I agree on ditching the stock switches instead of lubing them. Lubing makes a difference, but it doesn't really feel like a massive upgrade from stock. An added bonus is that you can keep the stock switches to make pseudo Creamerons.

One type of underrated case dampening I use in all of my builds is neoprene foam. Seems to add a sightly different sound compared to other types of dampening. Worth a try for anyone!

Much appreciated. This was the first mechanical keyboard I bought and now have three. I decided to give this one a go in terms of modding as, in part, the case has a lot of space to work with. I'll introduce the hobby to a friend of mine and if her son gets into it, have some recommendations for him. Heck, I may even send him my K530 Pro so he can start with that with little to no cost. If not, I'll keep working on it and may even opt to upgrade the stabilizers. I was lucky enough to be turned onto Akko switches about a week or so ago so have them for my Keychron V1 barebones w/ knob kit.

I use the non-pro version. KTT rose or KTT strawberries are super budget friendly ($0.24 to $0.40 per switch) and sound AMAZING. (KTT rose need to be lubed but they are cheaper and clackier (my preference over thock) - will need to clip the plastic pins Foam mod between plate and PCB Tape moded Cut off middle standoffs and ALL thin plastic supports (in the case) 2 layer penny mod secured with double-sided tape and painter's tape on top (my FAVORITE mod) Basic pudding doubleshots that I need to replace clipped and holee moded stabs sounds like night and day compared to stock

Personally, I would have use a bit of felt or similar semi-dense material in the bottom of the case. Plastic Cases like this are too thin and don't give you a good sound profile, so its probably for the best to attempt to leech some of that resonance. Neoprene/poron foam is better for deeper cases.

One thing I'm curious about case modding is that, is it ok to put foam or material contacted with the battery? I saw some people mentioned before that there are chances it could cause smoke or fire if no space are left in between the foam and battery. But I myself doubt that it could happen, at least at very low chance to occur. Any thoughts on this?

i’m not too sure if you’re talking about the same thing. I haven’t watched his rk84 video but i’m assuming the “tape” he placed on his pcb was either a PE foam mod (on pcb between plate and switches) or a tempest tape mod (on the backside of the pcb). Both of these mods serve to improve the acoustics of the board and both have varying results and levels of difficulty. The tape hes done in 6:32 was on the plate of the board, which serves to reduce stabilisers wobble to reduce rattling noises. They are 3 completely different mods, and serve different purposes. In my opinion PE foam mod provides the greatest improvement in sound, while tempest mod is really easy and quick and helps bring out the sound better. The tape mod he’s done here on the plate is just to help reduce stabilisers wobble and doesn’t have much effect on the overall sound of the board( this is usually done in prebuilt boards like the redragon in this video as the stabilisers tend to be loose in the plate). As such, u probably wont need this mod if youre building a custom keyboard from scratch, but it’s useful for prebuilts.

Dampener added in between pcb and plate 3. Smaller pcb connector on the back of the board and its glued but you can still disconnect the wire by removing the glue I don't know if i should have done that but i added pe foam over the eva foam And also i did 1 layer of painters tape on the back of pcb But i still get a bad loud ping noise whenever i type Can someone help me ?
