Got it, it feels so off to me. Your 0.15 is even lower than my 0.4 actuation

[harsh dove]

Affects running and jumping in some games for some people

[static tendon]

This is gonna take me months to get used to

[harsh dove]

I never had an issue

[static tendon]

What games do you typically play?

[harsh dove]

Tarkov

[static tendon]

Like WASD movement type games or do you typically press more buttons?

Got it

[harsh dove]

Tarkov is my main FPS, then I play a bunch of other games

[static tendon]

Editing, running, switching to builds in fortnite feels very weird. Gonna take me a while to familiarize myself with it

[harsh dove]

Yeah, takes a bit

like two weeks at most

[static tendon]

I got to unreal this season and there isn't a slight chance I can hit that again with this module. At least not right now

Yeah I can see that. Huge learning curve for me

I keep finger mashing keys. I even turned my Ctrl key to have 2.0 mm actuation cause I hit it so often. The other keys not as bad

[tawdry tree]

Rapid trigger wasn’t that much of a learning curve for me, maybe lower your actuation a bit?

[harsh dove]

Lmao idk what I did to my module but I broke the tachyon mode

and now I fixed it

[static tendon]

Naw, I need to force myself to use it. No better way to get used to it than to use it every time

It's all part of the fun

[tawdry tree]

😅 not wrong.

[harsh dove]

I must've changed some setting that I didn't notice cause whenever I enabled Tachyon mode, only my QWASZ123 and Left shift key would work

No other keys would work

If I disabled it, everything fine

So I reset all settings and now its fine again

lol

and I'm using the same cable

Nothing has changed

[static tendon]

Actually I realized my Tachyon mode is on low brightness. I have a weak cable. That's actually a bummer. It's a straight cable too

But actually I am using an extension usb piece for it

[tawdry tree]

Something to do with the set actuation point maybe? I’ve never heard of this 😂😂

[harsh dove]

i've never heard of this either lmao

I thought maybe I was in some function layer

but not that I could see

Either way a full reset fixed it

[tawdry tree]

Alright

[stray tiger]

I stopped watching had to go get the grandbaby from the airport

[harsh dove]

No worries

I feel like I share most of the same opinions as Alex on that board

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/excited-cute-dance-gif-13630504

cute grandbaby

[stray tiger]

6 months old and the doctors have said he is on track to be 7' tall...

[harsh dove]

Jeez sounds like me

How big was he when he was born?

[harsh dove]

(My docs said 6'7")

[stray tiger]

Normal size but he is growing like a tree. Mom is 6'0 and Dad is 6'5 so we knew he would be tell but not 7' lol

[harsh dove]

Oh okay, yeah damn

I didn't end up being 6'7" but close

6'3"

tbf they said possibly 6'9"

and I was 10.5 lbs and 24" when I was born

[stray tiger]

I used to be 6'1 but gravity has shrunk me an inch lol

[harsh dove]

not normal size lol

[stray tiger]

Damn I hope your mom recovered

[harsh dove]

Lol yeah

[median spade]

all you tall mfers

must be nice

[harsh dove]

I remember I was like 6 mo old tho and she was taking me to day care and lady goes "Put that boy down and let him walk!!" and my mom goes " He's only 6 months old!!!"

Lady was like "oh im so sorry here gimme him"

[harsh dove]

Not really

Everyone ask you do everything

if it up high

[median spade]

I would take it

worth

[harsh dove]

"Cam, can you come grab this down for me"

Ends on 4/20

[uncut musk]

@fluid ravine im guessing if the stem doesnt return exactly back to the original position i fucked smth up

[fluid ravine]

for-

[stray tiger]

I had the 60% and had the 60HE in it for a while but ended up selling it

[harsh dove]

Oh okay nice, yeah I won't be buying one but seems pretty cool

comes with 3 plates and milmax pcb

[uncut musk]

the switch tape mod :), it seems like the stem is slightly lower than without the tape

[median spade]

milmaxxed pcb

interesting

[harsh dove]

yeah from factory

[median spade]

idk why you wouldn't just do kailh at that point but cool nonetheless

[fluid ravine]

yeah if the stem doesn't return all the way then its not pressed down all the way

[median spade]

when can we expect someone to make pre made strips for the switch tape mod

make our lives easier

[harsh dove]

Don't think it's a common enough mod yet

[median spade]

I like modding but the th ought of spending 6 hours on cutting pieces of tape is just too much

[harsh dove]

Lol yeah

Now that we have new switches

I'd honestly say it's better to just buy new switches than it is to switch tape mod

[median spade]

I still need to spring swap jades, but that requires me opening my lekkers too again

[stray tiger]

baldr60 glass

[harsh dove]

Yeah I got some modding to do but I'll hold it off for tomorrow when I'm refreshed and rested

[median spade]

that baldr60 do be looking good

no you gotta mod into the wee hours of the night

get bloodshot eyes, back hurting, etc

[harsh dove]

Lmao tbf

that's usually when I mod

like 2 am

[median spade]

I can relate that's why I said that

some nights desoldering a pcb at 3am

[harsh dove]

Basically

[mental salmon]

Still taller than me 😅

[quiet bay]

most switches aren't this bad in wobble

[static tendon]

Currently using a wooting cable but I'm still unable to use 100% brightness when Tachyon mode is enabled. Anyone have any clues why?

[harsh dove]

Right which is why I don't see a brand making a kit for switch tape mod

[median spade]

remember gf would come out to garage and be like "got another 2 hours out here don't you?" at like midnight and she would sadly be right

[harsh dove]

Especially since the kit would be for HE Switches only really

[stray tiger]

They reduced the ability to do 100% brightness and tachyon to prevent users with bad cables having issues I believe.

[static tendon]

Got it, bummer

[mental salmon]

@quiet bay I will film the l60s during the weekend, have 0.15mm and 0.125mm films

[static tendon]

I remember hearing it can do 100% brightness depending on the cable

[quiet bay]

good luck

[harsh dove]

Did you click the unlock icon?

[median spade]

don't bother filming unless you hate yourself

did it on my l60 and raptors

absolute waste @mental salmon

[harsh dove]

I personally don't like films

I avoid them

lol

[quiet bay]

Only good for tightening the top housing overall 🤷‍♂️

[stray tiger]

I agree that filming them is a waste of time and money

[harsh dove]

yeah

[median spade]

Films are good on mx stuff for increassing top housing

but on HE it did jack all i felt like

[tawdry tree]

You can probably find painter’s tape on a roll thin enough to do the mod with.

