#

I wonder if any EU stores will have in stock for order cuz shipping from USA ill be paying a lot extra for shipping and customs

halcyon obsidian
velvet egret
#

Yeah im gonna wait anyways till others have them for sound tests

halcyon obsidian
#

these just dropped on gateron yesterday I think

velvet egret
#

I do really enjoy the colour combo

halcyon obsidian
#

for some reason the got posted on alibaba like 5 days ago

velvet egret
#

leaked early i guess :;

#

:p

halcyon obsidian
#

someone on reddit snagged them on alibaba

#

like 4-5 days ago

#

Lekker L45 with Krytox 205G0 lube.

#

Overall, the responsiveness on the L45's after lube feels better than the L60's.

#

Did you change the springs?

pulsar ravine
#

L45 springs

#

I'll probably order new caps for it as these are just what I had on the board pre-mod. Also ordered a custom tape mod from KBDFans.

cinder merlin
#

It is, if you don't pull push down the key when you install the keycap.

#

I just want to know if the Carbon Fiber ANSI Plate from kbdfans works with the Alumaze60 case. Are there any issues during installation? If you've done this before, do you have any pictures to share? Many thanks 🙏🏻

There's really no need to open a support thread, when your questions were already answered here, @wide edge

Whenever I’m doing holes mod for the stabs, do I have to cut something off first?

do i need to remove rhe dampener between the pcb and the plate in order to use gummy oring mount?

Stem is interesting

harsh dove
old swallow
#

yeah, but that is where the keycaps sits, so how would that make a tactile bump. seems like it would just make it weaker and more wobbly

harsh dove
#

Not in the literal sense a tactile bump, that's just what it looks like lol

old swallow
#

yeah, true

harsh dove
#

also the rails are tapered off near the top

old swallow
#

yeah, idk if that part is just extra

harsh dove
#

Lekkers taper it off in a similar way, the Raptors also but with Raptors its more rounded off than squared

#

Yes

#

With a pair of tweezers

#

I don't pull out the wire like he does tho, I just grab both stab housing and slide it out

#

tofu redux case?

#

ur probably fine without it

Did you install the brass standoff?

#

I'm sitting here going mad thinking about keyboard mods

wait till the 29th and you head will explode of ideas

halcyon obsidian
#

ain't no way ur gonna do this to me

#

has anyone tried ixpe foam for the pcb?

#

or as switch pads

Can somebody help me with my spacebar. Cant find anyway to quiet this guy down

harsh dove
#

The idea is to get it to sound like a helicopter

quiet bay
dense flower
#

Anyone know whether I can order just the Raptor HE springs? Not too fussy about the other components of the switch. The 42-52g actuation force is optimal for me.

hard hawk
#

Don’t have desk mate or kilmat

#

Any alternatives?

halcyon obsidian
#

cut masking tape and fill some layer of it in there?

hard hawk
#

I could just straight up use a towel

halcyon obsidian
#

like cut 3 layers of masking tape put it in there decide if you want more or less

bronze grove
#

The alumaze case came with two little brass coloured standoffs.

#

You screw one in where the spacebar screw goes, before putting the PCB in.

hard hawk
halcyon obsidian
#

really any thing to eat sound and fill space ideally easily removable if you dont like it

bronze grove
#

THOSE ARE STANDOFFS xD

#

Notice the screw shaped hole on the top

#

Yes. That is a standoff.

thin cargo
#

Hi guys any idea where I can find AZERTY key caps ?

bronze grove
#

Because some PCBs (not the 60HE) uses both standoff locations.

halcyon obsidian
#

I see a lot of builders in here use poron pads but have any tried the pe foam mod?

bronze grove
#

Correct.

harsh dove
#

There's another optional spot near the middle

ahh idk then

quiet bay
halcyon obsidian
#

So I've been trying to think of different mods to do and how I want to configure my wooting whenever it comes in and been in this chat a lot and watching videos scroll thru forms and so far this is the config I plan to use when my module comes in and it probably looks similar to other builds in here

Case: Tofu Redux
Pcb: wooting+
Plate: Polycarbonate
Switches: raptors or Jades (lubed w/205g0)
Stabs: TX AP Rev 4s (lubed w/205go/dielectric grease on wire)
Mods:
-O-ring gummy mount
-Tempest mod (2 layer masking/1 layer moleskin)
-pe/ixpe switch pads
-polyfill in case
-stock pcb foam

quiet bay
#

will buy them…eventually

velvet egret
#

which is the prefered stab? TX AP stabs or this FL CMMK v3?

quiet bay
#

Tx ap stabs are the safer option tbh since fl cmmks arent as well known

agile grove
#

but if thats what you want then go for it, looks good. the only thing is switch pads, which may interfere with the contact of the switches.

