No, that's just how the steel plate is; a few mods can lessen the ping.

#

phew. trying to learn about mods to silence the 60he because really not a fan of keebo noises since i use a flesports mk870 case and boba u4 switches, but it is certainly a hell of a time looking here for what people do. got uhhh.. the tape switch method, lubing the switches yourself, uhhhh everyone seems very mixed on foam and how to do it

weary tree

#

ignorance is bliss

i like my speakers :>

sleek wagon
proper talon
#

the thing i don't understand is if that's better than like,, aluminum case & foam?

polar girder
#

better is subjective

#

it's different

proper talon
#

i mean, i said my goal of being quiet, i'm wondering if it'd be quieter.

dapper kernel
#

Thicker and denser foam for quiet

#

PC plate too

proper talon
#

was wondering about the pc plate, skimming thru the discord n such was confusing what it would be good for wrt that, only heard about flexing

bronze grove
#

Different sound profile.

dapper kernel
#

Definitely will be quieter than default steel plate

#

It gives a softer bottom out feel but no flex on wooting pc plate

proper talon
#

so seems quietest would be.. aluminum base, pc plate, switch tape maybe, lube the switches myself?

dapper kernel
#

Case is mostly for weight i think doesn’t really make it quieter

#

It’s more of the case foam

proper talon
#

mm, heard it's changed the sound profile n most the people modding seeeem to use em?

dapper kernel
#

Yes but most ppl use it because of weight, heavier = more premium of sorts

#

There’s wood, acrylic and abs case u can look into

#

I use aluminium myself and it’s somewhat quiet, im a soft typer myself so i dont make loud sound when typing

#

But im using resin keycap for spacebar ans it thocks loudly havo

crimson sky
dapper kernel
proper talon
#

ya i don't type too hard but just generally bothered by louder keyboard noises, especially the more plasticy ones. my silent tactile board definitely makes noises but not really any keycap noises like return sounds or such. gazzew boba u4s sound very different than the sound tests of the lekkers and various keycaps so i've been hesitant to try and pick up and mod one

crimson sky
#

More weight will always dampen reverb

#

Internal volume makes a big difference as well though

#

And basically all aftermarket options that you should consider reduce internal volume

#

Which reduces noise

shell crown
dapper kernel
dapper kernel
dapper kernel
crimson sky
#

More than a lighter case or a case with more volume

#

If you cast yourself a lead case with minimal volume it would be much quieter still

#

hey, whats up guys, what do you guys think is the best option for the stabs? i was thinking about just lubing them with the lube from the kit they sell on their site

crimson island
#

+case

dapper kernel

Up2u both sound same

obsidian cliff

#

Personally, I'll be doing: Tempest and Bandaid bc I don't have any lube and don't care about brass or silicone

dapper kernel
#

💀

#

I will take manual lube over any mods

crimson island
#

I mean i got lube, just not any for my switches

#

😈

#

i could bag lube my springs but not really worth it to open them all up just to do springs

proper talon
crimson island
#

Not really, just deeper

#

Thockier

dapper kernel
#

Depends how many layers u put havo

crimson island
#

Silicone and lube will likely be the most noticeable

dapper kernel
#

Some do 5 layers

proper talon
#

thock is usually a bit too loud for me so ^^;

dapper kernel
#

My mouse clicks is like 5x louder than my kb 💀

crimson sky
#

Directs more of the sound upwards

#

Instead of against the case

#

how should i go about putting sorbothane for my case sound dampening

#

i wouldnt like it to stick to the case since it has that sticky feel

cyan adder
#

Yo, after few days with hand lubed switches, I’ve noticed they aren’t all smooth like each others. There is some that are smooth asf and some that has a little resistance, but somehow I did lubes them all by the same way, any way to fix / prevent that ? Or is it normal

bronze grove
#

Clearly they weren't lubed equally. Pluck out the bad ones and add a bit more. Or less. Depends on the issue I spose'

both durock and owlstab has this issue for my keycap setes

any good way to prevent binding on wooting one?

No issues with our own PBT or XMI here. Or whoever made that 2048 purple set I have.

pudding looks good on a wooting one

but not on a 60he

i feel like blank caps may look ok on the 60he

everytime i pull out keycap i managed to chip pbt

gritty basin

also does other plates work on the wooting

i kind of want a brass plate to make it sound higher pitch

I fucking love philips head

tbf, i don't get why Woot doesn't use torx instead

bronze grove

Size and simplicity.

hard moon

It became quite common anyways

bronze grove
#

Lot more common to have a Philips head.

hard moon
#

well, true

crimson sky

#

Or include a small Torx iron like Ikea does

bronze grove
#

The only reason I have any torx at all is because the OG Xbox uses it, and because they came with my ifixit kit. You don't see anything but flathead or philips here in DIY construciton or electronics.

crimson sky

ikea doesn't use torx

hard moon

you'd be surprised

They use hex.

