#

yeap

harsh dove
#

I mean there's a tv in the background and my spacebar is tryna murder my desk but other than that, its decent

fluid ravine
#

didnt you order like a mousepad or smth

harsh dove
#

yeah a felt pad

fluid ravine
#

desk pad

#

idk

harsh dove
#

not really a mouse pad per se but

#

ye

fluid ravine
#

ever since i took out my old desk pad
i thought about my spacebar stomping on my desk

#

but was alright

#

surprisingly

harsh dove
#

yeah i hate it lol

fluid ravine
#

back then i had a hollow spacebar for some damn reason

#

thought it was the desk

#

but it wasnt
just my mounting style and the tempest mod

#

drived me crazy

harsh dove
#

yeah I feel you, I know it's my desk cause if I put it on my Otsu, it goes away

#

and the Otsu is thin

#

I just need a girthier desk tbh

#

a thoccy desk if you will

fluid ravine
#

main part of my desk is made out of glass

harsh dove
#

you scare me

fluid ravine
#

wait does it matter if the case has feets?

#

which raises the case off the table like a few mm

#

shouldnt it sound different if the case is directly touching the table?

harsh dove
#

I feel like it would change the sound profile slightly if thre's more space under the keyboard

fluid ravine
#

or like really close to the table

#

hmm blobhyperthinkfast

#

my brain is not braining

harsh dove
#

and sadly with my Alumaze, I'm using the big feet because with the small feet, they're slightly uneven and it bothers me lol

#

so once I get that pad under I'll go back to the slim feet

#

cause it should balance it out

elder dune
#

my speakers use spikes that are very narrow, so it can't couple very well to the ground. for a keyboard that's not so good to destroy a wooden desk

#

basically vibrating stuff around keyboard/speakers makes resonances that are uneven and dont sound very good to your ears often

shrewd hatch
#

Do you guys recommend the brass plate module for the tofu redux?

fluid ravine
#

talking about the switch plate?

loud zephyr
shrewd hatch
#

Yeah the weight

fluid ravine
#

brass weight

#

lol

#

its your choice

shrewd hatch
#

25 bucks tho not sure if itd make any much of a difference

fluid ravine
#

it just increase weight
potentially making it more "premium"

loud zephyr
#

It adds decent weight but that's about it

#

I'd def buy it for the Acrylic case though, at least you can check out the bling

fluid ravine
#

haha fax

loud zephyr
#

I do wonder though, with no bottom brass weight does the empty cavity make a hollow sound.

#

I'd test it but I'm sleepy

harsh dove
#

Stabilizer wire foam

loud zephyr

#

Testing one rn

#

Just did two of em

fluid ravine
loud zephyr
#

Probably a good soluton for anyone who hates the sound of their spacebar

fluid ravine
#

im not going to lie

harsh dove
#

Honestly

fluid ravine
#

i feel like it would be a 40/60 chance of it working

#

but

harsh dove

#

who knows

#

Just have to know what you’re doing

#

And I always know what I am doing

fluid ravine
loud zephyr

#

I forgot too

loud zephyr
harsh dove
#

Nah I’m just testing out some stab wire foam

#

Basically fills the gap between wire and plate

fluid ravine
#

stab wire foam?

#

ah

#

ah

harsh dove
#

That’s what I’m calling it

fluid ravine
#

i remember

#

no i dont

#

lol

#

i dont like the sound of that

harsh dove
#

Says it’s supposed to reduce stabs noise and wobble

#

It’s poron foam

fluid ravine
#

where does it go?

harsh dove
#

Comes with these

#

But the top one is the one I’m using

#

Also comes with stuff for PCB screw in stabs

#

As you can see in the top photo

fluid ravine
#

dude my brain is so tired and slow to the point where i dont understand what you just said

#

today is not the day

i dont like drinking coffee pepecry

Coffee is great

#

I mean boba is cool ig

fluid ravine
#

boba for me :>

harsh dove
#

lol

fluid ravine
#

my type of coffee

#

lol

harsh dove
#

There’s this boba shop i go to on my lunch breaks sometimes but I always just get a strawberry smoothie

