As part of a larger redesign and optimization of the Discord, we're merging the two (soon to be three) modding threads into just using the channel as a whole.

We're keeping the threads open for replies shortterm, and will keep them archived for posterity longterm to allow for people to look up the mountains of knowledge and answers already present there.

Hope Y'all like the change šŸ™‚

Yoooo

So empty still ..

tall hollow
#

Not anymore

#

My wooting so far (still waiting for that darn aluminum case)

#

Keycaps go hard with the strap

I wonder if Wooting aluminum case will have a place for the strap

#

oh yeah, ive been wondering

#

does using 50g springs instead of 60g reduce upstroke noise a bit?

#

i mean in theory it should, right?

#

im also still waiting for the qmx clips ive ordered to arrive. will report back when they're here on whether it makes a large difference or not

tall hollow
#

It doesn’t change the sound at all

balmy minnow
#

well that's mildly disappointing

#

might still try them at some point but i still hope the qmx clips do their thing well

Not the greatest pictures but I'm happy with the mods I did

Only thing that helped silence them for me was lubing the switches

balmy minnow

i'm waiting for the qmx clips, they should arrive either tomorrow if dpd is doing its thing well enough or after easter

somber scroll
#

Oh okay lmao

balmy minnow
#

and if they silence upstroke well enough i'll try them with SA caps to make sure the downstroke isn't silenced

hi, stupid question but does wooting support normal keycaps? i wanna buy custom ones (im wondering cuz the lekker switches)

pale spear

We use cherry stem like everyone else. OEM and Cherry work just fine. Others also probably.

pale spear

alright,

thx

#

@bronze grove thanks, I feel like we have graduated to big boy pants now. Our own real channel.

bronze grove
#

And it saves me from having to make another thread just for the UwU šŸ˜„

stray tiger
#

The truth comes out haha.

shy basalt
bronze grove
#

Yeah definitely - And outside of case mods, there's a huge overlap between the three.

stray tiger
#

@tall hollow yes to answer your question from earlier, you can pretty much take any GH60/DZ60 compatible top/gasket mount case and use it for the wooting if you have a new plate made. You have to modify the plate for (in this case the Hive60) to include plate mount stabs cutouts and standoff holes (preferably countersunk) and then have it cut in something stiff enough not to flex. I like to test with a 3d printed version first before I have one cut.

stray tiger
#

The Hive60 will be the 4th one I've tried and I usually have @shell cove do the CAD work for me, but I bribe him with PayPal. Once the file is made and tested though, I share them with the community for free.

prime blade
#

Quick question, is it possible to over lube a spring?

potent pawn
#

yeah it will end up all mushy

#

we have all been there lol

stray tiger
#

I just use flavored lube though so that if it happens I can enjoy removing the excess

Strapp confirmed.

#

For those who missed out on the awesome livestream.

somber scroll
bronze grove
#

Do note this is a very early prototype - Colours are 200% not finalized.
Not shown above but mentioned - Removable rubber feet with different heights for different angles.

stray tiger
#

Is the "strap gap" accent also going to be customizable?

bronze grove
#

To cover the cutout you mean?

stray tiger
#

Ive coined strap gap now so you cant use it officially

#

yeah

bronze grove
#

It's an ongoing discussion. I know we've been brainstorming it with potential solutions like a rubber piece you can push in. But since it's an opening on both the top and side, it's not an easy thing to plug.

stray tiger
#

Just offer a few anodized choices like that gold or silver and like a basic e-white & black and you'll probably be good. Then people can paint the white or black one to match their builds

bronze grove
#

So just bare metal, no paint finish or coating.

untold wigeon
#

bare metal šŸ’€

#

thats durable

untold wigeon
#

i have the feeling that i will spend a lot of money on the wooting store in the future

bronze grove
#

Because it's a metal slab? You can't easily remove a kickstand, but you can take out the rubber feet? Or so I imagine the reasoning is. I just work in customer support.

tough rapids
#

is it possible to just buy the swiches and build a keybaord off the swicthes or does the wootility software need the pcb to work?

tall hollow
bronze grove
#

TLDR; Anything is possible in theory, doing a custom Lekker based keyboard requires engineering experience and programming help.

tall hollow
bronze grove
#

The feet are rubber. Push in, swap out.

tall hollow
#

Ohhh

#

Interesting

bronze grove
#

I couldn't get a good screenshot of him doing it midstream. You can watch the VOD and see.

tall hollow
#

Also that filler bracket is interesting

#

It’s that to add like an accent color or something?

