[pallid echo]

i forgot to put my poly fill omg

welp

[polar girder]

Lolz. Yeah I have to put mine in tonight

Gonna try gummy o-ring mount too

[pallid echo]

now do u guys have any tips to get the friction mount off LOL

[pallid echo]

it lowkey sounds fire in the short time i tested it haha

[unborn cargo]

Well I tried everything. Is it OK if just 2 screws get in? It doesn't really fall

[quiet bay]

I take the \ switch off and then use the switch puller to pull it up

[pallid echo]

thank u i will try that

[harsh dove]

Remove spacebar and pull up

Remove more bottom row keys if needed

If you have PC plate be careful not to snap it

[unborn cargo]

Yo is it OK if I only get 2 screws in? It doesn't fall out and the other 3 don't get in

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s fine as long as it’s fine to you

Is it the tab and caps lock screws?

[unborn cargo]

Tab caps and space bar don't work

Only the 2 on the right do

[potent wedge]

Mod stab wooting is good ?

[pallid echo]

yeah the flex had me stressing when i first took it out lol

finally finished for now

[harsh dove]

Oof, I’d try getting at least one on each side

Ideally 4 in total

[harsh dove]

The stock stabs on the Wooting Module are said to be good, yes.

[granite blaze]

should i build my wooting with south facing lekker l45 leds? or does it matter

[sand oasis]

ik for 60s it doesnt matter

[unborn cargo]

i tried for over an hour.

[harsh dove]

Hmm that’s odd that it’s not lining up after tape mod. Could try reapplying the tape mod. But if you’re exhausted then maybe do it another day

[unborn cargo]

yhea i might just leave it like that for a few weeks cause im buying the mod stuff from amazon in 1 week and then ill remove it and do the other mods

and maybe by then it will be fixed

[harsh dove]

Yeah forsure, best of luck, and don’t be afraid to ask questions here

[unborn cargo]

aight ty

[granite blaze]

ty

[strong orchid]

really stupid question but im not sure if the screws go in for the plate or not or if i just put the pcb over it and screw it in

this is my first time please let me know

[stray tiger]

No such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people

To answer your question though, there are standoffs you can screw in to the case if you want to have additional mounting points. Then your screw down the PCb to those

[strong orchid]

So i dont need to?

[stray tiger]

You dont need to if you dont want to.

[strong orchid]

Thank you so much i really appreciate the assistance:)

[stray tiger]

Started organizing my keyboard stuff finally. You know it's a problem when you fill up a 4ft tool chest and still need more room

I also ran out of switch bins

[polar girder]

lol dang

Big keyboard guy over here

[stray tiger]

Thats not even close to all of them. Ive got more stuff then I reealized

[polar girder]

Lmk if you want to sell some stuff

Was thinking to build my wife a keyboard for work

Would probably need wireless now that I’m thinking about it

[stray tiger]

Cant help you there, would have wired only

[polar girder]

Fair enough.

[strong orchid]

@stray tiger Thank you!

[stray tiger]

Looks great! Now you just need something other than a potato to take photos of it

[strong orchid]

😂

Bad lighting😭

[stray tiger]

Haha Im just giving you a hard time. Glad its up and running but if you're happy with it you should avoid this channel

[polar girder]

Looks great 🔥

[strong orchid]

Thank you very much :)

[fluid ravine]

What I miss

[polar girder]

My raptors showed up

I’m not home yet tho

[fluid ravine]

Damn

[strong orchid]

tofu60 redux

[fluid ravine]

I was abt to get excited for you

Always when we not home

[fluid ravine]

What color?

Not at home as well

[strong orchid]

Silver

[fluid ravine]

Silba

[fluid ravine]

Gaah damn

[polar girder]

Got that magnesium boi on deck

[quiet bay]

Beast X?

[fluid ravine]

Which mouse that is

[polar girder]

Straight killing em

[strong orchid]

[fluid ravine]

OH YE BEAST X

LMAO

[strong orchid]

just ordered my kurosun ninja

swapping out my artisan zero

going for an all silver/black/white

[quiet bay]

ooo

[strong orchid]

yesss

[fluid ravine]

Me still trying to find large mousepad

[quiet bay]

I'm going for a all black/white

[stray tiger]

Ive been going through boxes of keyboard stuff and it's not pretty. I filled up a tool chest and still not enough room

[strong orchid]

anything to rank up in val (i cant)

[fluid ravine]

;-;

[strong orchid]

GET A DESKMAT 😭

[polar girder]

Yo lil bro

[fluid ravine]

Sup

[polar girder]

You want a Venus XXL

[quiet bay]

I wish they made a white and black version for beast x

[polar girder]

when I get a Saturn pro XXL

[fluid ravine]

Dunno what that is xd

[strong orchid]

they made a black

[fluid ravine]

What it look like

[strong orchid]

or you mean like both

[quiet bay]

both

[strong orchid]

i thought they did

[quiet bay]

did they?

just these colors rn

[strong orchid]

no i stand corrected

i lowkey love the pink

[polar girder]

That one @fluid ravine

[quiet bay]

the black and gold version looks nice but it doesnt fit my setup

[strong orchid]

Super cleannn

[quiet bay]

ooo

[polar girder]

It’s a hybrid pad

[strong orchid]

go all black

[quiet bay]

I already got a white and black keyboard xD

[strange sand]

how good is the pre-lube on the L45s?

[fluid ravine]

Woah that's huge

[polar girder]

Better than old lube job. It’s ok.

[strong orchid]

i meant mouse loool

[quiet bay]

I want to pair it with my keyboard ;-;

[fluid ravine]

I mean sure if you don't mind @polar girder

[strange sand]

would you stil handlube it? and should i remove the factory lueb first before hand lubing myself?

