because the space bar is a big area of colour that will be there making a lot of contrast...

cyan summit
#

alumaze or a redux would look sick additionally

#

and black spacebar

harsh dove
#

Appreciate the feedback, thank you! And yeah I got an alumaze and pc plate kit on the way

cyan summit
#

nicee

mental hemlock
#

@fluid ravine It's time.

lunar sand
#

what alumaze did you get_

#

?

#

i got the lavender 😄 its going to look sick with my octopus keycaps ehehhe

#

Btw for these two today. They are totally worth it … jeez

harsh dove
#

I was gonna get concrete but I went with black for my setup

#

And yeah I got the gateron tools

lunar sand
#

Opening lekkers is a pita

harsh dove
#

Using the gateron switch opener, feels like using a nutcracker lol it’s fun

lunar sand
#

Yep totally

#

I wished I had it when I first opened my switches 🤣

harsh dove
#

lol yeah I watched a lot of videos when I got this keyboard and took the advice from most of them

#

And some of you guys in here have helped me of course

lunar sand
#

Yeah I didn’t come here before I had my keyboard modded Ehehe

#

Man I have a soft spot for keyboards and mice Ehehe …

Thank you

mental hemlock
#

30A or 50A tho

lunar sand
#

5 layers of tape mod for the PCB… 3 on the switch …

#

For the stabs wire I feel dielectric grease works the best though

#

But personal opinion

harsh dove
#

Personally feel like you shouldn’t need to holee mod TX stabs

gaunt linden
#

Whats the difference between TX and AP TX?

#

And is it really needed to upgrade from stock to TX stabs?

bronze grove
#

You won't gain anything from swapping out the stock, plate mounted stabs.

harsh dove
#

AP just stands for Almost Perfect which just has a thicker housing, and no it’s not needed

lucid owl
#

You can lube the stock stabs the wooting comes with just fine

harsh dove

gaunt linden
#

Thanks

#

Are we getting the new module tomorrow?🥲🥲🥲

bronze grove
#

On ... a sunday?

autumn turtle
#

does anyone here use the silicon pad as opposed to the poron foam from the switch plate? what do you think of it

lunar sand

I swapped mine for white durocks, simple to make them less visible on my grey 60HE.

This intro is hilarious

There we go 😂

harsh dove
#

if you don't mind

#

I like the theme, very solid

fathom yoke
#

Yea I bought the finalmouse and then ordered my wooting and was like hm keycaps which then evolved into the coiled cable and new deskmat so the OCD really started kicking in until the rabbit hole was fully sent down

#

Plus the black alumaze with the small gold block was just perfect

fringe torrent

mousepad rabbit hole is fun

Do you have to use the silocone rings for the alumaze or is the foam enough?

# fringe torrent ever thought about going down the mousepad rabbit hole also awesome setup

Nah I havent, I had a gpx superlight before the starlight 12 and i bought the deskmat from logitech that they would like “bundle” with it on amazon and i’m pretty sure it was like $50. After a few months of use it started separating the top part of the pad from the bottom… the deskmat I have now is from Drop its under the recommended with the GMK Blue Samurais and its double stitched around the edge and was only $30… I don’t think I’ll ever buy a non double stitched pad again

fringe torrent
#

plenty of other brands that make really nice stuff

lethal dove
#

@fluid ravine experimented with the distance of my phone for recording, got some new sound tests that are as close to the real sound as possible with a phone mic

#

Hopefully tomorrow I find some time to finally lube the switches

i will listen to it after dinner

but original one was 3d printed too

mental hemlock

how in the world did you make it wireless? what is it's current polling rate?

lethal dove

swap in a wireless pcb from a different mouse

mine is a logitech g305 pcb

cyan adder

does anyone has a tofu redux that has uneven feet?

mental hemlock
cyan adder
#

IDK how to fix that

lethal dove
#

but havent modded mice in a while now

untold wigeon
#

i never see a buy button or such

#

how do they sell

lethal dove
#

they sold them in batches

#

once they were sold out you had to wait for the next batch

#

now I think the stopped the m2k and are working on the m3k

mental hemlock
#

they are

fringe torrent
#

ye they stopped taking orders on the m2k since September last year

#

theo they had a small drop a few months ago of some left over ones

#

but m3k comes out this month

lethal dove
mental hemlock
#

how much, is the question

fringe torrent
#

since the last batch of m2k sold for 320 euros each

lethal dove
fringe torrent
#

blue mentioned the m3k was going to be more expensive but the m2s is 650euros i think so somewhere between that KEKW

fringe torrent
#

prob between 320 and 400 euros

#

for the m3k i think

lethal dove
lethal dove
mental hemlock
#

how much would that total be

fringe torrent
#

that would be so costly KEKW

#

especially if you dont have the m2k shell already

mental hemlock
#

worth

lethal dove
#

as said i would take a m1k shell and cut out the space for the scroll wheel. total would be in the 200-300 range

fringe torrent
mental hemlock
#

I'm in US

mental hemlock
#

Might just do a zero mouse instead for the price

fringe torrent
#

its a great mouse but deff not worth that cost

mental hemlock
#

definitely not lol

lethal dove
fringe torrent
#

i cant remember does the m1k have the bottom lip like the m2k

lethal dove
fringe torrent
#

i really want a glossy m2k/m3k

lethal dove
#

works in favor of modding not having it tho

fringe torrent
#

is it possible to fit a viper v2 pcb in the shell ?

