Just a heads up, if you want to try out the mods (or the keyboards) from the video, check the description! I linked everything there!

I love how the keyboard hobby includes just adding random things into your keyboard until it works

For the glue mod, I guess you can tape it first, then glue it on top. You have both dampening and reversibility.

To remove hot glue, you can use Isopropyl alcohol. Just a few drops will help it release it from the plastic. Just be wary that Isopropyl alcohol can also risk damaging the colouring of the plastics in your keys and also any adhesives that were there from factory.

Your videos always release around an hour before my online class starts, so it's fun to watch during class :D

Hipyo did a long term review of his play-doh keyboard and it completely rusted his PCB. I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND.

The moment I saw kinetic sand, I turned completely skeptical.

This video is a good watch! An idea I wish to see from more channels like yours, is you guys kinda doing mod guides for prebuilt(?) keyboards, like how to improve the Corsair K100 sound/feel or other brand keyboards people are likely to have if they havent got a custom keyboard. Not sure if its a good idea but it's something I'd like to see.

I think I'll do the tape mod, the o ring mod and the silicone mod. I also have to do the stab mod and lube the red switches. Those are the ones I liked so far, the ones you did in this video were interesting to watch, but I am old and didn't hear much of a difference. I want my RK TKL to be very quiet and smooth feeling ( so the o ring mod might be to bouncy, it might have to go away). Great video and thanks for the testing and information, keep up the great work 🙂

I think using the Sponge Rubber Foam Tape from Home Depot as the keyboard’s feet may produce wonderful results, they are also very sponge which is good for fitting it into tight spaces for acoustic control yet it’s very economical, I hope you can do a test it in the future 😊, love your wonderful channel ❤

Heads Up for all yo Play Doh freaks out there. *DONT do it!* it will dry out, shrink, crack and probably corode your pcb

[makata_pro]

This is really fun and very entertaining as always. I am so intrigued to do a O ring mount but im not sure what kind of budget keyboard should i use and it has to be plate mount? Im a little confused.. thanks Betty ❤❤❤

Deskmats are usually in the $18-$25 range, and you can get one under 10! If you're just broke enough to get a mecha keeb, you're probably just broke enough to get a deskmat too! It's basically furniture for your furniture too

[reverendremiel]

Try desk mat material inside the keyboard, that should be interesting.

[maxmouse]

That phantom keyboard sounds so good stock it's unbelievable for the price haha great vid

[Jesper_Andersen]

I did try to fill up the bottom of my keyboard with liquid latex/mold rubber (was made for putting under socks for to make it anti slippery. Putting on thin layers and let it dry and fill more on. After 2 weeks it was all filled up. It got more weight and sounds better.

[nymowo]

I prefer to just wrap the pcb in masking tape instead of press n seal. It's safer, and it also could help a lot depending on the board. I used it on one of my keyboard and sounded more poppy.

[markle]

Thank you for the video! I have been looking for mods for my keyboards. 😂❤

[HotDogeBoi]

omg your channel grew so quick i was around at 80k and now its at almost 1mil!! congrats

Sticking the kind of dampening you would use in car doors etc for sound dampening also works good to dampen the sound of the chassi. It will make it sound more solid. But it can be a pain to remove if needed. I think its some kind of butyl rubber.
