made gateron super reds because I couldn't find any super blacks and I didn't want to buy cherry mx blacks to make 'em.

I feel instead of calling these 150g springs we should refer to these as 0.15kg spring switches.
get them to 250g and start calling them quarter kg springs

I honestly just about forgot how I stumbled across your channel just a couple of minutes ago, but I definitely enjoy your content. I can tell that you don't have the best of audio, or a background environment, but the fact that you were still able to keep me as well as many, many other people entertained through your personality and editing skills has earned you a sub, and a long term viewer. Keep it up man, I mean it.
Really really appreciate it. Thank you!
Much agreed. Had a hint of doubt early on that I was gonna cringe out or something, but I stayed and thoroughly enjoyed it.
literally the same happened with me ;)
we all think alike lol
Same here. The algorithm works in mysterious ways... Get ready!
Whomst'd've even needs a password? Just make a keyboard so Chadly that virgins physically cannot use it.
🤥🤥🤥
the keyboard equivalent of a linux user just opening VIM to lock his computer cause 90% of people won't know how to close it

Friend: Oh gateron reds, those must be great for gaming
You: well.....
Here's the funny thing: for me at least I prefer to use Reds for typing over other supposedly more "typist-oriented" switches, like Blues or even Browns. In fact I'm using a Gateron Red Switch keyboard right now, even though I don't game on my computer a lot.
If you typed on an old-school, early-20th century typewriter, you will realise that their feel is more akin to a Red or Black switch than Blue or Brown. In fact I could describe them as rather heavy Reds or Blacks, that only actuate when fully bottomed-out.
eXAKR I personally hate typing on linear switches, but gaming on them is pretty nice. I use tactile switches because they’re way better for typing for me and they’re good enough for gaming (not as nice as linears, but they get the job done and don’t feel like they’re making me worse at the game). Clicky switches can fuck off, I don’t need my whole neighbourhood knowing I have an essay due in 3 hours
Turn the lights off
@@EonityLuna yeah same, to me tactile switches have always sort of felt like nicer membrane switches with more travel, whereas the completely smooth feeling of linears is something i absolutely love while typing.
The fingertrainers
Just wait til you try mega blacks, they have ~700g bottom out!
duuuuude I'm tryiiiing to get my hands on some, have been looking for a bit now but I can't find any pr any 1kg springs. I know that they have been sold at one point but I've had no luck :(
@@Glarses Honestly, I'd love to try some at least once. Heaviest I've ever seen have been the 150g tho D:
@@Glarses As for the smoothness getting better, It's just like how tactiles are way more tactile at lower weights. Something to do with coefficient of friction increasing/decreasing as the force goes higher/lower
@@NoahDoesTechThings might have to resort to that - I think I remember seeing someone do something similar with some replacement pen springs, but it was only around 400/500g
@@Glarses yeah iv done that to a couple of switches and to say the least, they are a tad heavy.
Glarses: Does an experiment
Should anyone use this?
Glarses, every single time: Absolutely not.
Literally the first keyboard channel that makes me laugh. Great job! Would love to see more of these weirds experiments
thanks! Will do, I have a lot planned
Try Chyrosan22 if you are fine with krass humor
"It had been my dream for, as long as I'd been browsing that evening"
Fucking accurate.
When I used to write business software on an Apple II (yes it was a very long time ago) we put a rubber washer under the reset key to prevent accidentally pressing it. So for that purpose a very heavy key spring makes sense.
Cherry should make these and call them: "cherry mx carpal tunnel"
Edit: thanks for 69 likes, pls no one add any more
Cherry MX Carpal sounds better
cherry ct reds
Cherry MX Linear Greens
xD nice one.
This needs to be pinned and hearted.
"all switches are good for gaming"
I can’t imagine myself playing osu! with these switches.
I used them for stamina training
Definitely a bonus if you have a girlfriend
@@fr33kout82 We’re osu! players, we dont have gfs
@@mosk_pr what about when you quit osu!?
I'm just kidding, you can't quit this game
@@mosk_pr then explain why i have a girlfriend 🤨 lmao
I just realized Glarses casually has his CTH-480 in the background... he is osu gamer confirmed
imagine streaming with this
This would be a cool mod for the keyswitch where the windows key is so that its harder to accidentally press it.
I like linear so, I did all reds and then 1 brown for windows
And caps lock.
@@machy8515 imagine not using caps lock for map
when playing fps games, I would usually use all of my five fingers to move in-game. So that would be around 600g of sustained weight on my hands. That would really make my hands really chonky with all those muscles building up.
Will make these for when I feel like leaving an entire Harry Potter book 4 out on top of my keyboard.
Too bad you couldn’t put on some MJ in the background during the sound test, “just beat iiiiiiiit, beat iiiiiiiit!” Lol. Nice vid.
missed opportunity
I think that the Idea behind the original Super Blacks was to make a keyboard that would feel natural to people who were used to using old school typewriters, where every actuation had to move a rather complex and heavy mechanism.
How to exercise while typing lol
I wonder what it would feel like to alternate 220 bpm bursts/long streams with that amount of force lol
I tried streaming 180bpm with it. I will never try again.
Everything Will Freeze with these or it didn't happen
I see a fellow osu giga chad
@@phronesis2471 yeah, probably
Not gonna lie i don’t know shit about keyboards but you funny asf
The sound it makes when not bottoming out sounds like building in a lego game holy shit that is glorious
Glarses: I'ma do typing test on 150gram

