[harsh dove]

Yeah one just does it better than the other

[stray otter]

Ah

[harsh dove]

Gummy o ring is more floating inside the case whereas burger mount, you’re still screwed into the standoffs

[wary pollen]

but Burger mount uses small silicone o rings between the PCB and case, while this gasket mount has the isolation at the plate

[harsh dove]

Right

[wary pollen]

true gummy o ring uses cutouts on the PCB so it contacts the corresponding mounting posts in the case

like what I did on my Blade 60

[stray otter]

I dunno. I might just wait for the O rings since I like the idea of not screwing the damn thing in period.

[wary pollen]

see those grooves aroudn the perimete of the PCB?

[stray otter]

Yeah.

[wary pollen]

that's where the mounting posts in the case (the wooden posts) slot in and contacts the o ring

so the Wooting can't be a true Gummy O ring without any cutouts

I've considered the dremel

but too many traces around the edge

[stray otter]

Hmm.

[wary pollen]

but I found a workaround

[stray otter]

Yeah I don't want to mod the PCB.

[wary pollen]

which is only applicable on the Blade 60 lol

This is the case tirade gifted me.
The one you sent is the low profile gh60

[floral barn]

Thanks

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s why they just call it friction mounting with the wooting

[floral barn]

Your gummy o ring friction mount in that gh60 case seems to have a nice flex. Do you think that would be the same with a Tofu Redux case?

[harsh dove]

Flex really comes down to the plate and mounting style

[stable kindle]

so you can screw it down to the case?

cant*

[wary pollen]

you can, but it's better not to

minimizes the hard mounting effect on the sound and feel

that thunky sound tray mount has near the screws

[stable kindle]

so if you swap out the couple stabs to a non screw in doesnt that defeat the purpose of wanting the screwed ins? is the gummy o ring that much superior to a burger? or am i thinking about this all wrong

[fallow belfry]

I destroy my wooting i buy l45

And i do it wrong

[harsh dove]

Like Nix said, you can but not recommended

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/im-sorry-what-calvin-payne-house-of-payne-what-did-you-say-can-you-repeat-that-gif-24039762

[fallow belfry]

What i need to do

[floral barn]

To be more precise: With the same plate and the same gummy o ring friction mount would the Tofu Redux behave similar to that Gh60 case?

[harsh dove]

I honestly have no idea. As you haven’t described what is wrong. @fallow belfry

[crimson sky]

WTF is that

💀

[harsh dove]

Essentially, yes

[fallow belfry]

I install the l45 without switch puller

[harsh dove]

Looks like a brass plate with a silicone adhesive over the top , as far as the PCB idk, definitely custom dremel cut outs for the gummy ring and some micropore medical tape across the flex points

[fallow belfry]

What can i do with the pcb

[crimson sky]

I mean yea I can see

[harsh dove]

lol

[crimson sky]

but it is incredibly cursed

[harsh dove]

I’d hope so

Idk about cursed

[crimson sky]

just buy a ciel 💀

[harsh dove]

Lmao

No

[wary pollen]

PCB is a Keebcats Denis60, and it has those same cutouts manufacture into it

[harsh dove]

Yanno I kind thought that at first

[cyan adder]

My last sound test

[crimson sky]

yea the PCB is fine

[harsh dove]

But then I thought maybe you’re just good at dremeling

[crimson sky]

the case is the concerning part

[wary pollen]

It's just a sheet of brass cut to size to fit the bottom of the Blade60

[harsh dove]

Yeah thought so

[dreamy drum]

that sounds really good, and i can't really tell but it seems like you're beating the shit out of those keys for the sake of the audio of the video -- maybe i'm wrong but if thats the case casual typing must sound fucking heavenly

[wary pollen]

Killed case ping with that amount alone. Less to do w/ the weight and more the surface area

[crimson sky]

bruh

just don't use a CF plate

[wary pollen]

Bruh tf you mean? CF doesn't add to any ping 💀

[harsh dove]

I was gonna say..

[cyan adder]

YES ! im also a bit disappointed since i cant get a realistic sounding representation with any microphone, it sounds very muted + less thocky on the record compared to IRL

[crimson sky]

it doesn't help with resonance

also still

[harsh dove]

CF plate is just stiff but no ping

[crimson sky]

why go through all that effort

when there is a much simpler solution

aka

don't use a blade60

[dreamy drum]

Yeah something near the sound you have here is what im trying to go for, maybe described as a creamy, maybe even slightly muted sound profile

[wary pollen]

Just felt like doing it. Don't really care about convenience w/ that project
Edit: Also really into the desing of the Blade 60 sooooo

[dreamy drum]

which i feel like is what stock wooting kind of achieves is a nice balance between creamy & thock

[cyan adder]

gummy o ring/switches tape mod/hand lubing/polyfill are the mods that actually made the biggest change in my setup

its actually going too much creamy for me, i would like a less creamy and more thocky profile but seems like i cant achieve it

still satysfying to type on btw

[dreamy drum]

i feel like the polyfill might be whats holding you back

[cyan adder]

just even alt tabbing to swap windows is satisfying

[dreamy drum]

xD

[dreamy drum]

i also say this with 0 keyboard modding experience

[cyan adder]

actually u dont need to buy polyfill, 1 layer of stock case foam is good with tofu redux

I had 0 too 2 months ago ahah

u learn little by little

[dreamy drum]

conveniently enough i bought an ex girlfriend a giant teddy bear and 2 extra polyfill bags to get it extra stuffed, left over with one bag finally time to do something with it besides have it be a back-board for shooting airsoft bb's in my room

[cyan adder]

and alot of ppl here learn you alot of things like little tenz, pochizo and tirade were my best friends out there to mod my wooting, cam is also a good helper here since he has tested alot of things

[cyan adder]

actually you need only a very little amount ahah

[dreamy drum]

oh yeah i've stalked a lot of their boards on the posts they made simply just when choosing a keycap set and other things to consider when starting modding

[dreamy drum]

i have an overtly excessive amount of polyfill i could probably help like 20 people in this server do the mod on their keyboard probably even more with the qty i have left over lmfao

[harsh dove]

I try lol, I’m very open minded I’d like to think

[dreamy drum]

i shall stuff my board to all living hell and it will be the most mute sound on planet earth

[harsh dove]

lol I can help if you want muted sounds

[dreamy drum]

my board will become so muted it will passively emit white noise

[dreamy drum]

nah i'm not exactly sure what im looking for tbqh, but i think from how i've heard people describe sounds that this might be what i'm looking for?

[harsh dove]

I coined my build “Ninja Thock” before cause it was like a muted thocc to me but it’s also kinda creamy

[dreamy drum]

is this the ninja thock?

[harsh dove]

Yes but the sound has changed slightly as that was when I first did my switch tape mod and it’s not fully broken in yet

[dreamy drum]

Yeah that sounds really good, maybe just a little too much on the thock side, but it definitely is closer to what i'm looking for compared to the stock wooting

[harsh dove]

Appreciate the feedback and yeah definitely experiment with different mods to get the sound you want

Do one mod at a time tho

That would be my best advice really

[stray otter]

Got the O rings direct from Graveshift

[static tendon]

I know it’s a fairly new release but has anyone tried to swap out the rubber feet to slimmer feet on the alumaze60 to bring it down even lower?

