the printing process

due to how it works it doesn't get consistent color

[mental hemlock]

and i dont have the tofu v2

peel your eyes

^^^

[violet bear]

i want the keycaps to look like this

like exact style coloring

buy CP WOB alpha-jp

and CP WOB Mod

[violet bear]

theyre abs 💀💀

[crimson sky]

they are doubleshot

so they don't like crap ootb

[violet bear]

but they crap overtime

[crimson sky]

people pretend like ABS caps melt to nothingness in a year

[violet bear]

nah not lik that

im a sweaty gamer

like the wooting doubl shot pbt caps sometimes gets a little sweat on it

[gentle silo]

Ong, but tbh it’s a wide spread misconception. Was under that impression before I tried gmk caps aswell

[crimson sky]

like they get shiny, sure

but neither as quick as the shitty laser ablated caps that random OEM boards come with

[gentle silo]

Yea no biggie depending on your skin type it can take quiet a bit of time actually

[crimson sky]

nor is it really that big of a problem to begin with?

[crimson sky]

yea skin type + sweat variance

from what I know

there are people that can shine "PBT" doubleshots in like half a year

[gentle silo]

Yea that’s just crazy ngl. For these people the melting abs is accurate maybe

My caps are still in great shape after like 2 months, no shining yet but texture is slightly smoother compared to a unused cap

[loud zephyr]

I wonder what traditional wajima-laquered keycaps feel like. It may or may not improve my gaming but it would certainly feed my hunger. So juicy

[glossy pagoda]

Reminds me of the Wooting Chocoboard...

[loud zephyr]

I would eat a few of the bottom row keycaps and make it WKL. Nice

[bronze grove]

[mental hemlock]

what does that acronym mean

[loud zephyr]

WInkeyless

[untold wigeon]

When im taking the keyboard apart is there anything I should know before starting or is the disassembly pretty straight forward

[bronze grove]

2? 60?

[untold wigeon]

60 he my b

[bronze grove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN_-GYLTfpY
This video will show you how to take apart the entire board. Bit by bit.

[untold wigeon]

Thank you bro

I'll send my build here when I receive it in August

🫡

[trail forge]

that said, it is really straightforward to strip it down. iirc, its only 5 screws holding the pcb to the case

[untold wigeon]

Oh good

[fluid ravine]

Is it bc of the standoffs

[crimson sky]

no, for gummy o-ring mounting you need cutouts on the edge of the PCB so it can actualyl sit on the ring

which the wooting does not have

not to mention that most cases that do that require daughterboard support

[fluid ravine]

So even if I bought like a new alu case like psd60 or klippe it still doesn't work?

[crimson sky]

those don't do that kinda mount to begin with

you can still ad the o-ring for sound

won't do that much though

[fluid ravine]

People have done it lol
I'm doing it to make it easier for me to take the module out and do future mods cause im a frigin modding addict

[marble shuttle]

its not late to cancel your order mr.mod

its tray mounted not compatable with wooting pcb he mentioned you have to cutouts ede of pcb

[fluid ravine]

Talkin about something like this?

[crimson sky]

more like this

but yea

has to have the right cutouts

so the pillars a the edge of the case actually go the the o-ring

[stray tiger]

I have gummy o-ring mounted the Wooting in 4 different cases. You can find some of my videos in here.

https://youtu.be/TotSEWmSxoQ @crimson sky @fluid ravine

These o-rings fit well https://graveshift.com/products/graveshift-m-o-rings

[fluid ravine]

Does it only work with cases that has side posts?

[stray tiger]

No, it's friction fit so it just sits snug inside the case. You can put some small rubber feet/bumpers in the corner if you want to give it something to rest on if you think you'll oush down to hard

[fluid ravine]

ah ok thanks

i ordered the bakeneko 60% Gummy O'ring 30A

[stray tiger]

Cant confirm if those fit but I know the graveshift ones do. The size medium is for smaller 65% boards and larger 60%.

[fluid ravine]

guess i have to wait and see

[weak fable]

How can I get a screw out if the person who installed it cross threaded it? I am trying to change out the keys for the new 45cn ones and one of the screws won’t come out. First time opening the keyboard so it just came messed up like that

[crystal pike]

I’ve had luck using an elastic band between the screwdriver and the screw

[weak fable]

Thanks!

[wary yarrow]

received my aliexpress keycaps and switch films, modding time 👍

[tiny lion]

Are this silicone ring right for the burger mount? On the wooting 60he right?

Or I need another screw

[marble shuttle]

Which switch films is that

[stray tiger]

Whats the inner diameter measurement?

[wary yarrow]

^ some people recommend 5mm od, 1mm id, 2mm thick

[wary yarrow]

#🪛│modding_faq says #🪛│modding_faq message

[tiny lion]

Inside 1mm
Outside 4mm

[crystal pike]

Finally got my wooting inside a psd60 and lubed up the switches

[tiny lion]

And 1.5 mm thick

[wary yarrow]

0.15mm PC
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005002885279946.html

[marble shuttle]

Is it compatable do we know? @wary yarrow

Which one did you but it there

[tiny lion]

I will have the silicone ring for burger mount

[wary yarrow]

let me try them we'll see

[wary yarrow]

they somewhat fit

basically this #🪛│modding_faq message

[clever talon]

Should I change the Wooting 60he plate to copper or leave it with the default plate ?

[wary yarrow]

people say the wuque studio films fit better, but even if mine dont fit perfectly they still do their job

[crimson sky]

stiff as hell

wait

lemme get out my ciel

[stray tiger]

Yes that's the idea. Flex causes input errors with these types of switches. That's why the PCB is screwed into the plate. Gummy just give it's a little bounce and completely isolates the PCB from the case.

[crimson sky]

that is not an o-ring mount though

you just squished it in there omega tight

[crimson sky]

granted that one is a half plate

[stray tiger]

I own 2 other boards with gummy mounts and they fit the exact same way.

[crimson sky]

very scuffed ones then

I own multiple ones

[stray tiger]

All of them fit tight, otherwise they would fall out.

[crimson sky]

none of them is that stiff

[crimson sky]

yea but not that tight

[marble shuttle]

Is it worth it ?

