Just make sure for the integrated part, you plan for future upgrades/changes
you guys making me lust after more cases 😩
yes good call
Whoever posted that 50% sale. Thank you. Had to grab GMK Electric. Been eyeing them for a while. Ofc NorDeUK was sold out tho
he built these really cool floating stairs at his new house back home with big pieces of wood and a metal railing and wiring etc I'll have to send a photo next time I'm home
Yeah definitely show us
ikr
I might want to do this some time if I ever get really bored and want to drill in to the useless PSD60 Gasket case I bought. 
LOL good idea
This is from the top
Waiting for a better photo lol
My moms not the best photog 🤣
@harsh dove
my dad did all the wood work on the railings and steps and all the metal work on the frame etc
Hahah nah they look good though, that’s real nice
ty! my dad would appreciate that haha
yeah I miss it a lot
right on the water
its fking beautiful
rigth on the water? 👀
Context clues
Guy i think his house is on the water :D
Huh whats going on in the general vc
JFKDSKFSJ;ADL
1.5 acres too

oh my god
WOAAAAAA
this is beautiful
I miss it so much man

Maritimes are the best part of Canada (not biased)
does anyone what this artisan is called?
doesnt it say on the left?
sorry on the right
colevrak
That’s how much I have rn
thanks
minigolf with the mods
Darn i missed out then
Damn i would've destroyed yall lowkey (I SUCK AT GOLF)
if u lost at golf. we would have timed you out for 1 minut.
this is do or die
IRL golf when
I'm a 7.5 hdcp rn lol but my last few rounds have been rough
can we exchange hdcp for airmiles?
Wait what if you lost? :D
sure
this higround keyboard has some cool keycaps that is dropping soon
kinda reminds me of radianite crisis/borderlands

I really fk with the overall design
hopefully they also start making 60% keycaps
great point
Glorious did it better
lol I don't love glorious myself
but they did do a good job
Screw high ground but this is cool
LMAO I agree, I mod for nadeshot so I follow them but I much prefer wooting
their pokemon collab was kinda dope tho
damn if only it didnt have the branding on it
also a fair point
Oh I got some better stair photos lol
All I can think of when I think of Higround
4th photo is sick
spend all their budget on licensing and marketing not enough on quality products
yeah that's the view I was trying to find earlier
What am I doing
but i dont wanna :<
LMAO
Ur stairs are pretty cool
my brain too big
can't handle this much learning
now i can see the pain of people editing their videos
this is hard as shit
my dads but thanks!
You’re welcome so how necessary is it for me to get coiled cable to match my new keycaps? I was thinking either blue or purple. The key caps are blue and red
GMk zen pond
not necessary at all but up to you
not at all it's just for aesthetic
absolutely necessary, or else the keyboard won't work with those keycaps
See that’s the answer I was looking for good shit
I need someone to justify my decision idk if purple would look bad though
Looks similar to my stairs lol
Nice!
Yeah might have to look past wooting offerings I’m pretty sure the purple is light
I think so, but could still work cause of the legends/sublegends being brighter
Haha close but not close enough.
Oh that is close
yeah similar style
He’s next door
is it metal on the sides where the wood slots in?
Yeah that’s fair the red is bright
And so is the white
yes
everyone showing of their paper models of houses
makes sense, I think my dad cut the wood ends of the steps to slot into the wood sidings, it was cool to see
I purposely didnt show the office mess lol
paper is so true
ill never understand the obsession with drywall in murica
Price is the obsession. Its the cheapest material
i just dont feel right in those
if i punch a wall i want my hand to break not the wall
But it’s easier to fix the wall than your hand
And cheaper lol
i mean... the hospital will do it for free
Hmm
pssh free healthcare
i mean he got a good point
but which heals faster?
knew a guy at uni who broke his hand punching walls twice in 1 year, that's gotta be a record
no but having grown up in brick layed houses or post ww2 apartments in concrete blocks... i just cant imagine living in a paper house
like i never needed to find a stud
i just drill in the wall
and it holds
There are a ton of disadvantages to drywall, especially thermal, but yeah its cheap and easy to repair
Yeah basically
We're cheap!
And you can pop up a paper house in like 48 hrs
that wouldnt happen in murica cause its not drywall
You are the stud Tony


lol no i already cry when my cat claws me

let em cook
Damn I was gonna say hang yourself on the wall but that don’t sound right