#

Cause they use real strawberries and it taste amazing

harsh dove
#

Ye ye

fluid ravine
#

usually when i look at the menu
when i dont know what i get, the first thing i do is look for the word, Strawberry

#

when i see it
boom
I WANT THAT

harsh dove
#

Haha basically

fluid ravine
#

haha

#

about 14 years of my life still obsessed with strawberry

#

could never change my mind

stoic seal
#

so i found the issue with the stablizers

#

its the plate, i was not using any foam, which did not support the plate properly, and with the tight tolerances in the stablilizers, they stopped functioning as intended

#

problem now with my PC plate, is tht

#

the included foam does not include proper suppport for all the stabilizer keys

#

idek why the foam for the ansi plate is so cut down, maybe to offer compatibility for ISO plates?

#

still dumb and probably would have made more sense to make a better foam for each layout

fluid ravine
#

no

#

cutouts specifically made for the module plus

stoic seal
#

oh

fluid ravine
#

screw in stabs/pcb mounted stabs have some what bigger housings
they need space to clip onto the pcb (the screw)

#

the stock foam only support enough space for plate mounted stabs

stoic seal
#

oh ok

fluid ravine
#

thats why the foam is cutout

stoic seal
#

how do you think i should the solve the problem of the having no support for the stabs then?

fluid ravine
#

lemme read your thing again

stoic seal
#

thats how i fixed the spacebar problem

#

i realized that without foam on the stock and PC plate, the spacebar doesnt go up properly

fluid ravine
stoic seal
#

still using the durock stabs, i prefer way more over the wootings

#

Day #36 of waiting for the 60he module

fluid ravine
#

cus im trying to understand why the plate is not supporting itself although its screwed to the pocb

fluid ravine
#

Just this^
No switches or keycaps

fluid ravine
urban kraken
fluid ravine
urban kraken
#

Comes in the plastic case aswell?

fluid ravine
untold wigeon
#

Yo chat what’s the best plastic case for the wooting

fluid ravine
#

The new module that is going to be released some what later is going to be called as the Wooting 60he "Plus" - Calder

#

You said that it sounds like its gonna be expensive so i replied with it being majority of the Wooting 60he price

fluid ravine
#

trying to do calculations of how much it cost you know?

#

cus the pc plate and the foam is like $20 usd

#

the pcb im not sure

#

the wooting 60he is like 175

urban kraken
#

Plastic case is worth close to nothing

loud zephyr
fluid ravine
#

possibly like 20 or so

urban kraken
#

So atleast $100 probably $120

fluid ravine
#

the case foam im not sure as well

urban kraken
#

That's my guess

mental hemlock
#

my spacebar is super clacky tbh

fluid ravine
#

since 70 count is $40

untold wigeon
mental hemlock
#

90????

fluid ravine
#

so that should mean the module could be around $100

untold wigeon
#

Yes bro the tofu 60 is like 90 for me

fluid ravine
untold wigeon
#

makes sense

dont want to ping him

he might be doing smth

stoic seal
#

so what should i make of the stabs then? shoudl i just ditch em for the stock ones?

#

idk if that makes any difference tbh

untold wigeon
#

Would this work

fluid ravine
loud zephyr
#

May as well just use the stock case

mental hemlock
#

stop cheaping out and get a tofu or a psd60

like elaborate the problem

stoic seal

yea they're tray mounted

fluid ravine
#

try to be a little bit specific
i will see if i can understand

stoic seal
#

ik for a fact that teh roblem is related to the stabilizers

#

i forgot

#

i did not try the poron plate foam

fluid ravine
static root
#

I only need to buy one of this right?

fluid ravine
loud zephyr
static root
#

sorry I went through back to our convo just to ask u

#

this

fluid ravine

you said theres a wooting on its way @static root ?