[polar girder]

I gotta wait for Saturn pro to come back in stock

So might be a while

[polar girder]

Yes I would. But I bought raptors instead

Will use l45 stem and spring and oil and lube both tho

I don’t think remove is the move

[strange sand]

fairs thanks for the input

[fluid ravine]

Alrighty 👍👍

[strange sand]

I got the wooting module coming soon, my tofu redux case came in today

still waiting for this EU batch :(((

[fluid ravine]

W

[quiet bay]

got a long time to wait lmao

[strange sand]

yupp

its aight tho

it will be worth it

[polar girder]

Yeah I ordered module too

Was thinking to get some clip in PCB mount stabs

To make it gummy mount compatible

[strong orchid]

fair maybe try painting

this is my setup rn

[quiet bay]

o man not sure if I want to risk it on an expensive mouse

never tried spray painting before

[strong orchid]

Ooo true

You could probably buy a custom one somewhere

[quiet bay]

maybe, I'll wait

not like I need a new mouse rn

[strong orchid]

True that its no rush

[polar girder]

I might order M3K when it drops

[stray tiger]

Ive got some clips-ins that have been collecting dust that I plan to try

[harsh dove]

Welcome to my world

[polar girder]

Nice dude. I’ll hold off for your verdict.

[harsh dove]

Was reorganizing my closet/storage shed

[polar girder]

Dear lord bro

My man stays shopping

[quiet bay]

I think beast x did make a white and black mouse but it's gone .-.

[harsh dove]

Yep lol

[stray tiger]

I've got some of these QMX ones I never used so I'll let you know

[harsh dove]

I’m curious to know how you like the QMXs

[polar girder]

Hype

[stray tiger]

I'm actually only cleaning because I'm trying to get the office cleaned out for my stream

[harsh dove]

Ah okay, I just reorganized cause shit (packages) was piling up

This was after

[heady terrace]

anyone seen the new geonworks raptor he switch?

[fluid ravine]

what platform

[fluid ravine]

clean

👏

[fluid ravine]

yes

we been talking for serveral days abt it

[heady terrace]

what does everyone think abt them

[fluid ravine]

pretty good

sounds better than stock lekkers
less stem wobble for sure

and so far what makes the raptors better is swapping the stem with the lekkers'

so you would have
Raptor's top and bottom housing
Spring (choose your springs)
and lekker stem

[stray tiger]

That too haha. Here is a progress pic. Need to finish cleaning so I can install the new camera and mic arms and audio gear

[polar girder]

Yeah they’re on my porch

Will find out soon lol

Look at that Husky

Nice bro

[stray tiger]

That husky is stuffed full every drawer lol

[heady terrace]

ohhh shit which springs are lighter?

[polar girder]

L45 lightest springs between lekker, ks and raptors I think

[heady terrace]

how long did it take to ship to you?

[polar girder]

3 days

[heady terrace]

holy thats fast

[polar girder]

Left Korea 4th. Arrived today

Midwest USA

[heady terrace]

wtf thats crazy fast

[fluid ravine]

@polar girder how much was it again

making food so aint googling shi

[polar girder]

$58 incl ship

$33 before ship

[heady terrace]

oh wow lOL

international shippign is alot

[polar girder]

Yeah someone keeps saying domestic retailers will have them soon

So that might help idk

[heady terrace]

between the new switches that wooting currently has (L45 i believe) are the springs in those lighter than the one previously where you could buy just a pack of springs?

[polar girder]

Idk

Soz

[heady terrace]

bc i currently have those in my lekkers before lekkers all got switched to l45

[devout torrent]

Yo @fluid ravine you there

How’d you gummy oring mount the stock case

I can’t get it to go in

[polar girder]

I might try to gummy oring mount my tofu tonight

[fluid ravine]

gimme a few

[harsh dove]

Really like your office, some warmer lights and i be happy

[stray tiger]

Thanks, they are Phillips hue lights so I can make it as warm as you want

[harsh dove]

Also be thinking about getting one of those rolling tool chest for mine. I have one in my garage already

[fluid ravine]

hey if i dont answer mb
eating dinner with fam today
ping me again in lik 30 mins

[devout torrent]

No worries dude take your time

[stray tiger]

I wish I could have went with a wider one and maybe 24" deep instead of 18". Even if I did though I'd just fill that up and then wish I'd went bigger

[harsh dove]

Lmao yeah that’d be me, I usually convince myself by saying something like, “well I’m already spending this much money, might as well get the biggest/best” version of said item lol

[fluid ravine]

Ok im back

Are you using plate foam?

[devout torrent]

yeah I have the poroin foam not the silicone

I ended up just burger mounting it for now

feel like if I get it in it wont come out easy

and im getting alumaze soon

[frank lark]

I cut off the corner parts of my plate foam so I could get the o ring in

[polar girder]

recording 2 =3 l45's in redux stock wooting vs 3 raptor switch in redux stock

trying out the stock raptors in WASD while i game for a bit

[fluid ravine]

huge

[quiet bay]

ughgh I want to try out raptors but it'd be a waste of money

[polar girder]

Fair bit dimmer but doesn’t sabotage the colors

Maybe something that doesn’t usually have red in it might be more effected

[noble vine]

i did tape mod burger mount, and lubed switches and stabs are there any other small things like that i could do? i don't want to case or pcb swap or anything like that

[quiet bay]

Switch tape mod

most time consuming one

[noble vine]

i haven't heard of that

[quiet bay]

#1166204178759176283 message explanation

[devout torrent]

its crazy how much better raptors sound

[fluid ravine]

fr

alr gn yall

on eweek and one more day

hooyah

[devout torrent]

until break?

also btw ty for the help earlier

[quiet bay]

I might try it when it comes out on divinikey

[misty saddle]

Thoughts on throwing cerakeys on my wooting 2 HE?

