#

what does 8k polling do for the new 80he coming out?

polar girder
#

Decrease latency slightly, as any form of increase in reporting speed would do for an input

#

But we’re talking single digit ms improvements, I’m pretty sure

#

60HE is already the king of low latency keyboard

#

8k is exciting tho

#

Makes me want to buy my 4th Wooting blobhyperthinkfast

#

But alas, I refuse the form factor.

#

FWIW sanic

#

Really hoping for Mouz W but really think Spirit is too determined to win this one. And highly talented.

Why is the 60HE saying RAAKA and not wooting? Anmd what are the ARM and AVR models?

stray tiger
#

Rakka's PCB is also called the 60HE and AVR is the early early of the Wooting 60HE

pastel vigil
#

Is the ARM the current model?

#

Good to know, ty

polar girder
#

yeah with rappy snappy and 8k wooting prob back on top

#

hope 1k and rappy snappy stays on top also tho dogekek

#

I will only be happy when all devices are sub 1ms latency

pastel vigil
#

Ill only be happy when there is no latency

#

I actually want the devices to input before I even know I want to

polar girder
#

Nice. Good call.

#

@pastel vigil in your gummy o-ring board are you using a tofu redux case also?

pastel vigil

The wooting PCB doesnt use those

will the non-removable standoffs cause any issues?

# harsh dove Yessir

I'm pretty surprised response time is not more of a major deal for "gamers", since there have been released many HE boards since Wooting, but like all of them do 2-40ms worse than Wooting, but very few seem to care.
also the pros don't care for some reason, not nearly enough.

#

also that picture seems inaccurate, don't know where it's from, if you look at RTINGS tests, I think many of those boards do far worse than Wooting. I trust those tests more.
like people care much more about monitor latency than this seems like, when this is almost as important, especially on HE boards that do like 30ms worse and still sell very well.

stray tiger
median fog
#

a lot of those are not even relevant, like osu kbs or too big etc

stray tiger
#

Doesn't make them not relevant, just means not relevant to you

median fog
#

Rakka 60HE is also optical for example, not as precise and probably no rapid trigger, but otherwise pretty nice.

stray tiger
median fog
#

ok was on wrong page, hard to find that new one
called Holy60 for some reason

stray tiger
#

What graphs like this dont show is software maturity, firmware maturity, features and support. All of which Wooting sits at #1 in every category.

median fog
#

but you see it has 3 sensors in both Shift positions, and also seems like Enter, for ISO/ANSI compatibility, so seems like it's very possible to do with HE
so because of that cool thing it's actually better than Wooting already (since it's as good at other things too).

#

but the plate provided in the keyboard kit only supports the 60% ANSI layout and split Right Shift. If you desire other layouts, you'll need to create the plate yourself.
But silly to not have additional ISO version (plate) tho, that also supports split Shifts.
ISO always neglected, criminal
(but somehow Zoom75 manages to support everything with same plate, so it's possible after all (just probably some "issues" with inconsistent lighting) (but it's not HE, so probably easier))

Oh yea the strap files are somewhere here right?

Probably a dumb question but can I switch the case if I bought a standard version?

And not the module version

He will, it was just unexpected to wake up and see a $300 charge lol
, for context I let him use my card before to help pay for a dentist bill, but he never removed my card off his file, so they charged it again

#

Yeah he just needs to remove my card off his account

median spade
#

Yeah that is definitely something I have never heard before

harsh dove
#

Lmao yeah I knew it’d sound random af

left zealot
#

Can confirm: putting Gateron Jade switches in the 60HE makes it sound way better 😛

#

Sound profile is the same as my custom board now. Only a bit louder. Could fix that by removing the weight bar in the Tofu case and putting more foam in it but i think im fine with this for now.

