Are These Minecraft Diamonds or Keyboard Switches?

Personal board.
This is the Kaze TKL and yes the Kaze is so lit. I decided to finally build my personal Kaze unit and used these switches that have such a fun new mold to them. The Avalon Diamond switches. They are pretty cool.
Also we had my friend Georen on the stream with us for this broadcast! / georen
They features a new stem and updated top enclosure on the switch housing. They really do look like diamonds and really remind me of Minecraft Diamonds, but in keyboard form. Overall they are pretty good, they sound great and feel even better, but they are not different enough to be absolutely game changing compared to other switches. They will take an extra minute or two to figure out orientation on how to reassemble them, but one of the benefits of these housings may be that you don't have to worry about north or south facing switch orientation anymore since the top is all symmetrical.

NOTE: Gingy informed me that they are NOT by TTC but a different manu! Sorry for the misinfo!

[@aregs3854]

Alex! Thank you for your amazing review! You are a most sparkling diamond in yourself!

[@schmosby9631]

15:17 that F13 sounds shenanigans

[@aminskeys]

I like how sounds the diamonds but when the envoy appears...that sound another lvl!!!

[@25MBs]

They don’t shine as bright as diamonds like you do Alex

[@alexotos]

You're too kind Q_Q

[@Redino20]

Gotem 😎

[@StillthatguyJake]

Keyboard bag for a weight on a light? What about using a deskmat bag and a piece of white paper to diffuse a light bar? lol Sometimes we get creative in the moment. That foam block is literally a go to! You get that cabinet delivered with a big flat sheet and you're like "Suckers! Free lighting mod!"

[@Nickii.o]

bro i just love how u smile when the board sounds good love your vids bro keep it up

[@CryoftheProphet]

wait what?

[@michaeleshel2498]

I love these collaborations!

[@samuelfresnel]

Great video as always! Where is your deskmat from?

[@kiniean]

I believe it’s the grovemade wool felt desk pad in white. But he doesn’t recommended it as it slides around a lot.

[@Marcobentiodee]

does anyone know what keycap set he has on his keyboard at the very start? looks really nice!

[@ynoter1]

what switches were on his envoy?

[@ภูมิภพรังษี-บ6ณ]

What's the switches on Mode envoy?

[@offbrandbiscuit]

Gingy getting referenced on an Alexotos stream... damn, brother's moving up in the world, proud of him ❤ dunno about these Avalon switches though haha, kinda wacky for no perceivable reason beyond aesthetics. Kinda cool though idk

[@alexotos]

Yeah i think its just another fun switch idea, with one minor benefit, but it's not crazy price wise and i think it's pretty neat ! Also love gingy

[@KuroRyuu86]

Are these Diamonds Linears? I am normally not a fan of Linears, but Dayum they sound really good.

[@lawrencetchen]

I mean all switches are already, but these in particular are ForbiddenCandy™ Kaze so lit but not as lit as Daddy Georen and Alex on the same stream

[@albertko1]

Are these using the newer TTC molds used in the Venus and Neptune?

[@perhapssabrina]

Georen sounds like Anthony Padilla to me 💀

[@leafyeon]

hit the f13 XD

[@faiqsyahbani]

Alex, what switches & plate do you use on your envoy?

[@Redino20]

Hey Alex! What board did you put your mixed lights on? :D

[@switchuppppp]

i think it’s on his mode envoy!

[@Redino20]

Oh yeah right! I forget that he has other colorways with him too. Thanks :D

[@getalper]

Hey Alex, do you think with the new Cherry switch announcement, the cloners will also come up with new shapes and ideas?

[@Alltorn-N56]

The MX2A switches by cherry are already out :D not much innovation sadly. The only real innovation is the new molds and barrel springs.

[@Danxph]

bro super random question but how do you route the cable for the iem without dragging it across the desk! thanks!

[@spaceriot23]

I'm pretty sure he got amp hanging below his desk

[@Jeshwannnn]

Kaze sooooooooo lit

[@schmoni2002]

Is the keyboard in De ISO in stock

[@Maeggs]

No

[@aftl_ryz8549]

The language itself is always set in your computer, so there is no kit in the world with german layout specifically, just iso, because it's the physical layout, while the language is a software thing

[@derekg2792]

lol wearing the fake key caps of t shirts again. i guess now that the mech keyboard bubble has deflated anything goes

[@browntubes]

ttc w

[@EastOfEden96]

[@Kphay2]
