[quiet bay]

I want to see a full alu build with a full brass build one day lol

Side by side

[fluid ravine]

tysm again <33

[quiet bay]

We need a sound test once u get it

[fluid ravine]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
:)

[polar girder]

No I’m scouring through Mekanisk old posts and learning more about the Fjell evolution

Pretty crazy

Randomly came across this little thing

https://treasuretypes.com/products/type9?variant=42075468464278

Pretty sweet lol OoS tho

[spark prism]

the pc plate for the 60he makes a huge difference

switches still have crap sounds but the plate helps a lot now that we don't have a metallic bottom out sound

[fluid ravine]

yesssirrr

for me i think the only difference it made was typing feel
sound? barely maybe a little bit deeper but not huge

honestly now i think about it im fine with the steel plate

[fiery wadi]

i have the tofu60 redux, with brass weight bar and PC plate with the silicon and lubbed switches. Its substanially better than it was when i first got it. If you have a tofu, the new plate makes a large large difference

[spark prism]

yea it mutes the switch sound by a decent amount

I'm using a fjell and it makes it not sound horrible

typing feels the same since it's tray mount

[fiery wadi]

i prefer muted keyboards. could careless about thock tbh. so thats a win for me. ive not noticed any typing feel difference.

[spark prism]

for gaming same. If i game I'd rather have a muted board. I just switch out to one of my customs if I want a daily use board

[fiery wadi]

yeah. i use my wooting for pretty much everything but work and such. I have a 75% for stuff like the adobe suite where i need the F row and function keys. Even then, I still actually kinda prefer my wooting solely because of my Tofu case & Osume keycap set. its all pink and i love it

[proud hound]

i did band aid mod only on space bar cuz lube did not solved it for me

other stab is fine so i did not used

[fiery wadi]

tape mod is a good additon too

[wraith notch]

If anyone wants to change the upstroke color of the RT display RGB effect, it seems that you can do this now by layering it over the trail effect.

Just waiting for the ability to change the downstroke color now...

[fluid ravine]

just updated today?

[wraith notch]

I figured it out today. I don't remember when the last firmware update was released

[fluid ravine]

huh

i dont see it

on the web

prob cus im on my laptop rn

[wraith notch]

Is your firmware up to date? The new RGB stuff came with it

[fluid ravine]

if i gotta have my wooting plugged in then no

im in bed with my laptop doing a little bit of homework

[wraith notch]

Gotcha. Yeah you need to plug in your Wooting.

[fluid ravine]

oh ok=

i will do it tmrw

[wraith notch]

The update was released two days ago, btw

https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/v4-6-6-73822ecb38274630a2067bf37171aa79

[fluid ravine]

ah ok

kewl kewl

actully so tired rn
ima go to sleep

gnn!!

[wraith notch]

Good night!

[void hollow]

anyone able to help me find this deskpad?

[fossil cloud]

is YMDK a good brand for double shot PBT keycaps? I'm looking at these keycaps - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JWHTYW9?th=1 (also dyed but not sure if that really is a big deal or not)
Or any good suggestions for double shot PBT keycaps that have some design or color scheme I'll take as well

im not a big fan of blank black unfortunately, although it does look clean

[loud zephyr]

Kbdfans Japanese Style Deskmat Black C. Pretty old and hard to find but maybe there'rs similar patterns out there

[void hollow]

holy f*ck somebody actually got the answer to it

[fossil cloud]

Like this for example? https://a.co/d/ioEdlUe

[void hollow]

*thank you, now i have a image i could search up in google for stores!

[loud zephyr]

Ur welcome and good luck 👍

[void hollow]

meow!

[fossil cloud]

darn all the keychron cherry keycaps don't look very good visually (or the ones i'm looking at are sold out)

[loud zephyr]

When in doubt browse through Kbdfans. Or just wait for Resonance R2, the base kit looks pretty generous

https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-resonance-r2?_pos=3&_psq=reson&_ss=e&_v=1.0

[void hollow]

when in doubt where do i find nice/minimalist deskmats/mousepads

[loud zephyr]

maybe, maybe not?

https://www.switchkeys.com.au/collections/in-stock/products/asanoha-control-deskmat?variant=45301938258213

[fossil cloud]

Does KBDfans have any good PBT caps you can recommend? I see a lot of abs keycaps

[elder hollow]

Kbdfans' abs caps are great

[lilac island]

I think I have a sound and feel I like now, just need to sort out stabs !!

love the thock on my space bar, all the keys sound much deeper in real life than in the recording though

[devout torrent]

just got address confrirmation for alumaze -order

hype

[dry trench]

What colour?

[devout torrent]

concrete

[dry trench]

Ahh you NA or EU?

[devout torrent]

NA

My batch was NA-MAZE

[dry trench]

Ah I'm EU

[devout torrent]

EU should also be soon based on the update page:
EU-Doolhof: shipments start the 26th of October.

EU-Doolhof-B2: shipments start the 31st of October.

[dry trench]

Yeah Im doolhof

So hopefully soon

Depends on speed of warehouse

[devout torrent]

yeah you'll probably get address confirmation email soon as well

I placed my order basically immediately after they opened so mine came in pretty fast

[untold wigeon]

is there stabs i can buy to elimante my wootings rattle

[dry trench]

Well new announcement answers that

[civic salmon]

I have TX plate mounted stabilizers and they completely removed the rattle. Not sure why but the stabilizers I had with my wooting did not stop rattling/ticking no matter how much I lubed/tuned them

Maybe you have a similar situation

[devout torrent]

ah, didn't see that. Thanks!

