#

They arent KS-20T?

dapper hazel
#

see the patent post from gateron

#

they name them in it H

winged python
#

is tofu60 redux really worth it over stock case? its pretty pricy for me to get it to austraia

dapper hazel
#

sorry

#

T

#

youre right

tawdry tree
#

T

stray tiger
#

ok whew, had me worried for a min haha

tawdry tree
#

Wouldn’t surprise me if they change the name again

#

😂

dapper hazel
#

and then U is the double rail ones?

#

i thought the jade ones are the U ones

tawdry tree
dapper hazel
#

or is T the double rail?

tawdry tree
#

Ks-20U is dual rail (not yet publicly released)

dapper hazel
#

ah

#

i thought somehow the jade ones are the double rail ones

tawdry tree
dapper hazel
#

I ordered some but theyre still in the mail

dapper hazel
#

well, wish... who knows how they turn out haha

stray tiger
#

The Neo Studio one I believe is a dual rail version of the KS-20T but they also got a patent complaint from gateron

dapper hazel
#

so the wooting compat ones with polarity in one direction are gateron and raptor, and then all the other ones are reverse polarity?

tawdry tree
#

Patent war..

dapper hazel
#

or are there any other makes that are compat?

dapper hazel
tawdry tree
#

Only Gateron’s and Geon as of now

dapper hazel
#

ah okay so no change on that front haha

stray tiger
#

Ill be curious to see if Kailh, Heijn, Raseha or Zenaim also get notices for their HE switches

dapper hazel
#

I think that is what the filing is about

#

they will use the steelseries ones are sales item to proof first on market

#

and then everyone else is fucked

#

IF they get it through

stray tiger
#

The OmniPoint ones?

tawdry tree
dapper hazel
#

idk which ones they refer to specifically but if you translate the ZF post:

#

Since its establishment, Huizhou Jiadalong Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (GATERON) has focused on the research and manufacturing of mechanical switches and customized switches. In 2019, in collaboration with SteelSeries, we launched the world's first magnetic switch keyboard, which was subsequently used in the Wooting magnetic switch keyboard a year later.

dapper hazel
#

the other ones are reverse

dapper hazel
#

due to, i was told, cheaper sensors on other boards

tawdry tree
dapper hazel
#

(wooting = good, drunkdeer = "cheaper" sensor = reverse polatiry)

dapper hazel
#

thats at least what the pcb guys told me when i looked into it a few weeks ago

tawdry tree
#

It seems stupid to me that not all HE keyboards use the same design.

stray tiger
tawdry tree
#

Would be better for all of us.

dapper hazel
#

they do but they dont

stray tiger
#

oh and I forgot Outemu also has an HE switch

dapper hazel
#

i think the sensors are a bit more expensive

#

the good ones

tawdry tree
#

But a new is also expensive no?

dapper hazel
tawdry tree
#

The KS-37 didn’t exist only long after the KS-20.

dapper hazel
stray tiger
stray tiger
#

Kailh has 2 different HE switches. Kailh Box Sakura Pink and Ice Cream

dapper hazel
#

and theyre all opposite polarity of gateron then

#

i wonder if thats on purpose

tawdry tree
#

An all out boycott against Gateron

#

🫡

stray tiger
#

Well even the KS-37B arent compatible with the KS-20 boards, so there are some changes for sure even internally to gateron

dapper hazel
#

yeah the 37B are also reverse right?

stray tiger
#

Thats my understanding

dapper hazel
#

yep, iirc thats the case yeah

#

all other switches and ks37, and then ks20 is opposite

tawdry tree
dapper hazel
#

opposite polarity

dapper hazel
#

+/-

#

facing up/down

tawdry tree
#

HE sensors can only sense either pole?

dapper hazel
#

KS20 is one direction, 37 and all the other switches are the opposite

#

apparently

#

Im pretty new to modding and I want to mod my Wooting, my main goal is to make it silent since that's my preference, I'd like some help as to what to do to achieve this

stray tiger
humble drift
#

As quiet as possible without affecting performance would be something I can live with to be honest

pallid echo
#

what are some good places to buy artisans?

dapper hazel
#

theres certain accessories, but you can start by getting something to fill out the inside of the board

#

polyfill for example

dapper hazel
humble drift
dapper hazel
#

oh theres already foam in it right

pallid echo
#

well actually decoration fully LOL

stray tiger
dapper hazel
humble drift
#

I prefer the 'silent' sound but the 'creamy' sound i've recently started to like 😂

humble drift
stray tiger
humble drift
#

is it a better alternative would you say?

stray tiger

#

@stray tiger

#

is this the set you said eariler?

