[fluid ravine]

cause when screwing in the board its more to the right

so its deeper

[sand oasis]

shame i cant get the pc plate until they manage to release an iso

[fluid ravine]

mines balanced since i gasket mounted mine

rip

[sand oasis]

yeh i will gasket and tape mod when my tofuredux arrives in a couple months

but im filming the switches soon as well

[fluid ravine]

what films you getting

[sand oasis]

wuque ones

[fluid ravine]

m

[sand oasis]

i will see how they feel worst comes to the worst i wasted a tenner

[fluid ravine]

i honestly prefer no films but its whatever

not much of a difference

oh wth

OH WOAH

um

somethings wrong

my a and d are being f up

its spamming keys

uh oh

[sand oasis]

yep thats something ik nothing about soz

[fluid ravine]

weird

when i filmed these in the caaaar i was getting the chaatter vibes

oh there we go

the A is spammed for no reaason

aalert alert sensor f up

haha

im noticing some issue wwith the sensor ;-;

just played a valorant death match

and my W is deactivating without me even releasing

brightness is at 70

0.1 on wasd

oh

i forgot

holdup

0.15mm

yeah its small

huh usually its not

been palying like this for a couple months without a problem

films +.15mm
rapid trigger- deactivate rn!!!!!!!!

haha

ah

how does a keyboard overlay work

o

oh i needdd that

MY D

AH F

i think switch pads are fine since they're 0.5mm

iddk if its the films or not

since i filmed them they start acting off

AH IT IS THE FILMS

i foundd the problem

oh shi it either meansss i installed them incorrectly or it just f up

ok so i have the RT display on rn
and when i was holdding W, i lean the keycap to the right andd it deactivated, lean it to the left it actuate

its weird no?

[stray tiger]

swap that switch with another and see if its still happens

[fluid ravine]

yeah it still happens

i tried with 3 of them

[stray tiger]

Then maybe its the pad you installed OR and hear me out here, some people have reported a similar issue that youre describing after tape mod. Try removing the tape as well

[fluid ravine]

ok i got a switch that is filmed without the tape

[sacred jay]

switch pad does this

even a small separation will change magnetic force

[stray tiger]

makes sense to me

[fluid ravine]

reee man i gotta do like 4 tests

ok holdup

[stray tiger]

Thats why the FAQ suggests one mod at a time and then test 😎

[fluid ravine]

bahah

tru

ok found it pt.2

alright 2 thingss

um dont mix the switch tape mod with the films
its f up

and sound profile of the switch tape mod and the film themselves they sound the same

so technically my problem is i mixed the 2 mods which i should it really messes up the sensor
not the switch pad
and it maade the keys sound like plassssticccc

i have no options to do now
1.)take out the tape
2.)take out the films

[sand oasis]

take out both and see which affects sound more

who cares about time

just buy a test wooting instead

time is money

(obviously a joke please do not do this)

maybe i should buy an ansi module

so i can get the pc place

[autumn pike]

Hey, anyone here tried filming the lekker switches for Wooting 60HE?

I noticed there is a housing wobble

I was wondering if what film is recommended for the switch or should I even film it?

[fluid ravine]

i like both

but the thing between them is that
the switch tape mod make the switch sound solid af like it would like make it sound marbly but the smoothness just decreases
the films on the other hand it would sound like every lube lekker, also has that clunky sound which i dont like as much as the the switch tape mod but atleast theres no chatter

GYAT MY SPACEBAR MARBLY

HOLY SHI

[silent olive]

Hey guys, I’m getting my wooting 60he Saturday and am brand new to modding. Is there any red aluminum cases on the market?

Or any metal

[fluid ravine]

Tofu60 Redux Burgundy Red
PSD60 Red

Klippe T Red

aluminum cases btw^

[silent olive]

Don’t know any of those, what do you recommend?

[fluid ravine]

PSD60 is the budget

klippe t red would be on the expensive side

do you have a budget?

[untold wigeon]

Klippe T for me personally

[silent olive]

I don’t know ANYTHING btw. I’m not too worried about difficulty I just want the cleanest thing. Somewhat cost conscious but if there’s a clear favorite/best I’ll pay for it

[untold wigeon]

Best quality one

[fluid ravine]

yeah klippe t

[untold wigeon]

Tofu Redux close second

That burgundy red is sexy

[fluid ravine]

mhm

ong

BAHAH

[silent olive]

No unless we are talking about like a $300 case which seems silly

[fluid ravine]

ok no

klippe t is like 120 i think

[untold wigeon]

@silent olive

[fluid ravine]

the red is 130

[silent olive]

Klippe is the best?

[fluid ravine]

ig so

[untold wigeon]

Yeah check it out

[silent olive]

Also how available are these things

[untold wigeon]

Always, shipping is costly though

Check it out in their website

Mekanisk.com

[fluid ravine]

in stock rn i think

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

[near barn]

i don't mean to interrupt any ongoing conversations, but does anyone know how to silence the sound of upstroke? I assume it's the keycaps but just want to be certain(oem keycaps, baka60 case). I also noticed the sound of the top row keys(esc-backspace) sounds a lot more deep compared to my other keys(which i like), does anyone have any recommendations on which keycap profile I should be looking for?

[fluid ravine]

HAHA oh boy

umm so like

[silent olive]

Lol

[fluid ravine]

theres this thing i really like called the switch tape mod
which i just removed sadly

[untold wigeon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1109290348485812247/1132960737212502046/RPReplay_Final1688469895.mov

[fluid ravine]

if you have the time to double the time of the lubing process then you should go for it yuh know

:_)

[silent olive]

What do you guys recommend I do? Anything a must do with the wooting? I don’t really care about the sound at all but since I’m changing the case and some key caps I wanted to kinda go all out for fun to see if it’s something I like

[untold wigeon]

Lube

Burger mount

Tape mod

[near barn]

crazy you say that.. I received my kb back in late april/early may, and i've lubed my switches a few keys at a time everyday; I feel like i've relubed my switches atleast 3x now(going off less is more rule) and i swear i've overlubed atleast 2 of my switches, which sound entirely similar to the rest, if not, muddy

[fluid ravine]

ayyy hes like me @marble shuttle

[untold wigeon]

I feel like less is more with mods too

[silent olive]

Lube, burger mount, tape mod

What materials do I need for alla dat

[untold wigeon]

People do like 100 mods and they still aren’t satisfied

[silent olive]

I know burger mounting is just doubling up on some plastic o rings right

[autumn pike]

If you're new to lubing switches, I suggest using 3203 or 3204 it's more forgiving compared to 205g0 since it's less viscosity

[untold wigeon]

Silicone o rings yes

[fluid ravine]

lube-krytox 205g0 and 105
tape mod- masking tape
burger mount- oring

[untold wigeon]

On Amazon

[fluid ravine]

me over here...

hey man dont call me out

hehe

[untold wigeon]

You’re what I had in mind lol

[silent olive]

You guys are super helpful thanks

[fluid ravine]

ARGH

[silent olive]

I got the wooting lube already is that ok?

