Standoffs and the little tabs around the edge of the tofu

Basically any PCB to metal contact has 2-3 layers of medical tape

[cold bloom]

ah fair, Idk if mine has the tabs on the edge but I'll double check

I think the og tofu I have just has the standoffs and the 2 side ones are kinda molded into the side of the case

[marsh saffron]

I don't have any pics but can send some when I'm back at my place tomorrow evening

[cold bloom]

sounds good that would be appreciated

[fluid ravine]

im just waiting for them to come to the states so i dont gotta pay for the shipping cost

Dont mind paying $50 but likeee

[cold bloom]

Agreed

[fluid ravine]

should be long enough until i get a opportunity just to get it

need to save up some money so i can build my nephew his first keyboard for christmas as well lol

[tidal frigate]

Cool is it 60he?

[fluid ravine]

Nah

I'm too broke to buy one

[harsh dove]

@stray tiger @fluid ravine what protein shake ? Lol looks like it never happened

Just finished deep cleaning it

[fluid ravine]

idk man

jkjkjkjkjkk

Nj

Glad you got it cleaned

[harsh dove]

[uneven cradle]

Just want frog mini

[harsh dove]

No

You don’t

[fluid ravine]

NUH UH

[harsh dove]

Unless you want cooked spacebar

[fluid ravine]

stay here with me >:(

[fluid ravine]

idk man, my spacebar is already deep fried

[harsh dove]

Lmao

I think I’ve made a lot of improvements to it but I also feel like this is about as good as it gets

[fluid ravine]

it can be better

[uneven cradle]

I already bought it last Monday just waiting for it to arrive it got delayed due to waiting for stand offs to arrive

(I have stand offs )

[harsh dove]

I should give putty another shot, just try using less this time, I feel like if I use too much it alters the sound too much and sounds weird

[harsh dove]

Rip

[fluid ravine]

idk if i regret puting neoprene foam in my spacebar or not

if i remove it, its just looks ugly now cus of the adhesive shi on it

i mean i cant even see it anyways but idk

i still need to fix it as well, its a bit warped

[uneven cradle]

I can fix her

[fluid ravine]

:(

[tidal frigate]

@harsh dove do I need standoffs for custom cases?

[harsh dove]

If you do lmk

It’s def better with POM plate but I wanna use Alu

And I’ll die on this hill

[uneven cradle]

Need that PP plate

[harsh dove]

No

lol

Alu only

[fluid ravine]

Custom plates yeah, but if you're making a custom case, also yeah, would need to drill holes to install a standoff bolt at the specific location of the standoffs if you're using the universal tray mount.

[harsh dove]

For custom plates yes

Cases no

Well that could depend

But most likely no

[fluid ravine]

Custom or aftermarket cases?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

custom wood cases

Custom wooding

[harsh dove]

The WoodingPecker65HE

[uneven cradle]

Every wood case I've heard sounds horrible fr

[harsh dove]

Yup

[fluid ravine]

indeed

[stray tiger]

Like new

[fluid ravine]

hollow

[harsh dove]

I wouldn’t mind getting a bamboo case tho and somehow getting it to sound like I’m typing on hollow bamboo

[fluid ravine]

It is what it's expected

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[harsh dove]

Yeah

https://tenor.com/view/bermusik-ali-kribo-starhits-pemusik-bambu-gif-19282698

Me fr

[fluid ravine]

Choose your weapon

[harsh dove]

This is me before I make my bamboo board

[harsh dove]

Gotta find the best piece of bamboo

[quiet bay]

Found this out on the sidewalk

[fluid ravine]

hollup-

[harsh dove]

You moving out?

Oh

Lmao

[fluid ravine]

DID YOU TAKE IT

[quiet bay]

Uh

Its just there

[fluid ravine]

FK

[quiet bay]

Im still here

[fluid ravine]

o

take it home you wont

[harsh dove]

Good ol IBM board

[fluid ravine]

tinker with it >:D

[quiet bay]

idk

[fluid ravine]

aw

:(

[harsh dove]

Bro that board has OG Nixies in it what are you doing

[quiet bay]

Shood I take it

?

[fluid ravine]

YES

[quiet bay]

Should

[harsh dove]

Lmao I’m joking

[quiet bay]

Cd

[fluid ravine]

nah idk

[quiet bay]

Xd

[fluid ravine]

LOL

I would out of interest

:p

[queen herald]

yo, my staebies stabs are getting stuck on my 60+he are there any fixes

[fluid ravine]

[harsh dove]

Different stabs unfortunately

Staebies don’t work

[fluid ravine]

#🪛│modding_faq message

Yeah gl, they dont work

too thicc

[harsh dove]

They’re too ^

[queen herald]

😩 😩 😩

i spent so long holee modding just to find out ripp

[fluid ravine]

oh damn

[queen herald]

are the stock any good should i just stick to them?

[harsh dove]

Yes

[fluid ravine]

yeth

[tawdry tree]

It’s some of Gateron with some of Grain Gold. You can’t really know how good the results are though, maybe molds differer slightly or small things like that.

[tawdry tree]

holee modding staebies is quitw impressive

[fluid ravine]

i did plumbers mod on my tx ap for the first time last night

i did pretty bad lol

ill try again later

[queen herald]

thanks, just have to save it for another build

[tawdry tree]

get a file or sandpaper and start 😂😂

[queen herald]

💀 im gonna do it

[fluid ravine]

yooooo

I would too tbh :>

do it only once and never think abt it again

stab screwed onto pcb anyways

heh

[tawdry tree]

exactly

[fluid ravine]

bro got the guts

i loike

[tawdry tree]

bro holee modded staebies, he can do anything

[cedar gate]

Any info on the gatreon foxes

[tawdry tree]

not optimally compatible from Thockfathers test

They’re not rly special anyway tho so it doesn’t matter

[cedar gate]

Huh cool

BTW im still using jades is that still the meta or has something better been released

[median spade]

Holee modding Staebies that’s so cursed

Holee mod kind of sucks in general ngl

[fluid ravine]

yea :/

Would rather just lube it

[tawdry tree]

It’s annoying to do for durocks, but staebies.. bro is insane

[fluid ravine]

I honestly dont think you need any of these mods at all

like thick lube or grease and you're fine

[cedar gate]

Yeah stab modding is really just for bad stabs

[tawdry tree]

For sound? Not really.

