I recently bought the Aula F87 on Aliexpress for $60 and boy is it good for the price, like damn budget boards have improved a lot in the last few years.

A bit more info on the screen, and overall opinion of the board/switches would've been nice.

The sound deadening is pretty safe if you never need to remove it as it’s impossible to remove without leaving a bunch of the butyl behind. Being butyl rubber for the aluminum backing you don’t have to worry about shorting anything.

9:08 You're a legend for using this clip

GMK 87's are awesome, I remember trying to find a review from you when I built my keyboard using it.

Never have I ever expect a keyboard could be this SILENT Nice editing and explanations on keyboard mods and building btw

Keen to see the review of the Lucky 65. Also keen for a review of the Ajazz 820 Pro - another cheap plastic keyboard but with hot swap, knob and screen

There's a very simple solution for the difficult to remove Kilmat - just cover the board in tape first. Use a good quality tape with some stretch to it, something like 3M Clear Repair Tape.

Thanks for including my fav switches ever! Peach Silent V2's are so money

Since i started to watch your channel i was about build one myself this GMK with some akko yellow cream was a dream come true, thanks for puting me in this world Hipyo!

I was looking for a new board and thank you for this. I did go with the Lemon V3 switches and Womier XVX/ ISA profile keycaps. I also did a 2 layer tape mode on the PCB but man thank you. I love this keyboard, the quality, the silent switches. It is better then any of the prebuild keyboards I used from Ducky, Fnatic, SteelSeries, Roccat, Razer and Cherry which are almost twice the price in my country.

hipyo try not to clickbait with keyboard price challenge: impossible 😭😭 as always tho great vid much love

Nice video hipyo its always very interesting to watch ur content

Neat. I'll have to keep those Outemu silent switches in mind next time I'm looking for stuff. I love me some silent tactile switches.

YESSS THANK YOU IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

just ordered the parts. i love the colour of the caps. thx for the vid

It sounds so good !

I'm loving the silent peach v2 on the Varmillo Bluebell. Also got some silent peach v3 (same sound profile in an mx housing style), and they are incredible lubed and filmed

Hipyo! Please do a review of the best keyboards with knobs and/or screens!

Yes! This is just the video that I wanted, I've been considering building a custom keyboard from Aliexpress. Now I have a parts list!

I love your videos hippo thank you for helping me I’ve finally build my custom zoom 65 thanks for your help

love how this looks

love this editing, something seems different but I really like it

As an artist, i love the fact that you mentioned and even tried to protect us while buying, like, i know so many artists suffering due Aliexpress rip offs, Thank you so much for stopping and knowing we exist

