[sacred jay]

mine dont fade

i hit them with a massage gun and no fade

[untold wigeon]

how long have you had them?>

[sacred jay]

few months

[untold wigeon]

Also im finally done taping all my switches

ahh ok ok

well hopefully they dont fade

i think they have a year garranty for that

but after we are on our own

took me 2-3 hours

hows the pc plate?

worth the hype?

[dapper kernel]

Pc plate life changer

[untold wigeon]

How was the shipping?

It's an in-stock item right,m

[dapper kernel]

I think it’s pre order

[cyan adder]

@stray tiger @fluid ravine do I have to take a special polyfill that is protected against heat/fire ? I’ve found this, it’s for making toys for kids actually https://www.amazon.fr/Vaessen-Rembourrage-Polyester-Fabrication-Rembourrés/dp/B07N2543WJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=2NQ3KCSEIXPFW&keywords=rembourrage+polyester&qid=1698488557&sprefix=rembourrage+polyester%2Caps%2C80&sr=8-4

It’s typically for soft toys or pillow

[plush tendon]

I created a STP file of the silicon piece that connects the strap to the keyboard. The reason is I will be making a custom strap and I want a custom colored silicon piece as well.

Sharing incase anyone else wants to do something with it.

[plush tendon]

Unfortunately I still can't properly decipher what
2x Binding post M2.5x2 set for silicone attachment
means. Usually M means in mm, but that's waaaay too small for the actual binding post sizing. SO I dunno what to order -_-

[untold wigeon]

The “M” designation for metric screws indicates the outer diameter of the screw in millimetres, so for an M2 screw, the outer diameter is 2mm.

[plush tendon]

oh oh, like the barrel outer diameter?

[untold wigeon]

Barrel?

The width of the screw

[plush tendon]

ok yes, tjat makes sense

but 2.5mm for length?

that jut doesn't seem right

[untold wigeon]

Yes

[plush tendon]

2.5mm is soooo small though. lol.

I'll actually measure it in a bit but the length seems much closer to 2cm

[untold wigeon]

I’m sorry.

[plush tendon]

hahahaahahaha ... 😦

[untold wigeon]

Haha they are tiny screws though. I’m assuming

[plush tendon]

Yeah, definitely tiny, but 2mm is like.... barely visible

something seems off about it

i dunno my cat is on my lap otherwise i would just measure it right now

[untold wigeon]

2.5 width, 2mm length

Send a picture of the screw

[plush tendon]

ok screw it one sec

(pun intended?)

Yeah a cm in length.

Lighting is terrible. My bad.

[untold wigeon]

M2 screws are typically used in the manufacture of small items of electrical equipment, laptops, cameras and mobile phones. The “M” designation for metric screws indicates the outer diameter of the screw in millimetres, so for an M2 screw, the outer diameter is 2mm. However, in practice the actual diameter might be between 1.9mm-2mm due to manufacturing tolerances.
The standard pitch (distance between the threads) on an M2 is 0.4mm however we can offer non-standard pitches to order.
Each screw size is described using two numbers – the ‘M’ number and a number indicating the length of the shank, in mm, so M2 screw dimensions of M2 x8, are 8mm long, measured under the screw head.

[cunning cove]

does anyone have a screwdriver recemdation for keyboard moding?

planning on case swapping my 60he to alumaze when they arrive, first time doing a mod. So excited 😄

[untold wigeon]

[silent sluice]

guys what can you do with the wooting 60he og case after swap the pcb to a aluminum case.

yikes

[quiet bay]

If u ever get the module u can out it in that case :v

[untold wigeon]

lmao

Does anyone know If the pc plates are in stock or is it batches as well

[quiet bay]

Batches

[spice herald]

I think my Alumaze is going to be delivered in a couple hours 👀

It’s already at the sorting center in my town, they open in about thirty minutes

[cunning cove]

What colour?

[spice herald]

Got the black one - not a fan of the concrete personally

[untold wigeon]

i got the concrete gray

i think it looks like

and the take control coiled cable

[fluid onyx]

You in LA?

[spice herald]

Nah Fort Myers, FL.

[fluid onyx]

I live in San Diego going to get mine on Monday… got the black as well

Oh shesh

[spice herald]

Yeah got expedited shipping and it was fast as hell

[fluid onyx]

Nice shipping time then they hooked you up on a Saturday

Yah idk what I got but whatever it’s too late now

Sweet man good looks

[spice herald]

Damn yeah I’m hyped

[fluid onyx]

Still waiting for my Finalmouse ULX

[untold wigeon]

me too

[fluid onyx]

The gold on it will match the alumaze gold accent piece

[untold wigeon]

W

[spice herald]

I posted it yesterday but this is the look I’m going with as of now for my build

Helllllll yeah

[quiet bay]

We need a photo once u get it 👀

[spice herald]

You already know

I’ll try and take some decent ones although I might need to compress them for Discord

[hollow nymph]

For those who curious about lubed wooting with o ring or poron le-20 foam

maybe with tape mod

[cunning cove]

I just ordered the black, however it will prob get here before my 60he (had shipping problems due to stupid courier)

Also Orlando #FloridaGang

[spice herald]

Ayyy

Yeah I saw your message about the courier - they’re really a pain in the ass to deal with

I tried to call Fedex to see if I could just go and pick the package up since it says it’s still at the sorting facility and literally cannot get in touch with an actual human

[fluid ravine]

normal polyfill works fine
understand the concern of the fire hazard but seems like theres no problem with it so far

the thing you want to mainly avoid when using polyfill is battery like in a wireless board

[stray tiger]

Polyfill by default is fire-resistant. It's used in stuffed animals and pillows/blankets for that reason primarily.

[cunning cove]

I did that with UPS with my PC 🤣🤣 but I had to pay $7 for them to hold it there.

[stray tiger]

From the fire fighter website - Polyfill is a synthetic material that is commonly used for insulation and cushioning. It is highly flame-resistant and can withstand intense heat without burning. It is also non-toxic and does not emit harmful chemicals when burned.

[cunning cove]

Also do people use the included foam with Alumaze or the foam from the stock 60he?