#

also polyfill is overrated imo, foam is fine

weary tree
#

what contact

agile grove
quiet bay
#

I’d only worry if it adjusted the seating of the switches

ebon hull
#

I used credit card with Paypal protection so that's not what I'm worried about but I just want to try them.

glossy pagoda
#

Gateron is not scamming you lol

#

Though their specific product page for that one switch type is indeed spazzing out

#

The rest of their site works

velvet egret
#

Mark doing overtime at 23:16pm

#

Yh their site has been spazzing all day

ebon hull
# glossy pagoda Gateron is not scamming you lol

Yeah like I said I doubt I get 'scammed', but I wonder if there's anything wrong on their end that deems not ready to ship and they recall all the shipments. Or they halted all the order at the moment. The listing on alibaba still works though

glossy pagoda
#

Once something gets shipped, there's no recalling it

#

Just gets yeeted out into the void and you hope it delivers or returns instead of just disappearing forever

#

source: I deal with shipping cases every day

bright spruce
#

ye I ordered some dbrand skins and they got lost lol

#

absolute cancer

halcyon obsidian
# agile grove personally I wouldnt reccomend raptors or jades, I'd wait for more options

raptors seem perfectly good and if they are still the best option by the time my module ships then I will go with them, and in terms of the switch pads it shouldn't interfere as they pretty thin and the base foam is pretty thick, which thick foams tend to also mute deeper sounds vs polyfill mutes high pitchsounds because it isn't quite as dense leaving more thocc

agile grove
#

again your money your choice

#

just my personal opinion

halcyon obsidian
#

I just base it off of whats best atm

agile grove
#

and lekkers are cheap and good enough

halcyon obsidian
#

the only lekkers that are close or maybe better is the ppl who have done the switch tape mod

shrewd hatch
sand oasis
#

have you swapped switches with another key and see if that changes anything

agile grove
#

also the foam the module comes with absorbs low and high sounds

shrewd hatch
sand oasis
shrewd hatch
#

Yeah ive taken them out and put them back in if thats what u mean

sand oasis
#

yeh

#

idk thats weird

#

does it work on the right hand side or is it only when you press it directly

#

you could try taking apart the stabalisers and reputing them back together if you havent

shrewd hatch
#

Only directly in the center haha, very annoying for when I play games or anything as id normally just click on the left side

sand oasis
#

did you try reassembling the stab

#

you could also try swapping the housing from another stab

quiet bay
#

that is most likely why

#

when pressing anywhere on your spacebar all sides should go down evenly

shrewd hatch
#

Yeah it only goes down on the side I press, I might pick up a new set of stabilizers and perhaps that should fix it?

quiet bay
shrewd hatch
#

Yep

sand oasis
#

have you tried another space bar

shrewd hatch
#

Must be stabs that are messed up, no issues with the switch and I'm using the stock wooting spacebar as the 6.25u one I got with my keycap set dosent even fit for some reason

quiet bay
#

ur stabs are weird

#

stabs are supposed to make the key balanced 😭

shrewd hatch
#

Yea I thought this was normal with only the side I push going down haha

#

First proper keyboard only even used some cheapo ones before this so don't really know any different

quiet bay
shrewd hatch
#

Yeah they were the ones I was planning on ^

#

I'll reckon Igive them I shot and see if that fixes it, worse case it won't but I'll have some nice stabs atleast haha

its funny how we have the same conversation every other day xD

#

honestly, im waiting for some better he switches to come out and spring swap them

loud zephyr
#

I was just imagining someone buying the new Wooting and using those switches for the 60HE. If they were nicer sounding and can't be bought separately, if that makes sense

void hollow
#

which new wooting?

