I cut up acoustic foam and put it in there then covered that with a thin piece of foam I got in the keyboard box. It really helped turn the cheap keyboard case into a really good sound keyboard

[@thirtyacres7504]

Which acoustic foam did you use?

[@Sketches_by_abhi]

Does it sounds like mechanical ??

[@Big-Chungus21]

The keyboard sounds like perry the platypus after you put the tape on, and not in a bad way.

[@poolpans4670]

I was halfway through my tape mod when I heard this video’s before and after and I knew I had to keep going

[@syrupsweater]

Did not expect that to be so effective

[@bjarnit]

nice thanks for a 20 second tutorial unlike the 3 min tutorials

[@devonramos9202]

Never thought I would hear violet give me advice on keyboards, but it was actually pretty chill.

[@wycko0]

i put foam into case of my keyboard and i also did tape mod and now my blue switches sound amazing its not as anoying and as clicky as it was

[@Bluz2601]

Thanks for the instructions now I can tape mod my razer green clicky switch keyboard

[@ToshiroCR7]

Nice express tutorial!! I will do this with my K2 !!

[@markerwinargenti]

Hey in theory I think gaffers tape would be even better. Its basically woven material with a non permanent or destructive glue base. Its thinker and made of fibers plus.the glue is rubber like. Might only.need.one coat and might sound even better.

[@user-fb2lx9et9v]

I had a redragon k552. I lubed KTT Kang whites and put them in, lubed the stabs and did tape mod. It legit sounded so thocky and all the upgrades only costed me $15

[@Albie_yt]

i added 6 layers of tape on the pcb and this foam sought of stuff with tape over that and now my keyboard sounds like it came straight from heaven (i used masking tape if u were wondering)

[@joerenfredcuevas8198]

i added 7 layera and papers and now it sounds like it came straight from god

[@funsterkeyven]

​@@joerenfredcuevas8198I added 8 layers and now it sounds like it came straight from dog

[@fimy8492]

I love your video they make me happey when even I am sad

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

😁

[@rezadahri564]

one of the easiest and cheapest way to make your keyboard sound good indeed. can you please tell us what's the recommended amount of layers for the tape mod?

[@Icemanz666]

3

[@Video_Fiend]

2-4 is a good amount, 2 being an average amount, 4 being the most you should probably put on. Also, if your keyboard has a battery, you might want use electrical tape to keep from shorting out the circuit.

[@rezadahri564]

@@Video_FiendThanks for the answer! i know this is a very late reply lol. i put 3 layers of tape and it sounded pretty good! made my keyboard feel less hollow. One question though, do we need to regulary replace the tape? if so, how often do we need to replace it?

[@Video_Fiend]

@@rezadahri564 I am glad I could help! Also, you probably shouldn’t have to worry about ever replacing the tape unless it starts to fall off, which is very unlikely if you don’t peel off the tape frequently.

[@Jackzanini11]

I tapemodded my t68se and it sounda pretty good now

[@aghisakuma]

I want to try this on my keyboard

[@truckerdudethe23rd11]

Nice sound😊

[@Blashyrkh89]

Def going to do my Q6

[@fntasticHijack]

I used 5 layers with 1mm silicone sheet. The sound mich better

[@atlastheaxo]

Okay, I'm convinced

[@sanadcanmahmoud]

Cricket to Perry The Platypus!

[@YourAveragePerson1]

Can you pleaseeee tell me how to tell if a pcb has a battery I don’t want to burn my house down :(

[@zangtokyo1]

I added double sided tape on mine, they sound very 'thocky'. I have a tecware phantom 87 with outemu reds

[@ginyong4651]

whats double sided?

[@akuma6969]

​@@ginyong4651 I think it is tape that sticks from both sides (not sure)

[@DesertRidgeline]

Has anybody used sound dampening material? The stuff that car audio installers use in vehicles, they line panels with it to avoid rattles and make the sound system in vehicles sound more dense. I went into our local AutoZone store to buy some but they told me they were no longer carrying it. I'm curious how well it would work in a keyboard,

[@JohnnyTheVoiceMan]

Great video going to give this a shot tomorrow!

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

thanks! let me know how it goes!

[@JohnnyTheVoiceMan]

@@SwitchandClickOfficial it worked out awesome! I'll upload a before and after for you!!