[fluid ravine]

Yep
And no problemo

[devout torrent]

Yes sounds good

[onyx pier]

honestly the raptors without the cerakeys make it sounds clacky

[polar girder]

Oh the l45 stem isn’t symmetrical

stock l45 vs stock raptor vs "stock" raptor housing/l45 stem/spring

has potential

looking forward to the lube and install this weekend

[polar girder]

stock l45 vs lubed raptor/45

[polar girder]

yeah i agree. the raptors are cool but the HE market is just heating up

maybe the end up being the best but in a year we'll surely have a plethora of other options

the l45's are definitely noticeably lighter and freer than the raptor/45's

[glacial wind]

Yeah you getting that feeling tight press right?

[polar girder]

yeah it's gonna be a toss up if i end up keeping the l45's in WASD lol

but the rapto/45's are definitely the tightest and soundest switch by far

the l45's just feel like they floating in thin air

where as the raptors you can tell you're sliding in a channel

the lubed raptor/45 def feels smoother/less restricted than the stock raptor/45

yeah I can see why you might just keep stock raptors as WASD lol

i'm gonna have to play around with it

damn the raptor/45's on the stab switches tho. sheeeeesh

my space bar stab must be jacked

[glacial wind]

Yeah I didn’t like the franken switch on the stab keys at all

Just made them feel like I had key warping or something with the added friction

[lilac grove]

letts see when i buy the clear raptors mby i will try to break the corners from the stem so there is less friction

[untold wigeon]

hey when u get a chance can you please tell me where you got the monitor arm

ive been looting for a stackable one like that for a while

[untold wigeon]

you can email them for submissions if youd like

im waiting for my silver one to come in soon

ill see if its any good

[weak inlet]

today i pulled the trigger going to do only tape mod and nothing else but i am coming from hyperx alloy 60 so the improvement is going to be insane

[quiet bay]

wth that's actually so cool of them to do that

Also after a whole month of courier hell…..THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!!! @fluid ravine

Sound comparison between my 60he rn vs uwu

not bad for stock uwu

[stray otter]

Thanks you USPS I have no idea if I'm ever getting my O-rings since they're unfathomably incompetent and lazy. The sooner the government completely defund their archaic ''service" the better.

[devout torrent]

yeah fedex and ups have never lost/damaged/stolen a package ever

[stray otter]

Oh but their drivers are lazy pieces of shit. I've had both companies straight up decide they weren't going to deliver packages or leave them outside to be stolen.

[quiet bay]

Im still mad that they misdelivered my UwU but atleast I got it eventually by Veho..of all companies

[spice herald]

that’s so crazy… I literally ordered after you did and got it within like two days… They’re so unbelievably hit or miss it’s ridiculous

[quiet bay]

beautiful insides

[spice herald]

nice pp 💀💀

[quiet bay]

sadly will have to cover up the 727 with switch pads

[spice herald]

a necessary evil

[stray otter]

Oh yeah the company was super fast with the shipping. It's the dogshit USPS.

Fuckin trash

[spice herald]

I haven’t had many issues with USPS over the years surprisingly - I guess I’m just lucky as hell

[quiet bay]

@fluid ravine btw switch pads aren't actually that sticky pretty sure you can just take it off without damaging it

[spice herald]

I’ve heard a ton of horror stories about them - I feel like fedex has been the worst courier for me in terms of actually getting packages

[quiet bay]

lmao Veho is among the worst

they provide you with like no updates at all

[spice herald]

that’s spooky - literally all people want is updates on their packages

and realistic delivery dates

[quiet bay]

this was literally all I had

Received order info, arrived at facility, out for delivery

and then it didn't deliver and was stuck on november 30th

contacted support

received it today

[spice herald]

Holyyyy

yeah that’s nuts

[onyx pier]

What material would be good for switch pads

[quiet bay]

I use poron

for a deeper sound

[cyan adder]

can u link the one that u use

im thinking about replacing the thock films / switches pads i got from keebmat since they are really a mess to install / doesnt make any big change in sound

[quiet bay]

https://divinikey.com/products/kbdfans-switch-pads?_pos=1&_sid=071bba544&_ss=r I used these ones

[cyan adder]

tyy

seems like kbdfans sells the same on their aliexpress store yay !

[stray tiger]

Damn i was going to open mine with you but you beat me to it

[quiet bay]

I was too hype

couldn't wait any longer

[coral lynx]

Where did you buy that background art paint?

[stray tiger]

A friend of mine painted it about 10yrs ago

[coral lynx]

very nice 🙂

[stray tiger]

Better pic

[polar girder]

Yo where’s that tenz gummy mount tutorial lol

Damn stacked my new iPhone screen

[coral lynx]

you have a very good taste of art 🙂 and thank you for showing a lovely pic

[polar girder]

Literally day after opt-in to Apple Care expired too

Whoops lol

[marble shuttle]

❤️

[polar girder]

Nvm lol

[spice herald]

My raptors are out for delivery 🫨🫨🫨

[marble shuttle]

yeeeey my raptors dont come turkey

🤣

[polar girder]

Man gummy o-ring mount really puts some pressure on the corner switches, eh

[spice herald]

I don’t notice any additional pressure on mine from it - do you have the alumaze?

[polar girder]

No redux

When I took the corner switches out the o-ring had pushed the plate foam in quite a bit

[unborn cargo]

How tf do I pull the stabs and wore out?? I'm trying but it doesn't come out and I don't wanna break it

Oh wait

I'm dumb sorry

[bronze grove]

Gotta push in the little lever, then you leverage them out at an angle.

