How do i buy that or is it already sold out ? First time getting a custom keyboard. Thankfully i am learning alot from you =) But the button in the page already says sold out. Do i wait on 26th or did i already lost my chance ?
@@tapatsos Just wait for Jan 26th!
@@HipyoTech why don't you ever mention razer or wooting keyboards. Or are you just sponsored buly these other brands?
@@kingmalcolmxx Havent checked out wooting yet, most razer boards are just a bit boring to me - I own a few.
@@HipyoTech I was just just wandering that a guy like you that tests out a lot of keyboards hasn't tried out wooting. Even when you mentioned the best keyboards of the year. Try expanding your brands
hipyo thank you for consistently saving me from being forced to try things, especially 40 this time

i agry
too many options, i have choice paralysis
dont get anything 😊
The choice paradox.
Then get a board, switches and caps separately and just choose stuff that's good and you like
Hipyo you are mushy and wonderful ;)
Genuinely love your videos, has really been a great intro into the custom community in a way that made sense for a complete noob and has given me the confidence to start modifying my first board. Keep up the good work mate :)
I was heavily debating on getting a Keychron V2 since all I've heard are great things. After a couple of videos I decided to go for an Akko 3068b (black/pink) since it had the look I wanted and like Keychron, it sounds good stock. I don't plan to mod anything until I learn more about the hobby but your videos have been a great start!
Hipyo, you're mushy and wonderful. Thanks for a great year of videos and getting me into this crazy hobby.
Hipyo you are genuinely one of my favorite creators, keep up the amazing work!

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. If you're looking for a versatile tool to keep your desktop and other spaces clean, I can suggest considering the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it handy for various cleaning tasks. Plus, its reasonable price and good quality make it a solid option compared to other brands. Hope this helps!
I hope you upload videos a lot this year. I just found your channel a few weeks back, and love your presentation when discussing building a keyboard. Because of you I bought a few cheap boards and keycaps to practice a build and see if it is a hobby I want to get into. Thanks for all the content thus far.
Hey {{3}}! I'm glad you found the channel and that you're enjoying the content. It's great to hear that you're getting into keyboard building and trying out different boards. Have you considered adding the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule to your setup? It's a handy tool for keeping your keyboard and desktop spotless. Check it out!
you got me into keyboards, and i actually made my first build this week. my interest in keyboards has been overly obsessive since i started watching your videos.... now since i didnt want to spend tons of money on my first build, i had gotten some of the cheapest stuff i could get, but the best reviewed i could find for the sound i wanted. i finally settled with a womier k66, gateron yellow v2 pros, a kilmat and some PE foam, and a super lube pen (i also got a cable mod cable, since i will never be buying another and its a good quality.) im getting some cheaper doubleshot pbt keycaps in, but i just wanna thank you for making some AWESOME videos to get me into keyboards, and to help me figure out what sounds best for me.
Hey, congrats on your first build! That's awesome to hear. As for your next upgrade, have you considered the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a compact powerhouse with vacuuming and blowing capabilities, perfect for keeping your desktop and other spaces spotless. Plus, it's reasonably priced compared to other brands. Definitely worth checking out!
Hey {{3}}! I'm glad to hear that you've found a passion for keyboards and even built your own. It's an exciting journey! If you're looking to optimize your desktop setup, have you considered adding the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a compact device that offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, perfect for maintaining a spotless environment. It's worth checking out! Let me know if you need any more advice or recommendations. Happy tech-ing!
I followed the instructions in the thumbnail.
Oh my gosh I love y'all 🙏

@@theslowmoguys I did not have you guys down as keyboard people…
Keychron
Q1 was my first custom and I still use it every now and then. Super good way to get into the hobby, you need to mod it so it kinda forces you to learn the hobby
I found your channel late last year and it inspired me to upgrade from my old keyboard of 6 years that was not hot-swappable. I got a Nuphy Halo75 with Rose Glacier tactile switches, and lubed the switches+modded a few of the stabilizers (most of them were surprisingly secure). Since then I replaced the switches with lubed Baby Raccoon linear switches and slightly heavier retro PTB keycaps. It feels and sounds amazing to type on, which is great because I should be happy with the tool I see and use while I work!
