    Not gonna lie, you could call these the budget Novelkeys Cream switches haha but they can't replace them just yet.
    P.S. It might not seem like I broken in the Caps enough, but I can assure you that they're smooth sounding from arms distance. As mentioned in the video, it's best to take more time to break them in with LOTS of typing tests :)

    Hi! Maybe you could include bottom out force on the switches now that time instead of only that accusation force

      Actuation* force, but yes you're right!

      @@silver1838 I got some milky cap yellows for a few keyboards for my family and they are a bit scratchy but nothing that you would notice while typing unless you're looking for it (mind you I type on unlubed keys normally because I like a bit of scratch). Also if you film them it's like typing on pillows.

    This video would be much better if you actually showed us the sound of all of them before lubing. I guess you didn't lube the yellow top housing because it already had lube but why not show us unluged yellows.
    I wanted to hear how they sound stock :/..

    • @RitzyBusiness
      @RitzyBusiness 3 года назад +2

      If you game and can lube yellow inks are probably for you. They have a shorter actuation distance(around 1.5) and a little more weight to balance it. Yellow caps on the other hand have the bog standard 2mm, thocc hard out of the box, and are nice to use stock. They arent special for gaming and might be a bit light if you're a typist, that said it's a good compromise between reds and blacks.

      Is it a tedious process to lube switches? If it is, I'll just get these pre lubed switches instead of getting Gateron Yellows and lubing them.

      Yes. The materials are differnt. The milkys sound lower pitched but they have slightly less friction.

  • @coolkatmehrfth
    @coolkatmehrfth 4 года назад

    Never understood the complaints about the Gateron Yellow’s bottom out sound. They are cheap switches with a lot of housing wobble. Filming them makes a world of difference.
