It took half a year of being stuck at home to develop a keyboard-building addiction
I always knew they existed, but I never really had the drive to build one. Now, I’m waiting for my parts to arrive lol

im thoroughly convinced that hamaji decided to make keyboard videos just so he could flex his typing skills
i mean, you're not wrong.
why? I thought he was flexin his pinkies...
“He’s too dangerous to be left alive”
If I became good at typing I'll try making keyboard videos as well

the new transitions are even cleaner than they used to be. im blown away.

What transition
@@ryanxu9983 star wipes.
On the real tho, Ive been noticing people use the term "transitions" more. It apparently devolved from just saying "editing" which probably specifically refers to the video fx.
Thank you for highlighting how creams are not smooth at all before breaking in. It's always crazy to see how many newcomers buy it without doing proper research!
Smoother than cherrys.
But there is something to it. They have a unique sort of high frequency resistance.
It feels... I dunno, suede-like? Wax papery? At least compared to the gritty death I think of when I think of "scratchy"
I can definitely still feel it on my numpad keys, but the main keys are lovely.
I was one of those people (saw tfue keeb vid and decided to build one), but after lubing and breaking in they are amazing, I might even dare say that they are endgame worthy
Keep the reviews coming bro, we need more straight forward reviews like this as many switches as we can
I love watching all this new and regular content, even though keyboards have never really been something I have been interested In. Honestly, your videos are so well made that you could make production on anything and it would still be engaging and professional. I hope to see more stuff like this in the future (and remember that your attention for detail and standard for high quality really shines).
This is the kind of person who will notice the smallest noise change in a lightbulb
oh my wallet i'm getting deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole
Same
Wow, this is probably the best tech review bro style video that actually goes in depth and isn't surface level. Il be keeping my eye open for more like this.
I’m glad I seen this, I almost wanted to cancel my order for my black ink switches but after seeing this video, I know my choice was a good one and I shouldn’t cancel to get the creams’. Thanks!
dude i acually love your vids you inspiered me to make my own keyboad and you explain everything well. well done keep it up
i love listening to hamaji explain keyboard stuff
He went from my favorite tf-tuber to my favorite keyboard TH-camr
Yknow when I need a new keyboard I’m going straight to hamaji
i love they sound, they sound so good
same
I used them heavily stock for like 4 months and yes, they do indeed clean up quite a bit over time. Just be patient before lubing and you will be rewarded.
I'm going to try this soon! thanks for this video. Great job! Subscribed as well. :)
Hey man! Love your keyboard content! Thats why I subbed lol
Love your stuff Hamaji, btw thinking of doing the exact same build as the one with gmk 8008!
Just another channel being a keyboard channel AND I LOVE IT!

Your videos about keyboards are very interesting and enjoyable to watch. Please do more videos about keyboards,keep up the good work.
Great explanation for those who are new the the keyboard scene. But I would argue even before Taeha video on TFUE keyboard Novel cream was already pretty popular among the keyboard community. Everyone know's its flaws of being a scratchy AF switch without lubing and yet after lube it is actually one of the better sound/feel linear switches with its lower tone thocc sound.
I love your keyboard content :)
Hey Hamaji! I used to watch you for your old tf2 stuff. I had heard you moved on to different things, and at first I assumed other games. You can then imagine my suprise when my brother got into keyboard making and bought these exact keys and switches. I asked him why he wanted these specific ones and he redirected me to this video. Super well edited as always. Hope you do well!
I’m really late but that’s sick haha
This switch is clean and love the sound 👌
It’s dog shit lmfao get blockdd
the fact that it focused on him after he said clarify was amazing
I just had these in my head and I got this video recommended
Follow the white rabbit
I love the scratchy sound. Like biting on an apple.
That's probably the best description of it I've heard lol
it sounds really nice!
love my gat yellows, I keep them stock cause I like the sound. I've been thinking about getting a keyboard with cream switches so thanks man!
