[midnight hornet]

Hey guys i just got my alumaze and i noticed these in the package
What do i use these for?

[bronze grove]

https://help.wooting.io/article/177-putting-your-60he-module-together

Put them on the standoffs to cushion sounds a bit.

[median spade]

Well if I had any thoughts about canceling the Fjell it’s already picked up and will be here Monday damn lol

[midnight hornet]

Ooh i see thanks!

[median spade]

[sullen salmon]

i would imagine its just foam switch films

ive got some

plastic? probably not. foam? feel like it could help with the sound maybe. worth a try since films are cheap so

[marsh olive]

How is that compared to the Lekker and ks-20

[sullen salmon]

i dont have them on hand but allegedly theyre the best magnetic switche son the market rn

[paper bloom]

i c

[median spade]

much better sound wise and feel. Less wobble and they sound closer to a proper mechanical switch

@static tendon

[marsh olive]

Are there any other Hall effect switches on the market that I don’t know about? I’ve seen red and black ones but just can’t remember the names

Also what are you favorites so far?

Assuming the Jades

[median spade]

Jades for sure, but raptors are also good

[quick gulch]

I think the jades don’t really do the frog justice

[median spade]

Yeah I'm a bit surprised here and think raptors have been the best in frog tbh

[quick gulch]

I just put jades on the stab keys, raptors weren’t doing it there

But yea the raptors are real nice

[median spade]

will say tho the jades def sound more like mx switches

[quick gulch]

Oh idk raptors sound a lot like a gateron switch

But jades do sound like a lot more like you’d expect a long pole to sound ya

[median spade]

Only complaint I have about jades really is what I knew I would, and that's the spring weight being light as a feather

I swapped the spacebar one to the L60 spring already, and will do the other ones eventually

[quick gulch]

Yea very light

[stray tiger]

The jades in the frog with that plate sound like pebbles hitting it. Almost like real jade. Guess they are named right lol

[mossy nexus]

Does anyone know if Klippe T has sharp pointy corners like Tofu Redux? Redux is otherwise perfect but corners make it uncomfortable.

[tame vessel]

Oh never thought about doing a spring swap between the L60s and the Jades. That does sound kinda nice to avoid accidental presses

[stray tiger]

Do you mean the edges?

[mossy nexus]

yes

[paper bloom]

u cld actually use rubber and tape those ends

the GH60 seems alright same with the Alumaze

[paper bloom]

in the pic of the website looks like it does

[stray tiger]

yes the edges are squared

[paper bloom]

oh so they arent pointy like the Tofu i c

[copper pulsar]

yes it does

personally i don’t really see the difference with the klippe and the tofu

basically the exact same case

[mossy nexus]

Thanks for the help - no Klippe T then 🥲

[devout torrent]

Klippe is tall af

front height

[copper pulsar]

they have the same typing angle, no ?

i think the klippe t might be 8 degrees

the tofu is 7

[stray tiger]

They are similar cases. The Klippe is a higher quality case but is more expensive. 1 degree difference in typing angle.

[paper bloom]

u can check the other compatible case list

[copper pulsar]

me personally*

[paper bloom]

or if u want u can get your own mod in and tape the corners

[copper pulsar]

i don’t think

i’d buy a klippe t

the quality difference is very slight

but that’s just me

[stray tiger]

Having owned multiples of both I feel like the Klippe finishes are much higher quality

[paper bloom]

https://drop.com/buy/60-keyboard-case

[copper pulsar]

i love the tofu but i do want to explore more cases, i was looking into a blade60 or an fjell

[stray tiger]

Fjell is even better. Same typing angle though

[copper pulsar]

ah i see

[copper pulsar]

yea, the fjell is very good

should have my wooting by thr end of the upcoming week

very excited.

[stray tiger]

This is the second Tofu Ive had that showed LED fading or weak anodizing in areas. Ive never had that problem witu the Mekanisk cases

[mossy nexus]

Already have Maze64 in white, Tofu Redux + Freebird60 in black 🥲 Noticed I prefer higher case with cherry profile caps.

[paper bloom]

OOF

[paper bloom]

is the fjell 8 degree typing or 7 degree typing angle

[copper pulsar]

ahh, is it the same with the redux ?

[copper pulsar]

8

[stray tiger]

8 I believe

[paper bloom]

OOF to high for me

[stray tiger]

I never purchased a redux but I dont imagine they changed the finishing process. I could be wrong.

[devout torrent]

Freebird60 and maze64 are lower angle

[paper bloom]

I was looking into the cyberspace case that was made but its sadly only for the 75% or 65% which sucks

[devout torrent]

Maybe mojo60 you’ll like cause it’s round

[paper bloom]

im running the Tofu redux

[copper pulsar]

i had the issue with my other tofu case, they advertised that the anodizing was better on the redux, i’ve had mine for 4 months and i haven’t noticed any fading, again i might not have had mine long enough.

i wish i could get a blade60 in stock, they’re always sold out

[paper bloom]

Dont theyhave the USB port exposed for the tofu

[stray tiger]

One of my favorite cases for the 60HE most people have never heard of or seen. It was a very limited run case that looks like a Fjell (same shape and shaped bezels) but at a low front lip and 5 degree typing angle

[copper pulsar]

no it’s not, there’s a cover for it you can remove though

[copper pulsar]

what is it

[paper bloom]

i mean upon installation

For the board

[paper bloom]

Thats actually pretty rare

[stray tiger]

It's actually on my desk right now

[copper pulsar]

no i don’t think so

[dull thicket]

Tofu60 Redux case with Geon raptor switch cases and lekkar stem, lubed with krytox 205 g0

[paper bloom]

So its just me LOL

ig i pushed the module too low

[paper bloom]

Thats hella nice

[devout torrent]

What is this one called?

[bitter valve]

Jeez, fjell is $300?

[copper pulsar]

possibly

[copper pulsar]

yep.

[bitter valve]

Gotta love my hobby

[copper pulsar]

i want to buy a new case for my wooting

[paper bloom]

ive checked for new cases as well

but i cldnt find any

https://kprepublic.com/products/light-edge-60-anodized-aluminium-case-mechanical-keyboard-purple-grey-gh60-xd64-gk61-gk64

[copper pulsar]

i didn’t know the wooting wrist rest fit this perfectly on the redux, might buy one

[paper bloom]

i found this

[waxen bane]

I bought the alumaze, but it hasn’t come in and I’m considering other cases should I switch?

[copper pulsar]

kprepublic had nice stuff

[bitter valve]

Better than on alumaze

[paper bloom]

return the alumaze if you dont like it or refund it

[devout torrent]

I now want one very bad lmao

[copper pulsar]

this is a preference question. alumaze is great, but if u want something else get something else.

there’s no real issue with the alumaze though lol

[dull thicket]

Meteorite grey E-coating Redux...really nice and yes wrist rest is bang on same size

[waxen bane]

I just need something low profile, is the alumaze considered tall?

