@@masterchiefone5111 YOOO IT'S YOU! LOL i'm using it right now, i love that clacky goodness. it's basically the same as yours but i also put plate foam and lubed the zaku's with 3203. i even copied your finalmouse starlight 12 but i got the zeus edition lol
Mad props for the raw honesty despite being a new creator and having a relationship with RAMA. Really setting yourself up nicely for the future. Love your work as always mate.
Great to see your channel is popping off! I mentioned it before, but the quality of these vids is just there on all fronts. I like mechanical keyboard content but I feel like you could honestly make videos about anything and it would be super worth watching.
As much as I love the idea... 1. I don't really support RAMA's current work ethics and price point... 2. As mucha s mute mounts are interesting, JWK moulds as of late do not really require films, or in this case...mute pads. there may be acoustic variances by the addition but they're not necessary as far as their functions as pre-installed film goes. 3. These are JWKs, and unless you want to RAMA everything in your build I don't think it at all makes sense to buy these, esp if it's international. Buying alternatives like Poseidon switches or other JWK long poles are probably a good, if not better idea. that's just my take though, great video, nice style, and aspect ratio, I enjoyed the video very much, ponker bless!
I'm pretty sure these are manufactured by Gateron, not JWK. Other than that, yeah, all valid points. $1+ for long pole linears that you can get analogues of for a quarter of the price just doesn't make sense. Not to mention all the drama surrounding communication and the breakoff with Kate/HIBI. Wouldn't really recommend these to anyone for those reasons
@@stidal9562 drama about kate and hibi is not the problem, it's the current lack of transparency with Thermal GB progress with questionable procedures, another questionable gatekeeping on Metal artisan reproduction, and their prohibition of producing second or third round of artisans, and the downfall of rama in between 2020-2021 that just kills all incentive to buy RAMA keebs for me.
@@stidal9562 i read a tad bit on theremin and realised this mistake, thanks for letting me know! despite being gateron, the clear pc top gat switches never sounded good to me. Neither do these switches. i'll pass, hahah.
If you like these switches, I think you'll really like both the Gateron Vermilion Birds and the Gateron Azure Dragons. They are sibling switches, linear and tactile, that both use longer two stage springs :)
Still waiting for my thermal, it's been a pretty unreasonable amount of time like 450 days, so I'd be weary buying anything from them. These shouldn't be as bad as a keyboard but the amount of bs in the updates for thermal and thermal plus with updates making no logical sense (the cases have been sitting at the factory for 6 mountbs with no explanation and why they have been waiting to order PCBs untill after case production and shipping to Melbourne) along with recent QC problems with jules ect, on top of not being able to cancel orders after 180 days. If you buy from them, you'll be along for the ride, with little to no information, it simply sholdnt take a month to finish basic things the company has already achieved like packaging
Your channel actually deserves more subscribers. I love your production quality and the aesthetics of your videos are sooo on point. I subscribed to you when you only had 500 subs and i fell in love with your style of making videos. Keep up the amazing work!
I am so stoked for what your content is already bringing to the community. And you’ve got me considering an order of these for my Frog, not that you intended for that. But your reaction has me very interested.
wow I found this channel through the RAMA channel and I love your style of videography. The changing formats, the grain, the music, really nice to watch. Subbed
agree on the double stage spring bit.. in my instance, once i tried them (ttc wild) i never went back to regular springs. i can see more switch manufacturers making double stage the default
The thing you said about regular springs is true. Ever since I tried out 2 stage springs, I can't go back anymore. The typing experience is definitely more fun.
Another great video Avi - love the style. Looking forward to seeing your channel take off. Thanks for the hard work. I bought these too, and I'm very excited to try them out, especially the two-stage spring. Going to go great with the U80 and a PC plate I think. Really impressed with the stock sound.
100% great products from RAMA but the business model is lack luster. Geon really is the MVP in the hobby, he knows how to run a business and stay in contact with his community.
NEW AVI VIDEO!! I found you content from the QK65 video, when I was deciding whether to go for Zoom or the QwertyKeys (that Lilac Zoom won out in the end), but your proffessional production and incredible voice and excellent soundtracking - it's incredible.
