Happy Thanksgiving to you too 🦃

[stray tiger]

Day 1 of no longer asking "wen module?"

[bronze grove]

wen module deliver

[marble shuttle]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH

aGGGGGGGG*HR

day 1 waiting modujle

[harsh dove]

Day 1 of waiting for my module pre order to arrive

[lean juniper]

MODULE discount code is for who? HE OWNER ?

[prisma turret]

Will salvation flex wooting while gaming? Anyone has experience?

[glossy pagoda]

Has 60 and has W2HE

[lean juniper]

😦 *

[stray tiger]

No, it will provide a slight bounce but no flexing

[prisma turret]

Should I pull the trigger? Salvation on sale rn 😆

[harsh dove]

oh damn

it's like $140 off

[untold wigeon]

Where?

[harsh dove]

NovelKeys

[marble shuttle]

bro price

[prisma turret]

Novelkeys

[quiet bay]

Wth 140 dollars off??

Thats huge

[harsh dove]

$210 vs $350

[prisma turret]

Plus if you have shop cash. I got $5 a week ago.

[harsh dove]

Damn no sales on the Fjell

[quiet bay]

I just checked too

Sad

Fjell would probably feel more premium due to its weight

But Salvation looks cool

[prisma turret]

If youre in secondary market. I saw someone selling bn fjell for $200 in reddit.

[quiet bay]

oh wow

[harsh dove]

Damn I might have to snag this Salvation tho, this is a nice sale

[quiet bay]

Snag it

[fringe torrent]

doooit

[harsh dove]

what color tho

black, grey, white

[quiet bay]

White or black

[prisma turret]

Black on my cart rn.

[fringe torrent]

black is sleek af

[harsh dove]

right yeah

[keen basalt]

Does anyone know any nice looking keycaps in de layout suited for wooting?

[quiet bay]

Oo u have a salvation??

[fringe torrent]

i do

[quiet bay]

How is it

[fringe torrent]

i love it

its my main keyboard

[quiet bay]

Its even better that your keyboard layout is symmetrical

😍

[obsidian dagger]

pbtfans has nice colors and offers international kits on most sets. teleportkeys has german layouts too.

[fringe torrent]

and if you're curious this is the wooting in the salvation

[keen basalt]

Thanks

[harsh dove]

@fringe torrent all your fault btw

[fringe torrent]

[harsh dove]

Lmao

[quiet bay]

I want to get a white fjell or salvation one day

[quiet bay]

Wtf that was quick

[harsh dove]

[quiet bay]

Impulsive buying 🤣

[fringe torrent]

you should get some switches and keycaps for it

[fluid ravine]

Happy thanksgiving!

[quiet bay]

U too

[fringe torrent]

salvation sounds nice

[harsh dove]

Got a wooting module on the way with L45s

[quiet bay]

Another wooting? 😮

[harsh dove]

Yep

lol

Just need to buy keycaps now

[old swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/dj-khaled-another-one-gif-26093316

[fringe torrent]

i need to find some switches to build my other 60% up

just cant decide what ones i want yet

[harsh dove]

Get some dragonfruits

lol

[old swallow]

He wanted switches, not food 🤦‍♂️

[harsh dove]

These switches are food

[quiet bay]

Considering how switches are named these days, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was one

called dragonfruits…

[fringe torrent]

who

[old swallow]

There are, but funny haha

[harsh dove]

Welcome to the club brother @prisma turret

[old swallow]

You. Or am i losing it 🤔

[harsh dove]

Narisa is a she btw

[old swallow]

Oh, my bad

[fringe torrent]

name is pretty obvious

[old swallow]

Yeah, fair point i guess. But its foreign to me soo

[fringe torrent]

nebula & tealios but both kinda hard to get atm

[harsh dove]

Ooo the nebulas

Those would be sex

[old swallow]

Tealios always make me think they are lekkers

[quiet bay]

They look the exact same

I would not be able to tell

[fringe torrent]

different shade

let me grab one

[quiet bay]

They look very similar

[harsh dove]

Yeah and the housing looks more transparent or clear

[quiet bay]

If I didnt have a comparison I would mistake them for lekkers lol

[old swallow]

Side by side i guess, but without reference

[harsh dove]

Yeah without a comparison they would be Lekkers to most

[fluid ravine]

Idk why but to me they made it looks so kewl

[old swallow]

I think someone posted a 65% or something a while ago with zealios. Confused a lot of people

[fluid ravine]

Idk it's just me 💀

[harsh dove]

Yes see

Lekker housing is cloudy

Bottom housing

Not top

[old swallow]

Yeah, i guess. But without them side by side

[harsh dove]

Right

Very similar

Also lekker stem has more green

[old swallow]

Yeah and bit different shape

[harsh dove]

Yea

That’s for the large springs they use

[old swallow]

Do a 75% with zealious and post it to troll everyone here

[fringe torrent]

75% too big

60% best size

[old swallow]

Yeah, but do a 75% to bait people into thinking thats the new form factor hahaa

But yeah, im also gonna build a neo65. Anything under 60 is just too small for me tho

[prisma turret]

Any tips to reduce plastic sound of the switches? Besides lube.

[harsh dove]

Switch Tape Mod

[fringe torrent]

and some keycaps just make things worse

[harsh dove]

^

[fringe torrent]

trial and error

[harsh dove]

yep yep

[old swallow]

PBT usually better sound then ABS

[prisma turret]

Switch tape mod is new to me. What kind of tape do you use?

[harsh dove]

Medical Paper Tape

Nexcare Gentle Paper Tape, Medical Paper Tape, Secures Dressings and Lifts Away Gently - 1 In x 10 Yds, 2 Rolls of Tape https://a.co/d/f8fB5OA

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1173784544529363034

Instructions on how to do it ^

[prisma turret]

Thanks @harsh dove . Appreciate it

[harsh dove]

No problem!

[fringe torrent]

also the case will play a part in how things sound

what case are you running ?

