[opaque wasp]

this case isnt on there because its like a special gasket mounted so like the plate is different so i would have to use a differnt case

[bronze grove]

If it's gasket mounted, you're going to need custom solutions

[opaque wasp]

ok thank you

is the wooting pcb like the same as like a bm60 in like size and fittings , with this meaning is it a standard 60 percent pcb

[pale oracle]

anyone got an image of all the community creator keycaps

[quiet bay]

the collectible keycaps from the uwu?

[pale oracle]

yeah

[quiet bay]

https://uwuting.com/overview

[pale oracle]

thx

[lunar sand]

anyone already tried the ks-20s? is the factory lube good enough, received mine meanwhile, but did not have the time to tryout

[fluid ravine]

Should be good

[fluid ravine]

yay the handsome man is back

Never mind

xd

[bronze grove]

[fluid ravine]

wait im tripping

on pc i see the man himself

but on my phone i see the quack

oh yeah im def tripping

[fluid ravine]

@cyan adder ah shi
i think i gotta go with the semi clack team with this config

im sorry this is mad satisfying to me
gimme alexotos clack vibes

[cyan adder]

whaaat

[fluid ravine]

im sorry

but maintaining thocc is pretty hard when it came to wooting

but i find this good enough
really nice

got a good sound profile
good typing feel
"premium" feel
but still shit keycaps

[lilac island]

hmmm i find mine pretty thocky, what other keyboards you have that thock ?

[fluid ravine]

dont got

gmmk compact creamy clacks

wooting semi clacks which i dont mind pretty nice

[lilac island]

yeah do you have the pc plate?

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[lilac island]

i find mine to be pretty thocky with the steel plate

i gotta try the pc plate but im going to wait for the module to come out then get it

[fluid ravine]

i like mine with pc plate better
sound difference, not that big, but i like the typing experience

[quiet bay]

I think my wooting is like a creamy thock

[lilac island]

i pretty much got rid of most my mods just have 5 layers tempest mod hand lubed and redux case with one layer stock wooting foam

[cyan adder]

me 2

[harsh dove]

Finished my moleskin mod , going out to eat sushi and then I’ll probably make a sound recording when I get back

[cyan adder]

TELLL US MORE

Is it great? how thocky is it ???

[quiet bay]

bro left us on a cliffhanger 🤣

[cyan adder]

broooo u cant do that

okay 3rd layer of switches tape mod is a little bit too much thocky to me LOL i just noticed that by writing here

i dont thhink my hear could handle so much thock for long

xd

[quiet bay]

i kinda want a creamy wooting :v

creamy pops wooting? 🤔

[lilac island]

what does yours sound like right now ?

[cyan adder]

idk bro its like listening to turn down for what

full low pitched

[lilac island]

is it like a silent thock with no feedback

[fluid ravine]

cream pops?

got a vid or example on what that sound like

[cyan adder]

ill wait for lube to break in

since ive just added the 3rd layer

need the lube to spread to the 3rd layer

[lilac island]

What does this sound like to you guys ? Cream, clack or thick or something else ?

[fluid ravine]

thick xD

[lilac island]

or mic too close to keyboard haha !

[cyan adder]

its not thock for me

no hard clack but somewhere between Mid and clack

[lilac island]

sounds a lot higher pitch on recording than irl

yeah my stabs clack though 😦

[quiet bay]

https://youtu.be/SAWZSDX5pS4?si=9OsAvx4KFOCkoyhO

[fluid ravine]

i think i can do that

[lilac island]

i thihk if we want a full thock keyboard wooting aint going to cut it

a more traditional switch will give you a better chance

[mental hemlock]

BuddyOG

[cyan adder]

Actual sound

[quiet bay]

I think mines a bit muted

[lilac island]

so much bass !"

sounds like underwater lol

[cyan adder]

too much for me

yeah exactly

[lilac island]

i like that sound

[cyan adder]

wtf u typing

xd

[cyan adder]

so poppy

nice

[quiet bay]

Nothing c:

[lilac island]

at least you guys dont whack your space bar like i do haha !

[quiet bay]

oh bruh I just realized my phone picked up the music from downstairs 💀

[cyan adder]

actually i found out my keycaps are designed to sound really bad

[harsh dove]

Honestly I love it so far

I just need to make sure it’s fine tuned before I take a video

[cyan adder]

i was testing this eventuality, so i tried my stock wooting keycaps and it sounded way better with it, but i still prefer mine visually so

[harsh dove]

And I’ll show the PCB so you guys can see how I did it

[cyan adder]

how is it

more thock?

[harsh dove]

Yes

[cyan adder]

like

little bit more or

10000 percent more

how many layers did u put

[quiet bay]

what is it made of?

