1.6

wooting pcb is 1.6mm thick

[upper tusk]

Ok thanks

[paper bloom]

Wooting is 100% faster

You hear it from me buddy, I move faster and do things faster You will never go back to other keyboards

Now we shall wait and see if Wooting will do a wireless keyboard or not 😂

[lapis stump]

yeah phone mics really cant record the differences but its so obvious in person
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0AADO7oBjw

[sharp yew]

that damn port

[tawdry tree]

Weird, I tried a few in the ATK but they didn’t seem to do anything. I also noticed they were extremely tight in the ATK’s switch plate and I think it’s to do with the switches as none of my switch openers worked on them, so not really sure what Outemu did. 😂

[median spade]

I feel like it makes it more deep/wet sounding in person? Not a huge fan of doing the friction mount when it's not designed for it for that reason

[lapis stump]

could also be the fact that I had to take out the poron plate foam so that i can get the board in and back out easier, it probably filters alot of that "wet" sound youre describing

[paper bloom]

Anyone tried the wilba cases for the 60HE?

Any good innit ?

[agile grove]

I use the foam pad and im not really sure what "wet" sound you're referring to

[median spade]

Just wh en doing the friction mount in cases not designed for it

[agile grove]

I know a good few people use the salvation

[median spade]

just adds a deeper or wet sound

[agile grove]

yeah I like the deeper sound

also removes some ping

[harsh dove]

It’s not the switch, it’s the firmware, Wooting has the fastest 1k scanning board (most optimized)

And also not just “any HE” switch will work with wooting

Has to have same magnet polarity and such

Few of the new HE switches have reversed polarity

Can always check the #🪛│modding_faq for updates

[harsh dove]

Is 60a the only o ring you tried?

Can’t remember if you tried diff hardness rings

[lapis stump]

sorry just realized i had a brain fart while making this. I only have a blue 40a and gray 65a not a 60

I wasn't a big fan of 60, it seems to tighten up the sound a lot more on the board

[harsh dove]

Oh okay

Yeah

[lapis stump]

and it was harder to remove from my case

[harsh dove]

I was also gonna say it’s probably easier to take out with the 40a

Like for me with the 30a, my board will almost come out of my case upside down but with 40a it doesn’t

[lapis stump]

yeah i did the color schemes mostly cause of my acrylic, the blue and gray seems the least impactful

[harsh dove]

Yeah I can see that

[lapis stump]

the most issue i have is around the space bar area, the ring has a hard time wedging down

sometimes i over press with a keycap puller and it goes below the pcb lol

[harsh dove]

Lol I was gonna make a video doing it on my Alumaze for you cause I seen you having a bit of trouble yesterday but you seem to have gotten it lol

[stray tiger]

Plate mount or clip-in stabs would help that

[lapis stump]

yeah i know but i didnt feel like buying anything else and it still works fine, the stock stabs for the 60HE}+ are surprisingly non rattely

i have some plate mount ones from previous customs i can do later

[harsh dove]

You’re using the module with screw ins?

[lapis stump]

yep

[harsh dove]

Oh okay so you’re using the S rings

I still need to test those

And the tx ap screw ins

Gonna do that today I think

[lapis stump]

i heard the tx stabs with clips ins ones allow for more clearance for the gummy, according to badseedtech

[stray tiger]

clip ins and plate mount allow for a much better o-ring fit

[lapis stump]

did i hear that the pc plate that comes with the he module doesnt really support plate mount stabs?

or am I thinking about something else

[stray tiger]

It supports them fully

[harsh dove]

Yeah I’m using tx ap clips in currently

No gummy mount tho

[agile grove]

or... it should- some people have issues others dont

[harsh dove]

Issues with what?

[agile grove]

the module fitting stabs

or the pc plate in general

[harsh dove]

Oh it’s only tx ap stabs and it’s only for screw in and clip ins not plate mount

And staebies

[agile grove]

pretty sure someone had issues with plate mount

[harsh dove]

That’s weird

It’s the same plate

[agile grove]

it sure is

[harsh dove]

As the regular 60HE

[agile grove]

nah the regular 60he has steel

module has PC plate

[harsh dove]

Right but it’s the same tolerance just about

So I don’t see why plate mount wouldn’t work

Unless user error

[agile grove]

fair

yeah im not sure, tbf this is all hearsay

so it could be wrong

[harsh dove]

Yeah I get you

[agile grove]

guaranteed compatibility would be using gateron's plate mount stabs

[harsh dove]

Or wootings which I’m pretty sure are Gateron lol

[agile grove]

ye, but MrPew has the module so they dont have wooting's plate mount stabs

[paper bloom]

Ah nice

[median spade]

selling my 60he and getting 80he need the totally noticeable to me 0.9 ms difference

[agile grove]

its 0.8 actually

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/he-really-doesnt-have-a-clue-at-all-the-real-world-home-away-from-home-he-doesnt-know-he-doesnt-have-any-idea-gif-23581027

[median spade]

0.875 i rounded up

If people get this and say they see a difference versus 1k polling but then call it a scam on mice I will laugh

also whereever calder lives has quite the diverse landscape

[harsh dove]

Polling don’t matter much if your scanning doesn’t match up

It’s a scam mainly cause most claim 8K polling without 8K scanning

So it’s marginal

[waxen bane]

No one needs it on mouse, it’s much more apparent with keyboard inputs

Apples to oranges imo

[median spade]

Would have to disagree tbh

It's pretty noticeable on a mouse if you're using 240hz or higher

I know most people are on 144hz anyways and stuck in bronze but yeah

[waxen bane]

I agree 8K vs 1K polling is noticeable but that still doesn’t affect anything

[sharp yew]

360hz, tenz mouse, artisan mousepad, wooting60he, all to be in wood tier

[median spade]

[sharp yew]

at that point just say you are a peripherals enthusiast

[median spade]

which is fine as having a more enjoyable expereince is also cool

[sharp yew]

its not embarassing that way

[median spade]

yep yep

[waxen bane]

keyboard latency is way more important for competitive gaming imo, I can use a mid mouse and my aim wouldn’t drastically fall off but rapid trigger was a massive mechanical advantage

[median spade]

yeah but the og joke was in the fact that if someone says they will notice 1khz from the 60he to 8khz on the 80he, but not on a mouse

then they are lying as it's the same thing

since 0.875ms is the difference

[waxen bane]

80he is 8k?

ffs

[median spade]

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

[waxen bane]

And I bought the module

😭

[median spade]

Yeah they have been prety much saying from the start that the 80he would be faster haha

[waxen bane]

I don’t keep up with wooting news I’m only here to get my dumbass questions answered

[paper bloom]

Go on

[harsh dove]

80HE is gonna be the best

[paper bloom]

It shall

[median spade]

the venom stuff will be cool too since you can put it in a frog, f1-8x,e tc

not that i would ever put it in my f1 as gaming on that would be

[waxen bane]

How many switches will I need for the 80he

[bronze grove]

85?

