i mean i think you should lube the bottom housing personally
i havent tried them but i do think they aare alreasdy great so you dont need to
I’d probably lube the bottom and top housings personally but up to you
I get mine in tomorrow
has anyone done a tape mod and realized a difference on a aluminum case?
got any recs on which tape to use?
Masking Tape and Painter's Tape is very common so you can start with that
I use a mix of masking tape and moleskin tape
moleskin tape gives a very deep sound because of its material and thickness
did you make two layers of tape, one of each?
2 layers of masking tape, 1 layer of moleskin tape
im assuming you would place the masking tape first onto the pcb and moleskin on the top of the layers
yes
I’m new to keyboard modding and not sure what kind of case to buy for my wooting. Does anyone have recommendations ?
My best option now is tofu 60 redux
id stick with that if i were u
at least fora while
its a great option
if your looking into kb modding is rlly dont think cases should be where most your time is spent 😭 (after yk the sound signature of each material)
whyd you opt of that instead of 1 layer masking 2 layers moleskin?
because I like that configuration better
it is all down to preference
sounds too deep with 2 in ur opinion?
yes
have a vid of the difference?
no
So for more deep just do 2 layers each?
Or can I just do all moleskin tape
Thank youuu I’ll buy the tofu 60 redux
yh wym each tho
not recommended by pochizo cuz the bottom if the tape is like sticky or smth and i dont remember if he said it leaves residue so thats why he puts masking tape below it
I just use 1 layer of Moleskin
nothing else
2 😼
Ima try 2 and 2 cuz seems good
I'm pretty happy with 1 personally, but feel free to try 2
2 & 2??? like 4
Should I not do 4?
pretty sure 4 is too much bc the space u have in the redux case
Just 2 moleskin 1 tape
nvr heard of anyone ever doing 4
Do whatever you want as long as everything is still compatible
yhh, ima do the same
See what you like
no way 4 will fit
Depends on length of your screws and even then you could probably compress the tape enough to screw in, if it were to be too thick
yh but u dont want the usb type c to be like shoved up and maybe damage the port over time
i had my wooting with the cable plugged in in my backpack during travel on accident
Right, which is why I said as long as everything is still compatible
fucking chipping the fucking top of the port
makes it so difficult to play
i need new wooting
no residue but it's a pain in the ass to take it off
gonna get module
have to twirl the cable like twice and push it bottom right & have my phone sit on top of it
stfg
oh
I mean once you do the mod, you're not really taking it on and off
as long as you cut screw holes
disconnects all the time and gets me killed 👍 can barley play tourneys anymore till i get new one
does it seem like it could damage the pcb??
u tried molskin on pcb?
Pull slowly
first layer
I have it on now yes
yeah
And tbh if you take it off multiple times, the adhesive becomes weaker each time so it's easier to pull off
but the first time pulling it off will be toughish
i gottchu
what moleskin do u guys have
link?
im seeing a lot of diff ones
Thank you for choosing FirstChoice! Whether you have blisters, sores, corns, calluses, chafing, or any other issue that is friction or weight-related, we're here to help. Our Moleskin Roll is designed to give you a maximum amount of moleskin that is still small enough to pack around with you. The...
I got this one
Just cause it's wider and fits the width of the PCB so you only need one strip instead of multiple
is wider
i see that
its big asf on the vid
thickness wise
haha yeah
gonna get that one
its thicker
i dont see why not
thanks bro❤️🥰
Yeah, up to you really, no problem
❤️❤️*
💀
do u guys think kilmat would be better in a spacebar than masking or moleskin tape?
or no
are ceramic keycaps better than pbt? do they sound better?
Ceramic keycaps tend to lead to a deeper pitched sound
so if you're looking for that then sure
Ceramic keycaps have an ultra smooth surface
you either like it or don't like it
thock in a keycap
what would this benefit & would it interfere w tempest or band aid?
can someone send me a sound test of a raptors with the stem swapped
anyone have trouble with stabs on stem swapped raptor?
