Today, I'm doing a video on I Tried EVERY Type of Tape for The TAPE MOD. In this video, I am tape modding a keyboard to find out which type of tape is the BEST for the keyboard tape mod. In this tape mod keyboard tutorial, I test all kinds of tape, such as, Gorilla tape, Duck tape, painters tape, Scotch tape, packing tape, and MORE to find the best tape for the tape mod. I show tape mod vs no tape mod, and I also do back to back sound tests of each mechanical keyboard tape mod so that you can also decide for yourself what is the best tape for the tape mod.

@adhdhikaru Год назад

painter’s tape and masking tape are the least likely to leave residue, but scotch tape would probably be not horrible to remove as long as it’s like, less than 2 years old or so and kept in a cool place. packing tape would be a 50/50 in terms of removal since the adhesive is strong but similar to scotch. duct tape and electrical would definitely be the worst to remove after a while: duct tape because of the strength of the adhesive and electrical because it tends to leave residue after a while no matter what you do. regardless of the type of tape you use, for optimal removal you’d keep it in a cold, dry place to reduce the stickiness of the adhesive and prevent humidity from making it worse.

@calebnguyen7348 Год назад

The big problem with most of these tapes is the adhesive. Do you think it would be wise to use a layer of painters tape THEN add duct tape. I'm not sure if it'll have that duct shape sound though if implemented

You should make another video comparing the best from thocky to clacky just like your akko switch video. More of a concise and straight to the point kind of guide like you did with the akko switches. Also maybe mention putting masking/painters on the first layer to prevent shorting your PCB

@dayannahkali Год назад

Cool video. As mentioned by others, I would be concerned about the adhesive. Painter or masking tapes are unbelievably durable. I have books from my father who used to repair them with masking tape, from forty years ago, and it is still like, you know... paper. Still well taped. On the other hand I have seen electric tape and scotch tape age very badly. Even strong tapes like ductape can finish in a messy slime over time. All that said, there is also bad masking tape which become dry and peel off too, so buy good brands. What you do not want is sticky paste all over next time you decide to mod your board, or worse, some corrosive compound on your precious expansive switches and PCB.

@albertko1 Год назад

I know it's a quite a bit more expensive but Tesa Tape is in automotive applications is basically a high quality electrical tape that is nylon or "felt" backed. It's probably irreversible due to the strength of the adhesive unless you use a base layer of painters tape. It would be similar to gluing felt or braided nylon to the back of the pcb. If you're crazy and willing to risk shorting out the board, they do make aluminum tape for ductwork. Would again probably need a base layer of painters or other light adhesive non-conductive tape to make it work. The material of the tape will change the frequencies that pass through down to the case.

I never bothered doing a sound dampening mod to the keyboard cause I liked the sound with just the two mods I did. I do have a full size mouse pad on my desk which covers the entire desk.

@suguruogawa Год назад

I have also experimented with most of these types of tapes, and these are my findings 👍 Electrical tape - Rubbery and stretchy plastic. Makes the sound more rounded and dare I say creamy, but doesn't make the sound much deeper compared to others. I personally really like this for creamy builds. [Creamy and soft] Masking/Painters tape - Paperm like material. Only difference between masking and painters is typically the thickness, so makes sure to add a layer or two more of masking tape because it is a bit thin. Overall, the sound that these make are very well rounded. It makes the sound softer, and also more poppy. It also makes the board a lot deeper. [Best all around tape] Packing tape - Plastic material. One of the deepest sounding ones, but be sure to add a layer of maskign tape before adding this, beucause it will short your pcb and render your board useless. Although it makes the board deeper, it isn't as good at rounding the sound off, so it sounds a bit more sharp and poppy. One con of this though is that it can make the board slightly resonant, hollow and pingy in some cases becuase of the plasticky nature of it.[Deep, a bit hollow and poppy] Duct tape - Plastic on cloth reinforcement. Very similar to packing tape, but in my opinion slightly deeper because of the thickness. If you are applying duct tape, follow the same rules as packing tape, and also add less layers, as it is pretty thick. [Deepest, poppy] Scotch tape - In between paper and plastic. In my opinion it is an acceptable alternative if you only want a slight difference in sound. It makes the board poppier and louder, but doesn't affect the pitch of the board. This can be attributed to it's thinness [Poppy] Cloth tape - Made of cloth. Makes the sound a bit deeper, and is also very thick. Not recommended, as it doesn't affect the sound as much as the others. It adds a slightly tacky, sharp and honestly flat sound(As if the sound is wave is shortened). [Flat sound] My rating from deepest to clackiest Duct tape, Packing tape, Masking/Painters tape, Scotch tape, Cloth tape, Electrical tape Creamiest to poppiest Electrical tape, Masking/Painters tape, Duct tape, Packing tape, Scotch tape, Cloth tape @me if you have any more questions!! 😁

