[harsh dove]

Speaking of which... ima go convert more of them rn

[hard moon]

gonna be a quite expensive order of switches for me tho...

because i've ordered 210 Jades yesterday already

[harsh dove]

Yeah I don't recommend anyone spend that much money just to make a switch like that but if you really want to, I won't stop you lol

Black Jade stem also works the same technically, just for me I found it had too much friction

Even tho it should be the same stem as regular Jades

[cedar gate]

What switch is it a franken?

[harsh dove]

Basically Black Jades and Black Knights

Black Jade Bottom, Spring, Stem and Black Knight Top

[tulip rapids]

is that factory lubed (wooting warehouse )or you made changes to it? keyboard looks beautiful man

[quiet bay]

Thanks c:
They're lekker60s that are switch tape modded with 3 layers

and also lubed

[tulip rapids]

nice

i love that thock sound bro and its not loud either

10/10

[quiet bay]

yeah im glad i got cerakeys on sale

I wish they included a black \ | keycap with the B set tho

[fluid ravine]

they dont? D:

[untold wigeon]

Sadly, no. They know what they’re doing. Gotta sell keycaps.

[cold bloom]

That was better than I expected it to be even

[quiet bay]

Oh yeah @tiny summit I got the ceramic keycaps. After a bit of use you’ll get used to the texture, well atleast in my case I did. They are fingerprint magnets but not rlly noticeable without light. Black is the most noticeable for me though

Rlly easy to wipe off

Sounds great

[harsh dove]

Ended up just swapping black jade bottom and springs

[quiet bay]

Holy smokes

They’re lined up like an army

[harsh dove]

lol

[hard moon]

an army of wonderful switches

[thorn zealot]

I wish I had my black jades

Even though I don’t even have the module

[tiny summit]

@counter0010 thank you Pochizo!😁 I'm just really hesitant about getting some because I'm hoping they will release a matte coated version/different font style/more colors like a crazed black or white, I don't want to spend over 100$ twice😅

[fluid ravine]

bleck

armi

[quiet bay]

Take your time, there’ll always be another sale

Although I think it’d be a pretty long time

Before they ever release more color variants

or a matte version

[fluid ravine]

matte :0

[quiet bay]

Tbh I do want a matte version too but shiny is fine for me

I like it since it’s consistent

[marsh saffron]

Don't gotta worry about them shining eventually

[fluid ravine]

LOL

[quiet bay]

Yup! What’s there to shine when it’s already shining

[fluid ravine]

me over here trying my best to prepare for my gmk to shine as a first time gmk owner

[fluid ravine]

Someones forehead

[marsh saffron]

Pre shined keycaps

[quiet bay]

Isnt there a mod where you can make all ur keycaps shine

[fluid ravine]

uh

yea

[quiet bay]

Voluntarily

[fluid ravine]

yeth

[marsh saffron]

Just hit them with some fine grit sandpaper

Surely it'll fix em

[fluid ravine]

like a even shine on gmk keycaps are beautiful to my eyes

[fluid ravine]

sandblasting be like

[tiny summit]

😆

Honestly, I think the gloss is actually quite luxurious looking, but just wish for more colors.. the one color that really pops for me is the indigo, and white always looks good, but it's difficult for matching color schemes🤷‍♂️

[fluid ravine]

flex test >:D

[quiet bay]

I got no flex 😭

[fluid ravine]

LOL

[fluid ravine]

have you tried just polyfill?

[quiet bay]

I did once but I didnt like the sound

I gutted my pillow for that

And then I “surgically” put the polyfill back in

And by surgically I mean I just fisted all the polyfill back in

[fluid ravine]

😭

should i try tempest with my gmk?

never tried it

ive done uh PE foam mod

[quiet bay]

make the gmk thock

🤔

[fluid ravine]

Increase the volume of the alphas while sounding more deep

but the modifiers were horrible

[fluid ravine]

Wasnt as satisfying

wasnt like a solid umph

[quiet bay]

Damn

[fluid ravine]

more shallow

[quiet bay]

I love my cerakeys they made my board sound so much more satisfying

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

indeed

alr ill get sum tape

[quiet bay]

Oh yeah i think my board got heavier now too xD

Can def kill someone with it now

[fluid ravine]

Mask or Painters

[fluid ravine]

NUH

UH

[quiet bay]

With enough brute force it can 😤

(For legal reasons I need to clarify I’m not going to murder anyone)

[fluid ravine]

pochi masking or painters tape

[quiet bay]

hmmmm

I mean I’ve been using masking tapr

y not, lets go masking tape

[fluid ravine]

k

ye ive been using masking tape as well

Both sounds a bit different on my board

when i had the pbt

[thorn zealot]

U should do masking, then painting, then electrical, then duct tape

[fluid ravine]

no eletrical nor duct tape

i no no wanna

oh wait

[thorn zealot]

I have the opposite

[fluid ravine]

u mean stack them

LOL

[thorn zealot]

No masking or painter

[thorn zealot]

[thorn zealot]

Mine are in Germany

[fluid ravine]

da flip

[thorn zealot]

I got a new mousepad before my switches

[fluid ravine]

[thorn zealot]

I tried playing volleyball with a soccer ball

I mean football

[fluid ravine]

;-;

my arms could never

me doing it with a basketball at one point

pain

[tiny summit]

I can only imagine how heavy mine will be after I get the cerakeys. Wooting 80he with the zinc alloy case and cerakey keycaps 😅

[thorn zealot]

Like why

[fluid ravine]

wait wtf

whats that course ;-;

bro got the hops

[thorn zealot]

China to ny

Then to berlin

And my address is right

[fluid ravine]

@quiet bay deep ah board indeed

[quiet bay]

AHEM…sound test

[fluid ravine]

yup sounds like the PE foam mod but less shitty stabs

all my fans are on D:

You want the sound test with the fans on now as a sneak peak and a full sound test tmr without the fans

[quiet bay]

Now.

