Yes please, to the capybara keyboard! Capybaras are actually how I got sucked in to this hobby. My spouse innocently bought me a set of capybara keycaps as a gift because they looked cute, thinking I would just replace the keycaps on my keyboard. He was so wrong. The great thing about this hobby is how customizable things are, but the bad thing is also how customizable things are because the huge numbers of choices and combos possible can be overwhelming. It's fun figuring out how to get to where I want my keyboard though. TL; DR, YES TO CAPYBARA KEYBOARD, PLEASE.
This is quite common. You should have gotten a keyboard with South-facing leds. Cthulhu doesn't not approve of North-facing, three-pin pcbs. Better luck next time
well building might be more expensive if u want the known brand parts... but for me its just the FUN OF BUILDING, buying a prebuild which can have a very nice sound etc but its still moddable... anyhow... building or completely overhauling a cheap hotswap amazon keyboard is just fun ;D
i literally built 4 luck65s(Sugar65v2) in the past two weeks as people have been requesting them for commissions. IT SOUNDED SO GOOD FOR SO CHEAP. Not VIA but the people who wanted it never really cared about it.
3:13 NO WAY CAPYBARA KEYCAPS 10/10 LIKED THE VIDEO Edit: I still don’t know how to build a keyboard no capybara keycaps ): 2nd edit: I figured out how I’m spending all my money on capybara keycaps
A good prebuilt can be satisfying forever... but it can also be a rabbit-hole into the ever-deepening cavern of ~preference~ I still enjoy the first prebuilt I got around 2015, but I also worked on like 5 other keyboards this weekend. I had fun - but yeah, it's good to be mindful of what you're getting into lol
A large part of the fun of keyboards for me is the "play with legos" part. Putting together the stuff I've personally picked before getting to use it is just *fun* for me. I also like tactiles and clickies. Just ordered a bag of box mute jades to not go insane with using normal box jades.
I'm a big fan of the stand-alone number pad, especially a wireless and/or bluetooth one. I can place it where I need it when I need it, and stash it in a drawer to save space when I don't.
Software, I feel is the dividing factor nowadays. It's much more difficult to replace just about any keyboard's software not equiped with VIA than mod a keyboard physically. So I just got a Keychron. You can mod the thing anyway.
Back in 2020 I bought my first mechanical keyboard on outemu blues... I did horrible in modding it, but for budget there were no options Nowadays I'm really happy that there are extremely cheap and reliable good options
The goat has made a Bridge75 vid!! I recently got mine in last week, and geez current state of keyboards is crazy compared to only a year ago. All I really added to it was some color accent keycaps and left most of the base caps on. I love mine and for 99$ for the +plus version you can’t go wrong. Highly recommended if you don’t have any metal case or are just looking to get a very nice board at the price point.
I don't get why the most popular switch type in the hobby are linear switches right now. The first mechanical keyboard I used had linear switches (redragon oem board with outemu reds) and I absolutely hated how many times I accidentally actuated the keys and didn't get any feedback about pressing them. So when I moved to custom keyboards I first tried various tactiles before taking the leap of faith towards clickbar clickies even though everyone seems to hate clickies. Box Jades have become my favourite switches (navies too heavy though).
Yea I was a little disappointed in the review. I have it... it's my first custom (pre-built) but I was really interested in his take on it. I love it but I was curious what critiques he had about it.
@@kenrtxhe probably didn't get this Bridge from Sponsorship but he bought it on his own - that's why. I've heard about it from other youtuber that' said that Shortcut Studio is not so easy going about sending their board to youtubers. And so this guy is biased and it shows.

As the intended viewer looking to dip a toe into getting or building a neat budget keyboard the one thing I wish is that you would explain some of these acronyms more. Like you said four different acronyms for key cap material types and it would be nice to have what those acronyms stand for on screen real quick or something. Because I've watched a bunch of videos now and I still have no idea what any of these letters actually means, though I'm starting to expect them in that order. XD
Other than the case, on prebuilts. You can choose your switches, keycaps, and foam or no foam customizing your sound and feel. Essentially everything but the case. As you know. So it basically boils down to budget and also like you said, if you want the personal satisfaction of building it from the case up.
