Me guessing it costs $90 Hipyo: It's gonna be less than you think also Hipyo: $89,99 Me: damn, well played

My wife just looked over and asked "is that hippo man?"

This has been my first mechanical keyboard and it is an awesome experience. The low actuation linear switches took some getting used to, but I’m converted at this point. I was originally planning to do a custom keyboard, but when I saw this it was just too good. It is very distracting though, and makes me want to do typing tests all day.

Just a pro tip for anyone who orders the black model: it seems the reason why it scuffs so easily is because of a coating over the aluminum that is literally just brushing off with every pass. I believe washing it off with window cleaner (make sure that you do so when the keyboard is disassembled) or isopropyl alcohol and a paper towel. I did this myself and haven't had any scuffs or a weird powdery feeling since then! Fantastic board for the price, especially if you tune it that much more when you start modding it.

I think the translucent sheet is meant to prevent the hotswap sockets shorting out on the bottom of the case / protect from direct contact of pcb and battery

Omg get to the point

He is actually consistent in making videos

I have spent more on one set of keycaps than the cost of this entire board- And it sounds AMAZING- great vid hipyo

I bought this one about a month ago when the price was even lower. Superb budget board. Tune the stabilizers and you are golden.

It's $89.99, saved you 1:17

I'm modding this keyboard and found that the force break mod needs to have the tape at different spots. The screw holes in the top cover protrude a little over 1mm and there's roughly a 1mm ring of contact at each of the 6 screw holes. You can see them at 7:01 The raised parts on the bottom housing seem to only be for indexing the top and the gaskets.

0:06 i don’t know

Is it good for gaming???pls ansver me

something with electrical tape is that overtime it will become a sticky mess to try and remove

howdy hey, hipyo, i bought this keyboard a few days ago and couldn’t find any decent reviews, i was telling my friends i wish hipyo would post a video on this keyboard and you did! i was also wondering why there are so many variants of this! thank you very much hipyo keep it up ❤️

well, I guessed $50 bucks but you said it's lower than what we think.... you're wrong in my case

i even subbed before u asked me too so can i have a howdy hey?

HOLY SHIT ITS BLUE SRRY FOR CURSING BUT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A BLUE FOR SO LONG

you know its a good day when hipyo tech uploads a video

for those who want to see hipyo actually type on it. 10:11

"budget keyboard" it costs $100 💀

Me with a laptop keyboard: 🗿

I absolutely hate the sound that thing makes. There's no THONK. Like a really loud ass clack. It's too soft. I beat the the shit out of my keyboard like a game cube controller and I want that same obnoxious sound

Maybe 200 dollars considering the look and the THOCKNESS

$100 + 23% vat + up to 25% import tax + $35 shipping and i have to wait for months before it would arrive no thanks

"genuinely insane on how cheap stuff is getting" top tier comedy

I absolutely love this keyboard. We got it in purple but admittedly did change out the switches to KTT Strawberry's and it sounds more thocky as opposed to clacky. My daughter tried it and it is now lost forever so I had to order the new red version. When ordering I suggest that you also buy the random keycap set for only an additional $10. The gradient purple set that we received is amazing, great quality, nice colors, good lettering and matches the purple theme. Thanks for the review Hipyo, this keyboard is worthy of your praise. Cheers!

THIS COULD BE ARE SHORT BRO JUST GET TO THE POINT but w vid bro

"is like actually incredibly cringe" ah, yes hipyo tech, the lingual master

I already ordered one, and it's gonna be here tomorrow, and im just watching the video again to validate my purchase (my first mech keyboard btw)

To see about THOCK jump to 6:40 a bunch of time wasted here

just ordered mine off aliexpress with a nice braided cable too! super excited as this will be replacing my $18 temu keyboard lol (which honestly was great for the price)

Outemu Switches ARE NOT BAD, the cheap ones are. if you look good you can find really good switches.

can you review a typewriter keyboard of ur choice please?

Hey Hipyo! Are you planning on making a vid about the 8bitdo keyboard? I’d love to see what you think!

Love your channel! Very informative! But I must admit within the first 15 seconds I’m like “okay get to the clacking on the keyboard part!!!”

Hey Hipyo, for a 75 you could try "EPOMAKER x LEOBOG Hi75". It's another budget aluminum keyboard. Is there any noticeable difference in the keycaps between the different rebrands like the yunzii, womier?

