Snazzy keycaps, but not my thing. Kind of too bad you didn't show it in a full 104 key keyboard. Also I'm just here because I hope that eventually you'll show a keyboard that's essentially the MS Natural Ergonomic 4000, but nice and mechanical with hotswap, per-key RGB, and preferably in 3 separate pieces. Not all of us are willing to deal with a keyboard that doesn't have a numpad and dedicated Scroll Lock key.
I would love a deep-dive into your design process, inspiration, and what working with different manufacturers is like. Keycaps are my favorite part of the hobby and I feel like there's not very much information around about how they get made.
Seconded, really enjoyed Matthew Encina’s video on the design process for his custom keycaps and working with GMK. I think he’s now releasing a set with KBDfans. I’m not someone who’s likely to ever want to release a set nor am I a hugely creative type, but learning more about the design and manufacturing side of the hobby is super interesting!
I just wanted to say, thank you! After watching a bunch of your videos, and years of only having crummy cheap keyboards, I have finally taken the dive into customizing a keyboard for myself. I took inspiration from your AliExpress video (because I'm on a STRICT budget). I'm excitedly waiting for everything to arrive!
Ok, French dude here, 5 months late and ... God I love your keycaps ! I can just hope that I will be able to order them when they're back because... you know, France is quite far x)
REALLY like the direction of this vid, feels more transparent somehow, seeing more of your living space, background on the process, feels more like a slice of life content mixed with keyboards. Great vid.
As a self-proclamed coffee enthusiast, I was looking for decent coffee themed keycaps to go with coffee themed deskpad. Unfortunately, I already got myself NicePBT Thai Tea set, but I'll will definitely buy this set too.
They do look nice. Having the quality of the legends and colors proper makes a big difference, I actually have 5 keyboards now after I watched your videos and 8 sets of switches. I have been eyeing key caps as my next venture. These are actually very nice.
SUPER nice keycap set!!! I am super glad you are getting into the making of your own keyboard accessories and I hope to buy a keyboard that you have made as well one day 😊. Keep it up!
even tho I dont got the money for a custom keyboard I love watching your videos. I probably watched like over 80 percent of your recent videos. Thanks to you I know quite a lot about keyboards compared to my previous amateur self. If I ever get a chance I will definitely build a coffee themed setup and play coffee talk with it LoL these look and sound purrfect
dude i just saw these keycaps because first i saw the GMK Tiramisu set and was like "wow" ok that looks cool but then realized its ABS. then i went to look for brown or coffee themed keycaps and found these. I decided to go with them and then i noticed they were designed by you haha.
Sooner or later Hipyo will remember that ISO layout exists (if only for a build). I have now noticed (after actually following the links) that the set includes ISO keys... and every other key you could possibly want. Very thorough, i'll give them that.
love your videos, LOVE them, and i havent watched the whole video yet but i really wanted to comment and say "I have that exact same IKEA couch". I hope i can order those keycaps soon.
The color scheme and images are great. If it was in a profile I like, with big centered labels, it'd be tempting. (profiles with spherical scoops instead of cylindrical, like DSA and MT3)
I would love a deep dive into making the keycaps. An hour long vid would be amazing. I've recently gotten my wife into mech keyboards and she want's to use her die sub cricut stuff to make one off keycap sets. Have you seen similar to her idea?
As someone trying to get into customizing keyboards for the first time, I am finding keycaps are the most confusing things to find. Seems like no one uses the same descriptions for keyboards and then some websites don't sell things in a full-set so it makes it hard to find stuff that all works together (especially because I need a full 100% set). It's almost cheaper for me to design my own set and order custom. Which is frustrating. Would like a video explaining how to shop for keycaps.
I would love more information on the keycap creation process. It seems like all the cute ones are always sold out so there is clearly demand for more!?
Would LOVE an indepth look the keycap dev!! :D Also, crazy timing too because I attempted a coffee-themed build with the new QK65v2 Classic Champagne colour. The Neo80 in Champagne could be a gorgeous golden/bronze colour to show off these keycaps on a larger build TKL build 🥰 I wasn't able to get coffee-themed switches in time for my build, but my choice might be the budget-friendly HMX Macchiatos! and apparently Alexoto's fave HMX switch too ☺
