Would everyone like to see a long term update on this? If so, what features would you like to see covered, or what would you like to see different? Let me know!
Would be nice to see and update on how it held up, what would have done different, anything you regret and maybe how it is compared to your other keyboards maybe? And would have been really happy if you linked everything you used to make the keyboard so we could get the products and sizes . Btw love your channel, keep going budz:)
I think it it would be cool to hear your opinion on the hot keys and the customizing of the keys and colors.
Definitely! You made me buy a drop alt and I am loving it! Would be cool to know how this mod works after all this time. Also, can you please tell me what this little cute robot like cube is and where to buy one?
@@LrdOfNightmares
rama.works/ make sure your sitting down and you hide your wallet 😂
@@StupidBulletsTech oh my God that's amazing! Holding my wallet firmly! Thank you for the info!
That is kind of freaky how quiet the keyboard is now. I am sure stream and discord friends will appreciate this just as much as I do. Thanks for helping me out Bullets!
Thanks for letting me help.
This guy is so genuine and he is like the cool sub you would get at school that everyone liked.
you're like the cool uncle that owns cool tech n cars lol
Yeah reminds me of my uncle haha
i would say the same but i don't talk to my uncle lol
@@DrPingu oh why don’t you talk to him? :(
@@antonbernard123 well uhh most on my mom's side passed a while ago including my mom and my dads side I just dont really get to meet
@@DrPingu oh I’m sorry about that bro
Just found this video and cannot emphasize enough the impact that the foam has on the sound and the feel of the keyboard. Its a totally different typing experience and I couldn't be happier!
My friend spilled soda all over her Drop Alt and was literally going to throw it in the trash, so it became my very first mechanical keyboard. Now after 6 hours of deep-cleaning I have a free keyboard AND a new addiction
But really, the vid was so informative and entertaining that I had to comment to show some love, and I can't wait for the stabilizers to come in, and maybe some hearing aids too,
Just bought my Drop Alt High profile and stumbled upon this video. Love how comprehensive this walkthrough is. Makes me feel more confident about modding my keyboard to that level of greatness.
It's so crazy how right after I saw your post on reddit of all your switches this video suddenly gets recommended to me right after.
That’s crazy! Internet is weird lol.
Ok, now you have sold me on Drop Alt and Silent Alpacas. I am buying them and applying the same custom job, so I can enjoy typing like crazy at night while my wife and kids are sleeping.
[Typing it on Cherry MX Brown Corsair K70 MK2 at 11:43PM and watching the door anxiously - this thing was supposed to be quiet and is my first mech keyboard and it ain't as silent as they advertise it]
Great video, love the editing pace, music volume (and track) + the host energy.
Stupid fish foam and Genuine cherry stabs made a huge difference for my drop alt. Thanks!
Thanks for that.
Thanks for the video, I just got the Standard Alt, and after watching your video, I realized that I completely forgot to clip the stabs. Sounds so much better now! Thanks!
Your channel popped up out of the blue! If you keep making this type of content Ill be here when you hit 10k soon! Keep it up!
Thank you so much.
You sir did a good job on that Drop alt high profile keyboard. A lot of enthusiasts give this board the donkey dung just because of the high price and integrated top plate design. I personally think it's still a viable option to this day because it's well built and with proper modifications this boards can go toe to toe against the most expensive options in terms of sound quality, rigidity, function and looks . Props to you for recommending this board over others despite its short comings.
Thanks for that. I have a lot of keyboards, and to this day it is my go to and I love how it sounds.
Haven’t watched the video yet but that thumbnail sure caught my attention!
I came here to hit the like button just bc of the thumbnail lol
@stupid Bullet Tech Please do a review on that screwdriver if you don't mind:)
How do you have only 1k subs, your content is excellent
Thanks so much.
love the vibe of the videos the soft lighting is so perfect and your voice is not too loud or quiet you doing a great job with these videos sir you deserve alot more subscribers ^^
production in this vid is mint!
Ahhh, this guy is so wholesome. It's so nice to see someone who still enjoys things like this while still being older. You do an amazing job too, definitely earned my sub.
I think you are my favourite keyboard content creator
Thanks, this video is exactly what I needed. My Stupidfish foam arrived in the mail today and now I can confidently take my Drop Alt apart to fit it. I just need some replacement stabs and pads to finish the upgrade.