#

someone offer me frog mini in red

#

and notice keycap set

stray tiger

#

what’s a good price for a salvation case? i might try and buy aftermarket

pale aspen
#

kinda warm white

pallid echo
harsh dove
#

Nah I was gonna say $220

pallid echo
#

sweet i’ll start saving

#

thank u

tidal ginkgo
#

How do I make my keyboard silent?

finite gate
#

dense foam, fr4/pc plate (muted sound profiles), o rings under keycaps

#

assuming youre talking about wooting

tidal ginkgo
#

Yessir

finite gate
#

if regular keyboards, you can use silent sswitches

#

not sure theres a silent he switch

quick gulch
#

Honestly orings will get you most of the way there

tidal ginkgo
#

Can you send me links for the products, because I have no idea what ur talking about

quick gulch
#

You won’t be able to remove the upstroke but yea

finite gate
#

for dense foam, look for 400kg/m^2

#

think neoprene may achieve that

#

can also use tall and thick keycaps, sound resonates more inside them

#

but like if youre using a wooting youre playing valo and have the keyboard muffled behind 94 layers of noise cancelling anyways

finite gate
#

lmfao

fluid ravine
#

Kilmat as case foam is a really good option

#

i gtg sleep so i cant really help atm sry

#

if gewalt is online he can help you

#

he has a slient wooting

tidal ginkgo
shell geode
#

@tidal ginkgo Hey, so I've also tried to make mine silent as well. What I've done is getting some really small o-rings (something like 4mm OD 2mm ID with 1mm thickness) and put the o-ring on the switch stem pole, so it sits between the stem and the spring. It not only muted my switch, but also reduced the total travel of the switch itself, to about 3.8mm. Even though I have my actuation set at 0.1mm, the depresses return quicker. You can test out one switch if you have a small o-ring lying around somewhere. It's not completely silent, but it's quieter. I'll record a clip and send you later

tidal ginkgo
#

Where do I get o-rings though?

shell geode
next oak
#

do be warned tho. oring on keycap can change the typing feel on your keyboard

#

so you might like it, you might not

polar girder
#
#

PC keycap/plate/switch/case??

still igloo
#

i have a question about case swapping stuff, if i were aquire something like a wooting two HE, how difficulty is swapping the PCB into the varmillo x ducky sakura full size case

would it be more difficult because the switches are recessed and on the wooting theyre exposed?

#

(i have the full size of the first but i couldnt find a picture of it online)

loud zephyr
still igloo
#

damn okay

#

thank you!

shell geode
#

@tidal ginkgo Here you go! It's not fully quiet, but much quieter than stock. My mic is also sensitive so it's louder than it really is

untold wigeon
#

that is very far from quiet

sour blade
#

👍

shell geode
#

@tidal ginkgo Yeah like I said, I've tried but it's not as significant compared to actual designed silent switches

#

It would be awesome if one could succeed in making them quiet

tawdry tree
craggy viper
#

i just got them in the mail and i havent got most of my stuff planed out for the wooting and it sounds SOO good on the stock wootin

void hollow
#

its so sensitive that it makes my keyboard sound whack

void hollow
#

if you did, try nano tape sandwiched by painter's tape

craggy viper
void hollow
#

i feel like any foamy type of tape would work

craggy viper
void hollow
#

i actually have some actual studio acoustic foam at home ready to be modded into my keyboard, just waiting for when im not lazy

