Factory lubing is bad. Lubed and filmed is great.

@@BigDomDaddy thats why...here those switch cost around $0.50 each, and still need lubed & filmed? There better stock switch like hmx or others

@@novansetyawan3033 hmx got QC issues. Very few switches are perfect on it's own. And personal likings still matter. Oil kings are not perfect, but a lot of people like those. Factory lubing is still not perfect. Hand lubing will always be better. And just because a switch costs more than others doesn't mean it's better or perfect in any way.

@@BigDomDaddy Well...I think pricy switches that still need to be hand lubed or filmed because the stem wobbles really sucks, but of course that's just my personal opinion, some people like scratchy Cherry switches. Many of the newer switches are almost comparable in quality to it in stock, regarding QC thankfully almost all of the hmx switches I've tried are safe and the stock almost perfect. Well of course it goes back to each preference again

@@novansetyawan3033 I get ya. I don't wanna lube my switches also. Since the factory lubing and upstroke balance of some switches are still not up there, we gotta do the extra work for making those sound better. And gateron have very bad factory lubing imo.

spring ping!

better buy something else imo.

😂 very scary lion. but yea, need a lube

it's cs. the v3 was not released yet when I filmed this video.

Switches are not color coded

Yes and it was genius

lol I just saw this. I thought it is more important to know which audio recording device I was using since I already showed which switch is in which keyboard in first. Still, thank you for the suggestion and I'll improve next time!

Normal better

if we factor in the price, I think it's the best

HUH? OFC NO LOL

no but clear switch can make rgb shine brighter

no

​@@thetrashman5258Too late I already bought it, but it disappoints me a lot, it's inappropriate for competition because the latency is too high

Try Vertex V1. Tecsee strawberry ice linear is also amazing.

It appears to be, North facing make sure to use long pole switches if you're going for cherry profile keycaps

Yes and yes

If you mean the feeling then yes, it has tactility but no sound

Nice! Have fun building!

@@k_to_the_b kinda excited, my first board here

@quietkid012 I’m 90% finished with my build, just the stabs have some rattling and need to do force break mods and tune the stabs, maybe holee mod/band aid mod while I’m at it, hoping to solve the rattling issue, how bout you!

Quiet*

While it's not loud, I wouldn't say the oil king is quiet, especially compared to U4. If you only count switches in this shorts, I think it's Outemu silver. But if it's all I have tried, I think it's Outemu Silent Lemon. I have a sound test video of it in my channel!

@@k_to_the_b alright thank you, I’ll check it!

No problem, thanks for watching!

Very mediocre switch in its stock form. While the bump is quite big, the short and light spring make the tactility quite low. After I swapped to longer and heavier spring, it feels so much better. It become close to the Jwick T1 in my opinion.

It's the Aifei Blue and white theme. I think you can get it from AliExpress! I got it from Taobao tho.

Thank you!

Yeah, it's really cheap. I actually bought it for around 70-80 USD, but thought it would be better to show the base price for international viewers.

you better get the white version since they're phasing out the white one

Quality issue?

Probably the sound from the stabilizer. Maybe you can try lubing them.

I also didn't lube these switches.

It really depends on how much you want aluminum board and gasket mount. If it doesn't matter much, then I think the V1 is already a good choice.

Probably the combination of not so good mic and tape mod.

@@k_to_the_b did u mod it or is it stock? because im worried the board might be really pingy

I tape modded it. I think it's just the sound quality, in real life, it doesn't ping much (or at all).

I actually bought the Chinese ver. from Taobao, so it is a bit cheaper (around $80 with shipping). 😅 But yeah, with shipping included, the international version, which started at $99, would costs around $120. And at that price, maybe it's better to save up a bit more, and buy better board.

@@k_to_the_b do you know if there's a difference between the Chinese version vs International version?

Tape for tape mod and force break mod, PCB mount stab, and QMK for international version.

@@k_to_the_b oh wow, nice

To be honest, I can't recommend the silent lemon as a silent alternative for the lavender purple since the tactility is quite low. I would recommend you to look for other silent tactile like the outemu cream, outemu toms, or maybe the new haimu silent switch.

@@k_to_the_b Thank you. Very helpful!

No problem! Thank you for watching!

Outemu cream yellow(this is silent too), and durock shrimp.

@@k_to_the_b thank you so much for sharing! haimu is crazy good man haha!

Thank you!

It's called "rune" from 3bmech but the group buy already ended a few months ago. 😅

Unfortunately I bought it from my local vendor, so I don't think you would be able to buy it from them. Maybe you can try to find one in your local vendor and if you can't find it, maybe you can try searching in AliExpress!

Also thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Not sure, I will try it and let you know.

Sure! I bought it from Shopee Thailand tho. 😅 shopee.co.th/product/149576309/19031807647?smtt=0.14118570-1665538609.9 Update: I also found this in AliExpress a.aliexpress.com/_mKlUJic seems ligit as there are some reviews already.

It's really good! Light and snappy. My second favorite switch!

It's very different. Outemu Silent Lemon feels like brown to me, so more pre travel and much smaller bump compared to U4.

I think it's mainly because it's so quiet, so you can only hear the scratch and the dampener 😅

All switches that uses silicone or rubber dampeners will feel swishy. And since these are tactiles, you will hear/feel the tactile event as scratchy. It's just how silent tactiles are. The linear version of these (outemu silent peach) are more quiet and feel smoother. You could try Haimu or Skyloong glaciers for silents that doesn't use silicone dampeners to get rid of the mushy feels

@@mibcd I already bought the lime lol, its still on its way. is there any way to reduce the squishy feeling? im planning to lube before installing to my keyboard. though its my first time modding so any suggestions are much appreciated. Hi from Indonesia wkwk land

I mean you can cut off the dampener, but not only is it time-consuming, it will also remove the 'silent' part of the switch. 😅

@@k_to_the_b yup its so quiet, no clicks or clacks, just dabs hahaha, haven't lube them yet. Oh yeah, I didn't realize the the top housing is not the clear type, so the rgb from the case is so muffled. Im planning to change the top housing with some good ol' blue switch i have laying around. I hope they will fit.

Sadly, I never tried the cream yellow nor the tom. I heard good things about them tho. I suggest watching this video for more details on these switches. ruclips.net/video/VKU1m0IFCV8/видео.html

cream yellows have more tac then akkos, and are super silent.

Thanks for the suggestion!

@@k_to_the_b no prob, always happy to help!

Have you done any other mod too? I think the spacebar is the result of all the mod combined.

@@k_to_the_b just taped coins at the bottom of case and tape modded the pcb but the spacebar sounds like coins clacking and its worse than ratlle.

@@kevinclarkmonterde9477 seems like your coins are moving around. Maybe you can try other mod like foam mod or polyfill mod to fill in the hollowness instead.

Thank you for watching! For me, the silent lemon feels like gateron brown with its pre travel and small bump. If you want bigger bump silent tactile, I would suggest looking at the Outemu TOM or cream yellow instead.

Now that you mentioned it, yea it kinda sounds like that lol. Thank you Ray!
