whats the purpose for it? does it make the keyboard sound better?

if you like the looks, sound profile changes and if you like a different sound is up to you

I don't have a clue on how to keyboard mod but I am interested once my keyboard gets here

5 screws out take the unit out, plop it in the new case screw the screws

The 60HE Module is compatible with any universal 60% case that followed the GH60 standards. This is how to safely swap it out for a 3rd party case.

lubing your switches makes the most difference imo, it's pretty easy as well but you need the tools and lube, and time

upbeat palm
#

i can make the time I'll just have to buy the kit for it

zenith flame
#

Ye pretty much

fathom fiber
#

wooting does offer a lubing kit

upbeat palm
#

yeah i saw that didnt buy it because I'm a pleb

#

just dont want to break anything honestly

zenith flame
#

But be sure you will buy the kit not just the lube

upbeat palm
#

yeah i was going to buy the whole kit

fathom fiber
#

you just need 3-4 hours , coffee and a movie havo

grizzled path
#

or vodka

fathom fiber
#

me no drinky mm

#

haram

upbeat palm
#

do the keys not come pre lubed?

#

or just not lubed enough for some people

grizzled path
#

yes they do, some people like to lubricate more

fathom fiber
grizzled path
#

also I hear they upped the lube amount on the switches already so I can't really compare, but it was a fairly big difference sound-wise when I lubed mine

fathom fiber
sand oasis
#

makes the switches feel a lil smoother as well

upbeat palm
#

do you guys think the foam in the case is good enough or should i also replace that?

zenith flame
#

Some people say the switches dont sound good out of the box so yu should def try lubing. Not my opinion. Check youtube

grizzled path
#

I'm using the stock foam with a non-stock case, it's fine

fathom fiber
#

and it's all preference so you try and decide

zenith flame
upbeat palm
#

sounds good guys thanks!

grizzled path
#

tofu walnut case

zenith flame
#

Nice. I was thinking of getting the redux.

grizzled path
#

ordered the alumaze as well, we'll see how it is when I get my hands on it

sand oasis
#

my redux is out for delivery can this shit just hurry up an arrive

upbeat palm
#

I'm gonna wait until i get the keyboard and try it out before i try modding it

grizzled path
#

yeah that's a good option, no need to rush

zenith flame
#

Redux vs Alumaze. What u think?

sand oasis
#

its also a bit cheaper

grizzled path
#

idk I already have a tofu so the redux didn't really interest me, it would've cost the same as the alumaze anyway, but I wanna support the guys at wooting

zenith flame
#

So im opting for the redux i guess

sand oasis
#

i paid 80 pounds for the redux including shipping or something like that

fathom fiber
#

I feel like the redux is a bit too boxy

zenith flame
fathom fiber
#

that's why I got the alumaze

zenith flame
sand oasis
#

i prefer the thinner bezzles

zenith flame
sand oasis
#

i do prefer the slightly lower typing angle on the alumaze

grizzled path
#

I've posted this before but here's mine

sand oasis
#

big enter ftw

zenith flame
#

clean af what are those keycaps

fathom fiber
grizzled path
#

thanks feelsgood

fathom fiber
#

the only reason I didn't get the take control keycaps was that I like to flip the spacebar, and that would completely ruin the pattern pepecry

#

I love the color scheme

grizzled path
#

🐝

fathom fiber
#

yeah I hate the edge digging into my finger

#

it feels way more natural when flipped

celest wedge
#

Imo flipped space bar is shit

#

It feels gross

fathom fiber
#

ok

zenith flame
#

It feels like an out of pocket idea

#

But maybe it has some good sides

celest wedge
#

Maybe

#

I just couldn't get used to it and I feel like it makes it sound worse

zenith flame
#

Yall like the gmk black on white? Im thinking of getting them

sand oasis
#

if you like them get them

zenith flame
celest wedge
#

I prefer wob

obsidian dagger
#

gmk prices for wob?

