[prime orbit]

Did I get it right 😭

[calm pulsar]

test it with black knight stem and gateron (jades) stem

[tawdry tree]

Black Jade’s bottom and spring, Black Knight’s top and stem is all black (+ golden sparkles).

[calm pulsar]

and see what you like

[harsh dove]

Like this, if you want box stem

But if you want jade stem then you just use that

Both work

[fluid ravine]

@prime orbit just incase if you're confuse with the parts (HE switches dont have the metal leaf as we use magnents to actuate a switch)

[prime orbit]

Ah ok

So black jades bottom and spring. Black Knights stem and top

[tawdry tree]

Yes.

[harsh dove]

Yes

[fluid ravine]

👏

nj

[prime orbit]

Sweet I’m learning 😭

[harsh dove]

Experiment with both stems in the black knight top housing and see what you like

[prime orbit]

Honestly I think the square stem design looks cooler so I was gonna go with that either way

[harsh dove]

Fair enough

[prime orbit]

Going for looks may not be optimal but whatever 😂

[calm pulsar]

my black jades Handed over to airline
July 11 at 13:57
come to mee

[harsh dove]

It’s more expensive

[prime orbit]

OH wait no no no no no no

Do I have to re lube anything???

[tawdry tree]

Boxed stems do offer more stability on the bottom out. So it’s sort of better.

[tawdry tree]

No.

[harsh dove]

Not necessarily

[queen herald]

aligner, cam, i wanna thank you both

[prime orbit]

Thank god

[queen herald]

i am finally done filing down the plate

[harsh dove]

I frankenswapped mine without relubing

[tawdry tree]

WWWW

[harsh dove]

Just don’t wipe all the lube off with your fingers

[prime orbit]

Oooo awesome more reason to do them

[tawdry tree]

Everything went well?

[prime orbit]

Is that easy to do?

[queen herald]

luckily yea, except for the fact the stock spacebar doesnt go down

[prime orbit]

Or just be careful

[tawdry tree]

Nah, Black Knights are oiled up

[queen herald]

when i put another spacebar on it works

[fluid ravine]

W

[harsh dove]

Just be careful when handling the stems, everything else is fine

[prime orbit]

Maybe I’ll just pay someone to do it I’m having second thoughts 😭😭

[harsh dove]

If you wipe some off it’s not the end of the world

It’ll be fine

[tawdry tree]

Hmm.

[fluid ravine]

I got pretty excited when i attempt lubing my first batch of switches

[prime orbit]

Well I don’t want them to feel uneven or anything

[fluid ravine]

Although i had shaky hands lol

[harsh dove]

They won’t you’ll be fine

[tawdry tree]

Does it not go down at all or there’s a lot of friction? @queen herald

[harsh dove]

I believe in you

[prime orbit]

[fluid ravine]

Just do a certain amount of strokes without thinking about it Erix

[queen herald]

my bad it goes down

[prime orbit]

Aight I have motivation now

[queen herald]

but it doesnt go up again

[harsh dove]

Stock Spacebar ?

[fluid ravine]

Like for bottom housing rails i would just do 3 strokes on each sides without thinking about it

[queen herald]

yep

[prime orbit]

The almighty cam said I can do it

[harsh dove]

Have you tried others?

[calm pulsar]

next day
"instructions unclear, dick stuck in the microwave"

[fluid ravine]

you dont really need to check exactly how much lube there is on there

[queen herald]

yea others work so im not bothered much by it

[fluid ravine]

just stroke it with a brush then you're done

[tawdry tree]

Actually, can you send a pic of the front of the module?

[prime orbit]

Hmmmm I’ll just play some music and vibe it’ll be fine

[tawdry tree]

Or is it in the case already?

[queen herald]

2sec

[fluid ravine]

dw abt consistency, the only consistency you'll get is just the strokes

[prime orbit]

Wait strokes?

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[prime orbit]

Now I’m confused

[fluid ravine]

like brushes

[tawdry tree]

It can be that you’re not done sanding yet. 💀

[prime orbit]

How does putting these together work

[fluid ravine]

oh shi

[queen herald]

☠️

[fluid ravine]

chat we havent taught him

[prime orbit]

I thought you just build them like legos or sum 💀💀

Click them together

[fluid ravine]

kinda, you just align the parts together and snap it in place

[calm pulsar]

yeah, Thackson was talking about lubing

[fluid ravine]

Addressing the new name haha

[prime orbit]

I ain’t lubing nothing 💀💀

[queen herald]

from the top or side view?

[prime orbit]

I will pay someone to lube before I try

I know my limits lol

[fluid ravine]

i mean you should try lubing like a switch or two just to get the feel of it

[tawdry tree]

Front view

[fluid ravine]

if you pay someone to lube it then they will put the switch back together anyways

[prime orbit]

I mean I did get the 70 pack so I will have extra. Guess I could practice

[fluid ravine]

yup

[prime orbit]

Fair enough

[fluid ravine]

you got 9 extra switches to practice on

[prime orbit]

Damn you guys and your good ideas

[fluid ravine]

lul

[tawdry tree]

Like this @queen herald

[fluid ravine]

Life of Wooting modders

What can i say

[prime orbit]

Frfr

I’m going down a rabbit hole

[fluid ravine]

holup

daflip

[prime orbit]

Especially once I get my hands on the mouse and mousepad I want. Then I’m really screwed. I’m really far down the pc setup rabbit hole lol

[calm pulsar]

short incoming lol

[fluid ravine]

haha yeah

Once i get into PC setups i desire everything

[calm pulsar]

don't forget to lube your mouse and the mousepad too

[fluid ravine]

Even knowing as being a kid i just desire everything without the moni

[tawdry tree]

Yeah you’re not done sanding yet I think. For the space bar you need to do the inside too, at least with that plate.

