[marsh saffron]

And the 5800x3d still kicks ass

[sweet cedar]

yea definitelt still strong going into 2024

[harsh dove]

If you’re already on AM4 , just get a 5800X3D, if you have the money to basically build a new system, then go AM5

[marsh saffron]

Yeah that's about how I looked at it

I didn't wanna spend another 700-1000$ so I just stuck am4

[loud zephyr]

Gasket mount or steal the Frog Mini plate and build your own case around that

[sweet cedar]

yea i think ill just upgrade my cpu and maybe buy 16gb more ram

[sweet cedar]

thats what i was thinking

[harsh dove]

Yeah DDR5 prices are good now but motherboard and GPU prices are eh, can find some nice deals tho depending on what you’re looking for

[marsh saffron]

I'm canadian so am5 prices were especially rough for me

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[marsh saffron]

New mobo + CPU alone would've been like 800-1000$

Let alone ddr5 prices at the time

[harsh dove]

Yeah easily

[loud zephyr]

At least modern PC's will/should last you a long time, unless you love playing the latest games with every blade of grass visible

[harsh dove]

[sweet cedar]

im so glad i built my pc in late 2019 right before prices skrocketed

[marsh saffron]

So long as I get 240+fps stable

I'm not gonna need an upgrade

[sweet cedar]

my favorite games r so intensive🥲

[marsh saffron]

I'll stay 1080p as long as necessary to achieve 240fps

[ember marten]

everyone drop their specs

[harsh dove]

Just waiting on that 5090 and 8K 360Hz Ultrawide

[marsh saffron]

5800x3d, 6900xt, 32gb 3600mhz ram, only 1tb nvme

[loud zephyr]

Ahh. I always presume everyone just plays Fortnite or CS on the lowest possible settings; despite having a decent PC lol

[harsh dove]

No

[ember marten]

amazon accidently sent me extra ram

now i have too much in my system

[sweet cedar]

lucky

[marsh saffron]

Peripherals wise I got xg2431, a bunch of lamzu mice, my 60he, and my glass and cloth pad

And my forgotten gpx

It's there too ...

[sweet cedar]

my favorite game as of rn is cyberpunk and my 3060 and 3600x cry everytime i open it up

[harsh dove]

Nah, I play Minecraft with a 4090

[loud zephyr]

The loading times are fast so not all is lost

But yeah that game needs a nuclear power plant at the highest settings

[marsh saffron]

What's your fps with shaders

I get like 200+ on 32 render/simulation distance with really intensive shaders

[harsh dove]

Lmao I haven’t tried modded Minecraft yet tbh but I want too

[marsh saffron]

Shaders aren't really mods tbh

[harsh dove]

Do like 100+ mods

Right yeah

Just filters really

[marsh saffron]

With 130+ mods I got like 90-200fps

With the same shaders

[harsh dove]

I’m modding the Witcher 3 currently

[marsh saffron]

That was on forge though so shit optimization

On fabric I still get good fps with tons of mods

[harsh dove]

One of my Witcher 3 screenshots

[loud zephyr]

my GPU temps just skyrocketed opening that image

[harsh dove]

Better quality if opened in browser

[loud zephyr]

Insane

[marsh saffron]

I wonder what my temps are

[tawdry tree]

#💬│general #🔌│tech #🎮│game #archived_keebs_talk

[marsh saffron]

I never actually checked

[harsh dove]

dang we're in trouble

[loud zephyr]

already found my first mod for the TKL

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/frog-yeah-no-yeah-no-disagree-gif-16846087569315350011

[tawdry tree]

😂😂😂 nah but I checked here an hour ago and y’all were chatting then

[loud zephyr]

you love it

[harsh dove]

oops

[tawdry tree]

all good man I do it all the time as well 🤣

[marsh saffron]

I kind of want Cera keys

But idk

I feel like I wouldn't like super smooth keycaps

[loud zephyr]

I've never tried smooth caps but plan on getting POM blanks soon

[tawdry tree]

my friend has them and liked them a lot when he got them but a month in and not so much anymore

[marsh saffron]

I like the sound, but I don't think I'd like the feel

[tawdry tree]

“Too slippery” he said

[marsh saffron]

Although they look very good

[tawdry tree]

they look fantastic

[harsh dove]

I don't think cera keys would be good for gaming which is why I don't get them

[marsh saffron]

Hm, that's exactly what I thought they'd be like thank you for saving me 200$

If I was rich enough for a second keyboard just for typing, id pickup Cera keys

[tawdry tree]

to be fair, he games a lot, competitively so I can imagine ceras with sweat being nearly unusable

[marsh saffron]

Yeah I play competitively (although less now) on fps so I likely wouldn't like them

But God damn do they ever look amazing

[tawdry tree]

Aesthetics and functionality rarely go hand in hand. So just get 2 keyboards lmao

[cursive comet]

yea i meant cheap

chinese or sum

[marsh saffron]

The 60he seems to be a very good balance of the two

Which usually is quite rare

Although I have 0 experience with customs

The 60he has a very nice typing feel

[tawdry tree]

true, the 60he is very close to perfection of both worlds but not quite there yet

[loud zephyr]

Poseidon GH60, I think that's the name and is pretty cheap

[cursive comet]

have you tried it?

[tawdry tree]

Stock it’s good but sound and switch wobbleness is not great

[marsh saffron]

Certainly more fps oriented than typing, but it certainly provides a good experience for anyone not accustomed to custom keyboards

[marsh saffron]

Lubing fixed the sound for me, although they do have a fair amount of wobble yeah

[cursive comet]

its 80$ tho

[loud zephyr]

No but there's a few on the #1070668460905988106 channel, perhaps ask those dudes. I'm sure it's decent for what you pay

[loud zephyr]

Oh damn. I swear it was cheaper than that

[cursive comet]

its 80$ atleast on aliexpress :(

[tawdry tree]

There are a few far better switches than the lekkers and more to come in the future

[loud zephyr]

I wonder if they have boxing day sales, certainly keep an eye out

[tawdry tree]

Does anyone know if the Gateron Jades and the Gateron 2.0s are the same switch?

[marsh saffron]

Yeah I can't wait for more 60he compatible switches to come out

[harsh dove]

the G Pros?

[tawdry tree]

The ones in the ATK68

[marsh saffron]

I debated about picking up some raptors but I think I'm gonna wait for a lot more options to come out

[torn summit]

https://gmkkeycap.com/product/130-keys-gmk-the-first-love-large-set-japanese-english-custom-keycap/ anyone knows if these are trust worthy/works with wooting ?

[marsh saffron]

Just so I can really pick and choose what I want

[harsh dove]

I doubt it

[polar girder]

Yeah just wait 6 months

2.0’s also being used in the new keychron HE

[marsh saffron]

So much tech I wanna buy, such little money to do it with

[sweet cedar]

i think they r clones but they should work in wooting

[sweet cedar]

real

[marsh saffron]

I wanna mod my 60he, + I want a ulx

[tawdry tree]

I wouldn’t buy raptors, their tolerances are better than the lekker for sure but the Gateron Jades sound A LOT better.

