Its temporarily for sale on Wobkey (Ships in July): www.wobkey.com/hipyo

When the case foam was removed, the sound kind of reminded me of rain drops, which seemed pretty fitting

The fact that they even showed you their production and business plans is insane lmao

Don't inhale the copium because you dropped $300 on your build, but instead, be VERY glad the Rainy75 exists. It gets people into the hobby without the unnecessary headaches of finding in-stock keycaps, reluctantly paying for overpriced barebones kits or the "fun activity" of find that solder joint that just fried your microcontroller. Hopefully there will be more options like the Rainy75.

75%, VIA compatible, in stock, 135$ full built, that's insane!

I really appreciate that you included the name of the keyboard in the title unlike many other videos.

As a Linux-User ... VIA is pretty much a requirement for me. I hate that big companies can not be bothered to support Linux, or opensource their protocols so at least the community can jump in. I love that Via and the standard it represents is taking a strong hold on enthusiast boards. (tbf, the overlap between enthusiast and linuxuser is prolly a lot bigger then you razer-gamer and linuxuser). But thanks for mentioning that, it really helps us linux people to find what we want.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="826">13:46</a> even a bug wants to get that keyboard? impressive

This keyboard sounds insane, It scratches my brain in the right places... I NEED ONE

Mine finally arrived today. I was amazed by the stock sound. I love the switches.

This keyboard first released on 11 nov this year in china, I managed to grab the silver non rgb variant and it’s the best keyboard you can find below 200USD easily. I got mine for about 50USD actually (yes they cost as low as 50USD in china).

Nice entry, both versions are attractive, stock violets with foam and without. Just different in how they are sounding. It's also nice new builds are produced made of full metal in lower than usual prices. Which latter means that the status of elaborated metal being "better" and more qualified than plastic or other, has more been one issue of manufacturing process and marketing strategy than one practical daily necessity. Using now three different keyboards, only one carries an aluminum case and is a scissor switches one, a Satechi Slim X1 of 69 euros purchase a few years ago. Good job btw.

I first starting watching you to learn what the hell is thock. Today I opened my Montech MKEY Osaka Castle Dark. It is heavy, it is beautiful, love the artsy keys, and damn is it quiet. I have the dust cover on it. I'm happy and strangely proud of my keyboard. Strange but true, thank you Hipyo.

The board sounds about 9000x times better with foam than without. Also, i hope they make a key-pad, cabled version for a similar price and Keychron might get actual competition.

Waiting patiently for this to come in stock because the stock sound is just so damn good. All I gotta do at most is tune the stabilizers if needed but everything they did to get that sound profile is just music to my ears.

Love you hipyo! I bought an RK61 a while ago and I haven’t yet modded it but yesterday you inspired me to tape mod it and holy cow it helps.

Wow, it sounds awesome stock, and I LOVE the pastel blue color scheme! And it has all four HOME, END, PGUP and PGDN keys instead of tossing one of them out for a gimmicky knob or LCD. OH and of course thank you Hipyo for your awesome Vidyo!

I think you might have forgotten to mention that the Pro version has an FR4 plate instead, making the sound test not a fully accurate comparison between just the switches. I knew FR4 versions existed, but I didn't know they were moving forward with making that the default for the ones with steel weights. Extra plates are listed on their website, but I hope those are available for the kickstarter because if not that really eliminates the Pro model for me. I'll buy both plates, but if I'm stuck with just one I want the soft and RGB-friendly polypropylene.

Good video timing! I just built my first keyboard like an hour ago after watching your videos to learn about it :)

As someone who has spent easily over 1k eur on just 2 keyboards, I absolutely hope they can deliver on everything they promise. More competition is always great for the consumer. I've also been recommending people keyboards a lot and it can sometimes be really difficult to find something that caters to their preferences, especially when they want something that isn't your avg budget 60% / 65%. It would make for an absolutely beautiful recommendation for the 75% / TKL range for newcomers. Also I think they mainly only went with linears because tactiles can be so different. For example, I love heavy tactiles (WS Heavy Tactile / White Jades for example) but I really don't like medium / light tactiles. I also know a lot of people love medium or light tactiles, but find heavy tactiles too fatiguing. They probably couldn't give people too many options (possible logistical nightmare) and also didn't really know which tactile to go with? I think the ideal option would be something like Durock T1 or equivalent, which is a medium tactile and should have a wide enough appeal for tactile enjoyers but I don't know for sure. Linears are pretty safe on the other hand. The biggest difference when it comes to people's taste is just spring weight, the rest is pretty minute (long pole vs short pole / material / sound etc) I tried a lot of linears and while I've had some I liked more than others, there weren't really any I thought felt bad unless they had actual quality issues. Either way, great video and I wish these guys both success and hope they will deliver on their promises.

