bought from aliexpress multiple times xd

upper furnace
#

Lots of decent shops on Ali tbh

bleak steeple
#

ah i see, theyre hella nice but also still on the pricey side 😭

quick gulch
#

Yea, you get what you pay for

upper furnace
#

Yeah GMK sets are going to be quite pricey

quick gulch
#

You could go grab a clone on ali but can’t be sure on colour

bleak steeple
#

well to be fair i am gonna be a first time builder so i dont know what to look for when buying keycaps

quick gulch
#

Still probably one of the nicest matches you’ll get since the colour scheme is about the same

upper furnace
#

you could look into DROP DCX which are slightly cheaper

bleak steeple
#

thats trute

halcyon obsidian
#

gmk isn't worth it imo

#

cool designs but I don't like abs

shell geode
#

Wow, looks like the Gateron Jades are a game changer

agile grove
#

also overpriced

halcyon obsidian
#

pbt sounds better + doesn't shine as fast

upper furnace
#

and the wait times

halcyon obsidian
#

sounds better is preference tho

quick gulch
#

Shine is what ever, they exist to be used

halcyon obsidian
agile grove
#

pbt last much longer

quick gulch
#

Last?

#

You’re talking as though they break

halcyon obsidian
#

both with last

quick gulch
#

Brother they just shine haha

halcyon obsidian
#

abs will just shine

#

which some people like the shine

#

sometimes it can make it look prettier

agile grove
halcyon obsidian
#

shiny samurais

robust bramble
quick gulch
#

You’re using this thing, parts are going to wear, it’s not to place on a shrine and stare at

halcyon obsidian
#

lmao

quick gulch
#

That’s a whole freaky level of shine

bleak steeple
halcyon obsidian
pale aspen
#

both will last, abs shine fast

#

unlike gamer keycap

#

fingernail canrub it off

quick gulch
#

It is haha but that’s like so fkd up

fringe egret
#

do you get any strap when buying the 60he module? and also anyone here got any good keycap reccomendations for the concrete gray case? ( preferably < 70 dollars)

halcyon obsidian
bleak steeple
#

thats what i heard

agile grove
halcyon obsidian
#

keyboards are kinda like art if we didnt care what they look like and to stare at them we wouldn't buy the things we do to make them look nice and give them personality

bleak steeple
#

in total im spending 414USD for the 60HE+ module, case and cannon esper caps

fringe egret
#

Okay thank you 2 🙂

quick gulch
#

You’re right, but the difference is there’s always going to be a compromise somewhere

halcyon obsidian
#

yeah but abs is a choice

#

you're not really compromising using pbt

quick gulch
#

Things degrade over time, you can go buy a nice car and keep it in a garage the entire time or drive it

#

You are

#

PBT legends and colours are a lot worse than abs

halcyon obsidian
#

a stronger, more durable, more shine resistant, better sounding plastic

quick gulch
#

But you keep that rough texture for longer

#

Sure pbt has come a long way but the colours abs can produce are just better hands down

halcyon obsidian
quick gulch
#

But that’s your compromise

halcyon obsidian
#

its a very expensive market too

#

I will say it is nice to look at gmk keycaps and look at how perfect the legend is

quick gulch
#

Doesn’t really matter what pbt can do, if no ones bright it to the market it didn’t exist

wet hazel
quick gulch
#

I like some pbt sets, and I like some abs ones. I prefer abs

halcyon obsidian
halcyon obsidian
quick gulch
#

Like people prefer pbt, but idk if I would call shine a flaw.

halcyon obsidian
quick gulch
#

PBT can sound nice for sure, but some pbt manus end up sounding too flat, like xmi

#

Makes everything sound so dull

bleak steeple
halcyon obsidian
#

for me at least the last set i had on my current keyboard was some heavy pbt and it has a lot more thock than my current gmk set I have on it due to the weight

quick gulch
#

Yea, I guess you just prefer that sound profile. I find it a bit too flat. It takes away from the true sound of the case and such

#

But I don’t mind it sometimes

wet hazel
wet hazel
#

Hope the keycaps don't mess up a lot

#

I supose I'll upgrade the whole keyboard in a near future with jade switches and other keycaps/mods

#

But first I need the module to come home lol

bleak steeple
#

yeah my pockets kinda hurt after buying the new keyboard setup, but hey, its worth it. ive been wanting to get into keyboards and building them anyways. what better way to start then now 😎

