Haven't listened to it yet but I think it will be great
wake up is definitely my favorite song you’ve released so far it’s really freaking catchy
YOUR NEW SONG IS REALLY GOOD. Already listened to it on repeat and almost memoried the lyrics ha ha
what if you filled it with paper instead? I want top do a mod to my gk64x but I don't have anything besides post it notes
What if you used bubble wrap?
Acquired new skill: Fair Cheating
F A I R
I am me
@@me-wu9xu yes
I am me?
@@HipyoTech MMMMMMM
“fair”
I see cheating is normal in these challenges now
Yes
"fair" cheating
@@HipyoTech omg hi
@@bjboomer "fair"
With your budget, that wasn't even cheating. I think you did as well as could be expected.
I love how hes slamming the keys during the before test but delicately pressing the keys during the after test. the best B&A testing I've ever seen.
lol
Howdy hey. I saw some of the other contestant vids and I did not hear any rule about a working keyboard. You did great on the challenge. You are the budget champ (I mean it in a respectful way)!
Ty Nicolas very cool
@@HipyoTech ima get some new switches which ones do u recommend, Ik everyone has there own preference but I need to start of with something that’s budget but also decent.
@@Charduza i recommend jwk jwick blacks, they're very cheap (22 cents per switch on divinikey), they sound and feel great stock and even better lubed
Wouldn't it also be allowed to solder these two switches maybe with wires to the contacts of the PCB?
@@Charduza the KTT roses are a great budget linear recommended by a lot of people who like a solid linear switch. They are in my keyboard and they sound pretty nice after some modding. TTC Gold Pink are also a good budget linear switch for those who like a VERY light switch without wanting low profiles. and trust me, they are very light
For a cheap filler in the bottom of the case, I've started to use melted parrafin candle wax. Use silicone caulking to fill any holes that would leak since melted wax is fluid like water. Melted wax won't hurt the plastic case. Plus, It only costs me $2 per keyboard! I found $5 one pound blocks at my local hobby store. It's non-conductive, non-toxic, and reusable. It can be remelted and poured over and over again.
How does it affect the sound ?
Or you could use o-rings
how about fill the whole thing straight with silicone caulking?
isn’t paraffin flammable tho
@@simplefellow86 Parrafin Wax is combustible, not flammable. So unless you're actively trying to set your keyboard on fire it shouldn't be a problem.
“Ignore the white powder on the table, don’t look at that” LMAO
Climbing chalk
@@lawrencetchen nonono it’s special sugar
LOL very tru.
"Also I'm amped up on caffeine, right now... that's... why I'm amped up right now..."
Bro I think we can recognize a fellow ADHD person who has found the perfect antidote.
Just an idea for a future competition if you decide to do one!
You all start with the same keyboard, but there is no budget limit. Instead, the votes you get for your modded keyboard are a ratio of how much you spent, so you need to find a balance between being good but not spending too much
Hipyo I'm still waiting for that amongus keyboard 🤨
No
@@HipyoTechwhy
@@HipyoTech we all need the amongus keyboard in our lives:(
"i can already see Keybored doing some weird crazy idea to gasket mount"
Keybored: so heres my bakeneko o-rings
SERIOUSLY HES NUTS
*I *here's
*he's
Crazy that these key caps look better than razer’s pudding keycaps
razer dont have puddings lol
@@Anon119 razer “phantom” keycaps. I’m using them rn and they feel like molded nerf gun plastic
Yay!! You should do more big budget challenges and builds
HipyoBigBrain
Hey hipyo!! Just wanted to say I absolutely love your new song!! Listened to it on repeat all of yesterday and it's definitely one of my favorite songs in recent months. Keep up the great work!!
Other UA-camrs : switch pop out
Hipyo tech : 🗿
I wish I knew about this fair cheating. I actually like how your keyboard looks a lot more! Haha but I loled when I saw you sitting next to the humidifier... I don't know why. I have a problem... Shouldn't have eaten that glue
“This board comes with red switches that are very… red”
Loving these budget challenges, keep it up!