[spice herald]

let’s goooooo

[dry trench]

Literally just posted lol

[devout torrent]

Once I get my alumaze I am def swapping to tx stabs, already have some here

[civic salmon]

Yeah I'm waiting for some TX screw ins to come in for my new board too

[untold wigeon]

can u link them perhaps

[civic salmon]

I see you have an EU rule so I cannot

Divinikey sells them, but they're US based

[untold wigeon]

whats the name

ill look it up

[civic salmon]

TX AP Plate Mount stabilizers

[untold wigeon]

is there a model i need to look out for

like sizes

[civic salmon]

Just plate mount

And non long pole

AP is rev 4, non-AP is rev 3

[untold wigeon]

this?

[civic salmon]

No

Those are PCB mount, not plate mount

https://divinikey.com/products/tx-ap-plate-mount-stabilizers?variant=40481121566785

This

[untold wigeon]

yes therye the same or not

same name

[civic salmon]

No

[untold wigeon]

just european site

[civic salmon]

The ones I sent are plate mount, the ones you sent are PCB mount

One screws into the PCB while the other clips into the plate

Unless you're purchasing for the module, you'd need the plate mount ones

[untold wigeon]

dawgggggggg

[civic salmon]

Yeah I figured shipping would suck

[untold wigeon]

x 2 the value of item is shipping

brutal

[civic salmon]

Probably not worth it, but I don't have any other personal experience with plate mount stabilizers

So I can't speak on anything else

[untold wigeon]

i see

[cyan adder]

Check on aliexpress kbdfans shop

[weary tree]

I dont think they have tx stabs

They didnt have when i ordered my redux

[wispy peak]

3 layers tape mod, band aid mod, pc plate w/silicone dampener, lubed switches and stabs, and SA profile keycaps

only waiting on alumaze now to complete the build

stabs need a bit of work though

also my first ever mod, was a fun experience

[onyx pier]

which screw head do i need for the burger mount

[spiral canyon]

All screws are PH1s

[onyx pier]

does the material matter

[velvet egret]

Anyone on the wooting team/ woothelp any idea when the L60 will be available to get pre-ordered? (Just wondering, due to L45 ready for pre-order).

[untold wigeon]

Finally got my wooting so i was wondering if anyone can clerarify some things, i usually dip my switch stems and housing in warm water and whipe them off after. Do i have to be concerned with messing anything up with the magnet? Also for tape modding your switches can someone refer me to the method they used?

[devout torrent]

Why do you dip the switches in water? Never seen anyone do that. Tape mod is usually for the pcb not the switches. Are you talking about switch film?

[tame vessel]

I assume it might be to wash away any leftover coatings from the casting/molding process

[untold wigeon]

it just allows me to better remove the factory lube on the switches

[tame vessel]

Ahhh

[devout torrent]

ah makes sense, yeah I don't see any issue as long as you let things properly dry

[untold wigeon]

yea i do it with any factory lube switch as i like to lube them my way, even though these sound great out of the box, ive just never dipped a hall effect switch.

so i was a bit worried it would cause some kind of problems

[untold wigeon]

Also i was wondering about some people talking about taping the inside of their switch to reduce the sound feedback when the switch resets

[devout torrent]

I don't think I've seen anyone do that in a while but adding material inside might affect the sensor of the switches

[untold wigeon]

Damn i wonder if i can scroll up and find an example of how they taped them, i beleive it was either taping the top housing where the stem hits on reset

iirc

[glass viper]

What are the keycap names on this keyboard?

[cyan adder]

@stray tiger @fluid ravine can u guys drop a polyfill link to buy ? I can’t find it on French Amazon, I need to figure out how it’s called in French. Also is it risky with heat from pcb to take fire ?

[cyan adder]

@quiet bay

[stray tiger]

look up fiberfill that might work

[fluid ravine]

Switch tape mod

Yeah wassup

Go to search and put in my user name
Type in switch tape mod and you should see a paragraph/brief explanation somewhere

Sorry I can't link it to u rn
I'm at school

I think in French it's called fibre polyester

Or fibre de polyester

[untold wigeon]

Alright sounds good is there images? Because I noticed the sound from the switch returning and want the best way to get rid of that. I'll check it out when I get home

[untold wigeon]

Also I saw you used switch pads do they disturb the actuation point at all?

[fluid ravine]

Depending on the thickness of the switch pads then no

. 25mm is recommended but. 5 works

[fluid ravine]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[quiet bay]

Geekark triangle keycaps

[tiny summit]

what keycaps are those?

[wispy peak]

maxkey F22

[tiny summit]

also are those 45g or standard 60g?

[wispy peak]

sa profile

60

[tiny summit]

tyty

[tiny summit]

that might get delayed because of the cable

[spice herald]

was just thinking about this

[tiny summit]

yeah cause my cable doesnt come till the end of november sadly

and i have the oldest batch

[spice herald]

I mean it says everything is at the warehouse now so they probably allocated from the previous batch would be my guess

[tiny summit]

you lucky mf XD

[wispy peak]

i got my cable today

[spice herald]

Hahaha for real - it was easy to not think about for the last two months but now it’s like all I’m thinking about

[tiny summit]

bro how did mine get delayed but everyone else got theirs

[spice herald]

When did you buy yours?

[tiny summit]

when it was first released

[spice herald]

Oh damn - yeah I bought mine a couple days after it was released too

[tiny summit]

what batch were you put in?

[polar girder]

Tenz Jr uses switch pads? I missed that part

[spice herald]

I was in NA Turn originally

That was because the detachable cable was going to be fulfilled later than the alumaze originally

[tiny summit]

oh wait maybe i got it a few days late thenm cause im in NA rotation

[spice herald]

Could definitely be the case - still weird tho

[tiny summit]

yeah

[spice herald]

I mean different batches arrive all the time - I could have gotten in right at the end of the first batch but we will never know lol

[glass viper]

Can you recommend a good keycap for Wooting 60he?

