[@maxkade9133]

This is a HUGE effort, I can not express how useful this is!! Straight to the point, proper typing tests, you are a hero. I wonder how long it took to do this video from start to finish, all the tests, switches swap, recording and editing... Impressive.

[@ClickandThock]

Thanks mate, that's appreciated! :) Yeah, many, many, many hours and little sleeping! :P

[@JYoutubes10]

@@ClickandThock You're building an awesome database for people. One tip if you haven't started already, make sure to keep all your footage and organize it well! It will be super useful for comparisons in the future.

[@boomkruncher325zzshred5]

Wow, I can see why the Kailh box navy switches are popular. Crisp clicks, and a deep bassy undertone that combos really well.

[@ClickandThock]

Great clicky switches for sure! :)

[@feelshowdy]

I love BOX Navies, but I wouldn't call them "deep and bassy." It's slightly lower pitched than click jacket switches (e.g. MX Blue) + other clickbar switches with thinner clickbars (e.g. BOX White), but compared to stuff like Clickiez (click leaf) and Alps click leaf switches (e.g. SKCM Blue & SKCM Amber), BOX Navies are noticeably higher pitched.

[@fuzzynine]

Holy moly. Thank you for this video. I'm just upgraded from Jades to Navy and am so impressed by the sharpness of the tactility. But the pure sound curve and soud itself recorded with your Shure definetly gave me inspiration to try some different switches additionally. Thanks a thousand times, bro! Much love! Cheers!

[@ClickandThock]

Happy you liked it! Thank you! :)

[@cnrsz8435]

Which one do you recommend jades or navy ?

[@davemeech]

Man I'm now stuck between White Owls and Box Pinks, I'm going to have to listen to this a few hundred more times to eventually be able to decide!

[@ClickandThock]

They are both great!! But I personally prefer the White Owl! ;) Feel and sound deeper!

[@davemeech]

@@ClickandThock I think I'm leaning that way as well, tactility is also very much something I'm looking for, and the deeper sound is key too.

[@Lishtenbird]

White Owl, Arctic Fox, Jade, Sage were the standouts for me. Gaterons were mostly annoying, with nothing but click itself. Some light switches got real springy aftertaste. Not an expert definitely, but I do like clicky feel and sound a lot more than an average enthusiast. And dare I say, after having some regular clickies, getting tired of them and deciding to move to less "ambiently present" tactiles, those switches got me excited to try clickies out again.

[@Lishtenbird]

Under keycaps, White Owls actually sound springier. Is that because of the aluminum case? Will they behave differently in plastic? And Navy become more notable, with a deeper sound. Jade become pongier. Greetech just, uh. And Arctic Fox is like a fox clacking its claws across arctic ice... probably.

[@ClickandThock]

Ahah i should test the white owl in a plastic case! Never did.. but they actually are Springer. Arctic fox is really the one that stand out with Unique sound!

[@fuzzynine]

Hey, I'm a big Jade enthusiast but, yeah. You are absolutely right The Sage, the Arctic Fox and the White Owl are definetly kicking ass and also the Apes Time Kailh Box Bullet seems to by in my tear. And (but this is biased by some switch reviewers I've seen) the Yeal Clickiez are not for me. It's so sad that videos can't transport the feeling and tactility.

[@stobe187]

Arctic Foxes are excellent, have em on my Keychron Q6 and they sound so nice and crispy with cherry profile PBT keycaps..

[@Alto50]

A consistent keyboard/audio setup across so many switches and even multiple keycap comparisons... clean and concise presentation even including frequency signal. This video is so perfect I'm amazed it even exists. Monumental effort - thank you!

[@ClickandThock]

Wow thank you!! :)

[@mitsubeechan]

I love this video and I keep on replaying it. Not just because it gives so much detailed information about clicky switches, but because of the way the sound is really focused on the sound of the keys. I don’t know why, but it helps me sleep. Whenever I have trouble sleeping, I pull out this video and play it while I sleep. Been doing this for some months now. So, thank you for this.

[@ClickandThock]

Wow, that's so great to read!! I'm a fan of ASMR and though about making some asmr based videos sometime... Happy it helped! :) Thank you!!

[@J7T800]

The Arctic Fox and the Phoenix both have that vintage rattle to them. It doesn't even click, it "clocks."

