I'm learning, so this is something I needed to see for the current keyboard I am looking at. Thanks for this dope informative video dude. I love those key caps.
Heyy, i bought my rk100 from you!! To open up the case is quite annoying as it’s very tight.. Some video tips/suggestions; 1) lightly tap on keys that have stabiliser to know if there’s some rattle 2) says the reason of the mod (clip stab to reduce rattle, foam to mitigate pinging from echoing) Some mod tips/suggestions; 1)change and/or lube stabs (or band aid or holee mod) 2)change and/or lube switches Great video!
Sounds great! I love the mods you did to it, makes it sound much more expensive than it is...just waiting on mine to show up. Just a quick question, what desk mat is that?
Hey! I’ve seen some comments on Reddit that the RK100 is impossible / very difficult to disassemble for mods or repairs. How was your experience like on this?
Just the video I needed for my RK100. I'm planning to mod my keyboard too. Thinking of foaming the case + doing something they call a "tempest mod" aka putting tape underneath the pcb. Do you think it's worth doing when I have the foams already or it's too much?
Hi Samuel, after I did all the mods, the indicator lights at the front of the case facing the user are no longer lighting up. Any idea what could be the problem?
@@itssamueltan tyvm! my rk100 will arrive next week and was planning to mod it. Should i wait for the warranty to expire(3months warranty) or should mod it right away?
Yes, there is software to update firmware, remap keys and adjust the backlight. Go to this link . Look for RK100 driver. For white (monochrome) backlight, select the PID:002A version of the driver. Install on Windows PC. Turn off the power to the keyboard, connect keyboard to PC using the cable, then launch the software.

Thx!, its a deskmat i bought on taobao
@@itssamueltan Let the search begin! Thank you for the info 😁
Thank you so much for this video, im planning for a present which is a full size keyboard and to mod it.
Nice! Goodluckk
Bro, may I know where do you buy the keycap for RK100, your keyboard looks dope 🤩
I got it from Taobao 🤣 and thanks!
Hey! I’ve seen some comments on Reddit that the RK100 is impossible / very difficult to disassemble for mods or repairs. How was your experience like on this?
Honestly it's super easy, u just need to remove the switches and plate not hard at all
@@itssamueltan Cool thanks for clarifying! Looking forward to seeing more mods from you in the future
What do you think about the keyboard build quality? Wouldn’t want to mod a keyboard just for it to break in a year
Hmm newer versions have better build quality and RK is considered to be a budget board already, but from experience it can last a long time.
Good job. Love the video 👍

That would work too, but make sure u use enough layers and not alot of case foam
@@itssamueltan Nice. Thanks for the input. I'll try to do that. Hope it turns out well for me too!😊
@@jungeula goodluckk!
What's the brand of that spiral USB C cable? Nice upgrades!
Hey, its called a coiled cable, i got a few from SILKEYKBD & Bubbles Cables on IG
in another country rk100 rebranded by rexus daxa m100pro when you dissasembly it very similiar exept the switch the daxa use gateron pro yellow
Nice
great vid dude, I was wondering whether if its possible to remove the frame
No it can't be removed, the RK100 has a fixed Frame, thx too!
Very nice mod..cheers💯
Thanks!
Wow, sounds amazing and you didn't even lube the switches
Thanks and yeaa other mods help alot
Hey man, how do we know it's fully charged
The spacebar stops Lighting up or you can just charge it for 2-3 hours
@@itssamueltan hello kind man, i ordered this and will it last me 5 years if i take good care of it?
@@varshniveralevel8347 definitely, it's easy to fix or repair too
So the link for the keycaps doesn't seem to work for me. Is the site only available in China?
Actually it's just Taobao, will work in any country
good tutorial keep it up
Thanks again!
May I know where did you get the keycaps?
Can I have the link pls?
It's from taobao umm
Oh, thx
@@itssamueltan can share taobao link for the keycaps? Thanks.
would you still recommend this ? or something else similiar to this ? im looking for this exact type of 96% with as much as compact size possible.
