Modding the cheapest mechanical keyboard | Ziyoulang K68

- I paid around $20 on aliexpress in the last sale for this Ziyoulang K68.
Last week I made an ASMR video with it...
• ASMR | Soft typing on ...
Now it's time to mod it.
It's a wireless keyboard (only Bluetooth & 2.4Ghz) driven by 2 AAA batteries.
The PCB is hotswap and only has LED indicator for the connection mode and the Caps Lock.
The switches are lighter like the Gateron Red.
The keycaps are ABS double shot, sounds clacky and thin, but the legends are sharp and durable.
The only drawback is that it does not have software to remap the keys.
I think for the price you get a lot of value.

I own this keyboard and already thought it sounded good stock, but you really made it sound amazing with your mods! Awesome job!
Wholy shit dude, that was exacly the video I've been looking for. Subs just for that!! Was mods do you recommend and which ones you think aren't worth it?
Hey buddy, I'm glad you like the video. In my opinion, the most important modification is the lubrication of the switches, the stabilizers came very well from the factory. Then, the switch pads on the PCB are a matter of taste, I like the poppy effect it gives. And the poly filling is to eliminate some of the hollowness, but it's optional. I'm impressed by how cheap this keyboard is.
@@jpbulbulian Thanks for the tips! I'm also really impressed by the value of this keyboard. I'll definitely take your advice and lube the switches, and probably add some filling to improve the sound. By the way, have you ever considered or experimented a rechargeable battery mod somehow? Or has using AAA batteries never been an issue for you? Cheers mate
@@paul9812-t3i I'm using this s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DdcMOIb are USB Li-ion AAA Rechargeable
nice video
Awesome! Nce experiment!
Loved the video thank you
Nicely done dude! Cómo viajan esas teclas
Abrazo de gol hermano! me alegro te haya gustado
Is it okay to use cotton instead of poly-fill? And is it safe to tape mod the pcb??
Hi, the cotton its the same than polyfill. The idea is to remove some hollowness in the stock sound. In my experience there is no difference with the Tape Mod in tray mounted boards.
@@jpbulbulian Thanks! Just did both right now and put tape inside my spacebar keycap, it sounds significantly better, but i put way less polyfill than you and didnt put it ind the baterry part, is it ok to just fill the whole thing?
That is a good idea, I will try to fill the spacebar with silicone. Its very clacky right now.
I put all the polyfill than I can. Now I note a more solid sound.
