I actually really like the sound of silent keyboards. Like I know the point is to not have a sound, but I find that subtle dampened sound really satisfying
The quietest keyboard is the one that displays the Keys with a laser, so If it displays the Keys on your bed it will be close to unbeatable in being quiet
The O-rings are literally OP at noise cancelling. You could skip the spray lubing and foam and just stick some O-rings in the switches and it would be quiet af! :-|
You have to keep in mind that the sound of you touching the keys makes a sound that doesn't happen when you press the keys down, so technically this keyboard is almost 100% silent
I'm always in a good mood after watching Switch and Click. This channel has great vibes and has THIS novice typer hooked! Learned how to type 3 years ago with two broken pinkies and am thinking of getting my own keyboard for this college semester, and modding it! Of course I will come back and watch all of the videos.
WD40 as lubricant, especially for plastics, is not a good idea. The solvents in it will disintegrate many plastics over time -- crazing, cracking and discoloring them.
Good stuff. I always wanted a key board that only lit up the characters on the keys, not the back ground. Much easier to see, especially in darker settings. Suppose I can just build it.
1 star. It needs to be so loud so that when I’m gaming, the only thing my teammates can hear are the sounds of me crushing my keys. Obviously this is a joke; I’m actually very intrigued on how one could make a silent keyboard.
After months and months of watching your videos and other TH-camrs, I finally got myself a Redragon K552. I was surprised to find a keycap puller in the box and 4 extra switches. Will try different types and application of lubrication to see which one performs best. I think I can sacrifice ScrLk and Pause keys as well in the name of Sayence. These are Outemu Blues so have to experiment.
@@evilsmileyface Its not the extra pins that are the problem, Outemu sockets are thinner than Gateron/Cherry switch pins, so before swapping the pins need be either clipped or dremeled. I have ordered a tester pack with a few Gateron Kailh and Gazzew switches. I will try swapping the lower housing on the Gats to see if they work. Its all experimentaion from now on. :P
Now that purple one is what ive been looking for in a keyboard for years, the sound of mechanical keyboards is what has really kept me away from them. For me i dont really care about tactile feel, i dont mind the mushyness of a membrane key, but damn those are nice.
I love the keycaps! I really want those, now! lol I am running kaihl speed copper switches. I like how they sound, but those switches you used... Sheesh! So damn quiet! lol Also, the nimbleback is my most favorite keyboard to modify. It has so much potential, with such a small form factor. :D
it’s impressive as a diy project! but i cannot understand why anyone would want to use these tbh. granted, this is coming from someone who unironically thinks the keyboard from ur loudest keyboard video was “not that bad, maybe fun to use”. for me the whole point of a mechanical keyboard is that it should be loud because it’s like a little challenge to make you type faster to make it go clckckckckckckck and get that sweet audio feedback for being productive lol. pushing keys with clicky switches is one of the few things that lights up the reward circuit in my brain lol. also that red silicone! that’s good stuff! great choice! platinum cure and easy to work with lol. i wasn’t expecting a crossover between two of my niche interests, keyboards AND molding/casting materials, oh wow what a neat video :D

Lol
Honestly I agree with you the sound of silent keyboards are pretty pleasing to the ear.
didnt expect to see intel here lol
Betty feels like she’s screaming constantly but trying not to wake her parents and I love it lmaoo
I like how she is either on the edge of quiet screaming or she just sounds so energetic but bored at the same time
that literaly makes me so mad her voice is so fkin annoying when she is ,,energic" and call me a hater, its the truth
@@StealthCheatz i agree with you
@@StealthCheatz I find her quiet screaming funny so it's an opinion not the truth
@@StealthCheatz nah you're not hater you just need to learn when your imput is necessary
@@StealthCheatz yeah it's so fucking annoying
It’s almost surreal to see such quiet keyboards
I like how they held such a tedious competition just to decide where to eat

The quietest keyboard is the one that displays the Keys with a laser, so If it displays the Keys on your bed it will be close to unbeatable in being quiet

Tip: You could make it quieter by just removing the switches and keycaps
then it wouldn't be a keyboard
@@TheRealBatabii It would be a board.
I love how Betty does that whispering energetic voice while Jake is around
The O-rings are literally OP at noise cancelling. You could skip the spray lubing and foam and just stick some O-rings in the switches and it would be quiet af! :-|
and feel mushy af
@@ireadysucks3026 She ain’t going for “feel” 😆 meets the brief
Remember that they also reduce travel and make them feel like you're missing out on the feeling of hitting the bottom...
But they also ruin the feel of the switches
Since these are op for noise cancelling, why not just call them "OP-rings"?

