Modding My First Mechanical Keyboard (Rk61 Mod)

Today, I'm gonna take you along with me as I embark on my very first journey into the world of mechanical keyboard modding.

We're gonna start by cracking open my keyboard, getting into the nitty-gritty of all its core components, and then upgrading it with some new switches, some foam, and keycaps that I found online.

By the end of this vid, you'll see my keyboard transformed from a regular blue switched keyboard into a beautifully thocky one. So, if you're curious about mechanical keyboards or just wanna chill and vibe with me while I mod mine, then sit back, relax, and let's get to it!

damn 70 bucks for switches is wild, highground is truly the apple of the keyboard market

thank you bro, you inspired me to get this keyboard and mod it myself, i got the same exact keycaps and i used gateron milky yellows for my switches and mine sounds so good, i did use some foam laying around my house and used the one it came with, i have 5 layers yes 5 layers of masking tape and it sounds so good. thank you bro

PLEASE USE ELECTRIC TAPE IF YOU HAVE A BATTERY

[Cat_Lover]

this guys keyboard went from: HOLY SHIT, IM CLICKY AND LOUD to holy shit, im thocky as hell

Good thing you like thocc, the rk61 is really easy to he thoccy. simply adding a tape mod. uust 2 layers was enough to make it thoccy

Props to u for actually making it sound good I tried to mod my rk61 but it sounded like crap but my viewers really like it

Very well documented video, although I do have some things to point out starting with this hobby. Perhaps the stabilizers could've been modded and tuned in order for them to have a smooth and nice feeling. There are many mods and things to help shape a better sound profile for your stabilizers such as lubing and more. Also, your switches are good sounding however I think they are slightly overpriced as you can probably get cheaper switches that feel or sound the same or perhaps even better than the Higround Titan Hearts. Switches such as the Gateron Yellows and Ink Blacks are much cheaper and are better than your switches. Again, these are suggestions only, if what you currently have makes you happy, go for it!

blue switches can THOCK just tape it cheaper option than buying new switches

[MANKAY]

the mods are more than the keybourd itself

[accelworks]

I think it's a rite of passage that everyone's first keyboard had to be blue switches

[Divnen]

you can tell a keyboard is cheap when it has 15 screws.... oh? im talking about mine-

[Drogond]

There are defiantly better switch choices then titan hearts especially for that price range.

[sebageorgeo]

Did the exact same thing for mine like 4 months ago. That’s crazy

Nice man its really sick! Im going to do it with banna split switches and a Japanese keycaps!

[quack]

Put PE foam and add some Polyfill (If it doesn't fit, just use Polyfill instead of EVA) on that bad boy and you'll get your Thock, my guy.

[dangelomuranelli]

Damm bro i wish my keyboard sounded like that may have to do the same thing.

[FaZeMolon]

i have the same keycaps with the gmk67 and ktt kang white switches, the space bar is the loudest keycap

Been into keyboards for around 2 years now, and despite what people may seem to believe how a cheap RK Keyboard can be modded into something nice it can only do so much. For the same price a lot of keyboarss can be bought that sounds amazing stock, RK has updated their keyboards as well. Kinda amazing how in a span of a year keyboards have become so cheap and so amazing, Keychron was very expensive and I regret buying them because they don't sound as great as my leobogs, or my nuphy... To someone who wants to start to get into the keyboars hobby my best cheao keyboard recommendation are the Aulas or the GMKs, try to stay away from royal kludges basic boards that didn't have a price cut

[ccrusi]

titan heart switches are actually slept on

[Ck-xt]

I used the same stuff thank you for helping me
