Yo quick question could you do a video on the Somali th80 pro like reach out and ask for a sponsor ship I rly liek the keyboard stock and custom

[@redkingracer6]

Would you recommend the sense75 over this?

[@kooljamba]

Ive been watching you vids for a long time can you pls make a video on how to mod non-hotswappable keyboard

[@gr.4380]

Where's the link where you sing us a song????

[@VOQSY.]

hipyotech im a gamer and i really want a budget keyboard that is not custom i am a kid can you make a video on a budget gaming keyboard for kids can you also scream HOWDY HOOOO bye

[@ZahirSalim-hl6lw]

thank you for going outside hipyo

[@moonsvc]

He needed that

[@camdenfurry5187]

I hate myself for saying this but after having a keyboard with a volume knob I can never go back to a keyboard without one. It's a tragic tale

[@conspiracykill]

knobs are for fondling

[@1Devilzay1]

Me but with any board that has dedicated media keys (I've never been a fan of media keys on function layers)

[@RoboCobeh]

Funny, personally I've always found the media knobs and whatnot to be basically useless (and kinda ugly tbf). I'd always rather have 1-2 more keys or less keyboard over a knob. Of course, this is all preference.

[@camdenfurry5187]

@@RoboCobeh how do you usually turn down the volume while you're gaming?

[@RoboCobeh]

@@camdenfurry5187 Typically with the volume control on the headset, though I don't typically find that have to change it "while" gaming if at all.

[@nosferat-ew]

I legit love the outdoor shots 😂 it was worth the extra effort in my opinion!

[@HipyoTech]

Thank you I also got a thorn in my foot

[@nosferat-ew]

@@HipyoTech oof, your feet really took L’s this video lmao

[@toast2401]

Howdy hey, recently got back into the mech keyboard market after a pretty long while and your videos really helped me find my footing again. Thanks for making content :)

[@SlavicMoose]

Excited for the Salsa Mod, can't wait to see if finer chunks or thicker salsa offer better dampening

[@LackofInfoOrSomething]

congrats on 700k Hipyo! Your videos have really inspired me to et into mechanical keyboards and even mod and make my own, keep it going my favorite hippo.

[@KuzTech]

CONGRATS ON 700K!

[@SolaireFlair]

I like seeing Kiiboom getting exposure. I have the Phantom 81 and the Phantom 68 and they're both excellent in the sub-$200 category. I forget what the switch is called but the one trying to be an Aquaking is actually incredibly good once you hand lube them, and the boards themselves have great feel and sound with little to no extra work. I'll have to get the Moonshadow to try out, your build has sold me on it.

[@jlee9360]

Their boards are overpriced for todays market especially when you have boards like MKC 75 going for sub 120 boards like the cycle 7 going for 150 ish.

[@ohroobz]

Your comment assumes the end user already has switches and keycaps available, and ignores the cost@@jlee9360

[@wave1401]

Thank you for not staying inside Hippyo. Also, thanks for the great content! It really is thanks to you and some other content creators that I have an amazing sounding Monsgeek M1. Best keyboard I've ever used!

[@Megallicafan18]

thank you for recomendation Hipyo, I enjoy this keyboard a lot :) and it's probably the first one I've seen featured here, that is relatively easy to purchase in Europe!

[@grubbygeorge2117]

Did you do anything to the stabs while modding this thing? If so, how were they completely stock?

[@ayeslump]

Love the before and after comparison.

[@cliffordduhh45]

What are the odds I just subscribed this week and just recently wanted to get into the hobby…and now there’s a video on an excellent beginner key word!! It comes in the same green I just painted my office wall, too.

[@MeliChannel95]

The acoustics of the board sound really good!

[@IffyOmalley]

Thanks for going outside hipyo! I'm def looking into these now. The green looks so nice. Side note: i dont think your referral code for the epomaker is reading correctly - everything after the question mark isnt linked.

[@he1go2lik3it]

This made my wooting sound quiet decent. Thanks!

[@graydust]

I recently got into this hobby. Ur video is hella entertaining for me

[@minisapo6652]

Thank you for going outside hipyo, if you watched this whole video. Because, I went outside.

[@jmanguming]

2 thing fiest i wish thisd was posted sooner cuz i just bought the IDOBAO ID80 V2 and i kinda wish i got this board but i dont want to go through the hassle of retuning the board and all of that and second what stabs would u recomend for thock for the IDOBAO ID80 V2

[@SlavaZone]

I appreciate you going outside ☺️ And THANK YOU, it was SO frustrating not to have access to one if your top rated picks!! 😂

[@CptJakeSpearow]

Recently bought some black lotus switches and they are FANTASTIC I cannot recommend them enough for a video Mr. Hipyo

[@blondie2775]

The outside shot with the vines was nice. Thanks for going outside Hipyo! 😁

[@jordandanaskos3074]

Hey Hipyo. Do you have any thoughts on the Monsgeek m2? I saw the M1 video just want to know if anything has changed

[@B1ASJ3ST3R]

Thanks for the video hipyo and for going outside. They sell this keyboard in purple. I’m very excited to buy one now. This will be the perfect keyboard for me.

