And I am explaining how it works everywhere.

If you wanted a custom set, the seller would have to make you a custom mold.

Thousands of dollars.

[dry wigeon]

Ok got it 😄

And I guess it's the same problem for other types of keycaps too? Like rubber, aluminium or other

[bronze grove]

Each material is different. PBT is just very difficult to work with, but also very efficient once ready.

Metal ones I would imagine could be engraved by a machine on a order by order basis, if the seller wanted to.

[gentle silo]

the caps also have to be cnc'd i guess sound very expensive aswell

[dry wigeon]

That sucks, sounds like I will not have my custom keycaps lol

[sacred mountain]

hi :)

[normal schooner]

welcome flum 🙂

[gentle silo]

you can create your own keycaps set here, but idk to what extend this is possible/ if changing legends is a thing https://www.wasdkeyboards.com/products/keycaps/keycap-set.html

what custom legends would you need anyways?

[dry wigeon]

Having like ctrl and windows on the same cap

Oh looks like we can upload our design!!

[signal pine]

after the announcement about the new switches, i was wondering.. is there anything stopping a user from modding the switches with new springs themselves?

[somber scroll]

No. But they have to be non-magnetic and the correct size. Not easy to find those

[signal pine]

non-magnetic.. so aluminum springs of the right size and strength

i can see why those would be difficult to find

what are most switch springs made of?

and can i make my own plastic springs with a resin 3D printer? :p

[zinc gust]

Is it me or are all the aftermarket allum cases for 60HE in the pin either sold out, discontinued, or no longer compatible?

[austere creek]

some steel

but there is non alu metals that are non magnetic

[bronze grove]

There's a reason why we're making one 😄

[fervent osprey]

You can still get the GH60 or PSD60, even mekanisk case if you’re feeling generous with your money.

[zinc gust]

Wooooooaahhhhh I must’ve missed that on the announcements that’s awesome

[zinc gust]

I will definitely look mostly my fault cause I’m picky and want a thick hefty boi case much appreciated

[mild anvil]

so the new spring L45 is coming lubbed with switch ?

[signal pine]

i looked around a bit but couldn't find any heavier or lighter springs that would work with the lekker switches, sucks :p

[austere creek]

as mentioned you need to contact a manufacturer

and get them made specially

[signal pine]

heavier springs would be nice to try, since the wooting has a use for more force per switch

[austere creek]

aka buy a few thousand as they otherwise wont even entertain manufacturing them

[austere creek]

the issue is the demand for such springs

[signal pine]

perhaps Wooting themselves could consider having them manufactured if there's enough demand 👀

[signal pine]

yeah i can't imagine many people would even pay attention to the springs when the Wooting keyboards already have so many cool features

other than lighter ones, since yk, osu gameplay

[austere creek]

osu wasnt the biggest community asking for lighter springs

fortnite was

or well FPS in general

[signal pine]

oh, damn

i wasn't expecting that

[mild anvil]

so the new spring L45 is coming lubbed with switch ?

[austere creek]

factory lubed

just like the l60 switches already in the board

[teal hill]

osu doesnt really benefit that much from even lighter than 45

[austere creek]

i didnt say they would

[teal hill]

i know i know

[signal pine]

oh well, i can't wait for my Two HE to arrive to its destination warehouse, i'm excited to see just how good the keyboard is :>

[teal hill]

I want a 60HE in a korn

[signal pine]

hoping it doesn't end up chattering like my old K70

[glacial wind]

I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of the demand for fps lighter spring is from folks seeing tenz and such do it

[signal pine]

either way, we as customers now have more options, and that's always quite nice

gonna be around for the ride, i can't wait to see what becomes of Wooting as a company

[glacial wind]

Yeah more options is always nice. I do wonder how many are able to use the 0.1 actuation and lighter springs though, it’s so sensitive already for me with stock

[signal pine]

wonder if we'll ever see low profile lekker switches

or if anyone's ever going to make their own 👀

[balmy coral]

Where is the best place to find keycap optioons for the wooting in Europe?

[signal pine]

afaik any standard keycap works with the lekker switches

don't think you need to look at anything specific to Wooting keyboards

[balmy coral]

I'm just not sure where to even start looking in Europe as most sites seem US focused

And I worry the stuff on amazon is trash.

Just wanted to have a look at nice quality options

[signal pine]

Amazon usually isn't the worst, but also not the best

diykeycap is what my friend picked

[glacial wind]

Really comes down to what keycaps you want. There’s a ton of sites for eu - candykeys, mykeyboard, coffeekeys, keygem just to name a few

Easier to look for a particular set you like then see if it’s in stock from an eu vendor (or kdbfans also has an aliexpress store which has slow but very cheap shipping anywhere)

[prisma cosmos]

did anyone test lekker L60 vs L50 when the L50 came out?

wondering if it's that big a of difference

even with this L45 now

[balmy coral]

Fantastic, thanks, I'll explore them!

[rustic wyvern]

With us being able to purchase just packs of switches now, does this mean that you technically don't have to buy the Wooting 60HE to get the best low latency switches on the market? I could just buy the switches and throw them into my keyboard and get the desired performance right? Or do you need the PCB and switches for it to work to it's full potential?

[bronze grove]

You would still need a hall effect based PCB and firmware that is as good as ours.

The switch is a component, not the entire product.

[rustic wyvern]

I see, thank you.

[late pulsar]

As good as it gets for now

• lubed
• fr4 plate
• durock stabs
• aliexpress case foam

[late pulsar]

Until the Tofu Redux comes out and I get a white one 😂

[gentle silo]

very nice pad you got there 👀

[late pulsar]

Came today 🌚

[gentle silo]

oh, from the new batches

[late pulsar]

As well as the standoffs

Was a good afternoon

[gentle silo]

do you know the difference to the "old" ones?

[late pulsar]

Edge stitching is better, and I like the surface more

Had a white 600x500 before though

[placid blaze]

@main cipher Even if Wooting doesn't end up manufacturing heavier springs is there any way you could provide us with a manufacturer source where we could purchase some ourselves? (If they exist)

[gentle silo]

better surface... i see, did they also change the base? my pads are sliding around like crazy

[light drift]

am i just being dumb, when i take out my switches one side of the clips gets a bit scuffed. When i put it back in, it's a bit looser than it was

[late pulsar]

No sliding at all on ikea tables 😂

[inland ocean]

What mouse pad is it? can someone link??

[gentle silo]

i doubt they would sell in such low quantityes. youd prolly have to buy like 10-20k springs to even get them to respond

[gentle silo]

both my walhaut and smooth criminal slide a lot...

[late pulsar]

https://laonda.shop/products/smooth-criminal-mousepad?variant=46829724402007

[late pulsar]

Do you have them sitting on top of your deskmat?

