yeah, with what you get it seems to be priced relativly well
Yeah
$890 for the supermassive, but tbf, i prefer the look of the normal one
altough, the weight on that thing
tazzzzzz
2.6KG for normal, 5.4 KG for supermassive lol
That's a hefty 60%
Idk I was about to get a mode sixtyfive but by the time I customized it to how I wanted it, it was getting dangerously close to Kohaku pricing 
Yeah the Fjell is close to that at 2kg unbuilt
If I'm spending that much might as well spend an extra $80 and get something special
In terms of ?
Oh this
KKB keycaps are really nice, never warped space bars
Yeah Iād rather get a kohaku
o i really wanna try a kohaku
Where is the best place to order the gateron jades from for wooting?
Gateron site?
lol yeah
It is nice tho
Gateron or AliExpress
Can also see how much the WS Dashes are
Exact same switch
Different stem color
yeah it gets up there, and this is nothing compared to the copper/brass bottoms
Already have the PCB and Plate? Love 60% keyboards? Simple and really well-made e-coated aluminum case, right here! Includes silicon strip feet, M2 Screws, O-rings, silicon case dampener, AND a carrying case. All for 70USD, cannot get a better deal than this! We, here in KeebsForAll, strive to offer affordable options for those who are barely ge...
Is this the place to get Freebird60?
Yeah
And here for the jades?
Yeah
1 Quantity = 70 pcs WS Dash HE Switch  WS Dash HE Switch Specifications Switch type: Linear Switch Top Housing Material: PC Bottom Housing Material: PA Stem: POM Total travel distance: 3.50±0.2mm Trigger stroke can be freely defined Preload: 30±10gf Bottom Out Force: 50±10gf Spring Type:L=15mm/Single Stage Lifespan:
Can check these too
May or may not be cheaper
Same exact switch
Different stem color
The weight is what makes it though
Do you think the fac lube is good enough?
Yes
I see people lube it more to where it sounds moist š but that's not gonna be good for your switches accuracy besides the feel
Iāll use that in future thanks but I just stumbled across these amazing key caps that will hopefully be released depending on interest
Couldnāt save a high quality image but the details are incredible
Yeah just be careful with this set because it's all pad printed which means the legends will fade very quickly
How quickly would they fade. I would consider purchasing multiple sets
Probably after a couple months of normal-heavy use
You sure? Can't imagine it being cheap 
Also as an interest check who knows when/if you would actually get it
Bit of a weird set to be full pad print but also they want GMK
Are u planning on doing any streams on the new things ur getting
Like the black jades or somethin
Yeah
Ima tune in to them for sure
Huh. Looked like a stain to me. lol
lol yeah it kinda does
If you rub your finger over it itāll be a lil rough usually
Just from the mold
Yeah just a mold mark
Mine doesnāt feel rough either tbh
Yeah theyāre authentic
Embrace the shine
āØ
How can you buy directly from GMK?
Uff, I was too scared of all white and went instead WoB
Itās not all white
For me the proper cherry profile also plays a big part, can't use OEM anymore, feels clunky
OEM feels like having dirty sex with the keycaps
Ah nice
Yeah I donāt like OEM tbh
Cherry is the way
Even tho is a minor difference
I can feel it lol
OEM feels like someone just finished sculpting something out of wood but hasn't refined it yet, like it still has rough edges and needs to be polished / refined
Yeah I could see that lol
I don't think it's a minor difference
Me? No, stock case in the original box in the closet
That's a Salvation
just got it
What are the best pbt keycaps
Is this common on PBT?
Oh god it hurts so bad. I just found out my āGMKā keycaps are counterfeit. Iām so ashamed I fell for it. When I got them I was brand new to the hobby and didnāt know enough to spot the scam. Iām so embarrassed. Ty @pure magnet for the point you made. It set me on the right path to understanding what I did. I reported those fkkers to the FTC and Iām going to try and report the fraud to my bank tomorrow. Be wary guys. Only deal with reputable dealers. 
Depends on who's making them
My CannonKeys BoG Don't have any mold marks like that
Have you seen any from these guys ^^
