Can you make the most snappy keyboard
Nice song! :D
Hypyo’s voice is so chill
One of the best songs
yu get wireless dell keyboard and mouse combo in under 20 $ in india
There's no way you were going to beat Tao Bao with Amazon for sheer purchasing power, but this is a very solid runner up! Love your work!
Well, what do you expect from a gaytuber: always makes wrong decisions.
+ $200 for shipping ... did he cheat? 😂
@@fujimotosan9123 nah if u live in the few asian countries + australia that can buy stuff and ship stuff from taobao directly shipping is pretty cheap

I didn't even know there was a mechanical hotswappable with a bit of rgb and per key lighting keyboard that looks fine for only 20$, That's amazing!
It's Not!
k552
It's good for its price
@@Syntheus no
@@S3SH7 NEZUKOOOOO CHAAAAAAAAAN
14:03 glarses being so pissed that he pronounced his name "gl-are-ses"
watch his video then youll know why he was mad
Wait thats not how you pronounce it
@@lilacetone1
He used to use "Glasses" as an online handle, but had to respell it since "Glasses" was already taken on Reddit. Being that he's English, he pronounces "glasses" and "glarses" the same way (with no distinct R sound). He's said before that he doesn't mind the way rhotic speakers say it, so you can pronounce it whichever way you like. I occasionally write it like "Glahsses" just for fun
I think that's just how he looks
@@ezana7401 because his keyboard build went horribly wrong but as i said watch his video
When I was a kid a $20 keyboard meant the crappiest membrane switches imaginable, so I'm really impressed by it just as it came out of the box. Seems way better than what I was gaming on when 11 years old.
yours was my favorite in sound. pretty impressive build for the price!
i had a similar issue with my tecware keyboard! the sockets were designed more for thinner pins like outemu switches but i found a hack by clipping the outer pin to a sharp pointy end using a nail clipper which helped a lot because previously it won’t even fit and even broke 2 switches (gateron yellow)
I actually find it nice that it has a full case rather than a "floating switch design".
The casing doesn't seem half bad either as a foundation. Epoxying a few thin sheets of steel should make it MUCH nicer than stock, like stiffer and heavier. Feel of quality is more important than actual quality, right? But i guess sil-pour works too.
The casing is crap, it's just plastic. I think the Redragon K552 I have sometimes goes for as little as $30 and that has a fairly thick metal plate, it also has the exact same PCB and keycaps as this board.
@@jm036 Is it the one with absolutely HIDEOUS fake RGB? Actually any fake RGB is hideous, if you can't budget Neopixels, just give me all white.
@@SianaGearz There is an RGB version (which I have) and an all red version that's slightly cheaper, I think the fake RGB one is the most recent.
@JuicyyzFPS Did you just assume my gender?
@JuicyyzFPS me neither, no.
Final board sounds really good, nice job!
This video is literally my ideal content. Everything about it is perfect, I just subscribed :)
i didn’t even realize you hit 200k! congrats!
Same lol congratulations hipyo 🎉🎉🎉
@sskyer i’m very red, and i AM a cake
wait youtube acutally unsubbed
Bruuuh for $100 that's SOLID. Great job man! Also Glarses face at the end got me good
I have to say, that silicon o-ring "gasket mount" mod is absolutely clutch for tray mounted keyboards. HUGE difference. Another really good mod, which you could have done, is to put keycap O-rings on when you use high profile keycaps. It doesn't change the feel of bottoming out if you use a single o-ring, but it makes the bottom out sound quieter because there is less reverberation in the plastic.
In my case, o rings under the keycaps makes it super mushy and way higher pitched.not worth it
@@gearsgamer7115 hi can i know waht o ring to use???
@@madhavds don't use o rings under the keycaps it makes it mushy though. Ruins ot
@@gearsgamer7115 In this case (pun unintended), you put the O rings in between where you screw the plate and base in.
This is worth a subscribe. I like what you did with what you had...and now I kind of want to try to mod a keyboard myself.
