Soon tm indeed

[latent fern]

i’m trying to research if spring coil diameter effects the spring constant

[pastel vigil]

it should, surface area changes

[stray tiger]

https://www.alexotos.com/the-best-mechanical-keyboard-stabilizers-in-2024/

Alex has a new stab guide out

[median spade]

TLDR: only use cherry clip in I’m guessing

[stray tiger]

TX AP ranked lower then Durock, C3 Equalz, Mode and Cherry

Staebies and QMX at the bottom

[pastel vigil]

"Some people find tuning Durock stabilizers very finicky."

Me, it drove me mad.

Do we know what brand of stabs wooting uses for their clip ins and screw ins?

[stray tiger]

I have had very little issue with Durocks. They are pretty damn solid for me

[median spade]

I miss pretool GMK clip in

Best stabs but GMK didn’t like having good stabs so had to ruin them

[latent fern]

same here

[fluid ravine]

@stray tiger Use Cases — 3/5

You can use these on almost all builds. They even come in 1.2 mm variants which makes these a pretty good pick up! However, since these switches are tighter in tolerances, they do not play well with things like slightly warped keycaps, plates that impact the sides of the stabilizers and anything else that would touch the alignment of the stabilizers.

This can result in a slower return of the stabilizers and friction on the way down. It can make the stabilizer sluggish. This was more of an issue in previous revisions, but it still persists in the AP version of this stab. I have used a lot of TX AP stabilizers at this point and have first hand experience of this happening on occasion.

well

found my problem

[stray tiger]

I have had the issue too and reported it here for you guys months ago.

[pastel vigil]

TX is a nightmare with wooting lol

Staebies much worse apparantly

[latent fern]

wooting stock stabs >>>

the answer was with us the whole time haha

[pastel vigil]

facts

The stabs on the module are goated, just use a syringue for a bit more lube and you are done tuning

[latent fern]

that’s exactly what i did

[pastel vigil]

I did bandaid mod, but largely unnecessary.

[latent fern]

too lazy to take it out

[pastel vigil]

didn't really do anything, I just thought I might as well do it when I took it apart lol

[latent fern]

band aid mod like holey-mod?

[pastel vigil]

no like putting tape on the pcb under the stab housing

Too lazy for holey mod

[latent fern]

ohhhhh

[pastel vigil]

even though i have some holey mod tape handy

[latent fern]

that changes the bottom out feel right?

[pastel vigil]

If they do I haven't noticed tbh

[latent fern]

ohh okay

[pastel vigil]

but it's supposed to eliminate and friction from the stab housing and pcb. With the wooting I didn't really notice any different

[tawdry tree]

Thought I was tripping for a sec but the text is actually moving.

He said exactly what I tried to explain a while back and I wouldn’t have expected anything else. Speaking from the stabilizers I’ve actually used, it’s the most accurate rating and buy guide I’ve seen so far.

[tawdry tree]

What ain’t compatible with each other ain’t compatible with each other 😉 You can make them work and perform well of course.

[stray tiger]

Yeah, just good to see someone like Alex confirm not only my findings but also that people shitting on cherry, durocks, etc are typically unjustified.

[tawdry tree]

Eh, I agree that it’s unjustified but I do understand where people are coming from.

[cursive wave]

What’s a better switch, the gateron milky yellows or the Akko v3 cream yellows

Which one sounds better

[tawdry tree]

Oh no..

[tawdry tree]

Whichever one you prefer. 🙂

[cursive wave]

Which one do you prefer

[tawdry tree]

Haven’t used akko v3s

So can’t say, I can say that I’m not using mechanical boards anymore.

Not main them at least.

😉

[cursive wave]

…

Does bro use membrane?

[tawdry tree]

classical mechanical switches* 🤓

[potent wedge]

So which stabilizer can be used for wooting?

[rough trellis]

Hi all, I just got my tofu redux case. I didn't get the brass plate. Is it worth it? I care more about sound. If I don't get it should I fill in the space with foam or just leave it empty?

[quiet bay]

Recommended to have either the brass weight or something to fill up the hole otherwise it’ll sound more hollow

[latent fern]

get whichever is cheaper

[pastel vigil]

Any are fine. TX and Staebies can be a pain and might need some work. But honestly, the stock stabs are good, no need to replace them unless you have a very specific reason.

[marsh saffron]

i kinda just put a shit ton of extra 205g0 into the stock stabs and they sound a lot better

also dampened my space bar stab with a bit of tape on the pcb

[rough trellis]

Does foam vs brass weight make a big sound difference?

[latent fern]

@rough trellis i bought wheel balance weights from amazon to fill the hole in my tofu and it works well for $8

[pastel vigil]

both make it sound less hollow, but since brass has more mass it will do a better job. Also because it's designed to perfectly fill the cutout that will also reduce ping

[rough trellis]

Ugh! I did want to order it with the case. Seems it accidentally got deleted from my cart. Now shipping is $15 shipping again... So I'll probably just go with foam. Thanks for the response!

[pastel vigil]

check kbd's store on ali express, shippinig might be cheaper

[rough trellis]

Okay, thank you!

[pastel vigil]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006673262633.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.76b438dajvk8I3&mp=1

[fervent barn]

sorry I missed your reply, I had to run only minutes after originally posting!

I will wait to hear tests on Lekker V2 that sounds exciting!

[rough trellis]

Thanks for the help! I ordered through Ali express.

[polar girder]

I ended up buying the brass weight separate and I enjoy it

Filled it with foam but eventually ended up just getting the brass weight off Ali express.

Happy with the choice for sure

[rough trellis]

Thank you! I just ordered one off Ali express.

[pastel vigil]

Ali express actually comes in so clutch for keyboarding lol

[vale swan]

yeah cuz u pay no import fees

[pastel vigil]

shipping usually cheaper too lol

[tawdry tree]

I don’t understand how they can make a profit on some shit

It’s like €3 with free shipping

[pastel vigil]

Massive economies of scale and likely some loss leaders

It's also insane how much a lot of shit is marked up, so when the manufactorer is selling it directly instead of it going through a million middle men + R&D + marketing it can seem insane

[vale swan]

bro actually paid attention in school

unreal

[vale swan]

ye thats why i had such a hard time with o ring

[shell inlet]

Can I not use that screw hole on tofu redux?

The screw doesnt seem to want to screw in lol

[latent fern]

it works fine for my tofu redux

[shell inlet]

U have it screwed in ?

[agile grove]

you need to install one of the standoffs there first

[shell inlet]

This right

Take out the other ones right and just leave the one by space bar

Ok I’m idiot never done this

[latent fern]

yes (:

[pastel vigil]

I did this in the alumaze too don't feel bad lmao

[shell inlet]

Finished product might get some different white keys don’t know where from and maybe a different cable

[pastel vigil]

https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-x-ray

[latent fern]

looks really good

[wind karma]

which graveshift O ring do i get for the module

i already looked at the faq and stuff but i'm confused

[vale swan]

if you want to keep the stock stabs, s size

if you want to buy cherry clip ins get m size

[wind karma]

s size it is

it seems the stock stabs are good enough

s size 40A?