[quiet bay]

I found that it made my switches clackier so

[mental salmon]

Now I received them I wanted to test then anyway, maybe not in all switches

[static tendon]

I did not but I do see this option now

[uncut musk]

for example

[harsh dove]

try that

[median spade]

Yeah I ahve some 2mm super thing tape for force break mod

but even then would be a hassle

[harsh dove]

This is common until you break it in

[uncut musk]

oh okay

[quiet bay]

yuh 👍

happens with switch tape mod

you can see that some keycaps are higher than others

and some are lower

[static tendon]

Yeah it should work. Thank you

[quiet bay]

but once they're broken in they're on equal footing 👍

[fluid ravine]

this looks fine

[harsh dove]

Make sure you lube the tape

on the inside of the top housing

[uncut musk]

yeah

[harsh dove]

Nice

[quiet bay]

yeah it's recommended to lube the tape

[uncut musk]

yeah nah im trying to stick as close to the guide as possible lmao

okie

its a long process, but ive found a good way to make it easier

for myself

[median spade]

imagine a world where HE switches were as good as MX and we didn't have to do this BS

[uncut musk]

some people just get jades, but no

i

embrace the

[median spade]

I have jades and they still have some of that HE sound to them so dont' worry

[harsh dove]

Masochism

[mental salmon]

With all the market exploding this year that can happen sooner than we expect

[median spade]

they are better for sure, but the HE rattle sound is unavoidable it seems

just lessened a lot on jades

I think they just need to add more contact points

i know it won't be as smooth that way and will require more lube but still

just want my HE switches to sound full and not rattly

[harsh dove]

Well when I get these Dual Rails

I'll let you know

[quiet bay]

if wooting invents some way to remove most of the wobble without sacrificing performance or smoothness that'd be a gamechanger

[median spade]

[mental salmon]

Did you already order them or are they in process to be released?

[harsh dove]

Already on the way brother

[median spade]

where does mechkeys ship from

always wondered

[harsh dove]

Africa

[median spade]

really?

[harsh dove]

No

[median spade]

NOthing in this hobby surprises me so i was expecting it to be partly true

like south africa

[harsh dove]

Hahaha

[median spade]

oh they're just china it looks like

[harsh dove]

Yep

[median spade]

good old yunexpress

some highway robbery on these switche

some of them at least

$80 for 70 jades

[harsh dove]

Same price as jades

Oh was $65 for me

[mental salmon]

While generally speaking filming does not seem to be good, have the tape mod (not switches but pbca) have been good for you? I am waiting for blue tape

[median spade]

idk if this is acurrency thing

but yeah

[harsh dove]

Tf

From which site?

[tawdry tree]

Fair. Tape mod is only for lose switches though, so if all switches are tight there’s no need for it. 🤞

[median spade]

this is mechkeys

[harsh dove]

What the price for you on Gateron?

[median spade]

I paid $62.25 from gateron

all said and done

[harsh dove]

Yeah sounds correct

[tawdry tree]

$80 is crazy

[harsh dove]

Why $79.99 on mechkeys tho

That’s crazy

[tawdry tree]

that ain’t even with shipping 🤣

[mental salmon]

Profit

[harsh dove]

They tryna profit $1 per switch or what?

[tawdry tree]

Ali has them for nearly half

[mental salmon]

Not all people have good advice as here

[harsh dove]

Lmao

[tawdry tree]

I got mine for €48

[median spade]

https://mechkeys.com/collections/switches/products/gateron-magnetic-jade-switch?variant=44678521716959

[mental salmon]

I definitely not buying new switches until wooting 2.0 lekkers or something, but keycaps… difficult to resist

[median spade]

yeah look at this scam lol

[harsh dove]

From Gateron

[median spade]

yeah that was same as mine

[harsh dove]

Okay

[median spade]

shipping was $6

[harsh dove]

Wild

[median spade]

if you US now tho zkeebs is wher eit's at

[tawdry tree]

I’m telling you nan, I’m 95% sure Lekker V2s are gonna be 20Us.

but we’ll see

[tawdry tree]

man*

[mental salmon]

Lets see how it goes

[harsh dove]

I’m saving money for Wootings future

[median spade]

We'll get good sounding HE switches when other brands start making them and im not even kidding

[harsh dove]

I’ve been told by the wooting gods

[median spade]

gateron just booty even after all this time imo

[harsh dove]

To save

[median spade]

soon as bsun, cherry, jwk, etc make HE they will sound better

[tawdry tree]

I’m surprised cherry hasn’t made a magnetic switch

[median spade]

it's cherry man

[tawdry tree]

😂😂

[median spade]

they'll do it in 5 years when HE has improved and it's old news

then they'll release them

also will have aton of scratch of course

I have mx blacks in all my customs but cherry meme for innovation

[tawdry tree]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[median spade]

remember when we didn't know what hyperglides were going to be and they talked all this game about it being something new

and then it was a gold spring is all

[mental salmon]

They bought Xtrfy, but then the game changed with the HE

[median spade]

mx2a are somewhat different at least

[tawdry tree]

Wasn’t that after first HE board released?

[uncut musk]

def a difference

[tawdry tree]

HE in gaming is what, 7 years old now?

[median spade]

sounds way better

only 8 more hours to go i believe in you

[polar girder]

What did you do?

But all exploded with the 60HE

[harsh dove]

Yeah Wooting is the Pioneer

[median spade]

that's cause 60he is that good good

[tawdry tree]

Eh, Steelseries I’d say.

[harsh dove]

True Steelseries

but fkkkkkkk their software

omg

[median spade]

@quiet bay did you also end up doing the switch tape

[quiet bay]

yeah

I've had it for a while

[median spade]

no wonder yours does not sound rattly

[tawdry tree]

Imagine having all the advantages to you and you just go to sleep and stop innovating.

[harsh dove]

I did too on my L60s

[harsh dove]

Basically

[median spade]

nice

tempting but also

how long did it take you both

[harsh dove]

I think it was like 5 hrs

maybe longer

[median spade]

and you use jades now instead I think that will keep me at bay

[uncut musk]

my backspace actually sounds so interesting

[quiet bay]

uhh like 6 hours

[median spade]

[polar girder]

That’s the only difference? Just switch tape mod?

[uncut musk]

yeah

lol

with lube on the tape

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s crazy

Nice

[quiet bay]

the terrible rattly sound comes with the amount of wobble the stem has

so switch tape mod basically makes it tighter

[uncut musk]

yeah

[harsh dove]

https://omnitype.com/products/gmk-symbiote-keycap-set

[uncut musk]

before i commit to doing the other 50 im waiting till my ten raptors get here

[harsh dove]

Can't remember who was looking for purple keycaps

but I like this set

[uncut musk]

Me

139 😭

nvm

134

[harsh dove]

I'm a GMK Rat sorry

[uncut musk]

they are sick

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[uncut musk]

Once i get hired gmk caps will be mine

[median spade]

fml might be trying this tomorrow

6 hours tho

[quiet bay]

Good Luck

[median spade]

[quiet bay]

I would put on a movie or series to watch

[median spade]

I like to do it in silence to remind myself im still living

[harsh dove]

I usually throw a stream or podcast up

[median spade]

just me, alone with my thoughts, and switch tape modding

[harsh dove]

I only do that when I'm working out lol

Silence

[quiet bay]

and thinking deeply...
"wtf am I doing with my life rn?"

