- Is the Keychron Q2 Max the best Keyboard? Well, no not really. In this video I compare it to the Varmilo Sword 68 custom keyboard!

the reason keychron is so good is because of how many different form factors they have.
And because they offer ISO layout and the most important: they are in stock 😊
Super true!
I was going to say the biggest reason people buy Keychron is because they *CAN* buy Keychron. I’d much rather have a Sense75 or the Rainy 75 or the Zoom 75 or a myriad of other enthusiast boards that are likely better than Keychron. But I’ve been waiting for over a month now for something to come back in stock and nothing has. But I can literally walk into a MicroCenter and take home a Q1 Pro today. (Holding out hope for MicroCenter to start selling the Max line soon so I’m still waiting anyway 😂)
Keychron have become the new Royal Kludge
@@lemarinelsebastien Not to mention, you dont have to sell part of your liver to get one.
Oh my god he said something controversial
Yet so brave

Its the end of the world ik OMG (jk this is a joke)
Honestly, I like tactiles and linears pretty evenly. It really just depends on my situation. Usually I will go for linears for gaming, and tactiles for working, school, etc.
wow for me its the literall opposite tactile for gaming since i need feedback cause i play competitive fps
@@orion205fwiw there are higher actuation linear switches, too
@@orion205Lol what? It's not good for competitive fps, tactility cripples your ability to rapidly and press and release keys because they aren't smooth by nature. Not to mention with hall effect it isn't even relevant because you can set the entire travel distance to be actuated.
I use to be an average membrane keyboard enjoyer and then I discovered Hipyo. Recently did some light customization. Bought the Redragon K556, Akko Lavender V3 Pro switches (to swap out the brown Outemus) and Corsair double shot PBT keycaps and I am loving this typing experience so much. ASMR for my finger and ears. Thanks Hipyo!
I have like a cheap keyboard but it's hot swap so I have plans for it
I got your air up video recommended and watched it and I'm since then subscribed to you. Keyboards etc are not my biggest interest, but you is really pleassent to hear you talking about technical stuff. I like it!
Same! I don't know anything about keyboards, but I really love how this one sounded. By the end of the video I wanted to buy it haha.
The best thing about keychron is they don't only come in a US layout. Basically all custom keyboards or prebuilts are US only which is really annoying for anyone from anywhere else.
10000%. I settled for a full build iso-uk k8 pro.... just done a lube and tape mod... very happy now
The whole hobby is kind of a bastard if you’re not based in the US. Everything is way more expensive and so many keycaps are produced exclusively in the US ANSI layout.
This varmilo seems very sus and overpriced....
If I'm gonna have to lift a keycap to turn off my board, I might as well buy a rainy75 for about 1/2 the price and get QMK/VIA.
Yes It's over priced
congrats on 1 mil love your content cant wait for the 1 mil play button vid keep it up
Very excited my womier sk71 arrives tomorrow! But this one is going to be on my list if I want to upgrade to the next level (I will need a work keyboard too…). I absolutely love this color scheme! I wish we’d see some more blank or other layout keycaps in these cute colors.
Also I’d love a video on electro-capacitive switches 😊
I actually got it after watching his video about it and I love it. its sound stock is amazing and you can even switch to F1 F2 .. keys using "fn" which was my only downside for it I would say.
yey! great vid!
congrats for 992k! 🎉
993k now😮
999,983 now
yea! almost 1M🎉
what is that thing above arrow keys? does it have any use or just a decoration?
Congratulation's on 1 Million - May the Stonks, be as Great as your Editing ~
hey hipyo, i have had a gmmk pro that i customised myself. i didnt buy the full kit i just got the barebone version. I was thinking of upgrading, what would you recommend I do?
hey hipyo have you seen the epomaker x aula f75? its pretty cheap and sounds very good imo
should i get it or do you have any suggestions?
Thank you so much for the video .We are working on everything that you can imagine, QMK, ISO (in fact most of our products have ISO layout), and lower latency. Definitely, we will continue to maintain our hardware advantages. I hope you guys will continue to pay more attention to us. Looking forward to our subsequent performance
No UK ISO layout available or 96% size 😢
I can't believe he said the Ariel was ugly. I think it's beautiful, So much so I bought one
Your Keyboards are great, I owned a beatiful 110% with MX-Blacks back in the day.
