It said PBT keycaps and not ABS. Also, they arent an authorized GMK seller for that set

median spade
#

if it's too cheap to be true

#

then it's not real

stray tiger
#

It wasnt cheap though, was $116 for fake lol

preference

#

as if you ask me for example I think pbt are terrible

stray tiger
#

PBT is better for how quickly the keycaps can start to shine but the color vibrancy, legend quality are better on GMK ABS keycaps. Personally for me I prefer the sound and feel of ABS keycaps but I do have some PBT sets I love. That part is preference.

#

Plus, like I said, I know the designer personally so I would encourage you to buy authentic if you love the design so that youre supporting the original designer.

#

I'm thinking about getting the Poseidon PSD60 case, does it work with the 60HE+? and is there anything I need to buy to put it on, im new to modding lol

stray tiger
#

Yes it works with the 60HE

@harsh dove

#

have u heard this sound test?

#

kinda crazy good

heady terrace
median spade
#

the inside of the top housing where it contacts the stem

heady terrace
#

and is the custom pom plate rigid enough to not mess with the magnets? i’m trying to recreate your sound but i don’t have a silicone insert with my case, just normal foam.

median spade
#

Yeah since you need to use standoffs anyways with the 60he

#

makes it just fine for rigidity

stray tiger

for the freebird

#

Since that’s what they provide instead of poron

heady terrace
#

i have a klippe t

median spade
#

Oh gotcha

heady terrace
#

klippe t just came with normal poron foam so i dont have the silicone one, but i have a pc plate and the silicone insert for the plate

#

Just a dumb question, there’s 60 switches only right on wootin?

Oh dogekek

fluid ravine
#

What do you usually use it for

median spade
#

Used to actually go and take pictures a lot

fluid ravine
#

4k yeh?

median spade
#

As well back in the more involved keyboard days would shoot cool photos and make sound tests

#

Now don’t use it as much as got bored

what made u choose the freebird over the fjell tenturo?

median spade

#

Idk who told me to check out wired in but wanted to show them my cable

median spade
#

60he was pingy and hollow in fjell the worst of the bunch was surprising

loud tiger
#

what pudding keycaps yall recommend

#

hyperx, steel series womier or gskill

#

😳

pastel vigil
#

none, get real keycaps havo

proper karma
#

Hey guys I got the tofu redux case but I don’t have a screwdriver does anybody know what screwdriver I need

weak inlet
#

is this everything i need for switch lubing? and are those 5 grams enough for 60he?

elfin garnet
#

The 5 grams is enough. Are you gonna lube your stabwires with 205g0 as well?

#

If not you need to buy some kind of grease

#

Like this:

tender mauve
#

Hi, which stabilizer do you recommend for normal 60he wooting?

weak inlet
elfin garnet
#

I would not give up on separating them tho. I'd take it to someone who knows what they are doing if you are not able to do it yourself

dull sequoia
#

Turning switches 180° is no issue right? I was confused when I realized the ISO 60he return key switch is facing west (Led window) and the ISO Lekker Edition is facing east. No idea why, I didnt ever touch those.

chrome elbow
#

Are the new lekker springs compatible with the Gateron Jade switches?

crimson sky
#

as long as you don't turn it by 90 degrees and break the LED with a switch leg (seen that being done before giggle )

dull sequoia
#

Also, can you tell me why it is safer to disassemble the plate from the pcb to replace all switches? At least they say so in a Wooting video.
I see no issues grabbing the switch with a switch puller while assembled?

elfin garnet
#

It's "safer" because it requires much less force to pull out the switch if they are disassembled

paper bloom
#

i even banged up my steel plate

#

LOL

#

I am very lucky it was just the switches and the steel plate's Paint only came off

dull sequoia
#

Did you hammer your switches in? blobfacepalm

polar girder
#

Yo; you all pull your switches out to swap plate foam of leave switches in and just take the entire plate off ?

weak inlet
#

Is there any way to get those pcs screws that hold pc plate and pcb together cause i have one stuck with broken head but i dont have a replacement one so i cant pull those 2 part apart and lube my stabs and ect.

