"turboshit" is my new favorite way to describe something

I hope you realize how much money you could make by making asmr

I suddenly have an obsession with keyboards and key switches

*Top 10 MOST SILENT mechanical keyboard switches of all time* Membrane and silicone keyboarard.

Who would have thought the foldable keyboard would top any list on this channel. Just need a Top 10 Loudest Keyboard Switches video now. I bet something that isn't crap is very likely to top that list.

10 - Topre - 1:34 9 - Alps SKCM Cream & White damped - 2:11 8 - Matias Quiet Click - 2:48 7 - Matias Quiet Linear - 3:38 6 - Rubber Domes - 4:32 5 - Cherry MX Silent - 5:45 4 - ZealPC Zilent - 6:28 3 - Type-S Topre - 7:28 2 - Apple Scissor Switches - 8:45 1 - Sillicone Keyboard - 9:34

Sure the Fold 2000 has quiet key switches but the volume of your pain and agony cancels that out soooooooooooooooo

Is it just me, or does the typing noise on the fold-able keyboard at the end sound absolutely disgusting? "The breast implant" LOL

For those who want a quick reference: 10. Topre (regular) 9. Alps SKCM Cream Damped, Alps SKCM White Damped 8. Matias Quiet Click (tactile) 7. Matias Quiet Linear 6. Rubber domes (standard office keyboard) 5. Cherry MX Silent 4. ZealPC Zilent 3. Type-S Topre 2. Apple scissor switches 1. Foldable silicon keyboard (no separate switch).

What about the laser projection keyboard

The end of the video was rough

My favourite mechanical key switches in this video are the HP rubber domes, Apple scissor switches and the silicone keys.

Lord Chyros, we now need a top 10 LOUDEST keyswitches. I think "best sounding" and "loudest" may be far enough apart!

Why on earth are Matias' clicky switches called the "Tactile Pro" and the tactile switches "Quiet Click"??

Holy buttery smooth voice what the hell I did not expect this from a keyboard video

Great video! I've been using a silent Realforce 87U (variable weight) recently, and I found that lubing the stab slider inserts and the part where the stab wire clips in, remedies most of the rattle from the stabilised keys, and greatly improves the overall sound of the board.

First off, I'd like to say sorry that you had to go through that again. That breast implant still gives me nightmares to this day.

Ok this was hilarious and informative. Too many comparisons of mechanical keyboards leave out membrane and scissor switch options, so I'm glad you included those. Where would the Aliaz Silent switches fit in this lineup?

This is incredibly instructive. I went looking for a silent keyboard to use in conjunction with my laptop, which I can often hear in my podcast recordings, but now I'm certain my Acer laptop's keyboard is quieter than nearly all of these anyway! Thanks!

Having had to work for Years on one of those HP monsters, I applaud your diligence ..

I retrofitted my K95 with Zeal Zilent V2 switches. It took my about 6 hours and it cost soon much money but it was Well worth it. It previously had cherry brown switches.

I just installed some Gateron silent in my GMMK and they are far quieter than any rubber dome switch I've tried. In terms of silencing I'm extremely impressed, though the keyfeel isn't as nice as their unsilenced options (a bit more scratchiness). Also, the thing that gets me with the Apple keyboard is how you can hear the keycaps rattle when you take your fingers off of them. To some extent this is also true of Microsoft's Surface keyboard though it's a bit nicer.

"May whatever God you do or do not believe in have mercy on your sorry-ass soul..." - Chyrosran22 in reference to using a silicone keyboard.

been waiting for this series for quite a while

You are really good with your adjectives.

crazy to think how far keyboards have come over the last few years in pretty much all regards, honestly didnt expect to see that my keyboard is more silent than even the silicone one, since there isnt the noise of my fingers sticking to the keycaps, using akko penguins in a keychron v1 with cherry stabs and some aftermarket cherry profile keycaps. Silent keyboards have always interested me and im glad i got into it at this point in time because had i got into it a few years earlier my options would have been painfully limited..

I'm literally disgusted by that past board, it sound like a sweaty bodybuilder getting up off a leather mat. Bleh

To further silence the silicone keyboard, consider pouring some oil on it, sunflower or olive oil would do. Also you might consider adding some spagett to enhance the texture.

Recently modified my Topre Type Heaven with some lube, new pbt keycaps, hyperpheres and added some foam material inside for sound dampening. It's so good now, I can't stop typing :))

Great video! Number 3 was really nice and would be an easy pick if the space bar's noise wouldn't ruin it.

This was far more entertaining than I would have ever thought, great job!

Perfectly delivered pun at 7:50 Take all the likes you can get, you’ve earned them my friend.

