Soooo

#

Should I save the $2

#

I’m always down for saving money

glossy pagoda
#

Yea, what's life without a little risk? dogekek

True šŸ˜‚

#

Now I can use that $2 towards the laser cutter mod 😭

#

if it’ll work

#

in my head it does

tawdry tree
prime orbit
#

Bet I get to save $2

tawdry tree
#

It seems popular there but maybe I don’t understand its purpose fully?

prime orbit
#

Eh

#

I’ll save my money

If anything happens

I don’t mind being on the phone all day

I ain’t got anything better to do

Lmaooo

#

Do you guys know if my ā€œmodā€ would work?

#

Laser cut the inside of the freebird60 to fit the brass bar from the tofu60 redux?

tawdry tree
prime orbit
#

Ye I would pay someone to do it

tawdry tree
#

In theory could work but I think it’d be too expensive

prime orbit
#

It looks thick enough

tawdry tree
prime orbit
#

Oh yeah it probably would cost a lot lmaoooo

#

I’m just thinking of ways to mod it to fit some brass

#

Since I heard having it makes it sound way better

tawdry tree
#

If there’s enough room between the inside bottom of the case and how high the PCB sits, you could just tape it down šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

#

or some thinner weights

prime orbit
#

Jank ass

#

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

tawdry tree
#

would be much cheaper

prime orbit

Fair dogekek

#

@calm pulsar ik you gonna be biased but which is better quality the redux or the freebird?

#

You too @tawdry tree

#

Which would you say

#

Save the money and get the freebird?

tawdry tree
#

just reduc

calm pulsar

@prime orbit do you have family nembers with machines like that?

to me I was willing to go for fb60 cause I liked the looks better

tawdry tree
tidal frigate
#

It is cnc but you have to do everything by hand

prime orbit
prime orbit

#

Also it has to be in exactly same thickness

#

Yes

prime orbit
#

Yeah the redux is looking better

#

I’ll just do that

#

$20 more

#

That’s fine

calm pulsar
#

the weight costs too

tawdry tree
#

less than having someone mill the damn thing would be

#

🤣

#

redux with weight is like $80?

calm pulsar
prime orbit
#

$20 more than freebird in total

#

And yes I added the switch puller to get free shipping

#

I save $3

magic forge
#

I s the just white alumaze case shiny? or the ocean blue abit more ?

sweet oak
#

Pinks also shiny

magic forge

cause im trying to match this keycap above. I kinda like the ocean blue (shinier case), but i think it will be too mcuh blue. Any thoughts? and just go with white.

I’ve heard that the stock stabs don’t work with the jades because of the travel distance

the shine through ones

My aftermarket plate doesn't support snap in stabilizer can i still make snap in stabs fit somehow?

You can balance your stock stabilizer wires to improve sound if you hear rattle.

Would there be anyway possible for my pom plate to still hold snap in stabs

tawdry tree
# boreal fjord

You can’t make that work but you have the 60HE+, you can buy TX APs, Staebies or others.

boreal fjord
#

Attempting to gummy mount so i cant use screw ins

#

but i just noticed my pom plate isnt made for snap in stabs

tawdry tree
boreal fjord
#

I see

#

Damn more waiting

tawdry tree
#

Those work with an O-Ring.

boreal fjord
#

I might just temporarily use my brass plate or the stock plate

#

Until i order something resolve my issue

#

Very unfortunate

tawdry tree
#

You didn’t have the Module right? Just the 60HE+?

boreal fjord
#

I have the module

#

It came with the stock plate

tawdry tree
#

Then use the stock stabs

#

of the Module.

boreal fjord
#

On my pom plate?

tawdry tree
#

for now

#

Yeah

boreal fjord
#

Let me check if they happen to fit

#

Brb

tawdry tree
#

or your brass plate but if you want to try out the POM plate you can do that.

boreal fjord
#

Bro

#

@tawdry tree

#

Stock stabs worked

#

U deserve a handy

#

Tysm man

#

I have a new question now

#

Will changing the stock stab wires change the initial sound?

cyan zodiac
#

No

#

Aren't you trying to minimise wire sound as that is where the rattle comes from

tawdry tree
#

Wires are often slightly bent from factory and balancing means to bend them back.

#

So they’re (almost) perfectly straight.

paper bloom
#

@boreal fjord make sure ur lube for ur stabs and to the wire are prim and proper

gleaming crow
#

which mods are actually worth doing, i have a new case and jades on the way, is there anything else i should look to mod to make it sound a little better?

paper bloom

As in for stabilizers? That a 1.75U key doesn’t have?

untold wigeon
# tawdry tree Posts?

