Best vid covering all the key switches!!
randomfrankp damn this really took a time.. I got razer orange and i'm quite sure they are tactile not linear but i really like them.. Nice for typing and also gaming
Very nice work Sir!
Dude the different housings make a difference for example the white bottomed gats are not as good as milky or black bottomed gats due to the contact leaf used in the switch if they were all the same but just looked different gateron would just be wasting money on tooling and research
This is like a switch periodic table
XD
Well there are A WHOLLLLEEEEE lot mode switches which i did not know about. There are probably more switches than elements on the periodic table.
@@stanleychen6556 Hahahaha xD
@@stanleychen6556 theres at least twice as many as shown in video, some very different
👍
A 20min video that wasn’t a waste of my time, and was straight to the point, Great Vid 👍
I’m honestly impressed with the effort put forth in this video
I like MX speed
IGFURY! When is that in the video
yeah, they are nice but if you wasn't using linear switchs before you will pressing keys by mistake sometimes
I think that kailh speed silvers are even better tho.
@@ant3866 Ohh damn. Ok thank you so much for the help.. Im gojng to be getting mx speeds then
deathraydave peepee
I can’t believe how this guy managed to go through the Cherry Brown and Cherry Blue without bleeding ears.
I think mine is the Gateron Blue switches, they sound familiar to mine and I just knew this because I wasn't really thinking about the different switches of the keys whenever I buy keyboards, if I see a mechanical keyboard then that's it. haha
Me: *Turns up volume to hear switches*
Frank: OKAY SO THOSE WERE THE CHERRY SWITCHES
i personally use Cherry speed silver but i loved my corsair K68 with Cherry Reds.
Gateron browns are my personal favorite
gastron clear sounds really nice!
it all boils down to blue clicky switches vs holy pandas... browns, reds, silvers, etc... they ain't gonna cut it.
Tried and owned
MX Blue, Brown, Reds
I like Otemu Blue. Slightly lighter than Cherry blue, more feed back than Mx Brown.
My MX reds are for gaming.
Just picked up halo True. Don’t like it first impression. Am I supposed to touch type with True?
For me the perfect key caps would be a creamy feel and click sound.
I think u mean key switches
@@OpenSaned lol I wrote that a year ago my taste in key switches has changed, but yes.
Anyone else thought at 0:00 Frank's shirt was the switches?!?!??!
whats the difference between gateron black and yellow?
Hey I am considering buying Kailh box switches, but I've heard that at launch they could break keycaps, is this still the case ?
Mary McAllister I believe this was only with a certain brand of keycaps and I believe this issue was resolved.

For April fools someone should make a keyboard but every button has a different switch. I think this would be annoying
That be great
Got a hot-swap board here (no soldering needed) and a bunch of switches, hold my beer...

Finally, BOX Thick Clicks get some exposure
I have a keyboard with box Navies. I have Topre 45 and cherry browns on my main boards. I hate Navies so much but typing is so satisfying. I can't game on them since it's so hard to click fast. But they sound amazing
Zymon Ramirez Well, they aren’t made for gaming but more for typing...