How so
Does anyone have the psd60 plate file for the frog mini. (Nevermind, found it)
switch pad is solder version right
assuming u bought from kbdfans
they dont explain well on site
bought mine from cannonkeys
o
well then prolly pochizo bought from kbd fans
will ask ltr
some switches when i press a keycap down on the stabs it stays down
Probably a problem with ur stabs then
I got mine from divinikey
Probably to reduce contact with the case and also serves as some type of protection ig
you mean like it registers the spacebar?
did some one ever use corrugated cardboard instead of case foam
no
i want to know how that sounds
Probably hollow
like the key gets stuck literally
keycap
tolerance
take out the keycap
use a stem puller and check on the stabilizer
if the stem move up and down fine
then your keycap has a high tolerance with the stem causing it to be stuck
Yeah I get that a little also
I think only backspace and it doesn’t really stay down but kind of slow return
Not great
i have thaat problem with my TX AP stabs
esp with my left shift key
has a major problem
my other modifiers were fine over time
ya i have those LOL
yeah so its the keycap tolerance
i feel you bro
mines are working fine
i had to replace the left shift with stock
so
does doing the raptor/Lekker stem change the actuation at all? or does it still have the 0.1 to 4mm
the lekker has standard stuff
raptor has a stronger magnet so its more sensitive
and yes you can still access 0.1 and 4m
But lekker stem is lekker magnet
HUH
so is it more sensitive iwth the lekker stem?
or the same
I’d be worried about crosstalk with a stronger magnet
why are people so consistently mentioning the rgb not looking the same with colored hall effect switches. like, it’s in every comment I see about them.
the market of people who want to swap switches for something that feels and sounds better has almost no crossover with the market of people who care about rgb that I’ve seen
having more information about the products you're considering > having less information about the products you're considering
V true, I just don’t normally see something like that mentioned with this consistency lol
Yo would u guys say my spacebar sounds bad compared to the rest of the keyboard?
Obviously it’s supposed to sound different but not sure if it’s supposed to sound like that, i lubed the switch and the stabilizers
No that sounds about right, they usually sound pretty different from the rest in a deeper tone like that
There is foam you can get specifically for spacebars (from kbdfans or others) if you want to try and get it closer to the rest
Alright thanks, also I swapped the keycap for the spacebar because the other one feels mushy on one side, I checked if it’s warp and I swear it’s not, is it just that the keycap was faulty or something
It could be that keycap is tighter tolerance and you maybe over tightened one side of the stab/it’s not aligned perfectly
If it’s the pbtfans keycap I’d be surprised if it’s a warp issue just due to them having newer molds - but it’s technically possibly the keycap has warping too
Like by aligned u mean when I put the stabs into the pcb?
Here’s the one with the messed up spacebar
Yeah you’d need to check the actual stabiliser back to see if it’s resting straight
Like u mean the wire?
I’m pretty sure it’s straight I don’t think it’s bent, I checked
Lemme hear yalls thockest wootings
No the actual screwed in part
If it’s not sitting flush and flat it can cause mushiness
sound test for you guys
One more thing, my enter key is buggin on the left side, the stabilizers are loose compared to the other ones, I’ve tried different ones too
is it the pcb? because like no matter what stabilizers i put therye still somewhat loose
Switch plate if anything. Your stabilizers aren't touching the PCB at all.
Do u know good keycaps ISO French ?

more sensitive..???? wym
like .1-.15-.2-.25
is it only available heavier than the L45s?
Basically it just means if you play on 0.5 actuation for example it might feel more like 0.3 on the raptors
The starting point is a tad more sensitive vs lekkers
thats so fuckin good
whats the lightest weight one they have
wait where do i find these treasures 🤤
Depends on country. Divinikeys if you’re usa
Keep in mind if you’re not on extremely low actuation there’s no real gain sensitivity wise since you’d just be changing your starting point by a tad
It’s kind of like how you could just set your actuation more sensitive by 0.2 now already if you were on 0.5
every key i use is .1 w/ rt besides like esc windows key & map (g) lol
I use 0.4mm on WASD and about 1.2mm on almost everything else except a few keys I have at 2.0 and 2.5 and 4.0
hold the fuck on
so the gaming version is 3mm instead of 4mm totoal travel
end less total cn force
you want the raptor he not the raptor mx
mx is not hall effect
^
Mx is a standard switch
i use 0.1 wasd but i changed it to 0.3 on the raptors because the 0.1 felt just a tad too hair trigger on the raptors
so the raptor he
Yes
stop. your gonna get me too excited.