Yeah I just said CannonKeys lol
oh sorry I skimmed past that lol
Wait where did you buy them?
Oof
Yeah Gmkeycaps and Gmkkeycap are both clone sites
They try to portray as legit GMK retailers
Iām so sad one of my keycaps on my beige gmk set has a little tiny dot on it
From the legend material poking through
Is that illegal?
I don't know the exact laws but probably some loophole
CRP for its suede on a pebble stone touch, great quality but limited designs. Hhkb I like most but no MX version sadge
Maybe Iāll take this learning opportunity and order the Mecha 01r2 from drop after I save some money. Itāll make me feel better.
Hammerworks?
Yep, I have the C64 but kinda sucks on a board that wasnāt designed 100 years ago
so every day I check this thread people disagree on rather or not those gateron switches that are on pre order will be wooting compatible or not. Is there a majority consensus now? https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-dual-rail-magnetic-jade-mini-e-switch?VariantsId=10812 most people point out the their reversed polarity but I cant find that on the website. On their it just says 'e' means north facing led built. I'm new to keyboards so not sure and just waiting on my 60he+
these are not compatible
Haha fair enough
It's not a rumor, it's a fact, these are not compatible with the Wooting PCB
thank you bro saved me a headache. I hope the rest of this year has more switch releases though for sure!
There will be a another verison though
Yeah no worries! Definitely more to come this year
There will be a Mini N variant that will work with the Wooting PCB
Just don't buy the Mini E
CAM I feel like you would know, has silicone injected stabs been the new thing?
Just get regular jades they're available now and most likely cheaper
I've seen a couple of silicone injected stabs from different companies.
Idk exactly how new it is but yeah it does seem to be fairly new recently
Stabilizers can arguably make or break a keyboard and you want to know what the best ones are. I mean, who wouldnāt want the best for their keyboard, right? The problem is that there are so many different stabilizers to choose from. How do you choose the best ones? Well, let me give you my personal tier list of what I think the best stabilizers ...
Alexotos ranks the Knights 2nd best to Cherry Clip Ins
do i need to screw in the pcb with friction mounting
Already got some WS dashes just came in today! They are a jade re-color.
wait nvm
I have them. They are great
Nice they're a pretty big upgrade in feel and sound š
I gotta do a sound test sometime
Wonder how much difference there is between the aliexpress pc plate and the wooting one 
I don't remember which point I made š¤ but yeah only buy from reputable resellers when it comes to GMK or when it's second hand ask for an invoice. It's already really fishy if someone owns a gmk set but not an invoice
You asked how does one buy keycaps direct from GMK
This^^
can anyone compare ghost judges to pbtfans
Btw just so youāre aware, this is GMK Official webshop
https://uniqey.net/us/keycaps/
Official website
@harsh dove ty !
At least these clone sites should use funny names like GMKay
ROLLER LINEAR SWITCHES The inspiration of the design is to capture a brand-new level of smoothness and minimize the stem wobble. It features 8-ball bearings that secure the stem movement, transitioning from face-to-face to point-to-point contact.This would change and reduce friction, thereby increasing the smoothness o
Bruh
NOT HE SWITCH
but wtf
They put ball bearings in that bih
I wish they'd release a silent HE switch
You'd likely need non-magnetic ball bearings
Yeah, most likely
Wooting Roller HE š
Will the 2HE also have rappy snappy?
Rappy Snappy is coming to all wooting boards iirc
all HE wooting boards
Yeah
(sorry if i missed this in the FAQ) if i dont have any molykote would 205g be fine for lubing the stabs on my spacebar? its the only thing thats not quite where i want it and its only on the left side that makes a more pronounced "ping" kinda sound 
205g is fine, just have to go a bit thicker with how much you use
ok awesome, thank you so much, definitely gonna do it after i get the kiddos down!
Here's what I used as a reference/guide for mine https://youtu.be/usNx1_d0HbQ