[harsh dove]

Ish

[bronze grove]

84?

[harsh dove]

Lmao

[median spade]

is it really 84?

[waxen bane]

So if I have leftovers from the module, plus the 70 jades I order now, I’ll have enough?

[median spade]

it has less keys than a normal tkl I thought

[bronze grove]

TKL has 87. We removed... 3? keys.
So 84/85?

[median spade]

Brain fart as I'm used to my WKL tkl

[harsh dove]

Yeah

That’s -2

[stray tiger]

Is why I was smiling yesterday when @glacial wind posted that polling/scanning chart. We already knew the 80HE would be 8k polling AND scanning. No one else is doing this, at least not in the 82 boards Im tracking.

[harsh dove]

Right that’s what I’ve been tryna get people to understand lol

[waxen bane]

No updates on the release date yet?

[median spade]

can't wait till no ones computers can handle like 8k polling

on mice*

[harsh dove]

8K polling WITH 8K scanning

[median spade]

Because they're system is not optimzied

[paper bloom]

Unless... theres a stand alone system dongle or something to sort it out

A specialized cable

Maybe

But we shall see the computers evolving

And it might but we never know

[median spade]

But yeah going to be funny to see the same issues with 8k mice arises when people get frame drops as the 80he taxes their usb controller and cpu

[paper bloom]

LMAO thatd be a big fatass rip

[harsh dove]

Basically need a 9th gen or better intel cpu or AMD equivalent and 240hz or more

And you’ll be fine

[paper bloom]

Nah youd need more than that, at that rate cuz u still gotta account for the gaming load

If ur like those who wld heavily set evrrything in game to rtx and 8k

And the OCing, i doubt 8k polling rate wld help and as well ur pc might shat itself

And theres a chance ur pc shuts itself off due to temp readings

[waxen bane]

hm

[harsh dove]

Most aren’t playing at 240hz with RTX on and everything maxed out in game unless they own a 4090

Most play with low settings

For the most fps

[paper bloom]

I mean if thats the case shldnt b an issue

[harsh dove]

At least in terms of competitive fps

[paper bloom]

Ig yea

Now we shall wait for the 80HE to hit mainstream

And the hardware of this year shall probs improve 7 fold

[stray tiger]

The best part about todays video is that there is even better stuff coming in future videos. Exciting times

[harsh dove]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/14kobfj/anyone_test_8khz_cpu_performance_with_the_new/

There was also this rare Windows 11 W for polling rates

7-8 months ago

[paper bloom]

So they optimized it

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[paper bloom]

And retweaked the OS to be more R n W

And freq of it too nice

[median spade]

I'ts better and i have no issues

but a lot of people still struggle

most people have 30 chrome tabs, spotify, twitch going, discord etc

is the issue too

[harsh dove]

lol yeah

Chrome is the issue

[paper bloom]

Idk u guys but im running firefox

[brave lagoon]

Do I need to lube the stabilizers to make my keyboard sound how I want it to be? Or do I only lube the switches

[harsh dove]

Chrome for work , and I’ve been trying out Opera at home

[paper bloom]

Both

[paper bloom]

Ive heard opera has privacy issues im not staking it in for that atm

Since its a chinese company thats logging in

[harsh dove]

Yeah fair enough

[paper bloom]

Ye

[paper bloom]

But make sure u watch ur TM tho and make sure u dont get any odd stuff on opera

[waxen bane]

Edge for work bc of bing chat bot, firefox for browsing bc it’s not chromium

[median spade]

That is up to you and how the boards sounds

don't like how it sounds then lube the stabs or switches etc

[brave lagoon]

Would these keycaps work?

[polar girder]

Bruh

80HE gets 8k

I’m obsolete AF now

RIP

[agile grove]

yes

[brave lagoon]

Will it have rgb

[agile grove]

you mean shine through? im not sure, but it doesnt look like it.

you're not really gonna find shine through keycaps

[brave lagoon]

The Wooting keyboard module has RGB correct

[agile grove]

oh the keyboard itself, yes yes it does

[lapis stump]

yes only front facing no backlit rgb

[brave lagoon]

What’s front facing

I don’t get how that works

So if I use those keycaps will I see rgb?

[stray tiger]

You wont even be able to compete without 8k. I mean come on!

[lapis stump]

yes, front facing i meant on the keys it self, but thers no rgb on the back of the pcb so if you have a clear case, it wont shine through on the back

[brave lagoon]

I ordered a white case

[agile grove]

behind the keycaps, not through the legends

[brave lagoon]

Or silver

[lapis stump]

then it shouldnt matter, it will work

[brave lagoon]

Sweet

As long as I get RBG I’m happy

[stray tiger]

Is there someone online who can read korean fluently?

DM me if so

[untold wigeon]

what can i do to get a thocky kb when my parts arrive?

[agile grove]

polyfill, gummy mount, lubed switches and stabs, poron pad

and if you feel like it, tape mod

[strange blaze]

Def tape mod with atleast 2 layers, had huge improvement for me

[odd needle]

Anyone know if somewhere sells pre lubed L45's?

[quiet bay]

Hand lubed? Most likely not

Factory lubed? Already come factory lubed

[brave lagoon]

Hey I’m back

Does anyone know how to make keyboard sound creamy

[odd needle]

How big of a difference is there, I value my own sanity way too much to lube them myself @quiet bay

[odd needle]

poor milk on it

[quiet bay]

Huge because lubing them yourself makes it feel alot more consistent

[brave lagoon]

Yo

[odd needle]

[brave lagoon]

Do u know how to make keyboard sound creamy

[quiet bay]

@fluid ravine has a pretty creamy keyboard

u can take a look at what he did

[brave lagoon]

Oh okay

@fluid ravine

[quiet bay]

Its okay its all worth it in the end 😂

[fluid ravine]

I'M IN SCHOOOOLLP

[quiet bay]

UHMMM

[fluid ravine]

LET ME COOOOOK PLSS HAHAAAAA

AIGHT BYEEEEV

[quiet bay]

OKE BYE

[brave lagoon]

I just got a question

[quiet bay]

I’ll show hom instead

[brave lagoon]

Oh okay

[fluid ravine]

PLS DO OK ٩(ര̀ᴗര́)ᵇʸᵉ

[brave lagoon]

I just wanted to know how to make Wooting keyboard sound creamy haha

@fluid ravine all good

[quiet bay]

#1173784544529363034 message

Also

Most important part

Is switch tape mod to remove

the chatter if ur using lekker switches

#1173784544529363034 message this

recommended if u dont wanna spend alot more money for better sounding switches and have all the time in the world

[brave lagoon]

I was reading it

[brave lagoon]

I can still make my keyboard sound creamy with lekker switches right?

