The PERFECT Budget Keyboard in 2024 (EPOMAKER x LEOBOG Hi75)

[@samwilliams0901]

You see videos of people pulling apart keyboards and adding all kinds of mods to get the same sound as this comes with out the box. Crazy level of performance and deserves all the hype it's getting.

[@AngelPGC]

i know rightt, this is so good

[@SayneTV]

I am absoletly with you! I also like the 5 minutes. It so time wasting having these keyboards ripped apart and pushing the videos to 15 minutes what you could basically show in 5... Thanks so much for the vid - super interesting :)

[@AngelPGC]

@SayneTV no problem, yeah I like to keep my videos short and simple. thank you so much for your support!

[@voongnz]

Anyone know the comparisons of this and the Hi8??

[@nikik9569]

Seriously! Here I am typing with my Yunzii YZ84 moded with tape, foam, Gateron Milky Yellow switches and it still sounds hello loud and clacky! I 100% wish I got this keyboard instead since it's basically the same price 💀 This kills me so I'm still desperately trying to see if I can mode it some more to get it creamy.

[@pratiknaikedu]

I just got this keyboard and it sounds incredible. Holy shit, it's remarkable. I love it.

[@AngelPGC]

i know rightt, i love it too

[@2402Khuyen]

HI8 even better

[@jbfletche]

I just unboxed mine and am blown away. The sound profile is absolutely perfect. It's the coziest keyboard I've ever owned.

[@AngelPGC]

50 is suchh a deal

[@sebastien2994]

After going around 2 weeks viewing videos of keybords. Il was yours who decided me to order this one. That will be my first mecanical keyboard, yéééé !!! the sound is so hypnotic, i couldn't resist for long. i might upgrade it with ceramic keycaps in the futur, if i really fall into the thock experience. And maybe go for premium case keyboard. But thanks to your nice video, my first step as been done. Tomorrow, I will receive it with ice cyan clicky switches, who surelly will break my hears and heart. But 2 days from that moment, i will get the nimbus V3 switches and i will get some love from life. i have search for others switches, but it's pretty hard to find videos of different switches with this keybord and mda kaps. I hope you will get more visibility, cause your video was well made will good visuals and nicer quality sounds that the others videos i have seen ...

[@AngelPGC]

wow, thank you so much for the kind words! i feel honored that my video helped you decide your first keyboard, hope you enjoy it. you will like it!!

[@InnerFire6213]

i just bought one because of you and hipyo. typing on it now, it is super, super awesome. I used to be a gamer brand guy, no more. Just ditched my chery mx corsair for Leobog, even a few months ago i would never have thought i'd switch to a relatively unknown chinese brand. it was such an eye opener. I opted for the jungle blue v2 switch, although funnily enough here it's called building block v2, because i'm used to tactile and tired of my old noisy chery blue. still can't believe how cheap this thing is, it's quite heavy and premium, a few years ago this would've cost more than gaming keyboards

[@AngelPGC]

nicee i’m glad you like it !

[@LeoOnTop556]

Thanks for making this review I got the blueberry party one sounds great thanks!

[@AngelPGC]

nice no problem!!

[@rougeneon1997]

I just ordered this but with the "Ice Cyan" switches as I prefer tactile" Hoping it still has that cozy THONK. If not EPOMAKER's switches do not cost much at all really.

[@sebastien2994]

i HAD to order mine with ice cyan switches... and i see the video of the noise they make... clicky light noise... i wonder the sound they make if you remove the click from them, still i have to order 2 sets of the nimus V3, cause i looove the stone noise .

[@HiPickle]

1:30 if thats not a tongue twister idk what is lol great vid

[@AngelPGC]

i know right, it was my first time learning about the plate material too, thank you!

[@aleksitanninen]

I like it! I actually do think you did find a great sub-$100 75% aluminum keyboard. I actually do like the color ways too, and I would love to have an aluminum keyboard for my next one, but it’s still too soon for me. Maybe they’ll come up with a V2 by then with a GMK/VIA programmable software. Thanks for the review Angel!

[@AngelPGC]

yeahh get ittt

[@thenewbb]

I’m deciding between this, the Aula f75 and the royal kludge m75 (75% is my fav)

[@matt69m]

​@@thenewbb what did You choose

[@Felpado]

in the sec 4:56 do u know how make this "tap" configuration works? Edit: nevermind, i needed to activate the "tap" option in Global configuration first (in the first left icon main menu)

[@Empyreanis]

That's the sound without mods?! Crazy how good and affordable mechanical keyboards are nowadays.

[@AngelPGC]

yeahh it’s without mods!!

[@xblazr]

how do you save the settings. It wont keep them with the software save button. I unplug it and it forgets

[@Kazikar]

i love this keyboard but no black option! i see they have a k81 but i dont know if that sounds similar to this one

[@AngelPGC]

I saw the K81, but unfortunately theres no option for the nimbus switches. There is a barebones kit available for the Hi75 in black color, if you want to make the keyboard yourself. epomaker.com/products/epomaker-leobog-hi75?variant=47369057009972

[@AbePrower]

I will definitely get this in White Green, but is there a way to turn off RGB when plugging in? If so, how?

[@AngelPGC]

nicee! you can turn off the rgb by turning down the brightness with FN + Down arrow key. There's also a preset RGB mode where it's off too. I show it at 4:10

[@Loppy2u]

Could do wrist curls strength training with this board. Great upgrade over my Corsair K63 wired keyboard.

