[river socket]

im not gonna buy anything durock v2 or wooting 60he+ mudule stabs?

[untold wigeon]

whatever u feel like

[ivory stream]

I wanna lube my switches is there anything cheaper i can get than the wooting tool kit and lubricant?

[paper bloom]

@river socket the plate mount stabs is the same as , durock v2

In terms of qual while the module stabs are screw in which are ok

[river socket]

Ok

Which one is better wooting 60he+ module foam or tofu60 redux Case foam

[fallen crag]

There are cheaper alternatives

Can send ya some later

[warped inlet]

yep i hope someone tried it but ye for 5 euro i will try

[fallen crag]

Almost a month of delivery, wonder where they come from.. xD

[wet hazel]

Bought 28g springs for the Jades, I don't know if it was a good idea

[median spade]

28g

[agile grove]

stock stabs

[austere creek]

why does it say magnetic on it

please check they arent actually magnetic

thatll screw with the sensor if they are

[wheat hemlock]

Rip

[wet hazel]

damm, didn't try those

but the comments on the ali page said well things and people tried on lekkers/jades

so I tought there were legit

mmm they're not magnetic

probably said that because there are for "magnetic switches" (?)

[median spade]

would be weird if they were actually magnetic

dont' see what the point of that would be

[polar girder]

Yeah translation issues probs. Kind of makes sense

Springs for magnetic switches = magnetic springs

[formal comet]

28g?

they're gonna activate when you exhale

[agile grove]

im assuming thats the bottom out force

[formal comet]

I slapped some GMK Mictlan on my 60he

[median spade]

yeah for the listing where they got them it is indeed bottom out

[agile grove]

how do you even use that

[median spade]

idk

[agile grove]

you just straight up cant touch your keyboard anymore without the keys getting pressed down

[median spade]

I used true bottom out 37g on the mx side and it was like typing on air with errors left and right

[formal comet]

isn't the bottom out force always higher than the activation force?

so the activation force is even less than 28g?

[agile grove]

yep

[crimson sky]

Unless you activate on bottom out or on a tactile bump

[formal comet]

ah yeah I guess activation force doesn't make a lot of sense if you can put the activation point anywhere

but i mean like, the force required to partially press it

[crimson sky]

would be nice if they gave you starting force then

Or just a force graph

[gritty stirrup]

o/ do i have to do anything in the wooting software if im using jade switches?

[austere creek]

just expect not to be able to use the full range of 4mm in software

[agile grove]

download the beta

[gritty stirrup]

tyty

[agile grove]

https://beta.wootility.io

beta firmware should fix a lot of issues

[wet hazel]

Well my theory behind the buy was, mmm switching from 60g to L45 was awesome, super light, no fatigue on work (I type a lot).

Buying Jades and having a little more weight didn't like a lot the feeling so... Why not trying the lowest and see what happens lmao

[agile grove]

f around and find out

I like it

[wet hazel]

Probably it'll feel like like s***t but I need to test it out

[wind karma]

if 40g isnt much different from 37g then id just say you can get used to it

i've been on 40g for about 4 years at this point

but yeah sometimes if im feeling lazy i do make typos

[shrewd dragon]

is there some settings that wont work properly?

[wind karma]

aren't the jades also 45g or something?

[wind karma]

just actuation point

[wet hazel]

They feel a heavier than L45

[wind karma]

since the jades have 0.5mm less travel than the lekker switches

[wet hazel]

At least for me

[wind karma]

oh

[median spade]

for me I need long springs at 62g or else i never adjust

so like 59g actuation with 62g bottom out

[median spade]

they do bottom out at 50g where l45 are 45g liek they say

[austere creek]

no

[wind karma]

oh

[austere creek]

they should all be broken to some degree

[wind karma]

i see

[shrewd dragon]

Okay just ordered some jades for my 80HE i will preorder in some months hopefully and i wasnt sure if a made the right decision i mean probably not bcs in the mean time there will be other switch releases with the full range 4mm plus magnetic

[austere creek]

as the magnetic jades have a stronger magnet saturating the sensor sooner

so the end value is somewhere in the press travel not 4mm

and the start is at 0

there is a sort of +- area we can calibrate for in terms of magnet strength but the jades are too strong

[wind karma]

oh

[austere creek]

theres already a lot of switches with 4mm range and magnetic

[shrewd dragon]

welpo

[median spade]

I was under the impression it's the same stem as normal lekker and magnet too interesting to learn

[austere creek]

as far as im aware (from talking to firmware dev) they saturate our sensors super quick aka before getting to 4mm

[median spade]

[shrewd dragon]

i think i will just see how i like them and maybe put them in the 60HE i have

[austere creek]

meaning our board would map the 0-4mm onto a shorter travel aka no values actually match the real world

be it actuation point or rt

[empty sinew]

don't many people use jades with Wooting?

or are those other types and not magnetic

[austere creek]

you can use them its not that they dont work

[wet hazel]

That can be tested using the rgb effect that indicates pressure?

[austere creek]

but using the settings accurately is not a thing to my knowledge with jades

[austere creek]

yes

[empty sinew]

yeah I know it won't be perfect but I've talked with few friends who use them on Wooting and they have pretty good performance, everything works pretty much in line.

[median spade]

i haven't even adjusted anything for my profile with the jades

[shrewd dragon]

i guess u gotta test it urself i will do so when my jades and keycaps plus Orings arrive

[agile grove]

iirc this is the issue raptors have, the issue jades have is they have a shorter travel distance

[austere creek]

hm i heard jades are too strong i could be mixing it up though

[median spade]

geon did say that raptors have stronger magnet

[wet hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/looney-tunes-coyote-chick-magnet-eyebrows-wiggle-gif-16848121

[austere creek]

btw shorter travel has the same issues though

because we then map 0-4 to whatever shorter travel

so depending on how much shorter it is youd have more or less accuracy compared to our switches

but yes seems i mixed them up and the jades do fall somewhat in line as what we expect in terms of magnetic flux

[agile grove]

the beta firmware solves some issues with the jades by assuming the travel distance is 3.5mm (iirc) until a key is pressed. this allows you to use the full actuation slider in wootility, however it wont be very accurate.

[austere creek]

i havent heard of such a change id need to ask

the only changes im aware of is the analog smoothing and dynamic start and end value adjustment

it should still work on 0-4mm basis though

although 0.5mm over 40steps isnt all that much loss of accuracy

[pastel vigil]

I think the answer is yes, but basically the 60he+ can have clip in, pcb mounted or screw in stabilizers, correct?

