@@DER3PY dampening the keycaps. It's those little rubber O rings you put on the stem of the keycap. They prevent you from actually bottoming out key strokes and absorb some of the sound from them. You can get them in varying stiffness as well so you can either have a solid bottom out feel or more of a squishy one.
You can remove the standoffs on the PCB by inserting the end facing the plate into the Wowstick (without any bit) and holding the nut on the other side with pliers! It's a good way to eliminate the hard spot between G and H.
Got myself the Epomaker S64S but the stabilizers and keys sound horrible ( Gateron Optical Red ), my spacebar sounds especially horrible so this helped me get the right things I need for the Lubing,clipping etc. Thanks a lot man been watching you for quite some time now and quite enjoy your content
I got one of these keyboards and replaced the switches with silent optical red switches with progressive springs and it's quickly become my favorite keyboard
Thanks, the effort you put in is definitely worth it for the end result. Is gonna help me so much. I hope you get the support and love you need, because you deserve it.
that sounds so sweet after lubing the switches and stabs! I have a suggestion for another video... Please take into consideration to lub a non custom keyboard for those of us who don't have the luxury of owning one via group buys etc. For example, Corsair gaming keyboards, Ducky keyboard, Durgods, Reddragon keyboards. I would love to see how they turn up if properly lubed, since most of the mentions keyboards are not hot swap and perhaps without desoldering. Many thanks!
Saw the first video for the sk64s and bought it the same day, received it yesterday and I did the exact same mod (well 98% the same) and it sounds lovely. The switches are so smooth now, better than my rk71 (spray lubed moded) keyboard. The only thing I could wish for now is to get the MiTo XDA canvas keycap set...
Great work mate keep It up I just ordered the parts for my first custom keyboard I'm going with kalih box whites and a geek gk64 thanks to your videos it's helped me get in to the custom keyboard community so ty ig
Funny enough I did this mod maybe two months ago on the same keyboard. the optical blacks don't sound bad at all. The keyboard was for my cousins bday present. Really a great starter keyboard considering the price, though i wish it was a mechanical switch
@@3ildcat its done!!! I also made a TH-cam video about it on my channel!!! (Thanks for the help :DDD) PS: They sound more like blue switches cause of my mic lol
@@colter7300 @:3ildcat Hey! I was wondering how this went for you. It doesn't look like the video is up anymore. I just purchased a SK64S and purchased the items needed to spray-lube the Gateron Black Optical Switches. I was wondering if either of you you had any tips/instructions for spray-lubing the switches! Is there a specific part I should try to spray into? I'm a bit nervous as I don't want to break the switches, but you make it look very simple in this video. Also, when you wipe the switches with the alcohol wipes, are you just making sure that there is no lube on the outside of the switch that would make contact with the PCB/case? Thanks for the videos you make!
@@charles_miner for mine I followed wildcats tutorials, the US super lube left my switches very inconsistent and broken, but I came back a few months later and now it works fine. Sorry for the late reply
It sounds so good man. Very nice... Can you show the difference that a warped stabilizer has compared to the ones that you have manually fixed? I really don't know the difference that it makes
Good afternoon! I bought an epomaker sk64s keyboard. Help me find a good manual for this device! Any questions about the operation: - how to view the remaining battery charge? - how to determine that the keyboard is fully charged? I am very much waiting for your answer. Thanks
Modded my SK64 in the same way. My spacebar still has a rattle to it and I cannot figure out from where its coming from. Stabs are clipped and lubed, band-aid mod, etc. There is still a noticeable click to it. Could it be the keycap fit to the stems? All my other stabs sound amazing.
Hey! I have the same keyboard but with the blue switches! I just recently got the hippo linear switches and was wondering if I needed to cut the stems off of them? Cause they won’t fit….
can you make a tilde (~) symbol on this keyboard? this is honestly my only concern buying it because every other key I need it carries already, but the tilde is too important. Also, what would be the shortcut for the tilde? Thanks for the video! Good job!
I'm curious, why does nobody that uses spray lube not spray it into a container and brush the switches with a size 00 brush, wouldn't this be far less messy and safe for lubing brown switches?
I'm trying to buy the same exact 1900mah polymer battery you showed in the video. If you don't mind could you tell me what the model number is? It should be on the battery. Thank you!