#

and i haven’t seen them being included in my 60he module box

median spade
#

Much easier

paper bloom
#

But the steel plate is good

#

Besides the

#

Paint chip

#

I can see why the first method is not recommended for the HE switches

polar girder
median spade
#

Screwing the pcb together takes care of that

#

It’s how I always change mods

#

I never take the switches out with pcb attached as it’s arthritis city with the death grip HE stuff has

polar girder
#

Yeah ok cool

#

Plus the raptor housings seems a little soft

#

Bent a couple

desert crag
#

do the WS dashes work well with the wooting or is there inconsistencies like the sticky rice switch

robust basin
#

same as jade switches though from what i’ve heard, so just get the jades.

#

they are cheaper

velvet egret
#

yeah they are the same switch the only difference is the purple stem.

agile grove
#

have you tested them yourself?

#

there shouldnt be any differences as they are the exact same switch.

median spade
#

They are the exact same

#

Nope

desert crag
#

dashes have less wobble

median spade
#

Literally the same switch lol

#

Wuque Studio has literally said it’s just a recolored stem

polar girder
#

Lolololol

harsh dove
#

lol what’s with all this speculation that dashes are different

polar girder
#

Just a little bit

harsh dove
median spade
#

Nothing new as you guys are "newer" to the hobby KEKW

harsh dove
#

This is the email from WS

median spade
#

you should have seen 2020-2021 when everyone saying JWK switches were different

harsh dove
#

Only color is different

median spade
#

Like the only difference I heard in that video

#

is he has probably been using his jades and the lube thinned out, and it sounds like he overlubed the dashes

#

next people are going to say that mx reds and mx blacks are a different switch too

harsh dove
#

I mean I don’t blame people, there’s a lot of nuances in this hobby

median spade
#

tis the cycle of keyboards

#

"new" switch comes out, make sound test that goes viral in keyboard community, and everyone saying it's different

#

even though housing composition, stem, spring are same dogekek

stray tiger
#

General rule is "follow the money". Is someone getting paid to tell you their opinion or are they trying to justify money they spent?

median spade
#

That, and people thiink it sounds different

stray tiger
#

placebo

median spade
#

but auditory memory lasts like 8-12 seconds on average

stray tiger
#

It sounds different because you want it to sound different. Ive seen it a lot

harsh dove
#

Bingo

#

Hence what I said the other day

#

Best mod is to just tell yourself it sounds different

median spade
#

Sound tests just have to many variables too

#

it's why when I made mine it's as accurate as possible for my enviroment

#

So what people hear is what it sounds like to me at my desk in my room etc

harsh dove
#

Too many variables for any single sound test to be an end all be all for anything

agile grove
#

my keyboard would sound great if I wasnt using lekkers dogekek

#

im waiting for lekker V2s to release to the public before pulling the gun on any switch

median spade
harsh dove
#

Smart

agile grove
#

on an unrelated note, I wonder if you can sharpen the tofu redux into a viable weapon

harsh dove
#

Likely

#

The Tofu Slicer

harsh jewel
#

Am i fucked default 60he pcb, kbdfans tofu 60redux pc plate, the stabs are to small

median spade
#

Will cause sensor issues

#

You need one with standoffs for the pcb

harsh jewel
#

šŸ’€

harsh dove
#

Yeah I don’t believe that plate is compatible

median spade
#

Just use the one that came with your 60he for the moment

median spade
#

The tofu redux does double as a weapon indeed

robust basin
#

anyone know of some nice orange keycaps cherry profile?

#

can be anything with some orange in it

it's abs btw

wow only $15, these are awesome

#

thanks for sharing^^

wide kraken
#

black card on the side says Magnetic Jade Mint Switch N, and says either 30gf or 36gf (can't tell because blurry)

#

so a lighter jade variant

paper ginkgo
#

Guys does somebody know if the KAM Superuser Int-North are ever anywhere in stock?

#

I’ve never seen them

robust basin
#

thanks btw

paper ginkgo
harsh dove
#

I wouldn’t go as far as to say lots of people don’t like ABS

#

It’s really personal preference

#

Plenty of people like ABS, myself included

#

Over PBT

stray tiger
#

Im in the camp of preferring sound and feel of ABS over PBT the majority of the time but it does depend on the board and your sound preference / goal

harsh dove
#

^^

#

Especially when its quality ABS like GMK

paper ginkgo
#

But it can obviously be my bubble only

robust basin
#

i see

#

so pbt is deeper then?

