    Here I'd like to take the chance to say a BIG thank you to all of you - right before publishing this video we reached the 2000 subs on this channel - also literally on my birthday 🎉
    Your support is the best gift for me! Thank you all!
    Also it wouldn't be me if there were no copy-paste issues. :D In the Pros&Cons section: it's a plastic keyboard, not a full alu! Sorry for the mistake.

    Thanks for the video. Are the flamingo switches considered tactile or linear? Would going with the Wisteria switches and the meow sushi caps give a deeper more thocky sound?

    • @thoccnology
      @thoccnology  7 місяців тому +1

      They're linears! Yes, the Wisteria is more thocky, and the MOA Meow Sushi keycap help the thockiness even more! :)

      @@Tarrey4Me Hi! ^^ I only have Gateron Milky Yellows, but the non-Milky is supposed to be very similar to that. So based on this, I'd say the Yellow are the deepest sounding of them all. Regarding type feel and sound the Flamingo is smooth, high-pitched and clacky/poppy. The Wisteria is somewhere between them, probably closer to the Yellows.

    I have this keyboard and I'm not sure I understand what type of keycaps are compatible with it. Do you know which ones are? Thank you for your help! :)

    • @thoccnology
      @thoccnology  3 місяці тому

      The main thing you have to look for when buying a keycap set is that it has to be 'MX-style' or 'MX-compatibe' that means that in the bottom of the keycaps you will see a little X :) That is what can sit on the switches.
      Almost every kind of keycap sets are like that, so no worries! :)

    Hey thocc, congrats on your 2k subs! since you do some switch reviews from time to time, i was wondering if you should change your testing platform to the tint60 but without foams, except the bottom one to prevent shorting. I think that should help accentuate the differences between different switches than the m1 since its an inherently clacky and pingy board without foams. And as for a secondary board for those without alu, I dont think anything can beat the gmk67 in a popularity contest. Maybe you should try out your tint60 without foams that way with different switches. Thank you again for all the amazing content you make in between your busy life 👍

    • @thoccnology
      @thoccnology  11 місяців тому

      Yeah, it's a good approach - I sometimes wonder about switching to a different board.
      But the main reason that kept me from changing is that this way all the switch tests can be compared to each other.
      Also the Monsgeek M1 is a very popular keyboard with a worldwide in-stock access, and which is used by many hobbyists so I feel it'd serve as a perfect comparison for many.
      The closest I got regarding the change was a Zoom75 (which just arrived this week to me), but it might be too pricey and is also 'just' a GB keyboard after all.. :/
      Dunno, it's definitely a tough decision!

    • @thoccnology
      @thoccnology  7 місяців тому +1

      Hi! Almost any keycaps sets are compatible. Only very, VERY old keyboard (and not mechanical ones) are not compatible with modern keycaps sets.
      But if you're unsure, check for the phrase 'MX-compatible' or something similar in the descriptions. :)
      (Wisteria switches are MX-style switches, hence the compatibility)

    Heard that sea salt are too mushy and I really can't decide between Flamingo & Wisteria (linear) switches!
    I never had a linear keyboard before.

    • @thoccnology
      @thoccnology  4 місяці тому +1

      Silent switches are almost mushier than standard switches (due to their silencing mechanism).
      I'd say Flamingo and Wisteria are quite similar, but the Flamingo is clackier due to its top case material

      @@MagnaShadoww Oh, they offer a Tactile version from the Wisteria too! I was also a tactile fan, until I got to try and get used to linears. Now I prefer linear and use them 90% of the time.
      But heard people who can't get used to it, so it really depends on the person. If you think, buy a tactile keyboard and buy an extra box (30-45pcs) of switches and replace only the alpha/letter keys. That way you can safely test the linears :)