I'm looking at getting some TX screw ins, 1.6m and long pole (using magnetic jades)

[tawdry crown]

could putting o rings on keycaps affect the hall effect/rappid trigger/actuation? I lubed the lekkers but still sound scratchy, fell the o rings dampen the scrathiness a bit

[bitter valve]

Have you seen? https://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?ut_sk=1.ZQ3AswRwbCQDAO5shoZwhiIN_21380790_1709224881029.Copy.1&id=758533694677&sourceType=item&price=499&suid=59D2F05A-B152-4060-A9C5-E667A268482E&shareUniqueId=25654331040&un=262d2a852a8d95d5e0335b3d60d0dc53&share_crt_v=1&un_site=0&spm=a2159r.13376460.0.0&sp_abtk=gray_1_code_simpleios2&tbSocialPopKey=shareItem&sp_tk=bUppZFdsRHlDb3Q%3D&cpp=1&shareurl=true&short_name=h.5vNWgXGQWLFh7q8&bxsign=scd5Yi5NtEUVv1bSVorE-eiVoSQPJkaG7cn3JKT3SNtD-VbtH2HXccT_kLmOn0fj_-FnB2w-I87NLlN9IcqZPySx6Vi-Wa_5MwPsq7epcYpHLlu0l0585jZmngc8mvygNnrTG_vnMCwXuEz4SOASZ45Aw&tk=mJidWlDyCot&app=macos_safari

[glacial wind]

Most cursed link ever

[untold wigeon]

i want to know this aswell

[median spade]

don't really need the long pole tbh as they work just fine with regular ones

issues arise from poor quality keycaps

Just if you ever want to switch to another style of he switch in the future then the long pole ones will be more awkward with normal switches then the other way around

[pastel vigil]

but other than that, a screw in pcb mount should work? If I get different switches in the future I can always just get another stabilizer kit or use the stock ones again.

[median spade]

Yeah that's true

[harsh dove]

My man, edit your message and delete everything after the “?”

[median spade]

Was just adding in case you didn't want to swap stabs again

[pastel vigil]

Thank you, just wanted to get a second opinion before I confirmed the purchase.

[harsh dove]

https://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?

Fixed it

[gaunt marten]

Tx stabs might not work out of the box with the module

Might require u to sand the pc plate

Depends on ur luck due to tolerance

Mine works fine

But very tight

[pastel vigil]

It's either this or the Gateron V2s but I seem to find more people recommending the TX stabs.

Thanks though, if mine don't work ill give em a lil sand.

[bitter valve]

That one just points to nothing lol

[uncut musk]

yeah

[harsh dove]

Exactly

[bitter valve]

Mine points to this

[uncut musk]

why is taobao so zoomed in wtf

[bitter valve]

In case you have troubles seeing lol

[harsh dove]

http://surl.li/rbsqc

Even shorter this time

And it works

[bitter valve]

Why are you so offended by the link size?:D

[harsh dove]

It’s obnoxious

Makes my eyes cry

[sweet oak]

Optimizing to the max

[median spade]

tx stabs are the best but plate tolerances right are a gg if you get to use the tx or not

for example i had custom pom plate made, and guy makes the stab cutouts tight which is good thing

but it was so tight with my tx stabs they were slow to return so had to go back to stock

which is fine since plate is so tight that the stock stabs are doing great

[pastel vigil]

Good to keep in mind, I appreciate you sharing

[formal comet]

cause it's a link to a mobile website

that doesn't do responsive very well

[paper tiger]

what is taobao

[bitter valve]

Haha, I’m sorry, man

[bitter valve]

Aliexpress but not worldwide available

[agile grove]

pretty much chinese amazon

has a lot of things you can only get in china

[harsh dove]

lol no worries, I’m not being serious

[dull cipher]

Hey does anyone know a source to get custom keycaps made im looking to get a set made

[quiet bay]

https://goblintechkeys.com I think these guys do

[dull cipher]

i cant see the uk layout made for that company

[normal schooner]

even this name is ok.

I just wanted to say that

We are not strict in modding but some people dont even do letters/numerics

[mystic pumice]

I know this is a Wooting server but would this be an okay setup?

Anything else I would need for it to work or is this enough?

[bleak steeple]

well you’d probably need the cable

and a case

if you already have those then yes

[mystic pumice]

The barebone comes with a case and cable

[bleak steeple]

ohh i didn’t know that

then ur all set it seems

😎😎

[mystic pumice]

Dual gasket mount apparently

[polar girder]

No cuz it’s not Wooting lulz

[mystic pumice]

Anyone tried the WS Jade switch? if yes how do you like them?

[mystic pumice]

Already have a Wooting but I want to try to get my first custom non-HE keyboard

[tight berry]

Hey Guys I want to make A wooting custom keyboard, I made this on the wooting website Do you think its gonna fit all?

[mystic pumice]

You are good to go 😉

[tight berry]

aitt

[mystic pumice]

You even went more balls to the wall than me. I just bought the 60HE(non+) without the alumaze. I just got everything stock except for keycaps. I switched from black ABS to Black PBT

Later on I upgraded to Gateron Jade switches

[tight berry]

That is nice man!

[mystic pumice]

Since you got the + version then I can only recommend getting screw in stabilizers down the line if you ever wanna do work on your keyboard

[deep mortar]

Is that PBT keycap set a must thing?

[mystic pumice]

No

[deep mortar]

Appreciate

[tight berry]

alr i will!

[agile grove]

the module comes with screw in stabs

[agile grove]

read above

[mystic pumice]

Do you want to not get keycaps or do you want ABS? What do you mean?

[mystic pumice]

Ah I did not know they came included

I just thought the + version just supported it

[agile grove]

it does. the prebuilt comes with plate mount, the module comes with screw in.

[mystic pumice]

Ah I thought he was choosing options for a prebuilt option

My bad

[agile grove]

np

[tight berry]

read to what?

[mystic pumice]

What I said about getting screw in stabs you just forget what i said

The module you are getting already have them installed 😉

[tight berry]

aa alr good to know!

[tight berry]

if i buy that Do you think that i get cable to?

for connecting to my [c

pc*

[mystic pumice]

I actually don't know...

Someone must know

[tight berry]

alr

[stray tiger]

Cable is included

[agile grove]

the module comes with a cable

[tight berry]

Ait good to know thanks!

[polar girder]

The + comes with screw in stabs

[idle pier]

Is there a list of best mods for the wooting? I kinda want to go all in but don't know where to start

[stray tiger]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399

[agile grove]

it doesnt

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[idle pier]

Somehow never saw the "best mods" part, tysm

[stray tiger]

There is no best mods, only mods. Best is up to each person.

[idle pier]

Im a complete noob here sorry ahah and thanks for your advice.
Apart from lubing switches and stabs i dont really know what more I can do then, since it looks like tape mod doesnt work and my keyboard is burger mounted atm with jades and alumaze case

[median spade]

yeah modding keyboards is all really down to preference

since there is no best and just what you like/prefer

i mean other then lubing stabs

[stray tiger]

You may not need to do anything else. Modding is done to solve a problem or change something unwated. if you're happy then thats amazing

[ornate plank]

Hello, does anyone know what the 2 white screws that Wooting 60he includes in the transparent bag inside its box are for? Is it a replacement for interior screws or what are they really for?

[wispy thistle]

is stem swapping raptors with l45s a thing, or l45s dont have stem wobble to bother doing that?

[untold wigeon]

l45 have stem wobble

and yeah u could do that

[wispy thistle]

oh i dont have either l45 or l60. was going to order some raptors and stem swap. but how would i decide between l45 and l60. any difference? all the stem swap sound tests ive seen was using l60

[untold wigeon]

ive just seen l60 aswell

i have no experience in this, hopefully someone else that has can answer your question, sorry.

[stray tiger]

No difference with the stems

[wispy thistle]

ok thanks

[median spade]

theyre all lying it's a HUGE difference

one is teal and one is yellow!!

massive difference ifyou ask me as those colors are not even remotely the same

[wispy thistle]

yea im going to have to go with the teal on this one. its a big decision tho, so ill sit on it for a week and get back to you.

so is there anything you else you need if your trying to make stem swapped raptors. like films or something idk.

or i guess the right question would be how do the switch films affect the sound

[boreal fjord]

Is anyone aware if i can change the springs in raptor switches

would like a higher tension

I asked in another server didnt get anywhere

[harsh dove]

In my opinion switch films don’t change sound much, but they do tighten the housing if you feel like you having housing wobble

[boreal fjord]

Was told he springs are different than a standard switch

[harsh dove]

Yeah can spring swap but they need to be non magnetic springs

[harsh dove]

They are

[wispy thistle]

do the jades or stem swapped raptors need them?

