Keyboards

[round anchor]

I have the monsgeek and it is really nice

Don't know too too much about mod005 but it's a good kit too

They both pretty similar from what I know

I'd say m1w just because I have the m1 and I wasn't disappointed at all

But mod005 isn't bad option either

[shrewd cypress]

M1w

Replace the horrible keycap

Or buy a kit

Idk if it come with stab tho

[round anchor]

Mine came with stabs

And i only buy kits

[heavy grotto]

alr

ig ill go with the mod005

since i quite like the compact 65% layout

[shrewd cypress]

How the stab

from online video of the full keyboard

Sound decent

Could use some mod

overlubestab

[round anchor]

The stabs that came with mine were pretty good

[heavy grotto]

@round anchor i ordered jwick nylon and ws heavy tactile with the monsgeek m1w kit

heard that the jwick nylon is pretty good unlubed

[round anchor]

O lmk how it feels

[shrewd cypress]

Inb4 he cancel order tmr

[round anchor]

[heavy grotto]

gotta wait for like a week

[heavy grotto]

@round anchor

forgot to show you

[shrewd cypress]

Damnn

Even sounding spacebar

[round anchor]

yoo

that looks clean

[heavy grotto]

@round anchor uhh

pe foam or pcb foam

[round anchor]

Both

But I like pcb foam more because it can help remove that kinda hollow sound in some boards

[heavy grotto]

nvm i forgot to bring my screwdriver with me

[shrewd cypress]

I like pcb foam more

I should do paint tape mod on the gmk68

Gmk68

67

Fuck

Also

How do u check

If a pe foam is static or non static

I want to remove all the high pitch note

[heavy grotto]

i already did that

[shrewd cypress]

Bro

U did like 2 laye

[heavy grotto]

3 actually

[shrewd cypress]

Bro

Hmm

That's odd ngl

[heavy grotto]

@round anchor man she’s gorgeous

switches: JWK nylon black v2, Gateron Milky Yellow on F row, KTT Darling on arrow keys

All lubed with Krytox 205g0 and 105g0 on the springs

[round anchor]

Dang

That looks so good

Sound test ?

[heavy grotto]

i only have a short clip

[round anchor]

Nice

Good board

[stone tulip]

what keyboard

[heavy grotto]

monsgeek m1w

[stone tulip]

its good?

[heavy grotto]

yea

[heavy grotto]

@round anchor should i use pe foam as case foam

i have like 4 layers

[round anchor]

It would be interesting

[heavy grotto]

@round anchor bru how do i fix ping

already lubed the spring

still pingy

[round anchor]

There are a few ways

If it's not every switch

Try twisting the spring alittle

Sometimes that can help fix it

Putting foam under the pcb can help too

You can also wait for it to go away after it gets broken in alittle

And if you don't already have a deskmat, that helps too.

[heavy grotto]

alr

[shrewd cypress]

Or get a better switch

[heavy grotto]

sound comparison

[merry widget]

Oh
There's a channel thread for keyboard discussion

Ok, anyone know how to design a custom keycaps?

[shrewd cypress]

U can do it with nail polish

[wet sage]

lol

[merry widget]

There's cheaper one

CIY

[stone tulip]

ye

[wet sage]

that guy fr

told me its budget bro its fucking $150

liar

[merry widget]

$150 is a real budget for some people
And not a budget for the rest

[wet sage]

[stone tulip]

budget for rich

[merry widget]

[stone tulip]

[stone tulip]

most sane suisei fan

@wet sage

[merry widget]

Should i do mill max mod to my new keyboard? Its a non-hotswapable keyboard
i dont want to soldering and desoldering each time i need to change a switch

[stone tulip]

other boards that ive built

1 for my friend 1 for my brother

[merry widget]

GMK barebone?

