...

oh

yea, in hindsight, it may have been a waste of time

[stray tiger]

Learning is never a waste, you never know when you'll need that random fact about acoustic noise cancellation or frequency response that you learned years ago 🙂

[stoic seal]

another question though, would polycarbonate keycaps or polyoxymethylene keycaps let more light through?

[stoic seal]

true, true, could be a cool topic to bring up in a job interview to showcase knowledge of multiple concepts

[stray tiger]

Thats less of a material question and more of a manufacturing and thickness question.

[stoic seal]

yea

im comparing 1.45mm pom jelly keycaps and glorious' polychroma polycarbonate keycaps

[austere creek]

i know how noise cancelling works thanks to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNUuU4HXxPc

[hushed valley]

what difference does lubing the stabilizers make

[stray tiger]

You see. Tony has been saving that link for 2 years now to share for something exactly like this.

[stoic seal]

idk the thickness of the polychroma ones though

[stray tiger]

Thats actually pretty good haha

[stoic seal]

now that i use open back headphones, i dont want to go back to anc headphones

[austere creek]

thats... not what the sketch is about but ok

[stoic seal]

oh

noice cancelling headphones make it harder to hear my environ and my keyboard

[stray tiger]

I cant help you there unfortunately

[austere creek]

also not what its about

lol

[stoic seal]

like imagine paying 300 dollars for a custom mech and then using noise cancelling headphones and not hearing your keyboard

oh well

[stray tiger]

They cant hear you right now, you're wearing your headphones

[stoic seal]

im not talking aboiut the video

buts it really funny

i watch their videos here and there

the pan man

[stray tiger]

Not everyone who spends good money for a keyboard cares about the sound. People will spend hundreds and then spend even more to make the keyboard as quiet as possible. Feel, looks and features may mean as much or even more than sound for some people

[stoic seal]

true

its really all preference

[stoic seal]

i used to enjoy the idea of having the most quiet keyboard possible

[untold wigeon]

why do i find this so cool

it prolly costs like 500$

[fluid ravine]

oH hOnEy
I'm HoMe

[stoic seal]

if its angry miao, it'll be more than that

[stray tiger]

Plus sound is very subjective and personal. What I find pleasant my gf thinks is annoying and what my daughter thinks sounds great is absolutely ear bleeding to me

[untold wigeon]

damn

[fluid ravine]

hi tirade

[stoic seal]

and if its keychron then it'll probably be around 150 usd

[fluid ravine]

helo mert

halo bread

[stoic seal]

hi

[stray tiger]

Afternoon @fluid ravine

[untold wigeon]

holy wth

angry miao r like 500+ some

thats CRAZY

anyweys

[stoic seal]

they're luxury boards

from what i hear

[lost bolt]

https://akkogear.de/products/acr-pro-alice-plus-mechanical-keyboard that goes in the same direction

[stoic seal]

130e?

[untold wigeon]

surprisingly not that much

[stoic seal]

for the transparent white

[untold wigeon]

these shapes look expensive

whats the benefit?

[stoic seal]

what he saifd

ergonomics

[untold wigeon]

i bet thatd be nice if ud be a coder or smth

and just typing all day

[stoic seal]

basically your wrists remain in a more natural position

[lost bolt]

its better for ur hands

[stoic seal]

*and neutral

[fluid ravine]

what we talking about

[stoic seal]

wouldn't it be cool if wooting had a steno board that had rapid trigger?

and definitely not an excuse to make a keypad for 7k+ rhythm games

[untold wigeon]

i was thinking abt saying tjis but the hall effect would be weird

cuz different elevations

the one i sent is flat tho nvm

i find the ones that curve cool

[stoic seal]

that could be solved by changing the pcb's angle

or just making folded (?) pcb

like this

if this were it's side view

i guess

[untold wigeon]

do u know abt keycaps

?

[stoic seal]

abs?

[untold wigeon]

any type

i have 2 similar sets, 1 75$, other 20$, both same style, same material

i wanna know whats the benefit

and if its worth it

[stoic seal]

they're less dense than pbt, so they let more light through on shine thru keycaps but have a higher sound

the price you pay is for the quality

[untold wigeon]

ik this abt abs and pbt

[stoic seal]

or the brand

like gmk

[untold wigeon]

but they look the same and same material

so idk

[stoic seal]

usually its the quality, sometimes its the thickness,

[untold wigeon]

https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-doubleshot-wob

https://www.yong-qiu.com/products/wob-bow-keycap?variant=41971199770804#

[stoic seal]

also possible because of doubleshot or dye sub

[untold wigeon]

theyre both doubleshot

as well

[stoic seal]

branding probably

[untold wigeon]

BORING

everyone has that

its nice though

[stoic seal]

this

blank is ok

i know my keyboard layout pretty well

[untold wigeon]

i wanted to buy these gmk keycaps+concrete alumaze

wouldve looked cool asf but wouldnt match my setup

so i went with black redux+some wob keycaps

[lost bolt]

broo my redux came today

kinda pog

[stray tiger]

When you're talking about PBT keycaps, you will typically pay more for thicker higher quality keycaps with better legends, better quality control, better fit and more layout choices. Im not saying $100 PBT keycaps are worth the upgrade over $20 PBT keycaps, thats a personal preference.

[stoic seal]

what is the best 3rd party plate mount stabs for the 60he?

that i can get on amazon

[bronze grove]

The ones you already have.

There isn't really any noticeable improvement from swapping these.

[stoic seal]

ok

it just seems that my stabilizers feel terrible before and after modding them

[untold wigeon]

it was this btw

[stoic seal]

they're quite rattly, so i was thinking that new ones might have the better qc and tolerances

[stray tiger]

What mods have you done? All the stock ones really need is a good lubing 99% of the time

[stoic seal]

that remove that issue

i lubed and bandaid modded them

im too lazy to do a full on holee mod

[stray tiger]

What lube did you use on the wires?

[stoic seal]

glorious glube since that's all i had

although dielectric grease should do a better job im hoping

[stray tiger]

Thats your problem

[stoic seal]

they might not have been viscous enough to stay on the stabs

[stray tiger]

You need a good grease for the wires. Spend $5 and get some good grease and dont get new stabs

[stoic seal]

ok

[stray tiger]

Are you in the US?