[gentle silo]

no just on my desk, i also remember them sticking way better... idk maybe dried out

[late pulsar]

Wait a sec

I‘ll go compare

Base seems grippier on skin

[gentle silo]

Look how it slides lol

[late pulsar]

Holy shit

[gentle silo]

this pad is new btw. bought in the sale like a week ago

[bronze tundra]

Even my knockoff 9 dollar pad from amazon is more stable than that lmao

JFC

[late pulsar]

that’s not good. Maybe talk to the whale for a replacement?

[austere creek]

how well it sticks depends on not just the pad but also the table

[clear kindle]

Are the new switches now the lighter springs or what is new about them?

ik one is lighter

[bronze grove]

Lighter spring, different colour to tell them apart easily.

[clear kindle]

ah ok thx

[late pulsar]

Maybe tighter tolerances? 👀

[gentle silo]

tbf my arm is mega sweaty rn cuz it has 30 degrees in my room

[bronze grove]

Should be the same. I am not 100% sure if the different amount of lube that Calder mentions is just the L45 or also the L60. I would imagine just the L45s.

[late pulsar]

Already ordered a pack of 70 lol

I hope I like them stock, lubing is such a chore

[gentle silo]

but its so worth it...

[clear kindle]

Is there going to be like a guide on Yt on how to install the new switches?

or is there already one

[placid blaze]

Do you have any affiliation w/ the white and orange KS-20s that Gateron released/are releasing or are they just HS compatible but not from you guys?

[austere creek]

gateron makes the lekkers.

[untold wigeon]

Do yall think tape mod would be a good idea for the wooting

[placid blaze]

Right, my question is if you guys worked together w/ them on the white/orange ones outside of the initial specifications you set up when designing the Lekker standard, if that makes sense.

Like, are they independent from what Wooting could acknowledge in the lineup of switches? (Which is now L60 and L45 I guess)

[marsh juniper]

https://youtu.be/7-52JsgdvsA?t=292
not realy a guide but pretty easy to remove switch's with a switch puller

[clear kindle]

thx

[obsidian dagger]

the statement says "keyboards" tho so that would imply l60 too

idk

[shell geode]

If they did or didn't, are you concerned that those switches aren't compatible with the Wooting pcb?

[fluid ravine]

ah good afternoon

i am here!

[shell geode]

Good morning!

[fluid ravine]

what we talkin about today :)

[placid blaze]

not at all, my reading capabilities are solid lol just curious if Wooting worked w/ them for those 2 switches

[shell geode]

We seem to be talking about switches and springs

[placid blaze]

I'm especially interested in the silenced ones

[fluid ravine]

ah ok

[shell geode]

I see, I'm also interested in the silent ones, too bad I can't put them on my Woot though

[placid blaze]

huh, how come?

[shell geode]

The silent ones aren't hall effect sensors, I also shared the article myself up top

[placid blaze]

huuuuh

[shell geode]

https://mechkeys.com/blogs/news/gateron-launches-all-new-0-silent-switches-magnetic-hall-sensor-switches-optical-2-0-switches

[placid blaze]

I'm on the same webpage, they surely specify hall sensor switches

[shell geode]

Oh, the KS-20 are silent?

[placid blaze]

gee I could have sworn somebody said the oranges were buy they might've gotten mixed up

sigh, dreams dashed

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

ahh you even corrected them there

[shell geode]

Haha right, I like reading from the source to not get confused

[placid blaze]

well when there's box stem switches released we can at least take solace in that in lieu of silent ones

honestly I could see A LOT of people purchasing silents though

[shell geode]

Those would be cool!

I'm in the market for silent ones myself and ordered some Sea Salt silents before I saw Gateron's release, I hope they are good and Im waiting to see a review of the Gateron silent soon

[placid blaze]

I'm all in on $WOOTNG sadly

can't get enough of the feel of HE switches

kind of like shooting yourself in the foot if you like variety or different layouts, but hey at least the performance is second to none

[untold wigeon]

true

[placid blaze]

I'm just gonna be farming copium until they relese the L150g switches

[shell geode]

I love my Woot and its function and I look forward to using it everyday, but I don't like the springy-ness of the Lekker

[placid blaze]

I feel the opposite honestly! I really love the typing feel etc.

goes to show how much varience there is in the keeb community 🤝

[shell geode]

As it should be!

[placid blaze]

I even like the general sound profile of the Lekkers, but they could do with some muffling

the clack is nice, it's just ridiculously loud stock

IMO

[untold wigeon]

what mods did you use for your own

[shell geode]

I know the team has put a lot of work into the design and it would only get better from here

[placid blaze]

I messed up the silicone mod that @somber scroll introduced me to, tape modded, switched out the stabs (not necessary), tape modded and lubed up the switches. Along with that I'm using an aluminium case and keycaps and have a semi-gasket mount in my case, which has car sound dampener at the bottom of it. (The central H-G screw is screwed in to keep the PCB secure)

[somber scroll]

Ugh gateron gib silent switches plox

[placid blaze]

speak of the devil

[somber scroll]

Lol

[placid blaze]

tbh it's not a messed up mod at all, some keys stick every 20 mins or so but it's totally usable
my application was hella inconsistent though

[somber scroll]

I think my silicone is coming off the bottoms of my stems on some keys. I probably should’ve cleaned the factory lube off better and/or I need to somehow put it in the bottom of the switch housing instead of on the stem 😡

[untold wigeon]

where did you put the tape

[placid blaze]

bottom of the PCB

[somber scroll]

Yeah usability on mine has been fantastic. Besides a few of them starting to come off

[placid blaze]

so I like to use 1-2 layers of masking tape and then 2-3 layers of electrical tape

the masking tape is just so I don't get nasty sticky residue on the PCB

[untold wigeon]

ohhh

so electrical is for the noise and the masking is so it doesn't dirty the PCB

[placid blaze]

yep!

[untold wigeon]

thank you

[placid blaze]

I mean masking tape also affects the sound I'm guessing

[untold wigeon]

I would assume yeah

[placid blaze]

honestly maybe a controversial take but the tape mod is genuinely the mod that makes the biggest difference in terms of changing up the sound to me

[bronze grove]

The 60HE PCB is covered in a protective resin of sorts. It ain't getting dirty.

[placid blaze]

right, I just don't want it to be mad sticky either

[untold wigeon]

but im gonna be smart and assume you put the masking over the electrical

[placid blaze]

nope

[untold wigeon]

oh I didn't even know

[placid blaze]

masking tape directly on the PCB and electrical tape over the masking tape

[untold wigeon]

damn

[placid blaze]

that way there's no nasty residue and it's super easy to peel off if I need to

[untold wigeon]

true

[somber scroll]

I can vouch for that. I typically use it in the sandbox with my kids and never had an issue

Jk that’s a complete lie

[placid blaze]

no shot mine survived water damage 💀

like 10 or so LEDs are busted but it's really not that bad

[untold wigeon]

I was gonna say

[placid blaze]

I genuinely didn't think it'd be possible for a PCB to survive water damage

[shell geode]

https://tenor.com/view/yikes-david-rose-david-dan-levy-schitts-creek-gif-20850879

[placid blaze]

my beloved 60HE was suffering for a week or two, had to switch back

but now it works

[placid blaze]

hey man I was fearful that my beloved KB couldn't be typed on any more, LEDs are just cosmetic in comparison

[shell geode]

haha glad its just LED and nothing worse

[untold wigeon]

honestly

tbh im probably not gonna have my RGB on much at all

[placid blaze]

it was bad for a while, like pretty much unusable because some keys weren't working and some keys would count as 5 presses at once

I left it for a week or two just chilling in my room

plugged it in one day and took a BIIIIIIIG huff of copium

and it worked

the Wooting 60HE is clearly a fairytale keyboard.