[marsh saffron]

My wallet ain't ready for it

[harsh dove]

I have Jades on the way so I'll do some sound test for you guys

[marsh saffron]

Yeah I seen some people saying they weren't entirely worth it yet

[torn summit]

Damn they're pretty pricey for clones

[tawdry tree]

😂😂😂 don’t buy the ulx yet wait for finalmouse to fix their sh.t

[torn summit]

But at the same time they're the only purple keycaps i could find

[marsh saffron]

Oh dw I am

[torn summit]

Purple keycaps are so rare dawg

[marsh saffron]

I'm waiting for at least 10 batches

[harsh dove]

Finalmouse QC is sad

[marsh saffron]

When finalmouse gets QC in check

I shall acquire a ulx large

And hopefully the shape isn't too skinny

[tawdry tree]

Same

[marsh saffron]

I use a Atlantis og v2

And the ulx is skinnier than it

[sweet cedar]

im excited to hear yalls sound tests

[loud zephyr]

GMK has plenty

[loud zephyr]

I don't need a fancy keyboard, this site lets me play with colour combinations

https://keyboardsimulator.xyz/

[torn summit]

Also last question i also wanna get a coiled cable and i found a epomaker one, is epomaker any good in term of cables ?

[ember marten]

this is so cool lowkey

[tawdry tree]

You heard the ATK68 sound test? It sounds really good.

[sweet cedar]

no i havent

is it jades?

or other new gaterons

[loud zephyr]

It's kinda neat for sure

[sweet cedar]

bc ik gateron is releasing a couple new he switches soon

but idk if anyone has them yet

besides the jades which r already our

out

[ember marten]

whats the hype behind coiled cables

do they just look cool

[sweet cedar]

yea

[marsh saffron]

Yeah

[harsh dove]

Straight Cables >

[torn summit]

Yeah thats it

[marsh saffron]

Personally I think straight are better

[harsh dove]

Straight is just cleaner imo

[marsh saffron]

My cable is just a sleek black cable that came with my lamzu mice

Works great, looks clean

[torn summit]

Also i want a coiled cable cuz i can also easily find a purple coiled cable

[harsh dove]

I don't have a problem with coiled tho but I prefer straight

[tawdry tree]

https://youtu.be/9IM3qH1H96c?si=X4mOWdS1U-Y2vg4t

[sweet cedar]

if u want one that will guarenteed work with wooting and their tachyon mode then wokting makes coiled cables

[torn summit]

Oh ong ?

[marsh saffron]

My mouse cable works with tachyon on 100% brightness

Any high quality cable will work

[tawdry tree]

Thing is, it says the ATK68 has the Gateron 2.0s which aren’t listed on Gateron’s Store. I don’t know if the Jades and 2.0s are the same switch

[loud zephyr]

all your cables are weak, enter the cucumber

[harsh dove]

from yesterday lmao

[marsh saffron]

That's a chunky boy

[torn summit]

Oh yeah they're cool

[marsh saffron]

For such a thin cable too🤣

[harsh dove]

this was actually a good typing test video

Sounded good

[torn summit]

Only problem is that i would love a purple coiled cable to matxh the rest of my dream keyboard

Oh well

Also what the hell is the real gmk keycaps site theres like 30 of them i have no idea which is the real one

[harsh dove]

This is the new dual rail switch

[loud zephyr]

her builds are generally pretty good overall

[tawdry tree]

I ordered both the ATK68 and the Jades. It’d be awesome if they’re different.

[harsh dove]

They are

[sweet cedar]

in the video the switches look purple

so probably the 2.0s

[harsh dove]

If this is the stock switch that he showed in that video, these are not Jades

these are the new dual rail HE switches

[tawdry tree]

That I didn’t understand when watching. Where the fk is the magnet at? 😂😂 Is it high up?

[sweet cedar]

the jades sound deeper then the ones in the atk68 imo

[harsh dove]

Thats what im questioning right now

Lemme look further into it

[tawdry tree]

Hahaha

I’ll see when I get them

I bought the atk in hopes the switches were different

and I’ll check compatibility with the 60he when I get it

[sweet cedar]

i think ill wait for gateron to release the rest of their he switches which hopefully shouldnt take too long and then ill make a decision

do we know if the dual rails even work w wooting yet

all we know is jades work right

[tawdry tree]

just wait till more sound tests pop up in this discord

[tawdry tree]

I kind of doubt it as it looks like the magnet is not at all in the same location as in the lekkers

but I’ll see

[sweet cedar]

yea thats what i was thinking

[tawdry tree]

I should get it Jan 21st

[sweet cedar]

if it turns out the dual rails dont work then ill just get the jades

bc they sound great from what ive heard so far

[tawdry tree]

Thing with the jades is

their bottom is closed

so you get 0.1-3.5 mm

travel

I don’t think it matters much but their could be some compromises I haven’t thought of

[harsh dove]

@tawdry tree

This all I got so far

[marsh saffron]

You wouldn't be able to properly use dks

Because you can't adjust the bottom out and it's 3.6mm

[torn summit]

Aaaaah i cant find french keycaps seller

[tawdry tree]

I think if those switches are different from Jades and compatible with most HE keyboards on the market Gateron would’ve already put them up for sale but they haven’t..

[tawdry tree]

Good point

[ember marten]

im out here debating if i wanna drop 100 on a tofu redux and weight

[polar girder]

2,0’s look fire

[ember marten]

i feel like i have no rush rn since they keyboard wont get here tll next month

[marsh saffron]

I wouldn't get the weight just to save money

[ember marten]

at that point do you think the wooting weight would be worth it

[tawdry tree]

I send Gateron a dm on their store, when they reply I’ll let u know

[tawdry tree]

I asked the difference and compatibility of the two(?) switches

[marsh saffron]

Wooting weight?

[ember marten]

the case

my bad

the alu one wooting offers

[torn summit]

I gotta find cool purple keycaps that'll fit with the wooting and ship to france why am i making this harder for myself

[tawdry tree]

It’s more about aesthetics than weight

[ember marten]

i really just want something firm and hefty on my desk lowkey

i like the feel of it

[tawdry tree]

Good luck mate, finding the keycaps you want is always hard asf

[loud zephyr]

Nah save that money for the shipping instead. Stock Tofu heavy enough

[tawdry tree]

If you like the look of both the tofu and the alumaze just get the cheaper one, both will be firm on your desk.

[loud zephyr]

US store but you might like

Actual lifesaver omg

[sweet cedar]

dks?

[tawdry tree]

dynamic keystoke

ohhh

i forgot ab that

[tawdry tree]

it’s such an underrated feature but it’s not quite out of the “gimic” zone yet

[torn summit]

Oh my days cherry taro looks so cool 😻

I didn't really like the blue/yellow accent on some keys but apparently they're separate

The base is just black and purple

[loud zephyr]

I have their Stone keycaps, definitely good quality imo

[torn summit]

I now have the absolute perfect keyboard build in mind

Wooting 60he with tofu60 redux (the pre-order purple one not the ecoating purple) and cherry taro

Just need to save up and overtime it'll come together

[ember marten]

did you order the preorder case yet

[untold wigeon]

pre order case?

[torn summit]

Nope im a minor and i use my allowance to buy things for my setup and right now i dont have the money to buy the case

Im going to do it another day if stocks last

[ember marten]

very valid i wish you the best of luck saving up my goat i know your setup will look sick

[torn summit]

Also keychron got really cheap coiled cable holy

[torn summit]

Thank you so much man, I cant wait to have my endgame setup 🙏

[untold wigeon]

Infinity war setup

[ember marten]

be sure to share pictures once you get it all setup looking forward to it 🤝

[stray otter]

Are we?

