[dense snow]

that's damn near a perfect fit

[gentle silo]

they fit pretty welllll, only slight bowing

[dense snow]

how about tx?

tx films sound the best from the recording imo

the tx ones you used are the 0.15mm pc ones?

[gentle silo]

not that good (its alo only like a tx style filme (so no window) its not actually a tx film

they are also way more annoying to apply as they have a wider "wall"

[dense snow]

https://divinikey.com/products/tx-switch-films?variant=39414190047297

like these ones yeah?

[gentle silo]

Ok nvm, they aren’t like Tx lol, just didn’t know how to call them

[dense snow]

ohh yeah those are definitely not tx

[gentle silo]

tbh, the only thing i knew about tx filmes where that they didnt have a window so my barin made the connection i guess lol

[dense snow]

wish they didn't have to have that side rail

[gentle silo]

you mean like on the tx the little part where the "window would be"?

[dense snow]

side rail for lekker switches

[gentle silo]

well cant have a switch witout those

lol

[dense snow]

traditional gateron switches don't have those

this part?

[gentle silo]

ohhh, you mean the part of the tophouseing?

[dense snow]

yeah

[gentle silo]

oh yea, i though you ment the sllider part on the bottom housing XD

[dense snow]

yeah regular gateron switches don't have that part of the top housing

[gentle silo]

Yea ik

[bronze grove]

Regular gateron switches also have a thinner internal stem.

[dense snow]

ah that's right

[gentle silo]

ive also got these fillms on the way maybe they fit even better then the wuque

[dense snow]

so if someone did design a film for a lekker switch, in which someone did on reddit, the side rails would have to follow around outside the side rail of the top housing

https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/comments/10gp8jq/i_3d_printed_films_for_the_lekker_switches/

or like this where it's extremely thin

[gentle silo]

the geon ones i just sent?

[dense snow]

geon switch films look interesting

since they kind of follow that

[dense snow]

these are films that someone designed and 3d printed on reddit

[gentle silo]

orderd them today to test, well se

[dense snow]

so they are made out of PLA plastic

[gentle silo]

no, these are made for regular mx style swiches

[dense snow]

i'm referring to the picture i sent

[gentle silo]

yea, ik saw the post aswell when i was searching for films, i dont have a 3d printer tho, and these services are expensive

[tall hollow]

I do have a 3d printer

[gentle silo]

yea, i was also thinking about buying one, but all the parts i needed couldnt be made with a regular fdm or resin printer so i just orderd them online instead of buying a printer

[tall hollow]

lolz

[dense snow]

little sick of the inconsistent housing tolerances

some are wobbly and some are relatively tight

so often even lubing wouldn't eliminate rattle that comes from stem wobble and housing wobble

[tall hollow]

could be due to how you open up the switch

opening switches can cause them to become looser

[dense snow]

possibly but i just use a standard push-down switch opener

[tall hollow]

even that can cause the shape of the switch to change slightly.

specifically the tabs that hold the housings together

[dense snow]

not necessarily the entire switch, i'd say just the rails that have to bend out

even so, not all switches require filming as some have tight enough housings, even after a round of lubing, which means opening and closing a switch one time

[tall hollow]

true

[dense snow]

so yeah i'd just say that lekker switches need some tighter tolerances, especially for the stem wobble

[tall hollow]

yeah

[dry wigeon]

is this impacting sound ?

[fickle vector]

Yes, a bit

If the top and bottom housing have space to move, then there will be a bit of sound. These films go in between and makes the fit tighter, preventing the movement

[gentle silo]

even on tight switches it creates a sound difference

[fickle vector]

Yeah, but it's more pronounced on loosely fit housings

The sound difference in my switches is crazy and I've only lubed them. The tight housings have less of the click that the loose ones have

[gentle silo]

check the vid here, the stock(just lubed) switch at the end didnt have any housing wobble and was tight, but the filmed switches sound alot different. Mic aint that great but it amplifies the difference a bit

[fickle vector]

Damn the TX one kinda 😳

[gentle silo]

its not tx it just some random aliexpress films lol

[dense snow]

it's not even tx

lmfao

yeah

[gentle silo]

they are a pain to install tho

[fickle vector]

Yeah but

[gentle silo]

fuck me, i just dropped my calipers and nicked my case 💀

[dense snow]

NOOOOOOOOO

that's ultimately my fault my question led to a butterfly effect which led you to nicking your case

[gentle silo]

[shell geode]

Oh noooo

[gentle silo]

time to search for my blllack sharpi

[normal schooner]

ah taro keycaps

[gentle silo]

nope gmk monarch

[normal schooner]

looks great!

[gentle silo]

except for the nick in the case (i hate myself rn)

[spark ivy]

Spray paint

Trust

[gentle silo]

i aint gonna spay paint my 350$ salvation, shapie did the trick tho

now i just have to live with my failiur

[spark ivy]

Yea, you sell your soul for that keyboard

[gentle silo]

its even the soull balck color

[spark ivy]

But it’s worth it. Still waiting in my shipment and then I get to start toying with modding for the first time

[shell geode]

Is there any 60he build that is close to $1000?

[gentle silo]

Anodization? Who needs that sharpie is just better

[gentle silo]

im close to 600 i think, with a custom brass plate maybe at 700

[dense snow]

what case are you using?

[gentle silo]

wilba.tech salvation

[dense snow]

is the leaf spring mounting system any good

[gentle silo]

yea works pretty well

[dense snow]

from badseedtech's review he said it doesn't provide any "softness" or flexibility to the typing, and just rocks back and forth

it's a pretty lookin case tho

[gentle silo]

not really there is a little bit of flex even on the wooting, but its mostly bouncy.

its still miles better then any regualr tray mount even when burger mounted

[dense snow]

where can you buy just the case?

[gentle silo]

you cant

[dense snow]

pre-order?

[gentle silo]

no in-stock sale on most colors

https://salvun.com/collections/store/products/salvation?variant=39291619442734

eu store, so no vat (if your in eu

i would have gotten the copper slag, it looks so good

[dense snow]

i would start crying if i nicked my case like that

[gentle silo]

yes lol, imagine doing that to a keycult no1/60

[fickle vector]

holy shit that looks good yeah

I love those kinds of designs

[gentle silo]

yea, the even had a small launch of like a sparkely back textured finish

[fickle vector]

Meh

Copper slag tho

[gentle silo]

yea copper slag is straight up fire. the other one in crazy aswell

[normal schooner]

hey omni I saw you got your wooting

gz man 🙂

[fickle vector]

Thanks man

I saw my case arrived at the local store as well

Just need the films and I got me a pretty unique Wooting

[normal schooner]

[fickle vector]

Kinda excited about the case actually. They made it specifically for me even though it was out of production after all, wonder how it turned out

[mental hemlock]

You don’t need films

[fickle vector]

I do 🙂

[shell raft]

where is the sale? XD

[fickle vector]

If they have a sale I'm gonna be sad about the case I bought

Because then the copper slag one would be cheaper and prolly look better

[thick mural]

my powder coated steel plate is done on saturday

[eternal smelt]

Any Klippe T 60% case owners able to verify approx how long it took to get your case after ordering?

[normal schooner]

a week

same for fjell

[eternal smelt]

Ohh, sweet. Thx

[shell geode]

What case did you get made for you??

[void valve]

what is considered to be better the Klippe T or the Tofu60 ?

