Yeah. I assume the subject of the channel is too narrow for it to grow without the "entertainment" part, but having the most important part be the last 30s of 10 mins of video is a bit much.
if you actually want to know anything about the keyboard then of course he's going to talk about it. Though there is like 2 minutes of unnecessary stuff at the beginning
Been using this for the past 4 months and I love it. I had always wanted an affordable silent full-size (for work), and eventually my younger brother put me on to this. I've gotten compliments both from fellow custom keyboard friends and the older folk from work for the retro-y look. Love the sound, typing feel and having the ability to upload any gif I want to the mini screen.
One thing to note is that the Sea Salt linears use leaf springs integrated into the stem for sound dampening (like on Wuque/Haimuu switches) instead of silicone pads. This results in the bottom out feeling less mushy, but the top-out sound is less dampened when compared to the more conventional silicone pads.
@@invest_9361They are very quiet but rather expensive. If you are looking for budget quality switches including silents, Akko penguins + fairies (I think) would be the best option with one tactile and the other linear.
@@invest_9361Akko penguins + fairies. If this is showing up twice, I can't see my comment so just to be sure, one is tactile one is linear and they are great. Not as quiet but a lot cheaper at I think around $15-16 or £11-13 for 45 instead of $23 or £20 for 35.
I bought this one two months ago because I needed a keyboard with a numpad and I love it. Personally, the color you show here is my favorite because it reminds me the big keyboards I used at work ages ago. It's south facing, which is great for the price and the little TV screen is lovely. The cons are that it's not for keyboard enthusiasts, the charge doesn't last long, and it takes a while to get accustomed to the keycaps profile, if one wants to keep them. All in all, though, I would definitely recommend it. Nola content? The more, the better
@@HipyoTech I've actually put most of my keyboard research into silencing mechanical keyboards so seeing keebtubers make "I made a silent keyboard" is always fun to see how far y'all will go.
Amazing that this guy managed to con me into watching a whole 10 minute video of him rambling about nothing just to get to the sound test at the end. I am kinda impressed, tbh. Well-played, sir…
Making a keyboard out of plastic is really... really not "cutting corners", like saying making a ps5 controller NOT out of gold and diamonds is cutting corners, keyboard youtube has got out of hand
It's really the type of plastic that determines if they are cutting corners or not, and here they used ABS for the entirety of the case which is just about the cheapest plastic they can use.
I have only recently been getting more into keyboards, but hearing the word budget used for 115USD keyboard is so alien to me, especially since the most expensive keyboard I've owned is 70 bucks, I already it wasnt anything high-end but I at least assumed it was middle of the road.
yesterday I received this keyboard and it is amazing but i did not buy the seasalt silent switches. it's a great choise if you need a good full-sized keyboard without heavy modding it achieve an acceptable/good experience.
@@HipyoTech Can I ask which switches you got with yours? Im looking at getting an RT100 cause i like the look and numpad, but i dont want the Silent switches cause i dont want a silent keyboard, but idk how good the other switch options are
I found a switch that isn't really QUIET and NOT LOUD Either , also it has a delicious tactile bump its Gazzew U4Tx , its said to be Hybrid Switch , Half-Thock
@@kyosukeshidou1370I have some Gazzew Boba U4 switches too, but they were a little too firm and got tiring to use. Maybe because I got the 68g version instead of 62g? Not sure.
Mr Hipyo, you have now created a problem for me. I didn't know I wanted a near silent keyboard but now that's all I can think about when I'm using my current "gaming" board.... Damn you and your highly informative content! Also Nola is very cute
change the shutter speed to 1/60 or 1/100 to stop flicking, if not then change the shutter speed until no flicking appear. Then compensate with lower or higher iso or apecture
I got the RT100 long before there were any other color options, but frankly, I like the tan a brown look, so that's not a problem for me. Honestly, I think it's great, although I did wind up changing the keycaps to a cherry profile. The Sea Salt Silents are also pretty amazing, although I'm disappointed that they don't have the slightly longer stem that the Flamingos and the Budgerigars have that prevent cherry interference. As such, I have experienced cherry interference with the Sea Salt Silents. One problem I've had with the little TV screen is that it won't always come back on after waking up the keyboard while in wireless mode. I'd have to either turn it off and back on again or switch from Windows mode to Mac, then back again. Super annoying. But if the keyboard's plugged in, the TV screen is cute. And yes, it's totally a gimmick and I almost never use it. I still love the RT100, and it's my go-to regular-shaped keyboard, but I recently acquired the Feker Alice 98, and I just can't countenance going back to the traditional key layout. The reduced strain on my wrists and hands is just too irresistible while using the Feker.
