Noice i will buy the keycaps
just so you know, on amazon that is Krytox 205g2, not 205g0... that might be why (even when lubed) your switches sound scratchy.
nice vid now tell me what's the name of the outro xd
I have the same keyboard except it's 71 keys if I'm not wrong. Maybe I'll give this a shot.
what about the foam that you use for the acoustic of the keyboard?

It feels like im watching a surgery rn ,I could never be this neat or accurate
2:40 i closed my eyes for a minute just to listen to that chill sound of Rain and relaxing music for a bit.
I wish the packaging was this nice when I got it a year ago
Anyways, this music seems too serious to be a squashy video
Agreed.
The music make me feel sleepy
I think some Oddloop would spice things up.

i know the keyboard just came in a cardboard box!

@@rhodhernaez480 i havent soldered anything yet, but i have a brief understanding that you're dealing with a very hot tool. The Fumes emitted from osuldering are toxic. And that you can easily f* up ypur pcb if you don't know what you're doing

the sound of the stabilizers is incredible
Man I watched this video pretty much when it came out because I was researching on keyboards back then, but then did nothing as life had other plans. Now today I wanted to watch this video again because I thought ut was insightful but couldn't find it as it was in no playlist of mine. After a lot of trial and error the search for keywords 'Keyboard Royal Kludge Banggood Solder' brought this video up, as I somehow remembered the keyboard brand and that it had banggood links in description
I was not expecting a video this calm, i used this for meditation lol
Dude i REALLY like this new editing style, its hella chill and relaxing. Hope you make more videos like this! :)
might get the original keyboard, it looks nice.

This looks like a 10 hour Japanese tea ceremony. But with kb parts. More Kimono needed, and folding of cloth too.
This is the first time you see Squashy:
-De-solder stuff
-litterally brought a set of tools (finally)
-And make a proper, plotted video
He just upload the video at 3am wtf
wtfk
This was incredibly helpful! Was watching tutorials for how to lube switches and immediately clicked on this from the side bar. I've been looking for some time now for a soldering kit that wasn't a bit expensive. Perfect video for the topic in my opinion. If I had to be nit picky, and it may be an identical process to installing a switch (in which case apologies for my ignorance), as someone who has never put stabilizers back into a board I couldn't help but notice that's about the only thing missing from this video.
why do you solder and de solder the switches
@@noahmiles543 so that the switches don’t move about that’s what solder is
I wish they did a low profile version of the RK61. That would be fire.
why was this so emotional bro 😭the music
wow bro, the calm and relaxing atmosphere that this video has makes me want to see more, pls build more keyboards like this, is good to see the quiet squashy
"I really like the keyboard!"
proceeds to take apart everypart one by one
Do you not know anything about keyboards it’s to make it better💀💀
@@cfxxarky6830 This is a joke
That space bar has to be the most satisfying thing ever.
why does it sound so nice
spacebar sound is soo good
I don’t understand this comment section’s problem with how he upgraded it. He kept the same RK switches, which aren’t very good, which is a big factor in an upgrade. He used the same plate, stabilizers, and the only large addition was the foam mod. This is one of the more minimal upgrades I’ve seen, he could have changed everything besides the case and called it an upgrade. Great video!
Squashy boy: Upgrading a 50$ keyboard.
Me: Using a membrane keyboard.
bruh that keyboard sounds so satisfying
As much as I love your usual silly meme-y content, I love this video a lot and hope you keep doing these at least semi regularly :)
I love the satisfying sound of the rain outside
New title: upgrading a 50 dollar kb with 50 dollar worth of stuff
Are you unfamiliar with what upgrading is
thats literally what upgrading is.
To be fair, I put about $80 into mine, since I had the hotswap model and so putting new switches in didn't even require fully disassembling the keyboard, simply pulling them out
In today's dosis of squashy boy:
how to make $50 keyboard worth $200
No offense but I'm hoping that you're joking, after modding this thing could only worth 70usd at its best, the switches in this keyboard arent good. The rk61 is only around 25-30usd here, and that keycaps set is only around 15usd. The lubricate and modding would takes hours but overall 20bucks at its best included the assemble fee. The stabilizer is not that good even after modding and the switches are not even worth lubing bc the difference is minor. Consider what a 200usd keyboard bring you (nk65 for 95 bucks, the alpacas for 50usd/70swtiches shipping included and some random keycaps set for 40usd +10usd lubricate and shipping fee) I think the experience will far more be better. Sorry if I'm being too serious

