[dapper kernel]

just try to find one locally so its cheaper

m2 screws i think and o rings are easy to find

[loud zephyr]

Here's a really good guide of this persons build, and the o-ring and screw size he recommends: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/12jlgs4/modded_wooting_60_he/

Pretty much all available on Amazon the parts needed

[polar girder]

I was told you can’t burger and gummy mount?

[sleek wagon]

Thank you! I appreciate the help I'll definitely do the burger mount when everything gets here

Wait I'm assuming the burger mount cause a height issue too if I'm building in a low profile case? Maybe I won't be able to do it

[polar girder]

I mean define height issue I guess

It’ll raise it up but not by much

It’s a squishy little ring

[sleek wagon]

Yeah raise it up, the case I'm gonna buy the plate sits right at the edge of the case perfectly

So the o rings would cause a small gap

For reference I'll be putting it in this case

[polar girder]

It’ll be easy enough to try it out and see if you want to

Probably like $2-3 in hardware from the hardware store

[loud zephyr]

This guide is better than the one I posted before, as it relates specifically to the GH60: https://owenminercs.com/Keyboard/60he.html

[untold wigeon]

that looks so bad

[loud zephyr]

[sleek wagon]

Thank you, I appreciate the help

[loud zephyr]

[pallid juniper]

You can use DSA or XDA profile keycaps

[mental hemlock]

@loud zephyr did u do it for all 4 screw holes

[sleek wagon]

Does it make any sense to use the springs from the L45 and swap them into the L60's? I should just use the L45's in the board instead right? Any performance difference between the two?

[fluid ravine]

Just the springs are different

[sleek wagon]

Figured, I'll just use the L45's then. Thank you!

[fluid ravine]

Np

[mental hemlock]

when do they come in Tuna?

[polar girder]

Is it possible???

[mental hemlock]

It's simply not possible.

[polar girder]

Right ok

I bought a gasket ring but will probs just burger

[shell crown]

Burgir mount best

[serene phoenix]

Borbgar

[marble shuttle]

Next week

[vivid jetty]

That’s what I’ll be doing. At least to try it out. Currently using the Kilmat + MLV, so my sound is pretty muted as is. Will see if the PC plate makes a big difference

[loud zephyr]

Mine has 5 screw holes and all burgered

[quiet bay]

Time to wait

[pine marsh]

I got some flat profile key caps as flat face keys are what I sue on a daily basis, now I'll be ready for my wooting 2 HE ||praying for no more delays for the US Mint batch||

[robust scroll]

xd, im with u, it'll be worth it at the end 🙏

[tardy kestrel]

Does anyone know if ceramic keycaps (especially the spacebar) will be a problem with performance/responsiveness? Will they reset just as quick as PBT keycaps or is there a noticeable difference?

[sleek wagon]

Let me know how it works out!

[sleek wagon]

What flat keycaps do you use?

[sacred jay]

just need a tough spring for spacebar, all else is just fine

so favorably l60 spring for spacebar

[weary tree]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1112068072120008844

spacebar has some issue according to this post

[tardy kestrel]

Since you can set the threshold for when the key resets will this nulify the slower reset to its resting position?

[shell crown]

Yes

[pine marsh]

XVX Low Profile Keycaps -Black Keycaps, Shine Through Keycaps, 118 Keys Double Shot PBT Keycaps, Horizon Custom Keyboard Keycaps for 60% 65% 75% 80% 100% Cherry Gateron MX Switches Mechanical Keyboard https://a.co/d/1nwkTKr

These are the ones I got, you could probably find them cheaper on Ali express. The ones I got also come in a nice blue color set that I was also thinking about getting

I went with flat because I am used to using laptop keys

[sacred jay]

guy could just handpull the spring to make it slower

[weary tree]

Idk how to do that

[gritty basin]

crack the switch open, find the spring and pull with both hands

extend it

[fluid ravine]

😭😭

[high saffron]

who here has removed the spacebar standoff

whats the typing like

[vivid jetty]

Like, removed it and not put it back? lol

[high saffron]

like typing with the 4 standoffs on the left and right sides and removing the standoff at the spacebar

[vivid jetty]

Hmm, I would it assume it wouldn't work that well.

[weary tree]

Better off doing a burger mount

[high saffron]

oh yeah fs

just curious about peoples experience with it if someone has ever

[quiet bay]

I've done it, it works

Though now i have a gummy o ring mount so

[finite gate]

what does tape do

[vivid jetty]

If you’re putting IN your switches, it can dampen the sound of the switch returning to the resting position when it hits the top of the housing.

If you’re placing it on the bottom of you’re PCB, it can change the sound of the board slightly depending on the type of tape and thickness.

[finite gate]

hm

[vivid jetty]

Or lastly, you can place tape underneath your keycaps which changes the sound of the keycaps slightly, most commonly done on the spacebar.

[finite gate]

isn’t silicon better for that

[vivid jetty]

Probably, tape is just like a cheap way to go about it.

I haven’t tried the keycap method. From numerous sound tests online I wasn’t a fan of the tempest tape mod either (the one on the bottom of the PCB)

I think changing the foam, and case are more effective means of changing the sound.

[left patrol]

How can i get my wooting to sound more thocky, i use the tofu redux with the foam from wooting

[marble shuttle]

Lube

[loud zephyr]

The steel plate makes it challenging to achieve a more thockier sound, but you can start with a burger mount and thick PBT keycaps. Wooting's PC plate should go a long way to achieve a thockier sound

[left patrol]

Unfortunately i have the iso layout

Is there any info if wooting will be releasing the pc plate for iso layout

[bronze grove]

TBD. We'd have to make one just for existing ISO owners.

[polar girder]

There’s also several people that have posted here with ceramic keys that have no issues tho. YMMV

[atomic wind]

tape mod and burger mount maybe

[cerulean mantle]

if a lubed key sounds different do i relube it or is that normal 💀

[winged bone]

last change for now

[normal schooner]

ok rezy we got the tofu and the coil

[polar girder]

Atypical coil direction.

Nice lol

[quiet bay]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8Y0HH6dvyc

Ceramic, Aluminum, now metal

[onyx pier]

Wonder which gives more thock

I saw it also

[quiet bay]

Gives off an awful tingy noise on the stabs though

[onyx pier]

Then cerakeys might be better

[shell crown]

Uh oh get some nicer colors

[polar girder]

Wtf is “Metal” tho lol

[polar girder]

That lavender is gorgeous tho

Matte metal black keycaps for $150 is solid

[narrow saffron]

They say its made of cupronickel

[polar girder]

I see

Cupro is a cellulose fabric lol

Curious

[tardy kestrel]

its also known as copper-nickel.

