[bright kindle]

thanks for calling my bae boring

[winged pelican]

i bet there were lots of order edits once ppl realized raw is quite raw not polished (like myself)

[midnight iron]

yep that's what I assumed too, especially after we had like 3-5 videos saying how raw was not polished highly

[red heart]

:)

[midnight iron]

yeah hy and a lot of folks swapped out of raw at that time

[bright kindle]

Stinks the product isn't what you expected Synta, maybe there's something you can do to get those blems out

I highly doubt it though

[midnight iron]

he's not a raw zinc order

[bright kindle]

oops

Tamer*

[zealous oak]

Are there any more raw zinc orders shipped?

[midnight iron]

if @ornate jasper wants and he is happy to pay like he mentioned then you can just take it to a cerakote store and get a gunmetal cerakote style done. That's what i'd suggest

that's what my initial plan was too depending on how i liked the final raw

[fallen forge]

again, what we assume about what people think/expect has nothing to do with clear communication between what you're ordering and what you're gonna get

if there are substantial differences between color options it needs to be stated, if there's a certain amount of things that people might assume is a defect (but it's actually within spec) then that needs to be stated

i do understand what you're saying, but i only allow my assumption to go as far as people expect a product to fall somewhere within shown pictures and description, what other preconceived notions people have about raw cases in general falls outside of that, enthusiasts monitoring the discord or people keeping up with yt videos also falls outside of that

[midnight iron]

something like this is what I'd suggest if you want the silvery look: https://www.cerakote.com/shop/cerakote-coating/E-250/titanium

[bright kindle]

I hear you Syn, Its unfortunate wooting can't make 100% of people satisfied, I own my own business and this is painfully true.

[midnight iron]

yeah I already said I agree they needed better photos and such. I do think it's a fairly minor issue though

[fallen forge]

oh i'm not expecting them to satisfy 100% of the people as that would be impossible, just this specific thing I think can be communicated more clearly as far as the product page goes, that's all

[midnight iron]

this is more one of those 'yeah it could be improved, but it's also not that big a deal' things. They should absolutely improve the photos and such used to show what's expected better, but I also think this problem impacts very few people overall

[bright kindle]

Or maybe supply more sample pictures to show people the variances instead of a golden sample pic

[midnight iron]

I think the problem is they were redoing raw zinc until the last minute

[verbal solar]

Yesss

[fallen forge]

especially when we consider the fact that it's already been communicated through discord and videos

the info is out there, but not in the place where you actually buy the keyboard

[midnight iron]

they even swapped the final product i think twice in a period of a week or so

[zealous oak]

raw?

[verbal solar]

Yess

[zealous oak]

Nice

[midnight iron]

it went from raw zinc with water marks to raw zinc stonewashed to raw zinc with water marks again all in that short period

which from reading between the lines delayed some production stuff a little bit too

[bright kindle]

Ahh I didn't follow the raw evolution so I was un aware

[zealous oak]

I'm starting to think Igor don't like me

[fallen forge]

speaking of stonewashed, i'd love that as an option

[midnight iron]

yeah basically they worked on the coating until it was basically overdue and holding stuff up lol

then they had to just go with it since they couldn't mass produce the stonewashed one

lighting also plays a bit factor in the marks showing too - like in the unbox video you don't see it as much but in darker lighter it shows a lot more

[bright kindle]

I kind of dig the waves in the finish

[zealous oak]

Some people would like it and some people don't, that's how it is

[bright kindle]

yeah

[midnight iron]

yep. I'll still consider doing a more brown/silver metal cerakote after a bit probably, just to match my retro keycaps a bit more

[bright kindle]

ooooo that's going to look nice

[midnight iron]

yeah I want something like this

[bright kindle]

I would like a doodoo brown with some keycaps that kind of look like wood oir wooden keycaps

some walnut keycaps

[fallen forge]

Ye, I think you can show it as minor as nothing and as something alarming

I'm still on the fence about ordering it, might have to wait for more pics

[zealous oak]

Tamer is going to put more pics after as he said

[fallen forge]

And the possibility of a stonewashed option might be worth waiting for, I guess

But that's just wishful thinking as nothing is confirmed

[bright kindle]

someone link me to the raw zinc

[oak jungle]

they removed it from the store

[bright kindle]

whyyyy

I want one, im gonna custom build it out.

[zealous oak]

They didn't remove it

[bright kindle]

Link me Alex

[zealous oak]

https://wooting.io/product/wooting-80he-zinc-alloy-case?Color=Raw

[bright kindle]

What else do I need to build this thing out

im ordering now, this will be my first build.

The module right>?

[zealous oak]

You a re a founder, what did you order back then?

[bright kindle]

I got the Zinc White 80HE

[violet garnet]

what are some good sites to buy keycaps from?

[zealous oak]

If you are going to order another one then go to this

https://wooting.io/configurator/wooting-80he?model=ANSI&lang=United+States&keycaps=none&quantity=1&product=module&switches=none&case=47937557070168

I thought you only wanted the case

[bright kindle]

I want the case and the module, ill use the extra switches that came with my 80he for switches and buy some wooden keycaps.

[ornate jasper]

I want to make more pictures but for some reason there is condensation inside my camera lenses

I did make more pictures but they are bit cloudy

[bright kindle]

How Do i order the module without the plastic case

[nova nexus]

Discord embed be trolling you

[bright kindle]

Mark help me eggman

[bright jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-troll-trolling-we-do-a-little-trolling-we-do-gif-21450570

[nova nexus]

Add it to the order, go to the next page on the cart, remove it there

[bright kindle]

ily

[zealous oak]

Choose zinc alloy lol

[bright kindle]

I knew that dingleberry, but when I went to add the module it auto added a plastic case, just didnt know you could remove it

do I need stabs too?

[zealous oak]

No

Just module and case

[pseudo parrot]

mentioning just in case its not known. the daughterboard is a component of the case, and is needed to power the module

[bright kindle]

It doesnt come with the case?>

[zealous oak]

Yes, it comes with the case

[zealous oak]

Everybody lucky except for me, Igor what did I do to you?

[daring berry]

I will have you in my evening prayer to Igor 🙏

[zealous oak]

Thank you! 😂

[bright kindle]

suhhhweeeet

[fallen forge]

Well, that is certainly raw

[kindred stream]

Now me too. I‘m curious to see what my raw case will look like

[vague prism]

I need prayers for my keyboard I get it today

[lunar moon]

https://tenor.com/view/ramsay-raw-gif-13771788

[worldly pebble]

did they upload the case to github yet?

oh that reminds me

@thick lichen you asked me to ping you as a reminder :)

[buoyant solstice]

Not yet.

[worldly pebble]

alr np

sander said hed ask for dimension on my behalf tho :))

[thick lichen]

Ah yeah right. About the 4 key spot.

I see Kevin forgot to send me the exact dimensions lol. I will bump him again.

[steep badger]

Yours is just extra unique

[fallen forge]

i'm not too thrilled about how that one looks, but i'm also in a bit of i can fix her mindset with cerakote and whatnot

wallet is still in danger

[steep badger]

Does it feel rough?

