#

also how is the 3 switch tape mod going

#

does it feel tactile

#

or perfectly linear

fluid ravine
#

except my escape key

#

full on tactile

quiet bay
#

o

fluid ravine
#

but i dont mind it
for the funnzies

quiet bay
#

forgot about the effects, what did added another layer do again?

fluid ravine
#

fully dampens the top housing sound

#

i think only produce bottom out sound now

quiet bay
#

ah ok

#

I'll try it again sometime now that I dont have the films on my alphas

fluid ravine
#

for the ones that has or done the switch tape mod. Don't worry if your one or a few of your switch feels tactile, you just messed up. The only solution to this is just start over but do it correctly and making sure the tape sticks flat in the top housing.

#

If the switch has a very tiny tactility you can leave it alone. It will smooth out over time.

Parallel Limited

Parallel O-Rings vary based on hardness. Hardness is inversely correlated to “bounciness” or “feel” of typing on the keyboard, allowing for deep customization of your typing experience. These O-rings can be used with Parallel 65% keyboards, such as Sequence & Portal, as well as a few other custom boards.

would be nice if wooting improved on the switches

honeslty just appreciate their hardwork

45 is fine but im not buying a whole new set of switches for -15g

ks20s sacrifice performance

they take 0.1 as lekkers, tbh its real clones

If it doesn't sacrifice performance and is cheaper then yeah I say get it

im assuming theres also no official films for the ks20

ok then nevermind havo

but because my lekkers are already modded i just dont use my KS20 set pepejuice

my stabs are still ticking after tuning the wire, but not when I tap the keycaps instead when I press the key down. what could I do?

bandaid below the wire maybe?

# cyan summit

When you say you lubed, what lube did you use on the stabilizer wires?

cyan summit
cyan summit
#

I think I gotta take a better look at the wire but since it doesn't tick when I only tap the keycap I have no clue

stray tiger
#

What kind of lube on the wires? @cyan summit

cyan summit
#

I use molykote em-50l from the set

#

and krytox 205g0 for stems and housing

stray tiger
#

OK, wanted to make sure you used a grease on the wires and not the 205. When you lubed the wires did you coat them thick and up around the bends?

stray tiger
#

If you haven't watched this video I highly recommend it https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8?si=oOXHTA3QWP8LJJ2z

Here is how I mod my stabilizers. I get asked this a lot of my streams and honestly, I figured why not just record this so I can link this video instead of having to re-explain it every time. I hope you enjoy it. Please remember this video is only covering lubing and installing, some stabs like cherry clip-ins, you'll need to clip the bottom leg...

I use every finger on my left hand I think. I haven't been home since January so 🤷‍♂️

crimson shoal
grizzled path
#

pretty bad overall, slowly getting better. the biggest problems are the insane peeker's advantage, interpolation problems and client vs server spray desync

cyan summit
#

not the cs2 the majority was expecting

grizzled path
#

but as a core it's great, and it's going to get good eventually. they just made a mistake of releasing now, before fixing the glaring issues

#

oh and subtick movement is ass vs de-subticked movement or 128 tick movement

#

because it's inconsistent.. oh well I could rant forever about the problems honestly

crimson shoal
#

Yeah that's about what it sounds like. But it still seems worth the play just with shit like smokes and visuals

#

But I heard they fucked movement and sprays a bit

#

I'm happy that I get to wait so long until I can play again, by that time it'll be more refined, but I'm hoping they solve the glaring issues you mentioned

#

I think csgo was getting very dry, and it was a lot easier to play a game or three when I didn't have to work so much

#

So I love that they shortened the match length a little bit, it forced me to go to apex and valorant sometimes

dapper kernel
#

Cs2 💀

grizzled path
#

at its core it's still CS so it's still better than any other competitive fps game calderpog
I'm sure they'll do their best to fix stuff, but it took around 4-5 years for csgo to get everything near perfect, and of course it still wasn't perfect at the end, as nothing can be really

#

I'm kind of on the fence about mr12, it's kind of fun to play more games but with the current economy it's not that great. some adjustments needed there too for sure

solo'd to global in csgo but here most of the time you get teammates who are just starting the game and play against a 5 stack every time. the ratings can be all over the place and the system values fast queue times too much, I'd really like for it to give a game a minute later if that meant a better game

Yeah the stock stabs are pretty good actually. Even the spacebar sounds pretty good 🙂

#

Only thing you would need to do is maybe lube the stabs and wires.

