the wowstick kit comes with a few extended bits to fit in that one place where the wowstick didnt make you say wow. they are very useful, especially for keyboards.
I actually really like the idea of using different switches for specific keys. I probably wouldn't have switched out the wasd but I've also never tried it and having lighter switches on those for gaming also kinda sounds like it would be really comfy. All the keys that aren't letters make perfect sense to change out
Only if there was on-top aRGB. I had that weird imagination of the top comment : ID80 Crystal , Aqua Kings and G.Skill Crystals. It'd look amazing if you're into acrylic stuff.
Honestly, sounds even clackier. Think I prefer the brass... A lot of gasket mounts depends on how much flex you can actually get. For instance the Freebird TKL, with the gummy mount, flexes a *lot* with a POM plate.
I think it was this video where I first saw the Crystal and fell in love. Just last week I finally built my ID 87 Crystal with Durock Shrimps, and it’s amazing.
I like the pom plate sound better, but the brass plate definitely looks better, and adds a really nice accent. So I think while daily using this, keep them pom plate, and if its ever just a display piece then put the brass plate back in
Honest recommendation for the next iteration of the wood plate: have it laser cut. The edges will be a lot less... splintery that way. But who has LASERS? Most likely, your local sign shop. They can use the same file you have for the POM one.
so a little late to this. but i just got a idabao id80 crystal. they definitely made some changes to the board. they ended up going with rubber gaskets which look nice but with the brass plate sadly does not get much flex. but i pared mine with Durock Teal linears, GMK Lasers, Dorock clear V2. this is my first mid tear build and i have to say going from the Keychron Q1 with Tecsee ice candy switches and Akko Neons its a big difference and i love it.
It definitely sounds better no doubt about that but for me to judge the typing experience I would have to be there, and if it’s your daily driver I’m guessing it good 👍
I got the bestype and I gotta say, I love it. It is HEFTY, and I love the rigidity, since I'm a tactile gal. Also I'm using silent switches cause I don't live alone, sound isn't much of a concern... I had 62g Zilents though and I'm planning on switching to a heavier spring. But the bestype is my endgame board ...
I wish you would make a mod video for Crystal Clear cases. like how to to rid of the hollow sound with out taking a way it's clear. I do not want to seeing pillow inside or have there's some tape. i don't if it is possible.
I am getting the Pulsar PCMK TKL Keyboard Barebone it is my first custom keybroad but I think it is going to be hollow sounding. I do not like hollow. But I do not want to see whatever I put in it.
I actually really want either an idobao80 crystal, or godspeed75 velocity, or the glitchxfrost in clear, but I feel like the godspeed and frost are going to be done by the time I can afford either, so the id80 it is??? It's that or the k80 xo PC from monstargear. These vids on your id80 are great for me as someone looking for something very similar :O
Awesome video. What I would like to know is where can I get that AMAZING crystal clear keyboard. That thing looks SICK!! But seriously where can I buy it???
...$75 for an electric screw driver? I'll pass. I have that same regular screw driver kit btw. the one that has interchangeable precision screw heads. I love that kit :)
Why... Why do I watch these vids. Thanks to all you custom mech youtubers my banks scared... I already got myself a nice keyset, wrist rest and am waiting on lube. Heck im looking into going fully custom instead of modding my dierya. Why did I go down this rabbit hole 😥
hey hipyo, you should do a series of budget keyboard and setup accessories.
yes
That is my discord pfp figgy
heres a quick one buy 1-2mm ball bearings. if you know what im talking about then your awesome.

I want to see this case with the clear Aqua King switches and translucent caps, that would be crazy

And glorious goat stabs
@@milkkee540 durock v2
@@deccapod8957 are they translucent? I was trying to think of translucent ones and ive only ever seen black durrock stabs
This might help: For a softer typing experience, remove the top gaskets. Just leave the bottom gaskets on so that the plate has enough play. 👍🏼
Hipyo: "I modded my $300 keyboard and made it SO MUCH better?!"
Also Hipyo: Meh feels kinda the same
7:14 - brass plate
7:30 - pom plate
thanks hipyo ur very cool
thought that said porn plate, also accurate.
It brought a more "pop" sound signature. Pretty good
Sound test of our own in the comments - genius.
Dude your recent vids have been super good!! Keep it up! I really like seeing more of your personality come out in the videos.
I appreciate that!
Hipyo can you do a series where you slowly upgrade a keyboard?
that would be a SICK series
Great idea, except I have a feeling each video would be a bit boring, I mean it would just be a video of him like putting in keycaps
@HipyoTech Start with a base keychron
some people finally like my ideas for once :D
Maybe the series can be over CZcams shorts 😳

