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

I’m 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

it's been ages since any mentions though

#

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

So last night I went down the keyboard building rabbit hole on YouTube. Someone please explain the purpose of a plateless keyboard. Don’t the keys just fall out?

placid blaze

#

But doesn’t the plate stabilize everything?

median spade
#

And it makes it feel very light and soft to type on

placid blaze
#

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

harsh dove
harsh dove

Just won’t be all black lol

placid blaze

:o

#

it's jade stems and bottoms, right?

harsh dove
#

Yessir

#

I’m using the dual stage spring from the black jades

#

But any springs that you like will work

placid blaze
#

til black jades have dual stage springs

harsh dove
#

Yeah

placid blaze
#

how does it feel in usage?

harsh dove
#

Just faster return really

placid blaze
#

do you have any feedback in terms of how adding black knight tops to jades has changed the switch itself?

harsh dove
#

Idk if it’s any more stable or anything, maybe? But I definitely notice and hear the faster return

harsh dove
#

Just box stem and dual stage springs

#

@placid blaze

placid blaze
#

wait, box stem? I thought you were using the jade stems unless I misunderstood

harsh dove
#

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

Is ergotrin LX the wave ?

Yeah I was curious to swap out springs to 35g and would be down to try different stem

harsh dove

I think I’d rather buy more switches than to do switch tape mod lol

polar girder

If box stem changes sound

untold wigeon

Oh ok. Soldered in place makes much more sense.

polar girder

Yeah I don’t really want to do switch tape mod lol

At all

But do want the quietest lowest sound

Yeah I mean it’s a good mod for that but takes forever

And pochizo and thockson both good for that

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

# cold bloom 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

cold bloom
#

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

small canyon
#

so im assuming i just use everything wooting gives me and nothing from what i get from the salvation case?

cold bloom
#

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

quiet bay
#

takes like 100 dollars off when it is

cold bloom
#

Silver is marked down here

cold bloom
#

but it's a Canadian site

small canyon
#

i was aiming more for purple

quiet bay
#

aw no white 😦

cold bloom
# small canyon really appricaite this

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

the business grey I got was 250$ canadian but it was the last A stock one

#

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.

stray tiger
#

If you find out please let me know. Ive tested aluminum but not copper.

kindred epoch

Ofc, I actually emailed wooting support but got an extremely unhelpful response

harsh dove

1.5mm would cause the stab to be like that

Lessen the chance of it being stuck

After I received my gmk I found out why

My gpbt is 1.5mm

Gmk is 1.3mm I think or 1.5mm as well but stem a bit thinner I suppose

fluid ravine

You know how the stabilizers got rails on the housing?

polar girder
fluid ravine
polar girder

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

this is for the TX AP plate mounts ofc

like swap the stem and housing parts with each other

#

Your TX AP plate mounts LOL

#

like mix and match

#

REAL^

polar girder
#

What bro they’re all identical

#

I don’t get it lol

fluid ravine
#

i know they are

#

but some weird mystery shit needs to be done

#

try it

cold bloom
#

wait is that still an issue with the stock plate mount stabs?

polar girder
#

I’ve already tried 2 stabs

cold bloom
#

if not just use those housings

#

or stabs

polar girder
#

I don’t have stock stabs

cold bloom
#

damn

#

clippin time

fluid ravine
#

just tx ap plate mounts

polar girder
#

This is hot garbage

cold bloom
#

clip em

polar girder
#

I was not built for this

cold bloom
#

what can that part do realistically

polar girder
#

Yeah I think just clip them honestly

cold bloom
#

and order diff stabs in the mean time

polar girder
#

Yeah that’s prob where the friction is

quiet bay
cold bloom
#

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

polar girder
#

Any other way to test it before I clip it?

cold bloom
#

hmm

#

idk

quiet bay
#

what if you lubed the stems

#

🤣

polar girder
#

What do those little things do anyways lol

cold bloom
#

that's what I'm trying to figure out

polar girder
#

Haha oh man. Now you’re talking

#

Lube the keycap stem for stabs

#

Haha

cold bloom
fluid ravine
#

:D

quiet bay
#

like if there r the cause of friction then..doesn't hurt to try lubing them to lessen it lel

cold bloom
#

i'd probably clip 2 on the same side and see what it does

#

if you go that route

quiet bay
fluid ravine
#

clip 1 each from both sides

#

opposite sides though

#

heh

cold bloom
#

pcb mount stabs don't have those tabs

#

idk why theyre on plate mount

#

durock plate mount has them too

quiet bay
# cold bloom

if it's built like that maybe the culprit is the spring šŸ¤”

