Easy keyboard tape mod

[@Vyyy290]

Really clean editing, gets straight to it and gives good Information, keep making shorts because I know you'll do well on short form content :D

[@jaydenchundanga3546]

Make sure the tape is non conductive if you have a battery in your keyboard, as it can ruin the PCB. Also according to the internet, 2-3 layers of painters tape is best.

[@bababadooba]

if i dont have a battery in my keyboard, i only need to worry about how strong the adhesive is, not the conductivity, right?

[@Delta0429]

@@bababadooba Yes, the adhesive strength is most of what matter, but it's still a better idea to just use non-conductive tape, so like Scotch Blue Painter's tape or any other kind of paper tape with a light adhesive

[@mrsythgg]

@@Delta0429how can you tell if you have a battery on your keyboard I can’t find info anywhere

[@mrsythgg]

It’s a 60% wired keyboard

[@Delta0429]

@@mrsythgg If it's wireless it has a battery, if it's wired it doesn't, so since yours is wired you don't have to worry about the battery

[@ZGyo_]

Even with just one layer of tape, there are still potential risks. Tapes vary in composition, and some may have adhesive properties or materials that can lead to issues like residue buildup, conductivity problems, or heat retention. Additionally, the pressure from the tape could still have unintended consequences on the components. It's recommended to avoid using tape directly on the motherboard altogether. If you need to dampen sound or protect specific areas, consider alternative solutions like silicone O-rings, soft landing pads, or other materials designed for use with electronics. These alternatives are less likely to cause problems with your keyboard.

[@Pyro4nic]

This is what I like to hear, was very helpful. I was skeptical of this trick, sounds too good to be true

[@Pomiedachi]

and thats why they recommend to use tapes that dont leave any adhesive residue and have no conductivity

[@illujion6516]

Lol youre copy pasting this on all the keyboard videos you find

Cool tip!

[@Beriririi]

You can do this without taking the switches off, for anyone too lazy to do it

[@wrench]

not for the keyboards that come apart the way shown in vid know it all

[@frxggymm2]

how

[@AzatoreVFX]

guys just take the bottom off, don’t have to take every single component apart.

[@gohstnight2630]

I recommend putting multiple layers of tape on the pcb i have 5 and it sounds great

[@jingmingxie]

instructions unclear, my whole pcb fell down when I was smacking my keyboard trying to get my switches of

[@berknoyan7594]

hi asianjc, 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?

[@NatNetNitNotNut]

bro why u need to take the switches off though? :p lol

[@HoustoneToMyBonez]

because you cant take off the plate and you cant tape mod while the switches are still in da pcb

[@AdyyY77]

​@@HoustoneToMyBonez you can though?

[@hamzerpanzer]

​@@AdyyY77The switches are plugged into the PCB though. If you didn't take them off and took off the plate they'd all come out at once and you'd risk bending some of them

[@PhytonG1642]

​@@hamzerpanzerbut the tape is at the bottom of the pcb, it's not necessary actually, cuz all the switch are the same height

It depends on the board😊

[@steffanhalder]

Why do you need to take off the switches? Can’t you just do it directly at the back?

[@vigne888]

I heard that this isnt safe if u have a battery inside ur keyboard, what if u just dont use ur battery at all?

[@andreluv]

Not sure if you dont use your battery it should be fine if you have i would reccomend using electrical tape as it would probably be a lot safer

[@vigne888]

@@andreluv yeah i heard electrical tape works pretty well

Is it safe for the keyboard itself because I don’t wanna risk damaging mine? Also how many layers of tape would I have to use? Thanks.
