Thank you all for being just an incredibly helpful channel when it comes to keyboards. You're helping fill a gaping hole in the knowledge base in an honestly fun and easy-to-understand way. You're being more than just your product, but the message behind them as well and I respect that wholly. The Defy is on my list of eventual buys, once I save up enough for it. I've been using a Razer Tartarus for years now for gaming and program controls, and have been longing to convert to the full split, ortholinear experience. And with videos like this, I feel so much more confident in that decision and how to customize it.

wish this video was out when I was selecting my switch for my defy

I used kailh box whites for over 2 years at work XD 130wpm + tickets/emails to write/answer 🤣 Most hated agent BUT my supervisors got ued to it, and started to like the sound, because it was a proof that Iwork a lot with nearly no breaks. But this week my boba U4Ts arrived🤣

Well this is bloody great info. Already watched your other video about keycap profile and this is just as good! Thanks!

My Raise was equipped with "Cherry MX Brown" (silent, tactile, 55g actuation force) and "Kailh Choc Brown" (silent, tactile, 50g actuation force). These switches were selected when I had no idea there were so many options regarding the switches. I am a programmer (I type a lot daily) and a MWO player, so my Raise is used for both a lot of typing (typing, not racing on the keyboard to achieve high WPM speed for the sake of doing it) and hours of gaming. I prefer silent tactile switches with high actuation force, note that my typing style makes me press the key till the bump, never bottom it out. I love switches with a pronounced bump. That said, here is my current switch configuration; I replaced: * the "Cherry MX Brown" in my Raise with "Gazzew Boba U4 Silent Tactile Switch" with clear topping (68g actuation force). * the "Kailh Choc Brown" switched (the ones for T5..T8) were replaced with "Kailh Choc Heavy Burnt Orange Switches (70g actuation force)"

linears for all letters, tactile on others. perfect combination for me.

I do get higher wpm with linears. But I feel satisfied with typing on clickies

Thanks for your Great Expiations 😍

Need more beginners videos like which is the best hot swap keyboard to buy and how to use it etc

This was a very informative video! It helped explain what the numbers mean respective to actuation force in a way that makes it easy to understand). I currently have an MX-Blue based keyswitch keyboard it IT is KNOWN when I am typing 😂 I love the sound as well as the feedback (it definitely does take an EFFORT TO DEPRESS THE KEYS, but it's sooooooo worth it if you're a fast touch typist 😁). I supported the Dygma Defy campaign and ordered Khail Silent Browns as I wanted to be able to type and not have to be on mute while on (work) calls. I'm sure that I'll switch these out once I get a chance to hear how they sound and feel how they respond to fast typing.

The purple without palm pads is making me want it more and more. So much purple. 💜 Wish you showed some rgb color layouts with the different case colors. I’d like to see how they stand out and match with the different backgrounds The renders images look fantastic, but don’t show custom rgb usage

this was a great help.

Perfect timing! I was just about to order a raise next week!

Hey Dygmates! 🤘🏼 I'm a huge fan of your killer keyboard video content! 😍 As a keyboard noob, I've watched all your videos and I'm super excited for Defy to drop. 💻 I type for 8+ hours a day as a programmer, but I'm clueless when it comes to keyboard switches. 🤷🏻‍♂ My only previous experience is with the Magic Keyboard (RIP me, am I right?) 🤦🏻‍♂ Can you keyboard gurus give me a hand and recommend which switch to choose? 🙏🏼 I'm ready to level up my typing game and leave my Magic Keyboard days behind! 💪🏼 Thanks for all the amazing content, and keep up the awesome work! 🤘🏼 You guys are the real MVPs of the keyboard world! ⌨

First time keyboard builder here, I have a bit of a problem. I bought the Keychron V1 barebone knob kit from keychron along with some of their cherry profile double shot PBT key caps. The problem I am having is that all of the switches that I wanted to get were north facing rgb switch’s but the keyboard is a south facing rgb keyboard. I was hoping you could recommend some good tactile, south facing switch’s where i can feel the activation but still have a nice thoccc sound (so they sound like legos being built) and aren’t too loud. Thank you so much!

Very useful video. Will show this to anyone I introduce the hobby to in the future.

