Damn that link lol

But anyways, these seem cool

[cyan adder]

Aren’t you going too far in the inside of the housing ??

I thought it might be cut shorter

[quiet bay]

Its fine

[gaunt linden]

Thank you so much ! What tape you using ?

[quiet bay]

Nexcare gentle paper tape

You can do this mod 1, 2, or 3 layers with this tape

[harsh dove]

That’s funny lol, I was planning to use moleskin or keebtape

[gaunt linden]

That would be too tideous for 3 layers lol

[quiet bay]

Recommended is 2 layers xd

[cyan adder]

Well my keeptape is on Paris airport, I’ll give you a sound test asap as I receive it !

[gaunt linden]

Does it feel smooth? Or same but just not chattery?

[quiet bay]

3 is if u want even less upstroke sound

[harsh dove]

Most likely moleskin for that deeper thocc tho

[quiet bay]

Same but not chattery

Just make sure the tape is FLAT

[gaunt linden]

Perfect! Thank you

[harsh dove]

Sweet, would be great, thanks

[quiet bay]

Or else there will be a bumpy feeling

[gaunt linden]

Wym

[quiet bay]

Kinda like a tactile

[gaunt linden]

A ok got it

Thank you alot

[quiet bay]

Np

I will try to make a better recording in the future

The quality is trash

Goofy iphone X camera

[gaunt linden]

Lol id apreciate it

[fluid ravine]

bro what if i make my wooting like a clack build

like alexotos

lol

[proven tendon]

My alumaze is coming tomorrow

[fluid ravine]

wwwww

what color did you order

[proven tendon]

Concrete

[fluid ravine]

good pick

[velvet egret]

Thanks for the video @quiet bay

[quiet bay]

Yeah np but its trash quality so gl lol

[velvet egret]

think of it this way YOU got the first video of doing it 😉

[fluid ravine]

should i be changing something ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[velvet egret]

the video gets the job done. Just couldnt quite see where the tape end on the inside of switch

[fluid ravine]

idk if i put too much polyfill

[velvet egret]

haha sticky keys XD

[cyan summit]

lmaooo sticky keys

[fluid ravine]

lol

[velvet egret]

the bottom row sounds so different

[cyan summit]

peep

[fluid ravine]

like the alt and fn keys

[cyan summit]

back then in minecraft when you spammed shift

[fluid ravine]

haha

no roblox

[velvet egret]

yeah.

[fluid ravine]

it suppose to

its normal

those keys are on the outside so they sound different than alphas

[cyan adder]

Ok : 14 switches in 40 min

[fluid ravine]

interesting

quicker than me

ok

[velvet egret]

Ah okay good to know

[fluid ravine]

ima take out the module

[cyan summit]

the key next to the right alt sounded like it has too many switch tape layers

[fluid ravine]

gonna think about that to do

[fluid ravine]

no no

actually yesterday when i pressed it

[velvet egret]

im gathering as much info as i can while i wait for the module

[fluid ravine]

it sounded like pure spring

something was wrong with it

i dont know what or how but that shit was pure spring

thats why i was pointing at it

[cyan summit]

did u lube your springs with gpl105 or krytox?

[fluid ravine]

krytox

6 times

and 2 times with another lube

build still in a work of progress

but its what i can do for now

[cyan summit]

do you have 105?

[fluid ravine]

nope

[velvet egret]

wip!? what else will be planning to do to it?

[fluid ravine]

buying new keycaps

but like mods

i have no clue

[cyan summit]

hmm, I had springs with krytox aswell and when I relubed them with 105 2 days ago it even improved the sound more than it was already

but not sure if that would help in your case

[fluid ravine]

105 is thinner than 205

but i relubed these switches over months

[velvet egret]

What kind of keycaps are you looking at getting?

[fluid ravine]

cus idk some mods over time like make it sound like pure stock

[fluid ravine]

oo

lemme find it

https://cannonkeys.com/products/nicepbt-blanks

these

very cheap but also extremely good from looking at the specs

[velvet egret]

oh nice, fully blank keycaps

[fluid ravine]

PBT
1.7mm

[velvet egret]

^ yeah just read that

thats thiccckk

[fluid ravine]

cherry

for $35??

thats crazy

[velvet egret]

Yeah good price

[fluid ravine]

honestly so down to get this

not even like amazon keycaps

random vendors

[velvet egret]

Very nice.

[fluid ravine]

honestly

[velvet egret]

Unfortunate for me when this chat is booming with convos im fast asleep. Chat always popping from like 1 am to 5 am

[fluid ravine]

what time is it for you rn

[velvet egret]

23:19pm

Running on CET.

[cyan summit]

I just found out that omnipoints from steelseries are compatible with the 60he

[fluid ravine]

they're not?

proof?

[cyan summit]

sure 1 sec

springs even have same dimensions

so you can springswap

cuz they are lighter aswell, 45cn

[fluid ravine]

wait whataa

i thought omni has switch stems

[cyan summit]

I want to springswap them but damn I need to desolder 70 switches

[velvet egret]

0.0

[cyan summit]

I think you can legit swap all pieces

bottom housing and so on I will try rn

NAH

steelseries top housing is thight as fuck on wooting bottom housing

[harsh dove]

I was gonna say, I have an APEX PRO TKL

And was gonna say it won’t work lol

[cyan summit]

it has 0 wobble like 0000

since steelseries added their rapid trigger feature, i was thinking like technically its the same thing, so they MAY work? and yes they do

[untold wigeon]

wait so u just took the steelseries top and put it on the wooting bottom?

[cyan summit]

yes

and its fitting 10/10

[untold wigeon]

the stem too?

[cyan summit]

yes everything

[untold wigeon]

lol

[harsh dove]

Sus

[untold wigeon]

i mean the steelseries is cheap isnt it so ig frankensteining this isnt a bad idea

especially if it reduces wobble

did u lube that bitch up?