[copper pulsar]

no, very flat i think

the typing angle is pretty low to my knowledge

it comes with adjustable feet, but the base typing angle is 4 degrees

[glacial wind]

alumaze is one of lowest angles you can get besides that one aliexpress case that is 0 degrees

[copper pulsar]

0 ?? 😭😭😭

[paper bloom]

i bought one in black and one in Quartz wrist rest

[agile grove]

0 degree keyboard seems odd... I feel like keycap profile would make it look bad

[stray tiger]

It was called the Sentraq High Profile case. It came in 3 versions. All aluminum, all acrylic or a combo of both. This was over 6yrs ago though so good luck. I think there was around 50 made haha

50/50 version looked great. The acrulic ring around the middle was nice.

[copper pulsar]

i pray one day we get customization on the wrist rests and alumaze

if i could get a maroon wrist rest id buy it right now no hesitation

[stray tiger]

And here was the acrylic version

[paper bloom]

im praying for one of those uhh futuristic keyboard cases that has a LED display on it that is 60%

and can be used for the wooting 60HE

[stray tiger]

That one might be tough as the 60HE doesnt have a connector for any extral displays.

[agile grove]

well we're getting a white wrist rest and a white alumaze eventually

[median spade]

this litearlly just looks like a fjell lol

[paper bloom]

u dont need one if it is in the board, like uhh a multi type C extender

[stray tiger]

There are quite a few gasket and top-mount cases that you can use for the 60HE with a custom plate

[median spade]

what is even different about it design wise

[agile grove]

wouldnt be surprised if they make even more colors tho

[stray tiger]

Yes, just much lower height and angle. Mini fjell

[median spade]

interesting interesting

would be cool if leandren added brass weight to klippe too

[copper pulsar]

yea i was gonna say, a bit smaller than the fjell as well i believe

[median spade]

tofu redux is much improved from the normal tofu we've had for years

[paper bloom]

@copper pulsarTry tis

https://clickclack.io/pages/arc60

[median spade]

my fjell will somehow already be here on monday because dhl goes crazy

[copper pulsar]

yea, that’s what i said. the anodizing is definitely better

[median spade]

Yeah my black one I was impressed

[paper bloom]

nvm

[copper pulsar]

dhl shipping is elite, got my tofu in literally 4 days after i ordered it

[paper bloom]

i didnt see the USB port

its in the middle

[median spade]

life, death, and dhl being fast af

[copper pulsar]

https://kbdfans.com/products/holy60?variant=41813420540043

i still plan on trying this.

[agile grove]

theoretically possible if it could tap into the power and data line of any board, but it would require a multi type USB C cable and soldering straight to the board. however I dont think it would work with how much power HE draws. only other way is for it to have its own display cable and port but that would look odd imo.

[copper pulsar]

real, praying they give my 60he+ module to dhl 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[paper bloom]

It still works but u cld also Route the cable into a different format or ig solder

its one way but its painful

Or replace the key and make a make your own

LED switch and have it stuck into it

have it still work as a key while have it as a moniter or have a wireless

Thing going into the module or soldered while being powered from the power draw

[agile grove]

well the thing is that the board itself has the USB port on it, so the screen would need to somehow tap into that, either that or use some sort of extender that the board and screen connect to, but that would increase the size of the case a lot.

[paper bloom]

Yea

Dont forget it depends on the LED too

[agile grove]

wdym?

its a screen it just needs power and a connection to a PC

would just act as a monitor

[paper bloom]

but u still need some software

to change RGB or change the look of it

/display anything

unless its being coupled ig

[agile grove]

depends on the type of screen, but theoretically your PC would just detect it as a display

[paper bloom]

i c

[bitter valve]

Few more builds and I will make a kb with all random switches lol

[paper bloom]

but yea itd be a good idea icl

[median spade]

Yeah that gateron pack was weird

No clue was the all clear switch is

[bitter valve]

North pole in glacier kaihl housing? Not sure lol

[median spade]

@harsh dove did you end up lubing the springs or anything on your jades? Wondering for when fjell gets here if I should do anything else while I have wooting disassembled at that time

or when im spring swapping the jades to my lekker 60 springs

[marsh saffron]

i didnt think it could get worse than mice with holes

what the fuck

[sharp yew]

how else are you gonna lift the keyboard while you game

[fluid ravine]

Now thats clacks
i like it

Jades and raptors sound good but i prefer Jades for all out clack

[median spade]

Yeah I’m loving the jades

[midnight hornet]

Hows the rgb on the jades? I saw the plastic on top isnt as clear as on the lekkers

[agile grove]

yeah how are you gonna slide it around

[sharp yew]

just get some tiger dots and the new artisan desk pad

perhaps chop the keyboard in half

[median spade]

Don’t use rgb myself so couldn’t tell you

[agile grove]

maybe just use the pcb with tiger dots on it

[midnight hornet]

oh i see

[sharp yew]

drill HOLES in the pcb

[agile grove]

theoretically it isn’t impossible to cut out all of empty parts of the pcb and just have the threads of the pcb, you may even be able to get rid of the rgb threads

[median spade]

This is south facing too

60he is north facing on the switches by default so it would probs be even better than this

[midnight hornet]

ooh that is really good especially since they are south facing hmm now im tempted

wanted to wait first to see if the 80he maybe comes with lekkers 2.0

[median spade]

From looking at them it's p clear and looks same as lekkers to me tbh

in terms of opaqueness

[midnight hornet]

yeah thats great ill cop a pack soon ig

[copper pulsar]

u don’t get it.

[marsh saffron]

Yeah the holes look dumb

Same with mice

That's just my opinion

[iron bear]

Holes on anything like that look dumb (Mice included) 😅

[fierce canyon]

mouse holes are fine imo 'cause i'm a function over form guy and my hands aren't transparent so it doesn't make a difference there anyways

holes on a keyboard though? can't think of a functional purpose for that lol

looks silly to me

[sharp yew]

well jokes aside lets hear how it sounds

i do agree with mice though, we can have solid shells and good shapes

[iron bear]

Solid shells > Swiss cheese mice

[fierce canyon]

i mean if it's not flexing under normal use, and it's lightweight, and fits my hand, idgaf

i don't use my mouse as an artpiece or something

[iron bear]

What's the problem with the Superlight 2 then?

[sharp yew]

oh its logitech thats the problem

[iron bear]

Well get a Lamzu V2 4k then

[sharp yew]

its not necessarily only aesthetics but shape

[iron bear]

Ok

[sharp yew]

maya is 43g with a solid shell and a great shape

see not everything has to be for fingertip users

[iron bear]

But the V2 4K isn't fingertip?

[sharp yew]

I mean you can

[iron bear]

https://lamzu.com/products/lamzu-atlantis-og-v2-4k-gaming-mouse Sure

But wouldn't think it's comfortable?

