Ong

[mellow beacon]

fr hahaha

until death

[polar girder]

Need some high power, ultimate calibrated tiny magnets

[fluid ravine]

Me over here still trying to cook to find the ACTUAL problem with these switches

[polar girder]

In an ink black housing

[calm pulsar]

btw with black knights upper housing tape modding likely isnt possible, its just too tight w/ gateron stem

maybe with the stock black knight stem, but not sure

[fluid ravine]

Send one over fr

[polar girder]

Good to know

[fluid ravine]

But thats interesting to know

[polar girder]

I was kinda sorta maybe tempted to buy black knights to use the top housing for my stem swapped raptors

Cuz I hate red

But love nylon

[fluid ravine]

Wait what does Black Knights sound like again

[calm pulsar]

that'll be most expensive shipping you ever paid lul

[fluid ravine]

lul

[calm pulsar]

uhh ig its just lekker kinda switch, but they are lubed with oil from factory, so they're kinda poppy I think

[polar girder]

Yeah

Pretty MID

MORE MID HE SWITCHES

“But they’re black!”

Reeeeeee

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

You have a full board sound test or nah

[calm pulsar]

im glad I got gugus tho, I think it'll slap once I get my black jades

[fluid ravine]

or is there on out there

[calm pulsar]

im just too lazy to rebuild my keeb rn, plus im waiting for the module

[fluid ravine]

oh you dont have one?

yet***

[calm pulsar]

no I have 60he non plus

[fluid ravine]

oh

[calm pulsar]

older one

[fluid ravine]

I rebuild it for you, i totally have so much time

[polar girder]

Yeah gugu are tempting

[calm pulsar]

my baby rn

[polar girder]

I’m a prima donna and want the black box stem to match the plate mount tx ap stabs lolz

[fluid ravine]

It dustaaaay

[calm pulsar]

xd true

[fluid ravine]

yum

[rich cape]

According to Aligner they're basically raptors with a boxed stem, probably similar sound

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[sweet oak]

How old is the baby

[fluid ravine]

Oh tanks, I can imagine it better now

[calm pulsar]

got it on oct 17th 2023

[rich cape]

A few people in here have mentioned they've ordered, so probably won't be long until someone posts a soundclip of them

[mellow leaf]

guys, what are some good screw in stabilizers for wooting 60he+ iso?

[polar girder]

Cute combo

[polar girder]

You buy the module or full thing?

[mellow leaf]

full, i will mod it leter on, not right away

[calm pulsar]

they both have screw in support these days

[mellow leaf]

the prebuilt 60he+ does, the og 60he doesnt

[calm pulsar]

I know, you mentioned that you've got 60he+

[fluid ravine]

Oh to have the module

[mellow leaf]

im also getting it later on

🙂

i will use for a couple months before modding the heck out of it

[calm pulsar]

that's the way to do it

[polar girder]

I know but module comes with good screw ins

[calm pulsar]

oh fair my bad, didnt think about it

im already thinking of replacing them with clip ins cause I wanted to try gummy mounting

[thorn zealot]

Can’t u use smaller o rings for gummy

For screw ins

[calm pulsar]

not sure tbh, never tried gummy mounting so I just ordered tx ap screw ins and clip ins

[thorn zealot]

U could also wait for the new silicone sandwich pad

That’s what I’m doing

Well it depends what case u have

[calm pulsar]

freebird60, we'll see if this new thing fits

[fluid ravine]

luv it :>

[polar girder]

Idk clip ins fix it

They look the same as screw in for the area affected

[harsh dove]

Yeah ima finish converting all mine later today maybe

Ima need to lube them tho cause after lubing Lavenders, these things are great

[calm pulsar]

yeah especially the springs

after a while my jades are pingy as hell

[harsh dove]

The springs were my biggest issue and now they’re amazing lol

Also lubed the top housing so they’re quieter and deeper

And just feel smoother overall

[calm pulsar]

you lubed springs with oil right? do you think its better than krytox? im just wondering what kind of lube will last longer on springs

[harsh dove]

Yeah I just used super lube oil, but I also lubed the bottom housing cylinder where the spring goes

[polar girder]

I bought clip ins then went ahead and bought plate mount

But I didn’t even put in the clip-ins. The fixture between the plate and the PCB looked the same as screw in so figured it would have same problem

[harsh dove]

Oh also, I still like my SK Knights over the WS Stupid Stabs, went back to my Knights after installing them

[polar girder]

Knights are the screw in while Stupid are the clip-ins right?

Still waiting on a silicone housing plate mount

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[calm pulsar]

hmm so do you find WS Stupids better than TX AP clip ins? WS ones are way cheaper for me maybe I cna order them instead of TX AP ones

[knotty iron]

Ayo

Cam I have good news

KPrepublic Poron PCB Film is here!!!

[calm pulsar]

is this for stabs?

[knotty iron]

yep

I also have WS v3.1 1.6mm silicone stabs

i will letbyou know how the combo sounds when assembled on the 60HE+

[harsh dove]

I mean tx ap are fine too tbh

I just don’t recommend them anymore cause of fitment issues for some people

[harsh dove]

Nice, lmk what you think
I tried em and ended up removing them after awhile, I liked em for a little bit

[calm pulsar]

yeah I think I have tx ap screw ins anyway and the ws clip ins are 3x cheaper than tx ap so I'll get them

[harsh dove]

Yeah lmk what you think, weirdly enough, I liked them as they were out of the box, once I lubed the wires, they sounded off on some keys

I didn’t take very much time to tune them tho so

Just went back to my SK Knights

[calm pulsar]

btw do you know if WS stupids are long pole?

[knotty iron]

out of the box for my 101 sku sounds and feels ok

but could be better

[harsh dove]

Nah they are standard

[fluid ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/mmmmm-sweet-squirts-gif-24660198

I wonder why...

[harsh dove]

lol fr

[knotty iron]

non long pole 1.6mm are the same as the stock 60HE+ stabs?

[polar girder]

Yeah lmk what you think

[ivory pier]

are there any keyboards other than wooting on market that take lekker switches + the gateron ks-20 line?

[knotty iron]

ive seen a few that are jade compatible

[calm pulsar]

I also got this, ig this is a gimmick but i'll try it out
https://kbdfans.com/products/kbdfans-pcb-mount-stabilizers-partner?_pos=2&_psq=stabilizer+part&_ss=e&_v=1.0

[ivory pier]

the ones ive seen like the drunkdeer and polar65 seem to only take their own switches

and i think theres a few that only work with the ks-37s like the boog

[knotty iron]

DD only support raesha magnetics afaik

[grizzled compass]

a little scuffed cause some of the key caps didn’t fit but i’m loving how it came out

[ivory pier]

yea exactly

[polar girder]

What the heck is that lol

[harsh dove]

What is this supposed to do

[calm pulsar]

I dunno lmao, I just noticed this on AE when ordering a bunch of small things

maybe it it supposed to reduce wire rattle

[harsh dove]

Def seems like a gimmick

[ivory pier]

im interested in the 80he bc i cant deal without arrow keys but the led on the right puts me off so much lmao

[harsh dove]

It’s shims and wire covers basically

Supposed to stop wires from popping out? Idk

And you glue it to the side ?

