Finally the video I've been waiting for 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Is it a good idea to leave on the film?
Is the Cidoo V65 any different than the Cidoo V75 apart from the layout? As you made a video on the V65 but didn't like it as much as the V75
@@Jonas028 FILM* is it a good idea?
What happened to the pinned comment about the film @HipyoTech ?
Thank you for plugging in your mic Hipyo. Very smart of you.
I love how there are so many more affordable options coming out that are actually good. I don't really have the budget for most of them, but they are the types of boards that I could maybe save up for, which was never going to happen with a $300+ option...I just couldn't find any possible way to justify paying that much..but when I'm now seeing options in the $80-$120 range...well that's different. I could maybe rationalize that expense and not feel too bad about it.
Also, please keep showing your cat in your videos, hell, show more of her!
Another really good budget custom is the Neo65 it's cheaper than the board shown on the video but it is also a 65% as opposed to a 75% shown which layout you prefer is up to you but if you like 65% have a look at that.
Bought the monsgeek m1w fully assembled. Modded it a bit. It's good enough for me. Lol
I bought the "Techware phantom 87 plus elite" (a bit of a tongue twister). However, I really don't regret buying it. the keyboard has held up well and sounds quite good especially with the "tape mod". I chose the brown switches which are made by Techware, and they have also held up pretty well (feeling, quality, and sound wise). But if anyone got this specific keyboard, I would recommend the tape mod, and also to mod the space bar and a few other keys by putting double sided tape in the keys for a more THOCKY experience. I hope this helped, if not sorry for wasting your time. (BTW: it cost about 80 U.S dollars)
Thank you for plugging in your mic, Hipyo, very smart of you!

@@alexrouse8909 My build. cost me $800... $100 is budget.
I have another one I biuilt from a alliexpress board.. cheap ass switches & some Temu Kaps that cost me $80 & $15 of that was lube. its sounds great!
I see nola's interactions in the video as an absolute win 🤷♂
She saw a cool box and went for it. Good kitty!
yasssss kittehhhhhhh
The slower pace is quite nice. i like how indepth you went. Both keyboards end up looking great but its interesting how the barebones just doesnt save you money. Like at all. The switches are always gonna cost you more than 10 dollars (unless your a keyboard youtuber with a closet full of switches) and its the same for keycaps. Its kinda wild.
Ended up getting prebuilt and I am loving it. Went from a Logitech G610 (thank you for many years of service) to this. Thank you for this video!
Thanks for the 2seconds of sound test. Now I can decide which one to buy.
Thank you for the comparison, I picked up the prebuilt a couple weeks ago. Lubed the switches and stabs, did the band aid and tape mode and it sounds and feels great!
I picked the 65 version out for my friend and these boards are really good value. I like that there are other options than the keychrons in terms of design.
Thanks for the Video man! I watched the "I tried over 60 keyboards" video (and FYI, loved it) you helped me to find my first proper keyboard and totally love my choice of the retro look Cidoo V75. So thanks again!!
Hey, a little late on a comment, but if I buy the prebuilt, do you recommend swapping switches at all? Because I ordered switches (Vertex V1's) and I am thinking about buying the Cidoo V75. It sounds good stock but I think I may change the switches. Did you change the switches at all?
Thank you for plugging in your mic, Hippyo. Very smart of you. 🤓
I used this keyboard as my first build and it is awesome. Definitely recommend this one to any beginners!
Thank you for plugging in your mic, Hipyo. Very smart of you
I have the prebuilt V75 and it’s so amazing, the typing and sound is so fluent and amazing. I personally don’t have any complaints about it
Cidoo has been on a roll these days! They just can't miss with their recent releases
I'm finally pulling the trigger off the prebuilt version, found a lil bit of rattle on the stabs, but overall, loving it so far!
Thank you for plugging in your mic hipyo, very smart of you
I believe the keyboard with the screen is being sold as the V75 PLUS and is also sold as the Finalkey V81 PLUS.
So basically, if you see PLUS it's got a screen.
Hoping Hipyo can get a hold of a Leobog Hi75 and the AI75. These are really pushing the lower end of the hobby forward.
Plus the Hi75 uses a PP plate... heheh, PP.
Oh my, my cidoo v75 just arrived and it sounds so much better than my old corsair keyboard... Bought the prebuilt version, it's my first customisable mechanical keyboard, thanks for the recommendation!