no fuckin way 😭
i play comp. im about to
😭😭😭😭😭
i'm surprised you use 0.1 all keys actually, most folks find it way too sensitive even on lekkers
It is lol
holy fuck the fact that i thought i was ab to build my end game kb & didnt even know ab fuckin half the things i heard yesterday 😭😭😭
yh but im notta casual i dunno i dont miss press i rlly dunno how they do
act act hold on my S key is .5
💀 i forgot ab that
lmaoo
Did you just say you’re not a casual while also saying you didn’t know about half this keyboard stuff yesterday? Lol
not a casual in the game i play, whats that have to do with keyboard modding
Everything
not a single pro knows how to kb mod (well)
They should
i guess so but its not smth that they will. also besides these switches theres really no competitive benefit what so ever with even max modding
not rlly worth their time to learn
Well yeah most mods are just for sound and feel
Nothing that affects gaming performance
0.1 with tachyon on isn't as sensitive than without it, very manageable
well half the things i heard yesterday were u could band aid mod with grease, switch tape mod, uh gummy o ring mod, polyfill, switch pads are useable on the wooting
things like that
very not like basic
yeah thats what im saying
lol I was just giving you crap, but yeah I feel you
thats my point
those switches tho, im completely surprised how they aren’t hard dick rode and like extremely popular
or mainstream
nvr heard of them till yesterday and js ignored it💀
They kinda are tbh
raptor's? they're new
oh lmfaoo
Lots of people been buying them here at least
If you use the test firmware it’s same with tachyon on now
They seem to have fixed that old issue
yeah I tried it but updated to the main branch once it got a new update
haven't bothered to put the testsignal fw back
probably very popular in modding comm, probably decently known in kb comm, but in a games comp scene i promise in at least mine its nvr been heard of lol
are they new???
oh yh, well makes sense
And yeah I doubt comp gamers know about them lol
what..????
oh
o shi
it’s probably likely they will get popular then
yes, it's a problem that has been looked at for a good while now and there's a test firmware that makes it better, but it's not in the main branch yet since they need to verify it doesn't fuck anything else up for the majority
gonna be sold out for months
Yeah I get mine in the mail today
😭😭😭😭
yh realistically if like one of them find out or their coach does or like org manager, theyll prolly tell em but then itll all be a secret for a while and mainstream in that game or like comp scene that isnt pro just wont find out for a much longer time
cuz u cant see switches on stream😭😭
gatekept thing
are the raptors different housing material??
so would switch tape mod still be necessary?
Have you done the frank switch Jed? What’s your take on it ?
Yes they’re nylon
And most have said no
Yeah I used it for a day. It does make it tighter but it had a franken switch feel in that you can honestly tell it’s a tad too tight
Yeah I planned on leaving mine stock
for people who prefer heavier feeling switches it's still good though, but it made my raptors feel like L65-70 bottom out instead of 52g
didn't love that feeling when gaming so I swapped them back
Sweet, thanks for your feedback
that’s my sound test for the frankenswitch if u want
I'm curious to see what will be out by the time wootings tkl/75 comes out since it'd be mid next year sometime probably going off past projects if announced end of year
wait
bro L45s are lighter than raptors
so like how does it make sense that they feel quicker or smth like im not understanding
heftier magnet
the magnet is stronger
the spring weight has nothing to do with it
it also has a heavier staring force
but that's not why people like them, they're less wobbly
hm
yh but i can play much better on l45 than l60
js weight thing
lighter does not equal faster
placebo
lighter does equal faster for a hand
i mean if u want u can throw those springs in the raptors
spring weight is very different to speed of actuation unless you feather touch
if you press insanely lightly there might be a different time but most people don't light touch their keys
switches arnt faster if theyre lighter. OBV. but hands are faster is switches are lighter
lmao yh no
that's not really how it works because the force required to push down the key is WAAAY more than you need usually
i dont play like fuckin league or smth where u press the keys slow😭
so speed wise it doesn't really affect things, but it does come into play when you spam keys
like i said you can just spring swap if you wanted to…
when you spam keys over a long period of time you'll notice the fatigue more on heavier springs
im actually really not understanding which id like more, this is fucked😭😭
L45 vs L52 isn't that big honestly
yeah raptors at 52g bottom out is already on the lighter side
unless you're playing osu or something I don't know why you'd want it even lighter
wooting is releasing that spring pack at some point too if you really wanted to go super light
going L30 or whatever their lowest is at 0.1 actuation might be psychotic though
wait thats actually the strat
omg i love u sm
fuckin goat
i said that like twice for you lol
yh sorry was talking irl lol
cant wait to open switches for a yr tho
😭
i'm curious to see how geon raptor v2 in march will be. By then we'll probably know more about the upcoming wooting tkl/75 and might even be a couple more switch options on the market
next wooting keyboard might be a fun mod job
i forgot that frankenswitching it basically you lose the stronger magnet anyways LOL
listen i dont know how to explain this correctly and obv a spring doesnt make the switches less actuation or less latency or wtvr tf, but your droning like not understanding what im saying, i played on L60 and i fucking hated them, played slow asf, got l45s loved them sm, felt like my gk61, and i was able to play same finger pressing speed and energy but way quicker keyboard
I think the ones coming in march don’t have any improvements they’re just clear white
best way i can explain it.