[@ClickandThock]

[@braurio]

I wish someone would make a video like this including all of the force curves as well so you can get a sense of the tactility and heaviness

[@ClickandThock]

Man, always wanted to include those… But not every companies give accès to these curves info, so I don’t have the info for the most part of them, and I don’t have the material or expertise to make them myself… But if someone had them for every switches, I would be more than happy to include the curves in my videos!

[@Nickrii]

@@ClickandThock At least these are available for most of Kailh's switches and for the Clickiez, too. Which makes up like half of the line-up already. :D

[@Lishtenbird]

I've been trying to compile a list of those, and yes - very quickly it became a complete mess with all sort of sources: first-party promo materials, factory PDFs, scavenged third-party shop graphs, third-party review sites, people sharing plotly graphs... It's horrible. And yet sound alone can't explain you how a tactile/clicky switch will feel, so you need them.

[@Lishtenbird]

Though maybe ThereminGoat's force curve repository on GitHub could be one of the better consistent sources, there's a fair amount of switches there. Well, at the very least for personal use, unsure if they'll be up for collaborations with other creators.

[@feelshowdy]

Agree. The type of mechanism to produce the click (e.g. click jacket, click bar, click leaf) would accompany these force curves nicely as well. I can tell by sound which switch has which mechanism, but newcomers might struggle to tell them apart.

[@brooksrownd2275]

My "switch of choice" is Speed Bronze due to its light touch and crispness.

[@ClickandThock]

One of my go to clicky switch! :)

[@Imaltont]

Kailh really does make a lot of clicky switches. Hopefully they will start making some click leaf ones as well eventually. Would be good with some options for clickiez, which are really good, but having some less tactile options would be really nice. Nice video.

[@ClickandThock]

I agree with you! That would be fun to compare other click leaf switches! Maybe less tactile! Thanks!!

[@laffeybunn8557]

not gonna happen, zeal trademarked it.

[@Imaltont]

@@laffeybunn8557 Zeal probably trademarked the name, and they got a patent for the 3-in-1 thing where it could be clicky, tactile and linear in one design afaik. Click leaf, both with cherry stem and without, are much older than zeal, so that shouldn't really stop anyone from making more clicky or tactile click leaf switches because of prior art. Just can't have that little notch that lets you switch between the modes as easily or whatever part of it the patent covers.

[@laffeybunn8557]

@@Imaltont > Click leaf, both with cherry stem and without, are much older than zeal yes they litterally bought the moulds for alps switches. therefore they own them. therefore they trademarked them as their own after they made a modified version of them. the reason clickiez are so expensive is to soak the cost of the moulds + zeal tax

[@Imaltont]

@@laffeybunn8557 Others have produced click leaf switches before too, such as pro world and Matias. I don't see how that would stop anyone from making more click leaf switches, it is just the specific kind that Zeal patented. The reason it is expensive is probably more zeal + manufacturing of a very niche product. It is also the only click leaf with cherry stem in current production, so can get some extra price in exclusivity there. Matias switches are way cheaper, but without the compatability, real alps are much more expensive. I looked up their trademarks. They have trademarked the name "clickiez". They have patented "multi-mode mechanical keyboard switch", which very clearly states that it is the moving the click leaf around part that is exclusive to them. There is nothing I can find any documentation of that suggests no one else can make click leaf switches, they just can't call them "clickiez" and they can't have a "3-in-1" design similar to that of zeal. A fixed position/one position click leaf that is either clicky or only tactile, but not possible to do both in the same switch should not be a problem.

[@federicogiusti3975]

I have bought Gateron Blu Optical Ks-22 switches. Anyone know barebone plates/fully keyboard models compatible with such kind of switches??? (I konw only the keychron k8/pro optical model but now it is no more available on european market stores (country italy))??? Thanks a lot.

Sorry, never tried Gateron Optical switches and keyboards, so can't tell...

[@genblob]

Thanks for making this! I decided to get a custom board after getting sick of the rattly and pingy razer green and purple switches. I chose the box white V2 switches and they're fucking amazing! I never heard clicks so deep and satisfying come from a modern board until now!