I think we need a refresh of this video with so many new switches coming out

One of the best videos in recent memory👏🏻👏🏻

I put cheap lubes on some cherry red clones with O rings and that is silent enough for me. I am more of a clicky typer but it is also good to have a silent keyboard in case future roommate doesn't like clicky typing sound at night

Haven't I heard your voice on movie trailers? Also... your emphasis on the word "hideous" made me LOL!

I don't know why but you just completely Unloading on the top two keyboards was Really funny!

That foldable keyboard tho. Hilarious. I used to run barkeep duty at a community bar where we kept wrecking keyboards because people kept dunking beer over them. So one day someone brought in a silicone foldable keyboard because it's completely sealed. It was an awful keyboard, but it's served me very well there. Also, you should consider making ASMR videos. This was a very relaxing video to listen to.

Stabilized keys are Topre's biggest pitfall IME. With all the other work they put into silencing some of their boards you'd think they'd throw some lube on the stabilizers. When I got my 660C I was appalled at how loud the stabilized keys were, thankfully some Tribosys3204 on the stabilizers made them quiet down a huge amount.

I’m really starting to like silent switches. I use Niz switches and White damped alps and the thunk sound they make is really satisfying, and it won’t make my folks mad when I use my computer at night.

I've encountered another version of your #1 that was all a very matte, almost chalky feeling rubber. It was probably half as loud because your fingers don't stick to it at all.

My god your voice... Silky smooth

So much effort and quality into the video and so little appreciation

I have the Matias Quiet Click, and have used it pretty extensively. It's quite a lovely board but with some little annoyances. The localised layout I have has no menu key, it replaces it with a useless fn key that only gives access to a very very sparse media key layer (which I never use). This absolutely baffling decision from Matias made me realize how much I actually use the menu key, and how much it cuts into the workflow to have to pause and go for the mouse with one hand. Shift+f10 works passably I guess. I'd reprogram the key, but it doesn't register like regular input on any of the common mappers. The switches have a varying feel and smoothness depending on how high or low you hit a particular keycap. This isn't a huge deal, but didn't expect it. It seems to be a consequence of the Alps type switch design, since I tried a friend's vintage Alps Macintosh keyboard and it's keys also did bind slightly when pressing on the top portion of the caps. Otherwise the keyfeel is absolutely delicious. The sound is just about right I think. The shiny casement is a bit gaudy and is guaranteed to not wear well, that I would absolutely change if I had a choice in the matter.

Holy your voice is awesome

you gotta try a sidewinder x6, and absolutely definitely have a look inside. there's a reason they skyrocketed in price. the stiff, short stroke rubber dome sliders take some getting used to (unless you have strong hands), but they sound wonderfully deep and quiet, and easy to get hooked to. you don't wanna type a novel on it, but accidental key presses during gaming simply don't happen, unless it's your fault. it may also be the most complex and insanely over-engineered keyboard you ever popped open! the part ocunt is crazy, but it's still virtually 100% dust and spill-proof (the draining channels work like a charm), easy to open, and the entire upper half, including keycaps with sliders, 2 dials, and a row of media keys, can be washed under the shower (once a big soda spill starts to dry), dried and re-lubed with unprecedented ease. (mine has been in use for over 6 years of daily use, and is still alive) this is the one and only rubber dome slider over rmembrane keyboard, i dare call a mech.

You should get a Womier K66, or JUST ANY KEYBOARD MADE OUT OF ACRYLIC with some Zealios, and Gateron silent reds to test That type of Bassy Silence is Beautiful

Great video thanks!

ok so I know you stopped making these videos, but I would love to see a top 10 LOUDEST switches video.

your voice is more relaxing than the usual asmr that are out there 10/10

7:47 Silent treatment; I see that stealth pun.

So much class in this video. I laughed a brilliant amount and got the information I needed. I'll be going with Blue Zilents and pressing that big red button too!

I used that plastic looking foldable keyboard many years ago and it was indeed the quietest keyboard I ever used. But the problem was I hated the squishy, inconsistent feel of the keys. Looks like I'm better off going for membrane over mechanical.

it would be a cool idea to make this same video but with all the modern switches

I was sort of expecting Chyro to unplug that silicone thing and chuck it across the room at the end there.

I'm looking for suggestions: Iso layout, tactile, quiet, 50-60cn To be honest I'm not all that deep into the topic of mechanical keyboards but i like the feel since i type a lot and wanna get one for the office too. (open floorplan, so it should be the hushest of whispers lol) Bonus points for metal case and tkl

You speak with such casual professionalism that every time you swear it throws me off in the most surprisingly pleasant way - always makes me smile :)

Typing this comment using Logitech K380. Very quiet. I think it is quieter than 2010 15" MAcbook Pro's keyboard,. Thank you for this amazing keyboard related channel.

