[jade storm]

wow

[fluid ravine]

wdym

[fluid ravine]

crazy am i right?

[prime orbit]

like 40

50

60

[calm pulsar]

jades are like 40, geon has multiple options

[prime orbit]

they for sound or?

[fluid ravine]

No feel

[prime orbit]

idk what it means

oh

[fluid ravine]

Like how heavy you push down the switch

Hence "Grams"

[jade storm]

crazy that I'm still getting Jades lol

[fluid ravine]

Like starting force (when you begin to push down the switch) 60 grams is 45g and bottom out (when releasing) force is 60g

[fluid ravine]

haha

[jade storm]

idk we'll see, depends if you sell yours

[prime orbit]

im guessing heavier is kind of the normal

[fluid ravine]

yea xd

[jade storm]

preferably with stabs and o ring

lol

[fluid ravine]

lol

[jade storm]

$120

lmk

[fluid ravine]

aight

[jade storm]

we'll talk about it later

[fluid ravine]

Wait you want like my O'ring as well?

Cus if i were to buy the module i would have to buy cherry clip ins from cannonkeys

if i sell the oring with it then i would have to buy another one with the cherry clips ins

[mighty egret]

jades r 50

iirc

[fluid ravine]

yea yea about 50 granms

i think -+6?

i forgot

wait no no

30 +-7g

inital force

[safe rover]

light jeez

[fluid ravine]

idk about the bottom out, i think bottom out is about 50

[mighty egret]

that's initial

[jade storm]

yes

[mighty egret]

the bottom out is only visible on the milktooth website

its 50g iirc

[jade storm]

delete this and talk to me in DM

trust

[prime orbit]

lol

[fluid ravine]

alr lol

[calm pulsar]

bro handing out corporate secrets

[fluid ravine]

[mighty egret]

aagh idk if i get geon raw he

[calm pulsar]

I think geon raw he achieve the goal of jades better - the feel of MX type of switch

jades aint bad, just raws are slightly better (but I havent tried them personally yet)

[mighty egret]

ugh which one is which here https://youtube.com/shorts/lb2JngsVMjE?si=hk7v93zc4scUOmDS

[calm pulsar]

holy this board is loud lol

nasty sound

but I think raws are on the top here

ohh lekkers are on the bottom, that's why its so easy to distinguish lmao

you can see it visually too

[mighty egret]

video says it's ks20

[calm pulsar]

yeah ks-20 is pretty much lekkers

open bottom switch

its the white one with light springs, I have these

[mighty egret]

yeah its magnetic orange right?

[mighty egret]

i think imma go for the geon raws then

[calm pulsar]

yeah I think its the same as the orange

[safe rover]

has anyone tired these lmao

[mighty egret]

nahhh

[mighty egret]

i can't imagine it would be any fun to use

[calm pulsar]

lmao

[mighty egret]

ok this is promising

i think imma wait for someone to do an 80he zinc alloy geon raw HE vs jades comparison

[fluid ravine]

Mb i couldn't do like a "review" on the switch itself

[fluid ravine]

oof damn thats gonna be a long time

[mighty egret]

yeah lmao

[calm pulsar]

"Both audio and video are recorded by my Samsung S21+" where is the camera lol

[fluid ravine]

my phone lul

[mighty egret]

i need the time to financially recover from this https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/jRgFvj

[fluid ravine]

everything from my phone

[fluid ravine]

gah damn

[mighty egret]

buying soon

[calm pulsar]

you found a camera in your closet tho

[mighty egret]

black friday ish

[fluid ravine]

i dont have a camlink

or like a video capture card or wtv

[calm pulsar]

oh rip

[fluid ravine]

yeah cam link is like $99 xd

im like fukkk no

[fluid ravine]

Ok lowkey mb i shouldve just sent you my wootstation/thread

I have both phone and mic recording

and put a lil notes below them of what i thought

We want to show something special-Wooting Yt
Whoever said this, real

like like

[fluid ravine]

Are you gonna buy the parts like one by one

[hazy flax]

anyone can tell what the keyboard and mouse are?

[mighty egret]

when they're on sale yeah

[calm pulsar]

dry ass jaderinos
I dont want to lube them cause the module arrives in beginning of august xd

[prime orbit]

ok i must be dumb

these sound like

any other seitch

switch

am i tone deaf LMAO

[untold wigeon]

Keyboard no. The mouse is a Finalmouse Ultralight X Pro Tarik

https://finalmouse.com/products/ulx-pro-series-overview

Does anyone have the Gateron Magnetic Jade Hall switches on the wooting, what is the difference compared to the stock one ?

[mighty egret]

they have better tolerances and a closed stem on the bottom

more normal bottom out feeling and sound

[untold wigeon]

is it worth upgrading, do you notice that when gaming ?

My undestanding is that they are a bit faster than the leeker ones right ?

[fluid ravine]

Experience shall teach your ears

Alr ima go to sleep gn

[prime orbit]

Idk man I’ve tried listening to all of these

They all uh

Yeah

Sound the same lol

Guess that’s good for me

[mighty egret]

L60 yes L45 no

[fluid ravine]

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and last but not least good night to everyone.

[prime orbit]

Less money I need to spend

[fluid ravine]

Indeed

Alr cya in 10-12 hrs

[cold bloom]

Under desk mount for my evo4 from Etsy came in finally

[balmy tulip]

Mouse is a ulx

[prime orbit]

Tarik one ye

[jade storm]

fire

which one is that? etsy?

here's mine, from Printables

[loud gull]

such a handsome fellah

[cold bloom]

Yes sir cadtprint I think?

