ceramic with legends would probably be the best sounding, per a couple vids i eyeballed and eared. but idk. i'd like a pbt vs. ceramic vs. aluminum vs. wood vs knee vs. glass vs. glarse vs. switch
lmfao "kneecaps"
the ceramic ones are alot cheaper too
there is also how they feel when typing not just the sound
The whole two piece design between the cap and crucifix is just a really bad. And qc seems bad they look soooooo cheap and bad.
@@philipp594 what ceramic ones? I’ve seen some videos and they look decent. I don’t looove the way the backlight bleeds so much, but for those who like that Pudding type look, I’d say they work fine
Be careful with carbon filter. Even though activated carbon used in the filter has low conductivity it still got some so it can cause shorts if you don't put a layer of tape of some other non-conductive material (like paper) in between the PCB and the filter.
Again, the chances to short is very low but they are not 0.
bruh it was a joke
Chances of anything happening are always not zero
really curious to how these would sound with clicky switches... id imagine every key would sound like dropping a penny, and i think that'd sound cool (for the first few minutes before it got annoying)
I love your avatar. It's adorable!
They sound SO COOL they have a little metal ping to them as the rise and fall it’s super satisfying
@@EvocativeKitsune i think it's changed since this comment but ty!!!
@@Goigigandfriends they really do sound cool, but also loud!! I'd love to try one tho
Anyone else find themselves suddenly binge watching this channel after you found it yesterday? Because I’m on that journey right now and have NO regrets. Also…hope silly man Alfred gets his rent paid in the end
I have these and the only warning I would offer is in addition to one mentioned below - the machining isn't perfect. However, this is clearly mentioned this on the product page so there's no way a buyer could ever complain they didn't know (RTFM and all that).
Anyway, the additional part is that the slightly imperfect machining means that yes they don't fit every stem perfectly but it also means you have to squeeze some of the keycap crosses to make the fit a bit tighter or, the opposite, use a tool to make them slightly wider. Across my entire set I've had to do that 8-9x now and while that would be annoying for some, I read the product page and was expecting it.
Another interesting point is that because they're metal, they seem to expand/contract and hot/cold conditions. I suspect this is the case because a keycap I've modified to fit still pops off when this room is really warm but stays firm when the room is cold. I can't see any other explanation than the metal itself expanding and contracting.
Oh yeah and the loose keycaps do "ping" a bit straight out of the box. That issue goes away when they're fitted properly, though.
I can’t imagine how much these are gonna resell for
They look beautiful and probably the price is justified by what it takes to manufacture them but I would never spend so much for a keycap set, even if they provided a unique typing experience.
I personally love metal keycaps. They work great in high humidity and warmth to cool you down
I'm not a keyboard enthusiast so I guess I don't "get it" but those aluminum keycaps look and sound beautiful to me. Maybe not worth the premium but damn they are sexy.
i personally kind of really like the spacebar too
The current popular trend for keyboard sounds is a soft yet deep sound, often described a a thock. The clicky clack and ping are still noises you can get out of a keyboard, it's just not as popular anymore and there's no problem with wanting one particular sound for your own personal keyboard.
I think if the letters where cut out they would be pretty cool. The LED lights would be able to show through the letters.
I believe that would lead to fingers being cut if you don't wear gloves unfortunately
Why would you make this entire video and not once talk about if they feel nice to the touch, that's the whole deal about using premium materials.
You triggered my guy?
@@genesisfan029no, the entire point of keycaps is to make them comfortable and nice to touch, not to change the sound
@@AtPurriits mainly to change the so7nd
@@AtPurriThat sentence kinda proves how little you know about keyboards.
@@Blean755 did you know that there are different types of keyboard nerds? For example nerds that dont care about the sound and care about the performance?
i still dont understand how people dont see the value in this when they buy literal plastic.
still waiting for those low profile magnesium alloy keycaps
"Was it necessary?": Every single custom keyboard.
“Not everything is necessary” : me trying to sound wise
keyboards aside, i think a chiropractor would be way better for scoliosis rather than surgery cuz of the therapy and stuff after surgery
just a suggestion tho 🥰
Wtf these are the most beautiful keycaps I've ever seen.
The legend finish on my backspace and left shift are very rough....I'm considered taking some like 3000 grit sandpaper to them or something...maybe?
If someone makes a set of e-coated metal keycaps I might be buying.
What would be the point of e-coating these? They aren't steel.
@@bananabread7641 It would look cool. That is the only reason.
I used to love the keyboards that came with Apple G5/G4 computers back in the day. The big clear one with the black key caps.
it seems like everybody hates clicky switches. I think it is because MX based clicky switches are really bad... but once you try something different (alps or buckling springs) that are actually good and properly clicky, you fall in love with them.
carbon is conductive... good thing you did the tape mod...
I need brass keycaps
also, machined carbon steel
also, doubleshot: steel for the body, porcelain for the seethrough bits.
