[glossy pagoda]

If you use our lube then no

Pretty sure it does too but modding is not my area of expertise

And I'm about to log off so someone else will need to offer better guidance

[somber scroll]

Yeah it shows it at 9:50. Doesn’t show him taking the wire out but you should be able to do the opposite of putting it back together

[placid blaze]

just twist and pull

[dim kiln]

thx

im to dumb to put the stabilizers on the wire😂

i dont get it

[somber scroll]

You can’t put them back together or pull them apart?

[bronze grove]

Youtube it. It's quite easy once you know the movement.

[dim kiln]

ye i have to try i guess

thanks

[untold grove]

Hopefully this is the right place to ask, just got the wooting60he and was planning on getting a tofu but the 2.0 isnt compatible with the wooting and the 1.0 that is compatible is discontinued so i cant go with tofu anymore right?

[still vortex]

You can try to find a used tofu v1, but the chances of getting one at decent price is low now

[median crow]

lol, you're damn right but jokes aside, it's hard to pick out switches

[untold grove]

saw a couple people talking about these pudding keycaps https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=5790 but seems like multiple reviews stating QC is pretty shotty. Anyone know a reputable pudding keycap retailer?

[median crow]

hyperx ig

[gentle silo]

they are all equally bad, just get either hyperx, steelseries or the ducky ones

[untold grove]

Sad day 😆 🤣

[shell geode]

What are you looking for in a switch?

[native linden]

So i want to search for keycaps are there things i need to look out for?

Or can every keycap go in the wooting keyboard?

Im btw very new into this keyboard thing🙈

[dapper nebula]

hey guys, does overlubing the keyboard affect the speed ? feel like i used to much

[river reef]

If u dont want injection mold mark

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMadTH2

These are good

I have quite a few sets of pudding keycaps

If u want reverse pudding set theres those too

[river reef]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtb3J0C

[untold grove]

That last one you posted is more so what I'm after

Looks so pretty

[river reef]

Thats the first link

Little more expensive

But better than other brands

I had glorious aura v2 and steelseries ones

But these are better

[untold grove]

And there's no dark/dim spots on the seams of those keys?

[river reef]

You mean the legend?

There still is like on Q or B

If u get white pudding they much less obvious

Black ones you'll have to live with it

Its better than broken legend

If u zoom in on O u can see it

But yea all pudding keycap have those

They're required for doubleshot to work

These are akko ASA pbt

U can still see the dark spots on B

Pbt doubleshot is annoying like that

[mental hemlock]

Trying some cheap Amazon tactiles

I didn’t know that a keyboard could actually feel good

Lol

Not a bad sound at all

[median crow]

i'm looking for i guess a deep sound profile and smooth feel to it? i've kinda picked out some but i'm not sure if they're any good

[shell geode]

Whatcha got so far? Im also looking for a deep sound and are waiting for my Oil Kings to come in

[median crow]

AKKO Jelly Black
Gateron Oil King
Gateron Black Ink V2
Gateron Box Ink Black
OPBlack Switches
JWK Black Switches
Durock POM

idk these are just some popular ones that people tell me i should be getting

but idk how to narrow them down 😅

[shell geode]

Wow, you are on a mission!

I hear Oil Kings are a great choice

[median crow]

alright thank you so much

[shell geode]

No problem, I'm waiting to try mine too!

[median crow]

can i ask what's ur build?

[shell geode]

@median crow Sure! It's not Wooting modding, so I'll dm you

[median crow]

alr

[tulip topaz]

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805451371831.html

would this be any good

[eternal heron]

Can anyone help me with this stripped screw

[lilac kelp]

In PC Blade60 🙂

[bronze grove]

https://youtu.be/DyHdEP6IeBA

Make sure you're using a PH0 Philips screwdriver.

[marble shuttle]

@bronze grove ahaahhajja he just like me fr

Good luck for him

Same screw

[eternal heron]

did this happen to you?

[marble shuttle]

yeah @eternal heron keep trying

I didnt do anything just I did pressure and trying to remove

[eternal heron]

what screwdriver did you use?

[marble shuttle]

ph00

x50mm

[eternal heron]

how can i tell if it is coming out

[dim kiln]

i ordered wrong keycaps… the only cap that misses is the enter keycap i need a iso de keycap someone know the best possible way to get the keycap and that it fits to the others?

[bronze grove]

What layout of keyboard did you order exactly, and what keycap layout/language did you order?

[dim kiln]

ordered the german keyboard and bought

this set

[bronze grove]

If it didn't come with ISO keycaps, then you're kind of shit out of luck.

Finding ones that match remotely is going to be nigh impossible.

[dim kiln]

are there enter iso artisan keycaps?

i tried my white enter iso key from my ducky but idk whz it doesn’t fit

[bronze grove]

I'm sure you can find some on Etsy or Aliexpress. Though I can't promise you they will colour match very well.

[dim kiln]

ok thx do you know why my enter keycap from the ducky doenst fit into it… it is the same layout

it fits perfectly but if i want to pres it down there is no click

[shrewd lagoon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vhpHjlkRgQ would anyone recommend this on the wooting?

/ has any wooting staff member done this?

[bronze grove]

https://youtu.be/zB9U0QQrNF0

FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK

[shrewd lagoon]

OH 😂 i didn't see this video thanks for that, but i did see that this is putting the bandaid underneath the stabs and the above guide is putting the bandaid inside the stabs

and since it is a plate stab was wondering if we can take it apart like other stabs like pcb etc.

[chrome garden]

yes most stabs fundamentally work the same, the just have different mounts

[onyx pier]

Poseidon psd60 case if anyone needs most of the colour is still available https://m.tb.cn/h.UC7O8Rb?tk=o2vSdqnkipN

[bronze grove]

Oh that's a good point. I missed that 🙂

[alpine hull]

Hey, I‘m new here an just wanted to ask how the GH60 compares to the Tofu60 in terms of quality

Or now that the Tofu60 is not really available anymore: what is the best alternative? (quality wise)

[marble shuttle]

klippe t

if you have moneyt

[left patrol]

I think thats too much money for a case

[marble shuttle]

nah just shipping is little bit annoying

70 dolar for shipping too much 130 dolar for case its not bad

and literally same as tofu60 looking

[pulsar ridge]

https://www.marboard.net/shop/p/marboard-1

There's a marble board GB going that'll fit if you want something ritzy

[left patrol]

My personal limit is somewhere between 70-100€ for the case

In the end it’s just a cnc manufactured block of aluminum

[bronze grove]

Which is why the prices are what they are 😄

That doesn't come cheap.