It looks a bit blocked off but it sticks down a bit so I can still see/reach everything

[jade storm]

mount it further

[zinc knot]

hello! currently building my module

the standoffs are not able to be screwed into the holes

any recommendation? i’m finger tightening it and it just wont go in

nvm i got it haha

[trim parrot]

tbf, it does help with marketing and attracting customers

imagine if the Wooting team were shy, lifeless, and not wanting to be on camera to market their products, tell their updates, etc etc

I think some people and myself enjoy the photogenic-ness of the Wooting, makes me pay attention more to what they want to say or market, also gets me excited in a way

that's my 2 cents on it

[wide kindle]

hi guys

anyone using the alumaze 60 case?

i'd like to upgrade my default set up but the case is almost the same price as the whole 60he

worth it?

[marsh saffron]

my buddy has one and i get to see it in person/try it

its definitely a nice case, and worth it imo. but i still prefer the tofu redux

[wide kindle]

well yeah, 60usd sounds more reasonable

any switches/caps recommendations?

or u sticking with the defaults

[dapper ice]

yall

any good HE boards with the sonnet 75% layout yet?

[marsh saffron]

its more than that

the alumaze includes import fee/tax

the tofu redux ended up costing me basically the same price with the brass weight

actually it mightve been slightly more

[red abyss]

?

[magic venture]

neo lavenders he or gateron magnetic jades?

[jade shale]

Hey, I'm looking for more silent but creamy type switches, what are y'all recommendations? This is for wooting 60he

[halcyon rune]

@paper bloom bro i got the screw!

But i just noticed that if i use double foam i cannot plug my usb c in

😂

So if i still want to use double foam

I have to use the shorter 1 and bend the pcb

[distant trench]

good morning, does anyone have any recommendations for simple white cases for the 60he?

something like the tofu60 but with a lower typing angle/less thick would be greatly appreciated

[uneven cradle]

Like the white alumaze?

[stray tiger]

Can't sleep so leaving this here while I try to go back to sleep - https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1Gs8eeSEsA

[uneven cradle]

Box stem hall effect switch?

[distant trench]

i personally don't like the gold

[magic forge]

anyone know if cherry profile for mx switches will fit the wooting?

[uneven cradle]

Cherry profile keycaps? Yeah

[modern kelp]

Guys, maybe a stupid question, but what is the best website to order custom keycaps

[magic forge]

cherry keycaps on the 60he still stand up abit?

[uneven cradle]

Cherry are just shorter

[magic forge]

Ahhh okay i got it now

Whats wooting default?

And thank you for that diagram, new to modding and its really fun, so they say hahah

[uneven cradle]

OEM

[magic forge]

got it

[hollow tapir]

is this also an issue with the 2he?
or can i use cherry for the 2he

[magic venture]

guys lavender he switch or gateron jade for wooting?

[drowsy meteor]

Did the discount on the lekker v2’s happen already?

[loud zephyr]

you could flip a coin and be satisfied with either one, imo

[marsh saffron]

I was planning on lavenders but went with dashes as they were cheaper for me, and don't at all regret my decision

Both sound great, over video. Haven't tried lavenders in person

[serene vortex]

does anyone know if the coiled keyboard cable from glorious works seamlessly with wooting boards? (idk why it wouldnt but i just want to make sure ig)

[paper bloom]

OOF

Sorry 4 the late reply im out all day

[gleaming gorge]

Has anyone tried ceramic keycaps for gaming? Any thoughts?

[cyan zodiac]

molding on the stem are shit

and they are just w/e

[gleaming gorge]

Thanks for the feedback

[cyan zodiac]

keyboard is Think 6.5v2

it is an older board

[crimson sky]

and it already wasn't great back then

[cyan zodiac]

https://divinikey.com/products/shortcut-studio-bridge75-keyboard

[cyan zodiac]

they are worth it imo but you keyboard will work fine with stock switches

we can try to stock them

[mighty egret]

"we" being?

[cyan zodiac]

cafege

[mighty egret]

cool

if you do i'll very likely cop

[cyan zodiac]

it's geon product

[mighty egret]

idk how the switch market works but i assume there are moqs so you cant just do a single special order in

[cyan zodiac]

so not hard to get

[halcyon rune]

can we dm

[paper bloom]

Yes

[ionic breach]

how is gmk's qc and cs?

[cyan zodiac]

gmk qc was really good but now their standards have dropped

with tilted alt caps being an example

idk what cs

[tawdry tree]

A switch with upstroke dampeners, it’s been talked about on twit a lot, maybe a promising switch

[ionic breach]

how bad issit?

[cyan zodiac]

tilted keycaps is the more major problems

ofc there is the once in a while missing key

or dupe key

[ionic breach]

issit often?

[cyan zodiac]

the tilted was on some sets

but for those effect sets

it was basically all

so you had to wait for vendor to send out replace alt keys

i.e gmk botantical r2

[ionic breach]

alr tks

[polar girder]

Love that

[untold wigeon]

Slowing the upstroke makes no sense to me. Seems it would muddy up the typing experience

[tawdry tree]

Slowing?

[untold wigeon]

Isn’t that what dampening would do? Typical you dampen something by slowing it or impeding it.

