[stiff plume]

Um

idk if i am doing it wrong

but the rubber band keeps falling off the screw head

or damaging the rubber band

[harsh dove]

that's fine, you're just trying to create enough friction/torque to untwist the screw

[stiff plume]

I don't think it's working

[daring swallow]

Btw what’s that supposed to do

[harsh dove]

You have a metal nail file?

[stiff plume]

Nope

Do you think I need to buy one?

[harsh dove]

Nah

Was just gonna say to file a slit into the screw head to make it a flat head and then unscrew it with a flat head

[stiff plume]

Do I still do the rubber band method?

[stiff plume]

Or what is the next step

[harsh dove]

If you file a slit into it, no

[stiff plume]

So what do I do now?

[harsh dove]

If you filed a slit, try using a flat head screwdriver

[stiff plume]

Sorry what I meant was I don't have a metal nail file

Wait

Acutally

Does this count?

[harsh dove]

Yeah, just try not to scratch the PCB

[stiff plume]

Before I do something stupid, I'm using the lines from metal nail file on top of the screw head?

[harsh dove]

You’re trying to make a line in it so you can use a flat head screw driver since you stripped it

[marsh saffron]

god damn you stripped that good

how tf 😭

[harsh dove]

My other idea was hot glue gun or super glue and sticking the screw driver in there and letting it dry and then slowly twisting it to unscrew

You could also try screwing in a screw from the other side

Just don’t strip that one too

[stiff plume]

Is this possible?

[harsh dove]

I said you could try lol, I didn’t say if it was possible or not

[river shore]

i want to make them heavier the standard spring weight is too light for me

[marsh saffron]

hot glue probably wouldnt work unless the screw is super loose

[river shore]

but yeah if anyone has any experience w spring swapping the og lekkers the wooting came w please hmu

im tryna go for a heavier spring

since i daily drive boba u4ts on my custom

[harsh dove]

With how bad it’s stripped, possibly not

[stiff plume]

I have been doing method for 5 minutes, I don’t think I have made a single damage to the screw head.

[civic totem]

Just keep going

Or take pliers and try it

But don’t scratch the plate

[sour blade]

hey (hope you dont mind ping)
thankyou for the help yesterday

since you also have a custom plate im curious as to what material you got it in,
also by any chance, you have other recommendations other than the KS20 dual rail switch? or as far as tolerance goes those are the best?

[harsh shadow]

Hey all

I want to make the Two He thock
how do i go on about doing that? (very new to keyboards)

[old swallow]

soooo, i had a stripped screw on my original 60HE, and i wanted to swap it to Tofu. i literally destroyed my whole plastic case to get it out haha

Is it worth to go for stabs over these compared to the default ones from the 60 module

[old swallow]

unless you are having issues with the stock stabs, i would just use those

[boreal violet]

Is for sound, still need to assemble it

But idk how good the stock ones are

[old swallow]

i would try the stock ones first, since theyre already installed anyways. and if you dont like it, then you can always change it later

[boreal violet]

ok 👍

Does the wooting wrist wrest work with the tofu 60 redux

[old swallow]

yes, it actually lines up perfectly

[stiff plume]

An update for the the stuck screw. Man I been doing this for god knows of how long and I only manage to make a little scratch. Unless the quality of my metal nail file is bad or the screw is very tough. And still haven't manage to get it out. 😭

[old swallow]

sooo, are you planning to case swap?

or just wanting to change something

cause there is always the option of destroying the plastic case, but i wouldnt say its the best move

[stiff plume]

Well I lubed the space stabs and then midway through when putting back the space stabs to the pcb. I realise it was put in the wrong way. I tried unscrewing one and it worked and the second one whelp it is stuck.

[stiff plume]

I wish it was that easy.

[old swallow]

aah, thats a bit tricky

[stiff plume]

Yeah...

I got myself into a pickle situation

and now I don't know what to do

[old swallow]

euhm, well time to case swap

[flat light]

Alumaze case, Pc plate swap, lekker60/geon raptor frankenswitched,tape modded 3 layers double pbt keycaps

[wind karma]

is this tape modded

[flat light]

yes it is

forgot to mention

[wind karma]

ah it sounded like it lol

[analog stirrup]

has anyone used these WS Dash HE switches? They look like they're made by Gateron, but I wasn't able to find any reviews https://shop.wuquestudio.com/collections/switches-in-stock/products/ws-dash-he-switch-70pcs

[wind karma]

they're apparently just jades

with a different colour stem

[spiral anvil]

Anyone tried cablemod cables with wootings?

[brazen sparrow]

They will work if the cable is rated for USB 2.0

So I believe they will

[obtuse fossil]

Yes they work

[obtuse fossil]

I was just doing mine 😉

[flat light]

nice!

had to do them by hand cus didnt have a switch opener

[obtuse fossil]

How mong did it take damn that must suck

Long

[flat light]

14-15h for the entire board

most was spent on switches

[obtuse fossil]

😳 dayumm im halfway there been an hour

[flat light]

im getting a opener for my next build

never doing that again

Might need to get hold of a craftsman who can help drill it out.

[arctic pasture]

Hey

Is it possible to replace the keys on the uwuting

With a ctrl key

Just one

Cuz I have specific use for it

That would be better like that

[heady terrace]

@harsh dove have u tried the everglide sticky rices

[harsh dove]

No they suck

[heady terrace]

oh really LOL

[harsh dove]

Waste of money

[heady terrace]

what’s bad abt them

[harsh dove]

Everything

Their existence

[heady terrace]

☠️

[harsh dove]

Their magnets overload the sensor

And they don’t sound great

[arctic pasture]

.

I should of been more specific

But

Is there a ctrl key that would fit on uwuting

[harsh dove]

You mean the keycaps?

[arctic pasture]

Yeah

[harsh dove]

Should be

[arctic pasture]

How would I approach doing that

And where should look for one

[harsh dove]

Just take the keycaps off and see if you have one that fits

[harsh dove]

Oh well I thought you had extras laying around

[sick ether]

where can i toggle a key in which app i saw the video from it

[arctic pasture]

Nop

Atleast not ones that feel good

[leaden pawn]

holy cow

[leaden pawn]

show me that width perfection

[gentle cipher]

No ks-20u?

[median spade]

he doesn't stock ks20u so no?

[stray tiger]

Quick update for these. I spoke to the owner of milktooth yesterday and I have a new batch of the sticky rice switches coming that may be improved from the first batch and will be testing them with a new firmware that's been in the works for the last few weeks. I should have an update for you guys next week.