[bronze grove]

Just stop using any

[static tendon]

For reference the rubber feet here since they do sit a bit tall even with their stock feet height

[harsh dove]

I’m sad about my alumaze60 slim feet

They’re off balance

So my keyboard wobbles with the slim feet

So I have to use the big ones

Yeah it’s not a huge deal breaker but was kinda sad about it

[fluid ravine]

Its bounce

[stray tiger]

@fluid ravine dont forget I'm always watching

[fluid ravine]

HEY

:(

[fluid ravine]

Im getting bounce/gasket performance from the case foam

the friction mount is just keeping it in the case

while doing its other little funzy effect

[harsh dove]

There’s a mom joke in here somewhere

[harsh dove]

Lmaooo

Love it

[stray tiger]

It's like a horoscope lol. It's a complete guess but it applies to like 90% of the people who read it so they think it's true haha

[fluid ravine]

hey mann i didnt give consent (jk idgaf)

[stray tiger]

Maybe it was the camera I hid inside the case I sent you 🤔

[harsh dove]

Ooo

Bros got the neurolink camera

Embedded in your skull

Pls veho deliver my wooting uwu today 😔

[glacial wind]

For those waiting for raptor us stock:

[stray otter]

I'm definitely interested in trying as long as I'm not paying more for the shipping than the switches.

[quiet bay]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH2R_bpSKCg interesting

[fluid ravine]

ooo thaats nice

[sage flicker]

Anyone interested in my Lekker for discount? Trying to phase out, going for a custom keyboard soon, but inbetween going to get a thinner keyboard, 70-80% version.

[harsh dove]

Love you

[stable kindle]

the fk is raptor

and why are you nerds so excited for it

[harsh dove]

https://geon.works/products/raptor-he-gaming-switch

[stable kindle]

but why the hype?

looked like the price went up

looks*

[harsh dove]

Just a new HE switch

Something new to try

That’s compatible with the Wooting

[stable kindle]

whats the claimed difference compared to the lekkers

[fluid ravine]

And different top housing material!!

nylon :D

reduced stem wobble

[harsh dove]

Claimed differed is less housing and stem wobble

And slightly better sound

And yeah diff materials

[stable kindle]

stem wobble a thing i should be annoyed about on the lekkers?

[fluid ravine]

so no need to do switch taape mod

[fluid ravine]

yep

[stable kindle]

they have more than cherrys mx?

[fluid ravine]

some people notice it

i dont

[harsh dove]

I personally didn’t notice it that much, I felt like it was fine but I like them a lot more after doing switch tape mod

[stable kindle]

ok i guess i will do that too then

[fluid ravine]

i dont even care about housing wobble

its just the sound for me

[stable kindle]

then why

o

makes them more thocc? creamy?

[harsh dove]

Reduces chatter

(Switch tape mod)

Mutes the sound of the stem hitting the top housing

[fluid ravine]

ever since i or anybody received their wootings
first goal is to make it thocky

[stable kindle]

i dislike talking to you guys sometimes

[fluid ravine]

but the real goal was to make it sound solid as possible then go from there

[stable kindle]

makes me notice things about my keyboard that i havent noticed before

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[thick brook]

real

[fluid ravine]

pssst

[stable kindle]

makes waiting for the module feel even longer

[harsh dove]

Yeah you should ignore us

Tbh

[stable kindle]

but i need the info

[harsh dove]

Lmao

[stable kindle]

for the mods

[harsh dove]

No you don’t

The less you know

[fluid ravine]

if you have tray mount should notice that the spacebar or the board is uneven

[harsh dove]

The better

[stable kindle]

yes i do

[fluid ravine]

true

[quiet bay]

🙏 😔

[stable kindle]

so thats the gummy o ring? or what

[fluid ravine]

"tray mount"

lol

[stable kindle]

so tray mount is different to the gummy o ring>?

[fluid ravine]

;-; duh

[stable kindle]

OK THEN

lol

ok answer this question for me

[fluid ravine]

tray mount is screwing the pcb to the case

[sage flicker]

think main benefit of the RAPTOR is total travel is 3mm vs 4mm on lekker.

[stable kindle]

ahh i see

[fluid ravine]

nah

remember the HE is adjustable

[stable kindle]

but why would that make a difference to gameplay

[fluid ravine]

exactly

its the decimals that matter

[sage flicker]

what. are u guys noobs. total travel reduction is huge for gaming

[stable kindle]

for a regular switch i can see

[fluid ravine]

"total"

thats not the point of HE

well

[sage flicker]

i know that's not the point of HE. but raptor takes it to next level

3mm vs 4mm is great

[fluid ravine]

3mm is better????

while the software is adjustable

[sage flicker]

faster bottom out = faster typing and faster smashing

[stable kindle]

but for a HE switch with rapidfire enabled it shouldnt matter

[fluid ravine]

dude wtf are you on

[stable kindle]

not with rapid fire it doesnt matter

[sage flicker]

lol...

[fluid ravine]

"bottom out"

thats a physical thing

something you feel

and hear

if that makes sense

[stable kindle]

@sage flickerinstead of loling tell us why it makes a difference to gaming performance

im genuinely curious

[fluid ravine]

Like dude
you're defeating the purpose of adjustable actuation points

[sage flicker]

because in gaming you usually bottom out when hitting keys. If you bottom out faster, you can press quicker etc. Also obvious for typing.

if you don't bottom out at all, then fine.

[stable kindle]

?

[fluid ravine]

ok this guy is on some drugs

sorry but not sorry

[sage flicker]

I must be in the twilight zone.

[stable kindle]

lets say that on the raptor you set your actuation at 2.5mm ok

[fluid ravine]

yeah go to sleep

let it out of your system

[stable kindle]

and lets also say that you set your actuation for the lekkers at 2.5mm

both have rapid fire enabled

[sage flicker]

Now. Most people bottom out keys right?

follow the logic

[stable kindle]

ok lets bottom it out

[fluid ravine]

dude
we had a argument about this in general a few months ago

[sage flicker]

relax Tenz. You don't have to agree. If 3mm is worthless to you, then fine.

[fluid ravine]

and whoever that person was did not make a single damn point

[sage flicker]

but they changed total travel for a reason.

[fluid ravine]

you're being that person

[stable kindle]

as soon as you let go it resets the trigger for you to press again

[fluid ravine]

im just saying

dont make another one here

[sage flicker]

saying what? I said 3mm was best part of Raptor. You don't have to agree.

there is no argument. grow up.

[stable kindle]

?

[fluid ravine]

?

[stable kindle]

im grown

[fluid ravine]

?? what 😂

[sage flicker]

Was talking to Mr Tenz over here. But I know I shouldn't at this point.

[fluid ravine]

lmao

[sage flicker]

blocking this guy.

