What’s this 👀?

tropic bear
#

a mount for the UWU I'm making for my desk

#

still rough but this is the prototype

little glen
#

why keep the top part of the uwu case

tropic bear
#

I have the RGB

#

I wanna keep the band

little glen
#

ah

#

do you have it on hand?

#

then you can check what you need for the assembly

tropic bear
#

I have the CAD model but it's not 100% clear to me

little glen
#

yeah if you have the uwu, you can just open it up to see for yourself

brazen sparrow
tropic bear
#

thanks 😃

tropic bear
#

I'm like 90% sure it's ok but I wanted to make sure before I spend 4 hours on a print that doesnt work lol

brazen sparrow
little glen
#

i mean, worst case you can just get a long screw and screw the whole thing in

tropic bear
#

worst case ya lol
I'm trying to use the same hardware and geometry as the bottom case so it's nice and clean

Who here uses the dash switches?

# restive gulch I want to get a Tofu Redux for my wooting, but I am unsure of which switches to ...

Well my first advice would be to take any switch/keyboard sound test videos with a grain of salt, simply because there’s a plethora of variables in sound test vs how it will sound at your setup, i.e. desk, desk pad, room acoustics, mic, etc

My next bit of advice would be to check out the #🪛│modding_faq , it has all the basics covered for you in terms of modding your board.

It’s all personal preference and depends on the sound you’re looking for.

#

If you have further questions, I’m happy to help

restive gulch
harsh dove
#

I like the reduced travel/long pole switches (even tho they’re not really long pole). Which would be anything like the Gateron Jades, Neo Lavenders, WS Dashes, Raw Raptor HE, and a few others

#

I’m currently using the Neo Lavenders and Jades which are the same as Dashes (jades)

restive gulch
little glen
#

steel is way louder

#

i think people like pc more

harsh dove
#

PC plate will reduce resonance vs steel plate

restive gulch
harsh dove
#

In a tofu? Not that I recall

somber roost
restive gulch
#

Did you lube them yourself?

harsh dove
#

Yeah

restive gulch
#

Which foams did you use? on the tofu

harsh dove
#

And I have a different config than that one now , that’s an older vid

harsh dove
marsh saffron
marsh saffron
#

Unfortunate, you said they sound fairly similar anyway though hey?

harsh dove
#

Yeah

#

Lavenders are a bit poppier

#

Slightly lower pitch

restive gulch
harsh dove
#

Jades and Dash are the same tbh

#

Just a stem recolor

marsh saffron
harsh dove
#

Go for whatever’s cheaper

marsh saffron
#

That's exactly what I was waiting for

#

I like jades but they are higher pitched than id like

restive gulch
#

aka the module

harsh dove
#

Uh it shows at the end of the video lemme check

harsh dove
#

I’m pretty anti-foam now lol

old swallow
#

i will put foam in all my boards in protest now

harsh dove
#

Only board I have foam in right now is the tofu, but only plate foam with the gummy mount and then polyfill

#

I’d do silicone but don’t feel like cutting my silicone pad

old swallow
#

wait, why would you need to cut the silicone?

harsh dove
#

Silicone doesn’t work with gummy mount

old swallow
#

for the gummy?

harsh dove
#

Yeah

old swallow
#

ooh ok

restive gulch
harsh dove
#

lol yeah

restive gulch
#

All of that to make wooting sound decent is intimidating

harsh dove
#

I’ve removed that now tbh

#

That’s probably my most modded config

#

Now it has less mods

old swallow
harsh dove
#

Yeah foam really only bothers me when I feel that I can hear it almost like compressing and decompressing

#

Idk maybe my ears are sensitive to it

old swallow
#

hmmmm, i guess. but idk, usually it just sounds more pleasant to me, but then again. with online sound tests its kinda hard to judge, and i think for the 60HE it sounds better

harsh dove
#

Yeah fair enough, it’s all preference. Even that tofu video of mine that I just sent sounds kinda foamy to me lol

old swallow
harsh dove
#

Yeah exactly, there is no best

#

Just whatever’s best to you

old swallow
#

hey @harsh dove do you have the wooting 60% travel case?

