[crimson sky]

it is the same magnets

[median spade]

Gateron sucks come on pronin

[crimson sky]

yea could be kailh

and they just silently change out vital parts

[median spade]

What kailh stuff even exists anymore outside of cream switches

[median fog]

wooting supposedly calibrates all the time, when you press keys, but has anyone actually confirmed this with tests, my tests with magnet has not proven this even a bit.

[crimson sky]

box switches

mouse switches

there are at least 3 entirely different gm 8.0s

[median spade]

and all have click issues

[crimson sky]

exactly

kailh go is good

[median spade]

but yeah i forgot about box switches as they suck for the most part

[crimson sky]

but even those apparently silently changed spec before actual release

[median spade]

[median fog]

my tests were more so focused on the dynamic lighting changes, but maybe lighting changes are actually not calibrated in line with actual force
need to do some more tests to see actual pressing distance somehow

[median spade]

tbh only issues I've ever had were with raptors and it was minor

[harsh dove]

Very minor

[median spade]

just moments when I could tell the sensor was saturated so it did like a dead movement

[median fog]

didn't they recently do update that calibrates all the time, not only startup

these pictures are pretty old, that update is newer I think

[autumn hearth]

I have a question, this White piece below the space bar, can I buy it by myself?https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/167181566978555904/1217835697872965653/image.png?ex=660578e0&is=65f303e0&hm=6ae0b49c236f1d9624285c91b1088221c40bd5fe4c1bea475de698c59b626115&

[median spade]

oh boy rappy snappy!!

[rapid remnant]

what's different with the v2 lekker switches

[median spade]

no info yet

[old swallow]

i got the V2 Lekker 45's for free with the 80HE, but i also got the Jades, cause they are just so good 😱

[median spade]

It’s just the pcb design

[autumn hearth]

@median spadebecause when I took the keyboard apart to clean it, I forced too much on the space bar and I broke the part so I would like to know if I can buy one

[tawdry tree]

Like I said half a million times before, all Gateron’s magnetic switches have a slot for a leaf and a extrusion on their stems.

[crimson sky]

you mean the stabilizer?

[median fog]

but the extrusion is like on the wrong side, no real extrusion where the leaf is

[tawdry tree]

They’re symmetric if it wasn’t for the extrusion or am I tripping?

[tawdry tree]

It is, I wouldn’t call it the wrong side as all other leafs use 2 sides.

I assume that’s the leaf design they had in mind.

[crimson sky]

the protrusion is on the other side of the slot of the leaf spring

so the two don't interact

[tawdry tree]

I forgot to test when I told you I would. In an hour or two. Sorry about that.

[median fog]

well that test i did focused on lighting, but lighting might be decoupled from the actual actuation

[tawdry tree]

Outdated. Jades came around so this had to be updated. You wouldn’t be able to change actuation to 3.5mm or more if it wasn’t changed.

[median fog]

so if you do test, you need to see with some software the actuation happening irt

[stray tiger]

Ok I needed to get back into this channel, too much too fast in the 80HE channel.

[stuck verge]

Jades or Raptor guys?

[harsh dove]

Jades

Personally

[median spade]

I prefer OG lekkers with no lube

[tawdry tree]

https://tenor.com/view/say-whaaaaat-seriously-gif-5532389

[tawdry tree]

Can’t find my magnets @median fog :/

[median fog]

well you'll find them soon enough, meanwhile give me some name of software where I can easily test this myself, visually see actuation

well I won't be able to see actuation I think with Digital keys, like the actuation point actually, so can't really test this maybe

[tawdry tree]

“Touch” RGB effect. 😉

[median fog]

yeah but lighting might be decoupled from the actual pressing

[tawdry tree]

No, you can see it.

[median fog]

I guess it's not, but yeah, whatever, it doesn't matter for now, there is no magnets here, and I won't have Jades until Aug at earliest, then they might fix it up.

well I tested with light, it didn't calibrate the light at least

[tawdry tree]

You can easily and only see it with 4.0mm switches. Enable the Touch RGB effect and replug your keyboard, then very slowly press any key to around 3.5mm. You’ll see it snap.

From “7” to “0”

i.e 3.5mm to 4mm

Then if you press the key more it’ll stay at “0” until you release it and press it again.

I made a video about this a while ago too.

[median fog]

anyway they will fix it up if it's not behaving properly until 80HE arrives

[tawdry tree]

It’s behaving properly, as implemented, just not optimally.

It most likely was the easiest way to make Jades compatible.

[weary tree]

Whats the jades bottom out force?

[tawdry tree]

I think 45-50.

[weary tree]

Also the keycaps on the bottom row are the usual size and they just removed the fn key right?

[median spade]

50g

and yeah

it's just missing one key from bottom row

looks way better becuase of that

[weary tree]

Ok thx

Yeah easier to find keycaps too

[median spade]

Lekker V2 sounding really good based off this test

[stray tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/will-ferrell-elf-buddy-the-elf-throne-of-lies-christmas-gif-3580667

[median spade]

this from the website

i just downloaded it haha

[tawdry tree]

fake! lier!

[median spade]

[alpine shell]

is it not possible to order the v2 switches right now also

[tawdry tree]

Alone? No, they’re not out yet.

[alpine shell]

you know the diffreneces?

[median spade]

no info yet

[tawdry tree]

Tighter tolerances and less stem wobble is all Woot stated.

[median spade]

we need to get th em nto use milky top

[alpine shell]

would you say a 80he is worth if i already have a 60he

[tawdry tree]

If you’re gonna use 2 boards, sure.

If not, only if you prefer the 80HE’s layout over your 60%

[median spade]

Honest answer no

if you want to consoom however sure

[alpine shell]

can change my switch settings in wootility with the jade swtiches?

[median spade]

They work just like any other switch so yea

[alpine shell]

so i can change the pre travel and accuation point with the jade switches?

[tawdry tree]

Actuation, yes. Pre travel?

[alpine shell]

i guess thats what i meant xd tnx

[tawdry tree]

👍

[alpine shell]

does anyone of you have the jade with the 60 he and could tell me the difference with the leeker ?

[tawdry tree]

Sound, Jades are louder, “clacky” so to say and have a shorter travel distance. 3.5mm compared to Lekker’s 4.0mm.

Jades also have tighter tolerances compared to Lekker V1.

A tad bit less stem wobble.

[alpine shell]

do you have any good keykap brands for german iso layout?