[stable kindle]

ok then

[fluid ravine]

lmaooooo

[stable kindle]

kk so i have this question

[prisma beacon]

Im apart of the pancake batch so i havent recived my keyboard yet but I am curious if I NEED to mod or will stock keys and membrane be good or will I need to upgrade for the best experience

[fluid ravine]

[stable kindle]

people want screw in stabs right over what the 60he keyboard had the non screw ins correct?

[prisma beacon]

aka is it okay for me to wait a year maybe before deciding weather or not to mod it

[fluid ravine]

its your choice

you can leave it stock for like a whole year or whatever

[agile grove]

the module has screw ins

[stable kindle]

@prisma beaconcan be a degen like us or be a normal person, its up 2 u

[stable kindle]

right and that was cause it is considered superior

correct?

[agile grove]

also someone in this discord said the idea is to make the 60he+ module be the board in the stock wooting

[agile grove]

yes

[prisma beacon]

is it bad stock and needs to be modded ( new to keyboard modding)

[stable kindle]

in what way?

[fluid ravine]

your choice

for a gaming keyboard its pretty good

for sound and feel

[agile grove]

I should specify a wooting member

[fluid ravine]

but if you want like premium feel and sound go ahead and mod it to your preference

The only difference between the 60he+ and 60he is just screw in stabs

[stable kindle]

@agile grove a wooting member also told me that the price for the module from the badseed video was wrong at $140 and to ignore it

module was out a day later at $140

[prisma beacon]

okay thanks and yeah i do plan on using it for games obviously but sound and feel are key to me

[agile grove]

I've heard screw in stabs sound and feel better and are also more consistent.

[fluid ravine]

yes true

they are

[stable kindle]

@agile groveok ok that is also what ive heard

now

the module on its own cant use the gummy O ring mod

so people are removing the screwed in stabs and replaceing it with the other one

[sweet cedar]

the screw ins on the he+ module are gateron ink stabs right

[prisma beacon]

i love any modding community that refers to themself as degens (coming from the car scence lol)

[stable kindle]

whats it called click ins?

so that they can do the gummy 0 ring mod

[fluid ravine]

clip ins

[agile grove]

yes but theres discounts for all the parts making it cheaper to buy a module with an alumaze and switches compared to the stock wooting (obviously. it also comes with the PC plate which makes the price cheaper aswell.)

[stable kindle]

wow i was so fking close

almost big brain

[fluid ravine]

Yes in order to do gummy mount with 60he+ is to change the stabs to clip ins

the main screw in stabs that cause this problem is backspace and spcaebar

[stable kindle]

so is the gummy o ring that much better compared to the burger mount that it is worth replacing the screw ins to the clip ins?

[fluid ravine]

so your choice is to change them into either plate mount or clip ins

[stable kindle]

you still screw the pcb down even if you gummy o ring correct?

[fluid ravine]

1. Personally gummy mount is better than both tray mount and burger mount (preference but it seems true) it balances out the sound throughout the board while somewhat giving gasket performance (not really buts somewhat like burger mount anyways)
2. tbh from what i seen clips in pretty good and i think its much quicker to install and all thaat

[fluid ravine]

no

friction mount

[stable kindle]

so its literally just in there cause the friction from the o ring on the case and board is enough?

[fluid ravine]

when inserting the module with the gummy oring into the case it creatse friction making it snug aand tight into the case
causing it not to fall out

[stable kindle]

wouldnt that cause the board to move slightly up and down ?

[fluid ravine]

the module stay snugs but the pcb will sit on either the case posts or standoffs

gummy mount boards have pcb that has cutouts for the gummy oring to sit on the post
giving that bouncy feel you see

[stable kindle]

thanks again man

great info

[fluid ravine]

no problemo

but if you do gummy mount and you're like me who like gasket performance or bounce
just add somewhat squishy foam into the case like polyfill and you will receive a nice bounce and softer typing feel (the bounce is somewhat noticeable when using polyfill from my experience)

[agile grove]

are the raptors worth it for non keyboard enthusiast? im assuming the answer is probably no but I wanna get others' feedback.

[fluid ravine]

are you talking about the normal raptor switches?

[agile grove]

nah the raptor HE switches

[fluid ravine]

oh i read the question wrong my fault

i wouldnt really know tbh
since it just got released we dont got alot of reviews about it

[hard hawk]

Okay I just saw a Twitter post about someone using the lekker stems for the raptor switches and it had no stem wobble or noticeable sound I think.

[fluid ravine]

@stable kindle kinda funny how the guy said to grow up even though im still a kid

[hard hawk]

Now what I want to know is the stem swap still sensitive or the same?

[fluid ravine]

like i am!!

give me time 😂

[fluid ravine]

@glacial wind didnt you say the raptor's magnet are more sensitive?

[hard hawk]

I heard that the raptors were more sensitive than the lekkers

[fluid ravine]

its probably because the stems are made out of the same material while the top housing is the main cause for stem wobble and sound

[hard hawk]

But someone did a stem swap and I was curious

[craggy cipher]

Roptor HE has improved some wobble compared to Lekker Switch.
but not perfect

[hard hawk]

Ahh I see

[fluid ravine]

i dont know what really cause stem wobble but im guessing if they increase the size of the rails of the top housing for like a few or 1mm it should eliminate the stem wobble (again this is a guess i dont know how stem wobble works)

[hard hawk]

That’s what I thought of as well

[fluid ravine]

ok ima go work on my essay

cya

[hard hawk]

Cya

[craggy cipher]

As I posted yesterday, please make a MOD that combines the Lekker Switch stem + Roptor HE housing.
#🔧│keyboard_modding message

Now you have the perfect switch

[hard hawk]

Wait I found it

Am I able to send a link here?

@fluid ravine

[edgy thicket]

what's wrong with the raptor stems

oop

[fluid ravine]

send what

[hard hawk]

It’s the lekker stems with the raptor housing

[craggy cipher]

I threw it out the window

[hard hawk]

A Twitter or YouTube post

[fluid ravine]

sure

go ahead

i will look at it later

[edgy thicket]

yea but what's wrong with the stems that raptor has by default

[hard hawk]

https://x.com/sistermk1/status/1730172419514695861?s=46&t=OhNZMLEt_uhkc0_TgwmrPw

[fluid ravine]

i really need to finish this essay xd

[edgy thicket]

is it an issue with the magnet?

[hard hawk]

I would guess so since it’s sensitive

I’m not too concerned abt the stems or anything I just wanted to know if this solved the sensitive problem

[edgy thicket]

doesn't wooting autocalibrate each time you plug it in

[glacial wind]

Yeah by a tiny bit, so if you swapped and wanted to keep same sens you’d just adjust actuation higher

[hard hawk]

Ahh

[edgy thicket]

cause iirc i had an issue where i touched the keys as the keyboard was booting up

and that broke the keys i touched

that was the explanation i was given

[hard hawk]

So do you you have the raptors switches with you or tried them?

[glacial wind]

Yeah I’m the one who posted a sound test other day

[hard hawk]

OHH YEAHH

I forgot🧍

[glacial wind]

They basically make your wooting not feel or sound like a plasticky gamer keyboard

[edgy thicket]

@glacial wind

[glacial wind]

It doesn’t

It assumes you use lekkers

[edgy thicket]

okay

[hard hawk]

Did you try swapping the stems?

