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.

granite quiver
#

Ah, what is the reason ?

#

Because I saw on youtube someone doing that

Hmmm.. i do not find the answer

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 - "

austere creek

thats not switchpads

civic salmon
#

That's keycaps, not switch pads

marble shuttle
#

They dont know the truth

granite quiver
civic salmon
#

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

granite quiver
#

I understand now

#

And about the tape masking, is it ok ?

civic salmon
#

Yes

#

However, you should look into burger mount instead

#

You can do both, or either or

granite quiver
#

What is burger mount ?

civic salmon
#

I prefer the sound of burger mount. I've tried the tape mod and it didn't really do much

#

Here

granite quiver
#

Okay i will watch it after my work <.<

thick mural
#

they not only offset the reading of the hall effect sensor but it can also deform the plate

#

especially the space bar section

granite quiver
#

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

#

question for the flaretech switch designers, what spec spring did you use for the black switches

bronze grove
#

You're asking about 4 year old info. I'm sure you can find old reviews or a blog post on our website.

untold wigeon
#

fair enough

#

hopefully i can

wooting clacks?

#

i will try a plate swap a month later

#

carbon fiber

granite quiver
#

So I cannot choose... Maybe IRL this is different but currently I don't know

civic salmon
#

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

gritty basin
#

use foam

#

burger and tape makes it more thocky

#

bandaid mods makes the stabs sound a bit more mushy

granite quiver
#

I could mess

civic salmon
#

I don't believe painters tape leaves any residue

#

I tried it out and removed it without any issues

granite quiver
#

I will try this one I think

#

Thanks for the proposition

unique temple
#

are the wooting two he stabilizers plate mounted?

crimson sky
#

yes

unique temple
#

the lube bottle is what's convincing me tbh

crimson sky
#

looks like an oil

#

which is basically the opposite of what you want

#

just get 205g0

#

and lube the stock stabilizers

unique temple
#

i'm getting ready to mod my future wooting two he

reef anchor
#

anyone recommend using the wooting foam or tofu redux foam

gritty basin
#

wooting foam cant fit in the redux

#

and also you cant install the screw beside the spacebar

#

idk why

#

but

#

its like that

reef anchor
#

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?

marble shuttle
#

There is a golden screw inside of the redux

#

You have to put first then screw

reef anchor
#

does it make much difference if i leave it with no crew?

marble shuttle
#

It wont be Stable without screw i didnt see any difference

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

idle warren
#

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

stray tiger
idle warren
#

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

stray tiger
#

Changing your plate made your keycap get stuck on your switch?

idle warren
#

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

stray tiger
#

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!

idle warren
#

So im guessing its a tolerance issue with my current ones

idle warren
#

I think the silicone is definitly the biggest contributer to the sound

stray tiger
#

Oh I see what you mean now. The way your switch stem aligns with your aftermarket stab stems

idle warren
#

But if you want a more deep sounding board install the PC plate with silicone

#

Did you get yours yet btw?

stray tiger
idle warren
#

any ETA on yours?

Thought would be a vid about the pc plate sound test

rain leaf
#

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?

digital ore

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?

keen prism
#

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

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

Very hot

Hate these new switches so bad

They’re so crunchy

Even after lube

fluid ravine

The new l60s are terrible

#

Gotta use l45 to try to hide it

fluid ravine
digital gust
#

Yeah they changed them a bit back

fluid ravine
#

thats "new" 😂

digital gust
#

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

fluid ravine
#

oh ya?

#

whats different

digital gust
#

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

fluid ravine
#

interesting

digital gust
#

Yup

fluid ravine
#

i think they were trying to make a tactile lekker 😂

digital gust
#

Lmao

#

Really?

#

The orange ones right?

