im excited this christmas bc my parents promised to get me all the things i needed for my first ever custom keyboard. Thanks for getting me into a whole new genre of creativity
The build turned out really damn nice! Great job Hipyo.

shoobs can you make some anti-linears that are horrid to here but amazing to type on
@@4hat358 But WHY?
@@user-ke1gn3ql1g I guess he hates his ears
your cool
yes it's kailh red stem, it's 99% of nk cream stem.
As someone who recently got into custom keyboards and back into competitive apex, this was awesome to see! Great work on the keyboard it looks absolutely incredible!
what rank are you on apex?
@@AchilliesVl I got to masters both splits in season 11, I haven’t played much of season 12 tho not really a fan of the maps hoping next season goes back to storm point and worlds edge
@@zgmurph aShit
@@zgmurph this comment aged well…
You probably cause me to quit for a while on some random game I wouldn’t be surprised 😂
I have been wanting to build my own keyboard for like 3 years and this Christmas I'll make my first one. I'm very excited but this hobby looks to be a lot more complex the more advanced you get.
It’s a great a fun hobby, when you get the hang of it you would be craving to build another one that’s why you see a lot of keyboards on content creators walls :)
I built my first one yesterday. Dont have any lube or grease so I need to get that sorted eventually but for now it works and the normal keys sound so good (kbd67 with boba u4ts)
@@potatosoup19129 I'm kinda scared of lubing because it seems hard but I'll probably try to do it since it makes a big difference in sound
@@pobayy yea, my keyboard and other stabilized keys sound awful xD
@@potatosoup19129 Lol, did you mod the keeb in any way?
Man, I just got into mechanical keyboards like two months ago. Just finished my first build and I’m already seeing a lot of gatekeeping and elitists. Is this what the community is like or am I just unlucky enough to come across those kinds of people so often?
Like any hobby, really depends where you end up. There are great parts and bad parts.
I have ran into a few elitists but for the most part just ignore those people and you will find a lot of people that are actually extremely nice and willing to help out people getting into the hobby.
If I am being honest the elitist people are into the hobby for a different reason. They want to feel special, where as people who are genuinely into the hobby are typically more than happy to help people who are just starting out.
yeah sadly there seems to be a ton of elitists. I made a post on /r/mechanicalkeyboards asking few questions about models that interested me and some tips that arent obvious for a beginner, got 2 responses and the whole post was downvoted to hell. Even people who responded to me got downvotes for being brave enough to help a newbie
@@TheFowo I recommend checking out some discords from custom keyboard creators, I asked some questions in alexotos twitch chat and everyone there was super nice and helpful. I generally avoid reddit because people can be really weird on there.
@@TheFowo a lot of this is because they see the same thing over and over when they’ve been in the hobby for a while. When you realize that most of the information out there can be searched - you look down on people who cant do the same. 🤷 Most are just jaded and if you actually do your homework they’ll be more than happy to lend a hand
"This is your average budget keyboard"
Literally takes out my actual keyboard
I really need a new one.
We all started somewhere
Now you find out how deep the rabbit hole goes......
Guys I'm in too deep please stop yourself from making a custom keyboard its not worth it I'm in crippling debt but for some reason I cant stop when ever any signal group buy happens I have to have it I live in my moms basement and I sleep on the floor I cope by saying it was worth it for the endgame cherry mx brown 24k gold keyboard. help me
I think people tend to forget that we as people are willing to go the extra mile for self expression and/or just for pure style/cool points
Yeah. It's like fashion and cool looking cars. Theoretically a plain white shirt and an old used car will do the same thing but it just feels good to have something just for your taste.
@@emailing that’s the dumbest thing I ever heard. What you going to go walk around public with your keyboard? Lol
@@cheeseballs9579 it’s for self indulgence. They aren’t wrong. I got my own custom for the exact reason. To have something custom for yourself
I think it's also that most people just don't know what they're missing. If they have never seen a custom keyboard before or heard the way it sounds, they wouldn't know that there was something better than the standard keyboard that comes with their computer. It was actually only today that I learned that custom keyboards are a thing, because yt reccomended that airup review and I wanted to check out some of hippyo's other videos, but now that I've seen how pretty keyboards can look and how satisfying they can sound, I'm interested in buying a nicer keyboard and potentially customizing it if I ever have the opportunity to. I think if everyone had the opportunity to actually try out a nice custom keyboard right next to a standard one, then a lot more people would be interested in the hobby, or at least want to spend the money to get a nicer keyboard.