[fluid ravine]

yupppp to smoothen the contact

w strat

[uneven cradle]

Secret tech, I haven't lubed my jades they still feel nice stock

[prime orbit]

OK I’ll make sure

[queen herald]

😩 😩 😩

🙈

[harsh dove]

I’m sorry I didn’t realize you were sanding the steel plate, not PC. Wow bro is really him. First holee modded staebies now this

[fluid ravine]

What plate do you have @queen herald

[fluid ravine]

I saw the standoff i was like wtf that aint no wooting plate, unless im tripping

[calm pulsar]

im hearing the springs 5 months after tho

[tawdry tree]

It’s the metal

steel*

[fluid ravine]

OHHHH

I havent not seen that in a million years

[harsh dove]

Lucky, I feel like I can hear the springs

[queen herald]

its the wooting plate

[calm pulsar]

haha same

[uneven cradle]

Sounds like a bag lube would fix that ez

[fluid ravine]

gosh, that shi was bannished into my closet

[queen herald]

bro

[tawdry tree]

On both sides.

[calm pulsar]

yhyh, I gotta rebuild it stock tho to sell it after I get my module

[harsh dove]

Yeah after lubing my springs it’s been good but idk how long that’ll last

[prime orbit]

Yeah Artisan type99, wooting60he, finalmouse ULX, new pc build, 1440p 480hz monitor. Truthear Zero: Red IEMS with Dac. My wallet is crying

[tawdry tree]

I assumed you had a PC plate because of the screw ins. My bad bro.

Steel is a lot stiffer..

[harsh dove]

Yeah I didn’t realize he had steel either…

[uneven cradle]

Damn all that with some $50 iems

[queen herald]

i gotta get to work then

[fluid ravine]

Yeeee, I'm wanting to sell my pcb with stock case, pc plate & stock plate, and everything to Hyper so i can use that money to buy a module so i can get access to PCB mounted stabs

[queen herald]

my nail file is at the end of its life

[prime orbit]

Well I don’t want headphones and I heard they are the fps goats rn

[fluid ravine]

damnnn

[tawdry tree]

Bro holy modded staebies, sanded a steel plate with a nail file.

[harsh dove]

He is him fr

[uneven cradle]

Not goat just good for the price

[tawdry tree]

FRR

[fluid ravine]

like literally when was the last time we touch that plate

[queen herald]

i will see you in 30 minutes

[fluid ravine]

more than six/seven months

[prime orbit]

Which iem is the goat for fps?

[harsh dove]

Yeah a long time

[tawdry tree]

Good luck bro!!

[fluid ravine]

Gl

[tawdry tree]

I forgot that the new 60HE+ comes with steel stock as well.

[fluid ravine]

NAIL FILE??

[harsh dove]

If bro doesn’t have success, one of us gotta get him a new plate

[fluid ravine]

DAMN HES HIM TF

[prime orbit]

Yeah this won’t be complete for at least 6 months but it’ll be worth it once it’s complete

[median spade]

Those are some banger ones to be fair

[harsh dove]

Yeah some of the best budget iems

Especially for starting out

[median spade]

IEMs really have a steep drop off after $100 imo

[harsh dove]

Yeah pretty much

After like $150

[calm pulsar]

are there good wireless iems?

or are they all wired

im too hooked on wireless cause I work from home and can go somewhere and I need to hear notifications

[prime orbit]

Yeah cuz ain’t no way I’m dropping $300 on some times

Iems

That’s crazy

[uneven cradle]

Dropping $1300+ on that monitor though

[prime orbit]

Ok wait

wtf

I’d rather do that

Then these

$1900??????

Wildin

[harsh dove]

Oh they go higher

[prime orbit]

They have $2700 ones

I’m done

wtf

[harsh dove]

But literally not needed

[calm pulsar]

you hear footsteps of enemies from the next match with these

[prime orbit]

I’m sticking to my $50 iems ty lmao

Nah fr you better

[fluid ravine]

A im back

my elec just cut out for a moment

[prime orbit]

Maybe if I get into the iem game enough I’ll go for a more expensive set

But even then

[fluid ravine]

RIP to all my people that doesnt have elec rn

i heard that they wont have elect for the next 10 days

after the hurricane

[prime orbit]

How much better can they really get for fps and souls like

[fluid ravine]

shiiiii

[calm pulsar]

fuck man

[prime orbit]

I feel like I can stick to the reds for years

lol

[uneven cradle]

They do be going higher

[fluid ravine]

yeah its day 4 rn

[prime orbit]

That is insane

That’s a used car man

wtf

[fluid ravine]

tffffffffffff

[uneven cradle]

Even in the cheaper range there's supermix 4, yanyin canon II, hype4

[fluid ravine]

yeah i have em as well

i fk with them so much

[calm pulsar]

that's 50 gmk sets

[uneven cradle]

Those are all better then the reds

[fluid ravine]

holy shi 50?!

[harsh dove]

You can

[fluid ravine]

One thing im scared of is tinnitus

[prime orbit]

How so? Just curious. Only cuz every single list or someone saying for fps says the reds

[tawdry tree]

Jewelry ❌
IEMs ✅

[fluid ravine]

wear them everyday for like 12 hrs

for a few months

im in danger :D

[harsh dove]

Well you don’t need a $1000+ pair of IEMs for just gaming that’s why they say that

[fluid ravine]

^^^

[harsh dove]

The reds are good enough for what they serve

[fluid ravine]

I mean arent IEMS used for like music at times

[harsh dove]

But if you do more than gaming then maybe you can get something higher end for music and stuff like that

[fluid ravine]

yee

[calm pulsar]

yeah I think that's why they're called in ear monitors lol

[harsh dove]

But again, stuff past $150 is pretty much diminishing returns

[prime orbit]

Also cheaper?? Those were all like $300+. That’s a lot diff than $50

[prime orbit]

I mean sometimes I listen to my Apple Music while playing but I heard the reds are good for music anyway

Good cheap all rounder

[fluid ravine]

You use a audio interface or nah?

just wondering

[uneven cradle]

Literally the first one I mentioned

[prime orbit]

Still not cheap

[fluid ravine]

Yeah i would use steelseries sonar to adjust my eq for my mic and IEMS before i got my audio interface

[prime orbit]

I’m getting the Filo k11

[uneven cradle]

You spending $1300 on a monitor you ain't in Cheap budget

[harsh dove]

Yeah they are

[calm pulsar]

what did you use from steelseries?

