You can still use the web version with the beta firmware and you can use beta wootility https://beta.wootility.io/

oh shit

#

i never knew

#

thanks dad, will for sure be using this for now. since im also on jades

stray tiger

Please let me know if you experience any issues!

Ordered 70g springs to test with cerakeys

#

Hopefully it fixes my bouncing

pastel vigil
#

It should, using lekker 60 springs seems to fix it for most people.

if you think they sound over lubed the lube will smoothen out overtime when u use it

lost edge
#

Thanks, I thought I over lubed my stabs for a sec

quiet bay
#

such a nice case and such interesting keycap choice (no offense)

pastel vigil
#

This is just how it goes sometimes. You try it all and end up where you started lmao

quiet bay
#

get better sounding/feeling switches and nicer keycaps now 🫠

damn

me personally woulda kept it for myself 😏

#

"test typing" rn

quiet bay
#

so basically you achieved your dream for someone else but your money limits limit you to the crappier wooting

#

ah so the other way

#

why ks20's tho

#

they're like

#

no different from lekkers

sour blade
#

yeah its just what they got

#

yeah theyre just lekkers

quiet bay
#

waste of money 😢

#

could've put that money toward nicer keycaps

sour blade
#

lmao

#

how is that even possible

#

i fixed it and lubed it ofc but

quiet bay
#

how can it sound worse than stock lekkers 💀

sour blade
#

yeah theres something interesting about the lekker's sound though

quiet bay
#

I call it the signature sound of HE switches

#

because like all of them have that one particular sound

#

that differs from mx switches

sour blade
#

theres some resonance in the switch and the keycaps that gives it a bit of character

quiet bay
#

with modding it's kinda harder to tell tho

sour blade
#

heavily modded boards have a more one dimensional sound, the sound might have a higher quality but it doesnt have depth to it

quiet bay
#

the day he switches sound and feel like good mx switches is the day im going broke

sour blade
#

yeah we are far from that thankfully

latent fern
#

i feel like your hands just get tired of typing on the same thing so the change feels refreshing

#

even if the change is a downgrade technically

Does anyone happen to know what would be a good Silicone dimension or washer for a tofu redux 60 on the wooting ? i plan to do a burgermount

# paper bloom Does anyone happen to know what would be a good Silicone dimension or washer for...

I think it's the same size as the one you get for Alumaze, check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KJQYkAw1q8

The TOFU keyboard by KBD Fans has long been considered one of the gateways into the mechanical keyboard hobby. As a readily in-stock, and relatively budget board, it's no wonder it's become super popular and there have been a plethora of mods designed with this board in mind to make it sound the best it can for its price point.

Also, does anyone have a modlist for the 80he they're planning to do? This is going to be my first time modding a keyboard

paper bloom
#

I dont own a 80HE but it applies to others keyboards

sterile apex
#

hey so i just lubed all of my switches and greased my stabs. after putting them all back in and putting the PC plate on and the silicone cushion in between my space bar makes a weird click noise and my backspace feels sluggish did i apply too much?

paper bloom
#

most likely

sterile apex
#

do i have to take the whole thing apart?

#

or can i just take the switch out and open it up and clean it out?

paper bloom
#

U can take the switch apart and clean it out

#

or u can try

#

and use it and then try to wear it down ig

#

idk for this part

#

u gotta ask someone else

sterile apex
#

but i just looked at the stabs and they’re super wiggly

wait is yours a plate mounted stabilizer or

Screw ins?