[frail hemlock]

3 weeks for me

Still had to wait 2 more months for wooting

[eternal smelt]

i imagine the differences are pretty miniscule but might matter to someone who is more anal about the sound/angling of the case itself?

[inland ocean]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004493952470.html

has anyone actually used this case? I see its on the compatibility list as not compatible, but searching through this discord people have used a different BGKYPRO case fine - I also saw a lot of pics on google of people with their 60HE in the version i linked above

[eternal smelt]

if they have pics and use it with their 60HE, then it has to work... no?

[inland ocean]

https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/60-Light-Edge-Alu-Plastic-3b5a1e66d03446bf9ab9ad687d8d99f4

just the compatbility note that worries me

the case is pretty cheap and I like the aesthetic - if no one here has used it i'd rather get something different to be sure

[eternal smelt]

Well, it describes what you would have to modify

Personally, i would rather not fool around modifying anything since im dumb asf

HAHAH

[inland ocean]

Well, I did google to see if I could see the process of anyone else that did it - no ones mentioned anything

so I was thinking it might be a straight fit tbh

[eternal smelt]

It souds easy enough tbh

Measure twice and ensure absolutely no parts stick up more than what the PCB requires in all locations (Particularly the unused standoffs, even if removed - the raised areas need to be sanded/grinded down flat to match the rest of the case)

It sounds like there is pronounced raising by some of the standoffs

so you have to level it out

[inland ocean]

maybe I just get this instead - i've seen others here use it and its from the same brand

https://aliexpress.com/item/1005003524133078.html

and it would allow my wrist rest to sit closer also

[eternal smelt]

Seems like you answered your own question!

I would prob agree

No matter what, you're saving $60+

crazy to think a case costs more than the actual Wooting

[inland ocean]

Yeah... If I wasn't trying to be cautious on spending a lot of money i'd get the magisk klippe t i think

Found some pics on here from another user that used the 1 from my last link and I think it looks pretty sweet tho

[eternal smelt]

Kind of looks plastic to me

[inland ocean]

True 😛

[eternal smelt]

Looks like it fits well tho

Is there a POV of the USB port?

[inland ocean]

not that I can see

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/895620994557939764/1077293116165476412/IMG_1092.jpg

these are the only pics I found

[eternal smelt]

now that there sparks another question for me: resin wrist rest vs wooting or other fabric wrist rests? and why?

[inland ocean]

I have a wooden wrist rest

I think it's mainly the position of your hand rather than the softness - i'm not leaning on my wrist rest

pic from wooting site

[eternal smelt]

well i get the usage

I have a corsair k95 with wrist rest

worked fine but got sweaty, and its hard and uncomfortable but atleast my wrist was never out of position or stressed

but i'd like to get something like a resin one if it's less sweaty and reasonably comfortable ;S

or quartz

[inland ocean]

yeah I saw a nice quartz one the other day

was tempting

just because I thought it'd stay pretty cool

[eternal smelt]

they retain coldness well

[inland ocean]

was only 25EUR

https://keygem.com/products/quartz-stone-wrist-rest

no idea what they're like tho

[eternal smelt]

yeah i was looking at those aswell

and on kbdfans website too

[inland ocean]

your using the built in k95 wrist rest?

[eternal smelt]

yeah temporarily LOL!

i wedge it against the wooting stock

[inland ocean]

I had a k70 a few years back

the wrist rest on that was definitely sweaty

I'd imagine the wooting one would be much better

im using the glorious wooden one in onyx

shows up oil a lot tho, kinda regret it

[eternal smelt]

i heard the glorious ones are pretty good

ah

[inland ocean]

I dont sweat on it

like its pretty nice

but because its black you just see the slightest oil from ur hand/arm

[eternal smelt]

ill probably have to sacrifice some $ and find what i like the best

[inland ocean]

if u decide on that, go for the more golden wood tone

[eternal smelt]

planning to do that with a few of my peripherals tbh

[inland ocean]

also....

its about 0.5-0.75cm too long for the wooting 60he

[eternal smelt]

ah

I saw alot of wrist rests custom made on etsy

for $25-45 range

resin/wooden

custom cut, and personal design options

very tempting

[inland ocean]

https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32540926035.html

even cheaper....

[eternal smelt]

I've seen alot of people mention using that case

[shrewd lagoon]

https://kbdfans.com/products/tofu60-redux-case?_pos=1&_sid=530d2e641&_ss=r

the tofu60 is back in production

[inland ocean]

redux?

is it changed?

[shrewd lagoon]

no that i’ve seen

[haughty scarab]

aye would this case fit for the wooting looking for acrlyic case. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804377621405.html

[median crow]

hello

i'm reconsidering whether i should get the akko 5075s over the monsgeek m1 , i'm not sure how much it would affect the sound though

[fluid ravine]

absolutely not :D

ok that was weird but no

[shell geode]

Oh, why wouldn't it? The main standoffs look like they're in the right place, and it also looks like you can unscrew the many other ones

[bronze star]

just wondering my grandfather is a woodworker was planning on building a wooden case for the wooting and my ortho keeb what wood is good for sound i have absolutely no clue anything up to the $200 range for woods

[fluid ravine]

and nevcer mind i do think you can now
i couldnt really see the standoffs so i didnt know they were swappable

gotta look at dem big pictures

[shell geode]

haha same here, I wear them big glasses too because I can't see 😆

[fluid ravine]

me over here with small eyes and glasses

xd

[grizzled tartan]

how many layers of Kilamt would I need for a 5 degree case and the Wotting pcb?

[foggy cape]

I guess they realized they made a business mistake W

@autumn creek tofu is back in production this is the dilemma now between this and Path60

[mental hemlock]

ITS STILL FUCK KBDFANS

THEY BETTER SELL IT FOR UNDER A HUNDRED BUCKS

[foggy cape]

Last I remember it was $88

usd though

So 100 or so for Canada people like me

[fluid ravine]

ong

if not im going to be broke

not even broke

in debt!

[foggy cape]

I will never financially recover in July LOL

[hoary tide]

New to the whole custom keyboard world, I got a 60he was wondering what keycaps fit? Or are all keycaps same size and clip style, appreciate it

Any recommendations? I want white and black

[fluid ravine]

Search WoB Keycaps

[fluid ravine]

yes most or technically all keycaps fit

the things you would be looking out for are
material
design
profile

[foggy cape]

wob hiragana from bolsa supply if u want the Japanese characters

https://bolsakeyboardsupply.com/products/pbt-wob-hiragana

its on sale still too

[near loom]

Do artisan keycaps have interference with the Wooting 60?

[untold wigeon]

God bless you for the heads up sir/madam

[untold wigeon]

They added the brass weight and the round feet at the bottom are now a long continuous strip

[foggy cape]

I think it might be pricier though

bc of that

[mental hemlock]

i dont care at all

they made a tofu and im going to buy it

fuck the,

them

[shell geode]

Are you on the waiting list too??