#

I’ve been tempted but I use white rgb

quiet bay

#

Nope that’s just how they are now

Gotten 3 sets of switches an all have been that way

Unless I’m reeeeally unlucky

quiet bay

#

I got some again about a week ago and they felt the same

glacial wind
#

Ks20s literally made by some manufacturer

#

They just use different weight spring

digital gust

Heard the lubing on them is really good

glacial wind
#

They’re all same same mostly

#

Yep

untold wigeon
fluid ravine
quiet bay
#

indeed switch tape reduces stem wobble by alot

fluid ravine
quiet bay
#

ya

#

I think it's good to have a bit of stem wobble though

#

or else more friction the tighter it is (probably)

fluid ravine
#

yeah maybe

#

i dont really pay attention to stem wobble at all

quiet bay
#

me neither lol

#

if it feels good to type on it's fine to me

fluid ravine
#

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

lilac island
#

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

bronze grove
lilac island
bronze grove
#

You tell me. Does it touch the PCB when screwed together?

lilac island
#

yeah it does i have tape mod as well

#

but the stock case and stock foam when it came touched the pbc i believe ?

bronze grove
#

Mnope

lilac island
#

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

lilac island
#

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

#

does anybody else have issues with switches being pulled out while taking off keycaps?

#

specifically enter and Rshift

bronze grove
#

On what?

near barn
#

wooting60he

quiet bay
near barn
#

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

keen prism
#

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

quiet bay
#

switch coming out with the keycap is most definitely a switch being loose problem 🤷‍♂️

keen prism
#

probably

#

but they dont go in anymore so

#

its whatever its not even like the keycaps are coming off often

near barn
#

at first i assumed maybe i mightve broken a switch, so i swapped em but it still happens

quiet bay
#

and the switch is going all the way in the plate?

near barn
quiet bay
#

I just clean it when it becomes too dirty to my liking

near barn
#

is it possible that it could have something to do with stabilizers?

#

only switches with stabilizers are being pulled out along with my keycaps

quiet bay
#

like you could hear a noticeable sound when it secures in

keen prism
#

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

quiet bay
near barn
keen prism
near barn
#

im using the same amount of force(if not, less on the one that popped out) when pushing each switch

bronze grove
#

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.

near barn
#

that actually was a spare that i got with my wooting uwu..

bronze grove
quiet bay
keen prism
#

xd

bronze grove
#

Could be a case of plate tolerances.

keen prism
#

maybe you just got unlucky with the plate ig

near barn
#

i was also thinking it might've been because of the way i pulled them out with my switch puller when hotswapping

keen prism
#

if its a fresh switch

quiet bay
#

if it's not the switch then it's most likely the plate

keen prism
#

these things happen unfortunately

near barn
#

oof oh well then

keen prism
#

not saying its normal or should ever happen but

near barn
#

thanks for your guys' time anyways, appreciate getting closure on this problem

keen prism
#

the only things i can think of are plate tolerances screwing you

#

or uhh

#

idk

#

yeah thats it

quiet bay
#

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 ?

#

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

#

the fact that they look so shiny do feel a little... tacky

#

but the heft that comes with it do feel pretty nice

quiet bay
#

I do like the shine

orchid girder
#

just that its a little tacky shiny + really ugly fonts

quiet bay
#

I just dont like the rgb shinethrough

orchid girder
#

Anyway for the spacebar.. i swapped a few switches around and apparently one switch managed to support the hefty weight of the spacebar

quiet bay
#

I feel like it'd look so much better

#

if it didn

#

shine through

#

would look cleaner

orchid girder
#

The spacebar is also a little.. short? Theres a bit of a gap between the spacebar and both he60 alt keys

#

Kinda.. annoyed :/

#

i use a wood one instead, way lighter

#

Theres a pretty notable gap on the spacebar. Its pretty annoying

in terms of acoustics what would be the difference? between the normal foam and the silicone one

just got my wooting this morning and after 5 hours of lubing and modding here’s what i got

lilac island
fading otter
#

still gotta order some o ring for burger mount though

lilac island
#

i think i need some white or cream keycaps for mine everyone ive seen looks clean

fading otter
#

i tape modded, used the tofu redux foam and i might add medial tape under the stabs

#

mine are the kuro shiro r3

lilac island
#

nice pretty much same as me right now apart from tape under stabs what do you think to the sound ?

fading otter
#

it’s thockier than my gmmk pro haha

#

i actually love the sound

lilac island
#

i need to holee my stabs cos mine done sound good even after hand lubing them

fading otter
#

debating if pc plate is necessary

#

i got lazy to holee after lubing the switches

lilac island

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

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

what brand of bandaid did you use ?

