this is insane if you just want the 60he functionality to mod it onto another case
Its not insane. Most of us love modding and like the look of other cases much better
no but i mean in my case 100% i will mod the module into another case so if i just want the module it's great that you can only buy the module itself and you don't have to buy the entire keyboard
Oh yes it is
My gummy o ring shipped time to wait for delivery
Let me know how it goes. I have mine sitting in a bag waiting lol
Yeah it’s sweet but now I’m buying second 60HE 😅
Damn lol
I have gasket ring and l45’s just chilling for new board/plate lol
Hoping it's worth the wait for a week
Thanks
are you buying a second 60he kb?
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
oh so you have a wooting v1 and you want to improve it to the v2 and then sell the v1 right?
Sell it for like 200+ dollars or something
it's not a bad move if you don't want to keep the other keyboard for sure
Would need to sell it soon-ish. With them getting more consistent stock, people won't have to wait anymore.
As a first time buyer i want new keycaps, pcplate,case should i just buy the board or the module?
module
Depends. Do you already have a 60he on order? When do you want the board? Module release date hasn't been provided yet other than them mentioning they have to push the date back...so it will more than likely be September/November timeframe.
No i don't have one on order. i also want to make my board thocky/kinda silent
If you can wait, going the module route would be the best bet.
Then you wouldn't have extra parts lying around.
no def do not have any parts for keyboards laying around
There's no pricing yet on the module right?
No pricing, but they mentioned it will be very close to what a full 60he will be last I heard.
Will Module pre purchase be released soon aswel?
@velvet egret
No i do not^
After the questions.
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
You'll need to order the PC plate separate as it only is sold separate or with the module.
True but i assume that won't be too expensive as seperate part
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
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
alumaze preorders are soon?
Lemme know what you think of Saturn Pro XXL
I have Venus XXL and love it. almost got the Saturn Pro XXL but don’t really need it lol
Will do, Still got a few weeks of waiting though sadly.
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??
Do you know what is rattling? Is it the keycap rattling on the switch stem? Maybe the spacebar wire isnt straight? Can you upload a sound clip?
What is the best foam to use to reduce noise?
General overall noise? Try sorbothane or a similar product.
Anything works but you asked for the best 🙂
ah okki just wanted an extra option incase my local store doenst have sorbothane
I don’t know what can be rattling but I’ve taken it off and put it back to make sure everything was aligned
Doesnt sound like anything is rattling, just sounds hollow. Try putting the spacebar keycap back on backwards and see if the sound stays the same, then I would try filling the spacebar with a little putty or foam.
ok i will try that, thank you for helping still very new to keyboard modding 
I feel like I hear rattling, I may be wrong.
sounds a little better with foam but im sure once i get a new case it will sound better
No worries. What lube did you use for the wires?
krytox 205g0, just what most of the modding videos used
Did you put any dielectric grease on the wires? If not thats the first thing I would do. 205g is great for switches and stabilizer housing but not ideal for the wires.
Any hardware store will have some and it should be $5 or less
no i didnt but ill get that and redo them
thank you so much! ill update once i get them fixed!
Yeah the Wooting how-to lube video uses Molykote EM-50L for the stabs.
I think that will make a huge difference for you. Check this video https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8?t=337
if you have a syringe, this part of the video is a great bonus https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8?t=575
ill def do this, i did notice when i took off the stabs it look like it settled
It's hollow
And a but rattly
Its an equivalent synthetic grease yes
On my way home :]
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
my hardware store is currently closed for a bit but ill just buy the grease he used in the video on amazon
For sure. Yeah i have to go to hardware store get the burger mount stuff
Amazon overpriced lol
If youre buying from Amazon, this is the stuff I use https://www.amazon.com/Super-Lube-21030-Synthetic-Grease/dp/B000XBH9HI
Super Lube Grease is a patented synthetic, multi-purpose lubricant with Syncolon (PTFE). Synthetic base fluids and the addition of PTFE micro powders combine to form a premium lubricant that provides protection against friction, wear, rust and corrosion over a temperature range of -45°F to +450°F...
okiee
Its enough to do 100 keyboards
it will be nice to have if a friend needs it for their keyboard lmao
any updates on the alu case and pcb kit release date ? 👀
Aug 22
I havent heard a date but you can expect an update pretty soon
alumaze 60 and detachable cable on the 22
they said 22nd on the last twitch live
They didn’t say module too?
I haven’t watched the stream yet
Will have to
I havent watched the stream
Yea the new module is delayed I’m p sure
And also the pc plate most likely will be avail standalone b4 the full module
For ansi at least*
They did but it’s coming at a later date
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 😛
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
Lol right
Well depends on what mods you do to it with the beside lubing
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
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
i did
i added 4 layers
barely helps
but it sounds a better ig
such a pain in the ahh
thocc is a struggle
clack is just pain
for a wooting
not in general
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
i need the plate
im really hating on the steel plate since week 2
i really hope the pc help
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.
🙏
Lmao
I couldn’t deal with this for longer than 10 seconds
lol
There is some truth to that. I have turned the brightness down to 20%. It is now tolerable (and honestly kind of cool.)
Ranked Premium Jelly POM. With that said, I only got these ones because they were available locally. They seem not too bad quality though.
Where do you all look for Keycaps?
Local vendors and their respective Discord channels, which are great for secondhand stuff. Otherwise global stores
Yeah, I've been going to https://dailyclack.com/ which have a good range.
but the jelly ones I just got off Amazon.
Pbtfans and EnjoyPbt have a wide range of sets, and quality if pretty good. If you're buying Pbtfans, just double check what the material is, it could be ABS also
thanks!
I’m trying to hold it together bro. Don’t laugh at my sorrow.

