This wasn’t explained enough, the labels show one keyboard, so I’m assuming it shows what keyboard they’re using in every clip, but it doesn’t show what keyboard they’re comparing to, so there’s no real context

James Russo I have both MX Brown and the infamous well praised Zealios V2. In terms of tactile they actually feel really different. Zealios is “more tactile” than Browns, but that doesn’t make it a “bad switch”. That’s how I feel at least. Sure they might not be “true tactile” but def not as bad as people complained. I had way worse experience on other switches lol

Asking a question like: "what's the best switch" will bring in trolls. And there is no such thing as a best switch either. Ask more specific questions, or narrow it down to two switches (tangerines vs alpacas for example) and then people will give you different aspects of each switch and tell you which one they prefer.

There are so many switches out there that outclass Cherry in all categories. If you were to put me in the same blind test I would be able to tell which one is Cherry and which one is Gateron for example. They are just that scratchy. I even made a sound test of Gateron Browns and even those are a lot smoother feeling than Cherry Browns lol.

I now understand the editing! It's not in chronological order. Every time someone is talking about a keyboard, they're talking about the one on screen. But there's no way to know what they're comparing against, so having on screen names for these switches would've been a lot of effort, but really appreciated. Most importantly, if the name is revealed, it means that the participants have done all comparisons and that was their final keyboard. I understand this was an editing nightmare and a challenge to present, but I still think having the names of all keyboard on screen ( so above the left or right one), sure would've been more effort but would be a million times better. Still, not understanding comparisons aside, after figuring this out it makes a lot more sense! good vid :D

Edit: Also James, Linear keyboards do not require you to press the keys all the way down. If you had actually spent some time really researching about different types of key switches, you wouldn't have gotten so many things wrong in this video. You guys need to go back and learn about key switches again.

Dont forget that they randomized the order people tested boards in to reduce order bias So for the "MX Brown" section of the video they would have cut things out of order because browns might be James' first board, Riley's third board, etc etc I'm not sure what a better way to cut the video would have been, given that aspect of the testing. I do wish they had explicitly said "these clips were rearranged to be grouped by board" or something similar

If LTT ever makes an update on this, please see this: 1. Please please do a better format and table when comparing. As you can see in the comments, people do not know which keyboard you are referring to. The numbers and all that is so confusing. 2. instead of them just spamming randomly on the keyboard, make them do a typing test and test out the spacebar, enter, esc keys esc like most youtubers do. Trust me it is ALOT more better that way 3. Collab with someone like Taeha or any other well known peeps in this hobby so that you can get better information on certain keys and some fun facts and such. I understand that this is a blind test but it seems that too many people do not even know what is what here. Bottom of line of this point is to find a balance of knowledge here. 4. Please have someone to double check your timeline in the video when its done. To my knowledge, it has been Intro, Tactile, Linear and Most Replayed for the longest time when someone in your team could have easily added the Clicky category in.

I can personally attest to having ‘key switch memory’ Recently I picked up a pack of sample switches because I wanted to make my own mech keyboard, and initially I liked box jades (which feel a lot like my razor cynosa chroma’s rubber domes), but after really giving all of the switches a chance, I don’t like them nearly as much and more prefer less tactile options. If you want to make your own keyboard, I strongly recommend getting a switch sampler and using it as a fidgeting object for at least a month before buying a full set of any switch. It saved me from jades, it could save you too.

I think they mean you need to push all the way down in the sense that there is no feedback (in the strictest definition of linear). So until you get really familiar with the switch, you’re typically going to bottom it out because the switch isn’t telling you when you’ve hit the actuation point.

If you’re confused watching this: Every keyboard received a number, but they are being tested randomly across the participants. That means the participants didn’t compare the same pair of keyboards. In other words, they compared the keyboards on a different order. That’s why they show the footage of people testing a specific keyboard - and not a pair. How come some people get to find out what keyboard they were testing then? It’s because that keyboard is the one they preferred and actually ended up with. Because of the random testing, one could try out the first numbered keyboard last and end up with it. This may give off the wrong impression that they found out after testing their first keyboard.

Hey there, thanks for your comment! I think the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule could be a great addition to any desk setup. Its powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities make it perfect for keeping your keyboard and other areas clean. Plus, the multiple tubes and high-quality filters ensure long-lasting performance. Definitely worth considering!

If you watched the video or have ever used a mechanical keyboard, you’d know that they categorize themselves. Are you saying all keyboards should be mixed, or that they should still be categorized but they shouldn’t know the category. Either way, if you scramble them all, they said in the video that going straight through 22 keyboards would be exhausting, and if they didn’t tell them the category but divided them anyway they’d easily differentiate them.

Wait, just under half of all the switches listed as being in contention never get shown in the video; 4 tactile, 4 linear, and 1 clicky. Some of them never get picked (Kailh Speed Silvers, the BOX Royals, BOX Navy and more) and I already think those should still be in the videos so that customers can see why the testers passed them up. Then you have something like the Holy Pandas (often regarded as one of the best tactile switches, alongside Zealios V2s) which the roundup at the end shows were even the favorite for as many people as the Zealios v2s, but they still never appeared in the video. Would it really be so hard to do an extended cut of this? Show all the feedback from each person for each switch, move the infographics up top where there's more blank space so they're not blocking the view of the keyboards (and add a second graphic on the right showing the board they're being compared with) Slap a shitload of midroll ads on there for that $payday$ and watch your video become one of the first pitstops people direct others to when they ask about what switches they should get.

The people comparing this to the verge though seems a bit of a stretch to me. One, you are comparing a test that is primarily based on subjective preference to an objectively wrong tutorial. They even mention that mx browns were probably so popular because everyone is used to using them already and they felt familiar. 2. You are comparing a tutorial to a test
@Whiterin
@Whiterin 3 жыл бұрын
I noticed that too. They list some, but don't seem to actually test them. Not only are they not shown being tested, but aren't even in this list of ones that were picked. The Box Navy for example are one of the most popular clicky switches by far, but not a single person picked them? They're also somewhat unique, being extremely heavy and clicky, but no one reacted at all to them? Seems unlikely.

@WARnTEA

Daniel Broca agreed. Can’t help but think that in regards to browns, that they essentially chose the lesser of two evils. The keyswitch landscape is actually pretty weird right now too. The enthusiast community that like tactile has really went overboard in the last couple years due to holy panda mods, and because of this the Zealios V2 is actually nothing like the original Zealios that essentially started the premium keyswitch trend. Zealios V1 are basically like what the MX Browns wish they were, slightly more tactile but a lot smoother. Zealios V2 have a very pronounced tactile bump trying to be closer to a holy panda. And because of this trend in the community, we’ve seen the preferred switch in the keyboard community shift over to high quality/premium linears, with another substantial piece of the community preferring the kailh clickbar switches (which won all but two of the positions in this video). Kailh clickbar switches are essentially linear switches with the key difference being that when you reach the activation point there is a very sharp/short resistance followed by a satisfy and sharp click. Typing accuracy is just so much better on linear type switches, and while old linears tended to be soul-less and mushy, every new linear/clickbar switch has been optimized to provide great feedback along with being precise/accurate to type on.
