[vale swan]

prob the wrong switch if you wanted a good stock switch

[fluid ravine]

YMDK store

alr

[vale swan]

ye

[split dagger]

I buy and I play

[fluid ravine]

i wont consider cus well i CANT

[vale swan]

idk what you'd see from properly modded lekkers to these btw

[fluid ravine]

but damn

thats pretty fkin cheap

[vale swan]

the dual rail shit probably doesnt do too much

i dont see how you'd lube the rails on these which is good 1 less thing to lube

[fluid ravine]

got the steel plate whipped out

[vale swan]

wait you are actually doing it?

I was joking bruh

[fluid ravine]

yeah im bored as shit

[vale swan]

😭

[split dagger]

I saw people use the raptors and stem swap it with the L60 and kinda wanna but like I said I have no idea how to mod keyboards

[vale swan]

well if you want a good stock switch those aren't it

[fluid ravine]

ok now i htink abt it

i dont wanna swap plate

[vale swan]

those white KS20Us I linked are much better stock

[fluid ravine]

ima just do configs

like plate foam

and mount

[vale swan]

I never really used plate foam with gummy o ring

the kbdfans pe switch pad sure

[fluid ravine]

i dont use plate faom anymore

its been a few months now

[vale swan]

yeah i dont either

even on tray mount i didnt

case foam sure

especially in the bellmaze

[fluid ravine]

havent really tried silicone

like i did for recording

[vale swan]

its very silent but is also higher pitched than foam

[fluid ravine]

but only in it for 2 mins

[vale swan]

i got a nice spacebar out of it

[fluid ravine]

alr

ima start

lol

[vale swan]

hopefully your stabs wont fuck up again

because troubleshooting stabs is the worst thing possible

and with plate mounts if you did holee mod lube and wire balance and its still fucked you are kinda fucked

[prime orbit]

Magnetic jade switches the best ones currently?

[vale swan]

best for high pitched yes

[prime orbit]

what about for just strraight gaming performance?

im new to modding so bear with the questions lmao

[vale swan]

all are the same besides the jades bottoming out earlier

so it feels differently

[fluid ravine]

Silicone, tray mount, wooting foam

[vale swan]

lets see

[fluid ravine]

Polyfill made it hollow

So I changed the foam

[prime orbit]

Ah ok gotcha

[vale swan]

thats not bad for a tray mount wooting

[fluid ravine]

Agreed

[vale swan]

it still sounds a bit hollow in certain areas tho

[polar girder]

You ditched polyfill?

[vale swan]

for that config yes

[fluid ravine]

Yeah

For now

Just for fun

It was really hollow tho

[polar girder]

Yeah I Hve to play around with it more

[fluid ravine]

Idk why

[polar girder]

Need to put in plate foam

Maybe swap case foam/fill idk

[fluid ravine]

Ima do poron now

[polar girder]

Nice

No plate foam sounds solid. But I want more muted sound

[lost badge]

do u guys have pom with polyfill

[polar girder]

Pom what

[lost badge]

i like pc plate better

pom plate

[vale swan]

this would be much nicer if you had a brass weight in that case

[polar girder]

I only have PC plate

[vale swan]

i have 2 PC 1 FR4 and 1 CF

[fluid ravine]

How so

[vale swan]

sound fuller

[fluid ravine]

(▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)ᴵ ˢᵉᵉ

[vale swan]

no deskpad enjoyer tho nice

[fluid ravine]

Mhm

Poron

[pastel vigil]

just preference really

[prime orbit]

someone told me the jades so i just wanted to make sure

im more of a you tell me i buy

cuz idk anything about keyboards LMAO

[pastel vigil]

Probably whatever you use will be fine then.

It's only when you start using other stuff that you start to develop preferences and then certain things become unusable lmao

I hate how the jades sound but they feel incredible because they have a closed bottom housing so when i bottom out it actually feels like it which is useful sensory feedback imo

[vale swan]

rip

[pastel vigil]

with lekkers am pushing into another dimension thinking I haven't hit the bottom yet

[fluid ravine]

poron gummy mount, i regret doing this.....

[vale swan]

the camera fucks ur fingers

[prime orbit]

so good thing i care about sound 0%

doesnt affect me i just go for straight performance

[pastel vigil]

Same

Like if I can make it sound better I will, but I won't compromise on feel or performance.

[prime orbit]

So jades

bet

what about a pcb plate

needed or no?

i see the carbon fiber one everywhere

[pastel vigil]

the module comes with a PC plate which is pretty good

[prime orbit]

bet

[vale swan]

did u fix this ?

[pastel vigil]

honestly it sounds great to me, whats the issue?

[vale swan]

the backspace sticking

[pastel vigil]

rip

[fluid ravine]

nah it doesnt matter

i went back tomy normal config

The reason why it was stuck due to the alignment issue like the tofu v1

it would be hitting this

[vale swan]

ah

[fluid ravine]

gummy mount prevented that gladly

but if any of my stabs are stuck or scratching the case

then that means i did my gummy mount incorrectly

or if i cant get it to bounce properly

[vale swan]

well thats a good way to know atleast ig

[woven mango]

Couple odd questions

Are there rgb diffusion layers made by any 3rd party company's for any wooting board?
And are there diffusion key caps aswell, preferably in the style of the smokey/ghost case

Not a huge fan of how key caps block most of the light from rgb

I'd pay double if the smokey keys would have been an option when buying my 80he

[weary tree]

rgb diffusion keycaps yes. smokey style no.

transparent black yes but doesnt difuse light

idk about the glorious keycaps quality and shine tho

[surreal tide]

Guys do u have a good website for keycaps ?

[glossy pagoda]

https://wooting.io/our-products?category=Keycaps

[weary tree]

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

[still wraith]

https://osume.com those are cute if you’re into that

[quiet bay]

I just got my wifi card
my game feels so much better now that I dont have any ping spikes 😌

[polar girder]

lol what did you learn?

[median spade]

now what if you go one step further... ethernet

[quiet bay]

maybe in the far far future when my father is remodeling our basement

[median spade]

pfffff just run 200ft cable from wherever the router is

[quiet bay]

nahh I want it nice and clean

no cables in sight!!

[median spade]

Fair enough, and that's how my setup is outside necessary cables

but ethernet gets the pass as it runs from one wall of my room to my pc lmao

[polar girder]

lol yeah I think once you plug Ethernet cable in you realize it’s worth the cost

Having that cable draped wherever is NBD for that sweet sweet Ethernet connection

[pastel vigil]

Which one is for filling and which one is for dispensing?