[edgy thicket]

that's kinda weird that wooting wouldn't add a calibration feature

[hard hawk]

Cause I saw one person posted about it

[edgy thicket]

cause it's useful for cases like this

[glacial wind]

I didn’t bother but if I reopen I might

But for me current config is just holdover. I’ll probably swap raptors to another board end of the year

[hard hawk]

Ahh

[edgy thicket]

any other places selling raptor switches now?

[glacial wind]

Well it doesn’t affect things really in the end so not really needed yet

[edgy thicket]

wdym it doesn't affect things

[glacial wind]

Rapid trigger is still exact same

It’s only your starting actuation point is more sensitive

Everything else is same same

[edgy thicket]

how come

[glacial wind]

Because that’s just how the pcb is programmed I guess

[edgy thicket]

yea but if the magnet is stronger shouldn't it have a higher value throughout the keytravel?

idk

[glacial wind]

But basically there’s no downside anyone has found so far beyond making your starting actuation a bit more sensitive

[edgy thicket]

do you own a sayodevice o3c

with that keypad you can look at the magnet strength of each switch

[glacial wind]

In the end any change in sens is just something you can adjust in software

If it’s too sensitive you just raise actuation or vice versa

So there’s no real downside

[edgy thicket]

it's inconvenient

[glacial wind]

And if you’re really worried you can just do the stem swap thing and have the wooting magnet in it

[edgy thicket]

yea

[glacial wind]

I didn’t change a single setting in mine

Performs same as ascendent+ games in valorant with just my 0.1 wasd being more sensitive

[hard hawk]

Plus you have the ultimate non stem wobble

It also sounds a bit good ngl

[edgy thicket]

but still, i imagine with future keyswitches that might have higher/lower magnet values it's definitely gonna be a problem

especially if the wooting stems aren't compatible

any new places selling the switch btw

or is this still the only site

[hard hawk]

From what I heard the switches might be in divinity keys soon

But I’m buying these off the site cause I have no patience

[harsh dove]

Divinikeys will have them soon. They already have an order.

[hard hawk]

Holy moly the shipping

[craggy cipher]

compared

[edgy thicket]

omg thank u

[craggy cipher]

It seems certain that the magnetic force is strong.

[edgy thicket]

sick

[hard hawk]

Do you know when they are coming to the website?

Or did they announce it?

[fluid ravine]

that gave me a big smile for some reason

[edgy thicket]

i wonder how the raptor switches compare to the tape mod

[harsh dove]

They said they don't have an order date yet but that the order is in.

This was from Sno Jed earlier

[hard hawk]

Ahhh okay good to know I’ll keep a look out then

Since I like the regular wooting case a lot I swear doing a gummy o-ring / tray mount is hard asf

It’s to the point where I’m like nah too much effort back to the burger mount

[fluid ravine]

my exact thoughts back then

[loud zephyr]

waptors and a lemon slice

[sweet oak]

boobcap

[loud zephyr]

but no module lelele

[quiet bay]

Why did Veho have to deliver my package 😩

[loud zephyr]

has it stalled somewhere?

[quiet bay]

They just take very long

10:53pm 🥲

will they even actually deliver it

[loud zephyr]

try not to worry too much, I'm sure it'll turn up

[quiet bay]

The last one didn't

This one is a replacement for the one that didn't

[loud zephyr]

No alternative address you could have used? I sent shit to work and then told me to stop, and now it kinda sucks coming home with packages sitting at the door. Luckily nothing has been stolen

[hard hawk]

Like currently on my board is a pc plate with silicone pad no tape mod no bandaid mod

[quiet bay]

The last one was misdelivered by USPS

[hard hawk]

I plan on doing a bandaid mod, tempest mod, maybe the switch mod, maybe holee mod, and I might try something different other than painters tape

[quiet bay]

Also are those nami's melons on a keycap???

[loud zephyr]

lol, yeah that was the theme

[loud zephyr]

can you do the Aegyo to the driver when you receive your package, that'd be kinda cool

[quiet bay]

I think you're expecting too much from an introvert who doesn't even meet the driver

[fluid ravine]

i would do it

[loud zephyr]

[loud zephyr]

[fluid ravine]

:D

[loud zephyr]

dude when the day comes you should try soldering a keyboard, that shit is zen

fumes even

[misty saddle]

Are there any mods for the Two HE I should be aware of?

[loud zephyr]

nothing in terms of case swap but this gentleman is working on a nice case #🔧│keyboard_modding message

Wallet looking at me like

[loud zephyr]

[quiet bay]

GYATTTT

well that's officially the fanciest full alu case i've ever seen

[misty saddle]

Looks like the perfect amount of jank too

I love it lol

I know prototypes aren't perfect, I just love seeing stuff at all stages

[loud zephyr]

for sure and I hope it works out, there must be quite a few 2HE owners out there feeling a bit left out

[quiet bay]

yeah uh highly doubt Veho is going to deliver my package lol

well that's already a bad first experience

[onyx pier]

damn raptors are sold out

[loud zephyr]

[gaunt linden]

It says Its not compatible with cherry mx ??

[loud zephyr]

there are two versions, mx and he

[static root]

The wooting 60he doesn't have pre-lube right?

[loud zephyr]

pre-lubed

[gaunt linden]

But but …

The cherry works with the wooting the?

Tho*

[sacred jay]

you're thinking of something else

mx style keycaps work on he switches

so you could rip off keycaps from a board and use em on your wooting if u want

but wooting only works with he switches, it has no pins for mx

[craggy cipher]

Raptor HE is back in stock

[stray tiger]

A fellow bogan lover

[sacred jay]

42-52g effective range i think ive said this like 4 days ago but i need just one store to ship really short lekker size springs

im feeling 12mm

[craggy cipher]

I wanted a spring like that too, so I asked a factory in my country to make it to order, but I was told it would cost about $4 each, so I stopped making it.

[loud zephyr]

My first one ever too! His next drop is a new sculp which looks pretty crazy. Someday I'll get me a goonblank.. someday

[cedar hemlock]

anyone know is L45 better than L60 for fps game?

[loud zephyr]

all depends how heavy fingered you are

[cedar hemlock]

hmm My L45 just arrived hh. tbh idk about

[loud zephyr]

as long as you're comfortable with the spring weight then it doesn't matter if it's L45 or L60, no performance advantage

[craggy cipher]

it's a matter of preference
If you are nervous and tend to strain your fingers and make malfunctions, you have the option of using the L60.
In addition, you can reduce finger fatigue by changing only the WASD keys that you use for long periods of time to L45.
I recommend trying various things.

[cedar hemlock]

thanks bro

[cedar hemlock]

thanks for advice. will try!

[loud zephyr]

👍

[cedar hemlock]

btw, if i only plan to swap like 4 switches (WASD), is the methond 2 fine? or it may casue damage or something

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KtpE1mv23s&ab_channel=Wooting

[harsh dove]

Cause DiviniKeys bought them lol

[weary tree]

You can slightly damage the switches

The clips holding onto the plate on the top of the switches dont really move

[cedar hemlock]

So method 2 is ok?