@@cheeseballs9579 Not many people see the inside of your home, but I imagine that you still want it to look nice, because you're the one who is going to live there and see it every day. Similarly, not many people are going to see the keyboard you use (aside from coworkers if you bring it to work, or people who come to your house,) but that's not the point. Expressing yourself isn't for other people; it's for you, because when you have something unique that you picked out/customized according to your own taste, then you are the one who benefits by getting to use something you really enjoy. Every time you see or use that object, it brightens your day and you feel a wave of happiness and fulfillment wash over you, which is worth a lot if you don't have many things in your life that bring you joy.
The real question is: Why does everyone always make them so ugly?
(Yes, yes. I know it’s a matter of taste.)
Money can't buy style?
Also, what's puzzling is how common these cut down, crippled models are. When putting down that much money, or hell, even just a couple of hundred, I'd sure get a full-size chungus.
As Yngwie said, how can less be more. More is more.
Hi there! Fun fact: While kintsugi is meant to mean “golden repair”, it’s been more and more common to see silver, platinum, and copper showing up in repairs!
An Apex fan. Didn't watch Albralelie's streams too closely, certainly not enough to know TSM Albralelie had recently gotten a custom keyboard. Great to see Apex pros in the custom scene. Will inspire more options for the consumer.
Racing stripes were actually functional. They make it much easier to identify specific teams/cars at distance, especially back when cars were otherwise painted in a single colour to show country of origin.
This type of build is definitely for the people who want way more than just “nice to have” and certain for the 1%. It doesn’t mean that the other 99% can’t enjoy it from the distance!
Agreed… My professional life is attached to keyboards for software dev and all that goes with it, and… I can’t justify spending anywhere near this.
This is a hedonic treadmill level of keyboard here.
To outdo (read: outspend) will be a bad addiction.
Well, better than most addictions!
@@strictnonconformist7369 That is if the build quality doesn't betray the price tag. As long as it doesn't, even a long time membrane/scissor key user like me would have felt like receiving a package from god's workshop (build to last).
@@TheGamingMotionTGM even then, random failures/things happen, and all things designed and made by man die eventually.
ngl it looks shite for the price but to each his own. I am sure it feels great to type on tho
TLDR: there is absolutely no reason to have a super expensive build… but it cool doe
Baller build my man!! Nothing feels better than a happy client ✨
Just once, you should say, "This part is made out of aluminium and aluminum," just to see the reaction from the audience.
My friends were all getting one so I wanted to make one too after seeing them with customs. Your channel was a big help in finding lots of information and awesome keyboards!

Get a rk61/gk61 with yellow switches from amazon for 60 dollars ish then mod it yourself with modding it will be 115 dollars ish very cheap for modded keyboard sound and feel, otherwise u need to save up begging wont get u anywhere
@@blast4726 see man if you don't know iam India ok don't think all Indian are poor.. But man iam 14 years old and I can't buy stuff dude I k ow heo to mod and stuff but no money
I would pay 2k for this
Day 1 of asking Hpyo to make a full size keyboard because thats what's actually useful
I don't know if it's just me but budget keebs are starting to sound better than expensive ones? Like we don't need pricy switches anymore with switches like Kang Whites and we dont need expensive kits anymore with the literally endless catalogue of fantastic budgets - don't even get me started on keycaps where the highest grad GMK cant even last as long as a $30 set off of amazon?
Hey if you see this I am desperate lol… but anyways ignore me as I take you on a guilt trip to answer me. But where do you buy most of you key caps? Like what brands/sites do you get them from. With a budget of 50 or less. I’m only 14 so I’m saving for this but between housing, switches foam, key caps it pushing me so if that’s a low price point for them don’t make fun lol.
