ouuu baby
there's a frog mini in green with a pcb and an alu plate I think I might grab next week too, not sure yet
depends how much i get paid
LMAO
heh
we just work a lot of hours as residents for not much per hour wise
but it's alright overall
m
Soon I will have my frog mini with pp plate 
i wanna use poron for this flex but i really much prefer the sound of silicone and what it does to my spacebar
my stabs are on life support rn
yeyyy
I think if I get this one I'd try it with some mx switches until I can order a plate
but I think I need one since the new ones are using a diff mounting style
I have the alu plate coming too but i have the old wooting pcb so don't think I can use it
I believe so
Got it from cafege not sure who they came from originally though
Maybe @cyan zodiac would know
ohhh nice I've seen those
@fluid ravine
poron pad?
this was the silicone
I think i still prefer the poron
im with silicone for this one
fair
Love those
I get like a handful a year
My 2nd source of income
What happen
he said he got an alu plate for the frog mini/wooting 60 but I asked if it was from a diff site then he said he got it from ur site, but I think he was tagging you to ask if you knew who made it or something?
not sure
We make the Alu plates
We don't proxy/source from other vendor
Nice

can i use l60s?
No
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
do you know any affordable HE boards
affordable and bang for your buck
Im sure there are also other HE boards
But idk them from the top of my head so u probably wanna search for more on yt or something
Also quick note: Hall effect is achieved by the pcb, not the switch itself
The switch just contains the magnet for the pcb to sense it
Thought this was the case since it didn't say otherwise 
Thanks for the verification
that looks dope gdam
@fluid ravine no foams at all kinda hits...
If I remember, Iāll show it on the 80HE
sure
Iām hoping it looks good on the black zinc
Black zinc? sorry idk anything abt these things š
He is referring to the black zinc alloy case of the 80HE
ah
Goodmorning
Iām not that into keycaps.. but can I ask why is a pair of dualshot costing me $150+ ??
Lots of factors it was run at $120 as a group buy, you're buying it at marked up prices due to limited quantity. It's made in Germany and is top tier in terms of quality
anyone know the profile?
That'd be OEM 
But damn, keycaps are exp like that š
Forgot that import duty exist
Maaaaaan this sucks
Bought some keycaps and had to pay like half their price for the import š
this is why i never order from the US, the shipping + import taxes are always more than the thing I wanna get
D;
Looks like I'm eating Ice Soup for the rest of the month!
I feel ya 
Paid like 80⬠for keycaps and 170⬠for shipping and taxes
Oof that's rough
omg thats crazyyyy
for a oneoff + design prob like 2k
if not more even
just get hali to design you one 
Vala Supply
Support is amazing (I love you Brett
)
But shipping is horrendously expensive to EU
Only found them at Vala and ProtoTypist, but were out of stock there back then https://prototypist.net/products/in-stock-jtk-hsa-pink-powder-keyset?variant=40427805540418
IN STOCK - Ships within 3 working days, all sales final. Ā Details Inspired byĀ Japanese anime Dr Stone's main character:Ā Ishigami Senkuu. The keycap set features many elements from the anime and colours are stayingĀ true to the character. Ā Keyset Specifications Material:Ā ABS Doubleshot Profile:Ā HSA MX Compatible Manufa
Technically you can tell people you have ā¬250 keycaps 
Nonono, I have to at least look like I'm successful at adulting and being financially responsible 
look like are the key words here hehe
š well I hope you like them

daily clack might actually be cheaper with shipping lol
DESCRIPTION Perfectly Pastel A brand new doubleshot keycap profile by JTK, HSA offers the sculpted beauty of the well-known SA profile at a lower height to increase typing ease. Alongside the extremely crisp legends and beautiful colors, HSA is also adorned with a glossy finish to ensure your keycaps will never succumb
With taxes it'd be around the same price
Shipping is cheaper, but keycaps are more expensive
Yeah this and keyboard modding do not jive

Canāt wait for the parts to arrive
Are the keys from Corsair suitable for the wooting 60HE?
Do you mean keycaps?
yes
As long as their mx compatible which I assume they are then they should be fine
because my space bar is too big and the ctrl keys too
I've got a white tofu60 on the way too š¤
what does CYL mean on the keycaps .. š
CYL ?
Thatās the wrong layout then
Are u European by chance?
thats a QWERTZ layout
yeah, i see alot of keycaps on their description they say "GMK Dualshot CYL" for example
Nice I have the white e coating one and the weight bar and the gateron jades on the way
Mines the tofu redux tho
Literally same except I ordered the WS Dashes instead (they're just a recolour of the Jades)
Thanks for the recommendation but the rest of my setup is lavender so i prefer the light purple vxe instead of the deeper purple pulsar, also i cant find the x2v1 on the eu site
how do I know if my keycaps can fit on the keyboard?