its simple rlly
it rlly is
idk why im getting responded to like im stupid or smth
ohhh
u do understand 😭
yea yeah, thats what im saying
switch is same speed of course but U can play much much quicker & better if your like good at the game
and can feel all of the difference
bro thats exactly what im saying, im not fat or any thing, and go to the gym all the time usually 5 days of the week, actually ironically train arms most i noticed, and still did all of this when i okayed L60s and i legit go so tired and like after not even playing for that long, my hands were slightly cramping and i played like sum low sens pro 😭
…. wooting is releasing L30 springs..???? or L45 springs?
you have to work out harder at the gym imo
in order to use L60s properly
gonna do you a solid though. Here are some springs I found. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CJ4RFVMW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 - 25g starting force, 37g bottom out. Works with Lekker. But mine's still in shipping.
They’re releasing a spring pack. Was talked about awhile ago in leaks
bro
i have no words
i feel like i just discoverd fire
WHAT THE FUCK
I WILL HAVE THE WOOTING 2.0 FROM 2033
😭😭
you did just do me a fucking solid 😭😭😭😭
anyone knows any red/grey french iso keycaps ? I wanna buy a wooting and customise it to match my mousepad
i feel like i owe you a lifetime supply of chick fil a
💀😭😭
thank you so much bro
how about this?
but with Red legend color instead
instead of black
alpha is beige L9
mod is gray U9
oh yeah i kinda dig this it looks like an old keyboard
do u guys think kilmat would be better in a spacebar than masking or moleskin tape?
like the year 2000 old
or no
yeahhh + I cant find the french layout on there
DAMN
but with 21kb
you get real french keyboard
i just noticed nav key
it is in french too lol
so cool
What y’all think about this ?
keyboard 👍
Why do your two bottom rows sit so high?
Looks like you need to push the PCB down more imo
The angle of the keys not being flush with the angle of the case bothers me lol
because ive put alot of polyfill inside actually
xd
also i have 1 layer of tape mod 1 layer of keeptape and another 1 layer of tape mod
u know
as long as the usb port align correctly im hjappy
do u guys think kilmat would be better in a spacebar than masking or moleskin tape?
not sure if i should get kilmat for it or js use tape
Are we still talking about keyboards or backyard gardening using military grade agents?

underground pipe maintenance materials
what would this benefit? & would it interfere w tempest or band aid?
no clue why to use them
dunno wym “the reason”
k doesnt look like itll interfere with anything
Maybe some people want military-grade keyboards lol
still dunno what it does tho
😭 what im saying
Where
They dampen the friction between plate and case.
mod specs
what if you were to gummy o ring mod
would it even be necessary?
hm resulting in what?
No because you’re not using screws with gummy mount
ok ok
Those silicone pads almost act as a burger mount but not exactly the same
Compared to using silicone rings
yhh
ok
thanks for help
Np
Yeah I did
alrr
Not using it anymore but I did at the time
yhh
yo cam
i got like 2 more questions before im confident i correctly have every thing im gonna do to the kb written down
can u help answer em
Possibly
ok
so first 1, i want to do gummy o ring inside my tofu redux case, problem is im ordering wooting module, and that doesnt work unless i change stabs
i know nothing about stabs and am hoping i can get the wooting stabs like from sm where
online, maybe they are a popular stab alrdy used and its purchasable
i have to change the stabs to either clip in, or plate mount, i dont know the difference thought and am not sure if it would change the sound
If you’re getting the module and trying to do gummy o ring mounting then you just need to get PCB clip-ins instead of screw-ins.
And it’s really only for the backspace and spacebar
hmm ok
Most people get TX AP stabs but theres a few good options
the only difference is sound?