The stem is stuck because the tolerances are too tight, right? I guess this is why some of you took the lube off the lekker stem before using on raptor housing?

[hollow ibex]

Aliexpress

[spiral anvil]

Yep

You can only have the thinest layer or it'll feel sticky or get stuck

[rough trellis]

Anyone have recommendations for finding cool esc keycaps for XDA profile?

[wide kraken]

i've been down the XDA kitbashing rabbit hole before and it's all pain because there's like 3 or more slightly but noticably different XDA molds out there

might be better off getting a non-profile artisan cap or something

[stray tiger]

Just get an artisan for your ESC

[vale swan]

damn imagine if that bitch rattles if just lube makes the stem stuck

[cloud plaza]

Hello

I was wondering if it would be possible to take the PCB and keycaps from the wooting two HE and put it inside a different case (steelseries apex 7 case)

hehe

Honestly don't really like that steelseries keyboard itself, but love the case and keycaps, so was wondering if cooking that up would be possible lol

[noble flame]

Little leather strap prototype

[vale swan]

noooooo

[vale swan]

those are nice keycaps

[pastel vigil]

If you have the case just try it out?

[cloud plaza]

I mean I have the steelseries keyboard, don't have the wooting

was considering buying wooting but the case is kinda ugly lol

[brazen sparrow]

Love the leather strap! Are you using KBDfans simple base for the keycaps they look gorgeous.

[pastel vigil]

You can for sure reuse the keycaps, not sure about the case.

[noble flame]

Thanks! They were a bootleg dolch set by mintcaps from Amazon

https://a.co/d/f0aoBbR

[rough trellis]

Any recommendations on websites to find cool artisan esc keycaps?

[vale swan]

salvun

[pastel vigil]

These 70g 18m springs feel great, they also sound good, jades are finally not ear piercingly high pitched. Haven't even lubed them yet but I am optimistic.

I found some 22mm springs I'm gonna try next and then lube whichever set of springs I decide to use

[vale swan]

wait what

what did u get @pastel vigil

[pastel vigil]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006273053817.html This is what I got, i posted a pic of it a while ago.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006583637812.html ordered this to try next

[vale swan]

hmm sound less loud from a spring

i'd believe it with MX stuff

If you want less loud Jades I'd try a PC Plate

thats what i did in my salvation

[pastel vigil]

Am using a PC plate, its still too loud. Actually it's not the loudness that bothers me, it's just how high pitched it is.

First few taps is the stock jade, last few are the spring swapped jades.

Here’s the lekkers and raptors. Stock lekkers, spring swapped lekkers, stock raptors, spring swapped raptors.

[stray tiger]

Same row?

[pastel vigil]

Yep, D to K

To be specific, D is stock lekker, F is stock raptor, G is stock jade, H is spring swapped lekker, J is spring swapped raptor and K is spring swapped jades

My guess is that the spring being a different length is whats affecting the sound because it's adding more mass. When I get the 22mms Im curious to see how those sound.

I just happen to like long springs, I wasn't expecting it to affect the sound but it's a pleasant surprise.

[vale swan]

interesting

the jades are closed backs after all so will be much louder than the others

but still good to know

i did notice the bottom out of the jade is much harsher than the MX stuff

might pick up those cheap white KS20Us

[pastel vigil]

I have some orange duel rails coming in, Ill probably spring swap them and post an update

[vale swan]

i didnt notice the harsh bottom out on these jades until i got the salvation

[pastel vigil]

Lubing them really helps with that, but I haven't had the time and motivation to lube all of my jades yet.

[vale swan]

@stray tiger You do have the KS20U's right? They did mostly fix that HE rattle like the Jades?

[pastel vigil]

I'm gonna do it when I finally spring swap them all at some point

[vale swan]

mine are all handlubed

[pastel vigil]

rip

[vale swan]

the lube job is about 2 and a half months old

the lekkers also had the rattle come back after the same period

[stray tiger]

My jades don't really rattle either though

[vale swan]

ye mine dont really rattle

i mean against the lekkers

the jades improved a lot

just wanted to know if the ks20u also did

[stray tiger]

No issues with them either

[vale swan]

thats good

the problem i have with the lekkers is that the bottom out feels so mushy compared to these

[vivid jasper]

If you mean the stem wobble, yes. The ks-20U is the most stable and I'd say even better than the jade.

[vale swan]

good

might have to get me some of those

especially for how cheap the white ones are

[vivid jasper]

That's why I posted them here.

[vale swan]

👌

[pastel vigil]

They also look cooler than the oranges. But I have my biases.

[vale swan]

yeah especially on the white pc plate and white salvation

[latent fern]

since the jades compress springs less due to their shorter travel, wouldn’t that affect the labeled bottom out force on replacement springs?

[pastel vigil]

https://www.amazon.com/Gateron-Magnetic-Mechanical-Keyboard-Wooting/dp/B0CX1YRXV5?th=1

They are on amazon now lol

Allegedly 3.5mm travel instead of 4.1 on the oranges

[vivid jasper]

that sounds like a lie. they're no different than the orange ones and have an open bottom

and in case you haven't noticed, it's the same store.

[vale swan]

still seems cheaper on ali

[pastel vigil]

prob is

[vale swan]

that is impossible, the only reason the jades are 3.5 is because the back is closed

[spiral anvil]

What the fuck

Bro what is this paint made out of

I literally heat gunned and its still not drying???

I am sweating from the heat coming off the heat gun and the paint is literally warm to the touch

And it's still tacky

I'm going to bake it at this point

[stray tiger]

It might need a cool dry temp to cure. Warm might make it worse.

[foggy estuary]

does anyone know of any all around good switches for when i have my 80he. I know of the jades but im looking for other options.

[polar girder]

I mean there’s only like 5 options

Raptors, jades, 20u, l45 or l60

[foggy estuary]

what are the 20u

[polar girder]

Or some like cheap rando knock-offs

Dual rail

KS-20U

[foggy estuary]

which would say is the best?

[polar girder]

I wouldn’t

[spiral anvil]

It was the mix of primers

Apparently the replacement primer I got from the same brand was a bit different

So the spots with the new primer

[pastel vigil]

its all persobnal preference, either you care enough to get a few to try or you just happily stick with what comes with the wooting

Probably 80%+ of peolpe are just fine with the stock l60s

[foggy estuary]

ill probably be happy with either the l45 or l60

[shy tapir]

is burger mounting worth it for alumaze60

[pastel vigil]

highly personal, imo, no. I do a gummy o ring mount

[shy tapir]

U can do gummy o ring on the 60he+ module?

