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!

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!

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.😄

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.

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~

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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 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!

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!

Hipyo, I need to start writing my phd thesis and the thought of doing it on a laptop keyboard gives me the shivers. I opted for a Keychron K10 pro with white backlight and brown (tactile) switches. Is this an acceptable option for lots of typing? Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about mechanical keyboards (apart from using them loads 20 odd years ago). Are there any key caps that would let the backlight shine through the symbols on them, so they are better visible in low light? Doesn't have to be anything fancy, I care about functionality mostly. Thanks lots!

It seems like tons of the boutique mechanical keyboards have backlights, but they don't have key caps that allow light to shine through. So you can see light coming through the gaps between keys, but in a dark room I expect you would not be able to read the key legends. I'd love to see a roundup of keyboard with well-designed backlighting. If it's RGB, it should have good software to manage it. If it's white, it should present as white and not blue or green or yellow. And above all, it should be practically useful and usable in low-light conditions.
