I already have it, got a e white off someone in nz secondhand market, but i sent it to anodise it black
Ah, so it is gone for a while
The sound profile is really close to my baldr60
Im getting it back next monday
What my wooting looks like rn
Bought the fjell for 300nzd and 80 for anodising
Still cheaper than 367usd
really wish i checked the list of cases before i bought the kbdfans 5 degree case, having to move it to the left is playing with my ocd 
Yea i sold my tofu60 cos of that
might just get the mojo60 since it's the only case i can find that looks to have no issues and is available in the uk
yeah i thought about the psd60 also but i don't really like how it looks
Smarter Shopping, Better Living! Aliexpress.com
This should also work
Idk just feel like mojo60 isnt worth the money
i wonder if the maze64 is coming in stock anytime soon
also thanks for that, i'll take a look
this looks pretty good
better looking than my psd60 at least
does the Klippe T have any issues? saw a few posts on it and it does look pretty decent but it's a bit on the pricier side
most of the people who have it said that theres been no issues. at least when it comes to fit
omg the red case look fire. a much deeper red than ive seen on others.
why does case swapping have to be so complicated đĽ˛
i find tuning stabilizers to be the hardest part of the whole process
yeah i managed to get my durock stabs pretty good
used precut poron strips for my holee mod
Is it possible to put foam between the plate and the PCB?
On the 60? Already there.
Nice
Anders be the goat frl
Hey guys, I got my wooting a couple weeks ago, changed the case, lubbed the switches and o-ring mod. It feels and sounds great, but if you listen closely to the video you can notice that the number row sounds a lot deeper than the other keys in the middle (I noticed the bottom row also has a deeper sound), what do you guys think is causing this? This was my first experience of modding a keyboard, I'm new to this.
its normal
there are some things you can do... im not completely sure but one thing that affects it is the mounting
it could also be the keycaps, the number row is longer
so, it produces a deeper tone
you can try burger mounting the keeb
As qiko said, the higher profile cap of the number row creates a deeper sound. Also, due to this being a plate mount board, its not uncommon to hear tonal differences around the mounting points.

orginal case>fb60
Im digging these o-rings. They are not only abrasion resistant but also resisitant. Plus they allow me to Do Home Fix Easy Way
Why is that?
hello, I need help, my wooting 60he just arrived and I went to download its software and it doesn't turn on anymore
Re-pasting for additional feedback
Does anyone have a preference over the Posidon60 vs freebird60?
Looks like the freebird60 can only fit 3 out of the 4 screws, might sway me away for that reason
Freebird60 - $78
Poseidon PSD60 - $59.80

3 is enough imo its not like your keyboard is going for a jog
but im not a wooting engineer
canât wait to put my wooting in my blade60
did u connect the keyboard to the software
Here's my Wooting 60HE with XMI keycaps (L9 beige material colour with deep red legends and grey cadet sublegends). They're thick dyesub PBT caps in Cherry profile. I'm considering putting some mint mods on there, 9009 style, but I can't quite make my mind up.
I tried the stock Wooting PBT caps, and while they're not bad, the OEM profile was a bit taller than I'm used to, and I prefer solid legends rather than shine-through.
The surface of the Wooting PBT caps is interesting; it's quite coarse and grippy. The XMI ones are a lot smoother. Maybe too smooth, almost like there's just a thin layer of flour or dust on an otherwise completely smooth surface. I much prefer the feel of Leopold and especially Varmilo PBT keycaps, but with XMI you get a huge selection of languages, sublegends, and colours to choose from, so I still recommend them. The dyesub quality is quite good. I find the legends sharper than on ePBT, for example.
I'm giving the stock case a chance first, to see how I like it, but I feel an aluminium case looming in my future.
Looks nice!
How does GH60 compare to tofu60? Feeling like switching from white tofu to black but since tofu is discontinued I need to find alternatives đ
I guess psd60 would also do the job, hmm
Which case is the GH60 @elder hollow ?
Probably this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32540926035.html
#đŹâgeneral message The typing angle is quite different. It's very flat if ones not using the feet
Anyone have a picture using the PSD60?
I'd say to check out these customer reviews, here is an example of a nice build with the PSD60
What thickness of heat shrink do I use for stab wires?
1.5mm~ maybe? here's a link to some https://keygem.com/products/keygem-stab-shrinks-20pcs
KEYGEM Stab Shrinks / 20pcs Inspired by the idea of RAMA WORKSŽ we decided to offer shrink for stabilizers to decrease the sound of the wire hitting the surface of the housing. Material: Polyolefine Size: 6mm length and 1.6mm diameter We recommend to shrink it with a hairdryer, heat from a soldering iron (no direct co
But just using Molykote or Dielectric grease & even Krytox 205G0 works good enough without needing to use those Shrinks, but it's just up to preference đ
Heat shrink insulation on stab wires!!??
Oh thatâs funny that they make them specifically for stabs. Makes sense I guess haha
Yeah Iâm going to molykote them for sure
Lol yeah. Itâs like holee but goes on the wire instead of on the stem
Yes & there's better ways to shrink them too than just using the soldering iron https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3da8CMV2_M
GUIDE: https://rama.works/guides#/silencing-stabilisers/
OVERVIEW: https://youtu.be/PSKVT1xxCnk
Shrink Tube: RS 113-2344
Ig they still classify as âwiresâ so ig the can be heat shrinked if you were a snob for zero tolerance of any continuity to ground/live.
Are they any different from the typical heat shrink tubing you can find in your hardware store?
Doubt it. Just precut and the right diameter
Other than the color, most definitely not
If you go for it, let us know how it goes
Will do. Probably will just get some normal stuff at the store. I got some on Amazon but the smallest is definitely too big whoops
The one from AliExpress yeah
I see, thanks for the photo! Think I'll rather go with Poseidon if I decide to change the case soln
Ahh the low profile case. I think you can get them from Amazon too. Completely different from the Poseidon
The ones from Mekanisk are the nicest though (IMO.) like the Fjell
A bit too fancy for my taste
They got the Klippe T which is kinda like the Tofu
If they had an EU retailer I might consider it
They're from Norway
Really
I guess I didn't look well enough
Shipping is still expensive af lol đ
Yeah I can just find the page with US pricing?

