I Built a LUXURY Keyboard... (So You Don't Have To)

In this video I build a luxury custom keyboard the Freya 68 Ultra. I use Morandi linears and GMK Fuji keycaps - is it worth building this keyboard?

I found a beat up rk61 in the trash and cleaned it up and put a keychain on it. When I use it I wear a monocle and a top hat. I think it counts as luxury if you do that.

Hey Hipyo, I’ve been using the EpoMaker TH 80 SE 75% keyboard, and every time I look at it I kinda sorta think the logo on the right is an eyesore, do you think it’s possible to mod the keyboard to have a mini OLED display?

[@Jamaican_Sunset_]

What do i do if my computer says that the last USB device has malfunctioned in response to my keyboard?

[@guillermocendejas382]

Hi Hipyo! I love your channel, thanks for all the content. I was hoping you could help me figure something out. How long does the battery on a mechanical keyboard usually last and do they take super long to charge? I just got a mojo84 by melgeek and I noticed that it takes forever to charge. Thank you!

[@MrNetik3622]

Hello I have a really important question if I want to take a switch of but one clip broke can I take it off without desoldering

[@justsomerandomdudethatyoud7806]

Can ya do a review for the leobog hi75? I'm considering a budget alu keeb and cant decide between it and rainy75. Thanks so much!

[@jack_2612]

tbh, I bought the Zoom 75 two months ago thanks to your videos and I kinda feel like buying an expensive keyboard might be worth it, but only in a few cases and definitely depending on where you live. I haven't watched the full video yet, but let me explain. I live in Italy, so importing the Zoom 75 (which was in stock btw, so I got it like three weeks after I placed the order) meant 150 euros of total shipping costs just for the keyboard itself, split into shipping, taxes and customs processing fees. The keyboard was 229$ and the keycaps I got were the WS PBT from Meletrix itself (it saved me quite a lot in shipping, having them both in one order) at 82$. After that, I needed switches and the tools, being my first custom mechanical keyboard. The switches, as per your recommendation, were Wuque's Morandi and they cost me 45.15$ with 26$ of shipping on top, while the tools I bought from Kinetic Labs were 63.95$, 18.87$ of shipping and 35 euros of taxes and fees. In total, a Zoom 75 build cost me about 600 euros. That's right, guys. Yes you read that correctly. The video Hipyo made about this keyboard? "It's a super nice budget keyboard to start!" and many others said the same. Fun fact, all of them were Americans and all of them advertised the keyboard as a 200-250$ keyboard. That's fair, but the full picture is very much different if you live in Europe. I felt like commenting to let you guys know, maybe someone is considering buying a custom keyboard and expects a mild price tag for a mid-range keyboard and would therefore get an unpleasant surprise down the road. Going back to high-end keyboards, they don't really make sense to me because the Freya would probably be close to 1k in Italy, or at minimum 800. I was curious because when I got the email the black edition got me kinda excited if you know what I mean, but yh that is just too much for a keyboard imo. If I were a full-time home-office kinda developer I'd consider it for sure, but there are plenty better ways to spend one k for me, like maybe saving it to up my budget for a nice watch I can actually wear or something. That said, the Zoom 75 has opened my eyes to the keyboard world and it's amazing. The feeling I get when typing is something else and I now understand why this hobby became so popular, given everyone on this planet uses a computer daily. If I had a ton of money, I probably wouldn't need to type on a keyboard all day, but it'd be nice to have a very high quality custom. Not having a ton of money and having experienced the difference between what youtubers based in the US say and what I actually have to spend makes me wary about this stuff tho. Well, best of luck to anyone picking up the hobby, hope you have deep pockets!

[@MrKaare60]

you're 100% right which is the reason i stuck with the sk71 from womier i piad 120$ for it with express shipping i also bought HMX Clouds switches fairly cheap at around 34$ and then i bought some keycaps from epomaker for 40$ so i spend 194$ and personally i think this is as premium as i'm willing to go to build my own.

[@dodo21x55]

Same here, based in Poland

[@sebastianbelcredi655]

I wanted to ask a question since you seem to know. I also live in Italy and I'm looking to buy my first keyboard. I'm looking at the Neo 80. To ship that keyboard plus some vertex v1 switches costs around 240 euro with shipping. the keycaps would also cost 125 euro with shipping. Do you think this is a good price to pay for this keyboard?

[@holdenhodgdon3756]

Holy shit: I think this post has got a higher word count than the script for this video.

