ive had a lot of keyboards in my life and the wooting is definetly up there. its one of the best sounding and feeling keyboard ive ever had straight out of the box. nothings pinging, nothing ratteling, nothings hollow and its a little thocky. Then again all of this is personal preference

The Azoth is what got me into this hobby, I was ready to mod it before it even arrived... So over the last 18 months since then I have built probably 9 or 10 custom keyboards, my latest being a QK75n which I'm loving BTW... it has a knob :) one of my son's though is still using the Azoth which is great board IMHO, our has had pretty much constant use since Jan 2023 and never missed a beat. Recently he wanted a heavier switch I swapped the WS Morandi which had been in it since last Aug to WS Heavy tactile and it definitely thocks!

@rambus-kc2zo Ай бұрын

The Super Loobed Storms do sound deeper, I like it very much even with the obnoxious click. The Azoth really looks good, love the aluminum top. But you're right, WAY to expensive for what you get. Thanks for helping me get into this hobby, I always look forward to your vids!!

@R3AL-AIM Ай бұрын

I took an old Vengeance K70 and did what I could without desoldering the switches. I honestly love it. Aluminum top, I like Brown switches, lazy lubed them, put electrical tape on the PCB, got some pretty decent PBT caps off Ali... I prefer a 100% board, having the volume slider is a thing I like and I don't mind static lighting/non-RGB. The blue is subtle. Considering I got the board as a gift and the whole thing cost me $30. It was a good learing experience before going into building my own and saved me the $$$ for rn. I have a type test of it on my channel. For $30 🤷

13:05 after switching from a couple gaming brand keyboard to finally getting the Akko HE keyboard (YotD) I can say that Hall effect absolutely doesn’t make you better, but it does feel a lot better to type on AND sound a lot better. From what I heard the switch Akko uses for their HE boards also sound and feel better than the wooting switches.

Laptop keyboards suck; I wish I could actually afford these, like my space bar only works on one side and it's really annoying. The only problem with proper keyboards is that the space bar becomes a seesaw when it gets too old.

I suspect the reason for the persistent plastic bottom case is to ensure wireless performance. I know some customs are all aluminium and have wireless but plastic probably helps ensure reliability.

Hipyo should make a video on the neo 65. I think it's a great budget board and would like to hear his opinion on it.

@christophermcbrian4462 Ай бұрын

I'm just getting into keyboards but I've been buying them all prebuilt and budget priced compared to enthusiast priced. Started with a Corsair K100 with the wheel and I like the customizable RGB and the pudding caps I put on but it sounds like crap compared to the ones you build. Recently I bought the Royal Kludge S98 with Lilac switches and it sounds great with thocky linear switches and caps. That was a budget board but I loved it. I'd like to buy the ROG Azoth gun metal black with snow switches next. I'm wondering of you could show a video on how to take it apart step by step so I don't break it and show how to make them thock like you did here but actually do a step by step tutorial on how to do it. Key caps are pretty straight forward but what would be some nice ones that go with black to make the Azoth thock with snow switches after I mod the inside?

I thought clicky and thocky were opposites. I need Hipyo to release a video on what Thocky actually means to him because he uses it no matter what the context is.

I wouldn't mind a quick review of the Low Profile keyboard since I'm in the market for once. I've been wanting a low profile keyboard since my K8 has so much travel time for each key press. It's also very tall. I can't make up my mind between the LoFree Flow and the Nufy Air75. I like the Air 75 because of the wireless performance. Maybe the Asus would be worth it?

Hipyo, i have a question - are Outemu Silent Yellow switches any good? im planning to change my outemu red for lighter and more silent switches as a test. Im not planning to lube anything (im lazy af) and i just want to try other switches for gaming. All my life i was using blue, clicky switches, but after i got a new, hotswappable red switch keyboard (Thor 303 TKL), now i know that there are a lot of better options, but which are worth it idk, because of how small knowledge about keyboards i have.

@MaheerKibria Ай бұрын

I've done the gaming keyboards and I've done the custom keyboard. And the gaming brands do wireless right so if you want wireless without keys getting "stuck" or the keyboard losing signal go with a gaming brand. I haven't found any customs keyboard where the wireless has been satisfactory. That makes the gaming keyboards worth the extra money if that is something you care about because at the end of the day the keyboard has to function. Every wireless custom keyboard I've ever bough ends up having to be wired to work the way i want. So I'm ok with plastic case and the things "wrong" with custom gaming keyboards.

i like my strix scope ii but unfortunately the left arrow key stopped working lol its been 6 months. love the nx snow linears though they are so so smooth. the only other smoothness comes close is the lichix lucy switches. i love the size, the spacebar could be less ratly but that can be changed at a later stage. and without the full alu custom kb price tag too. theres plenty of warranty so i could also choose to return it. cant really do that with a lot of GB full alu keyboards... i also have those same ember keycaps got them for $15.00 usd on sale too
