Agreed. I think the l60s are my fave springs for he switches that I’ve tried so far but I ordered black jades so wanna try those two stage ones out

hard moon
#

i'll buy some black jades too, but only for some more wobble reduction

cold bloom
#

Not the worst I’ve seen

hard moon
#

time to copy @harsh doves Frankenstein switches

#

the wobble on the Jades is impressively less compared to the regular L60's

#

Tbh idk if it’s just me but every set I’ve received has either been perfect or ever so slightly tossed around like a couple keys

#

And it’s funny cause where I live is not exactly smooth roads

Thank you lord bigsly

harsh dove
#

In terms of being tossed

#

That’s probably about as bad as mine ever get

cold bloom
#

yeah I'd take that lol

#

I wonder if they could mold a case for them like the pbtfans trays but maybe outta some kinda like hemp plastic

#

or something that will meet their regs

#

these definitely sound a bit brighter than the pbtfans abs keycaps, I see what alexotos was saying when he mentioned that before

it's a really satisfying sound tho

#

Honestly getting a new set of switches may be my last purchase for a while on my board

#

It's prob where I can say that the switch will define how my board will sound no debate

#

clack, thock, neutral, all depends on the switch now

#

Pretty sure i need something really high pitched, my board is pretty low on the frequency chart

mortal pine
#

Anyone hear about resolving their cerakey spacebar sticking by lubing stabs?

fluid ravine
#

Thats new?

fluid ravine
#

But since you specifically said cerakey all i can think of is the spacebar being too heavy for the switch or your lube/grease has gotten under the stabs on the pcb which makes it sticky causing the stabs to have a bit of a delay when returning to its inital position

mortal pine
#

Ya know I think you're right and it is simply the weight plus the extra friction from unlubed stabs. I was wondering why a standalone 40g switch is able to easily lift the spacebar but not the one in the Wooting but I realized the switch in the wooting has the weight of the stabs plus the friction working against it.

#

My cerakey spacebar won't return whatsoever on the stock wooting. I'll give the stabs a good lubing and/or switching to better screw in stabs to see if it helps.

untold wigeon
#

It won’t return because the spring is too weak. At minimum you need the stock L60 spring to lift it. I’d suggest an 80-100g spring.

#

@mortal pine

cold bloom
untold wigeon
#

Reading your comment more thoroughly I guess a dry stab could contribute but I’m certain your spring is more likely the culprit. 55g is required at a minimum. I found in my testing that 60 was doable but had return problems. I regained normal spacebar function after installing 100g spring.

#

The keyset takes its colors and legends from the vintage Halleffect Keyboard by Micro Switch. The sub-legends on the alphas are ASCII control characters, an early method of issuing commands to a computer.

#

just realized the Ascii keycap set has a cool history for the wooting lol

I have a feeling I'm gonna end up with a bunch of mx keebs and the 80he eventually lol

I think that new mtnu profile looks interesting

With a grey nylon plate

Yeah it is neat

#

Fairly shallow tho

I love the big finger bowls on the SA caps. My favorite.

leaden sinew
#

based on what i read in the FAQ, is the best 3rd party pre-lubed switch in terms of compatibility and all that the jade / dashes? at this point at i cant use un-lubed switches due to preference and im much too lazy to lube my own switches anymore after experiencing the quality of higrounds geo linears. i read a little bit into the magnet compatibility and all that but admittedly didnt know what any of it meant lol

tawdry tree
leaden sinew
#

yeah i like the sound of the dashes and the stickyrices but ive heard the sticky rices are especially unreliable i guess? i have never used / built a magnetic keeb before so i dont really know how to tell what that even means / looks like so im just trying to get the best option overall

#

unless the lekkers come prelubed too? i cant see anything about them being lubed but i saw in the batch update channel that they are doing a v2 of them and dont know if thats what would come if i ordered them rn (im getting a module and alumaze so i have to buy them separately on the site)

polar girder
#

Yeah I would skip sticky rice

#

Prob dash, jade or lavender or raw HE

#

Lekkers are good

#

Most factory line is just a swipe on the stem

#

But that’s the bare minimum

#

Some are better than others

leaden sinew
#

would you say overall 1 to 1, dashes are better than lekkers?

polar girder
#

Pretty sure dashes are just a jade recolor

#

And most people seem to prefer it to the lekkers.