Is there a design file for the wooting two he available here ?
I know there is one on GitHub but it's for a 3d model, I wonder if there is one in for the dimensions on a pdf or something like that here ( a technical drawing of it for example if you don't understand ).

you can get technical drawings out of the stl files

Hi guys! Have anyone here tried putting on the keycaps from Drop + Matt3o MT3 on the Wooting? I'm intrigued to see how it looks 🙂

near barn
#

question; is there any type of film or paint i could do to put under my keycaps to reflect rgb?

spiral anvil
#

You'd have to do that yourself

where can you buy replacement springs for HE switches?

just wanted to followup and say that this project is done! and holy hell do I love my new feeling board! I had no idea it would make such a huge difference to get lube+film and some slightly stiffer springs. but it feels like a whole new board and its a joy to type on

#

first time doing this but I fear its created higher standards for future me in regards to buying keyboards....nothing else feels right to me anymore

pastel vigil
#

just search wooting springs

#

Wooting doesn't currently have springs on their website but its soon tm

Yo

#

Does anyone know if putting tape on a plate makes a significant difference

spiral anvil
latent fern
polar girder
#

Well there’s a couple different types of tape

#

Painters tape or tempest mod on the underside of PCB

#

Or moleskin on the under side

#

Or medical paper tape on the top side

#

But I guess never directly on the plate

#

With PC plate I don’t think I would trust it

#

Seems very high maintenance to execute properly

vale swan
#

I used 1 layer of paper tape on the back of my pcb and its much better

what are some trusted keycap sellers for europe

#

Should the silicone pad in the module be tight and not move when touched, or should it be a bit loose?

#

I noticed yesterday that in one corner, the silicone pad moved a lot when I touched it with my hand. Perhaps I will try tightening the screws in the back.

#

Yeah exactly, your end game keyboard can be a heck of a lot different than mine. All depends on what you think is important on your board. And it may also take some time until you will find the sweetspot. Just go a head and play with it. Insert some foam, test it. Change it. Maybe insert a weight bar for the case you have if it support it and see what that does.

#

Change the switches around. That will make a lot of difference. I have the Gateron Jade switches in it now and that feels and sounds a heck of a lot better than the first iteration of the Lekkers. The Lekker switches are fine for gaming, but sound wise they lack a little IMO. There are also people that like the sound of the Lekker Switches, So it all depends on what YOU like 🙂

#

I currently got raptors and l60 at home.. due to sale on the jades im very tempted to get them and try them out.

left zealot
#

The Jades are amazing IMO. They kinda have the same sound profile as my hand lubed Akko CS Jelly Blacks. Not THAT good, but the profile is there 🙂

#

I could take out the weight bar in my Tofo 60 Redux, and then put some more foam in the case to it would sound better than it does now I guess.

velvet egret
#

I do type literally all day long and game at night. is the typing feeling better than raptors would you know?

left zealot
#

I don't have the raptors here currently, but the typing feel is pretty good. I'm a developer, so I too do type a lot 🙂

#

But i got my custom board for that. But i gotta say, i just put myself on the Wooting 60HE for a few days just to see how the typing feel is and man it's so much better than before.

#

I could type on this for days

#

The Jades won't let you down im sure. Atleast for me they feel pretty good for typing. Not to heavy, not too soft.

#

And as for gaming goes; Tried some counter strafing yesterday in CS2 and that goes flawlesly

velvet egret
#

alright might just give it a shot since they are on a good sale. Thanks for quick responses 🙂

#

From what ive read in the chat, it had been said the factory lubing is pretty good. did you end up lubing them yourself again?

#

if i recall correctly someone in the chat only lubed the tophousing and the spring i believe

left zealot
#

I just wanted to try them stock first. Indeed to test how the lubing from factory is. It's pretty decent

#

Also sound tested them next to my ear, cant really hear any nasty spring ping

#

Yeah i got some spare switches and just tested it again for you. No spring ping 🙂

#

So they did a pretty good job

velvet egret
#

Awesome thanks!

cedar gate
#

Jades are super good and I love pbt cherry profile keycaps as well with them

#

A pc plate can help them sound even nicer

#

would you guys recommend putting switch films on my 60he? is it worth it?