When you try explaining your addiction to crystal meth to your friends.
This is the superb content on mechanical keyboards that I have been waiting for, looking to build my first custom and these videos are really educational in the -addicting- nature of the hobby. btw just discovered your channel a few minutes ago, loving it
Welcome aboard!
Welcome down the rabbit holes
I've been using navy BOX and i'm really interested in a nice and smooth linear switch ... Kailh burnt yellow , MX black .. no no, too weak. You have touched my interest here
Go for it
Box Navy is awesome to type on. At first I thought it was a bit too heavy but they quickly grew on me. I have a Razer with their stock green switches and wow, I like the Navy ones considerably better. They feel better plus I like the sound better too
A baseball weighs just over 140 grams
If you put a baseball on this switch it would not actuate.
This is the second video that i have heard "as the deer" as the sad song. Nice little cameo for a hymn.
Just added 150g springs to my Keychron K8 aluminum frame kb with Gateron Browns. I guess they’re “super browns” now? They’re stiff as all get-out but feels great in use! It’s nearly impossible to type a letter by mistake. You can rest your fingers on the keys without actuating the key which is surprisingly reassuring. It reminds me of typing on an old school mechanical typewriter. The Keychron has a high quality & solid “thock” sound when typing. Also I put Gateron blacks on the Mac Command Key and left shift key because when I press a two key combo like “CMD-C” it’s a little difficult when both keys are so heavy. I found it makes it much better to have a couple of keys with a normal spring and the rest with heavy ones. A true custom keyboard!
So glad I found this! Been on a binge through your videoes and love your videos and editing!
awesome, glad you like it!
prank an osu player by switching their springs with these springs and watch them suffer
I really want to see this in a really clicky switch and just hear "kachunk" every time you click.
Now do 20 gram springs or something.... Or just compare this experience with using 35g Gateron Whites...
bro how is this guy so underrated ive been binge watching all of his videos lmao
imma put this spring on my L shift and CTRL to make my pinky STRONGER :D
never have i in my life not pressed a switch that didnt bottom out with minimum effort looks like ill be getting some of those springs too
Finally i can use my full brass keycaps on my keyboard
Yo this sounds so much like lubed space invaders
yoo, they actually do. Well spotted, never made the connection
Those 150g springs look like the springs that are inside the clicky pens, and I have a lot of them at home. Don't give me ideas
The Anti Rage Typing after dyeing
my boy needs suuuuuper sized key caps bruhhhh look at them Giant HANDS Never throw hands with this guy he's throwing straight cinder blocks Bruh do you have little extendable hands under them monsters like franky from one piece? the keyboard is the size of your hand no wonder 150g was fine for you the weight of ya fingers prolly 140g.
You're actually the calebcity of the mech keyboard community
Since I type like an angry 1920's office worker, I think I might like needing more force/resistance than my stock browns give me.
I have to listen to this at least once a day because it sounds so nice
how in the fuck are you flying under the radar at only 13k subs this is some top quality content and I love it and boom new subscriber for you. Can't wait for kilo switches and 10g switches!!
Imagine playing osu on these
that's basically the keyboard roleplaying as a typewriter
"CHAD SUPER REDS"
*noice*
I see that Wacom CTH-480 my guy. osu! player I'm guessing? Cuz that makes everything much better.
I've been part of the mechanical keyboard community for 34 years and I'm so happy RUclips is recommending this type of content to me.
Thank you for the content
I tried this. Forceful really is the right word.
