[bronze grove]

Nothing a bit of fine sandpaper can't solve.

[tulip pumice]

Besides mech market, is there anywhere I can look for compatible cases? KBD has none from what I'm seeing. And all the recent posts on mechmarket are already sold =[

[river reef]

You could but wont be side printed

[bronze grove]

Nothing a knife can't solve!

[river reef]

Also the surface is actually treated rough compare to normal smooth abs

[bronze grove]

Just etch a spacebar symbol into the side paint.

[river reef]

At that point is it really worth the effort tho

[hallow socket]

just buy another keycap set just for a different spacebar

[river reef]

Its like $25 usd on tabao lmao

[dark saddle]

Just carve a block of wood

[bronze grove]

This is how we used to get reverse pudding keycaps back in the day.

[river reef]

Yea ik, saw some video doing that

Only thing seems sketchy is my craftsmanship

[tulip pumice]

any case that supports the dz60 works?

[bronze grove]

Ask whoever makes the DZ60 works PCB? 😄

[tulip pumice]

What do you mean>

[bronze grove]

You tell me. You're asking if there are any cases that fit a PCB that Wooting has nothing to do with.

[river reef]

DZ60 is a pcb not a case

Why do you want case that supports a pcb that wooting has nothing to do with lol

[tulip pumice]

Right. I'm struggling to find cases that fit the wooting pcb. So my question was to broaden my search. The compatible cases I've seen for wooting, all seem to be the ones compatible with the DZ60. So I Was trying to clarify if any case that works with the DZ60, works with the wooting PCB.

[bronze grove]

yes
in theory

There's a reason we have a community list with both yes and no cases.

[river reef]

Or you can read pinned note about case compatibility list

On aliexpress theres plenty

[untold wigeon]

Razer Phantom Pudding Keycap will fit the wooting two he?

[untold wigeon]

would o-ring mount mod affect the travel distance for the lekker switch?

[bronze grove]

WHICH ORING MOD, AAAAAH 😄

We already covered this. Where exactly are you putting the oring.

On the stem of the switch?

[untold wigeon]

I was putting it on the plate to screw it down

[bronze grove]

If yes, then yes. You will be unable to bottom out the switch, which will require some adjustment in actuation in Wootility on your part to compensate.

[untold wigeon]

I didn't know there was more than one XD

[normal schooner]

buger mount is a nice one

for some

[bronze grove]

O-rings go in many places. So you gotta be more specific when asking 😄

[untold wigeon]

yeah the burger mount mod

[quaint notch]

Are there more lekker switches out there for purchase

[bronze grove]

Burger mounting doesn't affect the switches. It isn't on the switches.
Putting o-rings ON the switch stem will affect them (you do this to cushion and quiet them at a cost)

[bronze grove]

We're still working hard on restocking - We're still fulfilling existing orders fully before adding the ability to pre-order more.

[quaint notch]

What are the other switches

[bronze grove]

Oh DIFFERENT ones. No.

[quaint notch]

What were the orange ones in the last uwu video

[untold wigeon]

when will 50g springs be available to ship

[normal schooner]

flaretech for the wooting one

[vivid carbon]

Wonder how the wooting metal case will compare to others

[bronze grove]

I had a quick hands on with it at WootUp, and I definitely want it.

And that's coming from someone who already bought TWO cases for 60HE 😄

[normal schooner]

yrah but u also won the coolest kb unannounced not given not recognized award

[vivid carbon]

Will it be able to be purchased separately? Or will it come with future cases?

[bronze grove]

Case is 100% separate purchase. As will the standalone "module" (Which is the 60HE without case or keycaps)

[vivid carbon]

Ooooh

Will the standalone have a plate?

Plate swapping would be nice

[bronze grove]

Everything you need to slide it into a Tofu, ours or any similar case.

And it has support for SOME screw-in stabs.

[haughty delta]

Dielectric grease acquired

Local hardware didn't have molykote

[pastel pewter]

was there news on the pricing of the wooting alu case?

[bronze grove]

No news yet.

[wary pollen]

Finally closed in on my ideal keycaps set for aesthetics and sound (PBTfans PYGA)

[stray tiger]

Pyga is nice! Im glad they are restocking it soon as the used prices are getting out of hand

[frank ether]

whats a rough price we should expect for the metal case? I want to get one but if the wooting case is going to be good ill wait

[bronze grove]

Nothing to report there yet.

[brazen thunder]

is support for screw in stabilizers the only difference?

between the module and the keyboard i have now.

[lethal temple]

@wary pollen did you ever get a chance to try that cf plate you ordered? just curious what you thought about it, I ordered one for the sirius

lol right now I'm using it unmounted with a standard aluminum plate and it works perfectly fine which is funny, assembly doesn't shift in normal use
not using any dampener/case foam either, sounds way different than my aluminum case which I had to stuff with foam to get rid of case ping

[mellow rock]

did anyone change the color of the plate so far?
Would like to have it black instead of white

[somber scroll]

@shell geode vinyl wrapped theirs and someone else painted theirs (I forget who tho)

[pastel latch]

How can I order one of these

[somber scroll]

https://www.wooting.io

[lethal temple]

#996573707235491950 message this person? @somber scroll @mellow rock

[pastel latch]

The cf plates @somber scroll

I want to customize the bottom part

[somber scroll]

Yup!

[somber scroll]

Oh I have no idea on plates lol

[pastel latch]

[lethal temple]

oh getting plates cut is a process that is completely third party, you need the dxf dimension file and have some place like ponoko to cut it for you

[pastel latch]

@lethal temple thx u

[mellow rock]

found it, thanks

[stray tiger]

How did you attach the PCB to the plate? Did you drill out standoff holes?

[lethal temple]

Yes there are standoff holes from when I had the plate cut, but this plate was for tray mount so by unmounted, I just mean that it doesn't mount to the case itself. It just sits in there

[stray tiger]

Ahh, so it doesnt have the gasket mount tabs like the stock plate

[pale aspen]

using ABS keycap in gaming keybord

[lethal temple]

Correct, also the case uses top mount rather than gasket mount

[stray tiger]

Yeah, those sandwich mount tabs (so gasket mount without the gaskets haha)

[tame thistle]

im new to the whole keyboard modding thing, does anyone have any like specific foam that they use or specific o rings for a burger mount? im looking around but i dont know what im looking for

[spiral prawn]

If you buy a wooting board there is foam inside it. its pretty good

at least in the 60he, not sure about the he2

[tame thistle]

is there a universal backplate? or do i have to get a custom one for it to fit / have screws

[bronze grove]

Custom.

It needs the standoffs.

Gotta screw the plate to the PCB with the foam in between. Otherwise you'll just have a loose switch plate laying on top

[tame thistle]

ahhhhh that makes sense

[haughty delta]

I got some uxcell silicone o-rings from Amazon and I replaced the default foam with sorbothane. The default foam is just fine though

[tame thistle]

aight! ty!

[haughty delta]

No problem!