Yea ok then its normal

sterile apex

the backspace feels normal now just laying in bed smacking it lmao

paper bloom

lmao

sterile apex

i think the stabilizers just need to be more solid

#

they’re suuuper wiggly

paper bloom

well if ur running the Module

u got screw ins

if ur not then its a prebuilt

paper bloom

it said in FAQ u will need a longer one unless we alrdy got it

welp we'll see

#

for those who ordered their tofu60 from kbd, am i supposed to get a tracking code? its been a couple days and all i see is my order number and shippin method

toxic surge
#

would be great

agile grove
glad raft
#

random question a bit but, why do people get tofu's instead of the alumaze? I checked and they're both almost the same price

leaden pawn
wind karma
glad raft
#

ohhh okay! i actually like the look of the alumaze thats why i didnt think it'd be a reason people consider otehr options

wind karma
#

ah

leaden pawn
#

maybe without that strap hole it would be better, but like that - meh

glad raft
#

I see! yeah that makes sense

wind karma
glad raft
#

i ordered these and i'm gonna pair it with the Gateron jade switches + XDA profile keycaps i found on amazon, something from Epomaker

#

I like how the tofu has many more color options but I also thought it isn't worth it because of how much more expensive it gets (if I count the fact I'd have to pay shipping twice)

glad raft
#

they're called Epomaker iceberg, I like the blue theme on it!

I play piano, maybe that's why?

cedar gate

Xda might have fatigue with it

robust fiber
#

I’m not a fan of cherry or oem

cedar gate
robust fiber
#

it’s good

#

My typing speed increased by quite a bit

glad raft
#

the thing is, I didn't even judge my choice basied on specs or anything like that

I simply checked a video with a sound comparison and really liked the thoccness of XDA's

robust fiber
#

more comfortable on xda

glad raft
#
  • XDA's look so much better for some reason
robust fiber
#

True

#

I like the symmetry

glad raft
#

I really like it !! nice keyboard

#

if i don't like the XDA's ill probably pop them on my other keyboard or smth

#

or use it later for the 80he

#

i'm not sold on the gateron jade switches tbhhh but, our market really sucks when it comes to switches, and I don't wanna deal with aliexpress because of bad experiences before 😭

It’s already modded for you.

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.

No need for tape mod and burger mount and bandaid mod and all that extra stuff

#

And it’s a gasket mount board, no need for burger mount

#

Wouldn’t even be able too

obtuse fossil
#

maybe a stupid questionm guys but can we mix switches ?

#

i would like to have a mix of ws dashes and raptors on my wooting will that have any performance issues ?

elfin garnet
#

Feel free to mix switches. No issue with doing that

#

I know some people who mix which spring they have in certain switches as well. Lighter spring in right shift for example because you have to hold it down so much in certain games

what are some case options for modding the wooting besides the tofu?

obtuse fossil
#

i found the tofu most pleasing to the eye and price aswell

loud tiger
#

So

#

I've been looking at the mechanical keyboard subreddit and these type of Keycaps caught my eyes

#

Anyone else here uses translucent Keycaps? They look sick

loud tiger
#

Got it

#

Wtf

#

This is exactly what I was looking for

#

The translucent Keycaps that show rgb through them!

#

Ik cerakeys makes them but I didn't feel like dropping $100

normal schooner
#

The surface of translucent keycaps are in my opinion way too smooth

loud tiger
#

Huh

#

Slippery?

normal schooner
#

yes, I prefer more rugged keycaps I noticed

loud tiger
#

Ah I see

#

I guess i could return them if they are too slipperly

harsh dove
#

Yeah

#

And those that I sent you are PBT instead of ABS , like the ones you showed

loud tiger
#

Well the wooting will support either, right?

harsh dove
#

yep

loud tiger
#

As long as they are cherry profile

harsh dove
#

Just different materials

#

They feel and sound different

loud tiger
#

Ah I see

normal schooner
#

or you can get the cooler wooting keycaps

#

cherry profile pbt

median spade
#

Yes… cooler…

elfin garnet

Nooo the salvation is not on sale anymore. Was about to order it

median spade

Yeah it was a 12 hour sale is all

Didnt know that. Guess Ill have to wait for the next one

tawdry ore

Do y’all think I can get away with 70g springs inside of gateron jade housing

harsh dove

Sure

leaden pawn

the best keys

It’s mainly bc of cerakeys

does anyone know if there is a way to order the wooting 60 plastic case?

