I tried making my voice more lively for this video but I think I forgot I was doing it toward the middle then remembered it again toward the end lol. Speaking to the camera continues to be a struggle.
Great video, it's always more fun to see budget boards modded then 'custom' new boards that are just fine stock. I wish you had also posted a sample of with PE foam that you said you disliked. It would have been nice to hear the comparison with and without. Different amounts/thicknesses of PE foam make a big difference. I have been using some very thin PE foam when modding some cheap boards recently with an "enhanced" tape mod (3x masking + 3x packing tape) and found that it really enhances things, removing any kind of rattling, but without giving that overpowering PE foam sound. You can see in the most recent video I posted, that board has PE foam and tape mod, but the switches sound very distinctly different.
Yeah I did the tape before the PE and I got lazy since I'd have to remove the tape and then put it back on to make a valid comparison so I just added the PE and the difference wasn't huge. Just sounded a bit more static-y. I'll have to check out the video you mentioned. Sounds interesting. Thanks for stopping by 😊
@@CaloysKeyboards You totally could have just done a Tape Mod w/ PE vs without, but I know it's a pain having to remove all the switches and disassemble the board to put in PE foam. Keep up the good work! I love what you do with the visualizations when you're comparing sounds.
Great video. I similarly decided to breath some life into my old tofu that’s been collecting dust by doing the gummy o-ring mod. It’s great except nothing has been able to remedy the hollowness in the left side mods so I’m hoping that maybe a silicone mod will do the trick.
Probably not since I already reviewed the R1. I try to diversify. Try as many boards as I can since money is limited. Love my R1 though and the new colors look great hehe

love the content, just speak more casually! I feel the struggles
I think you do just fine dude, be you! I dislike it when people "fake" how they speak. Keep up the good work.
Wake up babe new Caloy just dropped
I love watching videos where budget boards are transformed to sound and feel great ♥
TKL gang rise up
Yass really fun to do as well! 😊

Love the sound of the keyboard esp the stabilizers.
Thank you! 🙏
This might be the most drastic difference I have ever heard with the tape mod.... wow.

Thank you! Should be a piece of cake with a Tofu since it's just one big cavity hehe
Didn't know the XM87 was southfacing! Great mods and video as usual sir Caloy! :)
Thank you! Yeah, I think there are different versions. I remember seeing a video with a north-facing one hehe
Dude! We had the same first keyboard! That's amazing, the mention of the Kimat XT.LE threw me back damn 💀
Nice! Loved that board! Gave it my little bro hehehe
@@CaloysKeyboards nicee! Hope he loves it as much as you did haha.
Nice! Wanna try it someday!
hey caloy are you going to try the kbd67lite R3? its looking like one of the best budget board for that price range
Probably not since I already reviewed the R1. I try to diversify. Try as many boards as I can since money is limited. Love my R1 though and the new colors look great hehe
where did you buy this keeb?
On Shopee Philippines but I'm pretty sure it's not available anywhere anymore.
Dude can yu check out jwicks yellow or red saw then from Lucid Video
I'll look into it but probably not any time soon. I've got way too many switches already lols
