having a cheap plastic case and acrylic plate adds more thock than any modded $100+ case i’ve seen.

Cheap plastic case/boards ftw. None of my boards match the thock of my royal kludge rk61

I got a keebmonkey clone of the rk61 for around $25 if i remember correctly and threw some bobas in there with everything stock except lubed stabs, and it was far thockier and much less hollow sounding than either of my bandaid-modded, foamed, $200 aluminum cases with screw-in stabs and several hours of experimentation and mods put into them. It’s hilarious how the best materials for deeper keeb acoustics tend to be the cheapest ones (acrylic and abs), yet we still spend hundreds on metal plates and pbt plastic when chasing thocky sounds.
