Boba U4T is pretty good as far as tactiles go, it's still my goto until I find something I like better

fluid ravine
#

makes me happy when im not gaming

median spade
#

Personally I think mx blacks on alu are the best clack as old as that combo is

fluid ravine
#

Ah

#

sounds abt right

true patrol
#

I want to try out those new gateron melodic clickies, with the click leaf in them. The sound is so strange for a clicky

median spade
#

this my main board i use for work and stuff outside gaming

fluid ravine

fluid ravine
#

BUT THAT SOUNDS INTERESTING pepecry

median spade
#

oh yeah that's right one

#

yeah loud af

#

sounds good for clickies tho

fluid ravine
#

it sounds like a uh

#

uhhhhhhhhh

#

metronome

#

i think

median spade
#

yeah these switches make unique sound as housing is PBT

fluid ravine
#

PBT? woa

median spade
#

mmhmm

fluid ravine
#

didnt know that was a thing

#

for housings

#

wehhh

median spade
#

sadly they're only in china and still expensive af even over there

#

like $1.10 per switch

#

called peacock blues

fluid ravine

fluid ravine
#

LMAO

median spade
#

Epomaker has them now i guess

#

i felt stupid buying them

#

but they're nice

fluid ravine
#

$20 FOR 10?!

#

WHAT

median spade
#

yeah that's bad

#

i found beter one lol

#

epomaker trying to scam people out here lmao

fluid ravine
#

@quiet bay WHAT THE FACK

#

$20 FOR FUCKING 10 SWITCHES

#

YOU SEE THIS

median spade
#

Bottom link is better as $8.30 for 10

fluid ravine
#

not better to me but like

median spade
#

but yeah idk what epomaker is doing

fluid ravine
#

thats better than 20 ig Ohno

true patrol
#

$10 for long pole linear is horrid

median spade
#

better price than i paid in past for $1.10 per switch

true patrol
#

there are plenty of proven good that don't cost that much

median spade
#

oh for sure

fluid ravine
#

Akko

median spade
#

you get thes as you absolutely know youw ant them

fluid ravine
#

👀

median spade
#

since they're pbt housing

#

and nothing else sounds like them

#

never recommend them to most people for that reason

fluid ravine
#

holy fk

#

$140 for just 70 bruv

#

or 120 for 60

true patrol
#

oh I had to look at like 5 links before I saw something that said they're pbt housing, that's super interesting

fluid ravine
#

holy fk

median spade
#

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...

▶ Play video
true patrol
#

You'd think they'd advertise that more front and center since it's the unique thing about them

fluid ravine
#

thats a whole keyboard right there

median spade
#

they've only been in china so yeah idk

#

before you could only get them on taobao even

#

was a pain in the ass

fluid ravine
#

good clacks

#

i like em

true patrol
#

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

median spade
#

i wish they owuld make 7u module

#

i have my wooting in frog mini but it's wk and i love wkl

true patrol
#

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

median spade
#

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

true patrol
#

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

median spade
#

yeppp

#

board is good price but then $60 shipping for me too

true patrol
#

it's coming with me to keycon for sure, gotta make use of the included case somehow KEKW

median spade
#

Wkl just the best

#

Hey wooting tsangan wooting when

true patrol
#

as soon as there is a market that justifies making a lot of them at once (never)

median spade
#

Facts

true patrol
#

but I'm sure someone will come along and make a HE WKL board, just probably won't perform as well

median spade
#

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

true patrol
#

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

median spade
#

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) PepeBeat

true patrol
#

so far I'm quite pleased with the raptors, I doubt I'll be changing from them unless something insane comes along

median spade
#

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

agile ridge
#

Hi guys do i put this thing on or off? Thanks

stray tiger
agile ridge
#

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

normal schooner
#

ooh lol discprd didnt load messages

quiet bay
fluid ravine
#

HAH

normal schooner
#

#

you see funny icons on the pcb

stray tiger
agile ridge
#

Oh ok

#

I think imma just throw it since no texhnical difference lmaodogekek

stray tiger
#

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.

normal schooner
#

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

agile ridge
#

Ohhh alright

#

Thank you guys

normal schooner
#

if ypu dont know how the foam goes watch our youtube tutorials 😎 or post a pic for conformation

agile ridge
#

Oke

normal schooner

@fluid ravine and @quiet bay are master keyboard builders now

and @stray tiger is the grandmaster

#

Visual symmetry for mine and better with a split backspace imo. That's pretty much it

static tendon
#

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

static tendon
loud zephyr
static tendon
#

Can't it be done without the 7u spacebar and just not include the switch there?

