In the description. I shared the link.

@@ahmadsultan2870 You have to donwload and install the app. Go to global.machenike.com/products/k500 and download the control center.

Nice vid! Quick question, can i use the pe foam that came with the keyboard packaging for the pe foam mod? My K500 arrives tomorrow and I'll mod it as soon as I get it. Update: Did the case foam mod, tape mod, band-aid mod (on the plate, i also left the stock stabs as it is as I have no available lubes on hand), foam mod on the spacebar, installed akko crystal blues and pbt matcha keycaps. Now it looks and sounds so much better compared to stock.

@MandoRevs 4 месяца назад

Yes you can use any PE foam.

@TheBigP_ 16 дней назад

damn sounds good

@jsalguero7794 6 месяцев назад

Amazing transformation!! Is it worth just to add Eva foam, tape, pe foam and the switches foam?

@MandoRevs 6 месяцев назад

Yes. You can also just do the EVA foam, tape mod and switch and stabilizer mod. That will already made a huge difference from the stock unmodded keyboard.

@jsalguero7794 6 месяцев назад

@ahappypotato8340 2 месяца назад

How did you manage to put holes in the PE foam at 7:38 ? did you manually put holes for each pins or did you ram a switch into it

@MandoRevs 2 месяца назад

Used soldering iron to melt the foam and make small holes. Hehe 🙃

@Mica-ys9nm 6 месяцев назад

Hi! Amazing video!! I got a question, if you don't mind, kinda new to modding. What did you do to the stabilizers? Did you cut something?

@MandoRevs 6 месяцев назад

Yes I did cut the stabilizer feet and lubed it. Check this video about stabilizer mods. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4XCErBcn5lc.htmlsi=9DDJmQZJYT3betAb

@nelsquick746 6 месяцев назад

Hi, very nice mod! I plan to buy one but do you know if we can reverse the keys to use it in Azerty? Thank you!

@MandoRevs 5 месяцев назад

I think so because the keyboard has a software you can customize the keys and functions.

@zzzzzzazzzzzz 5 месяцев назад

Hey, nice work! Do you know if I can change the layout to ABNT2 (Brazilian)?

@MandoRevs 5 месяцев назад

I think so because you can customize your key layouts using the software.

@gab882 2 месяца назад

did you mod the switches? i noticed the pcbs for these cheap mechanical keyboards don't' have the 2 holes on the sides for most of the switches out there.

@MandoRevs 2 месяца назад

Not mod, just lubed.

@nagusameta366 5 месяцев назад

Does changing the keycaps do more than modifying the switches? I only did tape mod and EVA foam so far, and it feels like the cheap noisy sound is reduced. I want to try PE Foam over the PCB too. And then switches + keycaps later after saving😆

@MandoRevs 5 месяцев назад

Yes changing the keycap does make a huge difference depending on the keycap brand and quality you use. The one I used are thick.

@nagusameta366 5 месяцев назад

@@MandoRevs Thank you! This keyboard is also just limited to 3-pin switches too, can't get access to the more modern ones, it's a shame :(

@soupap88 6 месяцев назад

nice modding, just wanted to ask you something, can i put akko switches on them if i wanted to replace the switches?

@MandoRevs 5 месяцев назад

I believe so as long as it's a 3 pin switch. Haven't tried though.

@Greg1096 2 месяца назад

my kailh switches wouldnt fit the sockets, the holes in the sockets for the pins are way smaller than the kailh pins

@ianimmanuelvasquez119 5 дней назад

Yes just cut the plastic pin to make the akko switches 3 pin compatible got lavender purples on same keebs

@levachefoo 6 месяцев назад

Hi How thick the foams have to be? Regards

@MandoRevs 6 месяцев назад

You can start with 2mm EVA foam and 0.5mm PE foam. You can also just disregard the PE foam.

@Fred11101 3 месяца назад

How thick is Eva foam? I'm scared if I buy a 2mm one and the case won't close

@MandoRevs 3 месяца назад

Mine was 2mm I believe. I forgot.

Hi. Does it make sense to add o-rings to this modding?

@MandoRevs 5 месяцев назад

Very minor to no difference. I didn't put mine with o-rings. I think they're useless.

@ChinchillaBONK 3 месяца назад

What's the difference between the k500 and k600? Thinking of dabbing my hands in the the mecha keyboard rabbit hole and want to try something cheap first. K600 is only like 10 bucks more and seems newer

@MandoRevs 3 месяца назад

Sorry don't know for sure but I think its the wireless/bluetooth connectivity. I don't own the K600.

@ramtsin 26 дней назад

Pcb holes too small for gateron switches. Did anyone tried using other switches with this pcb?

@carlosfernandez8559 21 день назад

Me and a friend tried to mod it with gaterons and him with kailh too and the holes of the plastic pcb are a bit smaller than in other keyboards, i think with a file tool we could make big the holes but is a lot of work.

@_7hN 4 месяца назад

is that a regular masking tape?

@MandoRevs 3 месяца назад

Yep regular masking tape. You can also use painters tape. Whichever is available for you.

@victorwaden 3 месяца назад

Need added keycup rings more and do best experience 😊

@MandoRevs 3 месяца назад

I have those and didn't use it. It made no difference. Maybe it will on thin keycaps. I have thick ones.

@PedroAndrade25 5 месяцев назад

I'm trying to replace a swtich and that thing refuses to come out. Do I need a tool like yours to do it? Because the one that came with keyboard ain't working for me.

@MandoRevs 5 месяцев назад

Yeah the switch puller that came with the keyboard is too weak. Those switches are really hard to pull. You need to buy or use those metal type pullers.

@samuronindh7961 5 месяцев назад

You can just use the included switch pullers. You have to use a bit more force when gripping the switches (push the top side & bottom side towards each other harder) though before pulling them out. I damaged almost half of my switches' plastic covering before I realised what I was doing wrong

@shannhanz4230 3 месяца назад

You can also remove the whole keyboard pcb and just push the keys out, i find that easier and therapeutic compared to wrestling with the keys

@PedroAndrade25 3 месяца назад

@@shannhanz4230 I finally got it out, it took a lot of tries and I had to do it horizontally because the grip on the vertical wasn't tight enough.

How did you get the top plastic plate off 2:03? I spent hours trying to remove it and nothing :(

After removing the screws, use thin flat screw driver to pry the corners. It has a small locking latch thing in the corners.

you're not supposed to pull them out like that, switches have a clip you press for them to let go of the plate.