[vale swan]

40A is the durometer of the o ring

for this type of gummy o ring it wont make too much of a difference

[wind karma]

i see okay

so 40A is fine i guess

[vale swan]

ye its fine

i personally used 50A but i use cannonkeys o rings

its still gonna be stiff just not as stiff as tray mount and the bottom out and consistency row to row will increase by a lot

you also wont get that tray mount feedback for lack of a better word

[wind karma]

i would prefer as consistent as possible

[wind karma]

wdym?

i only ever used tray mount keyboards

[solid plume]

Just ordered my 60he+ module along with tofu 60 redux case and Drop + Red Sun keycaps

And Gateron Jade switches

[vale swan]

u have to use a non tray mount to get what i mean

[hexed flume]

Does anyone know if the TX AP stabs work with gummy O ring?

[vale swan]

they do but tx ap stabs might not work in the wooting plate

just be safe and get cherry clip ins if you have the module or if you dont have the module just get a normal o ring

[hexed flume]

Yea I have module, already have those stabs that I never got around to using in my J-02

[vale swan]

i mean try them

but if the return is sluggish or they sound like shit just buy cherry clip ins

the wooting plates are designed for plate mount stabs and thats why this happens

it also happens with the kbdfans plates but i had better luck with those

[hexed flume]

The plate might be tight for them?

[vale swan]

yes

its more of a will be than might

[hexed flume]

Gotcha, I'll have a try

[vale swan]

both of my pc plates were a no go

the cf plate from kbdfans did work but every now and then the spacebar stab would be sluggish or rattle

[hexed flume]

Could always run a file around the cut out I guess

[vale swan]

yeah you could

forgot about that actually

[hexed flume]

My staebies were like that in the j-02 but didn't fancy filing the carbon fibre plate

[vale swan]

staebies are known for this, TX not so much

[hexed flume]

👍

[wind karma]

well would it affect my gameplay negatively

[vale swan]

no

none of this will affect ur gameplay

[mystic pumice]

Anyone got a video of how to swap a Wooting 60he(non +) with a + module?

I am really scared of destroying something and I can not find a single video of a non + to + swap

[cursive wave]

guys, say I get a keyboard without an F row... How do I use the the functions for those keys... (f1-f12)

[mystic pumice]

FN key and number row

[mystic pumice]

^^

[cursive wave]

is it the same for every keyboard?

[mystic pumice]

only if it does not have F row

but yes

[cursive wave]

so how would you use the keys f10-f12

[mystic pumice]

I think that would need to be macroed

[cursive wave]

oh

[mystic pumice]

I don't use above F10 so I am not sure

[cursive wave]

alr

[mystic pumice]

F11 and F12 are just the two buttons next to 0 I believe

Just checked a video

[cursive wave]

oh alr

also

what is the little page button next to the fn key

[mystic pumice]

mine go 890+´´

and my + and ´ are f11 and f12 with the funtions key

[cursive wave]

oh al

alr

[mystic pumice]

I use ISO Nordic layout can you send a picture?

[cursive wave]

the page

idk what button that is

[mystic pumice]

idk actually. it is not on my keyboard

[cursive wave]

damn

alr

its on my current keyboard as fell but never used it

[mystic pumice]

Are you ANSI user?

[cursive wave]

yea

[mystic pumice]

Makes sense. But it should not be a problem. You can change in Wootility that page key to do whatever you want

[cursive wave]

wootility?

[mystic pumice]

You are using a Wooting keyboard right?

[cursive wave]

nope, im asking in general

[mystic pumice]

Ah then I don't know

[cursive wave]

alr

[mystic pumice]

Wootility is a browser that can make you change everything you want on your wooting keyboard

But since I don't know what keyboard you use then I don't know if it allows for customization

[cursive wave]

ye its fine

dw abt it

i mainly had a question abt the functipon row

f

row

[mystic pumice]

No problems you can ask whatever you want in here

[cursive wave]

alr ty

[mystic pumice]

The modding channel is extremly helpfull and nice to everyone. Even if it is not Wooting related

The people in this chat have saved my ass many times

[cursive wave]

lmao

have you heard of the womier s-k71?

[mystic pumice]

https://www.amazon.com/Womier-Mechanical-Bluetooth-Swappable-Pre-lubed/dp/B0C9T88PZ3 this one?

[cursive wave]

Is it any good for a budget keyboard?

yea

[mystic pumice]

https://www.youtube.com/@HipyoTech I think this guy have some good videos and suggestions

[cursive wave]

oh alr

[mystic pumice]

I have no clue what the other peoples opinion is on this guy but he makes a lot of good videos of how to mod and budget options

[cursive wave]

hm alr ty

[mystic pumice]

You are north american right?

[cursive wave]

nah

australian

[mystic pumice]

Ah. I see

Then his videos may be hit or miss.

Because for me (a European) these videos are not really that helpful...

Sometimes a budget keyboard in America is really really expensive in Europe

[cursive wave]

its better than most tbh

[mystic pumice]

True

[cursive wave]

i actually saw his short on the keyboard

looked prety good

and is cheaper than msot

[mystic pumice]

Yeah he makes a lot of shorts

I would go for it if it looks promising

[mystic pumice]

Just maybe see a few reviews from modders to hear what they have to say

[cursive wave]

yea

but on amazson the reviews seem fine

and online

and on reddit

[mystic pumice]

Then I don't see a reason to not go for it

[cursive wave]

i was also looking at the monsgeek m1w

but

the prebuild is out of stock everywhere

and building is a bit expensive

[mystic pumice]

https://akkogear.eu/products/monsgeek-m1w-sp-mechanical-keyboard?currency=EUR&variant=43503073263815&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google Shopping&stkn=b57c867d0c91&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwn7mwBhCiARIsAGoxjaK6DOppEJTDmwiDlIERH9pzXF4uv3NlR0n7elV3h1VD4hY3Nkh4vpkaAmwREALw_wcB

Not in EU

[cursive wave]

more expensoive than i would hope for on my first keyboard purchese

id have to build it

same issue

[mystic pumice]

For me there is not a barebone option

only prebuilt

[cursive wave]

cuz u use iso

[mystic pumice]

Ansi still in stock for me

[cursive wave]

damn

[mystic pumice]

I guess it may have to do that I am actully located in europe? idk

Sorry to hear man

[cursive wave]

nah its fine

was breaking the budget tbh

too expensive for my first mechanical keyboard

the womier is cheape

[mystic pumice]

What is your budget?

I think the Womier will be a good choice

[cursive wave]

200 aud

[cursive wave]

yea

seems to be the best in my budget

[mystic pumice]

Since you may have extra money afterwards then I would recommend some different switches

[mystic pumice]

I just got some Gateron Smoothie Linear switches for my Keychron Q7 and they feel and sound pretty great, but could use a tiny bit more lube actually

But I have not tried lubing my own switches yet

[potent wedge]

POM plate vs aluminium vs copper vs brass

[wind karma]

okay great!

i mean yeah it won't affect the performance of the actual keyboard but do you think the different feel would make me play any worse

[mystic pumice]

I mean you will need to get used to it but after that no difference than from before

I went from a palm grip mouse to a fingertip one and it took me a week to do just as good as with the old mouse

[vale swan]

its more of a sound thing

not a feel thing

[wind karma]

i see alright

[wind karma]

yeah i'm aware, i bought the O rings mainly for the sound hehe

[solid plume]

Let me know if I’m missing anything to join the thoc mafia……just purchased these:

1. Wooting 60HE+ Module
2. Switch Plate Kit (wanted the black PC Plate)
3. Tofu Redux 60 Case
4. Brass Plate
5. Gateron Jade Switches

[mystic pumice]

Does the switch plate do anything other than looking different?

