Update: I mention in the video that this board has dampening foam. I originally said this as the material I found online about it mentioned dampening foam. The amount of foam in it is rather insignificant, and not worth being a talking point for the keyboard. Sorry for the confusion, in the future I'll tear down a board first! instagram.com/p/CGvlQmHn-Z5/
yo! there is now a version with hotswap! (you can get the black version with hotswap browns and the white version with hotswap reds) NOTE: it only supports 3-pin switches, but from what i've heard it works perfectly fine with switches from cherry, kailh, gateron, etc. (unlike outemu sockets which only fit switches with super small pins)
I hate Keyboard videos! Don't get me wrong, i love them, but i have a list of things i wanna buy and it currently has 11 thing on there, 6 of the things being either a keyboard or accesoires for keyboards. love your videos!
Nice and relaxing video mate! Has such a calm and chill vibe to it. Also the keeb looks pretty nice, just wish it was a bit more compact to it could be used for traveling.
@@HipyoTech to be honest I looked at your channel and I really enjoyed just watching you build custom keyboards. There’s is t anything specific, but I guess more videos like this one going through budget friendly keyboard for people like me who can’t afford to build an expensive one 😁
@@pizzatime8440 Thank you so much for the feedback! I have some good news in that I'll be doing many more videos like this in the future!! I want to help people get into the hobby on a budget without spending hundreds!
@@xCombixGirlx I am really happy with the result, especially because of the Akoo switches. The switches that come with it are solid too, and the stabs don't rattle too much.
Howdy I just opened it up on instagram, to my surprise, the "dampening foam" is like one tiny bit between the plate and PCB instagram.com/p/CGvlQmHn-Z5/
A year late but just bought this keyboard Hotswap version on Amazon prime day it was the same price as the non Hotswap version got browns the reds were not on sale frist mechanical keyboard like it so far good review of the keyboard but now there is software for messing around with the rgb and to set up macros.
Is the backlight really that dim or is it just because of the default key caps? Planning on buying this keyboard since the lam-ang pro is currently almost nonexistent in stores and pairing it with pudding key caps for the nice lighting.
The lights are a bit brighter than the video shows as my studio lights overpower them a bit. But they are on the dimmer side compared to something like the Gamakay K87 (see my other vid for that) I think puddings would still look good on it tho!
i just got this keyboard yesterday i bought it for around 70 euros(around 79 dollars) and it's really good for its money in my opinion the best option for switches are blacks, they have such a nice feel to them and they aren't too heavy but it might be because i generally like heavier switches if you prefer lighter switches you should get the reds the only reason i don't suggest getting the browns is because linears are just better than tactiles to sum up this is really good keyboard if you dont want to spend a ton of money + you can always mod it
LMAO the hippo is so sad, it shamed into subbing a few videos back. Anyways I think this board is perfect to try out lubing soldered switches without unsoldering them. You can use the super lube technique or spray lube them! Look up wildcat spray lubing on youtube and here's the other super lube technique th-cam.com/video/kXRIjPwXYA0/w-d-xo.html (skip to 4:00 onward and put it in 1.5x). I thinkt his would be a really cool project for the channel, The superlube spray lube (7$) and the www.amazon.com/dp/B000BXOGHY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_G8KvEbYD4767P?th=1 droplet lube is only 5$. Love the videos.
how do i check the battery percentage of my keyboard? Because i will be using this for college to connect to my ipad (wireless) and to my pc (wired ofc)

Liking the content, it’s also giving me the :3ildcat vibe
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
You can use the rakk lam ang pro software as they are basically the same
On the contrary, the color fits the video's mood. :D
Thank you!!! Spent too many hours trying to color grade to save the footage

Check out my Review on the sk61 if you haven't already, it would be perfect for that!
I was waiting for “hi my name is hipyo tech” 😔
This was actually really helpful! You just earned yourself a sub and a fan 😄
I'm really glad you found it helpful! What types of videos would you like to see in the future?

Hotswap version is available now
Nice vid. Love it!
Thank you so much! Stay tuned for more!
Amazing video, thanks from Turkey
There actually is a Hot swap version now, bought it yesterday and I'm gonna swap the switches for some jelly pinks from Akko.
How's it working out? I just picked one up myself
@@xCombixGirlx I am really happy with the result, especially because of the Akoo switches. The switches that come with it are solid too, and the stabs don't rattle too much.
Was hoping this keyboard was hotswap like the rakk lam ang pro. It has hotswap options with outemu or kailh sockets. great review tho!
wait so it is only hotswappable with a certain brand of switches only? like redragon boards?
Also I like the floating keyboard method lol
Thanks hahaha 😘
Really good review, i'd love to see the inside of the keyboard :D
Thanks! I think I'll take it apart for a future video or as a short clip on my Instagram!

@@HipyoTech Thanks for the update!
i bought it for the same price with hotswap reds for the same price and they have fixed the backlight issue
Really good review, what’s the website you used for typing test? Subscribed :)
Thanks for the sub its typetest.io
Is it better red or black switches?
best faken keyboard in da wooorld babe!
Niceeee I like it bruh
Should I buy this keyboard for gaming and typing? Is it worth it? What about the switches? Stabs? Keycaps?

I bet lubing the switches will make it sound better
I totally agree! I might revisit it in a future video 😏
@@HipyoTech Can you do it? I want to hear the sound test
They actually have a software but great video
they added hotswap reds, but i'm not sure if they cheaped out on opticals
Is this keyboard hotswap?
just bought this keyboard and when i use it wired the backlight just doesnt go on?, anyone know how to fix this issue?
How about modding this keyboard?

Was there any hollow ping noise?

This is mega releaxing on weed.
Great to hear my guy ☕🤠
Can someone explain to me what’s black switch, blue switch , brown switch and red switch I don’t understand
is it also wired?
According to the amazon listing, the keyboard has PBT keycaps, not ABS as you said in the video.
:/
good vid
Thank you!🦛
subbed to feed the turtle. :)
Could you review the fuhlen m87s
Where did you get the wooden hippo from?
I'm not too sure tbh it was a gift from a family member
I'm a little late but can this keyboard work with a laptop?
Yes!
@@HipyoTech thanks for the help I think I'm going to get it!
Bro you are like the less popular version of wildcat
Hahaha true 😭🦛
Lol this just got recommended to me
Outemu switches?
huano maybe
On Amazon it says otemu btw
are the ones on aliexpress at 54$ legit?
Not sure tbh
On Amazon Germany the epomaker version is 67,99€ for soldered red but the ajazz hotswap red is 89,99€

Too bad it isn’t hotswap 😕
Right!!?? If it was hotswap it would be the best board under $60
Hipyo Tech well that was the keyboard I found in my store and it isnt hotswap
@@pixeiatedsan5609 You’re saying this keyboard is hotswap? Or not hotswap?
takoyakeys not hot swap but I have the keychron k8 which my unit is hot swap
@@pixeiatedsan5609 Keychron is a good brand! Great choice 👍
ez sub
are you american?
I am!