I keep Tony’s hung on my drywall
i am impressed with american parking lots though (or texan ones)
Really?
hm? why
can fit multiple apartment building from europe on there and still park everyone who lives in those building and erveryone who wants to shop at walmart on the remaining space
ohhh haha
In other words our parking lots are huge
no humongous
or well at least texas ones
same for how everything was basically the same color
concrete gray or concrete tan
Ye texas parking lots are pretty fking big
everyone would fight for the spot closest to the stores lmfao
in both cases idk how much of it is it being texas or it being the US
while like the middle or back parking space are literally open
Go to Arizona , everything is clay red or brown
lul
and greenery
The Netherlands have parking lots just for bicycles though, that's more impressive
i miss colorado
Or Montana
and california
im very much a fan of our bicycle parking lots
i fking HATE texas' humidity
even though i walk everywhere
Its the US being the US, can confirm
yup
next trip wont be the US but JP
My next trip is bed
Sounds fun
i feel like a broken record but im sort of scarred from the US food we had or well didnt have
We don’t really see any natural action and build with brick, they see a lot of natural action, sky vacuums and ground jigglers and build with cardboard. Cheapening out wouldn’t be too bad?

I wanna go to JP
Seems like overkill perhaps
I hear that from foreigners all the time. Apparently we have extremely low food standards.
oh yeah fr..
I mean, its true
i mean i trust theres some restaurants somewhere non chain and hidden away that are good
High amounts of sodium and sugar but otherwise there’s some good places, also lot of bad places but just gotta find the right ones
but every restaurant we got taken too (also not chain) was shite and i even got scolded for saying that i didnt like the food at the table in the restaurant
as if i summoned satan
Lmao
Yeah theres some good places out there, but personally i prefer local locations
I need to go to like JP, KR, and back to VN for some fud
don’t forget the tip ofc
and our friend is too embarassed to go back to those places for some reason
omg dont get me started
lots of people here try to complain for free meals <.<
lol
Nah I’m with you tbh, I eat a lot of home cooked meals, and I’m not a picky eater but I don’t like 10 lbs of sodium on my food
or discount
Don't like fast food restruants tbh :/
Tips for dayz
i wish our hotel offered a kitchen or so because we would have cooked ourselves. but all we got was a microwave
pretty dookie imo
American hotels for ya , microwave (idk if they’re diff over there)
Fast food is so bad, but damn it im a college kid 
Lmao
i might as well eat cup ramen all day
fk taht
Pretty much
but not this low, medium, high bs
mmm ramen hacks
FK U AMARIICAAAAAA
Ramen slams fast food any day
its like food modding

Kebab and zapiekanka is top 1
Ramen sound test when?
fr
funnily enough we though chain restaurant wise that the bread one was the best... uh whatever its called
i forgot again
Ramen is not fast food
sluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurp
Panera bread?
panera?
Yeah Panera Bread
the best bread i had since moving to the netherlands i had in panera
Yeah it’s pretty good
Am i missing out?
Yeah their breads good
Have you tried bread in Germany?
i dont like their hotmeals though idk how they frigg them up but make good bread

Atleast you know
i dont wanna travel 16 mins to there just for some bread (jk ima need to try some if yall say so)
i wish i lived closer to the german border to get bread but i am stuck with what in germany is called american toast
I want Korean toast
tf is american toast
I know a lot of people really love olive garden bread sticks, but they arent my cup of tea 
Just get fast car break law to get fresh hot bread at 5 
i mean they aight
its the shitty bread that germans usually dont like too much and normally would be called white bread
they're edible lol
Oh just normal sandwich sliced bread, got it
@cold bloom ima need a poutine lowkey highkey
american toast is what you eat when you dont have money or dont have teeth
I want korean fried chicken >:V
otherwise you get a nice german bread from a bakery
It's not toasted though 😢
I wouldnt even touch American food. Propably i would die from what illegal ingridients
I WANT KOREAN CORNDOG (theres a place near me that sells them, i can walk there rn xd)
Ah
LUCKY
Lmao
Beans and toast
its just 99% air
I HAVE A RAMEN SHOP I CAN WALK TO ITS EVEN CLOSER HEHEHEHE
literally 1.5 mil
or less
Super processed bread
i can run that shit like nothing
yall better be putting bread in your keyboards cause this is #🔧│keyboard_modding 
Processed with bleach
yeah it tastes like the thing it comes in
the only thing I have good near me is a cheap cornerstore ;-;
plasticy
What was your favorite thing you saw visiting the merica of freedom? 
oh i will alright
@austere creek wait u live too far to border
near rotterdam
bread bread bread bread
Explains the microplastics situation
I LOVE MICROPLASTICS!
Maybe try baking bread
To be fair the irish bread like that is better, taller loaves and has like an almost burnt top (not actually burnt)
hm.... prob that everyone was like youre from europe? im partly european myself. its really great there and then proceeding to talk out their but not knowing anything about europe
entertainment for free
and doesnt even need a tv
kk sending some rn
YESSSSSSSS
oh and also the rip off that those church people do
i got asked if i wanna donate to children in need
the lowest donation tier was 165usd
um didnt even know this was a channel
I fkn love poutine
with the cheese curds that squeek
That's scam
that's how you know they're good
WHO DOESNT, I HAVENT EVEN TRIED THEM BEFORE AND IM CRAVING SUMMMMMMM

