MMD Princess

[@peanuts1224]

Recently got MMD Princess tactiles v2, very happy with it. The sound and feel is perfect for me. Before these switches I was using akko v3 creamy blue pro, the click was not as strong as I would like and the Princess was just perfect.

[@MechKeyboards]

I'm quite fond of these switches as well!

[@dariocagalj5077]

Switches aside, you are a great guy, wish you a very succesfull youtube carrier !

[@MechKeyboards]

Thank you for the kind words, I truly appreciate it, cheers!

[@joaomoulin1223]

Just bought my first custom, a GMK67, with those switches, and XDA PBT dyesub keycaps, all from aliexpress lol, but thanks for helping me pick my switches i almost went for the fekker pandas

[@GreySectoid]

I don't know, I bought the 48 g version to replace gateron browns on my keychron Q6, but comparing them side by side they sound much worse on that board. I will keep the gaterons. Princesses on gmk67 sound fine though, I will keep them there.

[@aaronmichelson5510]

They do sound loud! I'll have to try them out. I don't care about budget, but lately I have been putting cheaper switches on keys I don't use much.

[@MechKeyboards]

They are quite fun and better than some pricier switches, in my opinion anyways.

[@rasmusboysen7300]

please make a review of the MMD Sea Salt tactile i have just bought and typing right now on them they are 65 gf tactile force and about 50 gf on operating they are bit heavy feeling but the sound is more "clacky" than "thocky" i would say and i was thinking if i should buy the MMD Princess v3 tactile that just came out aswell? hmm...

[@MechKeyboards]

I've placed an order for them and will review when they arrive.

[@MrRockinRein]

Talk about a in depth review! Thanks for the great video. I was wondering, if you tried the MMD Holy Panda clones aswell, and how they compare to the Princess switches?

[@MechKeyboards]

Thanks for watching! I tried the MMD HPs before the Princess; they aren't bad per se, but I prefer the Princess over the MMD HP any day.

[@MrRockinRein]

@@MechKeyboards Thanks for the quick reply! Do you like the princesses more for the feel, the sound, or both?

[@MechKeyboards]

@@MrRockinReinboth. The deliver a nicer "bump", and the sound, is loud and poppy, and have brought much more life to some keyboards that just sounded flat.

[@MrRockinRein]

@@MechKeyboards Thank you! Guess I know what I'm ordering for my next keyboard!

[@MechKeyboards]

Right on@@MrRockinRein, I do hope that you enjoy that as much as I do, cheers!

[@WarrenLeggatt]

I got some Panda clones of Ali recently and the bag included one of each MMD Princess (Tactile and Linear). They feel nice but I think I prefer the panda clones I got as they were on a 55g spring, Panda style tend to make that feel more because of the bump. For me the MMD, the clones and also Outemu Panda all feel very similar to me. I think there is little between them feel wise apart from sound. For the money the MMD are great, I am a fan of the P style tactile instead of D style

[@timf2533]

These are pretty interesting I'll have to give them a try. If you haven't already you should try the Epomaker Budgerigar switch, another great budget tactile that are snappy and satisfying to use, and they come pre-lubed.

[@MechKeyboards]

I actually have the Budgerigar queued to be reviewed in the next week or so!

[@blipblopblipboop]

this review makes me want to try those switches now.. then I'd want to get a board for it.. ah the cycle! saved up to get u4ts then was bummed that I liked my aflion inks better since it's snappier.

[@MechKeyboards]

Thankfully these are much cheaper and oh boy, are they fun and snappy!

[@littledarkstar3972]

Hey i was thinking of mixing these with my Budgerigar switches from epomaker bavause i think the f row sounds a bit weak, to you recommend mixing them or is it a bad idea? Enjoyed the Video thanks

[@MechKeyboards]

It won't hurt to try, you might like it, you might not, but that's the beauty of hot swap! Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!

[@okamisamakun]

How would you compare the tactile bump to the durock t1s and boba u4ts?

[@MechKeyboards]

IMO the T1 has the lighter bump of all three, the Princess is in the middle with a medium heavy bump, and the U4T with a nice and heavy bump that cannot be missed and makes it one of my favorite tactile switches and one that beats them in tactility.

[@marcel151]

These ones or Boba U4T? Finding U4Ts is difficult.

[@MechKeyboards]

Boba U4T is my favorite. Currently PullingKeys has stock: pullingkeys.com

[@marcel151]

@@MechKeyboards Correction: Finding the keys being delivered to Germany without high shipping prices is difficult. :D I already saw a V2 of these switches. Is there a V2 coming?