[torn summit]

I'm definitely gonna be making updates everytime i get a new piece for my setup man 🤝

[untold wigeon]

We are so excited!

[untold wigeon]

So true

[silver pecan]

Yo guys I’m comparing two different types of switches that I barely lubed differently, I want it sound like the L, anyone know why it sounds so clicky?

Is it the spring?

[static tendon]

To confirm, are you wanting to sound more “thocky” rather than “clacky”?

[silver pecan]

yes

[static tendon]

Spring has nothing to do with it in this case. What switches are in it? The lekkar switch?

[silver pecan]

yes

[static tendon]

Gotcha, what plate do you have, case and caps?

The plate along with foam will make the most noticeable difference. You can test different foams to increase the “thock” sound instead of having it clack

[silver pecan]

kdbfans tofu 60 redux

gmk samurai keycaps

its just the switch

[static tendon]

Just the stock steel plate from wooting as well the. I assume?

[silver pecan]

the majority of the kb is thocky

yes

im trying to unlube it and relube it but im not sure why that switch is so clacky

a couple of others are like that too

[static tendon]

Got it, if you’re really chasing a thockier sound I would recommend to get some foams inside the PCB to help deepen the sound. Getting the new polycarbonate plate from wooting will also help deepen the sound. Your gmk keycaps along with case will help keep things solid so those are good choices

The lube can also help but this keyboard naturally sounds higher pitched and I assume it’s from the lekkar switches. Unfortunately there’s not that much else you can do but people on here have managed to get it to sound deep and thocky. You can also try checking #1070668460905988106 for suggestions

[silver pecan]

no i get that

but im saying its just a switch or two that are clacky

i wanna know how i have to lube them to make them thocky

theyre not consistent

[untold wigeon]

YouTube guide

[silver pecan]

where

[untold wigeon]

YouTube

[silver pecan]

because ive searched everywhere

send the video then

[untold wigeon]

No

I’m not interested in lubing

[silver pecan]

okay then dont respond lmao

[untold wigeon]

Where do you think a guide will be?

YOUTUBE

[silver pecan]

listen find me a video and send it then for my specific case

[untold wigeon]

Find it for ur specific case itself

[silver pecan]

yeah, i cant idiot

[untold wigeon]

Then mystery unsolvable dumbass

Stay unlubed and mad

[static tendon]

@silver pecan starting at 12:10 he goes over a sound test. The sound will likely not change that much but he also has a tofu redux here for reference https://youtu.be/511O9X1C1Zo?si=qkJKv4-eV_HNOKkq

[silver pecan]

obviously it isnt dumbass

[untold wigeon]

Then solve it

[silver pecan]

ive already seen this

u dont understand bro, my keyboard is thocky, its just like 4 switches that sound completely different. my question is how cna i lube the switches to make them more thocky instead of clacky

[untold wigeon]

Find a guide

[silver pecan]

like what part of the switch needs to be lubed more

[silver pecan]

bro get off ur phone lmao

[untold wigeon]

The part that is clacky

[static tendon]

I see. Perhaps those switches are near one of the stand offs. This can impact sound signature since wooting has more of them on the plate itself

[normal schooner]

either have some meaningful input or just dont

[silver pecan]

what?

[static tendon]

Just some thoughts to consider. If you have extra switches you can replace them and see if that changes the sound. Like take your “A” switch and put it into the switch that sounds clackier and see if that changes it or if the sound stays the same

[normal schooner]

you can not make a switch go thock with lube. try to get a pc plate. thats the only thing that works

[silver pecan]

then why do some switches sound different than the others

like completely different

[normal schooner]

i dont know

[silver pecan]

i dont think u guys get what im asking, lemme phrase it better sorry

[static tendon]

The stand offs in referring to are here

There may be a stand off offs near those higher pitched switches you’re experiencing. Just something to consider

[silver pecan]

most of my switches sound good and they sound deep, but there are a couple that are like very loud. this is because i lubed them differently. all i wanna know is how i can lube them to make them sound less clacky in the video i sent, like quieter. where do i have to put the lube, the housing, stem, spring? where should i lube more

[silver pecan]

no thats not it

thats not the issue man

the issue is the switch

its the switch, i just wanna know how to lube it to make it sound less loud

like the video i sent

it has nothing to do with the case the keycaps nothing its the switch

all i wanna know is where to lube more on the switch

[vivid gulch]

How many mm is the poron plate foam?

[static tendon]

Got it, you can mess around with the lubing process and line these parts here

Be mindful of the amount of lube added but these parts can help deepen the sound signature a bit. It may not make a large difference though. It’s worth a shot if you’re chasing the deeper sound

[silver pecan]

already tried that, maybe its because its hard to unlube it so it sounds worse each time i relube?

[static tendon]

How did you unlube? I’ve unlubed all my switches in the past using a very light amount of hand soap and that helped remove most of it

[silver pecan]

oh really?

im just using a paper towel

its not 100%

thats prolly why

[static tendon]

Yeah it helps remove the lube in certain spots

You can also use a Q tip to help remove the more difficult to reach spots

[silver pecan]

can i just take apart the switch and wash it with soap

and water

[static tendon]

You can try but these switches are slightly difference from regular mechanical switches. The main part is the stem that will have the most amount of the lube.

[silver pecan]

so then what should i do instead

[static tendon]

I’m not sure if this would impact the magnet here if rinsing with light water. If anyone wants to chip in here for help

[silver pecan]

honestly i just bought 24 of them

will prolly just wait to lube those

[static tendon]

Oh perfect. Maybe just swap it out and see if that makes any difference as well

[silver pecan]

swap what out

[static tendon]

In the past I’ve had switches noticeably clackier than other switches. Could be a bad batch

[static tendon]

The switches

[silver pecan]

bro no lol its just how i lubed it. thats all

i lubed it wrong

it has nothing to do with the batch

i underlubed some parts of the switch

[static tendon]

Gotcha, then re-lubing another switch can also be a solution

[silver pecan]

yes which is what i was asking

trust me bro i know its the switch lol

[static tendon]

Makes sense. I’d probably go that route. Otherwise you can try cleaning/re-lubing the higher pitched switches to just test it out

Since you have spares^

[silver pecan]

i dont have them yet

ill just lube them properly when i get them i guess

[static tendon]

Yeah for sure. Feel free to keep us updated. Curious if it will make a noticeable change as well

[static tendon]

If you're interested. GMK Vaporwave is up for pre order as well. Has a purple theme

[fluid ravine]

Oh i see what you mean
ive had that issue a few times

[pale aspen]

what are you cooking

probably only server think tofu is inferior to alumaz

[fluid ravine]

It might've been inconsistent lubing
you can just relube the whole switch properly (Lube every part of the switch if you're concerned)
Over time the lube will break just like every other switch

[static tendon]

To be fair, they are very similarly priced when ordering the module. The discount you get makes the alumaze less than the Tofu60 (with brass weight)

[marsh saffron]

tofu looks extremely basic

alumaze has the strap

only thing i dislike about the alumaze is the accent, i wish they had multiple colors for it

[fluid ravine]

yeah just go for looks @marsh saffron

[static tendon]

Agreed. Not a fan of gold

Doesn’t match anything of mine

[fluid ravine]

i wouldnt compare the material quality when comparing as they are both really good

but when it comes to you and your setup
looks is key

so if you want a alumaze
then get a alumaze

👍

[fluid ravine]

maybe in the future we get some more options :^

[marsh saffron]

that would be cool

[static tendon]

@fluid ravine if you were to choose between the 2, would you go for alumaze or tofu redux?

