yupp ill find out how to get a "MARBLY/CREAMY" sound with a 60HE

#

gonna find the secret formula

loud zephyr
wind karma
#

sounds like hitmarkers

#

HAHA

loud zephyr
#

it even allows you to change to a higher pitched tone. wizard keyboard

#

Welcome home

fluid ravine
#

was so amzing i spelled amazing wrong

loud zephyr
#

spelling is overrated

fluid ravine
#

first time hearing of it

im fking bored
but i dont wanna read the whole chat

#

damnit

loud zephyr
#

Just a bunch of folks lubing and doing funny things to their keyboards

fluid ravine
#

going back in time

harsh dove
#

Back to Stock Raptors w/ Salvation and Alumaze Case Foam

fluid ravine
#

👍

harsh dove
#

Basically sounds the same as Raptor with Lekker Stem

#

I prefer the feel of the stock Raptor stem though

shrewd hatch
#

Yo @harsh dove @fluid ravine can I lube my stabilizer wires with 205?

Also which part of the stavilizer housing should I lube?

fluid ravine
harsh dove
#

I wouldn’t

#

Lube the housing and stem with 205g0 if you like

#

But not the wires

fluid ravine
#
  1. Its quite thin
  2. krytox is expensive so you would be wasting it if you do use it for the wire
shrewd hatch
#

I don't mind about wasting it, I got no grease though ATM. Could I apply quite a thick layer?

fluid ravine
#

i mean sure....

#

it will break in over time so there will be a most likely chance you will have to reapply

shrewd hatch
#

Aight might just do that for now until I can get my hands on some, ty!

fluid ravine
#

no problemo

fluid ravine
shrewd hatch
#

Down in Australia man, there's some at an auto store near me but it's 20 bucks lol

fluid ravine
#

idk if thats alot xd

#

20 aud right?

harsh dove
fluid ravine
#

20 aud to USD is $13

#

thats a average price

#

well kinda

#

depends on oz i guessing

shrewd hatch
#

I found some silicone grease that I used on some gym equipment a while back? Will this work

harsh dove
#

Yeah should be alright to try that , basically the same thing

shrewd hatch
#

Cheers bro

#

Anyone else running switch pads on their boards? Think mine might be playing up

harsh dove
#

I’m not personally, I only have pads under my stabs

devout torrent
#

that sounds insane

harsh dove
# devout torrent what mods?

Salvation w/ Alumaze Case Foam (even though you’re not supposed too)
GMK Dualshot
Raptor HEs Hand Lubed 205g0/Springs w/ SuperLube Oil
TX AP Stabs w/ Dielectric and 205g0
Stabilizer Pads and Wire Pads
1 Layer Moleskin Tape
PC Plate w/ Plate Foam
I think that’s it

shrewd hatch
harsh dove
#

Similar, I have actual cut out foam pads that are 0.1mm thin poron foam and then I have pieces of foam on the plate for the wires that they kinda just rest on

#

I’ll take a pic

gaunt linden
#

Can someone help me?

fluid ravine
#

wsg

gaunt linden
#

This ones seem to not work

#

When i press them down it gets stuck

fluid ravine
#

what is this one

gaunt linden
#

Wym

quiet bay
#

which one

fluid ravine
#

specify the problem

gaunt linden
#

That when i put the keycaps on and press down on them they get stuck

#

They don’t come back up

#

And i have to take them out

#

Could the stabs be the prob?

fluid ravine
#

you're saying when you put on the keycaps on the modifiers
they dont come up?

