I found the WORLDS Quietest Keyboard SPONSORED by Varmilo: Use code "hipyotech" to save 5% v2.varmilo.com/products/minilo75/?ref=sNSCb14m8MLH1x

Maybe I am a minority but I feel like there is a massively neglected silent keyboard market. I am really not a fan of clacky keyboards, I am much more impressed by quieter keyboards than louder ones - especially when working in an office.

What's confusing here is that a silent keyboard is ideal for many office environments. However many office jobs require numpad usage, so why isn't this keyboard offered with a numpad?

Take this to an office

I'm very new to this hobby, but the thing that makes the biggest impact in quieting my own keyboard is present in every video, but never mentioned: what the keyboard is sitting on! I don't have a desk pad so I use layers of very thin packing foam cut to the keyboard dimensions. Have you ever done a video on eliminating the transfer of vibration from keyboard to desk?

Those Kailh switches look like they're a recolour to the Kailh HUSH switches I bought a while back. They're pretty nice silent switches and quite smooth as they're factory lubricated. They are definitely more complex than most other switch designs and it was a struggle getting it back together when I disassembled one!

If you are looking for silent switches I can highly recommend Outemu cream yellows (v1 or V2) or the newer jade yellows. They're dead silent and can be bought for like 15 cents a switch. The quality is like a Gazzew since they use the same molds. Throw them in a cheap board like a GAS67 or better a GMK67. Great board to carry to work.

I like that this one is stock! I got a similar sound from a Epomaker EK68 with Gamakay Pegasus switches I use for University. No modding needed, just switch a swap, and the switches don't feel squishy like usual silents

Keany Beany Chocolate from the Penn State University Creamery. All their ice cream is ridiculously good, I think the fat content is slightly higher than most ice cream, so it’s all creamier. Has ground chunks of cocoa beans, so gets that crunch but not with chocolate chips or shavings. So good

I just got this keyboard today, and it's really amazing! This video must've been enough to convince me to finally scratch the silent mechanical keyboard itch I've been having for a long while since using the MX Mechanical Mini from Logitech

that colorway is bomb I know there are alot of blue keycaps but with that bezel! also Josie is such a pure person.

Vanilla. Did the smell maybe come from the rubber piece? Thank you for showing us the internals. It is indeed an interesting design!

this one with the possibility to modify the case (especially the color scheme) would be so awesome, sadly all of these schemes won't fit to any other colors I have in my setup right now.

I just got one of these... and it indeed smells like cologne, lol

It sounds like raindrops I love it so soothing

Thank you Josie, you’re the best!! No really tho thank you for this video!! I’m looking for a new keyboard for college and I love this!

Hi hipyo, I’m trying to build my first keyboard I got the switches and the keycaps but where do I get the base of the keyboard to put the switches on? Thanks

Haha definitely looks like you could use some pry tools - or at least anything other than super sharp metal tweezers. 😂 But thanks as always for going the extra length to see inside!

Good morning hipyo! Thanks for uploading today!❤

Mr. Hipyo, get me this in ISO Nordic and I'll force all three of my kids to subscribe to your channel!

A brief history of Varmilo products: Most keyboards have only soldered PCB and the steel plates are hooked to a PCB by beefy steel hooks. Not only you have to desolder switches/LEDs, but If you try to bend steel hooks to holes' directions, you will scratch the surface of the PCB to the point of either taking out most of the mask away or conductive copper sheet showing underneath. Form wireless options, either only Bluetooth (cable is used only for charging battery) or Bluetooth+wire. 2.4 GHz is non existent and only few models have it. If the price for the product is decent, shipping price kills the whole purpose of purchasing Varmilo board. And I am not talking about 10-15$ shipping like Keychron has, I am talking about 30-40$+ shipping price. Quality control is either hit or miss. There are a lot of complains around the internet about either one of the switches not responding or one LED not working. From my point of view, when you have such a big variety of keyboards, Varmilo and Drop are not a keyboard you should purchase.

So not only is Josie part of your household, you're also living with Sue Perglue??!!?

That’s probably why they sent two.