[median spade]

now you are a mad lad for that

maybe if there wasn't others at the gym i would

and not terrible music over head

[median spade]

me everytime i do keyboard modding

since 2019

"oh man lubing these switches took me 8 hours and I'm never going to do that again"

10,000+ switches later....

[harsh dove]

Lol it's just a lil concept of we use music and stuff for motivation so what do you do when the music isn't there, aka how do you motivate yourself with no external sources

[median spade]

i can dig it

I just use music to not have to hear the terrible music at my gym

[harsh dove]

Nah I feel that lmao

[median spade]

would prefer sound of grunts and out of breathe people over music

[tawdry tree]

I can’t do that for things I don’t enjoy doing, I lose focus in a sec if I’m alone in my head 😂

[uncut musk]

fucking ill just do the rest of them tmr

fuck it

[median spade]

i see the process already got to you understandably

[harsh dove]

Lol that's the whole point! haha how do you motivate yourself when doing something you don't wanna do

Without external sources

It's all in the head

[uncut musk]

i gaslight myself into thinking i enjoy it

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, I respect it. I just do everything with music honestly. 😂

[harsh dove]

Lol I usually do too, I love music

It's just one of those challenges for myself

[median spade]

alright cam do I do the tape mod and is it worth it over just using the jades

that is the question

[harsh dove]

I wanna say hell no

but

Nah im lying to myself

Get Jades

[median spade]

Oh well im typing on them rn lol

but they still have that slight HE rattle to them

maybe i try one small layer on these

[harsh dove]

Sorry, Use Jades*

[tawdry tree]

“HE rattle” lmfao

[median spade]

idk how else to describe it

[harsh dove]

GewaltofRivia did one layer tape mod on his Jades

[median spade]

it sounds like something loose

[tawdry tree]

KS-20s have set a terrible standard for switches 😂

[median spade]

hmm

swap springs and one layer of tape perhaps

[tawdry tree]

Yeah I know exactly what you mean, HE rattle sounds funny to me tho

[median spade]

LIke here is all the switches i have on hand and they all got it #🔧│keyboard_modding message

Kind of sounds like raptors have it least here listening again

[tawdry tree]

Jades with raptor top housing would be insane if they fit. 🥲

[median spade]

maybe the l60 in raptor

actually

[harsh dove]

Only if stem swapped

but then you get the friction feel

which I hate

[median spade]

yeah mine were pretty loose after 3 weeks

wonder how they woudl fair again

[harsh dove]

Stock Raptors have same wobble as Lekkers imo

[median spade]

well not loose but better

[harsh dove]

Or at least similar

[median spade]

yeah i would agree

[polar girder]

Yeah same type of wobble. Not to same degree tho

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[halcyon obsidian]

eta on my module is monday

[fluid ravine]

I took my time and did it in 2 days

1 day for the alphas

and the other for the keys on the outside

[vast estuary]

do i need to lube the stabs on the 60he+ module?

[tawdry tree]

Tune rather than lube, they come with plenty lube stock but if they still rattle you can tune them.

[vast estuary]

ok thank you!

[tawdry tree]

👍

[wet trench]

Now gotta hope the colors aren't too off from the mousepad thats coming in later

[sullen salmon]

custom wooting with wooden case and jade switches. all lubed and a butt ton of polyfill

phone audio doesnt do it justice unfortunately and stabs still need to be updated with tx long poles coming in but pretty good for now

but im pretty happy with it

i also have a black tofu redux case for when i get bored

[harsh dove]

Just to let you know, you don't need long pole stabs unless you're having issues with the keycaps, mainly the spacebar if you push on one end

[sullen salmon]

i do a little bit

[agile grove]

tbh I really wouldnt recommend getting TX AP long pole stabs until the mystery of stabs not fitting is solved

cuz rn people are having issues

[sullen salmon]

ill be fine

ill jus waste my money on some new stabs if tx long poles dont work either :D

or just mod my wooting stabs more since i only jus lubed them

but yeah im supper happy with the more or less finished product

[agile grove]

just tune the stock stabs, there really isnt a difference between TX AP and the stock ones in terms of sound

[harsh dove]

Yeah they're the same sound, AP just requires less tuning usually

[sullen salmon]

yeah ill try that

heres the same build with l45s and cerakeys to compare

[agile grove]

I would tune them but I dont have a syringe

[sullen salmon]

so much chatter

polyfill just a blessing fr, put some in my gfs board and it sounds a lot better now too

[vast estuary]

do i need to put any of the standoffs in for the tofu redux 60 and the wooting 60he+ module

[uncut musk]

you can use a stand off close to where the spacebar would be but I only screwed in 4 screws into the 2 holes on the left and the 2 on the right

[sullen salmon]

use the standoffs

the redux comes with them

the middle one and the one to the right of the spacebar

the 2 on either side of the indent are obviously just for the weight so ignore those

very easy to install too

HOWEVER id recommend gummy o ring mounting anyway where you dont need any screws at all anyway

[kindred locust]

what are they called

those pop up for me as o rings

[sullen salmon]

what country are you from?

ill find you one from a local vendor

[kindred locust]

ohh

i see

[sullen salmon]

since its kind of weird in terms of searching for one

[kindred locust]

it goes around the pcb thing right

[sullen salmon]

yep

between the pcb and the plate

where the plate foam sits

[kindred locust]

i thought you were talking about the push down clips for the standoffs LOL

that would be op

[sullen salmon]

wdym?

like a burger mount?

[kindred locust]

there’s these push down clips

no

there’s instead of screws

[sullen salmon]

show

[kindred locust]

its push pins

ok

@sullen salmon

[sullen salmon]

oooooohh hahaha

[kindred locust]

yea

my bad

[sullen salmon]

i cant imagine that working too well hahaha

[kindred locust]

you said no screws so i thought about this

[sullen salmon]

yeah no screws just mount it with the gummy o ring

[kindred locust]

https://thockpop.com/product/gasket-o-ring-gummy-mount-30a/

this work?

something like that

[sullen salmon]

yep

thatll be fine

[kindred locust]

thanks man

[sullen salmon]

i would also recommend getting some polyfill, just a little amount, to replace the foam

it sounds a lot better

much deeper

[kindred locust]

oo alright

[sullen salmon]

probably one of the best decisions i made other than getting jade switches

[kindred locust]

wait how would you put poly fill in the keyboard

[kindred locust]

are jades the best sounding and do they preform the same?