[tepid tangle]

Thats some very German cleaning alcohol you got there.

[pulsar ridge]

I mean a keyboard is just plastic and diodes, but you paid how much? I think you're grossly underestimating how much effort goes into producing these things.

[bronze grove]

Dutch?

[tepid tangle]

It looked german to me 😄 I may have missed the dutch labels

[normal schooner]

hope we dont have too many ik_ihe reddit users here

dutch version of ich_iel

[fossil vale]

The tofu65 plate works with ?

[normal schooner]

with 65% keyboards

??

[fossil vale]

Yea with the wooting

[left patrol]

Yeah that could be the case. But how much did the tofu 60 cost?

70-90$

?

[dim kiln]

i dont know what to do with the enter key

someone got an idea for the keycap?

[left patrol]

Has the manufacturer a iso set of keycaps?

[dim kiln]

no

[elder hollow]

What do you guys think of this keycap combo? Been shuffling keys around for like an hour lol

[river reef]

Make your own case then,or better, make it cheaper and let us buy it, stop us from getting "scammed" by these manufacturers

Jokes aside I dont think some people realise how annoying it is to get anodising to be perfect consistently.

[wise hill]

just got my wooting, can i put normal o-rings on the keycaps?

[bronze grove]

You CAN.

But it will obviously interfere with the actuation

[wise hill]

so put them on or leave it?

[bronze grove]

Try and see if you like it or not.

[wise hill]

alr, thanks 🙂

[bronze grove]

Can always put them on WASD only, and then compare with IJKL or another "cluster" and compare back and forth in a game.

[marble shuttle]

@wise hill thag oring looks big

Oh you putting inside of the keycap

[bronze grove]

On the switch stem essentially.

[bronze grove]

Or that I suppose.

[wise hill]

u supposed to do it differently?

😂

[bronze grove]

There are several ways.

[wise hill]

i‘ve had them for 5 years or so

used them on 2 diff keyboards so far

used it on my razer huntsman te aswell

omg the sound if this compared to my old huntsman te is so much cleaner not so plasticky and clacky

on the space key, put 3 o rings on or only 1?

[gentle silo]

These keycaps a yes or a no?

[bronze grove]

I love em.

[wise hill]

?

[bronze grove]

If you don't, the spacebar is probably going to wobble when pushed near the ends.

[shell raft]

They are great, Emperor's Children approved

I actually want them, but not for 165 euros

[gentle silo]

got them for 80$

[shell raft]

But clones or original?

[gentle silo]

no real, and sealed. Mykeyboard.eu sells suprise gmk sets rn, and i pulled that on. ive got another one on the way. there are some good and bad sets in there from gmk yeeti to olivia dark, merlin or tokyo nights

[shell raft]

So u are paying 80 euro for random gmk set?

[gentle silo]

basically, there are like 10 potential sets you can get

[shell raft]

Holy

How long this deal will last?

[gentle silo]

lemme check

until they are out of stock for this event. they prepared 300 sets and it still says 10+ in stock so idk https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/surprise-keycaps-set-base-kit-r2_8033/

[shell raft]

Thx man

[gentle silo]

olivia and tokyo night have been pulled already afaik

[shell raft]

Ok, but i like most of those sets

[gentle silo]

same for me, so it was a nobrainer to get one. i like all of them exept watermelon and yeeti

[untold grove]

I always am too sketch to buy clones of keys I've gotten like 3 sets of clones and they are always dog shit.

[gentle silo]

only clones id buy are gmk dots lol or just some wob\bow clones. i aint paying 150 for those

[untold grove]

Even alot of the gmk clones are really poor quality. For example gmk evil dolch. All the clones I found for it use a dark navy blue color instead of a bold Grey like the real evil dolch

Doesn't even come close to matching

[gentle silo]

yea alot of gmk clones are very bad quality

[untold grove]

With that being said if anyone has found an actual decent clone of some popular gmks I'd love to get links of them.

XD

[glacial wind]

Those looks really nice. Purple has been super popular lately, the purple pbtfans set sold insanely well

[gentle silo]

you mean the purpurite? yea they are nice too, got a set of retro dark lights aswell. these are the gmk monarch btw

[glacial wind]

Yeah purpurite was crazy popular

[gentle silo]

the darker purple goes with alot more then this more light color

[wraith orchid]

Hi
I've just arrived. I've ordered the full size Wooting and seeing this pinned post I wonder if a list like that exist for the "big" wooting ?
I haven't seen it mentionned in the #🪛│modding_faq or in the pinned post here

[bronze grove]

I'm afraid there's no common, shared standard for full-size keyboards like there are for 60%.

You'll basically have to design your own case and have it made somewhere.

Can still take it apart and paint it though. 🙂

[faint timber]

i loooove the colors which are these?

[gentle silo]

gmk monarch

[faint timber]

they are so expensive :c

i bought traitors tiger sketch

they will fit with the yellow wooting cable fantastic

[proper cargo]

any advice for when one of the screws won't undo on the pcb

[gentle silo]

thats true, i was also looking at these but i hate the font they use

[faint timber]

its "chinese"-ish-style

[gentle silo]

case screw or for the plate

[gentle silo]

yea im not the biggest fan of those but if you like them thats what counts

[proper cargo]

this one refuses to budge

[faint timber]

we will see, my wooting comes in like 7 days

[gentle silo]

what case is this

[proper cargo]

60 he, literally just got it

[gentle silo]

it just spins and doesnt undo or it doesnt spin at all?

[proper cargo]

doesn't spin

[bronze grove]

What size screwdriver are you using?

[proper cargo]

probably could do with a bigger handle but idk if i have one that small

others came undone fine

[bronze grove]

Does it say what kind of screw thread it is on the screwdriver?

[proper cargo]

no

[gentle silo]

so its atleast not stripped

[proper cargo]

na its not slipping out, just won't even turn

[bronze grove]

I would find a different screwdriver and make 100% sure you're using a Philips PH0.

[proper cargo]

aight I'll see if I can find one

ty

[gentle silo]

as im sure the wooting people didnt glue it in, id try with the correct screwdrive size again

[bronze grove]

Definitely don't try and force an unknown screwdriver into it. If it gets stripped, it'll be MUCH harder to remove.

We do include two replacement screws in case you lose one or it is damaged.

[faint timber]

can you recommend a screwdriver?

