Hello there if I get the tofu 60 redux should I use a PC plate then to make the pining less?

#

Or doesn't that help

#

Becouse I really love the tofu redux case

#

Should I do it like this or what should I do

#

And is it compatible with iso layout

#

And are the raptor he switched worth it

polar girder
#

Raptors are an improvement on the lekkers IMO

#

“Worth it” is subjective

polar girder
drifting bronze
#

Yeah I already have the wooting 60he+ normal

#

Bc I wanna get the tofu redux man and I can buy 70 raptor he switched for 31 dollar so idk

#

I have the lekker 60 switched but I don't know if I need to get the switches thou

pastel vigil
#

True

pastel vigil
drifting bronze
#

Ah thx

#

I truly lovde this community

pastel vigil
#

If you are gonna swap lekkers, get jades or ks20us

drifting bronze
#

Everyone is nice

#

Do u own a tofu redux?

pastel vigil
#

One on the way 🙏🏻

drifting bronze
#

Oh but in general if u use it is it better to use a PC plate or a metal or a carbon fiber

pastel vigil
#

Up to your taste, PC or Carbon would be an improvement over the stock steel plate.

#

PC is you want deeper sound, Carbon if you want higher pitched sound

drifting bronze
#

And what is the difference in sound profile

#

Between PC of carbon

pastel vigil
#

PC is deeper/low pitched

drifting bronze
#

Ah ok

#

Thx and should I buy the bras weight

pastel vigil
#

Not necessary but also kinda is.

#

Def recommend it

#

Unless you want a hollow pingy case havo

drifting bronze
#

Nah

#

But when I get it what's best the foam with the tofu or with the wooting

polar girder
#

Yeah I mean you could just get the new case then see what you think

#

But the PC plate is a nice upgrade IMO

#

Yeah I bought the redux originally no brass. Then 4 months later bought the brass

#

Brass is better IMO

polar girder
#

Switches are pretty subjective tho

drifting bronze
#

And what should I do like color combo it bc I have black shine true keycaps from wooting and I want to buy the tofu should I buy the black or grey one it's hard to see it. In my head u know

pastel vigil
#

Its a wobbly mess that kills ur rgb

polar girder
#

So dramatic

#

Lol kills in that it slightly changes it red

pastel vigil
#

And if u lekker stem swap then then just go buy KS20us its a better switch

#

And the magnet has issues

#

I just dont see their appeal

#

They dont have a niche imo

#

Ofc its all subjective and im just stating my opinion

polar girder
#

Yeah I’d say jades or KS20U over Raptors

#

But they’re not that bad lol

pastel vigil
#

They arent

#

But they arent an improvement over lekkers

#

Hence why i think they are pointless, its not an upgrade

drifting bronze
#

And what should I do like color combo it bc I have black shine true keycaps from wooting and I want to buy the tofu should I buy the black or grey one it's hard to see it. In my head u know

#

Sorry for copy paste though

pastel vigil
#

Depends on your taste and what keycaps u wanna use in the future

drifting bronze
#

Idk I use a iso layout french

drifting bronze
#

Would it be a okay build with the tofu redux case in the gray one PC plate black Lekker 60 switches lubed and lubed stabelizers and the wooting backlight pbt keycaps becouse there where no pbt keycaps available

pastel vigil
#

Yeah 👍

drifting bronze
#

But to match should I like use the gray tofu or black

#

Idk man

#

And what foam should I use the one from the tofu or the one from the wooting

harsh dove
#

Black and gray go with anything really

#

Whichever you prefer

drifting bronze
#

Oh okay but I have black keycaps should I go grey then?

pastel vigil
harsh dove
#

For reference

drifting bronze
#

On this picture the black one is to black for my liking

#

And the gray one looks clean I think

harsh dove
#

Get the gray one

eager hearth
#

careful if you're from eu tofu import gonna be expensive

#

and for that price you can just get something higher quality

elfin garnet
#

he should order it from maxgaming eu store

harsh dove
#

OR

#

Don’t buy one at all

#

Make your own

drifting bronze
#

What cases are higher quality then

spiral anvil
#

That is the biggest cap I've ever seen

#

They are noticably more tight and don't have that chatter like the lekkers do

harsh dove
#

I mean Calder feels the same way

#

I also don’t feel like they’re that great

spiral anvil
spiral anvil
harsh dove
#

Yeah that’s fair enough

pastel vigil
harsh dove
#

Well if they have the first batch then they bought them before those were released

