Has anyone here tried moleskin tape for tempest mod ?

[fringe torrent]

i was just using one of my mousepads in rotation and got called insane

[somber meteor]

yeahh lmaoo

[lethal dove]

No one has noticed the double stacked mouse pads just yet thankfully 👀😂

[fringe torrent]

mine from last month

[lethal dove]

The two okay, I would make fun of the little artisan pad just for the mice 😂😂😂

The desk too hard for you litwle mwice 🥺😂

[fringe torrent]

[grizzled path]

that's kinda funny

[gaunt linden]

Noiceeeeee

How much did they cost you?

Does someone know if there is another cheaper versión of this?

Thank you

[fringe torrent]

the stabs ? about $30aud with shipping

[fringe torrent]

you would have to go for the fake lemo connector to get a cheaper version

but that with a lindy cable would still be kinda pricey

the wooting cable tho i think is great value

[rustic axle]

https://www.zfrontier.com/app/flow/GKvJ1o3zVKJZ

gateron what is this

why would you double the contact patch

[gaunt linden]

Thank you

[lethal dove]

Maybe to counter stem wobble?

[rustic axle]

There are normal mx switches with better tolerances without needing whatever this is

[lethal dove]

🤷‍♂️ just the first thought I had on why, not saying its a good idea haha

[rustic axle]

But upon closer inspection it looks like the sides have a “tooth” on them so it’s not making full contact so maybe it won’t make it less smooth

Either way dunno if it would even work with wooting boards considering it has a longer middle stem

[lime lintel]

I never had a complaint about the metal plate in the plastic case. But from experience, within a metal case I always run PC or FRP plates as they get rid of the ping from the return stroke.
My best keyboard is an Odin V2 with Oil Kings and Staebies and with the PC plates it sounds fantastic!

[untold wigeon]

Hey guys one of the screws in my 60he seems to be “stuck”

Did you strip it?

It’s stripping if I do

For now I would say not to worsen it

The moment you strip it tooo much it becomes a disaster to get out

[hollow saffron]

can anyone recommend a case for the 60HE that has those adjustable stands?

[untold wigeon]

Is there a way to get it out without worsening it?

[grizzled path]

A common household rubber band can do the trick. Simply place part of the rubber band over the head of the screw. Insert your screwdriver into the rubber band. Turn the screwdriver counterclockwise to remove the stripped screw.

[untold wigeon]

Tysm bro

Yall are lifesavers

Was about to strip a screw lol

[grizzled path]

did it work?

[untold wigeon]

We can’t find a rubber band 💀

[grizzled path]

dang

[untold wigeon]

How do we not have rubber bands 😂

Does a hair tie work?

[grizzled path]

stuff's always missing when you need it

well I guess you could try, probably not frictioney enough

there's usually a rubber band inside if you scrape the soft part off though lol

[untold wigeon]

Alright thanks for the tips

Got a rubber band but it’s making weird sounds

It looks like it’s crooked

[untold wigeon]

Yeah no didn’t work, I think the screw is crooked because it at least looks like it is

I don’t see how it could though

[grizzled path]

sadness

[hexed dragon]

sweet caps, what are those?

[fringe torrent]

the blue ones are gmk 80082 bl00 and the all grey are dualshot2

[untold wigeon]

I’ve been waiting forever to mod my wooting too 😭

Lmao

I’ll find a way probably

[hexed dragon]

sheesh those are expensive lol

[untold wigeon]

It’s the perfect screw hole too

The screw just WONT budge

Like someone put gorilla glue on my screw lol

[untold wigeon]

Not only that I bought the alumaze case as well

[hexed dragon]

just lubed my switches yesterday and it was such a pain, alumaze case comin tomorrow tho

the difference between lubed switches and stock is night n day tho

[untold wigeon]

I need all the help I can get tbh, I’ve tried the rubber band, different screw, idk any other way

That’s why I came here but at least you guys gave some input

[obsidian dagger]

gluing a screwdriver to a screw is an option

a risky and radical one

but it exists

[untold wigeon]

I mean it’s possible

I have like a very low res image of the screw and it seems like just scratched paint

It just doesn’t move

The screw driver fits but it just don’t budge

[old swallow]

my screw is stripped and i havent found a way yet, i probably have to drill it out

[untold wigeon]

I’m trying every option it I strip the screw to its core so help me God

[untold wigeon]

Which screw is it? Mine is the one under enter key

[old swallow]

yeah, same

[untold wigeon]

WHAAT

MY MOM GOT IT

[obsidian dagger]

typical mom buff

[untold wigeon]

I swear parents and grandparents always find a solution lmao

[old swallow]

what they do? and can you send her over?

[grizzled path]

go mom

[untold wigeon]

Longer handle helped for the grip and she had me push down on the opposite side of the keyboard

This screw worked

So if you got this just try with all your might and have someone hold the opposite side down

That’s at least what worked for me

[old swallow]

i might need to try a bigger handle, cause the one i was using was a very thin one, and i couldnt really grip it well

altough i am a bit worries that it is just stripped down too much from trying, so well see

[untold wigeon]

Yeah ours was a silver little screw driver that wouldn’t have good grip

[untold wigeon]

I mean I literally just went ham on it you’re probably don’t got a screwdriver with a big enough handle

But yeah be careful

[old swallow]

ill try it a bit later, but if it doesnt wok ill probably have to drill it out

[untold wigeon]

Seems like it’s that screw too

[old swallow]

which is gonna be tricky

[untold wigeon]

Yeah you can try that

What’s this?

[bronze grove]

Flip your PCB over and put them where you screw it into the case.