[sullen salmon]

simply just place it inside

[kindred locust]

and cut ?

the ends

[sullen salmon]

you can jus tear it off

wdym

[kindred locust]

polyfill is like stuffing

[sullen salmon]

best sounding as of now and yes they perform the same

yes it is

[kindred locust]

oo alr

lemme hear how urs sounds

i’m interested

[sullen salmon]

.

[upper tusk]

Can i change everything on the switch and just keep the stems?

[kindred locust]

where did you get the jades

[sullen salmon]

off the gateron website

[sullen salmon]

like the housing and spring?

are you referring to frankensteining the raptors and the lekkers?

[upper tusk]

Yeah

[kindred locust]

bet

[upper tusk]

Might look into different than the raptors

[sullen salmon]

id recommend jades if you had the budget

jades are the go to right now

[kindred locust]

what’s better raptors or jades

[sullen salmon]

jades

easy

[kindred locust]

why

[sullen salmon]

raptors are better than lekkers however jades are just the best switch available in terms of HE

[upper tusk]

Does jades have a normal stems or is it the same as lekkers

[sullen salmon]

closed bottom housing, tighter housings, better tolerances

[kindred locust]

oh ok

[sullen salmon]

it has the same stem as the lekkers however it fits its housing better

same stem design at least

[upper tusk]

I want the top housing of the milky yellow so bad

[sullen salmon]

why?

[upper tusk]

I want to make a thocky sound

[sullen salmon]

top housing isnt the only thing in terms of sound

the jade are the thockiest as of now

[upper tusk]

I dont like how it sounds right now even with tape mod and stuff

[sullen salmon]

HE isn't the best switch for any sort of acoustic based board tho

[upper tusk]

I havent heard the jades

[sullen salmon]

youd have to go for a standard mx for thockier

[sullen salmon]

.

there you go

i did a whole lot more than just jades tho so it wont sound exactly like this

[upper tusk]

Oh damn there is almost none of the plasticky sound that the lekkers are making

[sullen salmon]

yup

[upper tusk]

What did you do film lube switches and holee mod tape mod?

And foam

[sullen salmon]

from what ive seen the plasticky noise from lekkers is caused by 2 things. obviously first the switch itself + if you dont hand lube it yourself. 2 the metal plate, pc plates sound a lot better.

[tawdry tree]

As of now* All HE switches compatible with Wooting share the same stem and top housing molds, except for Raptors of course.

[sullen salmon]

new case, polyfill, tape mod, no films since the jade housing is tight enough already as it is, pbt keycaps, lubed everything with the correct lube and a fairly decent layer of lube

stabs arent perfect yet im waiting for tx stabs to come in so i can tune them

oh, also pcb foam for switches

[tawdry tree]

Test fit them before tuning to save yourself the hassle if they don’t fit.

[sullen salmon]

will do

cheers

[upper tusk]

Nice i might look into that

[sullen salmon]

and gummy o ring mounting too lol, theres always a few things i forget but ive tried just about every single mod you can do for the wooting now

n this is what has yielded the best results for me personally

i can finally just about settle until the new rakka pcb comes out

[upper tusk]

And is there any recommendations for cases i wanted the fjell 60 but its out of stock

[sullen salmon]

tofu redux, alumaze and any gh60 compatible case

just search the interwebs and youll find something eventually, make sure to confirm its compatible before purchasing tho

[upper tusk]

Is there a way to see if its compatible?

[sullen salmon]

lemme send you the list

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

[upper tusk]

Damn nice thanks

[sullen salmon]

no worries man

[upper tusk]

Do the leaf springs of the salvation work with the wooting

@harsh dove@fluid ravine HOLY SHIT BOIS, THE MODULE IS SHIPPED

[fluid ravine]

YOOOOOOOO

FINALLY

JFDLJFD;SAJFLDFDJASL;FDSA

[stable kindle]

RIGHT !!!!!!!

After i build it i can have an excuse to game again

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[stable kindle]

cant WAIT

[granite blaze]

whats a good clean white usb c cable non braided that i can buy for my wooting

[tawdry tree]

Yes, they’re in the standard 60% locations.

You can’t take the leaf springs out and put them in a different case if that’s what you meant.

[granite blaze]

Do cablemod pro straight (non coiled) cables work with tachyon mode?

[near loom]

for anyone that built in a tofu redux and a module edition what configs for the foams and silicon did you like?

[paper bloom]

I run the normal whats given in the box from tofy

Tofu*

Since i dont have the prebuilt foam

[sullen salmon]

get polyfill for the case and use the poron form for the plate

[azure jacinth]

foam over the silicone?

[near loom]

yeah im running a build with the raptor he swithces and silicon switch pad with the kbd and foam on bottom. Its so loud right now

[mystic pumice]

I just bought some Jades and have just learned that I need to switch out stabilizers for them to work. And I am not comfortable at all to do a deep mod of my expensive keyboard.

I have absolutely no idea what so ever what to look for in stabilizers or how dangerous for the board it is to switch out (I have no tools like soldering irons or something like that, just screwdrivers, and I do not intent to spend a fortune on tools)

I have no modding experience

Should I just return my Jades or?

[strange blaze]

Guys is the tofu 60 wood not being sold anymore???

[tawdry tree]

You most likely don’t need different stabilizers, the stock ones are fine. If you want to switch them out anyway you don’t need to desolder anything, just remove the module from the case and unscrew the switch plate. You don’t even have to take the switches out!

[mystic pumice]

But I have absolutly no clue what kind of stabilizers to look for

[midnight hornet]

TX AP longpole stabs
Just watch a vid on how to replace the stabs and you will be fine

[mystic pumice]

It is all so confusing

[tawdry tree]

Are you using your Jades and they don’t work well with your stabilizers or do you not yet have them in?

[iron bear]

Don't think so but there's the GH60 Walnut that should fit

[mystic pumice]

I have not gotten my Jades yet. They shipped today but I am really close at returning them because I am kinda scared that I have to change out soooo much more than just switches...

Like will my stock keycaps be fine or will they need to be switched too?

[tawdry tree]

You plan on using the stock Wooting keycaps?

[mystic pumice]

Ye

I bought the Double shot PBT

[tawdry tree]

You don’t need different stabilizers or keycaps. All work perfectly.

[mystic pumice]

I just see a lot of videos where the space bar goes sideways and almost pops off

And I tend to use the edge of my spacebar

[tawdry tree]

Same, but you do not need different stabilizers. I just pressed mine into place firmly and nothing else.

