Nice keycaps. Switches sound awful imho

Quantum computing, artificial intelligence, space telescopes … and we still have to cut and wrap Scotch tape around every damn switch.

what did he type

Only O-rings were useful with my Red switches. Lubing and taping wasn't worth it, didn't change the feel at all and sound difference was minimal

Fun fact: these are actually used in gutar hero controllers

Have you tested pink choc?

man i taped and lubed purps love the silence and downpress feel but they feel almost stuck for a second on the come up which is annoying af

I was looking for a way to reduce the travel of my choc switches and got pointed at this video but putting the orings there doesn't reduce travel distance at all it just makes the keycap sit higher up. It's like jumping into a hole and then jumping into the same hole wearing a top hat and claiming that the hole is shallower because the top of your hat is higher lol.

Thanks for the video, there is barely any choc switch videos out here. Im well versed with MX style switch modding and lubing, but am trying some chocV1s in a little macropad. I might build a lily58 wireless w/ chocs. Linear reds feel nice enough stock, but these sunset tactiles feel they need some lube, i got browns too but they are barely tactile, would not recommend. thanks again

Taped, ringed and lubed sounds amazing...thanks for putting this together.

1:06 DO NOT DO THIS. At least with 40A rings, this WILL cause stress damage to the plastic, if not completely break it off.

Thank you so much! I spent a day following exactly what you did! The result is fantastic that I can use my chocofi at work now! You just made my day. Thank you again!

Not gonna lie I was quite skeptical on how well the tape mode works, but today I tried it on few of my switches and it's a night and day difference. Thanks for the amazing video!

whered you get the transparent caps?

Which switch requires the most tactile force?

Thanks for this video! It helped a lot! :D

Damn those things are aggressive lmao

I think with a throw THAT short I'd have to go for the white clicky, where normally I'm a silver guy... 45gram linear with .5mm reduced throw and early activation...

Great video! At the beginning you say that these techniques won't work on tactile switches. Do you mean they won't work on tactile chocs, or were you referring to tactile MX?

what is the keyboard ??

What is the name of that keyboard?

This is great! The difference is really well demonstrated and I now get why people swear by it. Had a question about clicky switches though. Would it the improvements be negligible or would it still be worth the time and effort? I didn't quite hear a diff between your two robins so wasn't sure if those were both unmodded or one was.

比較動画少ないので助かります！

What TKL keyboards are these compatible with? I can't seem to find any and am interested in the reds

Well they are still unusable in my office but I would use them at home. I recently viewed a video where another youtuber said that some new kailh silent switches had 2 holes at the bottom and that made them make less noise. He even modded switches by putting 2 holes at the same position and it did make a huge difference even without the lube. I have never had a choc in my hands but still wonder if that would be worth trying on chocs.

just tested them today, and I'm pretty disappointed. the bump for the tactiles is barely noticeable, the clickies feel almost linear due to their click design, and the linears rattle a lot when they're not pressed, although that could be a problem with my switches from the tester. My biggest issue is that these switches are also super easy to break. You need to be super careful when removing the upper housing, as the clasps are super thin and have a thin weak spot right at their joint with the rest of the upper housing, meaning taking them apart if you want to lube them will result in a lot of broken switches. I honestly think that if you need low profile linears, go with low profile cherry reds or speeds. I haven't tested low profile keychrons yet, but im looking forward to doing so when my package arrives.

so that was the goal of MKULTRA project all along

the tape mod litteraly makes me want to jump of a bridge, thank you for your expertise now i atleast know how i should do it.

Has anyone tried this with Teflon tape, and no lube, since Teflon tape is kinda already "lubricated"?

anyone know someone that will make custom choc low profile custom/themed/pudding keycaps? ive been looking forever to customize my g815 keyboard and all i get is unlabeled keys or the basic logitech keys

A

Black&white = Unmodded Orange = Tape Red = Tape&Orings Yellow = Orings Purple = Tape&Orings&Lube Black = Tape&Orthodontix&Lube

Speak dammit!

I LOVE YOU MY PARASOCIAL BOYFRIEND

you can also mention names of switch

How far are MCUs from your palm ? Have they ever intervene typing, especially when you're trying to reach the top row ?

My right ear is happy.

Holy moly, this is quite a coincidence. I literally made a decision a week ago to finally take the plunge and make a keyboard myself and I ordered the Microdox Bud kit. I was surfing RUclips to find the best mods for my Kailh switches and I found this video on the actual keyboard that I am planning on building! Questions: Have you tried any of the other sound-changing mods like the tape mod on the back of the PCB or the foam mod between the pcb and top plate? I'm going for minimal noise, low frenquency (thoccy) clicks.

wow that quiets them down way more than I was expecting. I might have to do this if I ever build a keeb for office work

Firmware?

I'm using red choc switches (45g). Does 205g0 do the work?

my right ear enjoyed this video

Thanks for the informative content. How long does the tape mod last?

Yup, I’m liking this!

Where to buy it please thank you?

what are the sizes of the rings?

1.5mm rings?

As a bit of advice (after having watched this awesome video and successfully tape modded my new board) - Don't bend the tabs on the switch too much, they're easy to break and if you bend them too much they won't go back in to their correct position. Just a light wiggle till you hear it click - Cut a long piece of tape (like 20cm long) and slice it in to slim strips, then cut along the tape again to make the long strips lots of smaller strips (like 5cm strips). This will dramatically shorten the amount of time it takes to cut tape - Apply the tape using flat head tweezers. This way you can tighten the tape at the housing using the tweezers which is much closer than fingers alone - When you've taped all your housings, use a hair dryer on a light heat setting and lightly warm the tape around the housing. This will help the tape adhere to the plastic. Don't heat the housing too much though as the plastic is soft and can melt quite easily