[vale swan]

it helps with the harsh bottom out a bit

my 60he spent 95% of its life in the redux burger mounted

[pastel vigil]

Yup

Graveshift Small - 30-50a

[vale swan]

buy cherry clip in stabs and a cannonkeys 60 o ring/graveshift m o ring or buy a graveshift s size o ring and use the normal stabs

[shy tapir]

Oh bet thank u guys

[vale swan]

the stock stabs are good once u lube them up like very good in fact so I'd probably get the s size one

[shy tapir]

Has anyone also tried putting kilmat in

[vale swan]

hippyo did

[pastel vigil]

Hipyo tech did lol

[vale swan]

if you use gummy o ring in the alumaze just use the stock foam

maybe do 1-2 layers of tape mod if you want it dampened further

[shy tapir]

Gotcha ty for the help 🫡🫡

Gonna build it tomorrow but my keycaps haven’t come in yet

Idk why it took 4 days for it to get from New York to Pennsylvania when it still needs to get to cali 🫤

[vale swan]

not sure with what courier your stuff arrives but DHL even DHL express in the EU has been a headache for me

[sturdy ridge]

Hey, I'm looking for a keyboard to help me not bottom out or bottom out so that there is less force on my fingers. I've seen tone of conflicting advice online. Does anyone know what switches/combo would help?

[pastel vigil]

You want softer switches?

Officially there's L45s

https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-ks-20-magnetic-white-switch-set?VariantsId=10680

This is even lighter at 30g

You can also just get 28g springs and swapping out the springs from your current switches https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006273053817.html

[marsh saffron]

Can you gummy oring mount the stock case?

[pastel vigil]

yes

but it needs finnessing

[marsh saffron]

What orings would I use for it?

[pastel vigil]

https://graveshift.com/products/graveshift-s-o-rings?variant=40304677617870

I use 40a

i hear most recommend 30a-50a, not sure what would happen if you went harder

[marsh saffron]

In what way does the hardness effect the sound

[pastel vigil]

I have no idea

[marsh saffron]

I'll see if I can find something on Google explaining the difference

[sturdy ridge]

Question is if the softer switches will help preventing bottoming out

[pastel vigil]

Why don't you want to bottom out?

[sturdy ridge]

I think it's giving me hand pain

[pastel vigil]

thats why i suggested lighter switches lol

[sturdy ridge]

it feels like when I type hard and bottom out more and harder it hurts more

but I don't think it's the fatigue, I think it's the impact on the bottom

or do you mean I will bottom out lighter on lighter switches?

[pastel vigil]

you can use heavier switches to make bottoming out take more effort, but that will just make you fatigue more than lighter switches that hit the bottom.

Ultimately it's all preference, but generally when people get fatigue they get lighter switches

[sturdy ridge]

OK, thx

would setting the actutation point really high in the wooting help?

[pastel vigil]

no because then it would need more force to actuate

[vale swan]

these people need to stop being hacked

[sturdy ridge]

wouldnt it require less?

like at 0.01?

[pastel vigil]

that would be lower, not high.

but yeah it would need less force

[sturdy ridge]

so thats what I meanb - low

[pastel vigil]

might be too soft though and make you prone to errors, you'll just have to trial and error your way to find what point works best for you

[pastel vigil]

fr lmao

[untold wigeon]

Any japanese key cap suggestions? Have a black wooting 60he (not +).

[vale swan]

you mean like this?

[untold wigeon]

Yeah

[vale swan]

those are sublegends so theres a lot from pbtfans and gmk

[untold wigeon]

cool thanks

[sturdy ridge]

I understand. Wooting comes with theirhigher force keys by default. Would it still feel light if I set the actuation force low?

[loud zephyr]

Do you have the PC plate, that helps a little bit to soften the typing

[vale swan]

i had that with the tofu when i typed fast believe it or not, if you want the softest config for this you can use the salvation with just 2 screws in and the pc plate

[woeful loom]

Can i use DUROCK V2 PCB Mount Screw Stabilisierer on my wooting 60he ?

[vale swan]

if its a 60he+ or module yes

[woeful loom]

I have the normal One 60he

[vale swan]

no

if you really want to switch stabs on the 60he look for durock plate mounts or tx ap plate mounts, but dont swap stabs if you have no issues

[woeful loom]

Thanks 👍

[latent fern]

i asked a friend and he said that a softer hardness like 30a would give you a softer typing feel but could lead to the board sounding more thin

[cursive wave]

thoughts on the Monsgeek M1W paired with the Everglide Aqua Kings?

im tryna build my first keyboard and have found that these are valid and somewhat known options in the keyboard space

[zinc glen]

Can the durock v2 screw ins work with the Wooting 60he+ plate? Will it be too tight?

[vale swan]

it will work

only TX AP and Staebies wont work iirc

i'm not sure why you'd buy durocks over the stock gateron stabs tho

unless you are not on the module and you mean the prebuilt

[zinc glen]

Nono still deciding on what stabs to buy

[zinc glen]

Yes im on the prebuilt

@vale swan any recommendations for screw in stabs?

[vale swan]

cherry screw ins/clip ins, durock v2s

[cursive wave]

Anyone???

[polar girder]

Nah

[spiral anvil]

Yea the case is cooked

[stray tiger]

This will probably have been the worst pick-em you'll ever have so that's the plus side lol

[polar girder]

Haha 📠

Only up from here

Rooting for Navi here tho

JL playing out of his mind

Whole team showing up nicely tho

[pastel vigil]

https://www.alohakb.com/en-ca/products/epbt-firearm-cherry-profile-keycaps-set-alohakb

Is Aloha reputeable? I think this set might look good in the black alumaze if it matches the accent color but I have never heard people talk about AlohaKB in good or bad lol

[stray tiger]

Don't know about Aloha but EPBT are typically good keycaps

[pastel vigil]

That's reassuring.

[spiral anvil]

Wait we're so back

The case is a bit scuffed but the paint is finally drying

[pastel vigil]

ay lets go

Am very curios on how it ends up sounding

I might do the same thing to my plastic case lol

[pastel vigil]

is this before or after?

[spiral anvil]

After

This was before

[spiral anvil]

^

[pastel vigil]

I hear the difference but I like the before better. I might just unironically rock the plastic case as is after going on a wild pursuit of improved sound for weeks.