Great video and using this as a reference for when I get my Drop Alt in a few days, but until then I NEED the song that starts at 6:42
The song is part of the blues selection on envato elements. I will try to remember to look up the name tomorrow. Thanks so much.
Very useful advice and loving the wholesome feels.
i legit GASPED hearing that silenced spacebar! sooooo clean, the result sound is absolutely amazing
Thank you :-)
Coming from Fishcord - this is great! i love the energy and humor, insta subscribe. Keep it up!
Nice found your channel today. Keep up the great content
Thanks so much. It’s all new to me but I’m learning :-)
thanks for the video I fixed my drop today and installed stupid fish foam no more rattle in my space bar
Awesome!
My friend recommended me to your channel and I absolutely have fallen in love with keyboards you can mod! SILENT KEYS is what I’m looking to build and this video is awesome! Thanks so much!
It’s time for me to start doing my research on what to build
Thanks so much. Tell your friend thank you as well. Prevail company had Alpacas (silent) in stock now, I really like them.
@@StupidBulletsTech I’ll give them a look. How much was it to build the keyboard you just built
@@JCajas9 which board? I’ve built several since that video.
@@StupidBulletsTech the board in this video with the silent keys? I liked everything about it
"...I get to do it for a friend."
That's how you get my sub.
Planning on modding my low-pro Drop Alt next week. Ordered some milky top gat yellows, Durock plate mount stabs, 67g Durock gold springs, switch film, Krytox 205g0 and stab foam stickers (vs band aids). Never knew about stupidfish foam until this vid as I was going to go by Lowe's and buy a sheet of it to cut into shape, but I'm sold on it after that sound test and ordered their Alt kit. All I'm missing now is some dielectric grease for the stabs and I'm hoping to have a completely different keyboard soon! Also coming from some secondhand-bought, unlubed Zealios V2. Was debating whether to throw them in my Keychon, but think I will go a different route on that board with (new) tactile switches that haven't had their legs clipped. GREAT VID!!!
Thank you so much. The guy at StupidFish has such a good product, I’ve purchased from them a lot and have always been pleased. They have a discord if you want to learn more, just let me know! I would be interested in hearing about the keyboard once you’re done as well :-)
@@StupidBulletsTech definitely. Don't have an extensive mic setup (actually don't have a mic yet lol), but I can pop in the Discord and leave a typing clip when everything is done if you're apart of it.
@@lcnolan23 discord.gg/UGPJDU7A
i never comment to give props to a channel but i’m astounded that you don’t have a huge following. your production and commentary is so good :)
Thanks so much. I really appreciate that. That’s an old video :-)
Way too high production quality for this low of a subscriber count. I would also continue watching if you made this a series!
Edit: also where did you get your alpacas? I'm looking for some amd they're sold out everywhere.
Thanks so much for that. I’m brand new at editing, there is a lot to it LOL, but I’m learning. The Alpacas came from Prime Keyboards.
@@StupidBulletsTech ah they're sold out now, im still on the lookout! They're the quietest switches I've encountered so far and I'm looking for some for my olkb preonic. I'll follow the twitch and try and drop by some time.
@@TurboZarya How many do you need?
I'm starting to think that Drop intentionally left some improvable features on here to encourage people to get a little DIY with them XD
Haha, that’s super smart.
They probably expected people would do this anyway, no one will drop the kind of money needed to buy an ALT or CTRL and leave it stock. Saves on manufacturing cost.
@@podboi825 well i hate to be the bearer of bad news but i dropped the money on an ALT with no knowledge of modification or upgrading and only decided to upgrade after I realize how noisy my spacebar was.
@@plumbirb8444 Only reason I said that is because this is not a cheap hotswap board. I think drop knows their target audience haha, and it helps their bottom line using some low quality parts they know enthusiasts will swap out.
@@plumbirb8444 yeah, I purchased it thinking it was going to be the best pre-built I could get that was close to a custom, but it is not even that so I definitely didn't get a deal. However, I did end up following this guide and I'm much more satisfied with the sound signature.
I really like this video. I recently purchased a Drop Alt and I'm using this video to help me mod the one I got. Thanks!
