[sand oasis]

just fyi i paid 104 dollars in total for the tofu redux

[buoyant torrent]

whats that

[sand oasis]

yeh i might get some as well

[dusky orchid]

This plate is ready to ship?

[sand oasis]

group for films from wuque studio even tho it says instock

😦

make it make sense

[buoyant torrent]

what is switch films

[mental hemlock]

It’s not even worth it to buy the Redux without the brass plate

They should have just included it and raised the price to $80

[sand oasis]

its an extremely thin piece of plasticy thing that aids the clackyness of the switches

[mental hemlock]

Less is more

I’d rather burger mount or o ring mount

[sand oasis]

yeh im gonna burger mount when i get the tofu

[buoyant torrent]

where do i get the o rings

and what screws do i use

[mental hemlock]

Amazon, stock screws. 4mm 1mm 1.5mm

[gentle silo]

no it says on the page they get made to order

[mental hemlock]

Fastest shipping ones

[buoyant torrent]

can u link them if you dont mind

[mental hemlock]

Yes sir

[buoyant torrent]

I have prime

[gentle silo]

some films that you put inside of your switch to reduce wobble and make the sound better i guess

[mental hemlock]

https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Silicone-Rings-Diameter-Gasket/dp/B082STN4LT?pd_rd_w=MoSwy&content-id=amzn1.sym.0ef772df-4d2e-4e69-babd-790844639d27&pf_rd_p=0ef772df-4d2e-4e69-babd-790844639d27&pf_rd_r=EZTQRTQE3V64VG3QKCPD&pd_rd_wg=UE7ED&pd_rd_r=884d5e5e-ab05-4bdf-97c8-a19dc30f98b6&pd_rd_i=B082STN4LT&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_m_grid_dv_rp_0_1_ec_t

[gentle silo]

huh thats wierd... maybe see if another seller carrys them. i think i got mine off aliexpress

[buoyant torrent]

@mental hemlock can u link some screws too

[mental hemlock]

Stock screws

[sand oasis]

you can use stock screwws

[buoyant torrent]

i just search stock screws?

[sand oasis]

no

you use the screws that come with wooting

[mental hemlock]

The stock screws that come with the Wooting or whatever case you get

[buoyant torrent]

im pretty sure i lost them

they are not in the box

[sand oasis]

i will have a look around ty

[sand oasis]

you can use whatever screws your currently have or that will come with the case you order?

or is your keyboard completeltly taken apoart

[buoyant torrent]

no im using it now lol

im using the stock keyboard rn

[sand oasis]

yeh so you can use the screws that you have in now

or when you upgraede the keyboard you can use the screws that come with the case

[buoyant torrent]

ok

[sand oasis]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlPX6gYSxyU&t=19s

[buoyant torrent]

im just not looking forward to lubing the switches

[sand oasis]

ehh if you put on a show or some music its actually quite relaxing

first few switches for me were difficult just geting the hang of opening them and putting them back together but after that it becomes quite relaxing albeit its very tedious

[buoyant torrent]

did u buy the wooting kit

[sand oasis]

yeh i did

[buoyant torrent]

ill get that i guess

[sand oasis]

but you could probably find a cheper set else where but i just brought it when i brought my keyboard

just accept it will take time and dont rush and you wont brake anything

[buoyant torrent]

if i break any switches i can just order more right?

and the keyboard comes with 2

[sand oasis]

yeh

it was my first time and i didnt brake anyway

actually no i broke one but idk how

think i used a lil too much force taking it out

[buoyant torrent]

I ordered the cement gray keycaps

[sand oasis]

yeh keycaps are personal preference i got a pastel set cause ie like pastel colours

[buoyant torrent]

I cant believe theres like $250 dollar sets

of them

[sand oasis]

yeh i was pissed

i was hesitant on a gmk set for 150 dollar s

but it sold out before i could get to buy

[buoyant torrent]

im fine with my 32 dollar ones lol

[sand oasis]

as long as its double shot pbt your good

[buoyant torrent]

Cherry Profile CEMENT GREY Japanese PBT DYE-SUB KEYCAPS SET

i got these

[sand oasis]

yeh

good

[buoyant torrent]

same ones optimum used

on the build

[sand oasis]

https://cannonkeys.com/products/nicepbt-noel

this is the set i have

[mental hemlock]

Chill

[stray tiger]

If you guys check the https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399 it answers your questions about custom plates, films, screw length and more!

Also feel free to DM me directly or @ me and I can answer most questions

[untold wigeon]

chill

[elder grail]

those cannon keycaps are thick bois

might replace my puddings down the line with the NicePBT Cat set though

[coral prawn]

are there any good brass plates for 60he? wanna use it with tofu redux tho

[stray tiger]

You would have to have one custom cut

[coral prawn]

unlucky, ty anyway, gonna do it soon

[mental hemlock]

Chill

[loud zephyr]

In regard to O-Rings I would definitely go with a slightly larger size, as those ones will sink through the screw holes of the PCB if overtightened. The dimensions below gives you a much better feel during the installation:

4.5mm OD / 1.5mm ID / 1.5mm Width

[mental hemlock]

Three different o ring recommendations lol

[loud zephyr]

It would only add to the metallic resonance but you could offset it with dense foam beneath the PCB. Adding heft to any keyboard always feel nice though, imo

[loud zephyr]

Lol. I'm willing to try the third. The 60He is definitely a challenging keyboard to make it sound and feel good. It's good platform to learn modding without breaking the bank though

[winged bone]

is there a website where i can knock all the stops off for wooting (except lubbing) like case, keycaps, & cables etc.

also is there a usb c to usb c coiled cable available anywhere?

[loud zephyr]

Kbdfans has a lot but really depends where you are, shipping is generally a deal breaker if it's too costly

And the Redux won't be ready till September so probably excludes Kbd if you need something now

[winged bone]

nah im just looking for future mod stuff

[mental hemlock]

I’m doing a non Wooting build so I’ll see what works

[mental hemlock]

What for?

@south knoll I’ve always been in the Wooting discord lol

[south knoll]

oh yeah I'm sure

but wait why does it say you aren't in the SFF one

I more mean like, I just joined here and found you also here

[mental hemlock]

Because they banned me

[south knoll]

oh wut

you have an alt stalking it or smth now? lmao

[winged bone]

for the wooting

[south knoll]

I'm sure this is off top, sorry lol

[mental hemlock]

I always have eyes lurking

You’ll see the reason for the ban lol

[south knoll]

I do have a cursed modding question though, anyone sawed off the numpad on a Wooting 2 HE to make it TKL successfully? :D

[mental hemlock]

Even though I was stopped

[south knoll]

srsly? for recording while stopped in the drivers seat you got banned

[mental hemlock]

It’s a “transgression”

[winged bone]

how tf do you have a invisible pfp

[south knoll]

cuz man is a criminal

[mental hemlock]

I’m not mad about it, they need to feel better about themselves

The power

I think of it as a good thing lol, inspiring me to learn a lot

[south knoll]

unfair ban or not, this is the most poetic way of saying banned I've ever seen

[mental hemlock]

Yeah I’m having to switch between accounts and shit so I can read up

[mental hemlock]

The only question I have is how am I going to have any questions answered? I’ll have to wait or something

[south knoll]

hm yeah idk

copy your homework on an alt

[mental hemlock]

It’s kind of my fault, I always have to open my mouth and say some stupid shit

Which leads to me getting warnings and an eventual ban

I really liked the discord too

The ban was because I was recording a video and driving

1st video, warning. Second video, ban

Trying to make a joke about not having AC in a “race car”

Miami

@south knoll

You get used to it with the windows down

And it gives you an excuse to keep moving lol

Stop and go traffic? Be prepared to die

Being polite doesn’t work at all

So that’s why I’m a menace instead

What car do you have?

[south knoll]

ok the first one was a little dangerous

the second one really wasn't

[mental hemlock]

My brother in Christ

Did you not notice it was an NB?

