What's up Gamers my name is Brownie. I got into the keyboard hobby during quarantine and have been in love ever since. Join me on my journey to find my end game board while I try out different switches, keycaps, cases and more!
For people asking questions: I haven't owned this keyboard in 2 years. After modding it in another video, I gave it away to a friend and it still holds up. Unfortunately I cannot answer most questions about this keyboard, (especially technical questions) and most details are available in this review or in the product description, linked in the description of this video.
@@JaysWRLDX I never said it was silent anywhere in the video, in fact I mentioned it being loud and clicky so I guess I just don't really understand your comment.
Out of the box, the feet don't lift the keyboard high enough, I wind up hitting keys I don't want to hit. I did design (3D printed) extensions that lift the keyboard higher and now I don't hit keys other than the keys I want to hit.
It looks fine but is also cheap compared to other keyboards at the same price. The lighting doesn't seem as bright as them but I'm also hesitating about whether to get this one. Hmm...
Totally appreciate this video. I know nothing about modding keybs and this was very direct to the point and easy to follow. My takeaway though is that I’m just gonna get someone to do it for me 😂 I KNOW I can now mod my own keyboards, but this is too much effort haha! Kudos!
I was planning on ordering this a week ago since my budgets small but I didn't want a crappy keyboard so this review helped me make my decision to order this, keep it up cheers
I haven't personally used this board since the review, but I modded it and gave it to my dad who has used it nearly every day since. Board still works perfectly and performs the same as it did day 1. Anything specific you wanted to know?
@@BrownieBuilds Hey thanks so much for replying. That is great to hear! I was a bit skeptical due to the low price. What do you mean by modded? is there a way to make the keyboard sound a bit more "premium"?
@@Richardfan01 Yeah, basically adding foam, soldering in different switches, and lubing stabilizers to improve the overall typing experience of the keyboard. I made a tutorial here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-czcpJUXKSLY.html&ab_channel=BrownieBuilds
Do you find any difference to the RGB brightness before and after installing the PE foam? I’m wondering if the foam will cover up the RGB lighting too much..
Nope! The foam is thin enough that for the LEDS its practically like its not there. If you are worried about losing some of that RGB its worth cutting out a small hole around where each LED slot is, or alternatively installing PE Foam stickers which already have those cut outs for you: thockpop.com/product/pe-foam-switch-pads/
You can add foam into the case, do the tape mod, use a syringe to add lube to the stabilizers, and technically lube the switches without desoldering, though it won't be as consistent. You can also change out the keycaps too!
Got this keeb for like around 19usd since im from the Philippines and I challenged myself to mod it since its not hot swap. Lets just say I'm absolutely shit at soldering
