Probably fine

fluid ravine
#

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

harsh dove
#

I’d probably lube the bottom and top housings personally but up to you

#

I get mine in tomorrow

fluid ravine
#

tell me how it goesss

thorny canopy
#

has anyone done a tape mod and realized a difference on a aluminum case?

quiet bay
#

yes

#

deeper sound

thorny canopy
#

got any recs on which tape to use?

quiet bay
#

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

thorny canopy
quiet bay
thorny canopy
#

im assuming you would place the masking tape first onto the pcb and moleskin on the top of the layers

valid pier
#

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

untold wigeon
#

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)

untold wigeon
quiet bay
#

it is all down to preference

untold wigeon
quiet bay
#

yes

untold wigeon
#

have a vid of the difference?

quiet bay
#

no

untold wigeon
#

dam

#

him ok, well testing it is gonna be rlly easy so ill js do it myself

devout torrent
#

So for more deep just do 2 layers each?

untold wigeon
#

js the case tape not smth like switch tape mod layers

#

😭😭😭😭😭😭

devout torrent
#

Or can I just do all moleskin tape

valid pier
untold wigeon
untold wigeon
harsh dove
#

nothing else

untold wigeon
devout torrent
#

Ima try 2 and 2 cuz seems good

harsh dove
#

I'm pretty happy with 1 personally, but feel free to try 2

untold wigeon
devout torrent
#

Should I not do 4?

untold wigeon
#

pretty sure 4 is too much bc the space u have in the redux case

devout torrent
#

Just 2 moleskin 1 tape

untold wigeon
#

nvr heard of anyone ever doing 4

harsh dove
#

Do whatever you want as long as everything is still compatible

untold wigeon
harsh dove
#

See what you like

untold wigeon
harsh dove
#

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

untold wigeon
#

i had my wooting with the cable plugged in in my backpack during travel on accident

harsh dove
#

Right, which is why I said as long as everything is still compatible

untold wigeon
#

fucking chipping the fucking top of the port

#

makes it so difficult to play

#

i need new wooting

quiet bay
untold wigeon
#

gonna get module

untold wigeon
#

stfg

harsh dove
#

I mean once you do the mod, you're not really taking it on and off

#

as long as you cut screw holes

untold wigeon
untold wigeon
harsh dove
#

no

#

Just don't rip it off like the Hulk

untold wigeon
#

u tried molskin on pcb?

harsh dove
#

Pull slowly

untold wigeon
#

first layer

harsh dove
#

I have it on now yes

untold wigeon
#

oh

#

ok

untold wigeon
harsh dove
#

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

untold wigeon
untold wigeon
#

link?

#

im seeing a lot of diff ones

quiet bay
harsh dove
#

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

untold wigeon
#

i see that

#

its big asf on the vid

#

thickness wise

harsh dove
#

haha yeah

untold wigeon
#

its thicker

#

i dont see why not

#

thanks bro❤️🥰

harsh dove
#

Yeah, up to you really, no problem

untold wigeon
#

❤️❤️*

#

💀

#

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?

quiet bay
#

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

untold wigeon
untold wigeon
#

what would this benefit & would it interfere w tempest or band aid?

halcyon obsidian
#

can someone send me a sound test of a raptors with the stem swapped

heady terrace
#

anyone have trouble with stabs on stem swapped raptor?