Do u recommend it ? After using it for 2 months
@@iikarkoHi there,
Yes, I've been using it daily and it doesn't dissapoint! The sound is truly great. Not too loud, not too soft. I only use static white backlighting so i can't comment on RGB. The cable is nice and long, the keyboard is pretty heavy though, really feels premium but i don't recommend taking it elsewhere!
TLDR: Highly recommended!
Thank you for plugging in the mic Hipyo 🙏
This is EXACTLY what i like, Thank you
The slower pace was actually quite nice, another great video. Would love to see some larger keyboards, but they don't fit on my desk anyways :(
I've picked up a number of GMK67s from Ali recently and they all have that plastic, just poke holes and go it makes them sound much deeper compared to previous version I had. Been looking at building one of these, definitely have to check it out now! I picked up those switches in the prebuilt, Matte I'm assuming, as someone suggested a comparison to my WS Morandi but with less stem wobble. They are definitely smooth but also louder and a little higher pitched than the Morandi. Still I was very impressed as they were about half the price.
this video will actually help so much ive been trying to make a custom keyboard but i also gotta save some money for it... anyways i think i know what keyboard i want to get. thanks hipyo
Love the slower pace
Ordered mine pre build 5 days ago and it came in today. 5 day shipping from china to US is crazy!
Just got the prebuild, really sounds amazing. Best kb purchase ever! (sounds better than my 500$+ custom kb)
I used 21kb retro keycaps on my cidoo to match the case color, Shop their clearance section and you can get $35 sets (It's usually just their overstocks, not retired or flawed caps)
So I don't have this exact board, but I do have the v65 r1 which is basically this board but with a few quality of life things that don't really affect feel or sound. I put ws heavy tactiles, with just 2 layers of tap mod, and damn does it thock nicely, I recommend people try this combo as it's my favorite one I've had so far.
For the problem with the switches, something quite similar happened to me. I had a keyboard with lubed switches (I lubed them myself), and after traveling by plane in my checked-in luggage, some switches were dead. Not idea whether the lubricant is responsible or just the transport (might have something to do with temperature difference in a plane? Or pressure?), but yeah, switches don't seem to like this so much (never had any issue when traveling in cabin luggage though)
maybe the keyboard was just handled rough and the leaves inside the switches folded?
Loved the pacing of this video!
The keyboard I'm most excited for is the keychron q1he it's basically the q1 pro series but with hall effect switches like a wooting or steelseries board and yes there are other options out there for hall effect keyboards ive become use to the great build quality you get from keychron I like it when it feels like I could fight someone with my keyboard before it broke
How could anyone not like the great cat moments. Nola interrupting great vidles is honestly a highlight
Ended up ordering this one, just because I liked the colorway more than the Dusksilver ones for the same featrures. I am looking forward to it getting here! My first mechanical keyboard even if it is a prebuilt :P
Just build my first keyboard, and I am super happy with it.
I have a project for you (if you haven't done it already). Instead of spending that much on tiny amounts of expensive lube, get some Super Lube silicone PTFE grease. It's what I've always used on switches and stabs, and IMO it works great.
Be warned though, if you lube switches with it, use an _extremely_ light coating.
It's cheap and you can get a big tube of it. Enough for a lifetime of keyboards.
the zoom75 killer! cidoo can't miss rn, got mine build with Gateron Quinns and it's all i ever wanted
nowhere near a Zoom75 killer, Zoom75 can go foamless while feeling and sounding amazing, but that board sure isnt bad
Got zoom75 and cidoo v65, and I can't say that cidoo is a zoom killer - v65 feels cheaper, sounds much worse out of the box than zoom, keycaps are not for everyone (I immediately replaced the stock ones cause they hurt my eyes plenty), flex so-so. Guess 75 is not far from 65, but yes - cidoo is cheaper, can be modded and available right now, unlike zoom, which you can't buy just like that. Now my zoom is almost perfect and cidoo will be rebuilt completley in an attempt to reach the level of zoom
Ordered a prebuilt version of this, I really liked the thick keycaps, beige style and the typings. It will be my first "custom" keyboard. I want to mod it so I can get the best sound/feel. I have been searching for a while, this keyboard seemed like a good choice. I use an MX Mechanical Mini rn, i like it but I want to have something that will represent my tastes.
Thanks for the videos, keep being awesome!
Thanks you for this video I really needed to find a decent budget keyboard and I wanted to know which one I want..