craggy viper
#

thats super thin

#

less chances of it shorting out

void hollow
#

maybe when i receive my stabilizers i could try it and drop a few sound tests

craggy viper
void hollow
craggy viper
#

buts its hard now since the gatteron jades kinda make it sound good

craggy viper
#

marble thock

#

even on stock @void hollow

#

im genually shocked atm

void hollow
#

honestly i feel like the go to mods

#

lemme find my message

craggy viper
#

so im having an even harder time figuring it out

void hollow
#

tape mod 👍 oring friction mount 👍 polyfill 👍 jade switches 👍

pc plate 👌

oring burger mount is fine too but i personally find it hard to pull off so 👌

wanna spend big money?
case 👌

craggy viper
#

now i want to put the holy60 case to see

void hollow
#

holy 60? oh god

craggy viper
#

the sound profile is already good on stock alu plate and case

untold wigeon
#

stock plate is steel not alu

#

very big difference

void hollow
#

tape mod pretty much just makes it louder and adds the definition of pop into it

craggy viper
#

oh i thought it was alu

void hollow
#

alu does clack

untold wigeon
#

atleast it did in the tofu

void hollow
#

the poppy was an obvious add-on to me

untold wigeon
#

in the alumaze it mitigated most metallic tones on the alphas

craggy viper
#

i have the takka60 ordered with a cf plate with orange 2.0s for the holy 60

void hollow
#

basically a redux

craggy viper
#

im thinking of getting the metal wooting case and putting a custom pp plate

void hollow
#

im skeptical yet interested about the sound produced by the holy60

#

the alumaze?

untold wigeon
#

the holy 60 is not gonna sound good, i can promise you right now

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

there is no way a 200 gram piece of aluminum thats filled with holes will sound good

craggy viper
void hollow
untold wigeon
#

jades can not fix hollowness

craggy viper
#

i got faith

#

plus the holy 60 is eye catching

void hollow
#

i think there's a way but not a solution out there right now

#

maybe acoustic foam could fix it

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

the only way i could see that happen is you do a tape mod and you glue polyfill to the bottom of the case

void hollow
#

it can prevent sound from bouncing off the table

#

in which rendering the polyfill useless ☠️

craggy viper
void hollow
#

doesn't matter, the material in the deskpad wouldn't be enough to dampen out the sound reflections i feel

craggy viper
#

thats true but im still curious about it

#

its just a cool looking case

void hollow
#

as per compared to studio grade acoustic foam, i have some at home rn (rockwool), im gonna see how muted i can get the redux

untold wigeon
#

if it was like 60 bucks sure

#

but 120 absolutely not

void hollow
#

it indeed is a cool looking frame i cant disagree

untold wigeon
#

thats before the china taxes too

craggy viper
void hollow
#

how much was it

untold wigeon
#

the case by itself is 120

void hollow
#

usd?

