lol

i hought vegas 20 pro

💀💀

[faint jolt]

white looks better

[faint jolt]

def learn how to use it

its a great skill imo

[somber scroll]

Do you have a pic of the bandaid switch? And what sort of bandaid you used? That return is super quiet lol

[quiet bay]

I took it off already but i can send u a pic of what i used after im done eating

I just did the top housing the same way ducky did in the picture

[somber scroll]

Ahh I see

[somber scroll]

And you just use the ends? Not the padded middle?

[quiet bay]

Yeah

[quiet bay]

anyone got any recommendations for films to reduce wobble?

would like to know before I buy something

been looking at tx films

also is it recommended that it should be shaped like this

[tall hollow]

More or less yeah with the center piece cut out

[quiet bay]

alr i'll go tx films then since I dont want to bother with cutting them

[tall hollow]

Lol

They’ll still deform, but it will work.

[uneven crypt]

YOOO where can i find these keycaps

[modern ice]

not a mod but.. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1037724997948538970/1098072857461919775/Snapchat-294880285.mp4

[static tendon]

Beautiful keyboard. I wanted one so bad and couldn't get one

A bit difficult to tell but would you happen to know if this is considered a "High Profile" case or a "Low Profile" case?

Also if the case does release is it likely that there will be some bundle deal? Or will separate purchases typically be the same price? Just trying to kinda prepare for it as much as I can

Wha'ts the case on the top right? Looks like a 65% from the length

[haughty delta]

Quick typing test, ignore the fact that this is recorded on my phone

• swapped stabs to lubed flc mmk v3s

• added poron switch pads

• swapped default screws for longer ones (m2 x 8) for a better burger mount

• tape mod

• sorbothane foam in case

[static tendon]

Is this a Tofu60?

[haughty delta]

Yes it is!

[shell geode]

Nice! Your keys has a high-pitched clack to it, while your spacebar sounds like a deeper thock. Don't know if just me, but I'm listening with headphones on and the audio is only coming out from the left, which is weird 🤷

[dire delta]

QK65 R1

[static tendon]

Ahhhh an amazing keyboard for sure, how long have you had it for?

[dire delta]

Idk since fall last year forgot when the Groupbuy was

[static tendon]

Nice, you haven't gotten the wooting 60he then I assume?

[dire delta]

It’s in delivery for today

[static tendon]

I'm curious how you'd like it in comparison to some of those custom boards, you'll have that stainless steel plate and tray mount, it'll probably feel real rigid in comparison

[dire delta]

We will see. Gonna check out how far I will come with mods if necessary.

[sour tide]

Will O rings be a bad idea?

[static tendon]

Yeah, they make it feel mushy

Their purpose is to quiet down the switch, but the feel isn't worth it

[stray tiger]

@sour tide are you referring to o-rings on your switches, on your mounting screws or around the PCB?

[static tendon]

@sour tide these?

[sour tide]

yes those

[static tendon]

Yeah I'd say avoid those, they downgrade the overall feel

[indigo mesa]

Pudding caps

[somber scroll]

Lmao I had my girlfriend (her only knowledge of mechanical keyboards is from what she’s watched as I took my wooting apart) explain these mods to me.

• she said you got rid of the stabs
• added pads to the bottom of your case
• put longer screws in the switches to make a better keycap burger sandwich
• put tape down so the keys would get sticky
• put spray foam in the case

[shell geode]

Lmao adorable

Mine asks me what I'm doing on every step and why am I doing it, and then goes "You have to do it on all of them???"

[somber scroll]

Lmao yeah after lubing the first 10 switches took awhile she was astounded how slow going it was

[obtuse karma]

Anyone order a Klippe T case recently? Just curious about wait time on those cases

[modern ice]

[edgy nexus]

@bronze grove sorry for the ping but what should I use to lube my stabilizers

Is krytox 205g0 good for stabs or only switches

[bronze grove]

I am definitely no expert on the subject. I used the Molykote that we sell - it's way thicker than the krytox, which I believe is important for the wires?

[edgy nexus]

Alright thanks!

[edgy nexus]

I did

3 weeks

[obtuse karma]

Gotcha, thank you! That isn't too bad of a wait. All the compatible cases in stock right now are a similar wait time it seems

[thick mural]

i just bought a fjell

[oblique ledge]

Mine took less than a week (Pacific NW). The only shipping option was $40 though.

[elfin peak]

[obtuse karma]

Pulled the trigger on the E-White Klippe T. Crossing my fingers it gets here as fast as yours did so I get around the same time as the Wooting

[tall hollow]

[proud moth]

[river reef]

Gonna enjoy the weight

[thick mural]

one of the main reasons i got it

i love heavy feeling keyboards

[river reef]

I do too

[thick mural]

it'll last me a good while too

[river reef]

But i recently found sound of acrylic boards are nice too

Really clean and crisp

Yea this is my 4th case

[thick mural]

can mod my new 60he when it comes in, keep my AVR model stock and then transplant the new pcb whenever that's out into the fjell

[river reef]

After tofu60, baldr60, psd60re

[thick mural]

i bought a 5 degree

and it's pretty awful size wise

too big for the 60he to fit centered

[river reef]

Ye tofu is not centered either

Everything else centered fine

[thick mural]

id use the new wooting alu case if it had a centre standoff

i like having a firm keyboard plus my ocd doesn't like having one open screw hole

[river reef]

I put a white tape over the center hole

Cant see it at all with rgb on

[thick mural]

i stripped the paint from my plate

i'm gonna get it anodised in black i think

or grey

well

not anodised but cerakoted

keep getting mixed up lol

[river reef]

Someone vinyl'd in this server

And it looks good too

[thick mural]

yeah but i want something more durable and that covers every bit of it

but yeah i do like the carbon vinyl

[slim slate]

So I'll be receiving my 60he soon and ordered the lighter springs and I'm gonna lube them.
I watched the Wooting video on lubing switches and they recommend disassembling the board rather than just removing the switches, is this still the general consensus? Is it that much quicker? Never have taken one apart, but I guess I could also apply a tape mod while I'm at it anyway?
Thanks!

[bronze grove]

Yes.

It is SO much easier to pull switches with only the switch plate in hand.

[river reef]

If you have nails you can actually pop out the switches from the back

Wont damage the plate paint that way

Better than scratching the plate with switch remover anyway

[reef patio]

Quick question : I'm in the work of trying to silence my Wooting One with red flaretech switches a bit more due to... complains. Instead of giving up on my loved Wooting keyboard, I've been thinking of trying to silence it. I've been reading the Wooting blog article on the diverse ways of silencing it, and i believe the biggest issue for my case are the default keycaps hitting on the keyboard case.

[bronze grove]

Impossible.

[reef patio]

I've added a ~0.5mn mousepad to help a bit with the stability and for the sound on the table, and planning on getting O rings for it. However, until then, Do getting some other keycaps in a specific materials help ? Do getting low profile ones could help too.

[river reef]

Keycaps wont hit the case dude

[reef patio]

Oh ! Sure. Tell me more. I can make a short sound test to showcase my current setup, but it's sounds "normal" and doesn't have any anomalies with it. Just want to fix it a bit.