[fluid ravine]

unless you got a whole warped wire then idk 💀

[cedar gate]

For wooting stabs you don't need to mod I wouldn't go farther than maybe lubing and tuning

[queen herald]

youre sure this is the part that compresses?

[fluid ravine]

yes

[tawdry tree]

Yes. That’s the side that presses against the stabs the most

[fluid ravine]

we have already done tests on it

Pushes the housing inward making the stem stuck

https://tenor.com/view/dog-stuck-dog-between-car-seats-gif-26134032

[tawdry tree]

You should be able to see it if you look at the module (with staebies installed) from the front. You can see them slanting

[harsh dove]

Yeah I feel like they keep changing tolerances on us so have to figure out what we can mix n match

They just need to zero in on the best tolerance and go from there

[tawdry tree]

Yeah but I like that though, everytime that happens it’s interesting at least.

With Gateron it’s just antoher Jade recolor again and again.

😅

[harsh dove]

Yes, and you don't wanna sand the thin legs, cause you could make their structural integrity too weak and they'll just snap

[harsh dove]

Nah I agree

[harsh dove]

and yeah I mean Jade tolerances are good but then can be better so it would be nice if they stop making recolors lol

Use some diff materials

[cold bloom]

he switches with LY stem when

[tawdry tree]

Yeah diff materials or just something interesting, something nice

[harsh dove]

Yeah

I'm pretty burnt out on the Jade recolors after all the ones I've tested

[cold bloom]

I had a random thought the other day about he switches, I wonder what having the magnet more towards the middle of the stem would sound like

[harsh dove]

I still want Raw HEs tho

[cold bloom]

would probably require some tweaking of the magnetic strength and pcb but I was thinking what if there was a small plastic piece below the magnet

[tawdry tree]

Higher up in the stem you mean?

[cold bloom]

so it wasn't what was contacting the bottom

yeah

idk if its possible but was just thinking

[tawdry tree]

Could be good ngl

[cold bloom]

it would be cool to see if it ends up working

[harsh dove]

I won't be surprised if we see something like that tbh

[cold bloom]

same

[tawdry tree]

but the magnets don’t impact the bottom of the housing currently, they’re seated a bit up alrwady

tiny bit

[harsh dove]

If its wooting compatible, that's another story

[cold bloom]

true but I guess the weight is so far down

[tawdry tree]

would be interesting

[cold bloom]

maybe over time we'll see them improve magnets to use smaller ones they can hide up the stem a bit

idk

[harsh dove]

Could give for a different sound on closed bottom switches, idk how much that would affect open bottom as they don't really have a bottom out sound cause the stem isn't hitting anything

[cold bloom]

that's what I was thinking

im sure you could get some good acoustics with a more plastic on plastic bottom out

[queen herald]

im using a nail file hahahaha

[harsh dove]

You got this bro

[tawdry tree]

tbh i’m not sure if it’d affect sound at all, the magnet is really light and all the force is just from you.

[harsh dove]

You holee modded Staebies, you can do anything

[cold bloom]

nail file is the only file I have lmao I was struggling trying to file down the leaf springs for my salvation

but I got it done

[cold bloom]

it's not very heavy but compared to regular mx stems it's "heavier" just wondered if it was possible

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[harsh dove]

I think the only difference would be the plastic on plastic but even then like you said the magnet is slightly up in the stem, so it's technically plastic on plastic already

[cold bloom]

yeah I guess it's already like .1 .2mm up

just maybe the bit of plastic at the end is thin

and kinda circular

might sound a bit more full if it was a solid piece at the end

[harsh dove]

Yeah like a thin spacer

[cold bloom]

yeah

[queen herald]

see you guys in 10 years im making 0.01% progress per minute

its 2 am but im determined

[harsh dove]

Personally I would've just gone back to stock stabs or bought new ones

[queen herald]

my blood sweat and tears have been used on those stabs (my stock spacebar is rattly)

[harsh dove]

Haha fair

[tawdry tree]

progress is progress

you can use a hobby knife as well if you have one but be careful ofc

[uneven cradle]

My spacebar was cooked when I first added my new stabs but a bit of extra lube and they were good to go

[harsh dove]

Yeah I feel like my spacebar sounds great its just louder than the rest of the board

That's really my only gripe with Frog Mini

Spacebar can sound good just loud af

But I also don't wanna completely mute it with Foam or Putty

[tawdry tree]

laughs in triple split spacebar

[harsh dove]

lmao

[median spade]

Loud space bar good

[harsh dove]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

Like this good lol?

[uneven cradle]

I ain't mad at it

[harsh dove]

I'm not too fussed about it either but

idk

lol

[dim coral]

Hi everyone, new here! I pre-ordered the 80HE and trying to get some suggestions for switches for it. I was really excited about the Sticky Rice ones, but didn't see a lot of positive reviews here. Any recommendations on pre-lubed switches that have that "deep thock" sound?

[cold bloom]

idk where tf dhl is

but I want my fr4 plate

[queen herald]

the stabs on right shift and enter are so close to each other

my enter stab wont go in

[cedar gate]

Best screw in stabs for wooting

[queen herald]

not staebies dont make my mistake

[cedar gate]

Want to compare friction mounted tx ap snapins to burger mounted screw ins

[tidal frigate]

Lekkers v2 should be deep

And thocky

@harsh dove do you have calsock switch cheatsheet?.

