So basically to get any type of interaction you have to be a paypig? And here I was thinking this was a place to share knowledge and talk about keyboard stuff. Back to Maker Mod's and the people who aren't 17 going on 8yo! It's a shame, I was going to put hippo caps on my silver QK75 but I can't support a "creator" that ignores EVERYONE but those who pay you. DCX it is! I tried to share a really good keeb you left out and absolutely no one has seen it. You liked the posts right beside mine. Then I go look at the people who support the channel and coincidentally the people are the same as the ones you like their comments.👌 I guess since the keyboard I suggested doesn't make you any money you don't want to draw any attention to it? Have a good life hippo kid. Hasn't been much actual good content for about a year so I'll check back in and see if we're still doing these 12 year old kid gamer keyboard roundups! Toby is as "skilled" at woodworking as I was in high school. Look up the person Doug Stowe. He's a world-renowned woodturner and one of the top wooden bowl makers on earth! He was my high school woodshop teacher. I could make one of Toby's keyboards for about $50 worth of materials. I could not believe what you and him thought was a fair price and what people are paying for a 30 minute no skill run it through the machine pattern, use the router for 1 minute, keyboard we could have easily made in high school. Really sucks, I was hoping to get some interaction here but I think it's very clear why I never do. Sorry I don't have any money to give you I hope all of the teenagers that are subscribed give you lots of money!✌️

I recommend for beginners buying boards and whatever for modding on sale. I bought a Keychron on sale and bought keycaps on sale. The only semi stupidly expensive thing I bought was my cable, but that was based off of several things I sat on for a few says before buying and I'm glad I did. Keychron was for my first modding attempt and I have three other boards I bought a while ago to also hopefully mod.

I recently bought a keyboard from dust silver, I bought the peach oolong with gateron black switched (I love the sound of them) and it’s my first ever mechanical keyboard. I 100/10 recommend for beginners and on a budget. It’s sounds amazing so no need to mod which is great for me who can’t mod and it’s pretty cheap, and that’s coming from someone who payed a lot for shipping.

Hey Hipyo, awesome video! My Zoom 65 v2 is finally coming in next week after ordering during the group buy in late January. The biggest thing I've learned getting into this hobby is you need to be extremely patient. (Or having unlimited money also helps. XD) If you do have the patience then group buys seem to be the best value proposition. The TKD Cycle7 group buy coming up looks like it will be a great value if you are just jumping on the bandwagon and missed the Zoom 65 & 75. Also, it's exciting to see that it is fully CNC aluminum compared to other "entry level" custom keyboards that use cast aluminum parts to reduce manufacturing costs.

I personally run a Keychron K8 and IMO, it's not bad. If you need a hot-swap board with bluetooth because your work gave you a laptop and you hate its built in keyboard, then the K series is probably a good start. They also have released the K8 Pro which has south facing LEDs, is customizable with VIA, and has foam included, while still being hot-swap and bluetooth capable. Saving up for that one. Keychron is generally a good recommendation for budget boards. They have almost every form factor and layout available. There are better choices, of course, but they're a good start.

I just bought the Tecware phantom elite+ and it arrives Friday, its the perfect combination of gaming and custom keyboard for less than 100$ in my opinion!

I ended up getting a Keychron K4 v2 with the Gateron G Brown Pros (the basic version with plastic frame and white backlight) for only $20 CAD. It was listed as "used - very good" on Amazon but seriously still had the security seal sticker on it, wonder if it was an unopened return. That would be more of a Lucky Budget keyboard.

very nice and informative video. keep it up

A great keyboard company is Mode Design. Their keyboards sound very good, you can customize a lot. A weight of aluminum, stainless steel or copper. A plate of those materials or POM or carbon fiber, etc. They also offer their own switches and keycaps (if you want those).

I personally not too long ago went with epomaker ek68. 90 dollars with shipping and taxes(I caught sale) for wireless, rgb, hot-swap 65% keyboard with knob was amazing. Also with gateron yellows 2.0(factory lubed). This was truly something what I would say "budget"(yes, I am broke student). It got colored keycaps that caught my attention(the grey and gold matches my purple mousepad) and as someone who was using kailh red switches with some cheap ass pudding keycaps previously these switches, keycaps, etc. seemed a lot like an upgrade.

just did a build im here for buyers remorse. I personally got a 5075s with tactiles and switched them out for gateron pro yellows that I lubed. I also did a tape mod. I spent around 150 i think? Minus lube and tools. I'm pretty happy with it, but you NEED to lube the stabs.

Love your videos, mate! My keyboard of choice is the Steelseries Apex Pro TKL. Its dual-activation feature is great for gaming. To be sure, it ain't exactly a budget-friendly board. I just ordered a Keychron K14 Pro. I never liked any of their low-profile switches boards, so am looking forward to seeing if the K14 Pro's standard Reds works for me.

This made it harder. I’m good with putting work into my keyboard but I also want a keyboard I know will be good.

