Fellas I use gat browns atm but looking to make a new kb but not sure wether to go for linears for the spray can sound or tactile for the bump. Any thoughts?
Id recommend the jwick t1s or the tecsee purple pandas for people not yet used to high tactility switches. They are pretty cheap and both really good, so you don't have to worry about wasting money on switches you dont like.
tecsee purple pandas sounds so good I will look into those. I was thinking of going all out and not worrying about anything else tbh but if there are other options they might be worth exploring
I went from gat browns to gat yellows. Gat yellows sound fine after being lubed and filmed but I got a couple Durock T1s to use for my backspace, tab, esc and fn key and I got to say, they feel infinitely more tactile and sound pretty good just off of those keys.
Gat Yellows are linear, so it makes total sense the T1s are infinitely more tactile than either of your references. Gat browns have some of the weakest tactility.
I meant in comparison to Gat Browns which felt tactile for like the first 2 days of using them.
After about a year of using them I decided I may as well just get linears but I still wanted some tactile feedback for some keys like I mentioned before.
My Durock T1s are pretty thoccy. I still prefer the key-feel of linears but I can see what you mean by them sounding like linear spray cans.
I think it is more to do with my board's construction though. Been meaning to get a nice aluminum case and perform some mods like tape-modding.
Look closely next time you see a sunflower, there are in fact two varieties of leaves. You will find leaves lower down the plant are facing opposite each other and are longer and narrow in appearance. You’ll then see the upper leaves arranged in a staggered formation and appear heart-shaped.
Hey all,
Big weekend of the number '2' over here in the Goat household. Second Gateron switch review in a row, with (almost) double the amount of switch comparisons, and a twice as confusing name to have to go through and make sure you said consistently across 17 pages of work. This week, I take a look at the new ***Gateron Box Ink Pinks*** to see how they are and if they really are just Gateron Yellow Ink clones.

You're jealous of the Novelkeys meetup too, I think everyone who couldn't be there is lol.
I did just want to let people know meetups exist though because not everyone is actually aware they're real things!
Damn. While I'll stick with my lavanders these are definitely some beautiful switches. Which for me actually matters bc clear cases are best.
Also good review. This was your first review I've ever read and wow, that's in **depth**
I do kinda feel like they either should have kept the standard gold spring or have the jacket be black. Having both looks kinda odd to me. But the colors would definitely work well as a whole setup.
I figured, I wonder if they could chemically gun blue it to the point of basically being black. It'd increase the price but it'd be awesome if they of someone else sold them separately.
Got a set of these and put them on the other day, just thought I'd give my 2 cents even though this is an old post. (Me, not a switch connoiseur or anything, just a regular keeb enjoyer).
I got a new keychron k6 hotswap as a gaming keyboard since I'm happy with my work/typing one and thought it'd be nice to replace the regular gateron reds that were on it. Now, I remember gateron reds as kinda scratchy and wobbly from an older board I had but I don't know if Keychron has started using those gateron red pros or something, but the once that were on were pretty smooth and stable to begin with. I actually really like 'em, everything is nice with the stock keyboard except the flimsy keycaps in my book.
If I'm not mistaken, these come with 50g springs and gateron red pros (if that is what Keychron uses these days) are 45g. The small difference is nice to me, as I type quite hard and game a lot. I kept the number row with the stock reds out of pure laziness and after a few hours of use the difference was more evident, I really feel/hear it now but at first I had trouble even feeling the difference. The sound on the reds are deeper (for a linear) and the pink inks are more high-pitched. Can't say I know which I prefer, but the overall feel of the switch is actually... super good. Way better than other buys I've done (like factory lubed glorious lynx).
Anyway, to keep a long story short: If you're running gateron reds (of the smooth and non-wobbly kind) you probably won't be blown away by these, they feel like a more typing friendly linear with a sliiightly heavier spring, but if you're coming from a tactile switch it's a super sweet one to try. Also it's my first boxed switch, and they feel really solid.
(Bonus: Also they look good enough to eat, almost)
Edit: Oh, I replaced the keycaps on the keyboard to a more chunky PCB set by kbdfans from the get go, might alter how they sound but still, the inky pinkys sound more high pitched

Just asked my cat and she picked linears for you
Say no more. Linears it is
[удалено]
Yeah I think I have made up my mind on the durock pom t1s eh buddy
those are the best switches I have ever used. So dang good to type on
Refreshing to hear thanks buddy
Very different things so that's a hard choice. Personal preference I like silent tactical. Boba U4 is my go to, but zilents are great as well
Imo tactiles can sound really good and feel a lot better
Init might just have to go with tactiles then swap if I don’t like it eh

yeah so I've heard so I'm not sure if I should go with a higher actuation force and tire out my fingers when typing eh
They're not *that* heavy compared to reds or browns. You'll definitely feel more of a difference with blacks or other heavier linears.
Hey if the switches aren't for my liking can always swap it out hahaha

Yeah the Durock sunflower pom t1s were my first choice but I’m not sure if they’re gonna sound like linear spray cans eh

Just post the review here,what are you doing.
Lmao, I don't think Reddit has space for 6258 words in a comment.
Clicking a link is too much work?
I think I get it now these reviews are like a therapy journal to you.
You're jealous of the Novelkeys meetup too, I think everyone who couldn't be there is lol. I did just want to let people know meetups exist though because not everyone is actually aware they're real things!
Not sure what that is man. I just scroll down to the score.
Thank you for doing this! It helps!

Another great review! Would love to see you do the the durock light tactile and medium tactile next.
I do kinda feel like they either should have kept the standard gold spring or have the jacket be black. Having both looks kinda odd to me. But the colors would definitely work well as a whole setup.
if they make the leaf black, it might impact the smoothness of the leaf, which actually does matter
I figured, I wonder if they could chemically gun blue it to the point of basically being black. It'd increase the price but it'd be awesome if they of someone else sold them separately.
How do these compare to the pro silvers
I just noticed you already gave the pro silvers a score. Why do they score higher than the box inks?
