Making Gateron SUPER Reds: Are 150g Springs Viable? 

I feel instead of calling these 150g springs we should refer to these as 0.15kg spring switches.

I can't even lie, I didn't feel unentertained at one single point of this video. Great job dude!

HAHA "which I have already been using for two weeks" love the MKBHD meme

I honestly just about forgot how I stumbled across your channel just a couple of minutes ago, but I definitely enjoy your content. I can tell that you don't have the best of audio, or a background environment, but the fact that you were still able to keep me as well as many, many other people entertained through your personality and editing skills has earned you a sub, and a long term viewer. Keep it up man, I mean it.

Whomst'd've even needs a password? Just make a keyboard so Chadly that virgins physically cannot use it.

we need to go heavier

These switches have got tendinitis written all over it lmao

Friend: Oh gateron reds, those must be great for gaming You: well.....

If you put these on Z and X for OSU! Imagine how great you would be when you took them off. Basically Rock Lee with his weights LOL

I bet you got swole fingers now lol, nice vid! Also enjoyed that “mr sleeves” meme from the other day that you referenced here

Literally the first keyboard channel that makes me laugh. Great job! Would love to see more of these weirds experiments

"It had been my dream for, as long as I'd been browsing that evening" Fucking accurate.

Glarses: Does an experiment Should anyone use this? Glarses, every single time: Absolutely not.

When I used to write business software on an Apple II (yes it was a very long time ago) we put a rubber washer under the reset key to prevent accidentally pressing it. So for that purpose a very heavy key spring makes sense.

Just wait til you try mega blacks, they have ~700g bottom out!

This is the superb content on mechanical keyboards that I have been waiting for, looking to build my first custom and these videos are really educational in the -addicting- nature of the hobby. btw just discovered your channel a few minutes ago, loving it

So glad I found this! Been on a binge through your videoes and love your videos and editing!

The sound it makes when not bottoming out sounds like building in a lego game holy shit that is glorious

About to switch out my 78g zealious v2 with 150g springs and I've never been this excited! Love the channel dude, your brand of humor is top tier I tell you, keep up the awesome work man!

I just realized Glarses casually has his CTH-480 in the background... he is osu gamer confirmed

This is the second video that i have heard "as the deer" as the sad song. Nice little cameo for a hymn.

"all switches are good for gaming"

Will make these for when I feel like leaving an entire Harry Potter book 4 out on top of my keyboard.

bro how is this guy so underrated ive been binge watching all of his videos lmao

I have to listen to this at least once a day because it sounds so nice

when playing fps games, I would usually use all of my five fingers to move in-game. So that would be around 600g of sustained weight on my hands. That would really make my hands really chonky with all those muscles building up.

“It had been my dream since.. as long as I had been browsing that evening” Too real.

Glarses: I'ma do typing test on 150gram *Hand's veins intensifies*

This would be a cool mod for the keyswitch where the windows key is so that its harder to accidentally press it.

I think that the Idea behind the original Super Blacks was to make a keyboard that would feel natural to people who were used to using old school typewriters, where every actuation had to move a rather complex and heavy mechanism.

i have watched all of the videos on this channel twice :D love it

I can’t imagine myself playing osu! with these switches.

3:17 When you try explaining your addiction to crystal meth to your friends.

Not gonna lie i don’t know shit about keyboards but you funny asf

that's basically the keyboard roleplaying as a typewriter

Bro... When I started looking at mechanical keyboards I thought I was going down a rabbit hole, a dark, lonely rabbit hole. Then I started looking at keyboard reviews and came across your channel. Informative and funny. Not to mention I do video editing and I can appreciate the time it takes to piece these together. Subbed.

Cherry should make these and call them: "cherry mx carpal tunnel" Edit: thanks for 69 likes, pls no one add any more

I've been using navy BOX and i'm really interested in a nice and smooth linear switch ... Kailh burnt yellow , MX black .. no no, too weak. You have touched my interest here

The amount of effort that you put into these videos are insane!!!! I can’t believe you haven’t blown up yet

This is the first video i have seen by you I found you on recommended. I subbed because I like your personality in videos.

I've been part of the mechanical keyboard community for 34 years and I'm so happy RU-vid is recommending this type of content to me. Thank you for the content

You're actually the calebcity of the mech keyboard community

IT SOUNDS SO GOOD THO 😭

how in the fuck are you flying under the radar at only 13k subs this is some top quality content and I love it and boom new subscriber for you. Can't wait for kilo switches and 10g switches!!

Too bad you couldn’t put on some MJ in the background during the sound test, “just beat iiiiiiiit, beat iiiiiiiit!” Lol. Nice vid.

How to exercise while typing lol I wonder what it would feel like to alternate 220 bpm bursts/long streams with that amount of force lol

The switch for the discerning bodybuilder/mech keyboard enthusiast

Your commentary and editing are absolutely hilarious. Not to mention, the videos are also informative. It's the best of both worlds, which makes researching about keyboards just that much more fun. Keep up the fantastic work, man.

never have i in my life not pressed a switch that didnt bottom out with minimum effort looks like ill be getting some of those springs too

I really want to see this in a really clicky switch and just hear "kachunk" every time you click.