#

v2 or the upcoming 75%

loud zephyr
#

Wooting TKL or 200%

#

most likely 75%

#

or none of the above

i am confused

Anyone know if there are any third parties that sell springs for the wooting 60he? I’m looking for an actuation force in between L45 and L60. Ideally start force of 40g with an end force of 50-55g.

#

Yo can someone please recommend me some stabilizers? I’m using the durock ones, the problem is there is a rattle with the enter key, like no matter what

bronze grove
#

There's no meaningful difference between plate mounted stabs

silver pecan
#

I’m not even exaggerating, I bought the stabilizers twice, switched the keycap (helped a little bit), changed the switch about 20 times, unlubed and relubed the stems and housing and wire, no change

silver pecan
#

Because there’s no way my enter key should still rattle, I’ve done pretty much everything except a bandaid mod

#

Are all enter keys like this?

sacred harness
#

what keycaps should i get i have a red allumaze case

bronze grove
#

And how did you manage to make your Alumaze case red? 👀

glacial wind
#

Modding doesn't mean you can automatically make a lekker switch as tight as a good custom keyboard switch - it's why people recommend not changing stabs from the stock ones, it doesn't really gain you anything if your problem is the switch tolerances itself

silver pecan
#

It doesn’t do it on the other stabilizers

#

What if I just got different switches? Does it mess with the wooting or no

glacial wind
silver pecan
#

Oh yeah the lekkers have like magnets right

glacial wind
#

honestly i don't even know what we're supposed to be seeing in your video too

#

it looks like any other enter key on any other wooting

#

if you really care this much about rattly sound you should get raptors and do the stem swap (or potentially the new gaterons but we don't know how those perform yet)

glacial wind
#

it's just a different switch

pale aspen
#

bearlt impossible to pull out keycap

dense flower
dense flower

crimson sky
silver pecan
#

i see people lubing the stems but barely

#

and for the wire, should i lube it a lot before i insert it

#

also is there a better way to unlube the stabs? it takes a long time using a papertowel and i still cant get all of it off, which might be another issue

glacial wind
#

I'm still confused at what you're trying to fix with your enter key, there was nothing weird in the video

silver pecan
#

video doesnt really pick it up, but in person its very noticeable

#

also feels weird

glacial wind
#

the same sound as your non stab keys?

silver pecan
#

no

#

theres no way im tripping either

#

last time, the issue was that it sounded loud on one side

#

i fixed it by getting new stabs and lubing them properly

#

but the enter key always feels and sounds either rattly or mushy, depending on what switch i use

#

by switch i mean just taking out one of the other switches on the kb

glacial wind
#

it's a thinner key than your space/shift/backspace so it's not going to be the same

silver pecan
#

and i noticed that when i changed the enter stab and switch with the backspace, the sound was still the same in that area

silver pecan
glacial wind
#

if you look at your enter key it's super short and smaller compared to your other stab keys

#

it's never going to be the same

bronze grove
#

Que?

#

It's the same as a shift key.

#

Stabilizer is the same size as every other one on the keyboard save for spacebar.

bronze grove
#

Why would it be a different height?

#

You're talking about the profile curvature?

glacial wind
#

i mean the keycap itself

#

yeah

bronze grove
#

On ANSI it matches the row of keys it's on.

#

So... not really?

glacial wind
#

yeah but he's comparing to other row keys and saying it doesn't sound right

bronze grove
#

The difference in the curvature is not huge. It's a slight angle change 😄

glacial wind
#

other stabs are r4, r5 and r1 and the keycap themselves are different as well in thickness

#

like backspace is one of the chunky ones being r1

#

well thickness is a bad way to say, more like chunky i guess would be the word since the actual wall thickness is the same

pale aspen
#

longer keycap = more mass = low freuncy sound

finite gate
#

Well ofc enter doesnt sounf the same

#

More room in keycap (taller vs shorter keys) = more resonate = deep sound

glacial wind
finite gate
#

enter is middle row

#

Which is short

#

so enter had less space to resonate

glacial wind
#

which is why i'm confused at why he's so focused on his enter key which sounds perfectly fine

finite gate
#

= less deep sound

finite gate
#

Just get xda

#

even then keycap size changes sound

silver pecan
#

It’s so annoying

#

Cause like a slight sound will cheese me out and I’ll hear it forever

#

Anyways I went back and lubed the wire like way more, sounds and feels better

#

Only thing is there a slight rattle on the left, like u can’t notice it in the video, might just have to live with it