[cyan adder]

pbt

but its not especially the material

i mean idk i dont feel these keycaps well

just an intuition

[harsh dove]

1 layer and I’d say it’s definitely a noticeable improvement

[quiet bay]

not thicc probably? 🤔

[fluid ravine]

dude i think i forgot what thock is

[quiet bay]

yes yes u did

[fluid ravine]

i dont think thats thocc

or i just dont know anymore

[quiet bay]

i said mine sounded creamy

a creamier thock

with some pop

ok damn I want more pop

my kb kinda muted

[fluid ravine]

yeah idk what it is anymroe

[quiet bay]

as long as it sound gud 😌

[fluid ravine]

true

well at least i like it

eh ima do sound test tmrw

or when its quiet in the room

cus i have no idea anymroe

[fluid ravine]

Oh yeah I'm cooking

[quiet bay]

It's naked!!!

[harsh dove]

On my way back home

Moleskin FTW

🙌🏽

[fluid ravine]

lessggooo

now record that shit

[harsh dove]

I will once I get home

My only issue is that I don’t have a mousepad under my keyboard so I feel like the space bar is stabbing my desk

I ordered one already

[fluid ravine]

That's cool

Um the stabs don't touch the pcb.

[harsh dove]

I honestly hate the sound of my spacebar in recordings because you have hear it like reverb across my desk

in person it's not that bad but I can't wait to get a felt pad under it

but this is with one layer of moleskin

[fluid ravine]

do you have a before

[harsh dove]

Yes

[fluid ravine]

sned?

[harsh dove]

Before moleskin

[cyan adder]

huuuge diff

[daring umbra]

module out yet?

[quiet bay]

no

[harsh dove]

No

[daring umbra]

sadt

[untold wigeon]

if its out

youll see in annoucements

[daring umbra]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[harsh dove]

Yeah playing the recordings side by side, the moleskin is definitely deeper sounds

[untold wigeon]

thinking of doing 1 layer of human skin

might give it a softer feel

[harsh dove]

Keep us posted

And send link for where to buy

[untold wigeon]

sounds good!

[noble delta]

@untold wigeon

i have a quick question

does lubing the tabs make a difference in sound or feel

cause i just lubed one of the tabs

and it sounds the same as not lubing one

@fluid ravine

[untold wigeon]

probably does but i didnt take a sound test before or after

[noble delta]

ye i don’t realize a big diff

i’m just gonna leave it

cause i don’t realize a diff

maybe later on when i need to reapply lube

or relube i’ll for sure do it

[fluid ravine]

tabs?

[noble delta]

the

switch tape mod

[fluid ravine]

it only makes it smoother

doesnt make a sound difference

[noble delta]

i swear

i do not realize a different between lubing it and not

i just lubed for

and it is WASD

[fluid ravine]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[noble delta]

@fluid ravine

wait

my keyboard is so fuciking silent LOL

LMAOAOAO

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[noble delta]

im being so serious bro

I don't even have the foam yet

my friend didn't have time to give me it

it is actually so silent lol

[surreal linden]

@fluid ravine this you?

[fluid ravine]

stawwpp

[surreal linden]

lol

[fluid ravine]

IM DEAD

I RARLEY TOUCH THIS GAME

HAHAHAH

[surreal linden]

i play it sometimes

[fluid ravine]

HOW DID-

WGSAT

THATS FKING CREEPY

[surreal linden]

nah its pure coincidence lol

[fluid ravine]

damn

thats wild

[quiet bay]

Caught lacking

[fluid ravine]

ah hailllllllll

im caught

caught with my brother from another mothjer

dont expose me now (delete it xd)

[quiet bay]

Ok 😂

[marble shuttle]

Lol

[mental hemlock]

Think I saw you on Roblox yesterday lmfao

[marble shuttle]

They forgot the release pcb module

😐

[bronze grove]

It's not December yet.

[bronze grove]

No one said that!

[glossy pagoda]

The module is like a wizard; it is neither late nor early - it releases precisely when it intends to.

[untold wigeon]

i think june 2024 is a good release date

[marble shuttle]

Did they Said middle november ? I remember that

Atleast let us buy from site for preorder 👍

Interesting

[untold wigeon]

middle of december

[marble shuttle]

It was middle november bro

[untold wigeon]

ye now its middle of december

if u ask again it will be 30th of february

[untold wigeon]

ask again ill delay it

[pine tiger]

Is everyone lubing their switches as per the Wooting video still?

[fluid ravine]

Don't get criminal mad now xD

[ruby moth]

Anyone know a good site to get custom pbt caps?

[lilac island]

which country ?