I liked this vid cause I love the fact you're putting a very clear comparison and the way you put it out, was great
I actually bought creams which I haven't used, I've been using tangerine which I think is quite heavy at the beginning, but, you'll get used to it, and it's smooth af.
Even though I haven't tried the creams on board, I can tell the spring does feel scratchy, you reckon or does anyone has tried swapping the springs? maybe some sprit springs would fix this
Absolutely loving the new content man, keep it up
i think that this is one of the fewer switches that i would recommend a thicker lube for. The seller i bought the lube from accidentally sent me 205g2 instead of g0 (amogus) and the scratchiness is there, but not bad at all. The thicker lube also gives it a lower, thoccier sound. The bottom out is also really thoccy. Also, when broken in they sound and feel really smooth. I would also recommend thicker keycaps for a deeper sound.
I like how he just casually changes his shirt on the go in between cuts. Vehri naise.
Hey Hamaji, how did you do the background/transitions at 0:01? Is it after effects?
Greetings hamski, been consistent on the keyboard contents I see. Keep it up.
They sound and feel a million times better if you break them in first!! The sound is almost night and day, after two weeks of use compared to brand new switches!
You can't stop me from buying these for my first custom build
agreed. one mans opinion isnt gonna stray me away. Especially when hes comparing them to black ink v2s which are almost double the price aswell.
@@noskillant6168 I’m about to buy it right now can’t wait 😝
@@noskillant6168 black inks are $0.75 and nk creams are $0.65...
@@noskillant6168 black inks are cheaper by 10 dollars are you slow?
I always intended to get them since they were new.
Didn't end up bothering until 2020, and TBH I don't appreciate how much longer I had to wait after putting it off for so long due to stock/shipping etc. I could have just as easily settled for the Gateron Yellows and been perfectly happy.
I wouldn't consider them scratchy at all though. You really have to be pressing them a certain way to have that effect.
Once in a plate, pressed at speed they're smooth like buttah, sound great and have an ideal actuation force for my tastes.
Amazing, I spent COUNTLESS HOURS on all kinds of keeb shops, sites, discords whatever... And it took to this video for ANYONE to mention what the differences between the materials are... That's after 3 orders of different switches (Gateron Pro Silver V2, Choc Sunsets, Chocs key Tester), a split keyboard set and and and for my build. Thanks!
Well done on this video. I myself with creams thought they are amazing after a break-in. they take time to get perfect. The only thing is a lot of newer people are going to be getting these without understanding spring weights, scratchiness and sound.
being one of those new people, is there a switch that has similar sound to the novelkey creams excepts doesn't bottom out so low?
Harry Edmund Townsend ink blacks I guess
I have a question, do you lube your NK Creams before or after break in?
@@justinedzard lube all your switches except for creams break them in then lube them all the switches sound so good after lubing them
Great descriptive video
This channel became a keyboard review channel
kind of weird how this switchs is fully made out of a 'low friction' plastic but ended up being one of the scratchiest switches
I got an outemu blue keyboard a bit ago, these vids were really useful when looking for a keyboard that were decent for everything. These are really fun.
I have an outemu blue too, it feels good. What’s your kbs brand?
@@largevapor Motospeed
I can't help but notice how many times you change shirts.... LOL
i have some creams here since i collect switches for switch testers and stuff and my honest oppinion: they are not worth it. Can they be good? yeah probably. But they simply cant compete. This pom on pom is driving me insane. They are scratchy as hell stock. If you lube them, they feel like leather...sticky because you need to break them in FIRST before lubing... so you probably need another hotswap keyboard just to break them in and all of this hussle to go through... like why? Black inks are way smoother, work out of the box, no break in, you just lube them and you re done. And the Price difference is really small too. Or you could go with something like the Durock L7 Linears wich are even cheaper than creams and on par with smoothness with the inks and have ZERO wobble because of tighter housings compared to gateron. Only downside is that durocks are prelubed so you have to clean them first. but IF you want creams none the less: do yourself a favour and buy marketplace used creams so you dont need to break them in
Yeh, but what switch sounds like the creams plus the creams are unique to many other switches out there. Durock l7s aren't similar go creams and durock pom linear switches aren't like creams I own creams and poms I'm looking for alternatives to creams. Also, inks are way too heavy for some people including me. Creams and inks aren't alike at all so why compare.