untold wigeon
#

the takka60 pcb with the holy60 is around 330

#

iirc

untold wigeon
#

thats b4 taxes and shipping

void hollow
#

inclusive of shipping thats gonna be another 180 on my arse

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

should've gone with jades

void hollow
#

are you that desperate @-@

untold wigeon
#

well he isnt

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

it wont ship before match

#

march*

void hollow
#

i usually dont ride the hype train until someone drops the sound tests for me

#

usually cam 👀

untold wigeon
#

this is also a limited run

craggy viper
#

i just want to test the orange 2.0s mostly

#

i can get jades faster from gatteron anyways @untold wigeon

untold wigeon
#

you could've just waited a bit longer for them to show up

untold wigeon
void hollow
#

please drop sound test on the takka 60 pls

craggy viper
void hollow
#

what plate is that though

craggy viper
#

so i just stopped looking at dates

craggy viper
void hollow
#

oh another cf plate

#

u two twinning bruh

craggy viper
void hollow
#

fr4 > cf

untold wigeon
#

i highly doubt there will be a huge difference

#

with these switches

#

and with the tray mount too

void hollow
#

true

untold wigeon
#

especially with all of those holes

void hollow
#

LMAO

craggy viper
#

its an open case anyways

void hollow
#

typing feel though

craggy viper
#

sides are also open

void hollow
#

fr4 more flexible

craggy viper
void hollow
#

cf will be more stiff imo

craggy viper
#

i shouldve bought this in white

untold wigeon
void hollow
#

gummy mount :3

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

even the PC plate is as stiff as the steel in my experience on the wooting

void hollow
#

oh bruh yeah

untold wigeon
#

it wont matter

#

the differences will be the switches

craggy viper
#

consistency with the stiff plates with hall eff

void hollow
#

but but-

#

the fr4 plate looks the best

craggy viper
#

it it was a standard mechanical switch flex

craggy viper
void hollow
#

i see it

#

i show you

untold wigeon
craggy viper
untold wigeon
craggy viper
#

so i wont see it still

untold wigeon
void hollow
#

HAHAHA

untold wigeon
#

CF looks better

craggy viper
#

^

#

CF is sexy

untold wigeon
#

also i dont understand

void hollow
#

ill personally spit on your cf

untold wigeon
#

why they bother with flex cuts

void hollow
#

if its on a car i dont mind :3

untold wigeon
void hollow
#

I KNOW U LOVE IT THATS WHY I DIDNT SAY THAT

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

it takes away from the sound

tawdry tree
void hollow
#

because they make my finger hurt more

craggy viper
void hollow
#

not as much on gummy mount

untold wigeon
#

KBDfans also had a pom plate but they removed it because it was causing issues with the switches

tawdry tree
void hollow
#

yeah

untold wigeon
craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

smkeyboards sells pom plate iirc

pale aspen
#

cf is stiff enough

tawdry tree
#

what’s a pp plate?

void hollow
#

theres still pom plates on aliexpress

tawdry tree
#

🤨

craggy viper
pale aspen
#

also usually sound lost/bad sound from flex cut matter more in PCB

#

in wooting imo not noticeable

void hollow
#

but pc > pom anyways so yeah

tawdry tree
craggy viper
# tawdry tree is that different from polycarb

Lots of keyboards in this video. But just wanted to showcase and do a little rev...

untold wigeon
#

oh

#

what does that mean

void hollow
#

alu < cf < fr4 > pom > pc

crimson sky
untold wigeon
#

i will

pale aspen
#

what is that scale for

untold wigeon
crimson sky
craggy viper
crimson sky
void hollow
#

LMAO

craggy viper
craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

shoulda just said bbc

#

instead of black pp

craggy viper
void hollow
crimson sky
#

no

#

I also am not called paul

craggy viper
crimson sky
#

got a PP plate in my safa

void hollow
#

so towards fr4

craggy viper
#

its more fexible than pom

void hollow
#

alu < cf < fr4 > pom > pp > pc

crimson sky
#

and got a pom plate ready for my wooting

crimson sky
craggy viper
#

fr4 kinda mid imo

void hollow
#

yeah its mid

#

it produces high freq

tawdry tree
#

I want a sound engineer or something to prove/disprove all this shit

crimson sky
#

unironically fav plates atm so far are good alu plates and goot plateless

tawdry tree
#

and not just opinions of people

crimson sky
tawdry tree
#

but with actual facts behind it

crimson sky
#

in the end it comes down to preference

craggy viper
crimson sky
#

also plate material alone is not all

tawdry tree
crimson sky
#

a "good" plate design also needs a good case design etc

#

to sound good

void hollow
#

plate material is followed by material density and it's stiffness x flexibility, im sure there's more factors that follow after the ones ive listed

craggy viper
crimson sky
craggy viper
crimson sky
#

idb is so fucking good

tawdry tree
void hollow
#

yeah indeed

crimson sky
#

oh

#

well even then

#

case still plays a big role

void hollow
#

but if you want the very end of the spectrums its easier to reccomend one

tawdry tree
craggy viper
crimson sky
crimson sky
void hollow
#

case comes together with case foam so yeah, in the end there are two parts to sound ina keyboard

craggy viper
crimson sky
#

ik from someone at another company that they had issues with EVA foam for plate foam