Is that even gonna fit in the plate still

Or does it go underneath

[calm pulsar]

lol actually yeah will it even fit with the plate

[knotty iron]

what is that

[fluid ravine]

goes under the plate..

[harsh dove]

Yeah seems like it

[fluid ravine]

im still trying to figure out what its for

my brain starting to hurt

[calm pulsar]

maybe the idea is to make the surface in which the wire is attached to stabilizer wider and thus reducing rattle

[fluid ravine]

wait-

[calm pulsar]

but most of rattle happens inside of the housing anyway, so I dunno

[fluid ravine]

@harsh dove You know how the Stupid stabs have the wire clip in "upside down"

I think this is kinda implementing that

But now im wondering why did WS do that for

yknow why?

This just reminds me of it

[knotty iron]

do we know about KBDfans restocking on those 1k cnc keychains?

[fluid ravine]

ah yes the non clipped stabs

heh

[ivory pier]

these work on the wooting?

[calm pulsar]

I want my module to materialize in front of me so I can test all this stuff out

black jades too

[median spade]

I think asking KBDfans about that would be the better route lol

[median spade]

no

[quiet bay]

Just got back from biking and playing Pokemon Go 🔥

back to keyboarding

[final widget]

whered you get the keycaps from

[harsh dove]

Yeah it’s the same thing

[harsh dove]

No

[grizzled compass]

amazon

[harsh dove]

Yo @polar girder

Have you ever lubed the top housing of your switches?

Think it’d do wonders for you in terms of quietness

[polar girder]

I think I lubed the whole thing up pretty good

[calm pulsar]

can confirm

[polar girder]

I could bust one open and see

Tempted to get the L35 springs

[quiet bay]

wow

that's light

[untold wigeon]

guys would it be possible to get a plastic case with 10t weights attached to it?

would be very cool no?

[cold bloom]

easiest way to figure this out is to read the compatibility lists for the different gateron switches. Jades are compatible with wooting boards and any board that those switches will fit into with a similar pcb/magnet design, if they have reversed polarity or a diff shape magnet it won't work with wooting etc

(SteelSeries / Wooting / Corsair /Rakka / 和沐 /Nuphy/ Varmilo/ MelGeek/ Fantic/ Teamwolf/ MAGNET/ SIKAKEYB/ irok/ Matrix lab/ KBDfans......)

these are listed as compatible with the regular Jades

(Available for following magnetic keyboard: WuqueStudio, Arbiter Studio, Yuki aim , Higround , Kzzi, Roccat, EndgameGear, Waizowl and other magnetic switch keyboards）

and these are listed for the different E polarity dual rail jade

[ivory pier]

ok thanks mate

[cold bloom]

no problem

KS-20 list the same boards as the regular jades

steel series, corsair, rakka, melgeek, matrix labs, kbdfans etc

wooting obv

[jade wave]

sad but otherwise its FRIKKIN EPIC my dude especially with the matching mat

[jade wave]

u know a 3d printed mod can be made where u just block it off with a piece of plastic after you remove it first. imo its doable.

[knotty iron]

yeah youre right mb

[final widget]

anyone know where i can get gun metal grey keycaps 😄 PBT or GMK cherry pref

[tidal frigate]

Gun metal grey keycaps will be hard to find. Do you need exactly gun metal grey shade?

[final widget]

I mean, it would be nice since i got the raw zinc case and im going to be using them till hopefully i can get my hands on some cosmos

[rich cape]

https://www.gloriousgaming.com/products/glorious-pbt-black-key-caps
https://kprepublic.com/products/cherry-profile-dye-sub-keycap-set-thick-pbt-plastic-black-yellow-gentleman-for-gh60-xd64-xd84-xd96-87-104-razer-corsair
Maybe?

[final widget]

yeah i saw these or even the GMK double shot, which would you think would look best with raw case

[rich cape]

No clue tbh

[final widget]

just ur opinion

[rich cape]

I have the Glorious ones myself on a 2HE

I feel like both sets are very similar in color

[final widget]

nice !

check these ones

https://ilumkb.com/collections/gmk-in-stock/products/gmk-dualshot-2

[rich cape]

I think the ones from kprepublic are a bit darker than the Glorious ones

[final widget]

this is another option

[final widget]

yeah im leaning more to those tbh

[rich cape]

Glorious ones have slightly darker edges on the keycaps, which looks nice imo. I feel like it's not really visible in the screenshots on the website

[tidal frigate]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/ choose keycaps from one of vendors that is close to you

[rich cape]

This is nice too

[final widget]

idm ordering from anywhere around the world tbh

[final widget]

help me pick one.. too many options LOL

[rich cape]

xd

[tidal frigate]

So look trough every vendor for eu/na and kbdfans and order set you like

[rich cape]

I'm swapping out my Glorious ones in about 1-3 months probably since I honestly don't really like how hard it is to see the legends due to them being black on grey

[final widget]

which ones u going for then

[rich cape]

I've ordered these https://www.alohakb.com/products/alohakb-ausicious-snow-cherry-profile-keycaps

[tidal frigate]

@final widget propably you will find keycap set you like

[final widget]

theres a lot of options tho xD ill go thru them slowly

[final widget]

nice !

[tidal frigate]

Yeah it would be better for you

[rich cape]

I think was browsing keycap sets for like 2+ weeks before I finally decided on something to order

[final widget]

yeah see !!! hahaha

[rich cape]

But I'm also kinda limited in options since I'm on the 2HE, with ISO Nordic layout

The Glorious Black Ashes were honestly just a temporary set to use until I found something. Since they were cheap

[final widget]

i feel ya !

well congrats xD

[rich cape]

But yea, I've come across a lot of grey/dark grey/gunmetal colored sets, so you should be able to find something eventually

Also, if you decide to get from kprepublic, you might be able to find the set through their own store on Aliexpress, where it might be a few bucks cheaper

[final widget]

ohh nice, thanks for the tip !

[rich cape]

Just make sure that it is actually from their own store on there, to avoid accidentally ordering bootlegs

[final widget]

yeah, ill have a look around- gna take some time as i heard cosmos will be end of the year probs

[rich cape]

Cosmos?

[final widget]

ohh they sexy

[calm pulsar]

gb should start Q3

[rich cape]

Ah, the GMK set that has the black glitter legends?

