[potent cipher]

noted, thanks before i kept going on my wild goose hunt

is there anywhere specifically that has loads of backlit keycaps

or am i just shooting a shot in the dark till lucky

jk ignore me guess im just picking something under google results for "backlit keycaps"

[still musk]

do stock stabs work with gateron jade switches with the stock pbt wooting keycaps?

ive heard issues with the jade switches, but only with keycaps that arent stock- if i do need different stabs, what would they be?

[uncut musk]

#🪛│modding_faq message

@still musk

[still musk]

thanks

[potent holly]

how to make wooting sound creamy?

[median spade]

stuff as much foam as possible

[potent holly]

will ceramic keycaps work on the wooting?

[still musk]

ive heard that the spacebar is too heavy for the l45s

[median spade]

yeah youll need l60s minimum

for good experience

[median spade]

[gaunt linden]

Now it sounds a thousand times better!

[median spade]

Is this this stock steel plate btw

[blazing saffron]

is lubing worth it

[still musk]

what stabs for the jades? the FAQ doesnt exactly say which ones..

[median spade]

I have tx ap

[still musk]

those are stabs?

[median spade]

But if you want to be really safe get tx ap long pole

It really depends on your keycaps

Quality ones don’t have issues

[still musk]

im running just stock white pbt wooting keycaps

do you think those will have issues?

[median spade]

Should be fine

[still musk]

ok, im worried about the far ends of the spacebar

[median spade]

Can search in here I imagine someone has done jades with stock keycaps

For example

[still musk]

ok slay

thanks man

[median spade]

Np

[median spade]

If you get newer batch of lekkers or jades not a big deal and just use stock

Pretty good factory lube now

[gaunt linden]

Its the pc plate

[gaunt linden]

Im using tx ap

[still musk]

what is the best place to get those? preferably fast..

[median spade]

Word just looked different to me for some reason so thought you got a custom one

[median spade]

Region?

[still musk]

NA

[median spade]

https://divinikey.com/products/tx-ap-plate-mount-stabilizers

[still musk]

base or 2U?

[median spade]

Base

2u is just one of them

Like the shift or backspace

[still musk]

are these compatible with the screw in? im gonna have the module 60he+

[median spade]

Yeah plate design still has clips

But if you want screws in they have those too

Or clip ins

[still musk]

what is the difference?

[median spade]

One clips in or screws into pcb

Plate mount clip into the plate

[still musk]

what about tx ap long pole? i heard on the jade FAQ that long pole was best

[median spade]

They’re good for long pole but if you ever switch from jade they’re not as good

I have jades with tx ap myself

Not long pole

[still musk]

and those dont have a problem? I'm a little concerned with the redundancy of getting extra stabs in the first place, considering some people are saying you dont need them

[median spade]

Yeah I would jsur get jades and worry about it later

You should be fine

[still musk]

alright sounds good

I don't plan on switching from the stock keycaps, and if I do ill take another look at the stabs

but thanks for the help!

[zenith yoke]

gateron jade switches W

i love them

an dhow htey sound

[zenith yoke]

I have the 60he+ module with Gateron Jade switches and hyperx pudding keycaps

i have no issues

[weak inlet]

np mate thx a lot

[gaunt linden]

Are kineticlabs keycaps good?

[full hornet]

https://www.newegg.com/p/2VS-00KS-003N5

Does anyone know if this case would work for the 60he? It looks fine to me but I am not very knowledgeable on this kind of thing.

I see another GH60 case on the compatibility list, but I am not sure if that always means it will fit because I see the Tofu60 has multiple kinds and only some are compatible.

[dense token]

would 60he+ work with other screw in stabs

[bleak steeple]

uh yeah? that’s the point of having the option of screw in stabs i’m pretty sure

[kind yew]

Wooting only plate mount 💀

[gentle palm]

Can someone correct me? Was Wooting going to have metal cases for Two HE and 80HE? (my mind is saying yes) or are there cases that are compatible with the Two HE?

[bronze grove]

80HE? Yes. Zinc Alloy case announced.
2HE? Not from us. There's a German company that's been toying with an aftermarket case they would offer

[gentle palm]

Thanks - look forward to both

[sonic hull]

Really curious about the 80he layout changes

[paper bloom]

Its just the arrow keys moved to 0.25

To the right

[sonic hull]

Oh I was told there’s other changes coming.

[paper bloom]

There are

Besides that

They announced the clip in silicone feet

[sonic hull]

I was told there was going to be a knob somewhere.

[paper bloom]

A knob ?

[paper bloom]

Wat no

[sullen hamlet]

Hey! I am planning to buy the two HE do you know of compatible cases? Maybe the question has already been answered?

[sonic hull]

Hrm have I been lied to

[paper bloom]

U can see the website there is no knob

[bronze grove]

No such thing.

[paper bloom]

All there is the arrow keys

[bronze grove]

A knob is in the works.

[paper bloom]

O i c

[sullen hamlet]

💀

[paper bloom]

A knob variant

Wld b cool

[wet hazel]

If you are referring to that, it's not official

[bronze grove]

Not a variant.

[sonic hull]

Current 80he known layout makes little sense to me so ya.

[paper bloom]

So into 80HE ok

[sonic hull]

I’m eager to try some HE action.

Though I tried programming without arrow keys for a bit and that was a pain in the rear

[sonic hull]

Not sure if Anders is Wooting official but he an admin should know something and he just confirmed it

So again, excited to see what they come up with

[cyan adder]

How does it sound

[bronze grove]

I am quite official, I assure you.

Calder "leaked" the knob previously. We'll cover it in more detail in coming 80HE videos I believe.

[gaunt linden]

Sounds amazing compared to stock

[grim steppe]

What screw in stabilizers would you recommend? TX AP or Gateron Ink V2?
And what size should I use? (1.2/1.6)

[glossy pagoda]

The most official Duck

[austere creek]

tmw you have the wooting staff role and get questioned on if youre official or not

[crimson sky]

if they cost the same I would take TX, 1.6mm for the wooting 60HE+, for all other models you need the plate mounted variant

[grim steppe]

Okay, thanks

[crimson sky]

but also for the 60he+

just try the stock stabs first

[grim steppe]

I should try stock plate mount stabs?

