i just got RK84 today but for Europe market. As company says they added sound dumping and pre lubed switches, i honestly can't believe how good it sounds and feels as a stock one. I bought it to mod it but i will definitely use it like this for some time :D
It wobbles because you likely tightened the plate screws too much, which can cause this. This is usually the result of there being a little bit too much sound dampening material in the case, which doesn’t allow the plate and pcb to mount fully. Release the screws on the sides it wobbles and it will become level again.
I just bought the RK61 and i find out that the spacebar,backspace,tabs, and shift sounds terrible but other keys such as qwerty makes decent thock sound with the stock. I may be thinking of buying a ajazz kiwi switches to make the spacebar sound better lol its kinda annoying
switches arent gonna do much to make a spacebar better, i mean yeah sure the pitch and smoothness is gonna change but the insane amount of rattle is still gonna be there
i did the holle mod with duck tape it worked amazing also try putting a little plastic wrap it the stem holes on your stabs it removes rattle and it doesn't feel mushy!
incredible job with this build. this is probably the best modded rk61 ive ever heard and seen. also idk why everyone is saying the stock version sounds good, IT DOESNT.
@@floppyguyplays7954 Exactly. Nice of you to acknowledge that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and admitting that you do have an opinion on which you're judging sounds.
for me it just took a piece of foam and some lubbing to make it sound amazing my keyboard came with pretty much no lube, so it was quite scratchy when typing, but after doing that and adding some foam to the space bar and replacing the given foam with my foam i was able to dampen the sound and make it sound really good and feels so much better to type on no longer do i feel the recoil when typing with my hand and no longer does it feel like i am typing on a hard surface though one issue is that after modding it the on and off switch along with the bluetooth to dongle switch is very difficult to reach i now have to use my pinky nail to turn it on, so I hope in the future they make the switch a bit longer
The german version, (QWERTZ) with the rk reds is actually not bad, the spacebar sounds pretty good, but its 80€ which is bad for a keyboard, that's not that good
What does each stabilizer mod do? Like, why do you clip them like that and what's the purpose of lubing both the plastic and metal parts, AND with different lube at that?
Can’t use the same lube on stabilizers that you use on switches - a thin lubricant is needed for switches, and a thick lubricant is needed for stabilizers. Lubing stabilizers eliminates rattle and ticking, overall improving the sound by an insane amount. Rattle is usually what makes stock keyboards sound so absolutely terrible. Hope that helps!
will it still sound okay if I just use the same stock stuff and only change the keycaps and switches but not lube it anything? I am a beginner so yeah.
Did you keep the battery in after doing the tape mod or did you put the case foam in between the battery and the tape. I just bought an rk61 and want to know if a fire is still a risk even if there is foam in between the tape and the foam.
Quick question I have NO idea how to do any of this. I have the keyboard and after 2 years im almost ready to throw it away and get a new one. If I sent it to you with the money could you upgrade it with the same mods for me?
@@OHOE1 rk61 is probably better if you're on a tighter budget because it's 10 dollars cheaper for a bit better value (crappy keycaps and crappy switches, but the keycaps will be good enough for tight budgets)
Love my modded RK61 as well! Did packing foam inside the case, Akko Matcha Green V1's, holee mod and lubing of stabs and a Matcha Green keycap set. For less than $80 I have a really solid gaming board
I currently have Ziyoulang K87 mech and moded my keeb with Tape Mod (Packing tape for PCB; 4 layers & bottom housing; 2 layers) and one O ring in each stem or post on the bottom housing of the board. My keyboard is thoccier and deeper than stock (which the stock sounds great tbh). But I want to switch my Jixian Reds to Outemu Switches. Do you have any recommendations on deeper and THOCCier sounding Outemu Switches or similar to them? I got 3 pin north facing led Jixian Reds.
Unfortunately both of my rk61's are non hotswappable so I can't do these. Luckily I found a sellout deal on the GMMK compact so im planning on modding it
WAIT!!!!! i do own this same RK61 keyboard with brown swithes but mine DOES NOT sound like the one in this video. Mine feels like they have a satisfying THOK to them. I have not done any mod to them NOTE: i am not tryimg to attack you in any sort of way, I am just curious. I have no hate against you
lol the rk61 is better then razers full lineup of keyboards , ive spent hundreds on razer boards , this rk61 stock feels and sounds better then razer , the razers have really rattly stabs and sounds cheep fkn i paid $240 cad for a black widdow mini v3 wireless 60% a year ago and used it for a year and its just bad :(
Bruh changing the switches is almost changing the whole keyboard. Thats were most of the sound comes from and for changing the swithces would be better to get a whole different keyboard