[agile grove]

yes

[brave lagoon]

Ok

[agile grove]

but you're gonna have to hand lube them

[brave lagoon]

And with any type of lube work?

[agile grove]

205g0

[brave lagoon]

Kk

[untold wigeon]

what is polyfill? xD

[quiet bay]

Stuff u find in ur pillow or a stuffed animal ig

[untold wigeon]

what really?

[untold wigeon]

where do i put that?😄

i have alot of stuffed animals

[quiet bay]

uhhh

in the case xD

[untold wigeon]

i could just take from them

wth

[quiet bay]

Are u about to decapitate one 💀

[untold wigeon]

yes indeed

well not now

but when i get my stuff next week

[quiet bay]

Well uhmmm

Technically

U could yes

Rest in peace in advance 🙏

[untold wigeon]

say bye to hugging bear

[quiet bay]

[untold wigeon]

gummy mount is that when u out the o-rings u get with the module on the standoffs?

[quiet bay]

No its a big o ring

That wraps around between thr pcb and plate

and its mounted by friction

[untold wigeon]

oh thats hard with the alumaze i think

[quiet bay]

also pretty sure those r just for protection on the standoffs

Also

[untold wigeon]

badseed tech said that atleast

[quiet bay]

Pretty sure on the module u can only do it with clip in stabs

[harsh dove]

Not hard on the Alumaze at all

Very simple

[untold wigeon]

hmm

even with module?

[harsh dove]

Yes

Just get clip ins or plate mount

[quiet bay]

well

whos getting module just to put plate mount stabs in 😭

[harsh dove]

Idk lol

[untold wigeon]

good point xd

[harsh dove]

Somebody probably

[untold wigeon]

nah f it, ill just leave stock and try tape mod

[harsh dove]

Technically if they got the prebuilt module then they get plate mount anyway

unless you get the standalone module

[quiet bay]

[harsh dove]

Prebuilt comes with plate mount

[untold wigeon]

this is the stuff i ordered, can this get ”creamy”

[harsh dove]

standalone comes with screw in

[untold wigeon]

with simple mods i may add

[quiet bay]

Will probably sound a bit more pingy due to the alumaze case but if u do switch tape mod then yeah

[quiet bay]

UHHHH

I meann

[untold wigeon]

since ive never done any mods

[quiet bay]

Switch tape mod is simple

But

Very time consuming

[untold wigeon]

guessing its not the same thing as tape modding the pcb

[quiet bay]

nop

#1173784544529363034 message here

directions

[untold wigeon]

ofc nah i cba opening switches etc im prob going to ruin something

[quiet bay]

trust me its ez

[untold wigeon]

nah nah i cant ill just tape the back off the pcb and call it a day haha

[quiet bay]

hmm

well ok

[wispy thistle]

can i do something with gateron jade or?

similair

[quiet bay]

ye u can probably do that

[untold wigeon]

i want jades:(

[quiet bay]

jades sound better than lekkers anyway

[untold wigeon]

yes

[quiet bay]

Only reason why his lekkers sound good is because of switch tape mod

[untold wigeon]

too bad L45 was 25$

and jades 60$

L45 are still good tho no?

[wispy thistle]

so i dont really need to do switch tape mod on lekkers?

[untold wigeon]

jades^

[wispy thistle]

i mean jade\

[quiet bay]

no if u have jades

[wispy thistle]

yea sorry i meant jade

[quiet bay]

yea

jades r good stock

[odd needle]

@quiet bay do u know of any discount codes?

[untold wigeon]

u have any extra to send my way dankey? xd ill buy em off u

[quiet bay]

nah only coupons there are were for people who already own a wooting

[wispy thistle]

if im going for a similair sound profile do you think i should do the jades or the raptor stem swapped lekker combination.

because i am going for that deep with a little bit of pop like his. but i think jade is very clacky no?

[quiet bay]

raptors are more clacky

jades can sound deeper with some foam

[wispy thistle]

cool

[wispy thistle]

lol i havent even bought any parts yet

[untold wigeon]

oh xd

[wispy thistle]

ok sounds good thanks. what does his no mount mean. i was going to do the gummy o ring mount on a tofu redux. and if i do that do i have to remove the standoffs in the case or something?

[quiet bay]

it means he literally doesn't have anything to hold the pcb in place 💀

[quiet bay]

uhh

I mean

You can

and the standoffs don't come pre-placed anyways I think

[untold wigeon]

what i gathered so far is that Pochizo favorite word is ”uhh”

which is valid

[wispy thistle]

im sorry if im not usingt he right words first custom. i heard something about if you do gummy o ring in a tray mount you need to drill something out? idk

[quiet bay]

[quiet bay]

You don't have to drill anything out

it's just friction mounted

putting o ring around pcb will add friction, holding the pcb in the case

[wispy thistle]

ok sounds good

thanks

[wet hazel]

The Jades were on sale on Ali until yesterday or today, cost me a little more than 35€

Coupons+coins from the discounts

[untold wigeon]

and now no discount?

[wet hazel]

Nope xD

Bought them two or three days ago

[untold wigeon]

i cant even find them on aliexpress

my luck really

i cba

[tiny ferry]

I just noticed that there is no STL file available for the plastic flip-out feet on the Wooting Two HE. The git repository (https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-design/tree/main/wooting-two-he) does have a file for the bottom case itself, but the flip-out feet are missing in that model.

Does anyone know where I could find the design file for them?

[bronze grove]

Doubt we shared them to be honest.

Email us at [e-mail] and I might be able to get them uploaded.

[tiny ferry]

Okay thanks a lot, will do!

[median spade]

not the true jade experience if you're not paying $1/switch smh

[true patrol]

lmao I asked yesterday if the switches rest on top of the pcb, and people said no, they're floating

just removed my plate foam for something else and looked while it was out, they definitely do rest on top of it, at least with the kbdfans standoff kit which is the same length as the stock standoffs as far as I know

[bronze grove]

Depends on your definition I spose.

[true patrol]

Maybe I wasn't specific enough? Not sure

What I meant was that the bottoms of the switch housings (not the alignment legs) are touching the top of the PCB while everything is assembled

[wet hazel]

sadgies, I'll have half jade experience

duck_bopping

[stray tiger]

Any kailh switch opener should work fine

[tawdry tree]

Like I said, none of mine fit. 2/3 I have used before. Could be a difference between the pink and browns, not too sure.

They were tight af too.