I don't get why people like you don't have more subs anyways thanks for showing me the world of keyboards now that I watch you i realise how bad my keyboard is bad but hey a keyboard is a keyboard and you gotta love it even tho it can be bad anyways see ya in the other videos
You're pretty good at being a tech channel, you might've found your thing :)

Still like the vids tho
that tfue taeha build is why everything is impossible to find in stock including all budget build options. i remember when novel keys had stock for weeks in budget build options now you're lucky if you can even get on a list.
Why did you delete your hamajicraft videos?
It was a good replacement for me since you arent doing tf2 content anymore
He moved them to his second channel
I’m running these dry on my mode 80 it makes me smile they feel like them old keyboards I would use in middle school scratchy AF definitely need to be lubed
My lubed creams in the Ducky one three feels amazing. (coming from lubed browns in a Ducky one two)
In my opinion, POM switches get way smoother after at least two months’ use. I have been running Creams on my think65 for 6 months now and I have zero complaints about them at all.
but compared to things like c3 alpacas or inks. creams for sure not worth it
Alpacas are slightly overrated. The stems don't latch on the keycaps very well and I've had instances where caps fell off of the stem during transportation.
The Self lubrication is why Creams need to be broken in.
@@dar7279 if they're available on the spot I'd say they're worth it.
I wouldn't recommend waiting for restock over these though.
i kinda like the scratchy lubed NK switches they sound like two matt colour coated plastic rubbing together.
I wont lie I came from taeha type's vid and recently just bought my first batch of swtiches( KIWIS) I like the sound of the tactility and price is good
Hi hamaji i have a drop carina and as you know it has north facing LEDs i use it for gaming what profile keycaps would you recommend i put on it. I use it to play games if that helps thanks :)
1:30 while I think this gets the idea, this isn't right. For Zeal/Gateron, neither of their housings are made out of Polycarb, rather a mixture of plastics that are kept a secret. I'm actually not quite sure what cherry housings are made out of as those seem to be a secret too. Generally though, nylon is used for bottoms, and polycarb for tops.
this man makes me wanna start a business on just buying keyboards and stuff and everything else to test and use em
did you break them in for a month before making this reveiw because im curious as to wheather this effect will continue after being broken in for a month and lubed with krytox
This one is looks so good
does this sound thoccy or is it more clicky i’m looking for like just really thoccy switches and just don’t know what too use
İ never thought you would become a keyboard channel

thanks for filling me in
@@sj-st7et :D
i dont understand a thing but i love it
how do you make that typeracer show up transparent?? thats some insane editing
would love to see swithes made out of peek, it will be expensive but pretty interesting
I’ve been using my creams for about a month and a half. I actually thought I wasted my money on the first day. Although after a month of using it, it’s comparable to my turquoise tealios but it sounds way better than the tealios
They get quite a lot better. I dstill like something about the feel of the less used keys on my board, but it wasn't a welcome feeling for regular typing.
I just finished building my first custom keyboard 10 minutes ago with the creams and they feel really nice
they'll feel even nicer when you break them in
How nice it is now?
@@hvrst6241 yeah it’s still really smooth and responsive
I love ur content
Which Switch do you think are the highest quality and best?
What's the best available switch that you can compare to nixies?
after seeing so many negative things about NK creams I was hesitant - But I went ahead anyway and got myself some - I've been using Tealios for about 2 years - after some Lube - the Creams are easily my new FAVE switches - leagues and bounds above Tealios in sound and feel - I LOVE the spring in the Creams and the sound is second to none - they are not as smooth as the Tealios but sound and feel and typing satisfaction are on another level - Creams ROCK !!!
I don’t know anything about keyboards but you make these so entertaining
lmk if u wanna get into them ;)
Hamaji Neo I can’t get into them now cause I don’t have a job yet, I might wanna try in the future though
Gateron optical blacks are quite nice.
