Boba U4T is pretty good as far as tactiles go, it's still my goto until I find something I like better
makes me happy when im not gaming
Personally I think mx blacks on alu are the best clack as old as that combo is
I want to try out those new gateron melodic clickies, with the click leaf in them. The sound is so strange for a clicky
this my main board i use for work and stuff outside gaming
got a vid?
yeah one sec
oh yes
MMM
that enter key is sharp

huh
MY EARS ARE BLEEDINNGGG
hol up
BUT THAT SOUNDS INTERESTING 
that spacebar is interesting
it sounds like a uh
uhhhhhhhhh
metronome
i think
yeah these switches make unique sound as housing is PBT
PBT? woa
mmhmm
sadly they're only in china and still expensive af even over there
like $1.10 per switch

called peacock blues
id be in debt
Everglide Heavy Operating Force with Linear Feature Everglide Peacock Blue mechanical switches are crafted with heavey initial force of 50g, and the actuation force is 67g. With a long travel and stem, this switch shows its characteristic to be outstanding. Designed a linear type, it aims at pulling up the smooth typin
LMAO
yeah that's bad
i found beter one lol
epomaker trying to scam people out here lmao
thats..
Bottom link is better as $8.30 for 10
not better to me but like
but yeah idk what epomaker is doing
thats better than 20 ig 
$10 for long pole linear is horrid
better price than i paid in past for $1.10 per switch
there are plenty of proven good that don't cost that much
oh for sure
Akko
you get thes as you absolutely know youw ant them
👀
since they're pbt housing
and nothing else sounds like them
never recommend them to most people for that reason
oh I had to look at like 5 links before I saw something that said they're pbt housing, that's super interesting
holy fk
this is better showcase of them when i made a vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohi-YGiSETo
Hey everyone, been a while but back with a prototype of my friend Lysol's board that he is calling the Julie60. Let me say this board blew me away, and I absolutely love the sound and feel. I've haven't been this impressed with a keyboard since F1-8X which is my all time favorite board. The clack on this board is just unreal and right up my alle...
You'd think they'd advertise that more front and center since it's the unique thing about them
thats a whole keyboard right there
they've only been in china so yeah idk
before you could only get them on taobao even
was a pain in the ass
that spacebar 
good clacks
i like em
mfw have a frog mini but it's the wkl version so I can't make frog60he
that's okay though oil kings still sound fantastic in it
i wish they owuld make 7u module
i have my wooting in frog mini but it's wk and i love wkl
tsangan he60 module would be an instabuy for me
but I already have pc plate and the standoff kit for 60he, so at some point I wanna get a frog mini wk and do it

feels a lot more consistent in frog mini
overall it's hard to say worth, but you're used to the hobby so you know how it goes lol
because it's a goated board, although I got mine from geon direct and they ran my wallet hard for shipping
like $75 in shipping
as soon as there is a market that justifies making a lot of them at once (never)
Facts
but I'm sure someone will come along and make a HE WKL board, just probably won't perform as well
I was a little disappointed that even kbdfans one they’re making the Takka doesn’t have 7u option either
Like if anyone would do it they would, but nope
I would pay more money than I'm comfortable admitting for an HE60 with:
-WKL layout
-tadpole mount points on the pcb (negotiable since it can be done on the plate anyway)
-screw in stabs (I think module has this already)
-JST connector for USB daughterboard use
You and me both
Would be day 1 buy
That or oring gummy like unikorn as well
And cherry to make HE switches for clack (for me) 
so far I'm quite pleased with the raptors, I doubt I'll be changing from them unless something insane comes along
Yeah they’re good
I have jades on the way because I like burning money but yeah
And alu plate since Pom kind of meh in this frog wooting
Hi guys do i put this thing on or off? Thanks
between PCb and plate
Ok thank you
What if you dont put it on?
Does it make a different
@stray tiger thanksssss
Becuase i already have the caps on
@true patrol either this or the silicone pad. it goes between the white plate and the black pcb.
ooh lol discprd didnt load messages
WATTT
Is pcb number 3?
The foam youre asking about is #4 on the list
Goes between 3 and 5. Its mean to help provide stability between the plate and the PCB but you can remove it as well and try it out.
i make it easy for you. you have the white plate then a silicone pad OR a pc foam. last the pcb those 3 items you screw together
if ypu dont know how the foam goes watch our youtube tutorials 😎 or post a pic for conformation
Oke
@fluid ravine and @quiet bay are master keyboard builders now
and @stray tiger is the grandmaster

lol I was about to ask what in the world you were talking about
Any particular reason you like the WKL layout?