[fluid ravine]

damn dont do me like that 😂

Honestly like both
I dont mind either one tbh

But for whats worth my money and all
id buy tofu

[pale aspen]

alumaz is thinner , lighter and has brass accent for strap which is ugly for me

me probably tend more to minimal aesthetic

alumaze only make sense with heavy discount or cheaper MSRP

i remember when alumaze reveal lol

was underwhleming

wooting gonna make $$ anyway, look at module price

cant wait till custom scene release HE pcb with good software

and it will be the time for wooting to step up thier game

[static tendon]

I can agree with that. But the tofu does have a higher type angle which steered me away

I’ll likely end up getting both and sell the one I’m not into as much 🤷‍♂️

[fluid ravine]

whats the degree?

[loud zephyr]

To think someone was actually hired to design a wedge shape and pay top dollar is pretty hilarious. Yeah minimalism and all that but it's fucking basic

[static tendon]

Yeah excited to see that as well but wooting is still miles ahead of any other company right now. May not see these for a while

[static tendon]

Alumaze 4°
Tofu Redux 7°

[fluid ravine]

whats the angles with the other feets on the alumaze

[static tendon]

7° is usually what some gaming keyboards use for max height. It seems quite steep

[static tendon]

Alumaze goes up to I believe 7.5°

[fluid ravine]

really...

wait hold on

lemme check smth

[static tendon]

Holding

[fluid ravine]

damn

i use to have the hyperx origin 60
that shi has 3, 7, 11 degrees

i remember using the 11

[loud zephyr]

Don't worry about the angle, arthiritis doesn't kick in till you're 80 years old

[fluid ravine]

💀

i didnt mind it tbh

i like 7

[loud zephyr]

chad

[fluid ravine]

i would go 7.5 no problem

[loud zephyr]

69 even

[fluid ravine]

fr

😂

[static tendon]

Yeah gotcha. For sure a preference thing. But no doubt the tofu offers much better bang for buck with the added weight and reduced price

Typing angle is more of a priority to me though so who knows. I’ll eventually try both out

[fluid ravine]

ye

i wonder what a wrist rest would feel like tbh

[static tendon]

@fluid ravine are you still using stock wooting case? Or do you have something else?

[fluid ravine]

Tirade gifted me a GH60 Alu case

[static tendon]

I’ve used them in the past but didn’t like it. Once I removed it I never went back. Looks way cleaner without a wrist rest too

[fluid ravine]

Tofu V1 clone

[static tendon]

Wow tirade is awesome for that. Huge respect

[fluid ravine]

yep
we love pops :)

[loud zephyr]

Soon he'll be tired of his Derivative kb and it'll be all yours

[fluid ravine]

😂

maybe one day i can return the favor

[loud zephyr]

It's all about giving

[static tendon]

What are the main games most of the wooting owners play here?

[pale aspen]

RPCS3

lately

[pale aspen]

depend on front height and keycap

[static tendon]

Cherry profile

[pale aspen]

for my finger 5.5 is a bit too low

my fonger need a bit ti reach

8 degree make it peefect

like no need to move finger

[static tendon]

Hmm gotcha, didn't think about that. I have long fingers so maybe that wouldn't help lol

[pale aspen]

if you search on internet

0 or negative is best

i cant imagine negative angle like typing down the hill lol

[stray otter]

FPS. Mostly modern and retro boomer shooters.

Some CS although not much since 2 is kinda meh still.

[static tendon]

Gotcha that makes sense

[polar girder]

CS2

[harsh dove]

Might be getting the Jades early

🤞

[proven tendon]

not very scientific but

raptor feels way better and imo sounds better

[silver pecan]

properly?

im gonna try and overlube them a bit

whats a part of the switch that i def should not overlube

stem?

[harsh dove]

https://youtu.be/oMihSMgndEQ?si=b9RUVDHfm3c1zlnF

[silver pecan]

guys is getting the brass plate from kdbfans worth it if i already tapemodded it

also, when handlubing the springs, should i be lubing the inide of it or just the outside

[torn summit]

honestly looks so cool but 165 euros holy

[finite gate]

7 is not very high

iirc most gamer boards go up to 12

[finite gate]

7 is extremely comfortable to type on

if you dont like it, bumpons exist

[wet hazel]

To have a more 'Thock' sound, which mods I'll need to do to the stock 60he?
Wood/Aluminum Tofu case? The new Gateron V2 HE jade switches? Lubbing and O-Rings? Maybe the FR4 plate and poron?

[torn summit]

btw guys every wooting features works no matter the cable right ? I'm looking to get a keychron coiled cable or something like that but i'm scared some features wont work properly with cheaper cables

[finite gate]

Get the pc plate, add foam, and case is up to you

Switches dont really make difference, but idk about HE switches

Lubing helsps

So does switching for a thick pbt keycap set or cerakey

[torn summit]

https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/comments/18p4yd4/magnetic_jade_switch_sound_testing/ the new switches does have difference compared to the stock lekker switches ngl

[finite gate]

Tachyon may not work

[torn summit]

tachyon is like the no rgb gamer mode right ?

[finite gate]

well obvs

idk

But turn rgb to 70% or below and you will be fine

[torn summit]

yeah i dont really if theres like a .1ms difference between tachyon and normal i wont feel it

as long as rapid trigger works i'll be fine

from wooting site "Tachyon mode is a special mode that lowers the input latency to <1ms"

[round sparrow]

Yeah raptors are better, my problem with them is that they aren't compatible with mx profiles, also they are worse for rgb if you care about that. Obviously the stronger magnet might also make things more difficult to adjust and lead to errors

They say they've tested them enough on the wooting and that they are about 0,2mm stronger than the wooting, so if you want a 0,1 mm input you have to set the wooting software to 0,3

[pale aspen]

wooting has dead zone anyway

probably wont matter much

Raptor is best for now

until i get new jade

but Raptor price still better than Jade

[pale aspen]

wdym by not compatible with mx profile?

[round sparrow]

Cherry mx

[pale aspen]

?

it has mx stem

[pale aspen]

it means MX pcb

aka coventional mechanical keyboar

[round sparrow]

Oh ok

[pale aspen]

they state that because they also have MX raptor

light and low travel linear switch for conventional pcb

[round sparrow]

Also what are the jade switches called?

