This was so fun! Thanks for having me in this vid.

How I buy a switch.
1. Spend 3 hours researching switches
2. Finding the switch I want
3. Buy a keyboard and forget about switches

I was trying hard to understand why I'm so drawn towards mechanical keyboards. Now I know it's Pokemon 😌

As a laptop user





I have no idea what I’m doing here.

I’m personally using cherry, blueberry, tangerine, banana slurpy switches on my new custom - it was a small group buy. Underrated linear switches IMO.

Everyone: Red is best for gaming
Me: laughing and clicking in blue

This is the most well composed informational video. It was really overflowing with information while still being simple enough for me to understand, coming from a new switch connoisseur like myself. Thank you!

The way I'd go about it:
- Do you like the idea of receiving feedback when pressing keys? -> Blue or brown.
- Do you like the idea of receiving feedback, but also like the sound of clicky switches? -> Blue.
- Are you concerned the clicky noise will annoy you or other people, but you still want some feedback? -> Brown.
- Do you not care about feedback and just want a fast actuation? -> Red.
Based on that, you can continue looking at the variants of each type. Depending on what brand you choose and whether you go pre-built or custom, your switch options might be more limited. Which in of itself doesn't have to be a bad thing. It can make it easier for you! As Betty suggested, at some point, you have to pull the trigger and give it a go - even if you can't try out everything you're interested in. Only by trying will you know how you feel about it. Just be ready to return it in case you don't.

The thing with Blue switches is that you know if you want a blue switch. I know, because I wanted them, and I now have them. And it's great for all my discord calls, lemme tell you.

As someone brand new to mechanicals this was so incredibly helpful, thanks for breaking down the terminology that was driving me bonkers!

[jinxmix]

I love how betty's personality really came out in the newer videos. Esp the silent screaming 🤣
Been binge watching your content and they're really helpful!!

3: say: i want that one!
4: you have succesfully chosen a switch :D

I love how you make the videos fun and comedic while still being snappy and informative. Not new to the keyboard scene but you really helped to lay out some options for my new build.

[bicycleninja]

I didn't know keyboard connoisseurs were a thing, so I'm glad I found this channel.

[vincentcabalo]

Loved the energy and goofiness. Keep it up. It's really nice to see the progression from your earlier videos.

[michaelcoleman]

I love how in recent videos it seems like Betty is having more fun making these vids. May be just for the camera but it makes the videos feel fun and human. I can only assume (and hope) Jake is having fun too!

[leo_the_be]

Even as a gamer, I really love tactile switches. They just sound so satisfying, plus it doesn't bother anyone.

3/4 into your video yesterday and I decided to come back to it instead and Read your edu- page first before coming back.
But There is still soo Much to learn and understand that I wish there was a store to walk into and survey the all the switches. I know what I want in my head, but that doesn't mean it will be the same in practice.
I found some force charts this morning that should help me, but my big fear is compatibility. =(
Your content is GOLD and I Hope you hit a MILLION subs soon! Many thanks to you and your friends. I appreciate how Randall's expertise played along with yours in this video.

It's been awesome watching this channel grow. Production quality has drastically improved over the last 2 years.