#

Or does it require a 7u spacebar

loud zephyr
#

yeah u need 7u spacebar to spread the keys out evenly

static tendon
#

Gotcha

stray tiger
static tendon
stray tiger

Like these

blissful sluice
static tendon
#

Got it. Yeah it’s understandable for shotgun mics to speak towards the end of the mic

shell geode
fluid ravine
#

influencing me that is

shell geode
true patrol
#

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

shell geode
#

I agree. I played it back, sounded great, uploaded for Thockson 👍

fluid ravine
#

@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

@stray tiger You got some solid gear here, do you by any chance stream?

That would be really nice

I'm not a good enough typist for asmr lol.

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.

i know a val yt that does this

#

i will show an example

stray tiger
#

Ahh ok sure let me see haha

stray otter
#

Hurt its feelings

fluid ravine
stray tiger
#

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

untold wigeon
#

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

What are some good pink and baby blue keycap sets for the wooting?

quiet bay
sullen salmon
#

drop wob or gmk wob?

stray otter
#

Domikey

sullen salmon
#

domikey?

#

they're suspiciosly cheap

true patrol
#

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

sullen salmon
#

heard they were apparently better than the gmk

true patrol
#

Which drop set? Are they ABS?

#

drop doesn’t generally do OEM stuff

sullen salmon
#

i believe its the drop dcx wob set

#

yeah drop dcx

true patrol
#

oh yeah I forgot about those

sullen salmon
#

thoughts?

true patrol
#

They’re fine, I’m not a fan of the kitting but for the wooting that’s irrelevant

sullen salmon
#

kitting?

true patrol
#

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

sullen salmon
#

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?

true patrol
#

A little, depends which PBT set you had

#

Some PBT is super textured and some is super smooth

sullen salmon
#

pbtfans bog

true patrol
#

gmk is good texture imo, but of course there is the eventual abs shine that some love and some hate

sullen salmon
#

from the finger oils?

true patrol
#

I believe it’s just from small friction over time, not necessarily oils

sullen salmon
#

so it eventually leaves a mark/shine spot on common keys?

true patrol
#

But I could be wrong on that

stray otter
stray otter
true patrol
#

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

stray otter
#

But most of the bigger manufacturers are of enough quality that it'll take years

sullen salmon
#

so pbt would last longe r

stray otter
sullen salmon
#

why are people such fans of gmk if they wear out quicker?

true patrol
#

They sound good and are generally kitted super well (depends on set though)

stray otter
#

Because A, huge selection+ custom group buys

true patrol
#

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)

stray otter
#

That's very debatable

sullen salmon
#

so pbtfans with a colourway you like is more ideal if its a quality set of pbt caps?

stray otter
#

Their packaging is subpar

sullen salmon
#

pbtfans packaging?

stray otter
#

GMK

sullen salmon
#

ah

true patrol
#

New trays were supposed to be more eco friendly styrofoam type shit, but they’re pretty much destined for the trash straightaway

stray otter
sullen salmon
#

so when comparing gmk and pbtfans on a wob set what would you guys recommend?

true patrol
#

It’s preference

stray otter
#

That and their production issues that have had some GB kits take 2+ years only to be canceled

true patrol
#

I know “it’s preference” is a shit answer but when comparing PBT to ABS that will always be the answer

sullen salmon
#

what are the determining factors of the prefernce?

stray otter
#

The printing and warping made me not pick them personally.

stray otter
#

A few others but those are the biggest ones generally

#

For all the negatives I'm highlighting I'll add this as a balance

sullen salmon
#

i think pbt is probably my preference then tbh as long as i get a solid set

stray otter
#

If you're picking something like BoW or a readily available option you're likely going to be pleased

true patrol
#

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

stray otter
#

It's apparently the more custom GBs that have issues

#

I love my triple shot Semiconductor caps.

#

Zero printing or fit issues.

sullen salmon
#

oo show?

stray otter
sullen salmon
#

godd damn

#

whats the case and switches youve got in it?

stray otter
#

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

sullen salmon
#

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

stray otter
#

Agreed

sullen salmon
#

id argue it sounds a little worse at least in my board however it feels a lot bouncier and maybe even more responsive

stray otter
#

The Tofu is nice but I wanted something different and I like the shape of the Blade

sullen salmon
#

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

stray otter
#

I want the Raptors eventually and Frankenstein them but I'm waiting for a US vendor

sullen salmon
#

kbdfans?