[spice herald]

Lol if it meant I could just have it today I’d be more than happy paying that

The Alumaze comes with specific foam built for it so I am guessing people will use that unless they have other materials

[stray tiger]

Use the Alumaze foam

[cyan adder]

So u confirm me this should be fine ? https://www.amazon.fr/Vaessen-Rembourrage-Polyester-Fabrication-Rembourrés/dp/B07N2543WJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=2NQ3KCSEIXPFW&keywords=rembourrage+polyester&qid=1698488557&sprefix=rembourrage+polyester%2Caps%2C80&sr=8-4

[fluid ravine]

yes 👍

[cyan adder]

Letsgooo

Bro my wooting is so expensive right now, over 400€ 🙃🙃🙃

Definitely wanna go for the switch tape mod but as I’m not fluent in English I don’t understand all the explanations correctly

[cunning cove]

What all did you do to it

[fluid ravine]

4 HUNDO DAMN

[spice herald]

Just the wooting and the alumaze comes out to over 300 USD - mine is going to be over 500 USD by the time I’m done with it. I’ll use it every single day though so I can justify it

[fluid ravine]

spent like around 200 for like mods and shi

holy

i could never

[spice herald]

500 USD for a high quality custom isn’t too out of pocket though

[cyan adder]

Pc plate
Tofu60 redux gray
Brass weight bar
Keycaps
Lube + oil
Gummy o ring (in transit)
Polyfill (in transit)
Tape mod
Films + pcb pads + plate pad (in transit)
Keyboard mat (65% at home, 60% in transit)
Stabilizers pad (in transit)
Dielectric grease (in transit)
2048 keycaps set to swap when I’m in the Pc keycaps mood

Will add to that switch tape mod then I’m done I think

Already close to the perfect sound I’m looking for

My lube has break in yesterday, clearly thocky

Idk how to justify it to my wife actually

I just told her that she spends 10x more on bags and shoes

So

[spice herald]

You’re a very courageous individual

[fluid ravine]

holy-

[cyan adder]

She can’t understand actually the keyboard enthousiat thing

[spice herald]

It’s a hobby hahahaha

[cyan adder]

She said that no one is going to see my keyboard, nothing to flex for actually, and I’m the only one hearing it anyway

[fluid ravine]

lmao

[spice herald]

Trying to explain a hobby to someone is an endless pit most of the time

Treat yo self

[fluid ravine]

man i gotta treat myself

into some keycaps

heh

[spice herald]

might as well if you put a ton of hours into making it perfect anyway

[fluid ravine]

yes

now keycaps

time to go shopping

uh

holdup lemme check

[spice herald]

I can def recommend pbtfans key caps

[fluid ravine]

i mean yeah tirade did say every color goes well with gray soo

just gotta find good looking keycaps ig

or good keycaps in general

that are not like some 50$ set coming from best buy

im looking at you gmmk 👀

very very very greatful

always will be

[cunning cove]

I guess I might as well tape mod since I’m case swapping anyways

[fluid ravine]

oh boi

show us once you install

pochizo recommended me BOG

https://dangkeebs.com/products/wuque-studio-cthulhu-keycaps?variant=44003884826845

[fluid ravine]

^^

Like PBTfans BOG but with russian

or whateever the fuck iit is

ya

PBTfans BOG is out of stock

for the base kit

https://pbt.fans/products/pbtfans-soul-blossom

thats nice

[verbal folio]

got it finally

maybe in january i'll get the alumaze

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

👏 congrats

now time for modding
gl

[harsh dove]

I ended up getting some GMK Deepwells, an aluminum case and plate kit

[cunning cove]

Wait

How do you get the discount if you bought the 60he on Alumaze

[normal schooner]

in the hub

[cunning cove]

Where?

Not much on the hub

[polar girder]

I have a spare BoG set @fluid ravine

No subs tho

[fluid ravine]

you got a photo

is it like textured?

or anything

[cunning cove]

😭

[harsh dove]

Rip

After jumping down the rabbit hole and spending hours looking at keycaps because of TenZ, this is what I settled on lol

[cunning cove]

Also does the TKL wrist rest fit the alumaze60 better than the 60% rest?

[polar girder]

@fluid ravine

[harsh dove]

I’m not sure, I just ordered my Alumaze @cunning cove

[polar girder]

KPRepublic set lower profile not cherry

VDA v2 I think

[harsh dove]

Those are nice bro, congrats

Oh this is that spare BOG set you were talkin about

[polar girder]

Yeah I ended up going side lit legends cuz I prefer it for my setup

I do like the low profile BoG tho and they have a nice texture

[wintry tendon]

Just installed the tofu60 redux

[untold wigeon]

Thinking of doing a burger mount but I need longer screws 🥲

[sage flicker]

anyone know if https://keebmat.com/products/thockrings works on lekker? anyone try?

[untold wigeon]

Pretty sure those are for topre boards

I don't see that working out

[sage flicker]

ok thanks, just wanted to know lol

Someone mentioned that o-rings 90A might be good for wooting keyboards, gonna see if I can find that on amazon.

[cyan adder]

do you know if instead of bandaids mod i can simply cut an extra switch pad i got to make it fits like a bandaid mod on stab place on pcb?

[civic holly]

Darker than I thought

[fluid ravine]

oh shi it is

[untold wigeon]

what color is that

[fluid ravine]

concrete gray

[untold wigeon]

damn in the pics it looked closer to white, but it makes sense it's right in the name

that gold accent isnt as annoying as I thought it'd be but I'll still paint mine black

[spice herald]

I’m about to throw hands with my local Fedex

Been sitting at the sort facility for 8+ hours now

[marble shuttle]

Show us case unboxing

[untold wigeon]

+asmr peel*

[sage flicker]

@floral vale i saw you mentioned 3 x 1.5mm o-rings but still having 2.0mm travel depth. How does that work out? 1.5mm x 3 = 4.5mm?

[civic holly]

All done

Don’t know about these keycaps

No sir

Just had extra but they might stay as extra

[untold wigeon]

this is one of those ''they had me in the first half'' moment

[harsh dove]

Has anyone tired these? And does anyone think they’d be better for burger mount than o-rings?

Okay, cause I seen someone say something about using post caps > o-rings but I couldn’t find “post caps”

[fringe torrent]

i have those they work ok

[cyan adder]

Got it, they work fine

[harsh dove]

Did either of you pair these with o-rings as well or just used the covers?

[cyan adder]

For the 2 standoffs (maybe 3 if u use the near spacebar one) it’s good

[fringe torrent]

no orings just straight on those covers

[cyan adder]

I put this on case side

[harsh dove]

Oh okay

[cyan adder]

And o ring in the screw

To make easier burger o ring mount

[harsh dove]

Right yeah that’s what I heard

[cyan adder]

U can use either doible o ring or 1 o ring 1 of these

Same result

[harsh dove]

Awesome, thank you both

[cyan adder]

It’s just easier to install with those

[harsh dove]

Right , yeah that’s what I was going for

[cunning cove]

Do you have the wooting wrist rest?