#

what stabs do you have atm

gaunt linden
#

I used tx ap stabs

fluid ravine
#

same

gaunt linden
#

Yes

fluid ravine
#

take a stem holder

#

and use it on the stem of the stabilizer

#

if it moves up and down fine

#

then its the keycap tolerance

#

this seems to be a common problem with tx ap stabs ;-;

gaunt linden
#

Is there a fix to this?

fluid ravine
#

i got mine to work

gaunt linden
#

Damn it lol

fluid ravine
#

you know how you would have to break in lube?
i do the same thing, just spam the shit out of them until they work normally.
If they're stuck just use your fingers and move it up and down as much as possible

#

if its returning slowly to its initial position, you can start spamming it and see what happens

#

if you do it long enough it should work fine

gaunt linden
#

Oh okey i can try it and i hope it works!

#

Lol

#

Thanks alot

fluid ravine
#

so technically its just the keycap tolerance

gaunt linden
#

Wym by keycap tolerance?

fluid ravine
# gaunt linden Wym by keycap tolerance?

Ok idk how to explain it rn but ima try my best
Keycap tolerance is how the keycap fits onto the stem.
So in this case the keycap tolerance on the tx ap stabs is high. Which mean they fit very tightly causing it to not return to its inital position. You can replace the stabilizer housing and still have the problem due the the stem and keycap

fluid ravine
harsh dove
#

Effect: Better

harsh dove
#

Well the pads are nice to reduce the sound of the stabilizer stem hitting the PCB and then the foam under the wires just helps eliminate any rattle

fluid ravine
#

was it from this?

harsh dove
#

Tbh I didn’t watch anything on it

#

I just wanted to do it and saw a lil kit

fluid ravine
#

huh

#

they did it

#

ok what i use :)

harsh dove
#

This is the same idea

fluid ravine
#

oh ye thats what i sent

#

i didnt send the link from yt xd

harsh dove
#

Oh ok lol

fluid ravine
#

@gaunt linden I can't fix my left shift stab

#

I have to replace it with the stock stab

harsh dove
#

Still wild to me

fluid ravine
#

Fr

harsh dove
#

He's just sad

#

gotta cheer em up

fluid ravine
fluid ravine
harsh dove
#

Have you tried swapping stabs stems with another?

fluid ravine
harsh dove
#

Yeah

shrewd hatch
#

@harsh dove @fluid ravine hey have any vids on lubing stabilizer housing? They didn't even do it in the wooting guide lmao

fluid ravine
#

ok holdup

fluid ravine
#

if you do it correctly
the lube should have a shiny reflective coating

#

there shouldnt be any white glob of lube

harsh dove
shrewd hatch
#

Ye but not sure which parts

fluid ravine
#

the walls

#

holdup

#

both wall

shrewd hatch
#

Ah OK just the inner?

fluid ravine
#

yep

harsh dove
#

Yeah

shrewd hatch
#

How about on the stems?

#

Just the stem bit

harsh dove
#

I did on mine

#

Just a thin layer on either side

fluid ravine
#

@harsh dove

#

i just swapped the stem

#

with the stock stem

#

it works

#

fine

harsh dove
#

Lmao

#

Nice

fluid ravine
#

so yeah its the tolerance between the stem and keycap

harsh dove
#

Yeah most likely

fluid ravine
#

dont lube that

#

leave it alone

shrewd hatch
#

Ohhh what

#

Isn't that the stem

fluid ravine
#

you only lube the parts in the stabilizers that make contact

harsh dove
#

Yeah that’s where the keycap attaches

#

Don’t need lube on that lol

fluid ravine
#

the whole piece is the stem

shrewd hatch
#

Ah I see

#

So inside here

gaunt linden
# fluid ravine

Yes mine is like that or it kinda goes back up but not to its fullest

harsh dove
#

Yeah the two flat walls

shrewd hatch
#

Gotchu

#

And nothing on the smaller bit?

#

Or just the outwide

#

Side

harsh dove
#

You can do the two flat walls on the side of the smaller bit if you want as well

fluid ravine
harsh dove
#

Yeah like that^

shrewd hatch
#

gaunt linden
#

@fluid ravine could you fix it?

fluid ravine
#

haha

fluid ravine
#

every other modifiers are fine though

#

got them fix

gaunt linden
#

Did you get them fix by doing the method you showed me?

fluid ravine
#

yep

gaunt linden
#

Ok ima try it

fluid ravine
#

how else would i get that method 😂

#

left shift just unlcuky tho

#

welp

harsh dove
#

You talkin about stem swap?

fluid ravine
#

nah

gaunt linden
fluid ravine
#

a fix to the modifiers being stuck

harsh dove
#

For the stabs?

