Keychron K3 Low Profile Switches Sound Test

Just received the mechanical switch tester in the mail and thought a little sound test might be helpful for some people.

Column 1: Gateron
Column 2: Gateron Low Profile
Column 3+4: Keychron Optical Low Profile (Hot Swappable)

Wow. Thank you for this! I've been looking everywhere for this!

[Dftne]

Keycaps can drastically alter the sound... Would be nice to hear all of them with them on.

[litieguai]

I like the Gateron low profile red, low profile and sounds quiet

[chelsichica]

thank you for this I haven't been able to find any videos doing anything at all for what I needed!!!!

[mistysp]

Great to see a blue switch without rattle, great video!!!

[mileusna]

Do the same video, but go vertically instead of horizontally :) so it would be easier to compare Keycron optical (blude, red, brown) etc.

well as I am the quiet type I love the red low profile mechanical switch.

[ChrisHalden]

Very useful indeed. Made me change my mind 😂

[rezamochamaddiannagara]

just be careful when you bought the keychron low profile that has "hotswapable" title on it, the "hotswapable" means it only hotswapable between optical switches or mechanical switches. It cannot be interchanged between optical and mechanical

How does this not have 1 million likes already?

Dang I should've gotten the Gateron browns. The optical browns are definitely too clicky -- both in person and on screen. And it's not like I'd switch them out. Damn.

In this video the low profiles sounded nearly just as loud or louder than the regular switches however, I have both low profile red switch and low profile blue switch keyboards and they both sound a lot more subdued and quieter than the regular sized blue and red switches. I don't think the sound is accurate until keycaps are added.

Gateron: 0:01 0:08 0:14
Gateron Low Profile: 0:03 0:09 0:16

still waiting for the silent low profile switches to release

[shiroyukirein]

This video is perfect if you also tried it with keycaps

[seyyedmohammadaminbineshta]

The clicky opticals don't have the satisfying sound of gateron blue
I guess I can't order the k3 with hotswappable and gateron blue it is

[Jmacklla]

Gateron lubed switches are good. Akko lubed switches are good too

[brettchase]

The keychron opticals sound scratchy to me vs. the gateron