[ruby moth]

I'm in the US

[lilac island]

ahh ok i got a good uk website not sure how shipping is like to the us

https://prototypist.net/

[valid anchor]

lmao

[lilac island]

?

[gaunt linden]

Is gummy o ring mount better sounding than burger mount?

[ruby moth]

I'll take a look, thank you bro!

[foggy glen]

what are some good companies, or types of custom keycaps I can purchase that are similar if not identical to how the original keycaps are(size,shape,feel) ? thanks =x

[keen stratus]

How can I fix a mushy spacebar? It takes just a bit longer than usual to go back to its normal position. It’s my first time lubing them.

[untold wigeon]

when you say similar if not identical to how the original keycaps are, do you mean clones of other keycaps set?

[untold wigeon]

it may be because you overlubed them

[keen stratus]

The stabilizers?

[untold wigeon]

yes

i would take them out and perhaps clean them and relubed the housing with less lube

[keen stratus]

Alright

[untold wigeon]

putting a lot of lube on the wire is fine but the housing should be a light layer

[keen stratus]

Oh okay, is there a specific way to clean it?

Is there something I shouldn’t touch

[untold wigeon]

i usually put mine in some warm water

just the stabns

so take them out

put them in warm water

let em soak for 5 mins, and then grab a toothbrush you no longer use

and brush them

dry them, relube

and ur good to go

[keen stratus]

Sounds good, tysm

[untold wigeon]

np!

lettermail is taking sooooo long, i want my gummy oring now

[floral barn]

Can the Wooting 60HE PCB be mounted in e.g. a Tofu60 Redux case with a O Ring like Bakaneko Style?

[harsh dove]

People really want this module lol

So impatient

[untold wigeon]

then they realize it won't matter because all you need to do is properly tune your stabs

not only that but the pcb mounted stabs can't even gummy o ring mount

honestly i hate using pcb mounted stabs

i like them and they are good but making such a huge deal about it is cringe

cuz a ive had terrible issues with durock stems being really loose with any kecaps ive used, and also the wire always popps out

and if you want to tune ur stabs

good luck

i only used cherry oems both plate mount and pcb mount. pcb mount is easier to tune but harder to get at while plate mount is the opposite

[lunar sand]

Installing the policarb and ks20 whites. I’ll let you know my initial feelings

[untold wigeon]

i hope you lubed them

how are the actuation on these?

0.4 or 0.1

[lunar sand]

Didn’t lube them still. Wanna check how they sound with factory lube

[foggy glen]

basically, but with more of a custom look, as if I wanted certain colors/designs or transparencies

[fluid ravine]

The backspace is the problem

Just change the backspace to plate mount then you good to go

[untold wigeon]

I tried the switch tape mod and the stem gets stuck in the top housing with two layers

I can still push it down but it doesn’t feel smooth

[cyan adder]

what tape did u use

is it thin?

make sure its flat inside the upper housing

if its flat; try lubing very slighly the tape inside the housing

because if u apply switche tape mod with only factory lubed switches the tape will stay dry

asf

be sure to hand lube ur switches first

[untold wigeon]

My switches are hand lubed already. I thought what I had is gentle paper tape I guess not 😂

[cyan adder]

show me

[lunar sand]

The whites are 0.2

[untold wigeon]

Good thing I only did wasd and not the all the switches

[lunar sand]

Well ... first thing about the KS-20 whites ...
They tell us that they are pre-lubed ... i don't know where 😄 opened 2 of them and they were dry af !

[lunar sand]

going to try out a little more ... i'm not 100% sure yet if i prefer the PC to stell 😄 i know its weird

[cyan adder]

Seems perfect to me

Make sure to push the tape with tweezer to make it completely flat inside the upper housing

[lunar sand]

\

[untold wigeon]

Yea I did that

Maybe I’ll try buying a different brand of tape

[cyan adder]

i dont think the tape is the problem bro

seems fine to me what u showed

i even achieve 3 layers with a thicker tape

[lunar sand]

Im having mixed feelings about the PC plate, don't know yet why is that ...

the KS20s can go down to 0.15mm ... i thought it was just 0.2 but wooting app is showing 0.15

[vagrant crystal]

Is there a way to get a base case?
I dropped it and broke it

Or I'm looking for a lower case than the base case

[cyan adder]

where are u based

eu or ?

i dont have any use of mine

[vagrant crystal]

korea

[vagrant crystal]

What case do you use?

[devout torrent]

is the poron foam that comes with the PC plate the same as the stock one that's already between the steel plate?

[bronze grove]

Yes.

Just a bit less of it to accomodate the Module PCB.

