[cedar gate]

Because if it is its super convenient fr me

[latent fern]

can you link it?

[cedar gate]

Sure

https://kbdfans.com/collections/case/products/tofu60-redux-case?variant=41472688193675

The one that says gatreon Magnetic orange linear switch

BTW the best plate ks20u is fr4 right or polycarb?

[latent fern]

they arent the ks20u

this is what kbdfans is offering

this is the ks20u

i dont know all the difference but the ks20u has a white bottom with dual rails i believe

[solid plume]

Takes some getting used to as the keys are very sensitive with actuation points

[surreal stirrup]

you can decrease the key sensitivity for a typing profile. definitely recommend it if you tend to rest your fingers on your keys while typing

[solid plume]

I tend to rest my fingers on keys while playing “WASD”

Noticed I was moving forward when not wanting to

lol

So I’m trying all different actuation points

[marsh saffron]

i just forced myself to get used to not pressing at all while i rest on wasd

after a week or two i was able to use 0.1 actuation and still rest on wasd without accidental inputs

[magic flume]

hey can i get some help with buying keyboard parts for 60he module

[polar girder]

buy module, case, switches and keycaps

[spiral anvil]

I just do .2mm since .1mm is annoying for a lot of games

[quaint garnet]

anyone know of any poly cases preferably with a brass weight that support wooting 60?

[pastel vigil]

Poly?

[quaint garnet]

poly carbonate

[pastel vigil]

Tofu Acrylic is the closest I can think off

[magic flume]

you sure thats it ?

[polar girder]

what else?

[magic flume]

idk lol

[hidden pond]

Sorry for interrupting, what kind of mounting system are you guys using for your boards?

[latent fern]

thats all you need haha

[latent fern]

regular tray mount

[hidden pond]

I'm torn between burger and o-ring

[agile grove]

gummy mount imo

[latent fern]

just as a disclaimer, gummy o-ring will not give you a bouncy typing feel

[pastel vigil]

try both

[hidden pond]

True

[latent fern]

its kinda annoying disassembling a gummy o-ring too

[agile grove]

not rlly

if you have foam plate insert maybe at first

[latent fern]

whats the proper way to take out your plate and pcb in gummy o-ring?

maybe im just doing it wrong

[robust fiber]

anyone play valorant?

[agile grove]

imo the best way is to take a switch puller and pull on the plate in-between the 4 keys on each side of the spacebar (super and L alt, r alt and menu).

[robust fiber]

Do u get accidental presses on 0.2mm

[marsh saffron]

i dont on 0.1

[robust fiber]

I thought people used like 0.6

[spiral anvil]

No

[latent fern]

i use 0.2

[spiral anvil]

But I have 52g springs

[robust fiber]

I ordered L45

[marsh saffron]

on l60s i dont get accidental inputs on 0.1

[spiral anvil]

Yea its just nicer on .2mm for me

[robust fiber]

I have to wait til mid may for my keyboard

Idk when my case is arriving either

[hidden pond]

What type of gummy ring are you rocking

[stray tiger]

I use a switch puller and grab the little circle to the right of the space bar. That way you don't risk bending or breaking a switch cut out

[fluid ravine]

Indeed, it naturally doesn't give you a bouncy typing feel, but you can make it happen

[fluid ravine]

Personally, when I was using plate foam with gummy mount I had a hard time getting it in and out, but at the time i just took out 2 switches from the bottom row like windows key and right ctrl, and pulled up both sides with my thumb

this was with PC plate ofc, like Pops said, dont wanna risk bending or breaking a switch cut out, even worst, the plate

[fluid ravine]

So I run with no plate foam at all, prefer the sound and how much easier it is to take in and out

[solid plume]

What do you guys think

[latent fern]

sounds like a keyboard to me

[median spade]

I think you should use that yeti to record instead of your phone

Or whatever mic that is

[signal crypt]

you guys think there's a chance jade switches will ever get dual rail version?

[latent fern]

not impossible

maybe like a recolor

[signal crypt]

dug through the net and all and figured jades have slight wobble and think i can be patient enough, kinda want their bottom out aspects without having to deal with wobble and buying them twice 😅

[latent fern]

there isnt a switch with 0% wobble

[signal crypt]

i bet

[latent fern]

i feel like the jades have minimal wobble

nice pfp byw

[signal crypt]

it's awfully noticeable on lekkers so kind of desire minimum of it

thanks

[latent fern]

yeah i agree

the jades have significantly less wobble

[glacial wind]

realistically dual rail vs no dual rail doesn't matter

some of the tightest switches right now don't have dual rail at all

if you want even tighter than current jades i'm not sure you're going to find much beyond maybe buying raptors and stem swapping lekkers where it's actually that fraction too tight

are you using jades right now already and find them not tight enough?

[signal crypt]

nah I am considering getting them

[glacial wind]

oh then just buy them if wobble is your worry. Jades aren't wobbly at all

[signal crypt]

just read that they have slightly more wobble over raptors I think?

[glacial wind]

nah that's not true at all

[signal crypt]

but seems like they're fine after all

[glacial wind]

i have both. Jades are far tighter

raptors are only tighter if you do the stem swap thing but then it's actually too tight and there's a slight artificial tight feel when you push down

[signal crypt]

can't win huh

😂

[glacial wind]

well it's more that jades are already tight enough

i can't imagine wanting them tighter, they're already good

once you go past a certain point then you're just creating a switch that's going to feel 'stuck' sometimes like a raptors with stem swap

[signal crypt]

jades it is then, do you maybe have ks-20us too and/or know how they compare in this aspect?

[glacial wind]

nah don't have ks20u, but they're fairly similar from all reports of stem tightness

[signal crypt]

gotcha

[glacial wind]

mainly just have to decide if you want 3.5mm travel + sharper sound vs ks20u sound and 4mm travel

[signal crypt]

yea mostly interested in 3.5 travel

sound is icing on cake

[latent fern]

yeah i love shorter travel switches

the jades are probably the best HE switch out rn

the stock spring is a little light so i spring swapped it

[indigo ibex]

do the switch pads included with aftermarket plates effect pretravel like they say they will?

cuz ive seen a few people in here with switch pads on their mod list, but also people saying it doesnt work..

so im a bit confused

[drifting bronze]

Should it be possible to make my wooting sound good with the stock case and PC plate and lube

And with good I mean without rattle

And thocky

Becouse friends of mine told me it was almost impossible

[half summit]

[lapis jasper]

Hey everyone, just looking for a little clarification on the 60HE PC ISO plate. I just wanted to check I've understood correctly before ordering that the standoff in-between enter and backspace is in a different position on the newer ISO 60HE+ plate/PCB vs the older ISO HE60 PCB? Are the standoffs moulded in to the PC plate or are they screwed in separately?

[bronze grove]

What do you have currently?

