and also don't be over confident because even though you can cut off the plastic pins you still must know that sometimes the switch brand has different housing on the bottom. so if you're using akko pro version and non pro they look almost the same but pro has bigger bottom housing so it doesn't fit into green outemu pcb but sometimes it does but sometimes it doesn't

I ordered gateron ink black, later I saw it arrived from china, thought maybe they were fake. I have standard blue switches in my keyboard (3-pin) the gateron black is also 3pin, but the metal pins seem to be a little bigger than the classic blue switches I have, I did research and these bigger pins seem normal but it doesn’t fit in my pcb, any clue why? Thanks
@@feardaron1240 i do make longer videos on this channel, unless you mean longer than like 15 minutes. My KBD67 Lite video is 9 minutes and my RK61 vid is 12 minutes.
@@ItsHexical lol 😅😁 yeah your voice is soft spoken and you play calm music in the background it helps me relax ☺️ but i hope I don't stress you out but yeah
@@feardaron1240 Hahah thanks, no worries! I don't necessarily plan on making longer videos, but I don't ever have a set time limit. If a video takes me 30 minutes to explain a topic, I will take 30 minutes to explain it. I should have a video out later today hopefully, about the GMMK Pro, and that will probably be around 15 minutes!
I almost canceled my order because I thought that the 5 pin one have 4 metal pins, thanks for the tip real much
I wonder how many of us out there were on the verge of an order cancellation.
Same
@@TheInternetIsDeadToMe usually people that can't count to five
Same
@@TheInternetIsDeadToMei just was 😭😭
thanks for this!! this was exactly what i was looking for. also nice to know i can just cut pins off if need be
tysm, i accidentally bought 5 pin switches for my 3 pin keeb!
When they come you can just clip the plastic legs with some flush cutters or nail clippers
Thank you so much! This channel is what i needed.
I never knew that thanks!
Straight to the point!!! i love it!!!
Glad you liked the video Ruben!
Thank you for helping me redo leave a like!
Thanks!!! I though I spent so much money for nothing!!😂😂
Imma have to rewatch this video, some good stuff here. Though, I could not stop starring at the nails.
Here we go…
Can you put a 3 pin in a 5 pin Pcb like I wanna put akkos in a rk61 or sk61 do I need help before I actually buy them
3 Pin switches go into 5 Pin boards perfectly fine.
ty so much!
Oh,thks i wanted to put nk creams in my dk61e and imma go order them rn thanks again
5 pin is only necessary with plateless or half plate builds
If I have 5 pin can I use 3 pin.Just put or need to adjust?
3 Pin switches can fit in 5 pin PCB's just fine :) They will just be slightly less stable
if I put a 3 pin into a 5 pin keyboard will the 3 pin still work?
yes
and also don't be over confident because even though you can cut off the plastic pins you still must know that sometimes the switch brand has different housing on the bottom. so if you're using akko pro version and non pro they look almost the same but pro has bigger bottom housing so it doesn't fit into green outemu pcb but sometimes it does but sometimes it doesn't
hey can you explain more like can i use 5pin cherry mx switches, in my 3-pin otemu swappable keyboard ?? By cutting the extra pins??

question: which hot swappable keyboard support 3 pin switches like akko matcha switches?
All of them. Every mechanical keyboard has 3 pin support while some can also have 5 pin support.
if I have a 3-pin switch and a 5-pin keyboard, can they work?
Yes!
i had a 0 pins switch
Me too
thx
Can the holy pandas go on the ducky one 3 someone please answer because I don’t understant

Will the 3 pin work in 5 pin pcb?
Yup! They should go in perfectly fine
can I have the name of keycap sets in video?
does anybody know if i can put 5 pin switches on a 3 pin keyboard? i mean, it comes with 3 pin switches but idk if i can change them to 5 pin ones...
Wait my switches don’t have any metal pins or anything just the center one and they work?
Optical switches, they use a sensor instead
@@ItsHexical oh thanks, I never knew the difference between optical and non-optical switches
Are those gateron black inks?
My keyboards switches are just a hole for the switch and no metal pins
Are you talking about the PCB?
optical?
a 5 pin switch like gat black inks can fit into a hotswappable rk61 right?
yes
is there a disadvantage when you have 5 pin but you put 3 pin?
Not really no
@@kylekjc thank you so much
So if my keyboard came with 5pin switches, I can easily use 3 pin right?
use 5 pins ? end of discussion.. this video is only for the people who bought the 5 pin switches but has 3 pin keyboard
Oh.. You can just cut those off? I cancelled a 5 pin order cause my board only supports 3 pin.
Can a 3 pin switch fit in a 5 pin board?
Yes
Will it fit in an outemu socket?
depends on the outemu socket type.. hot swappable 3 pins , 5 pins or optical or non hot swappable
Are 5 pin more stable then 3 pin?
yes I mean if your using a plate they all feel the same and for plateless or half plates 5 pins are more stable
Can I use a 3 pin swich in a 5 pin keyboard???
Yes! they should go in perfectly fine
What if my keyboard takes one pin but i have 5 pin
are you fine ? like what's wrong with you ? you need a help for real bro
can I put 3 pin switches on a 5 pin pcb?
Yes, they will work :)
@@ItsHexical thanks for your reply ;)
If I order a 5 pin and mines a 1 pin can I take those meatle ones off ore am I scrooded
You have an optical keyboard which doesn't support the ones with metal pins, breaking those would break the switch
The metal pin don't fit in my keybord what im gonna do ?
Same, what I did was swap the metal pin so it fits
5pins board can use 3 pins switches?
Yes!
Which one anne pro 2 use 5 or 3?
maybe get 5, But if it's 2 then you can just anip them
My keyboard have 0 metal pin
Do 3 pin switches work on 5 pin Pcb
yes
Wait so i can put a 3 pin in a 5 pin also?
cutting off 5 pins are useless.. it turns back into 3 pins
What if mine has no pins
if you don't have pins which means yours is optical switches where they are extremely way better than pins switch
Can 3 pin fit in 5 pin?
Yes it can!
outemu red are 3 pin or 5 pin??
3
@@nok.669 thanks
@@user-gn4wo6vq2o outemu isn't really a high level switch.. it's just a cheap budget switches with a copy cat of cherry mx switches so yeah
What about 0 pin ?
Those are optical
Do you have a second channel

does 5 pin work on rk61
Yes!
Is the rk61 hot swap a 3 pin or 5 pin
5 Pin
@@ItsHexical is there a 3 pin version
@@PrPaceJAH No, why would you want a 3 pin version over a 5 pin anyways? It's less work dealing with a 5 pin.
@@ItsHexical well it’s these 3 pin switches that I want
@@PrPaceJAH you can fit 3 pin switches in a 5 pin