[devout torrent]

thanks mr wooting

[cyan adder]

Ah sorry i wont ship to korea, i use redux case

[untold wigeon]

Then what could be the issue? I flattened it and on all of the switches I did they were like that

[cyan adder]

flat, u cut too long or too short; or the lube hasnt spread into the tape yet/hasnt break in yet, idk

your tape is fine

[untold wigeon]

I even lubed it after to see if it would help it didn’t lol I ended up taking the tape off

Does it need some time to break in?

I think the tape length is fine when the stem is the one that’s getting stuck

[cyan adder]

its weird

how did it went with only 1 layer?

[untold wigeon]

it was fine with one layer

[cyan adder]

well

[untold wigeon]

But I didn’t really use it for that long with 1 layer

[cyan adder]

so your tape is fine

[untold wigeon]

What tape did you use?

[cyan adder]

i dont think we have same brand as i live in france, pretty much same thickness than you, even a little bit thicker

i work in hospital so i just take myself 1 tape xd

[untold wigeon]

😂

[untold wigeon]

ive used thicker tape in mine

is there adhesive on both sides?

[quiet bay]

U lubed the tape with 205g0?

[untold wigeon]

maybe the tape is sticking to the stem

[untold wigeon]

Yep

[untold wigeon]

Nope

[quiet bay]

Rip thats not supposed to happen

Maybe let it break in

[untold wigeon]

I already took it off unfortunately

I really didn’t like how I had to put more force when pressing the keys

[pale oracle]

wooting

[vagrant crystal]

Okay. I think I need to buy a case, too

[obsidian dagger]

damascus has become such a buzzword it is sad

that is pattern-welded or whatever

[gaunt linden]

Yo

What is better sounding, gummy o ring or burgermount?

[loud zephyr]

That's the tallest artisan keycap I've ever seen

[fathom rune]

what does the brass plate in tofu do?

[loud zephyr]

Probably very little given that the stock plate is quite stiff, sound would be similar I think

[flint tiger]

Does anyone know if you the firm the lekker switches?

Does it affect its performance?

[polar girder]

What?

Like switch springs?

[loud zephyr]

As in film the switches, a few here have done it without performance being affected. It's generally not recommended but it's possible

[stable kindle]

Day #33 of asking where the module is

[loud zephyr]

I bought them all. Sorry

[stable kindle]

T-T

[loud zephyr]

I don't think it's too far away, end of Nov or early Dec

...2077

[fluid ravine]

no its 2160

[mental hemlock]

plate or weight?

[loud zephyr]

The only module I want is one that can power this

is this a good all-in-one lube kit?

nvr mind

i think im just gonna go with wootings

[untold wigeon]

That looks good. Idk bout the lube tho

[random quail]

lol i was looking at the separate prices

but combined they're like 10 bucks off

[untold wigeon]

good idea. I got theirs and the quality is good on the tools

[random quail]

can i use krytox on stabs?

why is there separate lube

[untold wigeon]

Yes. I’m not entirely sure why there’s a separate lube for the stabs but I’m sure someone here has the explanation for that

[fluid ravine]

Krytox can be used for switches and stabilizer housing and stem

you can use them on wires but its not really recommened since krytox is quite expensive and it could be a waste

if there's another lube then that could be for the wire

depending on what it is

[random quail]

I see

[random quail]

But like I’m seeing it’s cheaper a lot to just skip out on the stab lube

[loud zephyr]

I just use 205 for everything, so far so good but might try something else later in the future.

[lunar sand]

Some updates. Ended up going back to the Lekker's for now, since i really need to lube the KS20s ...
As for the PC plate... i'm still in doubt. I think the stability for the stabs suffered a little bit and i'm not sure about sound ... we can notice the difference but i'm still not decided if that's something i like more than the steel plate yet 😄

[random quail]

this look solid to you guys?

its from divinikey is that pretty reputable

[loud zephyr]

Only item I would've added is a switch stem holder, other than that you're good to go

[random quail]

lol out of stock oh well

[loud zephyr]

It's handy if you want to minimize grease on your fingers, but if you have steady hands then save a few bucks

[random quail]

damn it bro ill just stay with wooting stuff

it all goes back to wooting

[untold wigeon]

Always has been

https://tenor.com/view/always-has-been-among-us-astronaut-space-betrayal-gif-23836476

[random quail]

and now im just realizing kbdfans charges 25 dollar shipping for tofu redux

bro aliexpress has it cheaper

am i really gonna choose that route 💀

[lunar sand]

Anyone already had this issue with modifier keycaps ( the alphas are good ) sitting lower than the others? (PC plate)

[fluid ravine]

mines sits higher only because of my foam

[lunar sand]

only the modifiers?