#

Just a sound, feel difference but lekkers kind of being the first one, most newer HE switches are an improvement

leaden sinew
#

in terms of performance tho i wont really have an issue with the dash / jades? i know they have a slightly tighter top to bottom distance so idk how that would affect the performance, im assuming it just means i have less actuation points and release points to work with, but the switch itself still works fine?

polar girder
#

Yeah they’re all the same performance wise. Yeah just little difference in total travel and spring weight

#

Well not ALL the same. Hence avoid sticky rice lol. But yeah

leaden sinew

bet. appreciate you!

# final widget Are these custom cables worth it? Do they change or make better anything perform...

The idea behind a QDC cable is for people who frequently change their setup and/or keyboards. (like myself)
It’s not only for aesthetics, it’s also for quality of life at your setup without having to change out entire cables, get under the desk/behind the computer etc.

Most people do just buy them for aesthetics though and don’t fully use them for their intended purpose.

And there can be a performance difference if you get a low quality cable, I.e tachyon mode on Wooting boards may not work with lower spec cables. I’ve had friends with cheap cables get random key presses on their boards, RGB Flickering, etc etc

Interesting! The reason I asked also cause I saw a video of someone reviewing 60 and said they couldn’t use tachyon cause of their cable aswell and tbh not sure if I will use it but I don’t want to be limited if I would like to.
Could you recommend any good/trusted cable makers? If anything I’d make a basic black one.
I did see also that usb can be silver or gold(which is more expensive) any particular reason for that?

Are wooting cables good generally? Or would you recommend me to make one anyways

#

Also could you link wired in? Not heard of them before

harsh dove
# final widget Interesting! The reason I asked also cause I saw a video of someone reviewing 60...

Wooting Cables are guaranteed to work, so there’s that.
If you want a custom, it can get expensive depending on what you go for and I’d shoot for 6ft or shorter because that also affects things like tachyon mode, and keep in mind coiled cables have most of their length wound up in the coil itself so be mindful of that.

Silver and Gold Connectors are - well I’ll just refer you to this picture lol

Wooting Cables are pretty solid and come with straight and coiled in a single kit for around $50 USD and they just released some new colorways as well.

If you really want something personalized and custom and have the budget for it. Then WiredIn makes some insane custom high quality cables.

looks fine

the standoffs on the edges kinda prevent it from sitting in the gaps like a real oring mount

Do I have to force it in?

you might have to press it into your case a bit

#

but it shouldn't feel too hard to press in

steel hemlock
cold bloom
#

yeah that's not right lol

steel hemlock
#

I mean anymore force and it doesn’t feel normal

cold bloom
#

can you try and press the oring in from the bottom

#

like press it in with your finger nails or something pointy

#

and see if it goes in easier

steel hemlock
cold bloom
#

also the right side near the backspace you'll have to make sure the oring goes in first

steel hemlock
#

Pops out

cold bloom
#

weird

#

it does look like its a bit wider on the assembly than mine was

#

try stretching it out?

steel hemlock
#

Do I have to remove any screws?