So in this case, I'm gonna put a layer of masking tape and then 1 or 2 layers of packing tape. Will do this when my keychron q1 v2 arrives. Thx for the experiment.

Please review Redragon Brahma k586!! Ive been asking for a while and i eant to know what you think about it?

@calvinyip364 Год назад

yeah, lots of tape cant be used due to the strong adhesive it will pull out the diode as well as produce static that's why it is rarely used. Yeah it may sound goo dbut it is a very bad idea imo it could literally destroy the board. But to be honest i rather mod normally and then mod cheap board so it can sound creamy and nice with the foam mod etc. Thought of using electrical tape. But I found something called washi tape? by Nippon which is literally made out of paper or something. I bought their washi tape and painter's tape. Never tape mod before so if i gonna use i gonna try the washi tape first and see what happends. Than again both of these tapes aren't adhesively strong so it can be peel off easily without leaving any or little residue

Do you tape mod premium boards? I'm talking an about the ones that cost $400+ . I have a couple coming and it seems like I'll be butchering the board by adding tape.mod

I used black hockey stick tape on mine and quite like the sound! My switches are mid and it still made a huge difference in the sound.

For fire hazards with duct tape, the tape needs to withstand 200 Fahrenheit before being packaged and sold!

@3D-DOMO 7 месяцев назад

It would be interesting to see the dry wall tape first then something like the painter's tape because the drywall tape kinda has hills and valleys so to speak "texture" then the painter's tape so actually block the holes in it. could create like a pseudo acoustic foam with the ridges and what not. because for acoustic foam you dont want flat as youl see on any acoustic foam.

@tamegaming1768 Год назад

Wow, I didn't expect to like packing tape that much. The board that solidified my appreciation of the tape mod was my Tiger80. So many flex cuts that if you want any real sound you gotta tape the cuts or the whole pcb

@ilovestickystuff Год назад

Isnt it conductive

@concernedcitizen6313 Год назад

As he mentions a ways into the video, you should really double check the conductivity of the tapes you're interested in experimenting with. Scotch tape isn't insulated and so can be conductive. This may be why people say "Don't use packing tape!" It's not a statement of sound, but rather a sound statement! That said, I find myself wondering about layering different tapes. So, perhaps you could put a later of painter's tape on the PCB and then a layer of Scotch tape on top of that, using the painter's tape to block the PCB from the Scotch tape.

@Maschine_Elf 6 месяцев назад

Line the case with soft side velcro tape, silicone the back of the PCB for the least mess and most dampening. Puts any of these to shame.

watching this vid because i don't have access to painter's tape, and i'm scared that although regular ol' scotch tape sounds better, it might be dangerous or damage the board if taken off or not applied well. can anybody help me out here?

Only use non conductive painters tape. Other tapes will destroy your board.

Is it possible for a fire to start if I use a bad tape?

@XLRZ. Год назад

I should mention the tape I want to use is the double sided x-press it tape. But I don’t know if it’s conductive and can’t find anything about it be conductive or non conductive.

@xcatpatrolx Год назад

if its conductive it will kill your board with no fire. if your keeb has a battery, dont use a tape thats papery like painters tape because that WILL catch fire. hope this helps