#

You could also get the wires out and check if they are bent at all. You can do this by putting it on a flat surface and then tapping the wire to see if there is any movement

A decent sound comparison with an alu plate as well as Wooting's PC

I've got a sweet new 60HE keyboard on the way that I'm super stoked about. I'm hoping to pimp it out with some funky keycaps like the ones in the pic I just pasted.
It's got a Nordic layout though, so it needs caps with the extra tall enter key and ÅÄÖ keys. Anyone know where a guy could find white caps like these that would fit?

Keep in mind that these keycaps will have almost no light on the lettering.

i tested with thick dyesub pbt too

#

but cant find the video anymore

#

just format my phone last month

#

you still use the stock steel plate though

#

in a tray mount case

#

the o-ring won't change that it sits stiff af in the case

#

which amplifies the sound

stray tiger
#

You're both right and wrong. The switch's sounds are indeed limited by the steel plate (but not by the magnet) and tray mounting. Gummy mounting 100% helps eliminate sound dead spots that arise with conventional tray mounting as there are no connection points. Softer o-rings do provide a little bounce (not flex) but it will never be the same as a gasket mount feel.

crimson sky
#

the o-ring helps

#

but it still is a tray mount

#

unless you remove the tray mounting points

#

and add enough support pillars to fully mount with the oring you won't get rid of it

pale aspen
#

does l45 sound better than l60?

stray tiger
#

I just use a large enough diameter o-ring to float the PCB above the standoffs and then I put a small silicone rubber pad in each corner that sits .5mm higher than the highest stand offs.

crimson sky
pale aspen
#

ah

crimson sky
#

which reduces the dampening effect

stray tiger
#

Its no tighter than a gummy mount on my 2 other gummy mounted boards

crimson sky
#

I have seen how tight yours is

pale aspen
#

my future build would be
oring with pc/ carbon figre plate from kbdfan

crimson sky
#

and it is much tighter than any gummy mount board I have ever owned

#

so like 5 different customs

stray tiger
#

I have a Parallell 65 as well and the gummy is just as tight. In fact it might be tighter because of the bend around the 65% spacer

crimson sky
#

that is specifically an issue with that board though

cyan adder

And I don’t wanna do anything wrong

The second part of the sentence? ABout the silicone rubber in the corner?

I've been trying to get it going for the past hour, looks like it just worked, not sure tho, if it comes back I'll submit a thread

cyan adder
#

Thanks for explaining. Wouldn’t it be better to put these directly on the standoffs ?

#

Also is this mandatory ? @fluid ravine @quiet bay have u guys put also these adhesives rubber bumpers in the corners of your cases ?

stray tiger
#

Def not mandatory, just preference

fluid ravine
cyan adder
#

Yeah I guess

#

Im using case foam aswell so I guess it helps also

fluid ravine
#

Switching periods rn hehe

cyan adder
#

I also have these on my usb c standoff

stray tiger
#

I first started using the silicone pads when I was testing out the Baldr60 case. I removed all of the standoffs in the case and just floated the board at the corners using the pads. The o-ring was firm enough to keep the PCB from falling out

cyan adder
#

I do think I already have those rubber things from my IKEA desk

Some, who customized their Wooting 60HE, stumbled upon one part that they didn't like and wished they could change. And that part was usually the Steel plate. Steel is known to produce high-frequency sounds in the keyboard space, and that's why plenty of people tend to lean towards a polycarbonate plate. Let's hear what a difference it all makes...

lubing spring remove the spring ping, top/btm housing dampens the press/release sound etc

#

they do make a difference unless ure only lubing the stem then it will just feel smoother and more consistent than the factory lube

