hello?

#

???

#

Is the PE Foam mod safe on the wooting 60he+

steel hemlock
#

I wouldn’t see why not, it’s case by case specific so if the main board was defective it should be repaired by them still.

#

But if you break it, that’s on you.

glad iris
#

Ok thank you so much for letting me know

calm pulsar

he's all about that ultra fast actuationmm

calm pulsar
#

with jades it might have some effect, but I would only use pe foam with mx type switches

gleaming crow
#

will i have any problems with GMK keycaps with jades and stock stabs

cuz ik you can run into problems with certain keycaps

#

WHAT u didnt send me the questions @fluid ravine

gleaming crane
#

I guess while I’m here, have there been any new switches, besides jades that have changed the game, haven’t been in the loop for a while

fluid ravine
paper bloom
#

LMAO

steel hemlock
#

I don’t really care about them

paper bloom
#

@fluid ravine dude im still waiting on the NEW OPTIMUM CASE

steel hemlock
#

It seems like a better quality lekker but I’d wait for the Lekker V2’s first

paper bloom
#

Also my overlubed space bar is back at it again šŸ—æ with the slipping

gleaming crane
#

I remember hearing abt the v2s, do they sound good?

steel hemlock
#

They’re not out yet

paper bloom
#

Idk, also u can do 2 methods of switches

#

1 is entire jades apart from the space bar

#

With the l60 or a l45

#

Shld cook either way

fluid ravine
#

So it's just a neutral pitched open housing sounding HE switch

gleaming crane
#

Sounds interesting

paper bloom
#

Now im thinking about it, should i run jades or a v2

#

I could always get the v2s next month

fluid ravine
paper bloom
#

BRO THAT WAS THE IDEA

#

But i said naa

fluid ravine
#

lul

paper bloom
#

I asked cam he told me to get the v2s

#

Or wait for it

fluid ravine
#

break the chain!!!

Now im thinking if i shld just use l45 for my space bar

While the rest is jades

If you like the feel and the sound, jades are a no brainer

I'm saying that in terms of sound, the jades in my ears has a bit of chatter on the top out, it's not crazy bad but i can hear it very well in my ears

# harsh dove X-Ray Protagonist

Why are the legends on every X-Ray set printed on? Couldn’t it be double shot that includes the legend as well? I don’t get it..

harsh dove

Printed on?

That is indeed smeggsy

hey i dont know if this is the right channel to ask this question but i'm trying to build my own analog keyboard with the wooting switches and I'm having trouble finding what kind of sensor to put on my pcb (in particular what sensing range is suitable for those switches)

tawdry tree
#

Yeah haha, most X-Ray sets I’ve seen have printed on legends

harsh dove
#

This one is special

#

lol

tawdry tree
#

I think the double shot they mean is just the clear ABS and transparent no?

harsh dove
#

Maybe

fluid ravine
#

My mum said I was special dogekek

harsh dove
#

Not entirely sure but I feel like if they were printed, that would be disclaimed

#

Or at least it should be if it isn’t

I’d think so too but it def looks like it. šŸ˜‚

I’ll see if I can get some info on it

There’s still talk of a pc salvation being in the works

But I think I’d grab a redemption before that

#

Also I bought a Bauer lite @harsh dove lol

#

Probably gonna build the hmx switches into that more long term and use the salvation for my wooting rn, will still build the Mx salvation and see how she is

#

any updates or ETA on cosmos btw? when the group buy will be?
cause now im thinking im not that into all this stuff, i either buy dualshot or cosmos and for the time being just get a standard set from wooting

harsh dove
final widget
#

ahh, u think itll be worth the wait - and howlong after will we get it after then

polar girder
#

Expectations < buying them and just being excited when they show up

harsh dove
#

Yeah with Group Buys, you’ll learn to just buy it and forget about it until you get a random package in the mail and forgot you even bought it

cold bloom
#

I think the last group buy I saw involving gmk took like 6 months from the end of the group buy to end of production

steel hemlock

Which was fast for them lately lol

Even tho I make a very comfortable wage, seeing the money out of my wallet without having any sort of instant materialistic manifestation from that money makes me feel like it’s in the void

Gmk redline on the Bauer lite? @harsh dove

I saw a video with hmx switches in one and already having some in the way and 2 sets of stabs I couldn’t pass it up

175$ Canadian for the case plate pcb standoffs etc is a wild deal

fluid ravine

oh shiet

cold bloom

Everything but switches keycaps and stabs

#

Which I mostly have besides another set of keycaps lol

That match anyway

My other thought was redacted, would look good too

Go guys who knows about those switches

Do they effect LED lights on the wooting

?