Hi, can I ask what cherry interference is? From what I just searched up it’s got to do with cherry switches and north facing LED but this keyboard has South facing?
@@72EEL Sorry I only saw this comment just now. Yes, you're right that the RT100 is SF and that Cherry inference is an NF thing. I should've been more specific in that I was talking about the switches in general, as I do have an NF keyboard. Just to be clear, though (and I wish Hipyo were clearer about this as well): the problem is the switch molds and/or stem lengths, not the orientation of the LEDs. There are plenty of switches that don't have a problem with Cherry interference in NF LED orientation such as the Flamingos and the Budgerigars that I mentioned. Morandis Don't seem to have a problem with Cherry interference either, although I have my problems with them, but that's a story for another day.
Anyone who wants to buy it, daily use wise, it is a perfectt keyboard. I bring it to work everyday and it is quiet. I think the only warnings I can give is that sometimes the screen can slightly come off and I just hate that I have to readjust it since it looks ugly if I don’t. And if you’re a heavy typer, or press down on your keyboard really hard (like me) it won’t stay quiet at all, I suggest the foaming with the spacebar because for some reason, my spacebar sounds more clacky (still good sound) but not muted as much as the rest. So whenever I type, people can still hear me and it is louder since I really jam my fingers in there. Overall, it is perfect. The feel of it is amazing and the sound (apart from the spacebar) is amazing all the time. And I really love the feel on this type of plastic, it doesn’t feel like plastic, yknow? Highly recommend! And the numberpad is so useful!
I use the Logitech MK295 as my quiet keyboard and it's absolutely adequate for most office scenarios, especially at 25$ for the combo mouse and keyboard.
Tried this one twice but had faulty TVs both times so returned them and gave up given I couldn’t mod it. I did enjoy the Sea Salts for what they were, opened my eyes to silent switches. Get Keydous to send you an NJ98!
I wish that they sold different colors for the ISO-variant too… I dont like that retro style but i want a budget Keyboard that has quiet switches. but there are no other keyboards like that one that have a numpad ☹️
I have adhd and autism and I can’t remember which one causes me to freak out due to noises like chewing but hearing keys click was one of the things I can’t stand and I had been looking for a keyboard for my little brother and I thank you for making this video (it will make my life like 50% better lmao)
I gotta say, first couple videos I watched of yours, i wasn't a fan (to say the least). But you have some type of qualities that switched me over to a fan. Bravo, keyboard connessiur.
It's such a bummer that they goofed so hard on that spacebar. Your mod helps a ton, but it still isn't as quiet as the other keys, and that is just so odd. Great that there is a premade that is so quiet, but I hope there are better silent options out there.
We have stealth bombers from the 90's, materials to dampen sound, geometry to dampen sound... yet all we have is loud keyboards... just manipulate the plastic to absorb the sound with geometry and sound absorbing materials, like u know ur good old cloth, u can put a rug on the wall to stop the sound bounce.
NGL, prefer plastic cases vastly more than aluminum. Form factors for plastic cases just look better, they're lighter, and frankly, the color choices are more vast and look better than metal cases. I'm using the the TH80 v2 and that case looks amazing. Epomaker software sucks though. You can't even change time to 12hr
I order this keyboard just for the retro look and the numberpad remind me of the IBM 386 from back in the day, I can't comment in how it feels as I'm still waiting for it.
While the screen is gimmicky I do have a question on if the USB-C on the keyboard could be used for other things: * plug phone in to charge while you're at your desk. * Mouse/drawing pad/other pointer divice * Plug a raspberyr pi into it and have data go from it to the computer. * Just for giggles. Another Keyboard. Keyboard-ception. All hail the killz Matt. that space bar was just plain disappointing really. Wondering how those switches would sound in another keyboard. I kinda like the cream colored caps and the font, but as you stated that is personal prefrence.
