even though i feel thacky and clocky should never become a thing, i feel that it could just be the words on the spectrum. thacky is thock but with a bit of clack. so like a quarter way. not half and half but a quarter more thock than in the middle. vice versa for clocky. when u say creamy tho, i think of smooth well lubed switches to be creamy. not scratchy ig. EDIT: lmao i didnt finish the video yet. fkn glarses callin ppl moist haha. also, as an american, never really saw creamy as gross as i usually associate it with food. like creamy ice cream
Crinacle would've been great for that video because he can make any keyboard fit any of those descriptions with a bit of EQ. The mad scientist antidote to the general 'i don't really know' vibe.
Ive always considered clack as the latch of a door when it’s closed. A thock is knocking on wood. Poppy is like bubbles popping and Marbly is a sort of warbling sound. Im lost on the others.
I always thought we spelled out the sound so if you say Thock a bunch really fast it will sound like a thocky keyboard but say clack it's different but it IS the sound imo.
Reminds me of people talking to wine and coffee. At least for me -- Thock = Low. Warm. Muted. Dense. Rounder Clack = High(er). Brighter. Open. Sharper. Shallower. Whatever it is, I get it. These are nice ways to describe these audio quality. I am new and I got it straight away.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said: “Let there be THOCK” and there was THOCK. And God saw that the THOCK was good. And God separated the THOCK from the darkness. God called the light THOCK and the darkness he called CLACK.
Somebody tell Brandon he has the cables inserted the wrong way in his Starfields. Unplug the cable and rotate it 180 degrees. You have it backwards. That's why its sticking out of your ears so much. SMH
Ik this is old but I wanna weigh in: Thock and clack are opposites and refer to pitch. Poppy and creamy are opposites. Poppy is staccato and creamy is more held or drawn; smoother. Marbley refers to variance and whether there is a perceived “warble” or “wobble” to the switch tones while typing. Otherwise tones are highly uniform. That’s how I use them, anyways
"Thock" was first used to describe the specific sound made by Topre switches. That was back when bottoming out was a bad thing, and tactility served a specific function. Then it was used to describe any Topre-like sound, and later it was extended to mean any bassy-sounding bottoming out. I guess none of you were around then. Clack was just bottoming out. Pop was an audible reset.
Imo thock = deep hollow sound, poppy = an abrupt sound how you get from tungsten switches/long poles, creamy = similar to marbly like you get from the jelly epoch
Dude it's so dumb. I built one just to see what the deal was. I did everything I wanted on my gaming setup so I decided to build a keyboard. I used rubber keycaps and lubbed the switches even dampened the sound etc. I did everything just for the hell of it. Only thing diff was the rubber caps other than that it just feels like any keyboard. There are a bunch of weird people typing on keyboards like its porn to them lol I dont get it. These people are weird af
Please excuse my audio engineer opinion, To me all of this are just words. For trying to tell how the sound like. But the point is full frequency range that human able to hear are enormous number compare to those words. That’s why their meaning are confusing … unless we talk in real scientific terms.
This is the reason why I don't trust those "thocky, creamy" definition. So many men, so many minds about it, and they have their own term of "Thocky, creamy".
Here I’ll answer it. Thock is the bass of a keystroke that is low frequency and not sharp. In fact, the sound comes from the keyboard internals it self rather than the plate or the switch.
Thock: low pitch, tight, bass-leaning sound, slightly resonant. Clack: high pitch, tight, solid sound. Feathery/light-sounding impact. Creamy: fuller, more muted "clack"-adjacent sound, comes across as more surface area striking a non-newtonian fluid. Marbly: Thock-adjacent, tighter sound, less resonance, conveys a more focused point of contact with dense but slightly resonant materials that are rigid. Also I like Keybored's style 👌🏼
Can't tell if this is a joke Definition of onomatopoeia 1: the naming of a thing or action by a vocal imitation of the sound associated with it (such as buzz, hiss)
