- #Keybored JWK Can Make Great Long Stem Switches Too - Quartz R2
There are so many different switches out there right now that it's just wild. However, there are some crowd favorites that are just not easy to get... Like the C3 Tangerines. However, if you're a Tangie lover, you have a great alternative... the JWK Quartz R2. The Quartz R2 takes all the greatness of Tangies and adds a smooth long stem pole. Awesome.

all your videos are extremely beneficial for people like me. this hobby was a little tough to get into but finding sources like your channel prove that its fun and satisfying. keep it up!
Thank you! Glad to hear the content is helpful!
Hey Scott, I think it would be a great idea to revive “Should I splurge or save” series. You could cover switches and double shot abs keycaps like Epbt, domikey and obviously GMK for example. I hope you doing well. Keep up the great content.
I would like to make a video suggestion, could you make an informative video on different type of springs, spring length and spring weight, and their effects on the acoustics as well as the typing feel? The way you discussed the trick spring on this JWK Quartz R2 makes me want to learn more the impact of the springs on the acoustics and the typing feel of a keyboard.
Will keep it mind as a video topic suggestion!
+1 to this video suggestion!
These switches look and sound amazing defineteky going to buy them soon!
Especially if you like tangies, these will be right up your alley!
Thanks again for the great content :D I hope you can do a more comprehensive list of the deflection measurements. Hoping to see how Gazzew's switches would measure up since they're renowned for their tight fit
Will try to cover more in the future!
I really like how you did this test. I think it helps a lot from a consumer perspective to understand exactly what the switches are overall so I can have a better idea of what they would do in my build. It'd be really cool to see some tests with the gateron base set as well as comparing switches with different variants, so do all the standard switches, gat yellows blacks, blues, ect, but then doe a test with the milky blacks, ink blacks, ect. But with just one switch so we can observe the difference,
I own some quartz r1s as well as some Tangies and, idk if it has to do with the batch variance or something, but I feel the quartz switches sound significantly better than the Tangies. The Tangies have a unique, thin sort of "slappy" (sorry, this is quite difficult to use real words to describe lol) quality to them that I really don't like. The Quartz switches are more well-rounded and overall closer to a typical JWK imo
Hey, love your videos and i just received my second bakeneko 65 as i loved it so much. I find the sciencey side to the switch reviews so interesting and as i dont know what to put in my new build, i think it would be great if you could make a huge switch comparison with all of the popular ones, and even maybe just a spread sheet with all of the data from switches you have tested so far. i hope you can maybe make this far fetched idea a reality and look forward to seeing what wonderful content you make, to do with switches or not.
edit: you could also make a video on how the different keyboard lubes make and different brands of film can change the sound
Man jwk always makes cool looking switches
Right? The colorway on these are fantastic!
I'm a sucker for the JWK/Durock T1s myself. That sharp looking teal and smoky housing, so cool.
I feel like I always learn the most new information watching your videos. I hope you continue with the style of sprinkling a little additional info, beyond that of how deep most creators would go into each particular facet, as you continue covering keyboard-related content in the future. It's great stuff! 👍🏻
you genuinely make some of the best, most informative, and well presented videos in the keyboard scene. keep it up, people like you are why the hobby is expanding and becoming more accessible
Great video! Love this comprehensive analysis!
Do you think in the future we could see a video on which switches work with north facing boards? I know you've covered it in the past, but a lot of the time it varies case by case or switch by switch!
Thanks!
Thanks! I'll take that away as an improvement point
Hi keybored, pls do a review on the epsilons when they restock. I am very curious about them and I'm trying to pick epsilons or the cjs. I would appreciate this and I am only asking you because the quality of ur videos is insane.
Edit: THEYRE IN STOCK
Added to my wishlist.
I hope local seller will sell it, already checked still unavailable.
As always, your video review always best. You compare several switches and review objective as much possible.
Thanks for make this vids.
Anyway, I don't buy Gateron Box Ink, cause already had chosen Epsilon.
the quality of these videos, very informative and super detailed. Getting into this expensive hobby I always feel like I have to know every single detail there is before assembling so I wont regret buying them so your videos help a TON.
I always go to your channel before anywhere else for ANY keyboard related stuff I look at youtube. Every vid is always so complete ❤️ Keep up the great work!
I love your vids for the fact they teach something new and super informational to move the hobby forward. Just a quick constructive critique I see with a lot of content creators who find their niche. Don’t get pigeon hole’d into doing the same content. I love your work and energy you bring to these, but I just want to see you branch into other types of keeb content with your own educational spin so your channel will continue to grow. Keep up your amazing work. You effort shows in your video and I want to see you grow!
