Excellent comparison, you usually find people doing a "review" of a switch by itself (in stock and l+f variations) - which is of limited value if you cant directly compare it to a large range of similar switches. For people building their first (or second, in my case) custom keyboard, and not having a large breadth of switch variety on hand, this is exactly the kind of analysis I'd be looking for to decide which switch to use.
Came across this review a couple of months after post. Gotta say I love the review and the way you respect the time (and probably attention span) of your viewers by cutting to the chase then doing all the detailed sound comparisons thereafter. Bravo!
Only issue with the clear top G Pro Yellows are the seemingly weak top housing, they have tendencies to bend out of shape especially around the LED cutout when taking it out.
This video was super helpful! I've been wanting to build a cheap keyboard for a few months and I've spent a while looking for the right switch. This helped me figure out the right one for me, thank you!
You're punching well above your weight when it comes to quality. I assumed you were one of the bigger keyboard channels that I just hadn't heard of yet, turns out you have
also to note lubing with 205g makes the gpro yellow sounds scratchy and hollow/empty (im guessing something to do with my lube job) but sounds much much deeper thock after using 105g
Nice video man. Gat yellows are arguably best budget linear on the market. I use the gat yellows pro prelubed on KBD67 Lite and it is decent for the price 0.24 USD.
which key type is best for someone who accidentally fat fingers a lot, hitting extra keys n shit. Im on Oetemu reds right now on my k668 and its so annoying, i need something different...is Yellow my best bet?
Just ordered some Gat Cap yellows, I had several other creators refer to them as "budget black inks." Going to put them into my Tiger 80 lite when that arrives.
This video is correct. I got gateron pro milky yellow and its lube is not that good. When bottoming, there’s a significant noise and it does bother when typing. I’ll buy clear top next time.
Has your opinion changed on the G-pros? What switch are you enjoying right now, rather it be a gateron or something else. I’m still so torn on whether to get the Milky v2 or g-pro. I am not patient enough to lube switches but I have modded my brass plate Keydous NJ80 to the max.
One thing I was hoping you’d touch on more about the KS3’s, they’re available in 3 other different color combos I’ve found: black top black housing (my favorite looking), milky top black bottom (through Novelkeys) and full milky housing. In your experience how different do these three sound to you?
Haven’t tried all three, won’t be trying all three. G Pro’s imo are the best Stock, KS3’s are nice if you lube them but G Pro’s have tighter tolerances anyways so I wouldn’t bother because you could just lube over them and it would be a better switch. The differences between them are so minute and the Nylon housing is higher pitched than the Clear tops or milky housing in an entire board
Eh. It’s okay, but not different enough to warrant getting the cap switched over the Gateron Pro series. G pro yellows are just so good, I just got some g pro silvers in for my Ducky One 3 as well!
Love this! Extremely helpful! I know you felt no need to add lube to the G Pro factory lubed, but in the test where you did that, did you remove the factory lube or just add the new lube on top? Also confirming the new lube was Krytox g205g0? Thank you!
ks3 is perfectly good switch having breaking in and lubed. The Ks3 milky top however is just a league above. However what I'm interested about gat cap switch is it's spring and how the typing feels, is it more bouncy due to hella long spring and air resistance
Copped some G pro yellows! Will be my first linear switches coming from Gateron G Pro browns on my Keychron Q1. Really enjoy the G pro browns and was gonna splurge on Black inks for first linear, but then would have to pay three times as much and lube them.
I have a few Akko jelly blacks (unlubed) or should I get some milky yellows with lube? Also if I were to get the milky yellows could you tell me how they are stock and if I need to use 105 lube
The Milky Yellow Pro stock is very good in my opinion, smooth and not a single spring ping spotted but I'm still recommend lube and film them for a more deep sound. I've tested them on KBD67 Lite with PC plate and silicone PCB foam and boiii~, them switches are deep and kinda muted now. They can't even clack lol.
That keeb sounds soooo creamy omg 😮 I’m trying to make my build a bit more creamy/ thocky. I have the Gat yellows in it right now. Looking to do some more mods like sound dampening. I have PBT taller key caps on it for that deeper sound. Anybody have any more recommendations for a deeper tone?
This was a Gat Yellow comparison👁👁 We’ll save Durocks for another day lol. I’m wondering how long I can go without another JWK hitting the channel other than Epsilons
@@TechKile They are on a different level. its worth the video lol. Edit: Plus they give an insight on what to expect from Zeals new switches that are on the way in march.
Why is it 'unfortunately' that brands in the keyboard industry copy things from each other 🤣 As far as my understanding goes it means cheaper prices, so good for us!
Banger video. Swear 99% of the keyboard community do inane comparisons of different switches but don't line them all up in the same way, same position on same board as you've done. Makes it much easier to get a steer as a consumer.
The CAP v2 design is for tighter tolerances (just think about the design mechanically and it makes tons of sense). Allows for less stem wobble. CAP v1 wasn't up to par like the v2. Personally think CAP v2 milky yellows are better than the KS-3 Pro milky yellows that people loved.
Good luck for the rest of your career, this video is so good and useful. You helped me get the right gateron yellow, and conveniently the gateron yellow of my choice, in terms of feel, sound, and performance :D
I love how well organized this video was. I can tell that you really planned out which clips you were going to use, and that really showed. You earned my subscription!
Amazing video man! Ob and also I am planning to buy a 75% keyboard which I need 80 switches for. On amazon it only gives the option to buy 35 per packet, and although there isn't a BIG issue with have 105 switches, I kinda have 25 switches lying around and i think it's a bit of a waste. Do you think there is any possible was to bypass this problem?!

