Floating keyswitch designs changes the acoustics by a lot.

[untold wigeon]

I like the ergonomics better

[tall hollow]

True, some people like their keyboards at a flat angle

Something that normal profile keyboards tend to avoid.

Lmao

All of them have a 3-8 degree incline on them.

It’s nearly impossible to find a flat normal profile keyboard.

[haughty delta]

The Kit Adam is flat by default AND is made of legos

Baka60

[mental hemlock]

wheres @shell geode

[shell geode]

Yo!

[mental hemlock]

hows it going bro

any luck with cable management

[shell geode]

Not yet! Been busy and looking for a better power strip to mount underneath, but I'll post when its mounted!

[river reef]

For people who want tofu case but dont like psd60's logo
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPG2dE8

[mental hemlock]

i cant wait bro, yours is gonna look much better than mine

[shell geode]

Oh wow, it looks like a PSD60 too, with the beveled edges, and available in other colors!

[shell geode]

Haha we'll see!

[river reef]

Yea it used to be only available in white

Happy to see they added more colors

The only complaint about psd60 was the logo

[mental hemlock]

i dont like that it doesnt got sharp corners

[shell geode]

I wanted white at first, got silver, and thought to paint it, but the silver is growing on me

[mental hemlock]

thats why im getting the Klippe when i get some moety

money

[river reef]

Tofu60 is hard to get with it being discontinued

[haughty delta]

AFAIK maxgaming is the only place that still has them

[mental hemlock]

send me the link please

[river reef]

Only in e white tho

https://us.maxgaming.com/us/cases/tofu60-aluminum-case-60-e-white

[haughty delta]

Yea ewhite is pretty much the only one left anywhere

[river reef]

Also I imagine the usb port would be more aligned compared to tofu

[mental hemlock]

why cant they just release it again lol

[haughty delta]

Also yea tofu usb port is wonky

[river reef]

Psd60 and re both have perfectly aligned usb port

[mental hemlock]

that team is suffering from some really bad retardation

sorry not sorry

[haughty delta]

They want to sell the new version with their own PCB

[mental hemlock]

tell them to go fuck themselnes

[haughty delta]

Sure let me text the president really quick

[river reef]

I think its mostly cos tray mount is not as popular anymore?

Everyone moving to gasket mount or some sort

[haughty delta]

Yea that's very true

Gasket is the wave right now

[river reef]

I do see the appeal, the sound of switches is cleaner and more uniform

Tray mount has those dull spots

[mental hemlock]

do you think they'll release a gasket mount wooting

is it safe to wait it ouit

[haughty delta]

I want to try the Mode Envoy, I like the idea of having multiple gaskets of different hardness to change the feel and sound on the fly

[river reef]

I dont think anytime soon

Cos gasket mount is bad on hall effect switches

If you want to you can always gummy ring mount

On baldr60, psd60re and fjell its doable from my own experiment

[mental hemlock]

im basically being forced to buy a 170 dollar case

thats already 350 without any real mods

[river reef]

On these points just stick on some poron foam to support the bottom

And push fit with gummy ring

Works well enough

[small gust]

just got my wooting 60he and retiring the apex pro mini , my only complaint is how flat it is can any one recommend a 60% keyboard case with a 9-11 degree incline?

[river reef]

Idk about 9-11 degree

But fjell is 8 degree

And thats already feeling uncomfortable

[small gust]

that might work I only say 9-11 cause that is the incline of my last two keyboards at max height

[river reef]

There is a easier way

Buy higher rubber feet and stick it on the bottom of the case

[small gust]

that is also a great option thank you!

[river reef]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMmPdKG

[haughty delta]

Get yourself a custom fabricated one

[river reef]

Get double sided tape and tape it on

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrm1Mkk

Theres this too

Height adjustable

[mental hemlock]

uhly

[river reef]

I imagine it would go higher than 11 degrees lmao

[haughty delta]

25 degree typing angle

[real island]

Anyone know what’s a good silicon case that has rgb for the wooting 60he? tryna do a case swap still thinking bout keys

[shell geode]

Hm, would be nice for when I'm not at home

[edgy nexus]

My klippe just cost me 75$ in VAT😭

[quiet bay]

welcome to the mekanisk buying experience

and taxing experience

[bright nest]

Hey @shell geode, I saw you had a Baka60 and I was thinking of getting one for my wooting60he. Would you recommend it? Also, from the pictures it looks like there’s no standoff near space bar at the bottom, is that an issue?

My only other option is the klippe and it would cost more then the actual wooting

[shell geode]

Hey! For $50 and an alu case, definitely recommend. In regards not having middle standoffs, as long as you have foam or some sort of filling between the case and pcb, you will be fine. The metal plate is sturdy enough to handle any flex, and you'd have to be a pretty heavy type to even cause said flex. Since it's cheaper than most, I figured why not go for it 👍

[static tendon]

Anyone know where I can potentially find more renders on this case?

[bright nest]

Thank you for the reply! I plan on using zip n fit and reusing the wooting foam as well as tape mod and burger mount! I've never modded a keyboard but it doesn't seem too difficult

[shell geode]

Nothing other than the photos we've seen, they haven't released any files on the alu case on their GitHub yet

Now we wait 🙏

If anyone is curious to try their own pour on their case, test with a cup of water to see how much volume you'll need before you pour. The PSD60 requires a total 120ml mixture to fill up the cavity, to just below the standoff edges 👍

[tawny ice]

custom frog mini conversion plate

[river reef]

I think I used about 100ml and the pcb components didnt touch anything

Might wanna open up and see if silicone has any mark on it after install

My baldr60 had marks on it and I ended up cutting out those so it doesnt press against the ic and stuff

[shell geode]

Did you do the tape mod on your pcb? And can you clarify what you mean by marks?

[river reef]

No tape mod

Like marks of ic pressed against the silicone

It will leave marks on it

[shell geode]

Oh okay got it

[river reef]

Thats how you know too much silicone is in the case

[foggy pilot]

wooting 60he rebuild.
frog mini (re-anodizing)
Gmk Dualshot r2

[shell geode]

Awesome build!! Great work on the plate. Only thing left that is Wooting is the pcb and switches 😆

@static tendon This was linked earlier, it's a low profile that you may be interested in: https://meckeyalpha.com/products/caallp

[shell geode]

Definitely not difficult at all! There's plenty of resources everywhere, and it's a pretty supportive community to be in. The only fear is how deep into the rabbit hole you'll go 😆

That's cheap! But ain't no way I'm gonna wait until June 26 to deliver 😆

[static tendon]

Yeah I used to own one. Didn’t like it so I returned it 🤷‍♂️ hoping the official wooting aluminum case is better

[mental hemlock]

whats up kosmos and gewalt

[shell geode]

Also, taking a closer look at the Wooting alu case, I would bet money that this is not a low profile case at all. The walls look to be around 3 times the height of the right standoff, so there's no way the wall is going to sit flush with the PCB and plate. There's also that thread in the bottom standoff and its not up to the height of the wall either. Perhaps a side view of the alu case would be more telling

[static tendon]

This is beautiful. So you used a frog mini with a gasket mount aluminum plate? Looks like you got plate mount stab compatibility there too. Was this all fully custom made?

[static tendon]

Yeah it doesn’t exactly appear fully low profile but it also doesn’t exactly seem to match a high profile. It’s like sorta in between in a way from the looks of it

[shell geode]

You're right, it looks somewhere in between. Hope this is a height you're down with!

