Material: PORONFunction: Could be glued to the PCB( it has glue on the back), used to buffer the force between switches and PCB, the typing sound would be modifiedVersions: 1. Hot-swap version (Both 3pins and 5pins switches can be used, RGB LED also has a hole, which would not affect the light) 2. So
Sorry this is the first time for me, so i'm a bit lost^^
We do not recommend using switch pads.
Ah, what is the reason ?
You can search for Tirade's explanations over in #🔧│keyboard_modding
we are in #🔧│keyboard_modding
he said i can use it, i just need to find the good one
I asked to kbd fans if it was compatible and it is
"The stock 60HE keycaps are OEM profile but almost any profile keycap will work! Changing your keycaps can have a tremendous impact on the sound of your keyboard depending on the keycap material and profile. It's important to make sure you select keycaps that support the layout of your keyboard and include a 6.25u spacebar. You can read more about keycap materials here - "
thats not switchpads
That's keycaps, not switch pads
They dont know the truth
Hmm my bad, i gonna search again
People do use switch pads. However, the hall effect switches depend on the magnet being at a certain distance from the censor. (I believe the movement of the magnetic induces an electric flux or something, but I don't remember from physics.) By using a switch pad, you are placing something between those two components and extending the distance. My guess is it would decrease the accuracy of the switches at low actuation points/overall, but would still be completely usable if you don't care
Thank you very much for the response!
I understand now
And about the tape masking, is it ok ?
Yes
However, you should look into burger mount instead
You can do both, or either or
What is burger mount ?
I prefer the sound of burger mount. I've tried the tape mod and it didn't really do much
The Wooting 60HE is a stiff keyboard, that we can agree. So, is there something you can do to change this? Sander tries out the burger mount mod for the Wooting 60HE to see if that makes a drastic change in feel, but also in sound.

Okay i will watch it after my work <.<
i have these and i dont recommend them
they not only offset the reading of the hall effect sensor but it can also deform the plate
especially the space bar section
Owh... thanks discord exists, because modding is a bit difficult for few things bahaha
i know how it feels, it takes a while to get to a point that you like when modding boards
Dav3 pro supremacy
question for the flaretech switch designers, what spec spring did you use for the black switches
You're asking about 4 year old info. I'm sure you can find old reviews or a blog post on our website.
I watched the video and I wanted to compare that with the tape mod.
And I don't know if it's because of the videos, but I can not find the difference of sounds between raw & tape mod or raw/burger mod
So I cannot choose... Maybe IRL this is different but currently I don't know
Both mods are around $5 so if you don't have the materials so it's relatively inexpensive to try them out and see what you think
use foam
burger and tape makes it more thocky
bandaid mods makes the stabs sound a bit more mushy
But isn't that bad the tape after trying it ?
I could mess
I don't believe painters tape leaves any residue
I tried it out and removed it without any issues
I watched for bandaid and I heard the difference, I like it
I will try this one I think
Thanks for the proposition
are the wooting two he stabilizers plate mounted?
yes
i'm slightly considering getting these
the lube bottle is what's convincing me tbh
looks like an oil
which is basically the opposite of what you want
just get 205g0
and lube the stock stabilizers
i ordered this one 2 days ago and it should arrive today
i'm getting ready to mod my future wooting two he
anyone recommend using the wooting foam or tofu redux foam
tofu
wooting foam cant fit in the redux
and also you cant install the screw beside the spacebar
idk why
but
its like that
bro i've beem trying to install the screw by the space bar for 30 mins
haha
so just leave the space bar without a screw?
does it make much difference if i leave it with no crew?
It wont be Stable without screw i didnt see any difference
My wooting will be here tomorrow 🥹🥹🥹
Although the GPX was on sale for $110. My dad personally thinks it's a "scam". I tried to tell him that it's one of its largest sales (can't confirm). To him it looks like every normal mouse but over priced. So that just sucks
Just installed my pc plate
I used 4 screws to secure it, buger mount m2x5 etc. Overal my board is a bit more muted and deeper. My stabs did get stuck in north facing, south facing fixed it. Overal it is a nice plate. I'm guessing the silicone does the heavy lifting for the sound.
Do keep in mind that I have PE foam underneath the silicone and got 3 layers of tape mod
Forgot what stabs I have but they are clear
What do you mean south vs north facing stabs?
my bad, my switch orientation fixed it
i have no clue why, but north facing the switch just didn't work. Even after relubing the stabs 3 times. South facing fixed it instantly
Changing your plate made your keycap get stuck on your switch?
I basically had no upstroke when pressing the key in
they got stuck at the bottom
So i can press them but I had to push them back up
This doesnt happen with the stock stabs
Im baffled by that. The keycaps never even touch the plate. The plate is just a holder for the switch. Glad you found an easy fix though!
So im guessing its a tolerance issue with my current ones
Yeah it's pretty odd. But I'm still quite happy with the plate
I think the silicone is definitly the biggest contributer to the sound
Oh I see what you mean now. The way your switch stem aligns with your aftermarket stab stems
Yeah I didn't have this with the steel plate though. Might be because of the flex the pc provides. Causing the stabs not to be seated properly or something like that
But if you want a more deep sounding board install the PC plate with silicone
Did you get yours yet btw?
Negative. Had a delivery yesterday but it was my UwU's
They put mine through the mail box. I think they're delivering pretty early since its pretty small
any ETA on yours?
Want to map different keys to your Wooting keyboard? Well... it is quite easy actually! Just follow along this tutorial!

