[dire vale]

do you have a use for a second keyboard ?

and will it cost you more than just to buy the separate upgrades

?

i don't think having 2 wootings is the solution

[lyric linden]

Was considering selling or seeing if I could make it work as a workplace keyboard, since its not thaaat loud in the plastic case lmao

[dire vale]

for example as an accountant i want a good keyboard for work, so i have a wooting that im modding and ill make regular custom keyboard

yeah but why not go for a real custom keyboard with better sound better typing etc

that will cost you less

and have a dedicated gaming keyboard (wooting)

thats what im personnally doing

[lyric linden]

Because I'm in norway, so building a custom keyboard is mega rough, since there's not that many options and price is always gonna be like 1.5x everywhere else

[stray tiger]

The only potential upgrade are the screw-in stabs and some people just replace them with clip-in stabs so they can gummy mount it.

[dire vale]

oh i get it, well try comparing the prices what will cost you more

between a regular custom keyboard

and having a """"mid"""" workplace keyboard

[lyric linden]

Absolutely fair point lol

[dire vale]

because wooting is phenomenal for gaming, but for that price you can have a very very good custom keyboard

that is what i would do

[lyric linden]

Yeah, that's why I was leaning more toward just putting the old one back together, and selling it.

I swear I'm not trying to be difficult, but still, building customs isn't really all that accessible in Norway as far as I can see at least. I've tried looking into it, and it's also very narrowing that I need ISO layout. But my other thought, that I was having a hard time explaining is this, say I buy the module, so 1500 NOK. slap it in the main, and put everything else back in the original case. Sell that keyboard for like 1000-1300 NOK.

But I definitely wanna build a proper custom at some point anyway. It was moreso, whether or not the other upgrades they made to the 60HE+ module would be audible, or felt at all. I also wanna add, that this is my first time approaching anything custom keyboard-adjacent. So I'm also a little intimidated by the idea of doing a plate swap lol. There's a bunch of mods that I've been to scared to do the wooting so far too, like burger mount as stuff, cause I don't wanna mess it up lol

[stray tiger]

Plate swap is super easy. Dont stress at all.

[lyric linden]

Like I said in the last message, I'm not too versed in custom keyboard-stuff, even though I watch a bunch of custom keyboard content. Could you explain this more?

[lyric linden]

That's good to hear, I am leaning more towards that right now

[stray tiger]

The only real difference other than the plate is the mounting support of the stabilizers. the module supports both screw-in and plate mount where as the original only supports plate mounted.

[lyric linden]

How would I go about that? Got any ideas where I can order new stabilizers in EU, is there a database for specific stuff like that? Also, gummy mount?

That's not the same as burger mount right?

[stray tiger]

Start here - https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399

[lyric linden]

Yeah sorry, I should have probably read through everything there instead of skimming over it, before asking questions 😅

[crisp spear]

if i buy this with the raptor he

are those switches the one people are recommending

[lyric linden]

Having read through that. I think I'm gonna take your advice. But, if you don't mind helping me out some more, I really appreciate that btw! I saw that the stabilizers get compared to Durock stabilizers. I have AP TX Stabilizers, Durock plate mount stabilizers and also Mekanisk's stabilizers available to buy. Would I notice any substantial upgrade, or would I be better off getting lube tools and lubing the stock ones then.

[crisp spear]

looks like a dif colour

[lyric linden]

What I think I'm gonna do either way is get the PC plate, burger mount, see if i can actually find any of the O-rings for gummy mounting to buy here. Then, if it seems like replacing the stabs is worth it too, I'll probably do that as well. Been enjoying upgrading and modding this keyboard so far, and I think this would take it to another level. I'm already loving how it feels, but yeah.

[harsh dove]

PC Plate and Burger or Friction Mount are going to provide the biggest differences. Swapping stabs isn’t going to really change anything. Just make sure they’re lubed properly and don’t have any rattle from bent wires

[lyric linden]

Sounds good, I found this: https://cannonkeys.com/products/bakeneko-o-rings?variant=40895047860335, is the 50A the one I want then? Or should I wait and see if the 30A comes back in stock?

[lyric linden]

Also, guess I gotta get myself some lube and tools, if I'm gonna do this properly lol

[lyric linden]

Probably a noob question, but friction mounting would make burger mounting redundant?

[harsh dove]

Anything between 30a and 50 will work, i.e. 35a, 40a, 45a, etc

[harsh dove]

Yes, you can only do one or the other

[lyric linden]

But, would the 30a feel nicer?

[harsh dove]

I can't decide that for you

30a is softer, 50a is harder

Some people have even used 70a but I wouldn't really recommend it

I use 40a

[lyric linden]

Thank you! I'm gonna give it a little time to see if the 30A comes back in stock, and just order both the 30 and 50 then, see which one feels nicer to me. This keyboard keeps taking my money lol, but I can't stop now

[harsh dove]

Lol no problem

[lyric linden]

Only thing I'm worried about is whether or not the PC plate for ISO is gonna give me any problems with the case. I saw they mention something about not being able to use all the standoffs. But, I'll just have to try I guess lol

[gaunt linden]

Why not? Could it damage something ?

[untold wigeon]

can i use foam from wooting 60he for the alumaze case

[normal schooner]

you get foam with the alumaze case 🙂

[untold wigeon]

thanks 👍

[crisp jasper]

do the lekker springs need lubed

i havent seen any one mention pinging

[halcyon sparrow]

So far so good not as rough from the outside

@bronze grove any reason why you recommend to remove this stand off in the tutorial? I did a dry placement and the modular had a hole for this stand off you said to remove

[bronze grove]

I removed ALL standoffs that weren't specifically needed for the 60HE. Two on the left, two on the right and spacebar.

[bronze grove]

Because I managed to kill my first 60HE within ten minutes of unboxing it using the case stock at first.

If they line up, no need to remove it.

[halcyon sparrow]

Alright thanks I was just curious you removed it on the tutorial

I thought it could be for some reason

[signal berry]

show final product

[halcyon sparrow]

i will when its done i got a concert tonight

[signal berry]

@bronze grove suggestions on what i should mod on my keyboard i want it to sound thocky

[violet cave]

where can i buy new stabizliers for wooting since i need a replacement for repair

[devout torrent]

this is gonna turn out sick

hype to see it after

[halcyon sparrow]

you guys want a sneak peak before my show?