[sharp yew]

im talking about these types of mice

rancid i know

[iron bear]

Ah ok so the upcoming M3K

[median spade]

I just wish we could get some 7u going

So tired of 6.25u ansi it’s ugly man

[iron bear]

I've used ''heavy'' mice all my life though but we're getting off-topic now

[median spade]

This is the layout we need for 60he

Life would be complete

[iron bear]

65% would be ideal

[median spade]

65% I don’t like much myself but I know people want arrow keys

[iron bear]

After using the 60HE i don't really need it but would be nice to have, it's not my endgame layout

[median spade]

My end game layout is like my Mx stuff which is 60% Wkl

Would be cool if wooting ever does 7u

Like this my work board and wish had same for wooting

[iron bear]

https://windstudio.store/cdn/shop/files/windx98_45_9ed8e3f5-2421-42e2-a483-6c37ad645dbb.jpg?v=1701248748 Want something like this

[agile grove]

numpad on the left side is odd

[iron bear]

But a numpad can be purchased separately so it's honestly unnecessary

Yes but it's there for mouse space instead

[median spade]

Wish southpaw looked better

Just looks so odd, but probs because we’re used to the other way

[iron bear]

Yeah for right-handed users it's ''better''

[marble shuttle]

are you using alu plate ? for frog

[static tendon]

Thank you for tagging

[median spade]

Pom as my alu one ended up pretty meh sadly

[marble shuttle]

😔

[marble shuttle]

prob my pcb will come next week literally felt like a year lol

i waited 3 months for og wooting that was nightwarwe

[iron bear]

PC is nice

But feel like FR4 is nicer don't know why

[harsh dove]

Arrow Key debate seems dumb when you have fn layers

But but “dedicated arrow keys”

https://tenor.com/view/sad-face-missing-gary-lonely-tears-spongebob-gif-14460070

[harsh dove]

Nah I left em as is

[agile grove]

64% is disgusting and is only used by people who “need” dedicated arrow keys

[harsh dove]

Nobody needs it that’s the thing

They just tell themselves they do

[agile grove]

fr

[harsh dove]

lol

[agile grove]

just like how people don’t need dedicated f-row or nav cluster or numpad

[harsh dove]

Numpad is the only thing I’d debate

Cause I’ve had jobs that do require a numpad

[midnight hornet]

most strategy games need the arrow keys

[agile grove]

ok but you dont need dedicated arrow keys for that

[harsh dove]

Job was based on speed, accuracy, efficiency so having a numpad was a lot faster

[midnight hornet]

for comfort yes but its not that hard pressing 2 buttons if they are next to each other
just a bit annoying when you need it all the time in a game

[iron bear]

The numpad can be used for a lot of scenarios though

[harsh dove]

Yeah

That’s why I said that’s the only thing I’d debate lol

Everything else can be solved with fn layers

[iron bear]

Yeah

[agile grove]

you can just rebind the bottom right cluster im game tho

not like you’d be using those keys anyways

[midnight hornet]

could do that too ig

[harsh dove]

We getting a touch screen knob and hotswap badges on the 80HE?

lol

[median spade]

Layers are for players

[median spade]

I'm so used to my fn arrows key even when I use my tkl or 65% I never touch the arrow keys

[rustic yacht]

has anybody tried o-ring mount in an alumaze ?

[median spade]

It works, but doesn't do much

[rustic yacht]

in any way ? or just the flex part

[median spade]

I mean fricition mount doesn't really work that much anyways unless pcb and board is designed for it

But just doesn't have much effect on sound for alumaze compared to tofu

[rustic yacht]

👍 thanks

[sharp yew]

just wish that tofu port was bigger

[bitter valve]

Anyone here lubed jades? wondering which parts are beneficial to lube since I can`t really test it atm.

[stray tiger]

Doesn't do much for the flex part but it does remove the dead sound points you run into with standard tray mounting. Gives you a more consistent sound profile

[stray tiger]

A few people have.

[harsh dove]

Bottom housing , stem, top housing, springs

[bitter valve]

so just dip in 205 lol

[harsh dove]

Yeah, fill a bowl with 205 and dump em all in there

[bitter valve]

ty tho, appreciate the info

[harsh dove]

joking

Np

[bitter valve]

Okay, another question, thought on medical tape on the magnet itself to reduce the bottom-out ping?

[polar girder]

Not a horrible idea. As long at it doesn’t cause issues and done cleanly could be sweet

I’m going to try medical tape both sides of the PCB when I get my module

Not quite the same but hopefully it helps

[bitter valve]

got to test it in the keyboard first for sure, but now key release is louder than bottom out.

[quiet bay]

@fluid ravine lubed it with superlube cuz too lazy to hand lube

Before I think

(Not a wooting)

[normal schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/tea-fancy-pinky-gif-4503308

[bitter valve]

sounds good but vibrations are killing it for me

[quiet bay]

yeah still sounds a little wrong

I wanna try polyfill but dont got it

Maybe I’ll just gut one of my pillows

[bitter valve]

😄

[normal schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/emil-blonsky-weird-this-is-a-whole-new-level-of-weird-the-incredible-hulk-strange-gif-26522487

btw your keyboard sounds fine ponchizo

[idle pier]

Quick question here: so i went from a corsair K100 opx in ISO to a 60he module with L45s in ANSI. technically it should feel way lighter in terms of actuation force, but for example my L-shift key feels noticeably harder to actuate and this kinda fucks me in games sometimes. could it be because this l shift key now is big and has stabs in contrast with my previous iso keyboard? if so would lubing the stabs make it lighter to actuate?

[tame vessel]

Man I do enjoy the sound of the gummy mounted PCB in a Tofu Redux, but it is kind of a pain to get it out after

[light hawk]

hey everyone! I have a quick question regarding gummy o-ring mount for 60he+ module. I ordered the Jade switches and as per community suggestions opted for TX AP long pole stabs. HOWEVER, I ordered the plate mounted version, not pcb mount. will this still work with o-ring mod since both are not screw ins? I just don't know the difference really and how it would impact the mount

[tame vessel]

If it's the o-ring mod to friction mount the whole thing into a case then you actually need the plate/clip mounted stabs instead of the pcb screw ins

So you're actually good 😄

[whole iron]

Does anyone know if filming the switches will mess with the travel distance calculation?

[light hawk]

no I mean plate mount vs regular pcb clip-ins. not talking about the screw ins, I'm aware those wont work for gummy o-ring mount, however I'm confused if plate vs pcb mount makes a difference here.

[tame vessel]

Ah gotcha, I don't see why it would 🤔

[light hawk]

awesome thanks, I only build 1 custom board before so not really dealing with this on a regular basis. just needed to confirm I actually ordered the right parts and don't get a suprise while building it lol much appreciated

[agile grove]

if you still have the time to return/refund the long pole stabs I personally would. it’s very improbable you have issues with regular stabs and jades, and if you ever change your switch you would need to buy entirely new stabs. and if you do have issues there’s other fixes for it that don’t require long pole stabs.

the whole jades with regular stabs not working is pretty much misinformation, there’s a lotta people with normal stabs with no issues.

[light hawk]

wouldn't need to buy new stabs, the stock ones are still included with the 60HE+ module. but my concern here is the o-ring mount, which will not work with the stock screw-in stabs. so I need to buy others anyways. be it regular or long pole, I still need to get a new set if I want to do o-ring mount.