[polar girder]

Yeah makes sense

[sleek cove]

I feel like your board would look better if u would combine some black and white caps

[winged bone]

what colors you thinking

[winged bone]

it would but this is all i have atm

i tried some black keycaps but when they came in they were a lighter gray than i wouldve liked so i took them off

[sleek cove]

I bought white redux case and i wanna combite white and black together :-), Was thinking of buying whe wooting white caps but the delivery is expensive and the vats

[winged bone]

sheesh

[mental hemlock]

might wanna change that pfp

[quiet bay]

quite literally my keyboard except it's a klippe t case

[winged bone]

i think the blank keycaps are next

[mental hemlock]

yes please

[sleek cove]

Its Will Angell on the photo my favourite performer in the industry

[sleek cove]

Klippe T is nice too, I thought of buying it but the redux saved me its cheap and i like the usbc port can be adjusted

[fluid ravine]

ayyy

:>>

[hollow hound]

hopefully this is an okay :>
but i've found one of my old design for tray mount and i guess its time to open source it! the idea is to make a tray mount case with actual burger mount compatibility by having larger usb cutout to accommodate the increase of distance due to added o rings. was a bummer when i tried to do burger o-ring on my tofu years ago and realizing the usb port wasn't actually design to handle that mod.
i hope this case would help anyone trying to do that mod in 2023, and super stoked on trying to get a 60HE module in coming time! feel free to reach me out if you have any question or concerns

[polar girder]

Yeah white case is sweet cuz white plate

“White” Alumaze is best case

[sudden lichen]

I want to try titanium and carbon fiber case/keys

[mental hemlock]

good luck lol

[fringe torrent]

My Wooting with GMK 80082 BL00

[lost bolt]

the colours dont match with the case

[mental hemlock]

fuck all that, M2K and artisan pad?? beautiful

[sudden lichen]

Marbled carbon keys would go hard

[fringe torrent]

does anyone make some? iv only ever seen carbon spacebar and esc key

[fringe torrent]

everything goes with black tho i do have an alumaze60 on order in grey

[fringe torrent]

awesome pad tho i keep going back between that and the hien

[lost bolt]

i mean the 2 black tones dont match

[fringe torrent]

which black tone are you talking about ?

[mental hemlock]

Which pad is it?

[fluid ravine]

ong 😭

[fringe torrent]

otsu soft and the hien i switch with is the mid for the m2k otherwise i use soft for the other mice

[fluid ravine]

HIEN!?

W narisa

[cyan adder]

Does plates that are in kit with tofu60 redux are compatibles with wooting 60he pcb ?

[bronze grove]

No.

[fluid ravine]

no

[mental hemlock]

W fr

[cyan adder]

Thanks for answering

Would I be stupid if I ask you why exactly ? I hates yes/no response without understanding myself why

[fringe torrent]

i just need to grab the raiden and shidenkai when they release the new version

[mental hemlock]

different mounting locations

[lost bolt]

the darkest tone of the keycaps and the tone of the case

[fringe torrent]

thats dark blue not black

[lost bolt]

very dark blue i suppose

[lost bolt]

yea thats what i mean...idk it just jumped into my eyes and now i cant unsee it ;)

[civic knot]

Will these be good for burger mounting? I heard longer screws are better. Also getting 4.5mm x 1.5mm x 1.5mm orings? Yay or nay?

[calm tusk]

Yeah longer screws are better, I used the ones that came with my Klippe T chassis but if you're using just the stock case or not buying one that comes with longer screws then yea id get em, not too sure though.

For the o rings though 1.5mm are the ones you want yea. These are the exact ones I bought (CA): https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B082SVFWCS?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I tried the smaller screws that came with the wooting to see what it was like for burger mounting and it's not ideal ill just say that. like you can pull it off it's just somewhat difficult.

[civic knot]

my redux just came in. ill check those to see what size they are. thanks for the help

[onyx pier]

I think 6mm is enough but preferably longer so it will make your life much easier

[calm tusk]

^

[civic knot]

awesome these are the last two pieces to the puzzle. got my redux, lube kit, tape for tape mod. just need some time off work now to put her all together.

[dim hamlet]

is there an updated list of compatable cases or is the current one the newest?

[tardy kestrel]

I believe the list gets updated along the way.

[dire delta]

Someone has a link to a 60% alu plate which supports Plate Mount Stabilizer and has holes for the Plate Standoffs (I do own the KBDfans standoff set)

[flint mango]

Does the wooting 60 he come with a keycap puller

[bronze grove]

Yes.

[flint mango]

ok ty

[cyan adder]

Yo guys I’m about to order my tofu 60 redux. Still wondering if the brass plate is that much important. Can you tell me exactly what does it changes to have one ?

[untold wigeon]

Weight, solely

[cyan adder]

Only ? Anything with sound ?

And anyway as a gamer / streamer, you won’t hear sound while playing with a headset right ?

[untold wigeon]

No to the first one, it depends for the second one.

Depends on how loud your keyboard is and how good your headset blocks sound out.

[dapper kernel]

Yes it does affects the sound to an extent

[mental hemlock]

barely

[dire delta]

Just add it

[finite gate]

so im buying monsgeek m1w pre assembled, does anyone have a brass plate that is compatible (ansi)

[weary tree]

Doesnt the case need to have a slot for it?

[bronze grove]

Never heard of a brass plate that is cross brand compatible.

They're usually custom fit for a specific case.

[finite gate]

oh :(

keeps the stock FR4 i mean how bad can it be

[crimson sky]

yea they also don't provide you with a plate file

[crimson sky]

much better than brass for sure

[finite gate]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[crimson sky]

brass plates suuuuuck

[finite gate]

why

[finite gate]

y :(

[crimson sky]

not stupidly stiff to the point that they can actually feel fatiguing on bottom out

[weary tree]

That pre assembled for ya

[crimson sky]

even with customs basically nobody does brass plates

[finite gate]

lube, il do it

springs, hell nah

[mental hemlock]

i'd get those fs

[crimson sky]

lol

why not springs

[finite gate]

or epomaker wisteria linear

[finite gate]

lazy + il lose em

[crimson sky]

if you lube you already open them

at that point springs are barely extra effort

• costs like 7€ for a while board

[finite gate]

breaks back picking them up

[crimson sky]

for a 110 pack

[finite gate]

what springs are goog

[crimson sky]

tx or geon

are the best

getting either is a pain in EU 💀

[finite gate]

which length

but personal preference obv

just baglube them with a bit of oil

[finite gate]

that logo is insane

[crimson sky]

good logo

I scowered the EU resellers already to find the last few sets of that spring version here

so sus retailers don't scare me off

their website looked fancier but they took ages to ship 💀

Hey, does anyone happen to know how thick the EPDM is on the bottom of TWO HE keyboard? Is it worth it to replace with a thicker one or poron (or does a thicker one even fit inside)?