Or burger mount is enough

Got tofu60

[stray tiger]

Well let me educate you a little then. First off it's the stiffness and diameter of the o-ring (not the quality of the keyboard) that determines how tight or bouncy it is.

[crimson sky]

just burger mount at that point

[crimson sky]

didn't say the quality of the keyboard is bad

you are just trying to do something with it that it was not designed for

[stray tiger]

You said scuffed. Does that mean something different?

[crimson sky]

your implementation of an o-ring mount is scuffed

not the case etc

[stray tiger]

Totally disagree. I think it fits and works amazingly well.

[crimson sky]

this is how tight a ciel with a stock o-ring fits together

unless you try to that PCB etc is not falling out by itself

[royal dragon]

Love those keycaps. What are they?

[crimson sky]

top one is DCS solarized dark, bottom one is gmk modern dolch

[crimson sky]

that is with a case and PCB etc that were designed for that mount

[stray tiger]

Change the o-ring to something larger and it'll be tighter, you can also change to a stiffer o-ring and it won't flex as much. That's exactly why my parallel portal came with 3 different o-rings. Also if I turned your keyboard upside and shake it, that PCB would fall out.

[stray tiger]

I could have used a thinner o-ring on my 60HE and had the same fit as your ciel60 but I didn't want that

[crimson sky]

graveshift m actually flexes a bit more

the thin one in this one has very little give to it

it is 45A

[stray tiger]

Graveshift m comes in 9 different durometers so that's not a true statement.

[crimson sky]

and pretty stretched out

yours is a blue one

so it is 40A

[stray tiger]

Bad assumption. In that video was a parallel portal oring before I bought graveshift ones

[crimson sky]

ok, unless you use the 60A or 65A one then

the one in mine is definetley stiffer

I know the 45A one in this one is stiffer than 55A graveshift M on a bak

[stray tiger]

These are graveshift ones. You can see the difference in thickness, which changes how tight they fit. So no, it's not scuffed, it's preference. Yours is looser fitting, that's all.

[crimson sky]

yes I know

thing with a thinner o ring is that there is less material that is getting stretched

which makes it stiffer than a thick one

also means it will sit a bit less snug though

I had M-rings before

they were not that snug though

in a phantom 65

[stray tiger]

Then we didnt have the same ones then.

[crimson sky]

did you build your portal with screw in stabilizers?

[stray tiger]

Yes

[crimson sky]

yea that is the problem then

ideally you build o-ring boards with clip in stabilizers

since they take up less space

which makes assembly much easier

and gives a bit more bounce

[stray tiger]

I understand that, but that doesnt make it wrong. I actually prefer the stiffer typing feel and less bounce, so I usually stick with 50-65a o-rings. I am not a fan of the 30-35a stock ones.

[crimson sky]

yea which is fine

I am also not a big fan of the 30-35A ones

even though I use it with a half plate

[stray tiger]

Well you'll never have a half plate with the Wooting 🙂

[crimson sky]

just plastic weld the mounting pins to the PCB

and do it plateless

nah I will prob end up putting my 60HE is a frog mini

when the barebone kit is a thing

[stray tiger]

BTW that stiffness preference for me also apples to my frog mini. I use the 50a tadpoles with it

[crimson sky]

tbh

barely makes a difference in the frog

it is pretty stiff either way

[stray tiger]

The frog is the purple one

[marble shuttle]

4 wootinf

[crimson sky]

nope

2 at max

actually nvm

1 at max

[stray tiger]

I have 3 but there is only 1 in that photo

I did have 1 in the frog at one point but didnt like it that much

[crimson sky]

I'd go for a duck eagle v1

But unobtainium

And later ones have center usb

[marble shuttle]

@stray tiger you built different bro

[stray tiger]

No, I just spend too much on keyboards

[marble shuttle]

🙂

[gentle silo]

I got mine in a sageo60, never heard of the duck eagle, is it a bit older?

[crimson sky]

Yea the v1 is from 2014

[tiny lion]

Can someone help me to tell are this the right silicone I ring for burger mount! https://amzn.eu/d/11v0FhA

[stray tiger]

Looks like they will work

[fluid ravine]

what screws are those
i need it now i think about it ;-;

stock screws are too short :_)

[stray tiger]

6mm length should work great with burger mount

[twin citrus]

how to lube springs

i only have 205g0

[untold wigeon]

@crimson sky gimme a sound test

[fluid ravine]

brush them

[crimson sky]

of what lol

[twin citrus]

what dif does it make

then using 105g0

for bag lubing

[bronze grove]

That's what you use for springs.

[fluid ravine]

105g0 is lighter

[twin citrus]

I use it for the switches personally

[fluid ravine]

thats what i heard

[bronze grove]

Yes it is. But that's more of a personal preference.

[austere creek]

its not lighter. thinner

[twin citrus]

So why can’t you bag lube with 205g0

[austere creek]

more oily

[crimson sky]

almost any oil works for springs

[crimson sky]

205g0 is way too thick for that

[bronze grove]

Because bag lubing is a dumb gimmick. Gotta use thinner lube 😄

[twin citrus]

ohh

[crimson sky]

10x lube is an oil

[twin citrus]

Ok so i’d be fine just brushing the springs with 205g0?

[austere creek]

yes

[twin citrus]

ty

[untold wigeon]

@crimson sky that red keyboard with the paper

[austere creek]

is the same as bag lubing but you dont waste lube on the bag and can lube where you want

[untold wigeon]

Lego brick building

That's fucking nice

[fluid ravine]

sorry english is not online

[fluid ravine]

mods?

[crimson sky]

step 1: not a wooting

[fluid ravine]

:D

[crimson sky]

so yea uhhh

[fluid ravine]

i can tell

lol

[crimson sky]

can't replicate that with a wooting

[fluid ravine]

the flex cuts i think

[crimson sky]

fr4 half plate with vint mx blacks

[fluid ravine]

i notice them

[crimson sky]

and gmk

just has one large flex cut

[fluid ravine]

heh

ya

so that equals no wooting

im not using screws for my wooting :)

[stiff dagger]

Sounds good. What mods did you use ?