[tiny summit]

yeah thats kinda stupid though cause i dont get mine until the 19th to the 22nd

[tiny summit]

anything you want

[glass viper]

I'm looking for a neat keycap with a white background.

[loud zephyr]

Pbtfans' pbt and abs are very good, also the packaging is nice fwiw. Not as exciting in terms of colour options but I'd still have CRP as slightly better pbt material. It's like rubbing a pebble stone on your face, stranded on an island

[fossil cloud]

Haha got it thanks much appreciated

[tiny summit]

so like just white keycaps?

[glass viper]

I'm looking for keycaps with English engraved in black on a white background keycap.

[tiny summit]

so really just any standard white keycap, what budget do you have?

[glass viper]

I think the budget will be around $36.95.

If you like it, you can write more.

:>

[tiny summit]

legit was abt to send those lmao

theres another set close to that on knb thats in stock for 12 dollars more though

[glass viper]

I like it, but I'm a student so I don't have a lot of budget :<

[tiny summit]

unfortunately most sets of premium keycaps are gonna be like 75 min

anything below that and id rather use the base keycaps imo

[glass viper]

All right. Thanks for the advice :>

[tiny summit]

yeah anytime

[fluid ravine]

Ya poron switch pads from cannon keys .5mm

[polar girder]

Oh damn

News

I see

[quiet bay]

Started to relube my switches

[fluid ravine]

"Crunchy"?

[fallow hearth]

Are the stock stabilizers any good

mostly wondering about the rattle

[fluid ravine]

Yeah!

They're good

[quiet bay]

Ik I dont know why its crunchy ok

[fluid ravine]

It's ok we will figure it out

[fallow hearth]

Good to know, wont bother changing them ig

[fluid ravine]

Pochizo did like 5 layers I think

Said it sounded worse if less?

[quiet bay]

More clacky

Im going to try to use some moleskin tape

when i buy it but idk when

[untold wigeon]

Time to lube all my switches and stabs

[idle warren]

Any idea of the new akko cream yellow magnetic switches will work with the wooting?

[quiet bay]

It could work since its magnetic but I havent tried it myself

[fluid ravine]

Most likely not

[idle warren]

Would be interesting to try. They dont seem to be selling them seperately though

[fluid ravine]

I couldnt really get a good look but if I recall the magnet is on the side of the stem

[idle warren]

It's at the bottom but seems relatively small compared to the lekker magnets (If i remember it correctly)

[quiet bay]

I think its worth a try :v

[untold wigeon]

If you can get them on Amazon it's worth trying to see if they work, If not return them

[quiet bay]

No idea if itd sound better thi

tho

[idle warren]

Could only find them on the Mod007 anniversary version. 140 for the keebs plus switches is kinda meh

Hope they will be sold seperately later

[untold wigeon]

Akko switches that I've tried all have really tight housing and sound fairly good out of the box

If this one is no exception It's worth a try

If they are sold for a certain keyboard then I doubt that they can work with the wooting

Who knows

[stray tiger]

Love seeing all the Wooting imitators. It drives innovation and competition.

That was in response to the Akko switches

[untold wigeon]

13 second 4k clip can’t even post

Such bullshit

[stray tiger]

@untold wigeon

ight lets see it

[spice herald]

aaaaand we have shipping

[crimson shoal]

What's the real diff between Wooting's PBT or ABS keycaps? Sound, quality, what's the better one?

[quiet bay]

How I imagine my keycaps would look if they were cerakeys

yes

[fluid ravine]

faxx

[stray tiger]

I don't love the shine I get after a while with ABS keycaps but I love the feel. You might think they would be slick but they aren't. Just a bit tacky

[fluid ravine]

Lel

[quiet bay]

You evil-

[fluid ravine]

HAHAHA

its so cursed 😭

[quiet bay]

guys

I do not like the crunchy sound

😭

my keyboard is crunchyyy!!

[quiet bay]

What If i used aerogel for dampening 🤔

[fluid ravine]

i thought you werent rich

[quiet bay]

ok nvm it's pretty expensive

[quiet bay]

actually what about aerogel insulation padding 🤔

[fluid ravine]

dunno

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[quiet bay]

nvm looked at a video the insulation didn't rlly do that much for thock

[void hollow]

are there any south/north switch comparison for 100% led?

[pale aspen]

use gmk in gaming keyboard

you should get MTNU instead

better for ergo and PBT

3 sets available in WOB , Beight and Grey

[void hollow]

damn those gaps to human scale is like spreading of-

[fluid ravine]

LMAO DONT 😂

[void hollow]

but yea, i was actually looking to replace a few of the bottom right keys to arrowkeys

haven't got to it yet but i assume the same problem you encounter

[fluid ravine]

problem?
nah i thought it was just funny so i did it to trigger some people

[void hollow]

oh LMAO

thats some 65% illusion

[fluid ravine]

ongggg

😂

[void hollow]

but are there actual arrowkeycaps that could replace that of a 60

[fluid ravine]

What I will be sleeping on tonight

[void hollow]

60% in the bottomright

[fluid ravine]

nah

[void hollow]

im just gonna get blanks and start drawing my own f*cking arrows then

/s

[fluid ravine]

see how the caps are smaller than others like alt and fn bc theres a gap between

[void hollow]

yeah xD

[void hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/rick-roll-rick-ashley-never-gonna-give-you-up-gif-22113173

[fluid ravine]

yeah thats why the arrow keys look like that when i put it on a 60

[void hollow]

yeah xD

[fluid ravine]

anyways ima go to sleep now

gn

[void hollow]

gngn

[gaunt linden]

Hey guys Should go for alumaze or tofu redux, or Maybe both for different setups?