[fluid ravine]

np

[autumn pike]

Any films compatible for the lekker switch? I tried Deskeys and TX films they don't fit

[silent olive]

I’m not familiar with tape mod I’ll have to check that out

[fluid ravine]

its easy :)

[untold wigeon]

Extremely easy

Plus, rebalancing your stab wires, and dielectric greas

[fluid ravine]

totally didnt try like multiple things with it

[untold wigeon]

As far as I’d go with stabs, no need for an Epsi or Holee mod

[silent olive]

For the lube I just got the wooting tool kit + lube, is that ok?

[untold wigeon]

Absolutely

[fluid ravine]

WWWWWW

w

w

[silent olive]

[untold wigeon]

Buy some dielectric grease

Cheap on Amazon as well

[silent olive]

This fps boost from my keyboard gonna go crazy

[untold wigeon]

Lolll

[silent olive]

Fr?

[untold wigeon]

For some reason I get better with a cleaner setup lol

[fluid ravine]

HAHA

i like this guy

[untold wigeon]

Yeah it’s like 5 bucks

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[untold wigeon]

Don’t need anything large

I get by with a super small ¿bottle?

[silent olive]

What’s it do

[untold wigeon]

Tube?

[silent olive]

The grease

[untold wigeon]

Minimizes rattle

[silent olive]

Hmm

[untold wigeon]

When it contacts the actual stab

[fluid ravine]

prob the clunkiest sound from the wooting 60he

and feel

[silent olive]

Can I get links for the grease, o rings, and tape?

Amazon if possible I’m ordering rn

[fluid ravine]

you can get the grease off shelf

[untold wigeon]

Anything is possible

[tall hollow]

Indeed

Also is that a Logitech mousepad?

[untold wigeon]

I’ve had these pictures saved in my phone for the longest time

[tall hollow]

Lmao

[autumn pike]

Having tried 205g0 and dielectric I think XHT-BDZ is the best for stabs it's cleaner and you rarely need to relube

[untold wigeon]

@wraith ice keyboard on the left

Mine on the right

[fluid ravine]

tru

[silent olive]

Anyone ever try metal key caps?

Are they dumb?

[untold wigeon]

Lots

Ceramic keycaps as well

[tall hollow]

I have, they’re not dumb, they feel really nice

Just woefully expensive

[silent olive]

What thickness masking tape y’all get for tape mod

[tall hollow]

Because it takes alot of effort to machine such geometries

[tall hollow]

Scotch blue

[autumn pike]

just normal painter's tape and i usually do 2-3 layers of tape

[autumn pike]

I use this one https://www.amazon.com/ScotchBlue-Original-Multi-Surface-Painters-inches/dp/B00004Z4DU

[tall hollow]

Also it’s what I have lol

[mental hemlock]

I use scotch blue as well

[silent olive]

Some thick ass tape

[tall hollow]

Don’t really use anything else other than scotch blue

[silent olive]

Thick boy

[mental hemlock]

although you can get by with really any masking tape

[tall hollow]

This

[silent olive]

uxcell Silicone O-Rings, 4mm OD 1mm ID 1.5mm Width VMQ Seal Gasket for Compressor Valves Pipe Repair, White, Pack of 30 https://a.co/d/2WIOANN

These good?

[tall hollow]

They’re fine yeah

[fluid ravine]

ye

[tall hollow]

I use them as well

[silent olive]

And last thing is dielectric grease

And ofc the keyboard case

[tall hollow]

Just a small tube will do the trick

[mental hemlock]

super small tuve

i can send you links for what I used

[tall hollow]

Unless you plan on using it on your car as well lmao.

[fluid ravine]

nah average :_)

[mental hemlock]

Haha my dad destroys the big bottles

[autumn pike]

my only issue with my wooting is the switches the wobble bothers me so much lol

[tall hollow]

I just have a huge tube of dielectric grease for automotive stuff

[mental hemlock]

leaving me to have to buy some on amazon lol,

[autumn pike]

but idk which films works for it

[mental hemlock]

what car do you have?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BDRRBZ7R?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AL2RI2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[silent olive]

This + case. I already have lube.

Missing anything to do tape mod, burger mount, and lubing?

[tall hollow]

For now it’s my dads old Honda Civic, but recently put a down payment on a Tesla.

[mental hemlock]

nice bro

I used to shit on Teslas but Im really interested in how they drive

and how efficient they are

although in florida i know they get loud

[tall hollow]

I’ve test driven one, they drive really differently from a gas car.

[mental hemlock]

How so?

[tall hollow]

Specifically the gas pedal

[mental hemlock]

I heard the brakes feel weird

yeah it slows you down right?

[silent olive]

It ain’t that bad

[autumn pike]

cali is so flooded with tesla lol

specially in irvine, CA

where most of the population are asians

[silent olive]

You can’t really tell how loud it is when you’re inside

[tall hollow]

So basically, with the gas pedal you hold it at a certain position and it will hold that speed when you hold the pedal at that position, and when you release it it comes to a stop rather than cruise along

[silent olive]

As long as you have a garage in Florida it’s nice

[tall hollow]

Obviously you can change the gas pedal behavior to mimic an actual gas car lol.

Because Tesla thought about that

[tall hollow]

I am Asian lmao

And yes there are a lot of Asian people in CA

[untold wigeon]

Talk to me when an electric can do this

[untold wigeon]

That’s so strange

[tall hollow]

It is lmao

[silent olive]

It’s like a golf cart it ain’t that weird

NOOOOOO ONE MONTH WAIT TIME

[tall hollow]

Teslas have some pep to it, you can feel it push you back in your seat when you really push on the gas.