[harsh dove]

Personally I wouldn’t wanna do that

Especially since they’re soldered

Fuck that

[cyan summit]

I had the L60 fully lubed, just popped it up and replaced top housing thats it

[untold wigeon]

just remove them with force

[untold wigeon]

whats the sound and feel diff

[cyan summit]

bottom out def sounds bit different

feel nothing changed so far

its legit like a stone

I cant wiggle the top housing

[harsh dove]

Depends on which one you get but iirc their apex pro series boards are almost $200

The ones that have Omni point switches

[untold wigeon]

$200 is nothing rlly for me

[cyan summit]

I am honestly thinking to swap spring and top housing

[untold wigeon]

if the difference is almost zero

dont

[harsh dove]

Right

[cyan summit]

I mean, you def feel the lighter springs

[untold wigeon]

i'll see how it sounds in the alumaze with the new foam and stuff

[harsh dove]

Yeah the springs seems viable if you don’t wanna buy L45s

[untold wigeon]

if i dont like it, i'll just order holy pandas and a mode envoy and build a new custom

[harsh dove]

Just swap out the stock 60s for the 45s

[untold wigeon]

for my day to day non gaming keyboard

im used to 70-80s for springs

60 is pretty light for me

i wouldnt mind smth like a Lekker 70 coming out

[harsh dove]

And I wouldn’t spend $200 just to Frankenstein some top housings and springs from another board lol

[untold wigeon]

if they made a huge difference it'd be worth it to me

but i doubt it does

[harsh dove]

If you already own it that’s different but solely spending $200 just to rip parts out then idk about that lol

[untold wigeon]

oh i did worse dw

[harsh dove]

I’ve done worse with my own PC but not keyboards yet lol

[quiet bay]

buy me another wooting 🤣

[untold wigeon]

what will u do for me

[quiet bay]

nothing

[untold wigeon]

then u aint gettin shit

[quiet bay]

it was a joke 😔

[untold wigeon]

🗿

@quiet bay nice pfp tbh

[quiet bay]

tyty

unoriginal tho took it off the internet

[untold wigeon]

👍

stealing is key

[cyan summit]

omnipoints are made by gateron aswell, that might be why they fit

[untold wigeon]

they fight huh

[cyan summit]

SHHH

[untold wigeon]

lmao

[cyan summit]

I..

misstyped

fighting switches

[untold wigeon]

if switches fight the holy pandas would win

[normal schooner]

[fluid ravine]

No case foam

man this shit stiff as hell

its bit hollow but i dont think my phone got that

[quiet bay]

it now sounds more metallic

[static tendon]

Would wooting ever release a tactile version of the lekkar switch? Perhaps having some sort of vibration feedback or something?

[bronze grove]

Vibrating... mechanical switches.

[untold wigeon]

just get a vibrator man

[quiet bay]

I feel like making it tactile would defeat the purpose of being a gaming keyboard

and kinda make hall effect more uhm

irrelevant but still works

[cyan adder]

Well I got interrupted by kids rip but I’ve did 30 switches tape mod. Half way

Sorry for phone (iPhone XS) mic

[cyan summit]

I hear kinda mushyness but im not sure if thats lube

[untold wigeon]

why does every single switch sound different lol

[cyan adder]

Idk I think it’s the microphone xD

[untold wigeon]

thats a huge difference for the mic to make

[cyan summit]

did u lube your springs?

[cyan adder]

Yeah bag lubed with Krytox 105g0 oil

[untold wigeon]

tray mount is shit but its not that bad that it makes literally every switch different

[cyan adder]

It’s gummy o ring mounted

Btw

[untold wigeon]

thats even worse then

[cyan adder]

Well I figured out why it was so diff

[cyan summit]

how many layers?

[untold wigeon]

also u can hear the stem brush on the tape on a couple of these

[cyan adder]

Keyboard sides are not on the deskmat xD

[cyan summit]

yeah that aswell

[cyan adder]

I mean, literally uneven feeted

Im stupid I recorded it like that

[untold wigeon]

do it again

[cyan adder]

Well I’ll try with Pc mic now

[cyan summit]

[fluid ravine]

I have no idea why but I did it anyways

[cyan adder]

seems like i need to relube things

maybe tape absorbed some lube that were on the stem

[harsh dove]

All these mods and you could’ve bought a better mic by now

[quiet bay]

I need a better camera lol

trash iphone x camera

[cyan summit]

buy an iphone 15 pro

[quiet bay]

who do you think I am

[harsh dove]

Yeah so your hand can catch on fire

[cyan summit]

its on the 15 pro max

I think? the pro didnt heat up that crazy

[quiet bay]

I can buy a 4k webcam at the price of 300-400 😭

[cyan summit]

just buy a camera like what

[quiet bay]

I do not need

a 15 pro max

[harsh dove]

It’s the pro version in general, they have the A17 chip

And their new update didn’t fix it either

[quiet bay]

real titanium, no backbone though

fragile

[harsh dove]

The titanium they use is actually cheap

There’s a video on it

It’s like $8

[cyan summit]

when we talk about heat and you got an amd cpu in your pfp

[quiet bay]

Might as well go back to the old build

[harsh dove]

Still runs cooler than Intel 13th and 14th gen lol

And uses less power

[cyan summit]

I mean 14 gen is fully flopped

[harsh dove]

Ideally the 14 Pro is the way to go

[harsh dove]

Yeah it’s pretty lame

[cyan summit]

I will sell my 12600k to a friend who needs it and may buy an 7800x3d

[harsh dove]

I have an i7-12700K in my closet

[cyan summit]

just okay right?

[harsh dove]

Wym

[cyan summit]

you are not using it right

[harsh dove]

Nah

[cyan summit]

what are you using rn

[harsh dove]

7800X3D

[cyan summit]

[harsh dove]

Yessir lol

3D chips hit different

[quiet bay]

meanwhile im running on a i5 12400

[harsh dove]

Only for gaming tho, otherwise I’d go 7950X or 13900KS

[quiet bay]

good enough!