[boreal fjord]

Rip does this include tx springs

[untold wigeon]

im sorry if this is a stupid question but why is GMK keycaps so expensive? aint they ABS which what i thought is worse than DS PBT?

[boreal fjord]

I have GMK keycaps but i honestly cant answer that other than the process of it

[stray tiger]

Yes. The HE springs are a larger diameter as well

[boreal fjord]

Mmm okay thank you, i guess ill be waiting till theres more third party springs readily available on the market

[harsh dove]

Wooting will be releasing a variety spring pack soon

[wispy thistle]

here is a reddit response i read

High-end ABS sets like ones from GMK are generally the most expensive because they produce the highest quality legends with their double shot process. ABS plastic also allows for basically any colour combination imaginable. They are vastly different from the cheapo dogshit ABS shinethrough keycaps that gaming keyboards usually come with and are usually what people refer to when people say that ABS is inferior to PBT.

[stray tiger]

Plus they are made by Germans so you know they are quality. Think Volkswagen

[untold wigeon]

think audi.

[harsh dove]

Exactly what I was gonna say

[untold wigeon]

perfect thanks

[wispy thistle]

also this

One material isn't simply better than the other, it just depends on what you value more in your keycaps. High-end ABS if you're looking for more colour options and crisper legends, PBT if you hate shine and can live with not having the highest possible quality legends.

[harsh dove]

But yeah abs allows for wider color palette

[untold wigeon]

yes i hate shine

[harsh dove]

Yep same thing as modding really

All personal

[untold wigeon]

although cam will be sending me his Olivia GMK set aint that right?

[harsh dove]

Lmao

[wispy thistle]

also for sound profiile ive heard gmk double shot abs generally has a sligthly clackier sound. if thats what your going for. someone else can confirm

[harsh dove]

Can confirm

[untold wigeon]

going for the opposite

[harsh dove]

PBT is better for thock

Abs for clack

[untold wigeon]

problem solved

[wispy thistle]

same thats why i went pbt as well

[harsh dove]

GMK spacebars hold a special place in my heart tho

[untold wigeon]

man aint there a single set like GMK olivia thats DS PBT?

wait

how’s this site?

[harsh dove]

Clones

They’re fine if you want clones

They’re not real GMK tho if that bothers you

[untold wigeon]

oh

damn

[wispy thistle]

https://novelkeys.com/collections/dyesub-pbt/products/cherry-olivia

[bitter valve]

Is there anyone interested in monitors? I need a few suggestions 🤔

[wispy thistle]

ive heard good things about novelkeys maybe check that clone @untold wigeon

[wind karma]

does the klippe T’s usb cutout perfectly line up with the 60he’s

[harsh dove]

Didn’t realize even the pre designed were handmade

I sent him my condolences tho

[polar girder]

What?

[harsh dove]

I think he’s just specifying that the 60HE+ Module comes with screw in stabs, whereas the prebuilt 60HE+ comes with plate mount stabs.
Both are compatible with plate mount or screw in though. They just come packaged differently .

correct me if wrong

[polar girder]

Ahhhh

Right right

Mb

[boreal fjord]

Interesting when is this

[harsh dove]

I don’t have that information unfortunately

[glossy pagoda]

Multiple individual packs, not one pack with a variety

Next month or two somewhere, they're being made

[harsh dove]

Ah thanks for clarifying, makes sense

[glossy pagoda]

It was originally a multipack, that changed somewhere along the line

[agile grove]

ahh gotcha

[harsh dove]

Ah okay that makes perfect sense

[empty sinew]

who here ordered from https://mechkeys.com/ before?

[harsh dove]

Got my KS20u from them

[empty sinew]

how long did it take before they shipped the order?

because tomorrow will be kindof 3-4 day since I ordered

and they didn't ship yet

its pretty unsual to me :\

[harsh dove]

I ordered on the 31st and got them on the 9th

So lil over a week

[empty sinew]

I mean like they havent yet handed over the package to the courier yet

[harsh dove]

Yeah I get you

[empty sinew]

Do you remember how long did it take for them to go from ordered to shipped?

Or maybe see in the email

[harsh dove]

Shipped on Feb 1st

So two days from order

[empty sinew]

Damn thanks

Guess Ill have to send an email tomorrow

[harsh dove]

They’ll probably have them shipped by tomorrow lol

[empty sinew]

Hope so

2nd wooting module is on the way and I need em ;/

[hazy citrus]

just ordered stuff for my build! thoughts? (also ordered some o-rings and grease on amazon for stabs and burger mount)

im gonna use the red accent caps to go with my red g pro SL

[harsh dove]

Seems solid brother

[hazy citrus]

ill have to post it once i get the stuff in and assemble it

[harsh dove]

Yep, keep us updated

[harsh dove]

Got some new switch containers

[median spade]

pretty normal just everyone too used to amazon prime shipping

[agile grove]

get a label maker

[placid blaze]

the containers are transparent 😳

[wide kraken]

10 days for me (feb 18->28)

[marsh saffron]

When my order got to the warehouse it took 8 days to leave and like 6-8 to ship to my house

[wide kraken]

hmm... kinda obvious in hindsight but only just now realizing that tall profiles like MT3/SA kinda accentuate the lekker stem wobble noises

tested swapping to a cheapo xda clone set that I bought for the modifiers to use on a different keyboard... sounds so much more stable/clean lol

but muh fingers need to be cupped

[void blade]

I've been planning on building a custom 60he+ for a few months now but cannot decide on switches. I currently have cherry mx red switches but my brain is saying L45 switches instead of L60s. I know there is 3rd party switches but I've seen some issues with them such as actuation not being able to hit 0.1 if I read correctly, unless new ones are planned to be officially released soon or there is a good combo of the two if i take them apart. Money isn't to much of a concern

[gaunt echo]

I’ve had my wooting 2 lekker for about 2 or 3 years not sure I don’t remember when I got it tbh but I love it any mods I should do to make it better? Nothing is wrong with it only thing is that I dropped it and one of the little legs broke but it I lay it flat anyway

[tame vessel]

Modding the keyboard is more of just a preference thing. They just mess around with the sound for the most part so it won't make anything better per se. If you're curious about it one of the easier mods you can do is the tape mod which is just applying a 1-3 layers of painter's/masking/electical tape on the back of the PCB

[wide kraken]

if you want something a bit more involved, you can get a small pack of butyl sound deadener and cut pieces to line the inside of the plastic bottom case. reduces some of the hollow sounds.

there's also standard layout plate foams out there

but if you don't mind the sound then those are kinda moot

[pastel vigil]

Do you know what spring weight and length they use in the lekkers?

[pastel vigil]

Have you tried them yet?

[harsh dove]

I'm not sure on the exact length but L45s are 30cN - 45cN and the L60s are 40cN - 60cN

[pastel vigil]

Ty, would any set of springs work if I wanted to try out different lenghts and weights?