[civic holly]

@cunning cove nah

[cunning cove]

Damn wanna see how they look with it

[harsh dove]

Will any M2x5mm or M2x6mm mounting screws work ?

(Doing burger mount in alumaze case)

[cunning cove]

@harsh dove @mental hemlock you think the TKL wrist rest will work better than the 60% with Alumaze?

[harsh dove]

I’m not entirely sure tbh

I’ve yet to get hands on with my Alumaze

[cunning cove]

https://wooting.io/product/wooting-wrist-rest

[harsh dove]

Damn, tempted on getting a Wilba.Tech Salvation

[fringe torrent]

really nice case

[harsh dove]

Yeah, I'm considering it, Defintiely expensive.
I've already ordered an Alumaze so I'll try that first and might get a Salvation later

[harsh dove]

This yours?

[fringe torrent]

i also have an alumaze on order

[fringe torrent]

yep

[harsh dove]

Sexy

I thought about getting those keycaps

I got the GMK CYL Deepwells instead

[fringe torrent]

they look great with a dark grey tofu

[harsh dove]

Wow thats very nice and you got the Mk2

That mouse is crazy lol

[fringe torrent]

hibi june

[harsh dove]

That works pretty well too
I got the Concrete Gray Alumaze and then I was thinking the Textured White Salvation

I did see that the Concrete was darker in person than in photo

[fringe torrent]

im waiting for the concrete grey

[harsh dove]

Oh okay, yeah me too

[fringe torrent]

i did and it looks like it might match even better

[harsh dove]

Right, yeah. I like it

[cyan adder]

@stray tiger dielectric grease from super lube vs xht bdz? I can have those two for the same price

[lilac island]

looking very nice

[stray tiger]

Im a fan of the grease, especially because I can load it in a syringe too

[lilac island]

are there any hall effect switches that are heavier than the L60 ?

[normal schooner]

no but we are working on a spring pack

[lilac island]

oh nice that will be heavier than 60cN ?

i found that after lubing my switches it feels a bit lighter and i make a lot more mistakes typing now

[normal schooner]

thats all I know , wooting has not given details about it yet

[lilac island]

cheers look forward to it

in the meantime i might buy a set of L60 as I've opened and closed mine so many times the housing is a little loose

[void hollow]

should i even-

i lowkey don't wanna destroy the wooting foam by cutting it for the redux

[normal schooner]

its always good to have a cutting board with square brackets. but you dont need to bother. you can use the foam of the wooting with the redux.

[lilac island]

you can use the wooting foam I peeled off the top part of the wooting foam for my redux as it would have been too thick with both parts on

i then cut a thin strip from the top part to fill in the bottom as it didnt reach all the way

[dusky orchid]

Should i change my Klippe T for a Redux case or Is not worth It?

[polar girder]

If you separate the two layers you can slice the smaller layer to fit the recess. Then use the big piece for the case

[void hollow]

i did get the brass bar so should be fine?

[lilac island]

yeah i got the bras bar, you mean you wanted to fill that gap with foam ?, if you have the weight there is no need

[polar girder]

If brass bar then separate the two and cut nothing

[void hollow]

yeahh

[polar girder]

Only use the big piece

[void hollow]

but don't you need to cut out the holes for the screw mounts

[lilac island]

yeah you dont need to cut anything then

[lilac island]

no they fit perfectly

[void hollow]

oh? thats good to know then dangg HAHA

[lilac island]

just make sure to pull off the half piece of foam or use the foam that comes with the redux

[void hollow]

wait the redux comes with foam too-?

[lilac island]

hang on i watched a video of some guy called bad seed i will find it for you hes pulls the foam apart

[lilac island]

yeah its a thin foam

[lilac island]

here you go at around 1:50 watch from there for the foam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLhoW5R21_g

[polar girder]

Yeah the Wooting foam is two layers. One small one but. Can be separated

Kind of tough depending.

[void hollow]

alrighty, thanks so much for the info! :D

[lilac island]

no probs he has the old case but its similar

at 2:38 he shows the redux foam

[void hollow]

ahhh

[loud zephyr]

dayuumm

[loud zephyr]

From one wedge design to another, probably not worth unless you want a bit more weight

[stray tiger]

Would be a downgrade in quality (in my opinion) and no likely noticeable difference.

[surreal linden]

where do you guys buy your keycaps?

any good websites?

[loud zephyr]

Mostly local vendors, global shipping is just ass; Switchkeys and Dailyclack my favorites

[surreal linden]

o ok

ima take a look at those

[loud zephyr]

Try this list, maybe something in your region: https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[surreal linden]

they do international shipping right?

[surreal linden]

👍

[void hollow]

what does the container for the l45 70 pack even look like lmao

[surreal linden]

o i just got it yesterday

lemme show you

[void hollow]

thats a container-?

[surreal linden]

like the box?

or like the round thing inside?

[void hollow]

the round thing inside (you got me "wtf"ed for a moment pepelaugh)

[void hollow]

ahh it looks decent

[surreal linden]

ye

i need a switch puller

i forgot to buy that

so now im just waiting lmao

[void hollow]

LMAO

im just looking at kinetic labs now

those fancy shit really do get me interested, but im more likely to go for local stores since SHIPPING FEE

[surreal linden]

ikr

its like $30 everytime

[void hollow]

its ridiculous lmao

[surreal linden]

i dont think canada has any local stores for keycaps

so im kinda just screwed both ways

[void hollow]

im from singapore so i just looking through like "shopee", "lazada"

[surreal linden]

ahhh i see

[void hollow]

like im starting to feel like this is quite some money for my first custom keyboard lol

[harsh dove]

You're not alone, I haven't even had mine for one week and I've spent $700

[surreal linden]

181 for redux?

[void hollow]

+shipping

its in sgd just fyi

[surreal linden]

o i see

[surreal linden]

im canadian dollar lol

[void hollow]

oh

its equal

[surreal linden]

o

[harsh dove]

I'm USD lol

[surreal linden]

wait 181 cad too??

its gg

[void hollow]

LMAO ITS EQUAL

its 1:1.01

[harsh dove]

wow

[surreal linden]

damn

lmao

[harsh dove]

hilarious

[surreal linden]

1 cent higher

[loud zephyr]

Just buy more money

[void hollow]

oof moment

[surreal linden]

welp next time i go to singapore ik if something a scam or not

[void hollow]

frfr

singapore economy starting to be so inflated tbh

[harsh dove]

$24 shipping is crazy

[surreal linden]

yea lol

[untold wigeon]

I’ve spent like $400 on my build lol

[harsh dove]

Kono wanted me to pay $20 shipping for some $2 silicone stand off covers

I was like nope

[void hollow]

i hosted my own group buy with friends

[fallow hearth]

Tried checking aliexpress?

