[lucid owl]

I can appreciate ISO at times

here in NL we mostly use Ansi tho

Dutch layout is a thing but it is hardly ever used

[fossil condor]

2 Years on ANSI and I still often hit the key above enter haha

[lucid owl]

I have the same issue with small left shit on ISO

[exotic plaza]

damn that sounds like a very unforunate typing experience

[lucid owl]

Don't even use left shift that much tbh

Besides gaming

I am caps lock enjoyer

[lucid owl]

👀

whoops

[exotic plaza]

lol

[lucid owl]

Best layout functionality wise tho

[exotic plaza]

what keyboard is this?

[quiet bay]

those are some cool novelties

[exotic plaza]

you have a wooting cable plugged into it

[lucid owl]

Yeah I love me my wooting cable

It's sturdy and the precise length from PC to keyboard

Keyboard is called Cypher

[exotic plaza]

damn it is expensive

[lucid owl]

I mean sort of yeah

I have some more expensive boards in the collection

It's all about perspective and how deep you're in the hobby

[stray tiger]

I sold off all my boards that weren't 65% except for one. I do miss having a 75-80%board from time to time. If I played more mmo's I would get a larger board for sure.

[gaunt nest]

Tkl is the prettiest layout !

[quiet bay]

I think exploded 75% is the prettiest

something like the zoom75

[lucid owl]

You like dis?

[stray tiger]

I'm a 60% fan and order the look of that layout but there is a time when a larger layout makes sense

[lucid owl]

65% is the most comfortable layout for every day use imo

[quiet bay]

ye pretty much like that

[lucid owl]

But anything 60% or above is very much usable to me

[quiet bay]

75% keyboards just have the nicest cases

[stray tiger]

There is no real standard for 75% though

[lucid owl]

I only own my Bubble shown above and in the process of building a Box75

[quiet bay]

ik I just find that most pretty keyboards I see are 75% layouts or 65% keyboards

[lucid owl]

Good 75% are either hard to find or very expensive

65% pretty much dominate the market

[exotic plaza]

I just want dedicated function keys 😢

[crimson shoal]

Just confirming, the HE module isn't available for sale just yet, right?

[stray tiger]

Correct. About 2 more weeks

[crimson shoal]

Thank you, and will the lekker switches be in stock around then too?

[stray tiger]

I believe @bronze grove said they will be on stock in the next week or so.

[harsh cradle]

has anyone tried to lube the lekker switches with triboysis 3204

i only have that type of lube so i'm wondering if its worth lubing it since the lube is so thin

[lucid owl]

3204 works perfectly fine for linears

Besides 205g0 I would use 3204 over anything else

[harsh cradle]

okok tysm

[still quest]

has anyone tried gummy o ring with tofu redux?

[fluid ravine]

gummy o'ring in other cases
does the same thing

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[still quest]

i tried it rn and it was a really tight fit. i stopped it because pcb wouldn't go down into the case

[fluid ravine]

first time?

[still quest]

yeah

[fluid ravine]

yeah its suppose to be like thatg

[stray tiger]

If you get too thick of an o-ring or the wrong size, thats a possibility

[fluid ravine]

over time the pcb foam needs to be compress

[stray tiger]

I cant lie, I'd buy this

[fluid ravine]

😂

[fluid ravine]

just have the oring in for a little bit or a while

then try again

[still quest]

ok ok

[tiny summit]

just finished lubing my keyboard i didnt do it until now cause i was worried about performance but tbh it just feels smoother lubed even if its heavier and stuff

[grizzled path]

the heavier feeling will even out with time, but yeah for sure it's better lubed for me

[fluid ravine]

my lube is breaking in!!

raaaaaaaaaa

[loud zephyr]

peanut butter so much better, I can smell the nutty flavor

[polar girder]

Silicone plate pad, poron plate foam or none? You tried? @fluid ravine

From Wooting video the silicone pad or nothing sounds best

[stray tiger]

He didnt do silicone pad because he couldnt gummy mount. No pad might be worth a shot though

[crimson shoal]

What's a good size? I found one off thockpop
Hardness: 30a
Outer Diameter: 190mm
Inner Diameter: 183mm
Cross-Section: 3.5mm

[stray tiger]

Check the faq #🪛│modding_faq message

[weary tree]

Works on my tofu. The fit is quite tight

[hollow sand]

What is the best case for 60 he?

[fluid ravine]

i did no pad before

no chance im going to find the video tho haha

[stray tiger]

Alumaze60

[fluid ravine]

uh here

[tardy sail]

I bought a wooting keyboard a week ago, how long will it take to arrive in Mexico City?

[fluid ravine]

i will do silicone tray mount for yall once i finish eating

and no pad

i got ya

[stray tiger]

Wrong channel

[tardy sail]

🥹

[ivory cosmos]

bought the 60he and wondering if there's anywhere I can buy lighter springs for my keeb???

[stray tiger]

Not currently

[polar girder]

The L45’s should be back in stock soon if you’re down to swap the entire switch

[gaunt linden]

Has anyone tried keebmats switch films ?

The silicone ones

[fluid ravine]

While im eating, list some confirgurations you want me to do a sound test of
(Cant do burger mount since my standoffs are damaged)

[gaunt linden]

Please

[fluid ravine]

alrighty bois and gorls
be prepared to be sent full of videos in this chat

wait should i make a new thread

[crimson shoal]

What's the brand gummy mount o ring you use

What do people like for shape? I like typing fast but also like something easy to navigate blindly.

[fluid ravine]

bakeneko 60 30a

Alr getting things ready

alrighty lets get started

ok ima make a new thread (Phone recordings only?)

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1166204178759176283

new log for the configurations here yall go

just posted one

[gaunt linden]

?

[fluid ravine]

send me link to them
iw ill try to answer later

[gaunt linden]

https://keebmat.com/products/thockfilm

[gaunt linden]

Thank you!

[gaunt linden]

@fluid ravine

[cunning cove]

Can’t decide on the concrete or black alumaze60 😭

[gaunt linden]

Go for concrete it looks dope

[fluid ravine]

concrete for sure

[cunning cove]

Yeah I just need to see some builds with it and I’ll prob be sold

[fluid ravine]

hmm this looks new to me
never seen this before....

it might work im not sure

ohw ait its too thick nvm

.2 and .3 is a nono

nor is the material im pretty sure

[spice herald]

I’ll post my black alumaze build as soon as I get it delivered and modded

I don’t like light colored keyboards anymore so I had to go for the black

[cunning cove]

Is it bc hard to keep prints off them?

[gaunt linden]

Do you recommend the Deskey ones instead?

