Guides

Apply two parallel layers of low-tack blue painter's tape to the back of a mechanical keyboard PCB to adjust its acoustic profile, verify alignment with a backlight, and reassemble for a before-and-after typing comparison.

A practical guide to installing PE foam inside a mechanical keyboard, covering placement and what to verify about your own board first.

Open the case, lay a thin polyester fiberfill layer over the battery and ribbon cables, reassemble, and compare the sound. Costs almost nothing, but the safety record rests on one video.

Lubricate and film mechanical keyboard switches, from separating the parts to reassembling the switches.

Lubricate Salmon tactile switches by oiling the springs and lightly greasing the housing and stem rails, while keeping grease off the front tactile legs.

Cut band-aid strips for stabilizer stems and grease only the wire ends to reduce rattle on a budget mechanical keyboard. Scope, limits and unverified gaps are flagged throughout.

Disassemble a Neo65-style board down to the bare PCB, brush lubricant onto stabilizer housings and wires, then reassemble — based on one creator demonstration, externally unverified.