And flathead/philips head for other things.

Also it doesnt tightening basically doesnt move

yea

Why always bad things Come to me i modded 3 wooting man 🤣🤣

crimson sky

that is what happens when you tighten a screw that is already tightened

#

what did you expect to happen

marble shuttle
#

Huh

#

🤣

#

You understand me wrong

#

Does it look like tightened

dapper kernel

i mean shouldnt u try to unscrew it

marble shuttle

I already trying to unscrew

As you can see

this just makes it look like u kept screwing right and the head got scraped off dogekek

3 times happened Last customer pcb screws bad too

google have a lot of solution

marble shuttle

I know

dont think wooting screw comes really tight anyways

#

tbh even a tweezer can unscrew it dogekek

weary tree
#

bruh i think you broke all of their screws

#

legit all of the heads are destroyed

#

youre making it worse by turning them like that

#

it should be super light and no need to tighten them too much

i would honnestly be pissed if i was one of your customers

I am not new here bud

all the screws had to do was keeping the PCB down to the case, that's all. You don't have to tight them down as if it should stay there forever. Anyways, both of you should calm down now. It is what it is now

#

Tofu posted a PDF that describes their quality control and objectively measures the severity of errors or blemishes in finishes in order to determine whether or not it is considered defective and subject to a warranty based replacement

#

I don't recall exactly where they posted that, but with some digging you can find out what their standards of qualtiy are

stray tiger
# lusty hull Are two of those subjective or is there proof? The main difference is looks and ...

This would be objective and not subjective. There are numerous reports of bad finishes, warped cases, significant anodization marks, and other QC issues that just don't happen with the other mentioned cases. To be fair though, we havent received the Alumaze60 cases yet, so that part is speculation but based on Wooting's customer service/response, attention to detail and not being afraid to delay to make sure it's right is evident that QC is important to Wooting. Additionally KBDfans listed their QC standards and they are lower than other companies. That being said, as an owner of numerous KBDfans products (including the cases), they are a great value for what you get.

I guess I should have just waited for Mark to reply 🙂

y'know what in retrospect i realize i royally messed up how i was trying to afk for info back there. oops.

What i was trying to ask was, is there a lower profile switch that exists, that i'd be able to frankenstain the top half of its housing onto the onto a lekker switch? I know it'd mess with the calibration and reduce travel but i'm fine with that. Heck some of that's good imo.

Reason this seems potentially reasonable to me is 'cause you CAN swap housing with other similarly shaped switches. I just don't know if lekker switches are specially shaped aside from where they connect to the pcb.

When you get some grease and take out your stab wires to lube them, make sure the wire is balanced. That would be my other 1% guess for anything wobbling.

Would also like to know as gateron is 30g and I prefer a light spring

I wouldn't bother personally as they're both made by Gateron, unless the lighter actuation on the KS is significant enough. Apparently the orange top of the KS can affect the RGB's brightness

Seems cheap enough at least, so why not

Oh shiid, not that cheap, my bad

#

depends too much on the material used

sullen salmon
#

ah like these even?

crimson sky
#

it is always miss

sullen salmon
crimson sky
#

since it is completely unnecessary

lucid owl
crimson sky
#

they fulfil the role of a bandaid mod

neat path
#

holee mod, and durock plate mount has way less wobble

lucid owl
crimson sky
#

so is a bandaid mod

marble shuttle
#

I broke keyboard gg

lucid owl
crimson sky
#

ah

lucid owl
#

Tis where I put tape

#

so the stabs sit tighter

crimson sky
#

that is why I wait for the module OMEGALUL

#

pc mounted stabs are just easier

lucid owl
#

It works wonders 🤷‍♂️

#

Alot of my plate mounted stabs turned out nicer and more consitent

#

I feel like it's easier to tune afterwards

crimson sky
#

not really

#

you still get full access to the important bits to lube on pcb mounted stabs

sleek wagon
sullen salmon
#

how do you go about that?

crimson sky
#

with plate mounted ones you don't actually

lucid owl
#

Add some lube, some tape you're good

crimson sky
#

so just lube the stock stabs

#

if they are bad

lucid owl
#

as long as it is hotswap

crimson sky
#

yea but you don't need to remove them

lucid owl
#

idk about that

crimson sky
#

I don't need to remove a switch to add lube to a pcb mounted one

sleek wagon
# sullen salmon how do you go about that?

steel block : https://amzn.to/3LL4LKH
geon stabilizer twisters : https://divinikey.com/products/geon-stabilizer-twister/?ref=xxw

disclaimer : you don't have to balance your wires, a lot of newer stabs these days don't really need to be wire balanced. this is only if you don't have a spare wire and you've tried everything to get rid of stabilize...