#

oh

fluid ravine
#

yeah

#

the problem i had

fluid ravine
harsh dove
#

Yeah did you have him stem swap?

fluid ravine
#

nah

harsh dove
#

oh

fluid ravine
#

i didnt do it

gaunt linden
#

Ima try it like this and if it doesn’t work ima do the stem swap

harsh dove
#

Did you stem swap on yours to fix it though?

#

Liike I recommended?

fluid ravine
#

nah i just use the stock stab just for the left shift

harsh dove
#

Oh okay, I thought you stem swapped and it worked

fluid ravine
#

think the major difference between the stock and tx ap is the stem

#

sooo

fluid ravine
#

didnt keep it like that

harsh dove
#

ahhhhhh

#

gotcha gotcha

#

what about swapping the tx ap left shift stab stem with another tx ap stab stem ?

fluid ravine
#

WAIT

#

PAUSE

harsh dove
#

instead of a stock stem

fluid ravine
#

SOMETHING AINT RIGHT

#

WOT

#

@stray tiger

sand oasis
#

that is super werid

fluid ravine
#

my dumbass on the backspace

#

anyways

#

wtf...

#

i even swap out the stab for another tx ap stab

#

and it still doesnt work

sand oasis
#

maybe unscrew it out of the case and screw it back

#

little bit of cope never hurt anyone

fluid ravine
#

im using gummy mount

sand oasis
#

oh

#

try it anyway

fluid ravine
#

and i dont have the gummy oring in the thing atm

fluid ravine
sand oasis
#

take it out of the case and put it back in

fluid ravine
#

;-;

#

with wut

#

like

#

with juist gummy mount?

#

trasy mount..

#

no mount

#

something..

#

even no case it still doesnt return

sand oasis
#

oh

#

no point taking it out

#

but when you just lift it up it still returns right

#

ahh yeh it does

#

just rebind left shift to something else

#

assume the switch still works when you press it without any stabs

loud zephyr
stray tiger
#

Flip the key around and see if it still sticks. If yes, try the stock keycap. If it still sticks it's your stabilizer

fluid ravine
#

I did it boys :)

#

I will work on them later but finally got the left shift to work

sand oasis
#

what was the issue?

loud zephyr
#

by this point i have no clue why it happen

#

it was mostly keycap tolerance

Ok thx

opal marten
#

hi, do i need to calibrate my wooting if i use aftermarket he switch like geon raptor ?

bronze grove
#

The keyboard calibrates every time it powers on. But it expects Wooting Lekker switches.

#

If the specifications of your aftermarket switches differ from ours, this may negatively affect performance.

glacial wind
#

since the raptors are stronger magnet it makes the starting point more sensitive by a tad

opal marten
velvet egret
#

Where did people find that the Raptor magnet is stronger than lekker switch magnet?

#

Can’t seem to find any info about the magnets online

They could compared both of them irl realize geon switches are more sensitive @velvet egret

how does he know this

more consistent apparently tho

glacial wind
wind karma
#

oh

glacial wind
#

not sure if it's actually posted anywhere, but basically it's from geon himself

wind karma
#

wouldn't that be a bad thing since you'd have to adjust the actuation point?

glacial wind
#

like I was using 0.1 wasd before and now I use 0.3 and it feels the same as before

wind karma
#

ik probably no one will use that high of an actuation point but it triggers my OCD lol

velvet egret
#

Thank you @glacial wind!

cerulean zealot
wind karma
# cerulean zealot ^

yeah the full travel of the switch is 4mm but the sensors on the PCB will detect it if the actuation point is set to 0.1mm because the magnet in the switch is stronger

