normal schooner

LMFAO

Guess I gotta buy all plates and make a video

#

While I’m over here paying $17 for a PC plate

#

And yes I know it’s CAD but still

#

That’s ridiculous

harsh dove

$53 sounds like a scam

silver pecan
harsh dove
#

At that point I’d just live without it

Fuck that

why does that even exist man

#

always dhl too

untold wigeon
#

here its fedex

#

i literally got sent a free plate by kbdfans didnt pay 1 cent and now at customs they wouldn't let it pass through yesterday

#

they treat it like i get fucking bombs or something

quick gulch
#

Because your money would go out of country otherwise

gaunt linden
#

Is it normal for Space bar to wobble a little?

pale aspen
silver pecan
#

i have the same build pre much except for the brass bar

#

do u guys think thats why his sounds like crunchier

#

theres no way it makes that much difference right?

untold wigeon
#

it does

#

the weight weighs a lot too

silver pecan
#

cause he has the fr4

#

like does it make it more clacky/thocky, and is it the opposite with carbon fiber?

untold wigeon
#

idk how it is with the jades but with the lekkers the fr4 makes it a bit clackier and the carbon makes it deeper

silver pecan
#

okay thanks

pale aspen
pale aspen
#

cf usually force clack on every switch

silver pecan
#

fuckkk

#

already ordered it

pale aspen
#

you can get thock with pc anyway

#

dont bother much

silver pecan
#

pc?

#

i got cf

#

also w jades, does the stock foam make it deeper?

#

i see a lot of ppl taking it off

pale aspen
#

oh

#

you bought prebuilt he

silver pecan
#

yeah

pale aspen
#

i dont have jade on hand yet

#

just pray

#

kididng, you can thock just fine but it might be harsh/a bit loud thock

untold wigeon
#

not cherry

#

like holy shit

quick gulch
#

cherry switches kinda goated idk

#

last nice gateron switch I tried was pink or cj

untold wigeon
#

cherry switches goated?

#

lmao

#

you must be drunk

tawdry tree
untold wigeon
#

they have like 3 good switches

tawdry tree
#

no bro

#

cherry goatee

quick gulch
#

nah they're all good honestly

untold wigeon
#

goatee?

pale aspen
#

just need a lot of work

silver pecan
#

i emailed kdbfans to exchange the plate

quick gulch
#

yea thate's the issue

#

they need work

silver pecan
#

do u guys think theyll do it?

untold wigeon
quick gulch
#

??

untold wigeon
tawdry tree
#

also stem wobble is fine, it’s the housing wobble that gets ya

quick gulch
#

of course they're good switches haha

pale aspen
#

i usually just buy off who L+F and broken in lol

silver pecan
#

also on that guys vid hes using FR4

untold wigeon
#

ig if u like his setup

#

go for it

quick gulch
#

people love to hate browns as a joke

#

but not many people have actually tried nice browns

silver pecan
#

those are dogshit i had them

quick gulch
#

cherry springs are complete dogshit though

silver pecan
#

all cherry switches are dogshit

quick gulch
#

but they've changed them now so maybe they're better, doesn't matter though just spring swap

untold wigeon
#

its probably one of the worst tacticles known to man kind

quick gulch
#

fair enough

nixies are just cherry blacks with extra steps

At first it drove me nuts.. but it’s nice to rest my feet on now to be honest!

eternal marten
#

anyone know what switches are compatible with the wooting if i were to swap them?

tawdry tree
#

and Lekker Switches of course.

untold wigeon
#

Jades are KS20T

tawdry tree
#

Doc

tawdry tree
#

This is the KS-20

#

Look bottom right

untold wigeon
#

aint no way

tawdry tree
#

“KS-20T series”

#

🤣🤣🤣

untold wigeon
#

u got the whole ass instructions and shit

tawdry tree
#

ofc

untold wigeon
#

whats next

sweet cedar
#

bro pulled out the blueprints😭

#

might as well make them urself

untold wigeon
#

what a fucking nerd

tawdry tree
untold wigeon
#

blueprints andy

tawdry tree
#

the naming tho

#

I think gateron actually doesn’t know the names of their own switches anymore

flat rampart
#

should i switch tape mod and lube the L60's or get the jades?

