I was heavily debating on getting a Keychron V2 since all I've heard are great things. After a couple of videos I decided to go for an Akko 3068b (black/pink) since it had the look I wanted and like Keychron, it sounds good stock. I don't plan to mod anything until I learn more about the hobby but your videos have been a great start!

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. If you're looking for a versatile tool to keep your desktop and other spaces clean, I can suggest considering the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it handy for various cleaning tasks. Plus, its reasonable price and good quality make it a solid option compared to other brands. Hope this helps!

[@burningpromises1]

I hope you upload videos a lot this year. I just found your channel a few weeks back, and love your presentation when discussing building a keyboard. Because of you I bought a few cheap boards and keycaps to practice a build and see if it is a hobby I want to get into. Thanks for all the content thus far.

[@innovativeadvertising6463]

Hey {{3}}! I'm glad you found the channel and that you're enjoying the content. It's great to hear that you're getting into keyboard building and trying out different boards. Have you considered adding the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule to your setup? It's a handy tool for keeping your keyboard and desktop spotless. Check it out!

[@deevolveeee]

you got me into keyboards, and i actually made my first build this week. my interest in keyboards has been overly obsessive since i started watching your videos.... now since i didnt want to spend tons of money on my first build, i had gotten some of the cheapest stuff i could get, but the best reviewed i could find for the sound i wanted. i finally settled with a womier k66, gateron yellow v2 pros, a kilmat and some PE foam, and a super lube pen (i also got a cable mod cable, since i will never be buying another and its a good quality.) im getting some cheaper doubleshot pbt keycaps in, but i just wanna thank you for making some AWESOME videos to get me into keyboards, and to help me figure out what sounds best for me.

Hey, congrats on your first build! That's awesome to hear. As for your next upgrade, have you considered the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a compact powerhouse with vacuuming and blowing capabilities, perfect for keeping your desktop and other spaces spotless. Plus, it's reasonably priced compared to other brands.

Keychron

[@MichaelA-cu8zg]

I found your channel late last year and it inspired me to upgrade from my old keyboard of 6 years that was not hot-swappable. I got a Nuphy Halo75 with Rose Glacier tactile switches, and lubed the switches+modded a few of the stabilizers (most of them were surprisingly secure). Since then I replaced the switches with lubed Baby Raccoon linear switches and slightly heavier retro PTB keycaps. It feels and sounds amazing to type on, which is great because I should be happy with the tool I see and use while I work!

[@innovativeadvertising6463]

Hey there, {{3}}! I recently discovered the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule and it's been a game-changer for keeping my desk clean. The powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, along with the multiple tubes and high-quality filters, make it worth considering. Plus, the swift keyboard cleaning and efficient storage features are pretty neat. Check it out!

[@hcoberdalhoff]

If you take into account availability of ISO or JIS style keyboards, Keychron becomes even more of a recommendation in my mind.

[@TheNerdVoice]

So glad to hear someone else giving praises to the Keychron V-Series. It is...absolutely amazing. I have like...4 or 5 of them so far and I actually prefer them to my Q-Series boards.

[@rhyshughes9942]

these look good man, which one should i buy from their website?

[@peacecontrolclip2142]

I love your content so much thanks for reviewing these keyboards for us :)

[@themightycarrotknight]

Tried out three keyboards this year and my favorite is DEFINITELY the Akko ACR 75 V2. Sounds fantastic, gaskets and south facing with RGB underglow. And it’s quite cheap. I payed 72€ with shipping which is as expensive as the RK61 in my country. Absolutely in love. 100% recommendation.

[@leoying8131]

acr 75 v2 is definitely a great budget board

[@godofredo0409]

nice but has no knob

[@RigmanZ11]

I got the Q6 knob version, added some foam to the inside and it's a fantastic board.

[@deltasora]

Thanks Hippyo tech! I got a 60% womier earlier this year to tide me over until I can catch the keychron V6 in stock! tried a few diff mods, but I gotta say my definite preferred setup is (weirdly) some gateron oil king switches with a light lubing!

