i dont game much now i mainly use keyvboard for coding and typing

#

I used to play CS and a bit of valorant and COD but stopped playing for a while now

@fluid ravineso what switches do you prefer for val?

lilac island
#

im doing more data science so i work with python and SQL

fluid ravine
lilac island
#

yeah try them out see which one you like best

fluid ravine
#

personally im more on the heavy sided so i keep that 60's

stable kindle
#

i thought thats what the difference was between the lekker 60 and 45s and the gators

fluid ravine
#

but i prefer it a little bit heavier like 65 then that would be perfect to me

stable kindle
#

the difference in the spring stiffness

stable kindle
#

or am i wrong

fluid ravine
#

l60's are 60 grams
l45's are 45 grams

weary tree
#

box stem

#

not ks20

stable kindle
#

what are the springs waiting for

fluid ravine
stable kindle
lilac island
weary tree
#

but on same page there is this so idk

stable kindle
#

lol just messing with you

fluid ravine
weary tree
#

would be good if it was

stable kindle
#

@fluid ravine so different weights on the spring wouldnt that translate to how light or heavy you have to press to depress the switch?

weary tree
#

that means we can buy their springs

lilac island
stable kindle
#

@fluid ravineso you swapped out the lekker 65 springs with one thats is 60g?

loud zephyr
weary tree
#

well if they are ks20 they should fit

stable kindle
#

what about sound wise? which one has more thoccccc?

weary tree
#

its the same as l60

harsh dove
#

Alumaze will finally be here Friday so I can hopefully have a good weekend after a shitty week

stable kindle
#

lighter or heavier? i feel like heavier would have more thocc?

lilac island
stable kindle
#

i can only imagine how thicc this mans finger tendons are

fluid ravine
#

im using the stock l60's

exotic plaza
#

Just watches some reviews and the switches definitely are box stem

#

On the a75

fluid ravine
#

im just saying if there was a 65 i would love it to perfection

stable kindle
#

@fluid ravineo i see, im an idiot

lilac island
exotic plaza
#

I wonder who makes them and if any of the parts are compatible with lekkers

fluid ravine
weary tree
#

i like heavy srpings for typing

loud zephyr
#

Bro, 69 is going to revolutionize the switch industry

fluid ravine
#

or technically the lekkers themselves

exotic plaza
stable kindle
#

so its just a matter of time someone comes out with all sorts of different springsd for the lekker?

lilac island
#

please link switches if they are heavier than the l60s !!!!

#

i need !!

#

xD

fluid ravine
#

ong :<

stable kindle
#

i did see that wooting sold springs originally, why the hell did they pull it?

stable kindle
fluid ravine
#

kinda weird how my akko v3 yellow creams feels a bit heavier than my l60's although they're 50 grams

lilac island
fluid ravine
stable kindle
#

can you use ceramic keycaps on the lekkers?

exotic plaza
# lilac island which switches are these ?

I’m talking about the switches on the drunkdeer a75, I don’t think there’s any way to buy them on their own and I have no idea if they are compatible with wooting

fluid ravine
exotic plaza
#

Maybe I’ll buy it and test it 👀

fluid ravine
#

hang on lemme get somebody

#

@neat path

#

CERAKEY SERVICE PLEASE

weary tree
#

its what they are called

fluid ravine
#

@teal quiver YOU TOO IF YOU'RE ONLINE

weary tree
#

not ks20

#

dont think the springs fit

#

and the magnet is slightly off center

teal quiver
#

Hi yes what are your ceraquestions

weary tree
loud zephyr
#

I hope papa Geon comes with the goods with his Raptor switches, noice colours. HE not yet released

teal quiver
#

Spacebar returns perfectly acceptably on L45s

loud zephyr
fluid ravine
neat path
teal quiver
#

For the L60 switches I can definitely second that, though I haven't had a 1:1 comparison of cerakeys vs other keycaps on the L45s

neat path
#

Rebecca recommands 60g for the spacebar (even if it works with lighter springs) and they provide Kailh box yellow 80g iirc but it's too heavy for my taste

exotic plaza
#

Ok yeah I highly doubt these “raesha” switches are compatible in any way

teal quiver
#

I do think the 60g spacebar recommendation has some merit, my spacebar does feel noticeably lighter than other keys. That's to my taste but YMMV; I also have my spacebar actuation set higher than the rest of my keyboard so I've already been after a more responsive spacebar lol.