Any new news to the wooting alu-Case?
how do they sound?
will the wooting60he module also be available at that time or only the alu-case
Only aluminum case. They mentioned in the live stream they had to push the module release back.
man I only really want the new pc plate
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. 
I'm interested to see when the PC plate gets released. Wish it was at the same time as the Alumaze.
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
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.
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. 
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.
Yeah I have the l45’s waiting at home
Don’t want to swap out yet and just get module tho
Fine. Not particularly outstanding, my GMKs were nicer, but it's not egregiously bad or anything.
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.
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!
Hoping standalone PC plate drops with the Alumaze....
Can you guys please stop talking about the plate
Its making me too sad cause it’s only ansi
Man I can't wait to use the PC plate for my ANSI board!

TIRADE!!!!
Only ANSI for the time being*********
Excited for the case announcement and pics.
Excited for the case/module announcement also. Thanks so much for the insight. Awaiting further instruction eagerly. 
No problem. Wish I could provide more info but I've been threatened with bodily harm if I do. All I can say is there is some super cool stuff coming in the next few months.
How are you Tirade?
Busy as always. Was gone last week so playing catch up now
Understood. I would hate to cause you any harm. 👍
im home :]
I’ll wait. I guess. 
Where did you go?
lightwork for tirade
i got home from schoool
ohh haha well welcome home lol
im a young boy :)
I’m about to leave for the weekend. Bachelor party/music festival weekend with the boys.
oo
My youngest daughter went back to school today
I’ll be sure to check on on Tirade to make sure no one has harmed him. 
i bet im younger than one of your daughters
She is 15 so maybe 🤷♂️

wb, king
Yeh hopefully they can find a solution to the issue with the stabs
ughhhhh
i my ass knows that tempest mod doesnt do anything to the wooting yet im trying to prove myself wrong
for no damn reasonnnn
i dare u to do 10 layers