[obsidian dagger]

test it first

[spiral anvil]

Same

The paint made it more high pitched

[pastel vigil]

Yeah that's exactly it, am trying make it lower pitched lmao

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

Check out how the longer 18mm springs changed the sound of the HE switches. I have some 22mm springs on the way, I think it will make them even more low pitched. I think the extra mass is what is doing it.

I also think longer springs feel great so it's a win win.

[spiral anvil]

Its a shame since I wanted a purple case

Tofu redux is probably my only choice for a clean purple case that won't kill my wallet

[pastel vigil]

I hear the corners on the tofu are sharp so it might kill you instead.

[spiral anvil]

It'll be fine

[polar girder]

Just ordered the M3K mod kit and Faze lost the CS2 major final

Today is a good day

[stray tiger]

I was cheering for Navi too. Not only do I not like Karrigan but I wanted Navi to win without S1mple

[untold wigeon]

what do you guys think is better for an acrylic tofu build, pom jelly, keysterine, or cerakeys (solely for sound)?

[pastel vigil]

Basically impossible to answer this questin.

So I suggest just getting whatever keycaps you think would look best.

[untold wigeon]

how so? im asking for your opinion

[pastel vigil]

I mean if you show me a bunch of sound samples I'd be happy to tell you what I personally think sounds best, but being able to predict what they sound like and make a recommendation to go with your specific case is incredibly difficult even if I had the exact same key caps. There's just too many factors at play to make a suggestion in earnest.

[untold wigeon]

oh no i was asking what you think looks the best lol

the cerakeys is just the lazy option for sound cause i dont feel like doing too much to make the board sound better

[pastel vigil]

Your question had "solely for sound" so you'll have to pardon my confusion.

[untold wigeon]

yeah i worded it poorly

[pastel vigil]

I think pom jelly would look neat with acrylic tofu.

Light diffusion galore

[untold wigeon]

i was thinking that too but wasnt too sure about not having legends

[pastel vigil]

I guess it depends on how often you reference them. I don't really check. You could creatively use the per key RGB colours as some sort of reference.

[untold wigeon]

alright i think ill go with poms then

ty :)

[pastel vigil]

You gotta post the final build!

[cursive wave]

S-k71 from womier a good budget keyboard?

[normal schooner]

@cursive wave get a wooting 2 he

[cursive wave]

is it good?

im ngl

ive seen videos calling it a "mid" keyboard

im not prioritizing gaming

just want somethuing that sounds and performs well

a good mix of the few

[bronze jackal]

You can do a lot better for the money if gaming isn't your priority

[fluid ravine]

you should get yourself like a normal MX board

and what nut says

[vale swan]

i'd rather get like a zoom98 if u dont care abt gaming over a 2 HE

[spiral anvil]

@bronze grove

We need clean up in Isle five

@normal schooner

@autumn creek Sorry don't know to ping for this

[pastel vigil]

It was posted in almost every channel fyi

#🔌│tech and #🎮│game

Thank you for your service

[prime orbit]

Anyone know where i can get japanese keycaps?

[mint oracle]

I should be getting GEON HE RAPTORS soon, I want to do the the mod using the Lekker stem and Raptor housing.

I have lekker 60s and 45s. The only videos of this mod has been with the L60s, has anyone done this with the L45 and Raptor yet and is it better to use the L60?

[pastel vigil]

it's the same

the only thing different about the 45s and 60s is the spring, the stem is just a different color but is the same stem.

[mint oracle]

Great to know to know, thank you @pastel vigil

[uncut oak]

Hey guys, I was wondering if this is just me but when I placed my gateron jades onto my wooting, I find them very hard to remove even when using a switch puller? I dont know if its just a skill issue or something

I am just worried cause I dented some of the plastic on a switch while trying to remove it priorly

[latent fern]

the lekker60’s fit pretty tight on my PC plate so you’re not alone. just gotta be careful

[minor pond]

do the 80he have any cases that will work with it ?

[hushed stirrup]

Did anyone upgrade from l45 to ks20u? Both say initial force 30gf but i know if it feels different from someone who owns both

[uncut oak]

Ok. I heard that they’re easier to remove if I separate the plate from everything else, so I might try that tomorrow since im tryna change the plate itself soon

[vivid jasper]

In fact, it is a bad mod. you need to carefully select the parts so that there is no excessive friction and sticking of the key. and it is not always possible to select them. use geons as they are. the best switches now are jade and ks-20U. i prefer 20U because they are the most stable.

[vale swan]

had same issue with my L45 and Jades

the Jades loosened up over time but the board has been rebuilt over 50 times with those

the L45s I only used once and I bent my FR4 plate trying to get them out

[turbid verge]

is there any way to mod the pcb 60 to support the dtb ? i dont want to limit my case options. 😢

[turbid verge]

its have a little tricky when use switch puller , you should pull from the top off the switch its will come out more easy than pull from the bottom like normal switch , but just be careful

[cedar gate]

Do you guys think the jades need switch film I'm debating whether or not they do

BTW u mean gatreon jades not box jades

Just figured out there's a difference

[turbid verge]

nah i dont think its need film , stock have unique sound too , but a little lube is fine

[vale swan]

no

[cedar gate]

Alr and since they are pre lubed do I have to lube them

[vale swan]

the best thing you can do these Jades is lube the spring and the stem

thats about it

[cedar gate]

Is it worth it tho

[vale swan]

only you can find that out

all switches come prelubed to some degree, but outside edge cases i do not trust pre lube

[cedar gate]

Hasn't factory lubing gotten pretty good

[turbid verge]

yes the sound is huge dif but the stock sound is good too , up to you bro

[vale swan]

not for these

HMX has good factory lube, thats a recent example

[vale swan]

wouldnt say its a huge difference but it eliminates the spring ping and makes them quieter in general

the stock jades are unreasonably loud

[polar girder]

the raptors are pretty thin or weak IMO

[long heron]

anything off of amazon should be a pretty good option

just check reviews first

[prime orbit]

Bet

[flat obsidian]

hey guys maybe someone can help me last sunday i did my first modding and bought a new case and tx ap mount stabs aswell as tape modding it + using gateron jades now. everything went well my lube job was imo really good for a first time and there is no issues using these stems with the lekker60 v1 (that came with the wooting) but when i put jades the key gets "stuck" (is really slowly moving back up). Did i miss something?

i am i using a 60he (not 60he+) @stray tiger

[stray tiger]

Which key gets stuck?