Glarses looked so sad, I hope he cheers up soon and everything is fine with him
he always looks like that
@@tea101 he didn’t talk except for his presentation
@@SIXTEENSIXSIXTEEN i thought you meant his general attitude but yeah youre right watch his video if you want to understand it
His video explains it
All he needs is a set of Brown Switches
This is a really great sounding and looking keyboard. I commend you on doing your best!
This video inspired me a lot to customize my first keyboard. Had an old WYSE Y60 terminal keyboard, got these Akko Purple lavenders and threw 67 gram springs in there! The tactileness and the greater resistance feels amazing! A whole keycap set is really hard to find that perfectly fits this keyboard as the capslock, backspace, enter, print screen, right shift, and the massive 10u space bar just don't have any equivalents from what I looked for in a keycap set.
Hipyo, congrats on 1k! You deserve it!
lol nice video I like these keycaps finally I found it !! I've been looking for months but you just had it in your description lol!
Loved the video! Those lavender switches seem right up my alley, an affordable tactile switch that comes in a shade of purple! Now, if only I could find a 100% ISO hot swap PCB hahaha (or finally convince myself to drop the numpad as I only really use it for symbol typing)
Get a separate numpad for home use.
Thinking that now, with a 75%, like an Idobao ID80.
While hotswaps are great for installation I generally never change the switches on my keyboard. I own 2 hotswaps and the switches are the same since I put them in originally. My next keyboard project is the compact 110% called the Boston and it'll be fun to solder them in for a change.
there is the Keychron Q6 but it is expensive, 200$ for Iso Barebone with shipping.
Can't get there in time for the premier but i'm gonna watch it as soon as i can. Congrats on 200k!
You got hearted. Congrats!
I love your keyboard videos for some reason, they seem so relaxing
Wow, sounds fantastic! Great job and way to get creative.
I think one of the best things that you do . .is make all of your videos very beginner friendly! So you may not have won that competition, but you certainly have won the hearts of many people! Keep doing what you do! As a beginner to the whole mechanical keyboard hobby . . . I really really really look forward to your videos!
Now for all my questions( sorry for so many!)
1) I was looking at your latest . .Niz Plum deepest thock video . . .I was wondering, if there are mechanical keyboard sets for someone on a budget that are similar to that in terms of sound profile?
2) Also, do you have like videos that describe your top 10 favorite keycaps? and for desk-mats?
3) Finally, keyboard maintenance . . .which keyboards are backpack friendly? Which keycaps can take a lot of abuse? Cause a lot of stuff can get in them over time . . .are there tips/tricks that you have for keeping them clean longer? and keeping them functioning the same . . .maybe a year later?
tester68
and get a traveling case
I haven't heard the others yet but yours sounds great! And if it were up to me you'd win best looking keyboard! (I love green keyboards for some reason it just feels right to me).
@Tazerface sarabarassscriiibee
Congrats on the 200k and this video helped me a lot thanks
3:31 this gives me my first mech goosebumps 💀
And gratz for 200k subs, Hipyp!
*Hipyo
TYPO AAAAA I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT
Your videos make me want to try doing my own little keyboard mods.
New sub here. I really enjoyed watching this video. You have an awesome attitude and you’re funny as well. I was simply looking for videos on a pink keyboard for my daughter and became stuck watching this. Way to go!
Congrats on 200K!
Congratulations on 200k dude
Funny thing is, I bought this same exact keyboard (but with red switches) so I was really interested to hear the final result. Let’s just say I want to mod my keyboard now…..
that sounds VERY good for being such a cheap keyboard! Awesome job!
a VERY close second for the sound test!! awesome!! congrats 😎
you've elevated that keyboard to a freaking heaven. Good job
Have you ever considered using gasket sheets, like the rubber sheets used for cutting out custom gaskets, as padding for the inside of keyboards? I wondered if it may be a more convenient and less messy alternative to pouring silicone like you did in the video.
or maybe leather
3:39 I know that feeling, Outemu hot sockets are the worst sockets in the keyboard kingdom! They have a death grip on switches, making it hard to remove them without destroying part of the switch, and they're almost proprietary! They only work with Outemu, Gazzew, Akko, and Lcet switches. (Maybe more than that) (You need to cut the legs off some of the switches that fall under that umbrella to make them fit in the sockets) I know that A good amount of keyfeels fall under that umbrella, and you can trim the pins and take the legs off on some other switches to make them work, but you might not want to put up with that in the first place.