[harsh dove]

12400 is solid don’t trip

[cyan summit]

I love amd cpus but I will never get an amd gpu again

[quiet bay]

yes good enough

[harsh dove]

Same

[cyan summit]

I had 24/7 problems with that dogshit

[harsh dove]

My homie has one, it’s a good chip

More powerful than people give it credit for tbh , same with the 12600k

[cunning nimbus]

does anyone have a video they recommend on how to do a gummy oring mount on the 60HE?

[quiet bay]

will last me for good years

[harsh dove]

https://youtu.be/8U6prjMZ_MM?si=KO0XQi1dkLIXJeiR

@cunning nimbus

[harsh dove]

Yeah definitely

[untold wigeon]

how

i never had an issue with 6650xt besides it bottlenecking my 13600k

but thats my own fault

[harsh dove]

Only AMD GPU I’ll own is a console lol

[quiet bay]

I have a 6700xt with the i5 12400 lol

[cyan summit]

crazy coil whine, drivers are bad, heat problems (halfly fixed with repasting), big problems with my power management on that card. faulty transistors or so no clue

[untold wigeon]

what the hell

why are ur drivers bad

whats a coil whine

[harsh dove]

Yeah tbh it’s kinda hit or miss with AMD GPUs I feel like

[quiet bay]

tbh I did have troubles with amd drivers

kinda trash

[untold wigeon]

i just install once and gg

its so simple

[quiet bay]

kept blacking out my screen

[harsh dove]

What the name implies, put your ear up to your GPU and listen for a tinny , metal whining noise

[cyan summit]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP73edpQwgc

1:45

[untold wigeon]

o

i never had that

[cyan summit]

when power runs through coils, they whine, sometimes louder sometimes quieter

you have it 101%

but you dont hear it

every electronics have that

[harsh dove]

Yeah some are worse than others

Literally varies from model to model

Nvidia has it too

[untold wigeon]

i never heard it its rlly quiet then

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s good

[cyan summit]

then youre good

its like roulette if u got less or more

[untold wigeon]

idk maybe they’re more faulty

but i never had an issue

[cyan summit]

coil whine is not bad

[untold wigeon]

lucky me

[cyan summit]

just annoying

[harsh dove]

Not bad especially if you wear headphones

[cyan summit]

I use a 3070 undervolted rn for 1,5y and 0 problems

I started having problems with amd after 3 months

couldnt RMA cuz of covid

[harsh dove]

That’s also in my closet lol

EVGA 3070 FTW3

[cyan summit]

oh my evga

[harsh dove]

RIP EVGA

[quiet bay]

all these good parts in your closet 😭

[cyan summit]

[harsh dove]

Such a shame

[cyan summit]

you cant blame evga for that

nvidia just braindead

[harsh dove]

Nah

Yeah Nvidia stupid

Or smart

Idk really

Greedy forsure

lol

[cyan summit]

yoo cat be chillin

[untold wigeon]

me when my little 6650xt is bottlenecking my 13600kf

[cyan summit]

underclock your 13600k

[untold wigeon]

i need a 3080 for the 13600k

minimum

right

[cyan summit]

or overclock your 6650xt

[untold wigeon]

dont use these big word round here

[cyan summit]

there is no minimum

like you can use a 980 ti with a 14900k

but it just makes no sense

[harsh dove]

Don’t get hooked on bottlenecks tbh, it’s a rabbit hole, just make sure you understand what bottlenecking really is

[untold wigeon]

yes but for 0 bottleneck

[harsh dove]

TLDR there’s always a bottleneck in your PC somehwere

Even with all the best hardware

[untold wigeon]

well the 6650xt definitely isnt strong enough thoughh

thats the issue

but atm i wont complain cuz i get like crazy fps regardless

[cyan summit]

depends what you play

[untold wigeon]

wells

certainly i dont have 4k

1080p, many fps games

[cyan summit]

if u play 1080p your config doesnt need a better gpu

[untold wigeon]

certain?

my friend has the same cpu as me but a better gpu and gets 30% more fps

1080p

[harsh dove]

Also depends on the game, some games are more cpu heavy or more GPU

[untold wigeon]

yes but the game should be cpu intensive

so i dont get it

[harsh dove]

If you have the money to get a new GPU, just do it but otherwise you’re probably fine

[cyan summit]

optimized OS, faster ram stuff like this can also affect performance

[harsh dove]

I wouldn’t buy anything unless it’s giving you like a 30% improvement or more

[fluid ravine]

wtf are yall talking about lol

[cyan summit]

this channel should be keyboard modding

[quiet bay]

compuger stuff

[harsh dove]

GPU/CPU combos

[fluid ravine]

oh lawd

[harsh dove]

Yeah we in the wrong channel

lol

[fluid ravine]

haha

not surprised

[quiet bay]

lel

[cyan summit]

just lubed my 3070

[harsh dove]

Nice

[cyan summit]

💀

[harsh dove]

With 205?

[fluid ravine]

lmaaoo

[quiet bay]

🔥 🔥 🔥

[cyan summit]

I just dipped it in 105

[quiet bay]

did it sound better

[harsh dove]

Ima use dielectric grease on my 7800X3D instead of thermal paste

[cyan summit]

imagine

[harsh dove]

Wish me luck

Lmao

[untold wigeon]

i want the finalmouse ultra light x

[cyan summit]

I THINK you can actually put dielectric grease on electronics

[harsh dove]

The new one?

