#

I remove the alumaze foam

vale swan
#

not for deeper

harsh dove
#

Actually nice cause the board sits flush

vale swan
harsh dove
#

Instead of looking like a low profile

vale swan
#

i hate switches peaking out too

harsh dove
#

Yea

vale swan
#

hmm

#

this dono guy from alex

#

it gave me an idea

#

we need to get chatgpt to make a lekker disstrack

#

whoever does it first remember it was my idea first

harsh dove
#

I mean lekkers are fine unless you’re sensitive to the wobble or care about the noise

vale swan
#

yeah but we need a disstrack

harsh dove
#

But all He sounds similar except jades

vale swan
#

like that guy did with foam

#

but this time

#

a full one

agile grove
#

I really wanna buy another keeb just to mess around with modding but the moment I see the bill im gonna kms

harsh dove
#

See if you can find some mystery box like Bakeneko did

agile grove
#

true

vale swan
#

dude that bakeneko was insane

#

its such a nice keyboard

#

you can do so much with the bak

agile grove
#

I need to save up money tho

#

looking to getting a new pc and monitor

harsh dove
#

Was like $70 for the mystery box kit

vale swan
#

ye was nice

#

shame it doesnt have a left side usb c

#

it'd be sold out even now

#

if it did

#

i mean you can make your own cutout for it

agile grove

#

@vale swan

#

U want the disstrack?

vale swan
#

ig

drifting bronze
#

Wait give me a minute then

#

.

#

Yo, listen up, let me lay down the facts, About these wooting switches, they're straight-up wack. Magnetic lekkerswitches, what a joke they be, Making sounds so wobbly, like a dying banshee.They claim to be smooth, but nah, that's a lie, I'd rather type on rocks, I ain't gonna lie. Wobble, wobble, like a toddler's first steps, Can't even type straight, got me feeling inept.(Chorus) Wooting magnetic lekkerswitches, what a disgrace, Turning typing into a total disgrace. Wobble sound like crap, ain't no debate, Stick to the classics, don't take the bait. They said innovation, but this ain't progress, Feels like typing on a mattress, I must confess. Give me Cherry or give me death, Can't tolerate this wobble, it steals my breath.

vale swan
#

@harsh dove fire or dogshit?

drifting bronze
#

Haha

harsh dove
#

Foam one was way better

vale swan
#

yea

idle hare
#

Looking to get a 3rd party coiled cable, any recommendations?

harsh dove
#

Wooting Cable Kit

#

Straight cable > Coiled

vale swan
#

i like this guy

median spade
agile grove
#

any recommendations for orange red and black keycap set?

#

I was looking at GMK carbon then realized that my wallet would hate me

harsh dove
#

But your keyboard will love you

agile grove
#

meh

#

its meant for gaming

#

thinking of building a jamesdonkey a3 with oil kings for my brother

harsh dove
#

This set


agile grove
nova relic
#

people who go for THOCC in a tofu redux. wooting foam (top pieled off) or the one that came with the redux?

harsh dove
agile grove
#

its just green

harsh dove
#

You don’t get it

#

It’s better than just green

pastel vigil
#

The other day someone say their clicky clacky jades were very thoccy

nova relic
#

opposite of clack pepeOK

#

lets just say.. a more deep and less noisy sound

pastel vigil
#

I would suggest laying the pcb on both foams in the case and whichever one you like, commit to it and mount the pcb

#

Difference is incredibly minor that I couldn't even describe it to you

nova relic
#

yea, thats the plan. just tought I might ask before it, maybe someone can save me some time

agile grove
#

this may be a stupid question but does anyone know any websites that sell good GMK clones?

nova relic
#

what I know is, there are GMK katakana sets on ali for lower than half the price

#

but I'm not gona take that bait kekwgif

agile grove
#

ali has gmk carbon clones for like 18 bucks

#

its so tempting but I dont want to get scammed or end up with a bad product lmao

stray tiger
#

If its a cloned, getting scammed its likely. Just make sure the seller has feedback

#

I usually wouldnt buy from a vendor named Store128725728256

median spade
vale swan
agile grove
#

I think this would look pretty fire

median spade
#

dont' remember carbon having a dark base Thonk

#

looks like skidata

agile grove
#

its from ali

median spade
#

oh lol

agile grove
#

I think the dark base will look better with the case tho

harsh dove
#

GMK cinder isn’t bad either

median spade
#

I'm a monocolor lover for my gmk sets

#

so I wouuld agree

#

pretty much 95% of my sets are monocolor

harsh dove
#

I just want like 10 BoG sets

#

And I’m happy

pastel vigil
agile grove
#

I dont have money for gmk 😭

#

the keycaps would cost more than the kit

pastel vigil
#

Just buy clones and accept quality is clone quality

agile grove
#

thats what im gonna do

#

its not for me anyway

pastel vigil
#

But if you post here about how the clones aren't perfect we will laugh react

agile grove
#

its for my brother

harsh dove
#

Try to go for high quality clones if possible lol

agile grove
#

all the high quality clones I can find have centered legends pepecry

harsh dove
#

Oof

agile grove
#

this ali store has good reviews

pastel vigil
#

I'm joking pls dont @ me

median spade
#

the longer someone is in the hobby the less they start to like 'thocc' and go towards 'clack'

vale swan
#

@pastel vigil

agile grove
median spade
#

Yep

#

and realizing thocc is just the sound of foam

#

unless it's topre

agile grove
#

I can appreciate a good clack

pastel vigil
agile grove
#

personally I do like thock tho

pastel vigil
#

@ me in 5.5 years.

