Well unless you don't like heavy tactile experience 
Lolz
valid
Tactile is so awful 😭😭
Gateron Milky Yellow Pro's are one of my fav budget switches
Milky Yellows were my first switch ever and I still use them to test out some boards 🙂
Adding KTT Roses and anything HMX to that
Protagonist videos out
Yeah, the copper/pc/copper looks sick.
what does 8k polling do for the new 80he coming out?
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 
But alas, I refuse the form factor.
FWIW 
Really hoping for Mouz W but really think Spirit is too determined to win this one. And highly talented.
based
Yessir
Why is the 60HE saying RAAKA and not wooting? Anmd what are the ARM and AVR models?
Rakka's PCB is also called the 60HE and AVR is the early early of the Wooting 60HE
Is the ARM the current model?
Yes
Good to know, ty
yeah with rappy snappy and 8k wooting prob back on top
hope 1k and rappy snappy stays on top also tho 
I will only be happy when all devices are sub 1ms latency
Ill only be happy when there is no latency
I actually want the devices to input before I even know I want to
Nice. Good call.
@pastel vigil in your gummy o-ring board are you using a tofu redux case also?
no but I dont see why it wouldnt work
ohh okay i was gonna ask if removed the middle standoffs. which case are you using?
You have to remove the middle standoffs
The wooting PCB doesnt use those
I use the freebird60 and the alumaze
oh okay got it
will the non-removable standoffs cause any issues?
you mean the ones on the sides? They shouldnt
yeah the standoffs near the Tab and the |-key i guess
does anyone know what screw driver is used for tx ap screw in stabilizers
Do yall recommend to film jades switches or nah?
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.
That picture is from here https://eyejokerdb.com/모니터 an Independent third party Korean tech streamer considered to have some of the best methods for testing
a lot of those are not even relevant, like osu kbs or too big etc
Doesn't make them not relevant, just means not relevant to you
Rakka 60HE is also optical for example, not as precise and probably no rapid trigger, but otherwise pretty nice.
Rakke 60HE is HE just like it says and does have rapid trigger. It has a faster MCU and the results show that. It will likely be surpassed by the 80HE but smaller boards are inherently faster than larger boards (less sensors to poll/scan)
ok was on wrong page, hard to find that new one
called Holy60 for some reason
What graphs like this dont show is software maturity, firmware maturity, features and support. All of which Wooting sits at #1 in every category.
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
Yea
Because ISO sucks

That's a strong word. Let's just go with inferior (kidding aside, I don't mind ISO personally)

when you wake up late for work and realize your friend charged one of your cards $300 for his dentist bill
Said no one ever
But that’s how my morning started lol
thats... odd
Woopises?
Did he pay you back? 
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
Ahh so it all just a simple mistake that caused that to happen 😂
Yeah he just needs to remove my card off his account

Yeah that is definitely something I have never heard before
Lmao yeah I knew it’d sound random af
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.
Does anyone know if DCX keycaps interfere with north facing Lekker Switches?
the wooting build finally done
Vitality just busted the first part of our bracket
Thank goodness cause I just ordered some (https://drop.com/buy/drop-boba-types-dcd-lunar-new-year-keycap-set?defaultSelectionIds=984428 they hella sexy imo) and I don’t wanna miss out on flashy RGB 
Oh yeah those are real nice
Cute little red panda, lovely build 
Those are going to hide the Cheeto dust really well

Lmfao I don’t eat Cheeto’s at my desk anyways but you‘re right
I went with their latte set, it’s real nice
I was stuck between those https://osume.com/products/year-of-the-dragon-keycaps and the ones from drop
Heres how the drop set looks on my twoHE, no novelties so i improvised my profile buttons 
Looks nice especially with that mouse pad
Yep yep, kinetic labs coffee shop mat is so nice
I got a boring GSR SE😅