#

if so, does the redux fit in it well?

#

or anyone else that has those **

harsh dove
old swallow
#

i assume it does, but i want to be sure

harsh dove
#

Yeah I’d assume it does to but we’ll see

old swallow
#

if only they made them in multiple colours

#

would be nice if i could get different colours for my different boards

#

hey pssst, any wooting employees got prototype 60% cases with different colours, send them over haha

cold bloom
#

I took the switch pad foam out of my tofu (non redux tho) and I think it sounds great, I have the stupidfish tofu case foam under the pcb/plate but nothing between currently.

#

I am also using jades but have the l60 stems swapped into them cause I like a heavier key stroke

#

I think my next step is some long pole tx ap stabs cause I can notice my back space get a bit rattly when I press it on the corner, my spacebar seems fine otherwise tho

old swallow
#

i have jades, and default stabs feel good to me, altought maybe sound a bit rattly. so i might hit it with some grease to see if it helps

cold bloom
#

I just put some dielectric grease on it the other day, I can kind of feel the keycap move to the left on that one but not the spacebar

old swallow
cold bloom
#

I'd like to get some new stabs to be able to lube them a bit better this time and to tune them a bit more individually until they're all solid, I think I've reached my limit with these lol

cold bloom
#

the other stabs mostly sound fine

old swallow
#

im kinda in the same boat, most of my stabs sound fine, but a few are a bit rattly. but the feel on mine feels fine to me

cold bloom
#

I noticed when I looked at the stab itself the right side seems to be a bit crooked when clipped in and with the gummy oring mount, idk what else could change that with pcb mount stabs so idk what to do lol

#

Like the o ring kind of pushes it in a touch, even with the foam pad between the pcb and plate

gritty fiber
#

Yo! Thought this would be a good place to check in. I have been thinking of getting the Wooting 2 He, but compared to the other keyboards in the selection it has a different case. It "open", instead of being covered around the sides of the switches. Do you know if there is a case for it to have the same design as the others? Because from what I have seen from the competitors it doesn't seem like they come close to the same quality of a board. 🤔

fluid ravine
pure magnet
#

Which mx stem dampening switch foam would you use?

#

My gmk hats are fucked due to the beer

#

Does someone offer then precut so I can just push them into the key cap

#

Like an oring

#

Kind of like the spacebar foam

restive gulch
#

Anyone have a link for Wooting POM plate?

quiet bay
# restive gulch Anyone have a link for Wooting POM plate?
#

this company makes them

#

idk if it has any issues with 60he+ tho

lament grotto
#

i need to make a critical decision T_T

#

do i lube the jades before popping them into my new 60he or.. just go for it T_T

uneven cradle
#

If you think they could benefit from some extra lube then you can always go back

quiet bay
uneven cradle
#

I think they're pretty nice stock I'm not gonna bother

lament grotto
#

yeah.. tbh this batch feels pretty solid

#

I just got my haul so its time to the ting.. the Wooting 😄

marsh saffron
#

I hope the lavenders have good factory lube

#

Probably would end up just lubing them anyway though..

lament grotto
#

gotta retake my haul pic since my box of jades wasn't in it before T_T

#

i ordered a 72 pack off amazon, came in a legit gateron box. felt premium. when i ordered my hmx xinhais, i got them in a plastic bag T_T

#

felt like my drug dealer turned the wrong corner and came back with keyboard switches

#

There we go that’s a beauty shot

cold bloom
#

I fixed my backspace a bit by putting the plate foam back in, it's aight now

#

damn those black jades sold out quick eh

#

anyone here snag some?

cold bloom
#

I'll keep my eye out to see how you like them, I'll probably buy some when they're back in stock

lament grotto
#

same

#

Who the link for em?

mossy thorn
cold bloom
#

2 stage spring which could be interesting

uneven cradle
#

I just got some of these with a 2 stage spring

cold bloom
#

how do you like the 2 stage springs? Does the force increase kinda linearly as you press further?

