Fun fact: switch pullers weren't made for switches. They were originally made to pull small cable connectors, like how it was used in the video at about 1:40.
Lmao i literally had the same experience since my first project into this rabbit hole was upgrading my 40$ fullsize "gaming keyboard" with cheap outemu brown switches. Desoldering was such a huge pain in the ass, since i had to use a iron sucker to suck out the desoldered iron.
When you are trying to dessolder and the freaking pin does not want to get out, try soldering 😉, with a little more then needed. Clean the board to clear the flux with isopropyl alcohol. Then start dessolder again. Usually works.
You've probably gotten this advice already but in order to be RoHS compliant certain products will instead use lead-free solder, which is much harder to work with/desolder. This can be partially remedied by reflowing the joint with your own leaded solder on top of the preexisting solder.
On Amazon I bought a 60% hot swappable based on the AK61 for a whole $12.59 dollars. The keyboard came with pudding keycaps and outemu red switches. I ended up doing a lube job on the outemu switches and ended up doing mod on the stabilizers as well. Now the typing and the feel of the keys when pressed feels more like a $80 dollar keyboard from a known brand name.
You and Hipyotech have been my go to lately for entertainment, outside of doing typing practice lol! I actually do that while watching youtube...or playing runescape.
I got this keyboard for wfh, i really love it. I enjoy the sound 😂 the feel, the wrist rest and the price. I recommend it if you're looking for a low budget option. It's great!
So my dad loves the clicky keyboards and I’m not surprised, imo it’s very nice, although the ASMR isn’t present, which is why I now love the clean sound. P.S: I think he still loves the clicky sounds
Great video! I did something similar on a cheap Amazon keyboard that turned out great. A tip for using the desoldering gun, make sure the lips of the tip are making good contact and completely seal the board. You can achieve this by holding it at 90 degrees to the board. Once that is done, wait about a half second, and pull the trigger, while rotating the tip around the pin in a circular motion. That'll clean up any extra solder that may be holding the leg in. Only spend about 3-4 seconds of applying heat to the joint at a time, else you can risk delaminating the board and causing the via to rip.
EDIT: oh yeah, and if you ever rip a via, don't sweat it. Get some thin 30AWG solid core wire, scrape the coating off what is left of the trace on the PCB, and solder to the copper of the trace. Then solder to your switch leg. Pace Worldwide did an excellent video on PCB repair. Just substitute where they use copper clad or trace repair metal with the wire. th-cam.com/video/IBi40aq4-t0/w-d-xo.html

