Finally, been waiting for this. Thank you so much!!! You got a sub!

[@QuietTechYT]

Thank you very much for watching 🙏

[@NamNguyen-cp3ti]

First time seeing someone bag-lube stems

[@QuietTechYT]

Yeah, it's not very common.. But works great!

[@divinity2324]

Akko made a good looking board with some game features, but its sound is really underwhelming. Good job, mate, you did this sound a lot better

[@QuietTechYT]

Thank you, they've actually updated the switches since this video was made.. They sent me enough for the whole keyboard. Might make a new video about it 👍

[@Blank3ts]

Found it!! Thanks for making this video!!

[@QuietTechYT]

No worries 🙏

[@ponkwyt]

hey would the m1w sp-he or the m1w v3 he make a difference in sound? (same switches and same mods and dye sub pbt keycap)

[@miguelfelizardo9457]

Recently bought one of these keyboards as my first "custom", if i can call it that, and this is something i will be doing once i get them. Do you also think they benefit from filming? Great video. Thanks!

[@QuietTechYT]

Sorry for the late reply, filming always helps. Did it work good for you?

[@plasticdope]

I thought you would add the housing into another bag and shake them all too :))

[@QuietTechYT]

Hahaha never tried that before, should I? 😅

[@dotxyn]

With these magnetic switch PCBs having no switch holes, have you found the tape mod to help sound at all?

[@darkxneyt3968]

i taped mod my akko mod007b he and yea it helped, it made it sound more poppy and thocky much more compared to traditional switches with a cover on the bottom of the housing

[@dotxyn]

@@darkxneyt3968 looks like the akko mod he board is quite different, having sockets for mech switches as well, which i did not know. the board im using now, the AS K85 HE, didn't sound much different with a tape mod, and im wondering if that's related to the PCB not having any holes or sockets. very different than the akko. i have a mod007b he on order and am eager to try it out

[@QuietTechYT]

Sorry for the late reply, tape mod worked great!

[@muhammadzildjiansuharto2635]

Does it effects the magnetic switch performance ?

[@QuietTechYT]

Not what I noticed while I still had the keyboard.

[@ponkwyt]

can you do the same but hand lubed pleeeeease?
edit: I'm confused did you lube it twice or is one method bag lube and the other method is hand lubing?

[@QuietTechYT]

@@ponkwyt I bag lubed the stems but then used a brush to evenly spread the lube. Hope that helps.

[@ponkwyt]

@@QuietTechYT would it make a difference if I hand lubed it?

[@ponkwyt]

@@QuietTechYT and also would the m1w sp-he make a difference in sound because I'm looking for an aluminium build which I would perform the same mods on

[@66HardRock66]

my keys on the apex pro tend to stuck in pressed positions is this the way to fix it?

[@QuietTechYT]

Then there might be some dirt in there, a good clean should work!

[@fleetway_zamasu]

could you send the link where you got that switch opener from would really help out 👌👌😊😊

[@QuietTechYT]

I don't have the link for that exact seller because they stopped selling them, but I do have a link to the exact same one but from a different seller
a.aliexpress.com/_EHJ0oE3 hope that helps!

[@aleksandrmikhailov3255]

Thank you so much, man!

[@QuietTechYT]

No worries 👍

[@L0STCHAPTERS]

On this keyboard if i only do a tape mod, can i get a good sound like this? Better than stock or is required to lub?

[@QuietTechYT]

With the new updated switches, it could sound similar to this. But the old ones need some lube. Hope that helps!

[@L0STCHAPTERS]

Thanks a lot. I buy this keyboard 10 days ago. Waiting to get it at home yet. I hope will be the new switches so. Thanks

[@johanlangstone3344]

Hey dude great video! Sorry if this is unrelated but i cant find any info anywhere. Do you know what heavier springs would work with these switches without messing with the magnetic hall effect?

[@QuietTechYT]

Hey, unfortunately I have no idea.. I haven't tried switching them out yet myself! But I hope you can find your answer somewhere else

[@Key-switch]

Do you know anyone that I can send to for lining it’s to much work

[@QuietTechYT]

@@Key-switch I build keyboard all the time, so depending on where you live. You could send it to me, but for a price ofc.

Стабилизаторы очень плохие.... ты их дорабатывал? Свитчи стали звучать значительно лучше по сравнению со изначальным вариантом. Но мне кажется что тут смазанные свитчи и не смазанные стабилизаторы...

[@QuietTechYT]

I have not lubricated the stabilizers yet, that's correct.

[@quadrapodacone]

[@QuietTechYT]

Right!? Amazing what a little bit of lube can do.

[@mapleslayer2]

can you use any switch opener? sorry new to the hobby

[@QuietTechYT]

Hey, you need a kailh switch opener. Hope that helps 🙏

[@QuietTechYT]

Best would be to get a 2 in 1 switch opener like this one a.aliexpress.com/_mrtmMgK

[@nymowo]

how does the sound of the magnetic akko cream yellows comapred to the normal ones?

[@QuietTechYT]

There's quite a big difference, especially the old version of the magnetic switches.. But there's an updated version now which sounds closer, but still pretty far off the sound of the normal once.

[@nymowo]

@@QuietTechYT oh, I see, thanks for the info

[@mooncalf_69]

too much work i will leave it as stock

[@QuietTechYT]

Totally understandable 😅

[@ghost_of_m403]

NO, not the stems NO!!!!!

[@QuietTechYT]

These switches have a hole at the bottom of the switch, so there's no suction created by the stem.