[spice herald]

should be easier to keep prints off the lighter one honestly - I’ve just always liked darker peripherals. I had a light colored custom that I used to use but I sold it because I fell out of love with the lighter colored one

[gaunt linden]

Also they make poron ones too i think or PE cant remember

[fluid ravine]

poron

i honeslty dont really recommend filming the lekker switches
films can be warped since the lekker switches have bigger molds than a normal switch
plus the only thing it will do is just making the housing tighter and make the switch higher pitched (if using polycarbonate)
I think 3d printed will give a deeper sound but idk

not an expert on films haha

[quiet bay]

poron could make the switches deeper 🤔

but it's pretty thick

[stray tiger]

I dont think any films are going to give a deeper sound honestly.

[fluid ravine]

Alr going to install the silicone now

Eee

2 more configuration then im done for the night

wow silicone very poppy, a little bit muted

well idk about little but

very interesting
i like it

[gaunt linden]

What do you think about switch pads?

[dapper kernel]

Gummy mount works with silicone now?

[fluid ravine]

no

doing tray mount

[dapper kernel]

[fluid ravine]

#1166204178759176283 message

i kinda wish tho

[dapper kernel]

I ordered some pre-tuned stab hopefully no more rattling 💀

I want silicone but i really dont wanna deal with tray mount

[fluid ravine]

tray mount mann

dead sounds

[fluid ravine]

rip

[dapper kernel]

Yeah and im considering removing tempest mod

[fluid ravine]

bout to do silicone pcb foam + tray mount + polyfill

[fluid ravine]

i only have 1 layer

no layers for me is very quiet

[dapper kernel]

Polyfill without case foam?

[fluid ravine]

what?

😂 polyfill is a type of case foam mod haha

[dapper kernel]

yeah but did no1 ever try mixing them

[fluid ravine]

im not taking chances haha

or maybe...

ok @polar girder gonna do no foam at all

no case foam and no pcb foam

be prepared for your ears
as they might bleed

[dapper kernel]

Wont it just sound noisy

[fluid ravine]

hollow

case hollow

module would sound ok

¯_(ツ)_/¯

fucccckkkkk

i need to do 2 more recordings actually

[dapper kernel]

I watched wootings video, no pcb foam aint for me

But silicone is

[fluid ravine]

no case foam+pcb foam gummy oring/tray mount

mann

[dapper kernel]

[fluid ravine]

No fucccc

My mom is cooking

[dapper kernel]

Im thinking stock case foam + silicone + gummy mount and remove tempest

Imma just force the gummy mount 💀

[fluid ravine]

It won't even stay still when you try to install lmao

[dapper kernel]

Whats the o ring that you’re using

[fluid ravine]

Bakeneko 60 30a

Ok last 2
And p7t everything back

That's like what 15 mins?

[dapper kernel]

I cant find the dimensions on it 💀

[fluid ravine]

Wait hold up
This ain't even that bad

[dapper kernel]

[fluid ravine]

alright everyone

im done for the night

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1166204178759176283 here you go again for ones who missed it

my main config will be the first one and yeah let me know your thoughts and any config i could try

[polar girder]

You beast.

[fluid ravine]

what i learn:
Appreciating my build and what i have as i progress really far from what i had back then

[polar girder]

Thanks bro

[fluid ravine]

np dawg

for the community :)

[polar girder]

Now I go and listen to them all before bed time. 😴

[fluid ravine]

haha ❤️

[still quest]

yeah i imagined lol. maybe when i get my 45's i'll try again

[fluid ravine]

@polar girder #1166204178759176283 message sorry to ping you now mate but just wanted to say the flex comes from the plate but the gummy oring gives the bounce

[fluid ravine]

143 too

[dapper kernel]

change plates and my stabs wont work

time to wait for my tuned stab to be delivered 💀

[sleek wagon]

My Pom plate gets here the day I leave for Disneyland

KILL ME

[obsidian dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/mokey-with-gun-gif-18447041

[hard cargo]

hey does anyone have a cablemod modmetal cable? just saw it on their website but its impossible to find good pictures or a video of it to see how it really looks.

[loud zephyr]

Here's a one from their Instagram, it looks super

[dapper hazel]

that reminds me of those things you run cables through the wall with haha

[obsidian dagger]

aviator connectors are so dummy thicc

[loud zephyr]

yeah at least they offer lemo or slimline

[hard cargo]

ye saw that one pic too but would love to see the other colours. also wondering if flexibility might be a problem.

[loud zephyr]

should be fine even if you're tilting your keyboard at 180deg for gaming

[dapper hazel]

those are just the second largest car plugs, they’re like 70 cents a set

you want lemo or knockoff lemos

*xlr plugs

nah not xlr, what was the name…

GX16 or GX12 is what they use

I like those super tiny 00b size lemos

0b you can use with normal cables and they’re sleek af

https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EHMaLif there ya go… pretty expensive but for a single set order it’s not bad i guess

[dapper kernel]

Pc plate is cream

[fluid ravine]

@polar girder when I get home I will do like 2 sets of recordings
1.silicone/poron pcb foam+gummy mount/tray mount+no case foam
2.no PCB foam+gummy mount/tray mount+poly fill/wooting foam

[polar girder]

I still don’t see silicone pad/gunmy/poly

That and no PCB foam, gummy, poly seem most interesting to me

I really like muted sound of gummy mount

[idle warren]

Polycarb keycaps seem to be the most silent when compared to PBT Cherry, PBT ASA and GMK cherry. Anyone else have similair results?

[stray tiger]

My experience is typically that the thicket the keycap the more muted it is rather than the type of plastic used. While there are sound differences between ABS and PBT plastics, it's less of a factor then keycap thickness or profile

[idle warren]

The pc caps were the clear 2048. While I haven't measured them. The ASA keycaps seem thicker but also significantly louder

[crisp arrow]

anyone change out their stabs for Tx clip ins? is it worth it?

[crimson sky]

Those only work with the module version

[crisp arrow]

gotcha! cherry clip ins work?

[polar girder]

What?

60HE is clip in. Module is planned to be screw in

[crimson sky]

No

You need plate mounted stabs

Clip ins are also pcb mounted

[crisp arrow]

ohhh true!

ty ty! @crimson sky

[crimson sky]

there are plate monted tx stabs

just fyi

not necessary tho

[crisp arrow]

I found some! was just curious if anyone tried them over stock. the wooting ones sound fine to me after lubing and tuning

[cunning cove]

Anyone have alumaze60 pics? I saw one of the concrete earlier but need moar!

[polar girder]

Well there’s plate or PCB clip ins

Plate mount are always clip ins

As I understand it

Concrete so sexy

[crimson sky]

plate mounted stabs are not called clip ins

[polar girder]

They don’t clip in?

[crimson sky]

they are still not called clip ins

[sleek wagon]

Clip in is pcb mount

[sleek wagon]

Plate mount is plate mount lol

[fluid ravine]

I just read the conversation and I got lost half way

[polar girder]

lol ok mb mb

[fluid ravine]

Plate mount:stabilizers clipping on to the plate
Screw in: stabilizers screwed into the pcb with washers and screw
Clip in:like screw in but clips into the pcb without using screws and washers

[onyx pier]

Isit just me but why is my pc plate like bended when i screw in everything

Is like a rainbow shape at the top part for the numbers

[bronze grove]

Did you use the foam or the silicone?

