This is the continuation of
THIS thread.
Just a quick follow-up...
I tested some more switches:
MMD Princess V4 Tactile 60g
The DUROCK T1 67g
The Gateron Azure Dragon V4
The Sillyworks X HMX Waverider V2
The Durock Blue Lotus T1
The Gateron Kangaroo
The Gateron Green Apple
The Duhuk Bitter Tea Purple V2
The Gazzew Boba U4T 68g (Thanks @Lando)
The HMX Firecracker (Thanks @Lando)
The HMX Retro J (Thanks @Lando)
The Wingtree Yunie (Thanks @Lando)
Some looked very promising on paper...
Others I was just curious about how they feel.
Setup was the same as the last time...
But I didn't do as much spring swapping so far.
ResultsThe Sillyworks X HMX Waverider V2- Clacky sound (loud and bright)
- Crisp break (like the Box Brown V2)
- Overall a nice switch
The Durock Blue Lotus T1- Sound is more on the thocky side
- Overall they feel snappy
- Strong early bump
- Smooth
- Exellent switch - I recommend!
The Gateron Baby Kangaroo- Clacky sound (not as bright as the Waverider V2)
- Early bump and short travel
- Snappy/Poppy on the return
- Not sure if I like them
The Gateron Green Apple- More on the thocky side (but not deep sounding)
- Early and long "flat" bump (lacks pointiness)
- Don't like them
Duhuk Bitter Tea Purple V2 - Bright sound (almost clicky)
- Snappy break, Short travel, Hard landing
- Unusual, but not in a bad way - More testing needed
The Gazzew Black Boba U4T 68g- Tocky (muted) with somewhat brighter return
- Early bump, nice (but not crisp) break
- Very smooth
- I like them, but they might be over-hyped (plox don't kill me)
The HMX Firecracker- Clacky and on the louder side (hence the name I guess)
- Early bump and crisp break
- Snappy feel
- Fun switch like the Type R, but brighter and crisper
- Spring swapping (+3g - +5g) makes them more balanced
The HMX Retro J - Clacky (bright and loud)
- Short travel
- All bump (but not "flat" feeling like the Green Apple)
- Same flavor as the Type R but with its own character
- I like them very much - Will get more of them soon
The Wingtree Yunie- In between clacky and thocky
- Early bump, nice break, nice return
- Great value - Kinda like slightly brighter and cheaper Type R
Gateron Azure Dragon V4- In between clacky and thocky (more thoky than the Yunie)
- Early bump, nice break, nice snappy return
- Short travel
- I think I like them - Not sure - Need more testing
Durock T1 67g- Thocky (muted)
- Nice break (smooth but not crisp)
- They feel snappy but somewhat "dampened"
- Great value - But the stem is the most wobbly so far
MMD Princess V4 Tactile 60g- Clacky sound (bright)
- Similar to the Boba U4T in feel but tighter and shorter travel
- I think I actually like them more than the Boba U4T - More testing
My Top 5 is still dominated by the Box Bworn V2, Jupiter Banana and Type R for now.
But the Retro J, Yunie, Blue Lotus, Waverider V2, and Princess V4 are strong contenders!
Might take me the better part of a year to come to a final conclusion (if ever). But let's see
