[harsh dove]

Just wanted an aesthetic upgrade

[uneven cradle]

Didn't they all give recommendations at different price points

[polar girder]

Yeah mines chill and could push an 800s fine probably but would probably upgrade for 800s lol

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[marsh saffron]

I want to get a nice audio interface but it's kinda pointless because I just use truthear zeros...

[harsh dove]

It’s not recommendations tho

It’s what they actually use

However you wanna look at it tho

[marsh saffron]

Want to get a pair of dt990 pros eventually though

[uneven cradle]

Yeah well most of those guys are very far down the rabbit hole

[harsh dove]

Yeah very much

[polar girder]

IEM best budget

[harsh dove]

That’s why I’m saying no one needs $1600 headphones

[polar girder]

P38x best headset value

[marsh saffron]

Whenever I pickup some nice headphones they'd only be for music/general listening

Truthear zeros are too op in fps games

[uneven cradle]

Zeros are good there are better options at higher prices though

[polar girder]

I’m completely content with my 560s and ifi zen v2 DAC/amp combo for now

Gaming I feel like I can hear everything with good directionality

All set

[marsh saffron]

I'm perfectly happy with my zeros + fiio ek10

[polar girder]

Until I’m rich lol

[quiet bay]

damn bruh

[marsh saffron]

But would like a nice pair of headphones for music eventually

[quiet bay]

I just got discounted HyperX headphones

😂

bought them at 50% off

[uneven cradle]

I'm still rocking my em6ls which were $110

[marsh saffron]

Paid 75 cad for my zeros and couldn't be happier with them

[sweet oak]

As long as bass isnt muddy im satisfied

My hearing damag already gives me messy bass, i dont need any more of it

[harsh dove]

When I first got into it, I got Beyerdynamics DT990s thinking they were good cause that’s kinda what a lot of people were saying at the time , now I know better lol

[mellow leaf]

hi

[harsh dove]

They were fairly cheap so not too offended by them

Like $120 I think

[uneven cradle]

One of those things you don't know what is better until you experience it yourself

[sweet oak]

My pc38x was pretty substantial in terms of clarity from the usual headphones I always had

Pretty clear even with my hearing dmg

[harsh dove]

Literally

That’s what I tell my friends about high fps high refresh rate

You just don’t know until you experience it yourself

[sweet oak]

Oled

[harsh dove]

That too

[marsh saffron]

I remember my friend telling me 60hz->144 can't be that much better

[sweet oak]

[harsh dove]

I believe it

[uneven cradle]

Even going back to my friend playing on his 480p TV telling me there's not much difference between that and 1080p

[sweet oak]

Eyes need to be cleaned

[cold bloom]

I upgraded from my zeros to the raptgo hook-x, and I've been in love with them for a few years now. I don't know what else I'd upgrade to from these honestly, maybe something like the yanyin canon ii but I think it's marginable differences, and can get expensive beyond the 250$ish pairs really fast lmao

[harsh dove]

Comfort is most important

[cold bloom]

I like how the hook-x is an open back IEM so the pressure doesn't build up as bad, it's still not like open back headphones but I can hear my surroundings when not gaming a bit better and don't feel that ear pressure as much

I had some shoulder issues so wearing headsets for long sessions just wasn't working anymore

[harsh dove]

@fluid ravine you been enjoying your Truthear Crinacle Reds?

[sweet oak]

only thing i could probably want audio wise is an interface now

[marsh saffron]

I want one but it'd be kinda pointless with my zero reds

[harsh dove]

Well not pointless if you want things like volume knob

[sweet oak]

[marsh saffron]

Already can do that part with my fiio dac

[cold bloom]

I use an audient evo4 with my IEMs

[sweet oak]

i like how so many iems have anime girl boxes lmao

[cold bloom]

nothing fancy just useful af

[marsh saffron]

Yeah I don't get it...

[harsh dove]

Oh then you good

[sweet oak]

its so funny

[marsh saffron]

Thankfully they keep the anime to the box and not the iems

[harsh dove]

Unless there something else you want from an interface

[fluid ravine]

Yep

Love em

[harsh dove]

Or just an audio mixer

[sweet oak]

i could imagine how bad itd look on the IEM themselves

[marsh saffron]

Tbh they just look nice and I depending on which I get I can plug headphones + mic + iems into one interface

[marsh saffron]

Resin cured anime character

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s how I have mine

Everything into one interface

[uneven cradle]

My iem package wasn't cringe 👌

[marsh saffron]

Other than that me owning one would be pointless but I might get one eventually

[harsh dove]

Then I have a separate audio mixer

[marsh saffron]

Mine was

[harsh dove]

But nothing needs to be plugged into that

[marsh saffron]

[sweet oak]

actual good package

i like it

[uneven cradle]

Yeah simgot been pretty impressive nice packaging and iems

[cold bloom]

Mine didn’t either

[harsh dove]

Simgot is good

[cold bloom]

But I have the zero box somewhere lmao

idk if you guys know freshreviews, he's got a lot of good youtube videos about IEMs mostly gaming focused reviews

[uneven cradle]

A lot of crossover between weebs and chifi enthusiasts

[fluid ravine]

IT LOOKS SO GUDDDD

[cold bloom]

and a good tier list for high/mid end and budget buys

he has a collab IEM coming out soon actually that looks dope

[quiet bay]

Is there a difference between the red and blue one? Or is it just color

[cold bloom]

https://www.linsoul.com/products/ziigaat-x-fresh-review-arete

[sweet oak]

ooh

pretty

[cold bloom]

slight tuning difference, and the reds come with an adapter to boost the bass

but very similar

[quiet bay]

oo okay

maybe one day I'll try out iems

[marsh saffron]

I thought I'd be uncomfortable with iems as regular earbuds bother me a lot, but my zero reds are almost more comfortable for me than my hd599s

[cold bloom]

some people don't love having something in their ear for a while, but once you get used to it it's night and day comfort wise for me

esp if you get some eartips that fit, stock ones don't always fit everyone but I find the truthear ones are solid

[marsh saffron]

Yeah it hurt after having them in for a bit before I used the right sized ear tips

[cold bloom]

yeah exactly

[marsh saffron]

Once I found the right size they felt amazing though

Can wear them 10+h a day and still feel fine with them

[cold bloom]

same

the eartips my raptgos came with are similar to spinfit eartips, so they kind of move once they're seated in your eardrum

