    Great upgrade video. I just upgraded a RK61 myself. I think it's one of the best ones to upgrade as a beginner because the price is low. I love the honey milk keycaps. XDA profile looks nice!

    • @gellieayes
      @gellieayes  Před 2 lety

      yes! i believe that the rk61 really is beginner mod friendly and thanks so much for the support!

    Omg, thanks the help so much! I want to mod my non-hot swappable keyboard, and this helped me a lot! I have only 1 question: what is the difference between grease and lube for keyboard?

    • @gellieayes
      @gellieayes  Před 2 lety +2

      i'm glad i was able to help !! from what i know, grease is thicker than (oil) lube . It's usually used to lubricate keyboard stabilizers rather than the switches. Since there are different grease and oil lubricants with different thicknesses, i suggest researching for what suits your taste best.

    I have seen people lube switches in place before, but nothing could have prepared me for your technique. 🤣 Thanks for the video!

  • @weeklyfunfactsyt
    @weeklyfunfactsyt Před měsícem

    iam here because i just bought new switches for my rk61 thinking it is hot swappable... it turns out that i bought the old one which is the non hotswappable variant, hopefully iam not the only one

  • @vandavispapa2912
    @vandavispapa2912 Před 7 měsíci

    Your lube technique does affect the tactility of your brown switch? how was the feel? Kinda thought you accidently lubed the stem legs that reduce the tactility

      Could've been easy if it was a hotswappable, if you have a hotswappable you can just take it out and plug it in again. You have to desolder the thing to get it out and solder it back in

      The old version of the RK61, which is the one I have, isn't hot-swappable so you can't take out the switches without desoldering. But, I heard the new version is hot-swappable so it is possible to the switches out of the board.
