The spring only

[bronze grove]

Sounds to me like you just want lube literally everywhere.

[next scaffold]

Prolly the switch I used wasn’t of quality?

[next scaffold]

Damn make it swim some more 😂

[teal hill]

He had a ton of lube on his spring, and by putting it in a bag you get rid of lube :)

[bronze grove]

your spring rn

[teal hill]

LMFAO

[next scaffold]

It was also a lot on bottom housing

[teal hill]

if you wanna clean them, get an ultrasonic cleaner

Does the trick for me

[dark saddle]

[next scaffold]

But isn’t wooting a contactless switch?

[wispy wharf]

why not just put your keyboard in a tub of mineral oil and use it like that

[dark saddle]

Smaht

Wicked smaht

[next scaffold]

What if I overlube them and it gets on the bottom part then I just mess the whole magnets up

[austere creek]

yes

unless ur lube contains metal it wont mess up anything

[teal hill]

if your lube contains metal idk what you're doing

[next scaffold]

Sweet

Preciate the help

[austere creek]

just dont over lube em

makes em feel weird

[next scaffold]

I’ve never used anything like else besides 205g0 from divinikey lol

[dark saddle]

He didn't use lube, he used liquid metal :p

https://tenor.com/view/terminator-alive-oh-no-liquid-metal-gif-14033115

[austere creek]

he used the terminator?

[next scaffold]

Scale of 1-5 how necessary are they to lube? Especially being housed in an aluminum case? (Assuming there’s gonna be a lot of pinging and ringing)

[dark saddle]

They come dryer than the sahara

[austere creek]

thats not true

they are prelubed

but well its factory lubing... hand lubed will beat it

by a landslide

[teal hill]

if you're gonna use lekker switches on their own, you can't

well, you can, but with a lot of trouble

[next scaffold]

Wdym

[teal hill]

you need a special PCB for em

you can't use like, a normal keyboard PCB

[dark saddle]

Or you can. I mean. It won 't work, but

It'd make a good mantle piece

Do zoomers have mantles?

Hmm.

[teal hill]

Cuz they're hall effect switches, so you need an hall effect/electrocapacitve PCB(correct me on the EC part if im wrong)

[vale beacon]

In modding FAQ, it says the 60HE keycaps are oem profile, this the same for the Two HE

[austere creek]

the pcb isnt all too special but theres no HE compatible PCB out there besides wooting HE keyboards and the Apex omnipoint ones. the bigger issue besides PCB is theres no public firmware supporting HE sensors/settings

[austere creek]

yes

[teal hill]

yes

[next scaffold]

@teal hill wait I plan on taking the internals of the wooting and slapping it on another case? That’s fine right??

[teal hill]

ahhh yes

[austere creek]

keycap wise the 60he and 2he are the same including answers for cherry profile etc

[teal hill]

use tray mount 60%

[austere creek]

so the 2he also shouldnt interfere with almost all cherry caps

[next scaffold]

Bruh got me worried lol

[teal hill]

I.E, tofu60,

[next scaffold]

I’m using the Klippe T. Literally the only case I could find now

[dark saddle]

Not sure how it feels about ASA though

[vale beacon]

Nice!

He's the co-designer of GMK Minimal so he has a ton of extra sets on his website for GB price

So 120

[next scaffold]

In stock? Or currently Group Buy

[teal hill]

in stock

GB was a long ago

The GMK Jamon group buy is killing me

So tryna avoid as much as possible group buys

Where is QODA based?

It's just a single guy doing all the wortk

[teal hill]

[next scaffold]

LOL let’s gooo

[gloomy sierra]

before permatex gasket mod:

after permatex gasket mod

Product: Permatex 81724 Sensor-Safe Ultra Blue RTV Silicone Gasket Maker.

I didnt apply it perfectly but it makes a significant sound difference, much quieter now.

[tall hollow]

Still has a hint of that lekker clack but yes, it is very quiet now.

[gloomy sierra]

yeah the original keyboard (top) sounds smoother / better to me, but i think its also coz i lubed the springs etc on the brown/red keyboard

[tall hollow]

Also your keycaps are at different heights, and uhh, that’s not good

[gloomy sierra]

wait what

keycaps at different heights?

[tall hollow]

Maybe look down the side of your keyboard and you’ll see what I mean.

[gloomy sierra]

yeah its coz the application of the silicone is 100% rng

so some are 0.1mm, some are 0.3mm etc

some i had way too much and scraped it off

some i didnt put enough and it sounds stock-ish

[tall hollow]

Yeah, @somber scroll did this mod and he got it relatively consistent by using the stems to squish the silicone into shape after about an hour.

[gloomy sierra]

yeah i squished it but it did nothing

ended up having to scrape

[tall hollow]

Maybe you waited too long.

[gloomy sierra]

probably USER ERROR

yeah def

maybe i shoulda just squished like after i was done applying

coz there was 0 imprint

it had definitely cured enough

i'm just happy that it sounds much more muted now

[tall hollow]

Def

[gloomy sierra]

(as in cured too much to be molded 😦 )

[tall hollow]

Yeah, rip

[zinc scroll]

Does aneyone here haave a melgeek case? xD Idlike to know if its possible to detach the the mounting poles or if there in the case permanently

[teal hill]

mounting poles are always stuck, you can sand em off, but thats about it

[zinc scroll]

aight, well thanks :P.

[teal hill]

holy fuck dont buy that melgeek shit lmfao

200usd for full plastic? no thanks

[zinc scroll]

nah thinking about the resdin case

just the case

i like the look of it

that plastic thing is really rediculus

[somber scroll]

How long after applying it did you squish?

[gloomy sierra]

i swear an hour but might have been a bit more; maybe 1.5

[somber scroll]

Hmm. I guess that’s too long. Probably has an initial cure time that’s pretty short because it’s such a tiny amount. I would’ve thought it would be fine up to like 2 hours but good to know that’s probably not the case

[mint flint]

huh?

its aluminium

i have the mojo60 and its heavy af

[mint flint]

yeah youd have to sand it off but the wooting fits in it perfectly

[teal hill]

Yeah I know, but most Melgeek stuff is plastic

Also its only a kg

[zinc scroll]

Alright, I have another pcb in mind but I’m thinking about putting the 60HE in too 😛

[mint flint]

you say only but thats very comparable to something like the klippe t

its p solid, man. put the wooting in and its not moving lol

[teal hill]

Oh I didnt say it wasnt solid

you said "heavy af"

But its only a kg :,)

[mint flint]

right but relative to keyboards, lol

[teal hill]

My keyboard is 2.9/3.2kg iirc

[mint flint]

its obviously not something you need to power clean lmao

[pliant sun]

Swapped out my strap :,)

[mint flint]

dope

[teal hill]

Nice1

[pliant sun]

Wanted to ask about the cables being too long sometimes and having not enough power. How long is too long?