median spade
#

Clack also made my skin crawl when I first started haha

#

Then I got a board that does it right without ping

#

and changed ever since

#

It's more or so when you get to hear the differences of switches then anything else

agile grove
#

I feel good thock is easier to get compared to good clack

median spade
#

100%

agile grove
#

a lot of clack I hear is just really hollow and loud

pastel vigil
median spade
#

Like let me share what I think is the ideal definition of good clack

#

This right here

pastel vigil
#

lots of shitty clack has made the majority of people to chase thocc

agile grove
median spade
#

could be your audio setup too

agile grove
#

true

harsh dove
#

But for HE

#

lol

polar girder
#

Yeah see

#

That’s why you like jades and no foam

harsh dove
#

Waiting on Wooting to do that for me with the lekker pros

polar girder
#

Nothing wrong with that. But not the sound I’m going for

harsh dove
#

Better not be anything wrong with it

marsh saffron
#

Good clack can sound really good but I prefer really quiet thock/deep thock

polar girder
#

Yeah I just want quiet low sound

harsh dove
marsh saffron
#

Quiet thock is just bliss to the ears

polar girder
#

Ik ik lol

harsh dove
#

I don’t mind thock, my only gripe is the foamy sound

#

Just feel like I’m super sensitive to it

#

And can just hear the foam

marsh saffron
#

I can't decide if I like the silicone or foam more between plate and pcb

harsh dove
#

Neither

#

lol

polar girder
#

Yeah I haven’t tried either one yet

#

Rocking neither and it’s pretty clean

#

Would like it quieter tho

marsh saffron
#

Silicone sounds a bit louder but deeper, but the foam is a bit quieter

#

Ive been using the silicone for a little over a week I'm gonna try foam for a bit I think

harsh dove
#

Iirc silicone mutes the mid tones and foam mutes the higher tones

marsh saffron
#

I only tried foam for like 10m

polar girder
#

Yeah I want to try the foam

elfin garnet
#

im taking mine out rn

polar girder
#

I might not fuck with it until I get new switches tho

harsh dove
marsh saffron
#

I'll throw the foam im when I get home and see how I like it after a few days of use

polar girder
#

Yeah lmk

#

If you’re blown away I’ll just do it lol

marsh saffron
#

Ill also give nothing a try after foam

elfin garnet
#

no foam in alumaze not it. Sounds like im ringing a smell bell

harsh dove
#

What plate you using?

#

And do you have tape mod?

marsh saffron
#

Cam quick question does tape mod make a keyboard quieter or louder?

elfin garnet
#

pc and two layers of painters tape

harsh dove
#

Depends on what material you use for the mod as there’s a few to choose from. It basically makes the board sound poppier overall

harsh dove
#

I don’t remember mine being that pingy when I tried it without foam

#

I’ll have to test it again

elfin garnet
#

I hear it the most when im using keys towards the middle like if u form a circle between f-y-j-b

polar girder
#

I tape mod with moleskin

median spade
harsh dove
#

^

#

Moleskin

polar girder
#

Also have paper tape on top side of PCB

harsh dove
polar girder
#

IDK if that part is doing anything tho

marsh saffron
harsh dove
#

Friction mount would save you probs

elfin garnet
#

regular

harsh dove
#

Yeah

#

Do you have the materials to do burger or friction mount?

polar girder
#

Friction mount FTW

elfin garnet
#

im only using three screws, not sure if it would be better/worse if I used all of them

harsh dove
#

Which locations?

median spade
#

yeah you can do friction mount and that will be best you can do

elfin garnet
#

far left one on the accent piece, top left and top right

marsh saffron
#

Would you be able to gummy oring mount in stock case?

harsh dove
median spade
#

you could do friction mount in stock case

cedar gate
elfin garnet
#

i can try sec

marsh saffron
#

I think I might pickup a tofu and gummy mount it at some point

cedar gate
#

I can actually hear a diff

versed condor
#

if I'm going to be buying non backlit keycaps I should put the switches south facing right?

median spade
#

might as well

marsh saffron
versed condor
median spade
#

you know it's the superior way and how they're supposed to be

#

but that's about it

versed condor
#

alright ty then

marsh saffron
#

Yeah I don't really know the difference if there even is any

cedar gate
harsh dove
cedar gate
harsh dove
#

But don’t listen to me

#

If you’re happy

#

Don’t spend more money

#

While you’re at it, leave while you still can

#

lol

cedar gate
marsh saffron
#

/whatever case I decide on

elfin garnet
versed condor
#

or like the botton doesn't idk

marsh saffron
#

Wootings rgb is bright as hell so it probably doesn't matter

versed condor
marsh saffron
#

Speaking of wootings rgb, the black PC plate makes it look so good

elfin garnet
#

can you gummy mount with stock module stabs or do you need clip ins

cedar gate
polar girder
#

I can’t think of any reason other than just cuz to put them south facing

harsh dove
#

Need S-size instead of M-size

versed condor
# polar girder Why?

