Hi everyone, today I’ll be looking at the Cream + Switches from NovelKeys. These are a unique switch which uses different inserts to change how it sounds.
Are these a gimmick, or the future of switches? Let’s find out.
Follow me on Insta! (this one is a work in progress):

My FOMO left when I realized that even cheap keyboards can be modded to feel nice to type on

I feel NK has just been milking Creams dry to this day. Just looking for any gimmick they can attach their cream name on it and profit off of it.

That’s been 95% of the MX clone market, especially the endless linears with the most minute variation in spring rate or “sound” optimizations.

Also I definitely feel these need to be lubed. The prices I think are due to the new stem mold for the inserts. I also loved copper most! But it is definitely a time consuming thing. I wish they could sell them already with the inserts applied. But maybe that’s something for the future!

100%, the innovative is definitely appreciated here. I like that idea too, selling prebuilt kits of inserts. Cheers for the comment, and keep up the great work, I’m a big fan haha

A little advice give references for the sound and the smoothness of the switch. By that I mean compare it to other switches in like stem wobble and stuff. These vids are amazing and i just want to see you bring them to the next level.

Is the entire hobby driven by groupbuys and FOMO? maybe I deal with FOMO or just don’t have money, but I’ve built 3 decent keyboards without having joined a groupbuy I wrote this out before I realized I’m an idiot because my extremely specific layout needs that only a few PCBs I’ve ever seen fulfill. I guess it’s easier to not buy things when you don’t have the features you know you need. Still haven’t joined any GBs for anything else, but gotten close for sure on Frost Witch R2 & Spellbook (if that was ever a GB, can’t remember) Still though, lots more in-stock options recently! That’s at least nice Nice vid

Cheers! Yeah it feels like recently in-stock options are becoming more frequent. The Arc 60 being a pretty good example of a high quality board without the long wait time. However I think its naturally just part of the hobby being built on the back of many small creators. Not everyone has the revenue to fund their entire project up front, larger companies like QK and Mode might have that luxury but even then with the fast paced nature of the hobby it can be hard to tell if an in-stock item will stay that way. Ideally this wouldn't be the case but FOMO (even perceived fomo) can play a large part in decision making. That's why I'd like to further advocate second-hand purchasing. I've found some amazing items, like the u80-a for instance, through second hand markets. Just my opinion however, I could definitely improve with FOMO purchases. I guess creating this video in a way is a small step towards that realisation. Appreciate your continued support!

the only one I found tolerable was the copper insert all the other versions sounded squeaky and just unpleasant to my ear

Yeah I believe the copper really takes its place over the alternatives here, once lubed I found it to be an appealing switch

I was really disappointed in the stem wobble as well, it just feels cheap :( i went with the titanium insert and haven't used them yet, other switches just seem to be made a lot better, i recently purchased the Durock black lotus and the tolerance on that switch is insanely good, it feels like a premium switch, i may not even use the nk cream+ and just give them to a friend or family member the idea itself is awesome and ground breaking, but the switch itself feels cheap currently, i hope they update the housing tolerances
@dill-keebs
@dill-keebs Жыл бұрын
Yeah, it would be nice to see NovelKeys improve their design. I say give the titanium inserts a shot and lube them to see if you find the improvement worth it. But yeah I’m underwhelmed so far
@drew765
@drew765 Жыл бұрын
Initially I agreed. I tried these switches on an aluminum plate and they were very pingy. But I tried them again on a PC plate and I really like them now. I do agree that the tolerances are not as good as some other premium switches. How do you like the black lotus switches. I have found that one out of every three to five switches have leaf ticking even after lubing.

I cant say the insert idea will take off but I love seeing cool in innovations like this to keep pushing the envelop, long pole pc nylon and pom is getting boring (also I really dont understand why novelkeys switches get so popular, idk what manu they use but they are always shit)