[flat obsidian]

the stab keys if i use the gateron jades. same stabs with lekkers v1 no problem. i use tx ap plate mount stabs

[stray tiger]

Swap the springs from your lekkers to your jades

The Jades springs arent as strong

[flat obsidian]

okay thx u.

[fervent barn]

Any recommended mods for the original release of the Wooting Two HE (100%, the full size one).

I would like to get more "thoccy" switches, but all the current HE switch options are kinda meh from what I hear.

Is there anything to gain from foaming or taping or anything else on the he fullsize?

[stray tiger]

You can buy any of the newer KS-20/U/T switches or wait on the Lekker V2's. The mods you suggested won't do much for thockiness but I do encourage experimenting and trying different things.

[velvet egret]

I ordered some jades for 34 euros 🥳. What a steal

[pastel vigil]

Where'd you find that deal? I got some on sale from ali express the other day, like $50 CAD for my 60.

I'm not decided on what springs I will end up landing on, but Jades are for sure my go to switch, they just feel too good. Long pole/closed bottom housing feels so solid.

[latent fern]

ohh okay idk that

[median spade]

He stole them and then left that as a tip

[pastel vigil]

lmao

[harsh dove]

Correct, switches are easier to remove if you separate the PCB from the Switch Plate via 8 screws holding them together, also advised to remove at least the stabilizer keycaps before separation, as it will be easier without those keycaps on.

[harsh dove]

IMO Switch Films don’t do much, if anything, for any HE switches

[cedar gate]

Awesome I don't have to put film in 70 switches

[uncut oak]

Also, do you guys know if it is possible in wootility to make it so that only specific keys have an rgb effect like trailing? I am trying to do it for a single keycap to have trailing whereas others don't (like caps lock cause I find it confusing). Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask about this kind of thing

[weary tree]

caps lock already automatically turns white when on

[uncut oak]

Yea thats why I’d wanna turn it off for that but keep the rest on trail

Just curious if the option exists

[weary tree]

your best bet is to use artemis rgb

[obsidian dagger]

you can change that color

[weary tree]

how

[obsidian dagger]

the little circle is the lock color

[weary tree]

wow didnt know

[latent fern]

can i use the poron plate foam with gummy o-ring? or will the plate foam get in the way?

[pastel vigil]

poron foam yes

silicone pad no

[latent fern]

@pastel vigil you have been such a great help! thank you very much

i just got my jades today and they are soooo nice

the gummy o-ring should be coming this week

[pastel vigil]

Ay thats what I do, Jade and Gummy mount

feels incredible

[latent fern]

i also got 62g 22mm springs for the jades

[pastel vigil]

bro you are incredibly based those are literally on the way lmao

I am using some 18mm 70g at the moment

[latent fern]

22mm 62g springs were my favs on non-HE switches so i assume they’d be great on the wooting

[pastel vigil]

The long springs give you finer control on the key, the extra mass also improves the sound of the switch

[latent fern]

i’m a heavy typer so the higher initial force is really important to me

but the stock jade springs actually aren’t too bad weight-wise

[pastel vigil]

same, the stock springs are on the softer side

[latent fern]

i thought they would be too soft cuz i’ve never had switches with a spring lighter that 60g

[pastel vigil]

I used this to test a few different options. #1196768306602983494 message

with 18mm springs I found 70g was the one I had most control over the switch's range

in my experience longer springs can feel heavier than shorter springs of the same force, so I ordered 22mm 62gs that I think will be just as good if not better.

[latent fern]

@pastel vigil are you using any case foams with your gummy o-ring board?

[pastel vigil]

yee

Nothing special, just the foam that came with it.

[latent fern]

oh okay cool

that’s what i’m rocking rn

[pastel vigil]

I tried with and without, def liked with better, felt and sounded better. Even if it's placebo, I'll take it lol

[latent fern]

more foam in your keyb means less foam in your room collecting dust haha

[ivory stratus]

would you mind posting the link you used to buy your springs?

[pastel vigil]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006583637812.html

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006273053817.html

[ivory stratus]

thank you much!

[latent fern]

do the jades use long springs too

?

[pastel vigil]

The springs on the jade are 20mm

30g

https://www.melgeek.com/products/melgeek-gateron-magnetic-jade According to this at least

I'll have to crack one open and measure to confirm

[harsh dove]

Just to clarify, that is initial/starting force, end force is 50g

[pastel vigil]

So would the springs in ali express be referencing initial force or end force btw?

I always assumed it's initial force

[harsh dove]

Iirc the AliExpress springs represent end force

[latent fern]

i feel like springs are based on Bottom force

[pastel vigil]

hmm

[harsh dove]

Basically jades are slightly heavier than L45s but lighter than Raptors by about 2g

Raptors bottom out is 52g

L45s is 45g

Force travel graph for Jades

Ends around 50

Starts at 30ish

[latent fern]

one thing to note is that since jades bottom out earlier

[harsh dove]

Correct

3.5mm

[latent fern]

that changes the bottom out force

[pastel vigil]

My box didn't come with that graph, that is so cool lol

[latent fern]

a L60 will give you 60g bottom force becuase it’s being compressed by 4mm

if you put the same spring in a jade

it won’t compress a full 4mm

[pastel vigil]

so it will feel softer?

[latent fern]

so the bottom out could like more like 58g

[pastel vigil]

That makes sense

[latent fern]

physics class coming in clutch haha

[pastel vigil]

That explains why I like stronger springs in my jades

compared to my lekkers

[harsh dove]

Yes, essentially less force is needed to bottom out

[latent fern]

so my assumption is that the 62g springs i’m getting will actually bottom out at like 60g

[harsh dove]

On Jades

Because of the reduced travel distance

[latent fern]

exactly

[pastel vigil]

iirc if two springs are the same force and one is longer, then the longer one will feel heavier. That's to say the jade bottoming out early making it softer and the 22mm spring being 2mm longer making it harder will cancel out and you will bottom out at 62g

i wish i had the tools to actually test the nitty gritty

[latent fern]

if you have a gram scale

you could stack coins on the switch until it bottoms out maybe???

with a flat enough keycap

i think that’s what MakerMods does on youtube

[pastel vigil]

I stopped selling weed a decade ago damn

[latent fern]

HAHAHA

[pastel vigil]

shoulda kept that scale lmfao

[latent fern]

once my 62g springs come in i’ll see if i can measure

FOR THE COMMUNITY!

my mom got a scale i think

[pastel vigil]

We gotta do it for science

[primal pollen]

Am I right in remembering there is a lekker 2.0 and a lekker "pro" coming out? Do we know anything about the "pro" version?

