From a marketing person to a fellow marketing person, I respect you calling this out for what it is at the end of the day. Mad respect.

no one: tik tokers: only 300 dollars?! what a deal!!11!1!!!

It might be a bit outside your standard content, but a video about actuation force and simple real world comparisons to things we can easily experience (pressing the button on a TV remote is about 40g, that's comparable to a light switch) might be a very informative video, and help people to understand what they're looking for.

It was only like a year or two ago when I got my Tiger Lite, plastic case, no switches or keycaps, for around $130 or so, and that was considered a pretty sweet entry keyboard. Now $130 for a decent fully built custom is considered bad value. It's really amazing how far this hobby has come and how quickly the industry is growing. Weirdest thing about that furst board to me is definitely the alu plate. Very weird to put in a plastic case.

i like the new style of video! longer form content with more of your opinion is appreciated. i also like how despite providing your opinion you stress that it's still preference, which can sometimes get lost. i'd love to see you continue this style of review!

Higround also has a "performance edition" of their keyboards that has magnetic switches and rapid trigger. Take a wild guess as to how good those are 😂

I hate everyone who said "first" with a passion.

Big ups to your new editor. Great flow, great shots, etc...

Its a good day when hipyo uploads 😁 Happy late Christmas and a happy new year Hipyo!

Really enjoy the new style - love the cut ins to your live opinion

I just love how obsessed Nola the kitten is with Hipyo it’s adorable.

Love the new style, Hipyo.

Alfred is my favourite alter ego. Not mine as in personal alter ego, but identifyable alter ego of a third person. Def needs novelty side channel.

I’m getting into keyboards and I just got my first mechs one and am now addicted to this Chanel. That is a good thing, I hope.

quality vid Hipyo ❤

Would highly recommend the Nuphy line of keyboards to review, in my opinion the best budget option for prebuilts right now. I have the halo 65 and compared to the Higround boards, I couldn't be any happier with it

For 130 you can get tri-mode Neo65 barebones... Throw budget keycaps and switches at it and get a much better result for the premium end. On the cheap end, a GMK67 would be the $30 basis for a build.

thanks hipyo for introducing me to the keyboard community, i have got a custom keyboard on christmas and i dont regret it a little bit and its all because of you

The different "Whooohooo yeah heh heh hehs" had me dying in this video...LMAO!

"There's no underglow? With a *clear* case? That you can *CLEARLY* see?!" Looking at you, Wind Studios.

Love your videos! Any keyboard recommendations for Macs?

I'm not deep into the keyboard niche but I've tried a few different ones and personally have landed on using an RK84 75%. MSRP around $90 but eternally on sale for about $70 and currently $55 on Amazon at the time of writing. You get hotswappable, Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless, USB C, per-key RGB with customizable onboard presets, and probably more stuff I'm forgetting. Your choice of OEM switches, white or black body. To me it feels great, I'm using the OEM brown switches. I got it for around $60-70 on sale so I spent about $15-20 on a set of XDA profile key caps and to this day it's my favorite keyboard ever. All together less than one of these TikTok keyboards for what's probably a far better experience.

White Flames have been around for a while - good switch and one of the first to include POK stems - but this is the first I've heard of HG being involved 🤷‍♂️

Good stuff you make!!!!

Never heard of them but I have to say I do dig the topo graphic and their aesthetics on some of the other keycaps and the frosted look is cool. Definitely don't like the branding slapped all over it. Give me the design without the logos haha. The price is crazy though for sure. Definitely a pass

Just got my womier s-k71 and it 's such an insane improvement compared to my ducky, switching the keycaps to xda profile really lowered the tone of the board though.

The cheaper version reminds me of the Euro 50,00 kits I bought in 2020 when I got into this hobby. Given the many budged-friendly options available now (and wireless, at least), I think they're both overpriced

I sure as hell hope 100 Thieves don't make their PC eSports teams use this keyboard at tournaments.

hipyo saying wooo yeah was amazing lmao

Considering what you can get for 150 and less these days, I think it’s very fair to call these what they are.

