Going out for a walk on a nice, sunny day can really clear the "cobwebs" out of your head. If you are having problems, a walk can help you see things from a different perspective.
yooo this switches sound great
looking at the sky on sunny days are the best
I'd love to see a tutorial of some kind which starts to unpick the theory behind Frankenswitches if you get the time pal. No worries if not. Love your content regardless.
TofuTypes (here on youtube) actually has a great guide on his channel that walks through some basic material qualities and compatibility across different switch manufacturers. Highly recommend it!
That sound of those frankenswitches is so interesting bro, i really want to know what brand is that stem belong
This keyboard is sick !!!
Just tried these frankenswitches but with v3 sp star bottoms instead of the v2s. Put them into my shelby with alu plate and they are intense ngl
I remember watching this stream, I wanna grab myself a Snake!
Was interesting to hear Alex talk about the Keycult he bought aftermarket for 2k. Knowing that's probably CAD or USD, that hurts my Australian mental wallet immensely haha. The most I've ever been prepared to spend on a board that I really did genuinely want was 1350AUD flat for a Dalco 959 Mini, and I'm happy that I decided to do so because it's a board I've always wanted, but it wasn't a decision that I came to lightly
Those frankenswitches slap too btw, even just Cherry-topped SP-Star Meteors are king
Had to change pants when that sound test hit
I made this switch before but with a Baby Kangaroo stem, they're pretty cool I guess..
7:49 i was indeed right Pog
When I thought this hobby is reaching to its limitation, i discovered new things. I've come to an endgame in board, i'm now venturing into switches world.
Yo can you buy those switches? Or do I have to get all the individual parts?
Individual parts and for the bubble stems, zaku stems or geon black stems would be the closest replacement as bubble switches are no longer stocked
The IEM look very interesting, which are they?
Campfire Andromeda (Not the latest version)
Isn’t it another BCP? Thicker Nylon bottom and hard-longer POM stem with the Cherry MX top housing. But it is Tecsee stem, which is softer stem, so the sound will be louder and not such clear push back like MX cream
O! U can even use P3 stem (from JWK Cobalt blue) to achieve louder sound profile
it actually indeed sound like a bcp on any gummyoring board
Yeah its a variation material wise but you will find out that not all nylon, or any material top, bottom or stem will give off the exact same sounds when mixed together and also stem length can change how things feel and sound as well. The difference in sound may be minimal or quite different depending on what all is used. At the same time though I use what I have on hand to try and have as little waste as possible also
@@WinkleKeebs yep, Wuque MM stems come in P3 as well. LY also works well on nylon bottoms
Weird question, why are the windows keys missing from some keyboards?
For aesthetics
Nowadays its aesthetic but it comes from when keyboards were not just for personal computers and were connected to machines and just didn't have a Windows key
This is my grail case
What earphones is he using they look amazing!!
Campfire Andromeda IEMs
Guys, I need some helps, I cannot find any info about bubble switch :’)
What type of board did u use?
It is a Parallel Snake
😍
Mais um vídeoooooo🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Can anyone link me to what is the bubble switch? So I can salvage the stems haha
I’ve tried to find them before as well from when this same viewer sent him bubble stem Cthulhu’s. It seems to be a no longer manufactured tecsee switch.
where can i get these switches?!
do it by yourself maybe :))))
those remind me of bcp
Nice and loud
What is that desk mat ?!?!?
👋
@@keebmat 👀👀 that mat is fire
What are bubble switch? I can't find it online.
Yeah i wonder what that is too lol
Should be the bubble switches by swagkeys, i think they are zaku recolors
@@cristerronaldo_sewy I figured. Thanks. I have Zaku and just tried cherry top with Zaku Stem. However Zaku stem is too thick for cherry top. they fit too perfectly that it doesn't move freely. sluggish topping. I don't understand how Alexotos managed to use cherry top with that stem, unless he used the strong spring.
@@kimizle zaku stems will work with cherry tops but some of them will have issues tolerance wise. Even when I made the switches in this video some cherry tops gave me issues with some of the bubble stems. Bubble switches were from Swagkeys but they have since decided to no longer restock them
@@AlphaTenkai I see. Thanks. so I assume that this franken requires lots of extra spares to mitigate the sample variances. sounds way too expensive considering we are already mixing 3 different components.
SNEK board!
are they re releasing the snake soon?
Colour wise it looks like the Alpacas but the colours are inverted lol.
how do your keybaords sound different, they sound very clacky and good , if they actually sound how they sound in the video , you did an amazing job
Good work , love you content
His desk material and room resonance is probably why. But yeah, boards sound phenomenal in his room haha
@@eekee3 yea exactly , at this point I have tried so many mods on my keybs to make them sound like his , but glad I learned so much about the keyboards with it
@@meh9665 sadly most of the times, it's about the keyboard + plate + switches + keycap material combo and not about the mods added when it comes to some sound signatures.
@@miggy6258 I completely agree , what he does is amazing , I was just pointing out the face how good his keybs sound compared to irl sound tests of the same keybs
@@meh9665 ohhh true true! Understandable then 😁 it is indeed amazing how clean and crisp he's able to take the sound tests and how clean it always ends up.
that is unapologetically loud, gotta be honest, in my opinion, it needs some foam, lovely sound signature though!
Foam will ruin the sound of this board
how much would these switches cost to build lmao
Including shipping from the various places as finding all the parts from one site would be a chore, probably around $1.50 - $1.75 a switch would be my best guess (could be off depending on current prices and sales)
SP Star Meteor series runs around 55¢ ea, Cherry MX series runs around 40¢ ea, Bubble switches were about 70¢ ea, aftermarket springs come out to around 10¢ ea, films 8¢ ea, lube used judiciously around 2¢ a switch, and not counting labor and love, it'd be around $1.85 not counting shipping and taxes
I didn't take into account lube but I will say I got my bubble switches for 40¢ each and Zakus will run about 45¢ a piece but yeah could be anywhere from $1.50 - $2.00 depending on prices at a given time
first
Eff it-- I'm saying it. I hate PC.
I'm using a PC plate in a Matrix 8xv3 and it sounds like trash. Alu and PR4 any day in anything. I have an Endless-80 with a PC plate that sounds pretty good but otherwise, it's my least favorite of all plate materials. It sounds like plastic. I pay a premium for my keyboards to not sound like a Razer.
there is truth to the sun exposure bit. scientific truth, in addition to that feel good beautiful stuff. many would be or feel better if they got direct sunlight everyday for the amount of time you mentioned. happy you are pushing that as well as fire builds
