  • What's up everyone? Hope you enjoyed the video, I think the mods I did to this keyboard make it sound and look amazing! I still think for $50 there aren't as many prebuilt keyboards that are as decent as this one in 2022. That said, is it worth your time to mod to look and sound good like I did? Or just buy something a little more expensive? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below! Also links to everything I used or the mods is listed below!
    I really appreciate all the support I've gotten on these keyboard videos, my first one has nearly 3K views thanks to you guys! If you're new here, welcome! And stick around, I will be putting together the NK65 entry edition next week! So if that interests you, consider subscribing and I'll see you next time!
    Also if you are interested, follow me on Twitch: / pickbrandon
    I've been playing some fun games lately, some come hang out!

    This is Awesome! I’m planning on building my 2nd board before going to college, and after watching this I definitely want to do these mods you put into it. Production quality of both the board and video are outstanding, keep up the great work!!

      That is really kind of you thank you! When I am making some of these videos I tend to think the opposite, but I'm just super critical on myself. So thank you or the support, it means a lot!

    Make sure to get RK G68 and not the RK68 Model, since RK68 only supports wired and poopy Bluetooth mode which is terrible for both typing and gaming. RK G68 on other hand has bigger battery and supports 2.4Ghz Wifi Dongle connection along side with BT and Wire. 2.4Ghz is best wireless connection with no latency in my use.

    I just got this in the mail today. I tried connect via blue tooth and via wire connection and it won’t connect. With a wired connection it shows on my Bluetooth devices on pc, but still won’t type. Any ideas?

    Hey can you recommend the gasket mod over tray mount? What are pros and cons of each?
    Thanks

    • @pickbrandon5583
      @pickbrandon5583  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey thanks for watching! So the way to choose the best mount is deciding if you like a stiffer typing experience (tray mount) or a bouncier and more flexible typing experience (gasket mod).

    • @conutux722
      @conutux722 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      tray mount=inconsistent sound, hard feeling
      gasket mount=clean, isolated sound, bouncy feeling

    the rk68 pro is a better deal, it is all aluminum so its rock solid and heavy and it comes with pbt keycaps and gateron switches all for 75 bucks on amazon

    • @ProphitDesigns
      @ProphitDesigns 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wrong. While aluminum is cool, for budget boards like these that need O-Ring mounting mods to make them sound any decent, you can't really modify the usb cut out or remove the stand offs on an aluminum case to compensate for the extra play from the gummy o ring.
      Aluminum cases are good when the keyboard is already designed to reduce pinging which is more typical in higher end boards. Just slapping an aluminum case on a top mounted board like the RK68 pro will just mean there isn't a whole lot you can do to reduce pinging with dampening mods.

    • @7.62x25mm
      @7.62x25mm 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      wrong the rk68 pro has a daughter board so the usb port wont be affected. the worst that will happen it youll keycaps will sit a little higher. People have done this to the tofu so they can definitely to it to this board.

    • @7.62x25mm
      @7.62x25mm 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      also the rk is tray mount not top mount
