5 Mods to Make Your Keyboard Sound and Feel Better
Рет қаралды 1,091,671
Күн бұрынMechanical keyboards are very customizable. Even if you have a budget keyboard, you can upgrade it using these methods.
Note: Mistake was made inside the video! Higher profile keycaps produce a bassier sound, not higher pitch. Cherry profile is so much higher pitch than SA.

6. Install O-rings. I've noticed that a lot of people bottom out their keys by not learning/feeling the actuation point of their switches and stopping when the switch actuates. If this is you, install O-rings for immediate "clack" dampening 7. Install a thin layer of sound absorbing foam in your keycaps, as there is almost always room for it (depends on the profile and the thickness of the keycap). PS. higher profile keycaps don't have a higher-pitched sound, but usually lower and generally louder, as the larger space inside the keycap acts as a larger resonant box; similar to a violin vs an acoustic guitar: the guitar sounds "larger", louder and bassier.

Another trick if you don't mind dealing with such a sticky material is using rubber butyl from automotive sound applications especially if you have metal plates used in your keyboard chassis. A tiny bit of it will absorb the vibrations going across those surfaces. Biggest con is that it's super duper sticky and messy to work with. But you need very little and don't need to cover whole areas. It works a lot better if you're running a full size board.

Cherries are kind of expensive for the quality. For a switch that's worth the money, go with Gateron Reds. They are only 14$ USD for 70 over on KBDfans. In my opinion, they are slightly worse than cherries, but for the money they are better. Most of the community thinks Gaterons are equal or even better, but I think they aren't. I think they're just better for the pricing. Kahli Boxes are only a few dollars less/more on KBD Fans and are better imo. Then, if you want something that's 10x the quality, for only less than half the price, go with Gateron X KBD Fans Aliaz. However, those are silent ones, so you might be better off with Khali Pro Burgundy for only 21 Bucks USD. I'm sure you already have everything you ordered though so in the future, just know that just because it's Cherry doesn't mean it's better. If Cherry was even 5 Dollars less per 70, they'd be better than Gateron; not even counting Gateron's INK, Tealios, and Zealios. Everything I've recommended is Linear, like the Cherry Reds.

My first mod was using Matias Alps silent stems in their clicky switches. Best tactile switches I've yet encountered, like if James Earl Jones was a switch. I also used vastly too much wet lube (Krytox) instead of the recommended dry lube (I later discovered), so the switches are inconsistent. (It currently needs repairs from an accident.) Still looking for switches as satisfying in the MX realm. I like SA ABS caps. Currently using a Glorious Gaming Master Race (or whatever) modular keyboard with Box Jades, and waiting on Holy Pandas from Drop.
@greyareaRK1 4 жыл бұрын
@@SwitchandClickOfficial The Alps click is deeper than the MX, and the silent stem (with bumpers top and down stroke) prevents thocking and any upstroke noise/feeling. The cumulative effect is a fairly heavy keystroke, but distinct, very tactile, deep and fairly quiet.

Hey! Just wanted to let you know I tried putting an eva foam plus rubber hole to the keycaps, now my not expensive keyboard feels and sounds good. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

Pff, i have a keyboard and when i press some keycaps it sounds like a spring noisy sound. Its called ping. The ping is from switches, not from under keyboard material or case bad structure. If i don’t have lube, the sound is reducing in time, or just stays like that? P.S.: i have Outemu Blue switches

It will probably stay like that. Lubing the springs a little should reduce it.

i swapped some of the pbt keys in my mx brown keyboard with thinner abs caps from a cheaper keyboard and it feels better for some reason, less mushier and can feel it 'bottoming out' alot more clearly
