my membrane keyboard actually sounds just as the modded one from the video out of the box, so maybe, by like, 10 dollars more, so well,, if he used a good keyboard he wouldn't need all the work
Membranes can definitely sound good, even rubber dome keyboards can sound pleasant. Old model ms had a quite nice sound to them imo, and those were buckling spring switch membrane keyboards. Out of rubber dome keyboards though, chiclets can also have a quiet and pleasant tactile sound to them.
So what you’re saying is that I should try modding my dads work membrane keyboard and accidentally break it in the process and pay him $15 that could have been used for my future keyboard? Ahh, stonks squashy stonks
Damn that hits different from me. When I successfully lubed my dad's membrane kb, I showed it to him and did a sound test. The sound was better than I expected, but my dad got mad just cus it's got no sound
i just noticed that after the mod, the rgb in the keyboard was blocked causing the lights to be very patchy so if you were to try and upgrade it i suggest you add a solid color backing using tape or paint so the rgb wouldnt show through at all because that would be better than patchy rgb imo atleast
I actually did the lubing part of my membrane keyboard just recently. Hadn't thought of putting foam in the stems, I'll have to try that although I wish there was a direct audio comparison to see the difference.
I do not have a video as I am not a videomaker, but I didn't do anything too different from this guy: I applied boron nitride grease in abundance to the contact points between key and keyboard. I used that product simply because it's what I had on hand, so it's probably not ideal but it works well for me.
Just to clear things up, the mat of rubber domes used to get the tactile response is not the membrane. Topre and other electrocapacitive keyboards use rubber domes but don't use membranes. In order to cut costs, membrane keyboards typically don't have a PCB and instead use a couple sheets of thin plastic with conductive traces drawn on them, these are the "membranes". There are typically three layers: the top membrane, a spacer with holes wherever the keys are, and a bottom layer. Whenever a key is pressed it pushes the top layer onto the bottom layer causing the conductive traces to touch and thereby closing the circuit. Membrane keyboards feel like ass to type on because you have to bottom out every time in order to register an input. The feeling of bottoming out is mushy partly due to the mat of rubber domes but mostly due to the fact that you are literally forcing two pieces of plastic to come together. Funny thing is that you don't even need the keycaps, barrel plate (top half of the case), or even the rubber domes to use a membrane keyboard. Since all you're doing is pushing two layers of plastic together, you could just use the keyboard with only the membranes. Thought I'd clear that up since it wasn't really explained that well in this video.
what happen if we put like a heavy ball inside the keycaps, or just somehow make the keycaps heavier, does it make bottoming out easier? i dont have stuff to mod a keyboard so i dont really know lol btw English is not my native language so feel free to correct me
@@ryoukaip I don't think so. If whatever you're adding is heavy enough to make bottoming out easier, it's probably too heavy for the rubber domes to bring the keycap back up. There really is no getting around the awful actuation from membranes, it would just be better to save up for a cheap Chinese $30 dollar mechanical keyboard and mod that instead.
Technically a "membrane" keyboard just refers to the method of detecting a keypress and while almost all membrane keyboards use rubber as a switch, some don't (ex. The IBM Model M is technically a membrane board, but it uses buckling spring switches)
yeah technically he's confusing membrane and rubber dome in his explanation, although obviously modern cheap keyboards like that are both. Like you say, a model M is a membrane board but not rubber dome, and topre is rubber dome but not membrane.
@@itzlqmer6084 I mean I like mechanical it feels nice but its not what suits my hands really. I prefer membrane cuz its great that its cheaper plus I have one that is quieter than a mechanical one. Both things I mentioned cover my needs: Something cheap (Im poor) and something quiet (Live with my parents and they hate the sound of mechanical keyboards)
Squashy: “I’m gonna build a website to sell custom mechanical keyboards at a huge discount.” Me: “OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
A membrane keyboard is not where you have rubber replacing the key switches. A membrane keyboard is any keyboard with a membrane inside of it, even old IBM model Ms and such. Membrane keyboards can be very good at times, many people prefer the old model Ms over any modern mechanical keyboards. The membrane creates an output when pressure is put on it. What you are referring to are rubber dome switches, where you have a sheet of rubber with domes on it above the membrane, and when pressed put pressure on the membrane, creating an output. They are generally considered worse than most mechanical keyboards, but have the benefit of being relatively cheap and accessible, and being able to have a lot smaller form factor. Some variations like chiclet keyboards can have a little extra tactility and have an even smaller form factor, they dont feel half bad either. Both membrane and rubber domes can be quite good, ive seen some keyboards that have individual rubber domes instead of a sheet of domes, and some people really enjoy those. I think hipyo also did a video on a similar thing, where there are rubber domes inside of a housing.
did this before once and then proceeded to chuck the keyboard at the wall, leaving a hole with the keyboard stuck in it and never bothered to remove it.
Dude, green screening yourself into a regular room with a free standing green screen behind you was a thing of chaotic beauty. WHAT? IT WORKED? That actually sounds pretty good. That's amazing.
I just spent way too much time doing this to my Steelseries membrane keyboard lmaooo it sounds and feels nicer but jeez, individually lubing each key with a paint brush takes soo long. Never thought to stuff the keycaps with foam but it definitely helped.
my favorite part of this video is when he says "I know sound dampening foam only works because of the pyramid peaks, but I just need some foam which can dampen something" so that the sound proofing guys dont come after him lols. I agree foam dampens the sound forget the peaks! lol great technique, I'm going to try it out one day.
I lubed mine (Razer Cynosa V2) and the difference is NIGHT AND DAY. I'm amazed manufacturers don't apply this lube from the factory. Thanks for the tip! I tested putting the foam in but it didn't make that much of a difference so I only did the lube. Took a long time but the end result made it worth it! The most silent keyboard I've had!

this might just be me but idk why everyone hates on membrane keyboards... yeah mechanical are somewhat better but these are so much betterfor the price
@@itzriverl0l540 it is double the price for much more than double the value in both typing experience and durability. Mechanical keyboards generally never break from regular wear, while a membrane keyboard will last a few years of regular wear at best. No matter the switch, a mechanical keyboard will have a stiff bottom out which after getting used to, makes it impossible to go back to the mushy bottom out of a membrane keyboard. Not to mention the fact that at this price point “double the price” doesn’t mean too much. It’s an extra 10-15 dollars at best
I only buy membrane keyboards and I discovered that if you remove the stabilizers in the shift and stuff except the space bar it will sound a bit deeper and good
Hey could anyone help me. I just bought a new keyboard and it has Cherry MX Reds which are scratchy and I don't know how to make it better or fix. If anyone could help me it would be great
@Nullminer no duh, you’re comparing a good membrane to a trash mechanical. If you were to buy a mechanical keyboard for the same price as an expensive membrane keyboard, the mechanical will be better 9 times out of 10.
@Nullminer you should look at videos of some budget mechanical keyboards, they will blow you away. I have the Tecware Phantom 87, which costs $46 USD and it’s extraordinary, especially for the price. Highly recommend it.