[agile grove]

well yeah if you switched from jades and wanted to keep gummy o-ring friction mount you would need to buy diff stabs

ik you need clip ins for gummy o-ring friction mount

[quasi topaz]

jades are goated switches

[light hawk]

I don't plan on switching anytime soon really. if they work as people suggest I'd be happy for a long time. and in the worst case I just spend an extra 15-20USD on new stabs, that's no big deal. I rather have the perfect fit from the start and go with long pole to compensate for the shorter travel distance. I just didn't understand what difference plate vs pcb mounted stabs make and if this has any impact on the clearance for the o-ring mount.

[quasi topaz]

jades are bad switches

[harsh dove]

You need to get PCB clip-in stabilizers. Plate mount won’t work for the module.

And you also don’t necessarily need long pole

[light hawk]

how come, didn't the previous model come with plate mounted stabilizers? so you're saying only screw-in like stock or pcb mounted would work, but no plate?

[harsh dove]

Correct

[light hawk]

what changed? some people already suggested me plate mount is fine and will work

[harsh dove]

The module PCB is modified to accommodate screw-in and clip-in stabilizers

[fluid ravine]

sounds better at least

[harsh dove]

Well maybe it can

But I honestly don’t see why you’d get a module just to have plate mount stabs

[light hawk]

I just need to replace screw-in stabs because they interfer with o-ring mount. I don't mind if plate or pcb mounted, that was my whole question which ones to pick because I didn't know the difference and if they are both compatible. but people give me different answers all the time so I'm lost tbh lol

[light hawk]

from this screenshot it seems like the actually confirm plate mounted works. because why else would they write "if you sand down the opening, you will loose compatibility with plate mounted stabilizers".

[harsh dove]

Right, they’re saying it’s compatible with plate mount

[light hawk]

ok nice then I don't have to change my order. all thats left is finding a the o-ring

[fluid ravine]

Wait fr?

[harsh dove]

Nah it works

[fluid ravine]

I didn't know the module doesn't support plate mount anymore.

God you got me tripping

---(o_　_)o

[harsh dove]

I just don’t see why’d you get a module to get plate mount

[fluid ravine]

Yeah I 100% agree

But I was so confused for a moment

[harsh dove]

lol yeah my bad

[fluid ravine]

All g

[light hawk]

what else should I get?

[fluid ravine]

For..

[light hawk]

don't understand what you mean by that. I didn't want to get the full board because it's not in stock nor do I need anything else other than the PCB, rest will be aftermarket parts

[harsh dove]

Well just cause part of the purpose of the module is that it supports screw-in and clip-in stabs , which most people prefer

But it’s really up to you

[light hawk]

but doesnt the fully build board do too? it's labeled as "60he+"

[harsh dove]

No, the regular 60HE only supports plate mount stabs, which some people don’t like compared to screw-in or clip-in

[light hawk]

from what I see on the website the PCB is identical

[harsh dove]

It is identical aside from the fact that the module PCB supports screw-in and clip-in stabs

[quiet bay]

They updated wooting 60he

it's now 60HE+

!!!

[light hawk]

hm ok, either way as I said I didn't know better which ones of the two to pick, I just knew I needed to order NOT screw-in stabs

[light hawk]

yep what I said...?

[quiet bay]

now all prebuilts will have screw in support (still comes with plate mount tho)

[harsh dove]

So the fully built board comes with the module PCB now?

But comes with steel plate and plate mount stabs?

[quiet bay]

yep

[harsh dove]

Fair enough

Didn’t know they updated it

[harsh dove]

Very nice

[light hawk]

idk about the stabs and plate, but I'm pretty sure the PCB is identical. so I was confused about your question why I'd pick the module in the first place lol

hope this makes sense now

[harsh dove]

Well like I said, most people prefer PCB mounted stabs I.e. screw-in or clip-in

But it’s your choice really

[light hawk]

ye, they are a bit more expensive too. at least the TX AP cost 18eur vs 12eur for plate mounted

[harsh dove]

And like you said if you’re going for gummy mount then you’ll need clip-in or plate mounted to use gummy mount

[light hawk]

so 50% more

[harsh dove]

But you only need them for the backspace and spacebar

[light hawk]

yes correct, those are the only ones really but I'll replace all just to not mix stuff

[harsh dove]

Yeah fair enough

[light hawk]

I could ask support if they can still change my order to PCB mounted and I pay the difference

if you say generally thats the better option

i dont mind paying more

but if they cant do it before shipping than it should be fine as well as long as its compatible

[quiet bay]

not good enough!!!

[fluid ravine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hd1dKZd-TdA

[harsh dove]

Tbf I haven’t really had too much of an issue with plate mount once you tune them properly so it’s up to you

And you said you got TX AP and those have tight tolerances so you should be good honestly

[quiet bay]

only thing missing is polyfill

maybe I will actually just gut my pillow yeah... 🗿

[loud socket]

I see people with black and white wooting tags. Where can you find them?

[harsh dove]

Comes with the alumaze60 case from Wooting

[fluid ravine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAjcZQbhyo8 cmon mann

you gotta make this board

all stock foams + few layers of tape mod, kilmat mod, replaced stock stabs on Durock v2 (holee+hl), hand relubed switches

[quiet bay]

they want creamy build not thocky

also wth

bro isn't even typing on it

not the greatest sound test ngl

[fluid ravine]

its like deep as shit

[fluid ravine]

that is quite annoying now i think abt it

[quiet bay]

I dont think i even have the same switches

[fluid ravine]

im not telling you to build it rn

im saying like try to if you ever could cus youve been building a few gmk67 these days

im curious on how it would turn out from you

if it ever happens

[fluid ravine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3l4chHXxv8

[quiet bay]

Probably not xd

I would get like a more premium kit ngl

something budget but all premium like the Rainy75

Im only making gmk67s because its for my friends

they pay for it tho

[heady terrace]

gateron jades or raptors?

[paper bloom]

Ive hear people run Jades but not raptors

[quiet bay]

More people go for jades since they sound better imo

[heady terrace]

raptors came out before jades i believe

[paper bloom]

I see

[light hawk]

does anyone use the graveshift o rings for the 60HE? if so, small or medium sized and what hardness/color

[ancient bluff]

go #🪛│modding_faq gummy oring section

[fluid ravine]

M size

Hardness if your choice

30-50a is confirmed

[light hawk]

awesome thanks, found 55, think that should be fine enough too. all 50 were out of stock

[fluid ravine]

👍

[static tendon]

Late response to the sound review but I gotta be honest, I think the L60's still hold the top in this sound test. Next pick for me would be the Jades due to that clackier sound which I do like

[tawdry tree]

Yeah bummer, same for tactiles. Received mine last friday somehow. 😂🥲

[unkempt crystal]

Anyone knows how this product feels?

[idle pier]

anyone got tips to make stabs more responsive? my lshift key feels sluggish af

[midnight hornet]

Looks like the jade swiches have a discount right now on aliexpress if anyone wants them

[warm mirage]

Eyoo everyone, so I kinda made a mistake. I live in Finland and we have this stupid layout called ISO nordic, and all the keyboards i would like to buy are ofc in ansi. Same goes with keycaps and i might have accidentally bought ANSI keycaps. Now the question is, can you convert ISO to ANSI layout easily or is it straight impossible?

I've modded some keyboards and i allways see the other switch placements and i was wondering if it's the same for wooting 60he

[idle pier]

You got a link?