#

Like I did

pastel vigil
#

Raptors just feel like they have no niche which is why I think they are pointless to buy in this current moment.

spiral anvil

#

Early lekkers were

pastel vigil
#

I like that the raptor stem is black is about the only praise I have for em.

harsh dove
#

Yeah I like the colors

#

That’s it

pastel vigil
#

What I really want is an HE version of gateron smoothies

#

All pom

harsh dove
#

I don’t regret buying anything tho cause I enjoy testing things myself

#

Plus always have em on hand for reference and peoples questions

spiral anvil
#

I guess its just waiting for lekker pros

brazen sparrow
#

Hoping for a knob ngl

pastel vigil
#

My wishlist for lekker pros is all pom and closed bottom housing, with white bottom housing and black stem.

harsh dove
#

Tenturo wants all Nylon

pastel vigil
#

But well see. HE switch knob would be wild.

harsh dove
#

I want an all UHWMPE switch

pastel vigil
#

I want an all venom symbiote switch

#

No wobble, tight af

harsh dove
#

Lekker Pros should come in wooting colors

#

But they won’t make opaque top housing

#

Cause of RGB enjoyers

#

Should do a RGB and non RGB version of their “pro” line

spiral anvil
#

Do we have a release date for lekker pros?

harsh dove
#

No

#

They’re not even confirmed in terms of coming to fruition

#

Just teased on a stream is all we have

spiral anvil
#

Damn

harsh dove
#

But I’m sure they’re working on something

Plus or non plus

drifting bronze

Wooting 60he+

spiral anvil
#

Yes

drifting bronze
#

I mean clip in not screw in

#

Like the ones that came with my wooting

elder hinge
#

Is the pc plate wooting plate better than the stock steel? Or is that all preference with sound and such?

marsh saffron
#

but i think it feels and sounds better

elfin garnet

I agree. Feels and sounds much better.

i dont really like the bass out of the box when playing so i set it to -3db

I just use Sennheiser audiophile headphones

fluid ravine

and turn up the treble

#

but overall good IEMS

stray tiger
#

I was going to order the new crinacle IEM's but Cam suggested trying these first (the others are $349 so there is that...) but a lot of that money is in the digital cable they come with, which I'll never use because I already have an audio interface I use

marsh saffron

im no audiophile but these iems blow my old sennheisers out of the water lol.

i might look into a new audio interface but im very happy with my fiio ek10 and zero reds

op asf in game, and sounds great for music

  • i can take these things with me and just plug them into my phone

median spade

tempted to get some 20u as everyone speaking so highly of them

harsh dove
#

Typing angle of the alumaze is lower tho and has extra feet

elder hinge
#

Is the brass bar weight worth the extra cost as well

harsh dove
#

Would like to know your thoughts

I like a higher typing experience

are the white ones for $40 pre lubed too?

Can't justify spending $25 more on peach ones dogekek

My guess is yes

But the peach is Goated

pastel vigil
#

Who can help me identify these?

#

My MX game is weak

median spade
#

clear one is a tactile, one is just gateron yellow clear top, far right is box ink

#

other one is probably ks9

stray tiger
#

tecsee clear ice maybe, cant see the stamp. Gat KS-8 yellows maybe, box ink for sure on the bottom

pastel vigil
#

Theyre all gateron

harsh dove
#

The IceCandys don't have the box stem

pastel vigil
#

came with my KS20Us

harsh dove
#

I have that same clear box stem one but I can't remember the name

stray tiger
#

Oh yeah thats right

harsh dove
#

it is gateron

median spade
#

middle two are ks9 i belive and clear one is tactile as i have that same one

What are some better quality cases then the tofu redux

#

For the same price

pastel vigil
#

Same price? forget about it.

drifting bronze
#

The Tofu is about 114.75 for me right now with shipping and everything

pastel vigil
#

Redux is as cheap as it gets.

