Excellent comparison, you usually find people doing a "review" of a switch by itself (in stock and l+f variations) - which is of limited value if you cant directly compare it to a large range of similar switches. For people building their first (or second, in my case) custom keyboard, and not having a large breadth of switch variety on hand, this is exactly the kind of analysis I'd be looking for to decide which switch to use.
Came across this review a couple of months after post. Gotta say I love the review and the way you respect the time (and probably attention span) of your viewers by cutting to the chase then doing all the detailed sound comparisons thereafter. Bravo!
This video was super helpful! I've been wanting to build a cheap keyboard for a few months and I've spent a while looking for the right switch. This helped me figure out the right one for me, thank you!
I love how well organized this video was. I can tell that you really planned out which clips you were going to use, and that really showed. You earned my subscription!
Good luck for the rest of your career, this video is so good and useful. You helped me get the right gateron yellow, and conveniently the gateron yellow of my choice, in terms of feel, sound, and performance :D
Only issue with the clear top G Pro Yellows are the seemingly weak top housing, they have tendencies to bend out of shape especially around the LED cutout when taking it out.
Banger video. Swear 99% of the keyboard community do inane comparisons of different switches but don't line them all up in the same way, same position on same board as you've done. Makes it much easier to get a steer as a consumer.
The CAP v2 design is for tighter tolerances (just think about the design mechanically and it makes tons of sense). Allows for less stem wobble. CAP v1 wasn't up to par like the v2. Personally think CAP v2 milky yellows are better than the KS-3 Pro milky yellows that people loved.
also to note lubing with 205g makes the gpro yellow sounds scratchy and hollow/empty (im guessing something to do with my lube job) but sounds much much deeper thock after using 105g
Nice video man. Gat yellows are arguably best budget linear on the market. I use the gat yellows pro prelubed on KBD67 Lite and it is decent for the price 0.24 USD.
Just ordered some Gat Cap yellows, I had several other creators refer to them as "budget black inks." Going to put them into my Tiger 80 lite when that arrives.
You're punching well above your weight when it comes to quality. I assumed you were one of the bigger keyboard channels that I just hadn't heard of yet, turns out you have
This video is correct. I got gateron pro milky yellow and its lube is not that good. When bottoming, there’s a significant noise and it does bother when typing. I’ll buy clear top next time.
Zaku and this one is was supposed to be my go-to switches since I am just starting out nut one is expensive while the other is I just don't really know what to choose xD *Bought epsilon ironically much more expensive than zaku lol
which key type is best for someone who accidentally fat fingers a lot, hitting extra keys n shit. Im on Oetemu reds right now on my k668 and its so annoying, i need something different...is Yellow my best bet?
One thing I was hoping you’d touch on more about the KS3’s, they’re available in 3 other different color combos I’ve found: black top black housing (my favorite looking), milky top black bottom (through Novelkeys) and full milky housing. In your experience how different do these three sound to you?
Haven’t tried all three, won’t be trying all three. G Pro’s imo are the best Stock, KS3’s are nice if you lube them but G Pro’s have tighter tolerances anyways so I wouldn’t bother because you could just lube over them and it would be a better switch. The differences between them are so minute and the Nylon housing is higher pitched than the Clear tops or milky housing in an entire board
Love this! Extremely helpful! I know you felt no need to add lube to the G Pro factory lubed, but in the test where you did that, did you remove the factory lube or just add the new lube on top? Also confirming the new lube was Krytox g205g0? Thank you!
Copped some G pro yellows! Will be my first linear switches coming from Gateron G Pro browns on my Keychron Q1. Really enjoy the G pro browns and was gonna splurge on Black inks for first linear, but then would have to pay three times as much and lube them.
Eh. It’s okay, but not different enough to warrant getting the cap switched over the Gateron Pro series. G pro yellows are just so good, I just got some g pro silvers in for my Ducky One 3 as well!