[daring umbra]

Anyone know where I can avail KBDfans 5 Degree Case? 😅

[mental hemlock]

discontinued

[cerulean mantle]

hm

in todays video we see what keyboards cant survive gallium

[daring umbra]

welp fjell it is

[hidden stratus]

I want to change to tofu60 redux if im gonna change to PC plate, which plate i have to buy? (from wooting or kbdfans)

[stray tiger]

Wooting in the only one who sells the PC plate

[polar girder]

Fjell is 5%?

[stray tiger]

Its 8% if I recall

[mental hemlock]

degrees?

[polar girder]

Yeah that

Thanks

Fjell is my grail aesthetic but that’s kind of steep

I doubt I’ll ever upgrade from redux, realistically

Unless there ends up being something with it lol

[stray tiger]

Fjell is the first real set-up in quality/sound once you get away from the sub $100 cases

[mental hemlock]

chill

might make me buy one, one day

lol

[stray tiger]

Its a great case

[fair mountain]

my fjell is very good

[mental hemlock]

One question.

Is the Klippe T heavier than the Redux with the brass weight?

[stray tiger]

I think its almost 3x as heavy

[stray tiger]

Oh sorry Klippe. Not sure/ Fjell is

Looks like Klippe is similar weight as the Tofu

[mental hemlock]

similar. Is it heavier?

[polar girder]

They’re about the same. Yeah ~1kg

Redux is advertised as 1.08kg with brass

Klippe T advertised as “Approx. 1kg”

So yeah

Fjell is advertised as approx 2kg fwiw

[mental hemlock]

shit

okay

I'm gonna make a brass weight for the OG Tofu

[stray tiger]

Cheaper and better options out there

[mental hemlock]

wouldn't cost me near anything

just need it to be heavy

[stray tiger]

Aggressive gaming sessions?

[mental hemlock]

nah haha

just want to fill the void

[mental hemlock]

although you could say that

[stray tiger]

Thats super aggressive

[mental hemlock]

which part lol

[polar girder]

Lol

[daring umbra]

if only kbd will do another run for 5 degrees I would cop

[polar girder]

Full aggro

Love to see it

Not that bad tbh

Colors suck from this angle tho

[shell crown]

Yeah nice setup

[quiet bay]

Aggressive af

I’d rather not twist my wrist like that

[polar girder]

Lol yeah crazy

I just go straight arm and natural limp hand angle

So boards tilted at like 30th degrees

[mental hemlock]

show me

[fringe torrent]

do you actually play like that

[mental hemlock]

yessir

[fringe torrent]

my neck hurts looking at that angle

[stray tiger]

Real question, if you need to type something in chat, do you have to drag your keyboard out?

[shell crown]

No, knows his buttons

[mental hemlock]

how so?

[stray tiger]

Show me a picture of you typing with 2 hands with the kyboard at that angle.

[mental hemlock]

okay

let me get my tripod lol

[stray tiger]

I mean does it look like this?

[mental hemlock]

similar

[fringe torrent]

what case is that it looks nice

[stray tiger]

Sirius60 with a custom plate for the Wooting 60HE

[mental hemlock]

sending a typing test to tirade

[stray tiger]

Thats actually super interesting. Whats your monkeytype or WPM using that style?

[mental hemlock]

piss poor lol but I only use it for gaming

[stray tiger]

Well that would make sense and typing on a laptop would suck for sure haha

[mental hemlock]

thank gosh I don't use one lol

[stray tiger]

For sure. Luckily its not a full sized keyboard either

[mental hemlock]

haha yep

one of the many perks of a 60

[fluid ravine]

Skill diff damn

Bro got the angle buff

[mental hemlock]

facts lol

helps me hit gold

[stray tiger]

gold in FPS, silver in typing and below bronze for posture lol

[mental hemlock]

that's so mean lol

[stray tiger]

I'm sorry, that was uncalled for 🙂

My back hurts all the time so I'm not one to talk about posture

[mental hemlock]

you're not even 25

[stray tiger]

I mean Ive got underwear older than 25 but I feel 25 mentally

[fringe torrent]

just looked it up looks great but sold out seems like its hard to find polycarbonate cases these days

[fluid ravine]

LMFAOOO

[loud zephyr]

Try this setup unless you want to have posture like Gollum, and be blind by 40yrs old. All you would need is a small coffee table, and a medicine ball.

https://www.esreality.com/files/images/2010/78847-IMG_1240.JPG

king Rapha

[stray tiger]

Yeah it's an older board and not super common. You could try keeping an eye out for some other older cases that don't need a custom plate such as the Polycarbonate Tofu60 or 5 degree, Acrylic Klippe-T or Glass Baldr60, Polycarbonate Bumper 60, PH60 (if you're ok with HHKB) and a few more I've probably forgotten

[polar girder]

Lol that’s why I needed side print Glance under the monitor real quick 😅

Lol ofc tirade has a PC case with PC plate. Boss keeb living.

[stray tiger]

It's actually an aluminum plate but I tend to prefer aluminum in a lot of boards. I am looking forward to testing out the PC plate though!

[fringe torrent]

ill have to look into those i did come across the mont60 recently but the typing angle was too much but the case looked nice

[stray tiger]

A wrist wrest would alleviate the typing angle if that's your only concern.

[polar girder]

Ahh gotcha gotcha.

Dang mont60 look nice

But 11degree kind of steep lol

[fringe torrent]

yep that was my concern even after propping up my keyboard to see what things would be like

[polar girder]

For gaming in particular I think I wouldn’t like it. Idk tho

I have a wrist rest and I’m scared lol

Maybe not do bad tho. Idk

Acrylic 60% low pro for $20?? Might try it out

[fringe torrent]

im kinda tempted to order it part of me feels like i might regret it

[pine marsh]

Hey, I just got a full set of low profile keys for my 2HE today

They’re shine through

my wife is asking why I have more keyboard parts than keyboards 💀

[fluid ravine]

HAH

AH

HAH

rip

[polar girder]

They always ask. But they’ll never know.

I’m always honest with my wife when she asks. But then there’s always more.

[untold wigeon]

I heard someone here say wrist rests aren’t ergonomic

Would like that explanation again lol

[polar girder]

Probably depends on where your arm hits the desk

[weary tree]

Personally feels like its too high compared to keyboard height.