omg you have to try it
go to Montreal sometime lol
yeah idk i never said im in a hurry and need to go to my car , while not going to the parking lot, faster before
Get me some when you go out 
Europe is one country I think according to Americans
HUH??? Any donation is a donation, why is it a fixed starting price? 💀
Well america is third world country and you are from 1st world country called europe so you got money
Sounds accurate tbh
na they knew it was multiple but their geographical knowledge was eh and they talked about it as if they only ever saw it in movies/books
Thats just muricans
to be clear not faulting any american for this
tbf a lot of Americans don't have a passport, you can go to almost any type of vacation without leaving the US then they have territories
They saw it on TikTok

given that the US is basically its own EU sized country
Bro i know all states, most countries on planet and i was fucking shitty in geography
yeah it's giant
this chat making me hungry i swear
the mercator effect makes countries further north look larger too on our maps
and stuff
real
Google zapiekanka
so the US is often underestimated in size
We only know where Texas, California and New York are

Bye tony!!!
Man it is easy to know where state are. Because x state is in north and have state near it

Where tf is that
Yes just like it's easy for me to know where every European country is and you probably don't 

Us is basicly shitty runned europe
Like I totally haven't been there like 1 or 2 times, like i probably dont even live there!!!
You know where the UK is and Russia maybe 😂
I could spot every of them in 30s
My dumbass not knowing colorado was like above texas, then thinking abt it my flight was like 2 hrs
Fair but most probably can't 😂
Mate i'am fucking Polish
Do you think i do not know where enemies are
Atleast they are removing visa free enter to europe in 2025
So no more crazy Americans that think they are european