#

And I’m never actually spamming enter so it’s fine lol

glacial wind
#

Get a syringe with stab lube

#

Then you just syringe in a tiny bit of lube into the housing without needing to take apart stabs

crimson sky
#

if you are in EU I woud recommend this

silver pecan
silver pecan
#

/NA

crimson sky
#

I mean you can get xht bdz from an NA vendor (canada is kinda bad atm in regards to vendors) and a syringe

silver pecan
#

This work?

crimson sky
#

that stuff is a bit hard to handle though

#

viscosity isn't far from butter KEKW

#

nah 205g0 isn't viscous enough

silver pecan
#

But that’s what I’m using for all the other stabs/switches

crimson sky
crimson sky
#

but not ideal for stabs

silver pecan
#

For the wire it’s different obv

crimson sky
#

a lot of people do

#

yea it's fine for the plastic on plastic contact

#

but I would just do that with the stab fully assembled

#

just go in there with a brush

silver pecan
#

So ur saying I dont need the syringe

crimson sky
#

no

#

wait I list what I do

finite gate
crimson sky
#
  1. clip stems (I use cherry stabs)
  2. balance wires (if required)
  3. assemble stabs
  4. put them on the PCB
  5. squeeze in xht BDZ on top of the wire in the stab housing from both ends
  6. add 205g0 with a brush on the sides of the stab stem
finite gate
#

what i do is i wrap ends of the wire in tape, insert into lightly lubed housing, and stem is also lightly lubed. if there is still tick/rattle i just take a syringe and squeeze krytox into the wire hole

crimson sky
#

imo 205g0 is too liquid for wires

finite gate
#

subjective

#

stabs with tight tolerances should use 205

#

cherry stabs and other loose stabs like durocks should use dielectric or bdz

crimson sky
finite gate
#

do you are have stupid

crimson sky
#

no

finite gate
#

staebies and tx ap

crimson sky
#

don't have tight tolerances

finite gate
#

bruh

crimson sky
#

for tight tolerances you would need a curved wire

silver pecan
#

I’m using durock stabs

crimson sky
#

which nobody does

finite gate
#

the amount of space the stem can move in the housing is called tolerance.

#

.....

silver pecan
#

For the wire I use the shit that comes with the wooting

#

Idk the name but it’s wire grease

crimson sky
finite gate
#

yeah bdz is for wire

#

so is dielectric

crimson sky
#

yes

finite gate
#

tight stabs should use 205

#

or it will be mushy

crimson sky
silver pecan
#

Yo so should I get the syringe I sent or no

crimson sky
#

just don't dunk it in

finite gate
#

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

crimson sky
#

you just do a bit of bdz from both ends

#

and it will be just fine

finite gate
#

if you use bdz on tx ap its basically just dielectric

#

or staebies

glacial wind
finite gate
#

bdz is much thicker than 205

silver pecan
glacial wind
#

and it makes it easy to add more if you put in too little

silver pecan
#

And I can’t get that one because it’s 205g0 and I need the one for the wire right?

glacial wind
#

and fill it with lube yourself

silver pecan
#

What’s the one I sent for though

glacial wind
#

because some people want 205g0 and syringe is easy to dispense

silver pecan
#

Ahh okay I see thanks

crimson sky
#

and is much more likely to need reapplying

silver pecan
#

If I get a syringe with bdz, do I have to make sure it’s like the same one I’m using on the wires currently?

glacial wind
#

ideally you'd use the same, although some people mix because they're lazy

silver pecan
#

Yeah cause that’s the one I use

glacial wind
#

bdz is way thicker than most other lubes

silver pecan
glacial wind
#

well if you're this ocd i would clean off your stabs first

crimson sky
#

you should anyways

silver pecan
#

Brooo it takes a minute and u can’t even get it all off

glacial wind
#

then slowly syringe in bdz bit by bit until you're happy

crimson sky
#

and alcohol

silver pecan
#

Okay I’ll prolly just do that tbh

crimson sky
silver pecan
#

So I should just wipe the housing stem and wire off right?

crimson sky
#

ujst make sure to not overlube

crimson sky
silver pecan
#

Should I handlube the wire before I use the syringe

crimson sky
#

nah

#

I put them in dry

#

on cherry stabs

silver pecan
#

Damn okay

#

And I just keep inserting lube till there’s no rattle?