[tawdry tree]

Wooting includes a German ISO set I believe. Other than that, not sure.

[austere creek]

anything not iso-uk is notoriously hard to find

[alpine shell]

i guess it should only be iso if i have iso tho

[half bloom]

I'm a bit confused on how to change WASD to 0.1mm and everything else to 0.2mm

[autumn hearth]

yes

[crimson sky]

yea just buy stabilizers lol

[tawdry tree]

Maybe include them in #🪛│modding_faq even though they’re not out yet.

[stray tiger]

Not yet, but I'll be updating the FAQ soon with some other stuff

[worthy sparrow]

How do people find the Jades vs the lekkers? I had the impression they were good from what I saw around launch so when I saw them offered with the 80 I nabbed some but am a little unsure. Is the lightness too light for most? How’s the sound profile? Travel distance an issue at all or a moot issue?

[tawdry tree]

Also, the new switch is either gonna be Heerlijk or Verrukkelijk, has to be

[half bloom]

Can't speak for the Lekkers, but i use Jades and they are phenomenal

[stray tiger]

They are a good switch. If you like long-pole switch sound/feel you'll love them. If you're unsure, then get the Jades and choose the Lekkers for your free choice.

[worthy sparrow]

How are they factory lubed - similar to factory lubed lekkers or worse?

[stray tiger]

Ive only had 3 sets of Jades to compare so far but the lubing was consistently pretty good overall. I would still hand lube them, but the same applies to the Lekkers.

[worthy sparrow]

Thanks all!

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/goku-warm-up-stretch-db-gif-11448397

[stray tiger]

Im trying to so hard to stay out of 80HE so I dont clutter it up but its chaos in there lol

[untold wigeon]

I've never really done any keyboard modding before and currently have the 60he. I've been looking at getting the 80he. Would it be possible to frankenstein the two keyboards together by gutting my current board and only ordering the 80he frame? I don't really think I'd need the rapid switches for the f row and arrow keys.

[stray tiger]

Negative

It's one or the other, they are interchangeable and the 80HE doesnt have a 3rd party case or PCB choice available.

[shell geode]

Hope everyone sees this. You're doing the lord's work 🙌

[lone slate]

Question I've got - if the Jades are on the store now, are there going to be any long pole stabs to go with them?

[tawdry tree]

Not necessary with stock keycaps, so no.

[spiral anvil]

Oh wait Jades on the store page now nice

[lone slate]

OEM keycaps you mean?

[heavy delta]

is there a chat for recommendations, or advice ? could use some opinions on the linear 45 60 or jade decision since i am more used to browns or pandas. sry if im wrong in this chat :/

[shell geode]

No, the sizing wouldn't work, you could theoretically put the 60 pcb in the 80 and lose out on the FN key on the bottom right but I doubt the mounting holes are in the same place

[spiral anvil]

PCB looks different as well

[stray tiger]

60's are the stock switch and a good all around choice if you are struggling to make a decision. The 45's are the same as the 60's but with a slightly lighter spring weight (easier to push), the Jades are different then the 60's or 45's in sound and in between them in feel.

[spiral anvil]

For the arrow keys

[tawdry tree]

No, Wooting’s stock keycaps are tight so the 0.5mm difference difference in travel distance between the switch and the stabilizers won’t cause any problems.

[stray tiger]

it wouldnt work. The 80HE also uses a daughter board

[tawdry tree]

Can’t say the same for looser keycaps.

[heavy delta]

thank you i think 60s it is

[shell geode]

Interested in hearing a sound test between L60s and Jades?

[heavy delta]

if you have one i sure am

all input is greatly appreciated

literally am a knobhead when it comes to linears

[shell geode]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[untold wigeon]

I've done hand lubed and tape nodded leckers, and I've been using factory jades. In my opinion the jades blow the leckers out of the water without having to do any sort of modding.

[unique lichen]

This question is probably asked everyday but whhat's a recommended website to order custom keys from? Specifically I want ISO with letters of my choosing on them.

[vocal crane]

i dont know if this has been asked but will older wooting boards get the rappy snappy feature through firmware updates

[spiral anvil]

Yep

[vocal crane]

thats good to hear

i think the only thing that i remember seeing here is that the 60HE isnt getting 8k hertz

which i dont really care for at the moment

[spiral anvil]

I'm debating getting jades even though I got raptors

[vocal crane]

i have the raptors right now in my 60

[harsh dove]

Correct, MCU doesn’t support it

[spiral anvil]

Same

Apparently Jades are better but I want to test for myself

[vocal crane]

i have my wooting gummy oring mount, raptor HE, TX clip in stabs
no plate foam, yes case foam

the pcb has 1 layer of electrical tape used for tennis grips to dampen the bottom out of the magnet slamming into the pcb

[spiral anvil]

I'm happy with it but I'm also a perfectionist freak

[vocal crane]

i would say that the jades have the best sound to them since they have the closed bottom to them

but i have been seeing good things regarding the gaming performance of the raptors

[spiral anvil]

Yea

Jades shouldn't mess with the wooting actuation wise correct

Its just the bottom out

[vocal crane]

#🪛│modding_faq message

i believe that there is a beta firmware for tthat

[harsh dove]

It’s out of beta iirc

Should be stable now

[spiral anvil]

Nice

[vocal crane]

ooh thats good, is the firmware stuff getting worked on for the raptors still?

[harsh dove]

Don’t quote me on it but I’m pretty sure

[vocal crane]

i remember calder mentioning it as well

[harsh dove]

Like 90% sure

[spiral anvil]

I just swapped out the stems

Tolerances are mad good

I had to delube a bit because they're so good on the frankstein raptors

[harsh dove]

I don’t know if they’re working on firmware to account for stronger magnets but I think they might be working on reverse polarity, idk can’t confirm anything though

[spiral anvil]

Gahhh Fomo is hitting me

[vocal crane]

i sucks with my that i come from a custom keeb background, but i love my receently received suisei65

but i love the gaming peformance of the wooting, as i play a lot of valorant

[stray tiger]

Its still being tweaked per Simon last week

[harsh dove]

Ah okay thank you

[vocal crane]

after playing on a wooting for nearly 2 months. it actually feels like you are cheating when strafing. i dont think i have ever counter strafed faster

[spiral anvil]

Geh I think I just buy jades to confirm Fomo

[spiral anvil]

Came in to find out about Rappy Snappy exited with FOMO and a lighter wallet

Does anyone have a sound demo actually

[lost badge]

so does this mean that I have to use beta for Jade?