I appreciate your efforts to add more objective data points to your videos. I'm curious if you can get or print a holder for your phone that will hold it at exactly the same distance on position for the spectrometer parts.
Just realized the Musetsu I’m looking at is just a tactile version of the Quartz R2 and the Hoshizora is just a recolor.
This is a reminder to watch videos till the end, I saw these had a long stem and wouldn’t have interference so I bought them for my northfacing pcb but I just watched till the end and supposedly there is still interference 😩
Sheeeesh
Might choose this instead of creamsicles for my maja v2 that is still in group buy
did this guy get sponsored by apple or something? it looks like he’s teasing the AirPods Pro 2 that all those leakers say are gknna look like that weird case he has in the thumbnail
I didn’t know novel keys cream was blue?!
Dammit I ordered tangies a week ago
Then you're one of the lucky ones that got a hold of some :)
Noti gang!! (will leave comment when im done watching lol)
Thanks!
Always appreciate your switch reviews due to the rigorous testing and objective comparisons.
Are they compatible with north facing led cherry profile
My brain just can't comprehend physics-wise how these turbo springs work… if a force is applied to a spring, all coils see some of that force and deflect in proportion to their material properties. I get that some coils are smaller than others, but what matter does the orientation make? Perhaps Korean steel is magic…
idk how true this is, but I imagine at least part of the reason is the weight of the spring. Since actuation force is relatively low and the weights of the stem and spring are low as well. The side of the spring towards the bottom of the housing will see more force.
I would also love this to be explained in a scientific manner. I am of the same understanding as you are, that the orientation shouldn't affect the behavior. I understand how progressive and multi-stage/complex springs work, but again, orientation does not matter there.
@Dexter I agree with you in the sense that the narrow end of the cone would have a different compression characteristic from the wider end. But could you elaborate on why the orientation should matter? Since the force is applied across the whole spring, as far as I understand, the narrow part would compress first and with the same required force regardless of where it is relative to the origin of force. I would love know more about this, so if you have any resources on this, I'd be glad if you could share them.
Can you do a review of Epsilon switches?
Finally another beloved switch review. Love the comparison charts!
Hope it's helpful!
i challenge u to build a 100% keyboard
Thank you for bringing these switches into light. The Quartz are so severely underrated.
You know... I didn't even think twice about them until I got a batch... Then I thought...why don't I use these more?
the springs are absolutely terrible. scratchy, crunchy, pingy even after 105 or donut dipping
hello!!! youre my most trusted source of keyboard information!!!! i would love more switch reviews!!
Hi Scott. Great video as always! I've noticed you've been using the Tecsee carrots recently. Could you make review on that? Or maybe the new NK Creams? 🤷
I had to order these from Shockport in Ontario but still - great switch. 100% wish I knew it was a long stem before buying them (and hate retailers who don't list that sort of thing, after looking at half a dozen switches across 20 or so sites... you can loose track of a detail like that) and holy christ is the long stem noticeable, uuugh.... other than that these are great (though unlike Scott I absolutely filmed my V2s)
I'm really glad to see the subjective rankings included. While objective information is useful, it's most useful when combined with the subjective experience as well. Keep up the excellent content Scott!
I'm wondering how this would compare to the SOTC switches also made by JWK. Great video :D
Has anyone experienced extreme spring ping with the Quartz V2? I've even tried donut dipping but the spring ping never goes away for some
I have got some quartz V2's waiting to be lubbed. The Carrots sound so good though!
Quartz V2s also sound very nice. But most of all, they feel even better!
When u lube these switches and you realize the pain in the ass getting the springs the right way
Lol this is fact
Quartz vs epsilon?
Very nice review. I think long pole switch is very popular nowadays. Btw can you review ktt strawberry? I think they're long pole too
Lubing these springs are gonna be hell
might be a bit late for this comment but i found the spring’s designer on taobao in a store called jtalin springs. he says that the turbo spring was designed to have the narrow end face the bottom housing and lodge onto the bottom pole housing to make the spring more stable, eliminating any spring scrapping or crunching. Having tested it out myself, i highly recommend following this
I wonder how this new batch of P3 stems would fare in making a BCP
How would you compare these to the Tungsten switches? Im looking for some good long pole linears thanks!
You do the best in depth switch reviews on youtube without doubt. These look pretty good, however i already have some OA's,CJ's and tangerines, that will do for now lol.
doctor strange
Wow, thank you for that. I was looking for more tangerine type switches!
Would a keycap O-Ring solve the interference issue at all?
Hmm... I never tried this
I've always wanted to try Quartz Switches but man, you nailed the first line of the video perfectly!
have my r2 just sitting in my shelf since january. can't wait for my boards to arrive this summer. the turbo spring in these switches is genius.
