request: es-87 w/ pbt keycaps sound demonstration
« on: Fri, 15 August 2014, 15:41:14 »
I've been trying to find out more about the es-87 TKL, since I'm thinking about getting one w/  mx clears. the only thing is, I can't find a typing demonstration video on YouTube that fits one of these with pbt caps. does anyone own one of these (browns, clears, blacks, reds ) with a set of pbt caps and would you be willing to make a quick typing sound demo? are they practically identitical in sound to a QFR with those caps and switches?

I own one with clears, but my PBT caps won't get here for another few weeks.  :(

I imagine someone here's already got PBTs on theirs. I'm interested in the sound myself.

wow. this adds some more perspective to this keyboard, imo. I love how mellow the sound, and how there's also the definite crunch. that's kind of what I was looking for.

thanks for the help. ^··^

Wow that is indeed mellow.
Watching/hearing that makes me want to get one.
Can you do a similar one with a Filco (if you've got thin pbt caps on it) or I guess even your Realforce (for baseline purposes)

I've got thick PBT Leopolds on my KUL and did a quick sound test for you.

thanks hucifer.  this thread was really informative.  i just ordered a set of thick PBTs.

now I'm tempted to get a kul es-87 with mx clears.  hucifer, is it difficult to avoid bottoming out on the es-87?

it's MX clears so it's harder, but you could always just get some o-rings or soft landing pads.

The board is much quieter than most other boards, so noise isn't much of a concern with it.

EDIT: I'm making a bunch of typing videos right now, so if you keep checking my channel this afternoon you should see a few pop up.

I would say they're on a par with Blues but I can't be 100% sure as I bottom out no matter what keys I use.

I can definitely say that they're quietest mx switches for me, although I haven't tried whites or greys, and that they feel just lovely with thick keycaps!

whites are clicky and greys are just heavy clears/blacks (depends on which grey)

good effort, TS. the QFRs with mx blacks sound pretty good, too. and I'd like to try my hand (literally ) at some 55g topre someday.

tthanks for advising o-rings. I bought two kinds: thin silicon and A50 rubber.