Yeah the pricing is in $
Weird

i have a fjell ama
total cost to eu country was 420 usd
taxes and shipping was not included
christ
I just went for the klippe because I liked the look of it and it was more affordable
don't suppose anyone knows if the maze64 has restocks?
i was owndering if filming the switches make ad iff
better bideo please
none exists at the moment
If you have super loose top housings it definitely can but otherwise probably not much point
yes reduces the wobble in the lekker switches
what films is everyone using?
does anybody not have super loose housing đ
all lekker switches are wobbly asf
perfect. got some films
Does it matter what kind of films u use? Like is there a difference in between them? Never used films before
not really
Fair enough 
Might give it a shot
If you get ones that have an inner bar you gotta cut that
The ones that are basically just a rectangle work better. They donât quite fit the lekkers but the rectangles just deform a bit and are fine
Will keep that in mind, thanks for the tip!
Dunno if anyone posted before but someone wanted to know if the cerakeys cermaic keycaps worked and yes they do. Found I didnt need to rotate any switches, but the space bar return is def a little slower. However it does return fully allowing you to set sensitivity up to 0.1mm just fine
With the LEDs off
U got a sound test? đ
Second on that sound test
@quiet bay @shell geode
Sound test on an otherwise unmodded Wooting keyboard with Ceramic keycaps
Recorded on a Blue Yeti
Wow, it's really got that poppy sound
Which keycaps
Cerakeys ceramic keycaps
I waiting on my cerakeys
Iâm mass lubing and filming all my lekker switches but the films donât arrive until Monday - getting .15 mm â- does anyone know if I put the magnet stems in a bag together if it will mess them up? They keep snapping together so I have to space them super wide but donât have enough room
Also anyone know if tape mod interferes at all?
Like is it bad if this happens
Not really. Just gets lube everywhere when you have to peel them apart from each other again. 

This is why I did 5 switches at a time when lubing. Because any more and my little desk would mean I'd put them too close and make them all chase each other
Thank you!!! Hahaha havenât started lubing them yet because of this- just wanted to make sure I wasnât going to make the keyboard inoperable if they stayed stuck together for a couple days XD thanks!!!
I'm from Finland and this is what it says for me? Fjell 60% case
What case is that? Poseidon60?

Any idea where I can locate this livestream?
@glacial wind this design doesnât appear to have a center stand off as well
Their latest, starts at around 01:30 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1787135316
Oh very cool.
Honestly at the rate fb60 takes per restock I wouldnât be surprised if wooting released their case before the follow up freebird batch is in stock
Thank you
Hmm perhaps I should just hold off on my purchases til then. Iâll get what I can but hold off on the case. I noticed the wooting prototype has 5 stand offs with one being bottom right, the Freebird60 doesnât have that. But thatâs good to know. Super helpful to paint a picture of how itâll look. I assume theyâll keep all the same stand offs as well as the prototype shows
Freebird is supposed to restock in early May I was told
And center standoffs might or might not be a problem but that is often stated in the Case Compatibility chart. What Tirade says here #996573707235491950 message
That restock is all sold already
Youâll be trying to pick up any extras if they do have them which no guarantee they will
hey, i'm pretty new to custom keyboards and had a question. I've been researching the various mods. but i've found very differing opinions on putting o-rings inside keycaps to reduce the sound of bottoming out a key. is this something worth doing and does it somehow interfere with the performance/feel of the keyboard (reducing the analog range).
i haven't seen anyone who's done it to have problems there, but they also don't really change all that much honestly - at least no where near what a proper gasket mount board would have
was nicer to just have the wooting with cosmetic mods for gaming and a separate custom keyboard with f keys, gasket mount etc for work
Well the O-rings change the travel distance of the key and it feels wierd but as with everything would give it some time to readjust to this new feeling, if you have some laying around might just try it on some but it would probably interfere with the Lekker switch
Thanks J, look like Tirade was just mentioning that the wooting PCB uses the gh60/dz60 layout design with the standard stand offs. Freebird60 has all of those except 2 of them, itâs purpose to to help it not feel as harsh when bottoming out keys. But looks like Sno was able to make it all work from our previous conversations
I reached out to them directly but they said it should restock around may. I donât think they would completely stop their production on the case but honestly after seeing KBDfans do it to the Tofu, who knows
restock means when it arrives, but it's been presold
then they order next group buy batch
the may arrival is the group buy from like january or so
https://keebsforall.com/products/freebird60?variant=40287604310174 ''This is a Pre-Order product. It will ship in late April/May 2023.'' So would one go into the next batch then?

yeah next batch would be another 4 months or whatever
Sounds like youâre talking about O rings, donât do it. Makes it feel more mushy. People did it in the past more frequently to try to avoid the loud keyboard presses when streaming or just talking. With AI/noise suppression/noise gates this isnât really a problem anymore. O rings would also interfere with the lekkar switch due to its âcontrollerâ like design
Oh wow, you really think so?
that's how long it takes for a lot of group buys
Hmm, in that case maybe I should drop the cash on the Poseidon60
like i said there's a chance they'll have leftover extras from the incoming batch, but there's also no guarantee of that
I thought they would just restock, then ship it within a week so Iâd expect it around may 15 or so
Ah I see. Hmm, Iâll have to think about that
@glacial wind I guess I may ask again but what are your thoughts on the Poseidon60? Anything you donât particularly like? I think you mentioned typing angle? In case I end up going for it
i think it's good, the only downside of it is the logo on the back of it (but you won't see that in daily use)
it's basically a tofu with a logo on the back
Ah alright. Perfect. I appreciate the feedback once again
Also Sno, you donât by any chance work for wooting or anything right? Your replies are very consistent
nah just been around awhile
Haha gotcha, love the help, itâs always appreciated
The folks with purple or red names are Wooting staff. đ
Orange are volunteers who help with moderation and sometimes customer support.
Ah I see, good to know
Out of curiosity is there a stronger spring that'll work for the wooting keyboards? I think I would like one just for this ceramic spacebar. The weight def makes it feel a tad too easy to depress
Aliexpress coiled cable are good ? Some1 tested?
depends on vendor, some good, some bad - it's a giant site of companies
It's like Amazon. Always a gamble if you don't know the seller.
No quality control on vendors.
the most amazon vendors buying the cables on Ali anyways
if you want a decent quality cheap coiled cable i'd go for a reputable keyboard vendor, or cablemods sells $30 coiled cables too on amazon - but it has same issue as other long coiled cables with not enough power at max brightness
Mine is a Tofu60
Problem is the cost of delivery.. i bought 1 from aliexpress hope it will be good , had over 3k orders and good reviews only
Its 1.8m yeah i know i will need to lower the brightness a bit but no prob
Now i want to spray paint the 60he to white cuz i rly like the original case and some1 already spray painted in white and was so nice
- Lubed switch & stabilizer
- Monokei Series 1 WOB Keycaps
- Custom LEMO Cable
I'm still looking for an aluminum case, but I can't seem to find any, especially the Tofu 60. đĽ˛
how do I get the screws on the back off? none of them budge 
The...back?
in the wooting video they say to unscrew the back no?
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.
Krytox GPL 205G0 and Molykote EM-50L lubricant:
https://region.wooting.store/products/lubrication-set-krytox-205g0-molykote-em-50l
:...

