Iād maybe adjust for margin of error
gotcha gotcha
Yeah 
is 0.0625in poly alright for the plate?
because i know the average wanted plate height is around 1.5mm
delrin sheet*
I donāt know the exact wooting plate specs tbh but Iām sure theyāre around here somewhere
Thatās about 1.58mm and the wooting plate is apparently 1mm thickness
oh huh, i saw on the actual cad that it was 1.5mm is that innaccurate?
If thats from the wooting cad file then id follow that
btw are you designing a plate for plate mounted stabs or screw-ins?
it looks like its for plate-mounted, but if you got your wooting recently, it should support screw-ins
Theyāre designing a gasket mount
Appears to be an entire case really
And yeah they have the plate mount cut outs
yup they mentioned that it's a whole case in general chat I think
Ah fair
Any opinions on if burger mounting is worth the ~10 USD to order the screws and rings? Would it make that much of a difference?
IMO friction mount is better and cost about the same
what did you use to do this?
Just ordered the 60he+ module and my jades and holy60 red case will be here next week just waiting on the pcb š
A gummy o ring from Graveshift
M-Size 40A
About $5
These work too
Thatās what I got I think
The 30A, 60?
anything between 30-50 is recommended but you can choose what you prefer
Higher number = harder/stiffer
I prefer about 40A
Cam do u know if backspace ships from us or from another country
A bit of an L because there are no keycaps to match that case imo. Kinda like wearing a Gucci suit jacket with ripped jeans full of holes. But if it works for you then go for it. Colour theme is on point though
- the setup it would be going in
clean!
im in love with the case right now, ive been trying to find a good keycap set to go with it and im going to mix some white inner keys and the brown Mod keys (outers)
def one of the more interesting cases to ever exist
yeah its really cool looking imo
i dont think it will be good for sound
but for looks its a 10/10
U can try sweater weather keycaps
They look like this
i do like them and its good suggestion but i think they are little more rose gold then bronze/brown
will be swapping from my white set and case with the Holy60 case alot and based on how i feel.
redacted would go crazy with it
Would look good on the frosted version of the Holy60
thats exactly what my plan was before i found a different set
imo the Holy60 is really nice in the silver but i dont want to have to preorder so the mocha is the best from non preorder
and white and black
pbtfans x-ray is another cool white set
Not a fan, have to really dig the aesthetic because from all the sound tests I've never heard it sound good
yeah, silver can burn like every other silver build

not seen one person do a sound test on it
cool but translucent sucks
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...
#keybored Better Gaming Keyboard than Wooting 60HE?
The Wooting 60HE has been the benchmark keyboard for gamers... the special features it has due to the Hall-Effect switches deemed it the "cheating" keyboard... but now... other companies want a slice of its pie... like the new KBDfans Holy 60 + Rakka PCB... but is it any good? Better than the...
i mena yeah but the switches they both use dont sound good anyway
suits the theme of holes and see-through imo
Doesn't sound too bad with MX but with HE....

I don't think that's gonna save it
Yeah I mean it was just Gat KS20 Oranges
lucky that i play games with headphones on then
do you also play games looking at your keyboard
As I said if you dig the aesthetic a lot go for it
Might sound okay with Jades or Lavenders or anything closed bottom
yes
got your priorities straight then
why didnt alex use jades damn
Jades ain't saving that spacebar
Atleast it aināt kbd shipping
also depents what sound you like, if you like a deeper and more thocky sound then yeah a case that is 90% air, its not going to do it any help, if you like clack then you will like it
no clack just yuck
its just ping
Yeah that ain't clack that's rattle and pinging
give me solenoid, Wooting
idk but your living room is being robbed brotha
1.6mm
lol. Thatās funny
6 months 
ah shiet
I bought the bike! :DD
Does anyone have burgundy tofu?
:DDDDDD
Quite a bargain ngl
og price 549 and got it for 289
and it's my size
"Smool"
yes
thank you
Just get a BoW like me and spruce it up with accents šÆ
I mean WoB
I've decided to not go white on gmk after I've seen my old old set again š
Not specifically GMK but white Keycaps won't last you that long
Tbh, you could simply get a BoW and use a marker, which will be more authentic šµāš«
Yeah but my whole aesthetic is purple. Purple case purple cord. And so on.
I want gmk cubed but couldn't find any with the novelties still available
Might worth looking into as to why side gaskets are rarely ever used(at least when it comes to 60% builds), it's likely to add stiffness if you're going for a softer typing feel
clean! i'm waiting for the new case to drop
indeed
Lazy bandwagon hopping
Typical Optimum

