I remember when hipyo tech barely had a thousand subs making silent videos but right after he switched to voice overs I had a feeling he'll grow and Lo and behold over 400k subs. I have the same feeling with this channel, you'll blow up sooner or later.
Not sure, switch and click talks super quiet and has the charisma of a rock and she has like 500K subs
Hipyo is literally a man child lmao
@@DashzRight "wooooow" 🤗
gooodness i am so late seeing this review Q^Q. Very insightful and def going to grab new springs. I hope I can utilize these in a thocky build that's in the works. Thanks for the great review!!
theyll be great for a thocky build!
I'm trying to decide between the Jwick and Durock T1s and loved this video, very informative, very detailed and very well done comparisons. Hope your channel grows and get the attention you deserve
Thank you so much! I'm glad the video helped.
@@coleydotmp4 quick question. do you think these will benefit from filming? I'm considering deskeys or poron 0.3mm films
Do the T1's have any north facing interference with cherry keycaps?
can't wait!
Holy shit, I have watched every YT lubing video for U4s that i have and the ping sound inside the switch didnt dissapear after lubing them. Even after the „Gazzew way” or any other. It was a nightmare to have a switch and clearly hear that awful ping cause its a silent. You are the first person who recommended putting the permatex inside the leaf and omg finally i am satisfied with the result :D
Also, I have already noticed by myselft that Gazzew springs are overprised garbage and if use a 65g version on control keys, than lubed stabs will stuck cause springs are too weak. I will definitely spring swap the U4 with long 70g and 80g for spacebar.
What a great content ! Good job
Love the video! well you got a good point there swapping springs make a huge different well base on personal pref. i come from clicky unlube, from durock t1 lubbed (no legs lube) indeed, and i got a new board this week wich i choose for a first a linear switch. may not be the best but it came with TTC Gold Pink, and i didnt really like its about 43g of force and after lubbing my whole sets i did found some 2 stage springs set 58g and omg the sound has changed, the feel is freaking awesome and honesly I don't hate tactile either clicky but i think i really appreciate linear much more now. ;) u dont like a certain switch mod it, change a spring, lube different Even doing some mixes with others switches can do the trick. !
Excellent review, these are on super sale right now, 90 for like $12. If you haven't tried the WS Heavy Tactile they are pretty amazing and inexpensive as well!
T1s I found way too tactile and heavy so Im glad you highlighted that. I feel like I have seen other comparisons that put T1s in the mid range. Where I have found them to be heavier than Bobas and most other medium switches. I would say with a heavier switch, it may actually be preferable to lube the stem bump if you are using a lighter lube like tribosys.
It may be pushing the boundary of budget, but I have found TTC Blueish White and Tecsee Purple Pandas to be really good tactiles that arent too heavy, but not insignificant like browns.
Very true! I think that there's a lot of options out there, but these felt like the best price to intense tactility ratio switch i could think of. Heavy tactility isnt for everyone - myself included!
i have the Durock T1s and I love them! its, definitely tactile.
Damn, you know your shit. Underrated channel.
Thank you for showing the 63g spring mod. I’m looking for a cheaper alternative to the Boba U4T and these (with springsj seems to fit my budget.
I may do a silly thing and put T1 stems into a Gateron housing.
Also, this is the first time I've heard of using dielectric grease, or any lube, on contact leaves. That's acc very helpful and may solve my big issue with these switches!
Overall really good video, its great to see some budget tactile alternatives besides Akko or Mx brown. Although regarding the comparison to other tactiles, I found that to be a bit off putting. By no means am I an expert and I’ve personally only built a couple keyboards and tried a handful of switches. But from what’ve learned, koalas are just t1 recolors and there is slight difference between the two. And then secondly, when comparing the tactility between switches, it would make sense to use to the same spring and keep them in the same condition whether thats stock or lubed, to maintain an equal comparison. Gotta reiterate though that your content is really great and am looking forward to your next video, keep it up!
That is fantastic constructive criticism that I will absolutely consider when i review tactiles in the future!
I did a little research on these switches and apparently there are 2 variants, one is full nylon, like yours, and the other is PC Top, PA66 Bottom.
I wonder, would they be much different sound and smoothness wise ?
The PC top ones are the v1s Jwick t1. Its not as good, and is not really popular. Its not hard to differentiate is them, the new t1 have the jwick logo, and the v1 have harder top
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it Surgeon!!
Ordered the Jwick T1. They only had black. Saw same units on Ebay but they were V2. Is there a Difference between Upgrade Keyboards and the V2 Version of these Switches? Great Video, Forced me to buy the Switches and the 63g Springs! Nice Job Missy!
i swapped the spring of a gat pro yellow with the progressive spring of a
feker emerald and It sounded really really great. I dit it also with the spring of the oil king and it didn't sound that grate.
