THE GK61 - The Entry Keyboard that COULD! O-Ring Mod+ for SOUND and Feel

Welcome to Keybored! THE GK61 - The Entry Keyboard that COULD! O-Ring Mod for Sound and Feel

Ever since the start of my channel, the one keyboard video that got the most amount of interest was how I O-Ring Modded the TOFU65 for that crisp and even sound and feel.

Since that TOFU65 video, there has been a lot of requests to visit the GK series of keyboards, and the GK61 especially for its ubiquitous presence in the entry keyboarding hobby. For good reason too! This is a very accessible 60% custom keyboard that provides many an opportunity to enter the keyboarding hobby. When I came back from a long keyboard hiatus, this was also one of the first keyboards I grabbed to check out what all the new "hype" was all about.

So you asked, and I did it! It's been a while since I had a GK61 in my hands, so I had to reach out to Banggood to send me a new GK61 Kit. Check out what happens to the GK61 once it gets some O-Ring Love, Plate and Case Dampening, Keybored Style!