This is terrifyingly almost identical to my build. The fact that I am using GMK87 and a PBT keycap set that looks close to the one here is funny. Currently I'm using Akko CS Crystal which is not bad. I've been considering silent build so I bought myself an Outemu Honey Peach. Edit: A little more things I'd like to mention out of nowhere. It's interesting to see that the GMK87 that Hipyo bought has a slightly different set of things that was out of the box. On the barebones that I bought, it already had a poron foam and IXPE sheet in between the polycarbonate plate and PCB but it also had a plastic sheet on top of the PCB that I don't think was in Hipyo's GMK87, so I think it's okay to remove it if the plastic sheet is there. In fact I recommend removing because depending on the IXPE sheet cutout, your stabilizer stems might make extra goofy noises especially if there are air pockets under the plastic sheet right under the stems. The stabilizers are not too bad but they will almost always rattle a bit because of the bad *plate-mounting* design I guess but should be fixable with some small tape mods or just get a better stabilizer. I'm considering to buy something called an Ice Cream V2 stabilizers at my local store which I have no idea what that is and I don't see any info of it in the internet anywhere. One interesting thing is that my GMK87 already came with a poron foam that sticks (and removable) under the PCB that is not present in Hipyo's GMK87, which he used Killmat instead for that. I personally suggest using 2 to 3 layers of masking tape instead because that would be less destructive while giving you the same effect. And then the rest like the PE sheet and silicon layer that was in the case were present so yeah other than the ones I mentioned, it's not too different. At least for silent switches, if you're looking for a good one, I highly recommend to just go with Hipyo and I bought here, the Outemu Honey Peach V2 (5-pin mount variant). Like Hipyo showed, the switches have pads on the sides of the POM stem. It has a light pre-lube amount which is not bad in my experience, I'm the type to enjoy hand-lubing and the lubing on the Honey Peach is pretty good that I didn't feel the need to lube it. The top and bottom housing are made of nylon. Overall, it's just a good silent switch for the price you'll be paying, and that is very cheap considering the average price you'll see for a silent switch. Lastly, if you're considering to start with building a keyboard, unless you have a fixation on the casing material or the layout size (which is a tenkeyless/80%), and some other things that anchors to your personal taste, I would highly recommend starting with a GMK87 right away. I want you to take note of the price of the barebones one more time. For that price, you'll be getting an 80% keyboard that is gasket mounted, has moderate flex cuts on the PCB, a heck ton of foam and sheets for dampening, a knob (KNOB!?), a small screen that you can switch the contents between the keyboard's status monitor and two other still images or GIFs (the highest framerate it supports has a frame interval of 60ms, which gives you around 16.67 FPS or a factor of 50/3) you can set via a software, supports VIA tool, south-facing LEDs with nice lighting modes, and three connection modes including wired, 2.4GHz, and Bluetooth. That is batshit insane.

Hipyo: "We're gonna need a *rewind* " Somewhere: _"mArKASs bRoWnLEE kPop!"_

I've been using this keyboard (tape modded) ($40), Outemu Summer Linear switches (no added lube) ($20), and cheap cherry profile clonekaps ($18) as a daily driver for about 6 months and have been loving it. I probably swapped out the the stabilizers and lubed those up with some cheap kit by Epomaker (sub $10). Nice to see the board discussed on your channel. Also have experience with the Silent Peach and the Silent Cream switches mentioned here. Peach are a little too light for me, so I always come back tot he Silent Cream Yellows on other boards I've put together (all always under $100).

I have some of the Outemu silent tactile limes in a nextime 75. It is my office keyboard (I'm a medical claims processor) and wanted something that wouldn't bother my coworkers. It came out super nice. I ended up using some cheap transparent acrylic keycaps which actually added a little bit of sound and chatter but it was still easily the most quiet board I've ever built and it still feels pretty good. It's more silent than my gatereon silent brown optical numbpad and that's pretty quiet itself.

Dude, this sounds amazing, would take a look on the Irok N87, i want to get a cheap hall effect keyboard. Great vídeo, the only thing that is missing on your video is your cat =D

Holy cow that is a quiet keyboard that is amazing! Well done sir!

Thanks for helping me with keyboards

I've used the silent cream switches for a few years now. They've gone through a few monor revisions. Thry are excellent switches. They use the same molds as the expensive Gazzew switches (U4T for instance).

Just assembled this board and god, what a sound, it's my first mechanical keyboard, and it sounds beautifuly! Thank you Hipyo for this thing!❤❤

My rainy75 is coming in in 5 days

It’s amazing❤

I have the outemu silent peach ones. It's incredibly silent and delicious to type on.

So. I hear you're writing a book. "Thockomancy. The Esoteric Keyboard Arts" 😁

Can u pls upload more, I know it cost a decent amount but I really love your content, it makes me laugh all the time but I've watched it all....

I got the Outemu Silent Honey Peaches recently and was surprised by how truly silent they were. Not really sure if I like the feel of the silicone dampeners in linears yet. For quick light presses they feel fine, but for firm hard presses they feel a little unsatisfying. I didn’t really mind the feel of the Akko silent penguin tactiles as the bump helps it feel more meaty. Though the bump on the penguin’s do introduce more noise then the dead silent Honey Peaches.