For a thock sound can someone recommend the best neoprene height size in mm for a tofu redux? Or its better fill with polyester, the standard redux or wooting foam?
wooting foam is better
Hey all (Possibly dumb question warning), complete keyboard noob here. I see alot of people saying cherry mx red keys are the best for comp gameplay and was wondering would they be better than the l45 lekker?
its preference but technically the lekkers are objectively better when paired with a wooting pcb (only way you can use them anyway) as you get rapid trigger and analog input and whatnot
i thought so but baited
They may be a popular switch for non-hall effect keyboards but none of the mechanical switched can compare to the lekkers
Anyone knows a clean black braided replacement cable for the wooting
I have this one and like it a lot https://wiredinstore.com/products/nightcrawler-v2-pre-order
what mouse you cop
anyone can recommend a screw driver kit?
is there anyway to see all the combos somewhere? like on picture
I read something about southfacing and north facing led compatible keycaps, are gmk compatible with the wooting? Or do i have to invert the switch’s direction?
They're compatible
Oh ok, dont need to switch them to southfacing then im guessing
Oh shi- good to know
You got a sound test?
Literally would just do a sound test after every combination
Rvmse
Any photos ❤️🥰
Thanks you make me " i have to buy " 🤣🤣
they used to be a good pick, lekkers are way WAY better
its so hard to go back to my old mouse :<
Has anyone here used gmk keycaps long enough for them to shine?
Kinda funny, the cable delay makes it so it lines up perfectly with other stuff i ordered lol
fate
Mm or premiere?

I'm heading to the mountains for the weekend. No CS2 for me until next week.
Oh shoot I missed this. I'm driving but can talk on discord call
Might have service when I get there
Snow already

thanks @sacred jay @stray tiger
That's a chonky boi, I dig it but sadly Alps only 
it works with bakeneko pcb
Dat enter key!
Ahh there you go

Bro, how many times have you pulled your keyboard apart?
Seeing as you like blanks, please buy these for me
:) yes
oem?
looks glossy but feels diff?
i got polyfill so i shoved some in
look!
bouncy :)
If you’re looking for some stuff that’s in stock (or going to be), I’ve got my eyes on PBTfans atomic purple, klein r2, and fairy
Nice! Pretty similar to the $35 board
thank you :)))))


You might not even need the PC plate, the difference will probably be pretty small
yeah been thinking of the same thing lately
making me care a little bit less about it
When is your PC plate coming in? @fluid ravine I’m interested in seeing what you can do with it
but i still need that foam though ;-;
ripped mine 💀
17-20
Damn

Made my brother a custom death Vader artisan key
My hardest one yet
Not sure if I’m happy with how this one came out
Think I might need to straighten out the stem a bit as well
Unless it’s only because of the wobble in his switches

WTF
OH SHOOT UR RIGHT LOL
are those new stabs they're using?