unless you like a stiff typing experience instead all day then HE great for that

pastel vigil
#

Is there like an article or video on all the mounting styles

#

i just know of screw in, gasket and gummy o ring

median spade
#

A lot of the other ones are not used as much anymore, and for good reason

#

But there is this

#

Tray and Integrated being the worst imo

velvet egret
median spade
#

Plateless, or some forms of gaskets are the softest

pastel vigil
#

plateless is wild

median spade
#

I like gasket with a PP or Pom plate if I’m going for comfortable

Well i did go from a ducky one 2 mini from like 2018 to my wooting 60HE. thats already a world difference to me

vale swan
median spade
#

Yeah it’s decent

vale swan
#

way too much for me though

median spade
#

IDB60 and Kijou been the best platless I’ve tried

#

For feel

vale swan
#

the salvation with just 2 screws in and a normal pcb feels good enough for me

#

I wouldn't go for more

primal pollen
#

Wow I just got my salavation put together. Its way better than I expected

vale swan
#

Yeah I got mine in recently, its quite nice

#

it has the 60he+ module in it currently but it will have an MX build as well

primal pollen
#

I always wanted one but missed the first round forever ago

#

Glad I was monitoring this chat lol

stray tiger
#

Too flexy can be problematic for me. Makes my typing worse. A good middle ground is what I usually look for

median spade
#

I bought one for my 60he and then it was too good with my Mx build so that’s how it’s used now dogekek

vale swan
#

I managed to get the white one but my keycaps don't really match imo so need to buy new ones

vale swan
#

the 60he with the jades and fr4 plate in the salvation is enough for me

velvet egret
vale swan
#

I might try the frog mini in the future too

pastel vigil
median spade
#

Frog mini is best for 60he imo

#

I just have a silver one so don’t use it dogekek

vale swan
#

what I can tell you for sure is to avoid normal tray mount

median spade
#

Was best experience so far but if it was black would be still using it

vale swan
#

and i dislike silver

#

white with gmk dracula already looks sus

median spade
#

Hypekeyboards in Toronto has plates too

#

I am in EU

#

I am definintely not going for Canada stuff

#

#

median spade
#

Based on one of his reviews yeah

#

Good, cuz I got pretty fucked with the salvation

pastel vigil

#

Anything Aussie land is just expensive

#

For anyone even the people who live there

vale swan
#

VAT got my ass badly

#

EU moment indeed

#

Wait why did you buy from us for salvation

vale swan
#

peak this

#

i bought it from salvuns store

median spade
#

Oh rip

vale swan
#

I came from an o ring tofu redux

median spade
#

One perk about being America

vale swan
#

I didn't dislike the sound

#

but the feel was stiff as fuck

#

I type a lot on this thing

median spade
#

Indeed

vale swan
#

i tried the redux again and it feels like I'm typing on cement

median spade
#

I gave up on my 60he as its only used for gaming so stopped caring

#

Trying all the cases for it

#

Salvation, Frog, Fjell, etc

vale swan
#

I have 3 cases for it and 3 switches so I think I'm fine

#

Salvation Redux and Alumaze

median spade
#

All sounded meh so now it’s just friction mounted in a freebird60

vale swan
#

og lubed L60, lubed 45 and lubed jades

velvet egret
#

Did you guys notice a big difference from going from redux -> salvation?

vale swan
#

In the salvation with 1 layer of tape it sounds as good as I could get it for an HE imo

#

feel wise yes

lost badge
#

\\\

vale swan
#

sound wise debatable compared to O ring

median spade
#

Yeah I hate tape mod and it made salvation not have the ping with HE

#

But didn’t like the sound so now it’s just Mx build

vale swan
#

yeah thats exactly my problem

#

tho I use no deskpad

median spade
#

But I got it for $140 so life is good dogekek

vale swan
#

Yeah

#

I wanna try some HMX stuff because I saw the factory lube is pretty good and they sound good

pastel vigil
#

Why is Salvation and Fjell so expensive compared to other cases that seem like they have the same material and everything?

vale swan
#

because it's not just a basic design

#

and salvation has a very good mount

median spade
#

Design, smaller amount of units, brass weights, materials used, etc

vale swan
#

it's nice not to risk cutting your finger when you touch the edge of your keyboard

pastel vigil
#

Still seems like a pretty steep difference, like 2/3x that of a tofu with brass weight

vale swan
#

thats a tofu redux problem

vale swan
#

yes

#

tofu has extremely sharp corners

pastel vigil
#

So happy with my freebird60

#

Got it for like $50 from fb marketplace, guy never used it.