Visual symmetry for mine and better with a split backspace imo. That's pretty much it
I may be wrong here but isn't this mic a side addressed microphone? Meaning you should have it facing off to the side to have it properly facing the correct direction? Like so
Got it, is this also a wooting PCB inside this case and caps?
not possible, the pcb would need to accomodate a 7u spacebar, and a case with WKL blockers
Can't it be done without the 7u spacebar and just not include the switch there?
Or does it require a 7u spacebar
yeah u need 7u spacebar to spread the keys out evenly
Gotcha
Not really. It depends on the type of microphone and for a lot of dynamic mics, you will often speak off center to reduce plosives (the wind that you hear when you make a P sound)
Right, but this looks like a condenser microphone which most the time they're side addressed. If I were to guess it's the AT2020
Oh you're referring to that specific mic. Yeah not sure. I own 3 condenser mics and they are all directional (shotgun or pencil condensers).
Like these
You’re right and the person who recorded the video doesn’t understand microphones
Got it. Yeah it’s understandable for shotgun mics to speak towards the end of the mic
You are correct! But I really only uploaded this for Thockson because he asked me to. I am doubtful that I'm influencing anyone on getting the Jades from my video
You're right, it's an AT2020! Yup, I don't know my mics 🤷
I mean, it’s a condenser, I wouldn’t sweat it too much. Most of them have very bad directional rejection (good thing in this case) so it’s likely to get most of the sound anyway
Source: used many condenser mics and own an AT2020 that used to be my daily driver
I agree. I played it back, sounded great, uploaded for Thockson 👍
@shell geode what do you have in your build again
Tofu White
Bow Keycaps
Jades with Switch Tape mod and what else?
Like your nails btw
It isn’t a personal attack, I’m just answering the question. Enjoy the board man
@stray tiger You got some solid gear here, do you by any chance stream?
None taken! I'm always learning 🙂
Working on it. Hope to be live in the next few weeks (just waiting on the last camera and then getting OBS finalized). Check out thethockfather.com for links to follow.
Right on! I'm assuming you'll be focusing on keyboard builds during these streams?
The idea is educational for keyboard stuff (I'll launch a poll soon to see what people would like to learn/see about). Of course I'll also be doing some unboxings and comparisons. For example I've got 5 HE switches still sealed I plan to compare side by side. Including a tactile HE switch if it's compatible (should be here this week)
I will be doing some builds as well. Have 3 pre-orders coming in already
For sure, I'd be interested in seeing a comparison video
stream csgo? 
Hence the focus on good microphones
I might even do some streaming of CSGO sure. It's just to have some fun and help people build confidence doing mods.
Csgo and Keyboard asmr
hehehe
That would be really nice
clack claxk clack
I'm not a good enough typist for asmr lol.
Clack clack clack backspace backspace clack clack
But the best part is that I plan to do some giveaways too. I've got tons of stuff I'd like to see go to good homes.
Thank you! I got a good hand model 😆
Poseidon PSD60
BOW Keycaps
Jade re-lubed and switch tape mod
Brass weight
Sorbothane foam
😮
no like while playing csgo have your mic pointed at your keyboard
i know a val yt that does this
i will show an example
Ahh ok sure let me see haha
Hurt its feelings

No, not usually. Try swapping the switch to see if that makes a difference
You can also try a reset in wootility in case you have a bad wootility profile or setting
Another HE keyboard..
boog75, supposed to be the hall effect version of the zoom75
Would love to know what sketches they are going to use
Gateron Ks-37b
I'm guessing the change the color scheme for it?
I think there are 4 different colorways I've found so far, so looks like it.
What are some good pink and baby blue keycap sets for the wooting?
https://cannonkeys.com/products/nicepbt-r-r well uh there's this
drop wob or gmk wob?
Domikey
gmk over drop for sure
Domikey if you’re more budget oriented, they’re not bad by any means but they aren’t gmk for sure
damn haha i just recieved the drop wobs
heard they were apparently better than the gmk
oh yeah I forgot about those
thoughts?
They’re fine, I’m not a fan of the kitting but for the wooting that’s irrelevant
kitting?