[stone tulip]

all gmk67 tho

[merry widget]

Those layouts

[stone tulip]

one stock mod

all lubed

[wet sage]

the disabled icon

[stone tulip]

theres also ก้าวไกล logo in that keycap set

[wet sage]

lol wtf

[stone tulip]

its not ก้าวไกล but it looked very similar

lol

but yea they chose evrything themselves

i just help them build it

teaching them on how to lube etc.ๆๆ

[heavy grotto]

buy clones

you dont have to buy anime keycaps

buy color themed ones

[heavy grotto]

iidk

id rather have a soldered kne than a milmaxx one

ngl

[merry widget]

Im having ptsd with soldering stuff

My pcb mouse half dead lol

Half of the pcb dead and cant be used again

Its pretty priced mouse tho

Man
I love this keyboard

Its really cool

But i need to mod the stabs

[heavy grotto]

my bag is too small to bring my keyboard with me

and i dont want to buy a case just for the keyboard

so i just leave it at my dorm

[shrewd cypress]

What the hell???

That like

Flagship keycap

💀💀💀💀💀

Damn Novelty stuff hit diff

[shrewd cypress]

What ur budget

wrong reply

[shrewd cypress]

Can you give like a estimate budget u willing to spend

Honest gmk67 blue

Gonna be like the most budget

Also u might want to consider sound profile

U can get a gmk67 for around 32 35 us dollar

Just maybe replace the pcb foam

I dont really like

[heavy grotto]

get sugar65

gmk67 but made out of cnc aluminium

[shrewd cypress]

Sugar pbc

[heavy grotto]

its as cheap as a brand new gmk67

[stone tulip]

good?

[heavy grotto]

it supports both iso and ansi layout

also split spacebar

[shrewd cypress]

Yeah that

[heavy grotto]

but you have to get different plates for different layouts tho

[stone tulip]

idk

[shrewd cypress]

But the pcb look rly bad

[heavy grotto]

still better than rk's

[shrewd cypress]

[heavy grotto]

[shrewd cypress]

Tru tru

[heavy grotto]

im planning to get an alice keyboard

but no money now

[shrewd cypress]

Honestly i think you should get the Womier S-K71 then slap on the keycap

this keyboard stock is amazing

The keyboard is 90$

https://youtube.com/shorts/fxe0ZpJeRoc?si=XLn8AvI-XPBuXxPc

If u want to pop more just add like 5 layer of tape

The foam om this is good enough with no pinging

The gasket performance actual exist

[wet sage]

woey

[shrewd cypress]

Orrrr

Get a m71

Literally

This

But rebrand

I just learn that

[wet sage]

actually that blue is nice

but does it have a darker blue

i dont want it to blend with the keys

[shrewd cypress]

I afraid not

Unlucky

TIME TO SPRAY PAINT

[wet sage]

NAURR

[shrewd cypress]

honestly

I actually dont like darker blue on a alu case

Ruin the shin of alu

So prob plastic

[heavy grotto]

[shrewd cypress]

Nvm it blue

Im blind

[wet sage]

[heavy grotto]

[shrewd cypress]

Too dark

[heavy grotto]

[wet sage]

it feels a bit too metallic? ig

idk how to explain colors lo

[shrewd cypress]

Just say no

[shrewd cypress]

[heavy grotto]

because its metal

aluminium

[wet sage]

lol

ik it would be but like

metallic colors exist so

[shrewd cypress]

Maybe a lighter tone

with softer color

[heavy grotto]

just buy black case

and mix keycaps

[wet sage]

[shrewd cypress]

He want novelty keycap

Would alr cost more than the keyboard+switches

💀💀💀💀

[heavy grotto]

[shrewd cypress]

Inb4 he found out artisan keycap

[wet sage]

Metal keyboard

Loud af

[wet sage]

[heavy grotto]

pussy

[shrewd cypress]

U have decided on the mod?

U prob only need to tape mod iy

It

Or if u feeling extra fancy lube the switch

The thing stock is hella fine

[heavy grotto]

tempest mod, holee mod, foam/silicone, force break

[shrewd cypress]

Bro rec force break on every metal keyboard

The stab on that thing is amazing

Holee mod a waste of tine

Tempest mod the only thing i agree with u

[heavy grotto]

film the switches

[shrewd cypress]

Ew

Pe foam 0.5mm >>>>>>

[wet sage]

bro i dont know any of those words LOL

this is my first custom

[shrewd cypress]