[coral gorge]

I joined the waiting list

[mental hemlock]

im broke as fuck but hopefully ill get the money to buy it when it releases lol

[shell geode]

Are you saving up for both the 60he and tofu60 at the same time to get it all at once? 🙂

[mental hemlock]

my hopes arent high lol

id rather buy 2 cases and thats it

not get pissed that they discontinue it

[ebon quiver]

why get and enjoy a keeb with all the new and interesting tech when you could get 2 cases instead

[mental hemlock]

because theyre going to continue making the wooting lol

im not sure how many cases theyre gonna make of the new tofu

do you catch my drift

and id rather wait a long time for the wooting so they can make it better

like look at the new module theyre releasing

[ebon quiver]

ye i kinda get the idea, but you'd still be all cases and no keeb

it's like a car person without a car collecting rims instead of actually getting a car and driving

[mental hemlock]

id still do that lol and im a car guy

the car can wait

wheels get discontinued

let the car get cheaper too

[fickle vector]

Got one of the cases from the forged series from Brazen studio

[ebon quiver]

cars also get discontinued and go up in price though

[mental hemlock]

dont care

[shell geode]

Nice!! Been looking at their cases too

[fickle vector]

Yeee, they're quite nice

I had a hard time finding some nice keycaps to pair with the brass case tho

So I ended up picking up the standard black shine-through pbt caps from wooting

Maybe I can find a brown keycap set that actually looks cool sometime

We'll see

[dry wigeon]

Brown and green goes well together too 👍

has anyone a good website to order customised keycaps in rubber or other type of materials?

[mental hemlock]

Shitty color

[novel cargo]

Search for "Tone Woods" these are usually used in guitar building as they produce the best sounds, things like differenf Oaks, Sapeele, Maple, ebony, mahogany and Ash, there are way more. this site has some explinations https://www.soundunlimited.co.uk/blogs/articles/guitar_tone_woods

[novel cargo]

also IMO Spalted Ash looks amazing 🙂

[elder trout]

[60HE] is it safe to do PE foam mod between pcb foam and pcb?

[grizzled path]

tone wood is a myth

(for electric guitars )

[woven patrol]

[Q ] my current "issue" with my wooting two he , and i find it "muchie" compared to my keychron k8 - , can a spring change change that , idea's ?

[grizzled tartan]

swapped my Acrylic Tofu into a Black 5 Degree

might sell my Tofu60

[bronze grove]

Muchie? Mushy? Light? Heavy?

[woven patrol]

"Mushy" not snapy , i have Gateron Browns on my K8 , for like typing sessions sometimes switch keyboards

[bronze grove]

You have the heaviest springs we offer. Not sure if replacing with softer springs will make them less mushy and more snappy.

[olive maple]

heeey - does someone know if this case ( QK60 - https://www.qwertykeys.com/products/qk60 ) is compatible with the wooting 60HE? Sorry If it's the wrong channel to ask for this kind of questions

[marble shuttle]

nope

[bronze grove]

No - for several reasons. Centered USB connector hole being the most obvious issue.

[olive maple]

ahh thanks for the fast reply - does someone maybe know a cool black (maybe aluminium case) which would fit? I found the Poseidon PSD60, is this the only black alu case?

[bronze grove]

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

Most cases are offered in black.

Though finding any in stock is a challenge depending on where you live.

[edgy veldt]

If I mod an aftermarket PC plate could it fit the 60he layout?

[austere creek]

anything fits if you mod it

[bronze grove]

[edgy veldt]

alright thanks

[austere creek]

just make sure its stiff enough so that the key registration doesnt frick up

[bronze grove]

"If it fits, it fits"

This is entirely a question of your skill and the source product.

[olive maple]

thanks for the URL - well I guess (and hope) in Germany it will be kind of okay with things like that 😄

[austere creek]

should be

if not check EU based stores

[woven patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-box-fit-sit-gif-3575887

[gentle silo]

Pbtfans retro dark lights do be bussin aswell

[shell raft]

tbh ❤️

they know, they perfectly know

[marble shuttle]

yeah ofcourse they will release after I buy it tofu60 in may 31th

I hope it is not over 150

[shell raft]

if u have older Tofu60 its still very good

we were worried that there will be only Tofu60 2.0 and thats it

but i hope for new Blade60 case compatible with 60HE

[marble shuttle]

I bought kit version I got extra pcb I am thinking putting older one is with dzb60 pcb which I can use it normal not gaming

I am glad they did it

I became additct rip

[gentle silo]

got a old tofu build aswell which im trying to sell rn

[slow iris]

do i need to remove all the switches to case swap?

[inland ocean]

no

[slow iris]

ok ty

[bronze grove]

None of them in fact. 🙂

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

[inland ocean]

do we know anything regarding price/release date for the wooting case thats coming out?

want to swap but i'd rather wait and see what wootings got in store 😄

[bronze grove]

To be announced, alongside with more information about the 60HE Module variant and switch restocking. 🙂

[inland ocean]

Saw the teasers on the compatbility sheet, looks good

[bronze grove]

Can't wait to show them off, and get one of my own. 😄

So far only been able to hold the baremetal prototype shown off.

[inland ocean]

is the thing on the left a weight or?

[bronze grove]

It's an accent piece.

[elder trout]

wtf is this?

i want a link

[inland ocean]

https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f&p=caf6c96bf5e241bab179a47ecddaf60d&pm=s

[bronze grove]

It means we could potentially offer different colour variants (down the line?) or you could recoat it yourself in a different colour scheme.

[inland ocean]

I like the aesthetic tbh

[bronze grove]

Say you love black but want silver, or red instead on the accent.

I'm really excited to see what folks will do with it.

[elder trout]

ohohohoho this is sexy. would love that imprint on the bottom of the case tho. sad to see it never see the light of day

[elder trout]

@marble shuttle

black and gold is just

[bronze grove]

It is definitely a very classic and tried and tested colour combination.

Though personally I'm more of a purple and gold kind of guy.

[elder trout]

any price estimates?

[elder trout]

OH YESSSSS

[inland ocean]

He said above to be announced @elder trout

[elder trout]

i'll definitely be on the fence between this and tofuredux

[elder trout]

oh mb didnt see

[bronze grove]

We'll have a big, official announcement soon'ish.

[inland ocean]

I hate that word.

😄

[bronze grove]

Soon™️

[elder trout]

https://tenor.com/view/phongpirik-jumping-up-and-down-cute-gif-14248548

aluminum right???

[inland ocean]

take control caps, on that case, with the strap+ stock cable & the accent annodized yellow

[dry wigeon]

when the fcuk is this case going to be release? COMON GIVE US DATES Wooting team 😄

[shell raft]

this colour is dope

same would go for red and grey of this kind

[bronze grove]

Yes.

[twin field]

Airsoft masterpiece > edge

[fickle vector]

@gentle silo thought the case had arrived but it was smth else

[shell raft]

its the same man

i mean its one brand

[fickle vector]

I'm waiting for the films anyway so it's all good

[twin field]

Yes and no but personal preference 😛 nice to see other hicapa people here lol

[fickle vector]

Tungsten when?

[gentle silo]

unlucky lol, i know the feeling of waiting on shit

[gentle silo]

wich films did you order

[slow iris]

Should i use the original case screws or the ones that i got with the new alu case?

[fickle vector]

The same ones you ordered

[slow iris]

The new case screws are a bit longer i think

[fickle vector]

They haven't shipped it yet tho

[crystal mural]

i saw the stabalizerz in the wooting are already lubed, do you think its worth to lube it by myself?