A 60HE? A 60HE Module? A 60HE+?

[frigid lodge]

Hey which foam should I use? The stock silicone or the poron?

[bronze grove]

https://tenor.com/view/preference-glarses-mx-brown-cherry-mx-brown-keyboard-gif-21044520

[frigid lodge]

But which one sounds better

https://tenor.com/view/excited-too-much-energy-shaking-gif-22511742

(but seriously, no one has demos comparing the two, and I'm too tired to unscrew everything again lol

[gray shoal]

Was shoed away from tech talk, not a wooting product but figured I’d ask don’t want to be castrated.

Anyone know if Boog 75 module fits in other cases besides zoom 75? Can’t find a list like there is for 60HE compatibility. Milky Green is a little too neon green for me.

Want an olive color case that will work for an HE board. Trying To finish a 3 keyboard collection for these keycaps, 80HE is the 2nd one and is going to be my black case.

[lapis jasper]

My 60HE is an ISO one from the first batch that moved over to the ARM chip on the PCB at the end of 2022

No holes in the PCB for stabs, plate mount only on my board

[bronze grove]

Then this bit is for you. Basically the standoff near the enter/backspace cannot be screwed in, and will flex slightly.

Personally I never noticed this being an issue through months of testing.

[lapis jasper]

Yeah I read that part. It’s just a bit ambiguous if it will fit at all and I wanted to check 🙂

[drifting bronze]

So the PC plate wil fit in the 60he+

And should it be possible to make the lekkers Less rattle and the stabelizers to and make them a bit deeper

[stray tiger]

Not possible

[stray tiger]

PC plate will fit but won't change the function of your switches or stabs

[drifting bronze]

So lube does the job?

Bc I can get mods for about 80 euro and then I can still get the 3080

[glacial wind]

mounting differences mean you won't find compatible cases for the most part

it's a unique situation with 60% cases where a ton of them are tray mount with same mounting setup. with 75%/80%/full size etc the mounting is different so case swapping isn't really a thing outside of niche scenarios

[gray shoal]

Cool thanks I’ll reach out to the producing company ask if they have plans for more colors in the future then and hold off.

[cedar gate]

For wooting imo poron because it makes the weird magnet sound more subtle where silicone makes it less subtle @frigid lodge

BTW for ks20u is polycarbonate better or fr4

[wind karma]

isn't that preference?

i don't mean to sound like a jerk

[loud zephyr]

if only this artisan was a keycap set; the Holy60 compressed https://shop.atelieraxiom.com/products/rk-01-blanc

https://shop.atelieraxiom.com/cdn/shop/files/Blancv1.png?v=1700625923&width=1100

[hard wraith]

damn boi that look so good

[loud zephyr]

pretty neatttt

[wind karma]

how flexible is the wooting PC plate

[loud zephyr]

timestamped https://youtu.be/uz9pTOLbeos?t=165

[median spade]

Somehow you picked the one color of like 30 they don’t have

[wind karma]

ah

[gray shoal]

Well even then for the HE module you can only use case with no knob or screen

[topaz herald]

Holy 60 so goated

would you say it is clacky

[hard wraith]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[topaz herald]

where did you find this

[hard wraith]

You can check out the sound test i did

[topaz herald]

thank you so much for this what a blessing

[loud zephyr]

product link is above the pic

[topaz herald]

i had a question

what does iirc stand for

[hard wraith]

"if i remember correctly"

[topaz herald]

thank you

[median spade]

I mean you could but why? The stock foam pretty dense and feels up the case

[frigid lodge]

Yeah, I just switched them, and I can tell haha

Also I dropped a screw down here, wish me luck finding it

As soon as I post about it, I find it lol

[obtuse fossil]

isa it okay to film the switches ? i ordered the raptor he switches im gonna use the lekker stems with the raptor switches i was curious if i could film the switches ?

[stray tiger]

Anything is ok, but filming them would be a waste of time and money

[frigid lodge]

The v2 lekkers have super tight tolerances. So do the raptor switches I'm using

[harsh dove]

Oh, you have the V2’s already?

[frigid lodge]

I ordered a Wooting 2 for my better half, and it comes with the v2s

no stem wobble, really

[harsh dove]

Interesting, last I checked the V2’s only come with the 80HE and then later on for the other wooting boards

[frigid lodge]

Yeah, IDK. they seem like really nice switches now

[harsh dove]

I have a strong feeling those are v1s

[frigid lodge]

weren't those really bad with wobble though?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[frigid lodge]

Yeah, these actually feel nice to use

I was thinking about trying out the yellow lekkers at some point when I have cash again

[median spade]

i did not join the founders campaign

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/get-out-leave-gif-5785321051025239919

[median spade]

the perks for me didn't do anything lol

[elfin garnet]

Me neither. Dont need a bigger keyboard

[median spade]

I have no use for free l45s

[harsh dove]

You didn’t wanna try the new switches?

Revamped*

[median spade]

I mean I can just buy it anytime and will have those now too

[harsh dove]

Doesn’t make you as cool

https://tenor.com/view/shake-my-head-mark-philips-rdcworld1-disappointed-nope-gif-12480911180809665866

[median spade]

but yeah a free pack of L45 was like well this will rot in a drawer or something lol

[harsh dove]

They won’t rot

They’re plastic

[median spade]

I was just about to say that lol

[harsh dove]

Hehe

[vale swan]

gaslightin

@median spade think abt it like this, we are more financially responsible than him!

[median spade]

I wouldn’t say that

In my case

[harsh dove]

They’re free lol

If bought during founders campaign

[median spade]

I imagine the lekker v2 are just wahtever tolerances they made better on jades but open bottom

since the stem is the same

[harsh dove]

I mean that’s what I imagine, which in a weird way makes me sad but I still wanna try them lol

[drifting bronze]

Are switch filmS a must or a plus to sound

[median spade]

See the answer you were given before

[agile grove]

good evening keyboard modding chat

[harsh dove]

Negative chief

Switch films are really for MX switches

[glossy pagoda]

Did you just assume my timezone?

[median spade]

Yeah what the heck man

[agile grove]

yes

[median spade]

It's mid afternoon!!

