^^^ This guy knows what's up! Seriously, thank you for the kind words. I don't intend to slow down any time soon, just bought a new tripod for overhead shots and better b-roll, so i'm really excited for what I have coming. I'd also like to start streaming builds, if that's something you all would be interested in. ps - great call on those alpacas, you'll love em

Wow, thanks so much! Yeah - tbh with youtube I think if i keep cranking along, it will exponentially grow. I have so many awesome videos planned, so i hope you stick around! :)

Thank you Fredrik! I plan to :)

Means a ton coming from you, i love your keeb videos!!!

Appreciate it! I hope you're right ;)

Thank you so much for your patience!!

You are so welcome!

Awesome feedback! I'm actually editing my Bakeneko review to be like that :)

That means the most

Haha i know, i probably took the 67lite apart like 10 times to make this video. Worth it though i love the sound I ended on :) Thanks for subbing

YOOO HOMIE WITH THE MARLO PFP

@@coleydotmp4 YEAH MAN HE'S SUCH A GUY

Great suggestion. I'm definitely debating taking out the noico, as im not sure how necessary it is. I do like the heft it gives the board though! But thank you - praying the algorithm sweeps me off my feet hahaha

Thank you for your patience! I have SO many videos in the works for this channel, and I've been a busy bee IRL so i really appreciate you sticking around, Kav.

Who hasnt

it’s hard to be patient but if im getting a way to make my kbd67 better i can wait :)

Good luck modding :)

@@coleydotmp4 Thank youu! 👋

@@coleydotmp4 I've done it! My 67LR3 sounds and actually feels better now. The only mods I did was tempest mod and I removed the pcb foam included and replaced it with a thicker PE foam. I already replaced the kbdfans included stabs with some durock v2s smokeys. The last thing I did is I added some strips from stabilizer foam into the plates that come in contact with silicon nubs (still stiff but the removable of the silicone dampener actually added some more flex). Overall, acoustic wise, the tempest mod and the removable of the muting silicone really shone light to my C3 tangerines. It still thoc but the thoc is not the muted kind of thoc. Thanks again for the in depth review of the mods you did!

@@lindis8030 Wow! You went all in. I'm so happy to hear that this video helped you. Enjoy your kickass board :)

@@coleydotmp4 I will, thank you!!! You too! 👋😄

me too lmao

Have fun! Did you get Akko CS Lavenders or the Cannon Keys Lavenders?

@@coleydotmp4 I actuaøly got Durock Lavenders 😀

Thank you!!

I have considered! The plateless on kbd67lite seems a bit sketchy just watching Andy N's video. but it would be worth experimenting.

You missed it yesterday was a party in the bix server!!!

@@coleydotmp4 what?

oh nvm ye its bc i was on a 2 hr trip from my home to trenton bc im in new jersey

Hi

Haha kinda. It was just so many rounds of taking it apart and tweaking it, rip. I had a different thumbnail planned but this screencap KZfaq took for the recommended thumbnail was too funny not to use

Wait frebasaurus

WOB keycaps are great to have on hand, they look great on every board I've put them on. But I've seen 67lite's with your keycaps that look really slick too.. Got a review of these WOB akko's if you're curious about them!

@@coleydotmp4 Just watched your review. Pretty good! I might get them from Amazon soon. Really liked your style on the videos. I'm hoping to see more videos coming up.

It's insane how cheap and easy it is to do. Big Brain Tempest

Thanks for subbing!! Yeah I agree. I think we can all have different preferences but I'm disappointed that overall consensus in the community is that deep/thock/muted is superior. We should be helping everyone achieve the sounds they want!

@@coleydotmp4 true! and also simply appreciating different sound signatures since the truth is that those require a lot more to achieve than condensing foam inside just about any keyboard

Maybe not this type of poron plate gasket, but you might be successful putting little o-ring gaskets on the screw holes - look up the tofu gasket mod. it would be a very similar idea.

@@coleydotmp4 does the poron gasket more efficient than the d65 gasket stock ?