polar girder
#

How so

plucky umbra
#

Does anyone have the psd60 plate file for the frog mini. (Nevermind, found it)

untold wigeon
#

assuming u bought from kbdfans

untold wigeon
fluid ravine
untold wigeon
#

well then prolly pochizo bought from kbd fans

#

will ask ltr

heady terrace

lilac grove
#

did some one ever use corrugated cardboard instead of case foam

quiet bay
#

no

lilac grove
#

i want to know how that sounds

quiet bay
#

Probably hollow

lilac grove
#

dont think so

#

but depends what cardboard ofc

heady terrace
fluid ravine
#

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

polar girder
#

I think only backspace and it doesn’t really stay down but kind of slow return

#

Not great

fluid ravine
#

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

heady terrace
fluid ravine
#

i feel you bro

#

mines are working fine

#

i had to replace the left shift with stock

#

so

halcyon obsidian
#

does doing the raptor/Lekker stem change the actuation at all? or does it still have the 0.1 to 4mm

fluid ravine
#

and yes you can still access 0.1 and 4m

loud zephyr
#

what if the magnets die

#

nevermind, apparently they last for 100's of years

polar girder
#

But lekker stem is lekker magnet

fluid ravine
#

a magnet what

halcyon obsidian
#

HUH

halcyon obsidian
#

or the same

final wedge
#

I’d be worried about crosstalk with a stronger magnet

true patrol
#

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

surreal stirrup
#

having more information about the products you're considering > having less information about the products you're considering

true patrol
#

V true, I just don’t normally see something like that mentioned with this consistency lol

silver pecan
#

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

true patrol
#

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

silver pecan
#

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

glacial wind
#

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

silver pecan
#

Like by aligned u mean when I put the stabs into the pcb?

#

Here’s the one with the messed up spacebar

glacial wind
#

Yeah you’d need to check the actual stabiliser back to see if it’s resting straight

silver pecan
#

Like u mean the wire?

#

I’m pretty sure it’s straight I don’t think it’s bent, I checked

frosty sentinel
#

Lemme hear yalls thockest wootings

glacial wind
#

If it’s not sitting flush and flat it can cause mushiness

dapper vault
#

two he mods

#

??

heady terrace
silver pecan
#

is it the pcb? because like no matter what stabilizers i put therye still somewhat loose

bronze grove
#

Switch plate if anything. Your stabilizers aren't touching the PCB at all.

stray stump
#

Do u know good keycaps ISO French ?

grizzled path
crimson sky
#

very cursed switch

#

zealistotles

kind yew
untold wigeon
#

like .1-.15-.2-.25

#

is it only available heavier than the L45s?

glacial wind
#

The starting point is a tad more sensitive vs lekkers

untold wigeon
#

whats the lightest weight one they have

#

wait where do i find these treasures 🤤

glacial wind
#

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

untold wigeon
harsh dove
#

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

untold wigeon
#

hold the fuck on

#

so the gaming version is 3mm instead of 4mm totoal travel

#

end less total cn force

glacial wind
#

mx is not hall effect

harsh dove
#

^

untold wigeon
#

oh man ok ok i see

#

thanks thanks

harsh dove
#

Mx is a standard switch

glacial wind
#

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

untold wigeon
#

so the raptor he

harsh dove
#

Yes

untold wigeon
#

no fuckin way 😭

#

i play comp. im about to

#

😭😭😭😭😭

glacial wind
#

i'm surprised you use 0.1 all keys actually, most folks find it way too sensitive even on lekkers

harsh dove
#

It is lol

untold wigeon
#

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 😭😭😭

untold wigeon
#

act act hold on my S key is .5

#

💀 i forgot ab that

#

lmaoo

harsh dove
#

Did you just say you’re not a casual while also saying you didn’t know about half this keyboard stuff yesterday? Lol

untold wigeon
harsh dove
#

Everything

untold wigeon
#

not a single pro knows how to kb mod (well)

harsh dove
#

They should

untold wigeon
# harsh dove 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

untold wigeon
harsh dove
#

Well yeah most mods are just for sound and feel

#

Nothing that affects gaming performance

grizzled path
#

0.1 with tachyon on isn't as sensitive than without it, very manageable

untold wigeon
#

things like that

#

very not like basic

untold wigeon
harsh dove
untold wigeon
#

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💀

harsh dove
#

They kinda are tbh

grizzled path
#

raptor's? they're new

untold wigeon
harsh dove
#

Lots of people been buying them here at least

glacial wind
#

They seem to have fixed that old issue

grizzled path
#

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

untold wigeon
# harsh dove They kinda are tbh

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???