[harsh dove]

Yeah it’s not evening

Good morning

[glossy pagoda]

Well you were right, it's evening here

[median spade]

Still he assumed smh

imagine miss time zoning you

[drifting bronze]

Bro? U okay it's just a question u know idk if 22 euro is worth spending on a switch film is it that hard to give a response in ur opinion

[glossy pagoda]

It's 5 oclock somewhere 😄

[harsh dove]

Huh

[median spade]

[harsh dove]

It’s not

[agile grove]

switch films dont really do much on HE switches

[median spade]

We've just had those same 3 dudes lately asking the same questions for 2 weeks on end now lol

[drifting bronze]

Okay thank u that's what I was looking for

[agile grove]

I was going to say good afternoon but that just sounded off

[median spade]

Fair point

[drifting bronze]

And damn u stept out of bed with the wrong foot

[median spade]

I can't tihnk of many times I've said good afternoon

[drifting bronze]

This is the first time I'm going to mod a fucking keyboard and I have some questions and ? Is it that hard for u to say yes or no but no u go out of ur way and say See the answer that we given u before damn i just asked it to some more experienced people what there opinion was

[vale swan]

i meant the 80he itself

[median spade]

Huh

[vale swan]

wait what

[glossy pagoda]

Bud you need to take a deep breath and relax, nobody here is trying to cause trouble except yourself

[vale swan]

^

[stray tiger]

Ive been replying to you a lot of the last week or two and there are no issues asking a ton of questions, I encourage it, but continuing to ask "Is it worth doing X?" "Is X better than Y" or "Should I spend the money for X?" are all questions that no one can answer for you. As Ive mentioned, what you like might not be what I like and what I hate may not be what you hate. I can't tell what you should do.

Also, a lot of the question you have asked are addressed in the FAQ, which has been linked for you a a few times already.

Q. Do I need to film my switches and which films do I need to buy?

A. Films are primarily used to fill the gap between the top and bottom switch housing and reduce "housing wobble" but the Lekker switches typically have very tight housings and most users do not experience an issue with wobble. There are currently no confirmed films designed for the Lekker’s and while some users have been able to cut and modify films to fit the Lekker switches, the results have been mixed. The most common issue with currently available films is that they do not fit correctly around the Lekkers larger slider rails. This results in the films becoming “bowed” or “warped” and increases the potential for poor film installation.

[vale swan]

i actually read all of that

You are damn good at this

[stray tiger]

I editted it 3 times for typos and still found some so I said screw it. I suck with mobile phone keyboards.

[vale swan]

also did u ever try the salvation again?

[vale swan]

i meant helping

[median spade]

Yeah he did steel plate however

and so it sounded pretty pingy haha

[vale swan]

steel plate?

[median spade]

spacebar wasw being weird too

[vale swan]

did he try the 60he or an MX pcb?

[median spade]

a 60he with jades

he+

[stray tiger]

It had 2 very loose leaf springs on the left side lol. When I removed the old PCB it must have really loosed them because I could twist them with my fingers

[median spade]

Ahhh thats what it was

Happens a lot on salvation for some reason

Mine does it periodically

[vale swan]

i changed out all the screws on mine

never did that again

i would not go above carbon fiber for the salvation

FR4 is a good middle ground but the bottom row besides spacebar sucks imo

I mount mine with just the 2 top mounting points

i dont use the 2 on the sides

[stray tiger]

Yep. I took it apart and tightened them down really good. If it happens again I'll throw on some loctite. I went ahead and swapped the switches over to some lubed L45's and reassembledsthe stock board as it'll be given away during Keycon. Then I ordered a new module/pc plate which should be here this week.

[vale swan]

i see

Try it with Carbon Fiber or FR4

u're gonna like it a lot more

Steel is just not it in alu cases imo

Did you also try tape mod?

me and cam use 1 layer of it with no foam in our salvations

[median spade]

only time steel works is gasket mount

and the plate being heavily isolated from the rest of the case

[vale swan]

i didnt mind steel in the stock case

[stray tiger]

I didnt do any mods. When the module gets here I'll try again with the Jades (I'll be lubing a new set this week) and then I can try a few different mods. My goal is to have 3-4 great but different sounding boards for Keycon along side some stock and stock tuned boards.

[vale swan]

tho overall out of the plates I used, carbon is my fav

[median spade]

yeah foam, and plastic eats a lot of the resonnance and bright tones that come with steel

so it's not bad in the stock case

[vale swan]

sounds good

What config of the 60he do you actually main

just curious thats all

[median spade]

the one he feels like that morning

[vale swan]

feel wise salvation easily wins but honestly that carbon fiber gummy o ring tofu is pretty damn good

typing on the salvation is way better tho

[vale swan]

it is like that huh

[stray tiger]

It changes weekly it seems. Last week and this week its been the Noxary case, with Kanketsu caps and Frankenraptors. Its a really muted sound and feel that Im enjoying a lot.

[vale swan]

i feel ya

I might change my config again as my pbtfans abs caps will arrive soon and those are deeper than GMK

[median spade]

That noxary case was the x60 yeah?

[vale swan]

might try PC Plate again or go for Carbon once again

[harsh dove]

Bottom row alphas and spacebar is kinda weird on FR4

In the salvation

[stray tiger]

I did buy a second Frog mini and will be giving it another shot this week/weekend with as POM plate and some Jades

[vale swan]

i like the spacebar tbh

[harsh dove]

Yeah it’s not bad

It’s just “different”

[vale swan]

did you try the frog mini?

[stray tiger]

T60

[median spade]

[harsh dove]

It’ll be here today

[vale swan]

right i forgot different timezones

honestly i love how low the frog mini is and stuff

i kinda wish i picked it up

[stray tiger]

I tried it like 2 years ago with an aluminum plate and L60's and it wasnt my jam. I sold the plate but kept the board. Now I've got another coming but trying some different options

[median spade]

I tried to get a black one and impossible to get now

for frog mini

since geon stopped producing them

[harsh dove]

Yeah they’re pretty OoS everywhere

[vale swan]

ye i could only find silver

[vale swan]

damn

[median spade]

Yeah black was only for the first run of frogs

frog mini*

[harsh dove]

I think cafege has the last remaining silver ones

[vale swan]

yep

[median spade]

did geon sell otu on his site?

[harsh dove]

Not sure

[vale swan]

i mean i wouldnt mind any color besides silver

silver sucks for me

[harsh dove]

I don’t own silver so perfect for me

[median spade]

oh cafege price is scam

cam got the hookup from me

[harsh dove]

Yeah + $80 chipping

For me

[median spade]

[vale swan]

ye cafege price is a bit interesting

[harsh dove]

Lmao

[median spade]

yeah mini sold out on geon

all these 60he owners man

[vale swan]

i thought everyone was poor bro

now everyone is rich

fucking hell

[median spade]

it's the people who lurk and operate in silence

[rancid geode]

Hello guys i got a question ! I made a custom of my keyboard with Tofu 60 and custom cable but i got problems with some keys when i press the letter Z cause my keyboard is Azerty sometimes it doesn't work so when i want to move but i press another button like spell on Valorant i stop moving and i need to stop press z and press again to move. And it's the same with my T sometimes when i talk in game it's not working when press in continue please help me !

[median spade]

not kidding as I got 4 dms from people who haven't posted here

[vale swan]

it has to be

we should gatekeep our secrets

[median spade]

and they were like "i saw you used frog mini with 60he"

[vale swan]

[stray tiger]

I need a silver board, pretty much the only color I dont have, but it'll happen.

