Here's a tip if you use 60% or 65% mechanical keyboard use only 2 layers of mtx tape but if you have 70% 80% 100% use 3 layers of tape only don't go 4 tape or else it wouldn't work

@AGOxAsura Жыл бұрын

Also do not put the tape on the face of the motherboard or else the keys wouldn't work put it on behind the motherboard

I have 65 percent. I did 3 layers. Any issues ?😅

@AGOxAsura Жыл бұрын

@@BigDomDaddy no not at all thats actually ok as long as you dont use any other tape than masking tape because masking tape are thin so 3 layers is actually good it makes the sound way better and deeper also poppy sound

@@BigDomDaddy i use 60% mechanical keyboard i used 3 layers of thin mtx musking tape it sounds so good and poppy 3 layers of thin tapes is actually good for 60% 65% but dont use other tape for 60% 65% 3 layers of thick tape problems are 1. Motherboard cant fit to the case 2. Keys wont work because the tape is too thick for the keys 3. Thick tapes can damage your motherboard 4.

Would it work if i taped the tape to itself (essentially creating a layer insert instead of an attach-on) so that no faces are sticky, or is the whole point of taping the pcb so that the direct contact assists the dampening/cushioning?

@Lj2crazyy Жыл бұрын

For both

@chicken8951 10 ай бұрын

Every keyboard can be modded actually.. The only difference is that hot swappable is easier to remove the switches rather than spending huge time by soldering those so if you have non hot swappable which means you'll find it no difference when taping it because you're clearly removing the keyboard parts so at that same point you can remove your switches from there too

hi tycottle, thanks for the content. i have keychron q5 pro. and i want to use tape mod as well. people said you should use painters tape because it wont leave a residue so i purchased a good brand. now im checking web again to be %100 sure however some people said battery might got heated and tape could catch on fire. however my painter tape has high heat resistance (80 degree celcius - 176 fahrenheit) can i use this painter tape? i never feel my keyboard is hot, it'll always cold with aluminium frame and i never turn on rgb also. should i buy electrical tape which could leave residue but i guess it wont catch on fire or painter tape is good/better? lastly if i use painter tape mod. how many layers i should apply, 3,4,5? and should i apply tape to whole pcb or should i leave some parts open, is there a thing i should be careful?

- be aware that if you want to undo this, it could leave sticky residue from the tape that are a hassle to remove (personally I don't care of some inside residue but some people care, try using isopropyl alcohol to clean it) - usually don't need to remove the switches just the keycaps and screw, as long as you can open the case and access the back / base of the pcb (board) - sometimes there're under rubber pad screw, so don't force the case open - don't tape the screw hole - don't tape any port - could leave the capacitor alone or still tape it - if have battery use electrical tape (to prevent short they said) - if have battery take care not to break the battery cable plug / solder when opening case