Also thank you :)

[bronze grove]

Only one way to find out.

Stock cable is 6ft.

[pliant sun]

Understood! Thank you :)

[somber scroll]

Does anyone know of sound tests between acrylic, PC and poured resin cases? Not exactly sure what plastic poured resin would be (can you get pourable PC or acrylic?) so if it would be the same as acrylic or PC then disregard that

[tall hollow]

Pourable PC does not exist

Acrylic isn’t pourable

The closest you can get with either of those is Epoxy Resin.

[somber scroll]

Ah okay. Acrylic and PC would be machined out of a solid block then?

[tall hollow]

Yup

Or injection molded.

[void mirage]

Hi all, question about pulling switches to lube. I bought a cheap kit of tools and was wondering if the there's a tips in using it. I test pulled and lubed one switch and broke one of the tiny clips on one side of it while oulling it. The kb only comes with 2 extra switches so I don't want toscrww myself over

[untold wigeon]

oooh let's go someone else switching it up

[tall hollow]

Yeah those parts of the puller that actually push in the tabs are a bit on the longer side.

[void mirage]

is that whats causing the breaking of those little tabs. Any idea how long theyre supposed to be. i could file them down im guessing

[tall hollow]

Just press lighter

Only bend it enough to get the job done.

[stray tiger]

https://youtu.be/WN_-GYLTfpY

[void mirage]

ahhh, so less tweezing and more pulling i guess?

[tall hollow]

More wiggling to be specific

[void mirage]

yeah thats my reference for my lubing

[stray tiger]

Did you remove the plate from the PCB?

[void mirage]

ok thanks

[tall hollow]

This works on most stubborn switches.

[void mirage]

i did not. would that be advisable? i just pulled it right out of the keyboard lol

[stray tiger]

Yes, thats why I linked the video

Makes first time switch removeable much easier

[tall hollow]

Oh of course

[void mirage]

ahhh ok. ill definitely do that then

[tall hollow]

Allows you to put some leverage behind the switch and push it out if needed.

[tall hollow]

Don’t do it on a keeb with actual pins though.

You might bend them if you do it that way.

[void mirage]

good to know! Thanks 🙂

any advice for lubing itself. I see Wootings video recommends mostly the stem. Badseed says stem and partial bottom housing

[tall hollow]

I did both the stem and bottom housing.

[void mirage]

ok thanks

[short fiber]

are there any german iso keycaps for the 60he`?

preferably something blue

[stray tiger]

@tall hollow those films came in today. Going to try and knock them out this weekend if time allows

[tall hollow]

Nice, i see you got switch tripods too.

[stray tiger]

The guy in the reddit post said to grab them so I wanted to try and recreate what he posted exactly to verify

[bronze grove]

Ooh. So we can finally measure them and see if they actually touch the PCB or not.

[tall hollow]

My switch pads do touch the pcb

And they’re 0.15 mm thick

[stray tiger]

I'd have to grab the gauge and check but these are the tripods https://cannonkeys.com/products/cannonkeys-switch-tripods?variant=40773145362543

[tall hollow]

I used a micrometer

[stray tiger]

yeah I can check when I get started and let you know this thickness

[tall hollow]

Aight

[wraith ice]

@tall hollow @mental hemlock here you go. Without foam…I don’t know if you can hear it or not but it’s pingy.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1070790236419919952/1104485111065493604/IMG_9256.mov

[tall hollow]

Yeah, it’s sounds more hollow now.

[wraith ice]

Foams going back in. For now

[tall hollow]

Good idea

[wraith ice]

It was pretty much exactly what I expected. That’s one of my issues with the tofu. It’s an extremely pingy case.

[static tendon]

Checking back in, any updates for when the aluminum case and barebones wooting 60HE will release? Around summer time?

Any new teasers of the case or barebones kit at the current moment?

[placid blaze]

Hey everyone, any advice on popping out the switches?

I've just damaged the plastic tab that clicks into the plate using a switch puller

and I'd rather not do that on multiple switches 😅

[bronze grove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN_-GYLTfpY
Take the entire keyboard apart, only have the white switch plate, lay it on the table and pull like shown.

[teal hill]

Desolder as well right

[bronze grove]

wat

[austere cradle]

FIRE

[austere cradle]

WHERE GET STRAP

[teal hill]

If you wanna get the switches out of the PCB to lube em

[bronze grove]

... no?
(The switches are hotswap)

[pliant sun]

Got it back in 2016 and had it ever since. Just made it so I could put the screws in so it could work.

[austere cradle]

do u know where u got

[pliant sun]

I’ll send you the link

[austere cradle]

ok

can u put ur own text in?

[pliant sun]

No

[austere cradle]

oh

ok

[pliant sun]

You’ll see why

Yeah

[austere cradle]

send me pls

[hot kayak]

I was gonna wait until my keycaps came in but theyre taking too long so theres just pbt caps from kbdfans on there rn, i might add a couple more mods to the switches later but idk this is pretty much done now tho. Before and after test:

[pliant sun]

Sent you a dm already

[austere cradle]

sorry i didnt realise

[austere cradle]

wht mouse

[hot kayak]

My jtk dreaming girls should be coming in 2 months Max id say and it should make a pretty big difference

G pro wireless

[austere cradle]

nice

why u got cereal box on display

[hot kayak]

Why u askin me questions that arent related to the keyboard modding, but to answer ur question cuz i used to liek overwatch

[mental hemlock]

nah fr why does he lol

[austere cradle]

ok

[mental hemlock]

to be honest with you, i kinda like it lol

[austere cradle]

cuz i like peoples setups

[hot kayak]

@stray tiger the o-ring mount you suggested made a pretty big difference

[stray tiger]

Gummy o-ring? Yeah it's a pretty solid mod!