glacial wind
#

you can do either, put a bit on with brush then add more later or just add more later, people do it both ways

silver pecan
#

Also for the housing, should I put enough lube so that i can see it or should it just be a glare

#

What y’all think ab this

crimson sky
#

never used it, got no reason to switch myself

silver pecan
crimson sky
#

PeepoShrug idk

#

personally have not used it

#

don't have a 60he yet

#

should get my module next month Clueless

glacial wind
crimson sky
#

prob makes it a bit more foolproof

#

with bdz you can overlube more easily

#

you really don't need much

silver pecan
#

Damn is it worth it to cop

#

It takes a minute to deliver

#

But I mean if it completely eliminates the rattle then it’s worth

#

Does it?

pale aspen
#

Geon said they can

crimson sky
#

You absolutely can

stray tiger
#

That quote was in reference to a HE board, not all hotswap boards in general. There are currently no HE boards available with multi spacebar options.

crimson sky
#

Yea because nobody even thought of supporting 7u

#

Technically the genesis tkl does multiple spacebar options

pale aspen
#

geon said they can in HE

bronze grove
#

It's not rocket science.

You put in two sensors, two switches and put them on the same keybind.

#

Want optional split, and you do three sensors, and either two switches or just one. Throw in some sensor average.

pale aspen
#

i never said it is rocket science tho

bronze grove
#

I never said you did.

#

My point is - It's not a technical challenge. It's one of want.

pale aspen
#

ok next tkl , 75 and update 60%

#

plewse do hotswap 7u

#

but offer 6.25u layout keycap as default

#

prevuilt keycap*

(yes I mean harvested, I stole it from an old puppet)

I was thinking about pulling some from an a pillow.

agile grove
halcyon obsidian
#

lmao

agile grove
#

but depends on the pillow because it might be a little too dense

#

and might fall apart more meaning more of a mess

stray otter
#

Sometimes I'm too dense

halcyon obsidian
#

I have a big ol bag of polyfill in my closet I got for like 5 dollars

agile grove
stray otter
#

SC

agile grove
#

I'd have so much I'll never use ever

#

unless I make another keyboard

halcyon obsidian
#

I was about to say

#

you say that until you build another

#

or another

#

and then ur glad you have it

agile grove
#

but I got so much polyfill from that one puppet I could fill the entire case or maybe even more, im sure I have enough for at least 2 more builds

halcyon obsidian
#

oh yeah

agile grove
#

tbh I dont think I'll be building another keeb anytime soon tho, I'm going all out on my wooting since it'll be my main board for quite a while. I was never really into keebs before I joined this server, now I just wanna make this wooting sound amazing and leave the hobby before I go bankrupt.

#

the last change I'll make will be once more switches come out and I'll pick the one I like most

#

maybe every now and then I'll buy some new switches if I like how they sound, but im sticking with lekkers for now

agile grove
#

you cant do this to me

halcyon obsidian
#

you're going bankrupt

agile grove
#

my wallet will cry

halcyon obsidian
#

youll make more

agile grove
#

I cant!

halcyon obsidian
#

this is my "endgame"

#

and then there is another

#

and another

#

this will satisfy ur quinch for awhile and then youll get that keyboard bug again

jagged ermine
#

i want another keyboard for typing

#

the lack of arrow keys, home, and end is really bothering me

#

so i was thinking of building another one..

halcyon obsidian
jagged ermine
#

did u build it

halcyon obsidian
halcyon obsidian
jagged ermine
#

i tried brown switches and i wanted to kill my keyboard every time i used it, so ill stick to linear

#

i used red all my life

halcyon obsidian
#

browns are the worst tactile to ever be done

jagged ermine
#

on a 100% mechanical keyboard but that one went to hell because i didnt maintain it

halcyon obsidian
#

maybe the worst switch

jagged ermine
#

it traumatized me

#

so hard that i bought wooting on impulse for typing

#

💀

halcyon obsidian
#

so you might like others, saying you've used browns isnt very fair to other tactiles lol

jagged ermine
#

but now its not practical

#

i was thinking of getting silent switches

#

like akko fairy

halcyon obsidian
#

oh yeah

#

rn I got a monsgeek m1, with alpaca v2s, durlok alpaca edition stabs, pc plate, and poly fill

