[@Green-Man]

Ooh the sound of these switches scratch my brain in the perfect way! Love how different they sound to other modern switches on the market! Love this breakdown, thanks BT

[@BTaesthetics]

Glad I could help greenman!

[@Clackbait]

Great video bro! A-Roll lighting is ON POINT!

[@thegreenlion1723]

Could we possibly get a sound test on a no foam build? I'd like to hear these switches in their raw state. Also, great review as always, I love watching your content!

hey jules ill have one coming up very shortly.

Your point about being happy about the options we have now is spot one 🙌🏾

That OG switch price 🤣

Lmao

[@CimInc]

Woah! Did not expect the lube to do such a huge difference in the sound tbh. Sounds so smooth.

[@BTaesthetics]

Crazy different! Completely changes the switch thanks for watching Ciminc

[@shix13]

that's a life lesson right there, my friend ... lube always makes a difference. ;)

[@annisatamaraputri7979]

overlubed

[@LotkaVolterra]

Loving the presentation on these videos. I do struggle with the sound tests though because you're using the Rama M65. For whatever reason, that case in particular dominates the sound profile, so all switches end up sounding similar. It's probably the mute mount. I think a Tofu or some entry level board might actually be better for the typing tests.

[@ghost1one397]

Bro this video is a masterpiece. Feelin the whole vibe here- the lighting, acoustics, atmosphere, and the review. Love your content man. Hope you have a Happy New Year 🎉

[@Caution40404]

If the Hyperglide Black is smoother then I don't know what to say... I have the Hyperglide Black and it's one of the scratchiest switches I've come across. Even when lubed it's no match to many modern linear switches in the last 2 years. Cherry needs to step up their game, really.

[@robr640]

The thing is Cherry makes a shit ton more switches than any of the other companies, so their molds wear out way faster & they need to get more mileage out of them than the competitors. So what ends up happening is this cycle of Cherry switches being just as good if not better than the boutique switches when their molds are fresh, which quickly tapers off to scratchy & wobbly switches that leave people wondering what all the hype was about. I've seen it happen twice so far since I've been in the hobby. The first with the original retool of MX black molds, now with the hyperglides (which was just another retooling they decided to name cause of the fanfare from the last retooling). The best rule of thumb I've come by to get the best version of whatever switch you want is to get them as early as possible. The earlier in the mold's lifetime the switches were made the better smoothness & tolerances they will have.

[@NordenzurZukunft]

Many prefer the chalky feeling and character it adds to the switch. Not disagreeing, but if you know you prefer a smoother switch, there are plenty of options (most are smooth these days)

[@bluntIV21]

Cherry MX is the OG. All other switches technically are replicas. I’ve tried many switches I always return back to cherry.

[@Caution40404]

@@NordenzurZukunft It's not even a chalky feeling like with Kailh Cream or Oooolong for example. Some scratchy switches are satisfying, I agree. Cherry's scratchiness feels like an irritating hard plastic, it's awful in comparison.

[@striker_1120]

People buy cherry mostly for their signature sound ig

[@nucket_]

i was honestly considering putting jwk opblack tops on hyperglide blacks to make copium nixies. phew now i dont have to

[@kynshp]

Great edit man! What are your thoughts on these vs the Gateron Oil Kings?

[@benedictcole4779]

Call me weird but that unlubed nixies sounds good

[@bencarter5563]

Hyperglides are smoother than a baby's butt?? My 650k ultraglides arent even as smooth as stock gateron yellows, that's just not even remotely close to true.

[@ddraganov]

Super clean sound of the spacebar with these lubed nixies. noice

[@minhtam5661]

This is my end game!!! Thanks for great video

[@echo021]

Great content! Switch question, what would you say are the quietest switches you can get on a prebuilt? I lean towards linear as far as actuation goes.

[@initialsjd5867]

I genuinely feel like the biggest idiot alive, i found this old keyboard at my workplace they threw out, i got the caps, but was too lazy too desolder the switches and thought they weren't worth the effort anyways so threw the rest out...