Great sounding keyboard, might need one for streaming! As for the ice cream, I’m one of the lactose free gang so I always tend towards lactaid’s salted caramel ice cream. Never had any distress after eating a bowl of it, which has been great since I loved ice cream growing up, in spite of the crippling stomach pain lol

Just got mine! It's great! I don't even feel the need to tape it!!

built my first keyboard today. its got some issues, but i dont have the time right now to fix them. sounds pretty good for stock switches

Very cool. I want to see this gasket mount in other keyboards (+ easier to open)

I bought the Logi Craft keyboard just because its quiet and still has good feel to it. I wish there were more quiet keyboards to choose from, this video is perfect for me. :)

nice one actually! we need more of the quietest bluebell review! does it feel scratchy? how is the stabilizer?

How do I go about buying this keyboard? I’m having trouble understanding what to look for when I click the link in the description. Any help to guide me would be greatly appreciated :) I’m looking to upgrade my setup.

It's a really nice looking keyboard. I'm partial to blue and white themes, though I have an Asus Azoth that I vinyl wrapped the top frame in white carbon fiber and replaced the keycaps with a blue and white set. If it wasn't for the OLED screen, you'd never know it was the Asus Azoth keyboard.

I'm lactose intolerant, and I'm a sucker for blueberry icecream. Lactose or not. There's also some weird raspberry+salt licorice icecream around here that really hits the spot too.

Hello, thank you for this review. Does it have a full anti ghosting technology ? i'm looking for a very silent keyboard but for gaming so i need a full antighosting keyboard (not only on the stupid WASD keys like 80% of 'gaming' keyboards). Actually i use a corsair that someone offered to me, and it's a pain in FPS to have max 3 keys use at the same time. Do you know any keyboard matching these needs (silent and full anti ghost) ?

As a German who needs an ISO layout, I'm sad that most sellers with quiet keyboards like this only offer ANSI. ._.

my favorite kind of ice cream is taking all of them and mixing them into an unholy gray amalgamation

It looks like they sell the prestige silent switches now. What is the best metal frame keyboard you recommend putting these in? I def need wireless or bluetooth and backlight would be nice.

Hey @HipyoTech, the link in the comments for the keyboard no longer works. Have they already discontinued the keyboard?

what is the working force for that amazing switch? is it leaner as well?

is there a software for this keyboard for the RGB

@HipyoTech what do you think about the EPOMAKER SKYLOONG GK75? im looking for a custom one to be used during the work and also gaming (firt custom)

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy the switches separately from the keyboard? I'd love to get the mendozae themed case but with the silent prestige switch

Where can I get the drivers for this keyboard?

Hi, you seem to be a bit of an expert on keyboards. I just got a AJAZZ AK820PRO and when I press Shift and the number 2 I can't get it to come up with the @ symbol. All the other number keys work. Have you any ideas? Any help will be much appreciated.

Do you know any full-sized keyboards that will accept the Kailh PRestige Silent switches???? I haven't found anyone who has hot swapped for these switches and one person said they are a tight fit, but didn't mention what keyboard...

if u cannot take it apart, then how do u remove or change new battery if the one installed can no longer be used? or if the battery has started to bloat? weird

I'm hopefully starting work in HR next week and we have those cheap Dell keyboards, which are horrendous. With my first paycheck, this would be one of the first things I get to change my office space. I'll be sharing the room with someone and I think this would be a fantastic addition. Unfortunately, the Retro theme is out of stock but I'm hoping it'll be in stock soon. I can't wait to get this keyboard!!

Wow i love this one!!! I'm def in the group that wants a quiet keyboard for work meetings

Can I reprogram my minilo keyboards rgb with VIA app? I can't understand if it's compatible

"the shell is mostly plastic which could be a problem later" foreshadowing is at critical levels lol.

I ended up getting a RK68 as part of my work it budget and modding it with silent alpaca switches, I love my tactile clackity-clack but the silent switches are good for not aggravating the unenlightened thocc-deniers 😂

Quick question for the lovely Hipyo here: Can I use the ROG PBT Doubleshot Keycaps together with ws morandi (silent) switches or would that cause problems cause of the profile?