Because I wanted the carbon fiber one for the looks

[solid plume]

From what I understand PC plate is softer and cancels out the highs

PC plate and CF Plate are nearly identical in sound tests from what I heard

[mystic pumice]

I mean the different one than the white one it comes with

oh okay

[solid plume]

Do I need to change the stabs on the he+ module?

[mystic pumice]

No need they are already screw in

I just switched out my non + module with the +

Like 20 min ago

[solid plume]

Hmm ok cause I see people keep throwing out the name TK out there

For stabs

[mystic pumice]

Absolute no need

[solid plume]

Thank you!

Am I missing anything? From that list?

[mystic pumice]

Hmmm looks fine but I am no expert. I am new to the keyboard hobby myself

[solid plume]

Me too 😦

Redux case comes with the foam for under the module

[mystic pumice]

Since you have a metal case then maybe doing a tape mod on the PCB would do you good

[mystic pumice]

So does the + module

[solid plume]

Hmmmm ok

[mystic pumice]

Metal cases can have a tendency to have a slight hollow and light ping

[solid plume]

Yes the foam from the + module goes between the module and the plate

So it’ll have two foam layers

And the second foam goes under the module

(The one from the case)

If I remember correctly

[mystic pumice]

@solid plume https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H3Ww8MM3SA&ab_channel=LettersEF

This video may help you

[solid plume]

Im now on a mission for keycaps…….god this is getting expensive 😂

[mystic pumice]

I used it to switch out my non+ module out with my new + module for my stock Wooting 60HE plastic case

https://www.maxgaming.dk/dk/keycaps/oem-dye-sub-pbt-keycap-set-pixel-universe-nordic?utm_term=&utm_campaign=&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&campaign_id=17121483809&adgroup_id=137841082682&ad_id=595850825888&utm_term=&utm_campaign=&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&campaign_id=17121483809&adgroup_id=137841082682&ad_id=595850825888&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwn7mwBhCiARIsAGoxjaKej8o7uTFyf-Z2ql9ugO7-Tok9pDzMftaqB6rFLJ6-a2QRGewxr3oaAl1LEALw_wcB

I really like these

I got these for my Keychron Q7

@solid plume

[solid plume]

I like the colors. But I’m trying to go for something subtle. But similar color scheme

[mystic pumice]

I see

[solid plume]

I opted for the pink super light 2 mouse

That’s why I wanna sorts match

Sorta

[mystic pumice]

I got a Finalmouse ULX medium

I like it

and I sometimes use a G-wolves HSK ace

[solid plume]

I couldn’t get that mouse on the drop lol

[mystic pumice]

Good

Because you would just have to send it back for warranty anyway

[solid plume]

But the super light has been a huge upgrade for me from the g503

[mystic pumice]

Almost all suffer from some shit and I had to send mine back and I JUST got it back

[solid plume]

502*

[mystic pumice]

G502 is a beast

but superlight is really really good

But I have not tried the Superlight 2

[solid plume]

I play cs2 so the super light has been amazing for flicks and quick spray transfers since 502 was a brick in my hand

Hence now I wanted to see what the Wooting was all about

[mystic pumice]

You will love it

I almost ONLY game with the Wooting and use my Keychron for anything else

[solid plume]

What are the differences between gmk and drop keycaps?

[mystic pumice]

But my Finalmouse ULX have been amazing for The Finals and Valorant. But I don't play too much competetive shooters

I don't know about drop but GMK is really really expensive and primarily group buys

And GMK make their keycaps old school style so that is also why it is expensive

I almost bought some but after thinking about it, I don't feel like paying the same price for a whole custom keyboard just for a set of keycaps

[solid plume]

They sell keycap sets

As well

Ahh

[mystic pumice]

I know. But it still costs the same as a custom keyboard

[solid plume]

True

100+ almost

[mystic pumice]

https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-cyl-norde?variant=44609459814668

I wanted these in Dolch but they are fucking expensive

Literally a custom keyboard

[solid plume]

I’m gonna browse around see something similar to the cherry pink color of my mouse

I appreciate your help!

I’m so afraid of white keycaps

[mystic pumice]

No problem my dude. If you need some help then I may be here but there are a whole lot of other people that know a ton more than me!

Good luck

[solid plume]

My hands get sweaty

Thank you!

[mystic pumice]

Same

To much work for keeping them clean

[sudden tinsel]

Any case recommend for he80?

[swift narwhal]

yo anybody have any experience with stock geon raptor he switches?

building my 60he from the module up and figured i would go for those instead of the lekkers, so far i've heard the sound is "alright" but i thought id ask some other actual experienced ppl lol

[vale swan]

if you want to use something stock

buy the white ks20u from the ymdk store

or the jades

[brazen sparrow]

There’s none for it yet besides the ones wooting had made.

[foggy iron]

Is there any difference in sound between non+ and he+ module in plastic case? I just got the module without a case and could buy a stock case for 30€

[pastel vigil]

All modules are he+

In either case, there isn't really any sound difference, so I'd buy the plastic case if you were interested in it.

[little glen]

i bought these in beige, arriving tomorrow, lmk if you want me to tell you how they are

[mystic pumice]

No difference since the only change is the stabilizers

[mystic pumice]

Thanks will do

[stray tiger]

I actually snagged a set of Vior yesterday with the alt alphas. Love this new style. ALso GMK shared a sneak pic on stream earlier this week of some new stuff they are doing

Marbling effects, transparent, glitter etc

[pastel vigil]

This hobby requires so much patience

[stray tiger]

I mised the Vior group buy so Ive been watching mm for months to get some Vior and finally got lucky. They usually sell within a few minutes

Such a unique look. Im guessing Pyga ended up being such a big hit that they are making a killing on these

With the alt alphas I love the contrast

[pastel vigil]

Oh this is gorgeous

This is pretty plain, but I am very curious to see what the final product looks like, interesting texture and effect https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=122582.0

[stray tiger]

Yeah I linked those last month and will be buying them when the GB goes live. Love that look for a black set

[pastel vigil]

Cosmos and Cipher will be my first group buy. https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=122302.0

I've lucked out with most of my other sets. Like GMK Pharaoh I managed to snag an extra set last minute and now it's out of stock everywhere except singapore lol

[stray tiger]

I hadnt seen Cipher but I like it. Just filled out the IC form

[pastel vigil]

Glad you liked it! I think it will look great on the 80he. But so will Cosmos and xray. A lot of good keycaps coming out soon, perhaps I should order another 80he lmao

[stray tiger]

I ordered 2 but don't take my advice. Spend wisely

[pastel vigil]

I have 2 60s, they could both use having a bigger brother around.

[harsh dove]

Hadn’t seen this Cipher set either, pretty neat

Filled out IC

[harsh dove]

You didn’t tell me you got two

I thought you just got two cases

[stray tiger]

I couldnt decide between white or raw...