Theyâre⌠glued? You have the 60HE? They shouldnât look glued at all lol
i dont mean that they are glued, they just dont budge
maybe im just too careful bc im scared to damage it
Hmm yeah. If youâre unscrewing then with the right bit they probably need a tiny bit of force initially but then they should come out fine

can confirm that this case works https://mechboards.co.uk/products/high-profile-60-aluminium-case for the wooting he60
is there a spreadsheet to document this?
Submit or request a review of a case by adding a comment or posting on discord
Idk if the community can modify it or if @bronze grove needs to add it
can i just contact him?
he was in this chat 10min ago
yay got them out now 
Yeah I need to adjust it. Well usually me or anyone else with access.
Just stumbled across this one on amazon too. random alibaba white-label product.
do you have any photos of it assembled with the wooting? would love to buy it too
==
=-['
:|;|?|++++++++++++++
oops
@ebon mural one sec i can't get my photos off my phone
forgot i had discord on my phone
how well does it fit? did you have to mess around with centering it?
a little but it just falls into place really and that was it
the case is just ever so slightly bigger than the original wooting case
don't suppose you could send a photo of the usb port?
that's perfect, thanks
np
i was actually thinking of getting that case before i got the 5 degree
wishing i did now since the 5 degree is some really awkward spacing
that sucks
anyone here have a nice thocky 60he?
awesome, thanks mate! is the typing angle similar to the original case? do you have a side by side from the maybe? thanks so much for taking your time!
one sec again
pretty much the same typing angle
I also used the foam that came with the original case (you just have to cut a hole in the middle for the centre screw)
I was thinking about doing some modding as I'm waiting on a batch for two keyboards to come in. Does anyone have the measurements of the two EPDM foam inserts?
My batches won't arrive till sometime in probably May but I wasn't sure if anyone could help.
Wait for me to make one
I was able to snag a Maze64 case on the r/mechmarket subreddit, you might be able to find one there!
Here's another example of XMI keycaps. This time I went closer to the classic 9009 colourway, but I let Caps Lock and Meta/Fn keep their red legends, to indicate their special layer status.
are there any more lists like this https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f for other mods?
Submit or request a review of a case by adding a comment or posting on discord
appreciate the tip, gonna look around and see if i can find one, thanks
Can confirm that this case works for the wooting\
Tofu copycat garbage
At least wooting has their version coming
So pretty!
everything stock, 3layers of painters tape + lubed switches. recorded with iphone 14, 7cm away from the spacebar.
Im kinda happy with it but I hate the spacebar and backspace sound. Not sure what to do to improve it. I was thinking about new caps and a new case.
I wouldve bought the tofu if it was available but it isnt
lube your stabs
PSD60 is in!
When would you screw in the middle screw?
Just curious but this case doesn't feel too high up when typing correct?
Sounds amazing. almost sounds over lubed, do the switches feel the same? No mushy feel or reduced motion of the switch?
how heavy did you go on the switches?
mind sending some pics?
After screwing in each corner just a tad bit, then screwing them all the way in once all of them fit
Not sure, but I do use a somewhat higher wrist rest
I dont really notice a difference.
pretty thick. I lubed them thinly when I first got the board but it wore off after 4 months of daily use, so I went with a little more this time.
Sounds a bit overdone ngl, but if you like it that way then so be it.
Finally back in business.
Tofu 60 acrylic, kuro Shiro caps
Quick dumb question, what's the space bar size on the 60he?
Tried googling a bit and I can't find it.
It's the standard 6.25 u.
I see, I plan not to use a wrist wrest. Not a fan of them but I was worried about the height of the case compared to my 4 degree case I'm currently using
results? đ¤
Will post later when I have available time to swap cases! đ
sounds pretty good to me. but before changing the case maybe change the stabs first
Just finished lubing the switches and noticed something on the pcb: Are these really markers for the band aid mod? Damn this is cool xD
@raven cave @gusty pilot thank you both!
@static tendon Next to the Baka60, the PSD60 is definitely lower and the angle isnt as high
Did anyone film their switches?
How do i have to change my films to make them fit?
People have. They need to just be the outer rectangle part. If you have any pieces that go thru the middle they need to be clipped off. No switches perfectly fit lekkers so they will deform (and thus wonât fit with a cross bar)
so i just have to cut off the cross bar?
If there is one. Some are just the outer rectangle
alright ! thanks for answering đ
See here as well (hard to see cuz itâs clear but the crossbar is snipped) @distant crescent
I can see it đ thanks đ
@untold wigeon can you send a comparison of the wood case you have compared to the default? Iâm curious on height and angle. The etsy listing has no details âšď¸
I don't have a sound test of the default but here
Just images haha. Not sound
is it true that filming lekker switches will offset the actuation distance offset of the pcb?
Yup, anything that puts space between the magnet and the HE sensor is going to change it; may or not be noticeable to you though
how heavily did you lube?
does anyone know where to buy an aftermarket case? Most of the ones from KBDfans got discontinued I really wanted to get the Tofu60 or the blade60 but idk where else to look for em
not hard set on those two either, i just miss the heft i had with a metal case
Would it be possible to connect the 60HE to a daughterboard and have the usbc port go to the middle? For example so I could use a Bakaneko 60?
if you have the soldering skills, sure.
If you scroll up, there's others you can shop for. Klippe, PSD60, Baka60, etc
but its at your own risk. you break it you buy it.
Sure!
this is my personal warning before you continue lol, I really hope you know what you are doing.
Haha, was just asking out of curiousity, donât know a thing about soldering nor have any equipment to do so xD
hello guys !! i want to ask if this keyboard case will be ok for the wooting 60he ? ty â¤ď¸ https://kbdfans.com/collections/case/products/kbdfans-tiger-lite-abs-plastic-case?_pos=3&_fid=3fba6657a&_ss=c
no, its TKL, not 60 percent
ok thank you do you know if there is a purple transparant case for the 60he ? i can't find one
Look for the BBOX60 case @robust falcon and you'll have to do some minor mods but it'll work
I just saw but I find it too thick for my taste
i bought thoose keycaps in purple and im looking for a keyboard case like in the screenshot but in purple transparant u see
https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=9065 is this one can work ?
no. the kbd67 is not a 60% keyboard. it's 65%
definitely
i did consciously refrain from trying to overlube however
as they are 50g springs rather than the stock 60
was afraid the return would be too sluggish
Although it doesn't feel as dense as the Baka60, I was able to make the PSD60 feel more solid and weighted after putting in the brass plate in the cavity and a layer of Sorbothane. It definitely sounds more thocky/clacky now, which seems difficult with the Lekker switches. Working on the case swap video, will post soon!
I see, PSD60 is a 6 degree vs a Baka60 being a 6.5 degree typing angle
But compared to a 4 degree case I wonder how much of a difference that would end up being đ¤
I see! Is 4 your absolute required preference?
No not exactly, my current case is 4 degrees, wondering how much of a difference that would be side by side with like a 6 degree since I'm considering a PSD60 case. Kinda scared the typing angle might feel too steep?
I think going from 4 to 9 might be pretty significant, but I feel that 6 is not as noticeable. The angle feels pretty good đ
what case are you using ive been debating on getting either the psd60 or the baka60