[untold wigeon]

it fixed itself the wooting has magic😱

[untold wigeon]

LOL

[placid blaze]

naw seriously

I'm not the kind of dumbass to water damage stuff often

but when I do, I don't expect it to come back from the ashes after a few weeks

[untold wigeon]

yeah wooting might have to add your story to their marketing

[shell geode]

https://tenor.com/view/damn-wow-gif-22787734

[untold wigeon]

thats actually magical though

[placid blaze]

yeah nah after it survived I was trying to market the keyboard to all the homies

[untold wigeon]

as you should

[late pulsar]

Started off as an RGB enjoyer, now it looks like this 😂

[placid blaze]

I need everyone to buy a Wooting so that they'll release a planck layout PCB for me

[untold wigeon]

it looks dead lol

[placid blaze]

the mouse is a nice accent

[untold wigeon]

I bought one yesterday :D

[placid blaze]

I pretty much just use white on my RGB settings and have diff colours for certain keys on function layers

[untold wigeon]

hot take: pure white light>RGB

[late pulsar]

True

If lighting, then white

[placid blaze]

tbh ever since they introduced per-layer RGB I do like it in moderation

having per-key RGB is incredibly useful for indicating things sometimes but if I had to choose a single colour white backlight >

[untold wigeon]

yeah I agree

[late pulsar]

Have my numpad for macros so not needed 😄

[untold wigeon]

ew numpad

jk

you do you

[placid blaze]

my one and only beef with Wooting is that Wootomation is a separate utility from the Wootility. Having macros be programmed on a hardware level would be way better than what we currently have IMO. Dynamic keystroke is good but just a turbo feature / turbo multiple keys feature would be huge on the kb honestly

[fluid ravine]

nice wrist rest

lovin it

[late pulsar]

25€ from keygem

[tiny lion]

I have a question wich usb c to usb a cable can recommend for a wooting over the original one yellow and black I looking only for black cable any help thanks

[bronze grove]

Anker makes great cables.

Get one that is shorter than 2m that can carry data.

[tiny lion]

@bronze grove wich one do you have a link please

[bronze grove]

Uh...

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-2-Pack-Charging-MacBook-Samsung/dp/B09LCJPZ1P

Like this? Geeksocial Spiralkabel USB Typ C 1,8m für Mechanische Gaming-Tastatur GX16-Stecker Paracord mit Doppelten Ummantelung (Schwarz) https://amzn.eu/d/e2S7iy9

Are this good?

[normal schooner]

aviator cables not the best

heard good stuff from this guy with lemo connetors

https://keebstuff.com/collections/premade-1

(german dude)

[bronze grove]

Aviator is generally not a problem. The length though...

But Y'all never mentioned COILS, only a black cable

[tiny lion]

This look great but I don’t know wich variants are good

[normal schooner]

what mansen sais the length

under 1.8m is good

[tiny lion]

How long are the original from wooting?

[bronze grove]

6ft/1.8m total.

[tiny lion]

Nice also 1.8m are great?

Sorry for so much question

[bronze grove]

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

[fervent osprey]

Shorter than 2m is including 2m of length?

[tiny lion]

And wich one from here can you recommend me @normal schooner https://keebstuff.com/collections/premade-1

[normal schooner]

from all the people you ask im the worst person with color palette taste

I think the lemo connector is cool thats it

[fervent osprey]

I have Krytox gpl105, 205g0, switch films, sheets of different foams, orings for burger mount. Am I still missing something or finally I’m ready to mod?

[fathom fiber]

you can't really film the lekker switches

[fervent osprey]

We had a conversation about it here today. With specific films apparently you can.

[dry wigeon]

I used these here https://divinikey.com/collections/switch-films/products/tx-switch-films. Works well

[fervent osprey]

Yeah, but am I missing something or is that everything? I’m making sure I have everything when the keyboard comes because some of the things are still gonna take time to come.

[shell geode]

That looks about it! You're ready to mod!

[somber scroll]

Nah he’s missing gasket maker

[fluid ravine]

yesss u cannn

!!!

[fair mountain]

In the announcement about the new switch, it says (new spring product is under development), does this mean that something different from the L45 will be released in the future?

[inland ocean]

Havn't had much free time but I've got my films fitting pretty nice now

[ashen smelt]

Will you be selling?

Or maybe try selling the design to wooting for them to sell

[ashen smelt]

What size do you get

[inland ocean]

I wouldn't think wooting would be interested in producing them

I'll give the STL to anyone who wants it but still adjusting atm

lekker switch has a dip at the bottom also

[ashen smelt]

I think the demand is decent for films

[ashen smelt]

Should I get .125 or .15?

If I wanted to buy the divinikey ones

[inland ocean]

no idea how well any of them work, but I saw Geon, Wuque studio & tx films be recommended

so i'd just pick whichever looks closest to the photo above/whatever u can get

0.15mm seems to be a good size, but the difference between 0.125/0.15 is very small 😛

[ashen smelt]

I imagine .15 will make it tighter?

Never used films before

Do they fix wobble or smth like that?

[inland ocean]

check ur switches atm

hold the bottom housing & wiggle the top

it'll get rid of that play

and... your likely to get less stem wobble too as a result

[ashen smelt]

Cool

I hate the wobble. That’s the only issue I’ve had

With the feel at least

[fluid ravine]

doesnt matter

they both work well

[inland ocean]

The reason I say go for 0.15 is just because on some of my switches

i've needed as much as 0.175 to remove the play completely

granted that was only for like 1 or 2 switches, and they had almost no movement with 0.15

also tried 0.2 and I didn't like the way it felt snapping the top housing back on...

[fluid ravine]

.15 it is

[ashen smelt]

Which films are you using?

[fluid ravine]

not using any

im just in the shadows collecting and sharing data

i will do more mods to my wooting but what i have done right now is hella a lot better than stock

[inland ocean]

What have u done out of curiosity?

Mines stock right now... got quite a bit of stuff arriving tomorrow so trying to get these films finished so I can spend the weekend modding😛

[fluid ravine]

@inland ocean

[fluid ravine]

whatchu buy

have alot mods that i can think of doin to my keeb

[inland ocean]

That sounds really nice....

