Love this, but what keyboards can I use them on? Sorry im a total noob!

Vertex V1 is not in the list

What keyboard is that ?

Would love to see top creamy switches

I recommend Vertex V1 switches

I can't tell the difference between thock and clack in this vid THEY SOUND THE SAME😭

What lube do you reccomend for these switches?

U gotta try the MMD creams

Milky yellows are the answer, least expensive for a really top tier switch imo

0:06 0:11 they sounded so close 😞 01:07 TTC Venus 01:12 TTC Neptune 01:59 Gateron Milky Yellow Pro 02:58 Wuque Studio WS Morandi 04:29 Gazzew U4T - In case anyone wants to jump back and forth instantly to compare. The WS Morandi sound lowest/deepest.

I bought a set of aqua kings and I might have just gotten a bad batch but about half of them had a horrific high-register scratchiness that was seemingly unfixable, they do feel really smooth though.

Would you agree that the akko penguins are also decent enough for (slightly) competitive gaming? I'm kinda contemplating on getting them because I share a room with other people.

1:40 the THOCC won't STOP nor will the wobbliness.

Its been said before and I gotta say it again, morandis have lots of stem wobble even with films

I just bought bluish whites and it just delivered yesterday wth

I was not a fan of the aqua kings at all. They are so incredibly muddy and I didnt get too much "thock" from them at all. The quinns tho, idk how they didn't make the list. Have been my go-to since I found them

Another fantastic video!

Considering the relatively recent invention of Hall Effect Magnetic Switches, I'd say that keyboard switches are definitely technology, to an extent.

Do the Venus/Neptune switches sound thin or no?

wow nice video!

I really want to find a switch with really pronounced tactility. I'm currently running baby kangaroos and I love them but I notice if I'm not constantly comparing to a linear I lose the tactility. I want something that constantly reminds me It's tactile.

I'd also suggest the Vertex V1, similar sound to the TTC Venus but deeper

@Milktooth are there Thocky and clicky switches out there? Would be good to see a video on your favourites or ecommendations for those

Are your Invyr Holy Panda any different than those on DROP? The ones I bought from Drop all had spring ping.

Didnt the plastic on the u4ts change recently. Theyre not as deep anymore

Heavy Tactile request. I stayed 7 years on Cherry MX Greens. Now, anything light, especially light linears feel like my fingers are hammering on the keyboard. I realized I'm tactile gang and I have to go heavy.

I went from akko matcha green to ttc venus and i'm so glad I did this purchase, they sound and feel great.

How would these compare to the wisteria switches? Id love to see a video like this comparing cream thock and clack. Can we expect video’s like this for top 5 creamy and clacky aswell?

Sorry for the long-ass comment, I'm bored and opinionated today :) I prefer a deeper sound profile, without deferring to over-foaming my boards (particularly PE foam), especially since I often appreciate the subtle differences between switches. That said, I've tried every single one of [the linear] switches named in this video and have sharply contrasting opinions lol. Disclaimer: as with all things, how your switches sound is A) highly subjective, B) depends on your actual auditory anatomy, and C) can change drastically depending on the board you put them in, the materials used (plate, etc), the presence or absence of foams and other modifiers, the keycaps mounted, the use of and/or type of deskmat, and many other factors. My #1 recommendation when people ask me what kind of switch they should buy is to pleeeease buy as many 10-packs of switches as you possibly can, and to do it often. Then try them in as many boards as you can, with as many different plates as you can. You'll come to find that there's no "one best switch" - you might prefer a certain switch in one keyboard and absolutely hate that same switch in the next. Arm yourself with experience and knowledge! That said, here's my thoughts on the switches our friend Milktooth has shown us today, as well as a few of my faves down below: NEPTUNE/VENUS - deep sound, smooth feel, very little wobble, but to me the bottom-out felt a little weird and I ended up not particularly liking them, at least on the two boards I tried. I liked the sound profile well enough that I'm sure I'll come back to them again in the future and try them out in different boards MILKY YELLOW PRO - great budget switch, medium-low sound profile, decently smooth. Def recommend but really only for the strictest budgets since there's better if your budget opens up a bit. Top 10 for me when you include price into the deciding factor though SMOOTHIES - amazing switches at an impressively mid-tier price point. They're smooth enough with Gateron's newly upgraded lubing method. The spring is lightweight but super snappy, and they are definitely one of the lower-pitched switches I've tried. Probably a top-10 switch for me, though probably only if I swap the springs MORANDIS - I cannot say enough about how overhyped these are. They don't feel quite as smooth as you'd expect, have issues with stem wobble, and the top-out is pretty clacky. These are mid-toned at best and I would never consider these a "deep" or "thocky" switch. Tbh you can do better with your money, I wish I could get mine back GAZZEW LTs - Just ew. Did not like. At all. Pretty clacky and not ultra smooth or anything. Mid-tier. Nothing to write home about, won't buy again AQUA KINGS - I did like these "okay"-ish, though I didn't really find them to be worth the price. They're decently deep/low-pitched, but not the deepest by far. Their smoothness is seriously odd to experience, but not in a bad way. They definitely feel different than most switches, I just couldn't really tell you how. Maybe a top-10 switch for me? So, maybe two/three of these actually even come close to my top-10 favorites, but I can name three right off the bat in use in my boards right now which I like better than any of those listed here. Vertex V1s, Keebhut x Aflion Tropical Waters 2, and UHMWPE COWs. In fairness, the cows come unlubed so you have to hand-lube them, which could contribute to their relative superiority in my rankings since most hand-lube jobs are better than factory. Also, the TWv2 are discontinued, though they've hinted they may be working on a v3. As a bonus, I'll say that the Aflion Cloudy & Windy Shadows are some of the best I've tried recently. They have a very loud sound signature that I can best describe as the deepest clack you'll ever hear. Not thocky, but not exactly clacky either. Nice and snappy typing feel, and Aflion's above-average factory lube to top them off! Def some of my new faves (hint: try the heavier Cloudy Shadows in your spacebar :)

