    Completely forgot to mention 2 things:
    1) It supports both Windows and Mac. You can toggle between both modes with a keyboard shortcut.
    2) The Rudy keycaps are doubleshot PBT.

    Super underrated channel. This is my first time ever modding a keyboard and all of the tutorials were using sound dampening mats, but its too expensive for me. This is much more budget friendly and it sounds really good. Its also well produced. Thank you!

    Hi, I just have some questions about the foam. So I have been hearing if you do the tape and foam mod it will cause a fire since the battery is lithium?

    I used 99% Isoprophyl alcohol or lighter fluid for removing the grease of stabs.

    That's a lot in the box, what a deal! I got an older nonhotswap one though. Still, I'm always recommending RK to anyone though I wonder if you have any idea with the other models getting updated specs?

    • @HarvindG
      @HarvindG  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It really is an outstanding deal! I'm not too sure regarding the other RK models, so I can't give you a definite answer. But from what I've seen online, most of them have been updated. The RK61 seems to be the last one to the party.

  • @robertfox4114
    @robertfox4114 ปีที่แล้ว

    You forgot to say that it's not programmable, thus you have to use external tools to mod the function layer. In my opinion that's the only con. Keycaps and overloobed stabilizers are non-factor.

    won't it burn? because there is a battery, then there is foam and tape below the pcb. I'm also using Rk61, but it hasn't been modded yet. I'm scared because I don't know what to do with the battery. I hope you can help me bro

    • @HarvindG
      @HarvindG  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's relatively safe, I wouldn't worry about it. Just don't stuff too much foam in it/put too much pressure on the battery, you'll be good.

      @@jeoq You can see the battery at 2:42. I'm not sure if there's a wired-only RK61, or if that has a battery. I'd recommend getting one of the 3-mode models like this one. You have the option of using it wired, wireless, or through BT.

    is there a different lube for stabs? im confused can i use the lube (for switch) on stabilizers?
    some people use lube on switch and use some kind of lube called grease on stabs

    • @HarvindG
      @HarvindG  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question, it does get confusing. You can use the same lube for switch and stabilizer housings (Krytox 205G0), but NOT for stabilizer wires and switch springs. Here's generally what you should go with.
      *Switch housing:* Krytox 205G0
      *Switch springs:* Krytox 105
      *Stabilizer housing:* Krytox 205G0
      *Stabilizer wire:* Dielectric grease

    • @HarvindG
      @HarvindG  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@BakedConjurer5 ​ Although not recommended, you can use it if that's the only lube you have. For the stabilizer wires, you'll need to relube them more often, as Krytox 205G0 is thinner than dielectric grease and will be easily displaced by the constant movement of the stabilizer wire. For switch springs, use a (very) tiny amount and bag lube them.