Do welders buy a cheap welder? No. It's a tool for me. It's just disgusting that companies supply garbage chairs, keyboards and monitors or not supplying standing desk. Just my short rant.
Actually for ergonomic boards (boards for typists) you want to reduce overall travel distance, thus meaning a shorter bottom out is preferable. The whole "When typing you shouldn't be bottoming out thing" is to do with trying to keep your travel distances low. Personally, I've never managed it simply because it feel like I have to carry a lot of tension through my fingers to do it, and that straight up feels bad. Kailh Choc switches have become exceedingly popular with typists for the precist reason mechanical keyboard hobbyists who like things like heavy tactiles hate them
I have found your channel a few months ago and since then I haven't missed a single video. Your videos have helped me find a place to start with building keyboards and I just finally decided to drop money to build a keyboard. In addition I would just like to say that as much as you may not realize you and your videos bring joy to a-lot of people. I am a college senior, and the day you did your big giveaway stream I was having a really bad day with my school work. I had been basically doing homework since you started the stream; anyway when you announced that you had been streaming for 5 hours, I got really depressed realizing that I had been sitting doing homework all day and I commented in the stream "who else has been her for 5 hours" as a joke. However you just reacting to my comment the joyful and fun way you did brought me so much joy. I'm sure your not gonna read this or maybe not care, but long story short don't stop what your doing cause you bring a lot of joy to a lot of peoples lives.
Hipyo or anyone wwho knows keyboard stuff I recently took apart my keyboard and cleaned the base plate in anticipation for my new switches to come in. once i put the new switches in and put my keycaps on all my keys with stabilizers stick when pushed? except the spacebar. pls help me fix this
Bruhh... This video makes me super sad. Allow me to explain...
Some years ago, I spent my fair share of time getting more than passively acquainted with the process of anodizing aluminum via the burgeoning renaissance of the modern small-run boutique yoyo scene, where precision machining to ungodly tight-spec'd tolerances, smooth beadblast finishing, and really cool dye patterns sealed by anodizing would no longer be considered next-generation accoutrements reserved for the likes prototypes and custom commissions, and instead rose to mainstay staples of today's practically booming industry. All this is thanks to the advent of metal as a sustainable build material, where above all else, aircraft-grade aluminum quickly overtook polycarbonate and acetal plastics as the builder's premier material of choice.
Now, all of my personal experience screams there is no way even a custom commissioned anodizing job should be ANYWHERE EVEN CLOSE to what they charged you for this! I'm talking like even the best boutique finishing house would have comfortably offered you better results and savings *well north of* $1,000! I know that yoyos are a lot smaller than a keyboard, but that really doesn't functionally change anything of the anodizing process, and because I'm fairly confident that the alloy used for this case is not some impossible to work with freak of nature, but instead one that I am quite familiar with that takes very well to anodizing, even chemical or mechanical stripping of a previously finished piece would be easy work for a decently abled shop.
These would be the ONLY reasons I could even fathom justifying such an incredible price hike. I mean, I'm sure it looks and feels great in person, and I'm truly and honestly glad dude looked really stoked on his new piece, but... Damn dude... I'm pretty sure it's not, but these kinds of practices make it look like this company is just lining its pockets on work that is at best just a step or two above basic. With margins like this, just a few commission jobs here and there should be plenty of revenue to kick back and coast on a while...
Now look, I know it might seem silly to be saying this *now,* but I really didn't set out to post this comment with the aim of talking down on anyone's business practices. I just hate to see anyone taken off for any amount of their hard-earned money, and I have endless sympathy for the consumer who finds themself in such a position. Hopefully I'm just missing something glaringly obvious here, but even if I am, it still seems just gluttonous to me for them to be charging that kind of coin from an honest consumer who makes a name for himself as a vested pillar of this scene's social sphere. Obviously they know this of you as well, so I really do hope that the company who shares stake in this same community wouldn't be so brazen as to collect *handsomely* and then just take off knowing full well you're hopping right on youtube showing their work and how much you had to pay for it.
Hoping for the best...
Agreed, the custom ano looks absolutely ass.