vale swan
#

by comparison

#

with the salvation

vale swan
#

yeah

#

watched alexotos use em a lot

#

I tune into his streams almost daily

pastel vigil
#

I always o ring, idk why it just feels too good

vale swan
#

well i had a lot of problems with o ring because of the stabs

median spade
#

I like the clouds I have on hand

#

P nice

vale swan
#

I wanna buy GMK frost with first

pastel vigil
vale swan
#

think it'd go nicely with the white salvation

vale swan
#

stabs would bow on the sides and sound like shit

#

wiht the kbdfans cf plate it worked much better

pastel vigil
#

yeah tx stabs kind of hit or miss with ther wooting

If i got cherry clip ins it'd work beautifully

#

and thats that

#

They stocked the KS20Us too on gat's official store there

median spade
#

I got zoom75 from a guy and he lost all the foam as I wanted to make one foam monster build. Since all my other ones are clack

#

And they got my back

vale swan
#

I tried putting foam again but I hate it ngl in both the redux and the salvation

#

I can't do foamy builds anymore

median spade
#

Yeah it’s just this one build for me for like 30 mins dogekek

#

I am a high pitched connoisseur

vale swan
#

I also want a louder keyboard which is why i think the KS20U is inferior to the Jades

median spade
#

I rock Jades and they’re the best so far

vale swan
#

yeah

median spade
#

But tbh HE still sucks

#

Compared to MX

vale swan
#

Also I feel like I'm going schizo with these keycaps

#

I hand lubed them and they still are shit compared to MX

#

does this look good? I feel like I should go with frost witch on this

#

at times I think it looks good but other times i think it sucks lmao

on white idk

#

a bit of a shame because I bought these recently

median spade
#

I imagine it would look good on a grey board too

#

frost witch seems cheaper by like 10 eur than dracula funnily enough

then we have ghost of tsuhima soon too

still new to keycaps and modding myself and have been thinking if I should get get a GMK set also but they're expensive and ABS vs PBT is still a question for me, so I'm trying cheaper stuff before going all-in xD

vale swan
#

my dracula is already shined on wasd lshift and the spacebar

#

after like 3 months

median spade
#

abs best

#

well gmk abs

vale swan
#

yeah

median spade
#

and pbtfans stuff not bad either

pastel vigil
#

Good ABS > Good PBT > Bad PBT > Bad ABS

median spade
#

everything else abs usually bad lol

vale swan
#

its not bad no

pastel vigil
#

Imo

vale swan
median spade
#

yeah i agree

#

ill take good pbt over bad abs

vale swan
#

Drop DCX also has pretty decent ABS

median spade
#

bad abs is just the worst

#

oh yeah dcx too

#

also good

vale swan
#

pbtfans from what i've seen has more abs than pbt now which is LOL

upbeat parrot
#

I'll have to try them

vale swan
#

these also grip on much tighter on the switches compared to my pbtfans sets(pbt)

#

with the pbtfans spacebar i had to get a little creative for it to not pop off with Jades

upbeat parrot
#

ever since I got into keycaps I saw many evangelion clones, but didn't have ISO. Maybe GMK has somethingalong those lines

median spade
#

spacebars are honestly the only reason i ever dislike pbt

upbeat parrot
#

really like the purple and toxic green look

vale swan
#

not to hate or anything but I fucking despise ISO enters

median spade
#

they sound so muted and are heavy so dont' return as well

vale swan
#

they sound glassy to me

#

like

#

the gmk spacebar sounds so different

#

it is insane

#

it completely changes it

#

i hated my jade spacebar with pbt but ever since i got abs i love it

upbeat parrot
#

sold xD modded my wooting yesterday, and the spacebar was actually the one thing I was still complaining. Holee mod and proper lubing actually solved it, but the sound is still way more clacky than the other keys

vale swan
#

Yeah i sold my other wooting too

#

with the plate mounts

#

wootility knows

upbeat parrot
#

but back to my first question, if anyone has an idea, would really help

#

Is it true that regular coiled wires don't work well with Wooting? And if they do work, do you know if there will be any issue with 80HE? Also, are there any advantages to the Wooting coiled cable? Thanks

upbeat parrot
#

tried it as well

#

the foam I got was the wrong size 😦

pastel vigil
vale swan
#

I still won't pick a wooting one up because I don't like the colors they offer

#

they dont have a full black white or purple one

slender umbra
#

Having a hard time making a choice haha

upbeat parrot
#

Yeah I've made my order already since they made it available on the website and didn't want to cancel it and make another order just to include the cable :\