hi guys, are there any cheaper aluminum cases for the wooting 60he?
aluminum and cheap only really work if the quality sucks
youll need to spend 60-70bucks at least id guesstimate
What's the general opinion on pok3r cases?
I've seen used Pok3rs for under 50 bucks on ebay 
then what are some of the cases yall would recommend? other than tofu 60
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1185916625/gh60annegk61-1-walnut-woodkeyboard-case?ref=cart&variation0=2528040155
Theyâre using this one
do you guys think this would be compatible with 60he?http://bitly.ws/D5R5
send the real link and well see
i'm pretty sure this exact board is not only on the list of compatible boards but also in the reviews someone explains that the wooting fits just with small gaps on the sides
I already clicked it đ
it was real though it did send you to the aliexpress case
it does look like it'd fit
does the small gaps actually matter?
no it can just bother some people
i actually have either this case or a remarkably similar one if you want to see
I'm looking at getting a nicer case but this one does the job and was cheap i just don't like the low profile
sure! that sounds great
gap is worse on the right*
but it works and fits no problem
sometimes it takes me a second to get the usbc in because there's a bit too much space but it's better than not enough
like on my desk or like wobble inside the case?
like wobble inside the case
Are those hyperx pudding keycaps @craggy kite?
no as long as its properly secured it shouldnt have any issues - just make sure you put all the screws in without fully tightening them first and then fully tighten them (like you should always do with screws)
they are not hyperX - i got them super cheap on amazon i can find a link if youd like
oooh, okay. thank you so much~
Pls
i liked these more because they were cheaper than the hyperX pudding keycaps in white plus they also came with black accent keycaps which i wanted to match my "panda" setup (even though im not using them right now)
ive been thinking about getting a black and white set of these though
Nice thanks
FYI for aliexpress links you can delete everything after the ? (And including the ?) and it will still work
Damn... that's rough
Is the third party case list still being updated? I can confirm the ZT60 case works
- without modification
I'd need photos as well.
And links to the case. We've had a case or two that works...until someone screws it in too hard.
I just ordered a fjell 60
Iâm making my wooting full thicc*
Right now itâs only lubed at the stem + custom whale pbt keycaps
For those who have a case, does it really make that much of a big difference in terms of sound? Or is like lubing it well like 90% of where the nicer thock comes from
didnt really take any other pics before putting it together đ
Oooo what case is that
Anyone have stabilizers they would recommend for the 60HE?
Any mods for the wooting two?
aluminum case sounds very different from the stock case, not really in terms of a thock sense, just a different tinge to the sound
Durock V2s, but the stock ones are pretty solid. Do yours rattle?
Yea, I only lightly lubed them though. I was thinking if I'm going to take the board apart to redo them I might as well get nicer stabs
has anyone tried anodising the steel plate? thinking of getting mine done in black and was wondering if anyone else had done so
nvm, got mixed up since steel can't be anodised, meant power coating
Someone alr did
Case swapped from the Baka60 to PSD60!
what are those strips you put in the housing?
It's medical tape. It mutes the sound from when the stem hits the top housing after releasing the switch. I tried another method of applying a drop of silicone on where the contact point is, but it comes back sort of mushy, so I just stuck with the tape instead.
oh nice i didn't think of that i might have to try it out with some poron strips i have
Yeah try it and let me know how it goes! I'm open to try other ways if it works
can you demo a sound test?
ive seen people put tape on the bottom housing of their switches.
Do you know which part of the bottom? I'll try it out
Sure! I'll upload in a bit
specifically where the stem hits the bottom housing
where the 2 stem rails are
pro editing
indeed
Thanks!
And I assume that softens the bottoming out? I'll try it with the spare switches
Yeah it does, I tried it and it sounds better, but it feels a bit mushy.
Yeah, I'll have to be wary of that mushy feeling
@dense snow Might have to go back and fix some rattle in the left shift, but the keys sound clacky!
Ooh
https://www.etsy.com/shop/PhamCF This person makes and sells custom resin 60% cases. Their facebook post says it fits Tofu60 and GH60 PCBs, so I'm sure it would fit the 60he
@somber scroll I'm going to attempt the gasket maker mod you did in the next few days. In the original write up you did you mentioned that you put the switches together after 2 hours, is that something you think is worthwhile? I just don't want to put all my switches together and then end up taking them apart 22 hours after that to lube them.
No I donât think itâs necessary to keep them together. The important part is pressing the stem into the top like the original article suggests to flatten out the silicone while itâs still somewhat pliable. But once you do that you could definitely leave them apart
If you are only putting it on the top housing you could even lube them at 2 hours I would say. Although idk if the lube would interact with the not totally cured gasket maker
I'll definitely wait the 24 hours to be safe
oh I just realised that the guide for the speed coppers is only top housing + stem, no bottom housing
that'll save some time
thanks for the help!
Ooh you're doing the silicone method? I tried it, but I think my mistake was that I let it cure but didn't flatten it out so it was just a blob, which made it sound mushy
frankly I'm looking to silence my switches as much as possible
Yeah I did it. I can definitely see a blob making it mushy haha
mushiness might actually not be so bad assuming the switch feels the same
Amazing video and extremely helpful, where did you purchase that brass looking weight for the psd60?
@shell geode @placid blaze this is after silicone
Thanks! I got it from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BKPG464X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1, took me about an hour to cut it out with a hacksaw
And prior to silicone
Both of these are unlubed too
I went back and listened to that while I was reading over your writeup
have you lubed the switches since then?
Yeah I finally did on Friday lol. Had my keyboard in pieces for like a week đ
do you have any sound tests of that?
Oh wait my bad that damped one is lubed
man the first one sounds nuts
The damped one is lubed
The â non dampedâ one is unlubed but still damped
yeah, that sounds awesome
I forgot I didnât get a before test lol
Yeah, definitely a softer return, to me its like in the middle between a mechanical and membrane
Stabs are unlubed tho still. Stock FL CMMK v3 stabs
Also what was that foam you used in that little divot in the case? Genius
oh thanks for reminding me about stabs, I wanna try heatshrink modding the stabs I've got
Also found some heat shrink tubing, I don't know what the size is but it was the smallest I have
Iâll have to make a purchase and cut it on my own đ
great minds think alike đ
Just to confirm you got it in the 1/8" x 2"x 12â size?
It's Sorbothane foam! Also from Amazon. Because it's really sticky and will stick to the case, I layered medical tape over it because its porous instead of say painter's tape, so I wouldn't be counteracting the purpose of the foam
how good would you say sorbothane is for sound dampening?
I've been using car sound dampener in my other builds and I'm wondering how it compares
Yup, that's the one! The cavity size is something like 1.5" x 7.5", so that's plenty to cut down, you'll have to file the corners to round it after cutting it out
Iâm real sorry to bother but any chance youâd have that link? Iâll likely place an order today
No worries, I got you đ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019GBG97Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's pretty pricey ($30 for one sheet, enough to fit a 65)

I followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ywjXQ_XP6o&ab_channel=iChuckBricks, the sorbothane is the common choice, it sounds a bit more dense compared to my other board with neoprene in it, plus it's pretty weighty and made my 60he heavier. If I could afford the MLV, I would go for it đ
Comparing a bunch of different sound dampening materials because Iâm bored.
While I didnât include this in the video, I chose to go with MLV and Poron in the case and PE foam on top of the PCB for sound dampening. Itâs got a nice marbly thock sound going on :eyes:

Isnât MLV cheaper
Apologies, I have saved the sorbathane as well but realized thatâs the not the foam pad, would you happen to have a link to that foam as well?
sounds pretty good! what mods did you use?
Damn, I was only looking at Prime listings and they're bigger and pricey đ I'll bookmark this for the next build lol
Oh whoops, it's this one! https://www.target.com/p/con-tact-18-34-x4-39-zip-n-fit-premium-non-adhesive-ribbed-shelf-liner-taupe/-/A-52047647
Thanks! Tape modded the PCB, re-lubed and spring-swapped the switches with the Wooting 50cn, stabs are Durock V2 lubed and holee modded, and inserted a custom brass weight into the cavity, I posted a video a bit earlier in this channel đ
how many layers of tape did you use and what lube?
Perfect. Saved this as well. Will try to gather up these mods
@shell geode to also confirm cause since I didnât catch it earlier. This here is the sorbathane right? Is the thing above it something else? The white wrapper looking stuff?
Another thing I noticed, looks like you used a carbon fiber plate, did you custom make this or also purchase off Amazon or something?
They hand wove the plate
Yeah this is the sorbothane foam. I applied medical tape that you can find at Walmart/Target because I did not want it to stick to the case, and it's porous so it wouldn't block any sound
Haha, I wish!
It's the Wooting PCB, I just applied carbon fiber vinyl wrap and cut out the openings with a hobby knife
Oh so itâs the standard plate and everything? Ohhh that makes sense, vinyl wrapping for the look. Got it
@shell geode does the Poseidon60 ever feel like the typing angle is too steep? I believe itâs at 6° typing angle but Iâm currently using a 4° typing angle on my case
It is hardly steep, but you'll have to try out a 6 degree to know how you like it, for me 6 degrees is my most ideal angle.
Maybe the heat shrink tubing is too thick, but it is definitely quieter đ
You might have too long of heat shrink
Iirc the tutorial I saw online said 6mm long (like only half the rod covered)
Hard to test tho without going thru a ton of heat shrink lol
Did you lube at all with that?
Ok good to know. I donât have the luxury of testing out a 6° case but I can try getting an angle ruler to compare the height from my normal height
Let us know how it works. Iâm tempted to find some small heat shrinks if itâs worth it
Hello just got my wooting keyboard today and wanted to know is it possible to put cherry mx brown switches? Would hate to go out and buy them if i cant.
No, only lekker switch work with it
Did you even read what the keyboard does
Am I dumb? Or do not all switch films work for the wooting lekker switches- I hav e these and I cannot figure out how to put them on
What do they look like? You might need to snip the middle bracing bar out
All switch films deform with lekker switches. The rails are wider on the bottom housing which deforms them slightly
You can still fit them together but just put the film on the bottom housing first
Ah ok!! So it doesnât matter when I close the switch that the films not perfectly aligned?
It actually only worked when I put it on the top housing
But everything is seen was for bottom housing placement so I thought it might be incompatible
Ah
They should be lined up properly but just warped slightly
Like that. Kind of hard to see since itâs clear tho
You can kind of see the deformation on the right side of the film. Also see the snipped middle bar (itâs essentially just a rectangle)
has anyone tried gasket mounting the 60HE? are the lekker switches able to hold the PCB and plate together?
Specs:
Lekker switches lubed (205g0 stems/105 springs) and (diy) filmed
Poseidon 60 Gasket edition (KPrepublic)

i found this online but the uploader didnt specify on how he achieved this
no cause the switches aremt soldered. the only thing holding the pcb and plate together is a few screws
sigh alright
I was thinking maybe the switch can hold them in place like hotswap sockets đŚ
apparently it doesn't coz it's just 2 poles at the bottom of the switches
yes 0 soldered pins
#archived_wooting_60he message
Tirade is the person to ask about gasket mounting
thx man I ll go take a look
worst case scenario I ll just do the o ring mod I guess
Oh wait you said gasket mount. AFAIK you would need a new plate custom made. Some people here have made new plates but Iâm not sure who. You might be able to find references by searching tho
yeah but I figure it might just be going too far to get a plate custom made though
Yeah itâs quite the feat. I think @tall hollow might have made a custom plate or potentially should know someone who has
thx a lot for the info man
does anyone know if u could use this case?
judging by the standoff positions I think it does fit
but pay attention to those standoffs at the rim though
might want to check the PCB before buying
Yes thanks for the reply i guess what im trying to do is make it more quiet. Just switch the case but seems to pretty loud even after that. Sorry still new to making my own custom keyboards.
Can do silicone pour to dampen the sound
The switches are hall effect switches, pcb is not compatible with other mechanical switch
Ok thanks đđž
Wooting is not really a good custom keyboard to start with
Since most of the stuff you do is more on looks
Wouldn't maybe trust someone who calls a keyboard a "wooting" too much. At least use the model names, since they do have different mods available to them 
I'd like to argue that my plastic cased 60HE is pretty muted with plenty of filling inside for noise and of course lubing the switches extensively. 
Have you tried ttc frozen V2 with polycarb 

If anyone has the time and is able, would someone happen to know the front and back height in Centimeters (cm) for the Poseidon60? I see online it shows 2cm in the front and 3cm in the back but it looks so much higher than that
I only have re
How is the height difference compared to the stock case? Is GH60 worth it? 
I'm away from home but yes, the psd60 does feel taller than the original 60he case
No worries at all. I appreciate any and all feedback so this helpful already đ
Itâs not worth it, itâs higher but nicer profile but I switched back to stock because the case had issues with noise on one side of the keyboard
I kinda realised I shouldâve kept the switches stock too, even though they were louder they were nicer to press before lubing
So I ruined my Wooting đŠ
where did you get the case?
Wash the switches and remove the lube then? Maybe u overlubbed the spring
And thx for the reply đ
Not yet, but Iâm contemplating it.
Aliexpress.
All good my dude, I think I'm just going to sell the keyboard at this point though. The layout is too small for me to adapt to anyway lol
You can remap Keys and you can always have function layers
Wootility is an awesome piece of software
Is it possible to use a ducky one 2 mini case on the wooting 60HE?
Are there any open cases that'll fit the pcb good?
Yes. It's one of the recommended ones. There's a list of compatible cases out there. If I can find it I'll link it.
@ruby mantle tada