Tool I used to...
oh sick thank you
I have been very happy with my swagkeys knights in my wooting
all I had to do was 205g0, really didnt do any tuning at all
Ah so you did still have to apply lube?
I did yeah
but i'm just glad to not have tof uck around with dieletric grease or holee modding cause that stuff sucks
Well honestly, I guess I didnt try them dry
But that didn't even cross my mind
I think they recommend on their product page to use 205g0
Yeah it's recommended to lube them
its a wonderful era of stabilizers and its about fucking time lol
Haha yeah I'm happy to see newer designs
Besides Norbauers really expensive design. I definitely like to see some more ābudgetā options.
Yeah I wouldn't hope on those anytime soon if at all
I have not been able to find any videos on the Wuque WS stupid stabs
@cold bloom gummy mount is no bueno
Oh no what happened lol
What is rappy snappy
Is there somewhere with more info
getting my wooting today
about to case swap it
do i have to plug it in first and do anything as it comes, or can i just case swap it immediately?
I think you can case swap immediately
Thatās heat
fr
same here


it is amazing how dumb I am, I don't understand how this works
wtf
?
idk thats kinda like
weird but efficient to me
in the right hands that can work wonders
it's just logical to bring such a feature since an analog keyboard doesn't send a 1 or a 0 anymore
and yet the osu creators fight against it, because they call it cheating
"not the way osu was meant to be played"
it's like saying "we are against the evolution of technology"
just embrace it and see where it leads to before saying it's an unfair feature.
Sure, it's kinda p2w, i agree, yet the technology is there and it's not just wooting benefitting from it
Yeah but wooting is the only ones that will have it for x period of time
So wahh wahh you can't use it
given that you can buy an UwU for 50 bucks?!? i don't see the reason of crying their eyes out
it's just gatekeeping in an annoying way
They just dont want people to get a new PR
Or have a competition against traditional vs evolution
Fair forgot the uwu existed
Either way they are just being cry babies
honestly, anyone who's competing in osu uses an HE keyboard in some way or another already
Ig yea but it depends
yeah, just like the sayodevice, no?
the what?
not even close in terms of performance... the sayo surely is an alternative to the UwU, yet the UwU comes with functions the QwQ doesn't even come close to
i agree
Also the sayo has a not so good reputation for just stopping working š
oof
i mean i'm not really saying its better, i was just giving another examp in a way
You guys think full Japanese keycaps is a bad idea if I donāt speak Japanese š
i mean
i have japanese keycaps, but i only got them because of the xda profile
If you dig the aesthetic š¤·āāļø
^
Yeah⦠š
that reminds me of touch typing with blank keycaps, but instead of blank keycaps, its just labeled with characters you can't read lmfao
Imma start with these ones. Then when I learn the keys a little more I can switch the the other ones 
did they just drop?
Nah pre order
THEY HAVE WHITE BACKLIT ONES?
i'm sold
I was gonna say if you like white
well
They look real good too
and purpl;e
Idk how to incorporate red on white without my entire setup being overbearing
Cuz my mousepad is black
My mouse will be red on white
Ugh
Shi
White keyboard I canāt do
Way too dirty
Maybe Iāll just do black and white everything
lord
Minus the mouse
you'd be going down the same path i'd be going
Ye Iāve always done that
even though i have a small ass room
I also hate rgb š
I need a new desk first tho
I made my own at Lowes
And now the middle of the desk is sagging bad
Thatās what I get for building it š
rgb is ok
I try to get no rgb and if it does have any. White
if its like multiple colors all at once, then yeah no, its tacky
i just leave a static color on my wooting ngl
Yep
Same
I think I wanna do a mini itx build next but idk how hard it is to build in one
Depends on the case
They are more expensive than regular ones?
Depends, there are relatively affordable options but yeah in general they are a premium
Is there a really good one most people get?
Dan c4, formd t1, fractal Terra. Lots of options that's just what I see a lot on youtube
OK cool
I just remembered a lot got released for computex so Iāll research that too
Iām just imagining how dirty cars get in white. Imagine a keyboard
Wash your hands
and you're not driving your keyboard on dirty roads
Iām a clean freak lol
4 times a day doesn't sound healthy...
Eh I think the white is still like too much
Itās like 2-4
But at least 2
It also has to do with a condition I have but not the point
Fair enough I just wanted to show ya one of my all white boards
2 is fine, but everything more than that and you're basically washing off your own outside immune system barrier
Itās good looking! Just not my cup of tea I suppose
So about my immune system. I got chrons disease so like itās already messed up beyond return
See thatās cool
Haha
Got any examples of white and red?
I have GMK Sumi, that's about it and that's just red enter, esc
with black alphas and white modifiers
something more like this instead?
that smaller V taper threw me off for a sec lol
still need keycaps to properly match the concrete gray case, but ehh...
Concrete Keycaps
i was fiddling around with several setups before i went with that
massive pain in the ass to mix black and white caps...
i think he's looking for something more wine red like
Nah Iāll show you
Ah, thought he was saying Sumi was dark red
i'd guess something more in the style of the tofu in red
I thought sumi was but I think im thinking of a samurai one or sum
How about this 
Yeah GMK samurai is darker
More velvet red
something i can use comfortably in front of a customer without getting a weird look pls?
I keep it simple š
Ye
I keep it...
Optimal layout
aren't there gundam keycaps actually? oO
Yeah
i mean you could go with the red evangelion caps instead
what bothers me more is the fact of XDA tbh
i can't stand XDA
my final look
keycaps are gmk clones from aliexpress
last thing i need is wooting cable
the detachable or the normal one?
I really like hopperbus' 60HE+
I also love yours a lot
detachable the āstealthā one
thx i lot i tried to keep it as minimal as possible
it paid off, you did good
i'd give you one of my detachable ones, but i think the stealths won't fit your build
Imma get the stealth one
How much š§
just because i'm offering it to a single person on a server doesn't mean i'm offering it to everyone
im getting a stealth one with my 80HE
how does one of yours look and will it allow the wooting to have 100% brightness while using taychon mode or how is it spelled
2 stealths and a Take control
and yes, obviously it can do both things at the same time. That's literally what Wooting had in mind designing the cables
My fault og
ok so you are offering the original wooting ones and how much for them
I want PBTfans BOG, dont keep reminding me ššš
They better do BOG R2, and make it with the Simple Base.
is that urs?
nope
sink or swim

