i’m thinking gmk sumi keycaps with the white novelties on the red salvation as of rn 😄

[harsh dove]

Bros copying me

I have GMK Sumi

[fluid ravine]

can i see bounce :)

[pallid echo]

woah woah woah

[quiet bay]

I wanna get white so bad 😩

but I already have a klippe t

[quiet bay]

so I wont be buying one for a while

[pallid echo]

gmk sumi just seemed too good with a wob + red

[static tendon]

Dang, that's a great offer

[harsh dove]

My GMK Dualshots

[quiet bay]

I like gmk blot (it's all red)

[static tendon]

@harsh dove from experience do you see these cases go on sale quite frequently? Or is uncommon to see?

[pallid echo]

just searched it up and that’s a very nice red actually

[harsh dove]

They usually do sales around holidays

[pallid echo]

u know maybe later i’ll get evil dolch with the salvation

[static tendon]

I swear I checked around black friday and didn't see it on sale. Maybe I missed it or something

[pallid echo]

but for now i gotta chill

[harsh dove]

Depends on website

Not all sites have it on sale

[static tendon]

It was likely novelkeys

[pallid echo]

i heard on salvuns website it sold out fast

[harsh dove]

Like the official wilba tech site didn’t have a sale

But novelekys did

[pallid echo]

oh oops

must have beeen novelkeys then

[quiet bay]

Heed yor wallet's cries

[static tendon]

Hmm. well that's good to know. If anyone sees it goes back on sale feel free to ping me. Otherwise I'll be on the look out for it

[harsh dove]

I’m waiting for that Fjell sale lol

[untold wigeon]

how does that sound

[pallid echo]

yeah exactly, i need to actually stop

[static tendon]

@harsh dove have you compared it to other 60% cases? Did it improve typing feel quite a bit when dropping it into the Salvation case?

[harsh dove]

I think I have a vid of it with Lekkers

[quiet bay]

You need to heed to your wallet's cries and get a financial advisor

[harsh dove]

I like it a lot personally but some people feel it’s gimmicky

[untold wigeon]

theres no point with lekkers, i care about the Jades

[harsh dove]

It gives a decent bounce

[harsh dove]

I can throw the jades into my alumaze and make a vid for you

[spare mauve]

id like to see that one too

[untold wigeon]

the salvation is good, but i think it's not the case for the job in this scenario

[harsh dove]

You want gummy mount or burger mount? And you want case foam or no case foam? @untold wigeon

[untold wigeon]

case foam for sure and probably gummy mount to give it the best shot

[harsh dove]

Ight

[static tendon]

Gotcha, bounce is huge for me. I'm still using my ducky mecha but I always felt finger fatigue with typing on this keyboard, once applying the o ring mod, it made a huge difference for me. If I were to guess, the leaf spring design should help even more with typing feel and soften things up on the salvation case

[fluid ravine]

polyfilllllllllllllllllllllllllll

[harsh dove]

Ima polyfill you

[untold wigeon]

im curious if the metallic reasonance fully goes away with the friction mount

[fluid ravine]

bet :D

[agile grove]

ayo

[fluid ravine]

[pallid echo]

lmao

[static tendon]

Geez, so even with the sale price of the salvation case. The total becomes near 500$. This price would increase even more if you had an authentic GMK key cap set, nearing close to 550$

[quiet bay]

bro is going ham with nitro

😂

[harsh dove]

With jades and a salvation, you’ll feel nothing

It’s like typing on a cloud to me

[static tendon]

That's quite the hefty price with the wooting LOL but I would consider this end game

[fluid ravine]

[untold wigeon]

well its around 500 with the tofu too but also with keycaps

[agile grove]

@harsh dove can you do jades, polyfill, and gummy mount?

[fluid ravine]

enjoy it while it last

[agile grove]

oh and alu case

[harsh dove]

Sure lemme find a pillow to rip open

[untold wigeon]

the salvation is superior to the tofu i feel like

[harsh dove]

I don’t have polyfill so I’ll extract some from something

[static tendon]

Not for me, the price signficantly drops but yeah it's still high at around 350$ish

[quiet bay]

My Klippe T may be damaged alot internally by me....but....it used to be in Tirade's/The Thockfather's possession!!!

[untold wigeon]

i wish he'd offer just the case without pcb or anything else ngl

[fluid ravine]

from me!

[quiet bay]

🤨

[harsh dove]

Ayo?

[fluid ravine]

i got some in the package

[agile grove]

imo it looks a good chunk better but doesn’t come in a color so want so I went with tofu

[pallid echo]

what is going on hereeeee

[fluid ravine]

package got 2 holes
so choose wisely

[agile grove]

someone needs to fill their wooting with packing peanuts

[static tendon]

@harsh dove your build sparks my curiousity. What keycaps do you have on the wooting?

[quiet bay]

Packing peanuts sounds edible

[harsh dove]

[agile grove]

they have edible ones actually

[quiet bay]

wait what

[untold wigeon]

i dislike the thick borders of the salvation but i do like its color choices. personally i'd go with this

[harsh dove]

The slag coating

[quiet bay]

i lov the thick borders

[harsh dove]

Yeah I like them too

[fluid ravine]

same

[untold wigeon]

i want white keycaps so that would have to do it

[agile grove]

the think borders make it look more premium to me imo

[untold wigeon]

but its way too expensive to use for a gaming keyboard

[pallid echo]

yea thick borders are clean imo

[agile grove]

it’s not like the tofu with somewhat thin uneven borders

[harsh dove]

I am currently using GMK Dualshot R2

[pallid echo]

yea without a big sale it’s not worth

[static tendon]

Agreed

[untold wigeon]

to me its worth it with no sale but not for this use case

it just feels wrong buying this for a gaming keyboard

[harsh dove]

Yeah if you’re just a gamer, don’t buy a salvation lol

[untold wigeon]

I'm not really a gamer these days but this is a gaming keyboard in the end

[harsh dove]

Unless you really just want too

[untold wigeon]

I might pick one up when i sell my old 60he after the module ships

[burnt gust]

How many nitro boosts does the person have on the server?