[glacial wind]

there's no reason to swap them out if you're happy or fine with them, try them out first then swap if you're still not happy is what he's saying

[crimson sky]

I mean why not

or are you ordering from the store where you buy stabs anyways

absolute worst case you gotta use mediocre stabs for a week

[grim steppe]

I just want to build perfect keyboard😁

[austere creek]

i may not be the best person to say this but... a lot of keyboard stuff is subjective

there is no objectively best keyboard

[blazing saffron]

I mean

In a way yeah

[austere creek]

you will most likely have to order stuff, try it, order more stuff, try again

and so on

[blazing saffron]

But there are certain aspects that can give you advantages other keebs can’t

Like rapid trigger and lower actuations

[austere creek]

yes but feel and sound are not something that firmware can change or fix

[blazing saffron]

True

[wet hazel]

Welp the aliexpress keycap broke, sounds horrible now lol

[crimson sky]

[paper bloom]

Get a new one

[bronze grove]

A bit of super glue could fix that.

[paper bloom]

Btw mansen during shipping is it normal for some of the polycarbonte to melt?

[bronze grove]

That is a very random question.

[paper bloom]

It is indeed LOL

Because when i recieved the module rn, there were some bits of the polycarbonate that looks melting ish

[bronze grove]

Shoot us an email at [e-mail]

(With photos)

[paper bloom]

O and uhh its been a week since the email

[paper bloom]

I did that for the first module and the 2nd order

and now ima email wooting again with photos man Supports going to have a field day

LOL

[crimson sky]

should be entirely fine up to 125C

so no, would not be normal

[paper bloom]

Not my side either way the module board shldnt be a problem its just a bit jagged out inbetween the switch line

[crimson sky]

might just be a bad injection mold

can you show an image

[paper bloom]

Ye sure

so i got 2

i will expain which is which

while emailing to Wooting

I was putting into the switches into the PCB PC and afterwards realised how the PCB PC was warped all switches were in btw so no way and my strength is literally not thor

[paper bloom]

This is what i just recieved

Ive emailed wooting about it alrdy so dw

and it is p minor

[crimson sky]

do you mean that

[paper bloom]

Yea its just the injection mold issue right

[paper bloom]

Ye

[crimson sky]

that is just molding marks

is entirely normal

[paper bloom]

Ah okay then no issue

[paper bloom]

Still got no explaination for this tho, im starting to think it was the shipping part that made it too hot

Or a defect

[crimson sky]

not entirely sure what you mean

[paper bloom]

Look between G and H

Ive alrdy talked about this q a lot of times and i feel like a idiot LOL

[crimson sky]

uhhhh

maybe you had some issue with the silicone not lining up properly?

[paper bloom]

The middle

[paper bloom]

Then its a defect either way

[crimson sky]

could also be a skill issue

uhhh try separating PCB and plate

[bronze grove]

Where is the issue? I don't see anything.

[crimson sky]

and look how it behaves then

[paper bloom]

The first picture the middle of the PCB PC is warped

The 2nd one i will forego since it is just normal stuff

[crimson sky]

also

your G key doesn't look likt it is seated propetly

[paper bloom]

it is

Ive tried MANY TIMES

ensuring it is a proper fit

[bronze grove]

Warped?

[paper bloom]

Yea

[bronze grove]

I don't see anything? Where what?

[paper bloom]

You can see the picture here LOL

[crimson sky]

try using a different switch in the G position

like it really looks like the housing did not close properly or something

[paper bloom]

Dude even without the switches its alrdy bent in

[crimson sky]

do you just mean that little tab

[paper bloom]

The plate

is BENT

[crimson sky]

yea no wonder it is bent in when you pushed it down

[paper bloom]

No dude its alrdy BENT IN

[crimson sky]

wasn't bent here

[paper bloom]

Then idk

Ive slotted it in alrdy

[paper bloom]

ima check again

and refit no way

yea ok no

Its bent in

[crimson sky]

[paper bloom]

WELP it is what it is till the email reply

Either way i made too much theories in one day

[wet hazel]

I'm using the keycap from the old keyboard meanwhile

[paper bloom]

Im still waiting on mine to come over im rn using temporary keycaps

[wet hazel]

Got fractured in multiple pieces sadly, no way I'm going to glue that together

[paper bloom]

3D printing then glue it

[humble kayak]

which pc plate comes in the module?

[bronze grove]

The white one.

[paper bloom]

But it is a DIY version and u can buy the PC plate

[halcyon obsidian]

module should be coming today

[paper bloom]

Nice

[teal parcel]

Same! Excited

Is there a guide here for the tofu redux build?

[paper bloom]

Check pins

in #archived_wooting_60he

[teal parcel]

Thanks boss, I appreciate it. Will be using it later

[neon harbor]

Are there any good keycaps that have their legends/symbols also shine with rgb?

[bronze grove]

Backlit keycaps is almost exclusively a "gaming brand keycap" thing.

Like ours.

[paper bloom]

Happy 2 help

[neon harbor]

then i guess ill buy the wooting white keycaps

[paper bloom]

You can also run the take control keycaps

[neon harbor]

planning on getting the tofu60 redux

in white

pretty certain those two combined wouldn't look too good

[median spade]

Depends on the whites used

one can be warmer then the other and colder etc

[humble kayak]

is there gonna be a white coiled cable soon?

[bronze grove]

We went with a slightly warmer white, because cold white looks odd.

[neon harbor]

talking about the take control keycap set

[bronze grove]

It's in the works! No final date yet.

[amber warren]

should i lube my wooting with super lube

[neon harbor]

dip it in machine oil

[paper bloom]

It does look good

Dw about it

[amber warren]

or will it fuck up the magnets in the switches

[paper bloom]

im running knock off ABS keycaps for gawr Gura from Aliexpress/Another dropshipper LOOL

[agile grove]

probably not, but I wouldnt recommend it anyways since it'll probably be too thick

just get some 205g0

[amber warren]

i've done it on other keyboards (not with lekker switches) and they worked fine, even when i overlubed

i won't overlube my wooting tho cuz 180€ is a lot of money

[neon harbor]

What screw-in stabs fit the wooting60 he?

[paper bloom]

If it isnt the 60HE+ Or the module you can forget about it

Screw in stabs are for those since it is compatible while the old 60HE is plate mounted

[neon harbor]

ah

[paper bloom]

check #🪛│modding_faq

[neon harbor]

mine's this

no bueno?

[bronze grove]

None in your case.

Needs to be a 60HE+

[neon harbor]

damn

[bronze grove]

60HE only supports plate mounted stabs.

[paper bloom]

No bueno

[neon harbor]

damn i really thought i bought the 60he+

[bronze grove]

I mean... you can return it within 30 days, if it's important to you.