[harsh dove]

Plastic case is better for thock but aluminum case feels more premium and adds weight to the board

And you can still create thocc in aluminum

[prisma turret]

I just got a salvation 😆

[harsh dove]

What you have rn tho

[prisma turret]

Stock

[fringe torrent]

nice

salvations bouncy surface is pretty cool

[harsh dove]

Yeah I’m excited to try it

[fringe torrent]

just whatever you do dont bottom down insanely hard to the point where the usb port touches the case

[harsh dove]

I’d assume gummy mount is somewhat similar

[fringe torrent]

its got that much travel its possible

[harsh dove]

Oh okay lol

I flip my case foam tho so that the usb port doesn’t hit

[fringe torrent]

in the build guide they rec you put the poron foam pieces in the middle of each channel but you can fine tune things depending where you put it

[harsh dove]

But the salvation, you can’t use case foam right?

[fringe torrent]

determines how much bounce you want

[harsh dove]

Oh okay

[fringe torrent]

i think some have used it with foam but at the same time it kinda defeats the purpose

[harsh dove]

Right

[fringe torrent]

i think the case was designed to use without it

[harsh dove]

I don’t really see how case foam would work unless you made cut outs for all 12 fiberglass springs

[prisma turret]

Have you tried no pcb foam? If so does it sound better.

[fringe torrent]

1 tip tho get some loctite purple 222 and use a tiny bit of it around the screw that holds the standoff

otherwise it could unthread out when unscrewing the pcb

[fringe torrent]

my salvation build has no foam or tape

granted its not a wooting in it

[harsh dove]

For all the standoff screws?

[fringe torrent]

its the wilba solder pcb that comes with it

[fringe torrent]

just the 2 that hold the pcb

[harsh dove]

Oh okay

[prisma turret]

In case i’m not using it for wooting. Gonna try plateless.

[fringe torrent]

these 2 screws

[harsh dove]

Thank you

Love the way that looks

Unique

[fringe torrent]

its a pitty that its hidden

but looks so nice

[harsh dove]

Right lol

But we know it’s there

That’s what matters

[fringe torrent]

GMK 80082 BL00 + artisan
Gateron Black ink V2
TX AP stabs
FR4 plate and solder PCB

salvation build

[harsh dove]

I almost wish they did a thin chrome line around the edge of the case kinda like a Lian Li style

Black Inks are nice

And I like that GMK 80082 set

Same with that other set you have

[fringe torrent]

the pink version also looks nice

but the blue is

[harsh dove]

Dualshot R2s

[harsh dove]

Yeah I also like the GMK Olivia’s

[fringe torrent]

thats pretty hard to find now i think

[harsh dove]

I wouldn’t mind some of them

lol

Ima look rn

[fringe torrent]

this is what i need the switches for is to build this up again

[harsh dove]

Which case?

[elder swallow]

cute case

any recommended spring Gs for cerakeys on wooting

[fringe torrent]

it also makes a nice wrist rest

[harsh dove]

Looks soft lol

[lean juniper]

Module ordered

[marble shuttle]

Still in first batch ?

[lean juniper]

What ur batch ?

[marble shuttle]

Eu wolken

[lean juniper]

Same !

[marble shuttle]

Lesgooooo

[old swallow]

Arent Wolken and clouds the only module batches so far?

[harsh dove]

When does your batch say it’ll arrive

[marble shuttle]

Mid feb you ?

Deushe post so slow for turkey

[harsh dove]

Mid January

[old swallow]

Oh what lol, so different ETA for same batch

[harsh dove]

Mine is NA Clouds

He is EU

[old swallow]

I have wolken too, and it was early or mid january

[harsh dove]

Oh

[old swallow]

iirc

I might be wrong tho

[marble shuttle]

Depens on where you live

[harsh dove]

Said my batch should arrive to warehouse around Dec 4th

[marble shuttle]

Iam unluckiest person

[old swallow]

I am in NL, so maybe shipping there gets priority

[marble shuttle]

i wish i

i could there

too 😄

atleast i dont pay any product dog shit taxes over 300 400 euro 😄

[rustic axle]

Anyone know if longer springs for the wooting switches exist?

[crimson sky]

Considering there are no known good afternarket springs

Prob not

At least not in an easily accessible way, you could prob find some if you know the exact specs you want

And then hope they aren't omega crunchy

[stray tiger]

Even if you could find the correct diameter in a length you want, the bigger issue is making sure they aren't responsive to the magnets in the switches like normal switch springs.

Damn the discount price of the Alumaze60 when buying with the module is a great price!

[lunar sand]

Damn… I did it again. Ordered the module 🤣 need to give my wooting to my kid lol 🤣

[bronze grove]

[harsh dove]

Right, wish I got mine for $89

[stray tiger]

@fluid ravine I just watched the new BST video and he said he preferred gummy mounting but as I told you, you can't gummy mount the new module unless you swap to plate mount (or potentially clip-in) stabs.

[harsh dove]

Yeah sadly no gummy mount with module

[stray tiger]

Maybe but for the price difference you got yours earlier.

[harsh dove]

But I plan to put it inside the Salvation I just got so

Salvation is $140 off

[harsh dove]

True

[stray tiger]

No cap (I think I'm young enough to say that) the NK sale is legit. There are some GMK sets for sale under $50. If I hadn't had bad luck with my first two salvations I might be tempted. Hell I still might be tempted. I will def pick up some nixies though for another build.

[harsh dove]

Yeah I couldn’t resist that sale when I saw it lol. How did you have bad luck tho, What happened?

[fringe torrent]

what happened with your salvations ?

[harsh dove]

Me first Narisa

[stray tiger]

I did the group buy for the Salvation and when they finally arrived both had damage to the case due to the way they packed them in the zip up case. The zipper on the zip pouch that holds the plate and extras rubbed through the paper around the case and rubbed the finish off. Let me find a pic

[harsh dove]

Damnnnn

Yeah I’d be upset about that too tbh

And that happened twice or you bought two at the same time?