In the switch plate

[quiet bay]

ig they rest on both the pcb and the plate :v

cause they do have little nudges on the bottom that fit into the pcb

the plate pretty much secures it so that it doesn't wobble like crazy

[wispy thistle]

@quiet bay So if i follow this setup do you think i can get it sounding like the one you linked?

• Quality Keycaps probably GMK
• Gateron Magnetic Jade Switches
• PC Plate
• Tempest Mod
• Polyfill
• Removal of PCB Foam
• Tofu Redux Case
  -TX Ap stabs
  any other mods you recommend?

[quiet bay]

hmm

keycaps could make it sound more different

since he does use PBT keycaps in there

but it should still sound similar ngl

kinda creamy

[wispy thistle]

ok i can use PBT what is doubleshot PBT does that matter

[quiet bay]

just use dyesub pbt

cheaper

[wispy thistle]

ok

[quiet bay]

idk if u wanna spend 100+ dollars on a keycap set 😭

[wispy thistle]

im down if it makes a difference

i was looking at gmk

[quiet bay]

well

if u want like

[wispy thistle]

if there is noticeable quality diff

[quiet bay]

A BIG sound difference

I would look at a different material like ceramic keycaps

tends to go to a deeper sound

[wispy thistle]

i just dont like how they look that much

[quiet bay]

but def will feel different

[quiet bay]

hmm ok

just go with dyesub pbt or doubleshot abs (gmk)

[wispy thistle]

id rather go pbt or gmk

ok thaks

[quiet bay]

speaking of polyfill ima go take out the innards of my pillow now

[wispy thistle]

what about the band aid mod and the switch pads

those are necessary?

[quiet bay]

uhh not necessary

but if you want a little bit deeper sound

then sure u can go for them

[wispy thistle]

yea i want deeper

thanks

[harsh dove]

@tawdry tree

[quiet bay]

Stock foam vs Polyfill

[harsh dove]

@stray tiger

No issues

Didn’t have to do anything extra either, just installed them as normal

[fluid ravine]

Polyyy

I’m omw to orthodontist to pick up some rubber bands

[quiet bay]

this is

bouncy

but also adds height to my pcb xd

[fluid ravine]

@wispy thistle The Jades tend to sound higher pitched like long pole switches (although they technically are). I guess you can try to go for a clacks cream build like a board with Akko V3 creams.

[polar girder]

Is an 8k firmware update for 60HE possible or nah?

[stray tiger]

Awesome. Glad they worked out! Sounds good to man

[fluid ravine]

This is just a prediction from me

[polar girder]

Guess that’s more of a wootility question I guess

[fluid ravine]

That’d be sick

[stray tiger]

No. The tech to support 8k in the 60HE isnt there

[polar girder]

Fk

Im screwed!!

[fluid ravine]

[polar girder]

Thanks

1k so obsolete bro

[harsh dove]

Yeah, now I'm just curious as to why they won't work for others

[stray tiger]

Start saving up for your 500Mhz monitor and 8k keyboard

[harsh dove]

Cause now I've tested all the TX AP stabs

and had no issues

[polar girder]

What were you testing that worked?

Friction mount?

[polar girder]

Srs

[harsh dove]

Yeah so people were having issues with TX AP Screw Ins and Clip ins fitting the plate and then also there was curiousity to see if the new Graveshift S Rings fit with Screw Ins

Which I also got to work

[wispy thistle]

so it would sound more like this https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FXJKWzLlHYo ?

[polar girder]

That’s huge. Was hoping to use my S ring with the stock screw ins

[harsh dove]

Yeah it'll work

Just have to press in more near the spacebar

[polar girder]

Haven’t transplanted the screwins to the black PC plate yet

[polar girder]

Noted

[fluid ravine]

If you want a switch that sound similar to mine without having to do the mods and significant decrease in stem wobble, I guess you could try the KS-20u (we call them peaches btw)

[polar girder]

“We”

😅

[fluid ravine]

Hmm
Like I have the yellow cream switches but I need a jade sound test again cus I keep forgetting

Gimme a moment

[wispy thistle]

I dont mind spending the time to do the switch tape mod if thats going to be the best. I did want more of a deeper creamy.

like yours basically

[polar girder]

Same

[wispy thistle]

like yours is basically exactly what i want lol

[polar girder]

Frankenstein raptors kinda sounding like the switch taped lekkers IMO

[fluid ravine]

Yeah you should try the Peaches if you don’t wanna do the switch tape mod

[polar girder]

Yeah we all aspire to be like ThockSon

Peaches with tape mod??

Nahhh

Weird

[wispy thistle]

i think he meant if i dont want to do tape mod

[fluid ravine]

I don’t think it’s possible

CAM said that the peaches has even lesser stem wobble than the jades

Iirc

[uncut musk]

got my oring now

today

rather

anyone got a good video for how to put it on

or is it as simple as just

[polar girder]

This

[quiet bay]

Stock foam and a little bit of polyfill on top xD

[fluid ravine]

Ayyyyy

[wispy thistle]

that sounds good to me too. what switches are you using?

[fluid ravine]

Same thing as mine

[wispy thistle]

lol

[fluid ravine]

lol indeed

[wispy thistle]

no wonder it sounds good to me too then

[quiet bay]

might run this configuration with less polyfill 🤔

[wispy thistle]

im trying to look at sound tests for the peaches but i dont they have done the other mods because none of them sound as good as both of yours to me

[fluid ravine]

I only used one of them bc I was scared abt the overheating problem and I didn’t how raised it was

[fluid ravine]

@harsh dove

[polar girder]

Lol

Cam!!!!

[fluid ravine]

Cammy!!!

[wispy thistle]

so pbt dyesub will contribute to a deeper sound than abs gmk because its more dense?

[fluid ravine]

I’m not a nerd in keycap materials

[quiet bay]

just know that gmk results in a bit more clack xD

[wispy thistle]

got it

thanks

[uncut musk]

are you not supposed to use the sandwich poron foam?

[fluid ravine]

You can

It’s the silicone that you can’t do

Just keep in mind when using the plate foam it will be harder to put in and take out

[uncut musk]

no foam then lmao

i dont hear enough of a difference

[fluid ravine]

[quiet bay]

Im liking the stock foam with a tiny bit of polyfill c:

[fluid ravine]

I like it as well when I had it

But again me not trying to murder my PCB if anything happens

[quiet bay]

uhh

i meannn

I got a layer of masking and molykote tape xD

[fluid ravine]

You mean…

Yeah idk ;-;

Taking risks can come with great rewards ya?

[harsh dove]

Wassup

[polar girder]

Just echoing mb lol

Dang bro. I’m obsolete af

[harsh dove]

@fluid ravine

[harsh dove]

first board with 8k scanning

[polar girder]

Yeah I can’t fk with 80% form factor otherwise I might care

Otherwise I’m just an obsolete 60He Owner

Sad

[quiet bay]

shooootttt now I wanna keep it but im trying to buy it for my brother 🗿

[harsh dove]

[quiet bay]

but he's going to have a better keyboard than me!!