[shell geode]

I'm noticing that every time I take apart my build (I unscrewed the PCB out of my case yesterday to inspect the PCB foam) and screw it back in, my 60he starts acting up and types additional leeeeeeeeeetters on its own, and still happens even after unplugging replugging and waiting 5 seconds. A fix for this is to reset the board after every reassemble.

[stray tiger]

@shell geode have you done any mods? Ive seen another user report a similar issue and the problem went away after he removed his tape mod and another who said their problem went away after they removed their burger mount.

[tall hollow]

Hmm? This was like not an issue for me

[shell geode]

I don't even know what mods I DIDN'T do 😆

[tall hollow]

I remember you talking about taping your switches.

[shell geode]

Yeah I have the tape mod, and that could be the culprit. I'm thinking even touching the pcb is causing it. I have the o-rings and the longer screws are on the way. I just want to apply the oring between the case and the tape mod

[stray tiger]

Try removing the tape and see. Easy mod to undo or redo (plus it's one that seem to make little to no difference for a lot of people)

[shell geode]

I'll wait for the o-rings to come in and I will open up the board again and remove the tape mod 👍 I've left nothing stock in this board lol

[stray tiger]

That's exactly why I encourage people to try and take mods one at a time and test after each one. It does take more time but there is nothing worse than doing 5 things and then trying to figure out which thing you did caused a problem.

[shell geode]

Reminds me of building whole computers and nothing happens on the first boot, so now you gotta figure out which part is faulty 😒

[tall hollow]

yeah, thats the best way to approach it

[shell geode]

I saw Keybored on YouTube use these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082SVFWCS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

[tall hollow]

I used those too, and it works fine

4mm outer diameter, and 1mm inner diameter.

oh and 1.5 mm thick

[shell geode]

Yup the same one Ducky said, 4mm OD 1mm ID and 1.5mm thicc

[abstract hound]

has anyone found an alternative cable that works with the rapid setting

[tall hollow]

ander, you should start making a list of compatible cables lol

kinda like with the cases

[bronze grove]

Most cables work, even with Tachyon enabled.

However it comes at a cost of Brightness of the LEDs while keeping a clear signal.

[bronze grove]

People are more than welcome to provide practical examples.

A very helpful community members donated a Cablemod cable recently, which I brought with me to HQ, so Jeroen can dissect it and use it for more testing and such.

[tall hollow]

true lol

[tough raven]

Honest question, can anyone really tell when Tachyon mode is enabled?

keep in mind, i’m not arguing the benefits. always go lowest latency cuz why not.

[tall hollow]

Kinda,

[tall hollow]

What kind of games do you play?

[tough raven]

osu + fps

[haughty delta]

I used these o-rings and m2x7mm screws

You can fit 2x o-rings on either side of the PCB, its nice

[shell geode]

I will do that!

[tall hollow]

Oh in higher level plays (OD 9+) you would notice.

The polling rate can be the difference between getting a 300 and a 100

On mania it’s even stricter with timing, because you also have rainbow 300s

This video explains polling rates well and how it influences rythm games https://youtu.be/heZVmr9fyng

[shell geode]

How about games like Overwatch, Valorant, Apex, do polling rates matter?

[tall hollow]

Probably not, since the difference between the 500hz mode and the 1000hz mode is a matter of 0.1ms which is negligible.

[shell geode]

Gotcha, I'll turn off Tachyon because I want my rgb effects back

[tough raven]

now this is interesting

[tall hollow]

Rhythm games are very different though, because it’s less about reaction time and more about timing your inputs

[tall hollow]

Even then, 500Hz polling rate is already better than 98 percent of keyboards out there.

Most keyboards poll at 125hz

[shell geode]

Okay good to know, I just want to have an edge on the 12 year old on the other team thinking hes the shit

[tall hollow]

I think that’s more of a skill issue than a hardware one

[shell geode]

Very true, but I'll take any edge. All fair play on online games 😆

[tall hollow]

Even with the wacky assisted aiming on controller?

(You know, since the keyboard can mock a controller)

Aim assist is supposed to help bridge the skill gap between controller and pc gamers lmao.

To make gameplay more fair

Although you could probably get away with just putting the 2 platforms in separate lobbies in the first place.

[shell geode]

Controllers with never keep up. I said it.

[tall hollow]

Want to know why? Because controllers can’t do flick movements like a mouse can.

They are always slow and granular.

[shell geode]

Yup, and it will stay that way

[oblique ledge]

It's not that way now. Go play apex, halo, cod, etc. All the competitive games that heavy support controller with aim assist are controller dominated. Don't believe me? Go look at inputs for pro teams. Apex as an easy example has recently had a m&k exodus to controller in pro play with one of the best players in the game switching and winning.

https://youtu.be/LmyUX5Y6Ghw

[shell geode]

Oh wow

[mental hemlock]

100% ture

true*

[oblique ledge]

It's still a boring ass play style. Miss me with that controller. 😴

[mental hemlock]

boring in what sense lol

that doesnt make any sense

[arctic yew]

definitly not, but then again im very bad at essentially any game i play

[shadow mantle]

Just burger mounted my board!

As well as a bunch of other mods! Tape, burger mode, lubed switch and stabilizers, and swapped out the springs!

[stray tiger]

Thats great! let us know how you like it and share some pics!

[quiet bay]

anyone got any idea

what screws the klippe t uses

[normal schooner]

same as the wooting ones

[quiet bay]

ok thanks

[tall hollow]

same length too?

oop, they're like 1mm shorter than the wooting screws, but it should be fine.

but they are both M2 threaded, so it should be fine.

[normal schooner]

no theyre a bit shorter

the from the wooting ones

[tall hollow]

wooting screws are M2x6mm

[drifting topaz]

any recommendations for a case that's available ?

[fast steeple]

is it worth to lube the lekker edition?

[bronze grove]

Sure?

Same switches.

[fast steeple]

hmm

what about other mods? i got the stabs lubed, but would this chassis work with tape mod on pcb, or tape under the stabs?

[shell geode]

Baka60, Klippe T

[drifting topaz]

thanksss! no modifications needed for the baka60?

[shell geode]

Nope! It drops right in 👌

[drifting topaz]

thanksss

[shell geode]

Np! It's a great case for the price

[fast steeple]

can anyone provide some input on modding the lekker, or the two HE?

[shell geode]

Are the Lekkers in the Two HE the same as the 60HE?

[bronze grove]

Yes.

[fast steeple]

yeah, but i meant the board itself

[tall hollow]

hmm, well what do you think can be imrpved?

[fast steeple]

would like to know if i'll have space to put in foams, or tape mod on the pcb

[tall hollow]

ah, well I dont have a 2HE, so uhh, cant really say anything about mods.

[fast steeple]

damn

[tall hollow]

I can however can give you input about stabs and lekker switches.

[fast steeple]

sure!

[tall hollow]

one thing I can recommend it lubing your switches.

for the stabs its really up to you.