My work station is very dirty

But I should be done tomorrow

[devout torrent]

great keycaps for this build

[stray tiger]

Looking good. Has GMK Mictlan vibes

[devout torrent]

evangeleon caps right

gmk eva

[halcyon sparrow]

For those who want to build in a b-box: with the right tools cutting off the 11 stand off is easy, and the usb goes perfectly a resin mod might be the tech for weight, I'm considering it

I have the full set plus the utilities sets

[stray tiger]

Huh a GMK set Id never seen. Nice

[halcyon sparrow]

I'll mess around with cap configuration for a 60% the best aesthetic

[devout torrent]

it's also an instock one on drop

😄

[halcyon sparrow]

I fell in love with these years ago when they announced return I just threw my credit card at it

[stray tiger]

Looks sick with the BBOX so far. Great job

[halcyon sparrow]

This was the thought process of this build

[halcyon sparrow]

Thanks brotha I'll do a full audio test, and woot station setup

Honestly the sound is 300% better then expected I thought the case would make it sound terrible but I'm surprised

[stray tiger]

I couldnt pull that build off but it seems to fit your overall aesthetic well

[halcyon sparrow]

I always had a very plane setup, triple black and RGB and I fell in love with the b-box purple and keycap set and the wlmouse was just perfect timing

[violet cave]

where can i buy new stabizliers for wooting since i need a replacement for repair

[stray tiger]

Amazon

[violet cave]

is there any links you can give?

[stray tiger]

you in the US?

[paper bloom]

Got a question for the tofu60% redux case for mounting is it recommended to do all stand off burgermount or a specific stand off point

Burgermount

[cyan summit]

You can do all, you can do only the 4 screws on both sides, its up to you

or do 5 screws with the middle standoff, its your preference

[next oak]

I usualy screw all except the middle standoff. To me the typing feel wierd and not even with the middle bits. But maybe it's up to your preference

[paper bloom]

Got it thanks

[paper bloom]

Appreciate it

[paper bloom]

Appreciate it

[median spade]

Guys don't buy frog mini for wooting it is not worth it

That is all

Learn from me

It is an improvement from tofu60 but not enough to justify thanks for coming to my ted talk

[loud zephyr]

At least the Frog Mini doesn't look like a glorified wedge

[median spade]

im a wedge enjoyer even from all my custom boards but I get what you mean

if it was wkl i would probs enjoy it more but alas no 7u wooting exists

[untold wigeon]

people here do not like the tofu

hi ten :3

[median spade]

I don’t blame them as I usually hate tofus as well and hello

But for wooting/Hall effect stuff not much change to a frog mini meh

[violet cave]

yes i am

[sand plinth]

is it worth tape modding wooting60he+ ? havent seen much vids of how it sounds with new L45 switches

[uncut musk]

https://youtu.be/6poF-Z0ajhE?si=KWvGw-xNE_utxTkU

@sand plinth

The l45s and l60s sound the same

[median spade]

because they are the same outside spring weight

[fluid ravine]

This is personal preference but you should try it to see if you like it. Quick, cheap, and simple mod. If you don't like it, you can always remove it.

[fluid ravine]

Keep in mind this is using steel plate from the stock 60he, when it came to tape modding the steel plate, it did not change the sound profile or frequency what so ever.

[violet cave]

thank you does it matter what color

[stray tiger]

Whatever color you like

[uncut musk]

oh true, i think there is also a sound test with the tape mod on the pc plate video on the wooting channel

[fluid ravine]

Yes

Just yes 😁

[uncut musk]

https://youtu.be/XkosHUBUrdI?si=DeYqHEGGuEfLIgvI

at the end of the vid

[violet cave]

these gonna do job? I don’t really mind spending money

[stray tiger]

Yup, pretty much the same as the stock stabs

[violet cave]

k thank you

[polar girder]

Decided to go with black stabs and black pc to go with the black redux and black side print

Excited to get rid of that damn white

Probably won’t ever see the stabs but good to know that they match

[untold wigeon]

1 layer or 2 layer tape mod on alumaze

[fluid ravine]

just try both

try 1 then try 2
if you like 2 then keep
if you like 1 then remove that second layer

[snow nest]

for the 100% has anyone found metal frames? i like the keyboard but dont like the plastic feel oF IT

[loud zephyr]

there was someone here working on a custom case but other than that you're pretty much out of luck

[snow nest]

that is rough /:

[loud zephyr]

someday

[snow nest]

someday

[sullen salmon]

i tried both wasnt a big fan of burger mount. i actually much prefer gummy oring mounting it

sound is slightly more pingy however it is much more "bouncy"

[loud zephyr]

here's what the proto looks like, maybe hit him up if you like it #💬│general message

[paper bloom]

I saw a guide/video regarding the module not being able to fit into the Tofu redux case for the gummy oring

[sullen salmon]

mine fits just fine

[paper bloom]

What case do u run

[sullen salmon]

its a bit of a squeeze

tofu redux

[paper bloom]

Oh

[sullen salmon]

i cant fit it with the silicone plate foam tho

only the pe foam

since the silicone is a little stiffer so the o ring sticks out further

[paper bloom]

I will have a look into this then thanks!

[sullen salmon]

you do have to poke some parts of the o ring into the case but it works

[paper bloom]

Got it

but idk im just thinking if not i wont run a burger mount

just run it as a standalone as well works ig

[sullen salmon]

i didnt notice a huge difference going from burger mount from the standard mount

sure its a little bit better but it was a pain in the arse to get it to work with tape mod

[paper bloom]

For the burgermount right/

[sullen salmon]

yes

[paper bloom]

okay got it i will keep that in mind thanks for telling me!

[polar girder]

gummy/friction mount is legit. second that

wooting screwdriver when

[sullen salmon]

does anyone know if this wooden case would be compatible with the wooting 60? Theres a gh60 version which should be compatible correct? https://lohacustom.com/products/walnut-wood-keyboard-case?variant=41984249135148

really want to try a wooden case with the wooting

[loud zephyr]

yeah compatible(gh60)

[sullen salmon]

sweet

[devout torrent]

LOL

what does "scratch" mean on thhis apge?

ooh nvm I see

[sullen salmon]

i dont even know myself lmao care to explain

i was jus gonna get the no scratch version seems the safest

[crisp spear]

hey could i get some help selecting parts

[paper bloom]

wassup

[crisp spear]

thanks counter

[paper bloom]

i know a bit of things (VERY LITTLE)

but say it here what parts u need help with

[crisp spear]

yeah i was just looking to go down the list and confirm on whether or not i could find better parts

also nice andersen lol

[paper bloom]

Thanks

[paper bloom]

go on

[crisp spear]

so for cases i was looking at the tofu redux 60

i just bought this mousepad from another persons station

and wanted to create a keyboard to go with it dont know how it performs as a case or if i should go up in price

and its kinda the same problem with all of the other parts i picked

just not sure how well they all work for making a finished piece?

[paper bloom]

whats your parts list

Ik u will def get the Module 60HE with the Tofu case

Well i also just recently bought it but there are other cases u cld get as well

[crisp spear]

What are the other ones you recommend or tofu just bis for price?