U just need to do like 2 thibg

Go google tape mod

And do it

Ignore r1s1ng

He a nerd

https://youtube.com/shorts/Fszcvm32rLw?si=P60lRmDzNG6ClP1G

@wet sage

U only need to do this

Nothint else

I recommend u use 3m masking tape

[wet sage]

[shrewd cypress]

Any tape would be fine

As long as it doesnt conduct electricity

[wet sage]

this is prob the only kb ill do for a while tbh

[shrewd cypress]

this hobby expensive

[wet sage]

yeaaaaaa

and considering i ordered wuque im gunga broke now lol

[shrewd cypress]

Nobody keyboard nerd: spend 700$ on a keyboard to make it sound and look better
Proceed to game in dark room with headset

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[wet sage]

[shrewd cypress]

I havent look inte sk71 foam

Lemme check if u should replace it

[wet sage]

[shrewd cypress]

He know what his stuff

[wet sage]

wew

[wet sage]

yk considering the color scheme i shouldve bought the other variation of the switches instead

but oh well

[heavy grotto]

[shrewd cypress]

U know what that mean

2ND KEYBOARD

[wet sage]

NAH

[merry widget]

Is it safe to get a tape mod?

My friend told me its safe but not that safe

i just don't want to break my $80 keyboard lol

[heavy grotto]

its fine

if the place youre in doesnt have high humidity

you dont want your pcb to corrode do you

[shrewd cypress]

Honestly

I never seen anyone complain about tape mod breaking their board

[merry widget]

I do

Few

They complaining about broken pcb, shorts and etc

[heavy grotto]

yea because of moisture

[merry widget]

I did a tape mod before

Yeah it sounds really good

But im worried for now
Because this is my new keyboard

Its pretty expensive for me

[heavy grotto]

fuck it bro

use it or no balls

[merry widget]

Which masking tape should i get?

[shrewd cypress]

@merry widget get anything that doesnt conduct electricity

3m masking tape

Or painter tape should be fine

Also

U should choose on with normal to weak adhesive

Dont get strong adhesive when u removing the tape mod it could ruin the pcb

[merry widget]

How many layers do i need to tape in?

2 or 3?

[wet sage]

I love that enter with that esc key

[wet sage]

dude i have 46

[wet sage]

[shrewd cypress]

Damn

[wet sage]

[shrewd cypress]

Prob because the only key i use on kb is awsd

Shift tab

[wet sage]

scam

[shrewd cypress]

Hey at least i can type

[wet sage]

[shrewd cypress]

Sound test when

😌

[shrewd cypress]

😭😭😭😭

Bro bought a keyboard

Without giving us sound test

[wet sage]

i dont even have a proper mic so like

i use earphones

getting used to it alr

[stone tulip]

zamn

i really wanted to improve my typing speed more

my peak is 174wpm if i remembered correctly

imagine get 200wpm 😱

wpuldbe krazy

[exotic tinsel]

k60 pro tkl rgb opx
slider 205g0
spring gpl105
stab 205g0
tape holee mod
3 layer tape on pcb

[shrewd cypress]

Sound nice

I think the keycap holding the sound back tho

Maybe something thịcer

[round anchor]

it does sound nice

I agree with graydust it would sound more full with thicker keycaps

still a good build

[shrewd cypress]

Also

Try doing silly stuff with dpacebar

Like silicon mod

For deeper

[merry widget]

💀

I hope nothings gonna happen with my keyboard by doing this

Before

After

Goofy spacebar
I'll fix it later
This keyboard came without any hotswapable feature

[heavy grotto]

how the fuck is that 80$

[merry widget]

Idk man

Its an old model from Akko

💀

Its 80$ but i got it for 30$

[shrewd cypress]

U need 3....4 layer

Not 1..m

[merry widget]

Its 2

[shrewd cypress]

I did 5 layer on mine 🙂

[merry widget]

What??

Is it safe?