#

Because you can totally not machine it and not have a gap.

bronze grove
#

Yep. Accent.

#

To make it slightly less of a rectangular box and have some kind of visual aesthetic cue that is "ours" aside from the strap.

tall hollow
#

Also i really hope that they make the usb port hole bigger to have the O ring mod have some room to flex.

#

Like on the FB60

#

Also I’m not sure if they mentioned it, but is coloring going to be achieved through Anodizing or Electroplating?

bronze grove
#

No details yet - I'm sure once Calder and co are ready to share more, they will go into more details about all of this. šŸ™‚

tall hollow
#

I see, they’re probably still experimenting with a lot of things

bronze grove
#

It's the same manufacturer as the brass UwU cases, so I imagine there will be a lot of discussion about both in the coming weeks.

gray shoal
#

If I order a klippe T 60% case is there anything else I need to order? So I can case swap/mod my wooting 60 he.

If I want to burger mount will I need to look for orings?

stray tiger
#

Its a drop in replacement so no modifications needed. If you want to burger mount then yes youll need some orings

somber scroll
#

Would orings do much for sound in the default case? Or are they really more for aluminum cases to reduce ping?

stray tiger
#

Correct

#

They are providing a little bit of isolation from the PCB being directly on the standoffs.

tall hollow
#

and no, you can use the original screws with the klippeT

#

so no need to buy extra hardware.

fading holly
stray tiger
#

If you're going with a Klippe though, you should give friction fitting a try. Grab a size M https://graveshift.com/products/graveshift-m-o-rings

GraveShift

M for medium! These are standard sized to fit most 65% keyboards as well as some 60%. PLEASE READ THE CHART BELOW FIRST! There is also a chart for you to see if your board is on our checked list. If it is not on our chart, we do not recommend buying it, and you are buying at your own risk. If you are located in Canada,

They also have a non-US site I think if youre elsewhere

does the wooting sound pingy for you guys as well after modding? i’m curious if it’s just me (i think it’s my alu case or due to material of the wooting plate) bc i can’t get rid of it even after adding various foams

lime lintel
#

So I got a question, I'm in the middle of designing a case for my wooting and I was wondering if anyone knew on top of their head what is the size of the screws used in the keyboard?

pastel pewter
#

it must be the plate material ig

#

😦

#

it bothers me but i’ll get used to it i suppose

lime lintel
#

Thanks @bronze grove

somber parrot
#

So i checked that spreadsheet of the compatible cases for the 60he but like, half are not good or discontinued

#

are those the only cases compatible so far?

bronze grove
#

Those are the ones the community have checked with. There may be more out there - Links are also typically only to a single vendor. You might be able to several of them elsewhere.

somber parrot
#

true

#

The only one I know is completely gone is the Tofu case. That's definitely one you'll need to hunt second hand for.

somber parrot
#

im trying to find a tofu or a blade

#

but no dice

#

honestly i would stay with this case if i find some custom straps on esty

#

let me see if there are some

bronze grove
#

Doubt you will find any advertised - But if you find any makers on etsy doing leather straps or stuff with textile, you can usually ask for a custom order. Lemme grab the measurements for you.

i wanna make a cyberpunk themed keyboard for this

i followed that for a year

I half forgot I even ordered the Neo Tokyo, and by the time it delivered I had sold the keyboard it was bought for. So I sold them for what I paid and bought a different set that fit my current 60HE case...well one of them.

you cant mess something up if you just follow the official tutorIal videos like these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN_-GYLTfpY&t=426s

Always wondered how you can lubricate your lekker switches or grease your stabilizer wire. In this video, we will deep dive on different methods of lubing and some general tips and tricks. Using the Wooting 60HE.

damn i already ordered my keyboard and wrist thingy but didnt include lube.

quiet bay

so lube only changes sound of it?