[fluid ravine]

Sonar

Its like a mixer and interface

[calm pulsar]

nah I mean which headset, or can this be used without having their stuff?

[fluid ravine]

it can be used without their stuff

[prime orbit]

Yeah cuz I think the return will be worth it. $150 for iems FOR ME I don’t see that much in returns. Especially since rn I’m using apple earbuds and think they are better than half of the industries headphones lol

[calm pulsar]

ah got it

[harsh dove]

It can but f SteelSeries sonar

[fluid ravine]

But i did use to have their arctis 7 headphones passed down by my cousin

before i had my IEMS

[uneven cradle]

You spending more on your mousepad then your audio device

[fluid ravine]

Then I gave those headphones to my nephew

[harsh dove]

Get some Simgot EM6Ls and call it a day

[prime orbit]

Is that necessary? Even if I get the filo k11

[calm pulsar]

I got arctis nova pro wireless, I probably have to use it for better sound

[harsh dove]

If you do buy new ones

[fluid ravine]

nah nah

dont use sonar

[harsh dove]

Mmh yeah maybe

There’s other EQs you could use

[prime orbit]

These?

[harsh dove]

Yea

[fluid ravine]

Honestly i find sonar funky to deal with

esp with the sound settings

didnt like it

[harsh dove]

Sonar is funky

[prime orbit]

How much better are they than the reds?

[harsh dove]

That whole software is jank

[calm pulsar]

is sonar part of that bs with aim trainer and stuff? xd

[prime orbit]

Cuz the black would match my setup better so maybe I just go for those

[calm pulsar]

or is it a separate thing

[prime orbit]

Hopper I apologize

[fluid ravine]

steelseries have a 3d aim trainer LOL

[prime orbit]

I might be spending more than $50 💀💀

[uneven cradle]

Honestly I'd spend the extra and get the supermix 4s they're em6ls but better

[fluid ravine]

trying to compare to aimlabs

smh

[uneven cradle]

As someone who owns em6ls

[fluid ravine]

But yeah i find sonar useful for me before i had any of the good shi that i have now

[calm pulsar]

yeah I might just use the included base for EQ settings, so I can avoid installing this

[harsh dove]

https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/18v41v9/zero_red_vs_em6l_for_gaming/

[harsh dove]

Or this

[prime orbit]

Ok for Val, CS2, little bit of music listening, YouTube, discord, and like Every Souls Like you can think of (Only thing I do on my PC) which iems. Under $150. Yall tell me. I’ll get them

I don’t like choosing 💀

Too much pressure

[uneven cradle]

Supermix4s

[prime orbit]

K done

[uneven cradle]

Recommend getting some eartips as well though

[prime orbit]

The eartips suck?

You would think on a pair of $150…. Nvm

[uneven cradle]

They're not bad just eartips are very personal everyone has different preferences

[prime orbit]

Just to make sure w

These ones right

[uneven cradle]

Those are the ones

[harsh dove]

This, always get better tips

Most stock tips suck

I use Final Audio tips

But there’s plenty good ones

Even some on AE

[uneven cradle]

Yeah it's not really about price either, my friend has the before mentioned $5000 iems and does not use the stock tips

[harsh dove]

Yeah lol exactly

[uneven cradle]

I'm washed though I ain't buying iems for gaming more general use and music listening mainly

[harsh dove]

Yeah I just got mine for general use, all around

[prime orbit]

Final Audio

Lemme check them out

How the hell do you buy from this site 💀

[prime orbit]

And the k11 works fine?

[uneven cradle]

More then fine 👌

[prime orbit]

Ok cool

And for the eartips

Amazon or the site?

The site has sizes and Amazon doesn’t

I don’t know what size I am tho

Oh wait multi

Maybe I do that one

Different sizes I’m guessing

Oh wait that’s the wrong eartips

Nvm

I’m dumb

[uneven cradle]

They're very personal preference, I can recommend spinfit w1

[harsh dove]

^

Really depends on your ear shape so all comes down to what works for you

[prime orbit]

Idk my ear shape

Uhhh

I’d assume s

[harsh dove]

Nobody does

Have to figure it out lol

[prime orbit]

Or ss

Maybe m?

Def not bigger than that

I’ll try s first

[uneven cradle]

Even between iems and different eartips both of those are variables which can change which one will fit

[harsh dove]

Even down to both ears being different

Some people use a diff size in each ear

[prime orbit]

They got some weird looking ones

Lmao

[queen herald]

guys i have work so i cant finish today but im seeing progress

[prime orbit]

What do the number mean in their naming? If you know

[queen herald]

maybe ill take the plate to work and do the rest there

[uneven cradle]

Those are just branding to distinguish products I'm pretty sure

[prime orbit]

Idk they all look the same to me lmao

[uneven cradle]

I'd recommend either the spinfit w1s or spinfit cp100+

I think they have all size kits

[prime orbit]

I hate I can’t pick the color

Small is pink

Rip me

[uneven cradle]

What tips do you use with the reds? Don't they come with a bunch

Of sizes

[harsh dove]

Think they come with one set iirc

One set as in 3 sizes

[prime orbit]

I don’t have them yet 💀

I’m using apple earbuds rn

[uneven cradle]

Well it looks like they come with a bunch to try

[prime orbit]

Well yall convinced me on the other one so

[harsh dove]

Oh so 2 sets plus some black ones, memory foam?

