[paper bloom]

Just want to find out

Hows the 2

B4 i make a chpice

Choice*

[real flame]

Deadass? I thought they didn't.

[paper bloom]

All in #🪛│modding_faq

[harsh dove]

It’s not the switch that has rapid trigger , it’s the board

Switch is just an instrument

[real flame]

Huh. You learn something new every day

[paper bloom]

@harsh dove cuz if its any good for the v2s

I might skip jades

LOL

[polar girder]

My hopes aren’t that high for v2

I think they’ll have less wobble. But prob it. Idk

[paper bloom]

Or wobble

[harsh dove]

I’m sure V2 will be good tbh, but they’re not gonna be Jades in terms of feel or sound

[maiden grotto]

Anyone know of a decent budget case for the 60%?

[paper bloom]

Im more a wobble worry guy

Cuz comparing jades and lekler v2

Is like comparing a onion to a apple in some way

[harsh dove]

Yea

They’re different types of switches

[real flame]

So the switches are all feels then? I don't need to rely on the l45/60s to utilize wooting software to its fullest capacity?

[paper bloom]

Yes

[real flame]

Or do the lekkers still offer more

[maiden grotto]

@harsh dove nice Ghibli Snoop

[harsh dove]

Correct, you just need to make sure any 3rd party switches you use are compatible

[real flame]

that's crazy. I assumed there was something with the switch itself

[real flame]

Thanks for the info. I shall keep this in mind 😼

[harsh dove]

Of course

[harsh dove]

You can also check our switch compatibility list here #🪛│modding_faq , it hasn’t been updated as of recent because the big man as been on vacation and just got back, but most of us can help you with any questions

[real flame]

Yeah, thanks alot

I was looking over it earlier, but my thought process was "what's the point if none of them are built for rt anyways"

this is a whole new world of modability

[paper bloom]

@harsh dove but hows the wobble tho

Comparison wise

And wld u prefer the jades or the v2s

[harsh dove]

Jades and lavenders?

I’d say it’s about the same really

[paper bloom]

Not lavenders

L45 lekkers

The v2

[harsh dove]

Oh idk

[polar girder]

V2 not out yet lol

[harsh dove]

I’m assuming better

[paper bloom]

Oh

Eh is fine ig i can always cop them during optimums edition case when it comes out

[maiden grotto]

@harsh dove would you know if the wooting one keys are compatible with the 60HE? My OG just died

[paper bloom]

Nope

[harsh dove]

I’d imagine the wobble to be better than jades on V2

[paper bloom]

Thats a good thing

Ig its either i wait till the test comes b4 jades ig

[maiden grotto]

They don't? Big rip

[paper bloom]

Cuz

Wooting one runs a diff chip and theyre not running HE chips to run it

So its incompatible

[polar girder]

Yo my plate mount stabs are chalked. Have they restocked the swag knights since you bought them originally you know? @harsh dove

I’m going to try the module screw-ins on the hype pp plate mount plate for the frog

And then prob get the swag knights if it works

OOS rn tho

Just curious

I haven’t been paying attention cuz I thought for sure these dirty son of a bitches would work.

[harsh dove]

Lemme see

Lookin rough

lol

[polar girder]

Ofc

[tawdry tree]

Should work

[polar girder]

Now I appreciate the concept of “I don’t need it now but I might at some point… BUY”

[tawdry tree]

😂

[harsh dove]

Yeah they’re like out of stock everywhere again

[polar girder]

Bruh

lol okay thanks, chief

Man I really wanted them when they came out but I thought I would never go back to screw in once I got frog mini

FOOL!

[harsh dove]

Happens to the best of us

[polar girder]

3 packs on mechmarket from Poland

[cold bloom]

Did you try the stock stabs yet?

I ordered cherry clip ins for my salvation Mx pcb I wanna get tomorrow when I get paid but I might have to order some durocks with it to use until those get here

[polar girder]

I’m going to try the module stabs

I already sold my stock Wooting with the stock plate mount

[tawdry tree]

Only Durock V3s, not V2s.

[polar girder]

Those would’ve probably worked fine

I’ll try module screw ins tonight

But they’re white

Ick

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, they should fit fine.

[polar girder]

But at least the keyboard would work lol

[paper bloom]

Theyre making new frog minis

[cold bloom]

Is there an issue with v2s on non wooting pcbs?

[tawdry tree]

We got stab racism before gta6

[paper bloom]

LOL

[heavy slate]

Guys what are the most simple mods I can do to my he 2 to make it sound better?

[paper bloom]

Uhh tape mod stabilizer relube

Spring swap

[cold bloom]

I would be putting them in a hotswap avacado pcb and the fr4 plate for the salvation

[tawdry tree]

V2s are too wide for Cherry spec/Wooting’s plates.

[cold bloom]

Not wooting plate

It is rn but I wanna make it an Mx build

[tawdry tree]

Oh, then it depends on the stab holes. Cherry spec is too narrow.

[paper bloom]

@polar girderTheyre making new frog's

[tawdry tree]

They’ll prob work just fine as they have very loose tolerances but still.

[paper bloom]

It wont be called the Frog anymore its gonna be called the VENOM60HE

Or VENOM60

With a gasket mount

[tawdry tree]

One with gasket and the other with tray iirc

[polar girder]

Yeah sort of but not really

Oh one is gasket?