Gotcha. No problem š
When GMK released their new profile MTNU, GMK cherry profile is now referred to as CYL (Cylindrical) to distinguish between the two profiles in set naming.
ello!
You'll enjoy them :) Ive been talking here for over a month about mods I want to do and what should I do but I've finally gotten around to it and I'm super satisfied
Stock jades and tofu, still have a lot to do
The only thing I've learned from asking questions and speaking to a lot of different people is that it is genuinely just preference lol
I was looking to get my hands on 3D printed films aaaaages ago, does anyone know of models floating around I can yoink? 
3d films?
yeah, like here #š§ākeyboard_modding message
it's been ages since any mentions though
maybe @harsh dove
I don't recommend switch films for HE switches personally
They don't really do anything
They can reduce housing wobble, if there is any to begin with, but they don't change the sound
fair enough
I saw your frankenswitches, do you think there's any value in making something with just black knights + white jades? I've got jades already slotted in and I can grab black knights, but I don't want to drop $ on black jades on top of that, wdyt?
and thanks @median spade :)
So last night I went down the keyboard building rabbit hole on YouTube. Someone please explain the purpose of a plateless keyboard. Donāt the keys just fall out?
with a Wooting, yes
in general, no
But doesnāt the plate stabilize everything?
Soldered
And it makes it feel very light and soft to type on
Yep, I think that's the case but there's people that are invested in having a lot of flex in keyboards and plates are thought of as stiff for some folks
For HE switches, yes, for soldered MX switches, no
Yeah you can do exactly what I have with regular jades and black knights
Just wonāt be all black lol
Yessir
Iām using the dual stage spring from the black jades
But any springs that you like will work
til black jades have dual stage springs
Yeah
how does it feel in usage?
ahh thanks alot !
Just faster return really
do you have any feedback in terms of how adding black knight tops to jades has changed the switch itself?
Idk if itās any more stable or anything, maybe? But I definitely notice and hear the faster return
They pretty much sound like regular jades
Just box stem and dual stage springs
@placid blaze
wait, box stem? I thought you were using the jade stems unless I misunderstood
You can use the Jade stems too
getting my hands on dual stage springs would be neat, but it's a whole nother set of 70 switches
look what you're doing to my wallet with your experiments

Just ordered new monitor arm
Left is with raptor stems and right is with box stems
Thatās what I did a week or two ago
Thoughts?
On?
Better be ergotron lx!!
Oh I thought you responded to this whoops lol
Idk if itās as tight, I think itās about the same, canāt remember what aligner tested
I could also test myself
Yeah aligned said too wobbly
Was curious about sound if switch tape modded tho
Snug it up a bit
No. Huanuo
Amazons choice. Canāt go wrong lol
Is ergotrin LX the wave ?
Yeah I was curious to swap out springs to 35g and would be down to try different stem
I think Iād rather buy more switches than to do switch tape mod lol
If box stem changes sound
Oh ok. Soldered in place makes much more sense.
Yeah I donāt really want to do switch tape mod lol
At all
But do want the quietest lowest sound
Yeah I mean itās a good mod for that but takes forever
And pochizo and thockson both good for that
Switch tape mod
lol yeah too damn long
So tedious
New keycaps and hex2 should show up today then can swap in to frog mini. Plate looks great. Iām excited
Gotta send back this damn PSD60 Gasket case to China tho
ā ļø
Who even doesnāt charge an arm and a leg to ship to China? 
Also got a new shell for vv2 pro and m3k coming
Cut the weight in half of that bulky bih
Big week for the Bigsly setup lol
Excited to try SA profile
Which keycaps did you get?
Done cheap Amazon wob PBT SA
yeah if I like it Iāll get a black on grey signature plastic set
SA-P Standard keycap sets are molded in PBT plastic and offer the best option for complete keyboard customization with 32 different kit options and 10 different color choices. SA-P keys are identical in size and function to traditional SA keys that are molded in ABS. SA-P keys have a light matte surface texture compared to traditional SA keys th...
Then WiredIn said he could make the cable I want
Sheeeesh
Canāt wait to be done spending money for a while 
I still want to spend money but I can't or else I'll be flat broke š
Prob for the best lol
I did 3 and was like absolutely not
Good morning everyone. Hope @harsh dove didnt ruin the place while I was gone!
So first he set the place on fire and then cleaned it all up.