[uneven cradle]

There's 3 wide bore, 3 small bore and 1 pair of foams

[uneven cradle]

Oh I thought you already had the reds

[prime orbit]

Nah I was deciding on what iems to get

To upgrade my apple earbuds

[uneven cradle]

The supermix4s come with 3 sizes to try

[harsh dove]

Yeah, figured they were foams, nice

Good amount to try out

[prime orbit]

I’ll be fine then

[uneven cradle]

Would still recommend ordering some other eartips once you figure out your general size

They can be a game changer once you find that good pairing

[prime orbit]

I will eventually but for at least a month I’ll probably just use the included ones

[harsh dove]

Yeah I highly recommend new tips once you get your size

[harsh dove]

Btw https://a.co/d/0fccyncR they’re $15 off on Amazon rn if you use the coupon

[uneven cradle]

Well it's definitely going to be quite an upgrade over the airbuds anyway

[harsh dove]

So $134.99

[prime orbit]

Yeah I saw that

Makes it a little less difficult to buy 😭

[harsh dove]

You won’t need new ones for a very long time imo

[prime orbit]

I’m hoping these will last at least like 2-3 years

That doable?

[harsh dove]

Pfft easily

[prime orbit]

Sweet

[harsh dove]

Just take care of them

[prime orbit]

I mean if I’m not on my pc my earbuds just sit on my desk

[harsh dove]

Don’t have any animals that will chew em up or anything?

[prime orbit]

Nah

[harsh dove]

Make sure you clean your ears and tips too, often

Can get infections

[prime orbit]

Bet gotcha

Ty guys!

[harsh dove]

[wild parcel]

Are lekker springs compatible with gateron magnetic jades?

[uneven cradle]

Yep

[wild parcel]

ohhh alright thank you! 🩷

[uneven thunder]

do these have good soundstage and imaging for games like valorant?

well i guess soundstage is hard on iems

[harsh dove]

https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/simgot-supermix-4-1dd-1ba-1-planar-1-pzt.27255/reviews

You can read about em here

[cold bloom]

oh I missed the IEM chat lol

I love IEMs

freshreviews on youtube is a good buddy of mine and he does a lot of gaming related IEM reviews if you wanna check out a pair before buying a bit more also

I'm using the raptgo hook-x rn I love them, slightly open back so they don't build up pressure as bad and have planar drivers

[tawdry tree]

@queen herald are you good bro?

[rich cape]

Backspace cart notifier goes hard ngl

[tidal frigate]

Wut

[rich cape]

Notification email from Backspace about items left in cart

[balmy sail]

hello I would like to make a custom keyboard with the wootin 60HE switches but I don't know if the application to manage the activation distance will work with another box how can I find out?

[tidal frigate]

Do you have everything or you are starting

[balmy sail]

I haven't bought anything yet and this is my first custom keyboard

[tidal frigate]

Rn you can buy 60he module. Pcb pc plate with screw in stabs from wooting.

Case, switches and keycaps would be your pic

So basicly for wooting you can use web app or dowlanded app. After you set profile you can close it because it is saved on keyboard

[balmy sail]

so if I understand correctly I can buy another box with the 60HE switches and its circuit board ?

[tidal frigate]

Yes. Unless you want buy prebulit 60he+ and dismantle for pcb and switches

[prime orbit]

I look at all his tweets on Twitter lol

[balmy sail]

I can't afford that because I don't want to spend $300 to make a custom keyboard

[tidal frigate]

@balmy sail what is your budget

[balmy sail]

and the 60HE circuit is sold on the site where I have to buy the keyboard then dismantle it

[balmy sail]

$130

[tidal frigate]

Well

[balmy sail]

or 150

[tidal frigate]

Wait little bit more

Buy prebulit 60he+

And mod it later

[balmy sail]

okay

[tidal frigate]

@balmy sail what kind of dolar tho

[balmy sail]

How so ?

[marsh saffron]

USD, CAD, etc

[balmy sail]

i live in paris i m french so in euro

[tidal frigate]

Ok

[loud zephyr]

I'd also look into the Meze Alba's. I don't think I've seen an IEM get hyped up so much, whether it's warranted or not, I'm not sure. Otherwise EM6L is a solid choice

[tidal frigate]

So wooting 60he id around 190€

[prime orbit]

Oh no more recommendations

[balmy sail]

yes is it

[tidal frigate]

Get 40€ more buy it and mod it few months later

[prime orbit]

Ok this is gonna be dumb but I don’t want those cuz they are all white 💀😭

[harsh dove]

We lost him

[loud zephyr]

Ha! fair enough

[balmy sail]

okay thanks

[tawdry tree]

https://tenor.com/view/ship-sinking-ship-sinking-boat-boat-gif-24038444

[tidal frigate]

It would be more reasonable

[harsh dove]

lol I think he said he had to go to work and was gonna try to finish it there

[balmy sail]

If not, do you have any advice on how to make a keyboard with my budget? I'm looking for a lot of reactivity for fps games

[tidal frigate]

Well best would be wait little bit and buying 60he

[balmy sail]

Currently I have a Corsair K65 red switches that I could take apart to take these switches?

I no longer have the guarantee anyway

[tidal frigate]

And put it in wooting? No

[balmy sail]

no in another case

[tidal frigate]

Put k65 pcb in diffrent case?

[balmy sail]

yes

[tidal frigate]

There is no diffrent cases. Do you have 3d printer or skill in carving wood?

[balmy sail]

okay no problem so as a case for the custom calvier if ever I buy the 60HE and I take it apart what would you advise me ?

[tidal frigate]

If you want mod it?

[balmy sail]

to have good sound and other

[balmy sail]

yes

[balmy sail]

no i don t have that

[tidal frigate]

Puting painters tape on back pcb, and changing switches to gateron Jades

That would be most basic

@balmy sail though perfect sound of keyboard is diffrent fot everyone

Do you have refrences?

[balmy sail]

okay but I wanted to say advice on a case because aren't Gateron Jades switches?

[balmy sail]

yes es the sound of the akko cs piano v2 lubricate is incredible

[tidal frigate]

@spiral canyon are those switches compatible with wooting pcbs?

[balmy sail]

or the sound of the keychron k6 once lubricated is good

[spiral canyon]

Akko Piano are mechanical switches, not HE ones

[balmy sail]

I don't know how to know that

[balmy sail]

okay thanks

[tidal frigate]

You want more deep thock or clacky sound

[cold bloom]

Fresh is the man I love freshy

[balmy sail]

deeper sound

[tidal frigate]

Ok.