[crystal pike]

Just the alu case and lubed the switches with krytox 205g0 and 105 on the springs

And some aliexpress keycaps

[stiff dagger]

Oh ok

Turned out fine

[marble shuttle]

@crystal pike stock foam ?

[crystal pike]

Yessir

[marble shuttle]

Maa men

[crystal pike]

I’m thinking of getting some liner/foam for a deeper sound

[marble shuttle]

I bought stupidfish tofu60 its really deep

[crystal pike]

Did you get anything to fill it in?

[marble shuttle]

No

It fits really good

[loud zephyr]

M2/6mm Cap Heads. Definitely makes life easier with burger mounts having slightly longer screws. 5 or 6mm ideally

[tiny lion]

Where I can get the screw

[loud zephyr]

Try your local hardware store, otherwise Amazon should have something for you

[mental hemlock]

thats baller as fuck and its in all black?

immediately buying them

[coral prawn]

Hey guys, I've got everglide panda v3 stabs, do you think they would be better than 60HE's stock ones?

[short rune]

should i get the new switches for my wooting

the newer ones*

l45s

[polar girder]

Tempting

[short rune]

fr

[stray tiger]

Yes

[stray tiger]

No

[mental hemlock]

no he shouldnt

too lightn

[stray tiger]

I mean if he isn't happy with his current switches, try the new ones

[short rune]

i dont have they keyboard yet

[mental hemlock]

then why are you considering new switches lol

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[short rune]

cuz

light

[mental hemlock]

no

[short rune]

springs

[mental hemlock]

no

[short rune]

my bad

[mental hemlock]

try the keyboard first

[short rune]

u right

[wet spire]

if you've used 45g for all your previous keyboards, you can keep it on your mind for now but definitely try the stock first

[short rune]

i hse holy pandas rn

theyre 67

i guess thyre heavy but its not bad

[fluid ravine]

60 (stock) should be ok

45 would be to light for you
maybe

[short rune]

we’ll see

i intended on spring swapping but they were out of stock

i don’t accidentally press keys often

[south knoll]

wow, honey+drop is kinda a crazy deal

annnd it just errored out when I finished filling out shipping

[short rune]

unlucky

these switches rly tempting rn

[edgy dune]

yo

Will y'all do like a 60-75 percent keyboard with a screen ??

[short rune]

r u asking wooting?

cuz they r working on a 75%

but eith a screen probably not

thatd be cool tho

its like the apex tkl

u can use the software ro like put a image or sum on there

wtf

the final mouse one??

okay wtf

💀💀💀

uve never seen that before

oh damn

thats a kickstarter

thats a crazy board for a kickstarter

these l45s

looking real good rn

wym

[torpid crow]

how do i rescrew my wooting without destroying the keyboard

im trying to screw the module back into the case

they just fall into the space between the pcb and plate and get stuck in the foam

so i have to disassemble the module

[short rune]

do u have this pic saved

[crimson sky]

they are from california (surprising)

when they made a mouse called capetown it was named after capetown CA

I mean I know they are from california

nope

I know that people were in their office

there is one with the CEO but it was pre-finalmouse

don't think he has his real name somewhere atm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grCL-ynZHnc

that is finalmouse CEO AFAIK

yea finalmouse is his third try iirc

had an audio thing before iirc

I think they are over that again

[autumn pike]

Anyone here have tried the Durock Plate Mount stabs for their Wooting 60HE?

[bronze grove]

Sure.

[signal pine]

been thinking about a little mod to anchor my wrist rest to my keyboard to stop it from misaligning, but i'm worried it might interfere with its hall sensors

anyone have any whether placing magnets on the wrist rest could influence the switch sensors?
i marked where i'd place the small magnets and matching metal pieces

[bronze grove]

Can't promise anything. I would tape the magnets onto the case first and see if there's any interference before making any permanent mods.

Or just use Velcro or something non magnetic.

[signal pine]

nothing's gonna be permanent, i plan to just use double-sided tape

which at worst would leave some glue, which can be rubbed off and cleaned with some effort

velcro also doesn't sound bad, but -10 coolness points because it's not magnets, and it wouldn't be as extra precise

funnily enough, the simplest part is the hardest to find

i can't find the steel / iron disks to pair with the magnet

i found some but they're way too big

[obsidian dagger]

why not a non magnetic clip system of some kind? a pin and hole

[signal pine]

because I don't intend to mod the keyboard's chassis in any significant way

and magnets are cool :p

tho a pin n hole could work alright

[obsidian dagger]

hmm or maybe velcro

[signal pine]

already suggested, not nearly as accurate and honestly I can't imagine putting velcro on such a high quality keyboard

[obsidian dagger]

understandable

[loud zephyr]

What about using a mousepad that's 900x400mm+ size. That could stop the sliding, maybe

[chilly jay]

if you want it to never come off sure

and when it does it leaves a mess 😅

[signal pine]

I don't think there's a lack of grip

it's more just me being way too aggressive and also being too low, pushing on the wrist rest with too much weight

[polar girder]

Yeah I don’t like how my keyboard slides on my mouse pad either

Will try aluminum case and maybe go with brass weight. Undecided on that part yet tho

Will go tofu 60 redux once reviews come out

[fluid ravine]

Brought my wooting without even bringing a laptop

Lmao

[tall hollow]

Gonna try these 3D printed switch films soon™️

[untold wigeon]

How long does it take to print just one?

[tall hollow]

like 5 seconds each

[untold wigeon]

Lmfao

[tall hollow]

printed like 65

[untold wigeon]

At least you get exactly how many you need

None left to sit and rot

[tall hollow]

Anyways, it’s done

[tall hollow]

Not really, printed some extra ones because I’m probably gonna fuck up a few when I try to pop it off the plate

[untold wigeon]

Silent is a legend

[untold wigeon]

What printer is that?

[tall hollow]

@stray tiger finally trying some custom made switch films.

[stray tiger]

Lmk how they turn out!

[fluid ravine]

Ong

[untold wigeon]

We need more motherfuckers like that

[patent cradle]

I could never get mine to stick to the bed so I just gave up...

[untold wigeon]

Could use someone to help me figure out the fillet on the Tofu60 cavity corners as well

[untold wigeon]

Wdym?

[tall hollow]

what printer you use? I can help you out

[untold wigeon]

What printer do you use?