[fluid ravine]

you can do tempest mod rn (even though it really doesnt do much)

[inland ocean]

Tempest mod (4 layers)
Tape Mod (around the Module 2 layers)

[fluid ravine]

yeah

that

[inland ocean]

whats the differencewith tempest/tape mod? I thought it was the same thing

[fluid ravine]

it is the same thing

but this is the wooting we talking about here

so we wrap tape around the module

[inland ocean]

ohhhh u did 4 layers on the bottom of the PCB

[fluid ravine]

it makes a pretty big difference

[inland ocean]

and 2 layers wrapping up the side to the plate?

[fluid ravine]

uh holdup

i got a pic for u

there

[inland ocean]

Ah nice

so 4 layers on the bottom

2 on the side?

[fluid ravine]

ye

usually its 1 but i decided to do 2

[inland ocean]

I really like the sound tbh 😄

[fluid ravine]

thx

[inland ocean]

you should put a post & some pics in #1070668460905988106

[fluid ravine]

im gonna be suffering with the stock case though :_)

[inland ocean]

then u can link it if someone asks 😉

[fluid ravine]

:)

oki

[light drift]

is there a better way of removing switches from the board, apart from just pulling it out from the top? One of the clips one the side always becomes scuffed when i do that

[inland ocean]

U can take apart the pcb/plate and they'll come out easier

[fluid ravine]

taking the pcb out, having the plate a switches alone

[light drift]

oh, thanks. I'm guessing you just push the switches out from under?

[fluid ravine]

makes the job easier

oh nah

switch puller

[light drift]

aha

[inland ocean]

but also https://youtu.be/WN_-GYLTfpY?t=97

watch this

[fluid ravine]

i think that will like damage the clip of the switch

[light drift]

tyty

oh huh the PCB doesn't even lhave any resistance

[inland ocean]

its timestamped to the switch removal part

[honest dawn]

im between tx geon and cannonkeys films

damn idk

[light drift]

WS poron films worked for me

[inland ocean]

Personally i'd go for Geon just because I saw Over Heaven say they were good 😄

I think hes tried a few

[honest dawn]

im considering the tofu60 redux thats in production

[fluid ravine]

i might get it as well

[honest dawn]

spacebar is nice, rest needs tuning

im kinda lazy rn

[fluid ravine]

depending on its price

better be under 100

even though i have a big feeling its not

[honest dawn]

i doubt under 100 since it has a brass weight and other upgrades

im hoping for under 200

the square and the rounded - the rounded version is their new revision

[fluid ravine]

berry berry snowwy

woaow

[river reef]

But tofu redux looks good

[honest dawn]

i need some wob keycaps

[fluid ravine]

ong

[honest dawn]

hopefully drop puts them on sale or smth

[river reef]

Only if usb port is centered tho

But somehow i doubt that

[honest dawn]

they put wooting in the desciption of it

[river reef]

Sold my tofu cos the usb port dont align properly

All they had to do is make the usb hole bigger

[honest dawn]

looks the same

[fluid ravine]

is it just me or does my keys on the outside of the keeb (like esc 1234567890-=) sounds like plastic doodoo

[river reef]

How did u mount your keyboard

[fluid ravine]

burger mount

in stock case

[fluid ravine]

and foam

[ashen smelt]

They may make it bigger

[river reef]

What size o ring did u use

[fluid ravine]

uh

i gotta find it now

[river reef]

4x1x1.5?

[fluid ravine]

its the one in badseedtech or keybored

[river reef]

That whats usually recommended

[fluid ravine]

vids

[river reef]

I used 5x1.2x1.9

And it makes sound a lot more uniform across the keys

1.5 is too thin

[fluid ravine]

[river reef]

Yea 1.5mm

Theres still sound dif with those

[fluid ravine]

m

[ashen smelt]

Any sound tests with films?

[fluid ravine]

2 of my standoffs are damaged so-

[river reef]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_msqsk3m

I got these

[fluid ravine]

the 2 on the right

[river reef]

The 5mm x 1.2x1.9

It shouldnt matter

Since its on top of o ring

[fluid ravine]

nvm about this

it still bounce in some way

[river reef]

Thats what mine sound like

But film literally have nothing to do with it

Nano gel tape tempest mod is the best

Keebtape from keebmat does the same

Except they charge you 10usd per sheet

[fluid ravine]

sound good

[river reef]

It sounds better in person, i used my phone to record lol

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mM9mV5m

Much cheaper than keebtape

[inland ocean]

I got ScotchBlue painters tape

[fluid ravine]

my dad just bought me this frog tape

idk

[river reef]

Nah it sounds different

I used 3m painter's tape before

Just not the same

[inland ocean]

seeing as that tape is waterproof/plasticky

[fluid ravine]

https://www.frogtape.com/products/multi-surface-painters-tape-green-94-in-x-60-yd?gad=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4s-kBhDqARIsAN-ipH3mT5gAwLXqYdrUfAkBmG_-MUnOogWYRw47gKWF6mPtnnBe6McUNMwaAjIkEALw_wcB

[inland ocean]

I wonder how "good" it will be for the health of the PCB

[fluid ravine]

my dad gave me this

[fluid ravine]

please do not change out the tape too much

[honest dawn]

i used electrical tape lmfao

[fluid ravine]

do not want to end up like me :)

[inland ocean]

u have a problem on urs @fluid ravine ?

[river reef]

Theres pcb laquer on wooting 60he's pcb

Will be fine

[fluid ravine]

the seal on the pcb

ripping off

[inland ocean]

yeah but im not talking about the laquer

the pcb will generate some amount of heat

[river reef]

Yea

[inland ocean]

using a plastic, non breathable tape

[river reef]

Its fine

Eh

You know what painter's tape is suppose to do right

[inland ocean]

Yes... paint is very thick liquid

the tape itself is still slightly breathable

[fluid ravine]

is it bad if i use this

[river reef]

Yea what makes that any different lmao

[fluid ravine]

not like "bad" like as in should i use it

[inland ocean]

plastic = seal

papery tape = breath atleast some

[fluid ravine]

cause i feel like its thin

[inland ocean]

thats my concern 😄

[river reef]

Also electronic parts can tolerate up to 100°C

Some a lot more

Thats how you solder it on in the first place

[inland ocean]

I mean, that depends on the hardware in question

[fluid ravine]

now im worried if thats bad or not]

[river reef]

As long as its not shorted its fine

[inland ocean]

frog tape is painters tape/masking tape

[river reef]

Im an electronic engineer lol

[fluid ravine]

umm so

[inland ocean]

and u think all electrical components are fine up to 100c?