The lights are fine they look a bit red

The magnets can be a little strong but they work with the wooting otherwise

I had a weird issue with my wooting this AM when I started my keyboard/PC, the bottom left row of my leds was flickering for some reason lol

#

I wasn't sure if it was the cable or brightness so I used a shorter cable and lowered brightness but it was still there, I think the usb might not have been fully seated

Actual chad gigachad

25$ shipping lmao

#

fuck it tho

#

56$ usd total

glacial wind
#

I bought 90 for the 80he. Was either these raw he or the jade v2 but I’m fine with these since all the reviews have them as very tight stem and solid sound

cold bloom

that's about the price of jades before shipping

#

might be frakenswitch time again

fluid ravine

#

jades/black jades/raw he?

#

oh wait

#

raw he doesn't fit

#

nvm

fluid ravine

I can't be too mad abt that

You honestly don’t need to frankenswitch the raw he from all the Korean reviews. They’re the tightest of any stock he switch right now already

cold bloom

true

fluid ravine
#

Yeah sound pretty good

interested to see how the semi closed bottom will sound

compared to jades

Are the RAW he the new goats?

This isn’t bad tbh , like yeah they’re higher than normal cause of shipping but still not a bad price comparatively

@cold bloom

#

$56 for 65

Shipping isn’t ideal but overall nothing to get upset about

Yeah at least it’s not $100 like me lol

xd

#

@harsh dove how many you need

harsh dove
#

90

glacial wind
#

I missed restock on swagkey knights, so I guess my 80he will just get my spare tx ap

harsh dove

I have extras

It’s alright I have to use these spare tx ap eventually anyway

I have too many extra stabs

It doesn’t help wobble and it has increased friction. You can feel it binding when pressing off center.

Nah I know they’ll just tell me it’s DHL and where I live

Is it just your address that’s the issue?

or the cause rather.

harsh dove

I think it’s my town tbh

#

Cause I tried even shipping to my work and same cost

tawdry tree

lol

harsh dove
# tawdry tree lol

It’s just odd cause I’ve seen the +$30 charge from DHL before for ā€œhard to reach locationā€ but they don’t always charge me extra for that. It’s like 50/50

hard to reach? is your town located in a cave or something?

about 96-97

Not bad tbh, I’ll wait for Geon to respond to tirade and see what happens tho, thank you for the offer (if you’re offering)

prime orbit
#

What bottom force

#

is the best

harsh dove
#

Force required to bottom out

#

There is no best

#

It’s whatever you prefer

prime orbit
#

...............

harsh dove
#

What

cold bloom
#

Some people like lighter switches I find I actuate them on accident so I prefer heavier

#

I went for 60 I think

#

Yeah 60g

fluid ravine
#

Honestly if I could encourage my parents (or my dad) abt it and if you pay him while i get my own set and send it out to you i would try.

prime orbit
#

60

#

hmm

#

sure

harsh dove
# prime orbit ...............

It’d be like saying I think 100g bottom out is the best, but then you buy that and absolutely hate it, then it’s not the best

prime orbit
#

does it affect performace

harsh dove
#

Almost everything in the keyboard hobby is personal preference

prime orbit
#

performance

harsh dove
#

It doesn’t affect software/firmware performance

#

But it does affect physical performance in the fact you require more force or less force to press down the switch

tawdry tree
#

PERFORMANCE

harsh dove
#

My GMK Stealth is otw

steel hemlock
#

If we’re talking purely performance

#

1g bottom out force would be the best switch ever

#

Cause like

#

It’s not tiring

#

To use

#

For your weak lil gamer hands

#

500mg

#

I want a spec of dust

#

To actuate my keyboard

#

Ok jokes aside, from my personal experience

#

35-45g actuation force is great if you actually try hard at rythme games

#

For any other uses, I find 35-45g inferior to something like 55-65g actuation

#

But that’s purely personal preference

#

Might be late to the convo or irrelevant but

#

Still felt like sharing

tawdry tree
winter panther
#

imagine having to hold your fingers up so you don't accidentaly trigger anything

tawdry tree
#

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

#

1g switches with a 0.1 actuation point

steel hemlock
#

As I said

tawdry tree
#

actually 1g switches would be activated by the keycaps, but that aside.