I haven't bought much of their base camp keyboards. But I did get their crystal clear line with the silent glaciers switches. (I think it's their own line cause I don't think I've seen other companies with this name.) The only other Higround keyboard I got was their Mewtwo Summit line. It looks nice, it feels nice, and I'm not a keyboard snob but more so an aesthetic snob so it works *for me*. But I swap back and forth between the Mewtwo and crystal clear ones as well as the Melgeek I one I got. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places but I thought for under 250 to have that custom-feel without doing the custom work is not a bad price at all. I could probably spend that same price on a fully custom keyboard but I suck when it comes to keyboard building on my own. I don't have that patience. And for me, if I can just pay out the labor then I will. And that's what I see when it comes to a prebuilt "custom" keyboard. And other companies I do look at that aren't as in the spotlight, they are going for 300+ and it's groupbuy and I have to still build it. For me, it's about convenience and getting near the same. I think if I were to get that completely custom feel as if I built a premium and had someone do it, I'm looking around 400 or more... That being said- the Higround softwares being different and unique to both their base and summit lines are annoying and an extra thing to have on my PC. ---- Though I never thought about Higround through their slogan. I like that they had a raised feel where many keyboards like the well-rated Nuphys on Amazon and such. But they just look too low for me, even with the flaps on the back.

Great video! Also there is some clips missing and blank screens saying “media offline”.

Love your villager minecraft empresion ❤❤ hipyo oooh yeahahah

FINALLY YOU MADE A VIDEO ON THIS

For anyone that wants a recommendation for a keyboard whether your broke or just know nothing about keyboards, I recommend the Royal Kludge 61 as it is hot swappable and sounds incredible. You can customize along the way the more you learn about keyboards.

One thing i thank you is for your review of cidoo 75 bought it love it and its cheaper but sounds amazing ❤

@HipyoTech Do you think you'd do a video on spring mounted boards such as the AKKO SPR75? its actually looking GOOD different from akkos "Premium" range (their former premium products have always felt a bit naff...) always wondered if you can use foam / pillow foam on them considering their unique mounting method and thought none other than you could work that out :)

Hipyo, can you try out the Leobog Hi75? It's a budget 75% aluminum board that sounds nice. I'd like to know your opinions on it.

I love your videos and I bought so much keyboards because of you

9:09 , nice editing hipyo

Hi hipyo I love your videos ❤

Finally someone actually do an honest review about these tiktok keebs

I have found few other content creators testing clicks, clacks and thocks copying the idea with "Eeeehuuuuuuh" 😃 so you are a pioneer 😁

can you try drunkdeer and polar rapid trigger keyboards?

Imagine not going down to your local thrift store and picking up a keyboard for less than 20 bucks couldn't be me.

Just got a budget custom keyboard for Christmas, lubed all the switches with Vaseline, and it sounds amazing! Please try Vaseline Hipyo!!! (After a few years it can damage the switches tho)

ALFRED NOOOO, NOT THE TIK TOK KEYBOARD😭😭

The keycaps are a dyslexic nightmare. Clear and easy to read letters are always what I go for in looking for keycaps. I occasionally look down to see what I'm typing. I'm never the best at it. If I saw more squiggles than the red squiggles under words with easy to mix up letters, I would probably pass out from exhaustion.

howdy hey, hipyo! im getting my first custom keyboard and dont know which one to get! i really want the "Akko PC75B Plus" or the "Keychron Q2". what other keyboards do you recomend?

Hipyo, you should check out the VGN ATK68 next, it's basically a rapid trigger keyboard that *performs better* and *sounds better* than the Wooting 60HE. I got one and it's actually really good.

Higround needs to hire Hipyo at this point

i think most people who don't know about keyboards first look at the design more then the actual keyboard (like switches, 60%, 75%... or just the beautiful keycaps) and the price, people sometimes get confused and think that 300$ is good, don't get me wrong its a good keyboard but i can find a better keyboards in 50$ and becuase of that many people get tricked buying bad and expensive keyboards like highground, and becuase of tiktok always blame tiktok ._.

wooting 60he is my personal choice and i feel like this and the drunkdeer a75 are on par basically on the best gaming keyboard if your not trying to build one.

yo bro, i have a question: Have you ever tried the LEOBOG Graywood V3 and V4, and if so, what do you think of them? Im planning on building my own custom keyboard and i think they are the one for me.

I’ve bought both the $135 lava rock and $235 akuma red gi thought the 135 was much more enjoyable initially but once I added extra foam into the $235 board and changed the switches to their ttc titan hearts ones I actually like it quite a lot but don’t think i would recommend someone buy one unless they are big fans of an anime or game series

I like the "in front of the camera" moments included with the voice over, but I guess the video editing software didn't like that missing media.

im not a keyboard guy but maybe a different material thickness or material in general instead of the alluminum could improve the sound? it works for exhaust systems on cars where Steel, Stainless Steel, Nickel alloys, Titanium and Inconel all have different notes. also the way the metal is shaped? be it bent sheetmetal, forged or milled from a block if you're feeling fancy.

For $135 you can get a Neo65 in whatever colorway you want customized to your liking. And it’s a GREAT board.

