Kailh Chocs sound test: switch sampler from MKUltra

Bought these from mkultra.click/.... Used a Kailh box switch sampler frame to demo these, so YMMV on the sound based on the material of the switch plate and the keycaps.
Top row (left to right):
White (clicky) - 60g
Robin (clicky) - 57g
Brown (tactile) - 60g
Middle row (left to right):
Black (linear) - 60g
Red (linear) - 50g
Silver (linear) - 40g
Bottom row (left to right):
Pro Red (linear) - 35g
gChoc (linear) - 20g
I wouldn't recommend the tactiles, they don't feel great. Otherwise, I'd recommend picking up a sampler like I did to feel the difference, it's more important to me than the sound.

those first two could be in my mouse

[@Mia15239]

for real lmfao. I thought it was like a sampler for a mouse click.

[@rolfathan]

Those grey ones are rather quiet. I like them a lot. Thanks for posting a video with all these on it. Typically you find someone with just two or three, and it becomes impossible to really compare.
EDIT: Grey/Silver

[@mcbrite]

They are my fav for full sized switches! But I'm not sure that transforms so well for these ultra low profile ones... I think I'd prefer a click on those! Will need to try them...

[@FrOsTyBeArKiD]

My right ear is happy.

[@asdfdsa1558]

so that was the goal of MKULTRA project all along

[@witalijlewandowski2384]

Is it huge tactical difference between brown and orange? I have browns, and don`t know is it worse to build next keyboard on orange. Are orange ones more feedback like blue, or only more hard?

[@clintonatwood4366]

I love my browns

[@ry7hym]

yes i have a switch tester right beside me right now and the orange is a bit heavier than the brown (70g vs 50±10g respectively)

[@treekraj]

hmmm I don't think you pressed the keys enough xD

[@iceflower7004]

just tested them today, and I'm pretty disappointed. the bump for the tactiles is barely noticeable, the clickies feel almost linear due to their click design, and the linears rattle a lot when they're not pressed, although that could be a problem with my switches from the tester. My biggest issue is that these switches are also super easy to break. You need to be super careful when removing the upper housing, as the clasps are super thin and have a thin weak spot right at their joint with the rest of the upper housing, meaning taking them apart if you want to lube them will result in a lot of broken switches. I honestly think that if you need low profile linears, go with low profile cherry reds or speeds. I haven't tested low profile keychrons yet, but im looking forward to doing so when my package arrives.

[@andrewtay8086]

why do I only hear the audio coming from the right side but not left?? anyone else?

[@Polymath2B]

nope, I hear it from both

[@bathroom681]

Maybe your headphones are not connected properly

[@doublett18]

because he recorded audio using a stereo mic

[@First.Last.99]

you can also mention names of switch

[@tonio.t]

i liked the gchocs a lot

[@smores56]

gchocs are definitely an acquired taste in terms of how light the springs are, you should try them before you commit!

[@mcbrite]

I think with a throw THAT short I'd have to go for the white clicky, where normally I'm a silver guy... 45gram linear with .5mm reduced throw and early activation...

[@ry7hym]

throw is pre-travel or total travel?

[@FinnSpins_]

Hello I recommend the greens if you are found in a library

[@ry7hym]

there is no green choc switch

[@FinnSpins_]

@@ry7hym damn i forgot i even was into building keyboards

[@FinnSpins_]

@@ry7hym I probably was talking about top middle

[@theUnrealArchon]

Click click click

[@mrfriki]

Hi! Are chocs colors comparable in terms of force needed to activate to Cherry switches? I had Cherry silver once and found them a little to easy to activate.

[@alexehlke707]

ive heard the low profile ones feel lighter than their comparative rated mx counterparts

[@haydenho2763]

In stock form they are wayy lighter than normal cherry switches but you could prbably spring swap some 50-60g springs

[@atetraxx]

whered you get the transparent caps?

[@justsomepersonontheinterne8833]

Grey switches or holy pandas?

[@Japanda92]

Have you tested pink choc?

[@ry7hym]

I have and I would say they are closer to those blues (bottom row, middle) but even lighter (pinks are only 20grams of actuation force)

[@bigduck3121]

Blue and White was clicky as hell

[@banjod5363]

0:19, 0:54, 1:08, 1:17

[@ivanaviNiebla]

I thought Robins were heavier than whites. Do Whites feel more tactile than Robins too?

[@tionanima]

I would say it's the other way around

[@ry7hym]

well Robins are stated at 47g actuation force and whites as 50±10g so it depends a bit I guess

What TKL keyboards are these compatible with? I can't seem to find any and am interested in the reds

[@SeraphX2]

from my understanding, low profile switches are a clusterfuck. none of the pin patterns match between any of the brands so you'll have to find PCBs that are specfic to the switches you want, so not just any board you buy will work. and keycaps are just as bad as cherry uses the cross pattern. v1 and v2 of kailh chocs have different patterns in the stems. gateron used to use a stem pattern that looked like kailh's but not compatible. but I think gaterons use a cherry cross pattern now.

[@niko1even]

my right ear enjoyed this video

[@xd-sv8dx]

Which switch requires the most tactile force?

[@Megaman.ExE7]

After doing a quick search, it appears that cherry mx tactile grey switches are the ones that require the most tactile force to utilize

[@ry7hym]

if you're talking only tactile switches then its Burnt Orange which requires 70 gf.
but Pale Blue is a clicky switch that also requires 70gf and yellow is the linear variant of that

[@GMWR_TES]

Fun fact: these are actually used in gutar hero controllers
