I realize (again) how truly distorted my view of what's expensive is, when it comes to keyboards. I thought: "Wow, that's cheap.", when you said something below 150... To me... a board is still not really that expensive below 300 and at this point i understand people spending 600+ or even more on builds.
Maybe I am a minority but I feel like there is a massively neglected silent keyboard market. I am really not a fan of clacky keyboards, I am much more impressed by quieter keyboards than louder ones - especially when working in an office.
Dude, same here I have been researching silent switches for months, but it doesn't seem like people do objective measurements on sound. The closest has been keybored, and his videos. I just want db mesurements of supposedly silent switches. And sound comparisons.
@@ciaojay7025 do you know how they compare to ttc light cloud v2 or kalih midnight silents? I'll definitely be looking them up on putting them on my watch list!!
What's confusing here is that a silent keyboard is ideal for many office environments. However many office jobs require numpad usage, so why isn't this keyboard offered with a numpad?
I'm very new to this hobby, but the thing that makes the biggest impact in quieting my own keyboard is present in every video, but never mentioned: what the keyboard is sitting on! I don't have a desk pad so I use layers of very thin packing foam cut to the keyboard dimensions. Have you ever done a video on eliminating the transfer of vibration from keyboard to desk?
@@uramalakiathey'll make keyboard mats or something and mod the heck out of different combinations of textiles and assign colors to them like they would to switches 😂
If you are looking for silent switches I can highly recommend Outemu cream yellows (v1 or V2) or the newer jade yellows. They're dead silent and can be bought for like 15 cents a switch. The quality is like a Gazzew since they use the same molds. Throw them in a cheap board like a GAS67 or better a GMK67. Great board to carry to work.
I have the GMK67 + v2 version of these cream yellow switches. Got it to be able to game while the baby sleeps right next to it. Everything is lubed, tape mode, etc. It is even more quieter than the one in the video. And everything is within the 100$ budget. Now my Logitech mx master 3s is the loudest out there.
I've used Gazzew U4RGB 65g as tactile silent switches. I don't have any other experience with mechanical keyboards, so I don't know if they're actually silent or tactile. But I'm okay with the results.
Those Kailh switches look like they're a recolour to the Kailh HUSH switches I bought a while back. They're pretty nice silent switches and quite smooth as they're factory lubricated. They are definitely more complex than most other switch designs and it was a struggle getting it back together when I disassembled one!
Keany Beany Chocolate from the Penn State University Creamery. All their ice cream is ridiculously good, I think the fat content is slightly higher than most ice cream, so it’s all creamier. Has ground chunks of cocoa beans, so gets that crunch but not with chocolate chips or shavings. So good
I thought there is something wrong with the sound at the beginning. The "genuis" just muted the sound so we watch his vid of this not-so-quite keyboard
Sadly there is no numpad.. That's annoying, if you're looking for an office keyboard with a numpad. Like I am. This quest is how I found your channel. I want a silent mechanical keyboard, with all the keys of a normal keyboard including a numpad. Does such a thing exist?
I like that this one is stock! I got a similar sound from a Epomaker EK68 with Gamakay Pegasus switches I use for University. No modding needed, just switch a swap, and the switches don't feel squishy like usual silents
I just got this keyboard today, and it's really amazing! This video must've been enough to convince me to finally scratch the silent mechanical keyboard itch I've been having for a long while since using the MX Mechanical Mini from Logitech
The tape mod made it sound thockier but also the slightest bit louder I think. Overall, a great silent keyboard for someone who doesn’t like to mod! RIP top cover
this definitely would be best for playing lethal company,because if your keyboard makes loud sounds when typing you know damn well you're gonna die by an eyeless dog, and mainly games that uses microphone and the ai enemy uses sounds from your microphone to hear where you are
I'm lactose intolerant, and I'm a sucker for blueberry icecream. Lactose or not. There's also some weird raspberry+salt licorice icecream around here that really hits the spot too.
After your tape mod, the keys sounded like a tropical rain falling on giant banana leaves if you were listening from inside the house, under a blanket. Some serious ASMR and dangerous if you had to write a paper. Fighting sleep with every paragraph typed.