fluid ravine

o

fluid ravine
#

you dont need to buy

static root
#

I didn't see that

#

I'm talking about the switch pads

untold wigeon
#

Yo can someone lube my switches

fluid ravine

the wooting that is on its way contains
ABS Wooting Case
Wooting Foam
Wooting PCBA
Poron Plate foam
Steel Plate
L60's switches

i am the service boi himself

untold wigeon

I got better ones but I’d get banned if I showed em

static root

you sent me a link to switch pads

fluid ravine

what you dont understand

#

these

stoic seal
#

poron foam does not help

untold wigeon
static root
#

I'm asking if I'm buying one quantity

fluid ravine
static root
#

since one have 120 ct

stoic seal
#

i guess ill have to try the original stabs then

fluid ravine
#

one 60% board has 61 switches

#

(ANSI)

static root
#

o

#

ok

untold wigeon
#

Lowkey might order some case off Temu

fluid ravine
untold wigeon
#

Temu cheaper

stoic seal
#

now im disaappointed

#

the stock ones work

#

the shape of the clip might be it

#

but

#

sound and functionality are more important than rgb

stoic seal
#

i really wish that that stabs form wooting were white or transparent

fluid ravine
stoic seal
#

their shapes are different

fluid ravine
#

so its just your durock stabs

stoic seal
#

basically yea

untold wigeon
#

Bro clean up after yourself dawg

#

What

stoic seal
#

The bottom of the stab doesn't protrude out as much

#

And I've been modding for 3 hours now

#

Modding keyboards isn't always going to end up in a clean desk

fluid ravine
stoic seal
#

i really like it

#

i wonder how many of us here have the same mousepad

fluid ravine
#

so i had to let it go a few months ago

stoic seal
#

i got mine almost 2 months ago

loud zephyr
stoic seal
#

thats what happened basically

#

the flex ofthe plate, even on something as stiff as the provided steel plate, will prevent the key from rebounding

#

so to fix that

#

i just added foam

#

but that made the problem worse for every other stab key other than the spacebar

#

so

#

no im stuck with the stock wooting stabs

fluid ravine
#

so its just the durock stabs

stoic seal
#

yep

scarlet rock
stoic seal
#

they would have worked fine on any other keyboard im pretty sure

#

but i can test with my old keyboard

fluid ravine
#

onyl soemthing like between the switch and pcb
for example switch pads, if they're too thick they could affect the sensors

stoic seal
#

the not so good or trusty gmmk 2 65^

fluid ravine
#

tape mod is also one of the problems when it comes to the sensor

#

tape can make the pcb bend to the point where it will mess up the actuation point

fluid ravine
scarlet rock
#

just gotta be careful with the tape mod then

fluid ravine
#

just a possiblity

scarlet rock
#

do you know if the ks-20 actuation point could be lower to 0.1mm?

fluid ravine
#

holdup

#

lemme take a look

scarlet rock
#

the website says 0.4mm but ive seen on reddit that it doesnt change cause its software

untold wigeon
#

Which one is better chat

stoic seal
#

the actuation point is based off the sensor, not the switch

marble shuttle
#

Someone used and Said it is min 0.15mm

stoic seal
#

ive had no issue using .15mm actuation point with the ks20

fluid ravine
#

0.15mm

scarlet rock
fluid ravine
#

but comparing it to 0.1mm

#

its really not noticable

stoic seal
#

well

fluid ravine
#

0.05m higher

#

its nearly impossible to notice

scarlet rock
#

ok so the magnet height placement does matter

untold wigeon
#

It’s possible bro that .05 will throw my Fortnite games

stoic seal
#

if you take a neodymium magnet and put it like 1.2cm away from the hall effect sensor, it will produce an output despite it being further away than the actual actuation point

fluid ravine
#

more like it can fk up your board easily with one simple mod

scarlet rock
#

i mean if you add switch pads and the ks-20, it does add up

stoic seal
#

further proving that the sensor and MCU control teh actuation point, not teh switch itself, assuming that allthe magnetic switches are the smae and based off the lekker 60