Good idea! Does this board need the force break mod tho

@@Hecatonicosachoron54 Not really since it's plastic, but it does change how to keyboard sounds and it's shocking how different the sound is. Try it out if you have a KBD67 Lite on hand. I can also say that the of the two types of washers: cardboard or plastic, the plastic one sounds a bit better.

I think people dont give enough credit to gaskets for helping the sound. If you're on a board like the mr suit or the ikki68 aurora, then yeah the gaskets influence the typing feel because of all the flex cuts. But this, or even on the Keychron Q1 knob edition I just got, or the KBDfans D65... it's like yeah. There's flex. if you knead the keyboard like dough. lol. but those boards sound better than if they were sandwich mounted/integrated plate.

@@coleydotmp4 I'm in for the ikki68 R2 so I'm looking forward to playing with that. Every flex test I've seen has the reviewer pushing down of the keeb like they're packing a holiday suitcase! It's just not realistic!

@@ChubiPanda Haha right?! But the Ikki does have significant flex compared to other boards, especially at that price point. You'll have to let me know how it feels when you get it in! EDIT: also ironic your last name is Stiff lmao

@@coleydotmp4 Mr. Stiff here to promote that stiff boards will be the hot item for 2022!

@@ChubiPanda Haha you'd love my ID80! all aluminum integrated plate. Thing's a brick

Working on it, I think right now lighting and my new tripod i just got will help a ton :)

7:04 is a good example of my level of quality when my lighting is good and i record natively on my camera, instead of through OBS. I have a solid camera, just need to get better at setting up scenes. Thank you for the feedback, though!!!

the thick poron gaskets+ pads on top of the plate are more than enough, plus I've had that config on my keeb for over a year now and it works flawlessly and sounds fantastic. But if you don't want to do the mod, that's up to you!

Ideally as thin as you have! Youll know its too thick if the switches cant seat correctly into the PCB.

Yes to both! But I am not currently using the creams, I wouldn't recommend them. I'd get Gateron Cj's or Crystal Icebergs over creams, depending on the sound profile you prefer.

I mean they're definitely not the first stabs I've lubed + tuned. I could get them initially sound good but after some use, they would start to tick/rattle again. KBDFans stabs are definitely better than GMMK "goat" stabs, and most stock stabs in DIY kits at this price point, but I'd much rather upgrade them. Glad they work for you though! Thanks for watching

@@coleydotmp4 i only lubed them with 205 and they havent started ticking in two months. Good job on your board btw, sounds great

I have not, but great suggestion! I ended up changing my switches to the new Crystal Icebergs (review coming soon) and they helped the sound signature of my board a ton. Here's the sound test I helped make for those switches: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLqnp9NomdiUeas.html

Because tbh, i think a lot of the lack of pop is due to the creams being such a deep sounding switch. I just didnt want to change out the original switch, so the sound comparisons were fair throughout the video.

omg! That's all so great to hear (what colorway did you get of the keycaps?) Tape mod will help the board reverberate toward you (upwards), making the board slightly louder and poppier. If that's what you're looking for, it's super worth it especially since its so cheap, or free if you already own masking tape.

@@coleydotmp4ill definitely tape mod mine soon then. Also for the keycaps I got the dark blue "monster" one.

@@ripixll Oh hell yeah! Such a slick colorway

you could try holee mod - that might help eliminate rattle for a longer period of time than just jamming a ton of thick lube where the wire ends sit.

my issue was the rattle would come back on those stock stabs after using them for a short period of time, regardless of how much i put in.

@@coleydotmp4 Okay, thanks

I’m getting my kdb in a couple days what mods do you recomend, I didn’t buy the d65 gaskets so I will most likely use the silicon do you have any suggestions to make it sound deeper

@@jairlopez2209 In my opinion, the easiest way to obtain a deep sound (without drying it with PE foam) is just to use switches with a deep sound signature and SA profile keycaps. If you want to reduce the hollowness, I suggest you to fill the case with silicon: KBDfans sells a bespoke silicon mold for the case, but I think it's sold out, so you can just do a silicon pour. You can also fill it with EVA foam but the sound will be more muted and less thocky.

