I Upgraded a $99 Keyboard (For MKBHD)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 фев 2021
- I show you how to upgrade and mod your Keyboard on a Budget and make it much more enjoyable to use. I modded the Keychron K2 V2 Hotswappable Edition for MKBHD.
I tried to keep it as affordable as possible for anyone to be able to replicate the same mods I made. That's why I didn't replace the switches or use any High-End Custom Keyboard parts and used affordable parts for almost everything.
If this video does well I definitely want to build a High-End Keyboard and make the Perfect Custom Mechanical Keyboard for MKBHD. This was a fun project and I had a great time working on it.
UPDATE: The New Custom Keyboard for MKBHD is being made and coming soon... And you might see it in future videos of The Studio Channel. Right now you can see this one being featured in The MKBHD Desk Setup Tour 2021. Btw, I made some changes to the keyboard after the video and sent it to Marques, mainly using better tactile Mode Signal switches and other minor adjustments to make it even better.
Parts List:
► Keyboard: amzn.to/3dysCxY
► Keycaps: I made a mistake here, Cherry Profile Keycaps aren't ideal for keyboards with north-facing switches (LEDs are on top) because there's interference and the keycap will hit the switch housing before bottoming out, making it feel a bit mushy, not a big deal, but just worth mentioning. Avoid them if it's your case. bit.ly/3bvgaMO
► Silicone Mold Kit: amzn.to/3bojrxl
► Switch Films: bit.ly/3pHiqW2
► PCB & Plate Foam Pad: bit.ly/3dtveNv
► Tools Used: bit.ly/3k9QHvW
► Stabilizers: bit.ly/2NFJ2cO
► Lube: Krytox 205G0 & 105G0

This is the most I've ever learned about keyboards in 10 minutes. Great video, just subscribed!
Thank you so much!!! It really means a lot! 😆
Would love to see a short colab video where Marques compares the modded keyboard to his current one :D
lmao- but same
Just wanna say how amazing it is that you are supporting and promoting smaller RUclipsrs. You both ROCK!
Dude… same. The GOAT of RUclips Tech even loves this channel
The silicon mod is actually really genius. This will become popular.
@Blueisoji Yes, but it won't fit your keyboard perfectly like doing a silicon mold would, that's why it's genius.
fun fact... old keyboard (prior and after early 2000s) used to always come with these silicons things out of the box (it would also be the spring of the button within these in some cases)
The mod isnt completely unheard of, there are even ones that come shipped with one like the nk65 or one if my favourite recent keyboard the ikki68 aurora.
I also did it with my keyboard and can say it is very nice and pretty easy to do as long as you use the correct silicone
@@Snic bruh the ikki68 hasn’t shipped yet omegalul
@@Snic I know. I'm talking about doing it yourself.
Came here after MKBHD’s tweet.
Holy crap. Your production quality is top-notch. I have never been this entranced by a video on keyboards! I kind of want to make one like this now...
oh no... RABBITHOLEEEE!!! r/mk is literal hell but heaven you should peep it lol. Also watch your wallet...
And don't get blues
not even 1k subs but damn the quality is unbelievable. also, the silicone mold is a very nice idea
So young and talented. Keep it up!
Thanks!! :D
Wow this video is amazing and the result is fantastic! I love the sound of the final one. So much to learn! Keep it up!
Thanks!!
The sound at the end is so therapeutic love it.
This is by far the most impressive before and after i have ever heard on a keyboard mod video. Typically the end result is not worth the work but i can see why this is. Also, your production quality, straight forward script, and calm demeanor indicate a channel miles ahead of where you currently are. The effort you put in shows and will pay off with results i'm sure of it. Keep up the good work man. Maybe try slowing down when you talk just a little bit though :)
They're browns and he made them slightly worse reds Edit: They're still scratchy af and you prob don't even feel the tactile bump
This was by far one of my favorite videos that I've watched so far on mechanical keyboards. I've been on the fence about this keyboard and this video helped me see its potential. Very informative. You did a fantastic job and the sound is SO SO nice. Thank you for this video.
Man, the production/editing quality of your videos is insane. Definitely keep it up! I’m also glad to find more keyboard/tech related RUclipsrs! 🙌🏽
I love how everything is consciously picked, detailed and executed. There are very few, you even topped MKB.
