Ooh the sound of these switches scratch my brain in the perfect way! Love how different they sound to other modern switches on the market! Love this breakdown, thanks BT
Could we possibly get a sound test on a no foam build? I'd like to hear these switches in their raw state. Also, great review as always, I love watching your content!
Loving the presentation on these videos. I do struggle with the sound tests though because you're using the Rama M65. For whatever reason, that case in particular dominates the sound profile, so all switches end up sounding similar. It's probably the mute mount. I think a Tofu or some entry level board might actually be better for the typing tests.
Bro this video is a masterpiece. Feelin the whole vibe here- the lighting, acoustics, atmosphere, and the review. Love your content man. Hope you have a Happy New Year 🎉
Great content! Switch question, what would you say are the quietest switches you can get on a prebuilt? I lean towards linear as far as actuation goes.
If the Hyperglide Black is smoother then I don't know what to say... I have the Hyperglide Black and it's one of the scratchiest switches I've come across. Even when lubed it's no match to many modern linear switches in the last 2 years. Cherry needs to step up their game, really.
The thing is Cherry makes a shit ton more switches than any of the other companies, so their molds wear out way faster & they need to get more mileage out of them than the competitors. So what ends up happening is this cycle of Cherry switches being just as good if not better than the boutique switches when their molds are fresh, which quickly tapers off to scratchy & wobbly switches that leave people wondering what all the hype was about. I've seen it happen twice so far since I've been in the hobby. The first with the original retool of MX black molds, now with the hyperglides (which was just another retooling they decided to name cause of the fanfare from the last retooling). The best rule of thumb I've come by to get the best version of whatever switch you want is to get them as early as possible. The earlier in the mold's lifetime the switches were made the better smoothness & tolerances they will have.
Many prefer the chalky feeling and character it adds to the switch. Not disagreeing, but if you know you prefer a smoother switch, there are plenty of options (most are smooth these days)
@@NordenzurZukunft It's not even a chalky feeling like with Kailh Cream or Oooolong for example. Some scratchy switches are satisfying, I agree. Cherry's scratchiness feels like an irritating hard plastic, it's awful in comparison.
Strange that yours came out thocky. They have the classic MX Black scratchy clack to me but just a touch deeper. Maybe you lubed them a lot heavier then me I got a batch and they are scratchy as all hell 😂 Never had switches this scratchy before. Luckily I just received a DingKey break in machine and they respond super well to breaking in. (Non lubed variant) I hate the spring weight though so I’m changing them to TX 62g long
i try many switches, but i only keep Cherry HG Black full mods for everyday use, i think i will take 1 set Nixie and 1 set Brown to use in new keyboard :))
Hyperglides are smoother than a baby's butt?? My 650k ultraglides arent even as smooth as stock gateron yellows, that's just not even remotely close to true.
One quick question: As you've tried n tested so many gaming peripherals still do you have some bad aim days or bad aim weeks in valorant type of games? Or you just swap mouse and good to go In my case I did'nt switch the sensi since 1.5 years still from past week whiffing too much and got tilted followed by uninstallation
haha i think we all have our off days. sleep, mental state all play a factor. usually it doesn't last longer than a day or 2 for me. If you find your aim is off try shooting range/aim trainers before you hop into a game. Usually bad aim is due to getting complacent/going on autopilot. Working on fundamentals will get you back in the mode of hitting your shot and being aware of what you're doing. Hope this helps!
@@BTaesthetics In my case, aim trainer doesn't help much Only what affects is mental state like can't even hit HS from back and eventually several bad ganes in a row. I recently switched from Logitech to Razer G203 to Viper mini Maybe It's due to shape difference or I'm just overthinking. 🫣 By the way great videos man (informative & aesthetically pleasing) Watching since years but never commented. Thanks for replying
Out of curiosity is there any way to beyblade ur switches? By that I mean can I take two switches apart swap some pieces put them back together and essentially make a fusion of them that's of my own creation
M65-B isnt really doing it justice imo. maybe a diff board the sound might be better? cause hg blacks on a diff board with an alu plate is godtier but here its kinda meh
I genuinely feel like the biggest idiot alive, i found this old keyboard at my workplace they threw out, i got the caps, but was too lazy too desolder the switches and thought they weren't worth the effort anyways so threw the rest out...
they sound smooth lubed and filmed, but the keyboard adds too much of it's character, which I'm afraid is not great for switch sound comparisons :D No offernce to RAMA ofc, outside of this context it's surely a top tier board
I'm guessing it wouldn't because of something to do with copyright issues but if they're so scarce, wouldn't it be possible for another company to produce a switch with the same specs?
yes, but the composition of the platic cherry uses and the tooling they use drastically change the switches sound and feel. even if it had the same plastic composition just a different mold would make it sound and feel different and vice versa with same mold different plastic. and no one but cherry knows the exact formula to their own plastic i believe
Sorry Brandon, when you mentioned Nixies coming back I had to place my order before watching. The build sounded great but c'mon man you know mx blacks sound best with an aluminum plate ;)
The most sought after that no one ever heard. What are even those switchs? No switch is as sought after as holy pandas, vintage blacks and mint alps blues and not even out of the box alps blues are this price.