[harsh dove]

Not just any set because you have to make sure they aren't magnetic and are the same diameter

[pastel vigil]

Any recommendations? Im new to all of this.

[harsh dove]

I think some people have been trying out the ones on AliExpress that say they're compatible with wooting

[median spade]

That aliexpress link the only place to buy them rn

[harsh dove]

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/1005006360225162.html?

[pastel vigil]

Same deal for Raptor or Jade switches too?

Since they all have magnets?

[pale cloud]

Why do we need the module? If I purchase just 60he+ I can’t mod it?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[pastel vigil]

You can.

[hazy citrus]

its an option if you dont already have the prebuilt

cheaper

[pastel vigil]

Ty for all the info!

[pale cloud]

Ah I see Tysm but what’s the extra + module useful for?

[pastel vigil]

It's the exact same as whats in the prebuilt.

[harsh dove]

Yeah same PCB, just different package

The Prebuilt comes with a steel plate and plate mount stabs, the standalone module comes with screw in stabs and a PC plate

[pastel vigil]

The HE+ has support for screw in stabilizers compared to the HE. They didn't offer HE module, only prebuilt iirc. For HE+ they are doing both.

[harsh dove]

Yeah it used to be just the regular HE with plate mount stabs

[pale cloud]

Ah

[pastel vigil]

The prebuilt is not much more money than the moduel so I got it just to mess around with and have some spare switches and keycaps, and to compare the feel of it stock vs when am done modding it.

[hazy citrus]

yeah i got the module cause i wanted the PC plate & screw in stabs and it comes with it by default

[harsh dove]

For someone like me, I should definitely have one, I’ll look into it

[pastel vigil]

This is random but what style of keycap and switch puller works best? And what's a good one to cop? Or is a cheapo from temu just the same?

[gaunt marten]

Its recommended to swap the stem for raptor switches

#🪛│modding_faq message

[hazy citrus]

ahh yeah I saw that

I'm gonna have to test if it effects me if it does I might swap switches

but the raptors sound a bit nicer so I was gonna try em out

[median spade]

Tbh most people won’t like them stem swapped

Due to the friction it causes

I liked mine but I also like my switches “heavier” as it just made them feel like 62gish if I had to say

[gaunt marten]

Ultimate comes down to ur luck

I wouldn't recommend raptor in general because of the magnet issue

That's just me

[fluid ravine]

I mean overtime, the more you use it, it should smoothen out overtime

Personally i aint doin all that :^

[gaunt marten]

Yup

Rather buy jades or peaches

[gleaming crane]

Anyone know where I can get some washers for my screw in stabs?

[gaunt marten]

Its just an m2 washer no?

[idle pier]

Im trying to fix a bit of the "stiffness" but thats probably imp on the wooting?
Also it sounds a bit metallic whenever i bottom out on certain keys at the middle of the board, other than that im super happy

[gleaming crane]

Yeah

[harsh dove]

You can try getting the wooting pc plate (polycarbonate) to help with that metallic sound, assuming you don’t already have one

[idle pier]

I do ahah, i have the module 😉

I put foam in between plate and pcb + foam in the case

Maybe i should try removing one of these

[harsh dove]

Ah ok, very nice, my b
Do you have it mounted normally aka just screwed in or did you burger mount/gummy mount?

[strange blaze]

Peaches?

[gaunt marten]

Magnetic Orange 2.0/KS20u/Peaches

[quick gulch]

They don’t sell them out of the kit though right?

[gaunt marten]

No

U buy them from a seperate retailer

[quick gulch]

Oh yea gateron sell the 2.0 switches

I was thinking about the ones with the full orange housing that they don’t sell separately

[idle pier]

I put little o rings between the case and the pcb, im not sure if thats the correct way to do it?

[harsh dove]

Yeah its kind of the same thing, burger mount is slightly different, I do recommend the Gummy O Ring Mount/Friction Mount, if you haven't tried it.
Might help with that metallic sound you're referring too

[gaunt marten]

Currently waiting gummy o rings to be restock

Guy said 2-3 weeks eta

Hopium

[empty sinew]

whats the friction mount?

Isn't that only for the prebuilt

like where you put this large gum around the whole pcb and then mount

[wet hazel]

Gummy O Ring

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8U6prjMZ_MM

[harsh dove]

Yessir, and it's not restricted to the prebuilt

Only thing to keep in mind is if you're using screw in stabs then you need a S-size O-ring and if using Clip ins or Plate mount stabs then you need an M-size O-ring

[fallen crag]

Just go buy them in a hardware store

Or if you need one with special measurments, just order a cord and make one yourself

[gaunt marten]

They too short

Is ok ill just wait and cope

[fallen crag]

This is good for sticking them together

[untold wigeon]

why cant i have the o-ring in EU

@harsh dove sry ping but do u know if graveshift small 45A fit wooting module?

[gaunt marten]

yes

[untold wigeon]

it does??

u sure?

[onyx pier]

Anyone have issue with tx stabs on the wooting module? Currently using raptors and cerakeys

[harsh dove]

If you're using screw in stabs, yes

[untold wigeon]

yeah i am

[gaunt marten]

its a known issue

tolerance with the pc plate

u might need to sand it down

[untold wigeon]

the default that came with the module

[gaunt marten]

mine works fine

[onyx pier]

Like it can fit in and all

[untold wigeon]

so we are 100% sure it fits?

[gaunt marten]

depends on ur luck

[onyx pier]

Is just that the spacebar is not going up after pressing it down it goes up but not all the way

[harsh dove]

Yeah if you're using the stock screw ins, you can get the small o ring

What case do you have?

[untold wigeon]

45A, i saw u used 40A

tofu redux

[harsh dove]

I haven't tested it with screws in on the redux yet but it worked fine on the alumaze and salvation

[gaunt marten]

try pressing the switch

see if its fully seated

[harsh dove]

45a is fine

[gaunt marten]

and check if u installed the stab properly

[untold wigeon]

alright

i hope

ill order it then

[onyx pier]

Will it change if i use just normal wooting keycaps or something

I am sure its installed properly the stabs

[untold wigeon]

nah here we go again

20$ shipping

[gaunt marten]

HAHHAHA

[untold wigeon]

for a fucking o-ring is this a joke

[onyx pier]

Maybe a heavier spring will help with it

[untold wigeon]

bro

ffs

[gaunt marten]

thats why im waiting for local guy to restock some o rings

[untold wigeon]

where u from if u dont mind me asking

[gaunt marten]

MY

Malaysia

[untold wigeon]

idk what that is xd

[onyx pier]

Keycaps dont sit well aswell😭

[untold wigeon]

oh

bruhh

wtf can i do

[gaunt marten]

seems like cerakey things

u can put tape on the keycap stem

[onyx pier]

Yea

[untold wigeon]

go south facing

ez fix

[gaunt marten]

its an issue with the keycap + stab itself

[untold wigeon]

oh

[gaunt marten]

basically dem holes too beeg

[untold wigeon]

damn

[idle pier]

Is that the ring that goes all the way around the case?

[gaunt marten]

pop up issue

[harsh dove]

Around the pcb, yeah

[gaunt marten]

r u using jades?