Nah I like the guy. It does look like a sweet case

Frfr
what keycaps did ya buy?
A soon to be GMK owner has arrived 
that discount is crazy - nice one!
only suckers pay full price
gimme bargains, all of it
Anyone here happen to know about any sa profile German iso keycaps, looking for 2 Sets, one light and one dark. Would also be ok with other profiles, not specifically just sa, as long as it's sculpted and high
lmaoooo us asians do be likin bargains š haha

Yo should I?
What abt the frog mini?
Honestly I would support if you consider
Hype
Well I donāt have one and I canāt find one
Even tho I couldāve bought one but didnāt
Was too slow
Should ask Nix for the plate file first
Once you get it then ig you could consider buying it
oh well i guess then yeah you should could buy it
i think my stabs are gonna be plate mount, but I thought there were standoffs connecting the pcb to the plate itself, so I was hoping that would be enough stability to keep the pcb connected to the plate when its only held up by the sides with gasket
true, honestly though i just wanna make my own case as like an experiment cause this would be my first time cadding a full case/plate build
so im kinda just experimenting
^^i didnt get the module because the restock was in mid july and I wasn't willing to wait that long, so I just got a whole normal wooting 60HE+
also are the hall effect switches the same dimensions as normal cherry mx?
trying to do some measurements for bevel testing for the top plate of the board
Alr ima go to sleep gn now yall
In terms of the mold designs, MX and HE switches are completely different which is why you cant swap parts with each other
I meant in like height
So I can put a Mx switch in my cad to simulate HE switch height
Basically placeholder to simulate height of the switch
Anyone know how the o ring friction mount would affect sound profile in a tofu redux?
Good deal?
Day 2 v1.0.1 cad finished, still lots of things to do

wtf is that lol
Hi guize i bought some gateron jades what are some easy mods I could do that would help my wootign soujd better
nothing really needed imo, they are lubed from the factory
Serious
Right after I get redux
Iām hopefully getting my aluminum keeb case laser engraved this morning. Results to follow soon.
If thatās for 70of them thatās a killer deal
I'm afraid that burgundy will be difficult to combine with different caps, and I don't like black because it looks a bit boring

Theres lots of red cap sets out there, can always mix and match if you need to :)
Does Burgundy look similar in color?
Yea I was thinking about adding a modular slide attachment later so I can change the angle whenever I want
Anyone know where I can get screw in stabs similar to wootings
Can you get the stabs out without disassembling the board?
if its plate mounted yes
If its screw ins no
i mean you could technically unscrew the PCB and keep the switches in the plate itself
Yes the stock wooting stabilizers. I need to lube them
Then you gotta remove the plate
remove the switches
unscrew the screw ins
plate mounted just remove the keycaps and pull the plate mounted stabilizer latches
Youre good to go
the stock ones are plate mounted
Didnt read he has the stock one šæ
Say do u have a 7 degree keyboard case by any chance
Ok. So I can just unclip them and lube them and clip them back in
7 degree?
Yes
Ye
the typing case

