THOCK or CLACK? Glorious GMMK PRO | Gazzew Boba U4T 62g | Aluminum Plate | Typing Test ASMR 

Thank you so much!! I used GMK Stabilizers as my Durock V2s weren't fitting properly. I also used all the screws for the PCB and plate, although I am planning to remove the four middle screws to see the difference :)

@@gelcam100 You should get a PC plate, I heard that those fit Durock stabs better and sounded thoccier. It’s only 20$ for Glorious store.

I definitely think lubing made a huge difference for me! Well, I tend to lube and film all of my switches, no matter how tight the housings are or how good the factory lubing is just because i like doing it haha! But it made more of a huge difference for me when it comes to the feel of the switch as i found the bump to be too intense stock. I lubed the legs for this specific batch just to tone down the tactility a little bit! In terms of sound, I think filming made more of a difference as they sound more solid now compared to its stock form. I also found that the bottom out sound to be deeper when I lubed them! Hope this helps :)

This is an old comment, but I thought ide chime in. 62g has a slightly stronger downstroke tactility, slightly weaker on the upstroke. It is very slight, but what's not slight is how much lighter 62g feels compared to 68 despite such a small difference. My favorite u4ts are with two stage springs, 80g flash quark 2 stage was the most tactile on both up and down stroke. It felt more responsive on the upstroke as well since it springs back quicker. As for sound I have no opinion, I only care about feel.

Yup! That’s why tolerances are so tight when using third-party pcb mount stabs hahaha

Heya! In terms of how deep the switches sound, there isn't really much of a difference, and even if there is, it's probably unnoticeable! Maybe just for the 68g, it could possibly tend to be a little higher-pitched because of the faster upclack/return compared to the lighter spring, but then again it could be a very small difference that the ears wouldn't probably hear it. Although the lubing method would play a big role in this. If you want it to sound a bit deeper, I suggest lubing the top housings where the stem rails hit as this is what usually causes the high-pitched clack on some switches. As for hand size, I don't think any of these would matter as they wouldn't really make a difference with whatever you get. But when it comes to hand strength, if you want something that wouldnt really strain your hands too much (unless youre used to cherry mx blacks/black inks), then get the 62g! Hope this helps!

did you do it? how was it?

I did have some issues with the stabs at first! The GOAT Stabs were terrible, and lubing them didn't do the job so I had to replace them with GMK Stabs since my Durock V2s werent fitting properly. But even with the GMK, I still had to force it to fit the plate and it scratched the sides of the stabilizers. However, it made a huge difference and typing on it feels and sounds so much better!

You can just add a tiny amount of lube on the sides and it will go in with much ease. I'm using the gold bronze with durock stabs. Easy fit.

I would say these are a tad bit better in my opinion because the v2’s kinda are a bit loose but not everyone has that issue and if that’s not a risk than it just depends on how thocky you like it cus like every switch has its own unique thock, you can also check out novelkey dry yellows, they also get pretty thocky

It’s worth lubing but 205g0 is risky whereas 3203 has near no chance of overlubing, if you mess up it can make some switches unuseable

Hi! Nope, I actually lubed the legs as well. I lubed all parts because I felt that the tactility was a bit too strong for me. I actually love how it turned out!

@@gelcam100 aye lubing tactile switch gang less goo(because i dont like tactileeee)

@@tonchok9488 just get linear smhhh

@@mmstv3604 i always get linear (vint blacks or ultraglide blacks)

I kept them all in! I'm still too lazy to take it all apart lol. But I am planning to add the extra gaskets as well as remove some of the screws real soon!

@@gelcam100 Thank you! I'm still waiting on my GMMK pro so these are really helpful cause I was planning on having Boba U4T on them as well haha

@@gelcam100 hi where would the extra gaskets go? I'm using the same build stock but mine leans more towards a clack, is it because I did not lube them?

GMMK Pro definitely. Well, they’re two really different boards, so it would really depend on one’s preference to say the least. I would prefer the GMMK Pro because I like a typing experience that’s in between soft and stiff, if that’s even a thing (?) and i feel like that’s exactly what the board gives me. I used to have an ID80 and I really noticed how much stiffer an integrated plate it compared to this, even if the “gasket” mounting isn’t really well-executed. Given that the Tofu60 uses a tray mount, i find it really stiff and unequal just because of how it’s mounted on the board with the screws securing it to the case even with a polycarbonate plate. Wasn’t a huge fan of the typing experience on that. In terms of sound, I like the GMMK Pro more. Although the gaskets didn’t do much in terms of feel, i believe it made the sound much more equal. I heard some people complaining on how it’s pretty muted and linears could sound the same, and I honestly see where that can come from. I’m currently using it with the PCB foam removed and it honestly made the sound much more vibrant! Made it better in that aspect imo.

@@gelcam100 This is a good question. I have spent a fortune on my Tofu60 with Tealios V2 and Boba U4T switches and I am struggling to get it sounding decent. I like look of the GMMK Pro and I am thinking about preordering one and if it sounds nicer than an optimised TOFU60 then this would be good.

Yes, I want to know to. They look amazing.

@SweatYT what u mean, he didn't say where he bought them.

@SweatYT yes, I know which ones they are. But the question was WHERE he bought them.

@@ties9123 can you not use google or what

@@xephh can you tell me from what site? The only thing that pops up is some weird ass ebay in signapore.

205g0!

They're called PBT Honor! ... Although they are GMK clones, but I plan to purchase the real version when the groupbuy for the set is fulfilled

@@gelcam100 Can u give link for keycaps?

I'm so glad to read comments and see I'm not the only one with this issue. Coming from a Drop CTRL, the same switches were way more pronounced.

@@crazeedriver2005 I did the PE Foam mod! (There's probably videos about it around here) Sandwiched a sheet of the foam pouch it came in between the switches and the PCB (so the switches will poke holes through the foam and onto the sockets). Now it sounds 300% thockier than without :-)

I got it from MD Custom Mousepad on Lazada! Thank you so much!

bro,,, you can use krytox 205g0 for tactiles, just use a light amount lol. :3ildcat uses 205g0 for all his switches including tactiles haha

It's all personal preference. Some people nuke the legs of their tactiles with lube too... reduces tactility but maybe some people like that muted tactile feel.

Yeah, there was a little on the left side. I got too lazy to tune it because the plate was too hard to get out haha! Good enough for me since I space on the right side :)

Clock.

Mike, you're here din pala. 😊