Mmh no, mainly housing thickness , stem tightness and stabilizer rattle
yh, js as complicated as i thought😭
ok ok can u tell me js like a couple pros and cons of each, ill decide from that
cuz i dont wanna ask a thousand questions
why clips ins over plate mount? any reason or no not rlly?
Clip ins are so you can gummy mount , otherwise screw ins are typically better
ok ok
if you really want to gummy o ring it you can buy the tx clip in stabs 1.6
whats the diff between what u said (tx ap) and what he said (tx)?
yo the frankswitch raptors are absolutely what I was missing from my wooting honestly - I’m a long time cherry mx black enjoyer because of how hard I type and these switches are reeeeaaaaally doing it for me right now
😭 nice bro
congrats
what u do just change the stem??
yep - hand lubed them and changed the stem with the lekker stem
Mmh not that I know off the top of my head personally
as a similar (some ppl may prefer) option
okok
so what stabs are wooting using?
is it even known or like jus their own
they're made by Porsche
As far as I know it’s just their own but a lot of people compare to them Durocks V2’s stabs
tkl & tu
what do i buy
As for the module, nobody really knows yet but it’s said that the screw in stabs on the module are good
no clue difference
Thicc
For plate mount you want tx ap tkl base kit
tx ap much better?
For clips in or screw ins you want 1.6
From what I’ve heard yeah slightly
eh stabs are stabs
you don't really gain much from changing stabs unless you have a particular random issue with a stab since you can usually tune any stab to be solid
mine are ticking and would def benefit from changing
Yeah exactly
idk if i should do clip ins or plate mount idk diff
Just tune your stabs and you’re fine
if your stabs are ticking just throw in some lube/balance
Well if you want gummy mount do clip ins
i tried to balance
But you can’t do plate mount or clips in on the same PCB
im not good at it
It’s one or the other depending on the PCB
well unless the balance is way off you shouldn't even really need to balance
alr
usually just a syringe and a little bit of the right lube is more than enough
Yeah shouldn’t need to balance unless you got some cheap stabs I feel like lol
Or a bad batch
that fixes ticking for almost everyone
alrr
yhh
so do i change all stabs or just back soace and esc, cuz u said thats all that like blocks gummy mount
right
honestly if you have nothing wrong with your stabs don't even change them
need to gummy mount
for module
He’s asking in regards to the module for doing gummy mount
yh
aren't the module ones just standard screw ins?
And if you’re just doing gummy mount then yeah just replace the backspace and spacebar stabs with clip ins @untold wigeon
you cant do gummy mount with screw ins
Rest can stay as screw ins
wait I thought he had his wooting already
yh but im changing to clip ins
but tx ap is “slightly better” why not change all
right??
it's not
cuz screw ins are better
stabs are stabs. Once they're tuned they're all fine
better for what
what are pros and cons
i act need to know
Honestly the only thing with TX AP vs other stabs that I noticed is the wires are a lot tighter in the stem aka less wiggle
So like you don’t need to do holee mod on tx ap for example
clip in is a little harder to mess up because they don't go in one tightness
Cause it’s so tight
ohhh
Yea
ok thats good
Right
I haven’t done holee on tx ap since the spacing is so small anyway
i have both screw ins and clip ins in my other keyboards, once they're in then I wouldn't even know which is which
alr but whats the difference
one has a clip you push in
between clip & screw i act dunno
one has a screw
One you screw in, the other u clip in xD
obviously
that's literally it
im saying whats the pros and cons for them
id assume so
they're both doing the exact same thing.
One takes less@time I suppose xD
then why are screw typically preferred
U done need to screw
they aren't
you heard wrong
alr
both types are popular
need to do smth hold on
Ppl like the screw in because they tend to say tighter vs plate mount
cant pop ins pop out when pulling keycaps out?
Never had that happen either
I think ppl compare plate mount vs screw in not screw in vs clip in
so @harsh dove just change backspace & escape to clip ins or change all to clip ins?
Yeah it’s mainly a comparison between plate mount and PCB mounted stabs
yeah plate vs screw in/clip in is a different matter because plate mount isn't great
Escape doesn’t have a stab lol
But yeah backspace and spacebar
I feel like a good plate mount stab works pretty well too is that true?