[loud zephyr]

just paint the plate pink to make the gaps disappear

[loud zephyr]

Alumaze for something different. Pocket the change and buy me this

[elfin lark]

So what modding most are doing on the 60he ?

[weary tree]

lubing ofcourse

depending on what sound you want you can tape mod, switch tape mod, change plates, change case, change keycaps.

[elfin lark]

Yeah got it. Will see once I get. Usually I change keycaps to xda profile, foam mod to close the empty space and lube only stabilisers. Switch lubing is too much work

[frank heron]

Gateron makes the wooting switches rigbht?

[onyx pier]

Yes

[crimson sky]

what about it lol

[spiral canyon]

Mockup v0.1
I wonder if it'd be a good idea to split it to both PCBs to be able to place them at different angles relative to each other on the desk
And I still have to test some 4 hall sensors how are they behaving with lekkers and pick suitable IC, I'm most familiar with atmegas, but idk if they'd be good for this purpose

[void hollow]

#🪛│modding_faq has it all

[velvet egret]

@glossy pagoda Hope you don't mind me pinging you, i was just wondering when the L60 switches would get a batch and be available for pre-order?

[glossy pagoda]

Currently available

[spiral canyon]

[glossy pagoda]

Wait 60 seconds then refresh

I uhhh... missed a little checkmark 😅

[normal schooner]

mark mark

[fallow hearth]

Am I safe to order if I requested wooting to cancel my current switch order thats mixed with the wooting60he to ship it earlier

Im scared that the support team wont reach out in time to me

[glossy pagoda]

Yes

You can also place your current or your new order on hold via the Wooting hub

[fallow hearth]

Alrighty, cheers

[velvet egret]

Thank you Mark.

Would u say L60 are more like mx cherry silent red or L45?

[spiral canyon]

L45s are surprisingly similar to MX Reds, but a bit more smoother and lighter
Same with L60s and Blacks

[velvet egret]

I currently have mx cherry silent reds but im getting together everything i need for module release.. but im not sure which switch to go with.. i really like my silent reds but just worried that L45 might be too light.. ive had speed switches before on a corsair board and i had the worst experience ever.

[keen prism]

i think you'd want the L60

[spiral canyon]

I really like L45s on UwU, but I'd go for L60s for bigger keeb

[keen prism]

though you can adjust the actuation point so itd be a less pronounced issue with the switch being too light if you used the L45

i think MX Reds bottom out around 60g anyway

actuate at 45? i think i dunno

[velvet egret]

i will be using the keyboard also to type on all day.. as my daily job requires that

[keen prism]

so L60 is probably up your street

[velvet egret]

alrighty thanks.

[fallow hearth]

[normal schooner]

[fallow hearth]

gonna wait with ordering, cuz im not sure whats going on

[velvet egret]

What are you unsure of?

[fallow hearth]

Whats the actual delivery date

[spiral canyon]

First one is when given stuff will be at warehouse
Second one is when stuff should arrive at your home

[edgy veldt]

Round 2

[fallow hearth]

Well the first one is 21st November, the 2nd one is between 30th oct and 2nd nov

[velvet egret]

These dates are also not set in stone.

[spiral canyon]

Oh ffs, bamboozled again

[velvet egret]

Those are just expected/estimated dates. could be later could be on time could even be earlier who knows.

[fallow hearth]

Yeah but the 2nd pic makes me think its calculating based on EU-Drop batch

[velvet egret]

If these are the switches you are wanting you might aswel pre-order them. before you know it your in the next batch and youll get them even later

[fallow hearth]

Just want them as backup, not as much of a priority tbh

Gonna wait until my current order is cancelled

[fluid ravine]

[marble shuttle]

https://youtu.be/-aazAwda4bM?si=hzswnaYlE1jPcknU

[spice herald]

the golds don’t match up perfectly but I have a feeling the accent esc will match perfectly with my black alumaze

my shipment says it’s supposed to get here Monday but the shipping says 2-day so it could very well update to tomorrow. Will report back

[crimson sky]

putting that keycult artisan on a wooting is kinda devious

[spice herald]

Hahaha it’s going to be a sleeper build

[crimson sky]

how is it a sleeper

[spice herald]

I mean my friends that come over won’t know it’s a wooting

[crimson sky]

"sleeper build"

[spice herald]

same color scheme and everything

lmao

[crimson sky]

black with gold accents doesn't really scream sleeper

not to mention a keycult artisan

[spice herald]

Fair enough lol

[verbal folio]

these do tho

[crimson sky]

And they are neither black nor gold

(dyesubbed black legends ig)

[gaunt linden]

What is that?

Does anyone have a vid of that one ? For sound

[crimson sky]

Just put "unikorn soundtest" into youtube

Not like you can put a wooting in one

[jade hazel]

anybody know why sometimes the stem sits a little lower than when it comes stock/unlubed

[stray tiger]

You can put a wooting into a v1 Unikorn and it's been done

[stray tiger]

It's lubed in stock form, just not consistently. If you lube yours and the stem isnt returning fully to height I would open the switch up and ensure nothing is interfering with the spring or the stem.

[crimson sky]

You need to cut the pcb or ot sits super high

[stray tiger]

Mine didnt sit high and this one seems to fit fine too #1075446637826162750 message

[crimson sky]

The case requires pcb cutouts

[cinder merlin]

so are the L45's better for gaming per say or just a different feel

[keen prism]

its entirely subjective

you may like the lighter spring or you might think its too easy to press and therefore it'd just hinder you ingame

[spice herald]

If you’re prone to making typos I would recommend the heavier L60s

[cinder merlin]

sounds good, was thinking if I should get the L45s. I'm just getting into modding and custom keyboards as I used to use razer's huntsman (thats 4 years old).