SI
LOOK!
how did we missed that after one month

i mean they should be better either way
screw in stabs
what you have again
memory dawg doogity doo
new l60s?
Yeah they changed them a bit back
thats "new" 😂
Lol
Not new but they redid them
Few months ago I believe
You can tell if you remove the stem and compare the old and newer ones
Bc of this pressing them from any angle is hard
Gotta be straight down
And when you try to press down slowly it feels bumpy
interesting
Yup
i think they were trying to make a tactile lekker 😂
I think that was a manufacturer error
Nope that’s just how they are now
Gotten 3 sets of switches an all have been that way
Unless I’m reeeeally unlucky
I thought they were supposed to change it back
I got some again about a week ago and they felt the same
Heard the lubing on them is really good
For any of you cry baby's
indeed switch tape reduces stem wobble by alot
si
i cant even get a grip on the stem when trying to wobble it horizontally
ya
I think it's good to have a bit of stem wobble though
or else more friction the tighter it is (probably)
the only time i do was when i found out i had a sensor problem when i did switch tape mod with masking tape and WS films
it was oddly noticable
NOO I'VE BEEN HIT BY IT
DAMN
AdBlockPlus
it only happened once so far
Yipeeee
that happened to me as well but i managed to wiggle my way around it
made it all the way to my final strike
and risked it all for a fix and it worked
It's enough to make a grown man cry
After a few videos, you’ll get one where you have to wait, then you get the 3 strikes after that
Then you can’t watch yt anymore
I've only got the warning only one so far
And had it for a week
module when 
is it risky putting both the stock foam and the tofu 60 foam in, i have them both in my tofu case and it sounds amazing but its packed really tight !
had to forgo the burger mount though with this though
The stock foam is already too much if you don't peel off the second layer.
You don't want to have the giant touch the PCB. It needs a gap to breathe.
i took the small layer of the stock foam off used the bigger one plus the redux foam, is that too much ?
You tell me. Does it touch the PCB when screwed together?
yeah it does i have tape mod as well
but the stock case and stock foam when it came touched the pbc i believe ?
Mnope
hmmmm ok maybe i should remove it then as i did have to push down to screw the keyboard in
i really like the sound but if its not good for the keeb then i will take it out as i do know that the wooting generates heat
So this is the sound of my stabs I've lubed them but I'm still not liking the sound, there is this little rattle in all of them, it's recorded on my phone and they seem to sound higher pitch irl than in the recording, let me know what you guys think I can do to improve them
key order = mouse clicks>backspace>return>r shift>spacebar>l shift
try tuning and holee modding your stabs
balance your wires
thanks will give them ago and do another sound test, i don't have the tools to balance the wires though so will have to try doing it with my hands
I could force mine to fit then ran in to some typing issues. I went back to only stock Wooting fosm
I don’t have the brass weight so I cut the small part to fit in the recess
yeah im only using the redux foam now, i have the brass plate but i kinda like it with out any foam now as well
took all my other mods off like burger mount etc i only have tape mod and hand lubed switched and stabs right now
Been too busy fking with CS2/AMD GPU to have the energy 😅
Nice. Yeah I’m pretty stock just swapped to l45’s and some keycaps. Waiting for module to worry about everything else
Why no burger mount?
lol yeah give us a sound test if you have time would be interesting to know how it will sound
i didnt feel it make any noticeable difference
Fair enough
does anybody else have issues with switches being pulled out while taking off keycaps?
specifically enter and Rshift
On what?
wooting60he
That's....not supposed to happen
im only asking because i've had this happen with a keyboard(gmmk 60, given to me by a friend as handmedown)
and wasn't sure if this is the same issue or different
i planned on greasing my stabilizers so i followed the 'how to lube' video on wooting yt channel
currently at the part where i unscrewed the pcb from switchplate, and the two switches i mentioned seem to be loose
have had switches come out with keycaps on my keyboard before but this is from aliexpress and the tolerances are probably shit and the plate is polycarb so its softer
shouldnt happen on something quality like the wooting
switch coming out with the keycap is most definitely a switch being loose problem 🤷♂️
probably
but they dont go in anymore so
its whatever its not even like the keycaps are coming off often
at first i assumed maybe i mightve broken a switch, so i swapped em but it still happens
and the switch is going all the way in the plate?
this is pretty much my thoughts exactly; but trying to maintain cleanliness becomes a bit annoying so i'd like to see if there's a longterm solution
I just clean it when it becomes too dirty to my liking
i think so? ive pushed it as far as it could go without using exessive force
is it possible that it could have something to do with stabilizers?
only switches with stabilizers are being pulled out along with my keycaps
and it clicked in?
like you could hear a noticeable sound when it secures in
may be that the stabiliser stems are a little larger and need more force to pull the keycap away from
so the switch is coming with it
as it's not seated well enough to resist that force
I mean yeah but if the switch is secured onto the plate that's not supposed to be enough force to take out both keycap and switch at the same time
i literally said this
im using the same amount of force(if not, less on the one that popped out) when pushing each switch
If you're pushing switches out like that, you'll likely damage the housing's clipsm
I'd compare with a fresh switch from the box just for comparisons sake.
that actually was a spare that i got with my wooting uwu..

