My first time modding a keyboard (Royal Kludge RK84 Hot Swap)
I basically just wanted to make a nice hot swap keyboard for myself.
Key switches are lubed and filmed.
Stabilizers was bandaid modded as well.
Casing was foamed with 2 layers of EVA foam.
The PCB and plate mount has a layer of EVA foam as well.
Things I used:
Keyboard: RK84 (not rgb)
Keycaps: PBT OEM Japanese Fall Love (From Shopee)
Key switch: 60 Tealios V2 and 24 Novel Key X Kailh Cream
Stabilizers: JWK Panda Plate-Mounted Stabilizers (wanted to go for cherry but thought it was a little too mainstream)