does anyone know when info on the lekker v2's are releasing? Im ready to pull the plug an order my 80he module but Im curious on how the lekkers would perform. I definitely dont want to miss out on the 50% deal that they offer, but I also dont want to purchase two sets of switches
Propably when 80he will be shipped
@thorny jetty though with 80he module you buy v2s
It says on website
yea im aware I just wish I could know more about the improvements on the lekkers before I ordered them
thank you though
stem less wobble 
The improvement from the v2 comparing to the v1 is just the stem tolerance
Less woble because of better tolerances
ahh okay thank you
I sure hope so, its quite bad on V1.0
Improved stem tolerance: less chatter in a HE switch
even the housing wobbles alot.
although I think V1.5 fixed that
but not a big enough difference to justify new switches
V2 might just do it for me
Jades and Raw He switches are much improved, but the lekkers are a lot cheaper especially with 50% off
yea for sure
my only issue with them is the reduced travel distance
cauz it messes with my DKS bindings for my CAD and IDE programs lol
(yes I unironically use DKS to get work done)
You take proper advantage of DKS, that’s more than most. 💯
You can always combine some switches 🙄
I'm not fond of spending 2x the money for frakenswitches
Fair, it can be less than a dollor a switch though, depending on how much goes into shipping. 😂
Lmao
Also the slight differences in tooling and machining of the injection molds can have some unwanted effects, especially if they come from different manufacturers.
For stem swapped raptors, definitely. Out of 210 monochromes not one is off but all components are from the same manufacturer so that could explain it.
Yeah.
cam mic test - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjEIpHcge2M
First drop in o-ring board and I'm super impressed, this one might hang around long than I thought.
Built by the homie @Ladisdad go check his youtube/twitch/discord/ build service allat
Keyboard : Alchemy Al.6
Plate: Aluminum
Mounting - drop in o-ring
Foam/Dampening: none
Keycaps:...
😭
why doesnt woot support centered usb port rip
so many good cases
Well, then that means maintaining 2 different SKUs of the same product, which is $$$$$$
It sort of does, unless that’s w/o daughter board.
Well maybe not $$$$$$, but $$$$
Oh someone designed a custom FPC to convert the side USB port PCBs to center?
so I can connect the daughterboard to the usb port on wooting? I think it would require an adapter of sorts
No but you can solder a wire onto the pads on the pcb
and desolder the usb port itself if necessary
oh I see, although I think a custom designed FPC is possible here.
FPCs are pretty cheap on JLCPCB
but yeah, microsoldering is out of reach for most people here
dang I need to look into this
oh I see, thats not that bad
those are just normal VIAS tho right?
nothing crazy about them?
it’s still tedious after but I would think a repair shop can do that for you if you can’t or don’t want to
I think so
tony talked about it
a while ago
he explain it better than i can lol
bakeneko60 wooting xd
though there are more interesting cases if you go that far
I don’t think anyone tried yet, or at least I haven’t seen anyone
a boardview or a gerber of the pcb would be nice to have. but obviously we will never have access to those. so we can only see what is physically visible on the PCB.
When do yall think I can buy a custom face plate for my monitor bezel to change the color?
I don’t think they’d share that but I’m sure they’ll help if you want to try
unless I am insane enough to crack out the multimeter and Oscilloscope and RE the PCB. but I have no time for that.
Looks like it
Okay maybe not ask quiet on video but quiet compared to the builds I usually make lol
@polar girder
I think thats quiet
Spacebar sounded weird at first so I hit it more than usual lol
Lavenders
o
Alu plate and foam


Do you know when this is for sale
Whenever Cosmos goes live
idk why people bother adding intrusive watermarks when it ruins clarity for people looking and is silly easy to remove 
Oh I thought there was a date
SPRINGS
Aye nice
Updated IC soon
What weight?
Heavier than his mouse
35g
Hah!
Facts