Ugh. I’d have to start digging. I was hoping someone with experience could tell me.

tawdry tree
#

Only thing I can think of that it’d interfere with the switch itself, as in you can’t press it down all the way.

untold wigeon
#

Yes where the key connects to the stabilizer

tawdry tree
#

But I don’t think that’s the case with Gateron’s switches and GMK’s keycaps.

tawdry tree
#

It’s a 1.75U key.

#

šŸ˜…

#

Good point. lol

untold wigeon

So maybe it’s as you say and you don’t get a full press

little glen

Stepped cap has the stem on the left

tawdry tree

Ohhh

Wooting stem is placed to be in the middle

tawdry tree

Yeah you’re right

I knew I heard it somewhere. Ty @little glen

There are that are centered

untold wigeon

I’m grabbing a GMK set and was hoping it was possible to use. I read about a workaround where they were gluing it in place with a home-brew epoxy. Super jank though

I don’t think GMK’s is though

Like I said. Jank.

tawdry tree
#

That’s so tedious omg

untold wigeon
#

Agreed

#

It would be on a key I can’t use anyway. It might be worth a try.

boreal fjord
#

When gummy mounting do i still have to use the screw to align my connection port?

#

Or is that ideal?

cold bloom
#

I really wanted to get a stepped caps to work too, I remember researching it a bunch and there's a file on geekhack you can 3D print and try if you have some keycaps you'd be okay with cutting up a bit lol

#

otherwise it's not possible

untold wigeon
#

I spend enough money on mice and keyboards. I’m not getting into 3D Printing. lol

Imagine if you could order a Woot PCB in any layout

I just now noticed it with my overhead lights lmao

I just flipped it back around tho either way, unfortunate spot for a mold mark I guess

but I remember my pudding keycaps I had wait back had like 5 of them in a row on that side of the spacebar lmao

You use flipped spacebar?

It’s literally been confirmed by manufacturer

Aka Gateron

The lube was noticeably better on the jades ime

Yeah and lubing can make a switch sound different but that doesn’t mean it is physical difference in material or design

people like that are what ruin hobbies for people lol it takes no effort to be like you know what I might have had a diff experience with the ones I got, but just use whichever you prefer @cedar gate

cognitive dissonance is really strong man lol

buying something more expensive inheritently makes people think it must be better, sometimes the same goes just cause they bought something different

# gleaming crow thats correct, im also gonna swap to jades if that makes a difference

For mine, I got the 45A Medium Oring to gummy mount it. (https://mech.land/products/graveshift-o-rings?variant=41067113513113)

The number just means how firm it is, so the smaller number means it'll have a softer sound etc.

I have stock Jades and stock steel plate with the Tofu, this is the difference in between both for mine.

i just want a nice looking keyboard and not have to study keyboards tbh

Keyboard modding is a rabbit hole and it’s ok not not cannonball in dogekek

cedar gate
#

Do you want that

steel hemlock
#

The Thackson did a GREAT video demonstrating what the gummy mount mod is here (I needed his help yesterday he's the goat) So you can have an idea how/what it's for.

This replace the needs for screws as it fits in to the case by being tight around the rubber ring.

Youre canadian too right?

gleaming crow

yes i am

#

They offer lettermail with postcanada

#

2$ shipping

#

No tracking but

#

Super sweet

#

instead of paying 20$ of import and shipping from other sites

#

Mech land is the goat

gleaming crow

all the other sites have insane shipping

Nice

#

Yeah this site is the GOAT for Canadians

#

Brushes, lube, orings, etc.

I like the tofu because of the simplistic look but alumaze is a bit more flashy

#

Sound is similar but you don't care lol

i barely even hear my keyboard anyways while wearing a headset

seen it before but i really disslike the gold part

man i want a holy 60 but i cant spend like 500€ on this keyboard

It's alright holy60 sounds bad anyway

huh?

The only case that has good bounce is the salvation and its like 1.5x the price of holy60

He could try the burger mount

a little bit of bounce not so much

Is cool

But know that it wont be bouncy

cedar gate
#

I did burger mount on my tofu I don't get bounce like at all

red abyss
#

now im confused i never said anything about bounce i didnt even know what that was until 2 mins ago

paper bloom

Youre getting isnt too fucked

U probs overtightened it like me

Im getting some of it

I didn't crank it down at all

Esp on the far right

but not my left

loud zephyr

cedar gate
#

Then again I don't mind cuz I personally hate bounce I did burger mount to avoid metal on metal