As of now, please avoid them

[harsh dove]

Thanks for the update boss

[median spade]

they did sound the best of his awful sound test

imo

[harsh dove]

Wait what

[median spade]

i thought they sounded the least rattle from listening

or weird top out noise HE has atm

but he also was on his pinginator 4000 alumaze and desk setup so probably inaccurate assumption

[harsh dove]

I can’t remember exactly but I thought they sucked

[polar girder]

lol

[spiral anvil]

Yippeee

Cablemod rum rasin cable coming in

Now I need a purple or green wristrest to finish it off

[idle pier]

@harsh dove so what I ended up doing is just not doing the friction mount because it felt kinda shitty, idk if it's the oring or if i'm just bad at putting the kb in the case it just would never be good, either one of the keys on the edge would get stuck in the oring or there would be a very metallic shitty sound that I don't like at all.

so i just removed all the screws from my alumaze except the two on the side that i barely screwed in and now the board sounds way better and feels less stiff so i take that as a win (: (i kept the plate silicone and the foam at the bottom of the case cause it sounds better like that imo)

[spiral anvil]

Maybe the case is too tight?

The Wooting case was much tighter than the tofu for me

[idle pier]

yeah most likely

but idm the setup i did now feels amazing

[harsh dove]

As long as you’re happy with it that’s all that matters, although did you check and see if the oring is shifting above the plate when inserting it into the case instead of staying between the plate and PCB ?

Sometimes when pushing it down, the oring can slip out from under the plate and end up above the plate

Causing the unevenness

[idle pier]

Yeah that's basically what happened everytime i tried so I kinda gave up to be honest

i couldnt figure out a way to make everything fit nicely

[harsh dove]

Ah okay, did you try using a credit card or something to push it back in?

[idle pier]

yeah it was always too tight

[harsh dove]

Hmm okay

That was when using the foam pad between?

Or without?

[idle pier]

idk i transport my keyboard a lot lately and i just felt like it was too inconvenient

without, i removed everything

[harsh dove]

Ah okay interesting

[idle pier]

but to be honest i prefer the sound signature with

[harsh dove]

Graveshift O Ring?

[idle pier]

nope, ali express

[harsh dove]

Yeah fair enough

Oh okay that might be why but idk

I never tried those

[idle pier]

like i said i'm not really handy and i didnt feel like putting an extreme amount of force, it was super annoying getting the thing out and back in

i felt like i might break the pcb and honestly for what it brings it's not worth it

maybe tofu case would be better like @spiral anvil said

but the setup i found feels amazing too

[indigo ibex]

Anyone ever had issues with their spacebar not coming back up after installing new stabs?

[spiral anvil]

Yea but only on stabies or TX

They're too tight for some reason

[indigo ibex]

any fixes or no

[marsh saffron]

Did you make sure to put them in right

I use stock stabs but had that issue because I put my spacebar one in wrong

[indigo ibex]

is there not only one orientation ?

[spiral anvil]

Some people got it work but it depended on the keycaps iirc

[harsh dove]

Which plate?

I’m the TX AP Wizard 🧙🏾‍♂️

[indigo ibex]

kbdfans CF

[harsh dove]

Are they tx ap screw in or clip in

[indigo ibex]

clip

[harsh dove]

Did you use the shims?

[indigo ibex]

shims?

[harsh dove]

Little plastic bits that go in the bottom of the clip ins

Should all be connected on a small black plastic pinwheel

[indigo ibex]

don't believe that it came with any

[harsh dove]

Are they PCB mount clip ins or plate mounted?

[indigo ibex]

plate mount

[harsh dove]

Ah okay

Then yeah those don’t have any

You shouldn’t really have issues with the plate mount tx ap, it’s usually with the PCB mount ones that people have issues

Not saying it’s impossible but less likely

[spiral anvil]

I had issues with plate as well

I just gave up and went Durock v3

[harsh dove]

Interesting

[spiral anvil]

Tolerances are too tight with some keycaps so it doesn't retract

[harsh dove]

Did you try using a different spacebar ?

Or try reversing the spacebar to see if it works

Test it with different keycaps

[indigo ibex]

Ill keep u guys posted but maybe fixed it

[harsh dove]

Sweet

[drifting bronze]

@stray tiger what places do u recommend for lubing the lekkers bc in the video the they say that u can do this and this but this increases the chance of over lubing and stuf so i'm confused

[harsh dove]

I’m not him but I’d recommend lubing the top housing, the bottom housing , the side rails, and the springs

Top housing especially helps with the top out /return sound

[drifting bronze]

And the stavelizers

[harsh dove]

Since all HE have terrible PC tops

[drifting bronze]

Would u also holee mod where u put a bandaid on the pcb?

[harsh dove]

Don’t do holee mod unless you’re having issues with rattling

Stabilizers, you can lube the stems and inner housings

Can also lube the wire

Where it inserts into the stem

[drifting bronze]

Ok but how do I lube the stabelizers and do I need to wash the desperate switch parts and stabelizers?

[harsh dove]

Nah

Search up Alexotos How to tune stabs on YouTube

It’s a video from 2022

It’s Goated

[drifting bronze]

Ok

[harsh dove]

Just follow that

[elfin garnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxHb6CJc9V8

Here you go

[harsh dove]

Yep

[drifting bronze]

Ok thanks

I really like this community man

But recommended is to go further on the factory lube

At least that is what u would do

I think

And is it a problem that I don't have dialectric grease

[indigo ibex]

ok so

so my main keycaps

cerakeys

the spacebar was just wayyyy to heavy

so first thing I did was kinda manually just sit there and try and wear in the stabs a bit, till they would work with one of my random pbt keycap sets

[hidden tartan]

and is there any switches that can work with the wootility

[indigo ibex]

then once that worked, i just spammed the space bar a ton until it was more worn in, and now it works ffine with my cerakeys lol. easy enough fix i suppose

[drifting bronze]

U mean with the actuation and things ?

[stark osprey]

I just put an L60 on mine, rest still L45s. Did the trick.

[indigo ibex]

OH

i also have that done

i shouldve mentioned

[hidden tartan]

yea

[indigo ibex]

i did that a while ago just bc the cerakeys are so heavy

[hidden tartan]

I heard that tenz modded his switches but idk wahwt he meant

[drifting bronze]

Oh u mean mods for switches or completely other ones

[hidden tartan]

i have 0 clue about modding I just got my 60he yesterday lol

[drifting bronze]

With other switches u can get different sound and feel I think and with the springs for example u get a lighter feel (I'm also new to modding so don't blaime me if I'm wrong)

[hidden tartan]

but no acuation right

only the default ones

[drifting bronze]

If u get the he switched with magnets u like the jades u can buy on the wooting store those are the same actuation and stuff just other sound that's becouse they have the magnet

And if u change the springs make sure those are not magnetic

[indigo ibex]

seems to be working fine now, also i did the, idk what you would call it, plate foam? and no issues so far, I had seen that other people had issues with / said it wouldnt work but so far so good for me thankfully

switch pad, is what i meant

had to google it lol

[hidden tartan]

and any 60 percent case would work aswell ?

