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
@@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
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
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.
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
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.
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
Loving the comparisons. I agree with the KKB and GMK comparison, when I close my eyes I can never tell the difference

@ 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
incredible! thanks for the efforts!
tysm for watching! I appreciate the support!

perfect video! thanks for making this dude
Thank you! I appreciate it! Thank you for watching! I hope you find it helpful!
Noice comparison.
I actually really like that loud DCS spacebar, may have to finally pick up a set just for that.

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
Well done!
phew! lol
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
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
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 ❤
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.
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 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 :)