I didnt, I just put a generous amount of 205g0 on it

but thats just me

its really personal preference

[fast steeple]

hmm i see

im likely gonna get tribosys 3203 or 3204 since im also gonna lube some boba u4t and box navies

is a lighter lube fine on these?

[tall hollow]

again, personal preference

some people like thicker lubes, some people like thinner lubes

it will definitely help with making it a little smoother.

although they are already pretty smooth fromt he fact that they are factory lubed and have a contactless design.

[fast steeple]

thanks, ill try it out and see what happens

[tall hollow]

they do have a bit of ping out the box

the "oing" sound

[grizzled path]

some people have noticed a lot of pinging, I didn't have any though I never used the stock case

lubing made the switches super silent overall

[tall hollow]

ye

[grizzled path]

I did the whole thing yes

[tall hollow]

yes, it helped alot

[shell geode]

I have a clip in regards to the ping if you're all interested, I posted before

[tall hollow]

I lubed the spring, stem, bottom housing, and top housing

[grizzled path]

lemme see if I can find my vid

[tall hollow]

it just overall makes the switch feel better and sound a little cleaner.

yes

[shell geode]

F key - stock
D key - lubed and spring swapped
S key - tapped, lubed, and spring swapped

[shell geode]

My girl when she says 'the spacebar has a rattle'

[tall hollow]

but its at the sacrifice of having a mushy bottom out,

[shell geode]

Ya gotta go for the grease and leave the blob in there

[tall hollow]

not really, just the feel

[fast steeple]

which spring is thi?

[tall hollow]

well actually, thats if you put tape on the bottom

putting the tape on just the top shouldnt be an issue in terms of feel

I sure hope not, but it doesnt sound like it

@shell geode

[tall hollow]

the case swap really does make it sound better doesnt it.

[shell geode]

It is not, I made I wasn't overdoing it or its gonna sound wet

[grizzled path]

it does yeah

wood's good for acoustics I guess

[tall hollow]

the 'sticky honey" sound I like to call it

[shell geode]

The Wooting 50cn! You can order the pack on their website

[grizzled path]

yea

[tall hollow]

also looks nice!

[shell geode]

Ooo sticky honey, that's accurate

[tall hollow]

overlubed switches usually sound like they have sticky honey in it

[fast steeple]

where did you add the tape on this one? or do you mean just on the pcb

[shell geode]

It's on the top housing, it reduces the stem contact on the upstroke. You can view my modding clip here:
https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1097648230176673872

I don't know about the films, I didn't need to film mine, or modify the films to fit

But because of where the stem makes contact with the housing on top, I'm not sure of what the film will do reduce that contact

Some others on here did film theirs because they did have some room in the housing, but mine didn't

Yup exactly

I think it's worth doing if I know there's another mod I can do to my 60he, but definitely not necessary

Also I'm weird lol

[tall hollow]

probably not, filming only helps reduce housing wobble.

[normal schooner]

most important one is lubing

[tall hollow]

ye

I filmed my switches actually, they just sound a little cleaner. also because the housing wobble was very bad on my batch lol

ive done- more unique things

so has other people

[shell geode]

There's also the silicone method, where you dab a blob on those contact areas, but to me it sounded really soft and mushy

[tall hollow]

the ones I had deformed, but the housings actually snapped together.

I think for me its very much me being nitpicky because most people wouldnt notice or wouldnt care lol.

so I dont think it would warrant a return.

yeah

[somber scroll]

Silicone gasket maker (on upstroke and downstroke). Stabs are unlubed so ignore that haha. Switches are also hand lubed. Doing the silicone method is a pita tbh. If I did it again I think I would do the tape like Gewalt did and also put it on the bottom

[hybrid light]

is the wooting two he as flexible as the wooting 60he?

[tall hollow]

they both have like zero flex

[hybrid light]

?

[somber scroll]

Do you mean flexible as in movable or flexible as in “able to remap keys”?

[hybrid light]

is the wooting two he removable?

[somber scroll]

You can pull the caps, switches, and then pop the top layer of the case off

[nocturne tusk]

Does anybody know if I can install Rk royal kludge keyboard keycaps on the wooting by any chance?

[somber scroll]

Finding a different case will be almost impossible tho

[somber scroll]

Are they cherry stems?

If so, then probably

[nocturne tusk]

im not sure

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P6Y1KP9/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza?th=1

its that keyboard

[hybrid light]

https://tenor.com/view/shakaam-twitch-merci-merci-beaucoup-grateful-gif-17032838

[somber scroll]

Yeah judging by the stems on the switches they should work

[nocturne tusk]

Cool man Awesome thank you so much I appreciate it

Just placed my order today and wanted some white on it

and I have the Rk royal so was wondering about it thanks again!

[haughty delta]

THOCK

[quiet bay]

ngl im kind of digging this flipped spacebar

[hot quiver]

Do I also use krytox on lubing the springs?

[frank ether]

I ordered the PSD60 aluminum case for the wooting!!

[stray tiger]

205 if just lubing the ends, 105 if bag lubing

[haughty delta]

Idk if I'll ever not bag lube springs, it's so much less work

[edgy nexus]

@shell geode i just got my sorbothane

Put some paper medical tape all over

[grizzled path]

do you like the taste

[edgy nexus]

Gonna install it in my klippe T when I get it since I have to cut it to size

[edgy nexus]

Best tasting foam ever ngl

[grizzled path]

yum

[shell geode]

Let's get it!

[haughty delta]

Sorbothane is so nice for keebs

[edgy nexus]

I have to cut it to the size of the case so Ill wait for my klippe to arrive

[edgy nexus]

Feels lowkey premium

[shell geode]

Yeah, definitely feels weighty, and easy to cut with a xacto knife

[haughty delta]

Yea it does, it's so thick and heavy

[shell geode]

I like that it adds weight to the build, along with the brass plate

[edgy nexus]

Yep ordered a brass plate too lol

[edgy nexus]

Is it easy to cut with the exacto knife

And how did you make it fit perfectly in your case?

Since you can’t fit it in without cutting first

[shell geode]

Yup, super easy, so make sure you measure what you need, and if you need to make adjustments, you can keep cutting away bits to make it fit

[edgy nexus]

Ah nvm lol

Measure with a ruler

How dumb am i wtf

[shell geode]

Measure the interior space then cut what you measure

[edgy nexus]

Ive read that it was pretty hard to cut even with a exacto knife

How did you make the holes for your standoffs?

[haughty delta]

I literally just put the piece in the case, held my finger over the spot where the standoff would go, and then cut like an X over it with a knife

[edgy nexus]

Didnt cut it in a circle lol

Around the standoff?