This video really helped so many people and me thank you (even though I’m gonna build a wooing but with the dash switches from your company)

Heya Kev! Can you do a video of Top 5/10 Hyper-Tactile switches?

SO TTC Venus/Neptune for Linear switched with the least stem wobble and most smoothness?

I was surprised you didn't mention the vertex v1 switches, I've been using them for a few months now and they are really great and thocky. The only downside is that they don't let any rgb through, but I don't mind that too much

The venus switches look tight

At first i really like thock. Then pe foam comes around and everything is thock and it's getting boring. Then i went for claky-er sounding switch. But now after all of that. I still return to thock. We can never escapes... Good video ❤

might want to cover the ws pom+ switches they are really deep and bassy when bottom out, but because they are light, the topout is marbly and higher pitched

Have you had any experience with the durock ice king tactiles? If so how do they compare in deepness to the switches shown in the video?

This title has 2 different meanings.

I keep finding reviews of affordable switches that say things like, "In this price range,", and "For the money...", etc.; yet I can't seem to find one that actually says what more expensive options they're implicitly being compared to. For someone new to mechanical keyboards like myself, I'm completely lost as to what a more premium version of a creamy, tactile switch would be.

your case pings like a mf, put some foam and tape in that case bruh

I just want to say thankyou for these videos helps more then you could imagine , also would like to thank you for your website its got just about any switch you could ever want or need and the layout of the website is amazing for someone like me ( very new to the mechanical keyboard world ) you even have categories of switches like " thocky , creamy , clacky " etc etc. I truly just wanted you to know how helpful you and your website are thank you !!!!

I got the Outemu Lime silent switches from milk tooth and love it. It is ULTRA LIGHT TACTILE (35gf), very easy on fingers for all day use. Milk tooth are the only one doing these type of awesome switches education and demo. This helped me pick the better switches. Please make more videos and carry more brands. I am looking for Ultra Light Tactile switches that are thocky, prelubed, and smooth.

Is it just me or they all sound the exact same

So what switch would I get for a “creamy” sound , also board recommendations are also appreciated

aqua kings vs oil kings? which one should i get?

Just typing sounds~ Kalih Plum 0:48 Kalih Box Royal 1:40 KTT Matcha 2:41 TTC Silent Bluish White 3:35 Gateron Baby Kangaroo 4:26

Its my first time giving this hobby a try thank you for the straight forward video, this is exacly what I was looking for when I started searching for the best switches I could afford.

swk switches is also really smooth aswell

Awesome video - really helpful. Appreciated. Below are my faves. Adding the timestamps so I can listen back and forth between them. Jerzzi Honey Bean 6:50 Akko Penguin 7:15 Akko Fairy 7:20 Gazzew U4 7:40 TTC Silent Frozen 7:45