This keyboard is absolute heaven, worth every penny

I'm in need of a "silent" keyboard, as quiet as possible. How does this compare to an unmodified Epomaker RT100? Possible to for you to do a video on the top 3 or 5 library silent keyboards?

I have the keychron k4 v2, and I needed a silent keyboard for my videos. I did a lot of research into what components in a keyboard made the noise and I was surprised. Aside from clicky tactile switches, I was surprised to see that even linear switches made a LOT of noise. So I focused my attention on finding silent switches, there were a couple of contenders. Durock/alpaca, kalih box switches and one other I don't recall but durock dolphins ended up winning. I got 110 of them for $75 on Amazon and lubed them. They come pre lubed but are scratchy and lubing helped reduce this. My only complaint about them is, literally the only thing that makes them silent is a small silicone O ring thay is on the rails of the internal switch. So I thought, well I could just order those for my gateron reds, right? WRONG. I searched for hours and couldn't find anything about this small silicone gasket thingy for the rails and found nothing. I then attempted to swap them to my gateron reds and noticed that the durock dolphin switch rails had a small lip and my gateron reds didn't. So I installed them and moved on with my life. Only to fimd out I didn't like the 65 gram springs as my gateron reds were 40 gram. So I ordered 110 35 gram springs and I'm much happier but that's personal taste. I also foam modded my keychron k4 v2 case and it is basically silent. Oh and I added some foam to my space bar as it's hollow cavity echoed a lot! But now I'm super excited and pleased with my keychron k4 v2, I have to basically put my ear up to the keyboard to even hear the noise even when typing vigorously. My mic no longer picks it up and I've ordered kalih mute switches for my mouse and I'm praying they fit 😅. I'm using an evga x15 and I really like it but it's so loud compared to my keyboard now 😂

I just got this badboy and its ridiculous how silent and great this sounds its AMAZING. Thanks for putting me on Hipyo!! Only took a week-ish to get here from Shenzhen too. I agree the box does smell like perfume which is not bad I guess 😂😂

I just need the quietest keyboard so I can play games without my husband getting a headache or being kept awake

Do they make matching standalone number pads for these?

not gonna be so quiet after i lose 4 games in a row

Would it be possible to build a Keychron q1 pro with the Kailh Prestige Silent Switches and get it to sound similar to the Varmilo Minilo ?

I remember when buying a keyboard was easy. The cheapest keyboard that made the most noise, had the most buttons and the brightest LEDs. The good old days 😢.

After your tape mod, the keys sounded like a tropical rain falling on giant banana leaves if you were listening from inside the house, under a blanket. Some serious ASMR and dangerous if you had to write a paper. Fighting sleep with every paragraph typed.

Keyboard: completely and utterly silent. Doesn't even register on the mic. Hipyo: "I bet I can make this quieter!"

I bought these switches bc of this video. And its amazing silent!

Can you post a link to a silent or thocky keyboard 84 keys where numbers are lined up with f keys vertically. no diagonal BS division thing? i think YK74?

Appreciation post: Thanks for introducing this amazing keyboard!! I just bought it recently! Let me tell u guys, its definitely awesome and worth it. It would save your relationship with your gf/wife. Quietness: 9.5/10 (i dont think you can ever find any mechanical keyboard this silent) Typing feel: 8.5/10 (the switch is responsive and it feels real good. I play moba game alot. I used to hv razer blackwidows, corsair, hyperx keyboard. This is definitely one of the best as well)

Boss: I don't hear you working. Me: But I am, sir.

Where i can find de bluebell with kailh prestige silent in EU

Thank you Josie, you are the best

I think i need a video on how to build the world cheapest and quietest 65% hot-swappable keyboard known to mankind

Could something similar be done with the keychron v1 max?

...you might have saved me. I got a lovely RisoPhy keyboard, my first mechanical and my family have complained its too loud so doing the review for a quiet one might seriously have saved my ass

I tried searching up for the kailh prestiege silent switches but couldn't find them on Amazon. I guess it's only available from dedicated mechanical keyboard online shops or direct from Varmilo.