[gentle silo]

anything with a Philips PH0 bit

[normal schooner]

dude just buy a screwdriver set

[bronze grove]

Not... really? There's a million brands out there. I'd go to a local hardware store or look on Amazon? for one with a good looking grip.

[normal schooner]

every set has ph0

[bronze grove]

I bought this one from iFixit years ago. It has everything and more I need for consoles, most phones and other electronics.

It has a decent grip (and they make a version of the kit with a "thicker" screwdriver as well.

[faint timber]

thank you for the insight

[normal schooner]

or go to amazon buy screwdriver bit set

[wraith orchid]

the ifixit screwdriver kit is a life saver yes
I've bought the pro-tek tool kit years ago and used it dozen of times. Those are some real quality tools

[bronze grove]

It's great for everything except PCs 😄

[untold wigeon]

is there like someone i could send in my wooting to be modded?

[marble shuttle]

@untold wigeon you can do yourself

[untold wigeon]

nah

[marble shuttle]

why

[untold wigeon]

not my thing , probably will fuck it up , not enough time to find all the bits and pieces

[stoic sable]

question for anyone that has got a plate cut, how thick does the plate have to be? whats the thickness of the default wooting plate?
ik if you make it too thick or too thin the switches wont be seated very well

[pulsar ridge]

Bet you could just find someone friendly on r/mk in your area to help you with it

[untold wigeon]

thanks, ill try that.

[marble shuttle]

^but we would reccomanded for you do byyourself

you can wathc tutorial

because people might want insane moneys

[fossil vale]

The tofu65 case works with the wooting plate ?

Or do you have any recommandation ?

[thick mural]

i have like 6 ifixit sets

they have so many different sets so i bought as many as i needed, such good kits

[lyric wave]

Is it possible to buy a Blade 60 case in the EU?

[gentle silo]

no the tofu65 is a 65% keyboard

[gentle silo]

retail? No, second hand market, yes

[crimson sky]

which keycaps fit the lekker switches?

[gentle silo]

all keycaps that are compatible with a cherry mx style stem (so basically all of them)

[fluid ravine]

did a pe foam mod to my wooting T-T

[gentle silo]

how where the results, noticed any issues with the actuation or rappid trigger

[fluid ravine]

holy frick my spacebar was so clacky i went crazy
dunno why but i checked on it this morning it i could hear a little bit of the wire scratching on the pe foam (I cut squares for the housings) so i decided to cut the whole piece for the whole stabilizers

[fluid ravine]

no issues

on my first attempt which was a few months ago i did have some issues with the rappid trigger, noticed it was spamming keys and all that
but after some updates on the wootility software i decided to try again and now it works fine

👍

[gentle silo]

what pe foam did you use?

[fluid ravine]

one of those packing foams

wait now i feel dumb for some reason lol

these

[gentle silo]

any specific thickness?

[fluid ravine]

honestly im not sure

lemme check

i cant really give u precise measurements but i can guess by eyes

i think its 1mm

[fluid ravine]

if you were to try this id just say get a thin pe foam

i was thinking of getting switch foam but i didnt really want to spend money so i decided to do this

[gentle silo]

didnt like how switch pads sounded, currentlz i hve 1 layer of masking tape on my pcb lol

[fluid ravine]

masking tape barely does anything to the wooting it seems

i putted 3 layers 💀

so far i have done lubing, pe foam mod, tempest mod (3 layers), burger mount, bandaid mod, holee mod

[gentle silo]

not tape mod like on the switch side like the pe foam

[fluid ravine]

OHHHHHHHHH

does it help with the sound profile?

[gentle silo]

yes, way more then i ever expected

[fluid ravine]

bet im trying it then

[mental hemlock]

I have the same foam

I used it between the plate and PCB, not in a Wooting tho

[fluid ravine]

ive seen a comment on badseedtech but do i just put tape around the module? like between the plate, foam, and pcb?

[mental hemlock]

Wrap it

Try it

[fluid ravine]

oki oki

[mental hemlock]

How are you gang

[gentle silo]

it definetly makes a hughe difference, idk why with every mod i doo my modifier just sound and feel worse and worse

[fluid ravine]

you're not the only one

[gentle silo]

yea, i might just get new stabs tbh. ive relubed them so many times, they are so overlubed XD

[fluid ravine]

xd

oh btw i did the tape mod thingy

the chatter is getting less and less

omg

its getting better

[fluid ravine]

honestly ive beent hinking of doing the same

[fluid ravine]

did you change the case?

[gentle silo]

yes im in a wilba. tech salvation

[fluid ravine]

ah

sounds good

[gentle silo]

and running some gmk keycaps

[fluid ravine]

i see

overall experience?

[gentle silo]

pretty great, kecaps feel quality, legends are sharp no shining yet. case is insane, feels great, good bounce due to the leafspring mounting

[fluid ravine]

👍

[fluid ravine]

oh my

bootiful

im looking for cases that are in stock

but i have a $100 budget

rip

[gentle silo]

psd60

[fluid ravine]

they're out of stock :/

oh wait

[gentle silo]

silver is still instock, and the defender varaint aswell

[fluid ravine]

what site?

[gentle silo]

aliexpress

[fluid ravine]

xd

[gentle silo]

what happens when you click on the case in the right side bar (the one for 61 US) does it take you to the same page

[grizzled sable]

Is that switches still on stock

In the website you send a while ago

[fluid ravine]

oh-

[mental hemlock]

I hate shine on caps

That’s why I’m such a fan of blanks

Do “premium” keycaps get shine?

[gentle silo]

shining of the keycap materrial as gmk uses abs

[fluid ravine]

oop

[mental hemlock]

🤢🤢

[fluid ravine]

i gtg

aaaaaaaaaaa

[mental hemlock]

Why?

[fluid ravine]

eat

hungry

[grizzled sable]

Over heavon

[gentle silo]

yes

[grizzled sable]

Is it?

[gentle silo]

is what

[grizzled sable]

Is the swtiches still on stock in the website you sent a while ago

[gentle silo]

what switches? are you talking about the suprise keycap sale?