Nevermind found it

[median spade]

Yeah I like it

[tidal frigate]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message here is list of switches for now

Tho thockiest would be gateron jades

[fluid ravine]

ermmmmmm

omg did i miss this xd

[polar girder]

lol wut

[fluid ravine]

thats what i was thinking

I hate going against peoples words but like, um i dont think thats tru Jaku

[dim coral]

nice! okay, will check them all out. Thank you!

[tidal frigate]

Just pick ones with right polarity

Otherwise switch is not going to work

[cedar gate]

Is oil king good on tofu65

With fr4 plate and pbtfans keycaps

[tidal frigate]

Depends

[cedar gate]

On what I told you all the variables

[cold bloom]

Finally

[fluid ravine]

ayyy

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/mujikcboro-seriymujik-gif-24361533

Brush

[cold bloom]

Have you ever tried using 7 of the 8 standoffs and leaving the spacebar one out?

I didn’t this time but was curious

[harsh dove]

I'm a weirdo who only uses two screws in my tray mounts

[cold bloom]

I meant between the plate and the pcb

and yeah this plate sounds amazing in the salvation

will do a sound test rq

[harsh dove]

Oh I use all 8

[fluid ravine]

i got so curious i just tried it just now

[cold bloom]

how did it work

wait sorry wrong format

[fluid ravine]

i think it made my spacebar high pitched

[cold bloom]

interesting, maybe just not seated as well without sockets or solder I guess

or the standoff

in this case

[fluid ravine]

im trying to find the difference rn

bottom out is kindaaaa

uhhh

idk

[cold bloom]

fair

[fluid ravine]

clunky?

idk i cant tell

[cold bloom]

what do you think of my spacebar on that last vid compared to before

I really like this plate in the salvation

[fluid ravine]

wait drop the before video

[cold bloom]

I also used that thin switch pad it came with and I think that's helping

one sec

before

[cold bloom]

after

[fluid ravine]

yeah yeah the after spacebar is lower pitched

[cold bloom]

yeah it's nice

[fluid ravine]

i like both tbh

[cold bloom]

true

[fluid ravine]

nice and even

[cold bloom]

I think I just prefer the fr4 plate personally

but both good

I think that's why this hobby is so fun some stuff is objective but some is super subjective lol

[fluid ravine]

The lower pitched one is more noticeable during typing actually

[cold bloom]

yeah I agree

[fluid ravine]

the higher pitched just blends right in with the alphas

[cold bloom]

it got a bit mushy when typing on the pc plate

I think cause it's so soft with that long cutout near the spacebar switch

when it flexes in this case I think it maybe moved a bit in the pc plate?

not sure

[fluid ravine]

weoew thats just sounds good lmao

[cold bloom]

What do you think of the fr4 plate @harsh dove

I think I'm gonna stick with it

I love this thing

I could also see it sounding really good in a tofu or a similar case oring friction mounted

it definitely subdues the rgb a ton lol I'll probably slowly become a non rgb user

[fluid ravine]

Lol...

[cold bloom]

wtf did you do lmao

[fluid ravine]

what you think

[cold bloom]

looks like you had foam in ur spacebar you ripped out? lmao

[harsh dove]

Yeah it sounds great, nice work

[fluid ravine]

correcto

honestly

both sounds fine

but i think i prefer the spacebar without the foam?

its higher pitched now

so yay ig?

idk

[cold bloom]

LOL

modding is such a journey

[uneven cradle]

That spacebar has been violated

[marsh saffron]

Really?

I almost can't stand it without foam anymore

[fluid ravine]

yeah idk

i like my spacebar a bit higher pitched

[cold bloom]

I just like when you can hear the spacebar during normal typing

doesn't have to be a certain pitch for me as long as it kinda matches the alphas but is a noticeable keystroke

I'm definitely an fr4 stan now

can't wait to try it in the salvation with the mx build too

[fluid ravine]

I was looking back at old messages but the 3090 doesnt bottle neck the 12700k?

[harsh dove]

I meant 3070 wtf why did I say 3090 lmfao

[prime ridge]

What's the front height on the Salavation?

[harsh dove]

and nah it doesn't

[harsh dove]

if you play at higher res its fine

[prime ridge]

I might be interested in building a Salvation Wooting 60HE if this Frog Mini one comes out good

[fluid ravine]

yeah just found out

[harsh dove]

7.5

[fluid ravine]

ima need myself a 1440p monitor

i wanna try a 240hz as well

[prime ridge]

7.5mm?

[harsh dove]

7.5 degree

you asked for front height

[prime ridge]

I believe that is considered typing angle. Correct me if I'm wrong though. I should've been more clear with what I meant. I meant what the height of the front lip of the case

For example the Frog Mini is 6 degree typing angle and 16.5mm front height

16.8mm with feet I believe

[harsh dove]

about 20mm

my apologies

[paper bloom]

If you want a good case just stick to the stock wooting case

If not just run a 5 degree height

[jade storm]

Mr. Wharf Talk

[fluid ravine]

wsp lol

[cold bloom]

yeah my ruler I have at home has a 5mm offset and the front height measures 15mm

so 20mm

alexotos might do it? lol

his commissions are open

otherwise idk tbh

https://www.alexotos.com/

he's located in Toronto tho

if you wanted to mod your wooting i'd be more than glad to walk you through it

it's not that bad you just gotta take your time

will do!