Throw some outemu silent switches on that board and show off the battle of nosoundingness :D Love your vids and the chill style. Actually, your last silent keyb video caused me to buy a mecha that instantly got torn apart and moded towards absolute silence. I bought some rebranded silent outemu switches from gamakay to put on my Mountain Everest max keyb, verry expensive gaming keyb lots of metal, cherry switches, dampening and it still felt cheap out of the box. I foam-modded it because the rubber between the plate and PCB was just...meh, tape-moded it also filled the bottom with as much foam as possible. + I glued in the absolute max possible amount of square nuts using double-sided tape, easily doubling the weight of the keyb to about 2.5 kg, clipped + lubed + band-aided all cherry stabilizers ....and re-lube all the outemu's, including the spring because spring ping af ... what a pain to do ... full-size keyboard 105 keys... easy 5 hours ... and a ton of weird looks from my gf .....but totally worth it. Added pbts caps its a different key now, silent as the varmilo keyb, and if someone tries to break in, I could also use it as a weapon. :D

Managed to take it apart without breaking anything thanks to this video

really wanna get the quiet keyboard, and wondering why you couldnt get the back off first when dissassembling it??

Does this keyboard support key remapping?

quiet keyboards deserve more love. at home I have some pretty thocky keyboards for my home office, but I take a full size niz EC keyboard with me to work, which is a godsend. Tape mod and kilmat mod, of course, but gaffers tape instead. It’s all I had left, but it sounds better to my ear. Also, butter pecan and lactose intolerant 💀

Man I love this channel! ❤

Howdy hey hipyo - any recommended pcbs for a Drop Moodboard - I hate almost all aspects of it - I think once I find a pcb I may be able to save it

Masking tape modded sounds great!!

Is it possible to get just those keycaps?

3:41 the board comes with double-shot *ABS keycaps.

Looking for a silent keyboard that had the number pad any advice

Finally a keyboard that won’t burst my eardrums

I like my keyboard noisy, but in a workplace where I'm on zoom calls and my clackity clacking is interrupting everyone, a silent keyboard is what I want.

Nice man, will you make a video on the iqunix keyboard you streamed a few days ago

ive been looking for a quiet mechanical keyboard. but still on the fence on what brand to get, or if i should just try a Keychron first, was also debating a low profile but eh.... but yeah the whole taking it to a studio office is something that's been on my mind

i love this. my big thing, though not a dealbreaker, is i like when my RGB shines through the letters of the keys. that seems to not be a thing in the keyboard enthusiast community though. could i just find keycaps that do that or would that not work? otherwise, i love this keyboard and the Retro just moved to the top of my list as my next keyboard.

I need that right now!

Buying one right this second FINALLY

Give me a Keychron and I will say: “good job taking it apart hippo”

I want these switches.. I love slient keyboards!

Suggestion: How it's made videos. Take apart something like a switch and explain what pieces give it certain properties I have a Content Linear Brown, which I'm assuming is a knock off of a Gateron Linear Brown. I made the mistake of assuming linear meant silent. Now I have a silent in hand. My guess was the noise came from the switch bottoming out and/or the keycap hitting the switch, but the silent one doesn't appear to be of a different construction.

I was looking for keyboard that I didn’t have to do much to and didn’t have to spend a lot on. I literally threw some outemu silent cream yellows on a prebuilt board and is very quiet to the point I use it in the library.

I would really like a review/test of the WS Silent switches!

Thank you, this is my keyboard jamb. Gaming noise from my keyboard drives my wife nuts. Thank you Josie you are the best!

Why don't these companies make 100% keyboards?

nice work varmilo

it seems that taking it apart and adding the tape has some how made it not silent as the last audio you can hear the keys compared to the 2nd last audio

Im not into this hobby but i think its also the way everything is not meant to be taken apart. If theres more space, they hit each other and make noises, if its tight enough without any spacing=each parts will not hit each other=no noise. I wonder if you losen everything itll start to have sounds