[paper bloom]

@sullen salmon has one and made one alrdy and a few other ppl here

[paper bloom]

I mean besides the tofu u can run the uhh Aliexpress ones those are good or u cld run the Poseidon PSD60

https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f

^Compatibility stuff here for u

im still hunting for other cases as well while were talking lol

[sullen salmon]

tofu redux is probably the most common and safest option, its a quality case and will do just fine

the alumaze ive heard has a little bit worse acoustics but offers a better aesthetic if your into it

[crisp spear]

and then switches found a random yt vid after scrolling for geon raptorhe switches as an upgrade

[sullen salmon]

dont get geon raptors

they are better yes, however id recommend gateron jades magnetic switches instead or the gateron dual rail 2.0 ks20us when they release in a few months

[crisp spear]

idk how i feel about the side cutout with strap

[sullen salmon]

geon raptors have a tighter top housing but a smaller stem

[crisp spear]

on this

[sullen salmon]

all up to you man

[paper bloom]

i mean if u can wait for the shipping from KDB ig why not

[crisp spear]

yeah makes sense my random fear is that it will get in the way somehow

[paper bloom]

What mods do u plan to do tho

[crisp spear]

if i ever end up touching it its going to drive me insane

[sullen salmon]

https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f

heres a list of compatible cases if you want to take a look

generally gh60 cases are compatible

[crisp spear]

the only ones ive really seen before was tape and stabilizers someone linked me to a sound test comparison

of like 3 keyboards from the main channel?

but those sounded great

prefer it on that smoother end

[paper bloom]

@crisp spear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bvLyb2HhrU&t=733s

[sullen salmon]

youll want to do gummy o ring mount, lube, new keycaps, new case, polyfill the case, tape mod, and stab mods.

[crisp spear]

ty

[sullen salmon]

theres other minor ones that ive probably forgotten but its mostly just experimental till you find what you like

do you plan on using it for gaming or just typing?

[crisp spear]

both mainly gaming though granted doesnt need to be that high just looking to push scores in osu and continue attempting to push gm in league

[sullen salmon]

if just typing id recommend cerakeys because they offer a thockier experience however they're not great for gaming as they tend to be glossy and slippery

[crisp spear]

if i ever pick up valorant or apex

[sullen salmon]

then yeah go for a gmk or pbtfans set

[crisp spear]

itll matter more ig

ok let me write this on a notepad

[sullen salmon]

good idea

[crisp spear]

is there a video comparing the sound of the alumaze

vs redux

[sullen salmon]

probably, search it up

[paper bloom]

This has the uhh sound test

but its running the old L60's

[sullen salmon]

ive got L45s which are a little bit better however im upgrading to jades soon

which are designed a little closer to standard switches with the closed bottom housing

[crisp spear]

ill prob follow you on that

[paper bloom]

Wait the jades are better than the L45's?

[sullen salmon]

yes

[paper bloom]

wait how

[crisp spear]

ok got my notepad starting from the top also hard capping budget ike 400-500$

[sullen salmon]

L45s are jus L60s with a lighter spring

jades have better tolerances and tighter housings that reduce wobble and improve the sound

[paper bloom]

oh yea right the change

🗿

WELP rip me

i took an L

[sullen salmon]

i mean i definitely prefer the L45s over the L60's, i cant remember if they improved anything but nothing crazy if they did

[paper bloom]

But its w'e

w/e*

[paper bloom]

i mean personel preference ig

[sullen salmon]

its a tiny bit smoother and more satisfying to type on imo but jades are argueably the best HE switch atm although there is bound to be more releases this year

getting closer and closer with HE switches to the custom feel and sound

[paper bloom]

Welp either way im gonna be stuck with the HE L45's till then thats newly bought

[sullen salmon]

they work just fine

still an improvement over the 60s imo

[paper bloom]

it isnt the improvement its the uhh

Timing

I cld've gotten the jades instead of the l45's

Regardless of the improvement and overhaul

[sullen salmon]

hahaha any refund or return possible?

[crisp spear]

is there a yt video with the dif sound types heard a bunch of descriptors

[paper bloom]

nah who cares i dont wanna wait a week or 2 more for the jades

L45's the way it is after all easier

[sullen salmon]

theres not many HE sound tests out there other than lekkers

however the jade switch sound tests all sound considerably better

[paper bloom]

There are mods to L60's spring

[sullen salmon]

still not at that custom keyboard level of sound yet tho, but definitely closer

[paper bloom]

it shld be similar to the L45

[crisp spear]

Just in general I keep hearing like thock and creamy go around

And I’ve got no idea what those mean in the slightest

[paper bloom]

Basically the feeling of smoothness and

The thockness is basiclly what u press

aka the sound

[paper bloom]

imagine if novelkeys made a HE cream keys

[sullen salmon]

generally thock is a deeper sound signature of the board, clack is a higher pitched sound signature, creamy is a smooth feeling however sometimes its also referred to as like a thocky sound too

theres also poppy which is kinda like clack but deeper and more tuned i guess?

[crisp spear]

And do they affect how it feels to press the keys either?

Or is it just sound

[paper bloom]

Both

[sullen salmon]

both however its mostly the switch design that affects the feel and the switch plate

imo softer plates like pc and pom are the best

oh thats another one

get a pc plate for ur wooting

much nicer experience

[crisp spear]

Guess I trend towards thock ish

[sullen salmon]

yeah most do

[crisp spear]

Makes sense

[paper bloom]

He cld also get a steel

PCB plate

but i doubt theyre rn for sale besides the ones from kdb

[sullen salmon]

it comes with an alu so still would be fairly similar

as opposed to a plastic plate which is bouncier and usually thockier

[paper bloom]

wait we talking about the prebuilt or the Module60HE

[sullen salmon]

gets rid of the ping noise

[paper bloom]

Cuz the module is running PC

[sullen salmon]

module comes with pc yes

i got the prebuilt and modded the hell out of it

[crisp spear]

alright so tofu redux vs alumaze

[sullen salmon]

to the point the only thing thats left is the pcb loll

[crisp spear]

is it just design mainly or sound

[sullen salmon]

mainly design

[paper bloom]

The tofu is higher than the alumaze

[sullen salmon]

tofu sounds a tiny bit better

[paper bloom]

From where im looking

[crisp spear]

ah got it so then alumaze would be more my speed

[sullen salmon]

basically choose whatever you think looks better

[paper bloom]

Usually it shldnt be a problem if u ask me

If youre a flat type of guy run the alumaze

[sullen salmon]

they're both alu cases so its mostly a design choice of what looks better

[paper bloom]

Yea

[sullen salmon]

im personally going for a wooden case soon

[sand plinth]

can u paint over a tofu case? if so what paint, paint chipped my case sadly 😭

[sullen salmon]

i also got chipped paint

[paper bloom]

im running the tofu sooner or later cuz i want the stack height to give me a bit of ergonomics

[paper bloom]

I hear spray paint helps

[sullen salmon]

i jus contacted kbdfans and they will have a solution for me by monday

[sand plinth]

oh shi lmk what they say pls

[crisp spear]

oh got it

[sullen salmon]

will do man

[sand plinth]

cos when i was fitting my pcb in i chipped the edges

[crisp spear]

then tofu would be better

[sullen salmon]

its just personal prefernce man

[paper bloom]

its mostly perference

[sullen salmon]

go with what you think looks better

[paper bloom]

Yea what reeve said

[sullen salmon]

what colour do you have?