[mystic pumice]

If I did get different stabilizers like these
https://unikeyboards.com/en-dk/products/tx-stabilizers-newest-2023-almost-perfect-edition?variant=44705473855806
What kind would I need? 1.6 reg or long?
or 1.2 reg or long?

[tawdry tree]

1.6

[mystic pumice]

Long or regular??

[tawdry tree]

Long poles with the Jades but if you plan on using different switching in the future their travel distance will be limited by the long poles.

[mystic pumice]

I will save the stock stabilizers

and put them in the box the Wooting came with

[tawdry tree]

It’s up to you, I’d recommend you to use your Jades with the stock stabs and when you switch out your keycaps and have issue then and only then buy long pole stabs.

Some experience an issue too with TX’s stabs not fitting in their switch plate.

[mystic pumice]

... everything is so confusing...

[tawdry tree]

Also, do you have the 60HE+ Module or the regular 60HE?

[mystic pumice]

regular 60HE everything stock

No screw in stabs support

[tawdry tree]

Good that you know that, it means you can’t use PCB mounted stabilizers.

Only plate mounted.

[mystic pumice]

I am gonna try the Jades without new stabs first but can you send a link for some good compatible stabs for the jade switch? Just in case, I will save it in my bookmarks

[gleaming crane]

Quick question, I was cleaning my desk area earlier and found that my tofu60 redux came with little foam adhesives, I have no clue what to do with them, can someone tell me what they’re for🥲

[tawdry tree]

The TX AP Plate Mounted Long Pole Stabilizers would be only long pole option I know of but I can’t guarantee they fit well.

[mystic pumice]

What about these? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003427540826.html

I just want something that I know fits. I am a student with limited money and I have no intention of buying a bunch of different stabs to see what works best.

I just want something that is good quality that fits

[tawdry tree]

These aren’t long pole stabs so they’d be functionally identical to the stock stabs.

[tawdry tree]

Stock stabs fit. 😊

[mystic pumice]

I can't find any where in EU that sells TX AP Plate mounted long pole stabilizers... Only these that are PCB mount
https://unikeyboards.com/en-dk/products/tx-stabilizers-newest-2023-almost-perfect-edition

[tawdry tree]

Save yourself the hassle man. Use the Jades with the stock stabilizers and if you ever want different keycaps then look for the long poles.

I don’t know any vendor that sells them here in Europe but that’s quite common in this hobby. 😂🥲

[tawdry tree]

Picture maybe? 😄

[mystic pumice]

What about o-rings on stabilizer? Would that also work?

[tawdry tree]

For some yes, but again I have no issue with Jades and stock stabs and keycaps, none!

The issue is caused by lose keycaps

[mystic pumice]

Im just worried

Don't wanna have money go to waste

[tawdry tree]

It’s up to you man.

[remote dust]

where are you from?

[mystic pumice]

Denmark

[gusty mist]

Top left keys sound much different in my Tofu bc I burger mounted and had to crank down that screw to align USB port. Is it worth trying to fix this or should I just live with it

[remote dust]

Ahh okay cause I had to get new stabs since I accidentally washed the stem down the drain, but I bought my TX AP's from a website but I'm pretty sure it's only australia based

[mystic pumice]

Do they come pre lubed or?

[mystic pumice]

Thx for the help tho

[remote dust]

No I have to lube them but I haven't lubed them yet as I haven't gotten my grease or lube yet

[mystic pumice]

Damn I was worried about it not coming pre lubed...

[tawdry tree]

No 3rd party stabs come prelubed, the stock stabs are prelubed though.

[tawdry tree]

Np!

[remote dust]

When I got my Wooting I'm pretty sure for some reason the stab wire ends were not balanced so I kept getting a ticking sound so I had to balance them out, If that's your case then you should look into tuning your wire

[remote dust]

I've only done this to my Wooting. Changed the case to a Tofu Redux with the weight then tape modded my module got TX AP plate mount stabs and then put pieces of Band-Aids under them

[harsh dove]

Tbf KNC Keys will lube stabs for you if you buy off their website, but it's US based, idk of any EU based companies that do that

[strange blaze]

Well im unable to find the tofu anywhere so i think they might not sell it anymore

[iron bear]

Yeah there could be some on some marketplace or if they don't make a Tofu V2 walnut version, there's this one though or similar https://www.amazon.com/NPKC-Wooden-Mechanical-Keyboard-Compatible/dp/B06ZYMCJBR (I've got a Tofu V1 Walnut)

[strange blaze]

Yep your also recommending the one i was eyeing already, ill probably get it, thanks!

I just realized it for some reason has a hole in the bottom lol

[iron bear]

Yeah it's for the reset/dip switches on some boards

[sullen salmon]

nope

you dont

i am using jades rn with stock wooting stabs

works just fine

[sullen salmon]

looks exactly like mine

basically just get a wooden gh60 and check with the server to make sure its compatible and itll be fine

[young lantern]

silicone vs poron switch plate for the jades? im using the tofu redux

and speaking of how good is the stock case foam that comes with the redux? should i grab something else or is everyone just gonna run stock

[shell parrot]

I got that one as well haha, mine is quality wise really good :)

[sullen salmon]

pretty bad

get polyfill

so good

[sullen salmon]

try both, i prefer the foam cuz it allows me to gummy o ring mount the board easier

[blazing saffron]

Are stock key caps good or do you recommend I order some replacements

[sullen salmon]

they work just fine its up to your preference

and what your goal with the board is

more "thock" youll want pbtfans more "poppyness" youll want gmk

also for colourways too

[blazing saffron]

Any budget key cap sets that you’d recommend?

[young lantern]

ooo yes im using o ring mount as well and the foam helps the board sound more thock as well since im on the jades right

[sullen salmon]

yeah

[young lantern]

whats the sound like with the silicone though more muted?

and how is the foam easier to o ring just curious

[sullen salmon]

havent tried it so im not sure as i couldnt get it to gummy oring since silicone is a little stiffer

[sullen salmon]

softer, digs into the plate foam more

you could probably get silicone to work itd just be much harder to get it out

[sullen salmon]

not necessairly

[young lantern]

that sounds obvious lmao thank you

[sullen salmon]

if its budget your after go for a colourway that you like

[young lantern]

smooth brained rn

[sullen salmon]

na i tried silicone too

wish it worked since i wanted to hear more thock

[blazing saffron]

Damn

[sullen salmon]

just look for a nice colur way or even try ali express

[blazing saffron]

Alright

[sacred jay]

lol, he switches arent soldered

anyway ive treated my wooting real rough before and its just fine

[sacred jay]

You can just assume everything is made with compatibility in mind

it wouldnt make sense for gateron to release standalone parts that work with barely anything, they dont make keycaps

[neat falcon]

Ah YES

[hard sapphire]

How can I find more sound test of jades

[median spade]

3rd one down

[weak inlet]

Glorious PC Gaming Race G-Lube is this lube good for lubing lekker 45s

or this one MAXCUSTOM 205g0 Switch Lubricant

[agile grove]

you milage might vary since it seems to be their own lube and they dont specify anything about it

[agile grove]

yes this will work

[weak inlet]

so the maxcustom will be bvetter for stabs and switches?

