WATCH THE VID FOR SOUND: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5L49gHgpfaY.html Check out the WS Switches I used (affiliate): shop.wuquestudio.com/r?id=r61d8h
As a person who has their custom key oard with like 12 different switch types littered throughout their keyboard, it honestly starts to blend in together after you've used it for months.
@@tarragoni4161 because of the way factory lube is applied it doesn't give the optimal smooth feel. So no I don't think factory lube is a good option especially for an enthusiast hobby like this. Noone buys switches for their keyboard and settles for second best sound and feel instead of just manually lubing for the ultimate sound and feel.
I just lubed mine and it def was worth my time. Stock it had a bit of a clack for me since I had a Alu plate. Lubed them up and the higher tone clack is pretty much all gone and more deeper sounding.
@@xXAsunaxKiritoXx It likely does improve the keys a little bit. Though, its probably better to not buy them in the first place if youre going to lube them.
I was already dead set on lubing them. I had set my choice of either durock poms or oil kings and oils came into fruitition after finding a killer deal. My spare keebs with lubed milky yellows, I like them but wanted to try other things. Might consider durock poms next
Those clear ones I believe are redrafting pandas. I built my first keyboard yesterday. I went to micro center and I got an inland gaming my pro 75 percent with the redragon pandas and some blue and white as a profile keycaps. I love the build
"All keyboard switches are the same" - wrong "All MODERN keyboard switches are the same" - 95% correct 5% because although the list is really short there are manufacturers that are coming up with actually new design and reviving good retro designs instead of just manufacturing billion different variations of cherry mx with little to no difference
people never try anything other than the same 1000 /switches where the only difference is spring weight and material and then say that theres not enough variety lol
I feel like the switches are the primary sound generator and all other components mostly dampen or amplify the switch's initial sound. That's why they are most important.
besides one of my orders off amazon missing some switches (blue bag they came in wasn't closed guessing they fell out in the warehouse) pretty happy with WS reds and yellows (yellows are a bit light for my preference), haven't tried the WS heavy tactiles yet
Aurora switch but change out the stem for the heavy tactile for WS and it’s just like a light switch going down and return bump. Cool unique feel if you want to Frankenswitch for rgb silent tactile 🤓
saying theyre all the same is like saying why get optical or mechanical switches cuz theyre the same as membrane, while they do the EXACT same job, they’re completely different
my keyboard with 3 different switches in it kind of makes them blend in, after like a month or 2 you kinda don't feel the difference if you're typing hard enough tbh
I just started getting interested in building custom keyboards and I woulr like ask "What is the best keyswitch for thock?" And also "Is it better getting factory lubed switches or hand lube it?"
actually all switches are different and not the same at all.. that being said, i could be wrong if you just dont use the board. linears, tactile, clicky, different actuation forces all matter after extensive use during a session. as a rhythm player, i can say that every single of our fingers, as well as our wrist all have different properties and needs. i can play with linear for speed, tactile for better feeling, but clicky is a bane. thanks
I have the jelly blacks and other akko switches. They have a poppy clacvky sound that's kind of inconsistent and ever present in their linears and tactiles, and i heavily dislike it. It's really bad in plastic or hollow boards. I recommend gat milky yellows for budget, though the DK Halu Halo switches are pretty good too, but you have to lube these yourself. Highly recommend, the halu Halo switches have a pleasant upstroke and deeper sound than the milky yellows. I am more into tactiles, and i only have akko jelly blacks, Milky yellows, and halu Halo. The halu Halo are my favorite by far for smoothness and having a pleasant sound. I highly recommend staying away from preluded switches that are budget. Higher quality pre lube jobs are leagues better and cost more. My experience with wuque studios is not great, very loud inconsistent switches. For tactiles i go for more expensive options that aren't bank breaking but not budget. The gab between budget and average pricing is crazy but the jump from average to super expensive switches is very hit or miss. For tactiles i love the DK strawberry milk switches (they have a linear version!!!!). Very 'thocky' sound if you're into that. I like them in a poppier clackier build for a more interesting sound, that has good mids.
Nah they ain't. My blue clicky switches helps me drown out that irritating voice in my head. Don't think silent switches can help me achieve that objective.
After a clicky period I am interested to try tactiles and linears (probably linears, reason I didn't like clicky so much is because I first hear the click then the bottom-out too and I think tactiles will be the same), and it's just impossible to know what to get. I thought I would order some samples of well-reviewed switches, but what I wonder is should I go for pre-lubed switches only? Or am I missing out then?
Well first of all a tactile switch will sound just like a linear but with a louder top out sound. You don’t hear the “click” before you bottom out on tactiles. Most people including me despise lubing switches. It is one of if not the most tedious part of keyboard building. There are people who find it relaxing but if you aren’t the type to like slow and repetitive motions then lubing isn’t for you. Plus factory lube these days are on par with hand lubed switches so it’s not necessary unless you’re getting an old gen switch (anything released before 2022)
@@obsidianquill7949 Thanks for the tips! What I ended up doing in the end is order lots of popular switch samples (mostly linears), see if I like them, and then get lots of switches of the one I like the most regardless if it needs lubing or not, and in the end I would decide whether or not I would lube those switches. I think I can do it, and I kind of want to try it. Even if it might end up taking more than one day, haha.
Guess what Hipyo, it’s day 9. Day 9 of what you ask? Well I’m glad you asked. It’s day 9 of asking for a Temu keyboard vid 😳 and you may be thinking, “when will this very cool guy stop asking?” And the answer is: never until it happens 😳
If you don't wanna go the wooting route for analog switches, I'd suggest a light linear of some kind. Because there's not much force required to press them down, you'll be able to react to things quickly and won't feel fatigued after hours of gaming
The keebhut tropical water switches have a long pole meaning a shorter bottom out giving you that “fast” feeling. The ttc gold pinks have a very light spring which allows you to press down faster. Both are immaculate out of the box and don’t cross $40 in price (assuming you get 70 switches)
They didn't sponsor this short but I understand wanting to know when something is an affiliate. At least for a little transparency, I try to have an affiliate for literally every product I look at, if I like it or not because of how subjective keyboards are. I do just genuinely love the WS line of switches, I've personally bought over 1000 of them.
Can you recommend a switch that's a better version of the mx blue? I like that it's lightweight and clicky. I have cream blue v3 and they are heavier and not clicky feeling
all switches are the same? bruh in what case is this true I know I just now got into this hobby but that claim sounds very wrong. I got a cheap amazon keyboard and moded the whole thing got new switches (akko Jelly Blacks) and they sounded so much better and felt better than cheap amazon blue switches. all keyboards sound different because of the switches. so what do you mean by all switches are the same?
Okey, I have one question! I have bought Epomaker keyboard, and their flaming switched are dying like today's teenagers will to live. Can someone tell me if these switched will work for at very least 2 years?