pastel vigil
elfin garnet

You can buy mine for $380

#

lol

sterile apex
#

is it electrical tape or duct tape for the stab mod

#

at the store rn lmao

harsh dove

Both of those leave too much residue

#

And duct tape is far too strong

#

What mod are you referring too?

pastel vigil
elfin garnet
#

😅 just tryna finace my salvation lol

pastel vigil
sterile apex
#

i found it it was a bandaid mod

pastel vigil
#

It's called the bandaid mod because you use a bandaid for it.

robust fiber
#

Why does #FFFFFF look bluish green

#

Is it because of the jades

pastel vigil
robust fiber
#

hmm

#

why’s the white looking so blue tho

velvet egret
#

^ Facts though

robust fiber
#

it’s 1rgb doing all the work

velvet egret
#

fully white on jades does change the colour of bare white

pastel vigil
#

Didn't have that issue with my jades, might be your keycaps or something.

robust fiber
#

Keycaps is grey

#

it’s not a big deal I’ll try going with gold rgb

#

#ffc700

velvet egret
#

Hard to tell but you can kinda see it

robust fiber
#

Is that 100% brightness

velvet egret
#

no

robust fiber
#

70%?

velvet egret
#

64

robust fiber
#

I run at 70% because of tachyon

velvet egret
#

100% makes the colouring difference worse

#

this ia 100%

robust fiber
#

Does wooting have the best rgb out of any keyboard

velvet egret
#

but camera dont do it justice

robust fiber
#

they are significantly brighter than my ek68

velvet egret
#

really dont care about rgb only run it at night

robust fiber
#

I have it on all the time

#

What’s the shortcut for screenshot

#

Or is there one

#

other than win shift s

#

my old kb was fn + i

velvet egret
#

or press prnt scr xD

#

prob gotta keybind it though

obtuse fossil
#

This is howmuch raptors interfere with the shinetrough

robust fiber
#

Is that meant to be all white?

obtuse fossil
#

Left and righr + space are the jades

#

The rest raptor

#

Ill show white

pastel vigil
obtuse fossil
#

Raptor and the jades huge difference

robust fiber
#

Huhhh

#

That’s white?

obtuse fossil
pastel vigil
#

Most pointless switch

obtuse fossil
obtuse fossil
#

I dont use rgb usually so its fine

#

Im gonna use jades tho they feel good

#

I mean ws dash

pastel vigil
#

I don't use RGB either.

robust fiber
#

I love the rgb on this

#

Rgb looks like it’s spilling out

#

Imagine if keycaps underside was reflective

obtuse fossil
#

If u want more rgb get a acrylic case and some pudding keycaps

#

(I have foam and tapemod) wich blocks the rgb from shining trough completely on to the case

robust fiber
#

Nah that’s too far

#

I won’t be changing my kb anytime soon

obtuse fossil

just giving ideas i use mine without rgb

#

what case u rocking

I want to buy TX stabilizers but I don't understand the meaning of "Size= 1,6T". What kind of size are we talking about here?

ooh okay the pic u sent looked like it was stock

#

also have the redux (acrylic)

robust fiber
#

Better picture

obtuse fossil
#

never had any other case material than alu or steel so i wanted to try

#

so far so good i dont regret it only waiting for the weight to be in stock

robust fiber
#

I got it with the weight

#

£91

#

$20 for shipping

marsh saffron
#

Once wooting makes an all white coiled cable I'm gonna get it

marsh saffron
#

Mine was like 150 cad

robust fiber
#

$20 shipping

#

paid extra for faster shipping

marsh saffron
#

My shipping was 26$ + 32$ import fee..

