[@aipilot6795]

I have been hearing a lot about this keyboard, the switch/keycap combo you used sounds great!

[@ricecloud]

ty!

[@mcthemc98]

Anxiously waiting for you to drop the deskmat 😊

[@Miss_Wonderful1]

I would definitely buy it if I needed the F row. I like the badge but not that knob. It sounds wonderful and MOA keycaps are adorable

[@Ittumo_Nemui]

Very informative, I love your videos!

[@ilovecinnamoroll]

hi! do u have the link to the knob middle part replacement? thank u!! btw i love ur content 🫶🏻

[@Fajowski50]

Sounds incredible. I would love a longer version with more finger rolls and mods tapping

[@nessasaurus_]

Such a cute build :)

[@inotaddy]

keyboards that sound like heaven, this is something i need.

[@Maddy-y3o]

You make me wanna fall asleep to that 😅

[@zionchoi6545]

I'm commenting on one of you're recent videos bc you might not see it but I just wanted to say that the voice-over you did in the Thock King TK75 Keyboard unboxing video was so relaxing! You should do more voice overs, thats all I'm tryna say.

[@RememberTheTrees]

Thought I was subscribed? Maybe youtube unsubbed me or something but I'm back. It's so nice to see your channel doing so well after a couple years! No one does cozy quite like you, imo.

[@muhammadabdulahad4416]

Cozy💤

[@taxicab7774]

omg we need a full typing vid of this plsssss😭

[@KeebInTouch]

fun to watch

[@STARYYRBLX]

It’s SO CUTEEE I love the look and sound of it sm and $75 it’s pretty cheep for this keyboard (in my opinion) I was thinking about getting it but I couldn’t find the one u had anywhere 😢

[@ricecloud]

i linked the keyboard in the description

[@belushibelushi3841]

Love the keyboard 💞 Do you know where I can get the white middle part for the knob? 💝💝💝

[@LastSecBloomer]

This board is perfect for those loud and clacky long pole switches which are the meta nowadays, to tame their sound a bit.

[@cheeseman22]

does it actually sound like that irl, cuz i might make this build for my first keyboard

[@gearsgamer7115]

Hii, nice video as always. Quick question, what is the best ultra budget clack longpole I've been looking and haven't found any beacuse my qk60 is kinda dead sounding Thank you for this video as always -gears

[@ricecloud]

hey, thanks! not sure what you would consider as budget friendly, i highly recommend hmx hyacinth (v2u, since i only tried this specific version, but i'm sure they all sound great) and hmx swift, on unikeys they cost 28eur for 70pcs, 21eur if you go for 60pcs, even more cheaper if you use my code.

[@gearsgamer7115]

@@ricecloud thank you

[@anhi1807]

looking forward to hi8 review. maybe soon?

[@ricecloud]

i hope so, but leobog are currently out of stock, so i'm waiting for restocks rn x)

Forgive the ignorance, but what is that little keypad with the monitor displaying Tetris? It is so cool

[@UnrealClassified]

If the pub is 5 pic do I need a 5 pin switch or can I use a 3 pin

[@___flower.]

may i ask where you got the keycaps? thank you!

[@miokim512]

Did you re-lube the switches?

[@dima-ho6cx]

where do u get ur hoodies?! there adorable!

[@ricecloud]

the one in the video is from nike, i have the same one in black, some others are from asos and some i steal from my BF occasionally 🤭

[@GideonRE3]

Nice

[@Metrix2024]

What makes this a budget keyboard what does the other keyboards have over this? And why are they so expensive

[@RandomPerson-wy5pn]

Someone feel free to correct me as im not that deep into the hobby but from my understanding this is fairly budget because of things like how it has an aluminum case, a nice sound profile out the box, and a quick response time for gaming. I have a ducky one 3 mini which costs around 200 CAD new and I modded it with new switches, tape mod, foam, bandaid mod and holee mod just to get it to sound as close to this type of sound. Also, that keyboard has a slower response time and is fully plastic. So in comparison this keyboard has a lot going for it at half the price. You will be totally fine buying either the barebones kit with no switches and keycaps, or the pre-built, as it has a great sound with most switches you throw at it. I hope this helps :))

[@darells]

Are these switches prelubed? Or you hand lube it yourself?