[untold wigeon]

So I don’t worry about those black rings?

Just some other mods I can do with it?

[bronze grove]

They are optional, yes.

[untold wigeon]

I put the foam that the alumaze came with but it seems the screw won’t reach where it’s supposed to

I’m following the tutorial you guys made on yt as well

Are they all the same size?

[lethal dove]

Have you installed the stand offs?

The little brass things

[untold wigeon]

What is a stand off…

I have the golden brass looking thing for the alumaze case

[untold wigeon]

This? This is all I can think of when you say stand off. Other than that I don’t have it

I mean we got 2 golden nuts

[pure herald]

@untold wigeon it's the 2 gold screws that comes with the other screws

[lethal dove]

Those

[untold wigeon]

Oh wrong angle

Poppies

How do we install those

New to all of this

[bronze grove]

You grab one and screw it in by hand near the spacebar.

Or don't. It's optional.

[gaunt linden]

Is this suppossed to replace burger mount?

[untold wigeon]

I don’t know lol

[untold wigeon]

Ty

It’s to short, is it because of the foam I added ??

I feel so dumb lol 😂

[bronze grove]

What is too short?

Words, you have them. Use them!

[grizzled path]

the word is too short

[untold wigeon]

Yeah my bad lol, the screw it almost seems like it’s to short

[bronze grove]

What screw, where.

[untold wigeon]

The golden screw I think it’s called a stand off?

[bronze grove]

Right. You're supposed to screw it into the case.

[untold wigeon]

The nut type screw doesn’t fit in the spacebar hole

[patent cradle]

Screws into the bottom of the case. Then the silver screw goes through the PCB to the gold standoff.

[untold wigeon]

Ohhh I’ve been doing it the wrong way around I’m so sorry 💀

[bronze grove]

Not at all. Here to help. 🙂

[grizzled path]

you working around the clock now?

[untold wigeon]

🤣

[bronze grove]

https://tenor.com/view/darkwing-duck-dramatic-entrance-ducktales-gif-20212478

[untold wigeon]

And the silver screw comes in the same packet yes? Or is it with the white head

[patent cradle]

I just used the silver screws that came in the packet. You could use the white-headed screws as well.

[untold wigeon]

Alright thanks

You guys are life savers

I feel like I’m playing operation

[bronze grove]

https://tenor.com/view/tick-tick-boom-gif-14000844

[grizzled path]

love to see it

[untold wigeon]

Is the other gold nut screw thing an extra

Or is that used as well

[bronze grove]

Not used for a 60HE.

[untold wigeon]

Alright thanks

And that means I’m finished, sure it was only a case but everyone starts somewhere

[grizzled path]

good job!

[wispy peak]

alumaze60
pc plate
lubed switches
greased stabs
band aid mod
f22 maxkey sa profile keycaps
3 layers tape mod

[untold wigeon]

ty

[untold wigeon]

ty

[untold wigeon]

it seems like the wooting armrest is shorter when you have the alumaze60 case

[wispy peak]

yeah its a bit shorter

[bronze grove]

It sits against the case instead of slightly overlaying it.

I personally didn't notice.

[wispy peak]

i meant length wise its a bit shorter than the case

[bronze grove]

Ah yeah. That's because of the accent piece and hook on the left side.

[untold wigeon]

doesnt bother me a armrest is an armrest

my sister pointed it out lol

[cunning cove]

Finally get to build in the alumaze60 tonight

[round horizon]

I'd like to replace it with a ceramic key cap on the wooting 60he.

But the space bar is heavy, so it won't go up.

So I'm trying to replace the keyboard spacebar shaft, and I'm trying to replace it with a cherry shaft with a spring that's over 60g,

so it's not compatible with wooting.

What spring am I compatible with the Wooting key?

What is the name of the spring above 60g compatible with the Wooting key?

[quiet bay]

People at cerakeys could help u with this

[round horizon]

cerakeys useing now

oh

[round horizon]

all right

[keen stratus]

Any mod recommendations for a Thocky sound for my 60HE? This is my first time modding a keyboard so I want to learn as much as I can before I actually do it

[normal schooner]

biggest impact would be buying the new plate

https://wooting.io/product/60he-pc-switch-plate

[keen stratus]

Should I wait for the module?

[normal schooner]

is this a new question?

[keen stratus]

[normal schooner]

i mean sure

[cunning cove]

Question

The silicone pads, do you put them above or below the foam?

Assuming below?

[cinder merlin]

put them on the PCB

where the screws would go

the underside of the pads is sticky, so just stick them to the pcb holes for the screw

[cunning cove]

Hmmm which foam to use

Stock 60he or alumaze foam

[untold wigeon]

the alumaze60 gold bras thing bside the shift tab and caps lock key is mandatory to have right?

[untold wigeon]

how you liking it? i got the same exact one and i am LOVINGG it

[cunning cove]

Still installing atm and not sure if I like the thicker foam from the plastic case more

@untold wigeon which foam did you go with?