[calm pulsar]

yup

[final widget]

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=122582.0

[rich cape]

Yea

Personally I like the idea, but feel like the glitter effect is a tad too muted

[final widget]

its different, and not too colourful- i like it

[final widget]

thats sometime now xD

[calm pulsar]

I think no one has done such a Black on Black set yet. This seems like the main keycap color is the standard gmk black (as on WoB), but the legends color is even darker than that

[harsh dove]

I’m buying two sets of Cosmos

[final widget]

why

[median spade]

gmk dark

https://www.switchkeys.com.au/cdn/shop/products/dark_splash.png?v=1602417313&width=1800

[calm pulsar]

I thought it was more of a black on grey

I mean literal black on black would be just blank keycaps lol, so gmk grey is pretty cool too

I like that the mod keys are just letters like on gmk minimal

[median spade]

GMK mictlan probably closer too

[final widget]

that looks grey @rich cape think we found the set? xD

[median spade]

https://novelkeys.com/cdn/shop/files/GMK_CYL_Mictlan_16x9-5_1728x.jpg?v=1698065749

this another one

[calm pulsar]

yeah, its alphas is like gmk grey on black

[median spade]

but yeah black on black would j ust be blanks

[calm pulsar]

seems like the group buy ended 4 years ago lol

ig it's only possible to find a used set

[harsh dove]

Because

[tawdry tree]

They sound really nice

[harsh dove]

Do those work with wootings? I think not right

They look like they’re made by Latenpow but idk

[median spade]

laten POW

https://tenor.com/view/batmanandrobin-pow-blap-gif-19395914

[harsh dove]

What if they made a black on black keycap set but with a transparent Smokey top layer like GMK Symbiote but similar Smokeyness like the Ghost PCR 80HE case

[tawdry tree]

Nah, they physically don’t fit like the 37Bs. It’s the Raesha silent switch I believe.

[harsh dove]

Oh okay

Makes sense

[tawdry tree]

Pretty interesting structure though

[harsh dove]

Yeah

Very Mx

[tawdry tree]

Exactly

[harsh dove]

Hope to see more like that soon

But wooting compatible

[tawdry tree]

🙏

[harsh dove]

And I don’t care for silent but I’m not against it

Just more with that bottom housing structure

[uneven cradle]

Yet to find a silent switch that didn't feel like ass

[tawdry tree]

Yeah I know

[harsh dove]

Oh they call em Sakura Snow

Silent Linears

[tawdry tree]

Only 2 boards can use them I think

as of now at least

kinda crazy how they went all out for boards nobody uses

🥲

[harsh dove]

Hurts a lil bit

[tawdry tree]

fr

[harsh dove]

Every manu should be making switches for the Wooting

Most popular board

Wasting time and money on other switches /s

Wooting only

Smh

[tawdry tree]

they wanna be different or something

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/chip-nxk-neuroxik-psh-kicking-gif-21016863

[uneven cradle]

Just waiting for those new new wooting switches, have faith they coming up with something juicy

[tawdry tree]

2 months more

https://tenor.com/view/losing-patience-peter-strahm-saw-iv-getting-angry-getting-on-my-nerves-gif-15520355498529767592

[quiet bay]

My Cerakeys finally got picked up by USPS

now to only hope they don't lose it

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-yoda-patience-sw3-gif-21070142

[normal schooner]

[rich cape]

If you like it, then yea go for it

[untold wigeon]

Just relax. And remember once you get them all your free time will then be dedicated to cleaning them. lol.

[quiet bay]

Last time they lost my UwUting

[untold wigeon]

Oof that sux

[calm pulsar]

I was looking at IV Works Umbra and got to thinking, is it possible to wire Wooting USB-C port to a daughterboard, making it compatible with 60% cases with the centered USB-C port?

[quiet bay]

At the end I did get another one but it did take more time lol

[untold wigeon]

Go try. I need to know this also

[final widget]

ahh ill pass on it then

[calm pulsar]

not sure where to even start 😄

[untold wigeon]

Remove usbc port and make jumpers from the daughter board and wire them in.

Jk.

Start probing with a multimeter and see what’s what. You should know if it’s possible after a while

[remote cairn]

Any recommendations for sets that could go with a white zinc alloy case? I was thinking X-ray but still not sure

[willow bronze]

can't go wrong with BoW

[calm pulsar]

I have one actually, just never really done anything with electronics
only soldered once when I upgraded my gamepad, it was super messy though

I was thinking to research for at least some kind of usb-c port extender, maybe that's a start

[harsh dove]

Xray is the only way

[willow bronze]

gonna be a very sought after set though.. mark your calendar in case

[untold wigeon]

It’s a start but most likely it’ll be in the way. That’s why I suggested removing the port and wiring up an extension to wire to the daughter board.

First step get some old electronics and start practicing soldering

[remote cairn]

So around that many kits will sell

[willow bronze]

prob even more, I didn't submit my email to not get spam

[fluid ravine]

whats that

[harsh dove]

I wanna drop a sound test of this Frog x POM x Lubed Lavenders but I'm struggling to get it to sound the same in recordings as it does in person lol

[prime ridge]

For anyone that has the Frog Mini

Do you guys think having a PP plate will affect the performance of the board?

[harsh dove]

no

[prime ridge]

Okay great! I just remember someone saying that having too much flex can cause interference with the PCB and switches

[uneven cradle]

Still waiting on my frog to ship

[harsh dove]

Well the plate is mounted to the PCB, it's not the same as MX, for HE, the switches are held by the plate

[uneven cradle]

As long as the plate and pcb are connected I don't see why there would be an issue

[prime ridge]

Ah gotcha

Sounds good

Current plan is to take the module, PP plate, and Frog Mini case I found on MM

Also with Lavenders

I'm also thinking about picking up the Geon Raw HE switches

Anyone have thoughts about those?

Seems to be a good priced HE switch that isn't the typical Gateron Jade recolor

[uneven cradle]

I think jades have the nicest feel/sound but the raws haven't releases yet but I think the closed bottom makes a big different and the raws are still open

[harsh dove]

Just a quick sound test recorded on my phone (in other words I hate it) lol but you can see how much flex my board has and no issues with performance

Youll see the flex towards the end when I do Alpha Smash

[prime ridge]

That sounds really nice and I can see the nice flex there too

[fluid ravine]

nom

[harsh dove]

Yeah this is POM plate with Lavenders

[prime ridge]

Oh I didn't realize that the bottom of it is open. Thought they were closed. Thanks for letting me know!

[fluid ravine]

Wow thats flexy

[prime ridge]

Haven't tried the Jades but I heard the top out can sound "plasticky"?

[calm pulsar]

it is semi-open, it bottoms out like a jade but there's space in there too

[fluid ravine]

My enter key sounds like that :/ dont enjoy that much ngl

[harsh dove]

and Lavenders are very similar to Jades, they have them listed as 3.8mm instead of 3.5mm travel distance and the Lavenders have slightly poppier sound than the Jades, whether you like that or not is personal, they have nylon top housing instead of PC

[fluid ravine]

yup yup

[harsh dove]

Just lube the top housing and springs when you get them and you're good to go

Same goes for Lavenders and Black Jades

[calm pulsar]

wouldn't recording with a mic above be better? cause I can hear the table quite a bit

but I can hear the general idea and I like the sound signature of the frog with jades/lavenders

[prime ridge]

Gotcha sounds good. Thanks for letting me know

[hard moon]

may i suggest finger snipping instead of mouse clicking first? Usually every mouse sounds different depending on the switches within

[harsh dove]

That;s why I said it was a quick sound test on my phone lol, in other words I hate it or in other other words, It sounds like shit lol

[harsh dove]

Sure

[harsh dove]

GPX2 clicks are ugly anyway

[fluid ravine]

dude the springs on the gpx2 ;-;

[harsh dove]

Yeah springy af

[fluid ravine]

😭

[hard moon]

it uses springs?!?