harsh dove
#

Yeah new

#

Like two weeks ago

untold wigeon
harsh dove
#

And yeah I doubt comp gamers know about them lol

untold wigeon
untold wigeon
#

it’s probably likely they will get popular then

grizzled path
#

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

untold wigeon
#

gonna be sold out for months

harsh dove
#

Yeah I get mine in the mail today

untold wigeon
#

😭😭😭😭

harsh dove
untold wigeon
# harsh dove And yeah I doubt comp gamers know about them lol

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

untold wigeon
#

so would switch tape mod still be necessary?

harsh dove
harsh dove
harsh dove
untold wigeon
#

💀💀😭

glacial wind
harsh dove
#

Yeah I planned on leaving mine stock

glacial wind
#

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

harsh dove
#

Sweet, thanks for your feedback

heady terrace
#

that’s my sound test for the frankenswitch if u want

glacial wind
#

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

untold wigeon
#

wait

#

bro L45s are lighter than raptors

#

so like how does it make sense that they feel quicker or smth like im not understanding

grizzled path
#

heftier magnet

heady terrace
#

the spring weight has nothing to do with it

untold wigeon
#

it also has a heavier staring force

grizzled path
#

but that's not why people like them, they're less wobbly

untold wigeon
harsh dove
#

Yeah main thing was housing wobble

#

Or stem wobble

untold wigeon
#

js weight thing

glacial wind
untold wigeon
#

but thats switch wise

heady terrace
untold wigeon
heady terrace
#

i mean if u want u can throw those springs in the raptors

glacial wind
#

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

untold wigeon
#

switches arnt faster if theyre lighter. OBV. but hands are faster is switches are lighter

untold wigeon
glacial wind
#

that's not really how it works because the force required to push down the key is WAAAY more than you need usually

untold wigeon
#

i dont play like fuckin league or smth where u press the keys slow😭

glacial wind
#

so speed wise it doesn't really affect things, but it does come into play when you spam keys

heady terrace
#

like i said you can just spring swap if you wanted to…

glacial wind
#

when you spam keys over a long period of time you'll notice the fatigue more on heavier springs

untold wigeon
glacial wind
#

L45 vs L52 isn't that big honestly

harsh dove
#

You’ll most likely enjoy the raptors if you prefer more sensitivity

#

For gaming

glacial wind
#

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

untold wigeon
#

omg i love u sm

#

fuckin goat

heady terrace
#

i said that like twice for you lol

untold wigeon
#

cant wait to open switches for a yr tho

#

😭

glacial wind
#

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

heady terrace
#

i forgot that frankenswitching it basically you lose the stronger magnet anyways LOL

#

idk why im getting responded to like im stupid or smth

untold wigeon
#

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

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.

Why do your two bottom rows sit so high?

The angle of the keys not being flush with the angle of the case bothers me lol

thanks for help

uh can u use those & burger mount

or no

#

same time

Yeah I did

#

Not using it anymore but I did at the time

untold wigeon
#

yhh

untold wigeon
#

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

harsh dove
#

Possibly

untold wigeon
#

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

harsh dove
#

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

untold wigeon
#

hmm ok

harsh dove
#

Most people get TX AP stabs but theres a few good options

untold wigeon
#

the only difference is sound?

harsh dove
#

Mmh no, mainly housing thickness , stem tightness and stabilizer rattle

untold wigeon
#

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

untold wigeon
harsh dove
#

Clip ins are so you can gummy mount , otherwise screw ins are typically better

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

congrats

#

what u do just change the stem??

spice herald
untold wigeon
#

so tx ap or like what

#

any other competition

#

rlly?

harsh dove
#

Mmh not that I know off the top of my head personally

untold wigeon
#

as a similar (some ppl may prefer) option

#

okok

#

so what stabs are wooting using?