[harsh dove]

I just feel like if you’re only gaming you don’t need a $300 case

Just keep the stock case lol

[quiet bay]

@fluid ravine

[harsh dove]

In reality nobody needs a $300 case

[quiet bay]

probably like 1-2 boosts

[untold wigeon]

i also dont need push pull 30 noctua fans a 4090 and a 4k oled, yet here we are

[shell geode]

Got my PC plate delivered, now waiting on the Jades and then gonna swap into my concrete case for a minute before putting it into my Box60

[harsh dove]

I mean same

[quiet bay]

That's why it's my dream case
I'll never get it 😘

[burnt gust]

How much in nitro boosts though?

[untold wigeon]

i mean i like how it looks, thats all that really matter as the sound and feel will be good

you have just 2 screws in it right?

[fluid ravine]

idfk lol

[untold wigeon]

not all 4

[quiet bay]

lmao

[harsh dove]

Yeah

You don’t use 4 with the wooting PCB in the salvation

[untold wigeon]

it doesnt fuck with the switches or anything right?

[harsh dove]

Some pcbs do need 4 tho in the salvation

[harsh dove]

No

[static tendon]

🤤

[pallid echo]

woah woah that red

[burnt gust]

Is that your knife for opening boxes, and stuff?

[untold wigeon]

honestly way too bland i like the avalanche slag and that new black one he did

[pallid echo]

that red is insane wth

[static tendon]

It's not mine but it's a pretty good example of what I'd want to build. Different caps but white case

[burnt gust]

Oh

[turbid karma]

Anyone else building in the Mason60?

[quiet bay]

nah I don't like big foreheads in cases

[turbid karma]

I should have snatched a Salvation during NK's Black Friday sale.

I love me some fat bodies

[static tendon]

Same here, bummed I wasn't aware of the sale til way after

[harsh dove]

The Rough & Fabulous one?

[agile grove]

let’s all be honest here, if you’re just a gamer don’t mod your wooting lmao

[harsh dove]

Yeah honestly

Just buy the stock wooting

Keep it stock

And game

[turbid karma]

They were out of the red and copper slag, and I didn't want another white case.

[agile grove]

I’m just a gamer but got deep into modding my wooting (to the point of getting the module) since it’ll last me a while and I want it to look good.

[normal schooner]

[turbid karma]

I'm a keyboard enthusiast more than a gamer. I like to think I'm a gamer, but I'm really just a 40+ dude who used to be good at CoD.

[harsh dove]

I think a lot can relate to that

[fluid ravine]

me still being a youngster :D

[quiet bay]

That's me 👍

[agile grove]

same, it’s surprising how old people in this hobby are

[harsh dove]

Rude

[fluid ravine]

hey >:(

[agile grove]

I would think youngsters would care about keyboards more

[turbid karma]

It's not a cheap hobby. I feel like being older makes it more accessible.

[fluid ravine]

i dont

[fluid ravine]

agree

[static tendon]

What age did you expect?

[agile grove]

true

[static tendon]

It gets expensive fast

[agile grove]

mid 20s

[pallid echo]

yeah im a gamer and then started reading the mods ppl did in this channel too much

[fluid ravine]

im 15 lmao

[pallid echo]

i think i just wanted to learn how to lube my switches or something...

[agile grove]

you just like me fr

[fluid ravine]

20 is reasonable

[agile grove]

bruh I just wanted to see what silly stuff people were doing and what mods were cheap and easy

[shell geode]

This board is $200 already, definitely not everyone has the funds to spend on a keyboard

[pallid echo]

exactlyyyyy and then people started posting about new switches and stuff LOL

[static tendon]

Agreed, gets expensive quick espeically with high end cases

[quiet bay]

and then the module came after a year I bought the stock wooting 😔

[pallid echo]

dont even get me started about keycaps, GMK is nice but holy

[agile grove]

the switches are the only place where i’m truly holding myself back, since I know better and better will come out

[quiet bay]

I would rather just get ceramic keycaps lel

[agile grove]

I wanna wait till I have a good selection

[shell geode]

Same, I barely owned my Woot for 6 months now

[pallid echo]

dont give me ideas

[agile grove]

I got a good set of PBT in a color I liked for 60 bucks

[pallid echo]

where from?

[quiet bay]

[agile grove]

truly

[fluid ravine]

got mine since feb 2023

[untold wigeon]

Drop DCX > PBTfans

[fluid ravine]

almost a year!