#

compared to just a static force?

uneven cradle
#

haven't arrived yet but from what i've heard they feel a bit more tactile and bounce back more quickly

cold bloom
#

very cool

split dagger
#

wish i had money i would love to build this

cold bloom
#

I'd love to build this if I had the cash

#

the toyota ae86 design is so dope

#

the boot up when you plug it in is so badass, I recommend watching alexotos' build of it on his youtube

quiet bay
#

Damn thats nice

#

The translucent keycaps go really well with the case

cold bloom
#

Yeah I hadn't seen that combo until I searched for the photos

#

this goes hard too

#

gmk redline I think

lament grotto
#

for those using the jades

#

silicone pad or poron pad? anyone have a leaning opinion on either with the pc plate?

old swallow
#

Still have that in both my boards

harsh dove
#

Silicone Enjoyer myself

cold bloom
#

or are you using it with your frog mini case?

harsh dove
#

Yeah frog mini

cold bloom
#

nice

#

I'd love to do that build someday

#

there's a guy in Toronto who does a custom plate that fits it and I'm super tempted

harsh dove
#

Hypekeyboards

cold bloom
#

yessir

#

that's the one I saw

fluid ravine
#

personal preference

#

i use to use no plate foam

i tried it with the silicone but i def want thock

and.. this is a rreally nice muted thock

awesome thank you

lament grotto

really love the shade of this blue alumaze. def gotta be on the hunt for a the right shade of keycaps

Getting lavenders and pbtfans BoW

marsh saffron
#

I love how the silicone sounds

fluid ravine
#

i forgot what set

#

i think dolch?

marsh saffron
#

oh those look nice

#

my build is basically entirely gonna be BoW

#

white case with black pc plate and BoW keycaps is gonna look so good

fluid ravine
#

mines grey case

#

gonna need a gray keycaps

#

i like to match em

marsh saffron
#

This is what my build looks like currently

#

Just using wootings white keycaps

#

Wish I didn't buy these and just got pbtfans BoW but I didn't know about them at the time

lament grotto

heall yeah!

marsh saffron
#

how many wooting builds has he done by now

lament grotto
#

yes

fluid ravine

#

sounds about right

fluid ravine

indeed

#

how many switches does CAM have?

#

yes

#

Hopefully I don't go off the deep end and it's just my lekkers that are off to the side

#

Probably will end up with a few different kinds eventually though...

tropic bear
#

Well the UWU model is great. Perfect fit. Stream Deck’s on the other hand….

lament grotto
little glen
#

That looks decent apart from the stream deck not fitting at all 💀

prime orbit
#

Just gonna post this in here from the general chat. For modding I’m planning on getting the detachable wooting cable, a new case (probably just generic like the redux with brass insert), for switches I was told that performance is the same for all of them but the sounds are different (if there is one that’s the best for performance lmk), I’ll get a foam pad if the original 60he doesn’t come with one, and a plate (I’ve seen carbon fiber and one other one, not sure which one is better, also would like to know which one to get!) If there is anything else I should get please lmk. Thank you!!!

marsh saffron
prime orbit
#

That’s my worst nightmare 😭

#

I know basically nothing

marsh saffron
#

Switches don't affect the performance, for switches a lot of people go with gateron jades, geon raptors, or neo lavenders

#

I'm gonna be picking up some lavenders soon

#

Going with the redux is a good choice I'm very happy with mine

#

As for the plate, I just use wootings PC plate and don't have any experience with other plates

prime orbit
#

The wooting comes with a plate installed?