[bronze grove]

Lube for switches and stabs are usually different consistensies. You wouldn't want to use the same for both.

Switches like smooth and runnier lube, compared to the thicker grease like lube for stabs.

[agile grove]

it'll be fine for switches, might want to pick up some 105g0 for the springs and dielectric grease for the stab wires.

205g0 is probably fine for the stabs but dielectric grease is better

[weak inlet]

could anyone send me what to buy ideally opn maxgaming cause i am an europe citizen (something budgewt friendly i need everything switch opener, brush and ect)

[empty sentinel]

So I got mine yesterday. Haven’t put it together yet. You using foam or silicone for your pc plate and are you hand lubing your switches lol

Actually should I hand lube the L45 ?

[agile grove]

if you want them to sound better then yes you should lube them

[empty sentinel]

Lol im scared 🤣 this is my first build .. to YouTube I go

[weak inlet]

or should i buy these 2 things for lubing my switches and stabs

[median spade]

Yeah that works

[weak inlet]

or should buy something else from maxgaming? if yeah pls recommend me cause i am not experienced at all

[unreal pendant]

I always use 205g0 for stabs since they feel terribly overlubed with grease to me even when applying very little of it

[mental salmon]

do you have a switch opener already?

[weak inlet]

nope i dont have anything for lubing and ect.

so a list of things i should buy on maxgaming would be more then appreciated

[median spade]

maxgaming won't have all that

just watch a video on how to lujbe switches, tools to use, etc

will help you learn and understand

wooting has a ton of videos on it if you go their youtube page

[tawdry tree]

Oh wow!

[random quail]

Can someone help me mod I have almost no idea what I’m doing

[random quail]

Yes

I’ve done the

O ring mount

Where like I just stuck it on

Then the memory foam

I’m putting in the pcb now

[empty sentinel]

Anyone lube the screw in stabs?

I think I see some grease in There . I’m considering not going through the hassle lol

[tawdry tree]

Stab screws shouldn’t be lubed but if it’s hard to get the lube out just roll with it 😂

If it comes out you’ll hear it.

[empty sentinel]

Not the screws themselves lol the screw-in stabs 🤣

[tawdry tree]

Oh, yes of course. Nearly all stabs require a bit of lube to sound good but the stock stabs already come prelubed.

So if you like the sound and feel of the stabs you don’t have to do anything else! 👍

[empty sentinel]

Thanks

[verbal knoll]

did you find any? desperately looking myself

https://www.amazon.com/014-Buna-N-Ring-Durometer-Round/dp/B0051XYMQ4/ref=sr_1_5?crid=QTAGEF6O2S5X&keywords=o-ring%2B90a&qid=1706988702&sprefix=o-ring%2B90a%2Caps%2C175&sr=8-5&th=1

or could someone verify if these o-rings have proper specifications for a wooting keyboard?

very confusing with the inches and the 014 spec, no idea what it means

[harsh dove]

#🪛│modding_faq

[verbal knoll]

that doesn't help my question though?

[harsh dove]

Sure it does, it tells you which O rings work

[bronze grove]

You asked for dimensions, that quote has dimensions?

[harsh dove]

I can't help you with all these dimensions

Most of us don't do that

https://graveshift.com/products/graveshift-m-o-rings

[verbal knoll]

where? it just says the hardness? which is 50a, and I need at least 80a, preferably 90a

but there are a trillion dimension selectors on that amazon link and idk if any of them are suited for keycaps

gets extra confusing since I'm used to millimeters, not inches

[harsh dove]

Yeah I personally wouldn't get the one off amazon

[verbal knoll]

you got any other tips? I can only find 90a in stock on mechanicalkeyboards but they charge 60$ to ship to europe lol. I'm sure aliexpress or amazon has some but I just don't know which keywords to use to find. 90a o-rings keyboard for example doesn't give any results

[harsh dove]

The highest I can find on Bakeneko or Graveshift is 70A

[verbal knoll]

yeah I can already get 70a here but some people report that they are too squishy

[harsh dove]

Why do you want such a high hardness though?

What case are you using?

[verbal knoll]

it messes with the sensor because of the bounce etc

standard 60he

[harsh dove]

Nobody has reported issues with 30A-50A

in terms of sensors

That I know of

[verbal knoll]

I cba looking for it but I want minimum 80 pref 90

[harsh dove]

Yeah that might be a bit tough as I'm not sure the exact dimensions needed for the Wooting PCB and most of the keeb sites only carry up to 65-70A

[verbal knoll]

#1165598831522619433 message

[harsh dove]

There's these dimensions from this site

so maybe you can go off these

[quaint gyro]

Do you guys know any PCB that feat with wooting switch in TKL ?

[harsh dove]

I don't know of any TKL PCBs that work with Lekker Switches if that's what you're asking

OP

Lots of people who bought 60HE got it for competitive gaming. Without going into specifics why low travel can be good, I would ask you to source and sell 80-90A hard O-rings because nobody else does in EU/Intn. 70A is available but it's not hard enough to stop movement completely. It compresses and with rapid trigger key release happens with highest sensitivity option (0.15 mm).

[harsh dove]

Yeah I haven't personally seen anyone else with this issue

[verbal knoll]

" 70A is available but it's not hard enough to stop movement completely. It compresses and with rapid trigger key release happens with highest sensitivity option (0.15 mm)."

[harsh dove]

Most people get 30-70A

and have no issues

[verbal knoll]

[harsh dove]

Lol I don't know why you'd put yourself thru a hassle to find an oring that nobody uses

When there's options that work for everyone else

I provided those options

The rest is on you

[verbal knoll]

appeal to popularity fallacy. I just told you why but you won't listen to it for some reason. because it's not hard enough and will give more trouble than 90a

most people aren't sensitive enough to notice those differencesxs

[harsh dove]

But nobody has said they have sensor issues

[verbal knoll]

I just linked you one

[harsh dove]

One person

[verbal knoll]

and?

I can find more, so what?

it's not hard enough

[harsh dove]

And he didn't provide enough info really either

[verbal knoll]

yikes

yeah I'm sure he is lying!

why would anyone do anything other than popular opinion?

