Writings not that easy. But grammarly can help! This sentence is grammatically correct, but it's wordy and boring...

[@targa7506]

@Daniel Lee It undermines the writers message, and the word choice is bland. Grammarly's cutting-edge technology helps you craft compelling, understandable writing, and makes an impact on your reader. Much better. Yes, I did copy that straight from a grammarly ad.

"Keyboard number 'B'" - Squashy Boy, 2021

[@Tharindu87]

As a guy who's still using his Corsair Vengeance K95 (Not even RGB, even before the one you're working on) I am mighty impressed by this video. I love my keyboard and don't really want to throw it away just yet. I might do some restoration like you are doing ;)

[@XtergoBlue]

I would actually enjoy gaming keyboards to be modded and made as good as customs more than custom ones themselves. Because software, wireless, latency and RGB integration is still straight up better on them, if they felt the same they would be the better boards

[@bennypallot4147]

mansspittinfax

[@iotaku]

I actually modded a gaming board. (Armageddon smk-9r). Replaced the switches with outemu purples and lubed them with krytox 205g0. Then replaced the keycaps with gmk darlings. Now it's poppy as hell

[@xevnn280]

@@iotaku nice, how good are outemu purples, i was thinking of getting them but idk how good they are

[@wangxuanliehnqav]

Software in terms of keymappings is straight up worse, USB latency (poll rate) of most top gaming boards are 1000Hz (I'm pretty sure this is limited by USB protocol), which QMK can be configured to with #define USB_POLLING_INTERVAL_MS 1, and picking up multiple keypresses in the same 1ms interval with #define QMK_KEYS_PER_SCAN.

[@louisgarbour2737]

I agree with everything except for the software part, as a lot of them are kinda bloatware-ish. QMK is meh, but Via and Vial are imo better than almost all OEM software.

[@al20ov87]

love these restoration videos somehow also the keyboard actually sounds more than decent

[@joshsblee]

This is by far the most relatable piece of keyboard content I have ever seen. I actually stuffed mine full of paper towel and put vaseline into my stabs. It sounds pretty good tbh.

[@krisreddish3066]

My K70 with the MX speed switches is old crusty and survived so many liquids, they are sorta a beast. The LEDs are mostly gone at this point but the switches are broken in and much smoother than stock. Kind of odd but I used to think it scratchy but have no decent solder sucker so I went with it and they smoothed out over the years. I may reclaim them after I do take it apart some day. I bet they would glide like butter after a cleaning and lube.

[@rocky-zx6kq]

Can you drop 99% percent solution of isopropyl alcohol in the broken switches and let it dry but please don't use 70% percent solution because it will corrode I hope that help Edit: Press the switches after dropping the alcohol to spread out the alcohol

Me over here still using my K70 LUX RGB from 2017 with MX Browns. I had two keys completely break within a couple days last week, so I got cheap white double shot PBT pudding keycaps from Amazon and am loving it. If someone were to want to buy it though, a barebones full-size GMMK, Gateron SMD Yellows, and GPBT keycaps sounds kinda nice..

[@4-eyedtoycollector200]

Eyyy you gave me another idea. By the way, I was "inspired" by your Razer video to "mod" my old Blackwidow X Chroma (and it was my first time to disassemble a keyboard). I botched up most of the LEDs but I all the switches replaced, from Razer greens to lubed Gateron yellows, and it was so fun to use. Might mod my Corsair K63 Wireless (or at least fix the rattle in the space bar) in the near future, too!