[weary tree]

I still use it but it scrapes the top clips a little bit

You can do it yeah but just keep that in mind.

[cedar hemlock]

okk！@

[plain pivot]

First time ever lubing... took a bit of time but for no mousepad under it I think it came out pretty good?:)

[pale aspen]

best HE switch for now

[bronze grove]

The raptor bandwagoning is so, so over the top 😄

[obsidian dagger]

it's keyboard modding, what do you expect. more mods = more good

[bronze grove]

https://tenor.com/view/fair-baron-zemo-the-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier-fair-enough-seems-fair-gif-22912772

[onyx pier]

they are releasing a new colour so that the rgb wont get affected they said around march

[minor pond]

Is the ks-20 any good ?

[static tendon]

Hello @bronze grove I was wondering if you had any extra photos of your white Alumaze60 case?
How different is the concrete gray compared to white?

[dense flower]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyKa1hIXnQQ

This guy places the L60 stems into the Raptor housing without adding any hand lubing. He mentioned he prefers it this way. Also he added that although on paper the actuation end force is lighter it feels a little heavier than the L60.

[bronze grove]

I don't have any white cases?

[static tendon]

Oh I thought you had the concrete gray Alumaze60 no?

[bronze grove]

You just called it white.

I have the concrete one.

[velvet egret]

The mixed actually sounds nice

[static tendon]

Apologies, I meant to call it out as concrete gray

[dense flower]

I like how it sounds stock and less wobble is nice

[velvet egret]

Mixed has a more thock sound to it.

less chatter too

wish i could understand what he was saying

[dense flower]

I agree. My wooting is coming next week. I’ll use it stock for a bit and see whether I want to do any mods or replace anything

[dense flower]

What I typed under the video URL was pretty much all he said

[velvet egret]

i only see i assume japanese in the comments

[dense flower]

He also mentioned he strongly believes majority of people will prefer the raptors over the lekker switches

[velvet egret]

nvm found one thats english

[dense flower]

If if wasn’t so expensive with shipping I would’ve ordered them right away

First things first. I gotta see how it feels stock

Who knows. I might just love the way it feels and sounds out of the box and keep it that way

[velvet egret]

meh im in no rush i got a module pre-order and imma wait on others to spend their money first on trying these :p

[velvet egret]

yeah exactly

[dense flower]

My friend was the one who convinced me to order the 60he. I was on the fence of getting either the Drunkdeer or apex pro

He said it is amazing stock and won’t be modding it

[velvet egret]

good friend he is..

[static tendon]

Just checking back in, did you by any chance have any other photos for reference of the concrete gray alumaze60 case? Otherwise it’s no worries 😁

[bronze grove]

#1153678744985280583 message of it all together.

[normal shoal]

so good

[harsh dove]

Supposedly my Salvation gets here tomorrow but I don’t believe them

[static tendon]

Huge thanks!

[silk token]

So I think I figured out how they wired the Wooting Two HE. This is an essentially similar cable I found on Ali Express. The difference would be the gray wire would correspond to shield cable on a standard USB 4 conductor + shield cable. They ground the conductor directly to the USB-C shroud. This makes sense as the USB-C male outer shroud it mates with is grounded in the standard cables.

Anyway, I suspect the Wooting cable splits (Y split) this outer ground at the board/plate side into the 2nd ground for the JST connector and the plate ground cable.

[formal snow]

what keycaps will work on the 60he? im like new to all this

[molten breach]

Why is this relevant? In the case you need a replacement please ask Wooting so they can send you one.
If you want to create your own one for customization your should know how the USB Type-C connector should be wired. I forgot the exact wiring. I made a few posts a while back on how such a cable needs to be designed.
Because you need to wire the detection pins (CC pins) correctly otherwise the host would not provide power to the device. This is relevant when you use a USB Type-C to C cable.

[finite gate]

any

if using cherry profile just flip the switch around

[formal snow]

i can order any keycaps and it will fit?

[bronze grove]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[formal snow]

oh ok ty

[obsidian dagger]

not necessary

[tardy cove]

Out of curiosity what makes you say the bandwagoning is over the top? From what I've seen people are just excited to see another vendor of HE switches. That's a big part of what draws people to custom keebs in the first place IMO is fine tuning a keyboard to exactly how you want it to be 😁

[bronze grove]

People are touting the Raptor switch to be the next coming of Jesus, the uber switch to save all HE switches ever.

[sand oasis]

I assume that this will be the same for almost every HE switch release

[tardy cove]

Haha well that's a bummer. I think anyone who thinks it's going to be a night and day difference will be let down. But I am excited to see a manufacturer other than gateron in the world. More custom switches means more options for those looking to fine tune how they like things!

[bronze grove]

The KS20 from Gateron did receive some initial hype. But nothing like these raptors.

The hype will have you believe it completely solves stem grind, sounds like a dream and it makes you pancakes on saturdays.

Hopefully once the switches are more thoroughly tested with reviewers, it'll be more clear exactly what to expect.

[glacial wind]

honestly it is a night and day difference from lekkers as far as stem wobble goes

[sand oasis]

im tempted to order them

[glacial wind]

i think the hype is because the wobbly feel of lekkers was pretty much the one real downside left for using a wooting. The switches just feel bad compared to almost any of the popular custom keyboard switches

raptor he is the first option to exist that actually instantly fixes that and brings wooting up to the level of an entry level custom

[tardy cove]

I do agree time will tell how people like them. Atleast from my perspective I think the ks20 was hyped just to have another HE switch in the game. For me the excitement is to have another manufacturer in the game. They might be great they might not. But getting more switches and more options to customize is only a good thing for the scene and for the longevity of HE boards

[glacial wind]

I have no idea why people hype the ks20, it's not a real improvement over lekkers

keyboard modders have a habit of overhyping small sound changes and such. For example hand lube vs factory lube lekkers - some people have said before that it's a big jump in sound, but reality is average person probably barely is able to tell

raptor he is very different though in that i'd be extremely surprised to find people who can't instantly notice the rattle is gone

[tardy cove]

Ya I hope I notice a large difference when mine arrive. I would say my biggest issue with the wooting was the switches from the start. Nothing against gateron specifically but I've never found them to make any of my favorite switches. So the option to try something new is exciting. And I've had luck with bsun switches in the past and heard good things

[pale aspen]

well, becuase wooting switch is inferior compare to Raptor

l60 l45 and KS20

Gateron trait

[upbeat minnow]

Thank you Anders

[dense flower]

Your words are convincing me to make an order lol

[silk token]

Well we texted back and forth about the ground wires and you said they could be ignored. I was a bit uncomfortable with that being a bit of a perfectionist and wanting to duplicate Wooting's design.

