EPOMAKER KTT Baby Series Mechanical Switches Set, 45 Pieces, 5-Pin Switches, Linear Switch for Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (Pink)

These switches are really nice for the price. They are light to press and have a very noticeable tactile feedback that I love.

The KTT Baby Yellow switches are not factory lubricated and come in at a 50g operating force which is perfect for me. They feel fine when using them stock but have a somewhat noisy clacky creamy sound signature to them, but they really shine after hand lubing them. Once hand lubed, the noise is cleaned up and the switches gain a creamy and ever so slightly deeper sound signature, and they feel much, much better. As with all of KTT's other switches, these will also fit fine in Outemu-style sockets when the two plastic legs are trimmed off, and they also use Outemu-style housings. I think for the price, these switches are fairly nice but I would really only suggest them if you do plan to hand lube them to bring out the best in them.UPDATE: I bought more of these to use in one of my older keyboards with outemu-sockets, and they are working fantastically in that board. They sound great, and the great price made it a no-brainer. Good job, KTT!

I like both tactile and linear switches but have been experimenting with more linears these days as I'm more focused on gaming. These days I stick to the 50-70g force range as my personal sweet spot for gaming and typing. I've tried nearly all notable Cherry MX varieties except whites and clears and in my current rotation are Boba U4 silents, Holy Pandas, Gateron Oil Kings, Matcha Lattes, and a few various other Outemu switches (with WS Morandi and Silent Tactiles coming soon.).I've always wanted to try the KTT Halu Halo switches so KTT has always been on my radar and once I saw my opportunity to test out some budget switches from the company, I immediately went for it. These KTT Baby yellow switches are a bit more higher pitched than my Oil Kings and similar in smoothness. It's a bit of an unfair comparison since the Oil Kings are considerably more expensive, but these Baby yellows are a worthy alternative to Gat Milky Yellows which are similarly priced. Since I only have 45 of them to test for review, I suppose I'll keep them around for a macro board, a 40% keyboard, or perhaps to replace (only) the alphas on a larger board. They're not the cheapest amongst their linear competitors but they're certainly better than the red switches that come included on many off-the-shelf boards so they'd be a decent budget option for a new build. or as a basic upgrade for a pre-built keyboard. Combined with a well foamed/muted keyboard, this could generate a great sound profile for many people.

I'll admit that I'm a member of the linear crew, but lately, I've been trying out more tactiles. My first board had Cherry MX Browns, and just let me say, MX Browns are terrible. Like, better than a membrane board, but bottom of the barrel for a mechanical switch. I've tried Gateron Baby Kangaroos, Boba U4Ts, and WS Browns as well, and I've actually got a box of the Baby Kangaroos on the way, so yeah, they're growing on me.These KTT Baby Blue switches are actually really good. I don't know why it says they're pre-lubed, cause I took one apart and there was no lube to be found. I lubed up the rails and the sides of the stem (avoid lubing the legs on tactiles or you'll lessen the bump!) and man, these are smooooth and deep. The bump is not very big, but it's got just the right feel for me. I was a little bummed that they used the Kailh-style housing when I took it apart for lubing, but this was the first time I've had zero issues opening one of the "two pronged" switches with a switch opener.Pricing on these is rock solid for a 45 pack, so as long as you're willing to hand lube your switches, these are an easy win if you like tactile switches on the lighter side.

The keycaps came in just as described and they are super tactile. Very distinct switch press and good spring force on them. While there is a small amount of lube in them its a very small amount and i will be adding my own to get it to be even better. overall they're really good value for the price but youre going to have to lube them yourself to get the most out of them.

The Epomaker Ktt Baby Series Mechanical Switches have truly captivated me with their exceptional performance and aesthetic appeal. This set of 45 pre-lubed 5-pin linear switches in a charming pink hue not only adds a touch of elegance to my mechanical gaming keyboard but also elevates the overall typing experience. The switches' linear design provides a smooth and consistent keystroke, making it a delight for both gaming and everyday typing tasks. The pre-lubrication is a thoughtful touch, enhancing the switches' smoothness and ensuring a quieter operation, which is particularly appreciated during intense gaming sessions or late-night work.Beyond their performance, the attention to detail in the Epomaker Ktt Baby Series is evident. The switches are carefully packaged, and the inclusion of 45 switches in a set ensures that I have plenty for customization or future projects. The 5-pin design adds stability to each switch, reducing wobbling and contributing to an overall sturdy feel. Whether you're a keyboard enthusiast or a gamer looking to add a touch of personality to your setup, these deliver a winning combination of style and substance, making them a fantastic customization for any mechanical gaming keyboard.

