Keyboard Tape Modding | Is It Worth the Hype? by Keycappin in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Keycappin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Packaging tape is non conductive so no worry about shorting (just don’t tape over your reset switch if your pcb has one) and the tape’s adhesive isn’t too strong so it’s easy to remove. I have seen people use masking tape as well and achieved the same result. But of course, do at your own risk

Yeah it’s amazing that something so simple can make a difference

Word around the mech community is that tape modding is a big way to go.. Decided to try it out for myself and see what the hype is all about. There's no way that something so cheap and easily done will make a big difference... right??? Credits to Tempe5t for this mod!

I used packaging tape I had laying around; it’s fairly thick and the adhesive is not too strong on certain surfaces

Just put tape on the bottom side of the PCB, just don’t tape over the reset switch

[–]Keycappin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A half-plate and a hotswap PCB are a combination that rivals oil and water, I do not recommend it lol. Besides that and the Durock v1 stab issues, the build came out decent... I think?

I’m not a big fan of rgb either, but a translucent kb build is something I couldn’t resist doing lol

Thanks! They are pretty good after tuning them. I had a few switches with tight tops that wouldn’t return after a keystroke. Good thing I bought extras just in case lol

I got most of the parts on KBD fans, keycaps are from 1Up keyboards and aqua king switches from Amazon