After many videos of research I ended up going with the prebuilt CIDOO ABM084 with Gateron Pro Yellow switches (yesterday I didn't even know the difference in switches). I feel very proud of myself! haha
honestly that looks nice. Might have to buy it simply due to me being a collector lol. Sounds is really not that bad for a budget board, about what you expect with a lot of foam which is fine as I do like that sound. Another board I am looking at is the new QK75N as a potential to replace my main board. Keep up with great content man
oh come on, it sounds really good, ESPECIALLY for a budget board...
I was waiting for your review of this!
I literally bought this keyboard last night, and this is the first TH-cam video I see today
Thanks Nola for taking care of Hipyo!
Retro look with knob is a killer! cheers!
I really love when Nola appears in your videos. It's like putting strawberry syrup on ice cream, the ice cream is still delicious but it gets even better.
Good review as always, thank you.
Got this keyboard last August with the blue cat keycaps and zugGear T1 tactile 67g switches and its freaking great. Just make sure you lube your stabs and you will be happy for a budget keyboard.
Stop showing your keyboards in your videos! I wanna see you build a cat!
We need to see him build a car

I have the Finalkey v81 plus which is basically the same keyboard but with more color options and proper software and via support, really great for the price of $130. 100% recommend for anyone trying to get into custom keyboards. the only thing I dislike is the lack of plate options
the Cidoo V75 Plus also has VIA support, wdym by proper software? is it for the LCD screen?
u could try contacting FinalKey for the plate file, they're pretty accommodating when i requested for their V65 plate file and got myself a customized alu plate
Great video as always. You never fail with your understated humor. Especially the butt joke. Instant Hipyo Classic. lol
I've just gotten the CIDOO v75 by your recommendation and it's probably the best place I could've started imo. a huge upgrade from the 10 year old keyboard that probably came with a computer that I've been using. Quite the experience! I'm trying not to go too far on the -anything keyboard- for fear I'll become too invested and spend quite a lot of money like all of my other hobbies
Nola is by far the best Sidekick i've ever seen in a video
I have a a few custom boards and some pre builts. This board is definitely my favorite!
i really wanted the barebones one with the screen had rgb, or any lighting. i love a classy dim white light especially at night
this is exactly what I like, thank you
With the off-grey (80's90s) aestetic of the aluminum I could very easily see this be amazing with some Star Trek coloured keycaps
Or Gameboy/SuperNintendo for the Retro Video game nerds
Love to see your videos and Nola! Don't say no to kitty
Honestly the inclusion of Nola in your videos breaks the immersion in a wonderful way, and I think we're gonna need to see more Nola in the next coming videos. 12/10.
The custom built one sounds poppier than the prebuilt one to my ears. Both sound fantastic though! Also, here's a like for quality cat time :D
It’s 130usd though and it’s still quite expensive for a barebones board in my opinion I think like 100usd is like a better budget for a barebones kit
Depends on where you live tbh, I got this for 104$ got some akko switches for 20$ and some cheap keycaps for 20$.
In this case the value comes more from the prebuilt!!
@@HipyoTech oh ok
@@anaepeotI live in Singapore so it’s about 170 for me
@@HipyoTech could you review the feker ik65?
7:30 Keychron switches are only $16 for a full set and they're prelubed. I just got the Mints or Mint pros or whatever they're called, and I don't even remember them mentioning lube on the website, so I started pulling all the switches apart and about halfway in I noticed they were prelubed. There's very minimal lube on them and none on the springs so if that's not your preference maybe don't get them, but you'll always be making that kind of tradeoff with prelubed switches so I can't really complain. The switches feel really good imo.
love your relation with your cat my friend!!! they are family!!!!! :D
Oh my god Hipyo, building a keyboard? this is really daunting. i just stumbled upon your video because i saw a cool tiktok or something
Thanks for plugging in your mic
I just built my first custom keyboard with leoborg greywood v4, and none of them were malfunctioning. I'm guessing that it's the seller that you bought from is the problem, cause' the greywood v3 has been quite popular in the Chinese language communities, and it's not that I heard of any report that their switches have that high percentage of bad units.
THANK YOU FOR PLUGGING IN UR MIC HIPYO so smart of you :(
Even if this was $80 bucks I wouldn’t buy it… I’m that broke
Now I'm torn between that one and the monsgeek M1W. Seems to be about the same, can't really fathom the difference between the two to be honest. I've got a Leopold FC750r in brown with QMX clips and a Nuphy Air V2 atm, and i'd like something to replace the Leo that's a bit "lighter" and easier to mod. Which one of the two would you recommand? Thanks.
Both are good 😊
I got the cidoo v65 v2 with lubed and filmed aqua kings and it sounds like water on wood!!!! Thocktastic
Would love to see a review on the NEO65! Seems to be a crazy good deal.