[strange sand]

Hey guys, what are the best thocky key caps I should buy? Im getting the wooting module and would like peoples opinions

[finite gate]

Cerakey

most thock

[glacial wind]

yeah cerakey for sure, but make sure you're not using L45 with those

[finite gate]

Couple of people have cerakey on wootings

[bronze grove]

So you say. I for one trust more in proper testing regimen than blind bangwagon hype 😄

[finite gate]

Ye need l60 / l65 / the large springs

[glacial wind]

need that stronger spring to stand the cerakeys weight

[finite gate]

is l65 even a thing

Im so dense

[bronze grove]

Tiny spoiler: We have a solution coming that will please cerakey owners.

[finite gate]

o

Reposted to cerakey disx

[glacial wind]

Raptors have already been reviewed a ton in KR community honestly. There's maybe 15+ reviews on various korean places

all basically same thing, stem wobble greatly reduced

[finite gate]

i never really see geon stuff outside of kr and us

[wary pollen]

Nylon top helps A LOT with the sound

[bronze grove]

The switches aren't GEON

[finite gate]

geon sells*

[wary pollen]

he doesn't disclose manu for the switches

[strange sand]

ahhh nooo :( i wanted the L45 switches since i play alot of CS2/Valorant and i heard the cerakeys are very thocky, thats a shame they dont mix well

[bronze grove]

It's not a huge secret. But I'm not one to spoil that.

[finite gate]

idk im not he keyboard owner hehe..i am here to steal memes

[finite gate]

Nono

Springs are fine

Spacebar is the problem

[strange sand]

ahhh i see

[wary pollen]

actual GigaChad move. I respect it

[finite gate]

It weighs 19.5g which makes space actuation like 15g i cant math

hooray now you can buy cerakey

[karmic rampart]

Separate heavier spring sales👀

[wary pollen]

still waiting on long/multistage springs for HE switches

[tardy cove]

Heavier long multistage springs would be amazing. I've always loved tactical switches and obv with HE switches that's not an option haha

I also would love a very heavy spring specifically for my spacebar. That's how I have it on all my custom boards

[onyx pier]

Cant wait

[strange sand]

if i cant get CeraKeys, what is the next best thocky keycaps?

[finite gate]

Aluminium keycaps

Which are 3x more expensive that cerakey and have pingy noise

So probably osume or nicepbt, they are 1.7mm thick pbt

[wary pollen]

I really like the sound of XMi Dye sub caps on a POM plate

[finite gate]

i do still recommend cerakey though, heres a video (not mine)

[unborn cargo]

is it safe to use moleskin tape for the tape mod instead of painters tape?

[wary pollen]

I swap beteen this config and my CF build whenever I want a change in sound

[wary pollen]

to be safe, I'd say you can put a layer of painter's tape on the PCB first, then you apply the moleskin

[unborn cargo]

alr and you think 1 layer of painter and 2 of moleskin would fit?

[wary pollen]

yeah, that should fit just fine, really just depends whether you have case foam or not

[unborn cargo]

would you recommend 1 layer of painters and 3 of moleskin without case foam vs 1 layer of painters 2 moleskin and the case foam?

[wary pollen]

I'd go with the option of no foam, and start from there

[unborn cargo]

alr. thank you very much saw a video of moleskin mod and it made so much difference

[pale aspen]

XMI is thickest PBT dyesub set i have encounter

really good set for $24

customization is no.1 in the market

[unborn cargo]

can u buy it on amazon? if so is there a link?

[pale aspen]

no sadly

21kb is the way for american

[unborn cargo]

oh alr. thank you tho

[pale aspen]

so far, with Raptor HE you tested

• Frog mini / CF plate / no Foam / ABS PBTfans
• Frog mini / POM plate / no Foam / XMI
  right?

[wary pollen]

yup, and doubleshot ABS Evil Dolch clones, but that's mostly an aesthetic config lol

[wary pollen]

Also:
PSD60 Gasket / Alu Plate/ xyz foam config/ xyz caps

[pale aspen]

Wooting60FrogMiniPlatev2

is this the plate file for Frog mini u use?

[wary pollen]

I used that file for the POM plate

the file for my CF plate is the leafspring without any other relief cuts anywhere else

[pale aspen]

could you send CF plate file in my DM?

[pale aspen]

i will see if there is any update for n680, or i will buy frog mini and slap wooting pcb into it

[wary pollen]

I'm just waiting on a JST capable HE pcb so I can use it in the upcoming F2-60

daughterboard capable 60HE would be insane for custom builds

[pale aspen]

i totally forgot that F2-60 exist lmao

it has been like 2 years

[wary pollen]

there's a new Proto out, so hopes are high for 2024

[strange sand]

should i get the wooting wrist rest?

[sand oasis]

completely depends

i personaly dont use one

but if you think the typing angle might not be perfect for you then you can try it

[wary pollen]

I would normally use a wrist rest, but the front height is so low on the Frog that I can play without it it just fine. Been using it on other boards though

[strange sand]

hmmm okay ill hold off buying it for now, i can always get it afterwards

[wary pollen]

I'd recommend it for higher profile builds

[sand oasis]

yep

[strange sand]

im getting the tofu60 redux, should i get the wrist rest there?

[sand oasis]

i have the redux and it doesnt feel uncomforable without a rest

[pale aspen]

2023 - year of FRL
2024 - year of Hall Effect

[sand oasis]

but i dont do that much typing aside from when im playing games if you type a lot you might like to have one

[wary pollen]

Tofu's around the middle in terms of profile

but I personally use a wristrest on it

[sand oasis]

i might get one for general use but wont use it when im playing games

[glacial wind]

True, it’s really hitting almost every maker now. Although I do find some of the reviews on YouTube very clickbaity

[pale aspen]

mechkey is already salty about it

[glacial wind]

I saw one review of the Akko which has major software issues with rapid trigger still and the title is “this board will change gaming” lol

[obsidian dagger]

always is

[glacial wind]

Keyboard reviewers are some of the worst at reviewing gaming features, entire review just took akkos word that rapid trigger stuff worked without testing and realising it’s still broken

[wary pollen]

I guess you could say that "HE" is............a magnet for clicks

[wary pollen]

The Akko board was very disappointing, but not too surprising as I th ought it would be the case due to Akko's software being a weakpoint of their products

Back on the topic of keycaps, I really like the sound of the alphas on PBT, but the spacebar just doesn't hit the same spot as ABS

[pale aspen]

Rakka is also interesting, they cliam real 0.1mm

gb closed tho

i keep monitoring chinese community for news about it

[wary pollen]

honestly HE boards are one hell of a beast to take up for board designers

as you gotta get both hardware AND software right to a high standard for it to be a good implementation

Great job on Wooting for the work on RT and Tachyon

[glacial wind]

i'm honestly impressed a bit by geon's work at gathering feedback and such. I didn't even realized until yesterday that he messaged me a couple times asking for feedback when he saw I was interested in the raptors

[wary pollen]

That's actually how I got the Raptors lol

he dm'd me out of the blue and asked me about my build experience regarding HE boards

especially cuz of the DIY BS I pulled with the PSD60 gasket (picture a lunatic w/ a brand new 60HE PCB on top of a plate and a drill on the other hand, about to drill in standoff holes onto the plate), and the Frog build didn't hurt my chances either

[pale aspen]

QMK/VIA with HE intregation possible?

