Keychron K10 Pro: Unboxing | Modding | Sound Tests W/ Glorious Pandas & Durock T1s

[@jasonpricealt7122]

Trolling around looking for reviews on the K10 Pro and landed here. Voiceover is actually a really nice format for these kinds of videos frankly.

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Thanks so much! I appreciate your feedback 😄

[@pedrolycus]

I've been looking for this keyboard for a long time, and with your video I'm confortable enough to buy and mod one. Great voice over btw, thanks a lot! I wish there we're more 100% layout keyboard mods out there hahahaha

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Thank you so much!! I appreciate it 🥹🫶🏾 when I was trying to figure out which board to buy, I couldn’t find annyyyyy videos on this one! So when I decided to get this specific one, I knew I really wanted to try to make a video bc I had such a hard time finding any videos on nice full layout keeb options 😢 I’m so happy this helped!! Let me know how you like it! ☺️

[@P1ratRuleZZZ]

I'm glad that your brother has a cool sister who builds custom keyboards. this nintendo keyboard is sick! I'm sure he liked it

[@sturge.p8443]

I like the voiceover, it works really well with the music and it's very soothing yet engaging.

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Tysm! I appreciate your feedback! 🥹💓

[@FedEx8]

Sick editing as always! Enjoyed it.

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Thank you so much 🥺 👉🏾👈🏾

[@darrenbermingham]

The effort/charm put into these videos is rihDIK. Can't believe I'm in at 316 subs. Really appreciate the detail and experience.

[@Meerkatkeebs]

@@darrenbermingham 🥺 thank you so so much!! 😭🫶🏾

[@triassic911]

Wow, the sound test after the mod sounds soooo good!

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Thanks so much!

[@OMGitsBababoey]

Great video!! Been searching forever for someone to test this board. The board looks amazing!

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Thank you so muchhh! 😭🫶🏾

[@RetroPlus]

Lovely keyboard, seems like a perfect keyboard for productivity tasks. I love the pleasant atmosphere on this video too.

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Thanks so much! I appreciate your feedback 😄

[@spotofrelaxation1]

Like the voiceover explaining it’s my first video about modding

[@bartolomeothesatyr]

I appreciate the voiceover.

[@roxannedurano5977]

voice over is awesome 👌

[@ЙирюВонаирда]

It was very useful actually so yeah. Idk about the coolest thing but it was pretty damn cool. Good video. When I saw how things just can be opened my mind just go poof cos I was worrying about the cleaning. But now huh... It looks like its good piece.

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Thank you for watching and for the feedback 💓💓💓

[@abdullahabunijim3554]

That was mad good. Respect++

[@Meerkatkeebs]

I appreciate that!!

[@grantwilcox330]

Thank you for sharing. I just a K10 and some of the LED aren't working. Keychron is sending me a new PCB to swap out in a couple weeks.

[@Meerkatkeebs]

I appreciate your feedback! 🙏🏾 also that’s super cool of Keychron! Glad they’re getting that sorted out for you!

[@TheGrandOptimst1]

Dude your edits were 🔥 I’m also starting to create KZbin content and I wish I was as creative as you with the editing!

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Man, I really appreciate it 🥹🙏🏾 just subscribed, can’t wait to see your content!

[@TheGrandOptimst1]

Thanks! I appreciate you!

[@odhiambo0]

So I am wondering what's the importance of the tape mod. Excuse my noob-iness.

[@285049]

It's supposed to give the board a deeper, more muted sound. So that the sound is not so high pitched

[@pkerry12]

I am amazed u can type with nails that long well done

[@revakriid]

Was feeling uncomfortable when you were putting tape. Feeling that board might break . Great vid. Might suggest that when you are doing the final typing tests, Have a sequence of what keys you are hitting, and have a comparision from before the mod was done. So that it would be easier to see how much it was improved.