[untold wigeon]

i got mine in sep 23 and now i spent close to $1k in cases mods switches and shit

[pallid echo]

i got mine aug 23

[quiet bay]

I ordered mine in January and i think I got it in mid march or something

[fluid ravine]

I think i spent like 50-100 worht of mods

[quiet bay]

or april

i forgot

[pallid echo]

i think my gateway into this hobby was mice and mousepads

i thought that was bad but no this is another beast

[untold wigeon]

mine actually started when i got tired of my rattling spacebar on my corsair k95

that was 2019 i think

[fluid ravine]

the board, case, stabs was a gift

[quiet bay]

My gateway was that i wanted to get away from my membrane keyboard

[shell geode]

My board is like $400, not adding the Jades coming. My non-hobbyist friends would think I'm crazy to spend on a keyboard

[quiet bay]

man u lucky someone gave u a whole ass keyboard 😭

[fluid ravine]

lol

[pallid echo]

real

[untold wigeon]

my first ever build was a drop alt with holy pandas made out of 2 switches

[fluid ravine]

aint a "someone"

lell

[pallid echo]

right my parents look at me crazy everytime i open up a box with new stuff

[quiet bay]

ur friend

[fluid ravine]

lol

[harsh dove]

Most feel like GMK is overpriced. I just call them broke
But they’re are cheaper high quality keycap options.
To me though , GMK has the best colorways so I buy them

[quiet bay]

yeah I got my wooting mid march

[fluid ravine]

hes one of those people who buy stuff and dont do shit with it

he still using full stock wooting

[quiet bay]

he should give me the wooting 80he 😏

[untold wigeon]

thats the doc strat, why you copying me

[fluid ravine]

even the fkin strap is still on it

and he owns 2 of them 💀

so he bought 3 in total

[quiet bay]

waghtTHHT

WAHT

WHAT

[fluid ravine]

lol

[pallid echo]

the colors are very nice but i cant bring myself to buy after the two sets i already got

[shell geode]

@fluid ravine The stock Wooting is fine because it works, we're on the other side now if we want to care on how it feels and sounds

[pallid echo]

GMK WOB i feel is a nice version that is not expensive tho

[quiet bay]

shhh I like my plebeian pbt dye sub caps alright 😔

[agile grove]

GMK 100% is overpriced, however the quality is really nice. I’d say they’re barely worth the price and definitely aren’t worth the price for everyone.

[fluid ravine]

his setup btw

[harsh dove]

Yeah at the end of the day, the stock wooting is perfect for gaming

[quiet bay]

that's so messy 💀

[fluid ravine]

yeah ik

[pallid echo]

some gmk sets are crazy expensive

[fluid ravine]

but im just saying

[quiet bay]

but bro is rich

[harsh dove]

But once you get into the hobby, you nitpick every little detail

[quiet bay]

and bro has to learn some cable management too.... 🗿

[fluid ravine]

hes lazy

[harsh dove]

I spent $240-250 on my last two sets

[fluid ravine]

idk

[agile grove]

I just can’t wait for my wooting to sound better without mods

[harsh dove]

And that’s each

Not in total

[shell geode]

That's where his money is going, on other things than unnecessarily modding this stupid keyboard lol

[harsh dove]

$500 in total

Just for two keycap sets

[untold wigeon]

basic butch setup but thats fine

[pallid echo]

i looked at those cerakeys and they got a very nice red set why did you show me this

[quiet bay]

[fluid ravine]

bro was gonna buy 2 another 2 pcs LMAO

[harsh dove]

Yeah lol

[quiet bay]

wasn't me

[fluid ravine]

like a year ago he said

"i wanna upgrade"

from a fkin 3090 and some shit

hahaahahaa

[harsh dove]

Who’s setup?

[static tendon]

Geez! What did you order to hit mid march?

[quiet bay]

just the keyboard and tools actually

[fluid ravine]

my friend that bought me my wooting

[pallid echo]

what games does he play LOL

[quiet bay]

I got air freight

[fluid ravine]

fps games

[pallid echo]

oh no

probably valorant huh

[fluid ravine]

val, cs, apex, etc etc

[quiet bay]

you can see that wooting has gotten faster with their batches

[harsh dove]

Bro needs to tidy up that setup

[fluid ravine]

real

[quiet bay]

how about he invest in some cable management 🗿

[static tendon]

I ordered the module and the Alumaze60, it's expected to come around January 20th or so

[shell geode]

Regardless of money, modding the keyboard is optional so I get it if its not his thing

[pallid echo]

i swear fps players have the best specs and just play low uality on 1080p

[harsh dove]

Can tell he’s real gamer degen tho

[quiet bay]

WAIT A MINUTE HE HAS A SHURE MIC TOO

[fluid ravine]

still sucks 💀

[harsh dove]

lol yeah

[pallid echo]

LOL

shure mic is crazy

[fluid ravine]

bros Asc-immo yet he plays like a fkin idk silver gold type shit

should see him play

its funny

[shell geode]

He's got the money

[harsh dove]

Bro lets his team carry him

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

real

holdup

[quiet bay]

where can I meet a rich friend like this guys

[fluid ravine]

lemme show yall one of his episode act triangle thing

[harsh dove]

That Xidax Prebuilt bothers me tho

[fluid ravine]

hehe

[quiet bay]

someone who can just decide to think to upgrade their 3090

on an impulse

[pallid echo]

wrong person oops

[quiet bay]

I would play Valorant more if it weren't for my terrible connectivity

[shell geode]

I suck at games too, but damn does my mind think getting a Wooting makes me better lol

[harsh dove]

Me when the 5090 comes out

[pallid echo]

post an ad on craigslist

[untold wigeon]

i went from 3090ti to 4090 in under a year, so hello

[quiet bay]

"Tryna find a sugardaddy" 🗿

[harsh dove]

I was gonna say lol

[pallid echo]

real

[fluid ravine]

bro played and was hardstuck bronze,silver

[pallid echo]

the problem with my trash gameplay is always because of peripherals

[fluid ravine]

then all of the sudden

[quiet bay]

