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
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.
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 :)
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
I just ordered a Womier S-K71 / XINMENG M71 prebuilt aluminum keyboard under a hundred dollar shipped. wanted to share this for people who are budget conscious like I am.
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.
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
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
I think Hipyo should do a video where it goes normal normal normal then just like goes around all his plants (like put keyboard in question in front of every plant he has with absolutely no context)
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.
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.
Dear Hipyo, 3 months for a Meletrix board is a pipe dream. Please amend to the more accurate 6 months... Nice USB cable Nola! Thank you for going outside Hipyo!
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
there's no need to warn about fire risk in keyboards. Worst case, the battery is properly insulated and there are short circuit protection ICs between the battery and board. As for the rest of the keyboard, it's 5 volts and hence even shorting everything would still not be a fire hazard, and will only likely brick the board
i was thinking it was really a budget option, but yeah 199 is still not budget enough for me lol. My cutoff is around 150, but its also kinda stupid because I had 8 keyboards already all averaging 70-100$
I don't have money to buy and test the keyboards, so i will watch videos like this one to know what i want to have when i buy my own, eventually, maybe next year.
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?
ngl... this keeb sounds like my akko m0d 007. but idk, thats just my thoughts. Good that this is out considering that said akko board is somewhat sold out last time i checked

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
thank you for going outside hipyo
He needed that
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
knobs are for fondling
Me but with any board that has dedicated media keys (I've never been a fan of media keys on function layers)
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.
@@RoboCobeh how do you usually turn down the volume while you're gaming?
@@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.
I legit love the outdoor shots 😂 it was worth the extra effort in my opinion!
Thank you I also got a thorn in my foot
@@HipyoTech oof, your feet really took L’s this video lmao
Excited for the Salsa Mod, can't wait to see if finer chunks or thicker salsa offer better dampening

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

Nice USB-C cable Nola. Good job on eating the cable.
Thank you for going outside hipyo, if you watched this whole video. Because, I went outside.
Nice USB-C Cable Nola. Good Job, eating the cable.

I like how 200 is cheap 💀 💀
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.
This made my wooting sound quiet decent. Thanks!
The outside shot with the vines was nice. Thanks for going outside Hipyo! 😁
We demand the Salsa Keyboard.
I just ordered a Womier S-K71 / XINMENG M71 prebuilt aluminum keyboard under a hundred dollar shipped. wanted to share this for people who are budget conscious like I am.

Recently bought some black lotus switches and they are FANTASTIC
I cannot recommend them enough for a video Mr. Hipyo
Thanks for going outside. You helped me understand how fun it is inside
CONGRATS ON 700K!
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!
I recently got into this hobby. Ur video is hella entertaining for me
Love the before and after comparison.
Injured foot reveal
I enjoyed the after. Outside scary. Never go again.
The acoustics of the board sound really good!
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!
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.
I appreciate you going outside ☺️ And THANK YOU, it was SO frustrating not to have access to one if your top rated picks!! 😂

Good job on eating the cable Nola
5:16 Here's a WS Moranbi
Thank you for going outside, Hippyo. Good digging technique.
And thank you for going outside, Hypyo
Thank you for going outside hipyo if you watched the whole video :P
I think Hipyo should do a video where it goes normal normal normal then just like goes around all his plants (like put keyboard in question in front of every plant he has with absolutely no context)
Thank you for going outside hipyo u finally touched something that wasn't a keyboard
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.
I like how even tho Hipyo tried to scream he was really quiet anyway....XD :]
God I love the blue of those GMK caps.
Why am I slowly becoming addicted to keyboards?
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.

Any chance you could resell the boards if they aren't terribly worn?
I don't have money to buy and test the keyboards, so i will watch videos like this one to know what i want to have when i buy my own, eventually, maybe next year.
Love some hipytoe gardening.
Thank you for going outside hipyo!

6:14 I guess the clear keyacps had to sound really horrible if you didn't put the sound example at all 😂
Morandeez nuts

What is the latency like on this keyboard?
ngl... this keeb sounds like my akko m0d 007. but idk, thats just my thoughts. Good that this is out considering that said akko board is somewhat sold out last time i checked
Thank you for going outside, how did the grass feel?
Damn I was subbed before 10k this shit crazy
Did you do anything to the stabs while modding this thing? If so, how were they completely stock?
