Go Team Numpad! My Epomaker RT 100 is still my favorite keyboard! 1800 non-compact is way better than 1800 compact. The very small amount of spacing between the alphanumeric section, the numpad, and the arrow keys (which are displaced slightly downward on the RT 100) makes a lot of difference when it comes to touch-typing and knowing where you are as you try to hit arrow keys and go to the numpad. I will also say that when I'm using the arrow keys and want to hit Enter, it's a lot easier (and built into my instincts) to swing out my pinky to hit the numpad Enter key rather than shifting my whole hand upward and leftward to hit the alphanumeric Enter key with my index finger or whatever. That Zoom98 looked like a great option for someone who rationally likes and needs a numpad. It's a bit closer to a full size keyboard than I prefer, but it's a great start and I hope he's having a great time typing on that! There really is something to be said about the comfort factor in our human-tech interaction, as Taeha Types pointed out in one of his introductory videos.

I just built a Zoom 75 that's almost completely silent for work, and I'm going to get in on the Zoom 98 GB so I can build one for home. I really hate the whole GB model, but Meletrix has been so consistent about everything and they are so good about consistently updating and then delivering on time. Also, the Zoom 75 is easily the best keyboard I've ever built; I love how sturdy it is and the little screen on it is so helpful for remembering application commands because it has a notepad function; it's really cut down on the amount I have to Google.

@@Cheffamily Sure! I used Haimu Heartbeat switches with a POM plate. The Haimu come pre-lubed, but only very lightly with a bit of 105g0, so they are a bit scratchy because of the POM stems, so I very lightly hand-lubed them with Krytox 205g0. There is no need to lube the housing; just lube the stems themselves, including the outside of the stem "brackets" to eliminate the scratch. For stabs I used Owlab V2 Owlstabs. I lightly lubed the housing with Krytox 205g0 but applied a VERY generous amount of dielectric grease to the wires. The Owlstabs are expensive ($25 for the kit!) but they were TOTALLY worth it. Easily the best stabs I've ever used, and I hope to be able to get my hands on the POM-based V3 versions by the time the 98 arrives. I used the stock spring that came with the Haimu Heartbeats, but fair warning: they are heavy (62g). I like heavy springs, but I wouldn't blame you if you went lighter. I hand-lubed the springs generously with a cheap, off-brand 205g0 / 105g0 mix grease, but if you want to save time you can use 105g0 and bag-lube them or buy lighter pre-lubed springs. All you are looking to do is eliminate the spring "ping". I didn't use switch films; it's just not necessary with the Heartbeats. They are really well-made switches as-is. After that, I just used ALL the foam that came with the keyboard. I didn't need to tape mod it or put latex into the bottom of the case because the Meletrix shells ALREADY have so much material that they absorb noise. Thanks to taking the time to hand-lube, the keyboard is basically silent, with the exception of the spacebar that makes a very quiet "thock". I've gotten no complaints, but I may tape in some foam to the spacebar just to get really quiet. The feel of the Heartbeats is quite soft. They aren't "mushy" like most silent switches, but they are really ridiculous smooth and they don't have a noticeable "bottom out" with the heavy springs due to how they are designed. They are actually really unique and interesting switches, but you may want to try them out before committing to a build because they aren't for everyone. My wife likened the experience to typing on soft memory foam. I love it because I can type all day without my fingers hurting, which was a problem with the tactile switches on my last keyboard. You can use whatever keycaps you want as long as they are double-shot PCB, as the thicker material dampens sound. I used the XVX shine-through, side-print, all-black keycaps (the ones with the wave pattern are low-profile) because I work in a dark space and having shine-through legends is helpful to me. I do like the "stealth" look of the black SE with black-top keycaps for a work environment, and I don't want anything flashy or loud on a work desk. I'm also a fan of the $25 price tag for a set of 136 keycaps! I hope that helps. I'll answer any questions you may have. I'll be building two Zoom 98s, but I haven't settled on the switches yet.

I got the Keychron Q1, after lots and lots of reviews from Hipyo and some others. Thanks a lot for all this work Hipyo! ❤ There may have been some brands that might offer more for less, but Keychron has an excellent model range and availability in comparison. For example, I need a keyboard with Nordic ISO layout - that already narrows things down a whole lot. Then I needed it to be in stock, relatively affordable, and to not need much modding. I found a blue Q1 v2 knobless barebone at -50%. With some affordable end Gateron Pro Yellows and a Keychron blue and white PBT set, the total came to around 150€ including taxes and delivery. All I did to it was the "force break mod", and I'm very happy with the results. Really pleasurable to type on. I do miss my numpad, but my forearms really like the position more for both typing and gaming.

