Tray to "Gasket" Mount Custom Keyboard & "Foam" MOD | Tofu 65 UPGRADE (w/ O-Rings & Neoprene)

Today we upgrade my first custom keyboard to have better acoustics and feel with the implementation of o rings and neoprene rubber. It was a pretty simple project, and I'd say worth the return. The sound of a tray mounted keeb cannot compare to one that is suspended over the standoffs by silicone.
**DISCLAIMER: Thanks to some comments, I realized I didn't technically gasket mount the PCB. By screwing in the two middle screws (which I did), the purpose of a gasket mount was somewhat defeated. I've added quote marks around "gasket" in the title to reflect this, so the video's not clickbait. Thank you to those who pointed this out. Regardless, I did feel a slight difference in typing as the mod is in the video, and it does sound different (softer, brighter) than before, which I enjoy.

Great content! Glad to see others are trying out the o ring!

@@Sebatech Will do! I'm sure it sounds great!

[@malibumk6725]

I tried this mod too and it felt really nice to type on, but it totally gave me the opposite type of sound I wanted :) It reallllly brought out the metallic pingy-ness of the Tofu. Oddly, I was able to get the deeper sound profile I wanted by LOOSENING the mounting screws. Sure my PCB is slightly wobbly, but dang does it sound nice. I'm wondering if the O-ring mod will make an acrylic Tofu case sound killer?

I had a lot of success with this mod without having to place the o rings with tweezers. I got some 4mm m2 screws which are perfect for this. Just place the o ring right onto the screw, into the PCB, and add another o ring to the other side. Much less headache, same concept.

Thank you very much!! I am diving deeper and deeper every day. Trust me.

PC components are currently so unavailable thought, and I wanted to check out keyboards as another equally interesting hobby!

[@TheGorque]

I've watched a few guides of this mod, and tried it myself. I have a soldered PCB with no plate at all and i still have inconsistency in sound and feel over the board. But it's definitely an improvement overall in my opinion. Thanks for the guide!

you had me subscribing with that reversed audio impression there lol. awesome content bro, planning to build one with tofu 65 as well but using banana splits this time 💪

[@pineapplej7310]

easy way to locate the standoffs in the case with the neoprene: take a white or silver paint marker and mark the tops of each post, then put the neoprene on. itll leave a perfect circle right where each post is.

[@AnzelLmao]

Hey so regarding the o ring mod; it’s more for exaggerating plate noise characteristics vs case noise and increasing consistency of the sound, mostly because you’re isolating the plate from the case. The feel will change a bit? But not as much. Typically changing the mounting style and plate of the board will be the biggest things you can do to change keyboard feel, but of course that’s pretty hard to do with tofu. But damn your videos are really good, once again! Glad to see you working on custom keeb content, and I look forward to what comes next!

[@Sebatech]

Hey thanks for the tip Anzel. I actually realized that I did the O-Ring mod in a way such that I didn't actually gasket mount the PCB; I screwed in the two middle standoffs, so there is no gasket-esque suspension. I've added quotes to "gasket" in the title to reflect this... And thanks for the compliment, always means a lot :). I'm working to do some product reviews in the near future (likely in the coming uploads), so look out for those

[@93ksj]

[@nikopic]

One tip for O-Ring tray mounts that i don't see people doing is simply making the pcb rest on top of the o-rings, without any screws. To do this, you'll need to stack 2 o rings on top of the 4 mounting points(i use a tiny amount of blu tac to keep the orings in place), and slide the pcb into the case. But because we're not using any screws, to keep the PCB in place you'll have to friction fit the pcb into the case with tape/bandaids. I find it to be a slight improvement over the typical screwed in tray-oring mount in terms of bounce and flex.

[@Sebatech]

That's a good idea. Might try that with command strips for the friction fitting...

[@Sebatech]

I may or may not only script the first half xD

[@thedunco]

I believe in order to get the consistency you're looking for you have to do what Keybored said in his video and only use the 4 standoffs in the outside corners and not the middle ones. This will allow the board to flex much more and will make the typing feel and consistency better. The amount of foam/leather/rubber you have in the bottom also might take away from how much the board can flex, so maybe a lighter foam and less of it would improve the flex a little too. Great job though, I love to see that you're responding to feedback

[@Sebatech]

Thanks and yeah. I put some sort a disclaimer about that in the description, but I would've liked to do an updated video on doing it totally correctly. I made something of another attempt in the most recent video about the black Tofu65 build on the channel. Appreciate you man!