[@Meerkatkeebs]

@@revakriid thank uu! I appreciate your feedback! Thanks for watching :)

[@ParallaxPete]

your brother is so lucky to have you 😭 love your desk set up and vibe and the keyboard turned out great! I just bought a k10 pro after watching this video, I wanna make my own custom one now! do you have any recommendations on where to find nice key caps? its hard to find ones that are back lit and have the right font/feel I'm looking for.

[@Meerkatkeebs]

🥹🫶🏾Thank you so much! Yay!! I’m so glad you got one, and you can totally customize it! I mostly get keycaps from aliexpress to be honest! I have purchased some nicer sets from Cannon Keys, Kinetic Labs, and Osume as well. I’d definitely start on Aliexpress and then my next suggestion would be cannon keys!

[@ParallaxPete]

@@Meerkatkeebs Thank you!! Hope to see more videos from you ♥️

[@dwisuryanto4603]

Well thank you so much, i really am looking for video keychron k10 pro. Now i'm sure i will buy this keyboard.

[@Meerkatkeebs]

YAY! So glad I could help!! Thx watching! 🥹🫶🏾

[@dwisuryanto4603]

​@@Meerkatkeebshello, 2 days ago i bought this keyboard. Really excited to have this keyboard. Thank you so much

[@aytviewer2421]

I quite like your final product. Dig those Nintendo 'ish keycaps. Sweet! Sort of wish you would have given us a 10-15 second peek how the keeb illuminated under low-level light as those keycaps did not seem even faintly translucent. Thanks for the video. Oh yeah, like your brother I always want a fully functional numpad. Anyone who works with heaps of numbers have no patience typing columns of digits using the number row on the main part of the keyboard. It's just too darn slow. Again, thanks!

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Thanks so much for the feedback!! Glad you enjoyed the video 🥹💓

[@Sallaxer]

Super! Thanks for the video. But I don't understand why you need a double layer of scotch. And what could you advise to make this keyboard as quiet as possible?

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Thank you!! So when doing the tape mod, you can create a slightly different sound depending on how many layers of tape you use! I think most people tend to use around 3 layers? In terms of making it quiet, I probably wouldn’t use the tape mod and I’d get silent switches! And maybe adding some case foam as well!

[@gvidales182]

Thanks a lot for this!!! Where did you get those awesome keycaps?? Also, would you recommend the K10 pro over the K10? Great video! And the voice over works!

[@Meerkatkeebs]

I’m sorry I’m getting to this late! But first, thank you! I really appreciate the feedback 🫶🏾 Second: the keycaps are linked in the description and they’re on Etsy! 😀 And as far as my recommendation-honestly, I think the K10Pro for sure! BUT, the K10 is still an awesome board with similar features! Lmk what you decide on! :)

[@rokutime2627]

I liked the video format -- short and informative. Are you still using this keyboard and can you recommend it?

[@MatthewSemones]

just a bit of a warning... using "paper" based tapes to do a tape mod can (and has) caught on fire. please keep an eye on it. oh, and I had to add that I really dig that keycap set! Fantastic!

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Thank you so much! I have been hearing this a lot lately, so I’m definitely going to keep an eye out. Thanks again, and I’m glad you like the keycap set! 😄

[@jesuszamora6949]

Were the plate screws overly tight to you? I got a K10 Pro just recently, and the plate screws were SUCH a pain in the ass. I was scared of stripping a few.

[@captainraven41]

Awesome video! Love the voiceover personally! I have been looking at getting this keyboard for my wife for her everyday driver for work. My one concern in the ping from the aluminum case. You lessened that in your build, but do you have any recommendations on how to lessen that even more? I like a little more “thoccy” sound lol. More muted I suppose. Thanks again for the great content!