[untold wigeon]

the oe that came in the package why

oh i used the one from the alumaze60 package

i didnt even notice a difference i just added it because it was there and i was like eh it might sound better

generally thicker foam sounds better right? thinner is better which i never knew thanks to Tenz in the living flesh #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[harsh dove]

👍

[untold wigeon]

never knew this woah

[fluid ravine]

im pretty sure the foam from the alumaze is the same from stock 60he
just specific cut for the alumaze

[cunning cove]

Mine isn’t there’s an extra layer on the top half

[untold wigeon]

yeah my foam thats pre installed in the wooting keyboard is more thicker near the number keys and thinner near the spacebar

[fluid ravine]

elaborate

[fluid ravine]

when did you get your alumaze

[untold wigeon]

it arrived today i was NA-rotation

[fluid ravine]

when did you order/

[untold wigeon]

gotta go check

[cunning cove]

@fluid ravine my 60he came from NA-sun batch and it has an extra layer for half the keyboard

[untold wigeon]

Sat, Oct 14, 6:10 PM PST

[cunning cove]

I wonder if it’s bc there’s more space in the plastic case

[fluid ravine]

ok cus the later batches of when you order got an update to the foam and all that

if i recall

[untold wigeon]

yeah no i didnt have this i remember struggling on getting the screw out under the enter key

OH MY WOOTING

[fluid ravine]

[loud zephyr]

They'll fit and even has ISO layout support

[untold wigeon]

dunno what that is but you made it sound like its even better to get them

but idk about $150

[loud zephyr]

But if you want weeb caps, allow me to introduce...

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/984799440072220692/1136776430257188974/81O5CCWllaS._AC_SL1500_.jpg?ex=65568d0d&is=6544180d&hm=47010b82c4c238f1bebf005b72fbe6d615dba51cb3c502bfa55f81ee9237f8c6&

[untold wigeon]

AH HELL NO 🤣

[loud zephyr]

[fluid ravine]

i remember this-

[loud zephyr]

A part of me still wants it BAD

[fluid ravine]

its been months-

lawd

GIVE HIM THE CAPS ALREADY

[loud zephyr]

Yeah, I wouldn't be paying Asus $150 for keycaps

[harsh dove]

^

[untold wigeon]

exactly

[cinder merlin]

get cerakeys

[harsh dove]

That price is def hiked up for the brand /collab

[cinder merlin]

if u want to drop 150 lol

[harsh dove]

Yeah or GMKs lol

[untold wigeon]

ill look into them

[harsh dove]

Unless you don’t like ABS

[untold wigeon]

def gonna buy them off a scalper or something

i dont like keys that feel slippery or smooth almost

the ones wooting come with are my go to

the 60he^

[cinder merlin]

ah then not cerakeys

yea just go w whatever u like

[harsh dove]

Yep

[mental hemlock]

aliexpress

[cinder merlin]

xD

[harsh dove]

[untold wigeon]

found one for 90$ on ebay

im just worried that ill get scammed

[cinder merlin]

90 for the eva ones?

[untold wigeon]

yeah

[cinder merlin]

ic

[untold wigeon]

its better than 160 with shipping

[cinder merlin]

yea

[gaunt linden]

Are GMK keycaps good?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

Just depends if you prefer PBT or ABS

[gaunt linden]

Tbh pbt

[cinder merlin]

are pricy as well

[harsh dove]

Yeah most prefer PBT

cause ABS shines

[gaunt linden]

I dont like the shine of abs

[harsh dove]

But some embrace the shine

[cinder merlin]

xD

[harsh dove]

Lmao

[untold wigeon]

are the keycaps the 60he uses abs?

[harsh dove]

It’s true

No

[gaunt linden]

Yea right now i have some real shiny abs ones😂

[cinder merlin]

pbt

[untold wigeon]

alr

[cinder merlin]

double shot

[gaunt linden]

I think for uk or some EU versions come with abs ones right? Or is it the Spanish one

Not sure but I know one version does come with abs but you can choose to get it without them if you don’t like abs

[untold wigeon]

if theyre smooth and feel slippery i dont like

i love the ones that are on the 60he so im guessing i love the pbt double shot

[cinder merlin]

pbt yea

abs degrade and get slippery over time

[gaunt linden]

Do you think epbt is better than doubleshot?

Or dyesub*

[cinder merlin]

havent tried those unfortunately

[untold wigeon]

😨

why is that on keycaps

ive only ever seen that in parking garages in LA

[raven tree]

i was just about to ask this haha

[loud zephyr]

I'd wait for black friday sales, should be some bargains on keycaps from most vendors

[raven tree]

what keycaps are supported on the wooting

[untold wigeon]

you want them too?

oh

[cinder merlin]

welp for waifus ig

[untold wigeon]

i just wanted them because i like the enter key and stuff

basically everything except the spacebar but yeah

thanks for answering my questions

[cinder merlin]

np np

[cinder merlin]

as long as u like it, that's what's most important

[untold wigeon]

true

[sweet oak]

Getting this set personally, dye-subbed pbt

[harsh dove]

[mental hemlock]

It is.

[fathom yoke]

[fathom yoke]

I have 2 acer nitro monitors and the stupid way the back is makes it so annoying to set the webcam on the monitor

water bottle to drink after sweating in copper lobbies

[fluid ravine]

[mental hemlock]

[fluid ravine]

I guess I'm too good

Aight ima go to sleep GN y'all
@mental hemlock keep roasting my setup

[stable kindle]

thats a Herman Miller Mira

[stable kindle]

this is the asethetics id like to go for

[mental hemlock]

wood is really nice

with a Terra Jade

[untold wigeon]

ill take up this offer

max i would ever spend on a desk remodel is like 1k

if i ever were to spend that much

what are some mods that are actually useful to keyboads? like does the tapemod actually work?

and im pretty scared to attempt lubing my keys but i will try it one day

[mental hemlock]

let me know whenever

[leaden pawn]

I lubed my switches immediately getting my 60HE, it was my first time ever lubing switches and it’s very beneficial. Just follow the Wooting lube guide and watch something for 3.5-4hours. The sound and feel is 100% worth the work/effort.

[untold wigeon]

did u buy the little packet for lubing on the wooting website?