Finally i can use my full brass keycaps on my keyboard

bro you are such an underated utuber and deserve more popularity

The Anti Rage Typing after dyeing

"CHAD SUPER REDS" *noice*

i love your video format and style dude omds nobody in tech or keyboards is like this

Just added 150g springs to my Keychron K8 aluminum frame kb with Gateron Browns. I guess they’re “super browns” now? They’re stiff as all get-out but feels great in use! It’s nearly impossible to type a letter by mistake. You can rest your fingers on the keys without actuating the key which is surprisingly reassuring. It reminds me of typing on an old school mechanical typewriter. The Keychron has a high quality & solid “thock” sound when typing. Also I put Gateron blacks on the Mac Command Key and left shift key because when I press a two key combo like “CMD-C” it’s a little difficult when both keys are so heavy. I found it makes it much better to have a couple of keys with a normal spring and the rest with heavy ones. A true custom keyboard!

I hit that subscribe button after I heard, "What kind of Gigachad needs 150g springs?" the term Gigachad has never crossed my mind but will now be an often used word in my vocabulary.

Yo this sounds so much like lubed space invaders

I’m so happy RU-vid recommended one of your videos, cuz this content is very good. So happy I found your channel!

Glarses, the only person that I've seen who I've seen using Bing...this guy really does go against the grain

Imagine playing osu on these

Keep up the amazing videos man! Such potential for this channal to blow up :) best of luck for your exams xD

😂 i love this. Everyone else is making the best feel mech keyboard but this guy is on the outer side of the spectrum. Keep it up man!

How do you only have 1800 subscribers? This is an amazing vbideo and your editing of it and your on screen personality is amazing that I would have thought you had a few hundred thousand subs at least. I just subbed, and I hope you keep making great videos like this. I love the raw opinion and the comedy. This is amazing content please keep it up :)

Been watchung your videos because they were in my recommended. Really enjoying them actually. Keep up the good work

I’ve watched a couple of your videos now, and I forgot why I ever started, as 1) I don’t type and 2) I don’t plan to be a typist But you’re just phenomenally entertaining. Very dynamic and expressive work, while being complex and analytical enough to make me not feel like a plebeian wasting my time

Its so enjoyable to watch someone do something their passionate about.

I just stumbled across this channel from a comment on another small keyboard youtuber's video and I have watched all of your videos now and they're very entertaining. I was your 710th subscriber. I can't wait for more videos like this, I hope you can find your 1kg springs!

sounds like popcorn, that is a crisp switch you've made there.

During the typing test Glarses legit made it look like normal weight springs

I got so conflicted listening to the type test. Loved it. Hated it, loved it again.

Shopping for springs to make a Frankenstein outemu brown switch (because why not?) and came across 200g actuation springs...the image of me resting peacefully beside my computer when a keycap and stem launch at the ceiling fan is all I could imagine.

Your channel deserves way way more subscribers

Your personality is so engaging that I didn't notice the absolute mess of a background until 5 minutes in.

This was a way better video than I expected it to be. Nice Job Bro!

it actually sounds really good

Nice to finally find a british mechanical keyboard channel! Quality videos mate. Really struggling to get GMK screw-in stabs and switch films for my first build at the moment. :(

I have a GK61 on order. I haven't used a mechanical keyboard since.... oh thirty years ago with the model Ms in typing class if then. You have contributed to my research along with me finding an amazon listing for switch springs that might be SUPER fun. Plan on using the keyboard totally unmodded save for the replacement keycaps and a neoprene mat in the case. Then go from there; because i plan on having diffrent keys with diffrent weights and click to them. Like I want escape and Windows to be ultra heavy as a ''bro are you SURE you wanna hit this key?' ditto probably with caps lock. Mostly because the keyboard is the interface to most of what i do. i want it to be awesome.

they sound really good i think, very firm. you can hear the force behind each key press

Wow, your pacing, editing and writing is fantastic. Subscribed.

this is hilarious. keep it up man!

to heck with your keycaps getting sent into orbit, we need a 1kg switch immediately

It had been my dream as long as I’ve been browsing that evening 😂🤣 The feeling when you find something amazing but it’s either discontinued or out of stock :(

Man you rock! You’re competent and funny! You’re videos are so pleasant to watch! I didn’t even know you where the one behind that post on Reddit. That made me laugh bad

I never knew keyboard talks could be so funny thank youuuu!

this guy is gonna blow up soon, ik know it. also great content!!!

It was my dream.... For as long as I had been browsing that night... I'm fucking dead....

Big fan of these videos - video quality also seems much improved! You're great fun to watch and I hope you continue getting some well deserved exposure by the Algorithm (at least that's how I found your channel). Best of luck for your exams!

God i love this channel

*Ahh, yes... my favorite type of switch... with that ohh, so distinctive Clack sound... the "Mr. Krabs Keyboard"... it LITERALLY sounds like Mr. Krabs walking...*

I love how I can see the extreme difference in the amount of force you had to put into bottoming them out vs just typing 😂

Finally a new channel on my recommended!!!!! Love this content

Great videos man, keep enjoying what you're doing!

Comming soon to a theater near you.." killer kung fu klicky keyboard fingers 2 - revenge of the five deadly fingers"

I can literally feel the Chad energy on 150g bottom out

I have a friend who spring swapped 150g springs into silent alpacas. I tried typing on it and it felt like using windshield wipers on a windshield covered in dirt. Almost like fingernails on a chalkboard. And he uses them EVERY DAY. What a madlad.

1:41 ah yes, super duper heavy switch springs bring up hurricanes as the first video result.

the sound is glorious

I dont know anything about keyboards and I found this super insightful

I have never touched a mechanical keyboard, and I have absolutely no idea what he talks about in every video but yet here I am watching everything...