[onyx pier]

Raptors

[fallen crag]

Just buy a cord and cut it yourself

[onyx pier]

Stock raptors

[gaunt marten]

so it aint long pole issue

just keycap diffed

[idle pier]

Interesting, i'll try that for sure. Any recommendation for where to buy it ? Im in europe btw, france

[gaunt marten]

keycap popup happens mostly when the tolerance between certain keycap and certain stabs have skill issue

[harsh dove]

https://keebcats.co.uk/products/graveshift-s-o-rings

Idk how shipping might be for you

[austere creek]

colored spaghetti

[untold wigeon]

i saw that

20$

[untold wigeon]

nah cba

[fallen crag]

Also gonna try a few things with those

[gaunt marten]

im gonna wait for dem 2$ 55A gummy o rings to restock

tx ap clip ins saves the day

if not i have to cope with graveshift

[fallen crag]

Then u gotta pay the extra and wait longer xD

[untold wigeon]

prolly

i emailed graveshift already

[empty sinew]

but tbh

its fine without this mount

not sure why you would even want it, my board sounds amazing in the tofu without any of those mounts, just 4 screws and thats it

[idle pier]

Looks like 15€ mhhh

But thanks for the advice ill try to find one 😎

[harsh dove]

Yeah no problem, best of luck

[ornate plank]

Hello, does anyone know what the 2 white screws that Wooting 60he includes in the transparent bag inside its box are for? Is it a replacement for interior screws or what are they really for?

[iron mesa]

With translucent keycaps

[idle pier]

So like, if i put this the keyboard is essentially locked in the case just thanks to the o ring?

[harsh dove]

Right, you don't have to use any screws with Gummy O Ring Mount/Friction Mount

[gaunt marten]

Spare screws

Incase u lose em

[pale cloud]

Is it worth getting an fr4 plate swap on the wooting?

The wooting comes with a pc plate right?

[fallen crag]

The 60HE+ Modul comes with PC plate and silicone pad pre installed, the normal pre-build 60HE+ comes with steel plate and poron foam pre installed

The module also comes with poron foam as replacemen and already got screw in stabs, unlike the pre-build, which has just plate mounted (clip in) stabs.

[untold wigeon]

i need my ansi module

ffs

[fallen crag]

Should have been more careful ;p

Still no reply to your email?

[untold wigeon]

yeah

life

[fallen crag]

Would be so easy to fix too, but i cant find that god damn LED from the PDF Mansen posted, the code doesnt exist.. .-.

[untold wigeon]

i have the pdf but i cant find it either

https://datasheet.lcsc.com/lcsc/2204181745_Everlight-Elec-67-23-RSHGRBYC-M050505-ET1-CS_C183826.pdf

[idle pier]

Any idea how silicone performs sound wise vs poron ? Trying to get some thocc

[fallen crag]

It may be an intern number, and we only see the customer one

[untold wigeon]

could be, cant find or buy it anywhere

90$ LED

[fallen crag]

Silicone filters low pitch, poron high pitch

[untold wigeon]

and to change layout

[idle pier]

Thankss, so deffo foam is the way to go

[fallen crag]

This is with PC plate, silicone pad, silicone rings on the stand offs and hand lubed switches

Except D, which i left with stock lube, to compare

[idle pier]

Hand lube sounds so much deeper, crazy

What switches is that?

[fallen crag]

L60

[wet hazel]

Hand Lube is always recommended as an improvement over factory lubbing

[fallen crag]

I overlubed them a little too

[wet hazel]

that will make sound more deep/silent

[fallen crag]

Just dont go too wild on it, or it may cause issues/demage

[loud zephyr]

such a good set

[fallen crag]

-> the lube should stay inside the switch and not squeeze out, or hinder the key in its movement speed

[idle pier]

Ill try lubing my jades. Never lubed switches before, will be a fun experience

[loud zephyr]

it'll be 4 hours of torture

but worth

[fallen crag]

Takes ages

So prep to take some time

Was my first time lubing/modding my keyboard as well, took me from 18:00 to almost midnight xD

Also remember how the switches went in, or you will end up like @untold wigeon

[untold wigeon]

hahah

[fallen crag]

Best to take pictures of how it was as a beginner

[loud zephyr]

just dip it

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/736068583372750859/1099994884305342475/images20.jpg?width=886&height=498&ex=65eed311&is=65dc5e11&hm=43338c07c4b326b036e6693681d60a19bc64867436c46993c6eafe8b3b5c3f68&

[wet hazel]

I recognise that video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAW_vD0BzgM

[fallen crag]

@idle pier Oh, and forgot to say that this is the Alumaze and not the plastic housing

[shell crown]

BRO it took me max 2 hours my first time

[wet hazel]

For me it was like 1 song per switch, so around 3 hours

[gaunt marten]

took me like 6h for my first time including stabs, switches, building keeb

basically shit was slow asf because i was using the lube station

[cyan adder]

im selling my switches tape modded switches set (lekkers60) if someone in france want them. 3 layers of gentle paper tape; lube broke in already; I use jades now and literally have no use of my old lekkers (hand lubed top; bottom housing; stem with 205G0 and spring with 105G0)

[warped inlet]

anyone here have tried keebtape for tapemod?

[fading silo]

Is there someone who can help me find the right stabs for the wooting 60he PCB non+ variant, one of my stabs broke 🙂

[shell crown]

useless

[shell crown]

Clip in stabs

[fading silo]

Yeah I am aware of this. But Im pretty sure I need some specific sizes

[warped inlet]

i read that with pc plate help

[shell crown]

? Help with what

[shell crown]

What key?

[warped inlet]

to deep sound, in my keychron definitely helped, but i read the wooting with tofu and steel plate doesn't help so much to do tape mod, but with pc plate yes

[strange blaze]

What the actual FU-

[median spade]

first step is to forget everything and not compare to your keychron

as your wooting will never sound the same ever

[agile grove]

this is wrong

[agile grove]

plate mount stabs, pretty sure wooting just uses gateron stabs

[shell crown]

They are clip ins

There exist 2 types which are clip in or screw in

No plate mount

[limpid saddle]

Quick question i have a 60he+ coming in next week and i was looking for black ish transparent keycaps without breaking the bank, do you guys have any recommendations?

[shell crown]

No

Transparent I never found for cheap

[limpid saddle]

Alright what about expensive lmao

[shell crown]

Not sure about that color

I know pink only, left keeb modding community some time ago

[limpid saddle]

i see well thanks anyways!

[median spade]

he said not 60he+ so it would indeed just be plate mount

[craggy cipher]

How about this?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006362782147.html

[limpid saddle]

Looks good thank you!

[shell crown]

Plate mount is what is called clip in.

It's not about mounting point, it's about mounting technique

[median spade]

No

It's not

[shell crown]

Yes it is

[median spade]

Clip in is clip in on the pcb

Plate mount is always been known as plate mount

[shell crown]

Clip in is no clip in on pcb

Pcb is screw in

[median spade]

Literally no lol

If you tell someone to buy clip in stabilizers and they have no holes on the pcb

they will buy these

[shell crown]

Pcb has clip in and screw in, plate has only clip in

[median spade]

No one calls plate mount stabilizers clip ins

When you have pcb mounted stabilizers they are either clip in or screw in

[shell crown]

Yes

Plate mounted are clip ins

[median spade]

do me a favor

[shell crown]

They are clip ins...

Tfym

[median spade]

google clip in stabilizers and let me know what shows up

Not one listing for plate mounted stabilizers will show

[shell crown]

[fallen crag]

Imagine doing it after a hard 12h shift.
You aslo opened up every single switch?