#

Has anyone compared the Raptors and Jades?

quiet bay
#

no but I think the jades sound cleaner and better

Really? SAD

halcyon obsidian
#

why are o-rings always out of stock

wet hazel
#

Raptors vs Jade I think

halcyon obsidian
shell geode
#

Thank you! If only we could pin this somewhere for future questions

polar girder
#

Which one is which lol

shell geode
#

I'm assuming Jade is left with the warmer tone video, and the Raptor is right

polar girder
#

Fuck

#

Jades on top

#

RIP me

#

Time to buy and lube another set of switches dogekek pepecry havo mm pepeyes

#

I’ll wait tho lol

#

Need to see lekker 2.0 before I buy 4th set of switches đŸ€Ș

shell geode
#

Idk, maybe its just me, but they sound pretty comparable, the Raptors sound deeper?

#

Another thing is the feel too. The Lekkers had this springy feedback that I wasn't a fan of, and there's the wobble comparison

bleak nacelle
#

raptor with lekker stems is god send for taller keycaps, it's insane how much wobble this setup reduces

shell geode
#

So the Raptors need the Lekker stems to be comparable to the Jades, but the Jades are just fine out of the box?

shell geode

#

oh well I already went full retard on buying L45s and then Raptors... not to mention the L60s that came with the board.

the alumaze is also around that and so is the redux once u ship it

#

price isnt the problem here

stable kindle
#

For CNC I think it's a fairish price for what it is

valid sun
#

Yeah it's not a lot for CNC

#

However I think it would make the keyboard sound more hollow ( is that the correct word to describe it ? )

quiet bay

it's a weapon

@valid sun o I can see that, but maybe more hollow can help accentuate the thocc?

I am not buying it

exactly that

to me ^

because of that

untold wigeon

i am not buying it even if it was TKL or 75% or 65%

60 he is perfect

normal schooner
#

you might be interested in calder his pinned message in the 80he channel

tawdry tree
#

I prefer 65% and would use 60 but I wouldn’t mind having it.

normal schooner
#

he explained stuff a little

untold wigeon
#

i did read it

#

i do agree with most of what he said except for the keycaps stuff

untold wigeon
#

the only keycaps worth getting over the wooting are pbtfans dcx and gmk and all of those have support for the 65-75 non standard layouts

tawdry tree
#

Is it not standard layout

#

I thought that was his whole point

untold wigeon
#

65 and 75 are not standard layouts thats what i mean

#

this "TKL" has all standard keys even if its missing some

tawdry tree
#

Ah IC

untold wigeon
#

Calder made an argument against a 75% because of keycap sets which i disagree with

untold wigeon
#

layouts will always be controversial

#

there would've been a lot of outrage if it was 75 or TKL or 1800

tawdry tree
#

That doesn’t make any sense tbh, if they would’ve made a “non standard” layout there would be more demand for non standard keycap sets there fore more supply a bit kater.

untold wigeon
#

the only way to please all of these kids is to drop all of them which is not possible

#

custom keyboard makers also deal with the same problems

tawdry tree
#

keycaps are annoying because if there are a few keyboard for the you make you sell less and waste a lot on the mold

#

so for manufacturers it doesn’t make sense to do unless there’s more keyboard out there with that layout

little moss
#

I'm considering getting a transparent case for my 60HE, but I'm worried that a load of goop will be visible after a relatively short time. anyone got experience?

tawdry tree
#

It’s an endless game honestly, I hoped they’d choose a non standard layout exactly for that reason.

quiet bay
untold wigeon
#

i mean i wouldnt know as i only look at high end stuff and tbh the only upgrade from wooting pbt is pbtfans dcx or gmk

tawdry tree
untold wigeon

glorious has cheaper sets that have 65% compatibility tho, that is smth i know of

I haven’t watched it yet but the new Wooting is an 80?

left definitely jades

frosty sentinel
#

Correct

left glade

#

The stock switches

sharp yew
#

after dealing with the lekkers i just want the jades at this point

#

are the jades lubed?

sharp yew
#

oh yeah, did you relube those

frosty sentinel
#

Factory lubed..

sharp yew
#

very nice very nice

frosty sentinel
#

The difference is crazy to me

sharp yew
frosty sentinel
#

I might spend the next few hours lubing then

sharp yew
#

they're said to sound like mahjong

frosty sentinel
#

Idk if lubing is going to be necessary tbh

sharp yew
left glade
sharp yew
#

idk

#

you have to ask people who've used em

left glade
#

so now you can make a custom keyboard with hell fast switches?