[spiral anvil]

Jades should have been solved

[tawdry tree]

No. The non beta has been updated.

[spiral anvil]

Its for reverse polarity switches afaik

[tawdry tree]

Wasn’t for that, reverse polarity switches aren’t supported, yet.

[spiral anvil]

Oh

Got confused

[tawdry tree]

Np!

[spiral anvil]

It was for the stronger magnets right

[tawdry tree]

It was to support Jades’ 0.5mm less travel.

[spiral anvil]

Okay this comment is for jades

[tawdry tree]

Yes.

[stray tiger]

Yes Im referring to the Jades

That was Simon's response last week when asked about the status of proper Jade support

[spiral anvil]

[spiral anvil]

Yea I didn't read it throughly

Was multi tasking looking up jade sound profile

Time to pick up keycaps for your new 80HE purchases

[harsh dove]

Holy

Sign me up

[fluid ravine]

Hihi

[quiet bay]

omg 80he!

my wallet cries just looking at the price

[civic snow]

Anyone have any suggested sites for mods for base case yet for 80he?

[median spade]

you shouldn't have told me this......

[quiet bay]

.......goodbye money

[median spade]

Oh well i don't like 80% of the sets NK has nevermind

they saving me money

oh royal cadet hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

that along makes me wnat to do this

[quiet bay]

You can't even complain about this price 😂

[median spade]

i got the pink set for my gf

it's nice and $15 was still

she had some old tai hai miami keycaps and was over it lmao

Okay I found three sets I want probably going to pick them up

[quiet bay]

these clearance sales aren't half bad

[quiet bay]

I see you already bought the 80he 😂

[stray tiger]

Of course

[median frigate]

hey, does anyone know good pbt double shot iso keycaps for wooting60he ?

[quiet bay]

I want to buy an 80he but I know that is financially irresponsible as I already have a fully modded 60he that works perfectly fine for my needs

no source of income either

[spiral anvil]

Yea don't

Only thing it really brings over the 60 is gasket and 8k

I'm sure you can just tune your keeb for a softer feel so gasket is eh

And 8k isn't worth spending another 400 or so to get a fully modded keeb

[quiet bay]

It's okay guys..maybe in the future when I have a job

[stray tiger]

Embrace the JOMO (joy of missing out). There is always something better on the horizon and in the end its just a keyboard.

[quiet bay]

ur right

[quiet bay]

im not allowed to work x)

[spiral anvil]

Just wait a year or so when they get that .01mm acutation

[dawn ether]

jo guys what is better Jaden Switch or Lekker 45 Switch?

im confused

[quiet bay]

can't wait to activate my keys by blowing air on it 😍

[quiet bay]

sound difference

they're both very light switches

[spiral anvil]

Jades are generally preferred due to tighter tolerances and better sound to most

[quiet bay]

but I mean...

the sound test in the video wasn't that bad

[dawn ether]

mh ok but price is high l45 is ok for me.

i ordered 80he module delivery in early september :-(((

[quiet bay]

atleast I get the joy of missing out AND not having to wait 😆

[harsh dove]

I was feeling the same kinda

I need to look when I get off work

Just kinda glancing

[median spade]

I want royal cadet, olivia dark, and then i guess ill just ifnd a rnadom 3rd at that point lmao

[harsh dove]

You looking at their GMK sets or their PBT?

[median spade]

gmk for the B2G1

[harsh dove]

Right yeah

[tawdry tree]

You can get 90 for like $60 elsewhere, it’s not Wooting’s switch.

[glad garden]

What company do yall recommend for aluminum keyboard cases? I wanna try to build my own and do a copper theme to match my setup. My plan was get the 60HE+ Module, black aluminum case, idk what switches yet, and copper keycaps. Thanks

[spiral anvil]

Tofu Redux is the standard probably

You could also go Geon frog mini if you feel fancy

[shell geode]

Wow, I think these would look dope on the 80

you're so hot ty

[atomic nimbus]

Just spend 10 hours in total over the day before yesterday, yesterday and today lubing switches and stabs. Some keys still a lil funky same for some stabs but I think part of it might just be keycaps but it is so much better!!!

I think more like 14 hours

But overall sounds so good

The number row was way deeper than the rest when it was stock and now the middle row sounds like number row did and number row sounds like candy

[median spade]

Top housing lube wearing off on jades

rattle sound coming back

[golden shore]

Just got these in. No idea if they’re the ks20u or not 😂

The box is showing yellow but the switches inside are orange

[median spade]

Yeah we call them peaches

[golden shore]

They look like the new 20us right? Was just a little suspect since I ordered from some random ass Amazon seller

[median spade]

Indeed

If you have switch opener you can do that and check the side rails

But those look like KS20U

[golden shore]

Bet

Still waiting on my module and case so I’ll check that later

How can you tell if they’re double railed?

[median spade]

The way the stem looks and such

Looks like it from what I can see

[spiral anvil]

Why double rail?

Stem wobble?

[median spade]

Yeah

Lekkers has bad wobble and they improved on it

[golden shore]

Yeah ima hand lube them later on still need to get the switch opener and lube set. I’ll send a pic when I do 🙏

[spiral anvil]

Raptors and Jades have been fine but that's one way to do it

How's the vertical wobble?

[near barn]

are the magnets on the jade switches the same as any other lekker/gateron switch?

[uncut musk]

what does the underside of them look like

there are some other ones that look just like that but arent compatible with the wooting pcb

[golden shore]

There’s a magnet

[uncut musk]

one sec

[uncut musk]

ur chillin the ones keychron use have the same duelrail shit but the bottom of them look like this

[golden shore]

Looks the same as mine right? 😂

Can’t see any difference tbh

Ah wait nvm I see it now

Hi pops

Did you buy it yet?

DAMN

[stray tiger]

Yeah ai bought earlier today

[fluid ravine]

What case or what not?

[stray tiger]

I went with the raw aluminum but might change to white. Still undecided

[golden shore]

Yeah Amazon fast as shit 🤣

[fluid ravine]

What switches u got them with?

[stray tiger]

I went with Jades and L45 v2's for the free ones

[midnight tree]

any difference from the jades to l45?

[stray tiger]

Yes they are different. Both in sound and feel

[midnight tree]

hmm i kinda wanna buy them but just for testing its a heavy price.. xd

[fluid ravine]

Wait the V2s are out?!