One quirk I've noticed with the cerakeys, with L60s and L45s (though more pronounced on the latter), is that the spacebar will tend to actuate when the keyboard is set down, if it's not being set down quite gently. Given that my build is heavy af that's hard to do. Doesn't really matter, doesn't affect real use, but just kind of an interesting aside.

lilac island
#

The cerakeys actually sound pretty sick !

lilac island
untold wigeon
#

40a might be what im settling on

fluid ravine
#

between 30 and 50
so why not

untold wigeon
#

for the little feets that come with the alumaze 60, do they elevate the keyboard higher?

haha totally
lemme just grab somebody's wooting and grab all my modding materials and bring it to school and mod the living hell out of it for 12 hours

I thought tenz was saying it was budget lol

surreal linden

if $200+ is cheap for you

#

then its budget ig lol

gaunt linden
#

Naaaa lol

#

Does someone know any good set with japanesse legends? BOW

pale aspen
#

get GMK for gaming keyboard is bad idea

#

shine will be ugly

#

also if you dont mind XDA , try to look on ali express

surreal linden
#

i mean you could use gmk for gaming but wear gloves while using it lol

#

cause im pretty sure the shine is from the oil on your fingers

mental hemlock
#

gloves? fuck that lol

surreal linden
#

lmao

untold wigeon
#

man finally relubed all my switches following the actual lekker video

#

what a difference

surreal linden
#

it took me 12 hours 💀

untold wigeon
#

it took me a little over 3 hours

surreal linden
#

how fast were you going?

untold wigeon
#

i just opened them up and added the extra lube to the top of the housing and the bottom housing

surreal linden
#

wait you didnt lube the springs?

#

or stem?

untold wigeon
#

i had already hand lubed the other parts like the rail spring etc

surreal linden
#

o i see

#

ig it took me 12 hours cause i had to do the foam and build everything

#

and had no clue what i was doing too lol

untold wigeon
#

ahh i see

#

At this rate I'm just waiting for my case my gummy oring and my cerakeyd

#

And I think it's done

gaunt linden
#

GMK doesnt have pbt or it also shines after some use?

surreal linden
#

i think it shines after some use

gaunt linden
#

I did not know that Thank you

surreal linden
#

i just got mine like 3 days ago

#

so im not sure lol

gaunt linden
#

And did you get some shine already?

surreal linden
#

no

#

its perfectly fine actually

#

like brand new

gaunt linden
#

Niceeee

surreal linden
#

i think i still got the picture somewhere in here

#

lemme find it

untold wigeon
#

Yes it's abs but I don't think youll get shine for a while

surreal linden
#

yea i used abs before for my old keyboard

#

it took like 2 years for a shine

untold wigeon
#

It takes some serious use, I've been fps gaming on my sa and they only started to shine after 2 years

untold wigeon
#

Yea around that time lmao

#

Mostly my wasd e r and q

surreal linden
#

yea

untold wigeon
#

And one side of my space bar

#

And shift

surreal linden
#

for me its mostly z and x

#

cause of osu lol

#

oh yea heres my keyboard

untold wigeon
#

Now with Val I feel like half of my keys started shining

surreal linden
#

tbh though the shine isnt too bad

#

like if you dont have a flashlight shining onto it

#

then you wont see it

untold wigeon
#

I have a before and after I lubed the bottom and top of the switch housing

#

And wow

gaunt linden
untold wigeon
#

Don't mind my terrible phone audio

surreal linden
#

i basically have never used a pbt for a long time

#

so idk how much better pbt is

#

but i prefer the abs feeling better than pbt

#

and it sounds better in my opinion

surreal linden
#

my sounds really similar too

surreal linden
untold wigeon
#

No I believe these are enjoybpt

surreal linden
#

o

#

i see

gaunt linden
#

I guess the shine isn’t that noticeable in other colores that isn’t black right

untold wigeon
#

Yea I had bought my set of gmk striker for 99 off of novelkeys

gaunt linden
#

Colours*

untold wigeon
#

But never used them so I sold

surreal linden
gaunt linden
#

I might buy some from GMK then lol in white

surreal linden
#

nice

untold wigeon
#

I went for cerakeyd

surreal linden
#

which one you thinking of?

untold wigeon
#

But I've heard the v1s has some issues

#

So I'm very scared

surreal linden
#

whats that?