[fluid ravine]

must require more flex >:P

[harsh dove]

It just sounds springy

[loud zephyr]

There's a build stream on Geonworks Youtube but he's using a custom pcb. The RAW He's sounded no better or worse than Jade's imo

[harsh dove]

crunchy

[fluid ravine]

not my source

[calm pulsar]

ah all good, I can still get an idea of how it sounds in person

will you be testing the black jades in this config too?

[harsh dove]

yeah gpx2 has heavier clicks

[fluid ravine]

pink gpx2, black gpx1

[hard moon]

sounds hollow af

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[fluid ravine]

mhm

[calm pulsar]

gotta lube the springs lul

[hard moon]

you know what's worse? When some reviewers say the clicks get "better over time"

that's not "getting better", that just means it wears out quite quickly

[harsh dove]

I heard that about the GPX2 I think

[marsh saffron]

Beastx mini clicks are so satisfying

[harsh dove]

I bet

[agile grove]

Nyumi what mouse do you use?

[hard moon]

Sora 4k

[marsh saffron]

I think it uses huano blue shell pink dot?

[hard moon]

i was considering the v2, but given that it's barely an upgrade to my 4k i decided to stick with it

[uneven cradle]

Ngl I'm not a fan of all these optical mice clicks

Gimmi a nice mechanical switch

[hard moon]

well, yeah, optical switches don't have that satisfying Umph to it

[jade storm]

Have a superlight and maining Xlite V3 now, not a fan of the clicks but the shape makes up for it

[fluid ravine]

yeah where my thocc in my mouseclicks >:(

[harsh dove]

This was made before your suggestion Nyumi, don't hurt me

[jade storm]

I love Ergo's

Do your fingernails ever scratch the keycaps?

[harsh dove]

Lmao yeah, that's how I decide when to cut them

[calm pulsar]

that is nice and soft

[harsh dove]

Lubed Lavenders ftw

[hard moon]

what mods and switches and stuff? Really sounds nice

[remote cairn]

Lmao same

[loud zephyr]

just do it, pale pink ftw

[harsh dove]

Frog x POM plate x Hand Lubed NEO Lavenders x Swagkeys Knights Stabs x Silicone Pad

No tape mod or anything in the bottom

[jade storm]

ID on keycaps?

Also, anyone feel a noticeable difference between 1k and 4k polling on a mouse?

[loud zephyr]

pretty syre you already have em, ranked blanks

[fluid ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/noice-nice-click-gif-8843762

[jade storm]

Before I decide to get the 4k polling dongle for my mouse

[hard moon]

[fluid ravine]

I cant hear em >:(

oh wait nvm

[jade storm]

fire bro

[fluid ravine]

need to turn up volume lol

[harsh dove]

Yeah its a lil low

[fluid ravine]

but yea it sounds good

[harsh dove]

I was tryna cut out mic buzz without fully suppressing the keyboard

[fluid ravine]

i da likey

hmmm

[fluid ravine]

was the reason for buzz cus the mic is near the monitor?

[harsh dove]

Yeah I think so

Still working on it

[fluid ravine]

hmm

dynamic mics do be like that

[hard moon]

a difference between 1 and 2k is definitely noticeable, it's just smoother and a bit snappier, but there's basically no difference between 2k and 4k on my sora 4k. Given that the v2 has barely any changes i guess it'll be the same experience

[harsh dove]

Yeah this mic isn't for recording keyboards lmao

[fluid ravine]

yup yup

[jade storm]

So 1k to 4k would feel really nice is what you're saying?

[harsh dove]

it gets the job done for the most part tho

can def be improved

[hard moon]

no, 4k is just a blunder. 2k is the sweet spot imo

[jade storm]

Meh, it's only $20. Might as well get it since I have the mouse.

Xlite V4 coming soon too

[uneven cradle]

The magnesium shell? Looks good

I got a little pulsar collection going

[knotty iron]

on 1440p 360Hz unlimited fps, no I do not

[jade storm]

Fire, chef

[knotty iron]

the only difference I benefit from is (if there is any difference) click latency

[marsh saffron]

240hz ips, I notice a smoothness increase from 1k-2k

But absolutely nothing else beyond that

[marsh saffron]

Smoothness increase is very minimal might I add

[uneven cradle]

Seems it's just a frog mini designed for pro players so they have a lighter keyboard to carry around

And slightly lower typing angle at 5 degrees

[calm pulsar]

why dont they just get a stock 60he then

[uneven cradle]

I'd say this is a bit fancier then the stock wooting case 👀 but yeah this is an alternative

Price should be cheaper given they removed all the brass

[polar girder]

What is this

[uneven cradle]

New version of the frog mini

[polar girder]

The fx-2 or whatever?

Made by geon?

[calm pulsar]

yeah, but tbh I was sad, I thought it would be a re-release of the tadpole mounted frog mini

[uneven cradle]

Na that's different

[polar girder]

O-ring tray mount doesn’t look like frog mini

[calm pulsar]

geon designed these new frogs, they are tray and oring mounted

[polar girder]

Useless

[vivid jasper]

btw, who has these switches? Is the magnet as strong as on the raptors or did they still make it like the Gateron ? (judging by the known GS, same as ks-20) and neo lavander are suspiciously similar to all hejin switches, what kind of magnet do they have, stronger than jades or same? also black knight, is there the same magnet as on raptors?

[median spade]

after gpx user buying two of them

[median spade]

brb going to geon server real quick because W H Y T H O

I just watched his stream and the cad of it

why Geon, whyyyy

[calm pulsar]

ikr

[median spade]

he already had a plate for 60he in korea just not on intl store

like why do this and not just make normal frog mini with plate added to store

oh i see it reduces costs a lot interesting

to be in line with tofu redux, still tho

[calm pulsar]

ugh there's so many tray mounts already

[median spade]

yeah don't get it

like sure it will have tons of brass weights, etc

but it will sound marginally better than other tray mounts as fjell is proof of concept already

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s what I was saying same thing with the optimum case

One piece makes money

Two piece case loses money

[median spade]

optiumum will be the same mounting as 80he at least

[polar girder]

False

[median spade]

oh rip

someone said that in here so i thought it was

[polar girder]

Yeah it’s more similar to 461E

Like a silicone plate pad that makes it friction mount kind of thing

80HE will be full gasket

[median spade]

well 461he is same as 80he so yes then?