[foggy pilot]

yes I made it. also apply countersink(3.5mm) for standoff.
standoffs are Kbdfans M2-3

[static tendon]

You know I think I’m down for either. The reason I don’t like the gh60 is because it’s flush with the PCB. It looks cheap. I have a ducky mecha case right now and it sits a little higher than a full low profile

Kinda tough to tell but it also has a much nicer design and weight to it. Also has more of a typing angle compared to the cheap feeling low profile g60 case

[mental hemlock]

thats why im worried about the psd 60, i want a pretty lowboy

[static tendon]

So I did the measurements and the the psd60 sits almost identical to my gk61 keyboard

Which is negligible in typing angle in comparison to my ducky mecha case

[shell geode]

I have the gh60 too, it does sit flush as you said and I'm also not a big fan, as the sound escapes on the sides and not contained due to lack of any lip.

[static tendon]

Yesss that too. The sound, the typing angle, design, weight. I just didn’t like it. Even though the ducky sits at my preferred height the sound won’t ever match a high profile case

[mental hemlock]

high profile meaning what

please show me a picture

[static tendon]

I’m planning to re-use my ducky case once I get a wooting 60HE bare bones package. Once I see the release of the official wooting case I’ll likely get that or stick to the PSD60 case. All I can do is wait in the meantime

[static tendon]

Yeah hold up

[static tendon]

See the difference in both these cases? One has like this “floating” key cap style and the other has a fully covered switch. The one on the right is a high profile case and the one on the left is a low profile case

[mental hemlock]

damn

so is the psd 60 high or low

[static tendon]

So the PSD60 the very common upgrade customers appear to get here, that would be a high profile - PSD60

[mental hemlock]

awesome

[static tendon]

Tofu case is also high profile, in fact most the case upgrades people get are high profile cases since they are usually more “Premium”

[mental hemlock]

they look much better too

the klippe t is as well righjt

[static tendon]

As another example, here is a comparison from the front of both the cases - left is low profile. Right is high profile

[static tendon]

Correct

[mental hemlock]

would you consider the klippe t to be the best case you can buy for the wooting

[shell geode]

My first choice would have been the Tofu60 at $88, but since that is not happening, PSD60 at $58 will do

[shell geode]

Mmm, best is subjective. Everyone has a preference

[mental hemlock]

well i say that because of the hollowness of the PSD60

[static tendon]

Because I don’t like the typing angle of Klippe I wouldn’t get it for that reason alone. I hear it’s one of the more premium options to choose from though. I’d personally stick to the PSD60 or the Freebird60 but the PSD60 is great price at 60$ in comparison to those other cases

[static tendon]

Yeah it does sound a bit hollow but I think most cases will sound hallow regardless due to the design of the wooting 60HE PCB/Plate unless you add some hefty mods to the keyboard

[dark saddle]

Meanwhile,. full size owners left out in the cold.

[shell geode]

The Baka60, however, doesn't sound hollow, which makes sense, because the walls are super thin

[bronze grove]

Yes well... You tell the collective custom keyboard community to start making a commonly shared PCB standard.

Then you might see some interchangeable cases.

[static tendon]

Mansen, assuming you use the wooting 60HE, what case are you currently using? The original?

[dark saddle]

He's gone Commodore

[shell geode]

@bronze grove Would you be able to know when the stp file for the alu case will be on Wooting's GitHub?

[bronze grove]

When it releases I imagine.

[mental hemlock]

why doesnt someone just go crazy and fully fabricate a nice case and plate

seems to be the outstanding "issues" people run into

[bronze grove]

Someone just showed off a plate further up

[bronze grove]

I use a B Box case.

[static tendon]

Interesting. First time I’ve heard of that case

Oh nice! Is it fully aluminum as well? Must be quite hefty of a case

[bronze grove]

It's plastic.

[dark saddle]

It's paper matche

lol

[static tendon]

Oh I see

[dark saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/jerry-paper-gif-20003031

[bronze grove]

The look depends on my mood.

[shell geode]

Uploaded an hour ago: #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[dark saddle]

It wouldn't be a problem if the default case wasn't so cheap. 😛

[mental hemlock]

another one

[static tendon]

Is that stuffing inside the case?

[dark saddle]

It doubles a bong

[mental hemlock]

what moods are these

[bronze grove]

Lots of pillow stuffing, yes. Easier to cram into it than foams.

[static tendon]

😮

[bronze grove]

Like typing on fluffy clouds.

[shell geode]

Silicone pour, perhaps? 🤔

[bronze grove]

Definitely possible. Not as fun or unique as pillow fluff though. Also the case slides together from five pieces, so the silicone would likely leak out before it cures.

[crisp cosmos]

is this available for sale somewhere? 👀

[bronze grove]

Soon™️

[crisp cosmos]

Im about to jump off my window

somebody stop me

[dark saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/the-mask-jim-carrey-stop-me-somebody-help-gif-9918476

[dark saddle]

You know I wonder if it's possible for someone to make it even easier to take keycaps on and off...some kind of like frame

I mean the switches are all generally in the same location

If they had some kind of interconnected frame between keycaps

Push all on at once, all off at once

#LazyLifeIdeas

[stone monolith]

does almost all keycaps work on the wooting 60he?

[bronze grove]

Yes.

The most important thing to keep note of is ANSI vs ISO

Also make sure the bottom row matches up. 6.25u sized spacebar and the modifier keys (CTRL, ALT and so on) have to be all the same size as each other.

[stone monolith]

do you think those would work good?

[bronze grove]

If your 60HE is ANSI? Yep.

[stone monolith]

ah shit, i have iso

[bronze grove]

Then that set is no bueno. You'll miss the keys shown in red in the example further up.

[stone monolith]

so ill have to get my hands on iso keycaps? :)

[bronze grove]

Yep! Or an ANSI set that has ISO keycaps on the side.

[stone monolith]

okay thank you

will you ever get those in stock again?
https://next.wooting.io/product/blank-double-shot-backlit-pbt-keycap-set-mint-carbon-inverse

[bronze grove]

Nope. We're moving away from using third party keycaps in favour of our own. 🙂

Though we don't have any plans to do a black/mint set for the time being.

[stone monolith]

damn, i loved those colors 😔

[mint juniper]

Hey, I recently modded my 60he (all went fine) but I have a question about lubing the switches. This was the first time i modded a keyboard/ lubed switches.
After 2 weeks or so the keys i use the most have clearly changed in sound/need to be re-lubed.
Is it normal to re-lube or did I use too little lube the first time?

[austere creek]

lubing doesnt really just go away

[mint juniper]

Is it supposed to be a white layer? I followed the wooting video but couldn't see it that well. Taeha Types did a vid on lubing and he stated that the white from the krytox shouldn't be visible after putting it on

https://youtu.be/44Wv4OGdmu4?t=230

[austere creek]

correct

as mentioned in our lubing video you dont want to apply it too thick

[mint juniper]

could it be the difference in position of the switches? for example my 7-9 keys are "thockier" than my z-c keys

[bronze grove]

I disagree with Taeha there. But I also happen to like a bit thicker feeling. I like it just barely visible. Like you put milk on it.

