Hahaha wtf

#

its an accident

I mean I’m sure tirade would hook you up if you did but idk

stray tiger
#

No, I had to have custom plates made for it. I have an aluminum one and a POM one

hey, im new here and im planning to buy a 60HE+ and mod it. So i have couple questions... im planning to go with Cerakey keycap set and everglide sticky rice he switches, but the problem is what kind of springs is recommended with ceramic keycaps since they are heavy? The original Sticky Rice actuation force is 40g and the bottom out force is 50g straight out of the box

haughty spoke
harsh dove
#

Well start with what ThockFather posted, please read it thoroughly

haughty spoke
#

will do

harsh dove
#

Did you get the prebuilt or module?

indigo ibex

harsh dove
#

You should get a discount on the alumaze when paired with the module

#

I’d also be wary of the Sticky Rice switches until further testing has been done on the “new” ones

haughty spoke
#

gotcha, i will keep that in mind

indigo ibex

#

Jade springs are lighter than lekker 60s

sterile apex
#

Do i need the base or 2u, and do i need the 1.6 or 1.2 for wooting 60he+

sterile apex
#

thanks dawg

pastel vigil
#

But I don't recomend changing stabs, especially TX.

#

You are likely to run into issues.

sterile apex
#

then what should get or should i just keep the stock stabs

haughty spoke
pastel vigil
#

Do you have a reason to be changing them or are you just trying to upgrade?

elfin garnet
#

Yeah I see people getting TX stabs on here and I never see why. Stock stabs are great, even with jades

sterile apex
#

trying to upgrade to sound the best @pastel vigil

pastel vigil
#

Many of us here with multiple modded 60hes will tell you the stock stabs are more than good enough.

#

Stab swaps don't really accomplish anything. Just need to lube and tune the stabs you got.

sterile apex
pastel vigil
pastel vigil
#

Hand lubing is just always more consistent than factory lube, but factory lube is "good enough"

polar girder
#

I bought TX AP stabs but after lubing stock stabs the TX AP staying in box

sterile apex
#

Here is what im getting and what I have to upgrade the 60he, I bought, tofue 60 redux, wooting lube set, and wooting set with the painters brush, ect. I also bought o rings for burger mount, gpl 105 keyboard lube, a stem holder, and i also got foam liner for inner keyboard. and I will be doing a tape mod. Is there anything else that I should get to make it sound the best? @pastel vigil

pastel vigil
#

It's all preference, there is no set guideline on how to make it sound best.

#

Feel is just as important as sound, too.

sterile apex
#

I just want it to feel good and thocky

harsh dove
pastel vigil
#

In either case, you just need to trial and error your way through it.

sterile apex
#

but what i got is pretty much what everyone does when they mod the 60he?

pastel vigil
#

If by thocky you mean muted and low pitched then stock case is best for that.

pastel vigil

#

can you show me how yours sounds and if i like it i can just base it off of what you did

quiet shoal
#

just installed my ws dash switches

sterile apex

#

I literally just took out the jades

haughty spoke
#

gotcha @pastel vigil @harsh dove

harsh dove
#

Jades are the exact same thing as WS Dash

#

Just a stem recolor

quiet shoal
#

honestly, the feeling is quiet similar, in terms of the force, it is a 5 gram difference in terms of pressure

#

CAM they are not, as much as i would like to agree

#

the stem is a bit stronger in the sense that there is a noticeable difference in term of key wobble

sterile apex
#

@pastel vigil will the tofu 60 redux make the keyboard louder?

pastel vigil
quiet shoal
#

from the jades, the dashes are studier

L45 springs goated

sterile apex
#

i have no idea how people need lighter springs, the stock springs are so light that when at .1 mm i will accidently walk forwards lmfaoo

sterile apex
pastel vigil
#

I am building a tofu redux tomorrow. But it's acyrlic, so it won't sound anything close to all the metal tofus people have.

pastel vigil
sterile apex
#

also what did you mean by tune the stock stabs? @pastel vigil '

#

ahh

pastel vigil
# sterile apex also what did you mean by tune the stock stabs? <@165993112139726848> '

Here is how I mod my stabilizers. I get asked this a lot of my streams and honestly, I figured why not just record this so I can link this video instead of having to re-explain it every time. I hope you enjoy it. Please remember this video is only covering lubing and installing, some stabs like cherry clip-ins, you'll need to clip the bottom leg...

