- kinda loud
keyboards used:
(both Cherry MX)
silent reds: Leopold FC660M PD (Ash Yellow)
normal reds: iKBC F108 (UK Layout)
mouse used:
Logitech G305
fingers used to snap:
mine
very loose comparison of noise levels between reds, silent reds, and some noises
i thought osu would be a good way to compare because with streams there's a bit of pressure put on the keys and all happening very fast
yes that was the exact thing what i was searching for, thank you
Literally me too lol
I really wanna have a keyboard which doesn't annoy my mates in dc and such lmao
Very much so thinking about the Ducky One 2 Mini or SF with silent reds cuz duuuudeeee they're sooooo quiettttttttttttt
@@reserved2921 I was thinking about the osu keyboard with two keys with silent reds. btw I've ordered it and its almost had arrived
this vid helped me decide on silents! thanks for the short, simple, and to the point video
Bro it seemed like the red’s volume increased by 200% haha. Btw which switch gave you better acc (less misses, x100, x50, record screeches, etc?)
i got better acc on the reds, but this should not be indicative of anything in terms of gameplay improvement because this map for me is easy to over-stream, which i did a lot for both plays. it's also important to note that my finger control is quite bad actually and i'm not known for high acc plays in osu communities xd
2:15 passive-aggressive vs aggressive

HOW HAS NO ONE SEEN THIS. Well everyone doesn't look at descriptions maybe that's why.
I own both red and silent red switch keyboards, and I can say this really is a great demonstration.
btw: loved the red switch in the beginning, but feel too noisy after a couple of months, I'm lucky to find my love in silent red switch considering that many people won't even bother to try silent red switch, but my friend gave me one as a gift and it grows on me
Your ears and fingers won't feel tired at all, and if you listen close to it, silent red switch comes with that pleasantly scratchy sound that kind of makes you feel like you're using keyboard as a pencil writing your words on the monitor, if that makes sense
Thanks for this, other videos don’t do a good comparison between the two switches as you do. I can finally make my decision!
Great video. Straight to the point and exactly what I am looking for!
Dude, ur speed and stamina is amazing!
99% of comments: talks about switch.
Me: Holy crap what a speed player.
:D
due to the dampeners in the switch i find it more 'heavier' than normal reds ngl, since my fingers cant go as fast when i use silent reds than regular reds.
Although with silent reds its easier to have finger control, but lesser speed. whereas normal reds is vice versa
but that might depend on the frame of they keyboard since both switches of mine are from different keyboards, so bottoming out may feel different
Good video. Good comparison. Thanks you very much, bro❤
good video but i notice that the silent board is also placed upon a towel or cloth which will further aid the dampening properties compared to the regular keyboard placed directly onto the desk.
both boards are placed on the same towel, it's just that the full sized board covers it a lot better
i hope i cleared it up for you
i would really want to have a silent red kb, but in my country are imposible to find and they cost a lot
yeah i understand that :-(
yes. even from where I am. That's why i got a blue switch one
It’s available everywhere
Thank you for this silent reds it is.
1:38 holy...
left handed gang😳
If you put some metal background music for this it will be so dope!
this be way better for me especially coming from a huntsman i don’t even want to stream or play jump maps because I feel like my keyboard would be too loud
cherry mx reds are also very quiet on the leopold, get them if you don't want the mushy feeling of the silent reds
Nice video! Decided to get mx red silent myself :]
Thank you so much, awesome video!
uhh I don't know about you guys but I bought mechanical keyboard for it to be loud :D
that's the beauty of hobbies like keyboards, it allows you to have your own form of self-expression! sound profile preference is one of the many things that set us apart from each other, and that's okay :-)
I cant decide between silent red and regular red. I want to use them for gaming and also for making videos/streams. Is red too loud? I mean i have blue switches and my friends are always telling me to put away my microphone because my keyboard is loud. Do u have any advice? Maybe i will decide at regular reds but hard to choose.. :( (sry for bad english)
i think most retail stock keyboards that do not use silent switches are loud af regardless of whether it's a clicky switch or linear. getting reds won't solve your noise issue very much, although they won't pierce your ears as hard as blues
1:46 sounds so cool bro no shit
dude your normal reds kb sounds so sharp and sexy jesus. Can u do a vid on the original yomi yori/image material or freedom dive please, i am very curious to see how it will sound on those maps
i can work on something in the near future :- )
imo opinion it's actually better to hear the click when u play rhythm like game
cool and all BUT WAHT ARE TYHOSE FINGERS DOING TAKING OFF????????
