Creamy RK61 Pro - Classic Mod | Gateron Phantom Browns

An enjoyable nostalgic mod video of the #RK61 PRO. Not that much different to its plastic counterpart besides the case. Turned out really well, demonstrating you can have an amazing board on a budget. Bill of materials below used in the mod.

YOOO THANKS FOR THISSS MAN been really finding a away to make my rk61 sound thocky or such this vid helped big time subbed

[@TheV3tt]

Great video! Btw, do you think this would sound good with boba U4T switches? And what lube and grease do you use?

[@satvikkkk4940]

The rk 61 with grateon switches is the "pro" version right Im thinking to buy yellow one is that going to be thock

[@atomechkeebs]

No. They all come with standard RK switches. The first RK61 I modded was using Gateron milky yellows (V1s). If you want yellow switches, you’d have to get them separately, but yes, it will thocc with these mods.

@@satvikkkk4940 ah ok got ya. Only had experience with reds. However, assuming same housing material and stem design, no reason it shouldn’t after a good lube (assuming only spring weight difference).

yo man do you reckon if you opened a po box and people sent their keyboard u could mod them for people for like a business?

[@atomechkeebs]

Mmm, I haven’t had many requests to do commissions so not too sure if it would be a sustainable business. I know there are some who post their services up on marketplace.