not sure how much of an angle the Alumaze is
The alumaze runs a 7.5
Its a 4 degree typing angle
the typing experience depends on a lot of things actually. Keycaps, type of plastic for the caps, springs, lubing, inlay, dampening, etc.
so i can't really tell someone if the typing experience is great. Everyone has their own preferences
Point taken
i.e. the PBT keycaps sound much more thocky than the dye sub keycaps and also feel a bit more solid
Ig with jades as well
Wld be a good idea
So long as i secure myself a spacer
Or a O ring that fits the stabilizer
To have a even length
i have to get my jades first
other than that there's soon the friction mount o-ring as well as the tadpole mount o-rings
Has adjustable feet
4 degree and 7.5 degree
Hey cam do you happen to knoww about the O ring dimension for the
stabilizers
Since im running short pole
Its all good dw
lol
O yea i speaking about O rings
If someone overtightens their board or fucks up a screw while doing a BG mount
they can destroy their O ring and the outer thread
Ig i'll see what i can do
Imma need a nice magnetic screwdriver set for my inevitable moddin ventures i just remembered 
My hands always fumble the screws
Goodeo Morning mates
life is good
How hard is it to replace the shell of the 60?
Not even hard
Just remove the keycaps remove the screws
plop it out and thats it
BUT do it properly
Do you have any recommendations on shells?

Wow thanks so much
Happy 2 help
Uses pbt caps?

Yeah thats who i was gonna go for 
Good brand to support imo
Screws are ph1 right if i remember correctly?
Yes

if you missed the wooting stream today, they showed off the Optiumum case and that they are planning for burger mount and friction mount
Can you elaborate on the "plan"
are they just doing burger mount and friction mount in it or-
its kind of a nicer version of burger mount with silicone feet around the standoffs
and they are also providing their own official o rings for friction mount
I feel like I could do better with the spacebar but itās so freaking heavy Iām afraid it wonāt rebound with more lube.
well thats interesting
damn ur hand makes the kb look so tiny 
Well hey hey hey not bad at all!
lol Iām only 5ā6ā
Oh to have big hands
Really? @fluid ravine am I being too hard on myself?
I'm 15 so i should step down
the kb sounds great imo
lol. I just need outside opinions. Iām too critical of my own work
(5'11-6' btw)
I mean its good, i dont really know what to expect with cera keys
but it sounds good
Just cleaned and relubed
it will sound even better with a mousepad under it 
Ty
š
Just in the workspace trust :D
my spacebar sounds so bad imma š
Plus the case weight is out getting engraved so sound is probably off a bit
ic
Its good
The only thing is that the
Space bar has a bit of a ping
But ig it gives off a good signature
Hmmm Optimum case same price as alumaze?
Yeah its probably bc of the keycap
I'm rewatching the stream
If u got any questions for ur HWRK id be happy to help
Ty
If its within my capability
Atleast youre not suffering like me LOL
its geometry lol
lol
No seriously
Those keys look artificially sweaty
My knights are fucking mushy and i just got a new one
As well as tryna secure a new case
Yeah I should but our inital course is affecting us (me and my friends/classmates) mentally rn cus the months of work are shorten into like 2-3 weeks
Well if u got any questions regarding it
I'll see what i can do
but no promises tho for the correct answers
lol thanks man
Just dm me it ig
Friction mount?
And ima head off to sleep soon since its 12 am
alright
NEW PCB?!
nah just a 60he but its for friction mount
"demon blood" in chat lel
O its a silicone sandwhich pad like the 80he but for friction mount
oh
O THE CASE WILL BE SOON
Since they've alrdy ramped up production and QC as well as QA
mhm
bet its gonna be on July
Probs mid of July
If not someone has to cop it for me while im away to enlistment
LOOL
xdd
@harsh doveIf im away Can u cop it for me
And have it ship to me
I'll legit paypal u the money to cover everything and give u profit
LOOL
Grease. I havenāt wiped it down yet.
lol sure
Ty
lol I was joking, cerakeys just look like that kinda
Yo you seen this psd60 gasket mount?
I think itās been around a while
yep quite a while
Yep
Just need this but fix the bottom right side lol
And top right
Right yeah
Could be sweet man. Might give it a shot
Kind of wish it was a slightly nicer case but whatever
Cheap way to try gasket mount on 60HE
Iāll give it a shot
It looks like it ?
Thereās BM60 Poker, Knob and ISO
I only know which one is ISO
Idk which one is Knob or Poker
It doesnāt seem to say
I think itās knob
Just cuz ISO is second listed and its second picture
And thereās 4 pics in a row
So best guess idk
Fuck yeah I picked arrow. Whoops

