This video is a detailed walkthrough on modding my Corsair k70 MKii (MK.2) low-profile keyboard with silver speed switches. 

The mods to this keyboard took several hours, so if you don't have much time, I would suggest starting with just the foam mod. Opening this board was rather easy, but de-soldering switches, opening the low profile switches, lubing them, and soldering them back into place, took me 4+ hours to do. 

I really like to mod keyboards. I had never opened low profile switches, and didn't see much out there on the low profile switches, but it turned out to be pretty easy, so I made a video! It was actually a ton more fun than I expected, easier than I expected, but took a ton more time! This made the keyboard sound so much better, more crisp, softer, and smoother. There was also a ping when I hit certain keys, which is now completely gone.