Sadly you offer almost nothing ISO and no MX-Black switches anymore :(
i always appreciate the runescape on the monitor in the background. blessed by thy grind, for it is good
Silent keyboard bingo bong!
I’m new to custom keyboards. Looking to build a silent keyboard for typing during presentations. After seeing your AliExpress video I decided to go with gmk67 + Gateron milky yellow, but I’m down to swap out the switches. What budget friendly silent switch would you recommend?
That sounds and looks nice but I still prefer my Q3 - as the ISO-de layout is my thing and I love the OS switching knob, QMK/Via support and the default mac keycaps. It is connected to my KVM and I switch between my PC, work laptop and MacBook all the time. Put on the Keychron developer PBT keycaps and did some of the usual tape and foam mods. It sounds and looks great now imho.
I’m a new subscriber and new to keyboards. I bought a Q6 MAX because of all the wireless features, 100% layout, and it seemed that it covered a lot of bases for quality I’ve learned from watching this channel. I’d love a review of the Q MAX series as well as tips for minimal mods to make it better.
I just got a Q6 and can say that electrical tape on the back of the board and a few pieces between the case halves around the screw points made a small but significant improvement in the sound (got rid of a slight metallic pinging). I haven't felt like it needs anything else.
does this have a low profile version with optical switches that are silent? thats why i got mine
do keycaps matter? im building a tofu 60 2.0 and milky yellows. what keys should i use
I just wanna know if there’s anything out there that competes with the Keychron V1 Max? In terms of price and features?
Hey Hipyo! Saw the GMK67 from Zouya in the video, was wondering if you were ever thinking of grabbing the GMK67-s? I built up a board with Gateron Smoothies and lubed the stock stabs, the board with SA profile PBT caps had a nice thoccy sound, especially the space bar. Must have something to do with the spacebar stabilizer having foam around it (the foam sandwiched inbetween the plate and pcb)
Neat! Found your channel about a week ago, now I'm sitting here trying to figure out what I want to replace my current 6y old keyboard with. It's not going well cause I want RGB, shine through keycaps, and 75% is too small...
silent keyboard bing bong
Just realized I've been watching you for years and I wasn't subscribed anymore for some reason. Lets get you to a million :)
Is the royal kludge software safe? The methods for downloading it is very sketchy.
Epomaker Cidoo V75, best non-enthusiast priced kb out of the box I've found so far :)
Been saying that I have one and it is so nice with ws morandi switches
have this exact same build its incredible@@_DuffyTheDwarf_
what do u think is a endgame 65/75% keyboard with knob ?
Hey, I just swapped my switches over from Baby Kangaroos which I loved, but I found the clacking a bit harsh.
I got samples of Gateron Quinn and Gateron's EverFree Greyish as possible replacements- and actually went with the Greyish. I might want heavier springs, but they're really good value, sound and feel good (lubed) and also actually work with RGB (unlike Quinns)- it might be worth you covering them?
I know you like the WS stuff and I liked those too, but for tactile options I think these are a good alternative and to me, I prefer them.
what kind of starter, barebones board would you recommend?
Hipyo tech I'm just wondering if U had done a review on the ducky series one 3 SF daybreak keyboard? I was given one for free from a friend and just wondering if it's good (idk how to compare it against videos and I'm terrible with keyboards)
Hey Hipyo, how do you get rid the anvil feeling on a Keychron Q Pro?
Just force break mod it, it gets rid of the ping, all you need is some tape and like 10 minutes
I’ve built three keyboards since I started watching your channel but none of them come even remotely close to the KBDCraft Kit Adams for me. Absolutely adore that board even with the wonky layout and the tiny right shift key that drives me insane. It just sounds and feels so beautiful.
Hipyo Tech, This is awesome! I subscribed because I want to see more!
has this channel ever covered the Aula f75? I got one at an amazon liquidation center and i was shocked by how it sounded stock.
@HipyoTech have you heard about and/or thought about reviewing the Leobog Hi-75? Was curious about your opinion.
ye I have one
Hello Hipyo!
I would like to recommend an underrated keyboard that few have mentioned.