When the hell!?

Man I'm missing out on the news and everything

[elfin garnet]

They are not out but you can pick them when ordering the 80HE. It ships with the keyboard whenever that is

hey guys question, im planning on doing a burger mount to my stock 60he+. I can just follow the burger mounnt video on the wooting yt channel right sshouldn't be any different?

[median spade]

link the amazon

since im not seeing them on there

[stray tiger]

Check the pin. It's v2's not 2.0/Pros

[median spade]

wish they had the new mounting sytsem and such for 60he

didn't horder the 80he yet or at all as im not big fan of bigger layout

[wide kraken]

for whatever reason they're not actually sold as KS-20U lol

[fluid ravine]

Ah ok good to know, thanks Pops

[median spade]

$1/switch lel

[steady sandal]

are those switches the same as this one https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-ks-20-magnetic-orange-hall-sensor-switch-set?

[wide kraken]

definitely not confusing between KS-20 orange (but actually KS-20U) and KS-20 orange (actually first gen KS-20)

[agile grove]

no

[steady sandal]

oh i see

[fluid ravine]

Hey just read or learned about rappy snappy, is that going to available for the 60he?

[polar girder]

Yes

But Rappy snappy does not equal 8k

[fluid ravine]

Yeah im aware

Dont really care much abt 8k, likes its cool and all but id think of it as if it was just there, if that makes sense.

Yeah english dont make sense for me

[median spade]

Yeah Im all about chasing the next thing as I have too many mice, keyboards ,etc

but the reality most of us won't notice a difference at all between 60he and 80he unless it's like intense rythym games or something

[fluid ravine]

ye ye

[polar girder]

I need 8k

Big sad

i need 80he to match 8k on my mouse

I want it jsut for the mounting, but if that was the case I should just buy a boog75 moudle for my zoom75 lol

Yep these are it. I was a little susd out cus of the name (no U) but apparently they’re legit

Yeah but the item number says KS-20U010B045NW-X14 and it says double rail so I just took the risk.

[golden shore]

I think there’s a 10% coupon + free shipping. The jades go for 60 with shipping so it basically comes out to the same for me

do the lekker stems fit in the jade housings?

[wet hazel]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

Jade with lekker stem

[spiral anvil]

Also has anyone ran into issues with the gummy o-ring mounting on standard cases

[grim steppe]

Like for jewellery?

[spiral anvil]

I remember having a friend telling me they ended up damaging one of their PCBs after 7 years of gummy o-ring mounting a keeb

[spiral anvil]

Should be the same?

[latent fern]

how does it damaged the pcb ?

[tawdry tree]

All KS-20 switches share the same stem and top housing.

[tawdry tree]

Yes they do.

[spiral anvil]

I think friction fitted around the pcb

But just want to confirm since the wooting pcb is like 150

And I'm not trying to risk that here

[latent fern]

i’ve never heard of gummy o-ring mounting damaging pcb’s before tbh

i think the only issue is the o-ring fitting around the stabilizers

[tawdry tree]

They are! Didn’t know they were on Amazon already.

[spiral anvil]

Granted this was like 7 years of use

[latent fern]

you’ll probably have a nice wooting by then haha

[weary tree]

7 years is prob time to chabge keyboard anyways

[spiral anvil]

Still prefer not to damage, I'll double check with them to see exactly what happened

[spiral anvil]

Its more about the sentimentality

Burger mounting has been okay in my experience though the sound is a bit inconsistent

[latent fern]

what foam do you have in your case? are you using a tofu?

[spiral anvil]

Poron foam and no just a wood gh60 case

[latent fern]

ohhh okay nice

ngl i filled my previous keyboard with prom foam, a layer of pennie’s, and a layer of paper towels and it sounded really good

i also tape modded the pcb

poron**

[spiral anvil]

Ah figured it out it was too much flex causing the pcb to contact with the case, which shorted it

I have a wood case so that's a non-issue

[remote jasper]

anyone tried the kbdfans carbon plate? trying to mod my wooting but i live in a 3rd world country and can't get the original PC plate. what's the sound/feel like of carbon fibre plate in stock case?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006695111777.html talking about this

[worthy sparrow]

What’s the end force on the jades? Is there an issue where keys with stabs would have different travel dists (making them uneven etc?)

[glacial wind]

50ish

the stab length issue is an easy fix if you run into it. There's cheapie stab spacers you can buy for a few dollars

most don't have the issue happen though

[broken flame]

is there a sound test between the ks-20u and jades? Was wondering which I should swap to and what differences if any are there other than the spring weight and bottom case (and the dual rails on ks-20u). Is there a clear winner between the two or is it up to preference?

[spare mauve]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cfIbCFVjIo

[broken flame]

thanks

[sharp perch]

Is this an issue with the keycap or the stabs?

[light agate]

it's possible that the stabs might be a bit too loose for your keycap, if that's the case, it's pretty easy to fix with just placing a small bit of tape on top of the stabs

that's usually what people do with loose artisan keycaps so i'm guessing it could work

however, if the stabs are a bit too short, i think this could help

[bleak ginkgo]

do you get electrocuted when you put the wooting on the tofu 60 redux wrong?

[agile grove]

no

I also dont see how you would even put it in wrong

[bleak ginkgo]

im feeling electricity whenever i touch the case

[polar girder]

Static?

[bleak ginkgo]

yeaah

[polar girder]

Is it plugged in?

Are you high?

Ok lol

[bleak ginkgo]

yes its plugged in

im not high

[polar girder]

Oh I see what you’re saying

Hmm yeah that’s a weird one. Idk if that’s possible

[bleak ginkgo]

i feel like the usb c is hitting the case somehow

[polar girder]

Maybe but seems like install would be quite off.

[bleak ginkgo]

im also using a coiled cable

well, seems liked i fixed it, just moved the module a little bit down

kinda hurt tho getting static

nvm getting static again

[weary tree]

My wallet

[bleak ginkgo]

bro how do i fix this

[weary tree]

Did you try tape modding the pcb

Like a layer of tape underneath

[bleak ginkgo]

ye i have tape mod

does that cause the electric shock?

[weary tree]

No

Should help tho

[bleak ginkgo]

i get shocked everytime i touch the case

using tofu60 redux and coiled cable and the tofu60 redux screws

[weary tree]

I dont use screws on mine i use the gummy oring moubt

Can you take pic of the usbc hole

Like make sure its not hitting the edges

[bleak ginkgo]

nvm

i think i found the issue

im getting shocked when ever i put my feet on the floor

but when its lifted i dont feel any static

maybe cause my pc on the floor?