Does brass weight in tofu60 affects the sound? And can someone tell is it worth to get holy60 instead, or its sound terrible?
it does affect sound, especially since it fills a cavity, I personally really do not like the holy 60 sound wise but that is personal preference
But i can fill cavity with foam? I dunno is it worth to pay extra 30$ for weight
would sound different than brass
Someone here filled it with wood
I think thereās a sound test somewhere in this channel
worth ti imo
extra weight makes brain happy and it sonds much better
Okey, thanks guys. Tofu60 for 95$ is too much for me right now 
Ye we have a holy user who uploaded a sound test with photos of it in #1070668460905988106
Whoever was looking for red keycaps these could be an option. They can be whatever you want.
@hard moon
i'll wait for the 80HE first and see how it goes with the cable
if the detachable cable doesn't fully support it i'll definitely have a spare cable to sell
It shld be compatible
and will fully support it considering its a cable
But idk about the latency or length of actuation read with it
Uff, that's quite gamery lol
The ones from kapco are good
U cld try this
Is there any benefit of putting films to Jades?
From what ik is the sound
Film?
these little things
Iāve never heard of this. What is it and what does it do?
For switches with bad tolerances, It is supposed to reduce wobble
however, if the switch has extremely good tolerances, then films are going to make them worse
so I was thinking whether it is useful for Jades in particular
Probably a good idea for stock L60s then.
Stock L60s be like
@calm pulsar my Dashās are pretty tight so Iād imagine Jades are as well.
yeah if you try to move housings by hand it doesn't move, unlike stock v1 lekkers
Dude finding out I got scammed for my āGmkā keycaps has me feeling a certain way.
intrigued how you get scammed on gmk keycaps
you mean you got a fake set?
@calm pulsar yes
@austere creek I was brand new to the hobby and didnāt know certain sites were selling counterfeit sets.
i mean i apparently bough a gmk reproduction (found that out months later) but i also dont care cause it looks as expected and works like well... keycaps
by reproduction you mean replica?
yes
Yeah I see your point but I paid what a real set would cost. Iām pissed. Plus that site is representing themselves as GMK
oh ok thats different
i paid 30bucks or so with shipping
and it was aliexpress
although i also wouldnt know if id give a fat one if they look and feel like the real deal then i have spent the same as the real deal so it might be the real deal. but thats my personal opinion
"replica" imo implies they try to keep the construction somewhat truthful to the original
@austere creek yeah if I knew they were fake and cost a third I would be fine with it. These people just prey on the ignorant
Jades got better tolerance than the Lekker v1
sorry this happened to you
which set was it?
"gmkeycaps" just sells shit dyesub clones for example
@calm pulsar mint.
yeah im sure even if they are double shot, it is rare that someone does it like gmk
I mean there are other companies that also do it well, it's just that those also don't make 30 dollar keycaps
manufacturing costs money 
the first image in google search is from this website I assume, you can tell by this pic this is fake
Yeah but you have to remember I was brand new to this. I didnāt know any better.
I mean to me the legends look like absolute shit already
also gmk keycaps sells fakes
try to get a refund
yeah im just commenting on it, I sure as hell wouldn've been able to know the differences when I was brand new
@crimson sky yeah Iām gonna try
Jades do not have really any housing wobble.
@harsh dove sup brother , just install the tofu redux and also the jades with new stab . the sound and feel is DAY AND NIGHT
currenntly still waiting the shipment for the wooting PC Switch Plate , but i happy with the outcome
Awesome, glad you like it
@queen kernel sounds really nice. Good job
sounds like a keyboard
Sounds like a board of keys
since magnetic jades have less travel, would that affect my wooting settings or nah?
If you use cherry profile should you put your switches in south facing
any reason for south facing ?
This doesnāt matter anymore
Thereās like a 0.01% chance you get some keycaps that have interference
Most molds have been adjusted for that issue
No
as cam stated, there very likely isnt any issues, but if there would be, then you could do it and it should fix it
but yeah.....
