Ah those, not for sale nor giving away

All part of my few keyboards

Transparent or not? Budget? Pbt or ABS?

Sugarplums are great

Budget pbt 💀

stray tiger

Ive got some sugarplum on a purple frog mini and it looks great

#

Also Tirade give some sleeper keycaps that look sleeper

#

For my sleeper custom pcb keeb

stray tiger
#

Whats the case

#

Resin printed LOL

#

Don't ask me, it's custom PCB HE sleeper build keyboard project

stray tiger
#

Not if you use a good quality masking or painters tape. Frog tape works great as does blue 3M masking tape

Blue 3M masking tape always comes off clean, I use it for my boat

does no box heavily affect the resale price of a gmk keycap set? trying to figure out pricing

Yes 🙂

Nice! I'm rocking a white one for my build

I bought $4 from online used market

#

(No used)

Whoa! $4 USD??

Yessss

Almost new

That's insane! What a lucky find

#

Are you swapping everything over from the stock case?

harsh dove
#

That’s the case with most products

#

Always keep the box

#

You could be scamming someone with GMK clones

#

For $300

pallid echo
# harsh dove Yes

rip i got gmk sumi aftermarket with no box, ill see what i can do tho

#

thanks for the help

shell geode
# kind yew Wdym

Since you got the new case, are you going to swap everything (module + case foam) to the new case, or you're gonna mod it some more? I find that the stock case foam is good for the PSD60 too, but still leaves some space open, especially that cavity in the PSD60

stray tiger
#

What do you mean by insufficient?

kind yew
#

Translator error💀

#

Wait a min

stray tiger
kind yew
#

Originally, I was just going to use the foam in "wooting 60he", is it a little lacking? If so, I'd better order the foam now.

#

Ok

I really like these BoW from Wuque

does the brass weight make a difference in the tofu redux? is it worth it

harsh dove

I don’t own one but majority would say yes

slim drift
pallid echo
#

makes it sound less hollow in my personal experience

slim drift
#

im planning to mod my wooting,so far im getting the tofu redux the jades and keycaps which i still havent decided and prolly doing tape mod,is there any other mods that would be better to give the wooting a better sound overall in a more creamy direction?

#

its the first keyboard im every building

#

so any tips would be cool

harsh dove
#

Creamy is hard to get with the current HE switches imo

stray tiger
slim drift
harsh dove
#

And yeah just like ThockFather said, you have a good setup planned out already. I’d stick with that and see how you feel

slim drift
#

oops

slim pecan
#

Anyone done mods for their 2HE?

cinder merlin
#

you can still do like switch changes and lubing etc

harsh dove
#

My next monitor

cinder merlin
#

just no case swaps so no mount changes etc.

untold wigeon

slim pecan
cinder merlin
#

like tempest tape mod?

slim pecan
#

(For 2HE)

untold wigeon
slim pecan
#

Just masking taping the PCB. Idk what tempest means

untold wigeon
#

if you want creamy it will get you cloaer to iy

cinder merlin
#

i mean u can try, it's cheap to do

untold wigeon
#

It

cinder merlin
#

should be fine to try it out

slim drift
cinder merlin
slim drift
cinder merlin
#

for the normal HE u need plate mounted

#

stabs won't necessarily make it more creamy, the switch, pc plate, keycaps etc. will do most of the work

cinder merlin
#

depends

#

i like my cerakeys

slim drift
#

i didnt know keycaps can affect sound lol

untold wigeon
#

the stabs are a massive part to having a good kb

cinder merlin
#

but many people here like gmk, drop etc.

untold wigeon
#

A creamy kb is nothing with rattly stabs

cinder merlin
#

i was assuming his normal stabs were working fine

untold wigeon
#

I class stabs as sound but I see what you mean

cinder merlin
#

cause I switched from the normal to TX AP i think it was a small part of it

#

most came from the plate etc

#

that's true tho, if it was mega rattly

slim drift
untold wigeon
#

yeah tx are

cinder merlin
#

not sure if those are the first gen ones

untold wigeon
#

just get the right ones

slim drift
untold wigeon
#

tx ap stabs

cinder merlin
#

Almost Perfect

#

TX AP

slim drift
#

aight but theses are clip ins

#

will that still work/

cinder merlin
#

which wooting do u have

#

the module

#

or the regular

#

for the module, clip in or screw in works

#

for the regular, u need plate mounted

slim drift
#

regular

slim drift
#

i can only find clip ins

cinder merlin
#

sry

#

wrote that wrong

#

there are plate mounted

stray tiger
#

I'd start with the stock stabs. They can be quite good. Replacing parts before you even get the board might be a bad choice.