[haughty delta]

Nah straight lines are easier

[shell geode]

Yeah my openings for the standoffs are square shaped

[shell geode]

Including the edges

[edgy nexus]

Ayt ill keep that in mind

Got my switches today too

My lube got pushed back to monday so Ill lube them then

Prolly gon lube my wooting switches too

Lube all of em

And im gonna build it once I receive my stuff from mekanisk

[haughty delta]

Mine basically looks like this

[edgy nexus]

Lmfao

Why the triangles missing on each side

[haughty delta]

I have a Tofu60 case, that's just where the standoffs are

[edgy nexus]

Bro really made a swastika with his foam

[haughty delta]

Nooooo

[edgy nexus]

Lmao

Crazy

Cant wait to get my case

[shell geode]

@edgy nexus I screenshotted my video

[haughty delta]

I regret everything

[untold wigeon]

Wait

So does the 60he come foamed already?

I can just tape it or ?

[shell geode]

Yup, it has a really good foam inside already, you can just tape mod it and other things

[edgy nexus]

Not too shabby

[edgy nexus]

Lmao

[craggy spear]

Put ceramic cerakeys on the wooting. Kinda wish there was a 70 or 80g spring to buy that would fit... space bar feels a little too mushy. Really needs some more OOOMPH but otherwise feels amazing.

spacebar is 25g~ by itself LOL

[storm meteor]

Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

[river reef]

Switch film?

[storm meteor]

done that

its like

the housing ont he plate

the switch is firm, films and does not move outside of being in the space bar spot

but it wobbles in the plate

its also only on the sapcebar

all switches are lubed and filmed

fixed with a bandaid!!!

[river reef]

Bandaid at where it clips onto the plate?

Mines wobbling a bit too

[storm meteor]

This is what I’ve done

My spacebar stabs are also loose so I’m doing it there 2

Trynna stop the ticking

[river reef]

Hmm

Mine wobbles but no ticking

[storm meteor]

mine ticks if i lightlyt tap the spacebar

but im being fussy

😄

[river reef]

But I holee modded my stabs and used everglide v3

[storm meteor]

hnmm maybe i should holeee mod

:/

Now it’s just on the one side lol and it’s driving me crazy

[shell geode]

Yup, might have to holee and wire balance to make sure

[dark saddle]

There';s a slittle man with a mustache and beard there

[glass vigil]

they put the little people in the keyboard

[haughty delta]

The tiny people in the keyboard:

https://tenor.com/view/eric-andre-let-me-out-gif-18252480

[shadow mantle]

Here is how it turned out!

[haughty delta]

Hey I saw that on Reddit

[stray tiger]

Love that! Looking good

[unkempt mica]

Where should i get a coiled cable from?

[glass vigil]

you shouldn't use one with a wooting

[unkempt mica]

oh

[glass vigil]

can screw with the sensors
many are also just not capable of enough power delivery

[dark saddle]

How about 0.00000000000000001 acuation

[bronze grove]

There is a slight bit of tolerance variance with the plate. For this I would recommend taking a bit of tape and putting it on the south facing side of the switch to act as a bit of a pillow to hold it in place a little more tighter. I did this with the switch and both stabilizers on one of my 60HE's because it wobbled a bit more than the other 🙂

[iron jacinth]

So I got the Krytox 205g0 from Wooting and now opened the thing as I wanted to lube today. It seems like it split a little, leaving some clear oil on top. Should I be worried about something or just mix it back together?

[bronze grove]

The temperature changes in shipping can sometimes cause this. If you stir it back up it should regain its original mix.

If it doesn't feel free to reach out by email 🙂

[iron jacinth]

Wonderful. Thanks!

[iron jacinth]

Now I am currently opening the switches and found this fella on the right here. I believe some guys here have the 50g springs, right? Could they look like the spring on the right there? A tiny bit taller and not as many curls

[shell geode]

This is the 50cn, it has even less than that one

[iron jacinth]

Kk, yeah. That is a huge difference

[shell geode]

But I think if you rotate that third spring about 90 degrees counterclockwise so its facing the same direction as the other two, it would have the same number of curls, no?

[thorny glade]

For osu players like me it matters a WHOLE LOT, other than that the impact is quite minimal

[austere cradle]

osu

[thorny glade]

don't judge me

i literally sold my zoom65 for this

[tall hollow]

Does help with stamina

[tall hollow]

Oh damn

[austere cradle]

zoom65?

whats that

[tall hollow]

Custom keeb

[thorny glade]

my last custom keeb

i decided to give up this hobby

kind off

[austere cradle]

is wooting good 4 u

[thorny glade]

coz i started modding my wooting haha

absolutely

[austere cradle]

will it be good for fortnite etc

[thorny glade]

i m not sure about fortnite coz i don't play it

but for fps' that requires counter strafing it does

[austere cradle]

i mean it doesnt but

i heard it is good for fortnite

[thorny glade]

it's still the fastest keyboard on the market though

[austere cradle]

ye

[thorny glade]

practically any game that needs a keyboard benefits from a wooting

[tall hollow]

Double movement is what makes it so good.

[thorny glade]

some greater than others

[austere cradle]

ye

[thorny glade]

coz it detects your up/down keypress rather than that specific actuation point

[tall hollow]

Depends, the wootings features is a double edge sword. Things like RT are actually worse for some players because of their finger control.

[thorny glade]

true

[tall hollow]

You need good finger control to be able to use RT effectively.

[austere cradle]

rt?

[tall hollow]

Rapid Trigger

[thorny glade]

rapid trigger that is

[austere cradle]

ye

i heard thats good for fortnite

but the only other keyboard ive used is razer blackwidow tkl

[tall hollow]

Well yeah, the double movement is kinda insane.

You can do strafes that can only be replicated with a controller

[austere cradle]

ye

heard is good for apex

[tall hollow]

Yeah, the RT can allow you do do micro-strafes

[austere cradle]

ye

[tall hollow]

And pull off super jumps way easier

[austere cradle]

im scared my spacebar might come fucked up

[tall hollow]

Hmm?

You mean rattly stabs? Or something else?

[austere cradle]

ye just rattling etc

[tall hollow]

Oh, it will probably rattle in a matter of days.

It’s factory lube, very generous, but not generous enough.

[tall hollow]

This is based on my experience when I was running the wooting stock for about a week and a half.

[austere cradle]

idk if thats bad or nah

[tall hollow]

It’s not bad for the keyboard at all, it just sounds awful (to me at least)

[austere cradle]

idm noises

lol

my blackwidow is loud asf

[tall hollow]

Lol, then it’s fine without mods

[austere cradle]

type in blackwidow tkl sound test

[iron jacinth]

Actually not, the distance between each curl is a little different

[austere cradle]

its so loud

[warm iris]

Got my wooting this week. After taping, lubing and cutetify, it fits perfectly. Really great keyboard

[austere cradle]

i have it next to my mic

[austere cradle]

is that vape

nvm

its paint

nice esc key

got it for my birthday march 14th

[warm iris]

its a vape and its paint

[austere cradle]

confusing

the black thing is vape

the small things are paint

[warm iris]

printed and painted it myself

[austere cradle]

tkl

[tall hollow]

I see you are a fan of Totoro

[austere cradle]

the switch is so unstable for space idk why

[warm iris]

kind of

[iron jacinth]

Is the housing wobbling?

