Find the BEST LINEAR Switches! 50 Switches Sound Comparison | Part 01
Ғылым және технология
Here's the 2024 Ultimate Linear switches Sound Comparison on the same keyboard! This video is the first part of a two-part series. In this first part, I have made a Sound Test compilation of 50 linear switches on the same mechanical keyboard, testing each one individually back to back with a GMK keycap and a microphone placed at 5 cm.
There are Akko, Epomaker, Gazzew, Chosfox, Cherry, Gateron, Durock, Everglide, Outemu, Kailh, Ajazz, and many other brands of switches tested in this video!
In the second part, all these 50 linear switches will be tested back to back on the same keyboard while typing with GMK Hennessey, BIIP 2048 MT3, and Maxkey Black SA keycaps!
Here's the video: • Find the BEST LINEAR S...
Over 500 hours of testing, filming, and editing were dedicated to this project, spanning more than a year of work just for these 50 switches! My head spins a little when I think about it... While video quality may vary over the year, rest assured that all switches have been tested under consistent audio conditions

No chatter, no nonsense, no "entertainment"; just a proper close-up, a sound recording with visual feedback, and then a whole across-the-board comparison on key qualities. This is _exactly_ how I'd want this.
@Lishtenbird

...pressure graphs might be the biggest thing that could improve these comparisons, _especially_ for tactile switches, but given how inconsistent reporting from manufacturers is, that'd require a whole separate setup with proper equipment. So, yeah.

Really appreciate ur content, ive found ciy switches (mainly naraka) that have rly good specs and pretty cheap price so it would be pretty cool to know if they're actually better (mainly smoother) than something like gaterons g pro silver or perhaps newest kailh box icecream pros.

I think Akko Cream Black Pro sounded the best, with Akko Piano Pro coming in 2nd. Wisteria v2 was close, but it sounded more "flat" than bassy. I like rich deep thocky sounds, none of that high pitch stuff. Which one did you think sounded the most thocky?

U can see the Cherry MX Black housing moves quite a bit when the switch is pressed. That's some lousy ass tolerance.