[median spade]

[vale swan]

i have 2 silver boards but they are old and they made me hate the color silver

[loud tiger]

I have these switches but idk if they are compatible on the wooting

[median spade]

I have one silver board which is my Haus

[loud tiger]

Keyvaos*

Keycaps*

Not switches

[vale swan]

keycaps will work 100%

[loud tiger]

The switches were too big for my hyperx keyboard

[vale swan]

you cant put HE switches in an MX pcb

Leg me edit that

[vale swan]

why is it always the cheap keycaps with cool designs

[loud tiger]

I have these Keycaps

[median spade]

unless it's the new keychron some how

they allow for mx and he pretty neat

[loud tiger]

But they are too big for my hyperx tkl keyboard

[vale swan]

wait what

[median spade]

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q1-he-qmk-wireless-custom-keyboard

yeah this one

[vale swan]

u can plug HE and MX in the same pcb!

?

[cedar gate]

No i mean what's the difference in sound

[median spade]

unless they just copy pasted wrong

[vale swan]

they must've

[median spade]

akko's he board is the same tho

you can do he and mx in it

[vale swan]

tho it would be crazy

to have both a normal q1

and he if u want to

that'd be crazy

absolutely mental if they did

[median spade]

it probably is as the Akko mod he can do both

[vale swan]

south facing leds interesting

[pastel vigil]

Can you mix and match at the same time or only do all HE or all MX?

[stray tiger]

Must be a typo because that picture doesnt show a PCB with 3/5pin sockets

[median spade]

Yeah that was also my thoughts

as the picture is HE only

[vale swan]

i mean even if you cant, you can probably order a Q1 plate and pcb and put them in here

and just hotswap the modules

that's still pretty neat imo

[median spade]

easily

[vale swan]

keychron is good

i hope they offer like a barebones, i really hate their stock caps

[median spade]

they do but the price difiference not worth it

[vale swan]

i already have enough keycap packaging as is so i don't need another one

[median spade]

it's $199 barebeones and only $20 more for switches and caps

[vale swan]

for me its more of a room difference

[median spade]

kind of scam for barebones

[vale swan]

it always was like this with the Q1

the switches will be needed anyways so eh

i dont think you can put jades in this can u

[median spade]

probably not

[stray tiger]

Did you pre-order the Q1 HE?

[vale swan]

me i didnt

[median spade]

I didn't either

[vale swan]

but it would be cool

[pastel vigil]

They do have the ugliest keycaps. I really wish their barebones was cheaper.

[vale swan]

i like the 60he because of the layout and the salvation is a good case for both MX and HE

[harsh dove]

I thought about it

I did not

[pastel vigil]

I just spring swapped all the switches and put it in a tester so I can compare springs and then threw out the keycaps lmao

[vale swan]

we need a new 60he module with a 7u spacebar and split right shift

i beg you

[pastel vigil]

I just want arrows on my 60HE

[stray tiger]

I did (I need to understand competitors) but they are currently about 6 weeks behind schedule and they have made a few changes to the design since the kickstarter,

[vale swan]

that'd be a 64HE

[harsh dove]

Yeah that would be the only reason I’d get one

[pastel vigil]

Sure that works.

[stray tiger]

Ive owned 3 Keychron boards in the past and while they are good, the front height / overall height is horrendous for me. However its needed to hold the batteries.

[vale swan]

are they really high?

[median spade]

yeah I did notice that as their own site says shipping late march for kickstarter and and then april fro everyone else

but then the main site says shipping in may

[vale swan]

ye late march my fucking ass

its mid april

[stray tiger]

This is the last email I got, which talked about the second delay

[median spade]

they updated it i see

they knew I saw it

[vale swan]

lmfao

[wind karma]

oh oh

[harsh dove]

Before > After

[spiral anvil]

Nice, just got to buffer out the scratches

[harsh dove]

lol that part is not my job

I just take the photos

Give it a good wipe down

[grizzled path]

nice photoshop

[cedar gate]

So can anyone tell me the general diff in sound between fr4 and polycarbonate and which could go best with ks20u

[pastel vigil]

Best is what you like. I havent either so can’t comment.

[cedar gate]

Well I just need to know how the sound compares and how they bot affect the sound in a different way

[wind karma]

i think there are videos on youtube with fr4 vs pc plate but not with the KS20u

[pastel vigil]

Look up aetospace engineer explains keyboards, he goes over the difference between all the plates

[cedar gate]

I can't find any good ones the mics are low quality so all the plates they tested sound the exact same

[indigo ibex]

what gasket should I order for o-ring mount?

[pastel vigil]

Sound tests are a lie anyway

[pastel vigil]

Graveshift S 30-50a

[indigo ibex]

like i can just go with anything between 30 and 50?

[pastel vigil]

Yes

[indigo ibex]

is it like a preference thing

or

[pastel vigil]

Yeah

Softer to Harder

[indigo ibex]

like why the size range, i guess is my question

ok

is higher number softer.

?*

[pastel vigil]

Higher is harder

[indigo ibex]

ahhh ok

i see i see

thanks for clarifying

[wind karma]

i see

[wind karma]

they won't be accurate to how it sounds irl but if the sound test is fair then you can compare the sounds

of both plates

[pastel vigil]

Too many factors, when its in your hand you might prefer the other one instead.

[wind karma]

hmm true

[pastel vigil]

Sound is complicated when they are this many variables which affect each other.

[wind karma]

comparisons are still possible but yeah you may prefer the other one irl

[pastel vigil]

I personally go for feel over sound. Its gonna sound how it sounds.

[wind karma]

my main point is that you can compare tho.

[pastel vigil]

You can, but its not really all that informed. Thats just me though. Yall can do what you like.

[wind karma]

ive only been using gaming keyboards so ive never felt a good feeling keyboard

[wind karma]

yeah i guess.

[pastel vigil]

Feel is also preference and you just have to try it out to see what you like. No other way really.

Someone’s mushy is someone’s stiff.

[wind karma]

wobble is part of it too yeah?

[pastel vigil]

Switch wobble? I guess so, but generally almost everyone wants less wobble.

Wobble can create issues. But so can be going too stiff/tight or too lax in your build.

[wind karma]

yeah the friction feeling i'm assuming

which keyboards have you owned in the past?

[pastel vigil]

Just wooting keychron and razer

HE is the future I dont see a point in having another keyboard atm

[wind karma]

which razer kb?

[wind karma]

yeah i'm getting my wooting in may

[pastel vigil]

Ornata and black widow?