Cat in hat ref was on point lol
lol I think the first one might be his discord exploding cuz he got pinged 1400 times
Truth
When's the next cam stream
I wanna see more of these all black jades
Also I'm trying to decide which gmk set I wanna get first, I'm between symbiote, dualshot and redacted. Any thoughts?
Whats your case color?
dark grey
When I'm done being sick lol
damn bro hope ur on the mend
Yeah should be good soon
dualshot is nice with gray and redacted will match anything. Id skip symbiote with dark gray
yeah symbiote I just wanted to have more than anything just to have around, I think I'll wait on that for now
I would say wait for sales but pretty much all the ones you mentioned just had sales recently so idk
damn of course lmao
these could work with the dark grey too
yo anyone knows any purple/lavender deskmat ? I'm trying to find one to complete my lavender setup, im in eu and for now i found this one and it looks pretty cool, anyone got any other recommendation ?
speaking of dark sets, I'm checking the gmk cosmos page every day
If you want to be a bit different there are a ton of older dark GMK sets out there you can snag that look amazing
you arent using the wooting pcb are you?
yeah I've seen gmk dark and dualshot, and also grey on black, all of which are great, but I just got black snail, so will roll with it for a while
same lmao
instant cop
He is
@cold bloom you have any pics of your wooting in salvation case
ok i wasnt sure. really going crazy on what case i want right now
yup just a sec
cute
Think this was before I got my frog mini
dualshot ā¤ļø
Tofu, alumaze, salvation
is top left gmk? love the color on alphas
Top left is IV Works Ashes
Yeah
just making sure my eyes weren't messed up haha
thanks very nice and you dont notice any errors while typing and or gaming? i know you commented some things yesterday. just getting down to making my choice today so im over analyzing it i think.
also will going from a 5 degree slope to a 7.5
I'm still super tempted to get these before they run out completely
JU x Domikey JADE Keycaps If youĀ have all-in-one kit from JU x Domikey In Former Days groupbuy, you may have a preview of some JADE keycaps.Ā Now, JU studio makes JADE theme completed.Ā SPEC Cherry ProfileĀ ABS Doubleshot KEYCAP DESIGN ē¾ē(Pin yin: jin3 yu2) is JU x Domikey JADE theme in Chinese. It stands for beautiful
no I haven't noticed any issues myself. I can type just as well on this as other keebs maybe a bit better cause it's softer. I did screw mine in fully instead of half way like some mx build vids suggested but I put a little oring around the screw above the pcb and a rubber cover I got with the tofu over the 2 metal standoffs you screw into. It still flexes like I showed in a video in here yesterday but probably not as much as it can if you loosen it
Specs: Silicone material Diameter 4.8mm, height 3.5mm, screw hole 2mm, thickness 0.5mm Sold as one package contains 6 covers It is used on the standoff of mostĀ tray mountĀ metal cases.Ā Function:Ā Ā Anti-static, anti-short circuit, noise reduction Compatibility One pack (6 covers): Tofu60, Tofu65, A60, GH60 aluminum case
I used some of these over the 2 standoffs
and I think these are the orings I used https://www.amazon.ca/uxcell-Silicone-Rings-Diameter-Gasket/dp/B082SSTNPB/ref=sr_1_34?
holy link lmao
Haha at least you fixed it
dualshot looks cracked
dualshot just hits so well for me
I love the accents
I had all the playstations growing up so it's prob my fave set if I had to pick
Quick question do yell think I could rip the screen and bt module out of a certain disposable vape and repurpose it for a keyboard screen or am I getting lost in the sauce
had a ps1, 2 ,3, 4 and now 5 lol
Yeah same lol
ur head deep in the sauce
It's $25 and it's cheaper than buying the damn screen + module seperately
Yeah thatās out of my domain
Anyways o7
lol good luck tho
you are convincing me to pull this trigger
do itttttt
needs to be better than my case now and the fjell and im golden. cant regret it when $300 is on the line
I think it's better than the fjell but I've never had one myself, the fjell just seems like a really expensive tofu to me lol
but I like this more than my tofu just based on the typing feel alone, the sound is pretty similar but you can tweak it a lot I tried some poly-fil in it and the diff case foams, silicone and poly-fil kinda slaps
but the orings on the screws and just the poron plate foam also sounds great
yeah i only looked at it bc it has bevels. mine now look really good on the 5 degree. just getting this wooting module was just thining about getting everything new.
so im assuming i just use everything wooting gives me and nothing from what i get from the salvation case?