I like them

[sweet oak]

my hearing aids prepared me for this

[cold bloom]

LOL real

[sweet oak]

miss my ear canal molded ones ngl

but current ones are much better audio wise

[cold bloom]

I'll probably do that eventually

once I finish residency lmao

[sweet oak]

theyre soo comfy when you get them molded

[harsh dove]

Just tuning

[uneven cradle]

You can get custom molded eartips they just dummy expensive

[sweet oak]

can confirm

feels werid when they put the putty in your ear first time

[uneven cradle]

I just spent like $100 finding the best ones, but the best ones can change depending on the iem

I have divinus velvets which are pretty premium eartips but prefer my dunu S&S for my em6ls

[thorn zealot]

Say that in any audiophile server and ur getting ripped up

[marsh saffron]

I thought they were good didn't know they werent🤷

[uneven cradle]

It's sometimes good to be ignorant as to what's better, certainly helps the wallet

[thorn zealot]

I mean if u don’t care about audio quality that much than sure

But their graph is

[fluid ravine]

I made it guys

A dream has came true

[thorn zealot]

Alr??

[polar girder]

That’s sick bro

Happy for you

You beast.

[fluid ravine]

guess what

kinda weird but i think you will like my board how it is rn after installing the gmks

(they feeel and sound like silents)

I think you need this

After installing idk why, but my alphas feel and sound like Silent Cherry MX reds but really smooth

[quiet bay]

ooh looks so much better now

[quiet bay]

the feeling of brand new keycaps

[fluid ravine]

yup

yeah ima need them new switches

finally rocking the no rgb gang

yurrrr

[cold bloom]

They’re not horrible, there just are better options for the same or lesser price generally. The dt 900 pro x is generally recommended over them, the dt 990s have the classic Beyer bump so there’s a random rise in the midsection, but they’re still better than most “gaming” headsets

[cold bloom]

The dt 900 pro x is more expensive tho, I’d say the hd560s probably are a better buy overall tho for cheaper

The new Sennheiser hd490 pro is getting really good reviews too

[thorn zealot]

Honestly ur zero reds are better than those 990s

[marsh saffron]

Just another W for the zeros

[fluid ravine]

Anime myself

I love em, they fit nice, i can wear these all day (have been)

[marsh saffron]

Bro got the anime mullet

[fluid ravine]

lel

[marsh saffron]

Same

Literally so comfortable even after 10+h wearing them

[fluid ravine]

literallyyyyy

[polar girder]

Yeah bro

Your switch tape mod is OP

[fluid ravine]

i could say i dont notice them some time, but i do be doing quite alot of moving around so i do notice them

[fluid ravine]

mhm

i should do a sound test for you

[quiet bay]

wait those look really snug

I kinda want them now

[marsh saffron]

Yeah they fit very nice

[fluid ravine]

hehehe

[quiet bay]

Dude if Iphones had headphone jacks again

I would rock those

[fluid ravine]

LITERALLY

i brung them to school once

and i forgot my phone doesnt have a ajck

[marsh saffron]

I use them for bike rides with apples dongle

[uneven cradle]

Zeros are big boys, I don't find them as comfortable as other iems

[quiet bay]

I honestly just wish Apple brought back their headphone jacks ;-;

[marsh saffron]

Phones in general should bring it back

[quiet bay]

Yeah

[marsh saffron]

(I don't use iPhones)

[cedar gate]

In tofu 60 redux case should you use the middle screw

[quiet bay]

Im not trying to charge my headphones lmao

[cedar gate]

I heard some ppl do and some don't pros and cons?

[marsh saffron]

For the brass weight?

[cedar gate]

Y

[marsh saffron]

I would

[cedar gate]

But why does it make it better?

[marsh saffron]

Idk it just feels wrong to not screw in the loose piece

[harsh dove]

As an owner of DT990s from years back, do not get them

[marsh saffron]

Will do, going to look elsewhere when I'm in the market for some new headphones

[harsh dove]

DT770 Pros are good

[cedar gate]

Well if you say so

[harsh dove]

Depends on a lot of things tho

If you want open back , closed back, IEMs etc

[marsh saffron]

For headphones id want open back

[harsh dove]

IEMs are in a really good place rn and have a lot of really good audio quality budget options

[marsh saffron]

My hd599s definitely made me enjoy open backs for headphones

Iems wise I'll probably stick with my zeros tbh

[uneven cradle]

Was thinking about getting a Sony phone for the headphone jack and camera, but not sure I want the downsides of being not on samsung

[marsh saffron]

I've got a pixel 6

[sweet oak]

good product promotion id say

[marsh saffron]

Cameras pretty decent but mostly from AI stuff

[harsh dove]

HD 490 Pros or 560s are good open backs

[marsh saffron]

It can get funky sometimes and make photos look unrealistic as hell though

I took a picture of a waterfall and it looks straight up AI generated

Let me find it

These were just taken on my phone but it's AI camera shit went wild

[harsh dove]

Very nice

I feel the same way of a photo of some lions I took

[marsh saffron]

Gonna be going back there sometime in July

[quiet bay]

interesting

[sweet oak]

looks like a wasp

[marsh saffron]

The kid walking up?

[quiet bay]

yea

[quiet bay]

damn wth that looks so cinematic

[polar girder]

https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Lightning-Headphone-Jack-Adapter/dp/B01LXJFMGF

[harsh dove]

Ikr lol

It was at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado

Taken with muh iPhone 14 Pro

[quiet bay]

I guess I could probably use this

since I sitll have an iphone x

[marsh saffron]

Ai made phone cameras absolutely crazy good

[quiet bay]

and lightning cable

[fluid ravine]

me with my samsung lel

[marsh saffron]

Id love an s24 ultra for the camera but IDC to upgrade my phone

My pixel 6 is more than enough

[uneven cradle]

They don't sell em in NZ

[fluid ravine]

Hmm do i need black pc plate?

[marsh saffron]

Yes

Looks so much better than white plate

[fluid ravine]

sure

ima try to get one after getting a new set of switches

[uneven cradle]

Get you a translucent PC plate

[fluid ravine]

o yeaaa

[polar girder]

Yes

But I might get a different plate if I use a diff case and you could just have mine

[thorn zealot]

who wants a discount on backspace

[fluid ravine]

?

you have a black?