A photo would help.

[onyx pier]

Foam

The middle area is up more

[minor anvil]

yo

did anybody else have a hard time taking out the switches in the wooting uwu lmao

[bronze grove]

With a switch puller? No took me about 5 seconds each.

[untold wigeon]

If you take the keyboard apart it’s way easier

[minor anvil]

like i was yanking felt like that shit was gonna break lol

[bronze grove]

Gotta wiggle a bit north and south.

[bronze grove]

Can't say I agree with that on the UwU

[untold wigeon]

Ahhh I don’t have the uwu lol

[bronze grove]

Then why on earth would you comment on an UwU situation.

[untold wigeon]

oh I just saw they mentioned uwu

LOL

[shy lagoon]

With the module the difference between stabs is just acoustics right?

[untold wigeon]

mb

[bronze grove]

Debatable.

Enthusiasts tend to favour PCB stabs.

[untold wigeon]

Are you getting the module?

[bronze grove]

Sure.

I kind of need to it provide customer support to all Y'all.

[untold wigeon]

Want to know what stabs people would get besides Durocks

[spice herald]

I’ve had everglide panda stabs in the past and they were extremely nice

Those are screw in only though I believe

[shy lagoon]

Fair, thanks

[fluid ravine]

Prob you screw in the tray mount to tight on both sides

[onyx pier]

will try it tomorow when i wake up

also if i do hole mod will it make it feel like it is not smooth cause i havent lube it yet only done hole mod will lube it tmr when i wake up

[stray tiger]

Is it lunch time yet?

[minor anvil]

yo mansen \

u know those postcards?

have u gotten any weird requests from them

[bronze grove]

No comments.

[minor anvil]

baha

[fluid ravine]

?

I don't even know
I never tried screw in stabs b4

I wish

[stray tiger]

Ive owned stabs from most major brands and the truth is with proper lubing and tuning almost all stabs can be made to sound good.

[fluid ravine]

Doing algebruh homework rn

[stray tiger]

I posted a video in here yesterday of like 7 or 8 different keyboard stabilizers

The ones that come with it. If they are as solid as the ones on the OG 60HE then they are sufficient

I have no reason to steer you wrong. Im all for trying to save people time and money.

[proven tendon]

Does anyone know how thick the pcb is? 1.2 or 1.6

I wanted to buy some tx stabs. I would assume it's the same for the module

[crimson sky]

1.6mm

[proven tendon]

Ty

[proud hound]

Anyone tried both silicon and poron form?

[bronze grove]

That would break the PC Plate.

[polar girder]

Yeah “both” is almost never the answer

[proud hound]

I mean

One by one

Side by side

[stray tiger]

Quite a few people and wooting released a video yesterday with their testing of both choices as well.

[proud hound]

I only found one video only tested sillicon

Hmm maybe I just need to try both....

[stray tiger]

Or try none!

[proud hound]

Fr

[stray tiger]

Im currently using none right now and it's not too bad

[proud hound]

But I kinda have to try one at this point

[stray tiger]

Assemble it without foam inbetween, record sound test and then remove plate and add in foam, and record, then remove plate and swap in silicone, etc etc

[proud hound]

Too.much works

'_'

[stray tiger]

fair enough. In that case, go with foam

[fluid ravine]

Oh f I didn't reoly

[fluid ravine]

Just read this
Can't do silicone and gummy together

[fluid ravine]

I already did it

[fluid ravine]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1166204178759176283

Idk which one you looking for but here just take a look for yourself

[proven tendon]

Ok I bought tx stabs. Now I just have to wait 20 years for the module to release

[polar girder]

Ahh mb

[crimson lion]

recommended mods to do to the wooting 60he ?

[gaunt linden]

Where’s that video?

[stray tiger]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[proud hound]

Thx for data

I do tape fiction mount

[gaunt linden]

Thank you

[untold wigeon]

Black FR4 plate needed

[gaunt linden]

Whens the new 60he module releasing aprox?

[crimson shoal]

Wdym new 60he? The module?

[polar girder]

If so, probably some time next month

It got delayed to catch up on customer service tickets

Maybe in the next two weeks if we’re lucky tho

[stray tiger]

Yes the latest estimate roughly 2 weeks from now!

[loud zephyr]

Aluminum case and PC plate
Re-lube the switches and re-lube/retune the stabilizers
Decide how much or what type of foam you want. Tape also, too
GMK keycaps, sure why not?

Welcome to the dark side

[gaunt linden]

Aaaaaah yeaaaaaaa!

[gaunt linden]

So this pc plate that just came out, Its for the new module right? But also works with the current one too?

[gaunt linden]

The pcb think

Thing

[stray tiger]

Yes

[gaunt linden]

I Just realized i didnt write module there lol sorry yall

[crimson shoal]

Any info about the gummy mount, poron foam and poly fill mods you did in one of your vids?

I like the muted thocky sound

Planning on adding the holee mod and tempest mod and not sure what else

[stray tiger]

What are you hoping to accomplish with those 2 mods?

[fluid ravine]

What kind of info are you looking for

[crimson shoal]

Deep thock/muted sound profile, I appreciate any input

[crimson shoal]

Advice/whether you stuck with that setup, anything to be aware of.

[stray tiger]

Read here as neither of those mods will help you accomplish that. https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399

[proud hound]

i was looking how to do switch tape mod

any place i may look up for?

[crimson shoal]

Oh I appreciate that, I was following someone else's mods assuming the soft sound was because of those. I'll watch that linked video shortly, but are there certain mods you do recommend after making several different kbds yourself?

[proud hound]

ok i found

[stray tiger]

I'm a modding minimalist. I believe a proper lube job will address 90% of most stabilizer issues for example. Outside of lubing I don't recommend anything specific other than experimenting with different materials. If you want a deep sounding keyboard there are specific things you can do that help increase lower frequencies (larger volume keycaps for example) and things to reduce high frequencies (try thinner dampening materials like polyfill). There is a definite science to it and it's easy to get caught up in the hype videos, influencers and snake oil. Start slow, lube first then do one mod at a time. Check the stabilizer tuning video in the FAQ and if you want to know more about the science of the sound check out keybored's videos on YouTube.

[void python]

Lubing my switches for the first time ever and yeesh. Tedious but worth the effort so far.

Installing the PC plate and figured it was the best time to do them

[fluid ravine]

I'M HOME FINALLY

😭😭

I will be answering questions in a few mins

[stray tiger]

First question. If you're in a car traveling at the speed of light and you turn on your headlights. Do they do anything?

[void python]

Probably nothing to keep you from exploding

Then again, are they pop-up lights?

