[@lazyboy9310]

Subbing thanks to this video. I have the "same" keyboard as the one in this video, and seeing how easy and relative cheap it can be to modded to sound like a good, decent one is honestly very inspiring. Makes me want to try it after learning more about keyboards, tools everything around it

[@umop3plsdn]

so did you upgrade?!

[@The_Banana00]

Pro tip: If you have 5 pin switches and you want them to fit in a 3 socket pcb just clip the 2 plastic legs off the switch

[@Rockett.]

Really surprised she didnt do that in the video!

[@vicenarycave]

@@Rockett.they were outemu hotswap sockets, the pins would most likely not fit in the sockets

[@J7T800]

@@vicenarycave They can technically fit. It just requires a LOT of filing and patience. You'll also ruin your chances of selling the switch at any cost.

Ty for this- super helpful. Just an FYI in case it was missed; The "custom cables we use" link in your description isn't hyperlinked all the way. Keep up the good work :D

[@BetoK1ng]

The funny thing about this video for me is that I went to the UK for 3 months, and I bought this keyboard thinking I would throw it away when I'm done working overseas. To my surprise, I actually loved this small keyboard 😂 I had a small area to work, and this keyboard saved my butt and never once failed me. I didn't have the heart to throw it away, so I made space to bring it back home with me, I still use it when needed. I didn't know I could further customize this keyboard, and this video is giving me ideas

[@hernandezlilis20]

I bought a 20 dollar keyboard and did some mods. Tape and a plastic/ rubber thing that I have in my kitchen cabinets and just bought some switches (creamy yellow) it sounds amazing. I might buy key caps.

[@thewheels1422]

you should order some switch pads just little foam pads that go under the switch. i have a budget keyboard with cream yellows and put the switch pads in them and it made a noticeable change it sounds good!

[@hernandezlilis20]

[@Lycronite]

you dont have key caps on a keyboard-(i know its swappin em)

[@saraphinahassan7776]

Outemu sockets are the death of me. So I bought a board to mod for the first time and I bought some gateron gpro yellows and was shocked when I realized that the pins were too wide. Cut to a few days later, a LOT of trimming and I got them to fit. Yay! I actually was looking at wisteria switches, and was planning to trim off the extra legs to fit my 3pin

"what the heck is a purple switch" MageGee "When you want blue and red at the same time"

0:54 So apparently a purple switch is like brown, but lighter. Standard about 40 G instead of 55 G. That's purple for you.

How do you keep the kinetic sand in place? I mean I know it stays, but still? maybe press and seal across the base?

I have a 68% keyboard and just bought a set of Akko Sakura (45) switches just to try, if I like it I will buy a second set.

[@invertthelab6532]

@@EuPedroGameiro yea, they are 3 pins but mostly the problem is from the keyboard mounting that smaller than the other switches pins so you can't use like Cherry switches on outemu mounting without mod it

@@invertthelab6532 so as you said you need to cut 2 pins right?

[@invertthelab6532]

@@EuPedroGameiro yea, the copper pins so it will sit right on the outemu socket, just cut half height of the pins, you can use nail clipper. if you are not sure the right length, just leave about 1,5 mm or like tha, test it by placing it on the socket, adjust it until it sit right and when you press the switch it registered right. just be careful. coz if you fail you need to throw it into the bin. no step back. if you are not sure just using another outemu switch that may meet your favor

What is the best macOS wireless hot-swappable 75% keyboard under $120?

[@justinlowery6017]

There may not be a “best,” but subjectively I’d go with a Keychron K3 with Gateron Red Switches on the hot swap PCB and some Krytox 205-G to lube them all with. Two layers of masking tape on the back of the PCB, bandaid mod the stabilizers, rubber o-rings under the key caps, and some Eva foam and poly fill for sound and vibration dampening in the bottom of the case. Replace keycaps last if you can afford it with some double-shot PBTs. Should feel like butter and be super solid and thocky. I did this with a K6 and it came out great.