[stray tiger]

It's not going to be possible but talk to wooting about changing your order.

[quick gulch]

remove some lube I guess

[warm mirage]

I allready have the keyboard, but maybe ill ask about a pcb change, i dont think it's going to be possible though.

[obsidian dagger]

still in return period?

[old haven]

hello guys, i wanna build this keyboard as cheap as possible. are the random plastic gh60 cases compatible?

on aliexpress*

e.g.: https://t.ly/Yepu3

[light hawk]

did anyone lube the Jade switches and is it worth it? from what I heard factory lubed is quite good on these already

[median spade]

Yeah that will work

[median spade]

I opened up 5 of mine and lube is consistent so wouldn’t bother

Did 2 hand lube and no change against stock

[devout torrent]

I hand lubed didn’t make any real difference

[old haven]

@median spadethx alot 🤗

[median spade]

np

[stray tiger]

I pulled the trigger. Willing to risk it for that price and plan to build it on stream with the mystery keycaps and switches it comes with. Also grabbed two sets of GMK keycaps for $60 each

[fluid ravine]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

eeeee

Which oring are you using it for?

Burger mount or gummy mount?

#🪛│modding_faq check gummy oring

"Graveshift" and "Bakeneko"

I will get you the links give me a moment

[static tendon]

What case was this again?

[fluid ravine]

M size

[stray tiger]

Bakeneko 60 build. Not an HE board

[median spade]

I just tried the fricition mount on my freebird60 with 30a oring and was not expecting this much of a difference

hollowness is all gone now so that's cool

[fluid ravine]

whats the difference :)

[fluid ravine]

[median spade]

Finally found a use for the 30a oring that came with one of my other boards

[fluid ravine]

ayyyyyy

now get some polyfill

and fill that shi up

[median spade]

I would but my fjell will be here tomorrow so this the extent of what im trying

[fluid ravine]

turn that boi into a trampoline

[median spade]

also not sure if the faq for friction mount say sit bu ti had to take my plate foam out

[fluid ravine]

you could mount it with plate foam but its much harder to insert and take out

[stray tiger]

Taking it out is probably required if you're using the silicone pad but it's mainly dependent on your case tolerances/gaps.

[fluid ravine]

Yeah you cant mount it with silicone

cant compress and i think its really hard to wrap the oring around it

[stray tiger]

Leaving the foam in was fine for me in most cases but dont take out the corner switches with the o-ring still on or it'll push in the foam for sure.

[median spade]

Yea I was meaning the poron one as couldn't get it to even get in there

Question is how are you guys getting it out now

I've never done fricition mount on a case that doesn't support it, this this thing stuck in here lmao

[stray tiger]

Pull out two switches near the space bar and grab the plate and pull it up

30a might be too thick for the freebird and you might want to look into a 50a or close

[uneven ingot]

Anyone got unique aluminum cases under 100 or should i just buy the alumaze60?

[stray tiger]

Unique and under $100 likely isnt a thing. That being said the Aluimze is a great case

[median spade]

I'll try the 50a I have too

but that did indeed help me pull it out

[stray tiger]

I made a video about a year ago for how to remove it that way but I dont have it linked in the FAQ because I havent tested it with the PC plate. Not sure how much force it would take to break accidentally

[fluid ravine]

When i had the foam in
i took out the window key switch and the right ctrl switch
Yes my thumb and kinda hook those slots and pull up

take your time taking it out
like Pops said not really sure how much force it would take to break it

[idle pier]

it's not lubed (i didnt lube it at least

[fluid ravine]

sspam the key

you want the lube to break down

overtime, the more you use it the more smoother it gets

[idle pier]

oh thanks i didnt know about this at all

[fluid ravine]

Yepp all good
But if the lube gets mixed with grease (like dieletric grease) then its going to be really slugish so you might wanna wipe that off and reply the lube and grease properly

but since you didnt lube it or anything then yeah, just break it in

then you will be set

[idle pier]

maybe a problem i thought about

is since i'm used to iso

i'm pressing the key on the very left

like right where the left stem of the stab is

probably not helping either

[fluid ravine]

i dont understand

haha

which key specifically?

shift?

[idle pier]

yes, l shift

[fluid ravine]

Iso doesnt have a left shift modifier right?

[idle pier]

on iso l shift is like a regular key (almost)

1.25 or 1.5u i guess

[fluid ravine]

yeah so you need to get use to the left shift modifier then

Gl

[idle pier]

ty (i have big hands and its annoying)

[fluid ravine]

hm

[idle pier]

didnt think this would be an issue at all but makes a lot of sense now that i think about it

[fluid ravine]

idk if that is a benefit or not

haha

[idle pier]

for gaming? absolutely not

[fluid ravine]

W

I use my thumb to press left shift or ctrl 💀

pinky dont work

[devout torrent]

Wat

[fluid ravine]

horrible for me when typing and gaming

[idle pier]

wait what xdd

how the fuck

[fluid ravine]

my left pinky sticks up everytime i type

my right pinky works tho

here lemme show an example

[idle pier]

bro i feel sorry for you

ok i wont complain anymore lmao

[fluid ravine]

its fineeee haha

[fluid ravine]

i use my ring finger to hit shift during gaming i think

i dont remember

Yeah i press left shift with my ring finger when gaming

have to tilt the keeb like just a little bit

10 degrees or so i think

[harsh dove]

That’s awesome, lmk how the quality is , otherwise I’ll probably see you build it on stream

[fluid ravine]

lmao

[idle pier]

literally "pinky finger.exe stopped responding" lmao

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[idle pier]

its ok just go csgo pro mode and tilt it a full 90

[fluid ravine]

im good haha

my wrist cant do all that

[idle pier]

ye idk how they do it either

[fluid ravine]

i play 0 degrees flat or 10 degrees

[idle pier]

i have a pretty steep angle when playing but nowhere near that

[fluid ravine]

i switch with one or the other

when i feel like it

[harsh dove]

I tilt my keeb on all games basically

But I mainly play Tarkov

[idle pier]

mmmhh yeah actually my tilt isnt that big at all now that i'm on 60he

before on my full size kb i had to tilt it for space issues lmao

and still was less than suboptimal

[sweet oak]

Yeah i had to tilt my full size when i had a smaller desk

[slow idol]

anybody know if these would be too heavy for L45s? if someone maybe tried smth similar (aluminum)https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/kat-crusader-rama-gold_3147/

[bitter valve]

I wouldn’t support rama lol

[slow idol]

i never heard of em until today

is there something important im missing?

[formal comet]

if it's being sold from stock it's fine

if not.. don't

[bitter valve]

This

Otherwise there’s a bunch of posts in r/MechanicalKeyboards about rama

[slow idol]

ah, okay ill take a quick look, thanks

i want a golden or golden/black escape to go with the black alumaze60

im open for recommendations

any comments/experiences on the weight of the material and the l45s?

[formal comet]

if such a cap is too heavy for an L45 just stick an L60 under instead

[slow idol]

yea thought so too, got 2 spare 60s, but still then, not too heavy for l60? hope not

gonna have to try

[formal comet]

yeah that's gonna have to be a try it and see thing

[slow idol]

id love a wooting golden escape

[formal comet]

if it's still too heavy, which tbh I doubt, double the springs?