[untold wigeon]

yes

[quiet bay]

meh

[harsh dove]

I thought about getting that but I just got a GPX2

[untold wigeon]

30g sounds wow for normal size louse

mouse

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[quiet bay]

yeah it is very wow

[untold wigeon]

i have a dav3p rn

[harsh dove]

Still might get it tbh

[untold wigeon]

but its ergo

and plastic

[quiet bay]

but im more worried about qc lel

[cyan summit]

lets switch channel

[untold wigeon]

i wanna try the new finalmouse

for that rsn

[harsh dove]

Yeah cause they use a carbon composite for the new one

[untold wigeon]

its diff shape, and material

so i can see my preference

also looks rlly nice

[harsh dove]

Yeah it’s clean

Guess its time to lube some switches

And flip my switches to south facing

Just got my new custom 12VHPWR in the mail

[quiet bay]

halfway done doing 3 layer tape mod to my alphas

doing more tmr

[untold wigeon]

just make sure to plug it in all the way, thats the reason these catch fire because they arent plugged in all the way

[cyan adder]

I have 19 switches left

I prefer to go sleep

[quiet bay]

go sleep

[cyan adder]

14 switches / 30 min now

Without losing quality

It seems like it takes a little time to make the switch tape break in

Sounds better than 1 hour ago xD

[untold wigeon]

we need v2 lekkers

[harsh dove]

Oh I know trust me lol, I have a drawer full of cables

Mine never melted like most peoples tho

Just black screens

[untold wigeon]

black screens?

i ran the same cable on a 3090ti and 4090 for over a 18 months now and it's been fine

no such issues

[harsh dove]

Yeah I got black screens with my 12vhpwr

[untold wigeon]

i never did

[harsh dove]

Happens to a lot of if you look it up

[untold wigeon]

thats not normal

[harsh dove]

Just cause of how fragile the sens wires were

Black screens are not normal, no. Lol

[untold wigeon]

im using the cable that comes with the Seasonic TX-1600

[harsh dove]

It was only with my cablemod cables

[untold wigeon]

lol

dont u have an ATX3 PSU?

[harsh dove]

When I used the ATX 3.0 12vhpwr from Corsair , I never had any issues

[untold wigeon]

then why did u swap it out

looks arent worth such issues

[harsh dove]

Cause cablemod made a new revision of these

V1.1

And I got it for free since I bought their older products

I have $120 on store credit

From the early adopter program

So gonna try this new cable and see how it goes

But from other people who have gotten the v1.1, nobody’s reported any issues

And it was mainly adapters melting, not cables

And even then I have 3 of their adapters and none of them melted but I stopped using them

And lastly, CableMod has some of the best customer service I’ve ever seen or experienced so that’s why I continue to fuck with them

[cyan adder]

@fluid ravine does your QWE keys sounds differents than others one?

[untold wigeon]

this guy is me

i still dont understand how u can use 4k and 1440p without OCD triggering urself but i will try it with the woled 240hz panel

[harsh dove]

Lmfao

[untold wigeon]

also u sit far away from those things, u must have good vision

[harsh dove]

I do tbh

And yanno just turkey neck sometimes

[untold wigeon]

i cant read text past 50cm

[harsh dove]

Damn

I pray for you

[untold wigeon]

i sit 30cm away from these things so 4K is insane diff for me

[harsh dove]

Yeah I feel that, I’ve researched (and own) a ton of monitors , for me with 4K, it’s just sharper edges mainly

[untold wigeon]

i owned basically every form factor possible myself

[harsh dove]

And also depends on the size of the screen

[untold wigeon]

what i like the best is 21:9 34 but 16:9 27-28 comes 2nd

[harsh dove]

Yeah I kinda waste money on a lot of tech

But it’s fun

[untold wigeon]

did u ever put all ur screens together?

[harsh dove]

Not with the UW yet but hold on..

[untold wigeon]

i did once

[untold wigeon]

this was the end result

doubled stacked 32:9s, portrait 16:9, portrait 21:9

[harsh dove]

I haven’t tried 32:9 yet

Feel like I wouldn’t like it

[untold wigeon]

avoid samsung at all costs for 32:9

[harsh dove]

That’s dope af tho

[untold wigeon]

$1700 monitors both broke after 6 months

[harsh dove]

How come?

Damnnnn

wtf

[untold wigeon]

terrible QC

i just sold them

[harsh dove]

Crazy

[untold wigeon]

i saw a lot of issues with the OLED G8 im surprised u have none

[harsh dove]

None yet lol

[untold wigeon]

i recently had a Neo G7 and it developed 12 dead pixels in a week

so returned it

[harsh dove]

If I do I’ll just get a DWF or that new ASUS one

[untold wigeon]

new asus one?

[harsh dove]

Yuh

Lemme find it

[untold wigeon]

i had the DW which i loved but with my usage it got burnt in because of the aspect ratio

i watch a lot of full screen videos so a 16:9 video will make the pixels wear out unevenly on a 21:9 OLED

but for gaming it was insane

even vs my LG C2

[harsh dove]

https://rog.asus.com/articles/gaming-monitors/ultrawide-and-ultrafast-meet-the-rog-swift-oled-pg34wcdm/

[untold wigeon]

oh this

[harsh dove]

I think it was this one

[untold wigeon]

this is a WOLED

so u'll get worse HDR

[harsh dove]

Compared to QD yea

[untold wigeon]

and the curve is extreme

we're talking 800-1000R vs 1800R

[harsh dove]

Yeah I mainly just want QD and 1000R

[untold wigeon]

1000R is too much for 34

only 49 needs 1000R

[harsh dove]

Lowkey meant 1800R my bad lol

Had to remember for a sec

[untold wigeon]

oh yeah

im still debating on the 27GR95QE vs the PG27AQDM
Asus has better brightness, LG has better software and the price diff is pretty big

[harsh dove]

But yeah QDOLED and 1800R is what I would want if mine goes out

I feel like I almost bought a PG27AQDM at one point

Lemme look

Ah yeah

[untold wigeon]

the issue i have with Asus is that LG Dell and partially Samsung are the only ones that do their pixel refresh compensations properly

[harsh dove]

Cause I was gonna buy that or the LG one , and I went with LG

[untold wigeon]

but 60 nits in HDR and SDR on the same WOLED panel is a huge diff

[untold wigeon]

u have the LG 240hz WOLED?