steel hemlock
#

I need a spec of dust to be able to actuate my key or else it’s not light enough

steel hemlock
# steel hemlock For any other uses, I find 35-45g inferior to something like 55-65g actuation

Just to add on to this, going from the Lekkers to the Jades, I definitely prefer the Jades overall but I had to make adjustments to feel comfortable with them.

My default travel distance was 0.8mm on the Lekkers and I never made any mistypes, but on the Jades I bumped it up to 0.9mm (it’s not really 0.9mm because Wootility doesn’t compensate for the shorter travel distance) and also made a seperate profile for typing that’s at 2.2mm.

harsh dove
#

Move the stems with your mind

tawdry tree
#

Holy

steel hemlock
#

Theoretically, you could invert the magnet and reprogram the board. Have the magnets push the stems slightly up

#

I know this totally wouldn’t work

#

But funny

tawdry tree

you could do a lot with that tho

#

hope someone tries at some point

#

I'm from brazil so ordering from AE is much cheaper

cold bloom
#

my keyboard LEDs were still bugging out a bit @harsh dove I wonder if it was cause I had the silicone pad and the kbdfans switch pad

#

I put the poron pad in with the switch pad and screwed the assembly together a bit better and made sure to secure the plate screws when I put the standoff screws into the back of the pcb and it seems to be gone lol

#

my usb lights were like flickering a bit but it was happening with the wooting cable, og yellow cable, and others

tawdry tree
cold bloom
#

yeah it was the only thing I could think of, I'm not really sure what was causing it

tawdry tree
#

USB lights?

cold bloom
#

it was happening with tachyon on/off or with a cable that should work fine

#

yeah

#

I was wondering if maybe the silicone with another small pad under it maybe made the distance a bit too inconsistent

#

so some were actuating slightly and the lights were flickering

calm pulsar
#

anyone has Black Jades specs at hand? can't see on backspace and AE

tawdry tree
cold bloom
tawdry tree
#

Oh I see, yeah then that could be the cause.

cold bloom
#

it's completely gone now, if I unplug/plug it back in it doesn't come back randomly like it was before

#

I think if Im using the switch pad I need the poron foam so that it can compress a touch and fit together properly

#

and it was just barely flickering the lights on like they do if I press the switch just slightly even before it is to where i set the actuation the light comes on faintly

#

so I think that's what it was

cold bloom
#

Slightly heavier

A bit lol but it’s usually like 5-10 gf difference from what I’ve seen

I'm trying to figure that out @harsh dove

#

is it cause it's mp4?

What file are you using

Uh nah shouldn’t be

cold bloom
#

what other file types can I try

#

let me see if mp3 works

tawdry tree

#

oh only audio

#

hmm

tawdry tree

It’s an iOS issue rather than a phone issue in general.

does this work?

@harsh dove

does the webM one work? @tawdry tree

Not for anyone that’s using iOS.

that's so weird

it also shows the mp4 ones as 0 seconds on my iPhone

The first one I did

cold bloom
#

there's only 1 I can see a thumbnail on mobile and that's the one I sent as mp4 from my PC

but idk why it sent as webM

tawdry tree
#

Weird

#

its named .mp4.webm šŸ˜‚

#

there.

cold bloom
#

I output this one as mp4 from obs

#

let's see if it works

tawdry tree
#

works.

cold bloom
#

Yup

#

Nice

cold bloom
#

sorry for the spam

harsh dove
#

Yes my plate matches my GMK Olivia

calm pulsar
#

I take it salv requires a custom plate for wooting as well?

harsh dove
#

This isn’t wooting

#

And no it doesn’t

calm pulsar
#

oh so it just mounts on the pcb?