AHHHHH

[harsh dove]

lmao

[fluid ravine]

@wispy thistle

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s hella unfortunate

60HE owners left in the grave

[fluid ravine]

RAAAHH

[polar girder]

While 80HE Owners living life

[quiet bay]

if 80HE will have enough power for 8k polling...

will they also make 60HE true 8k?!

[polar girder]

Module with 8k would’ve been SWEEY

[quiet bay]

newer 60hes

[polar girder]

Need.

[quiet bay]

THEY KNOW WE WANT IT

[polar girder]

Srs

[quiet bay]

THEY'RE DRAINING OUR WALLETS

[stray tiger]

60HE doesnt have the tech to support 8k polling. Will there be a new revision in the future, no one knows, but it would be a hardware change if so.

[polar girder]

Yeah

60HE owners stuck in 2023

Big sad

[untold wigeon]

ehh true 8k isnt all that

[bitter valve]

How do you even feel that difference tho

[untold wigeon]

1ms is more than enough

[untold wigeon]

you dont xd

maybe its just more consistsnt sometimes

[polar girder]

Latency = Bad

[quiet bay]

hey but now wooting def more on top

[stray tiger]

Better yet, how do you even see that difference when your monitor isnt providing you visual feedback that fast

[untold wigeon]

its been on top

[untold wigeon]

good point also

[quiet bay]

more marketing 😎

[polar girder]

Latency adds up

[untold wigeon]

nah

[bitter valve]

It is bad, but at the numbers being milliseconds…

[untold wigeon]

disagree

[stray tiger]

Yes but humans cant detect nanoseconds naturally

[polar girder]

lol go ahead. Facts are still facts

[quiet bay]

nice to have anyways c:

you won't notice it but the game will probably notice it

[polar girder]

Yeah I mean a fraction of a millisecond isn’t game changer. I’m being dramatic fwiw

[untold wigeon]

its the same shit when u hear about ”intel” has lower latency than ”amd” but its literally nanoseconds humans can’t feel

[polar girder]

But I do want it

Same reason I’m entertaining a 4090 for 1080p gaming

Decreased latency

[untold wigeon]

smart move xd

[stray tiger]

We all want it, but just so we will no longer have an excuse to say "If I only had a faster keyboard Id be a pro"

[polar girder]

Ok that’s probably not at all accurate

[bitter valve]

Bro will buy 80HE to play fortnite with 2 kills per match

[polar girder]

Exactly lol

[wispy thistle]

was there any mods that cam didnt do that @quiet bay and you did? because pochizo sounds a little bit deeper and more my preference if the only differenece is the switches

[untold wigeon]

what is inaccurate?

[polar girder]

The difference of Intel and amd being nanoseconds

[stray tiger]

8k keyboard is all Im lacking at being top 1%. Guaranteed

[untold wigeon]

it is nanoseconds

ive had both

[bitter valve]

Hahaha

[polar girder]

Ok I’m not arguing with you

[untold wigeon]

i feel no difference

[polar girder]

Yeah you also just said latency doesn’t add up. So I’m good lol

[quiet bay]

uhh i don't know cam's mods

[untold wigeon]

xd

[quiet bay]

but difference between mine and tuan's is that

I have more foam

and different tape layer

[wispy thistle]

who is tuan thockson?

[quiet bay]

pretty much

I just call him tuan cuz that's his username

real one

[polar girder]

A REAL ONE indeed

[wispy thistle]

got it. yea i probably go your route. did you use 3 layers tape?

on pcb

[quiet bay]

I used 1 layer of masking tape first and then 1 layer of molykote tape

I use stock foam and a little bit of an even layer of polyfill on top

using gummy mount 👍

[wispy thistle]

ok

[polar girder]

Yo I’m avoiding swapping out my module cuz I have to transplant the screw in stabs to the black PC plate and stabilizers scare me

[wispy thistle]

@harsh dove do you have your mods listed somewhere?

[wispy thistle]

oh he is not using foam. thats probably why. he is probably going more for a clackier sound right?

[quiet bay]

maybe he doesn't want too deep 🤷‍♂️

[stray tiger]

THE Thockson

[wispy thistle]

yea. so i might be able to use the peach switches and get close to your sound

honestly maybe even gateron jades. i dont think ive heard anyone with jades do all the mods you mentioned. like gummy o ring, foam, pollyfil, and the tapes

but ill probably go with peaches and do all the mods and see if i like it. no use theorizing this much lol

just got to pull the trigger and try it and see if i like it

thanks for the help everyone

[harsh dove]

Pretty much how I feel tbh same with 4k polling, most only need like 2k polling and that's fine, unless you're getting paid to play that competitively, no point in having 8k really unless you're just a nerd who wants the best stuff even tho it doesn't matter at all like I do then

[quiet bay]

np it's mostly just adjusting mods to your preference

[quiet bay]

I'm planning to buy an OP1 8k when it goes on sale

although u may be talking about keyboards

[harsh dove]

Yeah imo most buying iinto 8k don't actually need it they just want it cause FOMO and hype and what someone told them

[bitter valve]

CPU might not handle 8k mice + 8k kb too

[harsh dove]

Most not getting paid to play competitively like that

[harsh dove]

That too

Need a pretty recent CPU for it

[quiet bay]

mainly just want it cuz it looks nice, shape looks good, and i need something better than my deathadder v2 mini

it combos with my keyboard

[harsh dove]

Yeah thats fair enough lol

[polar girder]

Yeah 8k both would be sweet lol

I’m gonna order a M3K PCB when they drop next month

Go back to wired

Otherwise might cop a OP1

Rocking the vv2 pro rn

[quiet bay]

tbh I don't even really feel my wire uunless it buumps into something

so going wired is a safe and stable option

[harsh dove]

I hate wired mice lol

[polar girder]

Was also thinking of transplanting my DAV3 wired PCB in to a fingertip grip mod shell

Wired is underrated for sure

[quiet bay]

xd I do want wireless but I will def forget to charge it

will probably just get a mouse bungee along with it

[polar girder]

Yeah illl probably get a bungee if I go back to wired

Hanging from the monitor arm is decent but not quite goood enough

[uncut musk]

when yall put your board into the case with the oring do you do the usb c side first or the spacebar side first

[polar girder]

Always USB side first

Have to

To keep the port safe

[serene delta]

NO ONE needs 8k

[uncut musk]

kk thats what i figured lol

i was like it’s definitely usb first

[polar girder]

No one needs shit

But I defo want it

[serene delta]

Yea sure if you want it go on but

[quiet bay]

We dont need but we want 😎

[serene delta]

That -0.875ms is useless

Lol….