Had some legend alignment issues at one point but I can only assume that’s been fixed
Kitting = the keys and key sizes included to fit different boards
yea the set seems pretty good in hand however the texture of the caps arent my favourite
little bit slippery compared to my pbtfans set
would the gmk set be more "matte and grippy" at all?
A little, depends which PBT set you had
Some PBT is super textured and some is super smooth
pbtfans bog
gmk is good texture imo, but of course there is the eventual abs shine that some love and some hate
from the finger oils?
I believe it’s just from small friction over time, not necessarily oils
so it eventually leaves a mark/shine spot on common keys?
But I could be wrong on that
Go look at quality control comparisons between the two. They're far more consistent, especially with printing. They simply don't have the sheer selection that DMK has.
Yes. Abs wear out more quickly than pbt
I mean, they don’t “wear out”, the keys of both will outlive us all if they aren’t physically damaged
They will just get shiny
But most of the bigger manufacturers are of enough quality that it'll take years
so pbt would last longe r
Technically it's layers wearing down
why are people such fans of gmk if they wear out quicker?
They sound good and are generally kitted super well (depends on set though)
Because A, huge selection+ custom group buys
And they are the original tooling that cherry used to use to make keycaps back in the day, so it’s kind of a history thing (although they have since added new legends which obv is new tooling)
That's very debatable
so pbtfans with a colourway you like is more ideal if its a quality set of pbt caps?
Their packaging is subpar
pbtfans packaging?
GMK
ah
VERY true, their new trays are trash compared to the old ones…but I get aftermarket trays or just store them in bags tbh
New trays were supposed to be more eco friendly styrofoam type shit, but they’re pretty much destined for the trash straightaway
I agree but, when you're paying a premium you expect a premium and their slack in this regard along with some of the sloppy printing and warping has allowed for competitors to catch up
so when comparing gmk and pbtfans on a wob set what would you guys recommend?
It’s preference
That and their production issues that have had some GB kits take 2+ years only to be canceled
I know “it’s preference” is a shit answer but when comparing PBT to ABS that will always be the answer
what are the determining factors of the prefernce?
The printing and warping made me not pick them personally.
Color, font, profile
A few others but those are the biggest ones generally
For all the negatives I'm highlighting I'll add this as a balance
i think pbt is probably my preference then tbh as long as i get a solid set
If you're picking something like BoW or a readily available option you're likely going to be pleased
Lots of sound tests comparing the two but be wary of edited sound tests or people with very bassy mics, there are a ton out there
It's apparently the more custom GBs that have issues
I love my triple shot Semiconductor caps.
Zero printing or fit issues.
oo show?
The caps lock is a the Wooting one.
It's Wooting guts with the L60s, gummy mounted in a KBD Blade 60 case
Cable is a custom from MechaCables
ah a wooting too
ive got a tofu redux with l45's atm with a black coiled cabl e
but im getting jades and a wooden gh60 case
also gummy mounted
definitely better than burger mounted
Agreed
id argue it sounds a little worse at least in my board however it feels a lot bouncier and maybe even more responsive
The Tofu is nice but I wanted something different and I like the shape of the Blade
valid, i like the tofu but i want to try a wooden board
i think that combined with jades will create a beautiful sound
i also have some foam switch films which sound super nice
I want the Raptors eventually and Frankenstein them but I'm waiting for a US vendor
kbdfans?
or is that like chinese
i thought they had a warehouse in like us or sum
ive heard that frankensteining them is almost too tight for the housing
Maybe. I haven't been keeping up. I was only aware of the geon site itself
ah right
kbdfans has them but i think they're out of stock atm
couldve restocked idk
I'm not a slave to sound so feel is more important to me personally. I don't really have any issues with the L60s. I have heavy fingers anyway
I get it So you'll never be happy 😉
basically yup :)
Yea they need some wear in
I love my set up as is.
wear in and probably a decent amount of lubing
I'd rather make another build than teeek this a ton more
isnt it the stems too tho
when frankensteining
youd probably want to relube them anyway if ur getting new switches
may as well go the full way
eh
you can actually make them worse with handlubing
gat x for example are difficult in that regard
they get less smooth with 205g0
silicone pad for clack sounds and poron pad for thock sounds? True or not?
Divinkeys has them
Raptors
No foam for clack
weird wootings website claims the opposite
still eats up higher frequencies
so ideally you want no foam
which I would not recommend with the default steel plate
Did anyone order the new ks20u switches?