#

i might add it on my order

oh hell nah brother this looks soo hard to do..im too scared šŸ˜„

It is not hard. Is easy, just time consuming. Don't be scared.

i just had a lot of keyboards and I didnt like them at all.. I think my best one is ducky one 2 mini..but i spend over 800€ for keyboards in total..but now im ordering this and I like it a lot from videos

so im a bit scared you know i dont want to mess up something that would damage my keyboard

That video explains it very well šŸ™‚

oh my order reached the weight limit..cant order it

im going to lube it definitly..what a nice sound

The most important thing is that you take your time

No tape mod for me with a brass plate

tall hollow
normal schooner

ok sensei

tall hollow
#

Or at least give it a try

normal schooner
#

I try

tall hollow
#

It’s not hard, and it’s cheap

#

And you can always use the tape for something else when you’re done with it

normal schooner
#

will this do?

tall hollow

That’s what I used

normal schooner
tall hollow

Yeah

normal schooner

but it isnt esd proof is that ok>?

Although it is something to look out for

@glossy pagoda can i ask your second opinion on this?

no offense ducky I just want to be sure šŸ™‚

tall hollow

Oh yeah that’s ok.

stuck abyss

What’s the point of taking switches off and making them ā€œsouth facingā€

glossy pagoda
#

I've never tap modded a keyboard, dunno

glossy pagoda

But as long as it doesn't leave a residue and doesn't conduct, should be fine I assume

tall hollow
stuck abyss

Is it worth doing

Ohhh

normal schooner

alright fair enough šŸ™‚

stuck abyss

I got these ones

tall hollow
stuck abyss

I should be good without having to switch it right

Ohhh

tall hollow

Ahh okay okay I’ll go on and switch it then

#

I just have to pull them out and turn them upside down basically right?

tall hollow
#

Yeah

iron bear
#

I've also never tape modded, adhesives degrade over time and can leave residue on the PCBA and just don't think that it changes that much on this board

tall hollow
tall hollow
stuck abyss
#

@tall hollow I see, is the tape mod preference?

tall hollow
iron bear
#

Rather just change to a custom plate

stuck abyss
#

@tall hollow okay I see I see

iron bear
#

Tape modding is in our opinion is the easiest and most rewarding mod you can do. Overall the tape mod makes your keyboard more poppy, but sometimes the results are neglectable. That's why we will be testing the masking tape mod in this video.

Hey guys. I've read https://blog.wooting.nl/how-to-silence-and-sound-dampen-your-mechanical-keyboard/ and I think wooting keyboards are the only ones one can use with both landing pads and o-rings, since the users themselves can regulate the activation (or dual activation/release) points, am I right? Never had a mechanical keyboard before and want to dampen the sound as much as possible so my gf doesn't strangle me in my sleep

#

Or while gaming

normal schooner
#

who is that guy in the video

#

is that sander?

tall hollow
#

Sure, it’s dead silent, but I don’t think it’s worth that trade off.

floral vale
tall hollow
#

Hmm

#

Well I don’t like the muted sound it makes

#

I prefer to have a decently audible keyboard

floral vale
#

I do and they're great for what they do. Less harsh bottom out, no finger/joint pain, less noise and less total travel distance šŸ˜‰

tall hollow
#

I do fine without o rings lol

floral vale

Until you're old and the steel plate starts to feel hard on your fingers!

fierce cradle
#

Would you be able to type on the keyboard with a newborn in the same room without waking it?

#

I mean, I don't have one, but I'm thinking about the future level of noise the keyboard will have to make (well, not make) :P

fierce cradle
#

(Also, landing pads seem to be conspicuously hard to get)

tall hollow
#

Lower number = softer

#

Higher number = harder

fierce cradle
#

And what are the lowest and highest numbers one can reasonably obtain?

tall hollow
#

I’m not entirely sure how the scale works

floral vale
floral vale
#

Goes up to 90A

#

The lowest I've seen are 40A. Most O-rings are 40-50A. But then there are 70A rings on some EU retailer shops, afaik glorious makes them. Then mechanicalkeyboards.com has 80A and 90A.