o yeah mb I didn't read that part
xd
Could be a case of plate tolerances.
maybe you just got unlucky with the plate ig
i was also thinking it might've been because of the way i pulled them out with my switch puller when hotswapping
if its a fresh switch
if it's not the switch then it's most likely the plate
these things happen unfortunately
oof oh well then
not saying its normal or should ever happen but
thanks for your guys' time anyways, appreciate getting closure on this problem
the only things i can think of are plate tolerances screwing you
or uhh
idk
yeah thats it
well atleast you can still use it as it's only a problem when you take it out
is it possible to do the holee mod with painter tape or best with band aid ?
better with bandaid
Mines on Monday now
You could try bandaid modding the plate for the switches (like how you put a strip of bandaid or tape on the plate to make the stab housing not wobble)
ya but it shouldnt be necessary
Alright.. so i've got my certakeys and as warned, the spacebar cannot come back up when i depress it due to the weight of the keycap
What can I do about it? Any where I can get heavier springs?
and sadly, the cerakey's keycap font is really the worst thing about it
worst thing about them is they are ceramic
there I said it
I'm kinda mixed about it now that I've received it
I would buy blanks, but for some reason it doesn't look like the j and k key have a bump
There isn't 😦
damn..
Would you wrap the band aid around the hole along the edges for this ?
the fact that they look so shiny do feel a little... tacky
but the heft that comes with it do feel pretty nice
I do like the shine
just that its a little tacky shiny + really ugly fonts
I just dont like the rgb shinethrough
Anyway for the spacebar.. i swapped a few switches around and apparently one switch managed to support the hefty weight of the spacebar
The spacebar is also a little.. short? Theres a bit of a gap between the spacebar and both he60 alt keys
Kinda.. annoyed :/
i dont have issues with my ceramic spacebar, even the l60 spring is enough to pop it back, but yea not the most reactive one. A guy linked new spring he used for it https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1155567787809456210
i use a wood one instead, way lighter
Theres a pretty notable gap on the spacebar. Its pretty annoying
Might look to change it up
I typically just bag lube the springs and it helps with the ping
yea i just compared the ceramic spacebar with my wood and PBT ones, looks like 1mm is missing
can anyone tell me the difference between plate foam vs silicone under the plate for the pc plate kit
Different sound profile. I believe Calder said that he preferred how silicone sounds in combination with the PC plate instead of the foam that the stock 60HE uses.
and i assume that the foam that came with the pc plate kit is the same as the stock plate foam
yeah, but it also comes with silicone foam as well
yeah ik im asking what the differences are so i can decide which one to put in rn
Yes.
wobble wobble
in terms of acoustics what would be the difference? between the normal foam and the silicone one
No idea. Not going to use mine until the module is out.
I'm sure Sander's got a video coming soon enough.
oo it has the wooting logo on it too 😮
mann I really do want to see how my keyboard would sound with 3 layers of switch tape but I want to do it with the pc plate 😔
hopefully it comes early so that it's on the weekend 🙏
Also gonna pick up the module?
Sure
will we get a video comparing the PC Plate to the Alu plate? i just got my pc plate, but havent been able to install it since 1 of my screws is stripped and i just have not been able to get it to come loose
also, with the different foams i hope
just got my wooting this morning and after 5 hours of lubing and modding here’s what i got
looks amazing, what are you mods ?
still gotta order some o ring for burger mount though
i think i need some white or cream keycaps for mine everyone ive seen looks clean
i tape modded, used the tofu redux foam and i might add medial tape under the stabs
mine are the kuro shiro r3
nice pretty much same as me right now apart from tape under stabs what do you think to the sound ?
i need to holee my stabs cos mine done sound good even after hand lubing them
i think if you want more thocky pc plate is good or you want more flex i guess
my stab wire is loaded with stock lube
no modding faq for the 2he? 
yeah stock lube was actually pretty good
My stabs sound like this at the moment I gotta sort them out still
so i can switch this back into stock case or another case and use the module with the pc plate
in the tofu
plus the new module comes with screw in stabs
yeah i might have to drop some money on that when it comes out
i do have another keyboard from group buy coming which will be more like my work one but i really dig the 60% size !