[hot kayak]

Understandable

[austere cradle]

i like the small designs

like keycaps etc

[hot kayak]

Yea my bakeneko uses gummy oring so had to do it for the wooting, just didn’t know it was possible until you showed it

[lucid owl]

Don't have the wooting in my Tofu

But built mine with Sorbothane strip in the battery slot, 2 layers of dz60 case foam, tape mod en plate foam

Actually sounds premium for being a Tofu, afraid that the wooting in it will not sound as good tho

Alu plate with lubed alpaca's if curious, lemme get a sound test real quick

[normal schooner]

I need to lube my keeb

but im lazy

[lucid owl]

Lubing switches is fun man, I do it while working from home 😉

[normal schooner]

ayooo this bro got the wooting primary color

looks dope frfr

[lucid owl]

E-yellow Tofu with custom engraving

[normal schooner]

you're no mid no cap

[lucid owl]

Engraving only cost me like 10-15 bucks

🤷‍♂️

[sharp frigate]

Bruh this is so fun I love it

[lucid owl]

Thanks, my boards are either super clean or super goofy and fun

[static tendon]

You are correct. The wooting PCB in your tofu60 won’t sound as good. Alpacas have a deeper tone to them. The lekkar switches don’t exactly have that identical deeper sound. There are plenty of examples through this discord though. I’d recommend to search around for some examples if you got some time

[lucid owl]

The board my wooting is in now is fire tho,
I've built plenty of board including tray mounts to know that even if it will be higher pitch it won't be bad

Current build and sound signature is just not something I want to demolish

Just listen to this

[static tendon]

It shouldn’t be bad but when compared to something like the alpacas along with different plate materials, it likely won’t sound as premium.

[lucid owl]

True

I feel like switches and caps make the biggest impact on sound beside the case tho

Lekker switches are just higher pitched in nature

[static tendon]

Yeah I agree with that. Caps and switches do make quite a difference in sound signature

[robust fog]

I recently found case called "Cora 60%", do you think this will fit wooting 60he?

It's not on compatibility list

[placid blaze]

@somber scroll yeah so I tried the silicone mod and it applying that stuff is SUPER hard

looks like I messed up application and am gonna use baking soda and water to get rid of my application

😭

[somber scroll]

Yeah it’s quite tedious

You should be able to just pull it off once it’s somewhat cured

[placid blaze]

You think it'll come off smoothly?

I don't want random bits of blue on my beloved lekker switches

[somber scroll]

Yeah I think so. I don’t think it adheres super well. Let me try it on one of my extras

[lucid owl]

Seems like it might, just seems like standard tray mount fit

[somber scroll]

Okay nvm. It comes off the stems super easily but it’s a bit tedious to get off the top housing

[stray tiger]

I'm excited for the 60HE Module. The addition of screw-in stabs will likely remove my ability to gummy o-ring mount it BUT screw-in stabs means you can experiment with tons of top/gasket mount cases and you don't have to modify the plates except for adding stand-off holes

[lucid owl]

I'm afraid of switching to non compatible plates tho

If it doesn't align well or isn't firm enough you might mess with the functionality

Especially in flexible gasket mount configs

[tall hollow]

there are people who made custom plates

[stray tiger]

Yeah Ive made 3 custom plates and have a 4th coming next week.

[lucid owl]

custom plates is fine if you leave it in the tray mount config I feel

[stray tiger]

Plus the 60HE module will ship with a PC plate so it's going to be a cool change

[lucid owl]

Once you start messing with the mounting aswell and add alot more flex to the module is where things might get tricky

Prob will just pick up the module for the PC plate sound signature and keep it tray mounted

[stray tiger]

Ive been gummy o-ring mounting both of my 60HE's without an issue and I've also top/gasket mounted 3 of them in boards I had aluminum plates made for.

[lucid owl]

Hmmm

Top mount seems interesting then

[stray tiger]

You have to remember, even with custom plates there are still stand-offs between the plate and PCB along with foam. It would take a LOT of force to flex that

[lucid owl]

yeah ok the stand offs are a must then

Anyone tried adding PE/EVA foam to the pcb btw?

Would that mess with the Hall Effect?

[stray tiger]

Some people have tried changing out the foam and a few have said it caused an issue so be aware. My next build I'll be using different foam so hopefully I can report back

[static tendon]

What do you mean by 60HE module? It will also come with a polycarbonate plate?

[hot kayak]

Wait the new one will have screw in stabs?!

[stray tiger]

On the stream this week Wooting confirmed that the Path60 (Wooting's aluminum case) will be available this summer and will be sold with or without the 60HE Module, which is a wooting 60HE PCB that includes screw-in stabs and a PC plate.

Friend of mine who just started making artisans is doing a giveaway if anyone is interested - https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr6ubBaPlxQ/

Instagram

[static tendon]

Ahhh I see. Ok gotcha, yeah that’s what I’m waiting for. The barebones package of the wooting. Pumped for it

[stray tiger]

It wont come with keycaps, but will come with switches.

[lucid owl]

Same price aswell tho, but makes sense

[stray tiger]

Pricing hasnt been announced yet

[lucid owl]

On stream they said the module would be same price as a regular board

Price of the path60 isn't known yet tho

[stray tiger]

They said they are still looking into pricing discounts to buy both the Path60 and Module together and potentially discounts if you already purchased a 60HE

[lucid owl]

True but regular price of module they said would be the same as a normal 60HE

[static tendon]

In this case I’d assume the module would be cheaper since they are including less parts/items? I can see the case being a separate price entirely though

[lucid owl]

Plastic case and keycaps are very little of the costs

And PC plate screw in stabs etc. costs more I guess

[static tendon]

Right, but I’d assume the price of the PC plate and screw in stabs wouldn’t match the price of an entire wooting 60HE keyboard including caps and case

[lucid owl]

https://clips.twitch.tv/AbstruseLovelySandstormKevinTurtle-mTW2WRer7LoljVBL

[static tendon]

I am waiting for the barebones package to hopefully save some money since I’m likely going to go for my own case or use their new aluminum60 case 🤞

Don’t want the plastic case and their caps^

[lucid owl]

If you combo it with their alu case I think there is a combo deal

[static tendon]

Hmm I see. I do want the combo deal

[lucid owl]

otherwise not worth it to wait

[static tendon]

Gotcha, I think I do want the path60 (wootings alu case). Wish I could see a little more of it to make a better decision

If they don’t have a white version I’ll likely avoid it

[lucid owl]

prob be a while before it releases and I think more updates next month

I think Black is the only version

Getting Alu in white requires an E-coating and that is usually way more expensive

[static tendon]

Darn, hopefully not but I can see that being a likely path they take providing only black. Knowing wooting a white version will release down the line

[lucid owl]

Wouldn't get my hopes up but ya never know

[static tendon]

Yeah that’s true. I hear the freebird60 is restocking in about 1 month so I’m gonna try to decide by then

Might continue holding off to get a hold of the new aluminum wooting case if it comes in white

[lucid owl]

https://clips.twitch.tv/MistyBoldShallotWoofer-BIHEGtpdHFZy7gzj

[static tendon]

Thank you, you’re awesome for that

[lucid owl]

Seems far fetched to me that they will be offering this in multiple colours

[static tendon]

Looks like black will be the only color option offered when the aluminum 60 case releases

[lucid owl]

Black matches well with alot of keycap sets tho

I like the design and it will be coming with a strap aswell

We need more cool tray mounts in the market

[static tendon]