Bro if I’m gonna get these black on grey keycaps I might as well get the grey nylon plate
what type of chinese replica zeromouse is that? lol
More like what kind of chinese knockoff is zero mouse
none, Ali made it himself lol
Truuu
what else do you think he did?
Prob don’t need another plastic plate TBH
Idk idc you’re the one talking about zeromouse lol
yeah, what is that on your desk lol
Cop black aluminum plate and call it good
link?
It’s a PMM print of dathper mod mouse
It’s not in production any more
oh
SA-P Standard keycap sets are molded in PBT plastic and offer the best option for complete keyboard customization with 32 different kit options and 10 different color choices. SA-P keys are identical in size and function to traditional SA keys that are molded in ABS. SA-P keys have a light matte surface texture compared to traditional SA keys th...
I feel like you need Black POM, Black Alu, or Black Nylon or CF to see what you really like lol but I'm not gonna tell you to buy that many plates
What about Wooting's own PC plate?
Thinking of using that for my build
That fine too but I think he wanted something else
I mean fk that was my original thought
You’re not wrong
I’ve had two and gave them away lol
It’s solid
Just doesn’t work for current case
I'd go with the safer option of POM, PP, or Nylon , you might not like CF or Alu
Whatever you think you'll like most, get first
Yeah
PP?
that's a better acronym lol
I think I’ll get Alu next cuz this limited GB for black ano alu custom plate
From who?
Could also get CF from same guy or Tom idk
Oh okay
Hopperbus turned me on to it
I had just bought all my tadpoles from them so I was familiar lol
Yeah go ahead 
I’d actually want this
Y’all know what the biggest diff is with the polar65, wooting 60he, and kb65he?
Yeah they can’t do that lol
The Wooting difference
✨
Thx 
Thats the difference
Gang
I love this
it's like the colour of the ascii caps I got but with just the right touch of lavendar
wym is says "Your choice of color"
mannnnn
Idk if “Lavender Gray” is in their palette wheelhouse lol
It better be
I’m down for all Lavender Gray everything tho lol
lmao
Yeah its a nice color
it would be so fun to design a keycap set
Pretty much tried to get the lighting in my room/pc to match it
the matthew encina video about designing modern materials is sick
Do you have Black Jades ? @tawdry tree
You have them installed Dave?
no
but you have some?
Wanna test like 5 of them in your board for me and share the analog monitor results?
sure
Thank you
gimme me a few
Yhea no worries
is it okay if I'm on 2.7.2?
Can you try 2.8.1 for me?
yes
then revert back if you need
Polar65 and Endgame are from the same OEM. Build quality of everything but the PCB and keycaps are better, although subjective, better stock sound too. I’m not familiar with the features on both but definitely not as many and not as optimized as on the 60HE and price difference speaks for itself. I heard the Raven68 was the better budget option though.
@harsh dove
new firmware
those keystrokes where it went from 4.0 to less than were nothing different on my end, just pressing the keys over and over
to bottom out
old firmware
Okay so it looks like they're compensating at 3.25mm on 2.8.1 and compensating at 2.75mm on 2.7.2
Can you try pressing each switch very slowly until fully bottomed out then very slowly release as well
Slower , should look something like this
like very slow
lol
and just do it for each switch , some may compensate, some may not, just trying to see if you have that issue as well with Black Jades which it seems like you do
Yeah same issue
See how the red one has a vertical line at 3.25mm and doesn't allow you to control it all the way to 4.0mm
Yeah it's inconsistent, some do , some don't
Did you reset the board before testing that?
no
Reset it first
wouldn't flashing the firmware be the same thing?
new firmware
black jades
and unplugged it first
it also spams at the bottom out on 2.8.1
Okay last thing, try resetting the board again, hold down the switch at first for like 3 seconds then slowly release
Yeah I got the same thing
Hmm okay well I'm obviously not going to have you test all 70 lol but good to know you get the same issue, thank you for taking the time to do that
no problem
Thank you!
Hey guys
Wanted to ask what screw-in stabs fit on the 60HE+?
Nothing too expensive but nothing too cheap either
Any suggestions or recommendations are gladly appreciated!
doesn't really have recommendations apart from that the stock stabs are decent
if you can find them in stock I think most people like these https://swagkeys.com/products/sw-knight-stabilizer
SW Knight PCB-mounted Screw-in Stabilizers - This is a screw-in stabilizer using a new silicon double shot mold. - Both the stem and housing are injection-treated. This process effectively reduces rattling sounds that are made when:1. the stem makes contact with the housing2. the wires makes contact with the stem - Thi
I don't see it
huh? it's the 2nd last message
NOTE: There are reported inconsistencies with some stabilizer models (mainly Staebies and TX AP Screw-In / Clip-In). If you wish to use these particular stabilizer products, please be advised that they may not fit perfectly or in some cases not fit all.
If you want some good stabs that aren't too pricey, I'd recommend getting cherry clip ins @trim parrot they're on the cheaper end price wise but are tried and true, you need to clip the bottoms tho but taeha and others have good videos on how to do it
That's more so a warning, not a recommendation
A recommendation would be a list or smth
don't buy steabies or tx screw-in/clip-in as they've been found in most (not all) cases to not fit
what else do you wanna know
the easiest ones to use are the stock stabs cause they're guaranteed to fit
it's hard to make a guaranteed list of what does and doesn't fit cause the tolerances of the wooting PC plate and diff stabilizers are 2 diff variables to consider
if you wanna be safe but still want aftermarket stabs, avoid those 2 brands
if you're looking for "nothing too expensive nothing too cheap" modding the stock stabs might be the safest bet, stabilizers are all similar enough, just gotta modify them to your sound preferences
After all the time of learning the element of thocc, I shall now learn the element of clack
Now.. How to clack? 
Empty
Jus empty
Slam the key