are those stock stabs from wooting?
yeah
I would buy tx plate mount stabs they're better
unsure if i messed up the lubing on them might wipe it all off and start again
currently my stabs sound perfect
no rattle no ticking
holee modded, bandaid pad modded, and lubed it with 205g0 and molykote
tx plate mount stabs
i tried bandaid under the stabs on the pcb but my stabs seems to stick 😦
what brand of bandaid did you use ?
in the uk we have elastoplast
I used this
ok yeah similar to my ones the fabric ones right
did you guys find that if you press hard down on your stabs it feels mushy with the band aid on the pcb ?
hm must have been my band aids then
even if it feels mushy it will break in over time
if you use bandaid, use just the adhesive part not the gauze
i think i will give it another go
yeah thats what i did
yeah it sounded great just felt mushy
can you dynamic keystroke into holding a function layer?
what does that mean ?
You got it?
Alright let me rephrase
Pc plate is S tier if you want a more silent wooting
Yessir been 2 days now
The silicone plate foam😤😤😤
Match made it heaven
Killmat, silicone and pc. Name a more iconic trio
My wooting smells like lube no cap
Sound test? 😮
Does it feel any different to type on compared to the steel plate?
Now you’re making me want to try the PC plate again
Interesting
3rd time seeing someone said silicone foam with pc plate is a tier
ngl I don't want my wooting to be quiet
Now I’m invested
but I want to see and try it
Then don’t make it quiet
the silicone and pc plate
Lmao
:v
Dude
honestly tempest mod made my wooting less clacky
With gummy oring
Made mine more clacky and louder
Depending on the layers
hmm when I get pc plate I'll try it with poron first and then silicone
still waiting on that comparison video 😔
they really should start showing the products in a video before it gets delivered to people
agree
you should try polyfill
i think you will like it
mine barely made a difference only bc i think im using plastic case
problem is I don't have polyfill
3am here and im sat here putting band aids on my keyboard !!!
on your keyboard?!?!
you put them on your keycaps!?!
😂
get some sleep-
on the pcb under stabs
bandaid mod
cant sleep have a lot on my mind right now
same
but my stabs do sound and feel better now
noice
although im not used to muted sound it gives and some mushyness on the return key
did put lube on it?
nah didnt re lube just band aid mod
no like did you put lube on the bandaid mod
oh no i didnt are you meant to ?
depends
sometime puting lube on the bandaid makes it mushy
mods during recording?
Got it here, hmm my return jey sounds weird
the second I spam at the end is my return key
i hear what you mean
there is this clicky sound
mods?
its like that on all my stabs but worse on the return key
ticking?
tofu redux 60, redux foam, tape mod 3 layers, hand lubed switches and stabs
yeah its clicky you can hear it in the recording
what do you hate o rnot like about it (sound profile)
the sound og my stab keys
what grease did you use
i mean its slightly better with the band aid mod but still not liking it
for switches i used 205g
stabs i used XHT-BDZ
yeah you should def holee mod
sorry for you to read this
but holee mod really should help
yeah someone else mentioned it earlier
it looked a lot of effort for 3am so i didnt do it yet
do it another time when you feel like
it
its kind of tedious if you do it for the first few times
yeah will do i think i need to get some sleep now have a good evening/day catch ya later
it will get much much easier the more you do it
maybe you could make it sound like mine :>
love my sppacebar
si
krytox 205g0 housing and stem
Dieletric grease wires
Holee mod (Fabric bandaid)
Banaid mod (no lube)
the recording on my phone
i dont have my phone rn
ima look for it
maybe i should try Dieletric grease instead of XHT on my stabs
or just look in my sound tests
i tried burger mount but ended up taking them off as it hardly made any difference
oh nice mine sounds nothing like that, you got the tofu case ?
stock
stock wOoTinG
CuS iM bRoKe
although in my recording i was typing a little bit harder than usual cos i thought my phone wouldnt pick up the sound
it's cause a plastic case causes a more thocky sound
oh damn lol
i mean silent sound similar but with alu case
psd60
but my phone is boss and picked it up haha so it sounds like im smashing my keyboard
E-White Tofu60 Redux
MDA Dry Martini keycaps
Everything else factory for now.
looks cozy
i like it
very cute
oh those are pretty cool keycaps
erm any of you guys have usbc cable problem when you move it and it disconnects ?
The key caps are cute. Super smooth though since they aren’t textured…
o
someone here has a problem
i dont
Same, no problem in my side
Dude, that's like one of the best I've seen, and not just from a Wooting build