It makes me feel cool

[harsh dove]

Me over here went from 12700k and 3090 to 7800x3d and 4090

[fluid ravine]

BOOM

[pallid echo]

nothing else

[agile grove]

I’ve wasted so much money on this keeb knowing full well that sound barely matters (i’m coming from a razer huntsman tkl)

[quiet bay]

damnn

[untold wigeon]

the pyramid of pain

[fluid ravine]

HAHA

[untold wigeon]

thats nice i also swapped my M28U to an LG c3 42 as a monitor and its great, didn't really bother with the G9s anymore

[shell geode]

I tried playing on my work Keychron, yup played the same, shit

[quiet bay]

I want my keyboard to look good, sound good, feel good, and play good 😎

[untold wigeon]

play good is a matter of your skill

[fluid ravine]

exactlyy

[harsh dove]

I’ve gone thru way too many monitors in one year

At least like 6

[fluid ravine]

6 💀

[untold wigeon]

i went through 9 in 2 years

[fluid ravine]

are you using all of them

[agile grove]

bro 6

[harsh dove]

No lol

I’m using 2 of them

[quiet bay]

donate me one tf? 💀

[harsh dove]

Rest are in closet

[fluid ravine]

real!

[frosty sentinel]

Just get the LG ultagear OLED

[static tendon]

What do you priortize in monitors? Resolution or refresh rate?

[agile grove]

yeah can I get one too?

[frosty sentinel]

It’s GOATED

[fluid ravine]

i mainly need a new desk

[pallid echo]

all these pics of valorant rank triangles are getting me motivated

[fluid ravine]

says doc

and i agree

[frosty sentinel]

I love mine

[harsh dove]

Fuck the G9s

[fluid ravine]

i got some MSI optix or whatever

idk what its called

[untold wigeon]

i had an AW3420DW, CRG9, G9, another ag9, AW3423DW, AW3821DW, M27U, M28U and LG C3

[untold wigeon]

both

[quiet bay]

I have a G24F

[static tendon]

What, why's that. I love the ultra wides but because I prefer higher refresh rates. This monitor was never really something I've considered

[untold wigeon]

4K 120hz is my absolute minimum these days

[harsh dove]

I don’t even remember my list but a lot of ASUS STRIX and LG monitors

And then I settled on the Samsung OLED G8

[quiet bay]

ah.....minimum

[harsh dove]

Which will get replaced soon

[untold wigeon]

ye

[pallid echo]

isnt 4k 120hz like the maximum LOL

or am i behind current tech

[untold wigeon]

the 4090 can do up to 4k240hz if u tweak some settings

[static tendon]

Maybe a better question would be, what monitor do you use as your main? For example, you won't find 540hz monitors with a 4k resolution unfortunately

[fluid ravine]

that is in my DREAMS

[agile grove]

4k is a little high for a minimum imo maybe like 2k

[quiet bay]

same for me 🗿

[untold wigeon]

i use an LG C3 42 inch oled TV as my main monitor

[fluid ravine]

show them your pc

that shit tall af

[harsh dove]

What you recommend as a next upgrade from OLED G8?

[static tendon]

Gotcha, what games do you typically play/run on your PC?

[untold wigeon]

te it is

[agile grove]

bro that thing is too big

[pallid echo]

damn waht the hell

[untold wigeon]

Nothing

[harsh dove]

Too big for me

[frosty sentinel]

THAT THE SIZE OF MY TACOMA

[quiet bay]

that's a whole ass 3d printer and you won't convince me otherwise

[harsh dove]

Nice thanks

[runic widget]

[static tendon]

Dang, does this case have some sort of built in AC or is it all for aesthetics?

[fluid ravine]

my monitor btw

[untold wigeon]

thats a copy machine

[harsh dove]

My friend has same case

[untold wigeon]

it keeps my 4090 at 40c under full load

[harsh dove]

Lemme pull up pic

[pallid echo]

3d printer + pc 2 in 1

[untold wigeon]

its for watercooling

and noise

[shell geode]

Does your monitor have a high refresh rate?

[untold wigeon]

4k120hz

[untold wigeon]

tehnically i lied as it can keep it much lower at around 18c ambient in the room but usually its around 40

[shell geode]

Nice, love the size of it too, no need for a second monitor

[frosty sentinel]

Y’all are out of control in here

[untold wigeon]

i had a stacked super ultrawide setup way before all of this so thats why the tv is fine

[fluid ravine]

yeah im in shock

[pallid echo]

no need but theres always a want

[fluid ravine]

even though i already know abt his setup

[frosty sentinel]

I can play Roblox at 144fps

[pallid echo]

vertical TV

[untold wigeon]

now u see why i can justify a salvation?

[fluid ravine]

nope :D

jk

[untold wigeon]

these 3 also need a 4th companion

[shell geode]

I have two 27" and I dont really need a second one, I much rather have one big one

[untold wigeon]

buy 3 more modules and have 4 wootings

[fluid ravine]

:v

[untold wigeon]

easy

[frosty sentinel]

😮

[shell geode]

I think it was Thockfather running a small 14" monitor and it was dope

[fluid ravine]

fr

that was cool to seee

[pallid echo]

i heard some people collect salvation cases so throw that in there with ur idea

switch wootings whenever u feel like using a diff color

[quiet bay]

I guess that's one way to splurge your money

https://tenor.com/view/no-money-please-broke-wallet-gif-10282203

[fluid ravine]

thats us

[untold wigeon]

[untold wigeon]

the monitors are way too small

[quiet bay]

very cluttered but with a lot of expensive things

[untold wigeon]

[harsh dove]

I wanted these at one point

[fluid ravine]

fine i'll keep it

it'd be rude not to

[harsh dove]

Wait

[untold wigeon]

wait what

[harsh dove]

These PBT

[untold wigeon]

ew

[harsh dove]

Gross

Brb

[untold wigeon]

120 on pbt

u got me fucked up

[harsh dove]

Yeah lol

Super fked

[frosty sentinel]

Y’all prefer ABS?

