I assume waiting time may be a month or so? However, I'd be very curious to hear what it would sound like. Do you think you could share some impressions once you got it?

The sound profile is really close to my baldr60

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

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.

faint jolt
#

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

craggy lotus
#

These are OEM if I remember correctly

#

Alright, thank you for the help :)

#

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.

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

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.

How does GH60 compare to tofu60? Feeling like switching from white tofu to black but since tofu is discontinued I need to find alternatives 😅

I guess psd60 would also do the job, hmm

1.5mm~ maybe? here's a link to some https://keygem.com/products/keygem-stab-shrinks-20pcs

If you get ones that have an inner bar you gotta cut that

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

I’m mass lubing and filming all my lekker switches but the films don’t arrive until Monday - getting .15 mm —- 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 don’t have enough room

Not really. Just gets lube everywhere when you have to peel them apart from each other again. dogekek

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

Hmm perhaps I should just hold off on my purchases til then. I’ll 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 doesn’t have that. But that’s good to know. Super helpful to paint a picture of how it’ll look. I assume they’ll keep all the same stand offs as well as the prototype shows

#

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

You’ll be trying to pick up any extras if they do have them which no guarantee they will

tawny summit
#

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).

glacial wind
#

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

iron bear
#

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

# glacial wind That restock is all sold already

I reached out to them directly but they said it should restock around may. I don’t think they would completely stop their production on the case but honestly after seeing KBDfans do it to the Tofu, who knows

glacial wind
#

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?

Hmm, in that case maybe I should drop the cash on the Poseidon60

glacial wind

like i said there's a chance they'll have leftover extras from the incoming batch, but there's also no guarantee of that

static tendon
#

Ah I see. Hmm, I’ll have to think about that

#

@glacial wind I guess I may ask again but what are your thoughts on the Poseidon60? Anything you don’t particularly like? I think you mentioned typing angle? In case I end up going for it

glacial wind
#

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

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.

@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 don’t think it’s 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 it’s 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

No worries, I got you 👌 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)

shell geode
# placid blaze how good would you say sorbothane is for sound dampening?

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 😅

Comparing a bunch of different sound dampening materials because I’m bored.

While I didn’t 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. It’s got a nice marbly thock sound going on :eyes:

Did you even read what the keyboard does

storm meteor
#

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

somber scroll
#

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

storm meteor
#

Ah ok!! So it doesn’t 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

somber scroll
#

Ah

#

They should be lined up properly but just warped slightly

#

Like that. Kind of hard to see since it’s clear tho

#

You can kind of see the deformation on the right side of the film. Also see the snipped middle bar (it’s essentially just a rectangle)

I didn’t. 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 wasn’t an issue

Also that link just talks about damping the upstroke but I also have pictures of what I did to dampen the downstroke

Especially for the stems. Super tiny work so having the stems be held in place was really really helpful

gloomy sierra

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

somber scroll
#

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 don’t pull off the keycaps again before it fully cured cuz it puts more pressure on the housing silicone

#

Definitely read that blog post tho

gloomy sierra

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!

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

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

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?

bronze grove
#

The what and the who now

tall hollow
#

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?

bronze grove
#

No clue.

tall hollow
#

But I want to know how much added distance is acceptable before it becomes unreliable.

bronze grove
#

That's definitely a question for @red cape or Jeroen. 🙂

tall hollow
#

Aight

#

I’m gonna ask Simon, since we have the same name

tall hollow
red cape
#

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

tall hollow
#

Ah, so it’s more of a limitation of the sensor itself rather than the actual zeroing routine. Although I don’t 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 hasn’t been an issue for me yet

#

why is modding analog keyboards so much more complicated and technical than normal keyboards

bright spruce
#

It's the same... Just don't put any switch pads or films

red cape
#

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

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 😭

#

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 🫡

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.

Here’s 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

somber scroll
#

Patience lol

quiet bay
#

can i tape the switches?

somber scroll
#

For the top housing its recommended to apply using a 2mm flathead screwdriver

#

The blog goes into more details tho
Yeah you can tape

tall hollow
somber scroll
#

@shell geode taped theirs

quiet bay
#

would masking tape work

tall hollow
#

which is why I didnt do it

somber scroll
#

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)

tall hollow
#

yeah

tall hollow
#

I see

quiet bay
#

also where should I tape the switch I wanna try it out rn

#

going to test

tall hollow
#

where the stem hits the top housing

quiet bay
tall hollow
#

ill get my spare switch and open it up

quiet bay
#

Alr thanks!

tall hollow
#

Like this @quiet bay

quiet bay
#

ohh

#

Can masking tape work?

tall hollow
#

I dont think it will have the same effect.

#

but you can try

#

here I used cloth tape

quiet bay
#

what if I tried a bandaid

tall hollow
#

specifically 3M Durapore

tall hollow
quiet bay
#

alr im going to do it with a bandaid then

shell geode
#

I used medical tape, but yeah like Ducky said, bandaid can work, you'll have to see which application you like best

quiet bay
#

Actually im going to do both and compare them

tall hollow
#

good idea

shell geode
#

Don't forget to lube the area after applying too!

tall hollow
#

oh for sure

#

like a little extra too, the tape will absorb it a little bit

shell geode
#

Right, the medical tape definitely will

tall hollow
#

so dab a little bit onto the tape

shell geode
#

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

quiet bay
#

1st not taped 2nd masking tape 3rd bandaid

tall hollow
#

I see

#

sounds nice though

#

still has that lekker clack though when you bottom out

quiet bay
#

yeah sadly

#

Although its less

tall hollow
#

only on the upstroke its dampened

quiet bay
#

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

tall hollow
#

ah, thats ok.
