Haven't listened to it yet but I think it will be great
wake up is definitely my favorite song you’ve released so far it’s really freaking catchy
YOUR NEW SONG IS REALLY GOOD. Already listened to it on repeat and almost memoried the lyrics ha ha
what if you filled it with paper instead? I want top do a mod to my gk64x but I don't have anything besides post it notes
What if you used bubble wrap?
I see cheating is normal in these challenges now
Yes
"fair" cheating
@@HipyoTech omg hi
@@bjboomer "fair"
With your budget, that wasn't even cheating. I think you did as well as could be expected.
Acquired new skill: Fair Cheating
F A I R
I am me
@@me-wu9xu yes
I am me?
@@HipyoTech MMMMMMM
“fair”
I love how hes slamming the keys during the before test but delicately pressing the keys during the after test. the best B&A testing I've ever seen.
lol
Howdy hey. I saw some of the other contestant vids and I did not hear any rule about a working keyboard. You did great on the challenge. You are the budget champ (I mean it in a respectful way)!
Ty Nicolas very cool
@@HipyoTech ima get some new switches which ones do u recommend, Ik everyone has there own preference but I need to start of with something that’s budget but also decent.
@@Charduza i recommend jwk jwick blacks, they're very cheap (22 cents per switch on divinikey), they sound and feel great stock and even better lubed
Wouldn't it also be allowed to solder these two switches maybe with wires to the contacts of the PCB?
@@Charduza the KTT roses are a great budget linear recommended by a lot of people who like a solid linear switch. They are in my keyboard and they sound pretty nice after some modding. TTC Gold Pink are also a good budget linear switch for those who like a VERY light switch without wanting low profiles. and trust me, they are very light
For a cheap filler in the bottom of the case, I've started to use melted parrafin candle wax. Use silicone caulking to fill any holes that would leak since melted wax is fluid like water. Melted wax won't hurt the plastic case. Plus, It only costs me $2 per keyboard! I found $5 one pound blocks at my local hobby store. It's non-conductive, non-toxic, and reusable. It can be remelted and poured over and over again.
How does it affect the sound ?
Or you could use o-rings
how about fill the whole thing straight with silicone caulking?
isn’t paraffin flammable tho
@@simplefellow86 Parrafin Wax is combustible, not flammable. So unless you're actively trying to set your keyboard on fire it shouldn't be a problem.
“Ignore the white powder on the table, don’t look at that” LMAO
Climbing chalk
@@lawrencetchen nonono it’s special sugar
LOL very tru.
"Also I'm amped up on caffeine, right now... that's... why I'm amped up right now..."
Bro I think we can recognize a fellow ADHD person who has found the perfect antidote.
Hipyo I'm still waiting for that amongus keyboard 🤨
No
@@HipyoTechwhy
@@HipyoTech we all need the amongus keyboard in our lives:(
I wish I knew about this fair cheating. I actually like how your keyboard looks a lot more! Haha but I loled when I saw you sitting next to the humidifier... I don't know why. I have a problem... Shouldn't have eaten that glue
Just an idea for a future competition if you decide to do one!
You all start with the same keyboard, but there is no budget limit. Instead, the votes you get for your modded keyboard are a ratio of how much you spent, so you need to find a balance between being good but not spending too much
"i can already see Keybored doing some weird crazy idea to gasket mount"
Keybored: so heres my bakeneko o-rings
SERIOUSLY HES NUTS
*I *here's
*he's
Other TH-camrs : switch pop out
Hipyo tech : 🗿
Crazy that these key caps look better than razer’s pudding keycaps
razer dont have puddings lol
@@Anon119 razer “phantom” keycaps. I’m using them rn and they feel like molded nerf gun plastic
“This board comes with red switches that are very… red”
Hey hipyo!! Just wanted to say I absolutely love your new song!! Listened to it on repeat all of yesterday and it's definitely one of my favorite songs in recent months. Keep up the great work!!