[paper bloom]

I was hoping they would do a

[polar girder]

Curious

[paper bloom]

Maglev

[polar girder]

I saw the legerra thing

[paper bloom]

Cant wait for the new optimum case tho

The venom60 might be expensive af

[tawdry tree]

gimmick ahhhhh

[paper bloom]

No seriously the ones from melatrix was something else

[tawdry tree]

makes the case too big

🤮

[paper bloom]

The zoom65V3 isnt big tho

[polar girder]

Haven’t heard of the venom

[paper bloom]

It has everything

[polar girder]

Nothing on Geon discord about it don’t think

[paper bloom]

Its on geonworks livestream

[polar girder]

I lied

Ah

Yeah I don’t watch many keeb live streams

[paper bloom]

I as well

[polar girder]

They all require notifications and perfect timing and shit lol

[paper bloom]

Id just watch the VOD

[cold bloom]

VODs are the best for streams like that, so nice to be able to pause or rewind if something important comes up

[paper bloom]

I dont even watch livestreams unless its a vtubers

[thorn zealot]

Is this the case that replaced the frog mini

Or is it a new sep case

[paper bloom]

Replace

[thorn zealot]

Isn’t it tray mount

[paper bloom]

2

tray and gas

[thorn zealot]

I see

[polar girder]

Yeah but I think it’s like some pseudo gasket mount

Still 1 piece case

Unless it’s different version

Idk

[calm pulsar]

they finally sent my black jades out, order been in preparation for 4 days lol

[harsh dove]

Tried to go to work sick and boss made me go home

[polar girder]

Good

[tawdry tree]

Nice boss for once, holy. Hope you’re better soon bro

[polar girder]

Yeah rest up

[harsh dove]

Thanks yall

[harsh dove]

Yeah my bosses are pretty chill tbh

[cold bloom]

W boss

[paper bloom]

Gws man

Dont push urself

@unique adder

[stray tiger]

Only if they paid him sick time

[tawdry tree]

I assumed so 😂

[paper bloom]

PAID SICK LEAVE

LETS GO

[fluid ravine]

My dad when he wants me to go to school sick

Hope you're doing better

[unique adder]

guys

is msi ace max worth? cz i really wana buy +thinking for the future

[harsh dove]

If you're thinking for the future, buy AMD

[paper bloom]

Actually i forgot to say get AMD than intel

[unique adder]

i wana stick to intel

[paper bloom]

Btw thanks for telling me on the v2s and the jades ig i will wait it out

[harsh dove]

Yeah just hold off

[harsh dove]

Surprisingly they did, usually they don't lol

[unique adder]

i feel like amd is good for gaming only but intel beats on other stuff yk?

i dont just game

[harsh dove]

7950X is good for that or X3D

[paper bloom]

I run the 7800x3d

I can say hold off till the new amd chips come out

Or as ro what cam said

Now im off to bed

[harsh dove]

Yeah I'm waiting for new chips and gpus

I used to be Team Blue

No more

[paper bloom]

I wont be upgrading anytime till i get a new case

Went from a 4000d to a fractal torrent

[median spade]

Buy 14900k

[harsh dove]

ew

[paper bloom]

U know what fk u intel

Na sike im fine with both just do whatever

[unique adder]

i saw the the i9 14900k has ai built to auto overclock

[harsh dove]

Imo that stuff isn't very good

[median spade]

Always remember, never buy AyyMD

[cold bloom]

Yeah intel has never had the best ai overclocking but this is supposed to be a bit better

[harsh dove]

I've tested them new AI Auto Tuners and they suck , at least right now

just early stages

[unique adder]

exactly

idk ma

i feel like intel has more good stuff idk

in game perfomance ik amd beats

[cold bloom]

Intel isn’t too bad to overclock anyway theres plenty of good guides to follow

[unique adder]

but idk if i can get used to amd

[harsh dove]

Nah it's just personal preference, doesn't really matter

All case by case

[unique adder]

if i the msi ace max motherboard idk if amd is compatible tbh

[harsh dove]

If its and intel board, no

[harsh dove]

What do you need out of a $500 board though

[unique adder]

honestly

i just been wanting it

since

apearence

so ion see a issue

its next gen board ngl

max speed memorys i found are 7200mhz

where are the 8ks

[harsh dove]

Yeah I'm just asking cause usually most people don't need that or don't fully utilize a board like that, but if you just want it for aesthetics that's fair enough lol

[unique adder]

i want a 4070ti suprim x too

its so sexy

sexiest gpu out there ngl

suprim x series

[stark osprey]

If you're looking to max out memory speed, Asus Apex Encore can crack over 8000

[unique adder]

i cant find

[stark osprey]

dual dimm, but no way youre going to crack 7000 let alone 6 on 4 dimms

[unique adder]

?

so its useless on the ace max 7200mhz?

[stark osprey]

2 dimm slots only, not 4

[harsh dove]

Yeah gl w 4

only way you're gonna do it is with 2

[unique adder]

why not 4

[harsh dove]

Unstable basically

at that high of speeds between 4 dimms

[unique adder]

so i can only use 2 slots if i put 8000mhz memorys or?

[harsh dove]

Can look all over reddit of peeps not being able to get those speeds with 4 dimm

yeah

[unique adder]

wait

so the motherboard

not worth?

wahts the max seped i can get then?

[stark osprey]

Depends what youre going to be doing. Max speed determined by mobo, your ram sticks, how well the chips are binned, ram timings. Alot of factors

[harsh dove]

^

RNG basically

[somber roost]

yep the silicon lottery is real

[unique adder]

i cant find any 8000mhz atm

biggest i found is 7200mhz

[median spade]

Yeah you need to manually OC for 8000

Mines at 7800 currently

[unique adder]

how do i that

[boreal fjord]

Henlo

[polar girder]

2 slots like the motherboard has two slots. Not just that you put 2 sticks in BTW

[boreal fjord]

Whom here has the gummy mounting experience

[polar girder]

handful of us

[boreal fjord]

i have an o ring on the way and wanted to know during the installation will i require to buy something to hold the pcb in place aside from the o ring itself

[polar girder]

No

O ring fits between PCB and plate pretty ez

[boreal fjord]

So ot can just be foam/fill pcb & plate

It*

[polar girder]

Yeah

Light work

[boreal fjord]

Also should i remove the standoffs in my board?

[polar girder]

If they interfere

[boreal fjord]

hmmm

What would be considered an interference?

like it doesnt have clearance?