[harsh dove]

and if its causing that many issues then...

It's not specifically design for it anyway

Go back to using screws

[strange blaze]

Guys what do i need to write here

[harsh dove]

I've used 3 different O rings 30A - 40A - 55A and havn't had issues with sensors and I use 0.15mm rapid trigger actuation

[strange blaze]

Ordering jades rn

[harsh dove]

Mind you I also test a lot of different mods for the Wooting60

[verbal knoll]

it's not only about the sensor but also about needless wobble and instability.

that was in reference to 70a

[harsh dove]

Reducing travel of the switches with a pcb o-ring?

Are we sure we aren't talking about o-rings for the switches?

[strange blaze]

?

[bronze grove]

You tell us? 0 unless you know better?

[harsh dove]

Something like this?

[verbal knoll]

I'm talking about switches yes

yes

[harsh dove]

Ok, my apologies then

[verbal knoll]

I'm sorry too 😄

[harsh dove]

Lol no worries

https://a.co/d/9Zmy0q0

I mean I know Tirade used something like this

but I don't see a hardness

[sage flicker]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051XYLK6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 - this is the only one that fit for me. Can only stack 1 though because stacking the 2nd one won't let the keycap sit firmly. I tried finding another one with greater width (so that 1 would be enough to cover full distance), but when you change width, you change the ID too.

[verbal knoll]

hmm. I tried sending the seller a message. what exactly were you talking about though? KEKW

[harsh dove]

I thought you were referring the to Gummy Mount aka Friction Mount O Rings

Hence why I was so confused about the sensor issues and hardness level you wanted

[unreal pendant]

has anyone actually tried o ring mount on the module with screw ins?

[verbal knoll]

oh thanks. how many mm is this? height-wise?

[harsh dove]

Not sure if anyone's tried but it's assumed to not work because of backspace and spacebar screw in stabs

because the o-ring would bulge outward from those points and not fit into your case

So you have to replace the backspace and spacebar stabs with clip ins or plate mount

[random quail]

Is it not recommended to switch springs

[harsh dove]

You can

People have done it

[random quail]

So like if I switches my l45 spring and stem to geon raptor housing

[harsh dove]

Yeah that's fine

[random quail]

Or does that defeat the point of buying geon

[harsh dove]

No, people have done that

[random quail]

There is way less wobble now I have to say

[verbal knoll]

and why would you stack it? it's already 2mm tall right? 008 = 0.2cm = 2mm I think

that's already half the travel distance of the regular switch

[random quail]

Idk if I should go 45 or 60 tbh

[sage flicker]

for lowest possible reduction, idk. I forget the numbers. Done with o-rings for now lol. Getting a custom KB soon 😄

[harsh dove]

Do you want lighter or heavier switches ?

[verbal knoll]

aah. do you think maybe 2.5mm would be enough?

[random quail]

Yeah that’s the thing idk 💀

[sage flicker]

idk, i don't remember if it felt like half the travel. might've been.

[verbal knoll]

it's 4mm in total

[random quail]

What do you guys prefer

[harsh dove]

I prefer lighter switches

[random quail]

For what reason

[harsh dove]

Just less fatigue

feels like typing on a cloud of feathers

[verbal knoll]

but they fit perfectly though? and it was for the wooting 60he?

[harsh dove]

Some people don't like lighter switches tho if they fat finger a lot

[sage flicker]

all wooting HE the samer

[harsh dove]

or mistype

[sage flicker]

i have Lekker

speaking of which. Anyone want to buy my Lekker with 37g springs (from alibaba) with Lekker Stem Raptor mod? kek

[verbal knoll]

how come you're getting rid of the wooting?

[sour siren]

Anyone who used the alumnae case, did you use the black or clear standoff protection rings?

[bronze grove]

I honestly don't remember which set I applied.

[sage flicker]

custom split KB incoming

also, Lekker is big on my desk. Not going this size anymore.

[empty sentinel]

I just switched to the foam for thock

But no updating yet messing with lubing switches lol

[sour siren]

Are the standoff protectors basically the same then and it’s just up to preference which set to use

[sour siren]

I also just switched out the silicon to foam

[harsh dove]

I prefer the silicone stand offs because they don't compress as much as the foam

[sour siren]

why does kbd fans have to charge 26 dollars for shipping

god damn

[blazing saffron]

thats absurd, id get the new case if its shipping wasnt that much

new case?

what case

[blazing saffron]

tofu 60 redux

[weak inlet]

so this set has everything for lubing my keyboard from lubes to the brushes and ect.?

[harsh dove]

Yes

[weak inlet]

if you are from EU get it from maxgaming

[blazing saffron]

im from us

[blazing saffron]

holy shit

[zenith yoke]

[azure jacinth]

Yeah KBD shipping costed me $32 >.>

and I’m US as well

[blazing saffron]

is lubing worth 47 dollars

[harsh dove]

Yes

[verbal knoll]

you should try mechanicalkeyboards.com they charge 61$ for shipping to eu

[azure jacinth]

Ouch

[blazing saffron]

seems like a bit much

[harsh dove]

Pretty standard pricing

[weak inlet]

there is this set also that is cheaper

[bronze grove]

Literally the same.

[glad ruin]

How do you install the foam that comes with the module? It doesnt have any prepunched holes for the screws, and if i put it in the case then the module is not lined up with the usb slot

Is it just because of the case that i have?

[harsh dove]

Are you referring to the foam that says MODULE on it?

That's not case foam

That's for if you do not have a case

you can rest the board on there in the meantime

until your case comes in

[weak inlet]

and i have one small question while i was changing the silicone pad for the foam pad on my 60he module one of my screws that i screw in has its head off (basically screw inside but head fell off and nope i wasn’t putting too much pressure) any way to get the screw out? @harsh dove any way to get the screw out safely

[glad ruin]

So the case foam is something else??

[harsh dove]

Yes

Should be in a plastic bag

iirc

[weak inlet]

yes inside plastic bag

[harsh dove]

with the pcb foam and silicone pad

[verbal knoll]

this is theoringstore.com's shipping fees

84$

[verbal knoll]

what the fuck is wrong with people

oh, ok i thought that was just the alternative inlay piece

[stray tiger]

@harsh dove my mystery bakeneko kit came.

[blazing saffron]

do any switch openers work with the lekker switches?

[harsh dove]

If you live a what's considered a "remote location" then they charge like an extra $35

I know cause I live in a remote location lol

[harsh dove]

and DHL charges the fuck outta me for it

[bronze grove]

You can just... ask a question. Without pinging me 😛

[weak inlet]

any way to deal with this

[blazing saffron]

😐

[harsh dove]

You gonna be opening on stream or messing with it now?