Thanks for that :)
Nice job on this video, what is the music playing? It's so refreshing from the normal lofi that is usually played during keyboard videos!
It’s one of the blues riffs from Envato. If you end up getting the service, let me know and I will look it up for you!
The new drop foam kits comes punched out already. very awesome video btw.
Thanks. That was a long time ago. I met the drop folks and their new board at a meet in so cal. Looks like they are learning!
Great video! I'm getting into keyboard modding (thinking about getting a hotswappable) and this was super informative, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the kind words.
@@StupidBulletsTech Were those gold plated panda stabs from Drops site?
@@kf5417 They were from Zeal Pc. Did I forget to say that? Hmm 🤔
@@StupidBulletsTech No, I am sure you mentioned it. I was just following along while watching your video, thank you!
Awesome video. But can I suggest getting some plastic spudgers for 9:13? It's not safe to use metal tools to separate plastic pieces, you want to use something softer than the plastic parts you're working with.
awesome walkthrough! love my drop alt
Difference is incredible! It's like the keyboard equivalent of that silence you hear when it starts snowing. I'd love to hear what the foam sounds like in the board w/ the holy pandas too
Wow, amazing video my dude! Informative, well spoken, easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, amazing work. Can't wait to see what else you put out!
Edit: Also, please please do one for the Elongate when you get it in and also for the Think6.5 v2 :D
Too quiet for me, but will use this guide regardless! Thx for doing this
Great job on the video, and will definitely be looking at the foam for my Drop Ctrl. I'm piece mealing one together from a bare bones unit. One question: You clipped bits of the new stabilizers. I didn't catch why you were clipping things and where you got the new stabilizer setup from. Also a vote for a 'how is the keyboard doing in its new home?' follow on video in the future.
Stabs were from Zeal pc, but they are spendy. Any genuine cherry plate mouse stabs work well. Thanks for the support.
I love these videos!
Thank you for the tips!
Great video sir!
quality of the video is incredible!
Thanks so much. I have never edited anything, there is a lot for an old guy to learn LOL.
This is a multi-mil sub count quality video.
You did not lubed it, it's gotta be black magic how can this be that quiet? Hahahaha
Insane work man!
This is such a thorough and informative fix. Thank you!
Thank you.
very informative!
Great video! But maybe next time include the process of switch lubing, as you showed the process of lubing the Cherry stabs. Also, do the stabs have a clean bottom out, or do they feel mushy?
The new stabs are clean on the bottom. Thanks so much for the suggestion for next time.
@@StupidBulletsTech Thanks for the response! I asked that question as it kind of sounded to me like the switches were a bit overlubed, glad they weren't though.
Just bought the foam from stupid fish. Wish you had an affiliate link!!
I appreciate that. I wish I did too. A customer should tell them LOL.
suposedly you can repair / mod the stock ALT stabs with some bandaid / medical tape, a clip job, and lube. I just ordered a prebuilt Drop ALT with Kiahua blue switches off ebay (standard low case). If the switches and stabs are at least useable enough that I can type error free, I won't rush into moding it. I have a feeling even the Drop 'junky' stabs are better than what DELL puts on it's keebs!
BTW, I LIKE clicky switches, but the hollow sound isn't music to my ears. So I might check out that foam kit.
Oh my goodness, this video was FANTASTIC! Definitely gained a subscriber here. Tried to buy a cup of coffee but PayPal seems to be having issues. Is there a service out there I can pay to do basically this exact same thing? I've been wanting to get one of these or a CTRL and mod it for a while but I have neuralgia in my fingers and I'm afraid I won't be able to do some of the intricate, detailed work myself.
I appreciate the kind words and the attempt. I also suffer from lost feeling in fingers so I understand. That’s why I type so crazy. There are people out there who can build and work on boards, I don’t know where you are?
@@StupidBulletsTech Midwest in the US
@@StupidBulletsTech PayPal's up! Enjoy your coffee!
@@bwloawesome that was really kind of you. Thank you.
that before and after is insane
Wow. My head turned like a confused dog when you started typing and it was that quiet
I’d say bandaid modding could help the stabs a little more but it sounds more than silent enough for plate mount. Also I stopped using that flourinated grease and just use 205 and dielectric grease on my stabs because that other stuff was starting to dry out and gunk up a bit.