tawdry tree
crimson sky
#

since it affected the sensor readout

void hollow
#

keycaps-switches-plate-pcb foam-switchpads-pcb

case foam-case

craggy viper
crimson sky
# tawdry tree ofc not but the only way to test what a material does in in a controlled environ...
crimson sky
craggy viper
void hollow
#

depending on what case you're on i guess

#

case pinging isnt nice imo

crimson sky
#

yea but they are using a plastic plate

#

already not likely to ping

void hollow
#

ah yeah

craggy viper
#

it should only cost me $40 to get a pp plate

#

custom made

crimson sky
#

about what I paid for my pom plate

#

(now if only I didn't mess it up)

craggy viper
#

then i can put that in a alumaze and hope it will sound good with no foam

void hollow
#

40 dollars on a plate

crimson sky
#

ye custom cut oneoffs are expensive

void hollow
#

while me, 47 sgd on orings pepecry

craggy viper
#

and pom/pp are the best platic ones

void hollow
#

just have fun with your pom plates

crimson sky
#

just fyi

void hollow
#

i want one but people keep warning against it, even those selling it

crimson sky
#

lol

#

yea if it doesn't work I will prob go alu

void hollow
#

aka kbdfans

#

i messaged the support asked them why they discontinued the pom plate

#

they gave the tom dick harry answer so i just had to accept it

bronze grove
#

POM was too flexible for HE iirc. It would move so much that the sensors would go out of sync.

pale aspen
#

did anyone measure wootng pc platee thickness?

void hollow
#

yeap correct, that was their response, fairly understandable though

crimson sky
pale aspen
#

because even kbdfans canceld POM because too flexy

void hollow
pale aspen
#

one question,if you order alu
shop will send in raw or ano black?

crimson sky
#

depends on the shop

#

I doubt they would just ano it black

pale aspen
#

usually the shop i use i need to pay $3 for black

#

i see

untold wigeon
#

thats a shame

craggy viper
#

oh thats not bad a tofu redux kit is only 89usd

untold wigeon
#

try 130 before china taxes

craggy viper
#

from kbd fans?

untold wigeon
#

yah

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

right i forgot the order needs to be above 150 for taxes

craggy viper
#

but i do pay for the nicer dhl shipping option

untold wigeon
#

but you will pay VAT

#

kbd ships with fedex iirc

craggy viper
craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

i am in EU and they shipped with fedex

#

wooting ships with DHL in the eu

craggy viper
#

ah but i do pay 10.25% for state tax though @untold wigeon

untold wigeon
#

on my end its 20%

#

but VAT

craggy viper
#

wait i couldve bought a prebuilt holy60

#

fml

#

that wouldve made life much easier

untold wigeon
#

you didnt buy the prebuilt?

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

theres a prebuilt and a kit?

craggy viper
#

i uusually diy

untold wigeon
#

i mean its just 5 screws

craggy viper
#

yeah

craggy viper
#

its only $10 more for them to do it for me @untold wigeon

untold wigeon
#

hmm

tawdry tree
#

It’s enjoyable to build it tho

craggy viper
#

id pay the $10 to be lazy

untold wigeon
#

interesting

tawdry tree
craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

the module+also the bullshit and the long pole stabs gets around 450 for me

#

this is with keycaps too and would be quite a bit cheaper

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

without keycaps

#

i already have pbtfans keycaps

#

this also has this

#

hmm interesting decision

austere creek
#

i just make keycaps out of play doh

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

nice

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

honestly i'd cancel my module for this if it didn't come out in march

austere creek
craggy viper
austere creek
#

pure play doh

#

maybe some water to thin it out

untold wigeon
#

@craggy viper thanks for telling me abt this ready to use kit

#

its quite an interesting proposition

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

tho i already own a tofu 60 redux

craggy viper
#

but decided to not be

untold wigeon
#

i'd have to unscrew it and put it in my tofu too

#

decisions decisions

craggy viper
#

wait i can buy 2 gmk keycaps sets from novel key and get 1 free

#

what a deal

untold wigeon
#

do i get the already well established and 100% product that ships in like a week or do i go for the product that is a limited run and ships out in 3 months

craggy viper
#

spend 300 to get 150 for free

craggy viper
#

one to wait for and 1 to use right away

untold wigeon
#

i already have the og 60 he in the tofu but i wanted the stabs and the jades for the module