[fringe torrent]

oh i read about the zipper issue

they fixed that now by using bubble wrap in the packaging to stop it

[harsh dove]

Nice

[fringe torrent]

but ya would of sucked after waiting so long for it

[harsh dove]

Ooof

https://tenor.com/view/simon-cowell-thats-a-no-its-a-no-its-a-no-from-me-gif-7663264

[stray tiger]

what's worse is it was both of the boards I ordered. You can see here where the zipper aligns above the spot that was damaged

[harsh dove]

So sad to see

[stray tiger]

Easy fix to wrap with a cheap cloth instead of paper. Either way NK refunded them both.

[fringe torrent]

bad design on the case and packaging

[harsh dove]

Yes and yes

[fringe torrent]

when i got mine from salvun he had a really thick bubble wrap over the top to protect it

[harsh dove]

Glad you got refunded

I love how you called your keyboard a he

[fringe torrent]

i was referring to salvun

[stray tiger]

Sounds like they learned their lesson then. But even that little bit of zipper shouldn't have rubbed off quality anodizing. For the sale price though that's tempting...

[harsh dove]

Oh ok lol

[stray tiger]

I've still got two boards to build and ordered my module and Alumaze today though so I should probably hold off buying anything else.

[fringe torrent]

i still have the hibi june to build

[fluid ravine]

Yep noticed that as well

it's both the space bar and backspace right?

[fluid ravine]

You will always be young :)

[stray otter]

🎶 Forever young🎶

[harsh dove]

Right me too

Not two boards tho just one

I’ve finalized my mods on my current wooting

Think I just need to tune my spacebar a bit and fully decide if I want plate foam with the gummy mount or not

[sterile nest]

I got inspired here but went my own way

[stray tiger]

Running foamless and liking it

[harsh dove]

Yeah, I actually think I like the more open/poppy sound it gives without the foam

Might take it back out

Plus it slightly bothers me how the o-ring warps/bends the foam

[rustic axle]

Huh apparently the springs in the KS20 are 20mm long

[crimson sky]

wooting springs should be longer than standard ks20 I think

thouhg orange ones might be longer

just look at top force

[knotty breach]

well well well

[rustic axle]

Hmm on the gateron page and it says 20mm on it

[crimson sky]

🧢

[rustic axle]

At least according to this image assuming it’s right yeah seems like the orange has longer springs

[knotty breach]

guys

who setup is better

[old swallow]

personally like the right one more

[knotty breach]

this?

?

or the other

[old swallow]

yeah, i prefer that one

[knotty breach]

o ok

i think i m going for this idk

becouse my setup have more blacn than white

but i like both

[unborn cargo]

i can put 12 L45 switches on my 60he and the rest will be L60 right?

i will only put them on the keybinds im using for comp gaming

[untold wigeon]

Yea u can

[unborn cargo]

alr ty man

[knotty breach]

the l45 is better or what i dont understand to much

[bronze grove]

They are LIGHTER

[old swallow]

lighter actuation force

[bronze grove]

Purely personal preference.

[old swallow]

wheres the image mansen?

[bronze grove]

[old swallow]

nvm, found it

[knotty breach]

ok ok thx

[old swallow]

probably obvious looking at the switches, but teal is L60 and yellow L45

[knotty breach]

i m going for that

[glad ruin]

They just have different springs right? No other difference

[bronze grove]

Correct.

[old swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/darth-vader-incorrect-hayden-christensen-anakin-anakin-skywalker-gif-3899021837197386334

they also have differnt colours 😎

[harsh dove]

Depends if he meant performance difference or visual difference

[old swallow]

hey, didnt specify, and im just a know it all

[fathom fiber]

Is it worth it to sell my 60HE and get the module ?

[bronze grove]

Only difference is the screw in stabs

(Also pick a channel and stay there. Don't crosspost questions please)

[wraith notch]

Some other factors to consider…

1. Do you want to buy a polycarbonate plate?

2. Do you want to buy L45 switches?

3. Do you want to buy Wooting's white keycaps?

4. Do you want to buy the Alumaze? (25% Off)

If yes, the module comes with the polycarbonate plate and the other stuff half off.

[cinder merlin]

Or if u already have all of those on ur existing model xD

[rich cosmos]

Have they talked about whether or not the new pcb will be sold without all the other stuff thats included? cuz im willing to pay just to get screw in stabs, but the price is too high rn and i already have everything else thats included.

[cinder merlin]

I've pretty much added all those mods into my existing he now

[bronze grove]

No, no we have not.

[rich cosmos]

sadge

will you tho..

[bronze grove]

We currently have no plans to change the 60HE.

[fathom fiber]

I already have the PC plate and an alumaze case and the white keycaps

I’ve never tried screw-in stabs so I don’t know of they’re worth the hassle of selling and buying the module+switches

[polar girder]

Same

Curious

Plus screw in means no gummy mount

And now I’m so conflicted

[fathom fiber]

I've also never tried that so I don't really care for it

and I already love the feel and the sound profile of this setup I have now

it's so good

[harsh dove]

https://www.gmkkeycaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/19123-k7wvxe.jpg.webp

[prisma turret]

Wait. So can we do plateless with new module?

[bronze grove]

Plate what now

[prisma turret]

Since it supports screw in stabs

[bronze grove]

The switches are still mounted on the aptly named switch plate

[wraith notch]

From what I’ve read/watched, the plate mounted stabilizers on the 60he are already very good. The screw in stabilizers shouldn’t make much of a difference.

[bronze grove]

Matter of personal preference. We've had people demand screw ins since we launched the 60HE with plate mount

[loud zephyr]

bro why'd you destroy your keycaps?