#

sound wise

harsh dove
#

Yessir

#

I can provide you a link to explain it a bit

robust basin
#

sure

harsh dove

You can skip to Keycap Materials or read through its entirety, as it is a very informative read.

robust basin
#

gotcha

#

imma grab those rn

#

thanks for help every1

paper ginkgo
#

I would add to the PBT vs ABS that buying ā€žcheapā€œ PBT sets is in my opinion safer than ā€žcheapā€œ ABS. I agree that GMK Abs for example does sound great

#

But cheap ones can be really, really crappy, imo easier than Dyesub PbT

robust basin
#

i see

#

i just need something to use for now, im sure eventually ill get more into it.

paper ginkgo
stray tiger
#

The ones I linked you are quality PBT and will last for years and the price cant be beat. Its a steal of a set

robust basin
#

perfect

paper ginkgo
#

Im a bit bummed now lol. I forgot ordering switches with my module šŸ˜‚

#

And then ordered them 2 days later and now they are stuck in customs and I have a board + case but no switches lol

robust basin
#

im waiting on my switches now

#

supposed to be here the 17th

boreal violet
#

Does the tofu 60 redux fit in the wooting 60% travel case

heady terrace
#

i bought the qk65 v2 with the HE board but i feel like the lavender switches that come with them are just a recolored jade CB_kek

teal yew
#

hey, quick question. If i am building a 60he module, i just need to purchase a case, switches and keycaps right? or is there other things i need to purchase to fully assemble the board.

paper ginkgo
thorn zealot
#

I’m planning to build a custom wooting 60he

#

I was planning on getting the sticky rice he switches cuz of the sound

#

But I heard ppl saying that it doesn’t work well with the wooting and its performance wouldn’t be good

#

Is this true?

harsh dove
boreal violet
harsh dove
#

The PC Switch Plate is pre-installed on the Module, yes.

boreal violet
#

ok nice, ordering last needed things from wooting now and wanted to make sure

#

hopefully gonna build mine this weekend šŸ”„

harsh dove
#

Awesome!

thorn zealot
#

Ima get the dashes instead

harsh dove
#

And they’re the exact same switch

#

Just different stem color

#

I’d also check AliExpress too

thorn zealot
#

I’m ordering off of milktooth and the dashes are a little cheaper there

teal yew
thorn zealot
#

I will look at other places as well

harsh dove
teal yew
#

i wanted to get dashes but idk if jades are better

thorn zealot
#

They the same

harsh dove
#

Jades = Dashes

#

Just different stem color

teal yew
#

it says that the dashes only do .2mm+

#

does that mean that its not gonna do .1?

harsh dove
#

It will

teal yew
#

even with wooting

harsh dove
#

Yes

teal yew
#

ahh i see

median spade
#

best price for jades/dashes rn is alixpress

#

$44 for 70

teal yew
#

and rapid trigger eveerything will still work?

teal yew
#

legit?

harsh dove
#

Yes

#

Legit

#

And yes RT will work

I need to stop browsing this channel in my free time my wallet is going to end up hating me

median spade
elfin garnet
#

I need to use AliExpress more. What is this? Free shipping and everything

loud tiger
#

"To negotiate the best possible price for our customers, we agree to hide prices prior to logging in"

#

gotta be the dumbest thing ive read today

thorn zealot
#

So the only problem with dashes and jades is that the stabilizers could not work right?

elfin garnet
thorn zealot
#

Yeah ik

#

As long as they don’t have performance issues the like Everglades then I’m fine

elfin garnet
#

Nah should be good

thorn zealot
#

Alr

#

Just don’t wanna waste money yk

#

U think I need to line these switches and stabs on the 60 module

#

Or is the factory lube pretty good already

elfin garnet
#

It's pretty good but I lubed mine just because I wanted the sound to be more consistent through each switch. Absolutely not needed tho

thorn zealot
#

Yeah I have summer break soon

#

Ima build it first

#

And if I want to I’ll just lube them

stiff vortex
#

Hi guys

#

I just lubed my switches but now when I’m trying to assemble them some of the switches’ stem sit lower than others. Why is that?