marsh saffron
prime orbit
marsh saffron
#

You can get a black PC plate but you'd need to buy it separately if you want it (if you get the 60he module it comes in white)

marsh saffron
prime orbit
#

Ok

#

And I’m getting the 60he stock

#

To start

marsh saffron
#

Prebuilt will have steel plate

prime orbit
#

And that’s perfectly fine?

marsh saffron
#

I recommend the black PC plate from wooting but again, haven't tried other plates

marsh saffron
prime orbit
#

The black one

#

Got it

marsh saffron
#

Ive got the black PC plate it looks great and sounds much better than the steel one

#

This is what my 60he looks like in a white tofu redux

#

The black PC plate adds a nice look contrast with the all white

#

And looks just as good if not better if you are going all black

prime orbit
#

Yeah I’ll probably be going all black

marsh saffron
#

Def recommend black PC plate

prime orbit
#

Then my keycaps will most likely be black with Japanese lettering in white

#

Or sum with that

#

Ok cool

marsh saffron
#

My next keycaps will be pbtfans BoW, they do have sets that are WoB as well but lack the japanese secondary lettering

#

marsh saffron
#

Seen someone here talking about it

prime orbit
#

The Holy60 looks interesting too

#

Maybe too much for me tho

#

Simple is better

uneven cradle

sounds like poop don't get it

marsh saffron
prime orbit
#

Which one does?

marsh saffron
#

Interesting case with a cool design but impossible to not make it sound hollow

marsh saffron
prime orbit
#

Ah ok

#

Yeah so it’s the redux for me then

#

Unless the new one is good

uneven cradle
#

turns out all those holes aren't so good for acoustics

prime orbit
#

But idk when that’s coming out

marsh saffron
#

I'm very happy with my redux

#

It was a tough choice between alumaze and redux, sad to have gotten rid of my custom strap but the tofu is worth it

marsh saffron
uneven cradle
# marsh saffron Yeah I remember someone saying the spacebar especially sounds terrible

Okay bear with me here, I know this a longer stream and lots of stuff going on! The metal keycaps were part of a sponsored stream, however this does not change the way i think about the board or alter my thoughts in anyway.

First of the holy60 is ... interesting? To me the bundle they are offering on KBDFans with the hall effect switches is awk...

prime orbit
#

It says preorder but has 45 remaing

#

?

#

Does that mean it’ll ship soon or no. Very confused

marsh saffron
#

the pre order probably means the next batch is on pre order but there are only a few remaining

prime orbit
#

Ah ok

#

These are what I was looking at

#

That price hurts my soul tho

marsh saffron
prime orbit
#

Quality?

marsh saffron
#

gmk uses high quality abs

#

and has very high standards for their molds and legends

prime orbit
#

What is abs

marsh saffron
#

the type of plastic used

prime orbit
#

Ah ok

marsh saffron
#

the ones i linked are pbt

prime orbit
#

Are they considered the gold standard then?

marsh saffron
#

basically how the difference goes is like this ive been told

prime orbit
#

Is that why it’s much more

marsh saffron
#

cheap abs < cheap pbt < good pbt < good abs

#

thats what i was told, dont have any experience with abs

marsh saffron
prime orbit
#

Well those have Been like the only white on black Japanese keycaps I can find so I’ll have to suck it up

marsh saffron
#

its a german (iirc) company that pays their employees fair wages with very high standards for their molding and legends. lots of sets/keycaps get tossed if they dont fit the tight standards

marsh saffron
prime orbit
#

Bet

#

Also something I forgot to mention

#

With the redux case

#

I’m also getting the brass insert

#

Yeah here’s the other 2 plates

#

Not sure how they are vs the wooting one

#

But I’m sure the wooting one will be fine

I’ve used the carbon fiber one, they’re good, just need countersunk screw standoff kit as well, but the wooting pc plate is great too

#

Don’t need a kit for wooting plate

prime orbit
#

I’m all about not wasting money so I’ll do the keycaps and the wooting plate

#

Ty guys!