The Everest60 is my go to because of how cheap it was coming around 110$ USD! For keyboards of course that’s somehow considered cheap😅. They offer you a wide span (3) of switches to decide from. Beautiful premium double shot pbt keycaps in many color ways. A very unique feature it has is being able to connect a Numberpad to the keyboard (I won’t go in depth to it.) It would make me overjoyed to review the Everest60.
Cheerio!
Hey Hipyo, I'm new to this whole boutique keyboard scene.
I just ordered a Niz Mini84 pro v6 with a set of CeraKeys v2. I was wondering if you could make a build with them in a video. Also, do you have recommendations for a better stabilizer that can be used with the mini84 pro v6?
That's a sick build - with stabs you're screwed on niz
@@HipyoTech I got the Niz Mini84 keyboard and have been using it with the CeraKeys v2 for the past two weeks and it's insane.
10/10 would recommend.
I bought my first keyboard recently and went with the K10 Pro. Paired it with Keychron’s silent K Pro switches, and it’s been great so far.
I have a Drop Shift for but now and JUST bought upgrade parts to make it a V2. I am REALLY curious what you think of the Drop Keyboards, especially since you noted how Drop was bought by Corsair. I also bought a GMMK Pro barebones for $120 (I know you're not hip on it btw), bought their upgrade kit and bought Everglide Aqua Kings V3s (totally clear with a gold stem) and some Kailh Box whites V2. I have V1 on a work keyboard and I really like them! I even tossed in the upgrade stabs that Glorious makes for $4.99. Before that I was/still use at times a Ducky Shine 7 Blackout with the Year of the Dog spacebar with MX browns, which is a decent Keyboard to me! Hope you're feeling better too and get well quickly!
I wonder, have you tried Outemu silent grey/white by any chance?
Hipyooooooo just as I'm lubing 90 NEW Akko Cream Yellow Pro's because they were crunchy, scratchy and spring bouncy..... (and the test-lubed single one came out REALLY nice with more-than-just-a-film worth of lube)
Just what I needed, a KEEB support video! :D
Can u review the AULA F75 Leobog Reaper switch? It’s great stock.
You know it’s a good day when HipyoTech uploads 😃
I would LOVE to have a keyboard like this! But... mostly just because of the color. It's too expensive for my current budget.
I really enjoyed watching the videos on the custom builds with a budget that you did with your friends! I think it would be neat to see another video like that, where you potentially take a cheap keyboard, but make it (at least) look like a high end custom.
@Hipyotech, hey, just recently subscribed , awesome video !! I just recently went down the rabbit hole of mechanical keyboards and deciding between two keyboards ..An Earto Crescent 96% keyboard and the Azio FOQO ... I know there two different types of keyboards just wanted to know your opinion or if your familiar with these two keyboards? Have you reviewed or experienced them? Would appreciate the input otherwise thanks again I look forward to seeing your other videos
As a nonkeyboard kinda guy , the lilliac colourings with the differentiation between primary letters and primary command keys is very nice(since bawic ergonomics have placed them in a rough ring shape) aswell as the biggest having a seperate lighter tone to distinguish at half a glance , is done very well
(Personaly the RBG lighting enabled does clash with the colour sheme a bit)
Hi been watching your videos of past week and curious what keyboard you would reccomend for gaming mmo's Ive since bought and cancelled 3 keyboards from watching your videos and feeling overwhelmed, I like the compact layour from the sword and keychron v1
I just like how passionate people are about keyboard. It reminds me that there's joy to be found in even everyday things I haven't thought twice about. It's delightful! Beauty in the mundane.
Isnt that the same OEM, as the monsgeek m7, which is only 80$ for wired version ?
is the epomaker th66 pro good? how can I make it creamy?
Keychron still makes the only good full size (all keys) lowest profile keyboard. The short keys, and not much pressure to activate them, is like heaven for my endlessly painful hands. I mean, it still hurts to type, but far less so than with any other keyboard that I've used in my entire life.
Where can i find your mousepad?
does the PCB support split backspace?
As someone that’s looking to get their first keyboard I am looking at the Q1 Max. I like the connectivity options, the layout I like, the rgb, and it’s hotswap.