[@MechKeyboards]

These are V2 they recently released V3 which I haven't had a chance to test yet.

[@clockcycle]

Compare to the V3 and or 48g?

[@MechKeyboards]

Have yet to get the V3 or different weighted springs.

[@lemont_0]

Hi, I got some of these and i am having pretty severe ticking (probably the leaf but i am not sure) issues on about half of the switches that i got. Do you think filming and lubing the back of the leaves can help fix this? I think the aluminum plate in my build also exacerbates this issue but i dont really feel like getting a new plate. Thanks!

[@MechKeyboards]

I've not experienced switch ticking, but spring leaf ping can be taken care of with a small dab of grease on the back of the leaf spring. Films are meant for switches that have loose housings and as these have very good tolerances, I'd be more concerned with switch films causing issues, as there is nothing for them to correct.

[@oczek]

Do you have a comparison with Cherry/Gateron Browns? I have the latter and they feel is disappointing. Almost like linears, even Kailh Browns were better IMO. How's the Princesses?

[@MechKeyboards]

Where as the Brown is a light tactile, I would consider this a heavy tactile; the bump is quite pronounced.

[@duyanhcenland2044]

i change from gateron brown to thís switch recently and its amazing dif like day and night about typing experience even that i have to desolder my pcb which is nightmare for me but it worth :)) and its really loud

[@GreySectoid]

I was going to replace gateron browns with V2 48gs, but I ended up preferring the manually lubed gaterons. Princesses had very pingy sound on keychron Q6 board. I am still looking for something than gateron browns.

[@GatorDraq]

How does the tactility compare to Outemu Pandas? i have the Outemu Pandas on one of my keyboards although its tactility is nothing compared to my Box Jades lol

[@MechKeyboards]

The Princess tactile is a much more pronounced bump than the Outemu Pandas, so are thee Feker Holy Pandas.

[@GatorDraq]

@@MechKeyboards Thanks for the response! just bought some on Aliexpress for ~ $0.19 CAD per switch, probably the cheapest switch I've seen other than the cheap Outemus (blues, reds, browns)

[@MechKeyboards]

@@GatorDraq awesome, let me know what you think, but I have a sneaking suspicion you'll dig them, cheers!

[@GatorDraq]

@@MechKeyboards typing on the MMD Princess switches (60g) right now, they feel great! Imo the tactile bump is much more pronounced on them than the Outemu Pandas which i like more. They sound a lot more clacky and less plastic-y (for lack of a better term) compared to the Outemu Pandas which is great for me as well. It's also a plus that the factory lube on the MMD princess is better than the Outemu Pandas. Ofc there are still some switches that are still a little pingy, but generally the factory lube job is better on the MMD.

[@MechKeyboards]

@@GatorDraq very cool, glad you like! Feel free to share your build over on budgetkeebs.com Cheers!

[@mackit2264]

how loud these princess switches are?

[@MechKeyboards]

They are on the louder side for sure.

[@bisikleta1015]

You deserve a like

[@MechKeyboards]

Thanks, have a lovely day!

[@kenkai8739]

Sir, good day! Does this sound more thocky than akko cream blue v3? And much louder?

[@MechKeyboards]

IMO I'd say that the MMD Princess is a tad deeper due to not having a PC top.

[@kenkai8739]

@@MechKeyboards so its much louder in profile sir?

[@MechKeyboards]

In my opinion,@@kenkai8739 yes.

[@kenkai8739]

@@MechKeyboards thank you sir. Last question sir if you dont mind. Can you recommend me budget tactiles switches that have the deep thock and loud sound? Thank you. Im in the price range of akko creams and this mmd princess

[@MechKeyboards]

@@kenkai8739 The Akko, the MMD, and the Feker HP are some of the nice budget tactiles, IMO.

[@javrich]

They look and sound great! Unfortunately buying them is impossible for me it seems.... whenever I input my address the webpage states they can't ship it to the address I inputted :S It's my home address! I guess the website hates Texas :')

[@MechKeyboards]

I can contact them on your behalf, I know that they serve customers in Texas as one of my good friends buys from them in Houston regularly.

[@MechKeyboards]

They fixed a small issue with shipping, you should be able to check out now if still interested. Cheers!

[@fongf]

Amazon carries them now. KPREPUBLIC is selling them at $23 for 110.
