I made a mistake, Naevys may not be JWK, aeboards utilize their own molds but there is no confirmation on who manufactures the switches. My bad! Also, there was a mistake in the description of Zykos, it's PANDA tops, not Boba. Sorry about that!

what are those keycaps looks minimalistic and clean

you actual madman, thank you for this
Shoobs is the scuffed god we didn’t know we needed
Oh! Hello there Hamaji
I am waiting for Glarses comment on 18:12
no, thank you for giving me the push to sleep at 4am instead of 5am
hamini neo
Funny how i went from watching your videos about tf2 and then becoming intrested about mech keyboards
Intro: *zooming into MX Browns*
Glarses: And I took that personally.
Shoobs finally came out of his editing dungeon
Now I sleep... or not
@@ShoobsTube 6am gang amirite
@@chunkymilk1288 basically my schedule nowadays lmao
i went to sleep at like 3pm last night, i mean day
@@ShoobsTube you re not weak?
Btw Shoobs, you don’t take things “as” a grain of salt, you take things “with” a grain of salt ;) I figured you were just saying it wrong, but it’s written like that in your intro disclaimer as well.
this comment just changed my life.... I've been saying "as" for my whole life lmao. no one stopped me.
@@ShoobsTube [as]
lol, didn't notice he wrote that
You forgot to rank by empirically the most important metric: housing and stem color
bro i love the wobble tests he does for these videos, its always so scuffed and he's just rambling to himself... love this guy
I love these series, the big bad switch tests. You nail the format, and your voice is hecka smooth and soothing to listen to. Keep up the amazing work bud. Your an asset to this community!
I didn't realize we got another marvel movie #lineargang

Love your videos. It's great to hear someone's in depth experience and opinions on switches. Keep up the good work and congrats on 10k subs!
Thank you so much for this fantastic comparison - the video is really informative and I love how you scored the switches according to different parameters and visually ranked them, easy to follow and visualise!
One suggestion: working a bit on your audio (recording and post) would be a great way to boost your videos. You have a very calm voice and smooth humour, both things you should capitalise on on the audio department :)
damn shoobs really blew up in just a few months. Congrats man!
About time you did this. THANK YOU SHOOBS
Great video! I like the part where you demonstrated each switch one after another by spam clicking consistently. Very helpful.
I’m glad you made this video. It actually helped me!
Im late to the party im sorry, but damn the effort and work you put into this video amazes and inspires me a lot! Thank you again for this detailed comparison, grats again on the 10k!
Glause should like this one. Team Tactile! 💥
Tactile Gang rise up
This is such a thorough list. Well made. +1 sub
Wow! Such a great collection of tactiles! :D
Good Review! Good to have a price comparison perspective!
every video has so much "shoobs essence" its so special and I just had the best dish washing session of my life to this video thanks shoobs 👍👍
Holy! I can't even imagine the time that took to make this! Thanks for putting this together for everyone brother!
You mean the time it takes to switch a single key switch and keycap and the then tap it consistently till it comes. And repeat? He only gets credit if he had done each board entirely filled with a switch with a real typing test. Then went back and lubed them. Then filmed and lube. That’s work son. This is just jerking off the z key.
Needs more views. Really appreciate the effort!
congrats on 10k subs, wait till you get 100k soon!
Good on you for making a disclaimer that there’s different tactilities for different people. Great video, I appreciate the lack of filter too.
Tactiles are super hard to cover honestly, I prefer to speak on linears haha. Just gotta put disclaimers to let people know that my information may not be 100% accurate
@@ShoobsTube I do the same thing. I’m sure you’re aware :p
Pls help my eyes are swollen and feel like exploding so this is last video for tonight
Edit: we shall also wait for glarses due to the inclusion of Mx browns in tha tactile category
Your my favorite keyboard youtubers, I am so glad I found your 100-250 keeb video
Thank you so much for making this video!! god bless you and ur efforts
I wasn’t a tactile guy until I tried the U4T. That’s a game changing switch.
lube or stock? :)
it would be great to see where how the tactiles compare to the linears soundwise. You could for example add one of the mid sounding linears in the batch for comparison.