Yeah it not impossible to have issues, but a majority of ārealā cherry profile keycaps work without interference
Goodeo Morning y'all!
Keep in mind a lot of brands that put ācherryā are not actually the exact cherry dimensions
Besides GMK and maybe a few others
GMK owns the OG cherry molds so
Oh fr?
actually unsure if keykobo replicates how deep gmk sits exactly
I thought they ask for permission or some shi from "Cherry" lol
tho I do know nobody replicates that
Gonna eat gmks cherries
they bought the tooling, gmk didn't call them "cherry profile", they call them "CYL" since the introduction of MTNU
only gmk PBT are MTNU profile
not cherry
for reference
Yeah they changed to CYL recently just meaning cylindrical
Yeah and I donāt know if I care much for the MTNU stuff
I kinda wanna try it but I feel like I wonāt like it
and that yea
same 
Can you guys please list off the sites of official GMK dealers please. Also do any of the dealers actually stock them or are they all drops?
they are sold with prepurchases usually and the in stock units tend to be extras for those purchases
thats all GMK sets, and i think it lists vendors too
euhm, some
Thanks fellas.
just god my two he and it feels so heavenly cloudy and creamy to me, but I read that people are lubing the switches even on brand new models, is that something that makes sense in the of the latest two he keyboards?
Also just a quick Google search of āAlexotos Vendor Listā will give you a bunch of reputable retailers from all regions across the globe
all Lekkers switches in the boards now come lubed, and you could do it better yourself, but it isn't going to be a massive difference
Any suggestions for purple GMK sets? I like mecha 01-r2 but Iām not crazy about the green
@harsh dove ty.
that was my assumption, thank you for confirming it!
kinda wrong tho. The factory lubing is decent enough to use the switches out of the box. However, the springs are bone dry
Yeah bag lubing the springs is a good idea imo
Even with the jades and lavenders I hear a bit of spring ping on some switches
yeah, you can do it better yourself, but then you have to spend quite some time, and the differrence to most people will be minimal
Speaking of which I need to lube my lavenders
They good but some of the springs bother me
https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-cyl-purple-night
still in stock too
i wonder how many more magnetic switches will come out being compatible with Wooting keebs...
š plenty š
hopefully
Yeah Iād expect quite a lot more as time goes on
Not that theyāre all compatible but we already have over 40+ HE Switches to release this year
its kinda annoying that theres different types of HE switches, makes it pretty confusing for new people to understand what is compatible with what
and the naming doesn't help either with most
naming is always quite stupid in the industry...
like the msi Z790 msi XPG pro graming
XPG already means extreme pro graming for them
well yeah, but preeeeety much any "normal" switch is just an MX compatible one, but with HE theres not really any "standard"
Well right now, the āstandardā is basically KS20 Series housings for specific PCBs and KS37 Series housings for specific PCBs and then either North or South Polarity
It's giving š
I just need module and switches
Whats mod on tofu60 with jades can makes sound more clackier?
I originally wanted to create a set using stock colors that hadn't been done before. After a small round 1 in 2019, the set became way more popular than I ever thought it would with people asking every single day for us to bring it back. So here it is, back for a second go, with the blockbuster treatment! ā Garrett
huge ahh sale
70 bucks for the base š±
Yeah if people want authentic GMK caps for cheap, then the Omnitype Sales are GOATED š
IM SOBBING IN SUCH TIME LIKE THIS 
Can get GMK sets for half the price a lot of times
lmao š
Gotta be fast tho
Their stuff sells out quick during happy hour
Omnitype has everything you need to make your desk setup one of a kind. We offer keyboards, switches, and keycaps that you can mix and match to build a custom keyboard curated to your taste. We also have a variety of deskpad designs that will transform your workspace, home office, or gaming desk. Make your #deskgoals.
not gonna buy it tho
I gotta stop
I wanna save up for a bike so...
im trying to get into biking over the summer
I could get 4 sets for the price of 2 rn lol
GMK Redacted, Norse, Botanical, and Redline
Crazy
how long does the sale last for
dunno how happy hour works
17th 6pm central
Tasty
gah dayum