[sand plinth]

e-coating red

[crisp spear]

i prefer having the keyboard like tilt a lil bit rather than flush

[paper bloom]

@crisp spear but if u ask me as an fellow val or cs player idm both

Then get the tofu

[crisp spear]

aight

[sullen salmon]

yea i think the ecoating might be more prone to chipping

[paper bloom]

if u want go and compare

the alumaze and the tofu side by side

they got a side pic

@crisp spear

[sand plinth]

what colour do u have?

[sullen salmon]

ecoating white

[paper bloom]

im still waiting on my Tofu case i got it in silver

btw what keycaps you guys run

[sullen salmon]

is it andozied?

[paper bloom]

Ye

[sullen salmon]

rn pbtfans bog

going for a drop dcx wob set

just to try a quality abs set

[paper bloom]

i got the worse down bad cursed keycaps

Known to man

and im waiting on the shipment

[sand plinth]

ohhh also did u order the brass weight?

[paper bloom]

LOL

[sand plinth]

if so is it worth it

[sullen salmon]

yes i did

i think so

adds weight which feels higher quality

[sand plinth]

i forgot to buy it with todu

[paper bloom]

i bought the PBT Gura gura keycaps set

Lol

[sullen salmon]

interesting

[crisp spear]

finally settles on alumaze counter thanks for dealing with my circles

[paper bloom]

so long as you made a informed and happy choice

everyone here is happy to help

[sullen salmon]

i dont think youll be unhappy with either as long as you go for a safe colour choice haha

like black or white

[paper bloom]

I will be more cursed than usual

getting vtuber keycaps

lol

[sullen salmon]

yeah right

[crisp spear]

get some scarlett ones

[paper bloom]

Dude imagine a Silver case Silver Module with keycaps thats white

dude im too cursed

[paper bloom]

i cldnt get them

i wanted to run a black and silver mix but then i realized how stupid id be considering i got the existing wooting keycaps i got rn

on my 2he

[crisp spear]

alright and then switches

https://wooting.io/product/lekker-switch-linear45 should i cop these until the jades come out

seems bit faster than what ive got now in speed silvers

[paper bloom]

@sullen salmon His back with the switches thing again

[sullen salmon]

the jades are out

i just ordered them

[paper bloom]

Id say run jades

[sullen salmon]

order them off the gateron website

[paper bloom]

unless u dont want to wait like me get the L45

[crisp spear]

oh ok ill get them now what are they called

[sullen salmon]

go on the gateron website, they should just be called magnetic jades

only one magnetic jade switch

[paper bloom]

https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-magic-jade-switch?VariantsId=10767

[sullen salmon]

the ones that havent been released yet are the orange dual rail ks20us

there you go

[crisp spear]

sweet bought them thanks for the recommendation

[paper bloom]

The only reason why i am running the L45's is becaues i needed something lighter

And i didnt think of the jade switches when i was scouting

So my brain flatout died

[crisp spear]

oh theyve got express shipping

i can live then

[paper bloom]

@sullen salmonHow long does the tofu case sends in

for international

[sullen salmon]

should only take like 1.5 months at most

mine took a little longer as i preordered it

[paper bloom]

1.5 MONTHS?

[sullen salmon]

yea 6 weeks at most

[paper bloom]

FUCK

[sullen salmon]

most likely 3 weeks

[paper bloom]

MY MODULE IS COMING IN 4 DAYS

lol

LOL*

[sullen salmon]

where do you live?

[paper bloom]

Singapore

SEA

[sullen salmon]

if im not wrong kbdfans warehouse is in china

somewhere

[glacial wind]

within asia it doesn't take that long

[sullen salmon]

yeah it should be like 2 weeks max for asia

mine was a preorder

so it took longer

[paper bloom]

Hopefully im waiting on their confirmation sooner or later

Since i just got it yesterday

🗿

[glacial wind]

it's usually like a couple weeks within asia when buying from aliexpress/other chinese factory type places

[sullen salmon]

yeah id probably guess 2 weeks

[paper bloom]

Well im happy im not taking any L's some of the places here in singapore esp that selling the tofu goes for 290 SGD

I got it for 110

LOL

[sullen salmon]

you could uh use the module without a case lollll

[paper bloom]

Def wont break it

[glacial wind]

singapore is it's own special 'everything electronic is pricier' though

[crisp spear]

ok so far ive got Case alumaze 60
module wooting 60he
jade gateron switches

whats next

[paper bloom]

nah it depends

[sullen salmon]

pc plate

make sure you also have switch opener, lube, brushes, stem holder, switch puller etc

all the tools required

[glacial wind]

i remember building computer in singapore, it's interesting the markup they put on a lot of the products

especially monitors

[sullen salmon]

my first mistake was not getting a switch opener and i had to open every switch by hand

absolute pain

this was on my custom april last year tho

[crisp spear]

would this work

[glacial wind]

yeah

[crisp spear]

ive got normal tools just from it work

[sullen salmon]

yeah thats got everything

[crisp spear]

like screwdrivers and stuff

idk about keycaps

[glacial wind]

that kit isn't bad value because it includes a switch opener

[crisp spear]

ok ill get that

[sullen salmon]

yeah my switch opener alone was like 10usd or sum

[crisp spear]

should i get the lubricant

or ignore that

[sullen salmon]

definitely lol

thats what you need the brushes for

[crisp spear]

ok got both

[sullen salmon]

you can also get a lube station but thats more for people who mod keyboards a bit

not necessary

you can use bowls and stuff instead

ive made like 4 keyboards n thats what ive done so far

[glacial wind]

if you want it easy then you get the lube from them as well, you'll pay a bit more than buying lube locally though

[sullen salmon]

make sure the lube is krytox 205g0

[paper bloom]

Where did u build it at

Or purchased

[crisp spear]

Case alumaze 60
module wooting 60he
jade gateron switches
wooting toold set + lubricabnt

ok new updated list

[hearty sierra]

how long does hand lubing last before its due for another lubing

[sullen salmon]

pc plate

get a pc plate

[crisp spear]

https://wooting.io/product/60he-pc-switch-plate

this one?