Do silent switches next, I am having fun with this series.
yes please, Silents of any kind are better than both linears and tactiles imo
@@StaticNebula26 um... silents are either linear or tactile lmao
@@amathine440 I was saying that I like both silent linears and silent tactiles together more than the others
And I like silent tactiles the most
@@StaticNebula26 ah that makes a lot more sense
@@StaticNebula26 kinda late but what silent tactiles would u recommend
Some say he's still tapping the Z key
@Caleb Danis wut
Gotta respect the effort that went into this. Righteous work, man.
thank man, it took a while to get everything together.
Damn you deserve so many more subs excited to see you become a major voice in the community still gonna wait for the cliccky switch overview :konk:
I ordered a sample of silent tactile bobas and they are nutty. Super excited to get the full shipment to drop them into a build
Thanks for the video really helpful and well made keep it up!
holy shit that's a lot of switches
this is what i've been needing as tactile gang!!! thanks shoobs
I'm thinking of going tactile as i find i make more typos on linear switches. Thanks for the video!
Man, the effort.. Good job boss!
Thanks Shoobs. Nice vid. Ever sense I got a buckling spring ⌨️ no MX switch can compete.
Again i will say you are doing gods work
it must be done
This can't be legit, he's not wearing any ring
my fingers were too tired from hitting the one key
Thanks for tbe video! Great overview and really interesting getting other people's take on tactiles.
Since you have the parts for it, could you try putting a Dark Jade stem and spring into a Kiwi housing (bottom and top?) I really want to know if I'm the only person who finds this frankenswitche really appealing. To me it feels even than Bykos. Thanks dude!
Thanks for the video!
Congrats on 9k
why do I love your intros so much
Thanks so much! I think I'm going with the Zykos.
I want to see you suffer, where's the Big Bad Clicky Switch review and the Big Bad Membrane Keyboard Review peepoSmile
topre is technically membrane so it wont be full pain
@@boiledicetea no it isn't. it literally doesn't have a membrane. rubber domes don't necessarily have to use membranes and membranes don't necessarily use rubber domes. its a capacitive design, therefore it has a pcb and no membrane.
@@NautsuJJR sorry i forgot it had a pcb
@@NautsuJJR A Model M would be a membrane board which is clicky tho :D Of course, no domes(usually), but still
Big bad clickies but only alps clickies
The boba housing switches sound the best for me. Though I have a thing for kiwis because their housings are so beautiful lol. Anyway, cheers man!
i think my favorite part of these videos is the stem wobble test idk why it makes me laugh everytime but is very informative
I can only imagine all the random switch parts you have lying around your room 😂
Very informative video! helped alot
Thank you Baka. Hope to see you around soon on the discord!
I loved the way the Moyu Blacks sound.
But it's pretty hard to get them where I live, so I guess I'll go with the Bobas. I was in between Bobas and Glorious Pandas, but Bobas sound better and the stem seems more tactile.
Built my first keyboard build (budget) with linears. Looking to see if tactile would be fun to type and game on. Thanks for the video!
the disintegration at the end. lol Im glad you gave into sorta telling.
>*wobble tests Outemu Skyblues*
What he said: "nice"
What he meant: "I... don't even want to comment on this"
had to sub after i saw you slap those switches against the table.
Would love an episode on some non MX style switches in the market. Stuff like Topre and Alps style switches
What a nice work you done there.
You can actually compare tactility by pressing two switches with the same spring against each other. Holy pandas are a lot less tactile than all franken variants with zealios and boba bottoms and even zealios and u4t themselves in my testing.
much wow! next KANGAROO switches! great video comparison! much in-depth ! very nice!!!
yes
What a banger of a video! Truly a memer of culture taking the hit o7
thank you engy
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THANK YOU SHOOBS, JESUS CHRIST
Ayeeee I was waiting for this!!!!
so glad i found this channel.
Yo Shoobs, dope video! I fell in love with tactile switches the day I got to sample the whole lineup of Zilent switches. (I chose the 78g version for my keeb.) This awesome comparison video showed me more tactile switches I need to try, especially the Zykos/Bykos switches!