Thank youđ
I use this setup. Don't need F Keys (even when playing WoW), only need quick access to Arrow keys. I am completely happy with the 60he, especially after lubing, burger mount and tape mod 
I think I just might do the tape mod
I just put some painters tape on the back of the pcb right?
does anyone know of custom fullsize cases, preferably aluminum? ive been trying to find any to no avail, not even people to commission for one đĽ˛
No such thing for the 2HE. You'd have to get one designed and made yourself.
We have design files for the stock case over on GitHub.
Thanks NilseyNiles
Is there a certain brand or does it even matter?
Most important thing: make sure the tape does not contact so u dont shorten ur PCB. the easiest tape is painter tape. There are some videos on YT that show different types of tape but painter tape is the easiest to get and gets the job done
Ok. Blue painters tape type bear just to play it safe
Is it some "long lasting tape"?Probably bad when it has too much glue? Dunno
are the ducky pudding keycaps cute for the two he? does anyone have any examples of the keycaps in effect? im thinking of buying them to put on my keyboard when i buy it :D
would you happen to know if theres just plain images of the parts somewhere? i got the .stl files but are there just pngs of the actual physical parts somewhere?
Probably. Don't have any handy. Been travelling cross country all day, so I've been limited to my phone 
thank you :)
personally would recommend the STL files though as they are the ones we used for producing parts
yeah i sent them to a company for cnc appraisal but theres a notice saying they require extra images? idk what its about but if they get back to me about needing something else ill provide those
they did say itll take them a day or two for their engineers to look over the stl files before they come back to me with a price offer so ill see how it pans out
duck on phone, what will he do

Spent the weekend lubing and modding this thing!
Can confirm the dimensions of 2cm front and 3cm rear are correct, with the rubber feet installed its about 5mm higher đ
Oh oof didnât know I might have to remove center stand-off for fuel
Fjell
Hope I donât end up with bouncy kb if I do, not into that
lol really wish the wooting60 had a tsangan layout
Just a heads up, lube can be removed, although it is a bit time consuming. Iâve done it before but not with a lekkar switch. Should be a similar process Iâd assume
is that a mojo60
looks like it
the robin's egg color, no?
What keycaps are these
They look cool
You have my exact mouse/mousepad combo lol
Red g pro and black Saturn
This is correct!
Looks way better than I expected.
very heavy, too
Looks great đ I have the lavender
I like it heavy, the weapon mode is always a nice add.
I'm unsure if this is permitted or not, but does anyone know where I can find a picture of the 60he alu case that Wooting is working on? I recall seeing a screen grab somewhere, just wanna see it again
Iirc mansen also posted a photo of an actual prototype last week at some point
Thanks! Wow it is a beauty
Can't wait for the release!
Whats better poron or sorbothane as a dampening foam?
Anyone know the best way of dampening / quieting the sound of the switches? i'm coming from a cheap custom (bent alu case, so no "real case", with T1 shrimp silent tactiles), and the 60HE is much louder. the wife is NOT impressed. I've done O-rings back when they were cool in 2010 but i feel like that is probably gonna be mushy
Look for my posts on dampening with gasket maker.
https://scarff.id.au/blog/2020/silenced-kailh-speed-copper-switches/
Original blog I found on the technique. I also have posted various comments with tips and tricks
I really like Kaihua's Kailh Speed Copper mechanical keyboard switches because of their shallow, tactile and light activation feel. However, I don't like their noisy upstroke. Here's how I modded my switches to make them quiet. First I added silicone O-rings to the keycaps to silence the bottom-out. Although the squishy feel isn't great, I ⌠Con...
Most recent sound test with dampened and lubed switches. Stabs are unlubed here
I think sorbethane? Apparently MLV is even better tho
I think @shell geode did sorbethane on his board
Ayt thanks
thats perfect! do you have to remove any lube etc to get it to set properly?
I didnât. They just had the factory lube on. However, I will say when I pulled them all apart to lube, a few of the bits of silicone on the bottoms of the stems came off so I had to redo 3 of them. Not sure tho if that was due to lube or stem material or what but overall adhesion wasnât an issue
Also that link just talks about damping the upstroke but I also have pictures of what I did to dampen the downstroke
yeah i think i'll want to dampen both
It was a process. But I love the sound haha. Excited to start messing around with case acoustics once I lube my stabs
darn tahts a nice station there to do the modding
Yeah it was a godsend haha
yeah i'm going to probably get MLV or something too for the case
Especially for the stems. Super tiny work so having the stems be held in place was really really helpful
not sure if MLV actually dampents it tho
how long does it take to set?
i'm pretty handy with diamond grabber tool
so i could just grab and then smash blue then set aside
but need to let it set in correct orientation so it doesnt leak/goop
Per the article it recommends letting them sit for an hour, then pushing them into the top housing to get a bit of an imprint and then put them back together after another hour
Total cure time is 24 hours but they said you could type on them after 3 or so. Just donât pull off the keycaps again before it fully cured cuz it puts more pressure on the housing silicone
Definitely read that blog post tho
ahh ok, so i dont reassemble, just mush a stem via pulling it to get an imprint. should take like 10-seconds a tophousing at the one hour mark~
this is all very promising!
i might go mod my other switches in this way
very cool
do switch films help too? i have a spare set of cheap kelowna ones
i assume they also help to improve the sound
Is Glacier keycaps a good idea for wooting 60HE?
Yo! Ive tried both poron and sorbothane, and to me poron makes the keys sound more 'clackier' when in an alu case, and sorbothane mutes everything and to me feels thicker and heavier, but also is sticky so I lined mine with medical tape so the foam doesn't stick to the board
If you like the look, yes.
If you don't like the look, no?
Translucent keycaps is never the move in my opinion but to each their own âĽď¸
Just copped these to go w the setup cause I wasnât a fan of the POM jellyâs
You put medical tape on the sticky side of the foam? Or both sides
Both sides. I want to be able to take out or put in the foam without hassle
Ooo rocking the Companion 2 speakers?
Haha yup
the dark glaciers look AWESOME
To each their own indeed đ
Because of the issue Iâm having with my keys being wobbly. Would me ordering the krytox an lube off the website and modding the keyboard improve that? Or is it a case of having completely new switches so itâs like factory feel
It looks like a N64 controller
Yeah it definitely has that early 2000s atomic purple look that a lot of electronics (Especially Nintendo) did đ
This was mostly for fun and to show something more unique off at WootUp though. I'll be reverting it into it's Commodore 64 look when I have some time to pop off the keycaps.
is it possible to replace the spacebar springs without taking apart the complete two he?
seems like they are too weak for a cerakey spacebar
but I also don't want to remove every key again xD
In the spacebar's switch? I mean... maybe?
It would be a bit involved and I would personally just pull the switch as normal straight from the plate with a puller.
but it can only be pullled when its disassembled right?
(it's my first mechanical keyboard in a decade or more xD)
no
our switches are all contactless thus not soldered at all
you just need the right switch puller and they should be able to come out by just taking off the keycap. The main issue you will have is finding stronger springs for the larger spring diameter
they need to be non magnetic
ah
makes sense
currently I just added some rubber things that do the job but feel weird
@austere creek do you happen to know what dimensions the springs would need?
đĽâĽď¸
that case needs those
looks great
No Wooting yet đ
Like that
hi do u know how can we buy tofu60 or any case ?
Since the Tofu (tray mount) is discontinued they should get more expensive, you could opt for a Klippe T or any traditional tray mount case with a usb cutout on the left
Salvun Salvation, Fjell are expensive ones
Aliepxress also has some like the PSD60
Or wait for our case. 
Do a gummy o-ring mount
or design a universal case with has the option to unscrew the standoff so user can choose between gummy o-ring and tray mount
do you guys have a rough guesstimate on release?
Not yet. đ
Does electrical tape do the same job?
I would imagine maybe summer?
that's fairly soon, good to hear
will have to order a 3rd wooting 60he with that case and the new pcb for screw in stabs 
Screw-in stabs and tsangan bottom rowđ
which website can we buy it ?
the klippe t ofc
They are made by Mekanisk so from their shop or on the aftermarket (bought mine on mechmarket). Also here is a list of compatible cases: https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f
Submit or request a review of a case by adding a comment or posting on discord
thx
We showed off this prototype at WootUp last week.
Nice! If the 60 is made with this case I consider ordering it
Separate product, as well as the "60HE module", which is a 60HE without keycaps or case. Just the PCBA - and ability to use (some) screw in stabilizers instead.
So you could basically buy the module and alu case and have a complete 60HE (without keycaps)
Yeah, thatâs what I thought! Sounds great đđź keep us up to date please! đ
Develop one for the full size. FULL SIZERS ARE PEOPLE TOO!
does this mean that the 60HE module will be available without a case in the future?
yes
Yes, they are working on a standalone module with screw in stabilizers.
thanks! đ
Oh I'm looking forward to this
Oh no
A wooting PCB module with screw in stabilizer capabilities would be a buy from me.
Would need switches too, or does module come with switches
The module includes everything except case and keycaps from what I understand.
So bring your own case and keycaps.
I just want to know if the switches will have tighter tolerances in the future, or maybe we can get some actually compatible films. Cuz the stem wobble is the only thing I can't seem to fix on this board đŤ
67-70g bottom out springs when?
Me, a degenerate from the custom keyboard community
anyone has recommendations for a good budget case for the wooting in the SEA region? (tofu60 1.0 and blade60 seems to be discontinued everywhere)
Can't really recommend it since I do not own it, but I saw a lot of people using the Poseidon psd60
Also me. I have heavy hands.