paper bloom

So i went to stock case

uneven cradle

Anything better then tray mount fr

Via a live stream

with a more texture based with a brass bottom

HE could try a gasket PSD60 but he will need a modded plate

Cuz the plates in there dont cook for the 60

#

O a alumaze clone

red abyss
uneven cradle
#

Yeah redux has the most colour options

red abyss
#

ill prob either get a tofu 60 or the alumaze clone

paper bloom
#

IF you ask me

#

Id advise waiting

#

If you dont wanna wait and would prefer to use now

#

Id recommend either the tofu or the GH60 aluminum case

red abyss
#

im not the best at waiting

red abyss
cedar gate
# red abyss yh

K I'd get tofu60 redux dark purple and some pbtfans keycaps

#

It's just simpler that way

#

They have a few good purple sets

#

And gmk will shine so unless you want that pbtfans is the way to go

red abyss
cedar gate
#

As much as it pains me to say this if you only care about looks you don't need brass weight

loud zephyr
#

Wooting needs some of the pcb underglow for acrylic cases

red abyss
paper bloom
#

If he wants a dark toner color and its light dependent it isnt gonna be easy because it varies on color

red abyss
#

how much would it be to get it recolored? anyone here any idea?

paper bloom
#

CUSTOM ones

#

idk

#

depends on ur metal worker and as well as how much you really want done

Not quite purple tho

and not as round

i really like round corners

polar girder

They used to make that case

In a regular configuration

But like $300

red abyss

ah

polar girder

And you have to make a custom plate for it

Yeah the nice stuff gets expensive pepe_cry ā˜ ļø

#

oh i found one of the best purples yet but that case is so fat

untold wigeon

Its not far from the purple you want. Under $100usd too.

Good amount of weight to it also

im ordering things in for my wooting 60he+ module. I bought a graveshift 50A gummy oring. This wouldn't fit with stock stabs and I would need to get clip in stabs right? I've just read that TX stabs r a bit tight and the keys might get stuck?

fluid ravine
#

General rule with Gummy O'rings is that the O'ring cant fit with Screw In Stabilizers so it is best recommended to use Clip in Stabs if you're going for PCB mounted stabilizers, otherwise plate mount works fine as well.

still hatch
#

what clip in or plate moutn stabs do u recommend personally?

Did you just not claim the role

Can't you transfer ownership?

And claim the role that way

fluid ravine

It's fine, I dont want to go all the trouble

steel hemlock

Cause I just bought one for a friend and made a support ticket about it cause I was curious

#

Okok

fluid ravine

He bought 2 for himself so dunno which one is which

#

lul

steel hemlock
#

And gonna reuse my lekkers and case from my stock wooting :)

#

For the module

fluid ravine
#

šŸ‘

steel hemlock
#

I'd want to try the PC plate but

#

Not gonna lie

#

Jade's on steel plate is actually really crisp

still hatch
#

this is a silly question but since I am doing gummy o ring. I dont need to buy smaller orings for the burger mount right?

steel hemlock
#

Nope

still hatch
#

perfect that saves me some time on shipping then

steel hemlock
#

You won't use any screws for the case

fluid ravine
still hatch
steel hemlock
#

You especially DONT want to screw in your board to the case

#

That ruins the whole point

still hatch
#

ahh yep

#

no bounce if i screw it in ahaha

fluid ravine
# still hatch no bounce if i screw it in ahaha

Well not necessarily, traditional gummy mount boards have half circle pcb cutouts for the o'ring to sit on the posts which allows it to give it that bounce when typing. Converting tray mount to Gummy O'ring mount is considered a friction mount, using the o'ring to friction fit the module into the case without having to screw in the standoffs to make direct contact with the PCB and case. But this also means that the pcb will be sitting on the posts or standoffs unless you're using foam that sits higher than the resting points.

steel hemlock
#

Interesting

#

Didn't know their were boards specifically made for gummy oring mounts

fluid ravine
#

Well yeah, I have explain this before but if you want that bounce you could use some foam that can push back pressure to its inital position like polyfill

steel hemlock
#

I'm just using the stock wooting foam rn

fluid ravine
#

Think of it as a pillow ofc, pushing down the pillow then it slowly pushing back up

steel hemlock
#

Time to get so Polyfill :)

fluid ravine
#

From my testing

#

Also note that wooting's foam is much denser

steel hemlock
#

Just feels bouncier or has noticeable sound diff?

fluid ravine
#

So it can remove so much more hollowness and make the board pop

steel hemlock
#

Hmmm

#

Well I'll just have to try both and see which I prefer

fluid ravine
#

I can make a sound test for you rn

steel hemlock
#

I have some Polyfill somewhere

fluid ravine
#

Just to compare, although i dont have the best switches

steel hemlock
#

Appreciated but it's ok :)

#

Won't need to buy anything new so

#

Worth AND fun to try and compare

#

I got the hang of putting the board in and out since I first gummy mounted it so