[slow idol]

i remember someone working with cnc from general chat

imma ask

[bitter valve]

Anyone has links(NA) to buy o-ring that’ll fit redux case?

[formal comet]

hm two springs in one housing is too much and it bottoms out on the spring instead of the actual bottom

[surreal rivet]

would this aluminum case work for the TwoHE?

https://www.monsgeek.com/product/m5/

first full-size aluminum case I could find..

[light hawk]

I was not expecting this much but after calculating everything I spent on modding the 60HE+ I came to a total of 525 USD incl shipping/tax for everything 😅

actually that is without the GMK keycaps, because I already owned them. so it's actually a lot more, oh well...

[azure basalt]

Hey guys.. Can you recommend any websites where i could buy cheap but actually not that bad keycaps.. im looking for something plain or japanese style

[median spade]

Aliexpress

[static tendon]

What is your build?

[hard sapphire]

i hear gateron jades are the way to go yes?

@fluid ravine what switches you got

[fluid ravine]

I have the l60's
Lubed and modded

[quiet bay]

Switch tape mod best for lekkers 👍

[heady terrace]

i have franken raptors rn is it worth buying jades?

[loud zephyr]

only if you dislike the frankenswitches, otherwise wait for more switches to enter the market

jades are good fwiw

[loud zephyr]

no third party will fit the 2HE unless you're willing to dust off some garage tools; even then I don't anyone has bothered to try

maybe this project u might like? #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[loud zephyr]

spoiler alert: you'll still be disappointed that neither have a 7u spacebar

[surreal rivet]

Thanks for the ping on this

any update on it? Would love to purchase if it's out already

[loud zephyr]

Np but I'm not sure, shoot him a dm

[median spade]

One day

Salvation was cost of tofu from kbdfans essentially so it can sound however it wants

[graceful pawn]

Take my money. I've been waiting for this and I'ma get the 80HE as well

work of art

[static tendon]

What exactly is the benefit of the 7U spacebar other than just being a little larger?

[agile grove]

thats about it

[static tendon]

lol

[rough quest]

Does the alumaze cased come with the 7.5 degree feet?

I cant find it in the box

[median spade]

Aesthetics and I like how it makes left alt closer for my thumb

There probably is a legit reason if you dive into the Cherry files as they have every reason on why they did things

[static tendon]

Are you talking about Winkeyless and 7U? Is there options to have 7u without winkeyless?

[willow bronze]

yes

[unkempt crystal]

what switches to make my keys less wobbly

[willow bronze]

switches with tighter housing. sometimes it's not just switches but many factors like your keycaps, plate, pcb

can also film your switches

[agile grove]

raptor HE or gateron magnetic jade switches are the most used rn

[unkempt crystal]

how much for full keyboard

[agile grove]

you would have to check for yourself

I think magnetic jade switches are $60 for 70

[unkempt crystal]

whats the differenmce between tehm

[agile grove]

the main difference between them is that the jades are closed bottom which lowers their travel distance to 3.5mm, after that it would be sound.

[stray tiger]

Damn I've been MIA most of the day. Got my new phone and it took me all day to get everything moved over and set up and I'm still not 100% done.

[agile grove]

what phone did you get?

[unkempt crystal]

so for performance jades?

[agile grove]

theres absolutely no performance differences

[unkempt crystal]

do u know if they come prelubed?

[agile grove]

yes they do

[stray tiger]

S24 Ultra. So far pretty amazing

[unkempt crystal]

do u know if this will work and actually will change smth https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQmj1Ep

[agile grove]

probably wouldnt work with the wooting, and the wooting PC plate comes with that included

[sullen salmon]

my pom plate came with no mounting points for the PCB??

https://customkbd.com/products/wooting-60he-pom-plate?_pos=1&_sid=d1feef541&_ss=r

how am I supposed to make the PCB and plate sit together

there's no screw mounts on the plate

am I supposed to like dual layer plates bro what it this 😭

[stray tiger]

You need a standoff kit

[sullen salmon]

😭

how do I get that

doesn't even mention needing one

[static tendon]

Is the stand off kit even necessary? Can't you just add the switches to the plate and use it as normal?

[stray tiger]

No because the switches don't attach to the PCB

And with a POM plate you definitely need them to reduce flex

[static tendon]

Hmm, then it's odd the company didn't include them along with the plate

[stray tiger]

Kbdfans makes the standoff kit. That company is just cutting plates

[static tendon]

I feel like I would've made a similar mistake. The site indeed didn't mention anything about the stand offs but again I didn't look into this plate as an option

[stray tiger]

Yeah thats shitty on their part. They sell standoffs on their site too but not the right size.

[median spade]

Yeah it’s called tsangan for not Wkl and using 7u

[fluid ravine]

Amazing phone

Dad got a S23 ultra

I have a S21 plus

Man I remember my dad having a Note 9 like idk how long
Like since forever

[stray tiger]

I still have a Note 9 in my drawer also lol

[fluid ravine]

[stray tiger]

Note 9, 20 and s24 side by side

[static tendon]

Just curious but any reason you're using the Bakeno60 over the wooting 60HE? I assume for the better typing feel or maybe just to change it up?

[stray tiger]

I'm not. Im just building a cheap non-HE board because Im a sucker for a good deal lol

[median spade]

also it comes with this hobby just to buy more boards, switches.... it never ends

[static tendon]

Valid reason I suppose 🤔

[stray tiger]

I thought it would be fun to build a $60 board and pair it with the mystery switches, case and kleycaps that come with it. never know how it will turn out

[static tendon]

I guess to also ask, what caps are those? love the color. GMK?

Oh nevermind, just saw that it came with it 😮

[stray tiger]

You get a random set of PBT keycaps with it so I wont know case color, switch type or keycap color until it arrives

I did buy 2 sets of GMK as well but that was just because it was a deal on a set I didnt have

[static tendon]

Interesting. RNG keyboard

[stray tiger]

Thats a great way to put it lol

If its pink or light purple or something Ill give it to my daughter or girlfriend

[static tendon]

Love pinks and light purple but that's a great way to pass it down

I used to rock a cotton candy themed keyboard

Still have it, just didn't like the plastic case and all. Otherwise I'd probably use it to this day

[dense token]

Are all the cases compatable with the wooting 60 as it is right now still going to work with the pcba version?

[fluid ravine]

Yes, all universal 60% like the GH60, DZ60, POKER, etc will work with the 60he+ just like how it would with the 60he.

[dense token]

cool thanks bro

[fluid ravine]

[devout torrent]

needs the full left half rubber set

nvm tthis doenst have tab and shit so wont be full

rip

[true patrol]

with regard to the "hobby never ends" comments: can confirm, I've built probably 20 total over the years and I currently have 10-11 and just ordered a neo80 kit

it genuinely never ends

[loud zephyr]

if you could only keep 1 or 2, which would they be?