Noice
@bronze grove any idea on beta/prepurchase/production run timeframe, or is it still at the pie-in-the-sky stage?
It's in the "we're finalizing the design" stage. I can't tell you exactly when they will start shipping. Pester Calder about it on the next livestream đ
@tall hollow you were the one that used poron switch pads in your build right? How long did you compress them?
are switch films a good idea for the lekker switches
Will you guys make a new PCB that are 65% etc concidering that lot more cases are coming out in that size.
Or make a alternative cases that doesn't have the strap thingy?
No plans announced for a 65% model.
Both our 60HE stock case and the Alu case feature the strap holder đ
I don't mind the case itself but not a huge fan of the strap. Even with it off it looks a bit funky in my opinion đ
And now that the tofu60 lines been discontinued for the 2.0 version it's hard to find available cases in that size unless imported for 2-3x times the price
the metal wooting case looks more clean even tho it has a strap
Unlike the stock case, the strap holder won't hang out of the case on the Alu case. It's built into the case itself.
Oh okay. Haven't seen the case just the announcement of a alu version coming out.
Eitherway could probably 3d print a little plug or something to fill the hole it not using the strap
I personally like the idea of an alu case even with the strap holder. I just hope we get a black color way of it. I don't wanna have to spray paint it black.
how difficult would it be to make a spring pack with 75cN springs 
See the pin.
There are quite a few really good case options available outside of the list wooting has made
I got a high quality aluminum case for around 55$
And here's a quick teaser of the module for those who didn't see the prototype we showed off at WootUp. đ
𼚠ah yesssss
I think they were more concerned about the import costs of those cases.
I don't doubt that but the biggest problem is most of the alu cases are sold outside of Europe and would cost more than its worth to import
That does look pretty slick ngl
I didnât compress them at all. The pads were already pretty thin.
Oh okay cool. I have some .5 mm ones but I wasn't sure if they would interfere with the magnets
Also the calibration routine of the keyboard when it turns on should be able to compensate just a little bit.
Although not by too much
@bronze grove any details on the exact tolerances of the limits of the zeroing routine of the keyboard?
The what and the who now
By how much difference in distance can the zeroing routine compensate for before it starts to act up?
Since someone wants to add switch pads to their keyboard, and the keyboard automatically zeros itself upon boot. So it can compensate for the slightly added distance between the switch and the sensor?
No clue.
But I want to know how much added distance is acceptable before it becomes unreliable.
That's definitely a question for @red cape or Jeroen. đ
@red cape do you happen to know anything about how this works? I want to know so I can know the tolerances of the switches.
Hmmmm, as mentioned, the keyboard will calibrate all the keys on startup, so whatever position they're in when it turns on is treated as the 0.0mm position effectively. The only situations I can think of that would cause problems in this context would be:
- if the keys don't return to the exact start position when released (i.e. if the pads become compressed and don't fully return to original position), which could cause it to look like the key is always pressed a little bit
- if the keys start at a significantly greater height from the sensor than stock. which could result in a bit of the start of the range being lost if it causes it to go outside of the range the sensors can pick up
Although it seems like it should be fine
Ah, so itâs more of a limitation of the sensor itself rather than the actual zeroing routine. Although I donât think a 0.5mm pad would be out of range at all, especially since the pads are compressed a little bit when they are inserted into the keyboard.
But yeah the pad itself squishing and deforming during use can cause issues.
But it hasnât been an issue for me yet
why is modding analog keyboards so much more complicated and technical than normal keyboards
It's the same... Just don't put any switch pads or films
ye I doubt 0.5mm would make a significant difference, at least on the 60HE IIRC the switches are mounted stock a lot closer to the PCB/sensors than on Two HE, so have more room to work with
I haven't played around with pads or films at all, but as long as it keeps a consistent change of the switch position and isn't moving it significantly far away, then I wouldn't expect any issues
where was this posted?
Posted? It was shown off at WootUp on Saturday. đ
Cool! Thanks!
@river reef I forgot you wanted to see those cables from WiredIn. One min, photo quality was garbage
I will give the pads a shot tonight then, my screws are coming in today so I have to take the board apart anyway
Nice!
that lil box makes my brain happy
You mean the artisans? That's 1 box of probably 3 and of all of those, on this Frog Mini I'm use a keycap made by a local friend who is just getting started trying to make them.
Yo some dude wanted a tofu60 earlier
I sent him your way
Thanks, but I'm all out of Tofu's and wont be getting any more. Other than a few 5 degree cases in Black or Gray and some super rare or limited edition stuff, I'm all tapped out. I did what I could 
Finally
Your Fn and Windows keys need to be swapped 
But nice keycap set. Where u got it?
Thanks

This would clear switch films for use as well, wouldn't it? They are 0.125 mm in most cases, so they should be quite fine
hey what do you guys suggest for modding?
Switches lube
what should i do for the case?
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.
Krytox GPL 205G0 and Molykote EM-50L lubricant:

:...
my keyboard is without the spring, sound for me better in my case đ
I'm not sure, but maybe it's worth a try! The texture on the electrical tape is solid though, so I don't know if sound is just going to bounce off instead of absorbing it, which is why I chose medical tape since its porous. It's trial and error, so it could work!
Well, I haven't tested them, but I would expect them to not cause any issues. But would need to try them to actually confirm it
whats is a good case to swap to?
Depends on price, look etc, but here's the list to look at. Some of us here have a few of them, so if you have particular cases in mind, ask! đ https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f
Submit or request a review of a case by adding a comment or posting on discord
Dang should I cancel my order then and just wait for the PCBA
Any leaks as to an approximate date?
Hey guys ! can you recomend some Azerty keycaps ? Can't find good ones
Corsair makes a set of PBT ones.
Damn thats tuff lmao
Ayt i understand but I still paid like 30$ for my sorbothane foam so I dont want to waste it so ill go with the medical tape
Thanks for the tip
Its great actually. Was able to help about 60-70 people in here find cases when things were scarce. Now that Wooting has announced a case, my work here is done đ
I want the tofu 60 but I dont think its available
@bronze grove is it worth to swap the case with an aluminium one i bought (that it is compatible) or should i wait for the new official aluminium wooting case ?
Uhh... Up to you? It's not like a case has any functional difference. Go with what you prefer. 
Right, you'll have to go third-party for them
If you have extra alu cases, why not build another 60 board? đ
Thats great, kinda sad you couldnt hook me up with one tho lol. But I managed and bought a Klippe T instead
This summer like the case
They work ok for me.
Apart from the fact that they deform the films they work fine, and they do what they are supposed to.
Indeed
Oh was talking about the pcb unless I read that completely wrong
The PCBA module thing will probably be released/announced around the same time as the case. Which is likely around summer
Hi, I would just like to know if there is a 60HE with knob? (mod, prebuild, prototype?)
Yea im saying the pcb is prolly gon be available this summer like the case
I mean, but the wooting case will mostly fit the wrist rest properly right ?
Nope
does anyone know the dimensions etc of the springs?
no one?
Ask the mods
@bronze grove
k
Sorry for the ping btw anders
not sure about Europe but here in Canada I've not been charged import fees for items specifically from aliexpress
you should look into that
i have
its 25% of the product to get it trough customs and then an additional 20-25% on all the products if there are multiple items in one package.
Does anybody have a build with blank key caps
I think my stab stem is the reason why my wire is hitting something
I have this dont mind the missing spacebar
!!THAT'S SO FUCKING COOL
do they have a marketplace anywhere?
clean what case
Nope, no marketplace BUT he is planning to do his first raffle in a week or two. Ill make a note to remind you if you're interested. It would be the first artisan from an up and coming new artist
you are truly goat thank u sir
its me again the fullsize case hunter
i found a company with custom cnc services and their offer was 800 dollars for an aluminum case. i am now looking for another company
i was originally hoping to get something under 100 but after looking at premade aluminum cases id be happy with 200 at this point đ
i shall report back if i find a fullsize case at a reasonable price, ive stumbled upon many wooting two he case asks so i know im not alone đŤĄ
@red cape Peek a boo
Ohhhh, what happened?
I come looking for people suggestion about a custom case aluminum for the 60HE and Wooting is creating one? Purfect 
no garuntee that it would be released though, but its definitely in the works.
a part of it is missing on the bottom
Klippe T
how did that happen?
I have no idea đ
i was taking it out to take a peek on what was making it ping and then i found it was broken
damn, hope you got spare stabs.
durock v2 plate mount stabs arent bad.
hmm
I kind of want to try these
uh
I forgot what they were called actuallu
Oh yeah
Fl cmmk v3 plate mount stabs
I was actually about to ask if anyone's had experience with aftermarket stabs in the board.
Like, if they fit as snug as the stock ones supposedly do.
As long as theyâre plate mount theyâll fit
I have some extra of these from a previous build, I might try them out đ¤
I have the FLs in this. The only thing I did was put a little pad on the pcb. Theyâre totally unlubed lol. Theyâre definitely a bit rattly but to my ears they arenât horrible to have no lube
They sound pretty good for being unlubed
Right, just wondering about tolerances, and if they'll wobble more or less than stock.
Putting a good chunk of work into this build to make if my own, and I think I want to use aftermarket stabs and do my own lube job as well.
Yeah. Going to lube them eventually but waiting a bit lol
The FL CMMK v3s arenât wobbly at all
Hopefully when i order them they wont break too đ˘
Fingers crossed for you, bro.
Setbacks always suck.
I ordered a custom cable and it's too short... xD (that's on me, tbf)
Okay I lied they wobble a tiny bit but I really gotta yank on them lol
Howd u get that keyboard so deep
Gasket maker on the switches lol
I'll keep those in mind.
I'm partial to Durock, but I'd love to try more brands.

Hereâs the original blog post I followed. Also search my past comments for some tips and tricks
I really like Kaihua's Kailh Speed Copper mechanical keyboard switches because of their shallow, tactile and light activation feel. However, I don't like their noisy upstroke. Here's how I modded my switches to make them quiet. First I added silicone O-rings to the keycaps to silence the bottom-out. Although the squishy feel isn't great, I ⌠Con...
I also put some on the bottom of the stems like this. So both down and upstroke are dampened
How do you apply them evenly
Patience lol
thats actually pretty smart
can i tape the switches?
For the top housing its recommended to apply using a 2mm flathead screwdriver
The blog goes into more details tho
Yeah you can tape
you can, it more or less has the same effect.
would masking tape work
I tried both, and they both have a very slight mush when you bottom out.
which is why I didnt do it
Yeah it definitely dampens the feel a bit
Also really depends on how much you put on. More silicone means more damp (and vice versa)
yeah
Fine by me I lived with a membrane keyboard
I see
at the bottom of the bottom housing near the 2 side rails, and at the sides of the top of the housing.
where the stem hits the top housing
Could i get an example so that I can look at it?
ill get my spare switch and open it up
Alr thanks!
Like this @quiet bay
what if I tried a bandaid
specifically 3M Durapore
that could work
alr im going to do it with a bandaid then
I used medical tape, but yeah like Ducky said, bandaid can work, you'll have to see which application you like best
Actually im going to do both and compare them
good idea
Don't forget to lube the area after applying too!
Right, the medical tape definitely will
so dab a little bit onto the tape
I also used the same tape to apply it to the pcb under the switches, which I really appreciate Wooting printing on the template for where they would go
yeah
only on the upstroke its dampened
oh well
I guess i wont tape them
they dont make too much difference since i only did top housing and its too dampened for me when i do both bttom and top
ah, thats ok.
also what keycaps are those?
wooting keyboard arrives in 3 days
lets goo
lmfao
đ¤Ł
yeah i got mine yesterday
its so nice
whatchu using it for
best feeling keyboard i have
i think the stems are slightly lubed
Geekark triangle keycaps
ah alr
yeah
they look really nice!
wanna see if it'll look like my gk61
custom board?
yeah
Thanks I was lucky they were stocked
holy shit that rgb hits different
i personally like it white