Yeah I'd love to se a video of keycaps and switches and keyboards combinations!
that space bar with that alu keycap sounded like someone tapping on my window at 7 am for some oreos
I'm still Using the Gateron Pro Milky yellow and I love them
i would suggest looking into eletroplating plastic for the 'diy' caps, just spray with conductive spraypaint and electroplate away, will need sanding and polishing afterwards, but would work, ToyPolli uses it to place chrome back on plastic toys
Would look good ascetically, but you wouldn’t get the sound of the metal, so there’s that
1:47 "First, it's from Geonworks in Korea!" [pans over to the keyboard with a "made in China" sticker]
Dont the keycaps around the ones you're pressing also affect the noise? the sound reverberates all around the key, so you'd want to at least put the same types of keycaps around the ones your're testing to more accurately test the sound
I'm pretty happy with my Redragon Horus. Low profile, short travel, double-shot key caps. I'm amused that it came with eight spare switches...so far, haven't needed to change any of them, but it's only been a few months. Feels much better than my Corsair K70 Lux on my desktop...and weighs so little compared to the Corsair, which is important, because I always put the keyboard on my lap. Well under $100, too. I think I'll replace the Corsair with another Redragon keyboard soon, if this one continues to behave this well...not to mention the mouse. My Corsair mouse is giving me trouble with the wheel, but the Redragon mouse has very good behavior so far.
Hey Hipyo, what’s your favorite and go-to switches for best sound?
The sound of that spacebar is a war crime.
Hey hipyo you should try the ilovbee i61 it has full hotswap for 30 dollars
This was a trap 😭 I knew it, its a rabbit hole, the mechanical keyboards 😭 can't quit
Hipyotech likes THOCK. I like THEEK.
aka laptop silicon or whatever type keyboard. My god are the keys so nice!
I’m leaving a comment cause I like this style of content and you told me too.
Tbh the real reason I wanted these was because I want official Olivia's. That's it. I just want a rerun, that would be great LOL
Thanks hipyo! You’re a life saver
Hipyo: see told u weed get there, it only took 4 mins!
Me: but.. its been 5
i think those keys look beautiful even with the lower light
I GTO scholiosis also
bro caught me off guard with the "thatswhatshesaid" LOL
Somesteven is drooling right now
Knee seems good. Where can I buy it?
Mmmm yes metal Olivia’s part of your everyday keeb breakfast
Sounds like you dropped a penny but feels like you dropped a few hundred dollars.
At least it’s Cheeto-proof
The fact that u could of gone to the store and found the milk alley to get ur dad back with 400 dollars
it was the silver alphas that stopped me from getting this particular set but i love the sound of alu keycaps so i got the aluve version that released recently.
“Friend” you gotta make an announcement hipyo
Thank you for keeping me up at 4am
The johnny skit is actually him being a schizo and seeing keanu reeves with a silver arm
Nice, I helped HipyoTech cure his scoliosis.
Nice now do a dirt keycaps
when u said sub, the edges of the sub button lights up XD
so i avoided clicking it, it might be nuclear
The best sounding keys were hands down the knee
Doing my part to heal your scoliosis 🙏
Amazing intro
i dont think you can say much about price on these because yes they are expensive but those are pretty much the definition of "entusiast" especially if you think about how some gmk caps are in same price range
Not these. Have you seen the QC specs?
There's other manufacturers for Alu Keycaps that truly are enthusiast.
Thank you hipyo
Woooo wait a dang minute. I thought this was a family friendly channel? He’s linking lube in the description… 😝
I think this would be best for your novelty keys, not all your keys? 🤔
legend says i am still waiting for the sound test
What is the case name?
ha no i play minecraft too ;v;
also curious how it would sound with gateron milky yellows?
+1 for the super key.
Hmm, I think maybe the knee sounded best, where can I get those knee caps?
Hi! Not sure if you heard but higround did a colab with sonic the hedgehog and I think it would be cool if you saw if higround improved on their keyboards any.
Sounds amazing!
I just want the cold feel tbh
Try diamond keycaps next
try them with blue switches
Metal key caps sounds very good tho
Hey guys, idk if he has said this before of not but what is Hiypos real name?
Hipyo
Tried my friend’s alumizu and they’re not bad ngl
What are the best white kecaps
You should make a keycap from entirely artisans.
your epomaker refferal link in the description is broken
Commenting for your descent to madness
You should have done metal keycaps and plastic board
I just love this chanel
got me thinking. why not electroplate plastic keycaps?!
lol, i heard the airshow too.
Will these keycaps fade overtime? I would like to get my hands on one set but scare if the legend or color will fade fast
Sadly, there seem to be no low profile ones available :(
More knee sound tests pls
i dont know if this is a joke but if it is it is funny, 2:20 (A little made in China sticker) except hipyo says its from Korea lol
Instead of the Husky Switches you shouldve done the metal plated tecsee switches.
This makes me think--Can you please make a keyboard with DOTS as keycaps??
I have scoliosis too! Do you have an s curve or a c curve?
thank you sir
The joys of filming during SeaFair 😅
just started vid n wanted to say Hiiiiii Hipyoooo
Hey Hipyo try these keycaps with the anubis switches for the ultimate thock
I like PBT keycaps the best.
Cutting aluminium foil with scissors is a great way to dull the blades really quickly.
Honestly they sound way better than I expected; I thought they'd all sound like dropping pennies.
Do a custom of ik75 pleasee
THE SPACEBAR SOUNDS LIKE A LASER GUN.
11:18 if you just watered to hear the key caps
Can you customize feker ik75 v3? Thank you.
They look really fancy. : )
Metal generally gets really cold if the temperature outside is really low, am i the only one wondering if these keycaps would feel freezing to type on when its cold?
If it's that cold in your room you probably should have spent money on heating and not keyboards.
@@yuki3485 I have heating, I just don't want to waste electricity by using it 24/7. Also, I haven't even built my first keyboard yet lmao I'm still looking around.