[cedar gate]

Is moleskin better than painters tape for tempest

[polar girder]

It’s different

Kinda cool

Worth trying both IMO

Keyboard modding is all about experimentation and personal preference

[tidal frigate]

This? https://youtube.com/shorts/hYP9_Ugq6pU?si=GY5CaojAgg-8eiGO

[balmy sail]

They have a good sound I like and so these switches would I put them in which box? and with or without the wooting circuit?

[tidal frigate]

Can you use deepl translation french to English

It would be little bit better to communicate

[balmy sail]

I use Google translate so I don't know if I can deepen the translation

[tidal frigate]

https://www.deepl.com/

It will work better

[balmy sail]

I want to say that I like the sound of the Gateron Jades but I don't know if I should put them in which case and if so or no I should assemble them with the 60HE circuit

[tidal frigate]

Bro it is 100% better

Now I can understand everything

[thorn zealot]

wish i knew abt this when i was taking spanish

[tidal frigate]

So look. If you want to use wooting software etc.
In shorts i gave you guy had
Tofu60 redux red colour
Gateron Jades switch
Wooting pcb
Gmk Samurai keycap set.

If you want diffrent colour scheme, you could get diffrent colour of case and diffrent keycap set

[cold bloom]

I ordered some black jades finally

[balmy sail]

thank you very much you saved a little French guy who needed help

[tidal frigate]

Yeah for next time use deepl

It is much better

[balmy sail]

okay i will use deepl now

[tidal frigate]

So yeah basicly buy 60he, wait few months and upgrade it later

[cold bloom]

je parles francais aussi, si tu as besoin d'aide

[balmy sail]

I'm going to wait an epu more I already have important changes to make in my pc

[balmy sail]

tu me seduis la

[cold bloom]

[balmy sail]

tkt sa fait juste plaisir de retourner au fr

[bold hearth]

i took all my switches out, and some of them aren’t going back in

[cold bloom]

check to make sure any of the switches you took out didn't come a bit loose

sometimes if the top and bottom housings aren't snapped together fully they wont go into the plate

[bold hearth]

its like they don’t even fit period

you mean like make sure they’re pushed together?

[cold bloom]

yeah

even just a bit off and they wont push in the same as they should into the plate

[bold hearth]

alr thanks

i’m stupid lmao

[marsh saffron]

They will certainly be better

Less chatter/rattle compared to V1 from the tolerance difference

I still think jades/dashes/lavenders will sound better imo

[cold bloom]

All good lol I’ve done it before

[prime orbit]

Black Knights >

[marsh saffron]

3.4 for jades/dashes, 3.8 for lavenders

But they all get full functionality as lekkers would

The actuation point is more of a % based value than actual actuation distance I believe

[harsh dove]

https://youtu.be/A3RttBbAFL8?si=74-7sZyres7ARYKP

No Hopper, No

jk

[uneven cradle]

Depends what you're looking for the v2s will be more thocky and the jades/lavenders more clacky

Maybe we'll get a closed bottom variant of the lekker switch at some point

Wooting gotta be cooking something up in the background

[tawdry tree]

Jades 🗣️

[harsh dove]

Likely after Lekker v2

Would be cool to see wooting have their own manu for switches that say Wooting on the top housing

Fully black switch with yellow stem

Closed bottom

Gib

[cold bloom]

that would go hard af

[undone vortex]

do you guys think a metal case is needed to bring out the best sound profile for jades?

[polar girder]

I fk with the stock Wooting case and keycaps

Not so much the stock Wooting switches lol

But it does bring back fond memories. I ain’t mad at it.

[polar girder]

Helps

[cold bloom]

stock wooting is still a lot better than a lot of stock keebs out there rn, especially that new pos from logitech lmao

[steel hemlock]

For what Wooting is worth, stock keyboard is definitely good enough for the price and I would’ve held off modding/upgrading it

But I’ve always wanted a custom white keyboard

Was just an excuse to get one

[sweet oak]

Imma need a whole setup picture, your cooking too much good food here

[uneven cradle]

Bro about to have the full rubrehose aesthetic

[sweet oak]

Its gonna be HEAT

[harsh dove]

My setup ugly

Wanna get a new desk

[uneven cradle]

A nice desk is pretty sweet

[harsh dove]

Yeah I mean mines fine ig, wanna get a butcher block tho

[uneven cradle]

My setup is cramped rn because I'm sharing my desk with my gf

[harsh dove]

Tell her to leave

[uneven cradle]

True I'll let her know

[harsh dove]

[uneven cradle]

Here's my side

[harsh dove]

I was sick so I had the humidifier out

[uneven cradle]

Sure you didn't just add it for the ambience and aesthetic

[harsh dove]

Well the angle of the picture is for that yeah but I already had it on lol

[uneven cradle]

I use to vape, and when cleaning my PC the cpu cooler was literally sticky and wet. Was not good, everything still worked though

[harsh dove]

Yeah smoking near pc is bad

Monitors too

Any electronics really

Anything that sucks air in lol

[sweet oak]

WHY IS IT SO GOOD

Also questioning what chair that is lol

Arm rests are chunky

[harsh dove]

They’re arm rest pillows lol

[sweet oak]

Comfy

[harsh dove]

They don’t actually look like that stock

[cold bloom]

I wish I could do more with the walls here

But I just rent

[sweet oak]

I like it

Matcha mousepad

[cold bloom]

raven mori I think it's called

it's a really nice green

Using this one rn

[harsh dove]

Clean

[sweet oak]

raquel approved

[cold bloom]

ty ty

[steel hemlock]

Very clean

[feral gull]

You ski or snowboard?

[cold bloom]

Ski!

[marsh saffron]

W

[cold bloom]

I learned to snowboard but I learned to ski so young it's just so much more natural to me

and I love how hard it is to master tbh

super fun

[marsh saffron]

I miss skiing, it's been a while

[cold bloom]

I ski twin tips tho too

so I can trick a bit but I'm getting old LOL

[feral gull]

Same

[cold bloom]

I mostly just like doing 180s on rollers and then coasting backwards etc

I don't really grind rails much anymore

used to ski a lot in Maine and Vermont growing up I miss it a lot

[feral gull]

Have you done any steep runs?