I think the best part about these is slowly seeing you progress at typing english
forever now I have always been trying to fix these stabilizers and now that i have seen you clip your things my spacebar sounds amazing thank you
I spray lubed my keyboard because of you
surprisingly good for a spray lubed keyboard
Planning on buying this keyboard, thanks for this video!!! ❤️ Love your content, keep up the great work.
Definitely a good keyboard. Its is pretty damn loud tho. I'd reccomend dampening the keycaps for sure no matter what you get

I was waiting this video....
Hope you are doing well.🥰😀🥰😀
I clipped the stabs and spray lubed my kemove shadow 61 with gateron yellows yesterday, such an inprovement
The sound is soo satisfying!
Ooooh I want it
Thank you a lot for comparing the Red and Black modded switches. I now defintely made my choice of going with the black ones.
bought this today and got it the same day. no regrets. It’s such a better keyboard than a razer keyboard. Affordable and hotswappable.
I. Giga Chad thank you for this amazing tutorial. You have proven to have my respect.
I always get asmr at these typing sound parts 😝🤓

Spray lubing if done correctly is very effective. Thank you for the instructions.
Though spray-lubing if done incorrectly can become fatal.
@@Gamer-jr2ry Just like desoldering to be fair

That was beautifully done. Love the sounds once the keys were lubed. Looked simple enough but not sure if I will give this a try with my SK66S
I knew it that you were going to apply your magic to this keyboard !!
I instaliked when I clicked on the video, but I almost clicked like again when I heard the results after the mods
7:35 Pff, I almost choked on tea!
Sorry for not watching in a while i have been on vacation but im glad that you are still doing the amazing things youre doing

this is a non custom keyboard btw. you can buy it at Alieexpres, banggood and other places. just to you know
awsome, thank you very much, it's very useful for me
You are amazing!!!!

Great :3
How did the spray lube hold up? Have any problems with it
Sounds sooo smooth
I wonder if you can convert a normal switch to an optical switch by switching out the bottom housing for an optical housing.
considering the contact leaves of mech switches, optical sensors of opt switches...
i might attempt this! it would be my first mechanical keyboard and mod!
오늘도 잘 보고 갑니당😁😁😁
So relaxing!
오늘도 고생이십니다 ㅎㅎ
This video made my Sk64 much better, aanddd also started with this hobby. Damn my every hard earned money are slipping away because of this hobby 😂
Sounds pretty good this one
niceu
Waiting for my SK61. Will try these mods cuz it sounds a lot better if you do them
Great work mate keep It up I just ordered the parts for my first custom keyboard I'm going with kalih box whites and a geek gk64 thanks to your videos it's helped me get in to the custom keyboard community so ty ig
Good choice, box whites are great clicky switches, but if you want a more thick and strong click go with box jades

your channel has inspired me to mod my own keyboard for the very first time! just a question, what typing test/website are you using??
Good luck!
In the description.
Damn, gonna do same with mine when it arrvies. So much improvement

That's so satisfying ❤️
i dont know how to explain it except the keyboard sounds like butter
I just KNEW the mod was coming XD
This is such tedious work 😶😶 I could never have the patience to do any of this ... damn !!
and that's just spray lubing!
This is awesome!
I also balance my cherry stabilizers - it really help minimizing rattle! Especially that really annoying rattle on one side
i think we can all agree the typing sounds are the best part of every video
Yes 💯💯💯
the before still sounds very good
It sounds so good man. Very nice... Can you show the difference that a warped stabilizer has compared to the ones that you have manually fixed? I really don't know the difference that it makes
You mean the wire?
Most small tik tik sounds from stabs are caused by the unbalanced wires.
@@3ildcat Really... Thats interesting... So the tik tik noise is easily fixable on a hot swap board... Pretty cool to know. Thanks a lot!
was in the middle of a wildcat spray lube marathon
Good afternoon!
I bought an epomaker sk64s keyboard.
Help me find a good manual for this device!
Any questions about the operation:
- how to view the remaining battery charge?
- how to determine that the keyboard is fully charged?

Nice job.... on the lube.
This gives me flashbacks of the sk61 video, classic
Fantastic

Why did I get the noti so late :( I just got it now
Believe it isnt late... I didnt even got thr noti :(
아아...지름신이 강림하신다...😍😱🙀
Sorry button confused is the iPhone 4 is somewhat a reference in measuring while straightening the stabilizers or is it just me idk
i love ur content
Thanks you for this ❤️❤️❤️
Hey! I have the same keyboard but with the blue switches!
I just recently got the hippo linear switches and was wondering if I needed to cut the stems off of them? Cause they won’t fit….
Hi i have a question, i like to buy keycaps for my sk64s but i dont know which fit in my keyboard. Do you know fit in this keyboard?
Just a question, does the lock and unlock turn off the keyboard? Because my keyb battery still seems to run out after locking it
quick question in the beginning when you are doing stabilizers were those god hand nipper?
can you make a tilde (~) symbol on this keyboard? this is honestly my only concern buying it because every other key I need it carries already, but the tilde is too important. Also, what would be the shortcut for the tilde? Thanks for the video! Good job!
I'm curious, why does nobody that uses spray lube not spray it into a container and brush the switches with a size 00 brush, wouldn't this be far less messy and safe for lubing brown switches?
It sounds amazing. Is there a way to get a keyboard sounding like that without modding it? Any stock like that we can buy?
I believe there isn't
I'm trying to buy the same exact 1900mah polymer battery you showed in the video. If you don't mind could you tell me what the model number is? It should be on the battery. Thank you!
should i buy some Everglide Panda Stabilizers or i stay with the stock ones?
