TTC Crescent vs Leobog Ice Vein vs Reaper Switch | Aula F75 Switch Comparison

Finally! After many of you asked about the Leobog Ice Vein and Reaper switches, I decided to purchase them to compare how they would sound. In conclusion, they are all equally nice to type on and I absolutely love the typing experience on each keyboard; however there are some subtle differences between how they sound, as you'll find out after watching this video. I hope it is helpful! Leave a like or comment if you like this kind of video and that would help me tremendously in planning what kind of videos to make in the future. Thank you so much, have a great day!

[@zeeeeeezeeeeee]

After watchng this vid I bought the Leobog Ice Vein version as my first custom keyboard! I was going for the Repear switches but it was out of stock so I got the ice and I think i made a better..or thockier decision. Lovin it! Thank you MechWhisper

[@MechWhisper]

Thank you! Enjoy your first custom mech keyboard! :D

[@hibinmaheendran]

Great stuff, exactly what I was looking for. So to get the ice vein one for my thocky feel 🥰

[@MechWhisper]

Enjoy!

[@802Garage]

Finally, someone does this comparison! I have the exact board shown with the Crescent AKA New Moon switches. Honestly, in person it sounds more like the Ice Vein switches sound in the video. Or maybe in between the Ice Vein and Crescent. They have a pretty pleasant sound to me. A little thock, a little click, not scratchy. I think the Reaper switches sound the worst of the bunch, but still good. I think if anyone wants a heavier switch, they should go with the reaper. If they want a lighter switch and the most thock, Crescent. If they want a lighter switch and a little more click, the Crescent. All are good switches and the Aula F75 itself is amazing!

[@MechWhisper]

Thanks for sharing! 🙏

Thank you for using the same keyboard builds. It is 90% of the difference in sound so now we can hear the 5% that isn't the surface material. This sounds like sarcasm, but it isn't.

TYSM fot this video, I need to compare Greywood V3 to TTC Crescent, does anyone know about a sound test with those two switches? If possible aswell in the Aula f75

[@MechWhisper]

The graywood v3 and ice vein switches sound pretty similar in the Aula F75. So you can use that as a reference and rough gauge of how it would sound in comparison to the TTC crescent. I did a sound comparison here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emram6KCfL-sd68si=yXx_E9G3Qv3AcojQ

[@imkir4n]

New to mec keebs, is this a better option to get started with for both typing and gaming? I see you prefer Ice Vein; is that good enough?

[@MechWhisper]

If you’re just getting started, this keyboard is more than good enough. It is hot-swappable, meaning you can change out the switch anytime if you ever need a different one to better suit your gaming or typing needs.

[@abhishekpunjani1466]

Hey, if I use the keyboard to note something down while on a call which of the 3 switches do you think the person on the other end will be able to hear?

[@MechWhisper]

All of them 😅. You should check out some silent switches, for example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6DRqoGImtibh6ssi=O6Md1h-X6ZRLn1HS

[@zhengteng_99]

Sup, do you know how long the spring is on the ice vein? Thanks!

[@MechWhisper]

Hey I just measured it, it's a two-stage spring, 2cm long.

[@armaniexchange7267]

please tell me, exclusively for games, and the quietest switches, which ones to choose from all the possible options:

[@MechWhisper]

None of them are quiet, but for gaming you might want to choose the switch with the lowest actuation force.

[@mitchfernandez4256]

How about the Graywood switches? How does that compare to these since Graywood is also available for this keyboard in where I'm living at

[@MechWhisper]

I’ll try to make one video to compare the graywood switches! :)

[@mitchfernandez4256]

@@MechWhisper Nicee! Looking forward to it

[@pyrimad8]

Yo whats better for gaming and normal work, the reapers or ice vein? I really like the sound of the ice vein but is there a difference in performance in gaming? I see the ice veins have a ± 3mm ,what does that do?