[neon harbor]

Nah, i love it either way

what stabs does the wooting 60he use? wooting ones?

looking at these rn

[paper bloom]

I hear plate mount works

[agile grove]

those are clip in

[paper bloom]

But idk

[agile grove]

I hear plate mount doesnt work actually

[paper bloom]

Oh wait if its from AP

Then no

Wait lemme remember

[neon harbor]

this all so complex I swear

[agile grove]

theres no point to get third party stabs tbh, the stock ones are good enough

third party stabs are going to sound the same if not worse since they arent factory lubed

[neon harbor]

idk, my spacebar kinda rattles, more lube then i suppose?

[agile grove]

TX AP plate mount and screw in have been reported to not work

[neon harbor]

its minimal, but if you try you can notice it

[paper bloom]

There

[paper bloom]

For some cams worked well

So idk

[agile grove]

probably needs some balancing and lube

[paper bloom]

He can band aid mod

[neon harbor]

did it

[agile grove]

its so odd that some have issues and some dont. my TX AP clip in stab is working fine in my delete key.

[paper bloom]

Yo cam

Mb 4 the ping

O ye u checked ur dms yet ?

[neon harbor]

[harsh dove]

I have TX AP Plate Mount on my regular 60HE that work fine and I also have TX AP Clip Ins on my 60HE+ Module that also are working fine

[agile grove]

its must be some weird molding errors they have

[harsh dove]

Both with wooting pc plates

[agile grove]

that "AP" is really setting in

[neon harbor]

almost perfect

or armor piercing

[paper bloom]

Both

[wraith forge]

anyone recommend some screw in stabs for the wooting?

[neon harbor]

tx

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[agile grove]

TX AP

[wraith forge]

Bet bet

[paper bloom]

Screw ins dont work

[agile grove]

if you have the module then the stock ones

[paper bloom]

For AP

[harsh dove]

The stock screw ins on the module are fine

[wraith forge]

i ordered the prebuilt he+

so i don’t have screw ins

[harsh dove]

Oh okay

[agile grove]

they might not work. but yeah just to be safe maybe get clip in.

[harsh dove]

Then yeah you can get some screw ins, some have reported issues with tx ap screw ins tolerances fitting the plate so just be aware

[neon harbor]

@harsh dove so considering that I have a basic old 60HE (not the + variant or the module) I could try TX AP plate mounted stabs?

[harsh dove]

Yeah @neon harbor

[neon harbor]

If they are any better

I want to minmax

[paper bloom]

@harsh dove welp ima assume u havent seen my dms yet

[harsh dove]

I mean the stock stabs are fine really

Just have to lube and tune them

[neon harbor]

Tune?

[agile grove]

they really arent

[harsh dove]

https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8?si=2LW9kkJTstkgRMIg

[neon harbor]

would you say they are on par?

[agile grove]

yes

[neon harbor]

jesus christ new chapter unlocked

I only thought you can onl- whatever

[harsh dove]

Yeah takes a few mins

[polar girder]

Yeah my module comes today

Going to switch to TX AP clip ins for the friction mount

Gonna have to lube and tune those things. First timer

[agile grove]

I dont have a syringe to tune my stabs 😔

[polar girder]

Needs syringe?

[paper bloom]

Somethin like a syringe

[neon harbor]

I just remembered I have some in my medi kit lol

[agile grove]

you actually only need the clip in on the delete key (if you're willing to mess with the o-ring by the spacebar). I'd sorta recommend doing this since the stock stabs sound really good (and the spacebar can be tricky to get sounding good), but if you cant get the o-ring to sit right under the plate the spacebar keycap will hit it.

[paper bloom]

@harsh dove sorry 4 the ping howd u manage to install the clip ins for ur TX AP

[harsh dove]

Don’t need one

[agile grove]

you dont?

[harsh dove]

Can just use a brush or if you have dielectric grease like he does, you just stick the wire in the tube

[harsh dove]

Like normal

[neon harbor]

im assuming you can disassemble plate mounted stabs too?

[paper bloom]

O i c

[neon harbor]

the ones the guy is using are screw ins

[agile grove]

gotcha so just brush some 205g0 on?

[paper bloom]

Thats one way luigi

[paper bloom]

Shld be a lever on the stabs for plate mounts not sure

[polar girder]

Yeah screwins would be nice. Maybe I’ll just try that one first thanks.

[harsh dove]

Only on the stems, not for the wire

You can for the wire but it’s not ideal

Better to use something thicker like molykote or dielectric grease

[agile grove]

I dont have either of those unfortunately. my friends just dipped the wire into the tub of 205g0 and it seems like their stabs were fine

[harsh dove]

Yeah just do that then

Just know that it settles quickly and can end up on your PCB which is fine, just can be messy

[agile grove]

I'll probably brush it on for my TX AP stabs tho since I've heard the tolerances are pretty tight

[agile grove]

yeah when they did it they got lube all over their hands but in the end it was fine

[harsh dove]

https://a.co/d/8X2t9MF

If you guys wanted to get some

[young lantern]

so for my module was planning on flipping my jade switches to south facing

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

[agile grove]

why?

[young lantern]

gmk

[agile grove]

there shouldnt be any issues with GMK keycaps

[young lantern]

i know new molds arent supposed to have clearance issues

[agile grove]

plenty of people use them without issue

[harsh dove]

They don’t

I own multiple GMK sets and have them on my wootings north facing

[young lantern]

anyway question being is that even recommended? says in the link above that it could damage pcb but ive never heard about that before and i saw brian from badseed do it too

https://youtu.be/igy_n3f7VeI?si=cz8u7ee7edBh1SeS

[young lantern]

gotcha

just confirming though if i did there wouldnt be any problems

[harsh dove]

Yeah there’s no longer issues, they’ve changed the tolerances

[young lantern]

gotcha

i was planning on having a red rgb profile like this

tofu redux and gmk zen pond

better north or south? north right

[harsh dove]

If you’re going to use RGB then do north facing

[young lantern]

thanks cam

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/sidney-poitier-buck-and-the-preacher-tip-your-hat-good-luck-cowboy-gif-20356786

[mental salmon]

But helps you to tune the stabs a bit if needed without disassembling all the keyboard again, also easy to get and cheap, but I used it with dielectric grease, krytox with brushes only

[crimson sky]

that is no rgb it all

but a red plate

[young lantern]

LOL no way

[crimson sky]

just has a lot of light over it

so you can see it more easily

[young lantern]

thanks for letting me know 😅 but my point still stands lol north facing fs for the outline