[harsh dove]

Nah not the WOLED one

[untold wigeon]

ah ok

[untold wigeon]

i think u mean the AQN the 360hz IPS

[harsh dove]

It’s the LG27GP95R

[untold wigeon]

AQDM is 240hz oled

[untold wigeon]

ah thats the 4k ips one

ye

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[untold wigeon]

honestly IPS isnt that bad, but man do i miss the OLED

[gaunt linden]

Does Anyone know where i Can get a kb cable thats like seetrough or something like that? Kinda like the ones that have IEMS

[untold wigeon]

i think if someone makes that its gotta be cablemod

[harsh dove]

And then I have an XG27AQM

Somewhere in a closet

[harsh dove]

Seeing OLED, it’s hard to go back

[untold wigeon]

i have the M28U gigabytes 4k144hz ips and the PG279Q which was the first 1440p165hz gsync panel back in like 2015

[harsh dove]

But them 360Hz and 500Hz monitors are crazy

[untold wigeon]

the pg27 lasted me for so long its insane

[harsh dove]

I think I have one of those as well

[untold wigeon]

its been my main for 3 years and my secondary for more than that

[harsh dove]

Was my first one pretty sure

[untold wigeon]

it has dead pixels but its been a long time

[harsh dove]

Yeah I think I gave mine to my mom or a different ASUS one

[untold wigeon]

i paid like 1200 euros for it back in the day crazy ass price but it was scalped here

[harsh dove]

That’s wild

[untold wigeon]

ye

i like 4k but man i gotta have the oled back

and 240hz oled too

144hz to 240hz i experienced it on Samsung VA and the diff was huge

[harsh dove]

Yeah I guess 4K isn’t too big of a deal for me rn

It’s super nice for watching content tho

[untold wigeon]

i mean sometimes i get 240 in 4k in some games so i will def be cpu bottlenecked more at 1440p

[harsh dove]

I mean yeah, I know I do with my 4090 lol

[untold wigeon]

and its in triple A games too

[harsh dove]

Even tho it’s more pixels than 2560x1440

With an UW

[untold wigeon]

ye

[harsh dove]

I’m happy with my frames tho, I get 97% usage in most games

[untold wigeon]

i was playing hogwarts the other way and i was almost hitting 300 sometimes lmao

this is at 4k with dlss balanced

[harsh dove]

Eww balanced

lol

[untold wigeon]

i cant tell a diff

[harsh dove]

Nah it’s not that much of a diff honestly

You have to be looking for it

And in motion it doesn’t really matter

[untold wigeon]

also even 4K DLSS performance is more resolution than 1440 dlss quality

so it doesnt matter

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[untold wigeon]

also keyboard related ur gonna lube ur switches now?

[harsh dove]

Yup that’s what I’m doing now

[untold wigeon]

i'd grab 5 of them and experiment with different variations on the spring

especially on the bottom

it makes a huge diff

i relubed my tab and caps lock yesterday and they went from clacky and hollow to kinda deep sounding

[harsh dove]

Wym by variations? I know you mean lube but like in what way

[untold wigeon]

like how much lube

[harsh dove]

And just on the base you mean ?

[untold wigeon]

on the bottom of the spring

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[untold wigeon]

any other areas i wouldnt overlube

[harsh dove]

Right yeah

[untold wigeon]

it completely ruins the switch

[harsh dove]

That’s what I meant by base of the spring lol

[untold wigeon]

yes

id also do a light layer on the floor of the housing

like below the spring

[harsh dove]

Gotcha

[untold wigeon]

also if anything goes wrong this is not my fault

🗿

[harsh dove]

lol I’m pretty good with my hands

[untold wigeon]

have fun and cya in 5 hours

[harsh dove]

Literally

[untold wigeon]

u'll have fun doing the stabs

[harsh dove]

Actual fun?

[untold wigeon]

i attribute fun with masochism

[harsh dove]

Oh same

I play Tarkov

[untold wigeon]

😭

[fluid ravine]

My wasd sounds a but different than others only because u game alot

But qwe I'd say is normal

Why?

[surreal linden]

Bruh I can’t tell if I overlubed a switch or not 😭

They just sound more quiet compared to the unlubed ones

[cyan summit]

depends what parts you lubed

if u feel stickyness they may be overlubed

[surreal linden]

o it’s not sticky

It’s actually kinda smooth when you click

[cyan summit]

thats why you lube switches right

[surreal linden]

I made sure all the parts are shiny when you put it to a light

And that’s it

And no white stuff on it

Made sure to make it transparent

[cyan summit]

so, do you have any problems or are you happy with the result

[surreal linden]

Tbh I can’t tell the difference between lubed and unlubed

Everyone saying it should be deeper sounding

Mine just got more quiet and that’s it

So idk if I did it right lol

[cyan summit]

you can apply very thin and it may just make it smoother and thats if

if u want thock you may apply more lube

[surreal linden]

Ah I see

[cyan summit]

the most thock comes if u lube your bottom housing

[surreal linden]

But when is it too much lube that it become “overlubed”

[finite gate]

so i pulled off my tape mod to fix my stabs. something fell off , tofu jr pcb, its to the left of the flex cut.

[cyan summit]

its overlubed when it sticks

[weary tree]

when itts sticky

[surreal linden]

Ohhh

Okok

So I did it right

[weary tree]

u can hear the wet

[surreal linden]

Thank god

[cyan summit]

u can apply as much as you want

[finite gate]

it lit up once and then stopped, still registers keys.

[cyan summit]

until you hear wet sounds or stickyness they are overlubed

[weary tree]

if you find the sound too muted you can tempest mod

makes it poppier

[surreal linden]

o

Wait what does a wet sound sound like on a switch?