I got this keyboard months ago with the Gateron Pro Yellows that it can come with as an option and I've loved it since, the only real problem imo is the software to mess with the screen is actually just terrible
I bought this board, and it thoccs good. with flamingo switches. but i have tried budgerigars and silver matt switches and it sounds really good, board doesn't need any modding really.
Wouldn't buy it for the weird gimmicky mini TV accessory, but the keyboard itself is priced pretty competitively with the Keychron K4 Pro and V5 Max. But, hear me out, Keychron V5 Max (Or Q5 Pro if you're made of money), with the sea-salt silent switches. eh, eh?
the leds flicker on camera because the frame rate of the camera doesnt match the frequency of the lights, or gamer leds. strobe effect if u wanna look it up
I bought this keyboard and accidentally selected the one with the Sea Salt Silent switches. I sent it back because it was the worst feeling keyboard I've ever used. Yeah, pretty quiet, or at least a dull thud sound, rather than any kind of clicking/clacking. But the absolutely worst feeling switches have ever tried. It's put me off ever testing a silent switch again.
One thing of note Hipyo. I am visually impaired and I love the font on those keycaps. very easy to read. That said the spacebar seems too. ehh to me still.
I bought the exact same keyboard as them. They have 0 QA. I got the keyboard the whole roll of keys do not work (the qwerty roll). Message their customer support, they legit ask me to QA for them to figure out the problem. Then ask me to create a shipping label for them in order to return then they will refund me. They wont even create the return label for you like most others until i pull out their own terms and condition clearly stating they will provide shipping label for any factory defects. PLEASE STAY AWAY. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. They will do anything to make your life hard.
I just bought those silent switches to spawn it on an SK61 and see how it performs. I do want to have them and not for my office . My office keyboard is the leobog with the linear switches
I use this keyboard every day, and it's by far my favourite. I have it with Epomaker's budgerigar switches, and they are also my favourite -- tactile switches with a really heavy thock. The little screen is the best part. I upload gif files for each season or just to match my mood. As a matter of fact, I really like most of Epomaker's switches.
Hello, thank your for your comment. I'm considering buying the Epomaker RT100...talking about the Budgerigar Switches, is it appropriate for typing...and can we type fast with this Switch? Epomaker recommended me the [Sea Salt Silent]...Now, I'm not sure which is the most appropriate.
Hello, Alfred...thank you for sharing this video. I'm considering this keyboard...the Japanese Layout... However, there's a problem with that version: the [Z,X,C,V,B,N,M] kes are weirdly displaced to 1 position to the left...usual keyboards are positioned diagonally to the right-hand side of the upper [A,S,D,F,G,H,J,K,L] keys. Do you know how to re-arrange the keys like the standard English layouts? I'm afraid I couldn't re-arrange and set up them properly using the Epomaker app.
I'm in need of a "silent" keyboard, as quiet as possible. How does this compare to an unmodified Varmilo with Kailh Prestige Silent Switches? Possible to for you to do a video on the top 3 or 5 library silent keyboards?
seems like its a hit or miss in chances of getting software/hardware QOL issues. That's a big nono and I just can't imagine getting something so inconsistent with other people's reviews online.
i have a seggestion basicly thear ia a hobby calls speedcubign so soving a "rudiks cube" as fast as posible . you use lube in the cubes that i think might bee simular and think i wold be cool to see if it wold wor for keyboard
going to have to do some research. i like the idea of a silent keyboard, but i dont like this one, the colors. I also want caps where the RGP shines through. but also know nothing about keyboard modding. im still using an old Logitech mechanical keyboard.
Still trying to figure out what full size I want to get my sister for Christmas but running out of time... this is definitely a possible choice but I had hoped to mod it first. Hmmm... great review as always!
Have been running the Skyloong Glacier Silent switches (same internal design based on mini plastic leaf springs) for a while now and things are a little softer / quieter if you combine them with silicone keycaps.
I'm trying to get a silent full size keyboard, and that one may be it! I'll change the keycaps as I purchased some I love, but this Epomaker keyboard might be it :)
The off-white is the only retro colors. They've only been white, off white and black. Very few options ever existed otherwise so i dont understand why that's an choice for colors.
