I'm finding out more and more that so many of the videos are just audiophile hobbyists that are spending hundreds to thousands of dollars just for different clicking sounds. All I care about is performance and it's so hard to filter through to figure out what's good value to cost based on that.

[brodiefromthe]

solid recommendations but Akko definitely has some of the best budget options out right now, even if they have north-facing LEDs

I started modding on that E-Yooso Keyb. And OMG! The satisfaction that came when I realize that I was able to transform that "standard" keyb into the magestic thockiness that it is now. I consider irt the best keyb to start modding and getting familiar to this hobby. Due to the plastic body that it has it is pretty noticeable the differences between the effects that have different materials.

Kudos to you sir! Amazing journey Hipyo. I hope that you continue enjoying and having fun as long as you can.

Love seeing the 75% space get bigger as it’s my preferred layout and before there were so little options. Waiting to see what the new DROP75 board is gonna be like since it sounds like an all around better GMMK Pro but we shall see! Heard great things about Keychron too

[jalencheng]

I think Akko and Ciy kits definitely need more attention. Their value is absolutely crazy

[NanHuei]

Got an rk87 for my husband and it got pretty decent after modding, although being north faced rgb. Got a rk100 pro for myself and it's really nice for a budget alluminum case.

All these boards have been serious considerations for me. But after learning about RK from an old Switch and Click video, I bought and fell in love with the RK84, my first and current keyboard. The north-facing LEDS bothered me, but buying XDA profile keycaps solved that for me. I also learned that they now come with foam in the case and between the PCB and plate. Decent stock, but tape modding, Milky Yellows and Durocks, and some silly little o-rings made this board the very best bang for my buck.
I spent a total of around 150 for all my modding materials :)

I refuse to boost any engagement with a comment.

Great video with good delivery, appreciate the insights! Glad this came across my feed

I picked up an Akko 3084B (Jelly Pink Switch) in my opinion it sounds pretty good stock but there are definitely things you can do with it to improve the sound. Would love to see a review from you on it

[beezerblanks]

I ended up going with the Feker IK75 for my first custom and love it. Wireless, 75%, RGB, BT/2.4/type-C and hot swap. Popped some Tecsee Carrot switches and MT3 keycaps and I'm a happy boy.

Only downsides with the IK75 are, north facing RGB and it uses custom software for programming the keys. Neither one were deal breakers for me.

Love the channel keep it up!

It's surprising to me just how many people like to use tiny keyboards, such as 60% for example. I tried using a TKL and felt a little claustrophobic with the amount of keys I was working with. It took me forever to find a full-size custom keyboard I liked because manufacturers didn't seem to care about that part of the market, but Keychron has made full-size boards for all different budget levels now, I love them (using the K10 right now but I plan on getting the Q6 eventually when it's time for a new board)

[wuverul]

I love how this video went up the *day after* I ordered my first set of parts for a custom keyboard. Lol. Decided on a GMMK Pro, Durock V2 stabs, and a mix of box whites and box jades for modifier keys.

[vampireblood]

I'm excited to see this even though you've already convinced me to get the Keychron V1 as my first ever keyboard. It'll get here hopefully Monday, Tuesday latest xD

[_milady]

Bro I don’t care about keyboards, just searched best keyboard, and this is such a great fucking video man, thank you man

[EtherBunny-zk]

I recently bought and modded a RK100 pro as my first “dip” into this hobby. The board cost about $80, and with just a tape mod, lubed switches, and new key caps she THOCKs! 🙂 Plus it’s got the option of Bluetooth, 2.4Ghz, or wired connection, and custom RGB with 28 preset modes.

[vcash]

Love your humble but hilarious energy. Hate getting introduced to new Addiction.

[jarnovangelder]

The keyboards I am considering are:

-Marsback M1: 75% good looking hot-swappable keyboard. But there are not that many reviews of it.

-Mojo 84: 75% version of the mojo65. Should be as good as, but haven’t seen any reviews on it yet.

-Zoom65: Looks good. But doesn’t have function-row and hard to get.

-Huntsman mini: silent 60% with optical switches. But doesn’t have arrow or function keys.

[Lazzmodai]

For all the Keychron love, I'm surprised the K8 Pro wasn't in the video. It's my go to recommendation for folks wanting an easy entry point to the hobby.

[mr.guillotine]

Hoping there is another version of this for all that has become available since this video. I think a lot of budget boards exist these days, and a lot of them are even hot swap and moddable, which means if we take the time and effort, we can make extreme budget options into boards that sound and feel like much more expensive ones.

I've suggested it before and I know that there are several boards that are almost certainly similar, but I have a Tezarre TK61 that I got for $30ish. The downside to it is the optical switches, but man, I'd love to see you and some others maybe use it in one of your challenges to see what can be done with such a cheap option and some modding.

For my 65% gang the akko 3068b or Yunzi Kc68(picked this up on Amazon prime day for only $78!). I picked the Yunzi cause there’s a lavender and mint color. It comes with some sound dampening foam, pre clipped and lubed stabs and your choice of gateron switches