better go with chiclet ones

this is a fantastic video! im still undecided on what keys i think would be best for me as a streamer, i dont like my keys to be picked up on my microphone. this video provided some srs guidance, thank you!
NoisyButters cherry speeds are good for gaming and don't make much noise.
The GameZone NL but they feel like shit for typing. I don't understand why anyone would buy cherry switches. I personally would recommend kailh box switches. Probably the royals whe noise matters.
Interesting that you're a fan of Gat Clears and didn't like the Novelkeys Kailh Dark Yellows. I'm the opposite, I hate the Gat Clears as they are so light that you just bottom out too quickly and it feels harsh when typing, but the Dark Yellows are so much heavier that they just feel much more comfortable to type on and the feeling of resistance is great when typing. Not so much for gaming though. If you think the Box Dark Yellow is weighty, definitely try out the Novelkeys Kailh Speed Heavy Dark Yellow. Using them on a typing board now with lubed springs and they are amazing.
For anyone pro Cherry, grab some testers and do a blind test. Not once did I rate Cherry higher than a Gateron equivilant. As for MX Speeds, the Kailh speeds blow them out the water in both value (like a third of the cost), and smoothness. Lubed Kailh Speed Silvers are fantastic. In fact anyone who loves tactile should definitely also check out the Kailh Speed Copper. The bump is right at the top rather than a bit of the way down the press, and actuation is super high. It's got a nice feel to it. The heavier version of that by Novelkeys, the Speed Heavy Burnt Orange is also really satisfying.
For me it's hard to pick a favourite, that's why I just build multiple keyboards and switch them out depending on mood. I currently use lubed Speed Heavy Dark Yellow, lubed Speed Heavy Burnt Orange, Box Navy, Box White and Kailh Box Black on different boards. With also some 80g gold spring Aliazstotles that are waiting to go on the right board for some ultimate customness. I'm now starting to consider switching out the Box Whites for Kailh Speed Silvers though as the board is used for gaming and the clicks are audible when recording videos. All of those switches though I'd highly recommend.
My least favourites, or ones I don't recommend are all the Razer switches (seriously they are terrible quality, and incredibly wobbly), all Gateron silents including Zilents, Gat Silent and Aliaz, purely because the bottom out instability is offputting. I build a board with Aliaz switches and I instantly had to sell it as it was too awful, and also all Cherry switches ESPECIALLY if you are wanting linear switches. Cherry switches are incredibly scratchy. If you want linear go Kailh Box linears if you want out the box smoothness without needing to worry about lubing, or Kailh Speeds and Gateron Linears, which are smooth but can be made ultra smooth with a bit of lube. If you want a smooth linear Cherry switch, you need to find a board from the 80s that has MX Blacks on it that is so heavily used that the switches have smoothed down with use.
I used to like the Gat Clears before I really knew about the variety out there - but this was about 2-3 years ago lol. I have a feeling my Dark Yellow switch is faulty in this tester, it gets stuck at first if you arent continually pressing - feels like something is off. I really think the Jade switch has stole me, it's just so thick and not like anything I've tried haha
Yeah I thought it looked like it was sticking. Probably worth opening up see if it's all together inside properly
I love your vids Figureight been here since the air ride suspension vid with the dubsta 6x6 thumbnail

OPpotato the tricky thing with speed switches is some variants actuate before bump /click. some people might not want that
Go with blues lol reds are good but get boring, the clickiness of blues never gets tiring imo. That’s if you like clickiness in the first place

The keyboard tester is a must for anyone who’s stuck between
switches. Little pricey but worth it if you’re open minded about
different switches.

What's wrong with the blue switches? And the irony of you mocking children's video games with a Minecraft profile picture is palpable x)

Same here, I love clicky switches such as the MX Blue (but I prefer Box Jades). If you're in a work environment though, I can understand. For that, I usually go with Kalih Pro Purples or just the regular MX Reds
Some clicky switches are good, like the kailh box jades/navy etc but MX blues are just a mess. They rattle a fuckton and don't have any tactility to match the audible feedback.
Idk much about switches but I want a cheap keyboard that is clicked but won’t get annoying not mushy and like nice sounding click so it’s not makeing me go crazy so if u know a keyboard I can get that is kinda like that please comment on this
How did you forget outemu
Srsly.
True dude I want to buy the otemu blue switch, and he didn’t show the sound of it, whyyyyyy
@@goopymanx7886 they sound like cherry mx blues
EnvyOw thank u dude
I have outemu blue switches and they are REALLY clicky.
My keyboard is the Redragon K552 RGB if u wanna get it
That cherry tactile gray represent the silence of my daily life
Gateron/Kalih FTW! They are so much better than Cherrys. Cherrys are scratchy as hell, and have boring types of switches unlike Kalih. Gateron still has more cool types of switches than cherry, but most importantly, they are sooo much smother than them...
Adrien Lesage is that so? What keyboard are you using, which switch?
J. Larspers I have tested basically all of these switches. Right now, i’m using Outemu Brown which are pretty bad, but I only bought them because they came in a cheap 60% keyboard, which I needed for transport. I’m planning to get either BOX Jades, Navys, Burnt Orange, or White. In the Gateron department i’m planning to get their browns because they are super smooth. My dream switches would be Zealios or Aliaz but they are soooo expensive!
True, just because it's made by a Chinese company, doesn't mean it has horrible quality. I actually prefer Kailh over Cherry/Razer's switches, but if I were to get a replacement, I'll consider getting a Romer-G.
Elongated Muskrat I don’t recommend Romer Gs too... They almost feel like rubber domes...
Adrien Lesage I'd say get box jades but do not use them as a space bar. They get stuck very easily because of the mechanism. Use another clicky switch for that
Why am I watching this I’m a controller player I just need a good looking keyboard for editing
For me the Kailh Box Red is better than the Cherry Red because it had the same actuation force, but it has a shorter travel distance and higher actuation point, they have that RGB clear design, better stabilizers and they're cheaper. I don't care if they were made in China or Germany, the quality feels the same to me