And yes I saw the 5g difference, I also asked about that. Could be a typo or misinformation

I will conduct a wobble test for you guys

sterile apex
#

i never knew that

pastel vigil
# sterile apex im in FL so i get a lot of humidity

In theory, you be with someone as they record a sound test, and it will sound different to what you heard in person. Then you can take that exact board to your house, and it will sound different than what it osunded like at the owners house. There's just waaaay too many factors, sound tests are not really informative in the way people think they are.

sterile apex
#

@pastel vigil but what do you mean though about the stock case being better than the tofu? or any alum case?

pastel vigil
sterile apex
#

so will the metal case sound louder?

pastel vigil
#

plastic is just always going to be more muted and lower pitched than a metal case

polar girder

Fk

let me try to find 2 comparing eachother

#keybored Aerospace Engineer Explains Mechanical Keyboards

So... Throughout the year, I have force-fed my viewers physics, thinly disguised as a "keyboard video." Surprisingly, many of you guys actually liked the science content, and wanted them all combined into 1 "MASTER" video, so you can torture yourselves... or for those nights you can't ...

how does a brass weight affect the sound?

pastel vigil
#

idk i haven't tried it yet.

sterile apex
#

wow tf

pastel vigil
#

I'm really excited to build the acrylic with the brass

#

Module delivery delayed from today to tomorrow and I am working overtime tomorrow rip

gentle silo
# sterile apex how does a brass weight affect the sound?

Brass absorbs the vibrations better than alu (hence why many custoim keyboards have big heavy weight inside them), so it deepens the sound a littel. But the puny littel weight available of the redux wont do much in that affect.

Can you guys send a picture of your keyboard? Im trying to see something 👀

who tf came up with this shit bro 😭

pastel vigil
heavy surge

#

There is a difference

#

The color of the stem that is

pastel vigil
#

The difference is more likely due to placement imo

#

Even using the same switches, my keys sound different.

harsh dove
#

Yep yep

median spade
#

Closest you can get is a gasket mount but even then

median spade
polar girder
gentle silo
# median spade Did you even watch the video I made lol

Yes i did but tapping on the case and typing on a keyboard are different thing. The difference will get less and less once you add stuff like sound dampening and burger mount, essentially isolating the Typing assembly from the case.
What the video is showing off is more like the difference in case ping. Airborn Vibrations (sounds that come off you pcb assemlby) will not be impacted as much by a small weight (like the one used in the redux)
I never said that it would't make a difference, just not a huge one.

#

guys how should i mod my wooting keyboard?

quiet shoal
#

the stem wobble is better on the dashes than the jades

#

100% I don't what it is, whether the housing or what, but it is better, and if you don't believe me that is fine, but I notice it

#

dash > Jade

quiet shoal
#

for the same price too on milktooth, i would say if you can get the ws dashes, then do it

quiet shoal
#

nope

median spade
#

100% is

#

it's literally just a stem recolor with nothing different

pastel vigil
#

The manufactorer literally confiremed its the same stem dude

quiet shoal
median spade
#

Once again bias and placebo lol

quiet shoal
#

which is a nice "subtle" change

pastel vigil
#

Probably the variance from switch to switch and batch to batch than any technical change in manufactoring or design

#

But hey if you are happy with it that's all that counts

quiet shoal
#

im not saying you guys are wrong either, perhaps it may even come down to the in-house lube just being a tad better than my jades, but to me they are solid, and a nice color haha

#

I dont personally, lube my switches, I jsut swapped out the stock stabilizers for staebies and lubed thsoe

harsh dove
#

Yeah like they said, entirely possible they’re better factory lubed, small variances from batch to batch, but I doubt there was any actual manufacturing change besides the recolor

#

And hey if they feel better , then all the more power to em

median spade
#

40 seconds with no weight if you want to skip the middle

#

Same concept can be applied to the redux

quiet shoal
#

oooo love that ping ngl

#

gives me hydroflask vibes

You should try stem swapping the Jades with Dashes, see which ones you like more then.

@gentle silo just to further show the weight does make a big difference

that was more work that I expected but i was bored

more noticeable without deskmat too

but i went with use case most would do

repost:
I already have jades, do i try KS20 DUAL RAIL or STICKY RICE next?

#

repost 2:

#

"Glutinous Rice" == Sticky Rice?

sour blade
#

noted

stray tiger
harsh dove
#

So def try the dual rails if you got the funds

#

You’ll probably notice like the rest of us who have tested that they’re basically just lekkers with more stability

#

Ideally if you’re happy with Jades, I’d just stick with those tbh , you’re not really gonna find anything better currently

I encoureage tinkerers to tinker, but for most people looking for a good (gaming) keyboard there really is no need to be doing so much.

Hey so I swapped my keycaps and noticed that the plate isn’t screwed into the pcb. This is intentional yes?

#

I’m just tripping then right? It just fits into the pcb because of the switch stems yes?

because the switches themselves are mounted onto the plate

sleek schooner

Lemme put yall onto something, these switches feel and sound INCREDIBLE

there's rattling in your shift key tho >:v

Thats stabs not switches though. Gotta relube those guys!

I just want it to be in place

You know what I mean?