lethal dove
#

would say the pcb is too long

#

and wouldnt be ez to cut

#

barely got the g305 pcb into the m1k, and had to cut to the absolute max

fringe torrent
#

MonNote really awesome mod tho

lethal dove
#

thx :)

cyan adder
#

Im a bit scared that I overlubed after switch tape modding .. do you think it will break in over time or I have to remove it manually ?

lethal dove
#

but also note that a lot of people feel like they overlubed their switches after lubing switches for the first time. I too thought I had overlubed my first board, its an unusual feeling that for the first time

ill buy one for shits and giggles but on 4k polling it would last a couple hours max PepeHands

for me the zeromouse looks slightly too big when compared to the m2k

Took me over 3 hours, but lubing my keys PAYS DIVIDENDS. I also added the tape mod. The sound and feel are 10/10. Before hand I really hated the feel /sound of typing on a wooting.

Now it's heaven.

Also enjoying the Alumaze. Very gorgeous case.

what is the best way to fix the spring ping of the lekker switches?

untold wigeon

lube it

lunar crow

205g0?

untold wigeon

yeah thats what i used

#

go heavy but not unreasonable on the bottom of the spring

light coats everywhere else

cyan adder

But thanks for answer

#

I might leave it break in for a week or two, then see

#

Here is how it sounds

#

More creamy irl btw

fluid ravine

my ass over here having to heavy lube my first sets of switches

#

mx BROWNS

#

they need the over lube job

fluid ravine
cyan adder
#

Idk bro I’m a bit scared that I may be overlubed

#

It was not smooth when I applied 2 layers of switch tape so I just went putting a light application of 205g0 on the tape

#

We have pretty much the same build now my tenz, I just don’t have the pcb pads / polyfill yet, they should be there next week

#

But I might be a little bit too much pessimistic about it. Actually if it breaks in, it should sound very good

lucid owl

Not the worst, but def a bit overlubed

cyan adder
#

Yeah sadly

untold wigeon
#

i mean instead of sounding chattery now they sound mushy

#

its like moving from 1 extreme to the next

cyan adder
#

I guess if it doesn’t break in I will just open them again and clean the lube

weary tree
#

ye is better to lube less than overlube

#

always easier to add lube

than to remove it

Always wondered how you can lubricate your lekker switches or grease your stabilizer wire. In this video, we will deep dive on different methods of lubing and some general tips and tricks. Using the Wooting 60HE.

what do you guys think is the best matching coiled cable for the just black alumaze

#

im trying to match the keyboard to the gold ulx

lethal dove
#

Im surprised this is stated like this in the modding faq, all my switches had a consistent amount of housing wobble. Even after filming with 0.15 films, there are still some with slight wobble, but much much better than before.

daring umbra

did they mention a new keyboard layout or no?

obsidian dagger

nothing we didnt know yet

I got mine from drop, a lil more expensive than the wooting one but it matches my keycap set

somber sundial

Mine didnt leave a tape mark but i have the black case🤷🏻‍♂️

bronze grove

It can be very faint.

I only barely see it on my grey one if I really shine it at just the right angle. Without doing anything to it.

somber sundial

I mean it should j be adhesive like if u take a piece of tape or sticker off anything, lil rub with the thumb and its good if anything

bruuh i wanted to do the tape mod on my wooting but turns out i have a too fat screwdriver

bronze grove

Gotta use a PH1

No it isn't.

like the base of it doesn’t clear the hole

bronze grove

So the handle?

Well that's a different matter then uwu_cry

like the top part of the bit because i’m using snap ons

bronze grove

A bit should fit just fine.

untold wigeon

🪛 + wootingfull = keycap

yeah but the bit is too fat like when i tried to turn the screwdriver it just scrapes against the edges of the hole and gets stuck xD

its like that

but ph1

now i got the bit but its not magnetic so idk how to get the screw out after unscrewing

Turn the keyboard upside down and give it a light shake?

will it not like go everywhere around the pcb?

So? You're pulling out the PCBA anyway

and make holes for the screws

can always just pull off the tape xd

ye

muted verge
harsh dove

Like painters tape or medical tape/paper tape, fabric tape like moleskin, etc

muted verge
#

Ahhh i see

harsh dove
#

But the amount of layers you do also make a difference

#

Most only do one layer of moleskin, but painters tape most do 3-5 layers typically

muted verge

Arrite i will try first with 3-4 layers of painters snd then if im not satisfied then mby moleskin is the way.

#

Sticky in what way? Like the sound profile?

#

Or the material itself

cyan adder
#

Material

harsh dove
#

Yeah it is very sticky compared to painters tape

#

If you ever remove it you just wanna pull slowly

cyan adder
#

And probably left residues right ?