I forget their names lol

[wind karma]

yeah you got the names right i guess

was hoping you had the huntsman TE cause i wanted to know if its switches are considered wobbly

[pastel vigil]

One full one and then tiniest they got

[wind karma]

yup

[untold wigeon]

Hi ! What's the best site for ordering keycaps in FR-ISO? thx

[median spade]

Giving up and using ISO-UK

Or going to ansi

[untold wigeon]

I have already ordered my keyboard 😂

[median spade]

Yeah you’ll just have to browse Amazon or aliexpress and see if they have anything

ISO already poorly supported as is let alone French or any other specific language

[elfin garnet]

Feel this. Would be fun to have a sick MX keyboard but don't see the point of spending money on it. It's not going to be used. I use my HE for gaming and I have a Keychron Q5 Pro for work. If anything I would swap the Keychron with a Wind X98 but it's impossible to buy so there's that.

[pastel vigil]

If I had to go into an office for work id maybe have a typing optimized mx one

But i use my 60he for everything and its great to me dont see the point in switching between gaming and other uses i like to get used to one thing

[elfin garnet]

yeah that's kind of what my q5 is to me. I've done some mods on it and it feels good and is silent which is what I was going for in the office. Only reason why I'm going back n forth is because I need a numpad for work

Go ride it (with a helmet)

[latent fern]

the color is so nice

[harsh dove]

lol I want too, I already checked if it starts and it does

I’ll wear one of the old WW2 helmets we got laying around lol

[fluid ravine]

go ride it (without as helmet)

[untold wigeon]

hi !What is the difference between switches pls ?

[mild shuttle]

get the 45's for better lighter press, but real upgrade is jade switches

from what I read

[spiral anvil]

Jades be good

[mild shuttle]

Anyone have any cool case suggestions or options for Wooting80HE yet besides wooting options?

[harsh dove]

Time to go home 🏡

[cedar gate]

L45s have less pressure to press compared to L60s but all lekkers sound bad tbh the best switches are the ks20 dual rail and the gatreon jades ks20 for thocky sound and jades for clacky sound

[shell crown]

What's that case?

[cedar gate]

A tofu60 redux is the best case on wooting by a mile

[harsh dove]

Salvation

[mild shuttle]

I don't think they have a version that fits 80HE been seaching

[fluid ravine]

What switches are you trying to compare?

[fickle bear]

Going to do a tofu 60 redux, blank keycaps and jades on my wooting when I decide to mod it

[mild shuttle]

for now ordered ghost case and the zinc alloy silver from wooting but wasn't sure if anyone had any other suggestions or mods they plan on doing or are looking at

[fluid ravine]

The options in cart are the Lekker V2

[cedar gate]

I didn't see 80he lol

[fluid ravine]

the revised versions of the original lekkers, the revisions should be better tolerance iirc

so less to no chatter which the lekker v1 had

and the stem wobble should be reduce if the revision is made

[cedar gate]

Tbh I think your only options are wooting then @mild shuttle

[mild shuttle]

Thanks bro

[fluid ravine]

There isn't any 3rd party case for the Wooting 80he

[mild shuttle]

Thanks you two

[fluid ravine]

ah gotta love english

grammar is the best

[harsh dove]

Because of the layout and TKL layouts in general, there’s no standardized layout. So therefore no standardized cases. There may be 3rd party companies that decide to make cases for it, but only the future will tell.

[fluid ravine]

wait did you bring 2 modules and one case? xd

[harsh dove]

Ones MX

[fluid ravine]

Don't plan for mods, only do mods if its needed 👍

honestly based from the sound test I heard from the wooting page, 80he sound pretteh gud

[harsh dove]

Wait till you hear mine

[fluid ravine]

Ughhhh we get it cam
you bought it

Keep flexing on me

[harsh dove]

Lmao

I was joking

[fluid ravine]

the more the better

nah nah

go ahead :D

[harsh dove]

Ima put mine in cardboard

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

flashback

[harsh dove]

The Cardboard80HE

Some cardboard keycaps would be nice

Amazon Themed

[fluid ravine]

😂

[mild shuttle]

Thanks, bought the module and cases because I wanted the G Jade switches, now just seeing what else I can do with it.

[fluid ravine]

Nvidia theme

[harsh dove]

Need that Amazon Prime board

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

Faster delivery

[harsh dove]

The brass weight should say “Fastest Delivery”

[fluid ravine]

Gosh i cant think of jokes xd

[harsh dove]

Brass weight with cardboard case

EZ sales

[fluid ravine]

yessirrrrr

cardboard gasket

yuppppp

cardboard plate

[harsh dove]

Made from recycled Amazon products

[cedar gate]

If you already bought L45s I would do a spring swap with the l45 spring in the jades

[fluid ravine]

[cedar gate]

Not too much diff tho

[fluid ravine]

jades are like 30-40 grams i think

i dont really know how to read this 30士7gf but I do think it meants like 23-37 grams?

idk xd

[harsh dove]

30+-7 - 50g

[cedar gate]

It's a 50g end compared to l45s 45

[fluid ravine]

ah

math aint mathing today

[fluid ravine]

me when learning the quadratic formula

[mild shuttle]

Yeah I got them for free with Module and Jades, so switch the Lekkers springs into the jade?

thanks for tips fellas

[cedar gate]

If you want less weight if you want the springs to be harder to press then just leave them

I personally prefer the minimum amount of weight but it does make for typos if your actuation is too high

If you do do this I would recommend a universal actuation of 3 mm on your typing profile

But for gaming it's awesome

[mild shuttle]

Thanks brotha appreciate it

Will do

[untold wigeon]

so for fps, you need the l45S better but for better sound the L60s, exact ?

[stray tiger]

No. Neither is better or worse for either. They have 2 different spring weights and whichever works best for you is something you have to test for yourself.

Also there is no best or worse switches, there is only which ones you like better or worse.

[cedar gate]

Yes tbh all lekker suck equally for sound

[stray tiger]

He is saying that as his opinion. I quite like my lubed lekkers

[untold wigeon]

kk thx !

[stray tiger]

I also don't currently use Jades in any of my boards as I haven't found a combo that I like with them yet.

[cedar gate]

Fps less spring weight is usually better bc easier presses less fatigue

But sometimes more is better since the heavier the spring the faster it can come back up

[shell crown]

I meant travel case

[harsh dove]

@median spade ❤️

Well that was fast

Tenturo Prime

[cedar gate]

45/50 is usually pretty good

[stray tiger]

Silver looks clean

[harsh dove]

Yeah I like my switch tape modded lekkers

[grand oxide]

I assume if I want different spring forces I can just swap out the springs right? I wouldn't need to buy whole new switches?

[stray tiger]

Correct and spring packs will be available soon

[grand oxide]

I know I can for normal switches, just not sure how special the wooting ones are

[grand oxide]

Ty sir

[harsh dove]

Lekkers really don’t sound that bad, it’s just the stem wobble for some (imo)

[grand oxide]

Doesn't filming a switch help with stem wobble? Or am I wrong

[stray tiger]

That helps housing wobble not stem

[harsh dove]

^

[grand oxide]

Ahh

[fluid ravine]

is that a FROG

🐸

[latent fern]

does the wooting fit in the frog case?