Been trying to find a proper sound test for them but it’s still only that one sound file from kdbfans that I could find
are there any aftermarket feet for the alumaze? I'd like a more agressive slope than either of the 2 provided sets deliver
11 degree typing angle enjoyer
soon to be RSI enjoyer
You have to 3D print ones.
I don't think we used premade feet but made our own molds for the silicone.

not with correct posture
what mods should i do to my 60he ive been thinking about tape modding, keycaps, and case swap
The more thicker foam/silicone you have, the clackier sound you will have. If you have Thinner and not as much you tend to get more thock. In my board I have the tofu redux with just the base thin poron foam with a pe foam mod and thock goes crazy lol
Is modding the wooting worth it?
im ordering a different escape key lol
i just know the quality of these keycaps are so good
the esc key will be changed
yes if you have the money
i would recommend the L45 switches, they are so much nicer imo
including the keyboard it cost me around £450?
i used tofu redux too
i was gonna go with the one wooting brought out, but i dont like the gold accent personally
What keycaps ?
So am I
ducky?
i think the extra money and going to drop.com for better keycaps is worth it
i think mine were 80 pounds or so
Then imma use the analog switch pressure lighting and make that red to match my black and red theme
I have drop dcx wobs with tofu redux maroon
yh those my fave blank set
they feel so much nicer
and sound
I got two sets of them for $90
an offer?
crazy
It was from there 12 days of Christmas
I was gonna pre order the new red one but the maroon looks cleaner ngl
i like the meteorite grey but i hard the texture is like sand paper
I don’t regret getting maroon at all
It’s so nice
Crazy upgrade
tight, loose, hairy, smooth?
Im exited to try out those switches
My old keyboard sounds and feels nicer, but the Wooting performance and software is unrivalled and makes up for it
Ill order the L45 fs
Same
I might try lubing them up real good
You getting the module ?
No need
i foam and tape modded
Trust me
Might as well lube the case and the keycaps too
lube the case XD?
I need may fingers to slip off the board
The switches or stabs don’t need lubing tbh
theyre alr factory lubed and decent
Ok bet
yeah i love lube
and assuming u use a razer u prolly havent lubed before
Is it easy to switch the switches out
with the right puller yh
It would he my first time modding a keyboard
Do you already have a Wooting ?
wait so there’s no need to lube the 45s is what you’re saying?
No not yet
yeah it’s delivering
It gets here soon
Which one you getting ?
60he
imo, no theyre smooth asf alr and sound good, the l45s
RIP
Yeah taking forever
But compared to my old board big upgrade
If you’re case swapping and replacing switches you shoulda got the 60He+ module
why didnt u just order the module
yh
Save money and sounds better
Considered it to late
now u have extra keycaps, board and switches
i jst realized it a few days ago 😦
Didnt get the idea until recently
i do too, but i bought my wooting on first batch
same
Ordered dec 2
yeah we’re some acoustic mfs
Ong
but if i can save the 35 bucks for not buying the lube shit and the 3 hours of my life i’ll gladly take it
Fr
finna be eating some good chick fila 😤
if you lubed them to the best of ur ability it might be worth it, but theyre factory lubed and u wouldnt wanna over ube and compromise on performance and have inconsitent lubing on a gaming keyboard imo
because theyre already decent, u might end up over lubing and thats not worth risking imo
uhh i’ve never lubed before
if u really dislike them, u can always do it in the future
so i don’t wanna risk it on my endgame keyboard
true
i really only want to do it for the sound
theyre nicer than my lubed switches
They sound decent for he switches
im not sure if u should get aluminium case for that
I just like heavier boards
i bought the extra weight moid
i watched a video on the wooting channel i liked the way it sounded and it had aluminum plate
keyboard heavy asf
My old one was the durgod hk hades
the bras s plate
it’s kinda hard for me to describe it but i think i’ll buy the wooting alumaze
Same, it’s heavy, but not super heavy
i fw the gold piece
The tofu is so clean and simple and has great colours
wooting low profile
but the strap is goofy
yh i dont like the gold
I want my shit to feel like mjolnir
what 😭😭
but i do want to stand out lmao
Weight wise
the wooting case has character
If you want a heavy keyboard, you can have my old one 
my wooting should be at the crib by the time i get home from sch
That shit is a literal brick
Plus shipping on wooting is a lil yk
acoustic
😭😭
yea
Imma probably get the module then with the case and the switches then resell my wooting for 500 on ebay
i wont need to buy another one again and it looks nice
is it 2 cables or one
😂
I just got my module and switches together, cos the switches come half price (£17 instead of £35)
honestly w idea
just one with attachments
coiled
where does bro find all these deals
i paid full or everything i got
lo
lmao
besides the keycaps without shipping were 6 dollars off but like 20 dollars shipping anyway
yeah i bought my wooting like over a year ago
pre order beofre they were made
there wasnt a module
Free shipping on my keycaps 
are you US?