[polar girder]

That’s stock, bruh

[loud zephyr]

[polar girder]

Yeah some cool new age artsy stuff for the squad

[harsh dove]

lol it’s the GMK Graffiti set

[loud zephyr]

yah I wouldn't mind something different like this, normie keycaps get boring pretty fast

[harsh dove]

Was also looking at these two

Also GMK sets

[loud zephyr]

welp, if you're gonna buy keycaps there's a lot of sales at the moment

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s why I’m looking around lol

Just ordered the module and a salvation

[loud zephyr]

wait, you bought a keyboard without keycaps, switches and a case?

crazy

[harsh dove]

I bought switches, L45s

I already have an alumaze

Don’t want another

And the salvation was $140 off

[loud zephyr]

that is a generous price off, nice one

[harsh dove]

Yeah

So only thing I need is keycaps

[loud zephyr]

i'd cop these but my Cyrillic is nonexistent, probably just wait for Nuke Data

[dense flower]

Any recommendations for budget cases for the 60he?

Doesn’t have to be aluminum

[stray otter]

Define 'budget'

[dense flower]

Best bang for buck

[harsh dove]

Tofu redux

lol

[stray otter]

On sale

$55

[dense flower]

I just don’t like the aesthetic of the stock 60he case. The way the bottom lip is slanted

[loud zephyr]

what's wrong with the stock case? it's better than the cheaper alternatives IMO

[harsh dove]

I think the stock case is good personally

But everyone is different

Like I said tho, for budget, I’d go tofu redux

Kinda comes out to same price as alumaze after shipping and brass plate tho

[dense flower]

I just don’t like the front of the case. The part that has the wooting logo

[harsh dove]

Right yeah I hear you

[dense flower]

Was thinking about cutting it off lol

[harsh dove]

Oof

Don’t do that

Just get another case

[loud zephyr]

try the list of cases

https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f

[harsh dove]

KDBFans has some good stuff too

[dense flower]

I’ll take a look

Tofu redux does seem to be the best bang for buck option

[harsh dove]

Yeah just make sure you compare to total price after shipping to the Alumaze if you maybe prefer an Alumaze

[dense flower]

Alumaze is nice but a little too expensive for me

[harsh dove]

Should be able to get a discount if you already own wooting

Iirc

[dense flower]

Interesting

[harsh dove]

Yeah just make sure you use the same email

[loud zephyr]

htf is the Redux acrylic the same price as Alu whaa

[harsh dove]

If you watched BST recent video on the module, they sound the same lol

The acrylic vs the redux

Acrylic has a slightly sharper sound as he described it

[dense flower]

I watched it. It did sound similar

[loud zephyr]

yeah but still should be cheaper given the material

[harsh dove]

Right yeah I hear you

[dense flower]

Are wooden cases more quiet?

[harsh dove]

Not sure

[loud zephyr]

what about a wooden case, I've seen those around for the cheap

[harsh dove]

I want a try one tbh

[loud zephyr]

oh beat me to it lol

[harsh dove]

Found this nice one on Amazon

[dense flower]

I really like your Ninja Thock build

Love the muted sound

[harsh dove]

GH60 Walnut Wooden Case Wrist Rest 2 in 1 for 60% Mini Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Compatible Pok3r DZ60 YD60MQ XD64 https://a.co/d/geOe7eu

[harsh dove]

Thank you

[haughty olive]

is there a way to add underglow to the 60he for a tofu60 acrylic?

[harsh dove]

Not that I know of

[haughty olive]

:/

[harsh dove]

Pretty sure it because of the wooting PCB

So don’t think so

[loud zephyr]

that's actually decent, wrist rest was a nice touch

[harsh dove]

Right yeah

And you can get one without the wrist rest

If you prefer

[loud zephyr]

I'd carve out my initials ❤️ SD. Just like in highschool

[harsh dove]

Hahaa

[dense flower]

That’s actually nice. I’ve been using a wooden wrist rest for my current kb

https://www.amazon.ca/Bamboo-Wood-case-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B07GCGX8Q1/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3RGP3NAR1SGBB&keywords=wooden+keyboard+case&qid=1700783701&sprefix=wooden+keybo%2Caps%2C151&sr=8-2

About $55 USD with free shipping

Are any of these options recommended to add with the tofu redux?

[quiet bay]

If you want your keyboard to feel heavier and premium get brass weight

The switches are a waste of money

just stick with lekkers

[dense flower]

How about the plate?

[quiet bay]

That's personal opinion

[dense flower]

I remember badseedtech was suggesting adding something to the order. Forgot which one it was

Gotta rewatch the video

[loud zephyr]

I really don't see the need for the brass plate if you intend to use case foam. Without the foam I'd imagine there would be a little bit of hollowness.

[harsh dove]

He recommended the brass weight

[dense flower]

That’s what it was. Ty

[harsh dove]

Np

[dense flower]

I wonder if anyone has tried this case. Half the price of the tofu redux here in Canada. https://www.amazon.ca/Anodizing-Aluminum-Mechanical-Keyboard-Compatible/dp/B098N4HTDL?th=1

[harsh dove]

KeebMat has some sales on their site for black Friday if anyone needs anything

[karmic crescent]

Does anyone know the size or the exact mounting holes used here? Or the best way to find out? For reference this is the back side of the wooting 60he plate

[void hollow]

Tape mod really helped to make my keyboard sounds more thocc. but it still sounds really hollow on some of the keys, especially those with stabs

for the case foam, i've used the contac zip foam, together with the redux foam since the stock foam doesn't seem to fit inside

the fact that the stock + tape mod that i've worked on for my friend sounds thockier than mine makes me annoyed xD

at the same time might be keycap issue @-@

[cinder merlin]

I honestly doesn’t matter a lot unless ur really picky. I run TX AP stabs and I don’t feel any rattle on mine

Just pick what u want lol

[void hollow]

which would sound better? burger mount or an extra layer of foam

[cinder merlin]

Try it out and see what u like is the best idea

[dense flower]

What case is that?

[void hollow]

Tofu 60 Redux

[dense flower]

Black Friday sales on the tofu redux is temping me

[void hollow]

you're using the wooting kb rn?