I think you have to wrap over the switches as well
something like this
I'm sure if you cocoon the whole pcb in tape you'll get some kind of an effect
I already have switch films on my pcb
The plate is the reason why it doesn't do anything
I'm (obviously) just pulling your leg here mate
maybe your chair has those
Nah they got wheels
that's handy
Si
My gummy o ring arrives tomorrow 😊
im doing tray mount vs burger mount vs gummy oring mount sound test rn
sacrificing my time
lel
Gummy o ring best!
I dont know actually im just saying it out of my ass

well it seem i found thock again doing this
there's the comparisons yall need
So which one did u stay with in the end?
Gummy o ring?
ye
Cant wait to fill my board with paper tomorrow LOL
the burger mount was nice
but the only problem was the spacebar being hollow
prob bc of the case
but idk
with the gummy oring it just sound solid
but still cant fix the uneveness sound
ye
Still have thr uneven spCebar sound?
yes
did u unwarp it yet
^
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
Weird
so yeah i think thats why
my spacebar is balanced
honestly my spacebar is like warped but like i bet its 1mm or some shit
but i think u should still unwarp ur spacebar
Because it can still affect the sound
UNWARP ITTTT!!!!
fine
YES 
oh my lawd the warp
boiling water should fix your iphone warp
;-;
its my mom's iphone 
how the hell did she afford a iphone 14 pro max gad damn
i thought we were broke
I guess now you are then
I could never
I would use one and forget about the other one
maybe the other one is a burner phone for drug deals etcv
get these
Burn your entire hand so that u can no longer feel anything
man i aint got no time to go out and get that shit
does it need to be perfectly straight
or like close to straight
as close to straight as possible
I mean if it’s perfectly straight, we’ll never hear about it again.
But if it’s not….


HHAHAA
love them dog faces
it sounds better
adding my neoprene foam
to make it less hollow
YO
i think the deeper sound part is now on the right side ;-;
WTF MAN
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?
thock
except it's not available on amazon no more
I wanted it
i ripped my wooting foam
😭
lol
thinking that it would do something
try paper 😎
in plastic case?
sad
I wish goka foam was on sale rn
😔
then I could have the thock
instead of the crunchy clack
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
i want dilas keyboard :(
im satisfied with his the most
marbly af
Who dat
the second guy that did the switch tape mod
yooo what are his mods
I will only do the switch tape mod if I bought more switches
I dont feel like opening them up again for the 3rd time 😔
wow
case and keycaps carries the most
Why are there three names for every mod lol
I want a marbly sound too man 😭
idk
I dont like huge cases
Idk what chatter even means Tbh
I NEED THOCK
I dont want a crunchy clack
what the hell why does it sound so different when i listen to it on the computer instead of the phone
this is recorded on my mic
So crunchy

I personally prefer buttery to thocky or creamy but most of mine end up sounding silky, which is ok.
we all want buttery to thocc ;-;
this keyboard is not getting mercy tomorrow
Im going to keep testing materials put into it until I get a thock
Less foam thicker keycaps?
too broke for ceramic keycaps
1.5 is max
Fishy.
smells fishy right
it looks fishy
i cant smell
i got congestion
idk if I should really buy from them

idk
I'm getting them
Prolly will get durock stabs as well
Ramaworks artisan already in the mail
should definitely do a sound test when u get them y'know y'know
😉
Waiting for tofu to get put on order to buy the stuff
i want to replace it with medical tape
or
test it with medical tape
is 206 thicker than 205?
I dont know I've never used anything other than 205
Done

His posts still show up in other channels for some reason. Not sure why tho if he’s banned
I only gave him a timeout, Ill go delete the other posts
Just trying out these new keycaps and recorded on an iPhone
Definitely changes the sound a little bit
screw this shipping
Video sucks lol
L45’s seems like they sound a little bit better too
With the scientific: keycap and switch in my hand and make it go clicky test 🤓
It is haha so smart
lel
It’s interesting to play around with tho
New keycaps with the l45’s sounds pretty good ngl
Try shipping in australia
No way ur taking my idea
Ur so mean



ye
I'll use g2 and ceramic to diff you
everytime i try to look for a specific thread
i just cant find it
Wallet diff @quiet bay
You got me there
not cool man 

