I can see the lettering on the other keys fine, but it's basically invisible on the light blue keycaps. Maybe it looks different in person, but that's a major turnoff. And the internal weight is just hilarious. I can see that being justified by, "Well, it's for ergonomics so that the board doesn't slide around", but for $160, you could accomplish the same thing by giving it a metal frame.

As you so correctly point out the primary audience for this keyboard is not people like yourself, keyboard enthusiasts or afficionados, but rather a segment who generally know little about keyboards as a whole. For them "tactile" doesn't have any bearing in the sense it does for you, it's not a way to describe the function of the underlying switch below the keycap, but rather it is something that is connected with the sense of touch. This is something which holds true for all keyboards, whether they are mechanical, membrane, or even micro switches or dome switches, it's all tactile. A touch keyboard, or an on screen keyboard on a phone or a tablet, is not a tactile experience though. So his marketing material, at least in this aspect, is spot on, just not for you. This is the problem with terms which means different things in different contexts. For instance, I have worked as an interaction designer specialized in tactile experiences, I have never once designed a keyboard. Tactility is an extreremly broad field. Thanks for your videos Hipyo, they informed me a lot when I bought my first proper modern mechanical keyboard, though the experience of trying to find good keyboards with an ISO layout is an absolute nightmare. Have you had any thoughts about making a video about ISO layouts and the best keyboards in various budget segments? I ended up going with the Keychron K10, as it was one of the very few full size keyboards with an ISO layout, that also had bluetooth and hotswap, that I could find.

Glarses cameo was amazing. The concept of productivity can change from person to person. For myself, productive keyboard has to be atleast a TKL due to needing a quick access to arrow keys and home/insert buttons + f-row. I would pick pressing only 1 button for a thing I need instead of multiple. It's all preference, but as mentioned 60% doesn't sound like a productive keyboard size.

Only a quarter way through while watching. On the "tactile" front, I'll admit the custom keyboard i built myself uses the clicky Kahle greens (sage? I can't remember but they're green and clicky) alongside some low profile keycaps from Aliexpress of all places on an Epomaker (oh jeebs.... Just realised i made so many keyboards in my quest for the perfect keyb that i can't remember which one i used... Damn you, Hippyo, and your vids getting me into this!) Anyway, there's something nommy to me about that click-thock, so if he's talking about switches i can understand what he means (it's still a warcrime during game sessions using VOIP, but my work productivity has increased dramatically) Edit: I just got to the switch part. *LINEARS*!?!

I found this video to be quite disappointing, bordering on populist and sensationalist. While your points about the keyboard might be valid, I believe the approach you took was rather unpleasant.

Explain how this video is "populist" and "sensationalist" please, as I don't entirely understand how those words are meant to be taken. Also how was the approach unpleasant, just curious.

In my opinion, the video comes across as "populist" and "sensationalist" because it exaggerates the keyboard's flaws early on, even though the creator later admits that the product isn't that bad. This inconsistency undermines the critique and mirrors the very marketing tactics being criticized when he claims Ali exaggerated the keyboard's marketing. Additionally, the video seems to be leveraging Ali Abdaal's audience for views, which seems hypocritical given his critique of Ali for using his own audience. Lastly, considering the channel's size, the production quality-script, editing, etc.-doesn't meet the expectations I have for a KZfaqr of this size.@@hypr7213

LOL I remember when Ali started being talked about. He claims to be a productivity expert, but looking at what he actually makes money from, I'd say he's a frauductivity expert.

No matter what, I need the full 104 key configuration, and without the sections scrunched together. (and I've been admiring the unicomp PC 122. LOVE those F-keys).

Best Hipyo video ever

Best keyboard I ever had all around was an original Ducky Zero with reds. 10 years and still going. Best all around I’ve gotten recently was a Durgod. Only bought it because my machine gun typing on regular reds was annoying my co workers, and it was the only one I could find with silents for a reasonable price on short notice. Bigger issue for me is always the caps, and I prefer cuppy caps, so I have to buy a key cap set.

Hey Hipyo, I know all about baking and it's cool to see a baker that takes amounts very seriously.

I'd love a Hipyo keyboard if you ever did I just got a SK71 it's definitely great for the budget.

$160 sounds like MonsGeek M1W money to me. Full alu build, 75%, gasket mounted, great keycaps, *amazing* prelubed Piano Pro linear switches (I like them better than yellows), an awesome cable if you prefer that, and a lot of mod materials provided and foam preinstalled, it really doesn't cheap out on anything. I'm typing on one right now! Not sponsored.

It’s super funny how he was like “this keyboard is SUPER light and portable” and then he glued big metal weights inside it

as a CURRENT Dr in UK I can tell you Hipyo that I bought a Nuphy75 and took it work and it blew everybody's minds - luddites the lot (including me)

You should review the Yunzii AL66! It is what this board should have been, but about $60 cheaper. They are readily in stock and really great value.

@ciaojay7025 3 ай бұрын

The metal weights are kinda nice to make the board more heavier instead of using a silicone and make it more muted. But I would rather buy a Tofu 2.0 for that price or just wait for Neo65 r2 for a cheaper price

@frederickmichaud6783 3 ай бұрын

I’ve watched Ali since almost the beginning and I got into the hobby in part because of him, with a IQunix F97. That was a good board :) maybe he should have done a collab with them

@shogunlone4070 3 ай бұрын

hi hipyo! nice video! also i have a keyboard that i think you should review. the tecware phantom is a mechanical keyboard that sounds absolutely amazing and has a starting price of only 45 dollars. i really thing you should try it out and maybe make a video about it