Has your opinion changed on the G-pros? What switch are you enjoying right now, rather it be a gateron or something else. I’m still so torn on whether to get the Milky v2 or g-pro. I am not patient enough to lube switches but I have modded my brass plate Keydous NJ80 to the max.
ks3 is perfectly good switch having breaking in and lubed. The Ks3 milky top however is just a league above. However what I'm interested about gat cap switch is it's spring and how the typing feels, is it more bouncy due to hella long spring and air resistance
Amazing video man! Ob and also I am planning to buy a 75% keyboard which I need 80 switches for. On amazon it only gives the option to buy 35 per packet, and although there isn't a BIG issue with have 105 switches, I kinda have 25 switches lying around and i think it's a bit of a waste. Do you think there is any possible was to bypass this problem?!
That keeb sounds soooo creamy omg 😮 I’m trying to make my build a bit more creamy/ thocky. I have the Gat yellows in it right now. Looking to do some more mods like sound dampening. I have PBT taller key caps on it for that deeper sound. Anybody have any more recommendations for a deeper tone?
I have a few Akko jelly blacks (unlubed) or should I get some milky yellows with lube? Also if I were to get the milky yellows could you tell me how they are stock and if I need to use 105 lube
The Milky Yellow Pro stock is very good in my opinion, smooth and not a single spring ping spotted but I'm still recommend lube and film them for a more deep sound. I've tested them on KBD67 Lite with PC plate and silicone PCB foam and boiii~, them switches are deep and kinda muted now. They can't even clack lol.
@@TechKile They are on a different level. its worth the video lol. Edit: Plus they give an insight on what to expect from Zeals new switches that are on the way in march.

That’s what I try to do! Isolated, everything is great, but when you put them head to head, what’s really worth chatting about.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
Thanks for your hard work for society
ik this guy is lying when he said written on mobile , he just said it so he got more likes lol.
@xao yeah, could be true but I really did write in on mobile. There's no way to prove it tho so believe what you want to believe
Came across this review a couple of months after post. Gotta say I love the review and the way you respect the time (and probably attention span) of your viewers by cutting to the chase then doing all the detailed sound comparisons thereafter. Bravo!
Its crazy about how you only have 1k subs. Your reviews are much better and honest than some of the 'big' keyboard channels.
its the look if this guy lmao
This video was super helpful! I've been wanting to build a cheap keyboard for a few months and I've spent a while looking for the right switch. This helped me figure out the right one for me, thank you!
No prob, thanks for watching!

thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make this video! it was so helpful!! 👏🏻✨
I like this video. Short and sweet with the comparison at the end. Good job.
Only issue with the clear top G Pro Yellows are the seemingly weak top housing, they have tendencies to bend out of shape especially around the LED cutout when taking it out.
Good point, but honestly, probably not worth lubing haha
Banger video. Swear 99% of the keyboard community do inane comparisons of different switches but don't line them all up in the same way, same position on same board as you've done. Makes it much easier to get a steer as a consumer.
Haha thank you 🤣
Every other review was missing one or the other model, but you got them all. And for that thank you sir!
Even de G Pro in stock version sound smooooth. What a nice switch. Thx u, now I know what switch I want!:)
The CAP v2 design is for tighter tolerances (just think about the design mechanically and it makes tons of sense). Allows for less stem wobble. CAP v1 wasn't up to par like the v2. Personally think CAP v2 milky yellows are better than the KS-3 Pro milky yellows that people loved.
Really good and covered everything I wanted to know about Gat yellows, its appreciated!
Thanks for the video man. I was gonna buy the KS3's and block the RGBs if not for your video.
Great vid btw
hearing those keyboard clicks is so satisfying and relaxing.
i agreee hands down gateron gpro yellow ftw sounded night and days different when i put it into my k6 poppy/thocky ish
This was so useful, bought your recommendation. Thanks!
this is the best video i have seen yet! thank you so much and keep up the great work!
also to note lubing with 205g makes the gpro yellow sounds scratchy and hollow/empty (im guessing something to do with my lube job) but sounds much much deeper thock after using 105g
the Gat Milky Stock ones sound like there pre-lubed.
