I love how the manufacturer of Glorious's limited release key caps just went and started selling them on Amazon for 1/3 the price Glorious sold them for.
I don't think they are anyhow connected to each other, my performance testing shows that it's now difference. It's only copy of plastic/visual part of wooting, all other stuff is not.
im planning on doing this and spray painting the case and i just have one question, if i swap the switches on the keyboard, does the software automatically calibrate the switches for it to work?
@@naisulol any switch that is compatible with wooting will be compatible with this. I have the gateron jade pros in my mad68 and they work and sound great. I think the geon raw he switches will work since they are compatible with wooting
I swapped mine out for gateron jade pros and I think they feel higher quality and sound better, but I wouldnt say the upgrade is worth it if you're paying full price. Call me a cheapskate but I just made a bunch of aliexpress accounts and used the welcome deal to get 6 orders of 10 switches for $1 each lol
You know if the store of your link on the description have the mad68 flagship at stock ? I've been trying to buy one but there's not a single store with stock
@@getsmarthomeofficeThe original Tofu65 has the port on the left. Only the 2.0 version has it centered. But looks like the standoffs aren't exactly in the correct places. With a gummy o-ring mount it might be possible, you'd just have to grind away the standoffs completely. I don't think I'll be trying then.
@@getsmarthomeoffice Awesome ! Ive been looking for aluminium case that can be used with the Mad68HE and this is exactly what i was looking for! Thank You Yev!
I didn’t test by myself but my assumption that PCB for all this MADs keyboards is the same, so difference only in switches and colors. If I’m right - then yes, should work. I did ask seller this question.
Hey Yev! Great video, by the way. I just bought mine as a Christmas gift, and I started the tape mod and added a polycotton fill. However, is there a cheaper alternative or cheaper casing? The DrunkDeer G65 Aluminum Case is too expensive, it's almost like the price of another keyboard. Thank you so much!
Unfortunately the idea of cheap keyboard that it’s made from cheap materials, aluminum is not cheap, so, if to be fair it’s doesn’t make sense this days to mod cheap keyboards
does the mad68 he pcb fits perfectly stock or u need any type of modifications + does the screws that u need come with the case or u need to make a purchase for a specific type of screws overall i mean if i bought the case from drunkdeer i can fit my pcb without any problem ?
Yevgeny I think that's your name Have you seen attack shark kickstarter page with their new line up of X65 HE for 36 $ and X65PRO HE i picked pro version for 50 $

great vid, u are the first one that modded mad 68 he, and now i find reference case for my mad 68, thank u
You are welcome :)
not true but great mod
I love how the manufacturer of Glorious's limited release key caps just went and started selling them on Amazon for 1/3 the price Glorious sold them for.
Do you mean I used one of them in this video?
I found nano68 and mad60he with magnatic amber pro switches can't found any info about them can you tell about it
What kind of info you are looking for?
Thank you very much for this Video, very helpful!❤
thanks for sharing this alu case, definitely will mod my mad68 too
Enjoy :)
Those TTC kings are it.
Thanks Brother! Still waiting for my Mad68. I‘ll prbly upgrade to one of the alu cases.
The case does a lot for the sound I can now confidently purchase the G65 alu case
Do you know if the Aula WIN68 with the same 65% layout will also fit in this G65 case?
I don't have Win68, so I can't be sure but if it's the same spot of usb port - yes, it will fit
@ I will try it when I get my WIN68
keyboard looks clean!
I have a question is the mad68 pcb comparable to the wooting pcb or is it a worse version of it?
I don't think they are anyhow connected to each other, my performance testing shows that it's now difference. It's only copy of plastic/visual part of wooting, all other stuff is not.
im planning on doing this and spray painting the case and i just have one question, if i swap the switches on the keyboard, does the software automatically calibrate the switches for it to work?
You can calibrate switches via driver, you need to use same type of magnetic switches that supported by PCB
@ do you think the gateron raw he switches would be compatiblr?
@ don’t know, need to test
@@naisulol any switch that is compatible with wooting will be compatible with this. I have the gateron jade pros in my mad68 and they work and sound great. I think the geon raw he switches will work since they are compatible with wooting
Do you recommend swapping the switches out for Magnetic Jade switches or Lekker 60 switches or are the stock switches good enough?
They are good enough actually
I swapped mine out for gateron jade pros and I think they feel higher quality and sound better, but I wouldnt say the upgrade is worth it if you're paying full price. Call me a cheapskate but I just made a bunch of aliexpress accounts and used the welcome deal to get 6 orders of 10 switches for $1 each lol
wow a mod video finally
how did you take off the switches? i feel like im going to break them everytime i try to take them out.
They just fit tightly into the socket, don’t worry, but it possible to damage plastic of the switch though
this or aula win 68? Wanna mod it with a case and gateron jades
They are the same, so you need only PCB in this case and you can build your own keeb
Waiting for my mad68 and watching ur vids
Does it has on board storage?
all of them do, it's web driver, it can't store anything in the drive itself
You know if the store of your link on the description have the mad68 flagship at stock ?
I've been trying to buy one but there's not a single store with stock
Have no idea, I’m not a representative or seller, I just bought my there
Any other alternatives on market? Looking for more case options, that g65 case dont looks too good imo
Looking but it’s hard to find 68 and usb port on the left side
@@getsmarthomeoffice Tofu65? I have one, and it looks quite similar.
@ check where is the usb port

