How I made the THOCKIEST KBD67 Lite ever

[@NeutralL12]

A little known trick ive been testing lately for max thockiness is to take my keys out and then deep fry the casings before reinstating them with an additional 2 hour exorcism of any clacky demons inhabiting the board. keep making rad vids dude!!

Too deep? Never. We need to go deeper! Great mods though, I absolutely love the sound of this board. Congratulations on the 1k milestone!

[@dgomez6778]

Hello, sound engineer here. From personal experience i would say that for the most deep sounding keyboard or "thock" i would recommend using a wooden case. Because wood resonates on low frequencies (exactly about 1.1 Hz.) For comparison the resonant frequency of plastic is about 9.225 Hz, and brass/metal resonates at a high frecuency of 100-150 Hz which is why brass plate keyboards are high pitched or "clacky".

oh man I lube the top housing to reduce top out sound too, even with u4ts 😀 glad too know I'm not the only one do that 😂

[@xxcridonxx7614]

Lubing cj’s doesn’t ruin smoothness at all. Polishing is a process that makes the stem fit smoother and reduces friction into the bottom housing by wearing it in. Lube also reduces friction. I’ve compared unlubed to my lubed cj’s and they feel exactly the same. Still buttery smooth. Only difference is that the plasticy sound of the upstroke (I found unbearable) was toned down a bit.

[@solt4963]

Hey Coley, when you lubed the CJs, did you only lube the top housing? Or did you lube the rest of the switch and just left the stem alone.

[@coleydotmp4]

Personally, i lubed the entire stem. But it took away like 2% of the smoothness(not a lot but noticable), so make sure you test a few different methods of lubing on 2-4 CJ's and see what you like best! You will probably only need to do the top housing to fix the upstroke clack, but you might also want to lube/bag lube the springs! Hope that helps.

Hi there. I'm doing as similar build as yours and came across your video. I wanted to ask for the lubing of your switches. Do you not lube the stem at all?

Did you use 80 or 50 mil noico sound deadener?

Do you think noico generally makes a board sound deeper? Ive tried filling my board with packing foam (not that dense) and eva foam (more dense) and the eva foam seems to yield a higher pitched sound compared to the packing foam. Since the noico is denser than these two im kind of afraid that it will make my board overall clackier

Do you think that doing a silicon rubber pour in the bottom of the case would make the sound too muted? I like the idea of having an easily removable drop and go mold but dont want to affect the sound too much.

[@coleydotmp4]

Silicone pour are interesting.. it's a bit of a mixed bag on whether or not they produce thock or just muted. That's why i recommend noico - its basically doing the same thing, but you can take it out easily if needed.

I tried that and i do not like it... too muted... need some space to create that thoc sound!

people say it's bad because it's too stiff for a gasket mounted kb and problematic clearance for stabs., better get a keychron q1 knob version or mod 007 if u dont mind the north facing leds

[@coleydotmp4]

Thanks frosty! Tbh - i would wait for reviews of their next keyboard to come out (Glorious has hinted that there's a V2 coming) if you are set in buying from Glorious. Problems with the GMMK Pro seemed to be quality control leading to things like the stabilizers not working due to being compressed by the plate, poor stock stabs, lack of flex even though it's a gasket mount, and overall a difficult build experience due to the complexity, despite being a "beginner" board. So I'd be cautious there, and opt for an Akko Mod007 or Keychron Q1 knob. Most of the people saying the GMMK pro is a great board, are not really enthusiasts, or it's their first foray into customs. Basically, all of the reviewers I trust didnt like it. There's also the Feker 75! and a TON of great 65% budget options.

If you're looking for a deeper sound, go with the oil kings! If you're looking for the smoothest stock switch of all time, go with the CJs. You can make the CJ's deep if you do what i did in the video, but bc of the materials, Oil Kings are deeper.