[sullen salmon]

yeah thats the one i got

[hearty sierra]

module comes with a pc plate

[paper bloom]

Yea

[sullen salmon]

ah yea

keep forgetting that

[sullen salmon]

forget the module has one

[crisp spear]

is this bugged? lol

[sullen salmon]

dont worry about the plate

it comes with one

[crisp spear]

ok ill ignore it

[glacial wind]

a few vendors, just sourced parts from price matching different places around sim lim and other areas

[hearty sierra]

its a white pc plate tho, if u want a black one u have to buy it separately

[crisp spear]

i prefer white sweet

[paper bloom]

If ur foreigner

[sullen salmon]

doesnt matter too much unless you have a shining light on your board

[paper bloom]

Nvr go there

[glacial wind]

i was born in malaysia and lived in sg for awhile too lol

[paper bloom]

They surcharge

Foreign ppl

By a few %

[glacial wind]

depends on the place. Shady places for sure do in sim lim

[paper bloom]

Yea

[sullen salmon]

this is why australia is the goat

super affordable housing too

[crisp spear]

ok so whats next the cable and let me find your mod list

[paper bloom]

Cable alrdy included

In the module 60HE

[sullen salmon]

you can get a custom coiled cable but its up to u

[glacial wind]

keycaps is something you'll probably want lol

[sullen salmon]

id recommend the wooting one jus so ur guranteed to get tachyon mode working

yea might be ideal

[glacial wind]

I don't like coiled cables personally, but some do

[crisp spear]

yeah i was saving those for last

im a fan of coiled cables but i can always get that later

[sullen salmon]

get gmk or pbtfans caps generally

[paper bloom]

Or wootings

[hearty sierra]

is this sarcastic haha

[sullen salmon]

eh

[sullen salmon]

yes

[glacial wind]

i moved to straight cables nowadays, takes up less room and looks cleaner

[sullen salmon]

i might do that too tbh

[hearty sierra]

haha okok

[paper bloom]

I only go for the coiled when close prox

If longer i go for the straights

[sullen salmon]

valid

i might go for a straight cable now that i think about it

anyawy im going for a drive, cyas later

[paper bloom]

I bought my own coiled even tho it came with a straight

[sullen salmon]

@crisp spear if u need more help just keep talking to these guys or send me dms and ill get back to you when i can

[crisp spear]

ta mate i appreciate all the help

[paper bloom]

@crisp spear anything else ?

[crisp spear]

rn im looking at keycaps

just went to the sites he recommended

kinda want some nice white ones

[hearty sierra]

wootings coiled cable set comes with a straight piece and a coiled piece so u can change if u like

[paper bloom]

I bought the coiled one

[hearty sierra]

same

[paper bloom]

Cuz the module comes with straight only

[crisp spear]

trying to match this mousepad and ill buy a coiled one

should i just buy off the site

[paper bloom]

Then id say

Whats ur alumaze

Color

[crisp spear]

i was thinking silver

[paper bloom]

And whats ur usual rgb

[crisp spear]

switches all the time depending on mood

[paper bloom]

Then run 2 tone

[crisp spear]

rn its a circle

[paper bloom]

Keycaps black outer white

[crisp spear]

of rainbow

okl

let me open paint rq

[paper bloom]

Or u can

Find a white or black

Keycapped design

In diff profiles

Id run cherry profiles tho more standard

@glacial wind for my pc i just go to aftershock lmao

[glacial wind]

aftershock isn't that bad honestly. You can obviously build cheaper yourself but not everyone wants to do that

[paper bloom]

Ye

[hearty sierra]

building your pc is where all the fun is

[paper bloom]

I went for a custom prebuilt cuz

No time

[crisp spear]

when you said this

did you mean black keycaps in the middle white outer ones

cant find them anywhere

[paper bloom]

no i meant the entire keycaps set are black

the exterior aka the Case is black

the 2 tone setting

[crisp spear]

mind sending a photo

my brain isnt registering this somehow

[paper bloom]

no im talking out of my braincells rn since i just ate my food

You can run something like this

[crisp spear]

oh got it

[paper bloom]

U can just ur imagination like what i meant

[crisp spear]

yep will do

should i get a black case then

[paper bloom]

Thats totally up to you

[paper bloom]

but seeing how the

mousepad is and u want that to match

Id say the case can be white the inner can be black

[crisp spear]

ok

[paper bloom]

Or

[crisp spear]

ta'

[paper bloom]

Run black but the inner must run white

Or the full of keys

is white

The case itself is black

To lack of a better term

@crisp spear

[crisp spear]

https://gmkkeycap.com/product/gmk-key-ink-lotus-flowers-dye-sublimation-keycaps/

oh wait these look nice

bit pricy but is this a full set

[crisp spear]

also dont know if sub is worth it

i think i used double shot in the past?

not 100

[paper bloom]

This is 120 Keys

[crisp spear]

granted weird question

[paper bloom]

Double shot and sublime are different

[crisp spear]

can i just not use the last 50 keys

lol or is it a waste

[paper bloom]

if they have a option to pick a # of keys

then sure but if not

[paper bloom]

To me is, it isnt a waste

considering how much i swap keyboards in the past and have a track record of going at it

[paper bloom]

Either way u cld try and find other keycaps that sells lesser if not just get the 120 keys and then just chuck it on one side

maybe next time one of your keys gets cucked or lost u can atleast replace it

[hearty sierra]

u can get wootings keycaps for halfprice when u buy the module btw

[paper bloom]

^^^

[crisp spear]

oh ok

ill also look at that

might end up buying those keycaps just for personal use

on this corsair and at least throw it to my sister

[paper bloom]

Since majority of the keycaps are Alrdy stemmed theyre pretty universal

lol

but idk about the fitting

[crisp spear]

https://wooting.io/product/wooting-double-shot-backlit-pbt-keycap-set-just-white

is this the wooting set yall were talking about

[paper bloom]

For my case is since i bought the uhh Gura gura Sublime i will use'em and if it breaks it breaks

and then run my pre existing wooting keycaps

on my 2He

[paper bloom]

Ye

[crisp spear]

wait thats sick af lol

[paper bloom]

I got those lol

[hearty sierra]

yea i got them

[crisp spear]

time to see if any of my favs managed to get a set

my holo en picks have always been trash

[paper bloom]

I do wanna get mori's

but id decided to stick to Gura's

[crisp spear]

-kiara
-bae / irys / mumei
-shiori after that microscope stream

[paper bloom]

Since i am unsure about the

keycap profiles for Mori

or Botan

[crisp spear]

botan keycaps

thats tempting lol

just get some for my showdown main

https://bruhtech.com/products/vtuber-hololive-jp-shirakami-fubuki-theme-pbt-keycaps\

id be tempted here

looks nice legit no idea how it feels

[paper bloom]

its normal sublime

basically smoothish

But as u try and clean it not properly

the ink of it or the material of it will start to dirt out

Thats what happened to my previous keyboard from the XDA Sublime honeybee Keycaps

[paper bloom]

But yea until i figure out if its a cherry profile then im set

[crisp spear]

https://wooting.io/product/detachable-cable whats another coiled cable

that looks like the grey

[paper bloom]

Stealth

its a mix

[crisp spear]

was looking at stealth not sure are most coileds like 50$

[paper bloom]

Cuz of the cables quality and the

tubes

[paper bloom]

Those are detachable tubes

[paper bloom]

The description has it all

[crisp spear]

ok trusting it going to get it

[paper bloom]

its a personal preference

rlly

a cable is alrdy included inside the 60hE module

60HE*

[crisp spear]

yeah i just prefer the coiled look

[paper bloom]