#

is it even known or like jus their own

loud zephyr
#

they're made by Porsche

harsh dove
untold wigeon
#

what do i buy

harsh dove
#

As for the module, nobody really knows yet but it’s said that the screw in stabs on the module are good

untold wigeon
#

no clue difference

polar girder
#

Thicc

weary tree
#

just get the ap tx

#

its better

harsh dove
#

For plate mount you want tx ap tkl base kit

harsh dove
#

For clips in or screw ins you want 1.6

harsh dove
glacial wind
#

eh stabs are stabs

harsh dove
#

Pretty much tbh

#

Not gonna gain a huge difference

glacial wind
#

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

weary tree
#

mine are ticking and would def benefit from changing

harsh dove
#

Yeah exactly

untold wigeon
harsh dove
#

Just tune your stabs and you’re fine

glacial wind
#

if your stabs are ticking just throw in some lube/balance

harsh dove
#

Well if you want gummy mount do clip ins

weary tree
#

i tried to balance

harsh dove
#

But you can’t do plate mount or clips in on the same PCB

weary tree
#

im not good at it

harsh dove
#

It’s one or the other depending on the PCB

glacial wind
#

well unless the balance is way off you shouldn't even really need to balance

untold wigeon
glacial wind
#

usually just a syringe and a little bit of the right lube is more than enough

harsh dove
#

Yeah shouldn’t need to balance unless you got some cheap stabs I feel like lol

#

Or a bad batch

glacial wind
#

that fixes ticking for almost everyone

untold wigeon
untold wigeon
#

so do i change all stabs or just back soace and esc, cuz u said thats all that like blocks gummy mount

#

right

glacial wind
#

honestly if you have nothing wrong with your stabs don't even change them

weary tree
#

for module

harsh dove
#

He’s asking in regards to the module for doing gummy mount

untold wigeon
glacial wind
#

aren't the module ones just standard screw ins?

harsh dove
#

And if you’re just doing gummy mount then yeah just replace the backspace and spacebar stabs with clip ins @untold wigeon

weary tree
#

you cant do gummy mount with screw ins

harsh dove
#

Rest can stay as screw ins

glacial wind
#

wait I thought he had his wooting already

untold wigeon
harsh dove
#

No

#

He’s waiting on module

glacial wind
#

what has he been tuning then with his space bar issues and such

#

a different board?

harsh dove
#

Current board?

#

Idk

untold wigeon
#

right??

weary tree
#

cuz screw ins are better

glacial wind
#

stabs are stabs. Once they're tuned they're all fine

untold wigeon
glacial wind
#

screw ins vs clip ins is debatable

#

neither is 'better'

untold wigeon
#

i act need to know

harsh dove
#

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

glacial wind
#

clip in is a little harder to mess up because they don't go in one tightness

harsh dove
#

Cause it’s so tight

untold wigeon
#

ok thats good

glacial wind
#

but screw in is just as good if you get good screw ins

#

there's no 'better'

harsh dove
#

Right

cinder merlin
#

I haven’t done holee on tx ap since the spacing is so small anyway

glacial wind
#

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

untold wigeon
glacial wind
#

one has a clip you push in

untold wigeon
#

between clip & screw i act dunno

glacial wind
#

one has a screw

cinder merlin
#

One you screw in, the other u clip in xD

untold wigeon
#

obviously

glacial wind
#

that's literally it

untold wigeon
#

im saying whats the pros and cons for them

glacial wind
#

they both perform well if both are good

#

there isn't a pro or con

untold wigeon
glacial wind
#

they're both doing the exact same thing.

cinder merlin
#

One takes less@time I suppose xD

untold wigeon
cinder merlin
#

U done need to screw

glacial wind
untold wigeon
#

i heard so

#

alr

glacial wind
#

you heard wrong

untold wigeon
#

alr

glacial wind
#

both types are popular

untold wigeon
#

need to do smth hold on

cinder merlin
#

Ppl like the screw in because they tend to say tighter vs plate mount

weary tree

cant pop ins pop out when pulling keycaps out?