@@sigmafun3880 can I keep the mute silicon and I am using milky gat yellows with Akko asa keycaps since it’s more of a budget build

Yes - tbh, build it stock. haha. The stock config is really quiet because of the silicone. Tape mod makes it pop more. Honestly, build stock + the u4 silents and it should be prettttyyyy quiet.

and if you need to make it more quiet, fill the case as much as possible - noico would probably be best but any other dense foam will work.

@@coleydotmp4 Thanks a lot for the tip! Really like your channel and how you approach things. Keep up the good work!!!

The screws to hold the plate to the pcb, yes!

Tape mod for sure! And if you want the board to be quieter, filling the bottom of the case. I've heard some people were able to do the PE PCB foam mod even with the silicone, so it could be worth a try, or switch pads. Also, change out the stabilizers for sure!!

@@coleydotmp4 Thank you! btw I love your content keep it up.

Dont worry, replaced them quickly and only used them at the time because those were the only switches i had on hand. currently got gateron V Birds in there :) no scratch.

@@coleydotmp4 poggies. I really like the aesthetic of NK creams, sad they have really bad scratch when they aren't broken in.

I figured the unpeeled paper facing upwards would result is a "Creamier" sound, but admittedly I'm not sure there's a difference. I also opted not to "stick" it in incase i didnt like what it did to the board

This is a 6.25u spacebar. depending on the vendor a full set of durocks should include both 7 and 6.25!

Ok I am buying them from kinetic labs they make you pick between the two so I will get the 6.25u thank you

Holee mod will break in overtime. it will definitely feel mushy at first. especially if you put in too much material to the stems. If you're using a better stab than the durocks or the KBD stabs from this video, you probably just need to do a solid job lubing and tuning. I've found that the durocks take well to a holee mod once the mod is broken in. But you wouldnt need to do it on a TX stab, for example. it would be overkill. Overhyped? not when everyone was using durocks and cherry stabs. But these days, if you have a higher end stab, youll be fine with just lube. Hope that helps!

the clackiest sound would probably be getting rid of the silicone, replacing with other gaskets, and not using any plate foam/PEfoam mod at all

@@coleydotmp4 oh ok thanks

@@coleydotmp4 what gaskets i mean like what material

do i remove the mute silicone?

@@coleydotmp4 also one more questions sorry if im asking alot of questions im kinda new to costum keyboards i want my keyboard to be clacky but not to high pitch can i just put pe mod and plate foam is it still going to sound clacky?

ASA, it's akko's take on SA profile! Shorter at the top, I have a video about this set here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p5d0qrGkmq63YnU.html

@@coleydotmp4 tysm

*hits whip + nae nae* for u tan

im sorry dico i failed you how can i make this up to you???

@@coleydotmp4 It's fine lol. But Dico mod>Pe foam mod

Is your foam too thick? that might make it difficult. Whats the issue?

@@coleydotmp4 It should be around 1.5mm thick. Maybe yours is thinner than mine. Do you have any foam recommendations? Anyway, did you use silicone dampener too? Maybe that's why I cannot make it. I'm trying to make the PE foam mod while still using silicone dampener

@@krystall995 I'm not sure the size of mine. It came as packaging to an old keychron k4. I do not have it with the silicone dampener, but you should be ok to have both. What is the issue though? Are the switches not actuating?

@@coleydotmp4 yes. The switches cannot be fully place on the pcb, because there's too much space between pcb and plate, since there's silicone dampener and pe foam that make too much thickness. Now, I'll try to make the mod without silicone dampener

What switches you rocking?

gateron hippos

Haha its actually not bad at all. What was painful was me having to go back and keep adding more because i knew it could be pushed further - probably took the thing apart and put it together 6 times haha

@@coleydotmp4 Actually the worse part in modding a keyboard is screwing and unscrewing... It's so frustrating
