Damn an l45 switch tape mod UwU would hit

#

I’m like low key kind of thinking a switch taped l45 might be preferred to raptors for WASD

#

The freedom of the l45’s is pretty sweet

#

Feels like the stem is just floating on top of the spring

quiet bay
#

the rightmost key sounds clacky for some reason tho

#

clackier than the rest atleast

#

I want to mix it with raptor he ;-;

stray otter
#

From what I can tell the Blade 60 really doesn't like the O ring option. Short of hammering it in it doesn't fit.

stray otter
#

Meh

fluid ravine
#

whats wrong with it

stray otter
#

I got it.

fluid ravine
#

oh

#

👍

#

i cant hear my backspace dogekek

stray otter
#

The ring itself is a bit loose/slack so it doesn't nestle inbetween so it takes come doing to get it in safely.

stray otter
#

I don't remember. Lemme check. It was the Graveshift medium that someone recommended, but I don't know the specific dimensions.

#

kinda weird how you said it was a bit loose

#

so i was curious

#

40a shouldnt be that loose but nvm ig

stray otter
#

It works so I don't mind.

fluid ravine
#

so-

#

i need help

stray otter
#

I was just a little worried about damaging the port working it in.

fluid ravine
#

this came out havo

stray otter
#

SteelSeries?

fluid ravine
#

yep

stray otter
#

Looks like their headband.

fluid ravine
#

its been more than a year

#

dunno how to keep the cover stick in place

stray otter
#

I think the sound is a bit different. I expected the feel to be the bigger change.

#

Could just be a placebo.

fluid ravine
#

the sound shouldnt be that different
the main effect of the friction mount is to distribute the sound evenly throughout the board

#

feel shouldnt be big at all since its not a gummy mounted board where pcb has cutouts for the post

stray otter
#

Ah. Then that would make sense. Like I said I expect more flex. I like the slight difference.

#

I was looking at from the wrong perspective.

fluid ravine
#

if you want gasket performance you can do what uh Rec0n did
dremel his pcb which they had to sacrifice some traces

stray otter
#

Nope. I'll pass.

fluid ravine
#

or you could be like me where i use certain case foam like polyfill and make sure it fills above the standoff and post and take advantage of friction mount and make it have gasket performance

stray otter
#

I'm not even plugging my Dremel anywhere near this.

fluid ravine
#

lmao

stray otter
#

I actually took the foam out completely.

#

I wanted to see if it sounded better.

fluid ravine

My pet :)

untold wigeon
#

whats wrong with teh sound

crisp jasper
#

can you film he switches ?

fluid ravine
# untold wigeon whats wrong with teh sound

People found switching the lekker stem into raptors gives out more of solid sound
from testing lekker stock have the worst sounding due to chatter
Raptors are much better although they still have that hint of chatter but just a little
But Frankensteining the 2 switches (Raptor's bottom and top housing with lekker stem) seems to make it the best sounding HE switch out of the three. Really solid 👍

fluid ravine
#

save your money 👍

now I want to test films again

fluid ravine

lmao

#

ima test it on my UwU

Use the U's as your testing switch

One U with film
while the other no film

I'll do it to all three

they definitely feel different, but honestly i kinda like how they feel, i guess theyre mushier but i dont think theyre mushy to the point where its like messed up yk

As long as they bounce up straight away after being pressed you are fine

Lubing does affect the feel so I wouldn’t worry about that

static tendon
median spade
#

It does limit the effectiveness but what you're getting instead is slightly softer feel, and then isolation of the plate for sound

Since it's not being screwed into points on a tray

I really want to try the Raptors. I think it's the last mod I'd consider that wasn't destructive.

#

This is me right now after finding your video Deadge

#

Wish a black one was available, but it is what it is

pale aspen

only sliver in stock now

#

no more blac will be made

wary pollen
#

Yeah, the black or red Frog has been in high demand cuz they haven't been available in any of the recent drops

Powder coating usually isn't terrible.

