For folks going 50% screw tightness, I'd recommend using Loctite 222 threadlocker. This will help retain the torsion applied to the screws

Great video brother, i'm thinking of doing this mod but i'm not sure if I should take the foam out like you did, does it make that much of a difference?
@thesurgeonkeebs9857 9 ай бұрын
Thank you! I always recommend testing out multiple configurations to find a sound that you really like, but when it comes to the GMMK Pro I really think the case foam makes for an overall worse sound and feel for the entire thing. The plate foam is a much more personal choice. Personally, I tend to not like it much on deeper builds.

Almost picked one of these up but went with the NK87 Entry Edition instead.

@jerrylindgren7828 Жыл бұрын
You actually want to use NON-ESD PE foam. This is a common misconception. The "static discharge" occurs because the foam is conductive, you want to use non-conductive foam to avoid shorting PCB components.

Nice build, it sounds really good. I have one on the way and I'll probably end up doing this mod also. Have you had any issues with software at all? I've watched several videos other people have done where there was issues with early software, but it looks like Glorious has had some updates since then.
@thesurgeonkeebs9857 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks, Travis! I didn't have any issues with the software, but I didn't do much with it. I just flashed the board and set the colors. No remapping or anything fancy. I did hear some complaints in the beginning, but haven't heard anything bad about it for a long while now.

personally i can just use layers for f rows so i went with the qk65 cuz its ~$170
@thesurgeonkeebs9857 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, nowadays I 100% agree with you. The market has caught up, and the GMMK Pro is almost entirely outdated. The QK65 has been my daily driver since I got it. I like the 75% layout more just because I like the way they look more, but I don’t think I’d buy this again.

Should I use the PE foam from the box or order my own? Have you had problems?
@thesurgeonkeebs9857 2 жыл бұрын
I just used the foam from the box! I’ve had no problems at all after the couple of wonky switches from the initial installation. While, technically, the foam in the box isn’t ESD, if you’re not rubbing your socks on the carpet and rubbing the foam on the PCB you shouldn’t have any problems 😂

is using the foam that comes w/ the keyboard completely fine or do i have to buy new foam?
@thesurgeonkeebs9857 Жыл бұрын
You run the risk of shorting your PCB with the foam that comes with the keyboard because it’s not ESD protected, but I and many others have successfully used the included foam. Be careful and know the risks, but you don’t HAVE to buy new foam

@@thesurgeonkeebs9857 could i ask, how can you short the pcb? im assuming if you rub the foam against the pcb and then it creations friction, then itll short it?