[fallow hearth]

thinking about getting l45 as well

not sure though, im currently using gateron yellow milky which are 60g iirc

[untold wigeon]

@fluid ravine in your opinion does the swith tape mod make a huge difference or its not worth the hassle

[fluid ravine]

yes

For me its probably a mod i recommend to do for all wootings (imo)

[untold wigeon]

damn ok, im probably going to open them all again and mod them with the thin layer

i bought medical foam tape yesterday but im afraid its tooo thick to be useful

[fluid ravine]

nah its very thin

[untold wigeon]

the one i got is thickk

[fluid ravine]

really? show

[fluid ravine]

oh shit-

uhm
i shouldve specified what tape..

[fluid ravine]

UM LEMME CHANGE IT RQ
SORRY FOR THE INCONVINEINCE

[untold wigeon]

Oh no it's fine I saw the one you were talking about

But it's my bad

I thought this would've been a good idea

Until I looked at it after I bought it and realized it was pretty thick

Listen I might mod one switch with this and see how it goes

[fluid ravine]

kk

gl

since its thick just do one layer on each side

it might be too thick..

[verbal folio]

pls come on sunday

[untold wigeon]

its worth a shot for now

if it doesnt work ill buy the one you got

[verbal folio]

because i’ll be at work on monday

[fluid ravine]

whatchu buy

[verbal folio]

wooting 60he

imma get the alumaze after i comeback from poland so in january

since i need to save up for the roadtrip

ferry ticket + fuel and to buy stuff in poland

since i’ll be there for a month and a half xD

every penny counts

think i found a cheat code

[fluid ravine]

wassup

[verbal folio]

i tried to swerve out the way but unfortunately fwd + two deers at the same time xD

still lucky the deer hit my tyre at least

[fluid ravine]

yeah imagine it hit like your engine or whatever

man idk wouldve been suffering

[untold wigeon]

Interesting

[verbal folio]

bro but i was pissed so much

[fluid ravine]

wait thats good enough

[untold wigeon]

im actually surpised

[fluid ravine]

wait same

[untold wigeon]

and no sluggish feeling or anything

no change in the feeling

[fluid ravine]

mine sound the same
only produces bottom out sound

ig you lucky you bought that tape

less of a hassle now

[untold wigeon]

its a crazy deference

[fluid ravine]

oh shit

[untold wigeon]

yea i think im with you on that one

this is a must have mod

100%

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[verbal folio]

because i waited for the tow truck to come like 4 hours then i waited like 6 more at the service xD

[fluid ravine]

lessgooo

[verbal folio]

and i was like 1hr away from home

[fluid ravine]

RIP

[verbal folio]

after 20+hrs of driving no sleep

[fluid ravine]

i could never wait that long

[fluid ravine]

well another recruit bois

[fluid ravine]

@quiet bay

[fallow hearth]

@fluid ravine Did you do the holee mod on stabs?

[fluid ravine]

bro bought the wrong medical tape on accident yet it worked as if it was 3 layers

[fluid ravine]

ya

[fallow hearth]

they sound much better i assume

and they're stock?

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[fallow hearth]

aight will do that as well

last thing is l60 vs l45

[fluid ravine]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[fallow hearth]

wowiee

that sounds great

yea def gonna do that

[untold wigeon]

also there is like zero wobble when you do the mod as well

[fluid ravine]

correct!

:)

glad you noticed

[untold wigeon]

make sense since the extra tape makes the housing tighter

[fallow hearth]

My current keeb has insane rattle on the spacebar but cba doing anything with it now that i ordered w60

[untold wigeon]

damn im super happy with this

yea i noticed it especially because im using sa keycaps

[fluid ravine]

oo it does not make the housing tighter

haha

films do that

[untold wigeon]

yea i know but i heard films dont help with these switches

[fallow hearth]

Do you need to clip the little legs on stabs for holee? Heard wooting's stabs dont have those

[untold wigeon]

so i didnt even both doing it

[fluid ravine]

it just makes the stem have less space to move when its at its reset position

[untold wigeon]

of all my years of modding ive never though i would be taping the inside of a switch

[fluid ravine]

yeah people assume that films decrease stem wobble but actually it only increase housing tightness

[fluid ravine]

hehee

[quiet bay]

you need to do all sorts of things to make lekker switches sound good 😭

[untold wigeon]

haha im willing to do it though

[daring umbra]

is there a video for the switch tape mod?

[fluid ravine]

nope

[daring umbra]

how does one acquire knowledge?

[quiet bay]

There is no video for the switch tape mod BUT...there is a clear explanation on how to do it :)))

#1166204178759176283 message

[fluid ravine]

hope you understand :>

[fluid ravine]

so whats your plan now

[daring umbra]

is the tape glossy type or cloth type?

[fluid ravine]

gentle paper tape

@untold wigeon send the medical tape that you use

honestly more efficient to use the one you're using

[daring umbra]

this one?

[fluid ravine]

that one works

idk which type of medical tape but it works as we now just discovered it

[daring umbra]

there’s this medical tape clear usually for dextrose and it’s kinda difficult to remove once sticked until you use alcohol to remove the goo

is that the kind of tape?