but i’ll just mod mine and throw the pcb under my desk
or dutch?
Nah uk
On keycaps cos of the Christmas deal from drop
buy one get one free and free shipping
ahahaha
wtf
idk what i was doing in ddecember
prolly valorant wasnt looking at keycaps
my keycaps came today
To each their own. 🙂
Fr
i think make some plain ones with a hint of wooting
this is a lot
i want a wooting esc key
So the mudule and switches are 160 before shipping then fhe case is like 50 sum
So maybe like 250 to make it not bad
Imma order on Friday
If you’re planning on case swapping and swapping switches the module comes out a decent amount cheaper
get foam and masking tape
cheap but good mods
The module comes with proper foam
oh the module
Nothing wrong with the module foam
yeah it comes with quite a bit of stuff
Comes with case and plate foam
really getting what you pay for imo, some people say it to expensive but i think the pricing is right
oh shit estimated delivery the 30-31
GAWD DAAAM
Na-Clouds right
speed
Module might’ve been the way to go
Might’ve? Definitely!
So im so excited for comp
the 360hz benq zowie is so good
Ew Zowie
The money you spend on an overpriced tn zowie, you could just get a 360hz oled ?
im upgrading from this to asus dual new one, soon
I would just wait for the 480 hz
the 480hz and 240hz 4k
Yeah the dual mode one is amazing
yeah
i alr have the zowie
ill use this for like a year and when asus one goes on sale one day ill buy it
i got expedited shipping as well, surprised mine doesnt also say the 30-31
same module n switches?
480 is over kill unless you need every advantage
idrc tho like a 2 day difference 💀
but also does 4k at 240hz and is oled
4k at 240z bro gonna need a 4090
True but 4K 240hz is gonna be hard to run
Probs need more than that 
4090 ti super MAX
engineer a new gpu
lol
I’m waiting for the next gen of cpu and gpu
i prolly wont upgrade my cpu for a while, the 7 78003xd is the fastest for games, gpu ill get the next best one
Gotta wait to find the gta6 requirements
The mouse itself running at 1000Hz will be good enough, of course you will be happy to use the dongle, but based on different reports from users there is not much difference, I am enjoying it, and it was a good improvement over the Viper Ultimate, I am also using a Vaxee PA mousepad.

ps5
gta6 console version not until 2025
and pc not even coming at launch
reqs probably not even worth worrying about right now
40 series will run gta 6, jst depends how u wanna run it
rocking 3080 on liquid rn, still very happy
It'll be the same as it was with GTA V - on release it'll only run on RTX 5090, after 2-3 years you will be able to play it on a toaster
and when asked why it's not optimized they'll play dumb like bethesda did
i get 1k 8)
only abt 750 in game tho
cpu?
still vaguely considering what mouse I want to get after this superlight
but honestly I'm still super happy with it and I definitely haven't reached my ceiling with it
Yuckers
finalmouse wonderful
i have the tenz one
but its too small for me
but its so good
Same and it’s still in the box
so i use superlight
are finalmeme still doing that stupid "drop" stuff?
Last legend actually
Yeah
or do they actually stock product now
gross
I have half a mind to get optimum's kit for the viper v2 and make the 22g mouse 
but I don't want to have to install synapse for any reason because razer's software is invasive dogshit
Ok performance, lies about weight, and bad qc. Finalmeme in a nutshell
i like the clicks and the shape
also comes with 8k hz soon
the sensor is rly good too
side buttons crispy
the superlight side buttons r dogshit i hate them
Will be near unusable
Battery life will be awful
out my keyboard into my mouse
part of the reason I use the magnetic cables, I just have a tip in my mouse and a tip in almost all of my keyboards for ez switch
wlmouse sweep
every couple weeks when I go to bed I swap the cable to the mouse, and swap it back in the morning
Better Finalmeme alternative fr
lamzu sweep
Sora v2 is gonna sweep icl
REAL REAL REAL
im on my pc all day so mouse battery i charge a lot
you use 4k+ polling?