"Why are you giving it a thumbs up? It wasn't that good." Should have bag lubed the pizza. smh
Dude you actually managed to make it sound pretty thocky and clean! Well, except for the spacebar. That thing was scratchy AF - still great job dude!
You can just solder the hot swap socket back to the pads, btw. Esc key will work fine after that.
I'm fully enjoying the content you make! I've learned a ton and even bought my first keyboard!
I find myself watching your videos mainly for the incredible content , the fact that they're helpful is the icing 🤣
$20 budget omegalul
but the keycap secret sauce though
How about a competition where you only where you only are allowed to use parts that fans sent you for free.
Liked, subbed, turned on all notifs. You're the man, thanks yet again for some awesome content!
4:18 the occosianal audible spring bounce are an absolute god sent audio
Food is free as everyone knows, like everthing you already own
Missed opportunity for "hipNO tech" there at the end hahaha. Great vid as always!
Bro hipyo, I’ve been getting into ergo mecha builds lately and wonder if you will ever do any? Idk why but split ergo keebs and ergo in general are so appealing to me
Loud shout whispering was perfect impression of Betty. Lol. Love her channel.
My first hipyo tech live stream let’s go!! Great vid!!
When the cash is low you gotta amp up the crazy ideas, well done pushing the limits. Great effort
The Betty shout-whisper impression was spot on.
she ABSOLUTELY "shout-whispers" all the time! lol hilarious
1:30 bro am i the only one who absolutely loved the sound of the "bad one" better then the "fantastic one".
I am unreasonably mad that hipyo didn't use the PE foam that was already in the box
Too boring hahaha
The pudding caps have grown on me, since the ambient lighting helps much more to keep track of where the hand on the keyboard is than a single key being legible.
I just listens to your song and I can’t believe that that’s the guy that says howdy hay?!?! Good job man!!
The "ooohooihhh yeahhhhhh" breaks me everytime 😂
Btws... NEW SONG IS FIREEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
7:37 I love this lol
I think the keyboard was still entirely salvageable. All you had to do was solder some wires from the broken off hotswap socket following the PCB traces to the next pads (to either the diode or the next socket pad in the sequence)
I had to do the same thing for a stripped solder pad on my Keychron K4
Is this another keyboard challenge I see Lewis Toh’s video
You can actually fix when a pad falls off by scratching that part of the PCB until you see the copper wire and soldering it on.
Yaaah, a stoopid premiere!
Why is it even a premier ;-;
Does that pcb allow for ISO and split back space? That's impressive at this price point!
I appreciate your effort on it that you tried to do your best nevertheless!
looking forward to it
Ahhhh I see, you're the glarses of this challenge
Just subscribed 😊 love your content
I was actually looking at buying the wormier K61% keyboard off of amazon to get into keyboard modding. Good to see some cheap mods out there.
hey pro tip you can take switches off with a screw driver or even a scissor flat screwdriver works the best and if you have unresponsive keys remove a switch from your numpad or someplace you dont use and switch it out for the one you do use clean all the dirt from the pcb under it also
you can just bridge popped out hotswap sockets :( the right way would of course be soldering iron+wire, but there are other conductive things that can work for long enough to win a challenge... ;)
Honestly though it does sound really good after the mods (even if it doesn’t work) so I’d still say job well done
I have this keyboard but it’s hotswap and I love it!
Hipyo: Ignore the white powder on the table, don't look at that.
Me: Hmmmmmm???
I'm watching this with a modded keyboard, the WK611 and it THOCKS.
When Hipyo is doing voiceover he sounds like the Oversimplified history channel.
All those vids of Hipyo telling us to support the sockets from the back and then he shows us what happens when you don't. 🤣
I have that exact same air humidifier lol
shout whispering indeed
13:15 Hipyo's Nightmare.
ok this is epic
the betty impersonation was the best part of the video
Pretty sure getting those sockets back on wouldn't be too hard, just some glue and some bodge wires (or just solder bridge if the nearby traces are still good).
