Can you also review Epomaker’s ABM098? It’s a similar full size keyboard that’s pretty silent as well

[@pyroyuy]

I'm looking at the AMB066 cause I'm a sucker. Looks a good deal at $48 right now on their site but any code on Epomaker's site to save any more?

[@DivaLenne]

Too little typing too much talk. This keyboard seems to be quiet because you do not show how quiet it could be.

[@outatime427]

@@pilargonzalezalvado4922 you ruined it 😡

[@ethansiew61]

One thing to note is that the Sea Salt linears use leaf springs integrated into the stem for sound dampening (like on Wuque/Haimuu switches) instead of silicone pads. This results in the bottom out feeling less mushy, but the top-out sound is less dampened when compared to the more conventional silicone pads.

[@jitters4029]

Been using this for the past 4 months and I love it. I had always wanted an affordable silent full-size (for work), and eventually my younger brother put me on to this. I've gotten compliments both from fellow custom keyboard friends and the older folk from work for the retro-y look. Love the sound, typing feel and having the ability to upload any gif I want to the mini screen.

[@Jusssssssssssssssss]

I also want this but scalpers in my country 😢 fry the price so high, close to 200$

[@Miss_Wonderful1]

I bought this one two months ago because I needed a keyboard with a numpad and I love it. Personally, the color you show here is my favorite because it reminds me the big keyboards I used at work ages ago. It's south facing, which is great for the price and the little TV screen is lovely. The cons are that it's not for keyboard enthusiasts, the charge doesn't last long, and it takes a while to get accustomed to the keycaps profile, if one wants to keep them. All in all, though, I would definitely recommend it. Nola content? The more, the better

[@JarmovanderVeen]

is it silent i wanna know

[@Miss_Wonderful1]

@@JarmovanderVeen It depends on the switches you choose. Mine is not because I chose Gat yellows but the option featured in this video is silent.

I was looking into a mechanical keyboard for the first time, I watched a lot of your stuff and ended up with this keyboard. I love this keyboard so much! I got the RT100 with the Sea Salt Silent switches. I love the feel and sound of it, it's so satisfying. I love it so much I find any excuse I can to just type and type. From a keyboard newbie, Thank you!

[@ToyKeeper]

I really dig the Durock T1 Silent "shrimp" switches. T1 has the best tactile feel I've ever tried, plus it's very quiet and a little bit cushioned.

[@phero6933]

Wuque Studios silent tactiles are really solid too.

[@kyosukeshidou1370]

I found a switch that isn't really QUIET and NOT LOUD Either , also it has a delicious tactile bump its Gazzew U4Tx , its said to be Hybrid Switch , Half-Thock

[@ToyKeeper]

@@kyosukeshidou1370I have some Gazzew Boba U4 switches too, but they were a little too firm and got tiring to use. Maybe because I got the 68g version instead of 62g? Not sure.

[@viowithcrailtap]

Mr Hipyo, you have now created a problem for me. I didn't know I wanted a near silent keyboard but now that's all I can think about when I'm using my current "gaming" board.... Damn you and your highly informative content! Also Nola is very cute

[@bhgemini]

I used those same switches in my Feker Alice 3 and have been very happy with it at work.

[@conracko]

Tried this one twice but had faulty TVs both times so returned them and gave up given I couldn’t mod it. I did enjoy the Sea Salts for what they were, opened my eyes to silent switches. Get Keydous to send you an NJ98!

[@concernedcitizen6313]

I got the RT100 long before there were any other color options, but frankly, I like the tan a brown look, so that's not a problem for me. Honestly, I think it's great, although I did wind up changing the keycaps to a cherry profile. The Sea Salt Silents are also pretty amazing, although I'm disappointed that they don't have the slightly longer stem that the Flamingos and the Budgerigars have that prevent cherry interference. As such, I have experienced cherry interference with the Sea Salt Silents. One problem I've had with the little TV screen is that it won't always come back on after waking up the keyboard while in wireless mode. I'd have to either turn it off and back on again or switch from Windows mode to Mac, then back again. Super annoying. But if the keyboard's plugged in, the TV screen is cute. And yes, it's totally a gimmick and I almost never use it. I still love the RT100, and it's my go-to regular-shaped keyboard, but I recently acquired the Feker Alice 98, and I just can't countenance going back to the traditional key layout. The reduced strain on my wrists and hands is just too irresistible while using the Feker.

[@72EEL]

Hi, can I ask what cherry interference is? From what I just searched up it’s got to do with cherry switches and north facing LED but this keyboard has South facing?