Wonder why they didn't do hi profile no the tw ohe like the 60he
nah, switch filming HE switches in general is a no
yes
ooo, would love to see the final product. I'm trying to get one of my friends to make one for me but we are both undecided on what it should look like wnad what material to use haha
That’s wild
Really did not expect that
Felt like they were playing like poop early stages NGL
beauty of the playoffs
Anything can happen
This next match really makes or breaks it lol
When Zywoo is on, they are money. I normally never bet against him but I did this time and regret it
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
Hmmm... Alright, I'll get my hands on them then, thanks.
😅
Does tofu 60 case work with this
Original Tofu 60 and Tofu 60 Redux
I bet you were really nervous haha
Got the case now I need some keys any suggestions ?
Which color?
White
Then any color you like. Whats your budget and location?
70 cali
Try NovelKeys or CannonKeys
Can't believe I ended up going back to the default case after everything

Hopefully the paint job makes it sound less thin as a side effect
Had to prime the mfer 3 times

Not the sound itself more the case being not as thick as other cases
Idk how to explain it
Like when you type you can hear its not a big chonk case
Not as resonant but also more hollow
Yea hollow is probably a better word
Same
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 🙂
Lots have. Check here https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1070668460905988106
question; is there any type of film or paint i could do to put under my keycaps to reflect rgb?
Need more information
Like a holographic film?
You'd have to do that yourself
where can you buy replacement springs for HE switches?
On wooting site
is there anywhere else?
Not that I know of
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
Aliexpress
just search wooting springs
Wooting doesn't currently have springs on their website but its soon tm
A bit but I personally don't like it
ive never heard of this before haha
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
I used 1 layer of paper tape on the back of my pcb and its much better
can you link which one you use?
yes
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.
how did you build your board?
where did you get it ? (your cable)
Got mine too yesterday. Indeed, sound way better than the original. Play fine too 🙂
ok thx
anyone tried switching out the keycaps to ceramic and the springs in the switches to heavier ones?
just install switches without transparent bottoms/top (i.e. Raptor HE)
What are the best mods to make wooring 60he my endgame keyboard
hey guys just got the raptors. I've noticed pulling keycaps off the raptors takes way more force than lekkers. is this normal or did i do something wrong?
L60s work fine with Cerakeys. Recently swapped to KS-20u and those work fine too. The feel will be lighter compared to a plastic keycap due to the weight of the ceramic keys
hmm, I was considering switching to ~70g springs. Also what are the "best" (in quality, tolerance etc.) hall effect switches that are compatible with wooting? is L60 the best in the market right now or did you switch to KS-20u because of sound/feel?
Thats fine
All mods are subjective to personal preference, and there is no endgame really, but you can also make that decision for yourself
#🪛│modding_faq is a good place to start though if you’ve never modded before
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.
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.
I do type literally all day long and game at night. is the typing feeling better than raptors would you know?
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
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
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
Awesome thanks!
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?
doesnt do anything
What keycaps do y'all think I should go with? I plan on getting the awekeys copper ones when they release but if you guys have any better ideas let me know
lol I need mouz to win just so I can get one right 😅
GMK Copper
Where are they on sale?
typing all day long get a MX board and not use HE for that
HE for gaming, mx for da typing
Aliexpress multiple places.. shipping is to netherlands though. not sure if that makes a difference
how so?
Better mounting styles leading to more comfortable typing experience
unless you like a stiff typing experience instead all day then HE great for that
Is there like an article or video on all the mounting styles
i just know of screw in, gasket and gummy o ring
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
Which styles lead to the best overall/comfertable typing experience
Plateless, or some forms of gaskets are the softest
plateless is wild
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
plateless salvation
Yeah it’s decent
way too much for me though
the salvation with just 2 screws in and a normal pcb feels good enough for me
I wouldn't go for more
Wow I just got my salavation put together. Its way better than I expected
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
I always wanted one but missed the first round forever ago
Glad I was monitoring this chat lol