[quiet bay]

def would be nice on a mouse

[serene delta]

Would it really though, I mean I’ve never tried expensive mouses before because my cheap one works fine (and I also use a drawing tablet most of the time)

[quiet bay]

for competitive shooters yeah

[polar girder]

Probably a 144hz gamer talking

[wispy thistle]

@quiet bay just curious its kind of impossible with current he switches to get a true deep thock like the third one right now right?https://youtube.com/shorts/GxATylA8eXA?si=2GCU3KGI3odxn110

[harsh dove]

https://youtu.be/jtATbpMqbL4?si=PedUz1x28wN37i5W

[waxen bane]

This video basically just says increase your dpi

[harsh dove]

Lol well yeah cause otherwise higher polling rate doesn't matter

and even then its diminishing returns

Hence why I don't buy into it

[polar girder]

3200 dpi meta

3200 dpi/4k polling is solid enough to never worry about it again IMO

[harsh dove]

Basically

I use 800-1600

sometimes 3200 for fast 180

[polar girder]

I just adjust my sens accordingly

.29 sens on CS2

[harsh dove]

yeah i use dpi shift

[static tendon]

I only use 800 but have friends that go way above that DPI

Everyone here also turn off mouse acceleration?

[harsh dove]

ew yes

[polar girder]

Yeah

lol

[harsh dove]

I main 1600

[static tendon]

Yeah about 2 years ago, I wiped my PC and re-downloaded windows to have a fresh start again and for 2 weeks or so I totally forgot to disable mouse acceleration. I was playing so bad and didn't know why then one day it hit me that i forgot to disable that option

Hate that it's a defaulted option but I guess people who don't play any games it may make sense to have it enabled

[polar girder]

Yeah solid enough lol

I mean it’s all so infinitesimal

[harsh dove]

Right yeah lol

[quiet bay]

Its harder to get thocc on a smaller layout

[quiet bay]

I think I might have mouse acceleration on and dont even know wtf it does 💀

[untold wigeon]

low sens boooh

[static tendon]

It basically automatically adjusts your DPI to how quickly or slowly you move your mouse, this will cause inconsistent aim in games

[static tendon]

This setting right here

To get to that setting, you'll need to search for "Mouse" in windows settings, find "Additional mouse options" then navigate towards the "Pointer Options" and just uncheck the "Enhance pointer precision" option. This will then disable it. It will take a bit of time getting used to it but in the long run your aim will be more consistant because it's much more predictable

[quiet bay]

Ahh ok thanks for the simple explanation 🙏

Will check this out later

see if I actually do have it since I did redownload windows 11

[static tendon]

It's on by default, so if you didn't uncheck it, it will be enabled

[random quail]

holy shit bro

i built a new computer and completely forgot to turn off this setting again

[quiet bay]

Maybe this is the reason why on random days im so good and other days im so ass LOL

[static tendon]

It happens, this setting along with setting your refresh rate on the monitor are one of the most important things to do when setting up a newly installed windows

[static tendon]

Haha I can certainly relate to that

[bronze grove]

That setting only affects old game engines though?

[grizzled path]

yeah doesn't matter if the game has rawinput

[static tendon]

Not exactly, even games like Fortnite, it will still impact gameplay and be enabled in game unfortunately. Some games do still disable it though

[cold echo]

If you had the soldering, dremeling, and coding chops, could you turn the wooting into a split keyboard?

like this?

[stray tiger]

Anything is possible if you have the skill and desire. Probability though is not high

[cold echo]

I just built this for a friend and now I know my endgame is a split ortho with the tech that the wooting has so i only need to have one keyboard

[median spade]

Had mine on for a year after reinstalling windows and I play Apex mostly which doesn’t use raw. Same thing of felt so inconsistent. Well turned it off 2 weeks ago and everything good again after readjusting

[median spade]

Ortho feels awkward in games imo versus staggered when I had my ergos

Hitting number row, keys like x, c, z all very awkward

[quiet bay]

just turned it off

feels so weird now o.o

[median spade]

Yeppp going to have to adjust again haha

[cold echo]

even if i could just split and tent thatd be enough

[median spade]

Could try this in the meantime

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806208325826.html

[cold echo]

but this doesnt have paid trigger or tachyon or anything

[polar girder]

Split keyboards are frickiny W’s

Maybe in like 5-10 years if Wooting gets bored they try it lol

[agile grove]

theoretically, realistically no

[median spade]

Let’s get 7u bottom row first

Then we talk about split wooting boards

And split right shift

This is the layout I need for my 60he

[agile grove]

wkl?

[waxen bane]

whats the point of wkl i dont get it

[quiet bay]

I think it looks nice

idk actual purpose tho

[cold echo]

I mean even just the spacebar itself it's the hard stop to this idea unfortunately

Do all hall effect switches auto release when you start releaseing or is that just wootingnmagic

To rephrase, how much is the PCB, the software, and the switch respectively

[agile grove]

all hall effect switches

the board detects changes in the magnet field of the magnets in the switches

[cold echo]

but if I buy an ergo dox or any other split ergo with hotswaps I couldnt get the same benefits right?

also to be claer i have a 60he as my daily and love it but i broke my wrist in january and do all my work work on a split board and would love to have just one

[static tendon]

This is a good question. Is there a setting that makes the hall effect switch act more like a regular switch? A friend recently asked me this question but I didn't have an answer

[agile grove]

they would have to be a hall effect board

with rapid trigger

[granite blaze]

whats the best sounding keycap profile for typing/gaming

[stray tiger]

Best sounding is subjective. For a lower frequency, go with a bigger/deeper keycap (OEM or larger)

[polar girder]

The windows key sucks. That’s the point of WKL

[granite blaze]

ty and yes deeper is always better

[static tendon]

Can't you just re-bind it to some other key? Or just have it do nothing in Wootility?

[granite blaze]

the best place to get good quality keycaps?

[agile grove]

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

[wispy thistle]

how hard will the 80he be to mod? will be pretty much forced to use their case etc?

[quiet bay]

well it's not like there's any other third party case you can swap it out with]

maybe a little bit harder to disassemble?

actually ehh

it's gasket mounted

but you probably will have to disconnect daughterboard

which is kinda annoying

[quiet bay]

atleast they will have a zinc alloy case as an option tho

[wispy thistle]

is that better than aluminum for a deeper sound?

