I think we are at the point where as long as you got SA keycaps, tape mod, and some PE foam or noico, your board will sound at least half decent regardless of the price. Mod the stabs, or even better, upgrade them if possible, and you're set. It's insane how affordable this hobby had become.
@@selectiveamnesia1033 tbh I've heard some that arent too bad. But that board isnt meant for people looking for perfect sound signature. I think it's more meant for people just starting who want an easy experience in terms of purchasing everything you need in one spot. That being said, there are some mods that will make it sound much better. unfortunately it seems to nerf the sound of any switch you put into it. Most GMMK pro's sound the same.
Yeah, no problem at all. I can't wait for you to post a link of a SA keycap set with ISO DE layout so I can enjoy it, too ;) But I guess you're right as long as you go with standard ANSI.
I am so happy there are good affordable options out there. I have the 65% version of this. Modded a bit with foam, lubed switches, stabs and new keycaps that were all on the budget side. Bought it last year and I have no plans to upgrade anytime soon.
I like to imagine that Shoobs actually records all his intros instead of recycling it and just fucks up the spelling and talks over it exactly the same every video.
I got one of these (an RK68 but essentially the same thing) for my first board after a long hiatus from the hobby, and for the price you really just cant beat it if you plan to mod. Nicer switches, keycaps and a bit of work on the case and stabs goes a looooong way with such a basic barebones board
Not defending corsair or razer, but y'all damn well know people in this hobby be spending several times more than those buying pre-builts on switches and keycaps alone lol. These custom mechanical entry boards are just gateway drugs to spending WAY more than your avg Razer costumer on keyboards.
@@LeReveurY still, entry boards are miles ahead, and if you do decide to keep spending more and more on boards, for the most part you at least will be able to notice the money you spent in relation to quality/features
Would love to have heard more of the shift on the sound test, NGL tho, I think you did an exceptional job on this one brother. Maybe just double over the "rag mod" on the space? dope regardless
Oh boy, more budget keyboard videos for me! Mayhaps one day I shall own a mechanical keyboard all my own... Really, though, I was looking at a skyloong and I was wondering if it was good or not, and now I know a way to make it better if I decide to go that route.
@@3lea.stratoTbh i'm pretty blown away by these. The gateron cap v1 sounded and felt pretty bad but these are a massive improvement. Using mine STOCK factory lube spring swapped to 58g 2 stage springs from kinetic labs lubed with 105g0 on my PC Maja with FR4 plate and DCS sleeper caps. Pretty deep sound signature and don't feel like I need to lube them. Using the Milky variant.
@@tommytypes1721 this sounds like an amazing combo! are those v2's 5 pin as well? can't wait to give these a try! Interesting take as well on using 2 stage springs!
already hAve some keebs but i copped one of these today! got some new stabs and some foam n shiiii for it. wanted a bluetooth travel board and a fun mini project while waiting for GBs :,)
If those are the keycaps I think they are, they also have a really terrible profile between rows. They have a similar top angle to SA caps, but on actual SA, the edges line up, but on these caps, the middle row is too tall to match up. instead of \_/, they're more like \-/. The ones I got had some garbage stems that were missing pieces too.
There are multiple sound signatures for a keyboard. Thock, Thocc (thicc thock), Thack (thock on bottom out, clack on top out), Thacc (thock on bottom out, clack on top out but THICC), Clack, Clacc (thicc clack) Clock (clack on bottom out, thack on top out) and Clacc (clack on bottom out, thack on top out but THICC)
wait shoobs has siblings? i thought he was an orphan who was left at an anime expo at birth
Same ngl
LOL
Shoob fans are the best
Maybe Shoobs and his Siblings happens to be The Legendary Beasts from The Pokemon Series abandoned at Anime Expo. You never know.
I was the 420th like I feel great about it

bonus points if you upgrade the switches... super bonus if you lube them.
@@Nicole-gt7nv not a stock gmmk pro mate, you can't make that sound good without more modsXDDDD

Not only does this sound good for the price, it just sounds good, full stop. Great video and great keyboard as always Shoobs!
It does sound good but also kinda cheap
@@SgtSuissie Sounds very hollow
@@Daniel-dj7fh yeah but you could spend like 10 more and get some good foam to dampen that by a lot
@@ethansockalosky I bet they feel hollow as well, and foam aint fixing that
@@Daniel-dj7fh Yeah but this is very extreme budget if you got a better keycaps set you might be able to fix that.
Good point tho
This is my keyboard and its honestly not that bad once you mod it

Sounds suprisingly decent! Great vid as always, Mr. Shoobs!
"pretty decent as always"

"dirty rag mod"-Shoobs 2021

actually sounds pretty nice lol. When i see these types of videos i feel so bad for people who spend over a 100 on a razer or a corsair.
The prebuilt name brand boards cost as much as customs at 1/20th of the quality. I can think of no justification for their price.
@@user-kz9rz8ui1c the name razer