#

even if you aren't touching the key?

spice herald
#

that’s why the pro gamer move is to swap the stems

cerulean zealot
#

Franken he switch

wind karma
#

(OCD acting up)

#

you may not acre

#

care*

glacial wind
#

the thing to keep in mind in basically all HE boards is when it says 0.1mm it's rarely actually 0.1mm and has a small buffer amount

#

so for example if a board is set to 0.1 it's probably more like 0.3 to 0.6 depending on the company, switch and how much buffer amount they have

#

it's why if you look up the actual measurement of most keyboards that say 0.1 or 0.2 or whatever it never matches the actual amount (real 0.1mm is an absurdly small amount that most people wouldn't actually use)

#

this is basically known as the 'deadzone' of the he switch, at least that's what geon calls it when he describes the programming and how they're deciding on how precise to actually make the 0.1 setting

wind karma
#

my brain just exploded i read it for 5 minutes and i think i finally got it lol

glacial wind
#

Yeah basically just imagine that every he board has a buffer amount

#

In this case raptors just eat into a bit of that buffer

wind karma
glacial wind
#

Technically I guess? But not by an actual measurement that would matter

#

More adjustability isn’t necessarily good or bad. Technically you could go get a weaker magnet and make the lekkers have worse adjustability in comparison - but no one would do that

wind karma
glacial wind
#

No I mean by having a weaker magnet you’d technically gain more adjustable range because your buffer zone would increase

glacial wind
#

But that would be dumb to change just for that because who cares if you have 4.4mm or adjustment or 4.7mm for example

#

Because no one really uses those end limit levels

crimson sky
#

It's not linear tho

glacial wind
#

Well I’m assuming it would cause the reverse issue to happen if you had a weaker magnet

wind karma
crimson sky
#

Inverse square law

#

If wooting switches are x²

#

Then raptors are (2x)²

#

X being distance the switch is pressed

#

And y being the output force

wind karma
#

i would expect that you would need to adjust the actuation point to be 0.3 on the weaker magnet instead of 0.5 on whatever the lekker is using?

glacial wind
#

yeah I know but for whatever reason it doesn't seem to change the actual press amount

#

i don't know what math/calibration wooting is using but it only seems to change the starting point, haven't noticed any change in actual press stuff beyond that

glacial wind
#

i guess technically you'd end up with the same adjustable distance though but you're moving the starting point

#

aka raptors start at 0.1, lekkers start at 0.3, a weaker magnet would start at 0.5 (these are random numbers just for example)

crimson sky
#

x²=(2y)²

#

X is force of lekkers

#

Uhh sorry

#

It's expected force

glacial wind
crimson sky
#

On the left

#

X an y are base forces of the magnets

crimson sky
#

If it is twice as strong

glacial wind
#

i'd actually be curious about the math of how it's calibrated though

crimson sky
#

Guh lemme get on pc

glacial wind
crimson sky
#

And i can explain

glacial wind
#

you're saying the magnet strength would affect the math during the press as well meaning less press distance

crimson sky
#

It's not twice as strong

wind karma
#

unfortunate for me

glacial wind
#

he's basically saying the magnet math doesn't change in a smooth line

#

aka not linear

#

because magnet stuff doesn't work that way

crimson sky
#

Yea

wind karma
#

oh

crimson sky
#

It's inverse square law

#

Since it is spreading out in 3d space

#

You measure the force on a plane emitted by the magnet essentially

#

And since the plane is scaled up with distance it is squared

glacial wind
#

i guess that might actually be why it only affects starting point and seemingly not the rest of the press depending on how they do the math

crimson sky
#

It would still be an issue

#

Maybe it just isn't twice as strong

#

It just has the 0.1mm setting higher up

glacial wind
#

yeah, you'd have to see how they programmed it I guess to know what happens exactly there