Good job on the silence though. I made mx Zilents for my boards and they sound similar for much less money lol.
Awesome. I’ve also quit using dielectric grease and now use 205 and XHT on wires. Thanks for the kind words.
@@StupidBulletsTech you use the XHT instead of the dielectric grease? So basically on just the wires? Has this been better for you? Thanks for the tip
@@SmartFool24 I do, I like it so much it was instrumental in us opening our own store. StupidBulletstech.com :-)
@@StupidBulletsTech Wow! Awesome I’ll check it out. Thanks
Cool video! keep it up!
The stabs are good as any other after you lube them. I just spent $10 on a tool set with some china lube and now the keyboard parallels the best I've ever used. You really don't need to buy anything to make most mechanical keyboards perfect as long as the frame is solid and has the features you need.
I’m glad you like the one you have. Remember, that video was made several years ago, and the stabs were awful. It was pretty well documented. I even had a convo with the drop folks last year at a meet who recognized me from that vid haha, they have upgraded them considerably since then. Since then I’ve built many dozens of boards, and it is far from “the best” but I kept mine as it was my first fancy one :) Now we have amazing keyboards for a fraction of what they cost 3-5 years ago.
3:27
Wow, such a great informative video! Those holy pandas sound soooooo good. I might go and do the same. Is it literally the same mods as Frotsy with just a different switch?
Yes, exactly the same keyboard and foam, only a switch change. The Holy Pandas sound so good.
@@StupidBulletsTech were you using the "wowstick 1F+" in this video? I have been looking at buying one of these for over a year but can't tell from the reviews which brand / wowstick 1F+ package has decent torque and bits that don't bend. I'd also love to see a review on the screwdriver. Also is that a USB-C rechargeable port on top or micro-USB? Thanks! (Really appreciate you recommending stupid fish foam, much faster shipping and has every boards foam I needed in stock)
@@phlooke The screwdriver is the ifu. I may pick up a wowstick one day and do a comparison video, but I’ve been pleased with it. USB is micro which is fine, although it will pull out the receptacle if the male end is. Wry right. Overall I’ve been pleased with it.
Keyboard customization never stops. It’s like a custom Mustang you keep putting money into, sell at a loss and then pick up another car.
Except it’s a silent aluminum keyboard
Excellent, thanks for this sir!
BTW .. You have good content and a good camera presence. You should be making a lot more videos.
It’s in the works, thanks so much.
I actually thought my headphones disconnected and the volume turned off when you showed the lubed version of it
Yeah. It’s surprising how many people request silent keyboards!
you should be using a thicker lube for the stabs, and switches
makes a huge impact. i made my alt THOCK with hamaji neo's "is the drop alt still worth $200" video
learned ALOT from taeha types to! both very good in the keyboard hobby. Glad to see that you clipped those stabs though! great video
(your space bar still sounds like death)
too
too
damn your Santa Claus number one in the Keeb Game! can u make mrs Claus Thocccc though!?
Why do you think she needs a walker?
@@StupidBulletsTech LOOOOL, no no She needs a Stabilizer!
Hey there, can you tell me what switches were in the keyboard when you did the sound test before modding?
Halo Trues on the board before modding.
@@StupidBulletsTech thanks for getting back to me. Wonderful video btw.
Awesome Video
Great review !!there an rgb setting where you can make the lighting all white?
drop.com/talk/10343/how-to-configure-your-alt-keyboard
@@StupidBulletsTech thank you :)!! Sorry another noob question, would durock lavender linear switches be compatible with this keeb :o ?
@@lauwbreaker yes
ma man!
What's the point of buying a "pre-built" keyboard if you're tearing it apart down to its base components?? I'm beginning to think I don't need another rabbit hole to chase down.
My stupidity .. _After spending $350 on a KB and another $160 + $120 on a mouse and wireless charging pad nevermind on a tricked out Alder Lake gaming PC with an EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra .. the question is does it make you game any better??_
_My wife easily types 200+ WPM on her nearly worn out Corsair KB with Cherry MX Blues._
You should use a plastic spudger to remove the diffuser so that you don't mark the metal case. Otherwise good video.
Can I ask what stabs and kind of switches you used? A Link would be the best. I have the same keyboard and I hate how my stabs rattle
If memory serves that’s all in the video. Zeal stabs and alpaca switches?