[tall hollow]

It’s a very nice animated movie.

[warm iris]

https://tenor.com/view/totoro-gif-24991987

[austere cradle]

not thinking its ordered

lol

[austere cradle]

just the switch

and the esc key always comes out

20may

ster

ye

urs already came tho?

i ordered mine 14-15 april

and someone ordered theirs 16 and got it yesterday 😭

nah ster

but he had loads on his order

yep

like lube wrist rest etc

but ye

blackwidow is like mthe worst keyboard u can get imo

id rather get membrane

ya

and i still qualify for cashcups in fortnite w it

lol

and then i always throw in finals

[iron jacinth]

Now... has anyone ever tried a titanium plate?

[austere cradle]

idk maybe

they probably have

[iron jacinth]

I was wondering to get one. Technically it should even surpass the rigidity of steel. But the acoustics may suck

[austere cradle]

i heard blackwidow mini is like wooting sound

but ik thas a lie

[tribal urchin]

any beige wooters here?

[austere cradle]

i like it w black case

[tribal urchin]

yeah, beige really fits with black case

[austere cradle]

get a cusom strap tho

and what wire do u use

[tribal urchin]

but I'm planning on swaping the case for red frog mini as it'll fit the red sublegends

[austere cradle]

ye

[tribal urchin]

wire? the stock one currently

[austere cradle]

ah ok

[tribal urchin]

I'll have to swap it too

[austere cradle]

i wish they made other colour ones just for customization

[tribal urchin]

true true

[austere cradle]

instead of us having to use others

[warm iris]

really like the windows buttons

[iron jacinth]

Yes, those are fire

[tribal urchin]

yup, I prefer them over non-colored ones

glad Shenpo offers both

[craggy spear]

Resin wrist rests are much more comfortable for me. Slightly cold to the touch at first but you'll warm it up. Easier to clean. You oils don't wear off paints like wooden ones from glorious. I have the drop black crystal one too

[edgy nexus]

Lfg my klippe just shipped

[austere cradle]

ok

whats kbd fand

[craggy spear]

I moved from all the gels, foams, and such long ago. They invertibly break down and wear out. You can get resin ones all sorts of places. Etsy, Amazon, kdb I think sells some.

Idk if I can post links in here. I'll dm you some ones I have and where to find more.

[austere cradle]

whys kbd pounds

dollars

send me aliexpress link plsss

tofu case and store

ok

how much does a tofu go for @idle warren

how is it now

how much on resellers

also can u send the store

[agile shell]

maybe u can try on this website https://www.maxgaming.com/en/cases/tofu60-aluminum-case-60-e-white

[austere cradle]

whats a good case for wooting for £80

thats 60£

[bright spruce]

Tofu case for 114€ LMAO

Who'd actually buy that shit

[austere cradle]

can you send????

[glossy pagoda]

It's a pinned message in this very channel

[austere cradle]

Oh alr srry

ill check when im on pc

[somber scroll]

Oh it wasn’t supposed to be split? Loool. Mine definitely was. I did remix with a toothpick but it never seemed to recombine

[fossil mason]

I’m planning to mod my wooting in a few days. Do you think the Wooting is able to have pop? So far I’m thinking to mod by using foam, hand lube, and tempest

[pastel pewter]

when’d you order?

[vital halo]

Wans't the price about the same from KBD store?

[sleek grove]

Is there a noticeable difference in sound between abs and pbt keycaps on the Wooting 60he?

[dark saddle]

Yes

[sleek grove]

Cool. If my fingers get fairly sweaty, do you think abs would be too slippery?

[eternal swallow]

best keycaps that match with the take control strap?

[vital halo]

the one they about to release

https://next.wooting.io/post/more-productions-take-control-keycaps

if you like the style and side print

[eternal swallow]

love them, thanks

[bright spruce]

Didn't it used ti be 70-80€

[vital halo]

maybe on sale, i seen mostly around 100€ everywhere.

[bright spruce]

Nah kbd was the priciest

Everywhere else was cheaper

Then wooting came and everyone bought that case

And they discountinued the production and thr price shot up

[bright spruce]

Exactly what I said

[vital halo]

I've seen mostly 100bucks where its still listed on other shop

[vital halo]

[bright spruce]

I know dw

[vital halo]

i mean if you ready to pay 90, 100 shouldn't be a big deal but thats maybe just me

[bright spruce]

Yes but its marked up

From the original price

At that price just buy a klippe t then

Which is better than the tofu

[vital halo]

I would have gone Klippe T in a blink of an eye if i was in NA

for EU you gotta spend over 200bucks

or order canceled

[bright spruce]

Oh tf

Didn't know that

[bright spruce]

Bruh 42€ shipping

[vital halo]

Thats BS + they don't sell anything else interesting on their website.

[dark saddle]

Paying 100$ for 6$ worth of Aluminum

[bright spruce]

Disgusting

[bright spruce]

Sucks to be you for not having disposable money I guess?

[vital halo]

you pay for the work not just the aluminum.

[limpid crown]

Guys a noob question:
How i have an ANSI layout on my wooting 60.

Is there a way to have the keycap Ñ and spanish keycaps from Wooting ?

[bronze grove]

Do you have an ANSI keyboard? Or are you asking how to GET ANSI?

[tall hollow]

Yeah, the amount of work it takes to go from raw material to finished product is insane.

There’s a lot that goes on that you don’t see in the manufacturing and design process

[austere creek]

well also machine time

the longer it takes to make on a machine the more expensive

[vital halo]

Yep just the work itself is far more cost than the material value even high quality.

[tall hollow]

Oh, I know

I have a CNC mill, and it is a lot of work to make one part

Especially if it’s machined from a solid block

[austere creek]

but in general normal consumers dont seem to understand that designing, paying people, paying the machine time, electricity for machine and design equipment etc also costs money

not to mention marketing, storing, shipping to the warehouse

[tall hollow]

Tooling too

[vast pumice]

where do you buy a wooting

[austere creek]

oh ya tooling can be expensive af

[vast pumice]

i mean the tofu

[tall hollow]

Tooling can be super expensive

[vast pumice]

i need tofu60 white

[tall hollow]

Kbdfans

[austere creek]

probably only second hand unless some dealers found old stock

[vast pumice]

does anyone know one selling for under $250

[austere creek]

https://kbdfans.com/products/kbdfans-tofu-60-aluminum-case

they did find stock

interesting

[tall hollow]

50 dollar end mill anyone?

[vast pumice]

does it come for white

[tall hollow]

Or a 600 dollar vice?

[austere creek]

i mean thats a cheaper one... there some for heavy jobs costing hundreds themselves

and having like 20 carbide inserts

[tall hollow]

Oh yeah, my carbide tooling costs in the hundreds

[vital halo]

Yep usually from 2 local artisan places i found around where i live they say on their website.
Price depend of 2 things - the type of machine needed for the work & ofc each apply a cost per hour and its not the same.