[@DanteSpec]

This video made my day! keep up the GOOD content coming thru this 2023 Hipyo! kinda love all the mods attempts that you have done. Thanks for everything!

Hey there! Have you heard about the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a handy tool for keeping your desk and other spaces spotless. With its dual-function of vacuuming and blowing capabilities, it's great for cleaning keyboards and reaching tight spaces. Plus, it's lightweight and portable. Check it out!

[@larshthecasualmechwarrior4123]

Thanks for the video! I know personally I'm still looking for the board of my dreams, but I think I may never find it due to its layout. I'm actually shocked that no one makes a board that is 60% or 75% with a left side macro. The closet I found was the KL-90 Woodland, but I can't spend the money for such a board.

[@innovativeadvertising6463]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Have you considered trying out the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule?

I'm new to the keyboard scene, and my first (and only) keyboard is the Keychron K8 and while I like it, gosh I wish I had seen a video like this, as it's allot more informative than my method of hoping enough people on Reddit gave me consistent recommendations.

[@rhyshughes9942]

which one do you recommend bro?

[@dreadlord9257]

I bought the GMMK Pro while it was on sale for Black Friday and am pretty happy with it. I recognize it isn't the best, but my keyboard needed replacing and I don't really have the time (needed keyboard) nor space to just wait around or have multiple options. So the perma-in stock is a major bonus that just can't be discounted. I came from an old razer chroma. I also bought their lubed panda switches, so far so good. I have noticed a few keys that don't seem to activate consistently. Not sure if that is a keyboard/pcb issue, or a common thing when you buy switches where a few in the pack are going to be DOA.

[@innovativeadvertising6463]

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your experience with the GMMK Pro. It's great that the perma-in stock option was a major plus for you. Regarding the inconsistent key activations, it could potentially be an issue with the switches or the PCB. Did you try reaching out to customer support for assistance? On another note, have you considered using the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule to keep your keyboard clean? It's a versatile tool with powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities that could help maintain your setup. Happy tech-ing!

[@WhomGodGiveth]

Your videos and many others really got me to go down the rabbit hole of mechanical and I got a keychon k8 pro. So far love it but haven’t gone and don’t anything like out sand in it :). But looking forward to more of your videos.

[@LordPenguinVR]

I do love all your keyboard reviews but the only thing I hate about custom keyboards is that they almost never comes in the layout I need. I need the Nordic iso layout because I am from Sweden.

End result - pop/THOCC! Again Hipyo, Thank you.😄

Even the C series from Keychron improved by a noticeable margin. I recently bought the Keychron C1 (for office work) and by stock it already sounded good with my FFF switches + Akko ASA keycaps set, and mind you, Akko ASA is VERY notorious for sounding like a pinging marble (negative way to described it) yet when I had with the C1, it all suddenly sounds thocky and smooth~

Got a keychron V1 around the end of last year and just did the tape mod and filled the spacebar with a bit of foam and it sounds really good. If anyone has recommendations for some easy to do mods I could do to it that would be cool. Sounds really good though even just stock

[@ToyKeeper]

The best mod doesn't even require opening the board: Customize the firmware. QMK is awesome.

[@adventurer3645]

Are there any videos on how to fill the spacebar with foam? Like what kind of foam? Do you glue it in place or just put it in there?

[@jerrylindgren7828]

Built a Keychron V series recently as a budget keeb for work. I did not like it stock so I have been doing a lot of experimenting with it. Keychron is now selling PC and brass plates for these so I'm hopeful those will be an improvement. Ended up adding o-rings to the tray mount posts which was a big improvement, and more o-rings between the top and bottom case mounts to make it sound less hollow. The top case is a bit flimsy and somehow I cracked it during one of many re-assemblies.

[@ITZnJeans]

I was planning to get keychron Q2 but thank you for convincing me to try other options. I hope you drop a video about 65% keyboards this 2023.