[static tendon]

Curious as well

[true patrol]

probably frog mini and saka68 @static tendon @loud zephyr

if I gamed online more and wasn't 30 (losing reflexes, even if only a little bit) wooting might be one of them
It's all I use for gaming anymore, but if I'm being real with myself I'm not gonna reach the ceiling of where it'd matter

rocket league is all I stay truly competitive in now and I play that on pad, and in the last year and a half I've been making a huge push for myself to finish more singleplayer games

[terse quail]

Anyone know where I could find some cool budget friendly keycaps?

I wanna get some nice keycaps for my Wooting 2 I ordered today

[gloomy stratus]

aliexpress tbh, just make sure they're double shot pbt

[crimson sky]

great way to get dogshit keycaps

[gloomy stratus]

nah i got great keycaps off aliexpress

[crimson sky]

I meant the doubleshot PBT part

[gloomy stratus]

how?

[crimson sky]

pretty hard to do

and basically nobody does it properly

[gloomy stratus]

i guess if you're a purist, but as long as it's similar it's way better than a standard keycaps

anyways, i have a question, how does gummy o ring hardness affect sound?

[crimson sky]

not super much

[crimson sky]

whatever "standard" is

[obtuse mason]

do you guys prefer the foam or the silicone between the pcb and the plate in the 60he+?

[verbal whale]

that is standard (must be as yellow as this screen, white at the time of purchase)

😄

[marble shuttle]

foam bro

[obtuse mason]

@marble shuttle is it more thocky?

[marble shuttle]

yeah

iam sure you will like more than slicone

[obtuse mason]

thanks bro!

[marble shuttle]

your welcome brother

[crimson sky]

neither

[obtuse mason]

@crimson sky then what ?

[crimson sky]

nothing

I don't use foam in my boards

[crimson sky]

not an issue with a decent vendor

also "is it worth it" depends on how much you pay

dunno where you are located or what you wanna buy lol

[edgy tangle]

I’m not sure if anyone can provide advice I’m not entirely sure what I need in order to switch my switches to magnetic jades on my wooting, by that I mean like what tools would I need? I’ve heard I’d have to remove the plate or I can swap them out. Anyone have advice?

[agile grove]

all you need is a screwdriver (PH1), a switch puller, and the switches

[void hollow]

any new switches yet?

[void hollow]

i just remove my switches without unscrewing anything

[devout torrent]

same

[agile grove]

you could do that but it can be a little harder

[wet hazel]

Few HE switches appeared on Ali, but no confirmed compatibility

[devout torrent]

works in wooting

[wet hazel]

And maybe those Gateron's are 1.0,but it says new arrival xd

[devout torrent]

the latenpow straberry is a geon raptor re-color

[wet hazel]

Ah lol, didn't know

[devout torrent]

japanese community has gottne their hands on it

and they look just like the raptors as far as they can tell

and they have tested in wooting

they are prettey much the hceapest HE switches you can get

[wet hazel]

Modding_faq needs an update related to that it seems

[devout torrent]

https://fxtwitter.com/aneno_ow/status/1751923438091223456

OTM swithces also work

but you havec t to reverse the magnet

this guy has tested theem as well

cheapest switch but stem wobble is fair to bad according to this user

you can stem swap with lekkers

The outemu ones

[devout torrent]

yeah the strawberry is 18 usd

for 70

[void hollow]

welp i swapped back to the stock wooting screw-in stabs

since the tx-ap were putting too much stress onto my fr4 plate

made it sound clacky instead of thocky, but honestly both stabs perform pretty much just as well

if not the wooting screw-ins feel even better

[agile grove]

I think they're prelubed

[rustic yacht]

im just waiting for the gateron jades and the black PC-Plate.... than im done ❤️

[edgy tangle]

Thank you!!! Do you recommend any specific screwdriver?

[void hollow]

im using xiaomi's one

[agile grove]

not really, just make sure that its somewhat small to fit into the screw holes

[void hollow]

magnetic swappable bits

[high nymph]

where did you get those key caps from? I have the same in ENSI, but couldn't find ISO standart

[void hollow]

ratchet

[rustic yacht]

amazon

[agile grove]

dont use the little tech repair screwdrivers tho, those dont have enough torque

[edgy tangle]

Ty I’ll try to look around 🙂

[void hollow]

i think those work fine too if u arent too picky about it, kbdfans provided it i think xD

but yeah ur right, something bigger works better

just not something too big that you'll end up scratching stuff like me

[agile grove]

yeah but personally I've had issues with them not being able to unscrew certain screws and im afraid they're gonna strip the screw

it just requires a lot more force

[void hollow]

and to my experience, ratchet screwdrivers are useless too

i just end up setting it as a normal screwdriver

[edgy tangle]

Is there a common mistake I should know about 🥲

When it comes to swapping switches?

[normal schooner]

use a switch puller and not your nails

looking at someone right now

👀

[median spade]

I saw the sarokeys and was like let's goooo

but realized that's just a normal switch lmao

[wet hazel]

You can try it if you have a normal keyboard besides the wooting, but yeah hype disappeared lol

[median spade]

Yeah I have some strawberry wines so thats' why i got hype

[harsh dove]

they look like the regular ks-20 whites

[light hawk]

tofu60 redux, tx ap long pole stabs, jade switches, custom cable, og wrist rest, oring mount, kbd switch/stabs pads, gmk modo2 keycaps

had to order from 4 different places so shipping cost was high overall

any recommendations on custom numb pads that go well with a tofu60 redux case used for the 60he?

Colour matching it is hard. I went the pricier route and bought into the zoompad group buy a while back

[terse quail]

Aw man rip

[peak geode]

are those gareron jades?

[hard sapphire]

yeah look at file name

are they hand lubed though?

[median spade]

stock

i hand lubed 10 of them and it made no perceptible difference

the stock lube is really consistent

[hard sapphire]

what about films?

[median spade]

Films don't do much on hall effect tbh

housing on the jades tight af as is tho so would be a task getting them on and closed

[hard sapphire]

hmm I see

[median spade]

hall effect, outside lube depending, are in the camp of not much changes them currently

for the switch itself

main things we do know is the closed bottom from jades, and tighter tolerances being big thing

but some lube on the rails,a nd that's it really since they're no contact otherwise

[hard sapphire]

I ordered pre lubed/filmed jades so guess I wasted my money oh well

[harsh dove]

Very nice!

[harsh dove]

Sebastian tell you to send photos of what you got ?

Kinda surprised they want me to ship it back

Even tho I offered to anyway

[mental salmon]

I had already sent a picture based on Mansen suggestion

[harsh dove]

Ah okay

They ask you to ship it back too?

[mental salmon]

If I wanted a refund, but I do not wanted a refund, but that will not work for me, as I already received everything in my country after consolidating everything in the US (Alumaze, PC plates, dielectric grease, tape, etc), as usual let’s see how that evolves

[harsh dove]

Weird

I didn’t ask for refund either

And the one they sent me isn’t technically defective either lol

Unless they forgot to paint it black

[old swallow]

yeah, thats confusing

[harsh dove]

Yeah just a bit

[mental salmon]

Please share a picture when you receive the black PC plate

[old swallow]

shipping cost will be more then the PC player

[harsh dove]

I will

[old swallow]

has anyone gotten the black plate yet?