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Wow thanks so much for your feedback! 😁 Regarding your question: I definitely prefer thoccy sounding keebs for sure! I’d recommend two things; 1. Try swapping the aluminum plate for a Pom or polycarb one like this: www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjUvdLC-Mf_AhVoK9QBHaX7Da4YABAEGgJvYQ&ae=2&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESbeD2WuR1kZ70D2DjvRjV2FPCOh3Unc4zpgkSCwPlh0OG1LhMJtMDoZy65dabDoP5MSdRCtUv88RiCmu1xODNQsodInmDFb09e4jlBtGIwPIV3G5R10D2TzIjhGragRTxzj7bkq5J9l6L9q8xr4I&sig=AOD64_1QLsxUOPwzs4UNlarqy5ivDrbOsA&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjkrMbC-Mf_AhW3l2oFHRLjBx0Qwg8oAHoECAEQDA&adurl= 2. Add some foam to the case. I have been trying out a few different options one my Akko 3068b keeb. I have never been a fan bc of the aluminum plate and the sound that comes with it. But I ordered this foam from Amazon and man, it actually made the board sound super thoccy and gave it a much lower pitch sound profile! Here is the link: amzn.to/3N6tKJ8

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Now, you definitely don’t HAVE to get that specific foam, but I have found that it tends to make everything I use it on, sound super thoccy. I plan on making a video about it soon. Either way; thanks so much for the feedback and I hope you wife LOVES whichever keeb you choose!

[@louisfifteen]

Great video, very helpful. I have seen other videos about modding and I am pretty sure you need to use electrical tape to avoid fire hazards?

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Hi! Thank you for watching & thank you for the feedback 🥹💖 regarding the electrical tape-yeah, you’re definitely right! I have discussed this with another viewer in the comments on this same video (I think it was this video lol) anyways yeah a lot of people seem to go back and forth on that topic specifically. Ive always used regular scotch and then just avoid the battery area if possible. But I’ve been meaning to try out electrical to eliminate the hazards!

[@patrickpaulo34]

hello, had there been an issue with your toggle switch for Bluetooth? I use mine often and i think its loose.

[@Rakku]

Loved the video. Just got my K10 Pro, its my first "customy type" keyboard and Im super stoked with it. Would the holee mod replace the dielectric grease? Dont have any on hand and krytox + some tools arrive tomorrow. Kinda torn on what treatment I should use on the stabilizers. Tons of different mods out there. I´ll definetly try the tape mod and work on the stabilizers of the spacebar, since its the only thing bothering me with this keyboard.

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Yay!! I’m so glad! I hope you love ittt 😍 So, I’m personally SO BAD at modding/tuning stabs. I think the holee mod would be a perfect alternative to the dielectric grease! I keep failing my holee mod attempts so I’ve decided to just let it go for now Loll. I’ve seen a lot of people using krytox on their stabilizer wires so you could also try that as well! I’d love to hear how it sounds when you’re done, you should totally post a yt short or something so we can see!!

[@Rakku]

​@@Meerkatkeebs I´ll try to do that! Didnt you have any concerns regarding the tape mod on a keyboard with a battery? Im reading a lot of mixed comments about that. Many say the tape mod is a fire hazard with a batterry, so now Im unsure about it.

[@Meerkatkeebs]

@@Rakku yeah I’ve been back and forth on that one a lot! I tend to just tape mod anyway, and try to avoid the battery/connection area. I tend to use most of my keyboards wired, so if I do tape mod a board that’s tri mode, I usually just don’t re-connect the battery. That’s mostly my anxiety, but I’ve never had an issue with tape and my bt boards. It does make me wonder tho. Now I am like side eyeing my battery boards with tape 👀

[@Rakku]

@@Meerkatkeebs Haha, yeah. I try to look at it scientificly. The K10 Pro has a plastic housing, other plastic materials and foam in it. If something like tape could catch fire, wouldnt the rest without the tape also do that? Like, would it actually make any difference? I mean I get it, paper on battery = bad. But plastic and foam around batteries dont sound any better. I guess Im going to look up the flammable point of plastics and masking tape now, lol.