Yea

just saying

[crisp spear]

Case alumaze 60
module wooting 60he
jade gateron switches
wooting toold set + lubricabnt
coiled cable
keycaps

so whats next after thsi the mods list

[paper bloom]

id say put on hold for now

[crisp spear]

youll want to do gummy o ring mount, lube, new keycaps, new case, polyfill the case, tape mod, and stab mods.

got sent this

ok

ok well guess new keycaps done

and lube done

[paper bloom]

My case is i can reuse the padding the

Module 60HE came with

since i alrdy got added on brass weight

I wont need to do a tape mod since i am too lazy to relube everything and stab modding

at most mods id do is do a burger mount

since most of the keyboard lube (Apart from the stab lube) lasts quite a while

(assuming if youre blow drying your keyboard youre gonna have problems and what not since stabilizers are after all exposed)

@crisp spear Well go and think on what else you wanna do for the modding ig im just telling u my case so it is easier for you

But overall u shld be set unless you want to get your own carry case

[crisp spear]

ok sounds good

[paper bloom]

i actually forgot

Does the carry case that wooting has fit any of the Wooting 60HE 3rd party market

For hand carry

[crisp spear]

im just going to buy one off amazon

and dimension match it not a fan of the yellow

[paper bloom]

my issuses are just dimensions since the tofu 60% Redux is a front higher than the usual

[crisp spear]

Yeah makes sense

[paper bloom]

For your case

Yours actually fit

since the alumaze is the same dimension as the prebuilt

@crisp spear Welp happy 2 help u can confirm with @sullen salmon If u got anything or ask the others here ima take my leave and do some stuff peace

[frozen nimbus]

hello guys, been wondering if wooting provides extra keycaps like the "ç" instead of the ñ on the spanish layout, as a portuguese i dont use the ñ at all. If they don't where can i get a single key? Or do i need to buy a full set of keys for the keyboard?

[shell geode]

@fluid ravine Here ya go! Jades re-lubed with switch tape mod

[bronze grove]

The spanish keycap set is for spanish, not porto. 🙂

It only contains the keys they need.

[gilded merlin]

dumb question but wanted to ask anyways, as someone who's just getting into the keyboard modding sphere, anyone got some tips or recommendations on good keycaps one should look out for?

[obtuse mason]

should I do the holee mod or something like that on the 60he+ screw in stabs? has anyone tried ?

[paper bloom]

Well to start off there are keycap profiles Like cherry profiles and what not

Then there are doubleshot keycaps and Sublime keycaps

u can google those 2 for the differences

[gilded merlin]

ty, il do that

[paper bloom]

For recommendations you can run like GMMK

Uhh

keychron and so on

u just gotta find companes

kdbfans also sell keycaps

[loud zephyr]

nah, holee mod is more of a fix than an improvement; stock stabs might need relubing and that's it

[loud zephyr]

u can also check out https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1070668460905988106 and get a feel for what others are using

[gilded merlin]

i did for a bit but it dosen't hurt to ask others incase you missed something obvious, ty tho il keep looking at it

[grim lava]

would a red tofu60 with gmk henessey look nice? i feel like the keycaps would be nice contrast to the case

[loud zephyr]

https://keyboardsimulator.xyz/?cc=dd1126&cf=brushed&colorway=cw_f7f2ea.333333-f7f2ea.333333-f7f2ea.333333_ENT.2-ESC.2-GESC.2-SLSH.1-W.1_cw-7w3s7_My%2520Colorway%25201&legend=cherry&size=60&sub=

looks ok but if u like it - do it

[grim lava]

oooh thats really clean

i just got my first kinda of realistic endgame keyboard not long ago but if i have some money i can save over the years i might get something like that

tofu60 2.0 red + gmk henessey + brass plate
60HE pcb + L45 switches (L + F)

[loud zephyr]

definitely worth the money imo, even stock is fine and you can slowly add mods; or save up and do it all in one go

[grim lava]

Aight. i'll see what I can do. waiting for maybe hall effect pcbs that support more different 60% layouts and supports screw in stabilizers

I currently have a tofu60 redux in black with random WoB keycaps from amazon. im reusing my old gk61 optical pcb with lubed and filmed gat yellows. this was kinda a way to get me in the direction of making custom keyboards.

[bronze grove]

Cherry works fine.

[hearty sierra]

nah

[sweet oak]

Love me some high profile caps

[celest spindle]

Is Clip-in and plate-mounted the same thing for stabs?

[bronze grove]

no.

Screw in and clip in are.

Plate mount are different to those two. It's mounted to the switch plate, instead of the PCB.

[celest spindle]

Oooo oky oky

[gaunt linden]

Has anyone had any issue with kbd pcb plates?

[stray tiger]

A few reports of issues with FR4 plates and spacebar getting stuck or not fitting right

[sharp yew]

anyone wish gmk's packaging wasn't so horrid

[stray tiger]

I like that its eco friendly compared to their old packaging

[pine tiger]

which clip in stabilisers are best? cause my spacebar is not good

[stray tiger]

Re-lube them, and make sure the wire is straight as well

[fluid ravine]

Give

[bronze grove]

It's all fun and games until there's roaches in your keycaps

[pine tiger]

There wasn’t much difference from when I originally lubed them when I switched the plate

[stray tiger]

Free protein

[bronze grove]

[stray tiger]

Record us a video so we can listen and help you diagnose.

[quiet bay]

does it affect feeling

thats gotta be tight

[pine tiger]

This is with re-lubing everything, tofu, pc plate, case foam, and mat underneath the the keyboard

[signal berry]

what’s the mods?

did you get a brass plate with the tofu or no

[pine tiger]

yeah ive got the brass plate

[signal berry]

is it in the board

it sounds good

[pine tiger]

yessir

[pine tiger]

thanks, im cool with how the board sounds, its just the spacebar

[signal berry]

alr nice i’m gonna pick that stuff up then mod mine lol

[pine tiger]

it sounds, out of place?

[signal berry]

did you use grease for it

[pine tiger]

nah i only had switch lube, so i could get something thicker for the stabs

[signal berry]

ahh ok

i’m gonna buy the lube from the wooting site

[pine tiger]

yeah i shouldve bought the lube set, i bought the wooting tools anyway

[signal berry]

also those are original lekker switches?

[pine tiger]

yeah the l60's

[signal berry]

ok cool mine delivers tomorrow im so hyped

[pine tiger]

if you havent lubed before get something good to listen to while doing it, i wasnt ready for how long / boring it would be haha

[signal berry]

lmao i’m probably gonna do it overnight while watching netflix

[pine tiger]

apparently polyfill sounds better than foam, also i didnt have tape to tape mod, so it might be worth looking into those 2 things

[signal berry]

i feel like tape doesn’t really help the way i want mine to sound atleast when i look at people tape mod theirs

wait is the wooting lube kit enough to lube all 60 switches?