[stoic seal]

i also find that the black stabs mismatch with my entire board since i have spray painted my keyboard white

[stoic seal]

yea

so something clear like these might look better

[stray tiger]

You can get some good grease from any autoparts store

[stoic seal]

yea

but for me, itll take me a good half hour walk there

so ordering online is better

[stray tiger]

This is what I use - https://www.amazon.com/Super-Lube-21030-Synthetic-Grease/dp/B000XBH9HI/ref=sr_1_6

[stoic seal]

i was thinking ofpermatex

what do the numbers even mean anyway?

do they indicate thickness?

[stray tiger]

Permatex will work good also, but for $10 the superlube stuff is just as good and youll get 5x as much

[stoic seal]

ok

[stray tiger]

https://www.super-lube.com/Content/Images/uploaded/documents/TDS/Technical_Data_Sheet_Multi_Purpose_Grease.pdf

[cedar widget]

How to connect with my phone

[stoic seal]

oh

so it indicates what product it is

i was looking for ngli 2 rating

[bronze grove]

Connect what?

[stoic seal]

type c to type c connector?

wait

[stoic seal]

this one

any other modding stuff i should get?

[stray tiger]

Let us know how it turns out

[stoic seal]

sure

[fluid ravine]

burger mount?

or you already did it

or i dont know

[stray tiger]

I suggest starting with lube and going from there.

More is less! err Less is more!

[stoic seal]

im looking to make really creamy and thocky wooting

[fluid ravine]

MORE IS MORE

:D

[stoic seal]

so wouldn't burger mount reduce the sound?

[fluid ravine]

isolate

i think thats the word 🤔

[stray tiger]

Im not sure what creamy sounds like but with the stock 60HE, getting a deep sound isnt going to be easy.

[stoic seal]

ill do what i can

[fluid ravine]

creamy is prob a pipe dream

[stray tiger]

burger mount is meant to provide isolation https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399

[fluid ravine]

i knew i use the wrong word
i hate english >:((

wheres the dictionary when i need it

[stray tiger]

I wish someone could clearly explain to me what creamy sounds like. I know what is feels like but Ive never heard of a texture being used to describe a sound.

[fluid ravine]

i can find a sound test for u

oh explain

dont ask me :]

[frosty mortar]

Any Backlit white GMK keycaps that goes well with the 60he ?

[stray tiger]

For example, I know when people say thocky they mean deeper sounding and clacky or poppy is higher sounding. Creamy is just dumb

[stray tiger]

GMK doesnt have any backlit keycaps

[stoic seal]

yea, i mostly mean thocky by that

but i would like to have a lot of sound clarity when typing

so its whatever

honestly

[fluid ravine]

Creamy to me is like pebbles smacking against each other and stirring clam chowder
thats what pops up in my head when i think of it
i mean i had achieved it in my spare keyboard

[frail wren]

glad I checked the faq I almost forgot to order longer mounting screws 😄

[frosty mortar]

Can you direct me with a good quality keycapse that goes well with the 60he ? this is my first custom keyboard ^^"

[stoic seal]

i do appreciate the help and the suggestions though

[fluid ravine]

But yes i do agree creamy is kinda dumb

[normal schooner]

welcome murray 🙂

[stoic seal]

if i do go with a burger mount, should i order some m2x6 screws?

[fluid ravine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CorB0q9QImw like this my brain just goes haywire

[stray tiger]

There are literally 10000's of keycaps. It's a personal preference. The only advice I can give you is stay away from trying to match gray and beige. Everything else is fair game

[frosty mortar]

Thanks ❤️

[fluid ravine]

i like it an all but like is it creamy though?
it sounds marbly to me

[stoic seal]

same

eh, the creamy part doesn take first priority

[fluid ravine]

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

another one

like ???

[stoic seal]

should i relube my switches with g205g0?

[stray tiger]

If youre happy with how they feel and sound then no

The term "creamy" is primarily used to describe textures, especially in the context of food. However, when used to describe a sound, it's a bit more abstract. Here's an attempt to explain:

When someone says a sound is "creamy," they are often referring to a sound that is:

1. Smooth: There are no abrupt changes or sharp edges to the sound. It flows seamlessly from one note or tone to the next.

2. Rich: The sound has depth and fullness. It's not thin or weak but has a certain weight or body to it.

3. Warm: The sound is not harsh or cold. It has a comforting, enveloping quality to it.

4. Velvety: Similar to smoothness, but with an added sense of luxury or plushness to the sound.

5. Consistent: There aren't many fluctuations or interruptions. The sound maintains its character throughout.

In music, a "creamy" sound might be used to describe a guitar tone that is smooth and sustained without any sharpness. In vocals, it could describe a voice that is rich and velvety without any jarring qualities.

It's worth noting that "creamy" as a descriptor for sound is subjective and can vary based on individual interpretation. It's more of a feeling or sensation that the sound evokes rather than a precise, measurable quality.

thank you chatgpt

[fluid ravine]

Oh shi thats a good explaination

[stoic seal]

yea

[fluid ravine]

anyways
i still dont even think it can be achieve with 60he

;-;

[stray tiger]

They could have summed it up with "It's worth noting that "creamy" as a descriptor for sound is subjective and can vary based on individual interpretation. It's more of a feeling or sensation that the sound evokes rather than a precise, measurable quality"

[stoic seal]

im not sure if its the switch itself or the lubing process is what causes the weird noise from the switch

on the upstroke that is

[stray tiger]

Might not be either. Could just be the plate. Can you send us a sound clip?

[stoic seal]

sure

[fluid ravine]

its the stem making contact with the top housing

[stray tiger]

Im going to start saying things like buttery, velvety and plush

[fluid ravine]

the spring and the contact with stem and top housing are mostly the reason why theres a chattery sound

[stoic seal]

this

oh well

is there anyway to fix it?

[fluid ravine]

ughhhh i hateee doing this switch tape mod advertisment thingggg
thats why i want pochizo to do it 😂

[stoic seal]

what is the mod?

[fluid ravine]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

i dont remember if i have a before and after but lemme look for it

[stoic seal]

ok

thank you so much

[fluid ravine]

i found it

[shell crown]

Its annoying yeah

[fluid ravine]

holy shi-

#1121619438903513099 message

note

this has different mods during the time
but focus on the switch chatter

not the whole profile

[fluid ravine]

this is right now (I just recorded this)

[stoic seal]

jesus christ i love that sound

i should make a todo list before i forgot

[stray tiger]

Its got a nice low poppiness. Not clacky and not thocky. A nice in-between

[stoic seal]

yea

[fluid ravine]

❤️

hardwork

[stoic seal]

and now imma make it a "tad" bit more thocky

so i got all i need in the amazon cart then

[fluid ravine]

waiting for the pc plate wahhooooo

[stoic seal]

i guess

[stoic seal]

samee

i love wooting

[lilac island]

sounds nice whats your current setup ?