Bro I love your channel and i need a new keyboard could you make my custom keyboard.(i'll pay of course)
I blame you and Betty for giving me the keyboard bug :p I don't have hundreds of dollars to spend so I ended up with a Keychron K2V2 with hot-swappable brown switches (I'm a programmer, lots and lots of typing) that I stuffed with foam and tape modded because that's basically free :D And I love it! Putting some money aside to get a nice set of PBT keycaps, but here are sooooooo many to choose from, argh!
If you spend a lot of time on the computer, you spend a lot of time interacting, using, touching, and hearing your keyboard. May as well make it feel good, sound good, and look good aye?
these random sound effects throughout your video are infuriating as fuck.
Day 2 of asking Hipyo for a free keyboard!
I like 75% and tkl
i named my newborn child after you hipyo tech his name is "hipyo tech"
Can you build an amongus themed keyboard? It would be very funny and sussy
LOL
My sense of humor is broken
anyone who thinks the word sussy is funny is like 9
@@HipyoTech agreed
I can't do Cherry MX browns anymore! There has to be a better switch or switches out there, and I know there is! But then, Betty corrupted my ears with the Boba U4 switches....THEY WERE SILENT!!! I had to have them!
i love my bobas the sound makes me feel like im typing on marshmallows
Hes got the most basic keycaps I've seen in an expensive keyboard build and they are worth $550. They are literally just black and white wtf this hobby is wild.
worth 550 is a stretch.... more like they cost 550
they are not worth this. it's just what people pay for them. prices for limited edition caps are completely arbitrary. like for art.
@@unlink1649you've just described what worth is. What someone is willing to pay. Really, nothing is "worth" anything. Theres no reason gold should cost thousands of dollars per pound, It's all just what people are willing to pay. Everything is already arbitrary.
Cmon bro you gotta have more than 10 seconds of sound test at the end of the video
I just got roasted i am rocking the cyberpower pc lol
That's not what a sandwich mount is
I don't know how I found your channel, and I definitely have no budget for a keyboard right now, but I can't stop watching your videos. 10/10, you've piqued my interest
Does anyone know what lubes he used? Did he mention that in the video?
hey hipyo! do you think you would host a givaway anytime soon?
ive been using a laptop membrane keyboard this whole time and im getting my own mechanical keyboard in 1 week. already ordered it just gotta wait.
Congrats on the board! Hope it fits your needs.
im already into keebs but if i wasnt the explanation of why someone would want a custom would have me just as confused as before lmao
I don't get why people get pissed at clone keycaps just taking coloways, when there are expensive GMK keycap sets like this one that literally take artwork from other places?
The irony of "don't support people who steal art" and then "I bought this set where they basically stole art"
They robbed you.
1:14 it isn't that more people watching subscribed, it is that less people started watching
this was a joke btw xD
I just tried to get a KBD67 Lite.... sold out....😬
hey @Hipyo Tech, I think it would an awesome idea of a video to do a video on keyboards that help those with hand disabilities. I have a hooked middle finger and destroy my keycaps (wasd), having to get metal caps now.
seconded! would love to see some disability friendly boards that aren't just the regular split/ergo layouts
I like how I'm watching this channel whenever I'm trying to figure out how to take an old broken laptop I got for free and take the keyboard out of it cuz I can't buy my own for my PC
Yay I got a heart
I like the stock mode65 colors so much more lmao. Especially the polycarb case with the bronze front plate oof
I don’t care what anyone says but my first build is gonna be with hipyo switches :D
Yo hipyo, is there any site where you can design your own keycaps, like upload images for things like the escape and windows buttons? :D
Never thought I would see osu in a hippotech vid
It doesn't sound as good as I was expecting a 2k keyboard to sound. Lol I really like the custom design, though.
would anyone know what mousepad that is?
I’m the 670th comment and I saw the comment at 666
nice beginner board, mode 65 is ok. ive tried and dont like too much, boards like unikorn r2 and kc are much more worth money
Half way down the rabbit whole on this, custom keyboard stuff. I kinda see no end... But hey great videos, Im gonig to continue to confuse myself! K thanks !
Why is there a bruhs in the vid???