[austere creek]

but ya theres a good reason injected parts are cheaper

by a lot

[tall hollow]

Indeed

Only need to cover the cost of the tooling, after that raw materials and labor isn’t much.

[austere creek]

ya cause it basically runs itself. and better yet depending on part size you can make multiple per second

[tall hollow]

Tooling is the most expensive part of injection molds.

[vital halo]

also the coating/paint

[tall hollow]

Lekker stems

[austere creek]

ya opening one is rather expensive if its a bigger part like a case

[tall hollow]

E-coatings are easy to do.

[austere creek]

or UWU case ;P

[vital halo]

yeah and more cost effective

but adds to the total cost

[tall hollow]

Wait, the keypad case is injection molded!!??

Yo?

[austere creek]

all our plastics are

except brass case ofc

[tall hollow]

Well, makes sense

[tall hollow]

Yeah

[austere creek]

if we wouldnt use IM wed have way way higher prices and prob shittier cases

CNCing plastic seems... weird and 3d printing just isnt good enough on the scale we need

[tall hollow]

Well, can’t really injection mold metals, only casting.

[austere creek]

ye and casting also has downsides especially regarding finishes

[tall hollow]

Oh no, Ive machined prototypes in delarin

[austere creek]

well ya but we cant hand everyone delarin cases

[tall hollow]

I just don’t use them

I just use them as an indication of “oh I can make it in the machine”

[tall hollow]

Yeah lmao

[austere creek]

we do get CNC'd stuff for EVT as well

[tall hollow]

Y’all got a mill in your office?

Or you get someone to do it for you?

[austere creek]

idk where they come from

[tall hollow]

Lmao

[austere creek]

they just arrive usually

lol

[bronze grove]

We have very good partners in China.

[austere creek]

ah

mansen knows

[vast pumice]

i just got my gmk minimal 2 keycaps in white
now i just need a stabilizer mod and case

[bronze grove]

They manufacture them, do some initial QC and documentation and then ship it to us for further looking at.

[tall hollow]

I see, yeah cnc mills can be expensive and do require a lot of attention.

[austere creek]

could always get interns to do it with hand tools

( that was a joke for clarification )

[vital halo]

I imagine for the amount a batch represent, it only make sense it comes from there

[tall hollow]

Manual milling? Hmmmm

[austere creek]

hand saw. hand files

hand drills

[tall hollow]

Lmao

[austere creek]

no electric tools

[bronze grove]

That's certainly one way to learn the products.

[austere creek]

hand etched PCBs

hand soldered

[vital halo]

[tall hollow]

LMAO

[bronze grove]

I'd be totally down for a hand soldered UwU workshop at next Wootup

[tall hollow]

Just use a breadboard at that point

[bronze grove]

[austere creek]

no

just no

the SMD components alone would be a way too hard thing for many

wait its all smd

[tall hollow]

I’m down, I’m a pro at microsoldering

[vast pumice]

what are best springs

[austere creek]

the ones in the switch

or the ones we sell

cause in the switch is 60cN end force and the ones we sell are 45cN end force

[tall hollow]

I’ve replaced nand chips, BGA CPUs, and soldered on RAM.

Making a macropad should be easy.

[austere creek]

i guess we found someone to replace all the broken FB1 components on 60HEs

[bronze grove]

[vast pumice]

anyone know where i can get the old tofu

[austere creek]

scroll up a bit i linked it

[tall hollow]

Well unfortunately I don’t live in the Netherlands.

[austere creek]

thats ok we pay for shipping you over. just make sure you fit in DHLs/DPDs biggest box

[tall hollow]

Lmaooooo

[bronze grove]

[austere creek]

but no would be cool if at some point in the future we could repair some of the PCBs

[tall hollow]

I’m assuming wooting has 3D printers at least

[austere creek]

cause usually its a cheap component that breaks making hundreds of euros in PCBs worthless

[tall hollow]

Mhm

[tall hollow]

What’s with you and this blob?

[bronze grove]

You mean four servers worth of emojis?

[vast pumice]

on the kbdfans website its discontinued do you still think i can get the tofu in white

[tall hollow]

Lmao

[bronze grove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-GfF80wdA8

[tall hollow]

I have a lot of emojis

[vast pumice]

@bronze grove

[bronze grove]

?

[vast pumice]

.

[bronze grove]

Ask KBDfans? Do I look like a reseller? 😄

[austere creek]

i mean sometimes they find stock somewhere

[tall hollow]

I’m so tempted to cnc mill the wooting alu case

[austere creek]

but its not produced anymore so

itll be hard to find new

[tall hollow]

All I need is a STEP file

[austere creek]

we share our 3d files

[vast pumice]

masen one more thing

[austere creek]

https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-design

[tall hollow]

Of the alu case?

[austere creek]

na u can just make the current one in alu

[vast pumice]

how long does the keyboard lube last

[austere creek]

im unsure if the alu case will also be shared

probably years

[bronze grove]

A decade or longer.

[tall hollow]

Broooo, that’s so hard. There’s a lot of things that would have to be modified to be able to be milled on a 3 axis mill.

[austere creek]

if u spill smth u might need to relube the affected keys

i mean our alu case isnt much better

it also has lots of standoffs etc

[vast pumice]

also whats the best all white cable mod

that can use rapid trigger

[tall hollow]

That’s not that hard to get around

But the angled chin and whatnot

[bronze grove]

Buy a pro cable and find out.

[tall hollow]

And that strap extension

[austere creek]

easy just fill it in

[bronze grove]

all cables should work. But not necessarily while having BOTH Tachyon AND high LED brightness on at the same time.

[tall hollow]

Or just, get rid of it

[austere creek]

or that

[tall hollow]

Milling that wooting logo that’s on the bottom on the case would be cool though

It will add extra time but it would look awesome

[bronze grove]

[tall hollow]

I have tiny tooling so it shouldn’t look too bad.

[vast pumice]

which one

[tall hollow]

0.125 inch diameter curve on the corners.

[bronze grove]

Whichever you prefer.

[vast pumice]

ok

[vital halo]

Damn you went for the important question

[vital halo]

if you living in EU there seem to be one website still selling some but only white.

[lunar iris]

anyone have any 60% case recs? white or grey preferably

[normal schooner]

check the pinned tab

[bronze grove]

[limpid crown]

I have an ANSI Wooting.

I know that the supported language is OS related

Does wooting sells spanish keycaps (like letter Ñ) ?

I would like to have an ANSI keyboard with keycap Ñ

[bronze grove]

We only sell them in ISO. So you'd have to mix together two keycap sets.

[sand yarrow]

Hello, just purchased the 60he but having a tough time finding a reasonably priced aluminum case. Does anyone have experience with the Baka60?

[edgy nexus]

Last thursday

So that would be the 13th

[limpid crown]

ok thanks!

[strong needle]

is it possible to customize the larger wooting keyboard (wooting 2 HE)

[austere cradle]

yes

no shidaaddle

[austere cradle]

hey man is there one for uk?