Honestly you cant beat the price. I really like the weight of these, they are a bit harder to push down than others I have used. Right now I am using another brand and you can see it's adding double spacing to my typing but when I use these baby series, I am not getting that problem. Great quality would buy again!

These (white)linear switches sound great right out of the box. Speaking of the box, they're packaged well and none of the 45 switches had a single bent pin.I swapped them on to my spare hot swappable keyboard to test them out, and really do like both the sound and feel of the switches. I didn't like them quite enough to replace my current Akko Wine Red switches, but it was really really close.For the current asking price these are absolutely fantastic switches.

Put these switches in a EPOMAKER x LEOBOG Hi75,.I am totally new to barebone keyboards and switches so had to do a little reasearch to find which switches would fit.These KTT Baby Series switches went in easy, just a little force and they clipped into position.These are entry level switches, feel and sound very nice for typing and gaming, switch activates right at the top of the press and has an iconic Creamy Sound, I am not sure what a iconic Creamy Sound is but they do sound good to my ears.I bought two packs, 90 switches, which was enough for 75% keyboard which has 84 switches and I had six left over.

Before reading my review, I do have some biases/preferences with respect to mechanical keyboard switches:* The mechanical keyboard hobby is a rabbit hole that can be hard to dig yourself out of. All of the people online have strong opinions and will express them as "the only way" people should do things. I like mechanical keyboards, but I'm not a fanatic so things that matter to me might not matter to you and vice versa. I subscribe to the "you do you" philosophy of building/customizing keyboards.* I don't want to hear my keyboard (and I also don't want to disturb people around me), which means I prefer quiet/silent switches. It also means I don't care about "thock" (the sound that non-silent switches make). I'm also biased against loud Cherry Blue style clicky switches too.* I'm not sensitized to glide of the keys before they bottom out - so scratchy feeling/sounding switches don't really bother me with respect to lubed vs unlubed switches.Reasons To Buy+ Switches are pre-lubed (which improves the feel and sound when actuated compared to unlubed switches).+ Works with most hot swappable keyboards and/or hot swappable hitboxes (leverless joysticks for gaming).+ In my testing (I have a Cherry MX switch sampler/tester), the downstroke is smooth and quiet.+ In terms of operating force, they are comparable to a Gateron Milky Yellow (linear) in my testing. They are noticeably lighter than a Cherry MX Black. The force is high enough that it feels similar to a tactile switch (like a Cherry MX Brown) without the "bump".+ Nicely made switches at a reasonable price.+ Epomaker is a pretty trustworthy budget-to-mid-tier brand (they also make AKKO branded stuff), I have a couple of hot swappable Epomaker numpads, and their stuff is pretty good without being overpriced.Nitpicks / Hit or Miss* While they are not noisy on their own, they are clacky when bottoming out with a keycap attached. You might want to consider o-rings on the keycaps to dampen the clackyness if it bothers you. On a tester I have, they are louder than Gateron Milky Yellow switches when bottoming out.* If your hot swappable board has Outemu type sockets (3 holes as opposed to 5 holes) - you'll need to cut off the two plastic legs with nail clippers or a flush cutter. It's also possible you might need to file one or both of the two copper legs to fit too. Your mileage may vary depending on your hot swappable board.* How these keys sound and feel can be influenced by your keyboard. I have switches that feel and sound OK on a regular keyboard, but feel and sound even better on a heavy, dampened keyboard.* All the mech keyboard fanatics online will tell you factory lubing is never as good as doing it yourself, but if you want lubed switches without spending hours and hours DIYing it, then these prelubed switches are a decent alternative.Reasons Not To Buy- If you want silent switches. These are not silent, especially compared to my daily drivers, which are Outemu Silent White switches.- You don't have a hot swappable keyboard. Yes, if you're up to desoldering and resoldering, you can still get these switches for a non-hot-swappable board, but I don't think most buyers would fall into this category. If you're going to go to the trouble of soldering on a new or existing non-hot-swappable board, you'll probably want to buy better, more expensive switches to make the entire project worthwhile.- I got the yellows, which are linear and have a heavy actuation. So if you're not into linear switches, you won't like the yellow, pink or white switches. The baby blues are tactile. The main difference between the yellow, pink and white are the operating/bottom-out force, which based on the type of spring used inside each type of switch. The yellow switches are heavier than the white, which are heavier than the pink.- Feel and sound preferences are super subjective, so even if I like these switches, you might not, and vice versa.Good Value?42 cents per switch (price at time of review is $19 - $21 with a $2 off coupon) is pretty good for a pre-lubed switch. Because keyboard switches are all about feel and sound, whether they are worth the price can be highly subjective, especially with mechanical keyboard snobs (yes, that is a thing, and more common than you might think). I don't know if Epomaker sells sampler kits, but that would be the best way to evaluate if these switches are for you.