harsh dove
stiff vortex
#

I made a post in support u can see pics

harsh dove
#

There’s a tiny little notch on one side of the stem that needs to line up with the bottom housing

stray tiger
stiff vortex
#

I figured it out

#

The top housing was other way around

heady terrace
stray tiger
median spade
#

Because it’s aliexprsss

leaden pawn
#

not that much cheap actually

stiff vortex
#

How can I know if overlubed my switches; I think I may have done that and if I did, does it affect performance at all?

harsh dove
#

Performance should be okay unless it’s so mushy that they get stuck

stiff vortex
#

I can’t really tell if they feel mushy or not this is my first time lubing and I accidentally used the bigger brush so that’s why I probably applied so much but it’s not getting stuck or anything

crude island
#

what keycaps do you guys use?

harsh dove
#

Well you can keep using it as is and the lube will break in over time

#

Or if you feel it’s too much and doesn’t feel good when typing then you can wipe the lube off and reapply or just wipe off a little bit to remove some of the lube and put your switches back together

harsh dove
stiff vortex
#

Okay I think I’m just gonna keep it, it feels fine just a tad bit slower than no Lube but maybe that’s just a sound placebo

#

Thanks for the info tho šŸ™

#

Anyone have good recommendations for spring weight to swap into my jades if I'm using cerakeys?

harsh dove
#

Iirc people didn’t have too many issues with stock jade springs with cerakeys, but the ones who did I believe swapped to L60 springs or 60g springs

#

Mainly on the spacebar and possibly on stabilizer keys

Is the Gateron jade switch worth it?

harsh dove

My batch was really good personally but ymmv

But if you havent properly lubed and tuned your stock stabs Id start there first as they are quite good.

does changing from stock wooting case to alumaze60 case make big difference?

coarse bloom

What brand of case does people recommend for the 60%?

Alright, that's a valid response

Its a very subjective question. Youll get 20 different answers. Check the list and then find one that you like and profit

Yea i expected the multiple answers, but i get it. Make it simple. Sometimes i like having multiple responses.

gg anyways.

polar girder

But it like slipped through before and stayed in place and didn’t cause issues. But now it’s going in there and backspace getting stuck down ā˜ ļø

thorn zealot

how are the stock stabs on the 60he+ module?

Of all the stabs out there they are one of em

what stabs do u have?

Yeah not quite the same problem I’m having but appreciate the video

Was hoping to not have to swap them lol

I bought tx ap stabs but just realized they’re clip-ins lol

surreal lagoon
polar girder
#

Yeah idk

#

Looks like basically same thing

#

I do like that these stabs are black tho šŸ˜…

surreal lagoon
#

did u already tried it with the tx ap stabs?

polar girder
#

No

#

It was working before I put the plate foam in

I hope that the Wooting 80 HE is not as stiff as the 60 HE

polar girder
#

Yeah so backspace isn’t part of PC plate isn’t supported at all

#

Both PCB mounted stabs don’t really

#

Looks like the plate mounted would tho

#

This one, yeah?

surreal lagoon
#

yes

#

is it worth it to buy extra plate mount stabilizer for the o-ring mount?

polar girder
#

Yeah cuz then I’ll have plate mount, screw in and clip for module

#

Plus o-ring mount is life

surreal lagoon
#

i also want to try the o-ring mount but i dont know if the felling/sound is that much better

fluid ravine
polar girder
#

Stock module screw ins for all rn

fluid ravine
#

Like your solution to being able to gummy mount

polar girder
#

Replace backspace with plate mount

#

That’s it

#

BUT

fluid ravine
#

Oh
What abt ur space bar?