#

Just throwing it out there as an option if you want to look into it

Gives me a reason to use my other gmk sets that are color

#

I always go boring black so this is fine

spice herald
#

I feel like the raptors do need to be handlubed 🫠

#

time to get to work ig

median spade
#

At least the lubing process on HE takes like 1/2 the time

#

i did my l60 in like an hour

spice herald
#

Yeah you’re not wrong

#

I’m going to stem swap and possibly film too

median spade
#

Oh for the weaker magnet?

wary pollen
#

I recommend 3203 if you want a sound improvement without it feeling too buttery

spice herald
#

Yep

median spade
#

is there issues with the stronger magnet in the raptor and wooting?

spice herald
wary pollen
#

PC films are a nightmare on HE switches

coral lynx
median spade
#

thought the housing shape didn't allow for standard mx films

spice herald
median spade
#

or are you using deskeys just because it's foam essentially and will fill up the space/stretch?

spice herald
#

I found the poron films almost impossible to keep where the should be in the switch when closing

wary pollen
median spade
#

Nix do you have plate type you've found you like best yet? Was thinking of going alu or pc

wary pollen
#

I would recommend alu

#

nice middle ground to start off with

#

not too anything in particular in terms of pitch and volume

median spade
#

Yeah i usually do mx blacks on alu for all my boards so was just going to go alu, but lekkers/raptors aren't exactly mx blacks KEKW

#

oh that psd sounds a lot better than i was expecting

wary pollen
#

I'd say Raptor are closer to mix of Jwick blacks and Gat Yellows in terms of characteristics

Looks like I might need to dust off my frog mini again soon

where did you get the alu plate cut?

I have done sendcutsend in the past for alu stuff

wary pollen

local maker here in the Philippines

stray tiger
#

sendcutsend is who I used for most of my alum plates

wary pollen
#

Note: This is the standard version I used on the POM plate. Didn't send the experimental one for CF cuz I found some issues with it when used for Alu

median spade
#

My man

#

I was just curious if laser is fine for the standoff holes

#

instead of having the sunk in that cnc can only do

stray tiger
#

Yes its fine

wary pollen
#

yeah, it's fine, you can just use a standard m2 screw instyead of the countersunk stuff from KBDfans

stray tiger
#

Countersink is nice but if you use the kbdfans standoff kit it works fine

median spade
#

cool, i do have the standoff kit as my wooting is in a tofu redux rn with the fr4 plate

#

but all it did was make me want to go the frog route more dead

#

I just asked you guys that question like a dumbass not realizing my fr4 plate doens't have sunk holes

wary pollen
#

I just finished rebuilding into the PSD60 and i'm already missing the feel of Tadpole mount and the overall dimensions of the Frog KEKW

stray tiger
#

I had an aluminum plate made for my frog mini back in the day when Nix did his and it never really clicked for me. I might give it a go again but I need to get another plate made, i think I only have one that I 3d printed as I sold the aluminum one

median spade
#

That sound test of yours has me debating a psd60 now but the weight, looks, and front height of the frog call to me

wary pollen
stray tiger
#

I think I have a few different sets of tadpoles. let me check

wary pollen
#

I'm debating on getting 90a to get as close I can to top mount

#

oh, and sidenote: The gaskets in my PSD 60 are EVA cuz I prefer it over the trampoline effect with Poron

#

made it a bit louder too cuz the mounting is stiffer

median spade
#

can you also share the psd60 file? Got me hardcore debating over here haha

Yeah dont think I can, going to just hop into a discord direct stream

spark prism
#

if anyone is on the fence, I can confirm the frankenswitch mod between lekker and Raptor HE is worth it imo. Makes the board sound way better and I don't have any issues with performance either. Only downside to me is the RGB tint for those that use RGB. Otherwise the sound is night and day.

# stray tiger Frog mini

Regarding this frog mini case, was it initially designed as a gasket mount and compatible with standard 60% PCBs? For some reason I thought gasket mounts required a custom PCB layout. I didn't realize you can just pop in a 60HE into there and have it become functional. That's actually really cool

which tx stabs did badseed use on the new module

#

Screw in?

spice herald
#

I think you can only use screw ins on the new module

weary tree
#

no

#

its normal pcb mount stabs so you can use clip ins too

#

and the plate still support plate mounts

so you can use anything you want

saw bad seed recommend clip ins if youre gummy oring mounting it

spice herald
#

The regular wooting 60 is plate mount... The new module I am almost 100% sure is screw in only

nope

sullen salmon
#

its still not going to sound perfect but itll get you fairly close

#

i also did burger mount but doing it with tape mod is a pain in the ass and barely noticeable to just plain tape mod imo

sweet cedar
#

do the bandaid?

sullen salmon
#

not sure about screw in stabs, im referring to the ones that come with the wooting because they are perfectly fine

#

and yeah if you can be bothered do bandaid mod

#

make sure you lube every part of the inside of the switch, its pretty hard to overlube the lekker switches

#

obviously make sure you test each switch afterwards to see if its too lubed or not

fluid ravine
fluid ravine
sweet cedar
#

which comes with screw in stabs not clip in

sullen salmon
#

ah gotcha i got the standard wooting then modded most of it lol

#

anyway yea you can do bandaid with them, im referring to a different mod where you just add a bit of bandaid as "padding" where the stabs rest on the pcb

#

rather than the actual bandaid insert of the stabs

what have u done to urs?

polar girder
#

fits stock case and tofu redux perfectly

sage flicker
#

k cool, i was just thinking it's a little bit tall/deep. Think I can cut it though

polar girder
#

What case you have?