[midnight iron]

he doesn't own raw zinc, he's black zinc iirc

[fallen forge]

not my pic

[fallen forge]

nah, ghost here

[midnight iron]

ah ghost

[fallen forge]

i went from never zincer to being tempted by raw zinc

[undone cedar]

is there a way to attach the angled platforms a little more securely?

[hybrid inlet]

just 1 month to go. i need to stay strong 😄

[undone cedar]

i adjsut my keybaord occasionally and they always sldie out

[mossy ocean]

getting my geons tomorrow i think, just no board 😔

[zealous oak]

Join us

[midnight iron]

i gotta clean my setup over the weekend before 80he gets here

can't be taking dusty setup photos

[fallen forge]

black and white zinc were too plain looking for me, but raw is actually unique

ghost was unique and "cheap" route

speaking of ghost, i have pulsar x2h clear black coming in a few days

gonna post pics to show how well it matches with the case

[zealous oak]

Ghost would have been my choice if I went with pcr, in fact maybe I'll get it in the future

[fallen forge]

hope it's gonna go well together, but red keycap accents might be required

[zealous oak]

definitely will match pretty good

[burnt cradle]

Any Batch 2 update ?

[coarse crest]

Negative

[glacial wedge]

Another day of no batch 2 updates

[spring oar]

sad

[glacial wedge]

[spring oar]

but november coming soon

[buoyant solstice]

Every time you ask for a Batch 2 update, we delay it another two days.

[oak jungle]

lol

[glacial wedge]

[zealous oak]

Let's go Igor!

Status changed = I'm happy

[coarse crest]

Now that’s a proper October scare

[glacial wedge]

I think they are playing with our emotions, the day changed from 02 December to 01

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/ตกใจ-อะไรนะ-gif-21487394

[distant monolith]

I feel like someone could exploit this by copy pasting the same question…just for fun… imagine if someone would do that…

Batch 2? Batch 2 batch 2?…….. batch 2?

[glacial wedge]

It only applies to me sry

[old pond]

80HE
"G" "K"
two led not work ,how can i fix it?

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/solder-soldering-millmax-mill-max-keyboard-gif-16542893590542118751

[silver torrent]

don’t use led :D

[old pond]

😄

[red heart]

you can get warranty replacement if you have dead led

[glacial wedge]

Sounds like you’ll have to send it back to wooting. Tough situation, wait for a new board in 6 months or get used to it

Or become a solder legend and fix it

[buoyant solstice]

You do not have to wait six months for a replacement...

[glacial wedge]

Then mail me my keyboard rn

[silver torrent]

delayed another month for you

[glacial wedge]

[distant monolith]

Sure but you have to pay 42069€ in concept of rush demand.

[old pond]

I just received the package today. If it comes to after-sales service, it will take a long time.

It's really a sad story.

[glacial wedge]

That does sound like a sad story

[wispy cloak]

Werent we supposed to receive some updates on batch 2? (This week)

[bright jewel]

Mark will share news when there's news to share

[coarse crest]

Still TBD, I wouldn’t set a hard date, but a date range may be more appropriate in the next 1-2 weeks as we get closer to November

[coarse crest]

In mark we trust 🙏🏻

[distant monolith]

The update will come between today and 12th July 2038 give or take a couple days

[tight cypress]

May be a bit later
I wouldn't worry about that meteor strike which will happen at 12th July 2038, given plans of opening additional warehouses at immediate vicinity of ISS, and possibly Mars

[steep badger]

Damn. My eta is 2038.

[tight cypress]

Oh yeah yeah, that's due to Hub not being updated to handle 64-bit datetime values, once it does, you'll get an accurate estimate

[icy cosmos]

Apple Titanium at its finest

Just discovered one thing on my shipment

[frozen cosmos]

why is is yellow and red, last time it needed an update but idk what it is this time cuz its upto date

[midnight iron]

is yours 2 80he?

mine is 4kg for one 80he

[icy cosmos]

1. 80HE , + cases

[worn ledge]

Getting my 80he today! Who's got the best valorant profile?! please link!

[summer wadi]

Posting in here again since I don't know what else to do. I made a ticket last week with no response. My package was deemed damaged by UPS and sent back before I ever saw it. No word on a replacement and since I haven't gotten responses to my ticket I don't know what's going on. Any tips or someone else in a similar situation hear back?

[daring berry]

It's a blessed day to be a raw enjoyer!

[buoyant solstice]

Nothing to do but be patient for a response. We're answering tickets as quickly as we can.

[next lark]

wouldn't it make more sense to make a profile based on yourself

[worn ledge]

or you tweak an existing profile

[icy cosmos]

It is pretty crazy for a keyboard 🤣.

[upbeat gull]

Time to reinvent patience

[frail apex]

Bro this is so long Hahaha stay strong

[coarse crest]

The memes keep us sane and pass the time 🙏🏻

[sour vortex]

What can I do?

I replied in the email, and updated my address. Still on hold

[rose bolt]

My order changed to Pick and Pack!!!!! Should I be excited???

[pseudo parrot]

since you have replied, you just need to wait and someone from customer support will help you out

[midnight iron]

yep, that means tomorrow it'll be picked up/shipped probably

mine was pick and pack at this time yesterday then label printed early in the morning and marked shipped later in the day

[sour vortex]

Does that mean this will affect my estimated time?

[rose bolt]

Nice!!!!

Dont remember if I choose expedite delivery on normal

[zealous oak]

Me too, finally

[pseudo parrot]

yeah but shouldn’t be too significant. better that an address check was performed instead of it potentially shipping out to the wrong address / being returned etc

[bleak parcel]

what batch are you?

[zealous oak]

he is Kampioen, batch 1

[carmine cairn]

man i love the geon raw he's so much more than the lekker switches, first 10 seconds are lekker and last 10 second geon raw he

[oak jungle]

RAW sounds better what about the feel?

[carmine cairn]

they feel better as well, and stem wobble is also way better

[lime falcon]

are those lekker v2

[fallen forge]

sounds like v1s

v1 vs raws is night and day

[lime falcon]

yea those are def v1s

[quaint tangle]

Has anyone heard anything back from support on any issues raised? A few people on the subreddit have the issue with the tilde key LED only displaying blue

[astral cloud]

Yes

Just be patient

[hollow walrus]

Is the GEON RAW H switches good

[scenic igloo]

shhh they'll hear you

[hollow walrus]

my package just came in

[fallen forge]

yes, but also it depends imo

[hollow walrus]

depends?

[fallen forge]

depends on what you're looking for in a switch

[quaint tangle]

Longer than 2 weeks?

[fallen forge]

and also on what you currently have, etc

[lime falcon]

yes

[hollow walrus]

i saw a video and i really like them

[midnight iron]

if it's broken led on delivery they'll probably mail you a new pcb, but yeah support is a bit slow right now due to 80he launch

[hollow walrus]

should i lube them ?

[lime falcon]

become a part of geon raw church

[scenic igloo]

you have summoned them

[hollow walrus]

what does that mean ?

[muted glade]

anyone else just slowly changing out more and more keys for the lighter force yellow ones?