holyyyy shietttt
i was considering dracula and redline, but ended ordering black snail the other day...
āThe more you buy, the more you saveā
Yes
Golds are standoffs for your case
yeah thinking about it š
gmk redline is very tempting
tempted by norse and dualshot2 o.o
Yeah I already have the rest except 8008
norse is awesome too
Like those half circles thing
Yeah
Yeah
OK-

Wait standard or bloo :0
I NEED TO ASK I SWEAR
Do I need to use these and the standoffs
omnitype has good sets damn
If Iām doing friction
Nope, all of that is optional
Not required
oh damnnnnnnn
too bad i cant order directly...
My kb is loose when I place it in the case
sounds like not enough friction
good luck with this
Thanks man
I must take my chance for the impossible
gmk norse is interesting
Yeah dope set
i wish there was a set where mods and alphas are of the same color as mods on norse
or something like this
Is there any alum cases with strap? Like alumaze?
Sweater weather is such a good set
Itās just the kb I have rn
Might grab it
I was debating this and November fog
what pcb is that and what oring
Like some Amazon 60 kb I got a couple years ago
That Iāve been using since
And itās grave shift m oring
I think 50a
any plate foam or anything/
could be
cus the o'ring to me is like inside the pcb
and plate
im not sure if thats a bad thing or not
but it could be why its moving around
pcb wise? idk
Prob plate foam
Iāll just deal with it until I get wooting module
Thanks for the help
If itās loose, add plate foam
yurr
What company is this keyboard mat from?
ngl i just cut up a piece of my yoga mat
Thanks
np
interesting..

Thinking of an idea
looking like my 2020-2022 self you are Cam 
dualshot at $70 kind of nice
Dunno if i should get the dualshot or 8008 lol
Either for price or looks
š

Just following in your and Tirades footsteps lol
I need it for school
I gotta save my money for very expensive upcoming group buys 
it's gameboy not ps style I think
Iām now stuck.
CYL Phantom R2
CYL Purple Night
Mecha 01r2
Yo guys
Can I use a third party 60% plate for my 60he?
Like that one
Iām tired of my keyboard being soft when playing osu
You have iso or ansi?
If ISO, that looks like itāll work
You will need a counter sunk screw kit
And those holes are likely too big for the small screws they come with so youāll have to use your extra PCB screws if you have any or just screws with bigger heads
No, youāll need to get a custom one made
This only works for MX
Oh noooo
Oh word
Do you still have the steel one
Well yeah my bad, Iām being slow XD those big spaces wonāt fit HE switches
But I prefer my kb being hard when playing
I got the 60 he+ module
Cause HE switches are held by the plate
Well that part would fit it just doesnāt have holes for the standoffs
It came with pc plate
Ah true true
Those cutouts are just for modding your switches without desoldering
Right
Old school stuff
Yeah
Could email wooting and see if they can sell you a steel plate
Already tried?
Hypekeyboard then
I donāt wanna pay 50 bucks for shipping š
Oh
Well out of options then 
Ig itās a skill issue lmao
Tbh maybe Iām just tweaking
I got raptors
And waiting for them now
Maybeee it will feel better to tap
maybe get a denser plate from aliexpress, fr4 or carbon
kbdfans sell them
actually fr4 has flexcuts, so carbon fiber is probably the densest option apart from metal plates
Hey @harsh dove what switches do you currently main in your wooting?
Lavenders/Jades
Based on my current knowledge, some hall affect switches compatible with Wooting are following options:
Jades
Lavenderās (which Iām new to)
Lekkar switches
I think thereās 1 more Iām missing, was there anything else?
I was trying to order a new set of switches but wasnāt sure which to aim for. Iāve heard great things about Jades, wondering if thereās something better out there before spending 60$ on them
there are also other options from Gateron, there's basically a dual-rail Lekker switch
and the Raptors
Yes, raptors was the one I forgot to mention. I heard Jades feel better than Raptors so Iām kinda leaning towards Jades rn
Gotta look into those gateron options though
the gateron ones are basically lekkers (except for Jades and the dual-rail thing)
Idk if thereās anything necessarily better than Jades or Lavenders, thereās KS20U Dual Rails from Gateron that are open bottom 4mm and thereās WS Dashes which are just a Jade recolor, thereās Geon RAW HE, NEO Lavender, BackSpaces Black Dual Stage Spring Jades , Gateron Jade Mini āNā ( Not āEā) , Iām about to also test the new Kailh Source Series HE Switches aka ā Mistralsā @static tendon
Is this the one youāre referring to? https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-ks-20-magnetic-white-switch-set?VariantsId=10680