You don't need the tools, you can just use your hands

hidden stratus
#

tofu redux need only 1 screw standoff right? what if i install one more on center? thanks

lucid owl
#

Sometimes I like to completely redo my stabs after a couple years tho

bronze grove
#

Center isn't used on 60HE.

#

But there's a hole. So the standoff will just go straight through a gap.

crimson sky
#

without absolutely screwing them up

sleek wagon
#

I guess don't do it if you're not confident?

crimson sky
#

there is a reason why people use tools for it

#

you can very easily make it worse with just your hands

#

and it is very hard to gauge how much force you need

#

since you have very little control due to the short lever

sleek wagon
#

That's why you lightly do it and not completely slam and bend wires? Lol

lucid owl
#

Yeah I would not recommend straightening the wire with hands

#

unless it's noticable bent It wouldn't need straightening anyways

crimson sky
#

the short lever means the amount of force you need to put in on them is high enough to easily bend them in another way

neat path
#

small steps and you have as many try as your patience gives you

crimson sky
#

using a tool means you have a much longer lever as well as a much more solid grip on it

sullen salmon
#

where would i purchase tools for it from tho

sleek wagon
#

To each their own I guess lol

crimson sky
#

depends on where you live

#

you can also 3d print one

sleek wagon
crimson sky
#

nylon pliers work

sleek wagon
#

Yeah that's what I was talking about

#

Also the module will have pcb mounted stabs?

crimson sky
#

yes

sleek wagon
#

I need that

neat path
#

i guess it's the main upgrade of the module

sullen salmon
#

thoughts on switchpads and spacebar foam guys?

#

havent really seen it used much

neat path
#

i use switch pads but didnt filled my spacebar pepe_uhm

sullen salmon
#

noticeable difference or not worth it?

neat path
#

probably not ^^

#

tbh

sleek wagon
#

I'm gonna be using pe switch pads instead of foam in my wooting, gonna see if it matches the sound of the foam mod

#

In some vids it does, some vids it doesn't so

sullen salmon
#

alright gotcha

neat path
#

it's one of my least effective mod for sound

sleek wagon
neat path
#

durock switch pads : foam

sleek wagon
#

Hmm

neat path
#

at least it works for holee mod on pcb pepeyes

sleek wagon
#

I'm assuming poron since it's most common for switch pads

#

No it's pe?

sullen salmon
#

Stabilizer mods:
Holee mod
Lubing stabs
Rebalancing wires
Teflon tape on wire bend
Bandaid under wire
Black rubber pieces under stab mount

neat path
#

says poron yes

sullen salmon
#

would this be overdoing it lolll

sleek wagon
#

Never heard of Teflon tape on the wire bend

sullen salmon
#

it was in a video i saw, alegdly helps reduce rattle

neat path
#

most effective for stab (for me) was getting durock ones, holee and pads under the pole (on pcb)

sullen salmon
#

what type of pads?

neat path
#

i used the poron switch pads cut

sullen salmon
#

awesome gotcha

#

hotswap ones right?

neat path
#

the ones with many holes yes ^^

#

thanks to switch recalibration, it doesnt affect detection

quick tutorial recorded for oriongamercat
ignore my brother in the background

I didn't cover the part of bending wires that aren't straight (the long part in the middle, not the L sides), but it should be pretty straight forward. It's okay if there's a slight U in the wire, but you should make sure it's an inverted U (so the wire is a little li...

#

Do stabilizer pads really make much difference?

neat path
#

oh yes, bandaid or pads should be mandatory :p

#

but bandaid does the same

sleek wagon
#

Bandaid is fine to go on pcb?

neat path
#

and they kindly added "+" signs on PCB where you should stick them 🙂

#

yup

sleek wagon
#

Would you mind linking me to the ones you used

neat path

i used pads try Durock switch pads for hotswap on amazon 0.5mm

Thank you

you also got stab pads from akko and other, but with switch pads you also got....switch pads dogenek