nah, still on 1st superlight
Whats the difference between the 60he and 60he+
Stabs and pc plate
Stabs?
yes, on the + they (stabilizers) are screw-ins instead of being plate mounted
Stabilisers
Bet im excited for friday then😂
Do you guys know the eta for wooting when it says ready to pack
Wait and find out
the free bird60 looks gas
Im excited for my Jades to come in 
Good mice fr, i enjoy my Pulsar V3 tho
Yes. We use 6.25u spacebars 🙂
Thanks ! I can order this set then
That’s what I like about it
Btw Anyone has experienced the magnetic jade switches
Multiple people have
Im trying to have a thockier sound but i can't find any video where someone has done one
I was wondering if anyone did it or not ?
I always find them being a bit high pitched or plasticky, i don't know if you get what i mean
pretty sure he has more sound tests but thats the only one I got
ye chattery
Gummy mount = friction mount
Putting an o-ring around the PCB that kind of slits in between the plate and the PCB and holds the PCB/plate inside the case

Isnt it already the case with the 60he+ module ?
The following item is being added to https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399 shortly:
3rd Party Switch Compatibility
While Wooting HE keyboards may be compatible with some third party HE switches, it is recommended that you use official Lekker switches from Wooting to ensure optimal performance. If you still wish to use third party switches, please understand that Wooting cannot ensure compatibility and not all HE switches are created equal.
Please see the following list for known issues with currently available 3rd party switches:
Geonworks Raptor HE Switches - It has been reported and confirmed that the magnets in the Raptor HE switches are significantly stronger than the magnets in the Lekkers. While minor gauss variance is normal between magnets, the Wooting PCB recalibrates during power-on to ensure that those differences are calculated and accounted for. However, the acceptable variance is "roughly" ~10% and some Raptor switches have been confirmed to exceed this variance. This results in the actuation happening too early and losing the end of the range. For example, the keyboard may not be able to tell the difference in the last 0.5mm of the travel and it would treat it all as fully pressed, even though it's not. If you wish to use the Raptor switches, it is recommended to change the Raptor stem and use the Lekker stem. While this solves the magnetic strength issue, it may present new issues (it has been reported that the Lekker stems can be very tight in the Raptor housing, causing rubbing, scratching, or even preventing the stem from moving).
Gateron Magnetic Jade Switches (KS-20T) – Jades are a long pole switch, which means that their total travel distance is 3.5mm compared to the Lekkers travel distance of 4.0mm. Wooting is working on a firmware update to properly calculate the shortened travel distance change and it is advised that you use the latest beta firmware located here - https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/v4-6-12-beta-789d1bc7d70a4fc1877087d538f3a167 - Please note that this is beta firmware and not a confirmed stable release so there may be unexpected issues. Also, using a long pole switch such as the Jades, may result in your spacebar not seating properly on the stabilizer stems causing the far end of your space bar to pop off when you are pushing down fully on the opposite end. If you are not pressing the spacebar on the extreme ends with higher-than-average force, then you will likely not experience any issues. If you are having an issue, there are 2 ways to tackle the problem:
-
Replace your stabilizer with a long pole stabilizer to match your long pole switch. While this will solve the above issue, it may impact your ability to use standard (non-long pole) switches in the future without having to change your stabilizers again.
-
You can place a small o-ring on the stabilizer stems (see picture below). This will restrict how far down the spacebar can be pressed down on the ends, preventing the opposite end from popping off.
**Gateron KS-37B Switches and Variants **- These switches DO NOT fit in the Wooting PCB’s and related variants of the KS-37B are currently NOT compatible with Wooting keyboards. This is due to the polarity of the embedded magnet and the way that the PCB measures the magnetic strength. Wooting has stated that they are looking into a firmware update to potentially allow compatibility with these types of switches, but they have not released a date.
Gateron KS-20 & KS-20U Dual Rail (aka KS-20 2.0) Switches – The KS-20 switches have been confirmed to work correctly without any modifications needed. The KS-20U Dual Rail switches are also likely to be ok.
Raesha Box Magnetic Switches – These switches have not been tested for proper fit or compatibility.