#

tks guys

vale swan
upbeat parrot
#

I'll use the standard cable then

pastel vigil
#

The straight cable that comes with the wooting is fine

vale swan
#

its fine but ugly as shit

upbeat parrot
#

performance > looks I guess xD

pastel vigil
#

I agree, even though the yellow fits my aesthetic/desk/setup, I hate it.

upbeat parrot
#

ahahah

#

it did mine too but now it was themed with other colors and yellow really stands out in a wrong way

vale swan
upbeat parrot
#

but it's whatever

vale swan
#

it doesnt fit anywhere

pastel vigil
#

rip

slender umbra
#

Having trouble finding nordic layout ABS gmk keycaps, that ship to Denmark. Maxgaming seems to mostly have PBT

vale swan
#

look at NK or Omnitype

#

they should have something

#

Oblotzky is the only EU vendor out of the 3 that I know but I doubt he has something for that

slender umbra
#

Roger, thanks!

pastel vigil
#

KBDfans spring sale soon, what to expect?

vale swan
#

expect to spend a lot of money

pastel vigil
#

I was tempted with a tofu case but its lighter to just carry a knife around

vale swan
#

I wouldnt buy from them directly anyways due to the imprt fees and shit

#

do their aliexpress store

pastel vigil
#

You don't have to pay import fees from aliexpress?

slender umbra
#

Sometimes I believe

vale swan
#

never paid anything

slender umbra
#

Are there sites for custom made keycaps? I don't mind a higher price

vale swan
#

one of em even had free shipping

slender umbra
#

Just wondering if there exists a website for that sort

primal pollen
#

Does anyone know why they have both black and clear silicone pads for the wooting PCB?

marsh saffron
tardy cove
#

Like a custom color scheme? I think WASDkeyboards makes a custom made color scheme of your choice. But The Legends are kind of fixed so I don't think you could add like custom symbols you basically get what they have available

pastel vigil
#

black poron foam or clear silicon.

#

Unless you mean the PC plate, but that's white and black.

primal pollen
#

I mean the stick on "orings"

pastel vigil
#

ooooh gotcha

#

idk why I thought about plates lol

primal pollen
#

I got clear ones with my module and black ones that came with my alumaze

tardy cove
#

Each only came with one color? My guess was going to be the black was for the non-show side in the clear was for anywhere the silicone might show. But it sounds like each board came with a different color in which case I have no idea lol

primal pollen
#

Yup I have no clue why they came like that. Makes no difference though was just wondering.

vivid jasper
pastel vigil
#

What is the question?

#

They're legit

#

They're just softer lekkers

#

Consider them Lekker 30s instead of 45s or 60s.

#

Been a thing forever

vale swan
#

you can tell by the stem

#

yes

pastel vigil
#

this is the first time you mention anything about single or double rails

#

if it's double rail then yeah it's the first ive heard of it

#

I only know the orange double rail switch

vale swan
#

this is white dual rail, the stem is way different

#

there are white ones now too

#

these are harvested from a prebuilt keyboard iirc

#

its funny too

#

these are 25 eur cheaper than the orange ones

#

from the gat official store

#

tho you have a bit of shipping

#

if you are doing like a pc plate with o ring or a salvation and you want a quieter experience these are good

#

personally Jades are superior

halcyon marsh
#

right side regular thockish left side super springy

pastel vigil
#

Have you tried lubing the left side?

vale swan
#

but that is way too different

brittle yew
#

Yo out of curiosity what do you guys do to dampen a spacebar?
I got the gateron jade switches on my wooting so everything sounds amazing, its just the spacebar of my XDA profile keycaps is a bit too loud.
Does filling in the empty space of the spacebar help? Or not really

primal pollen
#

I use the kbdfans spacebar foam

#

I can tell a difference

brittle yew
#

How much does it cost lol

@boreal fjord did you lube it properly?