2 min per switch would be pretty fast for the first time

[median spade]

We got JIS layout before tsangan/7u bottom row on 60he

[shell crown]

Yes, its simple tfym

[fallen crag]

Means i was tired and exhausted when i did it

[strange blaze]

That pic is literally when you tell bro to put on a small amount of lube💀

[craggy cipher]

Were you able to resolve the name of the stabilizer?

[quiet wave]

forgot to post but finished my build with the wooting module

[primal pollen]

Are the clip in TX AP stabs still an issue for some people?

[formal swan]

Hi friends. I just ordered a wooting HE+ and I'm looking to get all the other parts I will need for modding. Outside of Graveshift S O-Rings, anything else people are commonly putting on?

[tawdry tree]

Not an issue if you’re willing to sand the stabilizer holes a bit wider in the switch plate.

[harsh dove]

Can you show me which wooting you bought?

[harsh dove]

I’ve tested 3 kinds of TX AP Stabs on the Wooting PC Plate with no issues, however some users have reported their stabs getting stuck or the plate not fitting over the stabs. Primarily with tx ap screw ins but it can happen with clip ins as well.
Again I’ve had no issues but some have so your mileage may vary

They will not work on the wooting steel plate

[gaunt marten]

have u tried a different pc plate is the question

[harsh dove]

Yes I have 3 of them

[gaunt marten]

KEK

[harsh dove]

Lmao

I had to make sure

For tolerance variance

[gaunt marten]

mine works fine

so

[harsh dove]

Yeah all of mine work

[gaunt marten]

althought it was very tight

for the first time

[harsh dove]

Yeah it is

It was tight my with carbon fiber plate too but still works perfectly

With the tx ap clip ins

[primal pollen]

Thanks for the info! I have the FR4 plate waiting in case.

[tawdry tree]

I can get them through the PC plates but steel is a no go. On paper they don’t fit and steel is just sturdy whereas PC isn’t.

[primal pollen]

Has anyone used the S sized oring with the clip ins? As I know with the m size and clip ins... its hard to get back out of the case

[untold wigeon]

@harsh dove the gmk olivas whenever your ready...thanks.

[gaunt marten]

Certain people have issues with the fr4 i think

[strange blaze]

Hey does anyone here speak german i wanna ask smth

[agile grove]

what hardness?

[untold wigeon]

cant use translate?

[primal pollen]

40a

[strange blaze]

Might not be accurate especially with modding stuff

Yk

[untold wigeon]

ah i feel

[harsh dove]

If it’s the FR4 plate from KDBFans I believe it doesn’t work, but I cannot remember why

[untold wigeon]

sorry

[gaunt marten]

Yeah same

[strange blaze]

Yep dont want to get things mixed up :)

[harsh dove]

I’ve only tried the s ring with screw in as you don’t need them for clip ins , you need m size.
If you feel it’s too tight, have you tried removing the plate foam?

I can test with s ring real quick in my tofu with tx ap clips ins

[agile grove]

I've found that over time it becomes a lot easier to put in and take out

[harsh dove]

Yeah as things break in/get worn

[agile grove]

first few times were so hard

[harsh dove]

Oh wait you mean the gummy mount

Yeah that gets easier as the foam compresses

If you’re using foam

[untold wigeon]

cam can u see how much it cost u to ship a gummy oring to sweden

ill pay u for it literally

[harsh dove]

Lmao I’d have to check at work

[primal pollen]

Ah the foam is probably the issue

[untold wigeon]

can u check acutally?

[harsh dove]

Yessir , overtime the foam will compress under the pressure from the ring and should become easier or you can try removing the plate foam and see if you like the sound that way

But it will be easier without plate foam

[harsh dove]

Yeah when I’m at work

[untold wigeon]

bet shoot me a DM whenever

[harsh dove]

Alright

[agile grove]

currently I have plate foam and gummy mount and when I push the pcb to the back of my case some of my keys get very dim RGB due to the foam compressing over the LED

[idle pier]

Holy fuck, sorry for the late answer! Thanks for your advice
Does lubing the stabs also make a drastic difference?

[tawdry tree]

You just need the right dimensions and durometer hardness. You can get any, they do not have to be marketed towards keyboard modding.

[harsh dove]

Interesting, never really thought of that but I don’t use RGB so explains why I’d never notice really

[sharp yew]

yes

[agile grove]

yes

[idle pier]

Ill do everything at once i guess 😎

And waste a day of my life but itll be worth it 😏

[untold wigeon]

i know, but i cant be arsed to

[tawdry tree]

Alright man, if shipping from NA to EU is worth it to you.

[untold wigeon]

well it isnt, it depends on what pricing he can get me on shipping lol

[fallen crag]

Yes

[harsh dove]

I get discounts on shipping thru my job so we’ll see

I get like 50% off

If it’s $20 to ship it’s like $10 for me

[untold wigeon]

and with that im totally fine

since shipping in sweden is 5 bucks

[harsh dove]

lol yeah, I shipped Pumpkin Spice Oreos to the Netherlands recently

To a friend

[paper bloom]

Yoo thats lit

[harsh dove]

Cause he couldn’t get them

[idle pier]

i'll try to buy everything on wootings store as i never bought lube before

[harsh dove]

I had to lie about what was inside the package haha

Otherwise couldn’t ship

[untold wigeon]

nice now u can be my US plug

thats a massive W if i ever had one

[formal swan]

Hey guys, ordering stabs for my HE+... are these the ones that are currently preferred? The Clip-ins?

[shell crown]

Screw ins

[harsh dove]

Yes but if you have no issues with the stock stabs then no need to buy new ones

[formal swan]

I'm ordering Jade HEs and figured I should get some TX AP ones while they're in stock and paying for shipping...

But not sure anymore :\

[harsh dove]

You can just stick with the stock stabs and lube and tune them, but if you really want TX AP then you can get any version really as long as they're 1.6mm and include 6.25u spacebar

[formal swan]

looks like the TKL has 6.25 & 7

[harsh dove]

HE+ is compatible with Screw-In, Clip-In, and Plate Mount

Yes it does

[formal swan]

I'll order them I guess and if I don't use them I'll keep them for another build

[covert glade]

hey, does bag lubing spring switches work just as well as brush lubing them? if so, should I use 205G0 or EM50-L for it?

[harsh dove]

Bag lubing springs works fine but if you only have 205g0 or EM50 then those aren't gonna work

[formal swan]

I ordered a grave shift oring in S... if I don't use plate mount stabs I wouldn't have the interference problem and should use a regular gummy (thicker) o ring right? Or wil the grave shift work with the screw ins?

[harsh dove]

You can brush lube the springs with the 205g0 tho @covert glade

[covert glade]

oh :( i got the wooting lube kit so that's a shame

[harsh dove]

You can still brush lube them with the 205g0

I just wouldnt try to bag lube them with it

[covert glade]

yeaah it's just a bit slower ig lol. oh well

[harsh dove]

It's not oily/thin enough

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[gaunt marten]

The s works with screw ins, haven't tested with clip ins yet

Cam will try it later

[harsh dove]

You only need the S size ring if using Screw Ins

Can use M size for Clip Ins or Plate Mount

[covert glade]

is disassembling the wooting two as simple as taking off the keycaps and unscrewing it? all the guides i saw were for the 60

[harsh dove]

I'll grab my s ring real quick to test clip ins

[gaunt marten]

Yes

[covert glade]

thank you!

[formal swan]

Just as a last check, this is compatible together right?