Not exactly in my situation, I do already have key caps and everything. Just wanting to do a swap into a white case. Black kinda throws off my color scheme of white and blue

[lucid owl]

true, might just wanna pick up a module and a Tofu or Freebird then

[lucid owl]

Colours match well with the deskpad nice

Might just wanna use a white or blue cable tho for that full aesthetics

[static tendon]

Yes I actually do but currently using laptop/PC so I am using 2 keyboards haha

Darn I do like the case. Black isn’t entirely out of the picture quite yet but it is a bummer. Gonna have to think about it

[molten tinsel]

what case is this? looks awesome 🙂

[static tendon]

Looks like a KBD 5° or a replica of it

[placid blaze]

I test fitted some of them, seems like I haven't done anything to wreck switch feel so I'm not too stressed

[molten tinsel]

legend ty

[hot kayak]

Yup exactly

[quaint fox]

What is that pad looks super high quality

[static tendon]

It’s so so tbh. It’s from “TheMousePadCompany” https://themousepadcompany.com/products/strata_liquid in the XXL size 48x24inch

I don’t really like the duraglyde fabric. It feels rough on the hands. But I did have it for like 3 years now.

If I were to get another one it would be this one here by GutsyAiden. Similar design as well https://gutzyaiden.com/collections/swirl-collection/products/blue-swirl-xxl-mousepad?variant=41165453426888 offered in the same 48x24inch size too

[halcyon parrot]

first time modding/changing stuff, anyone know any kecaps that look like this? as in the colourway and the rounded square type look it has

doubleshot pbt preferred

[trim ravine]

Just curious, but does anyone know if a HyperX coiled cable should be okay for the Wooting 60?

Cable Specifications

Total Length: 4.5ft / 1.37m
Straight Cable Length: 3.9ft 

Coiled Length: 5.7in
Coiled Inner Diameter: 0.6in

Since its less then 6 ft I have to imagine its good to use for the Wooting and won't cause power issues

[dark saddle]

Can only test

[mental hemlock]

should

[dark saddle]

Remember yo uwant the cable to be thicc too

[trim ravine]

I mean I already have one on my current setup, so I mean testing it won't hurt anyways

[stray tiger]

#🪛│modding_faq message you'll need to know what the lengrh of the coiled section is "when stretched out"

[prime orbit]

Anyone have a case recommendation for the 60he

Just got it and the tofu60 case is discontinued

So idk what to get

[stray tiger]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[prime orbit]

Ah thank you!

[trim ravine]

thats a good point, i will say this cable overall is pretty short though, it doesn't even reach my computer and the computer is about 2 feet away from me lol

[stray tiger]

You can always try it. As the FAQ says it will likely work just fine, you just may need to reduce the LED brightness a bit ot turn off Tachyon

[static tendon]

Alright for those wondering I have watched some of the stream here:
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1811969867?t=0h24m12s
Thanks @lucid owl for the link

Some summarization of what I've watched:
The Wooting barebones (PCB, plate, switches) will release sometime in June - (37:30 into the video) (price will be same as 60he)
Aluminum Case - will only come in a black color for now (25:52 in the video) (Wooting case will be at 4 degrees, different rubber feet to raise height)
Coiled cables will be offered from Wooting likely around june

[mental hemlock]

Wait, what? Why would anyone buy just the “essentials” for the same price?

[stray tiger]

Because you get the newer PCB that comes with screw-in stabs and the more expensive PC plate in exchange for giving up the plastic case and caps

[static tendon]

I was wondering the same thing earlier, apparently it has some slight upgrades such as the plate, some slightly revised switches and they will include a bundle deal when purchased with the alu case

[mental hemlock]

Oh fuck yeah

Thank you

Did it sound better or no sound tests?

[static tendon]

No sound tests at the moment

[stray tiger]

You ask that a lot and I keep telling you that better depends on the person and what they are looking for.

[static tendon]

At least not in that video^

[mental hemlock]

Do you have a problem?

[stray tiger]

Will it sound different. Yes it will

I'm trying to explain that what sounds better to you may sound worse to me or someone else. There is no better, there is only different.

[mental hemlock]

I beg to differ

Majority rules like a deep thock from what I’ve seen

[stray tiger]

I prefer a clackier board so I have just disproved your point.

[static tendon]

Typically aluminum cases provide a slightly higher pitch sound, with foams and some mods it can deepen the sound

[mental hemlock]

Majority

[stray tiger]

I think majority likes creamy. I can make up stats too.

[mental hemlock]

Haha but you have such a grudge with me asking for how something sounds

I don’t understand

[stray tiger]

Although I'd love for someone to tell me what creamy sounds like. Is it like milky? Or closer to cheesy?

I don't have a grudge with asking how something sounds, you just keep asking is it better and no one can answer that for you.

If you had said "Does it sound thockier/deeper because that's what I prefer? " That can be answered.

[mental hemlock]

I mean better in the sense of objectively better than how the stock Wooting sounds

We both know that’s not winning any awards in terms of sound

[stray tiger]

Again, that can't be answered. Objectively or subjectively

I may think it sounds worse, you may think it sounds better. There is no way I can decide that for you.

[mental hemlock]

You don’t have to lol

It was also a question I had for @static tendon

[stray tiger]

So if he also prefers clacky boards and says it sounds better because it's clackier, would you agree with him?

[mental hemlock]

Well I could answer that if I heard it, then I would tell him that he’s wrong

[stray tiger]

Lol

[static tendon]

I'm so so with both, I do like thock I guess, but clacky keyboards remind me of rain drops. It's a worm hole for some, I understand why some people own multiple boards

[stray tiger]

You would tell him he is wrong for thinking something sounds better to him?

[mental hemlock]

Absolutely

It’s about how it sounds to me

[stray tiger]

You literally just agreed with my entire argument lol. Thanks! Enjoy your evening, I'm out.

[mental hemlock]

Haha have a good night my man

[gloomy sierra]

i put too much and spend around 20 seconds per switch with a sharp screwdriver reducing it to stop interference. IDT you can 100% remove, but can remove it enough so that it works beautifully. If you want to 100% remove / undo the mode, yeah probably need to soak the part in something.

(assuming you're talking about the permatex blue stuff)

[pale aspen]

is this count as gummy oring?

i just bought tofu BNIB e-white for $40 and seller included these standoffs too

[hot kayak]

no

gummy o-ring is when you put a band around your pcb/plat and squeeze the whole board in to your case

instead of screwing the board into the case

[dark saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/gummy-gummies-vonchyy-gif-24445690

[boreal latch]

What exactly is pc? A polymer?

[untold wigeon]

Does anyone know where to get stiffer springs for the lekker switches?