#

o nvm

#

i read it wrong lol

untold wigeon
#

V1 cerakeys

surreal linden
#

o

untold wigeon
#

You're good

surreal linden
#

very glossy

untold wigeon
#

Yea they are ceramic

#

Very nice sound profile to them

surreal linden
#

ye

untold wigeon
#

But they are heavier

surreal linden
#

but i heard they are pretty heavy right?

surreal linden
#

so l45 lekker might not work with it

untold wigeon
#

I stuck with l60 that came with the keyboard

surreal linden
#

ah i see

untold wigeon
#

It should work but I may have to get a special 80 spring

#

If anything

surreal linden
#

80g springs?

loud zephyr
#

Not mine but the shine looks nice, just gotta use it enough for the shine to be uniform

surreal linden
#

ig its better for typing ig

surreal linden
#

can you even get rid of the shine?

loud zephyr
#

no idea

surreal linden
#

im looking online and it seems you can

mental hemlock
#

turn your ordinary ABS keycaps into ceramic keycaps with this one simple trick

surreal linden
#

A is restored

#

and the W isnt

surreal linden
#

the bottom looks brand new wth

loud zephyr
#

those keycaps were once white or beige and the owner drove a car like the Flintstones

surreal linden
#

lol

untold wigeon
#

Man was smoking near his keyboard

surreal linden
#

i mean

#

unless man just got those keycaps off the 1980s pc

#

ok wait these are whiter than the ones above

static root
#

Anyone can help with all of these? xD

loud zephyr
#

That tkl is one of best designs ever imo, check out that concave

#

I have no idea where to get the burger mount mod materials

surreal linden

surreal linden

cause idk if the other springs will be compatitble with the lekkers

surreal linden
static root
surreal linden
static root
#

I don't see it

surreal linden
static root
#

I thought those were just the switches

surreal linden
#

well they got 45g springs

#

so thats what i got

#

cause i didnt want to risk it

surreal linden
#

but i think some other people here have different springs

untold wigeon
#

Or you join the gummy oring cult

surreal linden
untold wigeon
#

Burger mount is only for people who enjoy suffering

static root
surreal linden
#

i mean you can burger mount and gummy oring it

static root
#

sorry I'm new to this but thank you guys so much

surreal linden
#

hold on

untold wigeon
#

It's a huge ass oring that goes around the PCB

#

It fits between the plate and the PCB

static root
#

what the hell is pcb

untold wigeon
#

The "motherboard" of the keyboard

#

That you put your switched and plate on

static root
#

I'm guessing o-rings are small for individual keys and gummy o rings suppose to be big for the whole keyboard?

surreal linden
#

here

surreal linden
untold wigeon
#

Yea the oring for the burger mount are for the screw holes

#

And the gummy oring is a huge one that goes around the whole keyboard itself

surreal linden
#

ye

#

so the pcb touches the case and stuff

#

friction

surreal linden
#

for the case

#

its really good

static root
#

in your guys opinion

surreal linden
loud zephyr
surreal linden
#

gummy most impactful

static root
#

is it good for osu as well?

surreal linden
#

wdym?

#

the wooting?

#

or the mod?

static root
static root
#

I'm gonna mod my wooting so

untold wigeon
#

I mean you can do both but you don't screw in with the gummy oring if I'm not mistaken

loud zephyr
mental hemlock
#

gummy mounting is the second most useful, besides lubing

surreal linden
# static root both

i mean lighter springs like the lekker l45 can be better for fatigue in streams

#

but other mods is just for sounds

#

i have the l45 rn

static root
untold wigeon
#

I want to try l45s but I don't want to relube and tape a whole new batch of switches

surreal linden
#

and i feel like its better than the l60

untold wigeon
#

Don't say that

untold wigeon
#

No no

#

I don't want to hear it

#

I don't want to be tempted

loud zephyr
surreal linden
#

this what i bought for gummy o ring

#

its amazon for canada so find it for your country

untold wigeon
#

Let's go Canada Amazon

#

My kind of Amazon

loud zephyr
#

bro's head is gonna explode before he even pulls the keyboard apart

surreal linden
static root
static root
#

should I do the whole keyboard with o rings?