pastel vigil
obtuse fossil
#

Gonna go full ws dash

median spade
#

If you already got frankenraptors just wait tbh

#

Jades are nice but unless you really care about sound wait for new stuff to come

#

Also jades cheaper on aliexpress if you go that route

Also got to see X-ray caps in person and they are going to be a must buy

median spade

I shall get them hearing that

#

I liked the look from seeing them already as is

marsh saffron
#

Hope some decent clones come out I might pick a set up

median spade
#

they're already pretty cost effective

#

doubt clones of xray going to happen as a lot more specific then other keycaps colors wise

marsh saffron
stray tiger
marsh saffron
#

Yeah but I'm not gonna spend 200+ cad on a group buy

stray tiger
#

More technical than color obviously, but I learned a bit today. Apparently each cap has to be hand painted with white acrylic paint inside to cover up some screw holes. Let me see if I can find a pic

median spade
#

hmm yeah other pbtfans listing in canada run sites are like 200 cad

#

canada money is monopoly money at this piont

stray tiger
#

See the 2 holes under the D?

#

Those are black by default (well not colored in so just look black) those have to be hand painted white

marsh saffron
#

But those seem worth it to me

#

Those X-ray look so good but the price is probably crazy for me

#

Is there a price for them yet?

#

I just see interest check (idk what that even means)

#

Oh they are just seeing how many people want them

median spade
#

Probs $100 for base kit im guessing

#

based on other stuff

marsh saffron
#

If it's 100$ that's not much more than pbtfans BoW

#

After shipping and tax it'd probably be around 180 cad still pepecry

I didn't ask but I will

harsh dove

If it's hand painted, I doubt it's something that will be in stock

#

Probably limited to the GB

@harsh dove You were right. Moleskin is best tape.

#

I just got done adding it on. I also am taking the KS20us for a spin and retiring the raptors.

cedar gate
pastel vigil

I think it's worth

quiet bay

Its nice tape to get a deeper sound profile

#

I use it too

pastel vigil

Im also using a new foam that seems to sound really good imo. This is using stock foam. The other 2 have the new foam

marsh saffron

correct, however they are trying to run the country into the ground during their last bit of time in power as much as they can

pastel vigil
#

Generally speaking, no party actively tries to make a country worse. They just disagree on how.

pastel vigil
#

What's actually the problem is the fact that corporations have more sway than people and sometimes politicians and that's leading to a downward spiral imo.

It wouldn't be any better with conservatives at the wheel.

glad raft
#

question, has anyone compared the alumaze to the tofu redux?
does the brass plate make it a better case

in terms of design I like both which is why idk which one to get

marsh saffron
#

i got the brass plate in my tofu, mostly just for the extra weight

glad raft
#

it's hard to decide when I haven't heard both on the exact same setup yknow?

#

I like creamy keyboards

marsh saffron
#

i love the look of the tofu far more than alumaze

#

was sad to give up the strap, but it was worth it

glad raft
#

I liked the addition of the strap part

marsh saffron
#

i love the strap, but dislike the gold accent/proportions of the case

#

the tofu is much more simple and cleaner i think

#

was a tough decision for me but i went tofu in the end and do not regret it

glad raft
#

ooo I feel like that can be modded because the gold accent is actually a separate part

marsh saffron
#

yeah it can easily be painted/vinyl wrapped

glad raft
#

lovely keyboard! I love white

marsh saffron
#

but i dont really like the proportions that the accent gives the case

glad raft

I wanted my whole setup to be white but some things are in the way that I can't change

what keycaps are those?

marsh saffron
marsh saffron

they are

so might as well just buy it in my pre order

cause like black sinethrough is nice and all

but pudding keycaps

shinyyy

#

so idk

marsh saffron
hybrid cairn
#

theyre clean ngl

#

but for $75...

