custom keyboard switches

[GloriousGamer321]

I a looking for a switch that is clacky, I want it to be stock or pre lubed, I want it to be stock/pre lubed and clacky, not poppy, clacky

[Slottr]

By clacky do you mean linear?

 

Is there a certain sound profile you're aiming for that you could link?

Cant really go wrong with creams

Really any linear switch of decent quality can get somewhere in that range

Yessir

If you want something cheaper with the same weight, try Gateron Blacks

[TokyoKeebs]

get creams or hyperglide blacks. could also go with something like banana splits

Sound profile has more to do with case, plate and dampening that the switches do. Caps also play a not insignificant role. 

 

If you want that kind of sound I'd recommend an aluminum plate and use PE foam for dampening. Also look into the tape mod. (basically lining the back of your PCB with painters tape)

aluminum plate comes with the gmmk pro, pe foam I believe they use it for packaging, painters tape, I can buy.

Doesnt matter, its just the colour of material - both are made of POM

It can be, there's other applications though. It's this kind that comes in thin white sheets:

would something like a PC plate or POM plate not be quieter?

Probably.  But It will definitely be a deeper sound than alu. Which is not what OP wants.