[polar girder]

That’s Wooting one ?

[weary tree]

60he

[polar girder]

Wrist rest

I recognize that case lip anywhere 😝

[weary tree]

60% mini wrist rest

[polar girder]

Gotcha

I have Wooting wrist res. MYbe I’ll take a pic later

Work for me tho. Never really thought about it

But I also prefer kind of flatter feel for keeb. So makes sense if I liked higher rest. Idk

[weary tree]

Works better when i put a thin book under the 60he

Something like this looks better

[polar girder]

True. Crazy

[weary tree]

Will prob buy one of those keyboard mats from kbd fans

[weary tree]

[stray tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-the-dumbest-thing-ive-ever-heard-kyle-south-park-thats-so-stupid-what-are-you-talking-about-gif-21522038

I mean if were being technical, you want the the heel of your hand to be on the wrist rest and not your actual wrist.

[weary tree]

All down to personal preference in the end

[cyan adder]

hey on the wooting lubing kit there is no oil for the springs right? or maybe i can use something else from the kit for the springs?

[polar girder]

No oil for bag lube

Just the krytox for switches that you would swipe on the springs

And the grease

[cyan adder]

hm, what is the best for springs then? krytox 205g0 on it or buying krytox 105 oil and bag lube? or its the same

[weary tree]

205 is only on the edges of the spring to reduce spring ping

You cant bag lube with it

Best is to do both bag lube + edges

[sudden lichen]

dilute with some water until you can bag lube it

[polar girder]

Really?

I never lubed mine yet. I only bought the kit so far lol

[weary tree]

I had spare lub from previous keyboard so might as well

[stray tiger]

Just watch the wooting video on lubing and use the included lube in the kit to lightly lube the spring ends. Its the same as dipping the springs.

[glacial wind]

Interesting. I’m opposite, I can’t have the keyboard alone on my keebmat because it makes the angle feel off for me

I bought a larger xl keebmat just so both my wooting and wrist rest could be same level again

[polar girder]

Tempted to lube whole spring, NGL lol

But does seem a bit much lol

I would definitely rather under lube than over lube. And being my first time I think I’ll take it light.

[weary tree]

I guess it ends up to personal preference. We all slightly different from one an other.

[fluid ravine]

you might went to go heavy on the springs

just

dip it in the jar and call it a day

[polar girder]

Yeah I was just watching a video on how to lube your switches

Easy enough

[fluid ravine]

exactly

gj

[polar girder]

🫡

[fluid ravine]

[stray tiger]

Deleted that pic so people dont think youre serious and make my life hell

[polar girder]

Lol ok I respect that

My bad, G lol

😂

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[polar girder]

You laugh. He cries.

[vivid jetty]

I lubed my whole spring. Fairly lightly though I think.

[quiet bay]

I only lubed the ends

[fluid ravine]

i triple lube the whole thing

im just like that

[quiet bay]

i hate lubing springs by hand

I’d rather just bag lube if I had gpl 105 😢

[fluid ravine]

Is it just me or is it spaced weirdly

[gaunt linden]

What are the best keycap profiles for the Wooting?

Also brands?

[quiet bay]

hmm kind of

But as long as u dont pay close attention u wont see it

[loud zephyr]

How do the stock keycaps look?

[loud zephyr]

It's all personal preference, here's a reference on height profile

[floral fern]

Replacing the plate for the wooting. Does it already have stand-offs already provided in the original build? I really wanna order this POM plate from SMkeyboards but there's currently no stand-offs I can find other than kbdfans which are sold out.

[loud zephyr]

No standoff provided as it's built into the PCB or stock plate, from memory

[floral fern]

Damn that sucks hopefully the stand-off comes back soon or if wooting can come out with one before then would be great as well.

[loud zephyr]

Wooting's PC plate would be the best way to go if you can wait, it comes with different types of PCB/Plate foam and no need for third party screws

I think pre-orders will arrive around Oct-Nov, not sure what the allocation is like now though

[quiet bay]

Still October

[loud zephyr]

[quiet bay]

Early-Mid October

[loud zephyr]

Mine says Nov

[quiet bay]

Wthhh

How

[loud zephyr]

Because Australia is too far away

[quiet bay]

Makes sense

I guess it all depends on location

I live in the USA so pretty easy shipping

Sucks that your order will come November though

[loud zephyr]

Nah, I'm in no hurry. All good

I have IEM's 90% of the time so I don't really hear the clacking as loudly, and I'm used to it

[finite gate]

anyone got a carbon fibre plate for monsgeek m1w

[vivid jetty]

Is the stem on your keycap loose? Test with other keycaps?

And what's that little additional piece of tape there for, on the switch tape mod? Looks like a piece of masking tape or something?

[loud zephyr]

Could potentially be the keycaps themselves, even GMK isn't immune to faults

https://i.imgur.com/sVefar6.jpeg

[vivid jetty]

My DSA caps I just received have the same issue on a couple keycaps. Stems fit really loosely and makes them look a bit wonky.

[dusky orchid]

Trying L45 L&F on POM plate

[loud zephyr]

How's the sound of the POM plate, or still working in progress?

[azure wren]

I have confirmed the address for many days, but still haven't seen the goods shipped

[loud zephyr]

I've had a warped spacebar and it was so bad it wouldn't rebound properly. Bowl of hot water didn't fit it either, sadge

[azure wren]

😭

anyone know what happen？

[quiet bay]

He uses the masking tape to keep the medical tape on the switch from getting loose

[vivid jetty]

Hmm, I was actually curious about that. I was more concerned about the inside tape getting loose though and interfering with the switch.

[quiet bay]

I dont use the masking tape though, my tape is secure

Also the tape inside doesnt really get loose after its secured

[vivid jetty]

Mine looks secure so far, I guess we'll see. I need to order some new switches anyways since I broke a few tabs on mine.

[loud zephyr]

It won't be much longer, hang in there

[quiet bay]

I honestly dont ever want to do switch tape mod again

It took so long

[azure wren]

[quiet bay]

Does Switch pad foam stickers work with this keyboard?

[fluid ravine]

I see it very well

[fluid ravine]

Yes

[fluid ravine]

No
It's tighter than stock

[feral heart]

Is it possible to maybe solder a JST socket onto the 60HE PCB

[untold wigeon]

For?