[fluid ravine]

i have no clue

but the one im using is this

https://www.amazon.com/Nexcare-First-Gentle-Paper-Tape/dp/B002SV0M3O

[untold wigeon]

this is the exact one

one sec that link may not work

https://shop.shoppersdrugmart.ca/Luxury/Categories/Health/Medicine-%26-Treatments/First-Aid/Bandaging-Supplies-%26-Tape/LB-Foam-Tape/p/BB_057800874379?variantCode=057800874379

[daring umbra]

thank you! 💯

[untold wigeon]

any foam medical tape should work but that one is the exact brand i got

im not sure if the other ones are thicker though

[weary tree]

i got this one

same as tenz i think

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[untold wigeon]

i think that one is the safest bet

[fluid ravine]

safest bet is to use gentle tape

[untold wigeon]

because like tenz said mine is technically starting at 3 layersa

with that tape you can decide to add more layers

[fluid ravine]

but if you want to be more efficient or make the proccess quicker than use the foam medical tape that @untold wigeon uses

[untold wigeon]

^^ very true it takes me around a minute for each switch

[fluid ravine]

while my ass over here takes like 3 minutes for a switch

[untold wigeon]

ofc it will vary but i only have to add 1 layer to each side

LMAO

[fluid ravine]

lmao

💀

[untold wigeon]

this one is thick as well so it doesnt bend or anything

its stiff

[fluid ravine]

i might as well buy the tape you got and replace what i have

[untold wigeon]

i just put it in

and its good to go

[fluid ravine]

i put like masking tape around the medical tape cus it doesnt stick well onto each other

[untold wigeon]

oh wow

that sounds like a lot of work for each switch

[fluid ravine]

so yeah im thinking of replacing the tape with the one you use

[untold wigeon]

and you have to do it for each side

[fluid ravine]

yeah took me 3 days

was lazy

[fluid ravine]

yeap

[untold wigeon]

only thing left do is holee mod my stabs

that has to be one of the worst most fustrating mods

[fluid ravine]

i thin your build will sound a lot better

[fluid ravine]

nah

its not

[untold wigeon]

100%

trust me i have hand shakes

[fluid ravine]

or maybe its just me bc ive done it alot of times

[untold wigeon]

and im very impatient

[fluid ravine]

so im more efficient

[fluid ravine]

oh lawd

[untold wigeon]

i swear for some people its super easy

[weary tree]

my holee mods get ripped up after a month of use

[untold wigeon]

like ive done it with every one of my builds and it gets me every time

[weary tree]

i can change it easy but so frequent

[untold wigeon]

but i made my gf build a keyboard

and she did it to hers

1 shot

no trouble

i was speechless

[fluid ravine]

damn

skill diff :L

[untold wigeon]

here me out though

MAYBEEE

instead of bandaid

i use

my new trusty foam

HAHAHA

[fluid ravine]

https://www.kroger.com/p/kroger-tender-tape-small-width-dressing-tape/0001111035876?searchType=default_search

hmm idk if this works

[fluid ravine]

it might make it mushy

[untold wigeon]

heyyyy its worth a shot

[fluid ravine]

true

[untold wigeon]

its all about the adventure

who knows what can happen

[fluid ravine]

the standard bandaid you wanna use for holee mod is fabric bandaid

[fluid ravine]

you right you right

[untold wigeon]

ive tried shrink rapping the wire one time

like just the tip of it

never again

did nothign

[spice herald]

I dont think that’ll work since you have to stick it to itself in order for it to adhere

[quiet bay]

Good luck taking all the tape off 😂

[stray tiger]

Get a cheap syringe off Amazon and lube the wire gap well and I think you'll find most of your stab issues will go away

[untold wigeon]

wonder if i syringed myself with 205

will i work smoother

[spice herald]

true

quite possibly

Get enough 205g0 to fill your bathtub

[untold wigeon]

rather not spend my life savings away like thjat

crazy how you can get so much keyboard stuff from amazon now

[spice herald]

I’m currently trying to find a foam tape that looks like yours so I can link it but anything that comes up with “foam tape” on Amazon is used for like third party automotive part installs lmao

[untold wigeon]

canada or us

?

[spice herald]

might have to see if any drug stores near me carry that - closest delivery to me is Nov. 8th 💀

[untold wigeon]

where do you live?

i got mine from a drug store

it might be your best bet

[spice herald]

Good ol Florida unfortunately

[untold wigeon]

damn and the shipping is nov 8

thats craZY

[spice herald]

I can’t wait to move back up to Washington State

[untold wigeon]

even on .com?

didnt know florida had it rough like that

[spice herald]

It’s just way too hot here. Unless you’re 80 and like the beach it’s not all that great

[untold wigeon]

im 80

nah but if i was 80 i would probs be in florida

its nice i used to go every summer

but to live there

idk

its better than being in quebec and have to suffer 6 months of winter

[spice herald]

I run hot so living in Florida is basically that much worse for me. I looked it up though and I guess they carry that Nexcare tape at Target for everyone that has one near them! Looks like it runs about $5 USD too

[fast sinew]

for the lekker switches on the wooting would you guys say its worth it to lube

[quiet bay]

Yeah makes it feel alot smoother

also sounds better imo

[fast sinew]

sick i could understand the after/before videos but its just not the same as hearing in person, just wanted to ask this generally before i spend long doing this lol

[quiet bay]

good luck with the process

I always get distracted when doing it 😂

[fast sinew]

i just need to put a video on and go at it

[quiet bay]

Very clean build, my keyboard looks nicer without rgb

[fast sinew]

im thinking about getting some more premium black keycaps but im still stuck where to find good keycaps that arent like 100 bucks

[untold wigeon]

back in the day i used to pick up epbt keycaps from kbdfans for like 70, i loved them but with the shippin and all it would still come out to 100

some keycaps from like aliexpress or amazon are a hit or a miss in terms of quality

but if you want some premium caps thats what youll most likely be spending

[stable kindle]

i skimmed wootings founders fireplace stream and saw that the 60 module is delayed since they had to work on tickets for 2-3 weeks. Did they release an announcement to when it would be availble for pre-order?