[weary tree]

2 sec

[cyan summit]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAW_vD0BzgM&t=355s

F,G,H sounds good J and K is def overlubed

[weary tree]

ye was about to link that

sound test at 6 mins

[cyan summit]

I dont think H is overlubed like he said

depends how it feels

[surreal linden]

I got a video rn idk if y’all can hear this

[cyan summit]

do you feel stickyness?

[surreal linden]

No

[cyan summit]

then youre good to go

[surreal linden]

o ok

Thank you

[weary tree]

its preference after all

[surreal linden]

This my first time ever doing this lol

[weary tree]

if youre happy with it its fine

[surreal linden]

Ah ok

Thank you

[cyan summit]

if u want a deep sound then focus on the bottom housing and stem

[surreal linden]

o ok

I kinda just went for an all around

Lubed everything

[cyan summit]

yeah just like u want

dont forget your spring to lube

[surreal linden]

o yea I did that

It took a bit lol

[cyan summit]

I dont think u got 105 oil right?

[surreal linden]

No

[cyan summit]

krytox 205g0 will be fine aswell then

[surreal linden]

I only got the gpl

[cyan summit]

wait

whats the numbers

[surreal linden]

205g0

[cyan summit]

good

[void hollow]

GPL105 (spring)

GPL205g0 (stem/housing)

[surreal linden]

Wait

I put this on spring 💀

[cyan summit]

its fine

[surreal linden]

o ok

[cyan summit]

if u havent got gpl105

[surreal linden]

Does it sound different?

[void hollow]

GPL205g0 is the mix of GPL205 and GPL105 if im not wrong-

[surreal linden]

Yea it says multi purpose

So I assumed it was fine

[void hollow]

i mean, with the GPL105 your lube process will be easier since you can just drop like 3-5 drops into a bag and bag lube about 70-90 springs

[surreal linden]

o dang

Bruh the springs took me like 2 hours to do 😭😭

[void hollow]

rather than with GPL205g0 you will probably want to use a more fine brush like Size 00 or be really careful with a Size 0 brush

[weary tree]

ye but you still want to lube the ends of the springs with 205g0

at least i do

[surreal linden]

I got this brush

No clue what size it is

[cyan summit]

personally if u lubed your bottom housing with 205g0 and the springs with 105 I don't additionaly add some 205g0 on the springs but like said it everyone like they want

[void hollow]

personally id use a Size 0 for Stem and Housing, while for springs id use Size 00, but i still find GPL105 bag lubing springs the way to go (not really into sitting down for a good few hours to brush the springs)

[surreal linden]

I see

Now I think I need to put in the foam and pcb for wooting and that’s it

Idk what other mods I really need

[void hollow]

funny enough i don't even have my keyboard or have experience lubing switches yet, but im just compressing the knowledge i heard from others

[surreal linden]

o lol

I just recently gotten into keyboards

[void hollow]

i have trust issues when shopping for switch lube from local stores

my mind be like "what if they just put some middle class lube in there and i wouldn't even notice the difference"

[surreal linden]

I found mine on Amazon

My lube brand is so unknown

[void hollow]

since the krytox (GPL) lube sold are pretty much repackaged

[surreal linden]

o

Does branding even matter?

Someone said it doesn’t matter

It’s just 205g0 that matters

[void hollow]

205g0 is from krytox

[surreal linden]

o

Nvm then

[cyan summit]

u usually cant buy krytox as private user like in that small amounts (10g,..) from the manufacturer themself. mainly resellers buy big amounts and repack them

[surreal linden]

o I see

[void hollow]

yeah exactly my trust issues

[surreal linden]

I mean if they didn’t do anything suspicious to my lube then I’m fine

[void hollow]

👀

NO

STOP

[cyan summit]

I would prefer to buy from keyboard resellers instead of amazon

[surreal linden]

Yea but the shipping fee was too much for me

There import duties and everything

[void hollow]

(singapore) 50sgd shipping fee 💀🇱

[cyan summit]

real krytox + shipping or monkey krytox + free shipping

[void hollow]

yea im gonna spend 60 dollars on 10g of REAL KRYTOX

[surreal linden]

Gotta tank the free shipping

[cyan summit]

I once bought "krytox" from amazon and it was def not krytox. some sort of other lubricant

[weary tree]

i got from some random resellers its fine

just check reviews

[void hollow]

does it taste the same?

[surreal linden]

Wait y’all wanna check out this lube? 😭

Imagine it ain’t 205g0

[weary tree]

it looks the same acts the same

[surreal linden]

Yea good enough

[void hollow]

yeah thats worth

[cyan summit]

hmm looks good I guess

[surreal linden]

53?

What the

[cyan summit]

10G 50?

hell nah

[void hollow]

singapore 🤡

[surreal linden]

That’s the same as Canadian

[void hollow]

yeap

[surreal linden]

Which is like a shit ton of money lol

[cyan summit]

keyboard hobby is not a cheap hobby thats for sure

if u would tell someone that you buy 130€ worth of plastic for your keyboard they would think u are joking

[void hollow]

yea im new to kb hobbying

and i already spent 700sgd+

[surreal linden]

I spent $1000

[void hollow]

i want the kineticlabs CONTAINER

[surreal linden]

Well near it

[void hollow]

BUT THE SHIPPING IS 50 DOLLARS

[surreal linden]

Ikr

Bruh

And then there’s import duties

[void hollow]

I KNOW U CAN GET OTHER AIRTIGHT CONTAINERS

I KNOW

[cyan summit]

don't you know any people that could ship themselves where it may be cheaper?