Still don't know why all of these keyboards, even ones that cost a much as a used Corolla, are SO DAMN SMALL...
A custom keyboard is so cringe! Its not gonna make you better at any game lol
tru, but its cool asf and i like it, mine is $130, it has both Gateron yellow's and cherry mx speed silvers.
Just ordered my first custom keyboard today, in a few years time I'll probably indebt with college loans and 2 digits in my bank account ;-;
I need to stop watching this videos before I buy a keyboard worth as much as my car
I'm an FPS gamer, I can play just the same on my old Corsair K100 w/MX Browns as I do on my $600 Custom w/Holy Pandas. Frankly all that lube slows down the keys .It's all in the Mouse for input in addition to your PC and Monitor.
very true! i feel very slow on lubed switches..
Even IF I had the disposable income to buy a $2000+ keyboard, I most likely would not. I would buy the parts and build something. And yeah, there is a possibility that I might spend more because I'd try a bunch of different switches and key caps. But at least half the fun would be doing it myself.
I think I've become 'infected', and Hipyo, it's all Your Fault. 😜
Only $300-$2000... Plastic is never premium materials, its plastic... The lies we will tell ourselves... This hobby is ruined by the companies greed alone. Nothing will convince me they are not just blatantly ripping people off. Stinks because they sound great, but they can keep the hobby at that cost. At the end of the day its a dang keyboard that will wear out/break over time. Seeing its all rubber gaskets and plastic and foam confirms my biggest fear, this whole keyboard thing is just a giant scam. ALL my friend agree they sound awesome and look cool but once you show the price they laugh and say for a piece of plastic. Tired of greed ruining eveything. 😒 Who can actually afford this nonsense? On top all that we have to wait months/years because they are afraid they will lose money at those insane costs...Get outta here, they are just ripping people off and not willing to take any risk and put it all on the customers?.. Please stop promoting these business that is some super shady business practice! Great videos, just unrealistic concepts for majority of us
2:40 - Tell me about it. That board is junk.....but its got a number pad. So many choices in 60%. Not so much when you want the whole board layout. I got a TKL. But don't use it. I instead use this $10 board I got on Amazon with no brand name on it. Just a picture of a jaguar. It weighs like an ounce and the LEDs in it kinda burn my leg. The font is missing on a bunch of the keys already and it feels like typing on a piece of bread. But it has a full layout. num pad and arrows/home have their own little section away from the other keys. Thats where I live at. Have you seen her?? Has anyone found a full metal full layout custom case that looks as good as these 60% cases?
Can you tell me the most silent speed switches out there? I do a lot of FPS Gaming, but my wife sits right behind me all day, and she hates my current gaming keyboard. PLEASE help me save my marriage. You're my only hope.
2:17. Fuuuck. I’m developing a taste now. Nooo. I didn’t want this. I didn’t want a new hobby. But, damn. Pastels nd shit. Heavy, matte keys. Honestly, if that was like a cool grey…no. I’m a musician. I should be doing this with synths….
Build me one my keyboard sucks 🍑
I wish I could play keyboard apex on console but that doesn't seem to be the case with apex. BUT YOU CAN PLAY CONTROLLER ON PC AND KEYBOARD?
Reasons (personal) to not get a custom keyboard
1) don't really like the looks (personally)
2) chonky as hell
3) still far more expensive then most keyboards
I personally use a roccat Vulcan amino 121 pro, it's keycaps are thin, it has a brushed aluminum top and the lighting and feels are just to my liking, not to much RGB, not too little, it was expensive but to this day it hold no problem, since I got it I cannot look at other normal keyboards and not see chonk, but custom keyboards? They are ultra chonk to me
coming from the balisong community, $1500 for that anodization is just an unbelievable rip off. Like don't get me wrong, it looks sick, but it's just such an extremely basic implementation of anodization it should not have cost that much.
One of the reasons i personally love buying custom keyboards is you can personalise it in the way that fits you
That's some fucking EXPENSIVE anodization. What made it so absurdly expensive?
Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate LOVED the abraille comment where he said I just lost NNN, where are the magic words tho? alright magic word from now on is Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate
Hey Hipyo. Am watching you for a long time because I like keyboards a lot but am from 2008 so Am pretty young but I have a keyboard now a Qware Houston and I want to buy macha latte lubed switches. Do you think I should buy them?
Cablemod made my power cables for my pc, ATX power and the GPU power cable. Beautiful stuff!
Any idiot can be a pro gamer with 100+mbps internet speeds. Name 1 pro gamer with standard, and throttled, Comcast internet... Go On I'll Wait!!!
here i am with my k65 with speed silvers laughing because I spent 21X LESS money to have identical performance to this insanely unreasonable build lol.
2:17 I love the IFK Comfy Keycaps. I've been looking and can't seem to find them. Are there any that are just like that?
"BRUH" yay so funny lol memes. Nice build though but omg the comedy....
I don't agree with you in the sense of why custom.
For one I enjoy that aggressive sound
2. I really don't give any care about custom key caps or the keyboards look it's all about how the keyboard preforms for me
Now if the reasons where for performance then sure but no point spending 300 extra dollars for asthetics
Hey, can you suggest me the most premium 65 keyboard that supports wireless connectivity(bluetooth)
okay there is a lot in this video i completely disagree with, just because you paid a certain price for something doesnt mean you can change the total of what you paid for it to appeal more expensive, 2 gmk absolutely does not hold their value because they shine pretty bad after a certain time of usage, especially if you are a gamer its going to look like you had kfc all over your board, which is why you get pbt, something like crp keycaps because those done shine and they actually are good quality and not for some insane after market price. Switches does not change the sound of "thock" first of all thock is a stupid term, abused and ruined by people who went crazy with PE foam, the term thock is achieved by putting something like SA profile keycaps on your keyboard, or just a topre board, the keyboard that the guy previously owned works just fine, each keyboard has the exact same function, getting a new keyboard is for people who want something luxurious and expensive on their desk, they all do the same thing no matter the look, heft, or price. oh yeah and speed switches/shorter travel switches are not that speedy, its 1mm in terms of difference from a normal stem and a long pole stem so it really wont help you out, I know that Hipyo went over 1 or 2 of these points but i thought id spread the word for some of you that wanted another point of view.
Why 75% doesn't get much love like 65% or 60%? I though 75% was the best middle ground between compactness and functionality
Hey hipyo! I want to build a custom board but I don't know which keyboards are interchangeable. Could you send me in the right direction? I want a 60 percent for a very affordable price
wasting 80- 100 times money just for noise and typing feeling ? no thanks i will just stick with membrane ... rather spend on GPU and CPU
"So this is a cheap keyboard" - *Proceeds to smash the keys with fingers.*
"And this is a modded keyboard" - *Touches each key with the lightness of a cigarette paper.
I feel like I’m the only one who likes clicky keyboards 😢
I do
I never ask this and this js half a joke can you make me a under 100 dollar keyboard 65 perscent with lubed stabalizers and swithches, the switches can be any switch that sounds thoccy and mushy for some reason i like those, youvare probably not going to answer back sooo yeah
I feel like this is a complete rip off, $1000 for anodisation and a lighting design? This hobby is so overinflated and waiting times are just not acceptable.
When soldering, a good fume extractor will help with it bothering your nose. If you can smell the soldering, you are probably inhaling toxic flux fumes!
Yea I went completely nutz…now at least 15 mechanical keyboards deep and running out of space so I started gifting them to friends and co-workers…even sold a few
PC = Rectangle
Monitor = Rectangle
Mouse = Kinda Ractangle
Mouse Pad = Sometimes Rectangle
Desk = Rectangle
Eyo I have a question, I am a new guy to this very expensive hobby, and I ordered a custom keyboard m, it's a KBD67 Lite R3 with EverGlide Aqua Kings V3 and KBDFans switche pads , Soo I just ordered it randomly and I wanna know if it's gonna be good or not...
I mean, it’s a decent entry/budget build.
Not me crying because I want a thocky gaming keyboard. But I have zero clue where to go and start. Im just trying my best on figuring out the freaking vocabulary.