[harsh dove]

Hahah I feel it, since it’s not the rendered raw I figured I could live without it and get a silver case for something down the road

Or get that frog mini from Tenturo if he still has it lol

I’ll get a silver board one day

[tawdry tree]

#🪛│modding_faq message They don’t work with Wooting boards as they physically do not fit due to their bottom housing. People might get them if they just think the reverse polarity is the problem. @stray tiger

37Bs ^

[stray tiger]

First line says Gateron KS-37B Switches and Variants - These switches DO NOT fit in the Wooting PCB’s and related variants of the KS-37B are currently NOT compatible with Wooting keyboards.

[tawdry tree]

Yeah

[stray tiger]

However, the Gateron KS-37C's will fit as they have removed the protuded stem case

[tawdry tree]

What’s after might confuse some

[elfin garnet]

I filled out the IC form as soon as you posted these. They are so sick. Hope they add NORDIC/ISO

[harsh dove]

Speaking of white…

I got this for my 80HE

[stray tiger]

Youre my brother from another mother (I already have that exact cable lol)

[harsh dove]

I have no words lmao

[quiet bay]

I've always wondered...have you ever used ceramic keycaps for thock?

[stray tiger]

Ive never tried them. Early on when they were destroying switch stems, I avoided them and I havent looked into them since they changed the stem design.

[harsh dove]

Iirc they still have alignment issues with the glued on stems or whatever?

[cedar gate]

What mods would you make in general to the wooting I was gonna put in jades lube it (debating tape mod or foam) burger mount relube the stabs coiled cable and pbtfans keycaps bc I want cherry profile

[harsh dove]

It’s all subjective but I prefer friction mount over burger mount

[cedar gate]

Idk if that's any good tho

[cedar gate]

How would fric mount change it

[harsh dove]

And straight cable > coiled cable

[harsh dove]

Friction mount just feels better imo and gives a more consistent sound

[cedar gate]

Ik the latency is like 0.1 ms more but it's just so clean looking

[harsh dove]

lol I’m just messing with you, get whatever you want really, I just prefer straight cables

[cedar gate]

And tape mod or foam I prefer thock over click

[brazen sparrow]

Cable mod?

[harsh dove]

Then I highly recommend moleskin tape over regular painters tape

[harsh dove]

WiredIn aka Randall

[pastel vigil]

can you link which one you use?

And sick cable btw! where from?

[harsh dove]

https://a.co/d/5mocXgP

I like this one specifically because it fits the width of the entire PCB so you don’t have to make multiple cuts like you do with painters tape or something not as wide

[pastel vigil]

Incredibly goated

[harsh dove]

Cable is from WiredIn

Also have this one on the way too

But I customized it more so won’t be exact like this one in photo

[brazen sparrow]

Wow

[crimson crown]

i wonder if theres any wooting 60he compatible cases that are similar to the tofu60 redux but with black tinted transparent acrylic instead of the plain transparent acrylic the tofu60 redux has

[pastel vigil]

https://rndkbd.com/products/adk64-60-keyboard-case?_pos=1&_sid=cf0c651a1&_ss=r

Only one I can think off.

[pastel vigil]

Is it Taychon compatible, do you know?

[harsh dove]

Yes, they are

You can choose custom lengths but by default he makes them 5ft

[crimson crown]

seems a bit too angled to me

[harsh dove]

What I also like is you can get these CNC Shell connectors instead of the heat shrink which makes the cable feel that much more premium and can get them cerakoted in a bunch of different colors

[crimson crown]

so wait are they tachyon compatible at the default length or do you need to order it shorter

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s what I used too. Thanks for rec

[pastel vigil]

These look sick

[shell inlet]

Also wondering this

[polar girder]

Yeah if I ever buy a third party cord it will be from WIRED IN

[harsh dove]

Compatible at default

Anything over 6ft is where tachyon mode can start to have issues

Hence why coiled cables can be an issue since most of the length is wound up in the coil

Wootings coiled cables are guaranteed to be compatible tho

[grand hill]

anyone got tips on where i can learn about what to do beyond lube my switches and tape mod?

[harsh dove]

#🪛│modding_faq

[crimson crown]

im currently trying to put together a list of stuff i want to get when i mod the wooting anyways

i am kind of unsure what color polycarbonate plate to get though

[pastel vigil]

Are you buying a module?

[crimson crown]

no i already have a 60he

[pastel vigil]

Ah I see

[crimson crown]

i'm just trying to figure out what to mod it with later down the road

[pastel vigil]

I like black because it goes with more keycaps. But it can dim the rgb a bit compared to white.

I hate seeing white underneath dark keycaps though

[crimson crown]

do you have a picture of a keyboard with the black polycarbonate plate installed

[pastel vigil]

Im OCD so i have both lmao

[crimson crown]

im unsure how much it dims the rgb

[harsh dove]

I do but not with RGB

[pastel vigil]

Tagged you in mine. Thats at 70% with taychon on.

[crimson crown]

its kind of hard to make out what parts of the rgb are in between the keycaps and what are just reflecting off the keycap

[wide kraken]

i'd say that is the difference essentially; with a white plate it's pretty evenly defined but with a dark plate it's concentrated around the LEDs themselves

i don't have a 1:1 on the wooting either, but have had other boards with multiple plates and that lines up with my experience

[quiet bay]

Would you ever plan to try them out now that they’re using plastic stems?

curious to see how they’d sound on jades

[stray tiger]

They don't interest me so probably not but who knows. Maybe when version 3 comes out that address the issue they have with stems not being aligned then maybe

[remote cairn]

Hey, what's the name of these?

[latent fern]

@pastel vigil i got my gummy o-ring but i like my tray mount config sound better ):

kinda disappointed

[crimson crown]

what exactly is a gummy o-ring mount

[harsh dove]

They’re from WiredIn

[harsh dove]

You take a large silicone ring and wrap it around the PCB and it kinda sits between the PCB and plate and you insert it into the case.
It’s a screw-less design mounting method

[remote cairn]

Thanks

[remote cairn]

could you send me the official website please? (is it wiredinstore.com?)

[pastel vigil]

Thats just how it be sometimes. It’s funny I just tray mounted mine. Because with the heavy springs I didn’t like the o ring.