[tall hollow]

I use a few, the one you just saw was the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon.

[patent cradle]

Honestly can't remember. Give me a few and I'll get back with you.

[untold wigeon]

What do you think about the new 3D printers on the horizon, any you think that are worth getting?

[patent cradle]

Creality ender 3 pro with a glass bed.

[untold wigeon]

Stick as in it’s getting moved around?

[tall hollow]

Ok so, 3D printed switch film on the D key and a normal off the shelf polycarbonate switch film on the right. Only variable that was changed was the switch film. The 3D printed switch film was printed with ESUN PLA+ at 0.16mm layer height.

To me the 3D printed switch film sounds deeper than the polycarbonate one.

[patent cradle]

Yeah - gets moved around with the print head.

[tall hollow]

you use glue stick on the print bed?

[untold wigeon]

Sounds better on D

[tall hollow]

one day ill find an excuse to put it on all the switches

rofl

[untold wigeon]

When you answer my questions first do it

[tall hollow]

@stray tiger any thoughts?

[patent cradle]

Haven't tried that just yet. I'll test it out and let you know.

[untold wigeon]

Maybe the bed isn’t level

[patent cradle]

And I'll double check. Haven't had issues with it before, but it's worth a shot.

[tall hollow]

wheres the other duck? he must see this.

[patent cradle]

Glue stick made it stick to the bed, but coming off wavy. I think it'd be okay?

[stray tiger]

The D did sound a little deeper. Have you always used those Keychron keycaps?

[tall hollow]

ye, what about them?

[tall hollow]

thats ok

[stray tiger]

I have some and always thought they were very high sounding (which you might love). I just didnt remember if thats what you always used.

[tall hollow]

ah, lol

[patent cradle]

Thank you @tall hollow and @untold wigeon for your responses/time. Time to print ~70 and wait for the keyboard/switches to come in.

[tall hollow]

cool!

[short rune]

another day of thinking abt getting the 45ls

[untold wigeon]

no

[coral gorge]

just get it

[polar girder]

same

if i buy them will you buy them so we can both put ourselves out of the misery of wondering, "what if??"?

then lube them

[short rune]

LMAOO

sure

[polar girder]

and slap them in

ok let's do it

[short rune]

i alr plan on lubing them

[polar girder]

i'm gonna get the lube kit too

[short rune]

i alr got my lube from aamzon

[polar girder]

nice. i've never done it before

[short rune]

same

💀

[polar girder]

nice

ok well if you have your lube, lets do it

[short rune]

practice on a few switches

[polar girder]

i'm ready

ok

[short rune]

on my keyboard rn

[polar girder]

good call

[short rune]

i dont have my wooting yet

[polar girder]

oh gotcha

well I have one and i've also been super curious lol

so i'll buy them and let you know what i think i guess lol

[short rune]

mone comes at the end of the week

[polar girder]

nice

that's exciting

[lusty birch]

lubing is boring

and takes forever

[polar girder]

yeah i know it's going to fking suck

i don't look forward to it

but i very much look forward to having lubed switches

[lusty birch]

and if you lube your switches but skip your stabs

you are gonna wanna go back

so

[polar girder]

yeah that's what the grease is for

[lusty birch]

just lube it all when its apart

[polar girder]

right. good call

[lusty birch]

i, being a dumbass, thought that the lube on the stabs was good enough

[short rune]

im just lubing the stems

[lusty birch]

but

[polar girder]

don't swap the stabs? just grease them?

[short rune]

thats it

[polar girder]

I guess I might as well grease them then decide

[lusty birch]

compared to the freshly lubed switches, the stabs sounded horrible

[polar girder]

yeah my stabs kind of piss me off

lol

they're not really that bad

[lusty birch]

i personally dont see a need to swap them completely

im really happy with how my woot feels and sounds

[polar girder]

but the rest of the keyboard is just so damn smooth it's its one weak spot lol

[lusty birch]

part of me wants the lighter springs tho cant lie

[polar girder]

I was practicing counterstrafing on CSGO and i though they might come in handy

[lusty birch]

lol i got the wooting and then got addicted to diablo

i dont even need the rapid triggering shit for diablo

[polar girder]

lolz

[lusty birch]

oh well

[polar girder]

too bad WASD isn't a thing or you could use the analog lol

[lusty birch]

im still waiting for my tofu case to come in

frrr

[polar girder]

no WASD was a mistake

damn new springs and lube kit $75

x.x

[lusty birch]

sheesh

my lube + tool kit was like 30

idrk

[polar girder]

yeah the switches are $40 and $35 for the kit

[lusty birch]

damn

[short rune]

wait so

it wont effect

my order eta right

[polar girder]

57 cents/switch

[lusty birch]

what

[short rune]

since they’re in stock

[polar girder]

it's just a separate order

if you modify you might fk it, maybe

[short rune]

i can add it to my order

[lusty birch]

mine came in different times

[short rune]

so it comes together

[polar girder]

i mean you could

but didn't you say it's coming friday?

idk

I don't know enough about wooting process

[short rune]

end of the week

[polar girder]

but i would personally just order it separately. i don't think it would save you any money or anything. perhaps it would. idk

[short rune]

28-30

[polar girder]

ok yeah idk

[lusty birch]

my kb was supposed to come way before my lube but fedex was tweaking

i got them like 2 or 3 days apart

[short rune]

oh damn

u ordered them seperate or together?

i also want a jar full of switches

💀

[polar girder]

lol

that's fair

[short rune]

did u order urs?