[stray tiger]

Ive got 2 60HE's and Ive done a lot of mods but I wouldnt say either of them turned out deep sounding. Here is a test I just recorded of both

[fluid ravine]

oh also another note
this is what i learned from my own personal experience (idk if it suppose to work like this in general) but
when doing the tempest mod i notice somethings
no layers it sounds quiet, gives out a clean clack, its more on the clack side than thock just by a little bit
1 layer it gave it more of the "umph" sound of thocc, just a little but technically its a little bit louder than without any layers which i like
2 or 3 layers, for some damn reason, it so F loud (imo) but it also gives out full clack. No hollowness that can provide thocc.
with steel plate btw

i have 1 layer rn

[fluid ravine]

im wondering
what mic are you using, no hate

[lilac island]

how safe is the tape mod for the 60he as it generates heat ?

[fluid ravine]

depending on what type of tape it is
masking tape is fine
but i think electrical tape is too thick

[stray tiger]

The mic on my webcam its a razer kiyo

[fluid ravine]

[lilac island]

yeah i have the blue 3m masking tape

[fluid ravine]

yeah thats fine

just dont put the tape on top of the pcb...

i dont remember who tf was thinking about that but that was a dumb idea

[normal schooner]

nice emote

[fluid ravine]

Lol its the server's

Supa Giga Chad

[stray tiger]

I need to get one of those super streamer mics and be like the cool kids.

[fluid ravine]

yaaasirrrr

im working on mine but im not a audio engineer so idk shi

[normal schooner]

just get an elgato

and an elgato stream deck

[shell crown]

Hyperx one that has headpat to mute

[fluid ravine]

this is my sound test with my mic software setup for my vc

[untold wigeon]

Wave 3s one of the best mics I’ve ever used for streaming/gaming

[fluid ravine]

ah yes the clacks 😂

[polar girder]

Fifine k688 slaps

[fluid ravine]

im using a blue yeti ;-;

[polar girder]

Could be worse

[fluid ravine]

ya

should i do a sound test of my mic

[polar girder]

Lol

If you want to

[fluid ravine]

someone send me a script

i shall read it

fina read it like a robot

[polar girder]

“Hi this is mini tenz jr and this is a sound test with my blue yeti. Please let me tell you about my Wooting and its mods. Please let me tell you about switch taping. My name is mini tenz jr and thank you for coming to my mic test“

[hushed valley]

is there a best lube for the 60he or is it all preference

and what difference does changing the switch spring make

heard the lubing guide mention it

[fluid ravine]

IT SO HARD TO READ WHY IS ENGLISH SO DIFICULT

im stuttering

[polar girder]

lol sorry bro

[fluid ravine]

u gud

its just me

[fluid ravine]

now my jaws are chattering for some reason

https://tenor.com/view/dog-chattering-teeth-hatsandcats-gif-22848421

[hushed valley]

You sound sick

[frail wren]

script said mic test not sound test

record again

[fluid ravine]

IM SORRYRYY

😭

IT SAYS SOUND TEST

[fluid ravine]

there happy?

[frail wren]

yes

very

[fluid ravine]

i can stop now?

:)

[quiet bay]

did u make it so that you sound like a tiktok voiceover

[stray tiger]

That's his normal voice

[quiet bay]

It sounds normal and robotic at the same time

[quiet bay]

Probably this

[fluid ravine]

you found it!
but yes that is my normal voice just reading it like a robot
i was stuttering a little so i had to re attempt a few times

[quiet bay]

Your voice is deep

You are not no 14 year old

[fluid ravine]

i swear i am

[stray tiger]

I will say that I won't be buying a blue yeti mic if it makes my voice sound robotic like that

[fluid ravine]

don't
buy a different mic, there's alot better ones out there.
And no it doesn't make your voice sound robotic 😂 its just me

its good if you tune it with softwares or whatever
but i still wouldnt buy it especially how old it is
there are worst though i say that

[cyan adder]

Hey. I’m lubing my wooting 60he rn. I don’t have molkyote but only krytox 205G0. Some people told me I can use it on the stabilizers too. Can I use it on all the stabilizers ? I mean even the long metal bar ? Or only on housing ?

[fluid ravine]

Yeah you can use it for the whole stab

[hushed valley]

Wooting lube tutorial video says not to tho?

[fluid ravine]

Doesn't mean you can't

[cyan adder]

yeah ive heard somewhere that its not recommended thats why im asking. But i trust tenz jr more lol hes literally killing everything in this discord

also my stabilizers housing isnt as lube as optimumtech or badseetech shows in their videos so

[quiet bay]

205g0 a bit too thin for the wire

[fluid ravine]

but do prefer molkyote, permatex and some others

[cyan adder]

there is literally 0 lube popping off the stabs

[fluid ravine]

yeah its better if its thicker

[cyan adder]

ill just use krytox for all

[fluid ravine]

oh shi i replied to wrong person my fault

i mean fyi yeah

[fluid ravine]

They didn't say to not use krytox 205g0 for the wire
they said not to use molkyote for the housings

[cyan adder]

also i have some 105 oil. Do you know how much i should put in the bag for bag lubing 61 switches

[glacial wind]

Few good drops is enough

[cyan adder]

xd its not accurate

like 10 drops?

[fluid ravine]

i guess like 6-12 drops

10 drops is fine

[glacial wind]

Depends how big your drops are really, and no 10 is way more than you need lol

Nothing wrong with 10 but you’re just wasting oil at that point

[fluid ravine]

unless you reuse the bag for another time lol

[glacial wind]

5 should be plenty if you want a random number

[cyan adder]

well ill put 7

its mid way to 10

xd

[glacial wind]

I believe 7 is more than mid way but whatever you want I guess

[cyan adder]

stressed its my first time modding a keybooard

[fluid ravine]

i lube my bowl and put all the springs in there just mix like crazy even though i know it will barely does the job
then just lube the ends manually afterwards

[cyan adder]

both ends?