My attempt: thocky(just deep sound) clacky(high pitch sound) poppy(opposite of silent switches/membrane keyboards, hard plastic on plastic contact) silenced/dampened(like not plastic on plastic but plastic on rubber) hollow(echo/reverb(don't really know the difference)) muted(no echo/reverb) smooth scratchy thacky and clocky just don't exist marbly: combination of: hollow + poppy creamy: combination of: thocky + maybe a bit scratchy + muted
I imagine poppy is a higher pitch thock, and clacky is when it rattles in higher frequencies easily, maybe plastic parts colliding. Marbly would be any of those, but glassy tones. So creamy is like creaky in low tones, slighty distorted throughout the whole travel to bottom? I prefer doodleloodly sounds.
Okay so I never owned a custom mech so far, but from like a bazillion videos These are my definitions: - Thocky = take your hands and clap them together, but not your palms, make them round so that there is a lot of air between them when clapping. Basically forming a snowball kinda hand positions while clapping / or the sound when you close the hardshell case for your glasses (not all make this sound) - Clacky = breaking a chilled chocolate bar in half - Poppy = opening one of those beer bottles with the "plop" mechanism (i do not know the name) - Thacky = do you remember that weird toy what you need to invert, lay it on the ground, and then after some time it jumps up from the ground? That rubbery thing? Like that - Clocky = take lightly warm chocolate and break it (muter lower sound) - Creamy = just punch some big jelly xD LMK if anyone even understood what i was trying to say LOL
I'm going to answer my understanding of each word as applied to keybaords. Thock- Deep sound youll get from more muted configurations like plastic and acrylic cases, POM and PC plates, and lots of foam. Clack- Higher pitch sound youll get from less muted configurations like aluminum boards, brass plates, and less foam. Thock real world would be like taking two big solid bricks of plastic and hit them together. They will make a deeper tone. Clack real world would be like taking the same two big bricks of plastic but hollow them out. Now the sound reverbs through the plastic to make a higher pitch tone. Replace the plastic bricks with hollow aluminum bricks and it'll clack like a motherclacker. Thacky and Clocky are honestly kind BS terms but if you really want to find tune that sound I guess it matters. Thacky is thock but with a little clack. Basically its just not a thocky as thock. Clocky is clack but with a little thock. Basically its just not as clacky as clack. Creamy IMO is not a sound. Anyone who says a sound is creamy is just trying to be weird and meme. Creamy CAN be used to describe the feel. Creamy would mean something feels smooth... so just say smooth. I'm going to add one. Poppy- I think this is what most people want. That cardboard mounted keeb clip is pure pop. Poppy is more of a clack but without any ping at all and the sound is more isolated behind the PCB. Cases have a harder time achieving pop because the closed case design is going to echo a pop into a thock. Pop youll want an open case, zero ping, and some decent muting. I still want to at some point cut the back end of a case out so the entire back is open, then somehow mount cardboard to the back of the PCB directly. This way the sounds of the typing echo through the cardboard and out the back end of the case instead of echoing around inside. IMO I think that will create the best sounding board possible. Or better yet... hack the side walls off a cheap plastic 60% then leave the back and front intact. That might do it.

That's probably the most accurate definitions
Yo Brian. This video was so, so 'creamy n' moist'! By far, your most creamy, moist video ever (are you triggered yet?).
That is all.

@@Metal6Sex6Pot6 What’s so funny about saying “the keyboard hobby” (or keyboard community)??? 🤷♂️
Thanks for coming out for the premiere. This was the most fun I've had doing a video in a really long time!
Here I’ll answer it. Thock is the bass of a keystroke that is low frequency and not sharp. In fact, the sound comes from the keyboard internals it self rather than the plate or the switch.
When Crinacle comes out with his frequency response graphs for keyboards defining these will be so much easier
Thock: low pitch, tight, bass-leaning sound, slightly resonant.
Clack: high pitch, tight, solid sound. Feathery/light-sounding impact.
Creamy: fuller, more muted "clack"-adjacent sound, comes across as more surface area striking a non-newtonian fluid.
Marbly: Thock-adjacent, tighter sound, less resonance, conveys a more focused point of contact with dense but slightly resonant materials that are rigid.
Also I like Keybored's style 👌🏼

I would have loved to see Random Frank P soley for the possibility for a "Your Mom" joke.
