#đ§âkeyboard_modding
1 messages ¡ Page 129 of 1
Hey guys, Iâve never modded a keyboard, changed keycaps or anything of the sort. I just got my wooting 60he and I wanted to change the keycaps. Do I need to find caps for lekker switches or can I use any cap? I saw a YouTuber use cherry mx key caps
Most Cherry/cross stem keycaps will do #đŞâmodding_faq message 
can anyone link me good stabs for the jades? I actually have no clue what to look for
ty
wait so I gather that plate mount/clip in/screw in all work on the 60he module but only plate mount works on the 60he
Correct.
The regular 60HE's PCB doesn't have the design required to support any installed stabilizers. It's on the plate - plate mount.
The 60HE Module's PCB was slightly redesigned for installing stabs on it, and the PC plate has the holes required as well.
I understand, thanks!!
so PC plate has different design from OG steel plate due to mounting hole for screwn in?
hmmm i guess i have to postpone plan for cutting custom plate again
until module arrive
i wish you had pc plate file
anybody got website recomendations for keycaps?
ty
module delay 
fellow NA-Cloud member đ
we got anymore videos of jades?
yeah its rough, thankfuly i decided to get the fast shipping so hopefully i get in the first few days of February
No one has gotten their module yet?
@void hollow 
on pc its so wierddd
nope
im gonna cry
plate foam = pcb foam
no one calls it that đ¤
alright
X2
I need more videos
sec lemme find you guys the video
Thxxx
imo jades kinda just sound like hand lubed lekkers
they dont though I have a direct comparison
I think they sound really good too
just depends on mods I guess tbh
its hard to find a sound test with exactly I wanna do
cf plate
clacky i would think of raptors instead
just buy them 
lekkers are their own thing imo, they sound a little more thocky to me but overall sound kinda odd
raptor is good clack
lekker is ....

direct comparison
I really wish they had smaller packs so I could test, might see if I can get them for my birthday tho
ooh, happy birthday in advance
idkw but the jades sound worse in this video
but sound so much thockier in others??
I wonder what that dudes config is
fr
they sell as 10
I really dont think so
lekkers sound wobbly and janky
lekkers need to burn in hell

i want jades but i cant afford them rn so 
gateron poison wooting since the begining
idk what was up with that video it sounded much worse then every other vid ive seen
I mean specifically in that video, I've heard them sound amazing
this is only explaination
weird I liked it
not for me. are you in the US?
checked aliexpress?
I felt like they sounded clackier and maybe even clicky tbh.
real
they have them on ali but they're kinda pricy
what funny is Amazon/Etsy is reseller of Ali and Ali is reseller of Taobao
lemme check shipping rq
for dyesbut set it is $30 Amazon / $20 Ali / $10 on Taobao
I did also just get christmas money and should be getting money in my account soon
I might just end up buying them myself tbh, but I already bought my module with L60s so kinda a waste of 20 bucks imo
imo Raptor is bang for buck and still has full travel for versatile DKS
true but I prefer thock
polyfill*
it seem people get ks20u dual rail already
BEST
I think my lekkers will do good while I wait for other switches tbh
I really want jades but I'll be so upset if a better switch comes out
correct
im thinking to sell my l45s actually
will just stick to stock l60s for the moment while i wait for new switches
probably the best options for our wallets lol
come Q2 this year im sure there will be a ton of HE switches to chose from
i overspent my allowance for this month already sooo- yeap!
i have the same opinion^
plus I have a buddy who's willing to help lube my L60s (he already got the lube kit since he and his brother got wootings a few months back. actually the reason im getting a wooting lol)
I've spent the most money ever this year I think
mainly buying games since I met some new people and didnt share any games with them
But arenât they better since no stem wobble?
imo steam wobble really isnt the biggest issue
yup yup like my GMK Darling set, except they have a pbt darling now
What is that
Jades dont have a full travel right?
Also the new ks-20âs have doble side rails now?
They remind me of Noctua. But in a knock-off kind of way visually.
Is that better?
they still have the hole so gonna sound dogshit
lmao the noctua of switches
What hole?