#

From the pcb

cold bloom
#

not usually cause the plate has standoffs anyway

#

so it'll still be there

#

the one near the top right near the backspace is the hardest one

#

you gotta kinda insert the left side first, then press the oring in from the top right first

#

then press the bottom in if needed

steel hemlock
#

Yeah I don’t get it 😭

#

It’s easy to just

#

Wrap around

#

It isn’t that tight?

cold bloom
#

if it isn't too tight you're just gonna have to press it into the case better

#

try getting it in from the top first

#

so put the usb side in then you'll see the standoff near the backspace it kinda warps the oring out

#

press that in and down into the case first

#

then push the assembly more from the bottom

#

if the oring hits the case press it in with your finger nails so it goes in below the plate

#

and then try pressing it down in

#

How do I take my board out

polar girder
#

that's the tricky part

fluid ravine
#

You got the prebuilt 60he right?

steel hemlock
#

60HE+

#

But yes

polar girder
#

gravity and using the big space bar slot

fluid ravine
#

if you have the prebuilt with the stock plate then you should be fine with this method

#

take a switch puller

polar girder
#

but it's not easy sometimes

fluid ravine
#

and hook it under the plate where the spacebar is and pull up

steel hemlock
#

Holy shit

#

We got it

polar girder
#

nice

fluid ravine
#

lesgooo

#

alr gimme a min

im making the vid for you

I’m so lost

polar girder
#

but yeah i'm not a huge fan of friction mount cuz it is kind of tricky lol

steel hemlock

Yeah idk

#

After this

I don’t think I’ll test the waters

yep

steel hemlock
#

Maybe you’re having the same issue as me 😂

#

Oh then idk

visual sonnet
#

what’s your issue?

steel hemlock
#

Likely stabs

#

For me it’s oring mount

#

Screw stabs were fine

#

would like multiple opinions, so i’ll wait for what others say too

steel hemlock

I’m having a completely seperate problem, just similar result to yours

ah i see

oh yeah, also physique reveal too ig

#

visual sonnet
#

LMAO

steel hemlock
#

Guys

#

I managed to get the oring in correctly

visual sonnet
#

its because i have an AC unit, so i have to tilt it away so i can reduce the "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" sounds

fluid ravine

# fluid ravine

Mb bout my wording
Was rushing the vid to be 1 min as I don't got nitro

fluid ravine
# fluid ravine

So the main idea of this would be that beaware there is 2 standoffs on both side of the plate and pcb that will be pushing out the o'ring, you would need to make sure that does get pushed in between the pcb and plate as those would be pushed above the plate more easily.

steel hemlock
#

Yeah mine doesn't seem to slot is as easily as yours but after a few tries I managed to slide it in without anything "spilling" out

#

I pushed it in a similar fashion do yours

fluid ravine
#

I recommend starting with one of those standoffs either side while inserting the whole top module with the oring into the case, then also pushing in the other side of the o'ring for the other standoff. Once you push both sides in, you will be left with the bottom side of the module with the oring. Take something or with your thumb and push the oring in between the plate and pcb evenly and as you push it in, push the module down so it can be inserted into the case.

steel hemlock
#

Never mind I lied..

#

\

fluid ravine
#

Once you get it in, check if there's any o'ring that is sitting above the plate

#

If there is, take it out and retry

steel hemlock
fluid ravine
#

or you can take something like a card and push it in

#

@steel hemlock should be no sign of oring being above the plate

steel hemlock
#

No sign of spilling anymore :)

fluid ravine
#

If it makes it a little bit better on what it looks like for me

fluid ravine
#

If you notice that any of your stabs sound weird like space bar or backspace then something wrong with the oring

cold bloom
#

@steel hemlock do you have any plate foam in?