[quiet bay]

I put stock stabs for my enter keycap so that it wouldnt be unbalanced

But it sounds crap

Compared to the other ones lmao

[fluid ravine]

yup never mind i got a full sound test

lol my dad just got home

it sound alright to me

[cold bloom]

Okay I think I fuck with the poron pad again more than the silicone lmao

[fluid ravine]

wait @polar girder silent thock yeh?

[quiet bay]

Is it me or does it sound kind of scratchy

[cold bloom]

I have such a love hate relationship with the silicone pad

[fluid ravine]

righttttt

it doess

[quiet bay]

Warning: huge fan noise cause im too lazy to turn it off

My modded stabs compared to the enter key with stock stabs 😭

[fluid ravine]

hmMmmmmmmMmMM

[cold bloom]

sounds great

[fluid ravine]

whoi

[quiet bay]

Poron pad better than silicone 😎

[thorn zealot]

Looked like u were allergic to that enter key

[fluid ravine]

oh shi tanks

didnt think i would get an approval lol

[cold bloom]

yeah I think I agree

[cold bloom]

I just want urs

lmaooo

[fluid ravine]

Ok now thats what your spacebar was suppose to sound like with that enter key

that was the expectation

guess the reality beat expectation

[fluid ravine]

👀

[quiet bay]

Its silent, perfect for school xd

[fluid ravine]

perfect for bigsly heh

[quiet bay]

Sir if my spacebar sounded like that it’d be a warcrime I’d get rid of immediately

[fluid ravine]

but remove the scratch >:(

[fluid ravine]

NO FR THO THATS THE EXPECTATION OF THE SPACEBAR LMAO

Pochi you're lucky 😭

u literally got a Lucky Cerabar

[quiet bay]

My spacebar has the perfect amount of ceramic ping to it 😍

[fluid ravine]

nah fr tho

[quiet bay]

The luck comes when I dont expect it

[fluid ravine]

[thorn zealot]

I played my first game ever since ep 6

[cold bloom]

it's wild how much better my mental is when I don't play val LOL

[thorn zealot]

Act true

[cold bloom]

I love it when it goes well, but the game has been getting more and more frustrating too

[quiet bay]

I went out to touch grass and somehow I played 5x better when I got back on Val

[marsh saffron]

mental buff

[cold bloom]

yeah that happens to me alot too, went to Florida for 10 days, climbed like 4 ranks

[fluid ravine]

real

[cold bloom]

although it was only to plat 2, haven't played much this act

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

Don't touch it if you never tried it

[cold bloom]

^

lmao

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

[quiet bay]

Deadass my mentality did get so much better after taking a rest from Valorant

That stuff makes you toxic

[fluid ravine]

i scared

[quiet bay]

Naw nowadays Im playing something more chill

[fluid ravine]

val got weirdos

[thorn zealot]

Tbh my mental got so much better when I stopped playing any game

[marsh saffron]

rust.....

[cold bloom]

yeah val playerbase now a days is wild

WILD

[fluid ravine]

REAL WILD

[marsh saffron]

rust was to this day the most toxic game ive ever played

[quiet bay]

Now im playing Baldurs gate 3 with my friends 😍

[marsh saffron]

and i sunk 7k hours into that bitch

[fluid ravine]

dude

[quiet bay]

Yeah never gonna touch Rust lol

[fluid ravine]

[thorn zealot]

[thorn zealot]

Mine worth like 90

I have like 4 skins

A 1 bp

[fluid ravine]

[quiet bay]

Same

Atleast I didnt spend over 100

[fluid ravine]

i know people spent more than me but mine is WAY more than enough

[fluid ravine]

i could never..

D:

[marsh saffron]

selling accounts gets you like, a fraction of what you spent

[fluid ravine]

fr

[thorn zealot]

Just become pro Val player and get all the skins for free

[cold bloom]

oh bro I'd lose it if I knew how much I spent on val

[marsh saffron]

never liked selling my own accounts, id only resell others i bought

[cold bloom]

gotta be over 2k at this point

[fluid ravine]

😭

[cold bloom]

I have like 20-25 vandals and phantoms each

[fluid ravine]

we suffer together

[cold bloom]

and like 20 knives

not good

[quiet bay]

Oh lord

[fluid ravine]

never good

so fking expensive

[marsh saffron]

i really dont like val never touched it much

[cold bloom]

I always loved in game cosmetics tho, but val has the best

def wish you could sell them easier tho

[thorn zealot]

Is that a flex or being ashamed

[cold bloom]

both

[fluid ravine]

yeah same

[quiet bay]

I gotta agree the animations r pretty clean tho

[fluid ravine]

I recognized enemy shit really easily and quick on taht game

[thorn zealot]

Ngl cs>val skins

[fluid ravine]

very use to it and also like it

[fluid ravine]

debatable for me

[quiet bay]

nah but some cs skins are way too expensive

[cold bloom]

there's a few cs skins I like but they're meh overall for me

[fluid ravine]

you can sell them no?