[mental hemlock]

Show me a pic of the NA

[chrome garden]

ew

ew

ew

L miata

[mental hemlock]

Haha it’s ok

[chrome garden]

91 - 98 miatas are the best :D

[mental hemlock]

For me they take a lot of work to look good

@oem_minus on instagram has the best looking NA I’ve ever seen

PRHT

[cunning karma]

car-modding!

[onyx pier]

is one small container of lube enough to lube all 60 switches?

[cunning karma]

So long as you don't use it for 'other' personal purposes, yes.

[onyx pier]

what if i want to use it for personal purposes

jk haha

[untold wigeon]

gateron orange switches. yay or nay?

[cunning karma]

imo they risk blowing up the keyboard so I opted not to but some people think it is a worth while risk given the significant performance uplift they provide

[untold wigeon]

hmm

i did not know they fuck up the keyboard like that

[untold wigeon]

thank you for that info. i think imma return mine then

[cunning karma]

lol no

i have no idea about them

i think no one does though is the thing

awaiting some feedback from others who get them

[untold wigeon]

ooooo

im too broke to be a guinea pig atm. i only bought them, because they looked cool

[sand oasis]

I wonder what they sound like

[gentle silo]

Similar to lekker same top, but slightly different bottom and stem molding which makes them sound worse. Same material comp and the older not available anymore l50 springs basically.

That’s atleast what BigBrainAfk told me

[sacred jay]

skin irritant

30 second time bomb

[cunning karma]

Right...I guess you are the first person to review and report back

[sacred jay]

in the wooting lube guide he says its a skin irritant

i was not the one to find out

[cunning karma]

You checked first atleast

[sacred jay]

Possible

[onyx pier]

HAHAHA

[austere creek]

feel and sound was what i read in internal discussions about the change

[vale moon]

u guys talking about this switch?? https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-ks-20-magnetic-white-switch-set?VariantsId=10690

as far as i was concerned ks20 is just the lekker with different color and spring

[gentle silo]

i was under that assumption aswell. Turns out bottom housing and stem molds are slightly different. Supposedly this changes sound and feel of the bottom out at bit (worse from what BigBrainAFK told me)

[austere creek]

well yesnt

different stem and bottom housing geometry as well

[viral swift]

Any1 know where I can get a Polycarb/POM plate that fits with the Wooting 60HE? 🙂

[bronze grove]

https://smkeyboards.com/products/wooting-60he-custom-plate

As close as you can get. There aren't any fully "off the shelf" alternatives.

[viral swift]

Need ISO Layout doe 😦

[bronze grove]

Can always ask if they have ISO.

[vast yoke]

trying to find if the keyboard is prelubed or not?

[bronze grove]

The switches and stabs are factory lubed. Not to be confused with hand lubing each and every part.

[vast yoke]

so i dont need to go and lube each switch. what other parts would actually need lubing?

[bronze grove]

You never NEED to lube anything. You do it because you WANT to.

And lubing the switches by hand might be worth it for you. Or it might not.

[vast yoke]

what is the difference from factory lubed and hand lubed? cause factory lubed makes it sound like i dont need to lube

[bronze grove]

Much less of it applied.

In fewer areas.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN_-GYLTfpY

[vast yoke]

appreciate the help

[urban charm]

Probably gonna sound generic but I have my Wooting build laid out

Super excited tbh

Burgundy Tofu60 Redux case

[thick mural]

i bought 2 tofu60s lol

[gentle silo]

cant go wrong with the red samurai caps. Also a great price on amazon damn... if i was in the US id oder some right this moment lol

[thick mural]

ewhite and black

[untold wigeon]

@thick mural what keyvaps are you going with? My Tofu arrives today

Feel like I’ve been waiting forever for it

[thick mural]

i have an xda set from novelkeys

its like a darker shade of white

[urban charm]

Thanks, I assume the TKL kit will fit the 60% since the full kit is out of stock and don't need to pay $50 more for caps I wont use

[untold wigeon]

Off white?

[thick mural]

not exactly

pretty close to offwhite though

its the only uk iso xda on the internet

[gentle silo]

if i hadnt bough 2 expensive cases yet i would order a tofu redux right this moment... still thinking about getting a cstock unit and taking the ano off/beadblasting it

[thick mural]

couldnt find any for life of me

[mental hemlock]

Ah I see

[mental hemlock]

I’d do it

[gentle silo]

yeye, the 60% is standard. it will fit

[gentle silo]

they took the listing down again... was posted yesterday

[mental hemlock]

It’s like they want to get hated

First of all, that $25 shipping is bullshit

You have to spend $450 to get free shipping

[gentle silo]

no it makes sense... they havent fully finished production how can we Preoder a c strock item lol

[gentle silo]

thats why i only buy from the aliexpress store

[mental hemlock]

They’re shady as fuck

I wouldn’t bat an eye if they went bankrupt

But too many of these guys will keep them in business

After they specifically mentioned Wooting

[gentle silo]

nah they sell good keycaps and carry so much random stuff you might need

[mental hemlock]

@static tendon

[mental hemlock]

Like what

What’s the point if shipping costs more than what you’re getting lol

Might as well get everything from Amazon

Hassle free returns

[gentle silo]

the standoff kit everyone uses to fit custom plates to the wooting

[gentle silo]

aliexpress store 4$ shipping and you can buy a bnuch of modding stuff and whatnot

[mental hemlock]

Exactly

They’re both Chinese anyways

Might as well get the one that’s cheaper

[gentle silo]

yea, im talking about the KBDfans aliexpress store

[mental hemlock]

oh shit

[silent trail]

Just got the freebird60 case, has anyone else had issues fitting the USB-C port into the keyboard with the case? Can't quite get mine to connect properly

[acoustic void]

Does anybody know of a budget white compatible case for 60he?

[obsidian dagger]

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

something on there?

[gentle silo]

what would be budget for you? -> tofu redux maybe

[mental hemlock]

Tofu is so beautiful in person

[urban charm]

It does look really nice, excited about mine

Curious to see the weight compared to my GMMK Pro

[acoustic void]

thats pretty nice, thanks

[split night]

fort hose who burger modded their wooting what orings did you guys use

[obsidian dagger]

does someone have this kind of foam on the spacebar? how does it change the sound

[sand oasis]

If you look at wooting video on it they have the ones they use in the description

But there might be better ones idk

[split night]

Ok Ty

[sand oasis]

If not any silicone 0 ring with the same dimensions should do the job

[remote oxide]

This is what I did. I'm pretty happy with the result, although my office situation isn't conducive to [sound] measurements. So this is all subjective. I had fun doing the mod, and it is cheap, <$10 for the rings and <$20 for screwdrivers if you don't have those already.

[south knoll]

What's the sentiment here on when to mod? Should I get the 60HE stock first and play with it before going and doing a bunch of mods to it?

[versed pivot]

I did play with it in the stock case a while and than modded it a bit. More for optical reasons since the sound is pretty ok for a casual user. But still, sound improved noticable.

[mental hemlock]

Not a Wooting

[inland hare]

Yow, how long do that shop ship?

[stray tiger]

The https://discordapp.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399 has some dimensions also

[stray tiger]

100% get it first. Plan to lube but after that take it slowly

[stray tiger]

Its not a big change at all, very slight. I typically just use some putty like blue tack instead and its way cheaper and works better

[obsidian dagger]

the idea of putting putty in my keycap is just awkward

even if it works better...

[stray tiger]

Thats the beauty of keyboard modding! You get to waste your money in the way that feels best to you

[untold wigeon]

Get better stabs

[static tendon]

Oooo is this just the white version of the wooting?

[untold wigeon]

Metal case

[stray tiger]

white aluminum case

[gentle silo]

like shipping time? Shipping to germany is 12 days or less (usually took around 1 week)

[static tendon]

Perfect, love to see it 😎

Would anyone happen to know if the wooting barebones kit expected to release sometime in august? The version with the new plate^

[static tendon]

No wayyy, there’s another tofu60 remake??

