I Took a SAW to my GMMK PRO... And Made it Feel and Sound Better

Күн бұрынWelcome to Keybored! I Took a SAW to my GMMK PRO... And Made it Feel and Sound Better
Since the launch of the much anticipated GMMK PRO, many people have found 2 major qualms about the keyboard, but not a lot of great ideas came out to fix them. One is the issue with the GMMK PRO being super stiff despite its gasket mount design, and the other... GMMK PRO sounds dead and muted.
So in an attempt to provide solutions for you guys, I took a saw to my GMMK PRO... and found a solution for each of the 2 problems. Unfortunately, I could not find one super solution to help improve the feel and bring out amazing sound, but you can choose your own destiny... go after feel or sound? Take a look and make your choice!
I also created a Discord Server so check it out!

I did the 2nd mod and while it sounded amazing, I realized a few keys weren't registering every keypress, I pulled my switches and used some tweezers to take the pin openings and create slightly larger holes closer to the size of the ones created by the plastic pegs and now have absolutely no issues. I think if the metal pegs of the switches are touching the foam it can potentially cause an issue, but just my experience. Just wanted to share in case anyone had a similar occurrence. Thanks for the video, so glad I saved that PE foam bag my board came in.

Honestly: The more I see of this so called "hobby" the more idiotic it seems. Not only does this community seem to think of things that would have been a quality issue 10 years ago as a feature, their reasoning for rating certain things are just batshot crazy for any normal person. On top of that they are paying ungodly amounts of money for shit that they only heard was great but never compared.... It's a weird thing. The intro of this video seems like a perfect parody of this hobby.

After such a long wait, I finally received my long awaited SA Oblivion V2 kits to remix my original SA Oblivion set along with my SA Mizu full keyset, KAT GB deskmat design, and Artisan keycaps. I also had the SA Penumbra, Dangerzone, and Carbon full sets on rotation on one Pok3r LE right now since my other 3 boards have newer (newer to my family) sets on them right now. My keyboard addiction returned at the right time and you have a new sub.

oml sounds so much better. Great video. I kinda wish glorious would’ve made it top mount instead. It probably would’ve sounded much better stock and it would’ve left room to potentially gummy worm o ring mod it as well. Speaking of that, I’ve seen a couple of videos of people modding their Tofus to make them a gummy worm mount so that they can achieve a similar sound signature as the unikorn. I just thought I’d share this idea with you since you are truly amazing at modding :)

i just modded my gmmk pro(alu plate w/alpacas L+F) less than 30 mins ago. still kinda hesitant to saw off the curved/bent part of the plate that connects to the pcb. hotswap sockets on my gmmk pro seem loose. not as tight as the one on my kbd67 lite r3 or nk65 ee(which, by the way, i followed your stage 3 mod, i love it). even if the hotswap sockets aren't a snug fit, i dont have any non-responsive switch issue. didn't have enough of kbdfans gaskets left, still waiting on my order. i doubled up the gasket w/ what my board came with, it still feels stiffer than that of kbdfans. i followed everything you did except for the sawing parts and swapping out the gaskets. i love your videos man. your actually one of the reviewers/modders i listen to and agrre with a lot of things you do/say. keeb it up!

Interesting modifications. I'll have to look into them. All I did was put a 2 more layers of the stock gaskets in actually the same locations you put them, replaced the case foam with a layer of thinsulate, and then screwed the case just tight enough to close, but maintain about that same 1mm space. Plenty of flex, but polycarb plate. I'm curious about the sound mod, but I built this thing with silent switches as an office board, so I prioritized feel for my mods. Might try that foam layer in other boards, like my daily driver at home.

the standoffs btw, do not change the flex at all, if you notice they are screwed at the plate, and just inserted into the pcb, means when you flex the pcb in to the keyboard, the standofs would just sort of move out of the pcb, those standoffs are for when you remove the switches to not bend the plate outwards

those GMMK pro mods sound so good! I just bought a GMMK in silver and plan on doing your sound mod with some black inks, polycarb plate and modded "GOAT" stabs. I was wondering if there were some alternatives to buying a silicone sheet to have the even and consistent results for spacing the keyboard case. Ideally something that could be found in a home would be wonderful.

@@Keybored i can attest to that. lol. just actually modded by gmmk pro 15 mins ago. cut up some o-rings i got for free from a purchase tecsee carrots off of amazon a few months ago. 3mm diameter and 1mm thickness. superglued them to the underside of the top frame. also had to file the part of the plate where the stabs go through to use durock v2 stabs.

@Keybored 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Tenka! I tried to combine them, but the flex mod cut off the tabs, so there wasn't enough force to keep everything together. The foams were too thick and the hot swap couldn't register :(

Hey Scott, fantastic video as always!! Forgive me for doing this one little correction, I don't like to do offensive nitpicking but I thought it might be good for you to know: The infamous Jelly board is pronounced the Jelly "Eeee-pock"(this is how Epoch is pronounced). Also, just another heads-up, there is an abrupt audio cutoff at 10:50 😂 Please, I do NOT intend or mean for this comment to come off as nitpick or offensive in any way, but if it happens to come off that way, I'm really sorry and feel free to remove this comment. Thank you for the dedication to your detailed and well thought-out content every time, Scott!

Hi Scott, great video as always. I'm also about to do the PE foam mod for a KZfaq video. I've read that there is concern with this kind of foam and ESD or electrostatic discharge. I don't know what kind of engineering degree you have but maybe you can shed some more light on this (my degree is Computer Engineering but I still don't know lol)? I've already ordered some anti-static PE foam and I've read that the PE foam in the Jelly Epoch also has some kind of ESD protection. I've read reports of issues such as switches failing to respond or double inputting, as well as one person having their side lights turn off after plugging in some speakers. I'm not sure if these could be traced back to ESD.
@Keybored 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Caloy! I have an aerospace engineering degree lol. I guess it doesn't help either of us with esd. I haven't had issues with the gmmk pro so far, but I have been looking for esd pe bags to substitute it out for. It's been a bit challenging to find one so thin, but I know they are out there! Probably need to get an electrical engineer up in here... How many engineers do we need to figure out esd lol. But I did hear that the gmmk pro has esd protected pcb so I hope that helps out.

idk if I would attempt the flex mount mod... but holy mackerel! that pe foam is so simple and makes a huge difference. will definitely be doing this! I suppose one side effect is that the under key lighting is both more muted and more diffused?