[severe onyx]

now thats very weird

[severe onyx]

is your floor carpet?

[median spade]

and selling it without pcb now interesting

[bleak ginkgo]

wooden, but 2 pc on the ground

[polar girder]

Damn salvation case is $185 now

[harsh dove]

Is it? Didn’t notice

Looks like they have more colors available too

[polar girder]

Fjell still $290 tho RIP

[harsh dove]

Cause ECoat red was never an option

Well it was but always sold out

[polar girder]

Right

[median spade]

https://novelkeys.com/products/salvation-keyboard?_pos=1&_sid=c4a33580e&_ss=r

yeah here

was going to pick up a solder pcb for mine but $65 no thanks

[harsh dove]

Ah nice

And yeah lol

[harsh dove]

So much stuffs I don’t need

For anyone curious as to what I got

[median spade]

You get any caps from novelkeys today

[harsh dove]

Nah

Nothing caught my interest

Only one I probably would’ve got is the GMK Regal

And it’s sold out

[median spade]

I treid to find some other stuff i wanted

but only wanted royal cadet

and at that point i would just go buy th eother purple set from spacecables i prefer which is Purple Nights

[harsh dove]

Yeah same I looked over it a few times

Yeah

[median spade]

I have crimson cadet and would much rather have korean sublegends this time

[harsh dove]

Yeah I just wanted something clean looking but everything they had was too busy or too colorful for me

[weary tree]

That salvation looking kinda juicy

[median spade]

thought about gmk panels

but i know myself and i would use it one time for a day and never again

[median spade]

do it

[harsh dove]

Don’t tell anyone but I got a silver frog mini

1 mx plate and 2 HE plates

[latent fern]

has anyone tried using wheel weights instead of a brass weight in their cases? these are $8 on amazon compared to $25 for the brass weight

i guess you could use these in the stock wooting case too

they look slim enough

[normal schooner]

maybe just wait till your can afford a brass weight made for the case

[median spade]

Bro

I literally have that and 2 plates

Why didn’t you ask me

It’s been sitting in the case it came with for a month now

[harsh dove]

You’re not gonna use it at all?

[median spade]

Nope

[harsh dove]

Hmm

[median spade]

I got bored of the silver in 2 days so now it's been collecting dust

[harsh dove]

How you get bored of silver lol

[median spade]

I just like black, grey, and white for my keyboards really

[harsh dove]

I mean me too

But silver falls into grey for me

[median spade]

but yeah it has alu plate it came with, pom and alu 60he plate, h60 pcb (solder) and then 60a 70a, and whatever stock tadpoles

[harsh dove]

Think stock are 80a

I mean I could cancel my order and get yours

I think I’m more disappointed than impressed

[paper bloom]

I mean the fact that we pulled cardboard and the fact that the idea is ghetto BUT overall it shld sound well

And the thock shld be well defined

[fallen crag]

Its the "i spend too much money and cant affort a case" edition xD

[paper bloom]

Im more impressed at the fact that from afar ppl wld think its a premium case

[harsh dove]

The Board Board

[paper bloom]

When actually its cardboard

LMAO

[paper bloom]

I legit thought this was a wooden case

[valid flint]

wootingXtofu guys, did you use the wooting silicone or the black softer pad thingy with holes in it for the switches?
Did you use the tofu solid mat or did you use the wooting one? I want it as thocky as possible

[fluid ravine]

Morning even though it's 1pm for me

[fluid ravine]

I'd say the same

[winter mirage]

hey guys will the alumaze increase or decrease the noise of the keyboard does the padding dampen?

[untold wigeon]

😵‍💫

[winter mirage]

I have a pre built 60he+ and I just pre ordered a 80 so I was going to make my 60 my work keeb. With the niose on the board currently stock prebuilt its a little loud for an office setting I think

[fierce canyon]

you can put soft o-rings under your keycaps to make them bottom out ontop the switch instead of the stem inside bottoming out

that's what i did for a while

[fallen crag]

Alumaze, PC plate, silicone standoffs and handlubing them switches sounds really nice

[paper bloom]

Cardboard is good as well

[fierce canyon]

another mod i'd been considering is getting rubber or silicon washers to cut up and fit into some of my switches, to reduce sound. Right now i use nylon washers 'cause they bottom out harder (nicer for RT) but most of my keys don't need that

[fierce canyon]

(the Inner and outer diameter of the washers i use are 5mm and 10mm respectively if you go for that option)

o-rings are significantly easier and not much more expensive though, they just might not feel or sound as nice

[harsh dove]

https://cannonkeys.com/products/nicepbt-1928

I kinda like these

Reminds me of that tube art mouse mat you sent @stray tiger

[fierce canyon]

keep in mind switches and keycaps are the biggest source of sound btw

oh yeah! also switch films may help reduce noise

[harsh dove]

Rubber hose art is the proper name

Couldn’t remember lol

[fluid ravine]

Yes, I know 2 users that have done this

[stray tiger]

Yeah, the copyright (or something like that) for that art style recently expired so it's legal for people to use it now.

[harsh dove]

Very nice

Yeah it’s from like the 30s

[stray tiger]

Yes I've done it and it works well.

[harsh dove]

I can’t decide on a set for the 80HE

White zinc

New Xray set from KBD looks good

Dunno if I just wanna do WOB

[iron bear]

WOB is always solid

Those X-Ray caps look quite nice can always get som Cerakeys

[spiral anvil]

How heavy?

[harsh dove]

Was also looking at GMK Redacted

And Deepwell

[latent fern]

omg it fits perfectly

how much weight did it add? does it change the sound?

[iron bear]

Kinda like Redacted too but depends on what the look/theme one wants to achieve

[harsh dove]

Just a clean white keyboard really but I like redacted feel like it’d look good on the white zinc

[iron bear]

Yeah i like it though it stands out a bit, like a BOW but with something extra

[stray tiger]

It was the 1/4oz ones and I can't say it changed the sound but made it heavier and less resonant

[spiral anvil]

I'm try the 1/2oz one

Can't wait to confuse the hell out of people when they lift my wood keyboard

[iron bear]

Oh you got a custom wooden one?

[spiral anvil]

Yea I got a wood case

[iron bear]

Ok, made it yourself?