Alumaze60
HE+
GraveShift S
TX AP Screw-In

[agile grove]

I wouldnt recommend the TX AP Screw-Ins

arent you getting the module? it comes with screw in stabs,

[gaunt marten]

Yes

[gaunt marten]

He wants the best of the best

He said since he's spending already might as well

[harsh dove]

Ok so S size ring works with the Clip Ins, however it's not very snug and if turned upside down and shaken slightly, it will fall out

[gaunt marten]

Good to know, it works but not great

[harsh dove]

Yep

[formal swan]

ahhh so should I be ordering a different o ring?

[gaunt marten]

I wonder if u can add tape at the side of the case to help lmao

[gaunt marten]

It works with screw ins

[agile grove]

TX AP stabs has tolerance issues with the plate, on top of that the stock stabs and TX AP stabs will sound exactly the same after tuning and balancing

[gaunt marten]

Hes a beginner, i doubt he can tune stab properly

[agile grove]

no point in getting TX AP stabs if they have a chance of not fitting and sound exactly the same, its a waste of money

[harsh dove]

Anyone can tune a stab

[gaunt marten]

I mean yeah, but its also easy to fug up

[harsh dove]

And yeah basically what I tried to say

[gaunt marten]

Tx is just fool proof

[harsh dove]

If no issues with current stabs, then don't need new ones

[agile grove]

then... go with the stock stabs??? stock stabs are prelubed, TX AP screw ins arent gonna be prelubed. also its very easy to tune stabs.

my stock TX AP clip ins sounded like dog compared to my stock module stabs

[formal swan]

I'm already like 500 or 600 CAD in it, so I thought to grab the TX APs in case while I'm ordering Jade HEs; but if you guys are sure the HE+ stock stabs are good to go then I'll just forget it

[harsh dove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxHb6CJc9V8

[gaunt marten]

My stock ap clip in sounds better than the stock module so

[agile grove]

prob got unlucky then

[harsh dove]

Stock stabs are fine

[gaunt marten]

I just had left over clip in anyways from a previous board

[formal swan]

Wish you guys could help me with the stabs I have on my current board 😦

[gaunt marten]

[formal swan]

I'm typing on a KBD8X MKIII with Durock V2s. I think I did a bad job on the shims because my left shift and right shift both sound terrrrrible

[gaunt marten]

See what I mean, its easy to tune stab but its also easy to fug up

Just require some time and patience

[harsh dove]

Yeah it is easy to mess up but then you just redo

[gaunt marten]

Ik certain people who said ah its pita cba HAHAHAHA

Certain people just really lack the patience

Its just trial and error

[harsh dove]

Yeah, a grease syringe will be your best friend usually

[gaunt marten]

Recently I accidentally syringed too much lube LOL fml

Had to open up the stab again

[harsh dove]

Lol yeah, I don't like getting grease on my PCB under the stabs

[gaunt marten]

Yeah that's what happened to me

[harsh dove]

Makes them feel weird

[gaunt marten]

Shit sound wet, feels off

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[gaunt marten]

Waiting for dem o ring to restock

Then i will be done

[harsh dove]

I bought them all sorry

[agile grove]

oml this happened to me so much when tuning my stabs

[formal swan]

stabs are settling in I guess, not as bad as they were not not ideal

those shifts make me want to hurt myself

[harsh dove]

Lol yeah, I wipe the bottom of the stab multiple times after lubing just to make sure

[agile grove]

I still need to do more tuning but cba, I still hear some rattle

[harsh dove]

I had a stab get stuck once because it just had too much grease under it

Wouldn't come back up

[gaunt marten]

Oh yeah this happened to me once also

Basically i used 205g2 LOL shit was mega thicc

And accidentally overlubed

[agile grove]

yeah mine got pretty stuck

and sounded wet it was kinda gross

[harsh dove]

Lol yeah they do sound wet if they get like that

[gaunt marten]

I got used to typing on L45 ngl

60G feels heavy now

[harsh dove]

I haven't used my L60s in awhile

[formal swan]

Do you guys prefer the L45s or the Jades, in terms of sound?

[harsh dove]

Jades

[gaunt marten]

I've yet to buy jades, soon™

[harsh dove]

The main thing for people to understand about the Jades vs every other HE switch currently, in terms of sound, is that the Jades are the only HE switch with a closed bottom currently.
In other words, the Jades produce two sounds when pressed, the downstroke when hitting the bottom housing and the upstroke of the stem hitting the top housing.
With every other HE switch right now, it's open bottom, so you don't really get a bottom out sound, you get one sound, being the upstroke.
Tha'ts why the Jades sound the most different compared to the other HE switches

[gaunt marten]

Cant see any other switch with no holes also now unless they pay gat for license

Gateron pattern it

[formal swan]

that makes so much sense

[harsh dove]

Did that finally go thru? I didn't know if they won that or not

[tawdry tree]

I hope not

[harsh dove]

Me either

[gaunt marten]

Idk also but probably will

[untold wigeon]

lmfao

[warped inlet]

jade switches doesn't affect performance right?

[agile grove]

no

[harsh dove]

yes and no

It has shorter travel distance

Otherwise they pretty much work as normal

[gaunt marten]

Long pole on top

[harsh dove]

Lol you don't need long pole tbh but some people do, comes down to keycap tolerance

Mainly on the spacebar

[formal swan]

Sorry last question about the Jades: should I be mounting them south facing if using cherry keycaps? I don't think the lekkers had this problem right?

[harsh dove]

That's an old issue

Molds have changed to account for it nowadays

Can face them anyway you want

[formal swan]

excellent, thanks friend

I think the last thing then is finding a keycap set that matches the concrete grey Alumaze

[median spade]

South is only answer

Don’t listen to these north facing apologists

South facing is as god Cherry intended

[gaunt marten]

New gat molds alleviate this issue

[gaunt marten]

Although calder did say there was like 1-2 reports right

[formal swan]

Unsure but leaning towards these 2 :\

[harsh dove]

Not that I know of but possibly

[gaunt marten]

I like the right one

[median spade]

Cherry profile best

[harsh dove]

I haven't had any issues with my GMK sets and north facing

[median spade]

MTNU meh

[gaunt marten]

Tolerance is the best!

[harsh dove]

Mercury better

imo

But its your board

[formal swan]

Ahhhh GMK Oblivions might be it

[untold wigeon]

gmk olivia

[gaunt marten]

dat aint gmk

[untold wigeon]

-.-

[gaunt marten]

[untold wigeon]

someday inshallah

[whole creek]

for anybody who has changed switches for the wooting, have you had to reorient the switches to acount for the normal issues that cherry keycaps face with north facing switches

[velvet egret]

This is a past issue. Not applicable anymore

[whole creek]

explain?

[untold wigeon]

i have south facing switches with no issues

[agile grove]

no

[whole creek]

👀

oh no?

[agile grove]

the molds have been adjusted to fix these issues

[untold wigeon]

^

[untold wigeon]

yeah i use south facing indeed

[whole creek]

oh beautiful

so i dont have to turnt eh sweitches when i mod it

that is goated

[kind helm]

i just put on the jades, so much better than lekker. thank you so much man

[whole creek]

I have a tofu 60 redux mod build with some cherry keycaps can't wait

will post a picture later tonight after i mod it fr

[shell crown]

Frankensteins are best

[warped inlet]

Frankenstein switch work with l45 too?

