So as a drummer, we do these things where we dampen the sound of the snare drum using pieces of adhesive gel or gum. What it does is it removes the high pitch ringing, as the physical contact disperses the higher frequencies and also the extra reverb, making the sound tight and creating a crack without it being too sharp and fatiguing. I guess in this case, the crack of the snare drum that's pleasing is the keyboard thock. You know how if you accidentally hit a piece of sheet metal and it reverberates, the way to kill the sound is to just grab it? Yeah, it kinda works like that. What this tape mod feels like is a version of sound dampening that can be caused by the sound high frequencies the PCB makes when a key is struck.
@Honknytes Sorry that must be confusing. There's a brand of dampening gel called drum gum, so I'm used to calling it that. It's not chewing or bubble gum. It's more like acoustic play-doh.
Can confirm, especially if you use two layers, that you have to squish down the tape as much as possible. When I put my second layer on haphazardly it resulted in a crinkling sound from bits of tape compressing against my case foam. I just went went with one layer and I do enjoy the added pop.
Just a word of caution... ScotchBlue has changed to a vinyl type material for their painter's tape (had a distinctly rubber feel to it) if you want painters tape that is actually more of a paper composition.... do not buy the Scotch brand. Given what I've heard about a paper towel mod and what it does to sound, I'm thinking most will defiantly want a paper based tape... just something to be aware of : )
Painters tape not only leaves residue, it leaves itself and a distinct annoying odor, if you forget to peel it away and replace it within one or two weeks. Seriously, read the label. Sticky notes are the only known adhesive that doesn't become a mess for future-you.
I’d argue there’s no such thing as “not an enthusiast keyboard.” We’re enthusiasts, we get enthused regardless of whether something is standard or not, premium or budget, packed with functions or serves a basic purpose! So far, these A80 and L80 boards have been the best-sounding prebuilts I’ve ever heard in stock form, and they definitely convinced me that costar stabs are superior despite whatever tuning shortfalls people may have with them.
If one layer makes a difference, then it stands to reason that additional layers also would. For me, 1 layer sounded like a step in the right direction, but 3, a bit much, starting to get muffled. I'm curious about the sound of 2 layers on this, because I feel there's such a big difference between 1 and 3 that there's plenty of missed soundscape in between.
Honestly mixing the tapes makes a difference as well. I did one layer of masking tape and then one layer of electrical tape on top of it, and it made my board sound awesome!
Separating the down motion (key compress) and key return (key rebound sound) with longer pause would make the sound test so much better and this review perfect. We all know that o-ring will silent the compression of the key, but how to silent key rebound? Well done.
Unpopular opinion: Costar stabs are MUCH easier to mod and make It Nice than Cherry stryle ones... You dont need to clip things, lube sliders, and all these things. You only need Dieletric grease and maybe some tape and you are done. And you dont need to dessolder your board to mod them. Thats the best part! Oh, and as you said, they are MUCH better stock than the Cherry ones. People only like Cherry style ones because they are easy to put The keycaps back, while Costar ones have better quality in general. It's simply a more clever design. Oh, and It's not mushy like those terrible stock Cherry ones.
Oddly enough I think every keyboard I own has costar stabilizers Considering this guy has a whole channel dedicated to building keyboards and takes him 13 minutes to just put the keycaps on the stabs is pretty sad. I can change the whole keycaps set off and on quicker than that. And I very rarely do it.
After experimenting with the Tempest Tape Mod there's a few things I think people should consider before thinking it's going to make their keyboards sound amazing. One thing is for sure the mod makes the keyboard way louder. And although it will make popping noises stand out. It's a bit of a two edged sword. As it will also amplify any other sound your switch might have. So if your switches have any kind of stratchiness, or stem rattle. Those sounds will also be amplified. Same goes for the bottoming out sound of your switch (Assuming you bottom out your keys) if you don't like it it will be even louder than it was before. So yeah, to really get the most out of this mod. You kind of have to either find some really well factory lubed switches. Or bite the bullet and become a full fledge keyboard addict and start lubing and filming those switches by hand. Not sure I'm there yet. :D
Your voice is incredible. Almost like Ryan Reynolds but not all the way. Smooth and clear. I could listen to you talk for hours on hours, about anything... Even skill share ads... *Chef's kiss*
Whats your thoughts long term effects of this mod? My understanding is most tapes are designed to remove cleanly within 24hrs of application. Imagine the horror of an entire underside of your PCB sticky with residue.