[fluid ravine]

should watch a show or entertain yourself as time pass by

[cyan adder]

i thought bag lubing was enough

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[glacial wind]

Er just use a bag- it’s good enough

[fluid ravine]

no no
i dont have 105
so i use 205g0

with 105 you bag lube

[cyan adder]

i cant im adhd i can only focus on the live or on the lubing job xd

[fluid ravine]

rip

[cyan adder]

its fine being focus on lubing is a good hobby

i mean i like manual jobs like this as long as i can do anything else than taking care of my kids or working xd

[glacial wind]

it takes like 3-4 hours your first time lubing switches - might be a bit rough there with nothing else to entertain you

[cyan adder]

i was aiming 6 hours

im done lubing 40ish switches lol took me less than an hour without the springs

idk

[untold wigeon]

first time i lubed switches it took me 8 hrs LMFAO

[cyan adder]

maybe im too fast

[untold wigeon]

I hated it so much

[cyan adder]

i coulod do it all day

and getting paid for that

[shell crown]

I love lubing switches

So calming

[untold wigeon]

i told myself id never mod another keyboard after that... and here i am waiting to mod my wooting

[cyan adder]

im going back to the lube thanks for answring

[fluid ravine]

took me 12 hrs 💀

[hushed valley]

https://youtu.be/WN_-GYLTfpY?t=60

timestamp

[fluid ravine]

i already watched it

oh i skipped that part

Well i disagree

[untold wigeon]

i bought the lube set that wooting offers so i should be good

[hushed valley]

Does it like matter at all

is it just preference

[fluid ravine]

"Should not" i could see what he meant by it but it doesn't mean you can't
You shouldn't use it because its thin and it could be a waste of lube. It's not a bad thing but it's just a waste since it cost like "alot"

[fluid ravine]

mmmmm ig

[fluid ravine]

it shouldn't matter
i just dont like how he said "Should not" just to make people like confused or like "YOU SHOULD DEFINETLY NOT USE KRYTOX 205G0 FOR THE WIRE"

no hate

just saying

[hushed valley]

I'm relatively new to this stuff so idrk

I hear a lot of people saying different things and thats what confuses me

[fluid ravine]

Do your research so you don't get confused

[sleek wagon]

Anyone know if the pc plates are only gonna be by batch or they'll be an in stock product

[fluid ravine]

should be by batch

[sleek wagon]

Dammit ima buy it rn then

[fluid ravine]

I dont have updates to the batches (Cus I'm not that guy) but if you're in NA the plates should arrive at factory during early October

Economy Shipping should be delivered during mid oct and expedited shipping should be early oct as well

[stray tiger]

The 205g is fine for the stab housings but Id use something thicker for the wires.

[hushed valley]

I do my research but I don't feel like researching every tiny detail before I've even gotten my keyboard

mostly just asking in advance

[fluid ravine]

saying like if you want to confirm something like lubes for the stabs just do a little bit of research

[polar girder]

Like Molykote EM-50L?

[stray tiger]

Like dielectric grease

[polar girder]

What’s the em-50l good for?

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s what everyone says to use. Ok I need to get some I guess

Oh it’s for stab wire

Just not best tool for the job, it seems

[cyan adder]

Any special way to put krytox on stab housing or I just put it generously and randomly

[stray tiger]

For the stab wires you can get a good tube of grease for $10 off amazon or maybe $8 from the autroparts store. This is what I use https://www.amazon.com/Super-Lube-21030-Synthetic-Grease/dp/B000XBH9HI/ref=sr_1_2

[polar girder]

Generous is opposite of the word I would use to describe how to lube switches

[cyan adder]

Yeah sorry corrected, I mean stabs housing

[stray tiger]

https://youtu.be/WN_-GYLTfpY

[stray tiger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxHb6CJc9V8

[polar girder]

Ordered. Ty.

[lament citrus]

any specific pc plate you guys would recommend that can fit the pcb in the tofu60 redux?

also would tx stabs be better or the stock stabs

[stray tiger]

Wooting PC plate and the stock stabs are legit

[lament citrus]

it would fit the tofu60 redux correct?

[stray tiger]

The plate attaches to the PCB not the case.

[lament citrus]

i was just wondering if there was spacing issues in the case

[stray tiger]

What do you mean? It's the same size as the stock plate.

[lament citrus]

nevermind sorry.

last quick question

do .15 or .125 switch films work with the lekker switches

[stray tiger]

Thinner is better if you think you want them

[lament citrus]

k thanks for the help

[exotic plaza]

watch out bc standard films dont fit correctly

i mean you can kinda stretch a lot of them around it but its kinda janky and im not sure if it makes it sound worse or not

[latent laurel]

What is a burger mount and why is it useful?

[fluid ravine]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[latent laurel]

k

[latent laurel]

my fault ty

chill out

[fluid ravine]

np

[stray tiger]

Maybe Ill split them up later by mod type Switch & Stab Mods, Mounting & Case Replacement, Plate Swap, etc

but for now if people are too lazy to click on the first post links then tough tit

[polar girder]

lol tenz jr why you sound like robot tho

nice mic test

[fluid ravine]

cuz i said i will :)

i do what i say lel

[elder warren]

how do you know if 3rd party keycaps will fit the wooting two he?

will any full size set work?

[near barn]

they should work, but depends on the keycap profile i believe

[elder warren]

okay thanks

are there any general websites people use to buy keycaps? looking for a cool set but I dont know where to start looking

[near barn]

iirc, the Two HE comes default with OEM profile

[near barn]

a lot of people i asked back when i started(earlier this summer) recommended me to drop.com

and 'gmk keycaps' in general

[obsidian dagger]

yes

[loud zephyr]

Here's some links for recommended store in each region, towards bottom of page: https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[elder warren]

thanks to both of you

[dapper kernel]

Anything that fits mx stem, profile are preferences

[weary tree]

anyone with gummy mount knowledge pls help

1st how do i make it so that it doesnt sink too much?

2nd how do i take out my pcb

it does come out

doesnt*

managed to get it out

[loud zephyr]

I pull and tilt the back of the top row keys towards me

oh nice

[weary tree]

ill try to add some pads to make it a little more elevated

[dusty igloo]

Which lube would you recommend for wooting? the lube from the website or another one?

[weary tree]

krytox 205g0

doesnt matter where as long as its the correct kind

[dusty igloo]

Ok thank you

[brisk schooner]

Hey guys, do you recommend tofu60 or Poseidon psd60?

[weary tree]

personal preference

i have the tofu redux

[brisk schooner]

From pictures psd60 doesn't look that sharp at corners as tofu

[dapper kernel]

I have psd60

[dapper kernel]

There is the normal edge version and the round edge version

[brisk schooner]

Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! ￡48.21 6%OFF | Poseidon PSD60 Case Anodized Aluminium or Coating case for mechanical keyboard Black Silver Grey White Red Blue gh60 xd60 xd64
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EjxOAPH

This one I'm looking at

[dapper kernel]

That’s the normal one yeah

If udm the wait i will get tofu redux with brass weights tbh

[brisk schooner]

Are you swapping it?