yeah so if you just get the case it comes with an fr4 plate but that doesn't fit, so you'll use the wooting PCB and Plate and switches obviously
you'll build the case by screwing the leaf springs into the base with a poron pad half way in the space below, they're all marked with a dot. Screw those in really tight (Cam suggests using some purple loctite, I haven't gotten around to that yet), then either use the 2 included hex screws or 2 screws from your wooting to screw the top 2 screws down into the case. There's plenty of build videos you can watch to explain it better, just follow what they do but put your wooting pcb/plate in instead @small canyon
I would buy it when it's on sale
takes like 100 dollars off when it is
Silver is marked down here
really appricaite this
but it's a Canadian site
sadly my wooting will be here in a few weeks
i was aiming more for purple
wth how come this is so much cheaper than the one on novelkeys lol
aw no white š¦
another thing you can try if you want to lower the typing angle is to fill the case with poly-fil, when I did just a bit I found that it kind of raised the front edge a bit, not enough that I needed to really compress it into the case but it made the bottom row a bit springier and sat a bit higher
not sure silver is really marked down rn
the business grey I got was 250$ canadian but it was the last A stock one
yeah eh
nah it's the case with a plate
for now this Klippe T is doing good
I got mine from the same listing
it was 255$ originally, the grey was only down to like 245$ and the silver is 229.50$ canadian rn
thats another thing going from a 5 degree to a 7.5 i dont be trying to many keebs out so idk if ill feel much of a difference or not
it'll probably be noticeable but not a huge difference, 2.5 degrees isn't nothing but it's not like going from 5 to like 12 lmao
The top one is so beautiful gimme the link I'll buy it rn
what im hoping for
pbt spacebar kinda hits
Already have tkl clacky keeb
You're looking for a purple salvation?
SA is tough
ABS or PBT?
They have both. I havenāt looked for that particular color way
SA for them is ABS. SA-P is PBS
SA-P Standard keycap sets are molded in PBT plastic and offer the best option for complete keyboard customization with 32 different kit options and 10 different color choices. SA-P keys are identical in size and function to traditional SA keys that are molded in ABS. SA-P keys have a light matte surface texture compared to traditional SA keys th...
Could do one of those blues with black legends
But then have to go WoB for black keycaps tho. Idk what you had in mind
Would MTNU profile work?
I recently pre-ordered the Wooting 80HE in Zinc Alloy White.
In preparation for this, I was just wondering whether anyone knew if installing metal keycaps would affect the magnetic switches or performance in any way? I am looking at purchasing a set of copper keycaps.
Copper is diamagnetic and therefore does react weakly to nearby magnetic fields. Titanium and brass (non-magnetic) are also available but are a little out of my price range.
Despite really enjoying the look, sound and feel of metal keycaps; the performance is my first and foremost priority. If anyone has any experience or information on this topic I would find it really helpful, as I do not want to affect my premium keyboard's performance unknowingly.
Any advice or recommendations for better suited materials would be really helpful.
If you find out please let me know. Ive tested aluminum but not copper.
Ofc, I actually emailed wooting support but got an extremely unhelpful response
Aren't the keycaps just copper plated, not full copper
The ones from awekeys are copper plated, other providers arent so clear. And I dont know what the material is underneath but I imagine its either aluminium or stainless steel
It just says "recycled metal"
Mmh could be a mix of things then, my guess would be alu, but yeah could be nickel or steel
Maybe try emailing them
Thanks man, if no one knows anything here ill most likely resort to that
Yeah they have them in stock just my brain wonāt allow me to choose between static or flex
My dude very convincing on here though
As far as the testing goes for different materials, I'm not sure if copper would affect the magnetic fields or not, esp if it's just plated. I know Alexotos has used Awekeys Metal keycaps with HE switches, but it was more of a sound test than a performance test.
If youre in the US and want a purple one, I've got a mint one I'd be willing to part with. Just shoot me a DM.
appreciate your help
Yeah, no problem, sorry I couldn't be of more assistance
what case is this?
It looks to be the same as the one buddy burnt his keycaps on from last week in here lmao
@stark osprey
maybe it was custom made š¤·āāļø
It's a Gehirn by Baionlenja
anyone have the paper mod installed there wooting 60he? if so, can you send a video with a sound test? Thanks!
Paper mod?
put some layers of paper at the bottom of your case and some above the foam
I was really interested in the gehirn before hearing about one his previous GB projects and how poorly managed it was š
damn that's never good to hear
It looks like the oring ones he has on the site aren't listed as wooting compatible, but I'm sure you could just oring mount the tray mount one right?
idk what is making one of the 60% wooting compatible and the other not
Also the gehirn is a TKL I believe the 60% pictured is the EX.23
Anyone has Ceramic keycaps on Jades? How does that feel
Yeah his response to the delays and handling of it left much to be desired and was about as unprofessional as you can get
the engraving on the 60% is Gehrin but the specific model is Obj.1
way too steep for a tray mount imo but I've no idea how high quality swiss alu is
Yeah mb I looked at the wrong one
sheeeeesh
hate to see it
cool design tho
Yeah design is dope for sure
Just sus QC and cheap manufacturers for such an expensive board
sounds like he just never should've gone into design lmao
that third paragraph is wild
which?