Darn now I have to decide between the wooting case and the tofu remake 🤔

[coral prawn]

yo, is there any interference with geekark bow keycaps(they're cherry profile) on 60he?

going to be used with PSD60 case tho

[coral prawn]

PSD60, Tofu Redux(redux is available only in September)

[gentle silo]

no the new gateron molds used in the lekker switches won interfear

[coral prawn]

yh i also think so

anyway thanks for the answer broski

[fickle vector]

https://www.brazenstudio.co/collections/mason60-kintsugi

If anyone's looking for really cool cases

The blue one was just sold actually, but Ian from Brazen Studio told me that they will probably make a GB if there's interest

[south knoll]

Goddamn

The price tho

[lucid flower]

https://kbdfans.com/products/tofu60-redux-kit seems like there’s plates in this kit

[stray tiger]

That plate wont work with a 60HE. Its for the PCB that comes with the Tofu

[inland hare]

So they are not like wooting and redux that takes months?

[lucid flower]

Oh good to know thanks

[desert dock]

What's the size for the spacebar on the wooting 60he?

woops just found it nvm nvm

[viscid sorrel]

they changed the inside now the redux will fit the 60HE

[stray tiger]

Talking about the plate not the case

[leaden socket]

guys, this case is compatible right?

https://kbdfans.com/collections/tofu60-redux/products/tofu60-redux-case?variant=41472688128139

[coral gorge]

Yes

[loud zephyr]

Why did they have to make so many nice colours, I'm struggling to decide

[mental hemlock]

Go full black.

[inland ocean]

been debating that myself - what brand are those keycaps?

[trail forge]

this is my goal

waiting to get my aluminum case, but we're going in the right direction

[mental hemlock]

Cherry blank blacks from Amazon

You might have better luck than me because these have been doing this

[mental hemlock]

I’m on Cloud 9 with this thing bro

It’s so heavy and awesome

[loud zephyr]

I've been thinking about that stealthy colourway after seeing Optimum Tech, but currently I have a dark purple case so maybe go for something lighter.

[trail forge]

oh jesus, is that pulling your switches apart?

[mental hemlock]

Some of them

[inland ocean]

noo... black on purple - great colourway

[mental hemlock]

I’d love to see it

[inland ocean]

@mental hemlock what case is it? tofu v1/psd60?

[mental hemlock]

Tofu V1

From @wraith ice

[loud zephyr]

I'll take a few photos soonish 🙂

[mental hemlock]

Can’t trust these sound tests, keyboard is much quieter than you think

[inland ocean]

Nice, I got the PSD60 and put some wheel weights in there... wanted it to be nice and heavy https://canary.discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1126640687195099168

[mental hemlock]

I think I’ll do a custom cut brass weight, would that change the acoustics at all you think?

[inland ocean]

I dont think so tbh, but I could be wrong...

if any of u are thinking of filming ur switches & have a 3D printer I made a switch film for the lekker switches if you wanted to try it -
https://www.printables.com/model/521569-wooting-60he-lekker-switch-films-mechanical-keyboa

for me it made a big difference on keycap wobble & i'd say removed some of the higher pitched noise

[loud zephyr]

Long story short, this case was my first ever custom bought in 2015 from a small Geekhack GB. And absolutely hated the 60% layout so it sat for years in the cupboard. And then along came the Wooting and I brought back to life. Excuse the dust lol

[mental hemlock]

Dude that thing looks amazing

[loud zephyr]

Thanks 🙂

I might try out some blank keycaps at some stage

[fluid ravine]

holy hell that looks nice

just the keycaps

meh

but pretty noice

[loud zephyr]

Cheers, I have Charcoal from Novelkeys to try on but probably won't make much difference; although I do prefer the feel of PBT

[fluid ravine]

w

[trail forge]

is that a WoW escape key?

[fluid ravine]

i need 5 more mods that i wanna do to my 60he but damn its going to be forever until i get a chance to do them

[loud zephyr]

It's called Radioactive Waste Prayge by Alpha Keycaps

[loud zephyr]

Are you waiting for the Redux?

[fluid ravine]

i want it but i dont think im plannign on getting it soon

Case Swap
Switch Pads
Films
Stabilizers
Custom Plate
are the 5 things im thinking of rn

[loud zephyr]

Oh ok, aside from the case I think the only changes I've made were: Burger O-rings; Lighter springs(lubed as well as switch stems). I'm tempted to try a custom POM plate but we'll see

And re-lubed the stabs also

[mental hemlock]

@fluid ravine

[vast yoke]

damn, just finished up lubing all the switching and holy crap its made it so much better sounding

[fluid ravine]

oh damn

[mental hemlock]

good damn or bad damn?

[fluid ravine]

good damn

[mental hemlock]

it sounds like a wooting lol

[fluid ravine]

the chatter is gone no?

[mental hemlock]

did not expect that

Im telling you its so much quieter in person

[fluid ravine]

even better

[mental hemlock]

its not a wooting lol

it has oil kings

again many thanks to my brother Plipps

its a "hand me down" from him lol

[fluid ravine]

ah

[fluid ravine]

LMFAO

[mental hemlock]

I think I acquired his keyboard building skills

[fluid ravine]

💀

oh shi

w

[mental hemlock]

all it has is a burger mount and some case foam

[fluid ravine]

i have to start mine from sctrach

[mental hemlock]

and a PC plate

what do you need to do?

I just like having all the keys lol, I was missing V and ? before

the angle is higher than I thought though, kinda scared to go with OEM profile blanks now

[fluid ravine]

dont even ;-;

[inland ocean]

@mental hemlock got a wrist rest?

[mental hemlock]

haha no

we get carpal tunnel like real men

[inland ocean]

U should try it, then I think you won't have a problem 😛

I've got a wooden one atm

but was thinking of getting one of these (resin)

[mental hemlock]

that looks sick

[mental hemlock]

what lol

[inland ocean]

Well...

my gf is gona try make it

😄

She's good with resin

the one above is on etsy

the keycap is pretty cool too

[mental hemlock]

dont make me jealous

[desert dock]

Hey I bent one of my switch springs while bag lubing them, is there any way to fix it?

and if i use it, it makes the switch sound clicky and scratchy as it hits the housing

For reference, the top is the regular one while the bottom one is bent and seems to be enlarged at the same time

[mental hemlock]

how does this even happen

i know badseedtech said to shake the bag like it owes you rent

how many years has this mfer missed payments

[desert dock]

i did 😭😭😭😭

for a minute and a half

[mental hemlock]

just use another switch

[desert dock]

yeah about that, i used the extra switch springs already

cause three in total got clumped up only

[teal quiver]

I got myself the black one. Very excited, will def toss some pics into #1070668460905988106 once it's here.

[serene oracle]

What’s a good case that in stock/production and not insanely expensive

I’ve looked at the Tofu60 redux ($60) but won’t ship till September

Freebird60 ($78) the shipping and batch thing isn’t updated so idk when to expect it

Klippe T ($139) though shipping is an extra $40

[winged bone]

the psd60 is in stock and shipping

[untold wigeon]

i’ve heard that’s a good one

i’m looking between the psd60 and the klippe t

which should i get

[severe dune]

Just know with the klippe T you’ll be waiting up to a month till shipping. But quality is top notch along with packaging

[mental hemlock]

I just like how sharp the Tofus corners are

[brave agate]

hm, is double-shot PBT keycaps's profile OEM or Cherry?

[chrome garden]

double-shot is the way they are made. They have 2 molds and inject 2 different plastics in the cap

OEM and Cherry are both profiles

double shot vs dye sub

left you can see 2 colors of plastic on the inside

where on the right only 1

dye sub letters can wear off where double shot both plastics will wear together

[obsidian dagger]

the wooting ones are OEM

[inner condor]

why is it that the wooting uses the univeral mounting system but not some sort of univeral plate design?

[obsidian dagger]

because they need the plate to be very rigid for the analog sensing

[inner condor]

i see. that makes sense i guess? so when modding this keyboard flex would actually be a bad thing then?

[drifting topaz]

whens details on the wooting alum

[fickle vector]

Oooh shit, can't wait to see it

[late bay]

Do you know if it's possible to get Cherry profile rubber keycaps? I only need two R4s, but I'd buy a set.

[bronze grove]

But V, tattoos wear off

[fickle vector]

Who's the editor of the compatible cases list btw?