Hole for the magnet/stem or hole for the RGB pass through?
magnet hole
I think that hole is pretty necessary lol
Do you have a link?
the new jades dont have the hole lol
use common sense bruh
Thank you
The Kailh switches have been known for a while. They actually have 2 switch models
Kailh Sakura Pink Magnetic and Kailh Ice Cream Magnetic
can huano make some magnetics
With HE switches now available from gateron, raesha, kailh, heijn, zenaim, akko and one other company, I think its safe to assume that most other companies will jump on board as well (assuming Gateron loses their patent claim filing)
Bc the dual rail ones are the 2.0 version and are not sold separatelly, they come with the holy60 thing
they sold separately
just out of stock for now

i am planning to pair it with gmk sumi caps and a custom strap
should be endgame hopefully LOL
Looking gooood! I dream of this case in alu with gasket mount. Such a sleeper design 
light sand, i used a green scotchbrite pad with light pressure to scuff it a little before paint!
the paint i used included primer in it tho so there is that too haha
it really is a good design! i didnât want to buy another redux case for a white build as well and got inspired by fedegamer
oooooooh u wanted the link to them? I thought u wanted a link where it says dual rails is better bruh sry
I dont have link
I know the can doesn't say but usually the primer + paint is for prepainted surfaces. The primer in the combo cans don't do a good job on a virgin surface. I've tested plastics like PVC, pla, etc... with different combinations of sanding, primer, paint, and for sure sand+ primer+ paint/primer was the most durable. but I haven't tried the test on abs. Hopefully what you did will hold up cause it looks 10/10
didnât know that part but hopefully yeah it holds up LOL
i put a matte clear coat over it to help with durability since i heard that helps
also to help hide some of the small mistakes i made since this was my first time spray painting something
yeah it will help to a degree. good idea for matte to hide mistakes !
i think if you got a wrist pad it will help a lot too so you wont be touching the case. i suspect if your paint does flake, it will delaminate where the palms of your hands rest on the keyboard
@pallid echoif you havent taken off the tape yet
either take the tape off before the paint fully dries
or make sure to score the tape along the edge before removing. else the tape can take parts of the paint with it
ive made this mistake a couple of times
let me get started on that then
thanks for the heads up
almost perfect, got a little paint overhand on the top, any tips on how to take that off without damaging the other paint?
A sharp knife and very careful cutting?
welp i expected that to be the answer i just didnât want to risk messing it up lol
here goes nothing
looks great dude
made wootings first white plastic case
Should be pretty easy honestly
patent it
Aren't those for the akko
lucky
I was taking my nap did I do somethin
wooting still has my money and module and mansen wont help me
Necessary for what exactly?
PCB/Magnet
I canât imagine a piece of plastic between the two enhances âsignalâ
It doesnât affect it
I mean itâs not blocking it but itâs preventing the magnet from touching it
would it be a bad idea to purchase more gmk sets if i use my kb for gaming? i heard some stuff about shine but never experienced it myself
Idk if it normally would or not tho I guess
https://kbdfans.myshopify.com/collections/keycaps/products/dopamine-cherry-profile-keycaps-set anyone know if the price means $23 for the entire set? doesnt sound right
Hall effects do not rely on physical contact
Which is what makes them far better than traditional mechanical keyboard switches
Maybe the plastic is why it canât get 4.0
But yeah gotcha
Not really interfering then
a big upgrade imo
My space bar sounds scratchy after lubing.. and I canât figure out why
u can also turn the raptors into frankenswitches with the lekker stems but itâs personal preference
Iâve taken it apart 4 times
either way is good tho
Currently rocking the frakenlekker with the l45 stem/spring.
does the lekker stem only reduce wobble on raptor?