[@ServusLuis]

I've watched so many of your videos and I'm interested in keyboards but I somehow don't get it. Almost all of them look the same and have the same layout. It's so boring and borderline bad for sb like me who wants a 96 or fullsize keyboard because I actually need the numpad. Also not a single mention about ISO layouts. I don't want to critize you in any way but the keyboard community as a whole. There is so much we could do but it's literally always TKL ANSI and low-profile doesn't really exist at all. And I also want to mention the pricing. Holy sh.. 100$ for a pair of keycaps? What the actual f? Excuse me but who is seriously buying keycaps for over 50$. They remain pieces of plastic and they definitly aren't worth more than 50$. I don't think anybody will spend more than that but I could be wrong tho.

[@RyanVillamonte23]

I'm typing this on an NZXT Mini TKL right now, but it's my first mechanical and I got it for half price, so I'm a pretty big fan so far. I think that, as someone who's upgrading from an incredibly cheapo rattly membrane keyboard, literally anything would've been good, but I think the main reasons I'm not bothered by the issues you pointed out in that video are 1: I don't plan on taking this keyboard apart until I stop using it, 2: I think you might've cut it a little more slack if you'd gotten it for $60, and 3: I realized that I'm probably gonna need to build a split keyboard to prevent hand strain anyway, so at WORST, I basically just paid $60 for an OK set of caps and switches (which... I think is a decent price?) But yeah, all the problems you had in your video about it are definitely real; I just happen to have other priorities.

[@Amira0211]

I am really excited for the Akko Video!

I bought the Keychron Q3, but decided I need to keep my wrists working for the coming decades, so I switched to the Keychron K3 (RGB + hot swappable keychron switches) and loved it so much I got another for myself (instead of work). Initially I missed the keypad and the insert key (as a programmer I sometimes need it for a shortcut), but the keypad was just something I had to learn, and the missing Insert key can be used via `Fn + Del`. I now hate larger keyboards (like the Q3) - they're just too chonkey for me!

Hey Hipyo, I have been watching your videos for about 6 months now. I'm not sure if you've used this keyboard or reviewed it, but the vissles v84.

I am aware hipyo that the gmmk pro isn't the "best" option but I recently built one with akko silvers and di the tape mod. I also replaced the aluminum plate with a polycarbonate one. And i love this keyboard. I think the problems most were having with it was early release issues. The only issue I've had with it is the spacebar. (which is fixable) Anyways, great video. I also dont think its incredibly overpriced compared to other 75%. I also thought the gmmk pro looked the best to me. It's just personal preference and how much modding you want to do. Anyways great vid.

[@pixiewolf333]

I bought the gmmk pro not really knowing anything about keyboards because i fell in love with how it looked with the nebula keycaps and have fallen headfirst into keyboards. The gmmk pro is definitely worth it. Especially with the glorious app to control all the lights. I have certain keys (arrows, wasd, left ctrl, left shift) highlighted blue and green while i have an over all pink light effect on the rest of the keyboard. I also love the weight of it. Its a solid keyboard.

Next, I will be building something for my boyfriend as he got fascinated by my process and the final keyboard. Thanks to Hipyo and many other keyboard channels!

Hip, I want to thank you for all the entertaining videos. I stumbled onto your channel for some unknown reason last year. I'm almost an expert in custom keyboards despite never owning one or lubing a switch (thx god). I'm a video editor and I enjoy silent slim mac keyboards. So why am I here? There is something satisfying watching someone do all work. I think I would have a mental break down if I reviewed keyboards for a year.

[@rolanddenzel-authorcoach]

Thanks for this. I ordered a Keychron V Something because it'll be the first one I've tried since my IT days in the 90s. I don't know if I'll even like them 😅

[@dronzer115]

Hey Hipyo, Thanks for the video! What are the best low profile portable keyboards for someone on a budget, won’t hurt my fingers and still have that amazing thock in your opinion?

[@Michael-fw7ch]

Just ordered the monsgeek m1 a few days ago, which I believe is your upcoming vid you mentioned. My shipment got returned to akko and they haven't responded to anything yet, so hopefully you'll have better luck. Appreciate the good reviews man!

I like the selection Keychron has. I've not seen any other place with that many layouts available where you can guarantee the board will be decent quality.

