Reply to comment by SubwayPickle in the best linear switch by Heblehblehbleh

I already ordered a brass plate with the pcb, how will that affect sound? I will also do plenting of modding, my case will be resin, pbt chery profile keycaps, and ill get plate foam, switch pads, hand lube switches, switch filmed, and maybe even a silicone pour

Outside of actually trying the switches, the sound profile im looking for is like the Tealios switch but the feel from what I have read would be the Banana Splits.

Ok. Brass is stiff- I'm sure you know that. From experience, it sounds (stronger) for lack of word than softer plates such as fr4, pom/pc, it sounds flatter and deeper than aluminium

Regarding the switches, I am so so sorry but could you elaborate on what a 'tealio' sound would be... for feel there are 3 (?) main factors- weight (spring), smoothness and stem length (or bottom-out). A banana split I'd assume would be medium weight, smooth and regular length.

Again, I'm very sorry if I'm spewing too much info

The second kb is Tealios The third keyboard is Banana Splits

I personally rank the tealios barely ahead, with the Banana Splits still a very good sounding choice

I am looking for something that is almost "creamy" in sound. However I think i might need tactiles for that and im not into tactiles at all.

Mmm ok one thing I forgot to mention tho is that switch attributes rather little to sound, sound quality mainly comes from the keeb case and plate. While switches impact this, I don’t think it is as important as the keeb itself. I also want to say it is going to be difficult chasing a ‘creamy’ sound with a brass plate- look more towards Pom