The one that i really like, and just got is the EpoMaker Th66 Pro with their flamingo switches, and man does it sound awesome right out of the box, for 90 euros, it is super good

I bought a GMMK pro about a year and half ago, at that time it was like the ONLY remotely custom option you could get in France without paying stupidly high import fees. I bought an open box through Amazon warehouse (which was just opened and never used, prolly because the dude wanted an ISO layout and it was ANSI), so saved a bit of money there, bought some switches that I lubed, some durock V2 stabs, some nice keycaps and it ended up being around 250€ while sounding incredible. I tried the polycarb plate but it was meh, not holding the switches properly so I went back to the stock alu plate. Removed the internal foam to give room for the gaskets, did a tape mod and now the keeb sounds pretty incredible. Honestly I understand how overpriced it might look, but if you know what you're doing it can still be a great board at a decent price if other options are not available. Glorious is a bigger company than most other keeb companies, even keychron so their products are more available in general.

gmmk pro was a good competitor 2 years ago, but it's just a waste of money if you were to buy it now. The budget options outlass the gmmk pro, speaking from personal experience after buying the gmk67 with KTT kang whites, it sounded a lot better than my gmmk with tangerienes, and it surprized me so much. And the gmk67 build was 80$ total while the gmmk pro came to aorund 250$. So yeah I honestly dont think the gmmk pro is worth it anymore.

I have a keychron V6 with a mix of oil kings for main keys and durock T1s for modifiers and things like enter this thing is awesome. i tape modded it and lubed the stabilizers and I love it

🙌nice video! Thanks for sharing!

Dude! At 4:04 the wood keyboard had standard galactic alphabet on it. I NEED

I have built most of the keyboard Hipyo has recommended and they are all great, but I still end up going back to my K2 pro and k6 pro for my daily drivers. I will 100% agree w/ the WS switches, I am addicted to the yellows.

hey i know its been a while. Ive been looking into getting a keyboard. I really want it to sound kinda creamy i guess... Ive got like 130$ to work with. Im not really sure if this is possible any way you can help?

E-YOOSO Z-19 is one of my favorites.

I love your videos and the work that you do. I owe you an apology, Hipyo. When I first started getting into custom keyboards, a little over 2 years ago, I made a comment about a 150 dollar keyboard "not really being budget friendly". I was coming from keyboards in the 25 to 50 dollar range at the time and had the opinion that 100 dollars was an expensive keyboard. Now that I've had time to assess the HUGE difference in quality and experience, BOY WAS I WRONG. I'm an IT tech, and while I have nice peripherals at home and in my own workspace, I get reminded on a daily basis when using client's stuff how much better even the 150 dollar "budget" options are that I started out with a couple of years ago. Today, I personnally don't have an issue with paying 200 to 300 dollars for a keyboard. Not only are the quality and experience worth it, but if something does happen to go wrong with the keyboard, I'm not just throwing it away and buying another complete keyboard. The same goes for not liking some aspect of the keyboard. With switches, keycaps, plates, cases, and most other parts being individually replaceable, they can be swapped out at any time. In the long run, the original investment of 150 dollars or more can actually even end up saving money. So, with all that being said, I am sorry for my original noob comment that I made. Today, I completely get it, now that I'm educated, and will never go back to what I call the "trash" category of keyboards.

Hey Hipyo I need your opinion on gaming keyboards. Which do you think is better: the SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL or the RK61 Wireless? I'm torn between the two and would love to hear your thoughts on features, build quality, and performance.

thanks, are cheap optical switches worth going for in comparison to cheap mechanical switches? I'm talking under $45 for a keyboard

Keychron V1 is awesome, can confirm.

Hi, thank you for the incredible videos. What are your thoughts on the FL ESPORTS FL980 96%?

I'd really like to do a custom keyboard, but I've had trouble finding a wireless option with good rgb lighting, independently controlled. I'd like each key to be programmable and the keycaps to have transparency for all glyphs on them. I really don't get the ones that only show half the glyphs. I need it lit because I use it in the dark, not just for aesthetics. Most keycaps are hard to tell what they actually look like with backlighting in the dark. Prefer the keyboard base to be black and the keys to be black. I like the color to be set by the lighting. Any recommendations?

Okay first off, you have been the most engaging out of all the keyboard videos I have found on KZread. I haven't viewed all your videos, but I'm hoping you may be able to point me in a more specific direction for my query. Short story, I have small hands and find keyboards a stretch when typing. The main keys I use in my job are Tab, shift, control, alt, arrows, number pad and f-keys. I recently received a new keyboard at work and hate it. It has dropped my productivity quite a bit. That's when I found out not all keyboards are the same. Work won't buy me what, and I don't know what I want. Help! please! With sugar on top!

I love my Logitech mx keys … one day I will get a keychron because of the info in this channel 😊

Comment for engagement. Great video why didn’t I know about your reviews in 2016?

