i was sure that number 1 was the real gmk and liked that the most, suprised to find out it was the clone

when listening to the sound I actually decided I liked 1 and 3 and was not a fan of 2. Surprised to see that 2 was GMK, guess it's all down to preference

This convinced me that GMKs are more overpriced than I thought they were.

There's no arguing GMK has the sharpest legends by far and the designs are cool, but I'm yet to find a real convincing argument to justify their insane price range and piss poor packaging, especially given the amount of competition that's out there right now. At the end of the day, their thickness is not uncommon, the "rough" texture isn't unique in any way (and it's gonna fade out sooner than any decent PBT set) so I'd say they're only good if you want to support the designers, or if you care about the specific sound signature. All fair if you're balls deep into the hobby, but I'd never suggest anyone on a budget to save up for GMK, since for a daily driver in-stock PBT is most certainly gonna be the more appealing option for most people. Just my two cents though, good vid regardless (P.S: how do these GMK knockoffs sound so good??)

What a bad take. GMK go shiny like all other ABS keycaps. Nobody wants keycaps covered in oils from your hands. Why wait sometimes over a year for a keycap set which you can get half the price and in a couple weeks?

All this did was cement my opinion that they are 100% not worth it lmao

I feel bad for the designers but I like to buy clones because 1) I just want the colorway ok I don't wanna pay a lot of money AND wait 9 months for a GB and 2) I'm gonna be using it, it's a part of my build not a long term investment

I kinda wish that gmk would resort to using pbt as one of the materials bcs i don't really like the sound of abs tbh

That's funny, but in the blind test real GMK had worst sound imo😅

Based on this video, I'm even more convinced that GMK is not worth it if just for the feel and sound. The difference in feel and sound does not equate to the sharp difference in price for me. However, buying GMK as a collector or trader (like collecting rare Pokemon cards) is another thing altogether. For a normal mech keyboard user, don't think the price is worth it.

The real problem with GMK is the seemingly "monopoly" on designers. There are just by FAR more designers working with GMK than any other manu, which is understandable because GMK has proven track record of quality. And GMK knows this very well. So they have absolutely no problem taking everyone's money and taking on GB orders and sticking them at the end of a 2-year backlog because "mah shortages".

I actually like number 1 over 2 and 3.

I honestly liked the sounds of Option 1 and 3, but didn't like Option 2 that much. I was honestly surprised with the results! I already knew I wasn't getting authentic GMK caps, but it was interesting to have your point of view on this! Keep up the vids!

honestly, i liked the akko caps the most for the soundtest! though to be honest the sound difference between it and the real GMKs arent all too different. imo the price is just a little ridiculous since its just so similar to existing products at a fraction of the price, and tbh as someone who daily drives a PBT set [less than 50 sgd for a full set & accessory keys],, i think they work just as well

yeah , Lewis I have to say , seeing you progress as a youtuber is fun to watch , editing skills are getting better and the execution on this video was very nice . I didn't hear any difference in the sound test tho :D