craggy viper
#

Jades too good makes the stock wooting sound good

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

you will never get the 5 hours you spend back on those pieces of shit

#

but the $70 you spend on the jades you get back

#

pretty big difference

craggy viper
#

And for jades u don’t even need to live them bc it’s properly lubed

untold wigeon
#

lubed*

#

and even tape modded lekkers lose really badly sound wise

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

it is a lost cause

#

tho wooting did not design these switches

#

it is gaterons fault

craggy viper
#

and it already sounds better than most ppls custom wootings

#

they spend $400+ modding lol

untold wigeon
#

i spent close to 1k on 2 wootings and if i used the L60 and L45s both would be crushed sound wise by that

#

thats wild

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

i mean sure this is still a big upgrade vs stock

#

but fucking hell

#

it sounds so bad

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

nah it would for sure

#

but not to this degree

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

it just goes to show you everything in a keyboard can make a huge difference

tawdry tree
#

bro

craggy viper
tawdry tree
#

the lekkers as standards is so fucking low

#

incomparable

untold wigeon
craggy viper
#

im waiting for my orange 2.0s

untold wigeon
tawdry tree
#

the fact that lekkers are shit doesn’t mean the next best thing is great

craggy viper
#

they feel and sound good

tawdry tree
untold wigeon
#

yes it does

craggy viper
#

rip raptors he and orange ks20s

untold wigeon
#

the Jades in a tofu just make it sound like an actual normal tray mounted tofu

tawdry tree
#

great is not normal

untold wigeon
#

the lekkers in a tofu make it sound worse than a razer keyboard

#

are you trolling right now

#

i can't tell

tawdry tree
#

they sound like normal non HE switches, not like great switches

untold wigeon
#

blud this is a gaming keyboard the fact that it can even get anywhere close to a custom is wild

untold wigeon
#

with the lekkers its very far off

tawdry tree
untold wigeon
#

Jades are objectively good

tawdry tree
#

they sound far better than lakkers I agree with that.

#

But compared to other switches I’d say they sound normal

#

not crazy and not bad at all

untold wigeon
#

thats all i wanted

pale aspen
craggy viper
pale aspen
#

long pole bang or not?

untold wigeon
#

it is extremely overpriced yeah

#

they are only doing this because they can

#

there is no competitor to this switch

craggy viper
tawdry tree
#

all he switches are overpriced af

untold wigeon
#

except for when you add VAT then its 70 for me and thats double the raptors

untold wigeon
pale aspen
#

i wonder in the future, if they could decrease magnet to make jade has 4.0 travel distance

untold wigeon
#

they could've done it right now

#

but they chose not to

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

i'm kinda happy it's 3.5

pale aspen
#

some people just like full travel switch

untold wigeon
#

i never use DKS tho

pale aspen
#

for me, i am fine

tawdry tree
pale aspen
#

also, full travel kinda foolproof end user

craggy viper
pale aspen
#

stab-wise

untold wigeon
#

yes they sound shit but they perform really fucking good

pale aspen
#

i know i use wrong term for he lol

pale aspen
#

some people just like conventional 4.0mm travel distance
let me rephrase

untold wigeon
#

well they might or might not, i don't really care

#

I am tired of this shit ass switch

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

my Jades have cleared china customs and are on their fucking way

polar girder
#

Nice

untold wigeon
#

that's all that matters

craggy viper
#

the ppl that buy lekker dont care about that

polar girder

pale aspen
#

dont worry this year gonna be wild

Yes

craggy viper

#

Year of the HE dragon

untold wigeon
#

i'm not gonna spend close to 1k on keyboard that sound like this

pale aspen
#

i have plan for f1/f2 with venom tkl already

untold wigeon
craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

ye tell me how it is

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

i'm actually curious

#

if it actually sounds good with the jades, I wouldn't mind an updated board on my desk

craggy viper
#

bc cool holes

untold wigeon
#

for me it has to sound good and look good

pale aspen
#

March tho
i dropped plan for holy because why tf they dont ship case separately first