I’m a newb

[untold wigeon]

i spent 80 on pbt and in 2 months the wasd texture was fucked

[harsh dove]

I like abs

[untold wigeon]

half of the keycap has texture half of it does not

abs atleast shines nicely

this is absolute dogshit

considering drop dcx is abs and is price matched to pbtfans, pbt is dead to me

[frosty sentinel]

What is your favorite material for keycaps ?

[untold wigeon]

I only ever used pbtfans but ye im getting tired of these

3 sets and they all have the same issues

i'd rather deal with the abs shine than this

this is fucking abysmal

[turbid karma]

Yo, has anyone tried the new mtnu keycaps profile?

[untold wigeon]

they are pbt so no thank you

[quiet bay]

naturally allergic to pbt caps huh

[turbid karma]

I liked it better as a pbt allergy

[static tendon]

@harsh dove and @untold wigeon any reason you are against PBT caps? Like GMK Taro, they have PBT version out in stock right now. I hear they're very similar and price is reduced

[untold wigeon]

pbt spacebars sound like shit and when they wear out they feel horrible

[static tendon]

Hmm, good to know

[untold wigeon]

my other set from pbtfans in 13 months

[frosty sentinel]

@harsh dove I need to see your set up since everyone is hyping it up

[harsh dove]

Yep

Hyping what up?

[static tendon]

Is this just sweat or actual shine from constant usage?

[harsh dove]

My setup isn’t all that lol

[untold wigeon]

see how not the entire keycap is fucked?

that feels so bad

[untold wigeon]

i think it is shine

[static tendon]

Oh wow

[quiet bay]

damn

[untold wigeon]

or loss of texture

[quiet bay]

it has so much texture

[harsh dove]

My setup is still a work in progress

[quiet bay]

my keycaps are buttery smooth on the surface

[frosty sentinel]

Ahhh fair enough

[untold wigeon]

DCX WOB is 70 usd

pbtfans wob is 80

spacebar sounds better

[untold wigeon]

and there wont be such dogshit

when it shines, it shines nice and evenly

hell GMK WOB on drop is like 100

[harsh dove]

It’s changed slightly since these photos

[untold wigeon]

keep it white

red destroys ur eyes

[static tendon]

That's your setup?

[harsh dove]

You ever heard of red light therapy?

lol

[untold wigeon]

kinda

[harsh dove]

Yes

[untold wigeon]

ur using the alumaze rn?

[harsh dove]

No

Salvation

[static tendon]

Who's setup was this? Just a random example?

[harsh dove]

Close friend of mine

He just bought a bunch of old pc parts off me

For his gf

[static tendon]

Wow those are some nice setups. Especially yours @harsh dove

[untold wigeon]

the only thing i'll say is pc on desk is bad

[frosty sentinel]

Take it back

[harsh dove]

Everyone says that but I got two words for you

Cats

[untold wigeon]

no

[harsh dove]

Carpet

[untold wigeon]

i have mine on carpet too

[harsh dove]

Gross

Kys

[untold wigeon]

tho it doesnt matter

never

i will torment u

u cant escape me

@harsh dove buy me kaiju in abs

[harsh dove]

Lemme keep lookin

[normal schooner]

thats a nice setup

[untold wigeon]

it is

[harsh dove]

https://en.zfrontier.com/products/group-buy-gmk-cyl-kaiju-r2

[static tendon]

Can't manage the cables for the life of me. I have to keep enough slack and some cables aren't long enough. Gonna need to order longer cables to keep it cleaned up

[untold wigeon]

ye this is nice

[harsh dove]

Buy 12ft cables for everything

[untold wigeon]

ye i use 3 meter cables for everything now except keyboard

[harsh dove]

Yep

[static tendon]

I usually go for about 10 foot any time I need some new cable. Idk why most cables come in at like 3-4 feet. It's never even close to enough

[harsh dove]

Yeah lol

[untold wigeon]

wwait people dont spend 5k on cases bigger than their desks than have 2 meter wide desks?

[harsh dove]

Nobody ever has UPSs for their setups

[untold wigeon]

come on bruh

i thought abt buying one

but too lazy

[normal schooner]

you are lazy

[harsh dove]

I love having one

[untold wigeon]

if this burns, one more reason to buy 5090ti

[harsh dove]

If they make one

Not even a 4090ti yet

Stupid

[untold wigeon]

there is a leak for that

[harsh dove]

And new GPUs come out in 2025

[untold wigeon]

Q1

[static tendon]

If i'm understanding correclty, I used to run it for a very long time but it's so ugly in the setup I removed it and have been somewhat fine

[harsh dove]

So one more year with my 4090

Then time for a 5090

[untold wigeon]

im keeping it until gta 6 drops on pc tbh unless it dies

[harsh dove]

No point in getting a 4090ti with 5090 so close

[static tendon]

I'm still here rocking my RTX 2070 super. I thought I'd upgrade this year but held off. I'll wait for the 5000 series cards. Not really in a rush to upgrade here

[untold wigeon]

the 4090 already does 4k120 and there are no 2024 games i care abt so ye

[harsh dove]

This year? They took to long to release it then

Literally no point

[untold wigeon]

q1 2025

for 5090

[harsh dove]

Oh

Oh

I thought you meant 4090ti

[untold wigeon]

or very lateq4 2024

[harsh dove]

I already knew about 5090

[static tendon]

Since I run high refresh rates I would try aiming for like 500fps in games average. I'll be more CPU bottle necked than anything so i'd try to get the next gen intel/ryzen CPUs

[untold wigeon]

if they drop a 4090ti it could be up to 70% faster than the 4080 with RT

thats wild

[harsh dove]

You have an Uninterruptible Power Supply?