[harsh dove]

https://wiredinstore.com/

[remote cairn]

Thank you

[harsh dove]

Randall makes some great stuff, especially if you want your Wooting boards to feel even more premium

[remote cairn]

The price is indeed premium, the sad part is that you don't get previews of the cable you're building

[crimson crown]

oh i thought it was like sticking an o-ring between the screw and pcb

[harsh dove]

Yeah, but you can join his discord to see plenty of photos of other cables or even ask him if he has any photos of what you may be referring too

[crimson crown]

that actually sounds kinda nice for "gasket" performance (even though the wooting has no flex or gasket mounting)

[harsh dove]

That would be burger Mount

[remote cairn]

they look freekin cool tho

[crimson crown]

oh i dont think im gonna do that tbh

i was gonna polyfill mod the wooting

[pastel vigil]

I feel stupid when I look at custom cables, like the name the parts and colors just isn’t intuitive to my brain

[crimson crown]

which would obstruct access to screws

[harsh dove]

Yeah I like polyfill

[fluid ravine]

Did I hear POLYFILLLLLLL

Im home :D

Hi cam

[crimson crown]

i think you were the one that convinced me on it lol

[harsh dove]

lol just Google the parts you don’t understand and can usually find an explanation

[fluid ravine]

did i?

inter4esting

[crimson crown]

im unsure it was like yesterday or something

i dont exactly remember who it was

[remote cairn]

I think I'll buy my keycaps first for my 80HE zinc case and then I'll buy a cable I guess, I haven't choosed my keycaps yet, and still not sure of the case color (either white or raw), I'm tending for the keycap set to either get GMK or X-ray keycaps (and as the last option aliexpress ones)

[pastel vigil]

That’s exactly why I feel stupid haha, am used to just knowing shit in other areas 😂

[harsh dove]

Choose keycaps before cable

And case color

[remote cairn]

I poly filled my current keyboard and it did nothing

[crimson crown]

i mean im still gonna tape mod it too

[remote cairn]

For now I choosed white zinc case, but finding matching keycaps in french, that's straight up impossible, and a national kit is like $30-$40 ish more dollars I think, so it would be $230 total for keycaps (which is half of what I spent on the 80HE)

[crimson crown]

i just think having a bit squishier foam than the stock foam would be nice to have

wait though are there any 60he compatible cases with feet that can flip out from the bottom

[harsh dove]

I prefer it over the foamy sound

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah idk about finding some good French keycaps

I did white zinc also

[remote cairn]

What keycaps did you choose?

[shell inlet]

How long is the shipping process with wired in ? @harsh dove

[harsh dove]

The plan was to go with the X Ray set with that Ghost Cable

[remote cairn]

I’m thinking about those x-ray keycaps but they’re ABS

[harsh dove]

Can take a few weeks if getting custom made cables

Usually about 3-4 weeks up to 6

They are all handmade

[fluid ravine]

u gummy oring?

[crimson crown]

well i plan on doing so yeah but my wooting is just stock with some different keycaps currently

[fluid ravine]

Ooo, alr i def recommend gummy mount with polyfill for sure

totally not bc im using it

[crimson crown]

might as well just bump this question cause im having trouble finding where to look

[weary tree]

Metal cases dont have flip out feet

[crimson crown]

i'm probably just gonna go with the tofu60 redux if i cant find anything that has adjustable angle

[fluid ravine]

Sure dump all the questions here

i gotchu

[crimson crown]

i don't necessarily care much about metal, i was gonna get the acrylic tofu60 anyways

[fluid ravine]

Not mostly not

[weary tree]

Arent many plastic cases tbh

[crimson crown]

plus im not sure if i want metal because of the higher pitch it causes

[fluid ravine]

The only case in my mind that has adjustable feet is the alumaze as of right now

Oh ping?

[crimson crown]

wait the alumaze has adjustable feet?

[fluid ravine]

Yeah

[remote cairn]

Aren’t you like afraid of taking those because they are ABS and no per key shine-through?

[crimson crown]

oh those are swappable feet not flip out ones

[fluid ravine]

Well I guess you dont got that much or any options

[weary tree]

Shine through overrated

[crimson crown]

tbh its no biggie

i was just curious

[fluid ravine]

Kk

[crimson crown]

im probably getting the tofu60 redux when i mod the wooting then

im just unsure whether to do anodized black or acrylic

[weary tree]

Gray>black imo

[fluid ravine]

anodized black is like a fingerprint magnet btw

[crimson crown]

the problem with acrylic is im gonna be using black keycaps but i think having the light shine through the edges is neat

[weary tree]

I got black and regretted

[fluid ravine]

Yeah and gray works with everything

[crimson crown]

i was considering that e-coating grey with the glitter

[weary tree]

Now i have white salvation

Pretty happy with how it looks

[fluid ravine]

meteorite gray?

[crimson crown]

ye

[fluid ravine]

ah

[fluid ravine]

wait when the hell!?

[crimson crown]

but the acrylic still kind of seems interesting to me, since maybe it could have some nice shine through even with a black polycarbonate plate

[weary tree]

I got it while 100 dollar discount

[fluid ravine]

oh righttt

i forgor

[polar girder]

Sparkly grey!

Meh

Just don’t fondle your keeb

Ez

[polar girder]

Clean

[fluid ravine]

oh shiet

[polar girder]

Cera keys salvation enjoyer

Poggers

[harsh dove]

The Xray set?

It’s PBT iirc

[fluid ravine]

Poggg

[remote cairn]

I don’t think it is, let me send you a ss

[weary tree]

It says abs for xray

[remote cairn]

https://www.modmusings.com/x-ray-keycaps

[crimson crown]

tbh im kinda considering swapping my current keycaps for those keycaps nuphy made for the gem80 boards

[latent fern]

idk what to do with this o-ring now haha

[remote cairn]

Sorry to disappoint ahah

[weary tree]

how does tray mount sound better than oring wuut

[crimson crown]

keyboard sound is a matter of preference

[harsh dove]

Oh my bad, even better then

Nah I like ABS

And I don’t care for shine through either

[remote cairn]

I’m scared of the sound being "worse" and then also them being shiny after a while even tho they are transparent

[harsh dove]

I like the sound of ABS keycaps if it’s high quality and thick

[weary tree]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20OL6r4ME1I

for reference to sound

[remote cairn]

It’s double-shot so I bet they’re high quality

[weary tree]

not the switches we will use but still

[latent fern]

sounds incorrect but it’s true in my tofu redux

[harsh dove]

Hahah I love Alex

[pastel vigil]

It’s not worth reselling. Just keep it, might make sense in a future build, for testing or in case your preferences change.

[harsh dove]

Preferences will indeed change

Happens in the keyboard hobby

[pastel vigil]

These caps are gonna look insane on the white see through 80he

[remote cairn]

Idk, maybe it’s the switches but they sound high pitched

[remote cairn]

I feel like the would go better with a frost case

[pastel vigil]

Isnt that the white see through one?

[harsh dove]

Yes

[remote cairn]

Ohh yeah mb

[harsh dove]

I actually feel like they’ll look better on the white zinc but that’s all subjective

[pastel vigil]

Also PBT sounds better than ABS. Assuming both are quality like gmk and pbtfans

Also true, I wanna put gmk redacted on that.

[remote cairn]

Yeah, I’ll hyped for it all but I’m still thinking of keycaps and case color

[remote cairn]

These are not cheap

[harsh dove]

GMK Spacebars > anything else

[pastel vigil]

They were on sale when I got em. But yeah GMK is $$$

[remote cairn]

Yeah PBT sound deeper, I feel line I like better thocc than high pitched

[harsh dove]

And I wouldn’t say PBT sounds better than abs, just personal preference. PBT is indeed deeper than ABS so if you’re going for thocc or a deeper sounding board then you’ll want PBT

[remote cairn]

I think I saw when they were on sale

[harsh dove]

And if you are worried about shine then you’ll want PBT

[pastel vigil]

Same. Having said that, all my keycaps are gmk lmao

[pastel vigil]

I guess when I say better I just mean its what I prefer.