Too flexy can be problematic for me. Makes my typing worse. A good middle ground is what I usually look for
I bought one for my 60he and then it was too good with my Mx build so that’s how it’s used now 
I managed to get the white one but my keycaps don't really match imo so need to buy new ones
yeah
the 60he with the jades and fr4 plate in the salvation is enough for me
What style do you usually go for ? or is it based on multiple factors, switches/springs/mounting style?
I might try the frog mini in the future too
I agree. I don't like it mushy, but I like a tiny bit of give. Completely stiff typing experience just doesn't feel right.
its based on a lot of things
what I can tell you for sure is to avoid normal tray mount
Was best experience so far but if it was black would be still using it
the aussie guy that has custom he plates and the frog also has silver
and i dislike silver
white with gmk dracula already looks sus
Hypekeyboards in Toronto has plates too
Still probs cheaper than Aussie land
You think?
I prefer a stiffer experience to a bouncier one but I'm not a great typist and I prfer the consistency of stiffer boards. That being said, if there is a little flex it helps with fatique by the end of the day or long gaming sessions
Based on one of his reviews yeah
Good, cuz I got pretty fucked with the salvation
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006246144052.html Tofu redux clone?
VAT got my ass badly
Oh rip
I came from an o ring tofu redux
One perk about being America
I didn't dislike the sound
but the feel was stiff as fuck
I type a lot on this thing
Indeed
i tried the redux again and it feels like I'm typing on cement
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
All sounded meh so now it’s just friction mounted in a freebird60
og lubed L60, lubed 45 and lubed jades
Did you guys notice a big difference from going from redux -> salvation?
In the salvation with 1 layer of tape it sounds as good as I could get it for an HE imo
feel wise yes
\\\
sound wise debatable compared to O ring
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
But I got it for $140 so life is good 
Yeah
I wanna try some HMX stuff because I saw the factory lube is pretty good and they sound good
Why is Salvation and Fjell so expensive compared to other cases that seem like they have the same material and everything?
Design, smaller amount of units, brass weights, materials used, etc
it's nice not to risk cutting your finger when you touch the edge of your keyboard
Still seems like a pretty steep difference, like 2/3x that of a tofu with brass weight
thats a tofu redux problem
lmao really
So happy with my freebird60
Got it for like $50 from fb marketplace, guy never used it.
it is steep yes but if you dont o ring the tofu it is terrible sound wise
by comparison
with the salvation
The macchiatos are primo
I always o ring, idk why it just feels too good
well i had a lot of problems with o ring because of the stabs
I wanna buy GMK frost with first
graveshift small o rings work with 60he screw in strabs
think it'd go nicely with the white salvation
Yeah ik, the issue is TX stabs with the pc plate just didnt work
stabs would bow on the sides and sound like shit
wiht the kbdfans cf plate it worked much better
yeah tx stabs kind of hit or miss with ther wooting
If i got cherry clip ins it'd work beautifully
Cherry clip ins never lost
Wanted to get some but the shipping to o ring price ratio is insane
Can probably find some online with the OD and ID
yeah for sure but I'm lazy af
Indeed
it just gets to u in 2 weeks
and thats that
They stocked the KS20Us too on gat's official store there
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
I tried putting foam again but I hate it ngl in both the redux and the salvation
I can't do foamy builds anymore
Yeah it’s just this one build for me for like 30 mins 
I am a high pitched connoisseur
I also want a louder keyboard which is why i think the KS20U is inferior to the Jades
tysm
I rock Jades and they’re the best so far
yeah
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
we need more HE switches with closed bottoms
Kinda crazy jade is the only one
Dracula for me is a good set
exactly
i loved it on black
but man on white its kinda hit and miss
yeah it doesnt match anything but looks goated on black and purple
on white idk
a bit of a shame because I bought these recently
I imagine it would look good on a grey board too
frost witch seems cheaper by like 10 eur than dracula funnily enough
found the reason to get it!
no bro don't say this
I have been too deep into this
It's too late for you now
I only got into this like a month or two ago
I wanted the 80HE too but tbh I feel like it will sound too muted with that silicone thing in it
and I already have 3 GMK sets
yeah
Been eyeing GMk purple nights lately
oblotzky has a ton in stock
but then I would need a desk mat to match as well
and i already have 31 desk mats

i dont even use a pad for my mouse anymore
even when gaming??
p wild ngl
Blehhh, Waiting for paint to dry is such a painnnn
what type of desk do you have
its an ikea desk
i tried the no mouse pad game and couldn't ever find a desk top that worked well enough
1 day to fully dry 3 days to cure