[quiet bay]

Can't say, never tried

pretty sure they're using it since it's easier to mold to a certain shape

and cheaper I believe

either way it will def be easier to make sound deeper since it's a bigger form factor

[wispy thistle]

meh i dont like the style of the case. i figured no one else makes cases for that format so ill just go with 60he probably

[agile grove]

disconnecting the daughterboard will prob very easy

[quiet bay]

ye disconnecting easy

I just dont like connecting it again

[agile grove]

true that can be a pain

esp since you have the angle the board in a specific way to reconnect it

[tired niche]

damn the wooting feels better with the oring mount

the bottom out feel is more bouncy and less harsh when you bash the keys

can't believe that made a good difference

the burger mount was still too stiff

[quiet bay]

Gummy mount superiority 🔥

[tired niche]

yeah i think it took away some low end of the jade switches

but im okay with that

i didnt want the keyboard too loud anyways

finally though! semi soft typing on the wooting!

i didnt think this was possible

pretty happy with how it turned out

[brave lagoon]

Yo

@quiet bay yo

Will these keycaps work with wooting

[quiet bay]

Can I look at the whole set?

[brave lagoon]

Ye

[quiet bay]

photo pls

[brave lagoon]

https://www.amazon.ca/Fogruaden-Compatible-Switches-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B0BRK7LSNG?th=1&psc=1

I sent it

[quiet bay]

Yeah it’ll work

[minor pond]

Is it worth swapping the stem on the raptor he switch with the lekkers?

[polar girder]

Maybe.

Depends.

It’s a fun experiment.

I played around with the raptors and ended up swapping the lekker 45 springs and stems on the raptor housing. But stock raptors pretty clean. I wouldn’t say it’s mandatory. Just a fun experiment that changes the feel and the sound.

[granite blaze]

best dark keycap sets? black on grey legends?

[tawdry tree]

How’s the bending?

[quiet bay]

https://kineticlabs.com/keycaps/wuque-studios/ws-cthulhu-pbt-keycaps uhh I found this?

[paper bloom]

Glad 2 hear that the screw in's are good

[paper bloom]

You can run wootings black keycaps that they come in prebuilds or buy them standalone

[harsh dove]

Pretty much the same as the clip ins

[tawdry tree]

sold out…

[tawdry tree]

did you try the steel plate?

afaik all people who had issues didn’t use the steel plate but it’d be good to see if they work in there as well.

[marsh saffron]

no it doesnt

how does it suck lol

[polar girder]

lol i guess it comes in handy sometimes. but tha majority of the time i hit it it's on accident

[marsh saffron]

if you misclick windows key you just suck

tbh

i havent misclicked it in literal years, especially since getting 60he

[polar girder]

Ok I suck

Exposed

[minor pond]

alrighty ima try swapping rn

[harsh dove]

Yes, it does not work, at least not in a comfortable way

[tawdry tree]

Interesting, it could be a difference in PC plate stiffness that they work for some and not for others. If the fitment itself was good then the steel plate would work fine too.

[harsh dove]

Right, it’s the fact that the pc plate has flex so it can fit better

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, but still not enough for some 😂

[harsh dove]

The steel plate goes on the stabs

But it’s really tight

So it’s scary taking it off lol

[tawdry tree]

I got one almost in but it was way too tight

[harsh dove]

Yeah I got the whole right side on the steel plate

But I didn’t wanna put it all the way on

Just really tight

[tawdry tree]

You saw this?

🌊

[harsh dove]

Lmao no

[crimson sky]

that is a skill issue

[tawdry tree]

That’s some guy with clip ins

😂😂😂

[crimson sky]

tbh

stock stabs on the module are almost entirely fine

[tawdry tree]

It is, he’s skillless overall.

[tawdry tree]

Experiences vary, but if you tune them, yes.

[crimson sky]

I didn't even need to fix the wires or anything

just added a bit of lube

[harsh dove]

Mine with screw ins

[tawdry tree]

The housings tho 😬

or is that just the angle

they look slanted

\ /

[harsh dove]

Nah they fine lol

Probs just the pic

[tawdry tree]

ah alr

[quick gate]

Hey so is the case foam with the module and the alumaze the same? I got them switched around and can’t tell if there’s a difference

[crimson sky]

if it looks the same, feels the same and behaves the same it probably is the same

[quick gate]

I think it’s the same thickness with the two middle standoff holes missing

[static tendon]

Here’s mine with screw ins as well

I was worried about having a bent PCB

[static tendon]

Whose board is this?

[harsh dove]

This stock wooting screw ins?

[static tendon]

Correct

[harsh dove]

Ah okay, yeah those are great honestly

[static tendon]

Been seeing some banana shaped modules here and there. I wonder if it’s due to user errors or it was this way upon arrival

[harsh dove]

Yeah I bought every kind of TX AP stabs to see if I could recreate the issue but I could not

Only thing I had that was similar was bent pins where you insert the switch but my stabs still worked fine with no issues

[brave lagoon]

Do I need to lubricate the stabilizers to make my keyboard sound creamy or thocky

[paper bloom]

If you want to

[tawdry tree]

Some anonymous doctor

[sweet oak]

Board got Diagnosed with scoliosis

[raven osprey]

What another good case beside tofu?

[bronze grove]

Why the Alumaze of course!

[untold wigeon]

the alumaze is so good it won the lottery for me!

[waxen bane]

Ngl I’m glad I got the alumaze

[lapis stump]

Looking at some clip in stabs as the plate mount left overs I used on the space bar isn't the best quality. Anyone have a recommendation that would fit the pc plate?

The ones I used don't have any rattley or ticking problems. But there is this scratchy sound like plastic rubbing when I push down. I think its the stem rubbing against the housing. The wire is balanced and well lubed

[bleak steeple]

hi guys i have a question. so im trying to swap out the silicone in my module for the poron foam, but there’s one screw that is kind of just stuck? ive taken out all the other screws with no issues minus the one

[lapis stump]

Is it stripped or just super tight?

[bleak steeple]

it’s shouldn’t be stripped, i haven’t taken the screw out of the pcb before

it’s super tight and i’m afraid to put pressure on it to get it loose and unscrewed

[lapis stump]

It should be fine try to use a heavier duty screw driver so you get more leverage

[bleak steeple]

it isn’t budging at all

i got it!

[meager crane]

Just wondering how long gonna take kbdfans to ship ?

Cus I purchase 3 weeks ago, and they haven’t ship yet

[agile grove]

the housing probably needs to be lubed

[thick mural]

ask them, not us, wooting doesn't manage their shipments

[lapis stump]

Yeah I lubed the stems but probably need to do a coat in housing . But my thought is the pc plate with the plate mount is causing some weird warping/flexing to where the stems are rubbing really close to the housing on both sides.

[meager crane]

[thick mural]

fwiw, my shipment for my tofu and stab pads took roughly 2 weeks

try sending them an email and get some clarification

3 weeks of fulfilment sounds pretty bad, might not have stock and just haven't notified you

[meager crane]

[placid wagon]

do the geon raptors perform better than the lekkers are they about the same?