This switch is only compatible with keyboard fit lekker switch-Wooting. ⢠Type: Linear ⢠Operating Forceļ¼30gf ⢠Total Travel: 4.1±0.2mm⢠Initial magnetic flux: 102Gs⢠Bottom-out magnetic flux: 905Gs⢠Action travel: Freely setting ⢠Spring: 15mm ⢠LED Supportļ¼SMD ⢠Pre-lubed: Yes ⢠Lifetime: 100 million

these are dual rail lekkers, but tbh I think closed bottom ones are simply superior
if we ever get closed bottom AND dual-rail, then this probably would overthrow Jades
Meanwhile Im waiting for my father to come home so that I can ask if I can buy a bike š
Yeah the Jade Mini N will be that
The Mini E is already out
But it has South Pole magnets
yeah I talked to Gateron on aliexpress, they said it's not compatible š¦
Oh wow. A lot more options than what I remember. Would you happen to know if those Lavanders are also open bottom? I feel like Jades is a solid upgrade due to that closed bottom
Lavenders are like Jades
But with Nylon top housing
And listed as 3.8mm instead of 3.5mm
They have closed bottom
Sound slightly poppier than jades
can someone link Lavenders? I've only hard of Jades and Dashes, which are Jades from WS
Sorry if it may be common knowledge but what is dual rail in switches? Iāve heard the term before but never knew what it was
ig it's an attempt to reduce stem wobble further, not sure if it is really that good
Dual rail stems
Dual rail is a type of system that uses rails insert between the stem and bottom housing to reduce or fully eliminate stem wobble
Reduces stem wobble
Ohhhh that makes sense. I wonder if that would make it feel less smooth due to more friction
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Some people have complained that they feel like they bind a bit when not pressed in the center
lube 
Like the on edge of the keycap
Ive only tried l60s 
if that's the case Imma just stick with Jades
I only have l60s 

I personally havenāt experienced that issue but just quoting what Iāve seen some say
I guess for some more feedback. @harsh dove and @calm pulsar what is your favorite Hall effect switch so far? I know Jades/Lavanders been brought up but is there a preference between these?
I currently run the L45ās. A smiiiidge too light for my liking. If there was like a 50 gram with less stem wobble that would be amazing
personally I only tried Jades, but Lavenders sound interesting by Cam's description
I just like the color of Lavenders so a bit biased
Im gonna get a nice switch puller before my massacre 
I strongly prefer clear housings over colored housings due to the RGB effects but if one has a more preferred sound or feel, Iād maybe steer that direction
Jades and Lavenders are 50g and 52g respectively
Oh thatās amazing. So theyād likely feel lighter than L60s. L60ās are too heavy in my opinion. I didnāt like the feel
Lavenders top housing has a very very small hint of purple
Otherwise RGB looks great
I donāt use RGB but I tested it
can you help me with a link to Lavenders? I can't seem to find them on google, only non-HE Lavenders
great thanks
White RGB 100% brightness with lavenders
I used to have foggy bottom housing/clear housing switch and then got switches that were all clear top/bottom. The RGB effect was night and day different. It shines quite a bit brighter in the fully clear housings. I feel like the purple may give off this purple hue to lighting a bit?
Dang, sick case. What is it? Compatible with wooting Iām assuming?
so pretty
Have to make/get a custom plate for it
Frog Mini
Thatās right. Frog mini, still using the salvation at all?

Yeah I use the salvation at work with mx PCB
I absolutely love the salvation. Still running it. Donāt think Iāll ever change it unless some similar design releases
Yeah itās nice
𤤠current setup with Salvation

that keycap set is lovely
o lawd have mercy

š«¶
we must stay focused
Mine for work
I had BoG on there but wanted to try them on something else
Dang your salvation looks amazing
No you
Oh, just in case. Do after market switches ever experience weird key presses or anything? Like if I go for Jades or Lavenders?
Not in my experience
haven't had any issues with Jades
in terms of setup they are the same as lekkers, just reduced travel from the bottom, so all of your settings should work the same
Ok cool. I actually prefer a shorter travel distance similar to my old Cherry mx Silvers. Miss that actually
Wooting for work? š¤
Thatās not a wooting
Oh
Lord I just texted my mom instead of waiting