[harsh dove]

Yeah I get you

[remote cairn]

Yeah, but these are transparent so I might not see it

[harsh dove]

Kinda what I’m thinking too

[pastel vigil]

Because it is all subjective but some people think there are objective answers. Like when people ask what mods to do to make it sound better lol

[harsh dove]

Exactly

[pastel vigil]

Same with “what are good looking keycaps”

My brother in christ idk what you like 😂

[latent fern]

maybe i just gotta test more

the gummy o-ring my my spacebar sound so dull

[pastel vigil]

I wanna try foam in space bar

But i feel like i dont wanna like it because it feels high maintenance lmao

[latent fern]

i saw some on ali

[harsh dove]

I tried 1mm and 3mm foam in spacebar, did not like it personally

I ended up using museum putty

[remote cairn]

They don’t seem to be that expensive as well compared to GMKs

[pastel vigil]

Afaik GMK is the most expensive brand of keycaps

[harsh dove]

Yeah GMK is usually $110-170 for base

[pastel vigil]

Outside of like all gold keys and similar novelties

[polar girder]

How much would you pay for a Wooting numpad? @pastel vigil

Just out of curiosity

[harsh dove]

Personally, depending on what they did, anywhere from $60 - $120

[solid plume]

LETD GOOOOO

First keyboard I’m ever customizing

Im so hyped boys and girls!

[harsh dove]

[solid plume]

Side note, do I need o rings for the + module on the redux case

[teal helm]

Hello! Potential buyer here, I hope I'm sending this to the correct channel. I've been looking for the perfect keyboard for myself over the past couple of days, which would be a full size high end ultra low latency keyboard with ISO (Hungarian) layout. Quite the impossible combination, usually the last step butchers any choice I've been looking at ( Razer Huntsman V2, Corsair K100 and a couple others ). I found the Wooting two would approximate what I want best ( but not perfectly, so I am taking any recommendation ), problem is that I would have to get my own keycaps and I didn't find what keycaps are compatible with the thing and how it works and all, you see, I never assembled a keyboard before. So if anyone knows, how do I determine a keycap is actually compatible with the wooting two?

And what I need to make sure the keycaps are actually of good quality and so on, it would be quite silly to buy a 200 dollar plus keyboard to put some random walmart equivalent keycaps on it you know

[pastel vigil]

Almost any keycap set will work, as long as they are MX stemmed, which is what most keycaps are.

I'm not sure on Hungarian ISO though so I don't have any specific recommendations.

[pastel vigil]

I'd pay what it cost

[weary tree]

ISO keycaps are hard to find tbh

[teal helm]

Yeah, and if I do, then it's almost always UK or German, which obviously won't do. Hungarian ISO is the most obscure thing in existence I swear and it's the bane of my keyboard aspirations lol

[weary tree]

https://www.kromekeycaps.com/collections/hungarian-keycaps

from a quick search this is what i found

no idea about quality tho

[pastel vigil]

But looking at things like Keychron Q0 plus and Zoompad, 120 usd sounds right to me, just depends on quality and featureset.

[pastel vigil]

What do you mean?

There are a few different o rings that all do different things. But Everything you need to put the build together is provided in the tofu and the module so you don't need anything extra to make it work. Well, you just need switches and keycaps.

[weary tree]

keychron has some keycaps too. but again idk how much quality they offer

[pastel vigil]

could always get blanks. Compatible with every language lmao https://cannonkeys.com/products/nicepbt-blanks?variant=41158425903215

[teal helm]

April 1st was 4 days ago but it's the best joke I've heard in a week LMAO

[weary tree]

yeah people wanting specific iso prob cant use blanks

[pastel vigil]

Saving the best for last haha

[teal helm]

What is a half printed PBT

I'm just thrown into another rabbit hole I don't know about

oh no the cycle starts again

I am going insane

[weary tree]

generally its doubleshot pbt

not half printed so idk

[teal helm]

The site you just sent me sells half printed

Also black and white are sold out just for good measure

I guess pink it is

jk

[weary tree]

this is what it means

"normal letters" have shinethrough rgb

and hugarian are nto

not

[teal helm]

So the non backlit is going to fade bc of wear and tear?

[weary tree]

no just means it wont light up with the keyboard rgb

wether is wears or not is due to quality

which again i dont know how much quality they offer

also note that those are OEM profile

[teal helm]

Oh so it won't even fit if I understand it correctly

great

[pastel vigil]

No they would fit. He's just letting you know what profile they are.

[weary tree]

Its just the shape

Some people like certain shapes of keycaps

And dislikes others

For comfort and looks

[mild lynx]

hey just asking people who use the jade switch with tx ap stabs

i found that the wire for the spacebar interferes with the switch making it not able to rise

how do you solve this?

[fluid ravine]

Wait were you bending the plate when taking this pic?

[mild lynx]

nope

its from the iphone lens

i had to pull everything apart to find out why its getting stuck

[fluid ravine]

Well actually

hollup

lemme pull up something for you

[fluid ravine]

Use Cases — 3/5

You can use these on almost all builds. They even come in 1.2 mm variants which makes these a pretty good pick up! However, since these switches are tighter in tolerances, they do not play well with things like slightly warped keycaps, plates that impact the sides of the stabilizers and anything else that would touch the alignment of the stabilizers.

This can result in a slower return of the stabilizers and friction on the way down. It can make the stabilizer sluggish. This was more of an issue in previous revisions, but it still persists in the AP version of this stab. I have used a lot of TX AP stabilizers at this point and have first hand experience of this happening on occasion.

fyi i have the tx ap stabs as well, and yes i had come to this problem before, even other users

[pastel vigil]

TX stabs are a pain with wooting

[fluid ravine]

This is from alexotos btw

[mild lynx]

hm it doesnt seem to be the plates

[fluid ravine]

fr

[mild lynx]

i flipped the switch and it works slightly better

i might have to bend the wires a bit

[pastel vigil]

dont do this

[fluid ravine]

nah i thought you were bending the plate which makes it look like the wire was touching the switch

[pastel vigil]

Just put the stock stabs back for the spacebar

Or put some lube on the wire there but idk how long that trick is gonna last for

[fluid ravine]

What problems do you have with the stock stabs?

[mild lynx]

i bought the tx ones since im switching cases so might as well

[fluid ravine]

So there wasnt really any problems with the stock?

[pastel vigil]

I thought the same and I ended up with 2 useless sets of TX APs rip

[mild lynx]

it was difficult to tune

[fluid ravine]

I mean, not saying that you're wrong but you prob did smth wrong

[mild lynx]

ill slightly shave the side of the switch and ill let you know what happens

[fluid ravine]

mmm

wouldnt do

doesnt matter anyways

its still gonna get stuck

its the stab and keycap problem

not really the wire touching the switch problem

[shell inlet]

Lemo connectors are expensive ash lolwhyyyy

[pastel vigil]

It's gonna be a headache for you to fix tbh

[fluid ravine]

just move the stabs up and down, it will slowly respond over time

do it without lube

[mild lynx]

it already is a headache lmao

[pastel vigil]

I just went back to stock stabs tbh, was not worth the hassle.

[lapis stump]

"When an o-ring is detected, the firmware will revert to stable firmware behaviour to ensure consistent results without deeper support for them" is this targeting gummy o ring? should we not be using it to have the latest firmware changes?