[feral heart]

To use with a C3 universal db

idk if it will work though

I think I'll solder on a daughterboard into mine

For uh

Science

[gentle silo]

only one way to find out

[feral heart]

But idk if there are exposed linings to solder it on

[gentle silo]

i also doubt this would work as the daughterboards used still have some components on them that in the case of the wooting would be on the pcb i guess? Dunno if that would create issues

[feral heart]

It could

Although I know some PCB that work with or without a daughterboard

In case of using db. You just break the USB

[gentle silo]

true... waffling60 comes to mind for me, but the jst and type c port on these are still seperated... Tbh im just guessing i dont know shit about stuff like that XD

[feral heart]

The main reason being I wanted to use it with a case design I'm making

I can probably make a one of one custom unit with USB hole on left lmao

KBDfans sell WOoting 60 He plate now

yp

POM CF and FR4

[polar girder]

Dead link for me

Nothing in that description says 60HE compatible that I see tho

[shell crown]

Not dead, it's a real product

[polar girder]

Link doesn’t work for me is all

Oh nvm just have to close the “link invalid” box and it ended up working lol

Curious to buy them both if I had translate on my phone lol

[pale aspen]

but why flex cut on CF and FR4

fr

i dont see why wooting people would want flex cut

[stray tiger]

The flex cuts are a horrible idea. I was noticing the same. It's going to cause acutation issues and people are going to be pissed.

[pale aspen]

just make non flex cut CF plate

and wooting go clack

[stray tiger]

I think this was a big L by kbdfans. Obviously they do not understand how the technology works.

[mental hemlock]

common behavior

[weary tree]

Would screw in stabs from 60he module fit those plates?

[polar girder]

Yeah I noticed those flex cuts

[dapper kernel]

no, because they flex when u press down on any switch

[polar girder]

Makes the plate look sweet lol

But sucks

[daring umbra]

uhh Salvation or Fjell? 🤔

[stray tiger]

Which do you like the look of better?

[daring umbra]

I like the look of the Fjell better but thinking about Salvation's Leafy springy thingy

[stray tiger]

The leaf springs wont matter for the 60HE because the PCB/plate doesnt flex at all (and shouldnt).

[daring umbra]

ahh then should that be a problem for salvation users?

I mean well, if you think about it, the purpose of the salvation is to have it springy

right?

[stray tiger]

Its not a problem for salvation users because they are using traditional mechanical switches where flex has no affect on switch actuation. Thats not the case with the switch & PCB technology utilized by the 60HE. Flex might be good for typing feel, but its bad for magnetic switches.

Thats why up above we were all just saying flex cuts in the plates from KBDfans are a bad idea.

[daring umbra]

I meant for those who had upgraded their wooting60he to salvation case that would be a prob

[weary tree]

Thus is their answer

[stray tiger]

No, having the spring mount wouldnt make the 60HE plates flex because the plates are scewed into the PCB. Think of it like putting a piece of wood inside the case instead of a PCB. The wood wont flex just because mounts under it might be springy.

[stray tiger]

They are wrong. Those cut WILL cause the plate to flex slightly in those areas and it WILL cause the switches to have inconsistent actuation issues. Very rarely am I this adamant about something but I've done this and I know. I've had 5 custom plates made for the 60HE and 2 of them had flex cuts and both caused issues.

My plates were both aluminum but aluminum is 3x as stiff as FR4

[daring umbra]

cause I was thinking like the whole pcb + plate will move like uhh a typewriter

[stray tiger]

Carbon fiber might be ok with the cuts but Im not a fan of CF clacky sound.

[stray tiger]

If the whole unit bounces, thats fine. It wont affect the performance of the 60HE, that's why I said they wont have any issues.

[daring umbra]

hmm so if the whole unit is sort of suspended by the leaves of the salvation would that make the typing feel better or not so much (for wooting)?

[stray tiger]

I'm not sure how much of a difference it would make. It's probably similar to gummy o-ring mounting that also provides a little bounce. It softens it a little but I can't say it's night and day difference.

[marble shuttle]

Do you know why the wooting makes pc plate late? Any news?

[stray tiger]

I havent heard that the PC is late. Pre-orders opened up weeks ago.

[dapper kernel]

[daring umbra]

so I'm watching this review and it shows the movement of the whole unit

https://youtu.be/5-dX0JpWGaU?t=343

[stray tiger]

Yeah, that wont be a problem

[daring umbra]

if you were given a choice between Fjell or Salvation which would you go for? 😅

[stray tiger]

Ive had both, I prefer the Fjell

[marble shuttle]

Too much for alu case i would buy alumaze instead of those

[daring umbra]

was gonna go for KBDfans 5 degrees but there isn't. tho I might have hope from r/mechmarket.

[marble shuttle]

There are options you can buy but imp i wouldnt pay over 200 euros for Just a case

[daring umbra]

yes sounds overkill but just thinking of an endgame 60%

then I would proceed to my 1800 compact

[polar girder]

There’s a guy with a bunch of the KBD low pro’s on mech market

Fjell is the goat IMO

But yeah I just bought the redux lol

Maybe one day

When I also want to drop another $300 on aluminum keycaps

[daring umbra]

yeah I messaged the guy

[polar girder]

:Gigachad:

Nice yeah I messaged them about the acrylic one

[polar girder]

Maybe try it out.

Man yeah I should start saving up for Fjell/alu keycaps lol

$600 NBD

[daring umbra]

My vision is to get the pre-order of the module then the case depends if the 5° is available then I should get that first-if not then the Fjell or Salv

I already have keycaps

[polar girder]

Right on. Yeah I’ll cop the module depending on price

Nice

[daring umbra]

I have Ramenstop for keycaps which was supposedly for a 1800 compact kb

[polar girder]

If it’s too much I’ll just buy the PC plate (I already have 60HE)

[daring umbra]

Fjell Ultramarine would probably look good with those Ramenstop

[cyan adder]

Hey guys I need ur help and knowledge to find my personal keycaps set.

I would like a Ceyment grey like this set, with haragana, it’s perfectly my taste exept i would like some legends on mint green like on the second photo.
If you know a set like this first one but with mint legend I would love to buy it

[daring umbra]

I'm already thinking the module will be as almost priced with the wooting60he

[dapper kernel]

those are katakana not hiragana

[polar girder]

Lol I doubt that. But yeah who knows

[cyan adder]

Sorry 😂😂😂 idk the diff, just loving Japanese things

[weary tree]

Im scared of that too

[polar girder]

Lol they can’t do that

People can buy a 60HE and a PC plate for $200

[daring umbra]

I mean if you think about it the pcb is the core of it.. so like if the 60he is already established. then maybe we can price the module with that-replace the case, keycaps, with foams, plates, maybe a gist of screw-in stabs. (pls dont ban me) 😄

[polar girder]

They still need the module to sell to invest all this time and energy for it

[daring umbra]

😅

[polar girder]

Y’all crazy lol

Switches are $40

Keycaps are $40

Plus then you need a cable

Wooting ofc

Another $40

And that’s not with case yet lol

If it’s over $150 I’m not buying it

And I can’t see many other people buying it above that price either. Just buy a 60HE and mod lol

[daring umbra]

true

but well you have the basis from the 60HE. my guess is from 130$ to 150$

i feel the module is so near like a few days like maybe in 3.. 2..