I still recommend the RK100, it's now even updated with the 2023 version so it comes with lubes stabs and mods already included
@@itssamueltan Did they rename the updated one as v2? I just dont wanna make mistakes & buy old stocks haha
@@itssamueltan And thank you for fast reply, I honestly appreciate it
@@rayleigh2086 they actually didn't 🥲 so do look for the ones with mods included, should be the newer one
@@rayleigh2086 welcome!
Nice video bro, semoga maju jaya
Thanks bro🔥
What profile is your keycaps?How thick is you case foam?
Case foam is around 1-2mm, and the keycaps are cherry profile
Thank you
bro this keyboard can be used with other switches like Cherry MX Switch?
For this keyboard its abit tricky because the LEDs are sticking out
Is it true that not all keycaps are standard?
Yeah the shift and a few keys on the right side are not standard
Hi Samuel, after I did all the mods, the indicator lights at the front of the case facing the user are no longer lighting up. Any idea what could be the problem?
Hi, maybe you covered the LEDs in the front, be careful not to cover it
@@itssamueltan Ohh the foam covered the LED in the front? Okay got it, I will have a look. Thank you. Sigh have to open everything up again.
Will the new gateron yellow pro pre-lube switches fit for this keyboard?
Yeah they will, the have the same design
@@itssamueltan thanks for the response, one more question. Can the keyboard use any keycaps?
@@greedyama6120 yes
How many keycaps is recommended for rk100?
hmm i would recommen getting a fullset to be sure
is it possible to add/install usb3.0
female on that keyboard?
U can definitely replace it but I'm not sure what benefits it will bring
can your mod for white RK100 rgb fit to this keyboard
Yeap
for the stabilizer, the 60%, TKL, 7U compatible to rk100?
It's 6.25u
@@itssamueltan tyvm! my rk100 will arrive next week and was planning to mod it. Should i wait for the warranty to expire(3months warranty) or should mod it right away?
@@jarreauetcobanez3447 I would say use it for a few weeks, and if everything is fine yea just mod it 👍🏻
The right shift key is 1.75U or 2U?
its 1.75 u
can you tell me name of keycap ? Thank you so much.
I got it on taobao 😢
oh thanhks. Can you compare for me between RK84 and RK100 ? I'm hesitating between them.
how do your fit the screws through the foam to connect to the case
So thinner foam I just screw it in, but some foam u need to cut the holes for the screw
Do you know the keycap size of this keyboard?
Yeap
@@itssamueltan I wanted to change the keycap but I don't know what the size is
Do you have the link for the keycaps?
Added in description
What is the thickness of the foam?
Around 5mm
Did you lube the switches?
No these are the stock RK Brown
@@itssamueltan thanks for the answer🙏🏼🙏🏼i would also wanna the reason for clipping the stabs too. Great and very informative video btw.
@@Lookmora thanks! Clipping it make the stabs more stable and reduces the rattling sound and squishy feel of them
@@itssamueltan thank you so muchhh💗💗
whats the name of the wire coil bro
Hey you can just search up coiled cable, it should come up
It’s it possible to buy a 104 set of key caps and add it to this keyboard or nah
Nah u need a fullset not the standard size
can i control the lights on the rrk100 with a software?
The RGB version yes but for this older version it's a no
Yes, there is software to update firmware, remap keys and adjust the backlight. Go to this link . Look for RK100 driver. For white (monochrome) backlight, select the PID:002A version of the driver. Install on Windows PC. Turn off the power to the keyboard, connect keyboard to PC using the cable, then launch the software.
.
The price for the keyboard is no longer RM160 tho🥲
if u know how to use taobao its still possible to get it at 160
which's type of switch do u use?
This was stock Huano Brown, but currently a linear user
since ur video now the price of RK100 is rm210 LOL
ikr more expensive already
@@itssamueltan keychron k4 v2 vs rk100 which one better bro. If I have no budget problem.
35 what?
WTF is Raygay in currency?
I thought that was a type of music. XD
hahaha sorry for the confusion. its RM or MYR its the Malaysian Currency. 1USD would be 4MYR
@@itssamueltan lol I'm just messing around.
First 🙌
Nice!