[polar girder]

rn

[short rune]

bet

lmk the eta

[polar girder]

ok yeah will do

ordered them but no eta yet i don't think

[short rune]

hm

need the wooting team tn

rn

@fair pendant

[polar girder]

lol right

yeah it's "order received"

figure they just have to process it

[short rune]

if i add the L45s to my order u think itll delay my keyboard

[pure herald]

I don't think so

cause I ordered the L45's, tool kit and wrist rest after and the order is still the same ETA

[short rune]

bet

if it gets delayed

ur buying me anothey keyboard

[pure herald]

😂

hope it doesn't

[short rune]

same

[polar girder]

but what is your eta? @pure herald

[short rune]

oh damn

same as me

i got expedited tho

[pure herald]

31 July - 03 August 2023

I ordered on July 6th

[short rune]

thank you

so ir probably wont get delayed

[untold wigeon]

See if you like the 60s lol

[short rune]

[untold wigeon]

And

[short rune]

i could go for sum lighter

like its usable but get something lighter would be nice

[short rune]

didnt delay

[short rune]

just ordered mine

[pure herald]

good stuff

[short rune]

now we wait

our keyboards were suppose to be at the warehouse today

i thought wed confirm our address today

but probably tomorrow since shipping starts thursday

[desert dock]

Hey im having some trouble burger mounting my keyboard, any idea why the pcb doesnt stay in place in the keyboard?

[coral gorge]

buy longer mounting screws, it will be easier

mounting screws M2*5-6

[edgy dune]

YES

[edgy dune]

@fair pendant screen is what

unlikely what ?

[open wagon]

Has anyone else modded their Wooting 2 HE and can report what they did

[midnight cedar]

it's here 😍

[bronze grove]

[midnight cedar]

[midnight cedar]

has anyone tried smekeyboard POM plates on their wooting

how many kbd standoff do i need

[marble shuttle]

Open it fif21

And use

😡

[loud zephyr]

Looks like 8 on Smeke's plate

1 set of 13 from KBD is more than enough

[tiny lion]

Can Someone recommend me a aluminium case on kbd are no in stock I need a black

[bronze grove]

Redux?

[tiny lion]

Are this the same as tofu60?

[bronze grove]

Redux is the Tofu, yes.

With some tiny improvements.

[sand oasis]

shipping in sepetember tho

[bronze grove]

I thought they already shipped the first production? Interesting.

[sand oasis]

hmm maybe

[tiny lion]

Where I can get it I living in Germany

[sand oasis]

https://kbdfans.com/products/tofu60-redux-case

shipping is 20 dollars tho

[tiny lion]

What are the Ende price or are another case better then this?

[obsidian dagger]

define better

its a case

[sand oasis]

https://mekanisk.com/products/klippe-t-keyboard-case-only

this is a well respected case

but a lot more expensive

and has a higher typing angle

[tiny lion]

Also I have read the someone case have a problem with the usb not compatible or the screws are on another place to fix it

[sand oasis]

#🪛│modding_faq has a list of compatible cases

you can also look through #1070668460905988106 and see what you like

[loud zephyr]

I would just wait for the Redux, September is not that far away. Unless you want to pay double for the Klippe

[tiny lion]

But are the same Alumni I’m case? Or different because the Klippe are fast the double from price

[obsidian dagger]

different typing angle

[brazen raven]

Not modding but will get a case in the next few months and will lubw switches too

[loud zephyr]

It's difficult to tell without side by side comparisons, expensive doesn't always guarantee you a better product; in any form of niche hobby imo. Given the price of the Klippe it's actually a lot more affordable than other upmarket 60% keyboards.

[fluid ravine]

Stuff about to arrive (films, switch pads, gummy oring)
But sadly I won't be home until night 😭

[foggy mural]

These aren’t shipping right now correct? Only pre order atm?

[bronze grove]

Estimated shipping date: September 2023

[foggy mural]

Appreciate it boss, I didn’t click into the link.

[tiny lion]

Then are the Klippe better from quality then The redux?

[normal schooner]

I mean we havent had a redux long enough to give a valid advise

but i think both are good

[bronze grove]

If the Redux hasn't shipped yet, how can anyone answer that question properly.

[normal schooner]

need to say I havent encountered someone in this discord yet that didnt like his klippe

[quartz hare]

Where did you order the switch film?

[sand oasis]

I ordered mine from Ali express

[quartz hare]

I don't seem to find switch films that would fit the lekker switches

[brazen raven]

Now that I have my keycaps I desperately want to get one of those redux cases even if theyre not shipped yet

[polar girder]

What keycaps did you get? 👁️👄👁️

@short rune

Not sure what is backordered but hope it doesn’t affect your upgrade

The film goes between the upper and lower housing?

I’m hesitant to do anything that would change the performance of my Wooting.

Aka maybe film?, different plate, etc.

The burger mount seems interesting tho

Just gets the PCB off of the case mounts, if I understand it

[plain elbow]

I've seen people use film before. Shouldn't have a huge effect

[polar girder]

Like new case, grease and lube the stabs and switches, and burger mount it. Seems like massive upgrade and no performance hits

[plain elbow]

like this one

[polar girder]

Film could be sweet. I’ve never modded a keyboard and don’t know enough about it I guess

It just reduces any impact between plastic pieces?

Seems worthwhile. Similar theory to burger mount but for a switch I guess

[severe dune]

I will say this as a Klippe T owner. It weighs around 3 pounds without a brass weight.

[plain elbow]

i don't think it moves the magnets in the switches at all, so it should be fine

[polar girder]

Gotcha. Thanks

There’s reputable film sources for the switches? Or any film would do?

I’ve seen people just put layers in the sides. Others seem cut to fit

[plain elbow]

not all of them will fit because the wooting has an oddly shaped switch

[tall hollow]

ye

[plain elbow]

some people use these ones though

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08VJ8ZNV5/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A34E3ZEXX2T0BG&th=1

[polar girder]

Interesting

Ok ty

[quartz hare]

I heard these films dont really fit the lekkers, do you need to cut out the small "windows"?

[tall hollow]

they dont fit perfectly though

[polar girder]

Any films that do? Or just skip it

[stray tiger]

Updated the modding FAQ to add that the upcoming PC plate will be available as a stand alone purchase if you have an ANSI 60HEv1 and just want to upgrade the plate!

[marble shuttle]

@stray tiger do we know how much is the price ?

[midnight cedar]

gonna lube it 1st 😂

[sand oasis]

Wuque studios are the best one apparently

[marble shuttle]

@midnight cedar agreed without is not good 😄 for aliminum case

i will change it to stock case until I do mod 😄

[stray tiger]

No price information yet

[marble shuttle]

right thanks for info

[sand oasis]

No iso

[stray tiger]

Not yet unfortunately. Needs some changes to accomodate the standoffs better on that layout

[sand oasis]

Not yet means, you guys are in process of making adjustments, or as in you have no idea when?