ive seen it somewhere typed or in a video I can't remember so I wanted to ask to be sure

polar girder
marsh saffron
#

Is the tofu redux in white just not for sale anymore?

polar girder
#

No plate foam tho

versed condor
#

I'll be going have a nice day/evening

harsh dove
polar girder
#

Yeah small ring wouldn’t hold it in place

elfin garnet
polar girder
#

Might change with the plate foam tho idk

elfin garnet
#

What I really like with no foam is that my alphas are more "there" - i can hear them better and they are not drowned by the spacebar

polar girder
#

My space bar fucks

harsh dove
polar girder
#

Yeah I have both the small and the medium ring, my stock stab module and a redux

solid plume
#

Anyone use glorious cables?

#

Just got mine in the mail in case I feel like swapping out the cable that came with my module

#

Glorious coiled*

fluid ravine
#

I think i saw a few

solid plume
#

I don’t want to brick my keyboard đŸ€žđŸŒ

#

In case these coiled cables are flawed

fluid ravine
stray tiger
#

I don't suggest stocks stabs and gummy orings. Very little room for error. I recommend clip-ins or plate mount.

polar girder
#

That’s the beauty of trial and error. Anyone can try it for themselves and see if it works out

steep wigeon
#

Anyone here mod IQUNIX keyboards?

polar girder
#

I’m just that good i guess

spiral anvil
#

I might regret this but I bought them jades

median spade
#

@harsh dove link me the moleskin you use it's only thing haven't tried yet so might as well

median spade
spiral anvil
median spade
polar girder
#

Yeah jades suck

#

Agreed

spiral anvil
polar girder
harsh dove
#

It’s enough to do 2 boards

#

And fits the width of the PCB

polar girder
#

Yeah it’s perfect

harsh dove
#

So basically just one cut

polar girder
#

That’s what I used thanks to Cam Rec

harsh dove
#

And if you have a sharp hole punch then you can punch out the screw holes

#

Or use scissors and make em ugly cause who cares

#

Or an xacto knife and cutting board

polar girder
#

Yeah that would’ve been smart

#

I have to take moleskin off to take plate off

#

Not ideal

#

And big reason why I’m waiting to put plate foam on cuz I’m scared the moleskin won’t stick second time dogekek

pastel vigil
harsh dove
#

Just pull slowly if it’s your first time removing it

#

I’ve removed mine at least 10+ times

median spade
#

not working at all for me at least

elfin garnet
#

didnt work for me neither until i downloaded it

polar girder
harsh dove
#

Cause it’s an apple m4a file

pastel vigil
# harsh dove What are you trying to use this for?

Okay so with my current setup, I have a set of Kraken headphones that use usb, I ONLY use these for chat, my actual game sound comes out from my speaker. Because it's USB item, the OS detects it as a device, and I'm able to manage it as such, so I've set it as the default "communication" device, and my speakers are otherwise my default sound for everything else. I want to get a headphone upgrade, but most of them use 3.5mm not usb, so am not sure if I can replicate this kind of setup or I'll be forced to go all in on the headset

austere creek
#

you can just setup 3.5mm audio devices to be default comm device as well

#

the audio management doesnt care if its usb or analog connected

pastel vigil
#

I hate this headset but I never had the time to look into replacing it and since it worked for my niche use I just kept it, so it will be nice to finally swap.

austere creek
#

if you hit win+r and put mmsys.cpl in it itll open the old sound settings panel which will even show you the disconnected 3.5mm ports

#

smth like this

spiral anvil
#

We audioing?

#

Ah I backread understand what going on

pastel vigil
# austere creek smth like this

Yup, this is exactly what I use to set up the configuration I have now. I have a million devices though so I never noticed the 3.5mm in there perhaps.

#

Realtek loves to give you 350 different listings for some reason

spiral anvil
#

So true

#

Audio interfaces my beloved

harsh dove
spiral anvil
#

But yea it should be possible to split the channels like that

#

How do you hear your speakers over your headset though?

#

@pastel vigil

pastel vigil
spiral anvil
#

So its openback?

pastel vigil
#

nope

spiral anvil
#

Weird

#

Whelp if it works it works

pastel vigil
#

My hearing is very sensitive

#

I just swapped my entire PSU out because the fans on it were driving me crazy. I would literally hear them from across the house. My friends think am crazy cuz they can barely hear it next to the PC lmao

spiral anvil
#

I prefer to audio interface to manage the volumes of the comms and game audio from one device but its personal preference

spiral anvil
#

Oh perfect

#

You should be able to adjust the comms volume and game audio volume to not overlap

pastel vigil
#

But it's a bit cursed because I have my laptop and desktop, and then I do different setups depending on if am gaming or recording. I'm getting tired of the constant plugging in and out everywhere so am trying to do a more permenant setup

fluid ravine
spiral anvil
pastel vigil
#

Also since it only has one 3.5mm output, I can't plug in a headset with a mic, hence the usb converter I linked at the beginning. Though I am considering buying a seperate mic and just using a normal headset.