#

but yea, not put a neodymium magnet near your wooting

untold wigeon
#

Ignore my voice

untold wigeon
scarlet rock
#

its cheaper

untold wigeon
#

30 dollars more

stoic seal
#

yep

fluid ravine
stoic seal
#

the durock stabs work on my old keyboard

untold wigeon
#

Cap

fluid ravine
#

yes

#

you can

untold wigeon
#

Send link

#

No you can’t bro

fluid ravine
#

lol

stoic seal
#

so its just design form wooting that limits my stab choices

scarlet rock
untold wigeon
#

Add another like 30

fluid ravine
#

someone has it

#

not me

scarlet rock

i guess

untold wigeon

what keycaps goes well with the red redux

untold wigeon
#

Like

#

Red key caps

#

Duhh

stoic seal
#

i know why the stabs dont work

scarlet rock
#

thats too red

untold wigeon
#

Red on red

#

Goes hard

fluid ravine
#

yeah i agree

#

thats too red

#

depending on the shade

stoic seal
fluid ravine
stoic seal
#

The tiny bit of plastic is flared out a bit more on the wooting

#

Leaving space for the stabilizer to function

scarlet rock
#

guess ill go hunt

stoic seal
#

Oh my god

#

Well

fluid ravine
#

on the side of the housing right?

stoic seal
#

On the front

#

By the end of the wire

#

But it could also be that

fluid ravine
#

my asians eyes cant see shi

stoic seal
#

Mine either

untold wigeon
#

Skill issue

fluid ravine
stoic seal
#

The the wooting has way more room to function on the x axis as well

#

The stem is slightly smaller

untold wigeon
#

Do you have wob keys on Ali express

fluid ravine
#

I GOT IT

#

I GET IT NOW

#

HAHA

#

i use to have that problem

#

lmfaoo

#

ok the clips on the housing
where its clips on the plate

#

you're right

#

on the durock its too short

#

it cant clip all the way
if it doesnt it will still be pushed back which would touch the stem causing it to not function
I use to have this problem when i put bandaid at that spot in my hyperx origin 60 stabs
It was so thick to the point the clips are still pushed back instead of clipping

scarlet rock
#

i only found the red samurai for the red case

stoic seal
#

goddamn

#

well

#

time to find the heat gun and bend this sucker back into place

#

jk

#

but that is so dumb

fluid ravine
#

hell no 😂

stoic seal
#

well

#

i guess im stuck with the stock stabs then

fluid ravine
#

i think the only solution now is just buy new stabs or just keep stock stabs

stoic seal
#

yea

fluid ravine
#

stock stabs sound good

#

if you do proper lubing like any other stabs

stoic seal
#

yea, but they dont match my keyboard aesthetic

#

basically all white for max rgb

fluid ravine
#

like tirade said
if you do proper lube job and all that to your stabs
it will sound perfect

stoic seal
#

for thats not as important as sound and function

#

yea

fluid ravine
#

my ass is struggling with wire balancing

stoic seal
#

i modded the stock stabs around the time i first got teh wooting

fluid ravine
#

so thinking of getting TX AP stabs

stoic seal
#

so

#

what do you recommend for stabs that are basically just the wooting stabs but with clear housing and stem?

fluid ravine
#

im not a stabilizer expert so

stoic seal
#

welp

fluid ravine
#

nor have i bought stabs once in my life

#

i just mod with knowledge

#

dont really like "buy with knowldge" if you know what i mean

stoic seal
#

yea i get it

scarlet rock
untold wigeon
#

Yo tenz how did you find the tofu on Ali express

stoic seal
#

its doesnt for the reasons mentioned above

#

its literally too tight of a fit for even the PC plate

#

and the clip pushes back into the way of the sire

#

so it never rebounds

scarlet rock
#

thats weird since it should all be the same

stoic seal
#

they arent though

scarlet rock
#

got a pic of it on the plate?

fluid ravine
stoic seal
#

we have pictures, just scroll up

#

its only form like 5 minutes ago

#

but this

#

the stem is smaller on the wooting stabs

#

so there is no issue there

#

but the tight fit of the stabs on the durck means that the pushing back of the clip gets in the way of the stem and wire