#

Any issue with that?

polar girder
#

I might also just replace all the stock screw ins with clip-in

#

No issue there

fluid ravine
polar girder
#

Everything fine except backspace getting stuck

polar girder
#

Only reason I replace stock screw ins with clip-ins is because they’re black tho

#

NGL

fluid ravine
#

LMAO

#

Well not a way to spend money but sure you do you

polar girder
#

and to get rid of the screw

#

I already have the clip-ins

#

But it won’t solve the backspace problem

fluid ravine

Id guess Pops wouldn't recommend in such way as he advise people to save money in some way for mods but I can't say much for him pepecry

The Wooting 60HE is a stiff keyboard, that we can agree. So, is there something you can do to change this? Sander tries out the burger mount mod for the Wooting 60HE to see if that makes a drastic change in feel, but also in sound.

Just different colored stems

#

Lord help me

#

My mind is fixated on these gmk retrowave caps

#

No wonder mfkas say keyboard building is an expensive hobby

#

$135 for some keycaps

#

My brain finds the Japanese Kanji and English Keycaps very pleasing

#

The neon pink is bright af

#

Apparently the aliexpress clones can't dye them to be as vibrant

#

I like bright pink

#

Here's my Ak skin in cs2

#

And my mouse

#

Thank you for coming to my show and tell

harsh dove
#

So clones are always off

loud tiger
#

I see

#

So if I want brighter and more vibrant Keycaps, I should look into abs

#

And abs is more expensive than pbt I'm assuming

median spade
#

and no just gmk is

#

because of the quality

#

The resin they use is one of the main costs

loud tiger
#

I see

#

Hahah I realized after buying the mouse that it fits very well in my palm but it's a sweat magnet

#

The grip tape was the only solution

#

XD

median spade
#

Yeah outside KBDfans, GMK, and DCX from drop most ABS is low quality

#

your gpx is now the superheavy

loud tiger
#

I still feel $135 is too much

#

If I can get a whole ass wooting keyboard for $175

median spade
#

$135 is light work I was paid like $180+ for 8 of my sets back in the day kekleo

loud tiger
#

Ooof

#

I might just get the Kanji ones for $65

#

But it's an ass deal

#

Im mainly getting it for the neon pink

median spade
#

Oh just the alphas you mean

loud tiger
#

Yes

pale cloud
#

what foam yall use for modding? for tofu redux?

loud tiger
#

Alphas

median spade
#

After that first hit

#

you will then be hooked

loud tiger
#

That's what I'm afraid of lol

#

If those bitches were like $70, I wouldve bought them

#

Why are akko keycaps only $40

#

Anyways I'll think about it

stray tiger
#

Buy once, cry once. If you don't get the set you want you will eventually and then you'll have wasted the initial money you spent.

#

@stray tiger true. That's how I bought thr wooting in the first place šŸ’€šŸ’€

#

I didn't wanna drop $175 on a keyboard but I wouldn't have been as happy with another one

#

Is the issue with jades and dashes only for the spacebar

#

Or is it with all the stabs

thorn zealot
#

The one in the modding faq channel

#

With the 3.5mm travel on the switches

#

And the 4mm travel on the stabs

polar girder
#

@stray tiger hey I guess plate mount stab on backspace (and maybe space bar?) the way to go for o-ring/friction mount on module, huh?

#

TX AP prob best ez way to go then?

harsh dove
#

Yeah plate mount or clips ins have worked great for me

polar girder
harsh dove
#

And yeah tx ap or cherry

polar girder
#

See I have clip ins but I haven’t put them on yet

#

They look identical to screw ins tho

#

Doesn’t seem like it would solve my problem

#

Idk tho

harsh dove
#

Well you were installing the o-ring in a different way compared to the rest of us, right?

polar girder
harsh dove
#

Oh okay

polar girder
#

I’m pretty sure it’s just usual mount but it snuck between stabs

#

But now it’s an issue lol

harsh dove
#

Gotcha

polar girder
#

I think with the foam it’s making the ring tighter

#

So it’s getting in there and backspace sticking

harsh dove
#

Yeah it’s usually pretty tight if you use foam with it

#

M-size right?

polar girder
#

I have both

#

m and S

#

But yeah M sneaks through

harsh dove
#

Have you tried the S?