I first just changed wasd, now space and control. I'll eventually get to all of them lol

[coarse crest]

Cult worship

[lime falcon]

Geon RAW is not only switches, its a whole religion

[muted glade]

oh what did I walk into

[hollow walrus]

they are better then jades and lekker switches ??? if so i will join :3

[fallen forge]

people have a bit of an obsession with those switches in here (i hope they're memeing) 😄

can't blame them though i guess

[livid zodiac]

Please, fix your cases. Case wobble is unacceptable at this price 🙏

[coarse crest]

You have to cut your finger and spread it into a pentagram and chant Geon’s name 3 times and he’ll appear

[lime falcon]

Yes, also cheaper

dont get scammazed by gateron

[hollow walrus]

gateron ? wat that

[muted glade]

wtf is case wobble. You mean flex?

[silver gust]

what makes them better than the others offered?

[lime falcon]

gateron makes jades

[livid zodiac]

what?

[scenic igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/80s-90s-princess-bride-princess-as-you-wish-gif-622893631379986385

[muted glade]

what??

[fallen forge]

zinc or plastic case?

[spring oar]

Thank you for your support to the Church of Geon

[livid zodiac]

I said case wobble. Why bring up flex?

[muted glade]

did you not read my question mark?

its there

[hollow walrus]

do these switches even fit the 80he module ? they look very small

[lime falcon]

yes

[silver gust]

some peoples case wobble comes down to a cheap desk, not the case itself

[hollow walrus]

( this is the first time me getting custom stuff 😭 so i dunno ! sorrwy ! )

[livid zodiac]

zinc and we've had this conversation before. The replacement unit I got has the same amount of wobble

[muted glade]

does he mean it doesnt sit flat on the desk?

[hollow walrus]

zinc case is so freaking expensive

[livid zodiac]

When I say "CASE WOBBLE" I mean "CASE WOBBLE" lol

[muted glade]

you should get mad instead of answering the question

stop pretending everyone knows or should know what you mean

[lime falcon]

why are you guys arguing all of a sudden

[livid zodiac]

No one is getting mad lol what

[lime falcon]

lmao

[muted glade]

using caps and still not answering the question lol

[livid zodiac]

case wobble is pretty much self explanatory. The case wobbles

[lime falcon]

case can wobble if its bent

[fallen forge]

some cases are legit not right and wobble even on a flat surface, mostly zinc but there were few plastic ones as well (mine was like that)

[livid zodiac]

How is that difficult to understand?

[hollow walrus]

also should i lube the switches that i have or not ?

[snow canyon]

[muted glade]

there are so many ways I could imagine a case wobbling, or that term not making sense at all

[lime falcon]

I knew some cases were wobbling, but mostly zinc? hmm

[carmine cairn]

nope v1s, but because of that the difference feels even more extreme

[lime falcon]

No, they are factory lubbed. You dont need to lube them

[livid zodiac]

The bottom left part of the keyboard doesn't touch the surface of my desk, causing it to wobble.

same issue with my replacement unit and I'm 100% sure it's the keyboard itself

[hollow walrus]

oohh but dont you need to re apply the lube

[lime falcon]

maybe in a year lol

[humble depot]

Maybe just the springs (assuming youre talking about v2 lekkers). I took the time to do 26 of the L45s completely and its not THAT much different. They did good from the factory. Just a little springy on a few of my switches.

[carmine cairn]

sorry for the late reply Shafie, my parents called me right when i planned to answer that its the v1s, they are on vacation and had a medical emergency and they have to pay a shit ton of money to the hospital

[hollow walrus]

ahh okay

[hollow walrus]

no no i have the geon !

[hollow walrus]

!!

geon raw H

[fallen forge]

well, i say mostly zinc as i mostly saw people having that issue with zinc and only few mentions of that happening with plastic

who knows what's the actual statistic on all that

[carmine cairn]

E

[hollow walrus]

e?

[humble depot]

Ooooh, im late to the party lol, i wanna try some of those, but im scared pulling the switches out lol, theyre in so damn tight

[carmine cairn]

geon raw he not geon raw h

[fallen forge]

geon raw hehe

[lime falcon]

Yeah, not everyone notices that issue tbh

[livid zodiac]

and what's the point of asking for another replacement when it's going to have the same issue again

[lime falcon]

I wouldnt care personally

[hollow walrus]

o wait yea my bad geon raw h

where can i buy keycaps ?

like how do i kno it will fit the switches

[livid zodiac]

Well, I do, especially because this is an already expensive keyboard and shouldn't be happening

[carmine cairn]

anyways the geon raw he’s are perfectly well factory lubed, honestly you don’t need to lube them whatsoever (from personal experience)

[lime falcon]

So you have 2 copies with same issue?

[hollow walrus]

o okii thankyouu!

[livid zodiac]

Yes, the original I bought during preorder and the replacement case I got this week both have the same issue

[carmine cairn]

nearly all keycaps work on the wooting lol

[livid zodiac]

Yes, it's the case itself. My desk is fine

[hollow walrus]

o okay tyty

[lime falcon]

Have you tried if it wobbles on the floor?

because you might be extremely unlucky if you received 2 bent cases

[livid zodiac]

I've tried it on my wall, kitchen table, salon table. Everywhere. it's in the exact same spot. and I have plenty of other keyboards and none of them have this issue

[lime falcon]

[fallen forge]

it's pretty bad if you have it bad, mine was the kind where you press arrow cluster and feel the keyboard dip and hit the desk

i'd assume absolute majority of them are well within reason and you can't feel anything like that even if the case is not perfectly straight

[livid zodiac]

Even the garbage keyboards at my job don't have this issue lmfao

[lime falcon]

[dusk yew]

Filled the case with silicon for dampening

I don't know if it'll have any meaningful impact

[snow canyon]

Why tho

[dusk yew]

See that word right after "for?"

[snow canyon]

Yeah but this too

[lime falcon]

it will make it sound deeper

[carmine cairn]

it looks so weird

[lime falcon]

less hollow

[dusk yew]

You won't see it obv 👍

[hollow walrus]

I have a question, i ordered the 80he module, does it come with a plastic cover thingy for ontop of the keyboard?

[carmine cairn]

i know but i only ever used foam and those silicone mats

[dusk yew]

Added a more solid sound to my tofu

But there's less space in this case

I'll show sound in a moment

[hollow walrus]

!!

[humble depot]

Nope

[midnight iron]

Oh nice, another zinc raw in the wild?

[dusk yew]

Si. I think maybe I ordered it by mistake, I can't remember lol

I ordered the day the pre-orders opened and honestly can't remember but I'm happy with it anyway

[hollow walrus]

Hey when will it be out, the 80he dust cover?

[midnight iron]

no idea, up to the aliexpress vendor when they add it

[hollow walrus]

how expensive would a dust cover be?

[solemn temple]

How do I fix spacebar rattle if it is only on one side?

[midnight iron]

looks nice. did it just get delivered for you?

[dusk yew]

3 days ago yeah

I lubed the jades and did the silicon that was it

Design is different this time. It free floats inside the case

[carmine cairn]

do you have jade switches?