[crimson sky]

tbh

have mine south facing

for a bit of glow that is more than enough

even with the raptors

[young lantern]

so it doesnt matter either way

thanks guys

[harsh dove]

Lmao I didn’t even bother to look at the photo but yeah that is a red plate

[neon harbor]

did this. its insane how well it improved the sound and type feel

[harsh dove]

And yeah basically doesn’t

Up to you at the end of the day

[neon harbor]

I gave a lot of love to my delete key. its amazing

[harsh dove]

Yeah I’m pretty happy with my stabs

Probs do a sound test later today

Since I haven’t made one since I modded it

[neon harbor]

Legit had no idea one could 'tune' them as well

[harsh dove]

KS20u Dual Rails should be here soon

Just left Chicago

[neon harbor]

dual rai what

[harsh dove]

And then I’ll have 5 different HE switches

[neon harbor]

oh

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/dance-gif-14880344851904561392

[neon harbor]

I am happing with the wooting L60s

happing what the fuck am I typing

Happy*

[harsh dove]

Lmao

[median spade]

and they all still suck compared to MX

[neon harbor]

cry about it

[harsh dove]

They don’t suck in gaming performance

https://tenor.com/view/wink-eye-wink-gif-12352742718877841322

[median spade]

bro is 12

[neon harbor]

I defo am, yes

[median spade]

tik tok brain for sure

[neon harbor]

I most def use that platform, yes

You are spot on

[median spade]

it's true im number #1 in na on all games now

[harsh dove]

See

And they last longer

[median spade]

oh yeah mx stuff already lasts long tho so that not a big thing haha

most people would die before seeing their mx switch fail

[harsh dove]

Lmao yeah but marketing

[stark osprey]

Wooting x Cerakey

[untold wigeon]

upload a sound test pls

[stark osprey]

Ill have to do that later, friend has my mic atm. It sounds different, in a good way I think, like tapping on a vase 😂

[waxen bane]

Those must sound so good with jades

[formal tapir]

are matrix keycaps good

[harsh dove]

But they don’t feel good lol

[waxen bane]

Ceramic keycaps?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

I mean it’s subjective

I don’t think they feel good for gaming

Unless you like slippery keys

And they’re heavy

But again, you might like that

[eager ore]

Just ordered my wooting anyone have some cool looking keycap replacement ideas? I dont know anything about modding keyboards lol

[harsh dove]

Are you looking for anything in particular ?

https://www.melgeek.com/blogs/guide/the-type-of-keycaps-profiles

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

Keeb parts vendors based on region and reputability

[eager ore]

Not really sure tbh I like the blank keycaps with the letters on the sides. However I read a lot of mixed reviews on keycaps rubbing off really quickly :x

[harsh dove]

Rubbing off quickly for the side printed legends or in general?

[eager ore]

general

I like to change the RBG color layout of my setup often so I want something sleek but neutral

[harsh dove]

You mean like the legends rubbing off?

[eager ore]

Dont wanna get tied into one color scheme

[harsh dove]

If you get a decently high quality set, the legends won’t rub off

[eager ore]

idk I've read certain material causes the keycaps to become "shiney" really quick? O.o

[harsh dove]

Oh that’s ABS

some people embrace the shine

Some don’t like it

[eager ore]

So what material am I looking for

[harsh dove]

If you’re worried about shine then go for PBT

I really like Wuque Studio keycaps

[teal parcel]

I was just going to ask you if you got them yet lol. Waiting on that review. Getting my module today. Not going to lube the lekkers until I know if I wanna buy the ks20. Ain’t tryna lube twice

[harsh dove]

lol yeah I’ll let you guys know soon as I get em

[eager ore]

Yo I had a question about lubing too how neccesary is it? >_>

[teal parcel]

It’s not necessary, it’s only if you wanna make it feel “smoother” and changes sound a bit

[harsh dove]

It’s not completely necessary if your switches come with good factory lube job but otherwise it can make quite the difference @eager ore

[teal parcel]

I usually like to film and lube all my switches even when they come “pre lube”

Hand lube will always be more consistent

[harsh dove]

Yeah I usually hand lube all of mine

Only ones I haven’t hand lubed fully are the Jades

My batch seemed pretty consistent

[teal parcel]

Its not fun hand lubing tho 😔 @eager ore so if you wanna spend few hours doing it lol

[waxen bane]

If I want to just lube my stabs what do I do if I don’t want to spend a lot of money

[bitter valve]

Dialectic grease probably your best bet

If you have leftover 205 from lubing the switches you can use that

[waxen bane]

Anyone think wd40 might work?

[bitter valve]

It will not, it’s not a lubricant

[languid kestrel]

and not a grease at any rate

you want thick grease for the stabs, pretty much anything works, dielectric, silicone and lithium grease are all next to nothing and work perfectly fine

[harsh dove]

https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8?si=JRzxGVaN5cVHufog

[waxen bane]

thx for the video

I noticed the stabs on my module sucked

[harsh dove]

How do they suck?

[uncut musk]

yeah these are actually pretty decent stock stabs

[median spade]

Mine would rattle/tick fairly quickly tbh even with tape and making them rock solid on the plate

Had some durocks ones I used before getting tx ap and were much better

My unit from like October 2022 or something so idk if much changed after that for stabs

[bleak steeple]

does anyone have the link to the module setup guide? i cant seem to find it, and i just got my module and alumaze case (first time keyboard build)

[harsh dove]

From my experience and gathered knowledge, the durocks are almost identical to the stock stabs

Stock stabs are pretty good after a good lubing and tuning

May require more tuning than TX AP but user experience varies

End result is really the same once done correctly

[median spade]

Yeah newer batches probably better then

Tuned them same way I did all my other boards and they would start ticking in a short amount of time. Durcoks were a little better, but TX of course been ez mode

[harsh dove]

Yeah fair enough

[halcyon sparrow]

They have a very high pitch ting sound

[harsh dove]

Did you lube and tune them?

[halcyon sparrow]

No I plan on doing so to removie the sound

[harsh dove]

Well then that doesn’t mean they suck

Just need to be lubed and tuned properly

[sweet cedar]

for some reason my right shift and enter keys arent working with north facing jades

anyone else have that issue

they work fine with south facing tho

they just get stuck on the bottom when they r north facing

[harsh dove]

Something to keep in mind when it comes to stock/factory lube is that at first it could actually be good but as that package travels across the world or wherever, it gets moved around a lot (or thrown) and is put on multiple vehicles where it experiences vibrations and what not and that lube or grease settles and depending on how that package is orientated. That lube or grease can settle unevenly, resulting it what seems like a bad factory lube job when your receive your package.