[fluid ravine]

No

[cold bloom]

Finally put my pc plate in, I have the L45 switches lubed, used the silicone switch pad, and have the stupidfish case foam in my original tofu60. I also burger mounted the pcb like in the badseedtech video. Pretty happy with the results so far.

[fluid ravine]

Light would like just leave

I think

[solid finch]

any1 knows if pcb+switches combo is comming? saw a thread on reddit where two people said different things

[cold bloom]

I saw a YouTube comment that the 60he module is “coming” but nothing otherwise

[atomic plaza]

It's coming soon

[fluid ravine]

60he v2 module is coming out soon
PC plate
Wooting v2 pcb
Screw in stabs
Silicone and poron foam

[solid finch]

ohhh thx god

I was going to buy it

[stray tiger]

Last estimate that I'm aware of is a Nov 8th date for the module.

[solid finch]

but I have to wait then

ohh nice I thought it would be next year

[cold bloom]

I’m so torn about the module, I really want the pcb mounted stabs but I already have so much into this one lol

[fluid ravine]

Wdym

Nvm I get it now

[cold bloom]

Like I don’t wanna buy the module just for the pcb mounted stabs but I might lol

[stray tiger]

If you're happy with current stabs the screw-in ones won't make a difference to you. Save your money and enjoy your current board. Screw-in stabs aren't inherently better they are just inherently more secure.

[cold bloom]

If I can sell my stock one in the original case maybe I’ll consider it

[solid finch]

with some work, you won't notice much diffference

[cold bloom]

Good point

Thanks for making me feel better lol

[solid finch]

you can tune them gud enough where you'll be happy and forget about the v2 pcb

[cold bloom]

Yeah I have enough dielectric grease on them now I’m pretty happy with them just gotta keep them lubed every so often

[solid finch]

forget about the new pcb then

[stray tiger]

In the super rare case that your stab housing get loose where they clip into the plate, you can put a small piece of tape on the edge of the opening and they will be super tight again.

[cold bloom]

solid tip

[fluid ravine]

do mods one at a time
keep what you like
try to experiment more (dont do risky stuff like drilling holes in your pcb)

[stray tiger]

Keep track of your screws 😁

[fluid ravine]

yeah that too

😂

[proud hound]

Do u recommend paper or cloth for medical tape used in switch tape mod?

[quiet bay]

yes

[proud hound]

So either works fine?

[quiet bay]

Paper tape

[rain leaf]

what keycaps would you choose and why?

Drop GMK wob abs https://drop.com/buy/gmk-white-on-black-custom-keycap-set

Or PBTfans wob pbt https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-doubleshot-wob

[spice herald]

pbtfans

[verbal folio]

when i see this channel i feel like an npc because i prefer keeping my keyboards stock

[spice herald]

pbt doesn’t shine after prolonged use - unless you like the shine then it’s up to you but I use my keyboard everyday. My GMK started shining for me after less than two months of solid use.

[verbal folio]

the only mod i’ll probably consider is switching to the alumaze60

[proud hound]

OK thx

[stray tiger]

Nothing wrong with that at all. If you like it you like it. I see a lot of people come in here trying to solve a problem that doesnt exist or fix something that isnt broken only to hate the result and have wasted a lot of time and energy.

[verbal folio]

by the way do you know if the alumaze60 comes with foam inside of it or do you just reuse the one you have in the old case

[stray tiger]

It will include foam

[verbal folio]

hmm i’ll see once i get my keyboard (its in transit) but i’ll probably stay stock for a while since i spent £190 on the keyboard itself

[fluid ravine]

paper

[grizzled path]

toilet paper? dissertation paper on criminal law in india? rag paper?

[fluid ravine]

gentle paper tape/medical tape

[proud hound]

thxthx

[proud hound]

thxthx

[verbal folio]

I have just realized something

everyone is going for a „thock” sound on their keyboards

what if i go for the opposite

something new lol

full clacky wooting

[dapper kernel]

There is clack build but it’s not popular

[loud zephyr]

Clack all the way only because I have the HHKB if I want to thockidy thock

[dapper kernel]

The soft typing that pc plate gave coming back when all my kb uses pc plates

[proud hound]

3layer of tape is to thick and 1layer dose notting hmm...

[loud zephyr]

I just want my 60HE to be this obnoxious

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

[quiet bay]

oh man I do not like clack

I like creamy or thock

[dapper kernel]

[proud hound]

i have clacky keyboard

i like it but i like both clack and thock

[loud zephyr]

Yeah, I like thock but I ain't putting all that effort into the 60HE. The less work I have to do the better imo

[proud hound]

i already have filmed my switch and tring to tape mod switch

it is painful

honestly i might just give up onthis..

[dapper kernel]

I will never give up pc plate

Feels so good to type on

Tbh i wont flim my lekkers, the housing is tight enough

[loud zephyr]

I kinda miss the stock case, might go back to that for a while once the PC plate comes. The design is actully A-tier

[dapper kernel]

I was surprised how light the stock was tbh

[quiet bay]

Yes

[loud zephyr]

Wait for Geon's F2-60 60% at 3kg unbuilt. Correction: 2kg. Still fairly heavy

[quiet bay]

I was excited to have my first keyboard with actual switches instead of a rubberdome lol

[proud hound]

dose wooting okay to northface with cherry profile keycap? i tried with normal mech key i feel its not working but i see it works with lekkers

[dapper kernel]

Mine came yesterday and i somehow fked my stabs so i had to go back to stock stab

[quiet bay]

It should be fine

im using cherry profile keycaps rn

[cyan adder]

where did u get this?

[proud hound]

yeah but other mech key hits top shell

lol

maybe diffrent shape

[dapper kernel]

My local store, they do it for like 3$ per stab

[dapper kernel]

North/south facing are just for the rgb lights

Doesnt affect the switch at all

[loud zephyr]

Why not just tune yourself? Ezy pezy

[dapper kernel]

I did and mines all sorts of fked rn

[loud zephyr]

oof

[dapper kernel]

And i cant be bothered anymore

[cyan adder]

wtf in which country do you live

[proud hound]

yeah but it hits keycap on normal mechkey

due to shape

[dapper kernel]

Singapore

[cyan adder]

nice

[dapper kernel]

But north or south facing the switch doesnt change the switch itself no?

Like the shape is the same

[proud hound]

none light side is thicker

usally

[proud hound]

and it hits keycap

its fine if u put keycap upside down but...

[dapper kernel]

but i have my switches south facing because i dont want any rgb

North/south facing works the same on wootings so u good there

[proud hound]

It's fine on wooting and I was wonder why

That's all

It kinda dose matter for normal mechanics key switch

[dapper kernel]

Oh yeah it depends on the switches for sure

[quiet bay]

Man I wish I had a local keyboard store 😔

[fluid ravine]

My PC made from wooting now 😛

[void hollow]

rip

stuff from mash are like so damn expensive

i tried looking at stuffs from xtreme solutions but they mostly sell prebuilts and some caps

[proud hound]

W

Masking tape in out side is ducktape rolled to not show sticky side

[void hollow]

anyone got any suggestions on what type of painters tape to use

[proud hound]

I slide in that thing and it is friction mount like gummy oring mod

[void hollow]

best in slot painter's tape? 😭

[proud hound]

Anypainters tape would be fine

Also anytape is fine along as first layer is painters tape

[void hollow]

im also looking for like the orings

4x1x1.5 is okay?

