    Just a tip, based on how TH-cam algorithm works, comments > subscription > likes. So at the end of your videos, better ask your viewers to comment instead, to widen your reach since your content deserves it. 👌

    I know this is pretty late but how does this switch compare with the akko lavender purples and akko v3 cream blue pros? Theyre the only tactiles I've tried

    Hi the switch have a high pitch sound ? If you try the Akko cream blue v3 is more or less pitch sound ?

    the baby kangaroos as far as the sound and feel profile is concerned

    Hi there, Merkeebs! Great video.
    Pertaining with the sharpness, is it comparable to Gateron Blizzard/KNC Green Jackets/MoYu Viola/Geon Clear?
    Cause if yes, that switch will be my next choice for my HHKB. 😁

    • @Merkeebs
      @Merkeebs  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The IC page compares the tactile bump to the Gateron Blizzard and Gateron Baby Kangaroo switches.
      From personal experience though, can definitely say its comparable to KNCKeys Green Jacket Tactiles and Moyu Viola switches.
      Haven't personally tried Geon Clears yet so can't really compare.

  • @Walkdthock
    @Walkdthock ปีที่แล้ว +1

    They sound reallyyy good lol! How do they compare with cream sodas? I'm going for a more deep thocky tactiles. Are these better that cream sodas in this regard?

    • @Merkeebs
      @Merkeebs  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cream Sodas are definitely thockier. These switches do lean towards the clacky side more that's for sure.
      Though comparing linears and tactiles is a whole other discussion altogether.

      @@Merkeebs my bad man. I got confused. I was actually trying to compare them with ice kachang by keebz n cables not sure if youve heard of those switches tho, but theyre kinda like the 4uts but for me a little better?

    Good video, though I have a random question. Is the narration your actual voice or are you using a voice actor?

    • @Merkeebs
      @Merkeebs  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It is my actual voice haha. I get this comment pretty often and still wonder how people really find that hard to believe hahaha.
      All the proof is in my stream VOD's or even over on my Twitch. But then again even the people in my community find it hard to believe that it's my actual voice lol.
      Thinkin if I should start doing on-camera work so that people start believing the voice is legit 😆

    Hi, how is the lube method in this video compared to other traditional lube methods in terms of souding, feeling, and consistency. Does it affect the tactile bump in negative ways? Do you have any videos of this lubing method in details. Thanks.

    • @reiny038
      @reiny038 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    @jammies701 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just want to point out that both sound tests were ABS. I’m not mad or anything, but I think you could’ve had PBT in there. I may be biased because when I tried the Cream Sodas, I noticed the sound with ABS wasn’t very… substantial?, but somehow PBT almost completely solved that

    way too pricey when u can get 90 switches guaranteed to be good for around 160 to 200 rmb which translates to around 20 dollars