[mint juniper]

could it be that the krytox somehow separates? i found that the top layer when i opened my krytox was more see through. maybe i just applied condensation water or smth

[austere creek]

you need to stir freshly opened lube

[mint juniper]

that explains a lot

[austere creek]

its not condensation water but separated ingredients

[mint juniper]

ok thank you for the help

[worldly phoenix]

Will this case fit?

[pallid bay]

wont fit

[worldly phoenix]

Oh

[pallid bay]

tofu 2.0 has the usb be in the centre, wooting has it in on the lefthandside

theres a spreadsheet of approved cases for modding but i dont have the link

[worldly phoenix]

Ah

So I have to wait for tofu 60

To be in stock

[bronze grove]

Won't happen.

[worldly phoenix]

oh

[bronze grove]

Out of production for good, because they're working on their new case (funny how that works 😄 )

[worldly phoenix]

ah

Alternatives exist - And we're also bringing a case to market (by summer hopefully?)

[pallid bay]

is the new case similar to the tofu? or are you not allowed to talk about it yet

[worldly phoenix]

I need a recommendation

[bronze grove]

See pins.

[pallid bay]

oh thats sick as

[royal mist]

[stray tiger]

The 60HE is always 1000hz. Tachyon changes scan rate not polling rate. Tachyon improves on the scanning rate (four are scanned in parallel) and keeps the polling rate untouched. RGB effects are disabled when Tachyon is enabled because RGB effects cost processing time and so add latency and inconsistency.

[mellow cove]

Tofu60, Lubed Stems with 205g0 and stock springs with GPL 105, 3rd party Tofu60 low profile feet, 3rd party Foam, 3 layers of tempest mod, burger mount o-rings on all stands - high pitched clack without hollow sound with less stiffer typing (GMK Monokai for caps if anyone interested)

[somber scroll]

Sound test?

[normal schooner]

this guy codes

im missing cherry pick

[mellow cove]

I dont have propper audio setup for the sound test, sure I could just shoot it on iphone14pro but still, you have to have specific setup if you want the most precise sound test

[marsh juniper]

has any one posted a custom case for Wooting Two HE ?
tried to discord search it but all results seem to be asking if there is one or to buy one ?
was wondering if i could use it for reference

[marsh juniper]

using that as a reference for design just curious if any one has attempted want to see how they how it look or went

[austere creek]

afaik no but these are the files we used for production

so unless the machining fails or tolerances arent kept it should work

[junior glen]

How does the quality of cable effects, tacyon mode/ rapid trigger?

[marsh juniper]

ahh thanks for the answer i am just playing around with the concept atm
trying to make a design that would work with milling hence the more rounded areas

[marsh juniper]

voltage drops from resistance of
bad quality metals
length too long
can effect how stable the keyboard and in effect tachyon mode or sensing analog if voltage is now stable

[junior glen]

I ordered something shorter than whats provided, hopefully that makes up the potential poor bad quality metal :p

[mellow cove]

Scuffed iPhone14 shot, not accurate and I have to paint my back wall but here ya go

This is what I got, I made sure theres no coil

[austere creek]

aliexpress makes me worried though

[junior glen]

I'll be the guinea pig to try it out 😩

I'll update you guys once I get it

[static tendon]

Why is that? I’m assuming due to shipping time?

[austere creek]

no more that you buy from a factory directly OR from a random chinese seller. so there is virtually no quality guarantee or consistency

[mellow cove]

This is with desk mat

[austere creek]

its as if ebay and amazon had a child but worse

[static tendon]

Is anyone able to confirm if the wooting 60HE comes with plate foam between the plate and PCB?

[mellow cove]

it does

[marsh juniper]

[bronze grove]

Beat me to it 😄

[static tendon]

Yeah I can agree with that, been making purchases off there for my future wooting keyboard, I got foam, key caps and some other stuff that I have recently received

[dark saddle]

Does the full size as well?

[bronze grove]

Different build design.

[static tendon]

Thanks

[bronze grove]

So yes but also no. Not like the 60HE.

@bronze grove what do you think about my wooting sound profile with the scuffed audio setup ? 😄 first one is without desk mat, second scuffed test is with one

[dark saddle]

So the Two HE got cheaped out. :p

[bronze grove]

No. The 60HE has a very specific design to conform with other 60% cases.

The 2HE doesn't have that problem.

[mellow cove]

really fucking tried to make it clack as fuck, but the steel plate is just whatever man

Also, fuck the original tofu60 feet

[haughty delta]

I have a big deskmat that I got off Amazon that basically covers the entire top of my desk, it's pretty nice

I like the squishier surface and things don't slide around as much

Thats why I bought aftermarket feet 😄 I also used full deskmats

[haughty delta]

Where did you get your aftermarket feet from?

[haughty delta]

I've been digging the Lamzu Energon pad lately. A lot nicer than I expected it to be

[mellow cove]

They are basicly really minimal, the case just barely levitate so it helps with the Tofu60 curve and they are softer

My buddy has an otsu though and it's super nice

[mellow cove]

I use Soft Zero for CS and Valo

Soft Hien for League

And Hayate Otsu Mid for everything else

[modern orchid]

I hope your next keyboard dies too ass wipe

[bronze star]

tbo

it feels pointless to go custom

maybe for a 2nd

[iron bear]

1.8m , 6ft

[bronze star]

100 percent

[modern orchid]

Thank you

[bronze star]

but the 60 he is the best im going to get bc of the switches if i want to play any games lol

[bronze star]

what case are you using :3

yeah

i will get one for coding / stardew lel

what mouse are you using ?

ooh did it arrive

burger mount keys
lube switches
lighter springs
aluminum case
tape mod it
coiled cable
regrease stableizer

these are the mods i was thinking of doing to the 60 he

whenit arrives

nice

i love the shape of my capetown a bit too small tho

[static tendon]

Nice, did you not like the g pro shape as much? I’ve tested the viper for about 3 months and main the g pro

[shell geode]

@untold wigeon @tall hollow Honestly didn't know what to expect, but I think the pour turned out great!

[static tendon]

Looks like you have a mecha mini, are you going to re-use that case for the wooting 60HE?

[bronze star]

not sure it is a mecha mini sf emerald

[static tendon]

Does this pour make your keyboard sit higher?

[bronze star]

will try get a buy for a 60 aluminium case

[static tendon]

Ah yeah you’re right. Didn’t notice the arrow keys initially

[mellow cove]

Ive tried Salvation, Fjell and all of them were better in any way then Tofu60, but if you mod Tofu60 it has the best clack of all of these cases

[shell geode]

I am experimenting filling in with silicone as opposed to foam, to compare the sound and vibration reduction

[mellow cove]

When it comes to Lekker Switch ofc

[bronze star]

i want a tofu 60 cant seem to find one tho

[mellow cove]

So currently using Tofu60 that ive spend like 1 month modding and trying different things

Few weeks ago there were re-stock for Tofu60 on kbd fans

But idk if they ever bring it back

[bronze star]

;-;

[mellow cove]

It was only in e-white to grab

Tofu60 is a fucking trap

[bronze star]

https://kbdfans.com/products/tofu60-2-0

[mellow cove]

If you dont know what are you doing

It sounds and feel like shit

[austere creek]

doesnt work

[bronze star]

fuck

[mellow cove]

tofu60 2.0 is not compatible tho

[shell geode]

Won't fit the 60he, that usb-c is centered

[bronze star]

;-;

[austere creek]

they discontinued the tofu60 for the tofu2.0 while the tofu2.0 doesnt fit basically any board the tofu does

weirdest shit ever

[bronze star]

breh

[mellow cove]

@bronze star https://mekanisk.com/products/fjell-keyboard-case-only?variant=39479903551662

[bronze star]

fuck me 300 usd

[night atlas]

hi does anyone know what plate material 60he is?