Its hard to know without the ring yet

Lastly wanted to know what would be the best way to unmount my pcb without removing all my keycaps

I see it all the time but never tried lol

Welp actually disregard that i have to replace my stabilizers anyhow

[torn summit]

yo anyone knows any lavender/purple deskmat ? Someone recommended me the magical girl deskmat from thekeycompany but for some reason they cant ship to my adress so id like some other recommendation

[boreal fjord]

They're a few websites i cant think of on the top of my head but i know drop is a source

Im not sure where my girlfriend got hers

Also amazon

[torn summit]

well i didnt find desk mats that fit what i wanted on drop but i did find the gmk serenity set

which is SO much better than the cherry taro set

especially the compact kit oh wow its so incredible

[boreal fjord]

Fair im not the hugest fan of whatever drop has to offer myself

[tawdry tree]

buying components based on specs: ☝️🤓
buying components based on aesthetics: 🗿🗿

[unique adder]

real asf

[torn summit]

its like 40 euros more but its definitely worth it

[harsh dove]

I do both

[tawdry tree]

☝️🗿

[harsh dove]

[dawn stag]

you don't need 8000mhz

[unique adder]

ok

but

i want

8000mhz

[harsh dove]

https://youtu.be/WRI94x5MEMM?si=KomCKnrrAVvLqFYN

Make Bigger Number Better

The More You Buy The More You Save

[sacred sable]

As anyone tried the new Durock V3s? and how they would compare to TX stabs

[dawn stag]

you won't even notice a difference between 8000 and 6000 for most things

kinda just wasting money

[elfin garnet]

Haven't seen anything other than shit being talked about them in this channel, but people are still insisting on buying them. I don't get it. I thought you would go with screw ins like the rest of the froggers in here. I must have missed you talking about plate mounts

[polar girder]

Frick I had no clue

I suck

[heavy slate]

https://www.amazon.com/RUNJRX-Keyboard-0-53oz-Switch-Gateron/dp/B09GVPWBV7/ is this lube kit good for the he2?

[unique adder]

i got money

[elfin garnet]

There's sw knights screw ins in stock at antipode.no. Can't remember if you're EU or US, but I could buy 'em and send it to you if needed @polar girder

[marsh saffron]

I know this message is old but where can I find this software

[polar girder]

Well so what’s difference of using plate mount plate with screw in vs using screw in plate with screw ins?

[polar girder]

I’m US but I’m down

[tawdry tree]

On Wooting’s github it’s called Analog Monitor

[polar girder]

If it doesn’t make it too cost prohibitive

[marsh saffron]

Ty

[polar girder]

Tempted to just get a CF screw in plate tho

[elfin garnet]

Couldn't tell you the difference, but screw ins are known to work so that's what I went with on my frog. They only have clear screw ins at antipode. No plate mount and no black

[polar girder]

Ahh alright I’ll wait then. Thanks anyway

[elfin garnet]

"Sort" being black

[polar girder]

Yeah maybe I’ll have a new plate by the time they come back in stock

[polar girder]

Understood. 🫡

[elfin garnet]

yeah they might. I don't mind grabbing them for u if needed tho, let me know

[uneven cradle]

Isn't screw in the one with issues
#🪛│modding_faq message

Also do you have a 60he or a 60he+? @polar girder
Because if you're like me and have a standard 60he you're stuck with plate mount anyway

[harsh dove]

What I miss

[unique adder]

tf is this?

[polar girder]

Module

[pulsar plinth]

I got a gh60 case, but it has an extra standoff in the middle, it seems to line up with a useless hole on the 60he pcb, but should I remove the standoff to be safe?

[harsh dove]

Yes

It's not required

[tawdry tree]

If you can’t remove the standoff, I’d screw it in. You can get ticking otherwise

Go for PCB mounts when you can 😌

[pulsar plinth]

Thank you

[elfin garnet]

Stabs. What do you mean?

[elfin garnet]

I was talking about the SW Knight screw in stabs, not the TX AP ones

[uneven cradle]

Oh well the original comment you replied to was referring to TX AP

[crystal bridge]

Quick question about the 60HE+ and if I switch to the jade magnetic switches will I still be able to customize the actuation point and use the rapid trigger feature?

[glossy pagoda]

Yes

Only difference is that "fully pressed" is 3.4mm not 4.0mm

[crystal bridge]

okay perfect thanks.

[fluid ravine]

Isn't it 3.5mm?

[glossy pagoda]

According to this, #🪛│modding_faq message
Yes you're right

[tawdry tree]

According to this, you’re right. 😉

[elfin garnet]

yeah so TX AP stabs are the ones I'm referring to when I say they are being talked shit about and SW Knight was recommended by Aligner (and I know CAM uses them too) in the same conversation so I said I could grab them for Bigsly in EU since they are sold out in the US.

[median spade]

Guys how do I mod my 60he to make me heal faster

[polar girder]

Bro I want to return psd60 gasket and shipping to China is $220

[fluid ravine]

MORE MAGNETS

[fluid ravine]

HAH? WHAT

deadass????

😭

[polar girder]

Yeah kprepublic says just ship it back to China

[median spade]

Welp guess you’re keeping it

[polar girder]

FedEx international says ok $220

[fluid ravine]

..

[median spade]

If you use pirateship.com you’ll get way cheaper

[fluid ravine]

well gotta keep it then

[polar girder]

Maybe try and sell it for $40 online

I’m reaching out to them to see if they can help with shipping

[fluid ravine]

wait how much was it on the website?

[median spade]

Like USPS offers but then you got to trust if USPs will get in there

[polar girder]

But doesn’t seem like it

[median spade]

They won’t

Wouldn’t even bother asking

[polar girder]

Yeah and there’s all sorts of customs and paperwork for it

So toxic lol

[median spade]

Go on pirateship.com and see what you get, cheapest you’ll find

[fluid ravine]

oh $68.80

mann

sell for 50?

[polar girder]

I mean anything

Yeah sure

[median spade]

Oh yeah if you spent that much even the usps option which includes customs will be like $25-$30 still

What color you get

[loud zephyr]

Frog Legarra and the pricing looks juicy

[median spade]

Maybe I’m in the mood for trying to drill the plate

[median spade]

Yeah but tray mount zZzz

Just with frog design

[polar girder]

I’m suddenly tempted

[median spade]

Is it black?

[polar girder]

Black

Ofc

[median spade]

I shall think on it

[loud zephyr]

still a good price especially in comparison to Baion

[median spade]

Oh for sure

I just don’t think most people were getting it for the look for their 60he

It was for sound and feel

[loud zephyr]

true

[polar girder]

are there any pics or renders of these new geon 60HE cases?