[paper bloom]

If you got any questions

You can ask here

[cold bloom]

also feel free to dm me if you need help, I'm not always around but if I have time I'm glad to help you or facetime to fix some shit

[paper bloom]

Tbf its rlly easy to mod

The only issue is acquiring and the method to do things

[cold bloom]

yeah it's not bad

[paper bloom]

Me and @fallen crag Have been doing cardboard modding as well

[cold bloom]

you follow most videos on youtube about how to lube switces or tune stablizers and you're almost all the way there

[cold bloom]

what does this mean

[paper bloom]

We run cardboard cases and run cardboard pads

[cold bloom]

ur name checks out ho

[paper bloom]

instead of poron pads

[cold bloom]

tho**

[paper bloom]

and now were also experimenting stuff

[cold bloom]

LMAO

[paper bloom]

LOL

[cold bloom]

that's wild

[paper bloom]

IKR

[cold bloom]

but kinda smart

[paper bloom]

im being deadass

[cold bloom]

it's such a good insulator

[paper bloom]

theres legit a video

[cold bloom]

BRUH

WTF IS THAT

[paper bloom]

THIS IS THE CARDBOARD CASE

[cold bloom]

LMAOOOOOOOOOO

IM DYING

[paper bloom]

JOIN US!

BE ONE OF THE CARDBOARD TEAM!

[cold bloom]

WHY IS IT SO CLEAN

OMG

ITS PERFECT

LMAOOOOO

[paper bloom]

EXACTLY

[cold bloom]

that just made my day

thank you for that

[paper bloom]

Happy 2 help

but join us in this experimentation as well!

if u ever want too

[cold bloom]

also I bet that beats a wood case any day

[paper bloom]

Were cardboard clan

😂

[cold bloom]

cardboard clan is WILD

[paper bloom]

ik

[cold bloom]

Imma need a sound test

of that case

[paper bloom]

THERE IS ONE

[cold bloom]

lmao

of course

[paper bloom]

@cold bloom

[cold bloom]

that's wild lmao

kinda a snappy sound

I don't LOVE it personally but it's interesting

definitely unique

[paper bloom]

O thats just phase one

[cold bloom]

LMAO

[paper bloom]

we'll have a phase 2 soon

[cold bloom]

it also looks like corrugated cardboard

need something thicker

[paper bloom]

There are thicker options but we just stook to the normal packaging cardboard

im rn thinking of a way to make it thicker

[cold bloom]

yeah fair

[paper bloom]

Without resin

[cold bloom]

anyway to fill it or get a thicker cardboard and it might be it

I wonder if some kinda foam insulation would work

like spray in

with a small nozzle

[paper bloom]

Theres spray for it

[cold bloom]

wild

[paper bloom]

and u can harden it with water

[cold bloom]

true

[paper bloom]

Theres also nano coating for it but theres no point

[cold bloom]

that's insane LOL

so cool

[paper bloom]

IN THE END OF THE DAY its just a case

might as well just spray a waterproofing

thats it

[cold bloom]

agreed brother

[paper bloom]

And the best part yet its RECYCABLE

[cold bloom]

love that you guys are having fun with it

it's a fucking peripheral at the end of the day

just needs to do it's job

[paper bloom]

Im also thinking of

hardening a traymount if not

doing a gasket mount

[cold bloom]

wild

I will keep my eyes out

[paper bloom]

LOOL

[cold bloom]

innovation

at it's core

so cool man

[paper bloom]

YEEE

[fluid ravine]

oh my days

this is just

HAHA

beauty

[paper bloom]

@fluid ravineMe and chime rn are planning to do

another ver of that but in gasket mount

fashion

What started as a joke has really turned into a clan

WE NEED MORE MEMBERS!

[fluid ravine]

My space bar sounds decent right? right guys...

[fluid ravine]

yurrrr

[near barn]

quick question; 5 of 5 brushes i've purchased ended up being too short, or the bristles start fraying/bending. any brush recommendation for lubing?

[quiet bay]

It might be time to get new switches..lekkers aren’t the greatest for that satisfying clack

[paper bloom]

Better than mine

[quiet bay]

But atleast ur stabs are completely fine :v

[paper bloom]

run a a painting one

thats flat headed

Not too thicc

i think shld b ok

[paper bloom]

Id say wait for the v2's to come out for the switches if u plan to do a phase out if not run jades

[fluid ravine]

I kinda wanna run the RAW for a clack build

[fluid ravine]

I'm plumber modded my space bar
Just substituting it for lube rn

[paper bloom]

o

@fluid ravine I also found out why i am hard stuck

For valorant now because ive been out of servers that i am playing in

LOL

[fluid ravine]

💀💀

Well I'm gonna be stick
Cus I got summer work to do 💀

I'm cooked

[jade storm]

young ver TenZ

[zinc knot]

what ping are you getting on the servers youve been playing on?

[paper bloom]

5

[paper bloom]

some servers i go to are like 50 ping

[zinc knot]

what rank have you been stuck at LOL

5 ping is nuts

[paper bloom]

LOL SIL 3

[floral jacinth]

hi, Which keycaps are better, dye-sub or double-shot?

[paper bloom]

Double

But

Both r still gd

@floral jacinth

[cold bloom]

I think it sounds great

it fits the rest of the keeb

as it should

[zinc knot]

diabolical

[paper bloom]

YEA cuz i dont got a 5 stack

and usually when i perform so well i loose the round

[zinc knot]

mmmm, i think you can hit high ranks without 5 stacking tho

[paper bloom]

I swear its vals matchmaking RNG

[paper bloom]

Not for SEA servers unless u start fragging hard

N teammates who dont sabotage each other

[zinc knot]

i met a girl who plays on SEA servers and she swears it's so much harder than NA

[paper bloom]

Over small things

[paper bloom]

It is LOL

[uneven cradle]

SEA is just full of hackers

[paper bloom]

Na sweats

Even in siege u wld fight the most 100 IQ ppl at silver

Or gold

[zinc knot]

i feel like i'd agree if i saw her do good in her gold lobbies LMFAO but i just ended up dogging on her

[paper bloom]

Na bro its hard

[marsh saffron]

What is?