[river reef]

Thats not how it works

[bronze grove]

The keycaps physically don't extend below the switches when pressed down. So they cannot "hit the case" 😄

[reef patio]

I believe i've badly explained it yeah

Warning : Dusty looking Wooting keyboard

The other bit is of course, the spring sound, which i guess i could do with the lube of the spring, but that's also a guess.

[river reef]

Bro the sounds is from switch

You can literally look from the side and see the keycap is not touching the top plate

[reef patio]

Alrighty. Thanks for the confirmation.

and before someone ask, yes, I'll give it a clean don't worry

[lilac rock]

what the keycaps called

[fresh shale]

I'd like to use this case, is anyone already using it?
https://mechkeys.com/products/sikakeyb-sk1-mountain-city-aluminum-transparent-61keys-keyboard-kit?variant=43504364060895

[bronze grove]

You're going to have to mangle it permanently.

[wheat nacelle]

🥳

[fresh shale]

Frankly, it was a bore to see everyone looking at the same compatibility chart and using the same cases, but I also know that's the way it has to be.

It's hard for me to find it myself...

[bronze grove]

Nothing stopping you from being a pioneer. Except risking a case you can't use after doing measures.

[tall hollow]

@lilac rock

[lilac rock]

thx ❤️

[haughty delta]

Keycap burger sandwich is going to live rent free in my head for a while

[somber scroll]

You could do the inside of the stabs with 205g0 (like the outside of the stem and the inside of the housing) but lube the wires with molykote like Mansen said

[edgy nexus]

Ayt thanks

Whats the difference in lubing the wire with that?

[haughty delta]

Molykote is thicker so I would assume less rattle

I used 205g0 for my stabs and it seems fine so far, but I'm not using the default ones

[edgy nexus]

Okk

Thanks

[knotty oxide]

Just ordered the wooting 60he should i also buy the lighter springs or are they not worth it ?

[bronze grove]

100% personal preference.

Stock 60He uses 60cn springs. DIY ones are 50cn and the ones in the UWU are 45cn

[knotty oxide]

Theoretically it makes the keyboard faster right ?

[bronze grove]

Ehhh...

[iron jacinth]

Well, not by a lot. It may actually allow for a bit more control if the spring is harder

[shadow phoenix]

what's the point of different kinds of lube for switches + stabs? it seems like stab lube is higher in viscosity at least. could you use the same lube for both in a build?

[iron jacinth]

It is a cost saving measure, from what I understand. Krytox205g0 is pretty expensive and the other grease is a lot cheaper. Since you may drown your stabs in quite a lot of lube, other, less expensive stuff may save you a buck

Krytox 205 is still absolutely valid and I suspect there are some purists out there, which will only use said lube

[knotty oxide]

So no ? And are the 45 cn srings ever gonna be on sale?

[bronze grove]

Imagine using Krytox on stabs.

Way too thin.

[bronze grove]

I think we're working on full switches for the 45cns

[knotty oxide]

So i would have to purchase new switches if i want to have them in my 60he

[bronze grove]

Cheaper than buying lube I imagine.

[shadow phoenix]

Ahhh okay I see. I thought it had some big functional purpose that you used one over the other

[lost mauve]

So happy with my keyboard 🙂

[stray tiger]

It's not a cost savings method, it's a "the right tool for the right job" method. The lube you should use on your stabilizer wires for example is much more viscous and would not be great for switch housings.

Different lubes for different purposes

[frail iron]

does anyone have a link to the wooting HE60 case compatibility website?

[somber scroll]

https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f
It’s also in the pinned messages for this channel if you ever need it again

[frail iron]

ty

[iron bear]

I've tried only Krytox205g0 on stabs and it was ok(Added some foam under the wires to stop rattling) but kinda liked it better with Molykote/Dielectric grease and just normal 205g0 in the housing

[shadow phoenix]

gotcha gotcha

[haughty delta]

What type of molykote would be recommended? I'm seeing a couple different kinds on Amazon

Stab swap was super easy so I want to try it on another set instead of the 205g0

[iron bear]

I used Wootings Molykote

[shell geode]

https://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Switch-Stabilizer-Switches-Lubricating/dp/B0949DF4DD/ref=sr_1_2_sspa
I got this delivered yesterday to apply to my stabs, and so far its working super great! Combined with the holee mod, it fixed a rattle I had for both shift keys. And Mansen is right, lube is too thin while a blob of grease will last a good while. And $9 for 15g sounds like a good deal to me 👍

[haughty delta]

Thanks for the recommendations

[tall hollow]

Mhm. Just like how different parts of a car needs different oils and greases.

[faint jolt]

what keycaps are those

[lost mauve]

gmk minimal r2

[tall hollow]

[small gust]

Anyone know of any wooting 60he compatible cases with adjustable feet?

[cedar summit]

Majority of custom cases don’t have adjustable feet

It would be easier to find a case with your desired typing angle imo

[river reef]

Just adjust the angle with some stick on rubber feet

Thats how most of the custom case works anyway

[stray tiger]

Or you can wait for official Wooting aluminum case and it's rumored to have feet that can change the typing angle

[bronze grove]

Not just rumored. Confirmed 🙂

[vital halo]

I know there is no real information or update yet but when, finger up, when can we approximately expect one?

[bronze grove]

See the pinned comments. Prototype was shown off last week at WootUp.

[vital halo]

Sorry for asking, just all the alternative presented in the compatible list that aren't out of stock or discontinued cost so much just in shippping/tax/custom. (For EU customers)

Will be awesome when Wooting offer an escape

[faint jolt]

tyy

[pulsar ridge]

Rough sound test on mine. Spacebar is still rattly, may need to go back and apply some more lube.

[lunar echo]

I'm thinking of o-rings mod.
only reduce keystrokes and not affect the magnetic detection, right?

[fierce kiln]

Does anyone have any experience with burger O-ring mounting the 60he in a fjell?

[somber scroll]

Yes. You’ll have less of a downstroke but the magnets won’t be affected

For all the rgb fans

[plain tusk]

thats fire, what keycaps?

[river reef]

Ordered from maxkeyboard

https://www.maxkeyboard.com/ansi-custom-white-translucent-top-backlight-keycap-set-side-print.html

This

its a lot cheaper on taobao

But harder to order for you guys

https://m.tb.cn/h.UtCWi8Z?tk=UAPOdO1UEN6 CZ0001

Also also spacebar is not the same

[plain tusk]

cant access this one

[plain tusk]

not sure about the bottom row layout too

[river reef]

What do you mean

It can be customised

Yea taobao link is kinda fucked

[plain tusk]

sucks but ill get it off max

[plain tusk]

you did the 6.0?