[pale aspen]

Hall Effect switch

if i understand you correctly

[round sparrow]

No lol

What brand are they from

[pale aspen]

Gateron

[round sparrow]

https://youtu.be/uv47LMQMXn8?si=yN4UONUb1pnDe4RZ

They are very new not easy to find videos on them

[sand oasis]

Yeh few people have ordered them from here so should be more sound tests in a couple weeks

[round sparrow]

Im more concerned how compatible they are with the wooting

[wet hazel]

https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-magic-jade-switch?VariantsId=10767

50 packs sold from the website

So few people bought them

Also they are selling those on AliExpress

• Operation Force: 30±7gf
• Total Travel: 3.5±0.2mm
• Initial magnetic flux: 120±15Gs
• Bottom-out magnetic flux: 800±80Gs
• Pre Travel: Freely setting

The 3.5 instead of 4.0 from Lekker maybe it's an issue

[tawdry tree]

DKS won’t work

But obviously, a closed switch’s sound profile is vastly different from an open one.

The soundtest I’ve heard sounds great but I don’t trust it. As I would expect an open switch to blast more sound into the well dampened case whereas the closed switch would reflect more outwards towards the user.

[halcyon obsidian]

For those concerned about the compatibility it should still work just instead of being able to set the switch to 4mm you can only go to 3.5mm so unless you just really want that extra .5 mm of distance than it’s not an issue

[austere creek]

not how this works.

theres a magnetic flux curve the firmware expects and with the specs gateron gives you can have wildly different results at almost +-100Gs of travel end flux

thats basically like 3.x to 4mm of magnetic flux (our switches are 900Gs when fully pressed)

so im not sure if they just didnt have a good testing setup or something but the range is quite large

[halcyon obsidian]

What’s the initial magnetic flux?

As long as you set the active point to being before 3.5 mm shouldn’t it still perform correctly

[austere creek]

our initial flux should be around 100 i believe

[austere creek]

depends. if you get the 800Gs spot on yes

otherwise itll thing you pressed slightly lower/higher despite you bottoming out at 3.5mm

we can accomodate a different starting flux it just gets out of hand when the endflux isnt as expected

while it may have changed with simons scanning improvements we dont do dynamic bottom out force detection and if we did this problem would be even worse

[wet hazel]

So it doesn't seem like a good idea to put the new Gateron jade switches, unless there is some more testing around them

[stray tiger]

@austere creek Ive been traveling for Christmas but was going to comment on this as well. One thing people don't seem to consider is that while the PCB will calibrate during power-on, that calibration is still based on a switches that fall within a pretty tight range/tolerance/measurements.

[polar girder]

So HE switches aren’t like Pokémon then?

[stray tiger]

I mean that doesnt mean I wont test them out for science...

[polar girder]

We thinking housing or stem might have bigger impact?

[left glade]

idk

My job with stabilizers is done for today

My back is hurting but it worth the job i have done

[stray tiger]

If your back is hurting after doing stabs, you're doing it wrong

[left glade]

no i was just sitting in a uncomfortable position

[left glade]

for the first time in my life i was modding something in a mechanical keyboard and it took me literally an hour to mod it, i was messing up everything but anyways i finished and im glad of the result

[harsh dove]

Good morning and happy holidays everyone

[harsh dove]

Yes they are

I need them all

https://tenor.com/view/ash-ketchum-pokemon-gotta-catch-gif-26030418

[harsh dove]

From the guy who made the video, dunno how “right” he is but I’m testing them out myself anyway this week

[proper ice]

can you still lube the l45's or should you not overlube

[normal schooner]

you can still lube the 45s

[round sparrow]

https://youtu.be/6Gx6wjqEtUs?si=cGtFOBfFaF-gH_5K

[harsh dove]

What’s the purpose of this?

I have these switches already

[round sparrow]

Best of both worlds

Better sound, less stem wobble

[harsh dove]

Yeah I’ve already done that but what’s the point of sending me that lol? We were talking about the magnetic Jade switches

[round sparrow]

How they compare to these frankenswitches is yet to be seen

[harsh dove]

Ah okay I get what you’re tryna say

Yeah I have the raptors and have done various test with them

Should get the jades this week and will do more test

[round sparrow]

If you could compare them once the jade ones arrive

[harsh dove]

Yeah definitely

[round sparrow]

Thx

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m using the Lekktor 45’s rn. Curious about these jades and the gateron 2.0

At least I still think those two are diff

[white relic]

yoooo hello everyone so I just got my wooting 60he and I decided to mod it and it was the very first time that I have done done this and overall it is amazing and turned out great but I ran into a couple of problems and I was wondering if anyone could help me with them

#1 I accidentally broke the stabs for the spacebar which is not a massive deal but I was wondering if I could buy a replacement for them or something like that

[stray tiger]

Yes any plate mount stabs should do.

[white relic]

#2 I am using the kbd fans tofu 60 redux and I got the carbon fiber plate to go with it and it looks amazing but I realized that the screws the screw from the bottom if the pcb don't crew into anything so I didn't put them in so I don't have anything holding the mount and the pcb together so I was wondering if I should get some washers to help hold them together or something like that

[white relic]

do you have any recs for brands or a website I should get them from

[polar girder]

Yeah I think I’m gonna have to pick up some PCB mount clip ins so I can still gummy mount it when module comes

[white relic]

#3 I was using a tiny hand held screw driver that I had laying around and it killed my hands so I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a good one because it took me over 2 hours trying to do the burger mount which I finally did but holy I do not recommend if you do not have the right supply's

[velvet egret]

Personally I use an Ifixit kit for everything

There are also some electronic ones you could use that would prob help too

[velvet egret]

Same here.. I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting some AP Tx stabs since everyone recommends them. I just need to find a place where they sell the O Rings in Europe cuz keebcats.eu isn’t restocking anytime new until they prob get a new owner to take over

[white relic]

I just looked those up one of those kits have everything in them I am probably going to get one because if I am going to do anything else to this thing that will 100% help

[stray tiger]

Amazon has some. Just search for plate mount stabilizers. Durock is the closest match to the stock ones.

[white relic]

ok thx

[velvet egret]

Yeah they got all the bits you will ever need. Also got good warranty on the bits and you can use it for everything

[white relic]

for new stabs would cherry stabs work or would I have to get a certain kind

[round sparrow]

What is better for sound the redux case or the alumaze?

[white relic]

I would say it is all preference so if I were you I would go on youtube and watch some videos with sound test

[round sparrow]

thing is the alumaze is 37 bucks more expensive

[ember marten]

the only thing thats holding me back from getting the alumaze is the fact that the redux comes w a weight

[loud zephyr]

An extra 200g really isn't worth it imo. I'd gladly melt mine and turn it into a Shoehorn

[harsh dove]

yeah 200g is a little under half a pound, not much really

Basically 30g more than a modern iPhone

You're just putting an iPhone in your keeb

[ember marten]

i actually didnt know that ty fellas

they really charging 25 dollars for the weight so i didnt know if it was worth it

[stray tiger]

If you want the xtra weight later just get something like this https://www.amazon.com/CKAuto-Adhesive-Weights-EasyPeel-Motorcycles/dp/B085L74KS4/ref=sxin_14_pa_sp_search_thematic_sspa

would look like this with the weights

[ember marten]

thats literally so smart

how much heavier does it make

[stray tiger]

Well tungsten is twice as heavy as brass so whatever the brass weight is x2 if you fill the whole cavity

[ember marten]

is this the tofu redux case?

