HMX Sunset Gleam OG | W1-AT | Plateless | GMK | No Foam | Soundtest
Unfortunately I recently smoked my jst connector on my 1.6mm pcb. That was built with MX Blacks. I decided to cope and rebuild on my 1.2mm pcb. AND I somehow misplaced my tadpoles lol. Was forced to go top mount with this, which turned out pretty good, compensates for the 1.2mm pcb and flex. Now its actually not too flexxy at all despite the 1.2mm pcb and plateless. Recently acquired a ton of sunset gleams during black friday, so might as well use a bunch of em? lol. Also yeeted all stabs except for the space bar. I found on the w1, particularly the vertical keys in the numpad would run slow VERY easily. Its much better to just yeet the stabs. HMX stem wobble is so tight and controlled al...

Cherry MX Brown Hyperglides | Leviatan | Plateless | DCS | No Foam | Soundtest

MX Browns and DCS go hard. I liked them enough in the last video to solder them down and commit to them in my Leviatan (semi permanently). (My other leviatan build is MX Blacks and also really good, used in the keycaps showdown video). Will hang out with these for now. Plateless with DCS, is a super fun combo. I really like how these mx browns behave on this board. These DCS havent been typed o...

Thank you everyone for all the love on the keycap comparison video from a few days ago. That one took me a while to do, I'm glad ppl are consuming it, makes it all worth doing. Back to regular scheduled programming. We last left off with me doing alphas only. I have since finished this batch of mx browns. They started off from Geon unlubed. These are standard MX1A Hyperglides, not broken in, Lu...

Grabbed some Cherry MX1A Browns unlubed from Geon in thocctober sale in November. (Thank you Roy for arranging the local GB). These have been lubed with 3203 lightly on stem only. I hit the top of the stem as I wasn't trying to maximize clack and volume this time just to get a feel for the switches. They have been filmed with TX 0.15 Films, and Spring Swapped with TX Medium 60g springs. Now I k...

These switches were killer in yesterdays video on the PC Envoy. The CF plate and pc envoy loved this switch. Today we rocking PP on the Salvation, it did end up being deeper in this combination. Likely the PP plate lowering pitch slightly. They still clack very clean and loud like the V2U's. Very full.

So one of my friends picked up vints on a board he picked up, didnt like em, i said i will take em, and traded unlubed mx2a blacks for em. tried em out on the salvation to see if i could tell. They are L/F/SS, he doesnt really know the specs, he said TX 55g springs maybe. In any case, i get the appeal of vints, legit hella smooth, quite a bit quieter than the way i do my mx2a switches.