@harsh dove all wiped down. lol
Nice lol

What in the hell-
Wire looks like Costar
Yeah. I wish I could get one in black
Cerakeys āindigoā
Yeah, itās a slightly different approach. Will see how it is soon.
Yeah, just a bit surprised at how big the gaps are
But ig thatās cerakeys for ya
V2 even. Oh well
Boy getting the old grease out of the stabs was a lot of work.
@harsh dove there is no reason I canāt paint the plate right?
Yeah I donāt see why not if you know what youāre doing
Iād mainly make sure the thickness of the paint doesnāt interfere with the switch being seated in the plate
Good point. Maybe Iāll try it.
Yo is Temu safe or naw?
To order from, sure.

Anyone recommend a certain brand of key cap? š
HolyoopsĀ Aluminum Artisan Keycap
Ā
Specs
Vendor:Holyoops
Material: CNC anodized aluminum KeycapĀ
Compatible with Cherry MX switches
Pls pay attentions:Holyoops Keycaps only, not including other things.1.75u keycap, can only support Capslock or 1.75u shift:)
lol cute
Trying really hard to find other Alu keycap options but pretty tricky
Oh itās on ae now. Itās like alumaze clone with the redux weight šš
I love this more
French flag strip 
what the fuck is intellectual property
All those tags are ugly and 110% likely they feel cheap as hell too
Bunch of bad games and bad clans? Iād disagree lol..
Titanfall > Apex, sure. Calling all of CoD bad should be criminal though. šš
Shortcut Studio Bridge75 Keyboard is a feature-rich, fully built keyboard that is ready out of the box. With an inexpensive starting price, the Bridge75 delivers on its CNC aluminum body, tri-mode capabilities, and aesthetic design choices. Coming in three different versions to fit your keyboard needs. Shortcut Studio
looks kinda interesting. and a HE variant š
software looks like all the other generic boards
I like the sonnet layout
If referring to new CoD = Bad
Anything prior to BO3
Good
The good of old CoD far outweighs the bad of new CoD imo.
Nah, not even my opinion, thatās a fact. šš
Fair enough, agreed
What switches?
dunno. Its whats coming with that bridge75 HE
pre travel of 1.9mm is wierd
well a free actuation point cant really have a fixed pretravel and fixed operating force
@austere creek not sure who to ask. But this felt like the right place. I'm swapping my stock switches for jades on my 2he and a bunch of the initial srews are underneath switches that I need to open the board to get access to. This has caused one of them to pop out while unscrewing and snap. Is this normal for the 2he?
the screw snapped?
The switch did
also none of the screws are under switches
What am I looking at
The screw hole under the enter key for the wooting 2he
It's physically under a switch.
I'm glad you guys send 3 extras or I'd be down a key on my lekkers lol
Is this something I should be making a ticket about?
Screw 15 on this diagram
it should have enough clearance to not be under the switch itself
So mine has a manufacturing defect lol
Cool that's what I wanted to confirm
The screw literally broke the clips on the lekker above it
On the video it looks like there's full clearance
thats not exactly what i said. id have to check all my two HEs to confirm but my personal one on the desk has enough clearance to unscrew without breaking anything (since i took mine apart more than once)
I mean the video and diagram seem to confirm this, as with every other screw being accessible.
feel free to email us so it can be validated internally
100%, just wanted to verify that this isint expected tolerances before clogging up the system more.
Damn fomo getting to me rn
U think friction mounting is just good enough as gasket
Like in that psd60
Not even close 
How important is it to get key caps that show the rgb through?
Iām 95% sure that poker plate works with wooting
Unimportant, turn RGB off
Show off your caps, not your lights
Youāll have to make a custom plate if you do that
Speaking of which, Tenteuro
@harsh dove do you have any cap suggestions?
What are we speaking of
Caps that you like
Would this work for 60HE in the PSD60?
Yeah
But you think you could just use bigger screws?
With bigger heads
Like the PCB screws
Nah theyāre not in same place as 60he standoffs
But I think @wary pollen made a custom plate file for it iirc?
Thought it might work
Yeah nvm