wind karma
#

im going to fall asleep trying to understand this rn

glacial wind
#

for practical usage just make your actuation a little higher if you do use raptors

wind karma
wind karma
#

my main point was uh

#

the wooting software only allows for 4mm of actuation with lekker magnets

#

if the magnet was stronger lets say the first .2mm are not usable so that's 3.8mm of adjustable actuation instead of 4

crimson sky
#

First would always be useable

#

Last .2mm wouldn't be

wind karma
#

oh wait

crimson sky
#

But if you can't use those you are always in the actuation range

glacial wind
#

yeah basically you'd only lose the last bits of the actuation distance, not the start

crimson sky
#

Assuming calibration doesn't prevent that

wind karma
#

i mean from up to down

#

if that makes sense

glacial wind
#

so basically technically yes you're right you might lose something at the end of the range maybe, but it's also the range that basically no one uses so you'd never know or care about that part

#

the only reason you really set something to max actuation press is to not accidentally press it (eg windows key)

wind karma
glacial wind
#

if it's something that really bothers you then you'd just stem swap

#

stem swap = using the lekker magnets anyway

#

but it would be a pretty silly reason to stem swap vs. the actual reasons you'd do a stem swap (such as wanting tighter switch or whatever else)

wind karma
glacial wind
#

yeah there is, but switch is still usable. You basically have like an L65 or L70 switch after stem swap, even if you use the lighter spring

#

you could also technically think of it as potentially gaining 0.2 or whatever though in your settings

#

because your 0.1 setting is more sensitive starting point, so you lose something at the end of the range but gain at the start

wind karma
glacial wind
#

then honestly just don't do the stem swap and keep either the L45 or raptor springs in

proven tendon
#

Assuming it does

glacial wind
#

it's possible to add calibration but it's not in the wooting because it's programmed to work with lekkers specifically, so it'll always assume lekkers

wind karma
proven tendon
#

I would have thought it would just calibrate for whatever magnet

#

That’s kinda dumb

glacial wind
#

it can be done like that but there was no reason for them to do it before since wooting lekker was the only option

#

some upcoming boards will have auto calibration for multiple magnets, such as geon's upcoming pcb calibrates for both types, but it's not really wootings fault that 60he doesn't auto calibrate since the standard didn't exist before and wasn't necessary previously

#

the raptors are straight up a better switch just due to stem wobble being better alone, but it does have slightly worse rgb (although honestly you can just blast the rgb brighter and it's still fine)

wind karma
glacial wind
#

eh if it bothers you go with the L45, but it's honestly a worse switch stability wise

glacial wind
#

yeah and the L50 or whatever they had previously

wind karma
#

when did you try the L45

glacial wind
#

when they released earlier on

wind karma
#

oh

glacial wind
#

i didn't use them though because I think they're too light for my preference

#

went back to L60

#

then raptors afterwards

wind karma
#

i thought L45's and L60's were the same other than stem colour and spring but

#

the L45 sounds like it has less wobble here?

#

45*

#

sorry not 60

glacial wind
#

could just be lube difference, or slight tolerance differences in batches earlier vs later

#

honestly if sound difference like that is going to bother you then you have to be insane to buy L45 over raptors because the difference there is so much bigger

wind karma
#

as long as it doesn't sound wobbly

glacial wind
#

honestly if wobble is at all a factor for you then picking lekker over raptor is crazy talk

glacial wind
#

I believe there were very minor tolerance changes to later batches of switches that did seem to improve wobble a very slight amount (you'll have to look into that though)

#

but that said the lekkers are all still insanely wobbly by all standards

glacial wind
#

if it's going to trigger your ocd or whatever then just buy the L45 honestly. It's the worse switch but it's not like the performance is worse, it's just not going to feel or sound as nice

#

performance wise you don't miss out on anything though

wind karma
#

just a review but i guess it could mean something i dunno

#

3 days ago

glacial wind
#

i doubt it.