#

except for the space bar

loud zephyr
untold wigeon
#

Yea you'll be good with 30 I'd that's the min you can get

#

No no the orings aren't for the switches

mental hemlock
surreal linden
static root
#

the hell does o rings do

surreal linden
#

i think theres only like 6 screws

static root
#

I already forgot

loud zephyr
untold wigeon
#

So I went for those

static root
surreal linden
#

wooting has a video on it

static root
#

I think I'm getting mixed up

#

so gummy mounting doesn't need o rings?

#

do I need o rings/

#

orings = burger mount

surreal linden
#

no gummy mount is a big o ring

#

where the buger mount is a small o ring

static root
#

O

#

ok that make sense

surreal linden
#

gummy goes around your pcb

static root
#

you guys talk about two different mountings

surreal linden
#

and the burger goes around the screws

static root
#

so should I buy orings for burger mount or the oring for gummy?

surreal linden
#

gummy better from what i heard

loud zephyr
#

Just do these: lube, pc plate and case swap. If ya wanna do more then do o-rings, burger rings, cheetoh rings later

surreal linden
#

yea

#

just see how it sounds first

static root
#

the hell is cheetoh rings

loud zephyr
surreal linden
#

meme

static root
#

bro im new

#

yall can't bully the freshmen on this :(

#

anyways

#

sure

loud zephyr
#

I was hoping you wouldn't notice the Cheetoh's lol. It's a packet of chips

static root
#

oh, how do I grease the damn stabilizers

surreal linden
loud zephyr
#

sundried cheetoh's

surreal linden
static root
#

I have the grease

#

do I just take apart the stablizers

#

or

surreal linden
#

on lubing switches

static root
#

ah ok ok

surreal linden
#

they have stabilizers in there

static root
#

Alright thanks

#

oh and @surreal linden which springs should I get the 45 or 50 one

surreal linden
#

45g is ligher

#

so better for osu

#

the l60 comes with stock wooting though

#

so you can test it out and see if you like that

static root
#

oh I meant 45

#

sorry

#

xD

gaunt linden
#

Hey yall i just wanted to ask, is the pcb supposed to not touch the foam right ?

static root
#

how many should i get?

cinder merlin
surreal linden
#

then you can do 70 pack

#

since keyboard has like 62 keys

#

but if you only want your z and x keys l45

#

then you can get 12 pack

untold wigeon
#

hentai is free, you dont need keycaps for it

ngl all the anime keycaps are kinda mid

static root
#

what kind of tape should I use again?

untold wigeon
#

WOB is king

loud zephyr
#

and they cost a lot, well the Asus one I saw was like over 200

surreal linden
#

like the paper one

#

you can ripe it easily

#

im pretty sure you will have that tape at home

cinder merlin
#

barely use it at all

surreal linden
#

i needed it for school

cinder merlin
#

put three layers + burger mount today

true patrol
#

the tofu redux works quite well for the wooting, finally got it delivered. I will say if you get it, move the stock wooting foam over to it, the super thin "foam" that comes with it leaves a LOT to be desired

surreal linden
#

i also put three layers

untold wigeon
#

sometimes more is worse

cinder merlin
surreal linden
cinder merlin
#

it felt about the same

true patrol
loud zephyr
surreal linden
untold wigeon
#

in the original case 1 and 4 layers sounded the deepest

surreal linden
#

like stock tofu foam

#

and wooting?

true patrol
#

no

surreal linden
#

how did that fit?

true patrol
#

just the wooting

surreal linden
#

o i see

#

i did that

cinder merlin
true patrol
#

and I didn't get the brass weight, so there is a little room for the foam

untold wigeon
surreal linden
#

i tried only wooting foam

#

and its not as good as the half wooting and stock tofu

untold wigeon
#

the alumaze comes with its own foam? @cinder merlin

cinder merlin
#

yes

surreal linden
#

you can test it out if you want to though

untold wigeon
#

good

cinder merlin
#

thinner foam i think

untold wigeon
#

did u use it

cinder merlin
#

yes

#

using it rn

true patrol
#

honestly I wish more boards had room for it, in my saka68 I used some very thick and heavy car speaker sorbothane called boom mat. Sounds absolutely amazing

untold wigeon

nice

untold wigeon
#

what the fuck

loud zephyr
true patrol
#

you ain't from delaware if you ain't had this

huh?!

surreal linden
#

bruh i thought he did that lol

untold wigeon
#

who made this

cinder merlin
#

wooting has like a series

loud zephyr
untold wigeon
#

i hope its not Sander

cinder merlin
#

what u can do with ur wooting kb

#

they planted like grass in it

#

as well

true patrol
#

not having frosted mini wheats

unacceptable

cinder merlin
#

pcb removed ofc

untold wigeon
#

pcb stays on

#

idc

cinder merlin
#

kekw

loud zephyr
#

and this is how you lube your spacebar with peanut butter

surreal linden
#

how much do you think stock wooting keycaps cost?