Yeah it worked on frog as holes are in same place for 60he
Right okay
It was just plate file and standoff holes too big and didnāt know till after
Right
Yeah it works for me fine with the PCB screws luckily
But that sucks that doesnāt have the correct layout for the holes
Looks really close
I see now
sound cool, hopefully won't affect the gasket mounting
Itās not that close 
Basically missing 4 holes and the spacebar one is far right instead of off-center
@polar girder idk if you ordered already
Didnāt know switches were explosive
āMetal shrapnelā
yeah why
lol
i ordered wrong plate so i filed a ticket with them to switch but might just have to make custom
yo why is POM only stem i ever see?
ig because it slides better than most other plastics
None of those plates will work unfortunately
Need a custom
ah makes sense. but what if you just slather it in lube. then does it matter? 
Just confirmed it with Tenturo
so curious if @wary pollen does indeed have it
i'll need to get that ordered ASAP
I think he said he only has the nylon in a light grey tho
But yeah so Iām on my setup in the stock 60HE plastic case now
With the friction mount
Kind of like it NGL
It doesnāt move on this new mousepad
One of the big reasons I wanted the heavier weight of the redux
are there any cool cases with weights apart form redux?
there we go. jades in and man the sound and feel are wildly different. Loving it.
ikr
A lot
Absolutely feathery experience on the keypress feel. Very happy with how the software automatically knows to adjust based on the shorter overall travel distance.
oh I've seen that, learned about existense of freebird60 from there
I like the frog mini but it seems out of stock
Unless you like Silver
hmm maybe it'll look good with gmk black snail
Could do black PP plate
Thatād be nice
Yeah I think so
Rather keep it black
I donāt like the red of the raptors
š¤
I wish there were full black Jades
I want full black new switch
using fully see-through caps? lol
yup would be great
or at leaasttt bottom housing, so that it is not noticeable underneath keycaps
I want solid black nylon top and bottom
āRGB-lessā
With black Pom stem is fine
Whatever spring
Maybe some silicone at the bottom so it has reduced travel but still open bottom
Maybe even put some silicone in the led pass through
š„µ
nah just wish I could avoid seeing the switches there
lol yeah thatās why I need black opaque matte switch
šÆ

Yeah the stock plastic 60HE case stays put on my cloth pad but moved around on my hybrid pad
Thatās interesting
what kinda pad you got?
Saturn pro xxl
rather, what specific pad
is it kinda like razer strider? slidy, but still closer to a cloth pad?
Control cloth pad with minimal friction
Stay glued but smooth
Idk razer strider really
I would closest compare it to a soft artisan zero
Main
Lower Friction = Faster,Dynamic Friction,Static Friction,Surface Texture,Speed Key
Mousepad,Resistance when in motion,The force that keeps an object at rest,How the pad feels to the touch,Very Fast
Skypad 3.0,0.148,0.061,Very Smooth,Fast
Fnatic Jet,0.154,0.048,Very Smooth,Average
Vancer Ace...
it is also a hybrid, I guess they made it to be like artisan
Oh gotcha yeah my Venus was a hybrid
wow that's a good sheet, thanks
Yeah maybe more like a hyate otsu or something
Textured hybrid pads are sweet
Little faster
Looks like Iāll be getting some if not all of these tomorrow
Exciting
Just finished talking with some of the reps on the status of my packages , said they should be here tomorrow
are you cooking a custom looking switch? damm
Next switch I get Iāll probably pick up the l35 springs for them
Unless these dual stage springs are all the rage lol
Doubt
Wonder if they change acoustics of the spring
I like them cause they black and have a diff spring
Yeah what is that black switch
The black jade or the gugu blacks?
I ordered L100s with my module, want to see if this allows for more accurate typing experience while keeping the whole HE gaming benefits
Oh snap
Yeah all the open bottoms sound about the same tbh
Stem swapped raptors on top
Do I need to buy any additional components apart from the tofu60 redux case for it to be compatible?
No
Greetings, I have a question... When I assemble my keyboard, should I use the two gold nuts or just one in the case? š
anyone know if gateron.com is legit