This was nice to watch over coffee ideas ideas ideas. Keep it up bro
I just watched Lewis's build and.... You got owned dude! ...Like no contest!
Good old e yooso! Looks great with the new caps tho!
It's A shame he didn't use a Z-77 or Z-88, as they are physically made better. Cough *Minus the rainbow backlight, some have* cough *should have been single color LEDs* cough, sorry about that some water must have gone down the wrong way.
Keybored himself? noice.
Before I saw this video, I barely had any knowledge that keyboard modding was even a thing. And I work in IT.
That thing sounded so good! Holy hell! 🔥🔥🔥
I sleep at the time :,) but imma watch it next moring, prioritising it over my class work :D
Funny enough, I just modded an E-yooso keyboard this morning as my first mod (a typewriter-style board was what I started with) and I actually really love the Outremu Blues it came with, they took what I loved about the MX Blues and beefed it up. Even better though were the stabs. Instead of having a bar to keep the keycaps level, it has a false switch on either side of the actual switch. It has zero wobble or rattle
Good luck changing them every year
@@elytr1a true. I had four different keyboards with Outemu switches (all four types) and there was a reason I bought four of them…
They all broke within a couple of months
Would spray Flex Seal work for the painted on silicone? Seems like it would fill in the cracks better and be a lot faster/easier. Loved the content.
Not as good for sound dampening.
@@yosemitesam9576 could you use flex seal, then use painters tape?
Congrats on 200k!!!
Your dry humor has me exhaling kind of hard. Well done. Subbed.
this just proves that u dont need to break the bank for a decent keyboard
I love the dead look in glarses eyes
Congrats on 200k!
The look on glarses face has me laughing
this and sqaushys vid on the same day cant wait
And switch and click's video
and lewis toh’s video
And andy v nguyen’s video
And the above's mentioned video
Been here since 30k,
cingrats on 200k
good vid loving the diy ideas haha
Anyone remember when IBM keyboards ( like 5150 original pc)?used Cherry keyswitches and cost about $350? I hope the designers who created the TRS 80 Model II keyboard with the foam and tinfoil got a raise for the elegant junk it was. How did it ever work? They survived more that I expected they could. Spill coffee in it, dry it out, clean the pcb traces with alcohol and it just worked.
I remember the buckling springs in the model f and model m keyboards. The f was more compact and i think the spring lever mech acted on an electrocapacitive element on the pcb. The model m came later and set the standard for keyboard layout but the buckling spring actuated a normal membrane. I never typed on a model f but supposedly it was higher quality than the model m but the early model m seems to be very well built regardless. Maybe they got lighter and more plastic over the years but the one i have from 1989 with a ps/2 cable is heavy and doesn't seem to lack steel parts inside.
So, is this up for sale now? This looks and sounds amazing!
Good to see you back in form Hipyo! Take it easy.
Hipyo: Has almost a full roll of press'n'seal left over from where he usually puts masking tape.
Also Hipyo: Uses masking tape as a seal when pouring liquids

Yesterday I left a comment at 202k subs and now, in the short span of 24 hours, you are at 207k. Congrats
Hi, since my actual keyboard is starting to die, i've been watching a lot of keyboard review ( especially from yours )
i've been searching for 2 weeks for the perfect 65% RBG keyboard for either typing and gaming (preferably wireless)
and this were it all begins... There was couple of keyboards that i want your help : Ducky one 2 SF or the Keychron K6 Backlight (both on either MX Red, Red Silent or Brown) ?
The main problem here is as a French i need an FR Azerty Layout but it seems impossible to see good looking FR layout that isn't sold out.
So i was wondering is there a way to buy french layout that fit for those keyboard ??
I'm not entirely sure what that is however several boards have something called via compatibility meaning you can change key functions with software
I have a Keychron K6 keyboard. I'd say it is a pretty good keyboard from my experience. The only thing i would say is inconvinient from this keyboard is its ABS keycaps, but that will be easy to solve if you have a bigger budget to replace them
Pretty late, but tada68
Only amazon and still came 2nd thats insane and the sound is so relaxing omg W
I’m just getting into the custom keyboard hobby and it’s been so fucking hard for me to get a grasp of it, but when you said “reverby”, as an audio engineer, i completely understood everything to know about this.