#

oh well

scarlet rock
#

i mean you got a pic of it on the plate

untold wigeon
#

And the Poseidon 60

stoic seal
#

i dont have a pic of it on the plate, but its obvoius enough what happened here

scarlet rock
#

hm ive been using durock plate stabs and never had a fitment issue

stoic seal
#

on the wooting?

scarlet rock
#

on any

stoic seal
#

it might jjust be a qc issue for me then

stoic seal
#

i need to know if its the wooting since the durock clears work on my old keyboaard

scarlet rock
#

my pc plate is still coming in but i do have the durock stab and gonna put them on

stoic seal
#

but not on the wooting

#

i dont use foam, so there is no support for the plate other than the standoffs to the pcb

#

using foam fixed the durock clear stab for my spacebar though4

scarlet rock
#

could it just be youre putting it on wrong <,<

stoic seal
#

it isnt

#

ive worked with stabilizer for a long time

#

no once did this happen until i got the durock cleaers on my wooting

#

base wooting stabs? fine
base gmmmk 2 stabs? fine

#

durock clears on gmmk 2 65? fine

scarlet rock
#

i guess ill let you know when i get my pc plate

stoic seal
#

but durock clears on wooting is somehow disfunctional

#

and i mean that for both the steel AND PC plate

#

so its the stab

#

anyways its 1am, so i gtg to sleep but do let me know how it goes once you get teh pc plate

holy shit the pc plate goes so hard

it sounds so much deeper now, no more high pitched "plastic" noises

#

Is there an aluminum case that fits the two HE? Or at least one coming soon?

bronze grove
#

No and no I'm afraid.

#

Unlike the 60HE where there's a larger, shared standard among brands that we tapped into (meaning our case works with others and vice versa), there is no such standard for fullsized keyboards.

Also given the design of the 2HE (being a plate overhanging the bottom case, instead of being in a tray), would make it a very difficult product to design an aluminium case for. That being said there is a german company looking into such a project separately from us.

untold wigeon
#

wouldnt it cost like 500 euros for such thing

#

and be heavy asf

#

Yes and yes.

@harsh dove i have the same stabs wire foam, can you show exactly where did u put the foam for the spacebar ? I mean it’s very little and the wire is very long so

#

Idk where to put it

And how many did u put ?

#

I was thinking on putting one one left side one on right, one in middle seems too much

#

Was that FR4 plate from KBDFANS? Did you use the stock poron foam from the Wooting or what was included with the FR4 plate. My FR4 plate sounds better than stock metal but not as nice as my identical keyboard with PE foam mod and Boba 4UT switches. Did the tape mod make any difference?

case design can be done cheaper or more expensive. aim RRP is around 200 for base version, 3d printed feet and trying to keep full fat version under 300 or around there with full brass hardware. Weight of case alone is 1.7kg so far, we can add more brass if people want it lol. WIll know once final aluminium version milled next week. https://discordapp.com/channels/167181566978555904/984799440072220692/1174862504237744178 is final pre-prototype last night.

Yeah, I pity any office intruders xD. Maybe we can sharpen one end lol

untold wigeon
#

holy fuck 1.7kg

elder dune
#

I'm pretty sure there are some 2-3kg cases out there for other boards but yeah it's got some heft with just the brass in plastic currently (15% infill). If people want more we can add a brass plate but I don't think it's necessary

velvet egret
#

1.7kg is def not bad.. for a full size keyboard.. Fjell is like 2kg and that's for 60%keyboards

elder dune
#

Dang okay. I guess they use lot of brass in it. We can look at making a solid brass case if demand is there, or add weight, but as it is, it's a nice weight already. I would use an aluminium version if I was travelling with it already..

harsh dove

#

The module comes with PCB screw in stabilizer support (and installed), you get to pick your switches, since L60 aren't preinstalled. You get a PC switch plate.

You have to bring your own keycaps and case though. And switches.