[mellow cove]

ive got one

doesnt sound that good

[bronze star]

is the tofu 2.0 too big ? if then i could try grinding it down

[shell geode]

They're trying to market their own pcb, as they should, but they're losing out on additional revenue from the tofu60 1.0

[austere creek]

no it has the usb port in the middle and posts dont match iirc

standoffs*

[mellow cove]

ofc, Tofu60 is piece of shit that you can experiment and play with

[stray tiger]

Different PCB layout support for the 2.0. Its not DZ60/GH60 compliant

[austere creek]

ok but they can do that with the original tofu as well

[bronze star]

:o could work then

[austere creek]

i think getting a different alu case is more worth your time

[bronze star]

eh prolly

i could try a go at building one lel

[shell geode]

They could bring it back, but we don't know if they have changed the tooling for it when they moved forward with the 2.0, and what the cost would be to bring back the tooling for the 1.0

[stray tiger]

There have been a lot of companies willing to continue manufacturing GH60/DZ60 compliant cases (including Wooting!) and a lot of them are better quality than the Tofu60

[bronze star]

for the work put into modding the 2.0

[shell geode]

I agree, it's not worth the work and time to mod the 2.0 the way you want it

[austere creek]

i mean the work would be basically closing the current port hole, drill a new slot, remove all interfering standoffs, attach new ones somehow

all that on alu without ruining the case basically

deffo better to get any other case

[bronze star]

i heard changing the backplate on the wooting keyboards is aids has anyone succeeded?

[austere creek]

backplate?

you mean topplate?

[bronze star]

fuck

sry im dyslexcic

lel

[austere creek]

its easy but theres no compatible ones out there as far as i know

[shell geode]

Right, but easier said than done, unless one of us here is from kbdfans, we don't know how feasible the process is, nor if its even in their plans to bring back production for the 1.0

[mental hemlock]

Klippe T or bust

afternoon Gewalt

[austere creek]

was about modding the 2.0 at home

and the unnecessarily complex work just for an alu case

[shell geode]

Ohhh, that's a lot of work lol

[austere creek]

or not complex just time consuming

[bronze star]

ye might of been fun tho

xD

[austere creek]

its ur choice

id not do it

[bronze star]

prolly wont

[shell geode]

Right, not complex, just the amount of effort and time

[austere creek]

ye

[mental hemlock]

Klippe T is our high quality, clean and affordable keyboard chassis. Borrowing its mounting from the well known Fjell, it has great sound and typing properties. It’s a safe choice when you want a simple design, with great sound and fantastic color options.

[bronze star]

with the amount of effort at time the reward for building my own would be higher

[mental hemlock]

their description

Klippe T Gray shipped to sunny Miami Florida is 169 US dollars

lol

[static tendon]

Any cases you think in particular are better than the tofu60?

That is in a similar price range^

[bronze star]

yeah 300 usd for the fjell is pain

[mental hemlock]

It has to be the PSD 60 right

[shell geode]

Fack

[static tendon]

Absolutely, but have you noticed a higher typing angle after the pour?

[stray tiger]

Klippe T, Mojo60 and KBDFans 5 Degree are all under $150

[shell geode]

Baka60 and PSD60 both under $60

[mental hemlock]

i just told you its at 169

[static tendon]

KBD 5° in white is sold out everywhere unless I’m missing a good site out there?

[stray tiger]

Plus if you're willing to have a custom plate cut there are over 40 top/gasket mount cases that would work

[shell geode]

It's the same as before since I leveled it so it only fills right up to the standoffs, so no change in angle since it's interior fill

[static tendon]

Awesome thanks Tirade for all those suggestions. Super helpful but for my preference so far, the Klippe has a high typing angle, not really a fan of the Mojo60 design. I do like the 5° though

[mental hemlock]

Sound test when

[bronze star]

i might end up using the case from my ducky mecha sf emerald as its dead#

[shell geode]

Tonight! I'm at work and my 60he in the Baka60 is waiting for me at home 🥲

[mental hemlock]

awesome my brother

[shell geode]

Will compare between silicone fill vs sorbothane

[stray tiger]

@static tendon The Klippe and Tofu have a similar typing angle. Like you though, I also prefer a lower typing angle so I dont use them either.

[mental hemlock]

would a higher angle be uncomfortable for both typing and gaming

[stray tiger]

For some people yes, for others maybe not. Higher angle can be mitigated with a wrist rest though

[bronze star]

do you all know if the ducky mecha case is compatible

[static tendon]

Would anyone know where I can purchase a white KBD fans 5° case? I assume it’s fully compatible with the wooting 60 he?

[static tendon]

Yes it is

[bronze star]

this is prolly what i will use

as my ducky is dead

[static tendon]

It fits my dz60 so it should in theory fit into the mecha case.

[mental hemlock]

reddit kosmos

[static tendon]

But if your ducky is a 65% then it won’t fit. It would need to be the 60% version

[bronze star]

ignore the dead body on my desk

fuck

imnot sure

damm

i really love the colour on my mecha case

[stray tiger]

Havent seen any white ones for sale in forever

[bronze star]

its a anodised green/blue cant find anything like it

[static tendon]

I guess I’d also consider a black 5° case but it wouldn’t fit my setup color scheme

[stray tiger]

You can always have a case cerakoted (or try painting it yourself)

[static tendon]

Yeah I’ve painted some stuff in the past. Paint always seems to somewhat chip. I try avoiding it when possible 😂 I think I need to learn to do it better

[bronze star]

i would prolly try a car mod shop for paints

they would have the kit for a good finish

[static tendon]

Didn’t think you could even do that, will have to look into that. Ultimately it would add on more 💵💵💵

[shell geode]

You can clear coat it to protect the color

[bronze star]

tbo it is more cus they have the gear needed to do it good most private shops would be up to do it on the side lol

[static tendon]

I could. Just not a fan of the clear coat look, I would try to match oem paint as much as I can. Like the E white color

[stray tiger]

Im a huge fan of cerakoting and one of the best in the business is a buddy of mine named Jake from p3d - https://p3dstore.com/products/custom-cerakote-services

[mental hemlock]

idk what these people are saying, im a car enthusiast per se and I would get your case powdercoated

[stray tiger]

He even cerakotes acrylic

[mental hemlock]

they work with small stuff like that all the time

[tall hollow]

Nice! That’s excellent!

[bronze star]

thats what i said lol

[shell geode]

Ooo I'm interested!

[mental hemlock]

you said paint

[bronze star]

eh

[mental hemlock]

not powdercoat

[shell geode]

Will debate if $150 if I love my case that much

[stray tiger]

If you email Jake just tell him someone from UTMK sent you to him and he will know 🙂

[bronze star]

waas talking about them doing a job liek that in general

[tall hollow]

Ceramic coating?