cold bloom
#

oh shit wait

#

don't clip em

#

that's what holds the stem in when the spacebar or whichever key is pressed

quiet bay
cold bloom
#

they go up when the switch goes down

#

I guess theyre just needed for plate mount design

quiet bay
#

what if he clipped them already 😭

quiet bay
#

if he did clip it

quiet bay
#

it's better to clip 1 on both sides

cold bloom
#

yeah agreed

quiet bay
#

opposite of each other

#

so that it can still hold itself in

cold bloom
#

yeah I meant to say that earlier not same side

polar girder
#

lol I haven’t clipped

#

I’m getting mixed messages here tho

quiet bay
#

I say lube to reduce friction first thonk

#

you can always clean it later

#

actually first see if the ssame thing happens on other stabs

polar girder
#

Yeah I might just put the whole thing together

#

Then work on figuring out the stabs

#

Plate mount easy to take in and out

cold bloom
#

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

polar girder
#

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

quiet bay
#

left shift, spacebar, etc

polar girder
#

Enter and shift yea

#

I should’ve 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 there’s no way that upper housing causing this much trouble that it’s just not working but everyone else having a great time lol

#

Bizarre

peak hearth
#

is it worth buying the jade switches for the 60HE or should i just stick with the stock ones

polar girder
#

Jades are a nice upgrade, yeah.

#

Not necessary. But change sound and feel.

peak hearth
#

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

cold bloom
#

id say for 55$ they're well worth it

polar girder
#

They’ll function the same

cold bloom
#

sound is preference at the end of the day but almost everyone seems to agree they way better than stock lekkers

polar girder
#

And ā€œworth itā€ is subjective

#

But yeah, general consensus is that it’s a solid upgraded experience

cold bloom
#

that's why I said I'd say bigsly SeemsGood

#

but I agree lol

peak hearth
#

aight thank you

cold bloom
#

from my experience, 55$ is a great price for them

peak hearth
#

imma hold out for prime day and see if they drop in price and if not ill probably end up getting them anyway

cold bloom
#

not a bad idea

unreal stone
#

anyone know how i can make the usb-c port on the alumaze line upl better when using gummy mount?

polar girder
#

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

stray tiger

fluid ravine

yeah same problem as me

stray tiger
#

I wouldn't modify the stabs though (def wouldn't clip anything).

fluid ravine
#

dogekek snip snip

cyan zodiac
polar girder
#

Yeah weird

unreal stone
#

so if i want to plug it in then i need to push down

cold bloom
#

You could try pressing the assembly in a bit and screwing the screw nearest the usb a bit tighter

#

If it’ll go any tighter

unreal stone
#

i dont have any screws installed

#

should i even do that with a gummy mount

cold bloom
#

Oh I didn’t see it was gummy mount

#

Can you push it in any further into the case?

unreal stone
#

not really

#

might try putting more force on it

cold bloom
#

Okay be careful

unreal stone
#

it just reverts itself back to that

#

maybe even a little worse

cold bloom
#

Yeah it might not fit then

unreal stone
#

i bought some o-rings for burger mount

cold bloom
#

Yeah good call

paper bloom
#

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

tawdry tree
paper bloom
#

I recommend them

unreal stone
paper bloom
unreal stone
#

ahh kk

paper bloom
#

Or change ur plates but idk

paper bloom
unreal stone
tawdry tree
#

If that’s the case, the o-ring either gets stuck on something or maybe you could push harder? 😬

paper bloom
#

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

paper bloom
paper bloom
#

Ima wait ig till Lekker v2s are out

gaunt marten
pine tiger
#

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

pine tiger
polar girder
#

lol now all of a sudden everyone knows that TX ap plate mount don’t work

#

I’ve been talking about them for month and never seen any issues

#

So wild

tawdry tree
#

A few people had issues with them way back. Someone made a little guide even.

polar girder
#

I would’ve totally bought the swag knights when they were available if I knew

#

Just a bummer I waited so long and now I’m stuck lol

tawdry tree
#

Durock V3s fit too.

calm pulsar

also got these cause the wire design seemed interesting

I don’t know exactly what the issue is with TX AP’s plate mounts as the hole size is standard for those. Could be bad QC.

calm pulsar
#

Cam said his were fine so I'll have to try them anyways, with kbdfans CF plate and also a full black FR one

tawdry tree
#

Yeah they can still work even if they’re under stress, worth to try.

polar girder
#

Yeah I have clip ins, screw ins and plate mount but not a plate that’s compatible for all three

tawdry tree

Stock ones if I buy a new plate

tawdry tree
#

Why didn’t you change the stab holes?