[stray tiger]

Thats the Tofu v1 so not the redux, but its the same concept. The battery compartment is shaped a little smaller on the redux I believe

Brass is 545lbs per cubic foot where as tungsten is 1205lbs per cubic foot

[harsh dove]

Tirade knows the way

[ember marten]

so id pretty much be filling in this part with the tungsten things

[stray tiger]

Im just old and have done a lot of the tricks lol

[ember marten]

thats actually genius

tysm for the wisdom im gonna do exactly that

[harsh dove]

Bros Master Splinter of Keebs

[stray tiger]

I think I still have that purple tofu somewhere

Notice the sweet LED heat marks from years of use lol

[harsh dove]

Lmao I couldn’t tell if that’s what that was or if it was reflection of ceiling lights

[lusty hull]

No shot those weights are tungsten

[stray tiger]

I think those exact ones are steel but they do make both. Tungsten just more expensive

[sage flicker]

so what do the weights do? Just absorb more sound in the case?

[harsh dove]

They add weight

[sage flicker]

yeah but why add weight

[harsh dove]

Some people want their keebs to also be a dumbbell

[sage flicker]

ah ok, workouts at desk. Understandable.

[harsh dove]

Basically

I think it can alter sound slightly but I think that has more so to do with leaving that space empty where the weight goes rather than the actual weight of the keeb itself changing the sound

[sage flicker]

ic

[ember marten]

i really just want a solid feeling keyboard on my desk

[stray tiger]

@harsh dove forgot to tell you I did try the vertical monitor orientation but it was just too big. So I took off the left monitor and replaced it with a smaller one and I'm trying it out now.

[harsh dove]

What size was the “too big” one? And yeah sometimes I feel that way too with my 27”

Tbh mine feels fine in person, just in photos it looks too big lol

I probably wouldn’t mine a 24” or something

[stray tiger]

I had 2 x 27" before, this is what I'm trying now

It's a 16" turned vertically

[harsh dove]

Ah so one 27” was horizontal and one vertical?

[stray tiger]

Yeah that's what I tried and it was too big

[harsh dove]

Yeah I could see that

[sand oasis]

Monitors look really clean

[harsh dove]

With not having a bigger main monitor

Probably why mine feels a bit more natural with the Ultrawide as my main

[sand oasis]

The size of the 16 makes it look really cool

[harsh dove]

But even so I think it’d be better if I had a 24” or even a 16” like you have

[harsh dove]

Loving the tube art mouse mat

[stray tiger]

Wish I could get something a little wider, like a 4x3 turned vertically instead of a 16x9 or 16x10

[polar girder]

I love this. Nice

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’d be cool

[polar girder]

I have a 24” and a 27” but just leave my 27” unplugged honestly

[stray tiger]

Thanks! It's made by a friend of mine. This was the wildflowers one he made in B&W. I also own the color version.

[sand oasis]

24 22 is what I’m rocking

[harsh dove]

Was also going to ask, is that a LP case?

And that’s super dope that a friend made that

[stray tiger]

He has made 4 so far. There is an IC up for the next one if you're interested. I own them all and love them, especially if you like control style pads. https://forms.gle/RWnDvwTY5Yap1ZED8

[torn summit]

Yo anyone knows french reseller for kdbfans ? (More precisely french resellers for the tofu60 redux)

[devout torrent]

maxgaming

[fluid ravine]

Old but wise

[torn summit]

Oh wow theres such a big difference in price

74 euros on maxgaming compared to almost a 100 on official site

Only problem is there are no stock of the tofu60 redux on maxgaming but i guess it'll stock up one day

[old swallow]

its not a 100 on official site? its just expensive shipping

[sand oasis]

can also check their ali expresss website

[old swallow]

if anything maxgaming is more expensive, its €65, wheras KBDfans is 59 USD, which is like €53

[torn summit]

Yeah i meant with taxes and shipping its around 100 dollars but on maxgaming its directly 65 euros and then normal shipping

Then last problem after that is the gpx vs sora4k debate i have with myself

[ripe ibex]

is the tofu60 worth it for the wooting?

[old swallow]

haha yeah.... thats redux + weight

[old swallow]

Its all preference, but the common opinion seems to be thats its a good case for good value

[devout torrent]

They’re up there for preorder afaik

Also that price doesn’t include the weight

[ember marten]

aliexpress has some too

[ripe ibex]

link?

[round sparrow]

Problem with the tofu seems to be shipping

And honestly after checking out a few videos i think i prefer the alumaze

[ember marten]

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805726692665.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt

[sand oasis]

i had no problems with shipping

aside from the price obviously

[round sparrow]

If you're getting a wooting module+ the alumaze is pretty worth it

[round sparrow]

Yeah that's what i meant

[ember marten]

you can find coupon codes to make the price cheaper too on aliexpress

i brought it down 12 bucks

[torn summit]

Nothing on french aliexpress

Just gonna trust maxgaming

[harsh dove]

You guys can also get a 15% discount on the Alumaze if you already own a Wooting

[low sandal]

I tried lubing the L45 for the first time and they feel and sound so good!

[harsh dove]

ngl for a sec I thought you weren't typing and just pretending to type

cause I couldn't hear anything

[low sandal]

Hahaha

They sound super surprisingly quiet

[knotty breach]

Merry Christmas guys

[frosty sentinel]

Added the PC plate.. definitely a softer typing feeling

[torn summit]

I mean thats pretty cool but to be 100% honest im changing the case purely for aesthetics i dont care for rhe sounds

[harsh dove]

I wasn't posting that in regards to sounds. I was posting in regards to price, as I saw you guys comparing the tofo redux

[ember marten]

i can get a redux for 70 on aliexpress

lowkey might do that

[harsh dove]

I was comparing to this

[fluid ravine]

Merry Christmas!

[cinder flax]

Do i need 6.25u or 7u stabs if i want to replace the stabs of my 60HE? :o

[stray tiger]

6.25

[cinder flax]

Thanks

[untold wigeon]

resisted the urge to open it up until today

[ember marten]

what could be in the box 🤔

[fluid ravine]

hmmm i wonder what that box full of white is

seems like it says

UFOT

UFO!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

[sweet oak]

gleep glorp

[ember marten]

https://tenor.com/view/green-alien-cat-green-alien-green-cat-alien-gif-721538137659195618

[stable kindle]

You have Strong mental, I opened my tofu shit right away then cried on this discord that wooting still had my module and money

[agile grove]

whats funny is that to my knowledge they dont have your module

[untold wigeon]

well real happy with it honestly

worth the wait

waited 24 days

and installed it in 10mins

[gaunt linden]

If i use gummy o ring will it sound even on all the keyboard? You know how it sounds uneven cause of the screws?

[remote jasper]

Hi, I've been a bit out of the loop with all the new HE switches coming out. I want to try a switch a bit lighter than the L60s (around 50 grams would be sweet spot). I can't get the L45s since I live in pakistan and shipping would probably cost more than the switches. Are the Raptor HEs any good and do they require any recalibration or something if I put them in the wooting 60HE?

those and the gaterons are available on aliexpress but the gaterons are both like 30g force

[glacial wind]

Raptors work fine, you need to set your sensitivity a tiny bit lower is the only thing

The gaterons seem to work fine too but I don’t believe anyone in here has tested it as they’re brand new

[remote jasper]

hmm so i'll have to adjust the actuation point and rapid trigger actuation a bit?

[glacial wind]

Just actuation

Like I was on 0.1 wasd but I’m on 0.3 now with raptors because they’re more sensitive

[remote jasper]

alright. thank you! Also are you using the stock case with the raptors? how's the sound/feel?

