[@Joelhzy]

Welcome!

[@easystevan]

switch opener used was the Zwei series switch opener with Kailh compatibility on one side and cherry compatibility on the other

[@ghostydoc5660]

Which compatibility is for the ktt kang white? Like is the Kailh one or cherry one compatible with the ktt

[@easystevan]

[@Soulixian231]

@@ghostydoc5660 It is the Kailh style

[@jenzimibra]

@ghostydoc5660 Switches with 2 seals are Kailh, switches with 4 seals are MX

[@icebladesamurai]

What switch opener did you use?

[@yenahh6954]

I tried comparing lubed vs not lubed, lubed feels smooth, however it got heavy, i had to give a bit more strength to completely push it compared to the unlubbed one

[@Joelhzy]

Great insight!

[@bentstraw827]

the switch opener i have is too small what do i do

[@TheColby988]

how many drops of 105g0 should one apply for how many springs? Is there a general rule of thumb?

[@Joelhzy]

It really depends, I usually keep dropping and using my fingers to push the springs around in the bag till I see that it coats all the springs well before shaking the bag.

[@Dumbfakk]

Im guessing you have to to this more than once in your life (depending on how long you keep it ofc). So how often do you have to re-lube the keys? Im thinking about getting in to custom keyboards so im very new to this 😅

[@user-fj6ei3gp9t]

Unless you expose your switch to 200 degrees celcius , your fine 😅

[@Dumbfakk]

@@user-fj6ei3gp9t small chans of that happening xD

[@sillysausage71]

should i add switch film?will it sound any better

[@Joelhzy]

It certainly will!

[@ReachRN]

what switch opener did you use? trying to make sure I don't buy one that doesn't work. Thanks!

[@Joelhzy]

I got the Zwei series switch opener with Kailh compatibility on one side and cherry compatibility on the other

[@ReachRN]

@@Joelhzy thank you

[@sillysausage71]

@@Joelhzy for the ktt kang whites is it cherry or kailh?

[@mitsviski1262]

do i need kailh or cherry switch oper for this?

[@Joelhzy]

You will need a Kailh switch opener

[@helsinkioslo836]

I think you should also watch on how to upload a decent youtube resolution for your videos. 480p just ain't cutting it anymore.

[@Joelhzy]

Have u tried adjusting the resolution settings?

[@Joelhzy]

Anyways, thanks for the advise. Currently filming off an Iphone 12 and i dont have money to upgrade my recording set up, especially since youtube is just a side hobby.

[@MangoGalaxyYT]

​@@JoelhzyiPhone 12 is great, its your recording software

[@yenahh6954]

Does it have interference to cherry profiles if north facing?

[@MangoGalaxyYT]

That would depend on the pcb, not the switch (sometimes). Lubing does not change anything

[@MattOfficialOnYoutube]

Can I lube my springs with the 205g0?

[@Joelhzy]

Yes u sure can!

[@ShiftyKeys]

Yes, I put 205g0 on the springs of switches - works well, put a light coat and see how it feels before doing them all 😅

[@ucminh7559]

Hi, I have 2 questions: - Is this the V2 or V3 Kangwhite? Any differences? - Does Kangwhite sw solve the interference issue of Cherry profile?

[@Joelhzy]

Its a V3! For me personally i do not feel any interference with oem and cherry profiles but to be safe i wld recommend using other profile keycaps.

[@ucminh7559]

@@Joelhzy tks! However im a social content writer so cherry is the most comfort one for me so far. Tried XDA once but it's too slippery thus my acc. is quite low tho...

[@Joelhzy]

Understandable! Honestly kang white v3s work well with cherries so it shld be fine.

[@ucminh7559]

@@Joelhzy btw how's the v2s different from v3s do you happened to know?

[@Joelhzy]

@@ucminh7559 ah im sorry but I can't help you there as i have only tried the V3s.

[@seyraaa]

Can i use these switches ktt kang whites on any keyboard?

[@gachoxx]

Personally I don’t like lubing the top housing, I feel like there’s no actual benefit and it just adds more chance of overlubing the switch, however great explanation

[@Joelhzy]

Thank you:) I put a very small amount on the top housing, anyways if i do overlube, a few months in and it shld break in perfectly

[@Rznblur]

no es recomendable lubricar en el agujero porque puede dejar un sonido extraño!

[@fiftyphonkartist]

bruh where’s sound test