#

it might work a bit easier without

#

but idk how it'll sound

fluid ravine
#

thats how i got my silicone to work

#

and also made the mounting easier

cold bloom
#

OH it's silicone

#

that would explain it

#

might would only fit in my tofu with the poron foam

#

stock anyway

steel hemlock
#

I have the stock wooting foam

cold bloom
#

oh okay

#

that sounds a lot better tho

steel hemlock
#

The only thing I notice is one side of the space bar is a bit more rattly sounding but that was the same as before the oring

#

So I'll just need to grease it or something idk

cold bloom
#

yeah mine still does that a bit

steel hemlock
#

But yeah it does a big difference

#

I like it

cold bloom
#

just soak it in dielectric grease

#

that's all I've been able to do

#

it'll come back slowly just keep it greased

fluid ravine

This was plate mounted

#

The quality is ass because Im recording off a wifi app from phone cause my webcam isn't plugged in

cold bloom

that sounds nice too

fluid ravine
cold bloom
#

the mic makes it sound a bit more hollow than I think it really does

#

OMG THACKVOICE

fluid ravine
#

But it also shows the difference a bit more

cold bloom
#

HIS VOICE EVEN THACKS

fluid ravine
#

LOL

cold bloom
#

bro can you read me a bedtime story

steel hemlock
fluid ravine
# fluid ravine But it also shows the difference a bit more

I mean think abt it when you tray mount the board, the pcb makes direct contact with the case which would mean the sound reverb would go boucning in the case and travels through the case which would make it sound a bit hollow unless you use a dense foam

cold bloom
#

I use the sm7b foam on it tho

fluid ravine
#

o

cold bloom
#

I like how it makes it sound

#

gives it a bit more of a dense foam for the plosives

fluid ravine
#

fluid ravine

lul

#

No problem anytime

#

Let us know if you got anymore questions or problems

steel hemlock
#

I probs would've figured it out EVENTUALLY but man just getting it done like you guys said made it so much faster

#

And the spacebar trick to pull the board out

#

Kudos man that saved me

cold bloom
#

yeah I struggled with mine a bunch

#

but it works eventually

#

lmao

steel hemlock
#

Appreciated big time

cold bloom
#

anytime brotha

steel hemlock
#

I'm getting the 60HE module later this week

cold bloom
#

W

steel hemlock
#

I say I'm but

cold bloom
#

I wish I had the module

steel hemlock
#

It'll be another build for a friend

cold bloom
#

my stabs are fine but still

#

wish I had it

fluid ravine
steel hemlock
#

Hehehe

cold bloom
#

maybe someday I'll get one as an update

#

have had this since it came out basically

fluid ravine
#

Yup same here

#

Just gotta find the opportunity

#

need to sell and buy

cold bloom
#

Yeah exactly

fluid ravine
#

yeah mines like 1 1/2 old already

cold bloom
#

and I've been happier buying other keeb shit in the meantime

steel hemlock
#

If ever you have a friend that wants a Wooting

#

Hook them up

cold bloom
#

I think when I have a nice mx build it'll be easier to sell and buy a module

steel hemlock
#

And then get what you want for yourself

#

That's what I did 😆

cold bloom
#

so I can give it up for a bit

fluid ravine
# steel hemlock Hook them up

Got someone in this server that i want to sell it to, just dont know when or how im gonna take the chance with my parents on selling it and buying a module

fluid ravine
steel hemlock
#

Are you NA?

#

Canada by any chance?

fluid ravine
#

I like wanna fully build my Wooting to the extent, then like build another DZ60 MX build and gummy mount that one so i can swap between both Wooting pcb and MX pcb in the same case

cold bloom
#

I'm in Canada

#

lol

fluid ravine
fluid ravine
#

heh

#

Well don't wanna spend extra money on a case

#

so

cold bloom
#

fair lol

steel hemlock
#

If you're Canadian, Post Canada has a delivery with signature that require the payment to be done directly to the delivery driver by debit/credit and then postcanada fowards the payment to you

fluid ravine
#

might as well reuse the one i have been gifted with

steel hemlock
#

I think some states might have something similar

#

They take a small cut but

#

For things like these I feel can be worth

cold bloom
#

that's kinda dope, like they'd take payment for the whole keeb?

steel hemlock
#

When the 30 series scalping stuff was happening some guy sold me a 3070 PC that way and I had 0 issues

cold bloom
#

not just the delivery?