silicone
Wondering cuz ima get the module soon once I deposit some bands
what are the stock stabs in the 60HE+ (assembled, not the module)?
Screw in
are they screw-in stabs, plate-mounted or pcb-mounted?
Oh I thought they switched
are they worse than the screw-in stabs?
Only the Module comes with screw ins preinstalled.
Sadly not.
I think they just made it compatible
but the prebuilt 60HE+ is compatible with screw-in stabs?
Screw ins are far more secure. Plate mounts can rattle if they have too much wiggle room.
Correct.
what 3rd Party Screw-In Stabs do you guys use on the 60HE+?
SW Knights are popular now, and they fit.
Clayton?
any other options? seems like the SW Knights are not available locally, where I am.
gateron stabs should work since wooting based their stabs on gateron, but they are pretty much already installed lol
Cherry or Gateron screw ins. TX APs are popular too but they don’t fit well through the plate which can cause them to not function properly or not function at all.
not on the pre-built 60HE+
I assume you're talking about the Module
Yes.
plate mounts are gateron based too I think but in your case yeah its better to get screw ins
Gateron Screw-In Stabs work on the 60HE+?
Yes.
Which switches and keycaps are you planning to use?
https://my.shp.ee/NX3mFTS these keycaps, planning to build the Wooting AE86+
as for switches, someone recommended me the Geon Raw HE switches but they're not available locally yet, so to save some money and wait, I might just lube the L60 Lekker switches (I will probably regret doing this)
Yes, you will regret it but it’s a way to build experience if you haven’t lubed switches before.
I don't know whether to get a Black or White Tofu60 Redux, cause I want to emulate that AE86 Panda Trueno look (Black bottom White top)
and one of the fears is the switch and keycap interference cause of Cherry profile, and I do want the RGB to look nice as well @tawdry tree
That’s not an issue anymore really. Could you send a screenshot of the caps? I can’t access the link.
I was gonna say raw dog it
Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! MYR56.28 12%OFF | Keycap Set for Mechanical Keyboard,Initial D Theme with Hiragana and AE86 JDM Elements,125 Keys,PBT,Cherry Profile,Dye Sub
https://a.aliexpress.com/_oFXr6ec
Aliexpress link
I’d recommend to not buy stabs yet, use the plate mounts for now until you get your Raw HEs in. Then see if you encounter any issues like the space bar popping off a stab stem and if not, get regular Gateron screw ins (or SW Knights if available), if you do encounter such an issue, get the long pole version.
stab stem?
I gtg but i’m sure others will help you if you have more questions 👍
sorry, but I'm confused a bit
me sitting here with 3 stab sets that shouldnt fit lol
hopefully plate with plate-mount cutouts would fit em
Yes, if the keycap pop off the stabilizer’s stem.
how does that even work???
Same but cut my stab holes wider lol
ig if the stab stem is too short compared to the switch stem
yeah I'm still confused on this
#🔧│keyboard_modding message (a fantastic picture below that)
Both Jades and Raw HEs have a shorter travel distance so you can read Jades as Raw HEs in that explanation.
@harsh dove embrace the shine they said
alr gtg 👋
but according to this, stick to stock stabs (relube) and stock L60 Lekkers (relube) until I get the Geon Raw HE switches.
Once I install the Geon Raw HE switches, if the plate-mounted stabs are compatible or have no issues, then get the Gateron Screw-In stabs.
If there are issues with the stock stabs, get long pole version of the Geon Raw HE switches/screw-in stabs???
same in both I believe, gateron makes them iirc
Cya
60HE+ comes with screw in pcb stabs
made by gateron
Literally wondering how my other keys are shining other than wasd
dafuq
HOWS MY Q NOT SHINING
the most shiny key on my pbtfans abs set is my T key @fluid ravine
LOL
I think from spraying in valorant
but hitting it on the side
I spam spray so much
what keycaps are those
GMK 80082
gmk 8008
Idk how you did that, that quickly
80082*
so... if the switch pole is shorter than the stock stabs in the 60HE+, get the long pole version of the Geon Raw HE switches?
IDFK 
I HAVE 3 FANS IN THE HOUSEEEEEEE
Maybe i'm just not a gamer like that
never seen shine on lighter gmk keycaps
I like it less than shine on my wob, black snail xd
im tripping cus of the lighting xd
ya it's hard to show here
the only key that still has texture is my z key
it's time go buddy
my hands are sweating thinkin abt it