[dusk yew]

Yes

Those are lubed jades in the video

They feel really good and imo the video is a bit harsh compared to real experience

[carmine cairn]

i wonder how they would sound compared to the lenker ones through your mic, because (imo) they sound really unpleasant but might also be because of the mic or something

[midnight iron]

dam 3 days ago? Must be NL order

[dusk yew]

Yeah it's the mic @carmine cairn definitely sounds harsh for some reason

[fallen forge]

neat but then the spacebar

[dusk yew]

I also hace the lekker45s and they sounded good too. I think I'd have been happy with them too

Yeah damn spacebar

Same thing on the 60

[fallen forge]

can you post some more pics of the keeb please, wanna see more of that raw case

[dusk yew]

I got those keycaps on Amazon for 18 bucks

[hollow walrus]

@midnight iron OH you the one that reccomended me raw geon h switches\

[dusk yew]

Really happy with that

[snow canyon]

[fallen forge]

[midnight iron]

glory to geon and all that he touches

[hollow walrus]

my 80he module arrives 2-10 nov

[carmine cairn]

i wish i had like 10 jades just to try them, but i won’t spend more money on switches if i already bought some with which i am super happy

[dusk yew]

A little more representative

I think you will be happy with either choice in reality. None of the lekkers sound like a high end keyboard and imo are always going to be a bit of a compromise

But they still sound pretty good and perform amazing

[midnight iron]

your raw case came out nice too, very low amount of the coating marks

[dusk yew]

Hope it helps anyway

[dreamy wing]

Does anyone know if I need to take apart the keyboard to install my own stabilizers instead of the wooting ones?

[midnight iron]

yes

[dusk yew]

Yeah ofc

[fallen forge]

is that a gap between the pieces or the ligthing deceives me

[dusk yew]

It's not hard though

[dusk yew]

It's a gap but it's designed that way

Nm

I need to get it shaved there

Thanks

[dreamy wing]

I see, I'll have to look up a how to guide

[winged pelican]

might need new stabs instead of just lube?

[fallen forge]

not sure if that's correct, the other zinc ones looked flush together

[dusk yew]

No you're right

[fallen forge]

i guess it can be assembled wrong?

[dusk yew]

I got the silicon a little thick there

I will fix it

[fallen forge]

ooh right you did that

[dusk yew]

Thanks for pointing it out

[fallen forge]

[dusk yew]

I can just remove the foam

[dusk yew]

I don't know honestly. In the 60he the stabs were really quite good so all they "needed" was some lube

So i wouldn't replace them right away

[fiery robin]

Hayyyo guyyysss

What can you recommend as keycaps for the 80 he in German iso layout pls 🙏 ❤️

[dusk yew]

It comes disassembled

Well mine did anyway. You just have to disassemble it a little further. It's just about 8-10 screws holding the plate to the pcb. This is where you will gain access to the stabs

[hollow walrus]

i feel like the spacebar is too loud or something idk not to my liking

[dusk yew]

After living with this kb for the last few days, the one word that keeps coming to mind when I use it is: premium

[dusk yew]

Yeah it's a little harsh. I may lube the stabs

The video makes it louder though

[hollow walrus]

ah so its not normal, the sound?

which switches do you use if i may ask

[dusk yew]

It's not that bad, but still

Jades

[hollow walrus]

ahh im gonna use geon raw h

[dusk yew]

I don't think it's the switch since the others sound good

[hollow walrus]

ooh

[dusk yew]

Stabilizer is prob a little dry

[dusk yew]

Post when you do!

[hollow walrus]

i will !

i have a black case and got white keycaps though, i want to paint the case to white

[humble depot]

Here are some lekker 45s lubed, stabs also lubed just from injecting some krytox on each i have some jades but they sound too sharp to me cuz they bottom out in the closed housing.

[dusk yew]

I'm not married to these switches 🙌 if there's something better I'm down to try them

Those are definitely louder but they sound good

I honestly couldn't pick which i liked more. I just eenie meanie minie moed that b* 😆 🤣

[dreamy wing]

The stabilizers I bought are clip on instead of screw on like the wooting ones, don't know if that makes a difference

[midnight iron]

raw he switches are the way, the truth and the light

[dusk yew]

when you say raw, is this the name of a switch or are you saying just the base/oe switch?

[midnight iron]

clip in is fine. You bought tx ap I'm guessing?

[dusk yew]

forgive my ignorance lol

[midnight iron]

it's the switch name. Geon raw he is the full name

[dusk yew]

🙏

[midnight iron]

raw he = switch name, geon = brand name

[dusk yew]

need to look those up then

[midnight iron]

raw he easily. Lot of folks been having issues with jade max sticking

[scarlet spade]

Do the Raws need some tender, loving lubing, or can it just go in...
Raw?

[dusk yew]

yeah the raws sound good. they sound kinda close to the jade honestly. a bit softer

might have to pick those up

[lime falcon]

Welcome to the club

[midnight iron]

they come prelubed, but you can always hand lube them if you prefer and bag lube the springs

[lime falcon]

church*

[dusk yew]

so far every switch i've gotten that says prelubed has been a bit disappointing

i see a tiny bit on the inside track there but that's it

[humble depot]

^its the springs

[dusk yew]

but to be fair, they still sounded fine

i just feel they could have been better

but that's to be expected

not like that's some big shock or anything, not really a complaint. you can easily run them as is.

[fallen forge]

I'm about to relube mine as there is lube in places that makes the start of the press feel sticky

Hard to say how sensitive someone else is gonna be about, or maybe even it's just my batch being overlubed or whatever

[dusk yew]

i dont think hand lubing is worth the time investment, but i always torture myself anyway

[scarlet spade]

I'm thinking of getting some Raws but I dread the lubing since it'd be my first go. Even then, I don't get the board until NA-Champion ships.

[dusk yew]

its not hard or scary, just super tedious. get some music going and do it in shifts

i did it in 2 shifts. half and half.

you can do all the springs at once like he said, in a bag.

[humble depot]

Do you guys use krytox for the springs when bag lubing? Or something else? Ive just been painting some krytox on the wound up ends lol

[dusk yew]

i'm using the krytox 205g0

[fallen forge]

If yours comes with lekkers give them a try, might be fine with them

Can always upgrade later if you're not satisfied

[dusk yew]

i have another grease for stabs

[midnight iron]

When bag lubing you use oil. Gpl 105 is what most folks use

[dusk yew]

molykote

[dusk yew]

still using 205g0 on the actual switch or?

[humble depot]

Oooh gotcha, thanks, gonna get some right meow

[scarlet spade]

Yeah, it's coming with just the default 60s, didn't buy in time for the 45s so it'll be a new experience at the very least.

[midnight iron]

Yeah 205g0 on switch and 105 oil on the springs

[dusk yew]

right on thx. i'll pick some up then.

ive juist been using the 205 on them

[midnight iron]

you can just use 205g0 on the springs too, but can't bag lube with that

have to donut dip or brush them one by one

[arctic ice]

Nooooo waaaayyy lets goo

[dusk yew]

ya i brushed mine painfully lol

[humble depot]

SAAAAAME lmao

[dusk yew]

leggoo

[radiant pivot]

Yes same!!!

[dusk yew]

if you had a 60he, you're really going to love the 80

somehow they made it feel twice as premium

[spiral fiber]

Which month did you order it?