#

Or you said it was too loose before?

polar girder
#

Yes

#

S same thing

#

Yeah S with no plate foam didn’t really friction mount anything lol

#

Just fell in

#

But with foam it’s same backspace stuck stab problem

#

Hesitant to swap for the clip-ins cuz they seem same structure just without the screw hole

#

But plate mount seems like it wouldn’t interfere maybe

stray tiger
#

Plate mount also allows you to use silicone with no issue

polar girder
#

Plus definitely not get in the way as much all around so it wouldn’t be as tight

#

Nice

#

Yeah I think I’ll just orde r them and replace them all

#

Plus they’re black

#

All black everything

#

Plus the extra little bit of plastic seems like it could be nice for a sturdy stab idk

polar girder
#

Idk shit tho just trying stuff out lol

#

I also need better tweezers

#

The ones in the Wooting kit suck

#

Good for being tiny but not good for actually grabbing shit

#

Curved or straight?

#

šŸ‘ļøšŸ‘„šŸ‘ļø

#

Curved seems nice

stray tiger
#

I like curved as well

torpid nebula
#

does somebody know good keycaps for the 60he?

stray tiger
polar girder
#

Ordered the plate mount stand and some new tweezers

#

Might just use the stock 60HE I haven’t sold yet until I get that shit

#

CBA to tray mount it HAM

torpid nebula
stray tiger
polar girder
#

lol damn

#

Big brain

#

Or right shift

#

Never use that lol

stray tiger
#

exactly

polar girder
#

Sell the stock 60HE to afford the stabs

harsh dove
#

Of course symbiote goes on sale

#

Knew it would happen

#

Would’ve only saved like $45 anyway

stray tiger
#

A 20% drop isn't enough for me to pull the trigger yet, especially since I don't have a board to put it on yet.

harsh dove
#

Right yeah

#

If it was 50% that’d be different

#

But at 20% I don’t feel bad for buying it sooner

guys im ordering wooting 60h+ module next week

is alumaze60 worth it, or should I go with tofu redux

Hey! I’m sure it’s been asked already but I’m new here, does the wooting 60he+ module fit into the freebird 60 case? If not are there any recommendations for other low profile metal cases? Thanks!šŸ«¶šŸ»

Is this new to the 60HE+? My old board dropped in fine and I dont see any notes in the Notion doc of anyone else having an issue

median spade
#

I have 60he

#

And you can screw it technically but it's at an angle without filing

#

I found this out from a reddit post like 6 months ago before I even bought hte freebird

#

was true when i got mine before I friction mounted it

stray tiger
#

Could always be a change to the case as well

median spade
#

Yeah nothing has changed with the case really

#

just the 60he pcb being slightly off compared to a standard 60% dz60 etc

primal pollen
#

I had a black freebird60 case and could not get it to work either.

stray tiger

these sit farther in for some reason is the issue

@polar girder MOUZ looking good. Are you ready to get hurt again?

frosty dust
#

Hey guys i got the wooting one keyboard it has a usb a/b port not sure, but i want a usb c port in it is it hard to swap? i got a port from a older kb

median spade
frosty dust
#

its the first wooting kb

median spade
#

Yes it has a usb c port on the keyboard

frosty dust
#

nope

#

its usb a or b

#

not sure

median spade
#

which wooting one are you talking about then

frosty dust
frosty dust
#

u cant get it anymore either

median spade
#

Yeah this is the one I was thinking

#

it's got centered usb c plugging into the keyboard? or should from what I can see

median spade
#

Oh it's micro usb

frosty dust
#

rn micro usb port

median spade
#

Can't really swap it unless there is a daughterboard that worked with it

#

which I doubt it would

frosty dust
#

how can i find oug

#

out

#

but if i swap

frosty dust
#

bc i got an old kbm alr with usb c port

#

i cant use that one?

harsh dove
#

To put on a new daughter board? Yes

frosty dust
#

idk of thats needed

#

but swapping port?

harsh dove
#

I’m not too versed in that specifically but my guess would be no, you can’t just swap the ports

median spade
#

The daughterboard just sits in the bottom of the case

fluid ravine
#

Hey hey hey! Wsp fam

median spade
#

but you won't find one that works with the wooting one

#

because it has to be designed with it in mind

polar girder
#

Not getting attached any more

polar girder
harsh dove
median spade
#

Oh yeah I was just letting him know that

harsh dove
#

Ah yeah

median spade
#

but yeah the pinout is different for usb c and micro usb

#

so it would need not work to solder on a usb c one

harsh dove
#

Right that’s what I was thinking

cyan adder
# harsh dove Right that’s what I was thinking

any recommendations for a clacky build? Im getting tired of my thock build, actually running abs keycaps, hand lubed jades, tofu redux, no case foam, no plate foam, pc plate (may i swap to steel ?); switch pads; gummy mount

