Modifications
Krytox 205g0 applied to the inside of each slider rail — the thinnest possible coat across all 116 contact surfaces for a smooth, uniform keystroke.
TriboSys 3203 applied to the exterior of each stabilizer slider and interior of the housing. Produces a feel consistent with the rest of the board.
Krytox 206g2 applied via syringe to every point of wire-to-housing contact. Eliminates stabilizer rattle completely.
PCB lubrication eliminates the noise of capacitive springs and domes pressing against the board. DESKeys open-top domes: springs also lubricated with Krytox 105 oil to eliminate spring crunch.
Topre silencing rings installed on each slider to soften the sound of the upstroke and bottom-out.
0.3mm Poron gasket between the metal plate and slider housings. Eliminates housing rattle, improves upstroke feel. Originally developed in 2020. A must-have for RGB and GX1 Realforce boards. Unreal Plate Gasket
Thin Poron pads installed under the spacebar stabilizers. Cushions the bottom-out and eliminates the harsh clack of stabilizer contact with bare PCB.
1.2mm O-rings installed on each keycap to prevent bottoming out without affecting travel or feel. Especially effective on stabilizer keys and the spacebar.
Sorbothane hand cut to precise dimensions and installed in the shell to absorb vibrations and improve low-end acoustic resonance.
Housings, sliders, and keycaps ultrasonically cleaned to remove all existing lubricant before work begins. Required for any board being retuned.