[cedar gate]

Woah were you up close with those

[harsh dove]

Yeah just like 10-15 ft away maybe

[floral moat]

or similar

[polar girder]

Yes

And white

White came with module. I bought black later when it came out

I’m trying to give white away with 60HE/redux bundle tho

[fluid ravine]

🙏 🥹

[untold wigeon]

@harsh dove were you amplifying the 990s?

[undone vortex]

is there a noticeable difference between the tofu 60 redux and the wooting alumaze60?

its just that the alumaze costs twice as much and ive heard a lot of good things about the tofu

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[untold wigeon]

That’s weird then. I have a pair with a good amplifier and mine sound fantastic. Some of the best cans I’ve used. Way better than my SteelSeries arctis nova pros

[harsh dove]

It doesn’t cost twice as much after shipping and if you get the brass weight it’s about the same price

[harsh dove]

Just a personal preference thing really, the audiophile discords hate them tho lol

[rare kraken]

Is tape modding the space bar ruin the actuation

[harsh dove]

If you don’t have a problem with them then don’t look for one lol

[harsh dove]

No

[untold wigeon]

Discord people hating things? Who’s ever heard of such a thing. lol

[rare kraken]

Ok good bc the space bar is very loud but the rest of the keyboard sounds better than my modded rk61

[harsh dove]

lol they mainly just say that they have a high treble and weird peaks

[undone vortex]

oh okay

[harsh dove]

And complain that they’re marketed as studio headphones and they aren’t

[thorn zealot]

they also say it has muddy bass

[untold wigeon]

They definitely aren’t studio quality.

[harsh dove]

I can agree to that personally

All our ears are different, it’s the same thing with keyboards, a lot of it is personal preference, and a lot of it is diminishing returns

Especially with the current market

[thorn zealot]

i just opened a switch and lost the spring

[harsh dove]

Gg

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/keyboard-hyperx-rgb-hyperx-family-hyperx-gaming-gif-17743649

[thorn zealot]

i took a switch from my sisters kb and took its spring dw

[polar girder]

Ok I’ll stop worrying. Thanks for update

[thorn zealot]

thank u for not worrying about my sprind anymore

[polar girder]

My pleasure.

[median spade]

tofu with weight much better

unles you love the look of the alumaze of course

[sweet oak]

My horror.

[uneven cradle]

That's the thing you gotta compare them to other audiophile headphones

You can't compare when you have no reference for what "good" is

[cold bloom]

I really wanna get these keycaps soon, dmk obisidian wob

[untold wigeon]

Do you realize how much real audiophile headphones cost?

[untold wigeon]

I do. I was saying they are good for what they are. Not amazing, not the best. Good.

[uneven cradle]

Yeah and they're better options for the same price you just haven't tried them 🤷

[untold wigeon]

Ok. And. All I said is they were good.

Ok then @uneven cradle what do you recommend ?

[uneven cradle]

HD599s, HD560s, HD58X, HD6XX, TYGR 300R, AKG K702, if you were open to iems the simgot supermix 4s

[untold wigeon]

I’m curious about iems but comfort seems to be a constant issue from what I’ve read.

[harsh dove]

Kailh Mistrals Left (Blue)
Black Jades Right (Red)

Mistrals are a no go

[uneven cradle]

I thought the same but managed to find some comfy eartips eventually

[harsh dove]

@stray tiger

[sweet oak]

experimenting is all part of the fun

[untold wigeon]

I have funky shaped ear holes.

[uneven cradle]

How they feeling though

[harsh dove]

Meh

They feel fine

Don’t sound good

[polar girder]

Nice thanks for that Cam

Yeah gareron HE seems pretty consistent

Need a HE oil king now

Maybe I should shout that in gateron discord

[median spade]

They’ll tell you they don’t want to pay for molds or something

[brazen sparrow]

Dual rail jades may be smoother

[polar girder]

What mold could they need lol

Bruh

Enough with the jades

[brazen sparrow]

(Jademaxxing)

[polar girder]

Jadeglazing

[brazen sparrow]

😭

[harsh dove]

I’m not really too piqued about dual rail jades but I’ll try em probs

[polar girder]

Right

[brazen sparrow]

I’m ready for new stuff…

[harsh dove]

I feel like we just need to see diff materials used

Enough with the RGB gamer crap

[brazen sparrow]

Are the Ks-20U still good compared to other switches right now?

[harsh dove]

Yeah I like em

I don’t use em but I like em

Basically just a more stable lekker

Sounds the same

[polar girder]

Yeah opaque nylon top and bottom housing

[brazen sparrow]

If the v2’s are more or just as stable they not be as good of a value

[polar girder]

I want someone to try non-POM stem but maybe that’s not the move idk

[brazen sparrow]

Curious to see how the v2’s turn out cause of that

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/unicorn-vomit-puking-rainbows-gif-11266895

Cams dream keeb

[sweet oak]

?

[median spade]

Give me cherry HE

Or hmx

[cedar gate]

Yes the alumaze to me sounds hollow and metallic and the tofu to me sounds fuller and more poppy. I also prefer the simplistic look of the tofu rather than almost busy looking alumaze

[untold wigeon]

Anyone ever try a resin case? I know they exist but I never see anyone use them

[cedar gate]

There's no resin case for the he but there is a frosted polycarbonate case from kdbfans

It sounds the exact same as a tofu60 redux but maybe a bit more poppy

[untold wigeon]

Won’t any 60% case work as long as the usb port lines up?

[cedar gate]

Some may but i would suggest using one designed for wooting

Tofu60 redux and alumaze are common choices

[loud zephyr]

this dude has #1123846803859709983 message

[untold wigeon]

Has what? Says unknown

[harsh dove]

Click on it

[cedar gate]

Woah is that real I had no idea there were resin cases for 60he

[untold wigeon]

Oh nice. The mojo60 is one of the ones I’ve heard of

[cedar gate]

Prolly super rare tho

[harsh dove]

Yeah Melgeek known for doing some differnt stuff with cases

[cedar gate]

If you don't mind me asking tho why don't you want a normal metal or plastic case

[loud zephyr]

there's also the Hibi June which is made out of silicone, and you can bend it like the shape of a banana #1149670739860000851 message

[cedar gate]

That's kinda cool but tbh why virtually everything is inferior to a good metal or plastic case

[harsh dove]

Forgot Melgeek made these

[loud zephyr]

yeah, I think I'd only ever try those materials(resign etc) if the cases were dirt cheap

[harsh dove]

24k Gold Plated and Chrome Plated cases

[cedar gate]

That sounds kinda cool

[harsh dove]

$500

[cedar gate]

Impractical but cool

[cedar gate]

Impractical and a waste but cool

[dapper kernel]

Are black jades better than normal jades?