[cold bloom]

I have the hyperbeast m4a1s I like that

[thorn zealot]

Yeah that 1 karambit skin

[fluid ravine]

lol

[thorn zealot]

Iykyk

[quiet bay]

Yeah but u better hope ur the one that unboxed it 😭

[fluid ravine]

ermmm

[thorn zealot]

Theres a 1 of 1 karambit worth like over 2mil

[quiet bay]

Damn I’d sell that in a HEARTBEAT

[thorn zealot]

Someone offered 1.5 mil and declined

For being too low

[cold bloom]

insane

I don't get why the skins can get to that kinda money in that game

[thorn zealot]

Ig the odds of it were crazy

[cold bloom]

I get like thousands, maybe tens of thousands like sports memorabilia etc

it just doesn't make sense to me

[thorn zealot]

Like Minecraft dream odds

[cold bloom]

basically gamba

literally I guess

people can't access your steam acc or get it changed after you pass tho, so you better give your family the password to that shit LMAO

[fluid ravine]

OH MY DAYS WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY MY FAMILY COULD USE THAT FOR

[thorn zealot]

Mine would just keep it

Not even spend

[cold bloom]

now that's a flex

[thorn zealot]

Asians love money

[cold bloom]

hahaha

so true

[quiet bay]

Who doesnt love money

money buys me happiness….

[thorn zealot]

I mean we love keeping money

[fluid ravine]

yup-

[fluid ravine]

hey man ima need my shi together

[quiet bay]

Im def going to need a financial advisor in the future with the amount of hobbies I’ll be doing 💀

[fluid ravine]

they jealous of my setup and peripherals, i jealous of them having a house

[thorn zealot]

I’m taking 2 finance classes next year

The one I took last year didn’t help

[quiet bay]

I hope I do something I like in the future

N possibly make good money from it

[thorn zealot]

“Split ur money 50/30/20”

Too late

More like 10/80/10

80 being wants

[quiet bay]

Gonna be me in the future right there

[thorn zealot]

That’s me rn

[quiet bay]

All of that into my setup

[fluid ravine]

[thorn zealot]

Ur spending 0

That’s good

[jade storm]

0 on rent 100% on microtransactions

[fluid ravine]

should pay me for living there fr

[jade storm]

@fluid ravine

dming you rq

[paper bloom]

I dont think you can cuz of the Steam dollar

• if only u cld put steam wallet into ur own credit card

maybe

[marsh saffron]

Just sell it on a third party market

[torn summit]

i searched every site for europe and i couldnt find a cool purple keycaps so cherry taro it is

[paper bloom]

Na too high risk

I got a dudr who went 3rd party

Sold his shit for 200 Usd

Rn his money is still in

[paper bloom]

And he cant bring it out

[proper plume]

Buy cs skins then sell on cs float and cash out that way

Only issue is he has to wait a week for trade lock

U will lose a bit too cause steam market prices r inflated but it’s worth to be able to cash out

[paper bloom]

not wrong

[knotty iron]

Gateron uploaded a video comparing the Magnetic white, dual rail orange and jade switch right now

[paper bloom]

Nice

[paper bloom]

Ive updated more stuff in #1234889215586734241

[proper plume]

Nice but doesn’t that case look good but won’t sound as nice no?

[proper plume]

Also jealous of your mouse I tried to pick one up second hand but the bid went up to retail

[hybrid light]

the sound doesn't change much, and yes I too had trouble getting the mouse, only after the 4th drop

[polar girder]

Sick combo dude. Nice.

[polar girder]

Just need some black skeleton keycaps lol

[dawn radish]

Hello im looking for help i want to buy costume keycaps what type of keycaps do i need or what should i look for to be compatible with 60he+?

Compatible with Cherry MX is good for the 60he+ or no?

[little glen]

mx compatible works yes

most keycaps you can buy are mx compatible

[dawn radish]

oh so if the keycap is compatible with mx is good for the keyboard?

[little glen]

yes

[dawn radish]

Thanks for helping out.

[cursive blaze]

sick, how do you like the case so far, thinking about buying myself this one too

[proper plume]

Just found out I have to wait ten days for my case and switches rather then the advertised 3 faaaac

Problem is u can’t get stuff like this in the uk

[polar girder]

Being grateful you have the opportunity to get what you need at all.

[proper plume]

True

[polar girder]

Like I had to pay out the ass for some tadpoles that ship from Australia but at least they’ll get here eventually lol

[calm pulsar]

sometimes its rare in custom keeb hobby

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s why I just had to order all those tadpoles lol

[hybrid light]

https://fr.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-holy60.html?spm=a2g0o.home.search.0

😉

[little glen]

the holy 60 looks so damn cool

[hybrid light]

https://kbdfans.com/products/holy60

[thorn zealot]

How do I give a review on somethin they didn’t give me yet

[little glen]

dont review it

i think emails like this are super counterproductive cause youll get a bunch of reviews that are just 1 star "i didnt receive the item yet"

[tawdry tree]

“1 ⭐️. Product hasn’t arrived.”

[little glen]

i hate reviews like that

unhelpful af for everyone

[thorn zealot]

My last update was that it left a facility in ny

Over a week ago

[tawdry tree]

Their auto send system sends the mail faster than the product ships. Just an oversight.

It’s fine probably for local customers

[thorn zealot]

Idk where my switches act are

On usps it said it left ny

But on shop it said it’s in Germany

[tawdry tree]

Why ny?

Where tf u from?

😂😂

[thorn zealot]

I’m in ma

[tawdry tree]

Why would they go to germany

prob bug or smth

[thorn zealot]

I ask myself the same thing

[tawdry tree]

😂😂

[thorn zealot]

It supposedly left ny a week ago

[tawdry tree]

Mr. WorldWide keyboard switches 🔥🔥

[thorn zealot]

How long does it rly take to go from ny to ma

U can fucking drive between them

[tawdry tree]

walking? cycling?