I hit that subscribe button after I heard, "What kind of Gigachad needs 150g springs?" the term Gigachad has never crossed my mind but will now be an often used word in my vocabulary.
Me whp didnt know red switches exist and bought a blue switch keyboard and watching this realizing how big ive messed up
I just ordered some 150 gram springs for Caps Lock, Esc, and Delete
It was my dream.... For as long as I had been browsing that night...
I'm fucking dead....
“It had been my dream since.. as long as I had been browsing that evening”
Too real.
2:57 aha now I can......
SLAP EVERYONE WHO WATCHES THIS VIDEO AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Are they viable for space bar? What's the heaviest space bar spring that I can swap to?
IDK about you but I could go for some cherry SUPER browns
When will people be working out by typing ( 10kg springs when? )
never thought id find someone that actually uses bing as their search engine
lool OBS and chrome weren't getting along
Makes me want to make Kailh super box navies
The switch for the discerning bodybuilder/mech keyboard enthusiast
Hmm, these could be great for ceramic keycaps :D
Shopping for springs to make a Frankenstein outemu brown switch (because why not?) and came across 200g actuation springs...the image of me resting peacefully beside my computer when a keycap and stem launch at the ceiling fan is all I could imagine.
dude I feel you - I haven't been able to source the 1kg springs yet but I know I'll be launching keycaps for days
These sound like my skateboard bearing’s name
About to switch out my 78g zealious v2 with 150g springs and I've never been this excited! Love the channel dude, your brand of humor is top tier I tell you, keep up the awesome work man!
i have watched all of the videos on this channel twice :D
love it
Haha 150g pathetic my membrane is 200g
Please try bending the box jade bar to a 90° angle to increase tactility immensely. It is super heavy.
You can get 150g springs on kbd fans
it actually sounds really good
I'm so used to my MX Blacks that whenever I approach an MX Red board the switches automatically trigger
imagine playing osu! with those
These would actually be useful with metal keycaps, if you don‘t know what I‘m talking about take a look at the linustechtips video in which he tries everything to make the worst keyboard.
God i love this channel
Imagine 1kg springs
well now you gotta do a 1kg switch review
if I can find some!
*Ahh, yes... my favorite type of switch... with that ohh, so distinctive Clack sound... the "Mr. Krabs Keyboard"... it LITERALLY sounds like Mr. Krabs walking...*
ah yes, perfect switches for osu
lol i use these to practice osu stamina
Last time I made a keyboard I accidentally got my springs mixed and put 275 g springs from my pen catapult collection
I just tried 75 g springs and thought they were too heavy... lols.
On the other hand the idea of not bottoming out is interesting...
Thank god you do "not bottoming out" and "bottoming out" tests. Nobody does that shit and it's hard blowing cash on switches that you only know the sound of if your're typing with a precision feather touch.
Just saw Chyrosan22's video on the Planck keyboard and he mentions the keyboard owner using 180 gram springs on Zealious. You should to try that and do a video.
hmmm.. if you have BLACK switch and then you switch to a 45g spring... do u then create RED switches?
ngl u deserve way more subs
That spring is for finger strength training, not typing :P
There was some company in Florida making 320 gram extra long springs. I don't think the switch housings could even handle that
should called it Ghetto reds

most people: i need to google something

Type writer simulator
I wonder how much force it takes to push a typewriter key down.
The method of typewriter typing is different with a lot more arm use than typing, obviously.
Glarses, the only person that I've seen who I've seen using Bing...this guy really does go against the grain
Find a 300 gram spring and buy some kailh box navys and you Will have some super heavy switches