[bronze grove]

[fickle vector]

You? Or?

[bronze grove]

I add to it. But I did not originally make it.

[fickle vector]

Ah

Well, I was wondering if you could add the Brazen Studio 60% cases then... all the 60% designs are based on the same mold so there should be no compatibility issues at all

[bronze grove]

I'll need links and photos. I don't add anything "blind" 😄

[fickle vector]

Mine for reference

https://www.brazenstudio.co/

And there's a link

[bronze grove]

Any mods needed or notes about fitment?

[fickle vector]

It just fit, nothing of note. They come with screw holes for standoffs which you will have to screw in yourself, but the standoffs (and extras) are in the box

[obsidian dagger]

that pipe wrench just chillin

[fickle vector]

Haha yeah I've been working on a lot of stuff in my gaming room

[bronze grove]

https://tenor.com/view/half-life-crowbar-bash-bashing-gif-24267947

[fickle vector]

I think it's starting to come together nicely though. But I still have a lot to do

[bronze grove]

Moving in a month... after about a year. So I gotta re-do all of my office yet again 😄

[fickle vector]

That's an oof, but also a moment of opportunity

[bronze grove]

For sure - Definitely an opportunity to get rid of some of the stuff I thought I wanted, but maybe haven't actually touched in years.

Like my collection of WoW collector edition boxes. Or my 3 retro macs, or my 4 XBox OG's 😄

[fickle vector]

For me, my house is basically all simple, sleek nordic design, I wanted something less modern for my gaming room so it would become a better room to just chill in

So instead of the usual gamery aesthetic I went vintage

Picked up some lovely furniture for it

[bronze grove]

Aside from my motorised desk, everything is IKEA shelves. Simple, cheap and super handy 😅

[fickle vector]

That's the thing, everyone want the sleek modern stuff (IKEA) so they give away this crazy beautiful and detailed old furniture

It's free real estate

[bronze grove]

I used to do a lot of hardware reviewing, so my shelves were full of motherboard boxes and such. But that's a bygone era at this point 😅

[bronze grove]

100%

So many good deals if you visit second hand charity stores.

[fickle vector]

Even just any 2nd hand market, like Facebook marketplace

Picked up this cabinet for free

Put a cool lamp in there (which wasn't free unfortunately)

[bronze grove]

👀

[fickle vector]

Gotta drill a hole in the back for the cable but it's so cool honestly

[bronze grove]

Roughly my office as of two moves ago. Hasn't changed drastically except more keyboard stuff, less PC hardware.

[fickle vector]

Here's a pic before I put it in the right place, you can see the other cabinet I picked up for 70 USD, and the sewing machine table I picked up for free

[fickle vector]

I love the items you have on the shelves

That actually kinda goes hard

The lack of wood accents tho

(can you tell I've been converted to the wood faction)

[bronze grove]

I love the old hardwood look. Just very hard to find multiple matching shelf units that aren't expensive here.

Decorators keep hunting for stuff like that for house showings.

Rest of the office as of last cleanup 😅

[fickle vector]

Ah you want wall mounted shelf units?

[bronze grove]

I have cats. It's safer

[fickle vector]

That's pretty modern... might only find wooden floating shelves if you look for like 70s shelving units

[bronze grove]

The floating ones were mostly for the keyboards. The little slit cutout that's intended for photo frames works wonders for keyboard displaying as it turns out 😎

[fickle vector]

Yeah that might be hard to find. Where are you located again?

[bronze grove]

The Danest of marks.

[fickle vector]

Ah, same here lol

[polar quartz]

are there any cases for the two he?

just got it and the keyboard feels amazing

[leaden socket]

PINK! >:C

[bronze grove]

I'm afraid not. Most keyboards don't have shared cases you can swap between.

The 60HE is a bit of a unicorn in that respect as the keyboard community adopted a design pretty universally.

[polar quartz]

yeah but i can never use 60% i cant without my fullsized

[bronze grove]

We DO offer the design files for the 2HE case however, if you know someone who works with that stuff, and could adopt it for metal or wood. Not a small feat though. Or cheap 😅

[polar quartz]

probably 1k$+

i heard u are going to release a metal case for the two he somewhere this year?

[sand oasis]

has anyone done the band aid mod and was it worth it or does it not make a huge amount of difference

[bronze grove]

It helps a ton if you happen to know someone who's at engineering college, with knowledge of and access to CNC machines and such 🤣

[polar quartz]

and if so is it possible to just buy the case alone?

[bronze grove]

No that's for the 60 I'm afraid. As our competitor to other alu cases.

[distant crane]

Hey guys where to find the compatibility case list for Wooting 60HE ?

[polar quartz]

alright thanks

[sand oasis]

#🪛│modding_faq

[distant crane]

thx @sand oasis

[sand oasis]

np

[fickle vector]

Either way, I found all my furniture on marketplace and DBA. There's a ton of stuff there, you might find something you like. Just a tip -if you see something you like on marketplace save it immediately! The search function is so garbage there, and if you don't save something you find cool, you'll probably never see it again, even if it hasn't yet been sold.

The Copenhagen area is where most of the free stuff is

[bronze grove]

Good thing I'm moving there then

[fickle vector]

If you want extremely cheap, sleek modern, say, kitchens, or something like that, the rich areas around Copenhagen are the place to look. We got an amazing kitchen with integrated fridge and dishwasher, oven, stove, for so little money

Rich people just buy a house for 20mil kr. and proceed to buy new custom kitchens etc.
They don't care about money so they just sell amazing stuff for so little

[bronze grove]

[marble shuttle]

@bronze grove bro monıtor arm 😦

[bronze grove]

I do have one now!

[marble shuttle]

nice

[bronze grove]

https://www.arctic.de/en/X1-3D/AEMNT00062A

This one to be exact.

[last lintel]

Got my self some g205 from Amazon, but opened the container, and it’s a bit separated.
Do I need to worry about that at all?
Or just mix it up?
My old G204 that I used last time mixing with some 1514, have no separation after years on the shelf.

[austere creek]

mix it up

separation depends on both materials so the carrying liquid and the PTFE particles

aslso 205gX and 204gX

g205 and g204 would be logitech model numbers

[last lintel]

Ok TY

[austere creek]

if it doesnt remix u should be worried

but usually a good mix with scraping the bottom and corners etc makes it completely fine and as it was in the factory

so real question: lube station or just one by one lubing

[fickle vector]

Not exactly a keyboard mod per se, but I'm in the process of making a wrist rest. Takes a lot of time because I wanna do it all manually.

[austere creek]

hope that woods nice and dry

[fickle vector]

Oh it's the driest wood I've ever worked with

The log I've used for this has been stored in the workshop for over a year

The plan is to coat it with some Danish oil once I get the dimensions I want

[open wagon]

did any of you mod the Wooting 2 HE? key presses sound awful, sometimes metallic

[gentle silo]

lubing switches might help... but there isnt really a way to avoide the metallic sound when the plate material used is literally metall. (maybe some palte films like these)

[teal quiver]

The little bit of extra reassurance that these do, in fact, fit the 60HE perfectly is nice to have 😅 was only like 99% sure otherwise

[sacred jay]

yet another thing i will have to add to my keyboard

[fickle vector]

Yeah I took the chance as well lol, might've been the first 60HE owner to go for a Brazen case haha

[serene oracle]

The website says 5-8 day shipping

Though it’s $40, and I can’t seem to choose a diff shipping option

What do you think about the Tofu Redux

[teal quiver]

What mods did you use with the Mason60? This is gonna be really my first foray into custom keyboard land, and while I'm not going in fully blind—I've watched an ungodly amount of keyboard youtube—this particular case is new to me as of a few days ago when I saw that first insta post about the kintsugi run.

