Hello world, my name is J-S! I do Sound Test videos on Mechanical Keyboards and non-mechanical keyboards. From Modern MX Switches to Vintage Keyboards, Click and Thock is about Keyboard Sound. From vintage Alps SKCM switches and IBM Buckling Springs to modern Kailh BOX switches, I test and compare different types of switches and keyboards.