[thorn zealot]

It prob takes longer to fly than drive

[torpid crow]

is reverting my 60he back to stock keycaps and case the keeb equivalent of having a breakdown and shaving your head

[proper plume]

Pretty much

[torpid crow]

for anyone using the pc plate with gateron jades, do you guys prefer foam, silicon, or foamless?

[polar girder]

lol no

Both the stock keycaps and case are solid

Stock case is a great alternative from every other aluminum case out there

Wonder how it compares to an acrylic case tho

[harsh dove]

Silicone or nothing personally

[torpid crow]

acrylic case feels a lot clackier/poppier

[polar girder]

Gotcha

[floral jacinth]

Wooting 60he+ Custom Build; Alumaze60 Gri alu case , Gateron Jade handlubed switch , Wooting white pbt keycaps.
Switch ler 205g0 ile stabler 205g2 i
or should I take wooting80 he?

[polar girder]

60HE over 80HE is mostly a preference of form factor and/or you like the 80HE case

[floral jacinth]

I used 60he+ as a stock, but I didn't use it for a very long time, like 1 week A little small, but it's a matter of getting used to it.

[fluid ravine]

Good afternoon Lads

[median spade]

did the guy who you bought yours from lose them???

[median spade]

if you dont' care agbout layhout get 80he

it's objectively better

[polar girder]

He had a couple frogs and sent me full 80a

[polar girder]

Agreed

[polar girder]

But I wanted to try others

Did it come stock with all of them?

I just got case, set of 80a and the frog mini

Does it change sound at all or just feel?

I still have to buy the hex wrench before I put this thing together next week

Plate should arrive tomorrow but I’m not home until Sunday

[harsh dove]

Both

Harder = More clack basically

[cold bloom]

I wonder if you could 3d print like little lattice blocks or those tadpoles easily

would be cool to print diff hardness mounts for diff cases easily, I'm sure you could

but would be a rough startup if it's just a hobby lol

[median spade]

I was going to say 70a (the one should be included) is fine enough to not buy more from austraila

but 80a is rough

I lied 80a is inclouded

[polar girder]

lol right

[harsh dove]

I thought it included 3 sets

[cold bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/when-the-banana-sells-a-million-dollars-gif-11873212726979639512

[polar girder]

YeH I’ll try the 50a with PP plate

For max thock

[harsh dove]

I’m running 60a with none on the spacebar

[polar girder]

I’m scared pp too soft and I fk it up

Even PC plate had me scared NGL

[polar girder]

None on the space bar huh?

[harsh dove]

I doubt it’s softer than wooting pc

[polar girder]

Curious

[cold bloom]

wooting pc plate is so soft

[polar girder]

Fair

[calm pulsar]

you can't fk anything with soft pp

[polar girder]

Yeah dude. So soft

[cold bloom]

I always forget how soft until I take my switches out by hand in it lmao

[polar girder]

Ok good point. I’m calm now. No fear. Soft pp is here

[cold bloom]

soft pp is wild bigsly

[harsh dove]

Yeah was Nix suggestion

Spacebar is the most annoying part of the frog mini imo

[polar girder]

Yeah what’s up everyone talking about frog mini space bar

See! Lol

Why how

Weird

[harsh dove]

I think it’s partly because of the feet they use

[cold bloom]

the longer feet?

[harsh dove]

Yeah same as tofu

[cold bloom]

I've heard they change the sound but wasn't sure how

[harsh dove]

Those things suck

[cold bloom]

my tofu just has those 4 dot feet

but it's an og tofu

[harsh dove]

Yeah the redux has strip feet

[cold bloom]

righttt

[calm pulsar]

freebird60 is supposed to have long feet but I have 4 shorter ones in each corner lol

[harsh dove]

Bumpons are way better imo

[cold bloom]

could you just take the frog feet off?

or not your style

[harsh dove]

Yeah I’m going too once my bumpons come in

[polar girder]

I have the bumpons on mine. No strips

[cold bloom]

oh fair

I was just thinking nothing if you use a deskmat or something

but that's cool

[harsh dove]

Even with deskmat the spacebar is bad with strip feet

[cold bloom]

I wonder what it would sound like with a deskmat and the feet completely removed tho I mean

[harsh dove]

I even tried stacking two mats

Still ass

[cold bloom]

not sure if it would help

[polar girder]

lol

[harsh dove]

It’s better if you remove the feet yeah

But then keeb slides around

[cold bloom]

yeah fair

[polar girder]

Yeah I have no strip feet. Guess I’m good to go

[cold bloom]

I have a poron deskmat so usually my keeb doesn't move much once it's set down

[harsh dove]

Yeah you should be fine

[cold bloom]

but the salvation does have the 4 feet to help with that

I just find it kind of sinks into the poron lol

[polar girder]

Yeah my mouse pad has dents from stock Wooting case feet

So bumpons on aluminum will prob be even bigger

[cold bloom]

yeah when I use the tofu and move it you can see 4 dimples lmao

it's kinda funny

[calm pulsar]

damn didnt think it would have that much of an effect

[harsh dove]

Yeah unless it’s just me lol

Everyone’s experience is different

[hard moon]

where's the sound test of your modded switches?

[harsh dove]

Not up yet

I installed them tho

[polar girder]

I think I’m gonna try pp plate, kilmat, silicone plate pad, 50a tadpoles first

[median spade]

Just 80a and the ones I sent you I bought extra

[calm pulsar]

oh with black jaderinos?