drifting bronze
#

Ah ok

#

But what foam should I use with it

#

The one that comes with the tofu or with the wooting

pastel vigil
#

Whatever you like, either tofu's own foam, your own, or the one from wooting

drifting bronze
#

What do u prefer

pastel vigil
#

idk i I dont have a tofu

#

Id just try both

drifting bronze
#

And the tape mod is it worth it

pastel vigil
#

again you just have to try and see if you like it

#

I like it in some boards and I dont in others

#

no logic to it, it either works or doesnt lol

drifting bronze
#

Wait some how many keyboards do u own

pastel vigil
#

3

drifting bronze
#

Damn I only have 1 and I want to upgrade it though

pastel vigil
#

5 including the 80he

drifting bronze
#

But what should I do

elfin garnet
#

tape mod and the foam is also the easiest to test and take out/add so +1 on just trying it out and see what you like

drifting bronze
#

Wait until I can buy everything at once wooting lube is witch tool set and PC plate. And then the tofu redux or should I buy the tofu redux now and the other once later bc I'm gonna help my parents 3 days.znd il get 100 euro and I have about 11 now so il have 111 and the total cost is 173.74 so that means I wil have to safe some more but the event on kbm wil end soon

#

So what is the smartest

#

And I'm 15 so

pastel vigil
#

If I was 15 and I only had 111, I'd just enjoy my stock wooting lol

drifting bronze
#

Ah damn ik have about 120 I just checked but i don't like the case and the feel man

#

That's the thing my parents let me spend it but I need to get it first you know

pastel vigil
#

Modding keyboards is a money sink, and you might still not like how it feels or sound.

drifting bronze
#

Nah I like the switches but not the case and the feel like I only need to change te case to something heavier to not make it move on my desk and the PC plate to make it deeper I bought the wooting so if something breaks later I can replace it separately and the one time I need to buy a case is worth it to me

#

And the time to mod I am willing to take it to like I want to do it good at once you know

#

I'm going to sleep have a nice day/night it's almost 3am at my country

pastel vigil
#

Yeah Aliexpress is goated

drifting bronze
#

Thx

latent fern
#

@pastel vigil i got the 62g springs and they feel a lot heavier than stock jade springs. i like it a lot. the spring return is a lot quicker due to the long spring. however it doesnt feel too heavy for gaming which is nice.

#

the initial force is around 50g cuz when pressed against a stock jade, the stock jade will bottom out before the 62g jade stem starts to move

pastel vigil
#

Yeah the rebound on longer springs is so nice, it's almost mandatory to me now. really hard to use stock springs if the are too short.

#

Are your springs the 18mm or the 22mm?

latent fern
#

i only saw 62g springs that were 22mm

#

i feel like the 18mm ones would feel slightly less extreme but i dont mind the 22mm

pastel vigil
#

I do like the 18mm 70g but it is a tad too heavy, funny its fine for typing but can be tiring for games with a lot of actions per minute like doom.

spiral anvil
#

Tofu foam is nice

pastel vigil
#

Constantly holding WASD whilsts hitting control, shift and other keys in rapid succession was a bit of work.

GMK keycaps are abs correct?

Okieeeee

latent fern

#

I ordered GMK Sumi keycaps / Jade switches

latent fern
#

niceee

#

is GMK Sumi in group buy?

solid plume
#

Nope, got them on eBay

#

Payed a premium for the base kit :/

latent fern
#

it be like that :/

#

im tempted to buy GMK but im scared of the shine

solid plume
#

Mehh, with hours play all keys will shine eventually

latent fern
#

do you own other GMK sets?

solid plume
#

Nope this will be my first modded keyboard

latent fern
#

ohhh okay nice

#

you went ham on your first custom mech haha

solid plume
#

Figured it will be my endgame keyboard.