[weary tree]

the redux with weight is heavy

[dapper kernel]

Nope, idm my psd60

I was surprised by how light the stock wooting was

It feel likes 300g or sth

[brisk schooner]

Yeah received it yesterday and I'm planning to get psd60 I think

Can I use original foam with psd60?

[dapper kernel]

Yes but I personally took out the smaller layer of the foam out

[brisk schooner]

Yeah I'll test that

[lilac island]

So I have some of this packing foam and was wondering if this is good to use in an aluminium case for a nice thick sound ?

Sorry image is not uploading .. it's the white PR foam the thin one, not sure if I should put this between the case and the PCB

[loud zephyr]

Image isn't loading for me

[dapper kernel]

Dont upload it as file but as image 💀

[bronze grove]

It's a raw photo. Discord generally doesn't like those (with good reason)

[stray tiger]

Yeah Discord doesn't like it raw

[lilac island]

Yeah it's weird I uploaded as image, it's the thin PE foam anyways from one of my packages

[finite gate]

why is it 28mb

ip grabber 😳

[finite gate]

e

[bronze grove]

Do you zoomers not know what RAW photos are. smh

[stray tiger]

Only you'll be able to experiment with the foam types and see what works for you. Some people have used a t-shirt and like how that sounds

[finite gate]

check keychron discord lol

[normal schooner]

do u know what mp4 is

[bronze grove]

It's like MP3s but even better quality!

[normal schooner]

[bronze grove]

[finite gate]

better than mp3

[bronze grove]

But don't ask about MP5s, or the FBI will come by

[shell crown]

[stray tiger]

Wait are we talking about FLAC?

[finite gate]

whats a mp5

[shell crown]

MP5 is upgraded mp4

[bronze grove]

https://tenor.com/view/f-bi-raid-swat-gif-11500735

[shell crown]

There even exists a silenced version

[stray tiger]

I've seen worse than that. Old underwear, cat litter, etc

Luckily not old cat litter though

[finite gate]

hell no

i am not putting my cats piss in my keeb

or my underwear

[stray tiger]

Yeah I don't advise putting your cats piss in your underwear either

[finite gate]

LOL

[stray tiger]

But whatever makes you happy. No judgment here. We do that in the private channels

[finite gate]

i might do that with some old keeb

im gonna put my raw underwear in my k6 and give it to my friend when my m1w arrives

[lilac island]

It's a photo taken from my phone

Maybe it is raw not sure why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't

And I'm not sure why everyone on here thinks a large file is something malicious

[bronze grove]

It's a settings thing.

Also most computers couldn't open your large, raw photos anyway

Because they're not JPEG or a similar standard, compressed format.

[lilac island]

It is a jpg file

Let me try upload again

Did that work ?

[velvet egret]

no

[finite gate]

its this ^

[loud zephyr]

Worked for me but I think the stock foam will do a better job of deadening the sound

[finite gate]

foam is better

[lilac island]

Yeah it shows on my screen

[finite gate]

i clicked it

[lilac island]

I think it's my phone that making it weird

[sleek wagon]

what plate mount stabs should I get to put in the wooting? I usually use durock v2 but was wondering what better might be out there

[stray tiger]

The stock ones

[sleek wagon]

https://tenor.com/view/umm-no-awkward-gif-14598974

[sleek wagon]

What mods do you suggest on them

[stray tiger]

Lube

[velvet egret]

Module pre-order still set for september?

[polar girder]

Never set lol

[sleek wagon]

How do we get notifications for the batch were in?

[velvet egret]

It has been said numerous times that that is/was the plan

[polar girder]

You been following UwU or any other newly released product?

They also said they planned to release with alumaze lol

Shit happens

And sometimes you can’t predict when it does

[velvet egret]

Which is why im asking if they still think september ......

[untold wigeon]

is it safe to use painter tape on the wooting to tape mod?

[lilac island]

I think so Wootong has an official video of the tape mod

[bronze grove]

Yes.

[lilac island]

https://youtu.be/6poF-Z0ajhE?si=_u-RMiRgZ2GTPkuN

[keen zodiac]

hi there, i got a small issue after lubing my switches and stabilizers, when i try to put on the delete keycap, it gets stuck in the pressed position and doesnt come back up, the switch is fine and returns normally when pressed with a finger, all the other buttons with stabilizers work fine... does anyone know what the reason for that would be? 😮

[elder warren]

thats due to an issue in

[sand oasis]

So it works when you you press the switch with your finger but not with the keycap inbetween?

[keen zodiac]

yeah i did a bigbrain and accidentally put one of the black stabilizer studs in the wrong way so it was stuck in the lowest position haha

[lilac island]

anyone find burger mount is a bit hard to do my screws done seem long enough to have 2 o rings

i guess ill just do half burger mount xD

[marble shuttle]

wooting screws little bit small

If I didnt remember right you have tofu redux so redux has bigger screws you can use that for burger mount @lilac island

[lilac island]

oh yeah ! you are right !

totally forgot about those

thanks

[marble shuttle]

np

[lilac island]

ok still only managed to fit one on but i think its fine dont think it makes much of a diff

Recorded with my phone so quality might not be good. This is the tofu 60 redux case, brass bar weight, lubed stabs with XHT-BDZ, 3 layer tape mod one O ring on each of the 5 screws between the PCB and one layer of stock Wooting foam. Everything else is stock like the switches, keycaps plate etc. What do you think?

Actually this one is the one I was meant to send better quality

[velvet egret]

What kind of sound profile are you trying to get.

Wouldn't be my go to type of sound but def not bad

[lilac island]

im trying to get the thock sound its sounds alot deeper and more thock irl than my in the recording as it was recorded using my phone

[fluid ravine]

Ah yes I remember this sound

[fluid ravine]

Lube switches
Switch plates
Should go for 1 or 2 layers of tempest (preferebly one)
Adjust the burger mount tension (don't make it tight) or switch to gasket mount
If the chatter is a problem (ughhh I don't wanna advertise) switch tape mod

That's what I think

It sounds pretty good and accurate with the mods you've done ٩(๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑)۶ᴳᴶ

[lilac island]

yeah i actually like it a lot more now its near the sound i was going fore

i thnk un til i get a pc plate this is as much thock i will get

although when i was doing the burger mount i could only put one o ring, maybe i bought the wrong ones

[marble shuttle]

you have to put two orings

we would you recommanded 4.5 1.5 1.5

what did you buy

I have 4.5 1m 1.5 aswell

[lilac island]

yeah i know that but the scrrews were too short even the tofu 60 ones

yeah i have them measurements !