I scared
Slapped on a 62% discount on that message
Know damn well us asians love our discounts 
Salvation with Avocado š„ PCB, Tecsee Ice Candy Switches, Rose Gold Alu plate, and GMK Olivia
Itās kind of a mashup of stuff I had around
And stuff from Tirade
"This is me, an asian. And I make my money worth"
Does material of the weight affect the sound? if the weight is wooden for example?
For the case like the tofu?
Yeah
I think Thockson has just the video for you š
Well in terms of ping and hollowness yea
āThe pitch of a sound is largely determined by the mass (weight) of the vibrating object. Generally, the greater the mass, the more slowly it vibrates and the lower the pitch.ā
lol
hollup
Let it cook
Oh, u get it
Nice example!
my brass weight in tofu redux worked in the same way, and I covered the whole bottom with car insulation on top of that
but then I switched to Freebird60 which has no weights, rip
Yeah, me too(
thanks
How to use Ā (switch/stabilizer, + stem) Calibration1) It can be used in any direction regardless of the direction2) Dimensions change depending on the number of uses by pushing out the stem rather than by cutting it out3) Use it several times for switches and keycaps that are not used as tools that require adaptation4)
The heck lol
Thank you very much, great example. What u can say about foam in weight slot?
Pretty neat actually
Gonna grab that for some artisans I have that have tolerance issues
Ofc
just will make it sound more "wet" or "foamy"
for cherry mx clears really
they have a knob that will crack keycaps if you don't shave them down
GUYS
I GOT MY MOM TO SAY OK
ofc she talks abt the shipping 
GMK 8008 STANDARD HERE I COME BABBYYY
Okey, get it
The more you buy, the more you save
gratz man

Well seems like my dad is done with me in the keyboard hobby, wont buy me shi for it ever again
oh well
Dad seems like an Anti-FOMO Chad 
do you atleast still get the keycaps
yea he just asked "How many set do you have"
Answered 1, which is my gpbt i have rn
Then he said "Ok you can get another set."
lol
Neo Lavenders you're next!

Anti-FOMO

yurrrrrrrr
Why no GMK lol

silent HE switch would go crazy

Grey Tofu Redux - brass weight + car noise insulation
I also think he wants a ALL BLACK HE BOARD
:D
Ayyyyyyy
welp
He must not deny!
Today is the day for us to shop the discounts of our lives!
yessir
still has 99 dollar shipping since it's on clearance but
atleast it's still way less than the og price :DDD
fr reminding me of the 40 dollar shipping on the klippe t
40 WTF
where they be shipping from tf š
I think lekker v2 is as close as we'll get
For now 
Kdbfans charged me 30 twice and it still took more than the expected time because it stayed in one place for 10 days lol
Yeah the most neutral or lowest pitched HE switch for Wooting rn is prob the peaches (KS20U), lekker v2, Fraken Raptor.
KS20U and Lekker V2 is tech the same, just one has dual rail and one doesnt
And the one doesnt have an improve stem wobble like the jades
FAX
I donāt want people making up shit about switches that havenāt been tested tho
Lolzzzzz
I heard v2s moan when you press them
Proof 
If it's not a secret, how much did tofu60 cost to you all?
i got it from KBDfans, $59 + $25 for weight.
and $22 for shipping and taxes
actually I remembered that was me moaning when I switched from stock wooting switches to jades
I don't think it's that hard to infer what the v2s will be like
I did some math and the build cost me dearly. $443
i also calculated my builds, and with all the extras like wrist rest, carrying case and those things. mine end up at ā¬472 and ā¬518
$102 with weight and shipping
I didnt get extra... Only stabs, tofu+weight, gateron jade 70pcs and chinese keycaps
Shipping couldāve been more possibly cause I bought other stuff with it, not just the case
But itās was about $10 shipped
Well it cost me the same
Yeah I bought extra plates, keyboard stands, a brush, etc
Modifying wooting turned out to be more expensive than I thought
not stonks
The price of wooting in my country is much higher than it should be(
oh also, idk if that included shipping/taxes. but the prices i listed are just the components
I bought it for $261
Ah, that means I didnāt spend as much money as I already thought 
if i added those i would probably end up at 100+ atleast
How much wooting cost with shipping?
i guess sound wise would there be any rattle
if i left any space*
oh, i had free shipping for the board, since i am from the same country, but for the case, caps, switches
Probably want them to be pretty snug
lol i noticed we have 2 servers in common
I think I know where u r from š


I NEED?