untold wigeon
#

tho mostly towards sound

untold wigeon
pale aspen
#

kbdfans told me thry will ship case only together with

untold wigeon
#

but its still for march

pale aspen
#

prebuolt

untold wigeon
#

it is seperate

pale aspen
#

i mean, i asked them

#

everything is ready

#

just need to ship same time with prebuilt

#

dont know why

untold wigeon
#

did you get the takka60 pcb too

#

or just the case

pale aspen
#

Case production is done

untold wigeon
#

cuz if you got both ofc they ship together

pale aspen
#

case only was my plan

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

its not that far off

craggy viper
#

its a GB

pale aspen
#

i mean at that time
i probably use Tiger lite with Venom TKL already

#

wooting and rakka is just temporary

craggy viper
#

i wonder how the bottom case foam would make the holy60 sound

pale aspen
#

it would hang and ugly i assume

untold wigeon
tawdry tree
#

Holy60 Case sounds good if you play loud music

craggy viper
tawdry tree
#

It looks great

untold wigeon
#

so that i can hide my $500 keyboard that i bought for sound

bronze grove
untold wigeon
#

you are not gonna see them anyways

craggy viper
#

but arent u curious about the sound profile

untold wigeon
#

the foam will do nothing

#

its the same foam that comes with the tofu

bronze grove
untold wigeon
#

its extremely thin

craggy viper
#

foam is there to help me cope @untold wigeon

pale aspen
#

plate foam

untold wigeon
#

we both have something in common

pale aspen
#

plate foam with soft plate (3rd party)

craggy viper
pale aspen
#

i dont see the point of plate foam in stiff plate

#

(in holy60 btw)

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

the plate foam barely does anything with the pc plate in the stock plastic case

untold wigeon
#

i always think of something else

craggy viper
untold wigeon
#

i know

craggy viper
#

its such a long word tho

untold wigeon
#

but i still think abt smth else

#

shorten it to ppl

craggy viper
#

no loods

#

pplate

untold wigeon
#

or that

craggy viper
#

no fun @untold wigeon but the pp plate should only cost me 30 to make thankfully

untold wigeon
#

i should buy a holy60 so i have all 4 wooting cases on my desk fr

craggy viper
#

holy60 looks cool so i agree

untold wigeon
#

i will still main the tofu

craggy viper
#

get it with a CF plate kekw

untold wigeon
#

iu already have the CF plate

#

well fedex has it

craggy viper
#

brass plate

untold wigeon
#

whether they give it or not well that depends

craggy viper
#

rip

untold wigeon
#

i gave them a new invoice that kbd sent me

#

this is what happens when fedex lets employees that are on probation deal with this

pale aspen
untold wigeon
#

i meant sound wise

pale aspen
#

also you mean pc plate that you buy extra?

untold wigeon
#

yes

#

the only foam that changes things and for the worse too is the silicone pad

pale aspen
#

i see, we were talking about different poinnt

untold wigeon
#

i'm sure the silicone pad would work good with the raptors

pale aspen
#

clack clack clack

untold wigeon
#

but with the lekkers it makes them even springier

#

didn't think that was possible

#

i thought i was trolled when I put it in

#

in the stock case tho no matter what, the steel plate is better than pc

pale aspen
#

lekker is cursed, i never heard of the switch that could make CF not to clack

#

this is wooting, i gave to my friend

#

ignore shtty keycap he wanted tho

#

he can never leave pudding keycap

#

imo, at that time i consider acrylic case give better sound profile than alu

tawdry tree
#

A cat?

A three eyed cat

with keycaps

it looks suck

Lekker's are legendary. Everything else is just predictably boring

untold wigeon
#

@loud zephyr stop TROLLING!!!!!!

#

or else ima pull ur leg

loud zephyr
#

Wot u mean trolling, stock Wooting has character. By no means perfect but at least it's instantly recognizable. Six more weeks and Jade's will be yesterdays news. Sorry(not sorry) but that's how it is and that's how it goes

💀

neon harbor
#

what keycaps would be nice with a white tofu 60he case?

untold wigeon
#

stuff like that

neon harbor
#

bow looks nice

untold wigeon
#

a lot of stuff works with white

neon harbor
#

question (might sound stupid)

so i know there are keycaps that are like solid, as in the the rgb lights dont shine trough the letter symbol on the keycap, what keycaps should i look for to have like a see-trough letter so that the rgb can shine trough it

legit thought of no other way to formulate this question

untold wigeon
#

RGB caps are pretty cheap and shit most of them, just keep your stock ones

#

they are probably the best RGB keycaps you can get

neon harbor
#

noted. thanks a lot

#

imma look for inspo

untold wigeon
#

@harsh dove is rich, get him to buy you all gmk sets

neon harbor
#

dear @harsh dove please buy me a gmk keycap set ty ❤️

untold wigeon
#

LMFAO

#

what a legend

neon harbor
#

for the wooting 60he, im supposed to look for a cherry profile, correct?

bronze grove
#

OEM or Cherry are the most two common profiles.