glacial wind
#

never had that happen

#

i have tx ap in one board and screw ins in another

harsh dove
cinder merlin
#

I think ppl compare plate mount vs screw in not screw in vs clip in

untold wigeon
#

so @harsh dove just change backspace & escape to clip ins or change all to clip ins?

harsh dove
#

Yeah it’s mainly a comparison between plate mount and PCB mounted stabs

glacial wind
#

yeah plate vs screw in/clip in is a different matter because plate mount isn't great

harsh dove
#

But yeah backspace and spacebar

cinder merlin
#

I never tried a screw in

glacial wind
cinder merlin
#

Ic

harsh dove
#

Yeah PCB mount is better overall

#

Less wiggle

cinder merlin
#

Ah ok

glacial wind
#

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

cinder merlin
#

I’ve been using the TX AP and they feel great still

#

Plate mount *

harsh dove
#

Yeah

#

And wooting stock stabs are good I think people just wanna mod to feel better about it lol

glacial wind
#

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

cinder merlin
#

XD

glacial wind
#

always because people tightened them wrong, or didn't install them level or didn't push them in fully etc

harsh dove
#

Lmao yeah I try not to mess with my stabs too much

#

With stabs , less is more tbh

glacial wind
#

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

harsh dove
#

Yep

cinder merlin
#

Pretty happy with my board atm, only switches have not been changed

#

Getting raptors to try tho

harsh dove
#

I know I can’t wait to get home

#

Get my raptors today

weary tree
#

im gonna wait till the second raptors comeout

#

see how it sounds in comparison

cinder merlin
harsh dove
#

Apparently there’s no difference

#

Besides clear housing

cinder merlin
#

But I also want to try these ones

#

Just to see if I actually like them

weary tree
#

might be slight material change

#

idk

glacial wind
#

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

harsh dove
#

From what I’ve heard and seen there isn’t but never know

glacial wind
harsh dove
#

Gotcha

#

That’s good

cinder merlin
#

In house switch tap mode xD

#

Tape*

weary tree
#

will def get a set of raptors next year tho

#

those thing too good

harsh dove
#

I like the red clear plastic tbh

dapper vault
#

can you tape mod the two he?

cinder merlin
#

I like it aesthetic wise, but I don’t like that it affects the rgb

harsh dove
#

Right yeah

glacial wind
#

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

weary tree
#

raptors plus the wooting spring pack

#

would be soo good

#

already ordered them cerakeys

glacial wind
#

there's those new gateron he switches too

#

but who knows if they fixed wobble on those

weary tree
#

yeah my hopes on gateron products arent that high

harsh dove
#

Some company is gonna make a switch tape mod kit if it gets more popular lol

halcyon obsidian
glacial wind
#

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

glacial wind
harsh dove
#

At least in terms of he switches

glacial wind
#

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

halcyon obsidian
glacial wind
harsh dove
glacial wind
#

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

halcyon obsidian
#

higher force as is in like 60-70 or?

glacial wind
#

yeah as in probably feels like 65-70 bottom out

halcyon obsidian
#

ah

harsh dove
#

Yeah I don’t plan on stem swapping

halcyon obsidian
#

I don't mind that

glacial wind
#

even with the lighter springs the raptors with stem swap feel harder to push down, but they do have basically no stem wobble

weary tree
#

is it consistent tho? or some part light and some heavy

harsh dove
glacial wind
#

it's consistent, you feel it more as you bottom out

glacial wind
harsh dove
#

Gotcha, thank you

halcyon obsidian
#

I use like a 62g switch so

weary tree
#

i like heavy switches for typing

#

but not for gaming

glacial wind
#

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

harsh dove
#

Okay

#

So basically a 2x improvement over the Lekkers

halcyon obsidian
#

I need more opinions on raptor/lekker stem

harsh dove
#

I’m going to run raptor stems personally

glacial wind
#

i mean if you don't mind using slightly heavier feel then go for it, it's not bad

harsh dove
#

Just hand lube them and call it a day

glacial wind
#

you can always swap them back if you don't like it, took me about an hour

harsh dove
#

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?