[fickle vector]

Honestly not much yet haha, I really like the sound

[teal quiver]

well that's encouraging~

[fickle vector]

I put some PE packaging foam underneath the included cork dampening. I've considered going kilmat to see what's up, but I'm still debating on that

It's a hard material, so it reflects a bit more higher pitched sound back than the original wooting 60 HE case, but the sound somehow has a better quality to it at least imo

[teal quiver]

planning to get some Cerakey V2s some time when they're out and I recover from having already spent like $400 on the 60HE and Mason60, and L45 switches for everything except maybe the spacebear (since the cerakey one is so heavy), but aside from that I've not got anything else planned out just yet.

[severe dune]

Are you looking at the EU site or Com? If it’s the global store or .com it’s up to a month because it’s made to order now. EU site I have no idea about. Now the Tofu Redux is the best bang for your buck probably the best deal you’ll find for an aluminum case as of now.

And yes the $40 dollar shipping is pretty steep but in this keyboard business and being in the US that’s almost normal. I pay any where from 20-50 for shipping on average for keycaps or cases that’s being shipped express from china or Europe

[fickle vector]

ceramic keys? Sounds expensive

So far I've been fine with the L60, but I had cherry MX Browns before which is also around that

I was thinking of going L45 for a bit, but I think the 60's felt too heavy because of my lack of wrist rest atm

Once I've finished crafting this wrist rest I'll see if that was indeed the case lol

[serene oracle]

Does that mean 3-5 days on top of the month wait?

[open wagon]

where can i buy these things?

[teal quiver]

Yepppp if I recall correctly the v1s were like $150 or something, pretty pricy. But worth to me; I like those sorts of novelties, cherry profile + deep thock sounds like a match made in heaven to me, and I loooove the texture of ceramic

[fickle vector]

Hey you went for a Brazen case, you have taste

Of course you like novelties

[next lark]

should be yes as that is only the delivery itself

[fickle vector]

Also, I saw this on google when I was looking up dimensions for my wooden wrist rest, maybe you'll like it @teal quiver https://shopee.ph/Wooden-Keyboard-Wrist-Rest-Made-from-Mahogany-Wood-Various-Sizes-For-Different-Sizes-of-Keyboard-i.109738157.11275588994

You might be able to find something similar (that isn't sold out)

[severe dune]

It could take that. But from experience and talking with individuals from the discord you should receive it within a month. The most I’ve seen was a month and a half. Including shipping times.

[serene oracle]

So if it’s going to take a month+ should I consider just preordering the Tofu Redux as it’s way cheaper and will be shipped out in September

[severe dune]

Depends. Anyone considering the Klippe T or Fjell is going for better quality now if you want the better deal Tofu all day

[thick mural]

yes

but thats just a disclaimer, you'll get it within 2 weeks

[serene oracle]

The Klippe T looks like it’s a very tall case but very nice and the Fjell is too expensive for me

Also do you know anything about the freebird60

Cause the shipping is outdated for their batch’s

And I’m thinking about getting a white case with these key caps, though I might choose something else, not sure.

[sand oasis]

klippe t is 8 degrees tofu is 7 wooting is 5/6 iirc

i opted for the fofu redux cause i couldnt justify the price on the klippe

[serene oracle]

Yeah makes sense

So u preorders the tofu redux?

[sand oasis]

yeh now i wait till september unfort

[serene oracle]

Probably what imma do

What color?

[sand oasis]

but the klippe was almost double the price

i got it white with the brass weight

but get a colour that matches your keycaps

[serene oracle]

What does the brass weight do

[sand oasis]

just adds weight

[serene oracle]

Is that worth $25

[sand oasis]

it might affect sound but im not sure

its worth it imo

but its not neccessary

[serene oracle]

That was my first keyboard

And the one I use

[open wagon]

are there problems with the wooting with the trigger point if you put plate film on it?

[serene oracle]

So u think I should just find a white set

Of key caps?

[sand oasis]

oh i see what you meant

theres black as well if you want

i thought you were asking what colour i got

[serene oracle]

I did

[sand oasis]

with those keycaps black case looks better imo

but white would look good as well

[serene oracle]

I think I’ll go with white, cause I want something refreshing. Though u think I should not get the ones I sent and instead a white set

[sand oasis]

they look nice but not really for me

those keycaps would look good with white

[serene oracle]

What would u go with, I’m curious

[sand oasis]

i like white with pastel colour accents

[serene oracle]

So kinda like this?

[sand oasis]

more like this

but gmk sets are very expensive

[serene oracle]

Oh ok

[sand oasis]

this is the set i have wihtout the japanese letters

[austere creek]

that looks like the worse version of my keycaps

[serene oracle]

Cool

[sand oasis]

they are not the best but the first picture i found

[serene oracle]

I might have to order a wooting and the white tofu redux case today

[sand oasis]

i should have got the gmk hazakura when i had the chance 😦 they are so nicceee

[sand oasis]

wooting is defo worth if you play lots of fps

[serene oracle]

What’s a nice white keycap set

Cause I like to stick with white and black tbh

[sand oasis]

im not sure you can find some on amazon

but make sure its pbt dye sub

or double shot pbt

[serene oracle]

Yeah

[serene oracle]

I do

[sand oasis]

backlight does make a slightly worse sound as well so i wouldnt get backlight

movemnt on csgo got a lot easieer when i got my wooting

[serene oracle]

Backlight as In pudding?

[sand oasis]

like the shine through

[serene oracle]

I play Cod, Val, Fort

[sand oasis]

where the letters light up with the rgb

[serene oracle]

Oh

Ok

Yeah I don’t like that

I have turned away from rgb

[sand oasis]

yeh i have mine off on the wooting

[serene oracle]

I might have to sell my other keyboard to afford this but idk

Because if I keep it I can try the topographic keycaps

[gentle silo]

Aliexpress for example, wooting also sells a switch lubing kit

[serene oracle]

What would be ur thoughts on an all white ceramic keycaps

[untold wigeon]

Do you guys think your first custom is like a gateway drug to other customs?

[serene oracle]

Yes

[wise imp]

Just waiting on NA-Comet to ship 🙏🏽

Then the Tofu Redux in ~September

[serene oracle]

What color?

[wise imp]

Black finish, my GMMK Pro is in silver so I thought i’d switch it up

[serene oracle]

Nice

Where did you find those keycaps

[wise imp]

I can’t recall. I’ve had them collecting dust for quite some time now, considering I was still debating between keyboards

[teal quiver]

I've already got a list going of other things I wanna play with on other customs... So, yeah, at least sometimes.

[wise imp]

They’re a clone of the 100T x Higround keycaps

[serene oracle]

Ok

[untold wigeon]

Damn nice

[fervent osprey]

I’ve got literally everything on hand just waiting for the 60he to come. Then the fun begins.

[untold wigeon]

I light just do another blank keycap build but in gray

Collect all the blank keycap colors

[untold wigeon]

It’s really fun bro I just got my first custom yesterday

Kind of hard though lol

[fervent osprey]

I’ve got 2 customs already haha, 60he is gonna be my first “gaming” board after almost 7 years.

[chilly jay]

100 space lmao

[wise imp]

Matches my batch 🤷🤧

Regardless fake or not, it will still be a dope cap set

[chilly jay]

yea they still look great

[teal quiver]

I'd love to try a 75% and a 95% at some point, thinking maybe a really coding-optimized build at some point in one of those sizes that's got a cozy feel for typing above all else, I'd like to have at least one clicky alongside what I think will be an army of linears for me, soooooo many pretty keycap sets out there I'm gonna have to do triage deciding which ones are sane to get...

[chilly jay]

look into teacaps, trust

[wise imp]

That’s what my GMMK is for, nice little coding build, and then the 60HE for all miscellaneous usage

[sand oasis]

I don’t like ceramic keycaps but you can try the@ out

[teal quiver]

Yeah, 60HE long-term I wanna make my gamer™️/generalist board. Not exactly sure yet what I'll do for a coding board, but I've got a few things to look into once the time comes 'round.

[untold wigeon]

HHKB blank black edition?

[hoary elm]

does the wooting 60he come with foam already? so when I swap cases shouldnt worry about buying new foam ?

[bronze grove]

Yes and no

[pure herald]

yeah there's foam already

[bronze grove]

Our foam may not be the best match for some other cases.