[drifting bronze]

Idk tbh I don't think so

[harsh dove]

It’s not a problem, you can lube the wires with 205g0 , just know it is thinner and will settle differently than when you put it in/on

[harsh dove]

Glad to hear it

[drifting bronze]

Ok thanks for the info

[wind karma]

how do you remove a pcb which is friction mounted

[harsh dove]

Remove the spacebar

Get a switch puller

Put it underneath the plate and lift up slowly

[stray tiger]

@harsh dove https://omnitype.com/collections/happy-hour

[wind karma]

that wouldn't damage the plate?

[stray tiger]

I use a switch puller or small pliers and pull up carefully from the little hole next to the spacebar

[harsh dove]

Well watch the plate and make sure it’s not bending excessively

If it’s a PC plate

Also assuming you used plate foam with your friction mount , which makes it harder to remove if so

[wind karma]

you have a PC plate right?

[wind karma]

ah okay

well yeah i'll have a PC plate

[wind karma]

olh dear

i will have plate foam i think

[marsh saffron]

For friction mount can I still use the silicone instead of plate foam

[harsh dove]

Yeah using plate foam makes it harder to remove the PCB with friction mount

[harsh dove]

Really? It’s usually extremely tight or too tight to do that

[marsh saffron]

I'm asking if I can

[harsh dove]

Also because the silicone doesn’t really morph like the foam does

Oh

No

[marsh saffron]

My tofu arrives today and gasket tomorrow

[harsh dove]

You can’t

[marsh saffron]

I see so back to foam it is

[harsh dove]

Yeah or run nothing

Makes it easier to remove and I prefer the sound personally

[marsh saffron]

I'll experiment when my gasket arrives Friday

[harsh dove]

Yeah definitely

See what you like

[fossil pagoda]

has anyone ever found a nice translucent key set for the 60he

[stray tiger]

There are a ton of cool semi-translucent sets out there, just depends on your budget and color preference

[harsh dove]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/glorious-polychroma-translucent-keycaps-rgb/6547954.p?skuId=6547954

[old swallow]

depends on how translucent you want, but PBTfans X-ray is a cool one that is coming soon i hope

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

[harsh dove]

Shhh don’t tell em about those

[old swallow]

whaat?

why not

[harsh dove]

I was gonna recommend those at first lol but figured they wanted something actually translucent

[median spade]

Reject RGB, Embrace no lights

[harsh dove]

^

Remove the LEDs on your PCB

[old swallow]

im gonna run X-ray on my Mode SixtyFive, but that only has Underglow, no PerKey RGB

[median spade]

I’ve removed even rgb from life

I only see grayscale

[harsh dove]

I’m just joking , sarcastically gatekeeping

[old swallow]

oh i figured

https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-kabuki-cho-r2?_pos=7&_sid=517ead263&_ss=r

oh, also this one

partially translucent. should be coming out tommorow

[median spade]

RGB was a mistake

[old swallow]

just close your eyes. cant see the RGB anymore

[spiral anvil]

I don't really like the backlight RGB

[stray tiger]

If they are ok with semi-transparent you could do PBTFans Pyga, PBTFans Vior, GMK Symbiote (partially) or similar sets but without knowing their budget we cant even start to suggest

[spiral anvil]

Isn't there that one clear set?

[stray tiger]

PBTFans X-Ray wil be available soon

[near barn]

How many layers of tape mod does everybody use?

[spiral anvil]

0

kekw~2

[stray tiger]

0\

[spiral anvil]

I had problems last time I tried

Didn't want to risk the PCB

[marsh saffron]

3

[near barn]

context?

[spiral anvil]

The adhesive was being pain and it was causing ghosting

[stray tiger]

There have also been a few reported issues with people applying the tap mod too tight or incorrectly causing the PCB to flex a bit or pull on other switches during keypresses resulting in false acuations. Its a pretty safe mod with the correct tape but dont go crazy

[near barn]

what tape were u using O: i have masking tape which is why im curious

[marsh saffron]

Masking tape works fine for me

[near barn]

i'm not sure if i've done tape mod correct in the first place; i've tried it on my uwu as a test(since it's cheaper and all incase i break something)

i just cut tape a tiny bit shorter than the board, and the slap it on right? or was it supposed to be pulling across

[marsh saffron]

I used my old steel plate to get the tape to cover edge to edge good

[spiral anvil]

I didn't really like the sound anyway

[marsh saffron]

But that's fine

[near barn]

it's practically edge to edge, just not perfect; i did the exact same and used my steel plate xD

[marsh saffron]

Yeah I cut mine so it'd be perfect

Don't think it'll make a sound difference it just looks better (for when I take it apart) 😂

[harsh dove]

Vior is really nice

[harsh dove]

Just use aluminum flashing tape like me

[harsh dove]

I saw this, gonna have to pass even tho I like it

At least it’s not GMK SYMBIOTE

[near barn]

iirc, i read somewhere that putting RT on .15 on press/release would lead to issues with the PCB plate, can anyone elaborate? i forgot where I saw it but it was in one of these threads and I was wondering if the problem still persists

[harsh dove]

I’ve run 0.15 on my RT profile since I got my wooting and never had issues that I’ve noticed

Now if you’re referring to the advanced settings with the option to set different press/release parameters, then I have not done that. Not too sure about that one

I’d assume it works the same way as having it set to 0.15 across the board if you have both the press and release set to that as well

[lost cloud]

What did you end up deciding on?