untold wigeon
glacial wind
#

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

untold wigeon

man I have some tx plate stabs

#

but been lazy to swap em in

harsh dove
#

Pop off like 6 keys

#

Pull out some switches

#

Replace stabs

#

Put it back together

glacial wind
#

honestly if both are plate mount i don't even see any reason to swap em

halcyon obsidian
glacial wind
#

i'd swap stabs if I was going from plate to pcb mount somehow but plate to plate is eh

untold wigeon
weary tree
#

i need heavier springs

#

for cerakeys

especially for the spacebar

just buy the wooting travel case

its cheap

#

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

agile grove
#

well, not super cheap but it works with kb and is high quality

untold wigeon
#

60/85 size?

agile grove
untold wigeon
harsh dove

Yeah I remember there being sizes

untold wigeon

is this 60/85 i dont see any sizing options

I might be thinkin of sumn else

maybe

js verifying

alrr

harsh dove

But honestly

#

The module stabs are supposed to be good so

#

I wouldn’t really buy these

#

Unless you just want that aesthetic

untold wigeon
#

only buying these for gummy mod

agile grove
harsh dove
#

True yeah duh lol

#

My b

untold wigeon
#

i dont need them??? thought screw ins wouldnt work with gummy mod

#

oh lmaoo

I kinda spaced that part that you were gummy mounting lmao

Like I knew you were but forgot for a sec

thx for help man ❤️

this is the 2nd one now

LMFAO

#

do u think kilmat would be better in a spacebar than masking or moleskin tape?

#

or no

harsh dove
#

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

untold wigeon
#

hm what do u think would be best

harsh dove
#

I’m sure moleskin would work good too

untold wigeon
#

cuz one of em is i havent tried any tho

#

so idk tbh

I’d just try what you have on hand and see how you feel

is it possible to make raptors thocky?

@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.

gaunt linden
#

My god switch tape mod is so annoying to do

#

It took me almost the whole night lol

molten breach
#

@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.

austere creek
#

i mean it does have a resistor on the back side

#

who knows if thats correctly attached though

molten breach
austere creek
#

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

silk token
#

Thanks for your quick reply. What are the cc pins?

#

Is that the R1?

molten breach
#

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.

halcyon obsidian
#

Is wootings estimates on shipping usually pretty accurate?

silk token
#

Seems like using a custom cable is gonna be a non-starter...

molten breach
austere creek
#

ah i couldnt zoom in that far

silk token
#

Is that the 2 pads to the left of the R1?

molten breach
austere creek
#

i tried

silk token
#

Anyway, thanks for your help. back to the drawing board

molten breach
#

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

And then gradually push in the o ring and make sure it doesnt pop out

heady terrace
#

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?

stray tiger
#

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?

has a 60HE been PE foam modded? the jelly epoch sounding thingy

cause that's the sound profile i like

weary tree

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

stray tiger
# heady terrace

The one I'm using right now is also o-ring mounted and is about the same height

cinder merlin

I think it's more of a case problem

than a spring problem

now i want to buy silver frog mini 😦

stray tiger
# marble shuttle is that silve fjell ?

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

marble shuttle

or maybe 5 degree that discounted case

i should buyt that instead of tofu60 black v1

can you do burger mount and oring or is it one or the other

harsh dove
#

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

Poron is what it comes with

and the module also comes with case foam i think

Do you know of a 3 meter or longer USB cable with which you can use all the wooting functions without any problems?

No such thing exists.

Due to the nature of USB cables and electricity.

its just because of the voltage?