[austere creek]

ask a manufacturer to produce some

[austere creek]

polycarbonate so basically a term for a few thermoplastic polymers

[untold wigeon]

you got any tips or ideas where to do that and for a somewhat decent price?

[austere creek]

depends on if you need the probably 1k springs or so

companies wont just make 100 for you as its not profitable enough

[untold wigeon]

yeah that’s my concern

[pale aspen]

i hope there is a discount for og wooting buyer

[dark saddle]

Actually you get charged more.

[wispy wharf]

Special negative discount

[robust fog]

So the "bundle" will contain Path60, PCB, PC plate, stabs and switches?

[bronze grove]

Bundle is a strong word. You have to add all of the items to the cart separately.

The case by itself is one item.
And then the module, which is a 60HE except for the case and keycaps (and with the different PCB and plate)

[robust fog]

Yeah, that's why I quoted it. The module seems like a way better deal since I'll be swapping keycaps and case instantly

[pliant sun]

So no strap on the aluminum case?

[bronze grove]

White strap.

[dark saddle]

Make the strap out of Aluminum too

https://tenor.com/view/apple-watch-diamond-band-gif-22763344

[wispy wharf]

Case made entirely of high density elastomer for maximum quiet

Been done?

[hot kayak]

Most definitely not

Maybe it has but seems unlikely

[dark saddle]

Anyone done a case made of Concrete?

[placid blaze]

watching my stems sway every time I place them down after lubing hoping they don't all create a rat king of stems

😭

Wooting moment

[wispy wharf]

They made a boat out of it

[dark saddle]

lol

[wispy wharf]

You just have a pile of lubed stems?

[dark saddle]

[wispy wharf]

What is this a bachelorette party

[normal schooner]

[placid blaze]

they're separated like like 5mm or so in my switch station

[wispy wharf]

Are they in little pockets

[placid blaze]

so every time I'm about to place a new stem down there's the chance that they all create a gigantic stem tumour

[wispy wharf]

Or you send them flying

[placid blaze]

yep, but the magnets are facing up 😅

true

[dark saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/dance-gavin-dance-rats-synergy-dgd-rat-king-gif-25744920

[wispy wharf]

Rat king makes me think of shadow run Hong Kong

[dark saddle]

Makes me think of Lunacid

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/lunacid/images/d/d4/RatKing.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20230212032700

[placid blaze]

literally this but all my stem rails have 205g0 on them so it's a slippery mess every time I take them apart

[wispy wharf]

Did u bag lube your sprongs

[placid blaze]

yessir

105g0 5 drops and shook it like a madman for 5-10 mins

[wraith ice]

That sounds great!

[placid blaze]

also the design of the Lekkers has me wondering why we don't have maglev keyboard switches outside of analog switch keyboards

we could totally have maglev switches and remove the spring component entirely though I suppose it'd be hard to get even force set up

[wispy wharf]

Yes'm to you

[wispy wharf]

They make shakers I think

Like the Boba tea ones

[wispy wharf]

Magnetic fields don't work like that

[chrome vessel]

what's a case y'all rec? I see the psd is commonly used

[bright spruce]

its most commonly used cuz its the easiest to actually buy

pretty sure the actually most popular ones are the tofu60 the klippe t and the fjell

[placid blaze]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_Ym9528awM

[tall hollow]

ah yes, maglev switches

[placid blaze]

proof of concept definitely exists but they sound awful

[tall hollow]

they're 3d printed

what do you expect lmao

[normal schooner]

sounds cool

doesnt work

[tall hollow]

lol yeah, lets see where this kickstarter goes.

[normal schooner]

I mean yes, but I think you will run into issues later

we shall see

From what I learned in my mech engineering classes

a product should solve 1 problem

for sure if they hire Drew Pavlou

XDD

[placid blaze]

I'm so tempted to bag lube the stems

the tediousness of modding switches is getting to me

LOL

I don't have experience fisting jars of mayo

but I'll take your word for it

[mental hemlock]

Bro, If I were you I’d lube the bottom housing as well

Yours will sound better than the majority of people that just lube the stems

No need for films either

[placid blaze]

I have lubed my bottom housing

can't bag lube those though

[mental hemlock]

Perfect

Yeah unfortunately

Bag lube the springs then and that’s it

And light on the stems

You’ll love it

[placid blaze]

yeah, I tested some of the switches with my ghetto silicone application and it seems pretty good honestly, even with films the software works well

but getting rid of excess silicone is a pain

[mental hemlock]

I can’t wait to hear it brother

I know it’s gonna sound great

[tall hollow]

indeed

[placid blaze]

yeah I've been neurotically planning it out for ages

still need the pcb/plate silicone to come in but the foam is rlly good anyways

[mental hemlock]

Mr @tall hollow, what do you think about the new PC plate?

[tall hollow]

pretty nice!

[shut aurora]

what is the best type of case for a keyboard ?

[tall hollow]

Aluminum

Well actually

[austere creek]

aluminium*

[tall hollow]

Depends on your preference

[tall hollow]

I’m American, deal with it

[bronze grove]

Even America agreed for a while.

[idle warren]

This is heresy, I tried it once and it is not worth it lmao. Unless you dont mind cleaning the tops with a wet wipe

[tall hollow]

~~ actually the correct way to describe it is 铝子~~

[idle warren]

https://tenor.com/view/nerd-ackchyually-actually-gif-11156171

The correct term is (AI)

[mental hemlock]

Aluminum boys rise up

[tall hollow]

Aluminum!!!!

[placid blaze]

I don't mind cleaning the tops, my bigger worry was the bottoms

too late now tho, I'm like 21 switches in

[lucid owl]

Thanks man 🥰

[stray tiger]

I can't decide if I dislike lubing switches or if I enjoy the down time of not thinking about anything else.

[mental hemlock]

Probably the latter

[fading holly]

I really tried enjoying the process but... the best thing about it was putting the board back together. 😄

[stray tiger]

I couldnt even tell you how many I've lubed over the years but I can tell you this is my 3rd time lubing lekkers. Going to try bag lubing the springs this time around and testing out some films to see how it goes.

[fading holly]

I've had to look up bag lubing. First time I hear about this. Is this just something you do on the springs or other components as well?

[stray tiger]

Springs only but I'm trying to knock this job out quickly so I'm cheating on the rails too and will probably skip the stems since I'm heavily bag lubing the springs . Just stick em together and knock out the rails in a group lol

[bronze grove]

https://tenor.com/view/cheater-rhop-gizelle-gif-6039880

[tall hollow]

magonots

[tall hollow]

also how are the wuque films?

[stray tiger]

I already took a lunch break so no idea yet.

[tall hollow]

oh lol

well I hope it goes well for you!