[zinc knot]

SEA val servers

[paper bloom]

@zinc knot if it was siege

I cld shit on like peak gold players

[uneven cradle]

Na the amount of hackers goes up exponentially when going from aus servers to SEA servers

[paper bloom]

@zinc knot ik someone

Who used to be immortal 1

Close to radiant and a

Immortal 3

[zinc knot]

mhm

what abt em

[jade storm]

heard if you get immo on Val you become immortal in real life

you guys need to get it

[paper bloom]

Emerald ?

[zinc knot]

I can confirm I am not immortal IRL, in fact my wrist joints are hurting as we speak

[zinc knot]

wdym

[paper bloom]

U said what about em

[zinc knot]

oh

yeah like did they say anything

[paper bloom]

Ye

[zinc knot]

what'd they say

[paper bloom]

Is hard

[jade storm]

You will be

[zinc knot]

I am immortal 😭

[paper bloom]

Im rn silver 1

After this rnd

[paper bloom]

@zinc knotThe amount of things that goes on in some servers are just OOF

Esp SEA servers sometimes u can bump into a langauge barrier

[zinc knot]

wdym

oh

oh yeah that's rough

[paper bloom]

So yea LOL

[zinc knot]

i kinda wanna see how far i can get on SEA servers, but the ping...

[cold bloom]

I have to play most games on SEA servers being in AB

so I get like 40 ping at best

[zinc knot]

AB?

[cold bloom]

on oregon in val

50 to cali

Alberta

[zinc knot]

wait that's kinda nuts

[cold bloom]

yeah it's rough af

[zinc knot]

wait isn't that like good?

[cold bloom]

my lowest ping in ow2 is like 85

40??

not really

my friends in Houston etc get like 10ms to Texas

also cause no one plays Oregon with me

[zinc knot]

SEA servers getting low ping in alberta is kinda crazy good

[cold bloom]

cali sometimes

yeah it's mostly fibre connection from here to there

it's just hard to get good ping elsewhere

[zinc knot]

what servers on SEA do you play on

singapore?

[cold bloom]

Oh sorry

I thought you meant Seattle

LMAO

[paper bloom]

Ye

Singapore

[cold bloom]

nah

PNW

[zinc knot]

o LOL

SEA is south east asia

[cold bloom]

yeah that's my bad LMAO

[zinc knot]

i think 40 - 50 and lower is fine. 60 and above is like... whew.

[paper bloom]

THATS WHAT I FIGHT

[cold bloom]

40 isn't bad, but I don't play it unless I'm solo

[paper bloom]

Some of my teammates are

100 pingers

[cold bloom]

usually I'm playing 70-80 against like 20

it's not fun

[paper bloom]

some of them are 80

LOL

It legit isnt

[cold bloom]

it's not even the same game

[zinc knot]

higher ping used to be beneficial if you were an aggressive player

it still is if it's an outrageously high steady ping

[cold bloom]

I'll drop like 30-40 against plat-dia players on 40

go like 12-24 on 80

[zinc knot]

like 120+ used to beneficial but now it's like 200+ u have to see benefits

[paper bloom]

I swear its the server RNG

[cold bloom]

they def changed the net code

I find above like 60 if I hold an angle im FUCKED

if I peak it's okay

[zinc knot]

ya they did. they confirmed it

honestly like

[paper bloom]

They changed it to like a shitty one

For some reason it isnt even good

[cold bloom]

it's not consistent at all now

you can feel the difference

[zinc knot]

u can hit high elo with a rlly high ping if u kinda navigated the game properly

[cold bloom]

oh agreed I just don't have time

I climb a bit then get reset after not playing an act

[zinc knot]

mmm

yeah i get that

[cold bloom]

but as far as the game integrity goes

there's so many fights I'm like nah that's bs

netcode shit

the running headshots are the obv one

[paper bloom]

Those ones are something else

[cold bloom]

but sometime's its more noticeable

[paper bloom]

LOL

[cold bloom]

they are wild

unlike anything else in gaming

cause they're stopped on their screen

but full sprint on yours

[paper bloom]

This is why CS

Is sometimes better

[cold bloom]

yes agreed

[paper bloom]

Besides the cheater problem

[cold bloom]

if CS didn't have so many cheatesr

cheaters

i'd be a full cs chad rn

[paper bloom]

For some reason the comp servers i go to dont got it

Even without prime

[cold bloom]

yeah they need to fix that shit quick

[paper bloom]

They arent

[cold bloom]

nope

as much as the val kernal level anticheat kinda is weird it works man

I think it's worth it in this day and age

[paper bloom]

depends'

There are some cases where kernal level anti cheat takes your data

and it breaches ur privacy

[cold bloom]

agreed

but I think they need something deeper for cs lol

people will try anything now a days

[zinc knot]

have you tried playing faceit

[cold bloom]

not yet no

[paper bloom]

fACEIT is good

[zinc knot]

faceit has a better anticheat and there's considerably less cheaters

when i took cs seriously, i played faceit for pubs instead of MM

[paper bloom]

But i stopped going on it cuz i wasnt good enough

and it does even for scrims

[cold bloom]

yeah I should give it a shot sometime

I haven't played a ton of cs overall tho

[glacial wind]

hrm raw he geons come in stock locally next week. Tempting to try some

[torn summit]

i just realised the serenity keycap set isnt in azerty and theres missing keys oh my god

oh wait

even cherry taro doesnt have every azerty keycaps

[crimson sky]

yea uhh good luck

[calm pulsar]

where is that?

[glacial wind]

korea

[unreal stone]

is switch film good?

[tidal frigate]

It is not needed in HE switch.