wonder if the stock rapotor is good enough
so to clarify stem change only improves wobble right
yea id reword it to mostly
But stock raptors are sweet
No reason to buy both if you donât already have the lekkers
i love my stock jades
Just fun experiment if you already have them
Iâm probably going to get another HE switch at some point tho
I donât love the raptors
Theyâre good but not perfect
IMO
are u going to try out the 2.0 orange switches
idk Iâll probably just wait a while until a bunch drop
Donât feel like buying everyone as they drop lol
i ordered some but i wont know how they would sound (got it with a holy60 preorder)
but switch wise if u want a good sound profile get the gatteron jades
u dont even need to mod the stock wooting with it and itll sound good still @polar girder
seems like it is the entire set since there's no other option
it looks right for all 131 keys
its just a run of the mill pbt keycaps
and not overpriced abs keycaps
Stock Jades FTW
I'm going to redo my switch tape mod but more thoroughly this time
Be back in.....7+ hours.....
this is my scuffed sound test
just buy another switch?!
im broke
me buying just jades to make the wooting sound better vs the ppl spending over 600 and it still sounds mediocre
must do budget and time consuming way
and they still need to tape mod and foam
ye literally LOL
gatteron jades are pretty cheap
for what they are
i dont think cheap is the right word for this but tehnically you are right
cheat code for better sound
considering they destroy even tape modded and lubed up lekkers
good value
Those are genuine? Cheaper than the first I saw on Ali, also free shipping
time is money
That JYBMAK thingy, ugh
get them from gaterons official store
those are genuine but u can buy them direct from gatteron
Ah, didn't know
well its 56 usd on their usa website
sound wise yes
raptors are better than the standard lekker (l45/l60) and gatteron ks20s but not better than jades
same perf and the jades are a 30gf spring
just bottoms out sooner
lekkers performance within each others are very mariginal
the problem i have with the raptors is they are still quite spendy and do not fix the main issue i have with the lekkers fully
lighter
they are lighter i think
btw jade owners are they too light?
that is a point of concern
u get used to it
i only ever used 60-90g switches before and thats what im used to
if its too light just do a spring swap
same starting weight 30gf but the jades end at 37g and not 45
i love typing on them feels like typing on butter
eventually ill lube them and put 68 grams springs in it
i could be lazy and steal the 40gf starting - 60gf end springs from the l60s
that was my plan but the lekker springs are shit
they need a lot of lube at the bottom to sound good
it shouldnt matter on the jades
bc the closed off pom housing
taking apart 141 switches is quite annoying too
true
its nylon housing iirc
thats why u only take off 60
why do so many people care abt RGB
disable rgb is always better
if u want performance
wasnt that what u cared about?
just sayin
rgb off > rgb
right now i do have rgb with aoe but i do swap between rgb off and aoe rgb a lot
ngl aoe is the best fx imo 
its the only one i use
i feel like its a proper way to flex the hall effect switches
as no other razer or corsair pleb can do AOE properly
like I haven't been friends with any other fx, maybe jelly but not that much
yes.
unless they are really really good abs so no rgb shines through but that might not be the case
Rgb overrated ngl
yea just saying
and the wear when using abs is horrible aswell
especially on white

Features: 1. The matte process is adopted, and the surface of each keycap has a slight grainy feel. The pbt material is more suitable for the skin of the fingers and is comfortable to the touch 2. This set of keycaps includes supplementary keys of various sizes.You can use them to build multiple ...
Yes
Yes
Although pretty sure both of them dont have iso compatibility
iso is not too pretty xd
but for ansi its sweet? will fit nice?
Ye for ansi its good
PBT
does anyone know any pbt sets that look similar to gmk sumi?
but there r also some pretty high end pbt sets
would u guys get gmk for a board that would be primarily used for gaming? i heard it can shine really fast
i did
they look good
hmmmm might just commit to gmk sumi then
maybe iâll like it whenever it shines but it will probably be a long long time
gmk feels nicer imo
also novel keys has a sale for gmk keycaps
b2 get 1 free base set
ive only tried one gmk set but i can say it is much much higher quality then anything else ive tried
u guys convinced me
anyone got any gateron dot com coupon codes? xD
i donât use my gmk strikers as much for gaming but iâll give it a try too
pbtfans is also shit and loses texture which makes the keycap feel like shit
just got the jades, now to wait for wooting to ship my plate
mine did that on the wasd keys in 3 months
considering GMK actually shines the whole keycap and doesn't have half good and half bad like mine are, I'd say it's more durable
and better to use once it's fucked
https://www.amazon.com/GATERON-Crystal-Stabilizer-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B0BZYK3X1S?ref_=ast_sto_dp will these be needed for the 60HE + Module as they dont come with any stabilisers?