frosty sentinel
#

Can’t say yet, but the sound is a different level.. worth it to me

sharp yew
#

I mean that was the point of the wooting but the default switches might not please everyone

left glade
#

idk, i lubed my lekkers and im glad of it and im very pleasured of the sound

sharp yew
#

mine should arrive relatively soon

frosty sentinel
#

The switches are magnetic either way.. the sensitivity can be adjustable if you want a faster switch.. that’s the point of having magnetic switches

sweet cedar
sharp yew
#

I was gonna wait but the jades were only around 50 bucks

sweet cedar
#

arent they 60

sharp yew
#

$56 before shipping

untold wigeon
#

i feel like the Q1 HE will be the first actual custom keyboard with actual good mounting and HE switches(if the software doesnt suck)

frosty sentinel
#

So if anything, I’d say the magnet is slight stronger resulting in quicker actuation

#

I’m going to increase the actuation point tbh

untold wigeon

i have mine at 0.3 for wasd and shift and 1.0 for the rest

i liked it best just in its normal tray mount

oh rly

untold wigeon
#

ignored the spacebar and center standoffs

#

i do not like standoffs or shit near the spacebar as it fucks it imo

sharp yew
#

my spacebar hole is stripped anyhow

#

heard like one other person have issues with that particular standoff

untold wigeon
#

idk how u stripped that shit

#

the tofu comes with 3 standoffs so u can fuck one up

sharp yew
#

could be stripped or something else

sweet cedar
#

so when i build mine just dont put in the center two standoffs?

sharp yew
#

I didn't exactly force anything down but with burger mount, some of em took a bit of time before they finally screwed in

untold wigeon
#

i mean try it out and see

#

i dont like the center one or the one right next to the spacebar

#

the others i screw in

#

tho not too tightly

sharp yew
#

yep, badseed suggested that

#

as long as the usb port is aligned

you can not misalign it on the new tofu

During COVID when sets where delayed and delivery times were 1-2yrs, people ended up selling sets when they finally got delivered and all those people selling ended up resulting in some good deals on the buy/sell forums.

# stray tiger Round 2 is pre-order. That's why it's $160. If you want it today, it's round 1 o...

I don’t mind the wait when ordering these. It’s the price that’s steering me a bit away. Plus I’d probably prefer the round 2 in this case but idk. If I knew for certain they’d resell well, I’d likely pick it up and have that in the back of mind to justify the price a bit more lol.

But wow that’s a hefty price for a resell. That’s pretty neat to have on hand

does hand lube make a difference

frosty sentinel
#

First two are hand lubed jades, second are factory lubed jades, last are stock.. then I go through to compare them all

In person it gives a deeper more consistent tone.. not sure if it comes across that well in the video

what plate do u have

and any foam?

frosty sentinel

Foam in between pcb and plate.. PC plate, gummy o ring mount inside a redux case

I was just confused because you said hand lubed, factory lubed, and stock but arent stock factory lubed?

#

or by stock do you mean lekkers?

frosty sentinel
#

Yes stocks are factory lubed. I open them up and then hand lubed them.

#

Just cause something is factory lubed doesn’t mean they can’t be hand lubed

stray tiger
#

Even the best factory lube job wont be as consistent as hand lubing.

sharp yew
#

that damn rattle

polar girder
#

Yeah can’t wait to learn more about Lekker 2.0

harsh dove
#

But for people who are too lazy to lube or don’t have the time, the Jades have a really good factory lube job compared to other HE switches I’ve seen

#

Main difference wasnt the amount of lube or anything, it was that is was really consistent among all my switches

shell geode
# sharp yew that damn rattle

And also the feel too, they have a springy feedback when pressed and combined with the wobble, feels somewhat 'loose'

harsh dove
#

Which you don’t normally get with factory lube jobs

sweet cedar
harsh dove
#

Nope

#

Feels fine to me

#

Honestly didn’t even change my settings and it felt fine but I’ll probably do some more testing

sharp yew
#

hope thats the case

harsh dove
#

But we’re talking like 0.1mm differences lol between lekkers, raptors, and jades

#

So it’s very minimal

sharp yew
#

guess wooting needs to step up their own lube

#

assuming they're doing lekker 2.0

harsh dove
#

I’ve heard the lube is better now

sharp yew
#

oh on later batches?

harsh dove
#

Yeah

shell geode

Even though the Jades actuate at 0.2mm, there's no way I would feel the difference

sharp yew

nice to hear, not like i'd keep the lekkers

if its that marginal it just means i wont have to go do a thing in wootility that takes 5 seconds

is it possible to get this pinned here?