#

So might as well

#

Just trying to find some cheap keycaps on Amazon now

#

Delivered by tomorrow

#

lol

plain marsh
#

can you have a smaller spacebar on a wooting? dont know how it works with stabiliezers etc, like could i use a 3u one?

fallen crag
#

I mean.. You could do it, but then its only connected to the switch and the stabs are just hanging out in an empty gap next to the spacebar

#

The stabs are on a fixed position, so u cant move them

plain marsh
#

icic

#

it would just be for one game tbh

fallen crag
#

Y u need a smaller spacebar for a game? :0

#

U could also just use a 1x1 ,so u put less stress on the switch

#

and keycap*

plain marsh
#

ye well im using both hands on keyboard since its tekken and my left thumb feels so akward resting on my spacebar xd

fallen crag
#

Ahh.. Okay xD

plain marsh
#

or mby i wait for 80% but may is so far away :(

#

cause then i can use home button etc and dont need to mess with spacebar

fallen crag
#

Ur keycaps were pre-installed?

#

/ u got some "spare" keycaps?

plain marsh
#

i have spare keycaps but havent ordered my wooting yet

normal schooner
#

if you choose the japanese jis layout you have a smaller spacebar

plain marsh
#

oh

#

prob wont do that tho since i want my nordic but cool to know

normal schooner
#

its alot of money

#

but I do recommand the 80he if you got the patience, with iso nordic layout

plain marsh
#

oh just realised iso nordic is july :(

#

if they only had a seperate like 6 button keyboard

#

so niche

normal schooner
#

thats not just nordic... the keyboard isnt out yet

plain marsh
#

ah i thought it was may for somereason

#

for iso

normal schooner
#

no its still in development

plain marsh
#

ye idk where i got that from

#

just saw that 80 doesnt have 3 buttons as home etc aaaaaa

little glen
#

You can change it to home

#

ill just have to settle for 60 ig and try diff stuff until its comfortable

drifting bronze
#

Does the case already have the bras weight or not

velvet egret
#

it does not

#

it also says on the screen shot

#

(without brass weight bar)

drifting bronze
#

Ah ok

#

Nthe case is compatible with iso layout

velvet egret
#

yeah

drifting bronze
#

Can I bag lube the springs with the switch lube from wooting or is that not possible

velvet egret
#

Youll need thinner lube to bag lube your springs

#

i Believe people use 105g0 for bag lubing springs

drifting bronze
#

Ah where can I get that

velvet egret
#

Amazon/Onlinestores that sell KB stuff

drifting bronze
#

Is there any coupon code on kbd fans

velvet egret
#

Not that i know of, your best bet would be to search on google.

craggy viper

yeah going forward i think orange 2.0s are my prefered ks-20 switches

What does the silicone vs foam layer change the sound profile of your board with the PC plate

You know if modding would be the same? Like if I could match the switches to my keyboard etc

#

Still new to this, what’s Hall effect

median spade
old kayak
#

Appreciate the info, skimmed it a little but I’ll do a deeper dive later. Why wouldn’t they be able to be used with a standalone num pad

median spade
#

pcb has to be built for them

old kayak
#

So wooting switches only for wooting pcb

harsh dove
#

No, there’s 3rd party switches that are compatible but not all of them. Wooting is also working on a software feature to let you choose which switch you’re using. “Switch Selector”

#

But for some examples, some switches have stronger magnets, I.e. Geon Raptors, some switches have reversed polarity I.e Outemu , and some just simply don’t fit the Wooting PCB I.e Gateron KS37b

cedar gate
drifting bronze
#

to the top and bottom or where do u put it

cedar gate
harsh dove
#

I’d do the top and bottom of the spring

cedar gate
#

BTW while I'm here what's the difference between the black and white pc plates from wooting does it screw with the RGB or smth

#

Not that I care I don't even like rgb that much

harsh dove
#

They are the exact same aside from color

#

White will spread/diffuse the RGB more

#

Black will reduce it

#

Black is also nice if you don’t use any RGB

cedar gate
#

So black makes rgb more subtle

harsh dove
#

Cause it fills the gaps between keycaps with black

cedar gate
harsh dove
#

Fair , I don’t use any on my board

cedar gate
harsh dove
#

I’ll provide some examples

cedar gate
#

So white makes it bright black makes it dim?