[weak inlet]

cause while lubing i need to get the stabilisers out and i cant if i dont unscrew the pcb

[stray tiger]

If you are confident in your abilities you can use a small drill bit and try to reverse it out or drill into it and use a screw remover

[azure jacinth]

DAAAAMN

[weak inlet]

uhhhh not really that confident

[stray tiger]

My gf opened the box but I'll wait to see what color case and key caps they gave me until I stream it later today. Will be a good test stream

[harsh dove]

Awesome, I'll def be there

I still need to mod my module

[devout torrent]

What’s your twitch

[stray tiger]

thethockfather

[blazing saffron]

would something like this work?

[harsh dove]

Yes but it doesn't come with stabilizer lube like the Wooting one does

and has fewer brushes

[blazing saffron]

hard to justify spending 20+ dollars on just lube

[harsh dove]

Well it's also tools but yeah

[blazing saffron]

no?

[empty sentinel]

L45 switches that came with my module barely sound different lubed .. pre lube sounds pretty good

[blazing saffron]

isnt that just the tools?

[harsh dove]

No

[verbal knoll]

can someone please confirm that these are correct? 8mm outer diameter, 2mm height, 90a hardness. Good shit?

https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005591581016.html

[blazing saffron]

oh alright

[harsh dove]

Yeah it both kits combined into one

comes out slightly cheaper

[weak inlet]

going to buy this one also but my screw on pcb broke is there any way of lubing stabs without removing pcb?

[harsh dove]

If you have a lube syringe

[blazing saffron]

are there any discount codes

[harsh dove]

Idk if there is for the lube and tool kits

[tawdry tree]

You can get kry 205 and all other lube for half on ali

Switch openers compatible with Lekker switch are often named Cherry switch openers.

All that work with cherry work with lekker as well. 👍

[glad ruin]

Are the bulk order switches from wooting prelubed?

[harsh dove]

Yes

[glad ruin]

Ok i thought so but it doesnt have any text on the jar ty

[empty sentinel]

Where do the O rings go lol and the white screws ?

[harsh dove]

Case Standoffs

White screws are case screws

[empty sentinel]

Got ya

So do I put them

Here

[harsh dove]

Yeah but you can ignore the one in the middle and the one by the spacebar, unless you want to add the brass standoffs there and use them

[empty sentinel]

Lol and white vs black? Referring to O rings

[harsh dove]

it's optional

[harsh dove]

Foam or Silicone, personal preference

I prefer the silicone as it doesn't compress as much as the foam

[empty sentinel]

Got ya

FYI for anyone wondering .. I skipped lubing all my switches .. idk if I got a good batch or what but they just not sounding much different

[static tendon]

Anyone know what these are for? I heard case stand offs but that looks different

[harsh dove]

Scroll up

its basically like burger mount

[static tendon]

Oh like it's used for the screws when tightening down the PCB to the case

I used my own silicone rings but I did see these included

[harsh dove]

Sort of

you place them on top of the stand offs

or you can apply them to the bottom of the pcb

where the screw holes are

[static tendon]

Interesting

Is there a guide on these anywhere? Didn't see anything mentioned about these

[harsh dove]

Not that I know of

but you just wanna line them up with the screw holes either on the case or on the bottom of the pcb

[static tendon]

Darn, most unboxing video's i've watched didn't include these

[harsh dove]

I'm supposed to be doing a modding live stream today and I can show it on my module

I haven't modded it yet

Tirade is also doing a stream and can possibly answer or show it as well

[empty sentinel]

I know I’m stuck on this, but lol did you get new switches also cause these are great 🤣

[jagged geode]

Search Wooting Burger mount on YouTube it’s the first video you’ll find.

[harsh dove]

New switches as in like Jades?

[harsh dove]

True, this is similar to what it is

[static tendon]

No, these are different https://youtu.be/tlPX6gYSxyU?si=UF9a67rC2Ar7I5Qy

[empty sentinel]

I’m over here lubing and I’m just like wth. No I got l45s with my board and they already sound so good

[harsh dove]

They are different but its the same concept really

[harsh dove]

Oh if you're happy the L45s then stick with them

No reason to get new switches if you like them

[sour siren]

they just stick on the points where u screw you're board into the case to make it softer contact point

[static tendon]

Yeah but the sizing is quite different but I guess so

Slowly getting adjusted to the module, still feels weird in game but better

[empty sentinel]

Did you use the stand offs ?

[static tendon]

I did not, no need for them. If anything they'll stiffen up the typing feel, trying to avoid that from happening

[still musk]

what do o rings do

[static tendon]

I didn't lube stabs, didn't lube switches. Using L45's this thing is practically perfect out the box. No complaints super happy with it

I've lubed switches in the past and this still feels far better

[empty sentinel]

I broke one of mine so … lol (dont ask)

[static tendon]

Bummer, it is what it is

[empty sentinel]

Facts

[static tendon]

My module so far

[trim wadi]

Since buying the custom module I have fallen into the trap of keyboard modding lmao

[gaunt linden]

Does anyone have a sound comparison video between FR4, CF and PC?

[trim wadi]

I intend too, I have never typed on a keyboard so satisfying 🤣

[gusty mist]

Bumping this, anybody else deal with this using burger mount in tofu?

Might try removing bottom o-ring and replacing with one of the sticker pads

[harsh dove]

Clip Ins are here

Screw Ins will be here later this week

[hard sapphire]

Did you buy them for sound or did you have issues

[harsh dove]

No issues at all, bought them for testing

Because other people seem to be having issues

[hard sapphire]

A man of the people

Gummy o ring mount vs burger mount

[harsh dove]

Gummy

[stable kindle]

imma hand lube and do all the mods the thocc degends recommended

[odd grail]

Real

I tried the switch tape mod yesterday a few times to make sure I could get it right. It tried a few things but I figured out the best way to do it with the stuff I have.

Anyways, it works and now I'm faced with the reality that I totally need to do it for my entire keyboard and I don't know how to process it

I've been sitting here playing with this single switch for hours omg

Debating on doing a before and after sound test, or just doing this to all the switches prior to the rest of the stuff arriving

[loud haven]

[empty sentinel]

Mannnn I did a good bit and was like yeah im not even seeing that much of a difference, and quit lol idk maybe I got a good batch of l45

[tall rain]

Cool or nah? Typing Test (build in description): https://youtu.be/QSvLHhMcTS4?si=E0Cuim57W9y1nCAm

[tawdry tree]

🙄🤞

[polar girder]

This with better switches would be awesome

[sweet cedar]

havent been active in a while has there been any new cool switches since jades

also any jade mods?

[harsh dove]

Few of us have the KS20u Dual Rails on the way