#

Is it normal for friction mount to look like this?

#

How Can i Fix it

#

Nvm i fixed it

void hollow
#

great!

frosty sentinel
#

anyone wanna finish hand lubing the for me

harsh dove
#

But yeah I didn’t like the stem swap cause of the friction , which is why Jades are nice

#

I’ll probably try Lekker 2.0 when they release and possibly KS20u as well

pale aspen
#

if i might be wrong but i intrepreted as stock Raptor, wobble-wise and sound wise is the same as Lekker

#

which it is not for me

#

or im dumb?

pale aspen
harsh dove
#

Nice ty

harsh dove
pale aspen
#

naturally all switches need to wobble a bit for tolerance sake

#

lekker just eobble too much

harsh dove
#

It’s basically the same sound but different pitch if that makes sense

pale aspen
#

due to less wobble

harsh dove
#

Whereas Jades have their own sound

pale aspen
#

i thought like mahjong-like was bs

harsh dove
#

Me too haha

pale aspen
#

until i hear your sound test

harsh dove
#

But they actually sound like it

#

Pretty neat

void hollow
#

is it possible to swap the jade's top housing with other housings?

polar girder
#

Yeah that’s what I was trying to ask @harsh dove when I asked him if he had a chance to play around with them.

#

Playing around with raptors and diff parts was fun

void hollow
#

i wanna grab some black stained top housing

polar girder
#

Curious about the jades. Diff combos

void hollow
#

i really like the look of switches themselves if they look nice

#

maybe i should try with some normal lekker switches

harsh dove
#

When I tried raptors top housing with lekkers tho it didn’t work

#

Wouldn’t clip down all the way

#

Was lop-sided

#

And I didn’t wanna brute force it lol and end up breaking the clips

vestal plinth
#

anyone got the best 60he lubing method message me

what should we be lubing lmk if someone can walk me thru message me 🙂 ty

gaunt linden
#

Will there be lekkers 2.0?

void hollow
#

doesnt seem to work imo, i tried swapping some top housings and they dont fit

My batch was very consistent across all switches, and yes I opened every single one

void hollow
#

im waiting on my module to come, to hopefully replace my current wooting to pcb stabs

#

eh CAM, do you know if the TX AP are screw or plate-?

frosty sentinel
#

You can just scroll up to hear the difference, I uploaded a video with hand lubed vs factory

void hollow
#

it pretty much puts the lekkers sound in a dim light

frosty sentinel
#

I tried doing my best to do each switch back to back.. that way there could be a distinct difference

quiet bay
void hollow
#

so excited for them to come

#

but they aint coming -_- although local stock

quiet bay

actually well the tx ap rev 4s are clip ins

I did switch tape mod once, then added another layer to each switch and then lubed the tape over and over again
Then lubed my keyboard for idk how many times

quiet bay

It barely uses up the roll

uncut musk

nah thats the brand here in the states

fluid ravine

frosty sentinel

There’s a local place.. they sell em used. I’m gonna get the embody, which is around 650

So not good

Not not bad 😂

quiet bay

this is the correct one right :D

frosty sentinel

Yeah buddy đŸ‘đŸ»

frosty sentinel
#

Mhmm

pale aspen
#

it is for tolerance

#

Lekker just wobble too much

quiet bay
#

Switch wobble good

#

or else it will feel too stiff and unnatural to type on

pale aspen
#

people need to understand this first lol

quiet bay
#

just not too much wobble

pale aspen
#

i feel like some people chase no wobble switch

void hollow
#

im gonna open up the switches

#

and break something on the top housing

#

so they start wobbling

pale aspen
quiet bay
#

I wish i had a good camera

#

then I would be able to record how to do the switch tape mod đŸ˜©

hope they improved on their qc my starlight encoder started to malfunction a while after i got it

void hollow

i took out the rubber on my g502 to make it lighter

dense token

jeez

quiet bay
#

@fluid ravine You got rid of the plate foam on your wooting right?