#

It legit lines up prefect with my redux

sage flicker
#

lekker ofc lol

#

i know it lines up perfectly, but it's thick, from edge of desk to keyboard imo

#

slimmer for me would be good.

#

also, as reviews were saying, no anchor/magnetism to keyboard.

zealous delta
#

is there anyone that knows quality keycaps that matches the black and yellow of the strap please ?

dense flower
#

How long does lubing on the 60he take if you were to bag lube the springs and just do the stems and bottom housings of the switches?

bronze grove
#

Couple of hours or more. Depends on how fast you are.

#

Alright. Thank you

Just finished lubing the switches and springs for the first time. Definitely worth the 3 hours I spent doing it. Buttery smooth and sounds much better

I never want to lube switches again for another 12 month, it such a pain. And I'm definitely going back to container lubing springs, so much faster

anyone who changed their lekker to gateron ks20 switches?

spice herald
coral forge
#

im planning to buy them. they have 2 colors with 2 diff specs, 1 had 15mm springs with slightly lower actuation force (white), the other one had like 20 mm spring (orange). prolly gonna end up on the white one since it wont mess with the rgb lighting

spice herald
#

I mean if you’re doing it for the springs actuation then that makes sense but they won’t sound any different if you care about that

polar girder
#

Yeah I don’t see the point of the ks unless you care about spring weight or housing color

#

Seems like identical to lekker

Finally moved, been on label created since the 26th

unkempt crystal
#

Can I lube the stabilisers just as I did with normal switches using krytox

bronze grove
#

Stabilizers typically use thicker lube.

#

Cause it uh... it can leak pretty easily.

unkempt crystal
#

If I don’t have it can i do it and it will work decently or do u recommend not to do it at all

bronze grove
#

Just a waste of time imo. Unlike with switches, you're lubing parts that aren't contained with stabs.

#

Krytox would probably just run off and seep down into the PCB and case cause it's so runny.

next swift
#

I got my alumaze 60 and noticed theres silicon washers included. Where are these supposed to go?

bronze grove
#

Get your PCB, flip it over.

next swift
#

Gotcha

bronze grove
#

Place them over the through holes where the screws go into the case. Two on either end and an optional one near the spacebar, if you're using the brass standoff there and screwing it in.

next swift
#

Wasnt 100% that's where it went and wanted to make sure

#

Oh

It’s kinda boring doing this but it will be worth it. almost halfway done.

if my keycaps have no transparent legends do i turn around the switches

upside down?

agile grove
#

no

#

do the keycaps fit?

unkempt crystal
#

ye

#

just saw it on yt

#

on some big channel

#

that was about wooting moding

marsh saffron
#

As that's the only reason to ever need to consider turning the switches around

spice herald

#

I only seen it get talked about for the rgb, didn't think about that

zealous delta
#

is it that worth it to lube the keyboard?

bronze grove
#

Personal preference.

#

If you care about lubing, you'll do it.

agile grove
# zealous delta is it that worth it to lube the keyboard?

depends on if you care or not. I've heard the newer batches of switches are better lubed, but hand lubing them will almost always sound and feel better (if done correctly). if you dont care about those things however, you can just skip them.

zealous delta
agile grove
#

I've also heard that the hand lubed sound and feel sorta wears off after 2 weeks so take that as you will

bronze grove
#

Lubing from manufacturing is very light.

#

As I said - If you care about lubing, you'll do it.

#

If you don't, you'll never know what it would do.

Anyone have a tofu redux, gummy o ring mod and PBT keycaps and PC plate? Curious how it’ll sound.

agile grove

you can also always lube them later if you dont like how they sound and feel

#

Oh I will absolutely spend five hours lubing switches, whether or not it matters. It's a nice, zen destress.

unkempt crystal
#

I wanted to o ring

#

But now it doesn’t fit

#

Is it normal?