Where can i find polycarb plates smh
you should wait :]
Our custom plates for the Wooting 60HE is perfect to improve the sound of the original keyboard. Easily switch out the plate to improve typing experience and sound of your Wooting 60HE. Metal plates will be 1.5mm thick (the same as the original plate) Plastic plates such as POM, PETG and Impact Modified Acrylic are 1.5
i havent seen any custom PC plates for the wooting
only seen POM (second thocciest plate according to the chart)
Bro
I guess we really have to wait til wooting releases their own pc plate
I REALLY NEED A CASEEEEEEEEEEEE
and that damn plate
lol
thats all i desire rn
get redux or klippe t yknow
get that money up
Whatever
Currently using a feker alice 80 waiting for tofu redux
Ok gotta concentrate bio practical incoming
oo
I want a pom or pc plate 
bro i dont know where my money went ;-;
but the custom pom plate is like 55 with shipping..
if had my money and debit card i could buy like 20 tofu redux
dangg that's like 2k
then you would've been able to get such a nice keyboard alu case
ONG
If I had more money I'd spend endless amounts on mods to test for THOCK
Dude this l45/keycap combo makes me want to swap the board rn 
lol
I'd probably only use l45s for the 2u keycaps
and the rest l60s
I’m clicking them both in my ear and the l45s are so pleasant I just keep going
The l60 with stock keycaps too high pitch and I stop
I think the gateron ks-20s are more clean

