What's wrong with browns? Literally just got my first mechanical keyboard that is hot-swappable and it has mx browns which I specifically picked for the tactility. I don't really notice the tactile bump is that why he hates them? I'd definitely be interested in some RGB mx purples in the future though. I'm sure if these sell out and people like them we'll end up seeing more produced, right?

[@Pastill-]

Hi silly question, new to keyboards; why is everyone im seeing buying 2 or 3 batches? I was planning on buying 1 but is that not good/ not enough?

[@debesys6306]

​@@Infimetit depends what size you want your keyboard! 36 switches (size of 1 pack) gives you 26 letters of the alphabet plus 10 symbols; a very small keyboard size that usually only crazy people use. count how many keys are on your normal keyboard to see how many you'll need for a mechanical keyboard that's your ideal size

[@Infimet]

@@debesys6306 ah that's really helpful, i didnt think about that, i just assumed it would be enough as if there is a universal amount haha, thanks for answering!

[@WagwanHabibi]

@@Infimet one order is only 36 switches which mean it can be used for 36 keycaps. For example my keyboard is a 60% keyboard with 61 keys so I’d need 61 switches to have 1 for each key (including space, enter, etc). Check your keyboard and see how many keys it has (usually part of the name such as mine being the Kemove dk61), then divide that by 36 and that’ll tell you how many you need (ex: 61 / 36 = 1.7 which is why i need 2 packs). Hope that helps, ik it’s a long winded answer but I’m bored n figured I’d give a thorough response lol

[@Rivek]

Don't ever quit you're my fav channel on KZbin! I ordered switches before getting 3 min into it. You got this, keep up the great work!

I remember finding you in like the summer of 2020, and sending a video or two to a friend of mine who was into keyboards. A few years later I found myself coming back on a regular basis and even building a keyboard of my own.

You're far and away the most entertaining keyboard KZbinr on the platform. The direction others have gone with, "I bought bad keyboard, and made it good" or "If you mod this keyboard is it better?" video are just a dime a dozen and get boring. Somehow you always have an idea, a bit, or a genuinely impressive idea like this that combines the two and is entertaining. You're the goat.

[@kadenhansen]

I bought two bags of these new switches in hopes that they will blow up in popularity. Being the 3500th (or something like that) person to hop on the purple band wagon, I hope to show my thanks to you. I also hope to use the switches in my new keyboard I got from Keychron a few weeks ago. I'm excited to see the difference between the mint switches I have now and the purple ones I just got. You brought me into the mechanical keyboard world. Now I'm going to support you in hopes that you continue to make me laugh. Thanks for what you do.

[@Infimet]

Hi silly question, new to keyboards; why is everyone im seeing buying 2 or 3 batches? I was planning on buying 1 but is that not good/ not enough?

[@stardeki]

⁠@@Infimetreselling or building multiple keyboards. lots of keyboard enthusiasts have multiple keyboards, primarily for the fun of building them, as well as finding one that works best for their typing needs.Also, 36 switches come per bag, while most keyboards have way more keys than that. a full-size keyboard needs 109 switches iirc. 60% need at least 61, 65% need 67-68, etc

[@callumwilcox4761]

Oh my days, I got a little teary towards the end there😂 Man I love this channel, the humour and its timing, the craziness, the homemade style of video, it’s all just amazing. I will be here till we one day see a keyboard case with a brass weight with the Glarses logo

I bought 3 bags as soon as the video came out and have been using them in a board regularly for the last 6 months or so. I really like the key feel, which indeed is medium (not as harsh as a panda variant in my opinion), and like a brown in the middle (instead of that light-switch feel). It's nice. But also I immediately thought they were REALLY scratchy. Like, even for Cherry. I have used reds previously which felt way smoother. You can hear them scrape. BUT, just as Glarses said in the video, they get better with use. After maybe 4 weeks my alphas feel very nice now. Compared to the less used / new ones it's night and day. Still not scratch free, but nice. If you are into retro switches & keyboards, chances are you will love these. For me, these are also less fatigueing than. Bsun Hutts are maybe my fav tactiles right now, but for longer typing sessions, I prefer the purples. Personal rating: 💜 As for the "these are just recolored ergo clears" debate - whatever. The purple is great and supporting a content creator this way (instead of say a sub) is fine by me.

[@blooper5li]

This has quickly turned into one of my favorite channels because of how much passion the Glarses Company has for the content they create. Bought 3 packs of switches for the 1800 layout I'm going to be working on after the holidays and, depending on how much I like them, I may buy a few more packs for later projects. Hopefully this extremely risky and incredibly ambitious idea pays off for the Glarses company so they can continue working on absolutely insane projects like this in the future.

Hi silly question, new to keyboards; why is everyone im seeing buying 2 or 3 batches? I was planning on buying 1 but is that not good/ not enough?

[@ImOnMy116]

@@InfimetNo judgment here! Each pack (at least from batch 1) contains 36 switches each. Even a 60% or 65% layout keyboard will require at least 2 packs to fill. No intention to talk down to you, but if you’re relatively newer to keyboards, I’d definitely make sure your current keyboard is hot swappable. It’s pretty common these days, but if your keyboard switches are soldered in, I suspect you don’t want to have to desolder / resolder to replace them with these MX purples. If you have any other questions or concerns, I’m happy to try to help!

[@Infimet]

@@ImOnMy116 oh okay! That makes sense, i just assumed that was enough haha! I've bought a hot swappable royal kludge rk68 keyboard with their brown switches, but i dont think it will be compatible with this, but thats fine - as this is limited edition, i'll buy these now as i can always get a cherry compatible keyboard in the future. Thanks for answering, you didnt talk down to me at all dont worry!

[@ImOnMy116]

​@@Infimet Based on my quick google, the RK68 would accept 5 pin cherry mx switches. It also has 68 keys, so you'd need two packs to fully replace all the switches. However, it does unfortunately have north facing LEDs, so you will probably run into interference when using switches with the standard 4mm travel distance and cherry profile keycaps. I'd suggest googling north facing led interference to learn more on this issue. I'd guess that keyboard comes with OEM profile keycaps, so you may not have any issues. Again, if you're new to the hobby, it's probably worth doing a little reading / video research on different keycap profiles. Best of luck!

[@CaveyMoth]

I was SO relieved that every switch was accounted for in the end. I feared that there would be a miscount somewhere along the way. The best way to get all of these switches packed quickly would be with automation. You would need a conveyer system with an optical sensor that counts how many switches go by, and then separates them into groups, sending them down a chute (or multiple chutes for greater throughput) into each bag. The bags could be sealed and replaced manually by human workers, or automatically. For QA, the bags could go along a final conveyer with a scale to ensure that there were no miscounts. Oh, wait