[near barn]

this

i remembered someone saying something along the lines of the pcb plate has a lot of flex, which can cause issues with those inputs and that it was receommended to do nothing lower than .25

[harsh dove]

Hmm, I haven’t tested any of that myself

[near barn]

but since wootility has been updated to adjust (to gateron jades), was wondering if that reseolved the issue

[harsh dove]

Possibly

[median spade]

My jades still feel off from time to time when doing movement stuff in apex

But it’s worth still

[harsh dove]

Skill issue

[old swallow]

real

[median spade]

I’ll get dead movements and such that I don’t on lekkers or raptors

But not enough for me to ever use those over jades

[old swallow]

hmm, ive never had any issues with mine, been using them for a while

[stray tiger]

Go download the beta firmware that was released today

[median spade]

[agile grove]

iirc the beta firmware has some changes to make RT more accurate and consistent so i’m assuming these fixes would help the issues with the PC plate

[cedar gate]

Transparent or translucent pbtfans has some good stuff I think

[harsh dove]

I forget to tell people this

[loud tiger]

what are some good quality keycaps

something better than double shot pbt

[heavy verge]

has anybody tried the ks20u yet

[near barn]

is that the dual rail one?

[heavy verge]

yeah

[near barn]

if so then not me sadly, can't find them anywhere online

[heavy verge]

im on the takka on kbd fans but they don't work on this pcb, and I just wanted to see if they did on the wooting

[heavy verge]

yeah it's weird how little these switches were promoted in comparison to the jades

[near barn]

i have the ks-20s and they pretty much just feel like the stock lekkers but with less force on the springs

so like 50ish grams?

[fluid ravine]

You got a question abt them?

If you wanna ask personal questions about them, you can ask @harsh dove or @stray tiger , they own them

[fluid ravine]

The KS-20u's (We also like to call them "Peaches") are the dual rails of the KS-20 line. Comparing to the original KS-20 or the Lekker switches, they are definitely better in terms of stem wobble tolerance and top out sound of the switch due to the dual rail system. The operating force on these are 30±7gf as the bottom force is 50gf. They have the same pitch sound like the Lekker/KS-20 but without the harsh chatter sound coming from the contact of the stem and top housing.

Comparing to the Jades however, the stem wobble is also improved comparing to the Lekker/KS-20 but from what I seen or heard from CAM's stream, the jades has little to almost no wobble (not saying the jades are worst but both are pretty much incredibly tight and minimal). Jades have a closed bottom out housing so the switch travel distance is reduced to 3.5mm (-0.5mm), which also means the Jades lean towards to the clacky side (or a long pole sounding switch). CAM: 30+-7 - 50g and from what Dan The Man said "It's a 50g end compared to l45s)

[heavy verge]

dang brooo

[fluid ravine]

Hope that answers some of your questions

[heavy verge]

apreciate the info man

[fluid ravine]

No problemo

[heavy verge]

yeah it does apreciate it brotha

[fluid ravine]

If you have any other specific questions like sound tests or what not, go ahead and ask them

[heavy verge]

thanks, I def will

[heavy verge]

yo but if you do got a link for like a vod I could watch about them or something like that that would be dope 🙂

[fluid ravine]

Oh yeah hollup, i can link you to CAM's stream about them, I can try to find other clips but i can send you what i have now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cfIbCFVjIo

Skip to 1 hr for the sound test

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrcfJT298V0

These are the only 2 links i got for the peaches

lmk if you need anything else

[heavy verge]

goat

have a great night bro

[fluid ravine]

You too man

[fluid ravine]

What kind of o-rings are you talking about?

[spiral anvil]

Messes with actuation

[fluid ravine]

Oh you trying to apply on the keycaps?

Don't do that, sounds and feels mushy

and yes like tsu said messes with actuation

Don't recommend it at all

would advise against doing it and I dont even think those orings fit on the keycap stem anyways

[spiral anvil]

Anyone know where I can get a purple or green wrist rest

Mostly just black or wood that I can find

I found a green marble wrist rest

[grand oxide]

If I lube the lekker switches, do I lube the inside of the housing like a normal switch? I don't know if it'll mess with performance or not

[stray tiger]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[tawdry ore]

I believe they addressed that in one of the new betas?

[marsh saffron]

Tofu looks so nice

[polar girder]

clean. i like it.

[vale pewter]

Nice

[rough ridge]

Yooo, I got the same salt lamp, had it since forever

[frigid lodge]

anyone have good recommendations for heavier HE springs?

[velvet egret]

Wooting will release their own heavier springpacks soon.

[frigid lodge]

oh cool, I'll just wait for that, then

[glossy pagoda]

Rumor has it that they arrived to the fulfillment center this week and will be available for sale next week

[median fog]

we have upgraded, finally big left shift and big enter together

probably upgradable with zoom75 HE pcb, when good Tactile HE switches come, but this is enough for more casual gaming tho

but even with this board, there is some little wrong switch alignment on pcb a few places/clusters. how hard is it to get it aligned correctly when making it..

look at left shift, too high up, and also the bottom left Ctrl OS Alt a bit too far down, so there is even bigger gap there. (also Tab)

is stuff like this covered by warranty

Nice.

That midnight base is nice

sound test is a little scuffed cuz i cant turn the fan off but you get the idea.

[cedar gate]

I decided I'm gonna make the thockiest wooting build possible then name it the thockfather lol

[boreal ledge]

Im thinking of buying raptor HEs but is it required to swap the stems out?

[polar girder]

No

Just a cool mod

Does change it quite a bit tho

Source: has stem swapped raptors

[valid sun]

What are the differences between the lekkers v1 and v2 ?

[polar girder]

It seems like just tighter tolerances

Decrease wobble

But I’m not certain

I’m still holding out for that new new good good later on down the road

[valid sun]

hmmmm ok

[cedar gate]

What does the stem swap do tbh I'm hard debating raptors ks20u and jades

[stray tiger]

Highly advised due to the magnets

[polar girder]

Oh yeah that part

[polar girder]

Um like tighter feel, lower and more muted sound.

But also like it’s not 100% compatible cuz sometime there’s a little too much friction

I’d say it’s pretty good like 90-95% work pretty effortlessly tho

[cedar gate]

Honestly I think I'm gonna go with raptors because they sound almost as good as jades and for performance they are #1

Legit or no?

[drifting bronze]

@stray tiger I removed the switches and stabelizers but I'm confused with what pencil I should use hc with the wooting tool set u have a big black one and a really.thin white one so Wich should I use for what and how much lube

And also I don't know what are the amounts of lube u should use to not overlube and where ?

Bc this is my first time

And should I put the switches back in when I screwed it to the pcb or should 8 do it when the plate is loose

[cedar gate]

You could watch a tutorial but in general less is more just brush a thin layer on the housing stem and springs

[drifting bronze]

And what brush?

[cedar gate]

I do recommend a tutorial tho but if you see the white of the lube you went too far just the shine is enough

[drifting bronze]

And where?