Gateron Brown 6:00

Cherry brown 2:43
Worsts / Surfs thanks

At the start I thought the switches were on your shirt lol
desk is so high you look like you could stare straight at a six year old without moving your neck.
Where's the bloody switches?
Spasm Fox the light switch?
You can't buy them separately
XtremeXD Gaming yes.
Razer opto-mechanical is basically their version of the bloody LK switches.
saint frac wat feels better razer or bloody?
Yeah, I'll take "None of the above". I've played with many mechanical switches but none can compare to the legendary catastrophically buckling compression column springs found in legendary IBM keyboards like the Model F and the Model M (I'm typing on a Model M right now). You can still get them new from Unicomp and they're just glorious. They make Cherry MX Blues feel like toys.
I'd be interested to see you review a Unicomp Classic 103 or 104 keyboard for their feel. Most people think that the buckling springs make "modern" clicky mechanical switches feel cheap and fragile. It's no secret that the IBM/Lexmark/Unicomp keyboards service lives are measured in decades, not in years. There's a reason that the Model M is considered the greatest keyboard ever made and it's definitely not because of its looks. It's not ugly by any means and it's the Model M that invented the keyboard layout that everyone copied from them and still uses. However, unless you get coloured keys for it, it looks very plain. However, the look of a keyboard should be the criterion of least value when choosing what's best for you.
The Model M was designed by a team of ten IBM engineers and IBM sunk millions into its development. This is because we're talking about a time before GUIs, before mice. Sure Apple had them but PCs rarely (if ever) did. The old MS-DOS was all about typing and so the quality of a keyboard was paramount. Buckling spring keyboards are easier on the fingers and are essentially indestructible. They're like an industrial or military-grade item. Sure, they don't look like much but there's nothing else in the world that can match them for the feel or durability. That's how quality is truly measured, if you can type on it all day, every day for decades without damaging your fingers and the thing still keeps on going like it did the day you bought it, you know that compared to it, everything else is just pretty crap.
When something doesn't look fancy, it's usually because the manufacturer spent all of their money, time and energy into making sure that the ugly duckling was really a swan in disguise.
I think it should be noted that you're citing the weights incorrectly. Apart from Cherry, none of the other manufacturers measure in cN, but rather in grams (g). There's a minor difference between them.
Additionally, the weight measurement for the Aliaz, Tealio, and Zealios is measured in a different way. It's also measured in grams, but the weight you cited (the officially provided weight) is bottom out force rather than the actuation force that every other switch cites.
The Zeal switches (Tealios, Zealios) don't provide the travel and actuation distance, but I believe that should be the same as the other Gateron switches.
Just wanted to clear up some of the stuff you didn't catch or just didn't know. I really like that you're showing these enthusiast switches some love, they really could use more exposure to a mainstream audience.
Hi fellow MK masterracer!
I mean 1gf is 0.98cN so I dont think there are major differences. I bet the tolerances of most manufacturers are within that area.
EB3K Haha, I actually forgot how minute of a difference it was.
isnt the cherry green clicky
I thought it was too.
There is cherry mx green, and razer green switches that are light green, and cherry is dark green