[leaden pawn]

Yes, but I’ve seen others post ones you can get from Amazon/elsewhere that are theoretically the same.

[untold wigeon]

alrigh tthanks, might just buy one on amazon to not wait the possible month and a half like i did with my alumaze

(not saying the wait was bad it was pefectly worth it)

infact my little sister now wants to get a wooting and mod it

[loud zephyr]

When lubing do the opposite to this

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/736068583372750859/1099994884305342475/images20.jpg?width=886&height=498

Entirely up to you

[untold wigeon]

yeah i saw that and was dying because i know it should not be a pillar of lube

it should be a light brush of lube right?

just like painting almost

[loud zephyr]

Like restoring the Sistine Chapel; a little goes a long way

[harsh dove]

nah pillar of lube is ideal

[loud zephyr]

Finally got my plate but too lazy to fit it in. This might inspire me though

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTeWAOnKLs4

back to front spacebar though

[mental hemlock]

I know you understand.

[loud zephyr]

Solo zero build map is waaayy too big. I fall asleep midgame

Half Sword demo so much better

[fringe torrent]

nice

[gilded seal]

has anyone gotten the FR4 plate or the carbon fiber plate from KBDfans and used it on their wooting? how was it compared to the PC plate from wooting?

[untold wigeon]

what are the best mods you can do?

[fair mountain]

Mine arrived recently and I am very pleased with the quality
The combination with the black keyboard is perfect

[marble shuttle]

Omg i want it bro , iam wondering with grey tofu

[fair mountain]

If the keycaps are black, I think it would look cool with the gray tofu

[loud zephyr]

Re-lube switches and stabs, softer plate, burger o-ring mount and alu case. After that you can experiment with foam and tape.

[fringe torrent]

not a bad combo tbh

[marble shuttle]

🥰👍

[untold wigeon]

@fluid ravine

[fathom yoke]

i dont think they're gonna ship for atleast like 2 weeks tho from what i read about dhl having issues or something

[fringe torrent]

ya normally its like 1 to 2 weeks before they send them out but once dhl picks it up its pretty quick well at least for me

[fathom yoke]

yea dhl usually is pretty quick whenever i get things shipped via them

i ordered some new mouse skates for my starlight 12 too

[noble delta]

my fjell got here in 4 days

with DHL

[fringe torrent]

im still using the stock skates for the starlight

[noble delta]

And it looks like 4 days too with my Mekanisk foam from them too that comes friday

[fringe torrent]

for me out of the all the big couriers ups is the worse when it comes to shipping times compared to fedex and especially to dhl which normally has things within a few days to australia

[fathom yoke]

i ordered the tiger arc 2 skates

from what boardzy said they're similar to the stock skates but a lil smoother

[fringe torrent]

never tried those

i do have ice v2 dots on 2 vipers which i really like

still need to try the obsidian dots

[fathom yoke]

ive never tried aftermarket skates

[cyan adder]

@fluid ravine i have no fking idea how much polyfill I should put

It’s so bouncy that when I press spacebar the usb c doesn’t align anymore

Can you link me this tweet?

[glossy pagoda]

Thanks

[untold wigeon]

https://x.com/Pronin__/status/1721818951246639158?s=20 and the comment abt the 60 he

im rlly curious how these KS37 switches sound ngl

the stem looks rlly interesting

[lethal dove]

Wierd that they are creating new switcg designs that aren't compatible with each other, instead of refining one design

[untold wigeon]

that switch only works 1 keyboard iirc

this is normal vs the lekker too i think

its for higround of all things

[verbal folio]

try maybe compacting it more

[untold wigeon]

reduce it by like 60%

[cyan adder]

Really ?

It’s gonna be rly thin

[untold wigeon]

i mean if the thing barely fits in

and thats polyfill

u clearly have too fucking much in that fucker

[bright spruce]

Bruh 💀 screw down the screw by the port wtf

[cyan adder]

I don’t use any screw

M’y wooting isn’t tray mounted

It’s gummy o ring - gasket mounted

That’s why

[bright spruce]

Ah

[lunar sand]

uuuuu
just got the normal KS-20 White's to tryout
damn 😄 need to get these to try out in the future too

[untold wigeon]

KS 37 do not work with wooting

[lunar sand]

i know, but they will release a KS-20 with dual rails

[untold wigeon]

yes

[untold wigeon]

what do u think abt the white ks20s?

[lunar sand]

ahaha just received them 30 minutes ago 😄 i will install them during the afternoon, if my works allows me to have some free time and i will post a initial feedback on those

[untold wigeon]

do u have lubed lekkers or not?

[lunar sand]

yeah, i have lubed lekkers

[untold wigeon]

good

tell me how they are vs lubed lekkers

im guessing both lubed will be the same

[lunar sand]

had to do a "advanced" lubing on the lekers, because the initial light lubing didn't make a difference... now if you have the patience to lube everything, now that's a big difference 😄

[fallow hearth]

So the ks-20 are compatible with 60he?

[lunar sand]

yeah, but since i have the stock spring ... these ks's will be lighter for sure

[lunar sand]

always where 😄

[untold wigeon]

i lubed the rails the top of the spring and the stem with a light coat

bottom housing and bottom of the spring were heavy

thats how i did it

[lunar sand]

yeah, like me on the second run

😄

[untold wigeon]

i've been using them like that for 3 months and on some u can hear the spring noise really badly

[lunar sand]

did you bag lube the springs ?

[untold wigeon]

no

[lunar sand]

i did that too ...