[mental hemlock]

will last longer than paint, and is much better and you'll get it cheaper

[bronze star]

ik

[mental hemlock]

most car shops dont do powdercoating tho

[bronze star]

i know a few that do

[mental hemlock]

thats more of a wheel company thing

but the same concept applies i agree with you

[bronze star]

yeah my dad has a freind that works at one

:3

[stray tiger]

@tall hollow check his gallery https://p3dstore.com/pages/cerakote-color-gallery

[mental hemlock]

The only thing you should do at that point is try to find a Klippe for cheap then, most cases already got a color for 99% of people

[bronze star]

yeah i will look for sound firs

[mental hemlock]

and i would paint or powdercoat the plate at that point

[bronze star]

then go from there

[mental hemlock]

idk tirade thats a bit too steep of a price

especially for a keyboard

[tall hollow]

Hmm, what makes this different from other ceramic coating options in my local area?

[mental hemlock]

exactly

[tall hollow]

Just wondering if they offer something special that’s different from the competition.

[stray tiger]

No idea, there are tons of people who do cerakoting. This guy just specializes in keyboard stuff and is very well known in the keeb community.

[mental hemlock]

why would someone go through the hassle of shipping it back and forth unless you're doing a completely custom job

[tall hollow]

I see, I’ll consider.

[tall hollow]

That’s the point of ceramic coatings.

Doing something completely custom.

[bronze star]

could try getting it for cheaper by asking for an unpainted one lol

[tall hollow]

Also as a protective layer for your keyboard (yes there are clear coatings)

[static tendon]

Yeah looks like some amazing work

[tall hollow]

Although most places do it for cars.

But they can coat anything lol

[edgy nexus]

Getting my klippe t tomorrow

[stray tiger]

Cerakoting is super resilient and holds up to handling, scuffs, marks really really well. Ive had a few boards cerakoted by him and all have been top notch

[edgy nexus]

Its at the delivery center rn

[tall hollow]

Yeah, my dad has his car ceramic coated and it’s impossible to scratch.

Even with a key it’s impossible

[stray tiger]

Car parts (usually engine) and guns are the most cerakoted items I believe.

[tall hollow]

Yeah, to avoid abrasion from the pistons.

And the cam shaft

[bronze star]

i defo do

need to make a decision on what tho

i use my wrist to play games ect i dont use my whole arm

idk it feels odd lel im normally alot more accurate with high sens wrist

[static tendon]

Arm aiming gets tiring to constantly sweat to move your arm. I’ve always been somewhat mid sense player

[mental hemlock]

thats why im forced to build my own standing desk, my chair sits just a bit too low, and thats part of the reason i lost feeling in my pinky and ring finger on my right hand for a while

[shell geode]

If you were to make a custom plate for the 60he, what would be the top 3 materials you would want to use?

[mental hemlock]

what an excellent question

what is it currently made out of

[bronze grove]

Steel.

[mental hemlock]

Polycarbonate i would assume

maybe brass

[celest wedge]

brass ,carbon fiber, fr4

[stray tiger]

Stock plate is steel. You want low/no flex in a replacement plate so I would suggest going with brass, aluminum and maybe carbon fiber (but I havent tried CF yet)

[celest wedge]

a cf plate would be amazing

[untold wigeon]

Are there any cases currently available and not out of stock?

[shell geode]

https://paramountkeeb.com/products/paramount-keeb-60-aluminium-case?variant=36131664101537

[untold wigeon]

Need modification or ?

[shell geode]

No modification, you can drop right in, there is no middle standoff, so I would advice laying out foam to fill in the space under the pcb

[untold wigeon]

Oh well..

(France)

[shell geode]

Dang, that's nuts

[shell geode]

PSD60: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801297436744.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.75681eefV58VbS&algo_pvid=fc38de63-3f32-4e56-a207-39d82292aa69&algo_exp_id=fc38de63-3f32-4e56-a207-39d82292aa69-0&pdp_npi=3%40dis!USD!59.8!59.8!!!!!%40211bd8be16825459941777589d07c3!12000016293856925!sea!US!0&curPageLogUid=5RVFzi2hWkSF

[untold wigeon]

I had seen it yes but not a big fan of this one, it's a shame, I'll see to look again

[normal schooner]

look at the pin , we have something cool this year

no release date

[untold wigeon]

I have already done all the notion but most of them are out of stock

Oh, yes i see

[shell geode]

I saw someone post earlier that the Klippe T is gonna take a month or something

[untold wigeon]

Yes if you add on the cart, you notified to wait a month

[static tendon]

Without question, Pom, polycarbonate and FR4 plate

But these materials may interfere with the lekkar switches unfortunately. Aluminum may work. So would brass but I don’t like stiffer typing feels. Make it feel cheap and not as comfortable to type on

[shell geode]

Not sure if these are an option due to the flex they may cause, so no choice but to go with stiffer materials

[static tendon]

Yeah makes sense

[stray tiger]

Here are the stiffness ratings for plate materials if you are thinking of making your own. It's advised you use a very stiff material as you want to avoid the plate flexing and causing erroneous inputs. Please remember that the plate needs to be securely mounted to the PCB with standoffs to ensure the proper distance between the plate and PCB is maintained at all times.

[static tendon]

Thanks, super helpful

Yeah as much as I’m not a fan of brass it may work with the wooting 60HE. I’d love to see someone give it a try

[modern bone]

US $79.00 | GH60 Aluminum Alloy Metal Mechanical Keyboard Case White Black Gray Beige CNC Process Suitable for 61 64 Keyboards
https://a.aliexpress.com/_ms2j8Ta

found this gem

it's on aliexpress but the seller is reputable

i also bought one and it's actually incredibly solid

stock feet are a little tall though but super grippy

[untold wigeon]

Do u have picture ?

[shell geode]

Nice! It seems to be the unbranded PSD60

[untold wigeon]

Very clean, i like that

[modern bone]

ohh that makes sense, it is unfortunately like $10+ more than the PSD60 but at least everything is in stock and it has no logo anywhere

[modern bone]

thanks !

[stray tiger]

@modern bone I dont see a weight mentioned on that listing. Can you weigh yours?

[modern bone]

im in a college dorm so i don't have access to any scales, but holding the keyboard up by myself it feels ~5 pounds

maybe 4 pounds

i haven't added any foams besides stock yet

significantly heavier than the stock case for sure

[stray tiger]

Around 3lbs sounds right with the keys, keycaps and PCB but I was wondering how it compares to something like the Tofu60 (1.67lbs) or the Freebird60 (1.31lbs). A lot of the AliExpress cases are not high quality and they skimp on the aluminum resulting in a hollow sounding case.

Nevermind, I found the weight listing online. Its about 1.5lbs so between the 2 I mentioned

[normal schooner]

tirade are you looking for a case

:p

[modern bone]

hmmm my spacebar sounds a little hollow and i haven't had the experience of a tofu60 or a freebird60. but that's with stock foams from the wooting. i have yet to burger mount + add my own sound dampening

[stray tiger]

Hah, my case searching stopped months ago but I still like to try out different ones from time to time just for fun. Really excited for the Wooting case though!

[modern bone]

if i press the keys towards the center of the board i can discern a metallic sound signature if that tells you anything

[normal schooner]

samee

and for the little teaser

well not same but i get your excitement

I have a dope fjell case

[stray tiger]

The last 3 or 4 cases Ive tried are all top/gasket mount that I had plates cut for

[normal schooner]

sheesh nice

[modern bone]

i was looking at a fjell case before i found this aliexpress case, was seriously considering it but i don't really have the monetary means to buy it 💀

huge upgrade coming from two previous plastic case keyboards

[normal schooner]

jammm if I can give you a tip, just wait for the wooting aluminium case. im sure you can afford one by the time it releases

[shell geode]

Same here! An almost $40 price difference for just the logo is good enough for me, plus I don't see the logo anyways

[normal schooner]

fjell isnt worth it

[stray tiger]

The Fjell is one of the best cases you can currently buy but it's not cheap!

