this is insane if you just want the 60he functionality to mod it onto another case

river spruce

#

Oh yes it is

quiet bay
#

My gummy o ring shipped time to wait for delivery

polar girder

#

I have gasket ring and l45’s just chilling for new board/plate lol

quiet bay
#

Hoping it's worth the wait for a week

polar girder
#

Thanks

next pewter
polar girder
#

Well I bought l45’s

#

And want new case and new plate

#

So at that point I’m only a PCB away from having 2 kb

#

So I think just buy module and alimaze case then sell my v1 stock

#

It seems greedy but I think it’s honestly the best route

next pewter
#

oh so you have a wooting v1 and you want to improve it to the v2 and then sell the v1 right?

quiet bay
#

Sell it for like 200+ dollars or something

next pewter
#

it's not a bad move if you don't want to keep the other keyboard for sure

patent cradle
velvet egret
#

As a first time buyer i want new keycaps, pcplate,case should i just buy the board or the module?

patent cradle
velvet egret
#

No i don't have one on order. i also want to make my board thocky/kinda silent

patent cradle
#

If you can wait, going the module route would be the best bet.

#

Then you wouldn't have extra parts lying around.

velvet egret
#

no def do not have any parts for keyboards laying around

#

There's no pricing yet on the module right?

patent cradle
#

No pricing, but they mentioned it will be very close to what a full 60he will be last I heard.

velvet egret
#

Will Module pre purchase be released soon aswel?

velvet egret
#

No i do not^

patent cradle
#

After the questions.

velvet egret
#

oh i see -_- im dumb xD

#

Because if pricing is almost the same i might aswel to just order the board, this will allow me to ahve a spare case/ pc plate and keycaps incase something breaks that i have spare incase of emergancy replacement

patent cradle
#

You'll need to order the PC plate separate as it only is sold separate or with the module.

velvet egret
#

True but i assume that won't be too expensive as seperate part

quiet bay
#

Just go with the module

#

You are getting everything new

#

and the keycaps would look funky with your new keycaps

#

and it's highly unlikely to break your keycaps

velvet egret
#

Hmm choices, imma still think about it

#

I got time, i also got my satun pro xxl coming beginning september but keyboard could potentially hmmm

#

Just gotta make sure i stay updated in here w everything going

#

Thank you guys for all the information so far really helping out

potent pawn
#

alumaze preorders are soon?

polar girder
#

Aug 22 they say

#

Module does not include switches FYI

polar girder
#

I have Venus XXL and love it. almost got the Saturn Pro XXL but don’t really need it lol

velvet egret
#

Will do, Still got a few weeks of waiting though sadly.

weak mica
#

so i have lubed my stabs on space bar and even put a thick coat but still has rattle is there any fix for this??

stray tiger
velvet egret
#

What is the best foam to use to reduce noise?

stray tiger
#

General overall noise? Try sorbothane or a similar product.

velvet egret
#

Yeah this is for my old keyboard

#

would neoprene also work?

stray tiger
#

Anything works but you asked for the best 🙂

velvet egret
#

ah okki just wanted an extra option incase my local store doenst have sorbothane

weak mica
stray tiger

sounds a little better with foam but im sure once i get a new case it will sound better

stray tiger
weak mica
stray tiger
#

Any hardware store will have some and it should be $5 or less

weak mica
#

thank you so much! ill update once i get them fixed!

patent cradle
#

Yeah the Wooting how-to lube video uses Molykote EM-50L for the stabs.

stray tiger
weak mica
#

ill def do this, i did notice when i took off the stabs it look like it settled

polar girder
#

Molykote EM-50L

#

That’s the dielectric grease?

stray tiger
polar girder
#

Ok gotcha. Yeah that’s whT I got in the kit

#

Kit has syringe? Will have to check

fluid ravine
#

On my way home :]

stray tiger
#

Kit doesnt have a syringe, was just saying if you had one its a good tip if you run into an annoying rattle after lubing properly

weak mica
#

my hardware store is currently closed for a bit but ill just buy the grease he used in the video on amazon

polar girder
#

For sure. Yeah i have to go to hardware store get the burger mount stuff

#

Amazon overpriced lol

stray tiger
weak mica
#

okiee

stray tiger
#

Its enough to do 100 keyboards

weak mica
#

it will be nice to have if a friend needs it for their keyboard lmao

polar girder
#

I’m going to try burger mount with this list

And also the pc plate most likely will be avail standalone b4 the full module

#

Ah shit

#

Right on. Thanks

polar girder
#

“…the module that’s coming out in a few months”

#

Fk me

#

Damn that’s big sad

stable sail
#

I've had my wooting for a while now

#

Just changed keycaps

#

Pretty clean I think

#

I also lubbed all of my switches. But, you can't see that 😛

polar girder
#

Slick

#

You like the lube job?