[pastel vigil]

Context?

[stray tiger]

No, its targetting switch o-rings

[mild lynx]

IT WAS THE KEYCAPS

[pastel vigil]

what keycaps are you using?

[mild lynx]

im using one from a 15 dollar cheap amazon keyboard

[fluid ravine]

told ya

lmaoo

How is it now

[mild lynx]

unwarping the space bar rn

[fluid ravine]

👍

[teal helm]

Guys, I might have found the unimaginable.

I was looking for an alternative to the wooting two, and found the slightly faster corsair k70. So here is the blasphemy.

Turns out ISO of a k70 is not available in my country. BUT, I can order a german one. I looked at it very hard, the german has the same amount of keys as hungarian. So, I might contact a custom manufacturer to make me corsair k70 german style hungarian keycaps, and I'll order a german one then swap. This is the most cursed thing on the planet I swear LOL

I haven't done anything but the mere possibility utterly disgusts me

[stray tiger]

Very blashpehmy

[pastel vigil]

why not just get something like this? https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1584309025/white-hungarian-keycaps-iso-hu-dual

[teal helm]

Yeah that's the manufacturer

[stray tiger]

Come hang out with Cam and watch him unbox the funky stuff I sent him https://www.twitch.tv/camofflife

[vale swan]

i hope you sent him unlubed lekkers

the first batches too

[stray tiger]

Its way better than that

[vale swan]

those are nice keycaps tho

shame he doesnt have the white salvation like me

[stray tiger]

The keycaps are 🔥

[vale swan]

yeah

that spacebar is fire

[harsh dove]

Courtesy of @stray tiger

[pastel vigil]

2nd pic goes hard

[agile grove]

Thockfather you should send me random stuff

[vale swan]

i need those

i dont really like dracula on the white 😭

[harsh dove]

Yeah these the best keycaps, no contest

[quiet bay]

kitty keycaps would go hard on white salvation

[vale swan]

thats what im saying

fuck the GMK and the good spacebar

need the kitty keycaps fr fr

[pastel vigil]

needs more kitty

[vale swan]

ikr

[near loom]

These gateron magnetic jades are so nice

I wish i got these before the raptor he switches

[vale swan]

they are especially in the salvation

[pastel vigil]

Jades #1

[vale swan]

jades with GMK is insane

the spacebar slaps on this bitch even in the tofu with the tray mount it was nice af

[mystic pumice]

I wish I had the cash for GMK... They look insane but it is kinda hard to justify paying the same price as for a high end custom board, just for keycaps... But man I would if I wasn't a poor student

[vale swan]

nah 180 isnt high end custom

its like pretty entry level

[mystic pumice]

Whut da hell?

Still absolutly insane price for keycaps

[vale swan]

yeah

the mode envoy kit used to start at like 180 and thats no switches no caps

i dont even know if they include the stabs

[pastel vigil]

Being a student is tough, everything is expensive lol

[vale swan]

i wouldnt buy this shit if i was a student

stay far away

[mystic pumice]

Worst part for me is that GMK keycaps I would need to buy a set for 180$ and then buy another NorDe (for nordic buttons) and pay another for like 80$ for like the last 5 letters that I need

[vale swan]

there are some specific norde sets

[pastel vigil]

just buy some clones and call it a day

[mystic pumice]

Arent clones really really cheaply made and have a tendency to break at the stem?

[vale swan]

if you want actual gmk alternatives

look at Drop DCX

[pastel vigil]

cheaply made yes, but they are not gonna break under normal use

[vale swan]

those are still high quality abs

[pastel vigil]

theres still worse keycaps to buy

Drop makes good shit

[mystic pumice]

For now I am fine with my stock PBT keycaps on my new + module and my Keychron Pixel Universe on my Keychron Q7

[vale swan]

the stock wooting caps are fine

if you want an upgrade ig look at stuff from like nicepbt from cannonkeys, pbtfans, drop dcx and gmk

[pastel vigil]

honestly they were great. Replacing them was purely an aesthetic choice.

[mystic pumice]

Drop DCX don't make Nordic layout it seems

[vale swan]

oh ye

[mystic pumice]

Like I am already extremly limited with keycaps because I need Nordic layouts

I remember being on this channel for like 5 days getting help finding keycaps but ALL of them are not in Nordic layout

It is either some useless cheap stuff (at like 5$ for a complete set) or something like GMK at 200$...

[vale swan]

ye ISO is a bit rough

tho all keycaps should atleast have an ISO enter and small left shift

[pastel vigil]

Yeah, I like iso but I've just converted to ANSI for conveniece.

[mystic pumice]

I need ÆØÅ to communicate in my own language lol

[pastel vigil]

I grew up on ISO

[mystic pumice]

Maybe in the future but definitely not now

I just switched from a full size to 60% and I am not about to learn ANSI while learning how to use 60% at the same time 😅

[pastel vigil]

Fair

[mystic pumice]

And figuring out how to use my language letters with it

[pastel vigil]

@crimson crown https://smkeyboards.com/collections/60-and-larger/products/60-acrylic-case Have you seen this case?

[mystic pumice]

That looks sick!

[pastel vigil]

Ye he was asking for a smokey see through case earlier and these guys have tons of options

[mystic pumice]

Yeah I could tell it had tons and tons of customizable stuff on it!

Thankfully I feel glad with both my keyboards at this time and don't really need anything else. But I think that after I upgrade my CPU to a 13600KF (from a 13400f) then I will start to save up for GMK keycaps

[vale swan]

what exactly is the point of that

for gaming they are pretty similar

[mystic pumice]

Blender and FLStudio could use a bit more CPU

[vale swan]

go for it then but i'd prob go for a 13700K

[mystic pumice]

Plus my 4070 and 13400f are having very slight bottlenecks but that could be fixed witha 13600kf

[vale swan]

interesting

[vale swan]

based

[mystic pumice]

13700k is a whole 1000dkk (145$) more expensive than 13600KF

[vale swan]

145?

jesus

[mystic pumice]

I will be going for the 13600KF then because I con't have enough for the 13700K

[harsh dove]

That sounds about right

[prime orbit]

Yo that cable is clean

[vale swan]

gimme the cable and the kitty keycaps

help a brother out

[harsh dove]

Considering KF is about $30 cheaper than K model

Then another $100 for the 700 vs 600

[vale swan]

145 is too much for the extra 2 p cores

[mystic pumice]

Exactly what i was thinking

Plus minus the euro tax

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[vale swan]

i think here they are about 70 eur away

[harsh dove]

Thank you

[prime orbit]

That cable work with it too? No issues performance was e

Wise

[vale swan]

it works

[harsh dove]

Yeah works great

[vale swan]

its not even a coiled cable

i think you need like 100% RGB and tachyon to break a normal coiled cable on this

[prime orbit]

I just heard that non wooting cables were bad

Like they don’t work as well

[vale swan]

yeah well not how that works

[mystic pumice]

Anyone here got GMK keycaps they may be willing to sell?