[civic salmon]

As far as I know, there’s no specific date yet besides November

[stable kindle]

@civic salmonthank you for that. i did also see that their new layout will be annouced by the end of this year. if they do release that info by the end of this year is there a general time frame for when that would be avalible for order?

[civic salmon]

No clue. There’s even less information about the new layout. I believe the only things that are confirmed are the layout is bigger than 60% and less than full sized and that there should be more information by the end of the year

[quiet bay]

Im about to try out 10 layers of tape mod 🤣

[fluid ravine]

ima just say-

say bye bye to time

and say hello to hell

[quiet bay]

Recording 8: Before
Recording 9: After

actually uh this is before

I kinda like it 🤣

(Also surprisingly fits)

[fluid ravine]

barely any different but its crazy how it fits

oop

[quiet bay]

not usre

if I should keep this

or revert back to 5 layers 🤔

actually I'll keep it

for now

[fast sinew]

Any recommendations for website to buy keycaps? Other than like kbfans?

[sleek wagon]

I'm at Disneyland and all I can think about is building my wooting when I get back lol

[quiet bay]

[sleek wagon]

[quiet bay]

Confetti?

[sleek wagon]

I only paid 30 for my sorbothane

[sleek wagon]

Could be interesting lol

[quiet bay]

It doesn't have any dampening properties xD

[sleek wagon]

Packed in enough who knows lol

[quiet bay]

I'm so glad I got the gummy o ring mount rn

[untold wigeon]

[quiet bay]

it's so easy to take it out and mod

😌

[quiet bay]

mmm thock I likey

[untold wigeon]

[quiet bay]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lp_kJNGPyI my keyboard is starting to sound like this more

just less "crisp" and inbetween thock and crisp

[untold wigeon]

mine sounds very deep i think

only wanna buy stabs now and grease those

and keycaps

[fluid ravine]

ah shi

forgot about that

[quiet bay]

yez

I hope wooting makes an alu plate sometime

I want to try alu plate too 👀

without spending 50+ dollars

[fluid ravine]

Press them alphas right now

[untold wigeon]

my alphas sound the same

Id need to go to my room to film

[fluid ravine]

did you just lube them?

[untold wigeon]

I didnt do many mods

tbh

urs is a poppier thock i think

mine is a bit dead sounding but deep

[fluid ravine]

cus gyat damn that is full out muted

[untold wigeon]

Nope not just lube

this is my first ever modded kb

anyways

[quiet bay]

when is ur alu case coming 👀

[fluid ravine]

man @sleek wagon better take that back now
that shit is the ACTUALLY definition of muted holy fuck

[fluid ravine]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[untold wigeon]

i did pc plate and silicone dampener and stuff

[quiet bay]

did u try poron dampener?

[untold wigeon]

i mean i asked u in dms but u were egoing and not replying

[untold wigeon]

Yes

[fluid ravine]

oh right i forgotttt pc plate and silicone dampener mute the living hell out of the board

[untold wigeon]

not a big difference tbh i just wanted some pop

[quiet bay]

do you have a sound test for that?

[untold wigeon]

keep egoing son

[fluid ravine]

dawg wut

[untold wigeon]

i have so many random combinations vids so i probably would get confused

[quiet bay]

I have alot of sound tests that I did not organize too lmao

[untold wigeon]

i just sent them all to a friend who helped to decide

what keycaps should i get

do u think gmk is worth it in the long run

[quiet bay]

eh I'd just go for cheaper high quality keycaps

[fluid ravine]

oh shit i just found your dm in message request

[untold wigeon]

such as

[quiet bay]

keycaps from like pbtfans or cannonkeys, etc

[untold wigeon]

oh yea

i wanna buy pbtfans wob or smth like that

[fluid ravine]

tbh i have no fucking clue cus i do not have experience with alu cases
but i assume yes, foam does make alu case sound better as it could remove the pinging noises/hollowness

[untold wigeon]

it is too late now

[fluid ravine]

aight man ¯_(ツ)_/¯

no I am hearing things

[exotic snow]

sounds really good, what mods did you do? are the switches L60s or L45s?

[quiet bay]

he uses l60s, no idea what mods I forgor

the sound shouldn't be different between l60s and l45s tho

[exotic snow]

dw

[quiet bay]

they have the same build just different spring weight

[fluid ravine]

yeah they sound the same

[fluid ravine]

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

[exotic snow]

i've seen videos demonstrating otherwise ahahah, the l45s sounded like shit stock, i wonder if they're factory lubed

[quiet bay]

they are factory lubed

[exotic snow]

pardon my ignorance, i'm very new to modding

[fluid ravine]

GYAADDD THIS HEADACHE IS CRAZY

[quiet bay]

no it's fine better to ask than not :v

[exotic snow]

aaaaaah i think i'll give in and just get the 60he soon, even tho i've heard rumors about a 75he which would be bliss for some games but also for looks

[quiet bay]

lol I don't think that's going to be released until mid-late next year probably

[fluid ravine]

ima try to nap for the first time since kinder

this headache is insane

holy-

[quiet bay]

do it

[exotic snow]

it's mainly about looks, if i get a cool keycap set i'd like it to shine as brightly as it can, but some details are just there to be missed, so i think i'll just get a 60he and use something else for typing if needed

[polar girder]

Yeah go to sleep hoe bro

[exotic snow]

go for it!

