This Keyboard is UNDER $40! - IROK FE87 Modding & Review

[@luojunchu7996]

Fun fact: irok's Chinese name is 艾石头 (ai shi tou). The "rok" in the logo is actually designed to resemble the Chinese characters "石头", which means "rock".

[@stormtrooperman5621]

Great to know

[@afrofantom6631]

thats actually pretty cool thanks for sharing

[@Magnum69]

Damn this looks really solid! It has a full-size version as well for not that much more (FE104) and it looks exactly like what I want, I'll come back to this video when I have it! cheapest option is letting it come from the US to europe instead of local amazon LOL so it'll take a bit

[@paigeish]

@magnum I have the FE104 and it is wonderful! However I’d be careful with whatever tool you use to switch out key caps because it scratches very easily. Mine already has scratches from my metal keycap puller.

[@Magnum69]

@@paigeish I've had mine now for a while, absolutely love it! Thanks for the tip, I'll keep it in mind if I ever change the switches

[@paigeish]

@@mogtrader8 The logo is just at the bottom right on the metal skirt, you could definitely paint over it if that’s something you want to do. Hope that answers your question!

[@paigeish]

@@mogtrader8 Personally I like just the white because it’ll match with any kind of keycap set I got. It really depends on the kind of theme you’re going for, I’d say paint on a color that you don’t mind seeing all the time and find keycap sets that you like. I don’t really have any major recommendations since I like mine the way it is. Hope that helps a little!

[@paigeish]

@@mogtrader8 Acrylic paint should work just fine, like in the video just sand over the area then paint it and let it dry and apply more coats if you want

[@tornadokhm1]

This just showed up in my recommened and I wactched the whole thing! Very informative video. Great job dude! Really makes me want to get into modding

[@riverhurtado5145]

I got this keyboad in a discount place for 7 dollars this is a total win

[@sukinelson2153]

Holy crap! That looks amazing! Totally my style. The sound too was great!

[@starplatinumrqm]

Super nice vid, keep it up!

[@HanSoo417]

This looks like its the same keyboard as the CIY x77 which you already did a good video on. Feels odd to leave that out. If it's not, would love to see a comparison of these two. Its not necessarily a knock on the keyboard and its become fairly common for the same keyboards to just be rebranded and sold with different labels but its worth knowing so you can grab whichever is cheaper based on deals.

[@GibbyGamingOfficial]

I got the CIY X77 and this is 100% the same board

[@sentimentalhermit]

Had the same thought basically 30 seconds into the video

[@ethhics]

Yeah, true. In Germany, the Tecware Phantom is not available, but there are two knockoff versions of it on amazon. Granted, they have no hotswap and blue switches, but eh, they are really cheap and you can always desolder the switches

[@velondra4699]

I just bought mine and couldn't find the chord xD thank god I found this.

[@kingwizard37]

Just got mine! It feels really good, like really good for the price, I got the reds and put new keycaps but the stabilizers are buttery smooth, crazy at this price, and it feels pretty heavy too

[@SecndBestBan]

11:18 you actually can if you press alt and escape or fn and escape idk the software opens where you can decide what color you want. I actually own the keyboard and Im really happy with it, so a good option for everybody who is low on budget like me :)

[@fluffturtle]

uh sooo, I have windows on my computer, idk if that changes anything. anyways, that keybind isn't working and the software I downloaded from the website doesn't have an option for changing the color. do you have an idea of what might be wrong? I understand if you don't, I'm just confused

[@SecndBestBan]

@@fluffturtle the keybind (for me idk) is fn + escape, try that a few times, and the software is on mandarine but there are colors in the right down corner, press the one you line and than press the orange button in the very right down corner and make ur sure ur rgb are on, either press fn + f4 or turn the brightness on with fn + f5

[@grizzZlyBear]

I was there Gandalf, 150,000 subscribers ago. Great stuff, brother. With your suggestion i got the Redragon k580 pro. After modding it with padding, now I'm getting Akko matcha greens and ydmk keycaps.

[@timf2533]

Keyboard modding speed run, you should have had a clock running.....🤣 Do you think this thing could be gummy o-ring mounted, might help improve the sound even more. Love to see videos starting up again, big fan of the channel!

[@isayx3]

Jumped into this whole keyboard hobby and picked this up for $35 after watching this video. I've added foam, tape and Akko Jelly black switches. Swapped out the keycaps for XDA ones. This keyboard sounds amazing now.

[@mdt56789]

I was so hyped to get this. Finally a really low Budget board with all the things I was looking for. I was so dissapointed when I found out they ship it internationally ( germany specifically for me ) for 79,41€ ( 86.31 USD at the current exchange rate ). That's more than double the price Americans have to pay and I'm sure IROK can and should do a better job pricing it here.

[@biznachtv7715]

I’m gonna get it for 30$ usd shipped after the code this is so sad

[@Magnum69]

I payed 70 euros to get it to Belgium from Amazon US, and not for the TKL version, for the full-size version, which is of course even more expensive, so idk how you come to 80 euros for the TKL? Unless shipping to Germany is being weird and to Belgium isn't, that seems very odd

[@tonyosborne666]

@@Magnum69 Oh wow - Thanks for the heads-up. I'm in Ireland and Amazon UK wouldn't ship that here, and (like mdt said) it was about eighty euros delivered. I can get the full-size one for less than that from Amazon US. It's a pity it's a US style keyboard though, as I do like the "Large Enter Key" keyboards from the UK.

[@Cpmnk]

Looks like a rebranded ciy. Id rather get the tes84 or gas67

[@Kila4nia]

looks great I dont need any more boards but I think I'll grab one of these and add some Wuque WS browns switches along with some paint as well

[@montygeorge099]

I checked the uk Amazon link and it’s now 70 quid!

[@dragonitefan9678]

probally for uk amazon they are diffrent and they add in shipping costs in sneaky ways if they are shipping rlly far becuase its still 36$ here

[@MrTasYT]

Got it for $20 last night, excited to mod the crap out of it

[@positivevibezuk]

Is this not just a rebranded ciy x77?

[@HanSoo417]

That's exactly what I was thinking

[@nftbandit9645]

Pretty sure this is just a rebranded CIY x77. Many distributers on Amazon simply use the same manufacturer and they just re-brand the board with their logo. This is a 1:1 for sure.

[@jufran9137]

Murdered tha speedrun modding LOL

[@unstoppablebeast5193]

So I got and modded this keyboard for a total cost of 46$, bought keyboard on sale for 19$- g-pro 2.0 yellow gateron switches for 17$ and a cheap keycap set for 10$, did a tape mod, pe foam mod, and a tape mod to the spacebar.

[@theartskee4291]

do you have a review of the Phantom+ Elite? I'm looking for a pre-build that I dont need to really mod. I don't mind tuning the stabilizers and that's about it. that's all the modding i am willing to do haha looking into an 80-96% budget's about 70$