I believe the left one on the pic is not used, but better check out video guide from wooting
I have seen several tutorials, however, some use both and others only one 
Middle one is not needed for Wooting60HE and spacebar one is optional
Overall, neither of them are needed
Sound is better without them imo
The less screws the better
That means I can use both and there is no problem? 
Technically yeah
When I tray mount, I personally only use 4 screws in total, 2 top right, 2 top left
I think I will do what the video indicates, thank you very much for answering my questions guys 
So it has more bouncy? 
Or just laziness
I will never know
Just not as stiff and less dead sound spots
Screws add dead sound spots
where it sounds different from the rest of the board
Super annoying to my ears
Ahh, I see. New knowledge
Yeah tbh, none of my boards are tray mounted
Me no likey
Unless you consider the Salvation a tray mount
but that's leaf springs
All ive had are tray mounted
, i never got into custom until getting here
80 he would be my first gasket
Though i wouldnt mind opening up my two he for fun 
4.1mm, smokey golden flaked top housing (that fits KS-20 bottom housings*) box stem that has single dual-rails (not sure how else to put it).
Sound as expected is similar to Raptors, a tad less noisy on top out to me.
is there any black housing closed bottom switch?
Black Jades but top housing is more green, stem too I believe.
damn it looks sick
sold out tho 
Not on AE but itās overpriced as shit
$1/switch
While Jades are $40/70 switches
can you send a link? can't seem to find em
Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! ā¬39,39 | Gateron Black Jade Switch 30g Double-Track Magnetic White Switch Magnetic Axis Mechanical Keyboard Switch Pc Gamer Accessories
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJchiV9
Oh, $90/70 switches****
LOL
thanks!
yeah the price is sick
itās ridiculous
Yeah unless you get em from backspace, everywhere else is upcharging
Those are white 20Us (can get them for like $40 too)
Sold out on backspace now
I assume these are some custom order from gateron, hopefully they will make more
though on AE it says 999pcs are left, so they probably have a ton
do boxed stems require specific bottom housings? thinking of a switch that has closed bottom and the boxed stem, not sure how good boxed stems feel tho
I doubt they have 999x70 and 999x90, they prob just put the max cause they know nobody buyin that š
no, box stems just extend the stem really
they just add a āboxā on top of the stem is what I mean by extending.
I see, and you said it sounds less loud when the switch returns back up?
For Black Knight switches in particular, not for box stems in general.
nice just wanted to ask for a link š
since I was only able to find them on kprepublic which doesnt ship to me
thanks
somehow I can't some of the stuff on AE, but I can order it
maybe has to do with my region
I think thereās another store selling them for a similar price. Iād only recommend them if you donāt have Raptors already though as theyāre quite similar.
Yeah, Iāve had that happen before.
I only have jades currently, I like them but I learned about so many different switches since I joined this discord
I'm limited to AE though, or have to order through middlemen to my country
This store sells them as well but at nearly double the price: https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExiZ7hh
in 2 days I will be able to get 110 black knights for ~37 bucks
You can find a lot on AE, itās pretty good.
Do you need 110?
nah just saying that this store sells them pretty cheap which is great
Oh I see
tempted to get 70 of black jades and black knights and build a boxed switch with closed buttom, but damn this is getting expensive for switches
Hmm, now you made me think of something
some other combination of switches?
Truly sorry for the absolute dogshit lighting. Using the box stems from the Black Knights doesnāt make much sense because they are more loose in Gateronās housings if that makes sense. This would work though, the black bottom of the Black Jades with the smokey gold flaked top housing of the Black Knights with Black Knights stems.
oh I was just thinking to use Black Knights top housing so that the end switch is completely black, but that useful to know!
switches are coming out so fast, i dont think its worth it to spend so much cash on them unless you want to do research or something
I have been very happy with the neo lavenders which were much cheaper than jades
just wait until one comes out with the features you want
that's a good point
im just afraid if, let's say gateron or wooting do a new switch
it probs wont have the black bottom housing like I want
im trying to avoid seeing switches completely under the keycaps
Yeah, the stem and top housing of the Black Knights and the bottom housing of the Black Jades. $90 for 70 bottom housings just for their color is quite something though.
or you meant to use only the top housing of the Black Knights and stem and bottom housing of the Black Jades?
that's why I currently have some of my non gmk keycap sets and cases on sale, to not feel as bad š
yeah something along these lines
I can always wait ofc, since I'm waiting for my 60he+ module and using 60he non plus atm
might also sell 60he non plus later as well
Well, the Gateron stem fits but really tightly in the Black Knights top housing. Youād have stem swapped Raptors really.
I would definitely not get the Black Jades for $90. You can get the Black Knights as theyāre pretty cheap and try them out.
yeah I thought of checking black knights on their own and also fit standard jades housing on them to see if I like the idea at all
Eh, the Black Knights top housing fits on KS-20/Jadesā bottom housings but not vise versa. š
sounds like the shaft is a bit different on black knights to the point where it can't align with ks-20 bottom
lol wtf are black knights
gugu black knights
https://sl.aliexpress.ru/p?key=NuVBsNl
I think these are the cheapest jades I've seen, and also a sale in 2 days
Hmm, not sure what you mean entirely.
Black Knights arenāt comparable to Jades on their own by the way. Black Knights have open bottoms similar to the Lekkers/KS-20s. Nvm!
yeah I know, basically which is why I would love to combine them with black jades housing if they get cheaper some time
Yeah
Jade Knights Im hearing?
Yes
Are you trying to get me to buy GuGus to make a frankenswitch with Black Jades
jade knights... it sounds like something from dark souls
Black Jade Knights to be precise
So GuGu top and stem with Black Jade bottom?
yeah try this out for usš
Yes
I'll try it out
since you got black jades
I wasn't gonna buy GuGus but fuck it
This is it but with the regular Jades.
Gotcha
Theyāre dirt cheap
Makes it easier
and more interesting than the Raptors honestly
š
Kind of keen to try out the friction mount thing wooting has cooking
My burger mount is scuffed
same
is this for 80HE?
60he
Oh is the new optimum collab utilizing a friction fit silicone plate pad?
Similar to 461E?
Worth the risk? Itās like $125usd when converted
Idk Iām guessing. Idk what theyāre talking about
Its in the stream around 56:30 https://www.youtube.com/live/NGvS4DgugI8

