modding womier k98 | tape, holee, pe foam

[@ricecloud]

Hi everyone, I didn't notice there was a overlapping of audio lines at the at of the sound tests, until I saw some people were mentioning it. I am so so sorry for that! I don't know how I didn't notice it! This is really annoying to listen to! I will upload another sound test! I am really sorry for that! ;-; Edit: The editing software I'm using had a bug (I reported it already and they said it's fixed now). I cut out the sound test at the end (therefore there is now a rough transition..) and will upload a separate video for them. It might take a few hours for YT to apply the changes. Again, I'm sorry! ;-;

@@109destiny Making the font darker or black is actually worse. You can make a screenshot and add some dark font on top. Adding background wouldn't look good with the aesthetic I am going for. Since now no one mentioned this issue, but if there will be more feedback regarding that, I will try to come up with something. Thanks for your feedback! :)

[@carson6188]

Wow this is just amazing! I’m so used to videos of people just mindlessly buying multiple keyboards for nothing but aesthetics but I absolutely love that you actually work on the ones you own, go you!!

[@gracemaebrown9428]

Ahh, I love your channel, we have like the same aesthetics and keyboard build style which makes me so happy!

awww thank you so much, unfortunately the sound test had overlapping async audio (due to a bug) I will upload the sound test in a separate video. :)

[@Pha3ma]

I love these videos modding keyboards are my favourite

[@abbystudies]

ahh sorry to hear you didnt manage to get the green qk65 :'( it really did sell out super fast! i got the e-white gold one and planning to use my banana splits with a pom plate! hope they restock soon and hope they still bring back the green colour since i saw on discord they might not bring back all the same colours

[@ricecloud]

I bet it will sound amazing! oh no, I really like the green one, but maybe there will be a new colors I will like even more :D

Thankyou so much for the tips with the wire balancing! I was always confused with that one^ I am on my way to learning more about mods,, and because of that I'll actually buy my own keyboard to mod and not play around with my brother's 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Love the video, beautiful work

thank you

[@John_NYT]

YAY! Thank you so much for doing the finger rolls on the keys after the typing 😊😊😊 I don’t know if you did it because I kept commenting asking for it, but if you did I really appreciate it! :)

[@ricecloud]

I added the rolled bc of your comment :D unfortunately the sound tests had overlapping audio :c I will upload them again with rolls ofc :)

[@John_NYT]

@@ricecloud It’s so nice to watch a KZbinr who actually interacts in the comments. Keep up the great work and thank you again! 😁

[@wha-TN-ot]

Hey! Wonderful video, as always! I just wanted to ask about the tape and PE foam that you used to mod your keyboard. How do I know if the tape and the PE foam I use is conductive or not? I heard that some tapes will mess up the keyboard or something. I also, some tapes will leave residue on the pcb and such. Did yours have any residue, or any interference with the pcb? Sorry for my ignorance… I’m still a bit new to this hobby 😅

[@ricecloud]

Hi you can google how to test if the pe foam is conductive, but when i searched about pe foam mod, it felt like everyone are saying different things... i had some left over pe foam from a giant tv flat screen, and it happens to be save to use (i just tried it out tbh), i still have so much left, that i probably won't ever have to worry about it running out. As for tape, i think painters tape is the best, as they are designed for not being too sticky, i use masking tape which is similar to painters tape, but it's adhesive is suppose to be a little bit stickier, it did peel it tape off of some boards and had no residue issues (idk the long term impact tho)

[@wha-TN-ot]

@@ricecloud Oh ok, I see now. Thank you very much for your help, I truly appreciate it! Also, keep it up with your videos, they're awesome!

[@Dennis-tj5zk]

good video again

[@shravan1645]

no sound testssss😢😭😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿

[@jess.froggy6569]

hey, i think on the modded sound tests, it might be using two mics? it’s hard to accurately judge the sound because i’m hearing the keys twice per press. wonderful video asides from the audio issues! the sound tests were the only part i heard the problem.

