Just a tip, based on how KZfaq 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. 👌

Will keep this in mind. Thanks!

Excellent overview, recap, and review. Love the production value and time put into the presentation as well. Thanks for checking out the Root Beer Floats and glad to hear you're really enjoying them!

any preferred method of lubing these switches ?

@Zefraxii Жыл бұрын

Love the crisp sound unlubed I think I might just lube the springs once my order comes in

Great video. Merkeebs! Cheers! 🎉 Btw which stabs do you prefer? Stabies or tx?

@shannonfernandes4178 11 ай бұрын

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

@sight7909 Жыл бұрын

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 Жыл бұрын

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.

@KEYBOARDMANIAC Жыл бұрын

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

@oriolinton 10 ай бұрын

I know these are your new favorite but do you prefer these or the baby kangaroos as far as the sound and feel profile is concerned

@blayses3116 Жыл бұрын

How do you compare the tactile strength to holy pandas?

@DarkTheHunter Жыл бұрын

Are they better stock than the Knc green jackets?

@Walkdthock Жыл бұрын

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 Жыл бұрын

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.

@Walkdthock Жыл бұрын

@@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?

@hainguyenthanh3308 Жыл бұрын

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 11 ай бұрын

interested in this as well , as the leaf ping is quite bad for my batch , and shroud mod is not working on em

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

@Merkeebs Жыл бұрын

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 😆

@aj4123 Жыл бұрын

@@Merkeebs I believe it is you haha but you should consider doing narration or voice over work man, you have a great voice for it.

alright

@jammies701 Жыл бұрын

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