[cedar gate]

Mostly preference

[drifting bronze]

Oh bc the white is thinner

So I think u should use it for the stabelizers

[cedar gate]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=44Wv4OGdmu4&feature=shared

[cedar gate]

What I meant that if you put so much lube that you see white then that's too much

Just should be a thin reflection

[drifting bronze]

Yeah I know but what is the best bc I think with a thicker brush I can get more into the stabelizers though

[cedar gate]

For the stabs you need both dialectic grease and 205g0

[drifting bronze]

I do t have dialectric grease

[cedar gate]

And for proper tuning get a syringe

[drifting bronze]

Yeah just don't need rattle hahaha

But would the bandaid on pcb work?

[cedar gate]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=vxHb6CJc9V8&feature=shared

[frigid lodge]

This sounds really good, but I imagine if you set the actuation too low, the keys go off if you blow on them

Cerakeys are pretty heavy, right

[drifting bronze]

https://youtu.be/zB9U0QQrNF0?si=GV15rXyczpcEHVGH

This one

[drifting bronze]

Yeah but he is using screw in stabelizers

I'm using the stock ones

[indigo ibex]

really its not too bad, did have to spring swap all of the stabbed keys thought

[frigid lodge]

My goal is to swap the springs on the raptors to make them a little heavier

I figure I could go a little lighter on the actuation, anything lighter than 1mm is way too light right now

I think the raptors only have a 52g bottom out or something like that

[indigo ibex]

hmm

when my 60he was stock, I used .1mm

[cedar gate]

It's almost the same

[frigid lodge]

Yeah, that's crazy to me haha

[indigo ibex]

nowadays cuz of all the mods i use like .3 on most keys and like 1mm on my bigger keys

[drifting bronze]

Ah and the switches? Do u recommend a tutorial for that to?

[indigo ibex]

also had to tweak my rapid trigger a tad to get things to not double activate

[drifting bronze]

And what about this one

[frigid lodge]

I would probably get so many accidental actuations with it that low

[drifting bronze]

https://youtu.be/zB9U0QQrNF0?si=GV15rXyczpcEHVGH

[stray tiger]

Dont band-aid your stabs

[cedar gate]

Is there anything else you wanna do besides lube and tune stabs and switces

[drifting bronze]

Ok

Thx

[cedar gate]

Yeah band aid mod and holee is unnecessary

[frigid lodge]

holee/bandaid mod is kind of a nightmare to do correctly and you don't get a ton of benefit

[cedar gate]

Tbh no benefit

[drifting bronze]

Uh I am switching to a PC plate

[frigid lodge]

if anything, the plumber's tape mod is easier

[cedar gate]

Sometimes it's even worse

[cedar gate]

That will give you more thock

[frigid lodge]

yeah, if your bandaids are too thick, the stabs will become super mushy

[cedar gate]

No one likes a soggy bottom lol

[stray tiger]

Just start with a good lube on the switches and stabs and thats 90% of it

For 80% of people its all they need

[drifting bronze]

But idk if u answered it but when should I put my switches in in only the PC plate or should I screw it to my pcb first

[cedar gate]

Fr just lube and tune your stabs

[frigid lodge]

Whatever screw-in stabs that come on the module are godlike

[cedar gate]

R u using raptors

[stray tiger]

Put switches in last. Screw plate together first to make it easier but there is no wrong way

[frigid lodge]

I didn't have to do anything

[drifting bronze]

Lekkers

[drifting bronze]

Ok thank u for helping

[cedar gate]

Oh well lekker sound pretty bad usually so maybe instead of lubing just get one of the three main options that are all pre lubed

Plus tbh the price of a new switch isn't much more than lube and tools

[drifting bronze]

Nah I had to chose between switches or a 3080

[stray tiger]

He already bought the lube kit, just lube your Lekkers and youll be about the same as the other options

[drifting bronze]

Ok thx

[cedar gate]

Yeah lubed lekker are about as good as a ks20u

[drifting bronze]

Ah ok

[cedar gate]

Oh if he has a lube kit he doesn't need dialectic just the molkoyte

[stray tiger]

Yep that works too

[cedar gate]

Bro follow the lubing tutorial but when ever he uses dialectic grease on his stabs put molkoyte instead

[drifting bronze]

@stray tiger what is the pencil I should use the thick or the really thin one

[cedar gate]

Pencil?

[drifting bronze]

Brush sorry

[frigid lodge]

do you mean brush?

[drifting bronze]

Yeah

[cedar gate]

Any just try out all the thin ones you have and find the one u like best

[drifting bronze]

When I get home again I will send a picture of both

[cedar gate]

Awesome can't wait

[cedar gate]

BTW one thing lol

You said you had a pc plate any other mods you got planned other than plate swap and lube

[drifting bronze]

Uh tape mod and maybe in the future case swap to a tofu becouse now I'm rocking the stock case

[drifting bronze]

But I dnt have molykite

[polar girder]

There’s grease in the Lubkit

You don’t need molykote

[median spade]

fan gives more accurate audio as it gives idea of sound level and your room

also thank you for using a real mic and not your phone for sound test

[median spade]

Warranty? It's called hope that Meletrix actually decides to help you out

or Wuque Studio whatevs

[drifting bronze]

Wich brush should I use for what!

?

And if I lube my switches should I wash them to remove the factory lube

[bronze grove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN_-GYLTfpY

[velvet egret]

Don't think it matters all too much what brush you use. i used the black one for lubing my switches

[velvet egret]

lube over the factory lube

[stray tiger]

Factory lube is fine to leave on and brush is up to you. No wrong or right but I prefer larger brushes for the 205g0

[median spade]

I like to use the top of lid of the lube jar to get off any excess I miss wiping off on the side, and to get a nice even layer

[stray tiger]

I do the same. Good tip

@median spade did you update your firmware?

[velvet egret]

^ I did today, good thing you said something about an update in the chat eariler

I do actually notice a difference with my jades

[median spade]

I have not yet actually

[stray tiger]

The latest beta release is pretty much a release candidate at this point

[median spade]

I'll go do that now

[marsh saffron]

i just want rappy snappy

[median spade]

am I the only one absolutely not interested in rappy snappy from how it's going to be used standpoint? Like I'm glad more features and such so not that

[marsh saffron]

it sounds like it could be op asf on apex

im very excited for it

[stray tiger]

I have no idea on if Ill use it or not. Depends on whether I even notice a difference for things like counterstrafing etc

[median spade]

In what way

[marsh saffron]

lurch tech

[median spade]

Apex is my main game and trying to see

Ahh I guess so

[marsh saffron]

it will become literally impossible to overlap inputs

[median spade]

It already has been near flawless for me since I've been on 60he in 2022

[marsh saffron]

that sounds like it could be INSANE for lurch tech

its a night and day difference for me with rapid trigger on and off, but i still kinda just suck at lurch tech

[median spade]

neo strafing and superglides already easy as is for me now so I guess I'll see if rappy snappy even changes anything

[marsh saffron]

superglides are easy but i cant neo strafe or anything

i can get a clip of my trying its kinda sad

[median spade]

I mean tbh I don't do it often as messes up my aiming

[stray tiger]

Yeah Im just keeping an open mind and waiting to see. Might be an amazing feature for me or I might never use it.