glacial wind
#

we have people here with actual video of the L45 vs raptors

wind karma
#

maybe i could deal with the adjustability thing. if the RGB looks normal on 100% brightness then i would get them maybe and springswap

glacial wind
#

if you're hoping your batch of L45 suddenly won't be wobbly then I wouldn't take the bet, it's 100% going to be wobbly

wind karma
#

can you elaborate a bit more on the RGB with the raptors?

glacial wind
#

the top isn't clear so rgb doesn't shine through as well, that's all

wind karma
#

oh

polar girder
#

And it’s tinted red

wind karma
glacial wind
#

you can check videos in here of people with it to compare

agile grove
#

but I've heard it actually isnt that bad

polar girder
#

The red isn’t that bad

agile grove
#

you just need to tinker with it

wind karma
glacial wind
#

yeah it's basically pretty minor and you can adjust the color tint yourself

polar girder
#

I found the diminished brightness to be more problematic

glacial wind
agile grove
#

also geon is coming out with white raptors in march I think

wind karma
wind karma
glacial wind
#

people who don't care about rgb installed their switches upside down because it has less chance of messing with compatibility

agile grove
glacial wind
#

the downside is you basically completely block the rgb if you do that though and only space shows rgb lol

agile grove
#

he said it on discord I think

wind karma
#

i'll wait 3 months and it would hopefully be the ideal switch (minus the actuation thing ill try to forget about that)

agile grove
#

well

#

that is if no better switches come out before then

glacial wind
#

yeah no one has tried out the new jade ones from gateron yet or the upcoming super clack neo ones

wind karma
#

jade?

#

super clack neo?

#

i didn't hear of these so

glacial wind
#

yeah they're only available in china

#

not been sold outside yet

wind karma
#

is it different to their other HE switches for materials and other specs

glacial wind
#

well they'll sound different, but we don't know how they'll be exactly

#

we've only really seen one demo of the neo switches

glacial wind
#

oh it got taken down lol

wind karma
#

cause i heard lekkers sound the same to some other gateron HE switch

wind karma
glacial wind
#

i don't think we've seen the newest gateron switch in use yet

wind karma
glacial wind
#

the one for wooting at least i haven't seen anyone post any video of it's sound

#

the neos sound basically like super clacky switches, but very nice sound - just not everyones cup of tea

#

newer keyboard folk tend to prefer thocky deep sound

wind karma
#

can switches sound 'creamy' or is that a result of other mods

glacial wind
#

Creamy is usually that thock sound, and yeah they can depending on what creamy sound you mean

wind karma
#

theres a video of a modded 60HE that has my preferred sound profile which is creamy

#

with L60s

glacial wind
#

Look up wuque morandi switches on YouTube and that’s kind of what a lot of newer people tend to aim for sound wise

#

It’s that marble kind of foamy thock sound

#

It’s not really doable yet properly though because no he switches sound like that so far

wind karma
glacial wind
#

It’s kind of an issue with he magnet switches in that people haven’t really found a full solution for it to be thocky yet. At least not as thocky as non he switches

agile grove
#

I wonder what exactly is different about HE switches that makes it hard for them to sound thocky?

#

so far I've only seen clacky HE switches

wind karma
#

these both are basically almost perfection to my ears https://youtu.be/CorB0q9QImw?si=tEfG8L3giLR1yNf7

Heyo!

Have another commission build today, and this is, by far, my favorite Tofu65 build yet! I don't even know if the videos do it justice, but this is one of the cleanest builds I have done thus far, in feel, sound, and aesthetics. Specs are below!