[harsh dove]

Yeah at that price Id just get an entirely better keyboard

[cedar gate]

Even if it was 150 I would honestly still just get an aluminum

[quiet bay]

Fingerprint magnet 👀

[cedar gate]

Just like a Rolex a little too flashy

[uneven cradle]

Highest I'd go is frog mini

[loud zephyr]

Geon certified 60% hater. Frog mini is dead and F2-60 in limbo

[polar girder]

Yeah bro

The heck

Big sad 😢

[stray tiger]

Thank you sir.

[median spade]

How they sound at least

That’s awful performance of course but yeah

[harsh dove]

I'll say they don't sound terrible but not a fan

like clacky lekkers

tolerances were solid tho

They're open bottom so I feel like they don't have that fullness sound to them

[undone vortex]

do keycaps make a difference for the sound? im new to all of this 😭

[untold wigeon]

Yes they do. It all depends what they are made of

[undone vortex]

oh alright

i really just want some nice sounding purple ones

[untold wigeon]

@harsh dove have you ever tried Awekeys?

[untold wigeon]

You’re better off finding a material that you like the sound of and then finding keycaps made of that material that come in purple.

[undone vortex]

the stock wooting ones are double shot pbt right?

[tawdry tree]

This is after calibration on the latest firmware?

#🔧│keyboard_modding message our Flames are similar but the mistrals are not. 0.5mm difference, between yours and mine which is insane, worse than the difference between Raptors.

[untold wigeon]

Yes

[harsh dove]

Nah

[harsh dove]

Yeah I noticed

and yeah latest firmware

[polar girder]

https://www.newegg.com/beyerdynamic-483664/p/0TH-00JD-001T7

For people talking about headphones earlier

Not the best but that’s a good deal

[harsh dove]

That's super solid

[tawdry tree]

Terrible tolerances then. 😕

[harsh dove]

I was referring to stem tolerance but yeah lol

[tawdry tree]

No I mean magnet tolerances.

0.5mm difference is a lot.

[harsh dove]

I know

[gleaming ledge]

Hey I'm looking for ISO FR PBT keycaps, may someone help me with those? Just normal black ones, if possible which let the light go through the letters

[harsh dove]

Im saying earlier when I said tolerances were good, I was referring to the stem/housing tolerance

[tawdry tree]

Yeah those are good

Especially when bottoming out

[harsh dove]

Yeah

Wish the magnets were good

[tawdry tree]

If they fix the tolerances it’ll be fine.

Firmware can save us!

[cedar gate]

What do you all think is the best sounding HE switch

I like jades/dashes the most

Too bad they can't thock

[tawdry tree]

Whatever magic the second one is.

[marsh saffron]

Haven't heard anything but lekkers in person but I love how lavenders sound

[marsh saffron]

That second one sounds amazing

[brazen sparrow]

Wow

Is the second a HE switch??

[cedar gate]

Lekker v2?

[tawdry tree]

Best sounding combination I’ve heard so far for HE switches.

[tawdry tree]

Yeah.

[tawdry tree]

Nope, not entirely sure.

[marsh saffron]

Lekkers v2 probably won't such much different at all

Less rattly maybe

[cedar gate]

Huh I heard v2 is the quietest he switch

[brazen sparrow]

Where did you find that video?

That switch is amazing

[cedar gate]

Lavenders kinda don't sound as good as jades to me

[marsh saffron]

I prefer them over jades

[tawdry tree]

I think it was misinterpreted and meant to be more quiet than, rather than the quietest.

He didn’t want to share, then sort of shared that it was Kailh with Zero Degree top housing but I’m not sure.

Just cuz they heard it somewhere lol

Crazy

[thorn zealot]

I heard that 770s are actually not that bad

Unlike 990s

[polar girder]

Yeah solid

[median spade]

990s are ear piercer 9000s

[harsh dove]

Yeah 770s are good

[harsh dove]

Just an 8k Treble Peak, no biggie

[brazen sparrow]

Saw a review saying the maxwells from audzee are the new standard for wireless headphones

[polar girder]

Yeah I would say those are probably the best

It’s a fairly proper gaming headset and music listening headphones

[harsh dove]

Yeah I'd say they err more on the side of music but they are definitely good

[analog prawn]

hello, just wondering if that list from back in May had a new up to date version for compatible switches

if not just wanting to put in here that i tested the Kalih Sakura pink and does not work

[cedar gate]

Should be up to date thockfather updates it all the time if needed

[analog prawn]

ah okay thank you!

got my hands on the kalih sakura pink and tried to see if it would work, but yeah didn't work on mine

i think its bc the foam is just to adjust the sound acoustic to how you like, not like "dampen dampen"

Im using polyfill and the silicone pad in mine

only thing i got in there

[quiet bay]

Depends what foam I’d say

[fluid ravine]

Stabs got a few issues, working on it

[quiet bay]

I used kilmat as the case foam once with the moleskin tape

It was very muted

I didnt like it

[fluid ravine]

actually everything got issues in my board, im trying to figure it out, i might take everything apart and rebuild it from scratch

might as well also test out the 3 configs with the pads

[quiet bay]

Funny cause I’ve been using my keyboard while missing my enter key stabs for a whole year

Too lazy to tune the stock wooting stabs 😢

[fluid ravine]

lel

using my gmmk rn

gpbt carrying this board

[polar girder]

They feel good too?

[fluid ravine]

nah

what you expect

tray/top mount? wtv is it

idk what kind of mount these boards be calling

but im using it cus of the akko switches,

[polar girder]

Yo maybe I keep redux then get that new silicone pad mount and have you switch tape my switches?

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

what switches 👀

[polar girder]

Whatever new ones I get prob

Down the line

Prob not these stem swapped raptors

[quiet bay]

Im ngl I dont want to do switch tape mod ever again after redoing it like 3 times 😂

[polar girder]

It would be sweet to make them quieter but idk if it would work

The tolerances for stem already pretty minimal. Idk maybe sweet

I could try it I guess lol

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[calm pulsar]

damn I did it once to make me not do it ever again lol

[quiet bay]

I think it was worth it..coming from a teenager with too much free time on their hands

The switches feel pretty normal after you break the switch tape mod in

[calm pulsar]

i'll just wait to check the new jades, perhaps they don't need it at all

[quiet bay]

Will upgrade switches in the very far far far future

[fluid ravine]

need them now....