1:22 for some reason i love this part
when your upgraded $50 keyboard sounds better than your custom
Do the keyboard sounds change because of the foam pad at the bottom or not because I am planning to do so
@@phaecneom1984 a bit it just remove the hollowness from the keyb
this man just got a keyboard, demolished it, kept the metal piece, and made his own keyboard.
Ok so basically what you did was you lubed everything.
and added something for the sound and added nice keycaps
he added lubed the switches and stabs, added foam and new keycaps not THAT new
it is the same when building your custom keyboard except that disassembly is needed in this case.
@@oozma1292 i thought they were the same switches just lubed
@@Daniel-dj7fh oops you’re right, my bad
A video where Squashy Boy is serious and explains that matter in a calm environment? I love this! More of this please.
this video is suspiciously calming I expected something chaotic to happen like in how to basic
you make me not regret buying this keyboard impulsively
You can fill any half decent keyboard with silicone, put good lubed switches and keycaps in it and have a winner.
Don't let the custom people's rationalization of how much money they spent get to you. You can have 90% of what they have besides looks.
It's a sudden questions but which foam I should choose for my rk61?
Eva, neoprene or silicone?
And also how to remove the rattle sounds?
@@findingjapanartist9836 by lubing and clipping ur stabs
@@coronafreiemail953 tks mate
Yes! A lot of people in this hobby are so detached from reasonable pricing that they see a custom TKL kit for $500 and think “oh that’s pretty cheap.” I have a GK61 that I’m quite proud of because I modded it so much that it sounds and feels higher end, and I didn’t have to spend hundreds to do it. I hope more beginners in this hobby see these comments and understand that they can have excellent keyboard experiences without spending an entire paycheck.
idk why i decided to come back to this video that i never watched to come back to, but this is the squashy boy video of all time
Only here because i customized my board with the same caps
When I eventually get a new keyboard I'm planning on doing those on a gmmk (not pro)
Its 5:24am. Im just browsing TH-cam. And i see the keycaps i bought back in January for my Pink Razer Black Widows. Then i see the cheap key board i got for my work PS4 😂 only difference is my Royal Kludge is Blues not reds. I split the key caps and kept only the letters for this key cap set on the Royal Kludge and the Spacebar and all the exterior keys on my Razer. The mix of the Teal and Pink keys looks so nice

*I'm about to start this mans whole career*
Honestly for $50 the royal kludge is a valid option
I like the old look way more, because it's just minimalistic white without some corals

Those keycaps are beautiful

Squashy Boy: $50 Cheap keyboard
Me: Watching this as i eat the McDonalds 1 dollar menu
If koifishu saw this video he's gonna talk non stop about the plant...
woah i had the exact same keyboard and ended up buying the exact same keycaps that were used to upgrade it in the video before i even watched this
Jeez that is a huge difference

I tried this and it was epic but then on my birthday my parents got me a new keyboard so it was kinda a waste of my time but I’m glad it went well for you :)
1:31 Just me who keeps on flinching?
Project Loki is awesome looking
i actually have those keycaps. personally i think its a 10/10. it was worth buying it
You can upgrade this keyboard way easer because there is a hot swap model
It's not an upgrade, it's just a whole new keyboard lol
not really as he used the same parts besides the keycaps and added foam
3:15 'Clip off the sharp parts of the stabilizer'
*Camera proceeds to blur everything*
Is that DJ Genkis's song Sunshine in the outro?!?! I love that song.
This feels like a HowToBasic video where he starts off calm and minimalistic and then suddenly he goes Pepega 4head Crazy