#

We sell OEM except for the Take Control set, which is Cherry

neon harbor
#

take control looks nice though

#

well for the gmk keycap sets I browsed the cherry and oem profile section, only found two that i liked x)

weak nest
#

What keycaps should I get for a black Todo 60he

#

Anything good on Amazon cuz I got $100 credit?

untold wigeon
#

most gmk sets are above 100

weak nest
#

I'm just Tryna use my credit

untold wigeon
#

i would not go on amazon for keycaps

weak nest
#

Aight

untold wigeon
#

Drop has some GMK sets which are legit

#

they also have MT3 keycaps which are taller and stuff

#

and their DCX lineup which is ABS and close to GMK but cheaper

#

pbtfans is the convo too and if you are in the eu there are retailers that carry it

thorny isle
#

will a third party coiled cable affect the 60he’s performance?

#

i want a white one but wooting dont sell one

bronze grove
#

But to answer your question better - It depends.

untold wigeon
#

can you make a fully black one too?

#

or am i retarded and you have one

thorny isle
#

a full black would be nice too

bronze grove
#

Most cables due to the length of the coil can have issues if you combine Tachyon Mode with a high LED brightness (typically above 70%)

#

Issues include random typing and other fun glitches.

thorny isle

#

okay honestly i might just wait for that

weak nest
#

Are these Legit keycaps off drop

untold wigeon
#

ye

#

drop does not stock fakes

weak nest
#

👍👍

untold wigeon
#

many refer to their DCX line as GMK clones but they aren't

weak nest
#

Should I get those they look pretty nice

untold wigeon
#

that's pretty cheap for a GMK set

#

if you like them, for sure

weak nest
#

$10 discount for sign up🤑

untold wigeon
#

make sure the 65% kit has the full right shift

#

not the split one

frosty sentinel

im using DCX on my wooting

#

and it like it

untold wigeon
#

if not get the TKL or 1800 set

frosty sentinel
#

im using drop latte

summer kettle
frosty sentinel
#

they sound nice.. but I would assume mt3 would sound deeper and such seeing how the caps are taller

untold wigeon
#

i might grab these for my tofu60he too

I was going for eathy tones as most of my set up is browns and such

gleaming crane
#

Question, is the stock wooting foam or the foam that the tofu60 redux better for a gummy mount?

frosty sentinel
#

I have been using the foam which came with my redux and it has worked flawless

#

I am running the gummy o ring mount

gleaming crane
#

Oo

pale aspen
#

30a or 50a

frosty sentinel
#

50a

#

takes a little pusshhhing, but it will fit

gleaming crane
#

I kind of figured since the included foam is thin but fills the inside of the board perfectly

frosty sentinel
#

yeah, its cut out very nicely.

thorny isle
#

do gummy o rings need to be bought separately or do they come with the redux or module?

frosty sentinel
#

The only problem you can run into is that the USB C end may not be long enough, you will just have to adjust the port on your redux

thorny isle

finite gate
#

much cheaper prices and the ABS they use is much more durable than gmk which allow them to not shine

crimson sky
#

It's drop tho

neon harbor
#

what do you mean 'it's drop tho'?

#

are they bad or smth?

untold wigeon
#

and better i doubt because legends on GMK are still better

crimson sky
#

Most recently they made a new profile with entirely broken and unusable ISO enters

#

And their excuse was "ISO is a personal choice"

#

Instead of admitting a mistake

untold wigeon
#

i dont think horrible is the right word for this

#

MT3 is very good and so is DCX

#

considering what DCX is trying to do its pretty fucking good

crimson sky
#

They are a horrible vendor tho

untold wigeon
#

i ordered from them a few times and they were fine just the wait times were a bit crazy

untold wigeon
untold wigeon
#

it does for sure

crimson sky
#

Not the first time they done that shit

untold wigeon
#

something worth to keep in mind

#

so thx for bringing it up

crimson sky
#

Countless times where they had an issue and just give you a gift card instead

slim drift
#

what are the best switches for 60he?

wet hazel
cursive epoch
#

Are Jades also better in terms of performance? or is that purely based on how they sound?

bronze grove
#

No such thing as a better performing switch.

