POM Durock Switch Review | Linear Switch Comparison

[@charlie-bz6xx]

Thank you for letting me borrow your lambo last week shoobs, and also for saving all those children from the burning house. Truly a hero.

[@miraie]

very great/consistent comparison, might get me some alpacas after this video w

[@ShoobsTube]

I love you Miraie. Keep up the bangers as usual.

[@ShoobsTube]

@@miraie Algo helping me out I see haha, Yeah the alpacas go fast. Lavs and H1s are super nice tho, and arent your regular recolors, I personally find the sound from them to be deeper and more satisfying, so not a bad compromise at all!

@@ShoobsTube what was the scuffed montage song?

[@sviz]

this fucking music goes hard in the intro man exceptional montage skills

[@gartinmarrix4841]

Been waiting for a full video review of these switches Thanks scuffed taeha

[@spyler0000]

honestly speaking, the POM Durocks sound just absolutely amazing both lubed and unlubed. little to no scratchiness on them, and produce a very similar sound to the creams. overall a really good switch. might have to cop now 👀 good review 👍 edit: I mispoke, they do sounds very nice both lubed and unlubed, but I wasn't able to hear the scratchiness you might've been able to. now hearing them once more compared to all of them, they do have a hint of scratchiness, but I would still buy them alongside the alpaca v2's ngl.

[@ShoobsTube]

They are a great switch for sure. The scratchiness is slight and definitely more than alpacas but in no way is it gonna be that noticeable. The sound is so good, one of my favorite sounding in a long time

[@spyler0000]

@@ShoobsTube i still might have to cop, been deciding on a switch that I might use for a personal build that I might get once I get some moolah, but the POM's sound just so nice in a board that I might have to take that leap of faith lmao

[@ShoobsTube]

@@spyler0000 if you like the cream sound feel (aside from the scratch) these will be great. If you want max smoothness tho alpacas are the move. Sound is preference but these are deeper than alpacas. Lavenders are also a solid choice if you want deeper sound with good smoothness.

[@TwilightHearted]

@@ShoobsTube just wanted to say thanks for this thread man, really helping me decide on what I wanna get for my next build :)

[@deetee2730]

Are the POM linears scratchier after lubing too?

[@dhoffnun]

"What is goof_" would make a fun tshirt... Great laid-back content with good, usable information - love it! These switches sound better than I expected... might have to add them to my wishlist now.

[@KhufuhK]

the stem wobble on zeal switches makes any board with them feel like it came from walmart

[@midthew2389]

you can use the top housing and stem of these switches to make pomerons, just combine them with a gateron black ink bottom housing and spring.

Lubing the POM’s made a much more significant difference than lubing the Creams. There wasn’t really any difference between stock and lubed creams.

dude your reviews are fucking insane in the membrane

[@ShoobsTube]

thanks man!

[@Derpylobsterboy]

bro deadasss, on my dead great great great grandma you're my favorite keyboard/switch reviewer. keep scuffing

[@Jperales96]

I don't know why to this point, people don't know you should not test switches in different places, they sound different all over the keyboard even on the same row and key size

[@mrscotchguy]

Just when I didn't think I needed more switches 😂

[@krolsky4608]

Love you man. This really helped me out!

[@naxinf]

Love your quality video!

[@alistairblaire6001]

I happily typed on my stock Cherry MX blacks for years. Now I dig that keyboard out and I'm like "wtf this is so scratchy". Ignorance is bliss.

[@tklresearchclub8736]

Just put these stems in the Nightwalker Solaris they sound super good ,the spring that the Solaris comes with needed to be lubed but they feel is super nice I like.

[@_paczki]

LMAO I died when you threw on a band-aid on the typing test

[@_IanOfEarth]

I really like your channel, your production value is good, you speak clearly, and the videos are easy to follow. If I may offer some feedback it would be: For the wobble test, test way more than one. I'd say 10 at a minimum and show the most representative one on camera, but the more you can test the better. With the way MX style switches are manufactured there is a good amount of chance that goes in to how loose the top housing can be. In my experience I've had mostly great Black Inks and a non-zero amount of horrible wobbly JWK's. Something to think about!