[stray tiger]

They will either fit well or they won't! I'll keep you posted. The switch tripods though are a big no. Don't bother with those.

[tall hollow]

lmao

yeah bad seed had a hard time with those

[stray tiger]

Oh I didn't even see that or I'd have skipped them lol

[tall hollow]

ah, lol

[stray tiger]

@tall hollow not sure how well you can see these with my potato camera

[mental hemlock]

clear as day bro

[tall hollow]

no yeah, my films deformed as well

but I was still able to snap the housings together

[stray tiger]

I'm sure they will snap together. When I'm do e lubing I'll film a few and see what it feels and sounds like

[tall hollow]

aight

[mental hemlock]

Please do, would like to see how they sound

[tall hollow]

it might sound like mine, because ive filmed my switches and put on switch pads as well.

[stray tiger]

I won't have any pads and these switches won't be going into a build until my plate gets here next week but I'll do a comparison of one or two in one of the already built boards

[tall hollow]

I see

[mental hemlock]

I wish you luck bro

Aluminum plate?

@stray tiger

[stray tiger]

Yes, that's my preferred when I go customs cut because FR4, Titanium and Carbon fiber are 3x as much. I can get an aluminum plate cut for $50 and the others are $150+

[mental hemlock]

Ah ok

That’s awesome

[hot kayak]

I use wuque films also, pretty solid once its in

[lethal temple]

Have you considered custom keyboard sites that have a connection to a manufacturer? My carbon fiber plate was $53 after shipping/tax, fr4 was same price

https://omegatype.co/en-us/products/custom-cut-plates?variant=43442243010734

https://cbbplanet.com/products/custom-plates?variant=41050021265585

[stray tiger]

I'm sure there are cheaper places out there. This is a US based company that I know and have done business with for a long time and the turnaround time is usually a week (plus I like aluminum!)

[river reef]

Does it get rid of the wobble?

[wispy wharf]

Rat king

[hot kayak]

Not completely but gets rid of a lot of the wobble id say, more of the wobbles comes from stem being so skinny im pretty sure if anyone can confirm

But ye films help a lot

[hot kayak]

Did u just send the github files and was it easy to install?

[river reef]

Yea the stem needs improvement

Maybe change to those dustproof stems

[stray tiger]

If you guys missed the stream earlier this week Erik mentioned that the batches of switches arriving soon have a little better tolerances and be closer to the original designed spec and the stem wobble should be improved.

[river reef]

Yea but that means we gotta spend more and re lube everything again lol

[stray tiger]

These wuque films do warp when installing but the case does snap together ok. No reduction in stem wobble and my housings were already pretty tight.

[river reef]

My switch housing wobbles on the plate

[stray tiger]

He said it's not worth buying new switches.

[river reef]

And the stem made it worse

[stray tiger]

Wobbling on the plate won't be reduced with films. You can always put some thin tape on the plate cutouts if your plate wobble is excessive

[river reef]

But yea idk, got the drunkdeer A75 last week and it has no wobble

[wispy wharf]

So it'll be better but not enough to replace

[tall hollow]

This

[tall hollow]

Nah. Keep your current switches. The difference is very marginal.

[lethal temple]

You attach the plate file to the order. to install the plate, keep in mind that you need to purchase standoffs and screws that can enter the plate, like this https://kbdfans.com/products/kbdfans-m2-3-countersunk-flat-head-screw-kit

[wispy wharf]

I don't have my board yet. Said mod July when ordered. Is the stem wobble like unbearably bad?

[tall hollow]

It’s ok

It’s not the worst, but also not the best.

I’d say it’s about “average” amount of wobble.

[wispy wharf]

Like cherry amounts of wobbly or?

[stray tiger]

They are very similar to the popular Gateron milky yellows. Not excessive by any means but not as tight as box stems

[river reef]

Box stem would make it a lot better

[wispy wharf]

So like a typical gateron level

[river reef]

If anything slightly worse

[wispy wharf]

Hmm

Concerning

[river reef]

Like my space bar can do this nodding wobble

And so can my esc key

[wispy wharf]

That happens on my ducky board with the spacebar

Lot of the keys are pretty wobbly

[river reef]

Idk but my ducky one two mini didnt do that

[wispy wharf]

I have the regular one 2

[river reef]

It reminds me of old razer keyboard

[wispy wharf]

Housings on a lot of the switches are loose

Maybe a bad batch

[wispy wharf]

Your wooting types as shit as a razer?

[river reef]

Like the wobble is as bad

But other than that its fine

[wispy wharf]

And it's unfixable

[river reef]

Yea thats the thing

[wispy wharf]

Gross

[river reef]

I guess a little wobble helps if u do 0.1mm actuation tho

So you just wiggle it a little and it triggers

[wispy wharf]

That sounds like a bad thing

[river reef]

Dont actually have to push it down

[wispy wharf]

That sounds very bad

[river reef]

I mean like unless you are just sitting there fiddling with the space bar

Its ok

No accidental actuation

[wispy wharf]

Should I just get a different board

That can use better switches

[river reef]

Its not bad by any mean

[wispy wharf]

Ok

[river reef]

And software is great

[wispy wharf]

Ok

[river reef]

I also got the drunkdeer A75 last week

[wispy wharf]

But does it type better than cherry

[river reef]

Theres no wobble

But no rapid trigger either

I can tell the dif in game

What do you mean by type better than cherry

Cherry has never really been that great(?

Or am i missing something

[wispy wharf]

i mean like

does the wobble make typing on it worse than mediocre switches

[placid blaze]

I haven't used a lot of keyboards but the Wooting 60HE is the only keyboard I've ever typed over 160WPM on

[wispy wharf]

whoa

[placid blaze]

other keyboards I could do 130-150

[wispy wharf]

rapid trigger?

[placid blaze]

yeah, but rapid trigger doesn't help a TON for typing speed

I think it's just the custom actuation

except for the spacebar maybe

[wispy wharf]

do u have a custom actuation different for different switches

[placid blaze]

not for typing

it's useful for games though

WASD on 0.6mm compared to everything else at 1mm for example

[wispy wharf]

but does it feel good

[placid blaze]

in terms of feel the Wooting 60HE is the best feeling keyboard I've ever type on/played with

I have not used a large variety of boards though other than doing typing tests at ppl's houses 😅

[wispy wharf]

so the wobble doesn't hinder that

[placid blaze]

honestly the stem wobble is annoying but it doesn't affect the keyboard to a point where it's noticeably less enjoyable only due to the stem wobble

that being said in a perfect world it wouldn't have any stem wobble

they are definitely the wobbliest stems I've ever used, but the raw performance of the board outmatches that in my experience, YMMV

[wispy wharf]

i feel like i might go insane

[glossy pagoda]

The fact that there is some amount of wobble in the stems is in part a design choice related to the construction of the stem itself for the purpose of creating a buttery smooth typing experience.