I need this
yesss
The white are like $5 cheaper
my wallet
Cheaper and look better
the only diff is the color?
😎
pretty much
Babes
60 percent keyboards only got 70 switches right
61
70 if you fuck them up
I get 9 tries to not fuck em up
Exactly
Which is basically unheard of
I’ve never damaged a switch ever
Bent pins sure but I always bend them back and they still work
Bro the white ones are basically l45’s, no?
I want to lube the gateron ks-20s with a light coat of 205g2
then I can achieve a clean THOCK.
Damn
i mean
I think I'd rather get the gateron ks-20s because they sound better
(white version)
Bro what is wrong with me. So tempted to buy 😭
i like the 60 springs
thats crazy
before i had the wooting
i was using gmmk compact with the akko v3 cream yellows
they have a actuation force of like 50
i guess im used to them now
wooting is my first mechanical keyboard 🥹
oh shi
and I spent too much on it for my first mechanical keyboard 🥹
I dont know how to describe the sound as crunch, clack, pop, or thock
maybe like a mixture of all
couldn't be me
Silicone fill?
Prob too heavy tho
Nice
I think mine is a Fjell
I love the underside. Even tho I would never see it.
Hmm i like this colorway
YeH that’s hot
Spectrum
I thought u were asleep? 
I just finish my hygiene shit
And skincare
It's been 42 min
Damn
Well
For real this time lol
Gn (︶。︶)zzZ
gn for real this time
Much better
abbe
I probably need to get a skincare routine
I've just been studying for the past year till i sleep
Opinions on this keycap set? ( using a white case atm) looking to maybe get a silver case tofu redux or the white/grey looking one from wooting with these keys? would it look good?
PBTfans SPpark R2 keycaps
https://candykeys.com/product/pbtfans-spark-r2
its gonna be good quality
but asking for opinions are kinda pointless cause its all preference
it will look nice with silver imo
if you like it you like and thats all that matters
Its like do the colours match or will they clash
im pretty bad when it comes to colours and what not.. like to a point where when i go out my gf picks my clothes so it matches well xD
wow where did you find that at 0.0
"PBTFans Spark R2 silver case" googled that
as much as I love my keycaps having darker keycaps are a lot easier to maintain
oh lol that does look very sleek
I kinda have like a silver/ cyan/blue ish theme going on so think it would look nice
Hello can i use any USB C cable with my wooting 60 he? I bought blue case so i want to buy this cable to match it, thanks for responses 🙂
Any cable within 2m should work, though in some cases you need to keep the LED brightness below 70% to guarantee trouble free performance if tachyon mode is also enabled.
Ive got that set I think, or the other similar one and its a nice set
usually the site that makes the keycap (order) has sample renders like that
Specs Material: PBT material (semi-transparent keycaps in Blue mod kit are ABS material) Profile: Cherry profile Production Method: Doubleshot Manufacturer: PBTfans Packaging: ABS keycaps tray ( 3 layers) with designed tray cover Friendly Reminds: Only keycaps included, no keyboard Compatibility: Cherry MX switches and
kbdfans makes pbtfans so that's where you get all product pictures
I checked and I dont have that set, I have the PBTFans Kabuki-Cho and PBTFans Resonance from them. I can almost guarantee the quality is the same as the Sparks kit.
ah alright awesome thansk guys
just wanna make sure it looks good too cuz they are like 85 euros
*look good and good quality
Yeah their higher end sets are nice. I do/did have some spacebar warping issues with one of my sets but that happens with every vendor, even GMK
nice good to know that im getting quality especially paying that pricve for them havent pre orderd yet but im pretty sure ill be getting them cuz not really finding any other keycap sets that are 2 tone like that and lighter in colour
I have a PBTfans set aswell and it's nice
193 Caps included in each base kit, starting at 85 USD, We also include a little easter egg in the base kits Inspiration: Born from a desire to pay tribute to the first home computers such as the Thomson TO7 or the Canon V20, this set has its roots in industrial design. It's a vintage looking keyset that pays homage to
I have this one
oh yeh i saw that one, its a little too dark for my taste, i really like the 2 tone and then blue ish colours kinda also matches my kinda theme i have
Feel like in Europe its also kinda hard to find many good quality ones too
keycaps in general is just annoying af because of the group buys
99% of sets you find are no longer available/exremely expensive
you have to find one that you like AND can actually get
Don’t have to worry about group buys if you don’t have legends :)))
This list of keyboard vendors per country might come in handy: https://kbd.news/keyboard-vendors-by-country/
yeah exactly most of the time i see sold out on keycaps so annoying
awesome thansk
Yeah just delete the listing if it’s not available
yeah exactly like the amount of scrolling you gotta do is so annoyign
With 60% keyboard i would onyl need the basic kit right? https://candykeys.com/product/pbtfans-spark-r2
if you don't need non-US language keys yes
Awesome Thanks! just wanted to confirm
You don’t
Accept the burger mount my brothers
forbidden worm
That’s simply not possible.
Use a credit card or plastic trool and start from the middle and work the o-ring out to the edges (put back in first then front)
Is this supposed to go around the whole pcb? and then back into the case?
sorry noob alert :p
yes
That’s not the reply
Sorry if this has been ask or spamming. I haven't found any info on it. I remember few month ago, that there will be an announcement for wooting aluminum case. Is there any update that I miss?
hm First time seeing that/hearing about that
August 22nd i believe
well uh it sounds more hollow
Well which one is better lol
This is the one with tray mount
Cool thanks! I came back checking just in time. 🙂
Burger mount or the PCB o-ring
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
At school rn
But um use tempest mod
Haven't listen to it yet lol
Do poron switch pads make wooting clackier?
I feel like it does
or am I tripping
o yeah I had forgotten to put the tempest mod back in it 😂
Ive never had tempest mod do much (if anything) for me with steel or brass plates. The opposite is true with softer materials like FR4, PC etc
I guess my only hope is the PC plate for thock then
Just go with 3 layers
This is Gummy o ring with tempest tape mod
this is tray mount with tempest tape mod
Yeah haha, I love the color blue
it balances out the sound alot
I like blue, white, and black
my favorite colors
We have similar tastes in color haha
oh yeah sound test? 😉
Not bad
It actually gets kind of easier to do gummy o ring when you know what to do
true I now have no keys that are way more muted than others
ngl I kind of want POM plate more than PC plate
POM seems less high pitched
Aight ima go finish my work cya
cya
dont u just put the ring and squeeze it in 💀
Yeah except the ring pops out so you have to use something like a card to push it back in
👍 goacha, im trying to do a gummy mount too once my wooting comes
first time doing it 😅
She doesn’t let me