Ahh I see you cerakoted yours. I did the same to my R0 Levi. Yours looks great. I don’t have mine anymore but glad to hear people still love that S tier spacebar
PP. Nice
Split backspace. Not nice
My lawd is HITTTTTING
Wow stabless build!
The pcb had stabs, i took em off, it's way better without lol. Five less points of sound failure lol
Bingsu fits that color perfectly... And gleams carrying as usual lol
DCS is a must buy if you are cherry brown/tactile lover
Ahh was waiting for this video. Awesome build!
Music to my ears!
how thin is DCS? < 1.5mm?
i can measure it, give me a sec
im measuing 1.37mm on gmk, 1.30mm on crp, 0.85mm on dcs
@ ahh that’s hella thin!!
@@DadTech1981 indeed lol
@@shylocutuswoah what, 0.85 😂
too good
bouncy!
yeah, characteristic of plateless builds
them browns 😍
Holy shit, nice build. DCS is so nice with mx browns
DCS sounds great in this combo!!!!
I just soldered these into my levi plateless with dcs. So good. Haven't recorded the video yet
dont know what spring lenght should I choose for my browns :(
Honestly, me either lol. I usually use triple stage geon springs 22mm in mx blacks. But decided to use tx medium 60g this time as its what I had on hand. They seem good though
@@shylocutus how do they feel in comparison? I also use 22mm on nixies/blacks, cause I like a quick and loud return but I dunno if a really long spring is appropiate for tactile switches
@@jaimemartin5622 i was thinking along the same lines, with these, so i went with lower springs, and lubed a lot more surface area than i normally would with blacks. still sticking to stem only. honestly the feel great really. i wasnt trying to go for maximum volume or clack and they still pretty loud/clacky. altho im sure the dcs has a lot to do with it. but when i had gmk on the first video i didnt think it was lacking either
I have 58g SPRiT MX Supreme Springs in my broken in brown hyperglides and they are great. Slightly lighter than stock, but bouncier. Also lubed and filmed the switches feel amazing
@@inspire1ove i have sprit springs in the mx blacks that came with my hoshi. love those springs, i love how they preload a little bit. i gotta get some of those myself one of these days, but they cost so much more than tx or geon lol
so nice, excited to get my browns when I come out
Yeah, they pretty fun, super late to the mx brown party. But a fun change from blacks and all the hmx
Ok can't wait for my DCS should be here next week. I'll run it with browns
good combo for sure, i like
Do these sit tight in plates without foam? Some people mentioned that hmx switches don't sit tight on plates.
Plate yes, pins are usually thinner in general for hmx. Oring might be problematic if its hotswap
These or Xinhai, cheese or clouds?
@@BigDomDaddy if u have any of the above, not necessarily worth swapping out unless u looking for a change. If u don't have any hmx at all these or xinhais would be a great one to start with
@@shylocutus Oh, thanks. I was thinking of getting HMX Yogurt switches. Do you think those are good? And how loud are the Xinhais compared to other HMX switches? Thanks.
@@BigDomDaddy xinhais are one of the loudest by far. yogurts arent as high pitched, but fuller than xinhais, if u never tried xinhais, should consider them or sunset gleams. i also like twilights and yogurts
@@BigDomDaddy oh i just noticed this was on catmint video, catmint > yogurts. both are great though
MX Brown is not a switch, it's a patient with a (medical) condition that is untreatable #preference #dontkillme
🤣
sounds great. how would you compare them to emos?
Emo higher pitched, yogurt louder
@@shylocutus which one do you like more?
@@inspire1ove i like the emo's they sound like xinhais but quieter. the yogurts are good too though, hard to choose, dont forget catmint as well catmint is another great one.
KKB sounds just as good as GMK tbh
strictly sound they are super super close, hard pressed to tell in a blind test i bet.
Great job. I also mostly agree with your evaluation. Big brands performed well, SWK is punching way above its price point. The only contender I am missing here is MTNU from GMK in pbt.
oh yeah, mtnu is a big one not in here either. I dont have this either. i will try to get my hands on a set for followup video, add to list of notable missing ones, and re record a couple of the big guys like gmk/kkb/dcs/crp to compare to the others
Hey there, Thanks for the sound test. I have the HMX cheese. Which is more high pitched and clacky you think? Do you think its worth the buy over cheese since I have shipping and custom tax?
if u have a lot of extra costs importing either of these switches, then maybe just stay on cheese. ghost dragon definitely louder and higher pitched than cheese though
@ Thanks a lot! Also, how do you compare their smoothness and lubing quality? If you were allowed to stay only on one of them, which one would it be? And for longer periods of typing (for example for a writer) is it more tiring to write on ghost dragons?
@@Emrah2908 if you are a writer and want to type a long time without fatigue from sound, get cherry mx blacks or browns 😆
@@shylocutus No, just wanted to know if 60+gr is fatiguing for let’s say 2 hours of period. Also would be very helpful if you could tell me which one is better for you in terms of feel. I love clack and high pitch and trying to find the highest pitched smoothest switch. So need a little help. Thank you
@ Hi again, I’ve ordered ghost dragons from loobedswitches but it has been 6 days and they haven’t shipped yet. I’ve tried to contact but they don’t answer back. Do you have any idea?
Hey there, Thanks for the sound test. I have the HMX cheese. Which is more high pitched and clacky you think?
ghost dragons are definitely higher pitch than cheese
we both have the same speakers pebble v3 yay there good also the switches are!
pebbles are great for the price. good enough for me
@@shylocutus that's good for both of us but one question what do you think would be the most creamy switch you have had?
@@omegatitan8656 i dont play in the creamy field too much, but the akko rosewood was very very deep. maybe the keygeek keylin is another deep switch i ran across.
gmk is something else real question is which one clacks the best and nicely loud kkb pbtfans or dcs
I'm picking dcs, kkb, pbtfans in this order
@@shylocutus Thanks GOAT ❤
why no dcx 🥺, lol great video tho man. feel like dcs sounds the most unique for the cherry profile caps, awesome sound
I know, sadness, I have to get my hands on dcx, milkyway, linworks, osume and maybe make a followup video. If anyone is in the greater Toronto area and wants to lend me a couple sets I can make the content.
honestly i might like dcs more than gmk. i have 3 sets mounted at the moment. would love to get more