[untold wigeon]

i went one by one by hand with 205g0

which is thicker than oil

[lunar sand]

i first bag lubed the springs and then added a good coat of lube on the top-ends of the spring

its pretty good

actually... i can't say how this will sound much better

lets see

[untold wigeon]

i dont think they'll sound better at all since its the same shit but different spring

they might even sound worse

before 205g0

[lunar sand]

lol exactly ... the only difference is that the ks-20 come prelubed ... but if i know how pre-lube works ...

[fallow hearth]

arent the lekker also pre-lubed?

[lunar sand]

its almost like someone sneezed from a distance into the switches

[fallow hearth]

factory lubed

[lunar sand]

my batch was not

but i have the wooting for some time now

[untold wigeon]

i mean mine was EU-Nevel batch and all of them were dryer than the sahara desert

[lunar sand]

i think only newer batches where pre lubed

i don't even know which batch was mine 😄

[untold wigeon]

the difference lubed vs stock was like spring noise+cheap plastic to a semi decent deep switch

[fallow hearth]

Yeah, saw something about gateron applying more lube at factory

about 2 months ago

iirc

[untold wigeon]

EU-Never was the shipped September batch

[fallow hearth]

Yeah and the changes might've happened immediately after

[lunar sand]

Mine is from March

[fallow hearth]

im not sure

im still waiting for my zonnestraal order

[untold wigeon]

Badseed tech found that the orange KS20s factory lube sounded better than his light hand lubing of the L60s

[fallow hearth]

so ill see how they are

[untold wigeon]

but mine arent lightly lubed not even close

[lunar sand]

yeah but light lubing does not work well on the lekkers ...

[fallow hearth]

Yeah badseed, and he mentioned that gateron would also apply that lubing "technique" to lekker

[lunar sand]

we need to go all in with lubing these mofo's

if you wanna feel and hear a good difference

[untold wigeon]

i dont even think the usual heavy lubing is heavy on these

the difference with proper lube was insane

it turned it into a completely different switch

[lunar sand]

one think i noticed ... is that using kryotox or g-lube ... gave more or less the same results ...

[untold wigeon]

glube is prob glorious rebranded 205g0

[lunar sand]

yeah, maybe ... but right now any lube is hard to find

weird shit

[untold wigeon]

really?

deltakeyco sells lube and is in stock

[lunar sand]

when the module comes available i will buy that and need to order some lube from wooting ... even if i don't use the stabs lube ... since i use dielectric ... but it's been super difficult to get an extra jar of lube... pff

[untold wigeon]

i find it easy to get lube

[lunar sand]

errr not anymore

i bought the last one i think 😄

ahhh nope

they still have the 5g

[untold wigeon]

they do

[lunar sand]

i bought the 10g and after i bought it it was out of stock

😄

[untold wigeon]

but 5 grams is nothing when u lube lekkers

[lunar sand]

yep... totally with you! lol

its a PITA

[untold wigeon]

im prob gonna order all the lubes

BDZ is expensive but i might try it on these plate mount stabs

[lunar sand]

all european stores i tried getting 205G0 from are very low or out of stock ... jeez

[fallow hearth]

Try Centorek.com

Shop based in Poland, ships to most of EU and outside as well

[untold wigeon]

i really dont want to spend money on the module and then literally have a steel plate 2 pc plates and 2 60 hes

[untold wigeon]

lets see it

they have 100g of 205g0

pls do not order all of it @lunar sand

[lunar sand]

ahahha 😄

lets do a run to see who gets there faster 😄

[lunar sand]

you mean 10g right 😄

[untold wigeon]

10 jars of 10g

[lunar sand]

LOL 😄 that's way too muchio ... i got 3 jars

i still have 2 here

its enough for 1 year i guess

i'm not buying switches all the time :d

although i also have 2 other customs that i do switch rolling more often

right now i have the ks-20 that i will lube ... and i have some Kailh switches that i'm testing on the other rig, to lube ... that's it for now

ehehhe

Btw, for those of you who also have normal mechanical switches on another keeb and really like silvers for gaming ... try the TTC Silver V2 ... lubed ... that's a freaking quick switch

not cheap but ... dang...

Lekkers are lekkers but ... those ttc's are something...

[normal schooner]

im curious how ks-20 switches will do now wooting released their own switches

[lunar sand]

?

wooting released new switches? which ones?

[normal schooner]

lekker 45

[polar girder]

Doesn’t Gateron still make the l45?

[normal schooner]

its the OEM

[bronze grove]

Yep.

Gateron makes all of our switches

[lunar sand]

But the 45 is not a new switch per say. Just different spring right ?

[polar girder]

And different color stem but yeah

It’s also been out for like 6 months or whatever

That’s why was confused lol

[plush tendon]

I don’t recommend buying the white keycaps. I LOVE the texture and feel of these and the black ones that come with. The black keycaps were perfect, but these white ones have super inconsistent width like something is going wrong with manufacturing them.

[lunar sand]

Me too 🤣

I was like “Uat!? What did I miss”

Before it was just the springs

Then they released the switch

[bronze grove]

I don't see anything here. Could you please make a thread over in #1141096226884956181 with some measurements or indicators of where you see the issue?

They definitely should be as identical as can be to the black ones, since it's the same mold.

[slow idol]

i also got those and no problem

[plush tendon]

Didn’t know this existed thank you.

[plush tendon]

Oh damn I was unlucky then.

[grizzled path]

are you talking about the LEGEND size, not keycap width?

[lethal dove]

same, I want a 60he pcb with pcb mounted stabs, but I dont need a pc plate and also dont need a 2nd pcb. Could put the original wooting back together and sell it 2nd hand, but there is the issue of me dremeling the pcb and loosing top row LED....