I never tried a screw in
not as good as pcb mount
Ic
Ah ok
if anything unless you actually have some issue going on with your stabs I wouldn't touch it if you are new to keyboard stuff because almost all the issues that happen are when people mess up their stab install
Yeah
And wooting stock stabs are good I think people just wanna mod to feel better about it lol
if you want to see for yourself join the meletrix discord and scroll through their chat channel, it's literally 10932789213 stab issue questions per day
XD
always because people tightened them wrong, or didn't install them level or didn't push them in fully etc
wooting actually smart for doing pre installed stabs in the module because it saves them a lot of headache doing customer service for people messing with stabs later
Yep
Pretty happy with my board atm, only switches have not been changed
Getting raptors to try tho
I want the clear housing
well we don't know yet if geon will change anything else. He said he has a plan to try improve stem wobble even more
didn't elaborate though
From what I’ve heard and seen there isn’t but never know
I like the red clear plastic tbh
can you tape mod the two he?
I like it aesthetic wise, but I don’t like that it affects the rgb
Right yeah
i'll have to buy another set if I move mine to geon's board when it comes out, then i'll need to get more for the wooting tkl/75 whenever it's delivered. But we don't even know if there might be new switches or other stuff by then anyway
raptors plus the wooting spring pack
would be soo good
already ordered them cerakeys
there's those new gateron he switches too
but who knows if they fixed wobble on those
yeah my hopes on gateron products arent that high
Some company is gonna make a switch tape mod kit if it gets more popular lol
doesn't stem swapping fix that issue?
well ideally you don't need to tape mod at all, which is what it is for all the good switches nowadays in custom keyboard land
i don't like the stem swap. Makes the keys heavier feel
You mean for the raptors right?
At least in terms of he switches
I mean in general for switches
tape mod was more common in the past but you don't need to do it anymore on good non he switches. So he switches just need to catch up to that standard
I wonder why
too tight. It causes friction as you bottom out
This is what I meant , my bad. I was going to say it seems that HE switches need to catch up in terms of the stem wobble compared to other good switches
honestly if you don't mind a higher force feeling switch nothing wrong with the stem swap mod
just that you don't get your lighter press feel anymore
higher force as is in like 60-70 or?
yeah as in probably feels like 65-70 bottom out
ah
Yeah I don’t plan on stem swapping
I don't mind that
even with the lighter springs the raptors with stem swap feel harder to push down, but they do have basically no stem wobble
is it consistent tho? or some part light and some heavy
Do stock raptors have any wobble?
it's consistent, you feel it more as you bottom out
yeah a little, but not as bad as lekkers
Gotcha, thank you
I use like a 62g switch so
if lekkers are a 0 and top end custom keyboard switches are a 10 for tight stem wobble, then stock raptors are like a 5
I need more opinions on raptor/lekker stem
I’m going to run raptor stems personally
i mean if you don't mind using slightly heavier feel then go for it, it's not bad
Just hand lube them and call it a day
you can always swap them back if you don't like it, took me about an hour
Did you ever try spring swap too or no?
And I think I asked already but did you notice a difference in length for springs?
didnt mean to type that, i was thinking of the word escape
nah didn't bother since the raptor springs were already lighter, didn't really want to combine it to be even heavier with my L60 springs
what i meant to say ^
alrr
Got it thanks
Takes like 2 minutes lol
Pop off like 6 keys
Pull out some switches
Replace stabs
Put it back together
honestly if both are plate mount i don't even see any reason to swap em
it would be interesting to see it with the lekker 45 spring
i'd swap stabs if I was going from plate to pcb mount somehow but plate to plate is eh
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CJ4RFVMW/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A114N70IXBU62B&psc=1
basically L30s
wooting is coming out with spring packs
yh
any1 has link to cheap 60% keyboard case for lwoointg like on aliexpress
base, 1.6 for spacebar & backspace right
why not use the stock case?
like a metal case?
Okay quick questions, you are buying the module correct?
yes
Not the regular wooting60he?
module, tofu redux, wanna gummy o ring
Okay, then yes you want clip ins if you plan on gummy mount. Base kit, 1.6mm PCB, and I believe you want the 60/85 size not TKL
@untold wigeon
well, not super cheap but it works with kb and is high quality
60/85 size?