[median spade]

Geon making it of course for the gamers he has testing the venom pcb mostly

Who wanted very light

[loud zephyr]

just gimme that 7u and the good split

[median spade]

Truth

[median spade]

Think they’re still just frog design iirc

[loud zephyr]

the f2-60 was so close and then he thought... nahhh

[median spade]

Yeah taking forever on it haha

Might be the one more keyboard I buy for Mx as I just love my f1-8x

[uneven cradle]

It's next on the upcoming products page

[median spade]

Fave keyboard ever since I got it

[uneven cradle]

https://www.youtube.com/live/f3MPjsOfwGM

Some cad designs in the livestream

But yeah tray mount

Also taking like all the weight out of it

[polar girder]

Uninspired

[elfin garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/meeting-bored-office-spaces-asleep-drowsy-gif-5385105

[cold bloom]

So frustrating

Like all the world needs is another tray mount 60% case right

Oring is atleast a good mounting system but isn’t really innovative either

Everyone really is obsessed with recreating the kbdfans 5* case it seems lately

In their own flavour lol

Atleast kbdfans new version of it the 461e has a gasket mount we haven’t really seen yet in 60% the way it’s done, that and probably optimum anyway

[fluid ravine]

great we need to dremel our pcb now

yey

[cold bloom]

LOL go ahead

I'm not doin that

[calm pulsar]

I like the idea of 461e's mounting style but damn it looks bad for my taste

[loud zephyr]

yeah, I've got nothing in mind MX wise but keen to buy a Realforce 86u. If only it wasn't so hard to find

[median spade]

Well that one is true o ring like unikorn

[median spade]

One of the best rubreh domeh

[cold bloom]

fair

[uneven cradle]

Man I been spending a lot on keyboards 💸

[loud zephyr]

keep going

Don't worry this next purchase is about to be the big one

And then we wait to win a raffle or the next interesting GB

[fluid ravine]

"Nipple Case"-The Thockfather

[uneven cradle]

Not wrong

Weird looking case

[loud zephyr]

that could only be the one and only Finalmouse Centerpiece.... surely

[uneven cradle]

Hopefully f2-60 if geon ever gets to releasing it

Would rather shit in my hands and clap then buy the centrepiece

[cedar gate]

Does anyone own 461e

[loud zephyr]

Forget the F2 that dream is dead and buried, just make an offer to Baldur for this sample instead https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1186265045227802714/1220933880396120247/img_0206.png?ex=668ea588&is=668d5408&hm=14b7e8e6e07a24670f438d65ad84f131636f11d144808b855559c157fff589ae&

[harsh dove]

Whys this give 80HE case vibes

https://tenor.com/view/skeptical-futurama-fry-hmmm-i-got-my-eyes-on-you-gif-17101711

[uneven cradle]

It is an 80he proto

[somber roost]

yea this was the cerakote 80he prototype afaik

[harsh dove]

Oh okay lol I'm like there was an F2 that looked like that wtf?

[uneven cradle]

#🌟│wooting80he message

[cold bloom]

I need that wtf

if I was gonna get an 80HE that would be an instant cop

[uneven cradle]

Unfortunately cerakoting would add to the cost of the case significantly

But you can always get it done by a local cerakoting service

[tawdry tree]

You’d have to get the paint or UV coating off first, not sure how easy the latter is to remove.

[stray tiger]

Most good cerakote companies will just sand/bead blast it first so it should be fairly easy

[harsh dove]

^

[tawdry tree]

Oh nice

[harsh dove]

Yeah and cerakoting that would cost around $100-200 depending on where you live

[tawdry tree]

It’s worth if the result is magnificent

[uneven cradle]

I got a cerakoted tofu60 for like $120 it's kind of plain looking though because I just got it in armor black

[tidal frigate]

Tho can you bonk melon without breaking cerakote?

[median spade]

Spacecables does great cerakoting

[harsh dove]

Wally Patina FTW

[median spade]

No idea who that even is

Oh he’s in the Netherlands

Yeah space cables in Texas

[harsh dove]

Yeah I'm getting some stuff done by Wally

Finally got my Bumpons in the mail just now

[pallid echo]

i’ve been gone for a minute, did i miss any top tier switches or are jades still the go to

[uneven cradle]

Pretty much jades still the go

[harsh dove]

Yeah we're basically just getting a bunch of jade variants from different manu's lately

[red abyss]

hey completly new to this what are some nice alu cases for the wooting 60he?

[fluid ravine]

https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f

[red abyss]

ty appreciate it

[fluid ravine]

Most commonly bought I'd say would be the tofu60 redux

Or even the Alumaze

[harsh dove]

Break the cycle

[pallid echo]

dang jades still goated, thank u guys

[harsh dove]

Don't buy a tofu

[fluid ravine]

yeah break it!

[harsh dove]

[fluid ravine]

buy cardboard!

[red abyss]

omg i want this

[fluid ravine]

:D

Holy60

[harsh dove]

oh fk

[fluid ravine]

oh lawd

[harsh dove]

That's not breaking the cycle

lol jk

[pallid echo]

new frog mini cases coming out soon right?

[harsh dove]

Yeah but the wooting compatible one is tray mount

[fluid ravine]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[harsh dove]

aka gross

Gasket or nothing

How to make Wooting faster^

Throw it

[pallid echo]

i bought the tadpole frog mini for my wooting from the aftermarket but i wanna get some fancy new switches for it

maybe i just get jades

[fluid ravine]

Break the cycle!!!

[fluid ravine]

Waiting for another opportunity

[harsh dove]

Mainly just wanna test the 461E

Don't care too much for looks

[fluid ravine]

Idk man

Nipple case looking smeggsy to me

[harsh dove]

hahah

[fluid ravine]

[harsh dove]

yeah I got the pine green one

gross

[fluid ravine]

oh damnnnnn

i mean..

[tidal frigate]

Gross and heavy

[harsh dove]

Lol yeah

It's looks fine, just getting bored of Tofu

[tidal frigate]

How durable cerakote is

[fluid ravine]

yea :/

[harsh dove]

So bootiful

[fluid ravine]

Indeed

[harsh dove]

Wish I grabbed Vior

probs gonna regret that

[tidal frigate]

What case would fit with gmk moonlight?