the module does come with stabilizers
oh gotcha, fine to just use stock ones? - I'm clearly very new to this hobby haha
oh shiet
the sad part is that stock wooting just with those jades outperforms my tofu60redux with lubed l60s
U know when jades are good when it's on a stock wooting
Pein
i ordered the jades but i was expecting this
well, no one has gotten them in hand, so its hard to say, but probably fine to use the stock ones
ever since i was opening up these switches
Btw my jades aren't lubed @untold wigeon they feel as smooth as ink blacks
i knew no matter how much money you spend it will be shit
i know
Maybe oil kings
Sheesh
thats why they are so expensive im guessing
yep
most people dont realize how big of an achievement this is
fr
it makes even the discounted L45s with the module look like a ripoff imo
Like the prelube from the factory is majorly improved comparing to what it was before
there might be a 3x price difference but the sound is atleast 10 times better
now we got the most solid sounding HE switch in the market atm
guys i promise i will buy a new set of HE switches in the future
mine are coming i guess
55 usd isn't that bad
i paid 79 for them because of VAT and shit
Im Canadian so id probably pay 100$
đ
If not more
hundo ius crazzzyyy
budget america 
That's what I'm doing
ceramic keycaps would go pretty fucking well with these jades
ceramic keycaps make your keyboard instantly way more deep
.80 per for me
I might use alu mizus
i was looking at cerakeys but they are out of stock
how much is it again?
and the light springs on the jades will create issues
cerakeys is cheaper than GMK believe it or not
56 usd for 70 switches
Oh i know
the legends will fade tho
how you get .80
But I can get 3x gmk sets for 300
so it's best to just buy them blanks
56 usd / 70 switches
at NK?
1.8 switches per $
For every 1.8 switches u get a $1
m
That's what u did
lost again pt 2
X/y = x per y
Y/x = y per x
Bc u divided the amount of switches per dollar
i shouldve not tooken cs
made me brain dead
Over dollar per switch
you have any stab issues with the jades?
Nope
good
No issues
If u have issues just take a l60 switch spring and swap it in
No wobble
i will change out to the module so considering the 20 bucks it might be worth it to get some tx long pole stabs
Yeah im thinking of spring swapping the 60 grams into my future HE set
prefer 60-65 grams
I got used to 30 bc of thr yuki aim keeb
mm
I'm sad that the 80he case isn't standardized
tbf tho, is there a standard 75%/TKL?
no
so how could it be standardized?
not really possible
I can cope
haha fair
I just want a more blocky modern look
75% and TKL doesnt have a standard. There are a few common PCB layouts but you run into commonality problems when you consider the F row (F13 or no F13?, knob or no knob, stacked F keys or spaced F keys) and thats before you event start talking about USB port placement, daughter board or no daughterboard, etc etc
I mean there isnt even a standard that says TKL should have 87 keys or 88 keys.
maybe you dont know, idk how much info you know as woothelp, but why doesnt the 80HE include a knob, that is a pretty popular feature right?
WHERES MY KNOB WOOTING????? nah, i dont care too much for knobs
bro owns a million keyboard đ
To me Pops knows everything :)
I think knobs are great but I also don't think they are mainstream yet. I'd guess less than 10% of the mech keyboard market sales have a knob. For sure less than 20%.
hmm, maybe not as popular as i tought, i tought it was becoming more and more common, kinda like you start to see with screens now
If knobs are an important and popular feature, I'm sure Wooting will adopt it or do something even better.
forget knobs, I need a switch to turn my brain on and off
you can turn that on, mines just off by default

Why not a bongo cat screen
the real inovation wooting needs
e-ink is the new hotness
sweet fanny adams - das crazy!