[dapper kernel]

ilumbkb, pantheonkeys, landingpad. Mash is only has basic entry items.

[proud hound]

I personally use ducktape on masking tape and do friction mount (works same.as o ring)

[void hollow]

any good deskpad/mousepad sources from sg?

[dapper kernel]

ilumbkb sells the deskpad that normally comes with the gmk keycaps

[dapper kernel]

I removed my tempest mod

I want more thock im too lazy to do switch mods 💀

[proud hound]

Tape mount

[dapper kernel]

Yeah i removed mine because I wanted it to be softer

But silicone pad doesnt work with gummy mount 💀 maybe it will work if its a 2mm thickness o ring

[void hollow]

but for burger mounting 1.5mm is okay right

[fluid ravine]

bounce/flex test

do a spam sets of keys on each row seperating left and right side (To see if they're is any dead spots like tray mount)

[dapper kernel]

Mod faq say 1x4mm but slightly thicker should works too

[void hollow]

i see

[dapper kernel]

Just need a longer screw so it’s easier to do

[dapper kernel]

I tried silicone and i failed

Almost got it in tho

[fluid ravine]

lol

[fluid ravine]

ntnt

[dapper kernel]

I think a 2mm thickness will work

[quiet bay]

Cerakeys :oo

Very pretty

[fluid ravine]

cooking in algebruh yuhhh
finna be done for the whole year heh

[fluid ravine]

pretty indeed

[fluid ravine]

what plate?

im guessing stock plate?

not noticing any flex from the plate so im guessing the bounce is coming from your tape mount

[proud hound]

it is pc plate but i did notice bit of bounce in steelplate too

[fluid ravine]

so ig its the tape mount is making it bounce

[proud hound]

yeah I saw on youtube but dont remember who was it

i kinda use this always over oring

cuz i always have ducttape...

[loud zephyr]

creamy like ice cream

[onyx pier]

just get the 3m tape the blue one

i live in sg too

[void hollow]

nice

[onyx pier]

you can also look for items that you need from taobao will be alot cheaper

[void hollow]

lmao idk whr to buy the orings

[onyx pier]

Maybe shopee?

Our Alumaze and the Tofu Redux are the most popular choices these days.

[glass viper]

thank you

[glass viper]

Is Tofu Redux made of aluminum?

[normal schooner]

this wooting sir

[bronze grove]

I think so? Aside from the brass plate. You'd have to go check on KBDFans' own website.

[crimson sky]

yes it is aluminum

[glass viper]

I'm Korean, so how should I order?

While I appreciate this could be considered HOT or LEWD, I will not be moderating it.

[loud zephyr]

I use 4.5mm OD 1.5mm ID 1.5mm Width

[onyx pier]

Have to be 4.5 or

[cyan adder]

i think my lube just broke in; i went from thocky to creamy

[loud zephyr]

I'm not sure and I haven't seen any build guide using 4mm

[onyx pier]

#🪛│modding_faq message

Trying to find 4.5 mm ones but all i see is 4

[loud zephyr]

Then go for 4mm

[onyx pier]

For the screws do i need specific head types or

Any will do

[crimson crown]

im curious what exactly is a burger mount

[onyx pier]

There is a video wooting made about it

You can read the modding faq also

[crimson crown]

i still dont have my wooting sadly but ill probably go watch it

gotta wait till late november

[onyx pier]

It is worth the wait

[crimson crown]

im gonna get the keycaps im swapping in place of the stock ones much sooner though, might show em off when they come in

just a set i liked off of amazon

[loud zephyr]

M2x6mm Cap head

[crimson crown]

i know it is but im impatient lol
itll get here when it gets here though

[ruby tangle]

idk if this is the right channel to ask but does anyone know how easy it is to swap the l45 switches into the 2HE? just switching a few but i'm not too sure how safe it is :/

[glass scarab]

Do i have to remove stock lube before hand lubing switches?

[loud zephyr]

It's easy and safe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KtpE1mv23s

[crimson crown]

also how does swapping the plastic case on the 60he for a metal one alter the sound im curious

if i consider doing it later down the road

[ruby tangle]

thanks :)

if anyone got any good alternative suggestions for switch pullers i'd be quite open to advice too lol

all local places are out of stock afaik

[spiral canyon]

You can quite easily wedge them off with flat screwdriver too

[loud zephyr]

If you don't like the metallic resonance of the stock plate, then yeah go for PC plate. Typing feel should be a little bit softer, especially if you remove the pcb foam

[ruby tangle]

tysm ill just try to be careful i guess :)

[crimson crown]

well i dont quite mean the plate i mean the case the keyboard rests in

or are those the same thing

[loud zephyr]

Oh wait. Me. Brain. Dead. oops. I honestly can't remember the difference it's been so long now

[crimson crown]

regardless the 60he is probably gonna be the first keyboard i mod
even if its later down the road and i only initially run it with stock + different keycaps

[loud zephyr]

Maybe this video will help, dude compares the stock and alu

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dLzdUFzXjk

[crimson crown]

all the other keyboards ive had before are entirely solder switches and not designed to be taken apart
because ive been buying crummy "gaming" keyboards all my life till now

[loud zephyr]

Above all else it's a gaming keyboard to be enjoyed; modding can always wait

[white viper]

its alright

i promise it sounds better in person

[crimson crown]

yeah definitely i did get some nice looking keycaps for it though to replace the stock ones with

those will arrive before the keyboard

[verbal folio]

if you do that then you might wanna order a pack of switches

to replace the broken ones

at least from my experience

might be skill issue

[spiral canyon]

I don't know how hard you'd have to flail with screwdriver to break switches, had no issue whatsoever with swapping them in my UwUs

[ruby tangle]

any tips for getting them out

do you lever them or push or what

bcuz I don’t really wanna break anything lol

[spiral canyon]

More lever than push

[loud zephyr]

Amazon an option, this is pretty cheap for what's included?

https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Cleaning-Tweezers-Keyboards/dp/B0BZ4BR6TC/ref=sr_1_61?crid=190JZ4VCNMONU&keywords=keycap+switch+puller&qid=1698227761&sprefix=keycap+switch+pull%2Caps%2C268&sr=8-61

[ruby tangle]

cool ty might order that but I’m trading someone for the switches tomorrow and I have poor judgement

[cyan adder]

Expensive shipping 😭😭 but I’m done, will need you guys to help me installing it properly @stray tiger @fluid ravine - I guess I’ll probably have to put the rubber pads I got in my tofu redux case