[@its_zakd]

Glad the sound test did black ink v2s then lavenders as i currently have black inks and would def consider lavenders now.

[@JtwasLuck]

Great review. I knew this was accurate when I saw the Alpacas all the way on the right. Alpaca V2s are the smoothest I've ever tried. Still hunting for good vint blacks tho lol

[@WidowmakersAss]

Personally think Alpaca v2’s are smoother than vint blacks tbh. Sound wise tho we all know who wins

[@tommytypes1721]

These paired w a brass plate are nice af. Def an improvement from creams

[@slimpotato3332]

What song is in the beginning?

[@FestiveIV]

MY BOI MADE IT 2:46

[@ShoobsTube]

had to get a hint smh

[@Holycowboards]

Like you I personally favor inks and the Pom Durocks are definitely a close second off initial testing. I’ve been testing lavenders in a board recently and I haven’t been impressed as much as I thought I would have been.

[@chrisdiscodude]

What don't you like about the lavenders? I'm curious since I'm debating between lavs, inks, and alpaca v2's.

[@Holycowboards]

@@chrisdiscodude personally i have just enjoyed the sound of inks more. I lubed more lavs up and i did a better job with the springs and i like them more than i did before, deeper sound than alpacas v2 but still not as deep as my inks

[@chrisdiscodude]

@@Holycowboards ahh okay I see. Yea I've read inks are very thocky. In terms of smoothness, how do the lavs, inks and alpacas compare?

[@Holycowboards]

@@chrisdiscodude I think @shoobs does a pretty good job of explaining the smoothness in his vid and other vids he has done, which i agree with. But for me, at some point smoothness becomes very similar to the point it doesn't matter to me as long as they aren't scratchy.

[@mcheddadi]

POM sounds deep. might try it. but i'm alpaca gang. hard to beat for me. yolo amirite!

[@ShoobsTube]

Alpacas so damn smooth and nice, definitely a good switch.

[@diffidentlydone3263]

Ima get some lavenders now

[@avgjoegeek71]

damn shoobs your finger must be tired after clicking those switches like that for the comparison Seriously though - intro got the sub - but the comparison was really well done without being.... a snob? about it. And for some reason the Lavenders won it out for me.

[@koyonari1843]

I wanted to get alpacas but shipping from prime kb is rlly ex and ilumkb is outta stock (if u wanna help me find or gimme suggestions, I'm in Singapore)

[@ShoobsTube]

Alpacas are your standard jwk linear. Nylon housing, Nylon/PC top, with POM stem. so any recolor will be basically similar. I see that lilacs are still in stock at Ilumkb. I’m not sure whether those are v1 or v2 housings but they are basically the same as alpacas.

[@khoinguyen-cc3mo]

Keycap interference on durock pom?

[@toasty6986]

Where can i get a jwk tactile that has the v2 housing

[@dispairity]

Yeah

[@tianlamian]

Durock POMs just a better NK Cream but keep the cream "poppiness", does that sound right?

[@ShoobsTube]

I can get behind that, they are very much like smoother and slightly deeper creams in my opinion

[@tianlamian]

@@ShoobsTube Thanks sounds like what I'm lookin' for, ordered. LET'S GOOO

[@ShoobsTube]

@@tianlamian nice! I’m sure you’ll like em. I’m daily driving them currently and they’re great

[@tianlamian]

@@ShoobsTube Yooo, they just came in, they feel smooth stock but I can definitely hear the "shcc" sound when tapping on them fast. Do you think I should break them in first or just lube em' now?

[@ShoobsTube]

@@tianlamian not too sure if breaking em in will affect it too much since I just lubed them straight away. But yeah lubing them will help with that stock scratchiness.