[harsh dove]

Ah okay , goat

[polar girder]

Then try without plate foam/pad

[harsh dove]

These

[cold bloom]

I tried mine without any foam in the salvation it was so loud lmao

the silicone pad kinda compliments that case well but I don't love it

[calm pulsar]

gugu stem and upper and black jade lower?

[harsh dove]

Yeah and black jade springs

Dual stage

[calm pulsar]

I thought it was kinda wobbly, but rebound sounded quieter

[harsh dove]

I think it’s just the box stem tbh

Like yeah there’s a little wobble but it’s not like og lekker wobble

[calm pulsar]

true, I have og lekkers and they've got moving upper houses lol

let alone wobbly stems

[polar girder]

lol yeah that’s what I love about the l45 switches

They have an unparalleled freedom of movement

[thorny aurora]

what stock switch the best

[polar girder]

I think the consensus there is probably gateron jades

But largely personal preference

[calm pulsar]

I remember someone mentioning gugu stem fitting into geon raw HE switch

[harsh dove]

Interesting

Only reason I don’t have those is cause I’m not paying $60 shipping for $25 switches

[polar girder]

That’s toxic

[harsh dove]

Yeah they can kick rocks

[calm pulsar]

maybe they'll be on AE like raptors some time soon

[harsh dove]

Hopefully

Geon needs to stop only selling in Korea

[polar girder]

The raptors weren’t that bad for me

Still stupid tho lol

[calm pulsar]

well its not like you can buy them anyways lol

[polar girder]

Whoops! Lol

[harsh dove]

Yeah they just shipped em all out

Now just hoping they pop up on 3rd party stores

[calm pulsar]

yup

[median spade]

Hmm my shipping from geon usually shows like $25 if it’s not a keyboard

[harsh dove]

I’m almost positive it’s cause of where I live

But I even tried getting it shipped to my job and same cost

[median spade]

[harsh dove]

So my whole town is just a “fuck you we tax your shipping town”

[median spade]

Interesting

[harsh dove]

Yeah it’s ass

Also because companies like DHL pick and choose when they wanna charge me an extra $30 for shipping when they decide to label it as “hard to reach location”

Sometimes it’s an extra $30 sometimes it isn’t

I’m like how do yall decide this shit

[median spade]

oh well DHL for your area i get

they wpicky about certain places

hmm yeah even where im at in colorado for the summer has smae issue

wild

[harsh dove]

lol yeah it’s stupid

[median spade]

looks like denver is only spot where it doesn't apply

[polar girder]

Yo has anyone done that magnet/sensor test with raptors?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[polar girder]

I’d like to see some actual data on those magnets sucking

[harsh dove]

Everywhere else is considered hard to reach

[harsh dove]

They don’t suck

Just too strong but they work fine tbh

I’ve never had an issue with them

[hard moon]

D20 rolls

[harsh dove]

They just feel more sensitive

[hard moon]

everything more than 1 is a 30 bucks extra

[harsh dove]

Yeah I just don’t get why they sometimes charge $30 and sometimes don’t

[hard moon]

as said, it's a D20 roll

[harsh dove]

Seems like it lmao

My shipping prices are like rolling in Baldurs Gate 3 ig

[tawdry tree]

They do. It’ll probably be like KS-20 stem in Raptors but we’ll see in a couple days. 😊

[median spade]

nvm

just where you're at

[tawdry tree]

They’re cheap switches: 😌
Shipping: 😐
Import: 😔

[median spade]

import never heard of her

https://tenor.com/view/america-hurricane-happy4th-of-july-america-flag-independence-day-gif-21259025

[harsh dove]

Yeah it’s stupid

Look at this bs

Shits a scam if you ask me

[polar girder]

lol

[harsh dove]

And people say Americans get the best shipping

Yeah right

[median spade]

Usually we do

[harsh dove]

For $57 I better receive that shit the next day with a large breakfast

[calm pulsar]

this can't be ordered without the frog I think

[harsh dove]

They can

Bigsly just ordered 3 sets

[calm pulsar]

I think he did from cafege?

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah from aus

Either way it doesnt change shipping

Its the same cost for the Raw HEs

[polar girder]

Yeah idk if they have raw HE tho

They don’t

They have raptors but no raw

[harsh dove]

Yeah it’s only $17 shipping for me from cafege too

Geon just need to use someone else besides Scammer DHL

[polar girder]

lol yeah so DHL is the culprit

[harsh dove]

Yeah I’m assuming it has to do with brokerage fees

Either way

Scammers

[untold wigeon]

If you think they are bad don’t ever order from X-Raypad. Those guys are ridiculous!

The skates weigh nothing. It’s insane!

[harsh dove]

Is that standard shipping?

Like the cheapest option is $42?

[uneven cradle]

It be like that sometimes

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-james-walk-out-exit-leave-me-alone-leaving-gif-17626971102629501219

[polar girder]

Gd

[untold wigeon]

Yeah @harsh dove cheapest option is $42 for something that weighs less than a gram.

[harsh dove]

customs and brokerage fees ig idk enough about the ins and outs of shipping but a lot of it seems fishy/scammy to me tbh

and a lot of it seems like it hurts the buyer and the seller

so doesn't really make sense

nobody is winning

except the shipping company

[untold wigeon]

Seriously. I always end up buying their stuff from Lethal Gaming Gear. So much cheaper.

[uneven cradle]

My screenshot is from lethalgaminggear

[untold wigeon]

I have a mouse problem and I only like the skates from X-Raypad obsidian.

