I just got one to play around with as the Max kit is only $80 on Amazon right now; thanks so much for the video! The ABS caps and the switches have to go imo, but I appreciate seeing/hearing about what to do inside. I might even get Cerakey ceramic keycaps but have no clue what to get for the switches.

Fancy Alice 66 link?

You got it for free, you might felt it was not a big deal to put tape on the whole PCB. I purchased mine with the displaypad = almost 500$ (+ my Kailh navy blues). The detachable numpad is unreliable when not connected via the USB-C cable (the physical connection is garbage, you can't lift the keyboard without folding in 2 parts) The usb cable provided is extremely thick too but you can change it. Software will seem cool unless you already used Steel Series GG engine.

I know this is a really old video, but if I got the keyboard and did this mod, do you reckon I would be okay just installing pre-lubed switches with the tape mod for a good "thocc"? I've been wanting to upgrade my keyboard experience to something more satisfying, but a lot of the custom keyboards I hear about from the enthusiast community really just aren't my style. On the other hand, the Mountain to me fits that really slick aesthetic while still having modding capabilities, and is on sale so a plus ofc lol

instead of lubing all those switches, couldnt i just swap em out for prelubed?

Video is simple, short, and to the point. Thank you

Sound like akko cream yellow pro

Hi! This is such a great video! I was wondering if you knew about the Akko Matcha Green V3’s having interference with cherry profile! Thanks!

I really like that keyboard layout, but honestly really do not like the look of the badge on any of the Ikki68's I've seen.

Pe foam or tape mod?

Getting used to it was almost instant for me. Also, the UK ISO version had plate foam besides the tape mod.

Rip

ktt rose vs ktt strawberry? Does ktt strawberry worth the price over ktt rose, at where I am living, strawberry is 2x price over rose.

Great vid!

You all have way too much time on your hands if this is your concern..seriously.

nice keyboard

What's wrong with this abomination is that they went through the effort to split and tilt the two sides for ergonomics, but then they staggered the left side in the wrong direction. The rows are staggered correctly for the right hand, but wrong for the left. Meaning they shouldn't have bothered to split it in the first place, because typing on it is now really awkward unless you are some kind of "hunchback from notre dame".

keycaps on the red keyboard?

North face IS still an issue but it is complicated. Switches using more modern mouldings might have been tweaked to minimise the issue and also more modern caps have been slightly tweaked to solve. The issue is that you are not always sure the switch/cap combo you have will work fine until you try. By the time you find out you have already dropped the cash so it is too late. So it is still best to err on not using cherry North unless you KNOW that combo is not an issue for your parts or you have money to burn :)

Great video brother, i'm thinking of doing this mod but i'm not sure if I should take the foam out like you did, does it make that much of a difference?

Rip!

hope you'll make a comeback soon!

How did you manage to fit films on kailh style housings?

That xxl mousepad looks so cool. Where'd you find it?

Hi, very good video, do you recommend this Epomaker EP75 or the TH80 Pro? Thanks

Yo, that edit was amazing

damn we basic af we have the same exact keyboard(s) and I have the desk mat too

I bought a keyboard and there are KTT Pink. I looked for a review on them, but did not find it, tell me KTT Pink This KTT Rose?

For folks going 50% screw tightness, I'd recommend using Loctite 222 threadlocker. This will help retain the torsion applied to the screws

Did the tape mod to help with the acoustics, will likely redo the foam as I'm still getting a very noticeable case ping sound. Thanks for the video, it's great inspiration for mods to an already great board IMO.

Can I put it on south facing switch to a north facing keyboard?

SURJOHNNN

Got this one with yellow gaterons, are budgerigar better?

Hi!! Just a quick question, I believe the EP75 has a north-facing PCB, right? Does it have any interference with cherry profile keycaps when you did the second sound test? I'm still debating whether to get the barebones of the TH80 or the fully built EP75 and mod it to my liking. Hoping to get an answer to this question. Love the review btw.