the website seems to be legit, there are even group buys and stuff
whats o-ring needed for tofu60 case?
Id never can get that āmountingā thing from wooting in my country
I thought so too. Just wanted to get some other eyes on it. They are in Singapore but the price is like $55 lower than deskhero
Ilumkb is legit
Ty @uneven cradle
Main difference being that the 461E has cutouts for the silicone gasket, Optimum60HE does not
It's one of the logos on the gmk packaging
Available for the optimum case and hopefully at the same time have it as accessory
Oh damn it does?
I didnāt notice that
I'll show it
They said it should fit the tofu60, optimum and the alumaze cases
Yeah
Yeah so itās more universal
Top left and right corner
small holes for gasket
Kinda sweet
Yeah I also still want to try that case
Iāll wait until yours shows up tho lolz
the weights look sick
Yeah
Doesnāt the gasket affect the consistency of the rapid trigger? Flex is not very good in a magnetic keyboard
No
Then why do you need a gasket? Im new in this
Gives a better overall typing feel and sound
and a more consistent sound across the board
you think it'll fit freebird60?
Ilumkb has a sale coming up actually might have to š
Got it, thank you. Itās very sad, because the preorder comes out of my country very expensive. I hope this case will appear in stock
Which case are you referring too? The new Optimum Case?
No, E461
Must save money for upcoming GB @harsh dove 
Which one lol
Hold up
Calder said something about Silicone Sockets on the bottom of the Optimum Case
the neverending loophole of mechanical keyboards
Is gummy o-ring mount works with screw in stabilizers?
So there's silicone sockets that go over the standoffs so the pcb doesn't hit the standoffs , also makes burger mount easier/better
Thereās a feeling that I shouldnāt order tofu60 now
Yes but you have to get S-size O-rings
or replace the backspace and spacebar stabs with clip ins
then you can use M-size
Probably also available on AliExpress in the future
Is it worth it?
I think friction mount is worth it, yeah
Itās pretty neat. I prefer it to tray mount
It can be a little finicky tho
Tray mount just works
Yeah Bigsly has a stubborn backspace
Friction mount mostly works lol
Lol yeah
I would agree but then I also see people have issues when installing for tray mount lol
Whoops!
I asked them now, Iāll be waiting for an answer. If they say itās not soon, Iāll order tofu, and then Iāll change it to 461E when its will be in stock :)