I gotta say... Never tried it, nor any other highround keyboard, nor for that matter any fairly expensive 60% or above. Right now as a DD i am using an about 70$ 40%, and i have to say it sounds quite good (imo obviously). About the Highround keeb, i think for the sale pricepoint of as he said 87$, its def fair. The keycaps (especially on the black and white one) are gorgeous (even better without logos am i right?), the sound is nice and overall its a cool keyboab. For the regular price.... well, i think the price-quality goes down a little.

You should try the Epomaker x Aula F75

3:50 nice voice crack lmao but great video

Yo i love the glarses style funny stuff 🖤

Can you do a review on the Kinesis TKO 60% keyboard? Just got it for Christmas and have to say is a great gaming keyboard with good switches.

Love your content Hipyo!

Howdy hey and happy new year! I hope that you will try many great boards in 2024.

Can you talk about the redragon draconic keyboard? Its quite budget. Love ur videos btw

What’s a good alternative , out of the box options ?

Nice vid mate

happy new year

"It's over Hippyo I have the Higround" - Alfred 2023

Could you do a setup/room tour video?

You should have put some typing from other keyboards in the same price categories. It would help show the differences in quality

Have you tried the newmen GM610, i brought one recently for work and is my first mechanical keyboard. I git it with brown switches and changed the key caps, It seems pretty good for £35.

Maybe I am wrong, but I think the Cidoo V65 is a better keyboard. I followed Hipyo Tech's advice, and bought a Cidoo v75 pro. I must say that it is really nice, solid, although Via is not fully compatible. Higround keyboards cost a bit too much for what they offer.

Hi Hipyo, i have a question. Will you please review the Flux keyboard when you can get your hands on one? I've just seen the promotion video and it seems too good to be true, impossible even. I would greatly appreciate it if you can do that. Thanks!

say what you want about highground but their black keycaps on the womier sk71 on a black friday deal legit ended up being my end game board as far as sound and feel goes, somewhat clacky, marbly, and creamy, all for less than $150 and wireless

Thoughts on the sk61 with optical yellow?

Day 1 of asking Hipyo to review a keyboard from alt customs

14:22 there's typo "dissapates" As for aluminum case to sound better, maybe EPDM foam tape would help?

2:48 💀💀💀💀 i love your vids btw

I would like to see some HE keyboard being test and compared like the Wooting, Monsgeek M1 HE, Drunkdear, soon to be Keychron Q1 HE

I love your videos!they helped me buy a keyboard [not Higround]

Hey hipyo, early happy new year already🎉 Are there any good keyboards for 20 euros with thocky sounding switches (was planning on getting V3 Lavender Purple Pro Switches on them, idk if any of this even is possible as i just recently started to get interested in keyboards

This is quite some attention to keyboard nuances. Has he dug into any Red Dragon keyboards? I'm curious what he'd say about their options.

how does nola not destroy your deskmats 😭😭 my cat LOOOOOVES playing with my deskmats...

I’m bout to get a Rk 61 is that good and if so what color switches should I get

The woohoo yeaeah 💀💀💀

I have purchased the cheapest and the most expensive one from the Pokémon collection and it’smore different than the one that you review right now on the sound and how it’s feels. If you have the chance to actually do a review in the Pokemon keyboards try it out because I have them and sound way different to these ones that you review.

not hipyo comparing my normal order at in-n-out to a bad keyboard 😭😭

North facing LEDs are the one and only.

Hipyo did you see the Wooting 80HE you gotta look at it if you're able to get your hands on it. the layout is... a bit different

Oh boy my first new video as a new hipyo tech viewer

hipyo doing devious things on tiktok?? 🤨📸

Yeah I have learned to not get anymore Higround after the Jujutsu Kaisen drop. Saving for the Wooting 60he

what microphone are you using for your vids

Do you guys use a wrist rest with theses custom keyboards?

Here's what I'm looking for. Where to get it? Full-size keyboard I like typing in silence, with zero bounce/flex to the keyboard. Tactile. Hot-swap. Shine-through (white or RGB is fine) I checked QwertyKeys to customize material/colors, but I have no idea what will work best to achieve what I'm going for.

I did order their DBZ collab stuff. Have to say their clothing is really high quality. I have just been getting into Keyboards and I did really like the keyboard I got from them, but diving more into the hobby it is really easy to see their overpriced. But if you have the money I'd say their collabs are pretty neat

8:10 but Hipyo, enhanced doesn't *only* mean "make better", in this case they clearly just mean they made it make more of the sound it makes. Bad sound, amplified.