Kailh Box Magnetic Switches (Sakura Pink or Ice Cream) - These switches have not been tested for proper fit or compatibility.
Akko Box Magnetic Switches (Cream Yellow) - These switches have not been tested for proper fit or compatibility.
Heijn Hall Magnetic Switches - These switches have not been tested for proper fit or compatibility.
Outemu OTM Magnetic Switches - These switches have not been tested for proper fit or compatibility.

What?
3rd Party Switch Compatibility information has been added to the #🪛│modding_faq message. Please refer people to that link if they have questions about switch compatibility, issues with magnets, long pole switches, etc.
Common thockfather w
@stray tiger have you noticed the sound of the shift key specifically compared to all the other wider ones had a different sound on ANSI formation?
Depending on your mounting style, it may be more pronounced than on other mounting options. For example, the shifts are located next to screw-in mount points, which will typically deaden the sound a bit compared to keys in other areas.
Ok that might be it
I didn't have O rings for burger mount so I just used the stickers for the case mounting bottom side only
Yeah try some o-rings and longer screws and use light mounting pressure
Fantastic work keeping the FAQ updated
I'll give it a try thanks fatha
hm do you guys know what are these switches called https://kprepublic.com/products/gateron-magnetic-white-switch-linear-for-magnetic-mechanical-keyboard-102gs-905gs-pre-lubed-only-for-lekker-switch-wooting?variant=43936707870883
Those are Gateron KS-20U switches
Do you guys know if the lekker springs fit the jades? I already know the 37g going to be wayyyyyyyyy too light when they get here
@harsh dove or at @shell geode might know
Hi there! the Lekker springs do fit in the Jade housings! You can also swap the springs! I do feel 37g is too light for my spacebar, so I swapped the Lekker spring into my Jades and it's much better!
Thanks 
Going to do my L60 springs for my jades
🙌
Is there a list of HE compatible switches that updates?
Similar to the one for cases
Does anyone know the size of the plate? I'm trying to 3d print one before I send my project to someone who can cut it for me. I found the files at https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-design but not sure what's the size of the plate for 60he. Are switch holes 14x14mm?
So it may be a stupid question but im BRAND NEW to custom keyboards. I've begun sourcing some of the parts along with a 60HE Module, and I'm eyeballing one of the Tofu60 Redux Acrylic cases. but wanted to ask, do I need to add on one of the "FR4/Carbon Fiber Wooting Compatible Plates"?
are they worth the extra money or does the module included PC plate work nicely?
no
the included pc plate is perfect
fantastic! and regarding the switches, will I sacrifice any "functionality or precision" if I were to go with the white Gateron KS-20? I'm trying to go for a white/clear color theme and the green/orange/yellow switches can be seen through the clear keycaps >.>
I know its not what Wooting chose to use and there's probably a reason for that. I just want to make sure I'm not "shooting myself in the foot" so to speak? lmao thank you for all the help!

KS-20/Omni Point switches, not the 20Us like thock said. The KS-20Us should be available in the next 1-3 weeks. 👍
These looks nice
The KS-20 switches perform as the Lekker switches. The only switches that could perform worse/different are the Raptor HE and Jade switches.
perfect! I look forward to building my first custom! and I'll post a picture when I'm finished 🙂
Spring weights differ per switch color like the Lekkers so be sure to check that. 👍
Best of luck!
Need a Black bottom housing HE
I'll probably update the FAQ to include the switch colors or something later. Forgot that Gateron doesnt refer to them as the KS-20/KS-20U name usually. Just like Magnetic orange or Magnetic White....
Spray paint 🤪
Clear top housing
Spray paint adds thock???

Would be nice yeah.
More dense = more thock lelz
What type of tape did you guys use for tape modding and how many layers?
I used 1 layer of masking tape and another layer of moleskin tape
if you are referring to tempest mod most people use painters/masking tape, if you are talking about the switch tape mod the recommended tape is medical tape
ok and ill apply it below the module?
Tape modding is in our opinion is the easiest and most rewarding mod you can do. Overall the tape mod makes your keyboard more poppy, but sometimes the results are neglectable. That's why we will be testing the masking tape mod in this video.

https://mekibo.com/products/tx-ap-stabilizers-plate-mount?variant=46980686217504 Just wanted to make sure if these stabs will work on the 60he not module
Any help is appreciated
I think clip ins work for the 60he v1
not clip ins
fucking plate mounted
sorry my brain is fried
I don’t think so, there was someone in here who said the holes in Wooting’s switch plate are too small.
