Welcome to Keybored! THE GK61 - The Entry Keyboard that COULD! O-Ring Mod for Sound and Feel
Ever since the start of my channel, the one keyboard video that got the most amount of interest was how I O-Ring Modded the TOFU65 for that crisp and even sound and feel.
Since that TOFU65 video, there has been a lot of requests to visit the GK series of keyboards, and the GK61 especially for its ubiquitous presence in the entry keyboarding hobby. For good reason too! This is a very accessible 60% custom keyboard that provides many an opportunity to enter the keyboarding hobby. When I came back from a long keyboard hiatus, this was also one of the first keyboards I grabbed to check out what all the new "hype" was all about.
So you asked, and I did it! It's been a while since I had a GK61 in my hands, so I had to reach out to Banggood to send me a new GK61 Kit. Check out what happens to the GK61 once it gets some O-Ring Love, Plate and Case Dampening, Keybored Style!

Was on the fence on this kit for the longest time, but I think you convinced me to just go and build it.

Great job, the final build sounds incredible!

I built a custom GK61 optical a couple years ago, and it's still going strong. GK61 optical barebones kit + lubed Gateron optical blacks + fully modded Zeal plate mount stabs + Razer shine through PBT keycaps. Sounds like butter! And the optical switches have more of a clacky sound, which I love.

Just finished doing the o-ring mount mod on my GK96 and the difference is very noticeable, both in sound and feel. Ended up using 5 of the 9 screws (the side ones) with o-rings and even though it is not really flexible, it does feel less stiff. The biggest diffetence was sound wise, a lot more poppy and less reverb

Interesting thing to note- if you buy the non-bluetooth version, the GK61X, it still comes with the exact same PCB (so it still has bluetooth functionality) just missing the battery. The battery connector & the spot in the case are both still there, so theoretically, you could buy an aftermarket battery and make it wireless down the track

Thank you :)) P.S If this ever happens to you, go to your nearest phone repair shop or any electronics reapair shop and ask them If they could fix it. I paid like 10$ for a new port and soldering (it took them about 20 minutes to fix)

GK61XS owner here (X for the split spacebar option and S for bluetooth). I run mine with lubed+filmed Durock Dolphin switches and some cheap keycaps I bought from china, and it sounds amazing already. I dampened it using some cut up pieces of a cotton t-shirt I had laying around, but I might pour a silicon damper soon. Haven't O-ring modded mine and still running all the standoffs but I might try it soon, seems like there's some more improvement possible :D To be fair though I feel like dampening + good switches does the most for this board, but I'll see if I notice improvement with O-ring and standoff removal By the way: the stock stabilizers aren't that bad, I lubed mine and clipped the stems and they don't really rattle much anymore, even though my spacebar started rattling a bit on the left side a few days ago so I might have to look into that

I feel you have some of the best keyboard content on RU-vid but for some reason when I recommend you to friends your channel doesn't turn up in their searches 🤔
@Keybored
@Keybored 3 года назад
Hi Benedict! I think it's the RU-vid spelling correction... When you type in "Keybored" it shows results for "keyboard" instead. You need to press "show results for Keybored" instead just below it, and it should show the channel!

I got it as my second board (First one is Yankee KAtana crappy board). Ušed some packing foam between top plate and pcb, some foam inside, lubed everything with pure silicone, same type that you can get in spray and it is buttery smooth and thocks like crazy, the whole market with lubes is kinda nonsense, btw most of that stuff can be bought for RC cars and it has even bigger range of viscosity, etc. :D Lovely to atleast hear the difference, since i started unboxing with complete removal of everything. Already knew about hollow sound. Took me 1 hour to open and lube all switches, 20 minutes to put it back together with all the foam mods and precise cuts. I used the top plate as a guide and traced it on the foam. :) I will add the o-rings in future, they are on the way, somewhere in the shipping circle. :D

I was thinking doing this mod to my gk61 after watching your oring mod tofu, so glad you did this video, I'm just curious since you mentioned the space bar were hard mount to the case, what if I put oring on the space bar mounting points too?
@Keybored
@Keybored 3 года назад
Hi ZL _! You definitely can do the o-ring mount under the spacebar also! It will help to dampen the sound a bit more and reduce that hard bottom out!

@Keybored
@Keybored 3 года назад
Hi randy! I don't use too many silent switches (I like to make lots of noise when I type lol). But I have had a few builds that the user specifically wanted silents. Overall, I like a crisp and clean feel from my switches, and the dampening inside the silent switches made them feel mushy to me. However, doesn't mean I won't use them in a video in the future! I can try to do a build on a dead silent keyboard :) Maybe the GMMK pro will be a good fit with a silent switch, since that keyboard is just so oddly muted...

Hi Brenn! That should work as well! Just make sure not to have the o-ring pop out, since the 4mm one may be slightly bigger than the screw hole and tightened down!

How can I tell that the o ring mount mod makes a difference because I did plate foam and oring both so I cannot tell if oring mod makes a difference. Is this a difference in feel of the switches that the plate foam doesn't give? Is it supposed to give more flex? If so, how much?