is the keyboard switch hotswappable ?
Yep
Hello Yev! This G65 Aluminium case, does the screw holes all perfectly fit the Mad68HE ? What happened to your screw and why did it break?
You need to use screws what is coming with G65 case, not the screws from MAD 68HE. Otherwise all is good 👍
@@getsmarthomeoffice Awesome ! Ive been looking for aluminium case that can be used with the Mad68HE and this is exactly what i was looking for! Thank You Yev!
Very good Video thank You
This case fit with the Madlions Nano68 Pro?
Don’t know, it’s copy of another keyboard - MADE 68 and it’s different structure
Hi there Yev,
is the TTC KOM compatible with the pcb?
i've heard that geon raptor HE doesn't work on mad pcb
Yep, they are, with my MAD 68HE at least
Cyberpunk keycaps set sound great.
Boss is back :)
Ha ha, you are to kind
Is the TTC Magneto compatible with the mad 68r?
I didn’t test by myself but my assumption that PCB for all this MADs keyboards is the same, so difference only in switches and colors. If I’m right - then yes, should work. I did ask seller this question.
Do 65 % keyboard fit in 60% case?
No
@@getsmarthomeoffice спасибо
it's work on nano68 ?
don't think so
where can i find compatible switches for mad60he😊
Amazon, Ali :) you need KS-20 type of magnetic switches, check my video about TTC one
@ the one with ttc vs gateron?
@ yep
Great review! If I may ask, what is the difference between the MAD 60HE vs the Ultimate version? Thank you.
I don’t think it’s any real difference, maybe switches and keycaps
the cheapest one is 1k polling, the ultimate version has 8k polling with better switches

If you could sell it for a good price buy the new mad 68 pro it comes with aluminium case for 80$

all is good, needed screws are comming together with G65 case and all fit's perfectly!
@@getsmarthomeofficewas there any trouble fitting the usb c with the case itself?
@ nope, I will publish a shorts soon and will show
Man, the keyboard looks great! How do you know if a keycap set is compatible or not?
It’s very rare when they are not, if it’s 80-100% keycap set it will be all options for Shifts and modifiers.
@getsmarthomeoffice thank you, after seeing this vid I bought the keyboard
Can I tapemod it?
You can but it will not change anything, it’s different structure of the magnetic switch
I am late but theres this foam@@getsmarthomeoffice
What way are the screws@@getsmarthomeoffice
@@Trixx816 you have needed included into g65 box
Thanks for the solid content!

Good vid, + U sound french
Thx )
0:39 25 might have being an aliexpress code type stuff…. I bought mine for 35€ tho
Price may be a really different for different shops, times and locations
Probably a different retailer in certain Asian market like shopee or something
ваш акцент похож на русский, вы говорите на нем?
Yep)
There are much better AL HE keyboards for $162, this mod makes no sense sorry.
Ofc :)