#

For the plate

calm pulsar
tawdry tree
#

or was it premade or something?

polar girder
#

I got plate mount

#

Could be screw in

tawdry tree
#

Yeah you got Cherry spec holes

#

those rectangular holes are wider

#

but PCB mount only

polar girder
#

But I’ve said I got tx ap plate mount and frog mini plate like a dozen times here and everyone said it was good lol

polar girder
#

Holes in the plate for stabs?

calm pulsar
tawdry tree
polar girder
#

I don’t even know what cherry holes means

#

Itwas custom plate for wooting/frog/plate mount

#

Hype keyboard

calm pulsar
#

isnt plate mount hole wider than screw-in anyway?

polar girder
#

No clue

#

Could I work?

tawdry tree
polar girder
#

I could try later

paper bloom
polar girder
#

Yeah I mean I’m clueless. This is my first custom. I thought I did my due diligence tho. RIP

calm pulsar
paper bloom
#

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

polar girder
#

Lol what bro

rain harbor
#

what would be the best and most durable way to change the color of zinc alloy case?

#

powder coating?

tawdry tree
# tawdry tree Sec

More than a sec (I have too many pictures saved and can’t find shit šŸ’€)

tawdry tree
#

UV print or something

calm pulsar
# polar girder Ok I’ll try

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

grave sun
#

I got the vgn a75

#

I’ll try to mod it

polar girder
grave sun
#

I got it for like

I got it from pinduoduo

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?

polar girder
#

What’s underneath it

unreal stone
#

its too high

polar girder
#

For plate foam or something

#

What case

unreal stone
#

alumaze

polar girder
#

What’s underneath it

unreal stone
#

stock foam

#

omfg i am retarded

#

this screw cause it, no?

polar girder
#

Whoops

#

Looks like it might

polar girder
unreal stone
#

took out the screw, now it's less bad ig

#

but the gold accent piece isn't secured, so it's rattling

paper bloom
#

@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

unreal stone
#

im confused

paper bloom
#

O im saying im just surprised my first 2HE

#

Is AVR chip

#

Which is a old batch

unreal stone
#

am i meant to have all screw's out when doing gummy mount?

paper bloom
#

B4 they swap

polar girder
unreal stone
#

oh chad

paper bloom

Then stand it off

#

Then screw

#

Id recommend to do it 2 half rotation

#

Not full

polar girder

Bro for gummy mountain?

unreal stone
tawdry tree
polar girder

Are you high?

There’s no screws involved with gummy o-ring friction mount

No its cuz of the gummy mount maybe the way he did it

Maybe 30a is better

unreal stone

Idk sometimes having it too rough aint good

@tawdry tree @polar girder do u both happen to run

#

Jades ?

unreal stone

i need to get crowbar to get this bitch out

tawdry tree

but it’s whatever

paper bloom
#

Ok got it ty

#

@tawdry tree what switch u running ?

unreal stone
#

and to think that i was worried about the board coming out of the case before gummy mounting it

#

šŸ’€

polar girder
#

I dont want jades

paper bloom
#

Got it ty

tawdry tree
#

soon.

paper bloom
#

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

tawdry tree
#

u can wait for V2s

unreal stone
#

will v2s be better than jades?

paper bloom
#

Idk

tawdry tree
#

but they won’t be tighter than stem swaps and probably not tighter than monochromes either.

tawdry tree
polar girder
#

Yeah I kind of want to switch it up

paper bloom
#

I got told its better than the v1s 2 fold

tawdry tree
#

Open vs closed bottom

polar girder
#

With 35g springs and a non red top housing

#

Even tho it’s nylon which I love

#

The red pisses me off every time I see it

paper bloom
#

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

tawdry tree
#

I hope Raw HEs will be more widely available so more can try this

paper bloom
#

O ya cuz the top housing is the clips

polar girder
#

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. havo pepe_cry ā˜ ļø

tawdry tree
#

Regular top housings aren’t compatible with most HE stems.

paper bloom
#

Rip

paper bloom
#

Mustve clipped them

#

During the phase out

tawdry tree
paper bloom
#

Hm

#

Good idea

#

Wait i got a idea

harsh dove
paper bloom
#

Why dont i just clip the 5 pins

harsh dove
#

Gets em every time

polar girder
#

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

paper bloom
#

OOF

polar girder
#

Cooked

paper bloom
#

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

polar girder
#

Bro I’m being careful and gentle

harsh dove

are there

Its still ok it was worth it in the end

unreal stone

the usb-c port doesnt fully line up still 😭

polar girder
paper bloom

Or theyre running the same magnetic force

I mean I've got the CAD files

so it's doable, right

paper bloom
#

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

polar girder

Then pop the case out and metal frame then pop it out from there

real flame

fr fr. the 60s feel really heavy, imo

harsh dove
paper bloom
#

Ah ok ty

real flame
#

Is there a 2he part manual somewhere?

#

or a wooting part manual in general

#

like a virtual one

paper bloom
#

@harsh dove u got plans to run l45 v2 ?

harsh dove
#

Yeah I got some with my 80He

#

I’ll try em

paper bloom
#

Is it better than the jades tho ?

harsh dove
#

Ima closed bottom switch enjoyer tho so

paper bloom
#

Idm close or open

real flame
#

do the jades even support rt?

harsh dove

Yes