Ok Hipyo, this keyboard has my interest. Great price, sounds great, 75% (turns out I need that F row for my game), hot swappable, and has the looks. I just wait until it comes in stock!

Since you asked the engagement-boosting question: I'll take the stainless steel weight over the glass one eleven times out of ten. Glass is a lot easier to break, and they last thing I need is a keyboard full of broken glass.

Mine just arrived today (blue pro, which I chose primarily for the battery life) and OMG it is incredible. The sound out of the box is shockingly nice, and as someone who is lazy I really appreciate not needing to mod it to get a nice sound. It's hefty af, beautiful, I'm beyond glad you made this video. ❤

I might go for this keyboard, this sounds quite pleasing

I prefer the mirror plate compared to the other one, even if its finger print magnet. It looks better to me 😊

Dont sleep on hmx switches. They make some of the best long poled switches, very little wobble and some of the best factory lube i have seen (even better than bsun's factory lube job) . The hyacinth v2s are one of my favourite linear switches to date

Ngl this is an insane budget keyboard. I'm really impressed by the breakdown

I got my keyboard this week and ordered from this video. Its giving me ASMR when I type, thank you for this!

what do you guys think between the battle of budget 90$ builds?? The Rainy 75 or the Womier sk71??? Please respond I look forward to it

Between this and the monsgeek m1w, the yunzii al71, the womier71 or the ciddo v75 which one you guys would recommend?

searching for a good 75% for the past week and then seeing this uploaded just an hour ago was insane

I like the sound of the switches on the more expensive one more, but I love the reflective glass backplate too much

I loved the muted/deeper/a bit muffled sound of the dark one. I'm guessing they have no plans for an ISO-Nordic one?

Which is better womier sk71 or the rainy one

Daaaaaaamn it sounds amazing! It's like typing with ceramic dominoes dropping on a cloth covered solid wood table. The more expensive switches still sound nice, but more like nice ABS dominoes on a paper towel covered wood veneer table. No foam gives it a nice old school sound, but it definitely loses the premium tone. Just case foam makes it sound more like most mid range mechanical keyboards I think. Overall seems like an awesome keyboard for the money.

Thanks for the review!

When will this be in stock?

UPDATE: The keyboard came in over the weekend and it sounds so amazing. My wife told me it sounds fake, like a cartoon keyboard in real life lol. Probably the most satisfying piece of hardware I ever paid for to be honest. For those that want a high quality keyboard out of the box and not really a board enthusiast or customizer like me, get this board and never need to buy another board again. Maybe a second rainy 75 for work.

Great videos and channel Hipyo. Keep it up!! Also I am definitely going to get this

Hey Hipyo, I had my first foray into keyboard modding with a red dragon k552 that I got for free with a computer I bought. Following the videos I did the tape and the foam mod and it had already started sounding better with the blue switches. I then decided to get some akko switches and went with the silver pro v3. I wasn't paying attention to the fact that they were 5 pin instead of the 3 pin switches. So then I had to mod all of the switches to make them fit since I don't live in the States and returning them would have been too much of a hassle. All of the switches work and I am really glad with the thocky sound that it has now.

lol they got their publicity... the website now says ~'it'll be a limited run of 3k boards. subscribe to emails if you want to be alerted.'

M1W, Hi75, then this? what a year for Alu

W Video! Keep up the good work Hipyo!

I've never had a Kickstarter from a brand that already makes things fail to ship. It's a great way to judge how popular it might be and reach an audience who might never see it on Amazon.

vs the womier sk-71 aluminum keyboard?

Oh its a kickstarter… shame

Waiting for the amazon realease. Awesome keybaord!

I’ve come to confirm that I pre-purchased the pro and I did in fact get a email asking for what color I wanted and delivery. I got it in white since black was unavailable. Here’s to hoping I get this sweet sounding keyboard in april now that all the backing and extra stuff is done🙏

What I'd like to see from Wobkey: a 60/65% option, less flex cuts or stiffer board in general, a straight white base, more customization!

would you look at that its been 2 months since the video and the keyboard is out of stock everywhere I looked.