The media could not be loaded.  Getestet habe ich die KTT/Epomaker Baby Pink Keyswitches in meinem Keychron V5 Keyboard mit Vollsilikon Boden und Poron-gemoddeten Stabilizern.Dieses läuft bei mir standardmäßig mit Gateron Milky Yellow Pro v2 Switches und auf den größeren Tasten mit Outemu Silent White Switches. Als Keycaps verwende ich PBT Doubleshot Keycaps im Modified Cherry Profile. Ich mag es für gewöhnlich "Thocky" und bin kein Freund von klirrenden oder hochfrequent klackenden Switches, die Gesprächspartner am Telefon für Gewöhnlich ebenfalls in den Wahnsinn treiben.Die Switches werden in einem kleinen Karton ausgeliefert, enthalten sind 45 Switches, schön in Reih und Glied sortiert in einem Plastiktray. Das kenne ich durchaus auch anders und ist eine willkommene Abwechslung, auch wenn mir wiederverwertbare Materialien für das Tray lieber gewesen wären.Die KTT Switches sind linearer Bauart und sind höchstens am Stem leicht prelubed, ich würde sogar soweit gehen und zu sagen, dass ich kein relevantes Prelubing bemerken konnte.Mit Krytox 20G/0 Lube fühlen sich die KTT Baby Pink Switches leichtgängiger als Keychron K Pro Red (Produziert von Gateron) Switches an, bei vergleichbarer Operating Force (40±5gf vs 45±10gf). Der Pretravel ist deutlich kürzer als bei allen anderen Switches die ich zum Vergleich hier habe; Genauso auch die total Travel Distance, hier bewegen wir uns bei den KTTs nur mehr bei 3,5±0,3mm Travel. Das zeigt sich auch schon direkt beim Vergleich mit anderen Switches an der Stem-Länge.Soundtechnisch sind die Switches leider recht "klirrend" und hell im Klangbild, nach der Anwendung der Krytox Schmiere lässt sich das Verhalten etwas in den Griff bekommen, aber ich höre durchaus deutlich heraus, wo meine Gateron Switches auf der Tastatur sitzen und wo die KTT Baby Pink.Apropos Schmieren: Die Switches sind wirklich abartig fest verklammert. Für gewöhnlich kenne ich es so, dass vier kleine Haltenasen den Switch zusammenhalten, wie bei Cherry MX-Switches eben. Hier befindet sich aber Rechts und Links vom Switch jeweils eine ganze "Brücke" die den Switch zusammenklemmt. Trotz Keyswitch Opening Tool aus Metall ist es ein wahrer Krampf hier sauber ans Innenleben zu kommen.Was das Schreibgefühl angeht, gefällt mir der kürzere Travel der Baby Pinks durchaus gut - Cherry MX Speed Silvers finde ich dagegen z.B. total abturnend. Leider kann ich aber nicht die Geräuschkulisse die mit der Verwendung der Switches einhergeht ausblenden oder diese potenziellen Anrufern aufs Ohr drücken. Eventuell braucht es auch einfach nur etwas mehr Lube als Gewöhnlich um das Verhalten zu regulieren.Wer damit kein Problem hat und Switches sucht, die schnell agieren, kann hier denke ich beherzt zugreifen.Als Vergleich habe ich einmal ein Video mit Studio-Mikrofonqualität angehangen, hier kann man sich gerne mal vom Klang überzeugen. Der Vergleich findet statt zwischen KTT Baby Pinks Lubed, KTT Baby Pinks Stock, Keychron K Pro Reds, Gateron Milky Yellow Pro v2 und Outemu Silent Whites v1/Cherry MX Silent Pink (tun sich quasi nichts).---Ich habe dieses Produkt im Zuge des Amazon Vine-Programms kostenfrei zu Review-Zwecken zur Verfügung gestellt bekommen.