[@MechWhisper]

For gaming you might want to use a switch with lower actuation force, and the opposite for work (imo). I think the +-3mm just indicates that it’s a range as there isn’t an exact measurement.

[@duckwatergaming6139]

Guys vote on which is best I like crescent switch tbh

[@iniquitybdm5820]

if you would rank which switch is thockier among the 3. which one is it?

I’d think the ice vein :)

[@burak5744]

Hi, Is there delay or any issue on wireless mode? I think i'll buy F75 instead of Ajazz 820 Pro

[@MechWhisper]

Here’s the approximate latencies for all three modes: Wired mode: 7.4ms 2.4G mode: 10.1ms Bluetooth mode: 24.5ms

[@802Garage]

@@MechWhisper Did you get your data from Thoccnology? She is awesome!

[@Leonard-in8hk]

Hello, i can’t choose between the graywood v4 and ice vein. On your perspective, which one will you choose?

[@MechWhisper]

Ice vein feels lighter than the graywood v4, the graywood feels more “bouncy” and requires more force when typing which could mean it’s less prone to typing errors. Both are very well factory lubed, buttery smooth.

[@Leonard-in8hk]

​@@MechWhisper Thank you for your very informative response. Additional question: between both of them, which of them has a satisfying sound in the form of a thocky and deep sound?

[@nivasgogineni5147]

Which of these switches is most similar to the Gateron Oil Kings, I have been wanting to get Oil Kings however I don't have the budget for them right now.

[@MechWhisper]

Perhaps the Reaper, its specs are closest to the oils kings out of the three. But still, it’s far away from sounding like the oil kings.

[@bruhhgu]

Are the graywood v3 switches any good?

[@MechWhisper]

They are quite good, factory lubed and pretty smooth.

[@bruhhgu]

​@@MechWhisperAre they better than the ice vein?

@@bruhhgu I’m gonna try comparing them and hopefully I can give you a better answer :)

[@black-night-pictures]

When it's been used, can you turn off all the lights, including that top left white battery indicator? It would be annoying if that light keeps beaming when watching movie in the dark.

[@newjdm]

Try pressing FN + Left Shift

[@MechWhisper]

Yes try dimming the lights to zero as suggested by @newjdm (thanks!)

[@Thegirlwholovesstars]

Question is the gray wood better then ice and reaper or worse

[@MechWhisper]

Personally I feel graywood v3 sounds more similar to the ice vein, check out this sound comparison: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emram6KCfL-sd68

[@AkiraTempests]

which one should I buy the Rk75 or the F75 Ice Vein?

[@MechWhisper]

I would prefer the Aula as it has more switch options and nicer colorways to choose from :)

[@Kenzo-it5hq]

which one of them would be good for rhythm games?

[@MechWhisper]

Honestly I'm not sure! I don't play rhythm games myself

[@budimanv2]

There isn't much difference in actuation force.

[@SassyGeek18]

Which switches is more bouncier smooth for long typing

[@MechWhisper]

Reaper feels bouncier, note that it has a 2-stage spring.

[@ItzDidipon]

What switches are the best in your opinion?

[@MechWhisper]

I like the sound of ice vein most, all of them are pretty smooth and nice to type on

[@natutv27]

Thanks a lot, one question > where i can buy this leobog ice vein switches? Can someone sent me a link please.

[@MechWhisper]

They don’t seem to sell the ice vein separately, but the Leobog reaper they do

[@cooldudep]

Is it icevein or icesoul? I can't find ice vein on ali.

[@MechWhisper]

Ice vein! I don’t think they sell ice vein separately

[@ivanpopov4872]

Which would you say are the quietest of the three?

I’d say about the same, ice vein is less high pitched

Which one is the smoothest the Ice Vein or the TTC Crescent ?

[@MechWhisper]

They’re about the same imo, all come factory lubed

[@pastita05]

What is the best switch for Gaming?

[@MechWhisper]

I think it depends. If you need a lower actuation force for gaming, I suggest the TTC crescent.
