    Ha! Was literally swapping some of the Baby Ks I got from you for the Heavy Xinhai so I could put the Baby K in an Ergo once it gets here. I had them in a GEM80 that is pretty muted, while the Baby Ks were good the Xinhai are even louder! With all the foam and GMK caps it is actually a pretty loud deep clack / thock, sounds wonderful and indeed the factory lube is perfect on them!

    My personal favorite HMX switch this year is the Macchiato's I've tried a lot new HMX and BSUN releases this year and nothing compares to them in smoothness out of the box and an incredibly satisfying deeper clack. Sounds incredible on a Brass or Copper plate.
    On the BSUN side there is no comparison. Zuoce x BSUN Lavenders (which I got from your website) is by far the best. Hope you get more in stock soon, I want to order a set for my QK75n
    Runner up if you can't get your hands on a Zuoce Lavender is the BSUN FOX. Very similar to the Lavenders but slightly higher pitched. I love both of them.
    On the tactile side, it's definitely the BSUN HUTT. Everything a Glorious Panda is but lighter.

    I just opened this video to tell you this:
    My preference for switches are: deep sound (thocky if you will), on the heavier side and tactile, and recently, I built my second custom keyboard.
    My first one had the U4's as for the switches, yes I wrote it right, I mean the silent version of them, because I built a keyboard to use when I go to the office.
    So I was looking for the second board components... and then your videos came into my feed, and I couldn't notice how much you like XINHAI switches.
    This is what I thought:"These switches are so far away from my preferences, and this random dude on the internet glazes them so much, I must try them!" So I did, I bought them, the ones with the lighter spring, and for a very little price, like these baddies goes for the same price of akko ones in my country.
    And the result is... THESE SWITCHES ARE THE BEST THING EVER
    I only tried a few red switches from friends, like the gateron, otemu and kailh ones, but these aro SO DIFFERENT. It's like they built them forgetting the meaning of friction, it's like pushing a finger into a can of slime, and yet they feel sturdy and wiggle-less, I LOVE THEM.
    The sound they make in my configuration isn't too far from the one in your videos, although my preferences are completly opposite, I really like this clacky/poppy sound they make, they feel so premium and different from anything I've tried, and they go for such a little price too...
    Last thing I wanna add is that before the purchase I was unsure between the XINHAI and morandi switches, maybe I will try them later this year.
    Idk what else to add, other than thank you man.

      Thanks for sharing. I have the Morandis and I love them. They have a shorter travel which feels nice and premium, and they sound pretty good, but not as thocky as other switches. Some people don't like the stem wobble, which surprised me when I first installed the switches, but they don't feel loose to me while typing. My only complaint is that the switches sometimes make an annoying high pitch door creaking sound when typing on my middle and ring fingers, due to the loose stem. This tends to happen if you type the key at a roughly 45° angle, instead of straight down. If they didn't make that awful sound, these switches would be perfect to me.

  • @Xe054
    @Xe054 28 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I get the feeling that higher pitched switches come across as more annoying through the video than in real life due to video compression, mic, and headphone quality. Can anyone with clacky switches share their experience? Do they get annoying over time?

    • @huunhanle3809
      @huunhanle3809 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      High-pitched switches are not that annoying if you can get used to them and besides, there are a lot of way to reduce the overall high-pitched sound like: using softer plate, PBT keycaps instead of ABS, using gasket-mount, foam, using plastic instead of alu case for your keyboard, etc.
      Also, not all high-pitched switches sound identical, some may sound deeper than other due to their material. Gateron for example, they have the Pure Berry as one of the high-pitched switches but still sounded deeper than HMX switches.

    Feel like that keyboard is set up to be a cream/thock linear type. Doesn't lend itself to click or clack very well. Throw some box navy in there and see what it does to the sound... iunno, I really like click.

    “A bright sound signature”. Oh no. The audiophiles have entered the mechanical keyboard space. Next minute they’re going to start describing chocolatey highs, a lot of meat in the mids, and solid earthy tones in the lower thunk audio signature.

      HMX switches do have a somewhat similar sound profile to one another, but calling them all recolors is simply just not true. I’ve typed on a decent amount of HMX switches and can definitely tell the difference between any two when I have them side by side. I think it’s more of an exposure type of thing. Similar to an “all long poles sound the same” statement from someone who has only tried a very small number, if any, long pole switches, or an “all wine tastes the same” statement from someone who has had only a few glasses of wine spread out over a long time.