[river reef]

What

Isnt wooting 60 he 6.25

[uncut pelican]

yeah should be, 6.25 is the standard for mechanical keyboards and also ducky keycaps are that size

[bronze grove]

Yep. 6.25u

[final obsidian]

Btw. a question, just for me tho, but i got my wooting yesterday, i saw, that the switches are kinda pre lubed, but a bit clicky (for me idk personal thingy stuff) and i mean i lubed for the first time yesterday, and i frkn like my work, thocky as hell 😄 (also thx for the tutorials on yt 😄 ) But as im the most fkn lazy person, is there a a tool, for lubing switches llike super fast and if not wouldn't that also be a nice developing idea - if possible? Also, if u kinda pre lube switches, i know now how long it takes, but can u guys maybe also do a option, to buy thocky prelubed switches like top and bottom lubed, springs bag lubed and stuff? Would happily pay more for that work and time i can save <@&375234916776017933>

[bronze grove]

There is not - If there was all enthusiasts everywhere would be on that like flies on honey 😄

[austere creek]

lubing is sadly a time intensive task and theres no real shortcuts if you wanna do it right.

[bronze grove]

It's all very manual and time consuming.

[austere creek]

there is spray lube that you can theoretically spray in when pushing down the stem but its... less than ideal

[final obsidian]

yeah okay sad, but also like i said, i would pay a worker for ikd how long did i need for two he, like 4 to 5 hours full of work, if i could buy them in a thocky version 😄

[bronze grove]

Yeah it will probably take 2-3 hours for someone who does it regularly. I used 4-5 hours in total for my 60HE while watching Netflix.

[final obsidian]

yeah it was my first time lubing, so greatful for ur tutorial on yt tho 😄 but i very much like my thocky space bar 😄 i was like yesterday playing with a bud from work on ps5 and i had to fkn press the spacebar like evry 30 mins 😄

i can totally now understand the hype of modding keyboards, even if it comes to the base of just lubing switches 😄

[shell geode]

It might be therapeutic for you! I was chatting with my buds on Discord while lubing the switches and it flew by quick

[final obsidian]

well tbh i just sat here yesterday, watching the tutorial first, and got into a spaced out mode where i just did it in silence, cause i was so hyped it arrived and i wanted more thock 😄 Maybe next time i just sit in dc talking to ppl and yeah 😄

[shell geode]

I like the silence sometimes too, especially when I'm focused on something, like the turning down the radio when parallel parking

[final obsidian]

Me too, but tbh i found out, if i do this for more than 2 hours, i get super sleepy, and its no good for me 😄 I like silence spaced out mode if i need to redo my vape, but that takes like 5 to 10 mins 😄 so that is good for me, but idk if its something health related but never do for mor than 2 hours again on my side

[shell geode]

Definitely stand up and take a walk after two hours 😆

[iron jacinth]

So for anyone curious, I've been experimenting with some switch films. I got some TX (0.125 mm) ones and got them to work pretty well. It is sort of a dumb fit, but frankly, you can get them in there. I noticed that the "south" gap on the Lekker bottom housing is offset to the right compared to the switch films intended shape. However, the housing wobble, which was very extreme on some of my keys, gets rectified completely. So far I also haven't run into any issues per se - the only trouble I have originates from me using ANSI for a few months now and the fact that my hand position was always reliant on the top row - so I miss my keys currently and hit # instead of enter 😄

I haven't lubed the switches yet - I wanted to prevent the mess when doing the film experiments. But overall, the outlook is good

[river reef]

Does it not affect actuation distance

[bright spruce]

In the last few messages I counted 14 😄 emojis

Bruh

[grizzled path]

😄

[iron jacinth]

Well, based from a discussion that's been going on earlier, around 0.5 mm of tolerance is somewhat acceptable. The Wooting sets its neutral point when starting up, therefore the height the key is at is going to be considered as 0. From there you get 4 mm of travel to 100% (makes quite a lot of sense, honestly. Otherwise the tolerances to achieve this would be incredibly difficult to achieve). So adding 0.125 mm really is no civilization ending event at all

[cerulean raptor]

question towards the Tofu60 owners , is there a way to center the keyboard a bit more? I feel like my usb port is at maximum point towards the edge, on Calders tutorial it seem'd more centric in the Tofu60 , i tried it with and without the retail foam

its a small detail thats a bit off , went pretty smooth for first modding attempt, but its a detail i would like to fix

[river reef]

Ah ok

Yea nobody set actuation at 4mm anyways

[dire delta]

Anyone attempted Gummy O-Ring mounting the wooting?

[river reef]

I might get some

[grizzled path]

this is a known tofu60 thing unfortunately. I had the same in my walnut tofu, so I just simply widened the hole with a file to get the pcb sit more centre

[river reef]

My space bar is wobbling like crazy

[river reef]

I did

[iron jacinth]

Are your stabilizers properly connected to the cap?

[river reef]

But had difficulty taking jt out of fjell kekw

[river reef]

Yea

[dire delta]

have a klippe t and thought about gummy o-ring mounting my 60he

[river reef]

Stem wobble is annoying

[dire delta]

But idk why gummy o-ring i should get for the 60he

being located in europe

[iron jacinth]

Would that work in the Fjell?

[river reef]

Why not

Put some foam on the stand off

And pop on the o ring and push it in

Careful taking it out tho, it warps the plate easily

[dire delta]

Where do I get the oring tho?

[river reef]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mObexbS

I got these

190x184x3mm

Its on firmer side tho

[dire delta]

ty

[river reef]

60A according to seller

[iron jacinth]

Ah, nvm. I know said method as "Burger Mount" and confuse it with the mounting method where you slot a huge O-Ring around the PCB and plate assembly

[river reef]

Gummy o ring is the big o ring around pcb

Burger is using standoff

[iron jacinth]

Checks out

Yea, got these confused again

[river reef]

Reason to put some foam on the standoffs when gummy o ring mount is so the pcb dont touch standoff directly

Otherwise it might as well be tray mount

[iron jacinth]

Some silicone could do as well, I suppose

[river reef]

Yea but like some foam or silicone rubber with double sided tape is just faster

It just need to let it bounce

[bright spruce]

You can center it, you gotta file the usb c hole down a bit

[river reef]

Sell it and get a different case

What I did anyway

Filing it is just not worth it

[bright spruce]

How

It's not hard

[river reef]

Ruin the coating

[bright spruce]

Unless you don't have any hands

[river reef]

Wow dude

[bright spruce]

Oh wow ur definitely gonna see the port that is facing away from you

[river reef]

People cared about the logo facing away from user

Idk why you wouldnt care

[bright spruce]

Idk why you would care

[river reef]

When it chips the e coating

[bright spruce]

Oh damn how can someone live with that

You're right

Jist buy another case tbh

[river reef]

Why are u so aggressive lmfao

I did

I bought a fjell

And sold the tofu

I caved and ordered the durock v2 stabs everyone talks about, now to acquire some molykote

[dire delta]

durck / everglide v2 stabs for wooting? Aren't those manufactured by JWK and are screw-ins?

[uncut pelican]

they are indeed screwins

[dire delta]

Honestly as someone who used Zeal, Durocks and Stabies as screw ins, the ones provied in the already built wooting 60he ain't bad

Can't beat staebis tho

Besides fjell, what other enthusiast cases are available? Original Tofu and blade aren’t being produced as far as I can tell

[vapid yew]

Can anyone recommend navy blue cases that will work with the 60he?