Yup obj.1 by the elusive Fin, Baion
Did you oring mount it or tray mount?
I think might be referring to the previous GBs of Bias and Synovia which were outsourced to China. FWIW I knew about the fiasco before rolling the dice, mine is made in Finland and is immaculate. But definitely caveat emptor, as it took an incredulously long time to ship for an in-stock drop.
Tray mount {burger mount}
Bias R2
Yo do you screw this frog mini plate in from both sides??
With the stand off in the middle? Long screw from the bottom and short screw from the top?
Ayyy u home from your trip or wtv?
Don't you have to like install standoffs or wtv?
getting HE Jades in a week
anything i have to be careful of or have to change in wootility?
Nvm got it
Nope as long as your firmware is up to date it should automatically detect your using jades and accommodate
Guess Iām trying not to plate foam first lol
Forgot about that before I put plate on š¤Ŗ
lmao
alright whats the configuration chat
nothing iād have to change with the actuation distance ?
Well there's less range so you may want to adjust it accordingly but that's up to you
I found my jades were a little more sensitive then the lekkers
yeah because of the lighter springs
alright thank you
so excited
will drop a sound test
nose ring
im trying to gummy mount in alumaze, but the gotdamn usb c port only lines up for like a second before unalligning again
dming you
š
probably yeah
cause it can go up just fine it's probably just the grease that's holding it down
that is
very weird
is the spring not strong enough?
maybe that's why it cant rebound š¤·āāļø
try switching with stronger springs
I donāt have
damn
RIP
hello guys I have a question about preordered wooting80he, will they send each part of keyborad on separate day or everything in one day
cause that might be the problem
I'd say everything in one day
if it's in the same order
kk thanks for answering
does anyone get the 80% wooting already? or everyone is waiting for it
noone has it yet
so it is coming out late sep
What stabs are you running?
Iām cooked bro
And how thick is that keycap in the vid
thackson?!
The issue has to do with the keycap thickness and sten/housing fitting

1.5mm would cause the stab to be like that
Anything below should be fine
Lessen the chance of it being stuck
Yeth
I learned
After I received my gmk I found out why
My gpbt is 1.5mm
theoretically would stronger springs force it back up
Gmk is 1.3mm I think or 1.5mm as well but stem a bit thinner I suppose
No
You know how the stabilizers got rails on the housing?
White is first vid. Blueish/transparent is second vid
the stem is making direct contact on that
which causes it to be sluggish or get stuck on my take
Iām having a hell trip
this is for the TX AP plate mounts ofc
God I hate this shit lol
ooo I see
Ofc
the only thing i did to fix it was to run no lube for now
and there's like a stupid or certain orientation with the stem and housing
Me who uses the normal TX plate mount stabs... 
so like you have to make a certain stem and housing combo to make it work
Like wtf
yeah fr
some will work
some wont
just gotta swap parts around
until you get it
Glad I learned this after everything is apart at 11pm
its stupid
Nah just throw it away
fr
someone buy my pcb ima need myself a 60he+ LOL
Just get other stabs or what
stem and housing
I donāt even know how to fix my problem except clip the tops of the stabs or something
Stem of what
ā ļøā ļøā ļøā ļø
like swap the stem and housing parts with each other
Your TX AP plate mounts LOL
like mix and match
GL š
REAL^
wait is that still an issue with the stock plate mount stabs?
Iāve already tried 2 stabs
I donāt have stock stabs
nah
just tx ap plate mounts
This is hot garbage
clip em
I was not built for this
what can that part do realistically
Yeah I think just clip them honestly
and order diff stabs in the mean time
Yeah thatās prob where the friction is
if it works it works
if its doing nothing other than getting the cap stuck id def try clipping one
even just clip 1 or 2 of the corners
and keep trying
Any other way to test it before I clip it?
