    I was looking for a comparison on north vs south facing switches, and whether or not it causes any interference. i searched "north led switches and GMK key caps" thinking there is no way i'm going to find what i'm looking for lol. Of course, your channel pops up. Love it! Thank you sir, keep it up!

    As someone that's still fairly new to the custom mk scene, this was by far the best explanation of cherry profile keycap interference. It does make me wonder though since some switches are able to avoid the interference issue despite being north-facing if switch companies altering the top housing to accomodate PCBs with north-facing LEDs are an easier and less costly fix than pcbs being made with south-facing LEDs.

      @3ildcat  5 лет назад

      Yes. Epbt & Jtk caps are known for low-profile keycaps and they look pretty much same but they are slightly different from GMK. Leopold stock keycaps are also one of low-profile keycaps but lower and thicker than GMK. Thanks for sharing useful information.

      That shouldn't cause problem on your escape keys; it's profile should be high enough to not cause any interference. It's only very low profile keycaps that's affected like R3 Cherry profile. Usually corner keys sound different because of the location of the key in relation with other keys and the case.

      (also new), from what I understan, interference refers to the sound that the switch-chassis makes when hitting lower profile keycaps. this does not happen with south facing leds, because with those, the LED itself will hit the keycap first.

    Hi Wildcat, regarding the interference, have you tried the cheap switch gaskets? They raise the caps by a little bit so that they do not hit the tops of the switches and it may just solve the issue for your savage 65!

    • @3ildcat
      @3ildcat  4 года назад +1

      Yeah I know the washers but I don't like to use. It will elevate the keycaps that would look ugly for me.
      However, my Savage65 has the south-facing switch support PCB so no problem at all without them.

    Hi wildcat, does interference only occur in that row’s sculpt or does it all rows?

    • @3ildcat
      @3ildcat  4 года назад

      As far as I know, on R2, R3
      If LEDs are tall, maybe other rows too

      It's the orientation of the switch that causes the interference

    Do you know if it's the specific housing and stem combo of holy panda that prevents interference or will halo trues achieve this as well? In other words, why does the holy panda stick out when bottomed, is it the stem, housing, or both?

      Halo stem's long pole + pandas short mid-pole = no interference
      halo true = interference

    dear wildcat, you have just saved me $200. i want the north facing led(like the 9 year old that i am) but i want to know the switches that will not be affected by this . You mentioned the holy pandas. What are the other switches that also wont be affected by the north facing led with the cherry profile keycaps i have?

    So just to be clear, if I were to get a gmmk with gateron brown switches and gmk caps will I have issues with bottoming out? I have read a bunch of forums but it is difficult to find a final consensus. Are there any affordable hot swap keyboards that have south facing switches?