[fluid ravine]

nvm

[lunar sand]

they should be somehow leveled

[fluid ravine]

how far did you screw your module

[lunar sand]

its making me crazy

the usual ... not too loose not too tight

[loud zephyr]

Do they sit evenly if you compare them on a table, take em out and check

[lunar sand]

yep they are pretty evenly

[fluid ravine]

@untold wigeon thank you

i wrapped my table with some plastic wrap or whatever

so theres bubbles

that i didnt get a chance to get rid of

[lunar sand]

the issue is that happens with all modifiers ...

weird stuff ...

[cyan adder]

its normal happens on my keycaps too

[loud zephyr]

Do the top of the switch stems line up with alpha stems? That's pretty weird fr

Keycap stem on modifier cavity deeper, I'm guessing

[fluid ravine]

@lunar sand

i found the problem

i think

what case do you have

[lunar sand]

Poseidon 60

[harsh dove]

I mean I had this “problem” but I was just because I tightened down the USB Port side more than the other side

[fluid ravine]

is there like a curve inside the corners

[lunar sand]

a curve inside the corners? ... what do you mean exactly ? ( need to open it to check it )

[fluid ravine]

look at the corner

of your case

is it curved in the inside

[lunar sand]

it has a small "bezel" yes

[fluid ravine]

like this^

[lunar sand]

exactly like that

[fluid ravine]

thats why

lol

[lunar sand]

hmmm i don't follow you sorry 😄 because the keys are not taller than the alphas, its the other way around, they sit lower , so its not hitting the keyboard

if that was your idea 😄

[fluid ravine]

the problem is because they are caught from the small bezel

its not fully trimmed or whatever for it to go through

[lunar sand]

as i wrote above ... but that would make the modifier key to be taller right?

[fluid ravine]

no

shorter

it gets stuck

see?

[lunar sand]

yes, but that doesn't happen on my case though

[fluid ravine]

im doing tray mount for my config log

[fluid ravine]

send me a pic

from the side of the case and top

[loud zephyr]

How do they look on another keyboard?

[random quail]

@untold wigeon fattie

[untold wigeon]

You don’t talk to me that way I only talk to you that way

[lunar sand]

@fluid ravine last photo is of the key fully pressed

[fluid ravine]

Yeah that seems right

[lunar sand]

Normal

only happening now with the PC plate

tbh, that top right corner of the PC seems flimsy, not much support there...

but i may go with that idea that the modifiers may have a deeper stem hole than the others ... and that's weird

but that would happen on this last keyboard img i sent too ... and it doesn't ... hmmm

[mental hemlock]

@loud zephyr

where keeb

[loud zephyr]

trying out beige on white so no one else has to - looks like ass

[mental hemlock]

who was the one crying that their keyboard arrived but didnt' arrive

@quiet bay

?

[quiet bay]

yes me

[mental hemlock]

what now?

what can you do>

[quiet bay]

waiting usps for a email response

to my marked delivered but undelivered package

[harsh dove]

you go and ask any neighbors?

[quiet bay]

Cant even it's like 8:40pm wouldn't wanna disturb them

and the tracking legit updated at like 7pm

I refreshed every moment and it only updated til 7pm

then I found out it was allegedly delivered to my doorstep at 5:50pm

[mental hemlock]

check the garbage can

or around the house

[quiet bay]

Nothing man…😔

Was gonna be a nice early birthday present too for myself

I mean not complaining it was free so Im losing nothing but nevertheless

[glad ruin]

What size O ring do you use for Burger Mounting?

I saw these on reddit, but i have no idea what size would be appropriate

You need 2 per switch, so for the whole board im assuming you need 122 O rings?

https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Silicone-4-9-5mm-Diameter-1-6-5mm/dp/B082SVFWCS?th=1

Also, how bad is the case ping on the stock 60HE, is getting a different plate a big deal or is the stock one good?

[mental hemlock]

Nothing is free.

[mental hemlock]

Deep breath here we go.

The o ring's aren't meant for the switches themselves. The point is to have the o rings rest on top of the standoffs so the PCB isn't screwed directly on top of the metal, producing a harsh metallic sound.

so in total, you need only 8

[glad ruin]

ooooooooooh, idk for some reason i thought they attached underneath the Switches on the PCB

idk what picture i was looking at

woooooosh

[glad ruin]

Will those 4x1x1.5mm O rings work?

[mental hemlock]

there are o rings for the keycaps, but that doesn't do anything besides make them mushy

yes, they would. I recommend getting longer screws though

[glad ruin]

Im not interested in doing that

[mental hemlock]

yeah its bullshit

all you need is burger mount

[glad ruin]

Someone said the default screws are m2 x3

so something like m2 x4?

https://www.amazon.com/Deal4GO-10-Pack-Replacement-Phillips-Heatsink/dp/B0B373RNJP/ref=asc_df_B0B373RNJP/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=658002882642&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10594873020711573644&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9021604&hvtargid=pla-2189288261245&psc=1&mcid=63258a56052437bebec73c5d843a2799

[mental hemlock]

6 or longer

[glad ruin]

Can they be too long?

