Yessss!

“The Everglides are gonna be great on…” Names almost every plate.

This is an awesome top 5! Definitely has me interested in 3 of the switches I don't have yet (inks, creams, and kings). The keyboards however did seem to make a huge difference in sound/quality. Would you consider doing a follow up sound test video of them all set in one keyboard, or even just have each of the 5 switches in center row in each of the 5 keyboards to see a big overall comparison for how these switches sound on each keyboard/plate material? If you do a tactile top 5 that's one thing I would like to see. Great content as always and always getting me to spend money on stuff I don't "need" hahaha cheers!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely be making a follow up video with these and possibly some more linear switches. Plate material is a little hard to put together. I'll have to reach out to some companies to see if I can make it happen. I'll definitely be doing the tactile version all in one keyboard though! Thanks again for the amazing feedback Joseph!

@@BTaesthetics Id agree with that. Putting the Alpacas on the Ducky, then other switches on the Iron165 and the Kyuu isnt fair to the switch because the Kyuu and Iron165 will sound better no matter what you put on it. Not very consistent for a sound test and people might be using to determine which switch they like.

Always a treat seeing the switches are in stock!! Awesome video as always brother

I'm kind of surprised that Creams still make it so high, since they are more used for Frankenswitches these days. Still solid, but I think there are some other linears out there that might be a higher ranking, just my opinion though. Solid list!

Another one I’ve been waiting for 😭 let’s go!!!

Definitely agree with everything said about the NK Creams. Took me a few weeks to break them in but once they stopped having that stock scratch a little lube made them like butter. Very strange with the weight on the stock springs too, it feels subjectively lighter than the Tealios V2s I have.

Although this is a great tier list, in my opinion, I would put the lavenders in there and in an updated version, some prevail epsilons as they are SMOOTH. Also im not quite sure whether i should go for the aqua kings or the JWK Lavenders on a TM680 as I am planning to use them stock and lube/film later if necessary

Recently made a board and got the Aqua Kings. So far I'm loving them as my first experience into the Keyboard enthusiast realm. I'll try more switches in the future!

Muted is how I like my linears. I grown out of loud clicky clacky keyboard sounds so that Aqua Kings is perfect for me great video!

Was literally looking for a video like this yesterday.

It may be worth noting that Gateron makes the ink switches in all the different colors, with different weighted springs accordingly. the spring in black switches is heavier than my preference.

I went with durock poms over nk creams. Very similar sound signature and waaaay smoother without any of the effort

Another great addition to the Aqua Kings: RGB is WAY brighter than on the other switches. Recently build my TM680 with Black Inks and didn't expect that it's such a big difference compared to the Aqua Kings (55g) on my Kemove Snowfox. Switched (pun not intended) immediately to Aqua Kings, this time with 62g.

Hello. Can someone tell me what are the differences between 55g, 62g and 67g for Aqua Kings ? Thanks

Why would you go Alpacas over Aqua King for gaming if they got same weight?

Personally, I prefer tactical switches. With that said, I do own quite a few boards with linear switches, and the aqua kings have quickly become my favorite. The black inks and milky yellows were my typical go-to until I tried the aqua kings. I've tried both factories lubed and lubed with 205g0, and I don't think there's a big enough difference in feel and sound profile for me to justify taking a couple hours to lube them. However, I am curious about their QC in the future because they're really close to over-lubing them.