Also, do the switches work in north facing with gmk keycaps, or is there interference

shouldn't have interference, only if you experience problems you need to think about switching to south

[formal tapir]

Thanks

[haughty delta]

Yea I mis-spoke, they're just durock stabs, not V2s

[somber scroll]

Is that plywood? Or did you hand laminate it?

[formal tapir]

Do I have to use plate mount stabilizers, or do pcb screw in/clip in work

[bronze grove]

They do not work.

Hello, anyone tried the 60HE on this case here:
https://honghobbies.store/products/hh60

[somber scroll]

That looks like a gasket mounted case so it won’t work

Or rather it looks like you screw it into the sides of the case? But it’s not gasket? Odd. Regardless, it would need a custom plate to work with the 60HE

I threw you a softball and you knocked it out of the park

[bronze grove]

[lean crypt]

One question, Is the Wooting two HE PCB hot swappable?

[bronze grove]

In what what do you mean... hot swappable?

The switches are.

[lean crypt]

Hot swap

My autocorrect, idk when I put swappable?

[bronze grove]

What part of the keyboard are you asking if you can hotswap

[lean crypt]

PCB, changing the switches without soldering

[bronze grove]

Yes. Like I said. The switches are hotswappable.

[lean crypt]

Okay thanks, sorry for the confusion

[bronze grove]

Not at all. We got there in the end. 😁

[quiet bay]

it'll really only work with lekker switches though

[buoyant torrent]

does anyone know a good replacement case that is in stock?

for the 60he

[stray tiger]

@buoyant torrent That's a tough one to answer because "good" is subjective and material also matters. The wooting aluminum case is coming in the near future but if you need something today, let us know your budget and case material preference and the community will do our best to point you in the right direction.

[shell geode]

Baka60, PSD60

[stoic marten]

Thanks Wooting 🥰

[bronze grove]

If only they knew how many keys this has

[austere creek]

3

really big ones

[buoyant torrent]

My preference was the tofu60 case

but i believe it is out of stock

[bronze grove]

Out of production and out of stock, yes. 2nd hand only.

[buoyant torrent]

is it a legit website?

[shadow phoenix]

Ships from Sweden

[buoyant torrent]

ok cool thanks

[cedar summit]

I’m looking into klippe t

[shell geode]

If I'm not mistaken, the closest resemblance to the Tofu60 would be the Klippe T, PSD60, and Freebird60? I know the PSD60 and Freebird60 has a bit of a beveled edge, but the profile is the same

[quiet bay]

96

keys

[shadow phoenix]

The klippe is so nice

[quiet bay]

Added pe foam to pcb

[quiet bay]

It indeed is very nice

[shadow phoenix]

Surely I’ll get a bite on mechmarket

[placid wagon]

benefits to putting film on Lekker switches?

[opal hawk]

very nice

[stray tiger]

There may or not may be any benefits. Because there are no films that fit the lekker switches without modification, the few who have done it have claimed mixed results. What is the issue you are hoping to address with the films?

[placid wagon]

Nothing

Was wondering if I could do something else outside lubing the switches

[stray tiger]

Oh if you just want to try stuff for the sake of tinkering, then go for it!

[tall hollow]

Nice! I used switch pads

[boreal ingot]

do you guys have any good recommended keycaps have the wooting 60he

[lunar iris]

thanks! ive never done anything like this before so it was a bit of an experience lol

[unreal bear]

Nice. I use the same keycaps

[quiet bay]

Im going to replace the pe foam with poron switch pads when i get them

I heard poron switch pads make it sound deeper

[unreal bear]

Got the link to where this is from?

Oh wow the psd60 is out of stock. But the psd60 re is still in stock. Just judging from how it looks, it seems like it fits but I'm not 100% sure.

If you go to the KPRepublic site itself, it seems like the regular PSD60 is still in stock.

[tall hollow]

Yes can confirm, it does sound deeper and a little more muted as well.

[haughty delta]

Poron switch pads are great, haven't had any issues with mine so far

[cedar summit]

Look at fjell

It’s even nicer

[quiet bay]

im not willing to spend 300+ dollars on a case right now 😅

[cedar summit]

Wait

Wtf

It replied to wrong message

[quiet bay]

lol its fine

[cedar summit]

That wasn’t for you

[quiet bay]

uhh

I think the pe foam is messing with the lekker switches

its having connections issues

Movement is dying

[tall hollow]

Probably because the foam is getting squished as you press the key

Which makes the RT act up.

Especially when you make it very sensitive.

[quiet bay]

damn

i guess the foam is too thick

[tall hollow]

It’s not an issue for me, since switch pads are pretty thin.

[tall hollow]

Yeah probably.

[quiet bay]

i'll try making it less sensitive

like .35 sens upstroke

[stray tiger]

unlikely lol

[quiet bay]

works now my movement is fine

[shadow phoenix]

Yeah it’s giga rough out here

Looking at the baka60

[stray tiger]

As promised, here is a link to his first ever artisan raffle. I think the guy is going to be big at some point, he has only been making artisans for a month and seems to be improving daily. https://forms.gle/gfbstAndDp7vSj5a8

[quiet bay]

ok nvm

Im going to have to remove the pe foam 😦

[stray tiger]

@shadow phoenix if you dont mind waiting, the official Wooting aluminum case is on the horizon. If you need something today and it doesnt have to be a Tofu or Klippe, there are a few options out there

[tall hollow]

Yeah, that’s what I suspected

[tall hollow]

FB60 is really nice, so is the PSD60

[tall hollow]

Rip

[stray tiger]

I'm not a fan of the FB60 personally and Ive never owned a PSD60 so I cant comment on that one

[swift salmon]

Why would u want another case ?

[stray tiger]

Aesthetics or changes to sound profile, or both

[swift salmon]

My wooting arrived just now

[tall hollow]

Aesthetics and looks

[swift salmon]

But u won’t have that strap right ?

[shadow phoenix]

I could definitely wait but I also wanna try my hand at some slight modding bc it looks fun and I’ve been going deeper into the rabbit hole everyday

[swift salmon]

Then it’s not really a wooting is it

[stray tiger]

You will on the upcoming official wooting aluminum case!

[tall hollow]

Could make a custom one

I am thinking about designing my own case and putting my cnc mill to work.

[stray tiger]

Chas shoot me a DM

[shadow phoenix]

Just trying to find a place with a 60% case in stock not shipping from china so rn I just have the baka60 bookmarked

Word

[stray tiger]

@tall hollow heck yeah man!

[tall hollow]

Might even make it out of brass too, so it would weight like 3 kilograms.

[shadow phoenix]

DM’ed you

[tall hollow]

And have a really nice shine

[haughty delta]

I should've bought a smaller container of screws, I have so many leftover 😂

Definitely glad I got the longer ones though, had room to put a fat o-ring on both sides of the PCB

[edgy nexus]

did you buy your mousepad from them as well?

[untold wigeon]

did you try sprint gg?

[abstract hound]

Hi guys, is it possible to change out the stabs?

[bronze grove]

Yes - Won't improve things though.

[abstract hound]

Noted thank u

Saving me like $20

[tall hollow]

Adding extra lube would though.