well i have 3 mousepads i just feel like I don't like the look on my desk with them
2 artisans and a very old glorious helios hardpad
that's fair enough
I used wood polish on the surface that gets moused over
its much smoother that way
the feet of the mouse will be destroyed quicker this way but they already are and I already want another mouse anyway
Hello
and tenturo
I only just woke up
yeah abt that
like an hour ago
same here...
@median spade speaking of black cases, look at the patina on the black of my Iron160
I really want the grey on black set, but it feels insane to pay that much for them. But then again, I bought redacted, so who am I to say.
guess how long i slept this time
10 hours?
13 hours
bingo!
Feel like you would enjoy my daily drivers:
yeah I probably would
yoooo
I like higher pitched keyboards
Dat looks so nice
fr
one of these days I need to get myself a unikorn and try a cherry mx switch properly modded
but not easy to do
how much did you get for it
$1100
wo
didn't even want to sell it
w
I had black and traded for pink
then hated the pink a month later and coul dnever get black one back
so sold it as didn't want to ruin the ano with cerakote as was very nice
i feel like black is perfect because it goes so many keycap sets
but here I am still unikornless 3 years later 
i feel like almost every GMK color works on black
the old ones would call this a bait n switch
nah im jk i played too much horizon forbidden west recently
My Julie board is like unikorn but drier so it solved the itch
and im not paying $1200 for a unikorn
horizon fw is great
ive been laying it too and the wait was worth it
then we have ghost of tsuhima soon too
i played both
Horizon on ps5 and pc and tsushima just on ps5
idk if i'll play tsushima on pc tho
it already does native 4k60 on the ps5
horizon didnt and it was a blurry mess on ps5 and controller sucks for bow and arrow
600-700 would be more comfortable to me
Me too, and I thought when R2.1 lauched back then it would help the market
Little did I know how wrong I would be