[wispy wharf]

like maybe tight housing and loose stem is better than the other way around

[wispy wharf]

looser stem = smoother travel

[glossy pagoda]

Out of the box, factory lubed, the switches feel pretty great. But the keyboard simply isn't going to compete with a true top of the line custom with a custom lube job

[placid blaze]

So I can't comment on whether or not that's just marketing jargon but I can't disagree since it is my favourite keyboard to type on hands down

for all intents and purposes the loose stems could contribute to that

[wispy wharf]

well as long as it feels better to type on than what i have now i will see

[river reef]

The thing is like

[placid blaze]

if it's specifically for typing the A75 will likely give you the same experience

[river reef]

The keyboard has a lot of things great about it

[placid blaze]

if you want to be an epic gamer though the Wooting beats everything imho

plus you can mod it

[river reef]

And the smallest issue gets amplified

[glossy pagoda]

Worst case, if it's not for you, you can always return for any reason within 30 days and get a full refund, just have to cover the return shipping costs in that scenario

[river reef]

A75 cant do case swap which is kinda bad

Cos its light af

Im gonna get some tyre balance weight for it

But A75 def have better acoustic

[wispy wharf]

if there is a defect is rma shipping covered

[placid blaze]

yeah I'm waiting for a Wooting that fits the 40% PCB standard

would be the best keyboard of all time at least in my eyes 🥲

[wispy wharf]

this is a good point

[glossy pagoda]

Yes, warranty based returns and replacements get prepaid shipping labels

[river reef]

@glossy pagoda apparently drunkdeer is gonna implement rapid trigger soon

[wispy wharf]

would tape mod be single biggest sound improvement mod?

[glossy pagoda]

There's a video on this on our Youtube channel somewhere

[wispy wharf]

i saw it but there are a lot of mod videos

[placid blaze]

in my experience having freshly moid

ded my kb today, it'd be lubing tbh

[wispy wharf]

ok that makes sense

[glossy pagoda]

I welcome all keyboard companies developing their own implementation of rapid trigger. It's not trademarked or patented because it's too damn good to just be limited to Wooting.

[placid blaze]

that and anything to stop stab rattle since we use the spacebar so often

[tall hollow]

yeah, drunkdeer also makes hall effect heybopards. makes sense.

[wispy wharf]

the stab rattle on my ducky spacebar is very bad since the bar is very not straight

[river reef]

Thats really cool of you guys not patenting rapud trigger

[wispy wharf]

i would straighten it if i didn't have to solder to do so

[tall hollow]

their switch looks somewhat like what the original lekker switch looked like.

[river reef]

I mean it looks identical to omnipoint switch

And its from razer switch oem i believe

[tall hollow]

the og omnipoint switches?

eh, not really, their switches have a box design.

[river reef]

The one has magnet on the side instead of middle like wooting

[dark saddle]

Box design best design

[river reef]

Box would have less wobble yea

[tall hollow]

yeah, honestly its pretty smart to put it to the center of the switch. albeit at the sacrifice of having to make custom springs.

[river reef]

Biggest complaint about drunkdeer is the case feel so cheap and light

Other than that it feels quite good

[icy apex]

Any recommended cases for moding the 60he? I did some digging and found the freebird60 and KlippeT60 but I was wondering if there are any other compatible options in stock.

[tall hollow]

sound?

[river reef]

Mine came with zero stab rattle

[tall hollow]

Tofu60

PSD60

lemme link you to the list of compatible cases

https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f

[river reef]

If u search it up on yt

Theres plenty

Can confirm that is exactly how it sounds like

Out of the box

Its hilariously well done for a cheap feeling board

[tall hollow]

the spring ping

[river reef]

I mean

I got it for like 120usd

I think i can live with spring ping

[tall hollow]

lol

a little lube can help with that

[river reef]

And the sound is more from the empty as case

[tall hollow]

what matters is what we can innovate next.

[river reef]

I put some silicone pads in it and it sounded much cleaner

[tall hollow]

nice

[wispy wharf]

silicone pads?

[river reef]

Will see how it goes today after I put tyre weight in it

[normal schooner]

[river reef]

Couldnt find any store that has lead weight

[normal schooner]

fishing shops sell lead weight

[tall hollow]

hello Ardenwenn

[river reef]

Nah it has to be like 3mm thickness

So tyre weight is perfect

[normal schooner]

haii haii

[river reef]

But all the mechanic workshop that give a shit about worker safety changed to use powder coated iron instead of lead

[normal schooner]

hahaha

sounds all too familiar

[tall hollow]

how are ya?

[normal schooner]

I went climbing with a friend. my office worker body is not used to this. it hurts

next week going again

how are you

[tall hollow]

just chilling

[normal schooner]

[tall hollow]

also sound test of your wooter when?

[normal schooner]

broo i need to lube my keeb

but i cant find time

[tall hollow]

lolz

[lucid owl]

bad excuse

There is always time, wether you spread it out or do it all at once

[stray tiger]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399

[normal schooner]

good one

[lucid owl]

These have been like this for 2 days

Prob have time to lube 10-20 tomorrow

[tall hollow]

lmao

[lucid owl]

Just work at your own pace and lubing can actually be fun or chill

most of the time I actually find time to lube some during my customer service work activities

[stray tiger]

I've been going for an hour today on and off so far and only about 25 done but they are all disassembled and springs are lubed

[normal schooner]

niceee ur the best

[lucid owl]

I hope you just bag or container lube the springs 🙏

[tall hollow]

Noice

[stray tiger]

OK back to lubing. Got derailed making dinner. Greek lemon chicken soup with orzo and roasted red pepper humus

[tall hollow]

Nice!

[mint oracle]

Hey all, Ive checked the subreddit and searched in chat history but I havent seen anything where I can buy stiffer springs for my Lekker switch analog keys to help control the analog movement

Can anyone refer me to where I could get custom springs for the Lekker switches?

Would like to try stiffer springs

[stray tiger]

There may be some out there but nothing from Wooting. If you attempt to source them yourself remember they are a larger diameter than normal springs and they must not interact with magnets

[mint oracle]

Thank you, thats what im hoping to find out from someone with more experience on if they have a good seller for non-magnetic stiffer springs that fit the lekker switches. I dont know what material or diameter i should go for

Or where to look

[mental hemlock]

the same material Wooting springs are made of

[shell geode]

@tall hollow Hey man! I forgot but you did the silicone mod where you applied a small amount of silicone to the top housing?

[mental hemlock]

@stray tiger

[somber scroll]

Hot damn. Do you have a recipe for both lol

[tall hollow]

I tried it and I didn’t like it very much.