Or I’m probably totally off base

[tawdry tree]

It’s just a little silicone thingy at the side of the stem. That hits the top housing when the key is released.

[untold wigeon]

Ok. Does that mess with actuation?

[tawdry tree]

Dampened bottom out can be mushy but upstroke not so much.

[tawdry tree]

It shouldn’t, it’s really thin

[untold wigeon]

Would be curious to see considering keeb can measure stroke by .01mm

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, I mean essentially when the key is released, the spring is pushing the stem against the top housing so I don’t think it’d mess with anything

You can change the bottom of the stem too

to different materials but really not sure what an impact that’d have if at all.

😅

[untold wigeon]

My thought was at rest would the switch think it’s actuated since the damper is taking up space.

[cyan zodiac]

the new silient switches don't use the silicone damping

[tawdry tree]

Nah, it calibrates at resting positions so that shouldn’t happen.

[tawdry tree]

You’re talking about those regular mechanical switches?

With a spring stem sorta

[cyan zodiac]

yes

ig he switches could use the same thing

[tawdry tree]

For top out definitely

but for bottom out it’s more mushy than silicone right?

[tawdry tree]

Yeah

[cyan zodiac]

no, silicone is one the old silent swiches

but newer switches use leaf spring

like that image in the pic

[tawdry tree]

Hmm

[cyan zodiac]

they do the same thing but remove the mushiness

it is amazing

[tawdry tree]

Thought I saw a review of those and the guy preferred silicone over that

[cyan zodiac]

so they like mushy silent ?

[tawdry tree]

nah, I might be misremembering

it was a while ago anyway

[cyan zodiac]

trust give the new silent switches ago

ik it not HE

but for you mx folks

[cyan zodiac]

geon silent tactiles

[tawdry tree]

I wanna see a HE switch with that

Black Knight’s stem but with those spring leafs

[polar girder]

Neat concept

[tawdry tree]

It’s something interesting

[harsh dove]

Can I get Rappy Snappy on this?

[tawdry tree]

wtf even is that

[polar girder]

lol

Da fuq

[lament grotto]

i mean.. I can probably rappy snappy that in half but thats probably not what you wanted o.o

https://tenor.com/view/karate-smile-roll-audition-fail-gif-5356376

ET LEARN WORDS~

oh wait thats not ET just a robot at 6:48

ITS AI. EVERYONE RUN~

jk

the only thing articifial here is my own intelligence T_T

[tawdry tree]

I got it, it looks like et lmao

[lament grotto]

❤️

[stray tiger]

It's like a speak and spell lol

[sharp dagger]

yo I have a 60he. mod tap is enabled on these keys so I can have arrow keys. This means that if i tap it once it's a arrow key, whereas if i hold it its the normal key. and thats great, I want it to behave that way for whenever i dont need to hold down the arrow key. However at work I do a lot of things where holding down arrow keys for a while will increase my productivity. I imagine I am not the first person to come across this situation, whats the best fix? I'd like some way to like toggle some mode where i can switch what holding down does. or something like that idk lmk what u guys do for this

[serene vortex]

is a dampening mat any different to just having the keyboard on a mouse pad, or is it the exact same?

[tawdry tree]

I have dedicated arrow keys bound to the keys you have MT on, it’s a great solution if you don’t use R-Shift in regular use. If you do use R-Shift, MT is the best you’re gonna get sadly.

(I have Fn where you have R-Alt)

[tawdry tree]

I’d think material and thickness make most of the difference, so presumably yeah.

[serene vortex]

aight thanks :D

[cold bloom]

Setup looks so clean without the xlr cables and interface on the desk

[humble sky]

Super clean man. Very impressive set up

[sharp dagger]

yo good call thanks

[harsh dove]

2nd Luxe Mat arrives today

[remote cairn]

What screen bar light is it?

[remote cairn]

Bro, you’re gonna poor in a sec if you continue ordering these

[cold bloom]

benq!

[remote cairn]

Ooch

[normal schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/money-make-it-rain-rain-guap-dollar-gif-7391084

[cold bloom]

it works so well, and for someone who reads/writes at my desk a lot I love it

I also hate overhead lights so I've had this for a while lol

[remote cairn]

I’d like to get one but for the price, it’s half a new screen

[marsh saffron]

???????

Dawg

[remote cairn]

So that’s how much being a moderator pays

[remote cairn]

This one is $100 and the wireless version with a command in $160

[marsh saffron]

This is cad pricing

[remote cairn]

Oh okay, makes sense then

[harsh dove]

I need every color way plus he’s making keeb sized ones now too

[remote cairn]

U get it with this but doesn’t really makes sense to me cuz you set it up once then you don’t need to change anything

[harsh dove]

Look how cute

[remote cairn]

Where did you get it, I only see standard and large

[remote cairn]

Aren’t you holding it the other way around, isn’t it supposed to be a W instead of an m

[harsh dove]

Yeah it’s upside down

[elfin garnet]

I like the small ones, just wished they chose a different color for the accent lol

[harsh dove]

The keeb sizes will drop once the orders for the big ones are done

[harsh dove]

Well each color has a different colored accent

[remote cairn]

And what about this small one?

[harsh dove]

That’s just a preview of one of them

[tame fox]

Does anyone know whether there are HE60+ compatible metal keycaps available somewhere?

[harsh dove]

Awekeys afaik

[tame fox]

thx!

