Video Description

You can buy ball-bearing switches here: https://milktooth.com/products/ws-pearl You can see the inside of these switches here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY224IN6Iqs The box switches that I have tried that fit the keycap tilting kit include: Outemu Peach, Akko Cream Black, Akko Cream Blue and the WS Pearl. Also note that while you can mix and match box switches with keycap tilting kits you are going to want to use "normal" switches for the homerow for the extra 1mm height pieces. This is also why folks recommend against box switches when trying out tilting kits. 00:00 Showing some switches 01:04 Keycap tilting kits 04:19 Small bummer