[stray tiger]

Yes

[sand oasis]

Thanks!

Hopefully sooner than later

I knew I probably should have stuck with ansi when I ordered the keyboard

[stray tiger]

I was told a solution is being explored and I havent been given a date

[sand oasis]

Thanks for the info

[stray tiger]

Just order a module in ansi and you'll have both 🙂

[sand oasis]

Unfortunately that wouldn’t be nice on the bank account and times are tough

[stray tiger]

Yeah I feel you there

[sand oasis]

Hope the guys are able to find a solution tomorrow

[lusty birch]

yessirr gotta wait forever to get the tofu60

i paid like $90 shipped

[sand oasis]

Time will fly

[marble shuttle]

Time will fly

He is right

[sand oasis]

I’m excited as well

[lusty birch]

oh yeah im not too worried about it lmao

[marble shuttle]

I canceled my order on march for something they qre going to ship this month and we are in july

[lusty birch]

its prob the best case for woots tbh

[sand oasis]

Will do tape mod and burger mount when it arrived

[lusty birch]

happy it came back to production whenever i started getting into it

i think im gonna skip tape mod

for sure burger mounting tho

i have all the stuff to do it in the stock case but i dont see the point doing it now just to have to do it in another month or so

i did lube all the switches and stabs tho

[marble shuttle]

Alimium case without mod is ass

Just wait

On stock case 🤣

[lusty birch]

yeah they sound awful

might have to get some polyfil

or car dampening

i dunno yet

[marble shuttle]

I got stupidfish tofu60 foam

[lusty birch]

how is that

[marble shuttle]

Also tofu redux will come with foam

Its really deep

I did to mod on my tofu 60 wooting

He is using same foam too here it is

Just lubed switches and regrease stabs spring bag lubed

[lusty birch]

thats more clack than my keeb rn lmfao

i didn't know the tofu had foam tho fr

[marble shuttle]

Yeah

[lusty birch]

i was just gonna reuse the wooting foam

[marble shuttle]

Included

I didnt tried

And tried didnt fit

[lusty birch]

ive seen ppl make it fit

[fluid ravine]

I bought wuque studios PC films from cannon keys (cause shipping cheaper and I need other stuff from there)

[fluid ravine]

Prob put in half the foam

[quartz hare]

Thanks!

[quartz hare]

thank you!

[quartz hare]

I had a regular switch film available, the sound with film is much better. Not perfect fit, but it works!

Just cut out the extra row of plastic and it will fit good enough

[versed pivot]

Will the PC plate have an influence on the pinginess of the he60?

@stray tiger

I mean, it should. More precise: how does the PC plate influence the general sound n feel of the he60?

[bronze grove]

Couldn't tell you till they're released for sure. Tirade's just a volunteer, not staff. He doesn't have access to the topsecret stuff. But he can of course theorize based on past experiences with PC plate. 🙂

[stray tiger]

It will have a different sound and I fully expect it to sound more muted than the metal plate in the v1. @versed pivot

[versed pivot]

Thank you both. Definitly will get the plate for my ISO if its ever released

[sand oasis]

Yeh hopefully iso one is released not too long after the ansi

[jolly pumice]

It needs lub but I’m so lazy

[bronze grove]

Love the keycaps 😄

Almost screams "PAINT THE CASE TO MATCH"

[jolly pumice]

I’m literally thinking the same thing qaq

It’s like loading in to a game with the skins being bugged

[normal schooner]

its kinda looking like violet keyboard

the pink white combo

[brazen raven]

incrivel

[fluid ravine]

Ah shi

Packing arrived

And no one home 😭

Oh thank god it's in the mail box

[gilded pebble]

can i put the lekker switches into my wooting one tkl and have it work with the .1mm actuation and rapid trigger

[austere creek]

no

the original wooting 1 and wooting 2 use optoelectric switches and the lekker switches are halleffect based

they are inherently incompatbile

[gilded pebble]

damn

[austere creek]

rapid trigger is available though

just need to connect your wooting 1 or wooting 2 to wootility v4 either by installing it or using the website in a chromium based browser

itll give you some information on what will happen and then you can upgrade the firmware

its a 1 way upgrade

[gilded pebble]

gotcha

is the 60he north or south facing?

[austere creek]

north but the switches are made to not interfere

should you get a keycap set that is somehow interfering due to tolerances in manufacturing of the keycaps you can always flip the switches around and all you trade is a reduction in led brightness

[fluid ravine]

YES THANK YOU
I LOVE YOU 😭👍

[tiny lion]

I have a question have wooting a aluminium case the next?

[bronze grove]

I.... what?

[shell geode]

Wooting will release a 60% aluminum case soon

[tiny lion]

Are better to wait for a wooting case?

[sand oasis]

It’s up to you

[shell geode]

That is your choice. You can either wait to see the case and do research on reviews, or find an available case you like now and get it

[sand oasis]

I believe that the wooting alu will still have the hole thing for the strap

So if you don’t like that I wouldn’t get it

[polar girder]

Wooting and Tofu Redux will be out in the next month or two

Soooo yeah

Probably two of the most 60HE specific cases to be out

[normal schooner]

b-but what about our case 👉 👈

[polar girder]

Who

[marble shuttle]

Wooting alu case is more iconic and unique wanna try it and wondering how is going to feel

[normal schooner]

thats the spirit tuna!

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m just waiting personally until those two both come out to decide

[jolly pumice]

Are there any case that would fit the 2he?

[bronze grove]

Nothing off the shelf. Would have to be cusom made.

[jolly pumice]

Will wooting be able to provide the dimensions for the pcb etc?

(so I can go maybe get one custom made)

[stray tiger]

Ignore, thought this was a 60he question

[bronze grove]

https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-design/tree/main/wooting-two-he
We have the case.

[bronze grove]

TwoHe 😉

[jolly pumice]

[stray tiger]

Yes

No, you need the plate to attach to the PCB. There is already a plate file out there that you can use to have one made.

Let me see if I can find it

[untold wigeon]

Time to use your computer

[untold wigeon]

No, let him find it by himself. He’s a big boy.

Trust me. You haven’t.