TX AP Stabilizers are kin25's fourth revision of his popular TX Stabilizers. The "AP" stands for almost perfect stabilizers with its improved housing and stem. These improvements help to fit the wire better, reduce wobble, as well as reduce unwanted noise. Still coming with its signature doubleshot stem. TX AP Stabiliz
Yeah I remember there being sizes
is this 60/85 i dont see any sizing options
I might be thinkin of sumn else
maybe
these r clip ins right
yes
js verifying
These should be fine
alrr
But honestly
The module stabs are supposed to be good so
I wouldn’t really buy these
Unless you just want that aesthetic
only buying these for gummy mod
yeah but they want to gummy o-ring mount
I kinda spaced that part that you were gummy mounting lmao
lmao
thx for help man ❤️
Yeah no problem
however they're currently sold out
so you'll need to wait
its so short trust
LMFAO
do u think kilmat would be better in a spacebar than masking or moleskin tape?
or no
I just used a piece of 1mm poron foam in mine
Tirade recommended some museum putty as well which is also good
Was like $4 on Amazon
hm what do u think would be best
I’m sure moleskin would work good too
I’d just try what you have on hand and see how you feel
yhh
alrr
is it possible to make raptors thocky?
I can make anything thocc
isnt just as simple as do thocky mods
and choose thocky materials
@molten breach (DEU) Do you have any idea why this wouldn't be working? I measured the resistance from the solder points to the JST on the other end and it works fine. Shield and ground are also connected to each other in the device as you said. It just doesn't seem to be working.
@molten breach (DEU) The wooting cord is recognized by this cheap USB tested I got. Doesn't see mine for some reason.
@silk token I should already informed you that just wirering it up don't work. I guess there is no voltage present on Vbus, or?
Because if my assumption is correct and there is no voltage then you forgot to wirering up the CC pins as I already told you.
The Wooting isn't just a regular cable, it also contains some resistores for the CC pings to connect that to groudn I guess but I forgot.
And the value of these are very important.
From the looks these are missing on your daughterboard.
i mean it does have a resistor on the back side
who knows if thats correctly attached though
Huh? There is just R1 and that is not populated.
i swear it looks populated but id trust your opinion if you saw r1 marked
if its unpopulated then its even more reasons it wont work though
These are using to identify the cable orientation and what the if there is an e-marker chip present. The e-marker will tell the device what the cable is capable of.
Is wootings estimates on shipping usually pretty accurate?
Seems like using a custom cable is gonna be a non-starter...
Looks unpopulated to me:
ah i couldnt zoom in that far
Is that the 2 pads to the left of the R1?
You need to open the soure file, then you can zoom in as you want.
i tried
Anyway, thanks for your help. back to the drawing board
Also a single resistor would not be enough. You need independent ones for each CC pin. So because there is just one and because these aren't exposed I can already tell that this connector isn't good / useful.
It should work when a USB C to A cable is used, if the rest is ok. But a C to C cable would not work because the host would not even know that a cable is connected.
While the plug of the cable is universal and you can flip the connector as you want there is still a specific way of how the wires are routed in the cable. So both, the device and the host needs to figure out in which orientation the cable is connected.
So there is CC1 and CC2 on the connector but on the cable there is only one CC wired up through the entire cable. The other is for the e-marker.
how do i install the gummy o ring?
i have a klippe and no idea how to push this pcb down
I push the usb side in first
And then gradually push in the o ring and make sure it doesnt pop out
@silk token This maybe helps: https://community.silabs.com/s/article/what-s-the-role-of-cc-pin-in-type-c-solution?language=en_US
Sadly they don't seem to mention the needed value for Rd.
Also have a read here: #🤖│community_dev message
Start from the bottom middle and push the ring in/down and out to the edges
the ring sticks out a lot on the left and ride sides
bc theres a stand off for the pc plate
does that matter or?
Even the aluminum plates have this. Its from the stabilizers. Since these are plate mounted stabs, it doesnt stick out enough to cause a big issue but might take a little bit of effort. Which o-ring are you using?
Is that an ISO board?
Yes that looks normal
o okay, just really hard to get in the case then LOL
Wooting 60 HE in Klippe T special edition solid brass case using gummy o-ring friction fit mount
Someone can recommend me some keycaps French/japannese in Azerty
Or a website who it’s not too expensive
Those two...COMBINED?
Yup
I highly doubt you'll find a single set outside of placing a custom order for a set or joining a group buy with options.
