes, fn + esc = ` (backtick) but i want to press ctrl + backtick. And fn + ctrl just activates that functional mode of the keyboard if you know what I mean.

it really doesn't matter on how much effort you spend by modding it.. you'll still get a terrible experience with it cause rk is useless keyboard and it's made from cheap plastic.. it's not even worth the price but they are just expensive because of the 5 pins gateron supporter pcb

Quick question, did yours have the battery in it?
Do i really need to force the screw of the metal plate to penetrate the tape or should i just leave a space for the stand offs of the screws?

i dont know as well, im sorry :(
omg the sound 😭❤ i will mod my keyboard like this
Thank you!! My phone doesn't give justice to the sound tho that's why it sounds so much better in person. You should definitely try it!
why does my rk71 have very dim rgb
at 12:30 do we just let the switches puncture through the foam to put them in the socket?
the pe foam is just 0.5mm so it's okay to just puncture the switches through it
hot swappable universal or no? 3 or 5 pin switch for rk71?
it's hot swappable, 3 pin and 5 pin compatible
those keycaps look edible 😮
im curious how many did u buy switches for that particular keebzzzz..
i bought 2 boxes of matcha greens. it's 45pcs each box so i have 90 switches :)
@@_lianamelissa thank u
nice mod ❣️ sounds amazing! 😌
How long does it take for you to do this?
it took me several days to finish because i ran out of lube so i waited for the new one to arrive as well as the keycaps which also arrived late but if ever i have complete tools, maybe i can finish it for like 1-2 days only since the only one that took so much of my time was the lubing of the switches :)
May I ask if you poke holes on pe foam before putting the switches?
Because my switches won't go through the pcb if with pe foam
@@kennethluigiregino3877 it has pins
Wait so with the foams in you just insert the switches ??? I’m confused
I used the EVA foam as case foam then I put the PE foam above the PCB, just underneath the switches
8:16 it's not this tape to do a holee mod ... it's just paper tape, it will peel off when it reacts with the grease, you need a silk plaster from the pharmacy called band aid, it has a completely different waterproof adhesive and does not peel off after reacting with the grease

i love how it's so thocky :'))
Hi . How do you remove the wires connecting the battery to the board?
there's like a little lock there in the wire that connects the two and when you press it, it will detach. it kinda looks like the square thing in zip ties.
Why did you cut something ?
What is the case foam and Pe foam called and where did you get it?
it's called PE foam and EVA foam. I got it online thru Shopee :)
@@_lianamelissa how thick was your EVA case foam ? 3 mm or 1.5 mm? Thanks in advance :) ! Greatttt sounding keyboard btw
@@l.kguanwei7500 it's 2mm. Thanks! :)
Doesnt painters tape have a fire hazard on wireless keyboards?
Idk
what is the song at the beginning of the video?
As far as I can remember, I think it's a stock music from the app that I used to edit the video.
How thick is your eva foam in mm?
And also your PE foam in mm?
eva foam is 2mm while the pe foam is 0.5mm
Can I ask if any tape is viable for the tape mod?
you can use any kind of tape that don't leave adhesive like masking tape but the best option would be painter's tape which is the one I used here. Never use super sticky tapes such as scotch tape and packing tape and such!!
use electrical tape, its the safest
may i know the background music?
i just searched some relaxing music on youtube
@@_lianamelissa thank you!

thank you! will do once i get a new keeb :)
@@_lianamelissa Also I have a question how do you press "ctrl + `"
I just cant press the ctrl + backtick cause fn + ctrl activates the function keys.

What waa that black foam at the start?
it's EVA foam
May i know what's the yellow tape?
it's painter's tape
what's the mouse on your desk?
it's Razer Viper Mini!
@@_lianamelissa thanks for replying, i was actually considering on buying the Razer Viper Mini too
hello, im planning to mod my rk 71, where did u learn how to 😭
hi! i just watched tons of vids from youtube about modding keebs as well as modding rk71 :)
What do you think of the matcha greens?
matcha greens are nice and very comfy to press. if you're looking for a quiet switch, then I can highly recommend matcha greens
What brand is the keycaps
i just bought it from Shopee :)
@@_lianamelissa Hi may i know the name of the keycap? would like to have the same!!
found it! XDA Keycaps milkcover!
I loved your video, YOU'RE SO GOOD AT IT, I'm taking some tips for when I get mine, hope you get more audience!!! ;) ;)
Ang peaceful ng video mo po😊
first time modding?? nahh i do not believe
yes it's my first time modding. i just watched lots of vids about modding before trying that's why some didn't believe whenever i say it's my first time to mod 😅
very uncomfortable angle
i know, my bad. i don't have equipment to make it more comfortable :(
@@_lianamelissa you could get a 10$ octopus stand and Mount your device on it at a better angle
@@aaronvictor i'll try it next time
Gawa ka naman po ng tutorial for beginners po 😊thank you poo