It’s there

[stray tiger]

I make no guarantee it works and its not supported. Just letting you know I have used it successfully

Pricing hasnt been announced yet and you can check the FAQ to answer the other questions https://discordapp.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399

As far as I know the PCB isnt available by itself. Im not employed by Wooting so that would be a question for them

[untold wigeon]

You choose which ones you want

45s or 60s

yeah

[fluid ravine]

@stray tiger i need help with gummy o ring haha

[stray tiger]

It either fits or it doesnt, not much to help with lol

[fluid ravine]

now im worried

lol

i just finish puting switch pads

struggling with gummy oring?

ye

[stray tiger]

If its the right size itll fit with some effort to push the ring down and in. After putting the back side in and lining up the USB port I then do the sides and front. I usually start at the middle and work the o-ring to the outsides

[fluid ravine]

ITS SO SNUGGGG

[stray tiger]

Doesnt look too bad. Start at the spacebar key and push it down and out to the sides

Use a credit card or plastic tool

[fluid ravine]

I DID IT

HAHAHA

[stray tiger]

You have graduated to level 2 now

[fluid ravine]

yessssssssssssssss

:DDD

first gasket mounted in stock case? 👀

oh wait should i split the stock foam in half?

[stray tiger]

If youre in the stock case then no reason to modify the foam

[fluid ravine]

kk

ima start filming switches now :]
thanks tirade

[stray tiger]

Ill give you a helpful hint

If you remove the corner switches at this point your o-ring will try and push itself in and make putting the switch back in a challenge so Id pop the board out and film the corners first. Then you can reinstall and do the rest

[fluid ravine]

aight :)

[stray tiger]

Im out for the night. Good luck!

[fluid ravine]

thx

gn

[mental hemlock]

night tirade

[steel rock]

FAQ still says there're no switch films for the lekker switches. This still true?

[mental hemlock]

you can 3d print your own and there are some out there that fit

[fluid ravine]

2 of them could fit and yeah you can 3d print

[coral gorge]

Which ones??

[sacred jay]

at least the second

[pastel tundra]

Is there !!!!!!

[gentle silo]

Wuque studio and geonworks films work

[mental hemlock]

fine

[sacred jay]

is chassis flex a thing in keyboards? like a 2 part case being flexible

cause the 2 parts have something a little non-rigid in between them

[loud zephyr]

Chassis' are always rigid, it's the PCB mounting type that will determine the flexibility. Leaf spring mount provides the most bounce and plateless PCB's are flexible. Sandwich mounts are probably the most rigid.

[sacred jay]

well not really the chassis itself

just the two parts not being entirely put together too rigidly

but not unstable

[brazen raven]

Good shit man

[loud zephyr]

Unless it's a plastic keyboard I haven't had any aluminum cases that flex

[untold wigeon]

Sandwich?

[loud zephyr]

Here's most mounting types better explained: https://cultists.network/732/keyboard-101-part-4-case-plate-mounting/#:~:text=Sandwich Mount,the name “Sandwich Mount”.

[bright veldt]

Hello, Should i install my Lekker switches south facing or north facing does anyone know the benefit of northfacing switches or is it only for no RGB, Thank you for all responses and your time.

[bronze grove]

Only reason to install them south facing is because you know that your keycaps won't work north, and you don't mind losing brightness.

[bright veldt]

I bought gmk striker, i ll install them normaly 🙂 thank you very much for the answer

[sand oasis]

If you do happen to notice interference you can switch them to south facing but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that with gmk

[zenith sand]

are there any pictures of the wooting aluminum case?

i ordered the tofu60 redux but want to know if i should cancel it for the wooting one

[patent cradle]

There are a few images in the pinned posts in this channel.

[zenith sand]

Thanks, didnt see it before. Looks nice, wondering what the price will be

[fluid ravine]

Wuque studios
Geonwork

[fluid ravine]

:D

[fluid ravine]

Got dem plastic clacks again
No more deep sounds :(

[fervent osprey]

I bought these from AliExpress for 5€ and they fit no problem. Warped around the sides but flattened after clicking the switches together. No wobble at all afterwards.

[tiny lion]

Can someone tell me please wich screw I need for burger mount?

Can i usted the original Form Wooting?

[fluid ravine]

Just finish filming in the car

I ain't gonna lie

The board sounds like absolute shit

[fluid ravine]

M2 6mm

[bronze grove]

The default screws are already 5mm

[fluid ravine]

If I can send a vid rn I would but idk how but god

The board sound awful

I need some help but not right now
Wait till I get home

For anyone that has filmed their switches
Did y'all experience like this plastic clacky shit sound?

My ears are bleeding from it

[sand oasis]

Do you have an aluminium case?

[fluid ravine]

No

[normal schooner]

do your wooting switches wobble?

[fluid ravine]

Some of them

[normal schooner]

[fluid ravine]

I shouldn't be filming the switches that are tight shouldn't I..

[sand oasis]

Did you use the wuque one

[fluid ravine]

Ye

Wuque

[sand oasis]

I’ve got some coming in a couple weeks as well

[fluid ravine]

Lemme list the mods that is currently been in the keeb rn

[sand oasis]

@fluid ravine it does sound a bit more clacky

Idk how yours sound tho

[normal schooner]

my advise is not to use films at all

[sand oasis]

I’m gonna try them out and see what I think and then I’ll go from there

If I don’t use them it’s not the end of the world they might come in handy at one point

[fluid ravine]

Stock case
Switch foam
Lubed switches (krytox 205g0)
Switch tape mod
Filmed (wuque)
Gasket mount
Poron switch pads
Glorious GPBT key caps

Relube stabs

Ima brb

Ok so wuque studios do make the switches sound clackier ig

[untold wigeon]

[stray tiger]

Ive used the wuque films and I cant say they made much of a sound difference. My switches didnt exhibit abnormal housing wobble so there wasnt a need to film but I did it so that I could have first hand experience filming these specific switches.