#

also pc plate with no foam sounds kinda sick tho

jade hazel

Lubing them yourself will make them sound more consistent than factory lubed

Theres a gummy o ring, burger mount, and one that u put under ur keycaps which is not good

dapper kernel
#

Most likely burger mounting

#

Just to make it sound more uniform than tray mount for the most part

Burger mount basically kinda removes contact from the case

I tried grease for stab and i went right back to good old krytox 💀

Damn what happened

Too mushy, krytox just feels much smoother for me

Just make the Wooting sound as good as you possibly can with these switches. Use it for gaming and be happy. Build a different keyboard for work, etc. That's how i'm doing it 🙂

quiet bay

How much did u apply on that wire pepesweat

#

But yeah whatever floats your boat

dapper kernel
jade hazel
quiet bay
#

205g0 can still be used on wires

dapper kernel
#

Just too dense for me i guess

#

Yeah krytox works well on stab too just that u might have to reapply a little sooner than grease

quiet bay
#

Whenever I try reapplying lube to my stabs it always results in a sticky mess

left zealot
#

I'm using Superlube for the wires. Dieelectric grease.

#

And Krytox for the stabs and switches

quiet bay
#

I use molykote from the wooting lube kit and my fingers got sticky from touching it

crimson sky
#

I just squeeze xht-bdz in a mounted stab with a syringe

left zealot
#

You can use Krytox but it's not as thick for wires.

crimson sky
#

Works (almost) every time

#

Completely kills rattle while not ruining feel

#

Only if the stabs feel scratchy i need to also put 205g0 on the stem with a brush

I did molyko first too but washed and switched to krytox

You'd need to fully clean it tho

dapper hazel
#

sometimes having some spac emakes the switch push it further up pulling the sliders up and against the wire

crimson sky
#

Also check how tight the housings sit in the plate

dapper hazel
#

yeah, some people actually add 0.1mm washers on top of the pcb to move the stab a bit higher than the switch - putting those stab tapes under it probably does the exact same thing

dapper kernel
dapper hazel
#

more down so the spacebar sits all the way on the stab sliders

dapper kernel

The stab sits well on the plate no shake for that mounting stab has to give dogekek

becuse if not then the switch would pull it further than the sliders go, know what i mean?

dapper kernel
dapper hazel

you could get thockfilms to film your switches, that pack has 16 0.1mm washers in it for hot swap boards, could use those to mod your stabs :D

So i had to change it to a raisin spacebar keycaps havo

But hyped for my pc plates even with my stabs being slightly off blobaww

crimson shoal
#

So who prefers the gateron orange switches (ks20?) Over lekker and why?

spiral canyon
#

I prefer lekkers basing on familiarity bias, as I haven't tried gaterons, but I've tried lekkers and I liked them

crimson shoal
# neat path it's the same

Apparently there's a slight difference with actuation or force, including mushiness at the bottom. That's what I've heard but I'm curious if anybody's tried both here

neat path
#

and i still use my modded lekkers

crimson shoal
#

Just lubed?

neat path
#

yes hand lubed and switch tape modded

crimson shoal
#

You like thock then, what case do you use?

stray tiger
neat path
stray tiger
#

For fun here are 8 stabilizer sound tests using different plates, mounting styles and brands. All lubed with oil on housings and grease on the wires.

crimson sky
#

which calder personally refused to use

#

so if there are any "major" changes I would assume them to be worse if anything

stray tiger
crimson sky
#

👍

#

so they prob just increased life of the toolings or something I assume

#

"increased" aka just made the number higher without any significant changes

#

or increased regrind or something

stray tiger
#

Well as he mentioned, even if you have a failure rate off of the die that's under 1% thats still a lot of lost switches. They likely made a change to decrease those failures but that changed increased issues with the switch.

#

Again, its very very unlikely they retooled an entire new line for their switches

crimson sky
#

aka no major changes

#

only way they could actually improve them is better factory lube or polished toolings ig?

#

both of which should be noticeable immediatley

crimson sky
#

which they aren't

stray tiger
#

Oh I dont know about that, there may be a ton of ways to improve the switch, in fact Wooting has made some revisions themselves to make them better. Its when the manufacturer makes a change in order to decrease waste (increase revenue) and that change impacts the functionality of the switch, thats the issue.