[ionic bay]

iirc

someone was trying to solder a daughterboard to the 60 HE

did they actually manage to do it?

[edgy nexus]

all sold out

[shell geode]

The Wooting stabs are pretty good, but I swapped mine to Durocks because I couldn't get ride of the rattle on mine

[abstract hound]

I’ll test out the wooting stabs and go from there then thank you!

[bronze grove]

That's impressive considering those are screw in

We use plate mount.

[abstract hound]

That’s what I thought ^^

[bronze grove]

I swapped mine for white plate mount durocks for the look. Zero difference.

[abstract hound]

Also since these are pre-lubed should I clean them out and add the ones I purchased?

[shell geode]

The bak60 has great value for $50 and doesn't sound hollow despite having thin bevels, getting a black one to go with the stock keycaps looks great too

[shell geode]

Whoops! I didn't intend to add the V2 😅

[tall hollow]

Wooting stabs are Gateron plate mount stabs, so they’re pretty good, although ive modded mine to fit my sound profile.

[iron jacinth]

What issues were reported?

[stray tiger]

I was asking him what issues he was having

[edgy nexus]

anyone know where I can get my hands onto some pcb foam

[untold wigeon]

What tape do you guys use when it comes to modding?

[iron jacinth]

Ah, sorry. I was referring to the mixed results. I am curious what those were

[haughty delta]

Generic blue painter's tape

[real fiber]

holy shit thanku sir!! i will be aggressively perusing and purchasing tyty

[stray tiger]

@iron jacinth I've seen a few people mention things like the films may warp, films may rub the stems, films didnt fix stem wobble (this is expected) or didn't give them the sound profile they were after. I've also seen 1 or 2 people say the opposite. Hence, mixed reviews.

[untold wigeon]

Oh so there isn’t really a specific thing to buy when it comes to tape I can just buy it at like local Lowe’s and shit @haughty delta

[tall hollow]

They work fine, apart form they fact that they deform yes.

[haughty delta]

Yea any local hardware store should have some.

[tall hollow]

But they do get the job done

[stray tiger]

What's the job?

[haughty delta]

Kbdfans also has a service where you can order single pieces of tape printed with a custom image for various sizes of boards

One came with my D60 build and it was pretty handy

Idk if I would spend the money to get a custom image though as it will just be inside your board 😅

[stray tiger]

@iron jacinth People typically use films to reduce excessive housing wobble or alter the sound. If you're trying to fix either of those things then films might be an option.

[limpid crown]

When im screwing the keyboard to the new case should i use the screws from the new case or the ones that i removed from the wooting case ?

[tall hollow]

Reduce the horrific housing wobble.

Probably limited to my batch

Everyone else seems to not have any issues (until they open up their switches)

[haughty delta]

Personally I ordered some m2 x 7mm ones so I could fit the o-rings I got for a better burger mount

But it really depends on your case

The default ones should be fine in most cases

[limpid crown]

The head from the ones that came in the case is smaller than default ones

So guess i will stick with the default ones then

[untold wigeon]

anyone know any cases i can use for my mod thats in stock cuz i cant find any

[limpid crown]

Like way too small lol

Default ones then ?

[tall hollow]

I think either or would work.

[limpid crown]

Plus can i use the foam of the wooting case into my new case, even if there is a bump of a screw on the middle ?

Because wooting case doesnt use a middle screw

[haughty delta]

Yes, their case foam is pretty good

[tall hollow]

You’d have to cut a hole into the foam to fit the center stand-off through.

[haughty delta]

^

[tall hollow]

Indeed, it’s very nice

Plate foam is really good as well.

[haughty delta]

Yea the plate foam is great

I swapped the case foam for sorbothane though

I also have some extra poron laying around somewhere I've been meaning to cut a section out of to try

[limpid crown]

But i mean even if i cut a hole in the middle it is not cenetered on the sides

[haughty delta]

Is this a Tofu?

If so, it won't be centered. It will sit to the left of the case

[limpid crown]

No. A generic alumnium CNC case

Its on the compatibility list

[haughty delta]

Ah okay, I'm not sure then

[limpid crown]

What would happen if i dont use the foam ?

[haughty delta]

It won't sound as good

[limpid crown]

But i will not damage the pcb

Right ?

If it is sitting next to the aluminium

[haughty delta]

As long as there's no actual contact

It should be fine

But I would leave the foam in

Even if its not centered it will still sound better

[limpid crown]

Cab i put it without cutting the hole ?

lol

[haughty delta]

You can just poke a hole with a pair of scissors or something, its not super hard

[limpid crown]

But if i want to put it again on the case

it will be destroyed

Ah allright

[haughty delta]

Yea, no need to cut it up a bunch

Just figure out where the hole needs to be and poke something sharp through

[somber scroll]

Did you dry fit that just to make sure all the holes line up? It seems odd that the two screws on the right are so far on the left of the foam hole

[haughty delta]

That's pretty much all I did with mine

I kinda just assumed it was like a Tofu where it sits it the case offset

[limpid crown]

I didnt try it yet

Gonna try it first without the foam then

[somber scroll]

Yeah that’s my guess as well it just looks like it would be too far off haha. Guess we shall see

[limpid crown]

What do you mean by it sits in the case offset?

[haughty delta]

Like not centered, skewed to one side

WIth the Tofu60 the PCB module sits to the left of the case so there's a small gap between the module and the right side of the case

[shell geode]

baka60

[smoky lintel]

howd you add the pe foam

[quiet bay]

between the pcb and plate why

[limpid crown]

ñ++

Understood the PCB sits to the left of the case.

Tested it.

So should i allign the wooting foam to the left and up?

[stray tiger]

The zoomed in photos may not do a great job at showing the scale of the gap. It's less than a millimeter. Your foam placement wont matter and depending on which revision of the Tofu you have you may not need to shift it left at all. The USB cutout on the back of some revisions of the Tofu were a tab smaller than others, so people are shifting the board to the left a fraction to get the USB port to line up and not be slightly blocked.

[limpid crown]

Thats the right screw

Its like the right hole is kinda apart

Did the hole

can it be that the foam doesnt fit in the case ?

I mean even if i put the foam

the PCB appears to be quiet high with the foam underneath

[untold wigeon]

ordered 😏

[limpid crown]

Its like whenever i allign the usb port the pcb misalligns itself

Any ideas ?

[shadow phoenix]

What color you go with?

[quiet bay]

Just ordered some kbdfans switch pads and tx films 👍

[shell geode]

Nice! It's underrated. What color did you get?

[limpid crown]

This only happens when i put the wooting foam inside it

Im gonna remove the double layer foam and leave only one foam

However it will be sticky on where the pcb sits.

Will that break the PCB?

[smoky lintel]

I meant like did you poke any holes in the pe foam or you just put the raw unmodified foam inside between the plate and pcb?

[stray tiger]

What case are you using?

[smoky lintel]

and what type too^^

[quiet bay]

yes

I did poke holes

although if the pe foam is too thick

[limpid crown]

The one of ali express CNC 60% Aluminium

[quiet bay]

it'll mess up the lekker switches

making u unable to use lower sens

so I removed it

[smoky lintel]

word

you poked holes for the magnets right

[quiet bay]

nah 😂

[stray tiger]

The low profile one? Can you provide a link to it?