[@JimiCanRead]

If I was motivated to try loads of keyboards and spend relatively a lot of money on one and stuff my top goal would be ergonomics, but seeing the mechanical keyboard boom over the past decade (mostly from the sidelines, admittedly) it seems like 99% of the boom has been in traditional unergonomic rectangle form factors

[@satibel]

The dactyl ergodox are still fairly popular. but the issue is that ergo keyboards are usually more involved as you can't use a regular pcb, so it's either diy or expensive.

[@ophirn.m7817]

Thanks for going outside. You helped me understand how fun it is inside

[@concernedcitizen6313]

I like the sound of Morandis (and the light diffusion!), but I find them wobbly and unstable. So, I frankenswitch a box-stem into them, and suddenly, they're a tiny bit less thocky, but a whole hell of a lot more stable.

[@Jutarip]

hello! sorry if this sounds stupid im not really into custom keyboard building but do the keycaps you get have an impact on the sound the keyboard makes? i am trying to replicate this keyboard but the keycaps are too expensive for me. if it does make a diffrence can you show me some cheaper keycaps, Thanks!

[@GAB027O3]

Hi hipyo, would you recomend or have any good comments no the Cool Killer keyboards?

[@DesiredDvalin]

Nice USB-C Cable Nola. Good Job, eating the cable.

[@concernedcitizen6313]

3:13 ~ "...and south-facing LEDs, for those of you who care." That's quite an evolution in rhetoric, my dude. Good job Hipyo, nice evolution right there. Good job.

[@PlzZnh]

Hi Hipyo, hope you can help me with this comparison: Between Wuque White (Silent) and Akko Haze pink, Akko TTC silent switches, which is the most silent? And which is the worst? (Consider all are Stock and little effort put into those)? Wish you all the best

[@TheChillBison]

Great vid. Have you tried Subuwu switches? I was so pleased with their pre-lubing.

[@TheKettleBlack]

Nice USB-C cable Nola. Good job on eating the cable.

[@rhymingbecktionary]

I've been looking to upgrade from a GMMK Pro that I got at launch, would you recommend the Moonshadow 81 over the IQUINIX Zonex 75? I like the knob on the Zonex 75 but I'm not married to it.

[@kermitpurcell6432]

Just bought one to build for my GF. Now I got to figure out a good keycap set that will look good with the green keyboard! Also, you need an affiliate link for Wuque as much as you're promoting them. I'm going to try them out with this board.

[@mohamadwazni4847]

Can you post a follow up about their ceramic keycaps? Did they fix the space bar issue now? Now that they’re done, how are they? Can you do a video about it?

[@LawDoctor]

1) Thanks for going outside! 2) Red is my favorite color (and Classic Red is my preferred GMK), but man, Pulse is just soooo pretty.

[@boofpack420]

how do you feel about the ws morandi vs the oil kings?

[@furry_oreo]

Hi, I’m a big fan! Would you mind testing the DUSTSILVER K61 BLACK GREEN NIGHTSHADE 60 PERCENT WIRELESS MECHANICAL KEYBOARD, since dustsilver is one of your old sponsors, I’m looking to buy it but I’m feeling a bit unsure lol

[@stormcloud7818]

Damn I was subbed before 10k this shit crazy

[@darthmiho]

Adding a note, that as of January 2024 as shipped the keyboard doesn't seem to work with via still. Tried loading the .json from keyboom's website to via but it doesn't seem to line up with the keyboard itself. (as in changes in the via software don't seem to show up in the keyboard)

[@beastmodebob2851]

What is the latency like on this keyboard?

[@hanthaman9746]

do you have to lube the switches for it to sound like this

Hi Hipyo, Have you ever wanted to build a battleship keyboard using custom pcb's?

[@kijinYT]

Do a stabilized wood resin keyboard! Love your content!

[@Zebra_Paw]

Looking for an under $120 keyboard that sound really good, what would you suggest?

[@asterisk4424]

Yeah so this is the first keyboard I've bought where I really did nothing in terms of mod and the stock sound was just perfect. Removed the bottom foam, removed the tiny gasket pad on the spacebar, and then re-screwed the backspace and spacebar stabs because they were getting stuck and I could notice the backspace was a tiny bit tilted and was sure damn sure it wasn't an overlube job causing the stickiness, it just needed slight readjustment onto the pcb. All the stabs were stock lubed to perfection, zero tick, and no stick after that tiny bit of rework. Also got via working although they really don't give you much explanation on how to do so, so it took some playing around with. Overall I absolutely love this board, it really does need no work to sound great and the no foam build is just perfection.

[@ProtoArix]

How does this compare to the modded Drop Sense?

[@robins7357]

Thank you for going outside hipyo if you watched the whole video :P

[@user-td6gb8ei3r]

Hipyo hi. Can you tell me or make a video for the best keyboard, switches and keycaps please.

[@6Eev]

i wish the sound tests weren’t as short and still have the modifier spam like the old days.. but i get it it’s for the retention thing for the algorithm, but it would be nice to see if the sound tests weren’t so short

I enjoyed the after. Outside scary. Never go again.