[@quack6828]

those were the weirdest scissors I've seen, but great video man :DD

[@Sebatech]

Lmao thanks dude

[@johnyjoe2k]

Instead of using that rubber foam, try casting silicone into your case. You will need a level to get it perfect though, since the PCB is held at an angle. For the "o-ring" mod, try putting the o-rings on the actual case stand-offs. I put about 3x 2.5mm diameter o-rings on the stands, since when you screw the PCB back in, if you put just 1x o-ring, it will be squished and pushed around the stand-offs. Watch, disassemble your board after screwing it in like this and I bet one or more of your o-rings is now wrapped around one of your stand-offs, causing that inconsistency you mentioned. When you put 3 or more o-rings, they all compress against each other and prevent the PCB from touching the stand-offs again since their combined height is slightly more than the stand-offs. For the spacebars, you can do something similar and o-ring the stem holes where it connects to your switch and stabilizers. I typically o-ring all my tray mount spacebars and it makes them sound like I am using a silent switch.

[@Sebatech]

Thanks for the detailed description! I'll look into doing all of this. Would I not need a longer M.2-5 screw to mound the PCB with the added height of the o-rings stacked?

[@johnyjoe2k]

@@Sebatech No because the extra height is only about 1-2mm. Very small. It depends on how thick your o-rings are. The 3 I mentioned was what worked for me, but then again mine are slightly different from yours. Just use enough so that the very top most o-ring is slightly higher than the stand offs.

[@sunflwr3721]

Great board, unfortunatly incosistant sound is just a part of a keyboard and while it can be reduced cannot be eliminated. Also different plate materials (such as FR4) can give your board more flex as well as a deeper sound than brass

[@Sebatech]

I am going to try a different plate soon, thank you for the advice

Hey! I know I’m like a year late but usually creams are better without films since their housings are already so tight. In fact, creams sometimes get worse because of films.

maybe next time try to drill down the two stand offs that are not needed. For me I have a Tofu 60 and I only use two stand offs,(one on each side) and the rest have o rings on them. To keep the o rings on the stand offs I just added a small amount of glue to the stand offs to keep them there. Also great vid btw keep up the good work!

[@Sebatech]

Thanks for the compliment and tip! I did consider adding a little glue, but I didn't end up having any trouble screwing the PCB back without glue. Also yes, I realized after a couple comments that I didn't really gasket mount, because I screwed the two middle screws in. I've changed the title to reflect this so it's not clickbait :)

[@sxloar1597]

Your so good at making good videos lol

[@Sebatech]

Thanks bro it's hard work!

[@--.--]

I thought about this, but then I realized that these screws still connect pcb and the case, so the sound will be inconsistent anyway. You need something like rubber screws

[@Sebatech]

That's a good idea. They would be too thin, though, unless the standoffs were a much wider screw spec

[@Feesh6]

I’d recommend using poron foam it’s a lot thinner and softer while having just as much if not more dampening plus it’s easier to work with you just need an xacto knife

[@Sebatech]

Thanks for the suggestion, might get some for another video

[@handsomenapkin]

I love ur editing style I’m looking to build my own keyboard. Do u need to solder ur switches? And what pcbs and case are good?

[@Sebatech]

To be honest, I couldn't make any totally sound suggestions without testing the products myself. Gasket mounted cases tend to have more consistent presses, from what I've heard/read/watched. My keyboard is hot swappable, meaning I don't have to solder. PCBs aren't necessarily good or bad, but there are ones that are hot swap and ones that aren't. I would recommend a hot swap for your first build. I'm gonna be doing a budget starter build video very soon, which may give you some ideas!

Did you screw in the middle two standoffs? You're not supposed to, but I thought you were supposed to while filming the video. The mod is much more noticeable during typing when only the four outermost standoffs are used. Hope this helps!

The inconsistency may be because of your lubing technique and screwing in the unnecessary middle stand offs. Great board though!

The inconsistency is from inconsistent spacing using the screws to mount the PCB. It may sound similar, but I can't see how this method would give the same feeling as a gasket mount. I'm actually wondering if you removed the O-Rings would sound the same because of the neoprene and cause the keys to be more consistent without losing the sound mod.