[mental salmon]

At this point I would rather to get credit in the store and wait for new items to be released, because I still need to consolidate and pay for another shipment from the US

[harsh dove]

I think a couple people here have

[mental salmon]

CAM is the patient zero

[harsh dove]

lol I wouldn’t mind a store credit tbh

Yeah I feel like I was first to order it tbh

But because of the mishap

I have to wait longer

Warehouse bro probs saw my order and was like “Black PC Plate”?
“Never heard of such thing.”
proceeds to shove white pc plate in packaging

[old swallow]

the box is black? probably fine

[tawdry tree]

A while

[mental salmon]

I heard about the black PC plate here, I believe they did not even announce the release in social media

[tawdry tree]

It’s the same box it just says black pc on the back

[harsh dove]

It was kind of announced on the Wooting80HE discord livestream

[old swallow]

haha same, i saw the post cam made saying something like letsgooo black pc plate, and then the next one with uuuuuuuuh. thats not black

[harsh dove]

More like it was forgotten but we won’t talk about that lol

[uncut musk]

module by the end of the week 🤞

[harsh dove]

Noice

Yeah I might get my module next week looks like

[old swallow]

you havent gotten it yet?

[harsh dove]

Nah , NA Clouds

[old swallow]

didnt you order right away?

[uncut musk]

cam na

[harsh dove]

Yes I did

And expedited

[old swallow]

oh huh, figured those would be delivered rn

[uncut musk]

nope

[harsh dove]

Nah NA just got to warehouse

[old swallow]

theyre still in stock, if i order now i could probably get another before you get yours haha

[harsh dove]

EU was first

[polar girder]

NA-Cloud

Yeah I got that black PC plate delay I guess ooo

[old swallow]

ooh

[polar girder]

All good

[peak geode]

cloud here too

[harsh dove]

Should’ve ordered separately

[old swallow]

i could order another one and get it tommorow or the day after

[harsh dove]

For those of you with Feb 2-7th you only ordered module right? Nothing else

[peak geode]

nope

[uncut musk]

module switches is all

[peak geode]

that was my order

[harsh dove]

Wow

Surprised you’re getting yours that soon with all of that

[peak geode]

yee

[harsh dove]

Usually they send module only orders first

From my understanding

[sage mirage]

i have the cable and case and lube

[harsh dove]

Gotcha, everything must be arriving around the same time then to the warehouse

[sage mirage]

the wrist rest pissed me off that it wasn't a exact fit for the alunimum case

[harsh dove]

lol yeah it’s slightly off

[uncut musk]

I confirmed my address like within 5 mins of it being announced

perfect for redux tho

lol

[mental salmon]

I use a Wooting TKL wrist rest 😁

[harsh dove]

It doesn’t fit salvation either

But I don’t mind

[polar girder]

Same

[polar girder]

Common redux W

[old swallow]

it fits the redux perfectly on the other hand, height and width are perfect

[sage mirage]

i won't buy the wrist rest for the wooting case but may buy it later for the tofu 60 casue its perfect for it LOL a thrid party fit better than there own

[harsh dove]

The more and more I hear and see redux

It makes me want an Fjell

[uncut musk]

lol

[polar girder]

Redux redux redux

lol jk

[harsh dove]

lol

[uncut musk]

i liked the fjell

[old swallow]

REDUX REDUX

[uncut musk]

just

uh

[polar girder]

But yeah dude. I also want a Fjell

So nice

[harsh dove]

Well that and seeing Tirades clone but not a clone of the Fjell looked real nice last night too

[sage mirage]

i was thinking of building another after my first of a red gold and black tofu wooting build

[harsh dove]

Yeah, rn I have an extra PCB with no case

[old swallow]

oh no, now you have a reason to build another board

[harsh dove]

Exactly lol

[sage mirage]

like this

https://kbdfans.com/collections/tofu60-2-0/products/tofu60-2-0?variant=41382653657227

[harsh dove]

It’s the avocado hotswap PCB from salvun

[sage mirage]

https://drop.com/buy/drop-redsuns-gmk-red-samurai-custom-keycap-set?defaultSelectionIds=973730

the burgandy rred tofu with this key cap would look sick

[light hawk]

I see, for me shape is more important. color matching should be possible as I got the white version

[harsh dove]

It would but I feel like I see a lot of people do this with the red or blue GMK samurai’s

[peak geode]

just orders some gateron jades too 🙂

[copper pulsar]

good build but basic

[peak geode]

ordered**

[copper pulsar]

gmk samurai’s are very overused imo

[polar girder]

I missed it. I’ll have to look

[old swallow]

i was originally gonna do Burgundy Redux with Red Samurai

[harsh dove]

Nice, don’t buy long pole stabs

[light hawk]

nice, my jades got shipped today haha

[old swallow]

glad i changed it

[polar girder]

I have enough going on tho

[harsh dove]

Agreed

[sage mirage]

looks good though i already have a build going on though

[peak geode]

didnt plan to, i heard it should be okay

[light hawk]

hopefully I get everything by end of week

[harsh dove]

It is okay

[polar girder]

Got this module rebuild. M3K PCB mod kit. Then Saturn pro

Time to chill for a bit lol

[harsh dove]

I just feel like GMK samurai is overused

Otherwise it’s a nice set

[old swallow]

yeah, so overused, so i went with WOB

[harsh dove]

It’s like an iPhone tho

Everyone has one

[uncut musk]

whenever gmk changes their packaging ill buy a set

[harsh dove]

Back to OG plastic?

[polar girder]

Yeah I kinda want Fjell and aluminum blanks

[old swallow]

PBTfans on top with the packaging

[sage mirage]

i went with is plus the gray alunimum wooting case https://spkeyboards.com/collections/midnight-keycap-set

[polar girder]

Realized I can tell the keys by the light from RGB

[light hawk]

I heard the original Wooting keycaps sound better than most other ones incl. GMK, is this still true on custom cases or mainly just affects the stock case?

[copper pulsar]

idk personally i feel like the maroon redux looks better with contrast

[old swallow]

sheesh

thats nice

[halcyon obsidian]

I don't like abs so I probably won't get another gmk set

[copper pulsar]

the maroon case with the maroon samurai just doesn’t really have enough color differentiation in my opinion

if i did buy a maroon or red set

these two sets would probably be something i’d use

[light hawk]

the 3 different hues of red would freak me out ngl

[old swallow]

i wouldnt use the esc with that

2 reds is fine tho

[copper pulsar]

it’s really preference, i like contrast in my builds, colors that contrast but compliment eachother

[copper pulsar]

i wouldn’t either, i like the keycap set though

the escape key stands out too much

it looks more pink than red

[old swallow]

you want it to compliment eachother yeah, but that just doesnt go

[light hawk]

yeah but thats not contrast nor complementary 😄

it's just slightly different hues

each their own, no offense 🙂

[copper pulsar]

i’m referring to the keycap sets themselves

this is a tofu60 2.0 which i believe they offered in a red

the keycaps themselves, i’d use for my maroon redux.

is what i’m referring to

this build itself no, the keycap set yes

[old swallow]

fair enough