[grizzled sable]

The attatchmenr you sent earlier

[gentle silo]

no my switches arent stock, they are lubed and filmed. if thats what you mean

[grizzled sable]

Yeah i think

[gentle silo]

yes still live https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/surprise-keycaps-set-base-kit-r2_8033/

[grizzled sable]

No i mean like is there anywhere i can get those cheap

The attatchment you sent

[gentle silo]

yes you can buy them online. they arre called gmk monarch

[grizzled sable]

Wait a second why are there chances of getting of each one

[gentle silo]

this is a raffel set, where you get a random set out out of these if you want a specific set you have to buy that specific set directly

[grizzled sable]

What is the one that you had lubed and flimed

[gentle silo]

my switches

[grizzled sable]

Yeah

[gentle silo]

keycaps ≠ switches

[grizzled sable]

No i meant the keycaps

[gentle silo]

i thought you were talking about my switches, thats why i answerd this, doesnt have anything to do with keycaps

[grizzled sable]

Wait so you replaced the switches

[gentle silo]

no, i lubed and filmed them, these are very common mods people do to change the sound profile and feel of the switches. if you are interested in this just look it up on youtube

[grizzled sable]

I bought the wooting i just want to replace keycaps so it looks cooler

[gentle silo]

yes then do that

[mental hemlock]

What a roller coaster lol

[gentle silo]

[mental hemlock]

Bought some JWICK black tactiles

I’m trying to get a black alu case for cheap so I can do an all black build

Is anyone here interested in ITX cases?

[grizzled sable]

Is there anywhere i can buy the keycaps cheaper like aliexpress

[mental hemlock]

Got myself a Formd T1 for half off yesterday

!

[dull saddle]

question, what are my options for replacing the plate? cuz I can NOT handle the sound of the steel plate

[mental hemlock]

Wait for the module to release with a PC plate

[dull saddle]

that's unfortunate lol

[gentle silo]

not really, dont think there are clones out there for this set

[gentle silo]

you can get one ccutom made, other then that no

[dull saddle]

noted

[dull saddle]

thanks

[grizzled sable]

I mean take a look at mekibo.com

[mental hemlock]

Do you have a plan?

There’s a lot of guys on wootstations with custom plates

[grizzled sable]

It says it costs $45.00 to $330

[mental hemlock]

Tirade I think did one in alu or something

[gentle silo]

@dull saddle ive already done this, if you need some pointers dm me

[mental hemlock]

Wooting has its plate files online, maybe send it somewhere like sendcutsend to get whatever material you want

[dull saddle]

I'm considering ordering a klippe plate and giving it a shot cuz the assembly fits in the klippe case and it's the same layout so the plate should work in my mind

if it doesn't work then big whoop it's not a lot of money

[gentle silo]

the wootingplate files have to big/inconsistent standofff hole sizes, i have a version with fitting holes for m2 standoffs

[gentle silo]

yes, but the wooting pcb mount differently to the plate then a regular mechanical keyboard

so youd have to drill holes and oder a few standoffs

[dull saddle]

seems workable

[gentle silo]

these are made for this basiccally, if youy get all the holes right you can use these to mount the plate to the pcb https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005002102312212.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2deu

[dull saddle]

thanks man

[mental hemlock]

@gentle silo that’s why I mentioned sendcutsend, I think they can cut pretty much every material

[gentle silo]

titanium plate for that exxxxtra stiffness lol

[faint timber]

@gentle silo you are probably from the dach-region right? do you have other ISO DE keycap sets in mind? im asking because i want to build two different setups with my 60he. one is this yellow brown ish vibe with the traitors tiger sketch keycaps, the other one is still open

[gentle silo]

holz shit a brass plate would be like 150$

[mental hemlock]

Lmfao

Copper or brass >>

[gentle silo]

im from germany, its hard to find good iso de sets that doesnt break the bank. WHNkeye has a prertty comprehenssive list of iso de keycaps tho so maybe click yourself through that and see if you like any -> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rXRqqPXnqeKXgHhBMyj9QmdWzBW-Wf7GOsdJhHX8TNQ/edit

[gentle silo]

never tried copper

[mental hemlock]

I’m glad I’m waiting lol

[faint timber]

yo thank you so much, i will check it

[mental hemlock]

And not because I’m broke

Lol

[gentle silo]

dunno if copper is even a viable plate material, never seen it getting sold anywhere atleast

[mental hemlock]

:/

[dull saddle]

mode does it

[gentle silo]

oh really?

didnt know that

[dull saddle]

those are the plate options mode offers

[gentle silo]

i see, nice its definetly a more rare material for a plate tho.

brass and aluminium are quiet more common

[dull saddle]

@gentle silo I def shouldn't try to go for a POM or PC plate right? they too soft

[gentle silo]

the wooting module which will release soon will also have a pc plate should be fine i guess

[shell geode]

That deskmat looks familiar!

[dull saddle]

oh they workin on one? nice

[gentle silo]

yea, a module thos, pcb+plate+switches dont think they will sell it seperatly

[dull saddle]

u been really helpful btw, thanks for answering

[dull saddle]

noted

[gentle silo]

no problem

[shell geode]

Totally agree. The tooling probably costs $30k alone, not including the additional changes to perfect the cut

[gentle silo]

not forget someone has to operate the cnc, do anon or e-coat, do qc, do packaging and so on

[gentle silo]

and they need to make profit, on smaller runs profit margines need to be higher as they dont get good material prices and stuff

[shell raft]

do it or not?

[gentle silo]

how many sets do you like/not like

[shell geode]

Exactly, so if one says it's too much, it's because it's out of the budget or you simply can't afford it, but to say 'its just a blank' is disregarding the effort into bringing the idea to life

[shell raft]

out of those i really dont like Cobalt

and thats all

but i want to leave to myself 1 or 2 if i order 3

or 1 if i order 2

[gentle silo]

cobalt is fine imo. i orderd 2 got yeeti and monarch. traded the yeeti for devoted tho

[shell raft]

just like that with someone?

[gentle silo]

yea, im active on another dc and basically everone got yeeti and didnt want it exepet one person who wanted yeeti and didnt get it lol. so i traded with them, got lucky as i stood up pretty early today so i got the trade in time

[random haven]

Just finished this build. So happy with the way it turned out!

[marble shuttle]

@random haven keycaps link ?

[gentle silo]

e-grey tofu60?

[random haven]

Went with GMK Nines, tape mod, burger mount, 50g springs lubed with 105, syringe lubed stabs, lubed switches. Klippe T case with custom gray/cement cerakote and reused the case foam. Sounds and feels fantastic!

@marble shuttle sure one sec

[marble shuttle]

it is klippe t

[random haven]

@gentle silo custom Cement Cerakote Klippe T

https://kono.store/products/gmk-nines-keycap-set

These keycaps are killer. Especially in person. Fits the cement color really well. A gray case would also look great

[gentle silo]

ahh nice, looks exactly like the color on my tofu.