It will if those switches start to pull away from the PCB. They might be magnets but they dont stick to the PCB

Also it's funny it's called long stem, but it's not long stem, it's just thick bottom housing that creates the limited travel.

latent fern
#

long bottom???

polar girder
#

But if you put a short pole in a long stem box with a little bit of movement then you might have long pole with a lot of movement in a short bottom long pole switch.

Right?

Also a question for yall, do you guys think polyfill instead of case foam really makes a difference?

It does

#

And it’s a cheap mod

indigo ibex

Hmm ok

#

I will try it on my current blade60 build but uh I don't think it would work on the holy60 💀💀

harsh dove
#

It probably would not, you’d likely just have polyfill leaking out everywhere lol

indigo ibex
#

Lmfao

#

I wonder if like a sort of fabric pad filled with polyfil would do anything

#

Hard to explain exactly what I mean but you probably get the idea

harsh dove

Like a 60% pillow?

indigo ibex

Yeah basically lmao

is it possible to do a foam and tape mod if i got a tofu 60 case with the brass in it

Rip it apart?

in the wooting theres foam already

Anyone have experience with sanding pc plate?

#

Seems my screw in stabilizer dont fit

Should i use normal sanding stick and buff it later to higher grid or just sand it coarsely

harsh dove

What stabilizers did you get?

torpid raft
#

Tx ap

#

Eh i dont sand the pcb

#

I mean the plate lol

pastel vigil
torpid raft
#

Well tbf i have an ocd with sanding (mostly bc of gunpla) so i was sus.. if i should sand plate like gunpla or not dogekek

#

Like buff it into 2000 grid sth

#

But seems ill need to wash the plate later since i bet it will gather dust

#

And idk if scribing it with hobby knife will be better

sour blade
#

yes you will have to sand the pc plate

#

you will have to first figure out which direction you need to sand, and how much you sand.
to do this, first assemble the stabilizers, switches, and keycaps
and then use tools to reach and push around the stablizer housing until stablizer goes down smoothly

torpid raft
sour blade
#

if you happen to oversand its not game over
you can attach layers of tape on the side of the stabilizer to fill in the space

but i recommend going slow and doing multiple tests between sanding to avoid having to do this fix

#

worst case scenario you have to live with knowing underneath the hood your board is a little bit scuffed

#

(me rn)

torpid raft
sour blade
#

no the material removed is not that much, you can very likely wipe it away with a wet paper towel or something

#

unless it gets very very messy

torpid raft
#

Noted

#

And i dont need to buff it like to 2000 grid later right

#

Just sand coarsely witj 400 grif stick should be ok

sour blade
#

should be ok
up to you if you want it smooth

torpid raft
#

Noted

#

Thanks for make it clearer 🙂

sour blade
#

always good to stick your sandpaper on something flat so sanding is easier and more even

torpid raft
#

I use sth like this eh with sticky sanding tape

#

Should be ok pepecry

sour blade
#

thats fire

#

good tools

torpid raft
#

Tbf i plan to scribe it with scribber/model knife but seems sanding is saver

sour blade
#

oh

#

i did that too

#

my skills were bad and some were unbalanced

but if you have good control and can keep it flat then that would work too

Does someone know if the ISO version 60HE (non-plus) steel plate is compatible with 60HE+ Module (to replace PC plate with steel)? Or are the standoffs different?

(edit - I forgot to mention that I have ISO-version of the board)

cedar finch
#

just swapped to jades sounds amazing. i read i should be using the beta wootility now, but is there any change i actually have to make or leave it as if/

#

so if i have keys set at 4.0 actuation in reality its now 3.5 right

paper bloom
#

None of them re different the difference between the NON PLus and the 60HE+ is just a stab change the rest remain

#

It means that the 60HE+ can be compatible to screw in stabs unlike the Nonplus variant

They’re the exact same switch

Go with whatever’s cheaper

just buy lekkers

didn't you hear what shroud said

if you use wooting you have to use wooting switches

otherwise gg pal you're going to be losing

Not only is the performance of the 80HE on-point, we also have thought about making some modifications to the board to improve the quality of the sound. And as an extra bonus we are showing our cases so you have a reference how it might look like closer to final.

Not bad, only thing I personally think was a bad decision is the poron pads under the stabs. Never seen anyone like that mod, or actually thought it was beneficial outside making stabs feel mushy tbh

Easy fix of course with disassembly

Yeah of course

they've already talked about it

That’s how they’re mounting it

Unless you mean case foam

Yeah case foam

#

You can’t remove the silicone pad

Cause it acts as the gasket mount

This is the version you want Firmware v2.7.3-beta.6

The core changes of this beta release are focused on getting it ready for a stable release with some improvements.

  • Refined how key press detection works to make it more reliable and sensitive
  • Updated how calibration is preserved across different profiles

i would use it, but i never actually download wootility, i just like using the web based version