[gentle silo]

nice, atleast we both spent money when they dont fit lol

[fickle vector]

That'd be hilarious

[gentle silo]

kinda yea lol. mine got picked up by dhl already

[fickle vector]

They're lubed to some extent, not fully lubed. It takes 15 minutes to lube them so I wouldn't skip them

[crystal mural]

okay then i will do it thanks!

[fickle vector]

I think I fked up because I made a note on the order saying I'd like the white version. They got back to me yesterday saying white wasn't in stock, but I responded saying "just black then". No response no ship

[gentle silo]

[dry wigeon]

has anyone a good sound dumpening filming switches that works for our Wooting lekker switches ?

[inland ocean]

Has anyone 3D printed anything useful for their wooting? 🙂

[stray tiger]

Films are addressed in the FAQ https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399

[bronze star]

i was looking at Cocobolo as it is very dense has anyone had any experience with it ?

[bronze star]

also looks pretty sick

[fickle vector]

They don't know

[bronze star]

imo films helped alot mine needed around 0.3m worked me

mm*

[fickle vector]

Yeah that's what I mean

The folks at Wooting don't know

[bronze star]

yeah lol they have some significant wobble

[fickle vector]

I'm tapping the housing on one of them and there's a high pitch sound as feedback lol

[austere creek]

the person who wrote that doesnt work for us

[fickle vector]

Oh so it's not official misinformation

[austere creek]

im not even sure if the faq was run past any wooting staff tbh

[fickle vector]

Meanwhile in the real world

The first 4 I picked up didn't have much rattle, one of them had a little movement, but this one has something going on lol

But most of them have loose enough housings to click audibly when tapped, this one just had a lot of movement as well

Either way I hope some films will be made to fix this, because I doubt Wooting will change their molds or w/e

[glossy pagoda]

Ultimately it's a choice between reducing "scratchiness" at the expense of "wobble"

We struck a balance that leans somewhat more towards the wobbly side to ensure the smoothest possible experience out of the box. Since our software works on increments that are literally the width of a human hair, we believe that to be the better choice for the vast majority of users

For the few who prefer a snugger fit, a little extra lube goes a long way. For the 0.1% of users for whom that isn't enough, we'll they're so deeply entrenched in the keyboard modding scene that custom films are a exciting adventure for them... 😛

[shell geode]

True, I'm sure the majority of your consumers keeps it stock and is happy with that

Heck, the number of users who even know what switch films are pretty microscopic

[inland ocean]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32850781312.html

any idea if this case would fit 60he? tried looking on the compatbility list/searching discord but could only find another NPKC model

[shell geode]

It lists GH60 and the standoffs look to be in the right place, should work just fine!

[inland ocean]

the centre standoff isn't an issue? doesn't look removable

its the only cheap'ish case i can find that has a bit of weight to it

surprised I wasn't able to find others in here that have used it

[severe dune]

I have that case and one other guy as well. It fits it perfectly.

[inland ocean]

Thanks! Do you have any pics? Or is there some other brand/model name I should search to find some pics?

[severe dune]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1116726292377772032

Also I ordered it from Amazon. You have to pay close attention some may not come with the aluminum weight plate. Make sure it has YMDK as the maker and says weight plate included.

[inland ocean]

That looks really nice 😄 ty!

[severe dune]

Np

[vital halo]

Does anyone know if it's possible to do tapemod with those? Or it need something specific?

[bronze grove]

I wouldn't recommend using duct tape.

Use basic painter's tape. Not a lot of glue grip

[versed pivot]

I already hear the protective coat crumbling while ripping of the duct tape like a bayblade starter

[vital halo]

Thank you ))

[stray tiger]

Actually I do know (yes I wrote the FAQ). I also think a lot of people confuse stem wobble vs housing wobble. I personally own 3 60HE's and have modded over 20 and I can tell you with 100% certainty that the majority of the time the lekker switches have very tight housings. Again I am not talking about stem wobble, which is also what I believe Mark was referring to.

[fickle vector]

Idk man the housing wobble is there

[stray tiger]

It's not misinformation and yes it was run past a number of people who have been here since the beginning

[fickle vector]

I'd say around 40-50% of them have some

[stray tiger]

How many of them have you opened up to lube or mod?

[fickle vector]

Well all of them now, but even before that some had wobble. By far not as many though obviously.

But tbf the people that dislike the sound of unlubed switches will likely also dislike the sound of the housing wobble, so if you do one you might as well do the other you get me

[stray tiger]

Which confirms my point. The majority of the switches and the majorty of people do not have issues with their switch housings. That would put you in the minority if you experienced the opposite. Also, by admitting that your switch housing are now more wobbly after you opened them, that adds in an entire extra level of variance such as the method you used to open them, the type of opener, etc etc.

[fickle vector]

You mean the included opener from Wooting?

The majority don't have housing wobble because they don't lube them no?

[stray tiger]

I mean any opener and anyone who opens them. All of that adds additional variances. The stock switches are tight in almost all cases and I say that having been through over 1000 lekker switches

So while its certainly possible you had some that werent tight and they are even less tight after lubing them, does not make the FAQ or the information incorrect or "misinformation" as you stated.

[fickle vector]

I mean you can say I'm out of the ordinary but that doesn't really say much about why a percentage larger than margin of error is wobbly in my case. I'm not looking for an explanation from you - as you said, I could've opened them with a sledgehammer. But I'd argue the variance in opening them is very miniscule - I followed the tutorials from Wooting closely, and used their tools carefully

[stray tiger]

Thats the amazing thing about statistics. You can't use your single set of switches and say it represents the quality as a whole. Even if you had a bad batch of switches and it affected every switch on your board, that would still represent less than .001% of the millions out there. It's entirely possible you had an above normal amout of switches that had some wobble, I'm simply letting you know that's out of the norm.

[grizzled path]

in my experience the the stem wobble is significant, however I couldn't really get the housings wobble themselves at all by poking them, and even less so when they sit in the plate. no difference before or after lubing

[stray tiger]

Stem wobble IS an issue for the majority of people (by design as Mark mentioned). Housing wobble is not.

[grizzled path]

yeap

[fickle vector]

Damn guess I just got the short end of the straw

[light drift]

So no one has found compatible films yet? 😦

a bunch of mine have siginificant wobble on them (around 20% of switches)

makes for a really clacky typing experience

[stray tiger]

Ive filmed a few boards and have films on the one Im using right now and all of them require stretching of the films

[vital halo]

Those are best then? Should I go with the yellowish or blank?

[stray tiger]

The films wont fix stem wobble

[light drift]

no not stem wobble, the top housing

[stray tiger]

Whicher one is called masking or painters tape

[fickle vector]

@gentle silo and I are gonna test Geon films, they seem promising. But he has tested a few other films as well

[light drift]

that would be great 😄 would you keep me updated?

[vital halo]

I guess the white one

[light drift]

why are you so opposed to the idea that some switches are just wobbly by default? Many people over the last few days have confirmed this is a issue they are seeing already

[fickle vector]

I'll try to keep your name in mind

[light drift]

i'll be lurking around anyway

I would love for housing wobble to not be an issue but it's just not true for a lot of us

[stray tiger]

I'm not opposed, it certainly happens! It's just not the normal behavior. In fact it's abnormal as has been the case for almost a year. Also, a lot of those comments were regarding stem wobble and not housing wobble. A lot of users are not educated on what they are hearing or feeling.