If you want really deep thock you’ll want cerakey keycaps as well but then it’s a whole rabbit hole of needing heavier springs to manage them

Laying on my couch with my feet off the edge and curling my toes

halcyon obsidian
#

what is the thocciest build minus cerakeys

shrewd hatch
#

Hey @harsh dove what stabliziers u reckon would be best to go with? Was thinking maybe tx ap

harsh dove
#

Like when I was stem swapping, I had to pull the lekker stems out of the housing because they were just stuck in there lol , not like literally stuck but the tightness is so tight that it just sits in the top housing

#

If you’ve ever done switch tape mod, it feels like that but if you did one too many layers

harsh dove
#

And what’s wrong with your current stabs?

shrewd hatch
#

Honestly not sure, spent the whole day yesterday messing with them to try and make em good but they're sounding terribe

#

Somehow mushy and rattly at the same time

halcyon obsidian
#

like
raptors
gummy mount
pc plate
poron switch pads
tempest mod w/ (moleskin and masking tape)
tx stabs
alumaze foam

what else for thocc?

shrewd hatch
#

Kinda just wanting a fresh start

harsh dove
shrewd hatch
harsh dove
#

Clips in are different than plate mount

shrewd hatch
#

Oh really?

harsh dove
#

I know what you mean but I’m just letting you know when you say clip ins most will assume you mean PCB clip ins

shrewd hatch
#

what's the ones that wooting use

#

Ahh ok

harsh dove
#

They use plate mount on the wooting60HE but they use screw in stabs on the Module

shrewd hatch
#

👍

#

U think tx aps are a good choice?

harsh dove
#

But if you’re not happy with your stabs, you can try like holee mod, bandaid mod, etc

#

And yeah tx Ap are nice just cause they have tight tolerances so there’s no need to mod them

shrewd hatch
#

Yeah I did holee but ended up taking it out, fingers too shaky to get a good fit in them didn't sound or feel tight

harsh dove
#

But I wouldn’t buy them unless you’re not happy with your stabs after tuning

#

You can try plumbers mod instead of holee

shrewd hatch
#

Might be worth giving that a shot I guess, I'll check it out

harsh dove
#

You just take plumbers tape /teflon tape and wrap 2-3 layers around the ends of the wire that insert into the stem

shrewd hatch
#

Alright might try that soon tyvm

harsh dove
#

Yeah no problem

shrewd hatch
#

Are u using stock stabs yourself?

harsh dove
#

No

shrewd hatch
#

What are you running

harsh dove
#

TX AP

shrewd hatch
#

Right

shrewd hatch
#

Or best to wipe it off

harsh dove
#

Wipe grease off, wrap the wire ends then reapply grease

shrewd hatch
#

Aight sounds good, appreciate it

limpid crown
#

Guys, should i lube the springs or follow the lubing guide from YT where Calder don't lube them ?

fluid ravine
#

Just lube the housing and stem and call it day

#

No rattle

#

The space bar needs tuning, so yeah I use grease on that

#

But overall really good stabs

limpid crown
fluid ravine
#

The ends of the springs are fine

#

I personally lube the whole thing

#

Cus I'm like that

harsh dove
#

I throw my springs in a petri dish with superlube oil and shake em around

wind karma
#

does the type of lube on the spring matter

#

is 105 good

limpid crown
#

If i where to throw them on a bag, i only have the Krytox 205g from wooting

harsh dove
#

I would just do both ends of the springs with 205g0, not the whole thing

wind karma
harsh dove
#

Yeah

wind karma
#

alright

harsh dove
#

It’ll get lubed from the switch stem if you lubed that or the bottom housing

wind karma

Has anyone had success doing the gummy o-ring mod with the silicone pad? Im having a tough time fitting the module back into my tofu redux and am wondering if need to use the foam pad instead or if I got the wrong o-ring (too thick maybe?)

harsh dove
#

I’ve tried it

#

Use the foam or use nothing

#

Also have the keep in mind, the harder is it to get in, the harder it’s going to be to get out