I like wanted to buy a keyboard and know nothing about it , then I found your channel and know about custom keyboards 😅 , well thank you very much for the content .. and congrats on 500k 🎉🎉
I threw some layers of tape on the blackweb keyboard from walmart and it is definitely not mod friendly having to taking all the keys off to expose the screws. Made it a little quieter though so success.
I just got my first mechanical keyboard last month (Logitech G413 TKL SE (not used to not having a 100%)) and now I just need to figure out how to take the keycaps off without a puller and see the stems so I know which replacement keycaps to buy for WASD and ESC, it's thanks to channels like yours, Hipyotech and Glarses that I caved and got even one like this cuz mechanical seemed easier to clean and repair since I type fairly violently
Dear Betty, I am slightly concerned for your health and safety. I noticed that you are soldering in your room with your setup. If the room doesn’t have good airflow while soldering, soldering fumes could linger afterwards, leading to inhalation of soldering fumes which could result in respiratory issues. I would recommend either having a soldering fumes extractor (I don’t know if you have any of these already in place btw), having your window open while soldering and for a short period afterwards, or soldering outside. If you read this message, thanks for putting the time in to read it. I hope this comment helped, and I don’t know if you already have a method in place to prevent/lessen inhalation of soldering fumes while not soldering.
I had this exact keyboard 2 weeks ago. A week in, it started doing something weird on one of the rows and I couldn't fix it. I couldn't find help online, so I returned it and went to a BestBuy to pick up a HyperX Alloy Origins 65 with aqua switches that thock.
I used to use this keyboard but one day the wasd and arrows keys switched functions now I have my own custom built keyboard and I’m going to upgrade another soon
My grandma bought me a keyboard on Walmart for like $43 dollars in a few months ago for playing Roblox and now i still use it but now it's for playing Minecraft on Xbox One. It is the Strategy of Monster Games. It have blue Chinese switches with no mark, and black ANSI keycaps, with a special letter that only Latin America and Spain have, the ñ. But it's painted onto the keycap, not engraved like the other keycaps. And haves RGB with a rainbow sequence, and you can choose how the RGB are going to move through the switches. 👀
I knew those stock walmart keycaps looked familiar. My fist mechanical keyboard was a aukey from like 5 years ago. It had the same exact keycap set. And I still have that keyboard... lol
Thats funny. I have just done my first keyboard build ever after finding Hipyo Tech on YT. Didn't even know this was a thing. I say that to say, I bought a super cheap Eyooso board off Amazon and modded it. I used shelf liner too arbitrarily and have never seen anyone use that until now. I think it works really good with the tape mod and pbt keycaps. Sounds very nice.
Hey switch and click it's my first time lubing switches and I have brown switches and it can get pretty loud so should I over lube or lube it a little bit
Let's say you owned the ONN mechanical keyboard for a couple of years and really liked it: the RGB lighting, the clicky sounds, the feel of the keys, the solid heavy aluminum case, that it's full size, the braided cable, etc. However, let's say that random keys are not responding to normal pressure, and you're legally restricted from using a soldering iron because of what happened last time. Let's also say that you were looking for something about double the price, so somewhere just under $100. What mechanical keyboard would you recommend? It's frustrating because a couple of the RGB lights have gotten messed up, and like I said I'll be going along and suddenly the "h" key won't work unless I press and hold it down... then it types half a dozen "hhhhhhh"s. Now that key is working again... will it be the "B" next time? A different key? The software also is buggy, with it occasionally losing its mind and making the "W" key a backspace key and other weird nonsense. Hot swappable would be a bonus since I'm so incompetent with the soldering iron, but not a requirement. USB ports would also be a cool bonus but not make or break. I don't like wireless, I do like the clicky feel, I LOVE the RGB because my keyboard in on a drawer so often mostly or fully hidden from light. While I don't use the numberpad, I do use PrintScreen, delete, Home, arrow keys, and the F keys quite a bit. Thoughts?
i modded up a razer blackwidow v3 and put it together just yesterday. the worst part is lubbing switches hands down. I have a manual sucker and get the switches changed. I'm planning to upgrade a Logitech board for a friend's son for his birthday....holy helly the rattle that come from that thing.
hey betty, i have a UK style hot-swap outemu keyboard. I have akko cs jelly blacks for it, but when i tried to swap out the enter key's switch, i realised that the stabs were ABOVE AND BELOW the switch, so the switch puller couldnt fit in the miniscule gap between the stabs and the switch. how do i change it? i **could** open up the board and remove it from the pcb but i really dont want to. if its my only option, i will.

Hi randomfrankp! Thx for making awesome videos. I didn’t know about the Keycaps but now I’m checking them out!
i like those key caps

Props for making these keycaps. They look sick! I noticed that the price actually goes down to $75 when adding to cart. Thanks for the discount!
Can you check out the hp omen 45L please. I am thinking of upgrading to it

I find I prefer leaving the flux on the board at least until I'm done with it. That way I already have flux applied when soldering the new switches.
ah yes, i totally understood hwat this says
you should make your own switches and keyboards! you know so much about them and by watching your videos i’ve learned so much more about them!
i used to use the game onn keyboard, very loud though it was actually very impressive with its reaction time
7/10 would recommend for clicky lovers

I think any full size keyboard that wasn't made by WallMart would've been easier to mod, even if it was full size.
Unless they are those Logitech ones that had the Romer-G switches
Impressive for a 35 dollar keeb! im supprized the top plate is not hollow sounding. *mine is very hollow*

funny thing is I have the exact keyboard 😅 I bought for 50 last month
if you hold fn+ the buttons above the arrow keys you can change the mode
I actually have that keyboard it’s very clicky so I switched to a new sound and keyboard it was $400
im confused if i should buy the skyloong gk61 or royal kludge rk61, cuz they are both budget and 60%.