[@bobasquid3339]

The sound is crazy! Love it! I'm wondering if any of the switches have a more firm actuation force? I've heard that the low fast press can lead to mistyping? I'm used to tactile firm browns. Or if linear , slightly firm like Kaihl linear reds. Great video as usual👍⌨️

[@AngelPGC]

Thanks for watching!! I would get the Ice cyan switches. Looking at the specs they are a little heavier compared to the other switches available plus it's tactile. Click the Amazon link in the description for more info. If you scroll all the way down, it will tell you the specs of all switches. Ice Cyan switch specs below: Type: Tactile Material: POM stem, PC housings Pin: 5 Pins Pre-travel: 1.7mm Total Travel: 3.6mm Initial Force: 49gf Min Actuation Force: 30±3 gf Bottom Force: 45gf Lifespan: 60 millions of stokes

Thank you for this very helpful video. I am agonising over choosing between this board, the Aula F75 and the RKm75. What would you suggest? I don’t care about RGB or bluetooth. Just like consistent typing feel and pleasant marbly or thocky sounds.

[@AngelPGC]

No problem! I havent tried the aula f75, and rkm75 yet, but I am loving the sound of the hi75. It's really high quality too, i'm using it right now!

[@ogrepleyz]

can the dial knob be reprogrammed?

[@stacien3436]

I’m planning on getting this exact keyboard soon but I really want to change the keycaps and I’m not sure where to start looking! I’ve never switched out keycaps before. Are there any specifics I need to look for? Can any keycaps I like go on?

[@AngelPGC]

I would check out keycaps on Amazon, Epomaker, or Akko. They have some pretty budget options. If you want it to sound similar for this keyboard, I would get keycaps that are made out of thick PBT material and in either MDA or cherry profile.

[@arielban1]

I purchased this keyboard and love it. Where and what key terms must I be aware of to buy custom keycaps for this keyboard? I would like buy hand made keycaps but I do not know if what I buy will work for this keyboard. Thank you in advanced.

[@anan7s294]

for gaming which one is better - HI75 or Royal Kluge RK84? considering respnse time, input lag, wireless connectivity, etc n which switches?

[@AngelPGC]

I really like the quality of the aluminum case and switches of the hi75 compared to the rk84. however the RK84 is wireless but the Hi75 is not, if you care about that!

at 2:05, what is the address of that site you are using to compare switches?

@@AngelPGC I also saw that the barebones kit was available but sadly the price is way too high for the switches and the keycaps. If it wasn't for that I would have purchased it. But after a few hours of research I found out about the Aula F99 with the same Nimbus switches and decided to get that one in white and black. A shame.

[@Astro-q6k]

Is the keyboard compatible with the Wonderland Buns keycaps set?

[@AngelPGC]

Yes! that one is so cute

[@Mr.OverclockGamingJr-qt3tx]

Would it mess up the sound if I change the key caps ?

[@AngelPGC]

yes the keycaps can definitely affect the sound of a keyboard, but not too much. It depends on which material and style you get. If you want it to sound similar for this keyboard, I would get keycaps that are made out of PBT Keycaps in MDA Profile

[@MatthisEnzmann]

I´m from Germany which makes purchasing Keyboards a lot more difficult. I have to pay attention if the keyboard´s Software can change it to the ANSI DE Layout. Overall this is the perfect Keyboard but if I can´t use it because of that it would just be a waste of money.

[@sprayer97]

Ich glaube du hast da was nicht ganz richtig verstanden. Solange du auswendig weißt wo die Tasten theoretisch sitzen gibt es so gut wie gar keinen Unterschied, kannst auch passende keycaps besorgen.

[@yonisapir6270]

Great review. Can the software do per-key RGB lighting? Like for example, making the arrow keys red and the rest of the keys blue?

[@AngelPGC]

thank you, yes! if you see there's a "Self-Define" option in the software at 5:03 where you can customize the rgb per key

[@yonisapir6270]

@@AngelPGC Thanks!

[@lolprime]

Hello, I am new to the keyboard hobby. If I were to purchase this keyboard, can I buy any set of keycaps that I like and replace them? Will it sound any different? I know that there are different style of keycaps as well - some are more flat than others etc. Will the style effect the sound?

[@AngelPGC]

hi welcome to the hobby !! yes the keycaps can definitely affect the sound of a keyboard. It depends on which material and style you get. If you want it to sound similar for this keyboard, I would get keycaps that are made out of thick PBT material and in either MDA or cherry profile.

[@Snuffflux]

how would you say this compares to the epomaker x feker galaxy80? I just watched your video on that board and these seem very similar in both features and price, only major differences I see are the slightly different layout and the knob on the leobog.

[@AngelPGC]

The main difference is that the Feker has Bluetooth, and wireless connection while the Hi75 doesn’t. They are also different in size, Feker is a TKL, and Leobog is a 75% keyboard. They are both aluminum and sound amazing! I would choose based on these factors, and which color you like better.

[@bardic_grin]

Could you swap the nimbus switches for cherries, or would the shape of it not fit? Would nimbus need specific keycaps to fit the switches, or would anything work? Sorry, I'm new to mechanical keyboards, so I'm not super familiar with what would and wouldn't work based on shape.

[@AngelPGC]

no worries! yes you can swap the nimbus switches for cherry mx switches! Any switches that are 3 or 5 pin can work. The nimbus does not need specific keycaps to fit the switches.

[@mariajamieioannou4375]

Is there a way to customise the RGB to make it one colour?