[harsh dove]

With custom plates, yes

Not on its own

[latent fern]

ohhhh

[harsh dove]

Yessirrr

https://tenor.com/view/meme-gif-1105617598331461830

[fluid ravine]

ITS A FROGGIII

[latent fern]

does the geon plate fit the wooting pcb?

[fluid ravine]

WHA PLATES
WHAT PLATES!?!?

[harsh dove]

No

They’re gasket mount plates

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

Material wise-

[harsh dove]

POM and Alu

[fluid ravine]

ah yes the usuals

[harsh dove]

Yessir

[fluid ravine]

alr lmk how it goes

[harsh dove]

The best

[fluid ravine]

wait you gonna do a stream?

[harsh dove]

Well if I do, I gotta stream it respectfully

[fluid ravine]

eee

[harsh dove]

See how bad it sounds

The usual

[fluid ravine]

haha

jades to save the day aint it

[cedar gate]

Pom plates are actually pretty good tho

My favorite is still fr4 and pc

[median spade]

[harsh dove]

I feel like GMK symbiote would look decent on here

[harsh dove]

POM Alu best

lol

[median spade]

the playstation set would look good too

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah duh

[median spade]

dualshot

[harsh dove]

Why didn’t I think of that lol

[median spade]

60a, 70a, 80a duro tapdoles btw

[harsh dove]

Very nice

[cedar gate]

TL:DR for people who didn't know which plate to pick and didn't want to watch a vid

I'm going with fr4 for a balance of clack and thock

The modding faq is actually super thorough thx thockfather

[harsh dove]

https://www.twitch.tv/camofflife

I guess ima build this Frog Mini + Wooting60HE+

[fluid ravine]

will join in a bit

just ranked up lol

[hybrid cairn]

what do you guys consider to be the better switch? the gateron jade HEs or the geon raptor HEs?

[latent fern]

jade

[hybrid cairn]

is it just better in sound or does it have better feel and gaming performance too?

[median spade]

sound preference

is all

[median spade]

[hybrid cairn]

so theres just no difference betwen them besides sound?

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/you-see-this-peak-peaking-kevin-hart-tilt-shades-gif-26320836

[latent fern]

sounds and feel are all preference

i like having a shorter travel switch and i like the bottom out sound and feel of the jade

so thats why i bought the jades and not the raptor

[hybrid cairn]

so the actuation is the same, the stem wobble is the same, the pressure is the same, everything besides sound and feel are the same?

[naive sage]

Has anyone here used Swagkeys Knight stabs in a build yet? I know TX and Staebs have had some issues with plate fitment.

[latent fern]

its an HE switch so you set the actuation to whatever you want, the jades have ligher springs i believe. i think both the jades and raptors have minimal stem wobble.

raptors are orange so it effects your rgb colors

[hybrid cairn]

my bad i meant to say usable travel distance (i.e ive seen switches that only travel for up to 3.5mm instead of 4mm)

[hybrid cairn]

i use pure white for my rgb mainly so thats not good

[latent fern]

i guess jades have less usuable actuation but it hasnt really affected its usability in-game for me

[hybrid cairn]

ah the jades only have 3.5mm right?

[latent fern]

i doubt anyone wants to set their actuation in the 3.5-4mm range

[latent fern]

yeah

[hybrid cairn]

ah yeah i mainly want to set mine to below 1mm so as long as the springs arent more finicky just cause they are shoter it sounds like jades are better

but ive heard that jades make white rgb slighly blue-ish is that true?

[latent fern]

when i set my rgb to white, it does come off kinda blue but thats because my keycaps are blue so i cant really answer that question

also raptors have stronger magnets in them that could effect how it interacts with the sensor

[hybrid cairn]

mm ok ok, well ig ill buy jades for my 80he. since they only sell in packs of 70 and 10 how many should i buy?

[hybrid cairn]

stronger magnets? so does that mean they are more sensitive or they just have more resistance orrrr

[latent fern]

its more of a calibration issue

[naive sage]

I believe that I saw on Reddit that this was more of an issue if they're installed south facing

[latent fern]

not sure but just look it up on google

[naive sage]

Haven't confirmed myself yet.

[hybrid cairn]

mmm ig thats why they arent officially recognized by wooting

[hybrid cairn]

gotta install them north facing ig

since they only sell the jades in packs of 70 and 10 how many should i buy?

cause im gonna use them in my 80he but ive never used an 80% before so idk how many keys they have

[latent fern]

just look at the photo and count i guess

or ask the 80HE chat

[hybrid cairn]

ight then im just gonna buy 90 and hope it works out

[naive sage]

From what I have gathered, new Gateron switches are retooled to not have interference when north facing so no reason not to as far as I can tell.

[hybrid cairn]

as long as i can keep my clean white rgb then im good

[naive sage]

90 is probably what you want, you'll have a few extras but that's probably for the best anyway.

[hybrid cairn]

yeah just in case any break or i wanna frankenswitch something

[quiet shoal]

I have jade switches on mine right now and they are hands down the best

coupled with staebies lubed and it sounds awesome, I didn't bother lubing each switch, cause quite frankly I couldn't fathom the time

[nova relic]

10 jades gone arrive couple of hours later for me. i'm excited to try them out

[latent fern]

lubing can be tedious but 205g0 made my jades sound much more bassy

lubing the top housing where the stem makes contact made a noticeble differnce

[fluid ravine]

GYAAAA

@stray tiger Sry but look!!!

ITS A BABYYY

[fluid ravine]

@harsh dove Thanks for the stream, gn big bro!

Birth of the CamFrog mini

@harsh dove this is what my setup looks like when I'm finished
I keep my mouse pad on my chair

[harsh dove]

to help with dust?

Nice and tidy

[untold wigeon]

does anyone have a sound test of hand lubed v stock lube gateron jades

[potent wedge]

Plate black POM vs aluminium vs copper

Which pair well with jade switches ?

[wind karma]

POM would probably be the safest bet.. but what pairs well is up to what you like

[potent wedge]

I'm planning to combine it with jade switches

black pom, RGB is not bright

[fluid ravine]

Yup

[stray tiger]

Ah dang didn't know you streamed last night. The frog turned out great looking @harsh dove how did it sound?

And which plate and switches did you try

[vale swan]

oh he did stream it

i wanna see how it sounded too

@harsh dove when you can drop a sound test of it

[harsh dove]

Actually sounded pretty solid, Tenturo said he wanted it back

I did Jades with Alu plate since he said he never tried that

[harsh dove]

When I get home today

I’ll stream it again at some point because I wanna try the Pom plate and the KS20u (peaches)

[vale swan]

sounds good

did u delete the vod on twitch?