like forgetting to install the brass standoffs and then trying to insert a screw and wondering why its not working
that's about it really
461E pre-orders wonāt even ship until August or September prob
So AliExpress wonāt have it until after that happens at least
Oh, long time to wait
Yeah itās not out yet
Nah man I'm gettin mine in July /s
Yeah schedules don't always line up sadly
But I ended up getting my tofu redux off AliExpress before some people that preordered it last year
Hahah nice 
Whats od do i need?
What šµāš«
1.They are circular in shape, round in cross-section. For use across a wide temperature range from -4ā (-20°C) to 212ā (100°C). 2.Nitrile has good mechanical properties when compared with other elastomers and high wear resistance. Good resistance to many petroleum oils, greases, hydraulic fluids...
I think this size works
yeah I was thinking something like tadpole mount when he said that
Yeah caught me off guard at first
but it's just silicone sockets that go over the standoffs
Pretty neat
Well the first being the Rubrehose Jane V3 and that's going to be the most expensive one 
I had something like this already from KDB or KRepublic, can't remember but they were thin and could rip easily if overtightened
ah yeah
not sure when the IV Works Umbra is coming out doesn't look like it'll be too soon
Sounds like the Optimum case ones will be thicker
Don't know that I've looked at that one yet
I think you showed me but lemme see it again
Thank you, 180-190mm and 5mm thickness
most of the pics on here
usb port centered š¦
but looks pretty cool
yeah unfortunate but I dig the aesthetic
yeah it was initially going to be called Eclipse because it's Berserk inspired
damnn now its even more sad that its not woot compatible
why are the side bezels so chonky, tell me whyy 
If i have tx ap screw in stabs, it will works too?
Your mileage may vary, I've had no issues with TX AP ( I own all variants ), but some people have had issues with them binding up and not returning because they're too tight in the plate
Screw ins with the O-Ring not so much. You should get plate mounted stabs if anything.
or a softer O-Ring with screws ins is fine too
and lastly, a thickness of 5mm is too thick I believe. I have a 3.5 and 4mm and the 4mm doesnāt really fit.
Anyone have experience with Mt3 profile keycaps from Drop?