#

It's all about feel and personal preference.

cursive epoch
#

Thank you, these kind of things are new to me so I was curious

thorny isle
#

i read that because the jades bottom out faster it changes something

tawdry tree
bronze grove
#

Sure. But that's still a question of how they feel - It doesn't make you inherently better at the game.

#

I wholly agree that a smooth switch is preferable. But it doesn't improve how I play directly.

tawdry tree
#

Doesn’t make you better at the game but I’d still call them better switches.

# untold wigeon MT3 is very good and so is DCX

I would like you try DCX, MT3 is nice, a little bit higher than other profiles, but I liked it. Anyway I will improve the sound of the keyboard first and over time I might change the Akko keycaps I have in the 60HE

#

I used these

#

Wooting has a official guide for these which helped a lot

#

They work very well

Any recommendation on which store EU people buy their keycaps from? Lookin for dsa profiles😎

guys

are their other cables you used with the wooting (i mean with Tachyon mode and 100% brightnesss) which worked fine? i dont want those from wooting

novel yoke
#

Does adding extra foam make keyboard quieter?

agile grove
#

I've heard the keyboard is pretty bright (though I cant confirm myself) and most people use it on medium-low brightness, I dont really think 100% brightness is really needed (unless you needed a flashbang on your desk)

@harsh dove did you have DKS issues with the jades ?

harsh dove
#

Can’t imagine there being issues

gaunt linden
#

Then i might order them rn c:

harsh dove
untold wigeon
#

you use o ring in the salvation?

cerulean cliff
#

Should PE foam be combined with the original plate foam or should it just be PE foam by itself?

harsh dove
untold wigeon
#

ring sounds like shit in the alumaze]

harsh dove
harsh dove
#

Anything else it’s fine

gaunt linden
#

Does it damage something if im using that? Lol

harsh dove
#

No

#

It’s just hardness level

#

So the higher the number, the harder it is

#

Therefore it’s going to be harder to insert aka tighter

gaunt linden
#

It also makes it more or less bouncy Right

harsh dove
#

Yeah a little bit

gaunt linden
#

My spacebar sounds even and better with the o-ring

harsh dove
#

Yeah I finally fixed my spacebar stab once I put it in the Salvation

Now it sounds even

by the tofu i mean the one with the brass weight

@tawdry tree do you have a link to the U's?

Taobao is a Chinese site.

thought we can order just like ali express lol

tawdry tree
#

Not yet but the Jades are a great switch as well.

sweet cedar
#

yea im getting jades

#

hopefully ks20u doesnt make me regret getting jades

teal parcel
#

can you send the link to that? I want to see descriptons and stuff @tawdry tree

tawdry tree
#

Riley just sent a link I think

teal parcel
#

or i meant the ks20u's

#

sorry

spare mauve
#

my jades will arrive earlier than my 60he+ 😢

#

do you guys think the KS20u will be better tho? just because of two rails?

tawdry tree
# tawdry tree

@teal parcel This is all we know about it, the store on Taobao that sells them have everything in mandarin.

tawdry tree
spare mauve
#

but the jades steam wobble is already a lot better than the lekkers right?

tawdry tree
#

The Jades are similar to an average non HE switch.

slim drift
#

whats better alumaze or tofu redux?

harsh dove
#

I’m buying the dual rails to test them out. I don’t believe they’ll have a better sound than Jades but I know they will have less wobble, although wobble isn’t really an issue on the Jades so we’ll see how much it’s improved. My main curiosity is the smoothness with the dual rails and any potential friction or scratchiness.

#

And these have an open bottom housing so I expect similar sounds to Raptors

spare mauve
#

what are your favorite switches for now? @harsh dove

harsh dove
#

Jades

unreal pendant
#

jades are goated

spare mauve
#

are custom caps a night day difference? or do you think wootings double shot pbt are fine? Im new to the keyboard game but i love to try those things

pale aspen
#

day and night

#

but i would prioritize colorway before anything else

harsh dove
#

Yeah I wouldn’t just try any profile if you’re new to it cause you may not like the feel of a certain profile

#

I’d probably stick to Cherry/OEM for your first set

tawdry tree
#

You don’t really get higher quality than that.

harsh dove
#

They also made new colorways for Take Control keycaps I believe

slim drift
#

whats better tofu redux or alumaze 60?