[@ricecloud]

Yes, there is like two async audio, caused by a bug on my editing software, I will upload a separate sound tests. Thanks for pointing it out! Sorry for that :c

[@bobasharks]

those blue pudding keycaps it came with are so cute-- do they only come with the keyboard ;w;

[@henkonloveyou]

liked it so much i liked it twice accidentally lol

[@YT_Atomaly]

I want to see this with GamaKay Phoenix switches. Most silent keyboard?

[@keoo5290]

If ur still looking to upgrade some budget boards, you should defenitly try the MK870, its a tkl with south facing pcb, screw in compatability and its only worth $80! Nevertheless great content! You def deserve the 19k !!!

[@ricecloud]

Was eyeing the mk870 for a while but I am not a huge fan of tkl anymore (except if you can reprogram the keys) but I will consider getting on, if there is enough interest! Thank you so much!

[@TottoB]

Does it need to be normal tape or can it be the paper tape? idk if the paper tape would be risky with the battery of my epomaker th66

[@JuniorLoup]

love your video !!! I purchased a K98 recently, but i'm used to AZERTY keyboard, do you know where can I find pudding keycaps that are made for AZERTY ? Because it's seems like there are none on the market :/

[@ricecloud]

a quick search on google says that there are pudding xda keycaps, however they seem to be not available right now. if it has not to be sculpted and pudding keycaps, then you could go for xda, dsa, asa keycap profile, reach row are the same so you can change the keycaps regardless of the position

[@laReina.crimson]

Where do people get pe foam from? I don't have any extra packaging laying around with it in there ;-; also in the end you decided not to go with the foam right? trying to use this mod for my gammakay87.

[@ricecloud]

I don't think that pe foam will make a huge a difference. I think there are also pe foam switch pads.

[@NUDELMOB]

Hmmm, I think it would have been cool if you also had put a blue or white layer of paper or something on the back, since now the tape is visible there. Not that one looks on the back of the keyboard very often, but I think it'd be a nice touch ✌️

[@renee9109]

hi!! what keycaps do you have in the thumbnail of this video? they're so cute! :)

[@ricecloud]

hi! i forgot to link them in the description >//

[@renee9109]

@@ricecloud thank you!!

[@NoizeTank]

Did the tape mod have an effect on the RGB around the board?

[@ricecloud]

It's a little bit more dimmed I would say. But the lights are still bright and vibrant. But you can just leave the spots out. The tape will be still effective.

[@Zessa]

i still cant remove my switches. ive been going back and forth with pulling motion. idk if my switch puller is bad or im using the wrong force. every tutorial i watch, i did the same so idk what im doing. and yes mine is hot swappable and can be diy

[@ashleigh_777]

are u pushing down on both flaps on the top and bottom of the switch? sometimes the plate can be made quite tight making it hard to pull out the switches. i'd recommend getting a separate full size switch puller instead of the small ones that usually come along with a keyboard, they work way better

[@Zessa]

@@ashleigh_777 yup, i do make sure both flaps are being pushed down while I pull. Thank you for the reco! any full size switch puller you recommend? I'm still new at modding.

[@ThunderflySc2]

Just wondering where you able to pull your switches up?

Me wondering How i even mod a keyboard: i can do this easily! No fang you really cant

[@quixoticduck]

I want all of the keyboards and keycaps that you have!! 🥲 btw I saw some lavender/cream/pink marshmallow cotton candy XDA keycaps which I think really fit your aesthetic, have you seen those? 😊 I'm probably going to buy them along with the pink tm680 like you have. although I've heard the tm680 can go faulty easily, have you heard this at all? 😟

[@ricecloud]

not sure about the xda keycaps, but i heard the problem with the tm680. a few month past and my tm680 still works like a charm, that is all i can say.

[@quixoticduck]

@@ricecloud that's good to hear, thanks! 😊