[smoky lintel]

was the pe interfering a bit

[limpid crown]

sure

[quiet bay]

I only poked holes so that they could get through the pe foam

[smoky lintel]

o😭

[quiet bay]

played valorant with it

and my movement kept getting messed up

held w down and it would move stop move stop

[young blaze]

Any of you guys know what to do if my shift stabilizer on the left side of the board clicks when I push shift? Should I just relube?

[stray tiger]

Make sure your keycap is all the way pushed down

[limpid crown]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HD14Q1M?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

That one @stray tiger

[young blaze]

I’ll look right now

It looks like it is seated fully

[stray tiger]

Yeah thats a low profile case, it is flat and doesnt have an angle like the default tofu board so you would need to make sure your foam is flat.

[limpid crown]

Without the foam it fits.
So removing one layer of foam will do?

Since the wooting one have two layers

[stray tiger]

You can always pull the keycap off, check the stabilizer wire for anything that might be interfering and then put the cap back on.

[young blaze]

I will inspect. Thank you

[smoky lintel]

i see, I have my pe foam precut from Thockpop and everything seems to work fine, I was just curious the sound difference between normal packaging and precut switch pads. urs sounds alot cleaner thaen mine though it may be becuz Im still using plastic case

[limpid crown]

However it will be sticky on the foam.
Will that stickiness break the Pcb?

[stray tiger]

Yes, it has 2 layers because the case is angled and deeper at the back of the case compared to the front. Your case is shallow all the way across.

[stray tiger]

No, but it could be a little messy. Put some painters tape across the bottom of your PCB (tape mod) and that will help keep things clean.

[quiet bay]

I could probably try cutting holes for the magnets but that's like

so much work im lazy

also my pe foam was 1.5mm im pretty sure

idk how thick your precut foam is

[limpid crown]

Ok... So if i remove the two layer foam it will theoretically work right ?

[stray tiger]

As long as the single layer of foam doesnt protrude above your standoffs then yes it should be fine

[shadow phoenix]

I wish the other cases were a bit darker but I went with black after some indecision

Boring I know

[limpid crown]

it worked

Do people use these feet?

[stray tiger]

Depends on what typing angle you prefer

[limpid crown]

Because once attach i cannot deattach them right ?

I mean i have to unscrew the pcb from the keyboard

[stray tiger]

Yes you'll need to remove the PCB ic the foot screws are under the PCB

[silent birch]

Got the new keycaps and ultraforest Klippe T😍 did a extra layer of foam and tape mod and flipped switches to south facing

[limpid crown]

The flatter the better in terms of ergonomics right ?

[stray tiger]

When people talk about having to slide the PCB over to the left a little, it's because some cases have an exact USB cutout for the DZ60/GH60 USB port location. The wootings port location is a hair more to the right and you need to bump the PCB a hair to the left for the port to lineup on some cases. Here is a photo of the DZ60 PCB laid back to back with a Wooting 60HE PCB and you can see how small the the offset is between the 2 USB ports.

[stray tiger]

Love that case color!

[limpid crown]

If i use different keycaps pudding and normal will that affect the actuation point ?

[silent birch]

Thank you very much looks wayy cleaner then I originally expected!

[untold brook]

are the lecker switches factory lubed?

[wooden parrot]

I just got a 60 case and a pair of keycaps, i have a lube set. Is there anything else i should get to improve my experience with the modding of the 60he. My main focus is for gaming but i do a lot of programming now so typing related mods would be a great help too! 😁

[tall hollow]

Yeah, the wooting pcb probably also has those extra wide holes to also compensate for manufacturing tolerances.

[stray tiger]

Nope you're good to go. Start there and see what you think!

[tall hollow]

Well actually, that is probably the real reason why.

[wooden parrot]

As i understand the keyboard already comes with foam so there isnt really more mods that i can do i suppose or am i wrong ?

[tall hollow]

Any mods you do to a keyboard is supposed to achieve something

If you want to achieve something that the wooting can’t using a mod. Then sure, give it a try.

[stray tiger]

You can always try different types of foam or dampening materials like silicone. It's just to fine tune the sound to your liking. You might love the stock foam sound, a lot of people do. Lubing the switches, changing the case and different keycaps are the biggest sound changers.

[tall hollow]

This

Switch lubing is the hardest though, not because it’s hard fundamentally, but because it’s very very tedious.

[silent birch]

You can tape mod, and I added a extra layer of foam with the stock foam I ripped the lil piece of the stock foam off to make it just a bit thinner so my usb port was aligned after screwing it back in! You can also burger mount your pcb with o-rings but I didnt do that, came pre lubed I plan to lube mine up after a couple months of use not sure if lubing really does anything worth as long as it takes

[tall hollow]

I think wooting did sound tests on the different dampening materials in the 60HE. Although variances in your audio devices and their recording equipment makes it so that it may not sound exactly how it is in real life.

[shell geode]

Lubing definitely produces a noticeable change

[silent birch]

Sweet! Plan on doing this soon I know it will take a longgg while lol

[shadow phoenix]

the rabbit hole has begun

[shell geode]

LETS GO

[shell geode]

It will! If you have a show you plan to watch, now's the time!

[limpid crown]

@stray tiger finished. Is it kind of high ?

[thorny glade]

is baka60 confirmed working with wooting 60he?

i kinda wanted give it a go, but the delivery cost more than the keyboard case itself for me apparently

[stray tiger]

Well 1. It is 4/20 so it might be kinda high and 2. Its a low profile case so yes the keycaps are going to be high off of the case.

[limpid crown]

4/20 what does it mean?

[limpid crown]

i understand that the keycaps popping off are because of the low profile

[limpid crown]

I mean thankfully i have the wrist rest. But what is that 4/20 you were talking about ?

[stray tiger]

Todays date. Forget I mentioned it lol

[limpid crown]

Ah i understood

Pun of words

[limpid crown]

Well done

[plucky scarab]

lmao

[thorny glade]

lol i just placed the order for baka60

the case costs 50usd and the delivery cost 90

no complaint, hard to find a good traymount case thats in-stock nowadays...

[stray tiger]

I'm not telling

[shadow phoenix]

Holy

I guess I should be happy with my 18 dollar shipping

[thorny glade]

ofc u should hahahaha

[edgy nexus]

lets please not talk about shipping for the klippe T

shit is like 48 usd

at least the case is worth it in my opinion but it still feels like a mad steal

[quiet bay]

yeah it sucks

[shell geode]

Yep, confirmed

[edgy nexus]

and the worst part is it takes a while before shipping out

ordered it thursday the 13th and they told me they were pretty sure it would be shipped out by the end of the month

[shadow phoenix]

is the 1 month lead time pretty accurate?

[edgy nexus]

yes

[shell geode]

Dang, $90 for shipping?

[edgy nexus]

very

accurate

[shadow phoenix]

oof

[edgy nexus]

they told me my specific case would probably be shipped out before the end of the month tho

[shadow phoenix]

that's good

what color you get?