[hoary elm]

poseidon psd60 ?

iso keyboard

[serene oracle]

Is the lube and switch tool set good value or should I look to get it someplace else

[marble shuttle]

How can we fix the spacebar like this

[fluid ravine]

Can you take the picture in a straighter angle

From the front of the keyboard

Can't tell if it's a warp space bar or the module being screw more the the right

[marble shuttle]

when it is on stock case still like this

😄

[fluid ravine]

Yeah it's the module screwed more to the right

It's common to all the 60he

[marble shuttle]

yeah

[fluid ravine]

We all have it for sure

[marble shuttle]

but it is does the job

😄

lmao

[fluid ravine]

True

Lmao

[marble shuttle]

I am so mad still didnt mod 😄

gpl 105 pranked my ass

[fluid ravine]

Try screwing the left side a little more

But if it's at max then loosen the right side

Personally I only use the top left and right and the bottom screw

[austere creek]

might need a space under the side screws

[serene oracle]

Is the lube and tool set worth it, or is it easier to buy everything separate. Sorry for asking the same question, mine didn’t get answered the first time

[winter rose]

has anybody made their own strap for the 60he and have suggestions on where to get them made?

[bronze grove]

Etsy* even.

There's measurements over in #🪛│modding_faq 🙂

[winter rose]

i saw the measurements! i have friends i wanted to design it but didn't know if anybody had any places they trusted on actually making em

[versed pivot]

its a solid set with everything you need in it. If its delivered in a reasonable time frame, get it.

[fluid ravine]

Just get it

Everything

Is there

W

[mental hemlock]

Yooo TenZ

Big fan

[marble shuttle]

lmao 😄

[serene oracle]

Or are there any other ones u would recommend

Are these decent white keycaps

[odd dawn]

Anyone have a wood case that works well? Never done any modding and read some things about certain cases needing to be sanded - want to avoid that if possible

[chrome garden]

https://www.keychron.com/collections/all-keycaps/products/cherry-profile-double-shot-pbt-full-set-keycaps-black-on-white-bow
these ones are double shot pbt and will last longer

they are like double the price tho

[serene oracle]

$15 more

And thanks

[glad bluff]

whats the best case for the wooting? (on a budget)

[teal quiver]

while I'm not really equipped to answer that question, it might help to give a number for that budget 😅

[serene oracle]

Poseidon, Tofu Redux, or Freebird60 from what I have found

[winged bone]

wats the freebird60

nvm i found it

[meager elbow]

https://drop.com/buy/drop-skylight-series-keycap-set/photos#photos anybody know if these will fit the 60HE, I know they fit the 2

[fluid ravine]

Yeah

[vital ravine]

Does anyone who's done a custom plate from SMKeyboards have extras of these? https://kbdfans.com/collections/keyboard-part/products/kbdfans-m2-3-countersunk-flat-head-screw-kit

The shipping is so expensive😭

[fluid ravine]

Ong 💀

[mental hemlock]

big fan TenZ

[deep coyote]

was just gonna ask if anyone did the smkeyboard plate swap

[deep coyote]

if you can wait aliexpress has it, and divinikey(us vendor) has it too although out of stock rn

[icy pier]

get it from ali/taobao

[deep coyote]

tigeliteshop has it too for $19 shipping where i am, not great either but better than kbdfans i assume

[fluid ravine]

thanks

W

[spark solstice]

Welp I hope they have absolutely no problems when i install them into my wooting once I lube them I have pcb switch pads btw and got them to work in my current wooting build with no sacrifice to the full integrity of the 4mm travel distance actuation

[spark solstice]

I used switch pads they go under the switch and pcb and made it work keeping full 4mm actuation at 0.1 and 4mm

[austere creek]

they should work but im unsure why youd spend almost 70bucks on 35 switches

[south knoll]

After seeing that massive stone case, I've been thinking about resin cases

Too bad that seems like most of them are single colour, not much interesting layering

[gentle silo]

It’s 2x 35

[austere creek]

sorry still like 1usd per switch

[gentle silo]

But still that’s pretty expensive for switches

[austere creek]

pretty sure we come out to like 50cents or something

70switches for 35bucks

and a lighter spring lol

[mental hemlock]

lololol

hes got the money for it i dont

maybe theyre better and we dont know yet

[austere creek]

i mean this isnt even a money for it problem. this is basically getting ripped off for switches

pay twice as much per switch and get slightly heavier switches

[mental hemlock]

lets see

[gentle silo]

I mean if you want to spend you money just to realistically change the color of the switches I guess…

[austere creek]

well i persaonally havent felt what gaterons switches feel like since they did change the mold for bottom housing and stem. and when we noticed this internally calder just mentioned it felt slightly worse and scratchier than our original molds

[gentle silo]

I don’t think this will make a difference then if you lube them properly but idk haven’t tried them either

[austere creek]

well form what i tried especially at wootup lube doesnt fix everything

i wish it did

[ashen smelt]

Might not be so wobbly. Their email support might reply in less than 1 month too.

Might be worth

I’ll go buy some

[gentle silo]

https://tenor.com/view/supa-hot-fire-gif-4972452

[gentle silo]

Ye idk trying them is the only way to find out I guess

[austere creek]

so you want no wobble over scratchiness... good to know i shall share this internally

[ashen smelt]

Lube tends to fix

Can’t fix the wobble so easy

But if a problem like that does come around, I prefer reasonable reply times over whatever woofing got going on

[austere creek]

pretty sure we got that back under control now that basically half our company is customer support people only

[gentle silo]

I think wooting is more concerned about the stock performance then modded as I’d say 99% of people don’t mod their keebs.
(Which makes sens)

Not that I’m against the idea of minimizing wobble…

[austere creek]

were concerned about both actually

[ashen smelt]

Think a big selling point for wooting60 is modding

Never heard of their other board

[south knoll]

Considering the ultra enthusiast kinda market that Wooting has utterly dominated, I'd say a good lot more than 1% of Wooting buyers are modders

[bronze grove]

For modders? Sure. For the remaining 99% of 60HE owners? Not really.

[ashen smelt]

Ur email reply times are embarrassing. Speed it up

[bronze grove]

Entirely unrelated but okay

[ashen smelt]

Yeah I’m charging back 😂😂😂😂😋😋😚

[south knoll]

wtf just happened

[ashen smelt]

just annoyed with no email reply after 3 weeks

gotta eat the chargeback for that

[south knoll]

?? is it broken or something?

[ashen smelt]

who knew a customer who waited 2 months to get the board wouldnt wanna wait 3 more weeks for a reply on email

[south knoll]

would be kinda crazy if you did a full chargeback if it was a working product

[bronze grove]

You're more than welcome to throw me your order number, and I can take a look. But if you do make a chargeback, that is a nuclear option on your behalf, and it will definitely not help resolve any issues you may have.

[ashen smelt]

its a return issue. delivered on june 17th with no updates.

US52596H @bronze grove

[deep coyote]

that’s nice to know

i might do the same then

[south knoll]

oh wait, this isn't yours?

[deep coyote]

did you note any difference from it though?

[ashen smelt]

i got one of facebook and returned the one from them

only 200 on facebook

[deep coyote]

i’m also gonna get the pom plate from smkeyboards

[ashen smelt]

didnt think they would lag on me for this long now im getting frustrated

[south knoll]

ah

honestly, with my experience with hobbyist grade products and small companies and whatnot, its more likely than not the courier that's screwing with you in the end, but suppose you'll find out

[deep coyote]

ordered a sleeve to make the shipping faster

[gentle silo]

I should be getting my Pom plate today aswell. Mine was significantly cheaper tho

[ashen smelt]

You look?

[bronze grove]

My colleague @glossy pagoda looked into it. Since you bypassed our return procedures, it is not easy to track down the return. He's following up on it.

[normal schooner]

[deep coyote]

where did you get it?

[late bay]

I know this is a little bit out of left field, but I'm curious:
What does Wooting do with returns?
I seriously doubt there are many (because it's such an amazing product 😛 ), but I also know it can be really difficult to reintegrate a return back into normal stock, especially if it's been opened.