"Why are you giving it a thumbs up? It wasn't that good." Should have bag lubed the pizza. smh
Yay!! You should do more big budget challenges and builds
HipyoBigBrain
Loving these budget challenges, keep it up!
$20 budget omegalul
but the keycap secret sauce though
I'm fully enjoying the content you make! I've learned a ton and even bought my first keyboard!
How about a competition where you only where you only are allowed to use parts that fans sent you for free.
Dude you actually managed to make it sound pretty thocky and clean! Well, except for the spacebar. That thing was scratchy AF - still great job dude!
I find myself watching your videos mainly for the incredible content , the fact that they're helpful is the icing 🤣
Food is free as everyone knows, like everthing you already own
Liked, subbed, turned on all notifs. You're the man, thanks yet again for some awesome content!
When the cash is low you gotta amp up the crazy ideas, well done pushing the limits. Great effort
Missed opportunity for "hipNO tech" there at the end hahaha. Great vid as always!
My first hipyo tech live stream let’s go!! Great vid!!
Loud shout whispering was perfect impression of Betty. Lol. Love her channel.
Ahhhh I see, you're the glarses of this challenge
You can just solder the hot swap socket back to the pads, btw. Esc key will work fine after that.
I am unreasonably mad that hipyo didn't use the PE foam that was already in the box
Too boring hahaha
The "ooohooihhh yeahhhhhh" breaks me everytime 😂
Btws... NEW SONG IS FIREEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The pudding caps have grown on me, since the ambient lighting helps much more to keep track of where the hand on the keyboard is than a single key being legible.
The Betty shout-whisper impression was spot on.
she ABSOLUTELY "shout-whispers" all the time! lol hilarious
All those vids of Hipyo telling us to support the sockets from the back and then he shows us what happens when you don't. 🤣
Hipyo: Ignore the white powder on the table, don't look at that.
Me: Hmmmmmm???
I just listens to your song and I can’t believe that that’s the guy that says howdy hay?!?! Good job man!!
4:18 the occosianal audible spring bounce are an absolute god sent audio
Oh you should definitely do a challenge where you have to make a $100-150 keyboard but you only allowed to use clicky switches cuz... CLICKY GANG!
You can actually fix when a pad falls off by scratching that part of the PCB until you see the copper wire and soldering it on.
NOOOOO. IT SOUNDED SO GOOD THOUGH
i love how in EVERY video he does something that we SHOULDN'T DO I ANY WAY lol.
Is this another keyboard challenge I see Lewis Toh’s video
wait wait wait wait , what do you mean cheating ? This is called a TAcTiCaL aDVaNTagE.
looking forward to it
Bro hipyo, I’ve been getting into ergo mecha builds lately and wonder if you will ever do any? Idk why but split ergo keebs and ergo in general are so appealing to me
switch and click can be the only person in the world who can scream and whisper at the same time
3:40 as a professional british man myself, we say pudding *FAR* more than "dessert".
Why did I think he was gonna use lint in the dust trap of that fan for dampening 😂
Hey hippio I like the idea of you were to collect all your previous keyboards that you don’t use any more and partner with a company to sell all of them as a charity event.
You made a keyboard out of $20 and it somehow still looks better than my keyboard
the betty impersonation was the best part of the video
7:37 I love this lol
I appreciate your effort on it that you tried to do your best nevertheless!
I was watching the part where he was using the press and seal, and then a duct tape ad came up out of no where
hipyo cheating is giving Linus bending the rules in scrapyard wars
ok this is epic
1:30 bro am i the only one who absolutely loved the sound of the "bad one" better then the "fantastic one".
When Hipyo is doing voiceover he sounds like the Oversimplified history channel.
I’m excited!!!!!
Yaaah, a stoopid premiere!
Why is it even a premier ;-;
I was actually looking at buying the wormier K61% keyboard off of amazon to get into keyboard modding. Good to see some cheap mods out there.