[modern bone]

ok thank you!

[normal schooner]

fjell doesnt have a strap attachment

[modern bone]

wooting alum case better have a strap attachment

[normal schooner]

jammm

click the pinned tab

[shell geode]

It feels like in terms of the next case, we are all waiting for the Wooting alu case since it's around the corner 🤞

[shell geode]

It does, check the pinned image

[modern bone]

OH

[normal schooner]

and that gold block is swapable

[modern bone]

wow that looks sick

[normal schooner]

so just keep on rocking the default case for now 😄

[somber scroll]

That looks like a 65%? And has about 35 more standoffs than the baka60

It looks wider. The shot with the pcb in it shows 5 keys to the right of the space bar

Oh that may actually be a 60 I guess

The gk64x looks like 60% size but with arrow keys

But yeah looks similar but with more standoffs

[shell geode]

Oh wow, same profile! But that cavity is huge! Makes room for a huge brass weight to go in there and make it heavy! 🤩

[worldly phoenix]

Is that compatible with wooting or no?

[shell geode]

It is! Here is when I first swapped the case

[worldly phoenix]

Did u make ur space bar more down?

[shell geode]

No, I just flipped it. I like it better when its slanted 🙃

[worldly phoenix]

OH LOL

Ye it look good

I m gonna buy it probably

[shell geode]

Cool! It goes for $50, but if you're international, do check the shipping cost, as it would cost more to ship than the case itself to various countries

Or you can waiting for Wooting's upcoming alu case

[worldly phoenix]

Oh what does it look like or it not leaked

[somber scroll]

There’s a pic in the pinned comments

[worldly phoenix]

I don’t see the pin comment

Ah ok thanks

[shell geode]

It does look nice! Would like to see the weight made from something heavier like tungsten or platinum

[subtle arch]

is it possible to turn the switches so the LEDs are south-facing?

[shell geode]

You can rotate the switches, but the LEDs will remain North-facing, since the LEDs are on the pcb, not the switch

[untold wigeon]

rarely pay import from Ali

[edgy nexus]

@shell geode what do switch film do in a switch?

[shell geode]

Reduces housing wobble, but only necessary if your switches even has a wobble

[edgy nexus]

ahh alright thanks a lot

[mental hemlock]

How sharp are the PSD60s corners

I want a mixture of extremely heavy, and sharp like the Tofu

[covert lily]

Got a set of side printed green gradient keycaps for my 60HE! Wasn’t sure if the south facing legends would be visible since the switches are north facing, but it seems fine to me. Bamboo case is still shipping.

[mental hemlock]

Try flipping a switch to south facing

[covert lily]

Sure, doesn’t make a big difference for the side lit keycaps since it’s shining through the switch either way but here’s what it looks like. The south flipped switch is on the right (the > key)

No keycap interference in either direction, but these keycaps are OEM profile and I think the interference is only and issue if you put cherry profile caps on north facing switches

[somber scroll]

FYI cherry profile works fine on these switches even tho they’re north facing

[covert lily]

Oh nice!

[mental hemlock]

is that the ali express one

its just making me more pissed they discontinued the tofu

ill be the first to say that theyll rerelease it super cheap

and i wanna know how much their new one is selling

[craggy spear]

Acrylic case + cerakey ceramics on the 60he

[shell geode]

Yup!

It's not as noticeable on the recording, but the results from the silicone show that it delivers a higher pitch than the Sorbothane. It still sounds clacky due to the case, but the pitch almost sounds echo-ey. The Sorbothane mutes the pitch, creating a thockier clack and removes the echo. Also excuse the blurry shots, I didn't notice that my camera defocused on the Sorbothane clips 😅

[mental hemlock]

They’re very similar, I think the Sorbothane might be a touch cleaner especially in the larger keys

Did you “tune” your AT2020 in OBS? It sounds great

@shell geode

[shell geode]

Thank you, I did! I followed a simple guide online somewhere a while back

[shell geode]

I agree, as fun as doing the silicone pour was, I'm going to stick to the Sorbothane

[mental hemlock]

We should play something sometime brother

[mental hemlock]

What exactly is sorbothane? Is it a foam? I was thinking of using car damping material

[shell geode]

Yup, it's a dense foam that mutes sound and reduces vibration

[shell geode]

I play Overwatch 2 and Valorant! I play comp on OW2 (currently plat 4 healer main) and mostly swiftplay on Val

[mental hemlock]

i play oberwatch as well, been playing a lot of battlefield 4 tho haha\

[shell geode]

I'm down for Overwatch whenever! 👍

[mental hemlock]

Perfect! my friends would lobe to see the wooting in action

[shell geode]

Don't you have one too??

[mental hemlock]

haha no not yet

preferably i would like to see it become better, but im also broke lol

[dire delta]

Don't have my Wooting in hand rn, can anyone confirm the size of the LShift? (2.25?)

[bronze grove]

Depends on your layout.

[shell geode]

What do you want to see better?

[bronze grove]

60/2HE in ANSI

[dire delta]

Thanks a lot :)

Also super fast response :O

[bronze grove]

Bright and early or something. Just turned on my PC for the day

[mental hemlock]

preferably a custom plate option

good morning mansen

another cruel shift of customer support questions that already got answered at least 376,539 times

[deep hazel]

anyone know if i can case swap wooting with drop carina? https://drop.com/buy/drop-carina-mechanical-keyboard-kit

[hoary iron]

lmk if you get confirmation on this

[bronze grove]

Do keep in mind that you're not going to get remotely similar LED shinethrough through the case.

Our PCB does not shine down.

[hot kayak]

My lekker switches in the actuation machine

[bronze grove]

Ah yes - Switch torture.

I'll call up Geneva at once.

[hot kayak]

At 300k+ actuations it actually makes a difference

The middle one is the switch that didnt get put in the machine

[austere creek]

so basically the spring gets worn out

[hot kayak]

Naw it feels a lot smoother and gets a deeper tone, i switched out the springs for 50g after

[bronze grove]

Both are true. You're wearing the spring out a bit, and that feels "better" to you.

[hot kayak]

But i switched out the spring after it went through the machine

[dark saddle]

https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=39643 Just wanna put this out there that I used this cable as I needed some extra length(I have USB-C ports on my motherboard) and it seems to work just fine

10ft length

Before this I was using a 10ft extension cable + stock cable, and it also seemed fine there, with Tachyon mode

I just decided to use this cable because that seemed overly long regardless.

I figured it was so thicc and supports 100w USB-C PD, it should be enough for anything.

[dark saddle]

Actually what is the best way to test for issues? I'm experiencing something in RE4 Remake, using default typing profile I can't tell if it's just user error but sometimes I stop moving. I feel like it didn't happen on the other cable, but it's so subtle and I can't make it happen on command.