[spiral anvil]

Nah just bought of ETSY

I could make my own but I didn't have tools on hand

It would probably cost me more in tools to get a nice case made so I just bought one that looked nice

[iron bear]

Ookie 👍

Yeah, i've got the Tofu60 Walnut as a extra case

[coarse root]

Hi, Ive ordered the wooting 60he module and Im waiting on my friend to give me a case. Im wondering if in the meantime I could use my old anne pro 2 case with the wooting module.

Do you know if it is gonna fit

[shell geode]

Here's the compatibility list: #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[fluid ravine]

If the Anne Pro 2 case has gh60 compatibility then yeah

i think it does

[shell geode]

I don't think it does. Here's Anne Pro 2 case and the bottom right mounting holes don't align with the 60he pcb: https://ymdkey.com/products/anne-pro-2-aluminum-case-or-wood-case-for-anne-pro-2

[shell geode]

Sorry, it won't fit

[fluid ravine]

ah it doesnt

[quiet bay]

https://novelkeys.com having huge sale

salvation case is 205 usd rn

In the future i'll get it 😭

very far far future

[iron bear]

What's so special about the Salvation case?

[quiet bay]

Leaf spring mount

looks smegsy

nice bezels 🤤

i'd only recommend buying when it's on sale though

[iron bear]

Sure but the Fjell is my personal favourite, 2kg for the 60% factor sheesh

[quiet bay]

I wouldn't mind having it but too chonky xd

I like a more simple box look anyways

[iron bear]

Yeah was thinking of having changing the 60HE to the normal plastic case instead of the Alumaze to have it as a travel keeb

[median spade]

Other colors $185 too

[quiet bay]

ooh yeah

The ecoats or special ones are more expensive 🥹

[median spade]

Fjell good, but outdated. Was a nice case in 2019 when not much else was out there

[iron bear]

Still a heavy case and just not having the Tofu look

The Tofu60 Walnut was not what i thought it would be the typing angle feels off

[median spade]

If you haven't already tho don't get it for 60he imo

sounded like a tin can when i had it

[iron bear]

Ok 👀

[loud zephyr]

Nuke Data gone of course. Damn I guess I'll have to settle for Ronzilla squishy toy

Wow, it even sold out despite the price increase

[median spade]

probs because it was included in the b2g1

so even if you spentt hat much you still got free other kit

[idle pier]

i just bought the kit + lube on wooting's store to lube switches and wanna start now. is the wooting guide a best reference to start off? or are there better guides?

[loud zephyr]

The listing just looks odd in comparison to the rest, the green is meant to be the discounted price

[median spade]

Yee

I just know there was another set in the B2G1 that was same price as that

they didn't really do a deal lmao

[velvet egret]

Does anyone maybe know if the wooting travel case 60% might get a redesign? really liking the tavel case design they got for the 80% wooting keyboard.

[harsh dove]

My custom plates just arrived, on my way home to test them out

Hopefully they arrived safely

great deal on salvation case rn! 185-205!

[harsh dove]

Not only that

It’s case only

Which is a bit of a surprise

Usually they force you to buy the full kit

[devout torrent]

yeah you can buy pcb seperately if you want to

quite a nice deal

you do still get plate with this

[ancient bluff]

https://t.co/Hm9M567srU

[harsh dove]

Custom plates

[harsh dove]

Yeah amazing deal

Just nice to have options

Instead of forcing people to buy something they’re not gonna use

[ancient bluff]

any thoughts on this switch

[devout torrent]

brand new no one has them in hand yet

but they are wooting compatible

[quiet bay]

I would love to have that white ecoat salvation but $205

[velvet egret]

these new HE switches?

yes

JWK has entered the game

Gonna give you more arthritis than stuff already

and get a unique plate

Cardboard case

[untold wigeon]

i wonder with enough patience and skill

how much of it can actually be cardboard

apart from the internals

keycaps, case, plate

[weary tree]

does the salvation case need a special plate or something? or does it just work with the wooting as it is

[harsh dove]

Just use a wooting plate with it

or buy custom like I did

[weary tree]

👍

[harsh dove]

Works with the Wooting Steel and PC plates

[stray tiger]

Ended up being offsite all day and missed some of the Novelkeys sale items. By the time I got home only the GMK Olive was in-stock of the sets I wanted. I did pick up 3 of the PBT sets I didnt have though.

[harsh dove]

Yeah I almost pulled the trigger on some of those PBT sets

I'll look again and see now that I'm off work

[stray tiger]

3 sets for $99 is a fricken steal, and you get free shipping

[harsh dove]

yeah true

stop making me spend money Tirade

[stray tiger]

I do not encourage spending money on keyboards. They are a luxury item. That being said, keyboards are better then other things so if you were going to spend it on other wasteful stuff, go with a keyboard instead.

jwk joining the HE game

[spiral anvil]

Everglide Box HE switches from the translation

[warm island]

is the tofu60 redux acrylic the only frosted/transparent case that's 100% compatible with the 60he? looking for a case swap that has that frosted/transparent look.

[spiral anvil]

Man I never thought knowing JP would help translate keyboard switches out of all things

[spiral anvil]

Any GH60 case should be fine

[fluid ravine]

Wait fr?

:0

[median spade]

yeah everglide is jwk

so those box ones linked above

[fluid ravine]

ohhh

thought they were making a HE board
was gonna say idk if i should be happy or not

[median spade]

they got the grippers too

[fluid ravine]

but releasing a HE switch should be interesting

[median spade]

means you can do plateless 60he if you wanted

[fluid ravine]

OH SHI?

Arthritis tho..

[median spade]

yeah gg on removing them

well you would just need to press each one

as it's the same concept as clip in stabs

[spiral anvil]

God I would hate that

[median spade]

this video shows how much they grip

https://youtu.be/NmAMymAI2mk?si=2isY_vkdF7Tgwk_z

diferrent switches but uses the same concept

[pastel vigil]

What am I doing wrong?

[fluid ravine]

very wrong 😂
Push the oring in the module

into the case

[weary tree]

you have screw in stabs

[fluid ravine]

cant have it sticking out of the plate

[median spade]

Also did you get the thinner oring

[fluid ravine]

and that

[weary tree]

svrew in stabs wont work

[fluid ravine]

We must try!