[shrewd cypress]

I did that for 3 kb

Still standing till this day

[exotic tinsel]

@round anchor @shrewd cypress this is a gaming keyboard with an omnipoint switch

using any heavier keycap will cuck my rhythm gaming experience

The reason why I modded this keyboard is to minimize rattling sound and noises, not for a good sound xd

[exotic tinsel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzDwgEuAi8Q corsair had this issue for a long time, and original sounds pretty ass

(k60 layout is basically k70 with the upper multi-media keys)

[shrewd cypress]

Oh i got it

God damn

It did kinda crazy job

Compare to the video

[shrewd cypress]

Also this for 80$$

Akko smoking

[stone tulip]

akko is scamming when it comes to pre builts lol

[exotic tinsel]

not always

[shrewd cypress]

But that for 80$ a scam

💀💀💀

[shrewd cypress]

Try plumber mod that stab

Basically easier holee mod

[stone tulip]

most of the time

[merry widget]

Does it needs to take of the stab?
Or just put the mod?
Since this keyboard wasn't hotswapable

...
Dang
I need the tools

[exotic tinsel]

You cant fix stabilizers unless its hot-swappable

The only choice is to desolder but its tedious asf and you need to spend $
I’d rather recommend to get a new keyboard instead if you dont want a rattling spacebar

@merry widget

[merry widget]

Aight

Lets go

Selling this keyboard for $60

[exotic tinsel]

lets go

[shrewd cypress]

80$ not hotswapable plastic kb

💀💀💀💀

[heavy grotto]

[shrewd cypress]

also akko pcb

I forgor non hot swapable a thing

[heavy grotto]

you mean

soldered

it is very much still a thing

especially on high end boards

it provides a much higher stability for the switches at the cost of convenience

[merry widget]

I have a plan on getting mill max for this keyboard so it will become hotswapable

But, it cost almost the same price as getting a brand new keyboard

Also there's a new keyboard from Ajazz
Ajazz AK820? It has knob for pretty cheap price
The same layout with gmk67

Also gasket mounted

[exotic tinsel]

just get a new keyboard

unless youre extremely obsessed with your old one

[shrewd cypress]

Dont expect any gasket performance from cheapboard

50$ for fullbuild

[heavy grotto]

the gmk67 is pretty good tho

[shrewd cypress]

No?

[heavy grotto]

i mean i really cannot differentiate between gasket mount and the kthet type of mount

[merry widget]

Honestly it doesn't matter for me

I just really want a nice keyboard with rattleless stabilizer

[exotic tinsel]

gasket doesnt always mean excellent

[shrewd cypress]

🔥🔥🔥

[merry widget]

True

[heavy grotto]

💀holy shit its so damn loud

mmd princess tactile

[merry widget]

What is blud doing 💀

[shrewd cypress]

Can u trade me some?

3.5k 1switch yes?

[heavy grotto]

i can sell you the whole thing

💀

[shrewd cypress]

What switch u planning to lube

[merry widget]

The akko switches?

[shrewd cypress]

WHICH ONE

[merry widget]

I need to desolder them first

Pink?

[shrewd cypress]

DUDE THEY LIKE 1000000OF THEM

[merry widget]

2nd gen pink switches

From Akko

Its from the keyboard
The stock one

It's good enough for me
I just need to do lube to make it better

[shrewd cypress]

Alr sure

[merry widget]

I just really have a problem with these stabs
most of them are rattling like hell

Even my cheap keyboard has better stock stabilizer

[shrewd cypress]

Desolder

Bandaid mod

Plumber mod

[merry widget]

Yea
Im planning to do that

[shrewd cypress]

But some permatex in the wire

[merry widget]

Do i need to cut the feet?

[shrewd cypress]

Balanced the wire

[shrewd cypress]

Depend on ur stab

Not that need to be cut

[merry widget]

Hmmm
Ok

[shrewd cypress]

https://switchandclick.com/how-to-mod-your-stabilizers-band-aid-clip-and-lube/

[shrewd cypress]

Cutting can actually make it worse

By making it wobbly

[exotic tinsel]

seems like there is enough taping and stuffing alrdy

[exotic tinsel]

use a pinset or something thin and sharp, pull four thingys then it will come out
extremely time consuming though (I tried it myself and bought a switch opener right after)

[exotic tinsel]

you sure you have the tools / person to desolder

[exotic tinsel]

preferrably yes, I also cut the feet

[unborn ledge]

yeah

but the foam kekw

[exotic tinsel]

use a nail clipper, it works for the tiny part

[unborn ledge]

cant cut it to make it thin enough

[shrewd cypress]