[untold wigeon]

Not like this^^^

[silent olive]

What other red aluminum cases did y’all recommend? Sorry for so many questions

[tall hollow]

No yeah, Teslas deliver instant torque.

Rather than a gradual one

[untold wigeon]

Supercharger-esque?

[autumn pike]

getting a little off topic here lol

[untold wigeon]

PSD60, Tofu60

[silent olive]

I drive a Tesla now. I used to drive a IS350 f sport and that car was slower but twice as fun

[tall hollow]

Yeah lol

[untold wigeon]

At least these mods aren’t like the ones in SFFGurus

They banned me because of those videos I sent lol

In their OFF TOPIC channel

“Any further transgressions will get you banned”

[silent olive]

Is the tofu 2.0 ok?

[untold wigeon]

No

Tofu Redux

[silent olive]

[untold wigeon]

2.0 has a centered usb cutout and it’s a different mount

To promote their sh*tty new PCB

[silent olive]

Wow it’s much cheaper

$60!

But it’s also not shipping to September mannnnnn wtf

[untold wigeon]

I’d get it with the brass cutout

[silent olive]

The burgundy is nice too but I wanted a red and black to match my desk and hien mousepad

[untold wigeon]

Show us the setup

[tall hollow]

Fellow Artisan mousepad enjoyer

[silent olive]

I ain’t got nicely lit photos I just took this lol

[fluid ravine]

oo i like the second deck thing

[silent olive]

Yea it gives nice utility

Here is me during work

[mental hemlock]

AT2020 chad?

[shadow mantle]

Anyone know of any clean aluminum cases? Considering the tofu 1.0 is sold out

[fluid ravine]

hear a difference?

[silent olive]

Huh

[untold wigeon]

What mic is that

[silent olive]

Also thank you @red cloak @untold wigeon for being so helpful today

[silent olive]

Sudotak or something. Cheap Amazon mic

[untold wigeon]

Of course

Anytime

[silent olive]

Getting the klippe t bc It’s the only one that offers actual red

[wraith ice]

I’m trying to bring out my inner you @mental hemlock

[fluid ravine]

@near barn

1rst part tape switch mod
2nd part film

[untold wigeon]

Holy fucking shit Plipps

[untold wigeon]

What did you just do

[wraith ice]

Dropped my wooting into my blade60 and went all black keycaps. You have inspired me. DEFINITELY doesn’t look as good as it doesn’t blacked out in the Tofu, but it works

[untold wigeon]

Bro chill

The 5 degree has grown on me

[stray tiger]

No cap I like the 5 degree cases

[fluid ravine]

🧢

[fluid ravine]

oh wth i missed that

[untold wigeon]

It’s unique

[fluid ravine]

i was literally look for the f image yet it was infront of me

man my blind ass

[untold wigeon]

You have glasses bro lol

Come on TenZ

[fluid ravine]

💀

havent gone to eye doc

been a year or two i think

[wraith ice]

Lol, don’t stress. I just had my first eye appointment this week! 😂

[untold wigeon]

Time to play

[wraith ice]

Dude you take some shots! Your photos are beautiful

[untold wigeon]

Lmfao chill thank you

I try to; have a lot to learn

[mental hemlock]

I actually want to play Apex Legends now lol

R6S has been making my aim better i think lol

[mental hemlock]

Also Plipps, sorry I haven't been speaking much lol. I've been enjoying this keyboard so much I don't even have anything to say

I've literally slept at 6am everyday because I'm just playing all the time

[wraith ice]

Seriously that’s all I needed to hear. Just happy you’re happy!

[polar girder]

5 degree sounds nice

Beautiful kb

[untold wigeon]

No letter keycaps

Make me wanna kill myself

The h and the j spot always a struggle

[patent cradle]

There are bumps on F and J...how is H and J a struggle...?

[loud zephyr]

Blanks just look so sexy though. I'd love for the the Alu 60HE to have bezel thickness similar to the RS60. I think it frames the keycaps nicer in comparison to thin bezels imo

[untold wigeon]

Idk my brain just can't function

[polar girder]

Yeah I need my legends

[loud zephyr]

[untold wigeon]

Blank keycap supremacy

[brittle silo]

Your black aestethic desk looks nice bro

[fluid ravine]

bow down to zeh king

[mental hemlock]

thank you bro

I'm gonna get the Idasen standing desk one day

[brittle silo]

[mental hemlock]

I don't want to be sitting down all day lol

[mental hemlock]

@loud zephyr

[deep coyote]

i swapped to a custom POM plate from smkeyboards

when i set it to max rapid trigger settings it can sometimes spam a key

but in actual gameplay where i just have wasd with rapid trigger i haven't had issues

[coral gorge]

Did you use the stand-off kit that he recommends for the plate??

[deep coyote]

yes

[coral gorge]

Were u able to used both the screws?

[deep coyote]

wdym

the standoffs are all on

i have the freebird 60 case which doesan't have the middle 2 standoffs on the case which might make the difference

[coral gorge]

Like I couldn’t use the flat head screws, they don’t fit

[deep coyote]

oh

i used the the screws meant for the pcb side on the plate

and used the screws that came with the wooting on the bottom

[coral gorge]

So u didn’t use the flat heads screws?

[deep coyote]

yeah i didn't use the angled one

[loud zephyr]

Hello darkness with Gateron oil kings I presume, those switches have very good factory lubing and nice to type on. I'm looking forward to going opposite to yours with Redux E-white and blank beige

[untold wigeon]

Damn I would love to see it

I had all white originally but i grew out of it

[iron bear]

Does anyone have sound tests with different plates in the 60HE? 😀

[obsidian dagger]

i dont think anybody has it yet

[silent olive]

This is how I want mine to look

[tall hollow]

I think @stray tiger has some

[loud zephyr]

Red and black always work well together. If only I could find those Cherry OG POM keycaps though, the imperfections look kinda cool

[silent olive]

I’m keeping the stock key and for now besides wasd I wanna find red ones

What case it that @loud zephyr ?

[loud zephyr]

Bisoromi RS60

[loud zephyr]

Here's a small sample of SMKeys POM plate they're selling: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CnzRqwiI45b/

[iron bear]

Could potentially try to get an Aluminium plate made for the ISO version to test things out, was thinking of a Carbon fiber at first but like the Thocky sound so PC or POM would probably be better 🤔

[loud zephyr]

I would definitely try out pc or pom first and see if you can take out the metallic sound.