Crazy production quality. Such a fan of your editing and narrating style. Loved every second of the video!
Everything in this video was so high quality! Editing, videography, lighting, commentary. And the sound test!? These other youtubers need to step they game up
I've only started looking at mech keyboards and I follow MKBHD, so when this popped up, I was super surprised. Great video, might consider getting this Keychron as my first mech!
Literally the sound i’ve been trying to find for years now. I would totally pay you to customize one! Great work!
No need to pay anyone, this can easily be done with a few hours of research
@@superweeb6969 No research needed he linked all the parts/named them
@@user-dx7sg1xv1w no links needed just watch the video
@@hudlim001 no? He thought you needed research when he linked all the parts...
@@superweeb6969 Can’t deny it takes a lot of time though
This channel is a hidden gem, such high quality. I see lots of subscribers in your future :)
Amazing keyboard! Thanks for showing the entire process. Also, I'm mesmerized by your hand movementssssss ahhhhhhhhh
Nice!! The DIY Silicone is 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Dude, the production quality is top notch! Well done!
I never watch keyboard videos, but this one appeared on my recommended and I decided to give it a try. I really enjoyed the video, you put in so much time, so many hours of hard work, and it payed off, the result came out really nice. Congrats! :)
Dont ever stop making your videos with High quality, even if your channel grows! Amazing how high quality it is
Dude this is so good, the silicone mod is something I might just try out! Good job and your explanation/narration was so detailed and clear!
Really good production, I feel if you keep on going these amazing keyboard reviews you will grow pretty fast, good stuff!
I never know that assembling a keyboard could be this interesting and fun.
Video quality is also excellent and the tutorial itself is well explained
God damn it's silicon time. What a great video mate! Looking forward to those tutorial videos with great interest.
it's incredible how a small channel can have incredible quality, congrats men!
Excellent production!! Great sound effects and music choice! Very entertaining and informative.
Very few K2 mod videos are worth the time, but this is great. ABSOLUTELY doing the silicon mod
Nice job on this tutorial! I was a little scared to make any mods on my Keychron K2 V1 keyboard as i'm new to this mechanical keyboard world but, you have inspired and took away my fear of this process. Subbed!
Incredible! Really impressive production and quality execution.
just subbed, looking forwards to the next high quality content like this
Even the automatically generated subtitles at 11:45 applauded for this amazing result!
The amount of knowledge I just gained on keyboards is incredible 🤯 Well done!! I can tell you know what you’re talking about and I love how you explained every step of the process. The silicone mould was such a great idea. Also your editing... just wow 🤩
Thanks!! I’m still learning every day
The production quality of this video is soo good!
Man this video is worth the sub. Thanks for the last part of the video showing extra switches, that makes me love ink blacks.
Upgrading the switches is definitely worth it but I didn't want to do one of those keyboard upgrade videos where they replace the entire keyboard so I kept the browns and only changed the keycaps because of the MKBHD Theme. :)
Really loved the way you did the silicone in the bottom. Thats genius. I'm excited to try that on a future build!
Omg his gestures and editing are so extra. Love it
damn you went hard on this, loved the content, thinking about making these mods
How do you only have 725 subs? Amazing video man, so excited to see more!
Amazing video! I was looking into building a keyboard but all the steps made me nervous to purchase but this would make an amazing start!
Great video man, loved the whole process!
I love how the final product looks 😍
Sounds so much better after the upgrades! Great job dude!
Thanks!!
Love the video and the comedy. I laughed when you explained lube haha
Amazing! this is super high quality content, you deserve a lot more subs. BTW the modified keyboard sounds aaaaawesome!
Silicon mold idea was a great one! And the foam between the plate and PCB is definitely something I'm going to look into using
I was drawn to the colors on your pc build 😎👍 Nice setup and video, just subscribed.
Great video i just got into the whole keyboard enthusiast sphere and i feel like your videos are super beginner friendly
Thanks Man!
When you’re typing at 11:32, what software/ plugin do you use to get the text to appear as you type?
I'm so glad Marques saw this and subbed great video! Very informative nice aesthetics. Love the setup btw!
Don't stop making videos bro. This was insanely good content that was interesting to watch.