[void hollow]

I KNOW 😭

[void hollow]

nope

[cyan summit]

and I am depressed when I pay 20€ shipping

[void hollow]

im gonna send a screenshot of all my shipping

[surreal linden]

Canada and Singapore got it rough on shipping

[void hollow]

this aint that bad

ouch

[surreal linden]

I think I spent more

Near $150

[void hollow]

ouch

[surreal linden]

Oof and then there’s a transfer fee for currency

It’s like 4%

[void hollow]

i hate paypal currency fees

[surreal linden]

Ikr

[void hollow]

it's like made just to rip the fuck out of you off

[surreal linden]

I didn’t know they only accept PayPal

That’s for kbdfan right?

[void hollow]

yeapp ur right

[surreal linden]

Yea bruh

[void hollow]

kbdfans is fucking expensive because of the paypal fees

[surreal linden]

Yea

And they use DHL

For shipping

[void hollow]

they dont even give me an estimate of when itll arive LOL

[surreal linden]

o lol

They actually gave my stuff early

It said Nov 6th

But I got it today

[cyan summit]

they may haven't got any information bout that

[surreal linden]

Or ig yesterday

[cyan summit]

damn

[void hollow]

real?

[celest depot]

just buy dont think of the rate

[void hollow]

you make me keSiao

[weary tree]

doesnt some websites change the currency for you?

[void hollow]

i don't think kbdfans does

[weary tree]

kbdfans has a aliexpress shop

likr official shop

[surreal linden]

Do y’all lube your stabilizer?

Or nah?

Idk if I can use that 205g0 thing again for stabilizer

[weary tree]

you can use 205g0 or permatex dielectric grease

i use dielectric grease on the wire

its a little thicker

and 205 on the housing

[surreal linden]

o I see

I think wooting already has preapplied dielectric grease

So idk if I should even touch it

Since I don’t have nah

Any*

[hazy niche]

Anyone know any keycap sets that match the teal on my mouse? Getting my wooting ordered and I’m super excited to customize it

[loud zephyr]

Fairly close but certainly a good brand

https://novelkeys.com/collections/keycaps/products/key-kobo-glacier

[surreal linden]

Did anyone get the tofu 60?

How did you put in the wooting foam?

[weary tree]

i didnt

just the tofu foam

[surreal linden]

Oh

Is it better?

[loud zephyr]

Peel the bottom part of the foam off

[surreal linden]

Wait what

Like this layer?

[cyan adder]

yeah; same

[surreal linden]

@loud zephyr

[sacred jay]

if theres a change but it doesnt feel like shit you did it right

of course overlube depends on if it starts feeling murky

[surreal linden]

ah I see

[loud zephyr]

Yuh that's the one, I'd try the Tofu60 foam first

[marble shuttle]

tofu60 foam isnt good dont try it

[shrewd sun]

where are you located? I have the original RFP NK65 keycaps if you are interested

[shrewd sun]

these

[crimson sky]

Only comes with that board tho

[weary tree]

he said "i have"

[crimson sky]

They only were made for on that board as well tho

You'd need a different right shift

And some bottom row caps

[weary tree]

true

[shrewd sun]

ahh true good point

[obsidian dagger]

https://kbdfans.com/products/epbt-chocomint

could sign up for this maybe?

[fair mountain]

Did anyone see the wooting live yesterday? Did you get any interesting information?

[obsidian dagger]

take control in other colors, some iso support

[bronze grove]

HK warehouse coming for east asian customers
Take control keycaps in more colour options shown off (still undecided which to proceed with past testing phases)
ISO support for Take Control keycaps maybe coming?

[weary tree]

https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx5bTOvQQ5BDGnzktXpptJlmUWaEVVxuWK?si=AzLp5y6V3z4Q9B2q

[fair mountain]

Thank you all for your help!
It was very hard for me to know the contents of that live as I am not good at English

[weary tree]

there was the 10 minutes speedrun timer

[gilded lake]

omg if you make an iso FRENCH black and white it would be... amazing

[quiet bay]

man..

I have to redo my 3 layer switch tape mod for the alphas 💀

made the strips too thin

[velvet egret]

why?

oh

[fluid ravine]

Gl haha

[hazy niche]

Yeah like others have said unfortunately this set wouldn’t work without some mismatched caps, I appreciate the offer though!

[harsh dove]

Spent 5 hours lubing last night till 2 am, can confirm, lubing your switches is not a placebo lol

( I did switch rails and stems, bottom and top housing's a little bit and base of springs. Stab wires and housings done as well)

Now I just need my Alumaze to arrive

[cyan adder]

How do you know it was too thin ?

[quiet bay]

smol

[cyan adder]

What does it means

[quiet bay]

Small in width

or length

[cyan adder]

I mean, what problem did it caused to the sounds / feel ?

Im wondering if I did my switch tape mod correctly since I feel mushiness

[quiet bay]

I dont even know but it feels wrong

some feel perfectly smooth and fast as it was

But i feel like it got more resistance now

Ima lube the tape

[cyan adder]

Yeah lubing should solve your issues

Better than redo the switch tape …

[visual raven]

how ridiculous would it be to try to paint part of the top housing of the switches so they’re not so visually obvious under the key cap?

[lunar sand]

kind of depends ... are your keycaps transparent?

i mean, the angle of sight, hardly you will see the switches...

don't over-engineer 😄

[visual raven]

I’m rationalizing my way into a paint pen to test

[lunar sand]

btw @bronze grove i need to go back to my statement of lubbing ... light lubing, doesn't really change the pitch that much ... but "full-freaking-time-consuming" lubing ... does 😄

so ... i was not correct on my statement

@visual raven paiting the top housing of the switches ... its kind of useless, because they will be hidden by the switches...

[visual raven]

They’re normal opaque caps, but I painted my plate black so the clear housings catch the light pretty good

[faint timber]

Hey guys!

Can anybody send me in the right direction when looking for customized keycaps for the wooting 60E UK ISO < 3

[lunar sand]

well... the thickest the deeper sound, kind of depends on what you are looking for ...