your symbiote shine yet?
the shine on the T is kinda just below the T legend @fluid ravine
anyone have any ideas for the most dazzling keycaps for a black body wooting 80he? I was addicted to the look of the original pbtfans neon but those are long gone. looking for alternatives!
so far this is my plan to make my Wooting AE86+
- Tofu60 Redux (unsure if I should get the brass weight or DIY some foam to slot into the brass weight slot)
- Initial D cherry-profile keycaps
- unsure if I should stick to the stock steel plate or get KBDfans FR4 plate/Wooting PC plate
- re-lube the L60 Lekkers
- re-lube the stock stabilisers
- O-Ring Burger Mount mod
- 3-5 layers of tape mod
@calm pulsar @tawdry tree
that's all the mods I'm gonna do to my 60HE+
it's so much easier to see IRL lmao
I forgot how sick those sparkles look
PBTfans vior >>>
Like just bring it up to the light
don't think I missed anything else?
3-5 layers of tape mod, don't do it lol
I wouldnt do even 1 layer personally
also if you're modding it completely consider looking into different switches rather than lekkers, unless you really like how they feel
What stabilizers are the wooting using
whys that? i’ve always heard a lot of difference from the tape mod
well the Geon Raw HE switches are not available locally where I am
I like the 60g weight of the L60 Lekkers, so the 3rd Party switches I wanna go for should be 60g weight as well @calm pulsar
Ok first thing best advice in modding, when you're a beginner at modding keyboards always start something easy, cheap, and undoable. So for the tempest mod, just try one layer and go up to 3 layers (as 3 layers usually yield its max effect) and see if you like it or not, if you like it keep it, if you dont you can always just take it out.
you can change the springs btw
RAW HE switches have 60g option (totally not giving credit hehe)
yeah im also waiting for raw hes to be available on aliexpress or smth
I want the 60g spring weight, is what I meant, in the switch I choose for my Wooting mod
yeah, but they're not available at all, where I live
I checked on Aliexpress, nothing
might check gateron magnetic jades in the meantime, but raw hes are a step up judging by peoples sound tests
They're 30g spring weight tho
Iirc
you can replace the springs on jades to lekker 60g springs, that's what I meant previously
Wait really?
It's compatible?
But that would mean I'd have to re-lube the Jades, no?
well the lube doesnt go away if you just change the spring, but it is also recommended to lube the spring itself too as it can be noisy
Lekkers are made by Gateron, and the Jades are basically the same switch, but with the closed bottom, which makes for a different feeling switch
I personally like closed bottom switches more than lekkers, but you're gonna have to discover this for yourself
What mods are worth it
I see
I'll try and get Jades then, spring swap with L60 Lekker springs
sounds good, but you can also compare jades price to geon raw he with shipping, if this is available for you
Well Geon Raw HE switches are not yet available so...
they do offer dhl shipping
but I live in russia so that wont reach me lol, so waiting for aliexpress
Hmmm
We'll see
@calm pulsar so you recommend to bag lube the L60 Lekker springs, then swap the Jade springs out with the lubed L60 Lekker springs?
Other than that, re-lubing the entire Jade switches are optional?
doesn't change it lol this light is too consistent
smh thackson
jades are lubed from the factory, so you wont need to lube the rest of the switch for a while
but since youre taking springs from lekkers then yeah better lube them before installing into jades
if you're taking the time to take them apart you might wanna lube the top housing slightly, even just inside the rail or where the top of the sides of the stem hit. There's kind of a pocket at the top of where the stem slots into. I didn't lube mine when I did my L60 springs but it might help. YMMV.
like near there
I think I'm on the side of recommending lubing the springs for any HE switch lately if you have the time and are willing to give it a shot @trim parrot
i mean, just wait a couple weeks for raw he to be available locally (or get them shipped and it ends up same price anyway since raw he are cheaper base cost)
the HE switches can get a bit chattery cause of the weight of the stem and reduced spring height
Raw HE is so good stock
I might lube the springs eventually but rn they're great
very similar to my mx switches
unless you specifically want jades over raw he, then just get the raw he
Like at some point I even regret lubing my RAW
I think Raw HE is my rec easily over the jades
I should just lubed the springs at that point
they both get a similar sound profile but raw HE is so much cleaner
there's a touch of spring noise stock but it sounds natural
Alright then
You're talking about the Jades?
Hmmm, we'll see.
OK
OK
the spring noise is kinda the only issue I have with jade sound
with the springs lubed they're great
Is the stock steel plate in the 60HE+ fine to stick with?
Or is it better to swap to a different plate?
it's not bad, I prefer the kbfdans FR4 plate myself @trim parrot
it sounds great and isn't as soft as the PC plate
How does the RGB react off of it? Better or worse?