Those look so great, just tried my first dye sub pbt this past week and I definitely prefer them. Also a weird recommendation of a keyboard to try out is the Redragon Eisa. It is pretty cheap and is actually very good despite what I usually thought about the brand when I last tried them.
I am probably not the target demo for these keycaps (i do not like coffee) but i am the target demographic for nerdy rants about product development, plastic moudling and budgetting and ways to make it manageable. And even though im not interested in coffeee i have to admit this keyboard is CUTE
Saw these keycaps in person at the Studio Keebli UCSD event and they are GORGEOUS Also it was a great experience meeting you at the event I was star struck to say the least-
Omg my first keyboard is literally your plant key caps, the iced latte switches and the zoom 98! It sounds ✨ HEAVENLY✨ Now everyone is jealous and I've sent them to your videos to find one of their own. My girlfriend just bought the Epomaker Leobog keyboard from your video!
great vid and i love ur coffee keycaps.i also got a question i have a problem with my stabs it got this weird problem when i half press it and spam it, it gets significantly heavier to press i just installed durock plate mounted stabs and lubing makes it worse plz help (Only asking it on yt coz reddit is apparently useless) Edit: No my spacebar is not warped
I really wish there was some sort of robust online service to design your own keycaps without needing to order 100s-1000s of them...just make a perfect set for yourself. Choose materials, profile, colors, fonts, have ability to upload images for specialty keys, allow shinethrough, etc. Like heroforge but for keycaps!
I would have bought these if I had a mechanical keyboard and you had a nordic-se layout but for now I love my membrane it sounds so perfect in my ears and has gained sentimental value over the years, going from a cheap keyboard I bought because I needed one to a keyboard I NEED to replace(missing space keycap so I put the home button there instead, fn not working and one other hey not working) but so don't want to replace.
Ugghhhhh When are these going to come back in stock!!! I just finished my entry build and currently I am utilizing the Drop DCX Latte set but it just isn't the right color combo to go with this gorgeous coffee shop desk matt that you created (currently on display on my workstation).
yes!!! The keycaps look incredible, congrats. I’d love a full deep dive into the software you used and design side of your process. I want to design my own set one day. Does the set come with Mac modifiers?
You went with "Super"? Man, I've been waiting for a "Hyper" in a keycaps set for ages! "Meta" is pretty rare, but I've seen it and have a set with it (although it's not a great set). I'd snap up a "Hyper" set (which, given the coffee theme, would actually make a lot of sense). Still, it's a pretty nice set. The color palette is very nice to look at.
I love your keycaps, As a proud filipino, I adore coffee more than any beverages, but sadly 3 in 1 coffees is all than i can afford rn, but with great ambition, im gonna build myself a custom keyboard someday!!!
I subscribed because you are amusing, but I originally found your channel because of the crazy keyboard mod videos you used to do. Only been in the hobby about a year & I already have 8 keyboards (but disappointingly none of them have actually needed to be modded).
I'm still pretty new to the keyboarding hobby, and I've learned a lot from your videos (thank you btw!); but, I would love to hear about/see a video on the keycap design process.
Why do so many keycap sets feature two, one or no top row novelties? I need four for my Keychron Q6 pro. Also, ÷ instead of / on the numpad is inexplicably popular. Why not provide both?
Looks freaking great! And awesome that you made the base kit so comprehensive - as a filthy Nordic ISO user, i probably won't be able to important these without hefty toll and "handling" fees, but do you have any plans for possible international kits? On another note, during the design process, did you ever look in to and consider different profiles other than cherry?
What??? Hippo... no no no... I wasn't going to spend anything keyboard related this month, to save up for a new motorbike... Now what have you done?!?!
Very nice keycaps. Realy like it but 22$ Shipping + 17$ Taxes + the Tolling stress. Thats a little bit to much. We talk about rougly 120€ cost. I pay 136€ (including shipping form GMK set including International kit) Would it be possible to also find an EU retailer? To put that into perspective because that was an argument in the video
@@HipyoTech Thanks. Nice to hear. I showed that set to my colleagues very positive feedback. I got an additonal question: Are you planning to provide an “international” kit?