Hey there, {{3}}! I recently discovered the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule and it's been a game-changer for keeping my desk clean. The powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, along with the multiple tubes and high-quality filters, make it worth considering. Plus, the swift keyboard cleaning and efficient storage features are pretty neat. Check it out!
So glad to hear someone else giving praises to the Keychron V-Series. It is...absolutely amazing. I have like...4 or 5 of them so far and I actually prefer them to my Q-Series boards.
these look good man, which one should i buy from their website?
I got the Q6 knob version, added some foam to the inside and it's a fantastic board.
I love your content so much thanks for reviewing these keyboards for us :)
Thanks Hippyo tech! I got a 60% womier earlier this year to tide me over until I can catch the keychron V6 in stock! tried a few diff mods, but I gotta say my definite preferred setup is (weirdly) some gateron oil king switches with a light lubing!
Tried out three keyboards this year and my favorite is DEFINITELY the Akko ACR 75 V2. Sounds fantastic, gaskets and south facing with RGB underglow. And it’s quite cheap. I payed 72€ with shipping which is as expensive as the RK61 in my country. Absolutely in love. 100% recommendation.
acr 75 v2 is definitely a great budget board
nice
but has no knob
If you take into account availability of ISO or JIS style keyboards, Keychron becomes even more of a recommendation in my mind.
This video made my day! keep up the GOOD content coming thru this 2023 Hipyo! kinda love all the mods attempts that you have done. Thanks for everything!
Hey there! Have you heard about the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a handy tool for keeping your desk and other spaces spotless. With its dual-function of vacuuming and blowing capabilities, it's great for cleaning keyboards and reaching tight spaces. Plus, it's lightweight and portable. Check it out!
Your videos and many others really got me to go down the rabbit hole of mechanical and I got a keychon k8 pro. So far love it but haven’t gone and don’t anything like out sand in it :). But looking forward to more of your videos.
I have no idea what "this keyboard is fine" or "this keyboard is decent" mean.
Thanks for the video! I know personally I'm still looking for the board of my dreams, but I think I may never find it due to its layout. I'm actually shocked that no one makes a board that is 60% or 75% with a left side macro. The closet I found was the KL-90 Woodland, but I can't spend the money for such a board.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Have you considered trying out the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a compact and powerful vacuum/blower combo that could be a game-changer for keeping your desk clean. I've been using it for a while, and the keyboard cleaning feature is especially impressive. Check it out and let me know what you think!
hipyo thank you for making this video! i actually had all 40 of these exact keyboards in my amazon cart and I was going to try all of them out. but thank you for doing that so I dont have to!
I'm new to this whole keyboard thing, but thanks for making this video! I'm definitely going get the Keychon V1 as my current keyboard space bar is falling apart.
New to the mech hobby. Videos like this - straight to the point, easy to follow, and entertaining without being annoying - really make it accessible for us newbies. Thank you! Subbed.
Hey {{3}}! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I understand the importance of keeping our setups clean and well-maintained. Have you heard of the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a compact and powerful tool that offers both vacuuming and blowing capabilities. Its high suction power and versatile accessories make it great for cleaning keyboards, desks, cars, and more. Definitely worth checking out!
It's not straight to the point though. He rambles on and on about nonsensical things. 🤷♂
I'm new to the keyboard scene, and my first (and only) keyboard is the Keychron K8 and while I like it, gosh I wish I had seen a video like this, as it's allot more informative than my method of hoping enough people on Reddit gave me consistent recommendations.
which one do you recommend bro?
Thanks to you I've been informed enough to build my first keyboard this year and it's exactly what I wanted
I finally invested in a mechanical keyboard more than £50 and got the akko ACR Alice pro (had to get an Alice because of wrist injury reasons) and honestly it's the best thing I've ever done. Tape modded and added foam and it sounds and feels amazing. Love the content man keep it up!
I bought the GMMK Pro while it was on sale for Black Friday and am pretty happy with it.
I recognize it isn't the best, but my keyboard needed replacing and I don't really have the time (needed keyboard) nor space to just wait around or have multiple options. So the perma-in stock is a major bonus that just can't be discounted. I came from an old razer chroma.