[rustic yacht]

for me the white caps are fine aswell

[plush tendon]

OMG im so unlucky then. I JUST got into keyboard modding and I bought two mats from a vendor I like. One of the mats is super messed up, so I just started assuming that everything in this industry is hit or miss.

[grizzled path]

could you clarify if you mean the legend size OR the keycap size? only thing I can really see is that the C legend is smaller than other legends

[lunar sand]

You won’t much options here. For it will be easier since I will just offer a keyboard to my kid eheh.

Common just release the module !!! Eheh

I got two because I’m building another custom with normal switches.

[round horizon]

I'm using Cerakey and I'm a ceramic keycap. But the spacebar is too heavy, so the key won't come up with the Wooting 60he default switch

I want to get a spring or switch over 70g compatible with the wooting 60he

How do I get it?

[weary tree]

That is hard to find

Needs to not interfere with magnets too

[lethal dove]

What you could try it cut one spring in half, then put 1 & 1/2 springs in one switch, dunno if it would be smooth, but could give it a try

I would put the 1/2 spring on the stem side

Or try cramming in a 45 and a 60 spring in one switch

Another option would be preloading the 60 spring, with like a nylon washer or a o ring that fits into the switch

[round horizon]

good idea

https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/comments/15tw25u/cerakey/

oh

good…

🤦‍♂️

[bronze grove]

[crimson sky]

What

That seems very stupid

[polar girder]

Just need Wooting to release compatible springs of every weight

[cyan summit]

honestly I don't think the spacebar is that heavy that the switch doesn't bottom out anymore. are you sure your stabs are tuned properly?

[lunar sand]

... what kind of mods did you do with your stabs?

too much lube?

holee mod went rogue?

fully stock?

[weary tree]

they said they were working on spring packs

[cyan summit]

#📦│batch_updates message

🗿

[harsh dove]

Didn’t know how many saw it so just thought I’d share here

🗿

[cyan summit]

[plush tendon]

the legends are messed up, its double shot obviously, so the white part overlaps agressively on the legends at random for all of them. It's easy to see in person. if you compare the % circles you will see they are drastically different and that's a common problem for all of them. It looks really wonku.

[weary tree]

from pictures youi took i can see what you are talking about

not even letters

[muted verge]

The spacebar on the wooting stock may i say is pretty smooth without any mods (from what keyboard i had)

[cyan adder]

Ok so it seems more thocky without the deskmat (I found out my wife’s phone microphone record better than mine)

Dang I’ve put too much polyfill but it’s so deep with a lot

Unbelievable

[marble shuttle]

👍

[noble delta]

I just got my fjell yesterday and lubed all of the switches and stabs but doesn’t sound the best since it is just lubing switches and stabs. I am waiting till the foam that comes this Friday. What else do I need to do make it sound good good. I don’t care if it is thocky or creamy!

Tape Mod with painters tape?? -> If yes how many layers?

[quiet bay]

Do the switch tape mod. It greatly helps the sound of the lekkers and makes it sound more solid on top of removing the "chattery" sound

#1166204178759176283 message

[noble delta]

o so

do i tape mod the whole thing?

and how many layers

[quiet bay]

nonono it's a different mod

[noble delta]

what 😡

[quiet bay]

instead of the pcb it's for the switch itself

[velvet egret]

Does anyone know the difference between fjell and klippe T case?

[noble delta]

explain sorry i’m knew to custom keyboards

[noble delta]

one is more premium

and one is cheaper but still good

[velvet egret]

What makes it more premium?

[quiet bay]

ok so tempest tape mod is taping the backside of the pcb

switch tape mod is taping the sliders of the top housing of the lekker switch

[quiet bay]

This explains it

switch tape mod was made for the lekker switches since it produced a "chattery" sound

[cyan adder]

In the video ive sent a bit earlier all the switches are switches tape modded with 2 layers of medical tape, If u wanna know what kind of sound u can aim with

[noble delta]

damn that looks like a lot of work going through every switch and using switch tape mod

[noble delta]

where?

[cyan adder]

Here

Note that my lube hasn’t break in fully yet, I lubbed my switches 4-5 days ago

But it’s a combination of multiples mods that will make you approach your ideal sound

[noble delta]

what mods did you do

i like that sound

it is thocky

what is the zeal plate mount

i like your sounding or something like this

https://youtu.be/mG-y4KcAHs0?si=dqrPYpLr1yEZ-L8S

this sounds really high piched; nothing close to thock actually

i will try to get you another recording when my children get to sleep

[noble delta]

thank you for very much!

I will really like that

[cyan adder]

i thhink u will really like tenz mod

[polar girder]

Good for stabs?

[noble delta]

What I did for now is I lubed everything with Krytox 205G0

[cyan adder]

u dont need a serynge for stabs actually

just lube generously the wires with grease

[noble delta]

No I did everything by hands yesterday bro LOL

[cyan adder]

and the housing with 205g0

[noble delta]

Like I took apart the switched with

a screw driver

[cyan adder]

i was spreaking to bigsly^^

[polar girder]

Need syringe

[noble delta]

ah

[polar girder]

Whoops laggy lol

[noble delta]

You can send it to my dms later

[polar girder]

Ok yeah idk much

[noble delta]

what is tenz mod btw?

[cyan adder]

check little tenz mod in woostations

[polar girder]

Switch tape mod maybe lol

Homie made it all the rage

I kind of want to try oiling springs with a brush

Don’t trust bag lubing them. Am I crazy?

[cyan adder]

your oil will drop from brush xd

[polar girder]

Just a wee bit.