#

90A are out of stock.

fierce cradle
#

I'm most concerned about the keycaps hitting the board sound - does anyone happen to have experience with wooting kb + landing pads?

fierce cradle
floral vale
#

IIRC

fierce cradle

Wait, you're putting two o-rings in a single keycap or is that 1.5|2.5 some other dimension?

Ooookay, I'm gonna try with 1.5mm first, probably ;). Thanks for the info!

You will deform the films, but it turned out to be a non issue for me.

Like it won’t be in its original shape when you try to put it back together.

I had to do a little wire balancing on my spacebar

they ping both sides except the middle

Pretty generic

Ohhhh

Holee mod those stabs

there's not any rattle I dont think it's just the pinging part

they were pre clipped

Stab pads?

Ok ig that counts

maybe it's the stem of the stab

either that or its actually the wire

tall hollow

Could be, you pressed in your spacebar as far down as it can go?

yeah

ok it actually might be the wire

#

tofu60 walnut, lubed everything inside the switches, case foam with one layer removed, kinda burger mounted

#

og foam I mean

tall hollow
#

It’s probably the case that contributed the most.

#

And the fact that the switches are lubed

grizzled path
#

yeah the lubing did the most probably, I just did it 2 days ago. with the factory lube the sound was pretty high-pitched

tall hollow
#

Yeah

#

I also filmed and padded my switches

#

To get a deeper sound and to get rid of the rattle from the housing and reducing the stem wobble.

grizzled path
#

maybe someday I'll bother doing more, really want to get the wobble fixed for sure

#

but I broke like 5 switches so I'm not in a hurry to open this thing up again

tall hollow
#

Oof

grizzled path
#

or to be exact I broke the north-side clips on 5 switches, they work just fine and wobble as much as with the clip so it's fine

If you need to lift the PCB up, note the tiny grounding wire that needs to be lifted and put back afterwards.

As I'm just gonna lube the switches, I only need to take out the top plate and can leave the pcb in the case, right?

Badseed Tech has voiced his concerns with the distance and operation of the Lekker switch getting messed up. That may be fine, but I wonder, if you go to a 1 mm actuation will it be 1,2 in total or something? The distance surely is increased. The question is: is there any downside to going beyond the 4,0 mm mark? Will the magnets no longer recognize the switch? Or is there a chance that the onboard drivers may fail with a value beyond 4,0 mm?

# iron jacinth Badseed Tech has voiced his concerns with the distance and operation of the Lekk...

im not too sure how you would move the switch 4 mm, but i think that everything should be fine as long as the magnum cylinder that holds the magnet reaches the bottom of the housing like its supposed too, if it doesn't then i assume there will be a change in how far the switch can actuate, because you are physically limiting the range of motion the switch has.

same thing with switch pads, maybe the hall effect sensors would + .5mm, or something along those lines, I think that if the wooting team added a offset option in the wootility, that is if the hardware is capable, then it wouldnt be much of an issue. Than again, im not a keyboard engineer so i don't really know

The Brutal60 CNC aluminum keyboard in our Brutalist Series of in stock keyboards. The compatible PCBs available are QMK/VIA supported and USB-C, and the mounting style is a slightly modified top mount called Burger Mount. Burger Mount takes the evenness from top mount and uses o-rings on the mounting screws to make the typing experience slightly less harsh.

upbeat delta

The problem is this part here

And the fact that Lekker sliders are wider than normal

So films need some different shape to regular switch film, or you just use thick switch film that doesn't have a middle part and squish it in there. Doesn't look the cleanest, but kinda works.

no worries, but if we think about it more deeply, if you have an optimal (for you) feeling setup with nice feeling switches, keycaps you like to press, then that can have an effect on performance for sure

@tall hollow help me understand a few things. Ive been in the keyboard scene for years and Ive never experienced switch films fixing a stem wobble issue. Switch films are made to fix housing wobble, but not stem wobble. See this image from this reddit thread for example (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/sex58b/for_those_of_you_that_say_films_help_with_stem). I want to make sure you're not referring to housing wobble.