[polar girder]

lol no

[median spade]

yeah it's just using a silicone pad for the gasket tabs

looking at the vid from wooting rn

[polar girder]

461e and optimum are both one piece tray mount cases that use a silicone pad to friction mount

[median spade]

same concept with 461he and if the optimum case going to do that

[polar girder]

80HE is two piece gasket mount

[median spade]

let me look at 461he case real quick

[polar girder]

It’s just a tray mount case with some divots for the silicone pad

[median spade]

yeah it still has cutouts so while not exact of 80he concept is 95% of it

i see what they're doing here

still will isolate plate and sound better, or in thoery will

[polar girder]

Yeah maybe help a little bit

Best of the tray mount cases type shit

[median spade]

well if this silicone does it job

it won't be tray at all really

[polar girder]

Fair

[median spade]

I'll still get the optimum case then anyways as best imma get

without going frog mini again etc

[polar girder]

The case itself is still a tray mount ready case

But can alternate mount it

[median spade]

yee

[polar girder]

Same as optimum

I like that they’re making a more consistent friction mount

[uneven cradle]

You mean the new frog mini? Geon took all the brass out, that's probably where most of the money saving is

[polar girder]

I’m over the gummy o-ring friction mount

[polar girder]

lol stop calling it that please

[median spade]

Oh his stream was showing slots for it at least

[polar girder]

[median spade]

well it's called frog mini leggara

[polar girder]

That’s so dumb lol

Ok fine

☠️

[calm pulsar]

frog mini ligma

[polar girder]

They’re lame for that tho

[uneven cradle]

I mean he ain't making the normal frog mini anymore so this is the new frog mini

[polar girder]

I get that. But why call it a frog mini at all lol

It’s just a completely diff case that happens to also accommodate same PCB

[median spade]

frog mini 2.0 but also not at the same time

[calm pulsar]

frog mini c-stock

[polar girder]

Tofu 2.0 vibes

F-stock

[calm pulsar]

at least tofu actually got better mounts lol

[polar girder]

Nah I mean maybe it’s a cool case who knows

Not trying to hate but also kind of hate

[median spade]

I'm even more confused watching this sttream lol

[uneven cradle]

What was his reasoning for the tray mount? I'm not sure why as you said he couldn't have just made it tadpole with an updated plate

I guess for cost cutting

[polar girder]

$$

Yeah

I think they just love the name Frog

And couldn’t let it die

[median spade]

frog came from community and such

well the outside design and all that is still the same

[uneven cradle]

Can buy a 60he module and just chuck it in

[polar girder]

Why you need another case @median spade

“That’s not frog mini”

Just to have another top dog option or what

[calm pulsar]

I think Tenturo sold his frog mini to Cam

[median spade]

indeed

I regretted getting silver

[uneven cradle]

Well the plate inscription looks better at least

[median spade]

but wasn't going to bother searching for black

[polar girder]

Oh gotcha

Doesn’t say Frog tho

Frog mini value about to skyrocket

[uneven cradle]

Na there's a lot of frog minis floating around

[median spade]

yours will hold more value as black hasn't been around for al ong time

[polar girder]

Yeah I hope I like my frog mini lol

Nice

[uneven cradle]

Just get it cerakoted

[median spade]

I thought about that for my silver one came has

CAM

but I like ano much better so didn't

[uneven cradle]

My 60he and 80he bout to be matching

[median spade]

I'll get a 80he maybe when better cases arrive

[polar girder]

I won’t

Too big

RIP me

[median spade]

if they do

which im still not betting on any 80he cases really being made outside if wooting does anymore themselves

[polar girder]

I’m sure someone will

[median spade]

[polar girder]

Or maybe not cuz gasket mount cases don’t make money unless you charge $500

[median spade]

it's just that unlike the 60he it would need to be designed specifically for the 80he

not much money in that tbh

[uneven cradle]

Most high end boards I see are top mount

[median spade]

well older ones yeah

top mount not as prevalent anymore

which good imo as gasket much better

[harsh dove]

Yeah I'm excited for my Protag

Probably throw the Black Jade Knights in the 80HE

[untold wigeon]

I’m partial to this ❤️

[calm pulsar]

@median spade

[median spade]

these the dark jades?

[harsh dove]

It’s a frankenswitch

[median spade]

what be the combo

[untold wigeon]

Dark oil knights?

[harsh dove]

Black Jade bottom and dual stage spring x Black Knight Top x Raptor Stem

[median spade]

what are thes black knights you speak of

[harsh dove]

Gugu Black Knights

[median spade]

oh i see yeee

did they not work as is?

[harsh dove]

They work

[median spade]

[polar girder]

lol

Love it

[harsh dove]

I haven’t tested em

Like fully

[calm pulsar]

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=122292.0

$420😭

[harsh dove]

Okay nevermind, new combo

Gateron Jade stem OP

zero wiggle and no friction

[uneven cradle]

It's a nice board, not my style though. Spend enough money at his shop

[calm pulsar]

this is how I did it yesterday

[harsh dove]

bro

this is the best

hands down

literally can't wiggle it

[calm pulsar]

yeah wobble nonexistent

[harsh dove]

the no friction is blowing my mind tho lol

[polar girder]

Black jade bottom and stem with gugu top housing?

[harsh dove]

nah white jade stem

og gateron jades

[polar girder]

Ah

[harsh dove]

everything else the same as before

[polar girder]

Interesting

[calm pulsar]

btw is black jade stem any different? in gugu top housing

[harsh dove]

yeah its too tight for me still

and has friction

white jade stem doesnt

and has zero wiggle

[calm pulsar]

ohh so original jades ftw

[harsh dove]

yeah

[prime orbit]

How are they compared to the black knights regular? Worth it

[calm pulsar]

damn get me muh module

https://tenor.com/view/rdj-robert-downey-jr-hehe-can't-wait-non-vedo-l'ora-gif-7612716849186797618

[harsh dove]

I don't recommend anyone buy like 3 sets of switches just to make these lol

[prime orbit]

Fair

Lmaooo

[harsh dove]

But if you want to go ahead

[prime orbit]

I’ll just wait till a company makes one like it

[harsh dove]

Just don't want people spending a bunch of money lol

and yeah exactly

[prime orbit]

Nah fair I appreciate you for that lmaooo

[uneven cradle]

Jades still the goat?

[calm pulsar]

with top housing from black knights

[steel hemlock]

👀

[polar girder]

Yo should I throw OG jade stems in the raptor housing? @harsh dove

Jade stem better than leker?

[harsh dove]

Try it

[polar girder]

Need to get the L35’s for next time I open up the switches lol

I don’t have jades

Lolz

[harsh dove]

oh shi

[polar girder]

Like to buy a set for the stem

[harsh dove]

Mmmh idk

[quiet bay]

U got a sound test?

[harsh dove]

Nah , gonna convert them all later, too tired today lol

[tawdry tree]

These are all switches by the same manufacturer: #🔧│keyboard_modding message
The ones I’ve tested all can actuate to 4.0mm a tiny bit before they actually bottom out. I presume the magnets are the exact same. I can’t speak for Lavenders or Raw HEs yet though.

[tawdry tree]

The abuse you gave them, you are the break in machine.

[tawdry tree]

If there’s ever a Gateron switch with a gold stem, it’d be aesthetically maxed out 😂

[harsh dove]

Possibly true

[thorn zealot]

Thought I was done with keycaps

[quiet bay]

keyboard hobby, it'll never end

[calm pulsar]

I found this a couple of days ago, looks funny

[thorn zealot]

This hobby and every other hobby I’m in

Is like chasing that high

[quiet bay]

I'll take this over generic gaming shine through keycaps anyday tho sooo

[thorn zealot]

Cs caps

[calm pulsar]

they're called GMK Gegenschlag

anyone got a black board with black legends

?

please if u do can u show me i’m deciding to get the see through or the black legends

[loud zephyr]

search gmk stealth in the woostatations channel, one guy has it blacked out minus the stock plate

oh, and this one #💬│general message

[stone wharf]

ok

[thorn zealot]

How did my freefall pad get here before my black jades

When I bought my pad a week after the jades

Idk

[loud zephyr]

do it, stealth themes are naice. I like DCS Reaper the most for dark legends

[stone wharf]

oh ok

[calm pulsar]

love it

[cedar fjord]

wats a good site to buy keycaps?