Or do they just go deeper into the mounts?

[mental hemlock]

I'm using 6, max I would say is M8

[gloomy perch]

holy crap how many shots is that

[glad ruin]

and the 6s are comfortable length wise, or would you have gone with the 8s?

[mental hemlock]

comfortable?

[harsh dove]

I’m doing burger mount with 5s and I have moleskin which is pretty thick

[mental hemlock]

should have gone for those haha

[harsh dove]

Also have foam orings as well

[mental hemlock]

the one's im using are shiny silver

[harsh dove]

Yeah same

[glad ruin]

What plates are you guys using?

[harsh dove]

Polycarbonate

[glad ruin]

Im using Two He rn and the aluminum plate seems good to me, but the 60He has steel and ive heard it pings

[mental hemlock]

PC plate, but mines isn't a wooting

[harsh dove]

Steel*

Oh wait

Yeah the steel plate pings if it’s in an aluminum case

In the stock case it’s not that bad to me

Especially if modded

[mental hemlock]

Here we fucking go

[harsh dove]

But the PC plate has flex to it which is nice

[harsh dove]

Looks like optimum techs keyboard

[glad ruin]

I cant see the plate!

That looks crisp

[mental hemlock]

his looks like mines*

[harsh dove]

lol

[fluid ravine]

its alu

[harsh dove]

I mean I think he did his like 2-3 years ago no?

Maybe only 1 year ago idk

Have to check video

[fluid ravine]

When did you make yours? @mental hemlock

Otherwise optimum tech did his before you lol

[mental hemlock]

July of this year

lol

[harsh dove]

Oh okay

Did his inspire you?

[mental hemlock]

of course haha

[harsh dove]

Didn’t want the gray case ?

Went with all black instead

[mental hemlock]

that's why I was so upset that they discontinued the Tofu bro

[harsh dove]

Oh okay

[mental hemlock]

I did, but the whole thing happened

[harsh dove]

[mental hemlock]

thank you man

the next thing i need to do is make a brass weight for it

like the Redux

[fluid ravine]

thinking about that

but i kinda just want to do what silent did

just buy wheel weights

since i theres a local auto shop around here

[mental hemlock]

I'd rather the brass weight because it just looks more uniform

One big weight instead of multiple wheel weights

[fluid ravine]

true but on the other hand
who the hell will even see it 💀

[mental hemlock]

Me.

I'll always know it's there.

And it'll haunt me

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

LMAOOOO

OK I MIGHT AS WELL DO THE SAME

[mental hemlock]

speaking of which, I need to mod it rn

[harsh dove]

Same

Doing a small mod to mine rn

[mental hemlock]

I need to take off the tape mod, and put the new o rings in it

[harsh dove]

How we soundin' boys

[fluid ravine]

for my preference, im not fully down on this, but its really solid
good work

[harsh dove]

Lol I feel like you'd tell me to do the switch tape mod
thank you though

[fluid ravine]

nah

it sound solid

saying like it terms of how quiet or thoccy or clacky

its somewhere

[harsh dove]

its somewhere lmao

[fluid ravine]

lmao

[harsh dove]

I like that

[fluid ravine]

switch tape mod is suppose to make the switch sound like a actual switch
where it has some proper sounds

im just saying the board in general however

[harsh dove]

oh okay gotcha

Yeah my mods list is:

Alumaze60
PC Plate with Silicone Pad between
GMK Sumi Keys
Burger mount with silicone and foam O-rings
Moleskin 1 layer

TX AP Stabs with dielectric

[fluid ravine]

ah i see

the silicone

no wonder

[harsh dove]

you think foam would be more thocc?

[fluid ravine]

hmmm

i mean

[harsh dove]

hmmm

[fluid ravine]

maybe

no actually

yes

[harsh dove]

lmao

[fluid ravine]

silicone makes the "module" more muted

[harsh dove]

that's kinda how I felt

[fluid ravine]

since its like a real freaky sound deadner

[fluid ravine]

im not using any bc Doc sent this in my thread

i got curious and tried it

its actually pretty good

and convenient

[harsh dove]

ima try this rn

since I like tinkering

[fluid ravine]

Relying on my Case and Foam now

everything else like switch, plates, and what not dont need to be tinkered

i find the wooting case foam to be more full sound and poppy

[harsh dove]

Yeah I feel like mines pretty solid , I do wanna try what you said about nothing between tho

[fluid ravine]

additionally the second foam fits and sits higher than the standoffs and post
so gasket performance :D

[harsh dove]

The alumaze foam and wooting foam the same?