[dusk yew]

it feels twice as premium as my 60he in a tofu60

they really did a great job on it

[hollow walrus]

are the wooting PBT keycaps letter thingy like see through as in it can shine led through it ?

[humble depot]

Yep

[dusk yew]

Every time I use it, I'm walking away with the same impression: it feels like G wagon. Primo.

[hollow walrus]

what are even the keycaps that led can shine through the letters called ?

[humble cargo]

shinethrough keycaps usually

[hollow walrus]

o okok tyty

[dusk yew]

these are the same ugly ones that come on the steelseries apex https://www.amazon.com/XVX-Keycaps-Universal-Compatiability-Keyboard/dp/B09JRSQC1M/ref=sr_1_15

these seem a bit nicer actually

[winged pelican]

still sounds like it needs different stabs

[dusk yew]

I wonder how this style of key would look with the north facing LED

[humble cargo]

nah they both puddings, other than that font and legend placements differ

[dusk yew]

im gonna try to lube it first and see how that goes before replacing.

the spacebar does sound pretty freaking bad. there's no sugarcoating it

[midnight iron]

Space bar foam insert and a proper stab lube job does well

[dusk yew]

nice yeah thankfully its the only key I think that needs addressing

thanks for the suggestion. so just dampen the spacebar with an insert?

in addition to lubing ofc

[midnight iron]

yeah you can either use your own foam or lots of places sell cheapie foam cut to spacebar with sticky tape on one side

makes the space bar sound much closer to the rest of the keys

[dusk yew]

appreciate the suggestion.

hope you guys get your keebs soon. i think you're going to be very happy with it

[snow canyon]

which keycaps did you get

[haughty pawn]

@snow canyon is support getting milk, two weeks tf.

[snow canyon]

yeah bro its bad all I can do is wait and wonder

[scenic igloo]

couple sets of GMK clones to try out - Apollo, Firefly

[haughty pawn]

what's the inquiry about?

[snow canyon]

case swap to zinc white... at this point idek if its even possible I sent the request a week before they announced V2 white case in the works

[snow canyon]

[scenic igloo]

I got burned on a genuine GMK oblivion with warped spacebars -- never again

[haughty pawn]

whats your opinion on spring force? this is gonna be my first hot swap- keyboard, so i got lekker60 since its what my current has.

[scenic igloo]

I really like the v2 60s

[carmine cairn]

i tried the lekker v1s;v2s 60s and geon raw he, i don't know, i am personally not a big fan of the lekker switches, especially because of their stem wobble, the stem wobble is really noticable even on the v2s

45s are to light in my opinion but the geon raw he's have 50 and those are the ones i bought and they are like the sweetspot for me personally

[lime falcon]

have you really tried v2s?

[carmine cairn]

yea. the stem wobble is better for sure

but compared to the geon raw he its still rather noticable

[lime falcon]

idk to me they and jades (not pros/maxes) have same stem wobble

which is very little

[carmine cairn]

i bought the v2s seperately (20 pieces) with the coupon in my hub

[lime falcon]

but yeah there is room for improvement, world is not ready for wooting x geon collab switches

(not happening)

[carmine cairn]

if that would be happening i would immediately buy those

[lime falcon]

I doubt, but who knows

would be very cool

[carmine cairn]

i would've bought some jade max's if they were available in lass than 70 pcs, but i won't buy 70 switches just to test the switc

[lime falcon]

4mm closed bottom geon collab

[scenic igloo]

the rumor I read was they may start offering Geon switches on the wooting store?

[lime falcon]

👀

[lime falcon]

yes they will sell them

[humble cargo]

it never really bothered me even on the v1's am not that picky as long as it does its job

[lime falcon]

70pc and 90pc

[scenic igloo]

hell yea

[midnight iron]

I do feel for whatever the next years board is they need to step it up from v2 lekkers to something raw he/jade pro level

[lime falcon]

also jade pros and maxes

afaik

[scenic igloo]

shhh they'll hear you

[lime falcon]

I think they will release new 2he? thoughts?

[midnight iron]

it's fine for now because v2 lekkers are an okay stock upgrade from v1, but next year onwards a lot more boards will be defaulted to jade pro level switches and lekker v2 won't compete the same wobble/sound wise

[midnight iron]

no idea. We know there's 60he pro but who knows if that's a full upgrade or what

[scenic igloo]

I feel like the vast majority of people getting HE boards are not enthusiasts and will probably be happy with the leckers

[midnight iron]

problem is 'ok' is how you end up as razer in 5 years

[lime falcon]

Whatever, 80he is on the way and i have 60he also, enough wooting keyboardsi think ive reached endgame, will mod 60he if I get bored

[midnight iron]

wootings price point and tier in the market means people expect the best from them where possible

[scenic igloo]

you havent done any mods to the 60?

[scenic igloo]

true

[lime falcon]

No, I just swapped switches thats all

[midnight iron]

right now the reviews for 80he are "lekker v2 are a solid upgrade" but no one is really saying "these are the best HE switches right now"

what they really should want is "these are the best HE switches i've tried"

and it should come stock like that

[hybrid birch]

I think it comes down to small details that only enthusiasts care about

[loud pier]

does wootomation even been worked on right now... because feature seem lacking on basic task I want to achieve

[lime falcon]

Yea they will either release updated version of 2he (most likely) or 60he, doubt there will be other layouts

[midnight iron]

I get what they're doing with lekker v2 being an easy stopgap to fix the initial wobble stuff without needing a full switch redo, but for sure when they do a proper full he switch re-do in the future it needs to up their game to at least raw he/jade pro levels

[lime falcon]

closed bottom 4mm travel lekkers

[midnight iron]

yeah imagine 4mm geon raw he style switches made by wooting as stock. That'd be super nice

[cloud nebula]

Is there any new info on the white zinc case?

[lime falcon]

Yea I really want 4mm travel switches that are same level or even better than raws or jades

I prefer 4mm travel switches

[midnight iron]

nothing new yet

[glad meadow]

my guess is that lekkers are switches designed to sound tockie out of the box without the need for hand lube and giving full travel to allow analog use

[valid comet]

and please I hope the closed bottom will not start grinding on the bottom out

[lime falcon]

what

[carmine cairn]

i hope they add “support” for switches with less travel into wootility, the switches still work fine with no problems, don’t get me wrong, but when i set activation point at 4mm fully pressing the switch down will send the input, but that also means, that if i set my activation point at 0.4 its not actually 0.4 but might be closer to 0.5, well as i just said its a really minor issue but i would still like a fix, because i believe fixing that can be done in 5 minutes based on how it actually works rn it ofc could take longer etc

[midnight iron]

lekker v1 were just what they went with early on because there was almost no options back then and wooting was way smaller so getting their own switch made was a bit harder for them to fund and do within timeframes

then lekker v2 were an easy tolerance upgrade on the design to basically improve the main complaint of lekker v1 which is the large wobble

[lime falcon]

Oh yea, when I received 60he last year those switches were ass

[midnight iron]

it's already planned as part of wootility v5, just not added yet because they're busy with bug fixing it first

[gritty cairn]

today ❤️

[midnight iron]

they want to add a switch selector to wootility v5

[loud pier]

