This was the exact comparison I was in search of, MX Blues vs Jades vs Clickiez. Clickiez are on sale currently but still comes to 3 times the price of the Jades.. ouch. Thank you for the video!
I have some of these as well, and I do have to say your mic captured the sound near perfectly. These are 99.9% exactly what mine sound like in hand and in a keyboard.
That's really good to hear, thanks for letting me know! I was hoping with the new mic and everything, I could be as accurate as possible moving forward :)
Thanks! I need to find the sweet spot for the gain, my levels seemed fine going in but I think the audio came out a little hotter and had a little less headroom than I would have preferred.
Wow looks like mx style clickeys are finally catching up to vintage switches in terms of tactility but the price $1.50 per switch is kind of steep this will most likely be reserved for dedicated enthusiasts in the hobby. For most people who want a more expensive switch a franken is probably a better bet unless you like clickeys
I'm interested in getting the Clickiez 40g, but I'm concerned I might find them TOO tactile or fatiguing to press down. Do you think they feel as heavy as a Box Jade or a Box Navy, or a little lighter?
They are extremely tactile, but I don't think they're as fatiguing as a Box Navy since the spring in a Navy is heavier. I'd say it's more in line with a Box Jade in terms of effort. The 40g are manageable but the 75g are definitely too much for me to use across the whole keyboard. It helped to have the 75g on modifiers to help the return of the key press, especially the spacebar.
@@TyKeysi use 72g linear switches, im not too familiar with the feel of clicky switches, would the 75g clicky switch be compatible to the 72g linear switches?
@@iamNazrak for the Clickiez there is minimal pre-travel before getting through the click, which (based on Zeal's force curves) peaks around 105g for the 40g variant, and 110g for the 75g variant. Once you pass through the click itself, that's when the remaining ~2.5mm of travel reflects the spring weighting of a linear (with regard to the force curve). However, in actuality you're already pressing hard enough to get past the tactility of the click, so you're gonna bottom out fast regardless. For reference, 60g 22mm springs are my sweet spot for linears, but I've gone up to 72g 17mm with the Zepsody Bluebonnets (which I enjoy). I prefer the 40g over the 75g Clickiez because I find the 75g more fatiguing to type on for a long period of time. Your preferences may differ from mine though, given you like using springs 12g heavier than I do. For what it's worth, I found 75g to basically be a necessity on the spacebar and modifiers to have strong and consistent returns on the key press. The price is brutal for these switches, so I completely understand the careful decision making. I hope this helps!
Any thoughts on the comparison between weighting for the Kailh Box Jades? I want to try the Clickiez, but I’m not too sure whether I should go with the lighter or heavier ones
I wouldn't say better exactly, just different! Everything is preference at the end of the day, but I do think they bring something different to the table for MX clickies compared to click jackets and click bars. I personally enjoy Clickiez the most, then something like jades or box whites, then blues.

Great vid, and another thumbs up for the simon shirt ;)))
Thanks! We do a little simping for Simon here ;)
New mic sounds great!

The 40g will be more in line with Box Jades in my opinion, the 75g Clickiez are pretty heavy and more fatiguing to use.
Are they better than Kailh Box Jades or Pinks? Those two are my favourite clickies atm

@@TyKeys Hm okay I'll give em a try 👍
Nice vid
i got kalth Glazed green.
sadly I didn't seen comparison of em, but these zelios sounds fun!
Anyone know if these are factory lubed?
There's no factory lube on these 👍
For that you get a purple and 5 blue studs
150 euro for 80 switches shipped to the eu 🤣🤣
I came because I wanted to torment my ears.
These are stupid loud and I'm kinda into it
@@TyKeys welcome to the clicky gang! ^^