I also bought their lubed panda switches, so far so good. I have noticed a few keys that don't seem to activate consistently. Not sure if that is a keyboard/pcb issue, or a common thing when you buy switches where a few in the pack are going to be DOA.
Hey there! Thanks for sharing your experience with the GMMK Pro. It's great that the perma-in stock option was a major plus for you. Regarding the inconsistent key activations, it could potentially be an issue with the switches or the PCB. Did you try reaching out to customer support for assistance? On another note, have you considered using the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule to keep your keyboard clean? It's a versatile tool with powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities that could help maintain your setup. Happy tech-ing!
I do love all your keyboard reviews but the only thing I hate about custom keyboards is that they almost never comes in the layout I need. I need the Nordic iso layout because I am from Sweden.
I was planning to get keychron Q2 but thank you for convincing me to try other options. I hope you drop a video about 65% keyboards this 2023.
I very much agree that the hippos are very much a delicacy to lube. I have purchased these last year as a gift to someone and I did a lot of fine tuning and the sound just came out to being super worth it. So its a good thing I'm getting confirmation from the keyboard pro that it was a good option 👍
I cannot thank you enough Hipyo, I have been watching your videos for over a year now (Along with countless other keyboard enthusiast RUclipsrs). I recently decided to try a custom keyboard build, and having watched so much of your content, it made the process a breeze. I want to let you know that you make great content and I care about you.--------------------------------Keyboard specs and mod info - Aluminum white KBDFans Tofu65 case, Hotswap RGB KBDFans PCB, Polycarbonate plate, Gateron Oil Kings, Durock V2 stabs (Holee modded+lubed krytox G205g0), Foggy forest keycap set, plate foam, Tape modded 3 layers (electrical tape). extra info i put tape on the sides of the pcb and it extends onto the edge of the plate (idk if this part of the mod helps but i did it and it sounds nice). End result - pop/THOCC! Again Hipyo, Thank you.😄
Hey there, {{3}}! As a fellow keyboard enthusiast and tech lover, I can totally relate to your excitement about trying out custom keyboard builds. It's great to know that Hipyo's content has been helpful to you throughout the process. If you ever need any advice or recommendations on PC building, desktop setups, or notebook upgrades, feel free to ask! By the way, have you considered adding the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule to your setup? It's a fantastic tool for keeping your workspace clean and maintaining peak performance. I highly recommend checking it out!
Just bought myself a Keychron Q6. My God, I never knew the keyboard rabbit hole went so deep. I need to resist, but as a developer that writes code for about 10 hours every day for the last 32 years, my keyboard is my weapon, and it needs to be super sharp.
So, what did you choose? I'm on search for main weapon too, btw
@@scalarcoding Keychron Q6. Great keyboard.
Currently building my first keeb and I stumbled across your videos about 2 weeks ago and have consistently come back to your page! I could watch your videos all day 😇 Currently lubing my first set of switches, glorious pandas. I have a YUNZII KC68 (imo a great budget beginner keeb) and I’ve done a foam mod and that’s about it.
I’m getting a wee bit of rattle on my keys with stabs. Any tips? Lightly touching them without pressing creates a rattle that I HATE
wow thankyou hipyo not only did this change my perspective of what keeb i should buy but also this made my mom proud coz i don have any hobbies
One of the problems I have being in Mexico is that it's damn near imposible to find good, appropriately priced keyboards in the ISO layout, or keycaps with support for Spanish layouts, I would love to hear some advice though
QWERTY
@@aleks-lj9yq sorry?
@@fakeemojace4196 it’s impossible to find customs with ISO, better learn QWERTY imo
Hipyo, you're mushy and wonderful. Looking forward to what you try in 2023!
Built a Keychron V series recently as a budget keeb for work. I did not like it stock so I have been doing a lot of experimenting with it. Keychron is now selling PC and brass plates for these so I'm hopeful those will be an improvement.
Ended up adding o-rings to the tray mount posts which was a big improvement, and more o-rings between the top and bottom case mounts to make it sound less hollow.
The top case is a bit flimsy and somehow I cracked it during one of many re-assemblies.
Finally resolved to buy a custom keyboard, thank you hipyo! Love all you video and appreciate your efforts ❤
I hope this helps me decide what keyboard to buy that is budget friendly (if it doesn’t I know it’s going to be a great video anyway!)