[weary tree]

get plate mount or preferably clip inas

[median spade]

or thinner oring

[weary tree]

clip ins

[pastel vigil]

I got the one people said was compatible with screw ins

Graveshift 40a

[fluid ravine]

It seems doable from what im seeing

just try to get it in

[spiral anvil]

Try foam layer

[pastel vigil]

https://mech.land/products/graveshift-o-rings?variant=41067113185433

[fluid ravine]

@pastel vigil oh wait

i think i see a problem

Are you using Silicone pad?

[spiral anvil]

Like you put the o-ring in between pcb and plate

[fluid ravine]

idk if im seeing it right but from the image i think i see you using a silicone pad

[pastel vigil]

I am using silicone pad

[pastel vigil]

I understand that, but the stabs are in the way lol

[fluid ravine]

Cant gummy mount with silicone

[pastel vigil]

aight am gonna swap it out and see

[fluid ravine]

The oring need to be inserted into the module while allowing the module to fit in the case

[fluid ravine]

The only options you can do is No plate foam or poron plate foam

Fyi No plate foam will make it easier to take in and out

Poron works cus it gets compressed by the oring and it would still allow the module to fit into the case with the oring

However silicone doesnt compress so the oring would stick out otherwise

You could still gummy mount with screw in stabs, so id suggest you to keep trying with or without the plate foam

[pastel vigil]

Used the poron

Ended up working! Thanks all.

I might cut the edges on silicone and try it just for fun at some point lol

[fluid ravine]

No problemo

[fluid ravine]

hmm

[winter mirage]

any high quality keycap suggestions?

[polar girder]

the medium ring fits my stock screw ins with no plate foam in a redux

[oblique notch]

i just got my wooting any first mods i should do? and also can i get some keycap recommendations please

[fallen crag]

Handlubing them switches

Its absolutely worth it

[latent fern]

my fav keycaps are Wuque Studios keycaps

best double shot pbt

[fallen crag]

You could also try cardboard xD

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[quaint notch]

does anyone have a sound test of the zync alloy case for 80he

[fallen crag]

https://youtu.be/uz9pTOLbeos?feature=shared

Thats probably the closest you will get to hearing it for now..

[tawdry tree]

why does there always have to be something wrong with the switch’s orientation in renders 🤣

[indigo oasis]

Wooting stabs size?

[tawdry tree]

1.6mm if that’s what you mean.

6.25U spacebar.

[old kayak]

New to getting a nice keyboard, are keycaps universal or is there a size I need to look for when buying

[lament grail]

Is there a cad model for the case of the 80HE?

I’d like to print my own

[obsidian dagger]

you need mx stem (which is >99% of all keycaps), so you are pretty much good there. Pay attention to the layout you have, and a 6.25u bottom row (which is also the most common/usually included). Very low keycaps might have issues.

To sum it up, it's universal with an asterisk. These conditions are real easy to avoid. If you just buy any set, it will most likely fit.

[agile grove]

there will be design files once the keyboard ships

[old kayak]

Appreciate you

[median spade]

This is from the website

[quiet bay]

def sounds a lot better

stabs need some work tho

[median spade]

well as you found with your spacebar and wooting keycaps

tht's probably the issue here

[slim veldt]

is wooting compatible with cherry mx blues??

[normal schooner]

no you need hall effect switches

[quiet bay]

i fixed the spacebar sound by filling it in with some kilmat

maybe because the spacebar is too hollow

[slim veldt]

oh okay, thank you

[median spade]

the fix is gmk

it's always the answer

[grim steppe]

I overlubed TX AP clip-ins (space doesn’t even go back after pressing )
How to unlube them?

[median spade]

ultrasonic cleaner

or put keycaps on them and literally just spam it over and over

[grim steppe]

I don’t have one

[median spade]

It's the only way to truly unlube them

but just use your hands to spam it to thin it out a bit

all you can do really

[grim steppe]

It is impossible to spam if key doesn’t go back…🌚

[median spade]

yes

grab the keycaps on the side with your fingers

and pull it up and down

[grim steppe]

Okay
Will try
Thanks

#🪛│modding_faq you can start off here

You can let us know if you have any questions

[minor mist]

question to the keycap masters around here, if i cut down some keycaps (the part where it connect with the switch, to make it lower would they normally still work fine? i got some low profile keycaps, they are great, but i have bougght a set that i am custumizing by hand, and i wanted to make them the same height as the low profile ones. i think theres enough gap inside to cover it but i'm not sure, anyone tried?

[fluid ravine]

Can you lend me a piece

[stray tiger]

No, if you shorten that stem inside your keycap will start hitting the plate

[minor mist]

then how do my low profile keycaps dont do that?

what i mean is to cut a normal size keycap, into the same size as my low profile keycap

[stray tiger]

Because the entire keycap profile is shorter, not just the stem

[minor mist]

ah i see

[minor mist]

are they that much thicker on the top?

[stray tiger]

Also you are going to end up with a massive gap between the switches and plate that is going to be very visible

[minor mist]

yeah i have seen all those images, but they dont tell the full picture, they are not mentioning if the size of the keycap is bigger in the interior pole or if they are bigger on the top part of the keycap

[fluid ravine]

Terms of height and thicknes yes

[stray tiger]

It would look like this

[minor mist]

i would assume both are happening probably no? both the interior cherry pole is taller and the top of the keycap aswell

[stray tiger]

exactly

[harsh dove]

Goodmornin'

[stray tiger]

Mornign buddy. Did you do the FR4 last night?

[harsh dove]

Nah, gonna do it today probs, woke up sick af lol

[stray tiger]

Ahh that sucks. At least youre off today

[harsh dove]

I was supposed to go to birthday dinner for my aunt's bday but probs gonna stay home

yeah def

[grim steppe]

How to prevent getting dialectic grease between housing and stem of stabilizers? It makes it immobile🌚

[minor mist]

yeah i am using low profile, technically what i wanted to do is change my normal profile keycap by trimming the bottom both the pole and the side of the keycap to be honest i dont think to top part is that much thicker then the low profile keycap

I will do one to test it out.

[stray tiger]

Sounds like too much grease is being used

[grim steppe]

I just put wire in grease like in this guide…
https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8?si=jAUP9OQCcvf2KGrL
I didn’t even add it with syringe. It was already immobile🌚

[stray tiger]

Are you sure the grease is causing that? Can you record a video clip and show us the issue?

[hazy citrus]

has anyone tried a spacebar foam mod

[agile grove]

what stabs are you using?