[@solotopp]

Would something like Durock Teals 62g be equal to get yellows? I want a 5 pin switch with more smoothness and a slightly thokier sound but I think get yellows for me have the perfect spring weight. Would Durock Teals or Dolphins have the same weight?

[@hydro6894]

Can you see Durock Pom switches have spring problem? Must replace others? Are Durock Pom sws needed films after lubed? Manythanks

[@justinfournier2521]

Since the POM durocks have a longer stem pole and shorter travel do you think they could prevent interference with GMK keycaps and north facing switches?

[@ShoobsTube]

I don't believe so. However, I have not owned a north facing pcb in which I put a gmk set so I cannot confirm for sure.

[@justinfournier2521]

@@ShoobsTube Alright thanks anyway might order a pack of like 10 to try and see if that is the case. I use wireless board so I'm kinda limited to north facing! you could also just put a gmk keycaps on north facing and put a piece of paper in between to see if there is any interference! I believe wildcat has a video on this on his channel. I use holy panda at the moment to prevent this issue (halo stem prevents it) but want to make a new linear board! Thanks anyway for the quick answer really appreciate it and great content :)

[@maxsherer913]

what material is the plate?

[@prosciutto1581]

have you tried tangerines before? they've been my fav linears in terms of sound and smoothness tealios after then gat inks but im looking for more of a deeper sound now with smooth feel u think these would fit that profile?

[@ShoobsTube]

yeah, I have tried tangerines. Didn't have any in hand for this review, unfortunately, but from my experience, tangies are pretty high-pitched while being VERY smooth, which would most likely be the smoothest out of all the switches in this video. The choice of switch I would recommend would be based on how much you prefer smoothness over deepness or vice versa. if you can accept slightly less smoothness then these could be good. If you want a nice middle ground of smoothness and deepness Lavenders are not a bad choice.

[@prosciutto1581]

@@ShoobsTube damn, i see, most deep sounding switches are scratchy and clacky switches are smoother...i'm gonna try putting gat inks in my board again and see how the scratchiness is

[@ShoobsTube]

@@prosciutto1581 that’s not always the case, but regarding the switches that we are talking about, yeah. Also give those gat black inks a try, definitely not as smooth as tangies but I love the sound.

[@theredeyeddragon4882]

Pom or l2 Which is better stock?

[@_mono08]

what is the song on 0:25?

[@Archurus]

Are the POMs more "poppy" than Tealios? I'm at a dilemma on which to get.

[@LeoGlister]

I have lubed regular tealios and I am not sure if I would buy a dollar per switch again so imo I'd say go durock pom.

[@deetee2730]

Do you prefer Alpacas v2 or Durock POM linears?

[@ShoobsTube]

I like the typing feel of the POMs but the smoothness of the Alpacas. Overall, I think I might be leaning towards the Alpacas for the overall value but its preference.

[@bobbyportis886]

ok tho in my opinion the stock alpacas creams and durock poms aa re the best in my opinion

[@FestiveIV]

[@ShoobsTube]

[@JordanDoesKeebs]

Are JWK Linear Lilacs the same as the JWK Alpacas?

[@ShoobsTube]

Have not tried the lilacs, but looking at the housing material, seems slightly different as it says there's nylon mixed with polycarbonate for the top while Alpacas are just nylon I think. But to be completely honest that is probably negligible and will probably be the same as Alpacas LOL

[@lsw4852]

They sound extremely similar to the lavenders and similar to alpacas. Went with lilacs over lavenders cause they were cheaper tbh.. 0oof my wallet

[@mena4108]

Lilacs have a pc/nylon blended top, while alpacas have a full pc top. Lilacs will sound a tad deeper than alpacas. Lilacs are basically mauves with a lighter spring.

[@Yu-ry6ts]

I can’t even tell the diff after they are lubed...LOOL