[unborn cargo]

Yea but I still had the switch in 🤣

[bronze grove]

That'll do it 😄

[spice herald]

I didn’t think about that happening but it doesn’t surprise me - I noticed it was putting pressure on the foam when I was putting mine in too but there’s not really any way I can possibly think to avoid that… I however dont know how I’ll ever go back to regular tray mounting after realizing how nice and soft the typing feel is

[unborn cargo]

I'm trying to put the wire in the stabs but it keeps just coming out easily and it's so annoying I'm trying to put it back but just keeps slipping out

[quiet bay]

im loving the wooting uwu

made me better at osu

[heady terrace]

@polar girder how are the raptors?

[stray otter]

https://tenor.com/view/clever-girl-jurassic-park-gif-18793569

Lethal

[elder hollow]

holy shit my 60he sounds good now since i added half of the wooting foam on top of the tofu redux foam

also did a bit better job lubing than my first time around and added shit tons of grease to the stabilizers

[spice herald]

Unfortunately the nicely lubed sound doesn’t stay for too long with these switches… I just about drowned mine two weeks ago and they’re already like they sounded before from decent-heavy use

[agile grove]

im debating whether or not to get the raptors but honestly I think im just going to wait until even better switches come out, plus im coming from a razer huntsman, sound really doesnt matter all that much to me.

[elder hollow]

Shame! I got kinda hyped lol

I had drowned my L60s like a year ago so I guess I just got used to the sound

Now just switched to L45s

[sand oasis]

You have the small or big bit of the wooting foam?

[agile grove]

I've heard the lekkers are much better factory lubed now

[sand oasis]

Haven’t tried both

[agile grove]

pretty sure the top piece is the only piece that fits

[elder hollow]

Yeah I took the top piece

[sand oasis]

I’ll give it a try see if it makes a siffeeence

[elder hollow]

Definitely makes a difference

I also added the brass bar so maybe that did something too

But it sounds really good now

[agile grove]

I've heard the brass plate really doesnt make that much of a difference in sound

[sand oasis]

I got the brass and the wooting foam atm

[elder hollow]

Fair enough

[sand oasis]

But I’ll see if I can fit both when I’m home from work

[agile grove]

both what?

[weary tree]

foams

[sand oasis]

Wooting foam and redux foam

[agile grove]

oh gotcha

[weary tree]

brass adds wieght to case

[elder hollow]

Might be a tight fit, it was already tight with only half of it

I kinda prefer how the L45s feel

[weary tree]

polyfill is a good option too if you wan to try out

[elder hollow]

maybe sometime!

[sand oasis]

How tight was yours if you managed to fit it

[elder hollow]

had to push it down a bit to properly fit the pcb

[agile grove]

also forces you to do tapemod

[polar girder]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

They’re nice

[sand oasis]

I’ll see what I can do ty Ty

[polar girder]

L45’s feel so nice NGL

that light spring and the way the stems just float

[heady terrace]

compared to the raptors?

[polar girder]

It’s just different

Like the raptors are so much more sound

And like sturdy and just smooth

Typer experience superior 💯

But like for gaming

And analog type shit or just WASD

It’s like the l45 stem is floating on top of the spring

It just moves so freely

[heady terrace]

oooooo i see

[polar girder]

Where the raptors are like sliding up and down

[heady terrace]

i saw u said the frankenswitch was too tight?

[polar girder]

So much less other noise

Naw not too tight

I didn’t say that

[heady terrace]

oh woops

[polar girder]

I’m gonna stem swap and lube them all I think

I’m honestly not sure what I’ll do for WASD tho

[heady terrace]

i might just frankenswitch my l50s

and use the springs from my l50s

[polar girder]

Yeah I wanted to play around more with mixing around the pieces

But raptors are nice

I’m excited for the future of HE switches tho

I wouldn’t recommend people rush out and buy the raptors

Unless they despise their lekkers lol

But otherwise, just wait a year and you’ll probably have a dozen other options to choose from

[heady terrace]

i hate my lekker

i’m curious abt what everyone thinks abt ks20s vs raptors

[polar girder]

I mean the raptors fix all the raspy, plasticky clackiness about the lekkers

Lekkers and KS are both same mold gateron switchea

[glacial wind]

no contest really. Raptors are straight up better. That said it's not a performance gain but just a sound/feel gain so how much that matters depends on the person

like if you just use your wooting for gaming and don't care about the plasticky feel/sound then nothing wrong with lekkers

[lilac grove]

im looking into buying a cheap case for the wooting 60he made of metal any good suggestions

[weary tree]

cheap is subjective

[sand oasis]

Better to give your budget

[agile grove]

just stick with the stock case, you certainly arent going to find "cheap"

however if you really need to find a case just try searching google for it

[frosty sentinel]

Who’s the thockiest wooting???

[agile grove]

probably raptors with lekker stems, moleskin, polyfill, and cerakeys. anyone else have anything im missing?

oh and alumaze case (or any other metal case tbh), PC plate, poron foam.

[cyan adder]

plastic case are bettter for thock

but yeah, usually people are going to metal/aluminium because of the premium feeling / looking / weight

[polar girder]

https://youtu.be/MO2Ar_tYutM?si=bZHzm5-7KTUs9wv1

Why did I never know about this

[quiet bay]

U can just bag lube them

[polar girder]

Bag lubing just seems so sub optimal to me

[quiet bay]

Tedious to put every single spring on each of those holes

[bronze grove]

Or just brush each one.

[polar girder]

Yeah I just bagged them

They seem fine lol

First time lubing some switches

They sound great

[fluid ravine]

I'M FINALLY HOME 😭😭😭😭

[fluid ravine]

THE ONE PIECE IS REALLL

[harsh dove]

Woooo finallyyy

lol

[silver pecan]

yo im tryna take a switch off with a puller but like i swear im gonna break it

its not supposed to be that hard right?

