Carbon Fibre gives the highest pitch, which depending on the switch may make it sound louder than the aluminum plate. But it might not be by too much.

its personal preference in how much scratch you want to remove. 1-2M actuations is what I see on the market, but if you are doing break in yourself, you could experiment at 500k intervals if you still want a small amount of scratch.

@@KeebScience oh gotcha. it's the scratch that we're going for. i'll prolly just go ahead and mod the switches right away. thanks for the feedback. this would be my first time. from all the F1 soundtest, the majority go for cherry switches.

@@DadTech1981 they already have polished stems i believe vs the m1xa, u can def go straight to lube/film/springswap imo. i mean i have for 190 of them so far lol. have 3 builds with these now.

@@shylocutus I have 2 batches of MX2A and 1 batch of Hyperglides and went straight to modding L/F/SS all in the span of 2 days LOL

I'll add it to the next round of rebuilds!

love me a good mono set...

I regret not getting this set with the Filo sublegends

@@WakaaYT I dunno, depends on the board I guess, since I find the regular alphas a bit too warm in colour tone.

LOL yea..

a lot of variables go in to this as it depends on overall board design, plate design and its stiffness. Lastly, it can vary from switch to switch as different brand switches have different thickness pins. So some pins may be loose, even on a mill max socket, and will not hold onto the pcb enough. Which over time and use, may cause the pcb to fall off and then cause issues.

Definitely a solid switch to add to the collection. Going to try them in the F1 over the weekend.

this one was made by Monokei to match the Hiro 65 keyboard. Don't think they make them anymore.

I have this build and nope. But it's definitely one of the higher pitched builds.

@@ClackConnoisseurappreciate the insight!

@@ClackConnoisseurappreciate the insight! i'll just solder my lotus on my arc then

so far, V2U & Xinhais for when I want something louder, for other times, hibiscus was pretty good for mid volume level switch.

​@@KeebScience I have Hibiscus lying around unused, so that's good to know. About to build one myself, just won the raffle :3

The keyboard? maybe in a couple months. There's a big batch of these being manufactured right now. But won't be available in this colour as this was a special edition.

Congrats on the W. I would personally skip the PC plate, unless you get a custom one made that adds material back in to support the backspace area of the plate. I have favorite switches for all the three plates I've used. So it really depends on what you prefer. If you like to tinker around, get the CF with your order, and get a custom PC/PP Plate from Hype.

⁠@@KeebSciencethank you for the suggestion! If you had to pick, would you choose pc/pp? Also what are your favorite switches for each plate?

@@tranmeister On Alu, Xinhais or BSUN BCPs. On CF, Hyacinth V2U. On PP, Hibiscus was really surprising to me. MX blacks on CF was really nice too if you don't want that much HMX Clack.

It was a group buy run off their discord. They re-run them from time to time I think,

Did you join the group buy?

@@KeebScienceI am a late bloomer. I just joined the hobby late last year and didn't know much about group buys LOL

@@DadTech1981 Oh, well in a few months or so, there should be some available for sale. So shouldn't be too hard to get one once they finish production.

@@KeebScience That's really encouraging. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Nice videos btw

Yea, I really need to rotate it back in more to my desk.

Yea, its a nice change from the HMX onslaught of switches LOL.

Only solder versions have been made so far.

This is a soldered pcb w/ mill max sockets to make it hotswap.

@@KeebScience Is it as good as the original soldered circuit?

It was made by Monokei for the Hiro, not something they made readily available unfortunately.

previously I had Neons, so I overpowered the sound profile w/ a loud switch. But you can hear it was a bit thin. The 1.6mm pcb i feel evens out the sound and definitely worth getting next time they do another run of these PCBs.

it was one made by monokei to match on of their boards.

Yes, it's a very satisfying sound profile.

I don't have the clouds to compare first hand, but KeebTaro maintains a chart with comparisons between them. Based on KeebTaro's opinion, the Xinhais are louder than the Clouds, but roughly the same pitch/tone.

It holds its own, the tadpole mount style is really good for typing feel and sound. Just like the Frog Mini is so good for its price because of the tadpoles. Its a nice balance between top mount and gasket mount. The only minor complaint would be the lack of any design on the bottom case compared to a Kohaku or a 910.

For this switch, I think PP is the best, CF second and Alu 3rd. I feel the PP plate adds an extra layer to the sound profile.

it definitely is more sensitive to the switch for the space bar. So if I didn't swap switches all the time, I would definitely use a different one for the spacebar. Im thinking it might be how the plate is designed, might have isolated the space bar too much from the top mount spots.

@@KeebScience thanks for the info. I appreciate it. Currently considering if I should pursue it on the aftermarket. :)