[quiet bay]

Save yourself some time and go with bag lubing even if you don't trust it

[polar girder]

Ok, boss

[cyan adder]

i mean bag lubing (if done properly) really evenly spread the lube

[polar girder]

Ok gotcha. I’ll have to watch some video

After I get module I’ll do the whole thing

[cyan adder]

really i did it and i had 0 issues with my springs since the begenning

[polar girder]

Even switch tape I think

Have to buy that tape too

[cyan adder]

switch tape is rly worth it

if u chasing a particuilar sound

im even wondering to go 3rd layer now xd

i got the deep thock now

[quiet bay]

Good luck.

[cyan adder]

i think my switches pad will make the sound more solid

[quiet bay]

Im loving 3 layers rn

[polar girder]

Thanks I have to learn more first cuz Ive been putting it off

[quiet bay]

It made my wooting sound more solid

[cyan adder]

im a bit scared i have to re lube all my top housings after adding a last layer

[polar girder]

But impending module drop means the time is nigh

[cyan adder]

i only have 3 layers on my spacebar

u dont need to wait the module for switches tape modding

[quiet bay]

I have a quick way of lubing the sliders without taking the switches out

[cyan adder]

u can just pre mod ur switchers

oh nice tirade is back

[quiet bay]

get tweezers, push the switches down, get your brush lube and get it in there

[stray tiger]

Almost back from vacation. Hope you guys are behaving!

[quiet bay]

Yes sir no problems..yet!

[cyan adder]

gotta say thanks to you tirade and to @fluid ravine @quiet bay u 3 guys have inspired me so much to mod my wooting and im so glad i did

[cyan adder]

not bad

i was thinking about it actually

but you will touch any part that is in contact with keycaps after that

[polar girder]

Yeah I almost went this route but really want springs lubed.

[cyan adder]

with the brush

well no big deal

i prefer to open it

[quiet bay]

since you might do a 3rd layer you can just lube it while ur doing it :v

[polar girder]

So three layers of tape on the inside of the upper housing?

[cyan adder]

yeah thats what i did on my last 20 switches

i realized mid way that i needed to do it

ahah

[polar girder]

On each side? That’s nutty lol

[cyan adder]

well its almost done now. Just gotta receive XHT DBZ for my stabs, + switches pads + films + plate pads and im done modding int

will never touch it again

[cyan adder]

yeah

actually when ur fingers got the trick

its pretty fast

just repeat repeat

only struggle is sometimes u cut too short or too long the tape

[quiet bay]

I say that and then I proceed to eventually take the pcb out like 5 times

[cyan adder]

u need to readjust

[cyan adder]

yeah bro ive actually probably take it out 20 times today

just to test the amount of polyfill to put inside the case

but its fking easy to pull it and out with the gummy o ring

especially 30A

no more screws

i just wanna maybe try moleskin

but since no one has experienced it on wooting yet

i dont wanna risk it

[polar girder]

Can’t wait for 60HE PRO with new updated lekker switches

[cyan adder]

is this confirmed?

[polar girder]

No I just made it up

Gateron has to care enough to design and manufacture a new HE for it to be a thing

Until Wooting comes full circle and starts making their own Lekker Lekkers

[fluid ravine]

Sorry I can't answer your dms rn

At school
Will be home prob in 50 mins

[gaunt linden]

Hey I wanted to ask you if you don’t mind, the other day you said you put 3 layers of tape inside the switch so it doesnt sound chattery, but do you lube that part or just tape and lube the rest like normal?

[fluid ravine]

Hi (●’◡’●)ﾉ tirade
Thanks for the case again
Am enjoying it.

[shrewd bison]

Just got my alumaze and pc plate. What are these washer/o rings for?

[quiet bay]

2 layers of tape is enough to remove the chatteriness
3 layers of tape makes the switch sound solid and removes the majority of the upstroke sound

I put on the tape and then lubed the tape so that it can have a smooth actuation when I put it back together

[fringe torrent]

they go around the screw hole on the pcb

that comes in contact with the case standoff

[quiet bay]

isnt that for burger mounting

[shrewd bison]

Okay thanks:)

[fringe torrent]

which colour alumaze did you get ?

[patent cradle]

As @fringe torrent mentioned - just to make less noise/contact between the PCB and the standoffs.

[shrewd bison]

Concrete

[fringe torrent]

awesome choice

[shrewd bison]

It’s a lot more gray in person than it is in pictures, but the texture is great. I dig it for sure!

[shrewd bison]

That’s what I figured but was thrown off since there are 10 lol

[quiet bay]

extras just in case

[polar girder]

Stand off > o-ring > PCB > o-ring > screw

x5

[gaunt linden]

Does it feel like a tactile like that?

[shrewd bison]

Yeah I just figured I’d run each side

[patent cradle]

Thankfully Wooting likes providing us with extras (i.e. screws, switches, etc.).

[quiet bay]

Nope feels buttery smooth right after you lube the surface of the tape

just make sure the tape is flat on the sliders

[gaunt linden]

Did you lube it with 205?

[fringe torrent]

i only installed the underside of it never bothered with the top part

[quiet bay]

yeah

[cyan adder]

@quiet bay do your bottom layer keys are sounding more thocky than others key ? Mine are fking thocky at the bottom layer, like 10x more than the other layers

Control / windows / alt ect..

[quiet bay]

mine are like a deep click

[stray tiger]

Glad it arrived safely and worked out!

[cyan adder]

idk why they so deep

[gaunt linden]

Okay my friend, when I start doing it I’ll make sure to send you a pic of the process to make sure I’m not doing it wrong yea?😂

[quiet bay]

ye sure ofc

[gaunt linden]

Thank you so much

[fluid ravine]

Mines are fkin weird

Pingy cus of the ALU case
But I'm pretty sure cus I put pads at the post so it's really not cases fault.

