I personally run a Keychron K8 and IMO, it's not bad. If you need a hot-swap board with bluetooth because your work gave you a laptop and you hate its built in keyboard, then the K series is probably a good start. They also have released the K8 Pro which has south facing LEDs, is customizable with VIA, and has foam included, while still being hot-swap and bluetooth capable. Saving up for that one. Keychron is generally a good recommendation for budget boards. They have almost every form factor and layout available. There are better choices, of course, but they're a good start.

[@PeterSteele111]

It annoys me that they put some much stock on sound. It's a keyboard first and foremost. You would think all these keyboard KZbinrs would cover qmk/via/vial support, gasket mounts and how cushiony they are, etc. They do to some degree but it always feels like a passing remark before getting to sound. He'll even a lot of the mods done are to change sound. Granted some affect things like stability of the larger keys and smoothness of travel when depressing keys, but a lot are sound focused first and the other benefits are just nice to have. That's been my experience watching g these various KZbinrs for a couple of years anyways. I'm a software dev and appreciate a good hot swap that I can program myself for whatever I want. Sound is the least of my worries as I listen to music while working anyways. So having g a really nice typing experience is paramount for me over authentic and sound.

I love your videos and the work that you do. I owe you an apology, Hipyo. When I first started getting into custom keyboards, a little over 2 years ago, I made a comment about a 150 dollar keyboard "not really being budget friendly". I was coming from keyboards in the 25 to 50 dollar range at the time and had the opinion that 100 dollars was an expensive keyboard. Now that I've had time to assess the HUGE difference in quality and experience, BOY WAS I WRONG. I'm an IT tech, and while I have nice peripherals at home and in my own workspace, I get reminded on a daily basis when using client's stuff how much better even the 150 dollar "budget" options are that I started out with a couple of years ago. Today, I personnally don't have an issue with paying 200 to 300 dollars for a keyboard. Not only are the quality and experience worth it, but if something does happen to go wrong with the keyboard, I'm not just throwing it away and buying another complete keyboard. The same goes for not liking some aspect of the keyboard. With switches, keycaps, plates, cases, and most other parts being individually replaceable, they can be swapped out at any time. In the long run, the original investment of 150 dollars or more can actually even end up saving money. So, with all that being said, I am sorry for my original noob comment that I made. Today, I completely get it, now that I'm educated, and will never go back to what I call the "trash" category of keyboards.

Hey Hipyo, awesome video! My Zoom 65 v2 is finally coming in next week after ordering during the group buy in late January. The biggest thing I've learned getting into this hobby is you need to be extremely patient. (Or having unlimited money also helps. XD) If you do have the patience then group buys seem to be the best value proposition. The TKD Cycle7 group buy coming up looks like it will be a great value if you are just jumping on the bandwagon and missed the Zoom 65 & 75. Also, it's exciting to see that it is fully CNC aluminum compared to other "entry level" custom keyboards that use cast aluminum parts to reduce manufacturing costs.

I bought a GMMK pro about a year and half ago, at that time it was like the ONLY remotely custom option you could get in France without paying stupidly high import fees. I bought an open box through Amazon warehouse (which was just opened and never used, prolly because the dude wanted an ISO layout and it was ANSI), so saved a bit of money there, bought some switches that I lubed, some durock V2 stabs, some nice keycaps and it ended up being around 250€ while sounding incredible. I tried the polycarb plate but it was meh, not holding the switches properly so I went back to the stock alu plate. Removed the internal foam to give room for the gaskets, did a tape mod and now the keeb sounds pretty incredible. Honestly I understand how overpriced it might look, but if you know what you're doing it can still be a great board at a decent price if other options are not available. Glorious is a bigger company than most other keeb companies, even keychron so their products are more available in general.

[@ritvikgaddam4282]

gmmk pro was a good competitor 2 years ago, but it's just a waste of money if you were to buy it now. The budget options outlass the gmmk pro, speaking from personal experience after buying the gmk67 with KTT kang whites, it sounded a lot better than my gmmk with tangerienes, and it surprized me so much. And the gmk67 build was 80$ total while the gmmk pro came to aorund 250$. So yeah I honestly dont think the gmmk pro is worth it anymore.

hipyo tech thanks for getting me into keyboards and making me broke, my wallets are begging for a break please take a break from these videos before my wallet crys again

[@fn_sebas5458]

wallet: waaaa waaaaaa

[@robins7357]

As someone in the EU I can at least give you my reason for a GMMK Pro: It's available over here without paying 30-50 bucks in shipping and there is an ISO option. I personally also like ANSI keyboards because you tend to have more keycap sets to choose from with ANSI, but I get why people (at least over here) like the GMMK Pro, even if the price to performance ratio is not the best :)

Hey there, thanks for joining the discussion! I actually recently came across the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule, and I must say, it's a game-changer for keeping your desktop spotless. The powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities make a significant difference. Plus, it's compact and versatile, perfect for cleaning your car's interior as well. Definitely worth considering for anyone looking to optimize their cleaning routine!

[@LeP009]

The Monsgeek M1 is as good or better in every way for less than 150€. There really isn't any reason to buy the gmmk pro.

[@nessknows.]

I just want a list of the most buttery sounding keyboards right out of the box.

[@LUNCHWARS]

Dude! At 4:04 the wood keyboard had standard galactic alphabet on it. I NEED

[@JosieBobaGames]

I got the dust silver for Christmas in a different color but still the model I absolutely love it and I love your videos

[@serrajav]

I'm curious, what's your wpm count? You seem to type fast in your vids. Also, do you think these keyboards improve typing speed?