cinder merlin
#

i agree

#

the stock stabs are quite well on their own

#

esp once u grease them up

slim drift
cinder merlin
#

the stab change wont be a big issue

#

like if u want to upgrade it in the future

stray tiger
cinder merlin
#

it will take 2 mins (not including greasing)

cinder merlin
#

better to do the pc plate, tape mods etc if sound is what you're going for

quiet bay
slim drift
quiet bay
#

ahh okay

#

just so you know the wooting stabs will require a good amount of tuning

#

since they have alot of rattle at first

slim drift
#

like how do i tune stabs

cinder merlin
#

ig mine didnt feel that way

quiet bay
cinder merlin
#

could vary from each unit

#

yea ig if u have rattles then just buy a TX AP

quiet bay
slim drift
#

like lubing or?

quiet bay
#

and balancing the wires

#

actually uh

slim drift
quiet bay
#

tuning stabs is like

cinder merlin
#

lmao just like use the normal ones

#

and then if u feel like they are off

#

buy tx aps

quiet bay
#

you test the stabs and check if they're good

slim drift
#

so what you are telling me ,i have to mod my keyboard and then mod the mods

quiet bay
#

check for any rattly or ticking sound

slim drift
cinder merlin
#

trying to keep it simple for u xD

quiet bay
#

im so bad at explaining 😭

stray tiger
slim drift
stray tiger
#

tuning/tweaking is universal for making things sound better but it usually starts with lubing and thats often all you need to do

cinder merlin
#

nah modding can get as complicated as u want

#

or as simple as u want

#

lubing goes a long way

slim drift
cinder merlin
#

and the sound of the keyboard is all subjective

#

so at some point when u think it's good enough, u can chill

#

some of us just do mods for fun

bitter valve
#

Any idea what this set is? Just long shot for gmk lovers here lol

stray tiger
#

Based on the box size it would be R2

any GMK lovers know a similar set to the demon sword oath kit ?

ooo ok

#

I personally would've just gone for the module if you were getting different switches

#

unless you bought the wooting before module released

I might do that I still have the 10 percent off

For the module

#

But gotta see budget 1st

🙏

sweet cedar
#

idk if i should use the molykote for my stabs or go out and buy dielectric what do u guys think

untold wigeon
#

at the point youre at the module will be cheaper than the 60he now lol

#

cancel the 60he and get the module if you already ordered it

#

makes no sense to buy a stock 60he at that point youre paying more for something inferior

stray tiger

Wooting's Notion on Notion

At least one report from Discord (Lucy D#9374) that the case has spacing issues with the components on the underside of the PCBA.

Measure twice and ensure absolutely no parts stick up more than what the PCB requires in all locations (Particularly the unused standoffs, even if removed - the raised areas need to be sanded/grinded down flat to mat...

as it is already stated in the page

#

yeah

#

i was just asking if all i had to do was remove the extra standoffs and sand a lil

I’m gonna try the BGKYPRO gasket case

#

Worth a try

tall rain

sounds good

#

i wanted to do a pc case as above and polychroma keycaps but it might be a bit of work

fluid ravine
#

i dont think you need to sand it

#

but who knows

#

you might need to if you see problems

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tall rain
#

hopefully i can figure it out

#

the only thing is that im gonna get the case before i get the 60he module so idrk which ones exactly i need to remove or sand if needed

Look at another GH60 case

#

And compare

I'm Mia from Gateron.very happy to receive your email, it is expected to be released after the Chinese New Year in China time, I will send an email to notify you if the Gateron KS-20U switches are on the shelves.