tawdry tree
harsh dove
#

I don’t like the Holy60

spare mauve
#

a few years ago I switched from standard mechanical to low profile (razer deathstalker / G915) and that was somehow okay for me. when I tried the 60he of a friend tho I new I was typing on shit hardware and I started watching videos about customs and wooting/apex. im surprised how much money you can put into a keyboard and what the sound / feel differences are

harsh dove
#

Shits literally holee

#

Like has holes in it

halcyon obsidian
#

it looks like its trying to be designer

slim drift

🤣

If going for designer it should be modern minimalist design

halcyon obsidian

lots of desginer stuff isn't close to minimalist

Choose the one you like the most

#

Those my modern minimalist designers

#

Things like Celine and Prada

crystal ibex
#

Not sure there are samples sent to media

normal schooner
#

if wooting released the 80he for that price we would have riots in this discord

#

thats not even a case !!! its a frame

harsh dove
#

Shit cost as much as a Salvation and probably don’t even give you as much, I.e. carrying case

#

Plus it’s way less material

crystal ibex
#

True

#

I believe the cost is mainly from cncing the frame

harsh dove
#

Yeah making that design probably is what cost them

crystal ibex
#

But besides cost, are they good?

harsh dove
#

That case is for someone who likes Spiderman/Venom way too much

tawdry tree
#

Features.

crystal ibex
#

In terms of RT, response time, software etc

tawdry tree
#

They claim to be better than Wooting

harsh dove
#

I don’t think another company has made as good as software as Wooting yet but I haven’t studied all of them either so idk

tawdry tree
#

But it doesn’t ship yet so nobody knows.

crystal ibex
#

Yea I thought they would send samples to test

tawdry tree

When could we get ks-20U available in America ?

harsh dove
#

Yeah like the Salvation is the case but it comes with either an Avacado Board or the WeirdTech board or whatever they call it

I believe rakka has their own keyboard right?

#

@harsh dove have you tried the jades with the spring from the lekker? I'm heavy handed and i like the heavier spring

pale aspen
#

cam, imo if you have salvation

#

no point going back to tray moutn anymore lol

#

even tho salvation still techincally tryay mount

velvet egret
#

@harsh dove Did you clean the lube off of your stock raptors and then lube them by hand or did u just apply ontop of the factory lube?

pale aspen

Does someone have @harsh dove ‘s post pinned?

Yo every time I remember jades are lighter than l45’s I get REALLY tempted to buy them. NGL

Also tempted to just wait until more come out tho

Hi bigsly

polar girder
#

Sup lil bro

#

Kind of debating if I want to get new switches for this module rebuild next month

tawdry tree
#

But Jades are a good switch either way.

harsh dove
#

I’m sad that NA Module delivery is slightly delayed

#

Mid February

velvet egret
#

I hope i get my module EU next week

#

my gf is out for weekend that would give me the entire weekend to have 1 on 1 time with it :p

polar girder
#

Yeah I guess shipment to NA warehouse going slow

polar girder
#

Any link?

#

Why can’t I find them

#

All I see is reg ks-20

tawdry tree
polar girder

Interesting. Nylon bottom, PC top and POM stem seems like a popular combo

@tawdry tree also it being dual rail what does that really entail?

Less stem wobble

Let's see if the KS-20Us gonna make me regret ordering the Jades

quiet bay

I just haven't ordered anything because I'm broke and I've already applied switch tape mod twice

#

these mythic KS-20U are so rare they are not even listed on gateron.com lmao

normal schooner
#

or whatever they will call them

teal parcel
#

i'm also waiting on the ks20u's i ordered the lkkers with my module and then read that people think the lekkers were trash lol

quiet bay
#

they wobble so much it's hilarious

tribal marsh
#

well KS-20 whites are the same thing as the lekkers aint it

lilac grove

#

i'll probably wait for the ks20u's and swap springs since i don't like fat fingering keys

any idea on KS-20U release date? thonk

today

#

it's just on taobao gotta w8 for it to be on aliexpress

@normal schooner did they say they're creating new lekkers for the 80?

normal schooner
#

mhm with less wobble

tribal marsh
normal schooner
#

but probably with same force

polar girder
#

I missed that part

normal schooner
#

they havent gone into detail

polar girder
#

Interesting

normal schooner
#

it was an spontaneous night stream

#

only pochizo here attended it

polar girder
#

Yeah that’s why I’m kind of patient to buy my 4th set of HE switches lol

#

That night 80HE Q&A?