[cold bloom]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[stone wharf]

does anyone own the Wooting Dye-sub PBT keycaps

[unreal stone]

is wooting stab size 1.2?

[fluid ravine]

Wooting's PCB is 1.6, so you would need stabs that support 1.6 if you're buying clip ins or screw ins

[unreal stone]

i fucked up and got pcb mount, what are some good long stem stabs (for jade switches), that offer enough stabs to cover the 60he

[fluid ravine]

Screw ins and Clip ins are type of PCB mounted stabs

[unreal stone]

i got clip ins?

need more because i dont have enough to cover the kb

[fluid ravine]

I personally would recommend testing if the Jades work fine with the current stabs you have as the keycap problem doesn't always happen to everyone, but if you do have that problem the two fixes are buying long pole stabs or use a oring around the stab stem

[fluid ravine]

yep clip ins

[unreal stone]

those wont go into the pcb tho for some reason

[unreal stone]

i put the stock stabs back

[fluid ravine]

Have you tested the Jades on the board with the stock stabs? or you havent receive your jades yet

[fluid ravine]

Prob installed incorrectly

[hard moon]

only in black and yellow

[unreal stone]

just popped em in

[unreal stone]

is there a video on this?

[fluid ravine]

Test if the spacebar works fine

[fluid ravine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcK_8qf-UP8

I dont have knowledge on how to install these as i never tried them but here

[unreal stone]

the spacebar works fine when pressing on either side, but i am experiencing a little bit of rattle (could be due to not being mounted)

[fluid ravine]

then you just got to lube it then

If the spacebar is not coming off from pressing either sides than you should be fine

Rattle should be just fix with a lil bit of lubing

[unreal stone]

is spacebar the biggest offender for this?

[fluid ravine]

Should be yes

[unreal stone]

bet

[fluid ravine]

Most noticeable with spacebar, but you should check on the others as well

just incase

[unreal stone]

ok, thanks for the help man

[fluid ravine]

Yup no problem

[next oak]

Heyo just wondering. Have anyone tried gateron magetic fox switch. It's got hole at the bottom and wondering if the sound similar to l45 or different sound overall

[tawdry tree]

They’re not optimally compatible with Wooting’s boards yet. The KS-20U is essentially the exact same thing and those are perfectly compatible.

Sound is similar to Lekkers, yes.

[next oak]

Hmm i see2

Also, when you get the pc plate kit it comes with silicone plate. Normaly i use foam but how's the silicone sound for the plate?

[tawdry tree]

The PC plate comes with foam and a silicone pad. You can use foam or silicone, whichever you prefer.

Silicone doesn’t mute the sound as much.

[next oak]

Hmm. But does it focuses on the scrunch sound for the wooting. Or just make the wooting slightly louder?

[tawdry tree]

A tiny bit louder but different. It’s better to hear it for yourself. I think Wooting has a comparison on their Youtube channel.

[next oak]

I see2. Thanks a lot

[visual sonnet]

is the right stab messed up? if so, how do i fix it?

[grave badger]

just my experience: cheap gmk clones do not compare to the feel and sound of the original see keycaps that come w the keyboard

[loud zephyr]

I just want my keycaps to feel like medium-rare cooked steak

[jade storm]

Eternal Prosperity

[unreal stone]

i think i put too much lube on the stabs, so they feel a tiny bit mushy. will that solve itself overtime?

[autumn blade]

@unreal stone it does a teensy bit but it won't fix the problem. Personally one thing I did one time is use compressed air and it dried some of it out enough to help but you can also try to pat the sides of the switches with a cloth to get some off.

Overlubing switches is a pain to fix so if that doesn't work watch some YT vids and prepare for a time investment

I'm not a switch lube expert but that's been my personal experience lubing about 4 full size kbs

Hope you are able to fix it without much effort (:

[unreal stone]

does the same hold true for stabs?

still gotta wait for the aluminum case, because ups shat themselves

[pulsar plinth]

Im trying to make my 60 as stiff as possible, does anyone know if there are any integrated plate or top mount cases that are compatible?

[uneven cradle]

Stiffest typing feel

Isn't the stock stiff enough

Steel plate tray mount is pretty stiff

[paper bloom]

Give him titaniun

[pulsar plinth]

I'm used to how "gaming" keyboards feel which have practically 0 flex, I only use this keyboard for games and I prefer how my razer huntsman te feels for them, just placebo but the lack of flex makes me click faster

[paper bloom]

O then change the case

Run the tofu60

Or the psd 60

Or alumaze

Those are hard af to flex in

Only some sides wilp but not the WASD key section

Depending on how u mod it

If u wana run stiffer get a burgermount or

Idk

[marsh saffron]

thought this wasnt compatible

[paper bloom]

It is

[marsh saffron]

ah cam said it needs a special plate or something

thats what i was remembering

[pulsar plinth]

ill take a look at the psd 60 or alumaze

[marsh saffron]

tofu redux 💪

[pulsar plinth]

im probably wrong, but i thought the point of the burger mount was to add more flex

i already have one, i prefer it for typing to gaming tho cause its a bit high

[marsh saffron]

pretty sure its only to isolate the pcb more, you might be thinking of friction mount

[pulsar plinth]

oh ok

[marsh saffron]

ive got my 60he friction mounted in a tofu, loving it

[craggy cipher]

This is the best switch ever. It's not a hype.

[tawdry tree]

Doesn’t fit KS-20 stem though.

But Black Knights stem ❤️

[craggy cipher]

stem rickety test
F1 RAESHA
F2 RAW HE
F3 KS-20U
F4 KS-20T

Franken Switch
F10 RAW HE Top Housing + RAW HE Bottom Housing + Sticky Rice Stem

If the spring is weak, it will not return
F11 RAW HE Top Housing + Sticky Rice Bottom Housing + Sticky Rice Stem
↑It's easy to combine, but the stem is a little rickety at the top stroke

I make the F10 switch

[calm pulsar]

good stuff

Thats 4 the psd60 gaskwt

The normal ones are ok

[marsh saffron]

Ah

[paper bloom]

Im thinkin nout the optimum or the

Frog mini v2

[tawdry tree]

You have Black Knights, LTPs, Raptor HE or Hejin Teal/Yellows? Regular Grain Gold stems (non-boxed) are a bit looser than the new boxed stems. Could be good to try a regular stem too if the boxed stems are too tight.

[paper bloom]

Once geon gets it to woro

Work*

[calm pulsar]

more like frog mini v0.5

[paper bloom]

Yes the down grade

[craggy cipher]

Black Knight: I have the sticky rice (both are the same switch)
LTP: I don't know which switch it is
Raptor HE or Hejin Teal/Yellows: have

[tawdry tree]

Black Knights have an open bottom, that’s the only difference between them and the Rice switches. Have you tried a Raptor HE or Hejin (same) stem in the Raw HEs?