More than the numpad I actually miss shine through keycaps. The Keychron ones aren't, but on the other hand they are lightyears ahead in quality from the previous set I had. That was a Corsair double shot PBT set which is shine through but just not as nice to use or look at. That's the next thing I'll try to look at. Or maybe like a tiny keyboard light 😂

The second one in white I got for the Office (not to make other peaople crazy with clicky clacky sounds XD) with Gamakay Pegasus silent switches swap . And silent they are. Both are BT/Wireless 2.4GHz and wired compatible a great thing to have. They can run around 10 days on battery life with RGB off. it was something like 250$ for both (original target was 1 keyboard for 100$) yet I'm very happy I did.

I've been using the same Steelseries Shift keyboard for 15-20 years and never gave upgrading my keyboard much thought until I spilled a beer on it a a few days ago and it started acting wonky. When I took it apart to clean it for the first time ever I realized how crude and outdated it is. I ordered a Logitech K845ch full size wired keyboard with cherry blue switches that arrives Sunday to replace my dinosaur keyboard as a starting point. It's the first mechanical keyboard I've ever bought. Now I'm considering building a custom keyboard and the Zoom 98 is the one I'm most interested in at the moment. It's one of the few full size custom keyboards I have found and the price isn't horrible considering how much I have spent on the gaming PC I built and my monitors. Thanks for the video.

small keyboards look nice and all but if i'm ever gonna get one of those it NEEDS to be a TKL, so that i can buy a separate numpad and pretend it's a full-sized keyboard lmao

numpad is for me because i use the right enter all the time while my hand is on the mouse, it's basically just having an enter button on your mouse.

Hey Hipyo, Keychron K4 Pro and V5 (my keyboard, yes I NEED a numpad, heil the numpad) are 96% layouts as well. Just so you know. Love your content, it's perfect.. and Nola too

I use a numpad everyday for one task but it works so well that I also need a keyboard with a numpad😂

I've been using a cm storm quickfire tk daily since like 2014. It's my first and only mechanical keyboard and I still love it to bits. This video definitely makes me want to try building another though. I don't know the exact switches, but they are blue in color. I'd want to hunt down some louder ones though or at least nothing quieter. I find the clacks make it easier for me to "get in the zone" and not focus on everything going on around me.

I would love a video on keyboards supporting the ISO layout. Most of your videos cover ANSI-only boards, and you can't really use those boards when you live in Europe. Also, the variety on ISO boards sucks I really hope more keyboard manufactures get it together.

Oh buddy I've been down this road for a good year as well, I was typing on a JIS topre realforce I picked up during a trip to Japan forever, and I accidentally became unable to use ANSI enter. I looked around forever for a nice 75% iso with all the features I wanted. Zoom75 was the only thing i could find that checked all my boxes and it is super satisfying having exactly what you were hoping for in a board. What kind of keyboard are you looking for? Layout, budget, etc

I live in Poland and I always use ANSI so, your statemant that you cant really use ANSI in Europe is false :P

Leobog Ice Soul is ny favorite switch. Get it with a nicely weighted key and a well dampened case.

5:26 - Yeah...Same. I'm a grown ass man. I need all 100% of the keyboard. The fun size does nothing for my appetite. Nothing wrong with a cut down keyboard. Nothing wrong with 60% but its weird to me how its like almost rare to find a 100% mechanical in the popular/trending styles and brands. They always make 60% but rarely 100% as if 100% meaning the whole keyboard is not a standard layout anymore. Like if humans started having 2 arms and one leg by standard and having 2 legs became rare. And there is nothing you can do about it. All the sick styles are in 60%. I don't want my letters in the front of the bus and my numbers in the back. I don't want a segregated bathroom for my numpad. I want my numbers to be spooning my letters literally like dry humping. I don't want a separate lil numpad. Numpad all little like a baby. NOBODY PUTS BABY IN THE CORNER...Yet they did it...😢...they did it 😭 When you go to enter in a credit card number or a long integer...ITs so hard, to say goodbye to number keys

The type of keyboard that I want just doesn't exist. I want the weighted snap of a mechanical typewriter with the appearance and font of a Commodore computer (with a number pad), with letters on top of the keys and functions on the front of the keys. Finally, I want Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics engraved on the back.