spiral anvil
#

Yea having it split is nice

pastel vigil
spiral anvil
#

But 3.5mm should be able to take both mic and audio from the same line

pastel vigil
#

Yeah then I can have one XLR mic plugged in and one XLR guitar plugged in.

spiral anvil
#

Only balanced outs like 2.5mm or 4.4mm take only one or the other

pastel vigil
#

For PC it shows 2 instead of 1

spiral anvil
#

I'm tired and don't got the brain cells to help rn

#

Let me nap first

pastel vigil
#

PC Cable: 2.5 m PC cable, 2 x 3.5 mm splitTRS connector
Console Cable: 1.5 m console cable, 1 x 3.5 mm TRRS connector

harsh dove
#

What’s the question ?

spiral anvil
#

Specifically on 3.5mm

pastel vigil
#

Yeah, trying to have everything but game chat/comms come on speaker and chat on headset. But was wondering if it's better to buy a seperate mic and use a normal headset vs buying a a gaming headset for the microphone.

harsh dove
#

Yeah I just have an XLR mic and headset

#

With the 2i2

spiral anvil
median spade
#

m4a isn't the issue it's just not loading or playing at all at least for me

#

also jades are now back in and keyboard is good again

harsh dove
pastel vigil
median spade
#

tfw I already had moleskin on hand

harsh dove
#

Yes

median spade
#

shoutout for my gf from stopping me wasting $8

harsh dove
#

Yamaha HS7s

#

I also use a BEACN Audio Mixer

median spade
#

Moleskin is better than painters tape but it is still not for me

harsh dove
#

So no tape mods for you?

median spade
#

indeed

#

haven't like it every time i've tried it, and moleskin is no exception haha

harsh dove
#

What case you trying it in?

drifting bronze
#

Hello guys I have a question my build is going to be the tofu redux black with black PC plate and the lubed stabelizers and lekkers but the keycaps I don't know bc I have a iso layout wooting rn and I have abs keycaps from wooting should I buy new ones or just keep these ones

pastel vigil
elfin garnet
#

its all up to u g. Its whatever you like

#

If you like the stock keycaps, keep them. If not, look for something else

iron igloo
#

This video I'm watching said to put the rgb window south facing if you're not using back-lit keys. Is this really necessary and why?

polar girder
#

Doesn’t matter

#

Unnecessary

elfin garnet
#

Only reason to do it is if you have interference

polar girder
#

Yeah

elfin garnet
#

Which you probably dont

iron igloo
#

Good deal. I thought had something to do with the rgb being more visible idk. I'm gonna install mine north facing

drifting bronze
#

What is a good eu website for keycaps

elfin garnet
#

u can buy kbdfans pbt sets on maxgaming

harsh dove
drifting bronze
#

What is the difference between gmk and pbt

drifting bronze
#

What about these

#

These are pbt

#

Idk if these are good though

median spade
drifting bronze
#

Are those in iso layout?

#

But would my build still look good with the normal wooting keycaps a black tofu redux case and a black PC plate

harsh dove
elfin garnet
drifting bronze
#

Yeah but has the backlight iso abs keycaps from wooting

spiral anvil
#

Going to max my chinese pride

harsh dove
#

There’s a really good website called Keyboard University where you can learn a lot of this stuff

drifting bronze
#

Ah
Good to know and whats the difference in sound does pbt make it more lower pitched

harsh dove
spiral anvil
#

This is going to go so hard

drifting bronze
#

Looks clean

#

Really clean tbh

simple bane
#

hi! i just got a tofu 60 redux for my wooting but im having trouble putting the screws in

#

could anyone help me out?

#

i got the the left 2 and right 2 screws in but having trouble with the one by the spacebar

harsh dove
#

Do you have the standoffs installed?

simple bane
#

uhhh

#

i do not know what that is.

#

sorry, this is my first opening a keyboard

harsh dove
#

It elevates the screw hole height essentially

simple bane
#

ohhh

harsh dove
#

Should be gold colored standoffs

simple bane
#

do you have a video where its being installed

harsh dove
#

See those two gold colored standoffs

simple bane
#

ohhh

#

yeah i see them in the box

harsh dove
#

Yeah just screw one of those in near the spacebar

simple bane
#

ah ok ok

harsh dove
#

Don’t need the middle one

simple bane
#

oh so i dont need it?

#

the left 2 and right 2 are fine?

harsh dove
#

Yeah

#

It’s optional

#

I personally only use two screws in my builds

#

One top left and one top right

simple bane
#

ah okay

#

tysm

harsh dove
#

No problem

stray tiger
#

OK, you guys have convinced me to give the Salvation another try.