its literally so CUTE
ill send the video
Thanks!
so that happens
interesante
where do i need to post that to get help ?
ty
the only fix for the guy that had the same problem was to get a different cable
hmm ive not tried another cable
try
wow that cable must be loose if it disconnects that easily
brb
ahh its my cable !! this other one works
gonna get ice cream
is your port set for wooting
yeah
thats weird
yeah the port feels really loose, the cable wiggles alot
yeah no idea it works find if i dont touch the cable though
i think i can loosen the screws and move the keyboard close to the top edge, let me give that a go
I fixed it !!
usbc was not going all the way in because the pcb was a little off
as in i had to push it all the way up and then tighten the screws !
phew !
I filled a budget mechanical keyboard (Epomaker EK68) with foam to make it thock.

just watched a video of a keyboard review on youtube the man used his index finger to hit spacebar dude ! lol
looks nice !
its so heavy though (i have the brass weight)
yeah me too mine weighs 1.57kg
That's normal

My hands feel too scrunched up if I type how you're supposed to
(I only go 80wpm)
Comfort over speed for me
Here’s the sound test. Polycarb keycaps stick to my fingers a bit since its cold.
I need to fix my stabs but that will come later
Dropped it for you chief
Its way better, the only contender would be an alu plate 🫡
I can see it visually flex more. Bur it feels the same
Are you getting any weird "clicking/clacking" sound when the keys bottom out?
That was the biggest thing for me that made me not like it. But I also had my case pretty stuffed full, so it wasn't allowing the PC plate to flex at all.
Well the poly keycaps do make a more plasticy sound by themselves. To me it sounds the same as the steel plate but a bit lower frequency and quieter
This is how mine is setup keycaps-switches-plate-siliconefoam-PEfoam-pcb-Tapemod-Killmat
I like it overal. The wooting will never sound S tier but imo the pc plate makes big improvements to the sound
So when are we getting wooting novelty keycaps
Gliging 135 Keys PBT Japanese Keycaps Cherry Profile DYE-Sub White Theme Minimalist Style Suitable for Mechanical Keyboard https://a.co/d/imTWoSN will these be fine for the wooting??
Man i wish those keycaps or more of the keycaps i see were shinethro
Btw im dumb af so this question might just be totally wrong but, does changing the plate on the keyboard to pc instead of the stock metal one, doesnt it hurt the RGB reflection?
I had mine setup like Keycaps / Switches / PC Plate / Silicone / PCB / MLV / Kilmat.
So you're saying you put in both silicone AND PE foam between plate / pcb?
My PE foam i have is really thin. It easily fits underneath the silicone
It sits on the tops of the pcb held in by the switches
Both are white. I don’t think it changes it
The steel might be a bit more reflective
Ohhh didnt know it was white i see
They both seem to have the same amount of gloss. The PC plate didn't look matte at all to me.
I can’t notice a difference with my own eyes
Hold my beer criminal 🤣
Where are the blanks?
in my closet
i was going to put them again but i failed
put them back
unfortunetly
How lol
wooting should have been like this
You have 2 now tuna ?
The grey one has a wooting pcb below one has dz60 pcb
Black one is tofu60 v1
Nice both look clean !!
Thanks brother
Still didnt mod my wooting tho. No freetime for me 🤣. Lets see if i have a freetime when the pc plate comes
I was up trying to un rattle my stab, didn't success 😭
😦
I also have the gateron ks20 the orange one I bought with the redux case I have not tried them yet and they are my RGB orange i mistook them fornthe lekker l45
i want to buy l45 but its out of stock i will buy ks20 white ones
If you want performance dont get the ks20 and just wait for l45s
gateron ks20 are limited to 0.4mm
oh i didnt know that ty bro
i never look at that
do you guys think this could be good enough?
thats false, just bad info
it wouldnt make any sense for that to be true
Dont get the films
Oh wait its for a redragon nvm
👍
yeah im not gonna use films for my upcoming wooting
So when are you getting your wooting
It would be a waste to spend on a reddragon to just end up with a wooting anyway
in 3 days, im planning to ask for the reddragon on christmas
im just getting into the keyboard hobby
I'm going to be honest with you. The jump from a reddragon to a wooting is pretty big. It would be better spent on case swapping your wooting