[dense flower]

I told myself I wouldn’t spend any more on the kb lol

[void hollow]

is it a tight fit for the stock cable?

[dense flower]

Just ordered the 60he a few days ago

[harsh dove]

Guess it's a good thing I bought mine when I did earlier today

Sold Out

[quiet bay]

What about the solderable one?

[harsh dove]

Still in stock I think

Oh but it says limited now

[quiet bay]

damn

[harsh dove]

I don't remember it saying that earlier

[quiet bay]

Well lucky u xd

Now u get a salvation and a pcb

[harsh dove]

Some other colors are still in

Red is sold out

[quiet bay]

One day I’ll get a white salvation 🙏

[harsh dove]

Yeah I was tempted to get that

[quiet bay]

The black accents are perfect for my setup

[harsh dove]

I was lookin at some keycaps earlier lmk what you think

[quiet bay]

lemme see

[quiet bay]

Im not a big fan of that font ngl

[harsh dove]

Left or right?

I assume left

Duh

[quiet bay]

Left

If it was normal print and minimal modifiers itd look better

[harsh dove]

Lemme find this other one I saw lol

[quiet bay]

And the right keycaps’ letters will only shine through with rgb

and probably the only color that would look good with it

Is like white

rgb

Or blue?

[harsh dove]

these

[harsh dove]

I would do white tbh

[quiet bay]

Not a fan of oem 😩

[harsh dove]

I wouldn't actually get those

[quiet bay]

I’d rather just get a normal set of white cherry profile keycaps than that xd

[harsh dove]

lol yeah

[quiet bay]

or something better looking

[quiet bay]

Overall best keycap set u were looking at is the keycaps that are like a gradient

[harsh dove]

yeah i agree

scuffed image

but I really like these

[lunar sand]

@harsh dove did you get the module ?! Are we alike where we will have 2 wooting on the desk !? 🤣

[harsh dove]

Yes

lmao

[lunar sand]

Damn

🤣

[harsh dove]

These are kinda nice

[lunar sand]

I will do like my wife does. She says that a dress cost 50 when I know it was 150. I will take the same approach

🤣

[lunar sand]

Cool keycaps

[fringe torrent]

perfect timing

[quiet bay]

Ooh yeah those are nice

[harsh dove]

Yeah I wanted those when I was first buying a set for the Wooting

but I also wanted the Sumi's

[fringe torrent]

i want the accent pieces for it but the cost of importing them are

[quiet bay]

Isnt that like 40

[harsh dove]

Yea

It's alu

[quiet bay]

Oh boy

For financial responsibility reasons i would not buy that

[harsh dove]

I'm not buying it lol

[umbral solstice]

@bronze grove I had a few questions about the mod you did with the Cyberspace kit

[harsh dove]

Its hard deciding on keycaps lol

[harsh dove]

Yeah I'd have to buy the accents with that set

Coffee Set lol

[quiet bay]

I like the coziness of this set

Novelties r cool 👍

[harsh dove]

Yeah def

I'm tryna decide between a black gradient blank set or those GMK Dualshot R2s

[quiet bay]

GMK Dualshot if ur not going to use rgb

looks cleaner that way

[harsh dove]

damn Omnitype has them on sale $140 down to $83

Basically the price of just the base kit alone with the sales

[gaunt linden]

Does abs and pbt sound different?

[harsh dove]

yeah slightly

[untold wigeon]

Last row of this fucking mod

[quiet bay]

You can do it

[untold wigeon]

this shit takes so fucking long LMAO

[quiet bay]

And if u ever feel resistance from pressing the keys from the switch tape mod, get ur tweezers, push the stem down, and lube the tape just so that u dont have to take it out again

[untold wigeon]

Okay bet. It has some break in time tho right?

[quiet bay]

The lube pretty much works right away and makes it smooth

atleast that’s what happened with mine

Power of lubricating ❤️

[untold wigeon]

Okay will do thanks!

[loud zephyr]

the only keycaps I want for sale isn't for sale. the dream is over

[harsh dove]

Which ones are those

[loud zephyr]

DCS Reaper by Signature Plastics

gawwd that layout is the bees knees

[fluid ravine]

the way the keycaps space out reminds me of stock wooting

interesting

[harsh dove]

lol

I didn't buy the keycaps, just the case

[harsh dove]

I don't wanna copy Narisa but I think I'm going to have to get these Dualshot R2s lol

[untold wigeon]

Goddddamn

The sound difference is insane

Such a drastic change in sound

[harsh dove]

Lol Switch Tape Mod

[untold wigeon]

I’m so glad it’s done

[harsh dove]

Takes forever

[untold wigeon]

Way longer than lubing that forsure

[fluid ravine]

saying the image

[fluid ravine]

GOOD FKING JOB

👏

so proud

now send the sound test

i wanna hear it

[harsh dove]

I just tuned my stabs cause they were bothering me

[fluid ravine]

how are they now

[untold wigeon]

I’ll do a quick sound test

[fluid ravine]

w

[harsh dove]

I think they're way better now

just sounded uneven

[fluid ravine]

still disapointed in my sound profile but really something wrong with me

[harsh dove]

like one side sounded deeper than the other

[fluid ravine]

tray mount?

or burger mount?

[harsh dove]

gummy

[fluid ravine]

oh shi i forgot

hmmm

weird

[harsh dove]

it was only on my spacebar and backspace stabs

others were fine

[fluid ravine]

prob switch the housings and stabs

like mix match

i did that to some of mine

now they sound normal

even

which was weird

[harsh dove]

I did that and then fully relubed , also lubed the switches again for those two

[untold wigeon]

I don’t like how my space bar sounds

But rn I could care less.. I’m too tired from the switch tape mod 😂

[fluid ravine]

👏

[sage flicker]

anyone here want to build me a keyboard? With the proper fees ofc, lol.

