GUYEKS Gateron Milky Yellow Pro V2 Lubricated 5pin 50gf Linear Switch for MX Mechanical Keyboard Gaming Keyboard (72 Pieces, Milky Yellow Pro)

Base: Epomaker Aura75 Switches: Gateron Milky Yellow Keycaps: Mintcaps PBT Doubleshot gradient purple backlit OEM Profile side printed Mods: 3-layered Tape (painters, electrical, packing) As this was a barebones build, I'll be leaving a review of each part below in the order of the description above - The base is beautiful! The fact that you can change the keyboard design and the RGB sidelight independently of one another is so nice. There are several modes, though the lack of software with an interface makes customization limited. The stabilizers are as good as you'll need and contribute to keeping a nice sound. It is very easy to take apart for modding purposes and only has about 4 screws past the housing and 2 ribbon cables. If you're tape modding, just make sure you dont cover the switch to change between win/usb/mac on the bottom (shhh I would NEVER do that! :))) ) - These switches really do live up to their name. I was doing my first build, and I was a huge fan of the yellows over several other switches I tried through a few sponsor samples. I ended up switching out my spacebar for an oil king but that was just because I had it so why not, I would not go out of my way to do so if doing another build. Oil kings are a bit too expensive, cherry mx just doesn't sound great to me, panda and lynx aren't bad but less creamy, kangaroos are too poppy, and the lunar mare are nice but not my style (my girl likes them). These are a reliable starting point for sure. - These are by far the best keycaps I have tried; that's between a set of XVX gradient keycaps of the same design for half the price, 3d printed keycaps that I got the blueprint online for, a set of Epomaker keycaps, Pudding keycaps from Glorious, and the g-skill crystal crowns. These feel more premium than that of the similar design by XVX, as they have a good weight to them, a nice matte feel, and don't feel hollow to type on like a lot of cheaper keycaps. The pudding keycaps have a similar feel but didn't fit the aesthetic or color scheme I was looking for. This is the only side-printed, mid-high quality, non-flat keycaps with a decent color variety that I could get my hands on through amazon. The only setback could be that the shine-through on the caps isn't amazing, but i personally didn't want it to be too intrusive. They were bright enough to see the lettering, so that's good enough for me (yes, i have south facing LEDs). Not to mention, the unique font that comes with these keycaps is the icing on the cake for me, the blocky look seems techier, not to mention more readable for me. 5 Stars, no question, worth the bit of extra money.

These switches are an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their mechanical keyboard on a budget. It comes factory lubed and they just look so clean. They feel responsive and consistent, making typing and gaming a pleasure. They are super easy to use and pretty simple to install in a keyboard. The sound profile is pleasant and soft, with just the right amount of clack without being overly loud. The actuation force strikes a nice balance, making them versatile for both casual and competitive use. The only reason I’m giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is their durability. While they’re fantastic for the price, they don’t feel as sturdy as some higher-end switches. Note: They do sound a little more better and deep in person than in the video above Overall, these switches offer exceptional value and performance, making them a great option for newcomers or anyone seeking a reliable linear switch. Highly recommended!

Using the Milky Yellows with the YUNZII AL75 PRO no extra lubing added, keycaps from amazon Microphone used: AT2040 Can’t really complain, sound great and do me good.

These switches sound so good, feels so comfortable to type on too. More quieter than my other switches.

I completely overlooked how important the rest of the keyboard is to the sound. I once had the mindset that the right switches would produce the right sound. I was kind of disappointed with these at first, but I finally decided to listen and actually do something to mod the keyboard. I have a Glorious GMMK 3, and I got a Polycarbonate board. The only foam I left on is the PCB foam between the board and the plate. I covered the bottom of the PCB with masking tape, and only then did I get the creamy sound I was looking for! I'm currently also using flex gaskets. Next step is to get ceramic keycaps and make my thocky dream come true. As for these switches, they feel great, are smooth, and feel kind of plushy! I absolutely love them. They sound wonderful once you take the time to mod the keyboard in other ways, too.