:(

[quiet bay]

I dont think they need stm

But you could try one layer and see how different it sounds

[calm pulsar]

they arent out yet

im talking about the dual rail ones

[quiet bay]

Oh wth they got dual rails now

[calm pulsar]

yeah they will be called Jades Mini N

there are Mini E already, but not compatible with woot

[quiet bay]

Since the dual rails are basically meant to remove most of the wobble

Then yeah you will not need stm lol

Would be just an optional thing

[uneven cradle]

Time to lube my work keyboard

I got these silent wuque tactile switches but man they feel like trash, I ain't sure if lubing can save them

[calm pulsar]

deep fry them in lube

[fluid ravine]

or marinate them

[uneven cradle]

There was a thread on r/mecahnicalkeyboards a while back saying what your most disappointing thing you've owned in the hobby were and they were near the top

[patent cliff]

Can you guys help me with my stuff is not letting me conet my keyboard and is saying that there is no device found

??

[marsh saffron]

do you use firefox

if so thats why

[dire thicket]

Can someone explain to me why o'ring make the keyboard laggy? Like deactivating the switch, or just some weird bugs, like on-off-on-off really quickly the switch?

[calm pulsar]

oring where exactly?

[dire thicket]

Like, on the keycaps

[calm pulsar]

maybe it reduces the travel distance and the switch doesnt bottom out properly

[dire thicket]

But that's the point of this keyboard, no need to bottom out

I just don't understand why it makes it unusable

https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/comments/15r6amu/wooting_o_ring_mod/
I'm not the only one who has the problem

[calm pulsar]

tbh I don't see a point in putting orings on keycaps 😄
but not sure exactly why it messes it up

the keyboard still measures the distance to the magnet in relation to when it bottoms out

so it might mess with that

[dire thicket]

For the sound and the feedback while typing

[dire thicket]

I think it's more like a compatibility with rapid trigger

Like, "bouncing" and rapid trigger detect this "bouce" as a release of the key

Maybe

[calm pulsar]

could be that, especially if you set rapid trigger to the lowest sensitivity

[dire thicket]

I did, for performances

But to fix that, i need to set it at the same size at the oring

Like 2mm oring? 2mm rapid trigger

Anyway, i should just look at stuff that reproduce oring without being oring

[calm pulsar]

what kind of keycaps you've got?

you might go for thick pbt keycaps, they usually are deeper sounding

[dire thicket]

Basic PBT keycpas

But i would go for some Keychron keycaps i think, soft feeling with them

[cloud echo]

@knotty iron I hope this channel is the right one to post this in. Thanks again for the tipp!

[cedar gate]

It isn't but that build is clean

[cedar gate]

I wouldn't do it anyways it will make your keyboard mushy

[dire thicket]

Nah not really, i tried, it was a soft touch sensation, i loved it, but as i said, that's make the keyboard laggy

[cedar gate]

Wooting relies on very small distances for analog and actuation so maybe

[calm pulsar]

to me orings kill the tactile feedback of the switch, so its not worth making your wooting unusable over this

better just add extra lube to the switches and/or change the plate to a softer one to make it quieter overall

[uneven cradle]

can confirm fastest way to ruin the typing feel of a keyboard and make it all mushy

[dire thicket]

Nah it depends of the oring, the texture, the size, etc

Lot's of parameters

[untold wigeon]

Finally ordered some jade switches and new keycaps. I tried tape moddding but it seems 3 layers is a lot of stress on the usb-c port

[jade storm]

@fluid ravine These are for you. You can do anything you want to do in this life bro

[sweet oak]

Death note

[mellow leaf]

guys help me.. this is what i did to my lekker switch (ik its a sticker)

[mellow leaf]

omg is that a deathadder v3 pro modified?

[fluid ravine]

More!!

[mellow leaf]

oh no

[sweet oak]

Edible

[fluid ravine]

its a pulsar 😭

[fluid ravine]

Oh my days the camera work, i swear

[sweet oak]

Cant wait for my new webcam to come in Wednesday

[mellow leaf]

thats why the bottom was eaten up by pulsar, but what pulsar is that? the xheavy?

[sweet oak]

Its gonna be 80he ready

[fluid ravine]

He bought it during father day

[mellow leaf]

guess i was correct, it was the xheavy!

https://tenor.com/view/dead-chat-dead-chat-skeleton-gif-25954239

[fluid ravine]

lol

Just doing homework dont mind me lol

[mellow leaf]

sus...

[sweet oak]

Neo lavenders

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

(i need them so bad right now)

[unique jetty]

Anyone know any good translucent black keycaps?

[fluid ravine]

You want like Polycarbonate Black Keycaps?

Like something like this for example?

[unique jetty]

Yeah like something similar to the 80he ghost

[fluid ravine]

Ah, honestly only ones i know of is from Akko

[unique jetty]

I think I’ve seen the akkos they look a little glossy I ideally want something a little more matte to the touch

[fluid ravine]

https://www.keychron.com/products/black-transparent-osa-full-set-keycap-set or this

[fluid ravine]

yeah its bc they're made out of polycarbonate

[fluid ravine]

This is made of ABS transparent material

$25

¯_(ツ)_/¯

But it's OSA, idk if you want that or not

[unique jetty]

OSA is taller right?

[fluid ravine]

tbh im not sure looking it up rn

oh its similar to OEM

[unique jetty]

Oh i see OSA is just more rounded where as Oem is rigid in edges

[fluid ravine]

yea

[unique jetty]

That wouldn’t be too bad but I’m after transparent black blanks Akko and what you sent are probably my only options

[fluid ravine]

mmm

[unique jetty]

What set is the first picture you sent? The blanks

[fluid ravine]

No clue, just looked at Google lol

[unique jetty]

Ok, I’ll prob just look up some stuff as well, what are some reputable brands/sites I know nothing about caps

[fluid ravine]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/ This is a vendor list for what region you're at

[unique jetty]

Ok

Ty

[fluid ravine]

Yup Np

[flat vine]

I change my keycaps to pbt, simple, I like it mauve a aluminium case for better look

[polar girder]

Got a lead on a frog

But I did post I would buy for $300

[fluid ravine]

DAMN

[urban harbor]

quick question, how much optimum tech do you watch

[mellow leaf]

then whats dcx profile?