#

But I'll be keeping GMK Zooted on it because it looks great with purple. I'll report back later with my thoughts

brazen sparrow
#

what kind of mouse pad is that?

cedar gate
stray tiger
brazen sparrow
#

nice

harsh dove
#

He's gonna tell us all that it sucks and we're delusional

#

Love the green & purp btw

polar girder
#

Yeah that does look nice. Enjoy

stray tiger
fluid ravine
#

And yes I'm not afraid

#

😃

polar girder
#

Ew what

median spade
#

might just go plastic as I'm not in love with the gamer look wooting went for this time on the 80he case

harsh dove
#

Go zinc or ghost or both

quiet bay
#

both would be nice

#

since plastic has a huge discoubt

#

paired with the module

median spade
#

I like metal cases of cousre but that front lip thing they did kind of meh

#

but I also have no faith in 3rd party cases being made

quiet bay
#

lol

harsh dove
#

You should

polar girder
#

Yeah gotta buy them all

median spade
#

Just dont' see who would actually make a case for it

#

as the monetary incentive is like 0

#

like sure someone could design a case for it but they wouldn't make much money off it. Kbdfans just revamped the tofu and made a slider thing for the usb port was all

harsh dove
#

Yeah I get you

#

But I know someone

#

This thing is SO heavy now I love it

robust fiber
iron igloo
#

Tofu 60 redux

robust fiber
#

Do u have the brass weight

robust fiber
#

I wanna know if the brass is worth it

#

It’s £25

iron igloo
#

Yep! I got the weight. It adds quite a bit of weight to the whole thing. I didn't feel the whole setup without the weight in it, but the case is pretty hefty on its own

robust fiber
#

Any changes to acoustics?

#

if it’s just for weight and nothing else I won’t get it

#

Also what switches are those

iron igloo
#

Hmmm it's tough to say. I don't have a very keen ear, but I would think that the main way could affect acoustics would be lowering vibration or hollow sounds, and with the case being a little on the heavier side, I don't think it would be a night an day improvement.

iron igloo
robust fiber
#

o

#

quite expensive

#

I just went with the lekker switches

#

L45

iron igloo
#

Yeah around 60 on Amazon. I think the L45s are great too

robust fiber
#

L45 was ÂŁ17 for the full set

#

It’s gonna be a while

#

I felt sad when I realised I’ll have my uni exams and course works due when I recieve the keyboard

iron igloo
#

You can resist the temptation, I believe in you

#

I was in the middle of final construction on a main highway bridge the entire time I was building my pc a few weeks ago. I shouldve timed it better because I slacked a little at my job

robust fiber
iron igloo
#

Does the module come with any foam or anything like that? It's just the module right?

robust fiber
#

I think it comes with foam

#

It didn’t say it did

#

I asked someone here and they said it does

iron igloo
#

That's nice. The foam that came in the original case for mine was very nice. The tofu had one also but it was a lot thinner. I ended up just using the original foam

#

It's the first keyboard I've modded, so I was kinda just winging it and learning from YouTube and a friend

latent fern
#

i wish more companines used epdm foam like wooting does

robust fiber
#

I’ve never modded a keyboard

#

rn I’m using epomaker ek68

latent fern
#

that board is goated

robust fiber
#

never felt like i needed to mod or anything

#

Yeah got it on sale for ÂŁ60

#

insane price

I'm moving from a 915 tkl. Good keyboard but the wooting is a major upgrade for me

i was only able to fit one layer of pennies but it made the board sound more full and added some heft haha

#

i also tape modded it

robust fiber
#

very nice

iron igloo
#

Pennies could also be an option in the tofu too huh. That'd be cheaper than buying the weight

latent fern
iron igloo
#

Ah good idea

fluid ravine
latent fern
#

the weights added around 200g of extra weight

#

idk how much the brass weight weighs

fluid ravine
#

Acrylic is 0.4 kg

#

approximately btw

latent fern
#

ohh okay

#

i guess the wheel weights and the brass weights are in the same ballpark

iron igloo
#

So very comparable yeah

latent fern
#

the wheel weights costed me 8$ on amazon

iron igloo
#

You can't beat that

latent fern
#

the masking tape in the case also reduced case ping

#

looks ugly but it gets covered anyway ¯_(ツ)_/¯

iron igloo
#

Yeah you'll never see it, and thats a lot cheaper. Plus it's cool to add personal touch like that

#

I'm a little lazy, and honestly I didn't know there were hacks like that. I'm a sucker for convenience

latent fern
#

my quest for better sound outweighs my laziness haha

#

ive re-configured my wooting so many times

#

but thats the fun part

#

i think my quest has ended tho

fluid ravine
#

long or few months recently thonk

latent fern
#

what do we do now???

#

ive reached my "endgame"

#

in HE and non-HE boards

fluid ravine
#

like switches or whatever

#

but havent really dont much:/

#

the only recent thing ive done is just clean my keeb

#

aka earlier

latent fern
#

ohhhh i see

fluid ravine
#

I'm desperate to do smth :D

#

so bad pepecry

latent fern
#

yeah tinkering and messing around with your keyb is the best part

fluid ravine
#

and my dad hates that abt me back then

latent fern
#

what does he hate?