[normal schooner]

post pic of your switch puller

[crimson sky]

perfectly fine

[willow bronze]

my e-white tofu with silver glitter just came now waiting for the pcb to arrive end of january

[loud zephyr]

probably one of his own 3d printed cases that weighs as much as a feather

[devout torrent]

Optimum case coming??

[devout torrent]

What discord is this?

[quiet bay]

Clean case but too rounded for my taste

[devout torrent]

Love the rounding

Bezels are a bit thick but it looks great

[marsh saffron]

500+$ exclusive optimum tech case incoming

[devout torrent]

Need it

[silver pecan]

bro the screws on the pcb dont come out

on the back of the pcb

literally impossible

[heady terrace]

why are other HE boards like from keychron not as good as wooting?

[silver pecan]

how do i get them out

[harsh dove]

Damn really? I’ve used 2-3 different sets of Corsair ddr5 ram on x670e boards and have had zero issues

I actually had more issues with Corsair ddr4 ram on z690 boards

And if you’ve been only working there the last 6 months, I’m not at all surprised that ASUS is the most you see , primarily motherboards I’d assume, as 6 months ago, the 7800X3D chips were blowing up in ASUS X670E mobos , few others as well but primarily ASUS.

Another reason you’ll see more ASUS than other brands is because that’s what a lot of people buy.

[shell crown]

Anyone has a 60HE case they don't use I wanna buy it pls I wanna do custom paintjob (EU pls)

[untold wigeon]

ehh its not solely am5 motherboards, just their products In general whether it's peripherals or parts, the issues we get for ram are corsaires vengeance ram at anything 6000mhz and above. Seems like everyone has problems with consistency/not being able to post and return them

[spice herald]

DHL really just holds packages for zero reason huh

second time my raptors are being held even though they were supposed to be delivered today 🤧

[silver pecan]

do i need to take the back of the pcb off to be able to lube the stabilizers?

[upper rose]

anodized silver tofu redux with drop x mito keysterine smoke keycaps...debating getting lubed switches and the PC plate to take this to the next level!

[untold wigeon]

how long do the raptors take to deliver etc?

[lean ice]

What brand key caps with letters on the side like here? And be suitable for the wooting 60 module

[loud zephyr]

no you don't, there's a small clip you push in to release the stabs

[devout torrent]

They’re from Asus so I don’t think you can get them they come on the bord

You can find similar though

[lean ice]

Yeah I was asking for a brand of similar ones

[silver pecan]

just lubed my spacebar
when i put the keycap on it, its like stuck..
does that mean i broke the stabilizers?

[quiet bay]

Might've put it in wrong

or the stem in wrong on the stabs

[silver pecan]

I’m pretty sure it’s in right

[quiet bay]

test if both stems lift up

[silver pecan]

Nah one of doesnt

How do I know which way to put it on

[quiet bay]

look at the bottom and see if the stem matches up with the housing

[finite gate]

yes there is plenty of stuff

cut up a t shirt, stuff into case. take stuff out of your pillow, stuff into case. Cut up a doll, stuff it into case.

[unborn cargo]

maybe ill cut my skin and stuff it also in the case but will it fit in

[silver pecan]

Does this look right @quiet bay

[quiet bay]

Yeah the stabs are placed in right

[silver pecan]

But when I place a space bar

It feels weird

It’s like not going as high as it should

[willow bronze]

the right onw looks under

one*

[quiet bay]

you most likely put the stem in wrong

[silver pecan]

Is this how the back should look

[devout torrent]

Just look for side printed keycaps there are lots of them

[silver pecan]

Bro I’m so confused man

It’s literally impossible to tell

There’s no vids

[willow bronze]

isn't that just a standard plate mount stab

did u put the legs in the stem

screenshotted a random video

[silver pecan]

Bro idk how the stem works

[willow bronze]

there's 2 holes, put in the bottom one

[silver pecan]

How am I supposed to know how it goes in

The one with two holes goes on the bottom?

[willow bronze]

there's a side with 1 hole, a side with 2 holes, put your legs in the bottom hole of the side with 2 holes

[silver pecan]

Nope doesn’t work

[willow bronze]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_1_5oBVMqo

skip to 2:45

and ignore the cutting the leg part

or you can just skip to 8:00

[polar girder]

3 days from Korea to Midwest, USA for me

[silver pecan]

Bro

I’m trying

To do this

There’s a stabilizer

With a stem with it

I’m trying to put the stem on it

I want to know

Which way the stem goes on

[fluid ravine]

sup bro

[silver pecan]

Nvm bro just not gonna use this shit tbh

[loud zephyr]

pull out one of the smaller ones and copy that

[fluid ravine]

lmao

[fluid ravine]

you need it

lmfao

[silver pecan]

Bro idk how it ducking works

There’s literally no video that helps with my specific case

[fluid ravine]

whats your problem

im modding my stabs atm

what you need

[silver pecan]

The stem on the left

I wanna know how to place it in the one on the right

It goes under it right

But in which way

@fluid ravine

[fluid ravine]

2 holes on the wire clip side

The one hole/ramp should be facing the clips

[silver pecan]

So like this

[fluid ravine]

I can't really tell from feets

[silver pecan]

Does the wire go in like that

[fluid ravine]

You gotta give me more pics to know how the stem position

wire should be going into the big hole when you look at 2 of the holes

[silver pecan]

Bro

[fluid ravine]

so the one next to the feets or with the walls

[silver pecan]

Are the two holes on the bottom

The stem

There are two holes

[fluid ravine]

one side has 2 holes while the other side has one

[silver pecan]