Idk how I feel about the silicone dampener but the end result was very nice. Good job on this! Budget builds are hard but you really nailed it
the quality of this video is incredible. You deserve way more my friend
you are a life saver! been looking for a new keyboard and my eye is falling on this exact one. the main problem i have with these mechanicals is the sound. this is exactly what i was looking for in terms of sound and somewhat feel that comes with it!! a ton of reviews and tips and tricks and all that but you are the first i come across that absolutely nailed it. this video actually got me over the fence of buying one and actually tearing it apart. im not that much of a tech guy so wat kind of trying to avoid that. after seeing this and knowing the result i was looking for is achievable, i will take the risk! hehe. great vieo man!
All this hard work just for satisfying sound? Nailed it 😎
Good job man , nice short and simple , keep it up
Was not expecting the silicone mould. Great idea!
I've built 30+ keyboards since I started following the hobby. Your silicon mold tutorial was really good. Subscribed.
Amazing before and after! Great job!
Super informative video. I love the hand gestures and the lube joke haha. Just subbed.
Great job bro!
The sound makes my ears satisfied! Top-notch quality
WOW! Amazing video.Keep it up!
Excellent video man. Super clean, subtle transitions, lighting. And the lube explanation made me LMAO 🤣. Keep it up Bro.
Thanks!! I appreciate your words :)
cant believe you still at 7.58k subs. you deserve more ! Nice and excellent video production !
Looking forward for the coiling tutorial, keep up the great work!
I’m trying to finish it this week 🤞
I followed this video step by step on my Keychron k14 (except the foam between the plate and PCB). As a first-timer it took me around two days to get it all done but wow-I'm totally blown away by the results!
Incredibly satisfying video and extremely high quality!
Great quality and presentation. I like your style. New to mech keebs TY
Great video, love the idea of the silicone mod, I might just give that a go on my Keychron K8
You had me at lube 😅 Your personality really shone through. Great production quality and you taught me a lot about keyboard customization. I appreciate this community all the more.
nice editing man, it's clean! cool
Great video, thanks! I'm going to try this on my K2 this week, the silicone came in from Amazon today. :-) Thanks again!
Good job. The final result was awesome.
okay but im surprised how decent that board sounds stock, wow. nice video!
Saw the mention on MKBHD's channel. Watched this. Subbed.
Good job man! So informative and learned a lot in one video
Man, this was beautiful explained, tips and all, bro instant sub!
Big ups 👍 for the effort! It sounds amazing 🤩
ive never seen the silicon mold used for foam like this before, great job!
Incredible video. Highly underrated channel ^^
your keyboard sounds awesome now! i love it!
This is such high quality. Subbed.
get noticed :p awesome video man. huge production value
Unbelievably satisfying!🔥
Awesome video! Still waiting on the DIY Coiled Cable vid. Keep it up man!
Such high production quality for only 1.8k subs, insane!
ok. i will go for keychron now. was planning for leopold. but this made me switch.
SUBSCRIBED!!!
My god this seemed like a lot of work. But the end product is bloody gorgeous.
That silicone layer for sound dampening is a fantastic idea too!
I enjoyed this video so much. Thanks for sharing. Though I never liked the brown switches, I don't think they're worth the time to lube and mod, but they are sounding too good to be true. I think I might try to do what you did. Thanks again for sharing.
I get what you are saying, Browns are far from the best, but the main goal of this video is to show an affordable way to upgrade your keyboard, and upgrading switches can almost cost more than the keyboard itself in cases like this so I just tried to maximize the browns and see what it would sound and feel like.
This is amazing , especially the 'lube' part.
you're honestly so underrated love this channel
Editing is cleannnn. Got this recommended to me thanks to the algorithm, glad it did! Keep it up.
that silicon between the pcb and the case is going to be something that i try in the future, absolutely ingenious!
Brilliant stuff, keep it up!
Was watching this video again when I just realized your floating spinning plant beside your monitor! Looks cool!
The "AFTER" sound is heaven to my ears...i can listen to that sound all day 24/7 lol
Will be looking forward to a high end upgrade video!
I hope I can do this sometime soon :)
Love the video quality and editing! Hopefully you can make a tutorial on how you edit. :)
NICE VIDEO! Might have to buy this exact model and do this myself! subscribed!