#

or is that like chinese

#

i thought they had a warehouse in like us or sum

sullen salmon
stray otter
#

Maybe. I haven't been keeping up. I was only aware of the geon site itself

sullen salmon
#

ah right

#

kbdfans has them but i think they're out of stock atm

#

couldve restocked idk

stray otter
#

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

sullen salmon
#

im a slave to both

#

all about the perfect sound and the perfect feel

stray otter
#

I get it So you'll never be happy 😉

sullen salmon
#

basically yup :)

crimson sky
stray otter
#

I love my set up as is.

sullen salmon
#

wear in and probably a decent amount of lubing

crimson sky
#

Happens fairly quickly tho

#

Nah

#

Lube is totally fine imo

stray otter
#

I'd rather make another build than teeek this a ton more

crimson sky
#

Raptor springs would if you use them

#

Lekker springs sre basically perfect ootb

sullen salmon
#

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

crimson sky
#

eh

#

you can actually make them worse with handlubing

#

gat x for example are difficult in that regard

#

they get less smooth with 205g0

mellow beacon
#

silicone pad for clack sounds and poron pad for thock sounds? True or not?

mellow beacon
#

weird wootings website claims the opposite

crimson sky
#

still eats up higher frequencies

#

so ideally you want no foam

#

which I would not recommend with the default steel plate

glacial wind
#

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

fair vessel
#

are there any aftermarket feet for the alumaze? I'd like a more agressive slope than either of the 2 provided sets deliver

crimson sky
#

I don't think we used premade feet but made our own molds for the silicone.

what mods should i do to my 60he ive been thinking about tape modding, keycaps, and case swap

balmy nymph
# mellow beacon weird wootings website claims the opposite

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

cold rivet
#

kept the wooting keycap !

red igloo
#

Plz

cold rivet
devout torrent
#

add one of these

elder wind
#

Is modding the wooting worth it?

devout torrent
#

or thgis

#

lol

cold rivet
#

im ordering a different escape key lol

#

i just know the quality of these keycaps are so good

#

the esc key will be changed

cold rivet
#

i would recommend the L45 switches, they are so much nicer imo

#

including the keyboard it cost me around £450?

elder wind
#

Im considering getting this case and these keycaps

cold rivet
#

i used tofu redux too

#

i was gonna go with the one wooting brought out, but i dont like the gold accent personally

remote gust
elder wind
#

Yes same here

remote gust
#

So am I

cold rivet
#

ducky?

remote gust
#

I’m also considering that colour

cold rivet
#

i think the extra money and going to drop.com for better keycaps is worth it

#

i think mine were 80 pounds or so

elder wind
#

Then imma use the analog switch pressure lighting and make that red to match my black and red theme

remote gust
cold rivet
#

they feel so much nicer

#

and sound

remote gust
#

I got two sets of them for $90

cold rivet
#

an offer?

remote gust
#

Yeah

#

Buy one get one free

cold rivet
#

crazy

remote gust
#

It was from there 12 days of Christmas

elder wind
#

I was gonna pre order the new red one but the maroon looks cleaner ngl

cold rivet
#

i like the meteorite grey but i hard the texture is like sand paper

remote gust
#

It’s so nice

elder wind
#

My keyboard rn is the razer huntsman v2 tkl

#

Its booty cheek

remote gust
#

Crazy upgrade

grizzled path
#

tight, loose, hairy, smooth?

elder wind
#

Im exited to try out those switches

remote gust
#

My old keyboard sounds and feels nicer, but the Wooting performance and software is unrivalled and makes up for it

elder wind
#

Ill order the L45 fs

cold rivet
#

the l45

#

soooooooooo nice

#

i didnt lube them

remote gust
#

Same

elder wind
#

I might try lubing them up real good

remote gust
#

You getting the module ?

remote gust
cold rivet
#

i foam and tape modded

remote gust
#

Trust me

elder wind
#

Might as well lube the case and the keycaps too

cold rivet
#

lube the case XD?

elder wind
#

I need may fingers to slip off the board

remote gust
#

The switches or stabs don’t need lubing tbh

cold rivet
#

theyre alr factory lubed and decent

elder wind
#

Ok bet

cold rivet
#

if u do extra i assume it would be a lil weird

#

unless u add the smallest amount

signal berry
#

yeah i love lube

cold rivet
#

and assuming u use a razer u prolly havent lubed before

elder wind
#

Is it easy to switch the switches out

cold rivet
#

with the right puller yh

elder wind
#

It would he my first time modding a keyboard

remote gust
#

Do you already have a Wooting ?

