    I love the first cream blues but these just seem so much better so I placed my order on 2 packs, thanks for the review.

      @@zakkmanFor me personally they have a deeper pitch than the non pros, its a subtle difference but i think they sound better

    I’ve got these today and installed them into my prebuilt keeb (lofree pro touch tofu) which has standard gateron pro red switches and I enjoy the deep thockiness so much. Awesome switches.

    Is there any difference between the tactility of the cream blues and cream blue pros? How do these compare with the jelly purples? Do you have any recommendations for sharp/snappy (not rounded) tactile switches?

    Do you think there is a difference in sound from the blue pros and the yellow pros?

    • @PrestonsThoughts
      @PrestonsThoughts  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Barely it's just that one sounds more tactile as the other is linear

    • @_dillion_
      @_dillion_ ปีที่แล้ว +1

      in terms of sound, the blue pros have a deeper clack imo. yellows have a higher pitch clack. In terms of feeling, I prefer the blues for the tactile bump but that's just my preference :)

    Might have to try these myself. I actually enjoyed the originals so I'm interested in how these compare.

    Can you recommend me if I should get the normal ones or the pro ones?
    I don't really care about the sound , I 'm just worried if the shorter travel distance are noticable comparing to each other

    I picked up some of these and they sound great in more enclosed board like a Q series of my GMMK Pro but on a plate mount they are quite loud. However they were very smooth and I didn't need to lube at all. Now just trying to find the right board to put them in as they are stellar switches!

      I lubed mine and now they are noticeably quieter. I've seen this with other akkos too.

    • @lukmandanish96
      @lukmandanish96 ปีที่แล้ว

      they can still fit if you cut off the 2 plastic pins but it'll be easier to just get the non-pro version. k617 uses outemu socket so Akko switches are few of your only choice for non-Outemu switches.

    are they different to the normal cream blues in sound and feel?
    i plan on making a build with the cb v3 pros and some leftover cb v3 regulars, that's why i wanna know if the difference is very minor so i can use them in the same board, or if i should just buy the standard cream blues to match my current switches.

    • @oshxdxw
      @oshxdxw ปีที่แล้ว +2

      they're basically the exact same switch but you would probably notice key stability between your non pro and pro versions. just get the same ones that you have of leftovers.