Hipyo: "Do you see the difference here?" Me: its different colors Hipyo: "The *_only difference_* I see is this badge" Me: 🤨

I got it for €60, that's incredible

I bought this board on Ali express few weeks ago and have been just waiting for someone to make a review cause it’s amazing for the price

can you explain what is your definition of budget? here in asia, that keyboard is more than $120. i wouldnt say that is budget

Pretty decent keyboard I would say, probably hindered by lack of VIA/QMK support. The plastic film is PET film, most recently released boards actually comes with these and does affect the whole acoustics, depending on the build of course.

I bought the yunzii version, very very good. btw there basically the same thing, so it doesnt matter which one you buy unless you want the little logo next to the arrow keys and the option for mute switches.

5:24 I decided to buy this keyboard and I can say that they fixed the side lights and they are all blended now

Review sugar65 plz

i just hope that this THOCK keyboard will last for more than 6 months atleast...🙃

4:03 love that this was mentioned i think this could clear up a lot

I like Womier caps. They are the best price to performance company in the keyboard biz. I love PTP companies. For TVs Hisense is best. Don't overpay for the same technology and a name!!

yunzii yz75 kinda better overall, the rgb on the side, south facing led, etc

i am looking for a keyboard like the Al71 but with german layout. They don't seem to have different layouts. Are there similar Keyboards with German layouts?

The sheet is just anti short, so if you somehow bottom out the pcb to the case, it doesn't short. I don't believe it makes any significant difference in sound or any at all:)

1st hour hang!!

Guessing doesn't have QMK/VIA support otherwise would be perfect, plus 75% layout would be perfect.

I just got this keyboard, it's my first time having one that isn't built into my laptop. Thank you for making this a fun adventure and way less scary than I always thought it'd be! I'm looking forward to trying out the tape stuff! ^_^

New to the channel, binge watching… I wait for this new keyboard anxiously hopping I won’t get into another expensive hobby 🥵

Thank you for this video! I’m new to this keeby world, lol, and this is my second purchase. Now I’m inspired to MOD it - that before/after is VALID. Thank you so much for your channel!

i like light switches.. after a long day prefer it over heavy .. more then red and my fingers get tired.

I purchased this keyboard about a month ago because I had seen some positive reviews on RU-vid and was drawn to the incredibly low price (I paid only €73...). So, I was absolutely curious to see how it's possible to sell a full aluminum mechanical keyboard with switches and keycaps at such a low price, especially when all my other custom mechanical keyboards are well over €200. I must say I was absolutely impressed by the quality of this keyboard: CNC aluminum frame, gasket structure, case foam, plate foam, PE foam, good keycaps (and many extra keys for larger layouts), discreet linear switches (a bit scratchy despite factory lubrication), and some extra keys compared to the typical 65% layout, which can be very useful for assigning keys, especially here in Italy where we have the issue of accented letters. Most importantly, what convinced me was the excellent sound it produces right out of the box. Of course, with the mods we've seen in the video (force break and tape mod) and by changing the switches, you can achieve excellent sound quality, not far from much more expensive keyboards I own. Additionally, it has three operating modes (USB, 2.4 GHz, and BT) that can be really useful. The drawbacks (because there are some) I have encountered are: plate-mounted stabilizers instead of PCB-mounted ones. They need some work because they rattle and are poorly balanced out of the box. However, once properly lubricated and secured to the plate, they do their job. The keyboard is gasket-mounted but is not very flexible, especially inexplicably in certain specific areas. The keyboard is not compatible with VIA, although the Vomier driver still allows you to remap keys as desired. The RGB effects are decent (but personally, I'm not interested in them). In short, an excellent purchase, given the incredibly low price I paid (€73, including shipping from China to Italy), perfect for office use, quick tests on other PCs, and so on. Moreover, it's "in stock," so no tedious and exhausting group buys. In the end, I gave it to my nephew who had been looking for a wireless aluminum mechanical keyboard for a while, and he was completely satisfied.

HELLO, GOOD MORNING, I'm looking for a SPECIAL KEYBOARD for RTS games, because the shift, control, alt and alt gr buttons are used a lot, and I've seen the TKO with 3 space bars which would be comfortable to use those buttons, but I don't know How good is it, or is there another one like it that you can recommend!?!? I already subscribed. y si se puede q este en español HOLA, BUENOS DIAS, yo ando buscando un TECLADO ESPECIAL para juegos RTS, porque se usan mucho los botones shif, control, alt y alt gr, y he visto el TKO con 3 barras espaciadoras las cuales seria comodo usar esos botones, pero no se q tan bueno es, o hay otro igual q me puedas recomendar!?!? ya me suscribi.