LTPs are those Latenpow Magnetic White/Strawberries. Also exactly the same as Raptor HE/Hejin but flipped magnets.

[craggy cipher]

Only Sticky Rice stems can fit into the RAW HE top housing.
Other stems such as RaptorHE and KS-20 cannot fit because of the protruding sides.

[proper plume]

Just checking the tofu 60 redux is wooting compatible

[velvet egret]

Yes Redux is compatible with wooting

[proper plume]

Ty

And are these also compatible?

[velvet egret]

Yes

[proper plume]

Baash

[polar girder]

That’s what’s up

Exciting

[proper plume]

Bought the board second hand complete I’m gonna take it apart and harvest the pcb and build it in the tofu case

[polar girder]

Nice

Yeah new switches and case will make a big difference

[proper plume]

Looking forward to building it should be here on Friday hopefully

[polar girder]

Nice. Yeah I’m about to rebuild mine in a new case next week. New plate gets here this weekend but I’m out of town.

Then I’ll send the homie @fluid ravine my black PC plate

[proper plume]

U mean a wooting?

[polar girder]

Yeah

[proper plume]

Watch out cause I’ve heard some plates don’t work with it

[polar girder]

I built a custom in a redux then got a frog mini case for it

Yeah it’s a custom plate for the Wooting/frog mini case

Should be good

[proper plume]

Ah ok

Might get a polycarbonate plate later down the line

[polar girder]

It’s pretty different from steel. The steel is a great typing/gaming experience

I love how stiff it is

The PC gets a little more muted sound tho

[proper plume]

I want it for gaming so maybe I will keep to the steel actually

[polar girder]

Yeah I mean they both perform great. I just prefer the stiffer feel.

Steel is much easier to swap switches in IMO also

[proper plume]

The only thing I need to order now is a switch puller

[polar girder]

lol yes.

They are quite helpful

[proper plume]

I could just destroy my lekkers but I think I would get Carple tunnel

[tawdry tree]

Oh I know what you mean. Bummer but thanks for testing!

[vivid jasper]

Thanks, that's basically what I thought. it's a pity that the wooting software for checking switches doesn't show the raw data of the magnet, so it would be much more accurate to separate the switches from each other.

[tawdry tree]

Exactly! I’ve been trying to get that and a few other features like manual calibration considered but no success yet sadly. Maybe someday though!

[vivid jasper]

I'm still confused why the most advanced keyboard doesn't have manual calibration and raw data! even the cheapest devices already support these functions and both magnet polarities o_o

[tawdry tree]

Not the highest priority I assume but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that every board with manual calibration is quite a bit more accurate than Wooting’s boards.

[hard moon]

why should they support manual calibration and polarity? 90% of those who buy a Wooting don't even know what a switch is to begin with

[tawdry tree]

Reversed polarity is already supported and the benefits of manual calibration outweigh the one con by a long shot.

Tbh, I think they already have something like Analog Monitor to show the raw data as it would be crucial for testing.

[hard moon]

maybe there should be 2 versions of Wootility. Wootility for the plebs and WootAlity for the advanced idiots who like to fiddle with everything

[vivid jasper]

strange question, you have one of the most advanced communities on magnetic keyboards and switches here! it's mostly wooting customers who try all the new products and experiment, and they don't even have the simplest tools for this, which are even in the cheapest devices for 15 bucks lol. yeah I think you should have added such a version of Wootility long ago or just a toggle somewhere deep in the settings 🙂

[tawdry tree]

Well, manual calibration would be starting it and pressing each key once. A “switch selecting” option wouldn’t be necessary (this is planned to come in a future update) so it’s really not an advanced thing.

[vivid jasper]

Yeah I've read about it more than once in chat, but without manual calibration it's useless. For example, new kailh are very good switches, much better than ks-20, but they do not work properly without manual calibration as written here. Btw, what else about the switch move itself? Since they always have approximate values, why not add the ability for "advanced idiots" to set their own switch stroke? It would be much more accurate in combination with manual calibration 🙂

[tawdry tree]

I wouldn’t say useless as it’s just a difference in magnet strength that causes the issues (you can use some reversed polarity switches with stronger magnets just fine). A switch select option could resolve it but the issue with that is that you’d need so many different switch options to make everything optimally compatible. At that point letting the user set the value would be easier but that’s problematic too. None of that would be necessary with manual calibration, the slider would just indicate 1 - 100% (of actuation depth) instead of 0.1 - 4.0mm. Hope that makes sense. 🙂

[vivid jasper]

Yes you can use such switches, but no one here does it, because it still doesn't work adequately without calibration. From what I'm reading, people are looking for a switch with a magnet close to the strength of the Gateron. 0.1-4 mm will still be there, the software needs to rely on some value of the switch travel, even keyboards with manual calibration have some programmed value of the switch travel. That's why I say that it is necessary to set the switch stroke manually, if it differs from the factory, because otherwise the keyboard can not determine the stroke of the switch and the values set in the software will be kind of stretched.

[tawdry tree]

Basically, when manual calibration is initiated, the board records the values of a switch at its resting position, at bottom out and in between. With that, a stroke setting wouldn’t be required unless you want to set the actuation point in millimeters rather than percentage. <- I think it wouldn’t be possible for the board to “measure” how far a switch has been pressed (in millimeters) by value alone. Example: The board reads a switch at 120Gauss (resting position) and at 905Gauss (bottom out), I don’t think it could convert those values into millimeters. Percentage would work perfectly fine however. That’s why a stroke setting would only be necessary if you want the actuation point displayed in millimeters rather than percentage.

(the raw value that the board reads isn’t in Gauss but that’s just for the example (cause I don’t know the raw values))

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1218711184925134869 the HM66 has a stroke setting exactly like that.

[vivid jasper]

Yes, I immediately understood what you mean, just I have not seen such a keyboard where it was implemented. Everywhere they use millimeters rather than percentages and rely on a single value of the switch travel.

[tawdry tree]

Yes, I think because millimeters are preferable as they make the most sense. The only keyboard that uses percentage instead of millimeters is Wooting, kind of. 😂

In Wootility it’s displayed as millimeters but percentage is used believe it or not. 😂😂

[vivid jasper]

Yes, I already read your thread 🙂 But quite a lot of time has already passed and it’s unlikely that Wooting will introduce some changes lol, as long as Wooting is considered a leader, all these proprietary things will be in force. Hemu is a really cool board with manual calibration, sikakeyb also use their board.