[iron bear]

Yeah but would need to try to find some ISO version of it somewhere in EU then, Keebcats could be an option once one would be able to order some custom plates

[tiny lion]

I have a final question wich cable can someone recommend me for the wooting without problems I have read the Someone custom cable make Problem for a wooting are this cable good ?

Glorious PC Gaming Race Coiled Cable Phantom Black, USB-C auf USB-A Spiralkabel, USB C Kabel Spiralkabel, Coiled Cable Keyboard mit Aviator Plug, 1,37 Meters, Ordentlich USB C Spiralkabel, schwarz https://amzn.eu/d/e8scT3k

[silent olive]

is the wooting dampening foam easy to take out and re use?

[versed pivot]

Yes

Its not glued in or anything

[silent olive]

so i shouldnt need to buy anything if i plan to use a klippe t then?

for foam

[versed pivot]

If you like the sound, there is no reason to switch, no

You maybe have to separate the two foam pieces, but that is doable as i heard

[brave wave]

hehehe

[bronze grove]

https://tenor.com/view/bart-simpson-simpsons-dancing-swaying-gif-17949736

[silent olive]

seeing so many setups im starting to want just straght black keycaps man

[polar girder]

They look the nicest IMO

super slick

[fringe quarry]

is there any case that significantly lowers the height?

[stray tiger]

There are some low profile cases out there on AliExpress and the upcoming aluminum case will be able to sit at 4 degrees with the smaller feet

[fringe quarry]

will the wooting also be lower in the front?

[polar girder]

Whoa Wooting alu will be able to sit at 4 degrees?

Niceeee

[untold wigeon]

Niceu

#🪛│modding_faq message

[simple oxide]

I received my wooting 2he earlier this week and was planning to do the burger mod. I noticed when removing the screws only the single top plate with the switches fell out.
So I was wondering if anyone has experience with modding the 2he version and would be so kind to help me out.

[stray tiger]

This is for all wooting keyboards

[bronze grove]

It was moved over from the 60He channel. 😄

[stray tiger]

ohh haha

[austere creek]

im unsure how youd burger mount the 2he as you cant really mound the topplate in that way

[simple oxide]

Yeah I straight up overlooked the modding channel😂

[simple oxide]

😦

[fluid ravine]

Gm!

[polar girder]

Nice ty. Those plate dampening pads (in the module) are interesting

[mental hemlock]

Thank you.

[untold wigeon]

What’s a good cable that looks nice not the coiled ones but the other one

[marble shuttle]

Straight pro cables

Like this

[untold wigeon]

Is there a decent website for this? That’s reliable

[normal schooner]

https://keebstuff.com/ is also good

[untold wigeon]

These don’t ship to the us tho right ?

[marble shuttle]

@untold wigeon Cablemod , you can configure your own cable

But my cable isnt from there just dude in my country did it

Also cable mod from usa i guess its really good option for shipping if the price is okay for you

[obsidian dagger]

prolly not

[fluid ravine]

ughh why cant i send VIDS

EERMM

[bronze grove]

You did though?

[fluid ravine]

like it just turns into a file

[polar girder]

damn that sounds good. nice

you like those keycaps?

[fluid ravine]

ye

[fluid ravine]

first bought akkko ASA clear keycaps setc they werent good for gaming as they became glossy and slippery overtime and i really was needing a keycap set that set is like a cherry profile and off the shelf so i went to best buy and bought some glorious gbpt i even let my mom chose the color

now im thinking on what if i swap into pc plates

would it even thocc even more?!?!

[spark trail]

hey sorry if this has been answered before but I have a wooting one keyboard and i was wondering if the new L60/L45 switches would be compatible

[obsidian dagger]

no

wooting one is optical, the he ones are magnetic

[marble shuttle]

🤣 bruh

[spark trail]

gotcha, i read that it wasnt before when they sold switches before so i was just making sure

[mental hemlock]

chill

[marble shuttle]

@mental hemlock 🙀

[crude kelp]

Yo someone know some good case for ~50$

[bronze grove]

2x70

You're buying switches though, not just springs.

We're working on a variety spring pack, coming "soon"

Time will tell I suppose.

[long moat]

hey everyone. can someone explain or share a link to understand the difference between tempest mod and switch tape mod?

[long moat]

i'm talking about this actually. searching online shows the same thing for both

[brazen raven]

The best way to clean keycaps is lukewarm water and soap right ?

[brazen raven]

ah grand cus I got a lovely set and I definitely dont want to ruin them at all

[stark kelp]

Anyone got a good recommendation for stabilizers?

[shadow mantle]

What's the next best simple case since the tofu is impossible to find?

Would it be the Poseidon 60?

[long moat]

hey @fluid ravine maybe you can help me understand the difference. 🙂

[bronze grove]

The ones already on the board.

[stark kelp]

Sorry I meant it like in general? My friend is interested in doing a mechanical build and I'm helping him out with it

Ok so there's nothing about the switch tape mod online but I believe this was found by @shell geode and @delicate tartan
I just came along to do it only because I knew it should remove the upstroke plastic sound which i hate the most out of the lekker switches.
So technically the tempest mod is suppose to be layers of tape under the PCB which suppose to make the board poppy, but sadly it doesn't really work with the wooting because of its steel plate. (Well it works only if you don't use burger or tray mount)
Now the switch tape mod, like I said earlier this mod was technically made for the lekker switches only to remove or reduce the plastic upstroke sound that is being produce from the stem hitting top housing (Which is one of the reason its making that chattering noise) and reduces stem wobble.
So to perform this mod all you need is a strip of medical or masking tape that would fit the stem slider part of the internal and external top housing like the image shown below (Credits to GewaltofRiwa); the more layers you use, the more of the upstroke sound reduce (Maximum layers of medical tape: 3, Maximum layers of masking tape: 1). Then fold the tape over to in the internal and press it down for a secure stick. If using masking tape I recommend putting a little bit of lube on it as it will feel scratchy, but the tape i recommend is using medical tape as it has a soft porous feel and it can absorb the plastic to plastic clack. (Warning This can take the same amount of time it takes to lube switches;4-7 hours)

Oh boy it took me 17 mins

I hope you understand :]

[long moat]

oh wow dude you rock! thanks a lot for detailed explanation. it's all clear now!

sorry i was away for a while and couldn't respond

[fluid ravine]

u gud

[lucid flower]

I’m new to keyboard mod . Opened up the wooting to see if I can swap the switches. Pretty good guides. Is stain on pcb board normal?

