Let‘s mod ROG Azoth

[@furiosound]

that edit and transitions were flawless 😚👌

[@mrblurleighton]

I'm not so sure. If I didn't already know I'd think they keyboard was special and that I don't need a key or switch puller to disassemble it.

[@nadershalabi6241]

Great modding, loved every second of it

[@keybaytech]

Many thanks!

[@884tomato]

For those who want to recreate this: Just hotswap the switches and keycaps with what you prefer and lube them. The Azoth is already built well enough, you dont need to replace any inside and its a waste of money. Tho it doesn't remove the crappy software.

[@keybaytech]

totally agreed, azoth itself is good enough.

[@baka_ja_nai]

The foam will likely silence it too much.

[@minhquantran8267]

will i get a similiar sound tho? i really like the typing sound in the video, will get get a similiar result if i just get the same switches and leave the rest build as it is?

[@884tomato]

@@minhquantran8267 almost, yes

[@GooseWurkz]

When will the modding kit be back in stock? I'd buy right now if it was.

[@keybaytech]

Shortly😂

[@kubkodev]

Oh pls, by any chance will there be any future restock for modding kit? Interested in pom

[@baka_ja_nai]

Hmmm, this sounds kinda like Rainy75? Very cool!

[@lithan1101]

bro, pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaase bring the modding kit back in stock, I've been trying to get it for a long time

[@keybaytech]

I am keep restocking but usually sold out in 1 day😂

[@keybaytech]

But I will have more coming next week

[@aadhavan2777]

love this vid

[@hotdognobun]

That's a cool sound

[@keybaytech]

Many thanks!

[@raz0r9199]

Sounded better (less hollow) without removing the base adhesive foam.

[@marcwinner567]

Great results Mr.Keybay ! But why would you even buy the Azoth in the first place if doing all these tweaks? There must be a lot of cheaper boards out there with similar base quality for you to perform the same mods on.

[@rafau6200]

the asus software has to be the "thing"

[@nicholaswicks3077]

@@rafau6200the keyboard it’s self is amazing but the software is dogshit

[@lute_cg]

welp there are a lot of better boards out there so yeah not worth

[@JetSe77er]

The 2.4ghz wireless on this keyboard is a lot faster than basically anything else, so if you're using it for gaming I'd say it's worth it. The only thing you're missing out on are hall effect switches you could get in the Apex Pro Mini, but that one doesn't sound as nice.

[@paolocoletti3424]

@@JetSe77er And that is only 60 % so not exactly a alternative/comparison

[@Speedy94uru]

why change the switches? NX Snow are perfect :(

[@keybaytech]

Because I want to make it clacky😂

[@sergiohidalgo9783]

i love it

[@ev1ltrix369]

are thoses keycaps will be in stock again or what?.. great modding, but for my part just did the removale of extra foam at the bottom and used my own ttc silver v1 switch lubbed and modded and sound great just not a fan of the default keycaps .

[@keybaytech]

yes, the keycap set is restocking

[@ev1ltrix369]

@@keybaytech Awesome! i may gonna consider to buy a set even tought the legends are not shine through it' look freaking cool not gonna lie xD, thanks

[@ZAIBYR]

Underrated. Just curious how much did you improve/increase the cost of this board?

[@keybaytech]

not too much depends on which keycaps would you like to use, if go GMK then :/ a lot money

[@TechVerified2K]

Nice video and vibe. Also, thanks to you...I just spent 320 bucks on a keyboard and keycaps, lol.

[@keybaytech]

🥲🥲🥲

[@djchoize295]

Can i just order the POM Plate for ROG Azoth??

[@CedStyla]

Does this fit for german model, too? Waiting for restock :)

[@keybaytech]

I don’t think so lol, it’s for ANSI. I had a customer in German, he cuts the foams himself

[@vacara1534]

what is that clock in the background? I want one!

[@keybaytech]

you can check aliexpress, stein:gate clock

[@milo4is]

what are those layers material before the plate foam?

[@manssupar]

How i can build custom keyboard like this? My budget not more than 150$

[@keybaytech]

If you are just looking for typing sound like this, there are many budget keyboard no more than $150. You can check my shop there is one called A75 just $90 with this typing sound.

[@TheEightDomain]

Hey hi, what do you think of the stock stabs is it good?? I'm planning to replace mine with Durock V2 or GSV2 stabs but still can't decide which or just not replace it?

[@keybaytech]

Their stock stabs design is kinda wired, I highly recommend you replace them with any plate stabs. durock is great btw.

[@TheEightDomain]

@@keybaytech Is plate mounted stabs better than screw ins?? thank u for the response btw

[@keybaytech]

@@TheEightDomain I dont think one is better than others or not. Some custom boards only support PCB stabs and Azoth only support Plate Stabs.

[@TheEightDomain]

@@keybaytech I see, thank you... btw is the stock alu plate of Azoth thicker than FR4 plate?? I want to change mine to FR4 hoping the switch/keycaps will sit deeper so I wont see the switches from the front.

[@keybaytech]

@@TheEightDomain yes the original plate from azoth itself is more thicker. I already throw it away.

[@whydontyousayso13198]

what was the strip that was connecting the case to the PCB? How do I remove it safely? I can't find any videos on that lol

[@keybaytech]

Just lift up and you are good to go

[@trancegate2910]

i liked much original sound

[@Zerbijan]

Caps are niceeee

[@azuremain]

Is it still double shot transparent after the modding?

[@Daniel-d2c3q]

I need a list of parts for this build please

[@keybaytech]

All parts in description

[@johnlesthercarvero5604]

Who's lets?

[@kristofferrer]

is it possible to replace the keys with a low profile switch and keys?

[@keybaytech]

no, low profile switch is a different story

[@kah1995]

what is the main factor for the keyboard sound here? is it the switches or the other mods?

[@minhquantran8267]

i am also interested whether i need the SWITCHES or the MODKIT or just the KEYCAPS to get as close as possible to the video without buying all of those XD

[@keybaytech]

My personal understanding of this is that the primary function of a mod kit is to reduce internal keyboard noise or hollowness when typing. I must say that the original Azoth is already quite good, but the metal plate and rubber padding can't fully dampen the noise. Since the interaction between the switch, plate, and PCB is a mechanical structure, mechanical collisions inevitably produce noise. The padding in the mod kit effectively absorbs this noise. The main reason for this typing sound is the Cheese switch. My friend, the cheese switch designer chose molds from HMX manufacturer and implemented a unique lubrication method during the design process. This gives the cheese switch poppy sound while effectively reducing the friction within the mechanical structure of the switch, making it smoother. Therefore, our cheese switch can be used directly without the need for additional hand lube. and of course, this is just my personal understanding of this matter. If there are any mistakes, please feel free to correct me.

[@keybaytech]

I am very sorry, because I have already throw away the original plate from Azoth, so I may not be able to help you with testing. However, I believe that if you directly replace the original Azoth switches with Cheese switches, the sound should be quite good as well.

[@kah1995]

@@keybaytech so the "keybay cheese switch" is not exactly the same as any "hmx cheese switch" i find online? *probably gonna buy from ur site anyway :)

[@kah1995]

​@@keybaytech thanks for the reply. but do you know if the mod kit will be available again? (i am also a little hesitant to get the switches, because those switches would hinder the RGB of the keyboard)