[fluid ravine]

it's similar to Cherry

[mellow leaf]

oh ok

[fluid ravine]

DCX is a competitor to GMK

[mellow leaf]

whats gmk?

[fluid ravine]

;-;

GMK is like the premium brand of keycaps

It's what you would see everywhere when it comes to expensive keycaps

they're double shot ABS keycaps, what makes them special is the high quality material and colors they provide

[mellow leaf]

thats why it costs half the price of an wooting 60he?

[fluid ravine]

DCX is from drop, and from what others experience, DCX is really close to GMK and they sound just about 95% of it and a are a bit heavier

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[mellow leaf]

id rather go for dye sub pbt

[fluid ravine]

yeah its all preference and budget

[mellow leaf]

but how does that work unlike doubleshot?

[fluid ravine]

which one?

dyesub?

[mellow leaf]

yes.

[fluid ravine]

Well i dont have a lot of knowledge into keycaps but dye sub is when legends are printed through heat and dye

[mellow leaf]

is varmilo a good keycap brand?

oh snap my grammar is acting up

[fluid ravine]

Double shot is where the legends is mold physically into the keycaps which never comes off

[fluid ravine]

idk lol

[mellow leaf]

just like my costar stabilized huntsman v2 tkl

they have those type of keycaps

[fluid ravine]

yeah doubleshot

Doubleshot PBT and Doubleshot ABS is different based off of the materials being used

[harsh dove]

https://www.keyboard.university/100-courses/keycaps-101-ydy8j

[fluid ravine]

thanks CAM

[mellow leaf]

https://www.studioctrl.ch/de/varmilo/2047-varmilo-88-keys-moonlight-keycap-set-iso-ch.html these are the only iso-ch keycaps i found that looks simular to a dcx hyperfuse

[polar girder]

Yo that’s all I need right? @harsh dove @median spade

Then have Tom do custom plate?

Or anyone else who built in a frog mini lol

[calm pulsar]

should be it for a build

[median spade]

yeah that's it

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[fluid ravine]

oh boi

gl

[polar girder]

Ty ty

I think I’ll just dump the Wooting in a redux for like $200

Damn I almost forgot I already ordered that psd60 gasket case

[median spade]

Drill holes in plate

[harsh dove]

Just got this in at work.
1862 Enfield Tower Musket

[polar girder]

Yeah not sure if I should drill or return lol

[brazen sparrow]

What do you do for work??

[sharp vigil]

musket

[median spade]

If you can make a 3d printed mouse you can drill holes

[polar girder]

I don’t

I paid someone else to design it and someone else to print it

[polar girder]

Ok bought frog and sold 60HE in redux

That’s good

That look right?

My eyes are glazing over looking at that

They don’t have black nylon so I think I’ll go black PP

although it’s softer than I’d like I think

[jade storm]

No, Pulsar Xlite V3

[jade storm]

All of it, even in his Discord lol

[polar girder]

Guess I have to choose between screw in or plate mount or get 2 plates

😵‍💫

And do I need counter sunk holes and kit?

[timid geyser]

anyone used all metal keycaps before and can vouch its good or nah

[knotty iron]

My KBDfans tools have arrived!

Now for thr KPrepublic stuff

[harsh dove]

Yes

[polar girder]

Ty

No aluminum is sad

I feel like I might end up buying that one later. Also maybe nylon tho 😅

Ordered.

Black PP plate mount

Hope it works

[versed goblet]

I accidentally orderd long pole switches with regular stabs do u think there will be a problem?

[thorn zealot]

no

[mellow leaf]

if you hit the ends, yes, if middle, no

[harsh dove]

Problems really only occur in that situation when you have keycaps with loose tolerances, which is more common with cheap keycaps.
It also typically happens on the spacebar when you press either end of the spacebar and it can pop off the stem. To resolve this you can put tiny silicone o rings on the stab stems or get long pole stabilizers.

Plenty of people including myself use “long pole” switches with standard stabs without issue

[sharp vigil]

How long can factory lube last? I already have my Jades but no module to put them on, so they're just sitting there in the box. I haven't opened the package yet though.

The module will arrive late July early August so I was wondering if I should get some lube as well in case they wear out or smtn

[harsh dove]

Lube last quite awhile but I personally lube all my switches cause the springs suck

Springs are always dry

[sharp vigil]

I see

[harsh dove]

I shouldn’t say they suck

They’re just always dry

So lubing the springs would be my #1 recommendation

[marsh saffron]

I'm dreading having to lube switches again when I get lavenders

[harsh dove]

Well the stem and housing lube is fine if you wanna ignore that

Just lube the springs at least

[sharp vigil]

I'll see if I can add the lube stuff to my order

no reason not to other than laziness tbh

[thorn zealot]

can i just open all the switches and bag lube all the springs

and leave the rest of the switch how it is prelubed

[harsh dove]

Yep

My only other recommendation if not bothering with factory lube would be to at least lube the top housing where the side rails hit the top

Helps kinda reduce that top out sound and imo makes it cleaner sounding

[thorn zealot]

alr cool

so i dont have to spend as much time

hopefully i dont lose one of these springs again

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[polar girder]

I’m going to have to get new keycaps at some point

Really hope I can score a metalkeyboards alu set

[polar girder]

Bunch of IEM tips? Lol

[harsh dove]

Yeah and some new IEMs I been wanting to try out

Got em on sale

And the tips were bundled with it

[polar girder]

Oh nice

[bronze harbor]

i bought the tx ap plate mount stabs and when i put them in, my spacebar sticks. is there something i did wrong? kinda new in keyboards but if you guys have any tips i would appreciate it

[uneven cradle]

those the dunu S&S tips? those are what I'm using atm

thinking of getting the mega5est but my spending money is tied up in keyboards for a bit

[harsh dove]

Yeah and the Final Audio tips (Multi Kit)

[uneven cradle]

those dunu tips are the only ones that sound good for me with the em6l

[harsh dove]

Yeah figured I’d get multiple just to see and also for my other IEMs

[uneven cradle]

they're pretty unique though, lots of people dislike them

[harsh dove]

Yeah more of a longer square shape

[thorn zealot]

what iems u got?