[marble shuttle]

In reddit

some guy reccomended 4.5 1.5 1.5 orings with 5mm 6mm screws

[lilac island]

may be i need new screws

[fluid ravine]

It's the screws

But should go for bigger orings
Like tuna said 4.5 1.5 1.5
There are chances for the orings to go through the standoff holes

But the 4.5 1 1.5 works fine

[lilac island]

yeah maybe ill grab some new screws tbh i dont think the burger mount makes much of a diff

[fluid ravine]

It does just gotta tune it

Steel plate + tape mod doesn't really do anything if you use burger mount

So skip tape and just go with burger mount as it does a better work than tape mod with tray mount and steel plate

[lilac island]

yeah i think i will grab athe 60he module when it comes out and build another one

[fluid ravine]

Aight

Cool cool

[polar girder]

Damn just realized Martingale 60 has right USB port. RIP

[polar girder]

Oh damn I deleted all my screenshots lol

Don’t have the burger mount specs any more

[marble shuttle]

Still didnt mod my wooting

[polar girder]

Solid

That’s what I plan to use when I burger mount FWIW

based on Reddit posts lol

[lilac island]

would you be able to send me reddit link

[polar girder]

https://reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/s/PybCQ2Z7d5

[lilac island]

thanks

[polar girder]

Fair bit of good discussion in the thread

[hallow cove]

for burger mount do yall use the bottom spacebar screw

[bitter swallow]

case came in and it's all done

[quiet bay]

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/black-diamond-75-gaming-keyboard-2-4g-2ms-latency--2/coming_soon what do you guys think of this

it's a gaming keyboard that's leaf spring mounted

it looks cool

[latent laurel]

looks cool

[polar girder]

Siicccckkkk

[polar girder]

I don’t think of that 😅

I mean could be sweet. But I’m 100% good on that lol

[trail forge]

It looks gimmicky

Like, for SURE it looks cool

But it looks like its trying REALLY hard to look cool

[untold wigeon]

Looks very gamery, if that’s even a word

[quiet bay]

They tried to be unique, but honestly I just like the side profiles of Jelly Epoch/Evolv and Haven TKL more

gives off the cleanest vibe

[polar girder]

lol idk not clean really. Overbuilt and steam punk maybe

Oh for others

Yeah mb

[molten yacht]

they said it will be released "soon", so i guess and hope it will be this september

[polar girder]

Maybe Wooting live tomorrow tells us something

If we’re lucky

[sacred jay]

black diamond?

[left patrol]

Did anyone already tapemod the tofu60 ?

[sleek wagon]

tx rev 4 stabs or stock stabs? lets be honest here

[glacial wind]

I'd use tx if I was building from scratch with the upcoming pcb version. I dislike their plate mount though and I wouldn't bother swapping from stock stabs on the non updated pcb version of wooting personally

[sleek wagon]

didnt have enough patience to wait for the pcb version lol

[polar girder]

Yeah I only care about stabs until they’re screw in. Current stock are solid

[sleek wagon]

gotcha well thank god i definitely did not already order tx stabs

[polar girder]

Right

[finite gate]

does squirting dieletric grease into my stabs lube them without having to remove? do they damage my keyboard or wut

[sleek wagon]

Just remove them you don't wanna over lube and cause them to get all mushy

It won't damage your keyboard but it'll most likely feel like shit

[finite gate]

lo

[fluid ravine]

yes

just be considerate with the amount you put it in

preferably what 86Alex said

[finite gate]

about how much

i cba to remove stabs

[stray tiger]

I'm driving I can't atm lol

[finite gate]

e

[fluid ravine]

someone already did it

u gud

[fluid ravine]

just be considerate
there's no specific amount of lube you have to put onto the stab

its personal preference
tune it how you like, after all it takes trial and error

[finite gate]

alr

they are prelubed too so ig

[fluid ravine]

so dont be surprised if it turns out bad

[finite gate]

btw does fr4 or pc plate get a deeper sound?

wait

real tenz????

[quiet bay]

pc in theory it should

[finite gate]

keeping my stock plate then i guess

[quiet bay]

y?

[finite gate]

because its pc

[lament citrus]

so the wooting pc plates are on backorder, how long does it approximately take for the plates to finish production?

Wanna buy the pc plate but I just bought a case and keycaps and I got bills to pay lol

[finite gate]

open

[glacial wind]

Although I’m a bit confused at why he’s asking non wooting mod questions here lol - people going to be confused and give you wooting based answers

[fluid ravine]

but so far his questions are related to keyboard mods in general

but i do agree

[finite gate]

its not #wooting-modding

[glacial wind]

I’d probably post in the general keyboard channel for that stuff - you’ll get less confused people and more relevant answers

its gonna be like 300 hundo

[sleek wagon]

Wondering why they chose Gateron KS-37 when they literally just released the KS-20's

[fluid ravine]

😂

[fluid ravine]

Ks-20's and KS-37 are different

[sleek wagon]

Yeah higround boards are pretty overpriced

[fluid ravine]

the ks20 are supported for wooting pcb

[glacial wind]

I’m not holding breath, highground boards have been pretty mediocre for the price in the past

[fluid ravine]

ks37 well i dont know what the f there pcb is supported with

[sleek wagon]

I own a higround board, it's nice but it feels kinda cheap

[fluid ravine]

but i hope they sound good
prob doesnt perform as good as wooting

[sleek wagon]

And imo sounds terrible out of the box

[fluid ravine]

damn

sound test?

im curious

havent heard one before

[sleek wagon]

Oh I'm way past stock on that thing now lol

Modded the shit out of it

[fluid ravine]

still curious

[glacial wind]

Meletrix and owlabs kind of won the low end market for keyboards

Super hard for anyone else to put out higher quality then them for the price

[finite gate]

uh

monsgeek m1w?

[glacial wind]

I mean it’s fine but not really competing with zoom in sales there

Zoom kind of came in and dominated the market there. And now owlabs launching things like the neo keyboard for $80

[sleek wagon]

Can't send a video cause I don't have nitro lol

[cloud hare]

yo are the stock wooting keycaps good?