[light drift]

that makes sense, in the meantime i'll probably jerry rig some shims out of masking tape 😛

[stray tiger]

There are films that work better than others, although all require some stretching or warping to fit the larger stem rails of the lekker switches. If youre in the US I can suggest some that have worked best for me.

[light drift]

in general what style has worked for you?

[stray tiger]

https://cannonkeys.com/products/ws-switch-films?_pos=2&_sid=0f4fe93cb&_ss=r

Ive tried around 4-5 films and these work the best

[fickle vector]

Yeah Over Heaven said those were good too

[stray tiger]

I think those are the ones pictured in the FAQ actually

[light drift]

damn not sure we have any retailers selling WS stuff here in canada

[fickle vector]

After I showed him how the Geons looked he was very curious tho. Curious enough to spend €25 lol

(shipping)

[stray tiger]

If they end up fitting lmk and Ill update the FAQ

[light drift]

dang €25 is a lot haha

[fickle vector]

Yeah, the films were like 5.5

Shipping just

[light drift]

have you tried both PC and Poron?

[fickle vector]

I haven't tried any yet

[stray tiger]

Just the PC

[fickle vector]

I don't think Over Heaven has tried poron yet either

[light drift]

i'll give both a shot and report back 😛

[fickle vector]

[pastel arch]

Anyone put the wooting in a wooden case? I‘d name it the wooding

[light drift]

woodting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEqLYDnlu-w

[pastel arch]

Its not all wood tho

[tiny lion]

Can someone recommend me a new usb cable for my wooting I will have it only black

[glossy pagoda]

LTT did

In the video released today lol

Not that he mentioned it or anything

[gentle silo]

so far i also tested the wuque studio films and they fit pretty good

[gentle silo]

i already knew them, just didnt want to spend the 20$ for switch films

[left patrol]

Can’t they be 3d printed?

If so i could print some

[fickle vector]

Saw one guy on reddit did that

[fickle vector]

ah, fair

[gentle silo]

yes, but the 3d file isnt public, he just sent it to one dude per pm afaik. I already asked on his reddit thread if he could send it to me aswell

he did pla at 0.1mm layer hight, only 1 layer

[gentle silo]

switch films are currently in barcelona , maybe ill get them on saturday

current sound test, exited to see how the poron films will effect the sound

[fickle vector]

My guess is that it dampens the sound a bit

[gentle silo]

could be yea, maybe on the bottomout

[left patrol]

Shouldn’t be so hard to create it by yourself

Especially when its only 2d

[thick mural]

can also confirm

they work pretty well despite the larger rails

[gentle silo]

true aswell, but i dont have a 3d printer

[left patrol]

Mine collects dust

[gentle silo]

lol, a reason more to undust it

[inland ocean]

For the 3D printed films, is there a cad/stl of the lekker switch so I could make a switch film for them?

if I can make one i'd be happy to share the STL for it here so we can all use

[mental hemlock]

Break out the calipers

[inland ocean]

Yeah if I can't get a cad/stl file thats probably what i'll end up doing

[mental hemlock]

I think they have an STL file for literally anything else except the switch lol

I bet they were like “these people can’t be that insane to mod the switch, right?”

[inland ocean]

Was talking with another user here & he made a good point... it's probably because gateron owns the rights or something

[mental hemlock]

Yeah

I’m more interested to see that guy make the case for the Two HE

[inland ocean]

a 3d printed one or what?

[mental hemlock]

No I believe it was alu

[gentle silo]

sounds very expensive... machining a 60% case is already like 250-350$ for a commission...

[mental hemlock]

I don’t believe I’ve seen him much

[inland ocean]

Can get CNC machines at home kinda like 3d printers, was tempted to get one myself 😄

[mental hemlock]

The last thing I remember is him showing a video of the. Saw

Case*

[shell geode]

Are you referring to the cost for a one-off at a local machine shop?

[gentle silo]

that what ive been quoted online for a one-off thing, didnt look locally as i just wanted to see what someting like that would cost

[shell geode]

I see, I've gotten the same range as well for my design, trying to find a local guy instead

[lethal mango]

do any key caps fit the wooting 60he ?? never modded s keyboard before but i want to put some chunky sounding ones

[bronze grove]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[lethal mango]

ty bro

any recommendations for some nice key caps?

or sites that sell good key caps ?

[shell geode]

I bet Mansen has the links to all channels on shortcuts 😆

[bronze grove]

https://tenor.com/view/list-to-do-long-first-list-of-things-gif-4577829

[shell geode]

Can't go wrong with GMK! https://gmkkeycap.com/

[lethal mango]

yoo those are dope

thanks

[gentle silo]

what layout/language?

[lethal mango]

what does profile mean ?

[lethal mango]

english/us

[shell geode]

@lethal mango Here is a video on the different keycap profiles and sounds you that you can decide which 'chunky' sound you want https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvSNO2o1zRc

[gentle silo]

any specific budegt, keycaps can get expensive lol

[lethal mango]

ohhh the height of them

bruhh thank you

[shell geode]

No problem!

[lethal mango]

this community is goated fr

[gentle silo]

any specific budegt, keycaps can get expensive lol

[lethal mango]

is 50 dollars good?

[gentle silo]

yea, workable. any specific colors or profile in mind

[lethal mango]

like white

neutral colors would be nice

[gentle silo]

glorious gpbt maybe

[lethal mango]

okok

also is there alternatives for the type c cable on the wooting

i dont like the yellow and black even though it’s not noticeable

[shell raft]

how is the quality of those?

[lethal mango]

i’ve seen ppl with like some swirly white or black cables

[gentle silo]

gmk best in the game lol

[lethal mango]

that looks nice

[shell raft]

yeah but those are clearly not original GMK

xd

[gentle silo]

yea lol, only glaced over it and read gmk XD

[shell raft]

i cant say i am not interested in good quality clones but, i already bought original so

we will see how they fill

[gentle silo]

any decent cable under 2m should do

might have to turn down/turn of rgb tho

[shell raft]

?

what do you think

[gentle silo]

it even says they are ABS double shot lol

[lethal mango]

those are dopee

[lethal mango]

??

[shell raft]

those costs 50-80 usd/euro

[gentle silo]

??

[shell raft]

depends on the country and language version

those are Akko World Tour Tokyo R2 Cherry profile

[lethal mango]

why would i have to turn rgb off because of the cable?

[shell raft]

i have those and the quality is great

[gentle silo]

becuase wooting board pulls way more current then any regular board. with tachyon mode and rgb on this can lead to double/ghost inputs and stuff

[shell raft]

but there is one set i have to buy, thankfully, i have time https://drop.com/buy/drop-full-metal-gmk-mecha-01-r2?defaultSelectionIds=966714

[gentle silo]

here a small note from wooting about other cables #🪛│modding_faq message

[shell raft]

tbh i would go with stock cable, and thinking about knew one when its broken or if u really dont like the aesthetics, but not coiled cable

if u want performance u want to have short cable, coiled cables are very long

[lethal mango]

any usb to type c white cable will work?

[gentle silo]

more or less, not garanteed that you can use full rgb and tachyon mode at the same time tho

[shell geode]

I got a BOGO promo on their DCX during their Spring Cleaning, and I'm sad to see some shining on my WASD keycaps already. I expected the shining, but not so soon. I only game like 5 hours a week max

[gentle silo]

well thats what happens with abs...