The rainy 75 is a beautiful keyboard and a joy to use. There is one large drawback: the switch for wireless/wired mode is on the PCB and the only way to access it is to remove the CAPS key. This would be manageable, except that the board doesn't charge when in wireless mode- only in wired mode. So if I want an uncluttered desk I need to also keep a keycap puller on hand to pull the key, flip the switch and plug in a cable whenever I want to charge it... and then reverse those steps to clear my desk again... a big pain. If anyone can work out how to mod it to get the switch on the outside (or apply some firmware patch that would let it charge while in wireless mode) that would be amazing!

on my buy list. also others made comparisons on ytube with QK75. insane value

Another Keyboard u can't really access when u live in the EU

Bruh where to buy

Just received mine from the Kickstarter after this video convinced me to take the plunge. Definitely not the Jan-Feb shipping date they aspired to. But damn, what a board for the price!

The height of the keycaps and bezels on this are lower and smaller than the Zoom 75, to me that is a HUGE plus from a typing standpoint as I don't like to use a wrist rest and probably why I use my Neo65 over all the other keyboards I have. In regards to the sound I would guess some louder switches with the foam could really make this sound great as would a higher end keycap set. But for that initial price this looks to be a steal!

Just got mine in. Typing on it now. Very cool and sounds great for my very first "Nice" keyboard. :]

I just got two Keychron Q keyboards, I really like them. What do you think makes this better specifically? I didn't like the pro the Q3 regular ended up being my favorite.

I was literally about to post on one of your reviews: "why can't anyone make a keyboard quiet and less than $150?" And then I find this video, I'm gonna take this gamble on the kickstarter. So tired of the loud "quiet" mechanical keyboards I've ordered lol. This Rainy75 just sounds beautiful to me lol.

wow, this thing sounds GREAT

The space bar sounds absoulutly insane

just received my rainy75 ordering from china, gotta say it is a great keyboard out of the box, stabs are well tuned, very suitable for beginner or if you are looking for a secondary keyboard. the default hmx violet sound a lil bit poppy and loud.. btw this keyboard is the most sought after budget keyboard right now in china and sold out for every batch for 3 batches already

Of course this video comes to me AFTER I just finished modding my RK M75 like what.

Ef it, I just signed up for the kickstarter notification & if it launches soon I'll throw it in my office at work where I'm still using a Logi. That bounce is worth keeping an eye on but at sub $100 I could rebuild it & it would be worth the price of the parts if flex was a deal breaker but I'm suspecting its not. Great video man. thx.

Im paranoid so ill wait a few months but this looks great man totally gonna cop one of it actually drops and is in stock for the price

shaking at you tearing the plastic and switches out of the foam and pbc like a maniac, that's pro reckless behavior 🤣🤣 but i love how thorough this review is

This looks like a perfect starting point as my first mega keyboard! Only lingering question is battery life; how long will the 3500mah last (Bluetooth vs 2.4 dongle). TY!

I think the Rainy 75 falls into the same category as GamaKay TK75 ($89). Although I would have liked the Gamakay TK75 to have a special backplate. It is just plain. Build quality is solid. Tactile switch options such as the Pegasus switches and truly silent/quiet. Out of the box, it is nearly perfect without any modifications. It does exactly what it set out to do and as advertised. Glad to see great options right out of the box for those that want to ease their way into customizing mechanical keyboards.

Love u Hipyo Tech bro

For the price, i might just buy a roll of uhmwpe tape for the flex cuts themsleves, then an extra thick tape mod on top(or bottom as the case may be) of that. Should even out the flex a little and still come in cheaper than every other keyboard i own

I just watched your thick vs clack video and saw this keyboard and want to buy it but it’s out of stock. I really love the sound of this keyboard prebuilt and it would also be my first ever owned keyboard. I think the only thing I’d change is the keycaps because they aren’t really my taste.

the sound is insane for stock

Gonna buy the dark grey/black when it comes in stock

I've been using this keyboard for about 2 months now (purchased from Iconlabs back in December), and it's incredible for a pre-built $100 keyboard. The HMX Violet switches were pretty well factory lubed along with the stabilizers, so it just sounds and feels great stock if you like the marble sound and dont mind very little flex.

