@@Itsjumbomuffin just lost some passion for it, wanted to pivot to other types of videos but then life hit and i've been riding that out, life's been real good outside of the internet so i just havent had the spark to come back yet.
Not a word, even r/mechanicalkeyboards understand that. You mean "deep" or "high pitched". PSA any switch your favorite RU-vidr calls "thocky" shouldn't even be considered for your next board
Its called jargon within a hobby - its a word within our hobby whether you like deep pitched switches or not. That is a word used to describe deep pitches, used widely across the community. I don't agree with your statement that switches described as such shouldnt be considered for a board - what if someone has a preference for deep pitched boards? Again, this is just a word used to describe pitch. Look, sound is not my end all be all factor in a board, but I think your statement is a little aggro for no good reason.
@@hayden1255 This is simply untrue. I've met many "hardcore enthusiasts" in the community who use the word often. It's just a word. Why exactly does it enrage you?
@coleydotmp4 BT and Andy Nyugen aren't enthusiasts lmao. It doesn't but like people who get into keyboards are going to think that it's a word because youtubers who claim to be enthusiasts say it
@@hayden1255 Those two fellas are not who i am referring to. I see it used on geekhack, on each of the subreddits, on keyboard discord channels, on keyboard twitter, on keyboard insta, by theramin goat, etc etc. And who are you to define who is and isn't an enthusiast? You're being incredibly gate-keepy and weird. Again, its just a word.
Can u do the 10pcs Z1 Switches 5-Pin Linear 48g/40g/32g Force Factory Pre-Lubed Thocky Hifi Key-Switch MZ Studio For Mechanical Keyboard Switches Plate Or PCB Mount
Where can i find those ultra budget looking lube stations your using. Looks like its made of lexan or something thin. I dont wanna spend $20 for a regular sized lube station :(
They're actually simply the packaging of akko purple tactiles. lavenders i think - not sure if they still package them like that though! but i literally wrote "lube station" on the box haha bc they work really well for that.
OMG i just watched keybored talk about doing something similar. Problem is he said lube the tactile bumps of the leaves specifically, which made no sense because he was using glorious bobas. He got rid of the ping but i would never lube stems bumps or the leaves fronts ever as i wind up with linear switches instead of the tactiles they used to be :( I do lube stem legs but only if theres no silicone on the legs. It seems to be better this way. However i dont lube legs bottoms, just the overlubing the rail part to get it all in there. Anyways thanks for confirming for me that im not crazy lool
gooodness i am so late seeing this review Q^Q. Very insightful and def going to grab new springs. I hope I can utilize these in a thocky build that's in the works. Thanks for the great review!!
i'm 2 years late but i'm new into this hobby and just got this JWK T1. it's the best tactile i got across my switches which are akko lavender purple v3 and leobog building block v2. i love it, it's the right amount of tactile that i need. not too heavy, not too light. buuut the black nylon housing is literally blocking my RGB LED, my keyboard looks like it doesn't have any lights.. i'm starting to regret it lol i should've splurged for the original durocks
that's awesome you were able to find this switch and that it worked out so well! I ended up gifting this set in a board for my brother for christmas, he absolutely was drawn to them the second he tried them. <3
WHY!? We have a guy on our team with a super thonky keyboard. We always have to ask him to mute his mic during webex meetings because it's so freaking loud that they other people in the meeting can't hear the person speaking. Imagine if we still worked in an office instead of from home.
sounds like that guy just needs to get a better mic and also some better background noise cancellation software/ enable that on your calls! but yeah some keyboards can get really loud
They don't get it, some of us WANT to mod the damn things, stop modding them for us Keychron... seriously people can't have hobbies nowadays. In all seriousness i'd appreciate if they sold the parts separate for cheaper
Interesting take - i think the keychron boards are more for casual mechanical keyboard fans. if you want to do heavy modding, i would look at other companies that make custom enthusiast boards. there's typically a solid baseline of quality, where you can mod if you want specific sounds or feel. keychron kinda HAS to implement these mods, because without them, the board's baseline is not so great and they would get bad reviews. Does that make sense? its just my theory of why its like this. but yeah i'd check out some other boards. if you're cool with losing the f row, i really fuck with the weikav record alice, good price + needs some mods to sound good and is very adjustable, definitely put some work into the board to get mine sounding great beyond just putting in keycaps and switches. i like it a ton