[@marcelfournier4148]

Bravo, bravo. Quel travail pour assembler tous ces switches et faire l'enregistrement dans des conditions rigoureusement identiques. Le résultat est super et significatif. Reste à trouver un clavier qui corresponde au switch sélectionné, et, là c'est une autre affaire; à moins que de customiser son propre clavier. Les fabricants ne sont pas tous très loquace sur les qualités des switches qu'ils proposent. Parfois, ils proposent trois types de switches, mais, quand le clavier est en AZERTY, le switch proposé ne vous convient pas. Exemple, l'Asus Tuf Gaming K3 est proposé en Kailh Rouge, Marron et Bleu; mais, en France il est disponible en Marron. Quelle déception pour moi qui recherche absolument des switches Bleu Clicky. Bien sur, certains me diront :il faut l'acheter en Marron, puis, changer les switches car ils sont hotswapables, mais, la facture augmente et les marrons finiront dans un fond de tiroir. Par ailleurs, les vendeurs en magasin ont vite fais de vous classer dans 2 catégories "Gamer or Not Gamer". Je ne suis pas Gamer ou peut-être un gamer qui s'ignore, mais, je veux un clavier mécanique avec des switches qui vivent, qui parlent à mes doigts et à mes oreilles. Encore merci pour votre vidéo.

[@ClickandThock]

Parfaitement d'accord avec vous Marcel! Très difficile de s'y retrouver... Mais je crois qu'avec le temps nous pouvons nous faire une idée de ce que nous cherchons sans se soucier de ce que les vendeurs pourront dire... Merci pour vos beaux mots! :)

Perhaps an extremely stupid question, as I am new to such things, but here goes... I have a set of keycaps I love, but they are MX compatible. How do I determine which non-MX switches will still work well with MX compatible caps?

[@ClickandThock]

hum not sure to understand.. If your keycaps are mx compatible, they will fit on all of these switches and any regular switches! The only non mx compatible keycaps are rubber domes keyboards keycaps (non mechanical), some logitech keyboards that use other type of switches and Mattias keyboards that use Alps compatible keycaps... Hope it help...

I could be wrong, but I believe Cherry MX whites are tactile but not clicky. I believe the "clears" which look white, are the clicky ones. I bought Whites and they were basically heavier browns....???

[@ClickandThock]

officially, the white are known as clicky switches (even if they sound more tactile than clicky). The click is present but really muted... We could call that a silent clicky because we still get some click noise.You could check here: switchandclick.com/cherry-mx-guide/ Thanks for your comment! :)

I was looking for the heaviest, clickiest switch I could find so on weight the Navy wins out over the Jade (they are way ahead of the rest on dB's). I hope there will be even heavier/clickier switches to come (it's always fun to put a clicky switch under the Esc key). 😁

I like cherry mx blue and I want to find some alternates Can I ask which switch is similar to cherry mx blue for sound and feeling?

[@ClickandThock]

The most similar switches similar in feels to mx blues are Pro Light Green, Speed Gold and Gateron blue! But if you want something similar but more premium and better, INK Blue!

Which is the thocky clicky in your opinion my friend? and which is the most quite clicky? Thank you mate

[@ClickandThock]

Humm good question, I have not tested a really thocky clicky switch so far... Should test a long pole stem in a POM clicky switch! :o

Niektórzy użytkownicy mogą uznać klawiaturę Dreamkey TKL z przełącznikami White Kailh Box za nieco hałaśliwą, zwłaszcza podczas szybkiego pisania.

[@ClickandThock]

I personally love the sound of it!

[@jetowl57]

Outstanding. Which ones give more feedback to your fingers?

[@ClickandThock]

The most tactile are the Jade, Bullet, Clickiez! Thank you!

[@SPNG]

Great video! I recently built my first custom keyboard with a Zuoya GMK67 and some Ajazz Banana switches. It's been great but I've been craving some clicky switches on the cheap and this is really helping me narrow it down. So far I like the sound of the Kailh BOX White V2's, how is the tactility? I personally prefer sharp and highly tactile feedback but I'm not entirely sure if those will deliver.

[@ClickandThock]

BOX White V2 is a sweet spot for me! Not as tactile as Jade or Bullet though...

[@BrankoPetijevic-oz3it]

is box navy too heavy for typing?

[@ClickandThock]

Not at all! That depend on your preferences... Some do not like heavy switches and some really like them... I personally think Navies are great typing switches!