[bitter geyser]

Is possible to noico/kilmat mod the plastic case for the wooting 60he? appreciate any help even with measures of the inside part of the case and space available to work with foams or sound dampening

[polar girder]

Yeah should be fine

https://www.amazon.com/Kilmat-Sound-Deadener-License-Plate/dp/B0BBCZBVZ3/ref=asc_df_B0BBCZBVZ3/

That’s what I bought

Then just used cardboard to create a stencil for the case

[quiet bay]

HAHA YES I FINALLY GOT MY CERAKEYSS

[bitter geyser]

yeah i already modded other othes with noico, was just curious since i cannot find proper measures of the inside height of the plastic case to check how that mod could work, appreciate the tip tho XD

[quiet bay]

Shinyy

[calm pulsar]

for the sound, its def an upgrade, nice

[quiet bay]

Yeah I love the sound

It is in fact slippery as they say

And I thought my pbt keycaps were slippery lol

its bootifool

Hey why you skip the enter key >:(

Your spacebar doesn't sound pingy as any cerakey would sound, damn u got the magic bar

Dream come true and successful

👏 am proud and happay

..ermmmm

because

there are no stabs on it LOL

but ok I will record it

[fluid ravine]

..

right-

forgor...

[quiet bay]

no stabs 😂

[fluid ravine]

Delete it. sry for asking

LOL

[quiet bay]

LMAO

[fluid ravine]

Wait pochi why not swap it with the right shift?

[quiet bay]

that's why I didnt include it 😭

[fluid ravine]

yeah shouldve just swapped it with the right shift

[quiet bay]

well then the right shift would be a bigger seesaw xd

[fluid ravine]

who even uses it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fluid ravine]

[quiet bay]

I'll tune the stock wooting stabs...

one day

when I feel like it

so that I can put it in

[fluid ravine]

lel

buy new stabs fr

[quiet bay]

I think my stabs r pretty good

any stab good if tune right

I think the cerakeys were worth it tho 🤤

the sound is so nice

[polar girder]

Yeah it does sound great

[fluid ravine]

indeed

[polar girder]

Switch tape mod and cerakeys

WINNING

[fluid ravine]

goatedddd

frrrrrrr

guess you saved yourself alot of moni now

except you bought a bike and that...

haha-

[quiet bay]

uh....

[fluid ravine]

👀

[quiet bay]

for exercise trust

[fluid ravine]

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[quiet bay]

I would bike to school if I was allowed to

[fluid ravine]

now buy 100g springs for finger workout

[quiet bay]

I mean I was actually thinking "What happens if I replaced all my springs with 100g springs" yesterday

[fluid ravine]

lol

[quiet bay]

It does feel a little bit lighter to type on now

60g spring is holding the spacebar up just right c:

[fluid ravine]

:>

[quiet bay]

I wonder how they'd sound with neo lavenders...

oh yeah I think I got used to the slipperiness now

idk how they'd feel if I was sweating but they feel cool

[untold wigeon]

@quiet bay looking good! After a while the spacebar spring will break in and get very sensitive. I’d suggest an 80-100g spring. It’ll help give it a much better feel.

I’m seriously jealous of your spacebar. It sounds so much better than mine

[quiet bay]

Switch tape mod and deskmat for the win!!

wait let me try doing this on just my desk

[quiet bay]

I think it's just the amount of mods that make the spacebar sound good

[fluid ravine]

moleskin :D

[fluid ravine]

Deskmat ftw

desk reverb go bye bye

pochi the pcb raise tho

oh my dayssssssssssss

[quiet bay]

we dont talk about that

its a great sacrifice..for the sound 😤

[untold wigeon]

Is the spacebar supposed to be backwards?

[calm pulsar]

yeah I noticed that raise too xd

[quiet bay]

I prefer it that way

[untold wigeon]

Oh nice. Enjoy!

[fluid ravine]

Pochi has Wooting foam+Polyfill

[mellow leaf]

why is your spacebar flipped? it just looks so wrong to me

[polar girder]

Cuz it feels better

More natural positioning IMO

I do the same thing. Just without the cerakrys lol

[harsh dove]

I did flipped spacebar for one game in particular then I just switched my keybinds and put spacebar back to normal

[mellow leaf]

so you do like breaking your stems...

[harsh dove]

I’ve never broken a stem in my life lol

[polar girder]

lol yeah what is that

[mellow leaf]

ok

[primal pollen]

Has anyone tested the Neo Lavenders to see if they have any issues with the wooting PCB?

[mellow leaf]

nope

what about the steelseries omnipoints?

[harsh dove]

No issues

[primal pollen]

Thanks!

[uneven cradle]

Omnipoint are proprietary and not hotswappable

[mellow leaf]

:i_caca:

i forgot i lost my nitro

[cold bloom]

@harsh dove I put some super lube on my L60 springs finally, I never did really lube them properly when I did the switches originally and I think it made a huge difference lol

still pretty clacky with the silicone pad but I still haven't gotten around to grabbing some poly fil

Might go later today/evening

[fluid ravine]

Whats your config

[cold bloom]

I have the 60he non +, salvation case burger mounted, jades with L60 springs, abs keycaps

silicone pad

[fluid ravine]

ah

[harsh dove]

Did you lube the top housing at all

[cold bloom]

No I thought about it

but I was too tired after taking all the switches apart and had limited time lmao

[harsh dove]

Fair enough

[static tendon]

Not if this would cause issues but has anyone ever tried using magnetic usb c cables?

I like the idea of super quickly detaching the cord from the keyboard and wanted to try it but was wondering if it’s maybe better to avoid?

[uneven cradle]

Probably fine

Test it out and see

[quiet bay]

The rgb shinethrough is nice

[restive jay]

Anyone willing to look at some keycaps I'm thinking about getting for my wooting module?

[static tendon]

https://tenor.com/view/mine-gif-18338748

[fluid ravine]

Are you gathering opinions for like keycap themes or what not

[restive jay]

There's 2 sets I'm looking at, one from Amazon and the other is from kbdfans.com
and there's a $5 difference between them

[fluid ravine]

Alright sure

[harsh dove]

Links?

I'm automatically going to lean towards the KDBfans ones tho

[restive jay]

[fluid ravine]

KBDfans 💯

[marsh saffron]

These for sure

[harsh dove]

Yeah definitely the KBDFans ones

[fluid ravine]

no comment

[harsh dove]

They're 1.7mm thick Dye Sub PBT and the Amazon ones are Pudding Dye Sub and doesn't even mention thickness

[fluid ravine]

thocc

[restive jay]

2 main reasons I was looking at the amazon ones:

1. Cyberpunk style
2. Unique design XD

[harsh dove]

Yeah you can find that all over amazon or with Dye Sub in general

allows for more designs

[restive jay]

kbdfans it is then 😄

[harsh dove]

Plus cherry profile better

Plus you also get a way fuller base kit with KBDFans vs the Amazon ones

[restive jay]

I'm planning on getting the Jade Hall effects switches on amazon, they're $55 for 70 switches

[marsh saffron]

I wish lavenders were available on deskhero

[harsh dove]

Check Aliexpress

might be around $40

[restive jay]

Isn't that like a long wait though?

[harsh dove]

Nah can be faster shipping sometimes tbh

and cheaper

[quiet bay]

I wanna bring my keyboard to school when it starts lmao 🤤

but it's not silent so that'll be a problem

[loud zephyr]

just wear earplugs so you don’t hear it

[cold bloom]

magine sitting in the back of a lecture hall and just pulling out a super clacky keyboard

like an echoey lecture hall LMAO

[hard moon]

@harsh dove what mix of switches did you go for again for the 0 wobble btw?