#

that you like tinkering with your keyboard?

fluid ravine
#

yeah

latent fern
#

what whyyy

fluid ravine
#

If knew me back from like a year ago

#

You would prob know me as the kid that tends to take in and out his keeb like multiple times everyday (like atleast 10+ times) for a few months straight

#

and the kid that keeps replacing his fking tempest mod and testing how many layers would affect the sound in the wooting

#

dogekek love the old days was fun

#

I should've done mroe configs now i think abt it mage

fluid ravine
latent fern
#

^^^

fluid ravine
#

I just pray it doesnt explode for no apparent reason lel

latent fern
#

my wooting pcb is definitely has a bit of scuffed paint

fluid ravine
#

Rabbit hole of keyboards modding

#

Alr ima dip now

#

Gn gn

latent fern
#

peace out yo

vale swan
#

otherwise unlikely

#

this cant be foamed up

latent fern
#

the leaf springs get in the way

vale swan
#

you can theoriticaly cut foam and put it around those

#

but i dont believe in that

#

this was designed like this and i feel like you are taking away its ability to shine

#

the mode envoy is also very soft like this but that one doesnt use leaf springs so you can mod it like a normal keyboard

#

tho the mode envoy does not have anything to offer for HE buyers

latent fern
#

the lattice block mounting is really cool

vale swan
#

yes its a 65

#

they also have the mode tempo

#

but thats not rlly a 60%

#

thats hhkb stuff

#

and it doesnt have a left aligned usb port anyway

#

tho thinking about this mode should do an envoy like case for the rakka and the wooting

#

that would easily beat the salvation because it can replicate the softness and shit but it would be cheaper and you could tune it way way more

vale swan
#

the 60HE is kinda at the end of itd hype train imo so i doubt they will

#

the 80HE is a much more acceptable layout for most casuals and it will sound much better than the stock 60HE ever could and even better than custom 60HEs using the lekkers

latent fern
#

ngl i considered waiting for the 80HE instead of buying a 60HE but i already have a 75% so i decided to get the 60HE since i didnt have a 60%

#

i’ve also never had a tofu so i wanted to try it out since the tofu is such an iconic board haha

vale swan
#

yeah for people that still want this layout its still good obviously especially if you mod it but the 80HE will sure be more popular

#

even after the founders campaign

elder hinge
#

Im debating the tofu 60 redux and the alumaze. Amy otger budget friendly cases for the wooting 60he+

#

Hello guys! I’ve ordered some gateron jades for my wooting. Has anyone got these and is it just a case of straight swapping or is there anything else I need to take into account? A friend mentioned they might not be compatible with the stock stabilisers?

plain marsh
#

Does anyone know a good site that does customizable keycap sets?

#

right now what ive found is goblintechkeys, yuzukeycaps and thock factory

If you are using some rndom keycaps you might have issues, but with stock keycaps you will be fine.

@hard wraith got em myself too đŸ—Łïž

hard wraith
vale swan
#

i hope so too

#

curious how these will sound

#

i know they'll be less high pitched but by how much less is the real question

vale swan
#

95 and they dont even include 40s kit and numpad

#

GMK for 140 includes all of that

hard wraith
#

lol

vale swan
#

yeah

#

bold choice to price match with GMK

#

Drop DCX is the cheapest out of the 3 but the only set from them i like is Hyperfuse

#

hopefully they process the order fast, with DHL express it should be here by monday

vale swan
#

@hard wraith how is the holy60 btw lmao

#

does it really sound trash

hard wraith
#

I’ll give you a listen later when I’m home, but I don’t really think it sound trash, it just isn’t the best sound wise

vale swan
#

nice

#

you got jades in there yeah?

hard wraith
#

But it just looks so cool

hard wraith
vale swan
#

i did hear it with the open bottom switches and it was garbage, tho it was the case in the tofu too

vale swan
# hard wraith

shame those cookie keycaps dont match the white of the holy60 in that lightning but they look cool

#

hopefully i like them on the carbon fiber plate, i don't wanna try to change plates again

hard wraith
vale swan
#

well

#

to me it did

#

atleast by comparison with the jades

hard wraith
vale swan
hard wraith
vale swan
#

oh they did round up the corners on this

#

you cant slice your fingers open anymore yay

hard wraith
#

Lmao

vale swan
#

as a not so very proud owner of 2 tofu's

#

i welcome this change

#

i'dve picked up the holy60 but the whole cool factor of the holes would go away as soon as I did a soundtest or saw the dust

vale swan
ocean onyx
#

Hey, quick question, are all the tofu cases metal except the white acrylic one?

hard wraith
vale swan
#

I might try PC again with these new keycaps

#

GMK spacebar was ass on pc plate with the jades for me

#

the pbt in that case was better

#

curious how these will stack up

#

if you add the 40's and numpad kit along side the base they cost more than GMK, i just checked rn

hard wraith
#

Idk I only have pom and fr4 for the 60he

vale swan
#

i have fr4 cf and 2x pc

hard wraith
#

i did buy a cf, but the seller gave me the normal 60% with out them holes for the stand off

vale swan
#

oh damn

#

if you wanna try CF again tho I prob would not do that in the holy60, try the kbdfans plates

#

they are on aliexpress

#

when you do the sound test it'd be fun to compare it against GMK or pbtfans pbt atleast the spacebars

#

im a spacebar guy so if the spacebar hits there is a 99% chance i'll like it

crisp void
#

hey newb here how can i help with noise as a unexperianced modder

#

ive replaced the casing but thats about it

velvet egret
#

Lube your switches

hard wraith
#

you could swap plates, switches, stabs, caps, add faom, differnet type of foam could also contribute to the sounds

crisp void
#

what can i use as lube if i dont have access to lube currently

hard wraith
crisp void
#

as well as do i add foam under the plate or in-between keys and plate?