[unreal stone]

does it help though or not really?

[median spade]

Does nothing, and they don’t go on well either

HE is wider so they don’t fit well

[fluid ravine]

Goodeo Morning

[tawdry tree]

It would for some magnetic switches but regular switch films don’t fit indeed so..

[stray tiger]

Ive yet to get my order that was supposed to ship in June, hopefully I get them soon as Ive got some other items including keycaps in that order.

[fluid ravine]

What store? (Just wondering cus you said locally)

[harsh dove]

Ima go get some Raw HEs off the back of the truck

[fluid ravine]

Lemme join

[tawdry tree]

We’ll probably see them more available soon.

[harsh dove]

By the time they get around there’s gonna be a new and better switch

Tell em to hurry up

[stray tiger]

When I ordered, which was day 1 they were listed for sale, it said mid-June ship date, so they are def about a month behind.

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[stray tiger]

Plus they were marked as complete on the Geon notion site

[fluid ravine]

Yezzzzzzzzzzzzzz, can't wait

But i gotta wait

[stray tiger]

Ahh I ordered all 3 spring weights so that would explain the delay. Thanks!

[fluid ravine]

Mold adjustment interersting..

No one likes moldy switches

Yeah, they’ll probably delay all of them until the 60Gs are in.

[glacial wind]

their korea store supposedly getting stock next week

[fluid ravine]

oh they won't like expand to other stores?

Like how they did with raptors to divinikeys or wtv?

[harsh dove]

You mean 40s or?

[glacial wind]

korea stock is always different to international. Totally different restocks and such

[fluid ravine]

oh

[tawdry tree]

Yes!

[harsh dove]

Yeah thought so lol

Wonder who’s working on next HE switch

[stray tiger]

I posted who in the "channel that can't be named"

where should i be looking for some keycaps? i wanna mod my wooting and make it fancy

Let's address a hot topic: Rappy Snappy and cheating concerns. First, let's clear up a misconception—Rappy Snappy is not the same as Snap Tap.

When developing Rappy Snappy, maintaining integrity for FPS games has been our top priority. We aim to raise the skill ceiling with our

Twitter · Jul 11, 2024, 3:40 PM

Short answer from Simon, snap tap is just last input priority SOCD (based on digital inputs).
Rappy snappy inputs the key which is pressed further when they are both actuated

[polar girder]

I know. But still

Right I know they’re different but laymen don’t know the difference and just see razer new tech good. BUY lol

[fluid ravine]

We dont talk about logitech lul

[polar girder]

I’m not worried about it

Eagerly anticipating rappy snappayyy

[final widget]

@stray tiger yo is there anything happening on omnitype rn ?

[fluid ravine]

Is there suppose to be smth?

Seems like theres nothing rn

[final widget]

idk, he told me yday there would be one today, i see free shipping or is that normal ?

[fluid ravine]

oh wait freeshipping?

that might be it ig

lemme check

@final widget idk

i still got shippin

[stray tiger]

Looks like they skipped this week due to a warehouse relocation

This is the first one they have missed, it's usually every week.

[queen herald]

If I put foam between the pcb and switches will it mess with the magnets

[fluid ravine]

Elaborate, what kinda of foam are you speaking of

[fluid ravine]

Like a foam sheet (PE foam sheet for example) or like plate foam

oh switch pads

Depending on the thickness it wont affect it

We recommend going 0.25mm but I have tested that 0.5mm works fine if the foam material is soft enough for the switch to compress like poron

[queen herald]

These are 0.5mm I think it will be fine

They are quite soft

[fluid ravine]

What material?

I mean yeah try it

[queen herald]

Pretty sure it's poron

Can't remember

[fluid ravine]

Ok then yeah should work fine, try and test to make sure

[harsh dove]

Can use wooting analog monitor to see if it’s interfering

[final widget]

I only get free shipping if my location is us , no where else lol

Bummer, was looking excited to grab the dualshots.. can u inv me to their disc pls

[stray tiger]

https://discord.com/invite/omnitype

[fluid ravine]

I'm in Texas

[prime orbit]

What is this for?

Company?

[fluid ravine]

They sell keyboards like Baute lite and GMK keycaps

They have really good sells and they're mostly in stock (correct me if im wrong)

I picked up my GMK set for $50 on sale

[prime orbit]

Got some good stuff for the 60he?

Ooo

That’s good

[fluid ravine]

Nah just keyboard and keyboard accessories

not specifically for wooting but keyboards in general

[fluid ravine]

Yaa they had they're "biggest?" happy hour sale like a week or two ago

Thats when i got mine :)

Happiest purchase i made

[prime orbit]

How is the quality of their keycaps compared to others?

Like drop or sum

[fluid ravine]

Drop DCX is pretty good, I'd say its like 90% close to GMK

[fluid ravine]

GMK has the best double shot ABS quality keycap

i mean thats what they're made for :^

[prime orbit]

GMK is the best keycap quality?

[prime orbit]

I looked at their keycaps. They look good just not for my setup

[fluid ravine]

High quality double shot ABS allows them to make unique colors unlike PBT (Not dissing on PBT but i'm just saying GMK makes unique color combinations)

[fluid ravine]

ye ye

[fluid ravine]

Subjective

[prime orbit]

I was gonna get these

[fluid ravine]

Ah yeah GMK WoB

Drop has DCX WoB as well

It should be cheaper and very similar quality

GMK has like a rough but nice texture out of the box

DCX should be smooth

[fluid ravine]

like PBT

[prime orbit]

It was between these 2

[fluid ravine]

ah

Well ig its between ABS and PBT for you then

[prime orbit]

Which the wooting is much cheaper lmao

[fluid ravine]

Yeah PBT production is cheaper as well

Just know good quality PBT (or thick pbt) is deeper than ABS keycaps

So PBT keycaps sound feel deeper than GMK/DCX or any ABS sets

[queen herald]

Where can I find that?