[latent fern]

okay ngl i actually kinda like the lighter springs in the jades so i cancelled my order

maybe ill revist the spring swap in the future

[stray tiger]

Pro is a name I made up to differentiate between Lekker v2's and whatever/if ever a new Lekker switch comes out (it was teased on stream a month ago but there is no more info other than that)

[primal pollen]

Thanks!

that looks stupid, but if it works it works

[fluid ravine]

Pochizo's friend: WHERE MY CLICKIESSS

[vale swan]

i saw some guy on reddit make clicky jades

[cedar gate]

He was wondering whether or not he could but he never stopped and thought if he should.😔

[vale swan]

tbh

call me crazy but

those sound nice

[fluid ravine]

tbh it was interesting

[vale swan]

put that bitch in a oring or a frog/salvation with a pc plate and its perfect

[fluid ravine]

i didnt hate it at all

[vale swan]

all it needs is a solenoid and a buzzer

[quiet bay]

Nah its crazy cause I made him a gmk67 with those clicky jade switches and then he said he wanted something clickier and somehow ended up wanting a razer huntsman mini with mx blues 💀

[vale swan]

i meant the HE jades

[quiet bay]

ahh ok I didnt even know u could make he jades clicky too wtf

how does that sound?

[vale swan]

like a clicky switch i guess

[quiet bay]

yee I wanna know what kinda pitch tho

[vale swan]

https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/comments/1bsvuhe/a_new_sound_profile_just_dropped_be_hold_wooting/

here

[quiet bay]

ok I like that click

Its very quiet and soothing

for a clicky switch

I would actually use that for typing

[vale swan]

NK has some linear clickies for MX keyboards iirc

could try that out

[harsh dove]

Wooting Wooting Wooting Wooting Wooting

[vale swan]

i have all of those besides the carrying case black pc plate and the cable

[brazen sparrow]

Two wootings???

Wow

[vale swan]

ye

well more like had I sold one

[harsh dove]

What’s funnier is I have 4 pc plates

[vale swan]

lmao

why 4

[harsh dove]

[vale swan]

What config of the 60he do you actually use right now

[harsh dove]

Uhh rn I’m maining my Salvation x KS20u cause I need to do some minor tweaks to my Tofu x Jades config

[vale swan]

I see

I use salvation 1 layer tape mod pc plate jades and GMK

im still not sure what plate is the best for the salvation

[harsh dove]

Salvarion lol I love autocorrect

[vale swan]

PC is the quietest but has a meh spacebar, FR4 has a good spacebar but has way louder alphas and CF is just loud af

[harsh dove]

Rn I’m using an FR4 plate which is pretty nice

And I think I either have POM or PC in the tofu

[vale swan]

in the tofu with the o ring i liked CF is the best tbh

tho keep in mind i dont use a deskpad

the salvation does sound nicer with a deskpad tho imo

I might pick up some KS20Us tbh

they are relatively cheap atleast the white ones

[quiet bay]

Never enough wooting huh

[vale swan]

I have 3 cases for it 😭

[velvet egret]

Anyone who lives in Netherlands have you had issues trying to pay douane kosten through ups? Keep getting error while paying error all data is required.

[pastel vigil]

Bro someone help me figure out these stabs ive been at it for too long 😭

Its funny that they are all mostly sound bad on the left side 💀

[vale swan]

what stabs are these

plate mount pcb mount or pcb clip ins

[pastel vigil]

Durock Screw Ins, which I put in because the prebuilt clip ins were terrible compared to the module’s screw ins on the other board

Ironically they sound just as bad 😂

[vale swan]

those sound like plate mounts lmao

like the unlubed ones

[pastel vigil]

I lubed it tf up

Housing stem and wire

[vale swan]

what did you use

[pastel vigil]

205 on the stem and housing

And then grease for the wire

Whatever alexotos recommended i forgot the name

I even used the syringe after install to add some more and it feels like am using them stock 🥲

[vale swan]

you sure they are flush with the pcb and shit?

also what switches are you using

[pastel vigil]

100%, I bandaid modded lol

[vale swan]

the bandaid mod that sits on the pcb under the stab? I hated that for my screw ins

[pastel vigil]

I am using Raptors, actually happy with the sound of this board outside of the stabs. Sound isn't entirely accurate on recording because it's on my kitchen counter instead of on my desk lol

[vale swan]

this might sound crazy but use the spacebar as an example, take out the spacebar switch and actually lube it

also make sure its properly sitting in

see if theres a difference

my lekker spacebar was rattling because of the switch being unlubed believe it or not

[pastel vigil]

I'm done messing around for the evening but I'll do that tomorrow after work and see if there's a diff

[vale swan]

yeah try it

you could also try the plastic wrap mod from alexotos

[pastel vigil]

Oh whats that? don't think i've seen it before

[vale swan]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uV-tnLRgjHg

I used this to fix my pbt spacebar popping off on the side with Jades

it also fixed the ticking i had with that spacebar

[pastel vigil]

This is crazy but seems like the perfect solution if the rattle is from the stab stem

[vale swan]

its more of a keycap problem i think

[pastel vigil]

the'yre gmks so Id hope it's not the keycap

[vale swan]

my GMK spacebar even after being taken in out for like 50 times is still pretty tight on the spacebar

[vale swan]

the keycaps he uses for the example are also GMK

it could happen

[pastel vigil]

rip

[vale swan]

for example all 3 of my 7u spacebars i own came warped(2pbt 1gmk)

tho the gmk is the least offensive

[pastel vigil]

damn

[vale swan]

ye shit happens

i will actually be checking for this specific thing when i buy my next gmk set

[pastel vigil]

smart

[vale swan]

nah not smart just curiousity

my warped 7u spacebar doesnt tick or rattle the GMK one, the pbt ones tick like crazy

[quiet bay]

Hey man are you wires balanced because they sound rattly as hell along with the ticking

[pastel vigil]

I balanced them as per this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxHb6CJc9V8

Maybe I should put soem tape or something between them and the pcb

[quiet bay]

Can also try that yeah bandaid pad mod

could make it feel mushy though but try it to see if it helps

[pastel vigil]

If all else fails I could use other stabilizers

Maybe finally try Owllabs, tbh am not the biggest fan of Durocks but all I have is TXs and those don't agree with the 60he lol

[pastel vigil]

btw I checked this today. Lekker, Raptor and Jade all have the same spring length. Not sure what it is, but it's shorter than 18mm, probably 16mm.