[@jack_2612]

@@sebastianbelcredi655 I’ll be honest, I don’t know this particular keyboard. however I googled it and it looks quite nice, so if the build quality is good (I suppose you have already watched reviews of it) I’d say the price is definitely a nice deal. Keep in mind that, at least for the first keyboard, you should check if it has VIA compatibility and RGB. If it doesn’t, I would suggest looking elsewhere. The keycaps are also decently priced; they are on the most expensive side so I suppose they are gmk or have artisan special keys, but that’s a good choice. If you got cheaper switches to save on the budget, trade a few euros off of the keycaps and into the switches though. Switches are definitely more important for the sound and feel of the keyboard. As for the tools, like the lube for example, maybe try the keyboard first, if both the switches and the stabilizers are factory lubed. If they’re not, you absolutely need to get Krytox and a full kit (keycap puller, switch puller, brushes and the Krytox itself, and finally a switch opener) and it’s not that cheap, cost me 100 from Kinetic Labs. You might save quite a lot of money buying some traditional lube and cheaper tools on amazon or in a local shop (in ferramente magari). Enjoy your first build when you get to it, it’s a lot of trial and error and it’s awesome!

[@stephenpena7813]

I don't like that display, but to an audiogeek like myself, that pitchfader is so cool.

[@MarcoH72]

It’s great to see a budget board for a change.

[@Co1orIess]

Would you do a review on the DrunkDeer a75 or g65 keyboard? Would they be a good budget magnetic switch keyboard?

[@coughfee_beans]

One thing to keep in mind is the amount of saved time and guarantee that it all works for the price. I just built myself a luxury board from buying everything and assembling it all myself, lubing the switches myself too. It was time consuming, difficult, as a first time I fucked up a bit, had to spend extra money on getting all the tools and products required to even attempt modding a keyboard. Honestly, not a terrible price. I think I've spent around 350-400 on the keyboard parts themselves + the things required = 500 and that doesn't even account for accessories and new keycaps soon since I'm not satisfied with all the sets I have but damn does it sound, look and feel heavenly. It's only my 3rd board, first I mess with besides the keycaps and I consider this my nearly endgame one. The market doesn't seem to be ready for my endgame so I'll just wait for some years.

[@GarLynne]

@coughfee_beans what kind of switches and kit did you decide on? did you include any luxury accessories, like either of the knobs in the video? Nicely done on your first build. It can be a real bitch sometimes. I always get nervous I'm going to f something up and just feel like leaving it to the manufacturer means it'll be in better hands than my own (even though I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself). Cheers.

[@TheForkMan3]

Hey I just got some ceramic keycaps from Cerakey, I need a good case and whatnot to put them in cause my Corsair keyboard isn’t working out. But idk how to build a keyboard and imma need to be walked through cause I’m a bit slow, can anybody help me out? I have a budget of $250 excluding keycaps as I already have them. I want a full size with some extra features

Preordered the Valhalla version of it, still can't really decide which Keycaps to get for it, can't wait for building it tho!

Hey Hipyo, I just want to say I hope you get your hands on a Boog75 and the Melgeek Cyber01 because while I know one is awesome the other seems...interesting. Would make for some cool videos if you ever get the chance.

[@caseydobiesz7926]

@hipyotech would love your help/insight. Looking to upgrade my current mechanical razor keyboard with a custom board. I have an irrational love for the Aluvia Aluminum Key set. Since that’s going to cost me a pretty penny I thought making sure the rest of the board is up to the quality of the keys would be great but have lots to learn. Let me know if there’s a way to connect!

[@AznRealization]

Thanks for reviewing this keyboard! I was looking into it but was ultimately deterred by the 60% layout. Price point was way too much for what it offered :(

[@tH3_b0pL3r]

What lesson this video teaches me is that this hobby has diminishing returns in a lot of aspects. I’m chillin with my ~$35 custom keyboard I built from taobao which is (in my opinion) about 90% as good sounding/feeling as this one. Of course, it doesn’t have the feature set of this crazy expensive keyboard, but I don’t need a screen or a knob on my keyboard.

[@Levar_rc]

Hipyoooooo, keychron Q max review when? I feel like it comes with so much more foam than regular Qs, that it deserves a separate review (and i couldn't find a single non-stock sound test and who needs stock eh?)

[@kingdaryl1643]

would you say that this is better than the odin 75?

[@g_popster641]

Can you do a Boog75 review, I saw it on your 60 keyboard video so I’m curious for a closer look.

[@oSals.]

Is the epomaker x aula75 a good budjet 75% keyboard? It's $69.99 and apparently sounds amazing. My current keyboard is a overpriced and awful sounding Roccat keyboard and I have been thinking about buying a new one. And if you have any other suggestions for a 75% keyboard around the same price that sounds just as good or better please tell me.

[@waterfaII]

i like the corrupted snippet at the very very end where the end cards come in

[@KuroRyuu86]

wow keyboards are getting more creative, including the springs. ive gotten out of this rabbit hole since last year. But its interesting watching it from the side-lines. I think my early days High End keyboard set me back 800+usd and total upwards of 1000K. 7V first gen.

Where do I look for on purchasing them? What marketplace app should I check and if there is a website, which websites are the best?