I was looking into a mechanical keyboard for the first time, I watched a lot of your stuff and ended up with this keyboard. I love this keyboard so much! I got the RT100 with the Sea Salt Silent switches. I love the feel and sound of it, it's so satisfying. I love it so much I find any excuse I can to just type and type. From a keyboard newbie, Thank you!
How... does the perfect Escape key cost more than Scoot Off? Oh well... really debating NeoChrome of either one. Might end up with the Escape, since my new keyboard lacks a < 2u space.
If you don't mind Full size keyboard, whith good Backlight, and See-through Key caps, I recommend Keychron C2, which I've been using for at least 1 year...It's really good in the dark... However, because it's a bit wide, I'm considering buying this Epomaker RT100, Japanese Layout.
That retro off-white/cream color, I remember it from the 80s and 90s way too well... Also, howlalooja, a quiet keyboard...I already get plenty of KLAKLAKLAK from my wife's desk (and it's coming from a Logitech membrane keyboard).😅
This thought randomly came to my head recently. I’m a cuber and modern speed cubes replaced springs with maglev tech. I was wondering would this even be possible for a keyboard switch and how it would it even feel
i dont even know why many hated plastic mechanical keyboard and confused whats really the problem is. I personally liked plastic keyboard because i think it is a little lighter compared with metal/steel base in term of weight.

I bought this keyboard and accidentally selected the one with the Sea Salt Silent switches. I sent it back because it was the worst feeling keyboard I've ever used. Yeah, pretty quiet, or at least a dull thud sound, rather than any kind of clicking/clacking. But the absolutely worst feeling switches have ever tried. It's put me off ever testing a silent switch again.
One thing of note Hipyo. I am visually impaired and I love the font on those keycaps. very easy to read. That said the spacebar seems too. ehh to me still.
omg even the cat looked at the camera, sooo good.
Yeah, I don't love the color but I love the font! idk even why.. just hits me cute
I bought the exact same keyboard as them. They have 0 QA. I got the keyboard the whole roll of keys do not work (the qwerty roll). Message their customer support, they legit ask me to QA for them to figure out the problem. Then ask me to create a shipping label for them in order to return then they will refund me. They wont even create the return label for you like most others until i pull out their own terms and condition clearly stating they will provide shipping label for any factory defects.
PLEASE STAY AWAY. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. They will do anything to make your life hard.
I just bought those silent switches to spawn it on an SK61 and see how it performs. I do want to have them and not for my office . My office keyboard is the leobog with the linear switches
I use this keyboard every day, and it's by far my favourite. I have it with Epomaker's budgerigar switches, and they are also my favourite -- tactile switches with a really heavy thock. The little screen is the best part. I upload gif files for each season or just to match my mood. As a matter of fact, I really like most of Epomaker's switches.
Hello, thank your for your comment.
I'm considering buying the Epomaker RT100...talking about the Budgerigar Switches, is it appropriate for typing...and can we type fast with this Switch? Epomaker recommended me the [Sea Salt Silent]...Now, I'm not sure which is the most appropriate.
Try changing your camera to half patch your hertz which is 60, so 30fps so it matches the light flicking
Hello, Alfred...thank you for sharing this video.
I'm considering this keyboard...the Japanese Layout...
However, there's a problem with that version: the [Z,X,C,V,B,N,M] kes are weirdly displaced to 1 position to the left...usual keyboards are positioned diagonally to the right-hand side of the upper [A,S,D,F,G,H,J,K,L] keys.
Do you know how to re-arrange the keys like the standard English layouts? I'm afraid I couldn't re-arrange and set up them properly using the Epomaker app.
Why does Alfred sound like he would actually google with this zoom 💀💀
I'm in need of a "silent" keyboard, as quiet as possible. How does this compare to an unmodified Varmilo with Kailh Prestige Silent Switches? Possible to for you to do a video on the top 3 or 5 library silent keyboards?