Ayyy I'm so glad man! I just got my hands on a Zoom too, gonna be featured in my next vid. Keen to hear your thoughts! Thanks for the kind words too, really appreciate it man
thank you boss! nah not for good - i'm sure i'll come back to it at some point. i'm now using my m65b as my main instead of the qk65 and just ported over the stabs and switches haha.
Your quality somehow gets better every video, im seriously impressed by that. Your last video popped off, lets see if it happens with this one too 👀 Also love your transparency about all the drama & controversy of RAMA ^^
I've always had good communication with Rama Works. I don't understand other people's issues. I had an issue with a PCB 1 year after buying it and they were helpful troubleshooting it and sending a free replacement. I've been in 5 group buys with no issues.
Another amazing video! Your videos are definitely my biggest inspiration for my own, thanks again for the feedback on my last one I really appreciate it
It almost feels like i'm watching a Tarantino movie when I watch your videos. Your editing style is something I haven't seen before, and I like it. Keep it up!
Sounds like long poles are the way to go for the frog. I soldered hyperglides into my frog but I think I’m going to have to put something long pole like a tungsten.
I as well do not like the bottom out feel of long pole switches. Using them with a half plate or even plateless seems to help though. Great review btw.
@@AvinashKunjamboo They sound really nice. I've placed an order myself. Looking forward to your thoughts if you could compare with Ink Black V2s (they are the only linears I have currently)
hyperglides really shine with a spring swap, so if you havent done that please do that.(the stock springs are pretty bad) because the weight of the mx blacks is really heavy, it also becomes really quiet and kinda muffles the true sound of the switch
This video brought my frog to life
how was the frog zaku?
@@masterchiefone5111 YOOO IT'S YOU! LOL i'm using it right now, i love that clacky goodness. it's basically the same as yours but i also put plate foam and lubed the zaku's with 3203. i even copied your finalmouse starlight 12 but i got the zeus edition lol
Loved your style!
Woah mate thanks for stopping by!! Dropped you a message on insta if you have the time 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Is it just me or are avi and anzel the same person😳😳
You have great film making skills and it shows. Well done!
1:16 twins
when I saw anzel Ima be honest I thought it was you
Mad props for the raw honesty despite being a new creator and having a relationship with RAMA. Really setting yourself up nicely for the future. Love your work as always mate.
Thanks so much bro! Such a tricky topic to cover. Stoked to have you back

Thanks so much for doing this video Avi and being honest, the quality of your work is incredible and we can’t wait to see more! 💛💛💛
Thank you team!
Oooooh you got me excited for my samples.
Nice to see Anzel’s face in your video as well. Y’all are twinning hard.
Damn son you're copping too?? Soon we're gonna see all three of us in a vid hey 👀👀
Thanks for having me on, Avi! Incredible work once again, you're bringing something truly special to the hobby!!
Thank you for your time Anzel!!! So keen to hear your thoughts on these switches too!!
Did you guys coordinate outfits?! POG lol. Just bought a black beanie and grey pull over for the next video 🤩.
I thought yall were the same person 💀
u guys look like brothers fr
Beautiful vid. 🤌🏼 Subbed
Mr BadSeed! Thanks so much for stopping by man. Dropped you a msg on Insta! Would love to connect when you have the time
i loved the editing of this video!
Ayyy thank you bro! Welcome back!
Excited to try these. Especially after you two chat about it at 0:58. Great review and content.
And it does sound the best on that frog!
@@MatthewEncina Thank you for your time and kind words once again Matthew! The Frog really does let it shine
The subtle editing nuances, the inclusion of mistakes used as comic relief, you make everything look effortless, which is so, so refreshing 😀
Welcome back mate!! So so kind of you - means a lot man!
good review, they are so expensive though looking at the price in AUD made me sick
These switches sound really great stock - especially in the Frog. Love your style of editing and shooting. Keep it up!
Thank you thank you! Totally agree, didn't lube them once for this vid
woke up to another Avi video!! poggers, love the new review style and talking straight about Rama's communication issue, straight forward
Ayyy stoked to have you back chief! Glad you like the new format. Such a tricky topic to navigate haha
If you like these switches, I think you'll really like both the Gateron Vermilion Birds and the Gateron Azure Dragons. They are sibling switches, linear and tactile, that both use longer two stage springs :)
Oo thanks for the rec, will have to try!!
nahhh bro brought neo-noir vibes to keyboards,it's over, loved the pacing for my attention span deficient brain
ayyy haha thank you man appreciate it
did you and Anzel purposefully try to wear the same outfit bc you guys looked like twins :')
i almost wish we coordinated hahahah

1:15 Bro I'm literally subscribed to the both of you and thought you were the same guy for months!