This guy turned red switches sound to an uzi
Bro speed holy shit
I’m deciding on getting either the silent red cherries or the normal red cherries. What do you do better on? What do you enjoy playing on the most when it comes to gameplay and feel.
Edit: Anyone else feel free to response to this. I’d like to know since I prefer response time and I also prefer not too loud click sounds. What gave you a better experience red or silent red?
Idk but I heard silent red feels mushy
i cannot comment on performance preference. i think because they are similar weight and both linear switches i find it easy to adapt to either one so performance is more or less the same.
when it comes to gameplay it doesn't matter very much what they feel like personally because i bottom out regardless, although the travel distance difference can be noticeable switching from one switch to the other, which, again, only needs some time to get used to.
i apologize because i cannot provide very tangible feedback for your question since it's a perfect example of "you don't know until you try," good luck with whatever you end up with
is your rank 1000? youre just soooo freaking good at 250 bpm vibrating
top 3k at the moment
streaming a map in osu with red at night will immediately wake up my parents, lol
this is why im here
hope outemu white will do better than silent red
Hey! so i have been using this ducky one 2 mini silent red. The keyboard has always felt mushy for some reason, and everytime i click, it feels like some unnessecary force is requried to press down the keys. It has always been like that, do you have to like lube the keys or something?
generally you'd want to lube switches like these but i keep mine stock because i don't have the means to solder/desolder etc.
they sound like membranes
do they feel membrane? i ujst wanted to know because img getting the leopold fc660m with these.
maybe to some extent but it's been a long time since i've last used a membrane board so i have no proper way to compare
try lubing the red switch i know it might be pain but its worth it
It's been a month and I am totally conflicted as to which one to purchase, Speed Silver or Silent Reds! I prefer the lower travel distance of the Silvers while I also would like to have the silence of the Silent Reds! Currently using a K70 with standard Reds and I hate the sound and how much the switches travel as a bottom-out typist, making my fingers fatigued quick AF! Just bloody confused!!!
i think it's more fatiguing to experience the shock of the key slamming down a lot sooner on something short and light like silvers, which is ironically counterintuitive for long sessions of either gaming or typing.
standard travel distance is 4mm; silent reds have 3.7, silvers have 3.4. the differences between travel length may sound small, but it's a lot more noticeable than you might think.
how short and light silvers are can make you more prone to making inputs you did not mean to make, this happens to me on reds because reds are already so light, like i could be playing a game such as league of legends and press q by accident just from my fingers resting on qwe xD.
take note though that all of this is different from person to person, i'm only speaking based on my personal experience. i don't follow keyboard stuff like i used to years ago but maybe nowadays there is a switch that matches what you described in your comment :-). good luck.
It sounds like membrane imo
Can I ask question guys? I've been searching for good keyboards for osu, and I like this leopold FC660m, but it still got the old mini USB cable,, Now im stilll using my ducky one 2 mini and I got bored of it
I wanna ask is this leopold FC660m keyboard (the one in the video) have late latency? bcs it use mini USB cable?
sorry for my bad english
no, i didn't notice anything wrong with latency :- )
i've been playing osu with this board for a few months now, and it's been all good
@@meckdonalds thank you for your reply bro :D
now I dont know which to pick between red and silent red....
you could actually buy fl esports 68 from aliexpress with kailh box silent pnk swtiches. I have already bought one.
Question I just got my Frozen llama 2 with silent reds and I use gateron blues. Is there any noticeable difference in feel or pressing the keys between Cherry silent reds and Cherry reds?
i have a separate video about this, but yes, there are 2 main differences.
to sum it up:
- the most notable difference is scratchiness. silent reds are a lot scratchier than normal reds
- bottom-out: since parts of the silent red stems are slightly rubberized, the bottom-out is a bit softer, and this is where they're known to be "mushy".
you can probably observe my two keyboards in other videos, might help
@@meckdonalds ok thank you I got the keyboard mainly for OSU! But I ordered it 8 months ago so my preference has changed. I hope I’ll like them because blues are very good for me especially on OSU!
@@meckdonalds i dont know why but my reds are scratchier than my silent reds (both cherry mx)
i'm thinking of getting an fc660m so what switch would you recommend? i'm choosing between silent reds, reds, and blacks
is there a big difference in terms of feel between reds and silent reds? is silent reds less satisfying because it's quiet?
i'll make a short video about the differences i noticed between the two & my opinions soon
@@meckdonalds okay thanks!!