[glossy pagoda]

Module comes with a basic cable

But the rest of your point is valid... 😛

One of the primary benefits to the module is the fact that it doesn't come with switches so you can pick between the L45 and L60, instead of by default getting L60 and needing to purchase L45 on top of that

[stray tiger]

Id argue that that none of the plastic parts are as expensive as estimated. The case and keycaps are pennies on the dollar when made in bulk.

You can buy both a plastic case and 60% keycap set for under $40

[mental hemlock]

exactly

[daring umbra]

but guys it's wooting!

[mental hemlock]

the question is why does it come with a cable if you're gonna have to provide everything else? unless the cable is dirt cheap

[dapper kernel]

So ppl wont complain about issues that occurs with voltage

[daring umbra]

so basically we can use the module naked just the foam pcb switches and just plug it in

[stray tiger]

Sure you can use it without a case.

[mental hemlock]

sure lol

I wouldn't

[glossy pagoda]

This what Jeroen does

[patent cradle]

Pretty sure every time someone has talked about the cost of the module, we have been told it will be "very close to the 60he pricing" from the team.

[mental hemlock]

unfortunate

[mental hemlock]

long time no see

[patent cradle]

I'm always here 🙂 I try to keep up-to-date with everything.

[stray tiger]

I think its more in the context of very close to the 60HE pricing minus the switches. The plastic parts arent that expensive so not getting the case and stock keycaps isnt a huge cost savings.

[mental hemlock]

I think I'm gonna go with Gateron's orange KS-20 switches.

[patent cradle]

And I 100% agree on that front. Especially with the module coming with both plates and included screw in stabs. It's going to be competitively priced and I believe will have specific discounts when packaged with other items.

[stray tiger]

I think you mean both foams, not plates

but yes agree'

[marble shuttle]

Go White ones

[patent cradle]

Sorry you're right. Both foams*

[mental hemlock]

too light

[marble shuttle]

Rgb is verru shit on oranges

[mental hemlock]

won't use it

[marble shuttle]

Hmm

Make sense

[stray tiger]

I dont use the RGb either but Im not a good enough FPS player anymore to use RGB

[marble shuttle]

Iam into aesthetic more than rgb

[fair mountain]

Would buying the switch and module cost almost the same as 60he?right?

[patent cradle]

We won't fully know until the module and all information about discounts gets released.

I jumped straight into a 60he after seeing the "similarly priced" messages and I'm not disappointed at all. Actually pretty happy I have two sets of switches just in case.

[daring umbra]

I'm all in for it. for the hard-working wooting team! woot woot!

[stray tiger]

As with any product that allows customization, it'll always be cheaper to buy the pre-made kit instead of piecing together something together exactly as you want it.

[patent cradle]

Will people be disappointed? More than likely. But people get disappointed for anything and everything now-a-days. All I have to say is it is good to have the available options that Wooting is providing. I haven't seen a more supportive team than I have from Wooting (i.e. being on Discord and responding to our repetitive questions).

[daring umbra]

I mean people can just buy the premade

[daring umbra]

feels good

[daring umbra]

wait what? so meaning there are other Magnetic Hall Sensor Switches?

[polar girder]

Yes

https://gateron.com/products/gateron-ks-20-magnetic-white-switch-set?VariantsId=10690

So four options for Wooting switches that I’m aware of

[stray tiger]

Gateron builds the lekker switches for wooting as well so they apparently decided to offer some different gram weight choices and colors

[polar girder]

Lekker l45, l60, gateron ks-20 orange, white.

Yeah all variations of an identical switch basically

[daring umbra]

woah thanks for this

I think I'll go for the L45 still

[stray tiger]

It'll likely be cheaper buying them from Wooting if you're buying them along with the module just from a shipping perspective

[daring umbra]

yes everything from Wooting except the case 🥶 ⛰️

[polar girder]

Lol yeah same

[daring umbra]

wait so you have Fjell, did you get the Mekanisk Dampening foam?

[polar girder]

I got the l45’s before I was aware of module

Waiting for module announce now

[daring umbra]

👀

[stray tiger]

Yes, Ive got a stack of their foam. Ive owned or own probably 6 Mekanisk cases

[daring umbra]

did you use 2 stack of foams for W60HE in Fjell or 1?

[stray tiger]

It comes as a pack of 2. The older stacks were the same thickness and the newer stacks have different thicknesses. Give me a min and Ill see if I can snag a picture

To answer your question though, I dont usually use foam in aluminum cases. I prefer fiberfill or silicone

[stray tiger]

Not sure if this helps or not but you the top 3 foams are mekanisk and you can see them compared to other foams from stupidfish, Tofu60, silicone etc

[daring umbra]

did you do the silicone or was it bought?

[stray tiger]

Its not a pour, its a pre-cut silicone pad

[daring umbra]

i've searched and people do recommend stupidfish too

Man I'm overwhelmed with all the information today. my brain is about to 🤯 haha

thanks @stray tiger 💯

[stray tiger]

Try not to overthink it. Take it one step at a time. Get your board or piece together your module, case, switches and keycaps and then you can look at mods. The module comes with 2 different dampening materials (silicone and foam) so you can already swap them around and see which you like best.

Check the https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399 for some good information as well as the Wooting official youtube channel. A lot of the stuff you read online doesnt apply or isnt needed for the 60HE.

[daring umbra]

It's been almost a year thinking to build a 1800 compact kb endgame. then I saw wooting-ignored it for a bit cause my head was fixed for 1800 . then I thought of my actual purpose of getting a kb was to game. 🤓 then everything escalated to this. and now I can't stop aaaa

thanks again!

[uneven thunder]

should i go with a gray case and black keycaps or black case with gray keycaps?

[stray tiger]

yes

[mental hemlock]

up to youj

We can show you pictures of black on black and grey on grey. Im sure someone has the other options you asked about.

[torpid crow]

this thing sounds incredble in the acrylic tofu60, cannot wait to use a pc plate

[stray tiger]

Grab this purple instead

[vernal grove]

which gasket mounted case are you using?