#

why

zenith flame
sand oasis
#

but it looks clean #

fathom fiber
#

this is black on white no ?

celest wedge
#

Yeah

obsidian dagger
#

you can get bow so much cheaper

celest wedge
#

I prefer wob though

zenith flame
fathom fiber
#

oh lol

upbeat palm
#

What’s the purpose of this exactly?

obsidian dagger
#

looks neat

#

thats it

upbeat palm
#

Ah okay

obsidian dagger
#

detachable if you need that

upbeat palm
#

Had me second guessing if the keyboard I ordered came with a cable or not lmao!

sand oasis
#

yeh you can get after market for cheaper but you might have issues with 100% rgb and taceyon mode

upbeat palm
#

Detachable as is wireless?

zenith flame
upbeat palm
#

Oh okay sounds good thanks

zenith flame
#

Dont get any aftermarket if you are planning on sum serious gaming

#

And 100% brightnes ofc

sand oasis
#

i htink ill have to get a white coiled cable

zenith flame
zenith flame
#

U got?

grizzled path
# upbeat palm Detachable as is wireless?

nah it just includes two cables with a quick switch thingy, so you can basically have the coiled one plugged in your main pc and the other shorter one on your work laptop for example, and then there's no need to unplug the cable from the keyboard itself so you can't accidentally rip the usb port off from the kb dogekek

this screw… it wore down my screwdriver and it still hasn’t moved, what kind of stuff have they done to this

Anyone that built there’s did you put a gold standoff for the space bar screw?

Bruh this spacebar screw doesnt wanna come out

Is that the white one ?

sand oasis
#

Yup

#

Will send a full pic when it’s done

#

Thanks

sand oasis
#

But I’m at war with one screw

velvet egret
#

😂😂

#

I’m still waiting for my order to get fulfilled

sand oasis
#

I got 4 out but for some reason the last one is giving me problems

#

Hopefully not too much longer

velvet egret
#

You switching all standoffs?

sand oasis
#

Just removing the wooting from the stock case

#

And the space bar screw isn’t budging

velvet egret
#

Ahh I see damn GL

sand oasis
#

Yeh I don’t really understand cause all 4 other screws were fine to come out

zenith flame

Cute

sand oasis
#

yeh im happy sounds good with the silicon will try it with the wooting case foam as well now

marble shuttle
#

Usually slicon feets made sound hollow which like in tofu60 v1 feets. Redux feets way better imo

Isn’t redux silicone feet?

And I think raffi talking about case foam

Hello dear friends, does anyone have suggestions for a 100% keyboard kit or 100% PCB + Case + metal plate?

normal schooner
#

not an official size thats why for cases u only find 60 or 65%

#

wooting two he is just as good as 60 he with no case metal plate swap

#

Likely pretty close to identical as the material, size and weight are similar

#

I'm using the silicone sheet that came with the tofu

#

I would like to test the sound difference but the bottom screw took me hours to screw in so I kinda don't want to take that out now

stray tiger
low sandal
#

This one right here

#

The screw just wouldn't line up with the hole that I had to loosen up all the screws and slowly shift the board around to get it in

#

then shift the board back to line up with the port. I'm probably using these terminology wrong but I hope this makes sense

velvet egret

#

I'm uncontrollably happy with this it's crazy blobaww

I hope mine ships this week

100% worth the wait

sand oasis

#

Oh...

sand oasis
#

i tried to use the foam and even took off the top layer but i couldent get it to fit

low sandal
#

so that's what they're for pepecry

sand oasis
#

shit happens

stray tiger
#

Wait, if you didnt screw in the standoff what screw did you use to screw into the case there?

low sandal
#

I used the screws from wooting case

sand oasis
#

the screw wont be in anythin gthen

low sandal
#

I was wondering why I can't screw the screws fully in

#

They surprisingly worked

stray tiger
#

That screw isnt long enough to screw in. I dont think its screwed in to anything

sand oasis
#

yeh agreed

low sandal
#

Time to take them out before I ruin the board pepecry

sand oasis
#

yeh i would

#

i used a sscrewdriver to screw the standoff in place its a lil fiddly but nothing compared to what you would have been doing earlier i imagine

stray tiger
#

Correction, it might be screwed into that hole but its not holding the PCB down at all. The only way it would have screwed into that hole is by screwing it all the way through the PCB hole and the screw head coming out the other side

sand oasis
#

some cool keycaps tho i like them very unique

low sandal
#

So the left is Wooting and the right is from tofu

sand oasis
#

yeh screw that gold thing in the hole

low sandal
#

It is a little smaller pepecry

sand oasis
#

then you can screw the actual screw in

#

i used the wooting screws a sewll

patent cradle
#

Case > Gold screw > 60he PCB > wooting screw.