[fluid ravine]

what tape sounds best :L

lol

[river reef]

Bro everything on pcb should be

Otherwise how do you solder it on

Wave soldering machine temp is a lot higher

[honest dawn]

my laptop keyboard gets to burning temps. dont know if that applies

[river reef]

The thing about tempest mod was never about pcb overheat

[honest dawn]

but should be a similar idea lmfao

[inland ocean]

well... thats a big issue when soldering by hand and the reason a lot of things are soldered by machine or with guarding/kapton tape

[river reef]

Its it shorts out when you use shit tape

[honest dawn]

is electrical tape safe

[river reef]

Since the glue degrade over tine

[river reef]

Its fine

[inland ocean]

I believe u that it won't be an issue

[fluid ravine]

guys im starting to worried over nothing as in idfk what yall are talkinmg about

[inland ocean]

but im sure a lot of the components on the PCB would die before 100c 😛

@fluid ravine theres nothing to worry about 😄

chill

[fluid ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-pool-chill-flamingo-gif-22586025

ok

[river reef]

No man

Just check the tolerance for all pcb components

Nothing should break even at 100 constantly

Solder need to be 220degrees to melt

https://keebmat.com/products/keebtape

If u guys arent sure theres this too, but its literally just nano gel tape

[ashen smelt]

Pretty fucking expensive for some tape

[river reef]

I had to buy it to find out

Yea

[ashen smelt]

Nano gel huh

Maybe I’ll buy some

[river reef]

I could get a big roll of 3 for that price

[ashen smelt]

You got a brand recommendation?

[river reef]

I mean they're literally the same thing

So aliexpress or even local ones are fine

But you want single sided ones

[ashen smelt]

I’ll just grab one from Amazon

[river reef]

Doubleside is a bit annoying

[ashen smelt]

I can see how that’d be annoying lmao

[river reef]

Yea like you can just not peel the other side

But why bother

Just get it right the first time

[ashen smelt]

They’re all double sided lmfao

Does it rlly matter?

[river reef]

The one i linked is single sided

I mean if u dont peel the other side its fine

[ashen smelt]

Aliexpress shipping is ass

[river reef]

Its basically just a really thick padding to dampen high pitch sound

[inland ocean]

Alright... im done screwing with switch films 😄

[river reef]

Get it as wide as possible

I had 5cm ones

And its like 2.8 strips to cover everything

[river reef]

Switch film does nothing on lekker switch

If anything reduce the slightest switch wobble

[inland ocean]

Nah

[river reef]

But then the stem of the switch also wobble hard

[inland ocean]

on mine

the top/bottom cap has a lot of play

way less movement in the key with film

[river reef]

Idk

[inland ocean]

I've litterally spent the past few hours

making a switch film

and testing different thicknesses

[river reef]

But my stem still wobble so much

I feel like its a waste of time

Need box switch design

[ashen smelt]

Just make a new stem

🙂

[inland ocean]

the majority of the play for me was between the top/bottom housing tbh

i'd say theres like 50-70% less "stem" wobble

and by stem wobble

i mean wiggling the keycap with my finger

[river reef]

Do you have the 50g spring

[ashen smelt]

I got the 50g

[river reef]

If u do the wobble is a lot worse on stem

[ashen smelt]

The 60g springs are way too heavy

[river reef]

Just not enough pressure

[inland ocean]

Stock spring

60 right?

[river reef]

Yea

[inland ocean]

I dont remember im tired

[river reef]

Have to buy the 50s separately

[inland ocean]

100 switch films coming up

[river reef]

How long does that take to print

[inland ocean]

17min

[ashen smelt]

Sell me a batch

[river reef]

With tpu?

[inland ocean]

PLA

[ashen smelt]

Don’t know what that is. Is that the material?

[river reef]

Hmm

[inland ocean]

yeah

[river reef]

Do you mind share the file?

[ashen smelt]

Have you tested all of them? If they remove play by 50-70% I’d buy them from you

[inland ocean]

Yeah I said I will share the STL

but let me do my board first, hopefully tomorrow

incase I decide to make some changes

[river reef]

👍

I used tx films but it still warp a little

[inland ocean]

if people dont have 3d printers I might print a few batches but im not really interested in the $

[inland ocean]

Yeah the trouble is the legs either side

[vernal siren]

Ignore the 5 yr old cable just needed it to be long enough for the pic 😂

[inland ocean]

normal switch films seem to be slightly oversized and the top housing catches

[mental hemlock]

Fix

Help if

[inland ocean]

but the leg/right leg for the stem housing

[ashen smelt]

Dcx keycaps?

[inland ocean]

makes it pretty hard to make a decent film tbh - these do flex a little as u put the top cap on, because the left/right ridge get rotated down 90 degree by the clips

but then it all sits flush

[ashen smelt]

Holy shit

[vernal siren]

MUTED COLORWAY 169 CHERRY PROFILE from kprepublic

[river reef]

That rattle

Wtf lmao

[mental hemlock]

Not a Wooting

[river reef]

Holee mod + bandaid at the pcb should fix it

[mental hemlock]

Bet

[hallow creek]

anyone have a recommendation on a 60% keyboard case compatible with the wooting?

[ashen smelt]

Tofu60 redux is in production

Freebird60 is in pre order

[mental hemlock]

Fjell, Klippe T, Salvation, PSD60

[hallow creek]

awesome thanks guys! I waitlisted for the tofu 60 redux. we don't have an estimate on it right

[fluid ravine]

what keeb

[mental hemlock]

RK61

[mental hemlock]

No

[fluid ravine]

bandaid mod

holee

definitely bandaid mod

jesus christ listenenin to deez keys on the outside of the wooting on my board is hell

[ashen smelt]

Can’t put a timeframe on greatness

[hallow creek]

lol true maybe I should just use stock case until then

[glacial wind]

The freebird60 are already at kfa from what I understand of their posts, just they have to sort everything and post previous orders which will take a month or so to clear up

[hallow creek]

I want to go all out on modding it, what mods do you recommend? I'm going to wait for the tofu 60 but besides that what else would you recommend?

[hallow creek]

I guess next month!

[honest dawn]

i found geon films on kfa marketplace

you can avoid that 25 dollar shipping

[icy pier]

anyone bought gateron ks20 switches?

its about same price lekker (usd 40 - cny 280) but thought better option for outside states, normally taobao shipping fee is less then wooting store

[zealous kite]

how would you guys add two actual joysticks to the keyboard?

[sacred jay]

ive bought them

but not arrived yet

there was someone else that got em and said they pretty much the same

so if you want them then go ahead

[river reef]

I got it, just to switch the stem tho

Yes its exactly the same except bottom of the switch is not translucent

[icy pier]

oh thanks, about to buy it with white color.
taobao gateron store says white one is with 30gf starting force

[gloomy spire]

If I wanna tape mod my wooting, what kind of tape should I be getting?

[modern pulsar]

if my coiled cable is in total 4.5 feet long I should be able to use it without issues right? I'm looking at the glorious coiled cable specifically.

[bronze grove]

Total length or coiled up?
Any cable should work, though most will require reducing the RGB brightness some to compensate, if you want Tachyon enabled.

[bronze grove]

Just regular plain painting tape is fine.

[gloomy spire]

Is it like blue painters tape or sth?

[bronze grove]

Sure.

[gloomy spire]

It won’t like leave adhesive or anything right?

[modern pulsar]

yea total length, I was looking at straight cables because I heard that most coiled cables will have issues with Tachyon mode but this one said that total length including coils is 4.5 feet long.