[fluid ravine]

hold a flippin sec

do i see dots ⚫

[harsh dove]

Yeah it's transparent

[fluid ravine]

[tidal frigate]

Yes thats stab holes

[fluid ravine]

I can barely see that shi

squinting the fk out of my eyes

holeh

[harsh dove]

a nice light grey or silver case imo

[fluid ravine]

Does the Nipple case comes with a plate

[tidal frigate]

So tofu?

[fluid ravine]

Case (With USB blocker) x1
Silicone pad x1
Case foam x1
Brass weights x1 set(3 pcs)
Laser screws x2 pcs
Brass decorative x2 pcs
Rubber feet x1 set
screws x1 set
Screwdriver (with 2 bits) x1
Barebone hook x1 (it could help you pick up the rubber gasket barebone from a tray mount easier)

nvm

Wait so where u get plate

[harsh dove]

If you do get Meteorite Gray

[fluid ravine]

for the rubber "gasket"

[tidal frigate]

It looks great

[harsh dove]

Would go well I think

[fluid ravine]

oh clean

[harsh dove]

Got colorful specks in it

Like GMK Cosmos

[tidal frigate]

Propably optimum tech case would fit too

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[uneven cradle]

I gotta pick up black snail with the novelties

[tidal frigate]

But propably it will be 150€ +

[uneven cradle]

Optimum case is same price as alumaze

[tidal frigate]

Is it out?

[harsh dove]

No

[uneven cradle]

Na but they revealed price on the livestream

[tawdry tree]

Tolerance wise, Raw HE are the best by far right now. Sound well, you know.

[pallid echo]

is there a massive difference between them and the raptor he? right now i got the raptor + lekker stem frankenswitch combo

[median spade]

That combo will be the tightest

[tawdry tree]

There’s no (initial) friction with the Raw HEs. Combine them with a Black Knight stem and you have the tightest tolerance switches without friction issues.

[pallid echo]

interesting, are there sound tests of this combo out right now?

[jade storm]

the only reason I wouldn't get this case

nipple condom sleeve

[cold bloom]

I almost got this before I got the salvation, it's so clean

there was a salvation colourway like that too

[tawdry tree]

Haven’t made a sound test of those yet but there are of the Raw HEs.

[pallid echo]

ahh gotcha, i’ll be looking out for any vids since ik those switches just came out

i only saw 1 so far

[tawdry tree]

I did one a couple days ago but I don’t care enough to get a good mic lmao

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[pallid echo]

i’ll take anything lololol thank you

[harsh dove]

Seems like they sound similar to Jades

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, a bit louder in person to me.

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[polar girder]

I kinda fuck with SA lol

Still absolutely hate these fricking gd red top housings tho

Rrrreeeee

[uneven cradle]

Just turn rgb off

[median spade]

SA

Looks good tho

Now you liking the frog mini

Yeah turn off rgb

[uneven cradle]

Still waiting on mine

[polar girder]

lol ok I am

Updating first

Can still see it

[uneven cradle]

Delayed my frog mini as they're waiting for standoffs to arrive

[pallid echo]

waiting for frog mini plate was torture

[polar girder]

Pp plate, plate foam, kilmat case, SA PBT with l45 stem swapped raptors

I like it

Sounds good

Fairly quiet

Space bar is cooked

No plate or foam or anything under it

Idk why they make that choice lol

Wooting wrist test fits it perfect ofc

Love

[pallid echo]

here’s my frog

[polar girder]

Although it does kind of ride up on it

[pallid echo]

my spacebar is cooked as well

[polar girder]

Nice!

Just glad it works again lol

Still waiting for better HE switch and will buy those swag nights

Prob get some better keycaps. Might get black on grey SA

[uneven cradle]

Stuck on plate mount

[pallid echo]

yea once better HE switches come out my build will be finisheddddd

[uneven cradle]

I did just get a package in today though

[pallid echo]

W

[uneven cradle]

See what I like best 👀

[pallid echo]

i wanna try the xinhai

heard those were so good

[polar girder]

To return $68 case

[tawdry tree]

bro, get some Black Knights

$20/70

It’s nothing

[polar girder]

sound same?

[tawdry tree]

Yes!

[polar girder]

i'm kind of hating the friction on the stem swapped raptors tbh

i would buy some black knights and some 35g springs

[tawdry tree]

Black Knights don’t improve stem wobble that much but the box stem does help with the bottom out wobble, a lot.

[polar girder]

aight bet

yeah i'm down

[dusky valley]

nvm

[tawdry tree]

Either on AE or directly from Moyu Studio, whatever is cheaper.

[fluid ravine]

SOUND TEST >:D

[polar girder]

lol ac is loud

[jade storm]

Can some motherfuckin motherfuckers make some motherfuckin blank keycaps? Why the fuck do I need to order fuckin Chinesium Amazon garbage shiny PBT keycaps?

[uneven cradle]

Nice cheap set for you https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-mtnu-graphite

[jade storm]

Don't want that profile

[calm pulsar]

it's crazy that these are still double shot which make no sense if you want thick pbt

[polar girder]

what you mean

[calm pulsar]

I think double shotting changes the sound slightly, making it not as deep as full thick pbt keycap

[polar girder]

I see

[uneven cradle]

I mean that's what sets them apart double shot is way harder to manufacture then dye sub and MTNU is 100% PBT

[harsh dove]

yep lol

I got my bumpons today tho, so I feel like it helped

Doesn't feel like it reverbs off my desk like before

[polar girder]

yea i don't absolutely hate my space bar. but crazy how diff it sounds from the rest of the keys

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[calm pulsar]

yeah since this is GMK the quality of plastic is probably superb

I was just thinking why not have it as one layer of plastic since double shot is harder to manufacture, but I guess they just don't the processes prepared for non-double shot manufacturing

[uneven cradle]

Yeah it's basically the best quality you can get and should last without shine for ages, just not sure about the profile

Also the current sets are pretty boring 😴

[cold bloom]

Everyone keeps saying the hmx switches are really loud in the salvation but I think I'm gonna try it lol

if I absolutely hate it I'll get a diff set like nixies and go full out eventually

I think my wooting spacebar in the salvation is finally where I want it tho, I realized I wasn't applying the dielectric grease as evenly as I could

had to push some more to the top of the tube

[fluid ravine]

i hate my spacebar

hardest thing to tune for the past 6 months for me

[calm pulsar]

I hate yalls spacebars, mine is the best

[fluid ravine]

mine was the best trust

[cold bloom]

I like the way this space sounds rn

I feel like I was hitting it a bit hard to make sure it got picked up tho lmao

[median spade]

Welcome to SA

[polar girder]

lol i'm still using the ghost bar for space

[polar girder]

ok there

[cold bloom]

yeah the alphas sound great

wonder what could help the space

[uneven cradle]

More lube

[fluid ravine]

im only running krytox on my stem and housing for mine

[cold bloom]

tear off some of the poron pad you originally got and use that somehow?