2 monthes max until its stats

[shell raft]

thats why i am still afraid of GMK

[shell geode]

Yup I got it for 2 months now

Right on the dot

[shell raft]

so good quality PBT clones would be good

still, there are some GMK sets that i want and probably will buy original

[gentle silo]

i guess, not the biggest fan of clones, and you will never get the cripy gmk legends/the goated sound signature of the caps

[shell geode]

I also have the PBT Matcha set and have had this set for years, there's very little shine and it was like $35

[shell raft]

well ofc, pretty much the only good clone i have seen was Akko's Red & Blue Samurai and Novelkeys Taro

[gentle silo]

well pbt cant shine thats why lol

[shell raft]

but NK Taro are designed by original designer of GMK Taro so

its not really a clone

[gentle silo]

yes those are nice aswell. want to get those too

[shell geode]

Yeah, but it took a lot longer, I think I'd stay away from ABS moving forward

[shell raft]

overall thankfully i am not that amazed by most of GMK sets

and actually epbt is the brand with best designes for me

[gentle silo]

they prolly arent evenen shined, and just dirty/greasy lol

[gentle silo]

PBTfans > NK PBT caps > epbt

[shell geode]

hahaha true, just needs a wipe

[shell raft]

oh, and most of the GMK sets i like are sold out and i am not especially willing to pay even msrp, not to mention aftermarket

oh yeah, pbtfans also

[gentle silo]

got both my gmk sets on a discount for around 80$ each

i have gmk monarch and devoted, both look very nice

[shell raft]

i like quite a lot of those sets there, but they are not special

[ashen smelt]

Just ordered gmk pixels for $80

Think they look p cool

Already have gmk lasers

[shell raft]

i didnt like only Cobalt

but with some other sets like Awaken i felt some kind of connectivity

it was the same when i saw epbt kuro & shiro

[gentle silo]

true, altho gmk monarch is pretty unqie imo and i love the yellow on purple. Devoted is pretty clean and subtle

[shell raft]

monrach is great for warhammer fan like me

because it maches the 3rd legion from Horus Heresy

with custom engraving case it would be totaly dope

[gentle silo]

no clue about that, its inspired by the anime Code geass

[shell raft]

yeah it is

but it maches the cw

[gentle silo]

ik, was talking about the warhammer stuff lol. no clue about that

[shell raft]

lacks only white or black

[gentle silo]

white or black case and the caps

[shell raft]

yeah

[gentle silo]

welp i go to bed now gn

[shell raft]

gn

also, waiting for this set https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=120020.0

[shell geode]

This set is awesome!

[quaint sky]

whats the cheapest case that I can swap out the wooting with?

[pulsar ridge]

Aluminum? The generic gh60 lopro off Aliexpress is like $45 shipped

[quaint sky]

ight ty

[clever harbor]

any recomendations for blank black pbt caps that have iso keys

[mental hemlock]

im proud of you

check amazon

are you in the UK o

[clever harbor]

why 🥹 but thanks

[clever harbor]

nah, bosnia, europe

[mental hemlock]

because people are scared of blank keycaps lol

[clever harbor]

I just ordered a random set off of aliexpress

if it's trash it's trash

[mental hemlock]

I might just put them on i didnt open them yet lol

[clever harbor]

Imma combine them with the tai hao rubber ones on the main keys I use in game

should look kinda sick

[mental hemlock]

bet gang

Do you wanna see mine

[clever harbor]

yessir

[mental hemlock]

@clever harbor

[clever harbor]

my current setup, black blanks should go wild with the pink rubber ones

adds some contrast yk

[clever harbor]

that's so cleeeean

the white ones look almost ceramic

that's a custom case as well no?

[mental hemlock]

Im trynna build an all black keyboard

no its a royal kludge

no wooting just yet

[clever harbor]

ahh I see

[mental hemlock]

i plan to use jwick blacks

paint the plate black

its gonna look sick

[clever harbor]

I think the optimum tech guy uses a full blacked out wooting

[mental hemlock]

I just need a cheap pcb

[clever harbor]

for sure

I went all white with my setup and now im kinda sick of it

black table, case, mouse, skypad, keycaps

so Im switching them out one by one lmao

[mental hemlock]

exactly

[clever harbor]

(the table and case are gonna stay probably) but yk

[mental hemlock]

all of it is black so i might as well do all black as well

now its time to paint the mouse black lo

[clever harbor]

gonna look clean af for sure

[mental hemlock]

ima need to 3d print a base for it

[clever harbor]

hahah it's the gpx ?

[mental hemlock]

thank you

yeah

[clever harbor]

can probably snag a black one and sell ur white one

then u just need to deal with the G logo

[mental hemlock]

I freaked it up tho

[clever harbor]

I just ordered the new lamzu 4k, it's fully black

[mental hemlock]

rubbed the logo off

[clever harbor]

pre-ordered*

[mental hemlock]

Id honestly rather paint it

or should i start with a brand new mouse

[clever harbor]

There's some new cool stuff out there if u've been on the gpx for a while

[mental hemlock]

The only thing i wanna do is make it usb c compatible\

[clever harbor]

what I have currently

[mental hemlock]

there was a guy selling a module but i dont know what happened to him

probably assassinated by Logitech

[clever harbor]

logi on their nintendo arc

they're just trolling at this point with not releasing a new gpx

I switched to a lamzu a few months ago and honestly enjoy the shape much more, not to mention it's lighter and usb c

[mental hemlock]

they better get optical switches and 4k or 8k polling

motherfuckers

I wanna stick w them cause i trust them

[clever harbor]

they gotta out do razer or not do it at all tbh

yeah I like logi as well, have a bunch of their stuff

just currently at this moment, for everything they make there's a better option on the market

they gave me a free keyboard when I asked for a dongle tho, so their support is always gonna be top tier for me

[mental hemlock]

does the dongle actually do anything

i bought mine second hand i kinda fucked up lol

i bought it for 120 already modded

shoulda just gotten a new one for 100

but its okay i learned a lot

[clever harbor]

I mean can't connect 2.4ghz without the lightspeed dongle

[manic plume]

Lamzu Atlantis is fire

[mental hemlock]

not the dongle but it looks like once

one

[clever harbor]

truly is, the mini is my favorite mouse at the moment

got the 4k preordered

[manic plume]

Yeah I got the mini too

[mental hemlock]

its something that connects to the cablke

cable

[clever harbor]

that's just the adapter I think

when i ordfered the g915 tkl kb, my lightspeed dongle didn't work. So I wrote to Logi and they said they'll send me a new one

[mental hemlock]

what does it do

[clever harbor]

sent me a whole new keyboard

[mental hemlock]

aweseme

[clever harbor]

makes it so u can put the dongle in front of your mouse or whatever

if there's interference

[clever harbor]

small builds are so cleeeean

what specs u got in there

[mental hemlock]

nothing crazy

my friends 2080 ti, and a 5700G

[clever harbor]

it looks very nice

my next build ill probably go small form factor as well

[mental hemlock]

youre gonna like it a lot lol

The Formd T1 to me looks the best but its a bitch to build in

[foggy cape]

July needs to come sooner

I just need this case and I’m done with mods

[grizzled tartan]

I got the X2 Clear

that shit fire

[last ginkgo]

For people that modded using Klippe T, can I use the foam that Mekanisk sells?