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[harsh dove]

Wooting just has second layer right?

[fluid ravine]

or thats what i heard

[fluid ravine]

someone said the 2 are the same foam but different cutouts for specific case

[harsh dove]

Right

Okay

[fluid ravine]

so one is specifically cut out for alumaze and one for the wooting stock

[harsh dove]

Yeah they looked the same when I compared them just diff cutouts

Material wise

you know how these uses the strawberry V2

how the fuc

i think i should go with 2 or 3 layers with tempest to get the pops i guess

mines pretty deeper than the vid, which is cool ig

[harsh dove]

oh okay yeah, I'll listen to this in a sec, gonna make a recording with nothing between rn

forgot to mention on my mods list, I also have that museum putty Tirade mentioned on my spacebar

nothing between PCB

silicone layer

[flint tiger]

Can anyone send me a canadian link of where to buy an o-rong for the wooting?

[untold wigeon]

tried new tape for the switch tape mod and now it works like a charm

[untold wigeon]

i might add the silicone back

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-lol-what-confused-look-gif-14863730

[plain stump]

does making the switches south facing barely do anything in terms of rgb?

or is it just me

[untold wigeon]

it reduces the brightness a lot

[untold wigeon]

problem?

[harsh dove]

no

[plain stump]

i heard something about how the keycaps i use require south facing for better rgb

[harsh dove]

Southfacing is better for non back lit keycaps

[plain stump]

ah

i can hardly tell the difference lol

[harsh dove]

also supposed to be better for GMK/Cherry profile keys iirc but I can't remember wwhy

don't quote me on it

[bronze grove]

Not relevant on our keyboards.

[plain stump]

ah ty

i guess back to north facing

[bronze grove]

This is also only true on keyboards where the LEDs are actually south facing to begin with.

Which is not the case for our keyboards.

[plain stump]

would u recommend keeping it north then?

[harsh dove]

Yes

[bronze grove]

[plain stump]

tyty

[plain stump]

Which “sandwich pad” would you recommend for a more thocky sound

[marble shuttle]

huh

https://tenor.com/view/cat-sandwhich-bread-kitty-kitten-gif-24293158

this one

[untold wigeon]

the silicone one

it says on the website

[plain stump]

Thanks

[untold wigeon]

you can also try no pad

i like no pad better than the foam

the silicone pad however not sure yet

[plain stump]

Ic

[glad ruin]

Isn't that only an issue with Cherry R3?

[glad ruin]

It's because of the LED diode/bulb protruding from the switch, Cherry profile very closely match the shape of the nonbulb switches. This should only be true for Cherry r3.

from cerakey discord

[crimson sky]

the protrusion is to fit the switch leaf btw

the LED slot is on the bottom side, which is why original caps are windowed in the front

[glad ruin]

Interesting

I was just learning about this yesturday

[hollow sand]

is the alumaze any good?

[bronze grove]

I certainly like it - But staff bias 😄

[hollow sand]

The only thing putting me off is the little gold accent piece

[bronze grove]

The colour? Or having it at all?

[hollow sand]

I think it just looks weird with a gold piece there.

That is why im thinking about a tofu 60 redux

i can get it cheaper. Like 700 SEK cheaper

for that cash i can buy a wrist rest and a coiled cable

[glad ruin]

Interesting, ty for knowledge

[noble vine]

does o ring stacking negatively affect the 60he?

[glad ruin]

It will decrease the range of motion and cause you to bottom out sooner which will effect your analog inputs.

Not sure if it will effect the magnet for normal operation.

[noble vine]

i'm going to use 0.1 for gaming and 1.0 for typing i won't use analog inputs since i use a software for it so would i get negatively effected by it?

[glad ruin]

I tried searching discord for anyone who has used them and couldn't find anything (every mention is about the PCB burger mount) but on reddit I found some mentions and it sounds like mixed results.

Responses say, limited degree of motion but only like .1-.2 mm, possible mushy feeling but much quieter

They are cheap enough to install, it's really gonna be a matter of your preference, I would buy a cheap bag of o rings and try them out on a couple or 1 keys and see if you like it first

I would think that the thinner the o ring the better, but obv that's up to you

I dont believe it interferes with the magnet

[noble vine]

so .1 wouldnt work but something like .3 or .4 would?