Your channel actually deserves more subscribers. I love your production quality and the aesthetics of your videos are sooo on point. I subscribed to you when you only had 500 subs and i fell in love with your style of making videos. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much man, means so much that you found my content back then. Here's to the future!
ty for reviewing these switches im definitely getting some, i was looking for a switch that sounds close to hg blacks
I am so stoked for what your content is already bringing to the community. And you’ve got me considering an order of these for my Frog, not that you intended for that. But your reaction has me very interested.
Hahaha would highly recommend! Thanks so much mate - let me know what you think!
Came across your channel just now. Cinematography is great! Really helpful information for a switch I'm never gonna buy LOL
Hahaha glad you enjoyed man! Totally feel that HAHA
wow I found this channel through the RAMA channel and I love your style of videography. The changing formats, the grain, the music, really nice to watch. Subbed
Welcome!! Thanks so much mate!
Great job Avi! Enjoyed the journey of this video.
Thanks chief! Means a lot coming from ya
Great video, I really enjoy your style.
Btw, is that a hotswap pcb for the frog? What's that?
Really appreciate it! Yes it is a hotswap pcb for the frog!
The production.. The algorithm brought me here, easy sub!
Haha bless the algorithm - thanks for spending your time here mate!
Great video! Haven't seen your stuff before, but you are great!
These sound very creamy in a way, I dig it.
Thank you so much mate! Really appreciate it. Definitely depends on the board you're using but I def do like the sound
This is really special video. Love your style of editing and can't wait to see more.
greatest keeb creator out rn
Best compliment ever. Thanks so much bro
Loving your work and looking forwards to seeing more! I aspire to reach your level of quality. Maybe one day...
Thank you thank you!! Keep at it mate!
agree on the double stage spring bit.. in my instance, once i tried them (ttc wild) i never went back to regular springs. i can see more switch manufacturers making double stage the default
Game changing man!
I can’t get over just how much I love the vibe of your videos. They’re so different, but in the best way possible.
thank you man! i really really appreciate that
What kind of camera do you use? I love the style of your videos!
Thanks so much! I shoot on a BMPCC4K and sometimes a Sony A6400 - lenses on the pocket are 24-105 F/4 and Sigma 18-35 F/1.8 cine. Hope that helps!!!
the variety of shots and angles is just superb
Ayy thanks for your time again Mr Sviz - appreciate it!
Subbed, production quality here is stellar!
thank you so much mate!
The thing you said about regular springs is true. Ever since I tried out 2 stage springs, I can't go back anymore. The typing experience is definitely more fun.

Give that a crack, let me know how you go! Sounds interesting.
Idk how this channel isnt bigger, great vid
Biggest compliment. Thanks mate!
I can’t believe how much you have grown I remember when you had only 100 subs
thank you for stopping by man! always remember you dropping a comment before anyone else hahahaha
@@AvinashKunjamboo no problem
Great video per usual! Sheesh, man!
thank you boss! great to have you back
duck,duck,goose.
our boy Avi's about to discover the magic of two stage springs :0
Coley !!! Thanks so much for stopping by again mate! Two stage is magic
100% great products from RAMA but the business model is lack luster. Geon really is the MVP in the hobby, he knows how to run a business and stay in contact with his community.
first time viewer here, your aesthetic/cinematography (idk the word) is so damn chill and 70s, it's insane! great content man, keep it up!
do we have any idea on when these are going to be shipped?
Not that I know of mate sorry!
Just my total opinion. But long pole switches + Geon Frog = poppy perfection
I've never seen some b roll slap so hard
thanks boss!!
WOHOOOOO

But are they tactile or linear?
linear!
it took me a few seconds during the interview to realise it was different people
The production quality is *chef kiss* as always.
So have you taken the HB out of QK for good? I still love the scratchiness of some good MX blacks.
thank you boss! nah not for good - i'm sure i'll come back to it at some point. i'm now using my m65b as my main instead of the qk65 and just ported over the stabs and switches haha.