[random haven]

I have an E-White tofu for my work board and the finish/texture/matte look is very similar, you're right. This is just like a slightly textured wet cement or maybe primer color. Photos look a little lighter than real life

[fluid ravine]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

i wonder

🤣

[shell geode]

Wonder where you bought it? I don't remember where I got mine 😆

[fluid ravine]

mines 4 y/o 💀

[shell geode]

Same! Time for a new one, a Wooting one 👀

[fluid ravine]

[desert compass]

are there any recommendation for keycaps, preferably black or dark colors

also, i dont really like how the keys are at different elevation, is there a way to make it so the keys caps are at the same elevation

[gentle silo]

you mean like a dsa profile in this picture here?

[desert compass]

ya, keycaps like those but im pretty sure it is also because of the elevation of the case

[gentle silo]

so you want a flat typing angle?

[desert compass]

i am planning to buy an alunimum case but most i see also has the same elevation

[desert compass]

yes

[gentle silo]

as most cases arent the same typing angle, something like this doesnt really exist afaik. this is more down to your case id say. if you get a flat case and dsa caps this should be at the 0 degree mark

something like this:

the "feet" can be taken of so it lays flat

[desert compass]

would some thing this work since the black version of your is gone

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832354611283.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt

its from the case mod link from the modding faq

also has the "feet" you talked about which i can remove

[gentle silo]

yea, looks like the same case most likely its actually the same as i sent (the one from my link is a rebrand i guess)

[desert compass]

ok, are there any good dsa keycaps then?

[gentle silo]

i dont know any, i personally dont like dsa so i never looked into it tbh. you are on your own there.

[desert compass]

ok ty

[scenic dock]

has anyone tried the HK gaming pudding keycaps on the 60?

[mental hemlock]

blank black ones lol

[desert compass]

dont really want to type without the letters...

[mental hemlock]

Learn how to touch type

Its actually really easy and fun

and kinda cool to show your friends and mess with them when they ask where the legends are lol

[normal schooner]

there are none

[trim thunder]

Gonna get myself ZT60, does anyone knows good keycaps that are available thru tmall/taobao, since I'll be ordering from it ?

[austere cradle]

any1 know any

crimson red iso keycaps

[gentle silo]

any specific ISO?

[fluid ravine]

i am back babyyyyyyyyyyy

[austere cradle]

uk

[white flicker]

Hey, can I still use wooting travel case if i changed my keyboard case? Planning to buy psd60

[mental hemlock]

Anyone’s opinion on Oil Kings?

I got the Jwick black tactiles but I’m not sure about them for gaming

[gentle silo]

GMK Red Samurai sets should be iso compatible and instock, other then that maybe PBTfans pyga or gmk crimson cadet if you can find them

[austere cradle]

samura alot tho

[fluid ravine]

im guessing yes

should be big enough 👍

[white flicker]

Nice thanks 👍

[austere cradle]

thx

[gentle silo]

maybe something like this... gmk clones but if you are on a budget i guess fine. dunno about the quality -> https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005005213414495.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.11.409375ac7J9wjh&algo_pvid=8e52cee6-c770-484b-9596-308c0fe8fd31&algo_exp_id=8e52cee6-c770-484b-9596-308c0fe8fd31-5&pdp_npi=3%40dis!EUR!43.11!30.18!28.02!!!!%402100bbf516864434171641055d0745!12000032206779539!sea!DE!2495264082&curPageLogUid=9zTpdDo8TcgA

[austere cradle]

ill think abt them

[desert compass]

any know any good keycaps that are the same elevation all around

[gentle silo]

after a quick google search apparently https://pimpmykeyboard.com/ offers good dsa caps, they even got quiet a lot of colorways. but your out of luck if you are seaching for ISO caps

[desert compass]

i did some research myself, i need the ansi version so its fine and im not currently sure if the keyboard im using is xda or dsa

[gentle silo]

send a pic of the side profile of the caps

doesnt reallz matter tho, xda is basically just a more rounded dsa profile, so its basically just a difference in looks

[gentle silo]

those arent dsa nor xda they are some low profile stuff. doesnt look like a standard profile. maybe something propriotary

[desert compass]

its red dragon keyboard that i got through some free promo

lemme see if i can find it

[gentle silo]

yea doesnt really matter dsa and xda will most likely feel the same from a typing perspective, altho dsa will be closer

[desert compass]

https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K509-RGB-Keyboard-Mechanical-Illumination/dp/B07YNW3L2P/ref=sr_1_6?hvadid=570507507298&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9004379&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=12004270915722858141&hvtargid=kwd-635812096207&hydadcr=18004_13462264&keywords=redragon+s107&qid=1686444387&sr=8-6

the one im currently using

[gentle silo]

yea just some low profile propriotary keycaps, as said dsa caps would feel the closest on a normal sized baord.

from a typing perspective

[desert compass]

is there any other website for dsa

kinda also chasing for aestheics

[desert compass]

@gentle silo i think ill get only the case first since the keycaps are pretty expensive (some almost as expensive as the 60he keyboard), maybe ill get used to the keys and dont need to change it

[gentle silo]

Im sure you can finde some on aliexpress

[desert compass]

@gentle silo how different is dsa and xda

cause im finding more options for xda

[mental hemlock]

DSA>>>

DSA blanks

[obtuse latch]

is out of the box really good enough without any mods? i kinda just dont like the case being plastic and its kinda hard to find cases here in my country

[shell geode]

Pour has fully hardened and demold is complete! Still needs another week to dry and cure before I can drop in the pcb, but I'm looking forward to it! 👍

[ruby jasper]

good :)

[shrewd lagoon]

need some help

i need a 60% case for the wooting but all of them are sold out

https://www.carousell.sg/p/gh60-60-anodized-aluminium-low-profile-case-1131748247/?t-id=8k9dKck_Cd_1686470936369&t-referrer_browse_type=search_results&t-referrer_context=category_slp&t-referrer_request_id=ZkWc7YGGfe_WD-qK&t-referrer_search_query=gh60 case&t-referrer_source=search_landing&t-tap_index=0

[sturdy turtle]

is there a certain wire tipe compatible with wootings, I tried using my other cable and it has the same port end but I couldnt fit it into the port on the keyboard

[faint timber]

so whats your question?:D does it fit? yes, this case is listed on the wooting document for compatible cases. i ordered the exact one on amazon in this coffee brown color, just waiting for my wooting

[shrewd lagoon]

sorry yes i was asking if this would fit

[faint timber]

im not sure if the foam, which is included in the stock 60he, does fit. maybe you have to add a foam with a lower thickness

maybe i will cut the foam which the case is wrapped in

its pretty thin

[shrewd lagoon]

yeah jusat need to find a better case cause i can't seem to find any close to me that i can buy

@faint timber

since im from nz it takes forever for anything to get to me

[faint timber]

yea same here, im from germany and the popular cases like the tofu are pretty expensive with shipping(+ discontinued)

[shrewd lagoon]

exactly its kinda annoying cause i want a good case but all of them are lik eover $200 plus

[faint timber]

but the case you sent looks fine and especially it doenst look cheap

i will share my modded 60he here

you can wait for the official aluminium case from wooting themself

but it will take some time

[mental hemlock]

psd60

[lyric wave]

Goddamn the Mekanisk Fjell is 426$ including shipping and taxes.