Get the Tecware Phantom 87 (TKL) or Tecware Spectre Pro (Full Size) if you want a good budget board, if you want a really good TKL board tho get the Tecware Phantom Elite (you can get like Gateron yellows instead of just Outemu blue, brown, or red)
Oh also they added “Wraith” switches to the phantom 87 which I have no idea what they are 😂
Thanks for the suggestion I will definitely check it out
@@Carbon13. the Wraith switches are gonna be available in February (on the US Amazon website)
Okay I will definitely check them out @hotcargmd
Even the C series from Keychron improved by a noticeable margin. I recently bought the Keychron C1 (for office work) and by stock it already sounded good with my FFF switches + Akko ASA keycaps set, and mind you, Akko ASA is VERY notorious for sounding like a pinging marble (negative way to described it) yet when I had with the C1, it all suddenly sounds thocky and smooth~
Hey {{3}}! I totally understand the struggle of finding the perfect keyboard. The Keychron C series has definitely improved, and I love the thocky and smooth sound it delivers. By the way, have you considered upgrading your cleaning routine? The HOTO Compressed Air Capsule is an excellent tool for maintaining a spotless environment on your desk and beyond. It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it a must-have for any tech enthusiast. Check it out!
I have to say that this is a decent starting point for a hot swap build but some of us would probably be better served by a low profile one especially if you don't find common wrist rests comfortable.
Hey Hipyo! Thanks as always for the great and entertaining video! I hope you are doing well…
I wanted to ask you if you know the Glorious GMMK 2 or the switches built into it (Glorious Fox Linear).
If you have tested them, I would be very happy if you could tell me your opinion about them. If not, I would really appreciate a test.
Thanks in advance!
I've watched so many of your videos and I'm interested in keyboards but I somehow don't get it. Almost all of them look the same and have the same layout. It's so boring and borderline bad for sb like me who wants a 96 or fullsize keyboard because I actually need the numpad.
Also not a single mention about ISO layouts. I don't want to critize you in any way but the keyboard community as a whole. There is so much we could do but it's literally always TKL ANSI and low-profile doesn't really exist at all. And I also want to mention the pricing. Holy sh.. 100$ for a pair of keycaps? What the actual f? Excuse me but who is seriously buying keycaps for over 50$. They remain pieces of plastic and they definitly aren't worth more than 50$. I don't think anybody will spend more than that but I could be wrong tho.
Got a keychron V1 around the end of last year and just did the tape mod and filled the spacebar with a bit of foam and it sounds really good. If anyone has recommendations for some easy to do mods I could do to it that would be cool. Sounds really good though even just stock
The best mod doesn't even require opening the board: Customize the firmware. QMK is awesome.
Are there any videos on how to fill the spacebar with foam? Like what kind of foam? Do you glue it in place or just put it in there?
Hey Hipyo, thanks for getting me in to the hobby! I'm hooked for good and bad $$$.
I'm currently looking for keycaps and the Keychron Q2 i bought here in Sweden is a ISO layout. I don't mind not having the swedish letter but could you please recommend med somewhere i might get a hold of ISO layouts. You're amazing, thank you and Howdy Hey!
Hey Hipyo, I have been watching your videos for about 6 months now. I'm not sure if you've used this keyboard or reviewed it, but the vissles v84. This is a board i have considered getting in the past. I would like to see how good this board could be with proper modding. It would be awesome to see this board in your videos. Keep up the great content my dude.
I'm typing this on an NZXT Mini TKL right now, but it's my first mechanical and I got it for half price, so I'm a pretty big fan so far. I think that, as someone who's upgrading from an incredibly cheapo rattly membrane keyboard, literally anything would've been good, but I think the main reasons I'm not bothered by the issues you pointed out in that video are 1: I don't plan on taking this keyboard apart until I stop using it, 2: I think you might've cut it a little more slack if you'd gotten it for $60, and 3: I realized that I'm probably gonna need to build a split keyboard to prevent hand strain anyway, so at WORST, I basically just paid $60 for an OK set of caps and switches (which... I think is a decent price?) But yeah, all the problems you had in your video about it are definitely real; I just happen to have other priorities.