[sweet cedar]

also @harsh dove u lubed ur jades right

[harsh dove]

Not fully

[sweet cedar]

wdym

[harsh dove]

I only did the bottom housing

Nothing else

[sweet cedar]

oh why

i was planning on lubing springs

[harsh dove]

Just didn’t have time and haven’t done it since

Otherwise I would do the springs and such

[bleak steeple]

hi guys

question

i don’t have to worry about the middle standoff right? like i don’t have to screw a screw in it?

[harsh dove]

No you don’t

[bleak steeple]

okay perfect thanks so much!

[devout torrent]

[gaunt linden]

Are these worth upgrading from the dt990 pros?

[halcyon obsidian]

I've never had them so I couldn't say, but probably not

[halcyon obsidian]

for me personally tho the larger cushions seemed nice and the detachable cable was a must for me as in the past I had a cat who made me go wireless

[sweet cedar]

i just disassembled my jades and im wondering if i should clean the factory lube off bc im completely relubing them

[harsh dove]

I usually lube right over the top of the factory lube

[sweet cedar]

okay cool

[sharp yew]

990s are great cans you know

[fallen willow]

Any recommendations for custom keycap sites from europe

Yeah it looks amazing

[high scarab]

looks cool

[halcyon obsidian]

This might be a dumb question but I have never used wootility do I have to like change the switch to jades in the program?

Friction mount with screw in stabilizers??

[sharp yew]

[uncut musk]

someone should test this

[agile grove]

no

[sweet cedar]

is there anything i can do to get this bottom housing off without taking out pcb and plate

[normal schooner]

no thats not recommanded

[quiet bay]

take it out like a normal switch

[ionic heath]

I planned to burger mount in the stock wooting case, is that recommended or would it be too difficult to line the usbc port back up? I don't want to have to crank it down and risk warping or damaging something.

[sweet cedar]

i cant

[quiet bay]

u know how u press in the little pins to take out a switch

I think if u were to press in both of them

[sweet cedar]

yea ik but its not rly working without the top housing

the pins r just bending

[quiet bay]

ye top housing does help

[quiet bay]

hmm

are you able to bend the pins while using ur other hand to take it out a bit

[fluid ravine]

me being confused

[fluid ravine]

cute pfp haha

[normal schooner]

if you are going to do all remove the plate from the case

this way youre just damaging stuff

[sweet cedar]

i just got it out

[fluid ravine]

oh i am so blind

just saw that

haha

[sweet cedar]

kinda messed up one of the pins but i have a lot extra so its fine

[sweet cedar]

thank you

[sweet cedar]

dont have my screwdriver and didnt rly care ab damaging one bottom housing just wanted it out

[quiet bay]

👍

I tried to recreate the problem

and also ended up breakin the pin LOL

[sweet cedar]

😭😭😭im sorry

[fluid ravine]

girll--

my turn :D

[quiet bay]

it's cool I forgot how fragile switches were lmao

[quiet bay]

yezz ty made it on my own 😎

[fluid ravine]

its really clean

[ionic heath]

Is there a certain kind of dialectric grease i should get for stabs?

[fluid ravine]

its just dielectric grease

but to answer your question ig
Permatex Dielectric grease

[ionic heath]

Well this stuff is 3 bucks at walmart

But i see the regular stuff too

[ionic heath]

Alright ill get some of that

[static tendon]

Just curious but why use Dielectric grease when you can just use kyrtox 205g0?

[ionic heath]

From what ive read dialectric is more for metal on plastic contact

like tha wire

krytox for the housing

[static tendon]

I have it as well. This exact one. I think Krytox 205g0 is far better and it also saves money to not have to get additoinal grease for just stabs specifically

[fluid ravine]

The reason why people don't recommend using kyrtox 205g0 on wires because it's too thin and it's also expensive

[static tendon]

You lube once and never again

[quiet bay]

its good to have thicker lube for stabs

[static tendon]

It makes more sluggish, krytox 205g0 I think is better

From personal experience^

[quiet bay]

personal preference ig

[fluid ravine]

stab wires need thicker lube to eliminate rattle

[quiet bay]

I just think 205g0 is too thin

[static tendon]

I have that dielectric grease just laying around for the past 4 years

[fluid ravine]

honestly, use a light amount and just break it in overtime

[static tendon]

Even taeha types uses 205g0 over that grease

[harsh dove]

One of the keyboard gods recommends Dielectric over 205

Alexotos

In his stab tuning video

https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8?si=e-ZMsC5NozmVjNCw

And he explains why

[static tendon]

I see, I would still personally prefer 2050. Dialectric grease is wayyy too thick for stabs in my opinion. If you're L45's I think you'll really notice the grease over the 205g0

If you have really heavy springs that I can see the grease being nice but most people here use lighter springs

[harsh dove]

You can use 205g0 with no issues

But most prefer something thicker

[static tendon]

Yes correct, it also saves you from buying more grease if you already have the 205g0

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[fluid ravine]

I had a thought of using krytox on the TX AP stabs due to the stem thickness increase which has tighter tolerance but i still went with grease and break in over time to maintain it if that makes sense

which probably doesn't

[static tendon]

Gotcha, if unsure. Just test out both. Kytox to me is the clear winner for stabs (preference though)

[harsh dove]

Welp, I was gonna send you guys a pic but the stabs are bothering me

Time to tune lol

[fluid ravine]

What happen to it

[sonic hull]

[harsh dove]

Backspace is sticky ever so slightly on my regular wooting60he

and the enter sounds inconsistent to the rest of the stabs

but ima just redo all of them

so im cleaning them now

[fluid ravine]

us fr

[harsh dove]

lmao

[mental salmon]

Grease is way cheaper than Krytox

[harsh dove]

It is

but he's saying if you already have it

[static tendon]

Not exactly. If you already have kytox 205g0 then it's cheaper to just re-use that. Those who go the lengths of lubing their stabs will also go lengths to lube their switches and already have it on hand

I was in the same boat, I already had 205g0 and decided it would be worth getting dialectric grease for stabs alone, it was not worth it in my opinion. Just wasted more money and now have it sitting around for the past 4 years or so

[mental salmon]

I have a very small amount of Krytox left, I got grease for the wires, still using Krytox for the housing, the improvement in the stabs was great

[static tendon]

For it to be worth it to have dialectric grease, you'd need to lube like 100 set of stabs

[harsh dove]

I would say if you plan to build multiple boards, buy grease, if you're just doing one board, the 205 is likely fine, if you are doing just one board but not happy with the 205, then you can get like 0.3oz of grease for like $5

[static tendon]

Yeah for sure, it can help reduce rattle either way you go. But I personally prefer the 205g0

[mental salmon]

A while back I did the stabs of my gmmk pro only with Krytox because I did not have any other lube, but at he end it will cost you more

[static tendon]

Only if you lube a buuuunch of stabs

Most people here lube stabs once and never touch it again

[harsh dove]

Yeah and for a lot of people this is their first custom

[static tendon]

Exactly

Plus Krytox 205g0 is pretty cheap, you can get just small amount for like 8$ or so

That'll lube you like 10 sets of stabs easy

[ionic heath]

Will this stuff be alright?