[@ricecloud]

both switches are pre-lubed!

[@hihoyo37]

Omg, rice posted again asdlisajk;fjadklfjoakdmfl;kwjfl;kdsjf;sdjf love the coziness aa

[@mousepotato581]

"Budget" to me is like $30😓

[@ricecloud]

there are def cheaper boards, but i have not seen a board which sounds this nice out of the box at this price point

[@Metrix2024]

I swear it’s always amusing to me seeing $100 consider as budget for keyboards😂. I’m not a keyboard person so I don’t really know what makes one better than the other and for them to be so expensive

[@nebulazykbs]

there are quite a few great plastic keyboards like the Zuoya GMK series, but unfortunately you will have to pay more for an aluminum case

[@Wyn3e]

Features and materials and customisation is why in the cutsom world 100 is considering budget as custom keyboards can go to like 800+ to build and make ​@@Metrix2024

[@malcomflibbleghast8140]

nice keys, hate the racket it makes

[@soniak4728]

the hi75 has a history of bad support and bad software, on top of it being "the tiktok board", i wouldnt recommend it over other budget options like monsgeek or keychron, however if you're willing to take the chance it is a good sounding board

[@Kelsobunny]

As a tech girlie i appreciate the info!

[@ricecloud]

bad support? could you elaborate this? i didn't check out their software, but tbh i wouldn't have expected anything fancy considering it's a budget board. i agree that monsgeek is good alternative, but totally disagree with keychron, their keyboards are way too expensive, value wise. i own two of their boards and they sound very mid, even after mods. the only reason i see getting a keychron board might be that they have a good selection of ISO boards, which is not that well supported by other brands. if you want a good sounding board right out of the box, then the hi75 is the way to go, unless you don't like how it looks, which i can relate to. also, what do you mean by "the tiktok board"? to me, it sounds like that it went viral on tiktok. if that's the case then what is bad about that? i have seen this board everywhere, mostly on instagram

[@soniak4728]

@@ricecloud Bad support as in there is an unlikely chance if you run into a problem with your board (pcb malfunction, etc) you'll get a replacement/compensation/help Monsgeek and Keychron budget boards offer QMK/Via support so its already a step up, on top of the room for customization (many foams, plate options, etc), and the monsgeek M-series is an aluminum board On that Keychron thing, their V and V-Max lines (Max especially) I would argue is very good value for a budget board, and budget is $59-$100 ($47 on their V line with their Spring Sale right now!) they have QMK/Via, gaskets, tri-mode on the Max line, Mac and Windows support, and whatever i mentioned before. Also yeah what you mentioned, ISO support is pretty cool. Are the boards you own from the V line? Probably doesn't sound the best cause the stock version comes with an aluminum plate and you have to buy PC and other plates separate, but tbh it could totally just be a preference thing! With my experience of their Q line boards (not budget lol) they sound great, and with mods. Again, totally could just be different sound preferences. By "the tiktok board" i just mean, its usually a board that is hyped up on social media, such as tiktok and instagram, that might be underwhelming (but still good at least) after purchase. Mainly the bad thing about boards like the Hi75 is what i mentioned before, plus the fact theres an Epomaker version people might by, and with Epomakers horrible history does not seem like a good financial decision LOL BTW, in no way did i comment as hate! I love your videos and they've taught me a lot about this hobby, I look forward to them a lot :) Just thought I should share this stuff to give people a heads up before purchasing. But, like I said, if you don't care about fancy stuff like software and are willling to take the chance, it could totally turn out to be a board that satisfies you

[@nebulazykbs]

I prefer the Hi75 over the M1, personally. My only Keychron Q board was very underwhelming and overpriced.

[@user-jd3pk1bz8e]

You're wrong. The hi75 has a far better latency than the other keyboards you mentioned. And it's much cheaper. Check out some videos test out there.