Yes

[fluid ravine]

the one with one is like a ramp

[silver pecan]

Which one goes on the bottom

[fluid ravine]

bottom?

what bottom

[silver pecan]

Bro

[fluid ravine]

it should either facing one side of the other

yes bro

[silver pecan]

I’m actually so fucking confused

[fluid ravine]

bro

bro

[silver pecan]

The stem

[fluid ravine]

look bro

[silver pecan]

The tiny thing

[fluid ravine]

look at your housing

[willow bronze]

the hole with 2 open ways

there's only 1

[fluid ravine]

see how one side has a clip while the other is a wire clip?

yes or no
do you identify which side is which on the housing

[silver pecan]

Okay look, there is a fuckin like switch looking stem. I wanna know how to put that shit inside of the big ducking thing that the wire connects to

[fluid ravine]

answer the fkin question

[loud zephyr]

the master himself

https://youtu.be/WN_-GYLTfpY?t=641

[fluid ravine]

lmao

[silver pecan]

No that vid is so bad lol

It doesn’t show it

[loud zephyr]

yes it does

[fluid ravine]

it does

💀

[silver pecan]

Lmk when then

Because I just watched it

Like 3 times

[fluid ravine]

@loud zephyr you do it

[silver pecan]

He’s so far from the camera it’s impossible to tell

[devout torrent]

GPBT spotted

[fluid ravine]

stay away

[devout torrent]

I have some already

[fluid ravine]

[devout torrent]

But the rain forest color

[fluid ravine]

oh

bet

[devout torrent]

$25 not bad

[fluid ravine]

i got it for 40

wtf

i lied

50

[quiet bay]

looks like stem put in wrong

it has to match with the housing

[devout torrent]

Rip

[loud zephyr]

the video is already timestamped and I also suggested to copy one of the smaller stabs, so

[willow bronze]

wooting stabs come preclipped, there's legit no way u can put them wrong side

[fluid ravine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usNx1_d0HbQ @silver pecan 5:10 bro

[willow bronze]

u can see the step

[fluid ravine]

7:40 wire assembly

[silver pecan]

These two things came off

LMAO

[harsh dove]

Uhm

[devout torrent]

Bro how

[willow bronze]

[fluid ravine]

g

fucking

g

[harsh dove]

Welp

Ima go back to my games

[fluid ravine]

i really dont understand how you could fk this up

same

[harsh dove]

I was gonna make a video showing him how to do it but

[fluid ravine]

ima go back to tuning

[harsh dove]

Nevermind

[silver pecan]

Bro

[dapper vault]

Has anybody modded the two he

[silver pecan]

U guys are fucking trippin

The video is dogshit for this

They’re different stabs

I asked one thing 100 time

S

I said which way does the stem go in

No one answered

[sturdy slate]

😬

[fluid ravine]

dawg we fkin did lmao
all stabs goes in the same way
the one from the video is just screw in stab but still goes in the same as every other stab

[silver pecan]

Bro there’s two parts of the stab

There’s the little stem

[fluid ravine]

housing

and stem

we already address that

and a wire

[spice herald]

there are hundreds of videos on lubing stabilizers what are you talking about… If you have access to discord you have access to youtube… massive user error

[silver pecan]

Is it impossible to put the wire in now

Cause of that thing that came off

[willow bronze]

i gave u a video with the same plate mount stab u have

[fluid ravine]

well buya new one ig

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[silver pecan]

Like a stabilizer kit?

[fluid ravine]

yes

[spice herald]

If you bent the wire then you’re better off getting a new set

[silver pecan]

I didn’t bend the wire

Do u know any good sets

[fluid ravine]

but you broke a stem so might as well do it

[silver pecan]

Like the best one

Yeah I am

I’m not tryna use these shitty arabs

Stabs*

[fluid ravine]

dude they aint shit 💀

[spice herald]

each housing on the stems has two pieces - so if the housing came apart in two pieces that’s the way it’s supposed to be

[fluid ravine]

brain not functioning correctly

[silver pecan]

Bro the thing came off with barely any pressure

[fluid ravine]

TX AP stabilizers

[harsh dove]

@silver pecan

[silver pecan]

Lemme guess bro ur ascendant

[harsh dove]

Line these corners up

That’s a pic of the stock stabs

From wooting60he

[silver pecan]

Thanks

[harsh dove]

Yep

[silver pecan]

Are these good?

[fluid ravine]

did holeemod with medical tape

[willow bronze]

no

[fluid ravine]

you need plate mount

[willow bronze]

wont work these are screw in

[fluid ravine]

those only work in module+

[silver pecan]

There’s like none on Amazon

[fluid ravine]

then go on other website

there should be anyways

[sturdy slate]

Make sure the right one has two holes facing you and the left one has one hole facing you

[fluid ravine]

i dont remember what brand or whatever but there are plate mount stabs in amazon

[silver pecan]

Yeah that’s like all I was asking

Thanks

[fluid ravine]

yep

those work

[willow bronze]

he's from canada

[spice herald]

these are what I’m using and they sound good as hell

[fluid ravine]

?

who

[willow bronze]

matez

its amazon,ca

[fluid ravine]

oh

[willow bronze]

rndkbd has platemount stabs in stock

[silver pecan]

Any suggestions for stabilizers, I need fast shipping

[harsh dove]

https://mekibo.com/products/tx-ap-stabilizers-plate-mount @silver pecan

Check here maybe

[silver pecan]

Like there are sites that have some but their shipping takes like 12 months

[fluid ravine]

12 months is crazy 💀

[loud zephyr]

better than 13 months

[fluid ravine]

lmao

[harsh dove]

Fax

[fluid ravine]

fax

[silver pecan]

Nah but fr tho

[willow bronze]

groupbuy stabs?