[harsh dove]

And some Sennheiser IE300s

[sweet oak]

So pretty

[thorn zealot]

those em6ls

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[uneven cradle]

a good buy those, insane price/performance

[thorn zealot]

they graph pretty close to mu iems rn

ew2

[polar girder]

Lmk

Only IEM im remotely interested in TBH

But even then I really shouldn’t do the in the ear thing

[versed goblet]

Are akko keycaps cheap?

[urban harbor]

this is a known issue with the tolerances of the wooting plates and the ap stabs

#🪛│modding_faq message

@fluid ravine This new mouse is cheating

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sBz3bNCIm9BIYTMxJpoVaEdqwuItqvb0/view?usp=drive_link

imagine if I had a Wooting

[median spade]

Is this the frog mini 60he option?

Just looks like frog mini to me

[untold wigeon]

I tried these. They are ok.

https://a.co/d/07Z6Yu3A

[calm pulsar]

the page is probably the plates for wooting, and below you select custom case other > frog mini

[quiet bay]

Fancy case for some fancy iems o.o

those look really nice

[harsh dove]

Seems on the lower end but I haven't tried those myself tbh

[harsh dove]

I like the Senn IE300s, never had any personal issues with em, get different tips for em tho

[fluid ravine]

Yea they are

[stray tiger]

Sorry for my absence gents. Was in vacation for 10days and trying to get caught up. Also, I bought a new truck so that's been fun.

[fluid ravine]

Oh my days-

[fluid ravine]

All good Pops, hope you had a great vaca, what truck did you get?

[harsh dove]

Damn, new truck? Nice!

[fluid ravine]

Big trucks for big daddy's

[stray tiger]

Just a mid size truck. No need for a full size lol

[marsh saffron]

Gotta build a matching 60he now🤷

[harsh dove]

Cleannn

[fluid ravine]

Our goat holeh

[stray tiger]

Picked the Terrorist Tan color

[fluid ravine]

Nice color choice as well

[median spade]

Good choice

the tacoma and colorado both such good trucks

[harsh dove]

Best color tbh

[stray tiger]

I wanted a Tacoma honestly but two things

1. New Tacoma's are horrible. It's bad, real bad.
2. Old Tacoma's which are great would cost me more than a new a Colorado

[harsh dove]

Fair enough

What's bad about the new Tacomas?

TLDR

[median spade]

Valid

My 2018 wrx is a garage princess with 19k miles

New turbo engine is garbage. Already tons of recalls and you can't get the old engine. Now manufactured in Mexico and QC issues are everywhere. CEO resigned recently. Oh and the best part, a base model with no upgrades start at $45k

[fluid ravine]

45k????????

[median spade]

Wow

[fluid ravine]

Wtf

[harsh dove]

Nuff said, lmao

[median spade]

That’s not the Toyota we know and love

[fluid ravine]

thats what im saying

the hell

[stray tiger]

Just YouTube "new Tacoma's not selling"

[fluid ravine]

alr

[stray tiger]

Sales are down 60% on Tacoma's

[uneven cradle]

that mid sized truck still a big ass truck by anywhere outside of the US standards

[fluid ravine]

damn

[fluid ravine]

real haha

[stray tiger]

That's true. It's larger than my jeep.

[fluid ravine]

theres no "but"s around here

[fluid ravine]

my oh my

[median spade]

I miss when midsize trucks weren't full sized trucks of past..............

[stray tiger]

Yeah Tacoma's were the midsize truck to buy, but not anymore. I have no idea if the Colorado will hold up like a the prior gen Tacoma's, I doubt it will, but we shall see.

[stray tiger]

Well there is still the Ford Maverick I guess

[median spade]

yeah but imagine driving a ford

[harsh dove]

[median spade]

those headlights too

what were they thinking

early 2000s chrome type beat 🤮

[stray tiger]

The F150 is the full size what Tacoma's were to midsize though

[harsh dove]

Well.. they weren't thinking

[stray tiger]

F150 has been the best selling truck for like 15yrs or something

[fluid ravine]

Idk, like some of the latest cars got some weird head and back lights...

[stray tiger]

They nailed it with all the Raptor trims though

[fluid ravine]

take notes peeps

[harsh dove]

Raptor the only one I like

[stray tiger]

But Chevy did pretty good keeping up with them

[loud zephyr]

Hope you had a nice break! I love those big ass trucks. I parked next to a RAM 1500(?) few weeks ago and my hatchback looked like a mushroom, so massive and imposing. It even managed to block the sun

[stray tiger]

Thanks, went fishing for 10 days in the mountains. Caught some good ones!

[fluid ravine]

dude this part is just

[fluid ravine]

damn that camera work

What kind of fish is that?

[stray tiger]

Salmo trutta (Brown Trout)

[fluid ravine]

does it taste good

[uneven cradle]

trouts pretty good, we got rainbow trout here

[fluid ravine]

woa

[stray tiger]

Check out this rainbow trout from two days ago. Turn the volume up

[fluid ravine]

holy shit balls

woa its beautiful

CAM had problems with the spring ping

oop-

[uneven cradle]

damn that's a good one

[fluid ravine]

Are there any aligators or crocs there?

[stray tiger]

No, they fresh water rivers and no alligators in UT

[fluid ravine]

Oh and are yall allowed to take em fishy home?

[fluid ravine]

ah i see

[stray tiger]

We just catch and release.

[fluid ravine]

o lol

[stray tiger]

This will explain it. https://youtu.be/UE6GrJr6oVg?si=QYUTMVFujuj26vSM

[versed goblet]

So you're saying I'd mostly be fine?

Because I orderd Wuque Dash HE switches and TX Ap stabs

[brazen sparrow]

Big ol trout

[versed goblet]

I'm just questioning like would the long pole switch just not be able to bottom out?

Or would it be the stabs that wouldn't bottom out

[uneven cradle]

I didn't have any issues with my jades and the normal stabs

[versed goblet]

So what happens with cases like those

That's all I'm wondering

Like why are long pole stabs a thing if they work fine with regular

[harsh dove]

I love yalls reactions lmao

Thas a big fish

[sweet oak]

Reminds me of when i was a kid and with my makeshift boy scouts rod i caught a decent sized bass with it on a trip with my dad

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[versed goblet]

Wait @harsh dove

I'm just wondering what long poles even do

[harsh dove]

Cause they don't always work fine

[versed goblet]

Are some switches just too long?

[harsh dove]

Well Closed Bottom HE Switches aren't really long pole, they just have a closed bottom that reduces the travel distance, the stem is the same size as a regular open bottom HE switch

[versed goblet]

Oh and that's why they work just fine?