A brief history of Varmilo products: Most keyboards have only soldered PCB and the steel plates are hooked to a PCB by beefy steel hooks. Not only you have to desolder switches/LEDs, but If you try to bend steel hooks to holes' directions, you will scratch the surface of the PCB to the point of either taking out most of the mask away or conductive copper sheet showing underneath. Form wireless options, either only Bluetooth (cable is used only for charging battery) or Bluetooth+wire. 2.4 GHz is non existent and only few models have it. If the price for the product is decent, shipping price kills the whole purpose of purchasing Varmilo board. And I am not talking about 10-15$ shipping like Keychron has, I am talking about 30-40$+ shipping price. Quality control is either hit or miss. There are a lot of complains around the internet about either one of the switches not responding or one LED not working. From my point of view, when you have such a big variety of keyboards, Varmilo and Drop are not a keyboard you should purchase.
They really don’t have much variety. I don’t know what you are on about. Most of their keyboards are the exact same with a different color scheme/design
Thanks for the information. I'm looking for the most silent stock keyboard because I'll have a microphone right next to it to talk into. If you can recommend me one, please let me know. My budget is several times higher than the price of this Varmilo keyboard.
@@VicInCommentSection Okay, although I don’t have much experience with custom keyboards, I did actually buy this keyboard as stock spec’d in the original video. And I love it! Very quiet and I really enjoy the relatively soft feel of the typing experience. I also purchased due to having a mic and not wanting to have loud typing noise come through when recording, and it’s been great. Like I said, not much experience, but the experience I’ve had with this has been superb.
I'm in need of a "silent" keyboard, as quiet as possible. How does this compare to an unmodified Epomaker RT100? Possible to for you to do a video on the top 3 or 5 library silent keyboards?
I remember when buying a keyboard was easy. The cheapest keyboard that made the most noise, had the most buttons and the brightest LEDs. The good old days 😢.
I like my keyboard noisy, but in a workplace where I'm on zoom calls and my clackity clacking is interrupting everyone, a silent keyboard is what I want.
ended up buying the minilo after seeing this video (i'd been searching for a quieter keyboard for work for a bit) and just got it today. i have absolutely zero regrets, thank you!!
this one with the possibility to modify the case (especially the color scheme) would be so awesome, sadly all of these schemes won't fit to any other colors I have in my setup right now.
Appreciation post: Thanks for introducing this amazing keyboard!! I just bought it recently! Let me tell u guys, its definitely awesome and worth it. It would save your relationship with your gf/wife. Quietness: 9.5/10 (i dont think you can ever find any mechanical keyboard this silent) Typing feel: 8.5/10 (the switch is responsive and it feels real good. I play moba game alot. I used to hv razer blackwidows, corsair, hyperx keyboard. This is definitely one of the best as well)
I was looking for this type of comment in the comment section just wanted to say thank you for giving us your feedback on the keyboard. I have been having the office keyboard which is a basic boring keyboard and I have been using it for quite a while and I think its time for an upgrade. I'm definitely going to order this keyboard.
Im starting a new job at a call center and i relly wanna pop off with a quiet keyboard that i moded to also make me type faster. So we'll see how it goes im exited, they said we could bring our own keyboards so idk
I need a quiet keyboard, but most importantly- a quiet mouse. I tend to play on my pc anytime my family is asleep, and for my nocturnal self I would like to be able to game without disturbing my relatives. Unfortunately, I am not prepared to spend an absolute fortune. I just ask for a mouse without the clickity clacks.
Well obviously the bottom comes off before the top rim because they would have had to been able to screw that on before putting it all together . . . . . .
These switches look completely identical to Kailh Deep Sea Pro silent switches - same stem shape, same dampening, same RGB light diffusion plastic bits. The only difference just looks like the color of the chassis and stem
I've tried both of them this week at my local keyboard store, and it was so amazing, makes me want to buy them asap. Wish my wallet didn't have problems with that
Currently frustrated with how you demolished that keyboard. Did you not think of removing the rubber feet first to see if the screws holding the keyboard together were there?
I'm gonna double down. The screw for the part you broke off was from the bottom... that would probably mean that it was meant to be disassembled from the bottom side first right?
Great sounding keyboard, might need one for streaming! As for the ice cream, I’m one of the lactose free gang so I always tend towards lactaid’s salted caramel ice cream. Never had any distress after eating a bowl of it, which has been great since I loved ice cream growing up, in spite of the crippling stomach pain lol
A fake typing test at the start of the video (you muted the mic) so it draws in people to see how the keyboard performs. Then, 11 minutes of yapping only to find out at the end that the keyboard is not silent, as you showed at the start. Nice video mate. Very helpful.