If you already know, do you know how many switches those containers on the ikea skadis can hold?
Holds 90 no problem
Can I please know where you got that wall of containers for ur switches? That’s the coolest thing I’ve seen
Hi scott love the vids just wondering if when you cover the cost portion of the switches, if maybe you can call it a cpd or "clack per dollar" ratio to see which switch is the best bang for buck option
I really love how explanatory are your videos. Have you tried epsilon switches? What's your opinion about them?
Thank you for listening to feedback and great video as always.
Are you going to make a spreadsheet of all of these stats to rack and stack everything you have reviewed and tested? I really like how you present the data with the 5 category rankings and I think not only myself would love to see all the switches you have data for on the same sheet for an easy to click and syphon through data set. Keep up the great work and looking forward to more of your reviews/testing/videos.
please do a big switch review like shoobs did but with your graphs and science magic
This or the gat oil kings?
Do these quartz switches have the same sluggish linear feeling like some other jwk linears?
Are Tecsee Carrots good?
wow
Would it be possible to host a website that has these graphs with a full set of switches that have been tested previously, available for viewing?
Yea these switches are fire
The switch sounds like a QUARTZ Clock
I bought the quartz v2 a few weeks ago, and was going just lube them today and put them back together, without thinking about the spring placement. Thank goodness I watched your video, will keep that in mind that affects the feel of the switch too.
review clickiez please
thock profile 😅
POM still the best?
Quartz v2 or sotc
im gonna get these switches for my build
They're actually pretty great
one of the best keeb youtubers on my list, keep up the great work, im so tempted to get these now 😁
Good effort
I recently stem-swapped a bunch of NK Silk Olivias with Durock POMs and I feel like they are almost exactly this switch. Good to know these exist so I can get more!
For sure! I hope it's still available
Another solid review! Your format hits all the right notes. What made you settle on using the Portico (w/ aluminum plate) as your test bed instead of the KBD67 Lite? I thought you favored that board in a previous review?
Great question! I decided to use the portico with the alu plate because it sounded neutral. The kbd67 light airs on the deeper side so I wanted to use a board that was more middle ground. Plus it's a weird green color I can't match keycaps to haha...
Best switch review I've seen by far. The data on stem wobble and sound is really interesting. Keep the good work.
:) Thank you, I appreciate it!
so since these are linears, why 105g0 instead of 205g0?
It was lubed with 205. Springs only for 105
@@Keybored ohhh okay that makes sense
You should compile all the switch info you’ve gathered and post it somewhere we can view
Yeah... I need to start a website eventually. And also thinking of offering to sell some of these builds on it... It's starting to pile up
Is there a eu/uk vendor for these?
sound frequency charts?!
Are the oil kings still in fact the kings?
Awesome video. Really useful as always.
How do you compare Quartz vs Episilons?
I still haven't tried epsilon :( however from what I gather the epsilon are deep sounding switches, while the Quartz is very close to a tangie
the stems would be great for frankenswitches
Def need to try that out!
Just curious what decides which switch review your going to do.
Typically when a switch stands out for something, or I tried it and feel it's good and should let others know :)
I was just contemplating buying these! You just never miss
These are great switches actually! And they look really nice
Thanks for the vid, really helped! Unicorn Candycane Princess GB when? XD
Haha soon!
there's an actual unicorn switch on hippokeys right now made by gateron
@@jcutfiend why is that an actual thing
@@jcutfiend hahaha
thank you
Great Review!
these videos are the most in-depth, good job!
Thank you!
Hello there
Hello!
hi!
Hello!
springs don't have orientations. think about it, you're not compressing from top to bottom, you're compressing from softest point to stiffest point.
don't fall for the marketing.
Hands down my favorite switches at the moment. I’m so happy to have these and idk I think that if your keeping the stock springs I like these better than tangerines!
The 63.5g reversible spring is great weight and very good. While I think the 62g is to light for the tangerines and the 67g is awful to type on and much heavier then I would ever want…. So for me I have spring swapped my tangerines 🤷🏼♂️
Honestly I like the weight and feel of the quartz v2 springs so much I was looking to buy some separate from the switches the other day 🥺 but couldn’t find any
Also the longer pole is great these sound and type great I can’t stop using mine … and I learned about them here lol
I agree that the stock springs on these are very good! I really enjoy these switches :)
Great review as always! Super informative and love the ranking charts. Those are extremely helpful when comparing switches. Any thoughts on Gaterons new Blue Bubblegum switches? And have you seen the tease of their North Pole ones on their Twitter feed? Curious to find out what type they will be...
Damn. I gotta check out these Tecsee Carrot switches now. Never heard of them until now. This is why you angels exist.