#

Improved sound and/or feel?

stable sail
#

I mean, the sound is slightly better but it was already really good in the first place so IDK if I'd say it was worth the approx. 4 hours it took to lube it lol

polar girder
#

Lol right

fluid ravine
fluid ravine
#

The stupidest thing I thinked of so far

#

It's upside down but whatever

#

Oh my gad I wish I could send videos on my phone rn but like
I took out the pcb and tried to test something
I tapped where the stabilizer stem would hit the pcb on both side of the space bar section and I noticed that both side sound different

#

The left side sounds a bit hollow or deeper than the right

#

I'm wondering if that is the cause of the uneveness sound of my spacebar

polar girder
#

add more tap left side?

#

interesting find

#

i'm still big sad that module doesn't come out for months. all my plans foiled and i'm just going to keep stock until module comes out

fluid ravine
#

i added 4 layers

#

barely helps

#

but it sounds a better ig

polar girder
#

4 layers dang

#

tried

fluid ravine
#

such a pain in the ahh

#

thocc is a struggle

#

clack is just pain

#

for a wooting

#

not in general

polar girder
#

I know man that's why I was excited for this module

#

PC plate with screw in stabs? yes plzzzzzz

#

but now I just wait instead and pretend like I don't have bucket of new switches and keycaps sitting right next to me. /sad

fluid ravine
#

i need the plate

#

im really hating on the steel plate since week 2

#

i really hope the pc help

polar girder
#

Yeah I guess I’ll just buy case and plate and skip module

#

Have a bunch of useless parts laying around ☠️

#

Hate that

#

I just want to build a second. Not have random parts

#

So sad

#

I’ll just wait bro.

#

Cry until then. Maybe delete discord so I don’t spam this server.

#

FAQ need update I guess

#

Unless stream was a hoax

#

🤞

#

I’ll just shut up and wait until next week to see what happens.

#

Jelly keycaps anyone?

There is some truth to that. I have turned the brightness down to 20%. It is now tolerable (and honestly kind of cool.)

#

Any new news to the wooting alu-Case?

polar girder
#

Yes Aug 22 for sale

#

Per their recent live streams

round quiver
patent cradle
#

Only aluminum case. They mentioned in the live stream they had to push the module release back.

polar girder
#

Yeah that

round quiver
bronze grove
#

On vacation so take this as mad ramblings, not official word.

A case is ultimately less complex than a PCB redesign and the testing there. If anything were to get delayed it would be the module of the two. duck_bopping

patent cradle
#

I'm interested to see when the PC plate gets released. Wish it was at the same time as the Alumaze.

polar girder
#

I think plate will come at same time as case

#

From what I’ve heard

#

Module late tho

#

But idk

#

We’ll find out next week

patent cradle
#

Yup. Tempted on just picking up the cable and case anyway even if the plate doesn't drop at the same time...then get the plate when it does drop. Either way...planning on getting all of it lol.

polar girder
#

Yeah same I think I’m going to wait for module so I can build two complete keyboards instead of having a bunch of spare parts laying around

#

But was hoping they drop everything together. pepecry

patent cradle
#

I'll have spare parts. No need for a third keebs (second 60he)...

#

Tbh I still have my L60s after swapping in my L45s...pretty much have everything. Can't justify another $150+ though.

polar girder
#

Yeah I have the l45’s waiting at home

#

Don’t want to swap out yet and just get module tho

late bay
stray tiger
# bronze grove On vacation so take this as mad ramblings, not official word. A case is ultimat...

That makes sense and while I'm still getting caught up from being on vacation last week, internal rumblings seem to hint that they are doing some extensive testing like what they did with the uwu to make sure they deliver the best product possible. While the stream did say there was a delay, I cant imagine it would be a big delay as the original hope was to launch the case and module together. I'll reach out and see if I can get some clarity for you guys.

stray tiger
# polar girder Tyvm 🙏🫡

I reached out to the folks in the know and it sounds like they will be providing an official update soon. I'm pretty sure there is a slight delay with the module due to additional testing (not confirmed, but that's my guess reading between the lines) but they did confirm that as part of the update they have some surprise product stuff to talk about that might actually be ahead of schedule.