[obtuse latch]

anyone got any idea on what mods that IS and IS NOT recommended for the wooting60he. much appreciated

[bronze grove]

#🪛│modding_faq is a good place to start.

[left shuttle]

you could try these https://www.amazon.com/Hyekit-Keycaps-Switches-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B0BCNTLBQN/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 they seem to have good reviews. found these while looking for a good gmk lunar clone

[obtuse latch]

thank you!

[untold grove]

Hey i appreciate you linking me to some, i actually saw these but if you look into the photos of the reviewers you can see that the keys that are supposed to be the "darker" gray/black variant actually are a dark navy blue that is very easy to notice. The issue i was having wasnt finding clones for the Evil Dolch set, it was finding clones that actually have ATLEAST the right colors lol. it seems none of the clone creators can get that grey/black color. ALL of them ive found have just replaced it with dark navy blue

[gentle silo]

You won’t find clones with the right colors, gmk produces with abs for a reason, and that is the great colors they can achieve. Clones most of the time are pbt which isn’t that great for vibrant colors and stuff. Also the clone manufacturers don’t go through the tedious process of colormatching until they have a perfect clone they just eyeball it.

This ist done to keep their cost down and profit margins high. Gmk Sets sometimes take years to get fulfilled because they colormatch for months sometimes just to get the perfect colors like in the initial gb post

[untold grove]

Yeah I understand that & I definitely have my expectations lowered I'm not expecting a true to life copy of a real gmk set. However I am atleast expecting the colors to match closely give or take a few shades.

If I want to do a burger mount, can I do it with stock screws?

whats the best lube for the wootign stabs and switches?

you could find lube set i

f you dont want to buy split

how bout the wires?>

[marble shuttle]

g105 for springs

[unkempt root]

are the Molykote EM-50L

good?

the one wooting reccoumends

[marble shuttle]

for stabs yeah

didnt tried I am waiting other mods come

[unkempt root]

is it best?

[glacial wind]

Best? Probably not, but it’s fine

[marble shuttle]

yeah agree with jed

[unkempt root]

What’s the best?

[marble shuttle]

there is no best if you do right will be good

[glacial wind]

Eh debatable, but honestly wooting stabs don’t really need any work - they’re so lubed already when they come

Debatable as in there’s a ton of good options that is

[marble shuttle]

@glacial wind where should uuse molykte should I keep stock lube

[bronze grove]

Molykote is thick and for the stabs.

[glacial wind]

I use xht-bdz normally for stabs instead but I didn’t even bother with the wooting because it had plenty of lube on it already

[marble shuttle]

lubing switch is enough i guess but want to use molykte too 😄

and springs too

[glacial wind]

Well the stabs are basically already totally covered

You can add more but it would likely do nothing

[unkempt root]

Are they good?

[glacial wind]

Lubing the switches themselves is very nice for smoothness though, since the factory lube isn’t much there

[unkempt root]

Yea imma just do extra cause I’m alr doing it and I cbf opening it up again

[dusky orchid]

I want to use a custom straight cable with my wooting, what length should I use if I want tachyon mode?

[bronze grove]

Any.

It's about how much LED brightness you expect.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8ojU_8ASVE

Long cables may have issues with voltage stability at higher levels of brightness. We generally see coiled cables (which add 2-3 feet of length on top of the normal 6ft or so) require to run at 70% LED or less.

[obtuse latch]

anyone using a psd60 case? hows the installation (provide pic pls)

[obtuse latch]

also how does it sound

[dim kiln]

easy

[royal sigil]

i swapped to psd60 defender which im pretty sure is the same installation process as the normal psd60. it was really easy but in terms of sound, modding the switches made much more of a difference

[gentle silo]

like with any other case, take out the 5 screw holding the pcb in -> lift up pcb-> put in new case -> screw 5 screws down again -> finished

[faint smelt]

Any good Keycaps with a nice Design for the 60he?

[tropic storm]

Would heavier 2 stage springs allow better control in the analog movement

[manic plume]

@dim kiln where’s the keycaps from?

[marble shuttle]

[elder trout]

oh yeah i used g102 for like a couple of months until viper mini came out

then used viper mini a lot until xtrfy mz1

then i kept tugging the cable and was afraid it'd snap so i started looking into wireless mouse

after pwnage symm 2 wireless and delux m800, here i am with finalmouse tenz and im good lmao

[marble shuttle]

I was against wireless before

[elder trout]

[elder trout]

my big brain bought it from a trustworthy

who i asked to meet

before making the purchase

so i could try it

first

met at a mcdonalds, brought a gaming laptop, tried everything

[stiff solar]

me when razer basilisk v3

[elder trout]

then paid MSRP which is still a bargain for me cuz i dont live in USA and would have paid import taxes anyway but i only paid MSRP without import taxes so i considered a win win XD

[elder trout]

yeah its good to meet your sellers, try everything before giving away your money

big brain move

[marble shuttle]

@elder trout do you know turkey customs taking insanley taxes

[elder trout]

once i checked no issues at all with the finalmouse tenz copy, i gave him the money

[stiff solar]

I've only had two mice? mouses? whatever it would be

[elder trout]

oh man

[marble shuttle]

mice is 4k turkish liras and they want over 8k turkish liras

for finalmouse

[elder trout]

XD yeah its a dilemma what to call gaming mice in plural lmao

[elder trout]

i dont know how much that is XD

[marble shuttle]

wait lemme do that math

[elder trout]

whats the percentage of your import taxes?

for me its between 20-30% of MSRP + shipping fee

[marble shuttle]

mouse is 190 dolar I assume

[elder trout]

yeah its 189

[marble shuttle]

and they want 400 dolar for taxes

[elder trout]

holy shit

[marble shuttle]

around like that

[elder trout]

thats like

70% import tax

WHAT IN THE HELL

thats mad

okey man waiting

[untold wigeon]

You have customers?