I’ll @ you it

This is gonna hurt my bank acc

# prime orbit <@521988247593811968>

Seems good to me tbh, idk if you’ve also looked at Wootings Alumaze60 Case, and idk exactly what sound you’re looking for but seems solid. If you’re planning on buying a case and switches, just buy the Wooting60HE Module

prime orbit
#

I don’t like the look of the case. And I’m more of a performance over sound or feel kinda thing.

#

The module is back order I think

#

Lemme check

harsh dove
#

Says July

#

Pre Order basically

prime orbit
#

July ain’t that bad

#

I was just gonna get the base one

#

Then upgrade like one thing every month

prime orbit
#

I just added it all together

#

This will be a $520 keyboard

#

This better be worth every penny 😭😭

harsh dove
#

Yeah sounds about right if you’re getting a case, GMK keycaps, and switches , if you’re doing the prebuilt that’s also more

#

Vs the module

#

But would have to wait slightly longer

prime orbit
#

Ok changed it to the module only at its $475

#

Imma do that

#

July 27th estimated date is totally fine

#

Still better be worth every penny 😭😭

#

Aight final build here. Need anything else? @harsh dove

paper bloom
#

Just be aware to do a brass nut on the spacebar

#

@prime orbit

#

Once u get it

#

Then boom ur done

#

U can yse wooting or the foam provided in the case

#

I cant wait for the optimum case tho

harsh dove
prime orbit
#

I need something else?

prime orbit
harsh dove
#

Yeah

#

Wooting x OptimumTech Collab

harsh dove
#

You have everything you’ll need besides a lube kit

prime orbit
#

They come lubbed right?

harsh dove
#

Yeah

prime orbit
#

Ok cool

harsh dove
#

Just if you wanna handlube additionally, you’ll need a kit

prime orbit
#

What about the brass bar tho?

#

He said something about it

#

I didn’t understand it tho

harsh dove
#

He’s referring to the brass standoffs that come with the wooting for the spacebar

#

It’s not required tho

#

Just optional

prime orbit
#

Should I use them?

#

And the module comes with the foam right?

#

Oh wait the optimum tech looks dope

#

I’d get that if there was a release date 😭

Same, just the 2 screw left side and 2 screw right side.
That holds it in place just fine. And arguably makes the spacebar sound a bit better

prime orbit
#

Sounds good

I tried that for my space bar

#

There was any clearence

But yes the spacebar standoff

#

Is optional

Morning everyone!!!!

I'm trying to decide what I should get for a new case for my wooting, I'm between either trying a salvation or a frog mini with the custom plate

#

anyone try a salvation here before?

#

Prob won't be ordering either anytime super soon just trying to decide haha

median spade
#

Yeah don’t do salvation imo

#

Wasn’t that good with 60he

cold bloom
harsh dove
#

Yeah Frog is nice, that's my main board rn for the HE

cold bloom
#

yeah solid choice, I think I'll grab one here soonish, probably get the plate in the mean time to get ready

#

there's only b stock silver cases left rn tho

#

What material plate are you getting?

bc of the lower AD?

lament grotto
#

I like the jades, I dont really have anything against the lekkers though. I just prefer the sound of the jades

fluid ravine
#

I like Jades and Neo Lavenders as well
If Geon RAW turns out to be good and how they feel and sound, then I'm down to put it on my list

why do u like the jades over ks20? distance?

they sound pretty solid here

the bottom looks interesting

Is the RAW he confirmed compatible yet?