[uneven cradle]

And they sound terrible

Also silly expensive

[harsh dove]

Yeah personally not a fan

[remote cairn]

Is it one of their preview or you have access to getting them in advance?

[elfin garnet]

yup but the black one is most tempting

[harsh dove]

One of their preview, but I probably could if I talked to Randall lol, he got me my grey one (2nd mat) in advance

[old swallow]

nice coaster

[remote cairn]

That’s nice of him

[harsh dove]

Yeah he’s real cool

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah fair lol

[polar girder]

Oh you got the old obsolete logo. Looks like you’ll have to get all new pads with the updated coiled cable logo. SHAME

[harsh dove]

Nah these are rare now

Stonks 📈

[polar girder]

lol

Love to see it

[harsh dove]

Haha right

[sudden nova]

Hello guys, i am pretty new to modding and i do not know where to shop for items.
Any suggestion?

[cold bloom]

yeah it's not cheap but I've used it daily for like 5+ years now and it's still works great, no issues with lights dimming or burning out etc

I don't have the one with the control puck I just have the original one

I think there are some cheaper alternative ones similar now but I've always trusted benq and their quality

[remote cairn]

Yeah, I saw $40 alternatives

[cold bloom]

this is kinda why i like the benq the most

but idk if the newer ones are better with it

[remote cairn]

If I use it's gonna be mostly for my screen because I play games all night

So it would be good for my eyes to have one

[elfin garnet]

Wouldn't an ambient light behind the monitor be better for that?

[cold bloom]

you should just turn up brightness and/or use a light behind ur screen then

[remote cairn]

if I turn up the brightness of my screen I'm gonna kill my eyes, it's not good to do that, especially when gaming all night long in a pitch black room

[cold bloom]

I just mean instead of shining a light on the screen, that won't help you see better

if anything a better light for behind your monitor or near your desk would help then you can maybe lower the monitor brightness even a bit

I find using a dim light at night that isn't over head so I can see my desk and monitor without glare on the monitor itself helps

[remote cairn]

it's not about seeing better but not damaging my eyes

[cold bloom]

I know, I just mean shining a light on the screen or getting a lightbar that reflects off it will make it harder to see the screen

[remote cairn]

So the benq would be the right one then

[cold bloom]

if you light the desk up a bit somehow but not too bright for at night and away from the screen you'll see it better

and the benq one works well cause it shines down and away

if you have your setup at a wall I find shining a dim light off the wall behind your desk can help too

[remote cairn]

alright, thank you, I'll probably do that

[cold bloom]

no problem

the logitech litra beam I use for that works well too, and you can adjust it in ghub

I think it's like 90$ US?

but also other options there too, I think there's some light strips you can get off amazon that stick to the back of your monitor and light up the wall that way

[remote cairn]

yeah it's around that price

[harsh dove]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[cold bloom]

yeah it works really well for that price I find

you can adjust the brightness and temperature etc in g hub then just unplug it and power it through the wall if you wanted

but it works off your pc with usb

[remote cairn]

same price as the benq light so yeah, and they have an LX which is bigger

[remote cairn]

yeah that sucks

[cold bloom]

the lx one I think has 2 lights too

so it can have an rgb light one way and a white light the other I think

litra beam is cool for if I ever wanna stream, I can turn it around and light myself up but it's not too distracting cause it's like a diffused light

[remote cairn]

yeah, it seems to do a gradient

[cold bloom]

You can attach it in the middle of the light too

[remote cairn]

looks good, that would work well to replace my desk light that's gotten yellow now

[cold bloom]

Yeah I like how I can make it a warmer temperature white at night

Or cooler to read etc

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s kind of what I did

[remote cairn]

would be sick if it was an actual plug socket

[cold bloom]

And the benq one matches it it senses the room light and matches which is cool

Yeah like that bigsly

[old swallow]

prison walls setup

[polar girder]

$9 led strip

[polar girder]

Never leaves the dungeon looking ahhhhh

Cheap and lazy and easy behind light monitor lol

[old swallow]

haha, but nah, looks nice

[polar girder]

lol thanks it worked out

[remote cairn]

you have so little cables on your desk, with my mouse dongle, keyboard, 2 screens vr headset that has 2 cables my desk is a mess

and I have more cables with my speakers

[polar girder]

Simplicity is key.

[cold bloom]

Ikea desks are also great for cable management, mines not perfect under my desk but I jam anything I can into the mesh net under the desk and also screwed in one of the metal wire cable management things they sell

so I only have the cables I need on my desk

I do have a usb hanging off the side I use to charge controllers or use when I game with them but I'll probably take that off for now

[sudden nova]

Thank you!

[remote cairn]

Mine is so messy

Under my second setup desk

You can see that I somewhat tried

[polar girder]

If you squint

Jk

Yeah I don’t care for cable management much. So long as the wires are out of my way

[thorn zealot]

ofc the one time i decide to buy the module

its a long pre order

[cold bloom]

Yeah under my desk isn't clean but I never see them or even from back a bit

Could be worse

[uneven meteor]

A friend of mine just asked me if the Gateron Jade would have access to all the features the leakers L45 and L60 have. I told him I believed so, but I am no expert, so if someone could confirm LOL

[cold bloom]

I wish my internet jack was elsewhere lol

[uneven meteor]

In regard to SOCD and rappy snappy

[cold bloom]

yes they do. Some longer pole switches may have some compensation around 3.2-3.5mm but it seems they're trying to work on a new wootility so you can select a switch type etc

[remote cairn]

It looks good actually

[cold bloom]

I don't know everything about it but the switches still work the same, just maybe harder to control at the end of the actuation

but 0.1mm actuations will work, RT, socd etc

[uneven meteor]

Alright thanks

[cold bloom]

thank you

[cold bloom]

https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/signum-cable-management-horizontal-silver-color-30200253/ this thing from Ikea helped a ton, I got as much of the cables into the mesh net that you install under this Ikea desk, then screwed in the two pillars for this, and then just clamped everything else with the cage and screwed in the rubbed ends into the pillars lmao

worked super well

[prime orbit]

Yall like the 461e case?

think i might do that instead of the redux

[stray tiger]

The nipple case?