a little bit more dimmed, but not horrible
If I'd like to use the jade switch, I need to change stabilizers to some long pole version, is this correct?
The fr4 plate also comes with a switch pad that I find helps the wooting sound @trim parrot
Dimmed is not good
TofuHE86?
yeah that's fair, I don't use rgb a lot but the wooting PC plate being white helps it
I thought switch pads can mess up the Rapid Trigger?
Sticking with the steel plate it is
doesn't for me, as long as I use the standoffs it doesn't change the switch height
I screw them in tightly too
Standoffs?
In the Tofu60 Redux?
the screws between the pcb and plate I mean
not the case standoffs
they're both called standoffs
just diff uses
the 60HE comes with 8 screws that hold the plate to the PCB, so the switches stay at the same height generally compared to mx switches
if you add a switch pad underneath as long as the switches are fully pressed in and the standoffs are tight it won't affect it
which companies said they were interested on making 80he cases?
they never publicly said
Still confused
Oh wait, plate standoffs and case standoffs?
Is that whaf you mean?
@calm pulsar just asking your opinion, if I'm going for the AE86 build, should I go for the Tofu60 Redux in White or Black?
yeah so some people call case standoffs "standoffs" same for the screws between the pcb and the plate. the 60HE+ prebuilt and module both come with the PC plate installed, which has standoffs to the pcb.
then you screw that whole assembly into the case like a tofu redux or alumaze or stock case
with the case standoffs
I think white
someone here said the pre-built comes with a steel plate
not the PC plate
yep
oh shoot u may be right
module has a PC plate
both have screw in PCB mount stabilizers tho iirc
someone here said plate-mounted for the pre-built
seems like most of the case is black
do you know?
Wassup?
it's got a backlight that is kinda hard to reproduce but the case itself is mostly white
@harsh dove does the prebuilt 60HE have pcb mount stabs now?
@trim parrot wasn't sure
maybe I'll just go for the black Tofu60 Redux and use the Initial D cherry-profile keycaps that I linked in here earlier
good plan
speaking of cherry-profile keycaps, do I need to worry about interference with the L60 Lekkers/Magnetic Jades/Geon Raw HE?
the housing of the lekkers/gateron HE switches has been modified to not have issues with cherry profile keycaps when north facing
so the stock L60 Lekkers are compatible with the cherry profile keycaps?
these ones in particular https://a.aliexpress.com/_oFXr6ec
yep
so the ones in the link should fit fine then? @uneven cradle
thanks
So can i change the switches at my Wooting 60HE and still have all the features, or do i have to use the switches in the keyboard in order to have those?
You can change your switches to any compatible switch and still enjoy all the features. Compatible switches can be found here #🪛│modding_faq
I see, thanks
Hell yes, besides the deskmat lol.
Yeah… mousepad is a miss
why it looks bad?
What's your use case for the board?
gaming
i have a tactile custom board for working
W
do i need to hand lube jades?
if it comes factory lubed its personal preference
hand lubed would probably always win, but imo jades are easy to overlube past the point of dampening the sound profile that people like about the jades
personally, i wouldn't but thats 80% because im lazy LOL
Nice, I lubed my last 2 boards and it took fucking forever...
I can't be bothered to do it again
it's kind of not worth it
what’s the difference between lekker switches L45, L60, & gateron magnetic jade switches?
pls reconsider the mousepad
something that still looks nice with something blocking part of it
The mousepad is nice
i mean you do you
but that type of art is more for a background or smt
something where part of it isnt blocked
consider a pattern or a more basic design over actual drawings
Are the jades getting a v2 version too?
raven68 apparently has 0.14ms 0.4ms latency and small deadzones
and arbiter studio is the firmware provider for the raven68
same guys who made polar65
Is it just adding dual rail and the housing?
Oh ok I have some ks-20u’s coming I bought my 80 he without switches because I figured there would be something better
Dual rail doesn't do much to be honest, tighter tolerances have more influence on that
Can I email support and have them edit my order then?
You can cancel so you gotta put your order on hold and email social@wooting.io
They can't edit your order
Ok gotcha
So technically the raven and polar are better latency wise?
polar65 is a different board
im so surprised by the raven68 tho
Ye but same company right?
I just figured the latency would be the same
arbiter studios provided the firmware but not same company
Didn’t even hear about this one till now lol
Ah gotcha.
Why does everyone choose the polar then?
At least recently
wish theres an english review on youtube tho
raven68 is not popular
well
yet
and it just released
polar65 over wooting?
Yup
drunkdeer g65, atk68, endgame gear kb65he, ranked m65 he, polar65 all camed from the same OEM
they're all going to perform similar
some will be better than others tho
i think atk68 l switch is the best out of all of the ones I listed