#

Im limiting the distance to 2mm anyway with some hard O-ring s anyway so idc about that and dont care honestly abt the sound either

harsh dove

#

So ks20 should be best for me if I want least wobble?

cold bloom
#

there are dual rail jades coming for the wooting supposedly

harsh dove

they have the East polarity switches on the gateron site rn for boards with that polarity like the endgamegear I think?

but im down

but supposedly there's a N polarity version coming

wondering how it will turn out anyways lol

cold bloom
#

agreed

#

those black jades seem super interesting

Esp the springs

#

Im really interested in the springs

in b4 someone starts playing Michael Jackson

I feel like they could make the jades a bit better tbh
I feel like if they make the top out sound a bit more cleaner I'd put it as my #1 (not like if i had a #1 anyways)

cold bloom
#

agreed

fluid ravine
#

Lavenders and Jades are fighting for that spot on my list rn

#

haha

#

lavenders use a nylon top housing right?

yep

I wonder how jades would sound with that top housing

It’s not nylon housing tho

Fk jades

harsh dove
fluid ravine
# fluid ravine Alright boys Hypothesis

HmMmMmmMMm
Since I don't know the thickness and if its compatible with the jades or other HE switches, I think the top out sound on the Jades with the Nylon top housing of the lavenders should make it sound a bit more softer or lower pitched as PC is usually higher pitched for a switch material (i think, i cant remember shit)

lament grotto

I've frankenswitched all my switches lmao

had the raptors then put L45 springs/stems in them then put my L60 springs/stems in my jades

Lavender housing is nylon?

lament grotto

yes

It's basically like a Frankeswitched Raptor Lavender @fluid ravine

Cause it's tighter too

polar girder

All stems are POM

and I hate it

I have raptors with l45 stem/springs right now

Lavenders aren’t black. Missing the point lol

harsh dove

Yeah so you can basically make Raptor Hybrids but with Jades and Lavenders

why are all the stems POM?

cause of the magnets?

sry maf aint maffing big bro

lament grotto
#

much better bounce back response

lament grotto
fluid ravine
#

The design of the two-stage spring makes it longer than a normal “one-stage” spring. This means that the spring is compressed more than a one-stage spring during the unactivated state, and it reaches its bottom out weight more quickly. This makes the downpress feel more firm and consistent, as there is a smaller range of forces between the beginning of the keypress until bottom out or even actuation. In addition, the upstroke after lifting your finger is noticeably faster, meaning that there is the ability to rapidly repeat keystrokes in a shorter amount of time. Two-stage springs are also less likely to have spring ping because being more compressed even in the unactivated state means that there is less room for the spring to move/rotate around. -CAM

Might have to add shipping

Then sell some shit

But for now going from 14900k/6900xt to a 13700k/4080

I’m trouble shooting as I go

It’s running lol

Chill

fluid ravine

ITS BEEN MONTHS D:

harsh dove
#

Ah okay nice

polar girder
#

The GPU isn’t my problem

polar girder
#

I was having intermittent black screens and I’ve nailed it down to either cpu, motherboard, or ram

#

Not cooling, not power supply, not GPU and I’m pretty sure not SSD

#

So if it black screens on new build then it’s CPU broken

#

If not, then I can sell cpu for $300

#

And then test motherboard and ram

fluid ravine
#

Saw some MSI PC at costco with a 14900F with a LONG AH 4070 with 2tb ssd selling for $1600/1700

Current setup is not blackscreening

and was it doing this with the 6900XT?

polar girder

So I’m good. I just need to figure ours what’s broken

#

No

#

It’s 14900k/6900xt ddr5 right now and working fine

#

It’s not GPU

harsh dove
#

It was black screening with 4080 tho?

polar girder
#

No

#

4080 is new

harsh dove
#

Oh okay

#

Then nvm

#

I was gonna say cause I had this issue before

#

and it was the cable

polar girder
#

It was blackscreening on 13700k/6900xt/ddr4 only

harsh dove
#

ah okay

#

then yeah nvm

polar girder
#

And it’s not 6900xt problem since current setup is fine

harsh dove
#

yeah

polar girder
#

Yeah I saw 6900xt have some issues for some

#

Mine is asus rog stric liquid cooled and runs well tho

harsh dove
#

oh for me it was the 12vhpwr cable for nvidia cards

#

giving me black screens

polar girder
#

Sometimes drivers aren’t perfect but I just don’t update unless I have to for new game or something

