I ONLY had $30 to upgrade a budget keyboard.

Two keyboards, each $50, but we both only have $30 to upgrade it. The stakes are high, the stakes are DINNER.

lmao, i like how they both separately thought that the keyboard might have sound way better stock.

[hydraxic]

Holy crap that keycap paint actually looks so good

[piplup]

6:50 I like how both of you came to the same conclusion, that stock was pretty good, all things considered with the price and all that 😂 still though a really fun idea to try out.

[E..-_]

Honestly, i cannot decide. These 2 keyboards both sound insanely good, and i think its a tie tbh.

[haileyploense]

For sure adding hot glue to space bar as one of my potential mods on my budget, silent build.

[bbqtoecrisp]

Love it! I actually enjoy your “budget” videos, it also really shows your knowledge of keyboards.

[horseypeeps]

I don't think the sand helped at all, and actually might of hurt. Goes to show that a desk mat is just as much a contributing factor to sound as any other modifier can be. Thanks both of you for the video, and as a side note, Jake should be incorporated in more videos, his "went and bought a bunch of junk" comments crack me up. :)

[sleepy-eden]

I honestly think betty won that one, because the paint looks really cool (I think it looks nicer with the smudges on the ends lol) and it just kinda sounds better imo plus I feel like here stabilizers were nicer, Jake's keyboard sounded kinda hollow and just alot clickier (obv I know they're linear switches, but I just mean it had the sound to it :/ )

[waitwhynot]

Getting back on the editings again! Great work, both of you!

[sarveshmina]

I just need a girl who’ll mod keyboards with me and decide dinner places.

[MrMndon]

Love you and your hubby, the interaction is so sweet. Keep up the great videos you two..

[Indisputed]

i actually just purchased this keyboard with brown switches, (yes they're scratchy, but i dont mind bcuz my old keyboard had mx blues) and i purchased some prelubed gateron milky yellow switches and installed them (my first upgrade) and it sounds so good! there is still some spacebar rattle, and i still need a screwdriver to tape the pcb. i purchased the switches for $35 and i paid $50 for the keyboard :D

amazing keyboard i highly suggest it

[PeaJayTheGr]

This was a fun challenge to watch. I really like how the splash paint turned out on the keycaps!

[winchester]

This video was so much fun to watch! Thanks guys...

[cppctek]

I like the layout of the keycron better because I use directional a lot. I’d love to have seen y’all swap and see if you could improve each others lol. ❤

[aresaurelian]

I loved this. Grass mat mod!? T-shirt mod?! Wow. The innovation.

[mmesec]

Hey Betty, I've been watching you for over a year and I really love your videos. You're the person that got me into modding keyboards, which I'm thankful for. I'm on a tight budget of 70$ and I was wondering if you could check out the rk61 plus or pro, and tell me your opinions on it. If not, please recommend me some good 70-ish dollar keyboards. Thanks

[A-Gaming-Memory]

Fantastic tips right here! I'm going to try these with the Redragon one i got, They both sound brilliant! Well done guys 🥰🥰

[hamidrezaahmadi]
