I tried the "Craziest" Keyboard On Amazon... (So You Don't Have To)

I tried the Acer Predator Aethon 700 - the "coolest" Keyboard on Amazon... It can change from clicky to linear with the press of a knob - but there's one problem... IT SUCKS.

[@conm9891]

Thats not linear, thaats just less clicky. Everyone could hear that except you. It doesnt acrually switch anything.

[@busomite]

Oof, that’s maybe the worst final sound test I can recall hearing on the channel.

The clickiness of those switches, while in clicky mode, seems rather understated.

Kinda

[@showlate1]

agreed, might be the actual video just being bad tho

[@DylanGroube]

Yeah I get linear to linear

[@concernedcitizen6313]

Do I have really bad ears, or does the sound of the switches not change from one setting to the other? They both sound virtually the same to me, maybe like two different clicky sound profiles.

[@bobjohnston1239]

Same

[@insaitYT]

I was about to say the same thing! I can hear a slight extra click (or something that sounds like really bad spring ping?) on the clicky setting. These clickies sound so linear, but like shitty linears. It's weird.

[@NunontheRun]

I thought the same - It's likely that my speakers aren't so good.. I'll try with headphones.

Numpad, and please real full-size and none of those 96% or 1800. Just leave my keys in the usual place, thank you!

[@fungalgrowth]

a separate tenkey is a modular numpad

[@phil21s]

@@fungalgrowth You're not wrong, but most keyboards nowadays appear to be in the 60-75% range. Even then, a lot of group-buy only TKL boards only get their numpad counterpart way later, or not both of them are available at the same time. Plus they are often larger together than a simple full-size. Anyway, the whole point of this hobby is customization, but somehow for people who like full-size boards the options are somehow more limited in this space. Feels sad.

[@helljester8097]

That knob allows the keyboard to switch from just vomit inducing to oh my ears are bleeding too!

[@thebillyd00]

Anyone else hear basically no difference between the linear and clicky modes before his mods?

[@HipyoTech]

It was REALLY tough to record the difference because of how chattery the switches were

[@Billy_The_Frog]

I don't think those are even double shot keycaps, they just look like translucent keycaps sprayed with a layer of paint that eventually wears off with usage and you can no longer see the legends. Its similar to the keys on laptops with keyboard lighting. The legends on actual double shot keycaps will virtually never wear off as they have 2 layers of plastic to separate between the keycaps and the legends on them.

[@Smarfton]

Would really love a review of two epomaker models the TH80 Pro v2 and the Shadow-S Via. I tried the Epomaker x Aula F75 which says it's gasket mounted and 5 layers of foam, but the switches couldn't even be mounted properly because of those layers. The shadow via s has a similar design, I think? I currently have your keycaps and ice latte switches in the th80 pro and it is very smooth, but it has the knob and I don't really care about it. The th80 pro v2 did away with the knob but included a lcd screen. I just don't know if the v2 works as well as the 80 (v1) or if the Shadow s via is the better choice.

[@ToyKeeper]

What are those keycaps? They look like AFSA profile but slightly different.

[@jiriv.1641]

Hello HipyoTech & community, I could use a little bit of help. Well a lot actually... After a long while, the Razer Cyanosa Chroma that I currently use, is slowly starting to show its age and I started thinking about replacing it. I'm slightly leaning towards the budget side of things and was thinking about getting the Akko 5075s ( barebones) as the foundation. For switches, since i dislike clicky sounding switches, after a lot of searching I stumbled upon WS Morandi linear switches. Apparently they are good? As for keycaps I have literally zero idea. Preferably plain black or monochrome (pudding?) so they fit with the blackout theme of my Lian Li Dan case A4-H20. I have literally zero experience with building keyboards and I don't even know if the switches and the board are compatible. I can only hope for some pointers and recommendations. Best regards George

It really says a lot about the quality of this site when my comment adding to the discussion about an Auala keyboard is removed yet my obscene comment about Goblin Mohan stays up.

[@YTKeepsDeletingAllMyComments]

This site is a joke.

[@stevegamer68]

The underside of the original keycaps appear to be one homogeneous plastic, indicating it's most likely painted on, and the legends etched off the paint, instead of double-shot printing. These caps are not well known for durability, and over time the paint can wear off essentially leaving splotches of clear plastic underneath the paint.

[@DragonTamer00]

That Spacebar even after the Mods is obnoxious... As for the Numpad, I mean... I use one, But it's external now. After discovering your channel, I came to love 75% and TKL Keyboards now. And the Mods? Hoo Boy...