nah i just want to build another keyboard
ahhh bet i gotcha
I feel like u could spend this money to mod the wootinh
wooting
Neo65 is a better choice tho if that GB opens on candykeys
Or buy a custom keyboard kit
20 bucks more but its metal
yeah i might use the noico auto dampening foam for the wooting too
Tbh instead of buying a royal kludge why dont u get something like a gmk67
Yeah or this
this one?
Neo65 is a rlly good budget aluminum kit
U can get it on aliexpress for cheaper
Neo65 is S tier for it's price
I heard Candeykeys will open for GB soon
Would definitly recommend to wait for that
neo65 is really good
given the price
gmk67 isnt bad but you wanna get it from aliexpress where you can get it for around 40
then its good value
Currently lubing some switches. It's soothing. But man is it a lot of work 😂 I think i got 60 done now. So almost done for my new TKL build.
Gonna do the Wooting switches after these. But not today 😛
The ones i'm doing right now are Akko CS Jelly Blacks
hey people ill get my 60HE soon and ive got some mods in the chamber, but im not keen on any keycaps yet.... can someone give me a few ideas for ISO-DE layout ?
GL lil bro
okay i know i joked a lot about the pc plates shipping dates being repeatedly moved back but actually what is going on with that
when should i expect to get it?
i saw someone in this chat supposedly got it
like 3 peeps got it
Pochizo and I are getting ours tmrw
pochizo getting it first cus 2 hrs ahead
heh
did they just take longer than expected to get all of the warehouse logistics done or somethinig?
the shipping system from wooting isnt too clever
idk every time Tirade sends message
its like so organize
tirade?
making me like thinking about what im doing to myself
@stray tiger this guy
sorry tirade
the man, the myth, the legend
ah i see
TIRADEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
yeah i recognize that | in the username
anyways
i think your plate is on its way to the warehouse
cus "Back order"
or sum shi like that
well hopefully it will update soon 🫤
well you're going to have to wait longer 
cus once it gets there, you confirm your shipping address in the hub, then wait for fulfillment
althouhg somehow that one is still unfulfilled as well
but while fulfillment the days keep pushing back depending on the status and how many people have ordered theirs
are there any pc plate sound tests available?
ive heard people talking about them but haven't actually heard any
the people that had got theirs havent sent theirs sadly
but i guess they're busy with life after installing
i cant blame them for that
i will try to do combinations when i recieve mine
appreciate it
also wait you gummy o ring modded your tofu redux right?
how did you deal with the standoffs and everything?
Stock case (always)
Case foam: Polyfill, wooting foam
Plate:PC plate+poron/silicone, Steel plate+poron/silicone
Mount:Gummy oring, burger mount, tray mount
i have stock case
oh yeah i forgot
i will be the people that will have stock case for a long time
mhm
i dont really have to worry about it
cus i use tempest mod and since im gummy oring mounting it i dont have to punch holes for the case standoffs
but it doesnt really matter as well cus im going to have to punch holes anyways for the test recording for yall
and now since im using pollyfill there's no way the pcb is going to touch the standoff since its covered
i mean i kind of have a similar thing with my mlv where its really thick
overall no issues with it
i need to find a way to shave it down bc atm its contacting the pcb quite a bbit
what case?
mounting style?
?
i have not disassembled it since
it sounds like it
lol im kind of an idiot and forgot i changed the mounting
lol
but it definitely was before
you could see imprints of some of the chips on the mlv
was not good
burger mount is using 2 orings and sandwhiching the module, screws, and case together
yeah i suck at explaining
homework is driving me insane
mlv is foam right?
yep i have burger mount with nylon screws
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
its vinyl
that is really good at sound dampening
interesting
kind of like a rougher version of vinyl
reduces case pinging to actually non existent levels
Comparing a bunch of different sound dampening materials because I’m bored.
While I didn’t include this in the video, I chose to go with MLV and Poron in the case and PE foam on top of the PCB for sound dampening. It’s got a nice marbly thock sound going on :eyes:

got idea from here
i like it but i think it kind of emphasizes some of the not great sounds of lekker switches and steel plate
like high risk high reward or something
i see what you're talking about
honestly idk but at least my case sounds good with it
it removes only like the noises coming from the case?
but only now produces the module noises
im guessing 💀
thats what it sort of feels like to me
like if i tap on my case it sounds like a straight up brick or something
with most items i can only hear the noises of the items hitting it but not the case like at all
also appears to have made it weigh more
the only differences for me comparing wooting foam and polyfill in stock case was the poly fill sounding nearly the same but a tiny bit deeper but almost close to same, also made it more bouncier since im using gasket mount
"mass loaded" vinyl 😂
yeah clearly there is some substance to that name
its a very dense material
actually the day it arrived
i happened to break a window
2x2 feet
i got 5 sq ft because that was the lowest quantity i could get
i used 4 of the panels in a grid over the window
unironically just about forgot that the window was broken a couple times in the like week before it was fixed
pretty great soundproofing
maybe too good
possibly so
depends on what you want exactly
i think im a fan
its not cheap thouhg
cost me like 35$ if i remember correctly
of course the amount i put into they keyboard was 1/10 of what i got
bc that was the minimum quantity i could orderr
yessirrr
your batch is not in the hub
so pretty much your thing is not shipped nor ready
should be there once its at warehouse
We’re both getting it on the same day
lets see how different the results are for both of us
#🔧│keyboard_modding message this one has a soundtest
i think im going to order rhe kbdfans carbon fiber plate for my wooting
does that even fit?
dude- don't you dare buy that shit
yes it does (With the KBDfans Screw kit)
but
if you install is your wooting aint even gonna work properly
The flex cuts are the problem. Whoever made the plates for wooting in kbdfans did not do their homework.
The problem with the FR4 plate is it has flex cuts, if the plate flexs then the switches will go down flexing with it which means the sensor will activate even though we didnt press it. Plus FR4 itself already can flex so thats even worst for the wooting.
Same thing for Carbon Fiber
The POM however im not sure, it needs to be at a certain thickness
@gritty basin
https://smkeyboards.com/products/wooting-60he-plate?variant=43954051580151 if you want FR4 get it from here
Our custom plates for the Wooting 60HE is perfect to improve the sound of the original keyboard. Easily switch out the plate to improve typing experience and sound of your Wooting 60HE. Metal plates will be 1.5mm thick (the same as the original plate) Plastic plates such as POM, PETG and Impact Modified Acrylic are 1.5
But still wouldnt recommend
nah i just want carbon fiber
Mb i didnt read your thing but still dont buy it
flex cuts are the no no's
❌
If you can’t be convinced to not buy it, give it a try and let us know how the flex affects the Wooting’s functionality. Haha
rip
lmao
i want my wooting to be higher piteched
well then do a different mod other than getting one kbdfan's plate
what mods do you have currently
Cherry keycaps, thicker foam. The steel plate is already good for clack I think.
or add 10 layers of tempest 😂
got a question for the wooting 60he anybody know of any 3rd party plate stabalizers?
you can just use any stabs that are platemount
but if u must know then I use tx plate mount stabs
this was the answer i was looking for lol
im bored
I want to custom laser cut a POM plate for the 60he since there are no (inexpensive) options in ISO, does anybody know if 1.5mm is the right thickness?
yes
1.5mm 👍
good luck
@fluid ravine carbon fiber plate from tofu really messes it up?
from tofu?
wdym from tofu
you mean from kbdfans? (Tofu cases are from kbdfans)
yeah my bad
anyways yes
it does
god bless i decided against it 💀
this is my 2nd keeb im ever building so im hoping i dont forget to buy anything 😭
waiting for the module to come out late october though
so you're building a 60he with the new module
yea
ah good for you
any mods you would reccomand?
What would you recommend?
i was gonna buy the tofu60 redux, the 45 lekker switches, then the 60he module once they release it
ok might not reply as quickly (Cus im in a game)
but i would first read #🪛│modding_faq
i was gonna buy some poron foam switch pads and some o rings for burger mount as well
guys im back
Basic wooting mods:
Lubing
Case Swap
Keycaps
Tempest Mod
Burger mount
Bandaid mod, Holee Mod (Optional)
(I would recommend)
Thank you! 🙂
In depth mods (That you could do):
Switch Tape Mod
Case Foam
Plate Swap
Different Mounting Style
Films
Switch Pads or PE foam mod (0.5mm)
Stabilizers Swap
Random shi you could do with tape
these are the only things that come out of my mind
i know theres like a few more but thats all i can think of
w
i have poron switch pads right now at the moment
What is a poron switch pad?
Switch Pads are foam material pads that goes under the switch onto the PCB
They can dampen the sound of the switch or can make it sound cleaner in a way
Poron is a type of foam material
Switch pads can come in as PE, Poron, and EVA
does doing PE foam and poron switch pads do anything tg or no
is it pointless
wdym
idk im still new to the modding, i didnt know if doubling up on foam would make a difference or not
The PE foam mod and poron switch pads does affect the sound profile yes
those 2 mods have their own effects
do you have a link for PE foam that you reccomand
Doesn’t the switch pads affect the Hall effect switches?
depends on the thickness
.5mm works fine
but .25mm is better if you dont wanna take risk
you could buy packing foaam
that is .5mm
or you could buy one of the switch pads option
haai papi :)
suffering
from homework
2 projects and 1 essay
playing rn cus i need a break
i have a algebruh test tmrw
lightwork
helping these 2 fellows with recommendation and their questions why have 0 braincells


Thank you for the information
npnp
I just noticed the L45 ( lekker 45s) are lighter than mx speed silver switchesss damnnn thats nice
I tried the ones i lubed last week now for the first time
Im guessing lighter = better for gaming overall
They sound the same as the L60s tho really nice
Will do these in different mounting styles (Tray mount, Buger mount, Gummy O'ring Mount)
No Tempest
Steel Plate+Silicone Foam+Polyfill
Steel Plate+Poron Foam+PolyFill
Steel Plate+Silicone Foam+Wooting Foam
Steel Plate+Poron Foam+Wooting Foam

Final:Whatever Sounds Best
This is the recordings i will do once i recieve the pc plate^^
Yes I will sacrifice the hours of my life just to give yall sound test
Wait this is overkill-
16 recordings 💀
i gotta find a efficient way to do this
helllll no
Ima going to need a few days to do all this
saurrr
what case do u use?
ty
Need Pom plate too
think im gonna go klippe over tofu
My only issue is how high it sits, not the biggest fan of it compared to the redux
Nah just personally prefer lower angles and stuff like that
