  • It's time for another keyboard challenge, but this time we can only upgrade our keyboards with our own randomized budget. It's about to get interesting...
    Watch me upgrade a keyboard with only $20: • I only had $20 to upgr...
    Or this one with only $30: • I ONLY had $30 to upgr...

    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).

      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…

  • @kirakiramagic
    @kirakiramagic Před 2 lety +56

    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.

    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.

    Very cool colab/group challenge, well done bringing everyone in. And it just goes to show more money not always wins everything. Also its always great to see different approaches on the same subject. Well done. Would like to see a challenge where there is a common goal like: make most thocky, or most silent, or most clickies, or most bouncy typing, or like keybored to do a plate mount conversion, and as usual modding budget under 80usd

    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)

    @ShanyeSoT Před 2 lety +10

    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.

    Fun fact for you, with tiny flathead screw drivers you can open up switches by sticking up the clips on the side to which i did before owning a switch opener its simple and effective.