hard wraith
#

you are using lekker right?

crisp void
#

yes

hard wraith
#

yeah, you could lube it or just swap out for some jades

crisp void
#

what does that mean

#

newb here remeber lol

hard wraith
#

magnetic jades is a switch

#

keyboard switch

crisp void
#

i se

hard wraith
#

that is not made by wooting

crisp void
#

where can i get and do they funtion the same

hard wraith
#

it sounds better

crisp void
#

i see

#

link? or is it typically sold via third party?

hard wraith
hard wraith
crisp void
#

sweet and they do have the same function as the lekker like the rapid aspect?

hard wraith
#

yes

plain marsh
#

does anyone know about the quality of goblintechkeys keycaps?

crisp void
#

sweet thanks alot

hard wraith
#

I mean if that's expensive, you would be shocked to hear about how much switches cost in the world of custom keyboard

harsh dove
#

Vintage Nixies like $7-10 per switch

#

for u

leaden pawn
#

guys, what keycap format fits 60he+? i've seen there are a lot of them, not sure what "format" means

#

i mean keycap profiles, like Cherry, XDA, OEM, SA, OSA. do they differ from each other in terms of compatibility? or any will fit?

little glen
#

and ofc as long as you use ansi keycaps on an ansi layout and iso keycaps on an iso layout

#

cant use ansi enter on iso

mint oracle
mint oracle
#

With OEM and the wobbly lekker switches I would get accidental presses grazing keys or accidentally activating at low actuations.

With the Cherry profile keycaps and the raptor he with lekker 60 stem mod I can run 0.1mm actuations and not get accidental presses

leaden pawn
mint oracle
#

This was before i finished the stem swap

leaden pawn
#

what i've looking at so far is tofu 60 redux + 60he + some blank pbt cherry keycaps

mint oracle
#

Two weeks later confirming its great

#

I mod for in-game performance, not so much aesthetics since i never look at my keyboard lol

#

I guess people mod the case to get various colors and some slight sound differences? I think the switches are the more enjoyable experience upgrade

harsh dove
#

Cases can make your board feel more premium and alter sound but switches are everything

i always get the short end of the stick

harsh dove
#

lol damn

vale swan

these fuckers dont even include numpad kits split spacebars

#

and shit like that

#

if u add those

#

they cost more than GMK

#

LOL

harsh dove
#

Yeah kinda makes you realize GMK is better value lol

vale swan
#

DCX is better value

harsh dove
#

That too

vale swan
#

it includes the same shit GMK does at half the price

harsh dove
#

Haven’t tried their stuff tho

vale swan
#

i havent either

#

candykeys added drop dcx shit on their site but i only noticed after i ordered these

#

still tho i would've bought these

#

they look good and i wanna try their take on it

#

as its deeper than GMK but as deep as pbt

#

@harsh dove thoughts?

harsh dove
#

I like hyperfuse, skiidata, and emerald from DCX

#

That’s a thick boi case

vale swan
#

ye

#

keycaps are fire tho

vale swan
#

i call em oreos

harsh dove
#

Funny cause I used to love Oreos and cookies n cream, I don’t like or hate these keycaps

pastel vigil

I am waiting for a happy hour on duel shocks đŸ™đŸ»

$65 for a GMK base set is đŸ”„

harsh dove
#

Yeah

vale swan
#

indeed

harsh dove
#

Had to grab it

#

Plus it’s something I can vibe with

vale swan
#

i can vibe with it too but i dont think i should be expanding my keycap collection

#

as low as possible is great for these things normally

harsh dove
#

I wanna be like thockfather and be able to hook homies up with stuff I have lol

vale swan
#

lmfaooo

harsh dove
#

I already do that with pc parts

#

Now keyboards

stray tiger
#

I just already have like 4-5 purple keycap sets lol but for $65 its an insta cop

vale swan
#

how many sets do u actually have lmao

#

i think i have like 6 total

stray tiger
#

Total? 40-50 maybe

vale swan

vale swan
#

ye ig

polar girder
#

I mean I’m fucking gold in ow But I’ve spent enough time energy and money on PC and peripherals you’d think my life depended on it lol

vale swan
#

i just think back

#

on how this all started

#

with a lonely unsuspecting 60he in a plastic case with RGB

#

and now its in a 400 eur case with 180 eur keycaps

#

kinda crazy

pastel vigil
#

Lmfao

#

Heard

vale swan
#

not only that

#

i spent another 120 on new caps today

vale swan
polar girder
#

Yeah I was just talking to@someone about the last time I played rocket league

#

When I only had an Xbox

#

Then proceeded to recount the 4 different PC’s I’ve built in the past 2 years after that point lol

nah

#

too late

he at our age didnt have the tech and the knowledge we have rn

#

so we are even more dangerous

agile grove
#

do dcx caps shine?