[fluid ravine]

fr

[willow bronze]

rndkbd is 3-5 days, a week most

but u pay for shipping

[harsh dove]

Did the site I send have good shipping for you or no?

[silver pecan]

boutta check

for kit

what is 2U?

[willow bronze]

i just looked at amazon for canadians there's legit durock plate mount stabs

[harsh dove]

2u is for smaller stabs

You want a base kit

[silver pecan]

those? @willow bronze

[fluid ravine]

60

[willow bronze]

yes, but u chose a tkl kit

[fluid ravine]

/87

[willow bronze]

wooting is 60

[silver pecan]

60 or 87?

[harsh dove]

Get the Black 60/87

[willow bronze]

it doesn't matter u only want the housing and stem

[silver pecan]

nah im down to get new stabs

those lowkey sound weird, my spacebar was like reallly rattly

that was after i lubed a switch too

[sturdy slate]

Are everglide panda v3s any good

[fluid ravine]

you need to lube housing and stems
and grease the wires

[silver pecan]

okay i got the 60/87 ones

[willow bronze]

did u get the kit with 6.25u spacebar though

[willow bronze]

nvm it comes with both 6.25 and 7u

[tardy cove]

So idk how much people have worked with raptor switches. But the best feeling I could get was with raptor housing and Lekker stem and 60g springs. But the weird thing I noticed is the Lekker spring seems to be a tiny bit smaller than the raptor spring. I'm interested to see when wooting releases their different weight springs if they will be the same size as the raptors or the lekkers

[silver pecan]

so 2u is full kit?

like full stabilizer kit?>

[willow bronze]

2u is the length of the wire

[silver pecan]

oh and mine is 6.25

[willow bronze]

2u generally used for shift, enter, backspace

6.25u used for spacebar, in your case

[silver pecan]

so i can replace all the stabs wth that set right?

[willow bronze]

you should be able to

[silver pecan]

okay thanks

[willow bronze]

its just a standard 60%

[stray tiger]

I laugh seeing how far some of you have come. You used to be in the same place as maatez is now lol (ok maybe not that far down)

Makes me proud

[willow bronze]

[silver pecan]

what a sneak disss bro that was crazy

lemme get u some cookies n milk

[stray tiger]

I mean your stab is broke so youre pretty far down right now

[silver pecan]

yeah a tiny piece of it broke

ur acting like i smashed it to pieces or smth

it broke so easily

cause its not the best quality

[willow bronze]

I remember spending 4 hours holee modding the og cherry stabs

years ago

[stray tiger]

I dont want to be the one that breaks it to you but the stabs you just ordered from Amazon are the same stabs you just broke.

Which btw, they arent trash

[willow bronze]

[silver pecan]

wooting uses those?

[spice herald]

yeah the plastics are all the same - the stock wooting stabs are actually really nice

[silver pecan]

yeah all good i can still cancel it

[stray tiger]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399

[willow bronze]

u can't get much better than those

[stray tiger]

Q. Do I need to replace or modify the stabilizers and which stabilizers should I buy?

A. The stock stabilizers are great! Most people find them comparable to Durock brand stabilizers in both quality and feel.

[willow bronze]

if u want thighter housing u can try tx stabs

[silver pecan]

then i guess my kb had a defect, cause like the spacebar literally sounded like complete trash

[tardy cove]

Ya I was gonna stay I went to TX stabs and found there were a small improvement. Not a lot granted but they fit the bill for me

[silver pecan]

like the kb im using rn is like $40 and sounds better

why do i have to grease it up and mod the stabs for it to sound normal? wouldnt that mean they arent very good?

[stray tiger]

Its completely possible that your stock stabilizer didnt sound great. Happens all the time.

No, it just means the factory lube job wasnt great

[silver pecan]

makes sense

cause it literally sounded like complete trash

[tardy cove]

I am also excited to see the module when it's out. TX PCB clip ins or stabies have been my favorite stab in new keebs

[stray tiger]

When you get your new stabs, check this video out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxHb6CJc9V8

[silver pecan]

ill watch it rn lmao

[stray tiger]

BTW, buying one of those syringes to apply grease is a legit hack

Can I stream 4k to discord? I need to test this streaming setup in a few

Ive got the first camera setup, waiting on the arm to mount the face down camera though

[harsh dove]

If you have nitro, yes I believe so

[stray tiger]

@harsh dove when your camera is facing you, can you see the low profile mic arm in the frame?

[harsh dove]

No, sir

[stray tiger]

Do you have enough clearance when gaming? I think I'll order the LP version as well and see which I like better

[harsh dove]

This is how I have it so yeah I have enough clearance personally

[stray tiger]

Ahhh I see, under your monitor. Ive got my bottom monitor damn near on the desk so I would have to come at it from the side

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah, okay

[untold wigeon]

I don’t like when peoples screen are far away

[harsh dove]

It’s a .5 lense

It’s not that far actually

[untold wigeon]

What’s a .5

I use iPhone cameras

[stray tiger]

Yeah thats an exaggerated view

[harsh dove]

Wider field of view

[untold wigeon]

Panorama

[stray tiger]

It elongates the focal point. My 15yo daughter takes .5's on her phone for snapchat like daily to make funny long forehead shots and stuff

[harsh dove]

Lmao yeah

Almost like a fish eye effect

[untold wigeon]

Oh

https://tenor.com/view/gimme-my-dishes-give-me-my-dishes-dishes-fisheye-gif-20991774

I do like that portrait style monitor setup on the side. Would make it easier on me trying to mount a straight on and overhead cam with a stacked monitor setup

[untold wigeon]

Boom. Cat

[untold wigeon]

[stray tiger]

@harsh dove yeah when the new arms comes tomorrow I might try the portrait monitor on the side so I don't have to deal with this

[hardy nimbus]

dumb question but what type of screwdriver do i need to remove the screws off. ph0 is not working

[quiet bay]

I think u can also use a flathead screwdriver

[hardy nimbus]

idk these screws are on so tight

[quiet bay]

Ur turning them the right way?

