I used a pillow to make my keyboard THOCK

Royal Kludge sponsored this build of the RK G68 with Matcha Switches from Prevail Key Co. This is one of the top selling mechanical keyboards on Amazon, but I put a $100 Pillow in there. Why????????

Nice video! To help with stabilizer rattle, after cleaning off the wire set it down on something flat like back of phone or desk and tap the sides. If it wobbles or taps the surface, the wire is not flat and almost always results in rattle. Bend the wire slightly on the ends where the 90 degree angle is until wire is even and flush with flat surface. Works like a charm everytime!

[@OHOE1]

100$ pillow, Sheesh

[@chewyrocks]

I have that pillow and I absolutely love it, I fall asleep with it within a minute. Youre supposed to take away or add fluff depending if youre a back, side, or facedown sleeper. Since I'm a back sleeper I think I took out half of the fluff that was in the pillow by default.

[@FamKayGray]

Omg I love this pillow lmao

[@im_Spade_]

hmmmmm I thought I was a bit odd for using craft felt in mine but this is next level

[@CaloysKeyboards]

Your strong stance on clones is really admirable, Hipyo. It feels like a minority stance. Also, I'm curious about why you didn't like the pillow lol

[@HipyoTech]

The pillow kinda sinks way too much, it hurts my neck

[@likkha]

"fill it with play doh or something? That'd be outrageous" some dude out there is now going to be really tempted to do this edit: oh

[@harrisdogra]

these were the first stabilisers i had ever lubed. not the same keyboard but same stabs. I really learnt a lot about stabilisers from experimenting with these. it took me a while to put them all back together and working but hey now I know.

[@o.wilson]

Im an enthusiast and I got a rk61 to mod out as a budget board and I can personally say these boards have veeerryyyy high potential and I loveee it

[@nepwor]

This thock makes me sleepy good thing there is pillow included

[@brocky]

The Coop Home Goods pillow is phenomenal. It's my go-to gift for my friends or acquaintances. The key is to remove the fill inside the pillow to adjust to your sleep style. But back to the topic, I was looking at the RK68 and it seems like the mod work won't result in the quality sound I'm looking for. You think the Keydous NJ68 is a significant upgrade to the RK68?

[@Y__umeko]

Hey, if you still have this keyboard or to anyone that wants to mod a rk61 keyboard, The stabilizers aren't really secured to the board. I put some double sized tape between the board and the stabilizer. It helped a lot it fikzed the annoying rattle that I couldn't get rid off. :D

On my Royal Kludge the housing of the stabilisers were not wide enough for MX stems and I had to bend them wider open to stop them clacking and crunching.

[@sticksloser6132]

Im just going to mention this because i didnt see anyone say it but i think u didnt clip the stabs properly Because when u clipped it u didnt do it at an angle which cause the stabs to be cut so that it wasnt flat which could affect the sound but im not rlly sure i just thought it would be good to mention

I got a a rol of sticky foam for a couple reasons, a foam meter for my bass wanted to see if I liked the muting on open strings and it reduces rattle and then my keyboard came in! And I remembered the video you made about the play dough its dense foam but also light I shaved off some of it and I made a thick spacebar!!

I actually bought a royal kludge before I fell into the rabbit hole of mechanical keyboard mods. (Thanks a lot...;D) I knew after watching previous videos of yours that you had used this technique before and thought about doing it to my board since it sounds really hollow and pingy. Lo and behold you're modding on the keyboard I bought lol. I'm not confident in replacing stabilizers yet (the stock ones are really rattlely on the space bar especially), but I do have switch lube, an opener, and your hippo keys coming in soon! Already replaced the switches a week or so ago 😎 Edit: I mean I won't be doing this. It's a fire hazard.