I need bongo cat to play the bongos when I type
e-ink that can show you system stats
thats how you become pro gamer. no one cares about rapid trigger, give me bongo cat
Exactly
Bongo cat gives free performance
2nd
i need me a pc kohaku, i will beg elaine daily

The new SAT75 X is coming soon. The Satisfaction 75 is a 75% keyboard designed by Upas featuring a rotary encoder (knob), and an OLED screen. The design was inspired by Pirate Captain Henry Morgan's flagship vessel the "Satisfaction". The curve in the back of the case is reminiscent of a pirate ship.

Was gonna say the raptors have some wobble still compared to Jades
Like Iâve said before Jades are like stem swapped Raptors but without the friction feel
And sound better
hope its soon 


No
ight
my jades are on the way
why
light springs
I actually find myself typing faster on the jades
no rebound, no soul
i use 40 gram springs rn and the rebound is kind of weak and it makes me feel lazy to play sometimes lol
lol on Jades Iâm getting like avg 120 wpm while on raptors and lekkers I was like 90-100 wpm
may swap the jades ones out if i do get them
damn thats nice
ya give em a try - very nice
45g is my sweet spot i think
I'm thinking of putting the l60 springs in them
damn, thats quite the difference
This guy is a member of my local keeb community and made some awesome knobby boards
30g springs is nice but want more
Or just the pad
Yeah I mean, I didnât do super thorough testing , I could just be typing better one day lol but I felt like I could type faster and more comfortably on the Jades
nice details on the knob
never
I'm used to 68g springs on pandas
But the jades exp is satisfying
Iâve tried knob boards but I never find myself utilizing them fully with the audio setup I have
same
If I could buy a 70g spring on the jades I will
i love seeing keycaps ill never be able to have thanks to nobody caring about iso
what keycaps, maybe not looking hard enough?
70g tho?
think so
i spent at least 2 hours every day of the last week looking through keycaps
i settled for blanks
cause i couldnt do it anymore
rookie numbers, try 24 whilst in a hot tub sipping your favorite red wine
blanks are goated but I've yet to try em
so if i see a good looking iso (preferably de) set ill get them
but im not spending 145 for a set and then 70 more for international layout
erm what the flip chat
I know the perfect solution: POM blanks from a Das Keyboard 2. Aftermarket is around $300 
Yeah I donât wanna use cerakeys
link me up
Hmmm
its crazy that not even german keycap manufacturers care about iso de
mechmarket is your only hope, the last I saw was $400usd but with the whole kb. fk that
anyone got experience with akko keycaps?
considering the gear i own, $400 isnt that bad except this is for keycaps
Here some cheap blanks
I don't think I've really heard a bad thing about Akko, just an honest and affordable brand, I guess. Worth a try if the price is up your alley
that is dangerously cheap
lol I know but it had good reviews
considring how my experience is for pbtfans pbt, its concerning
I personally hate how cheap it is
ye its a bit concerning
they support 7u and split shift too
No manufacturer is immune to faults though, even GMK mid 2023 had plenty of reports of twisted stems on the bottom row caps. About 16 designs had these issues
my pbtfans 7u spacebar is warped
Oh 1,000%, I know all too well of reputable mfgs that make mistakes
Really comes down to how a company handles a situation
Everyone makes mistakes, what matters is how you handle it
Bought the jades, excited to try them out đđť
They suck refund them
Yeah
Raptors too high pitched for me
hows the RGB with the Jades? cause it looks pretty clear right?
Yeah itâs clear
leans a little bit to the blue
not crazy tho
RGB is normal
nobody buy them, only me
Essentially
lets just say 99% clear
damn, now idk if i should get them, i use blue RGB anyway haha
That is what I am using now in the wooting, they will shine but the color is good, the other set I have is from drop
Youâll be fine
Hellll yeaaaa less work for me
well, its also the fact i have L60s im not gonna use, and ive got L45's im not gonna use then. but hmmmm
i dont love the stem woble on the lekkers....