[@CaseyHardman]

Bought a Keychron K10 as I needed something mechanical, backlit, and wireless for both Windows & Mac. Ended up swapping in Boba U4 switches and YMDK pudding keycaps. Moving that to my living room PC and am putting together a K10 Pro with Boba U4s and Drop Skylight keycaps. For full-size wireless mechanical boards, Keychron is the best (and one of the few, admittedly) available!

What're the knobs on the top right corner usually used for?

[@keepthetrash]

You introduced Keychron to me, saved me the trouble of trying out keyboards and I got a K8 keyboard that looks like an old IBM for $67 (with shipping). Thank you for your content!

[@nameless7211]

So far how has been going? Im thinking on getting a keychron but I havent really decide, and the K8 is on the list. I plan to use it for gaming and light office work

[@keepthetrash]

@@nameless7211 I use it for gaming and my work. I love it so far. I don't play many competitive games though so I can't speak to that. Its definitely the best for office work though.

[@blueangels111]

So im actually in an internal fight between the Bakeneko 65 and the ZoomTKL and both are in stock as of now. Is there a reason the ZoomTKL (V2) is better than the bakeneko?

[@wesleywheeler7891]

Not sure if this is the place to ask, but I'm looking for a keyboard that isn't gasket mounted (too much flex) and preferably in a 96% layout, though I could go down to a 75% if needed. I've been looking around for the past week and so far the only ones that I can find are Epomaker (which doesn't seem to have the best reputation) and a sandwich kit from YMDKeys (which seems to be a bit unknown). Gonna be using a Box Navy's if that helps.

[@96Houndoom]

I went for the nuphy halo75 instead. Was that a good decision? A big reason for it is the ability to wire to my PC and 2.5ghz to my Macbook. I also bought the air75 to use at my work desk or whenever I work out of home

[@pb6839]

Any pointers to a video on keyboards with numpads? there's so few videos on the subject. I think a lot of people (including myself) would like to see some more options at different price ranges since we need them for the softwares we use for work etc.

[@mikesawyer1336]

Now that's a thing I never knew I needed--- lubing switches.

[@TadpoleMalk]

This is one of the channels that is getting me into keyboard stuff and you also sound like Oversimplified sometimes thats a good thing btw.

[@UpgradeLemonade]

I picked up a Niz atom 66 a few weeks back, it's absolutely lovely 👌

[@user-jb7sy4kq2o]

thanks this helped a lot :)

[@brandonbourque7409]

Was looking at the numphys air 70 for portable work / editing / gaming board, worth it? I’m not a super savvy key board guy just wanna good one stock and ready to rock

[@amient587]

We gotta see a video on the Nuphy Halo75! Rose Glacier switches. It’s 10/10.

[@uramalakia]

Hipyo, I need to start writing my phd thesis and the thought of doing it on a laptop keyboard gives me the shivers. I opted for a Keychron K10 pro with white backlight and brown (tactile) switches. Is this an acceptable option for lots of typing? Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about mechanical keyboards (apart from using them loads 20 odd years ago). Are there any key caps that would let the backlight shine through the symbols on them, so they are better visible in low light? Doesn't have to be anything fancy, I care about functionality mostly. Thanks lots!

[@snipeyg7869]

Got this keyboard about a week ago and love it so much, thank you for the recommendation

[@vishnucr1735]

Hey i have a GANSS 87C-D TKL keyboard (BT and Wired). It stopped working one day, both in Wired and BT. It is getting detected as keyboard in windows though. Also none of the lights in keyboard is working. I have checked the light individually and it is working. What could be the issue ? I do not see any short in PCB as well.

[@wagonet]

Great video !

[@Savannah_Creates_Postcards]

Just discovered DIY keyboards and this channel. Do you know any merchants that sell yiddish/English key caps? Or where I could have a set custom made?

[@Woo5ter]

My main concern is as a writer the letters fading on the keyboards. I am currently going through three a year. So switches etc are not really necessary. Just a keyboard where the letters don't vanish after 3 or 4 months. All suggestions are welcome. Oh, and writers don't make much so price is definitely a factor.

[@NinjaSushi2]

I subbed. Good job.

[@JazzInATinCan]

I have honed the nerdiness level of my youtube browsing for many years. But this video. It hits the absolute top.