[long moat]

is that lube, can you tell?

[marble shuttle]

How many times should i drop oil for 75 spring (gpl105 bag lubing)

[lucid flower]

I don’t know. Can’t tell. I dint lube the switches. Just dissembled stock … to see if it was difficult

[long moat]

i see. i asked that because it could be factory lube spilled over

[fluid ravine]

its prob the lube
i can tell from the imprints of the switch (i see it on my switch pads)

[fluid ravine]

6-12 drops

[marble shuttle]

@fluid ravine i did 12 drops for 60 spring

[long moat]

yeah in that case it shouldn't be a problem. you can safely wipe it off with isopropyl alcohol and a piece of cloth or cotton pad etc

[fluid ravine]

well then do 14?

[lucid flower]

Is it ok to leave it as is? Will it harm the board?

[bronze grove]

Just wipe it off with some tissue paper quickly.

Done deal.

[fluid ravine]

quick question how do i get roles :v

actually nvm

srry for the ping

[bronze grove]

[harsh jewel]

is there any case that fits the wooting that is hhkb layout

[bronze grove]

The PCB wouldn't fit. Not sure how you imagine HHKB and the 60HE would work?

It literally blocks several keys.

[harsh jewel]

only the ctrl i think

[shell geode]

Pretty cool you're trying this out! How do you like it so far?

[fluid ravine]

amazing fixed most of my problems
beside the case thing and money
but W

and wasted money on films

but whatever

[fluid ravine]

Gasket mount wasnt a regret
even if people say it wont work i think it was worth it
balanced out the sound profile :) and i can now take advantage on the tempest mod

it also helped my spacebar sound amzin

or solid actually

[twin citrus]

yo guys what’s the point in lubing switches if it’s already prelubed with 205g0 just curious

[bronze grove]

The amount and thoroughness.

Factory lube is a quick dab with a machine.

[twin citrus]

alright ty

[wispy wharf]

i am nervous to grease my stabs but i got my kit in

[wispy wharf]

same for the stabilizers?

[modern pulsar]

the usb c hole on my case is too small for my cable to connect fully. is there any way i can drill the case hole to be any bigger?

[bronze grove]

A metal file or a dremel is usually the approach. Though I would read up first.

Kind of hard to undo damage.

[lucid flower]

If I order the new switches they ship right away?

[bronze grove]

If the website says they're in stock, yes.

[true kraken]

I’m just about to receive my first wooting keyboard, and I was looking at getting some custom key caps for it, is there a specific type of key cap I need to look for, or will any old key cap from Amazon work?

[lucid flower]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[obsidian dagger]

as long as its mx stem it works, which is almost all of them

[true kraken]

Awesome thanks for all the help! Makes a lot more sense then it did before! Anyone have any recommendations on where to get some cool key caps from?

Also I’ve heard of people changing their chassis on their wooting; is it a notable mod to make? I’ve heard the stock chassis can feel cheap sometimes

[obsidian dagger]

what layout are you looking for?

[true kraken]

Layout? QWERTY - I’ve got a 60% and I was looking for some cherry profile doubleshot pbt keycaps, but I’ve been trying to find some unique designs other than just colored keys, like I’ve seen some sick topographic key caps but most are white and I feel like it would look gross after a month without consisten cleaning

[obsidian dagger]

hmm

drop.com, divinikey.com and kbdfans.com you can check

[mental hemlock]

amazon, gmk

[obsidian dagger]

if you want unusual keycaps, you could use something like deadline studios doys

but most designs are just color obv

[true kraken]

Ok ok ty for the sites. I spent hours on Amazon earlier and found 1-2 options that were meh what I was looking for, but I’ll def check those other sites!

Do white key caps tend to get nasty lookin over time?

[obsidian dagger]

i dont think so, the plastic isnt really absorbant

if you touch it with dorito grease everyday maybe

plus, you can just take them off and soak them in soap

oh mechanicalkeyboards.com has a ton of keycaps too

bought mine there actually

[true kraken]

I’ll check em out as well, would you recommend changing the chassis as well for the wooting?

[obsidian dagger]

i have a 2he, so no clue on that.

[true kraken]

Ok thanks for the suggestions! Found a ton more of cool options in considering now, realized the key caps I like are called novelties

[mental hemlock]

I would

[lost terrace]

I don't know if this falls under keyboard modding, but:
I'm trying to spraypaint the keycaps from white (bought a separate set) to a "beige" tone, reminiscent of old computer keyboards.
I want to retain the lettering printed on the keycaps, without ruining them.

What would be the best way to go about it? Would I need to cut out painter's tape adjusted to the lettering, or is there a simpler method?

[bronze grove]

You don't. Very simple.

Even if you somehow manage to perfectly fit out the lettering with masking tape (you won't), the paint will wear off very quickly from daily use.

You'll want to buy a new set of keycaps

[lost terrace]

FUCK!!!

I'll just go with the white keycaps unmodified, then.

Wait, how are the keycaps painted from the factory then?

[mental hemlock]

injection molds

[bronze grove]

Mhmm. Depending on the keycaps, one of several methods are used.

Ranging from using two different material mixtures, one after the other in the mold, to lasering off the lettering from the paint.

[lost terrace]

Lasering off the letteri-

Yeah no I'm poor I'll just spraypaint the setup a fresh white

Shoot I'd have to make the keyboard itself white so it doesn't have an odd black and white to it

[bronze grove]

This is what will happen, if you buy/make keycaps that use paint on the surface.

[lost terrace]

Got it, thank you Mr. Duck Man. 👍

[wispy wharf]

Need help

Space bar clicking one side after greased stabilizer

What did I do

Apparently the answer was Moar grees

[ruby berry]

There’s a way, you can print out the colour you want onto dye sublimation paper and heat press it onto the keycaps. It will be permanent and keep lettering as long as it’s darker than the colour you are transferring

[ruby berry]

Actually sorry there’s an even easier way just dye the keycaps in black tea or coffee

[fluid ravine]

If the lube is seperate then ye mix it

[torpid crow]

can you use switch pads on the lekker switches?