[@Alsry1]

Personally I’d say singa makes the best boards like the kohaku shown in the video. somehow Elaine (designer) makes keyboards that sound amazing no matter what. I have the kohaku and I love it. Only issue is getting the boards are hard because they’re raffles.

[@Merp_bot]

Can't believe the number of issues you ran into for that price tag, and you still have a positive outlook on the board. If I'm getting a prototype that they "will fix going forward" I'm spending prototype money, not no DAMN $440. Pretty scummy if you ask me. Especially if you received this board for free, I would have ripped it a new one

[@flyguyhern5369]

Try lubing blue switches with coconut oil only on the top of the switch, it made mines thock

Hi Hipyo, I just bought the womier SK71 and I love it ! The sound is fcking amazing I wasn't expecting this. The only pb I have is that it doesn't have the F1-F12 row and I kinda need it. Do you know any keyboard that is exactly as amazing but 75% ? Thank you for everything you do, your work is very useful to all of us hipyo followers :D

[@DerekLovesPho]

Hey Hipyo, can you review the Aula f75. It’s supposed to be the king of budgets keyboards of 2024.

[@Avruthlelbh]

I feel like diminishing returns hit pretty hard after the ~$150 range for just the case, but switches (especially tactiles), keycaps and mayyyyybe the tech such as a screen, etc. tend to have justification for their price tags. Aluminum is aluminum, and there's only so high a grade you can go before it simply doesn't matter, but it takes a lot to make a good switch, and a lot to make a good design, so of course they're gonna cost you. Sure, you hit diminishing returns on linears almost immediately, but there's SO much room for error and preference in tactiles, it makes it impossible to get it "right" for everyone like you more or less can with linears. The problem with tech (other than wireless, and VIA support) is that it's almost always just flashyness and that's about it. RGB is fun and all, but a screen that maybe displays your CPU temp or whatever.. it's never ACTUALLY helpful, it's just there for fun, which isn't a bad thing, just not worth the price for me.

[@Nathanc6308]

I ordered the day of release

[@jasonchen792]

I ordered mine from Taobao and received it like yesterday (ordered it end if december last year), the keyboard stock sounds and feels amazing, I plan to swap the switches for glorious pandas.

[@GottaLovePartyin]

TLDR; I discuss my exp buying a luxury keeb (QK100 for my budget), and why I’m happy with my choice over the Zoom75. I have other keeb projects on the go, so if I buy another *luxury keeb*, it won’t be until late 2024 or next year… unless my friends ask me to build one for them. So I bought my first ‘luxury’ keyboard last summer during the qk100 groupbuy. I had to make the tough call between the zoom75 + zoompad and the qk100, because both groupbuys were happening at the same time and I couldn’t afford both. Before the qk100, I had modded my first keeb only 4-5 months prior (a keychron v5), and just finished building my kbdcraft addams with the southpaw numpad variation. so the next keeb was a BIG jump for me in price & skill - I needed to feel confident I could build it, mod it, and get the most return on it without buying anything extra. Ultimately, I needed a numpad and buying the Zoompad separately would have cost me too much in money & desk space. I’m happy with my decision to buy the qk100 because I feel like I have a great base to mod & upgrade over the years. It’s my daily driver for work, was a good price, has a fun LED screen (which I’ve loaded with silly gifs that I switch based on my mood), had a helpful build guide, and has all of the keys/functionality I needed. I do miss the per-key RGB exp I’d get from both my keychron & kit addams though, so that’s a priority for whichever keeb I buy next. I am still considering whether I’ll transition to an 80% layout at some point for my main home setup. It will require buying a separate numpad for work, but then I can store it away when I’m gaming. But in the meantime, I’m modding my keychron v5 to be my go-to silent keeb for on-the-go work, so I think I have enough going on for now. 😂

Crazy high cost on that keyboard. I really like it but the slider cap makes it look cheap, they should have went for a different color on it.

I've already ordered a copy with the flex cut PCB, so here's a question: what's wrong with it? Maybe just preference? I can still modify my order before the GB ends, so let me know! ;)

[@leftcoastfunk]

if you're into the aesthetic, the collectability, build quality, and uniqueness - then YES a "luxury" or high-end custom keyboard is 100% worth it. My personally owned current favorite keyboards were $140, $260, $320, $600, and $910 and can say without a doubt I have the *least* amount of regret for the two most expensive ones. There is a difference there that is palpable, if not sometimes difficult to describe. Don't get me wrong I also love love love my cheaper Jris and QK boards but at the end of the day they just don't hold a candle to the more expensive ones and they spend a lot less time on my desk in daily use Side note, I was totally gonna go for this GB then a "never-opened" Mammoth75 with extras popped up for sale and I couldn't resist jumping on that instead. Also, the burgundy Freya isn't available with the silver weight which I found to be a huge bummer since the gold of the side profile, the gold of the back, and the gold of the Freya weight in the middle of the back were three different tones which I personally didn't like the look of