This video makes me want to see a 'scavenge only'/'repurpose only' video ..
Edit for clarifiction: The purpose of the challenge would be to only use materials from other applications, and no purpose-meant stuff. (I wonder if WD-40 is still bad if you use it in the bag?)
I was gonna say that carbon touching a pcb with contacts/traces on it (for the parts that don't have solder mask obviously) is not a good idea because it's a conductor but I guess the press n' seal kinda counteracts that? Haha
shouts out to the hot-swappable hotswap socket
Oh wow your song is really good
I just bought a new keyboard, it was the "Keychron C1". I wanted to mod it to make it sound good and then I would keep that for as long as possible. Turns out I don't need to, IT'S ALREADY GOOD OUT OF THE BOX!
Yeah i want one but they don't sell them in my country we don't use dollars
I have that exact same air humidifier lol
you can just bridge popped out hotswap sockets :( the right way would of course be soldering iron+wire, but there are other conductive things that can work for long enough to win a challenge... ;)
Just subscribed 😊 love your content
I love hipyos jokes
Hipyo just reflow the solder balls for the hotswap sockets with a hair dryer and press on it with your finger. EZ quick fix.
Pretty sure getting those sockets back on wouldn't be too hard, just some glue and some bodge wires (or just solder bridge if the nearby traces are still good).
Honestly though it does sound really good after the mods (even if it doesn’t work) so I’d still say job well done
shout whispering indeed
13:15 Hipyo's Nightmare.
I know the feeling sir I got roasted to hell cuz I can't build a keyboard either... I can with $50 tho...
I think the keyboard was still entirely salvageable. All you had to do was solder some wires from the broken off hotswap socket following the PCB traces to the next pads (to either the diode or the next socket pad in the sequence)
I had to do the same thing for a stripped solder pad on my Keychron K4
watched everyone except lewis and andy, btw you should use the ad revenue for egg sandwiches
You upgraded it so hard it went away (poff) and just became another keyboard.
Does that pcb allow for ISO and split back space? That's impressive at this price point!
I wanna comment just in Hipyo sees this but, there is a keyboard i found that surprised me because its available in my country (i dont have access to premium custom keyboard sites and can only buy gaming ones). There is a keyboard by Fantech that has Hipyo's favourite gatreon milky yellows that are even pre lubed AND hot swappable. It also has south facing leds and built in case and plate foam The keyboard is called fantech maxfit 67 and it would be cool to see him try it :)
13:50 In the words of glarses “So I threw it in a bin”.
4:40 he just accepted his fate and the budget of $20 and didn't wanted to win at least.
I have this rgb keyboard that my friend gave me awhile ago. It sounds horrible, but I didn’t have anything to fill it with. So I tore up some tissues and stuffed the shreds inside. It sounds pretty good now.
I'm watching this with a modded keyboard, the WK611 and it THOCKS.
this is how glarses felt in the $100 challenge
Quality content
It was the "before" sound test and I was just sitting here like "ohhh so *thats* what a bad keyboard sounds like. Oh yeah this is terrible". I didn't have a reference for a shit sound, everyone just talks about things being better!
Now this is something that my very broke bank account can handle
Me who has one of the cheapest keyboards of Amazon (Oversteel Iron) and has the same sound with my Kailh Red switches :
This video was an experience…
Man... I was trying to blow the hair off my screen at 3:30
hey pro tip you can take switches off with a screw driver or even a scissor flat screwdriver works the best and if you have unresponsive keys remove a switch from your numpad or someplace you dont use and switch it out for the one you do use clean all the dirt from the pcb under it also
pretty good thock at the end.
You should create the most minimal keyboard possible.
I have this keyboard but it’s hotswap and I love it!
I have modded my Aukey differently 😅, i had a glue gun, so... well, i coated the plastic back with a layer of glue ❤ worked. And obvously lubed all the switches.. well, with spray grease. Yeah. Cause that was not hot swappable 😅. But hey, it worked 😍