@elder trout what case is good for the 60he? i want the blade 60 but it is sold out everywhere, so i may just get the Klippe t

what lube should i use for the stabs

[gentle silo]

klippe t is great, you coulld look for a blade60 on the second hand market like r/mechmarekt maybe. other then that maye a psd60 (they are in stock msot of the time)

[gentle silo]

i use g205g0 for stabs and switches only for the springs i use g105

[left lion]

is it a good idea to get a gateron switch puller? or does it not work on the wooting?

[gentle silo]

switch pullser doesnt really matter i just use a cheap one. dunno if there is a huge difference in ez of use

[bronze grove]

Gateron makes the Lekker switches. So uh. Yep

😁

[true elk]

I can recommend the switch puller from Wuque Studios. It is really long and narrow and needs less space than the standard pullers. https://shop.wuquestudio.com/collections/tools-and-accessories/products/wuque-titanium-switch-puller

[left lion]

the reason i was looking into the gateron is cause apparently it’s a lot easier than using a traditional switch puller and helps with not having hand pain when pulling the switches

[elder trout]

sorry what? i have customers?

[mental hemlock]

I love you

[untold wigeon]

like you mod keyboards for people?

[elder trout]

Oh no I don't haha

But I like to help people out when it's their first time modding

[elder trout]

This was referring to keycaps on AliExpress with a photo of other people customers who have purchased that. I'm not the one selling XD

In fact, I just bought those blank pbt keycaps so they should arrive in 2-3 days

I'll post my own pics

Those were just other people's review photos

I need to make a custom strap next XD

[mental hemlock]

Did you get an answer to this? This is kinda what I've been thinking about doing not just for analog control but more tactile feedback in my moment in general, I don't think I want it to be so heavy that it's like mx blacks but at least a bit more resistant

[unkempt root]

bruh its 140 tho

[hollow tapir]

@tropic storm

[tropic storm]

I got no answer

but I ordered some

I could tell you how I feel about it when I get them

[hollow tapir]

What did end up getting if you don't mind me asking

[hollow tapir]

I would appreciate that!

[unkempt root]

is the Klippe T worth it? its 140

[tropic storm]

Kelowna x Lumia Double-Stage Springs (63.5g)

[hollow tapir]

Oooo okay I'll have a look

[tropic storm]

They have 55, 58, 63.5, 68, 72, and 81 gram versions

[hollow tapir]

God damn

Hmmmm

[tropic storm]

81 is insane

stock wooting is 60 I think

[hollow tapir]

Really? I thought stock would be lighter cause I remember way back when I had my first mechanical keyboard it had mx black switches and those were 60cn actuation force and they felt super strong compared to my next which was browns

Lemme see if I can find out

[untold wigeon]

oh really?

[tropic storm]

Wooting stock is 60 but you can buy 55g springs on the site

just checked

wait im dumb

[untold wigeon]

thats what im sayin i was thinking abt getting that cuz the tofu 60 and blade 60 are discuntinued as a fire keyboard drops smh

[tropic storm]

springs are 50g when bought separate

key stock is 60

right is that the right measurement?

[winged bone]

hey what are some good marketplaces to get keycaps

[hollow tapir]

Hmm yeah but I'm little confused about it like... Maybe there is a stronger force needed to bottom it out

Just remember when I was using mx blacks for some hours long gaming sessions it would actually start to bother my hand a bit but when I switched to browns it was totally fine

[tropic storm]

found answer

[hollow tapir]

Yeah that makes sense

So it's a bottom out force cause the spring is compressing

[tropic storm]

yes

im assuming when I ordered 63.5 its that when bottomed out

[hollow tapir]

This is interesting, finding the right spring force may be the key to proper control

[tropic storm]

I would think higher g would lead to better control but tire out hands faster

[hollow tapir]

I need more tactile feedback because I do feel like I loss some sense of control with the keyboard even though I gained speed

[tropic storm]

but 3.5g should not make much diffrence

[hollow tapir]

Yeah exactly

[dense snow]

when is it expected that the new pc plate, aluminum case, and pcb with screw-ins will release?

[tropic storm]

this belongs more in #1019755933959733258 but idk when

[dense snow]

i'm sure i've heard the above mentioned somewhere in this channel previously

[hollow tapir]

I'm gonna grab some old keyboards that I was using for a long time if I can get that level of feedback with the rapid trigger and 0.1mm of wooting it should be perfect

[hollow tapir]

Idk if this is useful for you but here you go https://youtube.com/watch?v=zWjS5OoiWhI&feature=share9

Build breakdown should be out June 14ish. Finishing up now.

@stray tiger
So I tried this (used the blue M size ring from graveshift) and it seemed like it warped my case while it was in (the case would rock slightly when I typed) so maybe not a good idea to gummy mount the default case lol

[stray tiger]

Now to get an aluminum case 🙂 Glad you tried it! Not sure why it would make the case rock though, that's odd for sure.

[somber scroll]

Yeah not sure. I took it out and remounted it with screws tho and no issue anymore

[noble harness]

aight one more pic for tn... #1070668460905988106 post tomorrow too

What’s this

[grizzled tartan]

are the stock springs lubed?

[glacial wind]

Nah, it’s pretty bare

Quick bag lube definitely worth

[chrome garden]

any1 ever put cerakeys on a wooting

[shell geode]

Are you going to post a sound test too? 😀

[shell geode]

Waiting for mine to come in and try!

[noble harness]

yep. Trying to decide if I should hold of on posting till the 14th tho. I didn't know about this whole reddit protest thing, until like an hour ago lol. Definitely posting to #1070668460905988106 tomorrow morning though.

[shell geode]

Can't wait, looking forward to it! What's the reddit thing you're referring to?

[tropic storm]

Yea but its like nothing

Im going to lube my kb when i swap out the springs

[mental hemlock]

subreddits are going pri ate or disabled in protest of some 3rd party app bullshit

[somber scroll]

Reddit is putting a price tag on API use and is effectively killing 3rd party apps. Apollo is shutting down, Reddit is fun is shutting down, basically every 3rd party app is shutting down.
So a ton of subs are going private for a few days or even permanently (I think more are going perma after the absolute shitshow of an AMA that the CEO did lol)
So basically reddits gonna be really interesting going forward if they don’t reverse course and tons of subs are just gone

[cerulean cliff]

do u have the revised file?