#

in the uk we have elastoplast

quiet bay
lilac island
#

ok yeah similar to my ones the fabric ones right

fading otter
#

i used medical tape

#

3m nexcare

lilac island
#

did you guys find that if you press hard down on your stabs it feels mushy with the band aid on the pcb ?

fading otter
#

not really

#

my tape feels solid it just makes the stabs less likely to wiggle

lilac island
#

hm must have been my band aids then

fading otter
#

even if it feels mushy it will break in over time

#

if you use bandaid, use just the adhesive part not the gauze

lilac island
#

i think i will give it another go

lilac island
fading otter
#

try 3m nexcare if u can

#

it also dampens sound? kinda

yeah it sounded great just felt mushy

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

the only fix for the guy that had the same problem was to get a different cable

hmm ive not tried another cable

fluid ravine

wow that cable must be loose if it disconnects that easily

fluid ravine

thats weird

yeah the port feels really loose, the cable wiggles alot

fluid ravine
#

uh oh

#

not gud

lilac island
#

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 !

#

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.

idle warren
#

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

reef lava
#

So when are we getting wooting novelty keycaps

weak mica
reef lava
#

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?

vivid jetty
idle warren
#

It sits on the tops of the pcb held in by the switches

idle warren
#

The steel might be a bit more reflective

reef lava
#

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 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

gateron ks20 are limited to 0.4mm

do you guys think this could be good enough?

it wouldnt make any sense for that to be true

Oh wait its for a redragon nvm

marble shuttle
idle warren
#

Films don't do anything for the wooting switches

#

isn't it the same mold?

unique temple
idle warren
#

It would be a waste to spend on a reddragon to just end up with a wooting anyway

unique temple
#

in 3 days, im planning to ask for the reddragon on christmas

#

im just getting into the keyboard hobby

idle warren
#

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

unique temple
idle warren
#

ahhh bet i gotcha

Neo65 is a better choice tho if that GB opens on candykeys

Or buy a custom keyboard kit

20 bucks more but its metal

this one?

I heard Candeykeys will open for GB soon

Would definitly recommend to wait for that

keen prism
#

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.

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

fluid ravine
#

Pochizo and I are getting ours tmrw

all this time i was ahead of you

eh nvm

i dont think you're ready to be queued into fulfillment yet

ah i see

TIRADEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

exotic plaza
#

yeah i recognize that | in the username

fluid ravine

anyways

#

i think your plate is on its way to the warehouse

#

cus "Back order"

#

or sum shi like that

exotic plaza
#

well hopefully it will update soon 🫤

fluid ravine
exotic plaza
#

i ordered kbdfans pom plate as well

#

one of them will arrive eventually

fluid ravine
#

cus once it gets there, you confirm your shipping address in the hub, then wait for fulfillment

exotic plaza
#

althouhg somehow that one is still unfulfilled as well

fluid ravine
#

but while fulfillment the days keep pushing back depending on the status and how many people have ordered theirs

exotic plaza
#

are there any pc plate sound tests available?

#

ive heard people talking about them but haven't actually heard any

fluid ravine
#

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

exotic plaza
#

also wait you gummy o ring modded your tofu redux right?