[static tendon]

Yes

[untold wigeon]

I has a Seasonic TX1600 for my psu

[harsh dove]

Comparing to 4080 is useless

[untold wigeon]

it was 700 bucks but well worth it

i know

but still crazy

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[harsh dove]

Good

[static tendon]

Power goes off, thing still runs my PC to not harm components. But I have just removed it for aesthetics purposes

[harsh dove]

Oh

Sad

[static tendon]

LOL, I did run it for a while though. Really didn't like the bulk it had. I still have it. It's in use just not for my setup at this time

[harsh dove]

Fuck aesthetics bro, nobody else sees it except you

[static tendon]

I was considering to bring it back in

[untold wigeon]

i'd buy one only because oleds are very sensitive to power going off

[harsh dove]

Yep

[static tendon]

I recently moved my setup so I just didn't include it yet. I still might. I constantly switch stuff around and test products

[untold wigeon]

@harsh dove btw i have smth to say to u

[harsh dove]

No

Go to bed

[untold wigeon]

i just woke up

[harsh dove]

Well go back to sleep

[mental salmon]

I got the 60HE for xmas

[mental salmon]

I still have my 1080 and do not have ani issues waiting for the 5080

[static tendon]

Do you mainly play story games or stick to competitive?

With story mode games you typically would be fine with most graphics cards

[thorny isle]

ok thanks

[untold wigeon]

@harsh dove https://youtu.be/OeGH-3sNJbs

this dropped for 1.2k

[harsh dove]

Bro

Lemme research this thing

1.2 is a sneeze

[untold wigeon]

theres also the LG DFR displays

4k240hz WOLED but also 1080p480hz

[harsh dove]

I want QD

Hits different

My buddy has a WOLED

Don’t like it as much

[untold wigeon]

it only does in hdr

in sdr not so much

[normal schooner]

mid

[harsh dove]

Probably

Need to look at it

And it’s not UW

[untold wigeon]

32 inch is almost as wide as a 34 inch ultrawide

but 5cm taller

the issue i have with QD-OLED is when light hits it, it turns blacks into gray

WOLED does not do that

[harsh dove]

I play in dim room

No lights

Vampire shit

So I see it as non-issue

[untold wigeon]

i see

[static tendon]

I used to have so much lighting in my room but most of it I kept at like 10% brightness to just have even lighting throughout the room

[harsh dove]

I work during the day so I don’t get home till it’s pitch black out

And I have blackout curtains in my room with my PC

[untold wigeon]

its a non issue for u then

as for me 240hz is cool but 32 inch is way too small

[static tendon]

All my monitors are 24.5 inch LOL @untold wigeon

I used to run an ultra wide but once I got into higher refresh rate screens I stayed with it. Love how snappy it feels

[untold wigeon]

for competitive games 25 and 27 are good

for immersive triple A games no

[static tendon]

Yeah they are. If i were to only play story games, I'd probably get another ultra wide with good resolution and the lower 144/240hz or so

[untold wigeon]

to me i see it as close to impossible to achieve above 240 without cutting down visuals too much

[static tendon]

Well if you play competitive titles typically you'd just play every setting low/off to maintain higher fps

[untold wigeon]

i know

[polar girder]

Yeah 24” is ideal

[static tendon]

Otherwise you'd likely never achieve a consistant 240 fps

[untold wigeon]

there are a couple of games that can do 4k240 or even 240+ for me so a 4k240hz is interesting

[static tendon]

Oh I'm sure. I have yet to experience such a display that can actually be ran at that resolution/refresh rate

my RTX 2070 super struggles with it. So hopefully if the prices are normal I'll get a 5000 series GPU along with next gen CPU's

[untold wigeon]

if u like it stock, keep it stock

[static tendon]

There's many mods that can be done but realistically I would recceomend just staying with the keyboard stock and if something bothers you, you can always change/improve the sound/feel

[untold wigeon]

stock wooting+jades > tofu wooting+lekkers

[static tendon]

A lot of people here upgrade the case and key caps and that will already make a noticable difference in sound and feel

[untold wigeon]

the switch makes the biggest difference

[quiet bay]

ofc

[static tendon]

I don't even have a wooting keyboard yet either LOL. It's still in shipment phase

[untold wigeon]

if you want a good sounding wooting for cheap just buy a pc plate and jades

call it done

you dont need to swap cases

on 2 he u cant swap plate

but u should be able to put Jades in it

[quiet bay]

I'll be waiting for Lekker v2 and see how good it is

[untold wigeon]

im done waiting

[static tendon]

Has there been any mention of a Lekkar V2 release?

[untold wigeon]

not sure

dont really care

thing that holds ur switches and screws in the pcb

[fluid ravine]

Wooting waifu 😭

[untold wigeon]

tf u want me to do

[loud socket]

Is it worth it to get a tofu60 redux case?