#

Oh damn

#

Curious

harsh dove
#

its been resolved now but yeah

polar girder

Yeah I was thinking to get new PSU to have native atx3.0 cable support

harsh dove

Yeah I haven't bothered to do that yet

#

just have Corsair RM1000x rn

polar girder
#

Yeah I have EVGA 1000w P6

#

Pretty solid except not white and not native 12vhpwr cable

harsh dove
#

Nice, yeah I haven't had any issues with mine

#

I got a custom PSU to GPU 12vhpwr cable for it

instead of that octopus oem cable lol

Hate that cable Mad

Yeah there's no way I was rockin that

for my 4080

sweet oak

Same, but in black

harsh dove

Yeah corsair made their own as well, I used it for a bit before I got my custom when I had the black screen issues

#

It was good

#

yeah I got the black version

cold bloom

I wish I got the white/black cause I got custom cables that are white/black sleeved but oh well lol

only black is redblue

oh right I forgot about that

Nah just use the wooting foam/silicone

Ok ty

got the pc plate added foam and ws jade switches tho so i cant comment on the improvement the case would make alone

im not a huge rgb enjoyer but it looks good imo

Yo if anyone in here wants to buy a 60HE in a black redux that comes with a PC plate I’ll give free shipping to anyone in this discord interested. $250 shipped.

this came with my tofu 60 case (not redux or 2.0, the old one). Idk what they are

#

pls help

#

if you guys have a tutorial on youtube or something, that would be great too

#

im assuming the black circles are for the feet, but idk what the clear thing is/what to do with them

agile drift
#

guys does anyone know if the wooting60he+ module is compatible with the tofu acrylic case ?
and can i use a pcb that has underglow with it or will i be loosing all the features of the wooting e.g rapid trigger etc. (going to be my first custom keyb so dont judge plz)

visual sonnet
#

you can use the pcb and case

agile drift
#

do you have any pcb reccomendations that have an underglow?

#

this is my goal^

visual sonnet
#

its my first time building a keyboard

#

i know the theory, not the practical

ohh

no worries thank youu

cold bloom

#

also as for the rubber parts, is it the same as a burger mount?

cold bloom
#

but you don't have one rn by the looks o fit

visual sonnet
cold bloom
#

burger mount would be using the black screws you have in that photo but a small oring around each screw above and below the pcb

#

friction mount is easier cause you can remove it put it back in pretty quick

#

but both valid

uneven cradle
visual sonnet
#

could you elaborate on the clear rubber parts more pls?

visual sonnet
cold bloom
#

and the clear rubber parts basically cover the metal stand offs that are poking out of the inside of the case

#

so it basically works as the bottom part of a burger mount

visual sonnet
visual sonnet
cold bloom
#

yeah exactly, in ur case Id use the clear rubber pieces then atleast so the screw doesnt go right into metal

#

and yes

#

exactly

visual sonnet
#

okay sweet, thank you

cold bloom
#

no problem

visual sonnet
#

i will most likely stream myself building it in vc

#

so i dont get lost or do something wrong

cold bloom
#

are you just swapping cases or anything else?

agile drift
visual sonnet
#

later down the line i will disassemble it for the burger mount and perhaps lube it

harsh dove
#

Please refer to this^ for a lot of references and questions

visual sonnet
#

okie dokes

#

i dont think my question could of been answered there

harsh dove
#

No worries, just plenty of good info there

cold bloom
#

good to go

visual sonnet
#

should’ve gotten a redux, but it was a steal

cold bloom
#

the tofu? I have one rn

#

the non redux one

visual sonnet
#

original or 2.0?

harsh dove
#

Yeah you shouldn't have any issues

cold bloom
#

just put the module into the case closer to the left side, screw the top left in and make sure it lines up