[edgy nexus]

they said the estimatye is about 3 weeks as they are moving their offices

[edgy nexus]

grey

[thorny glade]

yeah, I live in Singapore..

[edgy nexus]

wanted black but I am building a custom and planning on putting the pbt fans cement keycaps on it so i wanted it to be a unique build

[thorny glade]

thx man, people on the paramount keebs discord also showed off their wooting build

[edgy nexus]

im in like 600$ already and I havent received anything yet

not including the wooting

[thorny glade]

that's a lot of commitment in there buddy

[edgy nexus]

lmfao

[shell geode]

Now that is a hobby

[edgy nexus]

indeed but it was for my birthday so I said fuck it

[edgy nexus]

I got school, football and gaming

might as well be dripped out in 2/3

[shell geode]

And soon, keyboards

[edgy nexus]

keyboards is in gaming

but the custom keyboard im building rn is going to be for typing and schoolwork so I can get some amazing audio while doing that

and the wooting is going to be for gaming only since im wearing a headset lol

[edgy nexus]

do you have another custom keyboard other than your wooting

[quiet bay]

getting keyboards becomes an addiction very quickly

[edgy nexus]

everything is an addiction lowkey

as soon as you like it

[quiet bay]

Ive spent 10 hours just

detaching the keyboard

and reattaching it

modding it

because im never satisfied enough with the sound

[edgy nexus]

gawd damn

yea im building my next one from the ground up

and learning from my mistakes at the same time

less expensive as a pc and less complicated too

[proud moth]

bro is building his own wooting

now thats a dedicated hobby

[shell geode]

Yup, built a Space65 III for my lady

[edgy nexus]

nice looking keyboard

mine doesnt understand why i spend so much on gaming'

[quiet bay]

well

your money your choice

as long as you have the money

[edgy nexus]

trust I got a budget

at least gave myself a budget of how much to spend

[odd arrow]

Am I losing it or do I need to turn the switches RGB window down for MX style keycaps?

I can't find where I read it initially

I have some Zooted GMK on and they seem fine with RGB up

[haughty delta]

Beautiful board, space65 is amazing

[shell geode]

Thanks! She loves it, but this shit ain't cheap 😬

[haughty delta]

Yeaaaa that's the only thing that's prevented me from getting one hahaha

I wanted to get the GMK Analog Dreams set but I can't justify $300 for everything

Maybe someday

[hard bone]

Space65 🤩🤩 that’s my endgame

[shell geode]

Yup, the last 65 I'll ever buy 😆

[edgy nexus]

lmao why

[hard bone]

Cuz that bitch goes for at least 1k after market

[edgy nexus]

huh

wtf

[hard bone]

Welcome to the custom keyboard world

[edgy nexus]

nah ur cappin

[hard bone]

No check for yourself

[edgy nexus]

aint no way the case goes for 1k

[hard bone]

Trust me it’s an endgame board it does go for thst much if u ain’t buying from a group buy

[edgy nexus]

wtf

bruh jusdt found it

crazy

[hard bone]

custom keyboard prices

[edgy nexus]

ill stick to my klippe T for a little while

yo what switches should I get

@shell geode how do you find pcb foam that fits ur build?

[hard bone]

Ktt roses 🔥🔥

[edgy nexus]

im tryna get some or my build but dont know where to look nor what to look for

[hard bone]

I’m pretty sure it comes with the kit or an add on at checkout

[edgy nexus]

nah for my klippe T

[hard bone]

What is klippe t

[edgy nexus]

i bought gateron yellows

[edgy nexus]

a case

[hard bone]

Oh I see

Mekanisk case?

[edgy nexus]

bought their plat and their pcb

[shell geode]

Because I got that case for $500 on the GB. It ain't cheap

[edgy nexus]

yep

[hard bone]

Kinda a steal still holy shit

[shell geode]

I don't have PCB foam in my wooting. I only have the pcb foam pads and the sorbothane

[edgy nexus]

ayt

im getting my sorbothan foam tmr

[shell geode]

Yeah, after finding out how much they go aftermarket, definitely worth it, but the lady likes it alot, so probably never gonna sell

[quiet bay]

heads up mlv makes the board very muted

[edgy nexus]

huh?

mlv?

[quiet bay]

Mlv is a dampener for noise

[shell geode]

mass loaded vinyl

[edgy nexus]

whats that

[shell geode]

also a sound dampening material

[edgy nexus]

ah

ill be fine with my sorbothane foam

lol

should I order nadaid stickers from pbtfans

[quiet bay]

Im just sticking with the stock foam

[edgy nexus]

for the stabilizers

[quiet bay]

Stock foam is pretty good

[edgy nexus]

im building another custom

[hard bone]

Based 💪

[edgy nexus]

imma keep my wooting stock except mayb lubing the switches

[quiet bay]

Wooting is probably going to be the only mechanical keyboard im going to have thats modded

(Im probably going to contradict my statement in the future)

[edgy nexus]

you definitely are

[shell geode]

almost definitely lol

[edgy nexus]

i just fell in love with the feel of a premium build like the wooting

coming from a ducky user

[quiet bay]

switching from membrane to mechanical switches was like heaven

[edgy nexus]

who thought duck was on top of the gaming scene

oh definitely

[hard bone]

Ducky was still a pretty good prebuilt

[edgy nexus]

yea

[quiet bay]

I now realize how terrible it felt to wield my membrane keyboard

[hard bone]

Definetly up there in terms of gaming keyboards

[edgy nexus]

but doesnt even come close to the wooting

[hard bone]

I’d disagree

[edgy nexus]

how

[hard bone]

The performance on the wooting is better but the overall construction and stabs is about the same

[edgy nexus]

im talking performance wise

[hard bone]

Still feels pretty prebuilt in stock form on the wooting

[hard bone]

No duh 💀

[edgy nexus]

lmao

[hard bone]

Wooting is ahead of all keyboards rn

[edgy nexus]

but like my ducky never felt as premium as this keyboard feels

[hard bone]

There isn’t any competition

[edgy nexus]

fosho

carrying the gaming scene

[quiet bay]

Cant wait to receive these and continue modding my wooting

[edgy nexus]

just hope theyll be able to keep it up and stay ahead

[hard bone]

But I still look for typing feel so that’s why I haven’t gotten a full board I’d only use the rapid trigger for osu anyways 💀

[edgy nexus]

i want to order from them

but its 30$ shipping

[quiet bay]

rip

[edgy nexus]

so i gotta make it worth it lmao

[quiet bay]

I think mine was like 7 dollars

[hard bone]

Canadian shipping 😔

[edgy nexus]

dont talk to me about it pls

[hard bone]

[quiet bay]

USA shipping

[edgy nexus]

im gonna get a PO box in the us soon

so that I can counter that

[hard bone]

Smart

[edgy nexus]

ik

[quiet bay]

when I saw shipping on the klippe t I felt my heart drop

[edgy nexus]

its like 40 minutes from my place so ill open a PO box there and ill stop paying for VAT and shipping

[edgy nexus]

sweat

[opal rune]

Can I open lekker switches with any switch opener?