[harsh dove]

But I’ll also do sound test separately

I don’t think so

[vale swan]

this looks good

it looks more white than silver in that image

[harsh dove]

Yeah it does lol

[grizzled path]

no u

[polar girder]

Could be a fire combo

[polar girder]

Nice ABT shine

😅

[vale swan]

mine looks the exact same

but ye it feels nice

[harsh dove]

Embrace the shine

[vale swan]

do you have any thoughts on this vs the salvation

for this pcb that is

[polar girder]

Could be sweet. I don’t like the look of it (more of a pure matte guy) and guess I wouldn’t like the feel (prefer more texture). But might have to try them at some point

But I’m not really a full on keyboard enthusiast collector type

Don’t need 50 keycap sets

I’m too dependent on my side print shine thru since my keyboard is always shuffling spots on my desk

[harsh dove]

Had to publish it

[vale swan]

ah

[vale swan]

these have textures to them as well just not as much as pbtfans

[vale swan]

i think thats good

[little glen]

You dont need 50 sets

But that wont stop anyone that‘s committed

[harsh dove]

You're right I don't need 50

I need 150

[little glen]

Any recommendations for my next keycap set

I like purple and i really enjoy my lighter colored caps i got

I saw a few that i really liked but finding iso-de support is a nightmare

[nova relic]

is it normal that my jades turned my white led tint extremely bluish?

like not even blueish white, its staright up blue..

[stray tiger]

Yes, the Jades have a blue bottom that the LED shines though

[vale swan]

yeah its normal, but its way worse if you have them southfacing

[nova relic]

it really bothers me 😦

[vale swan]

you use rgb keycaps?

[nova relic]

no, blanks

[vale swan]

do you have the switches southfacing or northfacing

[nova relic]

north

[vale swan]

i mean it sucks in both but even the lekkers the white wasnt really white

cant really do white with rgb leds

[nova relic]

yea, but it was way closer to actualy white

[vale swan]

it was ye

you could try purple or red

[nova relic]

im trying to pick a "countercolor"

to even it out to white

kinda works

[vale swan]

i dont think you gonna be able to do that as i tried that myself

[nova relic]

it kinda works not gona lie

[stray tiger]

You better not lie

[nova relic]

thing is, that the bottom housing is a bit visible, even without the leds on

so i guess thats it

I wish it would sound and feel bad, so I just ditch it, but its not

[sharp aurora]

Just replaced my L60s with the Jades (Two HE), and wow. This is really great. Coming from Gateron Clears, the L60s were worse for me then the Gateron Clears but these Jades... Man they feel nice. Sooo much less wobble, this is great. It also sounds pretty nice. (It was worth it to buy a used keeb to replace the switches.)
Already had O-Rigs on the Keycaps with the L60s, was a nice little upgrade, with the Jades this also feels great.

My fingers hurt tho, had no switch/ keycap puller, pulled them manually after unscrewing the top plate.

[stray tiger]

You are a beast

[sharp aurora]

my finger tips still hurt, and more then 20 mins have passed.
was pressing the clip with a metal ifixit tool, and pushing the mout from the bottom

[obtuse fossil]

i ordered a second wooting he module and i ordered the tofu redux (acrylic) with the geonworks raprot he switches anyone have experience with the raptor he's ?

[polar girder]

Yeah

I have them

Then stem/spring swapped them with l45’s

[obtuse fossil]

yea i saw people do that and they love is whats the diffrence with only raptor /lekker stem

[polar girder]

Best of both worlds

IMO

[quaint mirage]

thank you, do you know where to get carbonfiber plate?

[polar girder]

Less stem wobble, housing had nice sound, stem solid and hits housing with good sound. And I love the l45 spring

Little bit of not a perfect match on probably like 5-10% of the stem swapped raptors tho

So it’s not perfect. But when it works, it’s quite nice.

[thick quail]

anyone got any recommendation on where to get keycaps that works with the wooting two he?

[polar girder]

Almost any keycap will work

[thick quail]

i see, do you have any sites you would recommend?

my first time ever changing keycaps, i've always used whatever comes in the box

[round saddle]

Curious if anyone has tried an o-ring mod on the wooting module with diff stabs?

[stray tiger]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399

[round saddle]

It says the screw in stabs get in the way but you could replace them with clip ins. Just wanted to see if anyone has tried that before I order an o-ring

[stray tiger]

Yes, I suggest clip-ins or better yet plate mount for gummy o-ring mounting. Some users says screw-ins work ok for the case that they are using, but I don't recommend it personally as it can angle the PCB slightly

[round saddle]

Thanks for the reply

[polar girder]

I have o-ring with stock module stabs

But yeah some people doesn’t seem to work. Idk

[vale swan]

i would choose the s size oring if you're gonna go down that route

[polar girder]

Medium works better for me

No plate foam tho

I have S and M

[harsh dove]

My issue with Screw ins and S-size O-ring is it angles the PCB in the Tofu

Like Tirade said

[loud tiger]

My 60he is coming in today

Any tips on what to do and what not to do

People already told me not to relube it as it's not worth the time as they are factory prelubed

Im new to keyboards that can be opened and hotswapped

I have some cat themed keycaps

Def will slap those bad boys on

Someone told me that thick Keycaps are not good for hall effect keyboards

These are pretty thicc

[harsh dove]

Tip #1 take people’s opinions with a grain of salt

If you plan to mod it, the #🪛│modding_faq is a good place to start

[indigo ibex]

whats the email for wooting support?

nvm found it

[polar girder]

Meh I use Medium with screwins and redux no angle issues

No plate foam tho

Think that might force me to use the small and get in the way

It wasn’t staying in place at all with the small tho

[harsh dove]

Yeah it’s probably specific to using small, I didn’t try with medium

[polar girder]

Yeah medium, no plate foam fits nice

[harsh dove]

I never use any foam

So all my test are without

[polar girder]

It kind of fits right in the stab ez

Gotcha

Yeah idk

I’m just built different I guess

Meaning my standards are lower so I see no problems

[harsh dove]

That’s what I say about tx ap stabs

[polar girder]

[harsh dove]

Issues for everyone else except me

[polar girder]

lol right

Yeah so weird

[harsh dove]

Yeah

I mean I didn’t necessarily have any issues with the small o ring

Just didnt like how it sits

[polar girder]

Man that’s crazy cuz I couldn’t use my Small at all

Just didn’t even hold the PCB in the case lol

[harsh dove]

Right yeah that’s weird

Usually I do the Dairy Queen upside down test too lol

[polar girder]

Right yeah exactly

That shit was like liquid. Fell right out lol

[harsh dove]

I remeber it being pretty tight but I’ll have to test again

[polar girder]

Well cuz I kind of put the ring in the stab too

[harsh dove]

Yeah gotcha

[polar girder]

Idk if others are going around it or not

[stray tiger]

Well thats a completely different vital piece of information lol. Which would also explain why the small o-ring didnt work. I dont suggest putting the o-ring inside of the stabilizers but now it all makes sense why you had no issues lol

[harsh dove]

Yeah that does make more sense

I’d imagine most go around the stabilizer housing like myself

[polar girder]

It just kind of fit right in there nicely

[robust fiber]

Who was it that had these keycaps

@polar girder

do the legends look good?