[frozen estuary]

I just realized that since every key has a light, you could technically make (vague) pixelart

Also, where do people find those 3d keycaps, like the ones that are mostly used for the Esc key only.

[sullen root]

check out etsy and search for 3d keycaps
there are even offers for custom ones if you do not like the ones listed

[grizzled path]

your lube looks weird

[frozen estuary]

Oo I forgot about Etsy, Thanks!

[lament turret]

Anyone put the 60he in a normal ducky one 2 mini case?

[normal schooner]

you could try the search bar and dm the person asking politely for their toughts @lament turret

[placid blaze]

this is the content this channel needs

🤝

[teal hill]

They are mainly either associated with GMK keycapsets, or they get handmade!

https://keycap-archivist.com/

If you look on this website, and have a peek at some random makers, you can see their designs

Anyways! GMK Hallyu comin in today

[obsidian dagger]

kinda sad how theres thousands of cool keycaps but few can be had. cool site tho

[glacial seal]

Majority are one off group buys

[stray tiger]

The world of artisans is crazy. You can always find people selling some and changing up their collections but artisans are usually fairly pricy can can range between $50-$100's per cap.

I used to have over a hundred and Ive reduced down to about 20-30 now

[idle warren]

Has anyone experimented with PE foam? I bought some IXPE foam but have no clue if it could cause issues

For case foam? No issue

[idle warren]

On top of the pcb, So pcb, IXPE, regular plate foam

it's 0.5mm thick

[stray tiger]

Go for it. Some people have reported odd input issues when replacing the plate foam but assuming it doesnt change the spacing between between the PCB and plate (meaning you can still screw all of the standoffs back together fully) it should work fine in theory.

[idle warren]

Makes sense. I'll give it a try once it arrives. Thanks for info chief!

[stray tiger]

Pinterest is where I got em from lol

[mental hemlock]

Since we’re sharing food

A nice and simple shrimp Alfredo with Angel hair, not pretty but heartwarming

[teal hill]

Most ive spent is 400 before shipping

Hallyu has arrived!!

[umbral quest]

What would you say is the best budget aluminum white keyboard case you can buy right now, obv for wooting 60he. Tofu 2.0 is quite expensive.

[stray tiger]

Tofu2.0 is not compatible

[normal schooner]

imo theres no best budget

[mental hemlock]

Theyre selling the tofu 1.0 in white on some website

if not get the psd60

@umbral quest

[umbral quest]

Thanks

[umbral quest]

Sry

[mental hemlock]

to be frank i cant see that channel unless you mention it

ask mansen to make it more known

[stray tiger]

It's in open review so I havent pinned it yet

[mental hemlock]

okok

[shell raft]

is it not or it requires purchase of pc plate with gasket mounts instead of included steel plate?

[stray tiger]

Its a center USB layout board and not left side USB layout (e.g. GH60/DZ60)

[shell raft]

ohhhh

😦

[stray tiger]

There are top/gasket mount boards out there that would work if you create a custom plate and have it cut, but the Tofu2.0 isnt one of them

[tall hollow]

Unless you wanna solder on a daughterboard.

[obsidian dagger]

has anyone found some keycaps for the macro keys on the 2HE? I could just leave them as-is but I'd like to get them more in line with my other keycaps. However, I can barely find any for these keys. Blanks are an option but maybe I'm not searching in the right places.

[bronze grove]

I mean they're just bogstandard R(ow)4 keycaps in OEM profile.

Could always invest in the NFTs of keyboard enthusiasts, artisan keycaps 😄

40 bucks a pop or more.

[obsidian dagger]

yeah those are a bit too expensive for me. I'd ideally just like something like that in various colors or sth

novelty sets have few r1s

I just found it odd that so few sets have these keys.

[teal hill]

You can just get a random PBTfans keycapset

They cost like

80 bucks for a full set and mostly have like the macro caps

[leaden cove]

guys

for stabilizers

6.25U or 7U?

[stray tiger]

A lot of the more expensive kits will sell the macros as an add-on (mainly GMk)

6.25u

[obsidian dagger]

I have a pbtfans set actually, but most of them i saw had no media/macro keys. maybe I just looked at the wrong ones though

[teal hill]

6.25u

[leaden cove]

thanks bro

[teal hill]

[teal hill]

Or buy a novelty set for any gmk set

[leaden cove]

i forgot

what size?

[teal hill]

6.25u

[shell geode]

I tested on one switch last night, I waited 30 minutes after application to put the switch together so the stem can flatten the blob before curing, it sounds good so far, I'll pop it on a key and play a game to test it. I left it as a blob last time, and the upstroke was too muted and wasn't satisfying

[leaden cove]

1.6T vs 1.2T

[teal hill]

1.6

[obsidian dagger]

yeah that seems like the best option. just haven't found one I like and is in stock yet sadly

[teal hill]

That means size of PCB

[stray tiger]

Depends on the sets with PBTfans. A lot of the higher end PBTfans sets will also sell the macro keycap as an add-on. For example https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-doubleshot-tripleshot-kabuki-cho

[teal hill]

So 1.6 for the wooting iirc

[leaden cove]

for 60he

is it the same?

[teal hill]

ye

[leaden cove]

thanks again guysa

[obsidian dagger]

I'm confused, I only see relegndables and novelty, no media/macros

[stray tiger]

I'm saying that not all PBTfans sets are all-inclusive, some do have add-on kits such as that example.

[leaden cove]

are this stabs good?

TX Stabilizers (Rev 3)

[obsidian dagger]

ah okay. Yeah I already had to buy international and numpad for mine...

[stray tiger]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399

[teal hill]

YEP they are

[stray tiger]

They might be good stabs but not good for the 60HE

[somber scroll]

Hell yes my caps are coming

[teal hill]

theyre good stabs in general

Why bad for wooting

[teal hill]

Nice!

[stray tiger]

Because they are not plate mount stabs

[teal hill]

Oh like that

[leaden cove]

guys

is this case compatible with 60he?

[teal hill]

yo

[stray tiger]

That case doesnt look compatible. The stand-offs are in the wrong location

[teal hill]

yeah stand-offs are in the wrong place

where to find plate file? i want to make one for frog mini compat

[hot kayak]

Check #🪛│modding_faq

[chrome vessel]

merci thank you

[stray tiger]

That file is provided with the disclaimer that it should be verified and reviewed by you and I make no promises that it will work. While I had no issues with it that doesnt mean you won't. As always, try 3d printing it first before paying to have one cut.

[chrome vessel]

thank you for the heads up - I just seen that it works with frog mini and i liked how my frog mini felt for typing hence to why i want to stick with it

[glacial seal]

Is that ansi? Froge is on my list