[prime orbit]

ye

can those be removed?

[stray tiger]

[prime orbit]

well

[polar girder]

There’s like a whole design contest around those things

People getting creative and making diff things that can be screwed in

They can be removed. I just don’t know how good it may or may not look without h th em

[stray tiger]

Throw some spikes on there

[wraith widget]

Are you on a wanted list?

[stray tiger]

He is on my wanted list

[polar girder]

lol no my setup is just in my basement lol

Ay yo

We haven’t finished the basement yet lol

[wraith widget]

How do you use that mouse without crushing it? Serious question 😅

[polar girder]

Just don’t play like a block head

Idk lol

[wraith widget]

fair enough

[real breach]

Will lubing my switches make them more clacky/thocky

[stray tiger]

It might make them more muted but rarely would it make them clackier

[prime orbit]

oh dope

[untold wigeon]

Anyone try socd yet?

[real breach]

Thank you

[harsh dove]

For like 10 mins last night lol

Was too busy testing and other stuff

[untold wigeon]

When are you not? lol

[harsh dove]

Real

[real breach]

Hahahaha

If you lube them correctly

If you lube them too much they will just turn to mush

[tame fox]

is there a list of websites with quality custom/modding parts somewhere? very new to this but i can see the rabbithole

[wraith widget]

r/mk on reddit

Is where the rabbit hole begins

[real breach]

Does it depend on the switches?

[wraith widget]

Well sure as some switches are different

[tame fox]

do you have a link? all i get is porn

[wraith widget]

Wtf

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/

[tame fox]

cheers haha

[wraith widget]

If it's a custom keyboard part it has probably been on this

[tame fox]

awesome, cant wait for something else to burn my wallet with next to watch modding

[prime orbit]

Can i see them or nah?

on the page'

[jade storm]

Anyone here good with OBS? Have some questions about Virtual Camera. Feel free to DM me. Thank you.

[polar girder]

Not really a parts list but here's a couple of photographers that will take you to a deep, deep forest

[uneven cradle]

That's a whole lotta

[harsh dove]

Still waiting for this custom copper patina one he’s gonna do for me

[polar girder]

Nice dude

[median spade]

$1000 right there in cables and such

[untold wigeon]

@harsh dove any luck with the eBay listing I sent you?

[harsh dove]

Nah they never responded

[untold wigeon]

Eh that’s a bummer.

[remote cairn]

expensive wooting keeb ❌ expensive accesories ✅

[harsh dove]

That is a wooting

Or maybe idk wym

[fluid ravine]

Damn i need me myself one of those, but sadly my desk isn't made out of wood

Evening guys, just came home from playing tennis

[harsh dove]

Welcome home, how was tennis

Love me some tennis tbh , been awhile since I played (for fun)

[remote cairn]

I mean that your accesories are more expensive than your wooting

[harsh dove]

Ah gotya

@polar girder got some of the new stickers

[autumn pike]

Any difference in terms of sound between silicone vs. poron plate foam?

[paper crag]

Just ordered my 60HE (not the module, full pre build) does it support screw in stabs? There's a company that I can use that will clip and mod the Durock V2 stabs, along with pre lubing them, can these be screwed into the PCB or is that only if you order the module?

[spiral canyon]

60HE+ does support screw-in stabs

[fluid ravine]

Was alright lul, was teaching my senior friend how to play for the first time, though i suck.
My dad taught me the basics as he use to play like a crazy amount of hours back in college xd

[fluid ravine]

Yup indeed

[fluid ravine]

Yooo are those the WiredIn cables?! Man they look amazing!

Whats that btw

[paper crag]

While you're here

How real is that issue

With the jade switches

and sticking / the key presses becoming awkward

[spiral canyon]

First time I'm hearing about this

[paper crag]

All I needed to know

Reddit is wylin

[calm pulsar]

I have jades and it's all good with normal stabs

non long-poles

[fluid ravine]

Yeah some have issues but not all

If you do have that issues just go ahead and buy long pole switches

[calm pulsar]

just get good quality keycaps

[paper crag]

How u likin jades over stock

[fluid ravine]

i dont think you should worry too much about it

[fluid ravine]

^^

Even my RAWs dont have a problem with them

[calm pulsar]

I love the change they bring, but I'd say consider geon raw he's too, they are the new tech in HE switches

[fluid ravine]

3.4mm, jades have 3.4mm-3.5mm

[paper crag]

Ngl if i try to keep up with new shit

Ima just keep throwing money at it

[fluid ravine]

lol

real

[paper crag]

I don't wanna be that guy

but I will be

Gonna have tubs full of switches layin round my house

[loud zephyr]

you're not taking the money to the grave, so spend it all

[calm pulsar]

dont we all xd

[loud zephyr]

buuurn

[calm pulsar]