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s what it was, couldn’t remember. Thanks. But like Mansen said, it’s not an issue on their keyboards

[wheat maple]

mostly yes, but some not, most notably youtube's v dictates the video id
you might also be interested in clear urls that would safely remove it for you

[glad ruin]

No opposite is what I'm saying, smaller o rings the better

[marble shuttle]

burger mount ? or putting o ring around the stem circle

[noble vine]

burger mount

[noble vine]

i mean for actuation

smaller o rings better but i mean 0.1 actuation wouldn't render ??

[glad ruin]

It effects the bottom end of motion not the beginning

so it does not impact the actuation at all.

[noble vine]

so 0.2 o rings would be okay for burger mounting?

[glad ruin]

I thought you were asking about o rings for the switches not the mounting 🥴

so here ^^

[noble vine]

thank you

[noble vine]

okay sounds great

[glad ruin]

For m2 screws the m stands for mm, so the screws are 2mm, 2mm o rings would fit around them, but I think 1.5 would be better because they expand to fit snuggly.

I think need another opinion

You need longer screws though, like m2x6mm

[crimson sky]

Wdym

[glad ruin]

I'm waiting for someone to come out with some machined bone key caps

Can you machine bone?

[crimson sky]

I mean you can kinda machine anything

As long as it is solid

I'd be more worried about it discomposing

And getting brittle

Horns should work nice though?

[grizzled path]

the whole brand is jokingly edgy while at the same time it wants to appear as a super premium option for the high ballers
I have no idea if it is actually good quality or not, but to me it seems like they really wanted to carve a niche high priced product, and precision market it for a certain crowd and probably succeeded doing so, that's cool

if I had a cnc machine I would probably do something similar

[crimson sky]

it's not really jokingly edgy, just a very specific kinda of art direction?

and that specific board was designed specifically for the wooting lol

there will be a non-wooting compatible version of it in the future

[grizzled path]

hr giger aesthetic copy, but even their own descriptions are trolling you know

[crimson sky]

that guy made a fucking album

to include with his boards

the logo was designed by the same guy that made the aphex twin logo

baion is serious with the aesthetic

[grizzled path]

oh that's why it looked familiar

[crimson sky]

baion got burned hard by manufacturing in china

which is why his stuff is kinda pricy now

since it is machined in finland

in this case with non-chinese steel

[pale aspen]

$320 for made in finland?

[crimson sky]

and he has to recoup costs from old projects

[pale aspen]

not bad

[crimson sky]

still expensive

[pale aspen]

yeah, but fjell is around too also made in china

too tall for me

[crimson sky]

the fjell is expensive anyways

also 2 part vs 1 part is a big difference

made in china gets stupid cheap tho

oh also 70 series alu

which is more expenisve to machine than 60 series alu

for reference, the F1 was in the ballpark of a fjell

made in korea

that thing prob has more mass just in brass than a fjell got total

oh, just under

100g off

[grizzled path]

I mean the guy is finnish, no?

everyone and their mother has their own metal workshop here, the labor probably doesn't cost as much as you think for the guy

I'm pretty sure it's all just tongue-in-cheek stuff and if you take it seriously you just got trolled hard, the effort of course is admirable

[crimson sky]

having one that produces a good quality product is something else

needs to have 5 axis cnc for what he does

Rip me ig

[fallow hearth]

Does anyone have a sound comparison of lekker hand lubed vs stock

[grizzled path]

yeah they do

don't get me wrong I don't hate them, it's just funny to me

[crimson sky]

?

do you know why it is labeled as "made in finland"

[grizzled path]

huh? because the guy is finnish and the building happens here?

[crimson sky]

no

because that is a fixed top part for a board originally made in china

(literally the board in my picture)

his theming is entirely consistent btw

idk why you would consider it to be a troll

[grizzled path]

I looked at the older ex23 products on the site, there the bottom was made in china but later ones are fully made here, no?

[crimson sky]

no

there are new ones made in finland now

but it was originally only made in china

with a lot of them having issues

then a lot of them got recoated in finland

"genelec" models

since they have the same coating as genelec speakers do

and then some that have finnish tops

[grizzled path]

this is 100% tongue-in-cheek, also the company does not exist, at least not with that name. it means Matti-Juhani's smoked candace and bitumen board company

[crimson sky]

not sure if there are fully made in finland ones

[grizzled path]

https://baionlenja.com/products/ex-23-bt-burned this is fully made here as far as I know

[crimson sky]

yea prob

[slow idol]

anybody here try the Lekker Switch - Linear45 ? who is this recommended for? old people or?

[crimson sky]

that is prob tongue in cheek because the machining was fucked lol

[grizzled path]

as is this

you probably don't get the humor in the smoked candace thing as you're not finnish

[crimson sky]

I mean I do get it

but he is talking about a production error lol

[crimson sky]

I mean gotta hand it to you on that one, he just did a pattern that looked cool and people said it did shit

and he rolled with it