Great Video I did everything you suggested except I went with halo clear switches lubed and gmk laser round 2 keycaps sounds awesome!
Well, the foam with the square, switch sized cutouts go between the plate and the pcb, and the piece with the hot swap socket cutouts goes where the hot swap sockets are. It should be pretty clear I hope?
@@StupidBulletsTech I figured it out I just had the foam facing the wrong way lol
@@StupidBulletsTech maybe for dumbos like me 🤷♂️
@@virtuosogamers3266 we all learn, no worries. We have plenty of helpful people in the discord also. That’s the quickest way to get answers if you need them!
@@StupidBulletsTech awesome yeah I’m just starting out this is my first board I modded. I just ordered a tofu 65 DIY so that will be my first custom build from the ground up. Super excited. 🤙🏼 I’ll definitely check out the discord.
that sounds amazing reminds me of a topre keyboard
I think it's more fair for a "fixing the drop alt" video idea by simply just modding the stabs, adding foam and lubing the switches to reduce the variables of the comparison between stock and modded. Nonetheless, good video
This is amazing, I just purchased this keyboard, They must've fixed the stabilizers, with cherry browns it sounds pretty good, but the spacebar definitely bugs me. Does the foam just make everything quieter? This is my first REAL keyboard that's customizable. I like the sound of it, but that first clip you showed with that thock sounded amazing. That's exactly what i want. It's a little intimidating, but i take computers apart and put them back together for a living, so i think i can handle it.
What would you recommend for a little more thock out of my cherry browns? I'm not opposed to swapping them, mostly just want to fix the spacebar. But the foam sounds like a good idea. Gateron black ink v2's are my dream, those sound amazing.
Gerry browns will probably my never give you the deep tone you are looking for. Gazzew U4ts will though. StupidBulletsTech.com
@@StupidBulletsTech Awesome, i'll check them out. The stock browns are pretty close, i like them, just a little hollow and rattley. Just ordered the foam and the lube, probably can't make it much worse, its worth a shot! Then i'll put some new switches in if i don't like the outcome!
I ended up choosing to purchase some gateron ks-3 pro milky yellow's. i know they're 5 pin, but quick clip and i should be closer to that thock i like so much
I love the results. This is exactly what i plan on doing with my Drop Ctrl keyboard when it arrives. Quick question for you, I have my keyboard coming with Kailhua Speed Silver (Linear) switches. Will I be able to achieve similar results with these switches or should I start looking at replacing them? Thanks again for the great video!
Similar results in what way? If silent, no. Lots of people love the speed silvers for feel, it really is a question of preference. Good luck!
@@StupidBulletsTech I want to achieve that level of silence on my keyboard. I'm just getting into this hobby now, so I have no idea which switches will work best. All I know is as a gamer, I think* I prefer linear switches for that smooth, click free , fast response time.
@@clyptonimusprime my go to silent linear is now bobagums from Gazzew. We are an authorized dealer ( stupidbulletstech.com ) but there are other great silents as well. Good luck.
@@StupidBulletsTech Excellent. Thanks for the tip. Cheers!
@@StupidBulletsTech one more quick question (sorry! but thank you for being so responsive). I'm looking at the Bobagums now. Unsure about the springs though 52g, 62g, and 68g? Any recommendations here?
The board is so quiet that I had to turn my volume up to max 😂
Great video!!
Got an extra 2u stabilizer I see?
How do the silenced switches feel compared to linear or tactile switches?
Much like their linear/tactile. Counterparts. The silencing pads too and bottom just stop the noise. Oddly, I have had several more people request silent switches, lots of people don’t like the noise. About 1 in 4.
Would the case foam work for the low profile version of the alt?
stupidfish.design/products/drop-alt-case-and-plate-foam-set here ya go!
Link to the switches? I see 5 pin options but the drop pcb only supports 3 pin switches right,
What makes this keyboard expensive, exactly?
I think “expensive” means different things to different folks? These are $250 from drop, or less for bare bones versions. Then caps, switches etc.
@@StupidBulletsTech Many cheaper keyboards are as good. Ducky, Akko, Anne Pro 2, Leopold, etc.
@@goldstein10493 Yes, lots of good options. I don’t think I anyone ever said this was the best?