I have like 5 packs of diff switches

missing geon raw hes tho

[paper crag]

Brother the amount of switches I have lubed

that aren't in any keyboard rn

is insane

[loud zephyr]

relatable

[paper crag]

Whilst I'm here

Anyone know WTF a holee mod is

[calm pulsar]

tape inside stab housing to reduce wobble

but I think most modern stabs dont need it

[fluid ravine]

bandaid*

[paper crag]

Ye It seems gimmicky

ngl

[fluid ravine]

yeah modern stabs these day have stem tolerance improvement

but honestly i dont think you really need to do bandaid mod or all that at all

just lube it enough and you'll be fine

[paper crag]

What ya'll think of durock screw in's

Lubed V2's

If anyones tried em that is

[fluid ravine]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

just standard tbh

there's v3

changed the stem internals

[loud zephyr]

I'm too much of a tight ass, cherry clip-ins for me

[fluid ravine]

so less tuning

[loud zephyr]

german precision

[fluid ravine]

yurrr

[loud zephyr]

yuuurr

[calm pulsar]

sus

[loud zephyr]

[fluid ravine]

That's our Prospa for ya

[polar girder]

Yes

[polar girder]

Nice dude

Yeah the new logo is growing on me

[untold wigeon]

Can you do the Holee mod to the stock Wooting stabs?

[cyan zodiac]

You could but it would make it mushy

Holee is a terrible mod

Just lube properly

[harsh dove]

Oh that's cool! W Friend W Dad lol and yeah these are some of the cables I got , and that's candy lol

[untold wigeon]

I thought the tape might sure it up

[quiet bay]

Bro got crazy calves even though he short af

[uneven cradle]

Short people always stacked bro

[fluid ravine]

Oh and he use to body build

[paper crag]

Ye I just ordered screw in stabs without this

Just ordered everything for my build folks

[cyan zodiac]

I believe we sold extra kits already

[paper crag]

$518

[calm pulsar]

doesnt geon have em on the website? I ordered from there

[uneven cradle]

Might have to

I'm not too sure how much this rubrehose Jane v3 is gonna cost with the plates + maybe an extra backpiece and import fees

I've done some math it's looking 💸

[prime orbit]

That’s how i feel

[polar girder]

lol only thing that could get me to spend more money now is another plate, end game switch, or aluminum keycaps come available again lol

Once I get the aluminum keycaps I’m done

[quiet bay]

gah dang

[polar girder]

I don’t even know if I’ll like them more than the thick PBT SA tho

[quiet bay]

My dad also used to work out

he has a sleeper build lol

[polar girder]

Thackson about to go NBA?

[fluid ravine]

papa got a belly now, he old :p

[fluid ravine]

naa bro xd quited basketball as a kid cus "truama"

Am volleyball player now

[polar girder]

We all get old eventually

Oh nice

[fluid ravine]

Speaking of vb i might have practice again tmr LOL

[quiet bay]

now you shall build up your own dad lore

[fluid ravine]

am skinny

frik u puberty

wait idk if i should be mad abt that or not

[calm pulsar]

I remember talk about click bars from some Gateron KS switches
I wonder, are there any tactile kinda bars? to make it tactile, but not clicky
just got to thinking after trying this cool tactile switch that gateron sent with along with my jades

[fluid ravine]

oh hohooo damn

that curve

[cold bloom]

you could use some VHB tape, it sticks crazy well. I use 2 thin strips of it to hold my power bar to the underside of my desk

https://www.amazon.com/Double-HitLights-Mounting-Waterproof-Length/dp/B07TC16SZ7/ref=sr_1_5?

prob cheaper at a hardware store tho

[hazy flax]

what would yall say is the best 300 dollar or under keyboard for normal working (75%, good ergonomics, and typing experience). Wanted to stick with the 60he+ for gaming but my typing accuracy on it sucks.

looking at mode sonnet

[uneven cradle]

If you want a TKL there's the Luminkey80 and neo80

[hazy flax]

Unfortunately my backpack doesn’t have space like that

https://kprepublic.com/products/gateron-magnetic-pink-jade-switch-magic-jade-switch-linear-for-magnetic-mechanical-keyboard-hifi-pre-lubed-30g-pom-pc-pa66-hall

huh

[harsh dove]

Yeah there's pink Jades

[calm pulsar]

I either forgot these existed or never knew 😄

[harsh dove]

There's like 20 Jade variants lol I don't blame you

[fluid ravine]

ok although i know there's alot of jades variants are you exagerating on the 20 or no

[harsh dove]

Exaggerating

[fluid ravine]

🙏

thannk goodness

[calm pulsar]

btw @harsh dove do you think getting brown KS-22s and using their tactile thingies is a good idea? for experimentation

[harsh dove]

but so far I mean there's Jade, Black Jades, Pink Jades, Jade Mini E, Jade Mini N, Neo Lavenders, RAW HE

and any others I may not know about

[harsh dove]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[calm pulsar]

ah so it seems non-clicky tactile leaves do not fit, or did I get it wrong

[harsh dove]

Yeah the tactile leaves don't work based on that but the click leaves do

[calm pulsar]

got it, thanks
im kinda opposed to clickies in an HE context, cause it would probably feel too restricting for rapid trigger and such

but brown-like tactility might be cool

[tawdry tree]

Jades, Pink Jades, Amethyst Jades, Black Jades and the dual rail variants.