[mental salmon]

Krytox left vs grease left 🙂 I prefer to keep the small amount left for the next switches I buy

[ionic heath]

Ima take that as a yes

Does burger mount make a noticeable change to the sound?

I assume no

[static tendon]

Yeah no doubt that grease can last you a lifetime

[harsh dove]

Yeah I mean you basically buy grease once and never again if you get the 3oz tube or bigger

Once you've done like 50+ boards, you might need some more, maybe

probably closer to 100

[sharp yew]

i forgot how crazy the pom jelly keys sounded

[viral island]

anyone know how to fix stab ticking? my right shift and enter key tick only in the top left of the key. I've tried adding more lube to the stab but it hasnt worked so far.

[harsh dove]

Could try and see if the wires balanced

[viral island]

i'll try and check. added all the switches in assuming that the stabs were fine now gotta take them all out 😭

[sharp yew]

module is bottom

[gleaming crane]

I spent like 3 hours balancing my spacebar wire

Definitely worth tho

[teal parcel]

do we need the 3 stand off if we gummy mounting?

[quiet bay]

no

[teal parcel]

so instead of the 3 stand offs we just use the o ring to hold in correct and i don't have to screw in the pcb into case @quiet bay

[quiet bay]

yes gummy mounting is a friction mount and doesn't require any screws

[teal parcel]

okay thank you

[waxen bane]

Okay now I don’t even want to risk doing this to lube my stabs

[teal parcel]

its just a hasstle i just finished mine like prob an hour ago

but def is good

[waxen bane]

should I brush some grease in and call it a day?

Or is it worth taking out the stabs

[teal parcel]

i would always reccomend doing it

you spent like hundreds of dollars might as well make it great

not necc to do it as well i saw the ones that came on it already had lube

[junior meadow]

Currently installing Staebies into my Wooting and not getting any bounce back after the key is pressed. Anyone have staebies and can give feedback back? I guess I could have over lubed every stab out of excitement but I feel it’s unlikely.

[agile grove]

take the keycap and switch out, send a pic of the hole where the switch goes

also, try and see if it works with a keycap and stab with no switch

[tawdry tree]

Oh no..

[junior meadow]

Did I make a dumb mistake lmfao

[tawdry tree]

I don’t think so. I have a hunch but I hope not.

Did you removed the keycap and switch?

Then you can check if your PC Switch Plate looks like this:

[median spade]

too much lube, spring might be too light for keycaps, or plate tolerances causing the issue

it's one of those three

most likely it's what aligner is saying and that would fall into the plate tolerances category

[junior meadow]

I’m thinking over lubed…

[tawdry tree]

WHAAAA THE PINS

[tawdry tree]

Put a keycap on it without the switch and see if the stabs can move smoothly up and down.

[junior meadow]

No switch

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, it’s the switch plate. I presume it pushes the staebies too close to each other so when you put a keycap in it becomes extremely tight. You’ll need to remove the switch plate anyway so do that and test again with a keycap.

[junior meadow]

I’ll remove plate and try again, one min

[static tendon]

Wow this makes me want the salvation even more 😮

[tawdry tree]

Does anyone know the standards of stabilizer holes? The measurements so I can compare.

Can’t seem to find much on it online but I know most use cherry standard.

[harsh dove]

Staebies are kind of known to have some compatibility issues tbh

[junior meadow]

First time rocking staebies and was excited, I’ll try with no plate and throw a Wooting stab on and compare

[harsh dove]

Have you tried removing the keycap and using some tweezers to pull the stabilizer stem up and down?

Just to see if it works smoothly that way or not

[tawdry tree]

I presume it’ll be smooth without the plate.

[harsh dove]

Which keycaps are you using?

[tawdry tree]

Without the keycap it’s fine. When you put the keycap on it pushes the stab stems outward, tight against the stab housings.

[cyan adder]

Big rip I finally decided to order gateron jades switches… Chinese New year holiday, they ship orders on 18-19th February

That’s how fate punished me for hesitating too long

[tawdry tree]

No local seller?

[tawdry tree]

It do be like that sometimes.

[harsh dove]

If it does it on all of the stabs, it's probably the stabs and the plate tolerances tbh

It's probably not your keycaps

[cyan adder]

Not in France, not even in Europe rip

[tawdry tree]

Look at the plate pins.

[harsh dove]

Yeah I saw

[tawdry tree]

Bummer

[harsh dove]

Bent inward

or outward rather

lol either way

[cyan adder]

I guess I’m just gonna stick with my switch tape modded lekker for another month

[tawdry tree]

You can see, the stab stem sits tight against the outer wall on both stabs. The keycap pushes the stab stems against the walls causing friction.

[tawdry tree]

CNY is over in two weeks, a little wait but it’s worth it IMO.

[cyan adder]

Just started yesterday, if I’ve knew

[junior meadow]

I think it is a mix of over lubed and plate tolerances

But I’m no professional

@tawdry tree

[junior meadow]

I see what you are talking about

So staebies don’t work with Wooting PC plate. Did I discover something for the people’s

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, the fact that all but space actually move suggests plate. I’d unscrew all stabs, take out the stab stem and wipe the lube off with a warm damp cloth, then reassemble.

Or use the stock stabs and call it a day.

[junior meadow]

Im thinking of using stock stabs and cleaning this up and putting them in my work keyboard

[fluid ravine]

Have you tried it without any lube?

[junior meadow]

I have not

[fluid ravine]

Tolerance seems tight, I dont think there's any problem with the lube but damn thats unlucky man

[junior meadow]

Unlucky or just not compatible?