[@kornaros96]

Unfortunately the keyboard is the letdown. Get one with lot of reverberation and undampened.

[@ClickandThock]

I think it a matter of preference! But for sure, a more roomy case is great for clicky switches, specially vintage ones. But the goal of this video is not to find the best case/clicky switches sound, but to be able to compare them with the same gear. I think that the tofu is a really mainstream case that a lot of people can rely on. But for sure there are better case for better sound out there!

[@LittleMew133]

[@demon6937]

I find it hard to find kailh white owl is this switch new? I do find some of other switches are on a similar sound

[@ClickandThock]

Similar to other click bar switches for sure, but thocky housing + great bump + spring weight make it a really balance and great sounding switch IMO!

[@Big0rder]

3:16 mx blue 3:45 box white 5:15 clickiez 5:29 box jade 7:05 arctic fox

Cherry Blue's with DSA keycaps are God tier, f the haters

[@ClickandThock]

I'm not a fan of DSA, but I really enjoy using Cherry MX Blue!

[@KujoTenshi]

Im looking to get into the space. I wasnt thinking keycaps made that much difference in sound; Ive been unimpressed with gateron for the last two, but Ive been very impressed with gaterons on the maxkey

[@ClickandThock]

Keycaps is one of the factor that change sound the most! And Maxkeys SA sure sounds great!

[@nicholash8021]

Just look at that whole right arm move to hit the backspace key. I am seriously thinking of starting a new company to change the industry standard and bring back split spacebars.

[@ClickandThock]

lol Never tried split space bar, I really should!

[@nicholash8021]

@@ClickandThock Nowadays, your best bet is only in the split or ergonomic keyboards like the KeyChron Q10 but you'll be giving up the TKL home keys and will have to learn other shortcuts (which is doable, but a learning curve).

[@LitlRage]

Which one is the most loudest?

[@ClickandThock]

From memory the Jade is hard to beat.

[@romeozor]

[@dohnuts4405]

I gave tactile switches a try and they just aren't for me. I just love clicky. I haven't found anything I like better than box jades but I'm going to give Zeal Clickiez 40g a try.

[@ClickandThock]

Clickies are soo satisfying!

[@godofchaoskhorne5043]

If you're looking for something lighter than the Jades. The closest switch would be the pink / crystal pink box khails. No other brand feels like Khail's box switches. It took me a while to adjust back to other switches, I was done with clicky switches but the stability of Khails box switches was so insanely good no other switch came even close. Khails has zero wobble. I wish there was a gateron black / yellow with the sturdy khail box but smoothness of gateron. Preferably factory lubed because lubing is the worst part of linears

@@ClickandThock no, thank YOU sir! I have made up my mind to try the Arctic Fox next, thanks to your informative video

[@Malficion]

That's nuts! Even if you only had to swap the Alpha+Spc+Ent that's still over 30 boards.

[@ClickandThock]

Yeah, a lot, a lot of time… 😅😅

[@qwertyuiop32935]

So far the only ones that appeal to me are the Zeal Clickiez, but I’m biased as I consider cherry profile switches to be all too similar. Now, if someone manufactured reliable Omron B3G-S, I’d be stoked!

[@ClickandThock]

Yeah! Love the B3G-S! I have a bunch but 60% of them are dead… 😅

[@kampret43]

When the linier switch round up will came out

[@ClickandThock]

Few weeks, sorry for the delay, I had to sound test all the linear switches I had here, maybe 4 videos to go and after I will be able to work on this ultimate compilation (it will be HUGE)..

unreal video. thanks for making this. Such an incredible amount of work. Holy moley. The only thing i'd like to see would be the forces to go along with each switch.

[@ClickandThock]

My pleasure, thanks to you! :) Yes looking to add this!

[@hostsofmichael]

@@ClickandThock As someone who was researching which switches to narrow down for my next keyboard, seeing the weight would have been so helpful since I knew weight range I was thinking about. But again, your videos are great and have a really good presentation.

[@viciousslayer]

you should honestly include unlubled box royals because they get a super distinct click

[@ClickandThock]

Never try these, so unlubed they become clicky?

[@viciousslayer]

@@ClickandThock its an issue with tactile kailh boxes. Once the lube on the actuating pin wears off they make a very distinct click sound

[@vZenitsuv]

7:12 is my favorite sound
