Kailh BCP by Off Studio Review | Sound comparison with BSUN BCP

Kailh BCP, based on a frankenswitch called Black Cherry Pie, is a collaboration between Off Studio and Kailh, featuring new molds for a top and bottom housing that mimics its original sound and feel. Check out our thoughts about the switch and a sound test in this video.
We include a control keyboard sound test (Neo70, Aluminum plate, gasket mount, in an acoustically treated room) in every sound test video. This allows you to compare typing sounds across our sound tests. Sound tests are highly dependent on the environment, recording tools, and the playback device. However, we believe that differences in sound can be discerned between recordings.

The Kailh BCPs have a very nice “snap” to them. I feel like the BSUN BCPs have more of a “thud”. I may have to grab some of these

[@ScoopedBar]

out of the two I honestly prefer the Kailh ones better. The scratch gives it more of a character to me.

[@grantzu]

They should use that top housing mold to make cherry mx blacks that don’t need modding 👌

[@ScoopedBar]

Honestly that would be great

[@wayne0320]

Just ordered some, at least we don't need filming this one. Yeah, I'll lube very lightly on spring. Can't lose that scratch lol.

[@clayface1526]

Is it just me or do the BSUN BCP's sound a tad bit smoother. I think I hear a slight scratchy sound coming from Kailh BCP's or am I just hearing things

[@ScoopedBar]

Kailh BCPs are definitely scratchier!

[@DvineDragoon]

Sounds like it. But I like scratch though... :p

[@ScoopedBar]

@@DvineDragoonI like it as well, gives it some character!

[@quocanhhbui8271]

Kailh make the top housing intentionally scratchy, mimicking the cherry top housing.

[@ryanwatson4992]

Sounds like the bsun are a lot louder too. Is that the case?

[@ScoopedBar]

They are very slightly louder

[@cesarrestrepo5621]

I bought the BSUN a few weeks ago and absolutely hate them. They are factory lubed but sound like there is loose piece of metal in the switch. I bout the BSUN strawberry wines which were incredible so i thought these would be great but sadly I was very disappointed. Would love to try the Kailh version.

[@dashanyuan2403]

KBCP switch of the year

[@ScoopedBar]

Glad you like it! Have you had a chance to try it yourself?

[@BBNE4215]

What word/sentence that you typed on sound test?

[@ScoopedBar]

It’s monkey type!

[@seondotcom]

hopefully ur code for loobed works hehe cus i cant wait to get these AT A DISCOUNT

[@thoaivo7488]

pls don't use Neo70 for testing switches! this keyboard don't have difference sound!