Nothing a careful application of rubbing alcohol wouldn't be able to fix. My thought is that once the tape is on it's not coming off. The PCB is probably the most permanent part of any board, and if something goes wrong with it that would require removing the tape to fix then it's probably not worth the trouble and I'd just get a new PCB.
Painting tape is made for making sure you don't leave that weird residue all over everything as it's meant to be used on your walls for painting. I wouldn't do it with duct tape and the like tho.
@Hipyotech I recently put a diaper in the bottom of a cheap Gmk67 board. Highly recommend. Size two fits perfect when you cut the elastic off the sides .
2:33 I don't know how much "saving desk space" really matters to anyone, but less wide keyboard = better gaming ergonomics, especially if you're a average to low sens gamer. Cutting anything extra off from the right side of the keyboard leaves more room for the mouse without having to move your keyboard further away from your mousing area, allowing a more straight arm posture. If ergonomics wasn't a concern, I'd never willingly give up numpad.
Why is it that every time someone describes a keyboard as "thocc" it ends up sounding like hot garbage? This sounded like a bunk ass keyboard you'd find in your middle school computer lab.
@@HipyoTech yeah, it’s really fun if you find songs you like, one bit of advice is that even if you don’t like a song, and it’s really easy to quit on it, just keep trying and you’ll Learn from it and be able to play more advanced songs. If you don’t like it, just get it over with
yeah i legit do this to all of my keyboards. youre right that it does add a little pop but thats why i enjoy it. I usually just do 2-3 layers though. never gone a full 4. i see no need to go that many. The only reason i do 3 is because i can get the edges of the tape to stick down on each other and make the tape one big piece, so its easy to peel off and put back on if i need to desolder something.
Don't use the yellow tape variant. If that stays on the PCB for longer than a week, you'll never get the glue off the PCB. The blue painter's tape has different glue that's designed to stay on the tape for prologed time periods.
Confirmed there is something wrong with my hearing earlier I can't hear a diff between a lubed & not lubed black ink v2's now this, subbed keep em coming
I have the Logitech G pro keyboard and it sounded very hollow, and guess what I did. I opened it and added some foam material from a box of an ergo chair I got and trust me it did the trick now the keyboard sound way better less cheap and hollow.
I have been looking for “that” keyboard for a long time. I like the Kahle box white, but haven’t found a board. I need the number keys. Thoughts? I use for typing.
Maybe try the anne pro 2? It's not hot-swappable but I heard it has good stock stabs, and it comes with a kalih box white option (i'm thinking of buying it very soon) Hope this helped!
@@gavel44 oh and I forgot to mention that drop keyboards can get quite expensive (for ex.,the drop shift is 250$) so maybe buying a hot-swappable board and switching out the switches with box whites, or buying a more compact keyboard and buying a numpad separately could be more effective. Have a nice day!
Basically, sound is more "shallow" because you lose some resonance due to sound dampening properties of paper, and also there is less space where sound can bounce around. I actually wonder how would soft cardboard do. Probably, the softer and more airy material the better.
I am starting to get into custom keyboards and your channel has popped up here and there. I got to the "for only $169....". It felt like an eternity, but the "nice" came at the perfect time and I immediately had to sub. Nice.

any updates? I ordered a keyboard tools set to mod the Wooting 60HE I ordered recently and wanted to mod my Redragon board first to get a feel for things since I can mess up on it without worrying much now. Did you find it worth your time to mod your old board?
My parents wont let me do tape mod because “it will get sticky” when i done every possible mod to my keyboard including lubing linear blues with vaseline💀 edit: i managed to sneak a role of tape into my room and did the tape mod, thanks hipyo :)
so... um... did you ever try filling a case with... like... candle wax? Like pouring melted wax to make it fill up all the corners and then cooled down. Maybe then do the tape mod to save the pcb from scratching the wax out?
I'm 2 months after but I chose a 75% and can maybe answer you! I don't use the numpad! I write my numbers with the numbers on the top personally. It's also what I got used too in the last 6 years on laptops although. I also didn't go for smaller simply because I actually use the F touches everyday, so I want them too