[bronze grove]

Yeah but that doesn't uncoiled necessarily.

It can mean "so we measured the length of the cable laid out" not stretched

[bronze grove]

All tape will leave residue. But the 60HE is coated with a resin like surface above most of the PCB.

[gloomy spire]

Okok

[upbeat delta]

https://mechkeys.com/products/gateron-ks-20-magnetic-hall-sensor-switches?variant=44230271959263

There's an orange ks20 as well apparently, so 60he actually has a couple of switch options at this point (all just being different looks/springs)

[ashen smelt]

Check out the hibi June. Has some interesting sound. Fully silicone

[upbeat delta]

Second that, i love my June

[river reef]

If theres different color I would get June

[sacred jay]

more or less identical to wooting's old 50cn springs

[shrewd sun]

these look interesting.. how are they fitting wise? Any issues?

[upbeat delta]

Fitment is pretty much perfect

[shrewd sun]

yeah cool, do you perhaps have a sound clip?

[upbeat delta]

Here

But my board is fully modded, all foam replaced with something different, different plate etc

So it will sound different still

[shrewd sun]

very cool, once I get sick of the wide edges on my BBOX60 I might grab one

[icy pier]

cn=gf so orange will be like old lekker 50cn springs, white will be lighter then that

[sacred jay]

?

i dont think so

[icy pier]

i didnt checked out official gateron spec sheets and just seeing on taobao's product options, so maybe i'm (or store) wrong :>

[upbeat delta]

June is likely limited, not sure if there's gonna be a 2nd run

[ashen smelt]

Got any more pics of it

They are hard to come by online lmao

[upbeat delta]

However hibi already has it's next gh60 case in the works, namely hibi hero

[upbeat delta]

Hibi.mx on insta shares people's June builds regularly

[lethal sapphire]

what keycap set is that?

[upbeat delta]

Pbtfans rim

[lethal sapphire]

yakiniku 🤤

might suss it out haha ty

[ashen smelt]

Think the monster fuzz case might look fancy with my keycaps

[upbeat delta]

That'll look sick for sure

[austere creek]

incorrect. cN and gf arent equal

[fickle vector]

@gentle silo I just compared the Wuque films to the geon films, and I can tell the difference in person definitely lol

With just clicking the switches (not installed or with keycaps), it feels like the Wuque ones have a slightly more muted sound, but with a higher pitched click, while the geon ones are not as muted, but sound cleaner

Also felt like the Geon ones were slightly easier to apply

But you'll fiddle a bit with both

I guess you can use this to your advantage if you really wanna shoot for a specific sound profile

Either way both of them work when it comes to reducing housing rattle, the difference is pretty small. But there is a slight difference

[gentle silo]

These differences ofc get amplified by the way you build your keyboard or stuff like foam , plate material and so on

[fickle vector]

Amplified? Wouldn't it be reduced?

[dry wigeon]

I saw in the website somewhere that Wooting does not recommend to change the cable, but I saw people having done it and the keyboard works perfectly. Is there one cable in particular to avoid? Or can I use any cable? I may need between 2 and 3m to have it properly passed behind my desk.

[fickle vector]

They can't recommend it because of quality issues with some cables. Basically, the longer the cable, the harder it is to transfer enough power to have tachyon mode and full RGB brightness

What some people do instead is that they reduce the RGB to 70%, or 50%

[bronze grove]

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

We don't specifically recommend that you use ours, only warn that third party cables CAN have issues. And to compare with the stock cable to see if there's a cable based issue.

[dry wigeon]

it's only with coiled cables? If I use a straight one, no or less change to have an issue?

[bronze grove]

Total cable length and quality of the craftmanship are both factors.

Ultimately it's just a question of trial and error.

[fickle vector]

I take it back

The geon fken thocks wtf

[dry wigeon]

Thanks !

And so what would be the best brand to get a top quality cable for our Wooting 60HE? 😬

CableMod good enough?

[gentle silo]

Depends if you use foam or not

[raw ledge]

so little and heavy 🙏🏼

[dusk mauve]

Question: Other than this being gasket mount, does anyone see any issue why this wouldn't accept the Wooting? https://keyspensory.store/products/instock-cmm-studio-isabell-60

[normal schooner]

lmaooo i have the same cable

40 eur alternate cable

[bronze grove]

The USB port probably won't line up, even if you fabricate a custom switch plate.

Also these need to go.

So... lots of Dremel.

[dusk mauve]

It takes GH60 PCBs, and the blockers are removable

[gentle silo]

It’s layed out for gh60 so standard 60 size, shouldn’t be a problem

[bronze grove]

Ah if they can be removed that's no problem. USB could still be an issue simply due to the fact that you need to make a plate.

Can't just grab one and use it for the 60HE.

[dusk mauve]

Thinking of not using the gaskets, just hard foam to make it the right height, then using an O-ring to hold in place?

[gentle silo]

„Reverse engenering“ the gasket parts onto the wooting plate file shouldn’t be to hard if you have the original plate in hand

Im gonna do the same thing in my sangeo60 got a plate beeing fabed rn

[cold echo]

how needed is lubing the switches? adding lube and tools to my order is delaying 3 weeks longer due to them being ready at seperate times. Im about to ask for seperate shipping becauwse I dont want to wait for the whole order to be ready lmao

[bronze grove]

It's one of those things you won't know if you needed till you've tried it.

And it comes with a good 3-5 hour workload involved, in addition to cost of tools and lube.

I don't regret it for a second personally. But I also use my board as a daily driver for work as well as gaming.

[cold echo]

Im gonna conatact support and just see if I can have them ship seperate

[bronze grove]

We would need to create a custom spare parts order. We do stock stock these at the warehouses. 🙂

[tepid tangle]

I am already pretty satisfied with the sound of the 60he, so I'm wondering if the tape mod would be worth it regardless, just because I have heard so much about it by now

I'm very new to mechanical keebs and modding in general, the wooting is my first hotswappable keyboard

[cold echo]

tbf tape mod would take like 15 minutes and is easil;y undoable

[tepid tangle]

Does it have to be Masking Tape? I currently only have Gaffa at home T_T

Because if so then I'd need to wait anyway

[cold echo]

different tapes will probs have different effects

is gaffa the canvas-y tape?