To help hold you over until the official update, I do know that the aluminum case is launching in 4 colors (4th color has not been leaked to my knowledge) and the final version of the case included a slight adjustment to the USB port dimensions to allow it to be used with all standard GH60/DZ60/Pok3r style PCB's as well. Also, keep your eyes peeled as I've seen the final (I think) professional pics of the upcoming cases and they are BEAUTIFUL!

something like this

the burger mount was nice
but the only problem was the spacebar being hollow

but idk

with the gummy oring it just sound solid

💀

quiet bay

not the mistyoe

#

woah

fluid ravine
#

i did it without the tape and with the tape

#

used tweezer and hit it with the same pressure as possible

#

and yes the left side sound a bit hollow or deeper than the right

quiet bay
#

Weird

fluid ravine
#

so yeah i think thats why

quiet bay
#

my spacebar is balanced

fluid ravine
#

honestly my spacebar is like warped but like i bet its 1mm or some shit

quiet bay
#

but i think u should still unwarp ur spacebar

#

Because it can still affect the sound

#

UNWARP ITTTT!!!!

fluid ravine
#

fine

quiet bay

me personally I would never be able to unsee it

#

After I see that its warped

quiet bay
polar girder
#

I mean if it’s perfectly straight, we’ll never hear about it again.

#

But if it’s not….

fluid ravine
#

love them dog faces

#

it sounds better

#

adding my neoprene foam

#

to make it less hollow

fluid ravine
#

WTF MAN

polar girder
#

Cuz it ain’t perfectly flat bro

fluid ravine
#

oh never mind

#

its still the same even making the spacebar close to perfect

#

yeah i think its the pcb

#

sounds better though

#

wait someone said something about goka foam
whats good about it?

quiet bay
#

except it's not available on amazon no more

fluid ravine
#

oh

#

quiet bay
#

I wanted it

fluid ravine

yeah

#

thats why i sent of pic of me puting tape on it

#

i was a stupid idea

uhh

#

doesnt work

quiet bay

cus

#

plastic=hollow as hell

quiet bay
#

I wish goka foam was on sale rn

#

😔

#

then I could have the thock

#

instead of the crunchy clack

fluid ravine
#

case and plate should be the ones making the most change in the wooting sound profile

#

but i think goka foam makes it better if you have like alu case and pc plate

#

the thought about that is just pure thocc to me

#

we need that

Burger mount or the PCB o-ring

stray tiger
# quiet bay well uh it sounds more hollow

Honestly there shouldnt be a huge difference in overall sound BUT you should notice a difference on specific keys that are near the mount points. The mount point keys when tray mounted will be flatter/muted sounding compared to other keys (even more so when direct mounted and not burger mounted). You will have no muted keys with gummy mount.

#

Summary = Gummy mount provides a more consistent sound

Im kind of leaning towards the gateron ks-20 white version

Whoever said its better is prob delusional

#

They are from the same mold.

stray tiger
#

There will be a lot of new A/B testing opportunities with the new module as well. Having multiple plate foam choices along with the new plate material and other changes will be fun to start all the testing over again. You might find your switch tape mod doesnt sound great on the module using the silicon foam in an aluminum case, or maybe it sounds even better but sucks in an acrylic case, etc etc

Would say tape mod

Rest not so much

Lubing is the most considerable

untold wigeon

-case swap
-tape mod
-lube switches
-case foam

#

i never modded my kb so idk

quiet bay
#

Case foam also makes a good difference

stray tiger
#

Tape mod on the current 60HE is negligible. I suggest lubing, case swap, and different dampening materials in that order

No foam?

Just the case and Polyfill

stray tiger
#

Actually, its the opposite of revolutionary. Showing my age here but back in the 90's when people were adding as many subwoofers to their car as the could fit, they would stuff polyfill into the speaker boxes to dampening the higher frequencies.

haha I lived in that age

I bought "paper tape"

Idk if it's the same as medical tape

Also if you follow any keyboard channels, one of my favs is alexotos and you'll see that he also uses fiberfill/polyfill in his aluminum cases as well

Sorry, I've never done anything to a keyboard before, but is it possible to rehouse my wooting 2 he? I've only seen people mod the 60he, so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question.

bronze grove
#

The 60HE is unique in this aspect, since we designed it with a commonly shared standard in the DIY modding community at the time.

No such standard exists for full sized keyboards.

Ah, I see. Is it not normal to rehouse full-sized keyboards?

No. 🙂

the top side where the switches sit you usually only tape the spots where the stabs might hit the pcb