I never looked into this
how do you even get these things
is it a normal group buy or what
I was like r1 and r1.1 are dropping to $800 they'll go lower for sure with drop of new one
then one guy listed his r2.1 at $1700 and rest was history
i bet it sold quickly cuz of fomo
she does drops of unikorn through
singka.kbd
It sold out in 30 seconds
yeah i need to check it out but the salvation is pretty fucking nice
I should have got one but she changed payment processor and my card denied it as she's out of malaysia
even after I had did all the settings to make sure it wouldn't
yeah I have that problem a lot with cards getting denied
usually another browser fixes it
idk how and why
Chome and Safari work the best
I could really do with some recommendation for keycaps - nordic 60% layout preferably, or simply some nice small keycap pack with spacebar
Hey everyone! I got a question. 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
You can get a kalam unikorn for $400 or less
also true
as soon as you said nordic I was thinking of GMK Norse
I'll check it out
its really expensive though
From Omnitype?
i dont think oblotzky has it
omnitype has more GMK sets iirc
NovelKeys also has some
I'm super clueless about keycaps, is GMK a specific style/type of keycap or?
it's a brand
Cuz I see OTC, SA and GMK here
Ah okay thx
usually cherry ABS double shot, with usually better quality
its probably the best ABS keycaps
I personally dislike PBT and especially how pbtfans spacebars sound
also when the gmk abs shines it feels better to my hands
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
yeah
and pbtfans stuff not bad either
Good ABS > Good PBT > Bad PBT > Bad ABS
everything else abs usually bad lol
its not bad no
Imo
yes
Drop DCX also has pretty decent ABS
pbtfans from what i've seen has more abs than pbt now which is LOL
maskes sense. Don't know why but somehow it does xD
I'll have to try them
absfans
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
ever since I got into keycaps I saw many evangelion clones, but didn't have ISO. Maybe GMK has somethingalong those lines
spacebars are honestly the only reason i ever dislike pbt
really like the purple and toxic green look
not to hate or anything but I fucking despise ISO enters
they sound so muted and are heavy so dont' return as well
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
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
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
foam
taychon mode freaks out with shitty coiled cables. Wooting one is guranteed to work
they have issues with tachyon iirc, the ones from wootings store dont have any issues
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
Having a hard time making a choice haha
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
I am not a financial adviser but the only way you'll ever be happy is if you buy all of them
I'll use the standard cable then
The straight cable that comes with the wooting is fine
its fine but ugly as shit
performance > looks I guess xD
I agree, even though the yellow fits my aesthetic/desk/setup, I hate it.
ahahah
it did mine too but now it was themed with other colors and yellow really stands out in a wrong way
i have a white case with gray and purple keycaps and a wood desk
but it's whatever
it doesnt fit anywhere
rip
Having trouble finding nordic layout ABS gmk keycaps, that ship to Denmark. Maxgaming seems to mostly have PBT
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
Roger, thanks!
KBDfans spring sale soon, what to expect?
expect to spend a lot of money
I was tempted with a tofu case but its lighter to just carry a knife around
I wouldnt buy from them directly anyways due to the imprt fees and shit
do their aliexpress store
You don't have to pay import fees from aliexpress?
Sometimes I believe
i ordered twice from them
never paid anything
Are there sites for custom made keycaps? I don't mind a higher price
one of em even had free shipping
Just wondering if there exists a website for that sort
Does anyone know why they have both black and clear silicone pads for the wooting PCB?
etsy probably has tons
They don't.
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
black poron foam or clear silicon.
Unless you mean the PC plate, but that's white and black.
I mean the stick on "orings"
I got clear ones with my module and black ones that came with my alumaze
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
Yup I have no clue why they came like that. Makes no difference though was just wondering.
I found the white ones, does anyone know where they came from yet? I can't find any information about them, maybe someone already bought them? Take a good look at the photo. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/1005006625836872.html
Am not sure what you are asking?
What is the question?
They're legit
They're just softer lekkers
Consider them Lekker 30s instead of 45s or 60s.
Tip ! This switch is only compatible with keyboard fit lekker switch-Wooting. • Type: Linear • Operation Force:30gf • Total travel: 4.1±0.2mm• Initial magnetic flux: 102Gs• Bottom-out magnetic flux: 905Gs• Action travel: Freely setting • Spring: 15mm • LED Support:SMD • Pre-lubed: Yes • Lifetime: 100 million
Been a thing forever
this is not the same
you can tell by the stem
yes
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
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
Have you tried lubing the left side?
lube stab and the lekker switch never gave me a consistent spacebar
but that is way too different
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
How much does it cost lol

I got that
Little diff
you might need to balance your stabilizer wire
Tips on stabilizer balancing
Im rebuilding my module tomorrow morning
Open to some pointers from everyone
My right stab has some thock
Left has rattle
On spacebar, left shift and right shift
How much difference do stab films make difference by any chance
Damn only if they had XDA sized ones 😔
I dont use cherry sadly
@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
Bruh
The cardboard box took out half my paintjob

Looks like the paint took longer to dry then I expected

I hate humidity
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
theres maybe like 3mm of wiggle room on mine
Honestly wait I think I can do this

we believe in you
2 layers of clear coat and then sand down the extra drip from trying to fill the holes
Repeat

once you screw it in literally none
lemme know if you need help its not as simple as putting it in the stock case
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
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?
then legit gummy o ring mount it
A 30A O-Ring should be fine
i unglued the top layer of foam and jsut used one layer and it fit great @balmy flame
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
I didn't put heavy coats
Its just I have to wait for it to cure

you dont wanna screw it at all?
you have to screw in atleast where the USB port it or it wont line up
2 primer coats and then 3 paint coatings and now 2 clear coats

with the redux you need to screw in the one closest to the port
idk why you want your board wigglying around like that
Its really fucking humid recently so the paint isn't drying at all
I waited 3 hours and it wasn't dried fully so I have to fix a coat now
maybe burger mount it so there isnt tons of wiggle?

