The Final Lofree Shadow Series Low Profile Switches Review for Leverless Controllers

[@Shyningfade]

I bought of Wizard switches and they quickly became my favorite switch to type on. Light, crisp, and satisfying to type on and listen to. So glad they come in sets of 90 so there will always be replacements.

in my research i also found Jade and Wizard switches to sound best and have the best actuation points. i prefer low profile over normal too. wizard is magic.

thanks for the reviews! i have a set of 10 phantoms on the way i'm excited to try out, now i get to *feel* my misinputs lol

[@jokerface3351]

Thank you, exactly what I'm looking for, very detail on feeling and sound profile in each type of material. Keep up the good work. Even tho I'm the fan of linear (use it on my keyboard), using linear (choc v2 red) in fight stick feel kinda off for me. And yea the standard version stem wobble a lot for my liking

The wizard song drop in the beginning had me howling. Thanks Zevaeros! I have to give these a try, I wasn't aware of this company until your videos.

[@Zevaeros]

"They knew what they were doing." 😆 They're definitely worth it to me. They're not going to make you win games, but they feel a lot better.

Awesome review man, you deserve more subs

[@Zevaeros]

Haha, thanks. I need to be more consistent about posting videos.

[@FS-zt6tm]

have you tested the other choc v2 variants (blues and browns)? I'm curious to hear how they all compare to the lofree variants (wizards and phantoms). I know the lofrees all use POM material so they probably have slightly better build quality and as you pointed out in earlier vids, less wobble. Are lofrees generally better options than the choc v2 variants?

[@Zevaeros]

I'm likely going to get some of the stock v2 blues and browns as well as some others (e.g. Deep Sea series) in the near future. Otherwise, the stock v2s should have relatively the same construction.

[@RiotAugust]

Sorry to ask here but what's the difference between the shadow series and kailh's element series? Is it just that Shadow is a collab with Lofree?

[@Zevaeros]

No real difference from what I've seen other than colors.

[@OhDiluck]

Would you say the lofree ghost switches are quieter than the kailh choc reds? I’m wondering which switches to get that are better and quieter than the reds. Great video btw helped me out a lot!

[@Zevaeros]

I think it's a...different sound profile. Kailh now has the Deep Sea low profile switches which are supposed to be silenced; I'm looking to get some to test.

[@johnm4397]

thank you so much for your review, i been using samduck buttons but they broke on me twice so i am thinking about moving to this new buttons, would you recommend this buttons better than buttons that use cherry switches? thanks!

[@Zevaeros]

These switches are more for leverless controllers that use the Kailh Choc v2 switch and not for existing buttons. You may want to look at Gamerfinger, Qanba Gravity, Sitong, or Seimitsu Alutimo.

[@johnm4397]

@@Zevaeros I am going with sitong buttons and they have this switches on them thats why I was wondering if they are better than samduck buttons

[@Zevaeros]

@@johnm4397 I haven't used the Sitongs myself; I'm usually biased toward screw-ins.

Hello man, can you help me please? I tried updating my GP2040-CE to the latest firmware. I was able to update it, but now I lost the "select" or "option" button that makes me go into BOOTSEL mode when I plug in my device. Any advice? I can't go into the web config anymore :(

[@Zevaeros]

Sure, see my video on updating to 0.7.8. You should be able to hold down your controller or board's boot button and plug in to get into bootsel mode.