[fluid ravine]

Switch pads are suppose to go on the pcb

But a switch tripod goes on the switch

[torpid crow]

i mean moreso

if you use standard switch pads

will they cause issues with the wooting pcb/lekker switches performance

[fluid ravine]

Depending on the thickness

0.5mm should be fine

[untold wigeon]

i plan on tape modding is there any part i should not cover?

not my wooting but still wanna mod anyway lo

ik i cant cover the usb port

[sacred jay]

all shoule be fine

as long as you dont cover anything too much

wooting makes heats snd you should not cover its dissipation

[terse radish]

is it worth to buy a better case for a normal dude?

[fluid ravine]

what keeb

ig like tape it and poke holes for the screws

[fluid ravine]

ye

[untold wigeon]

STEELSERIES APEX 9 MINI

[fluid ravine]

ok ye
poke holes for the screws when you apply the tape

[mental hemlock]

I'm so fucking scared.

[fluid ravine]

BAHAHA

oh shi
im thinking about it now ;-;

[untold wigeon]

wut

[fluid ravine]

nuthin

[untold wigeon]

o

i wanna build myself a custom

[fluid ravine]

nurd

[untold wigeon]

eh

it seems cool

[fluid ravine]

man im treating this channel as general

not even gonna look at the actually general 💀

[untold wigeon]

idc i have money

it's not an issue for me

so i'm gonna do it

i mean i'm not a kb builder obviously so i'm gonna build a hot swap barebones kit

like it'll be my first custom

i don't know yet

i don't know anything yet honestly lmao

[fluid ravine]

my wooting sound thoppy

[brave wave]

Has anyone converted the wooting to a gasket mount?

[untold wigeon]

@untold wigeon good morning

[untold wigeon]

Good morning bro

[obsidian dagger]

get in the wooting shinji

[normal schooner]

fjell is 60% ?

[untold wigeon]

yea ://

[normal schooner]

ooh now i understand its about the keycaps

[nova ruin]

Can i hotswap my wooting two he into another chassis? Have never done it before so i dont quite understand how it works

[bronze grove]

No.

There is no common standard for full-sized keyboards, like we have with the 60HE. You'd have to custom make a case or adapt one with tools and luck.

[nova ruin]

i see

[bronze grove]

I what now

[polar girder]

Yeah dude. Only channel I engage with hehe

Nice list. Thank you.

Seems like non of the “nice” keycaps have shine through

I usually game in dark room and need my bright shiny legends

Probably just stick with stock for that reason

Plus the stock keycaps seems reasonably thick. Not sure I would get a better sound on other PBT keycaps…

[dusk mauve]

Almost finished the Frog-ooting..

[normal schooner]

that looks likes mansen his board

[loud zephyr]

There's always one caveat with secondhand GMK's and that's how much it's been used. The shinyness is kinda fugly imo

[bronze grove]

Or buying unofficial reproductions via Ali 😄

[loud zephyr]

If Beige is your jam JC Studio is pretty good, not sure if they've made other colourways just yet: https://geon.works/products/jc-studio-pbt-dye-sub-keycaps?variant=43442867503267

[obsidian dagger]

shinethrough isnt very conductive to designs and such, so thats rare. makes no sense to design a fancy colorway that gets the rgb rainbow treatment

[bronze grove]

It's also more complex and expensive to make.

[stray tiger]

As he mentioned you need thinner lube such as 105 instead of 205. You can apply 205 to each spring with a brush but its too thick to shake around in a bag evenly.

Well brushing it on each spring would guarantee that each spring is lubed properly and not over/underlubed. Bag lubing is quicker but not as consistent. If you demand the best, brush it on each spring. If you want the fast approach, throw them in a bag with a thinner lube and shake it up.

Ive done both and have been happy with both ways. Choice is yours, Im simply telling you the pros/cons

[marble shuttle]

Just do bag lube its more eaiser and you gaining a lot of time

[bronze grove]

Bag lubing is chaotic, inconsistent and so damn messy. You're lubing the switch housing with a brush anyway, what's another controlled brush stroke or two 😄

[stray tiger]

Yeah what he said

[bronze grove]

Caveat: This is my personal opinion. Don't let me police what you prefer. 🙂

[stray tiger]

The best part is when the springs in the bag get tangled together and you spend more time separating them than what you saved just brushing a little on during the rest of the process.

[bronze grove]

Hah yes. I remember trying to get the spring bag sorted.

[fluid ravine]

Gooodmorningg

[patent cradle]

60he, L45, and lube set out for delivery right now. 3d printed switch films done. Tonight is going to be a good night 🙂

[stray tiger]

Find something you want to watch and binge it while you're lubing lol. Also, I suggest testing a few keys with films before you do them all

[patent cradle]

Honestly I never thought of testing...now that you mention it, seems like common sense. Thanks! Will 100% do 5-6 to test out.

[fluid ravine]

You really should 👀

Wasted my time and money on films 😂

[tardy cove]

Just to play devil's advocate and FWIW I always liked bag lube more. Completely my opinion but I always felt like the thinner lube used for bag lubing had better kinetic friction and covered the spring better with use. I always felt like when I donut dipped or brushed the springs I could feel it in the bottom out. Haha could always be a placebo or just my imagination but that was my preference

[bronze grove]

Can't comment on consistency. I've only used 205 personally, and it feels great.

[tardy cove]

Ah could always be my issue as well I always preferred tribosys 3203 thinner than 205 I think if I remember right

I used them with tactile switches because they didn't lose as much of the bump and ended up using it for most things because I enjoyed the feel of 3203

[bronze grove]

I'll definitely have to try out something thinner, once I have a module to try things out on.

[tardy cove]

Tribosys 3203 and 3204 are both a little thinner than 205g0. I always liked 3203 but 3204 is kinda in-between 205 and 3203 for me anyway. I always thought 3204 was a little more forgiving as well. But again could always just be my imagination haha

[fluid ravine]

me over here puts all the springs in the bowl and just put 205g0 and make a mess with it
(doing it cause i lubed it with 2 types of lube already
and hell the springs in lekker switches need some help)

[grizzled path]

just use coconut oil

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[abstract kernel]

half of these are over the $100 even tho bro asked for 50-60 max.