Yeah ima do my project for a little bit then start to work on my wooting again
Try to figure some shit out

Space bar wire is killing me

[quiet bay]

same but good thing I only press it in the middle so I don't hear the left and right's unevenness

[mental hemlock]

It's ti-

[spice herald]

I feel like I lubed tf out of my switches compared to other builds I’ve done but I still feel like the switches need more 🙃

[noble delta]

Is it just me or

The foam that comes with the wooting can't be put in the fjell

cause the USB c port will be higher than the cut out

[fringe torrent]

did you pull the foam apart

[noble delta]

O?

[fringe torrent]

the stock one is 2 pieces

held by double sided tape

[noble delta]

OOOOOOOOOOOO

is that it

[fringe torrent]

but does the fjell even need the foam

that case is meant to sound great

[noble delta]

Or do you think I should wait for the foam that comes friday

[fringe torrent]

one of the nicer sounding 60% cases

[noble delta]

I bought one from mekanisk

[fringe torrent]

if you're planning on using that just wait

[noble delta]

that fits perfectly in it I think no?

[fringe torrent]

its made for that case then it should fit perfectly

[quiet bay]

to reduce the pinging probably

[noble delta]

nice

[fringe torrent]

https://youtu.be/H4HGcp0HQH8

https://youtu.be/aeqnEJpPZVY

[noble delta]

for this one what is o ring burger do

[fringe torrent]

just isolates the pcb from the standoffs and screws

[fluid ravine]

interesting..

[cyan adder]

Idk why my Ctrl windows alt fn keys are deeeeply thock compare to the rest of the keyboard

actually loving it, how to make all my other keys that much thocky xd

[fluid ravine]

@cyan adder

i added an insane amount of polyfill (Like filled filled)

module got raised by a mm

[cyan adder]

more thock?

[fluid ravine]

im not really happy with my wooting right now (comparing to others)
but i will keep working on it when i have the chance

[fluid ravine]

i have no clue

[cyan adder]

how is the usb port right now

when i press the spacebar too heavy

[stable kindle]

how does that effect the typing feel? there more flex when typing? the sound makes me ears leak precum

[cyan adder]

im scared it could bend the usb c cable actually

[fluid ravine]

ayo 😂

[cyan adder]

dude it align perfectly

its pretty hard for me to make it align on the tofu redux

i got exactly same sound than you IRL exept its less deeper

bc i only put 2 layers of switch tape mod and 2 layers of tempest and u do 1 i guess

i need to tune my stabs

they r fking bad

why arent you happy

what are u planning to fix actually

[fluid ravine]

the typing feel.... its like a hard trampoline as expected but alot better than stock tray mount type shit.
and no there's no "flex" since the plate is screwed into the pcb.
The sound is amazing yes i agree, but i dont remember what kind of sound profile i really liked back then

i just lost my sense of sound profiles
i dont even know what thocc is anymore 💀

[cyan adder]

i started with rly low a,ount of polyfill

and add a little more by little more to test it

[fluid ravine]

i honeslty dont know what im not happy with

[cyan adder]

i start to experiment a little bit what u feel

were modding so much

that we are completly lost on what we wants

huh

im puttting in and out my pcb like 50 times a day

[fluid ravine]

speaking my language

[cyan adder]

even just my alt+tab feels and sound amazing tbh

[fluid ravine]

damn

[cyan adder]

its normal man ive been inspired by you

thing is my main problem is that only my bottom layer (alt ctrl windows spacebar fn) keys are sounding like i want

🤣

[fluid ravine]

they broken in yet?

[cyan adder]

i dont even think they do

i dont use them alot

its only been 5 days since i lubed and it dont use the keyboard that much per day

but my "Q" key bro

it sounds clacky

wtf

my only key that sounds clack

[stable kindle]

YO 60 MODULE when !

[cyan adder]

ive tried replaced it with another switches that comes from another key which is thock

doesnt change

[harsh dove]

Yikes

[cyan adder]

maybe because its near the hole for screw?

[lilac island]

Sup peeps how we all doing tonight !!!

[cyan adder]

or the usb port?

[fluid ravine]

i havbe no clue but it should be this month

[stable kindle]

another night waiting for the 60 module is how im doing sir

[cyan adder]

@harsh dove thock !

[fluid ravine]

i need someone to do my project so i can figure out what i dont like from my wooting :D

[stable kindle]

thanks

[fluid ravine]

mhm

[lilac island]

lol your wooting sounds great i just listedn to your video !

[stable kindle]

i have a feeling its gonna be on the 30th

[harsh dove]

I feel at a certain point, mods can become over engineered , redundant, or give little to no gain or even in some cases worse performance

[lilac island]

it will be worth the wait !!

[harsh dove]

Less is more as they say

[fluid ravine]

thank you

[fluid ravine]

nah shouldnt be that long..

[cyan adder]

i think u actually are the best sounding wooting in this server in term of thock lol

[lilac island]

i put like 10 layers of tape under my space bar and it thocks so hard now !!!

[stable kindle]

so if i order the 60 module should i order the 45 lekker or the gators?

[cyan adder]

yikes

10 layers xd

[stable kindle]

if i get the lekkers do i have to relube em?

[cyan adder]

for a better experience u problably should

[lilac island]

ill send sound clip in a few mins

[fluid ravine]

crazy thanks!
Back then I remember @marble shuttle saying i was destined to clack whatever mods i do