But you have to sand the raised areas too

So might want a sanding wheel or something on a dremel

Oh it’s PC awesome

I think you could probably sand it by hand. Would be easier to just get a compatible case though 😉

the lekker stem in the raptor housing makes it so horrible idk why people hypin dat one

harsh dove
#

lol I don’t like it either personally

quick gulch
#

the raptor is actually a great switch, putting the lekker switch in there makes it the most mushy thing I've ever heard

harsh dove
#

I don’t like the friction-feel it has

quick gulch
#

yea

#

feels like an overlubed switch

#

jade stem in the raptor housing is actually giga cheeks too

#

but I expected that

cinder merlin
#

I kinda like it, helps with my keys not clinking together (ceramic) with less wobble

#

has the friction but kinda got used to it

#

looking to try jades tho, but I think might be better to just wait for all the new switches to come out or else there's always gonna be a new OP switch that people hype up about

quick gulch
#

It’s what ever honestly

#

You gotta pull the trigger on something at some point

#

Is just jades of you like that long pole sound, raptors if not honestly

cinder merlin
#

true

#

just hard to say how well it sounds on different builds

quick gulch
#

yea that's the issue really

pallid echo
#

i got used to the friction feeling on my frankenswitches as well

polar girder
#

Yeah it makes for a cool sound but it’s not the best typing experience

#

I wouldn’t recommend it lol

quick gulch
#

probably build dependant but it sounds like a horribly overlubed switch to me

polar girder
#

I might try raptor stem and l45 spring tho

#

I might just not mess with it and wait until a better switch comes out tho lol

pallid echo
#

i cant wait to see the new switch options tho

polar girder
#

I don’t mind it so much for gaming. I really loved the Frankenstein switch at first. After a sound test and gaming on it for a bit

#

But then when I started typing with it I was not a fan

#

But yeah, the future is afoot

#

I might try the raptor with just the l45 spring tho

sweet cedar

really some good stability improvement but some stems are a bit oversized

yea it's like near zero wobble

but otherwise it’s pretty good

yea i handlubed them

#

thats because the gap is tight

#

raptors already have so much lube

i literally cant find another spare lekker stem to finish all the stem swap

crystal ibex
#

some lekker stems are too big

#

would literally stuck in the top housing

polar girder
quick gulch
#

?

polar girder
#

So much lube?

#

Just cuz they get more than a stem swipe on each side?

quick gulch
#

they're caked up

polar girder
#

lol the heck

quick gulch
#

I would only go and put abouty half on that

polar girder
#

Not mine. Idk

crystal ibex
#

my raptors are really thin lubed

#

but i lubed the stems of lekker

quick gulch
#

mine are drowning

crystal ibex
#

so it brings some lube to raptors

#

bad qc i guess

polar girder
#

Yeah I just got light rail swipes and the bottom housing opening touched

#

All clear. Not much but there

polar girder
#

I was happy with stock lube job on raptors

#

I still lubed them. But I found it satisfactory for stock.

crystal ibex
#

yea they are good in stock

#

the stem swap brings poppy sound lol

quick gulch
crystal ibex
#

rip

#

but they get even out after using for a while

quick gulch
#

yea, might brush over them at some point if I can be fucked

btw how many extra switches come with 60he

#

2 right?

pallid echo
#

i believe so

crystal ibex
#

rip i have 3 stems cant fit in the raptor housing

leaving 1 stock raptor switch on my keyboard

yeah could just do it on a key u don’t use much

Not sure what color scheme you want, but I used to own this set and thought it looked great with white. You'll have to find them on mechmarket or something though because Mkultra (fuck that guy) disappeared - https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=108068.0 (While I did get my grand tour set from him, he never delivered my gmk nord and it took me forever to get a charge back done through my credit card)

but if they fall out how are they supposed to do anything

I think you’d use something to close the bottom of the switch with them so that doesn’t happen. Like foam or something.

But I’m not sure why someone would want this.

The switch films for Lekkers are nice though.

“The short stroke spacer for magnetic key switches is used by removing the switch from the keyboard board and putting it in the hole on the switch side.

It can be used if this hole is about 4.1 mm in the magnetic method.

If you turn this hole down, the spacer will fall, so you need to lift the keyboard inside out and install the key switch from the bottom.”

“Short stroke spacer for magnetic key switch

Scheduled to be released from mid to late January

You can reduce the keystroke by removing the switch from the PCB and putting this product inside the switch.

(The photo is a partial lineup excerpt)

Main size

1mm/1.5mm/2mm/2.5mm/3mm/(3.5mm)

For fine adjustment

0.13mm/0.2mm/0.25mm/0.3mm/0.35mm/0.4mm

Using POM with excellent sliding and abrasion resistance, 20 pieces per pack.

Only compatible switches with a diameter of 4 mm.