[untold wigeon]

Is this a worthy moment to tag a mod

[fluid ravine]

Yes

[untold wigeon]

Nvm, they're ready

[stray tiger]

I handled it

[fluid ravine]

Thx

[untold wigeon]

Thank you

[fluid ravine]

Thinking about if it's worth filming :/

Ok gotta run some errands

I wanna go home haha

Ah i got it

Ok so yeah
Like tirade said it doesn't sound that different
Some sound bad bc I f up the film process on some of the switches

I fixed them 👍
Sound better

But not my preference
So gonna try to find away to make it sound deeper

[gentle silo]

why is that?

[polar girder]

Yeah I think I’m going to skip the film when I lube

Seems negligible but I don’t feel comfortable messing with the switch like that

Curious about these new plates tho 👁️👄👁️

[fervent osprey]

Do we have any estimates how much the pc plate alone would be?

[polar girder]

Someone that knows something about plates, how will they affect the feel/sound?

[fluid ravine]

No info

Tirade said there is currently no info on the pricing of the plates alone

[stray tiger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmljIhkHOlI&t=715s

[polar girder]

Huge. Ty

60HE comes stock with steel plate correct?

[stray tiger]

This is a summary

Yes

[polar girder]

Oh wow.

Ok that’s great

And PC will be among the plates offered

Yahtzee

[stray tiger]

Maybe the next revision will have an aluminum plate (my personal fav) who knows

[sand oasis]

Current is steel?

[polar girder]

Yeah I’ve heard good thing about aluminum

[stray tiger]

Current is steel and PC is upcoming

[sand oasis]

Sounds good

[polar girder]

Oh PC is not stiff tho

I see the trade off

[sand oasis]

It’s only ansi that will be released, until stabiliser compatibility issues have been solved

FYI

[fluid ravine]

Gotta get myself that damn pc plate >:p

[polar girder]

YeH I’ll try the PC plate when it comes out

[marble shuttle]

@fluid ravine imagine still clacky with pc ahaha bro your destiniy is clacky

😄

[polar girder]

Aluminum case, PC plate and lubed switches/stabs. Probably sufficient.

[marble shuttle]

ooff

[polar girder]

ooff what lol

[marble shuttle]

uuuuuuuf

[polar girder]

Only thing that sucks is I’m torn between Wooting Alu and Tofu Redux cases

Going to be months before either one 👀

[marble shuttle]

buy both of them how is that

😄

you might cannot find in future tofu redux case I will yoink both of them if i were you

[fluid ravine]

REEEEEEEEEE

[polar girder]

Would brass weight change sound?

Seems so

[marble shuttle]

But doesnt compatable

But if they make yeah will change the slund

Sound*

[polar girder]

For tofu redux tho

[stray tiger]

Could it? Maybe. It will make it heavier which is typically what the brass weight is for. Adding a small piece of brass to the bottom is less to do with changing the sound and more weight and aesthetics.

[polar girder]

Aluminum case would already be a bump up in the weight from the stock plastic I guess

[stray tiger]

Well thats also a change in case material as well so thats a bigger difference between aluminum and stock. Adding a little brass to the bottom of an aluminum case isnt typically a big change in sound.

[fluid ravine]

Correct^^

[polar girder]

Right on. Yeah this is just my first custom keyboard so I’m generally clueless lol

[fluid ravine]

👏

[polar girder]

Going aluminum mostly for the acoustics but also need a bit of extra weight to prevent sliding while gaming

[fluid ravine]

Custom keeb 😂

[polar girder]

You usually hand craft your PCB or what?

[fluid ravine]

?

[polar girder]

Just confused what you meant here

[fluid ravine]

You said "this is just my first custom keyboard"
And I just find it funny bc the wooting board is more of a gaming keyboard that could be customized, not at all custom lvl tho

Nothing personal
Humor weird ig

[polar girder]

Right yeah. But swapping out case and plate and lubing switches not good enough for you I guess. I’ll refrain from using word custom keyboard so I don’t insult anyone lol

[fluid ravine]

/¯_(ツ)_/¯

[polar girder]

Yeah I know. It’s not that serious. All good

[fluid ravine]

You fine
People use it in a certain wooting video in the comment section and started a war
I'm over here like GET ME MY POPCORN

It just reminded me of that so that's why I find it funny

[polar girder]

Right on

[fluid ravine]

so

tape

saved the day

;-;

got home did tempest mod
and well it helped even though it suppose not to

And I fucked up

(I cutted the foam on accident)

[merry glen]

What size o-rings are best for burger mount on 60he?

4x1x1 or 4.5x1.5x1.5?

[fluid ravine]

clack clack clack

ALL I HEAR IS CLACK
you're right @marble shuttle maybe i am destined for clack 🥲

[fluid ravine]

second one

seems right i think

idk

plsss clack is starting to become hell for me :_(

loving the spacebar doe

anyways thoccy wooting people what mod do i have to do or remove to get dem thoccy shit
MODS
Stock case
Stock Foam
Gasket mount (gummy Oring)
Poron switch pads
Lube switches (Krytox 205g0)
Relubed and holee modded stabilizers
Switch Tape Mod
Filmed (Wuque studio films)
Tempest mod (5 layers)
Glorious GBPT Keycaps

[sand oasis]

are you thinkin gof getting an aluminum case

[fluid ravine]

really need one

but i dont think i will be getting one soon

:/

[sand oasis]

yeh they are expensive

[fluid ravine]

alu case should help huh

[fluid ravine]

my broke ahhh

[sand oasis]

maybe try lubing the switches a bit more

did you lube the floor of the bottom housing?

[fluid ravine]

oh god if my buddies are here they would call me out

um

[fluid ravine]

so like you see

i uh

relube this shit 2-3 times and

uh

im modding the hell out these damn switches

and yes i lubed every frigin parts of the switches

[sand oasis]

for me lubing the floor or the housing made the most difference to calcky

[fluid ravine]

ok hold up lemme send you something

[sand oasis]

also tape mode and burger mount will make a more noticeable difference with a alu case imo

[fluid ravine]

huh pic look clear on my phone

anyways

[fluid ravine]

it is

[sand oasis]

Yes ik I need to clean but the floor of the bottom housing on the j key has more lube than the a key

I’m waiting on lube to make it more consistent

The a is a lot more clacky irl

[fluid ravine]

its more like the lube getting work in or the mounting points

cause im sure that most wooting are deeper on the right side

[sand oasis]

yeh