Nice video man. Gat yellows are arguably best budget linear on the market. I use the gat yellows pro prelubed on KBD67 Lite and it is decent for the price 0.24 USD.
I bought gat milky pro yellows with discounted price 0.11 USD
Interesting sound coming out of that milky top, really nice.
I think so too!
Now you have the yellow cap V2 not covered in this video wich has some minor improvements like a new stem and holes to let air flow
Thumbnail: GAT
Me: OMG GYATT LES GOOOOOOOOO I WANNA WATCH
Just ordered an Alice Layout with lubed Gateron Yellow Pro 2.0 switches. Thanks for the video.😁
The G pro milky sounds great stock.
Would rather the Gateron pro yellow tho.
Just ordered some Gat Cap yellows, I had several other creators refer to them as "budget black inks." Going to put them into my Tiger 80 lite when that arrives.

thank you so much for making such a helpful video!
thanks for the review and the recommendation, gonna buy it later
This was great and I only wish there was a typing test for each one.
God damn the commitment to this haha absolutely love it :)
Haha thanks!
your such a underrated ytber
Great vid. Personally I like the lubed G Pro yellows the best.
I get confused on the naming of Gateron switches -- are the Gateron G-Pro yellows the same as the Gateron KS-9 Pro yellows?
for me
the thockiest gat yellow was the gat milky yellow
Zaku and this one is was supposed to be my go-to switches since I am just starting out nut one is expensive while the other is I just don't really know what to choose xD
*Bought epsilon ironically much more expensive than zaku lol
which key type is best for someone who accidentally fat fingers a lot, hitting extra keys n shit. Im on Oetemu reds right now on my k668 and its so annoying, i need something different...is Yellow my best bet?
I am going to mod my k12 with milky yellow pro switches and add some factory foam coming with the keyboard i hope i dont f this up lol

Nice! I hope you could compare g pro yellow to g pro red aswell...
that g pro yellow lubed is amazing

nice choice!
Thank you for making my life easy!
this man is insane and am surprised that he doesnt have 100k subs atleast already
The mad lad did it
Hahaa 😛
How does the gateron cap v2 with its newer mold compare to the older gateron cap v1?
Eh. It’s okay, but not different enough to warrant getting the cap switched over the Gateron Pro series. G pro yellows are just so good, I just got some g pro silvers in for my Ducky One 3 as well!
Has your opinion changed on the G-pros? What switch are you enjoying right now, rather it be a gateron or something else. I’m still so torn on whether to get the Milky v2 or g-pro. I am not patient enough to lube switches but I have modded my brass plate Keydous NJ80 to the max.
My guy stopped using his index finger on the space bar! Nice job Bro
ks3 is perfectly good switch having breaking in and lubed. The Ks3 milky top however is just a league above.
However what I'm interested about gat cap switch is it's spring and how the typing feels, is it more bouncy due to hella long spring and air resistance
Just bought some KS9 PRO 2.0's thanks
Waiting for my Cap V2 Golds to arrive 😇
No gateron phantom yellows?
In another video, the Milky Yellow sounds deeper than the KS9 Pro Yellow
Excellent video. Thank you.
Спасибо за такой позитивный отзыв, кажется я определился с тем, какие свичи буду брать =))
When lubing the G Pro, did you remove the factory lube, or did you just put 205 on it?
I just gave up looking and bought the Yellow Pro's. Too much variation for such little change of sound.
Can the gateron g pro yellows be used for gaming
G pro yellow vs cj vs epsilon, which is best in terms of smoothness? Also how's the sound comparison?
Cj
Epsilon is best sound
Modded: CJ > Epsilon > G Pro yellow
Stock: Epsilon > CJ > G Pro Yellow
Price: G Pro Yellow > CJ & Epsilons tied.
@@TechKile could you tell me which is better stock? Akko rose red, Akko jelly black or gat milky yellow?
u bought all so i dont have to? or is it "so i cannot"?
is the Gat yellow pros the same as the gateron ks-9 yellow pros? Also thanks for the vid!