@@Peter-bc7ei I ordered the keyboard on 07/29/24 and it shipped 08/2/24. The keyboard was packed in 3 boxes!! A large divinikey box, then a smaller brown box, then the Bridge75 decorated box. Inside the box the keyboard was packed in foam and seal. It was in perfect condition.
Build, 100%. But I would say that even if it was 3x more expensive for no benefit. The draw for me is the building and customization. I'm the target audience for any content that starts with DIY. But even for me, there is a strong argument for a solid pre-built that's hot swap. If I love it, great. If not I can mod it. It's really a good time to be into custom, modding, etc... in the PC space. Tons of options for every possible part of your build.
My opinion on it is buying a prebuilt and customising it is the more sensible option as it's arguably better value. But the more fun option is to cherry pick the parts you want and built one from the ground up YOUR way.
As Lucky65 owner, I don't recommend buying it if you want to use it for competitive gaming since the delay are noticeable even on wired. 20ms on wired like what the hell.... But if you using it for casual gaming, working, or typing only. Definitely worth it and recommended
I got a chilkey ND75 some weeks ago and I'm kinda sad that there's no keycap puller, like it's my first *real* keyboard so I really wanted one and also the wireless on/off switch is underneath the shift key and I don't like how I have to roughly pull out the keycap every time I want to put my keyboard on wireless mode (and also bruh, there's a reason I bought a hot swappable keyboard for my first custom one, I want to be able to swap out the keycaps and the switches)
You can also build something pretty nice for like 40$ if you go full on scrapyard wars style. Little strat, there can be fully built hotswap keyboards that are cheaper than the barebones, so you buy that, take out the switches and keycaps and you have a keyboard for cheaper. For full switch ratings i recommend the ermin goat, he makes very in depth reviews of everything, but a good choice is gateron g pro 3.0 yellow or silver or some ktt kang whites or strawberries. For keycaps just pick any pbt set. Then go to Home Depot and get some foam. And that is a pretty nice ~50$ keyboard. P.S. Get some cheap lube for stabs. P.S.S. If you want tactile then get Holy pandas or MX purple if that fits in budget.
I bought a keychron C3 pro on sale on Amazon to see what the whole "keyboard" thing was about. I am afraid to go deeper, because this was such an improvement lol
The HMX Sillyworks V2 (you showed the V2U version of that switch, which I haven’t tried) is my absolute favorite linear switch. I’ve tried a few HMX switches, and they’re all fantastic. Worth the extra money!
Great advice as always, Hipyo. I used to be mkb crazy, bought the pound grab bag, tried bajillion profiles, debated who cloned what, hanged out at Drop before it became Drop (even went to their HQ when they used to host MKB meets) but after a while, it's like, why? You can get "decent" thock from prebuilds. So nowadays, I just use keyboards I ordered straight off Amazon with a couple custom keycaps. Probably not as "thock" as I *could* be, but it's a lot more thock by effort spent. :)
Idk how u got away with throwing that shade to a sponsor xD but i really appreciated it I do like Alli Express, when they arnt dtrwaming work. Id rather by stright from the manufacturer than a possible drop shipper
The Bride75 feels more premium than Rainy75 and is almost tied with the RD75. Both keyboard I mentioned are just way better than the Rainy because they have what Rainy doesn’t have. But Rainy would still be in the top 5 spots while these ones are number 1 and 2 respectively.
@@Namu4Life Thanks for answer, I own rainy 75 and now thinking of switching to bridge, could you please tell me about typing feel/gasket performance? I feel like rainy75 pro is quite stiff, and has no much gasket performance, but what about bridge?
@@vladyslavdezhniuk7080 you might want to check out lewis toh’s review on the bride75. Your answer may be answered in that video. Also, check out his two recently made videos for the top 5 budget keyboards + RD75. He scored 10/10 for the Bride75 and 8/10 for the Rainy75. As for the RD75, he only mentioned one con for that.
I built my current keyboard for about $80, aluminum and including switches and keycaps, but it was on sale for way cheaper than normal. I think a lot of it depends on what parts are on sale... if you can get a good deal on a prebuilt or a good deal on a barebones.