Something that fits a black case

[vale swan]

i hate to inform u but imo most gmk sets fit a black case

i dont think i've seen one thats in stock that didnt match my old black tofu

[harsh dove]

Most keycaps in general fit a black case tbh

[vale swan]

yeah

its kinda hard to have a bad match

white is easy too but not as easy

[harsh dove]

But if you wanna be a chad, get some black blanks

[pastel vigil]

Blancks

[vale swan]

lmfao

[harsh dove]

Or

[vale swan]

now that i think about it

[harsh dove]

Get you some kitty kat keycaps

[vale swan]

the white blank cerakeys

would go hard on my white salvie

[mystic pumice]

Man Cerakeys blank whites and frosted white looks insane

[vale swan]

oh ye damn right

its a shame ceramic gives you a low pitched sound profile

Actually makes RGB look pretty good with the way the keycaps absorb the light

[vale swan]

[mystic pumice]

I think its meh

[vale swan]

i dont mind it as a backlight tbh if its dimm

[mystic pumice]

I’m looking for keycaps that match this specific mouse. Looking for a primarily black keycaps with this color as enter/shift/ spacebar etc….

Any ideas would be great!

[pastel vigil]

Budget? PBT or ABS? Do you have a certain profile in mind?

[solid plume]

No budget, I’ve decided I’m breaking the bank. PBT or ABS

[crimson sky]

black pink keycaps caused issues once before

[solid plume]

What do you mean

[crimson sky]

literally a keycap set named after a kpop group called blackpink

Best Buy was sold out on the black ones and I have no patience

[pastel vigil]

I'm not, just asking so i can color match keycaps as close as possible

[solid plume]

Thank you I was making a joke 🙂

[crimson sky]

don't buy that

[pastel vigil]

Honestly I think pink is dope lmao

[crimson sky]

reverse dyesub sucks in general

• epbt at the time sucked

[pastel vigil]

Which is funny when people know that about me because I am a very large man who almost only wears black lol

[pastel vigil]

oh really? Shame. I hear they are good now.

[crimson sky]

their reverse dyesub still sucks

their newer sets are alright

[solid plume]

So the GMK pink on navy kaps is what I’m looking for

But black instead of navy

But that set goes harddddd

@harsh dove @stray tiger found the perfect case for the kitty caps.

[shrewd hatch]

Hey is it worth lubing the magnetic jade switches? If so should I do both housing, stems and also springs?

[pastel vigil]

factory lube is pretty good

but it will never beat hand lubing.

[shrewd hatch]

Got some 205g0 and 105 which I could use, any vids of factory vs hand at all?

Just don't want it too mushy hoping to keep a nice pop

[pastel vigil]

I suggest doing a few and seeing if it's worth it for you. I bag lubbed springs and gave the stems a healthy dose of lube.

[shrewd hatch]

None on housing?

[pastel vigil]

nope

[shrewd hatch]

Aigjt

Thankyou

Got a soundtest you could send through actually?

[pastel vigil]

don't know of any

For what it's worth though i found lubing them made them less loud and less high pitched. I liked that. The feel of them didn't change.

[shrewd hatch]

Alright I'll put a bit of lube and see how it goes, might wait for my tx stabs before installing them though

[pastel vigil]

tx stabs might give you issues

[shrewd hatch]

Have heard of that

[pastel vigil]

#🪛│modding_faq

I use my jades with the stock stabs just fine

[shrewd hatch]

Works for some though right? Very odd

[pastel vigil]

the tx was more trouble than its worth, but good luck

its a whole combination of things, you wont know until you know.

[vale swan]

what the fuck is that layout

[pastel vigil]

You know what i got so distracted by the case and lights that i didnt even notice how cursed it is

what the fuck is right

[vale swan]

at that point u might as well have a frl 1800

[solid plume]

Decision has been made @pastel vigil

GMK sumi.

[pastel vigil]

Can't go wrong with GMKs

[primal hound]

Where does one get these fancy GMK sets in EU? I have no idea how this works.. Do you just pre-order and wait years?

https://candykeys.com/product/gmk-lilac-on-black this one looks kinda fancy

I got this GMK Devoted kit on some flash sale, don't even remember which site it was

[austere creek]

any status updates?

[vale swan]

candykeys is an EU store, but this one you gotta preorder. otherwise check oblotzky

https://oblotzky.industries/

[primal hound]

Yup found it, thanks

[remote cairn]

what's the point of this add-on or case? I don't really understand what this is

[austere creek]

its an aluminum case for the 2he made by a third party

[remote cairn]

Ohh nice, thank you

[earnest moat]

bro i just got the wooting and imo the sound is so different from what I've seen on videos, it is so much better and smooth

idk if its because they lubed very well but it sounds thocky af

[crimson crown]

i have not but thanks for the ping with it

[last spoke]

Cheerio.
Since I already sift through the internet and this discord, I was wondering if anyone can share some knowledge:

I ordered a barebone case ( akkogear 5075S DIY Kit ), low profile switches ( cherry mx low profile ) and now keycaps ( Wooting Double Shot Backlit PBT Keycap Set ).
It occurred to me, that I may need to replace the stabilizers on the barebone board (still waiting for all parts to assemble the board).
Has anyone an idea if that is necessary?
I found only one brand for those, Gateron, and just 2 comments on the internet discussing it, not really helpful.
I took a look at a lot of stabilizers, some seem to be lower, but that is just measured by eye.

[velvet egret]

Got my jades in today only 34 euros!!

What a crazy different sound and feel compared to the raptors that I’ve been using since release of the module

[wet hazel]

From AliExpress? I bought them for a similar price months ago

[velvet egret]

Yeah, they were on sale so i was like why not. for 34 euros that's a good price. i paid more for my raptors than my jades

[wet hazel]

yup, those are the real deal, the only nitpick is that they come in a plastic bag instead of a plastic container

[velvet egret]

Yeah true, i was looking if i could find one that was on sale and that also came in a container but meh, my raptors also came in a baggy so its wtvr

Can't complain when i got them this cheap 😄

[weary tree]

yoo

you got link pls

[velvet egret]

The sale is gone,

[shell cobalt]

Does anyone accidentally knows a website in EU with Tofu Redux case in-stock 😦 Maxgaming only have Orange and Acrylic

[vale swan]

aliexpress, they dont charge import fees

[remote cairn]

The cheapest for me was 57€, but I'll still buy them from wooting

[cedar gate]

Is it safe to buy from Ali express

[velvet egret]

I have done it multiple times, without any issue

[vale swan]

yes

i'd argue its the safest

[cedar gate]

Alr cool

Anyone have a good lube tools bundle on Amazon not too expensive preferably

Feed the oring through the screw then feed that through the pcb then put the other one on top

[vale swan]

are you using pcb mounted stabs

hmm

[cedar gate]

Then no idea 🤣I've only ever done burger mount

[vale swan]

are you sure the o ring is seated properly

otherwise it should slide in pretty nicely

tho not too easy

on a harder o ring it will be harder to get in and out

i insert it top first then make sure the o ring is seated nicely on the sides and bottom

ye thats fine

now the standoff on the top right will make it slide in harder but it should be fine

it wont slide in too easy like in tray mount because the whole point is to friction it to the case

no

even if they would be on the kbdfans plates not a good idea

still should fit

hope u dont have problems with the tx stabs

cuz the wooting plates are normally too tight for them

press it down

and you should be good

tofu o ring is my 2nd most favorite config for the wooting