Oh damn it's clip ins?
No, the one you linked are plate mounted stabs.
They are for burger mount, you used them on your case’s standoffs.
It should work right im new to all this so just asking lol
yeah I think im going to burger mount too
I don’t think so, specifically the TX AP plate mounted stabs.
ohh okk tyy
You can only use plate mounted stabs for the 60HE but why do you want to switch them out?
Does the original stabs have wobble?
thinking about getting raptor HE switches too
Yes but they come very generously lubed. 😂
You’d only buy new stabs if you want a different sound signature or if you want to tweak them without having to clean them.
the original stabs work just fine from what people have said, onlt thing is you might wanna do your own lube job since hand lubing will be better than the factory lube
I don’t know if TX AP Plate Mounts work. Someone complained that the Switch Plate cutouts were too small but not really sure..
Any new switch releases since jades? 
None that are confirmed to be compatible with Wooting. The KS-20U (Dual rail) should be available in the next 1-3 week(s).
have you tried out raptor he switches
Yes, they perform similar to Lekker switches.
Moving places on Saturday and I've just got a box of Jades, box of oranges and a box of whites chilling 
the temptation is real
I have heard they have less wobble than the lekkers which is what Im aiming for
but I also have L45s so I might do a stem and spring swap for the keys I mostly use for gaming
You could’ve just bought oranges and jades and spring swap to create whites 🤣🤣🤣
Yes they do have slightly tighter tolerances and if you stem swap them they’re even tighter but you can feel the resistance.
I had the oranges and whites before the jades released, but never installed them since I was waiting for the 60HE Module. The module arrived in my new place today and I can't wait to throw jades on it tbh
Anyone have any nice keycaps recommendations for the 60he?
Keycaps are a personal preference based on color, budget and location.
In general do you have any recommendations for an all black setup as of rn
Nice, you got the color part of the question down. Please add a location and budget.
location: On the keyboard
Budget: $0
minimum
maximum
oh
Average me and pochizo :D
BoB/WoB sets would fit an all black setup nicely.
Blanks
Blank sets too yeah
But people who can’t type blindly wouldn’t be so happy with blanks 🤣
i can type pretty well blind, but sometimes i gotta look for a single key, i just dont think i could do blannks tbh
but im gonna do BOG, which in the dark is pretty much the same haah
letters arent an issue, but its the icons i gotta look for sometimes
oh yeah
I got stuck on <> [] {} for so long.
tbf tho, i tend to not actually look, i just click and backspace till i find the right keys haha
😅
i feel you
maybe i should get keycaps with blank on top and the letters on the side
like at the front
you want to look for side printed then
i can do it fine mostly, till i start thinking about it, then i cant do it well anymore
This is fine as long as it’s not shinethrough, Woot doesn’t have south facing LEDs.
some look great but idk abt the sound
pbt or high quality abs
wait, theres shinetrough side legends
Yeah but it even though Woot has bright LEDs it still doesn’t look great.
soiunds shit
would it be smth like this
yeah, don't go there, it's a rabbit hole deeper than the Pacific ocean
That’s Womier’s caps I think.
yeah. that makes sense
But that’s what I mean yeah
Womier is the only who makes double shot pbt with side legends
but no where near the quality of wooting caps for example.
I hate their website
looks like a scam site
are ducky keycaps good
i would just got for WOB Side legends then tbh, altough no clue which ones are good
😂
Whats your budget ?
If you can drive a manual car then you can touch type. Ezy go blanks fr
fr
Low quality double shot pbt I think.
but it would be the opposite for me
if that makes sense
Auto licence wen?
i touch type but look down once in a while to like correct my self cause i have bad hand eye coordination
idfk
like once in a minute
eh ?
??
wait you're telling me i dont have to buy 10000 mods and clip stabs because some random guy said so?
No

Original stabs mighjt even be prelubed properly now
no one asked about stabs ?
Oh
module are lubed well
My chat isnt scrolling automatically lol
it was so out of no where lmao
Module is lubed well dunno about the stock 60he
ok but whats your favorite keycap profile
ada or whatever
cherry or similar ones
if youre not rocking cherry your a nerd
or similar
Apple chicklet
xda i think mine are
im running asa