I preferred the stock keyboard sound because the modded sound was inconsistent depending on which keys were pressed, and almost sound like crisp packet crunch, which would drive me crazy after a while 🤣

110??? maybe??????? hipyoihateyoui'maddictedtokeyboardsididn'tevenknowthatwaspossibleandimbrokenow

fun tidbit: most expensive custom keyboards are clacky by nature

wow

wow

I just got mine delivered and it looks like they actually fixed the side glow. I honestly can barely tell it's individual lights at all. Looks like they may have heard you on this one.

Please review the NuPhy Halo 75

I actually bought a barebones premium keyboard for USD 380 which didn't even come with stabilizers. After watching this video and because I was looking for a purple /lilac keyboard, I bought one (yes I used the link) Damn was I blown away. It sounded better out of the box than any of the keyboards I've ever built. And I've spent hours tuning stabilizers and lubing switches but this damn board sounded exactly like a fully modded keyboard out of the box. If you are new to mechanical keyboards and don't need a numpad, this should be your go to. Follow Hipyo's force break and tape mod and it will sound better than you can imagine .

can you try out the akko dracula castle keyboard, it thocksssss

its funny that i saw your poll then five minutes later a saw this video with the title thatdidnt get the most votes😂

Hipyo's cheap: $100 Me: $30 👀

I purchased the I purchased the Wormier and Yunzi version from Amazon. Both were the blue version. They are identical except for the badge on the Yunzi. The Yunzi was a little more expensive so I returned it.

how is the keyboard budget. it cost $159AUD. thats crazy. but its does sound nice

This is a really interesting keyboard for the cash BUT what the hell were they thinking with the nav cluster layout. I love the idea of all 6 nav cluster buttons but the default placement of the Home/End etc in that cluster is just dumb. Means you have to remap it and then bin the caps because of that, all with iffy driver software. If they bumped the price and made VIA compatible it would take over the market as the go to entry point board

Wow - for kicks and giggles I had just picked this keyboard up about a week ago and put the ceramic keys caps on it. But this board is absolutely amazing.

I bought the green version but the battery died after a few months. Now I just use it plugged in. Also if this happens to you, you have to unplug the dead battery connection for the keyboard to work using the cable. The battery on these are definitely a weak spot so be aware of this issue.

wait so what’s better yunzii or this or can i just get either

8:06 he starts modding the board 8:57 he starts putting the tape in the pcb 10:10 he starts sound test

why couldn't you make this vid sooner😭

Hipyo’s budget keyboard: $89.99 My budget keyboards: $18.99

Wait so painters tape or electrical tape? I've seen other videos saying never use electrical....

$90 is a budget keyboard? guess I'm poor over -9000

We like knobs and aluminium? Yeah, sure. Why not.

I did the tape mod on the case and now I have RGB leaking from the sides of the case because there's a tiny gap so if that bothers you maybe reconsider putting the tape. I cant really hear the difference but might remove the mod since the leaking RGB is bothering me

Hipyo, if I send you the pieces of my keyboard, and where to buy them, can you build it for me and then I pay you?

Lmao I guessed $90 because I saw the keyboard on Amazon a few days ago

seeing the cat in the intro, i thought you would be adding the cat's hair on it, and spend $3 for a cat comb

hey hipyo can u send me an aesthetic thock keyboard for free pls? :)

Honestly I thought this video was the iqunix video

Waaat? Your job description doesn't require applicant to own 10 mechanical keyboards, seriously? 😆

Hipyo: $89,99 Amazon Europe: €352,18 🤯 I guess amazon looked at this video Website : € 112,38 😂😂

What’s the 75% alternative to this, i have it and it’s brilliant but i need the extra keys

I Buy The Black One. Its realy the best keyboard for the price!!!! :D Only thing it could be do better: the lightining, when using white backlight it has a little purple hue. But the sound its awesome!!! Till now my favorite keyboard

does anyone make keyboards like this that are 100%?

Unreachable in Germany/Europe. Here it is 114EUR without shipping. (considering current exchange it should be 83EUR plus shipping…. What a pity.

Oka

LETSS GOO YOU SAW MY COMMENT(at least i think cause i suggested this keyboard)

suuuper good keyboard writing on it rn

i really was not ready for how good it sounded after it was modded. i have an epomaker rt1000 that im about to tape mod, so fingers crossed i get a good result!

Hey Hipyo, I need your help pleaase. I like the keyboard you showd, and the sound is perffect ! but i hate the design, I found another keyboard on thier website XVX L75 PRO Wireless Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard. is this keboard sound similar ? I am looking for that THOCK ...