Kdbfans has their shop there

shipping is like $5

[void hollow]

didn't xD

[fallow hearth]

im looking to get the brass and shipping is about $3,70 for that item

dunno how much for all of those

[void hollow]

maybe i should check lmao

[harsh dove]

would def check, just found the standoff covers I wanted with $4 shipping

[void hollow]

holy fuck i wanna refund kbd official store now

[harsh dove]

Yeah lol

[fallow hearth]

shipping from ali is also great to my country at least

4 days and its here, from China

kinda crazy

[void hollow]

theres no price difference for me 💀

i guess i could preorder a POM plate for no absolute reason

[toxic light]

Is the tofu redux the best case to put the wooting 60he in

[fringe torrent]

no its just one of the cases that work with it

[toxic light]

Are the cases on wooting that they sell better or nah

[fringe torrent]

its all kinda down to personal preference

[void hollow]

nevermind, fuck you aliexpress xD

[keen prism]

both the redux & alumaze are good but we can't say one is objectively better

[toxic light]

I have a qk65 so I don’t rlly wanna upgrade the wooting cus it’s so much money but it’s probs gonna look so bad

[keen prism]

i wanted a qk but i never had money when they were running

[fringe torrent]

then you got ones like the fjell, salvation, june, klippet, mont 60 and so on

[keen prism]

but the cycle 7 came at the perfect time so I'm waiting on that now

[toxic light]

I got the 65 but I’m sad I didn’t wait for the 75 or 80 but it’s the best budget keyboard out there

[fringe torrent]

just use it as is ?

[keen prism]

i would have wanted the 80 but any would have made me happy

[toxic light]

The wooting?

[fringe torrent]

ye

[toxic light]

I just don’t like the look of normal keyboards

The plastic is so weird and it scratches so easily

[fringe torrent]

then be prepared to spend on upgrades

[toxic light]

Is there like any cheaper cases

Cus kbd fans costs a fortune

[lusty hull]

Most things that will scratch plastic will also scratch aluminum

[fringe torrent]

alumaze and tofu are prob the 2 cheapest mainstream ones

[toxic light]

Welp time to burn into my life savings

[keen prism]

probably

how much even is the tofu redux

[toxic light]

It’s like 80 but the shipping in tax is crazy

[fringe torrent]

https://mekanisk.com/products/fjell-keyboard-case-only

shipping is pretty cheap something like $24 for dhl

[keen prism]

kbdfans shipping is a bit expensive yeah

[toxic light]

Just a bit

[keen prism]

i remember for like even something light like keycaps it was near enough 40 or 50

didnt end up getting them for that exact reason

[toxic light]

Have they said anything bout releasing a wooting 75

[keen prism]

theres something between a 60 and full-size coming eventually

pretty sure it's not a tkl so 75 is the logical conclusion

[toxic light]

I might just wait for that and keep this one un upgraded

[keen prism]

damn kbdfans shipping for keycaps is only 20 now

[toxic light]

Cus 60 is so annoying to do daily work with

[keen prism]

i swear it was more before

[void hollow]

kineticlabs shipping is more expensive than wooting? wtf

[stray tiger]

I have a QK60 and it's one of my fav boards at any budget if we aren't talking gaming. Solid boards

[toxic light]

I played val for over a year with it lol

[quiet bay]

I’d love a qk65 or qk75

I love the look

[stray tiger]

I prefer 60's for size and sold off everything else except for a single 65. I am looking forward though to Wootings next board if its really a 75-80%

[void hollow]

holy f*ck

im gonna go get some sleep before i press the checkout button mindlessly

[keen prism]

the nutcracker switch opener

lets go

it's really not worth it unless you plan to open hundreds and hundreds of switches or have little finger dexterity honestly

because the little square ones you push on are 1/6 of the price

[void hollow]

frfr please knock some sense into me xD

[keen prism]

also if shipping is that much have you considered ordering from somewhere more local

or is that not possible

[toxic light]

Ye they hurt a bit tho

[keen prism]

yea my hand was dying after opening 70

[void hollow]

local don't really sell much

[keen prism]

looking forward to doing it again soon :D

bro deleted the messages

[void hollow]

LMAO, he saw that and deleted it

[keen prism]

real

[toxic light]

Also btw lube stations are useless

Like trust me

Their useless

[quiet bay]

Just do them one at a time like me :v

[keen prism]

it felt slower

i opened all and separated them out

so i could just grab a bottom housing, lube, get spring from the bag, get top stem, lube then get top housing

instead of taking apart an entire switch each time

[toxic light]

Why buy a 15 dollar container for switches when u can just go to a local store and buy a container that basically looks the same for half the price

[keen prism]

just use some old plastic containers you definitely will have lying about

[quiet bay]

I need to do it one at a time anyways cause I will definitely drop them

[keen prism]

valid

lubing doesnt help with not dropping them

i did drop a few after a while since i slowly got more and more on my fingers lol

got frustrating quick when i kept losing springs

they are the same colour as my carpet

[quiet bay]

Modifying stabs is the most messy for me lmao

All the grease gets on my fingers when I put the wires back in

[keen prism]

my spacebar is so bad but the rest were perfect first time

i just gave up

and yesh

i had dielectric grease everywhere

[toxic light]

Space bar takes forever

I re did mine like 8 times and I had to keep re opening the case cus I’m stupid

[keen prism]

doesn't help that im using mega cheap plate mount stabs

[burnt gust]

Anyone have a Double shot PBT pudding keycaps for the 60he that they recommend?

[loud zephyr]

save those coffee cups instead

[keen prism]

adding a coffee scent to your switches

genius

also browns in the coffee cup, fits well lol

[loud zephyr]

lol, it's actually how one of the stores here ships it, fits 90 switches or so

[keen prism]

pretty good

[hollow sand]

Should i go for a tofu 60 redux or alumaze 60? i have a 60 he just to clarify.

[surreal linden]

How much are keycaps typically?

Like good quality ones

I found ones I really like

But they are like $200 cad

And it’s from kbdfans

[loud zephyr]

up to you, dude. Alumaze at least has some effort put into its design

[proven tendon]

100

[atomic plaza]

Depend of your budget, preference of colors, shape, etc.. 😅

[surreal linden]

Like cad?

Or usd?