[devout torrent]

More than enough

[pine tiger]

yeah it will be enough, you dont need to slather the switches

just a thin layer

[devout torrent]

You can do it multiple times

[signal berry]

ahh ok ok

also is pc plate worth getting

[pine tiger]

yeah i have the pc plate, if you were looking for a similar sound

[signal berry]

will do

[pine tiger]

mutes the higher pings and clacks out

[signal berry]

that’s exactly what i want

to get a pc plate ill have to buy a 60he plus right?

cause i alr have a 60he💀💀

[pine tiger]

i believe there is a 60HE switch plate

thats what i got back when i bought mine, before the new module with the screw in stabs existed

[signal berry]

holy shit

at the warehouse in november

wait nvm it says 2023

[pine tiger]

pain, you can get a black pc plate now

white was the only option when i got mine

[signal berry]

what’s the difference tho isn’t it the same you can’t see it

[pine tiger]

yeah its not that big of a deal if you have the rgb on

my keyboards black on black, so i wouldve just preferred it

[signal berry]

the black is in stock so i’ll get that

makes sense

[quiet bay]

wow that is rattly

are your wires balanced?

[signal berry]

i got a question for people who know about switches

[pine tiger]

as in, weight balancing of the wire itself? or how i put them in

[signal berry]

l45 and l60 won’t make a big difference between them since if they’re both at low actuation it’ll still be damn near the same response time right?

[quiet bay]

making sure your stabilizer wire is straight

[quiet bay]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/547rtvaE9nI

(I used my hands)

[pine tiger]

very useful video, ill take a look thanks

[median spade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C847LsV74_g

[quiet bay]

copy n paste of zoom75 🗿

[median spade]

it's from meletrix

so yeah lol

[pine tiger]

just the weight of the springs, switches will behave the same

[median spade]

but this was just to show hall effect switches need some changes man

they just never sound good

in comparison to mx

[quiet bay]

yeah

[median spade]

but yeah you can buy this module and put it in the zoom75

[quiet bay]

hopefully all gaming keyboards will have he standard in the future :v

but they gotta

improve switches first...

[median spade]

I wish I knew more about teh design of hall effect to what makes them sound so bad

because only thing different is no contact leaf really but rails are still touching etc

[quiet bay]

for lekkers its the insanely loose housing and stem

[median spade]

yeah

im using l60 stem in raptor which is tight af

[normal schooner]

idk what you guys are hearing mine sound fine

[median spade]

but they still have that slight HE sound

[quiet bay]

signature chalky/chattery sound

[median spade]

^

it's like you can hear plastic rattling is how i would describe

oh man those switches in the video are dual rail

nevermind gateron jade still going to be the best lol (for now)

[pine tiger]

is it worth switching the L60s to the gateron jades? and is the factory lubing good?

[bitter valve]

Hey guys! In a nutshell, what is a switch tape mod? Is it the same as tempest?

[blissful sluice]

in a nutshell you're shimming the tolerance gap of the switch

where it mounts

[bitter valve]

So it’s taping the plate, basically. Thank you!

[blissful sluice]

yeah

[bitter valve]

Performance wise - no. Jades do sound slightly better (subjectively) and have a shorter travel time 3.5mm + closed bottom.

[shell geode]

It also reduces spring ping too, which was my goal for the Lekkers when I discovered it

[bitter valve]

There are rumors that new batches of Lekkers are a lot better lubed, so that might fixed some issues with them

[blissful sluice]

mcrip effect

[shell geode]

Nope! The tape is so thin, the Jades clack like any normal switch

[hearty sierra]

wouldnt u need different stabs if the jades bottom out faster or no

[bitter valve]

Not necessarily, you have to test first

[shell geode]

I hope so! Would love to see how they turn out

[hearty sierra]

wouldnt the stabs be 0.5mm lower when they bottom out

[bitter valve]

I couldn’t decide between Lekkers and Jades, so I got both. Will send the sound test once I get them, but chances are Lekkers will not get hand lubed lol

[bitter valve]

You might not even notice the difference. Again, this one needs testing with your particular switch and keycap

[shell geode]

Nice! If you already have the Jades, I would just use them and not bother with the Lekkers because of how loose they are

[median spade]

@quiet bay you're using tx films right? How did you even do that as I'm testing some rn and they don't work at all

[bitter valve]

Might need to cut them to size(?)

[bitter valve]

I was more curious about the sound, so we’ll see. If lekkers will be rattly that’s an instant no for me

[native crystal]

https://youtu.be/sVInBOLSqoM?si=Htexi2PxDlOKwBKR

What do you guys think of this mod

[shell geode]

F is Lekker, G is Jade, and H is Jade with Lekker stem. We all know how the Lekkers compare to the Jades, so I was testing out the Lekker stem does in the Jade housing. The difference between the housings is significant.

[native crystal]

I have a nice custom wooting right now

But I dont like that its still louder and sharper than I want it to be

So Im thinking about ditiching aluminium case

I know alu is highly regarded

and everyone loves it

but it just makes it harder to have a nice sounding keyboard

unless you spend and work a lot

[median spade]

depends on what you want of cousre

i don't like plastic cases as they make it "thocc" and or deep

clack is life

[native crystal]

so you like like high pitched sounds?

oh like clack

hmm I see

[median spade]

Yeah all my mx builds are very high pitched

[native crystal]

clack reminds me too much of my 40 dollar blue switch gaming rgb keyboard era

[bitter valve]

Yeah, seems like housing does make the most difference. Thanks!

[median spade]

like i'll show you one of my fave builds

that sounds nothing like a mx blue haha

[native crystal]

I think Im leaning towards more muted thocc sounds

[median spade]

Like this is my ideal sound

[native crystal]

uhhh

sounds good

i do understand the appeal about this sound

[eternal marten]

https://tenor.com/view/nut-toy-story-pixar-disney-woody-gif-5693299

[native crystal]

but I dont really want a specific loud or high sound rn

[median spade]

or like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QpHbLOygBg

peak sound imo is this sound test

[quiet bay]

I took them off but at one point I did yeah

[native crystal]

yeah it sounds satisfying to press buttons that have a sound like this

but Im afraid I would get tired after some time

[median spade]

better without, or binding issues?

[native crystal]

so a more muted thocc would suit me better

[median spade]

Yeah I have a foam thocc build and its like you but opposite for me. I use it for 5 mins and then am done haha

[native crystal]

sound reasonable, I would probably end up similarly if I was more into keebs but Im am not (yet, once Im rich I diving head first into the rabbit hole dw)

btw is any black usb C cable good for the wooting?

because I dont really fw the stock yellow black cable

[hearty sierra]

i wouldnt say any is good

if its shit quality or too long i dont think it works well

[native crystal]

what would then be the tech specs

[median spade]

just get a black usb 3.0 cable

ez pz

[native crystal]

will tachyon mode and everything work stable with that?