#

wait wth

#

they $53?

loud zephyr
#

pretty good for a full kit

surreal linden
#

yea ig

#

i think i bought my old keycaps for $40

#

and it was really good

true patrol
#

compared to higher end keycaps, $53 for 108 shinethrough doubleshots of this quality level is pretty on the mark. They aren't ePBT/GMK/CRP level of "high quality", and the market of shinethrough keycaps has been pretty saturated this last year

surreal linden
#

yea

#

my gmk keycaps shine through if i set my brightness to 100%

true patrol
#

lol

surreal linden
#

wait do yall keep your brightness 100%?

#

cause i swear i can see the keyboard more than my monitor if i do that

loud zephyr
#

I don't use rgb much these days but I used to run it around 60% with stock caps

surreal linden
#

i see

#

i use a little bit of rgb

#

otherwise it doesnt match my background

true patrol
#

I got this board knowing I was going to put non shinethrough caps on it and would be using it for games
Personally I don't like rgb in the first place so the first thing I did was enable tachyon and disable all lights

surreal linden
#

tbh idk what tachyon mode really does

#

its already at 2ms no?

true patrol
#

changes polling from 500hz to 1000hz

surreal linden
#

wait wth

#

lemme try

#

can you feel the difference?

true patrol
#

for 99% of people (me included), no

surreal linden
#

o bruh

#

well is there a point?

true patrol
#

it's just for the reliability of knowing it's working as fast as it can
inputs go through as fast as they can, even if you can't feel the difference

surreal linden
#

oh

#

i feel like it will kill the keyboard faster in the long run though

#

since it has to use more energy

true patrol
#

it doesn't use more power, because when it's on you can't use rgb effects (only static lights) and max brightness is limited

surreal linden
#

yea but compare it to static lights no tachyon

true patrol
#

and technically with no moving parts that actually make contact with each other, this board should be able to last forever, save for maybe replacing the switches one day if the springs wear down or the housings get worn out

surreal linden
#

ah yea your right

true patrol
#

for me the only "downsides" to having it on are disabling things I wanted disabled in the first place, so it's an easy pick. But realistically, no human is going to truly feel the difference and if anyone says they can that isn't a professional gamer (talking top 1% of pros), they're probably full of shit

surreal linden
#

yea even pros though

#

no way you can feel a 1ms difference

#

especially when human reactions are like 150ms

true patrol
#

v true, just leaving room for error in my statement in case there is some freak of nature out there who can 😆

surreal linden
#

if 1ms saves you then thats just rng

untold wigeon
#

I think having any sort of ms difference helps

#

Once we react technically something with a faster response time should help

surreal linden
#

yea

untold wigeon
#

Its super small but all these micro differences should add up

#

Without the copiem orc

surreal linden
#

yall wanna try this too?

#

wtf

kind kite
#

Hello, I've got a question, I've recently bought GATERON KS-20 switches but I hate the orange top housing, Is it possible to swap the housing with the Lekker 60?

#

Im kinda new to this keyboard modding stuff, I dont really know who to ask about this

surreal linden
#

they look really similar

true patrol
#

It's also the case of frame update time vs input time. at 144hz, you have 6.9ms between each frame. So if your input comes in 1ms later, you COULD end up with another ~7ms before you see the input happen because it has to wait for the next frame.

And our subconscious reaction isn't always the same as visual reaction time:

Tests with Air force pilots have shown, that they could identify the plane on a flashed picture that was flashed only for 1/220th of a second. That is identifying. So it's pretty safe to say, that recognizing, that SOME light was there is possible with 1/300th of a second.

kind kite
#

Any idea would it affect the performance?

surreal linden
#

only the spring

kind kite
#

Alright, thank you so much @surreal linden I really appreciate it.

surreal linden
#

wait im actually kinda insane

true patrol
#

it'll likely affect sound if anything, but not feel or performance

surreal linden
#

yea they look indentical

kind kite
surreal linden
#

also i heard that other switches might cause some input delays

#

like their magnetics or something

if they have the magnets at a different height or size than the lekkers, the keyboard may read them differently

#

but this can likely be compensated for by adjusting the actuation

surreal linden
#

yea i think they do

#

so there might be a performance issue from just that

#

tbh i think its 0.1mm difference

true patrol
#

gateron makes the KS-20 and the Lekker so they're likely identical within tolerance in terms of placement/size on the magnet

surreal linden
#

then you should be fine then

kind kite
#

The reason why I bought it is because it comes in prelubed and the spring is to my liking.