[grim steppe]

I've already disassembled the stabilizers to wash out the grease
But after pressing the key with the stabilizers, it just won't go back

[stray tiger]

Sounds like you inserted the stabilizer stem in backwards (assuming you mean it wont go down), if you mean it wont come back up but goes down just fine then its something else.

[median spade]

could also be the plate is too tight

tolerances wise

[grim steppe]

I'm pretty sure it's caused by friction because it moves if you help, but I'm not sure of the cause of the friction

[stray tiger]

Are they the stock stabs?

[grim steppe]

No
TX AP

PCB mounted

[stray tiger]

Then its likely the stabs are too tight in the plate. if its the PC plate youll want to file down the opening just a bit

Id suggest different stabs though

[grim steppe]

I will test it without lube

I'll see if the plate is the problem

[median spade]

yeah mount them on the pcb and use a switch

[grim steppe]

It doesn’t go down even under the weight of stem holder

[brazen sparrow]

that doesnt seem right

[stray tiger]

Its not the lube its your stabilizer

[grim steppe]

It was not like this before I lubed it😁
It was very easy to move it up and down after lubing with 205g0
Then I added permatex 22058…🌚

[austere creek]

how much dialectric grease did you add that thats how it turned out

id have said its wrongly assembled or smth but not too much lube

[grim steppe]

Just dipped the wire in dialectic grease

[tawdry tree]

It’s not because of the grease alone at least.

Is the wire getting stuck in the stabilizer’s stem

It’s either the wire getting stuck in the stabilizer’s stem or the stabilizer’s stem gets stuck in the housing, maybe a ledge or rough spot?

[agile grove]

is the wire under the stem?

[stray tiger]

Can you verify its assembled correctly

This is NOT lube related

[velvet egret]

@stray tiger Maybe you might know this. Since the pre-order of he 80 HE they are also showing a new carrying case for the 80% a studier one. would you know if they are going to redesign the 60% to be like the 80He carrying case. im really looking for a sturdy case for my 60he(redux) so ican take it to work and not have to use their shitty 1cent keyboards.

[grim steppe]

I tried to wash out grease with soap and water. Now it is better but not good enough. One side of stabilizer still experiences quite a bit of viscous friction

[idle pier]

mmhmhmh guys i fucked up and lubed my switches a tad too much, is there any way to easily fix that?

[stray tiger]

I dont have any information about that. I do own 4 of these and they work great though https://kbdfans.com/products/kbdfans-d60-mechanical-keyboard-carrying-case

[stray tiger]

If its like a LOT too much, Id clean them and start over. If its just a little too much, you can take a dry brush and try wiping some out. if its just a tiny bit too much, itll settle in with use and dont worry about it

[idle pier]

thanks for the advice, i really like how they sound so i'll keep them as is for a few days and see if there is any improvement, otherwise i'll wipe some out

[velvet egret]

Alright awesome. ill grab myself that one then! Do you know if it fits with a redux i would assume so but just to make sure.

[stray tiger]

Should fit fine and the inserts come out to even hold a 65%

[velvet egret]

owh nice! Thanks wisefather :p

How are your streams coming along? any more progress since the last switch test stream/vid?

[stray tiger]

Getting close actually. Ran into a few issues but hope to have them fixed this weekend:

1. I use a 2 PC setup and the 2nd PC is a dedicated streaming machine. It was a laptop and when recording at 4k or at 2k 60FPS the fans would spin up fast and get too loud for recording. I tried to put fan speed limits on that machine but then the CPU and GPU got too hot and would start dropping frames after the stream was running for a while. So I built a dedicated streaming mini PC thats near silent, just waiting on the last fan to arrive today.
2. I changed out some microphones. The shotgun mic I was using for the overhead capture was a bad choice for a small inside room. I replaced it with a new mic and I'm just waiting on a longer cable that should also arrive today.

I have tested the new streaming PC running a simultaneous 4k 30FPS stream and capture then again with a 2k 60FPS stream and capture and both worked great.

If you were watching that night where my stream started to freeze after a while, that was why. I thought it was my bandwidth but it was the laptop throttling due to temps

[velvet egret]

You really went full out on this. Awesome. Can't wait for this top quality content. How come you decided to go with a dual pc setup? A Single should just be fine no for streaming due to the fact your not gaming on it. (im probably missing out some info on your plans).
Im actually stoked for you especially with all the differnet microphones and angles itl really give us a way clearer picture/sound profile to what everything sounds like.

sadly wasnt able to watch it live. also past few weeks been in and out of the chat currently really drilling down into getting my IT certs :). want to get a few done this year so really gotta put in the time and learn them.

[stray tiger]

Why I went with 2 PC's is a question I ask myself every day lol. Truth is I did initially want to stream games as a secondary option so now I can should I ever want to go that route. The other issue was that I couldnt connect 3 elgato 4k cam links to my main PC along with all of my other USB devices. Elgato requires each cam link to be on its own USB host controller.

[stray tiger]

Feel free to add me on linkedin if you are working towards an IT career

[velvet egret]

ahh i see, makes sense now why u went with 2 pcs. hopefully self build :p. ever since ive build my own years ago i can never look at a prebuild again haha

Yeah for sure!. What's your linked in?

[pastel vigil]

I feel like I may be crazy but I think lekkers sound better than jades and the plastic case sounds better than aluminimum case. Everything else is the exact same.

But am using jades and alumaze because it feels better lol

[stray tiger]

Sent you a DM

[hazy citrus]

sound preference is really preference isnt it

[pastel vigil]

True.

[median spade]

[stray tiger]

BTW the new dedicated streaming PC is just using an intel arc a310 GPU. Was $90 and can stream 8k video without breaking a sweat. The only other way to get a dedicated AV1 encoder is with an nvidia 40XX series card.

[hazy citrus]

RDNA 3 will also support AV1 encoding

[stray tiger]

Also, you can't see it well in the pic but I added a second bamboo desk top to my desk and sandwich a layer of killmat between the 2 layers to reduce and reduce the hollowness that the top was making.

[stray tiger]

Well the streaming PC will never be used for gaming at this point so the arc card was a good choice. As long as it stays under 60c the fans never kick on. If they do kick on, it's audible so the extra fan Im waiting on thats coming today is to keep the temps down enough to try and prevent the GPU fans from coming on. During streaming it gets up to about 62c so I just need a little air on it.

[normal schooner]

ah i see the thockfather applies the clean desk policy

[hazy citrus]

yeah that makes sense to me, I'm just saying u can also get AV1 encoding on AMD