[glacial wind]

As good as any other keycaps really

Not my style aesthetically but they’re fine quality wise

[cloud hare]

do you have any recommendations for some?

[glacial wind]

I means you’re going to have to narrow down color and price range there

There’s thousands upon thousands of keycaps

[finite gate]

https://clideo.com/editor/compress-video

[gaunt linden]

Can i swap the stabs?🧐

On the wooting 60he, I mean, is it possible? and how can I tell which is compatible?

[digital gust]

I need a second opinion, should i make a storm trooper, mando, or darth vader keycap?

[gaunt linden]

Darth Vader

[fluid ravine]

yes with Plate mount stabs

[gaunt linden]

Do you mind me asking which ones do you recommend the most?

[lament citrus]

anyone know the dimensions of the wooting screws?

im trying to mount it with o rings but the o rings were too thick for the screws so im looking for longer screws

[fluid ravine]

I dont have good knowledge of good plate mounted stabs but i think FL CMMK v3 are good stabs that people use

[gaunt linden]

Thank you

[fluid ravine]

[waxen bane]

has anyone documented an o ring mod for the wooting?

Wuque studio BoW, PBTfans BoW, Osume Mochi would be my top picks

[shell inlet]

Thanks

[lilac island]

hmmm does any one have the gateron KS-20, i bought some with my tofu 60 redux and opened a few but cant really tell if they have been factory lubed or not

[glacial wind]

you'd need to lube them if you want a proper lube

[normal schooner]

few people have check #🔧│keyboard_modding maybe use search

ooh lol

[lilac island]

cheers

[wraith notch]

According to Badseed Tech, the factory lube is already pretty good.

https://youtu.be/jLhoW5R21_g?feature=shared

[lilac island]

yeah i watched him too which is why am asking hmmm maybe mine are lube but very little, i will lube them my self again just to be sure

[wraith notch]

Yeah, lube one or two and let us know if it made a difference 😁

[shell crown]

That is 1968 homie, first HE keeb

Idk what you expect from one of the first good keebs

[finite gate]

idc

i want it gone

[dapper kernel]

hand lube definitely feels better

but i was surprised by how good the stock wooting is

[marble shuttle]

hand lube so much better

[dapper kernel]

im surprised by how quite my wooting sound rn

PC plate going to make it

[exotic plaza]

Any suggestions for nylon screws for tofu60 redux

also peep the insanity that is my horrid attempt at trying to size a spacer to change travel distance

https://www.mcmaster.com/8585k821/

if you aren't attempting to buy 8ft long pc tubes to mod your switches are you really a keyboard enthusiast

(also im going to preemptively say that yes, i am aware this is a stupid idea but i want to see if i can make it work)

its probably not sized right as all of my dimensions came from 2 hours of prodding around with some calipers and somewhat eyeballing things

im just going to try these and cut/sand them to length

[snow escarp]

Question, are there any “budget” keycaps that look decently alright

depends on preference of course

or just a good site to look for would work too

[velvet egret]

Will there be a wooting stream this friday?

[bronze grove]

Yes

[grizzled path]

will there be a big announcement in the stream of including the damn case-foams with the alumaze?

[velvet egret]

We prolly gotta wait and see whats on the schedule

[glossy pagoda]

Alumaze is on the menu, yes 🙂

[celest depot]

better then i expected honestly

[dapper kernel]

My PC plate coming soon

[elder viper]

Oh thats cool. Almost all of my stuff ships between 01 and 10 October 😄

And wait... the batch update says pc plate is compatible with screw in stabs?

I didn't see that on the pc plate order page.

[elder viper]

uxcell Nylon Machine Screws, M2x5mm Slotted Pan Head Fasteners Bolts for Electronics, Communications, Equipment, 50Pcs https://a.co/d/hQRi3z8

I bought these

The faq recommended 5-6 mm

[fluid ravine]

The pc plate was suppose to be made with the module which supported screw in stabs
Then they decided to sell the plate separately. In the #🪛│modding_faq Tirade did state that the plate being compatible with the 60he V1 so it means it's plate mount supported

Ansi for now ofc

Alr now back to school.. (Send help)

[elder viper]

Ohh that makes sense~

Gooood luccckkk. School is good for you. Get your edumacation

[polar girder]

Nylon screw burger mount meta?

[shut cove]

I hope this is the right place to ask this. Does somebody know how well the kbdfans wooting compatible plates that ship with tofu redux work with wooting?

[stray tiger]

No one knows yet but Id avoid the carbon and fr4 due to the flex cuts

[shut cove]

Flex cuts would cause inaccuracies?

Yes

[polar girder]

Potentially, yeah.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1932083883?t=2307s

[hushed valley]

Is this worth it?

almost as much as the wooting itself

[onyx pier]

if you care about how your wooting look yes

if no you dont need it

[hushed valley]

it just affect the look?

[onyx pier]

yes

[weary tree]

It also affects sound. But yet to be heard.

[glacial wind]

the concrete gray gives you high style points

[hushed valley]

How do the wootings stock switches feel compared to Cherry reds

and is there any way to get the L45 switches to come with the wooting instead of the L60?

[shell crown]

No

[hushed valley]

:(

[shell crown]

And these are analog keys

[hushed valley]

ye ik I haven't tried analog keys before

[shell crown]

No click, no sound of clicking no feel of clicking

[hushed valley]

so idk the difference

[glacial wind]

default l60 are lighter than cherry reds by a touch

[shell crown]

You just press

[molten yacht]

End of october?!

[bronze grove]

Only if you're patient and want to use a custom case.

[dapper kernel]

HE switches feel harder to be pressed imo

[hushed valley]

Idk whether it's just because I damaged my right shoulder in a bike crash recently but the reds feel pretty hard to press

[dapper kernel]

[hushed valley]

Is 15g bottom out force that big of a difference?

[shell crown]

Yeah cause magnets ikr

[glacial wind]

reds are roughly in that 60-65 actuation bottom out force

[hushed valley]

The he the same?

[glacial wind]

the stock L60 are 60 actuation bottom out force

so reds should be a tiny bit harder to press but fairly similar to stock wooting

[dapper kernel]

imo get the L45 if red feels hard to press

[glacial wind]

L45 would be equal to the very lightweight switches you can find in some custom switches - so take your preference

[normal schooner]

l45 is delayed

by a month

[dapper kernel]

💀

[normal schooner]

even stricter qa testing

[shell crown]

Yeah, same reason why I had them removed from my order

qc tests gonna get strict af

[normal schooner]

only the best for our consumers

[glacial wind]

it will affect how low actuation you can set too depending on your typing/keyboard technique

Honestly since you have to get the L60 first anyway with stock wooting you could always try it out first and if you find you want lighter then order the L45. You'd have to pay shipping for the switches later but I assume just switch shipping isn't that bad

[molten yacht]

@shell crown is the module releasing end of october?