[edgy tide]

hey everyone

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1445847031/resin-amboyna-burl-keyboard-case-60

will this work

[bronze grove]

No.

[edgy tide]

i contacted the seller he said yes

but wanted to make sure

[bronze grove]

Unless he can magically remove some of those standoffs, I wouldn't risk it.

https://imgur.com/gallery/BxUK22l Anything in addition to the five standoffs we use is a very real risk of poking and killing a component on the PCB.

[tough scroll]

Was gonna but a tofu 2.0 case but just read they dont work for the wooting damn

[bronze grove]

Indeed.

[tough scroll]

I think tofu cases are out of stock

[bronze grove]

Out of production.

They're doing the 2.0 now for their own PCB design.

[tough scroll]

Ah Rip.

Im gonna have to somehow get one a black one I guess from someone.

[bronze grove]

If only some kind of keyboard company would make a case.

[tough scroll]

Really want a tofu case

[bronze grove]

[tacit hearth]

hurry up, thanks :^)

[edgy tide]

thanks for looking out

u guys dropping the case next month?

[shell geode]

No date right now, as we've all been waiting too

[edgy tide]

they did say may

"aim"

[shell geode]

Yeah, aiming, but not final yet

[tough scroll]

Hoping for a plain black tofu look alike then

[spiral aspen]

Has anybody tried modding the 60HE to be more silent? If so, what sort of mods did you do? (e.g. changed foam, case-swap, tape-mod)?

[tall hollow]

Taping the switches themselves

Also applying gasket maker to various places of the switch

Although those are pretty extreme modifications

And they come at the sacrifice to feel.

[spiral aspen]

I was hoping for something easier lol

I guess my goal is to make the keyboard slightly more silent than stock. The extreme mods seem like it'd make it super silent

[tall hollow]

It does make it very silent

Although some very basic dampening at the switch level that you can do is switch pads and pe foam. Although your mileage may vary.

[spiral aspen]

Have you taped the switched and applied gasket maker to your switches? Do you have a guide I can reference if I choose to go that route?

[spiral aspen]

Lol also just realized you're in the KFA discord - are you planning on case swapping to a FB60?

[tall hollow]

Ofc

Whenever that ships out

[junior glen]

whats are the 2 holes on the top side for?

[edgy nexus]

Check out the klippe

[edgy nexus]

Been told this summer

[tough scroll]

it works for the wooting?

Black is also out of stock

rip

[vital halo]

yes

[jaunty rover]

Hey does anyone know of any cases that fit the Wooting 2 HE? I just got mine and want to try customising it

[shell geode]

Unfortunately, there are not unless you design and mill your own

You're not the only one: https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/comments/120js2r/wooting_2_he_mods_and_cases/

[jaunty rover]

That's unfortunate, well I don't have access to a milling machine so I'll just have to get a bit creative

[edgy tide]

are there anytest comparing coiled vs og wooting cable?

like if theres latency etc

[devout haven]

@normal schooner Any chance you Woothelpers got Mod capabilities? Or do we have to pull in Mark for this one

[twin citrus]

does anyone know what unscrewer this is
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igy_n3f7VeI&ab_channel=BadSeedTech

[edgy nexus]

I bought grey

Its a dark grey and it fits the wooting

[edgy nexus]

Lmk when you find it out pls

[twin citrus]

what case?

tofu60?

[edgy nexus]

Looks like it

[opal gust]

yep its tofu60

[twin citrus]

where’d u buy?

they outta stock everywhere

[spiral aspen]

Thanks for the links. I'll look into it while I'm waiting for my alu case to come in

[untold wigeon]

Are the stabs non metal on the wooting?

[hot quiver]

Is it worth changing the stabs? Or the stocks one already good

[untold wigeon]

I have some extra ones and they were not working well

https://www.amazon.ca/DUROCK-Transparent-Stabilizer-Gold-Plated-Stabilizers/dp/B09TFH2Q4S

Stock ones are good. I changed mine to the FL CMMK v3s and I like them a lot (even tho they’re currently unlubed)

[opal gust]

someone selling to me

[shell geode]

Since it fits a DZ60, it should fit the 60he too

[pale aspen]

thank you

seller told me it is tofu60

but it is clearly is not lol

paid $40

[shell geode]

haha, definitely isn't, its much more shallow, edges are rounded, and there is no cavity, but the standoffs look like where they should be

[south nacelle]

https://paramountkeeb.com/products/paramount-keeb-60-aluminium-case
anyone know if this case would cause any issues with the 60he due to it not having any middle mounting posts?

[bronze grove]

Without better top down photos I can't promise anything.

[south nacelle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3xgBfbhXsQ&t=234s

that guy shows it around 1:25

looks like theres only 4 mounting posts, 2 on right and 2 on left

[bronze grove]

Looks safe to use. Can't comment on what the missing spacebar mount point will do for how it feels to push down on though.

[thorny glade]

actually wooting's own ABS case does not have a middle screw post also

while i m waiting for my baka60 as well, i m currently using a PSD60, and i didnt not place the screw near the spacebar (coz it makes the spacebar lower on the right side)

so far no issues, very stable

[bronze grove]

You're confusing things. This doesn't have the center standoff near the spacebar either.

Our PCB allows for cases with the center, center standoff though. There's a gap in the PCB.

[thorny glade]

yeah, but the guy was asking because there's an absence of middle screw post on the baka60

[bronze grove]

Yes... on SPACEBAR 😄

One less than stock 60HE case.

[thorny glade]

yeah exactly, which is why i also mentioned that I removed the spacebar screw

[thorny glade]

i am currently using 2 left 2 right screws exactly

haha

[bronze grove]

👍

[thorny glade]

alls good man

[quaint notch]

Tofu60 has a working middle screw

[orchid meadow]

Has anyone tried something like these these on the 60 he? https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802996397441.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt&_randl_shipto=US

[vital halo]

I believe in the last video of bad seed tech he said it does not workout with wooting switches.
I could be wrong, if someone can correct me if that isn't the case.

[orchid meadow]

I know that the "switch films" don't work without a bit of modification, but I think that these could work. I tried adding some pieces of bandaid between the switch and the plate for my spacebar and it made a large difference, just want a cleaner solution.

[tardy cove]

I have not tried anything like what you linked so this is just my two cents. But the Lekker switches fit pretty snug in the plate already. Extra material might prevent them from snapping in completely. And I know the PCB has pretty tight tolerances when reading the switches so you could potentially displace the switch enough to make them fire incorrectly. @orchid meadow

[haughty delta]

These will work, but they may make the rapid trigger feature act wonky, especially if you use really low numbers (.15), because they introduce extra distance between the bottom of the switch and the PCB that reads the magnet position

[smoky pine]

Is there any ETA for pcb+switches+plate only bundle to put it in a custom case?

[bronze grove]

Not more specific than summer

[smoky pine]

Thanks :)

[pale aspen]

did you guy consider Alu plate?

[twin citrus]

i'm tryna buy the tofu60 but they're outta stock everywhere (black), anywhere know where i can buy or know an alternative?