#

i ordered the module and the jades

#

now im thinking maybe i get this

#

instead

#

but it'd waste a case

untold wigeon
#

the stabs

#

they are pcb mounted

craggy viper
#

ah

untold wigeon
#

i'd love it if they just sold the pcb and plate by itself with switches

#

i dont want to waste another case

#

i already have the alumaze and tofu

craggy viper
#

i forget is the og plate mounted stabs @untold wigeon

untold wigeon
#

tho last time i ordered for 300 bucks on kbdfans i ended up paying 500 thanks to vat customs and other fees

untold wigeon
#

they are mostly ok

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

i have no option for that

#

it did come in 5 days last time

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

do we have any info

on this rakka or takka

chinese guy review

untold wigeon
#

ye i think i'm not gonna beta test this

#

surface data?

pale aspen
#

表面数据 in this context just refers to rakka HE pcb's RT/actuation point accuracy, ie. advertised 0.1mm actuation point really is 0.1mm whereas wooting's might be 0.2mm

austere creek
pale aspen
#

i asked native speaker to translate

untold wigeon
#

the wooting module with pcb mounted stabs and jades will sound 1:1 to this rakka

pale aspen
#

this is translation

austere creek
pale aspen
#

last settence was example

untold wigeon
#

interesting

crimson sky
#

do we know that MCU it uses?

untold wigeon
#

"reputation and stability"

#

that is an interesting one

pale aspen
#

"reputation for chinese mean easier to resell lol

untold wigeon
#

stability is the concerning one

pale aspen
#

thuse asking him is not possible

craggy viper
#

im interested

untold wigeon
#

i mean i'd mainly want it over the module for the split right shift

#

as i heavily dislike the big right shift

#

i just use it for up arrow

pale aspen
#

split right shift look ugly on 6.25u bottom tho

#

if it was 7u

untold wigeon
#

nah its fine

craggy viper
pale aspen
#

iam all in

untold wigeon
#

im not dealing with taobao

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

i know

#

but im not dealing with taobao

#

right they also have a 64% layout

craggy viper
#

almost all the nice stuff come from china @untold wigeon

untold wigeon
#

of course

pale aspen
#

i posted this like a week ago lol

craggy viper
#

thats how im going to set it up bc i like the arrow keys

untold wigeon
pale aspen
#

0.25u shift-ed doesnt my typing lol

#

no

craggy viper
pale aspen
#

i asked no plan for h64

untold wigeon
pale aspen
#

but that is customer support said

untold wigeon
#

hmm

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

i mean this is a pretty big deal

#

ngl

#

but man that price

craggy viper
#

just change how its config in software

pale aspen
untold wigeon
#

and waiting so long for it

pale aspen
#

6 days ago

craggy viper
pale aspen
#

they open gb for whole keyboard lol

#

i just noticed

untold wigeon
#

@craggy viper

u wont be able to do the 64% layout with the stock plate

pale aspen

$235 usd for Shaft body:
60% alu 6063 CNC case in black/sliver/white

#

not bad

tawdry tree

only right shift split

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

ah

quick gulch
#

Split bs

#

Damn

untold wigeon
#

split is not bs

#

there is no fucking reason to have a huge ass right shift

quick gulch
#

?