[wary pollen]

yes and no

[glacial wind]

there was a screenshot of one implementation for ec board in keebs talk channel by pronin other day

[wary pollen]

for basic functions that are already there, it can work

but the analog features have no support through QMK/VIA

[stray otter]

https://tenor.com/view/football-soccer-sport-referee-yellow-card-gif-26513155

I almost went for a straight red, but I figured it's early so I would be forgiving.

[strange sand]

Does the burger mount affect the sound profile of a keyboard or is it mostly for feel? And should i do it if i want a Thocky sound?

[sage flicker]

think I read that burger mount isolates the noise from switches from the case, so yeah I think it gets thockier.

[old swallow]

its mostly for sound, it doesnt really affect the feel

[robust bramble]

can someone recommend a nice budget case for the wooting 60 he?

[spice herald]

Anybody know what size o ring I need to gasket mount my alumaze build?

[stray otter]

I ordered the Graveshift medium on Nix's rec but I don't know the dimensions.

[spice herald]

Alright sweet - I’ll check it out now

[sand oasis]

What’s your budget

[spice herald]

Any idea if the #A changes anything besides the color?

[stray otter]

Not a clue, bud.

[spice herald]

All good figured I’d see

[stray otter]

I just took the advice and ran with it.

Dunno where you are, but for me it was less that $10 with shipping in the US.

[spice herald]

Yeah that’s where I’m at too - just did some research and the A number is a hardness scale. The higher the #A the harder the ring is

[glad ruin]

This is a problem with reviewers in general, for anything, movie, restaurants, you could even extend it to politicians, bosses, whatever. People get too ingrained in the lifestyle of deciding what's best for other people they lose touch with reality.

Most reviewers are not pro level gamers, or even good

[unkempt crystal]

That’s a lot of krytox 205

[marble shuttle]

👀

[harsh dove]

The A determines the hardness level of the O Ring

#🪛│modding_faq

[spice herald]

Yeah that’s where I checked after I asked - got the 40A since I saw that’s what was recommended

[harsh dove]

Gotcha, yeah that’s what I use.

[ionic bay]

if I end up getting a module I'll sacrifice my OG pcb for a daughterboard trial

also i am watching the stream and saw something about a 2HE alu case?

can someone point me towards this?

[glad ruin]

The o rings that come with the module are for burger mounting it right?

[molten breach]

I don't know what you mean.

Ground wires should never be ignored and I never wrote that! I wrote that I'm not sure about how to properly handle the shielding ground and if that should be connected to common ground of the device side. This is by no way to be taken as ignoring it.

There is a huge difference between leaving something unconnected on purpose and don't care about it and so ignoring it.

I also changed my point and wrote that I now believe it should be connected.

When you buy such an assembled connector make sure that the CC pins are wired up correctly with the correct resistance. I don't even remember if these should be connected to ground or Vcc.

If I don't forget it, I will check if the shield is connected on the cable to ground or on the board for the Wootings.

[agile grove]

My brother thinks im stupid for spending 300 dabloons on a custom wooting

he simply doesnt understand the beauty of the wooting.

[harsh dove]

Tell him someone else spent a $1000 and see what he says

[agile grove]

someone else spent WHAT

[elder dune]

that and it's a cheap hobby compared to others lol. Race cars get expensive real quick. Then you have floating, flying things, etc..

[devout torrent]

anyone had a bad ks-20 switch?

got a friend who has a board that has ks-20 not working

some work some dont its friggin weird

but other switches work fine

I think his ks-20s are bad

[cunning nimbus]

Are the Raptor HE’s good enough stock as is or do they need to be lubed/filmed?

[glacial wind]

They’re fine stock. If you are super picky then you can hand lube to fix maybe 1 in 5 that might have slightly uneven lube on the rails, but they’re honestly ‘good enough’ stock

[marble shuttle]

bad batch prob

[devout torrent]

ye looks like bad batch

just never seen one

[devout torrent]

raptor + lekekr stem is best

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyKa1hIXnQQ

least wobble that way

shout out to the Japanese community for being so awesome

[sacred jay]

its keyboard ppl they dont give a damn about better functionality tbh

[marble shuttle]

you have to buy it it shouldnt be expensive atm

[sacred jay]

a board that has ks20 not working?

wooting or other he

could be bad sensor

[cunning nimbus]

Dope I should be getting them today. I was going to hand lube my L45’s but jumped on the Raptor hype instead lol.

[glacial wind]

I’m honestly contemplating if I should play around with the stem swap thing

But I already hand lubed 90 of them, opening them up again right away might be too annoying even for me

[untold wigeon]

whats the actuation force on the raptors?

[celest wedge]

Yeah

[devout torrent]

yeah the switches are not working

[glacial wind]

52g bottom out iirc

[devout torrent]

they work with lekker stems

so magnet or sensor is busted

[harsh dove]

I’ll probably just wait for the new Raptors coming out in March

Although I do realllyyyyy like the red and black of these ones (fave colors)

Maybe I snag both idk yet

Think I’d love to do like my black salvation case with the raptors and a carbon fiber plate

march

too far

[harsh dove]

For the RGB ones

I’ll probably just get these red and black ones since that’s my fave colors

[marble shuttle]

so sat it is march

[harsh dove]

And March isn’t too far when you’re already waiting for the module in February

[marble shuttle]

true

[harsh dove]

Be here before you know it

[untold wigeon]

whats so good bout raptors

[harsh dove]

Nothing

They’re terrible

Don’t buy them

Overhyped

Got some ptfe tape at work

I’ll do plumbers mod when I get home and test it out

[polar girder]

What?

Why do I do this to myself lol

[harsh dove]

RGB Friendly version

[polar girder]

Oh I don’t care about rgb

[harsh dove]

Me either really

[polar girder]

Same material just different color?

[harsh dove]

I just run white RGB anyway

[polar girder]

But what if they use a diff material and it sounds better???

[harsh dove]

Idk if they’ll do any revisions besides color

I kinda hope they do lol

Just to give more of a reason to buy

[polar girder]

So I can buy my fourth set of switches for the 60HE

[harsh dove]

Haha exactly

[polar girder]

Yeah sweet, dude

[harsh dove]

Like I said tho , I’ll most likely buy these red and black ones once DiviniKeys has them up

[polar girder]

Yeah I ordered them. We shall see

Decided to go back from gummy mount to burger mount, I think burger produces a more muted sound so I prefer that lol

[cunning nimbus]

Raptors just came in and the hype is definitely warranted. These make my Wooting sound closer to some of my custom keyboards. Now just gotta test how they feel in Val.

[cinder merlin]

did they reduce the stem wobble?

[untold wigeon]

Are they better for n terms of performance

[cunning nimbus]

Definitely less wobble and as some people have mentioned here, basically no chatter. Coming from the L45 it’s a noticeable improvement in sound/feel.

[cunning nimbus]

Will test performance later tonight

[agile grove]

my tofu redux just arrived! now I just gotta wait for the module...

[cinder merlin]

That's the main reason I want to get this

[untold wigeon]

Ight

[cunning nimbus]

Also shipping was quicker than expected. Ordered Tuesday and arrived today.