stray tiger
#

If the stock wooting screw is indeed screwed into the standoff hole w/o the standoff being installed, he pushed the screw head down through the PCB, so its not really securing anything at this point

low sandal
#

I think I got it this time

quiet bay
#

looks so nice

low sandal
#

It screws it PRRFECTLY

#

Thanks everyone for helping me! I'm so glad to be here

#

Coating between the Pulsar and Skypad are different

#

So I wouldn't know

primal hound
wooden token
#

I didn’t really care about coating only went for the pulsar pad because of the rubber bottom and the minimal look

hoary river
#

Supposedly the Pulsar is faster

#

Also you have the benefit of a superior base

#

Looking to make a custom rubber base for my pads

#

Because they're the limited edition ones

wooden token
#

Ah I see

#

Sounds cool

wooden token
mental hemlock
hoary river
#

Nah slower according to people that review the two

wooden token
#

Weird because I honestly expected it to be wayyyy faster

#

First glass pad tho so I didn’t have a frame of reference

hoary river
#

I'd say it's not as fast as most people would think

#

At least for a hard pad

#

Skypad describes the 3.0 as a fast/control pad

#

Some people prefer the feel of the 2.0's coating

wooden token
#

I went from a qck to a hien for 4 weeks and then this

hoary river
#

Can't remember why exactly

wooden token
hoary river
#

I went from an old hyperx speed to Skypad

#

Big difference

wooden token
#

Yeah same for me

#

I’m new to the whole mouse and mousepad scene but loving it so far

#

Playing on glass is absolutely insane

I got it last week and already feel comfortable with it

Does very much feel like it directs you into an "effortless" style of aim, at least for high sens, which i like

Hi everyone, I'm very new to keyboards and dont know much. I have the wooting keyboard and was wondering if I will be able to change the case to this one I found on alixpress: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005003329788603.htmlI don't know if the case is compatible with the wooting keyboard
I just really want a kinda clear/transparent case and wrist rest (still haven't found a wrist rest)

this are the list of case that is compatible with wooting

#

you can check them out here

I've seen that list, but this case is not on it

#

but its a very simple cheap case from alixpress

#

i have a feeling that it has too many screws but im not sure at all, since i dont know anything about it

#

better to follow the list as all the cases there are tried and tested

#

you can wait and see if anyone can help you with the case that you posted

yes, but i want a transparent one and i havent found any others than the one i sent 😦

granite mist

my preference is more weight the better

onyx pier
#

becuase it adds a weight to it

vast pagoda
#

okay thank you

#

oh one last question

#

do you know a good wrist rest that will match the acrylic tofu case?

onyx pier
#

you can take a look some from kbdfans they have a few 60% wrist rest there

#

i am currently not using any

#

this is again a personal preference

vast pagoda
#

ok thx

#

do u remember seeing a transparent wrist rest anywhere maybe

onyx pier
#

you can try looking from here

#

kinda expensive ngl

The Wooting 60HE fits like a glove in this 🙂

I have two layers of foam in it now. The stock wooting one on the bottom and the one that came with the case on top of that

Ye you can fit both. Gotta press down a lil on the PCB and then screw down. Just check if the USB port aligns 🙂

whats the difference between redux kit and just redux?

#

redux vs case

bronze grove
#

Case Vs case and kit of other parts not needed for a 60HE

#

Look at the website

round quiver
#

A kit usually denotes the PCB + stabs

vast pagoda
#

denotes?

#

what does it mean heheh

#

i just wanna make sure if im buying the redux case and not the kit, that im not gonna regret not buying the kit

polar girder
#

Bruh

#

Just read the website lol

sand oasis
#

Do not buy the kit

polar girder
#

That’s the kit

vast pagoda

sorry i dont know shit about it

The case is just the case

vast pagoda
#

im just asking for advi8ce

#

i hope its ok ?

sand oasis
#

Don’t buy the kit

#

Just get the case

polar girder
#

You have Wooting 60HE?

vast pagoda
#

okay

#

yes

#

i have wooting 60HE

bronze grove
polar girder
#

Yes. Only case

sand oasis
#

You even use the screws from the 60he

polar girder
#

Kit is to build full new keyboard

vast pagoda
#

alright

#

thxxxx

#

so helpful!! i aprecciate it

#

is there any wrist rest u think would look good with the acrylic tofu60 :>

old swallow
#

i think both the wooting rests look good with the tofu60, but if you want a see trough case you might want to get an acrylic or other see trough material rest to match

is there german sites that have it i wonder

22.26 dollars tax ( Import tax)