[shell crown]

Should do by all of my calculations

[molten yacht]

Damn, that’s still a long time, thought it was gonna be end of september

[shell crown]

Nope

That's one of the reasons why I already bought wooting now

And waitin

[hushed valley]

Alr

[shell crown]

Sakuyas paitently waiting

Got 2 more sets gotta use em somehow

[hushed valley]

Most of the cost of the wooting came from customs anyways so

[shell crown]

Not for me

Redux tho, yes

[hushed valley]

Gotta love when the idiots in your country vote to leave the EU and result in higher shipping costs from within Europe

£30 extra cuz of customs and taxes

[glacial wind]

if the eventual tkl/75% doesn't have a concrete gray or cream option I'll be sad. Osume dalgona keycaps and cable just waiting for it

[shell crown]

I doubt it will honestly

Sadly it doesn't come with hiragana

[glacial wind]

i assume or hope rather they go a miniature custom keyboard route and have case options at some point for it

like a zoom75 group buy style but not as many crazy options of course

[shell crown]

Zoom75 was a big hit in my eyes

got one myself

[glacial wind]

yeah i love mine, great work keyboard

[shell crown]

Yup

I just wish there was more burgundy/royal red/scarlet red stuff for keebs

[glacial wind]

yeah outside of gmk sometimes it's a pain to find pbt sets with the same amount of color combos and options

and I can't go gmk because i have acid sweat that shines everything so fast sadly

[polar girder]

Like pre sale and production starts end of October they say

[molten yacht]

Thats fucked

[polar girder]

Get over yourself lol

It’ll be fine

Fucked how?

Don’t be a privileged loser

Be grateful we get module at all

Boo hoo

Ahh poor guy

lol I’m big chilling bro

Bought what

I go w pbtfans but they can be expensive at times

Design your PCB in KiCad, send it to jlcpcb and that's it

Learn how to do custom PCBs basically

[latent laurel]

thats cool

[shell crown]

No as I'm still perfecting it and don't have a case for it

It uses QMK

Or a fork of QMK

All the same features for 80€

[latent laurel]

so how would you sart the process of custom pcb

[shell crown]

Well you can do VIA if you can add HE to it yourself

[latent laurel]

start

[shell crown]

Any I choose

can do any % keeb

Just add more keys

Any layout

But again, requires you to get someone to do you PCB files unless you do it yoursekf

[shell crown]

First google

[molten yacht]

Thats fucked

[latent laurel]

ok ty

[polar girder]

Yeah I heard you lol

[shell crown]

About 90€ for black PCB plate and HE with RGB 60%

[shell crown]

Don't do Hall Effect at first as you will mess up few times. Do 2-3 key PCBs

I have given out so much wooting uwu custom PCB

I mean 5 atleast

So yeah, just get better man

[polar girder]

Never that

[shell crown]

I'm just joking, custom PCB costs rack up a lot since you hit or miss few times

[latent laurel]

ok ty lol

[shell crown]

I can send you some links in DMs if you'd like

[latent laurel]

yes pls

ty

[stray tiger]

Todays stream was good. Now you guys know why I keep saying a thinner different type of foam is better for aluminum cases and for a better sound. It seems Wooting has discovered the same thing and you get the foam at no added cost (just a little added time)

[latent laurel]

nice

[lilac island]

i tried a thinner one when i switch to the tofu case and i like the thicker stock one (1 layer) more

but i guess it depends what sound you are looking for

[stray tiger]

Foam type/density also matters

[daring umbra]

fiberfill best option?

[stray tiger]

Im a big fan of fiberfill, so is Mansen, but I can't say it's the best. For me it's very good and the price is great. I do like it better than a lot of the foam options

[daring umbra]

we can cry all we want but we don't have control when they actually release aaaa

[daring umbra]

I'm having the 5 degrees from Prokeys (which hopefully will happen) what do use in 5 deg? foam or fiberfill?

Like that, @stray tiger ?

[stray tiger]

Yes sir

[daring umbra]

also seems like I'm like a stalker but all I do most of the time is backread and use the search of Discord. anyway, Tirade you mentioned about nylon screws

[stray tiger]

Fiberfill is cheap enough you can test both and see what you like!

[stray tiger]

Thats what discord is for. Id much rather you do that then ask the same question someone else has 100x

[daring umbra]

so like, say you're gonna burger mod the pcb and end of the screw

so basically the threads are gonna be less than that of non-burger mount

[stray tiger]

Yes, you would need longer screws than the stock ones

[daring umbra]

does it so happen longer

ohh

[stray tiger]

What are you rambling about?

[daring umbra]

and there's like a variety of screws

like flat and rounded

does that matter?

[daring umbra]

he's just excited and obsessed already soo

[stray tiger]

Doesnt matter. Just be sure they are m2 (6mm is good for burger mount)

[daring umbra]

also would you use uhh Permatex Blue Medium

[bronze grove]

https://tenor.com/view/maximo-espectacular-dardano-gif-20543545

[daring umbra]

maybe try something else to interest for a while like a giiker

[stray tiger]

I wouldnt use thread locker of any kind

You dont even need to screw the screws in very tight. Just snug enough to keep the PCB from shifting around

[daring umbra]

unless you put springs on the standoffs

right?

[stray tiger]

I have no idea why you would do that

[daring umbra]

like how keybored? did with the tofu

someone put this link/video here before uhh let me find it

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

that

idk if that's advisable

like the uhh salvation

[fluid ravine]

We talked about this before we all came to a disagreement and advise not to do it

[daring umbra]

alright

[fluid ravine]

Thanks to criminal lmao

[shell crown]

It is better not to do it

[daring umbra]

also with the module

coming out how far is modding allowed to

are there limitations to it

[polar girder]

Wut

[lilac island]

WOULD YOU GO LARGER THAN 6MM OR IS 6MM THER PERFECT SIZE ?

woops caps sorry

[shell crown]

Module comes ONLY PCB and plate

[daring umbra]

yeah I've read that at #🪛│modding_faq

the question is how far is the limitation to the mod until void of warranty