@@StupidBulletsTech I'm saying there's gotta be something that makes this keyboard more expensive than the cheaper competitors with similar quality.
@@goldstein10493 Yes, there is. But since you do not own one of these, I’m not going to try to convince you that a 200 dollar keyboard is better than a 100 dollar keyboard since you have already made up your mind. Lots of good stuff out there, run what makes you happy!
On your Holy Panda’s did you lube and film them or just used them stock?
Lubed and filmed. If you do this on a drop, make sure the switch house are completely closed before inserting. Also, support the hot swap sockets from the rear, they are very easy to push off the pcb.
@@StupidBulletsTech so I just did a build following this guide except I used Holy Pandas. Everything turned out great except the spacebar. It really doesn’t have rattle but is does not sound as good as yours. Mine is much louder. Taken the stabs out and cleaned and re-lubed/rebalanced about 3 times and still the same result.
@@davisd45695 do you use the foam?
@@StupidBulletsTech yes I used the Levias Dampeners and the Stupid Fish Foam.
@@davisd45695 Sound tests are very hard to duplicate. Speakers, mics, ears etc. the only thing left is to make sure the wires are balanced.
With what reason are there no O-Rings applied to the keycaps? I'm looking forward to do this mod aswell, because i liked how much better it sounds with only applying O rings. Now i can't stop looking at these sound test videos :{
O rings make it feel mushy, so I don’t use them. It’s personal preference really.
Stabilizers? I would have thought it would have been the keyboard motherboard. The sockets fall out easy and you have to solder them back in. They are straight garbage. I found d this out when trying to use their holy pandas and when using the switch puller or by hand pressing them in they easily fell out and I had to solder them back in.
Glad you were able to repair it. I’ve heard the same from a couple of people, but I’ve rebuilt mine half a dozen times with no issue. Are you supporting the sockets when inserting switches?
@@StupidBulletsTech at first I just pulled them out and installed them. Now I just take the bottom of the Keyboard off then install the switches and hold down the PCB. Something that isn't shown in the guides when swapping out switches.
Hi very informative vid. Question, I have a Hypyerx alloy origins full size keyboard with aqua switches. Do you know if it's possible to mod the stabs and insert foam?
You can mod the stabs on just about any board, here is a video on how to do it without disassemble th-cam.com/video/mswHHTibbws/w-d-xo.html As for foam, if you are comfortable and careful then yes on foam, although for that board you will most likely have to cut your own. Be very careful taking it apart as sometimes connections are not apparent. I hope this helps.
@@StupidBulletsTech Thanks for the reply and info..Have a good one :)
Know where I could find foam for the highprofile ctrl?
I know that stupid fish makes foam for the low version, you may want to reach out to him to ask the difference, I’ve not built the high version. Hope that helps.
How do you turn these keyboards on/off? I cant find anywhere online how to do this
Unplug it
Is the second alt you showed in the first sound test with the stock stabs?
It’s been a long time, but I believe they are cherry plate mount stabs. The factory stabilizers are really not good.
@@StupidBulletsTech Gotcha, appreciate the response! Was thinking about doing the mod you showed in the the test, but don't really want to change the stabs if I don't have to. Would rather just lube them to get a similar outcome
I thought the video was on mute when I saw the before and after
LOL, I even cranked up the gain. It was seriously quiet. Oddly, I’ve had three other requests for the same quiet build.
I recently got a low profile Alt and am considering modding it somewhat to remove ping. However, I've never modded before, so I was thinking of just adding foam. Adding the case foam is clearly very easy, as I just have to remove the bottom cover, but what about plate foam? Is that something I, as a beginner, could do with minimal risk to my keyboard?
Yes, it’s boy hard to do. If you end up stuck, let me know and I will invite you to a discord that will help! Good luck building ;)
@@StupidBulletsTech wow, thank you for the speedy response. I'll see how it goes.
I got one of these second hand and it powers on and like 95% of keys work perfectly the 5678 and like the n and couple others do not where would you start on diagnosing what the issue could be thanks
I would pull those switches and replace or swap positions. After that you will need to take it apart to examine the pcb for damage if the issue was not switches.
Mine randomly disconnects I’m wondering if I can troubleshoot this myself
Probably. First thing I would do is swap cables.
wow wow wow is all i can say xD