@@shylocutus great prices on dcx rn. tbh they're up there with kkb for me. osume is really good quality too, awesome colorways.
@@shylocutus had to pick up sleeper after this, went over my head that it was dcs
@moriimx I'm eyeballing dcs sleeper hard too at $79
Thank you for making this 🙏 have you tried any of the FBB PBT sets?
i have not, the pricing is so low, especially on sale, it has been tempting to give them a try. lots of colorways to choose as well, maybe one of the other viewers can chime in and let us know
Noice comparison. I actually really like that loud DCS spacebar, may have to finally pick up a set just for that.
I hope KKB continues to grow. Their packaging is a keeper. I don't have to buy JTK Max Trays anymore, which adds to the cost. So far, KKB's spacebar sound more solid than GMK's; and it's actually more straight. Of course, I only have one sample size compared to my other GMK sets, but that's a good start. Thankfully, I don't find other people's issue with KKB concerning for my personal taste. I actually care more about not finding any stress marks than texture and font so I'm good!
while the packaging is miles better than gmk, and caps dont go flying every which way, i do find the pegs to be finicky to open and close. as far is sprue marks etc, kkb is great for that.
perfect video! thanks for making this dude
Thank you! I appreciate it! Thank you for watching! I hope you find it helpful!
Nice vid! I'll have my first DCS set soon I hope I'll like it just like the SW. Too many nice sets, my wallet can't keep up lol
DCS is great, i was eyeballing dcs sleeper at drop. $79. i also like DCS Sport walker at signature plastics. pretty tempted to get in on that gb.
@@shylocutus I got a classic WoB but had to get the alternate kit for 7u
oh direct from signature plastics. i guess you missed the gb bowl just ran for dcs intro wob. at least u get it faster!
@@shylocutus i guess cheaper for $49 + $15 for the alternate kit.still no tracking though
49!! was there a bf sale at SP i missed? RIP!
definitely gmk/kkb for me, though i found swk to be rather impressive too. btw we need more leviatan content!
i love my mx blacks build so i havent really found a need to solder a different build lol, but i do have a 5000 word monkeytype asmr on the levi. LOL
Loving the comparisons. I agree with the KKB and GMK comparison, when I close my eyes I can never tell the difference
sound alone, they are damn close. but texture, kerning etc etc, kkb is quite a bit worse, esp when they asking similar pricing within shooting range of gmk
@ can definitely get what you mean in that sense. Thank the lord thinks like evil dolch give me hopes that pricing of ABS goes down😄
@@DestenSheng i mean the sales this weekend, prices pretty reasonable. but even new gmk nk pushing seems to be at the $125 mark for in stock. a lot better than before
@ much better. Still remember the day I had to spend like $150 on sets like kaiju and polybius. Still worth every dime in my opinion tho 💪🏼
@@DestenSheng oh yeah, i have paid $150 plenty of times on sets, rubrehose was $170 after ship during gb
My own ranking 1. GMK (10/10) 2. SWK (8/10) 3. DCS (7/10, 10/10 if you have it with cherry brown) 4. KKB (7/10) 5. EPBT ~ CRP (6/10) 6. PbtFans (4/10) 7. DMK ~ JTK (0/10) too muted and dull for my taste I never like mt3 profile so i wont rank it
i didnt find dmk or jtk to be dull at all, at least on this board with mx blacks, be surprised if ppl could tell the difference in a blind test, sound only. but yes swk is sleeper set that slaps for the price. esp when on sale. $39 for SW dolch? what? lol
i just tried dcs on mx browns.. very nice indeed! great combo
@@shylocutus SWK sounding that good was super surprising to me, excellent video by the way :)
incredible! thanks for the efforts!
tysm for watching! I appreciate the support!
Well done!
phew! lol
Slappin
have been really enjoying browns recently, a great tactile if you prefer linears
yeah really fun lil change
this or the akko mirror. which is smoother and louder
This might actually be louder actually. Catmint higher pitched tho. Smoothness might be mirror, altho both are super smooth
@@shylocutus do you hear any ticking sound when typing by any chance.
@@chrism6015 not at all
is this switch better than HMX xinhai, cloud or cheese?
at least as good, better is subjective, those 3 are og hmx clack, this one has same tone/clack as og hmx clack which is why i push it. i dont do really do videos of the deeper hmx. if you like those 3, this one is definitely worth considering along with twilight
Contemplating on picking up butter browns and some other broken-in switches from RNDKBD. I don't know if it's gonna be worth it if I am already enjoying the "regular" unbroken-in MX blacks
honestly, i think these could use some of the rnd treatment, its just a lot more $$ lol. be sure to keep the parts together or do them 1 at a time if u do buy some, dont mix the pieces together or u will undo all the breaking in
@@shylocutus gotta take advantage of the sale. Yeah doing it one at a time is gonna be a lil tedious.
@@DadTech1981 if u havent yet be sure to grab their big 3x10 lube tray, its cheap and will keep all your top + stem + bottom in order so u can keep them all together instead of 1 by 1
Can relate when you said "too scratchy in a good way". The tactile bump is not that pronounced and feels like it's tickling the tip of your fingers lol. I picked up two more batches of unlubed MX2A blacks. I just filmed and spring swapped and called it a day. Sounds "raw" and louder if that makes sense
yeah i can imagine, i would probably prefer a hair of lube on stem, but this way u can break them in manually before lubing just by typing on em for a few months
@@shylocutus that's what i thought. DIY manual break-in
@@DadTech1981 i got a DAS keyboard off fb marketplace a year ago for $10, came with mx browns, i gave it to a girl to use at work. shes been manually breaking in for me, i figure i harvest it another year from now for the switches lol
DCS, MX Brown and PC plate together are just heaven.
@@longhoangnguyen8701 I can't wait to throw on some dcs. I have pc on the boop I can try these in once I finished lubing the rest
Sounds nice and how old are you? Just i curiositied.
@@Alemdar-2007 oh I'm ancient lol. Born in the 70's lol
How do you find them? I would not even call them Tactile. But I love them!
i like em, i feel like they almost on the verge of too scratchy if there is such a thing, i wouldnt mind trying some broken in ones. i do think i prefer mx blacks though. what plates have you tried em on so far
@@shylocutus The broken ones are extremely nice! Super smooth. I've tried them on all the usual plates. Alu & POM is the far best.