[zinc scroll]

How does it sound tho? 🤔

[covert lily]

Damn that’s nice. I was looking at their red set but the lead time was soooo long haha

[bronze star]

that mouse is sick

[dark saddle]

Yo I just came up with an idea that would make cleaning a keyboard so much easier

Completely skipping the switch pulling segment

So basically the top plate? Have it split down the middle and can be screwed off, pulled off at both ends

That way you can just clean the top plate, then slide it back on and screw in

[bronze grove]

But the keyboard has more than one row of keys?

And having more moving parts would produce more sound.

[dark saddle]

Hmm

https://tenor.com/view/space-dog-gif-9399898

[haughty delta]

What do you mean, I saw that one lady on tiktok run her keyboard under the faucet to clean it and it worked fine after /s

Just hose it down in the back lot, it'll be fine

[dark saddle]

We need a self cleaning keyboard

Like Smarthouse

https://tenor.com/view/magic-cleaning-spilled-milk-disney-harognakoshl-gif-13801802

[haughty delta]

I mean theoretically you could have UV lights inside to kill bacteria or something

[dark saddle]

Oh shit if you made a Keyboard case out of porcelain

Basically a Toilet Keyboard

😛

[haughty delta]

Lmaooo

[dark saddle]

The accoustics!

And easy to clean.

Also kills germs.

[haughty delta]

BRB gonna go drop an IC on r/mechmarket

[austere creek]

our next idea was actually to include some small layer of nutrition at the bottom so it acts like a petri dish

[haughty delta]

Hell yea moldboard

[dark saddle]

Free Penacilin!

[haughty delta]

Now I'm imagining it in a clear bottomed case so you can see the mold spread

[dark saddle]

OH MY GOD

Grass

Plant some grass

"Touch grass"

I AM!

[haughty delta]

You could add aritificial turf to your keyboard haha

[dark saddle]

Yeah

[dusky kiln]

Hello everyone! :3
I've literally just received my wooting60he (and i'm already in love with it), i had been looking for a metal case for a while now but the well known tofu60 got discontinued and unfortunately i can't seem to find anything as "clean looking" as it, even on the document provided by wooting themself i didn't find anything, main reason being that most of the cases that are listed there are US based and shipping costs to EU are just too high.
I have been raccomended to look for something on aliexpress but i'm afraid i'll end up buying something that is not compatible (i know basically 0 of the keyboard world). Could anyone of you give me some suggestions for a case or maybe some tips to what i have to look for in order for the case to be compatible, please?

[somber scroll]

See the pinned comment about compatible cases

[haughty delta]

Maxgaming is EU based and has e-white Tofu60s in stock

[somber scroll]

You want the same standoffs as the default case, or it can have less (but less means more flex, probably need at least the 4 on the sides). There’s also some cases with a stand-off in the middle which the wooting PCBA has a hole for

[dusky kiln]

yes, that's the "document" that i've mentioned

[somber scroll]

I mean the psd60, klippe T and FB60 are all pretty clean

Baka60 also works

[dusky kiln]

i love u 🥲

[somber scroll]

@bronze grove can we add the baka60 to that list? I believe @shell geode can provide pictures as he has one

[dusky kiln]

psd60 seems to not have a white option, wich is the color i was looking for.
the Klippe T is cool but from their website it ends up costing me 200€ + possibly customs fees wich is a lot, same applies for many more of the keyboard listed on that document even the freebird60, case only gets to 110€ + :c

[somber scroll]

Yeah. Baka60 is also a good option (not on the list rn but is compatible)

https://paramountkeeb.com/products/paramount-keeb-60-aluminium-case?variant=36131664101537
Although they also don’t have white lol. It’s quite a bummer that the tofu is discontinued

[dusky kiln]

yep but if i can order it from maxgaming i'll be to the moon (idk if this expression makes any sense, i mean that i'll be happy, quite a lot)

forgive my english i'm from spaghetti 😅

[somber scroll]

Haha I think the correct saying is “over the moon”. I understood tho

[dusky kiln]

they even have artisan mousepads 🤯 where was this site hiding in my search!?

[haughty delta]

I have no idea haha, I only know about them cuz my friend and I both ordered our Lamzu mice through them

[shadow phoenix]

oh dang they sold out of the blue. my black baka60 comes in today 🙂 per recs of people here

[zinc scroll]

Does anone know if this case fits? The standoffs look good but im unsure. i know anything thats not on the list is a risk but i thought mby someone has already tried it. Case is the MelGeek Mojo60 60% Resin Case thanks in advance

[somber scroll]

It looks like it will. The Mojo60 aluminum case is on there

[glass furnace]

Is there any sort of PCB that someone has made that is compatible with lekker switches ?/

[bronze grove]

Yes... ours.

[zinc scroll]

oh my bad must have missed it

[zinc scroll]

why so funny man lol

[tall hollow]

Community made keypads

And ofc wootings pcbs

And maybe the Apex pro

[tall hollow]

Although I’m not 100 percent sure about this

[glass furnace]

You guys dont sell bare PCBs tho right ?
And the lay out is currently between the full size and the 60
I prefer having arrow keys and some keys like home, end and insert.

[tall hollow]

They are planning on selling the standalone module

So like the pcb and plate

And maybe the switches

[glass furnace]

They already sell the switches I believe

[tall hollow]

Packs of 12 though, not 60 or 120

[bronze grove]

"The module"

But you're still getting a 60HE no matter how you cut it.

[tall hollow]

True that

[glass furnace]

Any plans for different lay outs with more keys ?
Will it be possible for people to later design their own PCBS for custom ergo keyboards that use the lekker switches ?

[bronze grove]

It's a magnetic switch, not rocket science. We aren't actively preventing anyone from making their own hall effect products.

There are several "macropads" for osu! that can use our switches. Based on the simple fact that a magnet is a magnet.

[untold wigeon]

does any1 know if this case would fit

GH60 A60 Heavy Anodised Aluminium CNC Case Base Plate for 60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Compatible Poker2 Pok3r Faceu 60 Etc. https://amzn.eu/d/9xvpUDD

[haughty delta]

I was gonna say, Wooting is making such a splash with their tech there's no way we don't see an explosion of third party stuff in the next couple of years

Hall Effect stuff will become a lot more mainstream now

[bronze grove]

As for something "new"

[glass furnace]

Right yeah
Just that the entire eco system you guys have by made is amazing and I'd love to see it implemented in different ways.

Currently in college so can't really afford the keyboard (mostly due to import costs)
But the moment I'm able to get one I'm jumping on it.
I've always wanted this sort of granular control in a keyboard and it's amazing how you guys have implemented it.

[tall hollow]

WOOTING TKL!!!!!

[ebon quiver]

ETA?

[tall hollow]

Probably this summer

It will get announced

[glass furnace]

I hope a 70% type is also announced soon 😭

[tall hollow]

TKL is more popular tho

[bronze grove]

Count the keycaps.

[haughty delta]

Wooting Largest Keyboard in the World when?

[glass furnace]

Yeah but I think slot of people prefer having arrow keys for their 60%
But the keyboard space is all personal

[plain tusk]

Anyone can suggest me any good cases for cheap?

[bronze grove]

See pins

[ebon quiver]

so like at least a year or two away, got it

[glass furnace]

Wait is this actually a 70% ish board ?

[bronze grove]

Guess we'll find out once it's announced.

[glass furnace]

Y'all know how to hype haha

[tall hollow]

Oh, it is a tkl.

[bronze grove]

Is it?

Interesting.

[glass furnace]

How ?