Finally wonât have to use the switch tape mod once I get the jades 
Get Jades then you donât have to worry about stem wobble, stem swap, or switch tape mod
Tbh donât even have to worry about lube
But I always enjoy a good hand lube session
im not gonna lube regardless...
same
Giggity
CAM how scratchy are the raptors with stem swap?
can you show us a pic of rgb with the jades?
RGB is slightly offf, but not bad
If youâre as sensitive as I am , youâll feel the friction and ill assume you wonât like it
I can upload a picture with all white, but the picture doesnt help much tbh
I want my stems to fly thru the housing like butter, I donât want any friction, I donât want wobble either, but I donât want it so tight that thereâs a sense of friction
@harsh dove is the magnet just as strong in the Jades as the lekkers, or do you have to change the actuation and what not
I havenât bothered with actuation, I have my WASD on 0.3 and most other keys on 1.2 and 2.0
Feels good to me
hmmm, ok ok. they do have full range aswell right
Raptors it was more noticeable
Since travel on the jades is 3.5 does that mean I have to set actuation differently or am I just bein stupid
Iâd say a hint stronger.. but itâs nit picking
Nvm I think Iâm just being stupid
0.2 - 3.5mm
so @harsh dove if u set actuation to .1 will it just actuate at .2 instead
okay great
damn.... its hard to find anything about the jades to dislike at this point
Iâd have to find it
just price point compared to other he switches
but still well worth it imo
well, yeah. that
cant wait for mine to come
i thought they would be last to come for my build but then module got delayed
i dont really care too much about the sound, dont hear it anyways whilst gaming, but the stem woble does bother me, so this is really making me consider getting them
yea i gotta wait a bit to get jades bc i got raptors not too long ago and dont wanna spend another 60-70 dollars
I think the price may or may not have to do with the bottom housing and lube jobs? But probably a stretch as I donât manufacture switches haha so idk the ins and outs of their cost per switch so to speak
what is the spring weight, i cant find it?
I was gonna cop the raptors just to try them out Iâm glad I didnât lol
prob bc its a bigger difference in design
every he switch before it were very similar
idk tho
Yeah Iâm not sure what goes into the design cost of the Jades
this seems like its a step forward in the evolution for HE switches, so yeah.. could have something to do with it
But I figure the bottom housing mightâve costed more
They're good but Jade decided to crash the party. I don't think you'd be too disappointed with Rap's imo
@harsh dove idk where you are from, but do you per chance know where to get them in EU
is there an EU vendor, or do i just have to pay for shipping
The RGB is set to white, as you can see there is a slight blue hint to them.. the space bar led are for reference
Mechkeys?
They just arenât my sound preference. For anyone else tho I think they would be great
Yeah I still like the Raptors but Jades def do it for me
tbf, the white RGB just has a blue/green hint to it by default
I think Iâm just tired of the switch tape mod tbh I love how it gives a deeper sound, but only my WASD has fully broken in lol
I mean⌠if weâre being technical, white RGB isnât a real thing lol. Itâs just a combination of all the colors
Source; put your eye up to your LED
And see how all the colors are lit up
Only way to have a white led is to have actual white LEDs
mechkeys does have them, but seems pretty expensive. but i found i can get them from gateron own site for 56USD with like 4 shipping
But RGB white is always just a combo of all colors
Iâm just saying, there is a difference in color.. yâall donât have to get technical on me lmao đ
Oh get them from Gateron official then
Thatâs what I did
^
No no no lol not towards you at all. Iâm just generally speaking just so people know
im not him, but because the Jades seem like the better pick is his reasoning it seems
cam what cable do u use
Hahah I got you, I was just trying to help đ
I use a Lindy x Lemo at home and a Wooting Stealth at work @sweet cedar
does the lindy x lemo work with tachyon mode
those r the two options im considering
Help is much appreciated, always good to provide information to peeps
do you use your wooting at work?
Yes
Yes
getting those spreadsheets typed in with rapid trigger for increased productivity
if you can then why not lol
to do your job you mean?