I would advice him cutting off feet after trying not cutting

[merry widget]

Same here
I did that before

[exotic tinsel]

I made 1 to 2

[merry widget]

And for the switch opener
Yeah i know how to do that

[exotic tinsel]

wait no

1 to 2

[merry widget]

Thats why i said im using my nails to open it

[exotic tinsel]

1 to 4 was too ridiculous with my nailclipper lmfao

[exotic tinsel]

ah I see

[unborn ledge]

but it legit kinda sounds more disgusting

[exotic tinsel]

still good though because there is less hollow space

is it?

if it sounds thicker and heavier

it means it worked alrdy

no way its going to sound weird

[unborn ledge]

Need to cut the foam a bit

[merry widget]

Or
Do you want something that sounds creamy?

[exotic tinsel]

oh lol

[unborn ledge]

yeah

[merry widget]

Bro put too many foams in it

💀

[unborn ledge]

not really

[exotic tinsel]

yeah seems good

[unborn ledge]

but i kinda hear the difference from stock already

4 layers of tape

[exotic tinsel]

if the foam is the issue just remove it, no other choice tbh

I did not put foams inside my kb because of that

only taped 3 layers

also taping does not necessarily make the kb 'creamier'

its mostly switch dependent

[merry widget]

Taping the pcb only makes it more "thocky"

[exotic tinsel]

yes

[unborn ledge]

im gonna open it and cut the foam a bit

[merry widget]

if you really want creamy sound
Do lubes and get other switches

[unborn ledge]

cus its putting pressure to the panel lmao

[merry widget]

[unborn ledge]

that what i wanted anyway lmao

[unborn ledge]

its not like the one yall used for modding lmao

i just use thick foam and cut it to make it thinner

[unborn ledge]

i suck

[merry widget]

Bruh

😔

[unborn ledge]

[wet sage]

[shrewd cypress]

[heavy grotto]

[shrewd cypress]

Nerd

[unborn ledge]

what

do i need for lubing switch ?

[heavy grotto]

lube

[unborn ledge]

very

insightful

👍

[heavy grotto]

205g0 for the housing and stems

105g0 for the springs

or you can just use 205g0 on the spring's ends

also a brush (duh)

[unborn ledge]

also how bad/good are factory lubed switches?

[heavy grotto]

depends

[unborn ledge]

ogeh

[heavy grotto]

some are good

some are just plain bad

even worse than stock

[exotic tinsel]

I don't think that this is meaningful

[shrewd cypress]

105 is not that expensive

[unborn ledge]

Bruh I only found this piece of shit now

[merry widget]

You can use that as foam dampener for your case

I need to give 1 more layer tape to my pcb after this

And put more foam inside

[unborn ledge]

Well that was dumb

[heavy grotto]

thats normal

either because the switches are ass or the switch puller is ass

it doesn't affect the typing experience

[unborn ledge]

i legit pulled harder

but it was hard lmao

i mean i diy my switch remover

[merry widget]

💀

[shrewd cypress]

💀💀💀💀

Switch remover is like

25cent

[merry widget]

Switch puller?

[shrewd cypress]

Yes

The keycap puller × switch puller thingy

[merry widget]

Bro
You didn't get switch puller from your keyboard?

💀

[shrewd cypress]

Some only give u the plastic kc puller

[heavy grotto]

if you have a cheap ass keyboard, no

[unborn ledge]

[heavy grotto]

[unborn ledge]

[unborn ledge]

[merry widget]

[shrewd cypress]

Oh godd

[unborn ledge]

[merry widget]

[shrewd cypress]

[shrewd cypress]

Shussh

[unborn ledge]

i fucked my stabs i aint gonna do it for now

and ion wanna open it again

its near death now cus the connector is fucked up

[heavy grotto]

i still havent modded my stock stabs

because i replaced those

[heavy grotto]

just

put some lube in a syringe

and add lube to the stab

[merry widget]

Easiest way to fix your stabs
Just replace it with aftermarket stabs

I prefer durock

[round anchor]

Got Ktt Kang white v3

Super good stock switches

Gonna add heavier springs and use it for my pain27

Very budget too