I put the Outemu Silent Peaches in a Keychron K8 pro. I haven't done anything else to it yet but the switch from Gateron Browns to the Outemu Peach was really nice. Initially I was really concerned about the peach tinting the RGB since by comparison it was very pink. But once they're all in as a full set you can still get really nice blues and greens. It's my first ever mechanical keyboard.

I'm looking forward to a review of the Lucky 65

I have a GMK87 and bought Oatemu Silent Linear Switches 2 weeks ago. I feel so seen.

Literally my setup (except keycaps) can confirm that keyboard is pretty nice, been using it for abt 6 month now. only issue it sometimes looses its 2.4Ghz connection for no reason and clock on the screen is absolute trash (it drifts a lot and only way to set it to real time is to connect with usb and run image custom tool - app that changes pictures on that screen)

Love your content! I’m thinking of getting this setup but change the switches to Wuque Studio WS Switch Morandi what do you think about that?

Nice work :) I've finally managed to make my (nearly) ideal silent keyboard - the Keychron K3 with optical switches, lubed with GPL105 using a syringe (ain't nobody got time for disassembling switches, surely?), the keycaps from a K1 Pro and cheap rubber o-rings from Amazon. Absolutely silent, wonderfully low travel and only six mismatched keycaps, because Keychron hate people who use the One True Layout (ISO).

woah $25 off $100 is actually a decent deal - building one of these myself with either the tactile silents or a linear graywood v4. Though the price of the base board went up to $50, two sets of 100 switches (in case I wanna build a 96% like I usually prefer with one later) and these caps (from another vendor, since they're sold out from the linked description) was $90 shipped with tax using that code. nice.

Nice, incredibly strong rock climber fingers Hipyo.

Damn, that's real quiet. Now I feel like modding my venerable K8 Pro, just as soon as I get a hold of my senses and my will to mod. 😂

I'm using the outemu cream yellow (or milk yellow depending on translation) silent tactile since earlier this year, and it was great. I also tried out their linear silent peach but the lack of feedback on both tactility and sound makes them feels really uncomfortable. However, I uses the linear ones for modifier keys like Ctrls and Shifts to reduce strains on my pinky fingers. I uses a regular tactile (Everglide Wild Pansy) for the spacebar because silent switch on spacebar feels really really mushy. The keyboard I'm using is Aula F87, which is damn nice, full RGB, side RGB, and an RGB strip above the arrow keys that can indicate battery level

I'm considering those silent linears for a Planck build. Can you do a video focusing specifically on similar switches?

This made me excited to get a mechanical keyboard. I don't like how loud most keyboards are. I'm just a little sad you didn't show how the keyboard sounded before mods. Because if I'd order the same items, I don't have that foam, so mine would be louder.

Nice build

HIPYO, STILL WAITING FOR THE AULA F75 VIDEO

I daily drive the gmk87 with kang white switches and pbt caps. Works well

Nice incredibly strong rock climber fingers, Hipyo what else do you do with those incredibly strong rock climber fingers?

This is perfectly timed because I ordered a GMK87 a couple of days ago.

So that's a real budget custom Keyboard! Wp sir

that's pretty quiet, I wonder how long the 'gel' would last

As someone who didnt see the Asus keyboard video, i can say that it's because i didnt want to hear your voice too much and accidentally fall inlove❤

I had to return that exact GMK87 base a few weeks ago because it randomly shut off and did not want to wake up again. Might give that Lucky65 a try although I like 87key boards more...

Just a question, not really related, are you going to review the wooting 80he when it comes out?

What are your thoughts about the Royal Kludge RK S98? It has all the bells and whistles at a budget price and is really decent for a full sized keyboard

Nice incredibly strong rock climber fingers Hipyo, what else do you do with those rock climber fingers - rock climb??

The lucky 65 seems to be interesting!