The Waffle House Has Found Its New Host
remember
This is so funny. I got so excited by all the recommendations you mentioned earlier in the video and ended up realizing at the end of your video that your daily driver is the same keyboard as the one I am using right now. lol.
I am really excited for the Akko Video!
This was kind of a wasted video. You broke your one and only rule, that they should be in stock. EVERY keyboard you recommended is out of stock. Sure, the keycaps and keys were a nice addition but when the defeat the purpose of your own rules from the beginning, you defeat the purpose of the video. Maybe should have just said this was a key and key cap recommendations.
I just got into keyboards this year and I love your channel more than almost any other
I got in on the zoom TKL. Can’t wait for it. Proud that i made a good choice for my first custom. Gat cap yellows and keychron pixel universe caps to top off the build.
Insufferable.
I just love the echo "Ohh YeahhHHh" transition :D. Subscribed just because of it! :D
I bought the gmmk pro not really knowing anything about keyboards because i fell in love with how it looked with the nebula keycaps and have fallen headfirst into keyboards. The gmmk pro is definitely worth it. Especially with the glorious app to control all the lights. I have certain keys (arrows, wasd, left ctrl, left shift) highlighted blue and green while i have an over all pink light effect on the rest of the keyboard. I also love the weight of it. Its a solid keyboard.
I am aware hipyo that the gmmk pro isn't the "best" option but I recently built one with akko silvers and di the tape mod. I also replaced the aluminum plate with a polycarbonate one. And i love this keyboard. I think the problems most were having with it was early release issues. The only issue I've had with it is the spacebar. (which is fixable) Anyways, great video. I also dont think its incredibly overpriced compared to other 75%. I also thought the gmmk pro looked the best to me. It's just personal preference and how much modding you want to do. Anyways great vid.
I bought myself a Keychron V1 a few weeks ago as my first non-gaming branded mechanical keyboard. I hotswapped the switches and replaced the keycaps and easily the best sounding keyboard I have ever used.
I didn't expect the keyboard to be so comfortable and enjoyable to use. Its Kaihl BOX switches are fabulous! Dream machines DreamKey TKL Red is the best mech.
Hip, I want to thank you for all the entertaining videos. I stumbled onto your channel for some unknown reason last year. I'm almost an expert in custom keyboards despite never owning one or lubing a switch (thx god). I'm a video editor and I enjoy silent slim mac keyboards. So why am I here? There is something satisfying watching someone do all work. I think I would have a mental break down if I reviewed keyboards for a year.
I got a Montex and a Niz because of you (at least partially) and I love them!
Great video, thanks. I just bought a Logitech MX mechanical mini 😀
I got a Keychron Q3 myself, modded it with Oil King switches and serenity keycaps from drop, I love it.
Thanks for being so mushy and wonderful Hipyo. Any advice on a good linear switch for the new Tofu65 2.0? I'm going for a deeper marbly sound profile (if that makes any sense).
Just ordered the monsgeek m1 a few days ago, which I believe is your upcoming vid you mentioned. My shipment got returned to akko and they haven't responded to anything yet, so hopefully you'll have better luck. Appreciate the good reviews man!
Just ordered a keychron v1, polycarb plate, durock lavenders, durock v2 stabs, durock films and some higher profile double shot PBT keycaps. Thanks for your content it was super helpful
Agreed on Keychron V version - really interesting keyboards!!!
I bought the Keychron Q3, but decided I need to keep my wrists working for the coming decades, so I switched to the Keychron K3 (RGB + hot swappable keychron switches) and loved it so much I got another for myself (instead of work).
Initially I missed the keypad and the insert key (as a programmer I sometimes need it for a shortcut), but the keypad was just something I had to learn, and the missing Insert key can be used via `Fn + Del`. I now hate larger keyboards (like the Q3) - they're just too chonkey for me!
Any plan to go for split or ergo keyboards? Recently looking for one with an ergo design, from budget-friendly options like Perixx 413 and 606 to I-can-get-a-new-phone-instead keebs like the Moonlander.
Also considering getting a Sofle60 but not sure I can get low profiles to sound good or quiet (for office).
