Leobog just released their V4 and they are also 5 pin... if you pick the right base for your cheap keyboard, you can definitely get a nice keyboard with a few mods. I bought a $26 64 key sandwich mount hotswap trimode from Amazon for my living room PC... threw a set of on sale PBT dye sub key caps on it with a budget long pole linear, some plastilina and free PE foam and it's now a nice small mech key for our browsing and multimedia needs for less than $80

Sounds amazing. Personally I'm still waiting for a full sized k/b with a volume scroll and good latency (<3ms) that can thock. The most I'm willing to compromise is a TKL keyboard with a numpad but I wouldn't be surprised if it annoys me to have 2 things to manage. Until then, I see no reason to upgrade from my old Logitech G810.

I did a similar mod for my wife's cheapo redragon recently. Same type of PCB. I forced in some Gateron Milky Yellows by crimping the pins. It was super tedious, wouldn't do it again, but it ended up sounding super dreamy after smushing some foam between the plate and pcb, and adding some decent foam in the case.

Hey, just wanted to thank you for your videos. I've always wanted a custom keyboard and because of your videos - I just bought Gateron ink black switches, lube and films. Will go through each one and lube them up. Will also do the tape mod with killmat. For my first keyboard, I'm just doing swappable switches, maybe for my second build - I will do some soldering. Again, thanks a lot for showing how it's done.

So I recently picked up the 84 key version of this board from a resell store for about $7. The star84 has a metal plate in it but no detachable cable and no wireless. Sound is more interesting than my standard HP membrane keyboard. Been binging your videos all week and have a set of keycaps, pullers, and lube coming in this weekend. Gonna get some foam for it too.

Guess if Madison made a press'n'seal mod, chances are good, that she will in fact see this video. I would be a real happy Eric, if Hipyo would mention me in a video, even if he's trying to get me and take revenge for a mod backfiring on him (even if he did it 200 times before and even invented it).

Really fun video!
Outemu does make some really nice switches, for example their silent Peach and Lime/Lemon switches are superb. They are smooth, quiet, and very light - I think you might like them. At worst it's really hard to argue against them at their sub-30$ price for 100+ switches.
With Outemu or Mill-Max hotswap sockets you really need to be careful because they are so small. Poking holes through the press'n'seal with a needle before you insert switches might have made the mod work.

I actually bought that keyboard last year, I bought it as a compromise. I really wanted to try a 65-67 key keyboard however I wasn't sure if it was for me, I thought I would regret it if I spend like $250 to build one and only dislike it.
I've always used full sized keyboards so I decided I'm more willing to take a chance on a $20 keyboard than a $250 keyboard.
I really liked the keyboard, thought it pinged a good bit, I really wanted to test mod it but I decided to save my patience, and sanity for my true keyboard..... spent like 4 hour lubing those switches.
I ended up with a new drop alt for a great price, lubed switches, installed some stupid fish foam, greased all the stablizers, etc I did a bit and I'm very pleased with it.
I still have that cheap old keyboard and I kept it in case one day I decided to actually mod it, I have some nice color shift paint.
