Top 5 Ways To Make Your Keyboard THOCK (On A Budget)

Howdy hey, I made the music for the title bits check it out here: open.spotify.com/track/69zNr5WN9v8voqHyGJp3qe?si=9…

Hipyo, I want to thank you for getting me into the keyboard building! It’s such a great experience and it’s even better when you make it for someone else, I hope you keep doing what you like most. I’ll follow along no matter what!!

I was a bit zoned out doing some CAD work, but I did hear silver bullet. You wouldn't believe how expensive that was to fill my keyboard with silver bullets, and I wouldn't say the sound is improved at all. I may need to watch the video again and pay attention this time.

I did my first mod recently with my Blackwidow v2, witch consisted in put cotton under the keycaps. I made a huge diference for almost no money. Thnks by the inspiration, btw ^^

No need premieres dude just drop it , I wanna watch NOW

Been watching your videos for awhile now, just ordered all the goodies to build my first board and definitely using the tape mod(electric since it has batteries) and lubing the switches. Thanks for the awesome videos, love the channel

My boyfriend is really into making keyboards so I’m glad I found you. Going to try building one for each of us! Thanks Hipyo, glad to have found you! ❤

With the automotive dampener, it also makes a noticeable difference to roll it down as well. Those rectangles that are bulging up, yeah those have to be rolled down so that they're fairly flat. I am a big fan of automotive dampener too, but these materials tend to reduce sound frequencies across the board, lows, highs, everything. I know some people prefer to only dampen lower frequencies and some like to dampen higher frequencies sounds, it all depends on the board they have and all the materials used.

This is brilliant! Thank you for the very informative at the same time very casual and laid back content.

Hey Hipyo, easy thing for the painters tape mod is make it less sticky. lightly press the tape on your shirt (clean preferably) and it will lessen the adhesive. helps a ton and makes the tape not as sticky. just fyi

I appreciate all the help on the video. I do plan on using this mod on my NJ80 and hopefully my Zoom75 but according to Tempest's article he says this: What Kind of Tape is Suitable For the Mod? To ensure that you would buy suitable and keyboard-safe tape for tape modding, you must keep in mind these two important things: Buy tape that is not too adhesive or sticky or designed to be easily removed. Examples of less adhesive and less sticky tapes are masking, washi, or painter’s tapes; if you ever decide to remove the tape behind your PCB, it will not damage your board. Sticky tapes such as duct tape and box tape tend to ruin your PCB by pulling out conduits from your keyboard when removed. Additionally, super adhesive tapes leave sticky residues that may also ruin your board. !!!!!Another thing to remember is that you should buy tape that is not conducive. Conductive tapes, such as electrical tape, can cause short circuits, damaging your PCB. This is especially true if your keyboard comes with a battery. The tape can potentially serve as insulation to the board’s battery, thus harming your PCB.!!!!!! Tape that you can buy online or at local stores is sufficient for the mod. However, to guarantee that you will not damage your PCB in the process of modding, avoid purchasing adhesive and conductive tapes. Instead, opt for tapes that you can remove easily. I'm sorry, but I just had to make sure. Still great advice!!

@HipyoTech Thanks for the amazing content. I am just about to get into this world of mech Keyboards and have been learning a lot from your channel. The humorous tone of the content is spot on. Keep it up!

Congrats on 500K homie!!!

PERFECT timing for this video. This community has converted me to try building my own keyboard :) Thank you Hipyo !

There needs to be videos on how to make a keyboard as silent as possible. Noisy keyboards annoy me, but there is something nice about feeling the button thunk when it's pressed.

Thanks so much for your channel, Hippyo! I can't dive full into the hobby, but I have to type a lot, and was inspired by your channel to dive in (somewhat). I got the Magegee MX Box (with red switches) for cheap to try out mechanical keyboards, and I love it, simple as it is. Think you could take a crack at modding one of those for us super low-enders? Thanks for sharing what you love!

Thanks for all the info! I really enjoy your casual and entertaining hosting style!

Love this video and your channel, thanks for your time/content/good energy 😊

Nice video, and I like the RuneScape music in background too lol ;)

I'm so glad I found this video. I now know that I'm not as ill as I thought. I was for buying PBT key caps and getting some of those rubber washer things as well for my ancient SS 7G. People at work thought I was going way over the score, but now that I know that people dismantle switches to lube them with tiny brushes I feel much better about myself.