Your quality somehow gets better every video, im seriously impressed by that. Your last video popped off, lets see if it happens with this one too 👀
Also love your transparency about all the drama & controversy of RAMA ^^

i still cant get over your videos
Ayyy welcome back!! Thanks so much chief
I've always had good communication with Rama Works. I don't understand other people's issues. I had an issue with a PCB 1 year after buying it and they were helpful troubleshooting it and sending a free replacement. I've been in 5 group buys with no issues.
Interesting! Things we love to hear
Great video! Also love that you put Hara Noda in you vid :)
i don't know who you are, but i'm just curious why there's 2 of you
Sound look pretty good 🤩
Thank you!
This video style holy shit I love it
Haha thank you boss
definitely sounded the best in the frog out of the three to me. interesting switch!
Always a treat to see a new vid from you. Been following these switches so I especially appreciate your thoughts!
Thank you so much mate! Stoked you got something out of this vid too.
Yooooo! The pacing
Thank you bossman!!
Another amazing video! Your videos are definitely my biggest inspiration for my own, thanks again for the feedback on my last one I really appreciate it
Thank you bro!! So stoked to see your vids come together
It almost feels like i'm watching a Tarantino movie when I watch your videos. Your editing style is something I haven't seen before, and I like it. Keep it up!
Haha thank you mate! Glad you enjoyed.
Sounds like long poles are the way to go for the frog. I soldered hyperglides into my frog but I think I’m going to have to put something long pole like a tungsten.
Such a good idea. It really brings out the sound which I was totally not expecting
Sounds clacky.
Absolutely!
that intro got me feeling good I love this!
Edit: wait not just the intro but the whole video!!!! I love this channel so much!
Too kind boss! Thank you!
These videos are actually so good oh my days. One of my favourite keyboard youtubers by far.
thank you so much mate!!
ur videos are quickly becoming my favorites. good jobb :D
Ayyy big man himself - thanks so much bro!
I as well do not like the bottom out feel of long pole switches. Using them with a half plate or even plateless seems to help though. Great review btw.
Oooo I'll have to give that a try! Thanks man
my god the vids just get better. super cool to see anzel in the vid aswell :D
Fred! Thanks so much man, so stoked to have worked w Anzel too haha
The production!
Thank you i think !!!
Can't wait to see more switch reviews dude. I wonder what it could possibly be? Shots and edit is great as always.
Ayyy thanks my guy! Loads coming soon but you already know what's up next.
quality content
thank you chief
Here we go boys, another Avi drop! Great work as always :)
Thanks for stopping by again mate!!
Love the video! I'm a 90s kid and your video style, colors bring back memories. Are these switches stock (not factory lubed)?
Thanks so much man! Gotta stir up that nostalgia. They are factory lubed - but this is how they come straight out the packet
@@AvinashKunjamboo They sound really nice. I've placed an order myself. Looking forward to your thoughts if you could compare with Ink Black V2s (they are the only linears I have currently)
Love the style of the video and the concise consideration of RAMA. Keep it up!
Thank you so much mate. Such a tricky topic to navigate haha. Cheers!
Nice video
thank you!
Love the video man, always so great and personal!
Thank you so much Tristan! Cheers for putting up with my shite messages over the last few days HAHA
Goated
No u bb
absolutely love your content
the music choice in this video is soo good.
Keep up the great work! I love watching these videos
thankster chankster
love your honesty! rare to see in partnered videos
Thank you!!! It's absolutely a tricky topic to cover and honesty always matters imo!
sounds pretty meh
This is a very well made video. Nice work sir.
Thank you mate!!!
this video is so great, love the aesthetic and everything about it
Legend. Thanks so much mate!!
The visuals are, “chefs kiss”👌🏻
Haha too kind man! Thanks
hyperglides really shine with a spring swap, so if you havent done that please do that.(the stock springs are pretty bad) because the weight of the mx blacks is really heavy, it also becomes really quiet and kinda muffles the true sound of the switch
I love the aspect ratio you use for the video. It's a very kinda old-school feel.
Haha it's polarising to say the least. Thanks so much for stopping by!!
@@AvinashKunjamboo I think it fits the tone of the video and your personality well.
This is so good mate! Keep it going
Thank you my friend!
hes too good
quality video as usual
Welcome back chief thanks heaps!