[visual raven]

When actually using the keyboard, yeah for sure there’s barely any switch visible. When glancing at it when sitting back from my desk a fairly small amount I find it quite noticeable

[lunar sand]

my 2 cents on keycaps, you can be lucky on some clones, but after getting 4 clones ... e decided going full "official" keycaps ... keeping the spending kind of logical ... not going for ABS ... but always for PBT ... but that's my opinion, others may haver different takes

[lunar sand]

keyboards are to be used, not be be glanced 😄 ...

not that way at least

😄

[faint timber]

Looking for those PBT caps. I actually quite new to modding so I don't really know the options that are available.

Preferably PBT keycaps that are customizable with my own logo or icons and such

[lunar sand]

ooooof @faint timber for customizable i don't have any experience with

i don't really care about that 😄 maybe some friends in the channel have some ideas for you

[faint timber]

No worries. Any keycaps that you do reccomend then that can make the 'thock' sound

[last vigil]

Guys,can I use plastic tape for the tape mod?

[bronze grove]

Plastic...tape?

[rich canyon]

Anyone got any helpful links to taking the 2 HE apart for modding?

[bronze grove]

Screws, screws and more screws.

[bronze grove]

https://youtu.be/mj66YesiJJk

This video should help you get through the process of opening it up.

[harsh dove]

https://youtu.be/0dLzdUFzXjk?si=8bPDSYGWemwc7jl7

Interesting

I haven't done a lot of mods but I do feel like lubing makes the biggest difference

[quiet bay]

indeed it does

[lunar sand]

someone is missing a ring ... everyone that does keebs youtube videos MUST have a ring on the finger 😄

but something is correct... the sound, overall, doesn't change much 😄 ... i still think 3 layer tape mods does change the sound ... and a FULL lube of the switches ( yes, light lubing won't do much, but full lube work will change the pitch ... time consuming af... )

overall conclusions ... for sound ... mechanical swiches will be more impacted by the overall mods

[harsh dove]

Yeah, I did a full lubing last night, took me 5 hours with some fuckin around inbetween lol

Was worth it tho

[lunar sand]

yeah, its softer ... tbh, the first i lubed them it was a light lube, did not change much

after i did a full job lube ... it changed

[harsh dove]

yeah I tested a few switch lightly lubed and then I did full lube on the bottom and top housings

but I just did light layers

[lunar sand]

im waiting for my ks-20s ... from what i saw from badseed reviews, they are already pre-lubed and lubing by yourself won't bring much added value, so waiting to see what happens...

tbh ... my keyboard, for my likings, is as good as it gets right now

[harsh dove]

How do they sound compared to lekker?

[lunar sand]

just waiting on the PC plate

can't say, did not received them yet

😄

[harsh dove]

yeah I'm waiting for PC plate and Alumaze

[lunar sand]

me too

right now i have the poseidon 60, really like the case

[harsh dove]

I did a burger mount in the stock case tho

Oh okay

[lunar sand]

if the sound signature doesn't change much ... i might think buying the wooting module, building a new keyboard and giving it to my son ehehe

[harsh dove]

Ima watch that ks20 vid from Bad Seed, Im curious

[lunar sand]

i still did not do the burger mount but

[harsh dove]

Yeah the module seems dope, esp since it has pcb stabs

[lunar sand]

yep 😄 already ordered 2 TX screw-ins

but i'm also building a Tofu Redux for work

with a KBD pcb

[harsh dove]

Lol yeah I ordered plate mount TX AP and the new screw in ones, just to try them out

[lunar sand]

so i will be able to try out different cases and all

for plate mount i just use my old trusted everglide panda's v3 😄

loved them the first time ... still love them ...

but i did every mod i could to them, so

at the end of the day, if you mod the stabs ... they will all sound similar

[harsh dove]

Yeah after lubing the stock stabs and wires they're really not that bad tbh

but I'm new so what do I know lol

[lunar sand]

ehehe it's normal ... and tbh, custom keyboards are about swapping parts that come stock

with after market that "we think" are better

😄

[harsh dove]

Lol yeah

[lunar sand]

i have 4 customs

i did not go crazy in terms of prices for cases and such

but the time and effort

... that's what really makes the custom keyboards special

at the end of the day ... sometimes we have placebo effect ... sometimes we really admire our effort

but we love the end result

😄

[harsh dove]

Yeah I kinda feel like it's more about the time and effort put into your board rather than just buying the most expensive parts

[lunar sand]

yeah, almost like overclocking a cpu ... well nowadays its not exactly like that ... but some years ago, you would get a intel cpu and get 30% (at least) more performance from it just by overclocking it

nowadays its all about power consumption and temperature

my son still has a Intel 4th generation, at 4.8Ghz ... 😄

yeah i know i need to get him a new cpu/platform

but either way ...

buying keyboards that are not so expensive

[astral ocean]

Hey guys quick question, can you put screw in stabs on the wooting 60?

[cyan summit]

no

[harsh dove]

no

[lunar sand]

and making them sound like they would cost 400 or 500

its fun 😄

[cyan summit]

plate mount only

[lunar sand]

nooope, just plate mounted

[harsh dove]

You have to buy the Wooting Module to get Screw In Stabs

[lunar sand]

man, the cool think, i started all this hobby with a ducky keyboard]

and learned how to solder with it

and desolder of course

removed all the switches ... solderer new switches ...

and of course, new sound dampening and stabs and all

😄

but its was very complex to start with that basis ...

then ... after that ducky... i learned what to swap switches to a mouse

so i tuned my GPX (1st gen)\

[cyan summit]

modding mice is so underrated

[lunar sand]

yeah... but also a pain

i changed the battery to my gpx, changed the switches ... did some grinding

but i mean ...

just to learn

[harsh dove]

Should I do white or black space bar?

[lunar sand]

black

but that's a very personal opinion

😄

i do accent colour on mine

and don't like it so muchio
