Nice video! I was just wondering but do you happen to know if they sell a metallic version of the plastic frame your removed from the keyboard at the beginning of the disassembly process? I have a similar keyboard (Sink87G) and am looking to make some modifications to it and it would be nice to have the plastic frame replaced with a better quality, metallic one.

[@huykhoinguyen1725]

thank you for guiding me how to open this keyboard case

[@davidnavarro5714]

I tried the tape mod on the stabilisers and when I lifted them up they popped off the wire. Can’t get them to snap back onto the wire and into the hole in the plate. Plate and switch are both soldered to the PCB… any ideas?

[@morery_]

What spray lubricant was used in this video or which one would you typically recommend. Thanks!

[@elijahvinson9907]

Pers 🥰

[@NiftyKeyboards]

@@kevin08908 hey black and white theme looks good also if got the right peripheral.

[@trilliuxlive]

I entered the giveaway!

[@TheCPSkull1100]

what width is the foam that you used?

[@derosasruben]

Any issue say maybe after a couple of weeks lubing the switches? I saw some videos and articles that it somehow made the keys malfunction...

[@NiftyKeyboards]

no issues on my experience, so do it at your own risk.

[@kayoriskeyboards]

@@NiftyKeyboards yo, your style is actually like wildcat, but I still love it

[@NiftyKeyboards]

thanks. I'm inspired by him

[@joshuacalasanz3817]

do you have a lubing service? bought an rk987 and would love it to sound and feel like the one in the vid :)

[@NiftyKeyboards]

hiii you may pm me on my Facebook page ☺️

[@JordanLanuza]

The claccs are real hahah

[@NiftyKeyboards]

it's real bruh

[@Samazing01]

Great video! Does this keyboard use plate-mounted or screw-in stabilizers? Thank you very much!

[@randombrowser6692]

Plate mounted

[@shenclaes9729]

I'm excited for RK987 and Ajazz k870t comparison when is it?

[@NiftyKeyboards]

soon ☺️

[@NiftyKeyboards]

hey i guess I'll delay the comparison for a maybe a week. im waiting for my maono pm421 microphone ☺️

[@Aliya123]

Hi. Can I ask if I can use thicker foam than 3mm? it's a bit hard to find it at my place, I only manage to find 1 cm thickness. Will there be a problem if I use 1cm?

[@NiftyKeyboards]

yeah actually i ran out of 3mm foam, if not i would make it 2 layer of 3mm. or maybe more in the upper part of the case

[@1234djmonroe]

@@NiftyKeyboards can it fit 6mm foam at the bottom part? edit - I stuffed my keyboard with 6mm just now and it sounds very silent compare to your typing test, and this is without lubing my switches, I guess 6mm dampens the acoustic a lot to almost silent.

[@NiftyKeyboards]

4mm is the max i can recommend

[@kevchavez]

Do you do mechanical keyboard modding services? If so, I'd deliver my mkb to you.

[@johnbrixledesma495]

rk68 :)

[@matthewteves8090]

Do you think gateron yellows can fit in there? Still torn if whether I should get this or a cheap barebone kit that I found in Shopee.

[@NiftyKeyboards]

if it's soldered, it will fit every switches hehe.

[@matthewteves8090]

@@NiftyKeyboards nice hehe, I thought it'll have some trouble with the plate or something

[@NiftyKeyboards]

as long as its plate mounted switch there is no problem.

[@kurtorpilla4134]

That’s sick if I tried to do that I would either make it worse or break it😂

[@kurtorpilla4134]

I subbed to u now 😀

[@NiftyKeyboards]

thanks. well practice makes perfect 😂

[@mirenomo4209]

Which do you prefer? Spray lube or just a normal lube? Cause i'm tryna start lubing my switches

[@NiftyKeyboards]

i still prefer the normal lubing, but spray lubing aren't bad either. you might wanna try them if you don't have time desoldering and resoldering back your switches. long story short, this is a faster way to lube your keyboard in with great results but on the other hand normal lubing takes more time with consistent result and better experience.

[@mirenomo4209]

@@NiftyKeyboards Oh i might gon buy a spray lube so that it will be easier cause i know desoldering and resoldering is hard and time consuming

[@NiftyKeyboards]

yess. maybe 24hrs time doing that. depending in your soldering skills and quality of solder iron and sucker hehe

[@avii.8842]

jow many pins in the red switches? I want to buy and change the switch tho

[@NiftyKeyboards]

its not hotswap, you need to desolder to replace them. its 3 pin socket

[@keiko4667]

Hi!! Im kinda lost on what to do with the tape in 3:47 can you explain what to do here? thank you!!!

[@NiftyKeyboards]

you just put it where the stab will sit. on the edge of the hole where the stab will fit.

[@humblefufu5895]

anong product po ginamit niyo sa pag spray?

[@peentherat5163]

Can you spray lube any mx-style switch?

[@NiftyKeyboards]

you cant spray lubed rubber switches like topres, noppoo and silent switch.

[@nathanjamero4421]

do you have to spray all four sides? or jus one?

[@NiftyKeyboards]

no just one, do it at your own risk