#

I’m a bit new to this but what’s the advantage of the screw in stabilizers?

bronze grove
#

Just different. Some prefer them, some hate them.

polar girder
#

How they’re attached and what they are attached to. More of a difference really. Screw in to PCB vs Clip in to Plate

bronze grove
#

A steel one.

cyan adder
#

What do you prefer then ? Keebtape or Moleskin ?

harsh dove
#

I’m actually pretty impressed with the keebtape sound but I’ll use it over the weekend and see how I feel

#

Best way I can put it is the keebtape is more poppy and the moleskin is more mellow and slightly more muted I think

cyan adder
# harsh dove

Shouldn’t it supposed to be on the pcb, not on the plate ? XD

bronze grove
#

Plate mounted stabilizers (such as on the 60HE) are indeed plate...mounted. Not on the PCB.

cyan adder
bronze grove
#

That piece of foam is supposedly to help dampen the wire slightly.

cyan adder
#

Yeah but it should work either on pcb or plate since it can touch the pcb during usage

harsh dove
#

Yeah

#

That why I said it’s up to you really

cyan adder
#

Pretty smart to put it on plate actually

harsh dove
#

Might be better on the PCB

#

Idk

cyan adder
#

I was going to put it on pcb tbh

#

Haven’t thought about putting it in plate

harsh dove
#

I was tryna be different

#

lol

cyan adder
#

Well my keeptape is 200km away from me, still 🙃🙃🙃

harsh dove
#

I did however put little foam pads on the PCB under the stab housing where the stab stem hits the PCB

cyan adder
#

But I have the foam kit / stabs kit

#

Same

#

It works good for me

harsh dove
#

Yeah

#

I used the thin ones

cyan adder
#

I didn’t put 0.3mm, I used 0.2

#

Yeaaaaah

#

The one that you need to take out of the full stabs housing thing right

harsh dove
#

Didn’t want to interfere too much with the tolerances

cyan adder
#

Ahaha

#

I don’t think it would have done much difference

#

But I wanna play it safe too so

harsh dove
#

Yeah I’m sure the thicker foam would’ve worked but didn’t wanna try it

cyan adder
#

This kit is awesome, 5€ and alot of stuff to tunes stabs

harsh dove
#

Yeah

#

Over the weekend I’ll test out the foam on the PCB instead of the plate and see how that is

#

Plus with it being on the PCB, you have less chance of placing it incorrectly and preventing the switch from clipping into the plate @cyan adder

#

With my method, you run that chance

#

But can always just readjust

#

@harsh dove how was the keebtape?

harsh dove
#

Better than I expected

#

Gonna try it over the weekend and then see if I like it over the moleskin

#

Main thing I like about my moleskin is that I cut out the holes for all of the screws rather than just the stand off screws like the keebtape, so anytime I wanna remove my PCB, I have to take the keebtape off , vs my moleskin I could just leave it on

#

Guess I could just cut holes into the keebtape

#

@cyan adder

#

After further inspection, I actually think it was a good idea for me to put them on the plate

#

Because I don’t think the foam would’ve been thick enough to touch the wire from the PCB

#

So I’m not even gonna test them on the PCB cause I can visually see that the gap is larger and wouldn’t even touch the wire

#

I think with PCB screw in stabs, the placement would be better on the PCB vs the plate

#

Cause the wires would be closer to the PCB

# gentle locust Was that FR4 plate from KBDFANS? Did you use the stock poron foam from the Wooti...

Yeah, I'm using the FR4 plate from KBDFans, I'm using the stock plate foam from Wooting but the poron case foam from KBD that came with the Tofu Redux. With the tapemod on the PCB I find a lot of the higher pitched frequencies are cut out so the bottom out of the switches sounds really deep. The upstroke still sounds a little hollow and weak but there's no real way to resolve that since it's likely due to top housing material and stem wobble. A few users here have gone through the painstaking process of applying medical tape to the rails of the top housing to eliminate the plasticky upstroke sound.

#

The main reason why your build with the U4Ts sounds better is because the U4T switches have different materials for the switch, tigher tolerances as well, my U4Ts barely have any wobble even without switch films. I don't mind the sound of my modded Wooting now, the modifiers sound really deep but the alphas kinda sound like Mr Krabs walking.

#

I have my Vega and Ikki68 for day to day work, I only pull out the Wooting for playing games so at this point I'm pretty satisfied with the sound.