[quiet bay]

330 dollars is wild

[stray tiger]

There are a few options you can choose but all of them require a custom plate. I've gasket or top mounted the 60HE on 4-5 different cases

[vernal grove]

im using the psd60 gasket rn, but the stabs slot for the spacebar is so loose, but the plate file isnt available online so its hard to make a custom one

[floral fern]

Where did you get the cable?

[stray tiger]

Ahh I've used the Hive60, Frog mini, Raindrop 60 and Sirius 60 @vernal grove

[stray tiger]

https://wiredinstore.com/

[floral fern]

Appreciated!!!

[stray tiger]

I know the owner and he is a great guy. My personal recommendation.

[torpid crow]

if i use switch pads that are 0.5mm will it change my actuation distances

[vernal grove]

oof, i highly doubt i could find anyone selling those rn lmao

well, frog mini is still in stock, but the other ones arent

[stray tiger]

It won't change your distance as the switches are calibrated during power on but if the pads are squishy it can create inconsistent actuations. If you must have pads, thinner and harder is better.

[stray tiger]

Frog mini is not really gasket, since it uses tadpoles but I didn't love how it sounded with the 60HE. I still have my frog mini but it's with a half plate and the stock PCB.

[vernal grove]

gotchu. did you have to get a custom plate for the hive 60?

[stray tiger]

Yes but I have the CAD files for it and the Raindrop 60 (and frog) if you pick one up.

[vernal grove]

perfect, ill lyk

[stray tiger]

Dropping it here now just in case (see what I did there?)

why

i want mine in porpol

[jovial idol]

I want coffee themed setup

tbf i could just enter the protagonist60 gb

I'm using a skypad yume rn so purple is just like

So different

Dat price though

[plain topaz]

Gray/Silver or Black coiled cable with these keycaps?

[loud zephyr]

Black coiled for me but both would look good imo

[stray tiger]

I've seen one of his other boards and they looked nice. I'm sure this one would be too.

[loud zephyr]

The 9 degree angle is kinda scary and I'm not a fan of wrist rest. Genelec coating could also be cool

[jovial idol]

#1149670739860000851

[fluid ravine]

its cool

matches your deskt mat

[quiet bay]

that thing looks thicc

[jovial idol]

Desk mat kinda sucks ass

Too short

No depth

[loud zephyr]

I think the back end gives the illusion of it being thick due to increased typing angle. Top and side borders aren't too chonky

[gaunt linden]

What are some good options for keycaps?

Are dye-sub pbt keycaps better than doubleshot pbt?

[polar girder]

damn these premium cases go hard

protagonist 60 is crazy

[quiet bay]

other way around

[polar girder]

with underglow? gd

[gaunt linden]

Oh ok thank you !

Also Can someone give me some tips on making the wooting Sounds better please?

[quiet bay]

2 simple mods that will make it alot better but takes a long time
Lube it
Switch Tape mod it to get rid of chatter (I used nexcare gentle paper tape) https://discordapp.com/channels/167181566978555904/984799440072220692/1134880533961252874

[gaunt linden]

Thank you very much !

[quiet bay]

I suggest doing them both at the same time

also I used two layers of the tape for each switch on each side

[gaunt linden]

Thank you,

You mean lube and doing the tape mod ?

[quiet bay]

switch tape mod

[fluid ravine]

its in the explaination

[loud zephyr]

I'd wait and see the sound tests for Wooting's PC plate, as this will be the most signifant mod for those who want a more subdued sound; as well as softer typing experience. It's hard to escape the harshness of the stock steel plate, no matter how much you mod switches; stabs etc.
You can gain some improvements by doing the most common mods, but if you're pulling everything apart you may as well wait and see what the PC plate is like.

[fluid ravine]

[polar girder]

oh fk. i just discovered geek hack

now i'm in too deep

[dapper kernel]

[jovial idol]

Found it years ago but i stopped myself

[narrow saffron]

when using switch tape mod can you use switch pads and films too?

[vivid jetty]

You can use films, not sure about switch pads though. I don't think switch pads would work, but someone with more experience may know for sure.

Films don't exactly fit great though, the lekker switches are thick bois.

[gaunt linden]

Are the Gateron KS-20’s better Than the lekkers 45(L45) Switches ?

[untold wigeon]

i think theyre harder to press

than the l45

[gaunt linden]

Oh ok sounds good Thank you for the advice!

[untold wigeon]

there like 50g i think

the force to press

[gaunt linden]

Oh i see

[elder hollow]

made in Finland you say? 🤔

shame it's a bit overpriced

[fringe forge]

anybody here get the tofu 60 redux?

i have mine and is it normal for the sides to have some gaps in between the keyboard and the case

[loud zephyr]

And it doesn't even come with a PCB but either way, it's super expensive for a tray mount

[elder hollow]

it's normal

[elder hollow]

Yeah. I'm really bad with my money but I still can't see myself paying 300 euros for a case

[fringe forge]

thought so, just kinda looked a bit odd

but its not that noticeable

[elder hollow]

Yeah you'll forget about it in a while. It's the same with OG tofu60 and redux

[fringe forge]

this is a overhead pic so u cant really see the gap on the spacebar side

ill share a pic of my wooting later

[loud zephyr]

Good choice. The keyboard rabbit hole will swallow you up if it smells blood

I do like Baion's designs though, very consistent themes throughout

[fringe forge]

leaving that aside, any good ideas to get rid of the slight pingy/hollow sound of the tofu 60 case?

[elder hollow]

They do look nice

[fringe forge]

im new to modding and all so i dont know what we do

theres some foam i can put in, it came in the packaging of the tofu case

ive lubed the keeb too, albeit the jobs not excellent

[loud zephyr]

This one is a good place to start, there's quite a few on Youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igy_n3f7VeI&pp=ygUUYmFkc2VlZCB0ZWNoIHdvb3Rpbmc%3D

[elder hollow]

you didn't put any foam in there? that helps a bunch already

[fringe forge]

i did, its a thin piece that came with the redux

i was thinking of putting the original wooting foam in too, but it was really thick

[elder hollow]

alright 👍

[fringe forge]

and i didnt wanna damage anything by having to apply force when screwing the pcb in

[elder hollow]

it does fit and makes it sound a bit softer

[fringe forge]

is it alright if i have to press it down quite a bit to screw it in?

