The Big Bad Budget Tactile Switch Comparison
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- I recorded all of the sound tests in the same session with the same settings, then normalized them all together as one track so that you can hear how each switch sounds relative to one another. Also, it's on the same key instead of a typing test to try and eliminate any variations between keyboards.
Links to everything and prices this video is based on:

Incredible work bro. I'm sure that this video costed you a lot of effort. Thank you so much, you really deserve more views and subs. Thank you.
😊 glad it could help 👌
Very well produced! And you only have 200 some odd subs?! Count me in!
Very surprised at how well I liked the tecsee pandas..... thanks for helping me decide on a switch for my first build!
thanks for the conclusions!
prices are a bit higher than i'd like recently so i'll be holding back for now
idk why the way you speak reminds me of chef John from foodwishes. Also, good vid
Finally a sound test where the user doesn't SMASH the button.
😂 i tried adding a bit of both cause i do indeed mash sometimes during certain games
@@SomethingAzn if you bottom out I can't hear a difference be it linear or tactile.
@@burhanbudak6041 Oh yeah, at some point, if you press hard enough, all switches feel the same
Good vid :)
Gateron browns felt like slightly scratchier reds. I'm never going back to those even at their relatively low price. Here's hoping the Tecsee Pandas are worth it, because I couldn't find any Akko Ocean Blues.
They are supposedly recolored coffee chip ice cream which is my personal favorite tactile currently, even over u4t. I bet you will like it. Enjoy!
@Rezza Pradana Putra I personally prefer the feel of the coffee chip ice cream. But wife prefers the boba u4t. It's a preference thing...both are good in my opinion.
I liked the part where you lubed they keys :)
Nice word, dude.
i bought 1 year ago the first feker panda and the "newer" v2. i am using the v1 right now and they are really good, i don't have any problem with them. the v2 are very good too and the quality is ok, they came very tactile and are "pre-lubed" switches
Where'd you get the v2? I didn't even know they existed 😮
@@SomethingAzn the V2 are the ones with the double spring, but I think that all of them now are V2. The v1 came in a ugly cardboard with a sticker that said feker on it
@@xoriso3d Oh okay, so not a huge change thankfully
Do you accept requests? Since you already have both I was wondering what the tecsee purples housing would sound like with akko ocean blues stem? Or even the feker pandas
I’ll double check for you, but I think the akko oceans stems don’t fit in any other housings. The rails are wider than regular stems for some reason
@@SomethingAzn i guess my only option is to get bobas if I want to upgrade them, what about Gat milkys or gat brown bottoms do those fit?
Apparently the Gateron Yellow Pros or any of the pro versions have wider stem wells and could fit the poles. Was hoping if you could confirm if you have that switch
@@leinardesteves3987 Oh wow, okay. So I just checked again and the Akko stems definitely do not fit in the Tecsee housing. However, they barely just fit in the Gateron brown housing. It's a bit stiff, but I'm not sure if it's because of the wide rails or the different leg design.
@@SomethingAzn I just frankenswitched mine. Not sure if I'm just lucky but I was able to get full clearance with Gateron Blues + Akko ocean blue stem. They're definitely a lot quieter now. Though I have the Clear top gaterons, I'll probably swap them for milkys
The bump is much more pronounced now, probably because of the gateron blue's leaf. Yet it's smooth and I'm able to bottom out with no sluggishness
@@leinardesteves3987 Awesome, glad it worked!
Great vid 👍 😊. I wanna buy these switches but I’m having trouble finding the best ones for me, any recommendations?
Switches are very personal tbh
I'd avoid cherry and gateron unless you want light tactiles
Tecsee pandas are great for the money but might be too heavier for some people
Akko ocean blue are very great to start with since they come in smaller packs
@@SomethingAzn Tecsee seems to be a good option for me, but they aren’t SMD switch’s, can you suggest another one?
@@brenocampos100 Which keyboard do you have?
@@SomethingAzn right now a GK64 hot-swap, but i’m planning to buy a gamakay k87
@@brenocampos100 Sorry, I'm not too familiar with what SMD means for switches. Both of those keyboards look fine for the Tecsee's?
you should add ajazz kiwis bro they be crazy
Wait why are cherry browns on here I thought they were linear?
😂 can't tell if you're joking, but those are the cherry reds if you're serious
Last 3. Oh my God.
Akko CS Lavenders lubed for $40 on Amazon. Thoughts?
40$!? man i only bought those for like 12$ or smt its unlubed tho but still sound really good
where are the TTC Bluish White? they deserve more attention because they are awsome
lol first time I've heard about them, but now I'm really interested
Where's a good place to get them? The ones I've found on aliexpress are about $0.7/switch which moves them out of the budget range 😢
@@SomethingAzn You can find them a bunch of places that'll advertise them at .49 per. But none of those places offer free shipping. You'll very rarely find them for a total cost of less than .70 per. And for whatever strange reason unlike 90% of switches where you get a discount by buying big lots all the places that I've seen sell groups of more than x10 size lots charge even more per switch. Distribution on them seems pretty wonky.
@@exturkconner dang, that’s a feelsbad
@@SomethingAzn ttc probably produces the best switches in China right now. I really love their switches.though they specialise in linear switches
Would you recommend the Kailh Polia switches at all?
Not unless you can get them on sale. They don't really serve a purpose except as Halo True alternatives
@@SomethingAzn Gotcha ok, I was thinking about getting a Ducky One 2 SF with the Polias so it'd be the same as most of the other switches that with it so I think in that regard that would be good
Edit: Same as in price* some other switches cost more.
@@ghostly_remains Oh yeah, if you're set on the board and there aren't any better switches that come with it then it's not a bad idea
@@SomethingAzn Yeah it's just Cherry and Kailh switches that come with it and it's pretty much just the basic ones but the board does offer Polias and Kailh Silent Pink but it's extra for the pinks (just 5 bucks).
here before it blows up
yes
You should test the akko cs lavander purple too it is way more better than the ocean blue
What’s the difference between them? It looks like just the spring changed based off their website
@@SomethingAzn lavander has no pre-travel distance before hitting the bump that is why you can feel more the tactility on lavander purple
@@Amutomoto Ohhh, that sounds pretty good. I’ll check em out!
@@SomethingAzn lavender has stronger tactile bump and no pretravel
Would you recomend lav purple or tecsee panda? (if you've tried the panda)
13:24 6:14 comparing springs
What mic?
Blue yeti! Not the best, but it gets the job done
@@SomethingAzn Quality of the mic doesn't really matter when you are testing relative things anyhow. As long as it's consistent between the tests. You aren't looking for anything specific you are looking for differences.
The Boba U4t are about $0.80-$1.00 I wouldn't really consider those "budget"
Yeah, they’re just there to show what you’re giving up by going budget
I'm sorry but I hate it when people don't type. Typing one key constantly is not the same as typing
Same but this video wouldn't have come out if I had to buy and swap a full keyboard of switches instead of a single switch
hmmm I WONDER WHERE HE GETS THIS VIDEO FORMAT
ik u mentioned shoobs but looks blatant
And your content is so great /s
@@blandeauxfillaskii7344 I'm not posting for views, I'm posting for my personal collection so I don't have a billion files on my pc. It's on public cause my classmates sometimes wanna see
Awesome effort and video, but please, talk a bit slower and clearer, it is impossible to understand 50% of what you say, it be like biden defining america in one word..