#

no tape mod thought

cyan adder
#

i wanna get the most clackier i can get with my current mats at home. Can still do tape mod but i dont think this would help actually;, may turn it into pop

harsh dove
#

I mean you have all the mods for clack, I’d say the tofu might not be best for ā€œcleanestā€ clack but that’s gonna be super personal for what that sound is for you

#

And yeah don’t do tape mod

#

At least imo

#

You’re free to try it and see if you like it

median spade
#

HE is not there yet

harsh dove
#

A man can dream Tenturo

cyan adder
harsh dove
#

I find my frog to have a nice clack

cyan adder
#

still wondering if i should try steel plate

harsh dove
#

Yeah I’ve tried it all as well, I only liked moleskin for certain configs

#

I remove it in my frog tho

cyan adder
#

suprising how most veteran ppl in mechanical keyboard hobby all told me hey when u start u chasing thock but trust me at the end you will chase clack for life

#

lol

#

true thing

harsh dove
#

Yep

solemn elm
#

whats the thingymabob that acts like case foam but better? i forgor the name

cyan adder
#

now i hate thock and i just want clack all day

solemn elm
cyan adder
#

kinda weird to run without case foam tbh; ive been running polyfill since month

#

but the pcb fits so much better in the case

harsh dove
#

Yeah

cyan adder
#

much more hollow

solemn elm
#

should i rock with the case the 60he came with or save up for a tofuu

#

like does the tofuu make that much of a differnece?

harsh dove
#

My current config;
Wooting60HE+
Frog Mini
Jades
GMK ABS keycaps
70A Tadpoles for gasket mount
POM Plate
Silicone Pad

solemn elm
harsh dove
#

Why wouldn’t you?

solemn elm
#

isnt wooting's specialty the switches

harsh dove
#

No

#

It’s their firmware/software

median spade
#

it's the tech not the switches

solemn elm
#

ah

#

so any switches will perform the same as the lekker ones?

harsh dove
#

No

#

Not all HE switches are compatible

#

So you have to be careful about that

solemn elm
#

ah

#

okey

#

ty

harsh dove
#

Yeah no problem

solemn elm
#

does the gummy o ring mean that i dont have to rescrew the board or sm

harsh dove
#

Correct

polar girder
#

So good

solemn elm
#

k so heres what i currently have to mod my wooting: lube, o ring, tape, some weird foam that im trying to use, lastly hopes and dreams

#

anything else i should check off the list or is this all i need

#

i might upgrade to a tofu case later on

median spade
#

Use keyboard first then decide if you actually want to mod it is my suggestion

solemn elm
#

k

#

hold up

#

last thing

#

cuz i got extra cash

median spade
#

Like this channel all about modding but in reality it's like a 5% difference at most

solemn elm
#

is it worth to get durock stabs

median spade
#

against stock

#

if you could even enumerate it

polar girder
#

Lube and o-ring mount is good

solemn elm
#

like are the stabilizers good stock or should i get durock v2

polar girder
#

PC plate or what

#

Module or what

harsh dove
solemn elm
polar girder
#

Yeah stock are good on both

why does everyone like the frog so much

I listed my Sirius60 Wooting case on mech market this week but every DM I've got is asking me how I got custom plates made lol

stray tiger
robust basin
#

it’s really pricey

#

seems like it

stray tiger
polar girder
#

Yeah Sirius60 and frog mini seem maybe beyond my skill level lol

#

Or at least my understanding

stray tiger
#

It's just a different mounting style than the traditional plate mount.

paper bloom
#

@untold wigeon

stray tiger
# harsh dove Not surprised tbh lol

Well I wouldn't be surprised if they just wanted to know where to get custom plates made for any board. However, if it's plates made for the Sirius60 specifically I'd be surprised since it's not super common.