[prime orbit]

They don’t have the one with jap keycaps for DCX unf

[fluid ravine]

ah you want katana sublegends?

[prime orbit]

Ye

[fluid ravine]

yea thats the sad part for you then

[prime orbit]

That’s why I was hesitant on the drop one cuz it is all Jap. And like I don’t know Japanese so I better memorize the keyboard 💀💀

But the wooting is both eng and jap

So I’ll probably start with that tbh

It’ll be good enough quality

[fluid ravine]

Touch typuh

[queen herald]

My space bar is being held down without me pressing it 💀

[surreal heron]

im switching my wooting 60he case to the alumaze60, but also swapping my switches to jades, should i swap my switches before or after?

[prime orbit]

Hm?

[fluid ravine]

Touch type

It's a method where you type without looking at the keyboard

[prime orbit]

Ah

I usually do that

But sometimes I gotta look down

[fluid ravine]

ah lol

[prime orbit]

Eventually I’ll get the drop ones

I’ll learn Japanese

Easy

Lmao

[bold hearth]

is GPL 205 G0 fine for lubing the switches?

[fluid ravine]

Well the problem is the alphabets placement would be different than the English alphabets

just know that

[fluid ravine]

yup

[prime orbit]

Why would they do that 😭😭😭

[fluid ravine]

Standard lube

[bold hearth]

alr thanks

[fluid ravine]

it's more suitable for japanese people

[bold hearth]

can i also lube the stablizers with it?

[fluid ravine]

and plus their alphabets are not exactly like english

[prime orbit]

So basically learning the keyboard is what I need to do rather than learn Japanese lol

[bold hearth]

alr thanks, bc i already have it from an other keyboard

[fluid ravine]

Yes you may, but we usually recommend something thicker like grease. But if your stabs have tight tolerance then absolutely

[fluid ravine]

Yes

[prime orbit]

Gotcha

I’ll start with the wooting keycaps then

[fluid ravine]

If you type the board like normally then all should be good

[prime orbit]

Ye

[fluid ravine]

I found out with both jap and hangul (korean) keyboards xd

[queen herald]

Mr thackson do you know where the wooting analog monitor is in the software

[prime orbit]

$300+ for the keyboard…..

[fluid ravine]

Like where you test the analog of the magnetic polarity of the switch?

(You don't have to address me as Mr, I'm a kid lul but thank you for the respect haha)

@stray tiger

I don't know the software to it but I do know what you're talking about though

Pops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Halp

[stray tiger]

It's on the Wooting GitHub

[fluid ravine]

^ There ya go :)

[harsh dove]

#1196768306602983494 message

Also on GitHub

[prime orbit]

This is all I need right?

[harsh dove]

You planning on using lekkers or different switches?

[prime orbit]

I have the Black Knights in transit

[fluid ravine]

Seems good

[harsh dove]

I’d get some tools

[fluid ravine]

Oh shi i didnt know wooting made dye subs

[prime orbit]

I’m going for a full black out build lol

What tools do i need?

[fluid ravine]

Wooting has a tool kit

[prime orbit]

Ok cool

[fluid ravine]

Like brush, switch puller, opener, etc

[harsh dove]

I’d get a keycap puller, switch puller, decent small bit screwdriver set, and maybe some tweezers

[fluid ravine]

https://wooting.io/product/blank-switch-toolkit#judgeme_product_reviews?Option=Switch+tool+set#judgeme_product_reviews

[fluid ravine]

Here

[prime orbit]

This one’s

?

[harsh dove]

Lube is optional but if you wanna hand lube your stabs and switches then I’d get some

[fluid ravine]

ye ye

[prime orbit]

Oh yeah

Ty

[prime orbit]

Nope I don’t trust myself

[harsh dove]

Haha fair

Just get the toolkit then

[fluid ravine]

luuul

[harsh dove]

Make sure you have a PH1 Screwdriver

[prime orbit]

Does the toolkit come with everything I need?

[fluid ravine]

Just incase if you do lube your switches and stabs then you have your things ready then

[harsh dove]

Everything except screwdriver

[fluid ravine]

doesnt come with a screwdriver so yeah prep a ph1

[prime orbit]

I have a tiny ass one for my ridge wallet will that work 😭😭

Wait nvm it says t5

I don’t think that’ll work

[fluid ravine]

look smth like this

[prime orbit]

Oh yeah

I have plenty of these

[fluid ravine]

yup

[prime orbit]

For whatever reason when you guys typed ph1 I thought you meant a special type of screwdriver lol

So for the keyboard itself I have everything I need right?

For now

Ik there are other mods but imma have to pay people to do those cuz I don’t trust myself one bit

[fluid ravine]

oof

well yeah you should be set

When starting modding we recommend just doing something easy that is cheap and can be undone like tape mod

Lubing stabs and switches can be tedious and take some time

[tawdry tree]

What case? Redux?

[fluid ravine]

If there is lubing services then yeah try

[prime orbit]

Ehhhh I’d find some way to even mess up the tap mod lol

[fluid ravine]

Yeah Elix buying a redux

[tawdry tree]

Nice

[prime orbit]

Yeah it was the most minimal

I’m going for a full minimal blackout build

So actually there is one mod I want to do

Cam did it so I’m gonna follow in his footsteps

I’m gonna mod the Raptors, black jades, and black knights together

Make the ultimate black switch

[harsh dove]

Was referring to the bit lol

[tawdry tree]

Nice!!

[prime orbit]

Yeah I didn’t think of that 😭😭

[fluid ravine]

ooo

[tawdry tree]

If you like the closed bottom sound it’s pretty neat.