Hello! This video was extremely helpful in giving me a better understanding of all the different switch types. Im new to mechanical keyboards and I would appreciate some advice. Im looking for a switch that would offer a quick spring back (not sure if thats call feedback?). I will be using my keyboard mainly for typing and I type pretty quick so Im looking for something that will be responsive enough to keep up. I also like the "clicky" sound but not as loud as traditional blue switches. They seem to ping too much for my liking if that makes any sense. Hope you can give me some advice!

This vid is so informative I'm subscribing to the channel.

These keyboards look great! I’m loving the defy. I’ll be jumping all the way into split keyboards with it. So far I’ve used the MacBook Pro scissor switches and got used to them. Moved to the MX keys and liked those but I hated the mini because of tiny arrow keys and the full size for distant location to the arrow keys and home/end keys. I’m now in the Mx mechanical mini with low profile brown kailh switches. I honestly don’t care for these much because of the travel distance. They actuate early and at times I get many typos. Would you still recommend the silent browns with o-rings if I’d like to get back closer to the MacBook? I’ve been looking at those, the gaterons, and the speed switches both tactile and linear. I’m happy to use o-rings on any of them if they are compatible. Maybe I should try them on the keyboard now while I wait in the defy. Love the innovation in these products and the full customization. Will be a major learning curve but as a software developer I’d really like to use my little fingers less since I use the modifier keys SO much! Looked at all the split keyboard options and these are my favorite. If I was to settle on another it would be the glove but not sure about the finger well. Can’t swap switches either so it’s a very distant second to the defy! Thank you. You make these videos entertaining!

Learnt a lot

I bought the raise with Cherry MX Red and it really alleviate the pain from my RSI compared to membrane keyboards

is there a chart with all the info like travel distances, activation forces etc?

I don't know if I hate or love this girl's humor 😵‍💫

I really like the Dygma but with Opto mechanical switches and Lekker switches of the wooting can this board really hold up in gaming with a 1.1 actuation and no ability to mod in opto or lekkers? Does shape reign supreme even with older switches in gaming?

Hi Dygma team, what switch comes close to a MacBook M1 pro 2021 keyboard? Thanks.

HI newbie, which would be best for gaming, I am not bothered by clicking etc, and I can not afford to buy the wooting 60HE (looks great for gaming) but which switches would be best to build my first keyboard, looking at the keychron. Just not sure on switches, and does not need to be the newest kit. something reponsive for games like COD etc. and then easy to use for games like Anno 1800, Total War etc and emulator games like pac-man, mario kart - to some offie type work

How do I know which to get? I seriously have been typing on crappy laptop keyboards for years. My hands hurt and I’m aging. So I am looking to buy a better keyboard. Which do I get? I’m a teacher and often need to type during class.

6:53 A green version of your nice Aluminum plates has really captured my heart!

Which switches would be most similar to those on my razer tartarus?

You did not include the low profile and optical switches. The lighest switch is Keychron low profile optical switch white which has an operating force of 30, 1.1mm pre travel and 2.5mm travel.

Please don't mind me, just hesitating in between two switches for the Raise 2😂 4:59 7:18

Hello there, Hope you can help me!! I would like to get the Keychron K 10 UK iso with quiet switch with a slightly high activation force with tactility. Is this ppossioble? Would it work with thekeyswitch I'd like? Please I wo udl appreciate your help. Tahnks in advance.

can o-rings be used with box switches or any switch with a wall around the stem?

What's the latest on the ETA of the Defy? Anyone know?

Can anyone confirm that the Gateron Yellow 2.0 don't cause cherry interference with north facing keyboards?

How do buy switches that don't hurt fingertip due to hard bottom-out

When buying a switch, sellers usually don't show the close-up

I was a fan of linear. But noticed I tend to bottom out the keys. Looking for Silent tactile though for working at home, with very short travel

There are VERY loud linear switches...

Are u Filipino or am I tripping?

I miss the days when kids talked about drugs. Now I feel like a huge part of my typist life has always been hidden from me.

They should just stop making this video, and focus on delivering the products. All talk no product.

The title should have been "Which keyboard SWITCHES should you buy from us?", This is the worst keyboard channel with either misleading or no information.