[hardy nimbus]

yeah clockwise right

[quiet bay]

Counter clockwise

[hardy nimbus]

im braindead. thanks tho

[hybrid bough]

i have a questrion
what if i dont screw all the screws for the wooting module
will it affect the performance of the wooting?
for some reason ever since upgrading cases to the redux the screw near the spacebar just wont screw in
its been doing my head in that i might just leave it

[quiet bay]

Nah it’s cool we all make those small mistakes

[quiet bay]

Did you put the gold piece in?

[hybrid bough]

yup

[quiet bay]

Weird

[hybrid bough]

brass thingy

[quiet bay]

Oh

not the brass weight

I mean the standoffs

[hybrid bough]

ohh nope

[quiet bay]

Yeah u need that to put the screw in

[hybrid bough]

alr

[quiet bay]

But u dont actually need the middle screws anyways

[hybrid bough]

only for that scerew?

cus for all the other ones it fitsa

[quiet bay]

There are two gold standoffs in the middle of the tofu redux I believe

they’re optional

I personally only used the side screws

[hybrid bough]

what do the standoffs do?

[quiet bay]

It gives the screws a place to screw into

Without it you’re just screwing it into air

[hybrid bough]

oh how come i could screw the sides in when i didnt put them in?

[quiet bay]

Because they already have places for it to screw into

[hybrid bough]

oh so whuch places need them?

only the one next to the spacebar?

[quiet bay]

The screws in the middle are optional

U need the screws on the sides though

[hybrid bough]

wait but u said standoffs give the screws a place to screw into but the sides i could already screw them in without?

so why would the sides need them then

[quiet bay]

Oh and my mistake there’s only one standoff that comes with tofu redux

which is the one for next to the doaceo

spacebar

[quiet bay]

Because they already have standoffs

[hybrid bough]

ohhh mb i misread that i needed standoffs for the sides

but u said screws

mbmb

[quiet bay]

Its cool

[hybrid bough]

ok thankls so much im gonna start screwing

[quiet bay]

But yeah you can’t screw in the one beside the spacebar because you never put the gold standoff in

Thats why

[hybrid bough]

my hands cant stop shaking when doing so holy shitt

yep i just done it

also i got 3

[quiet bay]

haha that’s natural

my hands are shaky as hell too

[somber drum]

I got a question then if u can answer. whats the point of providing standoffs already for all the ones except for the one near spacebar which you have to do manually

[sand oasis]

probably not every pcb needs the screw there

[weary tree]

you dont NEED the screw there

on any pcb

i like it without to add a bid more flex

[silver pecan]

Does my keyboard sound overlubed?

What’s crazy is I spent like 3-4 hours and I’m just halfway

[cyan adder]

Wtf is actually sound excellent

Thocky

What mod have y done ?

[sweet cedar]

fr it sounds so good

[cyan adder]

Ur keyboard sounds better than mine 😭😭😭

[fervent juniper]

Yo is carbon fiber pcb + raptor switches is good choice?

[pale aspen]

yep

ultimate clack

better clicky razor

[quiet bay]

Damn you must've taken your sweet sweet time

lubing every single crevice with every detail

[spice herald]

my raptors are being delivered Monday - they’ve been out for delivery since yesterday but apparently DHL doesn’t deliver on weekends here… Was really hoping they would get here before the weekend so I could mod them over it but DHL just holds packages for zero reason I guess

massive L

[sand oasis]

At least they ship to your region

[lilac grove]

what else did you do than lubeing

[flat rampart]

Is this on the default case? Its so thoccy

[untold wigeon]

are the raptors clicky or thocky

[onyx pier]

Clacky

[polar girder]

Lolol I got them all lubed yesterday but haven’t put them all back together yet

Ended up preferring the sound/feel of everything fully lubed up

Went super light later but hit the stem, top and bottom housing. So it took a while

[quiet bay]

I put Kilmat into the w Key

[untold wigeon]

damn is that good or bad

I wanted thock on my keyboard not a mechanical sounding keyboard 😭

[quiet bay]

new modded vs stock

[untold wigeon]

what switches

[silver pecan]

Tapemod, 2 layers, stock foam, aluminum case

[silver pecan]

Wait so u guys like it? I really like it but I thought I might’ve overlubed cause it doesn’t sound like anyone’s

[lilac grove]

what tape did you use sounds pretty good for that mods

[silver pecan]

Yeah it makes a huge difference, I got scotch painters tape, the blue one

Ngl, it made a hugeeee difference, like before when I didn’t have them lined and had tapemodded it, there was barely a difference, but with the lube it’s insane

[lilac grove]

what switch

[silver pecan]

The ones they came with, the leakkers

[lilac grove]

ok pretty good for lekker switches

like it

[silver pecan]

Thanks

Does it usually take hours to lube?

[lilac grove]

y btu depends

[quiet bay]

lekker 45

[lilac grove]

why do you ask? how long did you need

[quiet bay]

yes

[silver pecan]

I mean, I haven’t even finished and I swear half the switches took 4 hours

But maybe that’s cause I’m tryna lube each switch properly

[heady terrace]

raptors still work w rapid trigger and stuff in the software right?

[lilac grove]

y but the most people change the stem to wooting bc of soudn

[sharp yew]

first time? you'll probably get it faster next time

[silver pecan]

Yeah first time