#

force break and tape mod too

#

and I got gmk blue samurais on it

jagged ermine
#

hmmm

#

im new to this

#

so i dont understand that much

#

pc plate is polycarbonate plate for more deeper sound, i know that

halcyon obsidian
#

pretty much a smooth linear switch in a 75% case with sound dampening mods

jagged ermine
#

polyfill is polyester thing that also mutes sound..,

#

then idk the rest

#

tape mod about the same too

#

i want dampness too

halcyon obsidian
#

yeah!

jagged ermine
#

is this all i need? i read somewhere that akko fairy doesnt need hand lube

harsh dove
#

Gonna get a Wooting tattoo on my left butt cheek too

#

They've updated their factory lube so it's better or at least the L60 and L45 are in-line now

#

I hand lube all switches personally

#

Unless you don't have time or lazy

bronze grove
#

If you're the kind of person who asks "do I need to lube?", then you need to lube and and all switches.

#

Cause no amount of factory application will ever match doing it by hand.

#

Haha exactly

# glad sandal

Nice build, but the pricing is the reason I don’t like pre builds

#

Could save a lot of money

#

For example that motherboard your paying $450 for is half the price now

#

Basically making you pay as if those parts were brand new on release

quiet bay
harsh dove
#

Don't wanna be that guy but I made an upgraded version of your build

#

for $1500 cheaper

#

Could buy a 4090 with that money

harsh dove
#

Can also get windows for like $25

building a custom opens you to sales, bundles, deals, etc

instead of $160

These are CAD prices

if you take out the 4070 you could build one for under 2k

I just did small upgrades to what he had on the pre built

hell you could build one for under 1k if you do it just right

halcyon obsidian

#

This is a 1k build I did recently for a friend

my pre-built was on sale for $1000

was 1.6k

got it as a bday gift or christmas present from my dad

Yeah I just don't like seeing people spend butt loads on PC parts if they can get them cheaper or something better

agile grove
fluid ravine
#

idk if 1.6k is the right price for my parts tbh

#

kinda odd

harsh dove
#

It's an $80 case

#

but yeah you could go even cheaper

you could get it around 200 cheaper if you get a 3060 or 3070 on sale

Last update for my 60 he

Does it matter what Keycaps i use for the Wooting 60 he?

i mean in what sense?

#

for your feel yes, for sound somewhat, for performance no?

median lava

Does anyone know where i can get a set of pbt blanks?

radiant berry
#

does it effect the performance if i use the keycaps from my old keyboard? @obsidian dagger

obsidian dagger

no

need mx type keycaps (ones with cross for the switch stem)

not the ones for like membrane keyboards

sadly will be giving away this keyboard to a friend tho 😔

#

do you guys have a way to not use screws for the plate and pcb?

#

i tried but the keys become inconsistent

void hollow
#

gummy mount?

fluid ravine
fluid ravine
#

i want one :(

quiet bay
#

Tactile clacky builds r so… satisfying

#

Gotta fix my stabs tho I didnt mod them

#

they suck rn

kind helm
#

my gummy o ring is on the way, right now i just let the pcb sit in the case with just cotton and tape beneath

void hollow
#

oh mb i read it wrongly

#

so the sound across the keyboard is inconsistent eh

kind helm
#

not the sound, the contact of key press

#

i think because now below the case with the cotton i have on there the press is some what soft, so some key doesnt function properly

void hollow
#

that seems unlikely tbh, if im not wrong what matters is the distance between the plate and the pcb

#

what is below the case?

kind helm
#

wait i meant below the pcb

#

mb

#

yea i think when i press, the pcb flexes and bent a bit, but the plate itself doesnt bent, the contact is no good especially for esc key on the top left

void hollow
#

well, if you have the pcb properly screwed to the case* there shouldn't really be much flex?

kind helm
#

yea i was asking if people have a method to get away with screwing the plate with pcb

void hollow
#

is the cotton in your case causing flex on your pcb?

kind helm
#

no flex is caused by not having the screws, i was trying to see if i can have it be functional without the screws, because screws and tightness make the keyboard sound worse imo

void hollow
#

i am confused

finite gate
#

You literallt secured it to something solid

kind helm
#

for normal keyboards that is typically what i do to get away with some of that stiffness, but i guess analog keyboard cant work with that

finite gate
#

??