Yeah
haha, yeah. i need one of those too
oh, do you know the spring weight for the jades, thats the only thing i cant find clearly?
last question about the switches, promise
well, i ordered the jades, happy now @harsh dove đ
Itâs like a 30g switch
it said 30 +-7 or something like that, so i wasnt completly sure
Think the operation force is like 30+-7gf
Yeah they light af
ook yeah
Yeah itâs like 38 centinewtons
well, i already prefered to L45s over the L60, so well see
i could always spring swap if needed i guess
Hope we get some good competitors to the jades by the time the 80 he releases
Yeah jades being lighter than l45âs about to make me order them rn 
No
You have to compensate
Think 0.3 is like 0.1
Probably some more info online tho
Stronger magnet
According to Sno the raptor's magnet is more sensitive
And Iâm open to questions lol, I wonât bite
I definitely donât know everything but Iâll help as much as I can
ooh yeah, but i was asking so many things
I havenât noticed a difference personally, I noticed it more with Raptors
And I actually lowered my actuation slightly from when I had the Raptors in
From 0.7 to 0.4 now Iâm on 0.3
With the Jades
Lmao sure
Nah they just have a stronger magnet
So it bottoms out faster so to speak
seems kinda stange, setting it lower with the lighter switch, you would think other way around would make more sense
Yeah but Iâm weird
ive got 0.5 and 0.3 on WASD
are you getting the module too cam?
cause otherwise you have a ton of switches for 1 board lol
yeah, ive got a 60HE and im getting a module too
Why 21
so, atleast it wont be such a waste to have so many switches haha
refund them all
Cause Jades
im on the Jades train now (ignore that i ordered 10 mins ago)
And you could wait for the dual rail designs to come out but I donât feel like theyâll have a distinct sound like the Jades do
How long did it take for gateron to ship your jades? I ordered like 6 days ago and still not shipped so im worried about the shipping time aswell
Iâll check my invoice
what would you like more? from as far as i can tell jades are better pretty much every way?
tysm 
They received my payment on the 21st of December and I got shipping confirmation on the 23rd of December
what vid
i mean... sure i guess
Then I got them 5 days later on the 28th
gateron.com right?
did u pay expensive shipping?
for me expedited was like 20, and normal 4, so i just went with normal. ill have to wait anyways, since im gonna use them with module. so its not like i need to get them right now
i took cheap 10-20 days shipping time, do you think they use that estimate from time of placing order or from when shipped? since now if it's 10 -20 from shipping and not shipped yet i would like to pay more for shipping
I would assume itâs taking longer because more people are ordering them now compared to when I got them, they basically were barely released
Okay hopefully they ship soon, thanks for ur info
When I ordered it said 7 people owned them now it says over 200 people on the site
Fair enough
Raptors are still good
Wooting will probably make a better version though
202 sold rn on the site
jades are light AF it seems, so it might not be for everyone
Iâll be honest though, the light weight didnât bother me as much as I thought it would
I thought itâd bother me more
But I enjoy them
i like the lightweight, so i think i will like the jades
otherwise i will have to make some frankenswitches
I say that because I heard Calder testing out the new raptors vs Lekkers and notice minor differences
So Iâd assume heâs testing just to test but also to check out the competition
And see what they can do to improve their own switch
I think thereâs a right time and place for everything
probably not soon, cause i dont think they want to release new switches until they have a significant improvement
Would be cool if they were working on or made new switches with the Wooting80HE
yeah true, but i dont expect it
imma try 0.4 and 0.2 WASD actuation
ooh, i like it. snappy af, and not really misclicking
yeah, cmon wooting. just make everything better then everyone else
I mean they did that with their keyboard and especially their software
So I could see them making a really good switch
ooh yeah, i was being sarcastic. they make great products, so i wouldnt rule it out. but you cant really complain that their first version of HE switches arent perfect
I mean the Lekker Switch end goal is in house ideal HE switch production
They just outsource it until they can figure it out
Well itâs been an evolution through multiple suppliers
Gateron could just meet their needs the most adequately
