I can see the lettering on the other keys fine, but it's basically invisible on the light blue keycaps. Maybe it looks different in person, but that's a major turnoff. And the internal weight is just hilarious. I can see that being justified by, "Well, it's for ergonomics so that the board doesn't slide around", but for $160, you could accomplish the same thing by giving it a metal frame.

I do have a second keyboard at the ready, though, because although I'm pretty in love with the Model M, it's really really noisy, and I can't really use it if I'm in a meeting or on the phone.

Only a quarter way through while watching. On the "tactile" front, I'll admit the custom keyboard i built myself uses the clicky Kahle greens (sage? I can't remember but they're green and clicky) alongside some low profile keycaps from Aliexpress of all places on an Epomaker (oh jeebs.... Just realised i made so many keyboards in my quest for the perfect keyb that i can't remember which one i used... Damn you, Hippyo, and your vids getting me into this!) Anyway, there's something nommy to me about that click-thock, so if he's talking about switches i can understand what he means (it's still a warcrime during game sessions using VOIP, but my work productivity has increased dramatically) Edit: I just got to the switch part. *LINEARS*!?! Gorram tactile-traitor! To the gulag with him!

@SwitchAndLever 3 месяца назад

As you so correctly point out the primary audience for this keyboard is not people like yourself, keyboard enthusiasts or afficionados, but rather a segment who generally know little about keyboards as a whole. For them "tactile" doesn't have any bearing in the sense it does for you, it's not a way to describe the function of the underlying switch below the keycap, but rather it is something that is connected with the sense of touch. This is something which holds true for all keyboards, whether they are mechanical, membrane, or even micro switches or dome switches, it's all tactile. A touch keyboard, or an on screen keyboard on a phone or a tablet, is not a tactile experience though. So his marketing material, at least in this aspect, is spot on, just not for you. This is the problem with terms which means different things in different contexts. For instance, I have worked as an interaction designer specialized in tactile experiences, I have never once designed a keyboard. Tactility is an extreremly broad field. Thanks for your videos Hipyo, they informed me a lot when I bought my first proper modern mechanical keyboard, though the experience of trying to find good keyboards with an ISO layout is an absolute nightmare. Have you had any thoughts about making a video about ISO layouts and the best keyboards in various budget segments? I ended up going with the Keychron K10, as it was one of the very few full size keyboards with an ISO layout, that also had bluetooth and hotswap, that I could find.

I found this video to be quite disappointing, bordering on populist and sensationalist. While your points about the keyboard might be valid, I believe the approach you took was rather unpleasant.

@hypr7213 13 дней назад

Explain how this video is "populist" and "sensationalist" please, as I don't entirely understand how those words are meant to be taken. Also how was the approach unpleasant, just curious.

@ArnauViaM 11 дней назад

In my opinion, the video comes across as "populist" and "sensationalist" because it exaggerates the keyboard's flaws early on, even though the creator later admits that the product isn't that bad. This inconsistency undermines the critique and mirrors the very marketing tactics being criticized when he claims Ali exaggerated the keyboard's marketing. Additionally, the video seems to be leveraging Ali Abdaal's audience for views, which seems hypocritical given his critique of Ali for using his own audience. Lastly, considering the channel's size, the production quality-script, editing, etc.-doesn't meet the expectations I have for a RU-vidr of this size.@@hypr7213

Hey, what's the keyboard you are using at the beginning of the video? I thought it was the one in the description (Womier S-K71) but it looks different

Best keyboard I ever had all around was an original Ducky Zero with reds. 10 years and still going. Best all around I’ve gotten recently was a Durgod. Only bought it because my machine gun typing on regular reds was annoying my co workers, and it was the only one I could find with silents for a reasonable price on short notice. Bigger issue for me is always the caps, and I prefer cuppy caps, so I have to buy a key cap set.

I think you forgot that not everybody who buys a keyboard is a massive nerd who wants to research keyboards.

@shogunlone4070 3 месяца назад

hi hipyo! nice video! also i have a keyboard that i think you should review. the tecware phantom is a mechanical keyboard that sounds absolutely amazing and has a starting price of only 45 dollars. i really thing you should try it out and maybe make a video about it

Hey Hipyo, can you review the cool budget keyboards that popped around EU market recently? You might have them in the US also, I am talking about Endorfy Thock full size with knob (5 pin hotswap, 2.4 ghz wireless & BT with lubed stabs) and Dark Project KD104A (it has optical lubed Gateron KS-22 switches, lubed stabs and its hotswap) they both go for about 100$ here. Ducky one 3 for example is 200$ and it should be much more premium but in fact it seems to be the opposite.

@FireworkGappy 3 месяца назад

The way Hipyo talked about foam in the keyboard (Well.. the lack of) made me remember there's thick fold of toilets paper inside my DREVO Blademaster TE... (It helped with the sound, you can try this if you struggle with foam.)

@ImusNoxa 3 месяца назад

Also now I want a hipyo keyboard. A good hipyo keyboard. That costs like $800 and is totally insane. But also has every customization known to man. Including silicon-filled keys.

@jamesvella 3 месяца назад

The only keyboards that make you more productive have a numpad :D I have a 75% nuphy, love it, wish I got the numpad haha

@shezpluscats 3 месяца назад

When you showed that side profile it reminded me of my K530 draconic, which I paid like less than half what he’s charging (which yeah, it’s a 60, but the k631 is the 68 and still cheaper even when it’s not on sale). And like someone else says - for a productivity keyboard, where is the numpad? As I said in another comment, I like a good chunk of Ali’s content, but this just rubs me the wrong way. Thanks for doing this!

@Poke_DNA 3 месяца назад

You should review the Yunzii AL66! It is what this board should have been, but about $60 cheaper. They are readily in stock and really great value.

@ciaojay7025 3 месяца назад

The metal weights are kinda nice to make the board more heavier instead of using a silicone and make it more muted. But I would rather buy a Tofu 2.0 for that price or just wait for Neo65 r2 for a cheaper price

Hi which app do u use to record the soundtest of keyboard. If u use obs studio with a mic can you show me the setting please?

@hellbreakfast1590 3 месяца назад

I've been enjoying the keyboard content, but also Hipyo is a man that looks exactly like a guy that would review keyboards (complimentary). As a man who also looks like I should review something niche, I feel seen.

@frederickmichaud6783 3 месяца назад

I’ve watched Ali since almost the beginning and I got into the hobby in part because of him, with a IQunix F97. That was a good board :) maybe he should have done a collab with them

What is the keyboard at 10:03 ?(black/gray, with letters in the front of the keycap).