steel hemlock
#

Yeah

cold bloom
#

that's awesome

steel hemlock
#

I missed the delivery, they brought it to the post office

#

I paid like 1400$ for the PC and Delivery

cold bloom
#

that's actually really cool to know

steel hemlock
#

He got ~1350$ back?

cold bloom
#

decent

#

thanks for sharing man

steel hemlock
#

Yeah

#

It's very cool in Canada

cold bloom
#

I had no idea

#

I might use that in the future

#

cause paypal takes like what 9% anyway

steel hemlock
#

I wouldn't do it for things worth less than 200$ because then you start seeing a dent on the money you couldve made selling it locally

cold bloom
#

exactly

steel hemlock
#

But higher end custom keyboards, computers, etc.

#

Totally worth it

cold bloom
#

that sounds better than paypal fees tbh

#

for Canada

steel hemlock
#

Even with Paypal, I don't feel safe with anything that isn't friends and Family

cold bloom
#

agreed

steel hemlock
#

But try convincing someone to send friends and family that you don't know

cold bloom
#

I've had some bad experiences

#

not many

#

but enough

steel hemlock
#

Yeah

#

My CSGO trading days taught me the ways

cold bloom
#

LOL

steel hemlock
#

They taught me to not

cold bloom
#

my sneaker days did too

#

same shit

#

sneakers you have to worry about fakes and trades too

#

Whole different art

cold bloom
#

yup

#

not fun

but I got some good deals over the years

#

I got a pair of turtle doves on a trade for a macbook LMAO

and got the soles repainted

Ok those are CLEAN

cold bloom

#

and right

#

I love them

gilded hinge
#

are there any good silent he switches yet

cold bloom
#

not really

#

mostly just lekkers/similar variants which are loud and jades which I find kinda clacky

gilded hinge
#

are there any at all

cold bloom
#

and similar recolours/variants

#

no real silents yet

#

no

gilded hinge
#

damn

cold bloom
#

maybe soon

#

it seems to be a growing market

#

but still early

fluid ravine
#

heh me with my silent board

#

not really

cold bloom
#

I mean there's no real silent switch yet tho

#

like modded to be silent

fluid ravine
#

yeah there isn't

cold bloom
#

easiest way to silence boards lately with he switches is just a fuck ton of foam and tape mod etc

#

load it up as much as you can lol

gilded hinge
#

ic

fluid ravine
#

I think mostly really on foam

#

thicker foam i say

#

Case foam i would use sound deadner like kilmat or silicone

steel hemlock
#

They’d elevate my fit

fluid ravine
#

pads i would go silicone to remove the mid tones to give it a more muted sound

steel hemlock
#

But they definitely are worth too much for me to comfortably wear to the gym

fluid ravine
#

Poron removes the high tone which could also help as well so i would try both silicone or poron but from my experience silicone cuts out the mid tones very well to make it muted like advertised and tested which makes it quiet

steel hemlock
#

Btw

#

Can you gummy mount on module?

#

With screw in stabs?

fluid ravine
#

Nop

#

Best results would be Clip ins and Plate mounts

#

Screwins are a guarantee no

#

even with the traditional gummy mount boards

#

o'ring doesnt work with screw ins

cold bloom
#

Cherry clip ins best stabs anyways

#

just gotta clip the bottoms

fluid ravine
#

yup yup

cold bloom
#

I noticed my stock plate mount stabs have similar bottoms to the stems too, I might try and clip them sometime and clean them and re-lube them etc

steel hemlock
#

Stabs seem to be the most pain in the ass thing to mod about a keyboard

fluid ravine
#

@steel hemlock Staebies and TX AP clip ins would have problems with the wooting PCB plate as the housing is too thick which the plate compresses it and making the stem stuck between it

cold bloom
#

yeah stabs can be a pain in the ass

steel hemlock
#

Oh wow

cold bloom
#

do you have dielectric grease?