The other thing Ive seen you mention is telling people to clip the legs off their stabs as a blanket statement whenever someone says they are having a stabilizer problem, but not only is clipping the legs not ideal for everyone, I've now seen 2 people in here take your advice and almost ruin their stabilizers.

To be clear, I'm all for experimenting, modding and helping the community grow, but we have to be careful not to push opinion as fact or blanket fixes that can actually make things worse.

tall hollow
stray tiger
#

The wooting housings are some of the tightest stock Ive seen (maybe outside of the Holy Pandas), did you have housing wobble on a lot of your switches?

tall hollow
#

its to the point where you can hear it creak almost.

#

it was quite strange

stray tiger
#

I think for films to affect stem wobble by fixing housing wobble, you would need some very significant housing wobble to begin with and I havent seen anything close to that in the few hundred lekkers Ive looked at.

tall hollow
#

dunno what happened with my batch lol

stray tiger
#

It could happen for sure, but if your housings are that wobbly, then I'd agree you had something wrong

grizzled path
#

all the switches fit and sit very tightly on the plate for me as well, the stem however is a different story

stray tiger
#

Yes, my lekkers do have stem wobble, no doubt about it. Films however are not going to fix that

tall hollow
stray tiger
#

How do they benefit? Specifically what is the problem you are solving when you clip them?

tall hollow
stray tiger
#

Ive clipped dozens of stab legs, so I know the answer. Im more asking you what it fixes that people here are experiencing

stray tiger
#

All Im asking is before you suggest a mod, make sure it's beneficial to the problem people are having. The stabs in their stock form (after lubing) are amazing for 95% of the people

tall hollow
#

but anyways, it helps reduce the sound the stabilizer makes when it bottoms out onto the pcb.

#

when you clip them

grizzled path
#

'

stray tiger
#

Ive only ever clipped stab legs to make them feel less mushy, Ive never had it reduce any sounds, if anything it's made it a little clackier as the legs tend to cushion the stab at bottom at (hence the mushy feel)

tall hollow
#

well I cant possibly control every possible variable lol

#

or know of them

stray tiger
#

Another thing is that while I love modding (and I waste a ton of money doing it), modding for modding sake because someone saw it on a youtube video is usually a bad idea. Mods should be done to fix specific problems or chase specific results.

#

These boards arent cheap and seeing people spend money to fix a problem that doesnt exists or chase a cure for something that cant be cured, hurts my soul a little. All Im saying is please be a little more careful about blanket fixes and statements.

tall hollow
stray tiger
#

I do appreciate your comments and activity though! I love your engagement and willingness to help!

untold wigeon
#

I mean as a person that tried clipping one of their stabs

#

I actually prefer the stabs with the legs tbh

stray tiger
#

For sure, often times its trial and error

tall hollow
#

and its especially hard when you arent there in person to test it

untold wigeon
#

I mean if you have the ability modding it to try out and figure out what works for you isn't bad but at the same time a lot of stuff is kinda spending money on something that won't fix your problem

stray tiger
#

@tall hollow thats 100% true, which is why I was saying just be aware that a fix for you might not be a fix for someone else, it might make even make it worse. Just be sure you let them know the issue you had and what your fix was and why you think it fixed it. I try to ask a lot of questions to understand exactly the problem and for things like stem wobble, its not something you're going to cure easily if at all. If your films help and its because they are warped and pressed against the stems, that not a fix Id suggest for others.

tall hollow
#

my housings werent very good for some reason with their tolerances.

stray tiger
#

Was that before or after you lubed them?

tall hollow
stray tiger
#

So your housing had significant wobble before you ever opened them to lube them? Yeah def sounds like you had a rare bad batch

untold wigeon
#

Mine are ok, definitively could use with less wobble but not the worst

#

What counts as significant wobble?

stray tiger
#

Yeah mine are acceptable, not the tightest, but in their stock form they are pretty tight. However most switches develop a little housing wobble after opening them to lube.

tall hollow
#

thats how bad it was

untold wigeon
#

If anybody could send a video to reference

tall hollow
stray tiger
#

Yeah that would help me understand too. The creaking, might not be due to wobble but if you see the housings actually wobbling in their stock form, thats bad

untold wigeon
#

Yea, just wondering if I should film mine to remove the wobble

I've heard conflicting things about whether or not you can use foam pads under the switches.

