Great sound. One of the best I've heard.
im going for just this build, minus the aesthetics! thanks for the perfect build and sound test video!
That's one amazing sounding keyboard
DUDE! I AHD N OLD RAZER BALCKWIDOW AND I WANTED TO UPGRADE MY NEW KEYCHRON! THX SO MUCH!!!
^5
Sounds like my Keychron K4! I put LTC Lavacaps in KDA profile as well as one layer of that arts & crafts felt in for foam.
SUPER! ^5
Thank you , I learned so much from watching your video alone. :) Are you awesome!
You're too kind
Great job!! Literally best sound i have ever hear 😊
this is THOCC
you are the best !
im in the situation of owning a razer blackwidow chroma and wanting to buy a k4v2 and mod it. the difference is night and day !
Do it! It will change your life. ; )
yoyo broyo
Nice mod! Planning on getting a K4V2 and some AKKO switches per the recommendation of a friend. This does sound good though. Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll have the time to lube each switch by hand.
Haha totally understand. I treated the lubing of the switches almost as a meditation activity rather than a chore, kept up with it for many days although it's only a few seconds on video haha. It kinda enhanced the satisfaction when I finally finished the board. It wasn't something that I wanted to finish fast so I could use it. It was something I wanted to take my time, so I could eventually appreciate it. : P
Btw AKKO is great too! They sound SUPERB IMO.
@@gaziaOG That's a nice way of thinking about it. I'll probably grab a set down the line and do that when I have more time.
Ayo nice throws on the topshelf there. Is the green one a recess charm?
Haha you're pretty sharp-eyed. I had to scroll through the video to find out what were you talking about. Anyway no, that's a Phaser yo-yo by sOMEThing in the Emerald/Rainbow color. 😆
i like CLACK
also try tempest tape mod and maybe pe switch ppad or pe foam mod that will level up ur board quite a bit
Nice one!
Eagerly waiting for my switches to come to put inside my K4.
That usb type c cable is ace, love how its magnetic. Could the link where you got it from?
Haha glad you noticed it! It's actually just a normal coiled aviator cable that you could get anywhere from customs to cheap ones on aliexpress. I just attached a L-shaped magnetic head to the USB-C cable I bought separately. I like the idea of hovering my cable around the area and let it snap on, than stabbing my keyboard to death before I align the insert without looking. : P Just google for 'magnetic usb c', it should show up anywhere from Amazon to any local online shopping platforms.
What foam did you use for the mod? do you have links for shoppe for the rest? ++ for the THOCC
It's a weird thing, I had these baby fence for the bed and there were these white foam beneath the cloth of the railings to prevent the kid from hitting his head against it. When my kid grew up and stopped using the fencing, I kinda extracted the thin layer of white foam.
You can find the switches by searching for 'Gateron Ink Blacks V2', and also 'this is plastic keycaps' for the keycaps on Shopee.
Where did you get keycaps? I'm having a hard times getting keycaps for k4 keychron. The packs i've been getting always missing something like small 0 key or whatever.
Mine are clones bought off Aliexpress, which are as good as the original ones in terms of print, and material used. I really love the look of it but the original one keeps getting sold out. It also really depends on what profile keys are you looking for. This particular one is XDA profile. Before purchasing any keycap sets, do check the number of caps that are actually included: eg the alternate versions, different versions for different types of special keys for various keyboard formats.. etc. Look out for a keycap map that displays all caps included in the set on the product pages when browsing just to get a clear idea.
What's the brand of the USB C magnet @01:54? TIA.
Nice and juicy
Awesome build! Where did you get that cable tho?
It's a basic custom coiled aviator cable with a protective nylon weave that you can get around 35-45usd on various shopping platforms, modified with a magnetic usb-c L head for that extra coolness. : P
@@gaziaOG where can we get one? Really needing one like that!
Really great job man, i might copy these mods from you when my k4 finally arrives, except the keycaps, i can't find any good one with iso layout.
Haha do share with me when you're done with yours! Are you also not able to part ways to your numpad? Damn I need it. >_
Yeah, i use my numpad a lot, specially for programming, i'll miss the print screen button aswell, but there are other shortcuts for that
I'm French and ISO-FR Azerty layout keycaps are a pain to find on the web ...
The best you can do for now, is to create your layout on WASD Keyboard by uploading your own file.
You can customize each key with any sign, color and size.
But this is cheap plastic, and for some colors they are glowing if you have leds on under the key
ive been thinking if i should get this keyboard. im completely new to the scene and still wondering if i should get gat reds, browns, or blues for the stock config and if i should mod it or not
The sound and feel of switches, tactile or linear, are hard to justify with youtube reviews and sound test videos. If you have a local store, try going down to get a feel for yourself. If you're feeling generous, you could order a switch tester, and or buy a small amt of each switch that you are interested in and test them first. It really comes down to your physical preference. Other than that, all other tutorials are freely available with a search.
where did you get your key caps?
Hey Ziponin, these caps arn't original, they are clones I bought off Aliexpress and the quality is superb as well. Go to AE and search for 'this is plastic' keycaps and you'll find it. You really don't have to pay for a lot of money to get some branded caps.
Hey, what braided cable is that? and where can I find it?
Do you have access to Shopee online shopping from where you're from? Just search for 'aviator cable' and there are tons. Many for very affordable prices. 🙂
@@gaziaOG and do most of these come with that magnetic clip he has. Cause that is super convenient
Does anyone know the best place to buy new keycaps for the K4? I would slim Keycaps. Thanks!
hard to find them, I know I tried, search for 1800 keyboard layout keycaps but double check with the picture on keychron's website on the individual sizes.
hey, are gateron black ink v2 fatigue to type on? do you find them heavy too? i need an opinion before buying. i wanna use them for gaming
I do feel that its spring is a little on the stiffer side. But it’s up to my personal preference after I tested a range of switches. I like to type fast and hard so it doesn’t feel too different from other keys. I suggest you get one or two samples to test before you commit to it. For me it’s perfect.
Did you notice any clearance issues with the right angle connector? I got one, but it doesn't fit. :'/
Hmm not really. My magnetic connector snaps on fine. Could be that different heads fit differently?
@@gaziaOG possibly. Time to spend money and see what works. Lol
Tbh razer black widow sounds the best among 3
Surely you're smoking crack. Every Razer, Corsair, Logitech keyboard sounds like a cheap plastic toy from WalMart. Over there playin with Legos and shit.
Oh man, that’s Thocc is $$!! Love it. About to start my first mod. Do you only lube the ends of each spring? Or do you lube the entire spring?
You only need to lube the ends as they are the only contact points with the internals of the switch. Some people lube the whole thing by throwing it in a bag of lube and shaking, it's to save time, but IMO I just want to be optimal haha.
Now you can play games using WASD.
Where did you get that cable??
it has 2 parts. I bought the magnetic L-shaped head from amazon, and the aviator cable itself from Shopee. hope that helps. 🙂
@@gaziaOG I saw that after rewatching it again. Genius! I hate plugging it in then switching to Bluetooth because I don’t want to kill the battery quick with 24/7 charging