I do live in The Netherlands but im pretty sure itl be the same for Germany

only 3 colors r pre order able

velvet egret
#

Thanks.. Damn, I do know that KBDfans is shipping groupbuys now

#

Crazy price difference from what i paid

old swallow
#

only pink orange and acrylic, so if you want those when from EU, seems like a good shout

untold wigeon
#

yea but they prolly update these once in a while

#

so u could possibly buy black vers

velvet egret
#

i pre orderd silver from kbdfans

untold wigeon
#

how much

old swallow
#

mine personally went for around 130 with the brass weight and shipping

#

from KBDfans site

untold wigeon
#

with the brass weight u get to 100 with shipping and taxes here

#

itll prolly take forever to get into stock

velvet egret
#

Oh right totally forgot i also orderd the brass weight. then it almost matches price

untold wigeon
#

well how much did u pay

old swallow
#

thats from KBDFans to Netherlands

untold wigeon
#

i mean thats 30 bucks saved

#

i need this case

old swallow
#

my smooth brain never even looked for other sites selling the Redux, i just assumed it was a KBDfans only product, but oh well. whats done is done

untold wigeon
#

most sites tax high too

#

i assume this site gets discount for buying a lot at once so they still profit

old swallow

yeah, 22 shipping and 22 tax

Im in the same boat, waiting on shipping

My Tofu Redux and Keycaps should be getting shipped soon

untold wigeon
#

my kb will be here a week before holidays so ill have much fun with it when it is hrere

old swallow

idk how kbdfans is with announcing their shipping, i know with alixpress sometimes i get an item and only then get mailed that it got send out pretty much

velvet egret
#

No clue either, first time ordering from them

old swallow
#

yep, same

#

altough customer support has been very good when i needed something from them, so thats good

velvet egret
#

That's true.

#

Just gonna have to wait and see. Hopefully both my things ship this week so ill hopefully get them next week

old swallow
#

i have the keycaps and other things i need for the build, just the case and the wooting itself need to come for me

timid swallow
#

does anyone know if its possible to gasket mount the wooting? i broke the o rings that thread the screws on my tofu60 and thought maybe i could gasket mount it but i don't know if it would have any effect on the sensors or not or if theres any other alternative mounting method i could use

normal schooner
#

soo

timid swallow
#

idrk what else to do at this point

old swallow
#

just mount it without the o rings that you broke?

#

straight onto the standoffs?

timid swallow
#

or maybe im just stupid and they can thread underneath that

#

idk

old swallow
#

euhm....

timid swallow
#

i'll take some pictures later i might just be dumb

old swallow
#

yeah, im not support either, and i might be understanding what you mean wrong.

but normally you just screw the screws straight into the standoffs. and people add o-rings to isolate the sound more by preventing direct metal on metal contact

stray tiger
timid swallow
timid swallow
#

big o ring

stray tiger
#

Yes you can do that. Just need the proper size o-ring.

timid swallow
#

alr cool, does it effect the sensors at all or would it be fine just like that

stray tiger
#

Works fine, has no effect on the sensors as the plate is still screwed into the pcb

Wooting isn’t even soldered…

Just pull out the switches, open then and lube the springs

You're supposed to lube the entire thing not just the walls of the upper housing

no duh you'll have spring ping you still didn't lube the spring itself

Cmon man I just got out of school and this is the first thing I see on discord

How does lubing the switches help

it just smoothen it out or affect consistency?

does the tofu 2.0 case work with the wooting pcb? and if so whats the difference between it and the redux case?