[glacial wind]

If you search raptors here you’ll find a bunch of videos from folks in here, sound and feel is improved because they remove the plastic chatter sound

Some have modded raptors too by putting in their lekker switch stem for an even tighter fit

[remote jasper]

thank you!

[tawdry tree]

@harsh dove 🤔

[harsh dove]

What's this?

[tawdry tree]

Not sure..

I think they mean the switches in the ATK68 could be used in the 60HE

[sweet cedar]

which do u guys think is better for stab wires

molykote or dielectric

[finite gate]

dieelctric

depends on stabs tho

if the tolerances are tight, 205g0
if loose, dielectric

[ancient bluff]

Should I keep the poron foam between the pcb and the plate if I do gummy oring mount?

[static tendon]

This the Tofu Redux? What coupon was used? 😮

[harsh dove]

No this is the Alumaze with the 15% Discount

[void hollow]

woop woop my kat keycaps came in xD

[fierce void]

Someone here has used them

[glacial wind]

oh who? I know a few ordered but didn't see anyone in here with them already

[cyan adder]

Mod list ??? Thocky asf

[torn summit]

Personally i can get a redux for 77 euros 😎

[cyan adder]

WTF the best sounding wooting I’ve ever heard ngl !!!!???! How ?!!

[celest gale]

i’ve got tofu65 for my other modded kb that i made and was wondering to order tofu 60 for my wooting kb when it arrives, does it fit fine for the pcb?

[bronze grove]

Tofu 60 fits the Wooting. Tofu 2.0 does not.

[formal comet]

And ideally tufo60 redux

[celest gale]

noooo!! 🥲 i was thinking to get tofu 2.0 (since tofu out of stock) - you got any recommendations that looks like tofu60 and fits well with the plate?

[bronze grove]

Tofu redux as Squid suggests

[celest gale]

tofu60 redux, okay!

[bronze grove]

It's the tofu 60 but a new version

[celest gale]

will look into it - thank you!

[formal comet]

The tofu60 1.0 isn’t made anymore but the redux is

[celest gale]

omg thank you!!! i’ll purchase this one now thanks both @bronze grove @formal comet 🙏

[formal comet]

👍

I have one myself

[round sparrow]

It's probably because of the keycap profile and material lol

[celest gale]

also - i know it comes pre lubed, but would u recommend re-lubing it? i have spare krytox here and was wondering if i should lube and tape it

[formal comet]

It being the wooting?

I have mine stock rn

[sand oasis]

Hand lubing switches always worth

[round sparrow]

Not always

[pale aspen]

cheap XDA syesub set

but sound ok

for me, XDA is harder to use in high typing angle case

idealy usage peobably ortho board

[finite gate]

not if the lube job is already perfect

hmx hyacinths, invokeys matcha lattes, gat summertimes, stuff like that dont need relubing

but lekkers, yeah re lube is good

[frosty sentinel]

Merrrrry Chrysler friends

[celest gale]

yeah the wooting when it arrives but i was thinking to use it stock for now to see how its like without it

[marsh saffron]

id re lube them

it made a world of a difference for me

[celest gale]

thank you! will do

[edgy thicket]

how did u get it to sound like that

sounds better irl but still kinda mid lol

spent a weekend stem swapping my raptors

[hushed breach]

yo guys i want to buy the tofu redux case for my wooting 60he but before i buy it. it shows me thease options. which boxes do i tick if i want it to work for my wooting 60 he. i will keep the switches in.

[edgy thicket]

if ur not swapping your switches don't tick any box

not sure what's being asked tbh

[old swallow]

you dont need to tick any switches for it to work with the 60HE

[hushed breach]

u mean like what am i asking? i just mean like what do i tick here if i dont want to switch the switches

[hushed breach]

and do i need the brass weight?

[edgy thicket]

yeah then just don't tick anything

[old swallow]

you dont need the weight either, its just for if you want a heavier board, with a slighlty different sound

i personally did go with the weight

[hushed breach]

but it says "add a compatible plate for the wooting 60he"

[old swallow]

thats just if you want to swap the default plate for another one

[edgy thicket]

not needed either

[hushed breach]

oh so i should not tick them right? it will still work?

[edgy thicket]

they're just accessories so you should be fine with adding nothing

[old swallow]

you can just get the case by itself and that would be enough if you want

[hushed breach]

oh okay good. and lastly i want to also get a coiled white cable but i want to get a good one so there is no delays. do you know any? i was thinking the glorius ones

[old swallow]

wooting will release a white coiled cable soon, but i dont know the exact date for when it releases

but those are the only ones that are guaranteed to work with tachyon mode and 100% RGB, others might work. but cant be sure

[hushed breach]

oh okay so i can wait for that right? do u think its gonna sell out instantly or nah

[old swallow]

no, probably wont sell out. the other colours have been in stock pretty much constantly

[hushed breach]

and final thing

https://www.amazon.ae/Japanese-Sublimation-Profile-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B0C3HFLYFX/ref=sr_1_253?crid=2BP195R803L8C&keywords=key+caps+japanese+style&qid=1703396753&sprefix=key+caps+japa%2Caps%2C179&sr=8-253

im gonna get this for now

will it work

[old swallow]

should work

[hushed breach]

may i see ur keyboard

and do u know any places for cool keys

[old swallow]

sure, i havent swapped my case yet, but i can send a pic

[hushed breach]

and how can i get notifed when the white one comes out?

[old swallow]

they will probably just put it in announcements

[hushed breach]

how useful is that arm rest

[hushed breach]

oh alrighty

[old swallow]

i like it, otherwise i tended to float my arm, which isnt good. and it is pretty comfortable with it being silicone

[hushed breach]

is it worth the price

[old swallow]

probably, since it is silicone you can just wash it pretty easily, and it wont break.

[hushed breach]

oh okay and did u switch ur switches or are they the same. same thing with ur case if u dont mind

[old swallow]

still on stock case, since i stripped one of the screw i havent been able to get it out of the stock case, but what im gonna do is switch to the Tofu60 Redux with weight, change the Alu plate to the polycarb wooting sells and use L45 switches, i am currently using L45's on WASD ,but i am gonna do them on all keys

[hushed breach]

oh okay and for the case ur gonna tick only the brass weight right no need for the rest

[old swallow]

yup, just the case and the weight

[hushed breach]

and when i was looking in the other channel

i saw this

"Module delayed two weeks due to CS being swamped with tickets"

does that mean the keyboard is bad

or what

because i just orderd it

[old swallow]

i think that is refering to the 60HE+ Module, which is the seperatly sold module which doesnt come with case, switches or keycaps. its just the PCB and the PC plate

[hushed breach]

oh thats what i bought now

is it bad?

[old swallow]

it shouldnt be bad, it is pretty much just the internals from the 60HE, just for enthusiast who want to swap other components

i orderd one aswell

[hushed breach]

oh okay great

do u mind if i add you?