[normal schooner]

depending how much you like wooting

[civic plank]

Does anybody have the white Keycaps from Wooting?

[proven tendon]

usd

[surreal linden]

o

[normal schooner]

[surreal linden]

Would you say $145 is too much?

USD

[proven tendon]

if you like them then no

[surreal linden]

o ok

Ima get them then

[loud zephyr]

should be plenty in the gallery https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1070668460905988106

[surreal linden]

But the whole keyboard costing me a kidney rn 😭😭

[loud zephyr]

all good, just sell the other kidney

[surreal linden]

You right

[keen prism]

gmk keycaps can get super expensive

but in general

they're expensive regardless of what brand if they're decent

[surreal linden]

I saw some for like $300

Cad

That’s just gonna break the bank if I buy that

[loud zephyr]

just hang till black friday sales, lots of bargains from most keyboard stores

[surreal linden]

Also $30 for a desk mat isn’t bad right?

[surreal linden]

Oh it’s already on sale rn

That’s why I’m getting it

[proven tendon]

i spent 65 on an artisan pad so probably not

[surreal linden]

o ok

[keen prism]

spent 50 gbp on mine so

[surreal linden]

I don’t think tofu 60 is ever gonna be on sale

So I might as well get it now

[keen prism]

probably not

[surreal linden]

Well there goes $400

oh nvm

they are gmk

[fallow hearth]

I bought pbtfans for about $100usd

[surreal linden]

i see

idk if gmk is a good brand though

i dont know any keycap brands tbh

[loud zephyr]

Gmk will eventually shine if that bothers you. I say embrace it

[surreal linden]

o ok

investing into their stocks

[proven tendon]

epbt is cheaper

look at ebpt kuro its similar

[surreal linden]

i think i saw one but its more expensive

[surreal linden]

which one?

[proven tendon]

they dont have it on that website

[surreal linden]

oh i see

[proven tendon]

its enjoypbt or epbt

[surreal linden]

Omnitype is a good brand right?

[proven tendon]

no clue

[surreal linden]

oh

[keen prism]

omnitype is good yes

[surreal linden]

okok

ima get their deskmat

[naive grotto]

going off of this what exactly is the difference? i’m new to keyboard modding so not sure

[loud zephyr]

nothing like a dose of retail therapy

[surreal linden]

wait

does kbd not accept debt?

[proven tendon]

you just enter your card on the paypal checkout no?

[fallow hearth]

Yes

You dont need an account

[loud zephyr]

Tofu made by KBDfans and Alumaze is by Wooting. Different designs; pick your poison

[surreal linden]

yea i just found it lol

for a case itself

[loud zephyr]

welcome to the rabbit hole

https://tenor.com/tuSS.gif

[surreal linden]

are there any good coil cables on amazon?

or do i have to buy it off somewhere?

im not sure if this can work

[proven tendon]

if you plan to use tachyon mode it has to be a really high quality cable

[surreal linden]

what are some good brands i should find?

theres this too

cablemod

[proven tendon]

idk which coiled cables would actually meet the spec

wootings own cable does

[surreal linden]

oh

[proven tendon]

if you use it without tachyon i think any cable would work

[surreal linden]

o ok

i dont even use tachyon mode tbh

[naive grotto]

they just look different?

[surreal linden]

but idk this cable is good with a completely white build

do you think it can look good with an all white?

or stand out too much?

[quiet bay]

get a white cable

[surreal linden]

this standout out too much?

[surreal linden]

this looks good

but that galaxy blue looks great

but idk it can match all white

[loud zephyr]

Yes, but there's also difference in sound and material quality. Visual appeal is the obvious

[loud zephyr]

I'd go for thinner connectors, looks sleeker imo

https://www.amazon.com/CableMod-Artisan-Keyboard-Glacier-Slimline/dp/B0BRQMLBN3/ref=sr_1_9?crid=1NBXS30MAN38Y&keywords=lemo%2Bcoiled%2Bkeyboard&qid=1698538049&sprefix=lemo%2Bcoiled%2Bkeyboar%2Caps%2C254&sr=8-9&th=1

[surreal linden]

o ok

[surreal linden]

this one right?

im using the canadian amazon

[loud zephyr]

Yah

[surreal linden]

okok

why thinner though?

does it usually make it look better?

[loud zephyr]

just my personal preference, nothing wrong with bulky ends

[surreal linden]

i see

are there images to compare the 2 cables?

[loud zephyr]

Wait, that's the wrong one. The one I posted has connectors: CableMod Artisan Coiled. Sorry

[smoky pilot]

@harsh dove How long is the wait for the Alumaze?

[surreal linden]

o

[surreal linden]

uhhh

i dont think they sell them in canada

the first one is only galaxy blue

[loud zephyr]

A cheaper alternative which looks nice

https://www.amazon.ca/Keyboard-Double-Sleeved-Mechanical-Detachable-Aviator/dp/B09XQBKDWV/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2EYO3M41UB0Y4&keywords=slim%2Bcoiled%2Bcable%2Bkeyboard&qid=1698538616&sprefix=slicoiled%2Bcable%2Bkeyboard%2Caps%2C255&sr=8-7&th=1

[harsh dove]

Not sure, mine hasn't shipped yet, only placed the order last night

[spice herald]

got the switch tape I’m going to use

[quiet bay]

Have fun

Plot twist you're not gonna have fun

[spice herald]

FedEx just needs to get it together

if that shit is sitting there all day tomorrow ima be mad

[stray tiger]

Known issues with that cable and RGB at full levels.

[surreal linden]

o the brand?

or just that specific cable itself?

[stray tiger]

The cablemod classic cable (maybe even the exact style) was tested and had issues.