In the verification with HID-Labs, we were able to use a combination of 3mm + 0.13mm spacers with Wooting 60HE and reduce the stroke by 3.13mm.

(You can only press about 0.87mm)

If a usable keyboard appears, we will also sell 3.5mm spacers.”

#

I get it, it’s that same thing for controllers.

#

This is actually quite useful but rapid trigger kind of makes it useless again.

gleaming crane
#

Interesting

crimson sky
tawdry tree
# crimson sky I mean reduced travel can be useful for some people

You know controller bumper stoppers/limiters? That’s exactly what this is but for keyboards. It can be useful to more rapidly press a button but Rapid Trigger already does this (kind of). I could see it being useful in some games, Osu for example. It’d be very annoying to type with though.

#

So I guess it’s more for the UwU than keyboards.

i need neo lavenders tho, sound test was amazingggg

technically you could use any switch for most sound profiles but it’ll sound better if the switch sounds like the sound profile you’re going for already

I hope you enjoy it. Please remember this video is only covering lubing and installing, some stabs like cherry clip-ins, you'll need to clip the bottom leg...

For those who have tried the Salvation or other leaf spring mounts with the 60HE, does this lead to any flexing of the PCB? Asking to find out if there's any detriment to using this setup with the HE switches.

Hello guys, do any of you use Gateron Magnetic Jade switches? I really need your opinion on them and can you please tell me if Rapid switch function works with them, also what about setting the actuation point to 0.1mm on them, will it work the same as Lekkers? Getting my first custom keyboard, really need your help

devout torrent
#

Wait did the plate always come in two colors??

I think originally was just the one color right?

Ima have to get one to match better

Sometimes they feel like they don’t always register yet

white solar
#

Hmmm

Interesting

#

Are you thinking of switching back to the Lekkers then? And did you change the stabilisers because of the travel distance on the Jades being different?

But nah I probably won’t swap back

#

One last thing, any recommendations on a coiled cable? Heard some people were saying that the Tachyon mode doesn't work with some of them

old swallow
#

wooting shill

#

nah, but those are good, the thing about tachyon mode is that not all cables work with the RGB set to 100%, but 70% should be fine. wooting cables are just guaranteed to do 100% RGB

harsh dove
#

Yeah, you basically just don't want a cheap cable and preferably not longer than 6 ft

white solar
#

The main problem with them is that I got a black Redux and GMK BoW, so i need a white one

#

And I think they don't have one

old swallow
#

im also gonna get the white one when it comes out

gleaming crane
harsh dove
#

I'm not recommending a Lindy x LEMO but that's what I use and it supports 100% RGB with Tachy mode

#

even tho I don't use RGB

harsh dove

I've tested it and it works

old swallow
harsh dove
#

Cause its expensive

old swallow
#

ooh, fair enough

Fair enough

harsh dove
#

But get something of similar quality

#

or get Wootings Cables

old swallow
#

ooh yeah lol, like €80 atleast

harsh dove
#

Yeah

old swallow
#

i dont actually use tachyon mode, and i used a €15 from alixpress earlier and that also didnt have any issues, but probably woulndt work with full tachyon.

and then me over here with my lekkers and the switch tape mod (that is extremely time consuming) 🗿

ive never lubed switches, and honestly, i dont plan on doing that

Also because I’m under the assumption that 205g0 is of better quality than the factory lube I want to see the results

they have the midnight blue wrist rest then forgot about that colour

they used to have a white wrist rest

but they stopped making it because it was too inconsistent

it was concrete, not white that one right?

I think it was concrete

idk not like I purchased it or ever saw it on the store

White is a pretty hard color to produce tho 😔

true, and gets dirty pretty quick, so i dont think its a great colour for wrist rest

planning on running my 60he+ module with jades, i've heard i should get long pole tx ap stabs, do i need screw ins, plate mount, or clip ins?

#

a little confused with the mixed feedback lol

quick gulch
#

so you can use any stab you want, people are just suggesting using long pole stabs because there might be issues with key stability otherwise for some sets

gloomy stratus
#

but all 3 types are compatible with the module?

#

also 1.6 or 1.2t

quick gulch
#

1.6

#

some people don't like clip ins but I think they're easier to work with up to you I guess.

#

would reccomend pcb mount over play mount, it's just going to be easier that way

glacial wind

you could say tx is one of the big reasons why clip ins have become popular again