I threw my 80He box off, it looked like it went through world war 2 twice

[carmine cairn]

thats good news

[loud pier]

that polybag didn't really help putting box into prestine condition, beside box was pretty flimsy

thank god for travel case that put everything in one piece

[glad meadow]

yes, but I still feel that they need to explore more possible sound profiles with a different stem design perhaps. lekkers v2 are just an upgrade of the first v1 design

[midnight iron]

yeah that's what i mean. For future they need whatever switch they end up with to be raw he/jade pro level switches and no longer just minor update on lekker v2

it has to step up the game to match what the other top tier competition is going to be using

[lime falcon]

lekker v2s are top 4mm switches right now, there is no better option

[fallen forge]

I'm kinda one of those people but even with that lekkers v1s in my 60he were iffy and felt like something I'm putting up for the sake of HE board

v2s feels more like what should've been in 60he to begin with, but obviously reality is a bit different

[glad meadow]

true

[midnight iron]

the main thing they don't want is for their competition to be making boards and people look at wooting and ask "Why do I need to spend $35 on raw he switches to match the stock sound of this other keyboard? They're not even expensive switches, why am I getting lekker v2 still"

so while it's 'fine' - they have to play up to the level of the competition in the future

[loud pier]

for a person who used mass produced keyboard all my life, I honestly can't tell if Lekker v2 even require upgrade

it just sound and feel fine.

[midnight iron]

especially with increasingly more keyboards from china starting to come stock with jade pros in the near future

[scenic igloo]

I am in the same boat

[glad meadow]

yeah, but raws are not even a default option for any other board. So buying them is always an upgrade. Jades in other hand are extra option on some boards

[midnight iron]

they kind of are actually

[scenic igloo]

I am coming from Gateron browns in a Keychron Q board

[loud pier]

I mean, I was thinking of maybe changing switches for the sake of trying new thing... but I am not sure if I can feel the change if I do

[midnight iron]

jade pros/ttc magneto is already announced as stock for a few upcoming keyboards

which is why I said for now it's fine to be on lekker v2 stock, but for whatever their next year board is - they need to step up the stock switch

[loud pier]

but honestly using this compare to mass produced one does feel better, so maybe I will

[scenic igloo]

I think you would but if you're happy with with you have then I say roll with it unless you are curious

[midnight iron]

and realistically for the price of the wooting 80he, i don't think it's unrealistic to expect that it come stock with cheap but better feeling/sounding switches such as geon raw he or similar oem build like that

[glad meadow]

totally agree

[midnight iron]

that said we don't know what their switch contracts are and such, so maybe they want to move away from lekker v2 but have to be on them for x more time due to stock and buy contracts and lack of time to develop a new switch

[loud pier]

once production for Jade Max is stabilized, then maybe I will give it a whirl for that one

[nova nexus]

Lekker V2s are made with a different manufacturer that we can work with more directly and push forward innovation in switches in a way that we never could with the previous manufacturer

[midnight iron]

i'd be a bit careful of them, people been reporting sticky keys with them

[midnight iron]

yeah that's what I'm looking forward to, with them being the same manu for another particularly popular switch that is touched by gods

[loud pier]

I guess I can wait for improved batch

This is not my first hall effect KB, but this is my first customizable keyboard so

I did use Apex Pro before whole He KB become a thing

[coarse crest]

I’ll keep you posted on how mine do when batch 2 arrives 🙏🏻. So far mine haven’t been sticky, but I can only test on my switch opener 🥲

[loud pier]

is that like bad factory lubing, or just bad design or manufacturing?

[coarse crest]

For the stem I think design/manu for why it’s stuck on to keycaps, but the actually sticky key itself I think it could be lube related. I could only replicate it being ‘sticky/stuck’ when I went overboard with lube on 4 ish of my switches

[midnight iron]

i wonder if there might be some keycap warping actually being caused by the over tight stem

[coarse crest]

I’m waiting to see if Arc has similar experience or not

[midnight iron]

and that warps the keycap on the stab keys in particular

[loud pier]

you think future batch could improve this?

[coarse crest]

That’s what I was originally worried about, but mine were little easier to remove after handlubing

But then again it’s on my geon opener 😦

[coarse crest]

If everyone compiled feedback to Gateron they could if it’s bad enough

[loud pier]

Keycap warping? that sounds bad..

[midnight iron]

it happens sometimes on cheaper keycap sets even by default. The longer keys can be a tad warped and it causes stabs to be sticky/stuck

[midnight iron]

i've had it happen on some old sets like my epbt gok black on white set

[coarse crest]

You might be onto something

[lime falcon]

why wait for future jades batch when raw hes exist, godsent switches

[midnight iron]

shafie does have a point

[coarse crest]

If mine turn out to be lemons then I’m prob going to put my pride aside and swap my flairs and pretend nothing happened

[loud pier]

but that happening to switch that cost 1USD per switch seems... weird

[lime falcon]

thats karma

for being overpriced

[coarse crest]

The people that had issues were reporting it happening when they press it off axis which is rather odd, but I haven’t been able to replicate

[loud pier]

well if that's the case, I will keep my eye on it

[coarse crest]

Yeah I’d say the best course is to put the Maxes on hold until we get more sample sizes from folks

The Jade max enthusiast crowd already is very small

[lime falcon]

best course is to not touch anything made by gateron

[spring oar]

lmao

[sleek lynx]

https://youtu.be/kx6vTEtwZ50?t=2263

[loud pier]

That's what got me the idea in the first place lol

[sleek lynx]

yeah i would avoid using them for now

[loud pier]

wait.. I think i missed that specific part..

keycap stuck inside of switch is like wth...

[lime falcon]

100$ switches

[loud pier]

but it is early batch, I think he said I got it in like regular Jade switch package

because they didn't produced proper box for it yet.. so this gotta be super early production

[spring oar]

100 dollars!!! Its like half of 80he minus shipping

[coarse crest]

They just didn’t have their own Jade max box

[jade widget]

Paying all that money for scuffed boxing, geon wins again

[spring oar]

Glory to Geon and all that he touches

[dusk yew]

You guys are making me question my life decisions

[lime falcon]

shotmisser how about sticky switches for hundred bucks

[spring oar]

i dunno, too poor for that

[next lark]

probably because its $1 a switch

i really do want to use jade maxes

they are so nice but the flaws are impossible to overlook

leaving a review on the gateron website because I really REALLY want these switches to be amazing

but I will have to wait until 2025 probably 💀

[coarse crest]

Tell them to also scrap new switches until they fix their newest release

[tight shell]

Order placed

[cerulean monolith]

i just went with the original gateron jades. after lubing them all i'm not even looking at other switches lol.

that is a process i don't plan to repeat anytime soon

Gateron should collab to make the first Glutinous sticky rice switch

Then it’ll atleast be accurate

[icy cosmos]

To be fair, Gateron is a lot better to work with than Adomax

[buoyant solstice]

[spring oar]

20 more days before novemba

[buoyant solstice]

We've been with Gateron longer than Adomax at this point I think?

And unlike them, Gateron actually appears invested in improving HE switch technology.

[nova nexus]

There was a point where we were specifically not confirming this information publicly. I'm not sure if that's still the case, so I'll play it safe and not do so.