i use over racks when i paint
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
no hotpoints
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
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
I should do that 
Not really no
they dont feel different but they will sound better if you are unlucky with your plate mounts
Honestly if you get good plate mounted its basically the same
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
The rattle is the big issue
would an acrylic tofu60 be any upgrade in sound from the stock case due to the density?
Jades still rattle on my side
$89 after shipping 🤔
Eh probably but not really
hm
I just painted my default case, I'll let you know if it fixes the mass issue
im wondering what to do for sound honestly aside from tape mod
Geon franksteins don't rattle at all for me
Gummy O-ring is my favorite
im too lazy to sit there and lube each switch individually
might not even burger mount either
takes some time to break in
Yes thats what I meant
The Jades themselves still rattle a bit
nowhere near as bad as lekker but still do
had mine for 3 months and they are handlubed
is it even possible to make a 60he sound premium atm or should i just wait until more options release
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
My best attempt
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
Yea I don't really think you can really get more thocker than this unless you tape mod which I didn't like
you can do tape mod and stick some pe foam in that bitch if thats the case
sounds good enough to me
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
im not that much of a stickler for sound, just prefer that rain on rocks esque sound
Also I'm not a fan of foaming
i honestly dont mind how the L45s sound aside from the rattle
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
Default case is actually the best sounding after all my case rolling
Less rattle and more thock
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
I modded the Wooting 60HE to sound and look better! The video gets more scuffed as it goes on 😭.

this is the best sounding wooting ive seen so far
sound test at 13:45
Honestly I just need a thicker plastic case
oh shi this sounds prettys similar to mine
have u tried tofu60 acrylic?
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
Haven't, it wouldn't match my color theme so I didn't try but on second thought I could probably paint it...
Ah wait fuck I'm out of primer and paint
If two springs are the same force, but one is longer, would the longer one feel heavier?
no wait, it would feel lighter?
The actuation force would feel lighter but the bottom out would feel heavier
That's perfect
I bet you are happy about it
we say no to thock
not really
👍
im having mix opinions about it
good
lol
if you were happy about it that'd be too easy
it was never easy....
Me after plate swapping my keyboard 5 times in 2 days
lmfaooo
what plate do u think i ended on
prob cf
pc
damn
im in the salvation
oh
Honestly we ball with default case
for tofu it'd be 100% CF
yeye
the stock case is good
agreed^
the steel plate in it is also fine
Aluminum isn't it ngl
tbe problem is the switches
it really isnt
if you put jades or 20U's in it it'd sound much better than any $700 L60 wooting
Tofu 60 redux acrylic is probably the only case I'd go for minus the frog mini
But you'd be paying another 250 for that
i like aluminum with brass weights
i paid 400 for my salvation whats another 250 for this
the aussie retailer is the only place I can find a new frog mini
and its only in silver
thats why I went salvation

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

Finding excuse to buy need keycaps?
real
something i cant do

well i can't either
I wanted to get something else
with those 200 eur
I guess GMK gets them again
see....
i heard you need to polyfill the keycaps
wtf
🤙
idk
cus im over here finding upgrading things for myself and buying a volleyball
I mainly need a new desk
and keycaps
i saw alexotos put striker on my exact salvation and it looks kinda fire @fluid ravine still might buy frost witch tho
Does look good yeah, would still agree to what ur saying tho
strikerss
👀
thats a nice ass keyboard
If you were to recommend me keycaps, what would you recommend
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
What about aesthetics ⭐
thats on u
and thats where the biggest problem is
i need to buy all GMK keycaps otherwise i will never be satisfied
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
well idk,
i think you should also be financially responsible unlike me
and GMK will also make your build higher pitched
the case and kinda the setup
Setup is black, gray, and white
case is gray
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
Real
their gradients are shit
Really do stands out the most out of my setup 😂
yeah
i wish alexotos would make aether again
oo
these
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
wait
even that tofu clone has not very sharp corners
what the fuck did kbdfans think

also I dare you to use tray mount with steel plate and no foam
screwed in with 6 screws too
...
Should I rn?
I don't got anything other to do other than watch netflix
if you want to torture yourself
Sure
didnt you have problems with the stabs?
💀
I'd just leave that bitch be
thats a nice gray tho
dracula would go kinda hard
u right
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
drop the link
these are harvested from some sort of prebuilt i think
ye
these are nice if you want something quiet
i feel like I should give these a try
41 bucks
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
I bought new switches 😊
Idk nothing about keyboard modding so idk
oh shi this the real deal