Haha definitely looks like you could use some pry tools - or at least anything other than super sharp metal tweezers. 😂 But thanks as always for going the extra length to see inside!
It looks like they sell the prestige silent switches now. What is the best metal frame keyboard you recommend putting these in? I def need wireless or bluetooth and backlight would be nice.
Luckly they sell the switches on their own by groups of 35 at a good price so no need to buy the keyboard if you want just the switches. They also sell other keyboards with the same switches.
I just got this badboy and its ridiculous how silent and great this sounds its AMAZING. Thanks for putting me on Hipyo!! Only took a week-ish to get here from Shenzhen too. I agree the box does smell like perfume which is not bad I guess 😂😂
Just a quick question if I may. Have you tried opening it? I feel that Hipyo destroyed his KB, but shouldn't have. (I'm looking to get a KB to throw in the bag when I got to the office, this would be great: quiet and light :))
My fav kind of ice cream is strawberry because after a hot summer day and you go to an ice cream parlor and their frozen strawberries in it that melt in your mouth. Peak ice cream
Im not into this hobby but i think its also the way everything is not meant to be taken apart. If theres more space, they hit each other and make noises, if its tight enough without any spacing=each parts will not hit each other=no noise. I wonder if you losen everything itll start to have sounds
I have the keychron k4 v2, and I needed a silent keyboard for my videos. I did a lot of research into what components in a keyboard made the noise and I was surprised. Aside from clicky tactile switches, I was surprised to see that even linear switches made a LOT of noise. So I focused my attention on finding silent switches, there were a couple of contenders. Durock/alpaca, kalih box switches and one other I don't recall but durock dolphins ended up winning. I got 110 of them for $75 on Amazon and lubed them. They come pre lubed but are scratchy and lubing helped reduce this. My only complaint about them is, literally the only thing that makes them silent is a small silicone O ring thay is on the rails of the internal switch. So I thought, well I could just order those for my gateron reds, right? WRONG. I searched for hours and couldn't find anything about this small silicone gasket thingy for the rails and found nothing. I then attempted to swap them to my gateron reds and noticed that the durock dolphin switch rails had a small lip and my gateron reds didn't. So I installed them and moved on with my life. Only to fimd out I didn't like the 65 gram springs as my gateron reds were 40 gram. So I ordered 110 35 gram springs and I'm much happier but that's personal taste. I also foam modded my keychron k4 v2 case and it is basically silent. Oh and I added some foam to my space bar as it's hollow cavity echoed a lot! But now I'm super excited and pleased with my keychron k4 v2, I have to basically put my ear up to the keyboard to even hear the noise even when typing vigorously. My mic no longer picks it up and I've ordered kalih mute switches for my mouse and I'm praying they fit 😅. I'm using an evga x15 and I really like it but it's so loud compared to my keyboard now 😂
as much as I hate to recommend anything mass market, if your looking for a dead quiet mouse, the logitech mx master s is about as quiet as you can find.
@@abelincoln7473 Wrong, there are cheaper quiet mouse out there, which are more silent than the logitech (which is also quite heavy) and makes a scratching sound when moving.
Where did you get the 35g spring? What did you end up using? I’m sorry I got lost somewhere about the O Rings. Was it the durock dolphin switches swapped out for 35g spring? I need a light silent tactile and still trying to figure out what are available and suggestions. Thanks 🙏
@HipyoTech can you review the ROYALAXE X ProtoArc L98 Keyboard. It looks really great for the price, and would love your opinion on it, or just comment back if you think its good or not, but a video would be cool! Also thank you for getting me into this wallet bleeding hobby!
I bought the Logi Craft keyboard just because its quiet and still has good feel to it. I wish there were more quiet keyboards to choose from, this video is perfect for me. :)
I am not lactose intolerant but I am stupidly American so I like super unhealthy sugar-filled birthday cake ice cream and also pistachio ice cream cuz I love pistachios! Also I’m not a keyboard modder type person (I literally just use a laptop) so this was very funny and I didn’t share ur frustrating lmaoooo great video tho!!