#

Normal keyboards have flex (unless tray)

void hollow
finite gate
#

wooting can be o ringed

kind helm
#

i was hoping to see if people have a way to not use the screws between the pcb and plate and have the board be functional

finite gate
#

Gummy o ring mount

void hollow
#

you wouldn't want to do that on a wooting tbh

#

he meant pcb and playe

finite gate
#

ehh

void hollow
#

plate*

finite gate
#

?

void hollow
#

basically u know the module

kind helm
#

yea gave it a try

finite gate
#

yep

void hollow
#

he wants to not use screws

finite gate
#

Pc plate wont make your keyboard flex if its tray mount

void hollow
#

i dont think u should mess with that as it will cause even more inconsistency

finite gate
#

OH THE PCB TO PLATE

void hollow
#

yeah

finite gate
#

Just use tape lol

#

thought it was plate/pcb to case

void hollow
#

ah tape, xD

kind helm
#

blobaww you are so smart

#

how you do it? around the side?

void hollow
#

use something that isnt toxic to your pcb to attempt it i guess

kind helm
#

cause plate is not touching the pcb

finite gate
#

If the switches sit well then they should keep the pcb and plate loosely secured

kind helm
#

painters tape i think is fine

void hollow
#

you have to tightly secure the middle of your pcb and plate so well to not have inconsistencies

kind helm
#

the holy tape mod has been there for a while

finite gate
#

basically what keybored did to his womier

finite gate
#

no plate foam?? just use the tape xD

void hollow
#

wait

kind helm
#

maybe worth a try but i dont trust it ngl

void hollow
#

arent you worried about the inconsistency it will cause on the lekker switches?

finite gate
kind helm
#

cause i tried just having the switches loosely secured the plate as you mentioned

#

but it falls apart pretty easily

void hollow
#

what does that mean

kind helm
#

so just no screws, let the switches kinda keep the plate and pcb together

#

works with normal 5pin swithces

void hollow
#

remember that there are 8 screws to keep the pcb and plate properly secured together

kind helm
#

but nah man this pcb way too expensive for me to mess it up like that

#

LMAO

void hollow
#

it is to keep the distance between the plate and pcb as consistent as possible throughout the board, in which my point being you are unlikely to get such precise with consistency with alternatives like double sided foam tape as well as tape

kind helm
#

yea i agree

void hollow
#

and on the problem of you experiencing inconsistency, is it because ur pcb is squished up against the cotton in the case which causes the flex?

kind helm
#

the inconsistency is caused me trying to not use the screws, which like you said caused problem

void hollow
#

ahh

kind helm
#

arriving tmr, cant wait :3

#

shouldve brought the module version, didnt see it when i brought the 60he, screw-in is superior 😦

kind helm
#

then if the mount is wobbly just tape the plate to make it tighter

finite gate
kind helm
#

but not as elegant as screw in

finite gate
#

Unless ur also using their other parts

kind helm
#

idk i dont trust wires from other companies i guess

finite gate
#

advantage of platemounts is no need to disassemble to tune

finite gate
#

just balance them

kind helm
#

me have skill issue

finite gate
#

Tx ap, chery, c3, durocks best wires

kind helm
#

:V

#

i havent tried though tbh

#

i saw one keybored videos he said he has good experience with owlab then i started using them, and they are pretty good from my experience too

finite gate
#

owlab stabs good

kind helm
#

i used to use ptfe tape to adjust the wire, but that is not as good compare to just using good wires

finite gate
#

Can always use bandaids instead

kind helm
#

same issue

finite gate
#

wrap ends of wire, and put below wire on pcb

kind helm
#

good wire with lube always the best

#

with bandaids or ptfe essentially you cant press the key all the way down anymore

#

because they just block it a tiny bit

For the Raptor HE Is the operating force the same thing as start force? Curious whether there’s a possibility of start force being lighter than the operating force of 42g

at least it sounds like it doesn't have the chatter sound like gen 1 gaterons

Sounds good damn

frosty sentinel
#

The chatter is my biggest gripe.. he also has an FR4 plate in his. With a PC plate it should deepen it a little more as well

pale aspen

i rarely find any boards that sound good with FR4 plate tho

#

i wish he test PC and CF

Honestly I’d be down to just go fr4 plus super clacky he switches if one day we have a clacky option. Just embrace the full clack

from this info about the magnetic jades can anyone figure out if it will mess with the wooting actuation like if the magnetic is stronger or weaker

also is the bottom out force 37g?