Btw, are some of the timestamps 30 seconds off? On my end, some of the time stamp descriptions don't match the texts in the video. Just wondering.
thank you for pointing that out. there was a sort meme clip in the beginning that had to be removed due to copyright. Messed up the time stamps! will be updating them now
I wish you had silent tictiles too. I know that there are niche switches but anyway, great job!
Damn with that intro and all the glowing comments I was expecting some kind of Marquis Brownlee rollin out but then we got a pair of hands.
I'm so glad i got the boba U4Ts. really good price for what im getting, and they type nice! :)
I was watching the linear, it was amazing. And this is even better
Literally was just wishing for a video like this and then the algorithm delivered.
This video feels like a radical candy shop. But in reality, candies are disguised drugs, and you entered a drug cartel.
Thank you for the video.
Thank you Mr Shoob
YOOOOOOOO NEW SHOOBS UPLOAD
hopefully this one isn’t a mistake
Edit: it wasn’t a mistake
every video I make is a mistake
@@ShoobsTube can’t tell if your videos are a mistake with good moments or mechanical keyboards as a whole are a mistake with good moments
I'm a mistake
@Shoobs can you overlay the price of each switch when you do the scales of tactility and sound? Adding the switch name could also be helpful
DADDY SHOOBS I WAITED ALL DAY
sorry it took so long, it was a long one
@@ShoobsTube no problem man great video keep up the great content
finally something who doesn't roast Mx Browns lol. Great video.
based outro choice and helpful vid overall
DUDE THANK YOU DO MUCH
i stayed up too late to wake up early and too late to wake up and be productive
but just late enough to watch a shoobs mega tactile switch breakdown
As soon as my ali order comes in, I'm making some outememe switches. Silent grey, lubed filmed, 150g spring swap. Hoping for a solid muted thud, and some tactility to remain. If not I'm gonna try to source some V2 stems because the general consensus is they have the biggest bump it seems
1 year later: did you succeed?
Nice vid bro
Yo Shoobs, do one on silent tactile and linear switches and see which one is quieter
When the Dragon Fruits first came out I asked TKC directly on IG what the housing material is and they told me "the same as Kiwis"
AND kiwi's housing material are described multiple times online as "the same as Tangerines"
why cant they just write "UHMWPE" for all three 🥲
I like the less tactile naevy and dragonfruits for feel. Boba u4t and Holy pandas can be ok for me depending on spring weight and lube on legs but damn they are loud
The kiwis and holy bobas sound so nice :3
I would like to see a video like this but about Clicky switches. People seem to talk Very less about Clicky switches. I dont even know many options for clicky
Than you for this!!
Love your intro
Super helpful review but it seems to be missing one important switch for me. How would you say Box Royals compare to the rest of these in terms of tactility?
Where would U4 (silent) fit on this tactile scale? I have U4Ts coming to me after getting U4s and bobagums for the silent build. Very happy with these Gazzew switches.
The constant mention of "in my opinion," I argue, is actually hard to continuously do when speaking. I give you much respect for all the work (and money!) you spent into making this awesome video Shoobs!
much love thank you so muchh
Genuine and probably ignorant question: during the wobble test visually I notice way less wobble in the "wobbly boys" and much more in the "nice" ones. Am I missing something?
I assume wobble is just clearance between the stem and top housing, Sky Blues for example seem to have A TON of wiggle room judging by the video
Quick question, I hope I just didn't notice you mention this in the video but were all their spring weights the same? Because I've heard that you made rules for the sound test but I don't think there were some for the feel/tactility test. Thank you Shoobs! Great video as always!!
For the tests, I just used the stock springs for each switch. I got the lowest offered weight for each switch but yeah I did not spring swap for the tests.
@@ShoobsTube then again, this is obviously such a hard and painstaking topic to do 😂 Kudos to you man!
Bykos were my pick as well when based purely on the sound, hard to judge the feel though. Finally bought Boba U4T's yesterday..
NIce, how do you feel they compare after 8 months?
another degen hours upload, thanks shoobs
Great video, would watch again if you reupload it so you get that sweet sweet ad revenue to pay for the frankenswitch addiction
Bruh the voice that shoobs uses When he does the stem wobble test sounds like the optician s giving me and eyetest, number one or number two