What do those little things do anyways lol
that's what I'm trying to figure out

like if there r the cause of friction then..doesn't hurt to try lubing them to lessen it lel
or CLIP EM
lel
that's the last choice xd
pcb mount stabs don't have those tabs
idk why theyre on plate mount
durock plate mount has them too
if it's built like that maybe the culprit is the spring š¤
oh shit wait
don't clip em
that's what holds the stem in when the spacebar or whichever key is pressed
try on the other stabs
they go up when the switch goes down
I guess theyre just needed for plate mount design
what if he clipped them already š
if he did clip it
it's better to clip 1 on both sides
yeah agreed
yeah I meant to say that earlier not same side
I say lube to reduce friction first 
you can always clean it later
actually first see if the ssame thing happens on other stabs
Yeah I might just put the whole thing together
Then work on figuring out the stabs
Plate mount easy to take in and out
I tried a full burger mount in my salvation and I think this works better than just the oring on top
one on top and bottom lets it sit a bit higher to retain some flex but also locks it in well so it doesn't make weird rattling noises or anything
just sounds a bit quieter but I don't have to screw it in as much this way to get it locked in well
Man this is wild
I specifically went to plate mount stabs to avoid friction on keys
Crazy
Lubed the fricking keycap stem and upper stab housing and still sucks
does it happen on every single stab?
left shift, spacebar, etc
Enter and shift yea
I shouldāve just thrown the new keycaps on reg keyboard and just went to sleep

They look kinda clean
I can tell what Cam talking about with this space bar tho
Plate has massive cutouts around it
Might just get new plate with the Knight screw-ins
Jesus
This is out of control lol
Dude how are tx ap plate mount stabs just not working for me tho
Like thereās no way that upper housing causing this much trouble that itās just not working but everyone else having a great time lol
Bizarre
is it worth buying the jade switches for the 60HE or should i just stick with the stock ones
And space bar
Jades are a nice upgrade, yeah.
Not necessary. But change sound and feel.
Alright, I was wondering because they are 55 on amazon so i don't know if 55 is worth it if the change is so small
id say for 55$ they're well worth it
Theyāll function the same
sound is preference at the end of the day but almost everyone seems to agree they way better than stock lekkers
And āworth itā is subjective
But yeah, general consensus is that itās a solid upgraded experience
aight thank you
from my experience, 55$ is a great price for them
imma hold out for prime day and see if they drop in price and if not ill probably end up getting them anyway
not a bad idea
anyone know how i can make the usb-c port on the alumaze line upl better when using gummy mount?
I might need to get a CF screw in plate then try and get those black Swagkeys Knights Stabs
This is frustrating
Idk. So much friction
Lubed stem no grease
Have you confirmed it's not the keycaps?
Line up how? Is it too high,low left or right?
He made 2 vids of the keycap he just got and the stock keycap im pretty sure
^
Ahh rip
I wouldn't modify the stabs though (def wouldn't clip anything).
Do you care about smoothness and sound of the switch? If yes then buy jade. If you don't then no and spend that money on some food
Yeah tried two different keycap sets. I could try another one too. Diff profiles, on different keys.
Yeah weird
its a little too high up
so if i want to plug it in then i need to push down
You could try pressing the assembly in a bit and screwing the screw nearest the usb a bit tighter
If itāll go any tighter
Okay be careful
Yeah it might not fit then
Yeah good call
When you do the mount
you gotta squish it in sometimes
When i did for my tofu i had some issues as well
Esp with the mounting configuration
Cuz u gotta squish it down and then clamp it but it shldnt have so much rebound
Then screw it in nicely
Shld work
You could use SW Knights or Durock V3s
Swag keys knights screw in stabs are rlly good
I recommend them
is this for the gummy or burger?
burg
ahh kk
QC issues
Or change ur plates but idk
Also which case is that and what O rings did you use?
thats a gummy mount in alumaze60 with bakeneko o-ring 50a
W/o the o-ring it seats fine?
If thatās the case, the o-ring either gets stuck on something or maybe you could push harder? š¬
He will need a
O ring side
If he has it then when he pushed into the alumaze
His gotta squeeze it in
Cuz the alumaze has a tight fit if im not wrong
I was about to get the alumaze till i realized i cld get the optimum one
And maybe run jades
Or the gateron orange switches
If 50a is too rough 30a might work
Or idk
Ima wait ig till Lekker v2s are out
Sand the plate
is there ever a risk of a fire or anything related, when your pcb is firmly sandwiched with the stock wooting foam? the foam and pcb felt like they were very squished together to fit in my tofu, to get the USB lined up (i did remove the extra removable layer of foam that normally fits in the OG plastic case)
also has anyone has issues with acrylic vs rubber adhesives, in regards to painters / masking tape for the tape mod, ive seen people say acrylic adhesive is slightly conductive
i ask because the keyboard gets warm when youre using it (which i know is normal and safe), but thats for the stock keyboard
lol now all of a sudden everyone knows that TX ap plate mount donāt work
Iāve been talking about them for month and never seen any issues
So wild
A few people had issues with them way back. Someone made a little guide even.