I've heard the cablemod pro line is better but haven't tested

[surreal linden]

i went to get this

so mayhbe gunmjo is better

i can still cancel this order

[loud zephyr]

are CableMod just not as good as they're made out to be, I've had 2x 12VHPWR cables that just could not feed enough juice to my GPU. Customer service 10/10 at least

[surreal linden]

ig ill just test this cable out for now

and then ill tell yall if its any good

since i can return this pretty easily

[loud zephyr]

just get the Wooting one, straight and coiled

[surreal linden]

shipping take 3 months and costss $30 💀

[loud zephyr]

rip in peace

[surreal linden]

o i think this is a review for the wooting

hold up

after looking at some reviews

this cable seems to be bricking pc

[quiet bay]

3 months is a stretch

[surreal linden]

yea its more like 1 month

[loud zephyr]

I haven't even tried to see if my cable has any affect on RBG or Tacyon, although I don't use either but kinda wild that not all cables play nice with the Wooting

[quiet bay]

I'm waiting for when wooting releases a white version

[untold wigeon]

[surreal linden]

fr

wait

if a cable bricks up a pcb

does wooting offer warranty?

even though the cable isnt theirs

[untold wigeon]

how is a cable gonna brick a pcb

[exotic plaza]

Idk how a cable even manages to do that

[surreal linden]

like it breaks it somehow

[exotic plaza]

More likely user error than the cable

[surreal linden]

o

[surreal linden]

im reading this

and if the wooting breaks

then its gg

[untold wigeon]

just order the cable from wooting

and take the L on the shipping

[surreal linden]

i already took 2 L from shipping 😭

[untold wigeon]

me too

[loud zephyr]

stock cable is goated, just use that for a while

[untold wigeon]

on a $350 kbd board, i paid $50 shipping and over 100 in customs fees

but hey atleast it shipped in 5 days

[surreal linden]

wait what

[untold wigeon]

yeah

kbdfans ships from china

[surreal linden]

my l45 took like a month

[surreal linden]

oh are you in north america?

[untold wigeon]

EU

[surreal linden]

o

in NA

but EU nevel

cause CA

[untold wigeon]

my 60he shipped in 5 weeks

with EU Nevel

my plate shipped with EU Plaat in 3 weeks

[surreal linden]

o so same times ig

[untold wigeon]

and my alumaze i ordered a few days ago so i'm gonna guess 2 weeks max

i ordered pbtfans wob from deltakeyco and after i ordered i just read that they aint shipping orders between 27th and 4th

[surreal linden]

also wooting doesnt havbe a white coiled cable

[untold wigeon]

fuckin halloween

honestly i hate white coiled cables

[surreal linden]

so if they dont then i might as well just use the stock cable

[untold wigeon]

i just use the long ass xbox elite usb c cable that came with my xbox elite v2 controller

works with tachyon too

[surreal linden]

wait what

i also have an xbox cable

[untold wigeon]

yeah

[surreal linden]

hold up

they actually work?

[untold wigeon]

yes it works 4 me

i hate the yellow accents on the stock cable so i just used that

[surreal linden]

o

my xbox controller is from razer

usb c though

[untold wigeon]

this is the one im on abt(the one that microsoft ships with the xbox elite 2 controller)

[surreal linden]

yea mine doesnt work

its like 10 feet long lmao

[exotic plaza]

I’m pretty sure I’ve spent 100$+ on kbdfans shipping fees

[untold wigeon]

welcome to the club

[fast sinew]

The build is finished

[exotic plaza]

If I had planned out my orders from the start and not split them up it would be a lot less

[surreal linden]

clean

[exotic plaza]

But I was not that smart

[untold wigeon]

did u get the brass plate for the tofu?

[surreal linden]

what cable brand?

[untold wigeon]

the cable is the stock cable that microsoft gives with the xbox elite v2 controller

its longer than 2 meters

[surreal linden]

o shoot i pinged wrong person lmao

[fast sinew]

Nope but should I? I have 4 lay tape mod, lubed switches, burger mount, and plastic plate with silicone, and stock wooting foam inside

[surreal linden]

what cable brand?

[untold wigeon]

if ur happy with how it sounds rn

no

if u have a bit of that hollow sound and u want it also heavier yes

i waited 3 monts for my black Redux+Brass to ship from keygem so i just said fuck you, cancelled and got the black alumaze but i will paint the brass bracket as i dont like that color

[fast sinew]

It's some random 12 dollar one on Amazon works perfectly

[surreal linden]

o i see

ok then cablemod has to work for me

cause thats 70

[fast sinew]

I'll do a sound video in abit if ya'll are curious for sound

[untold wigeon]

i also have $2 2 meter cable and tachyon works with it

[surreal linden]

sure

ill hear it

[fast sinew]

I can send you the link too

[surreal linden]

ok

[untold wigeon]

ye for sure

[surreal linden]

i wanna see it

[untold wigeon]

badseeds sound test with the brass weight i didnt like at all

the sound test from the swapping plate tutorial, i think sanders did it was almost perfect

that one with the alumaze

[surreal linden]

would you say steel plate is good enough?

or a PC is worth it?

[untold wigeon]

i have both, in the plastic case to me the steel sounds way better for alphas but worse for mods

[surreal linden]

i see

[untold wigeon]

if u swap cases yes

if not prob not

[surreal linden]

ima just keep the steel one

i was thinking of pc

[untold wigeon]

for me it brings out that hollowness and the magnet hitting the pcb is way more obvious with the PC plate vs steel

the spacebar and the other stabs do sound way better on the pc plate

[fast sinew]

Yeah for me I have the plastic plate and silicone from wooting and it sounded deeper to me

[untold wigeon]

it did, i tried with the silicone pad, nothing and the normal foam

they all sounded worse than the steel in the original case except for stabs

ofc the pc plate will be nicer to type on feel wise, the steel is very stiff

[fast sinew]

Oh for the original wooting case?

[untold wigeon]

yah

[fast sinew]

Ah yeah I case swapped as quick as I could

[untold wigeon]

if u do that its prob worth it

idk as i didnt case swap yet

[fast sinew]

Yeah I have a tofu redux (with no brass) and the official wooting plastic plate and silicone and it atleast for me removed those higher frequencys

[untold wigeon]

u should try the brass weight too if u feel it a bit hollow

it makes a huge difference

[fast sinew]

I might check it out but like I said in a little bit I'll do a sound,

Just in a csgo casual match atm

[untold wigeon]

make sure to win, then flex ur keyboard on them

after you do that, drop the sound test

[fast sinew]

👍

Sound test, just did it the old video camera way

[untold wigeon]

that spacebar needs a bit of love

[fast sinew]

i just have some space bar foam in it

Other than lubed switches that's it

[untold wigeon]

i meant like you need to maybe relube the stab

or it also could be the foam in the spacebar making that weird scratchy sound

but if u like it keep it

[fast sinew]

i think i know what it is

since the stabs have a box around them, this spacebar used to be on a keychron v2 with bare stabs with no boxes on the sides

its probably the foam pushing into the square stabs and grinding

[stray tiger]

You gotta step up that CS2 ranking

[untold wigeon]

🙏

[fast sinew]

ah hell nah i aint touching comp in this state lol

i gave up that life

[cyan summit]

btw I messaged you about my stabs a week ago or so and managed to fix it by drowning them in grease

even my plate is full with lube everything

[stray tiger]

A good grease job on the wire solves 90% of the issues

[cyan summit]