[gentle silo]

yes, i have one with flex cuts and one without them. only have the one with flexcuts on the computer im at rn tho.

ISO only tho

[cerulean cliff]

wut is a flexcut and does it matter which version?

[gentle silo]

flexcuts are cuts in the plate to make it more flexible which isnt really optimal for the wooting. flex cuts are fine on the wooting for materials like brass or aluminium but not for stuff pc or pom. its also much more expensive getting a plate cut with flexcuts than without them (like double the price form what i know)

the yellow marked are flexcuts

[cerulean cliff]

oh damn im on ANSI 😢

also for the standoff holes on the plate, is there drilling involved?

[gentle silo]

depends, if you order the plate then no, if you want to make them yourself then most likely lol. you can still use the plate file from wooting drectly. My plate file is layed out for the use with the KBDfans M2-3 standoff kit. With the wooting file you just have to replace the countersunk screw out of the kit with the silver wooting screw found on the backside of the pcb.

[cerulean cliff]

oh ok so the screw used to hold the default plate fits into the standoff from the kit?

[gentle silo]

yes they are both m2

default screws + standoff form the kit + phillips head screw from the kit

this is also how im running my plate as i founf ou tabout the wrong sized holes to late lol

[eternal smelt]

is the kbdfans tape mod kit worse than doing masking tape?

[gentle silo]

its literally the same lol, orderd one bc i was already paying shipping and its literally just 1 singular layer of tape, not worth the money

[eternal smelt]

Ahh okay, thanks!

[mental hemlock]

@shell geode wait, your name is from the witcher lol

how come

[austere creek]

its not though

[shell geode]

Haha it's a play on the name, but I loved the game and the show 😀

[mental hemlock]

I just learned Henry Ca ille is super into it lol

what other games do you play

[shell geode]

Just OW2 for now

[mental hemlock]

we should play sometime bro

[shell geode]

Definitely!👌

[mental hemlock]

would you like to play now

[shell geode]

I typically play on weekends

Maybe this weekend!

[mental hemlock]

gotcha

i finished 5 times with %100 proud of it

[mental hemlock]

finished what

[marble shuttle]

witcher 3

all series

[dense snow]

to those who have filmed their lekker switches, has their been any noticeable difference in performance regarding rapid trigger/actuation offset?

[gentle silo]

i have some issues on the lowest rappid trigger and actuation, tho ive also done stuff like a pe mod and plate swap (my plate is 0.1mm to thick). but i cant tell you if its because of the films/plate/or foam.

[thick mural]

plate should be 1.6mm no?

[gentle silo]

no plate should be 1.5mm

[deft lava]

I bought a PSD60 to mod with my wooting, are there any suggestions/tips to make sure it works?

[bronze grove]

Screw it in.

Done.

[fiery oxide]

don't forget to plug in the usb C cable too

[deft lava]

alr

[marble shuttle]

does anyone have a something like that in wooting you writin little bit has pingy iam pressing button it writes after 1 or 2 second its weird

maybe my brain illusion to me

[gentle silo]

not with the wooting, had this a while back with another keyboard, try reinstalling the device/usb drivers maybe. Dont know anymore how i fixed it tho.

[marble shuttle]

yeah its happened again while writing will try it

maybe another apps causing

[lyric wave]

How much does keycaps help with achieving THOCK?

[gentle silo]

can help quiet a bit. thick pbt will sound deeper then thin abs...

pbt has a deeper sound in general, abs more of a higher pitched

[gentle silo]

Here an example, 2 abs and 1 pbt cap

[lyric wave]

Oooooo thanks

[gentle silo]

disclaimer, first 2 are abs, last one is pbt

the tickness of the cap also changes the sound, thicker keycaps will sound deeper

[spice tiger]

Profile of caps also matters

[tropic storm]

in this example the pbt sounds better

in my opinion

also is pbt usually better quality and last longer?

[spice tiger]

Nah it depends on the brand

[tropic storm]

ok

[spice tiger]

Some like Akko asa pbt keycaps actually don't last as long as something that's quality abs

Some shined Akko asa pbt keycaps in mere weeks, and usually abs is capable of a more brighter color

[eternal smelt]

Is the Tofu60 Foam kit good to buy if I plan to use the Klippe T case? they are all out of mekanisks foam kits ;c

Or zip-n-fit like badSeedTech recommends on youtube?

[marble shuttle]

you can use klippe t foam for 9 dollar

[noble harness]

#1070668460905988106 #1117850332127568072 message

[thick mural]

use zip n fit

[thick mural]

he just said its out of stock

[marble shuttle]

ohh

didnt realise

It was on stock when I checked couple days ago

wow

[thick mural]

i have 4 of them because i knew theyd go out of stock again

[marble shuttle]

you are insane

😄

bro know the future

[eternal smelt]

okay thanks

[onyx pier]

the foam from wooting cant fit in the klippe t?

[eternal smelt]

i want more thorough foam

Wooting's doesn'

doesn't fully encompass the case i believe

[onyx pier]

ahhh

[thick mural]

it does if u put it in upside down

[cedar summit]

Does anybody have any good POM/PC plate recommendations for the Wooting, using a gummy O ring mount in Klippe T

[bronze grove]

No off the shelf made plate works with the 60HE.

Gotta fabricate one and get standoffs on it.

[cedar summit]

What do you mean by fabricate?

And is there a possibility of Wooting having there own custom plates?

[bronze grove]

"have one made from scratch"

As for plates from us. Not quite.

The 60HE comes with a steel plate. The 60HE Module (coming soon, no case, no keycaps) will have a PC plate and support for some screw in stabs (cannot be moved to a regular 60HE)

[earnest lichen]

stock everything except lubed switches

[marble shuttle]

lube changes everything

[elder trout]

Does the tofu 60 case have a higher inclination than stock 60he case? I want an aluminium case that's not that much steeper than the stock 60he case

[marble shuttle]

second hand ?

you cannot buy anywhere if you want to buy but in second hand you can fin maybe

[elder trout]

I have a local vendor that can get me new

[marble shuttle]

i got tofu60 too without mods and anyfoams has little bit hollownness

[elder trout]

Is it steeper than stock 60he case?

Which one has a lower profile?

[left kayak]

turn wooting on low profile feel very good 😄

[marble shuttle]

yes

[elder trout]

Hmm I don't like steep cases

Wood case?

[still vortex]

tofu60 is 7 degree, he case is 6

[elder trout]

Huh. Why does it look so much steeper

[marble shuttle]