fluid ravine
steel hemlock
#

I was looking at staebies

steel hemlock
#

Good heads up

fluid ravine
#

😂

cold bloom
#

LMAO

#

I would never

fluid ravine
#

imagine

steel hemlock
#

What about Durock stabs? Are they even worth touching

fluid ravine
#

LOL

cold bloom
#

Dom do you have dielectric grease

fluid ravine
#

Sure they're fine

cold bloom
#

for your stabs

steel hemlock
#

Somewhere in my dads garage definitely

#

That mf was bored just the other week and built a whole ass boat from scratch

#

I’d be surprised if he doesn’t

cold bloom
#

ok find that, and take your stab wires and dip the ends where it bends and clips into your stabs

#

like coat it good

#

past the bend

#

trust

fluid ravine
#

correct my if im wrong anybody

steel hemlock
#

Oh I was talking about their plate mount stabs

fluid ravine
#

i mean they got they're v3's

#

idk if they're good

steel hemlock
#

I’m fine with my current keyboard but as I mentioned getting a module for a friend

fluid ravine
#

but the stem updates seems promising?

#

kinda?

#

idk

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

steel hemlock
#

Idk if keep screw ins and burger mod mount instead of gummy or smth

cold bloom
#

try the dielectric grease on your spacebar dom

steel hemlock
#

Or upgrade stabs

cold bloom
#

let me know it if works

#

or helps

steel hemlock
#

Oh for myself I’ll definitely do that

cold bloom
#

yeah I wanna see how it improves it

steel hemlock
#

I’ll keep you updated

cold bloom
#

for mine it just makes it more consistent

#

if you do a good enough coat so it's covered all over the 2 ends just past the bends

#

it'll sound great

#

you almost want it to look like it's more than you'd think is good

steel hemlock
#

And holey mod right 😂

cold bloom
#

you want a lot

#

I didn't do that

#

but you can

steel hemlock
#

Is it even worth

cold bloom
#

it wasn't for me

steel hemlock
#

The bandaid and hole mods I see for stabs are just wild

cold bloom
#

I couldn't get it to stick cause I had too much lube already lmao

steel hemlock
#

So much effort for tiny changes

cold bloom
#

the one on the pcb might be more worth

#

idk tho

fluid ravine
cold bloom
#

just the small squares under the stabs

#

if you have pcb mount

fluid ravine
#

You don't really need to do the extra mods

cold bloom
#

I would try the one under the mount points

#

myself

#

but otherwise nah

fluid ravine
cold bloom
#

yeah

fluid ravine
#

Ah

#

Those are preference

#

100%

cold bloom
#

I forget which "mod" that is

fluid ravine
#

Yeah same

#

xd

cold bloom
#

but some people cut up squares of band aids

#

and put it on the pcb where the stabs hit

fluid ravine
#

Wooting pretty smart with the imprint of the stem bottom out on the pcb

steel hemlock
#

So I’ll just do grease with mine, that sounds great.

Otherwise for a wooting module, would you replace the screw ins? I’d assume they’re pretty good stock but then your best mounting option is burger mod

cold bloom
#

I never noticed that

fluid ravine
#

yeah when you take out your stabs and look on the pcb

#

there's like X squares where the stem hits

cold bloom
#

that's dope

fluid ravine
#

it makes it useful for people to know how big to cut the bandaid and where to place

cold bloom
#

that's why they sound decent lubed up

fluid ravine
#

without having to guess

cold bloom
#

even the plate mounts

fluid ravine
#

mhm

cold bloom
#

that's dope

fluid ravine
#

yup yup

#

oh wait you mean just the x lines in white?

fluid ravine

lol

#

So everything was perfect until it was time to take the metal bar out of the stabilizer housings. There’s no explanation on how to remove it properly and I’m pretty sure I just broke the stem from removing the bar without explanation… can someone help explain how to remove metal bar from the end stabilizer housings? Just want to lube them and throw them back on 😕