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[silent olive]

My Klippe t comes Thursday

[fluid ravine]

😗

[loud zephyr]

All good, all good. You have a lot of choices when it comes to keycaps anyways; almost too many in fact

[loud zephyr]

A small plastic container is the best way to go, plastic bags are baaaad lol. And to separate the springs just re-shake the container, then use a tweezer to pickup the spring.

My favorite combo for the Zooted. And hot damn WKL's look dope

[obsidian dagger]

enlighten me what wkl adds over normal

[loud zephyr]

Absolutely nothing other than visual preference, for me at least

[obsidian dagger]

well then

isee

[stray tiger]

I also like the WKL look and even HHKB at times, but I use my win keys daily and Im too old to remap them at this point lol

[mental hemlock]

why does it leave a 1U sized keycap hole though

[loud zephyr]

It's a 7u spacebar and the FN key is a split right shift

[stray tiger]

Thats the typical 7u layout. What he said

[loud zephyr]

Just remap the winkey to right-ALT. Done and dusted - party time!

[mental hemlock]

we're dumb lol

[loud zephyr]

Pretty much any button combo will do

[mental hemlock]

lmfao

[stray tiger]

lol it happens

[mental hemlock]

I might do that when I get a MJ64 PCB

[loud zephyr]

For sure give it a go, you're bound to find a more convenient way to organize your function layout

[mental hemlock]

lots of keys to play with

[stray tiger]

I have a board with a similar layout but with a full size right shift

[mental hemlock]

so a 65?

[stray tiger]

Negative. Let me take a picture

[mental hemlock]

awesome

[loud zephyr]

Default layout for the Wooting is fine for me, it's only my other 60% WKL that I've had to tweak

[mental hemlock]

For some reason I like the look of this layout

definitely not a full size right shift lol

thats a 1.75 u i believe

also no / or ?

[stray tiger]

Well standard size with arrow keys on a 60%/65%. Not full size right

[mental hemlock]

nvm i see it ther e

[mental hemlock]

with the MJ64 you get an extra key anyway

[stray tiger]

I keep that one around in case I need dedicates arrow keys

[mental hemlock]

and you can remap right shift as well

I like being able to have all the convenient keys

[loud zephyr]

Oh you're right. I'm blind as a bat, it's 6:45am here in Aus lol. So tha't the PCB you're buying, I think that layout looks quite good

[mental hemlock]

haha

thank you i think it does as well

[mental hemlock]

this looks sick btw

[loud zephyr]

Mousepad reminds me Keith Haring

[mental hemlock]

Im gonna try to make that caps lock key fit on my keyboard again

[stray tiger]

Thanks, horrible photo but its a special edition klippeT in soilid brass (I think only 20 made). Weighs like 8lbs. Keycaps are GMK Nines

[mental hemlock]

for some reason it didnt want to

[mental hemlock]

no way

I would get that thing cerakoted or whatever

you have a grail

[loud zephyr]

Keyboard photography is so hard, especially with my iPhone Mini. Skill issue certainly doesn't help

[mental hemlock]

just get some good lighting

[mental hemlock]

6 am is good for the sunrise lighting

what a nice freaking board bro

[stray tiger]

Then it wouldnt be in original condition 😉

[loud zephyr]

True. Here's a keyboard gallery to dive into, dude is a wizard https://markerchun.com/work

[mental hemlock]

Definitely will get that one day

[mental hemlock]

color grades putting in some work

[stray tiger]

I used to do photography for watches so I understand the challenge for something like a keyboard

[untold wigeon]

Enter the Void

[untold wigeon]

What company’s

[stray tiger]

Just my own collection of watches. let me see if I can find some photos

[untold wigeon]

Awesome

[loud zephyr]

That is a nice collection. I'm lowkey glad I'm not down the Watch rabbithole. Going broke in 2023 would be a disaster lol

[stray tiger]

Thats like a 1/3rd of the collection and good idea staying away lol

[loud zephyr]

😂

[normal schooner]

65%

omggg

I got scammed

discord messages now loaded

[loud zephyr]

Very nice and good use of props too

[polar girder]

Fk me that’s hot

Wow

[sterile ivy]

does anyone have a problem when you tap your key it makes the key click and instantly unclick?

rapid trigger btw

it double clicks with one keystroke.

[normal schooner]

thats the purpose of rt just turn the sensitivity down

[sterile ivy]

no i mean like

when i press down once

even while im

typing very lightly

it double, triple, even quadruples the input

[normal schooner]

maybe you have some keybinds?

try turning sensitivity down

[sterile ivy]

ii think its justtt from my mod

[normal schooner]

ah

[sterile ivy]

which is why i posted it in here instead of support

[normal schooner]

well support is better to get help

[sterile ivy]

this is me typing a completely noormal sentence with no rrepeats

i suppose soo but they cant rreally find anything to help if it wass witth a mod

i was just seeing if others related to this and if it wwas noot justtt me

this is me typing a normal sentence aaafaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa\

WHAYT

after mme trying aa sssolultion

i thinkk it made it worssse

LOL

[polar girder]

Bruh

Sorry for your loss

What mod you do? Yeah I never have problem with mine

[sterile ivy]

brutal60]

i triied to put the wwwwooting in it but its not compaaaaaaa

WHATTTT

LLMAAOOO

its noot compattttttible

oooobviously

oh my god

why is it getting worse

[fluid ravine]

@sterile ivy what mods have u done

[sterile ivy]

wootingg iin brrrutal60

[fluid ravine]

thats it?

