Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words! This just inspired me to make another video hahaha. I'm glad you've enjoyed it! Thank you!!! ⚡

Just ordered this keyboard a few hours ago along with the switches (went with the gateron milky yellows and akko jelly blacks) and other modding materials I'm so excited to mod a keyboard for the first time!

i have the white RK84 with the blue switches (hey i like clicky switches) and for now i have replaced the switches with Gateron green and loved it, i am waiting for my YMDK Carbon Miami key caps (shine through) which are double shot PBT's. Also to arrive are the Everglide gold plated stabs. I have not lubed anything as i have bad eyes and too lazy to do it. But just changing to Gateron switches is an immense improvement. Before i forget, awesome video and more power. New sub here.

The keycaps arrived as well and now my RK84 not only sounds and feels great, it looks awesome as well.

is this a mechanical switch compatible only? or do you know if is compatible with optical? Thanks

can you try and fine pre cut foam for the uk for the rk84? ive been trying to find some

[@Sajid-lp9ss]

I bought the rk98 red switch and it has one silicone rubber in between metal plate and pcb also a foam in bottom. you won't believe that how amazing the sound is. it feels like moded keyboard while this is not factory lubed. the stabilizer has 0 wabble

[@TheDizzled32]

Yeah it's interesting, maybe they've started doing this lately since I haven't seen it be that way for the other youtubers, but my rk84 also has foam between the plates and one in the bottom and the stabilizers have 0 rattle, all from the factory. I was prepared to do these mods myself but by opening the keyboard I found out it wasn't necessary.

[@TanguilleGrootaert]

You can find out battery percentage by pressing fn + enter

[@minhnguyen5888]

I'm going to mod the same board, using the same switches, just OEM profile caps maybe skip the tape mod, adhesive may damage the pcb I guess.

[@denkimedia7158]

Happy to tell you that for 4 months, i don't have issues with the PCB hehehe.

[@Indydi]

My mods to get to a quiet thocky sound were much easier and cheaper. Ready to laugh? I sit my keyboard on a magazine, which is sitting on a tightly woven fabric placemat, doubled over ($2.50 from Walmart). Also added thin 40-A O-rings. That's it. Even the space bar sounds nice--none of that loud clunky noise. I have an RK61 Pro with aluminum case, stock PBT keys, Gateron reds. Placing the magazine on the bottom of the stack changes the sound. Still good, but I like it better on top. Oh, and the remainder of the placemat swings up over the keyboard and acts as a cover when not in use. I did order milky yellow pros and films for a heavier touch. I'll probably try adding the lower layer of foam in the case, which may allow me to get rid of the magazine, but I definitely don't need another hobby.

[@denkimedia7158]

Hahaha! Nice mod! DIY's are the best! Whatever you put on your keyboard, as long as your happy with the result, that would be totally fine! And it looks like you're having fun so that's the only thing that matter! ⚡