I only found dual language qwerty x Japon
Finding azerty in the first place is rare.
trying my best to get the bottom in now
i got the rest of the sides
So we use azerty 😂
You can use a credit card or plastic shim if you need a little pressure but remember if its too hard to get it itll be too hard to get out 🙂
hi i’m new to keyboard moddin g 😼
Welcome
is it possible to mod a wooting to sound “marbly” and “creamy”
helloo
Anything is possible if youre willing to put in the work. Lots of good information here https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399
i went through the entire thing to make sure i didn't miss anything
has a 60HE been PE foam modded? the jelly epoch sounding thingy
cause that's the sound profile i like
Really? Ive seen some complaints and some people using plastic spacebar because of the problem
does this look flush enough?
Looks great!
U just lift the spacebar slightly up and ur good
i don't push mine down fully when attaching (not when using, using i press down normally). I bounces back up fine
if u push the key fully down when attaching it, it does get stuck
The one I'm using right now is also o-ring mounted and is about the same height
ahhh okay thank u
is that silve fjell ?
now i want to buy silver frog mini 😦
looks really good with white keycaps and artisan
Negative. It's a mostly unknown limited run of a different case. But like the Fjell does have a brass insert, its just lower profile with less oif an angle
or maybe 5 degree that discounted case
i should buyt that instead of tofu60 black v1
i really like those under gloving weights
Next level keyboard modding
IM HOMEEEE
Hi pops :D
need that car once i get a driver's license
to those that modded, should i wait a week to get my pc plate then start modding or should i start modding now and then switch out the pc plates when it arrives, time-wise
first time modding and i got no idea how long a kb would take to lube and all that other stuff
Just start modding and swap plates when it gets there @thorny canopy
Gonna take you a long time to lube etc
Rawr indeed
can you do burger mount and oring or is it one or the other
One or the other
With gummy mount you don’t use any screws at all
With burger you use silicon ring for all the case screws
Basically you’re either dampening the screws or not using any at all
Is my PCB sitting on the case too high ?
what case is this
gh60 low profile?
im guessin
yeah its suppose to be like that
where the switches is exposed
Sitting a bit high for me personally but seems fine for LP case
normal profile hides the switches
Yeah
I only have one layer of wooting foam in it
Since putting the two layers of the default foam made it to not fit
yeah it looks correct since you tray mount
Thanks! 🙂
no problemo 👍
yeah mines burger mounted rn i was just wondering if people did both
Ah okay, no, I’ve never heard of anyone doing both
there's not really any point in doing that
ye ye makes sense
my friend is asking if the wooting module comes with foam
that's what the "silicone/poron pad" thing is right
It shows on the website what comes in the box
yeah but is silicone poron pad the same as foam
No it’s 2 types
Poron is what it comes with
Like in a wooting as is new
PC plate just comes with another one
the poron is the plate foam i believe
and the module also comes with case foam i think
but im not sure ab that
Silicone is also plate foam
How Can you tell if you overlube the switches ?
while lubing the switches
if you notice theres like white glob of lube
then its a over lube
it should be a nice shiny coat
Got it thank you!
Do yall think tx ap stabs need mods?
Holee mod or plumbers tape mod for example?
just lube
nah
just need lube and grease
and some tuning
it will turn out perfect
i dont have holee mod or anything like that
just lube and grease wire
i still need to tune mine but whole keeb is still in work for smth
yea theres not a lot of space to holee mod
Nice,
what plate?
nice
What are those keycaps
So what do u prefer, raptors hand lubed or lekkers switche tape modded + hand Lubed ?
I love those keycaps
Do you know of a 3 meter or longer USB cable with which you can use all the wooting functions without any problems?
its just because of the voltage?
Your best bet is to use a powered USB hub.
good idea thanks
Reveal on december 29!? 👀
yes yes will you be there 👀
Of course..new product im interested in
Ima use em today and let you know
Thanks
Which ones are those btw
GMK Dualshot
Tyty
I always fall out of my chair when I see keycap prices tho
Haha yeah
did you try the stem swap?
Nah
Says it feels a tad too tight and I don’t want that personally
I might try it out just to have my own opinion on it but not something I see myself doing permanently
Yeah I was hoping to get your opinion because some people have just said it sounds and feels just better than stock raptors
yeah and fyi it was pykino who said he thought it was an overall improvement
Can’t wait for that WootingTKLHE reveal lol
take my money 💸
Do you have raptors ?
y
When Sindria said “pykino” I thought they meant you and just typed your name wrong but it is actually someone else
oh yeah nah someone else
it also seems like Bingus perfers t he franken switch
this filmed?
Not filmed - the polycarb films I have currently make the pitch higher
A lot of people call me Big Sly