That’s what I try to do! Isolated, everything is great, but when you put them head to head, what’s really worth chatting about.

Good point, but honestly, probably not worth lubing haha

No prob, thanks for watching!
thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make this video! it was so helpful!! 👏🏻✨
I like this video. Short and sweet with the comparison at the end. Good job.
i agreee hands down gateron gpro yellow ftw sounded night and days different when i put it into my k6 poppy/thocky ish
You're punching well above your weight when it comes to quality. I assumed you were one of the bigger keyboard channels that I just hadn't heard of yet, turns out you have
Even de G Pro in stock version sound smooooth. What a nice switch. Thx u, now I know what switch I want!:)
also to note lubing with 205g makes the gpro yellow sounds scratchy and hollow/empty (im guessing something to do with my lube job) but sounds much much deeper thock after using 105g
Thanks for the video man. I was gonna buy the KS3's and block the RGBs if not for your video.
Great vid btw
Nice video man. Gat yellows are arguably best budget linear on the market. I use the gat yellows pro prelubed on KBD67 Lite and it is decent for the price 0.24 USD.
I bought gat milky pro yellows with discounted price 0.11 USD
I get confused on the naming of Gateron switches -- are the Gateron G-Pro yellows the same as the Gateron KS-9 Pro yellows?
which key type is best for someone who accidentally fat fingers a lot, hitting extra keys n shit. Im on Oetemu reds right now on my k668 and its so annoying, i need something different...is Yellow my best bet?
the Gat Milky Stock ones sound like there pre-lubed.
Just ordered some Gat Cap yellows, I had several other creators refer to them as "budget black inks." Going to put them into my Tiger 80 lite when that arrives.
This video is correct. I got gateron pro milky yellow and its lube is not that good. When bottoming, there’s a significant noise and it does bother when typing. I’ll buy clear top next time.
Really good and covered everything I wanted to know about Gat yellows, its appreciated!
Just ordered an Alice Layout with lubed Gateron Yellow Pro 2.0 switches. Thanks for the video.😁
hearing those keyboard clicks is so satisfying and relaxing.
Interesting sound coming out of that milky top, really nice.
I think so too!
This was so useful, bought your recommendation. Thanks!

How does the gateron cap v2 with its newer mold compare to the older gateron cap v1?
Eh. It’s okay, but not different enough to warrant getting the cap switched over the Gateron Pro series. G pro yellows are just so good, I just got some g pro silvers in for my Ducky One 3 as well!
Love this! Extremely helpful!