[sterile ivy]

and ttappe tto fasten it

[fluid ravine]

so you have not mess with the pcb, switches, or like anything but tape and case swap

[sterile ivy]

correct

[fluid ravine]

ok give me moment

[sterile ivy]

and its been fine tiiiill about 3 days ago

had ittttttt for 2 moonthsa

[fluid ravine]

its most likely the rapid trigger

upstroke probably set too low

[sterile ivy]

i have it on .5 and .3

[fluid ravine]

the hell

[sterile ivy]

had these settings for 222 mmonths and ittts been fine

typing and all

[fluid ravine]

prob do a factory reset

to the board

[sterile ivy]

how doo i do that

[fluid ravine]

its in settings

[sterile ivy]

done

[fluid ravine]

ok now like type a few sentence

[sterile ivy]

this is a new typing test after i reset my wooting keyboard

this is also with the lowest allowed rapid trigger settings

which is 0.1 and 0.15mm

wow this seems a lot better than it was before

LMAOOO

[fluid ravine]

LMao

https://tenor.com/view/wheeze-wheeze-meme-laugh-laughing-gif-21074028

ez

well
you should have 2 different profile set up

[sterile ivy]

wait i am not sure if that actually fixed it i think i needed to re enable the rapid trigger

[fluid ravine]

one for typing and one for gaming

[sterile ivy]

okaay yeaaah nevermind]\

the problem is that i play osu

which has hold notes

[fluid ravine]

what keys do you need to bind rapid trigger for

[sterile ivy]

and when i holld down the hhold notes it automatically releaases which is not good

asl;

is what i need it for but it seems likee thats still reallly bad

[fluid ravine]

then set the rapid trigger to thos specific keys

[sterile ivy]

okay

[fluid ravine]

and have it on the rapid profile

[sterile ivy]

i want to do that but it still messes them up unfortunately

i mean it doesnt seem as bad but

llet me try playing a song

[fluid ravine]

wdym by them

[sterile ivy]

the keys

[fluid ravine]

like all the keys?

[sterile ivy]

they still double press

[fluid ravine]

continuous rapid trigger?

is that on?

[sterile ivy]

heree ii will press each one twice

no

aass

aass

lll;;;

lll;;

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[sterile ivy]

not goood

[fluid ravine]

what's the sensi

[sterile ivy]

i think i need to just re faasten it

[fluid ravine]

just change the upstroke sens

cause i just put it to the lowest and i had the same problem for a moment

[sterile ivy]

its at 0.3

is that really too low

[fluid ravine]

mines at downstroke .15
upstroke .6mm

[fluid ravine]

no

try like .5

if its still happening

[sterile ivy]

the big thing about osu is that u want to be able to move ur fingers really low and still hit the notes

[fluid ravine]

im trying to proccess that

and it seems like i cant lmao

[sterile ivy]

yeah it stilllllll has the problem lmfao

its fine

ill talk to my buddy ab it see if we can try a diff case

[fluid ravine]

kk

[sterile ivy]

ty for your help

jkgvjdsjkdsfjufdg

\

\

\

WTF

sorruy

sorruy

\

why does it do that when i press backspace

[stray tiger]

Not the answer you want to hear but some people have reported issues with tape mod causing this exact problem. Same with other easy mods like burger mount.

The test is to take the PCB out of the case, lay it on your desk and plug it in. See if the problem still happens. If yes, take the tape off and try again

[stray tiger]

Thanks!

[hybrid knoll]

I was wondering if there were any resources on how to drive the keyboard switches for a custom pcb. I can't seem to find anything, and I was wondering if its any different than driving a cherry switch?

[stray tiger]

Yes its different and you will not be able to manufacture a PCB to work with these switches

[hybrid knoll]

Ah okay, no worries, thanks for the info

[polar girder]

that's nutty

oh dang that tented ergo case is still in the works

[mental hemlock]

feel like discord messes up image resolution, anyone on a 1440p or higher monitor that can tell me how it looks?

[fluid ravine]

Anybody know what screw the working pcb use?
I lost one
Been a few months haha

[gentle silo]

M2 5mm I think. It’s definitely m2 but not 100% on the 5mm

[patent cradle]

It has been completed.

[mental hemlock]

@short rune

[short rune]

yes

bros living my dream

[short rune]

how are the L45s

[patent cradle]

They're so freaking nice. I was using an Apex 9 TKL before this and was used to a lighter press, so the 60s felt weird to me.

[short rune]

ah okay

still waitijg on mine

how long did lubing take yiu

[marble shuttle]

Min 1 day atleast if you are new to

[patent cradle]

This was my first time lubing switches. Took about 3-3.5h.

Took my time and followed the Wooting video for the first couple then just turned on some tunes and went to work.

[dense dock]

tbh these are the keycaps i plan to put on my wooting when I get it but idk what case to match it with

GMK Red Samurais

[mental hemlock]

burgundy tofu redux

[dense dock]

lemme take a look, ty

[leaden venture]

Would switch pads be okay to use? 0.5mm to be exact.

[high saffron]

does the pom plate from smkey affect the lekker switch sensitivity much

[gentle silo]

I have a Pom plate and it doesn’t effect it one bit

[abstract kernel]

are these also linear?

[obsidian dagger]

yes

[fluid ravine]

I think it's a 4mm

[gaunt nest]

It’s not that bad. I felt like I took whole Witcher season 3 for me to lube a tkl

[fluid ravine]

Quick as hell

[fluid ravine]

Oh no wonder 💀💀💀💀💀

😂

Takes me 6 hrs for me

Prob bc I have a preference

[polar girder]

Yeah idk anything about the process

I’ll watch the Wooting video and learn once stuff arrives

[fluid ravine]

Don't :)

Jk

U can
But I think the wooting lubing video is supposed for people who wants to lube their switches fasttt

[polar girder]

Lol wot

Oh gotcha

What’s different way?

Swirl the brush around entire spring inside and out?

Lol

I know nothing

[fluid ravine]

I haven't watched it

Lmao

But I heard it from other peeps

[fluid ravine]

That's one

[polar girder]

I’ll be sure to get some perspective before diving in then. Thanks.

Interesting tho seems like people really feel the film helps with the sound

[bronze grove]

What??

I would watch it beforehand just to get an idea...then re-watch when you do the first few switches.

There were a number of different "advanced lubing techniques" shown in the video...not just lubing the stem. I lubed the stem and the top housing on all of mine. The video also covers lubing the bottom housing and the spring.

Yeah I’m not even sure what I’m going to lube yet. Lol l45’s and lube kit arrive this week tho

I might play around a bit before I full commit

Im a believer of the less is more philosophy when it comes to lubing. Its easier to add more lube than it is to remove lube and start over.

tbh ive been watching the lubing guide and other guides just to make sure I do it right

never lubed switches before

[trail forge]

the absolute scariest part is your own fear

[dense dock]

very true

[trail forge]

its really not as scary as it seems, just take your time and dont rush it

you will do just fine

lekker switches are super easy to lube compared to standard mechanical switches

[dense dock]

I've gotten less like nervous as ive just watched more guides bht