[mental hemlock]

yea

[severe dune]

They have the preorders up? I just purchased the OG V2 4k. I was looking at the mini but only have the previous model only

[glacial wind]

You can if you want extra foam, but nothing wrong with using the foam from your stock wooting too - it’s good quality

[mental hemlock]

Personally I’d use different foam

The stock one isn’t the best compared to others

[glacial wind]

It’s honestly same quality as the ones I’ve ordered from various keyboard sites

It’s quite good quality

Unless you don’t want that type of foam I don’t really see any difference there

[mental hemlock]

Can’t sleep gang

[elder trout]

@mental hemlock I'm wit ya

[marble shuttle]

🤣

[mental hemlock]

pure sex

[marble shuttle]

@mental hemlock %100

[inland ocean]

What is the foam in the 60HE?

[bronze grove]

which one?

[inland ocean]

in the case bottom

[bronze grove]

Straight from the product page.

[inland ocean]

ah both parts of the base foam are "EPDM"?

New tofu 60 redux from kbdfans announced, and they liked my comment asking for a possible blade60 redux 👀

[bronze grove]

Old news at this point 😄

[upbeat delta]

Slept on this i imagine, but I really hope they bring the blade back

[paper seal]

https://kbdfans.com/products/tofu60-redux-case add this one to the list maybe?

[marble shuttle]

@paper seal they released this after I bought tofu60 kit 3 weeks ago lmao

[twin field]

It’s not out yet, comes out in July so I guess it will be added once people confirm it fits well

[marble shuttle]

@twin field its wooting pcb compatable you dont have to confirm

[twin field]

Well yeah I know it says it is, but it’s best to get peoples feedback on it before adding it in all honesty

[marble shuttle]

yeah agree with that opinion @twin field

[glacial wind]

They’re definitely making it specifically because of wooting demand. All the videos under it are for wooting and wooting is bolded

[glossy pagoda]

Their poor customer support innundated with angry emails about Tofu2.0v2 not being compatible with our keyboards... 😛

I'm sure they're also aware of us making our own aluminum case and pushing to get (back to) market first

[paper seal]

Rip

[marble shuttle]

@paper seal I am thinking still get one 😄

becuase I got extra pcb can build one more keyboard

[paper seal]

Ah yeah

[marble shuttle]

if it is 100-150 why not

[paper seal]

I still need a different case for my wooting

Was thinking of the freebird60

But that one is out of stock

[gentle silo]

fb60 is only available as a full kit rn AFAIK. Maybe klippe t or the wooting case/tofu60 Redux once they release.

[shell raft]

Last time was 90 euros, so i dont expect that it will cost more than 150

[marble shuttle]

yeah me too

because tofu 2.0 was 165 i guess

[paper seal]

I mainly want the freebird60 because of the angle height

7/8 degrees is a bit too high for me

[gentle silo]

Fair enough, maybe the wooting case will be more like 5-6 degrees

[paper seal]

Let's hope so

[gentle silo]

There are still a few KBDFans 5 Degree in stock maybe that’s an option if you want a 5degree typing angle

[paper seal]

Which colors?

I prefer black/dark grey

[gentle silo]

Silver and only in a uk store

[paper seal]

Sad

Thanks for the help tho

[obtuse latch]

anyone knows about the keycaps? any keycpas that i buy will work or what do i gotta look out for so i do not end up fucking myself over

[bronze grove]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[obtuse latch]

so its just the enter button thats different right

[gentle silo]

And maybe some country specific keys. Depends ofc on what keyboard layout you type

[bronze grove]

No

[obtuse latch]

oh my i am blind so sorry

so as long as i get the ANSI version which my wooting is i should be good. right?

first time into custom modding my keyboard mb

[bronze grove]

Yep

[ember gorge]

Wait does iso just have more buttons

I never realised

[bronze grove]

One more, yes. With the shift key being shorter there's an additiona key there.

[clever harbor]

yeah maxgaming got it on preorder for europe

[inland ocean]

ISO also doesn't have a stab on left shift - I think ANSI does?

[gentle silo]

Correct

[severe dune]

I checked the site it’s now for order at Lamzu

[clever harbor]

nice

maxgaming said theyll be shipping it around the 20th, I just got it with some other stuff to save on shipping

europe gets chalked shipping fees so I just bundle as much as I can

[severe dune]

Oh ok that makes sense. Europe shipping fees from what I notice are atrocious

[clever harbor]

yeah sadly for most of this enthusiast stuff

[hidden badger]

Anyone ever resleeve the stock wooting 60he cable? The whole “take control” black/yellow design looks fine, but isn’t for me.

[marble shuttle]

@hidden badger you can use that cable until you buy new one I did it too ( nevermind I understand wrong )

[hidden badger]

eyeroll

[gentle silo]

sure works, but youd have to cut of the usb housings and try to salvage them/fit new ones. imo not worth the pain. i personally didnt do it, tho i see no reason this wouldnt work

Some nice keycaps go a long way

[marble shuttle]

is that 60 keebamat

[hidden badger]

looks great. i have some keycaps en route and i'd like to do color matching with the cable. i could buy one or make one from scratch but i was mainly wondering how easy it is to re-use the connector housing to preserve the wooting logos.

[marble shuttle]

why does it look big 😄

[gentle silo]

no tkl

[hidden badger]

what case is that?

[gentle silo]

just looking at the connectors id say you cant reuse them

[gentle silo]

wilba.tech salvation

[hidden badger]

sound profile on the 60he is already so much better than my old keyboard that i don't know if i'll bother with case mods.

[gentle silo]

well it can be even better lol, imo the stock wooting is a lot better then other stock boars but nothing special sound wise, its a bit more clack

[late pulsar]

Walhaut enjoyer

[gentle silo]

correct also got a smooth criminal

[late pulsar]

Same

Nice! PSD60?

i actually went with this case from aliexpress, worth it IMO https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805158305721.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.66fd1802ASG93C&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

basically a tofu clone

[shell geode]

Oh yeah, that's the unbranded PSD60, I have this exact one as well in white. It is close to the tofu60 but is an exact copy of the PSD60. It's great for the price, which is on sale right now for $63! I bought it at $80 😭

[bitter bluff]

hey anybody knows if the lubes that wooting provide are both non conductive?

im lubing my switches and stabs

i tried the keyboard with a few switches

and it started glitching and typing random stuff

[true niche]

Ooooo wowowowow, they are actually quite heavy too which I like. This is a first for me in terms of aluminum casing. I came from a plastic lightweight case and I'll admit, I like it when the keyboard does not move at all while I'm typing. And it's okay, I got mine at 75

[shell geode]

All good! We got in early and helped confirm its compatibility for the 60he. If you check out my post in Wootstations, I added a brass weight in the cavity to make it a bit heavier! Not much, but I wanted to fill it with a weight rather than foam

[true niche]

Nice, I'll definitely check it out

[slow iris]

Is there some keyboard feet to buy to upgrade the default ones on a 5degree kbd fans case? The ones i have are so bad that the keyboard i tilting back and forth🥲

Or some other way to fix it

[inland ocean]

Do u know roughly what it weighs?

[true niche]

i would say about 3 lbs?

[inland ocean]

Really? Is that fully built or just the case?

[true niche]

fully built, by itself, the website states 2.6 lbs

[inland ocean]

Can u link please?

[shell geode]

Do you want the link to actual product, or are you looking where it specifically says 2.6 lbs?

