Quite amazing how you made a cheap keyboard so premium. I have found Drop keyboards ship with the absolute garbage stabs and frame. I replaced stabs, did a holy mod, foam boarded the board and I still get this odd rattle. I now use that Drop keyboard as paper weight.

I ended up grabbing the Sense75 a couple weeks ago ago for the sale price + the Drop Keyboard Club coupon and was able to grab it for $70. I followed the mods done by Scott/Keybored and honestly it's an amazing value and top quality keyboard after modding it. Drop if you are listening: DO NOT TAKE THIS KEYBOARD OFF THE SALE. Literally my favorite keeb right now!

They will definitely take it off sale. Why do you think they sponsored this video? They retailed this keyboard for $400 when it first came out, at least that's what I remember. Weird that Hippyo mentions $250 as the original price but pretty sure the white version was higher?

Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I totally get the struggle of keeping our setups clean. Have you considered trying the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a handy tool that combines powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities to keep your desk, living spaces, and even your car spotless. It has some cool features like multiple tubes, washable filters, and efficient storage options. Definitely worth checking out! 😄🔧

I bought this board after being wowed by the Zoom 75 but seeing that $269 price (Sky Blue which is available still+the LCD, as well as shipping). The price of this keyboard on the other hand made “sense”. This will be my first keyboard I build as opposed to modding prebuilts, so I’m looking forwards to the experience!

@@ColdCrazee i appreciate the kind gesture! I actually built my first board last month, i didn't too much modding besides the pillow foam idea and it worked out perfectly! I think the next thing ill do is the syringe lube technique to make my stabs a little nicer Been loving it ever since though!

I know this video was about the Sense 75 and how great of a value it is, but during the sound test all I could think about was how much I wanted a Zoom 75 and how it still sold out everywhere.

[@HifiSammy]

I just got a set of the Morandi switches you recommend and replaced them in my Bakeneko 65. I replaced a set of Drop Panda x's that I hand lubed and have in several other boards as well. I can tell you the Morandi's imho kick the crap out the Drop Pandas at less than half the price. Both in sound and feel, they are just plain better. Thank you very much for the recommendation. As a user of both linear and tactile, I am shocked at how good these sound and feel for the price. A note that you talked in a recent video of the difference between the Drop DCX White on Black and the Black on White. I have both and the Black on White (the black being the legends) are just a much more solid and heavy switch. The blacks feel massively cheaper in comparison. Cheers and keep up the good work!

a bell

[@HipyoTech]

@@user-ko5kk9ud8k ready for this guy to look like a fool

[@user-ko5kk9ud8k]

it's a bell when stock simply because of how thin it's construction is (The Sense75 is 500g lighter than the cheaper Monsgeek M1 of the same layout). if you unbell it, all merit goes to your modding skills

[@tasospapavasileiou7322]

@@user-ko5kk9ud8k hmm, a bell doesn't describe it's sound, I would call it more of a q1 stock, but even then, a few simple mods can simply erase any left ping it has, also it's thin constraction is not the problem, the sound appears to come from hollowness and or the top case coming in contact with the bottom case. Also a simple killmat could easily make this bord sound 100x better.

[@danielna7157]

I have no issue with the Holy Panda X's if you enjoy the more rounded and subtle tactile feel of Panda style tactiles. I am in fact typing on them right now. My main gripe with them is that of a batch of 72 that I bought for my AKKO Alice Pros, about a third of them have spring pinging even after lubing the strings. The ones I had to use with pinging have been banished to the arrow and right side utility keys that I never use just because of how I type. It isn't the worst with the keycaps on them, but just a note.

[@tukuiPat]

I tried to use the Holy Panda X's, but just was not comfortable of a feeling for me typing with them.

the akko 5075b plus looks just like this and is about the same price with a lots of stuff inside and readily available

[@Dattinator2501]

I bought the 5075S barebones kit and I’m very happy with it. In total, I spent $96 on the base and Akko cream yellows and $30 ish on the keycaps. I haven’t modded it because I’m afraid to pry open the top and break off a LED for the side glow as I have already seen several videos where they pop off just from disassembly. Overall I would even think the $99 for an aluminum board and easier disassembly makes it a better competitor