It's hard bc the pcb foam isn't compressed
It takes time for it to compress so it makes it easier to put in
True
Mines are like skinny thin like my arms
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lp_kJNGPyI I wish I had this kind of thock
Got a Wooting, stock sound and feel kinda bad, so modded the heck out of it, and made a sound/typing test. Even though some of the mods are actually p scuffed, I'm pretty satisfied with it. Hopefully Wooting makes some lekker switches with less stem wobble though, because I'm not a fan of the rattley sound.
Full Mod List:
Aluminum Plate (Don't...
😔
GOKA foam my beloved get the heck on sale right now
I prefer my boy dilas keeb
But yes we need thocc :(
Where's his sound again?
Here
Replace the steel plate, boys
Still needing a case

I wonder what both of their keyboards would sound like with cerakeys
haha no alu case!!
coming from someone who went broke after 40 dollar shipping of the klippe t but whatever!!
Ima go to Walmart and get medical tape
Laterr
Test which onr would sound better for the switch tape mod
test out multiple fr
but they gotta have different results...
Gewalt said the medical tape is like softer
Im going to wait for better improved lekker switches
And idk what medical tape looks like lmao
that make a bigger difference in sound than the gaterons
One time I accidentally bought cloth tape
L45 sound > l60 sound
I was literally looking for medical tape and I bought this instead 💀💀
Idk just order it l0l