[uneven cradle]

I've never seen shipping that bad anywhere else tbh

[harsh dove]

Someone's gotta be scamming the system lol

Someone is winning from all this

[uneven cradle]

Luckily a more local store stocked it eventually

[harsh dove]

this guy is CEO of DHL

F this guy

lol

He looks like he takes candy from babies

Well atleast it is unique

Ok 1. Damn
2. thats sick

Need a sound test fr

[remote cairn]

I wouldn't be able to throw $100 in a set to burn it

That would hurt, even a set that I don't burn it hurts me to buy it for $100

[fluid ravine]

Bro burned $40 off of that set

🔥

[loud zephyr]

didn't you say you were going to put your keycaps in the oven?

[remote cairn]

I don't know how much this GMK set is, but they're usually $180 something

@quiet bay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRSnfP8bGrE

[quiet bay]

You gonna do this after your gmks get unevenly shiny? xd

[fluid ravine]

hail no

[calm pulsar]

natural shine is nice, it shows a well used board imo

[fluid ravine]

ye

[fluid ravine]

i mean tbh this is not a bad idea at all to what i think

i mean if i were to have to

then ig

still looks good in my eyes

from the vid

i cant imagine how this would take but oh well

[cold bloom]

I put my silicone pad back in

I need to be stopped

can't stop modding

won't stop

it's just so satisfying with this case

[quiet bay]

o damn

that's quite quiet

it's poppy

[quiet bay]

tbh im growing onto the shine rn

but the only thing that triggers me

is no black backslash

[calm pulsar]

oh lol I thought you chose not to put it on

sucks that it's not included

[quiet bay]

no they just dont include one in the b set

so on a 60% keyboard it looks so weird to me

even though the layout isnt really symmetrical I want it to look atleast symmetrical lol

tbh my old set didn't include a black one for the backslash either but I found one that was the same size but different row

so it looks weird to me now that i have a white backslash

[cold bloom]

yeah I put a keebmat under my keeb then have my deskmat lol

I also am trying to get better and not typing super fast/heavy when I do typing tests sometimes I can't help it lol

[fluid ravine]

I miss the old days :>

[median spade]

Alpha pipe is best

[cold bloom]

I feel like if this was just an art piece this goes hard af, if it's for daily use I feel like there was probably a better way to go to get some kind of similar aesthetic without cutting your fingers constantly lmao

mayzell make a full keyboard with pyramid keycaps at that point

[jade storm]

can't wait to get one

feel like it would tie the whole setup together too, ultra clean

fuck all this @fluid ravine should I wall mount my monitor?

i also need to add tips on how to add more light to my setup

[polar girder]

I need a light behind my monitor

Just aimed down

None of that weird color led with the monitor shit

[jade storm]

not aimed down

aim it torward the wall

[polar girder]

Like those light bars they put on the front but behind the monitor

Yeah we prob need two different things

[jade storm]

show me what you mean

[polar girder]

Idk

Maybe I just need strip LED on White on bottom of monitor or something

[polar girder]

I just game in dark environment. And want light on my keyboard but not everywhere

Yeah that’s not quite what I want

Looks cool tho

[jade storm]

try to find what it is, i'm interested in what you mean

oh i think i get you

like those monitor lights that go on the top but on the bottom instead

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s part of the problem is that I don’t think it’s really an existing product

Like most people don’t have their monitor in their face and desire light only under their monitor lol

[polar girder]

But yeah pretty much just that

But can’t just mount it to the top and shine on the back cuz monitor arm is in the way and stuff

[jade storm]

that's lowkey smart as hell

might have to get one of those USB light strips

and see if your monitor has a USB port

[loud zephyr]

yeah would probably look better on a display shelf, or have rough/dry hands like a brick layer to make use of it

[polar girder]

Yeah no usb port might just have to run the cable down the monitor arm to PC

[jade storm]

exactly what I did, try it

[desert elbow]

Why not get a monitor light bar that has its own arm

[cold bloom]

the logitech litra beam is great for stuff like this

https://www.logitechg.com/en-ca/products/cameras-lighting/litra-beam-streaming-light.946-000019.html

I use a monitor light bar on my side monitor, but I like this off to the side aimed behind my main monitor but I can turn it towards my desk if I need extra light

the light bar on the litra beam uses a quarter inch thread I think so you could mount it almost any universal mount Im sure somehow

like this

they make a new one with rgb one side, regular light on the other side but the litra beam you could just mount backwards like that

[finite kiln]

what size of stabilizers do i use for the spacebar

OwO

[paper bloom]

6.25u

@finite kiln

[finite kiln]

thjx

thx

<3

[cold bloom]

@harsh dove I tried some diff screws in the salvation I think it kinda fixes the constant retensioning issue or rattle etc

I saw alexotos build of the redemption say they needed washers to make the screws able to go in all the way, and someone commented they used just reg tray mount screws for their salvation

so I burger mounted it with my tofu screws and it sounds a bit more consistent I think

not sure who else it was in the chat that had a few salvations but it is worth a shot

@static tendon

that's who it was

try using some diff screws burger mount

just till you feel a bit of resistance

[paper bloom]

Run a m2x6

Flathead or button head

If not a x5

The m2*5 the * is a x

[spiral canyon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1219653840102494300/1258721241913884712/HEswitchesv4.png

I'll have to rearrange it a bit, it's borderline unreadable

[calm pulsar]

just copped the black jades and some heavy springs less go

[crimson sky]

probably place different ranges of switches next to each other?

