Just ordered my first mech keyboard and my feed is choca full of videos with 'BEST budget keyboard' or 'BUY THIS ONE'. I've followed hipyo for a while before pulling the trigger and did follow his advice but for anyone who might be in the same situation as me. Don't fall into any buyers regret. The best budget keyboard is ultimately the one you can afford or the one you have. If its not 'the best' you can try modding, or switch out keycaps and switches. Enjoy the hobby at you're own pace.
I agree! Most of what I've taken away from these reviews is a list of features to look for when I have started making my choices. And information on how to change things I might not like! We have come a long way from the days when you couldn't find any mechanical keyboards with wireless for less than $Logitech, and I salute our hippo leaders for showing the way.
YEs, absolutely. This is something i thought i had overcome when buying the rainy75 even after new "better' options came out since liked the pvd mirror on the rainy. but after stripping the screws in an attempt to mod it (3/6 screws) I for sure had thoughts like i should have bought the bridge 75 instead lol. still havent found a solution to the screws so if you have any ideas that would be helpful :)
I purchased keychron V1 Max with brown switches, it's my first ever mechanical keyboard ever and I really love it. I can't wait to customize later on time
I just got mine in the mail today. I just wanted to yell into the sky THANK YOU HIPYO! I put some nice caps on it from drop and honestly if this is what a keyboard should have been like all these years what the heck have I been typing on moldy cardboard lol. This thing is amazing, sounds and types like a dream. Thank you again for opening my eyes to the truth :D
hmmmmm this might be the one to go for i’ve only just started getting into keyboards and this seems to be a good one for learning. i got a lofree flow 75 as my first non-mainstream board after the algo introduced me to your channel when that vid came out and it was love at first sight, beautiful board that i use every day at home and at work
Update - I did the KS and got my keyboard today on 10/2. It's amazingly nice and quite poppy, nice gasket performance stock and the silver finish is very smooth not chalky like some of the other less expensive boards. Very impressed with my initial impression. Switches are a little light for my tastes but I knew that would be the case when I ordered. The stock switches are very smooth and feel fantastic if you like light linears plus the RGB is nice and bright as well, perhaps they made the brighter for the release compared to what you reviewed (mine has the beige switches). Front of the keyboard is on part with the Rainy75 and ND75 which are both about 3mm or so higher than a QK75n.
@@yaboi9632 Dongle storage is always one of my pet peeves. I don't always use a dongle, so with some keyboards its loose and easy to lose. With others, I keep it in an included keyboard case, but its to inconvenient to grab so it never gets used.

Separating the down motion (key compress) and key return (key rebound sound) with longer pause would make the sound test so much better and this review perfect. We all know that o-ring will silent the compression of the key, but how to silent key rebound? Well done.
Everything is better with magnets. For people that like to tinker the idea of this is pretty sweet. If I was younger / had more free time I would be all over this.