[tawdry tree]

Yeah might be best. It could be that even if you removed a bit of lube on the stems it’d still not work well because of the plate.

[fluid ravine]

I had this problem momentarily with TX AP Plate mount stabs

but i managed to fix it

but yeah try to wipe everything off like aligner said and use everything as stock

[tawdry tree]

Haven’t gotten mine in yet but I think not compatible unless you sand the stab holes bigger.

[fluid ravine]

no lube or grease

see if they work, if not then its probably tolerance issues

[tawdry tree]

Only if he ain’t tried yet, otherwise just stock stabs will do. 😂

[fluid ravine]

lel

[junior meadow]

Stock stabs are fine right? lol

[fluid ravine]

yeah the stock stabs are fine

[fluid ravine]

but wipe off the lube and grease from your stabies and test them stock without lube or grease

see if they work

[junior meadow]

I just don’t want to clean a stab and reassemble to disassemble again lmfao

I will though. For science

[fluid ravine]

best to know ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tawdry tree]

Only if you want to

[junior meadow]

If it saves someone else a headache, I’ll spend the 20 mins really quick

[fluid ravine]

Stabies are screw ins right?

[tawdry tree]

Yes

[junior meadow]

No lube, no plate

No lube with plate. Plate is not screwed in

@tawdry tree @fluid ravine

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, as I thought. What happens with some TX stabilizers happens with Staebies too.

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-why-pepe-the-frog-sad-crying-gif-16026853

[fluid ravine]

Plate it is

tolerance it is

FAK

[junior meadow]

So Staebies on not compatible with Wooting plate, unless the plate pins are sanded down?

Or TX stabs in general

[tawdry tree]

Yes. The plate has to be sanded for them to fit.

[tawdry tree]

This happens with some TX stabilizers too.

[junior meadow]

Well I’m happy that you guys help me find this out. Maybe this can be made more public so others don’t run into the same issue. Stock stabs it is! Lmfao

You guys saved me a lot of time. Thank you

[tawdry tree]

I’ve been trying to get a stabilizer compatibility list man.. 🤣🤣🤣

save me the trouble with money, time, USPS, and stabs ig

[junior meadow]

Pros and cons of being the first batch amirite

@ Wooting, send me Module Plate V2 first please 🥰🤣

[fluid ravine]

lmao

order the black pc plate fr

[tawdry tree]

Take of the minute; the module should’ve come with a PC plate that didn’t support plate mounted stabilizers.

[junior meadow]

I don’t know enough about keyboards, is that the reason? Because the plate is compatible with both?

[tawdry tree]

Nobody in their right mind uses plate mounted stabilizers on a keyboard with PCB mount support.

[tawdry tree]

I assume they wanted one PC plate mold that support both the 60HE and 60HE+ (Screw Ins) so because of that they made the holes tight so plate mounted stabs sit sturdy in the plate.

Don’t get me wrong, there are many boards that support plate mounted and PCB mounted stabs but then the plate mounted stabs don’t sit as tight as they do with Wooting’s plate. BUT they do support TX and Staebies.

[teal parcel]

Finished the board today

Last update, @fluid ravine @tawdry tree

Stock stabs

[tawdry tree]

“👎” 🤣

[polar girder]

Yo bro @fluid ravine should I get this and just keep it screw in?

[tawdry tree]

You’ll have use for those Staebies in your other board right?

[polar girder]

I feel like that thumbs down is maybe mostly for the switches and not the stabs lol

I could be wrong

[junior meadow]

I’ll either use them in my other board and take out the durocks or keep them and buy a 2nd plate once more support comes out

[tawdry tree]

The Staebies aren’t compatible with Wooting’s plates.

[polar girder]

Oh gotcha. Yeah I wasn’t really abreast of what was happening. My bad lol

[junior meadow]

It’s first batch of the module. I can’t really complain that they wouldn’t work. I am the guinea pig

[tawdry tree]

I hope they’ll make a V2 but I highly doubt it. 🥲

[junior meadow]

Maybe it’s just copium, but the whole point of the module was to mod. If we can’t use “high end” stabs. Then what is the point of modding it

[tawdry tree]

I agree but I also know that changing a mold isn’t that easy and if they want that tightness for the plate mounted stabilizers then they’ll have to make a second mold.. 😬

I really do hope they will though.

[junior meadow]

If they don’t, KBD will or some other company

[tawdry tree]

KBD has a plate already but I’m not sure if theirs has the same problem as it was made for the old 60HE with only plate mounted stabilizer support.

[fluid ravine]

KBD plates are just straight up wack when it came to user report holy

either fit too tight or way too loose

gahd

[fluid ravine]

interesting

should try it

im curious, if it works then, mooni saved

:)

[uncut musk]

i want to try it too

[young zenith]

do i need long pole stabs if i put gateron he jades in my wooting he module board?

[tawdry tree]

If you plan to use stock keycaps, no.

If you plan to use 3rd party keycaps then if those keycaps are lose you might need the long poles but that is a big if.

[polar girder]

Mooni saved for future generations

[fluid ravine]

[polar girder]

But ok bro I’ll order it

If I don’t have to swap stabs I’m a happy man

Which softness?

I forget which one mine is lol

[fluid ravine]

uhhhhhh

what they hab

try something between 30-50

40a if they hab

[fluid ravine]

fortyyy

:p

[polar girder]

ok done

I also have to buy new PSU x.x

my computer been crashing on full defaults. very sad.

[junior meadow]

For my own knowledge, what’s the o rings for?

[lost badge]

was gonna ask lol

[fluid ravine]

#🪛│modding_faq message "Gummy O'ring Mounting"

[lost badge]

i saw it but does it help with the feel or the noise

[polar girder]

I just like it

kind of both

I tried it and prefered it so just kept it

and I would like to keep it in to module swap

this new "Small" is supposed to work with screw-in stabalizers

which would be sweet so I wouldn't have to change some to clip-ins and I can just keep the screw-ins

there's no real contact points with friction mounting

so it's a pretty even typing experience

which is nice

[lost badge]

i understand the size part but what the hardness of the ring gonna do

[junior meadow]

I’d assume adjust frequency and feel of typing. The ring would be the contact point vs the screw on the stock Wooting

[teal parcel]

@fluid ravine when we gummy mount and want to remove the pcb what is the best way of removing it? it was a snug fit to push everything in. i have the 50a o ring

[tawdry tree]

Correct.

