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

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

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 have a GK61XS and I can’t get a holee mod on the stabs and it’s frustrating. Those stabs sound AWESOME though and I have everything else done. This was a great and super helpful video.

Haha yeah the holee mod is definitely tricky the first time... The bandaid wants to stick to everything and not go where it needs to. But after a few tries, it definitely does get easier! Don't give up!

Oh I recently just built the gk61 with gat yellows but I didn't film or use o rings. This actually sounds amazing lol. btw I think there is a typo at your 11:10 timestamp chapter (it says "liners" but i think you meant "linears")

Have you tried any silent switches or plan to do any videos relating to them? Love your content man, keep it up :)

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...

Hey I was wondering if those keycaps that you used for the drop ctrl have any intererance with holy pandas on the gk87? Also love the vids!

holy pandas have long stem pole, so you wont have any interference on cherry profile keycaps

Hi Sounak! Unfortunately, the GK87 has a different mounting system, but that keyboard turned out nice with some mods as well!

Love it! Have you thought about trying this build with a half plate, or swapping it with another material plate?

I have another plate, but never had a chance to put it on! Brass and carbon fiber actually. But I feel the steel plate will be similar to the brass and CF is pretty clacky.

If the stars align I might be getting one of these stupid cheap, enough so that I can get a nicer set of keycaps, or foam for the keyboard (I'm using an old moutse pad for the case deadening.) This will be my entry into optical, and 60%.

A little late to the party here but I just came across this very thing today.. the Gateron oil kings were made to work with N facing led + cherry profiles

At the 3:48 typing test, I didn't hear much switch interference, especially given its Cherry profile keycaps on a northfacing board and the switches are just Gateron Yellows, surprising

Yup! I think certain combinations actually work fine even north facing!