I wouldāve totally bought the swag knights when they were available if I knew
Just a bummer I waited so long and now Iām stuck lol
Durock V3s fit too.
yeah I initially thought they're fine, but then @tawdry tree explained to me that some ppl had issues
but my stabs were on their way so I've got TX AP screw-ins and clip-ins now, I'll see if they fit
also got these cause the wire design seemed interesting
https://kbdfans.com/products/typeplus-x-yikb-screw-in-stabilizer
Intro The Typeplus x YiKB stabilizer features a patented structure that sets it apart from anything else available. It includes a secured wire mechanism that minimizes the risk of wire popping out, ensuring reliable performance. Crafted with precision tooling and premium POK material, it offers superb stability, low ra
Eh? All of TX APs have issues, less so with plate mounts and MORE so with screw ins/clip ins as they donāt fit.
yeah I learned that when they were on the way to me š
I donāt know exactly what the issue is with TX APās plate mounts as the hole size is standard for those. Could be bad QC.
Oh I see.
Cam said his were fine so I'll have to try them anyways, with kbdfans CF plate and also a full black FR one
Yeah they can still work even if theyāre under stress, worth to try.
Yeah I have clip ins, screw ins and plate mount but not a plate thatās compatible for all three
These wonāt fit perfectly either by the way. I measured them at 6.79mm wide.
damn haha
Ig i'll just sand the plates a bit
Iām kind of upset with plate mount stabs now. NGL lol
I mean if you've got as far as getting a wooting in the frog, its probably best to go for screwins, even the stock ones should be good
ahh so the PP plate doesnt work?
or was it premade or something?
Yeah you got Cherry spec holes
those rectangular holes are wider
but PCB mount only
But Iāve said I got tx ap plate mount and frog mini plate like a dozen times here and everyone said it was good lol
What holes
Holes in the plate for stabs?
at this point you could try sanding the plastic a bit
The stab holes
I donāt even know what cherry holes means
Itwas custom plate for wooting/frog/plate mount
Hype keyboard
isnt plate mount hole wider than screw-in anyway?
Yeah idk, itās pretty difficult to get compatibility known about. Iām happy we got a warning in modding_faq after a long time šš
I could try later
Sec
Im p sure the plate they hv is cuz there is no win key
Yeah I mean Iām clueless. This is my first custom. I thought I did my due diligence tho. RIP
im planning to use kbdfans plate and they've got plate mount holes, but I think Cam used it with screw-ins so it ight work
If u run without win ket
Key*
And remap it under FN
For the win key
It shldnt be a issue rlly
From my view
Lol what bro
what would be the best and most durable way to change the color of zinc alloy case?
powder coating?
Ok Iāll try
More than a sec (I have too many pictures saved and canāt find shit š)
The zinc alloy case has a protective layer over it.
UV print or something
also btw prebuilt 60he+ comes w/ plate mounts BUT it supports screw-ins, and with that I can conclude that screw-ins should fit fine in the plate mount hole
but I havent even got my module yet lol so we'll see
Oh cool thanks. Iāll try tonight
I think itās decent for its price but the rapid trigger is a lot worse then the 60HE
I got it for like
20 bucks?

For 20 it is reasonable
unless you remove all layers to bare metal I guess. is uv printing giving nice and even surface?
Ye, but itās being sold for at least 90 on the international markets like aliexpress or whatever
I got it from pinduoduo
Basically an internal Chinese market
Good think I live in Kazakhstan and the access to that marketplace is basically free for us

Wonder why
Weāre bordering them
And
Itās usually being used by businesses
Like they order large quantities of everything and sell here
Itās a more matt less raw finish but still looks nice from the videos. If you were to powder coat it youād have to sand it of course.
I get a lot of stuff shipped to me through Kazakhstan to avoid restrictions
I had a better comparison pic but no clue where the fuck that went. This is cherry spec, and the rectangular holes you see on some boards/plates are 7mm wide instead of Cherryās 6.65.
@polar girder
maybe
ill probs just do burger mount tho
doesn't line up with the port even without the o-ring
Hi guys! I have a 2HE, and I've been looking into customizing it. Are there any resources available? I've noticed that the FAQ channel mostly covers 60HE. Perhaps there's someone that's done this before?
Like itās too high or too low
Whatās underneath it
its too high
alumaze
Whatās underneath it
Stock plastic Wooting case foam or stock alimaze foam?
its the stock alumaze foam
took out the screw, now it's less bad ig
but the gold accent piece isn't secured, so it's rattling
@unreal stone im still surprised how my 2HE is AVR chip
Lmao
Ig b4 the avr chip shortage then it went onto a new chip
wdym?
im confused
am i meant to have all screw's out when doing gummy mount?
