Leobog just released their V4 and they are also 5 pin... if you pick the right base for your cheap keyboard, you can definitely get a nice keyboard with a few mods. I bought a $26 64 key sandwich mount hotswap trimode from Amazon for my living room PC... threw a set of on sale PBT dye sub key caps on it with a budget long pole linear, some plastilina and free PE foam and it's now a nice small mech key for our browsing and multimedia needs for less than $80

Yeah, hard to win the challenge if your keyboard doesn't actually work lol. Still, both of them wound up sounding good after the mods you each did. Just goes to show that there is an entry point into the hobby for those of us who are poor and it isn't just all $100+ "budget" options.

Thank you for using your thumb's Hipyo. Thank you Mr. Thumb.

Thanks for the inspiration to get into the hobby, Hipyo!

Guess if Madison made a press'n'seal mod, chances are good, that she will in fact see this video. I would be a real happy Eric, if Hipyo would mention me in a video, even if he's trying to get me and take revenge for a mod backfiring on him (even if he did it 200 times before and even invented it).

Sounds amazing. Personally I'm still waiting for a full sized k/b with a volume scroll and good latency (<3ms) that can thock. The most I'm willing to compromise is a TKL keyboard with a numpad but I wouldn't be surprised if it annoys me to have 2 things to manage. Until then, I see no reason to upgrade from my old Logitech G810.

You actually can feel the flex more with that style of integrated plate than the regular cheap tray mount. Are those plate/case hybrid is actually clipped in with the bottom case? If yes then you can cut all the standoffs to make it even more flex and consistent

Just so people know, all akko switches work in thoose boards that are "only compatible with outemu switches". I myself have changed out the switches from my reddragon k552 kumara, whitch has the same hotswap socket, to akko jelly purple and It was a HUGE upgrade

[SaturnKeys]

btw akko swaitches can fit outemu sockets too! those are some really good budget ones

Did no one see what came up in the search bar at the start? 💀💀

I did a similar mod for my wife's cheapo redragon recently. Same type of PCB. I forced in some Gateron Milky Yellows by crimping the pins. It was super tedious, wouldn't do it again, but it ended up sounding super dreamy after smushing some foam between the plate and pcb, and adding some decent foam in the case.

I actually bought that keyboard last year, I bought it as a compromise. I really wanted to try a 65-67 key keyboard however I wasn't sure if it was for me, I thought I would regret it if I spend like $250 to build one and only dislike it.

I've always used full sized keyboards so I decided I'm more willing to take a chance on a $20 keyboard than a $250 keyboard.

I really liked the keyboard, thought it pinged a good bit, I really wanted to test mod it but I decided to save my patience, and sanity for my true spent like 4 hour lubing those switches.

I ended up with a new drop alt for a great price, lubed switches, installed some stupid fish foam, greased all the stablizers, etc I did a bit and I'm very pleased with it.

I still have that cheap old keyboard and I kept it in case one day I decided to actually mod it, I have some nice color shift paint.

Just watched Switch and clicks version of this, double the enjoyment 😎

So I recently picked up the 84 key version of this board from a resell store for about $7. The star84 has a metal plate in it but no detachable cable and no wireless. Sound is more interesting than my standard HP membrane keyboard. Been binging your videos all week and have a set of keycaps, pullers, and lube coming in this weekend. Gonna get some foam for it too.

fun fact you can in fact put cherry mx style switches into outemu sockets! just be warned you do need to clip the 2 plastic pins and some older outemu hot swaps will not work. personally i put akko piano v3 into my redragon fizz keyboard also be warned there is a high switch failiure rate about 10% of the switches will not work when you first try it.

[JHayes]

I still recommend the Royal Kludge RK61 as the "entry level" board for anyone wanting to get into the hobby.

Yes its twice the price as this one, but its also twice the quality. And sounds fantastic after a few mods. They also just released the RK61 Plus that comes prelubed WITH foam.

[ameyachakks]

Yay another switch and click challenge ❤❤

[revivalfitnessus]

Does Hipyo not know that you can just clip the plastic pins to make any switch fit??

Thank you Mr. thumb. You’re a hard working thumb providing for your other 9 digits. THAT’S A LOT OF DIGITS (in Phil Swift’s voice)