[untold wigeon]

if you want a black cable who can handla tachyon just get their cable

[native crystal]

overpriced imo

I mean its nice

its more like that I cant afford it right now

[untold wigeon]

idk how many cables can handle tachyon mode

[fluid ravine]

Oh shiet bro finna have almost the same mods as me

polyfill+Gummy mount is the way to go imo 👍

[fluid ravine]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[bitter valve]

Yeah, that one is will definitely not implement

[native crystal]

I am looking at automotive foam from a local supplier. Which one would I want for keyboard modding if I desire a muted thocc sound? Sound dampening/deadening foam or sound absorbing?

Would this automotive foam also be good as a deskmat? Under my KB?

And would you guys fill the cavaties in your keycaps with something?

[fluid ravine]

Yeah now and days since there are newer and better HE switches in the market, I wouldn't recommend this as much anymore. But I mostly recommend it for people that is broke like me and has a lot of time.

But months before all the new HE switches were released this was honestly the way to go

[bitter valve]

Yeah, that’s fair! I might do switch pads tho, curious how the sound profile will change

[halcyon obsidian]

@fluid ravine I put a few of my jades in my monsgeek to just listen to them and I'm so excited, I just need this module to come

[fluid ravine]

They're compatible?!

[halcyon obsidian]

I mean

they fit

[fluid ravine]

Ah

[halcyon obsidian]

they dont work

[fluid ravine]

Makes sense

Fit in a 5 pin pcb

[halcyon obsidian]

but I can at least hear them that way

[fluid ravine]

But doesn't work

Real

[halcyon obsidian]

I honestly like how they sound more than my alpacas

[fluid ravine]

Damn 🤯

[uncut musk]

honestly the HE switch that ive found i like the sound of the most has been the raptor Frankenstein switch at least in the few sound tests ive heard, which obviously can have a bunch of different variables depending on the mods/case

[halcyon obsidian]

this ofc doesnt show a full picture but here is a little sound

[balmy nymph]

The raptor he switch is awesome. Honestly after lubing the raptor and the Frankenstein there really isn’t a difference in sound. I just kept the stock raptor stem bc supposedly it’s a stronger magnet than the lekker

[pine tiger]

any ideas on fixing my spacebar rattle other than checking the wire is balanced?

ive seen you have TX AP stabs, are they worth it?

[summer kettle]

Anyone got a link to the new Gateron KS-20U switches? are they under a differenet name online cause I can't even find proof online that they exist

[tawdry tree]

They are not really released yet, not on Gateron’s official store but they are on Taobao.

Should be on AliExpress in the next 2-4 weeks.

[summer kettle]

you got that link for taobao?

[tawdry tree]

If your wire is bent it will rattle, if your stabs aren’t lubed or are too dry they can rattle. This is true for nearly all stabs.

[tawdry tree]

I don’t but you can’t buy from Taobao easily if you’re not from China.

[slim drift]

Is that a wooting?

[fluid ravine]

Honestly like Aligner said, if your stabs are dry and in need of lube and grease. Do those.

If your wire is bent and you can't fix it, I would buy need stabs or a new wire to replace it

[halcyon obsidian]

no

[fluid ravine]

Any stabs can sound as good with just lube and grease

[fluid ravine]

honestly yes
These stabs have thicker stems and housing which means it has more tighter tolerance which could make it easier to lube and grease the stabs

without needing to holee mod or do plumber mod

I'm genuinely curious where this sentiment of "you need a good cable for tachyon mode" comes from that so many people repeat
It's just 1000hz polling, you would need to have a pretty shit cable to not be able to handle that.

I'm using some random cheap amazon magnetic-attach cable right now, AND a usb extender, and it works just fine. What gas-station trash cables are some of these people buying?

[crimson sky]

The problem is power draw

[true patrol]

I guess for people who use rgb (and on max brightness) it might draw enough power to matter, but idk why someone would do that to themselves

[tawdry tree]

It happened a lot.

[bitter valve]

It’s gamer logic. More RGB = better FPS

[true patrol]

🤢

[tawdry tree]

That is factually true, the more RGB the better you are.

[true patrol]

Yeah I just went and checked for fun, rgb on max (70) brightness with tachyon mode works just fine, even on my mid chinesium magnetic cable

took me a bit because I had to pull a couple of the raptors to see it (mine are south facing so it was blocked entirely), thought it wasn't working at first but it was

[grizzled sierra]

would a fr4 or carbon fiber plate be better for stiffness?

[true patrol]

Cf is harder

[median spade]

carbon fiber

[north mason]

can confirm new Cerakeys v2 works with lekker60

[untold wigeon]

you realize issues can present themselves later down the line and it may be impacting your keebs performance in a way you cant instantly notice right

[true patrol]

people who actually care about performance aren’t running rainbow vomit lights

[untold wigeon]

i am

[true patrol]

and this cable is several years old. I’m not claiming to be a scientist here, just saying you have to have a cable that’s genuinely garbage to not be able to do it.

you don’t need a “good” one like everyone seems to think

not to mention I actually do check polling rate accuracy through software to make sure I'm not getting unstable polling rates when I test this

[median spade]

@harsh dove Did you end up lubing the jades too btw, or still rocking them stock? I know you did the raptors for consistency, but wondering if you ended up doing the same for the Jades

[fluid ravine]

He only lubed the bottom housing

and left everything else stock

[median spade]

Waiting on mine to arrive, and just lubed my raptors, but felt like it did nothing overall really lmao

[fluid ravine]

lol

[median spade]

HE Switches man

[fluid ravine]

so that means raptors factory lube was good

lel

[median spade]

yeah even tho it wasn't consistent i see no difference after hand lubing tbh

[fluid ravine]

You're the person that like clack buils right?

[median spade]

yeah

[fluid ravine]

W

i respect that

[median spade]

if possible I want my ears to bleed and be pierced you feel me

[fluid ravine]

yes

i do

[median spade]

[fluid ravine]

i feel both thock and clack

cus i love both

clicky tho

[median spade]

☯️

yeahhhhh clicky just kind of there in the corner

[fluid ravine]

I think clicky would make your ears bleed and stab itself

[median spade]

back in 2021 or something I did box jades in a super hollow case

almost went deaf

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

Pochizo building a GMK67 with box jades for her friend

[median spade]

it was for the memes, and worked just like i wanted

[fluid ravine]

that shit was alright tbh

i didnt hate it at all

but my ears were still bleeding

[median spade]

Yeah I feel like even clickies benefit from isolated gasket honestly

[fluid ravine]

si

[median spade]

stil wouldn't ever rock them for more than five minutes

[fluid ravine]

i cant last a second

[median spade]

feel wise too box jades/navies are great but the sound

[fluid ravine]

xd

[fluid ravine]

just clickies in general

[median spade]

they're like the best tactile imo but then the sound

[fluid ravine]

in clickies category i put the box jades up there

[fluid ravine]

FRRRR

HAHAH

just no

stay the fk away

[median spade]

they're good for memes and being that guy in the discord chat

but yeah lol

[fluid ravine]

i want a full clack build tbh