[bronze grove]

For what reason?

[edgy nexus]

Bruh its 60$

[edgy nexus]

A few ppl have it

With their wooting

[haughty delta]

Check maxgaming

I think they still have Tofu60s in stock

Otherwise there's a list of compatible cases pinned in the chat

Lmfao

Thats lowkey genius

[edgy nexus]

Is that a klippe?

[dark saddle]

No idea, saw it on reddit

Also this

[steep needle]

Thats not a Klippe, Klippe has 6 total standoffs, with 2 removable standoffs in the middle that are a different colour.

[light hound]

Modded my wooting with a tofu60 and some morse-code varmilo keycaps. And of course all switches lubed with 205g0

[marble shuttle]

people buying this case only 40 bucks in my country 200 dolar only kit lmao

[sand yarrow]

Lmk how that baka turns out. I think I'm gonna rock the stock case for now since almost every other 3rd party case is either sold out or over $100.

[static tendon]

To confirm the stock wooting case doesn’t have those 2 stand offs? I thought only the middle one wasn’t present

[marsh juniper]

Stock 60he case STL files from wooting Github
https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-design

[static tendon]

So it does have the lower right middle screw

The center one isn’t there though

[marsh juniper]

i believe the center is for other custom cases design and
Heavy Lifting On the believing part so would work with third party standerds

Pink = small parts screws rgb hall effect etc

image of what you circled
just a reminder that these are rough inports as not the most accrute

[bronze grove]

60HE has two on the left, two on the right and one offset to the right of center for spacebar. The center one CAN be present, since we accounted for it by having a gap in the PCB.

[marsh juniper]

? thoses ?

[bronze grove]

yes

[tall hollow]

I hate STL I FUCKING hate it

[iron jacinth]

So since I looked into various plate materials I want to provide some findings: Titanium and carbon plates both exist, with carbon being widespread. However, both actually may provide quite a lot of flex. If any aluminium plate is too flexible, brass may become an option as brass is more sturdy.

I am considering to have one made for me. In that case i'd be curious. Is the tray mount a design choice to ensure the PCB does not flex or is there a way to explore other mounting methods with a custom plate?

[tall hollow]

the way the pcb and plate were designed was to ensure ZERO flex

because flex adds unwanted variances to the distances between the hall sensors on the PCB and the switches on the plate.

[marsh juniper]

There you go i imported Stp file into blender so better aleigned than my guss where it went
Down side 361 files i need to group
hall sesnsor / IC / screws Etc

[tall hollow]

oof

in most CAD softwares you can group select and group them that way

no need to constrain each individual object.

[tacit solar]

@edgy nexus @twin citrus That's the xiaomi wowstick screwdriver 🙂

[iron jacinth]

Alright, so whatever the plate will be made out of, the thing should mirror the plate design already in place

[tall hollow]

yeah

[hallow socket]

[tall hollow]

2.0 will not work, its not tray mount

and it has a center USB port

[fading holly]

I stripped a screw hole of my Klippe T. I think I can still fix it by using a longer screw than the standard ones. anyone with a similar issue have a suggestion for a screw replacement?

[tall hollow]

thats rough

uhh, nothing you can really do about a stripped screw.

[fading holly]

not a stripped screw. it's one of the holes that's partly stripped.

[tall hollow]

yeah, those threads arent coming back

but maybe you can buff it out with an M2 screw.

[fading holly]

that's what I'm thinking.

mekanisk is stating they are using m2x5 screws.

I have a few m2x8 and m2x10s on the way...

[tall hollow]

any M2 screw would work

although the ideal way to buff it out is to use an M2 tap

[fading holly]

hm... you have any suggestions for a good tap kit?

[tall hollow]

not really, as long as it uses high carbon tool steel it should be fine.

or carbide even so you can tap steel.

but thats more expensive.

[fading holly]

alright. I'll take a look around, thx!

[fast anvil]

is anyone using a wrist rest that isnt the silicone one?

[haughty delta]

I used m2x8s on my tofu build and they work really well for burger mounting, you can fit two o-rings on either side of the PCB for extra squish

[fading holly]

That's what I was trying to do with the original screws. I should have gotten longer screws from the get go but it's good to know that m2x8s will work for burger mounts.

[haughty delta]

Yea I found the original screws waaaay too short, no matter what I did I could only get one o-ring on

Hope the m2x8s work for you!

[fading holly]

Exactly my experience. I tried to force it on one screw mount and stripped it.

[haughty delta]

[fading holly]

tried using the original screw afterwards on that same hole without the pcb and rings inserted and it still locks in tight so I think I just need longer screws and I'll be fine.

[haughty delta]

Idk how I ever would've made the default ones work lmao

[fading holly]

Yep... I don't know what I was thinking. 😄

Just the first time I tried the burger mount method.

[haughty delta]

Same haha, I just couldn't get those screws to work between the o-rings and the tape mod I did. Couldn't even get them into the holes to start tightening them, just too short 😅

[mental hemlock]

why 4

[mental hemlock]

send me the link please

[haughty delta]

Just more squishy, was trying to aim for a more springy typing feel since the default feel is really stiff

And link to what? Screws or o-rings?

[mental hemlock]

both

Is MaxGaming Trustworthy? Never heard of this site before

[static tendon]

Just curious but I assume your PCB/Plate sits up a lot higher than usual with this burger mount method?

[haughty delta]

A friend and I have both ordered Lamzu mice from them without issue.

And it doesn't sit much higher, maybe a millimeter or two

[static tendon]

I just now burger mounted my ducky mecha keyboard and really didn't like the higher feel. I ended up taking everything apart again and taking off the silicone burger mount rubber pieces

Back to the OG non-burger mount keyboard feel. I can see it's popularity though. It does help with sound/feel a bit

[crisp granite]

yes they're reputable! They've been carrying the latest drops for kbm stuff.
They're based in Sweden btw, so something to consider with shipping depending on your location.

[static tendon]

Haha I used the exact same o rings

[static tendon]

Sounds good. Sweden will be quite some ways from me so It's unlikely I'd order from there. Gonna have to check the shipping fee

Honestly it's not that bad. It shows at 20$ to ship here

Darn but the PSD60 is literally less than half the price

[mental hemlock]

Do it.

[edgy nexus]

@shell geode getting my case on the 28th

It just got picked up in china

[rigid siren]

Does anyone have the freebird60 case?

[finite sapphire]

whats some good lube for the wooting keyboard, im new into this whole keyboard modding so I want to do it with good products

also looking for some keycaps and case

[shell geode]

Nice!

PSD60?

[edgy nexus]

Krytox 205g0

[edgy nexus]

Klippe t

[shell geode]

Oh right

[edgy nexus]

Lol cant wait to mod it when it gets here

Got my lube coming in tmr so ill lube my switches

[shell geode]

Yup, there's plenty of mods, and have fun lubing!

[edgy nexus]

Stabs sound fine ngl so ill wait a bit on that