[scenic igloo]

[coarse crest]

Poor Calder getting targeted by everyone 🤣

[buoyant solstice]

He only has himself to blame for that reputation to be fair.

[coarse crest]

That’s fair

[humble cargo]

its not really leaking, its actually a cleverly disguised marketing strategy

make the people aware of your next thing while retaining plausible deniability

[midnight iron]

If you dig around and ask folks privately you can make some fairly educated guesses on who the manu is for a lot of the oem switches

[shy radish]

is there a way to setup profiles for this keyboard that automatically switch based on which game i'm playing? Similar to what synapse does? I love how sensitive these keys are until i'm tabbed out of a game and trying to type in discord and getting so many typos :P

[buoyant solstice]

Not at the moment - at least not without third party tools.

[balmy compass]

hi can i change my shipping address after order? smh shopify change my address when ordering

[buoyant solstice]

https://hub.wooting.io/my/account
If it hasn't been packed and shipped yet, yes

Also Shopify didn't change your address - Your express checkout did.

Might want to update your Apple/Google info 😄

[balmy compass]

it not even on my order web yet, but i have a confirm email though

[vague prism]

anyone know a profile for r6 for the 80 ???

[buoyant solstice]

It's just black sorcery. Adjust your actuation and rapid trigger till it feels good, then test other values and compare.

https://tenor.com/view/preference-glarses-mx-brown-cherry-mx-brown-keyboard-gif-21044520

[zealous sonnet]

Do we have anything to detect how much buttons are pressed when hand is in resting position?

[buoyant solstice]

Well I mean accidental presses that is

[spark hound]

Wootility

[zealous sonnet]

Oh it has that feature?

[buoyant solstice]

I don't think so? Sounds very counterproductive

[dreamy wing]

Mine came in a box I got lucky

[zealous sonnet]

How so?

[spark hound]

You can see how far the furthest press is

[zealous sonnet]

I just meant something you could use initially to determine how much your accidentally pressing a key and so u can increase the actuation point a tiny bit above it

[icy cosmos]

Imagine boxes is a luxury item 😅

[buoyant solstice]

Yes.

[humble cargo]

you can get visual feedback on rapid trigger reset threshold

use the RT display rgb effect

[upbeat light]

is it better to have the actuation on 0.1?

[sleek badge]

Those of you who have tried Gateron Magnetic Jade switches with 80HE, is the total Total Travel: 3.5±0.2mm noticeably shorter feeling than Lekker with 4mm?

[upbeat light]

[zealous sonnet]

Ah okkk thx

[buoyant solstice]

You made it sound like you wanted an active system that would detect "idle" key pushing, from resting your hand on the keys - which would be a great way to get really weird actual input inconsistency when using it actively 😄

[dim quartz]

GUYSSSS i can use normal cherry keycaps on the keyboard right?

[zealous sonnet]

Oh no haha my bad was a terrible explanation

[scenic igloo]

Nope

Anyone know the ETA from response for support?

[scenic igloo]

it take a little bit for tracking to update

[scenic igloo]

depends on the issue?

@midnight iron mr geon can i ask u a question

on the day of delivery it sudenly updated to out for delivery without any acceptance or transit scans along the way

[dim quartz]

if i wanna change the spring on the geons where am i supposed to buy it?

[midnight iron]

Any he springs work

[dim quartz]

mhhhh

are the 40g ones strong enough for the cerakeys?

[midnight iron]

Geon sells pingless he springs himself too, but you can use other he springs as well

[dim quartz]

not the spacebar I'll handle that differently

[dim quartz]

aren't they 3.6 mm? idk

[midnight iron]

Hrm 40g I don’t know, those are really light

[dim quartz]

i wanna use the l60 on the spacebar

and if i see that it's fucked i switch the spring

[wet peak]

am i tweeking or is the 80he switches impossible to replace

i wanna put my 45l in

[midnight iron]

You can fit other length springs into a switch, so they don’t actually have to all be same length. Just needs to be non magnetic and large enough to fit around the he stem properly

For example ttc sells the same switch with 3 different length choices for springs as one of their features

[proven hearth]

its barely enough to hold up pbtfans spacebar

or without a lot of accidental actuations

[midnight iron]

I haven’t tried, but I would assume wootings springs probably work fine in the raw he too

[wet peak]

can anynone confirm

[proven hearth]

its a lot harder compared to something like the 60he iirc from what others had said here

[dim quartz]

FUUUCK

[wet peak]

i could also just be an idiot

[dim quartz]

bro I don't wanna replace all the springs hell nah

[wet peak]

its like the switch puller wont do anything

the switch is holding on

[dim quartz]

dw u can't be dumber than me

[proven hearth]

i had to set my spacebar actuation to 2.5 (it was 1.2 like every other key before that)

[dim quartz]

that's good news

[proven hearth]

the lightest touch would actuate the key

[dim quartz]

no no the spacebar is not an issue

like i will use the l60 on it

[wet peak]

but why wont the switch let go

its holding on

[dim quartz]

and if it has some problems I'll change replace the sping to a 100 one

[wet peak]

im scared t break it

[dim quartz]

it's like my ex

[proven hearth]

how heavy are the alpha keys?

[dim quartz]

it can't let go

[wet peak]

im serious 😭

[dim quartz]

idk but everyone in the cerakey space says it doesn't matter

they just say that a 45g switch is the bare minimum for the spacebar but above 55 is suggested

[proven hearth]

yeah the starting force required is 27.0 grams (raw 40g)

[coarse crest]

I believe the technique is to start north to south and you have to wiggle it a bit for it to come off

With enough force

[proven hearth]

i think someone mentioned here before the cerakey spacebar is almost 20 grams

[fallen forge]

Raw 50 spring on the left, v2s 45 on the right

Identical inner and outer diameters as well

[wet peak]

i might just be a weak bo that doesent go o ym

[coarse crest]

If Hipyo can remove switches so can you

[proven hearth]

have you tried taking the pcb out first?

[dim quartz]

ye it's pretty heavy

[dim quartz]

😭😭

this guy

[coarse crest]

I’m just sayin

[wet peak]

it doesrnt makr sense

i think i moght break the kryboard

[dim quartz]

don't

u wanna wait another 6 months ?

[dim quartz]

brobrobrobro i wanna get them

[coarse crest]

If you don’t feel safe removing it from the default way, an easier method is to take the keyboard apart and take out the PCB where you can remove the switches a lot easier

[dim quartz]

so bad

[dim quartz]

great advice

[coarse crest]

You shouldn’t break the board, but you would break the switch if you go too hard

[lime aspen]

The wait for my x-ray set is killing me

[dim quartz]

lmao

[lime aspen]

Still like 2.5+ months out 😭

[dim quartz]

i am gonna order the cerakeys already i am a maniac

i still don't know what colour to get

[proven hearth]

2 and 1/2????

[dim quartz]

they are all beautiful

spookingful help me

[coarse crest]

Daaaayum

[lime aspen]

They ship like mid-late December iirc

From deskhero

[proven hearth]

i cant because i dislike how cerakeys look xd

[lime aspen]

Blank white ones

[dim quartz]

ughhh bro idk what colour

[dim quartz]

w the black zinc case?

[lime aspen]

Oh, probably the black then?