signal berry
elder wind
#

No not yet

signal berry
elder wind
#

It gets here soon

remote gust
elder wind
#

60he

cold rivet
remote gust
elder wind
#

Yeah taking forever

cold rivet
#

howver i have only ever lubed one set

#

yellow gatreons

elder wind
#

But compared to my old board big upgrade

remote gust
# elder wind 60he

If you’re case swapping and replacing switches you shoulda got the 60He+ module

cold rivet
#

yh

remote gust
#

Save money and sounds better

signal berry
#

broo

#

i was going to but i forgot

elder wind
#

Considered it to late

cold rivet
#

now u have extra keycaps, board and switches

signal berry
#

i jst realized it a few days ago 😦

elder wind
#

Didnt get the idea until recently

cold rivet
#

i do too, but i bought my wooting on first batch

signal berry
#

same

elder wind
#

Ordered dec 2

signal berry
#

yeah we’re some acoustic mfs

elder wind
#

Ong

signal berry
elder wind
#

Fr

signal berry
#

finna be eating some good chick fila 😤

cold rivet
#

because theyre already decent, u might end up over lubing and thats not worth risking imo

signal berry
#

uhh i’ve never lubed before

cold rivet
#

if u really dislike them, u can always do it in the future

signal berry
#

so i don’t wanna risk it on my endgame keyboard

#

true

#

i really only want to do it for the sound

cold rivet
#

theyre nicer than my lubed switches

signal berry
#

i want my board to sound creamy

#

pause

remote gust
#

They sound decent for he switches

cold rivet
#

im not sure if u should get aluminium case for that

signal berry
#

well, not super cramy

#

but liek

#

smooth

#

buttery

elder wind
#

I just like heavier boards

cold rivet
#

i bought the extra weight moid

signal berry
#

i watched a video on the wooting channel i liked the way it sounded and it had aluminum plate

cold rivet
#

keyboard heavy asf

elder wind
#

My old one was the durgod hk hades

cold rivet
#

the bras s plate

signal berry
#

it’s kinda hard for me to describe it but i think i’ll buy the wooting alumaze

remote gust
signal berry
#

should i go for that or the tofu?

#

tofu out of stock rn

cold rivet
#

depends on ur preference

#

theyre the same thing different look

signal berry
#

i fw the gold piece

remote gust
#

The tofu is so clean and simple and has great colours

cold rivet
#

wooting low profile

signal berry
#

but the strap is goofy

cold rivet
#

yh i dont like the gold

elder wind
#

I want my shit to feel like mjolnir

cold rivet
#

so i got tofu

#

the strap stays in the case lol

signal berry
#

but i do want to stand out lmao

elder wind
#

Weight wise

signal berry
#

the wooting case has character

remote gust
signal berry
#

my wooting should be at the crib by the time i get home from sch

remote gust
#

That shit is a literal brick

elder wind
#

Plus shipping on wooting is a lil yk

signal berry
#

acoustic

cold rivet
#

i bought the cable from wooting too

#

to justify the shipping

#

for the switches

signal berry
#

😭😭

cold rivet
#

50 pounds for a cable

#

but fuck it

signal berry
#

yea

elder wind
#

Imma probably get the module then with the case and the switches then resell my wooting for 500 on ebay

cold rivet
#

i wont need to buy another one again and it looks nice

signal berry
#

is it 2 cables or one

elder wind
#

😂

remote gust
#

I just got my module and switches together, cos the switches come half price (£17 instead of £35)

signal berry
cold rivet
#

just one with attachments

#

coiled

#

where does bro find all these deals

#

i paid full or everything i got

#

lo

signal berry
#

lmao

cold rivet
#

besides the keycaps without shipping were 6 dollars off but like 20 dollars shipping anyway

signal berry
#

with the model the switches are 20

#

module

#

liek bruh

cold rivet
#

yeah i bought my wooting like over a year ago

#

pre order beofre they were made

#

there wasnt a module

signal berry
#

i rlly wanna flip mine on ebay

#

to buy a module

signal berry
#

but i’ll just mod mine and throw the pcb under my desk

cold rivet
#

or dutch?

remote gust
cold rivet
#

same how u get free shipping

#

ive been scammed

remote gust
cold rivet
#

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

remote gust
#

They didn’t do it this year

#

Only last

cold rivet
#

oh i see

#

icl who came up with this design

#

these r ass

bronze grove
#

To each their own. 🙂

slim drift
cold rivet
#

i think make some plain ones with a hint of wooting

#

this is a lot

#

i want a wooting esc key

elder wind
#

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

remote gust
#

If you’re planning on case swapping and swapping switches the module comes out a decent amount cheaper

cold rivet
#

cheap but good mods

uncut musk
#

dont need foam

#

comes with it

cold rivet
#

# elder wind And i just got a new mouse the razer viper pro v2

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.

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

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?

untold wigeon
#

the included pc plate is perfect

azure jacinth
#

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!

What type of tape did you guys use for tape modding and how many layers?

quiet bay
#

I used 1 layer of masking tape and another layer of moleskin tape

uncut musk

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?

# radiant berry 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.

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