[@typingforall]

Amazing keyboard

[@bounomejp6423]

Hey so is this safe or nah😅??? Cuz in one of your mod videos, you suggested electrical tape cuz you almost started a fire with painters tape.

[@Irmange]

I think it is now safe imma use electrical tape bc i dont want any chances

[@Conraa8]

its a fire hazard if the keyboard has a battery

[@0enex736]

@@Conraa8 Do u mean a rechargeable battery? does the rk61 have a battery bro? cuz im gonna tape it and i dont want to start a fire lmao

[@Conraa8]

@@0enex736 I mean, can you use your keyboard wireless? If you can then It has a battery if you can't it doesn't lmao. But yeah, as far as I know, not using electrical tape while having a rechargeable battery could lead into a short circuit

[@Conraa8]

@@0enex736 basically if your keyboard does NOT have a rechargeable battery you can both use painters tape or electrical tape (better results with painters tape), but if your keyboard DOES have a rechargeable battery you should use electrical tape

[@Vestifyfnbr]

Really good video Betty but I am scared to ruin my GK61 by doing this because i don’t have experience

[@Sylveighty]

for what I can see with modding GK61. The only thing that goes wrong with it is the USB C port falling off because of poor soldering job from the factory. Tape mod's relatively safe as long as you use weak adhesive tapes like masking tape

[@flyingwolf6]

​@@Sylveighty But there aren't any long time report about tape mod since it is not that old. I decided against it. Even masking tapes have a time period where they will start to leave residue.

[@Sylveighty]

@@flyingwolf6 tl;dr use low tack/weak adhesive rubber tape. Replace old tape with a new one ever so often if you're that worried. if you're that paranoid you can just replace the tape ever so often, since masking/painter's tape is easy to remove anyway. adhesive residue is only a problem if it's strong enough to rip off components of the pcb (wont really happen unless you use something really strong like duct tape or have a board with bad soldering). As far as I can tell the only real dangers happen when using stickier tapes which you don't really need and using vinyl based tapes which can conduct electricity and cause static,

[@twistednemo]

​@@Sylveighty Oh, so it's a known issue? I retired my GK61 because the USB-C connection became really unstable. Don't have the patience to replace the port.

[@brycehudgins5064]

the eq on the before and after was obviously tampered with

[@stroeh3]

What kind of kcrewdriver

[@Ryzen31400K]

Which one is better, tape mod or foam mod or both?

[@EgotisticDuck]

Most people would say both, however, you should experiment with both, with just tape, and with just foam and see which one YOU prefer, sound is subjective.

[@hectorreynoso1920]

My keyboard doesn’t have any screws in the back what do I do!

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

Thanks

[@TheYoungOne-iv9yv]

I just unscrewed my bottom case and added the tape directly to the underside of the pcb. Is that bad? 😅

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

That works great! Means your case just gives you easy access to your PCB

@SwitchandClickOfficial thank you for answer me

[@mousesack5709]

Can you please recommend some great mechanical keyboard that sounds great out of the box for India, Currently student so hardly have any money and Here mechanical keyboard are expensive due to imports. Redragon is the only company seems affordable here.

[@modestmouse6]

redragon are fun keyboards to mod and they're "okay" quality, not totally junk! i bought and lubed some akko creamy yellows for my k552, and added some foam to fill out the case under the pcb + tape mod, it sounds quite good :)

[@Hydroxzrt]

My keyboard broke cuz of foam mod, so is it gonna break if i do tape mod?

[@zarpela]

probably you used a non eletric resista t foam, if you use a eletric resistant fosm most likely its gonna be alright

Do not do the tape mod on a tray mount with cheap plastic it will break your standoffs.

can you tell if normal duct tape is ok? 🤣🤣

[@thorbik9]

What is the Name of the case

[@bigbunzaroon4268]

Rip man basically got left on read

[@brockpiano]

the case is part of the Keychron V2 keyboard, you can get it pre-assembled or get a “barebones” version that comes with everything but the switches and keycaps

[@W4R7321]

Is there any risk of damaging my keyboard if I want to do that?

[@chknman3877]

i am not an expert but if the glue in the tape is conductive or if you accidentally touch it while you have static electricity you can fry the pcb but these things will almost never happen

[@Sketches_by_abhi]

Will it work on membrane?

[@Sketches_by_abhi]

it's been 2 months but no one replied :")