[@concernedcitizen6313]

@@72EEL Sorry I only saw this comment just now. Yes, you're right that the RT100 is SF and that Cherry inference is an NF thing. I should've been more specific in that I was talking about the switches in general, as I do have an NF keyboard. Just to be clear, though (and I wish Hipyo were clearer about this as well): the problem is the switch molds and/or stem lengths, not the orientation of the LEDs. There are plenty of switches that don't have a problem with Cherry interference in NF LED orientation such as the Flamingos and the Budgerigars that I mentioned. Morandis Don't seem to have a problem with Cherry interference either, although I have my problems with them, but that's a story for another day.

[@MrFoshar]

yesterday I received this keyboard and it is amazing but i did not buy the seasalt silent switches. it's a great choise if you need a good full-sized keyboard without heavy modding it achieve an acceptable/good experience.

[@HipyoTech]

I also tried the one without silent switches and its pretty good!

[@old_soul99]

I so want a quiet keyboard like this! I would definitely pick the green one

[@lifeisgoodga]

I just got the green one a month ago and looove it. Sea salt silent switches are great though it turns out I'm not a huge fan of linears 0_o

[@Magichappenedalready]

Thanks for your great videos! Any recommendations for a quiet keyboard with really clear always-on backlit keys (so I can type in darkness)?

[@andrewalonsi]

I just stumbled upon your channel after watching Desk Setup Improvement videos including these upgraded customizable keyboards!

[@hobbykaira]

Recently bought the green version of this keyboard and love it so much

[@jbfletche]

I use this keyboard every day, and it's by far my favourite. I have it with Epomaker's budgerigar switches, and they are also my favourite -- tactile switches with a really heavy thock. The little screen is the best part. I upload gif files for each season or just to match my mood. As a matter of fact, I really like most of Epomaker's switches.

[@drr0ck844]

I really actually like the RT100 keycaps - any idea if they are sold separately as a keycap set?

[@gryphey]

This thought randomly came to my head recently. I’m a cuber and modern speed cubes replaced springs with maglev tech. I was wondering would this even be possible for a keyboard switch and how it would it even feel

[@Woot-Zee]

LMAO, the giraffioteh got me! Thanks for sharing and making me laugh. I never knew they were saying that about you and I do not think you have that long neck, but it is still funny. :D

[@ryantarlond9987]

I have only recently been getting more into keyboards, but hearing the word budget used for 115USD keyboard is so alien to me, especially since the most expensive keyboard I've owned is 70 bucks, I already it wasnt anything high-end but I at least assumed it was middle of the road.

[@margaschneijderberg4538]

True

[@rolfathan]

It's such a bummer that they goofed so hard on that spacebar. Your mod helps a ton, but it still isn't as quiet as the other keys, and that is just so odd. Great that there is a premade that is so quiet, but I hope there are better silent options out there.

[@702DialedFilms]

Hearing hipio tallk about a keyboard I bought 6 months ago is dope

[@NewsShark]

Is everything still the same size just without a number pad? I want to buy one but I want to make sure the key size and spacing is the same as a standard keyboard. Sorry, I hope this makes sense. Thank you.

[@jakehodges1280]

I just purchased this keyboard and absolutely love it! However I am struggling to find a wrist rest that is the same length as it. Any suggestions?

I got this keyboard months ago with the Gateron Pro Yellows that it can come with as an option and I've loved it since, the only real problem imo is the software to mess with the screen is actually just terrible

[@WRPG]

first off I switched from blue switches to reds but swapping over on my rk61 hot swap to outemu silver switches and weirdly that keyboard in brown is giving me alien nistromo vibes with the way they made certain key caps like the spacebar

[@nadavshabat1823]

can u make a video about the phantom tecware 87+ I've seen many youtubers make a video about it and I wanna see ur opinion

[@aff3boy983]

Hi Hypio, I want too build my first custom keyboard, but there’s almost zero keyboards that has a iso layout because I’m from Sweden. I want too buy a barebones or fully build that is 65 percent. Idk if I should get a epomaker ek68 as my first custom keyboard because it has a iso layout, would you say that epomaker ek68 is great for its price and it’s good a custom keyboard. I want too get wuque studios morandi switches. Could you recommend some keyboards that is hotswap and 65% that is around a 100$ and has a iso layout that works great with wuque morandi switches, could you also recommend some good websites to buy keyboards and switches and some Nordic layout keycaps.

[@phylum8975]

I'm in need of a "silent" keyboard, as quiet as possible. How does this compare to an unmodified Varmilo with Kailh Prestige Silent Switches? Possible to for you to do a video on the top 3 or 5 library silent keyboards?

[@DominicHopkins]

Yes, the seasalt silent switches are a good level of silent for me! Very nice. I do wonder about silent choc switches for the workplace. I see a lot of office keyboards that are low profile

[@TheWealthypeasant]

There are mods for choc switches to make them more quiet, tape mod for the switch case rattle and something between the stem and the keycap makes them much better.