[inland ocean]

The one with weight - just wanted to look at more info on it, saw the link above but couldn't see any weight - but I am on phone atm so might just be blind 😂

[wind geode]

How do I make my keyboard really loud and heavy

[inland ocean]

Tie it to a washing machine and throw it out the window

[inland ocean]

in all seriousness tho - I'm pretty new to all this but I would guess it depend on the sound signature u was going for - taking the dampening out and adding anything as a weight would make it louder & heavier tho

[gentle silo]

My salvation build is about 4 pounds

[teal raven]

modelled and 3d printed a keyboard at school

i also laser cutter some polycarbonate

atm i forgot to add a type c cutout

and it wa skinda the last fay of school so the print didnt come out as I wanted and i didnt have enough time to use the mothod to oeint all the peices

this is what it looks like rn i had to make some counterbore becuase the screw set i got measured the whole screw length instead of the thread length

[inland ocean]

thats awesome - well done 👍

[thick mural]

@gentle silo plate gaskets came

just gotta pick up my plate tomorrow and i can start reassembling

[shell geode]

Great job in making your own case!!

[gaunt echo]

has anyone modded the big keyboard

[normal schooner]

not that im aware of. you mean the full right?

[gaunt echo]

yeah

i dont really like the plastic box case

[normal schooner]

you need to make a custom case yourself for that. :/

its not a "standard" case you can just swap

[gaunt echo]

what will i have to do never done anything like this before

[shell geode]

You'll need to design a case using CAD software, then find a shop that you can get a quote for it being made for you

[flint niche]

guys i need case idea please!!!!

[shell geode]

whatchu need

[gentle silo]

Exited to see the results

[flint niche]

iwanna swap the case

[normal schooner]

do u want to swap the case now orr?

in 2 months

[flint niche]

if something good gonna come up

ill wait 2 months

[normal schooner]

we're working on a alu case 😉

hoping to release it end of summer

[flint niche]

is it gonna be under wooting brnad?

[coral gorge]

Of course

[zenith minnow]

What are the differences between the stock keycaps and the keycaps that you can buy on the site?

[gentle silo]

what keycaps do you mean?

generally the difference in just the color and maybe the font on the legends (expect the take control and abs caps) the take controll caps use another method to color the keycap and the abs keycaps are a different material

[zenith minnow]

The ://blank keycaps

[gentle silo]

are those the one you have or the ones you are looking at

[zenith minnow]

Was just looking at them

[gentle silo]

if you have the standard pbt keycaps, then there is basically no differerence other then the font and maybe the color (depends on what caps you have ofc.)

[zenith minnow]

So they're just the stock keycaps then?

[gentle silo]

basically yea. If you have the stock PBT keycaps

[zenith minnow]

Ah okay, apprecie the help

Thanks

[proven shore]

So this is how only tape mod and lubed switches sound like in the vanilla Wooting 60HE case

[shell geode]

Yup, sounds like Wooting alright, you can probably pick it out of a lineup even

[untold wigeon]

can someone recommend me a good case?

[mental hemlock]

Tofu 60

[glacial wind]

There’s a bunch, check the list in modding faq pin

[grizzled tartan]

the sound of the sticky keys lol

also

how di I get rid of this wierd sound from my 5 degree case

[shell geode]

I attempted to reduce my travel distance on my WASD keys for when I game. Even though I set my actuation to 0.1mm, I still bottom out on every stroke and wanted a quicker return. I used rubber o-rings with OD 6mm ID 3mm and put them on the stem pole and not only did it reduce travel by 1-2mm, it made the keys quieter which could be helpful if you game at night. Yes, there is a slight mushy feeling, but its much more firm than that mushy feeling you get when you put o-rings between the keycaps and the switches. I'll probably try to improve by finding hard plastic o-rings if those exist 👍

[mental hemlock]

how hard

[shell geode]

Are you referring to how firm the mushy feeling is?

[mental hemlock]

how hard do you want the hard o rings to be

[shell geode]

I'd do hard plastic o-rings if they had those somewhere in this size

[glacial wind]

Isn’t rapid trigger kind of negating benefit of a shorter travel distance?

[mental hemlock]

No

[glacial wind]

How so?

[mental hemlock]

You set the travel distance

[lime cape]

keycaps from where bro ? i like em

[glacial wind]

I guess if he’s going for sound benefit? But for the actuation stuff rapid trigger and/or continuous rapid trigger where needed would mean the keys would actuate and cut off precisely when you want to wouldn’t it

[mental hemlock]

Speak clearly

[glacial wind]

Yeah so the travel distance wouldn’t make it more responsive in his case

[mental hemlock]

Who is he?

[glacial wind]

? Obviously the guy talking who just mentioned changing travel distance of the key

[coral gorge]

It’s basically say it in the photo, read the las part

[glacial wind]

So it’s for sound then I guess

According to the last part

[coral gorge]

[glacial wind]

I’m saying the changing of the travel distance for his wasd doesn’t change the responsiveness if that was his aim

[mental hemlock]

This is why I’m not friends with anyone from the EU

They’re all slow

[glacial wind]

I’m not from EU, and isn’t that statement correct?

The entire point of rapid trigger in conjunction with continuous rapid trigger is the reset isn’t fixed anymore

So going back to the top doesn’t matter

[coral gorge]

Welll the point of rapid trigger is so people can repeat key faster

[haughty scarab]

would this fit the wooting ive been looking all over for a acrylic case https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804307637718.html

[glacial wind]

Well yes and no, depends on the usage of the keys. In osu it is but on other games the main part is the the cut off for wasd

[coral gorge]

Well there is a review of somebody’s that bought for the wooting so I think it fit not sure

[glacial wind]

Oh wait I get it, he’s trying to mimic a stronger spring

[weak mica]

Let’s hope they didn’t break the pub trying to fit it

Pcb

[glacial wind]

Oh I see the confusion, you guys thought I was asking a question not talking to the guy above doing wasd mods

[weak mica]

Unless you have the tools to grind it down and risk the board I wouldn’t do it

[haughty scarab]

yea preciate it ill just stick too aluminum since easier cop

[weak mica]

I’m just gonna wait for wootings case, will atleast be safer

[coral gorge]

Same here

[haughty scarab]

yea ill prolly just do that also just gotta deal with black board for a lil while then

[mental hemlock]

Don’t do it @haughty scarab they’re releasing a new Tofu

[twin field]

The new KBD fans coming out for wooting has a frosted acrylic by the looks of it

[river reef]

Good to know, was really tempted on cerakey

Drunkdeer is really good tbh

Also nano tape for tape mod with wooting

That shit makes it thock and pop so well

Keebtape is literally just a big piece of nano tape

[shell geode]

You're right. If my actuation is already set at 0.1mm and resets the moment I depress, the speed is the same, I just don't have to travel as far to bottom out. You're also right in that my other intent was to reduce noise on those keys during gaming, which is what I use this board mainly for anyways, with the occasional chat typing. Moving forward, I plan to put the o rings on the whole board to minimize noise while typing too.

[fickle vector]

Gewalt your name pisses me off

Why Riwia

It should be Wiwia

Tbh it's a subtle change I think people will still recognise you

[shell geode]

Yup, waiting to go out one day and save the billionaire that happened to walk in front of a moving bus

Truly a moving story

[shell geode]

Nano tape?? I must try