[old swallow]

sure

did you get L60 or L45 switches with the module tho? cause otherwise you wont have any

[hushed breach]

i got 45

L45*

[old swallow]

no ok, thats good

[hushed breach]

i was watching a sound test and i prefer them more

i have creams in my current keyboard maybe i can sell them

i spent alot on it

[old swallow]

the new L45 and L60 should sound pretty much the same, they are the same except for the spring

[hushed breach]

is 45 better?

or should i refund

and get 60

[old swallow]

no, its the same, just lighter

i prefer that

[hushed breach]

oh thats good

also do yk any good 240 hz monitors

[old swallow]

euhm no, im not really familliar with what the best monitors are

[hushed breach]

oh np thats fine

thank you

[arctic thistle]

these go on here right? for the alumaze case

[bronze grove]

You put them where the case screws go through into the case.

On the PCB on the side you're showing*

They help dampen the vibrations a bit.

Two on either end and optional one on spacebar

[arctic thistle]

whats that in english terms (ive never done anything with a keyboard 😭)

[stray tiger]

Merry Christmas my modding channel family!

[finite gate]

all cables will have "delays"

also avoid glorious. their qc and cs are horrible

cablemod best cables

[finite gate]

underneath the screwholes

[hushed breach]

do i wait for the wooting white one

[finite gate]

sure

better wattage

or whatever thats called

wooting cable can transfer more power than other coiled cables

[hushed breach]

so are wired kbs bad?

[finite gate]

what

[hushed breach]

are keyboads with wire bad then

[finite gate]

no

???

[hushed breach]

;.

[finite gate]

your monitor and pc also have delays which are unavoidable

https://tenor.com/view/reject-modernity-return-to-monke-monke-gif-19167526

everything has a delay

just some less noticable

for example a wired keyboard is faster than a wireless one

[hushed breach]

so what do i do

[finite gate]

but you wont notice that 2ms

[finite gate]

https://tenor.com/view/reject-modernity-return-to-monke-monke-gif-19167526

[old swallow]

MONKE 🐒

[finite gate]

if you care about delays its time to quit gamering

[hushed breach]

no

[finite gate]

.

[hushed breach]

i meant for less

[finite gate]

wired is faster than wireless

just because something has delays doesnt mean its bad

[old swallow]

tbf tho, nowadays that difference is not at all noticable on most equipment

[finite gate]

exactly

[arctic thistle]

these ones right?

[finite gate]

unless keychron

[old swallow]

[finite gate]

yep

[arctic thistle]

alr tysm

[finite gate]

its almost midnight

[bronze grove]

You can match up the screw holes in the case with the PCB

[proven tendon]

I’m using alumaze with extra pe foam under the pcb. Also I removed plate foam. Other than that I didn’t really do anything special

I lubed bottom housing, spring, and stem

[harsh dove]

Yeah I can get one for $75 lol, that’s not what I’m pointing out. I’m comparing cost of the Alumaze with discount vs a tofu with the brass weight. I know you can get a tofu cheaper lol..

[edgy thicket]

can u send a link to the foam u use

[harsh dove]

Always

[old swallow]

you going for that one?, anodized mocha looks dope af

[harsh dove]

Nah , I don’t need or want one

Was just tryna show comparison

[old swallow]

😢

[harsh dove]

Too cheap for me

[old swallow]

zamn

[harsh dove]

Nah tofu is cool

[old swallow]

me with 2 tofu cases at home 🥶

[proven tendon]

I just got it out of an old box

It’s thin white pe foam

Maybe like 0.5mm

[ruby rose]

I kinda want a tofu case, i didnt know about them before

[harsh dove]

If I was gonna get a mocha color , I’d probably get these though

Or something similar

[gritty mesa]

is there a big different between alumaze and tofu60?

[bronze grove]

The width and the strap?

[ember marten]

can i wear my wooting on my wrist with the strap

[sand oasis]

Typing angle is 7 degrees on the redux which is higher than the alumaze

[bronze grove]

On the contrary.

[old swallow]

That is interesting, i also like the WOB with gold cyrilic that KBD used in promo images

[harsh dove]

Alumaze does come with swappable feet though, I don’t know that the Tofu does

[old swallow]

It doesnt, it has those long strips at the bottom

As the feet

[harsh dove]

Yeah I didn’t think so

[sand oasis]

huh

i always thought alumaze was lower

my bad

[bronze grove]

You have OPTIONS

[sand oasis]

true

that is an advantage

[sand oasis]

nah it doesnt

[harsh dove]

Right yeah

[untold wigeon]

alumaze does come with feet?

[quiet bay]

Yes

[untold wigeon]

i tought so

[formal comet]

Tbh as someone with a desk that isn’t 100% fully straight the long strips under the tofu are a downside

Depending on orientation it wobbles sometimes

[sand oasis]

that is unfort

[untold wigeon]

unfort

[untold wigeon]

unate

[pale marlin]

Got the parts to mod my keyboard for Christmas

[zealous delta]

whats the diference between wooting 60he and the module 60he+

[bronze grove]

One is a 60HE. The other is a 60HE... barebones.

And the Module has screw in stabs instead of plate mounted stabs.

(Scroll down and read the module page. It has plenty of comparisons)

[zealous delta]

okay but is it better to have the 60he or it doesnt change nothing at all

60he+*

[bronze grove]

[zealous delta]

okay i get it lemme read the module page

[void hollow]

i hate how my coiled cables always has that tilt

[zealous delta]

so the 60he have plate mounted stabilizers thzat can't be screwed out?

but can we still greace these

[iron bear]

https://wooting.io/wooting-60he-module/about

[bronze grove]

60HE plate mount only.
60he Module either, comes with screw in preinstalled.

[void hollow]

can the 60he+ module take in clipins?

[bronze grove]

https://tenor.com/view/chesscom-chess-world-championship-reaction-reply-gif-12557534494517350509

[void hollow]

okay, gotcha HAHA im kinda dumb when it comes to the stabs

[normal schooner]

[void hollow]

honestly thought that the plate mounted could only take clipins, while the screw in ones could take both 🫢

does buying 4 keyboards pay for the thousands of braincells of yours i just straight up murdered xD

[normal schooner]

I would have a bit more patience and see what the 29th comes out

maybe you will like it

[void hollow]

if you say it that way it must be the 75% eh

but question, are 60% or 75% more popular

[iron bear]

60% is more customizable, 75% is quite popular and so is TKL it all depends on one's use case

[normal schooner]

I cant say anything about that, good luck.

[void hollow]

but still really excited about those upcoming spring packs

[iron bear]

I went from 96% -> 75% -> 60%

[void hollow]

wonder if wooting is gonna come up with their own better versions of the lekker switches

[void hollow]

yeah i could see that 60% is indeed more customizable

[iron bear]

Still do have the 75% keeb & another 60%

But for me the 60HE has just been amazing still interested in what's going to be revealed on the 29th

I've got a Tofu60v1 Walnut & Alumaze case for the 60%

[void hollow]

when i transitioned from full size kb to 60% i really missed the arrow keys and the fn keys

[void hollow]

yeah forsure, pretty excited about it too

[fluid ravine]

rip

[iron bear]

The software has been amazing on the Wooting

[void hollow]

if i fall in love with the new keyboard that comes out, id have to sell my current board/custom boards hoping the resell value is still high here

[fluid ravine]

i appologize for their actions

[stable kindle]

I got some inside info from anders. He said it's a 69% keyboard for the memes

[fluid ravine]

although they have eyes unlike me
they cant read

:D

[stable kindle]