5:50 Hipyo's a gumby
idk how to spell that
Yes get the wow stick it changed my life. From helping me fixing my pc to keeping me company when I'm lonely its always there for you🥰
The Chef John of mech keyboards, so relaxing to listen to...
The pom sounds great! I need to check out that vendor and get some made :) and every time I see that crystal idobao... Makes me want one
Only if there was on-top aRGB. I had that weird imagination of the top comment : ID80 Crystal , Aqua Kings and G.Skill Crystals. It'd look amazing if you're into acrylic stuff.
Hipyo can you make a artiscan keycaps please!!!
omg this case is amazing
I kinda like how you put the switches, it gives a unique spirit
Yes

I totally agree
this is something that i will never be able to pay for, nor physically do. nice.
Honest recommendation for the next iteration of the wood plate: have it laser cut. The edges will be a lot less... splintery that way. But who has LASERS? Most likely, your local sign shop. They can use the same file you have for the POM one.
Wow, the beginning of the rabbit hole

Gotta be honest, I know brass has fallen out of favour meteorically, but I think I prefer it here. Just a bit quieter and subtler.
would really like a mini review with the PC plate on this
Preference Warning.
I stuck till the end! :D
Such a sick looking board
preference warning
just for you hipyo
This is the most amazing looking keyboard I have ever seen.. I need it.
Preference warning!
The crystal case looks so nice in the sunlight!
the after sounds pretty good
Brass still gets my vote for sound, great video!
honestly i like it with the brass plate better
I can’t wait to see that CF plate vid from what I seen it eventuates the thoccyness
*yes that’s a word now*
the delete key should have a super heavy feel so it feels like you are destroying something when you hit it
Like the C64 restore key with its small capacitor.
I want the Idobao crystal so bad right now.
Dat AFTER! Very noice. We luv u Hipyo. Have a good easter weekend!
What switch do you want?
Hipyo: Yes
that infinkey cafe set is so cute
Pom is magical on almost every board if the pom plate is cut well that is lol
These old vids are *Platinum*
Alright I need that kitty mug from the beginning
It definitely sounds better no doubt about that but for me to judge the typing experience I would have to be there, and if it’s your daily driver I’m guessing it good 👍
The Wowstick. I love mine lol
Live your wild, multi switch keyboard dreams 🔥🔥
🙌
And here I am, typing with a steel plate.
POM sounds good my guy!
preference warning
Definitely sounds a lot better with the POM plate. I can’t deal with sharp sounds either
Nice video. Great editing!
i think it was better before
prefrance warning
damn, now i'm curious about how it would be in the wood plate
Toby's cnc go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Preference Warning!
I think everglide aquakings would really compliment your crystal id80
I want the wow stick😏🤤😫😖
Typing test
I got the bestype and I gotta say, I love it. It is HEFTY, and I love the rigidity, since I'm a tactile gal. Also I'm using silent switches cause I don't live alone, sound isn't much of a concern... I had 62g Zilents though and I'm planning on switching to a heavier spring. But the bestype is my endgame board ...
I like the sound more of the POM tbh
preference warning bois
You are like the Food Wishes of mechanical keyboards.
I just did the math for my dream keyboard, press F to pay respects.
Shhhh guys, we can't let hipyo know his purpose....
hipyo's purpose is to make thocc
This video also had a lot of preference warning
Lowkey I kinda want to see an FR4 Plate on this board.
preference warning! genious :D

that cafe is fire
Great video once again !
Thank you! Cheers!
**Preference Warning** **WOOoooooOOooOOoW**
wow WAY BETTER sounding.
Definitely still like brass over pom in this case.
very late, and i thank you for your "preference warning"

You forgot the link, ya Gumby
1:30 oh god
Pretty sure he had different audio settings for his mic with the pom test. You can hear buzzing
same mic, but my AC turned on
Maybe you could leave a link to the guy that cuts pom plates ? Could prolly hire him to cut something for the singaporean community
Hipyo you gumby
Such goodness of a vid, undecided about the board ( i have a v2 )
Awesome video. What I would like to know is where can I get that AMAZING crystal clear keyboard. That thing looks SICK!!
But seriously where can I buy it???
search up idaboa
there is no such thing as too many nachos
Tell this to my toilet
These premiers are killing me😭😭
Try an car board plate
...$75 for an electric screw driver? I'll pass. I have that same regular screw driver kit btw. the one that has interchangeable precision screw heads. I love that kit :)
Wait... Is that the Hamaji Neo music?
POM plate definitely much better

Why... Why do I watch these vids. Thanks to all you custom mech youtubers my banks scared... I already got myself a nice keyset, wrist rest and am waiting on lube. Heck im looking into going fully custom instead of modding my dierya. Why did I go down this rabbit hole 😥
I guess you could say the wow stick was too big
Funny how we have nothing to do so we wait for a video to be published
Mmmmm POM plate yummmmmm
did it change anything. yesn't
Biggie Nono, preference warning, oop-

Sadly I don’t think wooden plates would be the best because if you spill a bit of liquid on your board the wood will expand
you could always treat it.