[cold bloom]

that one I have a sign from White Nitro is insanely steep

it's part of what they called the snowfields at Sugarloaf in Maine where they couldn't get the groomers up to

so it's just all natural terrain

it's super fun

[feral gull]

Nice

[feral gull]

I went to whistler last year and got to ski some really fun stuff

[cold bloom]

I've never been to Whistler but I've been to Lake Louise and Sunshine out here

they're both super fun but very different

[feral gull]

I’m planning to go to Jackson hole this year so pretty excited for that

[cold bloom]

that would be fun

[polar girder]

Yeah I went skiing for the first time last year at Tahoe

Good time

[cold bloom]

W

I flew over Tahoe when I flew into LAX in April

it was dope to see even from there lol

[harsh dove]

Yeah I used to live in South Lake Tahoe a few years ago

[cold bloom]

that's dope

do you ski?

[harsh dove]

Snowboard a little bit

[cold bloom]

nice nice

[harsh dove]

I'd try Skiing tho

[cold bloom]

skiing is so fun cause I feel like i'm a bit more in control

if one ski catches an edge you can still recover lol

[harsh dove]

Yeah my bro taught me and I already long boarded and surfed so he said snowboarding would be more natural

[cold bloom]

that's fair for sure

my best buddy growing up snowboarded and we could ride any trail together mostly

just glades get a bit tough lol

[harsh dove]

that's dope lol and yeah

[cold bloom]

we used to go skiing in New england somewhere on most spring breaks

it was super fun

one year at Sugarloaf the US national team was there like Lindsay Vonn and all them

it was crazy busy

[harsh dove]

Damn I bet that was fun tho

[cold bloom]

yeah it was cool af to see

they have a competition run that often had some racing stuff set up but also an olympic sized super pipe

I could not drop into that thing for the life of me, it was almost inverted at the top lmao

[harsh dove]

Sheesh that sounds sick tho haha

Id def try that

[cold bloom]

if you could ride it I bet it would be insanely cool

We went up and down it a bit

but trying to drop in from the top of the lip felt impossible

the machines they use to cut the pipes that big are also really dope

[harsh dove]

I bet

[fluid ravine]

Holy shi finally home from vb practice

Sup chat

[polar girder]

Oh nice that’s where we were

Sleep time. Peace out

[visual sonnet]

need to wait for my HE jades, then i can slap the Akko Cool Grays on top

[restive bolt]

Any chance anyone knows where to get these caps?
https://darkproject.eu/keycaps/dark-project-ink-keycaps-ansi-and-iso/

I've been searching every reseller but idk if they are available anywhere?
Atm I'm considering to just buy the whole ass keyboard from them to snatch the caps for my custom wooting >:)))

[nova fractal]

https://fragstore.com/brands/devices/dark-project/ ?

[restive bolt]

yea I mean there I could buy the whole ass keyboard haha but like I said the caps seem to just be gone from everywhere

[nova fractal]

sorry I didn't pay enough attention you're right

I should've looked if they had the full catalog 😓

yeah you're right they seem to have just dropped off the earth

[restive bolt]

yea my best idea atm is to just get the whole board ^^"

[barren hinge]

Can anyone help me, I am building my first wooting board on the alumaze60 and no matter how hard I try I cant seem to get the stand-ins to screw in

it just wont latch on

[languid kestrel]

show us a pic of how they are right now

[barren hinge]

I mean its just empty

it wont go in

[languid kestrel]

i mean put them on as best you can and take a pic

[barren hinge]

it literally will not latch on at all

it feels like either the screw is to big or the hole is to small

[languid kestrel]

let's take the spacebar stab for example

on which side is the stab wire

wait stand-ins? I read stabs the whole time

you mean the standoffs then, right?

[barren hinge]

yeah the standoffs

the 2 gold knobs

[languid kestrel]

so one goes in the middle if you want and one under the spacebar I think, right

[barren hinge]

yeah the middle and the space bar just will not screw in

I tried to get it to screw for at least 3 hours and it just won

wont*

[languid kestrel]

did you try both in both holes

[barren hinge]

yeah I did

tried to even just get 1 to screw in and it wont

[languid kestrel]

can you look with your eyes and tell me if you can see threads in the hole to begin with?

[glossy pagoda]

Is it the standoff that won't go in the case or is it the screw that won't go in the standoff?

[barren hinge]

yeah that gold thing just will not go in where its designed too

[glossy pagoda]

Should send a picture of what you're trying to screw it into

[crimson sky]

tried it with reversing it a bit without force to make it sit straight in the thread?

[barren hinge]

yeah I was trying for hours before I finally decided to ask for any help here

I will try to reverse it not

now*

[crimson sky]

like without force

just to make sure it's sits in the threads properly

and you aren't crossthreading it

[barren hinge]

I can get it to stand for bit while doing that

but its not tightening when I trry the opposite

[crimson sky]

do the threads still look like threads to you?

[barren hinge]

I can see threads deeper

but on the surface it looks like there is none

does me not unscrewing the gold plate have anything to do with this?

[untold wigeon]

Where can i find this keycaps

[barren hinge]

Should I just continue installation without the standoff or is that stupid?

everything else has been perfect and fit like a gem

[normal schooner]

we have a youtube video on it

[barren hinge]

Yeah I watched the whole video and followed it to the letter

upto this point I had no problem

it just wont fit or screw in

is it okay to just continue the instalation without the gold stand-ins ?

[normal schooner]

@spiral canyon was the middle one ootional in the alumaze?