[@antftwx]

I'd recommend the Akko 5075S VIA. It's gasket mounted, south facing, per key rgb and side led, VIA compatible all for... 59.99. Yes, 59.99.

[@bangurowned]

I think you’re on to something!

[@cybercoyotes]

That E-YOOSO keyboard at the end is awesome. I'm ganna go to that video and follow along, Thanks!

[@raizerleaf]

Me sitting here watching with my Keychron Q1 I bought 2 years ago happy to know I still got a decent board for someone whos a keyboard noob, after years of "gaming" keyboards.

[@grozaphy]

GMK67? Tester68? GAS67?

[@MercyCEO]

Sense75 Gang was here. It's a dream keyboard after modding, and the mods are super cheap!

[@_JayForbes]

4:17 love that Ironman symbol, scaper here⚔ love your channel btw, couldn't have cleaned my keyboard without your video!

[@sh0nlyfans]

The white one looks so sick and futuristic

[@empathy_ggs]

I just got my Zoom TKL today.... 7 months after purchasing, when they said it'd be shipped in 4 months. Now, this isn't uncommon in the keyboard enthusiast space buuuut I do think it is a joke regardless, that a company can promise one thing, and deliver another w/o criticism. All things considered, the board is FANTASTIC, I love it even with the only couple of hours since receiving it. Meletrix is no joke, and I am really going to love this board.

[@athapar91]

We need the full switch video. Also mode envoy review when?

[@informedchoice2249]

Finally bit the bullet and ordered the Q6. I like it so far. What's a good wrist rest?

[@JTMP12]

Maybe you can do a video on good custom keyboards ($100-$250) we can actually buy now without a group buy. One that I can go online, buy, and receive within a reasonable timeframe (less than a week).

[@TheMeRiley]

i looked up "best mechanical keyboards under 60 dollars", and this was the first video to pop up 💀

[@dustsilver_keyboard]

🙌nice video! Thanks for sharing!

[@breadfan9159]

just did a build im here for buyers remorse. I personally got a 5075s with tactiles and switched them out for gateron pro yellows that I lubed. I also did a tape mod. I spent around 150 i think? Minus lube and tools. I'm pretty happy with it, but you NEED to lube the stabs.

[@omnikron2969]

Another good budget keyboard that’s good quality and has decent value is the Akko 3068B Plus

[@xyrezarckerman2024]

grass is always greener syndrome - and driven by the motive of "it sounds amazing" and the word "thock" but it all works the same.

[@Kovu1224]

I recently purchased a Royal Kludge RK96 90%, I added rubber O rings and different keycaps all for less than $ 130 USD.

[@kellymcminn2689]

i bought the Womier WK61 and i love it! so thank you , cause your the reason i got it.

[@polishguywithhardtospellna8227]

thanks, are cheap optical switches worth going for in comparison to cheap mechanical switches? I'm talking under $45 for a keyboard

[@Dominus4776]

I really like royal kludge for a budget. $60-70, hotswap, usb-c, Bluetooth and 2.4g wireless on most models

[@johanb.7869]

I've noticed a lot have RGB, but no shine through key caps, which are pointless in the dark. Or you must set the backlit very bright, which is very distracting.

[@fatalitystrykes]

Fine. I've watched enough of your videos.. I'll subscribe now. Though I do see that connectivity is not part of the selection criteria. Was considering the gmk 67. Is that a good choice?

[@blopolot3885]

In your reviews can you include comfort because I know that some are very high and not too comfortable edit: can you also review the rk-h81 I think it could be a good budget board

[@rhymingbecktionary]

tfw you got a gmmk pro at launch because there were no other affordable and available exploded 75% layout options at the time but now you want a QK75 or Zoom 75 but you keep you missing the group buys

[@mihagolod2393]

What’s a better end result: Buying the rog azoth and modding it or buying a keychron q2 barebone and modding it?

[@blockchainoverdrive6090]

Which switches sound like raindrops? Or does it need a specific keycap too?

[@TrollHunterxXx]

I love my Logitech mx keys … one day I will get a keychron because of the info in this channel 😊

[@madeleineevangelista4804]

Any reviews on the Royal Kludge brand of mechanical keyboards?

[@IllusionIRL]

The monsgeek m1 and m3 are dope for the price range but from MONSGEEK not from akko where they sell it higher. Take look at youtube guys, there is a lot of build of this keyboard, most of them is pe foam + polyfill but you can thock it aswell.

[@McGutschy2]

First time here, looks very good!😃

[@torbenwinkler763]

I am too lazy to subscribe sorry hypio. Also I love your vids man. Because of you I got interested in custom keyboards and just ordered the zoom75 to go in my first adventure in this realm. Really excited for the journey but still no clue what kind of switches and keycaps I should get.

[@end_slayer]

This made it harder. I’m good with putting work into my keyboard but I also want a keyboard I know will be good.

[@kodakk3014]

very nice and informative video. keep it up

[@Kainoa_Kz]

Thank you for the advices

[@MimicksRiot]

12:07 I can recommend, got it 23$ used, whats gross is that with the gaps inbetween keys more hair and debri get inside, looking to get a dustsilver keyboard though!

[@branny2460]

Is there any stocked Thock keyboards, like the blue one with Zoom 75 dec, the sound is so BEAUTIFUL I WANT THAT