[tawdry tree]

It has its uses but is definitely not for everyone. I used it in combination with DKS which was quite helpful.

[calm pulsar]

amethyst seems to bed a limited edition for atk, interesting

[tawdry tree]

“Limited edition” just means exclusive to the RS afaik.

The render you see is completely wrong by the way, if you hadn’t figured already 😅

It’s just a Jade recolor and no dual stage spring either.

[calm pulsar]

yeah it looks like only the bottom color changed, the stem remained white, so nothing crazy

[quiet bay]

why are they just releasing different colors and nothing new..

[light linden]

howdy the last of my parts for my keyboard came in (the tofu redux case, gateron official stabilizers, fr4 plate) is there anything I cna or should do to make my keyboard have more of a clacky sound profile to it?

[calm pulsar]

I assume jades sell extremely well

so they are gatekeeping kinda

[calm pulsar]

what switch you're gonna use?

[tawdry tree]

(stolen from twitter)

[light linden]

lekker 40's

[tawdry tree]

https://tenor.com/view/stonks-rew-inside-rewi-distorted-dank-gif-17183483

[calm pulsar]

for clack id say get raw geon he or jades

[polar girder]

Once they’ve made jades in every single color, we might finally get switch evolution again

[light linden]

I cant be in the market for new switches rn

im talking about mods atleast

[polar girder]

L45’s are goated

[calm pulsar]

ah so upper too
but i would love a full matte black switch

[polar girder]

Open bottom nylon top and bottom. YES

I would buy 90 rn

[calm pulsar]

well fr4 plate allows for more clack, but with open bottom its not it

[polar girder]

This hoppy is problematic

Hobby LOL who am I kidding

Obsession*

[light linden]

arent like all cases closed bottom except for the holee? 😭

[calm pulsar]

im talking abt switches xd

[light linden]

oh well I cant afford new switches rn 😭 which is why im looking for mods of some sort

cause rn its kinda thocky? and I dont quite like how deep it is so should I try to pack in dense foam?

[calm pulsar]

what kinda plate you have rn?

[light linden]

fr4 plate

[calm pulsar]

installed?

[light linden]

yeah

[calm pulsar]

oh well, w/ my jades it helped me to achieve more clack

not sure what else can help here

[light linden]

how much are jades?

DAYUM

50?

[calm pulsar]

rn you can check geon raw he switch, i think its cheaper and its the new jade-like switch

[light linden]

hewlllll nah

[fluid ravine]

ok wha da flip is this now

[calm pulsar]

nothing much, just jade recolor

[fluid ravine]

like like did they have to?

[calm pulsar]

I need me a raw he recolor

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

black

[light linden]

ok so like 30 but how much is shipping arent geon works based in korea 😭

[calm pulsar]

they are, thats why im waiting lul

you can look for jades on aliexpress too, might be cheaper there

[tawdry tree]

exclusiveeeee omg omg omg

i bought 10

[fluid ravine]

woaaa like im so excited for another jade "variant" woaaaaaa

[light linden]

im tired of waiting I waited like 4 months just for a case

you just wrote hi in russian xd

[fluid ravine]

i mean thinking about it by chance depending on the shipping cost it might be cheaper than the jades themselves :^

[sweet oak]

pretty jades

[light linden]

my question keeps getting avoided

[fluid ravine]

what questions

I just got here lul

[fluid ravine]

no engles

[calm pulsar]

i mean you should be set for clack with your setup, just not the switches...😭

[light linden]

what mods can I do to my keyboard to get more clack without getting different switches

[fluid ravine]

o

what switches u got

[calm pulsar]

10 layers of tape mod

[fluid ravine]

no^

the exact opposite of what you wanna friking do for clack

self experienced*

[calm pulsar]

he/she on l45s

[fluid ravine]

ah shi that kinda tuff

Honestly

[calm pulsar]

thats what im sayin

[fluid ravine]

ermmmm

I mean i can cook some ideas cus i've done a semi clack build with em lekkerzzzz

ABS keycaps, a plate the can produce a high frequency without a lot of resonance or ping so maybe fr4?, silicone pad or none, dense foam or none if you got a good quality alu case

smth smth

[light linden]

I mean pretty much waht I got tbh so alrighty then

[calm pulsar]

I havent tried carbon fiber yet but I love my fr4, so clean

[light linden]

ewwww plate mount

[fluid ravine]

[polar girder]

Hey thanks

I’m going to try black on grey next

[harsh dove]

Remove the foam

[light linden]

I think itll ping too much no?

[quiet bay]

clack with lekkers is

eh..

[light linden]

DEFAULT FOAM FOR THE WIN

[fluid ravine]

actually thinking aboiut it, how do i clack

already have like enough knowledge of thock abt i need more of clack

I know there's like not much too it but damn

[thorn zealot]

Raw dog it

[fluid ravine]

yeah raw dawging it rn

im just running pollyfill as my case foam

just to remove that hollowness

[thorn zealot]

I was gonna buy the module

Until I saw it is pre order

[fluid ravine]

running no plate foam to get the pure sound of the switch

like these switches aint that clacky but i got like a long pole sound to it

imo

otherwise i like it

I prob need like a diff plate

[cold bloom]

they are long pole so I guess that makes sense

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[cold bloom]

just messing with you

[fluid ravine]

na na

u right doe

[thorn zealot]

I think I might run an alu plate with no plate foam

And black jades

Idk how that will go

[cold bloom]

I have a set of black jades if you need some still

They're kinda pricey on the backspace site but I could sell them for closer to reg jade price + shipping or something

I'm in canada tho

I haven't used them yet so I'd like to just get the money back, but could help with shipping

[thorn zealot]

Is this for me or @fluid ravine

[cold bloom]

you

or whoever

[fluid ravine]

you

no me

[thorn zealot]

I alr have black jades

[cold bloom]

ah kk

[thorn zealot]

They just sitting in my drawer

[cold bloom]

I bought them then got my raw HE in faster

lmao

and I think I like those a bit more

[fluid ravine]

LOL real

Hi Pops!