[bronze grove]

30 day (on delivery) no questions asked returns. You pay shipping back (we have a system you access with our help)

https://help.wooting.io/en/article/30-day-no-hassle-return-policy-kdli43/

[austere creek]

We dont reintegrate returns BUT we do check if they are still sellable and nice and if they are they get put into B-Stock for garage sales which we usually have once a year or so

[late bay]

That's pretty cool, I didn't know they existed. Probably not available in Australia though 😛

[austere creek]

its an online garage sale

not an actual sale out of a garage

[late bay]

Oh right

lol

[austere creek]

so anyone can participate

last years garage sale we found a few more lekker keyboards from our limited 1000 keyboard production and sold those in the sale as well

[gentle silo]

I know some dude that cuts me plates like ps Pom or pc pretty cheap

[gentle silo]

Are there any plans do do one this year again/ when are these usually

[hazy silo]

was looking into milling an aluminium case for the wooting two. any idea where I can find stl files or similar?

[austere creek]

yes sec

[glossy pagoda]

Perhaps during Black Friday but no promises - takes a lot of prework to get set up and we've got other things to focus on

[austere creek]

https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-design/tree/main/wooting-two-he

[hazy silo]

much appreciated, will take a look

[austere creek]

you still need to modify the file as the screw in posts are designed for self tapping plastic screws

[hazy silo]

ah ok for sure, will do

files look great, very usable

thanks for sharing! 😄

[gentle silo]

Understandable, how were prices on these sales usually handled? Do they get determined by the condition and stuff and is there like a baseline for the prices (e.g. base price 20% of)

[glossy pagoda]

One price per product, all products are at the very least "good" or better condition, vast majority are either "excellent" or "pristine"

[sacred jay]

for me personally it was that white stem on white pom blanks, any color on a stem (lekker) was pretty ugly

[austere creek]

good to know

[bronze grove]

Unless you're using completely blank, see through keycaps - how would you ever know 😄

[sacred jay]

also the spring but thats a more minor reason and i doubt anyone that isn't me would care much

[austere creek]

so a 50cN spring is more preferable to a 45 or 60 to you?

[wild estuary]

Finally modded my wooting! Wooohooo
I love it and cant wait to game with it

[hushed stirrup]

what keycaps are those?

[glacial wind]

Upcoming wooting one is 4 degrees for one of the feet options, lower than that I think perhaps only a lower profile one from aliexpress might be lower

nah wooting one as in their own alu case for the 60he is releasing

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/984799440072220692/1097821144284921936/image.png - believe the final version is black though

[bronze grove]

Not until they are fully finalized and ready for order generally.

I think it's like.... 4-5 degrees without case feet.

[glacial wind]

it would since default is 6 degrees

[bronze grove]

Similar to tofu

[glacial wind]

unless you mean low profile as in keyboard height?

oh then probably not

[glossy pagoda]

You can

Just keep the case foam under the PCBA for stability

[obsidian dagger]

glue it to the desk

[wild estuary]

TAI-HAO

[glossy pagoda]

You can't have your cake and eat it too 😂
The stock case is designed to be as low as possible, but it requires some amount of vertical space in order to have structural integrity as well as the necessary mechanisms to fasten the components together including the silicone feet

[icy pier]

is there any prototype that has removable standoffs?

center 2 standoffs

[glossy pagoda]

The Alumaze60 is designed with the same principles, but my assumption would be that it would be higher than the stock plastic case on the basis of manufacturing technique

[hushed stirrup]

oh damn theyre pretty cheap and available locally

thanks

[wild estuary]

Indeed a decent budget keycaps

[bronze grove]

Yes.

[cunning karma]

I am even louder then my metal case..it really doesn't say much

[bronze grove]

You probably don't have a price - But what's the price?

TBA

[cunning karma]

tba +/- tba

[bronze grove]

[gentle silo]

Is it supposed to compete with the likes of psd60 price wise?

[sand oasis]

any second now im sure of it my tofu redux will be deilvered

[gentle silo]

[serene oracle]

Lol

[versed pivot]

Tofu redux is even cheaper

[gentle silo]

Yes I’m aware of that and I don’t think wooting can compete with that pricing. That’s why I asked if it will compete with the likes of psd60/tofu60 (old one) as it was the relevant case when we first heard about the wooting case

[normal schooner]

i have some sus on why the redux is so cheap with a brass plate

its not even remotely close to the price of a fjell

[gentle silo]

Fjell and it’s weight are harder to manufacture because of the slanted sides and weight designe I’d say. and I don’t think mekanisk sells the same amount of cases kbdfans does

[gentle silo]

85$ for case with weight is reasonable, I wouldn’t have high expectations for the ano or ecoat tho

[fair mountain]

Please let me know the material of the plate and foam that will be more thock.

[gentle silo]

Non metallic plates like pc, Pom and cf

[marble shuttle]

@normal schooner i thought it will be over 100 bucks then i saw the price i was like they are joking

[normal schooner]

somewhere they cutted corners

get it

[fair mountain]

ty i'll try pc and pom

[gentle silo]

Guess we’ll have to wait and see where tho

[thick mural]

i see someone else is complaining about customer service

[stuck grove]

Hello keyboard gods I’m trying to find an aluminum case(in black) like the tofu60, you guys know any??

[last lintel]

Hmm, thought i read somewhere that the Wooting stabs come preclipped.

Is it changed, or is my memory just bad?

[serene oracle]

Tofu Redux, Poseidon, or Freebird60

The Tofu Redox is in production and available for preorder but doesn’t start shipping till September

And All the information about shipment batches for the Freebird60 are not up to date last time I checked

[versed pivot]

Could you give feedback wether the stickers dampen the sound or change it in any direction? Thank you

[last lintel]

Well, I’m doing quite a few mods at the same time, so will be a bit hard to know what exactly does what.
Also, I’m not using the steelplate, got a FR4 plate, so sound profile will be hard to translate over to steel also. But I did a sound test before starting, with iPhone camera. Won’t be the best comparison, but better than nothing

[gentle silo]

no i heard that aswell in a lot of reviews... guess it just wasnt true or has changed since then...

[last lintel]

They apparently changed lubing after May, I believe. But lubing still made a huuuuuge difference. But seems they aren’t clipped anymore. At least mine aren’t

[gentle silo]

i dont think mine were clipped either... a early batch so i cant really remember anymore

[bronze grove]

I don't believe they are pre-clipped. But swapping to the Durocks didn't really change anything for me.

[stray tiger]

Wonder what issue people are having that makes them want to clip off the stab legs.

[bronze grove]

Modding videos encouraging the practice? I vaguely remember seeing those a lot when I was modding me 60HE almost a year ago at this point.

Going in blind, trying to figure out what mods were appropriate for a 60HE.

[austere creek]

here i hoped youd know

[stray tiger]

I mean there have been a few youtube videos from years ago where someone said clipping the legs off their stabs fixed some rattle issue they had and then other people started thinking this was something they needed to do too. None of this is wooting related but its just like people who saw a video saying they needed to turn around their keycaps because of interference and that isnt the case for 99% of keycaps out there.

[gentle silo]

Clipping the stabiliser legs can help reduce the sound of the stabiliser hitting the PCB. Its just become common practise to do it even if it only helps a tiny bit

[stray tiger]

That's my point. A lot of things that have become "common practice" shouldn't be. In the last 2 months alone in this channel 3 people have posted that they clipped their stab legs and now they sound horrible and are rattling. Two of them weren't trying to solve a problem, they just did it thinking it was something they should do.

I've been in the hobby forever and while there has been tremendous positive change in the last few years there is also a lot of negative stuff. Modding for modding sake is fine IF you understand the risks.

[obsidian dagger]

more mods = more better seems to be common

in thinking that is

[stray tiger]

I usually find the opposite to be true (I know that's what you're saying too)

[obsidian dagger]

:)

[gentle silo]

this is my experience aswell. altho clipping stabilizer legs has been one of the mods that i do very often. I mostly work with genuin cherry clip in stabs + c3 wires and they dont sound good without clipping. I personnly also have not had the case where a stab sounded worse after clipping then before.