#

Anyway my keebtape should come tomorrow or Tuesday

#

You’ll have a sound test

harsh dove

Not really, no. Nothing you can’t just rub off with your thumb either

cyan adder

My switches are mushy atm so either it will breaks in or either I’ll clean off some

harsh dove

Lol yeah I felt like they sounded kinda mushy yesterday

#

But give it some time

cyan adder

Sup rinsing that my wasd and 1234 are already breaking in

#

The mushiness on these keys are gone

harsh dove
#

That’s good

cyan adder
#

Yeah but.. I never use others keys xD

#

Exept spacebar / left control / left shift

harsh dove

They’ll just take longer to break in then lol

anyone tried kilmat already (or similar) ?

btw, i wanted to tryout the gummy o-ring mount mod ( install it between the plate and the pcb ) ... what size should i look for ?

You might need longer m2 screws if your tape layer is that thick

but I'm sure you can find a way

he did 4

im gonna keep one then

it screws on

Hopefully the tape im gonna buy tmrw isnt that thick so i can get more than 1 layer

But don’t tighten all the way

Hopefully in the future they use something else to hold the accent piece in place.

somber sundial
#

If you can't see it from the top (as it doesn't in your second pic) that's good news. I don't look at my keyboard from the side thankfully haha

If they just use a temp screw that would be better than tape.

I can only see it when a lot of light is hitting it and I’m viewing it at an extreme angle now.

Very excited to see what the sound difference is steel vs aluminum

it was my port which wasn't aligning but i had to redo the tape mod again because i took of the tape and threw it into the bin lmao

Anyone getting misinputs with the wooting coiled cable?

# obsidian dagger they said it will be similar to the 60he

i think that's a little strange to be the same value as the wooting keyboard since, there's no case, there's no foams, there's no keycaps, there's no straps ... there's no switches ...
Can you please tell us where you saw that they say "it will be similar to the 60he" ?

faint oriole
#

I mean I wouldn't be surprised if it's relatively similar to the HE no? I feel like the main cost of the 60HE is from the PCB itself, the rest of stuff like the case, keys, straps, n such r probably insanely cheapt to produce

First time lubing, does any one know if this is overlubed?

faint oriole
#

and its not like its only the pcb that comes with the module there's a plate, foam I think, the PCB screw in stabs, n the option to add switches on during checkout so the price will be relatively similar

cinder merlin

yeah ill be real I feel like thats all up to personal prefence, a bit of a cop out answer, but still if it feels like super mushy n you don't like it because of that prob a lil over lubed

Hey i need help if anybody can help me

i just modded my wooting that i got a couple days ago, i did a 2 layer tape mode, lubed the switches and kept the original foam i put everything back together and got all the screws in expect 1 screw that will refuse to go in and it scratching the metal around it. what do i do someone please help.

Are TX the best stabs for the Wooting?(im looking to get some white ones so it matches everything)

Has anyone tried splitting the spacebar? I was thinking about using custom switch plate with holes for 2 additional switches (one on the left and one on the right). Then wiring them up to a microcontroller, so i can have 3 smaller spacebars instead of 1.

does anyone have an alternative case foam to GOKA b/c they're sold out

#

fr I thought they went out of business. did you apply o ring to your wooting?

#

I filmed and added switch tripods but they barely changed the sound of the keys

#

maybe they did because my keyboard thock more but i thhink thats because of the pc plate

I gummy o ring mounted my wooting

I didn't use tripods but

I used poron switch pads

they go on the pcb

did the poron switch pads help with the acoustics

whats the difference

fluid ravine
# untold wigeon whats the difference

gummy o'ring surrounds the module which goes into the case, but since we're going from tray mount to gummy o'ring, we consider this as friction mount. This mount helps balance the sound profile throughout the board unlike tray mount which has deadspots.
burger mount however uses small silicone orings that goes between the case, screws, and pcb which hence the name burger mount. You could use the screw depth to a specific sound profile depending on your preference, but unfortunately it still has the effects of tray mount.

Are the switches also to designed to account for north facing keycaps as well? Or would you need to pull and rotate them in that case.
If I really had to pull and rotate them, I would but I prefer not to atm.

Oh sorry, I'm not really knowledgable in keyboards

The LEDs are north facing, so if you use south facing rotated switches or keycaps, you will have less LED brightness

switches taping literally changed my life

crazy haha, I feel lazy with my mod list in comparison O.o

cyan adder
#

i was too, but it was time to time, i modded a bit more everyday, tested alot

#

i would never imagine i would done so much mods when i received my wooting first

#

actually i might not use the keeptape, as im really happy with the masking tape atm

#

only 1 layer, i tried 5 layers its more poppier as pochizo said

#

my sound started to turn into a mix of creamy and thocky, even if i chased thock at first i went to prefer the creamy/thocky sound i got now

#

its reaaaaaalllly deeeep thock, if u want a real comparison or render of what it sounds irl its like the moleskin tape video on youtube

#

im wonderring how it will turn replacing my wooting foam for polyfill in 2 days

idk how many amount of polyfill i should put actually

It gets closer and closer

Also I’ve noticed why my sounding seems so different on record. It’s because I’m holding my camera when filming and I’m not letting it down at one position. So sometimes my camera is close to keyboard, sometimes it’s far xD