B4 they swap
Yeah you donāt need any stand offs
oh chad
Screws out put inbetween
Then stand it off
Then screw
Id recommend to do it 2 half rotation
Not full
Bro for gummy mountain?
so there are no screws in the case and i have the gummy o-ring inbetween the pcb and plate
then something else is wrong
Are you high?
Yes
ye it was the screw for the accent piece
Thereās no screws involved with gummy o-ring friction mount
No its cuz of the gummy mount maybe the way he did it
Yeah heās talking about burger mount
still doesn't fully line up
ye i might do burger mount if this if buggered
I legit founded the cardboard pad
I havenāt friction mounted in an Alumaze to be fair.
My 2nd in command did it
its so difficult to take this shit out of the case hahahaa
The accent piece uses the same screw for mounting the PCB in the case. If the accent piece rattles too much without the screw and just an o-ring, maybe try tape?
my ass out here shaking like a mf
Yeah friction mount is kind of cooked IMO
Upside down and try and use the space bar slot of the plate
šš
50A is too much for the alumaxe
Kind of worked for me
idk how tf i got it out the first time
Idk sometimes having it too rough aint good
its so much easier in the plastic case, since you just bend it lmao
How tf did u bend it
twist
like a bop it
Sponge method
@unreal stone welp just do a bg mount first
Then get a new case and whack the
Friction gummy mount
Or idk
doesn't rattle when using tbf, but if i pick it up it does a little
i need to get crowbar to get this bitch out
The accent piece mounting was a bad design choice imo
but itās whatever
I donāt
and to think that i was worried about the board coming out of the case before gummy mounting it
š
No I have stem swapped raptors with l45 spring/stem
I dont want jades
Got it ty
stem swapped LTPs/Raptors but will prob switch to monochromes (Raw HE top housing with Black Knight stem and bottom)
soon.
Oh damn u both be running fraken switches
Im now thinking if i wanna use the new v2s lekkers or jades
Or do a fraken switch
u can wait for V2s
will v2s be better than jades?
Idk
but they wonāt be tighter than stem swaps and probably not tighter than monochromes either.
Just different
Yeah I kind of want to switch it up
I got told its better than the v1s 2 fold
Open vs closed bottom
With 35g springs and a non red top housing
Even tho itās nylon which I love
The red pisses me off every time I see it

I was thinking about running jades bottom with a akko or a normal 5 pin housing
For the top
And then stem swap the jades with lekkers
I hope Raw HEs will be more widely available so more can try this
Canāt
O ya cuz the top housing is the clips
Plus I just realized the pins/legs on like a half dozen of my raptors are broken
So I have to get some new ones anyway.
ā ļø
Regular top housings arenāt compatible with most HE stems.
Rip
Howwwww
The Kailhs are thought to, kinda
#1 culprit for new alumaze builders
Why dont i just clip the 5 pins
Gets em every time
Nah I think I fucking hate the PC plate and when I was tilting them backwards a little to pull them out I might have went too far backwards to get it out
OOF
Cooked
Yea
@harsh dove whats the feeling of jades or the neo lavenders tho or they the same ?
Im thinking of either getting lekker v2s or jades
At this point
Or thoughts
Ik the akko cream yellows are compatible
Bro Iām being careful and gentle
You broke their legs
Bent a couple of the soft ass raptor housings the first time
BRO I DID WORSE THAN YOU

Bro I made the mistake of plugging in the keyboard without very many switches in
I think Iām still partially blind
Lavenders are somewhat poppier , both feel about the same
Its still ok it was worth it in the end
the usb-c port doesnt fully line up still š
Nah cuz I donāt think any customer cases exist
Are there any issues with the lavenders tho like inconsistencies ?
Or theyre running the same magnetic force
Should I just commission my own, then?
I mean I've got the CAD files
so it's doable, right
Comission ur own
And yes
U can go to a metal work factory n ask for it and theyll quote u
Or 3d print
Cuz thockfather didnt test them @harsh dove
Or update
I mainly just wanna switch out my 60s for 45s
I like the 45s more
That should be simple enough
Yeah l45ās are sick
I love them
Then pop the case out and metal frame then pop it out from there
fr fr. the 60s feel really heavy, imo
I donāt know their exact guass values but yeah they work fine without issue
Ah ok ty
Is there a 2he part manual somewhere?
or a wooting part manual in general
like a virtual one
@harsh dove u got plans to run l45 v2 ?
Is it better than the jades tho ?
Ima closed bottom switch enjoyer tho so
Idm close or open
do the jades even support rt?
Yes