[tepid tangle]

I see, I have seen most people use what I think was isolation tape, stuff you'd use to fix cables

Nah, Gaffa is the 'fixates everything' tape that is used in conjunction with wd40 a lot haha

[cold echo]

ahhh, im thinking gaff tape

[tepid tangle]

German nomers for these kinds of tapes dont really translate well into english

[cold echo]

gaffer's tape

[tepid tangle]

The grey fixation tape is called 'tank tape' when translated literally

[cold echo]

i think a supposed benefit of masking tape or painter tape is that its got less adhesive so it wouldnt ever gunk up your board and be easy to remove

but im no expert

i put electrical tape and some foam in my akko keeb

[tepid tangle]

Thats what I was thinking too

[cold echo]

did well enough for me

[tepid tangle]

Aaah, electrical trape

That's the term I was looking for. I don't have any of that nearby unfortunately but that would be my number 1 choice for dampening I guess

[cold echo]

i think its supposed to absorb vibrations at the end of the day

[tepid tangle]

Then I guess some of the sound is already better becaue I'm on a deskpad anyway

[austere creek]

i mean tank tape is more german than duct tape or gaffers tape

[tepid tangle]

DUCT TAPE, see I got a bit of a problem with these translation

Where is my English when I need it most, hah

[austere creek]

although the official name is smth along webbed tape

PE-beschichtetes Gewebeband

[tepid tangle]

Never heard it be called that before actually

[upbeat delta]

I wouldn't use Panzertape, that stuff sticks like crazy and i don't know how well it will hold up over time with LEDs turned on

[austere creek]

well i only know cause u cant exactly order panzerband from a retailer for office supplies lol

[tepid tangle]

Thats fair. I will wait until next week when I can get a big roll up electrical tape

[upbeat delta]

Some cheaper glues turn into goo if given the time and heat (from the LEDs )

[upbeat delta]

Scotch 33+ is my favorite, sticks perfect, is super soft and stretchy and easily removable, even after months

[tepid tangle]

I will look around for it at my local Bauhaus then

Tesa is bound to have an alternative too if I don't find the 3M original

[upbeat delta]

I was gonna say that

I doubt Bauhaus (or any of the German hardware stores) have scotch

But maybe Tesa is good too, i was just told to stay clear of the super cheap Chinese stuff

[tepid tangle]

I also mostly remember UHU and Tesa at my hardware store

Can't hurt to try, electrical tape is pretty thankful to remove if things go awry

[obsidian dagger]

kapton tape would be interesting

[upbeat delta]

Kapton + loose gasket mount would sound like candy wrappings

[obsidian dagger]

nice

snacc instead of thocc

[tepid tangle]

I dont know if I should be amused or terrified at that aspect

[upbeat delta]

Preferably both ?

[tepid tangle]

Sounds reasonable.

[tiny lion]

I need this cable but black 🤩

Wich one are this cable

[raw ledge]

made by glorious

[tiny lion]

Can you put the link please how long are the cable?

[inland ocean]

I really dont get the whole coiled cable appeal 😄

there's no benefit right? Wasn't sure if the aviator connector most have is actually useful or something

[fervent osprey]

Same, I hate the idea of having spare cable just hanging there on display for no reason

[gentle silo]

nop just looks better then a regular plain cable

[remote dove]

Anyone know if a pcb swap is possible for the 60he to the ducky one 3 mini?

[glacial wind]

It’s kind of why straight cables became the trend lately, they look a bit fancy with the quick disconnect without having the coils taking up room

[mental hemlock]

Full black everything

[gentle silo]

why would you want to swap the pcb?

[mental hemlock]

Prolly meant case

[gentle silo]

might be, should fit in that case

[wispy rapids]

would you be lubing the L45 switches if you had them also ?

[bronze grove]

I don't have them, so I can't say that.

[wispy rapids]

hm...

[nimble solar]

@wraith ice

[wraith ice]

Looks good! You happy with the keycaps?

[placid blaze]

advice for anyone worried about overly sticky tape

put a layer or two of painter's tape on first

then it's suuuuper easy to take off

[upbeat delta]

Scotch 33+

[nimble solar]

yeah they feel good

mad that one keycap didn't get it

the white keycap I have on it, didn't come with it

[placid blaze]

my go-to is 2 layers of painter's tape followed by 3 layers of electrical tape and I never have issues removing it only because of the painter's tape applications

(the numbers are arbitrary)

[upbeat delta]

Damn I have 2 layers of electrical tape and never worried about doing more

Did it make a meaningful difference in sound beyond 2 layers ?

[placid blaze]

I honestly couldn't tell you, I just arbitrarily chose 2 and 3 layers

I can only imagine that more layers would realistically help but there'll be diminishing returns starting from 1 layer of any given material

[wraith ice]

I’m glad you like them! It didn’t come with a smaller shift?

It should have come with a 1.75u shift I think.

[wraith ice]

Check the second layer of keycaps again. There should be one in there.

[nimble solar]

still didn't fit

which sucks

I'm not tripping, I don't even use that shift

[wraith ice]

Ok. Interesting. Maybe worth it to reach out to omnitype about it. (If you want to). It’s definitely supposed to fit.

[tacit vault]

i would like to paint my two HE like you mentioned, is there a specific way to do so, or a guide? or how would you go about it?

[bronze grove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOH5uVwAoi0

Plenty of guides online.

[tacit vault]

ah, i actually saw this video, i just wanted to be sure there wasnt something specific to do for wooting keyboards. thanks

[placid blaze]

with the Wooting you might want to take the PCB out first

[novel plank]

Went to an Amazon Liquidation store that was near by today, found these good looking keycaps sitting there for 1$. Just had to pick them up to see what they looked like

Not to bad if you ask me

[elder grail]

i think i got the same ones but in black

[novel plank]

They were Ranked branded V1 Pudding Keycaps

[elder grail]

nice i just got the OEM branded ones of aliexpress

[novel plank]

Its hard to see with the lighting on but they were a nice shade of light blue

I think it goes well with the keyboard, except the yellow strap which I will probably buy the new Take Control keycap set in the future

[elder grail]

nice how do they sound? the ones from aliexpress def sound cheaper then the stock wooting ones. not bad just liek a higher pitch

[novel plank]

They sound kinda cheap, reminds me of when I had my HyperX Alloy Origins Core with their pudding keycaps

would like a little more THONK

Then again I havent gotten around to lubing my keyboard yet so you can really hear the stabilizers

[bold frigate]

So I just lubed my switches for the first time and im not sure if I overlubed them or not, they sound a lot deeper then a lot of other boards ive heard. Do you guys know if its overlubed?

[elder grail]

super new to this but they sound pretty good to me

[fervent osprey]

I’m not sure about the switches but oh boy does the spacebar need some lubing haha

[bold frigate]

Yea I didnt do the stabilizers

[novel plank]

v ssssddddjjjjjj

OOOF

I didnt mean to do that lol

Mine don't sound very good

[bold frigate]

Mine sounded about the same before lubing it

[elder grail]

so what im hearing is i need to bust the lube out lol

[novel plank]

yes

once I lube this one it will be my first of lube job

not looking forward to the pain of lubing 60 switches

[elder grail]

same here, totally procrasting though. had my case and keycaps for like two weeks before i did them

[novel plank]

lol, I too am a cronic procrastinator

[elder grail]

ill eventually take a video of mine of the way those keycaps sound in the zt60 case from aliexpress

[novel plank]

I should also maybe look into getting a new case for mine, I miss the aluminium case from my old keeb

[elder grail]

its so nice. first aluminium case for. i upgraded from a blackwidow v3 pro so this is like night and day

for me*

[novel plank]

I like the heft an alu case gives to a keyboard

doesnt make me feel like im slinging around a toy when I move the thing

[elder grail]

fr, feels like it glued to my desk. its about 4lbs, the one i have.