Weirdly enough, when I just pressed the springs on their own, the lekker felt the softest even though it's bottom out force is the highest?

[latent fern]

idk why but the jade and lekker bottom out dont feel that different to me even tho 10g is a significant difference

i thought i would have trouble typing on a 50g spring but it feels fine

[pastel vigil]

There's something funky going on lmao

[latent fern]

some hidden magic going on haha

[pastel vigil]

Yeah like maybe the material/weight of the housing or stem is making things feel different, because the springs tested outside the switches on their own is not the same as springs inside the switches when I wanted to test what was softest and what was hardest lmao

[latent fern]

how’d you test?

[vale swan]

ye they all use the same springs besides the force curve they are identitical

[pastel vigil]

I just used my thumb and index finger to compress them to see if they felt identical or not

I also spring swapped all 3 with all 3 springs and the results were just even more confusing lmao

[cursive wave]

i was tryna find either a zoom 98 or 75 but couldnt find a single website where it was in stock

[latent fern]

i have a qk75n and that board is similar to the zoom75

maybe even better cuz its so easy to build

no ribbon cables or anything

[cursive wave]

what switches u got

im new to this and need a keyboard soon cuz im using a nasty office wired keyboard

[latent fern]

akko cs ocean blue tactiles

[cursive wave]

nice

[latent fern]

very cheap

[cursive wave]

ik

i got another question

whats the difference in a flex cut pcb and a non flex cut pcp

?

[latent fern]

the flex cut pcb has a boucier typing feel

but doesnt sound as good

[cursive wave]

hmmmm

what would you get

which one do you have

[latent fern]

i have the non-flexcut

[cursive wave]

alr

and what plate is best

[latent fern]

the holes on the flex cut let too much sound out i think

so it could sound more thin

but i guess you could tape mod over it and maybe fix it?

i got both the alu and the pom

tbh i dont really notice a difference between them

[cursive wave]

hm alr

why tf is everything so expensive bro...

like spending 300+ aud on a keyboard

[latent fern]

if you want something cheaper you could look at the monsgeek m1

[cursive wave]

i was, I had that in mind

btw

is aliexpress worth buying parts from?

or nah

[latent fern]

i think its worth

[vale swan]

flex cut pcb sounds thinner

[latent fern]

ktt roses were like 17$ for 90 at one point

[cursive wave]

thoughts on everglide aqua kings?

[vale swan]

the only way i'd accept flexcuts is in something plateless with a lot of movement like the salvation

[cursive wave]

i had someone tell me they were a good buy

[latent fern]

ive only heard good things about aquakings

the only complaint was the factory lube was kinda heavy

[vale swan]

they are good but they might come overlubed to shit

[cursive wave]

this was the build i was looking at

[vale swan]

you could also try something HMX

i would not get those keycaps

especially with south facing leds

[cursive wave]

what would you get

[vale swan]

something that has normal legends on it

[cursive wave]

hm alr

[vale swan]

I'd look at pbtfans as they have some sets in the $40 area

like that japanese one thats kinda dark gray

[cursive wave]

lemme check

you guys got any bettwe option for switches that would be a popular choice in terms of linears?

[latent fern]

ktt roses

kang whites

gateron milky yellows

akko jelly blacks

[cursive wave]

something that has a deeper sound profile

[latent fern]

ink blacks?

[cursive wave]

hmm alr lemme see

[latent fern]

i cant really think of thocky linears rn haha

i like more poppy/clacky

thats why i love my jades haha

[cursive wave]

any suggestions from what u like?

im open to anything rllu

rlly

[latent fern]

my fav linears are subuwus

its a black cherry pie clone

[cursive wave]

alr

lemme search those up

[latent fern]

idk if theyre in stock

[cursive wave]

yk the full name?

[latent fern]

pleiades switches

by zenclack

[cursive wave]

alr

this?

[latent fern]

this is the tactile

[cursive wave]

else i donty think they r in stock

[latent fern]

awww ):

[cursive wave]

anything else?

[latent fern]

its an old switch

like from a year ago

[cursive wave]

oh alr

[latent fern]

gateron yellows

[cursive wave]

they r a budget switch arent they?

ive heard sound tests

[latent fern]

budget switches are the best

[cursive wave]

they sound nice

[latent fern]

gat yellows are like my second fav linear

[cursive wave]

wth

they cheap asf

first search result

[latent fern]

try to look for the milky housing

[cursive wave]

alr

?

[latent fern]

yeah those

i hear theyre better

those are the ones ive tried personally

[cursive wave]

oh alr

i might go for these

[latent fern]

theres a lot of good double shot pbt sets on aliexpress too

[cursive wave]

i think i found one

[latent fern]

i like those

[cursive wave]

they looked nice to me

bro doing that shaved off $90 from the end price

wth

i had no ide what I was doing

vtw

btw

do the stableizers on the mongeekm1w come lubed

?

[latent fern]

nah im sure they have stab wires haha

[cursive wave]

typo lol

idk what i was thinking

but

r they lubed?

from factory?

[latent fern]

not sure

i assume yes

[cursive wave]

alr

so it should be a pretty straight forward build

just put switches in and keycaps and ill be done

[latent fern]

basically haha

just watch monsgeek m1 vidoes

and copy

[cursive wave]

ive watched like 30 of them

istg idk why im so nervous

[latent fern]

building a keyboard is really fun

just enjoy the process

and dont go broke

[cursive wave]

lmao

i think ill be fine

its my dad buying it for me

[latent fern]

youll do fine

good dad

[cursive wave]

ong

[latent fern]

if you want you could get the cheaper gateron yellows

i dont think it would make a HUGE difference in sound

[cursive wave]

idk, its like a $10 diff

[latent fern]

the milky ones were just the cheapest i could find on amazon at the time

[cursive wave]

so it should be fine

[latent fern]

just make sure to say thank you to your dad haha

[cursive wave]

the main expense is the keyboard

[cursive wave]

obv lol

[latent fern]

whoa why is the M1 180$??

i thought it would be like 100$

[cursive wave]

aud

not usd

[latent fern]

i assumed it would still be cheaper

[cursive wave]

im going for the m1w

[latent fern]

ohhhhhhhhhh

[cursive wave]

wireless variant

[latent fern]

im a silly american

[cursive wave]

lmao\

final build:

[latent fern]

looking good dude

[cursive wave]

ty, you helped bro

[latent fern]

that build is gonna be awesome

[cursive wave]

hopefully

first mechanical keyboard

[latent fern]

i would reccomend lubing the gat yellows if you can

[cursive wave]

maybe a bit further down the line tbh

[latent fern]

it makes a big difference for gat yellows imo

[cursive wave]

i got a friend who has some lube

[latent fern]

i rocked mine stock for a long time before i lubed them

[cursive wave]

krytox... something

i dont remember

i could ask him

[latent fern]

krytox 205g)

[cursive wave]

ye that

[latent fern]

205g0*

[cursive wave]

he's got that

I could just ask him

cuz he already has his endgame keyboard i think

idk the exact specifications

ik the switches tho

he's got oil kings

[latent fern]

Oooo expensive

[cursive wave]

ye

they sound rlly good

bro this server icon is a troll

[latent fern]

what board is it on?

i hate it so much hahaha

[cursive wave]

like i said, idk

[cursive wave]

i thought i had some stupid glitch

[latent fern]

it was driving me nuts earlier

[cursive wave]

fr

i restarted discord as fell

well

[dapper kernel]

April fools over but didnt change it back 💀

[cursive wave]

lmao

works

[shell inlet]

What screwdriver do I use ?

Ph-1?

[pastel vigil]

yup

[shell inlet]

My tofu came before my key caps from wooting 😭😹

[sacred elm]

can u somehow make jades to have 4.0mm travel ?

[pastel vigil]

use the bottom housing of another switch

but at that point they are no longer jades

it being a long stem switch with a closed bottom housing is what makes jades jades

that exta 0.5mm is overrated

[sacred elm]

so different spring has nothing to do with travel right?

[pastel vigil]

i mean it will change how the travel feels

but the distance will be the same

[sacred elm]

aight thanks

[pastel vigil]

I personally like longer springs on the jades, gives you a lot of control over the entire range

makes DKS easier to use

[sacred elm]

they are still on the way

cant wait to test them

[pastel vigil]

You are in for a treat, best feeling switches for sure

[sacred elm]

yea also 30/50 is perfect for me

[grave plaza]

did anybody who frankenswitched the raptor he with lekkers end up using films?

[somber inlet]

Starting another long term project (:

Basically the goal is to design a knock-off Stream Deck that snaps onto the top of the Two HE. Currently the plan is to use replacement parts from mixer boards like motor assisted faders, LED VU meters, and 0.6in 64x64 pixel OLED displays with a TBD switch below and acrylic to protect the display (perhaps later I can look into making knock-off key caps with the same methods used for custom artisan resin keycaps). So far I got about half the needed parts sourced, now I'm currently figuring out how I'm going to power, and control the inputs, most likely going to order something custom off PCB Way with an Arduino as the brain assuming it can handle that much. Really want to prototype a quick design of what it should look like, but it would pointless without having the parts in hand, and I really don't want to commit until I get all parts sourced. If anyone is interested in this project I can send you the parts I'm planning on using and some of the other sourced projects that use these parts.
Got the majority of the code/designs already sourced from open source projects which is great.

Currently looking at the GH page with the cad files for the TwoHE, anyone know why there is a Two and a Two HE?

[little glen]

Two used flaretech switches

So, optical switches

[somber inlet]

so they are two different products? (:

[little glen]

Yes

Two he uses hall effect sensors

[somber inlet]

Ah neat

[little glen]

It is also the more modern one etc etc

[somber inlet]

yeah currently grabbing the cad files for the main body of the board

woah when did GH support viewing CAD files?

[stoic robin]

what are the best mods for wooting?

and where can i find them?

my 60he+ should be coming asap

what mods do you guys recommend?

[weary tree]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[stoic robin]

ty

[weary tree]

best imo is gummy oring mount and lubing

[drifting bronze]

What mods are worth doing on the wooting 60he + and is the tape mod worth it?

[vale swan]

in an alu case if you use no deskpad yes

tho in the tofu redux not so much

[drifting bronze]

I'm getting the stock case

[vale swan]

the alumaze and the salvation do benefit from this

[drifting bronze]

So the stock case to?

[vale swan]

you get the prebuilt

or the module

[drifting bronze]

Prebuild to not break the bank

[vale swan]

then nah

you cant really change the sound of it in the stock case unless you buy Jades

[drifting bronze]

And what mods are worth it

[vale swan]

swapping switches and lubing the stabs or changing them out for pcb mount stabs if you have issues

[drifting bronze]

Do the different switches change the performance

[vale swan]

no

[drifting bronze]

And does it sound okay out of the box or not

[vale swan]

to me no, but to you it might

cant know until you try it

just dont think about it until you receive it and typed on it a bit

the only thing objectively you might need to do is relube the stabs if they rattle

[drifting bronze]

Yeah but I can only get the abs keycaps becouse I'm getting the iso layout in french

What do I need to relube

Does the sound from abs and pbt change that much

Becouse I am using the apex pro TKL right now

[vale swan]

yes

it changes a lot

[drifting bronze]

And do you know where you can get pbt keycaps in french azerty

[vale swan]

i do not know how cheap abs does, but between pbtfans pbt and something like GMK pbt is much much deeper

[vale swan]

no

im not french

@quasi topaz help him

[quasi topaz]

what

utilise aliexpress

aurevoir

[vale swan]

thats kinda rude

[quasi topaz]

im not here to be nice ⚔️

[tidal dagger]

oh man this looks great

[still wraith]

Is it worth it to burger mount the 60he+ module or can I just use the included Silicone stand-off protection stickers to achieve somewhat the same result?

[vale swan]

!!!!!!!!!!

[drifting bronze]

So no mods then

[little glen]

No need

[vale swan]

i cant tell you what mods you should do when you dont even have the keyboard in hand so you know the sound of it

[drifting bronze]

Ok

[vale swan]

you need to experience it yourself and see if you find any problems

then work from there

[drifting bronze]

Ok thx though

[vale swan]

yeah just come in this channel

when you need to

[drifting bronze]

but does it sound better then the apex pro tkl?

[somber inlet]

just found a complete cad model of the Stream Deck, yippee I dont have to buy one and return it to make my own. (cause that is not nice)

[foggy iron]

Do anyone know if there is a case with 4 degree typing angle other than the alumaze? My fav would be a tofu case with 4 degree

I just can’t find any and all 5 degree cases are not available lol

[normal schooner]

no I would get an alumaze

[foggy iron]

fine, i just sent back my blue one, not my color and support wanted to give me a discount so i get it for the same price again, waiting for days 😄

[vale swan]

you could get a wrist rest with the tofu