Can u pls build a budget full size keyboard

Genuine question: official Hipyo ISO keyboard recommendation video when?

I have lubed, filmed, silent ink black in my Q3 and they're soooo damn good.

are you gonna try the shortcut studio bridge 75 soon? i want to see how that compares to the nd75 and rainy75

To remove killmat and other sound deadener car builders tend to use dry ice to hard it and break it off in frozen pieces, probably doesn't work well for keyboards but FYI.

Now build the loudest keyboard possible

Hi there I'm pretty new to keyboards and I just want you to review AULA F75 pls. =))

Hey hipyo, what else do you do, with those extremely strong rock climbing fingers?

What triple mode 65 or 75% keyboard would you recommend that is cheap but can be modded to make it a decent keyboard over time? This way I can get a decent start and upgrade it as I go?

I recently bought an Akko 5075B Plus on aliexpress for $40 and is been excellent the only thing missing is the screen.

Try Attack Shark k86. Is basically this but pre built for less than 50 usd.

Could you plss do the same video but with a creamy budget keyboard of ali express (and review the piano switches or what ever its called)

Hello hipyo i really wanna know if All of the keyboards in your videos is hotswappable

Ok, I must say it's the first time I really consider building almost exactly the same keyboard you did. I was after a non-aluminium wireless keyboard and landed with RK84 which is in my opinion very good value, but I really wish I've seen this video earlier, because I don't think RK is as good value as this (via? KNOB??? 🥴), but here we are...

Imagine they pit the knob on a 3 axis Dpad Still turn it for volume, but now you could press in for play/pause, left right for next/previous, and then up/down could be contextual, or like on my car, next/previous folder.

nice incredibly strong rock climber fingers

I wonder if they updated the board, mine has the switches pop off in the uiop and below area when I try to stick them in

Do you guys have any recommendations for a good keycap set on amazon

yes please review the Lucky keyboard

In order not to anger my workmates, I recently changed my office keeb switches for the Peaches. And man these are SILENT. I think I don't like the mushyness that much, I prefer my Kailh Deep Sea), but they are definitely really good switches given the price.

Nice incredibly strong rock climber fingers Hipyo, what else do you do with those incredibly strong rock climber fingers? Just wondering.

how have you not heard of the lucky 65 and you are a keyboard content creator.... lol

What are the outemu silent tactile switches like compared to kailh prestige silents

Holy hell that sound test.

Could you review the Aula f75? I have recently bought one and I would like you to say nice things about it so that I feel good about my purchase.

man this video is just in time for me, I was just thinking about building my first keyboard after watching your gmk67 video. Been watching plenty of review videos and a few tells me to make holes in the pet sheet before putting the switches in??? dunno what that does, but sadly your codes doesn't work in my country so rip.

Those keycaps look VERY similar to a set I have from KBDFans

Any recommendations for a cheapest full sized ISO please?

Bought a Aula F99 and threw some of the Peach V2sz in. Stupid quiet and under 100 dollars with minimal effort. The V2s are nice yall

well was about to buy this board or the leobog hi75 but I had to delay my purchase for a month just to get myself a monsgeek m1w since the 75% layout is my preference

please review the lucky65 i brought one of them recently and would like to see how you build it!

I’m very curious about the Epomaker Ajazz AK820 Pro, have you tried that keyboard?

Bro the switching scene music got me💀

Once again asking you dear Hipyo to try to do the same with ISO layouts as well. i'd be a really nice challenge. And you'd help out my fellow ISO bros.

I watched a bunch of your videos before I decided to build a silent keyboard. I went with the Silent peaches V2 as well, I got, like, 70 of them, completed with outemu purples just because I was curious to see if it was any better than the browns (it's a bit more tactile, but still a bit too wobbly). Then I regret using the purples and bought the silent lemons V3 instead. They're very good too. Because I like ABNT2 keyboard format, I ended using a Redragon K552 barebone as a base, but it's ok.