ok bye bye
Lol wouldn’t the l45’s be the better improved lekker switch?
eh
Not a big improvement
I'll just wait
this is an excuse so I dont have to open up my switches again to do switch tape mod
I think it’s a pretty good improvement
After briefly playing around with them outside of keeb last night
Yeah I might get them to try also
But idk how much of this “gaterons are more solid” is actually true from people that tested it or just regurgitated second hand info
I mean from the sound tests they sound cleaner and less chattery
I see
They are literally identical, i have both and am using stem from ks20 and housing from lekker for better rgb, but other than that its exactly the same.
Whoever said its better is prob delusional
They are from the same mold.
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
Right yeah that’s kind of what I was thinking. Already picked up the l45’s and not sure if it’s worth getting the white gaterons. Maybe not I guess lol
Any idea how much the pc plate would cost alone?
Yeah that will be sick. Can’t wait.
Modding keyboards is thrilling
the only part I hate is screwing the parts back together because I ocassionally drop them
I got it cos I was using pom keycaps and the green from lekker was shining through the translucent keycaps
what are mods considerable for the wooting 60he to make it sound much better
Would say tape mod
Case swapping
Rest not so much
Lubing is the most considerable
Case foam also makes a good difference
Also depends on the case material when choosing the foam. For example I use polyfill in the majority of my aluminum cases. $5 for enough to do 100 keyboards
Tape mod on the current 60HE is negligible. I suggest lubing, case swap, and different dampening materials in that order
I love Tirade
ohkey thanks
Like Polyfill that’s in a pillow or something?
yup
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
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
Cost of car $1500, cost of audio system in car $4000
Here is how I mod my stabilizers. I get asked this a lot of my streams and honestly, I figured why not just record this so I can link this video instead of having to re-explain it every time. I hope you enjoy it. Please remember this video is only covering lubing and installing, some stabs like cherry clip-ins, you'll need to clip the bottom leg...
@fluid ravine relevant? 😅
I swapped to alu case, put a few layers of tape and more dampening in the bottom but there’s only so much you can do with the switches and plate.
the biggest problem is the plate tbh'
Rather pingy sound through to the case
For wut
Your spacebar
The vid?
Word. Mb
Since you guys like the Tofo so much, this video might help you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v613sO7-M4U&t=19s
Here is the build VOD for the E-White TOFU where we experimented with a few different approached to make the TOFU sound and feel good / bouncy!
0:00 - Sound Test without Poly-Fil
13:45 - Sound Test w/ Poly-Fil
Case: E-White Tofu60 - https://kbdfans.com/r?id=icdu2l
Switches: Creamsicle Frankenswitches (Tangerine V2 Bottom/Top Housings and NK C...
Btw paper tape/medical tape is softer than masking tape
Yeah I used blue 3m
So I think it will dampen the sound better
Since y’all seem to like the tofu so much, does anyone have experience with both tofu and psd?
Not talking about tempest
Ah
Ive used both and they are pretty much the same. Neither are on my list of best cases but for the money they are good. Ive got a few laying around here Ive been holding on to for when I can get the new wooting case and do some comparisons.
I got the psd because it was available. I never envisioned it as my final case for the wooting. That said I’m surprisingly pleased with the weight and general feel of it.
I've got this one in gray and a Tofu in green
When do we think the wooting version will get released?
I think its still on track for within the new few weeks. I believe an official update is coming soon to verify
@stray tiger yeah i need to get that one on order
How’d a nitwit like you get so tasteful
I think the light green looks pretty damn solid though. Especially with some GMK botanical keycaps
What a coincidence I'm wearing that green rn
I want the frog mini in dark gray but can’t be bothered with a custom plate right now.
I made a plate for the frog mini (mine is purple) and it wasnt much of a difference. I actually preferred one of my other setups and now my frog is back to stock config
A friend did as well and he’s really happy with his.
I’m not a keeb collector though.
They mentioned in their live stream the 22nd.
cant you technically tape mod both sides on lekker boards?
@patent cradle what exactly did they mention?
Anyone know a retailer that's preordering the tofu redux in Europe? I know keygem are but the colors I was hoping to snag are fully booked already
Orders will go up on the 22nd, there will be 4 colors (black, white/gray, blue, special color), detachable cable orders will release with the Alumaze release.
If you go to their Twitch channel on their most recent video, it starts around minute marker 20.
They talk about the case for 10-12 minutes then start talking about the detachable cable.
@patent cradle thank you!
?
may you clarify
Did you check Aliexpress?
No cause I'm looking for a retailer in Europe as stated
What’s the 60% version of a Neo65? Lol
Every time I see that case I do a double take
So sexy
theres no connectors on side where the switches are, cant you tape that side also
Connectors?
m
idk why tape the back
If you want to cover the LED's and heat up the PCB significantly then I guess you could try it.
What makes a good, quality case? Outside of aesthetics. Weight and tooling?
Weight, finish, anodizing, build quality
Right on
Yeah I’d like to get a nice one but also don’t want to spend more than $100. They seem to be conflicting priorities lol
You get what you pay for
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.
In practice? No. There are no shelf made cases it would fit into.
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 reason to tape the back is so the reflected sound if there is any gets changed as it needs to pass through the tape
the top side where the switches sit you usually only tape the spots where the stabs might hit the pcb
if even that
Hi, Im looking to replace my case with the tofu 60 redux. Would you recommend getting the redux kit or just the case?
case or case and weight.
redux kit contains things that do not fit wooting and are not needed
Got it, thank you! Would you recommend that I replace the case? I haven’t received my wooting yet, but i know the tofu cases take a long time to deliver.
Mid september not long time
The aluminum case looks really good so I recommend it.
Besides tofu, mekanisk's kippe fjell is another popular case
wooting's aluminum case will also be presented on the 22nd
Please choose the one you like
Oh?? Wooting is coming out with an aluminum case? I wish I knew that before ordering my keyboard 😅
not a bad decision in any way, when available you can order just the case if you'd like
anyone know if the iso steelseries prismcaps fit the iso 60he?
Sure.
alright, thanks a bunch!