Hey can any one please tell me is the all black milky thcockier than the normal one
thank god that he didn't do a step by step breakdown of each switch like thank you for just telling us the result lmao
just earned a new sub
No, Thank you🤍
mans got a baby face (no front i like it)
Could I ask where you got your blue and white keycaps from? 5:34
I loved your video! It was super helpful
Cannon Keys! Called winter tundra
Yo why don’t he upload anymore. Dripped like 7 high quality videos and never came back
Amazing video man! Ob and also I am planning to buy a 75% keyboard which I need 80 switches for. On amazon it only gives the option to buy 35 per packet, and although there isn't a BIG issue with have 105 switches, I kinda have 25 switches lying around and i think it's a bit of a waste. Do you think there is any possible was to bypass this problem?!
Ah idk man, might just have to bite the bullet lol
From my experience, it is better to have a couple of extras - I've had 4-9 Ink Black V2s I've had to replace or DOA.
That keeb sounds soooo creamy omg 😮
I’m trying to make my build a bit more creamy/ thocky. I have the Gat yellows in it right now. Looking to do some more mods like sound dampening. I have PBT taller key caps on it for that deeper sound. Anybody have any more recommendations for a deeper tone?
what kind of gateron does the Skyloong GK61 have? somebody knows?
Oh bummer, i don't see my favorite in there black bottom milky top
What do you thing about g pro Milky top? I can't find clear top one
5:00 g pro yellow lubed - 5:12 milky yellow pro lubed
Can you also do compare all other black gaterons?
👁👁
How would u compare the smoothness of the pro 2.0 vs cj?
Which keycaps did you use in the video @tech kile?
Bro can u help me...do you preferes Epsilon or Cow switches? Theres difference in terms of sound?
Cow switch review coming soon, but I prefer epsilons. Epsilons are snappier
You forgot the gateron yellow ks3-x47 (milky top black bottom)
Okay. Not literally every Gateron Yellow, that is impossible lol. But this should be more than enough to pick one that you like🤣
Hmm but there's KS-3X1 too
Well obviously if it’s a new release lol
So which switch do you think is the best stock ?
what about optical yellows?
Does gateron switches fit in huano sockets?
Please buy every nk cream switch so I don't have to! They have like 6 different ones on their website.
👁👁
Where did you get your keycaps?
Amazing conparison :)
no gateron x?
Quilts conent so good
I have a few Akko jelly blacks (unlubed) or should I get some milky yellows with lube? Also if I were to get the milky yellows could you tell me how they are stock and if I need to use 105 lube
The Milky Yellow Pro stock is very good in my opinion, smooth and not a single spring ping spotted but I'm still recommend lube and film them for a more deep sound. I've tested them on KBD67 Lite with PC plate and silicone PCB foam and boiii~, them switches are deep and kinda muted now. They can't even clack lol.
Do these switches have interference on Northfacing LEDs on Cherry MX keycaps?
Check Keeb Taro video, they comparing both pro switches. Gateron Pro Yellow 2.0 pass paper test on north facing + Cherry profile keycaps.
Would you recommend the yellow pros or milky yellow pros?
Depends on your preference. Go for Pro Milky if you want a deep sound :D.
Would you do a video comparing all the gateron black variants? Like the Ink v2s, box inks, g pro inks, etc.
There is one more you missed. The gateron X Yellow.
I did! Honestly, I didn’t think it was worth it to buy some cuz I’m sure they’re similar to KS3’s or the Pro KS9’s so. I suppose I could make some lol
@@TechKile They are on a different level. its worth the video lol. Edit: Plus they give an insight on what to expect from Zeals new switches that are on the way in march.
THANK YOU
is the gateron milky yellow pro a newer version?
it is! It's the latest version using a new stem design and housing with tighter tolerances
Do these allow for much RGB shine through?
Yup! Especially the regular G Pro’s and milkys