#

So you don’t want it to be super hard to get in

#

Otherwise you’ll probably snap your keyboard in half in anger to get it out

sleek trench
#

sounds like a plan! thanks for the feedback, ill switch over to using the foam 😄

foam sounds better anywaysdogekek

the rvmse scroll wheel is pretty dark

sounds pretty good

marble shuttle
#

and foamless

#

its insane

#

iam wondering with wooting foam

sweet cedar
#

wouldnt hurt to try it out

marble shuttle
#

actually you dont need foam with that premium case

sweet cedar
#

its tray mount righr

marble shuttle
#

there is none standoffs on that

sweet cedar
#

oh really

#

so would u gummy o ring mount

marble shuttle
#

you have to make plate for it

sweet cedar
#

oh okay

marble shuttle
#

and there is a file which is you can send manifacturer they can do it

sweet cedar
#

what r the material options

#

for custom plates

marble shuttle
#

alu

#

in my country i can only found alu material

sweet cedar
#

alu would probably sound great anyways in the frog

#

im gonna use the pc plate in the redux

marble shuttle
#

i didnt like pc plate on wooting tbh

#

stock one came great in my ears

halcyon obsidian
#

it prolly has to do with aluminum in plastic Vs pc in aluminium

#

because pc in stock its just plastic in plastic

marble shuttle
#

no actually because of switches

#

lekkers are ass

#

no matter what you do still acoustic will same even if you change the plates

harsh dove
#

Lekkers are amazing

marble shuttle
#

iam wondering geons

#

irl

😎

sand oasis

so tempted to order the raptors

they added on aliexpress too

or look 💀

Mainly feel is diff

to me

then we seperate the categories

Just clack, cream, and thock

I kinda like that marbly sound

like a sweet spot inbetween cream and thock

I would say an inbetween of clack and thock

Fair enough, people do seem to say the Raptors are more clack

what are the benefits of not screwing inthe screw by the spacebar?

#

or, the difference I should say

fluid ravine

in pochizo we trust

@fluid ravine my keyboard now works but the keycaps feel heavy and don’t come Back up fully

fluid ravine
#

even fixing my left shift it still doesnt return all the way last night
spent this morning spamming it

halcyon obsidian
# harsh dove

I still think the frankenswitch has a little more thock

fluid ravine
#

now it works perfectly fine

#

nah the frank switch is poppier

quiet bay
#

poppier and cleaner sound

halcyon obsidian
#

I'm so excited to do my wooting build but I still got like another month until the module ships out

sweet cedar
#

i have everything else

#

but the module

halcyon obsidian
#

I already got my tofu/weight

sweet cedar
#

same

#

and i have my switches and keycaps

halcyon obsidian
#

yeah I got the caps too

#

I just need to order the raptors, some more lube cause im low, some switch pads, and I'll probably buy some other modding stuff like the o-ring, tape, stab pads but all thats pretty cheap

#

but I got like entire month to purchase it all so I'm not pressed

sweet cedar
#

im probably keeping mine pretty simple

#

the only other things i migth do is change out stabs

#

but im gonna stick with screw ins

halcyon obsidian
#

yeah I got tx ap rev4s already coming

#

cause you can't gummy mount the screw ins

sweet cedar
#

i was debating buying the gateron ink screw ins but the module comes with the normal gateron screw ins so idk if there would be a big difference there

harsh dove
sweet cedar
#

and by the time my module comes hopefully the new gateron he switches r out

halcyon obsidian
#

yeah I was also waiting to order my raptors because a little closer to time since a lot of he innovation seems to keep happening quickly

sweet cedar
#

yea exactly there will be so much new stuff coming this year

halcyon obsidian
#

but at the same time switches are like 40 dollars for a set of 60-70 so I ain't too pressed and can always be swapped out

valid sun
#

Has anyone modded a two he ?

agile delta
#

hii, anyone know the raw data frame size to the wooting 60 he? c:
pliss, if anyone can say me, thx so much!

austere creek
#

depends on how many keys are pressed

#

i also assume you just mean the keyboard interface

halcyon obsidian
#

so what is the new gateron switch coming out?

#

since we talked about a voting for the best sounding wooting build I made this!
