Hello! Great video! I'd advise everyone to open this keyboard from the top rather than from the bottom side, just use a plastic pick or credit card to separate both housings, take your time doing this so you dont break any plastic along the way, and you should be good. This will mainly help those who own the tri-mode model, as the switch that allows you to choose between modes, can easily break when opening this keyboard from the bottom. Really recommend this one for begginers who want to get into modding, you'll have some challenges along the way, but those will prepare you for reality if you decide to step into the rabbit hole!

I love how cozy this video feels ☺️

This is literally the best run-down on how these mods are done, thank you so much for sharing!!

The keyboard sounds pretty damn good

this seems like such a tedious process. props to you for filming it all! i will definitely refer to this video when modding in the future. just one question: where did you get your lube from? thank you so much!

Thank you! I hope it will be helpful! I bought the lube on AliExpress. I don't know if it's legit or not (I bought it from a vendor with the most sold lube). I would suggest it to buy it from a official keyboard online shop if you can.

just a tip on removing tm6680 stabs, if you were to mod the board, you can remove the stabilizers last from the back of the plate. just push the lips then push. Way easier than removing it from the front.

was hoping for a before and after sound test with the pc plate

if I ever mod. my own keyboard, I will follow this video exactly

Do you think that, given all the mods you did, using tactile instead of linear switches would still give a really similar sound while typing? Thanks :)

Your videos have such a great vibe! I have a question about the colour of the case - is the pink more a "warm" pink (eg slightly orangy salmony) or a "cold" pink (slightly magentaish or lilacish) in real life? Or is it neutral? Your videos have tempted me to get this keyboard but I'm not sure if I should get a pink or a white, since I'm not sure if the pink will clash with the colour of my favourite pink keycaps.

PC plate generally makes the keyboard have a deeper sound profile than if you were to use alu or brass, though I'm not sure if brass is even an option for TM680 Use painter's tape for tape modding, or use tapes that generally don't stick well/meant to be peeled. Most people already use painter's tape for tape mods, and it's the most advisable tape to pick, as clear tape or duct tape may result in varied results, or even damage Stock stabs of a keyboard are usually fine, though I have no experience with the TM680's stabs in particular. If you want to throw caution to the wind; buy Durock B/W/Pandas, or JWK/Everglide V3 Plate-mounts (they're the ones that are colored black, transp, or blue). Make sure for JWK/Everglide stabs that you find plate mounts though, as screw-ins won't work on the TM680 (also sorta applies to durock as they have V2's that won't work as they're screw-ins). And, as the Durock B/W/Pandas are more readily available, I recommend those. Durock or JWK/Everglide are generally trusted brands, and offer good bang for buck, as opposed to Cherry plate mounts, that often cost twice the amount Don't take my words as gospel; there's still a deeper rabbit hole to venture into in the custom keeb realm. But if you have any questions, there are many communities to accommodate you, we don't bite (most of the time)! And, if you have some extra questions, I might be able to answer them, though none specific to the TM680, as I personally have no experience, or have any plans of buying that kit for now

No problem at all! DeemZ did already a very good job at providing you the information you asked for :D I used three layers of masking tape. Through the link in the description, you can buy the pc plate on it's own, but maybe the option is not available in your region? I think the stock stabs are ok. Since I never had really premium stabs, I cannot really tell if they are good or not. If you intend to holee mod the stabs, then I would use a thinner tape than I used in my video and maybe go for something with a smoother surface. Unlike the tape mod, you should use stronger adhesive tape for the holee mod, since the lube can mess them up if the tape is not strong enough.