35a 50a and 30a

After that, last mod would probably be Thock 3in1 Film/pads (potion) from keebmat, holee mod + bandaid + foam in my spacebar because it’s rattling too much

Then I’ll never touch it anymore

[dapper kernel]

i just buy random o ring from aliexpress

$10 for like 10-20 rings

[shell crown]

Like u should

It's the same product

[onyx pier]

Anyone know how long and whst is the size of the screw for wooting 60he the one that screw the plate and pcb together one

[spiral canyon]

M2x3? You can check in .stp file https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-design/tree/main/wooting-60he

[west ibex]

Spacebar makes uneven sound and I don't know the cause of it, if it's broken, or if i can do anything about it, ideas ?

right side makes a quite unpleasant high pitch clacky sound (i could fix that by just using my left thumb to type but that's uncomfortable)

[obsidian dagger]

probably the stab wire as culprit

[reef lava]

Cant wait for ppl to start getting the alumaze casess wanna hear those sound testsss as well as color combos from keycapss, painn my concrete one arrives laterrrrrr

[heady warren]

New Kailh Magnetic Switch(still in testing,unreleased)
hmmm....design quite similar to the Gateron/Lekker Magnetic Switch
structured just like the Kailh BOX series, so I bet it's pretty steady and won't shake easily.
looks like there's some extra room built in for a sound spring. Maybe it's part of a product line that gives a noticeable "bump" or "click" feel?

[crimson crown]

is the 60HE compatible with cherry profile keycaps? i could always just flip the switches around but i'm wondering if people have put them on just fine without flipping the switches
the keycaps i ordered say OEM so it's probably a nonissue regardless but there might be a chance theyre cherry profile

[bronze grove]

Yes. No need to flip switches

[west ibex]

is it possible that i somehow damaged or bent it by just removing the spacebar keycap ?

[crimson crown]

ah okay, good, north facing leds possibly had me worried but glad to know the lekker switches accomodate them in that position

[obsidian dagger]

hmm, not sure. but if pulled on unevenly? was it fine before?

[west ibex]

well when i pull out spacebar i do one side then the other one (idk how to to otherwise)

[obsidian dagger]

i dont think thats wrong per se

[west ibex]

not sure if it already did that before, i had issues with the keycap itself so i removed it multiple times before actually using the keyboard

it's not an insane issue tho, just a little annoying

[idle shadow]

OMG. Can't wait for the switch sound test.

[obsidian dagger]

I'm no expert by any strech, but checking the wire seems worth it

[west ibex]

okay thanks

[stray tiger]

Sounds like just the normal tone difference you get at times with a tray mount board. There is a screw in point near the right of the spacebar that could cause the a slight sound variation if it's too loose or tight. You can also try removing that screw completely.

[reef lava]

finallyyy alumaze sound testttt

new video has it at the end

[west ibex]

oh ok thanks for that information, i didn't think about the screws at all

[reef lava]

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

[unique temple]

i have the same issue with the w2he im pretty sure and i ordered some durock plate mounted stabs

i hope itll fix it

[west ibex]

oh ok, at least it's not just me that damaged anything

at some point i'll try to pull out the stab to check the wire and also check the screws but i'm a little scared haha

[west ibex]

i mean, if the issue comes from stabs, it should ?

[marble shuttle]

Hmm

[dapper kernel]

pc plate best change

[marble shuttle]

@mental hemlock

[sleek wagon]

My Pom plate is out for delivery a day early 😎😎

[unique temple]

update, the wires still sound unbalanced so i dont know what to do

i put durock plate mount stabs on my spacebar and it didnt really do much

[west ibex]

hmmm well i guess i'll have to get used to it

is the wire straight and not bent ?

[unique temple]

ill check for that

[west ibex]

so it kinda also eliminates the theory of the screws too tight/not tight enough, i have no idea except for the wire itself what it could be, tbh i never modded any kb so my knowledge is very limited, hence why i'm here asking for advice

[dapper kernel]

try gummy or burger mount

[verbal folio]

Can someone help me decide if I should buy the alumaze60?

Is it worth it?

[grizzled path]

might be I can say for sure next week, unless it gets delayed

[verbal folio]

I can't use the discount code somehow xD

[devout torrent]

why does yours arrive later? Is concrete shipping after the others?

[dry trench]

Yeah the concrete in a different batch

[devout torrent]

really? My order shows NA-Maze for my batch and I ordered concreete

or is it EU only that it's a diff batch

[dry trench]

Might just be eu

[devout torrent]

ty for info

[marble shuttle]

Pc plate poron foam

[lilac island]

do you feel it feels more thocky than the steel plate ?

[marble shuttle]

yes absolutely

[lilac island]

I have the same case (redux?) and i have steel plate but i feel like mine sounds more thock although maybe cos of the recording with phone ?

[marble shuttle]

it is different than steel plate for sure

could be on phone or i got brass weight too

[lilac island]

let me record mine and ill compare as im looking to get pc plate so was waiting for you guys to show some sound clips haha

[marble shuttle]

and i was using keebmat under my keyboard

[lilac island]

i got brass weight too

yeah i have redux, brass plate and keebmat the normal one in black

[marble shuttle]

can you share sound rest with steel plate

let me see iam wondering

[lilac island]

yeah ill do one now and see

[marble shuttle]

alright

[lilac island]

My stabs are not sounding good but the normal keys are fine

actually yours do sounds a little deeper i think

[marble shuttle]

all wootings are really different tbh some batches are really better if you mod them correctly

yeah mine is deeper your sound is really good too

did you use stock foam ? or tofu redux foam

[lilac island]

yeah im still workign on my stabs cant get them to sound right so may have to order differant ones

[marble shuttle]

yeah we need better stabs for sure

[lilac island]

i have the stock foam in fright now just the big piece i took the smaller strip off

[marble shuttle]

same

[lilac island]

i thinkmight go back to redux foam for a more thocky sound

[marble shuttle]

i didnt like tofu redux foam imo

iam just wondering will they add stock foam on pcb module

[lilac island]

yeah i have some packaging foam lying around that i might cut to size to try out

in your opinion does the silicone sounds more thocky

or the poron foam

[lilac island]

any chnace of a sound test?

[cunning trench]

@lilac island

[lilac island]

Awesome love the sound !!!

[reef lava]

Yea concrete is diff batch

[devout torrent]

where can I see that info? mine seems to just say NA-MAZE for my batch but I ordered concreete

[reef lava]

I mean https://wooting.io/product/alumaze60 when you select concrete here it says NA-MAZE-B2

Mine has estimated delivery nov 1st-2nd

[devout torrent]

Oh ok I thought you meant concrete had its own batch you’re just in the 2nd batch for the case

Na-maze2 is only a few days later so no big deal

My order shows oct 30 - Nov 2 so you’re isn’t much diff

[frank heron]

Is there a way to reduce the "slap", and "ping" the stock spacebar makes. I'm overall not unhappy... but that one key could use a bit of TLC. (Wooting 2HE)

[spice herald]

You could use painters tape on the inside of the spacebar to dampen it

Two layers is all you need

[frank heron]

No need to lube stabs or anything?