[median spade]

Indeed

I was just trying to think of a scenario, before night mentioned lurch tech in apex, where I would ever even need this

[marsh saffron]

im excited to try it i dont know how good it will actually be though

[median spade]

@stray tiger this one?

[marsh saffron]

damn i got even worse at lurch tech/neo strafing

fucking discord

[median spade]

I have like 4000 hours so I would hope it didn't get worse for me

[marsh saffron]

i just recently hit 1k

https://streamable.com/nipf81

💀

half my hours have been on roller too

[median spade]

[marsh saffron]

im so ass on kbm now

[median spade]

I tried roller as grew up on them, but man it's just boring getting r99 one clips over and over

I do more consistent damage and such, but it takes the fun out of it

[marsh saffron]

yeah after my rsi i started playing more roller again

the more i use it the more washed i get on kbm

[median spade]

rip

[marsh saffron]

the more washed i am the harder kbm is

[drifting bronze]

Does this sound over lubed

[median spade]

Firmware does seem to be better so far

Nice

[stray tiger]

Nope sounds good from my end. Over lubing is more of a feel than a sound though. If the switch feels mushy or slow to return, thats overlubed

[drifting bronze]

Ok thx

[idle pier]

why not

[stray tiger]

99% of the time not needed, 90% of the time its done wrong and makes things worse

[median spade]

I would dare say 100% honestly

Can't think of a single time I've seen it benefit or improve for anyone including myself

[harsh dove]

Yeah just properly luning and tubing your stabs will get em good more often than not imo

[stray tiger]

I sent you a link to the NK flash Friday sale. Metropolis for $75

[median spade]

Metropolis one of my favorite sets

love mine with the midnight kit

[harsh dove]

Yeah I saw that, thank you

[leaden pawn]

hey, any updates on new sticky rices?

[spiral anvil]

It sounds a little bit on my end but that's preference

[distant lintel]

Hi guys! The port is kinda far away from tofu60 redux case, am i alright with using it like this? I mean cable fits well, but im kinda afraid 🥶

[marsh saffron]

mines like this too, it just seems to come out easily

i was able to push it ahead a little when i was mounting it and it seems to have gotten better

when i was tightening the screws i just made sure the pcb was as far forward as it could be

[distant lintel]

Found one more angle for better look

[median spade]

if you plug in your cable the end of the world will arrive

be careful with this new found knowledge

[distant lintel]

Bruh

[old swallow]

you can try unscrewing and re screwing the PCB, but from the looks of it, probably not a problem (not legally binding advice)

[marsh saffron]

It still works but is very easy to unplug accidentally

I was able to get it a bit better by pushing my PCB as far up as possible but it still has a small gap, but no longer accidentally unplugs

[old swallow]

should be fine then

[stray tiger]

I won't get them until next week

[untold wigeon]

im new when it comes to the wooting settings i play fps games like cod fortnite and destiny 2 anyone with knowledge on what i should tweak in my wooting 60% would be awsome

[marsh saffron]

this is what i would use as a base

and just make specific profiles for games where you need to mess with extra keys/add more rapid trigger keys etc

[untold wigeon]

thx so no rapid trigger makes sense thx for the help @marsh saffron

[marsh saffron]

yeah i only use it on wasd

and some games that need extra binds that could benefit from it put it on those

[untold wigeon]

yoo are any milktooh switches as sensitive as raptors

???

[stray tiger]

Any switch for the Wooting boards are as sensitive as you set them in Wootility.

[obtuse fossil]

Guess the mods and switches

[median spade]

You used a phone mic

Challenge = impossible

[marsh saffron]

id do a sound test of my 60he but its kinda pointless

im might record one anyway

[obtuse fossil]

Try xD

[median spade]

Idk it just sounds like foam through a phone mic

[obtuse fossil]

No way lekkers can sound like that

Not even with shitty callcenter mics

[marsh saffron]

yeah my switches sound a bit clackier than that

[median spade]

All I hear if foam and pbt keycaps

[marsh saffron]

but ive genuinely heard some pretty damn good sounding lekkers

[untold wigeon]

im not talking about actuation

im talking about the switch sensitivity

[marsh saffron]

like how some switches can overload the HE sensor?

or wdym

spring weights?

[untold wigeon]

not tb switch actuation weight either

[stray tiger]

Im not sure what he means

[obtuse fossil]

Mine actually didnt sound bad i had filmed them and lubed + tapemod

[marsh saffron]

ive only got lube on mine

with PC plate and tape mod + wooting foam in a tofu

sounds really good but still has that lekker clack

[obtuse fossil]

I also have the pc tofu redux case

I might try this config with the alumaze i have it anyway might aswell try but i think i like the poly more

[marsh saffron]

im waiting for some silent/thocky HE switches that are compatible to come out before buying new switches

my oring for friction mount arrives today

excited to see how that sounds

[obtuse fossil]

Mine are geonworks raptor he (frankenswitch)

[median spade]

Im bored waiting for a package I should finaly make a proper soundtest of my 60he like all my other boards

[obtuse fossil]

What ya got as in keybs ?

[median spade]

I have a Haus, F1-8X, Julie, Zoom75, and salvation

and my 60he is just friction mounted in a freebird60

[marsh saffron]

for friction mount you dont use any screws at all in the case right?

[median spade]

ye

[marsh saffron]

is the friction enough that you can still line usbc up in tofu fine?

my oring is out for delivery rn

[median spade]

was fine when I did my tofu

[obtuse fossil]

Ah zoom 75 also have one i have the lilith (lego keyboard from kbd) i have a tofu2.0 /wooting and mode envoy

[marsh saffron]

alright

[fluid ravine]

Good afternoon mates

[fluid ravine]

heh-

[fluid ravine]

How many mods?