[stray tiger]

I don't follow a lot of streamers but Alexotos has been refreshing. He also preaches less is more and don't buy into the expensive modding hype.

[molten breach]

The stabs were never clipped to my knowledge.

[gentle silo]

could have sworn i heard it somewhere tho... Maybe a mandela effect

[sand oasis]

im a tarkov player, maximum copium already reached

[gentle silo]

im a starcitizen player... do i need to say more

[sand oasis]

hahah

[molten breach]

Likely false memory. I never heard that a single board came preclipped.
I have one unit of each type and none is.

[inland ocean]

clipping the stab legs were initially for cherry stabs that has like a plastic "suspension" system built in

from the pic above, it doesn't look like they have this? just some legs that sit flat

if so... clipping would be pointless

I'm using FL CMMKs so not sure

cherry on left

[spark solstice]

Saw some peeps say why spend that much money I mainly wanted to try a different switch rather than the wooting lighter switch they released recently I wanted to have a faster switch that was roughly a little more heavy than what wooting was putting out as their light switch the white color is my favorite and I was curious if having a solid bottom housing would make the switch more thocky

[stray tiger]

My favorite ones are "Hey guys got my Wooting 60HE and I changed the case, put 5 layers of tape mod on it, poured silicone in the case, did the burger mount, bought new stabs, clipped my stabs, did holee mod on them, added films to my switches, installed switch pads, replaced the PCB foam, changed the springs, changed the keycaps, lubed my switches and stabs, turned all my switches to south facing, reinstalled everything and now Im have an odd ghosting issue with my key presses and it sounds like crap. Any idea why?"

[stray tiger]

You are correct.

[spark solstice]

Only ran into one issue when putting switch pads and fixed it but yes I pretty much did all those mods except changing stabs and switch film and hole mod and silicone

[stray tiger]

Ahh now youre ready for a custom plate and switching to gummy o-ring mounting

[spark solstice]

Hmm nah

I'm happy with my build

Burger mount is nice for sure tho

[stray tiger]

Did you use metal screws or upgrade to nylon screws to reduce vibration?

[spark solstice]

Metal

Nylon screws ? That's a new one for me

[stray tiger]

The job is never done!

[obsidian dagger]

fill the keyboard with sulfurhexafluoride to deepen the sound

[last lintel]

Don’t go on a tirade!🥁

I’m doing quite a lot of mods at the same time.
If it doesn’t end up working well, then I’ll remove some.
For me, it’s no rush what so ever really. Like I’m not stressing it.
It’s just fun to try some of the newer mods that was not a thing really when I did my last keyboard like 5 years ago.
Back then, hotswap switches weren’t really a thing, so had to solder and stuff, and most of the focus fell on that.
I just really didn’t like the typing feeling on the Wooting, when I went from a lubed and sounddamped MX red keyboard.
So we’ll se how it ends up in the end.
But I do believe that a lot of the mods are snake oil really.
It’s like with audiophile stuff! Some things are just not really gonna do anything.
But a lot of mods also cost like nothing really. So buying a few pads and stuff, if you gonna lube it anyway, is not gonna crush your bank account

[stray tiger]

Yeah I encourage all the modding! Hell Ive done them all and wrote the FAQ, but I also encourage doing them 1 by 1 to see not only how it affects the sound/feel but if you like it or not. Also things like clipping stems becomes a physical mod that screws with your warranty so I tend to discourage hobbyists from doing those mods unless they absoutely are trying to solve a problem.

[fluid ravine]

I clipped mines 🥲

[restive sundial]

How much wood would a Wooting wear if a Wooting would wear wood?

[fluid ravine]

:v

(._.) ?

Sorry no engles

¿(.-.)

[spark solstice]

Wooding

[serene oracle]

Is there any reason to get the brass plate for the Tofu Redux?

I know it adds weight but is that all

Why does weight matter so much

[fluid ravine]

Uh

[serene oracle]

Does it just make it feel better quality

[fluid ravine]

Deeper sound 💀👍

Jk idk

[fluid ravine]

That's one

[serene oracle]

But I’m not going to be picking up the keyboard that much

And shipping is $25 so maybe no plate

[fluid ravine]

Good choice

Almost forgot how to spell choice

And grammar is falling off the cliff as I typed that sentence

[obsidian dagger]

shoishse

[fluid ravine]

Yeh

Yeah*

F

This is the only place I talk in this server how great 👍

Probably the only server I talked in the most

[serene oracle]

Yeah, plus u can buy the small square weights to put in it

It’s not like the case is translucent

[fluid ravine]

The wut now

Oh oik3 what silent did?

[serene oracle]

Like instead of the brass weight, (yeah)

[fluid ravine]

Yeah that works

W Silent

[serene oracle]

Can’t wait to drop soo much money and not get anything to show for it for months

Cause the Tofu Redux case is going to be a long wait

[fluid ravine]

Yeppers

Might as well get myself a purple psd60 if there's ever one

🥲

[fluid ravine]

Beautiful

👏

[molten breach]

These should be the same switches anyway. Only the spring should be different.

The rest should be only the custom color.

[fluid ravine]

WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE BROKE YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[inland ocean]

Buy a tofu v1 b stock and spray it purple, $25

Oh they all sold out now

[fluid ravine]

💀

[serene oracle]

Is the wooting60HE usb type C

I’m assuming it is

[bronze grove]

C on the keyboard end, yes. Comes with a C to A cable, but you could swap it for a C to C.

[serene oracle]

Cool

Appreciate it

[untold wigeon]

Burgers and tofu?

[untold wigeon]

Who’s gonna cut off the strap with an angle grinder?

[bronze grove]

That would leave you with a very weird angle.

[floral wing]

Interested in a metal case and overall just making the keyboard more quiet. I'm coming from Zilent 2.0 switches so I'm not used to much noise. Any thoughts on Freebird vs Tofu Redux case and what else would be important to reduce noise (especially any pinging) I'm assuming it's mostly to do with lubing properly?

[stray tiger]

No one can provide feedback on redux yet as its not available for a few months. As for reducing noise, lubing is a big help and you can play around with different dampening materials as well

[floral wing]

Sweet that's sort of what I expected, I'll grab the freebird case for now and a syringe of lube, I don't have the tool to take apart switches either so probably need to pick that up

[red herald]

Just case swapped my Wooting 🤌🏼 just waiting on the new Lekker switches to come in so I can swap those out!

[little compass]

Is the Wooting hotswappable?

[bronze grove]

With other Lekker switches? Yes.

[serene oracle]

The Freebird60 website doesn’t even have any updated dates from what I know

If u order it could u perhaps tell me how long it’ll take to ship if that’s available

[shell geode]

Is it me, or do lighter springs generate a more clacky/higher pitch, and heavier springs are deeper/thockier?

[untold wigeon]

Anyone know of a 60% PCB with a 1U right shift?

Also I finally understand why people say sound tests are a lie

My keyboard (not a Wooting) sounds much quieter than in video

[pure herald]

nice, what cable coils are those?

[last lintel]

Original

After mods

Mods:
FR4 plate.

Lubed with Krytox 205 G0.
Lekker 50 springs.
Poron pads around switch hole.
Poron pads under switches.

Hole mod with teflon material.
Precut tape mod under stabs with lube on it.
Wire stabilizing pads.
Lubed stabs with Krytox 205 G0.

1 layer of precut tape mod under PCB.

Standard case, foams and no burger mount. Waiting for Wooting case atm.

[red herald]

thanks! all the ones I use are from Glorious

https://www.gloriousgaming.com/products/glorious-coiled-cable

[untold wigeon]

My first day touch typing

[pure herald]

thanks appreciate it

[last lintel]

Yeah, It was odd text, and I was sitting really strangely, so it got a bit awkward 😆

[untold wigeon]

Still a zolid sounding keyboard you did great

Use .5 zoom if you can next time as well

[last lintel]

Sound doesn’t really make it justice on the videos tbh. iPhone mic ain’t the best. Really big difference in feel and sound irl.
But it’s clear that a steel case with some sound dampening would make it a lot better

[untold wigeon]