Wow, you made something that has legitimate THOCK! Not just using it ironically - good job
3:31 my man whipped so hard my monitor turned off
Just finished evangelion and I finally understand the shinji reference 😐
im still watching it and im not there ✌ ill come back when i get the joke
@@eyy_man1162 you wish you hadn’t
You can add bluetac in the space bar to add a little weight + delete the pinging
Just because you included shinji You just got an subscriber.
Yes shoobs ty sm for uploading
Another Shoobs masterpiece
Wow, this actually sounds good, nice work dude!
that intro never gets old.
Would love to have heard more of the shift on the sound test, NGL tho, I think you did an exceptional job on this one brother. Maybe just double over the "rag mod" on the space?
dope regardless

Perhaps consider a 65% keyboard instead because personally I prefer having the arrow keys
@@flame60 Yeah, I've mostly been thinking 65% - 75% on keyboards. The one at the top of the list right now is a Keychron K6
AYOOO WHATS GOOD SHOOOOBS! TYPING THIS GATERON CAP BROWN V2 W SOME 58G LONG BOI SPRINGS. DEF GIVE THEM A TRY IF YOU HAVENT YET!
Nice!! I've been thinking of picking these switches up. how does it feel? and the sound? might use these on alu

Loving your scuffed videos and sound effects, more smacks please!
Wait, im new to this but why not just use Gauze instead of the towel?
BECAUSE
Dirty rag mod gang ftw
if THOCK and CLACK had a baby, that is this keyboard sound.
Sheeeeesh another shoobs upload!
Didn’t include the Belle Delphine sticker in the budget
Board I got is the tkl version: the gk87
HE'S BACK 😩
Does anyone know what the sound is that he plays before the sound test?
How do you tell if your pe foam is conductive?
if it breaks your keyboard i guess?
@@kav9533 LMFAO
most pcbs are esd protected so just use plain white 1.0mm pe foam
Try using it on your smartphone or just use a multimeter
They are usually black or grey
i love these budget keyboard upgrade videos
We all know your body pillows are cut in “specific spots”
Shoobs I need to know what faction you’re in cause these asuka hospital scenes are pain peko
shoobs hands always look like they are sweaty

can you pls give an in-depth review of the skittles
Seems you found a way to make clack louder. Skip the tape next time for deeper sounds
Nice vid bro

Dude I just did this dirty rag mod on my Jane....OP SHOOBS
hope you are doing well (great video)!!!!!!
I hope you are doing well as well friend
@@ShoobsTube i'm doing well thanks for asking :)
You should have tried the o-ring mod by Keybored!
a smidge too much "clack" for my taste, but definitely achieved a deep sound underneath said clack. cool!
NOT THE SHINJI HOSPITAL REFERENCE
Anyone know where to get his mouse mat?? 😭
Loved the major anime reference, goated anime.
Hipyo is proud of you
Nahhhh Shinji stay away from my keyboards LMAO
You had me until the chewing ASMR lmao never hit the fast forward so fast before. Everything else was hilarious as normal :P
The skittles bit had me dying haha!

I liked how the satisfied shoobs character was expanding while ylu were typing on the (AMAZING) keyboard
great vid bro
I enjoyed skittles eating asmr
man gonna run the mainstream mods out of the game
Were the skittles also from banggood?
Instructions unclear, I set my house on fire
Ah yes just what I need.
Idk who you are but where did you get that desk pad
will the gmmk tkl will be a good choice on a budget
What switches do you all prefer on the rk61? Red Switches,Brown switches, or Blue switches?
When getting stock I usually go for tactile cause I love yhe feel but I don't like the noise
@@ZeriTVAlright. Thanks for the opinion! It came today and I got red switches(hot-swappable) and I’m getting Gatreon yellows.
Brown
That was scuffed mister shoobs
I wonder how long the dirty rag mod catches on...
I use it for testing keyboards, and I might make a video on it lol, it works well
and the sister still waits for her tape to these very moments . . .
*"BUT SHES NEVVA GONNA GET IT BACK"*
did the keycaps come with a 1.75 shift key?
YOOOOOOO NEW DEGENERA- I MEAN SHOOBS UPLOAD
yooooooooooo
great video hahah I really wanna try the towel mod on my RK84 now
try out and mod the TK68, really good value board from gamakay
This is literally just a recipe for thoccccccc
I love u shoobs.
What’s the cheapest way I can get stuff shipped from toaboa to the US
Is it good to have the battery in there with rags??
Just what I need for my own gk61
I liked the keycaps but can’t understand anything on the website RIP
Ahhh good timing waiting for my gk61 to arrive lol
So clean! Nice board but-
Cm64>Gk61
This is the way
You were close. "Imbued"
He did it! He said the fucking word!
gonna cop those keycaps once i figure out how the hell to pay in yen
cable coming out sounded kinda rattley, needs more THOCK
This new cumrag mod sounds pretty good
It gives it that creamy sound profile
@@TristanNam Yeah, but some keys feel sticky.
imagine ur recommended is faster than ur notis
i hated this, but at the same time loved it
If you thing geek gk64 can do like this ?
Mister @Shoobs... How layers from tape U suggest?
The Shoobs “Dirty Rag” Mod will be the next buzzword.
So that's why the gk61 got a $10 price bump...