[@Meerkatkeebs]

@@Rakku YOU HAVE SUCH VALID POINTS Omgg 😭 rethinking my life rn!! Heavyyy on the plastic and foam doesn’t sound much better 😩 I’ve seen some people mention using electrical tape? But like I know it’ll be a sticky mess on the pcb, which can cause a whole host of additional issues.. pls lmk your research finds. I’m invested now LOL

[@hassansohail2256]

Good video. Subscribed. Where can i buy thos keys from? Hopefully available in the UK

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Thank you!! The keycaps are from Etsy and the link is in the description! 😄 hopefully they ship to UK!

[@GOATMENTATOR]

How to know what keycaps will fit this keyboard? Do all keycaps fit or there are some kind of measurement system?

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Hey! In short, majority of keycaps will most likely fit this keyboard. But switch and click has an article as well as a video here on yt elaborating more on this: switchandclick.com/will-it-fit-finding-keycaps-that-will-fit-your-keyboard/#:~:text=You%20can%20check%20if%20a,keys%20than%20a%20standard%20layout.

[@GOATMENTATOR]

@@Meerkatkeebs Thank you for the info I will check it out! :)

[@roxannedurano5977]

Hi @Meerkat Keebs, do you know if we can lube Keychron Red Pro Switch? or is it even worth it?

[@Meerkatkeebs]

@@roxannedurano5977 hi! Yes, you totally can lube the pro red switches! They come sort of factory lubed, but if you remove that and lube them yourself, it’ll definitely improve the sound and overall typing feel of them!

[@shakes31421]

Is that NewJeans playing in the background?! Sounds like Attention! Omg are you a bernie, too? 😅

[@Everything_Was_Taken]

i found one at 70% off with Honey (yes, jimmys sponsor) and i wanted to know if it was good

[@Herbinhaler]

What was the final price of your mod?

[@dayslikethis82]

How would you make this sound more creamy?

[@lt1caprice57l]

Surprising amount of stab rattle considering my latest C2 has *none at all* stock. C2 is bottom tier compared to the K10 pro which is essentially a wireless V6 which itself is a cost-reduced Q6... long winded way of saying the K10 Pro is one notch under top tier.

[@jacobus57]

I think it's the tactiles.

[@alexandertanseco548]

Why no backlighting?

[@Meerkatkeebs]

This board has back lighting! I just was rushing and didn’t even think to include a clip showing it 😓 it’s also VIA compatible and I did play around with the RGB options-I will say, it’s not super bright, but I also wasn’t using rgb friendly switches or keycaps. Next time my brother is in town I’ll have him bring the board and I can film the RGB options 😊

[@liberty5191]

beautiful video can you tell me where can one learn to mod a keyboard from opening it removing caps and switches to finising the mod everything from scratch for a begineer and some do's and don't you would like to sugggest

[@jacobus57]

I just picked one up and it does not sound like this at all. Mine is very thocky and not at all clacky, but it does have the red linears and not the tactiles.

[@dofuswiki-en]

hey, you sound like a genuine person. Would you be interested in making me a keyboard like you made your brother? and of course, il pay you? I'm Interested in a full-size keyboard, just like your brother but I want it modified in a way to make as minimal clicking noise as possible. I want the keys to still have a smooth travel distance and still be smooth and fast to type with " average 100 WPM" but with no clickie noise. I see videos where some people modify the keyboards and call it "THOC" noise? I'd like it to sound something similar to that or even quieter. I'm a 911 operator and my keyboard quality is very crucial when it comes to performance. Right now, I'm using a razer keyboard called black widow, it allows me to type crazy fast, i love it but the noise is driving me nuts when I need to listen to the radio transmissions and type at the same time. let me know, thank you.

[@93Auditore]

how many hours?

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Are you asking how many hours it took for me to mod this? If so, I’d say about 3 hours, but I also had to film which takes more time. I was also rushing bc silly me procrastinated doing this until the last second 🫠

[@at-at-at]

I’m amazed but a little conscious with your long nails

[@Meerkatkeebs]

Oh no 😭 this was filmed during one of the rare instances where I actually had nails :3

[@winwinwin420]