I think paying the extra $15 for the bigger battery is worth it. I'm gonna be swapping the switches anyway. Can't wait for this thing to come in stock.

If you care about productivity and ergonomics more than sound, then the best thing about this board is the option of having a split spacebar. Unfortunately, you'll have to settle for the ISO enter key with the split spacebar option--unless you can somehow alter the plate because I think the PCB itself will support it. You also won't get RGB with the split layout.

Going from a royal kludge to this I got the kludge to experiment on and now I'm ready for something more I didn't wanna pay for the keychron and trust me I checked everything could find nothing saw this video and its perfect thank you

Just backed it. It'll be a while till these ship out but nonetheless I am extremely excited.

What do you think about the Arbiter Studio Polar 65? It has hall effect magnetic switches, is immaculately factory lubed, has good stock stabilizers, and is the best sounding stock hall effect keyboard on the market. The best part is it's on sale for $100 right now.

In stock will be on Amazon and supports QMK/VIA. Good luck any other manufacturers at this process point.

If you look up all your videos you always recommend what you've been sponsored from!

im currently using this exact keyboard that hippo has (Blue ecoat, HMX switch, chroma glass weight). And i have to tell you this thing is insane, the sound is super super good, the ecoating is really good (im scared to say this but i feel it almost better than the CW88 which is wayyy more expensive), stock stab is a-okay but because the plate is really soft, it flex a tons when i tried to remove the spacebar. Its tri-mode PCB does support VIA which even some big company doesnt do on theirs product (Looking at you QK, TKD), it also have the brightest RGB on any keyboard i have ever used. There are some problems you need to know if you want to buy this tho. The QC is not that great, i bought 2 for me and my friend through taobao and its completely fine but some others experienced bad QC, although the company did change a new one for them. And one thing tho, this thing sold out in like, 3 second when it first got sale on taobao at 11/11 so be sure to buy it quick haha

Howdy Hey! Happy Holidays Hipyo!

Well, I think this going to be on stock for sure, ordering from China to my place just around 60USD, sounds very comparable to QK65

I'm in the market for a wireless custom to use with my iPad in college!!! I really love the way this board sounds and looks :') though that on/off switch location is a bit cursed

This is exactly what I want to get..😅 and i don’t need to customize anything. Great!

A 75% keyboard with 2.4GHz and VIA support? This is almost exactly what I want. I've been holding out from buying the Keychron Q1 Max, because they'd seemingly the only people who support QMK/VIA. II think they could have easily cut less corners, made this about $150-$160 fully built and it would be damn near perfect. I'd buy that instantly. Hell, just screw in stabs and a non-sliced up board gets my sale. Regarding wireless keyboards, though, do you have to turn them on/off every time or do they time out or something?

This keyboard sounds so god damn nice i love it

Bought a q2 from keychron after watching one of your videos and it is the shit bro I bought some ink v2s also they should come in soon along with some pbt keycaps love the vids man keep it up👍

This keyboard is soooo cute! But there's just that little tiny ping sound I don't like which I think you got rid of when you did something to, but I'm not a modder at this point, so I wouldn't do anything like that, but besides that little ping I would buy it in an instant at $99. It matches my set up really well!

I am always looking for quality pink keyboards. My current keyboard is just a crappy little red dragon with custom keycaps. I will definitely be getting the pink rainy75

This keyboard sold about 7000 unit on preorder this month in taobao and its always out of stock after restocking

insane board 😮

Goes to show that current custom keyboards are over priced due to what was a small niche but is no longer a small hobby but a global phenomenon 😎

Would this be the best budget keyboard? Could you do a video of the best stock keyboards for budget, mid and high?

Seems and sounds like a real banger.

you should try the drunk deer a75, they claim a up to 0.2 customizable actuation point and is a 75% layout, i also heard it sounds pretty good.

Hey hipyo, will you do an updated video on these when these are in stock? I'm wondering if they'll fix the plate by then. This actually would be perfect for my friend, but I don't like the plate issue.

hipyo you make some of the best custom keyboard vids out there also you should try a keyboard from temu those keyboards cant just be that cheap

Oh no! I already spend my yearly keyboars budget on my Yunzii yz75. cant say Im not happy though, I love it