normal schooner
#

yes

polar girder
#

Yeah I saw that but don’t care about the 80HE ☠️😅

normal schooner
#

fair fair

teal parcel
#

you think they'll sell those 80he switches seperatly?

normal schooner
#

we dont know anything about that yet

polar girder
#

But did see something about Calder and new lekkers. So that’s exciting

normal schooner
#

it would not suprise me if they do. but they have not said anything about it to release it seperately

#

moreover they have not said anything about the switch aside from working on improving it

polar girder
#

Yeah I mean that’s progress

#

Is there a 80HE eta?

normal schooner
#

q2 2024

polar girder
#

Nice

#

Thanks

#

Good stuff

lilac grove
#

i think a kaihl he switch is also announced

polar girder
halcyon obsidian
#

dumb question but can you corrode the magnets in he switches by cleaning them / soaking the switch parts in water

#

?

#

because I like lubing switches, and I don't like factor lube and would rather lube on a clean canvas than a muddy one

polar girder
#

So many new options this year

halcyon obsidian
#

and like normal switches you can just pull the metal leaf out so you're not getting it wet but idk about he switches with the magnets

halcyon obsidian
# bronze grove No.

oh wow so if I take them apart and dunk them in soapy water, and dry them off good, they should be fine?

bronze grove
#

Sure.

#

If you soak them for like a week straight, it might start to rust a bit

halcyon obsidian
#

nice it would only be briefly, thank you for the help

lilac grove
#

y its possible to destroy them with rust but you can lay them on top of a heater or something to be 100%

harsh dove
#

It’s a lot rounder than previous stems

#

Might not be able to spring swap like people are thinking

quiet bay
harsh dove
#

Like 91%

harsh dove
#

Same design

#

With improvements

polar girder
#

Yeah exactly. They won’t use same exact molds for everything otherwise it will just be same

harsh dove
#

It’s like an iPhone

#

Same design

#

New improvements

#

Still a new phone

polar girder
#

Double rail box stem??

quiet bay
#

I feel like it's more of like a transparent upgrade

polar girder
#

POM on POM on POM?!??

quiet bay
#

so they wouldn't be announcing it as a new product like apple

harsh dove
#

I feel like they will announce it as such

#

I don’t think they would keep new and improved switches under the radar

polar girder
#

No reason to invest so much just to pretend it’s the same thing

shell geode
#

Any changes to any product is considered a new product, no?

polar girder
#

Well not really

#

Like in apparel, they’ll keep the name the same, change the style number and just note Redesign

old swallow
#

i think if theres big changes they may be lekker 2.0, but if its just small changes probably nothing

polar girder
#

Right. Yeah I’m hoping for lekker 2.0

quiet bay
#

Dual Rail Lekkers?!

polar girder
#

But maybe they won’t be able to make all the changes they want and it will just be more of a refresh

#

Who knows

quiet bay
#

or maybe they implement something new into switches

old swallow
#

if they make big changes we get the heerlijk60's

polar girder
#

Like that? havo

You only use 2 screws with a salvation

The rest of those are just leaf springs with rubber pads

hey cam, do u need a standoff kit or anything special to make the wooting fit in the salvation?

harsh dove
#

Nope

pallid echo
#

sweet sounds good

static tendon
#

Hmm looks like the ashkeebs website doesn't offer a white version for some reason of the salvation60

fluid ravine
#

plates from like smky and kbdfans

static tendon
#

I'd probably skip out on the buy just cause of that tbh 😦

pallid echo
#

ahhh ok ok

#

i’ll get it if i get a new plate then

static tendon
# pallid echo ahhh ok ok

Also the reason it costs so much I think is because it's an entire kit. Perhaps you purchased just the case and it likely brought down the price quite signficantly? My thoughts on it so far

pallid echo
quiet bay
#

damn yall big spenders

static tendon
#

Did you get a PCB and plate option?

not like I can speak tho

The Black Friday sale?

Cause I got mine on Black Friday from novelkeys for $220

pallid echo
# harsh dove Price error?

idk exactly what it was for ashkeebs but some type of sale, i doubt black friday tho since it’s recent

harsh dove
#

Comes with the full kit, avocado PCB, carrying case, stickers, etc

untold wigeon
#

he needs to sell just the case

harsh dove
#

Unless you did solderable PCB then you get the weird flex PCB

only reason i bought it was bc i was looking into getting tofu redux cerakoted red and prices were similar