I just stumbled upon your channel after watching Desk Setup Improvement videos including these upgraded customizable keyboards!
seems like its a hit or miss in chances of getting software/hardware QOL issues. That's a big nono and I just can't imagine getting something so inconsistent with other people's reviews online.
i kinda dig the font. it reminds me of scrabble tiles, especially with the beige colour
can u make a video about the phantom tecware 87+ I've seen many youtubers make a video about it and I wanna see ur opinion
any ducky keyboard with silent switches especially silent reds does the same thing but without needing to do anything as well
i have a seggestion basicly thear ia a hobby calls speedcubign so soving a "rudiks cube" as fast as posible .
you use lube in the cubes that i think might bee simular and think i wold be cool to see if it wold wor for keyboard
Can I get a link to the killmat you get
going to have to do some research. i like the idea of a silent keyboard, but i dont like this one, the colors. I also want caps where the RGP shines through. but also know nothing about keyboard modding. im still using an old Logitech mechanical keyboard.
Dang I wish they’d let you buy the little tv when it was first released - I had to paint mine bc brown was the only colorway available at release…
Still trying to figure out what full size I want to get my sister for Christmas but running out of time... this is definitely a possible choice but I had hoped to mod it first. Hmmm... great review as always!
Hello Hipyo!
which switches do you think are quieter, the gamakay pegasus switches or the seasalt silent switches?
It took me like an hour but i finally opened mine and modded it and if you can get into it and customize it, it can be amazing
But can you play Doom on the little screen?
Outemu silent yellow jade are great cheap silent switches
I built 2 using tcc frozen silents and the WQ studios silent linears. These are super quiet best for streaming or office.
Are there any keycaps for this keyboard that are shine through and will retain the quietness?
Stare at 0:28 by the cat and hipyo killed me lol
Do you have a video for making a quiet one. I want to make a full size one
Cat that eats cardboard + owner who unboxes stuff all of the time. Match made in heaven fr
So should I buy this since I absolutely want that and never mod keyboards?
I love the nola content, everytime she comes on screen i laugh or smile, ignore the HATERS 😈
Have been running the Skyloong Glacier Silent switches (same internal design based on mini plastic leaf springs) for a while now and things are a little softer / quieter if you combine them with silicone keycaps.
Can we get a Nola stream were your not there
hmm.. did you start by saying how not everyone wants to modify one, and buy it ready to go, but then modify it...
yoooo he got the dbrand keycaps?
I just purchased this keyboard and absolutely love it! However I am struggling to find a wrist rest that is the same length as it. Any suggestions?
I'm trying to get a silent full size keyboard, and that one may be it! I'll change the keycaps as I purchased some I love, but this Epomaker keyboard might be it :)
The off-white is the only retro colors. They've only been white, off white and black. Very few options ever existed otherwise so i dont understand why that's an choice for colors.
I was looking into a mechanical keyboard for the first time, I watched a lot of your stuff and ended up with this keyboard. I love this keyboard so much! I got the RT100 with the Sea Salt Silent switches. I love the feel and sound of it, it's so satisfying. I love it so much I find any excuse I can to just type and type. From a keyboard newbie, Thank you!
How... does the perfect Escape key cost more than Scoot Off?
Oh well... really debating NeoChrome of either one. Might end up with the Escape, since my new keyboard lacks a < 2u space.
Are they other options with 2,4ghz? The keychron q6 with 2,4ghz would be a dream. Any options?
Hi Hipyo! Random question, but how do you get Nola to not eat your toxic plants?
The way you and Nola are looking at the camera @ 1:33 had me cracking up for way too long.
I like the color, it's almost noctua esk. (in fact Extremely close)
Well i would like to have a spanish iso keyboard. It has become a nesesity. Hopefully next year they will release a version like kchrone did this year
Thanks for your great videos! Any recommendations for a quiet keyboard with really clear always-on backlit keys (so I can type in darkness)?
If you don't mind Full size keyboard, whith good Backlight, and See-through Key caps, I recommend Keychron C2, which I've been using for at least 1 year...It's really good in the dark...
However, because it's a bit wide, I'm considering buying this Epomaker RT100, Japanese Layout.
That retro off-white/cream color, I remember it from the 80s and 90s way too well... Also, howlalooja, a quiet keyboard...I already get plenty of KLAKLAKLAK from my wife's desk (and it's coming from a Logitech membrane keyboard).😅
This thought randomly came to my head recently. I’m a cuber and modern speed cubes replaced springs with maglev tech. I was wondering would this even be possible for a keyboard switch and how it would it even feel
i dont even know why many hated plastic mechanical keyboard and confused whats really the problem is. I personally liked plastic keyboard because i think it is a little lighter compared with metal/steel base in term of weight.