[crimson sky]

yes

I checked it when he mentioned it

[spiral canyon]

https://help.wooting.io/article/177-putting-your-60he-module-together

[languid kestrel]

yep it's fine and you don't really need em but it's looking like you have a dud piece

[zinc knot]

Anyone have recommendations similar to KenoKeys keycaps? Like higher quality anime keycaps

[spiral canyon]

That may be hard, there's not many official collabs when it comes to premium keycaps and anime
Higround would one of such stores, but they sell keycaps only for 65% keyboards, so incompatible with 60HE
AliExpress would your best bet I guess

[zinc knot]

A little disheartening

[uneven cradle]

it's alright they don't look good unless you look at your keyboard like this anyway

[halcyon rune]

will TX stabs work with 60HE+ Module?

[crimson sky]

yes

[halcyon rune]

clip in/screw in or plate mount?

[tawdry tree]

Get SW Knights rather than TX APs.

TX APs might not work.

[halcyon rune]

Sold out

;-;

[tawdry tree]

😭

[crimson sky]

both would work

tbh

[tawdry tree]

😬

[crimson sky]

stock stabs are fine with a bit of a touchup

on the module

[tawdry tree]

Could*

[crimson sky]

ig

[tawdry tree]

No guarantee.

[halcyon rune]

others?

for jade

[tawdry tree]

If you’re using Wooting’s keycaps you don’t need long pole stabilizers for Jades.

[halcyon rune]

gmk?

[tawdry tree]

Stock stabs would be fine

[tawdry tree]

Don’t need with GMK either.

[paper bloom]

Its a 50 50

[halcyon rune]

aight

[paper bloom]

You can get

c = 3

Those work

[tawdry tree]

It’s just loose keycaps, often of lower quality.

[paper bloom]

or some other stab besides the knights

https://ilumkb.com/products/c-equalz-screw-in-stabilizers-v3

[tawdry tree]

Durock V3s

[paper bloom]

The current wooting stabilizers that are in the stock and module are comparable to the durocks

So yea just a heads up

[tawdry tree]

To V2s yes, not V3s.

[paper bloom]

^

[tawdry tree]

V3s are quite different.

More updated

[paper bloom]

and how so?

[tawdry tree]

Their stem design and their width.

V2s are the same width as TX APs so they wouldn’t fit optimally either but V3s are slim.

They fit Cherry spec perfectly.

[paper bloom]

Ah

[halcyon rune]

imma

bet on TX since sw knights is sold out

[uneven cradle]

honestly stock is more then fine, not really any need to swap the stabs out

[paper bloom]

If u want another alternative the c= 3 is rlly good

[halcyon rune]

no LP

[uneven cradle]

don't need to be LP

Jades are not a real LP switch

[paper bloom]

@halcyon runeWhat switches u running?

^^

Its mostly

keycap tolerence

[halcyon rune]

i see

[halcyon rune]

Jade

[paper bloom]

yea works

its mostly keycap tolerance

[pale pumice]

that lilac redux is something else

matched with the WL

@harsh dove @fluid ravine

mission accomplished

😩 😩 💦

[tawdry tree]

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

[queen herald]

i underlubed my springs unfortunately

[tawdry tree]

I wouldn’t worry about it

[queen herald]

gotta work in these switches monkeytype 24/7 now

[tawdry tree]

😂😂

[queen herald]

thanks for the help

[tawdry tree]

You did all the hard work brother

[queen herald]

you did the theory for me

[tawdry tree]

Steel plate with a nail file..

[queen herald]

🙏🏿

next mission is to find a cheap used case

[tawdry tree]

You can find them second hand sometimes

[queen herald]

im going to look for Klippe T from Mekanisk

i can probably get one for like 50-60$ second hand

[tawdry tree]

it’s a minimalistic case

like the redux

I hope you can find one

[prime orbit]

What’s the difference between the 2?

Other than the Klippie being 2 times the price lol

Klippe doesn’t have a brass bar

But their high end one does

Interesting

Redux is still the better buy I guess

Look clean tho

For $100/275 idk tho 😭😭

Enthusiast case fr fr

[tidal frigate]

Fjell has brass weight

[prime orbit]

Is it under the bottom?

Oh oh

Yeah

The 275 one

I was wondering for the 100 one

Cuz if not then redux it is

No reason to pay twice to get less lmao

[tidal frigate]

Do you like how it looks

[prime orbit]

I mean kinda looks like the redux

The little mountain on the back is cool

But I heard a brass bar is kinda needed for the sound profile

Or something like that

[tidal frigate]

For what sound profile

[prime orbit]

Idk better sound?

im still new to keyboard mods

[tidal frigate]

Do you want more thocky or clacky sound?

[prime orbit]

Honestly don’t care for sound too much. But if I had to choose I guess deeper

So thick

Thock

[hard moon]

205G0 or 105 for springs?!?

[polar girder]

That’s just cuz redux sounds hollow without it

[hard moon]

@harsh dove 205G0 or 105 for springs?

[harsh dove]

Either one is fine tbh

If your springs are crunchy I’d use the thicker lube

[prime orbit]

Ah ok

[hard moon]

well, time to lube L60 springs quickly with bag lubing and hope they fit

[harsh dove]

They fit

Into jades

[hard moon]

thick line, yeah?

[paper bloom]

205

[harsh dove]

Yes lol

[visual sonnet]

jades coming in 5 days 🤞🤞

current sound test

[hard moon]

i'm actually surprised bag lubing works

[cold bloom]

plate mount according to Cam works with the wooting plate

[visual sonnet]

why?

it makes sense, no?

[harsh dove]

Yeah a few people have tx ap plate mounts that don’t work but I don’t fully understand why because they’re the same thickness as stock wooting plate mounts

[cold bloom]

my ascii keycaps are out for delivery

[cold bloom]

yeah I know it's weird

maybe the wooting pc plate tolerances aren't super consistent?

only thing I could think is maybe get those who had issues to quickly measure their plate and stabs to see

[harsh dove]

Yeah if they have calipers

[cold bloom]

also true

I need to get a good pair

[hard moon]

any pair of calipers is fine if you know how to use them

[crimson sky]

205 is too thick for springs

[paper bloom]

Do it lightly ig

Dont over do it

[crimson sky]

No

[harsh dove]

You can use 205 on springs , just don’t use a lot

[hard moon]

actually was perfectly fine

[crimson sky]

Just baglube with an oil and you are good

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s what I do

[paper bloom]

So a 205g0 LOL

[crimson sky]

No meed to overcomplicate it

[harsh dove]

But if you don’t have any then 205 is an alternative

[crimson sky]

205 is not an oil

[paper bloom]

With little lube

[crimson sky]

It's a grease

[paper bloom]

It will still cook

[harsh dove]

Iirc the wooting video says you can use a little 205 on the top and bottom of the springs

[hard moon]

i hate this...