#

We may see a Lekker 2.0 in the future that makes significant changes, who knows.

crimson sky
#

well knowing what gateron atm does to make a switch better than the ks-3 they made ages ago

#

whichever case you want

#

and keycaps

crimson shoal
stray tiger
#

If you want official support and like 45g or 60g then get a lekker switch. If you want another spring weight and dont mind 3rd party then get the ks20

crimson sky
#

it comes with switches

#

just use those

#

oh

#

thought it did

#

well

#

get whichever wheighting you like most

stray tiger
#

Thats the advantage of the module, customization!

crimson sky
#

I will go for l60 personally

#

since I tend to use a similar weighting with longer than standard springs

dapper kernel
#

I have ks-20 white and they feel the same tbh

crimson sky
#

KEKW I don't even know when module sales go up

#

entirely ootl

dapper kernel

Since they fixed the issue, go for l45 imo

stray tiger

already got baited into buying a keeb today

so next months fits well for me KEKW

stray tiger

I was out this weekend so dont 100% quote me on that but that was the last I heard

Which 2?

there are 2 lekkers already

I'm planning to order the 45's with my module since those are the only ones I havent tried yet

stray tiger
crimson shoal
#

Gotcha

stray tiger
#

I much prefer the spring weight of the 60's but that's truly a personal preference

#

Plus I wouldnt like being pigeon holed into an orange hue for every color

#

I have to imagine a nice white RGB effect would look great with your black set up

#

Im not either honestly. I tend to pick a specific muted color and leave it at that. Currently its orange ironically lol

crimson shoal
#

Are the L45's quieter or better in any way? I understand that springs are lighter but that's it

#

Are the L60s more similar to the force of a generic dell keyboard, or more like a cherry mx red?

stray tiger
#

... it's nothing big, just clean-up and updates

exotic plaza
stray tiger
#

@fluid ravine link me the gummy o-ring you used so I can add to the FAQ

dapper kernel
stray tiger
#

Ive only used the graveshift ones. Also, gummy mounting will likely be impossible with the 60HE module due the scew-in stabs

exotic plaza
#

wait why do plate mount stabs not allow gummy mounting?

#

would the o ring interfere with the stabilizers on the edges or something?

stray tiger
#

screw-in stabs would prevent it because they mount on the edge of the PCB causing the o-ring to push out too far

exotic plaza
#

would wooting not have the stabilizers screw in to basically the same spot they are already in?

#

even if you have extra space for screws i doubt it would reach the edge of the board

exotic plaza
#

wouldn't it depend on how wooting positions their screws?

#

i dont know a lot about this topic so bear with me

#

oh it would be hard to do the spacebar

stray tiger
#

And the backspace

exotic plaza
#

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i don't know how that would work out

stray tiger
#

The stabilizer screw-in points are pretty universal

exotic plaza
#

yep i see that

#

i wonder if you could mod it to make it work

#

maybe cut the gummy o ring in certain places

#

definitely not an elegant solution but i think it should work

crimson sky
#

either screws on the side of the ring

#

or the wire on the side of the ring

stray tiger
#

No, but you could always replace the screw-in stabilizers with plate mounted ones. The PC plate supports both

crimson sky
#

guess which one causes mroe issues

crimson sky
#

and work just fine

#

just get cheap cherry clip ins

#

replace the wires with c3 ones if you wanna be fancy

#

~5€/USD for a set of stabs

stray tiger
#

The PCB doesnt support clip-in stabs

crimson sky
#

it supports screw in stabs

#

which uses the same holes

stray tiger
#

I do think swapping stabs is the better choice, Modding the o-ring is a bad idea

crimson sky
#

agreed

exotic plaza
#

turns out i accidentally ordered a set of tx clip in stabs so if i end up getting the module that works

crimson sky
#

yes

#

as long as you got the right wire length

#

is yours a WK or WKL one

#

aka is the spacebar stabilizer 7u or 6.25u

#

wooting needs WK/6.25u

exotic plaza
#

it comes with a wire for both

crimson sky
#

huh

#

that is new

exotic plaza
#

they just send both wires

crimson sky
#

yea it is common with other ones

#

tx ones used to just come with one

stray tiger
crimson sky
#

not really an issue tbh

#

makes them sit tighter

#

which is the bigger problem if anything

#

but you can do that on any clip in stabilizer

stray tiger
#

Ive had a few of my clip-in stabs pull free over the years. On a solder boards its a huge pain in the ass.

