Reupload because I guess audio didn't want to be a part of the video when I rendered. So the video turned into a silent switch test 😂 Sorry about that!
This video was a part of my Linear Switch Awards video: ruclips.net/video/HSEJkayFYoo/видео.html

Did the blind test, picked Gat Inks both times!

[@BrianStormy]

Let’s go!

[@SharrodVisuals]

Yeah I prefer gat inks aswell

[@comunedipadova1790]

mx blacks are very close, maybe even better

[@mist4488]

Same here!

[@bbox8057]

Same

[@intimalvino863]

Lol thought I wanted the no créams then picked the c3 tangerines both times

[@BrianStormy]

Nice nice 👍🏻

[@numan6693]

in both tests i liked the C3 and Inks pretty nice. Thanks for the blind test, that was the final decision maker

[@deluxesofa]

different positions already an invalid test

[@matilope1876]

?

[@JennoCuber]

@@matilope1876 Each key will sound different because of its location, so hes saying its a invalid test because of that

[@matilope1876]

Ok thanks I didn’t know

[@dionysdumbasschannel7772]

yes but its done multiple times with the switches being placed in different locations

[@guachito33]

true, location of the key affects sound for sure.

[@Jadisons]

It's between the Ink Blacks and the C3 Tangerines for me. Guess I'll have to look into both! Thanks!

[@dillston4016]

Gat Inks are always my fave sound profile, smooth and deep baby

[@BrianStormy]

yup inks are my fav too

[@ceoofaim2787]

where do you get them bc I only see the v2 ones

[@maan6168]

@@ceoofaim2787 the v2 ones are the better ones

[@iancrow4388]

Yo I thought that the black Inks, tangerines, and creams sounded good on both without knowing a 10l% guess and both times I couldn’t decide between either

[@glowiboi]

C3 Tangerines both times!

[@algaez8809]

To my own surprise as some looking into ink blacks I really liked the milky yellows and tangerines.
Edit: On the second ones I liked ink black and mx black

[@AbdurRahman-vj6hq]

do it for best sound tactile switch

[@BrianStormy]

once I get more tactile switches

[@reejer]

Lol I liked tangies yellows and nk creams the most

[@correct_lee]

Ink blacks, creams, and tangerines but I already knew that lmao. Still don't know which to buy!!!

[@BrianStormy]

All of them 😈

[@aryydoespiano]

These are stock, right? Or are they lubed?

[@Hugo-mw3uh]

Are they lubed ?

[@dino5975]

Chose tangerines both times. I think I know which switch I'm gonna buy

[@lulcy789]

Dude please just make the whole keyboard, I know it’s a lot of work, but it’s super hard to tell a difference between switches when it’s just ONE single key.

[@mirzaiscandle]

I still love the tangerines

[@clacksandpop7390]

I picked nk creams nk dry yellows c3 tangies and in black both times

[@jiminn]

yo what are those keycaps

[@joni2084]

What keycap set is the first one?

[@michaelmolina978]

picked gat inks both times lol of course im using it on most boards

[@BrianStormy]

Haha nice nice I love gat inks for sure

[@hanabanana4572]

Does it have a heavy feeling if so are there any other linear switches which are medium in spring weight

[@noob_exe_boffy]

Ig I love gat inks

[@pierce4040]

I know this is very late but, what plate is it on??

[@astrodratyx5274]

im new sould i get NK creams or tangerines... other:

[@pierce4040]

creams are more expensive and take a wile to break in and lube. But, tangerines are cheaper and less maintenance. If you have a high budget and a lot of time go creams but if you don't have too much time or a mid to low budget go tangerines.

[@profacecreator3810]

Unlike the other comment go for tangies as they are a lot more smooth and sound better.

[@seanmacnamara4049]

gat inks and creams twice

[@BrianStormy]

Very nice 👍🏻

[@mangosnap1213]

Thanks for another good video

[@BrianStormy]

Thanks Noah!

@@BrianStormy yea bro

[@quackx3958]

What is the first switch, called I'm new to keyboards and want a switch that's good for gaming (fast response time) has a silent but satisfying and tactile sound, any recommendations?

[@bid2323]

boba u4t, boba u4 silents, or the durock t1. you can just replace the springs for a lighter one if you want a lighter feel but a significant and satisfying tactile bump.:)

[@quackx3958]

@@bid2323 is there a good but cheap keyboard with those switches

[@bid2323]

@@quackx3958 there's none but you can build one. I just built mine on a GK61x diy kit. cost me about ~130 usd. Same price as most branded gaming keyboards but the quality and the typing experience just feels better imo.

[@quackx3958]

@@bid2323 k thankx

[@BrianStormy]

There’s no best switch for gaming

[@reviewforthetube6485]

What board are you using to test them in?

[@intelligence6900]

Tangerine is king until further notice

[@harrypioter1121]

Every time ink blacks

[@YzorYzor]

Gat Inks sound the best by a long shot.

[@xawier9046]

appreciate the effort out into this vid but every different key on the board will produce a different sound so this isnt rly a valid test

[@BrianStormy]

That’s true but you’d be surprised by the amount of people commenting that they picked the same switch 🤷🏻‍♀️ at the end of the day I’m just trying to help people who might not have the switches hear the sound profile. Hope that helps!

[@undertaker7991]

This is really confusing. I own mx blacks, and i don't really like them irl, but i picked it as my favorite in both boards here...? what?!

[@floorface6478]

I got nk 1 mx black 2 gat ink 1

[@acev8681]

I picked nk creams both times, wtf is wrong with me? lol

[@shaf010._]

Idk what i should choose nk creams or ink blacks what feels the best ?

[@dr.dirtydan497]

Definitely ink blacks feel better.
Nk creams sound the best but are a scratchy af

[@RocketmanReal]

Banana split

[@dejxyoob5520]

are these stock?

[@hashmoneyzzz]

lubed and filmed