The next video you should do is in this series is the top 10 loudest switches of all time.

I think the best office membrane/rubber dome keyboard is the Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 v1. The keystrokes, the sound -- oh, and if you band-aid/medical tape mod the housing for the stabilizer bars, you can reduce what little rattling there is on the big keys!

I clicked so fast that the video still said "no views".

Another great roundup. Is there a mechanical keyboard that has stabilisers that aren't crap?

Forget the switches. Your voice is amazing.

The nine (Alps SKCM) has a nice and quiet sound, definitively it's my favorite.

ROTFLMAO!!! The "Breast Implant." Fucking Hilarious, mate. Thanks for the most informative keyboard reviews on the planet, and the laughs.

I laughed so hard when the #1 hit the table.

Then it's decided. I'll use a foldable keyboard coated in talcum powder! :P

lol I have had to use a Pink Silicone keyboard in my day. It was an extremely dusty environment, and we were almost always wearing chemical gloves covered in some kind of machine oil or grease, but trust me, I feel your hate for this. lol lol

That scene when Justin Long in Die Hard 4 rolls out a foldable keyboard to hack into something is still seared into my brain. In fact its one of the only things I remember about the movie, only because I cringed so hard.

HHKB Type S with silencing mat sounds so relaxing, an ASMR video about it would be cool

I know these are stock switches, but i'd argue that MX Zilents (cherry silent stems in zeal housings) lubed properly in a good case are even quieter than the breast implant. my case still has a bit of reverb, but other than the spacebar, you can't really hear it unless i'm typing VERY hard on the keys.

OMG. I wasn't expecting to laugh so hard. I needed that! Thank you.

Your voice is so calming 💕

The foldable silicon part had me dying lmao

Would have loved to see a top 10 of the LOUDEST switches you have.

Topre gave you the silent treatment? I see what you did there!

the silicone keyboard is so silent you can hear Thomas' internal screaming throughout the typing demo.

I have a suggestion. Keyboards from Logickeyboard. I have the EditShare/Lightworks version, though I think they are all the same. About as silent as the Apple ones, if not more. The spacebar does not have an issue with noise. And it actually doesn't feel bad typing on it.

It's a magnificent voice. Thanks for the music for my ears.

I am dying of laughter from that Topre Silent S spacebar lol. Product design failure.

I'd like to see some coverage of good scissor keyboards (I swear they're out there!) other than terrible applice chiclet & clones. Cherry Stream comes to mind? How does cherry ML stack up against these quiet switches?

A good line to introduce the last one would have been "While some people swear by the previous keyboard, our winner is only worth swearing _at._ It's the, ugh, folding silicone keyboard..."

Top 10 videos are the best!!!

"Of all the boards in this video, only three had a spacebar that wasn't loud as fuck" 😂😂😂

the topre-s with the mat sounds like a hitmarker in any fps.

the last 20 seconds are making me ROFL. awesome review!!

@Chyrosran22 So, would you say it's worth getting the Zeal silent over mx silents? or is it the same but 4x the price ?

The way you hate on the silicone keyboard made my day. Gotta leave a like for that last part!

The video is a masterpiece.

You completely missed the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Wireless Keyboard. This keyboard is better than Apple’s keyboard. I use it at work because I can simultaneously talk with clients as I type at 120+ wpm in nearly silence. It’s weakness is that it lasts only about 1 year because the plastic parts wear out quickly compared to a mechanical keyboard.

TOP 10 Loudest switches please me hope it is IBM buckling or something crazy like Kailh box navies or something.

“The breast implant” im done 😂😂

Were silent black switches not available at the time, or did they not make the list at all? Considering silent black vs red for my office keyboard.

I fell asleep 4 times listening to this! :D

Sun workstations, SPARC 10/20, had the best KBs ever made. You could type amazingly fast and they were completely silent. Nothing today even comes close.

I bet that silicone keyboard would be a lot quieter if it didn't have that plastic sleeve over it. I had a "Virtually Indestructible Keyboard" in the early 2000's, which was basically one of these, but it didn't have that plastic on it. About the best thing you can do with those keyboards is pick it up and slap someone with it.

Subbed for the voice, stayed for the content :)

where do you get all of your keyboards/ key switches????

When I was younger I actually used a silicon folding keyboard with my first computer

At first when I saw the HP rubber done board I thought “I hope Thomas washed his hands after he used that” and then when I saw the silicone abomination I thought “I REALLY hope he washed his hands after that.”