exotic plaza
#

idk about all of that i just ordered a set in addition to my plate mount ones in case i got the modules in the future

crimson sky
#

I think I had more issues with wires popping out

#

specifically with durock v1s

#

and gon stabs

stray tiger
crimson sky
#

which is a much bigger pain to fix

stray tiger
#

I think I have like 5 packs of the v1's sitting here that I dont use for that reason lol

crimson sky
#

oh I had the whole stabilizer coming out on one board

#

where I had to add material to the stabilizer stem to make caps sit better

#

which made them sit super tight

#

was easy to reinsert since it was plateless

fluid ravine
#

it is bakeneko + unikorn cutouts?

has anyone tried the 70a gummy o ring from bakeneko?

stray tiger

That what makes the Merro PCB so great. It supports cases that werent made for it as well.

exotic plaza
crimson sky
#

unless you go for 30A

stray tiger
exotic plaza
#

alright ill just go with the 30a

stray tiger
#

I use these a lot and you have more hardness levels to choose from

exotic plaza
#

really wish that they were white

#

or black

#

i fear that the colors might be a bit visible and my keyboard is all white

stray tiger
fluid ravine
#

Yeah it's not visable

exotic plaza
#

with my current keycaps the bottom of them is ever so slightly above the edge of the case

#

im trying to fix that issue but im pretty sure it might make it visible

#

idk im not at my main setup right now

fluid ravine
#

Prob 30 or 50

#

Yeah 30 or 50

#

Don't think any of us tried anything above 50

stray tiger
#

I've tried the 65a and they work but I currently use 30-50 for most stuff

exotic plaza
#

alright i ordered a 30a bakeneko and a 55a graveshift

stray tiger
#

The harder the o-ring, the smaller the diameter. 30a is softer but larger (harder to get in and out of the case).

#

Not that Im aware of

exotic plaza
cyan adder

cyan adder
#

Hm so what’s the point having diff size then

#

70 should flex more than 30a when typing ?

exotic plaza
#

70 is harder

fluid ravine
#

ok im home now

fluid ravine
#

70 is harder

cyan adder
#

It’s not logical

exotic plaza
#

?

cyan adder
#

If it’s easier to pull in and out with 70a

#

It means it would bounce more than a 30a that is harder to pull out - in

fluid ravine
cyan adder
#

What am I understanding wrong here

exotic plaza
#

I would imagine the reason for that is that with a softer rubber it will squish against the case more

#

Getting more friction

#

In addition to supposedly being thicker

#

Like how your shoes will grip the ground better if made out of soft rubber

#

Than hard marble

stray tiger
#

the "a" is the softness. In a traditional gummy o-ring mount the board would bounce because the o-rings would sit direclty on the ledges on the edge of the case. You would want a harder stiffness if you want the board to bounce less. In our case, we are doing more of a friction fit where the o-ring is being compressed slightly to fit into the case. This reduces bounce already but a softer o-ring will still bounce a bit more than a harder one. However because softer o-rings are thicker, they are harder to squeeze into the case and harder to pull out.

fluid ravine
# cyan adder It means it would bounce more than a 30a that is harder to pull out - in

ok think about it like this
the smaller number of the #a is a softer oring
gummy oring mount boards have like half circle posts around the case where the orings sit
gummy oring is suppose to give a bouncy feel
now if you think about it, the softer the oring the bouncier but the harder the less bouncy
so 30a is soft, 50a is medium (between), and 70a is hard.

stray tiger
#

Yeah what we all said

exotic plaza
#

Wait should the “a” be the softness

#

Shouldnt*

stray tiger
#

I mean its the hardness

#

but same difference in this case

exotic plaza
#

Sorry I meant hardness

cyan adder
#

So 30a is best bounce + so thick that it’s hard to pull it out of the case

#

In contrary, 70a is hard and 0 bounce but very thin so it’s easier to pull it out

stray tiger
#

Less bounce, not 0 bounce but yes

cyan adder
#

I still don’t know what to take xD. I’ll probably stick with buying 30a and 50a and try them both

fluid ravine
#

Since the harder orings are well, hard
they compress so its much easier to pull out as it wraps around the module more tighter

cyan adder
#

Exactly

#

Then the softer will most likely no be tight around the pcb so leave more « air/space » for the pcb to bounce / move / breathe

stray tiger
#

35a vs 50a vs 65a

fluid ravine
#

pink 35a