[gaunt marten]

yes

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s what I’m using

[shell crown]

I mean they do, spring is the only thing that matters

[gaunt marten]

wut

[shell crown]

Frankenswitches are lekker stem+raptor body. Spring is what matters for 60 or 45

[whole creek]

also can you fit gummy oring into the tofu60

[harsh dove]

Yes

[polar girder]

Man the fucking PSU I got can’t work in my computer

After waiting for weeks for an extra cable I can’t even plug it in. So dumb ☠️

[velvet egret]

Rip

How come it can't work with your pc?

[polar girder]

Need 3x 8-pins for my GPU

It only came with 2 cables so I was like hey can I get a third

So they sent it to me. But the PSU doesn’t even have slot for 3rd cable lol

So gotta send it back and get a different one

[untold wigeon]

what psu do u got?

[polar girder]

I have a EVGA 1000w P6

But I’m having random black screens on default so need to trouble shoot components one at a time. So got the Thermaltake GF3 Snow 1200w

But alas ….

[untold wigeon]

u got this?

if so ur chillin

u got vga 1 2 3 4 and 5

[polar girder]

It’s the Thermaltake one that I can’t use

I’ve been rocking the EVGA one for a while

[untold wigeon]

ah

[polar girder]

Just random ahhhh black screens so have to isolate which component is corrupt so I can fix it

Useless lol

[untold wigeon]

think its meant for 4000 series cards

[polar girder]

Tempted to just buy a new GPU

[velvet egret]

Why Thermaltake Psu??

[untold wigeon]

bummer

[idle pier]

yo guys quick question, some of you convinced me to lube my jades for better typing experience. I dont have any lube or kit, I wanna buy it off wootings store. Question is i saw some people putting all the springs in a bag and throwing some super lube in it , just shaking everything to essentially lube the springs. Is that good on the wooting too?

[azure charm]

daddadd

[loud zephyr]

worked fine for me and in comparison to hand lubing springs, I couldn't tell any difference. I'd still do it by hand though

[fluid ravine]

Yes, it's called bag lubing. The lube for this method is Krytox GPL 105 (Some other people use Super Lube Oil)

It's just more quicker when it comes to lubing the springs.

You can either hand lube or bag lube the springs, your choice

[idle pier]

mhmmhh thanks

[idle pier]

I wanna pick the quick method for my first time, as i dont think it will matter enough for me to notice a difference

but at the same time idk where to buy it

[lethal furnace]

Is it possible for me to mod the wooting 2he without breaking it if I’ve never modded a keyboard before

[quiet bay]

yes you can mod it without breaking it

just gotta unscrew everything and then unplug the daughterboard im pretty sure

[untold wigeon]

where should u open wooting 60he from the back or the front for tape mod

[loud zephyr]

what parts in particular? Either Wooting or your nearest keyboard vendor will have the tools

[idle pier]

Krytox GPL 105

[loud zephyr]

Amazon has them

[wide kraken]

only thing you need to 'worry' about is not stripping the screws or their threads since the case is plastic. otherwise it's pretty simple to open up

[idle pier]

you got a link?

[loud zephyr]

[idle pier]

mhmmhh i cant find the same on european amazon

[loud zephyr]

try this instead https://eloquentclicks.com/collections/lube/products/krytox-gpl-105

[idle pier]

oh ye this looks good, tysm

[wide kraken]

also man, hand-lubed jades on the Two HE make a world of difference. clean and clacky, no rattle
maybe a bit too loud on the 60HE+ for my liking though

[azure charm]

Just switched to the tofu redux, any keycaps recommendation?

[stray tiger]

I highly recommend the keycaps you like best

[azure charm]

I was thinking about some blank keycaps

[stray tiger]

Then I think thats a good choice!

[quiet bay]

ceramic white blank keycaps? 🤔

[sleek flower]

where to get

[quiet bay]

cerakey website

[sleek flower]

oof

expensive

where can I get metallic keycaps

[quiet bay]

aren't those going to be even more expensive

[polar girder]

There’s “metal” then there’s aluminum

Some metal keycaps aren’t that expensive

[sleek flower]

I just didn't ceramic ones to be that expensive aswell

[shell crown]

They are VERY expensive since mold they use was expensive to make

And the technique costs a lot

My only problem w cerakey is no ISO

Since enter key is yet impossible to make

[median spade]

ISO skill issue

ANSI supremacy

[idle pier]

Just put enter vertically and youll be left with a beautiful hole

[shell crown]

ISO is better

[sleek flower]

ansi has more keys

iso however is just better

[shell crown]

I need ISO lol

[median spade]

ISO is ugly and small left shift is terrible

ISO takes the L

[loud zephyr]

join the dark side

*to hell with white plates

[quiet bay]

just get black pc plate 🤑

[loud zephyr]

trueee

[wispy thistle]

you wouldnt have happened to do the same mods with the keyboard but using stem swapped raptors would you?

[harsh dove]

Not yet

[vague socket]

Hii does anyone have issues with using tx clip in stabs with gateron jade switches

[wispy thistle]

i kind of want to order just to try them but honestly kinda hard to beat that sound test for me lol

[azure charm]

that looks sick, imma need u to slide the link

Are these clip ins? Plate mounted? PCB mounted? I'm unsure, it doesn't say. Looking at long poles because I am using Magnetic Jades

[quiet bay]

they're clip ins

[pastel vigil]

https://minokeys.com/products/tx-ap-stabilizers-long-pole?variant=44452769038578

Are these also clip ins? How do you do know, like what should I look for to find out?

[quiet bay]

They are also clip ins

it's the design of the stabs and the description

[pastel vigil]

Man idk how I missed it, it's right there. Long day lol. Thank you!

[wide kraken]

so I swapped most of my Two HE to Jades and it feels hella nice, but definitely getting wobble on spacebar. these would be the right stabs to replace, right? since Jades have a total travel of 3.5mm
(need to order another set of Jades to finish the swap anyways, and I'm not really a fan of how o-rings feel on stabs)

[stray tiger]

You would want long pole stabilizers, not those. You can also try orings on the stab stems https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399

[wide kraken]

so shorter travel switches are not always long pole?

the examples gateron provides are

Total travel: 3.4mm (such as KS-9 Pro silver, G pro 2.0 silver, Ink V2 pink & black switch).

can't quite find examples for all of them but I do see reviews saying the G Pro 2.0 Silvers are long poles

[pale cloud]

Anyone have any recommendation, if I should get the fr4 plate, or just the tofu redux + brass weight is gd enough?

[kind helm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bvLyb2HhrU&t=361s

[wispy thistle]

wait i bough tx ap screw in stabs. did i need tx ap long pole screw in stabs for jades?

[stray tiger]

May not need them but they are designed for long pole switches yes

[wispy thistle]

ok cool thanks

[wispy thistle]

well might as well buy switch films while im at it. do you know if i can use kbd fans switch films if im doing raptor stem swap? going to buy raptors and lekkers too try them out.

[pastel vigil]

Did you test long pole or normal versions? The ones reporting issues were using long pole? Do you suspect this is a fitment issue with the tx stabs or the plate? I just ordered a set of long pole screws in, but am debating if I should order a set of clip ins too just in case.

If I was using the module, I'd stick with the pre-installed screw in stabs but I have the prebuilt 60HE+

[gaunt marten]

Oof

They don't work on steel plate

[pastel vigil]

I'm using the PC plate