Fun fact from a typography nerd: the issue with the shift key having a larger gap between the f and the t is known as bad kerning. It is usually a mistake made by amateur font designers so it is often present in free or clone fonts. Kerning is adjusting the space between individual letters that don’t look visually balanced with the default letter spacing metrics. AV, YA, Ta, and RY are a few common letter combinations that often need to be kerned.
Yo hipyo ! Try the Epomaker X Aula F75 with leobog reaper switches. You'll love this budget keeb.
There are a lot of options out there for those who have access and budget for every type eor keyboard. My first hot swap was a keychron k3. I returned it within 2 months. Then I got an Asus scope ii 96 the next month and then the next month after that (it was Dec so holiday sales) a ducky full size. The Keychron was the cheaper out of the 3 purchases but I love the ducky and Asus boards a lot for different reasons. Now it's 4 months later and I almost got the nuphy gem/cidoo v87/yunzii but ended up buying a gamakay sn75 barebone from china as an early bday gift for myself. Less than $180 nzd or so. There's a lot of options out there not just keychron. It's important to look around and see what's out there and most importantly identify what your own preferences are😊 thats the good thing about the keyboard hobby, choices are expanding a lot a lot
Hey Hipyo, do you have any suggestions for people that need ISO keyboards? (Qwertz ISO DE in my case)
I can second that, we really need good recommendations for ISO boards (ISO Nordic in my case)
when will the rainy 75 be in stock again?
hi hipyo, try haimu heartbeat silent linears. They are my favourite silent switches to take to my school library. super quiet and they feel normal and not mushy. so quiet the stabilizers have to be PERFECT to work well. They are in a super-plastic and foam-loaded keyboard (gmk67) and I love it as a 'sleeper agent' !
Have you reviewed any 40 percent keyboards? I'm looking for something even MORE portable than my gmk67
I put those in a Nuphy Halo 75 and couldn't be happier. They pair well with the GhostBar, Nuphy's silent spacebar.
I would get it if it had QMK and a stepped caps lock switch placement option. The Keychron Q2 Max at least has one of those so that’s what I have
Just wondering if Hipyo has done or has plans to do a vid on split style or ergo style keyboards, like builds or reviews of them.
Fantastic comparison! More Niz videos or any electro capacitive keyboard content would be amazing!
Yes please I would really appreciate a review or even better a mod guide on the q max series for keycrhons!!!
their keyboards have gotten so much better over the years. i have a new Q HE and its so buttery smooth. its my favorite keyboard to type on this year.
Could you do a review on the Tecware phantom 87 Elite at some point? It’s honestly an amazing keyboard for the price in my opinion and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.
I'd like it if you did a video on a buckling spring keyboard (such as a unicomp mini m / new model m)
Wildly different segment from the usual keyboards you talk about.
Hello Hiypyo, would you be able to try the Boyi wk68? I believe it is mediocre stock, but it has potential when modded. Please Hipyo I'm on my knees my family hasn't eaten in 7 days.
Stumbled across this channel at the perfect timing.
Love my Corsair K95 RGB keyboard but some switches start to go wonky. I really love my Ducky One keyboard with Silent Red switches.
No idea what I will do or if I even go custom but I always chuckle when it's said that something is "clacky" or "pingy" and then the soundtest follows and sounds similar to my Stock Ducky One.
And I am just sitting here, writing on my typewriter of a hollow K95 RGB and thinking of how to give it a makeover :-D
I was actually going to buy a Keychron Q1 or Q2 this weekend because I want to get a smaller board than my 96% K4. This video is what I needed to see before I spent my money.
Are you thinking of changing your mind? I built my own V1 Max, and sure do appreciate the knob customization every day. (Some softwares don't let you customize the knob).
This lilac one on the other hand, it sounded beautiful!
better go for the neo65 or qk75, or not as good monskeek m1w
Would love to see a video on the AK820!!
Congrats on 1 million btw, ily hipyo
that "woooho yeee" sound playing at every timestamp always makes me laugh XD
Could you please mention the name of the 80$ keyboard?
my god those silent keystrokes were heaven, ill need to look more into modding my gaming keyboard to sound silent
Picked out switches, caps and then an alice Keychron V10. Iz lovely. Just wanted something relatively affordable and Alice layout that looked good. My wrists are thanking me :)
ur videos are always really well done.
