to anyone interest in a random persons take story and take on them. i bought a set for a kind of junk keybaord i was modding out just for some fun. but when i got them and tried them out i ended up trying them in my hi75 instead. and they blew me out of the water not only are they fun to use and my new favorite heavy tactile switch. but they add a nice bit of chalkyness to the build with just the right amount of clack for me. and it really makes this budget board feel like an endgame build. couldn't recommend trying these switches more. they feel like an evolution in the tactile switch scean and i couldnt be happier with them
I just built my Thera v2 with lubed KTT monochrome chalks and love them. The only thing about them is the plastic legs that go through the PCB are thinner than most of my other switches, so using them to build a plateless soldered build was a little annoying to make sure I had them seated where they weren't crooked. Not sure if the others in the monochrome series have the same sized legs but just something to point out, although it shouldn't be an issue for builds with plates.
Ooh interesting! Yeah now that you mention it, measured with my calipers and KTT legs were 1.49 mm while durock was 1.59, which is a huge difference when considering the tolerances on the PCB… never even thought to check that!
The only KTT switch I've tried are the KTT roses, and they're great. Seriously the best budget switch I've used. They are super tight, to the point that they won't even close with films, and while not the smoothest stock, with a bit of lube they are more than good enough. Plus, they have a really nice sound that you wouldn't expect from a switch at that price.
I use KTT strawberries on my ikki68 and it sounds pretty good and also pretty smooth (prelubed factory). It has a loud sound. One downside is the switch is kinda hard to open. Hope you can make a video on them!
Some soundtests with keycaps such as Shenpo, 21kb, or PBTfans would be nice. I'm using some Mistel keycaps right now because I haven't used oem profile in a while
I haven't tried the cotton candy switches myself, but if you're talking about the loobedswitches switch, then I'd expect the onyx to be WAY more tactile just based on the description!
@@MakerMods I returned 2x Everglide Dark Jades to Amazon when I discovered them. These could be my Tactile Endgame switches, but the price makes me hesitant.
Haha! I think I get discouraged when I see all these other keeb youtubers typing what sounds like 200wpm... or maybe they're just banging on the keyboard?! :O
Because of the initial bump on the onyx, they feel way more tactile than both the Anubis and the u4t! They are lighter, and I haven’t tried spring swapping them because I personally prefer the lighter actuation! Never tried U4T’s with hyper glide bottoms, but that sounds like an interesting switch!
Great review! Your jokes about liking the video always makes me click the button immediately 😂 I am looking for a box switch that is similar in sound and feel to the keebfront doom tactiles, do you have any recommendations? :)
Haha, thanks! Some are definitely more corny than others, but I’m glad I can make you laugh :D so you’re looking for a snappy, muted/deep tactile with a medium sized bump? Does it have to be box switch or just with a dust proof stem?
@@MakerMods thank you so much for answering and yeah those are exactly the characteristics I am looking for! :D A box switch is supposed to be necessary to give the 2u spacebars without stabs more stability in the owlabs chalice 40 :)
I aint gonna lie, that keycap set that you got on that keeb are flames bro. I dont know where you found those at but you are a for sure winner with them!!

cannonkeys revamped site also now has top, bottom and stem material filters too
Oh wow!!! I didn’t see that because I didn’t click the filters button. Thanks for sharing!!

Right?!! I was shocked that these switches and KTT in general are not more popular!
check out the ktt sea salt lemons. super poppy switches, very satisfying.
I’ll check them out! Thanks for the rec!
Pls do PBT too! I don’t have one set of GMK but 5 PBT sets :)
Ok! I’ll start doing one quick abs and one quick PBT!
@@MakerMods you’re a man of the people. Thank u

I’ll take a look!
Ajazz Kiwi when 🗿
I’ve never looked at an ajazz switch, are they good?
@@MakerMods pretty decent, i love their tactiles
I plateau'd the like button. that was too awful of a joke not too
Some soundtests with keycaps such as Shenpo, 21kb, or PBTfans would be nice.

Ok! I have cannoncaps, 21kb and… I guess it’s time to pick up some more PBT options, lol!!
Hello, how would you compare this to cotton candy switches?
I haven't tried the cotton candy switches myself, but if you're talking about the loobedswitches switch, then I'd expect the onyx to be WAY more tactile just based on the description!
PBT are all I use. I don't like ABS. Appreciate being able to add CRAP to my keyboard jargon.
HAHA! Glad I could help :)

This bump is akko jelly sponge same I didn't like it because of the wide deviation
What do you mean by deviation?
@@MakerMods The intensity of the jam is different when pressed
Thoughts on the tactile bump vs. Anubis? I enjoy my Anubis but I tend to use my U4T with Hyperglide bottoms more as I like that slightly lighter feel.