I just bought the Strix Scope II 96 Wireless (ugh that name lol) yesterday and have been testing it out today. Hardware-wise, I'm kind of blown away by how big of an improvement this is over my Logitech G910 (with tactile RomerG switches). It sounds **amazing**, at least to my newbie ears, and I'm not fully used to them yet but the linear switches it comes with feel pretty great as well. The only downside hardware-wise is the alternate symbols not being shine-through on the number row or numpad but I can probably get past that. The big issue though is holy fucking hell Armoury Crate and Aura Creator are both such absolute garbage pieces of junk. I mean I already knew that, since I have to use Armoury Crate for some of my component RGB, but that has been an easy set-and-forget since I just prefer 1 static color for my components. But with my Logitech keyboard, I could customize per-key RGB and have a lot of cool effects happen very easily, and can switch RGB profiles per-game executable, all with a relatively smooth UI and (most importantly) very little background CPU usage. Armoury Crate comes nowhere close to that. I don't need to get into a full rant in a KZread comment but man...I'm thinking about having to return this KB just because the software is *that bad*. Maybe if the keyboard gets supported in SignalRGB things might be okay, and I see that other models of the Strix Scope II product line are supported, so....but I dunno.

I just got my Zoom TKL today.... 7 months after purchasing, when they said it'd be shipped in 4 months. Now, this isn't uncommon in the keyboard enthusiast space buuuut I do think it is a joke regardless, that a company can promise one thing, and deliver another w/o criticism. All things considered, the board is FANTASTIC, I love it even with the only couple of hours since receiving it. Meletrix is no joke, and I am really going to love this board.

Please review the NPhy Halo 75 series! Would love to hear your take on it

Hi Hipyo, thanks for making these awesome vids, what's your go to budget silent switch? I'm looking to build a budget board for work and I'm stuck on which switches to get

I am too lazy to subscribe sorry hypio. Also I love your vids man. Because of you I got interested in custom keyboards and just ordered the zoom75 to go in my first adventure in this realm. Really excited for the journey but still no clue what kind of switches and keycaps I should get.

Awesome content 👍

You should try the dark project keyboards ... they are the best sounding and feeling stock keyboards i have ever seen. I personally have the KD83A. I had a keychron before and i preffer this one by a lot. And iI payed 100 Euros less for this one.

I think you should try last royal kludge m75 and its previous model the h81. I need a review about those two

Sense75 Gang was here. It's a dream keyboard after modding, and the mods are super cheap!

I love the concept of the keyboard and i really want iiiiiiiiitttttt

Ive been using the keychron K2 V2 since 2021 and its been great! I am using gateron reds, and the Drop lord of the rings Dwarf keycap set. Only complaint is that I just realized that my key switches arent hot swap.

Fine. I've watched enough of your videos.. I'll subscribe now. Though I do see that connectivity is not part of the selection criteria. Was considering the gmk 67. Is that a good choice?

you are very helpful

I got my first mechanical keboard a couple of days ago, I was using a logitech wireless fullsize keyboard and the keyboard I went for was the Keychron K8 pro brown switch. From, my limited use of it so far I am really enjoying it especially with the RGBs. I might at some point get different keycaps but for now I am happy.

@@JovanKK My logitech one was non mechanical it was the MK270 which I accidently broke one of the supports. The Keychron is light years better at home, at work I use the MK270 as its quieter (my keychron uses brown switches) less heavy and I sometimes use the num pad

I just got mine Dark Project 87 Night Sky and im so happy with it really good keyboard for just 50$

So I have the GMMK2 and that's my main baby. That is the one that stays hooked up to my desktop all the time. But lately, I've been buying and upgrading keyboards that I can bring to work and use with our shitty work laptop that I absolutely hate typing on. It started with a k6. I put techee sapphire switches in it (after I lubed them), and replaced the keycaps. Surprisingly good after spending about $110 total between buying and moding. Next, I got an Epomaker TH66, which I honestly liked right out of the box. I also bought a Womier S-K71 which was another one that was really good out of the box. And then most recently a RK61. That one needs a little upgrading but I haven't started yet.

yes please switches too would be a fun one to cover

In your reviews can you include comfort because I know that some are very high and not too comfortable edit: can you also review the rk-h81 I think it could be a good budget board

Hipyo! k621 from reddragon? :) love your videos btw, and I AM subscribed :p

Me sitting here watching with my Keychron Q1 I bought 2 years ago happy to know I still got a decent board for someone whos a keyboard noob, after years of "gaming" keyboards.

i like to game but i also like a good sounding keyboard so this video was really helpful to finding the right keyboard

I bought an Royal Kludge RK68 on prime day. Aluminum case. Blue switches hotswappable. I just put some eva foam sheets in it and presto shes sounds beautiful

Are there some of these 75% keyboards that feature a wrist rest? I know I sound like a boomer but I've gotten used to my corsair mx silent strafe with wrist rest.. That thing is super done for (leds flickering, keys broken from use and somewhat filthy) so I need a replacement now.. Appreciate the vid!

I really like royal kludge for a budget. $60-70, hotswap, usb-c, Bluetooth and 2.4g wireless on most models
