Oh my god you are literally God sent. I just got my rk84 and have been looking all day for proper guides.

I am glad that you listened to the suggestions of the audience. Now many people are modding their keyboard. Very glad that you are building your own community. 100k subs is near the horizon!

I recently purchased this to mod for my daughter. I was surprised to receive a new version, I think. The keyboard already has foam under the PCB and a dampener behind the plate. The stabilizers are tight and out of the box the keyboard sounds good! The red switches are already smooth and silent and seemed to have a light coating of silicon grease but I still lubed the swtches for much better feel and sound. So all I did was a tape mod and I was done. Kudos to RK. 👌

I had no idea that modding keyboards was a thing. I'm new to this stuff, but my bf recently built me a beautiful PC and I'm in love. I found your channel yesterday and watched your video on Top 10 mechanical keyboards. I was taken with the Royal Kludge, bought it off of Amazon, and it was delivered to me same day. I'm so happy you have this video on the same keyboard I chose! I already purchased the key caps and switches as recommended in this video (although I watched your video on switches and chose the Jelly black). I can't wait until I have everything else so that I can get to modding my first keyboard!! (Wish me luck)

The rk84 is definitely a keyboard with potential. I think it's a better bet than the keychron k2 unless you are getting that one with the frame on it. Their all plastic versions look way cheaper than the RK84 and I think the lighting options are way cooler here too. I just added some foam and changed the keycaps to the white phantom keycaps from razer, will probably do switches and stabs at some point did a quck lube of the space bar. Super cool mod video!

You posted this the same day I ordered my rk84 that I’m planning to mod as well, just what I needed! This will be a great help!

[chloeenstad]

Thank you soooo much for this! I am getting a RK84, but didn't know how to mod it at all! This realllly helped me. Really appreciate it! Thanks!

[squidoo.]

The video us rk84 owners didnt even know we needed. Thanks!!

[michaelthompson]

As an owner of this RK84 white keyboard, I’m digging doing a mod here is worth it for the appearance. I’ve never been one to do the “holee mod” as from video sound tests, the sound difference is so negligible and only worth the time to lube the stabs imo. But being a “custom keyboard” that’s my personal choice 🥰👍🥳. These modding series have been terrific and the some of the most detailed I’ve come across. Great job once again CTR 🥳🥰. Thanks for doing these videos. Cheers mate 🍻

Bought my RK 84 with only 44$. I think it was a good deal, especially for 1st timer like me.
Thanks for the recommendation

[Pre_Boom_bescent]

on your recommendation on beginner budget mech KB, I got a Redragon draconic K530. Couldn't be happier, waiting on my Akko switches and lube, still undecided on key caps....thanks again for the content.🔥

[kafeinfaita]

I have the same board and Akko Lavender Purples. Followed this tutorial but I also did the PE foam mod between the PCB and the plate, and the typing sound definitely sounds more marbly than poppy.

[sireajeel]

your channels almost 100k lets goo we can do it before 2022 comes. also mod redragon k599 would like to know what switch you'll try fit in there prob akkos.

[GoodAtHeart]

Did all of these besides the holee mod because i was too lazy and it wouldnt stick from the factory lube on it. i gotta say it was all worth it, I ended up using the medical tape for the tape mod as its a bit thicker than the painters tape. On another board I tried super thick VHB tape and it really sounds good with that but I couldnt cover it entirely with the VHB tape because it was too thick. Thanks for this.

[humanbeing-_-_-]

Awesome guide! Very easy to understand. New to the mechanical keyboard game but I just got one of these bad boys and some old school Nintendo key caps but wasn’t sure what else to get or do. Stoked to do the mod now. :)

[hyp_erxd]

I don't know if you remember me but I've been here watching, I bought my hyperx fps alloy rgb because of your reviews and the quality in the video still goes under appreciated, I am very glad I subscribed at 13k and these videos have been very nice to watch even when not looking for things to buy, can't wait for you to reach 100k

[saurabhceaseless]

of all the keyboard reviewers and mechanical keyboard diy'rs on the youtube, you are the only normal one, rest of them seems like they can use some help on addiction and craziness

[flashback]

Ive Been wanting to mod my keyboard for a while but I can’t find an exact guide like this one, this really helped. Please do more of these videos.

[sonicrockselsword]

Bought this keyboard with the intention of modding in the future, thanks so much for the video!!

[thatbitgamer]