I think tactility is not really affected by the spring weight. It's the bump that I consider most when feeling tactiles. I get that swapping the spring into something heavier can make the switch feel better but not necessarily its tactility. I do like it on the heavier side too, though.
longer springs can make tactility heavier
i'm 2 years late but i'm new into this hobby and just got this JWK T1. it's the best tactile i got across my switches which are akko lavender purple v3 and leobog building block v2. i love it, it's the right amount of tactile that i need. not too heavy, not too light. buuut the black nylon housing is literally blocking my RGB LED, my keyboard looks like it doesn't have any lights.. i'm starting to regret it lol i should've splurged for the original durocks
that's awesome you were able to find this switch and that it worked out so well! I ended up gifting this set in a board for my brother for christmas, he absolutely was drawn to them the second he tried them.
Nice video.
Have you ever tried KBDiy kb1 fantasy switches, the green ones? Got them outta AE for a bit less than 40¢ a switch. They deserve more love for a tactile budget. Kinda snappier and thockier ajazz kiwi.
I have never even heard of them! I should look into it!
Without the spring swap, it's essentially a JWK Obsidian V2, formerly known as the JWK Lagoon. Same price too.
Good to know!
You are an absolute gem 💎❤️. Btw any idea if upgrade keyboards ships internationally or know any good global vendors for quality springs?
They ship internationally, but it might be expensive. Quality springs, you're looking at Prevail springs, Sprit springs. I'd start there and then look at Alex Zotos's vendor list on his website to find somewhere close to you geographically.
I got them a few weeks ago, 28€ for 90 switches (even tho they have a pc top), wish i found out about them earlier! In my experience u4ts are funkier but the price... Yeah...
I also believe spring would change the tactile experience drastically, i haven't tried it yet but my next build will definitely have some heavy tactiles with 72g 3 stage lumia springs! The fun part? I actually have weak fingers, yet somehow i started loving heavy tactiles and can't even get back to linears anymore :D
definitely pick up some long springs then! it makes the return really snappy.
Lighter springs will put heavier emphasis on the tactile bump. The "drop" will feel larger as your finger will travel further with more ease after the bump. This is why ergo Clears are so popular, as the stem is really nice when you can actually feel it. Try putting heavy springs in Browns or Pewters, and they'll feel linear.
Is it possible to make aluminum boards like the bakeneko 65 as deep sounding as a plastic board because i want the premium feel and weight from an aluminum board but the sound deep sound signature from a plastic board
PE foam, tape mod, and foam (Goka foam) help with this to make it sound deep. It also depends on the switches you choose and the plate. For deeper sounding plate, you want polycarbonate.
@@holykeebs6770 Yeah I’m aware of the mods needed to make a board deeper sounding but i’m just wondering if with all mods done can a aluminum board sound as deep as a plastic board? I’ve got oil kings with sa key caps and trying to figure out what board to transfer too.
@@brody6377 probably not. Yes the keyboard could be deeper but with the mods, couldn’t be near a plastic board with the same mods.
I agree with everything Holykeebs mentioned! But yeah, there is a base level that metal boards simply cannot reach. My bakeneko will NEVER be as deep as my 67 lite, no matter what mods. But i love both sound profiles depending on my mood so its nice to switch them out.
I honestly çant wait for this livestream oh building the board, hopefully it's before 1:30am this time!
You should rreally let me know your time zone egg bc i want to make sure you're there!
@@coleydotmp4 lol u know I'm british so... GMT, I posted this comment at 20:56 now u know how many hours away I am
i already have the switch its nice
which is more of a heavier tactile: akko v3 pro lavenders or ocean blues?
I haven't tried the blues but i would bet the lavender has a larger bump - i think blues are supposed to be like browns so much lighter. purples were snappy
That switch comparison half way through 😳
This is why switch sound tests are soooo difficult. you really cant tell bc everything around the switch affects it so much!
Tactile gang finally getting some lovin'
its about time yall finally get some affordable options!
I really like these switches with aflion panda stems and dualstage/slow spring.
oh that's interesting! what effect did changing the stems have?
@@coleydotmp4 In terms of tactility I'd say that the aflion panda stems have little difference to the the jwick t1 stems, with the jwick t1 stems being slightly more tactile. In terms of feel, the alfion panda stems being long pole makes for a very quick bottom out after the tactile bump in the t1 housings, making these switch feel very snappy (which I really enjoy). In terms of sound, well being long poles, the aflion pandas are quite clackier than the t1 stems. All together though the jwick t1 housings with aflion panda stems and 62g ds springs makes for the snappiest/most tactile switch I have ever used.
Do you recommend filming this switch?
I wont recommend a switch where filming is required - you can try it for yourself and see if it's worth it, but personally i try to stay away from switches that need filming.
What are your favorite tactile switches??
mx browns
I don't have a keyboard yet
But I guess since I only one type of switch, Durock T1s
@@blayses3116 i suggest you get a kbd67 lite. That is such a good board.