Building a keeb is better simply because you can get EXACTLY what you want. Most prebuilts come good enough to get most of us by until we want to change the switches and/or key caps, maybe even experiment with some mods
Hahaha, I'm half way through building my first custom board from AliExpress. My keycaps and switches have already shipped, I'm just waiting for another sale to start in about an hour's time so I can pick up an M1W v3 for about $15 cheaper than if I was to buy it right now. Yes, you *could* go prebuilt, but where's the fun in that? I wanna say I've built this thing.
I just built a second KB with the Zuoya GMK 87 with Stab tuning + Lubing, the Tape mod with the Akko V3 Piano pro switches, and I finally found that Deep rumbling thocc sound signature I've been looking for.
Hipyo love your videos, have you ever used keycaps gasket rings? Thank you so much for all your information you pass along to all of your viewers. Always fun and playful.
I am one who got the Lucky65 and it was DOA. I had to fight for a week or two with lots of videos and pictures but in the end I got my money back. I also didn't like the keyboard very much, it was super mushy around the edges.
I think magnetic keyboards are now a must-have peripheral for FPS games. If I were to make a keyboard, I would buy a Chinese magnetic PCB（way better than wooting) and use the upcoming Gateron switches. I believe this would provide an excellent experience.
Genuine question. How long does a keyboard typically stay thoccy after lubing? Mine has gone from thoccy to clacky just like before. I imagine a better quality lube would help but don’t want to spend that much money until I know for sure it will have a lasting effect.
I built my first custom keyboard ((Zoom98) in February. The keyboard turned out very nice. My biggest frustration with it was the 4 month wait after I ordered it last October on a group buy. Not sure I want to deal with that again.
I have gotten to the point where it is more like shoe collecting. The budget to mid-boards are so good stock I will swap out the caps for a custom look but I have not had to switch out foam and unless I was getting a base kit stock switches are damn good. I get the aesthetic I like and boom on the wall it goes.
Build your own keyboard is fun until you need keycaps with 2 languages which are very rare to find - unless I did not look properly. So at the end you will have to go to prebuild.
Can you try out the Pwnage ZenBlade 65? It's a hall effect 65% that bridges the gap between custom and performance, it's faster than the Wooting 60HE as well, I got one and it's absolutely fantastic, I just feel like it doesn't have the recognition that it deserves.
As a competitive gamer, Wooting for sure. Never knew how much input lag my old keyboards had until I got my Wooting. I pre-ordered the 80% one and then realized I didn't want to wait that long for it to ship so bought a second one (The 60he) and have 0 regrets on spending the extra money. Best keyboard I've ever used and gaming companies such as Razer and Logitech are now trying to compete with them but still not quite on their level. It's over your budget but I honesty can't express how much this keyboard is worth it
@@RixEditsmight have been the first batch? They are usually in stock now and will ship same day - I got mine in 3-4 days. I like it so much I just bought another one yesterday. No issue and as much as I hate t admit, sounds just as good straight out of the box compared to my $400+ builds
If you want tactile or a heavier linear you don't have many options with the new Prebuilts, there new Epomaker P75 has some nice tactile as does the Yunzii and Lemokey though. It's definitely getting difficult to recommend a build for people who just want a keyboard. That being said though while I have most of these new 75% board I used my QK75n with Nixies and GMK most of the time, except for the Halo 75 which for some reason keeps pulling me back in. Great video, hopefully it will make people consider their options!
Wait, so I'm a bit confused. How is the Bridge 75 compared to the Womier RD75? From what it looks like their price is pretty much the same (B75 Plus vs RD75 Pro). EDIT: I didn't take the discount code into account. Now the B75 is about 25$ cheaper. You mentioned the the RD75 does do somethings better, so is it worth the extra cash? It's such a shame that neither model comes in that beautiful blue gasket.
do you have a reccomendation for a tkl board with a volume knob? ive thought to my self maby taking the montech one and just make it completly custom. because i like also those feets at the back where you can adjust the height. the only one that ive found so far, only by the frame, is the mathew MK86 kit.
I know most of the basics now and recently getting more into low profile keyboard for work which includes lots of typing.. can you make a video explaining low profile switches

Do stabilizers come with the switches or case?
I think magnetic keyboards are now a must-have peripheral for FPS games. If I were to make a keyboard, I would buy a Chinese magnetic PCB（way better than wooting) and use the upcoming Gateron switches. I believe this would provide an excellent experience.