[crimson sky]

I think I'll go with this

[elder swallow]

hey guys, i was wondering what spring size would fit for the lekker switches?

planning on getting a stronger one

[elder swallow]

i like it 🥲🥲

[loud zephyr]

Only the ones that's offered by Wooting or Gateron's KS-20. No third party springs exist, at least not yet

[crimson sky]

[loud zephyr]

[crimson sky]

module has only been released for preorder yesterday and I am already like 450€ in

most of it is frorg

[loud zephyr]

paying top dollar and no keyboard yet

unlucky bro

[crimson sky]

well technically I will have some form of it in a few days

[knotty breach]

good stuff, hope you scored a few good black friday sales. I can't find anything

[loud zephyr]

[lunar sand]

Holee mod the stabs

[untold wigeon]

I’m trying to find some keycaps too for Black Friday, need some for a silver case

[unborn cargo]

can you still buy a tofu 60? without having to wait in queue for it?

[bronze grove]

The redux? Depends on stock I suppose

[unborn cargo]

oh i see. and what is the Brass weight bar do?

[sand oasis]

brass wieght just increases the weight

[unborn cargo]

and this

[sand oasis]

sound is maybe a tiny tiny bit better

plate affects sound and typing feel and both personal prefernece

do you have the pc plate for the wooting

[unborn cargo]

no i dont

i just ordered the 60He and the lube kit

[sand oasis]

fr4 is nice

but i like pom or pc

[unborn cargo]

but whats better the carbon fiber or fr4

[austere creek]

60he or the module

[unborn cargo]

the normal 60he

[sand oasis]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qNqU2yggmk&t=354s

this is a sound test

you pick what you like the most

[unborn cargo]

oh ty

[austere creek]

also keep in mind that the plates from kbdfans have flexcuts and its best to install switches before installing the plate

[sand oasis]

your keyboard wont sound the same

but you can understand the sound differenc e

[unborn cargo]

umm ill have to see whenever i get my keyboard and get this case

ok ill check it now ty

[crimson sky]

that test is done with foam so it is almost entirely useless

• it is somewhat hyperspecific to that board and switches anyways

[sand oasis]

yeh

could at least give him a base understading of the sound differences

[unborn cargo]

when lubing the stabilizers do you damp the wire inside the lube or apply it like you do to the switches?

[bronze grove]

You paint it on with a brush. We have a whole video on lubing.

[unborn cargo]

oh ok, cause i seen some people damb the wire inside and have alott of lube on it

[bronze grove]

Some people do that. Or throw them in a bag and shake.

[crimson sky]

people bag lube stabs?

[unborn cargo]

is it bad

so its not supposed to look like that

[crimson sky]

seems fine

[austere creek]

ye

[crimson sky]

maybe a tiny bit too much

but not super excessive

[unborn cargo]

oh so put alot on the stabs?

[crimson sky]

on the wire you kinda need a lot

[unborn cargo]

oh alr

[glossy thistle]

Wooting modded, l45 lekker(hand lubed), thinsulate foam for case, tofuredux w brass weight, burger mod, tape mod, spacer foam, sounnd profile came thocky/creamy

[unborn cargo]

you got a video of the sound?

[glossy thistle]

arctis pro wireless headset mic kinda bad for sound test waiting for the xlr

[unborn cargo]

maybe from a phone?

[glossy thistle]

give it a moment

[unborn cargo]

sounds really nice. ty!

[harsh dove]

Ever since doing the switch tape mod, I can’t not here the sound of the top housing being smacked

[zenith flame]

Where can i buy the tofu redux in black cuz its not on kbdfans

Nah its sold out

Wait. Let me check

Bro. It’s available

Thanks

Like really thank u

[harsh dove]

Same

[crimson sky]

what did you get lol

went with a frog

[harsh dove]

Module with L45s, Wilba.Tech Salvation, and GMK Dualshot R2s

Would’ve been an $800 board if not for sales lol

[fringe torrent]

going to look sick

[harsh dove]

Not if I don’t have you come take photos for me

lol

[fringe torrent]

but thats only for the photo

[harsh dove]

Hahah

[harsh dove]

How much was it for you to get the accents you said?

Cost of imports right

[fringe torrent]

prob around $100 give or take

[harsh dove]

Damn

[fringe torrent]

its not far off the cost of the full set

since i got it on special

[harsh dove]

Right yeah, I just got mine on sale

Yeah I just checked your shipping

$58

$186 for express

lol

[fringe torrent]

what shop is that from ?

[harsh dove]

Omnitype

Meanwhile my shipping is $5

[fringe torrent]

ya i havent even bothered looking at them since a lot of US stores are over the top when it comes to shipping

[harsh dove]

Yeah it’s ridiculous

[fringe torrent]

still not as bad as 4114 when it comes to shipping costs

[harsh dove]

The mousepads?

[fringe torrent]

ye and their cheapest shipping option was more then what i spent to fedex a bike frame from Sweden to Aus

[harsh dove]

Geezus

[harsh dove]

Wtfffff

[fringe torrent]

for a single mousepad

[harsh dove]

Lmao

Holy

I’d def choose the $557 option

Hands down

[fringe torrent]

at that price they better fly here and hand deliver it

[harsh dove]

No better way to let your mouse pad know you care about them

[quiet bay]

Oh my god.

[harsh dove]

And kiss your shoes

[quiet bay]

The shipping is worth more than my own deskmat

[fringe torrent]

its about what the superglide pad cost

[harsh dove]

Yeah

Otsu XL is about the same

Around $90

[gaunt linden]

What works the best, plumbers mod or holee mod?

[harsh dove]

Haven’t seen plumbers mod tbh

Think I’ve heard of it

[gaunt linden]

Why Does everyone snap their fingers lol

[gaunt linden]

They use plumbers tape? Idk whats that kinda tape named but they put that around the stab wires

[elder swallow]

keycap set?

[harsh dove]

GMK Dualshot R2

You can’t have them tho

[fringe torrent]

dualshot 2 what cam said

[harsh dove]

Plumbers tape is typically something like flex seal

Idk how I feel about using that for holee mod , but you’re saying you put it around the end of the wire?

