I love how chaotic budget modding can get. Putting Elmers glue in keycaps, throwing things in a bag of oil, emptying a vending machine into the base, just taping stabs and praying. It's great

[@jammerware]

I'm new to keyboard modding and am doing my obligatory youtube rabbithole binge. This was the most insanely entertaining video of the three million I've watched in the last 4 days. HILARIOUS. Challenge idea: you each buy one set/copy of the parts you need to mod a keyboard (e.g. switches, caps, lube, tools, tape or some general category for case mods, etc.). They all go into a pool, and you each randomly draw one from each category and have to build with what you draw.

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

thank you! that sounds cool

[@guycxz]

Something I would love to see is a everyone mods the same cheap keyboard with unlimited budget, but you have to use all of the original parts. Modify the plate, the case, keycaps, the switches even(I turned some Outemu blues into very scratchy linears that actuate on bottom-out, but you guys can probably do better).

[@ffwast]

As someone with a replacement for my Outemu blue keyboard in the mail I have to say you're some kind of mad scientist.

[@danahackley]

[@dodoheadofCentury]

Nice. I am doing something similar to my board right now. I have a keycool kc84 (that I bought in 2018 or something). I am changing the switches to gateron yellow cream pros and modding everything else. Going to put neoprene in the case and probably going to put some electrical tape on the pcb. For some reason I feel like electrical tape would sound better than blue but I am not an expert. I just feel that way for some reason idk. I think I like the look better lol…

[@ShanyeSoT]

I can understand and respect the caution for causing fires with battery keyboards, but foam pressing against Li-Ion batteries doesn't cause them to combust. In fact, many mid-tier keyboards with batteries come with a thin layer of foam in them, laying over the battery. This would only happen if the battery was built faulty or you somehow puncture the battery. The lithium reacts with water in the air which causes it to combust.

I'd love some kind of challenge where everyone upgrades a mainstream gaming keyboard (Razer, Corsair, Redragon etc) randomized -and upgrade that's capped on their base price or something lol- Edit: Replies suggested better limitations! A limitation of 100$ *including* the keyboard seems better; that way the brand and price of the keyboard one choose will heavily affect the remain of modding cost (i.e. Do you buy a $50 RedDragon and spend $50 upgrading it? Or a $80 Huntsman Mini and spend $20 upgrading it?; as what Aaron Morrow suggested)

[@ChrisAce117]

Do razer since I have one and I hate it, blackwidow elite/full-size/orange switches

It should be everybody with the same budget but the keyboard is part of the budget then.

[@nochnoy13]

Used parts only challenge. Could limit bundling and require individual purchases. Shipping would be a pain but I think it would be cool to show what could be done reusing parts of other projects.

[@kirakiramagic]

Challenge idea: Build a budget split keyboard. I feel like split keyboards would really introduce different layouts and creation factors that would make the video really interesting. Maybe everyone gets a different type of split keyboard to build, or they have to mix and match the left and right sides of different pcb sets.

[@cwmillerrr1]

i love that you accidently discovered that electric tape is better for modding while thinking about how to prevent fires

[@SimGunther]

Everyone's so focused on the sound and look of these keebs, but I've never seen anyone try to make literally "the most productive keyboard" ever. Trying to speed run a bunch of unfamiliar tasks (assuming everyone uses the same software) would be a hilarious and fantastic video!
