Kypchaks were one of the well-known medieval nomadic tribes, who spoke a Turkic language and inhabited, before the Mongol-Tartar invasion, vast steppe lands from the Irtysh river in the east to the Danube in the west, these tribes named Desht-i-Kypchak.

The Kypchaks aren't too different from the countless other steppe peoples or still nomadic/semi-nomadic Turks.
However, we may have the context to make the Kypchaks into something other than just a generic steppe people, if we are willing to fib their identity a little and incorporate some Volga-Bulgarian unit types.
The cumans and kypchaks did make a serious impact on places like Georgia and the Caucus and even as far as Egypt.

In the 6th century to the beginning of the 8th century, the time of the Great Mongols' invasion, several states existed in the region successively replacing one another: the Western-Turkic, Tyurgesh and Karluk kaganates, and the states of the Oguzes, Karakhanids, Kimaks, and Kypchaks.

 Kipchaks - meaning of word   (Site not responding. Last check: )
If people feel strongly about this then it can be left, but on the whole using the most familiar form of a word seems to me to be a good rule of thumb.
It's true that "ы" is normally transliterated as "y" in ''Russian'', but the sound represented by the same cyrillic letter in Kazakh is quite different, not a Russian "uy" but the Turkic back-vowel "u" (as in 'put') which in modern Turkish in the latin script is represented by an "i" without a dot.
Accordingly I still think "Kipchak" is the best spelling, whereas "Kypchak" is a wholly unfamiliar form of the word, and is no more accurate as a transliteration.
