Zuoya GMK87 (Lubed Akko CS Snow Blue Grey switches, JSJT KCA Profile "Northern Lights") Sound Test

Heya, this is the latest keyboard in my collection, the #Zuoya #GMK87 keyboard and I am using the @AkkoOfficial CS Snow Blue Grey switches that I have lubed and the JSJT Purple Gradient keycaps that I call, either Northern Lights or Aurora depending on my mood, but they just call Purple Gradient on Amazon, LOL. I replaced the case foam with some 3mm poron foam that I had lying around. I also used a spudger to remove some of the rippling in the application of the PET film (which sticks to the PCB). I lubed the stock Plate mounted stabs, but this supports PCB stabs. Tell me what you think in the comments below. Thanks everyone!

Thanks for the sound tests videos! I watch most of them. My only suggestion would be, if you don't mind, maybe a better camera angle lol

[@ChrisJames024]

Yeah, i am going to be working on it. For my Zoom98, I wanted to do a proper unboxing video. I may also put some glamour shots at the beginning or end with some information. Thanks for watching!

@@ChrisJames024 yeah man! I appreciate all types of keyboard related videos. I just started the hobby late last year

[@ChrisJames024]

@@DadTech1981 Yeah, I only have about a year on you, but I have been going deep into the budget end of the hobby since then. Picking up deals where I can, like this one... with the occasional more expensive keyboard, like the QK100 and upcoming Zoom98. What do you like in the hobby so far? (This is a question for you or anyone :) )

@@ChrisJames024 I'm in the stage where "shut up and take my money" when I find good deals and something that caught my attention. Cannonkeys had the Zoom75 in stock recently so I had to pull the trigger. Didn't know much but I heard a lot of good things. It's now my daily driver. I sit in front of the computer more than 8 hours a day because of my job. Somehow I find myself typing more than usual because of the satisfaction the keyboard brings lol now I'm looking to add more budget/mid tier boards like the KBD8X MKIII and QK75N.

Thanks for the video. I don't think those switches have been available for a while, I had to hunt to find them in the listing.

[@ChrisJames024]

Yeah, I love them so sad. I was sad to see that Akko ending the CS line because they were no longer working with that switch producer and moving to someone else (which is producing the Pro v3 switches which are, in every way, inferior) So I ended up scooping up some CS Crystal and some CS Snow Blue Grey, so I had some for when i wanted them. I need to also get some Rose Red somewhere, since I loved those as well.

[@ghost_of_m403]

@@ChrisJames024 Maybe there is a lot of back story I am missing. I haven't used the pro V3 switches yet but I thought they were highly rated. In what ways are they inferior to the CS switches? Thanks again.

[@ChrisJames024]

@@ghost_of_m403 Oh, the ones I tested do not sound as good as the CS switches did. I only tested the Crystal and Piano switches, but they're significantly more clacky than the CS switches and had more spring ping. (Re)lubing them made the spring ping go away, but they just didn't sound as good... And obviously it's all subjective and preference...
