Testing out all the different switches I currently have on my spacebar. Any bad sounding/weird noises you hear comes from the switch, not the stabs. The HMX switches have some noise because HMX switches don't sound good when lubing the top out parts. But to keep it consistent across every switch, I did it anyways. The Sarokeys BCP switch sounds really bad because it did not have a tight connection to the plate, and was rattling around. If I put a layer of tape to stabilize the switch, the sound would be closer to the BSUN Raw switch.
Switch mods:
Every switch has the same method of lubing and swapped with identical springs. I use TX XL 50g for the springs and Deskeys V2 for the films. I lube each switch on all four sides of the stem only, including legs, with a light coat of 205g0. I lube the top out area of the stem, but I clean the bottom and the pole. For long pole switches, I clean the bottom housing hole where the pole goes into. Any switch that bottoms out via the pole is considered long pole, regardless of travel distance.

Doing the comparison again since last one I only had the alphas soldered. This test both configurations were fully soldered down. After using the 5052 plate for a day, I was able to identify it's weaknesses and today I decided to go back to the kalam stock plate. So from what I can tell the 5052 plate feels and sounds dampened. My switches just didn’t "pop" and the bottom out was weak. And I no...

How to lube, clean, and diamond polish mx blacks
Переглядів 3603 місяці тому
This is what I found to be the best way to lube cherry mx blacks. I see a lot of terrible guides out there on how to lube switches, which tell you to lube the floor of the housing or the center well. Most guides never go over the most important contact points of the switch, thus giving out terrible advice. If any youtuber tells you to lube the center well, the bottom of the switch stem, or the ...

    the Mode Obscura at 65g bottomOut and BsunRaw at 60G bottom are 10g above my limit but i they do sound GOOD and i suppose as a spacebar switch they can work.. thankfully i can't get them ahhaha.. i do have a couple hundred clouds and just bought 105 KD200 .. i do have sum Bsun-x couple hundred so perhaps i can try them for sum spacebars.. bought those on a impulse only my wife like them so i'm not using them so perhaps ill sell them for the same price as i got them. Bsun is not my fav anymore don't know why i bought so many .. hahah i do sum crazy shit in this hobby..

  • @soulfulfool
    @soulfulfool 9 днів тому

    mest details, layering and separation are top, imaging could be also top but soundstage is not that big, bass can be boosted and treble toned down by higher resistance on output (it still has clarity but bass is way better/thicker sometimes even feel like ground is shaking xD maybe its that bone conductor effect)

  • @soulfulfool
    @soulfulfool 12 днів тому

    lot of work with mest because those EST drivers demand a good source and fit otherwise they can cut air like laser, for some genres of music that treble clarity is positive either way warm or not my mest mk2 react strongly for different sources that makes it special just because it can be fine tuned (I like that those EST drivers pick up everything from the background I'm still discovering micro details)

    oddly enough, stock nixies in the spacebar have been hitting for me also I think creams are still 4mm travel since the pole well is deeper than other switches, so it's not long pole like other long pole switches, but it could be pole-bottom-out with 4mm travel, not sure tho

    • @shentobento1079
      @shentobento1079 2 дні тому

      NK Creams are indeed long pole (meaning they bottom out on the pole), but have full travel (4mm).

    This video has an excellent description of properly seating keycaps on stabilizers. This is something that I rarely see people mention in their guides and I'm really happy to see it here because it can have a huge impact on your stabs and it can get your 5-sided dyesub caps working if they're warped. I have some things I disagree with, but it's just because I have different preferences with my stab tuning (I prefer the stab to bottom out, so I clip my cherry differently. I also have a very different lube method that I like). I'm really glad this video exists and I'll be pointing people here.