#

I mean split backspace bro

craggy viper
# untold wigeon ah

i ordered the cf plate for the normal layout but when im not lazy ill have the custom plate for it

#

and i can get the plate design from rakka

untold wigeon
#

i would be curious for a holy 60 sound test

#

would pair nicely with white ceramic caps

quick gulch
#

Split right shift is fine, don’t really look nice on 7u or any layout really. It’s nice to have on 7u that’s the only time I’d use it but you can argue using l-win for that

#

Anyway different layout options goated honestly

#

Now just need someone to give stepped caps too

craggy viper
#

btw takka60 is kbd fans exclusive rakka60 is a dif board

untold wigeon
#

oh

quick gulch
#

Ye

#

I think they just use the same pcb or smth right?

untold wigeon
#

im curious if the alu plate from the takka kit works on the 60he if all the standoffs are in the right position

quick gulch
#

Yea looks like it

#

They aren’t the same stand offs

#

I don’t think

untold wigeon
#

it also blocks the spacebar rgb

quick gulch
#

Yea not the same

untold wigeon
#

now what is that

quick gulch
#

It’s just a frog plate

Ah I’ve got an alu plate

Alu da goat material imo

untold wigeon

i'd go for CF

yea i'll see if I have issues with POM

crimson sky

then would prob go alu

quick gulch

I made a Pom plate

But it was way too flexy honestly

crimson sky

got 14mm switch holes

and got it cut at snijlab

fits perfect

quick gulch

Ah yea makes sense

crimson sky

(technically 14.001mm)

quick gulch

I got one cut locally, last time I do that

crimson sky

snijlab is pretty local to me

Got my alu plate on taobao and it’s perfect

craggy viper

i cut alu and cf usually

quick gulch

But idc much honestly

crimson sky

I think the closest thing geon made was the laminated frog plate

quick gulch

Idk if they’ll cut cf but you can ask

crimson sky

ah actually

pale aspen

i forget if i need long poles or normal for the wooting though

quick gulch

Yea but it’s like $70 aud

I’ll wait for a local vendor

Normal is fine

Since the pole is short

Hehe

What is?

For the tx ap, I don’t get long pole right? If I’m getting gateron jades

quick gulch

Okay it doesn’t actually really matter ya

quick gulch

But I think you’ll want long pole for the jades

Shittt I alr ordered them without long pole

quick gulch

It doesn’t matter bro

Don’t stress

silver pecan

What’s the difference

i hate wobble

i tested it with a longpole switch i have and it can be quite annoying

whether or not you notice it normally is another thing

My jades come in soon. I cancled my raptors

Does the rakka pcb have support for 64%

untold wigeon
#

ye

tawdry tree

at the bottom

so they sound more like a classic non HE switch

untold wigeon

and the tolerances are much better

craggy viper

jades were also design for sound profile

gatteron sent me mine in this nice container

gateron make the zeal switches

it's a box switch though huh

It could be a unreleased switch based on zeal crystal tactile though @quick gulch spring weight is lighter

quick gulch

yea could be anything really

craggy viper

But free is free

cyan summit

is the brass weight for the redux60 recommended on a thocky build? scrajj

uncut musk
#

um from what i’ve read it’s not completely necessary, but i know a lot people have the brass weight in here so they’ll be able to answer

sand oasis
#

just makes the keyboard feel a lot more premium and depending on your region its not a huge extra cost

uncut musk
#

not sure if that video would be the best example since its a plastic case

quick gulch
#

doesn't matter

#

The entire point of the weight is this, it's not to make the keyboard heavier.

void hollow
#

if you allowed me to turn back time, to choose if i wanna get it, ill get it every other time

onyx pier
#

i think the brass weight helps with making it less hollow

void hollow
#

it does

onyx pier
#

yea

#

currently using it aswell

void hollow
#

some people mentioned that it allows for no foam, and in my opinion, if you used polyfill with it, it sounds amazing

#

and a brass weight to allow you to use your redux 60he to brick intruders, i could say it works almost as well as pubg's frying pan

onyx pier
#

i have polyfill planning to put it in soon

void hollow
onyx pier

also if i am getting gateron jades i need the long pole tx ap stabs?

Hey I have a question about the 60HE+ Module/the lekker 45 switches. They are compatible with cherry profile keycaps in the north facing configuration right? I just ordered one so it's the newest version if that's relevant. The keycaps that i ordered are the cement grey pbts from kbdfans and i bought the tofu redux case. Very original i know hehe

You don’t specifically need tx long pole stabs unless you have issues though