The usb cutout is in the middle instead of the left

Hello guys ! I have a question because I am new to keyboard customization, does Internal Brass of tofu 2.0 redux case change the final sound once the pcb wooting is put in or can I buy the case without it
Thanks in advance

sand oasis
#

the case might sound a bit less hollow without** the weight

#

unless you find somethin to fill the whole in the case i think its 25 dollars so you could buy it and see what you personaly think

stray tiger
#

I also have a solid brass case and that does sound different than an aluminum case but it also weighs 3-4x as much

okayy ty for your answers guys !

how much did it set you back if you dont mind me asking?

polar girder
stray tiger

I got it years ago and kept it as a collectors item. I dont recall what I paid but Ive seen 1 or 2 go for sale on mechmarket in the last 3yrs and I think they went for around $500 shipped. Last one was over a year ago I think, almost never see them for sale.

yeh its heavy and a bit clunky compared to the stock wooting

its just a tad noticeable

#

So many switches

That’s sweet

#

just realizing I can get case and plate for like $100ish

#

still gonna wait for module announcement to decide but the "budget" route of not building an entire second board is fairly attractive

quiet bay
fluid ravine
polar girder
#

yeah

#

that's why I'm holding off

#

if I buy module I can offload v1

#

that's why it's attractive

quiet bay
#

I wish module came out when I bought my wooting

polar girder
#

if I buy PC plate and case I get stuck with steel plate, l60 switches and plastic case lol

quiet bay
#

I bought a new case, new everything

polar girder
#

and stock keycaps

#

yeah keeping v1 stock and building second is pretty attractive but really does depend on module pricing

#

that redux on ali express is hella good deal tho

quiet bay
#

if i got module with switches I can definitely make another wooting but

#

Idk if my brother even like 60% layouts

polar girder

yeah I already have l45's just haven't put them in yet cuz module

I like it at l60 xd

#

aw what fr

#

maybe i just overdid it because i took out the switches and saw a little puddle under each switch

or it was a completely separate issue i have no idea but for some reason at the 6 month mark my wooting would have nothing but non stop problems and it was super frustrating

I don’t have a soldering thing

#

Actually I may try if I find one

grave sun
timid swallow
# fluid ravine how-

i came to the conclusion that the source of my problems were from the lube because once i had taken out every single switch i could see a small pool of lube on every pcb slot and even after cleaning it all up i would still have problems with the sensors not registering presses and pressing by itself, however the other reason could have been the cable too but it was too frustrating for me so i sold it

grave sun
#

Also, how to open a switch without a switch opener

timid swallow
grave sun
#

Oh

#

I see

timid swallow
#

yeah its a painful process pepecry

grave sun
#

Ik

fluid ravine
#

or you could use the leg of another switch

I have small surgical like tweezers

Imma use them

#

What can I also do to my stabs?

#

Other than bandaid mod (so it f doesn’t rattle)

fluid ravine
grave sun
#

I heard about it

timid swallow
#

lube the corners excessively and also flatten it out if it's uneven

grave sun
#

Oke

it suppose to dampen the noise of the stabs hitting the pcb

can the new wooting pc plate support screw in stabs and mounted stabs?

quiet bay
#

But

#

The pcb mounted stabs only work on the new wooting pcb

onyx pier
#

so currently the wooting only supports screw in stabs?

quiet bay
#

The old wootings only support plate mount while the new wooting pcb thats going to release soon is going to support both plate mount and pcb mounted stabs

onyx pier
#

ahh okay thank you

desert dock

#

From what i know everything the same only difference is the stabs

desert dock
#

phew

#

does the plate swap work with my pcb then?

onyx pier
#

It will be cheaper for those that already own a 60% case that supports the wooting pcb

#

Therefore they only have to buy the pcb and switch

#

And some keycaps

#

That's pretty convenient for new buyers

does anybody have a build with the redux

#

i wanna see examples

onyx pier

Seen a few before here

#

ok thank you

desert dock
#

love the keycaps

#

I was kinda wondering about this after buying the wooting plate swap but should I still burger mount after switching the plate? I never tried burger mounting

winged bone
#

my only flaw with the wooting keyboard is the case everything else is perfect (im not a keyboard enthusiast)

dapper kernel
#

Burger mount aim is to avoid contact pcb and case to create an more uniform sound profile, so yes

onyx pier
#

That is someones on the wootstations channel

I too also prefer to switch the case up

#

Currently using psd 60 while waiting for my tofu to come

Psd60 sounds hollow?

i was gonna get the psd 60 but it went oos when i wanted it so i stuck on waiting for redux

dapper kernel
#

I got a psd60 because i didnt have to wait dogekek

onyx pier
#

I think it sounds ok

If it sounds bad i will change into a tofu along with pc plate when it comes

Maybe burger mount it will help

And tape mod it
