Glarses, I need your guidance. I'm Team Tactile at heart, but lubed and filmed Gateron Black Ink V2s swooped in to become my current favorite switch, and then I also spring swapped and lubed some Durock POM Linears and they're also good. I feel l may be straying from the Tactile path.

I have never seen a blue penguin before, so I searched up "blue penguin" and found some penguins that look similar to the penguin in your thumbnail and learned that they're called Little penguins and at this point I'm confused how I went from waiting for a Hipyo Tech Video to looking at Little Penguins.

[@Aertyn]

'Nother fun fact! (I love these Penguins!). You can watch them come in from the ocean to their burrows every night at Phillip Island in Victoria. Beautiful part of the world and it's something I always recommend to visitors to the area.

[@Instinct0425]

@Ville Skoglund not on these but on gmmk pro

[@pengu470]

I really wanted to like these switches, but I just can't. Instead of saying the generic commentary of "they suck", my main gripe was the upstroke that it felt like it was a "stuck" feeling. Lubed with 205g0 and lube bagged the springs and tried another batch (this time with lighter lube--I like to lube my switches a tad bit more so wanted to see if they respond better with lighter lube) and it was the same thing. Apparently other folks had the same experience I had. They will still go on a Penguin theme board i'm going for with the Adelie, Penguin Switches, with Penguin Artisans (still have halfway to go) but in short not my favorite of the tactile group. I hope there will be other revisions on it because.. it's penguins... and aesthetically they look nice if you're going for a frost theme.

[@HipyoTech]

Did you lube the legs?

[@Jonas_Fox]

They sound nice. Not "give up my Gateron Ink Yellows" nice, but still nice. I usually can enjoy Tactile Gang Initiation rites for about two weeks before back to linear crispness.

"Now that tactile gang got out" Me, a member of clicky gang:

[@DJCloudy_]

When I lubed my kiwis, at first I bag lubed the springs to save time(it still ended up taking 4 hours for 61 switches; it was my first time), but ended up individually lubing the springs because I ran into some ping. My spacebar has a bit of return issues, but it never sticks down. Might lube the legs a TINY BIT. (205g0)

[@videogamedumbass9901]

Personally I am a linear gang member too. My journey first starts by loving Cherry MX blue. Now i am using my lubed Roselios. Seeing this review, just made me wonder, if you have ever tried the lubed TTC tea switches. I think they were aming for a topre feeling when designing the switch. I personally find them very satisfying on my Drop Alt High Profile. it looks like you are a big fan of the ID80 which is frame mount too [correct me if I am wrong]. In short, I think you will like the TTC tea switches on ID80 when lubed (with their weird switch dampening methods.) :)

[@AquanFukanaPersonal]

I'm a member of tactile gang, well i think. I have no idea. I just like when i'm able to feel when i finish the keypress. However linereas are still good, and i can't decide wich i prefer. As of now i am using tactile.

[@ixen_lol]

What would be the best budget keyboard with switches like silver mx but 75/80 bcs need fkeys

[@alexcheng3411]

Bought 10 to try. Its tactility is similar to MX Brown but sharper, and it's tactile bump is between light and medium. Definitely better than MX Brown, though not much better. It would be perfect for me if it has a bigger tactile bump. It is already using a 19mm long string, so there is not much you can do to improve its tactility.

[@ClickandThock]

Are they more smooth than mx brown? Because they are scratchy as hell...

[@IronCan88]

Just curious how are these keycaps compared with stock pbt keycaps on the drop alt high profile? Other than color, does it sound better, more durable, nicer to the touch? I am new so just want to know the difference between $40 pbt vs $155 abs keycaps. Thank you.

[@ALT-HEX]

When I first got into Mechanicals. I was into the clicky's but quickly got annoyed. My manager hated it when I was typing during calls. LOL Then I when full thock. I tried many switches. The last batch where some Gateron Yellow Linear Switches. Lubed, stem change to 63.5, and while they felt great, the typing experience wasnt for me. I realized more and more, I need that bump to type comfortably. Recently, I picked up dk Saru Tactile Switches, and boy are these excellent. I lubed them lightly, and they feel terrific. I think I have found my happy medium. I am going to stick with Tactiles from now on. I really tried several linears, but not my cup of tea.

[@ZietInvests]

what did you use to remove your switches in 1:10?

[@thoperSought]

I'm still new to all this, but I think of myself as a tactile guy. I thought I'd love clicky before I got started, didn't really, and went immediately to tactile. since I skipped over linear, I recently ordered a couple of Oil Kings to test (among maybe one or two other linears, and a bunch of tactiles). I loved the sound of the Oil Kings, and the smoothness, but I found I _really_ miss the bump. so, this lighter weight lube approach might be the solution for me.

[@denny8360]

you refer to tactiles with both pre and post travel, anything that does this well? most well known "good" tactiles have very little to no pre travel which is a problem to me. other than the silence box browns that are a bit pricey I haven't really had much luck finding anything like that.

[@cosmostardust5624]

What do you recommend for a beginner mechanical keyboard? I’m looking to build one, but I have no idea where to start. Thank you!

[@jetjazz05]

Better than a GLORIOUS PANDA? Hmm. 1) glorious pandas hit the spot for me, holy ones are harder to come by and more expensive, I can live with the glorious... 2) I really like the tactility of the panda switches... I am very curious if these are better than that. I actually use gateron speed coppers, I am a very light typer so I miss keys on a heavier switch, even fairly light keypresses on light linear switches don't always register, but the coppers force me to feel the bump which is fairly easy to actuate and 1mm in, but I just can't shake the pandas, have them on my numpad, f keys, esc and shift as well. I just love that chonky clonk...

[@nicolle2126]

im new to keyboards but I just wanted to ask, are those retractable stem holders the same as 2mm clutch pencil lead holders?? Because they look strikingly similar to what I have in my pencil case 😭

[@firehandszarb]

I looks very similar to the small parts grabber (mostly used to retrieve screws or any other small item dropped inside a PC case) supplied in PC toolkits. Also the Switch puller looks very similar to an chip puller.

I haven't gotten into mechanical keyboards yet, and the biggest deterrent is the process of lubing. I want to switch keycaps and switches, but I definitely don't want to spend the time required to lube every switch.

[@supernova1107]

Lubing is not a necessity. There's lots of switches to choose from, some are factory lubed, some are not. I'd recommend to buy a few in small quantities and see what you like most.

I'm currently using Gateron Yellows for my gaming keyboard but I make a lot of typos, and I got holy pandas as well, but they r not good for gaming for the same reason u mentioned in the video (the bump is distracting), so do u think it's a good idea to use a heavier linear switches? and what would u recommend?