Would u recommend silent red or normal red just for osu
i don't mind either but i think if noise is not a concern for you i'd probably go with normal reds since silents have better potential when lubed etc
Are the silent reds modded (lubed etc)? That is way more silent than in other sound tests
everything in the video is stock
Is the silent red feel mushy? I heard alot of people saying that. Im really confused if i should buy the silent red or the normal one
the feeling of mushiness comes from the rubberized parts of the stems on the silent reds, so technically, yes, they are "mushy" to an extent because the bottom-out is slightly dampened. it's mostly this part of the switch that makes it a hit or miss for most people. i should also mention that s. reds have a shorter total travel distance than reds (3.7 mm vs 4.0 mm) probably due to the rubberized parts, but as for me, i don't mind either of these things. i can't tell you which one to buy, but hopefully these were interesting pointers :- ) my liveplays feature either one of my boards with reds and silent reds, so you can check those out for more sound difference etc. some people have told me they like the faint thock of s. reds while others say they like the snappiness of reds.
@@meckdonalds thanks, i think im gonna buy the red one
@@meckdonalds just bought the red switches. I hope its good
@@evonix2814 good luck :- )
@@evonix2814 so was it good? or it is too loud ?
what beat map is that
dash hopes 2 i think
switches are silent, computer sure is not
besides the laptop, i live in a pretty urban environment, so something like... the air is "loud" hahaha
can u do with other switches too?
unfortunately, no. i would love to, though, but that's not something i can get to doing any time soon.
so you are overstreaming 300bpm omg
nooo this map is only 250 bpm haha
@@meckdonalds still over streaming it lol
I made the wrong choice buying reds 😔 😟
aw! what makes you think so?
@@meckdonalds i had the option to get silent reds but i didnt, sadly
What ur opinion on o-rings
never tried em, sorry
@@meckdonalds why not
@@friendsRfor773 o rings never came across me as a necessity and i imagine they would make my fingers hurt more because i bottom out
@@meckdonalds wdym caps stay same height just lowers total travel
Do the normal reds and silent red feel the same?
no, bottoming out silents will never be as crispy as their "normal" counterparts because it wouldn't be silent otherwise
Does switching from red to red silent affect ur gameplay
if the silent red switches have the same actuation force, then no it will not affect your gameplay
@@daniwha tq for the tips
yep, kinda. the travel distance of s. reds is 3.7 mm and 4.0 for reds. this might not sound like a big difference but it kinda is(?) as someone who bottoms out my keys for osu. it's more prominent for me since i rotate between my two keyboards. there are some nuances in my hand position and the way i tap that i have to change if i ever decide to play on either keyboard (though usually i stick to one keyboard only when i play osu)
@@meckdonalds ok thx for the reply
man is overstreaming??
that is so quiet dude. you're fucking smashing that key and its not causing shockwaves.
they CAN get a little loud compared to their demo here, i have a singletapping liveplay with silent reds in my channel if you're interested
please link the skin that he used with the silent reds

Could I get the skin? Thanks in advance

Overstreaming :0
My silent reds are too silent i cant do asmr
with the right recording setup it's possible 👍
@@meckdonalds also i use a ducky one 2 mini on my shift key its slightly bended to the left how do i fix it?
@@halloguess4944 bent how? from what i interpret of your comment, it sounds like a stabilizer problem
@@meckdonalds so the shift key, you can see the silent red switch is between 2 blue things like the spacebar but its compact. Now that shift key is bent; but i do t see any problem in those blue things
@@meckdonalds so what should i do?
i hate my silent reds
unfortunate :- ( why do you dislike them? scratchiness/mushiness?
@@meckdonalds i feel the same. i wanna switch out of them. i only got them to be more silent while playing at night but they really feel too mushy and i just dont get that nice bounce back or feedback out of clicking that i want to have for getting used to good acc or improving single tapping
@@erystic yeah, i get you. i bottom-out when singletapping and when streaming, and it does feel a lot different compared to normal reds, though i also don't let it affect me too much
@@meckdonalds i learned to stream with these switches and got used to mashing because of their non distinct presses, and thats why I wanted to train streaming with black switches that are heavier and have a more distinct key press.
Can i have the skin :D
osu profile or fish around my older vids, i have links
@@meckdonalds ah got that, thanks