@@dokimochi1607 I agree
Ajazz kiwi. They are cheap and so good. Factory lubed, double stage spring, and it is so tactile but not heavy spring so I can type a long time with them
Hey Coley again. I need another switch recommendation. I'm on the zoom65 groupbuy, if you don't know the zoom is known for a very creamy sound signiture like the epoch because of the layers of foam. Do you know any "creamy" linear switches that might go along?
Yeah!
I just got a batch of invokeys Matcha Lattes - the factory lubing is fantastic. They go in and out of stock but if you join their discord, you should be notified when they come back in stock. the factory lubing blew me away! Seriously need to make a video about them.
Other than that, gat oil kings have the smoothness of CJ's but a deeper, creamier sound. Gazzew LT (linear thocks). There's also Popu switches on elboard (OP black recolors) that are gonna sound creamy and poppy. A classic "creamy" switch is a lubed alpaca (if you like the sound of NK creams but dont want the scratchiness). Ultra budget-wise, lubed KTT switches like mints would be good, though they are a bit clackier, they're really smooth. I would avoid switches with a really clear top housing, that usually results in a clacky upstroke.
@@coleydotmp4 Thanks so much! I would love to join your discord since I got uh.. banned from hipyo's because for reasons.... What do you think of epsilons, because I was really considering that.
@@arckeys6132 why'd you get banned there?
And havent tried epsilons but i heard good things from multiple people on my discord that have them.
@@coleydotmp4 hahahaha... long story
Love your videos...
Glad you like them!
Unrelated but I love your hair :))
Thank you :)
does it have any cherry interferance?
that's more a question about if your switch sockets are north facing LEDs or south facing. You want south facing to prevent interference. These have a tiny, tiny bit of length beyond the top housing that might help - but tbh i woud just make sure you have south facing LEDs if you want to use cherry profile.
does it have any interference with north facing pcbs and cherry keycaps?
These stems do go all the way down, if that's what you're asking! So maybe not the best choice to pair with cherry keycaps on a north facing pcb
@@coleydotmp4 oh alright. thanks for the help though!
Can these be broken in to fix the crtchibess
Yeah, you can also use more lube than I did. I went minimal lube because I didn’t want to lose any tactility.
Try use the spring of akko lavender
Afilon pandas on UpgradeKeyboards is like 35 cents rn i think
also a great budget alternative
Yep! I mention them at the end. I think they are only 35 c /switch. And after spring swapping, i've heard people like them more than Drop HPs. Makes you think... either way, aflion is amazing and definitely is kicking ass as a new switch manu.
@@coleydotmp4 Yeah hopefully they start taking some more of the market. would be great to see another manufacturer in the game.
You know any light tactiles? I'm still in the linear gang but would still love to try some tactiles
Yes! Cotton Candies or Canonkeys Naevies are both great picks!
@@coleydotmp4 Oh, is there any light tactiles I can get for like 70 under $30?
@@arckeys6132 Mx browns xD
yeah, theyre tactile, but have you tried tactilified 40g clickiez?
Haha i cant afford those! well, i can, but the goal for this video was to find the budget tactile king. I'm sure those are fantastic switches though, and ive heard great things.
@@coleydotmp4 > I'm sure those are fantastic switches
They are fucking unusable lol. They are definitely nice as clickies, though they aren't really worth the money. Save up for alps.
@@nonnegaard Good to know! yes, the best compliments to those switches ive heard is that they are actually good clickies. but not really worth the price for the gimmick.
@@coleydotmp4 I definitely think this is more than a gimmick as it aims to bring back probably the best clicky mechanism of all time. I think people might have found the sounds underwhelming as part of what made alps what they are is the thick keycaps they often shipped with alongside big hollow plastic cases. My NCR80 remedies both lol. Heres me typing this comment xd th-cam.com/video/Fjh96QVMJvY/w-d-xo.html
Bro I spring swapped on my linears and now I'm on 80g double stage.
helllllll yeah. i love two stage springs with all my heart.
Try Ajazz Kiwi 🧐
banger video epic pog omegalul xd xx gamer
ty homie >:)
If you want a super heavy tactile you should try the hako royal trues
I'm personally not the biggest fan of heavy tactiles haha. my next tactile switches will be high quality light tactiles, like naevies!
@@coleydotmp4 👌👌
how are the alpacas considered budget :')
they once were, theyve been price hiked. they used to be 35 cents/switch :')
after this video, coley has bought 200g springs
(unfunny joke)
i have to curb stomp the keyboard to get it to register
That cream abuse tho
fantasy virus belike : FINNALY A WORTHY OPPONENT
Haha you're not the only one mentioning them. I've never heard of them before your comments!
@@coleydotmp4 their have a long stem , a green housing (led killer) , a double stage spring (heavy af) , ........ pe foam + tape mod + fantasy virus = *popcorn*
Holy shit your channel grew
No I came at the end of the premiere :(
awwww :(
Definitely NOT thocky. Its CLACKY yes. Thocky and Claky are NOT the same. The one you got is a deep clacky.