Genuine question. How long does a keyboard typically stay thoccy after lubing? Mine has gone from thoccy to clacky just like before. I imagine a better quality lube would help but don’t want to spend that much money until I know for sure it will have a lasting effect.
Damn, didn't think I'd see you defend clones of colours but not designs.
Just that alone may push me deeper into the hobby.
I built out a keyboard with your help tks❤
Nice vid mate
I built my first custom keyboard ((Zoom98) in February. The keyboard turned out very nice. My biggest frustration with it was the 4 month wait after I ordered it last October on a group buy. Not sure I want to deal with that again.
You should try out the Ajazz Ak820. It's a 75% layout keyboard with a scroll button for $45 and that's CHEAP
so a slightly better & cheaper way to find your preference, you can buy Keyboard switch Test Kits that have switches of multiple types
I have gotten to the point where it is more like shoe collecting. The budget to mid-boards are so good stock I will swap out the caps for a custom look but I have not had to switch out foam and unless I was getting a base kit stock switches are damn good. I get the aesthetic I like and boom on the wall it goes.
Hey hipyo. Can you make a review about the monokei standard keyboard?
Does the bridge 75 got flex cuts?
Flex cuts are the only thing that I'm scared of from all of your vids on these 100$ keebs
Yes on the + variant. No at the basic and HE variant. And oh, for additional information, just google Bridge75, it has its own website.

Build your own keyboard is fun until you need keycaps with 2 languages which are very rare to find - unless I did not look properly. So at the end you will have to go to prebuild.
Can you try out the Pwnage ZenBlade 65? It's a hall effect 65% that bridges the gap between custom and performance, it's faster than the Wooting 60HE as well, I got one and it's absolutely fantastic, I just feel like it doesn't have the recognition that it deserves.
Can't wait for the iso-fr layouts to trend...

Hi hipyo, i need the best keyboard for under 120 bucks, i am a gamer so i need it very responsive and suggestions?

As a competitive gamer, Wooting for sure. Never knew how much input lag my old keyboards had until I got my Wooting. I pre-ordered the 80% one and then realized I didn't want to wait that long for it to ship so bought a second one (The 60he) and have 0 regrets on spending the extra money. Best keyboard I've ever used and gaming companies such as Razer and Logitech are now trying to compete with them but still not quite on their level. It's over your budget but I honesty can't express how much this keyboard is worth it
@@Thoccck hey, i like the look of it but the issue i have is the complaints.Lots of people have said it doesnt work or has been delievered late
@@RixEditsmight have been the first batch? They are usually in stock now and will ship same day - I got mine in 3-4 days. I like it so much I just bought another one yesterday. No issue and as much as I hate t admit, sounds just as good straight out of the box compared to my $400+ builds
If you want tactile or a heavier linear you don't have many options with the new Prebuilts, there new Epomaker P75 has some nice tactile as does the Yunzii and Lemokey though. It's definitely getting difficult to recommend a build for people who just want a keyboard. That being said though while I have most of these new 75% board I used my QK75n with Nixies and GMK most of the time, except for the Halo 75 which for some reason keeps pulling me back in. Great video, hopefully it will make people consider their options!
How does the Bridge75 compare to the Rainy75? Which one is more worth it?
Wait, so I'm a bit confused. How is the Bridge 75 compared to the Womier RD75? From what it looks like their price is pretty much the same (B75 Plus vs RD75 Pro). EDIT: I didn't take the discount code into account. Now the B75 is about 25$ cheaper. You mentioned the the RD75 does do somethings better, so is it worth the extra cash?
It's such a shame that neither model comes in that beautiful blue gasket.
Could you do a Video on Iso or Iso-De Layouts. Its really hard to find good keycaps with that layout.
do you have a reccomendation for a tkl board with a volume knob? ive thought to my self maby taking the montech one and just make it completly custom. because i like also those feets at the back where you can adjust the height. the only one that ive found so far, only by the frame, is the mathew MK86 kit.
Budget is like 100$ with hipyo, just get Aula F75 and you're fine.
I know most of the basics now and recently getting more into low profile keyboard for work which includes lots of typing.. can you make a video explaining low profile switches
Hey hippyo. Have you done any videos that highlight only 80% keyboards? Lile a best of style video