[spiral canyon]

Hm... that'd be good idea
Ideally I'd want it for the final chart to be somewhere in 16:9 size

[mellow leaf]

does the PC plate really make a difference when it comes to magnetic jade switches?

[crimson sky]

would probably also help people with understanding what works and what doesn't

[crimson sky]

sounds and feels different

why would it not make a difference?

[mellow leaf]

idk, i would save some swiss francs and keep the steel plate

[crimson sky]

then keep it

if I remembered where I put my PC plate I would offer shipping it to you

but I can't remember

[tawdry tree]

Those Haimu Sticky Rices are around 4mm too iirc. The Rices by Hejin/Grain Gold are 3.8mm, you should add those too and the Latenpow white/stawberries. Both the Kailh Mistral and Flame are not optimally compatible with Woot’s boards. Reverse polarity isn’t the issue, the magnet’s strength is. 🙂

Raptor HE (Same as Hejin Teal and Yellow)
Latenpow White (same as the above but reversed polarity (perfectly compatible with Wooting’s boards))
Black Knight
Raw HE
KS-20 White (Same as Lekker V1)
KS-20 Orange (Same as Lekker V1)
KS-20U White
KS-20U Orange
KS-20T (Jade (same as pink, dashes and amethyst))

[mellow leaf]

thats some testing you got there...

[tawdry tree]

Box stem Neo Lavenders basically. These are by Grain Gold whereas the Sticky Rices in the list currently are by Haimu (JWK I think).

[jade storm]

Black Knights look fire

[tawdry tree]

Raw HEs are compatible, they do reach 4.0mm in Analog Monitor 0.2+/-mm before they actually bottom out. Same (non-) “issue” as Raptors. Nothing firmware can’t fix 😵‍💫

[tawdry tree]

They are!!

[jade storm]

Definitely building with those when I get a second

[tawdry tree]

Raw HEs are a fucking pain to take out though, because of the light defuser. Switch puller can’t get far under the tab because the defuser is there lmao 💀

[jade storm]

that's why I'm getting the module fortunately

[calm pulsar]

can't wait to build using black knights upper housing and jade stem, wobble is really good with this combination

[prime orbit]

Black jade stem?

When you mix them do you have to relube?

[calm pulsar]

currently I have original Jades and their white stem works well

@harsh dove said that black jade stem is actually worse, so I'll probably be using the white jade stem

[calm pulsar]

well black knight housings are lubed with oil, so I'll probably clean them and relube from scratch, including springs etc

[tawdry tree]

Not worse but his Black Jades are brand new whereas his regular Jades are old (broken in).

[calm pulsar]

I see, so I could either use stems from my current jades or break in black jade stems

in time

[prime orbit]

Yeah maybe I’ll stick to not modding my switches 😭😭 this sounds like I’ll break something

[tawdry tree]

Yes exactly.

[tawdry tree]

Hey, the only thing that mustn’t break is the PCBA. You always get spare switches so it doesn’t matter if a few soldiers fall during battle. 😂

[prime orbit]

Breh 😭

[tawdry tree]

🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿

Raw HE’s top housing is slightly tighter than Black Knight’s. This is the tightest you can get without the friction of a stem swap.

Jade’s bottom, Raw HE’s top and Black Knight’s stem. Tighter than a stem swapped Raptor.
Raw HE’s bottom, Jade’s stem and top. Tighter than a stem swapped Raptor.

I’m not sure why the first one is as tight as it is. The Black Knight’s stem slides perfectly fine between the rails of the bottom housing and through the top housing but when closed, not so much.

@harsh dove if you have a min, could you let me know if the Neo Lavender’s stem has that little “rail” on the front that a KS-20 stem has as well? A pic would be fine too.

[crimson sky]

how tight are raw HEs in general?

[tawdry tree]

Tightest yet. It’s just that box stem helps a lot with bottom out wobble.

[crimson sky]

kinda wanna try them

[tawdry tree]

I’d recommend them, definitely. If you don’t like the sound, you can make them open or entirely closed bottom.

With a Raptor bottom and Neo Lavender/Rice respectively.

[crimson sky]

yea I just need to buy 2 sets of switches

[tawdry tree]

Hey if you don’t mind wobble or don’t want to try other switches just get one set 😁

Black Knights are cheap though

Around $0.25/switch.

[polar girder]

I don’t want more stuff on my desk

https://tokyokeyboard.com/tokyo60/

Dang this would be sweet if they had a plate file available

That’s a clean gasket case

Er top mount I guess. Whoops

https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-tokyo-keyboard-tokyo60-keyboard-kit/details?defaultSelectionIds=975915#signupv2

On sale and comes with black on grey keycaps

Sheesh

[crimson sky]

it doesn't have a separated plate

the plate is part of the top case

also a wooting would not support that layout

[polar girder]

Oh gotcha yeah idk anything about top mount. Makes sense. RIP

but you could make a Wooting HHKB just not install those switches, yeah?

[crimson sky]

it's not top mount, it is integrated plate

[crimson sky]

the bottom row is completely different

[polar girder]

Ah gotcha. Noob is me. Thanks

[cold bloom]

I don’t think I have any but I’ll check, I’ll probably grab some this weekend if I have time

[harsh dove]

Gold

That’s what I was thinking tbh

[harsh dove]

Honestly they’re the same, just varies from stem to stem based on how much lube they have on em

And it should be the same stem because they’re basically jade recolors with a different spring

I even tested black jade stem in regular jade top housing and it felt the same in terms of wobble

[tawdry tree]

hard to tell but maybe

[harsh dove]

There is a rail

But it doesn’t stick out like the “leg” does

[tawdry tree]

Yeah yeah

just a little bit

[harsh dove]

Yeah

And it’s only on one side

[tawdry tree]

that’s all I wanted to know ty

[tawdry tree]

Yes exactly

[harsh dove]

It also doesn’t seem to matter how you orientate it in the housing

Because with the “leg” that sticks out you have to have it orientated south

[tawdry tree]

Yes

The thing is with Raw HEs, you can’t use KS-20 or Raptor HE stems in it as the top housing doesn’t have cutouts for those protrusions

They won’t fit.