Anyone have a place to buy really cool looking 1x1.75 and 1x1.25 keys 🤔

#

I have a maroon theme

#

Need to replace the menu keys and the caps lock

spiral anvil
#

Bruh

#

The cardboard box took out half my paintjob

#

Looks like the paint took longer to dry then I expected

spiral anvil
#

I waited 3 hours and I thought that was enough so I flipped but was still tacky so

#

The cardboard ripped off half my paint job on the front

#

I'll just have to settle for an uneven paint job at this point

#

My can is just about dry

#

I'll just clear coat my way to victory somehow

latent fern
#

theres maybe like 3mm of wiggle room on mine

spiral anvil
latent fern
spiral anvil
#

Repeat

versed viper
#

once you screw it in literally none

#

lemme know if you need help its not as simple as putting it in the stock case

vale swan
#

its not as simple how

#

you just align it with the usb port

#

its normal for tray mount

#

once you tighten the screws it will not move

spiral anvil
#

I hate how there's 1mm shift on usb port from regular cases

#

I would totally get a thick purple plastic case instead of painting the default case bus here we are

#

Gummy O-Ring?

vale swan
#

then legit gummy o ring mount it

spiral anvil
#

A 30A O-Ring should be fine

versed viper
#

corgi

#

I put the stock case's foam

spiral anvil
#

I'll show after I finish painting

#

Ughhhhh

versed viper
#

i unglued the top layer of foam and jsut used one layer and it fit great @balmy flame

spiral anvil
#

Its been like 5 days

#

And I'm still not doneeee

#

I hate waiting for paint to dry

#

This is literally the worst thing ever

versed viper
#

how heavy of a coat did you put

#

light coats man

spiral anvil
#

Its just I have to wait for it to cure

versed viper
#

you dont wanna screw it at all?

#

you have to screw in atleast where the USB port it or it wont line up

spiral anvil
versed viper
#

with the redux you need to screw in the one closest to the port

#

idk why you want your board wigglying around like that

spiral anvil
#

I waited 3 hours and it wasn't dried fully so I have to fix a coat now

versed viper
#

maybe burger mount it so there isnt tons of wiggle?

spiral anvil
versed viper
#

or hang it on wires so you dont run into that

#

yeah just stay with the stock case

#

whats the value of no screws?

#

you want boune when you type?

#

ahh got it

#

it bends when you type

#

slightly

#

so it allows the no contact

#

Cool beans man whatever sound you like

#

i got a carbon plate

vale swan
#

i have 4 plates

#

Carbon Fiber was my favorite in the tofu

#

tray mount is stiff no matter what but FR4 CF or PC will offer a less harsh bottom out compared to steel

#

its the same pcb but drilled for pcb mount stabs

#

why do you want wiggle room

#

if you dont want to use screws get a graveshift m sized o ring or a cannonkeys one

#

to friction mount

#

I'd probably just screw it in then

#

I know it feels and sounds better not screwed in but you will damage the pcb eventually this way

#

because the mounting points are right against the pcb

#

and if it moves a lot it will scratch it or maybe knock something off

#

never seen a flexy tray mount before

#

i need video proof of that

#

?

#

not really and not what i question marked

quasi topaz
#

its not

#

im dumb

#

lemme delete my message pls

vale swan
#

yeah but the redux isnt really designed specifically for the wooting its just a refresh for the old one with the 60% standard tray mount design

#

every tray mount case will have some room for the pcb to move

#

and every case in general

#

if you have the old 60he without the pcb mount stabs just order and o ring and friction mount

#

it will sound better than any config

#

except for the frog mini and salvation

#

yes

spiral anvil
#

Not really no

vale swan
#

they dont feel different but they will sound better if you are unlucky with your plate mounts

spiral anvil
#

Honestly if you get good plate mounted its basically the same

vale swan
#

then keep it

#

if you dont have the 60He+ you can get pcb mount anyways

untold wigeon
#

thinking i might just stay with the L45's, they dont sound that bad. i think it might just be the rattle that makes them mediocre

untold wigeon
#

would an acrylic tofu60 be any upgrade in sound from the stock case due to the density?