yea idk anyone who uses .1 anyways

and thats with an fr4 plate and we dont if they are lubed

I’ll have my Jades by this week or next and send a better sound test

glacial wind

Wonder if the closure of the bottom housing helped with that

#

I would think so

halcyon obsidian
#

the guy who did the sound test made a reddit post and that is factory lube

polar girder
#

Nice yeah curious jade vs raptor

glacial wind
#

The baseline sound for he switches is just not thocky so you’re constantly trying to push it there with tape and other stuff

harsh dove
#

Wonder if jades are stem swappable

#

Doesn’t seem like it

halcyon obsidian
harsh dove
#

Well that and the way the stem is designed

#

Has those little bumps

pale aspen
#

i dont get less travel distance

#

you would have fewer range to play with

#

isnt that consider inferior to 4.0mm?

#

but probably depend on usage

halcyon obsidian
glacial wind
#

Less travel distance isn’t bad if you don’t use the full distance anyway

#

Unless you specifically needed to set 4.0 for some reason

#

probably driving game

i saw people want long pole too lol

#

do they mean long magnet? dogenek

if i were to design a custom case for my wooting module, what do u guys think would be the best mounting method

any cheap aluminum case for my wooting?

is that not the cheapest alu case compatible with wooting

marsh saffron
#

It's like 20$ cheaper than wootings aluminum for me

#

Pretty sure there are other chinesium ones that are cheaper

#

Don't remember the names

wispy peak
#

its like 50$ cheaper for me

Poseidon?

#

Tofu without weight is quite a bit cheaper than alumaze

#

With weight it's like 20$ less for me

#
  • i need to pay import and duty fees on tofu
left patrol
#

Tofu without weight and with shipping ist about 80$

sweet cedar
#

yea they have 25 dollar shipping to us

#

its a little over a 100 with weight and shipping

#

to the us at least

marsh saffron
#

For me in Canada, a tofu cost 150+USD

#

With weight

#

Without it's about 130

sweet cedar
#

at that price point its not worth it

left patrol
#

They have discount codes right now

sweet cedar
#

i lowkey wanna get a frog mini but they dont have black cases anymore plus i would have to get a custom plate made

marsh saffron
#

Alumaze is 202$ CAD for me

#

Tofu with weight is like 180 cad

sweet cedar
#

i dont own alumaze but in my opinion looks wise the tofu beats it

#

and it weighs more

#

but its all up to preference

marsh saffron
#

Only thing I dislike about the alumaze is the insert

#

I wish they had color options for it

#

And removing it just leaves an ugly gap

sweet cedar
#

i have gripes about basically any of the cases that work with the wooting

marsh saffron
#

I think the strap instantly makes the alumaze my only choice for cases though

sweet cedar
#

thats why i kinda want to make my own case

marsh saffron
#

I love the look of the strap

loud zephyr
#

Tofu should only be 50usd. It's not even that good and reminds me of a door stopper imo

marsh saffron
#

Yeah tofu is way overpriced for me

#

20$ more I can get alumaze

Which is higher quality, looks better, and has the strap

I'm waiting a few months still for QC to get better

What's so special about the ulx?

marsh saffron
#

Nothing much

Aside from material

It's a carbon composite

i like the gold accent color too

marsh saffron
#

Other than that it's not special

sweet cedar
#

itll match my keycaps

loud zephyr

#

and im so sick of using razer software

Only thing I'm worried about ulx is the width

Ulx large is a bit skinnier than id like

i still have a 3600x and im wondering if i should switch to 5800x and “max out” the am4 platform

It's worth it

or if i should just wait and get a 7800x later

marsh saffron
#

1000%

#

bc am5 is the future

marsh saffron
#

Well, depends

loud zephyr
marsh saffron
#

I didn't wanna spend the money for a new mobo, so 5800x3d was the only sensible option

but upgrading to 5800x3d is much cheaper then buying a new mobo, ram and 7800x3d

marsh saffron

and it still performs well