[calm pulsar]

yeah I thought so
might just use my white stems since Im also planning to lube with krytox

[harsh dove]

Interesting

[calm pulsar]

I still dont get how RAWs sound though

any tests lately?

[tawdry tree]

Quite hard to tell but you can see the cutouts on the Black Knight’s top housing that the Raw HE’s top housing doesn’t have.

[harsh dove]

But lavenders stem would work no?

Since it doesn’t stick out as far

[polar girder]

Now we’re talking.

Love this frankenswitch shit

Yeah so it’s not just the rail also stem type now

Lekker/ks20/raptor vs everything single rail*

[polar girder]

I like that little extra bit

[tawdry tree]

Nah, Lavenders stem is the same as Raptor’s I believe. Only Raw HE’s stem or Rice/Black Knight’s stem (all of them don’t have those protrusions).

[polar girder]

In theory at least

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s RGB window

We are talking about the small slits on the opposite side of the housing

[tawdry tree]

The RGB diffuser fits KS-20s and all Raptor variants perfectly by the way.

[harsh dove]

Those

[tawdry tree]

yes

[polar girder]

Oh the cutouts for the stem there

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[polar girder]

Yeah that seems like it would help close in sound

[harsh dove]

Well it only allows you to use certain stems

[polar girder]

Just trying to think of what would help be the quietest/lowest sound

Yeah I get that

[tawdry tree]

I hope Grain Gold release the Black Knight’s stem with silicone silencers lmao

that’d be end game for me I think

[polar girder]

All black opaque nylon housings with silicone silences black stem

I’m in for 70

[harsh dove]

Box Stem Nixie HE

[calm pulsar]

I remember I also said that this keeb would be cool with a wootie and Tenturo said it's trash

But I do like the shape

[polar girder]

lol yeah I thought it was neat

Little do we know…

I’m excited to get this frog all tricked out then just wait for some endgame switches and keycaps tho

I miight just cop that Cosmos set and say fuck it and be ok with the shine

Although I think PBT might give me a lower sound signature

[harsh dove]

Yes and yes

[polar girder]

lol understood

[calm pulsar]

yeah im getting cosmos for sure

[polar girder]

Yeah they look so good i feel like ill regret it if I don’t

[tawdry tree]

1st: Black Knight vs Raw HE
2nd: Jade vs Raw HE
This is build doesn’t do any switch justice but my main wouldn’t do Raw HEs or Jades justice and I cba to remove the foam and case.

[polar girder]

Maybe I need a good SA profile set

[calm pulsar]

with the frog? hmm

[tawdry tree]

Raw HE sound like louder Jades, not sure how else to describe it. Not really special or something (I’m biased af tho)

[calm pulsar]

thanks, I'll check it in a minute

[polar girder]

Just thinking deeper keycap gives lower sound profile

Or quieter/lower

[calm pulsar]

yeah I mean they're deeper for sure
im just so aesthetically attached to cherry that I don't want any non cherry profiles lol

[fluid ravine]

Morning

[polar girder]

Yeah SA aesthetic not it for me

But might just have to try

Morning bro

Also kind of want to try switch tape mod on stem swapped lekker/raptor and switch to 35g spring

[fluid ravine]

arent the fraken raptors too tight?

[polar girder]

Wait is it just paper medical tape you use?

Nah mine are fine.

It might push it over the edge tho

Maybe I’ll just try a couple.

[fluid ravine]

yep

[elfin garnet]

yes

[polar girder]

Tempting

[elfin garnet]

when are you getting your frog

[polar girder]

I have it

[elfin garnet]

oh nice

[polar girder]

I think plate arrives today

But I’m not home for a couple days

[elfin garnet]

I see. Something to look forward to then

[fluid ravine]

yeyyyy

[quiet bay]

ooo

another frog mini wooting soon? :oo

[fluid ravine]

future frog owner coming soon

yeth

:DD

[quiet bay]

i wonder if I got frog mini and the plate to go with it

would I be rid of my pcb raise LOL

[fluid ravine]

LOL

[fluid ravine]

ofc lol

not gummy mounting anymore xd

[quiet bay]

yez

this white backslash is still triggering me

[fluid ravine]

LOL

paint it fr

heh

[calm pulsar]

damn should i order one of the last frogs or nah

[quiet bay]

Im imagining how much more sexy my wooting would be if it was black 🥺

[fluid ravine]

hmMmmmMmm

[quiet bay]

tbh frog mini is really nice too

[fluid ravine]

yea

[quiet bay]

but you do have to get the plate and stuff

[fluid ravine]

nothing wrong with that tbh

[polar girder]

Yeah it adds up

[fluid ravine]

My indecisive personality kicking in right now

[polar girder]

And what are the chances of only buying one plate?

[calm pulsar]

yeah im liking any kind of switch that is not open hole lol

[fluid ravine]

[quiet bay]

haha I kind of want to try out a PP plate

[polar girder]

That’s interesting. I don’t think I like the closed ones lol

Yeah I got PP