void hollow
#

yes

quiet bay
#

I wanna try that tmr

#

see how different it sounds

void hollow
#

it makes the keyboard sound way less muted

#

i feel like no pcb foam and polyfill is really the way to go

quiet bay
#

I want to try removing plate foam because my keystrokes are sorta muted

#

well not exactly muted but

#

kinda empty

void hollow
#

yes i understand what you mean

quiet bay
#

You can hear them bottom out clearly

#

err let me do a sound test rq

#

(I didnt press enter key because it has no stabs)

#

I should fix my backspace stab

quick gulch
# covert cape

Had people say this switch is fine, others have said it messes with rt because it doesn’t return fully. Probably a plate/tolerance issue

#

Ima buy like 10 and take a look myself though, but I think they should be fine

Sorry for the poor typing.. dislocated my thumb last night. But my keyboard sounds pretty !

polar girder
#

L45’s are goated if you want the lightest switch IMO

#

just ignore everything else

#

And enjoy the lightness and the freedom in the keystrokes lol

sour blade
#

has anyone tested gateron magnetic jades

how is the top-out sound comared to lekker?

when it comes to wobble, and bottom out, its probably better than lekker
smoothness is non-issue for me personally

frosty sentinel
#

I’m suing them in the video I just uploaded

#

Using

void hollow
#

i guess i cant flip my keyboard upside down

#

or it will just fall out

quiet bay
void hollow
#

the problem is that it is falling out

quiet bay
#

rip

#

Oh well when do u ever flip ur keyboard down

void hollow
#

no when

#

thats the problem

quiet bay
#

aint it a bit loose then

void hollow
#

yeah it is

#

im thinking what if i put a few rubber bands before the oring

quiet bay
#

What o ring did u get

void hollow
#

graveshift m 40a

quiet bay
#

hmm

#

Well u could try the rubber band thing

sour blade
#

is it the pink one

quiet bay
#

Idk how graveshift is because I bought mine from divinikey

sour blade
#

if you got the right one its not going to come out bro

quiet bay
#

Strange that its loose tbh

sour blade
#

now that i think about it from memory 45 might have been the correct spec to get

#

could be wrong

#

is it pink?

#

(not trolling)

#

oh its blue.

quiet bay
#

Imagine the o ring got cut

sour blade
#

gg.

quiet bay
#

Which ine is@blue

#

one is blue

sour blade
#

40a is blue

sour blade
#

oh wait 35a is the pink one...

quiet bay
#

dangg

#

If I may ask

#

Whats the problem

#

with 40a

sour blade
#

well they are talking about keyboard falling out

#

im just wondering if its too loose

quiet bay
#

Well it definitely is if its falling out

#

Gummy o ring mounts are not meant to fall out like that at all 💀

sour blade
#

ok im borderline waffling but

#

other than this idk what else you can do to fix having too big of an O ring

#

tying a knot sounds troll...

quiet bay
#

idk which

quiet bay
void hollow
#

i should try it xD

#

but how many rubber bands

sour blade
#

worth a shot

quiet bay
#

All or nothing

sour blade
#

rubber bands, foreign objects, return policy

void hollow
#

return policy back to the usa 💀

#

nevermind

#

rubber bands are too tight, im gonna try a wire instead

does anyone know if I can order a 30a o-ring for gummy mounting off amazon

#

cause right now my only options is off graveshift, or get a 50a off cannonkeys

void hollow

i think they suggested 30-50a

#

for graveshift medium

halcyon obsidian
#

yeah but I want a 30a lol

void hollow
halcyon obsidian
#

and I can order off graveshift but thats more shipping for a 4 dollar items

#

shipping will be more than the item lol

yeah exactly, thats why i ordered 3 of the same thing

so i can upsale it locally

do the jades allow RGB to pass through?

void hollow
#

they have a clear top housing so id assume yes

frosty sentinel
#

They pass through alright.. it’s not perfect

wind karma
#

oh

#

alright

frosty sentinel
#

This is suppose to be all orange-ish and the same color.. you can tell some are giving off a slightly filtered tone

#

Mainly the top, they’re more blue

#

youre using jades huh?

void hollow
#

i dont like when the hue shows tbh

#

makes me sad

halcyon obsidian
#

so doing a little digging on o-ring we know the bakeneko60 o-ring works, and a website called ringerkeys sells o-rings (that a currently out of stock) that give the specificaions and it says that the ring is 185mm OD x 3.5mm CS

#

so in theory any 185mm OD x 3.5mm CS 30a-50a o-ring should work