harsh dove
#

See how you can see in between the keycaps on the bottom board

harsh dove
#

Black absorbs light

#

White spreads it

cedar gate
# harsh dove Correct

I want the rgb subtle so would black be good then I don't want white spaces in between my keys

harsh dove
#

Yes

drifting bronze
#

what does a black plate do like just for estetics

harsh dove
#

The spaces will be more or less prominent depending on your keycaps also

cedar gate
#

Alright then I will get a black pc plate

harsh dove
cedar gate
harsh dove
#

Pbtfans has solid stuff

cedar gate
harsh dove
#

Wooting also has new keycaps coming soon if you like the wavy topographical look

#

New colors I should say

harsh dove
#

Here’s the base model/color

#

They have new ones coming soon

cedar gate
#

I was really looking for a keycaps set without random colors just WOB with maybe some red or blue highlights so crosshair is perfect but it's out lol

#

I wish they had something like that like mostly just WOB but with subtle red highlights

harsh dove
#

But I’m sure you don’t wanna spend GMK money

cedar gate
#

It'll take a while but I want a no compromise endgame kb

harsh dove
#

Fair enough, GMK Deepwell would be a nice set then if that’s what you’re looking for, however it is ABS, which some people like or don’t like, they will shine after a while, you either embrace it or hate it

#

If you are worried about shine then I’d go with a PBT set

#

Some of us also agree that the feel of the shine feels better on your fingers

cedar gate
#

Yeah shine isn't my favorite matte looks much better imo

harsh dove
#

Then I’d go for a PBT set

cedar gate
#

But I have seen every pbt set known to man and the only one that really works for me is crosshair

harsh dove
#

Have you checked MechMarket for it?

cedar gate
#

Not yet lemme see

#

It gets sold out first

#

I'm not the only one who wants it lol

#

Ig I'm stuck with plain Ole WOB lol

#

wait

#

thats real

stray tiger
#

Yes lol

#

Its a Jade with a purple stem, so 100% new

#

Mmhmm

stray tiger
#

The hero you EU guys needed (the NovelKeys of the EU)

vale swan
#

thats where i got my gmk from

#

this time i might go with pbtfans abs tho, those cookies keycaps looks really sick imo

stray tiger
# bronze grove Mmhmm

On the bright side, you guys will eventually have access to some sick GMK caps thats are OOS in the US

vale swan
#

nice

#

but none of those fit white that well

bronze grove
#

I need an EU based store, not a single maker or distributor 😦

vale swan
#

well this is a eu based store

#

he has a lot of gmk shit in stock

bronze grove
#

Not quite a store in the sense that MyKB was.

vale swan
#

oh well

novel plume
#

are the stabs came with 60he+ module pre lubed?

#

They have these listed as 55g instead of 50g, interesting

And I don’t remember the bottom housing being nylon

#

@stray tiger

stray tiger
pastel vigil
#

Almost tempted to buy a set and see if the stem has less, more or the same amount of wobble

vale swan
#

this is ugly as shit tho

stray tiger
#

$75 is pricey but if you already want a new set of jades, then go for it. Im willing to bet no tooling changes were made for this as Gateron is still producing Jades

vale swan
#

wait what

#

these are 75???

stray tiger
#

Well for 70 switches

vale swan
#

thats so stupid

harsh dove
#

Yeah

#

That’s how much jades were when they first came out iirc

#

After shipping and taxes

vale swan
#

before vat and shit my jades were 67 for 70 and thats when they were almost brand new too

harsh dove
#

I prefer the white stem

pastel vigil
#

Yeah I'd rather just go buy more jades lmao

vale swan
#

thats fucking abysmal

vale swan
#

if they made the bottom purple too then sure

#

oh they are normally 80 not 75

#

thats even better

#

they didnt even have the balls to change the top housing material

#

or something

#

i wonder what the point of these are

pastel vigil
#

Kinda feels pointless tbh

#

unless WS is making an HE board or something

#

but even then why not just put jades in it

vale swan
#

probably just to claim they have an HE switch out too or smth

harsh dove
#

It’s kinda funny to me cause it’s something you don’t even see after the keyboard is assembled