[junior meadow]

Ayyyy I’m learning 💪

[lost badge]

is it gonna work on the module too?

i feel like im at school now

[median spade]

Turn upside down and shake or pull out two keys next to space bar and pull up

[teal parcel]

thanks boss

[fluid ravine]

If you have a really snugged friction mount (mounting with plate foam for example), I'd recommend taking out 2 keys from each side like the windows key and right Ctrl and use your fingers to pull up.

But to make your life easier I wouldn't use any plate foam at all as you can pull it up from your space bar keycap

Slides right out without too much effort

Fyi silicone pad won't work with gummy mount

[polar girder]

yeah i'm gonna try no plate foam and poly fill

[teal parcel]

right now i'm using the foam not the silicon to gummy mount

[ionic heath]

Should i holee mod with 205g0, holee mod with dialectric grease, or no holee mod with dialectric grease?

[tawdry tree]

Either no holee with dielectric or holee with 205 would be my recommendation.

[ionic heath]

any one in particular?

i plan to mod everthing tmrrw

[tawdry tree]

Which stabs do you have? Stock?

[ionic heath]

yeah

[tawdry tree]

Dielectric is a lot easier and faster do to for a great result.

[ionic heath]

alr thanks!

[tawdry tree]

Be sure to clean the pre applied lube off first, you can do so with a warm damp towel/microfiber cloth.

[ionic heath]

i was gonna soak it all and toothbrush

[tawdry tree]

That works as well if you dry thoroughly dry everything after.

You don’t want anything wet on your PCB.

[ionic heath]

right

i waS gonna let them air dry while i lubed the new switches

do i have to clean the factory lube off my jades or am i good to just apply my own?

[tawdry tree]

You can add your own 205.

Jades are prelubed with 205 so that’s no problem.

Mixing 205 with dielectric can be a problem though. 😂

[ionic heath]

yeah

this will be my first time so ill be at it for a while

[tawdry tree]

I’m not sure if they’ll be dry by then but just check to make sure alright?

[tawdry tree]

All good, just take your time!

And best of luck!

[ionic heath]

thanks!

oh also

Im gonna bag lube springs, is it a bad idea to do all 60 at once? I dont wanna ruin any of them.

[tawdry tree]

That’s fine, not with 205 though.

[ionic heath]

yeaH i have gpl 105 i think

[tawdry tree]

Yeah perfect!

[marsh olive]

Met a dude who had custom low profile switches with transperant keycaps on his framework laptop today in a programming course. I’m definitely gonna flex my new modded 60HE+ module with lubed ks-20s on him next time I see him Patrick Bateman style

is there any he switch coming out in the moment. Should i wait or get the jades

[tawdry tree]

KS-20U is out, kinda. It’s not widely available yet but it’s the improved KS-20/Lekker switch basically.

[empty sinew]

one question guys, I forgot to order the toolset and got only the lubs, for lubing the switches is there a way to easily open them without that tool?

[bronze grove]

You'll want the tools, whether from us or elsewhere.

[gloomy stratus]

how do i take the pcb out after o-ring mounting? 😅

[empty sinew]

Thing is I accidently chosen the wrong lube package 😂

But doesnt seem to be possible to swap anymore, and reordering only tools is another shipping cost

You asked if it was easy to open without tools - It is not. That's the answer I gave you.
If the order hasn't already shipped, reach out to us via the hub (and put the order on hold)

https://hub.wooting.io/

Dont wanna prolong the shipment its pick and pack

And ive sent email to contact us asking if its possible to modify existing package

But havent got an answer yet

[bronze grove]

Did you put the order on hold?

[empty sinew]

No

[bronze grove]

Cause if you didn't it may ship before we reach back out.

[empty sinew]

Its fine, I dont wanna delay the whole order because of the tools

Was only thinking if i could quickly swap

hey. I have just recieved the wooting module. I am using the tofu redux case. What are the golden screws for?

[bronze grove]

Optional standoffs.

60HE uses 5 mounting points. Two on the left edge, two on the right - and right next to spacebar.

[hexed niche]

Where would you suggest placing them? As i've got only 3 with the redux case

[thick mural]

you can use the middle too if you like

just screw it in the the threaded holes on the case

the tofu's screws are great because it prevents you from over tightening

it bottoms out before then

[bronze grove]

Just the one on spacebar.

To match

[hexed niche]

Use just one? Like that?

[wispy hazel]

if I am buying pc plate kit and L45 I won't need switch puller right?

[bronze grove]

Only if you need to pull them off later.

If it's any stronger than blue painter's tape, it's probably too much.

It has barely any stick.

Different purposes of tape.

[thick mural]

painters tape

wdym

you can alao just buy keebtape

i personally use keebtape

it's not very sticky and pretty thick

more convenient

but yeah try getting blue painters tape

[quasi topaz]

@bronze grove i’m not sure if you saw the discussion last night. The module PC plate is not compatible with staebies screw in stabs, and people suspect it won’t be compatible with most TX style stabs I just wanted to make this more known so that way other people didn’t waste money or time or resources. Trying to prevent a future headache.

[quasi topaz]

thats so cool

Modding is Thock's domain.

ive had my wooting for a few months now and just left it with the factory lube, its now not as smooth and sounds worse, how hard is it to lube manually for a first timer?

Not hard, but time consuming.

I spent... 4-5 hours on my 60HE the first time around. Had some Netflix going in the back.

[tame tartan]

thank you; 4-5 hours straight? damn idk if i have the patience for that lol

[bronze grove]

Can always do it in batches. Start with WASD, ctrl, spacebar and such. Then do the number row another day and so on.

[tame tartan]

yea i think i might just do it like that, i knew it took a while just didnt know it was that much as a WHILE lol

[bronze grove]

I am slow and methodical 😄

And I lubed everything quite a bit. There are some shortcuts.

Module PC plate isn’t any different from the standalone one you can buy. So the PC Plate works with TX AP Plate Mount, I just recently tried it with TX AP Clip Ins and it works fine as well. Only thing I have to test now is TX AP Screw Ins which will be here Thursday

But I know a few people have had issues with the tx ap screw ins which is why I’m testing them

And tbf I figured Staebies wouldn’t work, I probably would’ve recommend you not buy them if I knew you were beforehand

[agile grove]

my module didnt work with my TX AP spacebar

but my delete key is fine

(clip in)

[harsh dove]

Which variant tho

Okay

Yeah my clip ins are fine

[agile grove]

they must have some really inconsistent molding

[harsh dove]

I doubt it tbh