harsh dove
#

Ah okay yeah you can use any wooting compatible plate

harsh dove
#

Basically modified tray mount

#

Leaf springs

cold bloom
#

yeah it just uses the top 2 screws that the wooting stock case uses

#

any 60% with the top left usb will fit really

calm pulsar
#

thats nice

valid lily
harsh dove
# valid lily So what switches should I get

Well it depends on what you like, the Gateron Jades are pretty popular as well as their variants, but those are all closed bottom reduced travel switches and you may not like the feel or sound of those. As far as open bottom 4mm travel switches, Stem Swapped Raptors are pretty popular as well as Black Knights, I can’t think of any open bottom switches that have good stem tolerances though unless someone can chime in and share

#

And there’s also Lekker V2’s coming out soon which will likely be the best open bottom switches in terms of tolerances

cold bloom
#

Raw he might be a contender for easiest to recommend if they sound good and shipping improves over time

#

For the price they’re at

harsh dove
#

Yeah some people don’t like closed bottom tho and yeah I didn’t recommend them because of shipping for most people and also time of arrival, you can get jades right away, Raw HE you might have to wait a bit

#

I look forward to getting my hands on some

cold bloom
#

Some kinda plate less hot swap contraption being worked on

#

Interesting

harsh dove
#

Those switch holders could be interesting for a ā€œplate lessā€ HE build but idk how well that’d work or how annoying those would be to deal with

cold bloom
#

Agreed someone just shared in geon discord apparently something he’s working on with tx

#

Not sure if it’s strictly for he or just for general plateless but it looks interesting but annoying I agree lol

#

It’s also interesting how the raw he bottom of the switch is so flat, I know the jades are closed but there’s like a stem that sticks out of the bottom a touch still

#

Wonder how that will translate into the sound differences

harsh dove
#

Nah I’m pretty sure they’re the same flatness

cold bloom
#

oh shoot you're right

#

idk why I was thinking they stuck out a bit

tawdry tree
# cold bloom

at this point making switch bottom housings with screws (from below) instead of mounting pins would be sane to do lmao

tawdry tree
# cold bloom

I kinda think this is just for a testing? Rather than for actual PCBs at some point.

harsh dove
#

Yeah I think it’s just for testing as well

#

Based on the words on the PCB itself

#

Literally says stab tester with switch holder

#

If anything they just make 5 pin HE for plateless but then we’d need new PCBs

tawdry tree
#

yeah

#

I think they designed that so the stab tester can be used with hotswap switches easily

#

and without issue

visual sonnet
#

do i have to remove the pcb from my case to change the switches?

visual sonnet
#

alright

tawdry tree
#

You have a switch puller?

Black Knights are open bottom right?

So many fucking pictures but not a single one of the bottom

Yeah cool

tawdry tree

All listings are wrong as they state 3.6mm

they’re 4.1mm switches

most useful video I have ever seen

I now know how to break plastic tubes

calm pulsar
#

you live and you learn

polar girder
#

From hype keyboard

#

They sound diff

#

And raptors only one with nylon top

#

So I just attribute it to that

#

And that little leg on the stem being so snug it slows down the loud impact

#

Hence the friction thing sometimes experienced

#

Also this

#

Idk how scientific that is tho lol

#

But that’s for plates

untold wigeon
#

I thought aluminum was on the clacky side?

#

Typically

calm pulsar
#

yeah it sounds clackier than fr4 and plastics, at least on YT lol

#

Honestly

#

F that graph

#

Tf am I looking at

calm pulsar
#

i guess this graph tries to show that there can be hard materials that sound deeper among other hard materials

#

and in the opposite, there's plastics like abs that are kinda clacky

untold wigeon
harsh dove
#

Like part of me agrees with it

#

But overall the way it’s layed out bothers me

#

Yeah I mean I can see where they’re going with saying aluminum is deeper than brass or stainless steel

calm pulsar
#

but not that deep lol

harsh dove
#

And I would say it’s deeper than FR4 and CF because both of those give a poppier sound

uneven cradle
#

think it's just more complex then "deep" and "clacky"

calm pulsar
#

plus it still sounded way chimier to me than FR4

harsh dove
#

Cause resonance plays a role too

calm pulsar
#

stoked to try this full black fr4 and the thick ass poron sheet that covers the spacebar too

untold wigeon
#

Yeah my steel plate sounds very different than my CF plate but both are clacky in my aluminum case.

