That sounds so good! Amazing build!

[@oolongthea3061]

Thank you!

[@indahead5912]

Oh wow I have my first mechanical keyboard and been thinking over the glorious pandas or the holy pandas and then came upon your video and I'm in love. Thanks for this, they sound amazing

[@oolongthea3061]

Glad I could be of help :)

[@wolf-xf6hf]

Yea if you are new and don’t wanna buy lubing supplies the gateron oil kings are a god send. If you want something more budget but don’t mind lubing get ktt whites.

[@kafka0015]

jesus christ this sound made me salivate. Great work!

[@oolongthea3061]

thank you!

[@maxim093]

holy shit, this sounds amazing!

[@indestruct1bl3]

I just ordered the Keydous NJ80 Barebones (White Case w/Brass Plate), Oil Kings, and some Grey/Black Keycaps. Can't wait to assemble and hear that thocky goodness.

[@hman2875]

That sounds fabulous

[@user-darkness0000]

really nice sound!!!!

[@drumdover]

Damn this sounds good!

[@justzaxx7150]

I bought the Oil Kings and I can not wait for them to come, even stock they apparently sound amazing

[@nafishaider]

They do and I'm using them right now, but I would recommend you at least bag lube the stems and springs for an even better sound.

[@tehmoomin]

Just ordered these for my Ducky One 3 TKL. Let the eargasm commence

[@JalenF]

Great video.

[@altsuu3539]

ooh i just love tye sound

[@DaBigWanReol]

Been looking for what switches to get and I think this video has made me settle on the Oil kings. Such a nice sounding keyboard, good stuff!

[@oolongthea3061]

Glad I helped in making that decision, they're great switches!

[@Demise698]

It’s the Mr Suit sound profile not just the switch

[@DaBigWanReol]

@@Demise698 for sure, but I'd imagine I could get a similar sound profile with the right mods

[@Demise698]

@@DaBigWanReol Yeah, it’s definitely possible but it’s not just the switch that matters, the case, pe foam, plate and keycaps all play a huge role in sound, the switch only plays a small portion.

[@Demise698]

@@DaBigWanReol still tho, I love oil kings too and have some getting shipped soon

[@DiamondPickCraft]

sublime :D

The creamy sound is godlike.

[@masterchiefone5111]

WOW

[@janmartinzamudio3031]

DAMN

[@HuyNg2603]

Hi, that's amazing sound. I've been waiting for mine to be delivered! I was wonder if these switches need films, what do you think?

[@oolongthea3061]

Woo I hope you enjoy them, barely any noticeable difference with film, quite unnecessary

[@kbkb4284]

Hello! Do you remove the factory lube from the oil kings and lube everything yourself or just lube the parts they didn't cover? Also, what are the parts that you lubed?

[@oolongthea3061]

The factory lubed was not removed, it wouldn't be oil king anymore if I removed them :') I lubed the bottom housings, hand lube springs and a thin layer of lube over the oil on the stems. I didn't touch the pole.

[@user-ws2lp1pi6u]

wow

[@cudimixtapes]

it sounds great. did you remove the factory lube on the oil kings? or did you lube over it?

[@oolongthea3061]

I lubed over it :)

[@georgeraissi9642]

I want my keyboard to sound like that

[@shazzziie]

wow! what are the included mods on a mr. suit keyboard? want to recreate this!

[@oolongthea3061]

case, plate and PE foam!

[@muynahte19]

I want this exact keyboard, I'm new to custom keyboards would I have to build this or is there a company that can make keyboards like this?

[@alayna3882]

What stabilizers or mods have you done?

[@dondang8439]

did you do a spring swap because I saw that the bottom out is at 65g

[@oolongthea3061]

Ah oops, my bad hahah, cause some sites have it as 80g bottom out. Thanks for pointing it out

[@imParow]

Should I get gateron oil kings, or TTC Tigers?? Ahh bro I some opinions!

[@PinkL-sg1oi]

I bought the pre lubed ones on amazon

[@toxicyt472]

Did you add any more mods? or did just the switches themselves make the sound good?.

[@oolongthea3061]

Mods are in the description, no extra mods. Just all the foam that came with the suit.

[@iamthestormthatisapproaching69]

MMMMMM.

[@greatestcait]

Wonder how these would sound with a stainless steel plate

[@zlone4825]

sorry for the late comment but are these lubed? because i ordered them they coming in 1 or 2 days but i want to know if urs was lubed or stock

[@oolongthea3061]

All oil kings are all prelubed, stock ones should be lubed as well. I don't think there's any unlubed ones out there unless you wipe it off. I lubed over the lube though, I didn't wipe it off.

[@alexbarton666]

Hey, it doesn't say you used PE foam in this build but it sounds like you did. Can you confirm if you used the PE sheet?

[@oolongthea3061]

Ah mb, I used everything that came with the Suit, including the PE foam

[@alexbarton666]

@@oolongthea3061 ahh no worries, thanks!

[@Sicel1304]

Me: I'm going to buy everything in the video description so my first custom keyboard sounds exactly like the one in the video. *Takes one look at the price of the keyboard itself* Me: Nevermind...

What are your keycaps?

[@enfkaip_]

Hey what mic do you use?

[@korun_7275]

nice sounding board, but with that ixpe foam it does sound a little boring like a regular pe foam board

[@oolongthea3061]

I do agree. Entirely preference though, some people build their suits with no foam at all and it still sounds great

[@pawelhorna4801]

Amazing setup! What's inside this keyboard?

[@oolongthea3061]

Thank you! Everything about the keyboard is in the description

are these lubed?

Are they stock or lubed/filmed?

Lubed only

[@mzs.]

Lubed or no?

[@weasel8635]

Idk if this is stupid but, are these lubed, lubed and filmed, or stock

Unnecessary to film for these switches. Only lube

@@weasel8635 I stated everything in the description

[@painpega]

just out of curiosity, how close is this to the real life sound and how much of the sound is the microphone?

[@oolongthea3061]

I always make sure it sounds exactly (if not, similar) like how I hear it irl, only thing I did was background noise cancelling

[@joygaming7245]

Is oil king heavy?

[@adrianchan9696]

it has an actuation force of 55g and a bottom out force of 65g, not as heavy compared to the gateron box ink blacks v2

[@pedroduran8927]

I c4me.

[@swag_master8925]

How do you get it to sound so creamy.

[@oolongthea3061]

Honestly I just slapped the switches on and this sound came out

hey @Oolong Thea -- any chance you would sell this keyboard?