[fluid ravine]

not gonna put lube or grease on my wires until i manage to get them all sound evenly

[polar girder]

yeah i have a lot of foam or siliconre

thought about it

[fluid ravine]

my spacebar is driving me crazy

[cold bloom]

good idea

and why thackson

[polar girder]

thack lol

nice

[fluid ravine]

Ever since i got my gmk set my stabs have been sounding very shitty lately
Enter key sounding quiet and thin, right shift being neutral pitched and the other smacking the fk out of pcb, backspace sounds fine, left shift is idfk, my spacebar however... one side louder than the other, rattles like crazy (working my best on wire balancing and also my spacebar is somwhat warped)

at this point i finna just pray

I really want to like sell my pcb and like buy the module but most likely cant in my situation

[polar girder]

you still have a plastic case?

[fluid ravine]

if I could then I would sell it to @jade storm lol, but again rn not able to

[fluid ravine]

yeah

standoffs kinda fked

so cant do burger mount but still usable

[paper bloom]

Ive been running wooting stock case and phased out of my tofu

[fluid ravine]

w

good case for wooting tbh

cant lie

[paper bloom]

Its good for everything

[fluid ravine]

I fk with my configs when i was using my stock case before Pops gifted me a gh60

[paper bloom]

gh60 case?

[fluid ravine]

Yeah

Its a tofu v1 clone

[paper bloom]

O thas nice

[fluid ravine]

yup yup

[jade storm]

wait why>>>

[paper bloom]

Now im thinking about what would be a good 5 degree either im def waiting for optimum case tho and the new Lekker v2

[fluid ravine]

Honestly if Pops didnt gifted me it, i would most likely still be running stock case by now

[paper bloom]

Stand off's are fucked

[paper bloom]

Sometimes the most stock thing is the bestest thing

You can even brag about the mods and it is a stealth build

Who would find out

[fluid ravine]

I really want to have access to the pcb mounted stabs, but i would have to sell my pcb and use that money to buy a module

but in my situation rn i cant

[fluid ravine]

fr

[paper bloom]

I legit BG mounted it with my stock case and got a swag keys knights in it

Sooner or later i will do a cardboard

pad

[fluid ravine]

I miss how my stock configs sound, it was so good

was best no capuh

[paper bloom]

Imagine if a cardboard pad

[fluid ravine]

hm

[paper bloom]

did better than a poron pad

LOL

[fluid ravine]

dude i think that would be silent as well actually

or the switch would sound even thinner than silicone

[paper bloom]

When i ran it with the tofu

It was very poppy

LOL

[fluid ravine]

Wait case foam?

[paper bloom]

No cardboard

[fluid ravine]

I meant like what did you use the cardboard for/as

[paper bloom]

The normal cardboard

LOL

Pad

[fluid ravine]

Like plate foam? case? case foam?

oh-

dafuq

[paper bloom]

case foam

[jade storm]

DM me

[fluid ravine]

tahts what i meant 😭 i was thinking plate foam cus you said "pad"

[paper bloom]

Yes

[fluid ravine]

but yeah nvm makes sense it would be poppy then

[paper bloom]

I am now thinking about gasket mounted cardboard or a

[polar girder]

what you need to make full keyboard to sell?

[paper bloom]

Sandwich pad

[fluid ravine]

?

[paper bloom]

I got my 2nd wooting keyboard rn infact

I can sell it but the switches and stabs arent so fucky

[polar girder]

if i get black knights mayhbe you can have my raptors/l45's lol

[fluid ravine]

Honestly I would just sell the PCB and Plate just fine

[polar girder]

fair enough

[fluid ravine]

I am missing some stock keycaps

sooo

[polar girder]

i've got a couple a couple extra sets

can send you that black pc plate

but whatever works bro

[paper bloom]

I got one thats used and prebuilt on my 2nd wooting

[paper bloom]

if u need a white i cld be able to pass it to you

and leave the PCB bare

[fluid ravine]

No its all good, i still got my White pc plate and the stock steel plate

thank you though

[paper bloom]

Is cool

POV: I sell my 2nd keyboard which has the tofu case for 50 dollars

[fluid ravine]

If so then thanks! Noticing my plate standoffs having cracks on all of em (not on the thread bolt but the plastic around it) idk if i should be concern or not lol

[paper bloom]

Cuz it isnt in pristine condition anymore

[fluid ravine]

wild

ah

[paper bloom]

Ive sold my old RTX 3080

b4

for 150

[fluid ravine]

oh shiet

[calm pulsar]

damn

[paper bloom]

That was out of warrenty and used 2 yrs ago

Kept in my storage

Idk whats more insane selling it for 600 and have it lowballed or have it give away for free

[fluid ravine]

I saw a 3080ti FE refurbished for like $400 at the micro center near me

[paper bloom]

Brand new ?