untold wigeon
#

$89 after shipping 🤔

untold wigeon
#

hm

spiral anvil
#

I just painted my default case, I'll let you know if it fixes the mass issue

untold wigeon
#

im wondering what to do for sound honestly aside from tape mod

spiral anvil
spiral anvil
untold wigeon
#

im too lazy to sit there and lube each switch individually

#

might not even burger mount either

vale swan
spiral anvil
vale swan
#

Yes thats what I meant

#

The Jades themselves still rattle a bit

#

nowhere near as bad as lekker but still do

spiral anvil
#

I fixed the issue by delubing a bit but still no rattle

vale swan
#

had mine for 3 months and they are handlubed

untold wigeon
#

is it even possible to make a 60he sound premium atm or should i just wait until more options release

vale swan
#

you will not make it sound like an MX keyboard

#

no matter what

#

the Jades are the closest you can get to an MX keyboard

spiral anvil
#

My best attempt

untold wigeon
#

honestly just trying to get it as thocky as possible, i love the springs of the L45's though cause they feel most similar to my A75 despite it sounding better

spiral anvil
vale swan
untold wigeon
vale swan
#

I still handlubed my L45s despite not using them and I felt like lubing the top housing a bit helped reduce the rattle and quientend down the switch a lot

untold wigeon
#

im not that much of a stickler for sound, just prefer that rain on rocks esque sound

spiral anvil
#

Also I'm not a fan of foaming

vale swan
#

neither am I

#

what case and switches are those btw

untold wigeon
#

i honestly dont mind how the L45s sound aside from the rattle

spiral anvil
untold wigeon
#

i think theyre on the creamier side if im not mistaken though with just the default 60he

#

what's the main feature of raptorHEs ?

#

i forgot

spiral anvil
#

Default case is actually the best sounding after all my case rolling

spiral anvil
untold wigeon
#

i see

#

i was under the impression the jade's were the best sounding HE switch atm

spiral anvil
#

Basically since I swapped the plate for the PC one

#

Oh its been a while since I used the metal one but I believe so

untold wigeon
#

this is the best sounding wooting ive seen so far

#

sound test at 13:45

spiral anvil
#

Honestly I just need a thicker plastic case

fluid ravine
untold wigeon
#

think i might go for an all clear build when i case swap but im split between getting keysterine keycaps, jelly poms, or cerakeys solely for the sound

spiral anvil
#

Ah wait fuck I'm out of primer and paint

pastel vigil
#

If two springs are the same force, but one is longer, would the longer one feel heavier?

#

no wait, it would feel lighter?

spiral anvil
pastel vigil
#

That's perfect

vale swan

we say no to thock

fluid ravine
vale swan
#

👍

fluid ravine
#

im having mix opinions about it

vale swan
#

good

fluid ravine
#

lol

vale swan
#

if you were happy about it that'd be too easy

fluid ravine
vale swan
#

Me after plate swapping my keyboard 5 times in 2 days

fluid ravine
#

lmfaooo

vale swan
#

what plate do u think i ended on

fluid ravine
#

prob cf

vale swan
#

pc

fluid ravine
#

damn

vale swan
#

im in the salvation

fluid ravine
#

oh

spiral anvil
#

Honestly we ball with default case

vale swan
#

for tofu it'd be 100% CF

fluid ravine
#

yeye

vale swan
fluid ravine
#

agreed^

vale swan
#

the steel plate in it is also fine

spiral anvil
vale swan
#

tbe problem is the switches

fluid ravine
vale swan
#

if you put jades or 20U's in it it'd sound much better than any $700 L60 wooting

spiral anvil
#

Tofu 60 redux acrylic is probably the only case I'd go for minus the frog mini

fluid ravine
#

acrylic..

#

interesting

spiral anvil
#

But you'd be paying another 250 for that

vale swan
#

i like aluminum with brass weights

vale swan
spiral anvil
#

Frog mini my beloved

vale swan
#

the aussie retailer is the only place I can find a new frog mini

#

and its only in silver

#

thats why I went salvation

spiral anvil
vale swan
#

then I ofc went with white and dont like it with gmk dracula

#

so now i have to get new keycaps too

#

I feel like I'm doing it to myself

#

@fluid ravine whats your take on this

spiral anvil
fluid ravine
#

real

#

something i cant do

vale swan
#

well i can't either

#

I wanted to get something else

#

with those 200 eur

#

I guess GMK gets them again

vale swan
#

🤙

fluid ravine
#

Indeed

#

I do

#

But where the hell did that come from me?

vale swan
#

idk

fluid ravine
#

polyfill my keycaps?