Here's an idea for a video: "Can AI design a good mechanical Keyboard?" You open up Chat GPT and ask it to recommend you different parts that would make up a keyboard (What switches should I buy? What Keycaps? What base? etc.) Then you get whatever Chat GPT suggested, and see what you end up with.
9:35 "Oh also it has ISO support" Sort of. They support a plate for the taller Enter, but it keeps the key count the same, meaning no smaller left Shift and extra key that is part of ISO. ISO boards have one more key than ANSI boards so their 'ISO support' is more of a semi-ISO or ISO-like ANSI, a weird hybrid of the two. Which is important for languages that have more letters than English and hence benefit from the extra key.
@qq_02 I was looking for a custom keyboard with ISO support. Would we say that this might be a good call. Because i was looking at the Akko Monsgeek M1 V3 but with VAT and shipping its like 160 for the ISO so Im looking for alternatives that are more around the 100$ mark
Did Kickstarter for this one when it went live for the pro to check it out. Rainy KS to me was a nightmare but the Lemokey P1 went great... guess it just depends. While it's not super easy to take apart I'm currently evaluating the Epomaker P75, multiple switch options, bright LEDs, great caps and comes in a little less than some of the others. No external weight but no one really sees those anyway. Great review on this, looking forward to when I get mine... whenever that may be :)
So far my top 3 budget keyboard is the Womier RD75, Epomaker Tide75, and the Wobkey Rainy75. I have not yet seen the Bridge75, so I’ll wait for your review next week
@@Kwint. now that I watched a couple of Bridge75 reviews from other channels. I think my top 5 budget keyboards are the Bridge75 Plus, Womier RD75 Pro, Womier SK75, Rainy75 Pro, and the Tide75.
@@Namu4Life Why the Bridge on firsts? A solid secondary place, cuz Womier has a magnetic connector for PCB, and a deal breaker especially for me, slot for a receiver.
What about ultra budget? You gotta try the Ajazz AK820 (non pro). We're talking foam, silicone, gasket mount, pre lubed stabs and switches, flex cut pcb & more features : For 30-35€ on AE I recommand the gray version with the moon yellow switches
Amazing keyboard. Great that they listen. I hope they'll someday put the option of a replacing the space bar with a 3-split space bar. And put some extra keycaps with legends M1, M2, M3, M4 in 1u size as well as if you would want one of the Caps Lock, Alt or Ctrl key caps to do something different.
Great hiding spot for the dongle, how sturdy is the magnet holding it? And the sound of tape mod keeps amazing me. Weird how the sound changes so much from just a layer of tape.
these "yellow things" are condoms for switches, i mean you lube the switches and touch them and expect them not to blow their load on the pcb (main cause of mechanicalkeybaord failure) ? welp thats what the yellow small stuff are for
hello Hipyo tech, i like your videos about thocky keyboard but the budget keyboard you show are like premium keyboard here in India around 12-13k please make budget keyboard videos with Indian pricing in mind. I want to know your thoughts about the keyboard in India, Thanks in advance, once again like your content
Sad thing is I’m basically collecting keyboards now for my brothers who are soon to get pcs. And this was on the list but I bought the rk 87 instead. Oops 😅
I decided to go for this keyboard after watching your video. I've been daily driving it for a while now and the feel and sound is amazing, even out of the box. The only issue that is driving me nuts is the frequent chatter issue where it would register a bunch of keys at once. Do you have any recommendations or troubleshooting tips that might help me? Replace all the switches? Cleaning all switches? Chatter issues have been here since the start.
Just picked up the anodized blue on amazon. Currently 20% off. Friggin love this keyboard! Shes pretty hefty too. Around 4.5lbs. You could definitely knock someone out with it if needed.😂
Do a budget review from Temu. The prices are really really low, but we'd like to know if the quality is trash or not from someone that isn't paid to promote :)
U should try adding just cotton wool and carbord to a keybord it sounds amazing trust me my keybord has never tried better i use a redragon k630 dragborn and stock it sounds terrible but these mods made the keybord sound so good
Yo Hipyo, great vid, one question - How did you go about doing that tape mod on this keyboard specifically? Did you use electric tape like you said in a previous vid?
Hey hipyo I’m wondering what you would think a good keyboard would be I’m looking for a clicky one with a 200 cad budget preferably on the smaller side
One question. Almost all clips I see of keyboard recommendations are "budget" and even more so, "beginners". I get why. Most people are beginners and have a budget. But what does Hipyo Tech consider to be a *pro* keyboard build?
So I had a Corsair K70 Red with Cherry MX Red switches that died on me (board died). I was crazy enough to remove all of the switches which I confirmed that still work. The idea is to recycle the switches and use them to build a custom keyboard for work. I could also make use of the keycaps although the standard is not very common. Not sure if you could help me with some ideas for cases and boards. I was thinking of soldering them to the new board but the points are fairly clean so I can see them being used in the quick change ones.
could you review the Surmen M75? I think it's a really great bang for you buck keyboard and I'd like to hear your opinion on it or if there's better alternatives

hey Hipyo, could you do an analysis of Womier S-k80? (or XvX S-k80, it's the same keyboard) I'm saving money for buying that keyboard, and since i'm from Brazil, things are really expensive here, so i wanted to make sure the product is high quality