#

So paying that much for a recolor is a bit ridiculous

pastel vigil
#

Preying on OCD impulses or those with seethrough caps

vale swan
#

you better have pbtfans or gmk if you spend 80 for 70 switches before shipping or any other costs

stray tiger
vale swan
#

hopefully we actually get new switches not 6 rebrands of the same 2 things

vale swan
#

theres like 5 KS20 v1s which are all the same, the KS20U, the KS20T and on the other side KS37/B/C

pastel vigil
#

My dream switch is all POM dual rail with 4mm travel closed bottom housing. 22mm 55g springs

vale swan
#

i dont really have a dream switch tbh as there never will be one

#

I want to see Jades with the bottom out slightly dampened and with the cheap top out fixed and I want to see a Cherry MX Black HE

#

tho the cherry will be unusable until spring swapped and filmed so who knows

pastel vigil
vale swan
#

jades with the slightly quieter bottom out and not that trash loud top out would be nice as a start

stray tiger
vale swan
#

yeah idk

#

either way besides the top out i'm mostly fine with how this sounds in a salvation

#

it for sure exceeded my expectations considering what atrocity i received in the box when i first got the prebuilt

stray tiger
#

The next 12 months are going to result in big improvements in HE switches.

vale swan
#

if those improvements will all be Jade recolors i'm fine

harsh dove
harsh dove
#

They gonna make a silent HE with silicon injection molds in the top and bottom housings

velvet egret
#

yo cam your switch boxes how many can they hold?

harsh dove
#

About 90

vale swan
vale swan
#

please do

#

that way i can make an informed decision based on your experience

#

if I can leech info off you, I will

polar girder
#

Yeah but cam likes jades

#

So meh

vale swan
#

i like jades too

#

his tastes and mine are pretty aligned

#

he is just like me

#

this waiting game is easy to play if you have something good already, but if you don't it's not

stray tiger
vale swan
#

it's gonna get to a point, where literally anything will be an upgrade

#

i find it the same with pc shit, everyone on reddit keeps saying wait for this wait for that, it will be so much better

#

it's just so retarded imo

#

you buy the best you can at the moment and just accept it

pastel vigil
#

because at any given time "It's only X long before new CPU gen is out .... it's only X long beforew new GPU series"

#

At some point you just need to bite the bullet and buy.

vale swan
#

Jades numba 1

vale swan
pastel vigil
#

It really depends on if the need is there and if I have the time and money to put together a new one.

vale swan
#

ye i went from 980ti to 2 1080s to 2 2080tis to 3090ti and then 4090

marsh saffron
#

i had a 1060 laptop for from like 2014-2020 where i upgraded to a 3600x 2070super

#

had the 2070 super build until april last year

polar girder
#

Yeah I went Rx 580, 6700xt, 6900xt, and buying a 4080 rn

marsh saffron
#

now im on 5800x3d 6900xt

vale swan
marsh saffron
vale swan
#

i played all the games i wanted on this setup

#

next one will be gta 6 ps5 then gta 6 pc

marsh saffron
#

i cant wait for my 4k pc to get 45fps on gta 6

vale swan
#

well it depends on how good they do the port

marsh saffron
#

its probably going to be bad

vale swan
#

RDR2's port is awful and GTA 5's doesnt scale past pascal gpus

harsh dove
#

I can’t remember the pc before my laptop but I came from i7-6700/GTX 960 , 12700k/3070 , 7800x3d/4090

vale swan
#

seems like im the insane one here out of everyone

harsh dove
#

Waiting for 9800X3D and 5090

vale swan
#

i used to change monitors every 6 months too until i settled on my current main

marsh saffron
#

yeah doc your a bit schizo in that regard

vale swan
#

well it helps

#

now i know exactly what i want and what to avoid

harsh dove
#

I went thru like 6 monitors before I settled on my Ultrawide

marsh saffron
#

that is a benefit of it for sure

old swallow
harsh dove
#

Sell them

marsh saffron
#

i lucked out on the monitors ive boughten

vale swan
harsh dove
#

Give some to my mom

#

I have 2 left

marsh saffron
#

my first 165hz i bought on a whim and lucked out with a acer nitro 165hz which from what ive read is actually very good