The black Keychron Q1 at 9:55 has the same mt3 purple caps I put onto my black Keychron Q65. Seeing that threw me for a bit of a loop. :D
I’m pretty sure you should poke the holes on the pcb
I use the leobog V3 and the leobog V4 of that switch and never had an issue before. The V4 are nicer and are 5 pin while the V3 are only 3 pin. Pretty much the same price and I would use the V4's over the V3 anytime. I used them in my Leobog Hi75 all aluminum case keyboard and only paid $63 Canadian for the barebones one with no lighting. For $30 more you can get the RGB one. I love this keyboard and how it sounds. All thanks to watching Hipyo and now I have a custom keyboard build adiction now. Thanks Hipyo...
do not buy anything else. buy this, it is the best in its price range by FAR, and is better than most of my 3-400 dollar customs i swear
Are you sure because this is a year old?
@@Logan-nl4ws i use it daily and i absolutely love it
the lil face keycaps are soo cute!
I want to build a keyboard too. The problem is I wanna have a German 75% keyboard and for mac. I have a low budget too. Can you suggest anything? ❤
Thank you for plugging in your mic hipyo
Can you do a sound compilation video of every keyboard you’ve made this year? ❤️
Can we like.. not call any keyboard above $50 "budget" please? I'm broke asf dawg, you can't keep calling $200 budget 😭
edit: guys stop replying to my comment with your thoughts, this comment was made 2 months ago at the time of writing this and I don't give a single shit tbh. Save the time and just don't respond because my ass will NOT be reading allat lmfao
Ikr😿
When a high end keyboard can be over a thousand dollars 200 *is* actually budget.
@@foxboy1305 the way I see it, anything $50 or less is budget, anything $150 and below is good, anything $500 or below is expensive, and anything above that is just top of the line and super expensive. I'm 14 dawg, my perspective of money isn't the same and is quite dumb but that's just the way I see it.
True
But it is budget? It may not be to you, and that is understandable, but you see, as Einstein said, everything is relative and if you compare the prices in keyboards, and not just your very personal and subjective financial situation, 200$ is simply budget for a custom keyboard. That's how the world and the market is right now kiddo, sorry, and it makes sense for hipyo or other ppl in general to call it budget in his videos.
It would be cool if you made an episode where you cover all four walls of a room with your keyboards. And then go on an ASMR frenzy.
thank you for plugging in your mike hipyo thank you :)
I'm very interested in mechanical keyboards. I've purchased a few but didn't like the ones I tried. There may be many reasons for this but for me, not having shine-through key caps is a deal breaker. It seems like it's quite rare to find, and I don't understand why that is. Why are so many companies producing keyboards with backlit keys, but not shine-through caps? You won't be able to see the legends at all in low light.
“What am I, some kind of monster that going to tell a cat no?” -> subscribed
Is there a black version of the keyboard or if not is is ok to spray paint it ?
Thumbs up for the cat. Keyboards are nice too
Please do a review of the Leobog Hi75
Ah, your cat and your videos. I had pet skunks, and one of them, Professor Moriarty liked to be lifted onto my desk so he could nose things around. Just a general inspection. When he wanted down he's pause over my keyboard and a blissful look would come over his face. When I lifted him down, my keyboard would be wet and stop working. When did it start raining in here? I laughed it off and swapped in another cheap keyboard.
Try the Leobog Hi75 Keyboard! It's so creamy and overall a great budget alternative to the Zoom75!!!
That prebuilt sounds damnnnnnn good.
this reminds me of how I bought the prebuild Keychron Q3 because it was the only way to get the white alu case but then I ripped everything out and treated it as a barebones anyway lol.
This is identical to the V81 plus which I built on stream recently. Must be the same manu. I was actually really impressed, even with the stabs. It’s actually not bad without foam. But I found that it was pretty good with the plate foam at least. The case foam does help a tad though.
Love the LTT screwdriver 😊
Can we have a video of the best READY TO BUY keyboards for 2023 Hip?! 😇
Would you recommend the keybord over the M1
I know these videos are very helpful, but do you have any ideas around mid-range non budget keyboards (barebones or not)?
Prebuild sounded better to me, cause it was more creamy. Custom was also creamy, but had a more clicky sound
good lord this keyboard sounds like butter
Any suggestions on ready to buy or custom keyboard for someone who wants to build a gaming/video editing PC? Maybe something between a %60-%75 keyboard? I’m new to everything