Thanks for this. I ordered a Keychron V Something because it'll be the first one I've tried since my IT days in the 90s. I don't know if I'll even like them 😅
I picked up a Niz atom 66 a few weeks back, it's absolutely lovely 👌
You introduced Keychron to me, saved me the trouble of trying out keyboards and I got a K8 keyboard that looks like an old IBM for $67 (with shipping). Thank you for your content!
So far how has been going? Im thinking on getting a keychron but I havent really decide, and the K8 is on the list. I plan to use it for gaming and light office work
@@nameless7211 I use it for gaming and my work. I love it so far. I don't play many competitive games though so I can't speak to that. Its definitely the best for office work though.
Hey Hipyo,
Thanks for the video!
What are the best low profile portable keyboards for someone on a budget, won’t hurt my fingers and still have that amazing thock in your opinion?
Love the vid! any thoughts on the SKYLOONG GK75 from epomaker at $60?
I really did not get any conclusion regarding
1. The best keyboard
2. The best budget keyboard
I bought a keychron v1 just before you released this video. Glad to know I made the right decision!
Hey, I love your videos and it has gotten me to start to building my own. But, i have a question I have 60% keyboard and some of the keys dont work. The other keys are perfectly fine. In order for me to use the keys that dont work i have to press it really hard. I dont know if its my pcb or the switch. And again I lov your videos!
6:59 did make chuckle kicking bin over at the end 😂
This is one of the channels that is getting me into keyboard stuff and you also sound like Oversimplified sometimes thats a good thing btw.
Oh man the color palate on that Zoom TKL is incredible. What color frame is that and where can I get those key caps?
Edit: Thank you for including it later in the video lol
Thank you for this list Hipyo. & hey there Nola
Thank you hipyo for making end up in the rabbit hole of mechanical keyboards, I bought a Keychron V6 barebones because of your recommendation of Keychron. So thank you for your very informative and helpful videos, but you also suck for making me love mechanical keyboards. I can no longer accept anything but the one I built or the very best.
when will you check out Nuphys Halo65 and 75? I think its worth a look as its still quite cheap prebuilt, hotswap with nice stock keycaps too
Hey Hipyo, you should really look into Nuphy, its up and coming, and beating Keychron in many aspects! I just ordered Halo75 of their lineups, and I am excited for them to arrive!
I like the selection Keychron has. I've not seen any other place with that many layouts available where you can guarantee the board will be decent quality.
Nola love
Any pointers to a video on keyboards with numpads? there's so few videos on the subject. I think a lot of people (including myself) would like to see some more options at different price ranges since we need them for the softwares we use for work etc.
In December 2022 I built my very very first mechanical keyboard using RK71 and AKKO Lavender Purples. Then this month I ordered a lube kit and managed to clip and Holee mod the stock stabs and lubed the switches for the first time ever. It turned out great, especially for my first build! Next, I will be building something for my boyfriend as he got fascinated by my process and the final keyboard.
Thanks to Hipyo and many other keyboard channels!
Bought a Keychron K10 as I needed something mechanical, backlit, and wireless for both Windows & Mac. Ended up swapping in Boba U4 switches and YMDK pudding keycaps. Moving that to my living room PC and am putting together a K10 Pro with Boba U4s and Drop Skylight keycaps. For full-size wireless mechanical boards, Keychron is the best (and one of the few, admittedly) available!
As an avid OSRS player, had no idea you built Settled a keyboard. The HCIM logo in the corner is incredible!
Got this keyboard about a week ago and love it so much, thank you for the recommendation
Now that's a thing I never knew I needed--- lubing switches.
Personally the V1 from Keychron was the one for me.
I bought one, and after testing it, bought a second one right away and ordered some keycaps.
Hipyo you are mushy and wonderful...thanks for the review. I'm going with the Q5 Pro with Banana switches and pray I don't go down a rabbit hold brother.
Hi hipyo tech keep up the good work I just had one question if you had to recommend one keyboard too your viewers what would it be?
Hi, great short. can I ask you what are the switches you ve put on your standard custome keyboard.
I have a qk65 and a gmmk pro. I love both. The gmmk pro is actually pretty damn good. Just get new stabs. Ez. poly plate. Sounds amazing. Both the qk65 and gmmk are good buys.
I’m new to your channel and all I can think about is how bad I want to build one now. I’m debating between the NJ-80 and the Zoom Tkl and need help