I would assume not since they rely on a pretty consistent distance between the magnets existing?

#

I have some .5mm poron ones laying around from a previous build and was wondering if they would work with the Wooting

patent gazelle
#

As in between the bottom housing of the switches and the plate?

haughty delta
#

Yee

#

Or PCB, not plate

patent gazelle
#

Well, the switches don't touch the PCB, except for the positioning pins going through the holes.

#

And I don't believe the magnetized portion of the switch actually touches the PCB at full bottom-out either, so.

haughty delta
#

I just assumed that the foam would increase the distance between the magnets and cause them to not function correctly, but if they don't fully touch the PCB anyway there's probably room

#

I might try it

somber scroll
haughty delta
#

Oh that's a good idea

#

Thank you

tall hollow
#

Not poron foam.

#

Oh wait pads

#

Yeah I used switch pads

#

My bad

#

They were about half a mm thick

#

And they were poron foam

tall hollow
patent gazelle
#

Yeah, that's what I figured.

#

I guess I'm not clear on what switch pads underneath on the PCB would really accomplish, besides adding another layer of sound absorption for ambient sound generated by other components.

#

I could see the plate foams making a bigger difference since they actually affect the mechanical coupling between the switch housing and the plate, but those would also lose you some of the range of the key travel, since presumably the top end of the Hall effect sensitivity tops out someplace near the top of the key travel.

#

So you might lose out on some actuation distance, commensurate with the thickness of the plate pads.

tall hollow
#

So it does have a little tolerance before it starts freaking out.

#

Just a little bit of tolerance

Ah, makes sense. Still, seems like at some point you'd be fighting against the sensitivity of the sensors vs noise, especially as you move the magnets farther away from the PCB over their entire length of travel.

The trouble with pads is that they're soft.

#

So the switch has a constant movement to it that it otherwise wouldnt - That throw's off the sensor potentially.

Of course results will vary - Especially on whether or not you're using Tachyon and more sensitive you've set the switches in the app. šŸ˜„

Hey I just wondering if I can use other keyboard case for the wooting two HE

#

(I'm purely a newbs on keyboard thingy)

bronze grove
#

No such thing exists. You'd have to fabricate something from scratch.

#

Keyboards are generally not something you can swap the case of.

It's more of a lucky happenstance with the 60HE due to the GH60 PCB standard becoming very popular and staying popular. Lots og different PCBs and this cases sprung up.

I see.. thanks for the info!

#

But i can change the keycaps right?

bronze grove
#

Sure can.

Does anyone have experience using o rings on the keycaps? I don’t use the analog functionality of my 60he. I just set rapid trigger to the lowest setting. Will o rings impact the keyboard if I only use it that way?

You mean don’t set it to 4mm?

#

I set it to .1 or .15 whatever the lowest value is

#

If you can get the thickness of the o ring you can find out how low it can go

Okay cool

#

Preferably higher than the thickness of the o ring

#

Thanks for the info

#

Have you tried it yourself?

tall hollow
#

But it’s not ideal

#

Also I don’t like the squishy bottom out feel

#

I’ve case swapped with foam and tape modded and used silicon stand-off covers

#

Gonna lube it once the semester is over

#

Figured o rings were my best next bet

Honestly, it’s all preference

#

And seeing the amount of mods that you already did anything more might just bring more tradeoffs than benefits.

#

Although lubing the switches is always something you can do.

any way to pull out lekker switches without scuffing the paint on the plate?

Where can I find films that work with the lekker switches?

Hello, quick question: any specific keycaps are needed for the 60he?

Correct

Aluminum case recommendations for 60HE? Originally wanted a Blade60 but it doesn't seem like it's in stock anywhere, and the Tofu60 1.0 seems like it's discontinued.

pliant mesa
#

Recommendations preferably under $200?

sleek grove
#

It’s out of stock unfortunately

#

Nice case though

Got it, I'll look into all those. Is the Blade60 also being discontinued? I don't recall who, but someone was claiming that was the case on the subreddit.

Not sure tbh