I think the problem is the wire, I really tried tuning them as good as possible but the wire goes up after the 90 degree angle

its on both sides

and I have no clue how to fix it on both sides since you can't just tune both sides at once

[stray tiger]

If they go up on both sides at the same time then there may be a slight bow in the middle of the wire (or your surface isnt entirely flat)

[cyan summit]

unfortunately not, I did it on my phone screen and I could see under the wire when lightning from the other side and its not a bow or so its straight

whatever, it sounds alright now

[untold wigeon]

ye thats what i did with my spacebar, the only way to fix the ticking was to just drown the wire in grease

the rest of my stabs didnt need that and they sound better with kbdfans bandaid mod under all of them but the spacebar as it made it mushier

[cyan summit]

yeah I see for me its my rshift stab

[cyan summit]

whats weird is, when I got the board with stock stabs, no one was ticking and then lubed all switches & relubed stabs and got ticking, and I was like how tf

[untold wigeon]

that one is a funny one for me

it rattles and ticks with the stock wooting keycap on it, but with a pbtfans wob keycap it sounds perfect

i checked and the keycap isnt bent

[cyan summit]

lmao

[untold wigeon]

yeah it took me 2 hours to go hmm ye lets try another keycap

and that fixed it

i think this is karma for shittalking right shift that isn't split for a long time

i never understood the purpose of a full right shift

it looks cleaner however

[cyan summit]

I have never used rshift in my life

I always use left

[untold wigeon]

same

i just made them arrow keys

same goes for the bottom right 3 keys

and the rest of the shit i use is on Fn1

[cyan summit]

for what do you use modtap, its such a nice feature but I havent found a use for it

[untold wigeon]

for mute audio and pause song

[stray tiger]

One of my favorite keeb streamers often says that the majority of ticking occurs at the stem and he suggests that if you have done a good job lubing/greasing and your wire is pretty straight, he suggests taking a small piece of saran/plastic wrap cut into a square and placing it over ths stem before you put your keycap on. He believes that improper keycap fit is a common occurrence.

[untold wigeon]

isnt that what alexotos suggested?

[cyan summit]

so that piece goes between keycap and stem?

[stray tiger]

Thats the streamer Im referring to

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

[untold wigeon]

yeah i saw that

that fixed it on my tofu

but it made the keycap extremely hard to take off

and im case swapping and keycap changing soon

so i just left it as is for now

[stray tiger]

My personal trick of the trade is I use putty like this inside my spacebars often times. https://www.amazon.com/Quakehold-88111-Museum-Putty-Neutral/dp/B0002VA9NA

I like it significantly better than foam IMHO and its much cheaper

[untold wigeon]

the spacebar sounds pretty good to me tbh, unironically i like it a lot

i like that poppy ass sound when u press it a lot in the stock case with the steel plate

[stray tiger]

How long have I been using this stuff for rattling spacebars might you ask?

[untold wigeon]

oh i got into custom keyboards in 2019

but thats a long time

glad it worked and i'll get smth similar if my new keycaps have issues

[untold wigeon]

and will try this too

also alexotos's streams are insane

he builds keyboard like a god lmao

[stray tiger]

He is one of less than a handful that I'll watch. Like me he takes no nonsense approach to modding, believes less is more, doesnt hype up expensive products when cheaper ones work perfectly and encourages people to spend wisely. Plus he is just an all around solid dude.

[untold wigeon]

yes i agree

my backspace for example sounds better with just a slight dyalectric coating on the wire and 3204 on the housing+stem than fully dipped and housings overlubed

[cyan summit]

damn, I just changed my rshift keycap aswell and it removed some ticking aswell

[untold wigeon]

😭

[cyan summit]

redicilous

I never thought about that

[untold wigeon]

im telling u its because u hate the right shift or never use it

its karma

[cyan summit]

how would it know

[untold wigeon]

idk

the same way youtube gives me ads abt food i ordered on a completely different site and device

[cyan summit]

I actually was thinking about other keycaps since they are really cheap pbt, rgb is shining through even with a graphic on so its painted on top

[untold wigeon]

oh

[cyan summit]

I just hate iso..

you can't find any good keycaps

[untold wigeon]

i got pbtfans wob(80 eur from deltakeyco), since i owned a version of them b4 and liked them

good keycap sets have support for that

the one i have supports HHKB,7U, 40%,60-65-75-1800 and full size

@cyan summit

thats the "base kit"

theres ur split left shit for ISO

[cyan summit]

ah yeah I see, but since I am using de layout my Y key is twisted with Z so you know its awkward

[untold wigeon]

oh

[cyan summit]

I would need like a international kit ive seen for some

and thats about 30 on top

[untold wigeon]

yeah this one has it too

keycaps are really expensive

[cyan summit]

yeah I see

where you from?

[untold wigeon]

Romania

[cyan summit]

how long did shipping take?

[untold wigeon]

for the keycaps they didnt ship yet

cuz of this

[cyan summit]

oh

[untold wigeon]

it says 3-5 working days if u pay 20 for shipping using UPS

or 10 for a weird french postal service

but 5-7 days

[cyan summit]

do you use the stock case?

[untold wigeon]

right now yes

lubed switches, lubed stabs

thats abt it

it sounds similar to the lubed 60he in the earlier videos on the wooting channel

https://youtu.be/2GJEyTl2aNY

[cyan summit]

where are they located?

deltakey

[untold wigeon]

https://youtu.be/2GJEyTl2aNY?t=152 2:32

[untold wigeon]

france i think

its for sure EU tho

[cyan summit]

yeah very similar to mine aswell

[untold wigeon]

considering ur in an alu case thats a bit sus

but idk i never case swapped so i wouldnt know

[cyan summit]

I may buy a redux but I am not sure if I would like it

[untold wigeon]

which case do u have rn

[cyan summit]

stock

[untold wigeon]

https://youtu.be/jLhoW5R21_g?t=134 check 2:14

it gives u 2 sound tests but with brass weight

1 foam 1 no foam

i hate both

https://youtu.be/XkosHUBUrdI?t=295 4:55 this one sounds perfect to me almost

i already have the plate but dislike it in the stock case, and the alumaze is shipping soon

[cyan summit]

yeah thats like 10/10 for my ears, pc plate not available for iso yet

[untold wigeon]

i'd vibe with iso if it lacked split left shift

to me thats a crime

[cyan summit]

alumaze looks so clean aswell with the strap integrated with the case

[untold wigeon]

i dislike the strap so won't do that and will paint the brass insert to black

outside of that it will be perfect

@cyan summit btw did u flip the switches when u changed out the keycaps?

if u have like a custom set that is

[cyan summit]

you mean south facing

no I am using them north

[untold wigeon]

yah

[stoic seal]

Will they ever fix the chattery sound on the lekker switches so that I don't have to?

