I lube linears with grade 2 dialectric grease, and I absolutely love the feeling more than grade 0 lubricant. Idk, it feels smoother, but heavier although light appliance will do the trick. Anyway, great video.

For me, smoothness is the number 1 priority, and these cap switches sound and probably feel waaaay too scratchy lubed. It would drive me insane if I had to use them, I would probably end up over lubing them trying to make them smooth😅

Tbh even the lube couldn't save it from the extreme scratchy sound. I just hope they will smooth out over time through some kind of break in period, but I did take them out of my board already

@@louisdouvillebeaudoin4035 Honestly I'm not sure. I think the cap switches are the first ones to use this specific mix of plastic, so no previous experience of whether or not they'll lose their scratch over time. I will say that NK creams break in faster than the caps

Just Got myself a Prebuilt Keyboard called FL esports FL680 with Cap yellow V1 ( Clear Top Milky Bottom) . It feels a bit smoother for that clear top housing to begin with. Make sure to do a follow up video in future with Gateron Cap v2 and Gateron Pro yellows. There are so many Gat yellows these days!

I'm guessing from the comments they didn't break in and get rid of the scratchiness? I am looking for some cheap into linears and found the Gay Yellows, which led me to the Cap Yellows. Would you say just to go with the older Gat Yellows?
@AustinV

Yeah I used them for a couple weeks after posting the video still and they sound maybe a touch better? But still definitely noticeable scratch. I think it depends on what you're looking for. If you want strictly smoothness, go for gat yellows. If you like the deeper sound profile and are willing to try breaking them in to get rid of scratch, go for caps

@AustinV
3 жыл бұрын
Thanks! So 3 pin means that on the bottom of the switch, there is only going to be that large circular thing sticking out in the middle and the 2 metal pins sticking out for the soldering connection. 5 pin will have all those plus 2 more little plastic pins sticking out to help keep it aligned better. They don't make a huge difference unless you're gonna build your board without a plate (PCB mount). Most of the time, the plate will take care of aligning the switches (Plate mount)