I wouldn't have a higher bottom out or somthing?

[harsh dove]

No, you still do

It really just comes down to your keycaps tolerance, you'll most likely be fine

[versed goblet]

So if I had the choice to return and get a lubed and balanced pair of long pole what would be the final verdict

[harsh dove]

With long poles you're just guaranteed to not have issues pretty much, whereas with standard there's a small chance you have a tolerance issue with the keycaps and Jades/Dashes, but it's a small chance

[paper bloom]

Ig its all dependent on the keycaps

[harsh dove]

and if you ever want to swap to a different HE switch that's open bottom then you can't use the long poles

[versed goblet]

Damn

Okay well I guess we will see

[harsh dove]

Basically just tryna save you money from buying long poles before you know if you even have issues with your regular stabs

[versed goblet]

Oh well they are already coming in

They said if it has problems

Then return and they will send me lp

[cedar gate]

Is it a good idea to swap to long pole stabs with jades

Is it better

[calm pulsar]

havent tried it yet but I was searching through the discord and found that it might be a little bit better

if I understand correctly they fit more inside the keycap so it doesn't angle the keycap if you press hard on the ends of it

[median spade]

Only a problem with cheapo keycaps usually

[rare kraken]

Does tape modding effect the keyboard

[hidden pond]

Yes, creates a "poppier" sound

[rare kraken]

Nah I meant like the actuation of it

And rapid trigger

[fluid ravine]

Nah

[rare kraken]

Last thing should I do tape and extra foam or just tape and how many layers of tape

[polar girder]

Tape mod goes on underside of PCB

not in between PCB and switches by the way

[jade storm]

get Truthear Zero's, Reds or OGs

Good morning boys and germs, how's everyone doing?

[polar girder]

I think you missed the point lol

[thorn zealot]

What about them are interesting to u

Just wondering

[jade storm]

yeah

they're not even a good IEM

overpriced Sennheiser garbage

cable goes bad too

for $50 you can have an amazing IEM experience

[thorn zealot]

Yes

Just wondering tho

Prob not for me but might be for him

[dire thicket]

KZ ZS10 pro X are a really good option for the price

[polar girder]

Cuz I don’t really care about IEM’s like that

Just wanted to try those ones is all

I’m not trying to valuemax

[thorn zealot]

👍

[dire thicket]

@polar girder go for KZ ZS10 pro or pro X, you willl not be disapointed

[shell inlet]

Does wooting two he have cases I can switch it into ?

[austere creek]

no

[shell inlet]

Damn

[austere creek]

a german company investigated an alu case and they did a rough estimate of around 300eur for the case

[shell inlet]

Wow

[austere creek]

has never been produced and thus the real price is unknown for a third party case for the 2he

reason for the high price is mainly that such cases could only ever be used with a 2he and nothing else.

[velvet sky]

and is that a blank ready to be customized case or would that be a customized case/

[urban harbor]

I think if anyone is buying a two HE or 80HE and expecting the case options of the 60HE you are barking up the wrong tree

Companies rarely make cases to fit other companies’ keyboards. They can just make their own boards

[floral jacinth]

Can you tell me the top modification for the Wooting 60HE+?

[polar girder]

lol funny I never asked for IEM recommendation but thanks anyway

[marsh saffron]

Case swap, new switches, keycaps

Easiest things you can do to completely change the look and feel

[harsh dove]

[floral jacinth]

Can you write down the names of the best ones for me?

[marsh saffron]

https://tenor.com/view/preference-glarses-mx-brown-cherry-mx-brown-keyboard-gif-21044520

I can list some of the popular options but in the end its all preference

Cases that I know of are stuff like the tofu redux, alumaze, salvation, fjell. There's a list somewhere with compatible cases which shows much more

Switches still don't have many good options

Gateron jades, neo lavenders, geon raptors are all I know of tbh

Keycaps find them yourself

[vivid jasper]

Can you please explain what program this is? Are you just somehow measuring the progress of the switch itself?

[harsh dove]

Wooting Analog Monitor

Using it to test actuation distance of different switches with different magnets

[brittle sluice]

is the 60+module not compatible with the protagonist 60wk? dont see it on the list

[vivid jasper]

Thank you! it turns out kailh mistral will not work normally on wooting, right?

[harsh dove]

Correct

[tawdry tree]

Magnets are too weak sadly.

[harsh dove]

No it is not

[tawdry tree]

You can still use them but it’s not optimal

[harsh dove]

Protag has a daughter board

[floral jacinth]

Why do people modding, because they don't like the sound?

[harsh dove]

Mainly yeah

Sound or Feel

All preference

[brittle sluice]

or looks

[harsh dove]

that too

[brittle sluice]

what does a daughterboard mean?

[marsh saffron]

Sound, feel, looks. Otherwise you don't need fo

It's just a second board usually for the USBC port

[brittle sluice]

like a very specific pcb?

[marsh saffron]

It's not directly on the main pcb

[brittle sluice]

hmm i see thank you

[harsh dove]

They make unified daughterboard that can be used on a lot of PCBs but Wooting60HE PCB does not use one

[marsh saffron]

The 2he uses a daughter board doesn't it?

Never actually seen what the 2he pcb looks like even

[brittle sluice]

so yea i wouldnt be able to charge it basically cause it would be blocked

or connect i mean

[marsh saffron]

Yeah for the 60he you need cases with USBC ports that line up properly

[harsh dove]

Yeah the Protag has a centered USB Port '

Whereas the Wooting60HE has Left Side USB Port

[brittle sluice]

yeah makes sense

appreciate it

I have a question. I’m about to plate swap and switch my lekkers to jades. Do I unscrew the plate from the pcb and then pop the new jades into the plate and then screw the pcb back together or do I screw the pcb back together and then pop the switches in?

Normally with hotswap boards you don’t have to screw the plate and pcb together. The switches hold it together

[marsh saffron]

Either works

If you are going PC plate I'd do it when it's all screwed back together

As the PC plates flex can be annoying to put switches in on its own

[restive gulch]

Got a custom POM

[unkempt tide]

this counts as modding right?

The Wooden Wooting

the stock foam didn’t fit in the case but i’m gonna try to get some thinner foam to put in there

[marsh saffron]

If it's quite flexible putting switches in while it's all screwed together would likely be easier