What's the benefit of a 65% keyboard compared to a 75 or the one I prefer TKL, because I just don't get it. Where are the function keys?
As a strange thought has Hipyo done any keyboards in the way of ISO layout? (rather than ANSI) - Some of use prefer that layout and it'd be good to see what options there's available to us in other countries.. like those in Europe.
Is the leobog hi75 any good?
too little keys for my work, any TKL/80%+ alternative?
I think they have a sword TKL in the works
Hey, I've bought a Keychron Q1 Pro, because they are the only brand I found selling an metal in-stock kind of budget ISO-DE keyboard. For sure I could have bought an ANSI board and swapped the keycaps to ANSI-DE, but these are rare and also way too overprised for me. So the only choise for people not using ANSI Layout is to go Keychron
Or does anyone know an alternative?
Sadly for EU they are the most available for alt layouts :( Still not a bad board tho!
Congrats on the almost 1 mil subs, and it looks as if you've gained 4k in the last day so, not much longer now!
remembre u tested an air up dotle and it did well well i have a sugestion u try a cirkul water botle its basicly the same thing as air up but meby good and cheper ?
Congrats on 1mil subs!
I've got a Keychron Q1 HE preordered. I became a fan of magnetic switches when I tried the Steelseries Apex Pro TKL. Not a fan of Steelseries, though. Had 2 fail on me in less than 6 months. I hope the Q1 HE fares better.
I wish these smaller companies start providing QMK not just VIA.
QMK gives more control.
Okay, I'm surprised this isn't more widely known. Keychron keyboards HAVE a force break mod installed, and it works great, but if you tighten the screws too much the silicone bumpers get compressed and it gets pingy. Tighten the screws until you feel resistance but don't crank it down to where the top and bottom are in strong contact. I'm tired of people saying that keychron needs a force break, that was a problem with the first Q1 and other early models, but since Q1 v2 they've had silicone force break mod pre-installed.
I just wanna know if it will work well on mac like a native mac keyboard. I've had a gaming keyboard before and used Karabiner to make it work well but sometimes some keys just did not work randomly and had to disconnect and connect it back again to make it work. I would love to hear keyboard reviewers test this part and include a 5 second segment to the mac compatibility
Keychron keyboards like the V1 Max (very happy with it!) have a compatibility switch for Mac/Windows. I was in the unique position of needing a keyboard that works with both and with my steamdeck. So far so good!
the cool thing about keychron is that they come in multiple layouts, it's REALLY hard to find an ISO ES layout custom keyboard. Maybe you can find some boards with ISO layout and try to find some keycaps, but often out of stock or not very good quality.
congrats on 1 mil!!!🎉
just started playing osrs, did not expect the nightmare zone cameo
So, I recently built my first custom PC and I need to get a keyboard. Right now I'm using an old Apple membrane keyboard from the early-mid 2000s, but I want a decent mechanical keyboard as my daily driver. I would prefer a pre-built, but I wouldn't be opposed to a custom keyboard.
I was considering a Keychron K4 Pro or K10 Pro, because they're in my price range of $150 Canadian (which is the max I want to pay for a keyboard), and those models have both the number pad and F keys. However, I've heard some concerning things regarding their shipping and customer service, I can't seem to find a Canadian retailer who carries those models, and I absolutely refuse to buy anything from Amazon.
Anyway, I just thought I'd ask if anyone around the comments section might have any recommendations for decent mechanical keyboards in the $100-150 Canadian Dollar range
Isn't the luminkey65 the same price of this?
So you guys have a suggestion what i can do in europe to get my hands on a lot of these keyboards, keycaps etc? Keychron is the only thing i can get reasonably fast and for a normal price.
which is the best brand for buying gaming keyboards with red switches behavior? (i do not care about budget)
Do the lemokey l1 qmk/via wireless custom gaming keyboard that just released with the knob on the left side
I’ve only ever had one Varmilo Keyboard, VA68MG RGB, but I’ve been using it for the past 6 years. ;)
Howdy hey Hipyo Tech, you reached 1m subs, Congratulations! 🎉 And thanks for the videos, I learnt a lot. Now,, you did say you'd dye your hair blue....