harsh dove
#

They are abs

#

So yeah

vale swan
agile grove
#

I more meant how long do they take to shine mb

hard wraith
vale swan
#

u already made me buy a keycap set

#

stop right there

#

criminal scum

hard wraith
#

imma make you buy more

vale swan
#

that looks like PBT

#

and i dont claim PBT

hard wraith
#

thats GMK Shoko but ok

vale swan
#

is it

#

those dont look like gmk legends to me

hard wraith
#

idk my friend gave them to me, never used them

vale swan
#

those look like clones

#

lmao

hard wraith
#

i dont even have that keybopard anymore

vale swan
#

what keyboard was that

hard wraith
#

i forgot

vale swan
#

either way looks good

#

one thing for sure is you can take a good picture

#

unlike me

hard wraith
#

lmao

vale swan
#

tho i never put time into that

median spade
#

those are in fact clones

vale swan
#

yeah i thought so

median spade
#

can tell by legends, color is off

vale swan
#

i looked at the FN key

#

and i knew GMK would never do smth so sloppy

median spade
#

backspace and caps lock allways the indicators

vale swan
#

ye

#

those too

#

hmm ight lemme google the set then so i dont get the wrong take on it

median spade
#

lighting of coures, but shoko looks more muted irl

vale swan
#

oh my god

median spade
#

should have known just on the mod kit lmao KEKW

vale swan
#

thats a huge diff

hard wraith
#

damn

vale swan
#

usually i just look at the legends

median spade
#

Like I'm sure your friend is nice

#

but he's not going to give you a $150 set for free

vale swan
#

im not too good with colors anywayss

vale swan
hard wraith
median spade
#

here is another pic with the default mod legends and not mod kit

vale swan
#

idk why but i hate light blue

agile grove
#

tbh I like the actual shoko more

#

those clones are too bright

vale swan
#

yeah i do too

#

clones are trash this is still meh

median spade
#

shokos always supposed to be a icy inspired set

#

so y eah seeing that clone be neon is lol

vale swan
#

yeah i was abt to say

#

u need like an icey color

#

case

#

for this to work imo

#

im sure now that i ssaid it, they will make a tofu just like that

agile grove
hard wraith
#

@vale swan i finally recorded Holy60 sound test

#

it doesnt sound that bad imo. That spacebar thoemoji_52

#

the spacebar sound like ass

vale swan
#

ight lets see

#

dude those keycaps look insane

#

i did good listening to u

#

hmm the spacerbar atleast on the mic seems ight to me

#

i actually kinda like

#

if you had GMK alphas but the absfans spacebar it'd work perfectly imo

#

there is reeasonance tho which is interesting

median spade
#

it's not awful which is interesting but you're also a light typer

vale swan
#

yeah i hammer those keys a lot

median spade
#

alexotos build of it was downright no good

vale swan
#

he did use lekkers

median spade
#

what plates and switches?

vale swan
#

this is using jades

median spade
#

ah

vale swan
#

pom and jades iirc

median spade
#

yeah that same build with my typing would be terrible KEKW

vale swan
#

now the spacebar when you spam it across its not that good but im not happy with mine in the salvation either when you spam it

median spade
#

yee

vale swan
#

lmaooo

median spade
#

I type about 150+ wpm so it just comes with it

vale swan
#

ye i feel ya

#

i dont type that fast but i hammer the keys for sure

#

especially the spacebar

marsh saffron
#

I only type like 110-120 but also hammer the keys

median spade
#

these are my tests with he stuff for example

hard wraith
#

i game a little using this, and i do spam the spacebar when i game

#

it sounds bad

vale swan
median spade
#

Yeah not surprised with how the case is jsut open essentially

marsh saffron
#

I just recently got my spacebar to be pleasantly tolerable đŸ€Ł

hard wraith
vale swan
#

i might switch to fr4 again to complement the added lower pitch from those new upcoming keycaps and even with gmk the spacebar was better on fr4 i think tho the alphas and backspace were worse

#

so idk

median spade
#

gmk spacebar do be the best

#

main reason i hate pbt actually is just the spacebars

vale swan
#

part of my problem is that im using no deskpad either

hard wraith
#

but it looks really cool, and i dont intend on typing on the wooting if i got my boba u4t here

vale swan
median spade
#

yeah im same boat where my 60he just for gaming

vale swan
#

now i ordered pbtfans abs which is slightly deeper than gmk actually which should be interesting

median spade
#

and typing i have my 4 customs

vale swan
#

i type and game on this cuz im too lazy to buy new stabs and assemble the wt60 pcb

#

lmao

median spade
#

that's fair

#

i also have seperate work desk

vale swan
#

i'll do it later

median spade
#

so that is why too and i would never type on a 60he for work KEKW

#

it's not bad but far from good for all day typing

vale swan
#

i have a 180x80 desk where i do everything

median spade
#

70x70 that is a dining room table lol

hard wraith
median spade
#

like that is so deep

hard wraith
#

i be typing random letter

median spade
#

as im assuming you mean 180cmx180cm yeah?

vale swan
#

i use a oled TV as my monitor so i needed the depth

vale swan
#

not 180x180

median spade
#

oh that makes more sense

vale swan
#

ye

#

180x180 would be ridiculous

hard wraith
vale swan
#

even for a tv monitor

median spade
#

i had that for one of my old desks when i was rocking a ultrawide and 5' bookshelf speakers