[void hollow]

maybe

[elder obsidian]

tape mod any one?

[fluid ravine]

#1166204178759176283 message

Well possibility

They could make like a lekker 2.0

I think tirade said something about it
If they were tho, pray that they fix it lol

[untold wigeon]

new switches to lube

👍

i hope they close off the switch

[stoic seal]

honestlt, should i just get the gateron ks20 white switches instead?

they're on amazon, will ship faster and are white, which will make my already bright wooting brighter

like

istg

my wooting is brighter than my future

and thats saying something

[lusty hull]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[untold wigeon]

what

[lusty hull]

Painting the insert

[untold wigeon]

whats the problem

[lusty hull]

Just get tofu redux at that point

[untold wigeon]

no

i tried that

[lusty hull]

What's wrong with it

[untold wigeon]

after 3 months from keygem nothing and no ordering from kbd isnt an option

and i dont like how it sounds

[lusty hull]

Is there even an alumaze sound test out yet

[untold wigeon]

yes

[untold wigeon]

here

[lusty hull]

Oh in the PC plate vid

[onyx pier]

My wooting 60he in cerakeys,pc plate,tofu 60 redux

[untold wigeon]

brother

clean that shit up

[lusty hull]

I see

[untold wigeon]

this isnt ideal either. Comparing badseeds sound test with this one, but at the moment can't do much

also the alumaze has adjustable typing angle, better coating for sure and doesnt take months to arrived

[onyx pier]

HAHAHA yes i was cleaning everything up its only been a few days and the dust is already like this

[untold wigeon]

thats why u dont get black furniture

talking from experience

[fluid ravine]

im home

finally

what we talking about

[onyx pier]

Yea i realise after getting it but owells still like black tho just have to clean everyday

[untold wigeon]

i switched from black to walnut

massive upgrade

pc on desk is also a bad idea

[onyx pier]

My country sells wooden table but is hella expensive

But the quality is good

[untold wigeon]

how much

[onyx pier]

700usd

[untold wigeon]

600$ of that is the motor in the standing legs 100%

[onyx pier]

Yea

[untold wigeon]

do what i did, get a top and buy seperate legs

or wallmount ur desk

[onyx pier]

How much is your top

[untold wigeon]

its from ikea and it was 250 eur

i'd prob recommend looking at the idasen

not mine

[dapper kernel]

[void hollow]

wtf

I got my omnidesk x brown walnut tabletop mod for 600 sgd

[onyx pier]

Isit ergonomic

[void hollow]

what do you mean-?

600sgd - dual motor adjustable table from 75cm height, brown walnut tabletop 2.5cm thick, comes with cable tray management bracket, sturdy af

[void hollow]

400sgd is in that of the legs

[onyx pier]

Wait what 600sgd?!

Thats cheap

Did you buy when there is expo sale or smth

[void hollow]

nope, they're almost always on sale

its an XL table anyways

186cm x 60+cm

[feral jacinth]

hey guys, probably a silly question but thought i'd ask anyways just in case - i ordered the ISO version of the wooting and i was just wondering if i'd ever want to change the case to something like a tofu would it still work/fit with the ISO version? or if there's any structural changes between ANSI and ISO besides the different shapes of some keys that wouldn't allow me to chang to a different case that's compatible with the wooting.

[stray tiger]

It would work fine

[feral jacinth]

cheers man, thanks!

[sage flicker]

so there was an article stating that o-rings don't change travel distance, but I feel they do. Just tried it with 40A .4mm blue o-rings. They raise the keycap yes, but also lower the travel distance.

[spice herald]

Just noticed my delivery has a week day specific delivery requested under special instructions

[lunar sand]

Installed Poseidon case I ordered months ago along side with some everglide pandas v3 holy modded and lubbed with dielectric grease and did 3 layer tapemod. Also installed some@muted keycaps. All this because I couldn’t buy the alumaze 🤣 the keycaps I may have to think on changing them.

the sound is pretty good now ... Also ordered some gateron's KS-20 clears to try out ... did not lube the switches because first i want to try out the gateron's and only then ill decide on what to keep 😄
The Poseidon case is really good for the price, although the silver was meh ... wanted something with a different colour both some months ago there was no option for that because everything was out of stock.

[loud zephyr]

lose the accents and we can be bros

[fallow hearth]

what deskmat is that

looks funky

Mess up dinner, Boom by Swagkeys

I’d have mine if Wooting didn’t tell FedEx to only deliver mine on weekdays 😭

[cunning cove]

dont worry im in the same boat brother, #ShippingProblems!

[void python]

Which color did you all order? I went with grey.

[patent cradle]

Mine is about 50m-1h away from me, but scheduled to deliver tomorrow. Rip the dream.

[harsh dove]

Went with Concrete Gray as well

[spice herald]

@cunning cove and I got the just black - I personally went with the black one because I don’t like light peripherals for my setup

[harsh dove]

I was gonna buy the black one as well tbh in case I end up not liking the gray, I also got some GMK Sumi keycaps to go with

[void python]

I have the white Wooting caps ready to go on when my (grey) case gets here. My speakers & sub are white so I figured this would be a cool way to add some more contrast.

[cunning cove]

Looks like you’re ready to rock n roll

Wish they could get to my email today so I can order the alumaze 😭

[harsh dove]

Bro really wants his Alumaze lol

[cunning cove]

Yeah fam

[crimson crown]

got the keycaps that are gonna go in my 60HE when it arrives next month

mainly got em for the stealth rgb legends

[polar girder]

Damn that’s fire. Where’d you get those?

[lunar sand]

who already tried the PC plate? what to expect in terms of typing feel and noise vs the steel one? I checked that KBDFans has the FR4 that got my attention too...

[crimson crown]

just off of amazon

[stray tiger]

The KBDfans plate has flex cuts in it which is considered bad in terms of the way that the 60HE measures switch movement

[void python]

I've installed mine using the silicone pad instead of the foam and love it.

I can't say how much of a difference that alone made as I took the time to lube my switches while everything was out.

[verbal folio]

what are these called? look fire

[void python]

Definitely quiet and smooth with all of the above, though.

[crimson crown]

think theyre like called wave of kanagawa or smth like that

apparently theyre made by womier just under one of their sub-brands

i cant tell if theyre a clone or original though