[edgy nexus]

48$

[edgy nexus]

mx style

[opal rune]

Ty buddy

[edgy nexus]

no problem

[opal rune]

Any recommendations on Amazon for an opener?

[hard bone]

Bro why the fuck does the klippe t just look like the tofu65 ain’t no way 💀💀💀

[edgy nexus]

it looks more premium ngl

[quiet bay]

I bought the klippe t anyway

[hard bone]

It’s both tray mount 😔

[edgy nexus]

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0948T3X6G?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

[edgy nexus]

same

[quiet bay]

klippe t is very clean

[edgy nexus]

it really is

[quiet bay]

although

I think I wore the screws out

[edgy nexus]

how long was it before it shipped out for you?

[edgy nexus]

how

[opal rune]

Any lube recommendations? 🤓

[quiet bay]

Bought it from someone lol

I abused the case

💀

[edgy nexus]

krytox 205g0

[hard bone]

Krytox 205g0

[opal rune]

Haha

[edgy nexus]

how

[opal rune]

Nice thanks guys

[edgy nexus]

no problem

[quiet bay]

Repeatedly doing experimentations

[edgy nexus]

crazy guy

[quiet bay]

without caring about damage

[hard bone]

Did u strip the screws?

[edgy nexus]

thoughts on gateron yellows?

[hard bone]

They feel like ass compared to new gen switches

Wobbly asf

[edgy nexus]

dont buy ur lube off amazon

[quiet bay]

one of the screws is messed up

By me

[hard bone]

Yikes 😬

[edgy nexus]

what should I get instead?

i alr bought them

[hard bone]

Akko matcha greens are a good option if ur looking for budget switches

[edgy nexus]

so ill try them out for a bit before switching

[quiet bay]

do u think i can get spare screws 😂

[hard bone]

Or cream yellows for cheap long pole

[edgy nexus]

dont really care ab price

as long as it aint 1$ per switch

[hard bone]

Aight bet then go for ktt roses they are my personal favourite

[edgy nexus]

i just want the best sounding keyboard

[hard bone]

They are an amazing linear

[edgy nexus]

how ab oil kings?

[hard bone]

Oil kings are great

I’d go for cj switches imo

Best gateron switch imo

[edgy nexus]

?

[hard bone]

China joy switches are another switch made by gateron who made the oil kings

[edgy nexus]

ah

[opal rune]

Yeah Amazon seems to have fake products

[edgy nexus]

yea

go on like kbd fans

[hard bone]

I bought mine off amazon

[opal rune]

Is there a shop in Germany offering this stuff?

[edgy nexus]

most likely

[hard bone]

Gpl 205g0 is the same as normal krytox

[opal rune]

I try this out

[hard bone]

Just one has a brand and one doesn’t

[edgy nexus]

fair

heard krytox better tho

[hard bone]

U get it for cheaper too

[edgy nexus]

lasts longer

and feels better

[hard bone]

No it’s about the same from my experience

I’ve used krytox for years and I used the knock off on my new switches and felt about the same

Consistency is about the same too

[edgy nexus]

ah nice

[edgy nexus]

kinetics labs too

[austere creek]

im unsure how its a knock off tbh... gpl isnt some line of products krytox has. 205g0 would be a sort of standardized metric to bin GPLs

[hard bone]

They are the same. one is just a name brand version of gpl 205g0 it’s the same lubricant

[edgy nexus]

alright boys

goodnight

[shell geode]

My first switches ever are the Milky Yellows, and I still have them

Night!

[winter cargo]

Yo Ppl. Anyone ever tried to fit side printed Keycaps on the Lekker Switches? The LED is on the top side, while it would probably look better on the Bottom. Do you think I can just flip them upside down? Anyone done that?

[stoic marten]

Hello, it's the case I use and fit perfectly !

[bronze grove]

SMH when the founders go leaking information casually on Twitter.

[civic phoenix]

[frank ether]

wait are you saying i should have waited to buy my wooting till june to get a metal case?!!?

[austere creek]

i mean youll need to get a 60he anyway for the case. unless you wanted another keyboard in there

[cosmic mauve]

What keycaps does the 2HE use? I'm really used to low profile keycaps so I'm looking to buy some and I'm a complete newbie to keyboard modding.

[bronze grove]

OEM profile keycaps. Like most gaming keyboard brands 🙂

[cosmic mauve]

Thank you!

[cosmic mauve]

If I wanted to make the 2he as quiet as possible, what steps could I take to do that? It seems from reviews it's already pretty quiet cus of the hall switches yeah?

[bronze grove]

https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/comments/8gq8qo/silenced_wooting_one_w_comparison_videos/

The most obvious mod I can think of that isn't switch related would be adding some additional dampening in the case.

This old reddit thread for the W1 shows one way of doing it.

[glacial seal]

Wow opposite. I want my 2 to have a more satisfying thock. 😄

Cause the sound is a bit thin.

[austere creek]

same steps apply

just use different filling foam

depending on the foam the high or low frequencies pass through it better

[river reef]

Its fine, the plate reflect enough light

No flipping on this

[shrewd cargo]

Silly me not thinking about the magnets on my first attempt lubing switches at a friends "workshop". :D A week later i lubed my second Two HE Switch after Switch and it went really well. Extremly happy now with the result.

[royal willow]

@bronze grove any chance you’ll release multiple variants of the module with different key layouts? Id love either an arrow cluster or a shortened right shift with a function key to the right (I come from hhkb land)

[bronze grove]

Highly unlikely. Very expensive to set up new variants.

[royal willow]

Bummer

[hallow socket]

hello its me again, your friendly neighborhood fullsize case hunter

i contacted 2 more companies after my first one (800 eur) and one of them never got back to me but the other one did, after alot of friendly conversation i have ended up on a price point of 500 usd

which is better than before but still very high

now im debating whether its worth it or not

[pale aspen]

this layout is also good

work with universal 60% pcb

also occupy the same pcb space as current wooting 60 pcb

[bronze grove]

So a few things. Doesn't have ISO key next to Z.

Uses very different keycaps to what is considered mainstream, so that means expensive GB keycap sets.

Not a great start for something to be mass produced

[ionic bay]

Mansen... I noticed u showed the prototype for the module

can u confirm or deny that it uses a daughterboard?

[bronze grove]

No.

It's just like a Tofu case or similar. Module is the same as stock in terms of mounting.

[ionic bay]

oh not the alu case, the pcb module

ah ty

alu case looks nice too

need to find some decent spacers now

[pale aspen]

2u shift is common

but bottom row you can change to "conventional 6.25u" space bar

like this

also nobody use right shift in gaming

[bronze grove]

Only for ANSI.

Us Europeans usually need that extra key. In Danish it's <>\ so kind of essential.

[pale aspen]

ah

i guess 65% is smallest beside 60%

or tkl

[dark saddle]

There's 40% keebs, for losers.

[zinc scroll]

What are those keycaps?

[bronze grove]

Looks like sanded side printed ones.

[river reef]

[pale aspen]

where does ir ship from?

china?

[river reef]

Can also get it from drop or taobao