...you might have saved me. I got a lovely RisoPhy keyboard, my first mechanical and my family have complained its too loud so doing the review for a quiet one might seriously have saved my ass

Interesting tip
I fear you've just unleashe a whole new can of worms on the mechanical keyboard community. Or as they say, "the plot thickens".
For me, a very fluffy, small towel or a folded small blanket worked the best. Any that can thickly pad the bottom of the keyboard works nicely!

Im not into this hobby but i think its also the way everything is not meant to be taken apart. If theres more space, they hit each other and make noises, if its tight enough without any spacing=each parts will not hit each other=no noise. I wonder if you losen everything itll start to have sounds
I have the keychron k4 v2, and I needed a silent keyboard for my videos. I did a lot of research into what components in a keyboard made the noise and I was surprised. Aside from clicky tactile switches, I was surprised to see that even linear switches made a LOT of noise. So I focused my attention on finding silent switches, there were a couple of contenders. Durock/alpaca, kalih box switches and one other I don't recall but durock dolphins ended up winning. I got 110 of them for $75 on Amazon and lubed them. They come pre lubed but are scratchy and lubing helped reduce this. My only complaint about them is, literally the only thing that makes them silent is a small silicone O ring thay is on the rails of the internal switch. So I thought, well I could just order those for my gateron reds, right? WRONG. I searched for hours and couldn't find anything about this small silicone gasket thingy for the rails and found nothing. I then attempted to swap them to my gateron reds and noticed that the durock dolphin switch rails had a small lip and my gateron reds didn't. So I installed them and moved on with my life. Only to fimd out I didn't like the 65 gram springs as my gateron reds were 40 gram. So I ordered 110 35 gram springs and I'm much happier but that's personal taste. I also foam modded my keychron k4 v2 case and it is basically silent. Oh and I added some foam to my space bar as it's hollow cavity echoed a lot! But now I'm super excited and pleased with my keychron k4 v2, I have to basically put my ear up to the keyboard to even hear the noise even when typing vigorously. My mic no longer picks it up and I've ordered kalih mute switches for my mouse and I'm praying they fit 😅. I'm using an evga x15 and I really like it but it's so loud compared to my keyboard now 😂
as much as I hate to recommend anything mass market, if your looking for a dead quiet mouse, the logitech mx master s is about as quiet as you can find.
@@abelincoln7473 Wrong, there are cheaper quiet mouse out there, which are more silent than the logitech (which is also quite heavy) and makes a scratching sound when moving.
@GordonSeal such as? No reason not to share..
Where did you get the 35g spring? What did you end up using? I’m sorry I got lost somewhere about the O Rings. Was it the durock dolphin switches swapped out for 35g spring? I need a light silent tactile and still trying to figure out what are available and suggestions. Thanks 🙏
@@gabbychow4026 you could also look into hall effect, or magnetic switches.
I could watch these videos for an eternity
Glad to see Varmilo making a comeback
I bought these switches bc of this video. And its amazing silent!
A "friend" you say?
I see what you're doin' 👀
@HipyoTech can you review the ROYALAXE X ProtoArc L98 Keyboard. It looks really great for the price, and would love your opinion on it, or just comment back if you think its good or not, but a video would be cool! Also thank you for getting me into this wallet bleeding hobby!
Managed to take it apart without breaking anything thanks to this video
What is the actuation force for the switches? I'm a guy who doesn't like hard to press switches and was thinking of getting this
it's 42 gf. But the spring is 20mm. So it feels like 45 gf?
I bought the Logi Craft keyboard just because its quiet and still has good feel to it. I wish there were more quiet keyboards to choose from, this video is perfect for me. :)
I am not lactose intolerant but I am stupidly American so I like super unhealthy sugar-filled birthday cake ice cream and also pistachio ice cream cuz I love pistachios!
Also I’m not a keyboard modder type person (I literally just use a laptop) so this was very funny and I didn’t share ur frustrating lmaoooo great video tho!!
Yea that sound at 1:20 will not earn a subscription. Wtf man. I'm using surround sound headphones
people who customize their keyboard : "tape" that's it.
tell josie that i love her earrings
...you might have saved me. I got a lovely RisoPhy keyboard, my first mechanical and my family have complained its too loud so doing the review for a quiet one might seriously have saved my ass
Are you going to make a video on the Field 75 by NuPhy?
The silent one thanks.
Ice cream - dairy free for lactose free gang... Mmmm... probably strawberry or coffee types!