[spice herald]

I mean I would absolutely lube the stabs if you haven’t done that already

[frank heron]

Just got it out of the box. Figuring out what is annoying me.

[spice herald]

That’s basically a precursor to every other mod for stabs

[frank heron]

Baseline before you start is important 😉

[pallid cradle]

Keyboard came in! Fully modded the thing! Super pleased with how it turned out.

[frank heron]

Nice board. 🙂

Would swapping the caps stop the pinging, or just change the pitch?

[spice herald]

There’s a chance your spacebar could be uneven if the sound it’s making is drastic - I would check that out before doing anything else if that’s the one key bugging you. Changing the caps otherwise would just change the pitch really - the pinging is most likely coming from your stabilizers

The base is on a steel plate so you can only get it sounding so good

[frank heron]

There's also a certain level of stiffness I'd want from this board.

[quiet bay]

I might retry 3 layers of switch tape today now that Im liking my new configuration

[fluid ravine]

Good luck fam

I hope you like it if so

[sterile nest]

Thinking of modding and need your advice in astehtics,
I thought of a white n black combo.
Now either.
White cable

[fluid ravine]

Give sound test I'm not understanding

[frank heron]

Not sure I have a good enough mic to pick it up.

I'll give itg a shot.

In general chat, I'll drop my Mic neat the board.

[lucid belfry]

Just tossed some ceramic keycaps on a wooting. Next level sound.

[loud zephyr]

Niiice! With matching furniture as well

[quiet bay]

!!!

I need to get a white cable

[loud zephyr]

dat is super clean! the F & J keys though

[sterile nest]

This looks epic af, not my type of keycaps but I take this as inspiration

[quiet bay]

Shh I know but I need the bumps 😔

Unless I learn to not use the bumps 👀

[loud zephyr]

It didn't come with scooped F/J?

[quiet bay]

Wdym scooped?

[loud zephyr]

Some kits have the bump and scooped which feels slightly more concaved than the rest of the keycaps

[quiet bay]

Nope didnt find any

But it looks alot nicer without bumps :v

Ima start using this

[fluid ravine]

Really want those key caps

The more I see it the more I want ir

[quiet bay]

Im tempting you accidentally

[loud zephyr]

[sterile nest]

Well I use rubber keycaps for wasd from Tai Hao which are red but I don't think they will ruin a white and black built

[quiet bay]

ok so I have found that not having bumps is ok 👍

gained enough muscle memory to know where my fingers are

now I can keep not having bumps, making my kb look cleaner!!

[loud zephyr]

Odd choice by the designer to have the bars when there's already bumps imo. And no scooped FJ according to the interest check

[sterile nest]

Where do I look for "unique" keycaps (EU)?

[quiet bay]

ima just think of this as training for cerakeys 😤

(cerakeys dont have bumps at all)

[frank heron]

Do they have scoops?

[quiet bay]

tbh no idea if cerakeys have scoops

[loud zephyr]

Lol. I just rested my fingers on the top row, to see what it would be like without bumps. I don't think I'd ever get used to it

[quiet bay]

actually quite easy if you have muscle memory

[loud zephyr]

Not really sure what you'd consider unique but here's a list of vendors in the EU https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[quiet bay]

ima try 3 layers of switch tape now 👍

if I like it I'll relube all my switches....

[loud zephyr]

Yeah true, I just like the scooped feeling

[fluid ravine]

compare the videos with the same mounting and case foam but with different pcb foam

honestly for me its hard to tell

[quiet bay]

Left or right

Whats better

Left/3 layers switch tape

Right/2 layers switch tape

I should probably not be using 5 layer tempest mod huh lol

[fluid ravine]

huh the last time i compared it
3 layers was louder than the 2 layers but it wasnt that frigin loud

yeah im guessing the 5 layers is a bit too...

[quiet bay]

Probably cause of tempest layers

Loool

[fluid ravine]

loool

[quiet bay]

lemme try 2 layers

[fluid ravine]

only hab 1 hehe

[sleek wagon]

right way better

[quiet bay]

ok so

I put 2-3 tape layers

and

the less tape layers the more clacky it was ;-;

I think ima need to invest in some dense foam

hmm

you know what

Ima try to get moleskin tape and test it out

[fluid ravine]

Wtf

[quiet bay]

yep so now ima try to get moleskin tape some time and try it out

not liking how my wooting sounds rn >:v

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0Ev04rAiAw

[stray tiger]

That may be one of the worst videos Ive watched in a while. Not only was there very little sound difference but there wasnt a comparison of no moleskin vs moleskin so you dont know if the moleskin made it sound deeper or if the masking tape made it sound poppier (which is what usually happens)

[quiet bay]

well worth a try

it seems that moleskin does make it deeper

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4daNGthy2vk&t=255s found a video that includes no tape, painters tape, keebtape, and moleskin tape

this should be a better comparison

[stray tiger]

Way better video thanks!

[verbal folio]

I don’t really know a lot about modding keebs but the tape mod is just about sticking tape to the back of the pcb?

#🪛│modding_faq message

[crimson shoal]

What options do I have for that silent keyboard on a wooting? Is it basically just foam, polyfill, gummy mount, and bandaid mod?

[stray tiger]

Polyfill won't really help, you would be better off with something like killmat. Bandaid mod isn't needed unless you have some issue with your stabs that isn't fixed by solid lubing and tuning.

[stray tiger]

Yes

[crimson shoal]

I appreciate that, but is there something better than polyfill that isn't that expensive? Everything I've listed seems to contribute to a deep/mute sound, so I'm trying to get a refined list of things I need to buy to assemble what I'm hoping for

[fluid ravine]

@lilac island i was going to do a stabilizer lubing/modding video for you but inow i think about it
that shit is going to be hard

[lilac island]

Haha no worries thanks though! I think I just got bad stabs with my board I've tried adjusting and relubing but seems to have gotten worse since last time we spoke about them at 3am my time 😂. I have not tried dielectric grease though I've been using the white lube xht I think it's really thick that might be my problem

[fluid ravine]

going to make the video anyways

will send to your dms

yes

hmmm, whats weird about that ?

do i need to record one of them now xD

no watch pochizo's vid

it actually sounds pretty nice, i really like the stock case but i also like the weight of the redux, maybe i will get the 60he module and put it in the stock case

[lilac island]

man thats so much work !! lol

[quiet bay]

Are you talking about poron pcb foam for the plate?