I could prob guess

[fluid ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/run-running-away-gif-25545707

[untold wigeon]

no idk what ur tb, not spring weights either, im getting the raptors because their magnet is the most sensitive and actuates the wooting the fastest

[obtuse fossil]

The usuals tbh

[untold wigeon]

i know what im doing in my game im not gonna accidentally press it

getting 20g springs too

[marsh saffron]

it doesnt actuate them any faster

[fluid ravine]

No like how many as in numbers of mods

[untold wigeon]

pretty sure thats the weight, i think i forgot a bit tho

[fluid ravine]

Wait usuals as in just lubing?

[obtuse fossil]

No aside from lubing

[fluid ravine]

oh

[marsh saffron]

the magnet being stronger doesnt make them have less latency

[fluid ravine]

What switches you got in your board

[obtuse fossil]

Raptor he

[untold wigeon]

i said words that make the most sense, no ones being literal.

if its .1mm then its .1mm, but if the magnent is more sensitive than its going to have the board think that its reached .1mm before it has

[fluid ravine]

Ah

[obtuse fossil]

Sounds deeper(thockier) irl tho

[untold wigeon]

no one has said it has lower latency and i doubt that you believe anyone assumed that

[marsh saffron]

thats not a good thing dude

[fluid ravine]

You just lubed them?

[untold wigeon]

for most, obv

[fluid ravine]

Like recently?

[marsh saffron]

for nobody

[obtuse fossil]

No i did more

[fluid ravine]

Oh? Whatchu do

[obtuse fossil]

Hmm i made it 2-3 days ago

[untold wigeon]

im not a casual lol, i appreciate the concern but if worst comes to worst i buy heavier springs n made a slim mistake

[fluid ravine]

I think you said filming right?

[untold wigeon]

im all g

i highly doubt it tho

[marsh saffron]

im not a casual either you just dont understand what you are talking about 💀

[obtuse fossil]

Actually that was about the lekker he’s

[marsh saffron]

bros thinks hes the prophet

[obtuse fossil]

But i did the frankenswitch (springswap/and using the stems of lekker on raptor he)

[fluid ravine]

Ic

[fluid ravine]

I can see what you mean by your board sounding deeper irl

[obtuse fossil]

Also tapemod + foam + filled my spacebar aswel

Its a poly case

[marsh saffron]

i too put foam in my space bar

[fluid ravine]

Oh polycase? interesting

Got my attention

[obtuse fossil]

Yea at first i didnt want one but it was the only redux in stock at the time

[marsh saffron]

i was kinda surprised how much foam in my spacebar did

[fluid ravine]

Wait redux? you mean acrylic?

[untold wigeon]

yea i dont understand what im tb lol

where did you get that from

like idk exactly what im doing 😭

[marsh saffron]

you clearly dont

[obtuse fossil]

Ah yea acrylic mb

[warm saddle]

Is it a good idea to buy ceramic keycaps with gateron jades? Won't they be pressing by themselves or something like it?

[fluid ravine]

If you're worried about the ceramic keycaps being to heavy you can spring swap into something heavier

[obtuse fossil]

Even if so springswap with stronger ones

[fluid ravine]

If you have the L60's it should be fine

[marsh saffron]

0.1mm doesnt come faster it just overloads the sensor past a certain actuation 💀

[fluid ravine]

There's spring packs coming out soon, heavier and lighter than the 60's

[warm saddle]

Thank you guys I think I'll do just what you've advised

[marsh saffron]

300g lekkers incoming

[fluid ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/bulking-not-sulking-no-pain-no-gain-protein-power-finger-training-work-out-gif-13768253

[median spade]

it appears my mic might have been damaged in moving

[obtuse fossil]

Btw any of you audiophile enthusiasts?

[fluid ravine]

Nah :D
Ditched keyboard modding for a month or two trying to learn stuff abt audio

[sage herald]

For anyone that swapped the lekkers for gatreons jades apart from the issues with the space bar stabilisers do the other stabiliser keys also have issues?

[spiral anvil]

Yes

[pastel vigil]

Ive had no issues at all

[idle pier]

@harsh dove Okay i tried the friction mount again and it's fucking amazing I don't think I ever want to go back. I just need to tune backspace which i found super high pitched for some reason since i did that but holy crap the whole board sounds very good and homogenous and the feel is not bad at all. I kept the foam at the bottom btw

[spiral anvil]

Only issues I've had with stabs was with TX AP

[marsh saffron]

mybuddy with jades has no stab issues

on stock stabs

[harsh dove]

Glad you got it the way you want it

[obtuse fossil]

Got some recommendations?

[wind karma]

nice!

[spiral anvil]

Budget, what form factor

[wind karma]

how does it feel compared to tray mount

[spiral anvil]

Open or closed

[obtuse fossil]

I like openback (used the dt-990pro and 770 pro and i am currently using sen hd660s2

[obtuse fossil]

Got links for the parts ?

[spiral anvil]

Budget?

[leaden pawn]

what's friction mount?

[obtuse fossil]

800-1k also i could use a better dac-amp if you know anything about those

[spiral anvil]

What you got currently for DAC/Amp?

[harsh dove]

Schiit Stack

[obtuse fossil]

Its when you mount ur pcb without screws (mostly using orings or gaskets to friction mount it to thz case

[obtuse fossil]

A very shitty fiio x11 or sum

[wind karma]

using an o ring between the plate and pcb you can get it in the case i think

[idle pier]

euuuhm what parts do you want?

[wind karma]

therell be friction cause of the o ring so it wont just fall out

[obtuse fossil]

The oring tbh

[idle pier]

instead of screwing the pcb you put an oring around the plate and try to make it fit in the case by pushing very hard

[marsh saffron]

graveshift orings

[wind karma]

^

[idle pier]

ali express ill get it

[wind karma]

felalex

how does it feel compared to tray mount

[marsh saffron]

this is where i ordered mine from, it arrives today

[leaden pawn]

got it. i heard 60he+ module wont work with such an oring?

[wind karma]

someone got it to work apparently..

[marsh saffron]

you just need thinner one iirc

[idle pier]

https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005003817877979.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.16.33c75e5bRas3H7&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra

[marsh saffron]

or something like that

[obtuse fossil]

Btw i might have overdone the foam and my pcb is slightly bent i hope that wont be an issue as in accuracy and timing ?

[idle pier]

this is what i used

[spiral anvil]

Any prefered tuning

[obtuse fossil]

Od105 3 mm ?

[idle pier]

170

[obtuse fossil]

I like the usuall v shaped sound but i want to sway away from that i want to have clearer high tones and snappy bass

[spiral anvil]

Philphone my beloved

Great bass for an open back

[obtuse fossil]

Oh heard about it is it ok for ingame aswell ? Directional audio ?