#

Thank you 2

surreal linden
#

o

#

what spring do they use?

kind kite
#

I dont really know the details of it but it feels a little lighter compared to Lekker 60

#

but not as light as lekker 45

surreal linden
#

ah i see

#

so between 45-60 then

kind kite
#

Yeah

surreal linden
#

nice

true patrol
#

KS20 bottoms out at 50g force, so your feeling is correct

kind kite
#

This is just based on my feeling though, I dont know much about it

surreal linden
#

dang some really sensitive hands

#

they keycaps also play a huge role in actuation point

#

so the weight of it

true patrol
#

Hoping soon we can see some more custom springs getting made for hall effect switches, it'll take a bit since they're wider than standard mech switch springs, plus they need to be non-magnetic

surreal linden
#

yea

#

i mean are spring typically magnetic?

#

i think most manufacturer made it so it isnt

#

otherwise thats just random additional manufactuering cost

kind kite
surreal linden
#

im using the l45 rn

kind kite
#

Do you like it so far? in terms of the spring

surreal linden
#

yea its really good

#

especially for speed based games

#

like osu

#

less finger fatigue lol

#

and i feel faster too

true patrol
surreal linden
#

probably cause its easier to put together

What is the best keyboard for Fortnite? And why? Price?where I can shop it?

lunar sand
#

there's "no best keyboard" for a game ... maybe for rythm games, hall effect keyboards are better.
Generally speaking hall effect keyboards are more reactive, meaning, they have quicker key presses and you can customize them to your liking and needs.
But with these, a normal mechanical switch, silver, can also give you great results for gaming.
Pre-travel needs to be short and the total travel should not be too long, so that your key-presses are as quick as possible.

But ... for that to happen, you also need to be quick and clean on your movements of course.
The keyboard will not make you a better player ... but if you already a good player, maybe hall effect gives you possibilities to play in a certain way that a normal switch can't.

I just bought polyfill and new WQ polycarb switch films so we shall see how this goes… figured since I have to take the switches apart again I will throw more lube on them. These switches are thirsty as hell

Not sure how the polyfill will work for the alumaze but I figured for 5 USD I’ll figure it out

And also check how straight the stab wires are before doing any lubing, or the mod above

yeah i dont think you can have them both in at the same time or it will push against the pcb

its one or the other

vernal shoal

yeah im swappng it out

lilac island

yeah give it a go i like the sound of the stock foam vs the redux foam

its considerably thicker too

Anyone know of any switches with compatible top housings for the lekker switches? I want to make a bit of a frankenswitch with a nylon top since I can't stand how the PC top housing sounds.

#

The top housing looks to be a little bit different from your standard mechanical gateron switch.

my keyboard sounds like popcorn popping

#

After 5 hours i have finally reached an acceptable sound from the wooting 60 he in a tofu keyboard. What a pain. There was that pingy sound , and couldn't find the reason why. Was the cherry keycaps hitting the switch housing. Lost a little bit of lighting rotating the switches but the sound after it's much better. Waiting for mlv for dampening and should be complete.

but i rly like xht bdz, literally has killed all the rattle i got

its a very solid spacebar now

maybe the stabs housing are loose on the plate ?

cyan adder

my only issue is sound

#

mmh

lilac island
cyan adder
#

nah it doesnt move

lilac island
#

the screw next to spacebar maybe thats too tight

#

or better yet i dont think you even need that screw

cyan adder
#

I have 0 screw it’s gummy o ring mounted xD

lilac island
#

oh lol

#

that looks solid to me mine has a bit of movement, maybe cos ive taken them off so many times now xD

cyan adder
#

maybe because its my only switch with 3 layers of switches tape ? others has 2

#

but it should be even more thockier

i got them from kbdfans in like 2020 but i still think they have them

cinder merlin
#

yup looking at them now

#

them emphasize the mid freqs?

