I’ve covered the history of the Ink switches pretty extensively and thoroughly in my Box Ink Pink switch review, already. Given that the new Gateron Oil Kings feature Ink-housing material in the bottom housings, though, one could easily argue that I should go through and do an extensive breakdown of the entire Gateron Ink family of switches in its glorious in entirety. One of the subtle great points about writing reviews on very, very recently released switches is that I can shave down my time on both the researching and writing of the ‘Background’ section of them in one ultimately efficient, totally not time-crunched fashion. Do remember, though, that I am but one opinion in this very wide hobby and far from the infallible, singular voice on switches. So with these here (and all of their normal links under the ‘Archive’ tab at the top of this page), I appreciate anyone who enjoys my content enough to want to share it in any capacity and am absolutely okay with it.
#Black ink switches full
This not only contains all of the scorecards that are shown at the bottom of long form reviews like this one, but over 75 more exclusive switches I’ve not written full length reviews on. Finally, and most recognizably to my audience at large is that of the Scorecard Repository on Github. This Google Drive folder contains a couple hundred photos from my Instagram, Twitter, and reviews that are completely usable by anyone for any purpose. The next piece of content to be pointed towards is my public usage Photo Vault.
This sheet contains all of the switch measurements done in full length reviews as well as over 50 other exclusive switches, comparisons of each dimension by vendor, and some more fun charts for the data nerds out there among us. The first, and definitely least trafficked is that of the Measurement Sheet.
#Black ink switches update
In addition to the full-length reviews that I have posted here, though, I do also want to point to another few sources of content that I regularly update that may be of usage to you all here. While I do kindly request that I get credited when I am quoted, cited, or any of my content is used in any fashion, I’m not the police and I won’t come after you over it. I’ve always wanted anyone willing and interested in providing money of any amount to do so of their own volition and not under the guise of getting access to “special” content. Even my Patrons on Patreon, without whom I wouldn’t be able to buy and talk about so many of these awesome switches or technology which is (and will be being) used to create these reviews, don’t get any exclusive content.
#Black ink switches free
As a result of this very valid concern, I wanted to carve out the beginning of this review to remind all of you reading this that my content has always been and will always be free and openly accessible to anybody in the community who wishes to use it. (If the sound is actually the same, then I’d probably want to try the Red weight next.While I was and still am quite giddy about the honor of being quoted on an Aliexpress sales page, a few people who had seen it reached out to me in concern initially about Gopolar doing such as it doesn’t appear as if there was a direct link back to my work. My question is do different weights of the gat inks produce different sounds? Considering they’re both ‘inks’ shouldn’t they be made of the same material? But it seems like in the recordings that the Blacks are almost always thockier sounding than Yellow and Reds (although there might be a mic difference). I also have a board using U4T’s (and maybe because they’re tactile, but I seem to type more accurately with those) and a Niz Plum at 35g (which is just a pleasure to type on because they’re so light) which I type easily without thinking. On the other though, I’m sure it’s just a learning curve thing, which might get better with time (or who knows, maybe the even heavier switch will make it even more accurate?) Does anyone switch between their Yellows and Blacks (or similar force activation linear switches?) find any difference in their typing accuracy? On one hand, I’m a little worried that the problem might be exacerbated with the Black Inks if the switch is even heavier. I am currently typing on my Silk Yellows and sometimes I still mess up typing because I don’t bottom out and sometimes I miss letters.
My slight concern is that it might be ‘too heavy’. From all the sound tests out there, it seems like the Gat Black Inks v2 are one of the thockiest sounding switches out there. Hey everyone, I’m thinking of building my next keyboard and I’d like a thocky sounding switch.