O nvm

[paper bloom]

Thats still p good but 400 for a refurbished FE sounds like someones been cracking at datamining

[visual sonnet]

i feel there’s inconsistency in the way my switches sound. Is this normal?

mainly here

[fluid ravine]

Dude, out of topic, damn that chest LMAO

[visual sonnet]

HAHAHA thank you

[thorn zealot]

U are fucking huge

In a good way

Like a tank

[visual sonnet]

i look much better from better angles

[fluid ravine]

Ok realize this, each row will have a different tone or pitch do to its "placement"

the middle row should have a more neutral pitch throughout the whole board since its like dead middle

[visual sonnet]

weakest wooting enjoyer

[visual sonnet]

OHHH

okay that makes far more sense

[fluid ravine]

then expands the pitch etc etc

yip yap yop

[visual sonnet]

i get it now, i thought it would be consistent but i didn’t think it through

[fluid ravine]

Inconsitency between the switches would be if the switche sin the same row sound different than the others, which we would call dead spots, typically happens in all tray mount style boards

[visual sonnet]

is it possible to make a board gasket mounted?

i have the tofu 60 v1

[fluid ravine]

I mean yes you could, you would need to get a gasket mount case and a custom plate with gasket socks/adhesive and assemble it yourself

[fluid ravine]

The tofu60 and the redux are tray mount compatible only

Mounts you can do with these universal 60 tray mount style case are tray mount, burger mount, and even friction mount

[visual sonnet]

i’m considering burger mlunt, but the only problem is the screws

idk where to get the longer ones or even where to begin

[fluid ravine]

You could use the screws that you are using now

but if you need or want longer screws

Get M2*5-6

Can buy them online

[visual sonnet]

got it

[visual sonnet]

are you sure?

i would only need one burger ring actually because my case comes with this rubber thing over the standoffs

basically the lower part of the standoffs

[fluid ravine]

The closest thing you could do with the board to somewhat get similar results as a gasket mount board with a tray mount would be friction mount i say, with some somewhat dense foam to give a return or bounce/flex feeling

[fluid ravine]

You could use that, it's not exactly like burger mount but its tech it from what i heard

I'm not really sure what it's like bc i never tried it nor do i have it

[visual sonnet]

how do i do that and what would i need? just a quick rundown

[fluid ravine]

You know what gummy mount boards are?

[visual sonnet]

it basically prevents the PCB from scratching the standoffs

[visual sonnet]

unfortunately not, i’m new to the scene

[fluid ravine]

yeah im aware but i dont really know the thickness of it

[visual sonnet]

ah i see

[paper bloom]

50a or 3pa

30a*

[fluid ravine]

Ah so gummy mounted boards uses like a large o'ring that wraps around the module between the plate and pcb

[paper bloom]

At best the 30a to 50

Is widely used

But it depends on the case

Sometimes 50a wld fuck ur board

[fluid ravine]

and you would insert the module into the case causing it to friction fit, which would not fall out

[paper bloom]

Cuz of the fitting

N thickness

[fluid ravine]

Traditional gummy mount boards have half circle pcb cutouts for the oring to sit on the posts of your case, and when typing the oring should squish which should give you a softer typing feel like a gasket mounted board

but since the wooting pcb doesnt have cutouts, we would be only using the friction mount part of the oring

And the pcb would typically sit on either/both the standoffs and posts

But if you have foam that can return to its inital position like a pillow (talking about polyfill typically) you can get a bouncy/flexy feel

[visual sonnet]

ahh i understand

i like how you guys word it, it’s so less complicated

[calm pulsar]

does the pcb fall out if i turn over the keeb when friction mounted?

[fluid ravine]

Pro's against any standard tray mounts would be a softer typing feel and this would fix the dead spots problem (reminder that dead spots mean when the switches sounds inconsistent)

[fluid ravine]

shouldn't

Hence the word "friction"

[calm pulsar]

all right, I thought maybe it's not that firm since it can bounce down, but I assume this is just pcb flex

[cold bloom]

@fluid ravine I tried the poly fil in my salvation for now again with a bit less than before under the bottom, as I found it was kind of pushing it up a touch. So much better now

super fun to mess around with that stuff it's so easy

I think if anything I don't mind a small amount of it in this case for any build just to make sure you dont have any screws touching or any issues with the springs etc

[fluid ravine]

Yeah seperate the polyfill from the standoff for sure

[fluid ravine]

As expected

nj

[cold bloom]

It doesn't sound hugely different in sound tests but I think it just sounds cleaner in person

some of the modifiers would sound a bit off before when I had too much of it or without it sounded a bit hollow

[livid merlin]

just tried the GUGU black knight 55g switches, still not better than the ws dash/gat jade 😦

[fluid ravine]

Honestly for sound, i would run no case foam since the salvation is a good quality case, it doesnt really need foam

also allows the switch and module to sound more pure if that makes sense

less foam/no foam=pure case and switch sound

[cold bloom]

I just put a really small amount of poly fill cause I found sometimes the modifiers were a bit weird without it, and I think sometimes with the way the wooting assembly moves in it if its too tight it can touch the screws on the leafs almost

[calm pulsar]

try using upper housing from black knights on the jade

other than that yeah to me all switches that have holes are meh

[fluid ravine]

I think of foam as a bit of a modifier

nothing wrong with it ofc

all preference

[fluid ravine]

yeah yeah

I find polyfill with my friction the best choice every

[cold bloom]

agreed I just think I'm trying to use it more as a preventative thing rather than a real sound deadener

[fluid ravine]

even if i did the polyfill+tray mount, my modifiers are pingy as hell

since they almost make direct contact with the standoffs

[cold bloom]

yeah esp these plate mount ones I have

once I get my pcb and pcb mount stabs etc I'll take it out and try it that way

[fluid ravine]

heres examples of what my board does with friction mount and polyfill
Left-Silicone pad
Right-Poron pad
Nothing to different in the two vids but just to show

[livid merlin]

lol this is actually sick

with the stem too

clackin

[livid merlin]

the black knights are hella factory lubed

[calm pulsar]

yeah its oil, that's why its everywhere lol

[fluid ravine]

i swear flex and bounce just satisfy me to the extreme besides sound

[cold bloom]

I completely agree

[fluid ravine]

Like although even if it does seem you may have "less" flex (im not saying that you do), yours should be much much softer naturally when typing

even without the polyfill

but all that vs tray mount, such a big improvment to me

[cold bloom]

mine probably has a bit less flex rn, I can loosen it up a bit to get a bit more but I didn't like how it sounded as much and sometimes my spacebar would just barely hit the bottom edge

I went back to the original screws with 2 orings under the pcb where it screws in but a bit on the tighter side than before to avoid that, not sure if it's gonna be an issue as much with the hotswap pcb for it

since it was designed for this case

[livid merlin]

jade stem with knight upper housing sucks

but the knight stem/upper plus jade lower kinda good

[calm pulsar]

sucks as in sound? or is it too tight?