Hi sir may I ask how did you clean the factory lube from your stabs? Did you just wipe it of. Also did you apply just lube on the switches or did you clean them first?

The software is actually fantastic. There are MANY extra macro and RGB control functions that are not bound by default for some insane reason, it adds a lot of extra features to the board that they could have advertised.... The ability to shift toggle AND hard toggle through 3 fully customizable layers (Base + FN + FN1). 2 custom RGB presets that you can reprogram on the fly without software just by tapping each key to cycle through the rainbow. It has keyboard lock with LED indicator so you can do typing tests without pressing all sorts of random buttons on your system. You can add a second color behind almost all of the RGB animations on BOTH the main keys and the side light independently (blue sparkles over red background, rainbow lines over cyan background, etc) all without software after binding the various commands for it into the FN layer. The macro and key combo binding support in general is great. It doesn't have as many layers and tap commands like real QMK has, but for most people it will do the job even for somewhat complex setups. I got the budgerigar switch version and they're amazing, but not for everyone as they are VERY tactile and have quite heavy springs. Great for gaming IMO because the heavy springs force you back up above the bump to reset so quickly and you can feel every input, but it's a little strenuous for typing, but very precise so you can be very aware of mistakes, and very loud. TTC Bluish Whites are essentially identical in feel but with a silent top and bottom making them insanely quiet despite being super tactile. I love the board overall, it looks great minus the printed on text for the status lights that I have the urge to scrub off... I'm not sure about the sound though, I tried tape mod it made the loud switches INSANELY loud and poppey, like playing back the iphone keyboard sounds through a speaker, it was way too distracting. In general the board tends to rumble a bit particularly from the space bar, and the bottom out feel and sound is so firm, I wish it had a softer plate and softer mounting. The mount isn't screw in at all, the plate just rests flat on top of the pegs in the bottom case, and it would be possible to maybe put something on top of those pegs or remove them entirely, if not for the top half of the case which needs pretty exact alignment to fit well against the plate, and also the USB C port is directly on the PCB so if it were to move at all in the case it would likely break (you'd have to drill out a big hole in the back in all 3 layers of the case to avoid that and give it room to move). Also I did notice an usually low polling rate over USB C, lower than bluetooth/2.4ghz which is the opposite of what is normally expected, AND lower than even some $20 hotswap boards I have. It's not unusably slow, I've been able to game fine with it and it doesn't really feel delayed or anything, but it might genuinely be a problem in OSU or other rhythm games. Considering the cost of the switches and the included caps, the insane 10,000mAh battery, and quality of the firmware/software, I don't think it's a bad deal at all... But I am looking for other options, something with a more premium sound and more easily moddable/configurable in terms of plate mount/stiffness.

Which one do you think is better, ktt strawberry or ktt rose?

Do you think you can get ahold of the Cool Killer CK98 and review it? I'm obsessed with that keyboard at the moment or any of the cool killer keyboards😅

Which one is more poppy akko rose reds or ktt rose?

I'm absolutely obsessed with this keyboard and plan to buy it when I can. My only question is, is it difficult to see the letters when the RGB lights are flashing bright or can you still make them out normally? Also what do you use to clean off the thumb prints?

is using the foam that comes w/ the keyboard completely fine or do i have to buy new foam?

This is such a practical and useful build guide! Thank you for not taking anything for granted and sharing thoughts behind each step taken. Perfect video!

this video is so cool haha I love it

do you have a list of switches that for sure don't have interference? I cant find one anywhere with more than a few and most of keycaps are cherry and both my boards are north facing :(

do you prefer ktt rose (this) or ktt mint?

Ymdk has cherry profile keycaps that are allegedly made for use with north facing rgb. Will these keycaps run into interference if used on a north facing rgb?

Ijust got one of these for 50% off, which makes it a good deal again imo. Trying this mod as I'm typing!

Can you disconnect the batteries on this board and still have it work like normal? Just out of curiosity

Great video! I’ve never made one either so this is really helpful as well

I love this type of videos and please make a video about the lubing techniques