Hey Hamaji! I would recommend you to suggest some other (better) switches at the end of the video in the future. (The same for any other kind of review) And bc you didn't do that in the vid could you suggest some good linear switches here?
i'm not him but i have some recommendation for you
Durock Alpaca
Durock Silent Dolphin (if you are into silent switches)
Any Durock/JWK Linear
Gateron Black Ink
Gateron Yellow (Popular budget option)
@@adrestiaeagerton4069 Alpaca is where the good stuffs at
i am using cherry reds and i im thinkings to buy nv creams but i think lubing takes so much time and im scared off putting to much and stuff i like linear switches should i buy nv creams
After having my creams since before this video came out, never lubing them, they got significantly smoother over time, to the point i almost prefer them to Razer's optoelectric switches.
it got so scratchy when it is all new! what if i lubed them :c. any difference after long use?
@@xchclow Well lube also wears down over time and could leach into certain plastics. I don't think POM has this problem, but I did put switch films on mine and that tightened up the key travel enough to be bearable, and not wobbly, constantly scratching the sides.
@@LoverKittey 7 months later but im still considering buying novelkeys creams have you changed your opinion on them? Also do you think I need to lube them looks complicated and I don't want to screw anything up.
at 3:00 "pbt mounted" :thinking:
A lot going on here. More of a mini-lecture. Kool bits.
Only thing I disagree about here is the sound. But I guess that’s a personal preference thing. I think creams are 10/10 sound. Smoothness leaves something to be desired though. Built my keeb about a month ago, so hopefully with age they break in and get smoother
Have they broken in? Curious. I got some in an NK mystery switch bag, I typically run Zeal switches in my boards but figured I'd give these a try. They feel much "bouncier" than what I'm used to, maybe that's because I'm typically a tactile guy? They DO feel scratchy as well, did they "self lubricate"?
@@cardbored_ pm
If you really want smooth linears, just use optical or hall effect switches. Anything contactless blows lubed Tealios out of the water.
Optical switches are the worst thing created by humanity. Their wobble can't be fixed by putting a switch film between parts of the housing bevause their wobble is caused by the lack of pins, thus lack of any stability in the plate.
Ik it's really late but that profile pic is fireeeeee
personally i like the scratch noise
Why does my NK Creams doesn't have those problem with you guys ? I've been using it for 2 months and still no problem. Evrything is fine no "leathery" feel or whatsover and this hasn't been breaked in when I used it. Still creamy af
This guy’s a straight scientist
Can I put these switches on the asceny one with blue switches?
I am so confused i have a gk61 keyboard and can i just buy the novel cream and put them in there. Someone plz help
If it’s not the optical gk61, then yes, u can just put the creams
I actually like the scratchiness of the NK Creams
I love these keyboard videos I love how your so passionate about such a small community I also have a question
I’m trying to build a very nice custom keyboard for around 250$ can you tell me some good linear switches?
Gonna be testing out the gateron yellows soon but I’d always recommend gateron black inks :)
Gateron red inks are also awesome if you like a slightly lighter switch. I have a keyboard that supports optical switches so if you have a keyboard like mine, then the Gateron optical series are amazing and pretty smooth out the box, but can be improved significantly with lube!
Yeah I use a huntsman te rn which isn’t even a bad keyboard it’s just I like very heavy searches and the stableisers are very rattly
can't wait until hamaji learns to type with his pinky :)
I don't really care about scrathiness, so I am exited to try these out.
Hey I was wondering if you were going to continue the 10 stages of a tf2 mains or not
Sadly he quited tf2 ;-; i still watch him tho
I got mine from my novel keys mysteryswitch box so I'm not complaining
Would you say I should get gateron yellows or novelkey creams
can someone tell me the typing test website in this video ?
someone get this man a full blown custom
Sorry for being unrelated but what are type of the animated background? I've seen it in a lot of videos and it always caught me off guard.
idk If this helps, but if ur wondering how his background is moving. Its wallpaper engine (on steam) where u can have animated wallpapers