[harsh dove]

They mated

[paper bloom]

LOL

[heavy slate]

Guys how can I make the space bar sound better on the he 2

[paper bloom]

Uhh relube ur stabilizer add EVA foam below ur keycap

Change keycaps thats one

@harsh dove i have a feeling we will until next year

For the optimum case to come out

Wait*

[uneven cradle]

Doubt it, think it'll come out just after the 80he

[paper bloom]

Idk man

What ik is if they dont full send after 80HE im off

I will legit be paying cam to buy me 1

LOO

[hard moon]

faster than expected actually

[halcyon lagoon]

what is Krytox XHT-BDZ best for?

[halcyon rune]

stab

[halcyon lagoon]

like for the housing?

[halcyon rune]

wire

[queen herald]

Stock Case, keycaps, plate and plate foam
L60 switch (lubed and films on half of the switches)
Holee modded Staebies V2.1 stabs (dont buy these they dont fit normally)

i think thats it

oh yeah tempest tape mod 2 layers only too

[halcyon rune]

do wooting include plate foam in module?

[queen herald]

✅ it did with mine

[halcyon rune]

aigth tq

[fluid ravine]

That is beautiful wow

pretty pretty

[fluid ravine]

Yes it does, it comes with poron plate foam and silicone pad

[queen herald]

silicone pad !?

[fluid ravine]

Silicone plate foam if you may, although its not a foam so we say pad

[queen herald]

😮

[hard moon]

LAST SWITCH!

[sweet oak]

Final stretch

[fluid ravine]

Yay!!!

One more push!

[unreal stone]

does anyone have a comparison of stock vs lubed jade switches?

can't find a video of it anywhere

[hard moon]

@bronze grove request for some empty L60 and L45 blisters

[polar girder]

Just lube them lol

Lubing the switches is always the answer

[fluid ravine]

gib i STM them

[polar girder]

Not to say stock lube is bad. But hand lube always better

[fluid ravine]

What if stock lube became better than hand lube

[polar girder]

I’ll wait.

[fluid ravine]

heh

do better factory!!!

[polar girder]

Dude this frog config definitely fair bit quieter

Except for space bar

[fluid ravine]

That's lit, tadpole mount do be doing it's thang

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m pretty happy

[hard moon]

[polar girder]

Tempted to buy nylon and CF plate to try but idk if I care enough to mess around that much lol

[fluid ravine]

yay!!!

YEAH DUDE

Middle Standoff User Detected

[polar girder]

FEOG PLAYE DOESNT HAVE A CENTER HOLE

I exclaimed out loud when I noticed that

[fluid ravine]

LOL

[polar girder]

I hate that hole

With a passion

[fluid ravine]

Count me in >:(

[hard moon]

damn, i love how it sounds with the Jades

it feels totally different too

[cold bloom]

Cherry clip ins have arrived. Now just need my pcb and switches to ship from ashkeebs lol

[cold bloom]

Yeah long poles are a cool feeling to type on

[unreal stone]

worth the 3 hours?

[polar girder]

debatable.

but imo yes

[unreal stone]

i hand lubed one to see if there was a noticable difference, but i am unable to tell

so i wanted to see other comparisons

[hard moon]

actually? Now that i had to spring swap 120 switches i can tell that the factory lubing is good enough that hand lubing will barely show any changes

[unreal stone]

what springs did you put in

[hard moon]

L60's

[unreal stone]

full sized kb?

[hard moon]

60HE

[unreal stone]

is it worth it?

how do they feel compared to the stock jades?

[hard moon]

a bit stiffer than the stock jade springs

[unreal stone]

ahhh ok

i kinda like how easy the stock jades are to press

[hard moon]

@harsh dove perfect amount of 205G0 btw

all the springs had the perfect amount of lube

[harsh dove]

[unreal stone]

the bag got beat to death by springs

[daring helm]

You baglube using 205g0?

[hard moon]

yep

worked fine for me

[unreal stone]

are you meant to use oil usually?

[daring helm]

I just handlube them

[unreal stone]

ahh fair

bag lube saves time tho ig

[cold bloom]

This is what I used to bag lube my springs, some people use 205 but they usually just brush it on heavy at either end of the spring

[hard moon]

anyways, that's factory lubed currently

so it's safe to say that factory lubing became way better than it used to be and doesn't require hand lubing at the end. Hence why i've bag lubed the springs and called it a day

[marsh saffron]

thats factory lubed?

damn

might just go through and do top housing and springs when i get my dashes

[unreal stone]

ahhh bet

how does the sound differ when using that compared to 205g0

anyone know of any good keyboard retailers based in aus? only been able to find one (https://www.switchkeys.com.au/), their inventory is a little limited. Shipping is a bitch ong

[cold bloom]

Yeah I think springs are the only thing that really need lubing at first with jades. I did l60 spring swap them and lubed them at that time, and I noticed some stems are starting to get dry again after hand lubing the stems and bottom housings too

[harsh dove]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[unreal stone]

thank you kind sir

[unreal stone]

so basically just need to reapply lube once they get dry from factory?

[cold bloom]

I found I did, ymmv

Just keep an eye on them and you can always touch it up later or even do a few at a time as they get a bit dry

Yerr

@harsh dove any bets if the keycaps are scuffed?

Like tossed around in the case lol

[hard moon]

Same. I've swapped the springs with L60's too, because the gateron springs felt kinda stiff, but also spongy at the same time. Some weird feel to it