#

what makes these ones cost so much

marsh saffron
#

they are just high quality keycaps

#

thats a fair price for good keycaps

hybrid cairn
#

its double shot pbt

#

and like

#

no offense

#

but that shouldnt be $75

#

esp since its a no design one

#

unless im missing something

#

most good double shot pbt that isnt hella inflated is like 35-50

#

iirc

marsh saffron

Can you Lube magnetic switches the same way you lube normal spring switches?

austere creek
#

yes

pseudo flame
#

Do raptor bottom housings fit with any other switch top housings

sterile adder
#

do you know what housing style it is? Ie. winglatch or 4pin

#

Kailh uses the winglatch (2 contact points, left on image) style, while brands like cherry and outemu use four pin (4 contact points, right on image)

Hi there ordering Wooting60he+ was wondering if I could get it in white case with the white 60HE+ Module - also what foarms etc are used?

Appreciate it :)

Even tho i dont got a 80HE im running a 60HE there are also 3rd party stuff out there but idk

limber atlas
#

Mmm okay, i’m gonna read the channel you sent me and i’ll see on youtube also

#

Thank you very much

Is cool

Or the website itself

I hope it's not too much of a newbie question but I've heard it's recommended to re-lube switches after a year. But where does the applied lube disappear? IIRC the switch is a quiet "close" environment 🤔

median spade
#

I read that totally wrong

#

Disregard

median spade
#

There is no high quality pudding or shine through abs

quiet bay
#

He is pretty right...they all look cheap

median spade
#

just isn't a market for people wanting high end either of those

glad raft
#

is there anyone who modded their alumaze? specifcally the side gold accent

I kind of want to like, make it white or black, and I'm wondering what will I need to do that

#

do I have to paint it or can I wrap it?

hushed tangle
#

New to the whole custom keyboard scene, if i get a twoHE, and get jade switches does that affect the ability to adjust actuation points / analog ability?

Any new switches in the market?

hushed tangle

#

that's one thing I've never understood, where are you guys setting bottom out in wootility? FeelsThinkingMan

#

I know of actuation of course, but no where have I seen bottom out

tawdry ore
tawdry ore
median spade
#

Yeah so not sure why it gets brought up lol

#

why would you ever want your switch to actuate at 3.5mm

pastel vigil
#

Anyway, the way the software works it's more accurate to say 0% to 100% than it is to say 4mm

tawdry ore
#

for not tabbing out

pastel vigil
#

because even on jades you can set actuation to 4mm

#

and it still works

median spade
#

ye as it's just sensing the magnet in relative position

pastel vigil
#

because as far as the keyboard is concerned, bottoming out is 100%

#

So my only suggestion with jades is just get longer springs so you have finer control over the range of travel for things like DKS

tawdry ore
pastel vigil
#

What do you mean

tawdry ore
#

Wouldn’t the overall distance still be 0.1->3.5mm no matter the spring length?

pastel vigil
#

Yes, I never claimed otherwise.

tawdry ore
#

what would longer springs do then

#

more tension?

pastel vigil
#

What I said they would do? Which is finer control over the range of travel.

median spade
#

also don't know what anyone is doikng game wise to ever hit windows key tbh

tawdry ore
#

So if its on .1 i hit windows sometimes

pastel vigil
#

Instead of compressing and bottoming out quickly, longer springs have a higher starting actuation force. So in practice, I find it easier to manage hitting a force between .1 and 3.5

#

So for things like DKS, it gives me more control over stock springs

median spade
#

oh yeah i mapped control to caps lock when i joined custom keyboard stuff 5 years ago

#

control in bottom left is archaic tbh

tawdry ore
#

I’m going to try to be doing that myself

pastel vigil
#

Not stronger, longer.