[untold wigeon]

Have you guys seen those ceramic keycaps, there’s this beautiful set that’s doing group buy rn

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/world-s-first-blue-and-white-ceramic-keycap-set

I was thinking about getting them but like it’s gonna take forever to actually get made and shipped

[harsh dove]

Yeah Cerakeys

Only thing I’ve heard you have to worry about is the weight

[quiet bay]

Everything should be fine except the spacebar

[harsh dove]

Right yea

[untold wigeon]

I see, spacebar is too heavy?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

Doesn’t come back up unless you like barely set it on the switches iirc

[untold wigeon]

Makes sense now that I think about it

Oh shoot that kinda sucks

[crimson sky]

don't see how that would make it lighter

[harsh dove]

I’m just speaking from what I’ve seen other people say that owned cerakeys

I don’t own any

And don’t quote me on it either lol

I don’t remember exactly how “said person” got their spacebar to work

[zenith flame]

Best keycaps for a black case?

[fringe torrent]

most things will work with a black case

just gotta figure out what kind of look you want to go for

[zenith flame]

Yes but some fit better in a white case

[zenith flame]

I wanted to get some inspirations

[fringe torrent]

in most cases they will go well with either

[untold wigeon]

They are already

[lunar sand]

hmmm ... ok, so no much more you can do ... maybe tune the lube on the stabs? other than that ... yeah ... :x not much more you can do

[untold wigeon]

I might have to reholee mod the spacebar cause everything else sounds good lol

[untold wigeon]

Ima need someone to buy me 13 wooting pluses

[bronze grove]

Sorry. We don't sell pluses

[grizzled path]

hmm

[untold wigeon]

hmm

[edgy thicket]

polycarbonate sound tests are out and they still sound bad lol

[marble shuttle]

steel sounding better immo because of switches they are bad

[harsh dove]

I think I finally tuned my spacebar

[fluid ravine]

Well well well

Look who woke up at 1pm

[harsh dove]

You

[fluid ravine]

Yes

ME

[zenith flame]

Best grey keycaps?

[harsh dove]

[fluid ravine]

Alr ima do my hygiene and I will brb

[cyan adder]

stabs stem foam + wire foam + switch tape mod fixed mine

the wire foam really saved my life

[harsh dove]

Yeah I did all that

[cyan adder]

now its even, and full thock

[harsh dove]

But it was still bothering me

[cyan adder]

i think its my thockiest key

on the keyboard

[harsh dove]

So I also did holee mod

And now I think I’m happy

And the sound was also uneven so I fixed that too

[fathom fiber]

I have the PC plate, and I can tell you vids don't do it justice

it's so much better

[gaunt linden]

Stab stem foam isn’t it kinda like holee?

[quiet bay]

That's cause the lekker switches naturally sound bad unless you mod them

[fathom fiber]

I have this exact setup it looks so damn clean

[grizzled path]

yeah same here, though I just tried the white keycaps on this thing, but quickly switched back to my obsidian keys. the legends are fucked on C and Å for me, and the GH gap is more pronounced on the just whites

[edgy thicket]

yaa but it's really hard to get it to custom level

if not impossible

[crisp jasper]

Any confirmation if the module PCB uses 1.6mm stabs I'd assume so but couldn't find anything for certain

[quiet bay]

it's not impossible

I have one that sounds quite good if I say so myself

[edgy thicket]

best wooting keyboard will sound worse than the best custom keyboard

even if you use the same parts

the switch is just flawed

[quiet bay]

Well duh it would sound worse than the best custom keyboard

custom keyboards are legit made for sound and feel

[edgy thicket]

right

[edgy thicket]

send sound test

[loud zephyr]

they sound fine to me with a little bit of tlc, there's certainly room for switch tolerance and whatever improvement possible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTeWAOnKLs4&t=2s

[edgy thicket]

definitely the best i've heard

i can still hear the stem wiggle though

[quiet bay]

Have my iphone x video quality sound test lol

[edgy thicket]

but damn that's a good wooting

[edgy thicket]

i eat my words

what did u do to make it sound like that

[quiet bay]

Switch tape mod, the best way to make the lekker switches better

except it takes very long

[edgy thicket]

oh

did you tape the inside of the housing?

[quiet bay]

#1173784544529363034 message

[quiet bay]

Yeah, taped the top housing sliders with medical tape

[edgy thicket]

damn

that's sick

really might consider doing that

sounds endgame

[edgy thicket]

how much is the smoothness impacted

[quiet bay]

Not really impacted, still buttery smooth

[stray otter]

What kind of tape? I used blue painters tape.

[quiet bay]

if you ever feel resistance pressing down, you can lube the tape

[quiet bay]

Nexcare gentle paper tape

[stray otter]

Right on

[quiet bay]

Painters tape and masking tape aren't really recommended since it's pretty scratchy

[stray otter]

Not to me but it's personal taste I suppose

[crimson sky]

only thing I don't like about wooting sound wise is that everyone stuffs it full of foam

[edgy thicket]

ordering some medical tape rn

[quiet bay]

It can be clacky but not many people prefer that and go with thock or creamy instead 😂

[marble shuttle]

should we put the medical tape as usual like painters tape under the pcb

[cinder merlin]

its fine, works perfectly if u sit it slightly on the space

[cinder merlin]

me and a few others

[polar girder]

Yall talking about two diff mods

[quiet bay]

preference

[polar girder]

No?

[quiet bay]

oh I thought he meant if he could put medical tape on the pcb lol

but switch tape mod and tempest tape mod are two completely different things :v

[untold wigeon]

Lubed some of the switch tape mod and it def makes it a lot better

[quiet bay]

Lube.

[untold wigeon]

Idk what happened with my space bar tho, this is how it sounded before I did switch tape mod. I prefer this

How it sounds now

tf happened

[quiet bay]

What if lube it 🤔

Or put something in the spacebar

like tape or something that dampens it

[untold wigeon]

I might redo the holee mod later

Just on the space bar tho

[quiet bay]

Keycaps for my friend's keyboard is coming today c:

[stray otter]

What type?