#

how did you deal with the standoffs and everything?

fluid ravine
#

Stock case (always)
Case foam: Polyfill, wooting foam
Plate:PC plate+poron/silicone, Steel plate+poron/silicone
Mount:Gummy oring, burger mount, tray mount

fluid ravine
exotic plaza
#

oh yeah i forgot

fluid ravine
#

i will be the people that will have stock case for a long time

exotic plaza
#

i saw some of the vids

#

you sent

fluid ravine
#

mhm

fluid ravine
#

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

exotic plaza
#

i mean i kind of have a similar thing with my mlv where its really thick

fluid ravine
#

overall no issues with it

exotic plaza
#

i need to find a way to shave it down bc atm its contacting the pcb quite a bbit

fluid ravine
#

what case?

exotic plaza
#

which im pretty sure is half of why my board sounds inconsistent

#

tofu redux

fluid ravine
#

mounting style?

exotic plaza
#

burger mount

#

well at least i think it still is?

fluid ravine
exotic plaza
#

i have not disassembled it since

#

it sounds like it

#

lol im kind of an idiot and forgot i changed the mounting

fluid ravine
#

lol

exotic plaza
#

but it definitely was before

#

you could see imprints of some of the chips on the mlv

#

was not good

fluid ravine
#

burger mount is using 2 orings and sandwhiching the module, screws, and case together

#

yeah i suck at explaining

#

homework is driving me insane

fluid ravine
exotic plaza
#

yep i have burger mount with nylon screws

#

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

its vinyl

#

that is really good at sound dampening

fluid ravine
#

interesting

exotic plaza
#

kind of like a rougher version of vinyl

fluid ravine
exotic plaza
#

reduces case pinging to actually non existent levels

fluid ravine
#

o

#

thats kewl

exotic plaza
#

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

fluid ravine
#

i see what you're talking about

exotic plaza
#

honestly idk but at least my case sounds good with it

fluid ravine
#

it removes only like the noises coming from the case?

#

but only now produces the module noises

#

im guessing 💀

exotic plaza
#

thats what it sort of feels like to me

fluid ravine
#

ic

#

i wondering what polyfill sounds like in alu case (60he)

exotic plaza
#

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

fluid ravine
#

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

fluid ravine
exotic plaza
#

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

fluid ravine
exotic plaza
#

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

#

your batch is not in the hub

#

so pretty much your thing is not shipped nor ready

#

should be there once its at warehouse

quiet bay
#

We’re both getting it on the same day

#

lets see how different the results are for both of us

spiral aspen
gritty basin
#

i think im going to order rhe kbdfans carbon fiber plate for my wooting

fluid ravine
fluid ravine
#

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

#

But still wouldnt recommend

gritty basin
fluid ravine
#

flex cuts are the no no's

#

wraith notch
#

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

gritty basin
#

#

i want my wooting to be higher piteched

fluid ravine
#

what mods do you have currently

wraith notch
#

Cherry keycaps, thicker foam. The steel plate is already good for clack I think.

fluid ravine
#

or add 10 layers of tempest 😂

got a question for the wooting 60he anybody know of any 3rd party plate stabalizers?

but if u must know then I use tx plate mount stabs

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?

@fluid ravine carbon fiber plate from tofu really messes it up?

you mean from kbdfans? (Tofu cases are from kbdfans)

yeah my bad

yea

fluid ravine

ah good for you

any mods you would reccomand?

but what are you buying though

so i can get an idea on whats going on

ok might not reply as quickly (Cus im in a game)

naive hill
fluid ravine
#

guys im back

fluid ravine
#

(I would recommend)

fluid ravine
#

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

fluid ravine
#

i have poron switch pads right now at the moment

burnt gust
fluid ravine
#

Poron is a type of foam material
Switch pads can come in as PE, Poron, and EVA

naive hill
#

is it pointless

naive hill
#

idk im still new to the modding, i didnt know if doubling up on foam would make a difference or not

fluid ravine
#

The PE foam mod and poron switch pads does affect the sound profile yes

#

those 2 mods have their own effects

naive hill
#

do you have a link for PE foam that you reccomand

prime pond
fluid ravine
#

.5mm works fine

#

but .25mm is better if you dont wanna take risk

fluid ravine
#

that is .5mm

#

or you could buy one of the switch pads option

#

haai papi :)

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