#

and my current main now the xg2431 is well, amazing

stray tiger
#

I couldnt tell you my computer history because Im old but at age 17, instead of buying a car, I asked my mom to co-sign for me to get a $3k loan to build my first computer. It was a 486 16Mhz with 8MB of RAM and a 500MB hard drive with 28.8bps modem

harsh dove
#

I just have the mentality of I want to experience my games to their fullest with zero limitations so I buy the high end

stray tiger
#

Since then Ive built/owned over 50 PC's

marsh saffron
#

i just want 240hz in all the fps games i play

vale swan
#

once u see 4k u cant really unsee it and once you see how much space you can work with on an ultrawide you can't really give that up so I looked for a solution for that tbh

harsh dove
#

Instead of car it was PC

marsh saffron
#

when i can afford to push 240hz @ 1440p ill upgrade my pc and monitor again

polar girder
#

Once you go 360hz you can’t go back

marsh saffron
#

but for now im end game

vale swan
#

so i cant imagine 360

marsh saffron
#

yeah im not giving up 240hz for 1440p

#

not worth it to me

polar girder
#

TN IPS or OLED for 360hz

harsh dove
#

Ideal for me is 4K @ 240Hz+ 34” QD-OLED (Glossy) 1800R

polar girder
#

All about motion clarity

vale swan
#

the problem with oled ultrawides is that they will get uneven pixel burn out

harsh dove
#

That’s fine

#

Just buy a new one

vale swan
#

my AW3423DW got that in 6 months

marsh saffron
#

if oled becomes cheaper i might get an oled 240@1440p when i do eventually upgrade

vale swan
#

i have been using my LG c3 tv as my monitor for the past 7 and it has seen minimum 10-12 hrs a day usage and there is no sign of burn in whatsoever

stray tiger
marsh saffron
#

oleds color looks amazing but idk if i can justify the price (especially if they can get burn in)

harsh dove
#

I think toms hardware has a whole list of OLED TVs and monitors and testing their lifespan before burn in

drifting bronze
#

should i go with the black tofu redux case or the gray one i use with the backlight wooting keycaps

harsh dove
#

People seem to like that switchable 240/480Hz from ASUS iirc

marsh saffron
#

didnt they find a way to stop oled burn in from happening?

harsh dove
#

I mean it’s getting a lot better

#

IMO

#

With Gen 3

vale swan
harsh dove
#

There’s a lot of features in place to help prevent and reduce it

vale swan
#

like for example using Firefox in its fullscreen mode as that has the browser bookmark on auto hide like the windows taskbar

marsh saffron
vale swan
#

i turn this off maybe once or twice a day

harsh dove
#

Most of them have screen savers

#

And auto shut off

vale swan
#

i use the windows screen saver or if that doesnt work the tv one kicks in

harsh dove
#

Yeah

#

Plus

#

Depending on which brand you buy

#

Most have a 3 year burn in warranty

#

So

vale swan
#

i wanna try one of those 32 inch qd-oleds but they are way too small

harsh dove
#

Good to go

vale swan
#

with expensive shit

harsh dove
#

Probably

#

Expensive doesn’t always mean better

vale swan
#

nah not probably

polar girder
vale swan
#

in the keyboard hobby no

polar girder
#

But real talk, that 480hz 1440p OLED there might be no going back after that

vale swan
polar girder
#

For esports FPS anyway

marsh saffron
#

isnt the 480hz oled like 1400 usd

vale swan
#

540hz TN is not a versatile panel and is 900 bucks for 1080p like bruh

harsh dove
#

Yeah

marsh saffron
#

wild

polar girder
#

That’s the dual mode one

vale swan
#

there is a DFR one

polar girder
#

Which is chalked

marsh saffron
vale swan
#

but that one also has its own issues

#

like the 450 nit HDR lock

polar girder
#

Noones using HDR at 480hz lol

#

Fk HDR

vale swan
#

it has a 4k240hz panel

#

and yes you will

#

HDR is good on oled

polar girder
cedar gate
#

What are the best switches compatible with wooting I used to think jades but I'm honestly doubting myself rn