CF reminds me of Alu without the resonance

But it’s hard to get it right with HE (for me anyway)

Alu that is

im very intrigued how it's going to sound with PP plate

and feel

untold wigeon

calm pulsar
harsh dove
#

I’m a bit curious too as myself and Tirade have determined POM and PC sound the best in the frog mini

uneven cradle
#

from what I've heard (this isn't in the frog mini) "PC for me would be clacky and slightly flexier than POM.

PP would be the flexiest but does make switches sound a little bit quieter. Where it shines is the feel, it almost feels like plateless. The mods sound the best with PP"

harsh dove
harsh dove
#

I’ve never tried PP so no comment

calm pulsar
harsh dove
#

Yeah I have another Alu plate for tray mount like the tofu, alumaze, salvation etc

#

I need to try it out again as when I first got it , I didn’t like it

polar girder
harsh dove
#

But now that I’ve experimented more, I think I can cook something up

polar girder
#

But the graph doesn’t show that lol

polar girder
#

lol

calm pulsar
#

I still have this idea of ordering a black alu from AE and just drilling standoff holes, but for now waiting for FR4 and CF (that are made specifically for wooting, so no drilling required)

polar girder
#

CF clacks too right?

#

Nylon pretty similar to PP?

harsh dove
calm pulsar
# polar girder CF clacks too right?

yeah but its still a bit darker than metal plates, it kinda mutes super bright frequencies, you can check @untold wigeon video he sent a couple of minutes ago

harsh dove
#

I think the biggest thing with Alu, and I could be wrong, but it’s trying to capture its sound, I feel like if the case/build overall doesn’t capture it right, it just sounds bad

#

And I feel like it just kinda leaks out

#

If that makes sense

Oh yeah lemme go peep Dave’s sound test

But at $50 a plate I might hold off lol

untold wigeon

#

From Hype?

polar girder
#

Yeah

#

With shipping

#

Well I guess if I ordered multiple at a time I save a little

Wait so they’re not $50 each

But CF cancels that out lol

untold wigeon

Oh okay but do you typically type there or just work on keyboard stuff there?

Like is your setup at that table?

No I just do my modding there. It’s a comfy well lit place. My dining room table. My setup is in my gaming room

harsh dove
#

Ah okay , makes sense. Main reason I ask is cause I feel like your board sounds good, just the table not doing it justice

It’s not.

Don’t worry my desk doesn’t do mine justice either

I’ll have to do what someone else suggested and use my PC microphone at my desk to record a proper recording of it.

I have all the mx stuff coming for the salvation build but I think I'm gonna leave it as is and put my hmx switches in my bauer lite when I get that later in the week

harsh dove
#

Shure MV7X

#

Some of my friends said I sound like a YouTuber/podcaster with my mic (vocally) cause I fine tuned it recently but then I hear my own keyboard sound test and I’m like, this sounds like shit lmao

#

(It’s not tuned for recording keyboards very well and it’s not the proper mic for it either)

calm pulsar
#

black snail has one of those nicer boxes, its sturdier than some other gmk packaging
every key even has a little notch to hold on to

cold bloom
#

it's hard to have it tuned with a proper noise gate and gain for vocals and then use it to record a keyboard lol

harsh dove
#

Literally

#

And unless I’m just inexperienced, I can’t find a way to remove the mic/monitor buzz without also losing the sound on the keyboard

harsh dove
#

Cause just slapping noise suppression on doesn’t fix anything and is a lazy fix

cold bloom
#

my fan gets a bit annoying too

#

exactly

harsh dove
#

Yeah cause for vocals I can cut it out no problem

#

But for the keyboard

#

Good luck

calm pulsar
cold bloom
#

I have the same experience lol I guess it's just how it is with condenser mics

#

whenever you try to pick something up that isn't a clear, vocal source above the noise floor quite a bit it just struggles
