Lewis, you just hit me with an emotional damage when you said "Since 2000, and I wasn't even born yet". Any one here born in the 1990s?

[@Bloxwie]

no

[@coleydotmp4]

Akko's all the way. Plus the cheaper gat switches have this issue where the leaf will pop out when putting them into the hotswap sockets, then the switches wont register. It's really frustrating.

[@lauhernsean6179]

Please do a BUDGET JWK (black) vs EXPENSIVE JWK (alpaca, banana split?)

[@terrencepowersofficial]

This is super cool. I think this is a great way for us to look at whats best for the buck. I have used the Gateron Red's in the past and have lubbed them but they aren't that great for my use. I actually went from using Gateron Milky Yellows to Gazzew U4T Boba Switches 62G Tactlies in the past six months and haven't looked back. There's some perks into the weight and of course the way you either choose to lube and flim them is up to you.

proud of u lad

BUEN VIDEO PERO ME COSTO MUCHO ENTENDERLO creo que los rosa son mejores...GOOD VIDEO BUT IT TOOK ME A LOT TO UNDERSTAND I think pink ones are better

tbh u should try more of the ktt lineup i feel it is a very good contender to the akko cs switches

[@anumnum2012]

Yeah

[@LewisToh]

i'll look into it

[@failandimprove2159]

ktt are the manufacturers of the akko cs switches. so... they are basically the same thing

@@failandimprove2159 the springs are different but I'd say both have the benefit of quality on a budget

[@jowsey.mp4]

@@failandimprove2159 KTT has normal travel distance and diff housing I believe but they should be similar since price similar as well

[@aleclim7676]

radiant reds and rose reds have long pole and 3.5mm travel, which gets rid of north facing interference. I had some lavender purples that had the same long pole stem, but 4mm travel, it had north facing interference

[@moosoose4661]

Can you try jwick yellows/blacks or gateron yellow PROs.

[@whydoyouwanttoseemyname]

try some sp-star switches, I wanna know how you feel about them

[@khoinguyen-cc3mo]

Was abt to get rose reds but damn they are light, can’t use them in normal typing

[@KenWob]

This sort of budget is exactly why I'm here! Just got a few kits from CIY that included Gat switches, some Akko radiant reds and feker pandas. If it weren't for you I think I would've stayed looking bleary eyed at keyboards, instead I've spent 250 and have 3 to tinker with

[@nmptjpks]

Next one be like: Gat yellows $0.20 vs Gat Cap v2s Golden $0.40 xd Btw am really looking forward P.s. i would really love it if u streamed tmrw about the tes68 or smth

[@LewisToh]

close enough, gateron yellow is correct

[@nmptjpks]

Yoooo

What about the Akko cs jelly white vs akko cs vintage white

Nah the box design so maybe different sound

[@imbabo8295]

I dont think anything can beat gateron yellows in it's price range

[@jumpman2446]

People might call me a mad lad, but I use Gateron Reds on a Tofu60. I lubed, filmed, and Spring swapped the Gateron Reds, feels great to game and type.

can help me build cheap n good 75% or 60% KB? what will be you suggestions on buying

I know they're good, but could you give me an example of another swith that's about as good as a g pro yellow or a switch that I can compare to the g pro yellow. Thanks I advance!

the akko's almost have more of a 'ping'

[@anumnum2012]

Could you compare the Akko cs switches? I’m finding out if the radiant reds are better than vintage whites.

Radiant reds has heavier spring so less ping But other wise the linears are practically the same aside from spring weight obviously

If you like the feel and sound of Gat milky yellow, don't get these. They are very light and sound "high pitch" and louder I guess. I'm trying to exchange for the matcha green or the radiant red.

you should review gateron keyfirst creams. smoother clackier gateron yellow. they have the same stem tho.

Great series. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@dedelabinouze5110]

Saying the Akko is 0.22$ a piece is technically true. But remember that Akko makes us buy them by 90. When they fully know that the majority of us won't be using more than 70. 20$/70 = 0.28$. Still cheap, but not *that* cheap.

I have both and can say you can’t go wrong with either! The banana splits are gonna be a bit higher pitched and the spring feels just a touch lighter, while the alpacas are smoother when lubed. I switch between boards with the two switches.