[harsh dove]

The starting actuation is 0.1mm shorter

So the keys are more sensitive

[untold wigeon]

True

[harsh dove]

Other than that, people said they perform the same as lekkers

Just faster bottom out

[cinder merlin]

did u order from GEON.works?

that is the only place I've seen them being sold

[harsh dove]

DiviniKeys has an order coming to their warehouse

For US

[cinder merlin]

yea I heard that, but sadly not sure when it will arrive

[harsh dove]

Right yeah

Hopefully soon

[cunning nimbus]

Yeah ordered directly from GEON. Though Divinikey is looking into stocking the Raptor HE as well. They already stock some other GEON switches.

[cinder merlin]

I'm very tempted to just purchase them from Geon so i don't have to wait xD

[cinder merlin]

On the delivery time, are u in NA or is it somewhere else?

[cunning nimbus]

I’m in NA/East Coast.

[cinder merlin]

ah, 3 day delivery

is actually pretty great

i expected like 1-2 weeks

xD

[cunning nimbus]

Yeah DHL is goated

[cinder merlin]

its 61 keys correct?

at least for the board

[cunning nimbus]

Yeah 61 keys on the Wooting

[cinder merlin]

any change on the rgb?

[cunning nimbus]

I turned off RGB so not sure but I imagine with the red tint there would be a change

[cinder merlin]

ah ic ic

[marble shuttle]

for turkey no 😦

[harsh dove]

Not sure

[harsh dove]

How much was your shipping?

I’m mid west and shipping was $57

[cunning nimbus]

For me it was about $24

[harsh dove]

That’s wild

Wonder why it’s double for me

Both being in the U.S.

I would’ve bought it with $24 shipping but $57 is more than the item itself

[hallow cove]

I’m also Midwest and it’s $24 for me. That’s really odd why it’s so much for you

[harsh dove]

Yeah doesn’t make sense, I’m in Colorado

They acting like they have to ship to Mars

I’ve never seen shipping that high on anything I’ve purchased

No matter the country

I went ahead and sent an email though cause I’m curious to know why my shipping is more than double your guy’s

[marble shuttle]

why these shipping like just akko they are really good at it it is so low price

[harsh dove]

Like why $57

[marble shuttle]

this is same when i order from lethal gaming 😄

60 dolar

[harsh dove]

Most I’ve ever paid for shipping is like $25

From any country

[marble shuttle]

57 is deadass

[cunning nimbus]

Yeah something isn’t right there. Maybe reach out to their support or Discord?

[harsh dove]

Yeah doesn’t seem right

Feels like a scam

I asked in their discord and got told it’s 6:48am on a Saturday there so

Aka fuck off and come back at a later time

I wake up at 4-5am everyday but whatever

[stray otter]

I dunno who posted about Divinikey carrying the Raptors but does anyone know what that timeline looks like?

[sand oasis]

Shipping 20 dollars to uk which is a bit long

[harsh dove]

Sno Jed posted it and DiviniKeys themselves said they didn’t know

[sand oasis]

Might just do it

[harsh dove]

They said they have the order placed already but no shipping date @stray otter

[stray otter]

Gotcha

I'm not in any rush but I'm down to try as long as you don't get butt fucked on shipping.

[harsh dove]

Yeah just don’t live in Colorado I guess and you’ll be fine

[stray otter]

I don't really care enough to try the 45s but a new housing is interesting

[harsh dove]

For everyone except me it seems like shipping is $20-25

[untold wigeon]

House

[harsh dove]

I live in another dimension tho so shipping is $57 for me only

Cause I’m special

[untold wigeon]

I love going on holiday in the other dimension

[harsh dove]

Fellow dimension hopper

[quiet bay]

alrightt looks like my wooting uwu will just never deliver to me huh

[untold wigeon]

is the foam worth buying

[quiet bay]

Wooting foam is already good enough so you don't really need more foam

[untold wigeon]

how many days is shipping if im in the us

[quiet bay]

unless ur like buying the module then yeah buy the foam

[untold wigeon]

my wooting foam broke LOL

i ripped the top part and the thing got shredded

[dreamy drum]

dog ate my wooting foam

[untold wigeon]

Help the screw in the space bar is going in but won’t tighten

[sand oasis]

Doesn’t need to be super tight

[untold wigeon]

It won’t screw in

[sand oasis]

Have you tried loosening other screws and then trying to screw it

[untold wigeon]

Ye

Should I take the thing apart

?

[sand oasis]

Is that the redux?

[untold wigeon]

Yes

[sand oasis]

Did you install the gold standoff?

[untold wigeon]

Yes

[sand oasis]

Hmm idk then

[untold wigeon]

Ima redo it all

[sand oasis]

Take it out and try again is my guess

[untold wigeon]

Alr

[steady valley]

Does anyone know where i can order a set of good quality keycaps? I want to be able to customise the colour for each individual keycap, not just pick an existing design

[marble shuttle]

Push it Down while trying tightining

[untold wigeon]

?

[untold wigeon]

I just added the gold thing do you think that was the problem

[quiet bay]

yes...

What is there to screw if there's nothing to screw

[fluid ravine]

PFP SO CUTE xdd

[quiet bay]

yeeee

christmas pochita style

[old swallow]

yeah, that must have been the problem, altough some people just leave that one out and dont screw it in the middle. cause you get a bit of a different sound profile that way

[surreal linden]

Anyone know how much polyfill you gotta use for a keyboard?

[quiet bay]

u kind of just eyeball it

[surreal linden]

o

You think this is fine?

Or too much?

[finite gate]

Ye that fine

[surreal linden]

Okok Ty

[finite gate]

I would tape the pcb and case though

polyfill is conductive

[surreal linden]

Wdym?

[finite gate]

oh

[surreal linden]

Like tape mod?

[finite gate]

basically polyfill generates heat and can conduct electricity i think so without anything in between = fire

[finite gate]

ye

i have a sheet of paper underneath polyfill in my polyfilled boards

[surreal linden]

o I see

Ok

Should I do the walls of the case too?

[finite gate]

dont think so

Pcb doesnt contact walls

[surreal linden]

o ok

[finite gate]

especially since its a reduz case too which is made of alu

if you experience overheating just take some poly out

metal case acts as heatshrink

[surreal linden]

o I see

I’m taping the bottom

[sand oasis]

Yeh that’s what I meant by the gold stand off

[surreal linden]

Also there’s a screw hole in the middle

Idk if I’m suppose to have a screw there

[cinder merlin]

That's only if you want to screw in the middle standoff

the wooting by default does not screw in the middle standoff

but u can if u want

[surreal linden]

Ah I see

[quiet bay]

I am garbage when it comes to screwing in screws so I just use gummy o ring mount lmao

[surreal linden]

Kdbfan also doesn’t

[cinder merlin]

i just swapped back to burger xD

[surreal linden]

o mine comes in a week

[cinder merlin]

i think gummy was a little too pingy for me for the sound profile, somehow burger was a bit more muted

Everytime I take it out too its like going on battle xD

[surreal linden]

Wait how do y’all tell if your keyboard overheats?
