    Hello world, my name is J-S! I do Sound Test videos on Mechanical Keyboards and non-mechanical keyboards. From Modern MX Switches to Vintage Keyboards, Click and Thock is about Keyboard Sound. From vintage Alps SKCM switches and IBM Buckling Springs to modern Kailh BOX switches, I test and compare different types of switches and keyboards.

      Thank you!! Alps switches sound comparison on the different cases is in the works! Maybe could try with some Keycaps, but it is harder with alps...

    The thickness as well as the building quality does change the sound too. Like the Extended 2048 is 1.5mm thick, that's really a huge difference compared to Susuwatari 1.1mm, and the Cupid Valentine spacebar sounds so hollow ! 😨

      You are right! Building and keycaps thickness make differences too! Cupid sound really hollow!

    I generally prefer the sound of thick ABS, but I do think a nice PBT set can feel really nice under the fingers in a way ABS just can't seem to do. Never an easy pick.

    i prefer the PBT sound, but ABS can also sound nice. but the biggest difference in sound is the thickness of the keycap walls, imo.

      Yes, for some reason the SA-PBT has a more clacky sound, the ABS version sounded nicer. Although the thickness is the same.

    I don't know if I can trust Akko keycaps being PBT. Their keycaps shine very fast within few days and feel like ABS. Had a few sets and compared them myself, they don't sound like PBT due to them producing higher pitch sound than most of my PBT sets. Just my personal experience. They might use cheaper PBT material or falsely call them as that.

    • @ClickandThock
      @ClickandThock  Год назад +2

      I don't think they falsely call keycaps PBT... But thickness have a grest impact on sound... Being double shot or dye sub too! But also production quality.