[gaunt linden]

How heavy are the raptors with lekkers stem ? Are they heavier than the l60’s?

[harsh dove]

Changing the stem doesn’t increase weight

You have to change the spring

Stock Raptors are 52gf

[gaunt linden]

Got it thank you

I was insure since someone said the felt heavier after

[tawdry tree]

There’s more friction if you stem swap raptors.

That’s why they feel heavier

[polar girder]

https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/s/lvuYqEX8S6

This accurate??

[harsh dove]

For some people, yes.
I do not have this issue

I’ve noticed for the people it does effect, it’s usually the spacebar if you press on one side it’ll teeter totter on the switch if you press the spacebar down hard enough

But even doing so on mine

It does not happen

And I’m pressing so hard that my board is flexing lol

No issues

Idk who presses their spacebar that hard but hey

[craggy viper]

i dont have that issue either and im on the stock everything + jades @polar girder

[meager pine]

What do you mean by “teeter totter” 😮

[shell geode]

I believe Thockfather and others have mentioned that you need to put an O-ring on the stabilizer stems to correct the imbalance

I have a question for pc plate users: Do you prefer the poron foam between the plate and PCB or the silicone pad?

[potent wedge]

Can both be installed?

[tawdry tree]

Foam, the pad doesn’t create a nice sound. Maybe with the Jade switches it does but I’d recommend the foam for open bottom switches like the Lekkers.

[tawdry tree]

Can’t.

[shell geode]

Thanks for the tip! I'm waiting for the Jades, so I'll go silicone pad 👌

[tawdry tree]

Also if you O-Ring/Gummy mount the foam is better. If you use the pad it’ll likely be too tight.

[quick gulch]

Yea you can only have 1 piece of plate foam

[thorny isle]

ive read poron is nicer so i plan on using that

[quick gulch]

It’s more of the same really

[untold wigeon]

if you gummy mount u shouldn't put anything between the pcb and plate tbh

[tawdry tree]

idiot

[untold wigeon]

its much easier that way and to be honest the foam doesn't do much

[potent wedge]

Poron foam sandwich pad better Silicone sandwich pad ?

[untold wigeon]

for lekkers yes

@tawdry tree even with the foam being as soft as it is, its much easier to stretch the o ring around

even with the tray mount the plate foam barely did anything with the pc plate

[tawdry tree]

Foam dampens the sound more than the pad.

[untold wigeon]

no

they both dampen it

its just one dampens certain frequencies

the foam makes it deeper, the pad makes it higher pitched

[thorny isle]

exactly what i want

[untold wigeon]

both dampen it

[tawdry tree]

Lekkers are dampened way more with foam than pad.

[untold wigeon]

yes

they sound better with foam than pad

but they sound the best with nothing in there

if you have the pc plate

there is no wrong answer here, it just depends on what you want

[potent wedge]

Yes, I have

[untold wigeon]

Silicone gives you a higher pitched experience
Foam is lower pitched
No foam is lower pitched and louder than foam

atleast those are my findings

[tawdry tree]

I haven’t tried w/o anything but with the pad I heard a lot more rattle than with the foam.

[untold wigeon]

and badseed seems to agree

[untold wigeon]

because it mutes a lot of shit

and the switches have nothing to hide behind

for example im willing to bet the raptors sound better with the pad than the foam

[tawdry tree]

But if there’s nothing there it just reflects all the sound back to you.

[untold wigeon]

funnily enough the stock wooting oem profile keycaps also do the best job at hiding the scrunchy noise

[tawdry tree]

Rather than dampen

[untold wigeon]

pbtfans and gmk bring it out a lot

[gleaming crane]

How does the brass weight compare to all the other options for the tofu60 redux, do any of them really change the sound all that much

[quick gulch]

I think the thin caps from the stock board probably help to stop most of the echo from the switches I guess

[gleaming crane]

I’m looking for something to deepen the sound of the switches

[quick gulch]

They do sort of

[untold wigeon]

the brass weights make a huge difference in the tofu

[quick gulch]

Brass or poly weight would be best

Idk if they make a poly weight though

[untold wigeon]

do brass weight and polyfill

and change the switches to jades or something else

stock switches are garbage

[gleaming crane]

Jades are on their way already🫡

[untold wigeon]

good

im guessing you have pc plate

i'd probably remove the plate foam, add 2-3 layers of tape on the pcb and add polyfill in the case

[gleaming crane]

Already did the tape mod and polyfill, but I’ll definitely look into the brass weight👍

[untold wigeon]

you need it for sure

it changes the entire acoustics of the case

[tawdry tree]

you are acoustic

[untold wigeon]

you are autistic

[tawdry tree]

☹️

[thorny isle]

did anyone buy the tofu redux from aliexpress?

kbd has an official store but i was just wondering if ali has shipping issues

[untold wigeon]

their free shipping is pretty fast, first time ordering jades from the official gateron store

but to be honest if you can

just buy directly from the official kbd site

i hate dealing with the aliexpress site and app

[pliant rapids]

tofu redux or alumaze? sounds dumb but i really want the strap so is there that much difference in sound?