[quiet bay]

if you want a keycap set that shines like hell then transparent keycaps are your favorite friend

[exotic snow]

i meant to shine in more of a figurative sense

[quiet bay]

ah

so to make it look amazing

[quiet bay]

the wooting's still got a pretty solid typing experience

[exotic snow]

anyhow, badseed tech said the tofu redux is pretty outstanding, but i don't really like the typing angle, i wanted to get the alumaze 60 but there's no white option, is any good low profile aluminium case you know of?

[quiet bay]

concrete grey is really close to white

(not my pictures)

[exotic snow]

ik the wrist rest i an option but i don't really like its looks

[exotic snow]

it's very cool, but a tad bit too grey for my liking

[quiet bay]

rip

what typing angle are you going for

[sleek wagon]

I understand they wanna be unique, but that left side of the board just looks so weird to me

[quiet bay]

It's alright but i wouldn't use it

I would've gone for a brass weight on the bottom instead of the side

[exotic snow]

i'm currently on a razer huntsman mini, but it's having some hicckups so i gotta switch

[sleek wagon]

I would've liked it much more if they just had a tab on the left side for the strap instead of the awkward brass thing

[sleek wagon]

Wooting blows huntsman out of the water, welcome

[quiet bay]

they should've made a brass weight with wooting logo on it while still connecting the maze on the bottom!!!

[exotic snow]

me too, pretty sure it messes with the balancing, doesn't it?

[sleek wagon]

Yeah brass weight on the bottom would look much nicer

[exotic snow]

oh ik dw, i've watched too many vids on the 60he ahahaha

[quiet bay]

something like thisss 🤤

[loud zephyr]

Bakaneko right?

[quiet bay]

Kohaku

[loud zephyr]

The flippers wet dream, moreso the Unikorn

[quiet bay]

lol I'd love a unikorn

[loud zephyr]

Enough to pay for the aftermarket price, it's like 2k plus? I wonder why it's so hyped

[quiet bay]

ok WTH 2K??

dude I'd rather get multiple alu keyboard kits with that amount of money

like the Jelly Evolv

[loud zephyr]

Yeah, I saw a dude on Discord trying to offload his for 3.5k aud, but was a limited run

[void python]

Can't wait. That's what mine'll looks like next week.

[quiet bay]

Wow whoever buys that is financially stupid 😭

[loud zephyr]

Nobody is biting yet, correction: 3.7k

[quiet bay]

Christ

[exotic snow]

in https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399 it's said tha you can buy the 60he module by itself, when will it be possible though? the message implies it already is

that option would be kinda nice since i want to get the l45s right away, and as much as the lekkers would make a great display piece, it's still 40$

euros, actually

[loud zephyr]

Module preorders are sometime in November, can't remember if an exact date was given

[exotic snow]

oh ok, thanks for clearing it up

[stray tiger]

Nov 8th is current estimated date for pre-orders.

[exotic snow]

thanks :D

This might be a dumb question but can I put the Wooting Double Shot Backlit РВТ Keap Set - Just White switches into my wooting 60 he?

[surreal linden]

is this a tweezer for switches?

anyone know?

[fluid ravine]

its tweezer for tedious tasks, not just for switches

[surreal linden]

ohh

should i just buy this then?

i think i spend over $120 on shipping alone at this point

[untold wigeon]

If the shipping is better on a kit from Amazon just get it there

[fluid ravine]

yeah the wooting kit is good
provides all the tools you need

[fluid ravine]

or this

[surreal linden]

o do you have a link for it?

[untold wigeon]

Like the price for that kit is actually good but if the shipping cost is crazy forget about it

Are you us?

[surreal linden]

idk whats compatible with wooting

[surreal linden]

canada

[untold wigeon]

Well ir doesn't necessarily have to be made for the wooting

[surreal linden]

o

wait so is every switch just the same then?

like switch opener

[untold wigeon]

With some exceptions but in this case the wooting is just like any normal mx switch

I'll try to grab the link one sec

[fluid ravine]

yeah the switch opener is made for cherry style and kahil style

[harsh dove]

Can anyone recommend me some good custom keycaps for 60HE?

It gets super wide and flimsy

[surreal linden]

[harsh dove]

I think I want front facing/side print keys and just a nice gradient colorway, preferably like black/white/red @fluid ravine

[untold wigeon]

No, 1 kit is fine

[surreal linden]

ok

[harsh dove]

yeah but something more high end lol

[surreal linden]

i have never done a custom keyboard before so this my first time

[untold wigeon]

And the second lube would he dielectic grease for the wires on the stabilizers

[fluid ravine]

ah shi ok

[surreal linden]

o

[untold wigeon]

But for the switches 205g0 is perfect, and I usually use them on the stabs as well

[surreal linden]

okok

[untold wigeon]

So you can stick with that lube for both

[surreal linden]

lube brand dont matter correct?

[fluid ravine]

so what im seeing so far are the side print keycaps being sold from like 15-30 usd

[surreal linden]

this one looks like offbrand dollarama type

[untold wigeon]

No basically if it's 205 and it's grade is 0

You're good

[fluid ravine]

im not sure if there is a "high end" for these type of keycaps but i will search a little bit more

[surreal linden]

👍

[harsh dove]

hmm, well they don't have to be side print but just some nice high end caps that you can recommend

[untold wigeon]

Ofc you have the creme a la creme which is krytox but it's fractional difference in my opinion

[fluid ravine]

gmk keycaps 😂

first thing when it comes to high end keycaps->GMK

[harsh dove]

[surreal linden]

bandaids?

[fluid ravine]

https://www.gmkkeycaps.com

heres a few i can find @harsh dove

[untold wigeon]

You can use them on the stabs (called holee mod) and yoy can use place them on the pcb as well under the stabs

Masking tape for the bottom of the pcb (tempest mod)

If you ever need any visual help search up what i put in brackets