harsh dove
#

HDR is good at the $800+ price range

polar girder
#

Dual mode FTL

marsh saffron
#

my 6900xt cost less than half the price of the oled 480hz

harsh dove
#

Anything below that and it’s meh

marsh saffron
#

LOL

vale swan
#

RTX HDR and Auto HDR work wonders on windows

cedar gate
#

BTW why are yall talking about monitors

vale swan
marsh saffron
#

yeah im too broke for oleds

#

cant justify spending more on a monitor than my gpu cost me

polar girder
#

I got an unopened XL2566K for $450 shipped

harsh dove
polar girder
#

It’s more just # keyboard-modders-general-chat

vale swan
#

yes

marsh saffron
#

no channel in this server ever stays completely on topic

vale swan
marsh saffron
#

60he chat was used for tech talk more than the tech talk was 🤣

harsh dove
marsh saffron
#

motion clarity wise what would be the best option for 1440p@240hz

harsh dove
#

It’d be like buying a 4090 and playing on 720p

vale swan
#

ight fuck these monitors

#

has anyone here tried pbtfans abs

#

i wanna buy a set cuz they look sick

harsh dove
#

I have not

vale swan
#

these bitches(cookies n creme)

harsh dove
vale swan
#

from all i've seen is that they are deeper than GMK but not as deep as PBT

harsh dove
vale swan
#

or the AW2723DF

harsh dove
#

He said 240hz

vale swan
#

thats 280hz

#

iirc

harsh dove
#

Oh wait

#

Yeah I think it is

marsh saffron
vale swan
harsh dove
#

It’s in my closet

harsh dove
#

Same

#

I only have two left

vale swan
#

i only have my main monitor which is a TV and my bedroom TV as a backup

drifting bronze
#

should i go with the black tofu redux case or the gray one i use with the backlight wooting keycaps

marsh saffron
#

i can cover half of shipping if that, that oughta be a good deal

harsh dove
vale swan
#

mf sellin monitors for 10 bucks

vale swan

yes

#

the ymdk store on aliexpress

marsh saffron

vale swan

Jades whack

vale swan

on hood?

polar girder

Loud and high pitched

nah I havent gotten another switch since im waiting for some more options

polar girder

Clacky clacky

ye

I agree, they aint for me

vale swan

clack clack

cedar gate

no he did not

polar girder

Lolz

vale swan

stop harassin the man

jades are fine I guess

cedar gate

thats a lie

shush

harsh dove
vale swan
#

LOL

harsh dove
#

So KS20u is next best

agile grove

jades best clack ks20u best thock?

harsh dove
#

Sure

vale swan
#

prob ye

cedar gate
vale swan
#

those stem swapped raptors prob go deeper but ye

harsh dove
#

You guys can make your own opinions on what is best for you lol

vale swan
#

no i cant

#

im a degenerate

agile grove
#

there isnt a best when everything is preference lol

vale swan
#

ur lying

harsh dove
#

Exactly

vale swan
#

jades are the best objectively

harsh dove
#

“Best for you”

vale swan
#

there i said it

agile grove
harsh dove
#

Yeah

agile grove
#

hell some people even still stand by lekkers

cedar gate
#

Geon raptor he looks cool asf tho

vale swan
stray tiger
#

There is no best HE switch, there is only which do you prefer. You might get the Lekkers, lube them up and love them. You may also want something a little louder/clackier, then get the Jades, if you want a little lower pitch get the KS20U's, you want the quietest choice, make some frakenraptors, the list goes on

cedar gate
harsh dove
marsh saffron
#

I'm sticking with lubed lekkers until a silent HE switch comes out

#

Gonna go with lekkers v2 when they come out

vale swan
#

lekkers are silent if you drop 5 grams of 205 in each switch

agile grove
vale swan
cedar gate
harsh dove
#

The Father knows

vale swan
#

then it will sound like a squirter

marsh saffron
#

Is there any mods I could do to make lekkers silent(other than absurd amounts of 205)

cedar gate

imo black tofu is a bit boring (its just a black box) but if thats what you want go for it

cedar gate

Don’t think I like it with FR4

White tofu + white keycaps + black PC plate would look so good imo

It'll be a board you've likely never heard of (and no one else has done it for HE). It's not going to be pretty either