[untold wigeon]

it doesnt sound dumb

Tofu is much better sound while subjectively the alumaze can look better or worse

[shell geode]

Thank you all for the poron foam/silicone pad discussion. I'm looking for that deeper sound so I may try the suggestion of having no foam or silicone under the pc plate 👍

[untold wigeon]

i was a strap hater in the beginning

now im a strap enjoyer

[gleaming crane]

I was thinking of purchasing from Ali cuz kbds shippings insane

[untold wigeon]

then do it

[pliant rapids]

can i make up for the sound with tape mod and foam to get it close or is tofu just that much better

[thorny isle]

what would u do if the case was $40 (australian) cheaper on ali

[untold wigeon]

i dont know how much 40 aud is or means to you, but if it means a lot

just go with ali

but you will deal with a bloated app

sex toy recommendations as notifications and a lot of spam emails

and quite expensive shipping too

i picked the free shipping

[thorny isle]

okok thanks

im thinking of going with ali because i cant get the brass weight anywhere else so i have to get that from ali anyway, and ill save 40 bucks on the case

[untold wigeon]

oh for sure then

ali 100%

shipping such cheap items from 2 places especially from china will destroy you at customs

if you're not gonna get the brass weight don't even consider the tofu

i did an experiment and took the brass weight off of my tofu65 and the difference is insane

[thorny isle]

damn yeah i definitely want the weight

appreciate the help

[untold wigeon]

np

i'd recommend watching badseeds wooting videos

he talks about all of these points

there is 1 specific to the tofu, then there is his old tutorial with the old tofu and the new tutorial with all the plates/module and both alumaze and tofu

[quick gulch]

for sure grab it from ali, it'll probably get here faster than kbd unless you pick dhl

cainao is real quick to aus

[pale aspen]

Weird, ciniao tracking never work for me

i had to go in this specfic menu to get real tracking

[quick gulch]

cainao tracking stops for me once it crosses the boarder, but the cainao tracking number works for auspost too, so the tracking updates there for me.

[pale aspen]

this menu will show real track (none for now since it ipstill in china)

oh

Taobao use Auspost right?

How many nuaghty point you have on taobao btw?

[quick gulch]

I have no clue

[pale aspen]

it call naughty value lol

i used taobao since 2021 tho

that is why i have a lot of it

[quick gulch]

Damn

I doubt I have anywhere near that

Probably like a hundred

190 ya

[quick gulch]

yea cainao hands it over to local post

I'd assume it's every local post but they ahnd it to aus post here

[meager crane]

Does rog key cap fit wooting 60he?

[quick gulch]

I think so

Looks like they have the same bottom row

[meager crane]

Ok, let me buy and try it

[quick gulch]

I'd probably check a bit more but that does look like 125 bottom row

but you should link what you're ubying honestly

[valid oriole]

does anyone know what screw is used for attaching the 60he plate with the pcb?

[bronze grove]

M2 sized screws. 4mm in length.

[valid oriole]

thanks

[craggy viper]

i dont think kbd fans sells them yet

[craggy viper]

the tofu redux is the one for wooting

[untold wigeon]

the old tofu also works on the wooting

[craggy viper]

wasnt it jank tho

[untold wigeon]

only issue was the usb not being perfectly aligned but it doesnt matter

[craggy viper]

no way gatteron made a vid

[tawdry tree]

They made that a while ago

funny af

why they choose a stock wooting

it doesn’t do the switch justacr

at all

lmao

[craggy viper]

true

[loud zephyr]

easier to gauge what to expect when everyone has the stock case, the only problem is the vid cuts out way too soon, unless there's more

[karmic pier]

https://www.keychron.com/products/gateron-double-rail-magnetic-switch not in stock yet, but 3 different options coming

[untold wigeon]

those are 100% KS37's

[pale aspen]

recolorrrrr

$35 for 110 switches lmao

economic of scale

[untold wigeon]

that is too cheap to not be 37s

[tawdry tree]

☝️🤓 KS-37Bs actually.

[untold wigeon]

consider breaking your hands off

[bronze grove]

[tawdry tree]

try to touch me you png

[untold wigeon]

nah i know you love me

that'd just turn u on

[celest parrot]

Which plate to get if I buy the tofu? Aluminum brass PC? I bought the 60He module

[bronze grove]

None

[untold wigeon]

search "accessories for wooting 60he" on their site and you can buy FR4/Carbon Fiber

if you have pc plate don't bother

[celest parrot]

I have it on my HE module but aliexpress is forcing my to choose one

[untold wigeon]

oh it is?

it should not

[thorny isle]

u might be buying the kit instead of the individual case

[celest parrot]

Yeah I don't know why it does that

[celest parrot]

Maybe

[thorny isle]

i was looking at that case on ali earlier

and it didnt do that to me

[celest parrot]

Last question what is better E-coating or anodized?

[thorny isle]

idk u cant really get the same colour in one or the other so just get whatever colour u want

[celest parrot]

Ok can you give the link to the case on ali?

[thorny isle]

i dm’d it to u

not 100% sure tbh but from what ive read the poron foam is better than silicone for that

thats what im gonna use

plus tape mod

[untold wigeon]

tape mod does not give you silence

more deep does not mean silent

it means quite the opposite

tape mod is supposed to give it some character

something like sorbothane should help with silence

[thorny isle]

yeah i didnt mean tape mod gives u silence i just meant im using it idk why i mentioned it

i want mine to be deeper tho

[untold wigeon]

that helps

thats what i try to go for most of the time

the lekkers do get deeper once you overlube(to a reasonable unreasonable degree)

sounds good

you are definitely not getting this with the lekker switches

a silent HE switch would be very welcome

[thorny isle]

is there such thing as a thocky switch

i see alot of people want their keyboard to be “thocky”

[untold wigeon]

thocky is not really accurate

i'd say lower and higher pitched are way better definitions

or use audio terms

for the wooting the jade is about as deep as it gets rn i think

[thorny isle]

what would be the next best option?