#

You could do stronger too.

tawdry ore
#

Yeah

pastel vigil
#

I use 22mm 55g springs

tawdry ore
#

I’m going to be doing 22mm 70g

#

In jades

#

because of cera keys

#

They will make up for that extra weight

#

Maybe I will like it maybe I won’t I can always just get more springs

median spade
#

I know we all trying to make our wooting boards as best as possible, but the cerakeys always has me thinking it's a tad too far since the main point of a 60he is primarily for gaming and cerakeys are slow/heavy PepeBeat

median spade
#

I grabbed a pair and tried them as I try everything, but even on my mx stuff it was a little more novel than useful imo

#

I get the sound aspect is why people want them but yeah

pastel vigil
#

Performance > Feel > Aesthetics > Sound

#

That's my heirarchy for modding and parts with boards

median spade
#

for 60he i agree

#

for customs im sound only thing i care about really

#

then the rest is just whatevs

pastel vigil
#

Yeah for wooting.

#

Other than my numpad, i have no MX boards.

I know I already asked but has anyone seen a modded Alumaze here? Specifically painting or changing the color of the side gold plate.

pastel vigil
#

A few of people have talked about it but I don't know if I've actually seen anyone do it and post it.

Anything I can do or will I have to push forward my plans to buy a tofu60 redux

you could just try it without that screw, if it feels loose, then might you have to go for the tofu

just go for the tofu anyway 🤷

Is it true that the Raptor HE magnets have performance problems with the wooting PCB?

paper bloom
ebon quiver
# cedar gate I was unscrewing a kb and snapped the head off the screw the base is still stuck...

depends on what's left of the screw is loose enough, you could get a flat head screwdriver (like a precision one) that fits inside the hole, put a rubber (latex, nitrile, whatever) glove over it for added friction and attempt the unscrewing

similar thing with a small drill bit ran in reverse

or use a tiny bit of epoxy on a toothpick, glue it to the broken screw without getting epoxy on the threads

if it's really stuck you'd have to carefully drill it out without messing up the threads

#

performance-wise all HE switches are the same

#

feel, sound and wobble is the major difference between them

paper bloom
#

Cld fk u up

old swallow
#

well, in theory spring weight also affects performance, but thats more preference then a measurable difference

elfin garnet
#

well im talking about switches that are known to be compatible and not raptors who is known to have issues

paper bloom
#

Oh

#

Then yeah

elfin garnet
#

if feel, sound and wobble is not important to you I wouldn't buy anything right now. I would just wait til more HE switches drop and grab something then. If you want to make a change right now ks20 dual rails or jades is the only switches that makes sense imo

paper bloom
#

Or just get stock lekkers for now

#

Then wait for v2s

#

For a franken switch

elfin garnet
#

Im guessing he already has switches but if he is ordering a board now and needs to pick between 45s or jades, the jades is the only option that makes sense

paper bloom
#

Ig yeah but to each personal preference in the end

elfin garnet
#

true dat

white socket
#

I have a 60HE+ with L60s

elfin garnet
#

oh yeah then jades imo

paper bloom
#

Im running the module with 45s

paper bloom
#

Then i said na ima wait further a bit and pmay it safe

#

Cuz i saw the faq that the jades wld need a wootility beta

elfin garnet
#

yeah I would wait as well if you didnt grab jades months ago

cedar gate
paper bloom
#

So i cld give it a try on a test board

elfin garnet
#

there was some talks about a franken version of the sticky rices as well the other day. Waiting for testing on those

#

sounds really interesting

paper bloom
#

It does

#

Considering u jusy need a spring swap and a relube + a proper housing fit

#

I think it shld wrk

elfin garnet
#

this:

paper bloom
#

Lol yea ok

#

Waiting is the best option then

#

hello! I need a little bit of help.

I made an order for the wooting 60he (module) with the Alumaze case and after a lot of thinking I've decided that I wanna get the Tofu redux case.

So now, I wanna know if I'm gonna order the Tofu what else should I get as well? Do I need to get any plates, screws, rubbers.

Anything I need to order from kbdfans?

#

Also since I'm gonna be putting the Gateron jades, I wanna know what stabilizer I can order from KBDFans

elfin garnet
#

If you bought the module, you don't need anything else. The stock stabs are great and you get everything else you need with the module. You simply insert it into to the tofu redux case

glad raft
#

Great!
No need to replace stabilizers?