I loved glarses overbearing joy
@Tazerface wat
Plz review Akko CS switches as as budget switch. They are very cheap and they sound and feel better than Gateron Yellows (In my opinion). I have an rk61 which I modded heavily and hotswapped the switches for akko cs rose reds and they are very unknown, and I think they are great and I want to get your opinion on them for they are very cheap (10$ for 45 switches).
If you do review these switches, there are a lot but the ones I am talking about are the Akko CS Rose Reds, the Akko CS Matcha Greens, and the Akko CS Ocean Blues. They all are great and feel and sound amazing from what I have heard, but the only ones that I have tested personally are the rose reds.
Edit: I wrote this before watching the vid fully, but I would love to see a full review still.
I love that after the countdown, glasses just hit the floor
Bro I still remember when you were a small TH-camr I'm actually proud of you bro keep going
this is 25% of the reason that i found and loved lavender purples
7:18 gotta put a filter on your keyboard, cant risk giving your keyboard covid
Keyboard videos premiering on my birthday? Yay
best editing ever wow

Congrats on 200K. If you were into self Torture, you could always do a DIY on Modding the Logitech K845 keyboard. It's around $60, and at least has the option of their version of Cherry Blue,Red & Brown switches. And you'd get to unsold-er & solder new switches. 😀
I got this board and used Akko lavenders before I watched this video and I can agree an two things. The switches are hell to remove and the stabilizers are very, very rattley.
Congrats on hitting 200k
Great Job making that keyboard!
I just love it when the notification pops up "someone liked your comment" or "you got a new subscribers" it makes me happy
Call me crazy but I just got this keyboard for 15$ and have no need to change anything. My only hope is the switches last/don't differentially wear too bad. If I want a nice keyboard I'm going to get a nice base and everything...doesn't make sense to me to invest the time, money, or effort in what is always going to be worse than if you got what you wanted and built from there.
Fair enough. If you like the clicky switches try zealpc clickies or box jades
@@gearsgamer7115 The switches differentially wore so terribly it was like having half of one type of switch and half another. I will check those out, looking to upgrade.
@@GRAYgauss forgot to say that you probably have to buy a new keyboard. These sockets dont support all switches. Id suguest getting a ciy test 68
congrats on 420k nice
Great vid bro
WOW! that actually sounds really good!!
You should 100% do more DIY projects! try and make up some fun restrictions each time like a nuzlocke challenge but for keyboards!
Thanks for the sound test!!
Akko CS Lavenders are just amazing, I've had them for a week now and love them. And for the price it's crazy how good they sound and feel.
remember when u were at 20k good job man uve grown
I didn't even know u hit 200k congrats also I think I was here at 10k
Amazing improvement. I’m shocked
great video, Could you try to do more $100 keyboard builds as thats my monthly allowance
That switch removal looks like me getting them out of my keychron C1. That thing takes a switch and just holds on for dear life.
That colour scheme is FRESH! You should have won for Best Looking Keyboard!
Ayyy this is my 5000th video that I’ve liked
wait holy crap you actually made it sound insane!
Congrats 🎉 on 200k
Hipyo pls pin this comment
This is probably one of my favourite mods that Hipyo has done, how tf does it sound so gooooooddd
I use those akko lavenders in my build and I absolutely love them, I know not everyone likes tactile, but I dig em.
lets go a new one i couldnt watch i had school but pogg
I have been waitng for this day for the Akko Lavenders to appear. Now its timr for Radiant Reds!
good call on the akko cs lavenders. i have them on my own cheap-ass outemu-only hotswap mkb and they sound and feel pretty good for the price.
Dishwashing liquid is good to prevent silicon from sticking. Nice and funny adventure . The raiders of the cheap keyboars.
I’m very sick also, but I’m good, not covid, hope you get better and keep making BANGER content 😁😁
You did a great job. It's not my favourite colour scheme for keycaps though. Very respectable.