[cold bloom]

might try and lube my black jade springs eventually tho

[stray tiger]

You guys mentioned all the Jade recolors and didn't even mention the Dash's

[fluid ravine]

What's that

[stray tiger]

They were the OG Jade recolor. Not sure how much they are now but they used to be cheaper

[polar girder]

probably CF and hard plastics

[cold bloom]

yeah I think they used to be .50$ cheaper a switch than jades or something

not sure if they still are

Raw HE are a lot cheaper tho

[polar girder]

oh whoops i was behjind

[cold bloom]

and I think better lubed stock

[polar girder]

i thought thackson was asking how to thack

closed bottom, cf and/or hard plastics lol

[stray tiger]

Tested out socd earlier and it's legit. Will take some time to get used to it but even after taking off from CS for 2 months it didn't take long to get back

[fluid ravine]

oh yeah i need to test that out

but my val aint working for some damn reason

i cant update

sooo i uninstalled :>

like just now]

[thorn zealot]

I heard that raws are clackier than jades

Is that true to u

[fluid ravine]

or more louder*

i think they have a similar pitch but the volume should be louder i suppose idk im going based off of Keeb Taro prototype vid

[stray tiger]

I feel like they are fairly close but the Jades are still the clackiest to ne

[fluid ravine]

o

[stray tiger]

Me*

[thorn zealot]

I uninstalled val a month ago

[fluid ravine]

lul

[cold bloom]

maybe slightly, pretty similar

[thorn zealot]

Feels great

Mmmmmmmm

[fluid ravine]

like my board sounds great and all but my ear is scratching for more greatness

more clack

[stray tiger]

Feels like only yesterday you were chasing deeper thock. My how you've grown

[harsh dove]

Oops lol

[quiet bay]

I like clack and all but I still lob Thock 😋

[fluid ravine]

[thorn zealot]

I’m rly considerin getting a sep 65 mx kb

[stark osprey]

hey hey! learn to share. White crazed is coming...

[quiet bay]

I didnt get white crazed cause it looked sorta grey to me

but I do have cerakeys...just gotta get better switches to get the best sound out of it

[cyan zodiac]

I got the early batch from them stem molding was shit

So I hope they took that money and improved it

[stark osprey]

It looked gray on their early photos, the new photos look better though to me

[cyan zodiac]

Like the keycaps legit fall out

[quiet bay]

well ofc the stems arent ceramic anymore

[stark osprey]

Guess gonna find out soon enough how they really are 😂

[quiet bay]

they work completely fine for me

just one damaged keycap and support sent some replacements to me right away

[cyan zodiac]

Material does not affect tightness tolerance

[uneven cradle]

Gimmi that double shot ABS and I'm happy

[cyan zodiac]

Sorry read the message wrong

Ignore it

[cyan zodiac]

Buy jindo

[light linden]

i made it sound more clacky now

after trying to get screws in for 30 minutes

foam made it better btw

[uneven cradle]

Would if I was korean

I do want to try a keybobo set

[cyan zodiac]

They lit

Cheaper gmk

[uneven cradle]

If they make a set I like I'll cop

[light linden]

no it doesnt

i just tried tape mod and sounds thockier

[calm pulsar]

it just makes it louder, so if you on lekkers probably amplifies the lower sounds

[fluid ravine]

well then im going to put that to the test

[flat cobalt]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I ordered a Wooting 60 and saw the Tofu60 case is this all I need to transfer it over into it?

[calm pulsar]

tofu60 aluminum plate not required

[fluid ravine]

You dont need the "Tofu60 Redux Accessories"

[flat cobalt]

Aahhhhhh ty ty let me see if I can have that removed

[flat cobalt]

Thank you!

[fluid ravine]

my besto friendo, it doesuh not workuh like thatuh

i za show

and yet sadly my dryer is overlapping my audio fak

[calm pulsar]

nah its tape mod increasing volume of AIR in your room

[fluid ravine]

heh air

But yeah tape mod is suppose to make the board sounds more "poppy" or yet more louder

[calm pulsar]

its deeper sounding, but with that kinda sound I'd love the spacebar to be even deeper

[fluid ravine]

and increase the lower tones like saiku said

[fluid ravine]

honestly, alhtough this spacebar is deep as shit

my brain is fixating this to be sounding hollow

It's just me

really not hollow at all but deep af

Corpse spacebar?

ok im taking this out

this is why i dont run tape mod no mo

[calm pulsar]

I think it just works better on MX keyboards

[fluid ravine]

yeah i still dont like it either way

[fluid ravine]

oh shiet where you get this

yoink

got my pic but damn you really got a good snap

[calm pulsar]

stop lying you just keep pics with Sander
