    Nicely done! Definitely better to hear A/B right next to each other, vs playing 15+ second of each that many do.
    I used peach and rose previously. Sounds great for their price. Testing Sea Salt in newly ordered Q2 to step up from plastic housing and lack of gasket mounting. Excited to see how it improves the typing experience. Especially when your field of work is 90% typing, it's nice to have something which feels good to type with.

      Thank you!!! Ooo I think sea salt is just a recolour of peach if I remember correctly! Niceeee! I also started out with a plastic kbd67 lite and I tried a few more premium boards and they are def more comfortable to type with! I also do a lot of typing so I like to alternate between linear and tactile switches to change things up 🤣

HAHA it’s the very first board I built :D how about you?has your q2 arrived? :) I lubed the housings and stems with a brush and krytox205g0 and bag lubed the springs with 105g0! Yeah it took quite awhile to do but I just took my time and enjoyed the process haha!

    I believe spring length and material makes the most difference. I also have KTT Darlings but I spring swapped them with my Kang Whites(45g, seller sells 45g instead of 60g, Idk why but maybe that's why I got them really cheap) to make the Darlings more clackier which I was achieving. The Darlings have 22mm long spring while the stock springs of Kang Whites are like 16mm or 17mm long. At some point I changed the springs to gold springs and couldn't believe that they made them deeper and muted even though they have similar length. I daily drive the KTT Darlings with shorter springs and I love the clacky sound they make at the expense of bottoming out faster, but I'm used to it by now.

    Darlings are goated. I personally feel the Cabbage are pretty similar to Darlings, but they need to be lubed. I wouldn't recommend lubing your Darlings or Strawberries since they are pretty much perfect stock. I like Strawberries but they are way too muted for me.

    • @keyblobs
      @keyblobs  Год назад +1

      Same, I’m a great fan of the darlings! Yeah the strawberries are really muted, but definitely smoothest stock!

  • @bugatti1710
    @bugatti1710 Год назад +4

    I was going to choose the kang whites at first but I dislike the feel of progressive springs so I thought about the mints but maybe the cabbage tofu could be a great option too because of the long spring which if im not mistaken makes it not increase the force as you go down but now im not sure, If you could tell me the difference between the two it would help. Thanks!

      the Ktt mint feels really smooth in a way that there’s no snappy feeling at all! The darlings feel slightly heavier to me and very satisfying to type violently. More of a poppy heavy feel? Compared to the strawberries. HAHA if you know what I mean.

      My favourites are the darlings and cabbage tofus cos they’re loud! The roses and strawberries are similar in a way they have a sort of mushy bottom out? And are not loud switches. The strawberries are more muted and mushier imo, which makes them sound creamier? They are also smoother stock!

    when doing sound test I suggest not puttinv a PE foam on the pcb, as you can tell it will really make the switches sound alike. Even other brand of switches, that's the stigma of using PE foams. If you want to capture the switches real sound either you use case foam, or only plate foam, or foamless is the way to go.