well what i realized for me was that it reduced any ping that these lekker switches had

which is really nice

cinder merlin

ah icic

Not bad
Better than stock
I tried it. It was my first time doing switch tape mod when i used masking tape

just got my FR4 plate ... i will test it and tell you how it goes... i know everyone said it would give me problems ... but i after contacting KBDFans they told me i would not ... so lets see 😄

ok so i just cut my extra spacebar foam to put it under my stabs on the pcb

really dampen the sound

and the difference its not night and day

sorry was typing that exactly at the same time

i can notice a sligtht difference

#

but that's because its side by side

fluid ravine
#

i was gonna get g lube back then but i was like nah
if krytox is better than just get the better one ig

#

lol

lunar sand
#

the issue with krytox is availability ... i got a bunch of jars now

#

but for 3 or 4 months

#

i was having a hard time

#

finding stock

#

that's why i got the g-lube 😄

lunar sand
#

at least, in europe, there was a time

#

the stock was really low

#

but i mean, if you can get glube easily, you will be fine with it

fluid ravine
#

yeah

#

i bought my krytox from kinetic labs

lunar sand
#

right now back to using krytox 😄

fluid ravine
#

first ever

#

i got like 1ml left

lunar sand
#

yeah, but importing krytox

#

to europe is ... expensive

#

bro i kinda wanna just start over my whole modding process

#

of my wooting

#

just take every single mod out

#

and start over

lunar sand
#

ahahaha

#

but why? you feel you wanna do something different?

fluid ravine
#

just a little

#

i feel like if i star it all over again
do it more precise, plan things
it could come out so much better and how I would like it to be

#

my wooting has REALLY gone through alot

#

i wish i was like my friend that bought me the wooting
he bought two for himself thinking that if he ever started modding it and broke something he would have the spare one

#

but he ended up not using the second one it at all nor has he tried to mod it

lunar sand
#

yeah... i mean, with what i learned on this one

#

i will get the module

#

since i have a spare case here

#

but just to tryout

#

actually, yesterday i was in doubt with the new keyboard that was released with hall effect

#

but, i decided to keep my initial idea

#

of getting the module

#

and do it slowly and wisely

#

ehehhe

#

then i will give this one to my kid

#

since he is a FPS lover 😄

harsh dove
#

I will probably feel this way at some point too but I’ve yet to finish modding my keyboard lol

i have the alumaze coming

#

Same bro

#

Get mine tomorrow

but i also have the Redux here

ehehe acrylic

#

so i'm going to do a close compare

harsh dove
#

I feel like too many people have a tofu redux so I don’t want one XD

lunar sand
#

yeah, i got a acrylic one because wanted to try out the acrylic

#

i still think acrylic > alum

#

😄

#

I’ve yet to hear what acrylic case sounds like I think

#

I heard a bamboo case recently

lunar sand
#

don't like the wood sound

harsh dove
#

lol yeah

lunar sand

but again, very personal

harsh dove
#

#

How is acrylic?

can't say

received it today

did not have the time to start

#

Oh okay

lunar sand
#

swapping shitzu 😄

#

😄

harsh dove
#

What are you expecting as far as sound profile?

#

Deeper? Poppy?

lunar sand
#

i think it will be a little more deep

harsh dove
#

Definitely let me know once you build it

lunar sand
#

due to the sound resonance that alum is known for...

harsh dove
#

Yeah

lunar sand
#

but i can be wrong 😄

harsh dove
#

Does it feel premium still being acrylic?

lunar sand
#

its not a time consuming swap

#

but today was family time

harsh dove
#

Or do you think Alum feels more premium still?

lunar sand
#

and right now, i didn't have the patience to do it 😄

harsh dove
#

lol I feel that

lunar sand
#

Alum feels heavier of course

harsh dove
#

Right

lunar sand
#

only from that, you have that "premium" feel

harsh dove
#

Simply cause there’s weight to it, yeah

lunar sand
#

in terms of looks, 100% alum

harsh dove
#

Yeah I feel like most would feel that way too

lunar sand
#

I mean … yeah … 😂

harsh dove
#

I think that looks clean still

lunar sand
#

The alum instantly feels more premium

Lmao

lunar sand

2 1200x900 and the other is a "normal" 500x500

it has a reason

because i was lazy

and ... some months ago i got the saturn pro