[coarse crest]

Get someone to make Cerakey cosmos caps

[dim quartz]

lol

why is this guy spitting only?

[wet peak]

doesent sound easier

[lime aspen]

I wonder how good a black x-ray would look

[dim quartz]

idkk the dark blue ones are also good

[proven hearth]

black automotive car paint with flake

[coarse crest]

Wooting has some videos how you would take apart the case, it’s not very complicated if you follow the video guide. It’s either that or risk breaking a few switches

[dim quartz]

https://www.cerakey.com/products/full-set-v2

[coarse crest]

Those are your only two real options for switch removal

[dim quartz]

blank blue indigo

[coarse crest]

Opal flakes would be fire

[lime aspen]

Indigo looks good

[dim quartz]

they all do

[lime aspen]

So does the purple

[dim quartz]

i think i am gonna spend 1200 euros

and i buy them all hehe

[spring oar]

I thought they cost like $250.

[coarse crest]

Yo you could low key recreate the night sky with cerakeys if you get the right colors

[spring oar]

I prop mistaken it for a more expensive keycaps

[dim quartz]

nah full set is max max 150 w shipping

[devout light]

well UPS just told me its lost

[dim quartz]

u can some people in the discord probably did it

[coarse crest]

@dim quartz this is the winner

[dim quartz]

😭

[spring oar]

yeah, still less than gmk I've spent on

[dim quartz]

there ur just paying for the art work😭

here i am paying for spring problems

[spring oar]

If the green is darker, might get

[dim quartz]

what if i buy 2 sets (like A and B) and i do something like that

i am too stupid for it tho

[coarse crest]

Idk you gotta take the L and start from somewhere sometimes, changing springs shouldn’t take too long if you do really want ceras

[lime aspen]

Spring swap is probably like 1h

Maybe 1.5

[humble oyster]

Full car shock in every key

[lime aspen]

Would be expensive

[spring oar]

Red and Indigo looks perfect to me. Both of other blue option is an almost.

[dim quartz]

no no set a and b

[dim quartz]

a on the left and b on the right

[coarse crest]

Fire

[dim quartz]

u can buy it also like that

[lime aspen]

Would look so good on black cases

[coarse crest]

Kinda jealous ngl

[dim quartz]

i will order them and change only the spacebar if there is problems

[lime aspen]

I'm so excited to see x-ray on my tofu build

[dim quartz]

BRO FUCKING HELL

am spending too much on this

am gonna ask my accountant

[lime aspen]

Coward

[coarse crest]

Somethings are worth doing right 🙏🏻

[humble oyster]

Assume you have infinite money

[coarse crest]

End result is gonna be dope af

[dim quartz]

😂

[humble oyster]

I think that means yes

[coarse crest]

You should start your own cerakey GB @dim quartz

[dim quartz]

💀

he's gonna read this probably

[dim quartz]

YES

i am gonna make a huge one

and scam everybody

[coarse crest]

RAMA Works taking notes

[devout light]

I assume getting a replacement 80HE is going to take a while right?

[spring oar]

Might get Cerakeys if I get bored with my gmk

[humble oyster]

I got 20 dollar drop skylights

[coarse crest]

New year new keycaps

[humble oyster]

I wish the valiants were in stock

[dim quartz]

i am their CEO

[proven hearth]

@lime aspen help me hijack my ship to get my monitor here

[dim quartz]

u can buy my set hhahaga

[coarse crest]

WHERE MY LAZURITE ARTISAN KEYCAPS AT YOU DEVIL

https://tenor.com/view/angry-angry-cat-mad-cat-mad-death-stare-gif-2007099240114134459

I was very sad when RAMA scammed the artisans but I’ve made my peace with something more expensive and cool

[spring oar]

Gimme context

[coarse crest]

Gemstone artisan keycaps is what I moved onto

[vague prism]

i want this sticker

[coarse crest]

Or unless you mean what happened to them

[spring oar]

this one

[tired epoch]

Does anyone know what Batch EU-Bij is? I used to be in Kampioen 🤔

[dim quartz]

bro idkkk

[tight cypress]

[coarse crest]

So I tried to scour the web for the brass gold artisan keycaps for my 2021 GMK set and you literally cannot find them anywhere online. So I tried to ask around and someone in here @ed me and said that RAMA scammed the artisan caps for lazurite with all the other ones and never delivered them

So nobody ever got theirs

[dim quartz]

am gonna buy them

w black case tho

will they look good?

[coarse crest]

What are you buying?

[dim quartz]

the two sets

[coarse crest]

Oh right, yeah I dig the black alpha side keys and navy main keys

I think they’ll look great esp if you can do cool RGB effects to simulate stars

Or do like an aurora effect

[spring oar]

judging from this, looks good to me

[humble oyster]

It is a good sticker isn't it

[dim quartz]

😻😻

[coarse crest]

It was also my idea so I’m a little biased

[dim quartz]

who sent u that

[coarse crest]

Or partially

[spring oar]

its on their product page for this color of cerakeys

[dim quartz]

wdym

[dim quartz]

oh lol I'm clueless

[coarse crest]

It’s what you just linked the Black side keys and the navy blue alpha middle keys

[dim quartz]

idk what i read

😭

i think i will order them

and I'll spend some time thinking about how much i love wasting my money

[spring oar]

don't worry, I experienced the same when I realized I've spent as much on upgrade to the point I can get a second 80he

[coarse crest]

If you like it and aren’t going into debt for it is what matters

[wise solar]

Hi

I will buy this keyboard one day I promise

[coarse crest]

My copium is I get 3% cash back on all online purchases, so w/e I buy is discounted

[wise solar]

I just need to become a millionaire

[dim quartz]

i worked all summer and spent my money on nothing

[grizzled cove]

anyone got the issue when u spam ur backspace, the keystrokes kinda stack and then all go at once or smth? idk its kinda odd

[humble cargo]

sure glad am not overspending on this thing

[dim quartz]

maybe it's ur pc?

did u rule that out

[grizzled cove]

it started happening with my wooting

[coarse crest]

Don’t have to go crazy with it, but it’s fun seeing a deeply customized Wooting in the wild

[dim quartz]

did u try 1k polling

[coarse crest]

Adds a lot of flair and personality to it

[humble cargo]

there's tons of them

[spring oar]

Biggest worry naow is 80he arriving at my doorstep

[grizzled cove]

do u happen to know where the polling setting is in wootility

nvm found it

[coarse crest]

Big true, I think I’m gonna pull the trigger on my artisan this afternoon

[humble cargo]

kinda curious how many 60HE users in this discord has done some sort of modification to it vs using it stock

[grizzled cove]

changing it to 1k fixed it, tyty

[spring oar]

waow, artisan, I think that is what left before my 80he is fully decked out

[coarse crest]

It’s more expensive than I want to spend on an artisan, but it’s real gemstones so I’m willing to leave that at the door. It’s too perfect 😢

[dim quartz]

does it work now?

cuz that sometimes (rare cases) can cause problems

[spring oar]

As long as you're happy

[coarse crest]

I’ll be very happy once it’s all together

[coarse crest]

It’s technically all my rewards free $ is paying for it

[spring oar]

Waow