Like really close up

I ordered some £10 keycaps dye sub and they look terrible

The legends have a blue tint on the edges

[polar girder]

I’m at work but I think they look good from memory

I don’t usually check out my keycaps with a magnifying glass or anything tho

[robust fiber]

yeah I just don’t want any glaring issue

Ordered 2 different keycaps

[robust fiber]

One that’s this and different white one

And the legends look terrible without even looking super close

I love how xda looks

[normal schooner]

looks sure. feels nty

[median spade]

they're 10 euro what did you expect lol

also

[harsh dove]

Sad

[robust fiber]

didn’t expect a different colour on the legends

WSAD

[daring swallow]

Hi

[robust fiber]

I’ll keep these keycaps on

[daring swallow]

Does the keyboard support cherry profile keycaps?

[robust fiber]

When the wooting comes I’ll put the gentlemen ones

[harsh dove]

Yes sir

[daring swallow]

K

https://amzn.eu/d/aIsteap

Would these work?

Anyone?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

Pretty much all mx keycaps should work without issue

You will have variance on keycap tightness and possibly warped space bars or misprint legends but that all depends where you get them from

[robust fiber]

Old keycap developed shine

That’s where I have my thumb when playing

[polar girder]

[nova relic]

what can cause that my "A" key is significantly louder than any other key? same keycap, same switch etc

[polar girder]

Isn’t that close to a stand off?

Caps lock

[daring swallow]

Any good keycaps suggestions for a mainly blue black setup?

[nova relic]

you suggest this gap causes it?

[polar girder]

I’m not suggesting anything. I’m just brainstorming

Idk

[drifting bronze]

Hello there I'm going to buy some tape for in my keyboard but is there anything I need to look for when buying tape? So I don't damage my pcb

For tempest mod just get painters tape

And is there a difference between masking tape and painters tape

[wide kraken]

painter's tape is intended to be removed, so it has weak adhesive (which is good)

[stray tiger]

Do you like the way that tape mod sounds? I feel like it makes some of my boards too poppy sounding. Depends on the switch and the plate of course.

[spiral anvil]

[median spade]

Ear plugs

[static tendon]

This your setup? Is that a glass mousepad?

[harsh dove]

It’s a glass desk

Mousepad is on his chair

[placid fern]

Just got a wooting 60he+ any keycaps recommendations I have no idea what to switch em to

[static tendon]

What’s that black piece in the center? For design/contrast?

[harsh dove]

Idk

[static tendon]

Cherry profile keycaps have been a popular upgrade option. If you don’t have a budget, GMK seem to be a high end option to get. Otherwise you can search around on drop or novelkeys for some keycap options

[harsh dove]

My $65 GMK Tuzi’s

[placid fern]

Alright thanks

[stray tiger]

Mine didn't arrive yet but I did get this today

[cedar gate]

Just get any paper based tape scotch blue is what I use but it isn't better or worse than any other paper tape the main thing is the layers I would do around 3

[static tendon]

How many keycap sets do you have at this time?

[harsh dove]

Yanno, I always thought about getting GMK Norse

[cedar gate]

Any colors your going for?

[harsh dove]

I aslo grabbed GMK Symbiote today cause I could no longer wait for a sale

and watch, a sale is gonna happen now that I bought them

[cedar gate]

Is gmk really worth it tho it changes so fast and not in a good way

[placid fern]

Not at the moment

[harsh dove]

uhh about a dozen or so

[cedar gate]

And so expensive too

[harsh dove]

changes so fast?

[cedar gate]

Like the shine goes

[harsh dove]

That's part of the culture

[cedar gate]

Common abs problem ofc

[harsh dove]

Embrace it or don't

Or throw it on a keeb you don't use

on display

[cedar gate]

If you say so lol

[harsh dove]

Lol well if buying GMK, you have to go into it knowing these things

[cedar gate]

I'm more of a pbt guy myself

[harsh dove]

Yeah there's great PBT stuff out there

[cedar gate]

Looks good feels good and stays good

[harsh dove]

ABS does have a larger color palette though

[cedar gate]

Give me smth to work with lol what colors do you like?

[cedar gate]

It does but tbh I'm kinda plain I just want monotone with some highlights maybe

[harsh dove]

Yeah I feel that

[cedar gate]

Usually some form of WOB

[harsh dove]

most of my stuff is grey

[cedar gate]

BOG is cool too

In some ways I prefer it to WOB

[harsh dove]

Yeah love my PBT BoG from Cannonkeys (Tirade)

This one

[cedar gate]

Tbh I never understood the appeal for brown or purple keycaps but ig it just ain't my thing

[cedar gate]

It's a nice shade of gray

[cedar gate]

Imo vibrant colors don't look good on a kb unless their highlights on black or gray but to each their own

[placid fern]

Black white or a mixture of both

[fluid ravine]

Just got home from a volleyball game, we lost badly :c

[static tendon]

Nice to keep things fresh

[fluid ravine]

Yeah this is my setup in the living room, and no I use a zowie gsr se gris and it was on my chair

The black in the middle of my desk is indeed glass

[static tendon]

That’s funny actually. I very recently ordered a purple keycap set 😂

I typically steer towards brighter colors

[fluid ravine]

@static tendon

[harsh dove]

Purple bois

[fluid ravine]

Porpol

[static tendon]

Do your arms feel cold to the touch when first getting on the setup? Just due to the glass?

[fluid ravine]

nahhh

[fluid ravine]

its not cold over here

[harsh dove]

I just got both these sets

[fluid ravine]

from the south side

(texas)

[harsh dove]

Porpol

[fluid ravine]

And if you didnt notice, the yellow tape in front of the edge of my desk is double sided tape, my dad wrapped my table in some clear plastic wrap to keep it "cleaner"

[static tendon]

I love darker shades too. @harsh dove keyboard really caught my attention but I noticed when I had black keyboards I typically always used my brighter colored ones

[fluid ravine]

Even though it made it look worst and theres no point in doing it 💀

[static tendon]

I’m sure I’ll own a black keyboard down the line but purple is gonna be my next theme. I’m gonna get a large purple mousepad next to match my GMK Vaporwave

[fluid ravine]

And thats why people keep pointing out to clean me desk although it aint even dirty :D (people think the bubbles are dust)

[harsh dove]

Lol that'll be cool