Thumbnail: GAT
Me: OMG GYATT LES GOOOOOOOOO I WANNA WATCH
No gateron phantom yellows?
When lubing the G Pro, did you remove the factory lube, or did you just put 205 on it?
Can the gateron g pro yellows be used for gaming
G pro yellow vs cj vs epsilon, which is best in terms of smoothness? Also how's the sound comparison?
Cj
Epsilon is best sound
Modded: CJ > Epsilon > G Pro yellow
Stock: Epsilon > CJ > G Pro Yellow
Price: G Pro Yellow > CJ & Epsilons tied.
@@TechKile could you tell me which is better stock? Akko rose red, Akko jelly black or gat milky yellow?
u bought all so i dont have to? or is it "so i cannot"?
I am going to mod my k12 with milky yellow pro switches and add some factory foam coming with the keyboard i hope i dont f this up lol
what kind of gateron does the Skyloong GK61 have? somebody knows?
ks3 is perfectly good switch having breaking in and lubed. The Ks3 milky top however is just a league above.
However what I'm interested about gat cap switch is it's spring and how the typing feels, is it more bouncy due to hella long spring and air resistance
Bro can u help me...do you preferes Epsilon or Cow switches? Theres difference in terms of sound?
Cow switch review coming soon, but I prefer epsilons. Epsilons are snappier
Where did you get your keycaps?
Could I ask where you got your blue and white keycaps from? 5:34
I loved your video! It was super helpful
Cannon Keys! Called winter tundra
thank you so much for making such a helpful video!
is the Gat yellow pros the same as the gateron ks-9 yellow pros? Also thanks for the vid!
Does gateron switches fit in huano sockets?
How would u compare the smoothness of the pro 2.0 vs cj?
So which switch do you think is the best stock ?
My guy stopped using his index finger on the space bar! Nice job Bro
I just gave up looking and bought the Yellow Pro's. Too much variation for such little change of sound.
Just bought some KS9 PRO 2.0's thanks
The mad lad did it
Hahaa 😛
Copped some G pro yellows! Will be my first linear switches coming from Gateron G Pro browns on my Keychron Q1. Really enjoy the G pro browns and was gonna splurge on Black inks for first linear, but then would have to pay three times as much and lube them.
nice choice!
thank god that he didn't do a step by step breakdown of each switch like thank you for just telling us the result lmao
5:00 g pro yellow lubed - 5:12 milky yellow pro lubed
no gateron x?
this man is insane and am surprised that he doesnt have 100k subs atleast already
Waiting for my Cap V2 Golds to arrive 😇
that g pro yellow lubed is amazing
Thank you for making my life easy!
I have a few Akko jelly blacks (unlubed) or should I get some milky yellows with lube? Also if I were to get the milky yellows could you tell me how they are stock and if I need to use 105 lube

Yo why don’t he upload anymore. Dripped like 7 high quality videos and never came back
Do these switches have interference on Northfacing LEDs on Cherry MX keycaps?
Check Keeb Taro video, they comparing both pro switches. Gateron Pro Yellow 2.0 pass paper test on north facing + Cherry profile keycaps.
just earned a new sub
No, Thank you🤍
That keeb sounds soooo creamy omg 😮
I’m trying to make my build a bit more creamy/ thocky. I have the Gat yellows in it right now. Looking to do some more mods like sound dampening. I have PBT taller key caps on it for that deeper sound. Anybody have any more recommendations for a deeper tone?
mans got a baby face (no front i like it)
Can you also do compare all other black gaterons?
👁👁
is the gateron milky yellow pro a newer version?
it is! It's the latest version using a new stem design and housing with tighter tolerances
у меня gateron yellow pro - топовые свитчи, советую, правда если у вас outeme сокет нужно чуть обрезать контакты.
You forgot the gateron yellow ks3-x47 (milky top black bottom)
Okay. Not literally every Gateron Yellow, that is impossible lol. But this should be more than enough to pick one that you like🤣
Hmm but there's KS-3X1 too
Well obviously if it’s a new release lol
G Pro Yellow 205G0
Amazing conparison :)
g pro yellow 205go ❤❤❤
You gotta hit up those new JWick blacks, they are like 25c a switch i think
This was a Gat Yellow comparison👁👁
We’ll save Durocks for another day lol. I’m wondering how long I can go without another JWK hitting the channel other than Epsilons
@@TechKile JWK the new wave for smooth stock switches.
@@joer1502 eh. These compete lol, I have a ton of JWK’s I know for sure they are smooth. But just want to shine some light on more switches too
this is a BANGER
😌
I got cap v2,s
There is one more you missed. The gateron X Yellow.
I did! Honestly, I didn’t think it was worth it to buy some cuz I’m sure they’re similar to KS3’s or the Pro KS9’s so. I suppose I could make some lol
@@TechKile They are on a different level. its worth the video lol. Edit: Plus they give an insight on what to expect from Zeals new switches that are on the way in march.
I don’t understand why they had to make 129282984939 variations with the same name?
5:06 4:24
4:08 , 4:56
g pro yellow almost sound better stock, good video broo
Thanks!
Why is it 'unfortunately' that brands in the keyboard industry copy things from each other 🤣 As far as my understanding goes it means cheaper prices, so good for us!
you forgot one gateron yellow the gateron x switches.
Yeah that one seemed way too similar to the KS3 so I passed on wasting money on a switch with an X on the bottom🤣
@@TechKile 🤣
great video
Wow nice

Thanks! 1 more sub for your :)
thanks! :)
asmr🤩
i dont see a reason to own any other switch
I agree pretty heavily lol

From my experience, it is better to have a couple of extras - I've had 4-9 Ink Black V2s I've had to replace or DOA.
Hey can any one please tell me is the all black milky thcockier than the normal one