I was gonna say that carbon touching a pcb with contacts/traces on it (for the parts that don't have solder mask obviously) is not a good idea because it's a conductor but I guess the press n' seal kinda counteracts that? Haha
Why did I think he was gonna use lint in the dust trap of that fan for dampening 😂
hipyo cheating is giving Linus bending the rules in scrapyard wars
Oh you should definitely do a challenge where you have to make a $100-150 keyboard but you only allowed to use clicky switches cuz... CLICKY GANG!
I wanna comment just in Hipyo sees this but, there is a keyboard i found that surprised me because its available in my country (i dont have access to premium custom keyboard sites and can only buy gaming ones). There is a keyboard by Fantech that has Hipyo's favourite gatreon milky yellows that are even pre lubed AND hot swappable. It also has south facing leds and built in case and plate foam The keyboard is called fantech maxfit 67 and it would be cool to see him try it :)
NOOOOO. IT SOUNDED SO GOOD THOUGH
3:40 as a professional british man myself, we say pudding *FAR* more than "dessert".
i love how in EVERY video he does something that we SHOULDN'T DO I ANY WAY lol.
Hey hippio I like the idea of you were to collect all your previous keyboards that you don’t use any more and partner with a company to sell all of them as a charity event.
I’m excited!!!!!
Oh wow your song is really good
I was watching the part where he was using the press and seal, and then a duct tape ad came up out of no where
shouts out to the hot-swappable hotswap socket
switch and click can be the only person in the world who can scream and whisper at the same time
This video makes me want to see a 'scavenge only'/'repurpose only' video ..
Edit for clarifiction: The purpose of the challenge would be to only use materials from other applications, and no purpose-meant stuff. (I wonder if WD-40 is still bad if you use it in the bag?)
13:50 In the words of glarses “So I threw it in a bin”.
Just askin, what is the best akko cs switch? And, is a gateron yellow better than that switch.
I love hipyos jokes
Fun video mate. What pixel/purple desk mat is that? Very curious 👀
Its the pixel comet mat in the description!
Quality content
pretty good thock at the end.
Do you have in plan buying Keychron K8 Pro And make reviev od it?
you could have done the painters tape and and do the holee mod to make it sound better with only 20 dollars
I just bought a new keyboard, it was the "Keychron C1". I wanted to mod it to make it sound good and then I would keep that for as long as possible. Turns out I don't need to, IT'S ALREADY GOOD OUT OF THE BOX!
Yeah i want one but they don't sell them in my country we don't use dollars
Hipyo just reflow the solder balls for the hotswap sockets with a hair dryer and press on it with your finger. EZ quick fix.
You should create the most minimal keyboard possible.
can you please do a video where you upgrade the dierya dk61e?
wait wait wait wait , what do you mean cheating ? This is called a TAcTiCaL aDVaNTagE.
keep up the good content, This channel really inspires me to be something on this platform.
I have this rgb keyboard that my friend gave me awhile ago. It sounds horrible, but I didn’t have anything to fill it with. So I tore up some tissues and stuffed the shreds inside. It sounds pretty good now.
I have modded my Aukey differently 😅, i had a glue gun, so... well, i coated the plastic back with a layer of glue ❤ worked. And obvously lubed all the switches.. well, with spray grease. Yeah. Cause that was not hot swappable 😅. But hey, it worked 😍
You upgraded it so hard it went away (poff) and just became another keyboard.
Ik you won’t look at this but I bought this keyboard a bit ago and came with a silicona pad for o between the board and ye so actually sound good
You could have just resoldered the hotswap sockets, unless you didn't have the time
When I tape modded that ex act keyboard the black parts fell out on the escape key and some numbers
Well. It's just the sound it's not like they need a functioning keyboard