[livid merlin]

too tight

kinda want to change my mods to this frankenswitch

[calm pulsar]

yeah it can be like that, needs some breaking in

[fluid ravine]

Hate my spacebar sm

[calm pulsar]

that's funny because of all keycaps that I tried gmk ones are the best

[fluid ravine]

yeah :(

its the switches trust

I am in need of requiring new switches

[fluid ravine]

Fyi, I spent 3-4 hours just unlubing, lubing, and configurating which stem and housing mix would sound and feel best for some of the modifiers as hurricane beryl pass by my city/place

and yet still havent manage to get the spacebar to sound even

[iron juniper]

hey all, any suggestions for white and red keycaps with japanese sublegends? looking for mostly white with red accents but the other way around also works! thanks in advanced

[calm pulsar]

oh btw I have the same sound card xd

[fluid ravine]

hm?

[calm pulsar]

how do you call it

audio interface

[fluid ravine]

Ah yes

Audio interface

Audient Evo 4 :)

Love it

Preamps are so good

I bought this as a testing interface between the scarlett and the evo 4, returned the scarlett as i found out the pre amps are better and the use case like xlr ports positioning was best suited for my setup

I was suppose to buy one from CAM but my dad ended up keeping it as a summer present making it through freshman year in high school (sry CAM but dad made his choice xd)

Honestly CAM put up a good price for me, idk why my dad didnt just return this testing one and buy one from him xd

guess he got "lazy"

lul

[thorn zealot]

Any more news on that optimum case

[calm pulsar]

maybe didnt want to deal with buying from an individual and wanted to just keep the one you already had

[fluid ravine]

ig

Bought mine for $120

so -10 from the original price

CAM was willing to sell for 100 iirc

105-115 with shipping ofc

:^

Chat should i try the plumber mod or wtv its called

[thorn zealot]

??

[fluid ravine]

the thing where you put like plumbers tape around the uh

stab wire

[calm pulsar]

chat is this guy really talking like he's a streamer

[fluid ravine]

yes

[calm pulsar]

[fluid ravine]

CHAT SHOULD I DO IT

[thorn zealot]

Chat are we for real rn

[fluid ravine]

Mannn chat you gotta be trolling

[livid merlin]

Damn saiku thanks i like this on the mods

[calm pulsar]

I was thinking to do it on all switches, but itll need a ton of breaking in lol

[fluid ravine]

how tf do i do this lmao

[calm pulsar]

hollow ass tray mount ass keeb

[fluid ravine]

Sounds like a tray mount keeb

what caps

[calm pulsar]

gmk wob

[fluid ravine]

yeah my spacebar giving the same vibe rn

[calm pulsar]

yeah ill try friction mount when the module arrives

[fluid ravine]

yay

[uneven cradle]

Wob gang

[thorn zealot]

U guys think that optimum case and silicon pad will come this month

[fluid ravine]

i think august

[calm pulsar]

im gonna put black snail with novelties on my next build

[thorn zealot]

Hopefully

[calm pulsar]

I think my scuffed POM plate from aliexpress is not evenly pressed against the pcb, so it flexes weirdly and plate mount stabs have extra ticking

gonna be trying CF and FR4 plates with screw-ins/clip-ins

[fluid ravine]

wait chat

wait sry im losing my mind rn xd

1:30am

but this mod might be the real deal?

[cold bloom]

I love my evo 4

so good

[fluid ravine]

fr

[calm pulsar]

he doesn't know PepeLaugh

[fluid ravine]

👀

[cold bloom]

what mic do you use @fluid ravine

[calm pulsar]

but fr never heard of it xdd

[cold bloom]

I have an mv7 with mine but I still find I need a fethead to boost it a bit more

[fluid ravine]

using a fifine k688

kinda regret the purchase as i couldve gotten smth else

but still a good budget mic for me

arent fethead like kinda expensive

[cold bloom]

was like 100$ ish cad, similar to the dynamite preamp

[fluid ravine]

Not gunne lie, i think it helped a little

Heres a vid of it before^ (Yes the vid from earlier)

[calm pulsar]

I want to head jades in your keyboard

[fluid ravine]

PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Im dying for new switches rn

Still waiting for opportunity

Anybody knows if Neo lavenders or Geon RAW HE gonna come to the states

like how raptors did

[calm pulsar]

I dunno but I hope geon puts raw he's on aliexpress

[fluid ravine]

Yeah same

I dont remember what it sounded like

but i all i remember i said to myself is that it sounds more louder/poppier than the jades

sm shi

idr

[calm pulsar]

probably cause its a combination of open bottom and the magnet hitting something like with jades

[paper bloom]

@fluid ravine u cld check ur 3rd party sellers

Here in singapore there are stores that sell jades and raptors

[cold bloom]

was there someone here before that had raw he switches already??

[harsh dove]

Nix

[calm pulsar]

yeah multiple guys

[cold bloom]

yeah

lucky

wonder if the top housing will fit jades, I don't think the raptor one does very well

I tried once and it was super tight

[calm pulsar]

it does not fit gateron stems

[cold bloom]

I meant bottom housings but also fair

[calm pulsar]

hmm bottoms... it might fit but be aware of even shorter travel than on jades

[cold bloom]

true, I think when I tried the raptor housing on jades/gateron bottoms it didnt really fully close so it might not even work

just a thought

[calm pulsar]

isnt black knights housing the same as raptors? because I tried BK top on the jades and it fit and actually reduced wobble

[cold bloom]

maybe, not sure. I'd have to try again and see if I was tripping one sec

[harsh dove]

Yeah pretty much

[fluid ravine]

Alr y'all ima dip, feeling the eye bags dropping

Gn

[harsh dove]

Gn bro

[calm pulsar]

gn gn

[cold bloom]

It never fully closes here for me

The back left corner