#

then do the rest lightly

#

I have the original

harsh dove
#

just make sure to line up the USB Port before screwing it down completely

cold bloom
#

^^

visual sonnet
#

yeah, i know you have to screw in the left corner more than the rest because of the port

harsh dove
#

yup yup

cold bloom
#

just do the left corner first and line it up a bit

#

then do the rest to the point they just kinda screw in lightly not fully

visual sonnet
#

also with the foam inside, i can’t just plop it down right? i think you have to cut off some parts

cold bloom
#

should be okay

harsh dove
#

Yeah just put it in

#

don't gotta cut anything

cold bloom
#

some people flip it or take off a layer but it's fine the way it is

visual sonnet
#

i saw a youtube video and some guy had to cut it down a bit. I can send a link to it and a time stamp

cold bloom
#

maybe he took off one of the layers?

#

I had used it just the way it came out before and you maybe gotta press down to get the first screw in but it should be fine

visual sonnet
# cold bloom maybe he took off one of the layers?

cold bloom
#

I think that's cause he flipped it?

#

you can cut a bit for the usb like he did if you want

#

doesn't hurt

harsh dove
#

It doesn't use that foam anymore

cold bloom
#

You can see where he flipped it

harsh dove
#

It's already cut

cold bloom
#

theres a cutout already

#

yeah

#

he just flipped it over

harsh dove
#

and the lower standoff is optional

#

not required

cold bloom
#

I was just gonna say that

visual sonnet
harsh dove
#

Yeah

cold bloom
#

the one by the spacebar often messes up the sound

harsh dove
#

It doesn't look like that anymore

#

it's thinner too

cold bloom
#

if you just do the 4 corners that should be enough

visual sonnet
#

okay let me write this down

#

shut

#

shit

cold bloom
#

lmao

#

don't cut any foam

#

screw in just 4 corners

#

and line up top left first

#

with usb port

harsh dove
#

Yeah

cold bloom
#

and put rubber clear covers over standoffs

visual sonnet
#
  • dont need to cut any foam
  • screw only 4 corners, dont have to do centre or anything else
  • line up top left first with usb port
  • screw lightly so they just screw in, but screw the left one enough so it lines up the port to hole
  • put rubber clear cover over all the standoffs, and if it doesnt work just skip it
cold bloom
#

they may not fit the 2 side ones but you can check

visual sonnet
cold bloom
#

the side ones in the original case are kind of blended into the case

#

and the covers are circles

#

so they don't really fit on

#

they fit the 2 top ones and the spacebar one

visual sonnet
#

ill just put it on all the standoffs and then see which one fits and doesnt

cold bloom
#

yeah exactly

#

do the 2 without light so they just screw in and you should be fine

#

I can send you the orings for burger mount if you wanna do that down the road

#

that obviously will work on the side standoffs too

#

I think badseed tech shows how to do it

harsh dove
#

Tofu foam on top
Wooting foam on bottom

cold bloom
#

and links them

visual sonnet
visual sonnet
harsh dove
#

It has cutouts for all the screws and usb port

#

and i have a link for it already, ty tho

cold bloom
#

I use this one

#

it's aight

#

I wanna get a new case eventually

visual sonnet
#

ohh i see

#

i may not buy one tho so

#

no point if it works fine

cold bloom
#

yeah you def don't need to

visual sonnet
#

i wish i could get weights for it to make it heavier

cold bloom
#

you could always sell it sometime and get a redux or something

#

but it's a decent case as is

#

the stupidfish foam I linked is nice cause it has foam for the battery well too so insulates it well

visual sonnet
#

it was a gift from my girlfriend, i will not be selling it

cold bloom
#

fair lol

visual sonnet
cold bloom
#

another thing I found that helps is to plug the hole on the bottom left of the case idk why it's there

#

but I put some foam I cut into small pieces in it and taped it lmao

#

it helps the board sound a bit more consistent from left to right

visual sonnet
#

wait where

cold bloom
#

on the bottom left of the case like under where wasd would be

#

there's like a square hole