#

i didnt say jack 💀

vale swan
#

im just making shit up

#

dw abt it

fluid ravine
#

good

#

i hope you are..

vale swan
#

someone told me you need to polyfill keycaps to have a truly thocky keyboard

#

😈

fluid ravine
#

cus im over here finding upgrading things for myself and buying a volleyball

vale swan
#

nice

#

I mainly want to change this shit desk top from wood to white

fluid ravine
#

and keycaps

vale swan
#

I don't need anything

#

but I want

#

and I want badly

spiral anvil
#

Blehhh

#

Paint drying is pain

#

Dry faster god damnit

vale swan
#

i saw alexotos put striker on my exact salvation and it looks kinda fire @fluid ravine still might buy frost witch tho

fluid ravine
#

strikerss

vale swan
#

still would tho

#

if u know what i mean

#

😩

fluid ravine
#

👀

vale swan
#

thats a nice ass keyboard

fluid ravine
#

If you were to recommend me keycaps, what would you recommend

vale swan
#

honestly

#

those gpbt caps you have are very thick and will be the deepest i think

#

but idk every pbt blend sounds different

#

pbtfans's abs stuff is much deeper than gmk abs for example

#

it depends what you want

fluid ravine
#

What about aesthetics ⭐

vale swan
#

thats on u

#

and thats where the biggest problem is

#

i need to buy all GMK keycaps otherwise i will never be satisfied

fluid ravine
#

So you not gunna recommend anything? 😂
I dont have a good eye for aesthetics on board, im trying to see what kind of keycaps you would recommend that goes with my case

#

Not like im actually gonna buy a new set any time soon

vale swan
#

is ur shit black gray or white?

#

i forgot

vale swan
#

i think you should also be financially responsible unlike me

#

and GMK will also make your build higher pitched

fluid ravine
#

all three of those

vale swan
#

the case and kinda the setup

fluid ravine
#

case is gray

vale swan
#

i mean kinda everything works with gray

#

is it a very dark gray

fluid ravine
#

uh ye

#

wait

vale swan
#

if you want something simple you can never go wrong with WOB

#

you already have a pretty wild keycap set

#

glorious cant do keycaps for shit though

fluid ravine
#

Real

vale swan
#

their gradients are shit

fluid ravine
vale swan
#

yeah

fluid ravine
#

Hate the legends

#

ermmm

vale swan
#

i wish alexotos would make aether again

fluid ravine
#

oo

vale swan
fluid ravine
#

oh shi

#

seen that b4 👀

vale swan
#

yeah

#

i think he said he wont run them anymore

#

but these looked sick

fluid ravine
#

why

vale swan
#

boredom and he had some manufacturing issues with them

#

not sure how recent this was

#

I watch a lot of his videos

#

but he did it say atleast within the last year or so

fluid ravine
#

This gray

vale swan
#

wait

#

even that tofu clone has not very sharp corners

#

what the fuck did kbdfans think

fluid ravine
vale swan
# fluid ravine

also I dare you to use tray mount with steel plate and no foam

fluid ravine
#

Literally tho

vale swan
#

screwed in with 6 screws too

vale swan
fluid ravine
#

I don't got anything other to do other than watch netflix

vale swan
#

if you want to torture yourself

fluid ravine
#

Sure

vale swan
#

didnt you have problems with the stabs?

#

💀

#

I'd just leave that bitch be

#

thats a nice gray tho

fluid ravine
#

Yep

vale swan
#

dracula would go kinda hard

fluid ravine
#

Pass it over....

#

Jk

#

(͡°͜ʖ͡°)

vale swan
#

well I would

#

but you also have to pass over 110 bucks

fluid ravine
#

u right

vale swan
#

there are white ks20u's on ali right now that are 25 eur cheaper than the normal orange ones btw

#

if you want to lube another set of switches

fluid ravine
#

drop the link

vale swan
#

these are 20U you can tell by the stem

fluid ravine
#

hollup

vale swan
#

these are harvested from some sort of prebuilt i think

fluid ravine
#

i didnt know abt this

#

hmmm

vale swan
#

ye

#

these are nice if you want something quiet

#

i feel like I should give these a try

fluid ravine
#

41 bucks

vale swan
#

for 70?

#

thats pretty damn good

#

the normal ones on ali express are 60 for 70

#

tho this store has shipping costs

#

gateron's does not

split dagger
#

I bought new switches 😊

vale swan