"Made"? I would say designed. Some poor lads in China were the ones to make that.
Clacky/Thocky is underrated.

+1 on this !
your budget info is a lifesaver and also watching you get this nerdy over this exxxxxtreme end of keyboards is just wholesome

Is Alfred your twin brother? You guys really look alike!

Nice job, Hipyo!
Ok, French dude here, 5 months late and ... God I love your keycaps ! I can just hope that I will be able to order them when they're back because... you know, France is quite far x)
Man thanks so much for using my switches here! It fit the theme perfectly. Absolutely love these caps and the process was so interesting to see!
REALLY like the direction of this vid, feels more transparent somehow, seeing more of your living space, background on the process, feels more like a slice of life content mixed with keyboards. Great vid.
2:40 Don't forget the sticker!! No!!
Fill it with coffee beans
Yes definitely
As a fellow Seattle-ite....I cannot wait for this set to arrive AND for my Rain75 to arrive. Coffee and Rain? Sounds like heaven to me.
Wich i could afford the keycaps they look so so good nice workhipyo, will buy when i have neough money :)
Ngl I thought you were going to stir your coffee with a twix
Good job hipyo✨
I'd like to hear more about the key cap dev. Thanks Hipyo!

Just ordered mine, so hyped to get them!
Omg I love the iced latte switches!! They really smell like coffee! They sound and feel SO nice ❤
This looks awesome! If any way possible, please bring back the matching deskmat as well.

Bro I like coffee and this is epic bro 🔥
love it ! received them in 72hrs (greetings from the Netherlands)
AYY CONGRATS ON 1 MILLION SUBS!
So nice of HipyoTech to finally invent keycaps. My fingers are starting to hurt after just typing on bare switches.
That's the keycaps from that video that I loved the colors of! Super into these...
Beautiful caps, congratulations.
Alfred's latte art is disappointing
Shut up
I guess we know why he's not a barista anymore.
On god
These look very good. My wait for a Hipyo ABS keycap set continues….
i love the more chill vids! you should do some more soon
dude i just saw these keycaps because first i saw the GMK Tiramisu set and was like "wow" ok that looks cool but then realized its ABS. then i went to look for brown or coffee themed keycaps and found these. I decided to go with them and then i noticed they were designed by you haha.
I would LOVE to have a super long video about every details of custom keycaps making!
It was crazy seeing this set in person! Congrats on your success!
Sooner or later Hipyo will remember that ISO layout exists (if only for a build).
I have now noticed (after actually following the links) that the set includes ISO keys... and every other key you could possibly want. Very thorough, i'll give them that.
Congrats on 1 million subs!
this set looks beautiful! good job! 🎉
love your videos, LOVE them, and i havent watched the whole video yet but i really wanted to comment and say "I have that exact same IKEA couch". I hope i can order those keycaps soon.
Would absolutely love to learn more! I’ve just started digging into how to make my own set and your timing couldn’t be better!
The color scheme and images are great. If it was in a profile I like, with big centered labels, it'd be tempting. (profiles with spherical scoops instead of cylindrical, like DSA and MT3)
I love these way to go Hipyo
I've been waiting for this... Getting my own kit tomorrow!!!
That's so cool! Your colour choices were very slay 💅
thanks for sharing your process hipyo, this was pretty cool to see!
I've been looking for a coffee or espresso theme keyboard for weeks, and you gave me both in one! Thanks a lot!
Got them on my zoom 98 they came out the day I built it and they look really good 👌
I would love a deep dive into making the keycaps. An hour long vid would be amazing. I've recently gotten my wife into mech keyboards and she want's to use her die sub cricut stuff to make one off keycap sets. Have you seen similar to her idea?
Everyone like and sub on this video since he put in so much work.
Hey Hipyo, could you review the attack shark k85? Thank you for the great content and all the info!

Dude I can’t lie these are top notch keys. Hopefully I can get some soon
I bought them. Put them in a Keychron board with AKKO Cream Blue Pro V3's. Fantastic!
It even sounds like coffee brewing, good job :3