[prime orbit]

Little slow rn

[fluid ravine]

yeee

[prime orbit]

Well I’ve only had a hyperx with blue switches so idk what sound are like for these

[fluid ravine]

ooo hyperx aqua

[prime orbit]

Literally gonna go from a 4 year old hyperx aqua/reds, to wooting

[harsh dove]

Do you already own these switches or you’re buying all of them?

[calm pulsar]

im gonna do it w/ white jade stem, cause theyre breaked in from my jades

[fluid ravine]

oh wait you're the one that asked some shi abt hyperx alloy origin comparing to wooting switches or what not

[prime orbit]

I’ve had both but I didn’t hear a diff in the aqua and reds tbh

[prime orbit]

Nope but that is the keyboard I have lol

[fluid ravine]

oh damn

so someone else

[prime orbit]

I’m gonna get them eventually but not for months or so. Starting with the black knights (cuz the name is cool lol)

[fluid ravine]

but yeah the hyperx red and aqua switches are the same just one is tactile and one is linear

[tawdry tree]

With the Black Jade’s bottom?

[fluid ravine]

I had the origin 60 as my first mech board ever

[prime orbit]

Yeah I assume HE switches sound much diff

[fluid ravine]

yup

[prime orbit]

I’m hella excited

[calm pulsar]

yh, black jade bottom, gugu top and jade stem

[harsh dove]

Yeah idk if you saw me say it but after further testing you were right, black jades and jades have the exact same stem. For me it was just cause they’re more broken in

[calm pulsar]

yeah I remember, that's good info

[fluid ravine]

We don't really have something that sounds fully like a MX switch (although from what i heard RAW is getting pretty close) we do alot of modding just to make it sound as good as MX

[tawdry tree]

You can do this as well if you want to save a little.

[harsh dove]

Yeah I was gonna say @prime orbit if you don’t already have raptors, don’t bother imo

[fluid ravine]

I see a normal jade

unless im missing something

[tawdry tree]

All KS-20s, same top housing and stem.

[prime orbit]

Well I’m an odd case. This is my priority for choosing stuff for the keyboard. 1. Performance 2. Color. And 3. Sound

[calm pulsar]

nah black jades are now on the way xd
i just want a black switch so its less noticeable from outside

[harsh dove]

Yeah I’ve learned that, just thought there might be tolerance differences

[tawdry tree]

Ah I see!

[fluid ravine]

ah ye i remember
I'm more of build quality<sound<feel<aesthetics

[prime orbit]

Just do the black jades and black knights?

[harsh dove]

Yeah imo

Save the money

[prime orbit]

Bet saves me money and potential mess ups while modding them

[tawdry tree]

Changing the Black Knight’s stem out for a Raptor doesn’t achieve anything tolerance wise.

[harsh dove]

^

Literally just looks

[tawdry tree]

Just changes the box stem to a normal one.

[harsh dove]

Nothing else

[calm pulsar]

i might still do it w/ black jade stem IF the white stem makes the switch noticeable

[prime orbit]

Yeah so if I can’t get better performance I move on to getting the black parts. Then sound honestly I could not care for. I’m never hearing my keyboard when I play games anyway lol

Like with everything I got it’ll still sound good so it’s fine

Or I’m assuming it’ll sound good

[tawdry tree]

Lmao

[prime orbit]

The only thing I don’t like about the black jades is the green in it. Kinda ruins my blackout attempt

[tawdry tree]

I thought I was the only one who cared about switch aesthetics lmao

[prime orbit]

lol

[fluid ravine]

Well an enthusiast life of boards will get nit picky like me

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/wrong-not-nope-gif-22294097

[prime orbit]

Yeah fair enough lmao

[fluid ravine]

Bigsly over here

"I NEEDUH BLACKUH SWITCHESSS"

[prime orbit]

For the mod. Will the green show?

[tawdry tree]

Show with a keycap on it? No.

[fluid ravine]

If your board sits flush into the case with the keycaps then no

[calm pulsar]

but fr gugu top is awesome with gateron stem

[harsh dove]

Only green thing on black jades is stem and top housing

[fluid ravine]

looks amazing

[tawdry tree]

It’s crazy that some random AE listing said “Gugu” and now it’s just the Gugu Black Knights lmao

[prime orbit]

But when you mod it with the black knights does that part get switched out or will the green part still be there? I’m not sure what stems or tops are ngl. Y’all speaking a diff language when you say that for me lmao

[fluid ravine]

gugu gaga

[calm pulsar]

lol rly? i thought it was a part of the name xd

[harsh dove]

No, when you do frankenswitch it’ll be all black

[fluid ravine]

A switch has 4 parts

[prime orbit]

Let’s go!!! Sweet

[fluid ravine]

Top housing, stem, spring, and bottom housing

[tawdry tree]

Haha, nooo, the name is Black Knights and that’s it. 😂😂

[calm pulsar]

bro modding keebs at 1 years old

[tawdry tree]

Idk what Gugu means even

[fluid ravine]

REAL HAHA

[prime orbit]

Ah ok

[harsh dove]

Yeah unless you want dark green jade stem or black knight box stem, that will be up to you but the rest of the switch is black with gold specks in the top housing

[calm pulsar]

lol i will refer to it correclty now then

[fluid ravine]

yeah when i heard it out of nowhere i was like wtf is gugu, theres a gaga?

[tawdry tree]

😂😂

[prime orbit]

I just want all black but the double thingy from the black jades sounds cool so I want that part if that makes sense?

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s what I have, the dual stage springs

[prime orbit]

Yeah that

[harsh dove]

Those are from the black jades

[prime orbit]

Then just all black for everything else

[fluid ravine]

oh yeah you might like the dual stage spring

more responsive for gaming

[prime orbit]

So the bottom 2 will be the black jades, top 2 parts will be the black knights?