[spiral anvil]

Should be

[marsh saffron]

could just buy some truthear x crin zeros for gaming and something better for listening to music/watching stuff

[marsh saffron]

the zeros are op in game lol

[obtuse fossil]

Oh ill check it out thats also an option

[marsh saffron]

i have some zero reds and they are op asf also sound great for music

i use them as my main for everything (im not an audiophile)

[spiral anvil]

Philphone would probably give you a wider soundstage

[marsh saffron]

they are very cheap as well

like 50-60 usd iirc

[obtuse fossil]

Comparable to hd660s2 ?

[spiral anvil]

Don't have HD660s2 but compared to HD6XX yea

[obtuse fossil]

Because to be honest i like the hd6xx more than 660s2

[spiral anvil]

[obtuse fossil]

I think they really flopped there are no real upgrades in my opinion

[spiral anvil]

Honestly source memes are for that last 5%

Probably can get the Fosi DS1 and forget about sources

Or go for their new desktop setup

[obtuse fossil]

I think ill go this route im looking for mainly desk dac amps

[spiral anvil]

SK1 iirc

Sources aren't really worth investing too much into outside of power requirements

[obtuse fossil]

Wow the fosi is so small and still good enough ?

Gotta love tech

[obtuse fossil]

Kinda true aslong as it runs it should be fine

[spiral anvil]

Yep

Been running my 600Ohm buds just fine

[obtuse fossil]

Ah feels good man

[median spade]

upon making this sound test my sensor has a red dot

[marsh saffron]

where do i find the beta build of wootility?

[somber roost]

https://beta.wootility.io/

[marsh saffron]

just takes me to this

and when i click download it brings the non beta build up

[somber roost]

huh are you on a chromium browser?

[marsh saffron]

i use firefox

[somber roost]

firefox does not support webusb unfortunately, so it will not work

[marsh saffron]

i want to download the beta build

can we not do that?

[somber roost]

firefox just doesnt want to support webusb so gotta use something like edge, chrome brave arc, anything chromium based would work

[median spade]

uncommon firefox L

[marsh saffron]

so is that a no there isnt a downloadable beta version

[somber roost]

oh that was your question lol, dont think theres a downloadable version

[marsh saffron]

thats annoying

[somber roost]

[cedar gate]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CQTG2RHL/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A24R95VR7GPNGC&psc=1

Is that legit idk bc 0 reviews and the brand is pakjel not geon?

[polar girder]

Love it

[drifting bronze]

Is this bad?

Uh guys help please

It is stuck

[harsh shadow]

yo

do ceramic keyboards work well with the two he?

[marsh dune]

i've read people using cerakeys fine, 50/50 on if the spacebar will be too heavy without spring replacement

but also read that if you get them with legends, they wear pretty quick as in a month or two

[stark osprey]

Probably with early V1's, which are discontinued. Have had V2s with legends for 3 months now, no issues.

[marsh dune]

ooo that's good news then. I plan to order some gateron jades and cerakeys but been debating if i should just go for PBTs instead. Might just hop on for cerakeys

[stark osprey]

If going Jades might have to spring swap to compensate weight of the spacebar. FWIW I'm on L45s with L60 for spacebar only.

[marsh saffron]

oh my god friction mount feels so good

[wind karma]

real?

how do it feel

[marsh saffron]

it feels softer

[wind karma]

cuz im going to friction mount as well

[marsh saffron]

the bottom out feels a lot softer

was a bit of a pain to get in but once i figured out a decent way to do it, it wasnt bad

[wind karma]

i see!

does the soft bottom out make you play any worse

[marsh saffron]

i dont think it will

just feels a lot better to type

[wind karma]

thats good to hear. are you using screw in stabs?

[marsh saffron]

no i have the stock plate mount of the regular 60he

[wind karma]

ah okay

[marsh saffron]

lubed/tuned

[wind karma]

i’m taking a gamble i guess

module with friction mount

[marsh saffron]

for screw ins you just need a thinner oring i think cam said

[wind karma]

yeah i think so. i hope it’ll work

good to hear youre liking it tho

[marsh saffron]

the website i ordered mine off gave me a free switch

white housing with a pink stem, its non HE

[wind karma]

a single switch?

[marsh saffron]

feels linear

[marsh saffron]

yeah ive seen keyboard enthusiat companies do that all the time

just send out random switches for people to just play with/maybe consider buying

[wind karma]

oh damn. i’m only into the wooting modding community so i never saw this

[marsh saffron]

ive seen it from people posting about it here but first time it happened to me

[wind karma]

thats cool

do you have modded non wooting kbs

[marsh saffron]

ive got my brothers here

i lubed/tuned his stabs and tape modded it

[wind karma]

switches?

[marsh saffron]

lubed switches and stabs

[wind karma]

ah

how does it feel to type on compared to your kb now

[marsh saffron]

its still pretty good but nowhere near what mine feels like/sounds like

[wind karma]

cuz i keep hearing people saying normal customs feel better to type on but i don’t understand that really

[marsh saffron]

the lube on his switches also hasnt broken in any amount

so its still extra quiet

[wind karma]

especially with jades and ks20U now

[marsh saffron]

HE switches kinda suck

[wind karma]

oh oh

[marsh saffron]

in terms of sound

jades are like the best example of good sounding HE switches as of rn

[wind karma]

yeah i can agree with that but im talking mainly about feel

when typing

[marsh saffron]

i havent tried anything but lekkers so i cant personally say

[wind karma]

yup

[marsh saffron]

but stem wobble and open bottom is a big issue with he switches people say

[wind karma]

oh youre still on lekkers right

[marsh saffron]

the open bottom makes the bottom out not feel good

[wind karma]

ah

[marsh saffron]

and you hear more keycap/plate than actual switch noise

[wind karma]

good thing i bought jades i guess?

[marsh saffron]

yeah they help a lot for sound and feel

i only didnt buy them because im waiting for silent switches

[wind karma]

yup

[marsh saffron]

/really thocky HE switches

i can try and record a sound test

[wind karma]

i want a deep sounding jade…

[marsh saffron]

yeah if jades were more thocky/a lot deeper

id have picked them up no hesitation

but they are a bit higher pitched than id like

[wind karma]

same i only hesitated cause it’s on the clackier side but its 3.5 mm and thats what im used to

i think ill get used to it so its find

fine**

[marsh saffron]

i wish those sticky rice or whatever they are called were more compatible with wooting

they sound so good

[wind karma]

i might try out stuff like MLV and moleskin tape

[marsh saffron]

but they overload the sensor at like 3mm or some shit

[marsh saffron]

im just using masking tape but want to try moleskin