[quiet bay]

GMK Sumi clones

from aliexpress'

[untold wigeon]

You building him one?

[quiet bay]

Yeah he wanted a clicky keyboard

he's paying for the keyboard

but no fee for my service 😔

[untold wigeon]

Clicky

[quiet bay]

I got good clicky switches at least 🤣

Box Jades

[stray otter]

Nice.

I was thinking about getting some GMK Terror Below clones

[untold wigeon]

I don’t think I can ever go back to a normal keyboard after using the wooting for gaming lol

I hope they come out with a TKL

[fluid ravine]

I honestly think TKL will be in the long run

[stray otter]

I don't even need a full TLK. I'd take a compact 70%

[untold wigeon]

I just need the F keys

[fluid ravine]

well im just saying anything as big as tkl or 75 or whatever would be in the long run

so just pray

or smth

[stray otter]

I set mine as taps for numbers, press for function

Works for me

[untold wigeon]

I was thinking about doing that as well but never actually got around to doing it

[stray otter]

Want my config?

[untold wigeon]

Mod tap is a dope feature tho. I should really use it more

[untold wigeon]

Sure lemme see

[stray otter]

I also have Alt/Wind/Ctrl/? as my arrows

[untold wigeon]

Ooohh mines similar, except I use Rshift & fn

[stray otter]

2f637f4fe1b0e9279b5122e6a0f911e80e97

FYI have it set up for FPS so the sensitivity might be more than you want

But that's an easier fix than manually mapping the whole row

[fluid ravine]

Sander playing Overwatch 2

[untold wigeon]

dw for gaming i have mine set to 0.15 as well

prospa issue

[loud zephyr]

black Friday sales have been crummy

save money don't die

[fluid ravine]

yeah

i asked my dad why we not go shopping for black friday

he said the same thing

comparing to last year or whatever sales been dookie

[harsh dove]

Maybe because the foam has higher density

[fluid ravine]

Best buy selling White GPX for 99.99 and calling it a black friday sale while it was like that for the whole month and a half

;-;

[harsh dove]

The keycaps and case I got had good sales imo

[fluid ravine]

where

[fluid ravine]

ig so

but no bouncy fun :<

not kewl

[stable kindle]

^ different densities reflect and absorb different wavelengths. for my utility closet i got too paranoid about hearing my new tankless unit i was installing i put 1/2 of ply then 5/8" of sheet rock with an air gap inbetween. then between the studs is rockwool

[loud zephyr]

Naah, I need some juicy 90% discounts

[harsh dove]

I got salvation with $140 off and I got a full GMK set with a matching mouse mat for $140 , would’ve been $265~ otherwise and the salvation was $220 normally $350+

@fluid ravine

[stable kindle]

@fluid ravine@harsh dovehave you guys heard about anyone using spray foam? specifically loctites, it has a higher density than other brands

[fluid ravine]

spray foam?

never heard of that :^

[harsh dove]

Didn’t Wooting do a video on something like that recently

The silicone mold or whatever

[fluid ravine]

oh wait...

i just searched up spray foam

[loud zephyr]

they did one using spacebar to spread peanut butter. sounded goood

[fluid ravine]

i dont thats a good idea 💀

😂

[harsh dove]

Wasn’t recently lol but here

https://youtu.be/n6k2mpfPSxs?si=J6Sv2AaIo-s0H8yT

if there was a guy i knew it would be you LOL

any conclusions?

[fluid ravine]

this shit dawg 💀

[harsh dove]

Yeah I know what he means

[fluid ravine]

replace guy with boy

:)

[harsh dove]

I was just saying wooting did something kind of similar

[normal schooner]

its a good idea.

[fluid ravine]

a boy disguised as a guy

[fluid ravine]

hmm

ok then..

[normal schooner]

im jk dont

[fluid ravine]

who wants to try it

[stable kindle]

@fluid ravine that one wouldmake sense since it expands a little less. greatstuff in generally is much less dense than loctites

window and regular has different densities as well

[fluid ravine]

ok where is this idea coming from

its concerning me

💀

[harsh dove]

I think the main thing is getting it to be even and not stick to the PCB

[stable kindle]

so imma guess brand and application type of the spray foam will have a difference in the sound

as long as there is no oil

spray foam will literally stick to anything

[harsh dove]

Exactly

[stable kindle]

everytime i get it on my hands it takes a few days for it to come off

[harsh dove]

It’s a sealant lol

[loud zephyr]

stop treating your keyboard like a thanks giving turkey

[harsh dove]

turkey is also good though

[static tendon]

Checking back in again, any module release updates? Saw Badseedtech make a video but no release dates mentioned yet

[fluid ravine]

IT ALREADY RELEASED 💀

[stable kindle]

so the denser the material the absorption efficiency to low frequency sound becomes better and the absorption efficiency to high frequency sound decreases. so im guessing you dont want the a really dense foam

[harsh dove]

It’s released

[fluid ravine]

GO BUY IT

[harsh dove]

Go pre order

Big discounts on other products when you buy

No way. I checked yesterday too 😂 I must’ve missed it

i guess i should say Day#2

not 1

[static tendon]

Thank you! Gotta get it here soon

[loud zephyr]

just take out the PCB out of the Wooting, no more delays booom

[harsh dove]

Hasn’t even been out for 3 days lol

[fluid ravine]

i want the pcb itself now :/

whoever i was in a debate or argument with
idfk what you were saying, you're making me rethink about talking about getting the pcb itself

[loud zephyr]

nahhh get a new desk instead

[stable kindle]

WHAT?

[harsh dove]

^

[static tendon]

Just to confirm, is this the module I’ve been waiting for? https://wooting.io/wooting-60he-module/about it mentions 60HE+module so is that only the plate and PCB?