#

also I wanted to do a burger mount mod

elfin garnet
#

nah. Some experience some issues with jades with stock stabs but that's usually with cheap or less quality keycaps

glad raft
#

I ordered these rubber orings for the burgermounting

elfin garnet
#

you can do burger mount in a tofu if you like

glad raft
#

and for the screws I have these m2's available: m2x3 m2x4 m2x5 m2x6
So i believe im good in terms of screws

elfin garnet
#

they should work fine

glad raft
elfin garnet
#

you get all the screws you need with the module. You also get screws with the tofu so screws shouldn't be an issue

glad raft
#

nice! so i basically only need to order the case and that's it

elfin garnet
#

Yes, I use GMK keycaps with my jades and they work fine

#

If anything you would need this:

#
GEONWORKS

Geon Stem Spacer # This is used on top of the switch stem or Stabilizer stem to balance the long-pole switch(3.0~3.5mm Travel) and stabilizer(4.0mm travel), or if there is interference with the keycap and switch. Material : PlasticThickness : 0.5mm ±0.05Quantities : 36pcs / 1set

glad raft
#

I'm getting it with the brass weight bar as well

glad raft
#

also did you lube your jades?

elfin garnet
#

You might need it but not for certain

#

ill explain in a sec

#

im in game lol

glad raft
#

take your time! i'm not in a hurry

frigid lodge
glad raft
#

THE BRASS WEIGHT IS OUT OF STOCK :(((((

#

wtfff it was just available yesterday 😭

#

okay so, if I temporarily use Alumaze case, then decide to move to Tofu later, does it take a lot of time?

frigid lodge
#

I don't have the brass tofu weight and it's fine lol

elfin garnet
#

yeah so I use jades with GMK keycaps and my spacebar was popping off if I pressed it on either side. The stem spacer I linked will make that issue go away.

#

It's not certain that you will have the same issue so you might need it but not for sure

its from KBDFans

i would buy it 100%

buy what?

anyone know where to get some high quality black doubleshot pbt shine through keycaps?

Also don’t exist dogekek

Shine through and high quality don’t go in same sentence

hybrid cairn
#

wth

#

why

#

how hard can it be to get clean shine through legends man

median spade

Because it’s for cheap gaming boards with rgb usually

hybrid cairn
#

but i like rgb :(

median spade
#

Best you’ll get is razer ones but that’s it

hybrid cairn
#

razer?

#

they make shine through keycaps?

median spade
#

Yes… PepeBeat

hybrid cairn
#

i thot they only made pudding ones

frigid lodge
#

The major keyboard manufacturers usually have shine through

hybrid cairn

which look weird

I think wooting's shine through are the same quality as any other brand no?

Like a year for me but everyone different

is shine bad?

in my opinion, yes, but yea, preference

I don’t mind it and love ABS, but hate PBT so it’s just one of those things

hybrid cairn

i see

median spade
#

I don’t like how it sounds is all

#

Boring and muted

hybrid cairn
#

isnt it just deeper?

#

i am inexperienced

#

so i dont rlyy know

median spade
#

Yeah and texture is smoother usually

#

Not my jam

nova relic
#

thats also what holding me back from gmk, I dont think i can reach the thock i want

#

probably more clack

hybrid cairn
#

a smooth is nice but its so bad for gaminggg

median spade
#

It is on the ‘brighter’ side but depending on the board can be deeper too

hybrid cairn
nova relic
#

ceras dont have ISO layout, and I dont like neither the look, neither the feel as I've heared about them

median spade
#

Yeah you want ks20us for deeper

nova relic
#

i have 10 from both

#

and ks might sound better, but jades feel much better

#

and we are on a gaming keyboard discord after all so

hybrid cairn
nova relic
#

feel > sound

#

Ks20u would feel better then

eh nt rly

their black ones are like

$150 max i think