[elder hollow]

yeah it is

i had the wooting foam in my first tofu case, but wanted to try the tofu foam that came with redux. It does sound a bit pingier but I don't mind myself 😄 doesn't sound horrible

[loud zephyr]

Here's BadSeedTech's update specific to modding the Redux

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLhoW5R21_g&t=265s

[fringe forge]

yeah its not that bad

the wooting case if i remember has 2 layers, ones got a shorter width

can you seperate those 2 layers?

ill just pop in the bigger piece

foam btw*

[loud zephyr]

Try it out anyways, tray mount cases are easy to work with

[fringe forge]

not case

alright

i also remember there was a golden screw i put in the middle of the case

its called a plate stabilizer or something?

is that necessary

[loud zephyr]

That's the standoff that screws into the Redux which aligns with the bottom screw from the Wooting

Around the spacebar area I think

[fringe forge]

yeah

these two

[loud zephyr]

Correct

[elder hollow]

I didn't even put those things in

[fringe forge]

i think i put the lower one on

what about tape mod

i have some masking tape

not painters tape

is that fine to put

and does it produce any change

[loud zephyr]

I haven't tried the tape mod but I'd imagine it would have a bit of impact in softening the sound

[fringe forge]

alright ty, ill put in the wooting foam later

[loud zephyr]

The burger mount is definitely worth doing but will require a couple parts; ideally you want M2x6mm screws which makes life easier installing the O-rings

[velvet egret]

Does Anyone know if i can Burger mount my Ducky keyboard in the mean time?

[loud zephyr]

Which model is it?

[velvet egret]

Ducky one 2 mini .. its an old version so siwtches are solderd

[loud zephyr]

If it's a tray mount with standoffs similar to the Wooting then I see no reason why you can't try burger mounting

Ignore the arrows

[velvet egret]

Okki nice Thanks! yeah it uses like pastic standoff looking things that are molded to the case so believe that should work

@loud zephyr Would you know what kind of screws/o rings i would need?

[loud zephyr]

Without knowing the exact dimension of Ducky's screws, it's hard to recommend. These are the O-Rings I use with M2x6mm screws on my Wooting

[velvet egret]

Thanks

[prisma timber]

Does anyone know when the 60he module is coming out?

[velvet egret]

Pre-order should be somewhere in September if all goes to plan

[prisma timber]

Ok thanks

[sand oasis]

yeh you can

thats what i had to do to fit the wooting foam

[lost bolt]

My Tofu Redux still hasnt shipped

f

[velvet egret]

Sameeeeeeeee

Kinda getting annoyed now

[shell crown]

Copy pasta

[pine marsh]

Is that custom leather work?

[weary tree]

Nah guitar strap

[shell crown]

I'll get custom leather work soon I hope so

[pine marsh]

That’s a great use of a guitar strap

[velvet egret]

At This rate my Alumaze might get here before my Tofu does xD

[quartz current]

i m no fan of the Wooting straps, but that is pretty dope not gonna lie

[untold wigeon]

Hi

I recently got my Wooting 60he and I’m using it for gaming and was wondering if there’s any performance mods that can be made to it

[polar girder]

Wootility customizations

No hardware improvements to be made unless you view lighter springs as performance mod

Then buy l45 switches

But most mods are not for performance but for personal preference of feel, sound and aesthetics.

[untold wigeon]

Okay thank you

I’ve been thinking about getting lighter switches just yo try them out

[polar girder]

You can buy a 12-pack for $10 before shipping

Not bad

Covers WASD and some action keys

[untold wigeon]

Yea I was gonna try that

[fringe forge]

did u install it along with the tofu foam?

[quick python]

i lubed all my switches and staibilaizers a week or two ago. They sound stock again? any advice?

[fringe forge]

@elder hollow @loud zephyr just installed the wooting foam too and it sounds so much better,

i did have to squeeze a bit to be able to screw it in

but after 2 screws the other got in just fine

it really is fine right if we have to push like that to be able to screw the keyboard into the case right? dont wanna damage anything

[fluid ravine]

Better to not use films with masking tape
But with medical tape it fine
And yes you can use switch pads
Perfectly fine

Already tested

[stray tiger]

You dont wanrt to cause the PCb to bend or warper any, that will cause issues and personally I like to leave a little breathing room between the PCB and case foam just to keep the heat down.

[stray tiger]

Can you send us a before and after sound video?

[sleek trench]

I messaged support to ask for an update and they shipped it out next day if that helps (For reference I ordered mine mid august)

[velvet egret]

Does anyone in here know if these plates actually work?

I see that they just added this recently

[weary tree]

no idea

people are scare since they have felx cuts in them

flex

[fringe forge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/876917471850938388.gif?size=48&name=monkashake&quality=lossless

how tight is too tight?

in the case of breathing space

[velvet egret]

Hmm alright.. Better just wait i guess till someone tries this

[weary tree]

yeah exactly

[stray tiger]

Probably depends on how much of an insulator the material is 🙂

[gentle silo]

ive seen these on taobao. The FR4 and CF plate have flexcuts which could cause some issues. The POM Plate is solid tho and should work no problem (source i also used a pom plate in my wooting without any issues)

[stray tiger]

Id avoid the FR4 and CF plates like the plague

[fringe forge]

im just using the wooting stock foam (i split the 2 pieces and am using the bigger one) alongside the very thin tofu foam

and the case is tofu 60 redux

is that too much?

[velvet egret]

The POM Plate for thock should be fine to use?

[gentle silo]

altho im positive that the cf plate could be fine as its pretty stiff, but only one way to find out...

[stray tiger]

I dont own a Tofu Redux but if the area is the same as the original Tofu then the single foam should be fine. 2 might be much

[gentle silo]

yea that would prolly be the best option

[stray tiger]

No flex cuts in the POM plate so should be fine.

[velvet egret]

Alrighty thanks guys

[stray tiger]

It might be fine, the FR4 I can almost guarantee would be a problem. Also the truth is, even with flex cuts they might be fine if you turn down your sensitivity. Flex cuts and trying to run a .2mm sen is going to cause problems

[polar girder]

Who is they

[velvet egret]

KBDFans

[polar girder]

Oh for redux?

Interesting

[velvet egret]

yeah but you cant purchase it seperatly

[polar girder]

Oh damn lol weird

[velvet egret]

yeah just saw..

[stray tiger]

They added 3 different 60HE plates in different materials but 2 of the plates have flex cuts in them making the point of the stand-offs useless

[polar girder]

I wait for module anyway. Will eventually want to try aluminum plate tho.

[velvet egret]

nvm i found it https://kbdfans.com/collections/plate/products/compatible-accessories-for-wooting-60he

[polar girder]

Right yeah

So POM maybe

[velvet egret]

The module will come POM plate no?

[polar girder]

If I got an acrylic case I might try Pom plate

Module with PC I believe

Different plastic lol

[velvet egret]

But both creat thock?