#

What to do

bronze grove
#

Did you just grab a random o-ring, or was this one specifically recommended for that case and the 60HE?

harsh dove
#

I’d bet $1 you’re using plate foam

unkempt crystal

Gimme a dollar

zealous delta

#

@unkempt crystal What sound you getting ?

harsh dove
#

Let the plate foam compress for a few minutes then inserting it into the case or remove the plate foam entirely and try insterting

#

@unkempt crystal

unkempt crystal
#

Bro

#

I think

bronze grove
#

Our lube is not a special, secret blend. We sell some of the most popular choices, to provide customers with a choice during checkout. You can absolutely use different lubes 🙂

unkempt crystal
#

The o ring is the problem

#

Not the foam

#

It’s to big i think

harsh dove
#

Which one did you order?

frosty sentinel
#

Did you get the o ring from the modding FAQ?

unkempt crystal
#

I payed 0.07$ off aliexpress

#

Oof

So not a graveshift or bakeneko then

That’s most likely the problem

I’m hoping my graveshaft ring will fit in my tofu case.. we will see

Cuz it seems that the screws aren’t screwing

@agile grovemost of the time china is able to ship to the US next to nothing because of the international postal system and china classifying themselves as a developing nation. US companies pay more to ship items within the same state.

@bronze grove can you check my email please

#

you said you would

#

or please give me a way to directly contact wooting about my broken keyboard. 2 emails in a mont

#

h is completely unacceptable

agile grove

#

too be fair, not getting a response with 2 emails in a month is pretty slow

upbeat minnow
#

yeh my wooting has spent more time sitting broken on my desk than being used since I bought it

stable kindle

why did you throw it on the floor?

upbeat minnow

I'v repeatedly been told to send follow up emails to which I get no reply

stable kindle
#

damn man, whats wrong with it?

upbeat minnow
#

it wont turn on

#

no idea what wrong with it

#

only had it 2 weeks and it broke

so it worked for 2 weeks

upbeat minnow
#

since then I have been waiting a month and recieved 2 replied

stable kindle
#

then out of nowhere it broke?

upbeat minnow
#

Yep first the middle row of rgb wouldnt turn on and then the whole board stopped turning on

stable kindle
#

take a pic/vid of whats going on and post it here

#

take out the keycaps as well

i bet some here will know exactly wwhat is going on

upbeat minnow
#

And honestly I have got better things to do that chase this up every day until I'm deemed worthy of a response

#

I have done all that already

#

@upbeat minnow they have a small team, they dont have a 3rd party indian call center

#

with christmas aroudn the corner and their module out (that i still have yet to receive) i can see the delay

bronze grove
#

And we'll help get it resolved as quickly as possible. But we can't answer every email immediately.

upbeat minnow
#

Yes I can understand that and I have been waiting patiently for the last 10 days but I know other people are being dealt with faster

stable kindle
#

their live videos have stated being more than 2-3 weeks behind in support tickets a month ago

#

@upbeat minnowcan you post a video of another keyboard working in the same usb port?

bronze grove
#

Easy issue, easy and quick resolution.

I've been answering emails all day, as has the entire CS team. Well get to your email asap.

upbeat minnow
#

Earlier when you said to email again I thought you were implying that you would check it like you did last time with the follow up email

how does wooting people deal with broken boards after people mod? seems like a tricky situation, I dont trust people to replace a lightbulb

not saying its your fault youcandoit0240, im just curious bout the process

So clean

#

Lubed case swap keycap swap cable swap

upbeat minnow
#

So I managed to get my wooting to turn on and factory reset in wootility, but now it will work for 30 seconds normally then slowly becomes more unresponsive to the point where it won't input anything that I am typing. Any suggestion on what I can do?

#

I can post a video but its kind hard to show what I am typing and the screen at the same time

stable kindle
# unkempt crystal

cleannn man, thats the look im going for, though ill swap the enter and esc key to white

stable kindle
upbeat minnow
#

I plugged it in with wootility open and it came on

stable kindle
#

but without wootility open it doesnt turn on?

upbeat minnow
#

It is turning on now

#

But it will only work normally for a minute or so

#

Then will start missing my inputs till it become almost completely unresponsive

#

Each time I turn it on it works for a short amount of time

#

I am running the default profile after factory reset

stable kindle
#

have you tried reseting the keyboard to factory settings using wootility ?

upbeat minnow
#

Yes just did that

stable kindle
#

have you tried using a different usb cable?

upbeat minnow
#

Yep

stable kindle
#

in another usb slot?

upbeat minnow
#

Let me try but I dont think its the cable as my other keyboard is working perfectly

#

I have tried wooting cable and a different one

stable kindle
#

all the rbg works though for that short amount* of time?

upbeat minnow
#

I am using the wooting now

#

lets see how long I can type to you

stable kindle
#

what about the rbg though? you said the first row went out first before the whole keyboard died

upbeat minnow
#

The wooting stays on as does the rbg but I can't type anything as it becomes unresponsive to my inputs

#

but the middle row of rbg is still not working

harsh dove
#

And wooting is a small company

#

So I’m not surprised tbh