Man, at that price they could've at least released the version with the white stem. Back then you needed 90 Nixdorf boards to complete a TKL.

[@VHQ_C]

i try many switches, but i only keep Cherry HG Black full mods for everyday use, i think i will take 1 set Nixie and 1 set Brown to use in new keyboard :))

[@ghost-type]

I don't know, these switches aren't doing it for me. The sound isn't there.

[@GlenESton]

They might sound better with anything but a brass plate lol

[@Zara-ub7hc]

M65-B isnt really doing it justice imo. maybe a diff board the sound might be better? cause hg blacks on a diff board with an alu plate is godtier but here its kinda meh

[@ghost-type]

[@ghost-type]

@@Zara-ub7hc Thanks for this. Wow, they sound so much nicer here.

[@0Metatron]

Strange that yours came out thocky. They have the classic MX Black scratchy clack to me but just a touch deeper. Maybe you lubed them a lot heavier then me I got a batch and they are scratchy as all hell 😂 Never had switches this scratchy before. Luckily I just received a DingKey break in machine and they respond super well to breaking in. (Non lubed variant) I hate the spring weight though so I’m changing them to TX 62g long

[@lextr3110]

lot better lubed.. any think the Haimu Heartbeats are bad switches? i'm looking for the best silent ones.. nixies lubed seem to be quite nice..

[@nelis3201]

do you plan to do a review on the new hsk pro ace/pro 4k in the future :0?

[@jesustsa1]

These for sure need lubing!

[@markaceto]

Uh… might wanna double check that math

[@fnvfanMSPR]

People buying these switches for that much are not ok in the head and so are the people selling them for that much.

[@Step_Bro1]

For some reason I actually prefer these unlubed.

[@iJansport]

I thought the most sought after switches currently are the lekker switches on a wooting board 👀

[@spunky1682]

One quick question: As you've tried n tested so many gaming peripherals still do you have some bad aim days or bad aim weeks in valorant type of games? Or you just swap mouse and good to go In my case I did'nt switch the sensi since 1.5 years still from past week whiffing too much and got tilted followed by uninstallation

[@BTaesthetics]

haha i think we all have our off days. sleep, mental state all play a factor. usually it doesn't last longer than a day or 2 for me. If you find your aim is off try shooting range/aim trainers before you hop into a game. Usually bad aim is due to getting complacent/going on autopilot. Working on fundamentals will get you back in the mode of hitting your shot and being aware of what you're doing. Hope this helps!

[@spunky1682]

@@BTaesthetics In my case, aim trainer doesn't help much Only what affects is mental state like can't even hit HS from back and eventually several bad ganes in a row. I recently switched from Logitech to Razer G203 to Viper mini Maybe It's due to shape difference or I'm just overthinking. 🫣 By the way great videos man (informative & aesthetically pleasing) Watching since years but never commented. Thanks for replying

[@FreshReviewsYT]

For $11 a switch, they better vacuum my floors, clean my toilets, and brush my teeth.

[@BigWhiteCloud]

they sound smooth lubed and filmed, but the keyboard adds too much of it's character, which I'm afraid is not great for switch sound comparisons :D No offernce to RAMA ofc, outside of this context it's surely a top tier board

[@BigWhiteCloud]

the sound reminds me of NK creams actually

[@bosspapob]

excuse me but how smooth are the nixies compared to black ink v2s

[@JtwasLuck]

Sorry Brandon, when you mentioned Nixies coming back I had to place my order before watching. The build sounded great but c'mon man you know mx blacks sound best with an aluminum plate ;)

[@fentlacedxans]

I'm guessing it wouldn't because of something to do with copyright issues but if they're so scarce, wouldn't it be possible for another company to produce a switch with the same specs?

[@YellowNotThe]

yes, but the composition of the platic cherry uses and the tooling they use drastically change the switches sound and feel. even if it had the same plastic composition just a different mold would make it sound and feel different and vice versa with same mold different plastic. and no one but cherry knows the exact formula to their own plastic i believe

[@brando_100]

That’s what OP blacks are. Intended to be a copy of Nixies, but the exact plastic compound isn’t public