[novel plank]

dang

thats one heavy keyboard

[elder grail]

it said how heavy it was on the product page so i dont know why it was so suprising to me lol

[novel plank]

my gosh, its gonna be a minute before I get a new case

The funds are not available

I wonder if Kit Adam would be a compatible case??

Its a case made of LEGOs

[elder grail]

thats pretty sweet. i bet it can sound real thocky too.

[fluid ravine]

you gotta work it in

it suppose to sound like that when just lubed

mines still a little bit chattery but its sound more solid than stock

man i gotta get some lube, films, and case for my keeb im suffering

[dreamy gulch]

Anyone using freebird case? Is additional foam needed ?

[hallow creek]

Anyone know if this case is compatible and if so is this a good keyboard case? https://www.yunzii.com/products/yunzii-x-star-zt60-custom-cnc-aluminum-mechanical-keyboard-kit?variant=44377753026802

[fluid ravine]

its compatible

Hi all, newbie here and I love my 60HE, can someone point me to TLDR or some article about the new switches about to be released by wooting ? Compared to to the keys in in my 60HE ?

[obsidian dagger]

lighter springs

thats it

[thorny vortex]

Help..
I am lubing my stabilizers. (followed the wooting turtorial)..
Now my key is looked just in a pressed position... cant be pushed..

I tried once I had not done anything with, and tried to put it back on the board, and same problem..

what did i do wrong?

(i have put the sting underneath and click it in place..)

[lost merlin]

bit of a test on the aftermarket SMKB alu plate i got for the wooting

[lost merlin]

you might have accidentally put one of the wire ends into the wrong hole of the stabs

other than that you might have overlubed

[lost merlin]

the new switches have lighter springs

[river reef]

Most likely he put the stab stem wrong

[lost merlin]

thats what i meant

[thorny vortex]

I thought the same... But I only lubed one, two others never left the housing. I just pulled them out of the board and back in again, and the same happens with them 🥺

[lost merlin]

are you putting them in the correct way?

[river reef]

Take a picture and we can see what you did wrong

Sometimes its the wire didnt get clip back properly

[lean dove]

Anyone know if this case is compatible https://kprepublic.com/a/amp/products/loop-resin-60-case-handmade-case-with-rubber-feet-for-mechanical-keyboards-gh60-xd60-xd64-60-poker-bm60

[river reef]

Yes it will fit

[shell geode]

It's compatible! 👍

[river reef]

I can see its tilted to the side

[shell geode]

Did you pull out the wire from the stabilizer housing during the lubing process?

[river reef]

But also take picture of it remove the keycap too

[thorny vortex]

Ehm that was werid with one hand sorry

[river reef]

Ok i see one issue immediately

When it doesnt come back up

Have you tried putting the switch in

Cos thats the thing that bounce it back up

[thorny vortex]

😂

omg lol, this is way u dont stay up all night and do this

[river reef]

Might be obvious but i have to make sure

[thorny vortex]

I am a modding vergin, but THAT is kinda funny 😂

[thorny vortex]

Thank you so much for your help! ^^ (big blond moment)

[river reef]

[lean dove]

thakyou

[drifting topaz]

any update on when the wooting plate is coming out

[bronze grove]

Wooting...plate?

We've got an aluminum case and the 60 module variant. No "just a switch plate" product.

[drifting topaz]

sorry its late i meant the aluminum case

[bronze grove]

By August if all goes well.

[coral gorge]

Has someone bought this?? What is the difference between that plate n the one that comes with the kb??

Ight thanks

It’s my first mechanical kb n there are so many mods lool

[inland ocean]

Think i'm finally happy with the switch film i've been making for the lekker switch in my free time

Initial draft:

Then the latest version I just made the "wings" a bit wider
And made the "chin" at the bottom the whole way across, so it could be symmetrical & add rigidity

Not a great pic since its white on white 😄

[scarlet delta]

looks awesome, how does this effect stem wobble and sound? i've never seen a plastic switch film being used before

[inland ocean]

it's made from PLA - theres also the potential to make from TPU, the sound profiles would be difference with each.
I'll be doing my whole board later today - tested a few switches and will go with 0.17mm thickness

the wobble between the bottom/top housing is completely gone, and as a result the stem wobble is reduced but there will always be some play there

Theres a company that makes switch films out of the same material

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rrc9PZgFp4

[scarlet delta]

oh damn, will u be releasing the file or selling them in the future? the stem wobble is the main thing that bugs me about my wooting lol

[inland ocean]

I'll release the file once i've made sure im happy with it on my board - hopefully later today

if someone wants some made I might make some

Wonder if this will fit the new gateron switches, havn't looked at their design

[fervent osprey]

Where are you from? I’m still about a month away from receiving the kb, so I might be interested in that if you were offering it.

[inland ocean]

England

[fervent osprey]

That sucks, it’d have to go through customs

[inland ocean]

What country are u in?

[patent arrow]

what case do u guys recommend for 60he ? klippe-t or tofu60

[fervent osprey]

Slovakia

[inland ocean]

U won't get a tofu until the redux release

Customs charges are based on value of parcel/commercial products - could just send as a letter

[patent arrow]

in my country tofu60 is in stock for 60he

black and white

[inland ocean]

Oh nice

[patent arrow]

just wondering which one is better

[inland ocean]

they're pretty similar cases "better" is just gona be down to your preference

Want a heavy keyboard? the tofu has a battery cut-out u could put some weights in

[fervent osprey]

Yeah letter would probably work. Otherwise even gifts aren’t exempt of VAT anymore when receiving anything outside European Union.

[inland ocean]

Wow, I didn't know that 😄

[gentle silo]

Finally also got ther FL CMMK V3 stabs. For anyone here is what the modifyers sound like now

[inland ocean]

wow 💦

mine just turned up 🙂

What do u guys use to record audio on PC btw?

for KB sound tests etc

[inland ocean]

What did u do to them? not stock/dry right?

[fervent osprey]

I just read more into it and there might still be “some” exceptions, but every site says something different haha. But this could be easily sent as a letter and that basically solves everything.

On PC I use audacity.

[inland ocean]

Yeah thought that'd be what most people was using, ty

[mental hemlock]

WHICH KNE

[patent arrow]

wdym

[river reef]

Looks good

[mental hemlock]

Show me the tofu they have ins rock

[patent arrow]

https://rationalkeys.com.tr/urun/kbdfans-tofu60-pirinc-plateli-mekanik-klavye-kiti/?v=ebe021079e5a

[inland ocean]

Now I see why they are in stock 😄

[mental hemlock]

What currency is that

[patent arrow]

[inland ocean]

oh I think its more than just a case

[patent arrow]

[fervent osprey]

It’s a Turkish site

[inland ocean]

[patent arrow]