Guys. Youre awesome. I came to channel by accident and i love it! xoxos from poland!
thank you ☺️
I'd love to see a version where Betty has 1hr and Jake has 10hrs... the AC sabotoge made me laugh out loud
You have to keep in mind that the sound of you touching the keys makes a sound that doesn't happen when you press the keys down, so technically this keyboard is almost 100% silent
I love the color of the keyboard caps! You did a great job on your keyboard!
Thank you!
Silent switches look so fine, I'm beginning to think the o rings, key caps and all the ingredients cost more than the actual keyboard, lol
the keycaps alone cost more than the keyboard
O rings are cheap
How budget is your board my guy
spend too much on every single stuff and forgot to buy keyboard
I was seeing some keycaps that I wanted to put in my keyboard and they literally cost 70% of the actual price of my keyboard xDD
I'm always in a good mood after watching Switch and Click. This channel has great vibes and has THIS novice typer hooked! Learned how to type 3 years ago with two broken pinkies and am thinking of getting my own keyboard for this college semester, and modding it! Of course I will come back and watch all of the videos.
Glad you enjoy it!
I'm so glad I found your channel. Really love the content you bring plus your such a joy to watch. Proud to be a subscriber.
Thank you so much!!
"I'm not above sabotage" made me genuinely laugh out loud.
I just love the personalities. I can watch you guys for hours.
Jake my boy is gonna be a good TH-camr if he ever starts a channel❤
If i probably make my own custom keyboard i will mess up all the keys
7:23 Technically, if you don't screw the PCB down all the way, and it's resting on the silicone, it becomes a DIY gasket mount. It's a feature!
Amazing I love it .
It's looking like an periodic table.
The lack of reaction to the AC being turned off. I was anticipating that being a major factor in your build process! haha great video!

Betty sounds so exited and that’s very cool she enjoys doing videos and we enjoy watching them
Ayyy thanks
JAKE REVEAL
i actually enjoy your content tyy
Betty, thank you for making this keyboard because I can silently play at 4 am without interrupting my parents
Love your energy!!!
This is what late night pro gamers need when its already night time and u don't wanna make noise while gaming
I thought no way would I spend that much time on it, and then I remembered I’m doing a cross stitch project.
I love how excited she is that she gets to pick dinner
(also sushi is a great choice ngl)
spoiled it :(
Spoiler alert
whyyy
Ah, finally a keyboard to play at 3:am without my mom knowing. Thank you
When this keyboard is just perfect for playing secretly overnight >:)
Like me lol
Or those late hours exploring ideas on Reddit
You guys should try making the loudest keyboard next
I'm loving this channel, congratulations on the work :)
Betty is honestly just such a bundle of joy she makes my day
Thank you!
'smells like burning plastic' yeaaaaah... that's the WD40 literally breaking down the chemical structure of the switch housings
Melting switches would be so silent!
@@CaveyMoth no switch will be the most silent
Ok I have to admit, I wanted him to win, but sushi? You better keep winning.
Honestly really impressed with the results 9:55 btw
glad to see a really good/high effort implementation of the quietest keyboard challenge!
Glad you like it!
To each his own - I have a retro keyboard and love the clickity clack sounds of the keys like a manual typewriter !!
its so cool to see how much your channel has grown in the past year. Love the authenticity and fun content!!!
Thank you so much!!
Yipee!
So is everyone gonna ignore the fact that Betty is watching mr. Beast while lubing the switches?
oh gOD nO
no context
Well HOW DID YOU SEE THAT
IDK
I saw that and was laughing
Bruh I just saw you guys on my recommended and oml you guys are amazing lmaooo

WD40 as lubricant, especially for plastics, is not a good idea. The solvents in it will disintegrate many plastics over time -- crazing, cracking and discoloring them.
That wasnt the og wd40 though, iirc the yellow cap one is lithium based
Dumbass thinks someone would use petroleum based wd 40 on a keyboard.
Yup. It's a common misconception that WD-40 can be used for stuff like this. WD-40 is, in fact, _not_ a lubricant, and will destroy stuff like this.
I loved the way it sounded,, very quite, i love quite keyboards. wish we get those type of switches & keys here in India.
Betty in a solid space of chill but hubby Jake turning off A/C is dirty pool. Betty sez bring it on!
lol we have the same amount of subscribers love the videos keep it up

Get the akko cs switches, they'll fit
@@SwitchandClickOfficial thank you for the suggestion. Finding replacement switches for Outemu sockets is a pain.
@@N1lav you can just clip the extra legs off a 5-pin switch, but Akko CS switches are good options if you don’t want to do that

That ending was funny like no further comments just directly shows that they’re already at the restaurant 😆
People in game lobby’s: “I’ll do you one better…”
Also if you make a keyboard over 165 db it turns really quiet after a couple keystrokes
I've been enjoying these videos lately, I love your content on a lot of different keyboards