[untold wigeon]

Anyone have a problem using jades with the stock module stabs ?

[lapis stump]

nope

[agile grove]

I think everyone that has used them on the module in here haven’t had issues

[untold wigeon]

Bet thank you

Also, I’ve heard a lot of people not felt a different using burger mount. Is it worth doing

[quaint mirage]

hello, i was just wondering if the modules fit in geonworks frog mini? do you still need a custom plate or would it fit.

[quiet bay]

I would do gummy o ring mount instead as it's less stiff and way easier to do without giving you a headache

[quiet bay]

You would still need a custom plate

[quaint mirage]

damn

[quiet bay]

#996573707235491950 message these are the files for it if you wanna make it

[untold wigeon]

I am new what do u guys thnk abt micscrew gpl 205g0

[quaint mirage]

whats the WK thingy? also the screws are for the spots for the stabs, so id assume it will be a bit diff

[quiet bay]

WK = It has Windows key
WKL = It doesn't have windows key

[quaint mirage]

where can i find a place to get a custom plate laser cut?

[quiet bay]

sorry never done it so I don't know a place

maybe @stray tiger can help 🤔

[quiet bay]

Can you give link

[agile grove]

just try to find a laser cutting place near you

[quiet bay]

true that you can just google it

[untold wigeon]

Sure

https://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Universal-Lubricant-Mechanical-Stabilizer/dp/B096VSF487

[quiet bay]

tbh kind of doubt because 205g0 isn't usually that cheap

unless the tools just cost nothing lol

https://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Switches-Grease-Gateron-Mechanical/dp/B09B9RL1QQ/ref=sr_1_3? maybe something more like this

although I'd trust sites that actually sell keyboards more

like novelkeys, divinikey, etc

[untold wigeon]

If you need amazon, I have used this one and it works fine https://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Mechanical-Keyboards-Switches-Stabilizer/dp/B09W9XJF3N/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1QKBPKAVSVQI0&keywords=krytox+205g0&qid=1708104513&s=industrial&sprefix=krytox+205g%2Cindustrial%2C135&sr=1-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

Just a bit more on the expensive side compared to if you buy off a keyboard website probably. But you save on shipping so it evens out

[quiet bay]

22 dollars is crazy o.o

[untold wigeon]

Yea for a .35oz bottle

[quiet bay]

u might as well

buy it from one of the sites I suggested

[untold wigeon]

Yea if you dont need it ASAP for sure

[quiet bay]

also

You won't need .35oz of lube if you're not lubing keyboards everyday

[tawdry tree]

Get Kry from Ali. It’s quite a lot cheaper and the wait isn’t that bad either.

[untold wigeon]

Even if you are and just lubing stabs, that will last a while

[quiet bay]

also an option if you want cheaper

[gaunt linden]

Is it a good idea to buy a plate from KBD?

[untold wigeon]

Nothing wrong with them as far as ik

I need some budget friendly ones cuz i dont have alot:(

[tawdry tree]

If you don’t mind the wait get it from AliExpress.

[untold wigeon]

This is great

I havent bought this lube but I 100% trust this website

https://divinikey.com/collections/lubricant/products/205-grade-0-switch-lubricant

[gaunt linden]

I hope i dont get any issue When i buy one

[untold wigeon]

This is expensive for me

Yea it for sure is expensive

When I first bought it a while ago, I just wanted quick shipping and knew it was real

it was also a bit cheaper

[untold wigeon]

Ive seen a couple videos/reddit posts saying they used them so should be alright

[tawdry tree]

QC isn’t really great I think but their support is.

[untold wigeon]

Got a link?

Also, if i used gummy o ring wouldnt I need to use clip in stabs

[quiet bay]

https://cannonkeys.com/products/bakeneko-o-rings

I used 30a but 50a is also fine

[untold wigeon]

For sure ty

Damn, I just had an order come in from cannonkeys

[agile grove]

only the carbon fiber and fr4 plate are compatible with the wooting

[agile grove]

nope, not with the small graveshift o-ring

[untold wigeon]

Bet, thx

[untold wigeon]

@agile grove What does it actually do for the keyboard. Like what would be the difference if I did o ring or not?

[lilac island]

sup all long time no see how are we all doing today

I have a tofu redux acrylic with module. I had to take out the plate foam and replace the spacebar stabs to plate mount to fit the ring right without them catching on the edge, but i left the other screw ins and they work fine

[agile grove]

gummy mount reduces ping, stiffness, and overall makes everything sound deeper

[untold wigeon]

Gotcha, ty!

[robust bramble]

what keycaps would you suggest for around 20-30 dollars? they should be white

[agile grove]

did you already order the keyboard? if not you could order it with white keycaps

[robust bramble]

i have it already

[untold wigeon]

What color are you looking for

and what keycap profile

[agile grove]

you could still get the keycaps its just slightly more expensive https://wooting.io/product/wooting-double-shot-backlit-pbt-keycap-set-just-white

[robust bramble]

white ones

[untold wigeon]

Do you care about shine through for the rgb

[robust bramble]

yes but i dont want shine-trough ones

[robust bramble]

no i dont want it

[untold wigeon]

Okay ik one my friend has but it has some weird characters as well

[lapis stump]

i bought some keycaps from amazon but they werent very nice

[robust bramble]

ty

[lapis stump]

yeah its a lotto on the quality and thickness and consistency when youre down that price range

[untold wigeon]

If you want decent quality PBT ones, ill link one more

[robust bramble]

yes please

[robust bramble]

but they are PBT too? arent they?

[untold wigeon]

Yes but this company im sure have better QC

That is just some chinese/aliexpress drop shipping company

not thats its bad for the price

The set my friend got was quite alright

[robust bramble]

ok ty, i will try the amazon keycaps

[untold wigeon]

For sure, good luck

The best clone keycap company with decent quality on amazon is Ghost Judges if you are ever interested

But they dont have white

[robust bramble]

ok

do you know if these ones could be better? https://www.amazon.de/Keycaps-Wärmesublimation-Japanische-mechanische-Tastatur/dp/B08SR3HZHF/ref=sr_1_2?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=14W80ORPLE3XA&keywords=coral+sea+keycaps&qid=1708108679&sprefix=coral+sea+keycaps%2Caps%2C88&sr=8-2

[untold wigeon]

Buying dye sub keycaps from a random seller is always risky

It probably will not come like in the picture or will eventually mess up

Its already hard enough to look good for big companies with good QC control

[robust bramble]

yes, but there are many reviews on youtube saying that they are very good for theprice

[untold wigeon]

Then go for it, I just have personally never dealth with them so im not sure

its amazon so its easy enough to return

[devout torrent]

[lapis stump]
