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

uneven cradle
#

not at all it's just for aesthetic

calm pulsar
#

absolutely necessary, or else the keyboard won't work with those keycaps

#

I need someone to justify my decision idk if purple would look bad though

maybe a darker purple to match the keycaps but yeah

ill never understand the obsession with drywall in murica

stray tiger
austere creek
#

i just dont feel right in those

#

if i punch a wall i want my hand to break not the wall

harsh dove

But it’s easier to fix the wall than your hand

stray tiger
#

And cheaper lol

harsh dove
#

And cheap-

#

Yeah

#

What he said

i mean... the hospital will do it for free

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

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

@thorny jetty though with 80he module you buy v2s

yea im aware I just wish I could know more about the improvements on the lekkers before I ordered them

Less woble because of better tolerances

Improved stem tolerance: less chatter in a HE switch

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

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

cold bloom

old firmware

harsh dove

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

this is old firmware

Yeah they do it around 2.75mm on old

updating now

and it'll be 3.25mm on 2.8.1

black jades

and unplugged it first

it also spams at the bottom out on 2.8.1

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

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.

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

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

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

fluid ravine
# real meadow whys that? i’ve always heard a lot of difference from the tape mod

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.

calm pulsar
calm pulsar
# trim parrot It's compatible?

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

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?

cold bloom
#

smh thackson

calm pulsar
#

but since youre taking springs from lekkers then yeah better lube them before installing into jades

cold bloom
#

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

glacial wind
#

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)

cold bloom
#

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

glacial wind
#

unless you specifically want jades over raw he, then just get the raw he

fluid ravine
#

Like at some point I even regret lubing my RAW

cold bloom
#

I think Raw HE is my rec easily over the jades

fluid ravine
#

I should just lubed the springs at that point

cold bloom
#

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

fluid ravine
#

Yeye

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?

cold bloom
#

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

trim parrot
cold bloom
sleek tendon
#

If I'd like to use the jade switch, I need to change stabilizers to some long pole version, is this correct?blobaww

#

The fr4 plate also comes with a switch pad that I find helps the wooting sound @trim parrot

trim parrot
cold bloom
trim parrot
trim parrot
cold bloom
#

doesn't for me, as long as I use the standoffs it doesn't change the switch height

#

I screw them in tightly too

trim parrot
#

In the Tofu60 Redux?

cold bloom
#

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

@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?

then you screw that whole assembly into the case like a tofu redux or alumaze or stock case

#

with the case standoffs

not the PC plate

just tighter tolerances