[tall hollow]

Counted the top row and observed it’s shape and compared it to my tkl keyboard

[bronze grove]

https://tenor.com/view/fight-do-it-go-on-gif-19521602

[tall hollow]

My 75 percent doesn’t match up at all.

[somber scroll]

Definitely a TKL. Enough rows to have a F row and definitely has a set of 3 keys on the right

[glass furnace]

My 71% has almost the same looking top row XD

[tall hollow]

My 75 doesn’t match up lol

Only my tkl does

[glass furnace]

But backspace tho
Hmmmm

Guess we gotta wait and watch

[somber scroll]

There’s an F row on that keyboard

[tall hollow]

Definitely

[glass furnace]

Yeah

But plenty of f row keyboards that are like 75%
Different lay out tho

Not sure tho I'm a keyboard newbie lol

[somber scroll]

75% doesn’t have the set of 3 columns on the right tho

Although it could be like this plus an extra column

The spacing on the top right 3 keys in the wooting are interesting

[glass furnace]

@bronze grove is there a possibility of the PCB schematics going open source ?

[bronze grove]

Highly doubt it.

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

This is all we offer.

[glass furnace]

fair enough

[shell geode]

Thanks! 3d printed 👌

[dusky orchid]

Can u put switchpads on the Wooting PCB or this will cause performance issues on the switches?

[shell geode]

I've put switch pads on mine, no problems at all

[dusky orchid]

Thx m8

[mental hemlock]

Gewaltttt

hows it going bro

[mental hemlock]

I really like the Royal Kludges 75% layout

[somber scroll]

Did it change the sound noticeably? Or was it negligible

[haughty delta]

I definitely like the sound of mine better with switch pads

I used poron ones and I've noticed that sometimes it will miss inputs on really sensitive Rapid Trigger settings, but I've turned RT up to .25 and no longer have any issues

[solid stump]

Question, I just got my klippe T case for my 60HE, and I've got stuff to burger mount - should I re-use the wooting foam in the klippe t?

[mental hemlock]

you could, people use a special type of foam used in cars to dampen the sound and they say iys bette

[mental hemlock]

if you spent all the money on the Klippe i would just go all out

[normal schooner]

I would reuse the wooting foam mark

[solid stump]

kk ty wish me luck lol

[shell geode]

Yup, the sound is definitely softer and muted, also I like to think it absorbs a bit of vibration from pressing down, but also I think it all gets overshadowed by the sorbothane I put in, as that made a huge difference from no case foam

[shell geode]

Yo! How's it going?

[mental hemlock]

mark check this out

you can also use a longer screw so you can put 4 o rings in total

[mental hemlock]

im chilling bro hows the keyboard modding

[mental hemlock]

the reason i say use the foam i sent is because the wooting switches are contactless, and those usually tend to sound worse

and itll sound amazing in the Klippe because it has no gaps at all, its really an amazing case

[solid stump]

Ok burger mounted and in the case, time to put keycaps back on. Gonna have to lube these switch at some point, I like the more solid feel but not sure about the sound

[shell geode]

It's good, I did a silicone test and posted a video up above

[mental hemlock]

Heard chef

[mental hemlock]

Solid in what sense

[solid stump]

Like there's no flex at all in the board when I'm typing

Also holy crap this Klippe case definitely needs a wrist wrest

Also also man it's heavy, and definitely too big for the case I originally bought for toting this thing back and forth from work lol

how tight should this thing be screwed down? Video on their site said "loosely" tighten lol I'm super new to KB modding. I used the Klippe screws, ended up using the center mount as well, 2 orings per screw

[bronze star]

looks so cool

[mental hemlock]

show me a picture

[solid stump]

@mental hemlock

[mental hemlock]

yeah its pretty stiff

theres a guy that used some screws from Amazon that are a tad longer, and let him use 4 orings if youre down to try that

[solid stump]

Should I try just loosening the screws?

[mental hemlock]

just a quarter turn, see what it does

the screws are already kind of tiny so

[solid stump]

I actually ended up using the screws that came with the klippe since they were a bit longer

[mental hemlock]

ah ok

[solid stump]

The head on them is ever so slightly smaller, not sure if that makes a difference

[mental hemlock]

maybe try the wooting screws and see if it makes a difference

[solid stump]

Ok

[mental hemlock]

its just the o ring that makes the flex i think

which ones are you using

[solid stump]

Well and I feel like the orings are just squashed up against the board, so not sure if they're actually helping

[mental hemlock]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igy_n3f7VeI&t=561s

[solid stump]

yep

[mental hemlock]

see what that does

[solid stump]

Yeah that's what I did

I'll take it all back out and take a pic

[mental hemlock]

okok

he's using the wooting screws too maybe it makes a difference

https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/comments/11senvl/maxxed_out_modded_wooting_60he/

@solid stump by the way, i dont think the burger mount on this keyboard is for the flex, its more for the acoustics

[solid stump]

Yeah I figured as much but the acoustics sound worse so far. Trying stock screws and removing the center one right now

[mental hemlock]

got it

[shell geode]

It's all finger grip now, since I'm trying to not rely on my palm resting on the mouse

[mental hemlock]

he main purpose of burger mount is isolation, mainly sound isolation between the switches and case. It won't give any significant bounce unless you're using much thicker silicone of very specific hardness! That said, it may reduce the harsh feel and uneven sound of tray mount. It will, however, offset the PCB slightly which may make the port misaligned - hence my recommendation of post caps (0.5mm thick silicone) underneath instead of o-rings (presumably ID 2mm OD 4mm; 1mm thick).
20

thats what someone said

[shell geode]

I forgot what stock sounds like lol

[mental hemlock]

haha

in too deep lol

@shell geode what did burger mount do for you

[shell geode]

Haven't done it yet, waiting for the m2x8mm screws I ordered from aliexpress to come in

Thinking of a custom plate next, either out of brass or cf

[mental hemlock]

carbon fiber might be the play for this keyboard

or PC

[fading holly]

That's my experience with burger mounting the PCB in a Klippe T so far. It's stable (no bounce) but sound is a bit more dampened since the PCB no longer directly sits on the stand-offs.
Also, the UBS port alignment is not a problem. Only slightly shifted upwards due to the silicone ring between PCB and stand-off.
Feels pretty good to type on and I like the sound. Though I would recommend against using the original Klippe or Wooting screws for burger mounting. They are too short. M2x8s are perfect.

[mental hemlock]

thank you for your input

may we see your sound test

dont think i heard it before

[fading holly]

I think I should be able to record something later. I'll drop it here when I do!

[mental hemlock]

thanks!

[solid stump]

So I've got the stock screws burger mounted, definitely short but they seem to work

[mental hemlock]

hows the feel

[celest wedge]

I need better springs

these are too light

[solid stump]

I think that the stock screws are better

I definitely think it feels better

Seems to sound better too

[shell geode]

I hear you, I'll probably lean towards cf when it comes to time to shop for the material

[solid stump]

I'm wondering if I am tightening these screws to much, to the point that maybe the o-rings are going inside the board instead of going between the board and the case.

[mental hemlock]

what makes you think that

[solid stump]

Cause when I took the smaller headed screws out, some of the orings were inside the board lmao

Not getting as much of a "thock" as I would like

What do you guys think?

[mental hemlock]

try the burger mount again

[solid stump]

That is with the burger mount, stock screws, no center screw