the fact that lekkers are from gateron could mean that they could offcourse implement parts of the jade design in the lekker switches in the future, so thats something to consider
Yeah I mean at the end of the day, the Lekker gets the job done
Just comes down to personal sensitivities to things
Some people are gonna notice the wobble and hate it
Some gamers are just gonna game and be happy
most gamers dont really care about the smaller issues with the Lekkers, they will only care about its performance
its mostly the enthusiasts that find issues with it
And thatâs kind of where the line is drawn between someone who just wants a gaming keyboard and someone who wants a custom gaming keyboard aka enthusiasts
Yep
the only "issue" ive got is the wobble, but its not like a massive issue. i would just prefer not to have it, but i can totally live with it
but if i can change it, then why not
Yeah
People who came from custom boards tho, typically donât like the sound of Lekkers or HE switches in general
They put that thock juice in em
yeah, but thats just something they will have to deal with if they want the best performance
Hmm.. Thock Juice
đ§
Need to make a lube brand now
Buy my Thock Juice 205g0
And my Thock Juice Grease
for gaming, for sure
i think hes getting drunk on the thocc juice, hes an addict man
Tell me you wouldnât buy some lube and grease kit called Thock Juice
Everyone would buy it lmao
underground thock dealers
The sound profile isnât my preference. I honestly was just excited there was a new HE switch coming out. Decided to wait for local distribution, not sure if they have that yet either tbh
Thatâll be Tirade the ThockFather
The 80HE looks reaaaal nice
its him, the thockfather.
Heâll be running Organized Crime with keyboard switches
I like it
you guys need some cool switches 
60 & TKLs are my go to
is that a question
if it is, then the answer is YES
Cool like menthol switches?
Like when you type you feel a cool minty breeze on your fingertips?
its just some frozen lekkers 
what is the new HE switch coming out? nm I think Jacob talking about raptors.
New audio interface is here. Hopefully I'll have time to set it up by next week
Bros got the midi keys, can make some beats with that haha
I know they arenât but they look similar
lol, probably not but I do think you can set them up for sound effects and voice overlays
Oh, really? That'd be fun to mess around with
Silent Thock core
peel it
4 hours and 30 minutes passed by redoing switch tape mod before I even knewi t
@quiet bay @fluid ravine check general chat voice

anybody know if g.skill crystal crowns fit on a wooting 60he in a tofu redux?
They'll work fine
ok
Jades dif
When starting my pc, do i have to choose my keyboardâs profile everytime? Or am i doing something wrong?
the cyan is the profiles
You can bind the profiles to Fn layer 1
black pc plate đż
we had it all along đż

funny af always a new leak
I want to try out an aluminum plate
lmao you're welcome
Thank you
says that after i have a CF plate coming đż
but đż
cam poking around for some leaks
Vibrates?
yes
Aluminum Plate for Wooting off smkeyboards is expensive đ
so hoping for wooting to make their own so it's less expensive
You don't have to
u dont
THANK YOU
if u have a pc plate just keep it
kk thanks
ofc i bought all of them, so don't do what i did
Guess I'll be getting a Black PC Plate
and which one did you like the most?
with the normal lekker switch nothing matters 
it does
was joke
steel is very loud
you mean alu
where did you get a steel one
the default plate is steel
Wooting comes with Steel Plate
ups thought its alu messed it up
what issue?
tolerances and still clacky
kid, you donât have the raptors right?
friendly reminder, stem will wobble a bit for tolerance sake
0% wobble mean you cant make stem move without excessive force
like raptor with stem swap is good example
the sky is blue
it is bad switch because it is too tight and require more force to press
just reminder, because sometimes i think newcomers will think "no wobble = good, a biit wobble = bad"
i didnt say you are one
i have 6 keyboards
Which EU store sells Raptors w/o shipping cost of 20million?
nothing to check
fuck off
i will do the fuck part tonight
where you did order plate?
in your gpuâs display ports was it?
kbdfans
in your moms clitoris
good at least they include standoff
@ Senior Moderator
kbdfans for fr4/cf. smkeyboards for alu but u need standoffs
I answered for him
he is my son
so ye Iâd know
because you can use kbdfans standoff on snkeyboard
a fossil rock formation
maybe
is anyone here from europe that has raptor switches left over?
ur an rgb andy?
u dont see the switch bozo
tf
in china bruh