[placid wagon]

It’s the 3rd and last mods on his list

[quiet bay]

If you’re talking about poron foam for the plate then no they’re not the same

[exotic plaza]

they are almost definitely not the same

in this context im like 90% sure pcb foam means plate foam

and switch pads are the foam that goes under the switches

[quiet bay]

onto the pcb

[placid wagon]

Holy moly

😭

[teal quiver]

For the poron foam layer between the PCB and plate, the one that came with my stock keyboard and the one that came with the PC plate kit are slightly different in shape; the stock keyboard one extends down onto the spacebar, and along the upper right corner of the keyboard. Anyone know why those are different? Will one not fit with the PC plate for some reason, or are there significant acoustic implications?

[placid wagon]

Thank you all for the info

[exotic plaza]

i believe that the pc plate pcb foam is made differently because its made with the module that they plan on releasing some time in mind

the pcb foam that came with the original wooting 60he should be better suited to what you have now i think

if someone else could verify if what i am saying is correct or not that would be nice

[teal quiver]

mmkay, I'll probably use that then. Will update here if it doesn't fit or smth lol

[fluid ravine]

the pcb foams that comes with the pc plate are poron and silicone

the one that comes with the stock is also poron

the difference between the 2 porons are the shape
the one that came with the pc plate have certain parts cut off

[quiet bay]

Are you planning to make ur keyboard look nicer 🤔

[fluid ravine]

so technically one has more foam than the other

[fluid ravine]

i will try

[exotic plaza]

lol

i am such a big fan of your build but the default wooting case doesn't exactly go with the rest of it

[quiet bay]

thats what i was thinking

[fluid ravine]

i honestly agree

just blame my wallet

[exotic plaza]

you could probably find some kind of plastic case thats gummy mountable for like 50$ or so right?

idk i haven't looked at many non-aluminum cases ever

[quiet bay]

Alu case would probably ruin the sound of his kb

Tends to be more high pitched

[exotic plaza]

hence why i said "some kind of plastic case"

[fluid ravine]

Guys
I COOKED

[quiet bay]

I shoulda gone with a plastic case lol

[quiet bay]

Cheesy corn?

[fluid ravine]

korean cheese corn

:))))

[exotic plaza]

in hindsight plastic cases definitely have their benefits

[quiet bay]

:OO

[exotic plaza]

but honestly i like my comically heavy wooting

[quiet bay]

On the bright side my wooting looks epic cause of the case

[exotic plaza]

i made what i now realize was a mistake of getting a white case

the problem being that i'm not the biggest fan of non black and white colors

in my setup

and imo black keycaps don't fit well with it

so im stuck with white keycaps on a white base

which is honestly just a bit boring

whatever at least i know to get a black case next time i do a keyboard bujild

[fluid ravine]

what cases yall thinking of i should buy

in the future

dont know any plastic gummy oring mounted cases

never seen one tbh

only seen full built

[quiet bay]

Get white and black keycap mix like mine :v

[quiet bay]

Idk Ive never bought a plastic case before

[stray tiger]

Are you in the US @fluid ravine ?

[fluid ravine]

wait i dont think it would work tho

[fluid ravine]

yeye

[quiet bay]

Will tirade sell him a case?

[fluid ravine]

ima go eat

brb

[stray tiger]

DM me your address and I'll send you this gray one that I didnt use last week. Its not plastic though

[quiet bay]

woahh free??

[cyan adder]

tirade so good bro

what is this case? gh60?

[stray tiger]

Yeah free. He does a lot for the community and it's just laying here. I'll ship it out to him this week but I'll be in New Zealand for 2 weeks so I might not be able to see the upgrade he posts until I get back 🙂

[polar girder]

Is that a lavender Fjell?

[quiet bay]

:0 congrats mini tenz

A shame that he just went to go eat 🤣

[stray tiger]

No, its a semi rare (like 1 of 20) lower profile Fjell like case lol. Even has a brass insert

[polar girder]

Gd that’s sexy

Great build with it too

Nice

[quiet bay]

Now that I think about it how many alu cases do you own lmao

[polar girder]

Wow

[quiet bay]

sexy

[polar girder]

That’s the perfect case

That’s nuts

[stray tiger]

Yeah its like a 5-6 degree fjell. No wrist rest needed

[polar girder]

🥵

Nutty

Those keycaps on it are mint too

Knocked it out of the park with that one

Homie Tirade cops all the exclusives lol

[stray tiger]

It's just standard black on gray keycaps nothing special

[quiet bay]

One day I’ll be rich enough to get my own exclusive

[exotic plaza]

oh yeah @quiet bay did you ever have issues with some of your tx stabs being really sluggish?

[stray tiger]

LMK when you get rich and I'll sell you my solid brass klippe 🙂

[exotic plaza]

especially since you used molykote?

[quiet bay]

Gomna be quite a long time

[quiet bay]

Hmm not really

They feel crisp for me

[exotic plaza]

hmm some of mine are

[stray tiger]

For you and me both. Ive been waiting 48 years 🙂

[exotic plaza]

the one that i tried molykote on i actually had to remove the molykote bc it was too thick

[polar girder]

Oh the lighting kind of gives it a lavender hue

Oh plus I’m always rocking night shift on my phone lol

Still clean tho

[exotic plaza]

i think maybe i have to lube the point where the wires attach a little better

like that cylindrical section on them

bc on the ones where i intentionally added lube to that spot they seem fine

but the sample size isn't exactly large

[polar girder]

Oh would it be crazy to get a hundred pack of tiny baggies and put a drop of oil in each one and put 1 spring in each one

Seems kind of crazy but also low key much easier

And risk free of snagging any springs

[stray tiger]

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

[polar girder]

I was gonna take the easy route with lube and not open it but really do need to lube the springs

[exotic plaza]

already did lol

[quiet bay]

The only time it ever felt mushy was applying bandaid mod

Removed it

[exotic plaza]

i just need to but some more work into them i think

[quiet bay]

Tried it again later

[stray tiger]

The syringe trick is where is ats TBH

[quiet bay]

And it wasnt mushy

Weird

[exotic plaza]

we'll see about it next time i open it up

i dont have a syringe for it 😢

i suppose i could just order one

[stray tiger]

Cheap off Amazon

[quiet bay]

For wire balancing?

[exotic plaza]

what?

for adding extra lube in the cavity while they are already in to make it easier to tune the amount

[quiet bay]

I’ve seen people wire balance using syringes lel mb

Or maybe it was something else

[quiet bay]

That makes more sense

[polar girder]

You ever seen brass keycaps lol

[quiet bay]

It was either the wire balancing or lube

[polar girder]

Probably not cuz tarnish

Or oxidation or whatever

[quiet bay]

Those would be so expensiv

[stray tiger]

It would require some heavy springs lol

[polar girder]

Right true lol

Just a thought exercise

[quiet bay]

Full brass case, brass plate, brass keycaps?

[polar girder]

Yessssss

That’s what I’m saying lol

[quiet bay]

Comically heavy

[polar girder]

Right along side the full Alu build

[quiet bay]

Yess
