[stark osprey]

Yeah I got an SC project on mine, but just slip on. Cant imagine what the full sounds like

[marsh saffron]

Which is definitely unfortunate

[marsh saffron]

It's mean, definitely getting an sc project if I get one

Would also go sc project for basically any bike I get though 🤷

He said past 140kmh the wind just beats the shit out of you though

Which is unfortunate and why id probably get an r6

[stark osprey]

Yeah not for high speed, but MT07 got that low end, I think it's nice for twisties and street, if you're gonna do track then R6 for sure. I just wouldnt wanna ride traffic on one and kill my back. 😂

[marsh saffron]

We've got lots of windy highways out here that you can carry a lot of speed through

Mountain highways are a blast to race around on

Don't have a bike now but the highways out here are good for 200-250 through a lot of the bigger turns

In a car at least 🤷

[polar girder]

Blew my motorcycle budget on modding my 60HE

[marsh saffron]

Tbh I might just skip the vitpilen and get an r6 for my first bike

Just need to have some self control until I get used to riding stuff that isn't dirt bikes

[stark osprey]

Yeah that's the best, unfortunately I gotta commute through traffic before I can reach the mountains/ twisties over here, or anywhere really. Must be nice wherever it is you are.

[marsh saffron]

I know I'll probably get bored of the vitpilen pretty quick

[marsh saffron]

Bc Canada, we live in a small town next to the main highway across all of canada

It's a fun highway when traffic is quiet

Surprisingly not that many cops in my area of the highway either

[harsh dove]

Swear I’ve been testing switches for hours this week every time I come home

[flat cobalt]

Like for the sound or feel?

[harsh dove]

Analog Monitor Testing for switch compatibility with Wooting boards

[flat cobalt]

Neat! I don't know about that stuff

[ornate saffron]

just switched to PC plate and jades in one go

from stock plate and lekkers

freaking amazing

[zenith socket]

wooting module comes with pc plate right?

[fluid ravine]

yup

[sage flicker]

if anyone knows how to use springs lighter than the 28g sold by aliexpress, that'd be great. MX springs apparently have too small an ID to fit in HE switches. I need uber light!

[zenith socket]

ok thanks

[untold wigeon]

My monitor is 1440p 240hz.

[safe rover]

Mine is 1440p 360hz

[marsh saffron]

Mine is 1080p 240hz

I could buy like 4 of my monitors for the price of the 1440@240 OLED I was looking at

[flat cobalt]

That's fair for sure lol

Mine is oled.

[zenith socket]

anyone knows if tofu60's brass weight is worth getting? can't really find a side by side comparison

[marsh saffron]

Worth it imo

[untold wigeon]

Do you want a heavy keeb?

[marsh saffron]

Makes the case not sound hollow + the weight makes the brain happy

[uneven cradle]

Makes keyboard heavier, probably takes out some more pinging noises

[zenith socket]

idrc about heavy, mostly about sound?

[marsh saffron]

It makes it way less pingy/hollow

[zenith socket]

can't I replace it with something like foam?

[untold wigeon]

Anything’s possible

[harsh dove]

Gigabyte M27Q X is pretty good

[marsh saffron]

You can, but might not be as effective? Not sure

[zenith socket]

maybe I'll just order it seperately in the future then, thanks

if I feel like it

[marsh saffron]

OLED?

[untold wigeon]

Gigabyte warranty though

[harsh dove]

Nah

[marsh saffron]

Wouldn't pick it up then personally

If I were to upgrade monitors from xg2431 id go the whole way

[harsh dove]

People always say that but I never had an issue with their products, I’ve never had to return anything either

[safe rover]

Got me there

[harsh dove]

There’s a 360hz OLED version dropping eventually

[untold wigeon]

Same but I heard it’s awful

[marsh saffron]

240hz OLED already costs 1100$

360hz OLED would cost me damn near 2k probably 😭

[harsh dove]

If you want OLED you pay the price lol

Unless you get it on sale

Like I got my $1300 OLED for $799

[untold wigeon]

@safe rover I like your avatar. I just started season 4

[marsh saffron]

Yeah I'll probably just never go OLED tbh

Maybe like 3 or 4 years from now?

[harsh dove]

The market will get better and there will be more affordable options

Instead of every new one being $1300

[untold wigeon]

Mine was $1700 now they go for $999.99

[paper crag]

Still busted for me brother

[harsh dove]

I’m just glad most companies are now including the burn-in in their warranties

[untold wigeon]

Mine self repairs every few hours

[harsh dove]

Yeah that too, most of them now have built in preventative features

Which is nice

[untold wigeon]

Very nice

[marsh saffron]

Tbh it's getting harder and harder to justify spending money on my PC setup

Gaming is becoming something I enjoy less and less at a constant

[harsh dove]

Yeah it can be an expensive hobby

[marsh saffron]

It's not even entirely the price, I just don't enjoy gaming as much

The price definitely puts an extra nail in the coffin

[harsh dove]

lol yeah

I don’t game nearly as much as I used too but games also aren’t that great lately

[untold wigeon]

I have as much money in mice as most have in a decent pc lol. It’s an addiction

Then there’s the PC and the keyboard, audio, headsets. The list goes on and on

[marsh saffron]

If I could sell all my PC stuff for MSRP I would do it in a heartbeat and spend that money elsewhere

[harsh dove]

I also feel like I’ve moved away from competitive games lately as they say I’m a “single player boy” now lol

[harsh dove]

On your bike lol

[marsh saffron]

Entirely yep

[harsh dove]

That’s how my brother was with our bikes

Spent all his money on them

[marsh saffron]

Only problem would be gas money 🥴

[paper crag]

Cam

how many sets of GMK do you own

[untold wigeon]

4

[harsh dove]

At least with a bike is way cheaper

[marsh saffron]

94 is still like 2.10-2.20 a liter

Probably burn a few tanks a day if I'm out riding

I'm not exactly the most fuel efficient rider/driver

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah easily but in terms of just normal commuting and not joy riding, you’ll save more than a car

[marsh saffron]

Oh for sure, but id only really get a bike for joy riding tbh

[harsh dove]

Haha fair enough

[marsh saffron]

Id just take my car for normal commuting most times

[harsh dove]

This is my friends from NL

[stark osprey]

Just some motivation for any would be riders. Me and the homie rode up PCH to Laguna Seca for the races 2 weekends ago. Epic trip 🤘

[marsh saffron]

Gsxr in the living room is awesome

[harsh dove]

Yeah my friend is funny for that and yes he actually keeps it there and uses the freight elevator to leave

[marsh saffron]

That's awesome

Gotta protect the investment, especially if you live in an apartment

I wouldn't wanna park it somewhere I can't see it

[harsh dove]

Yeah exactly lol

[flat cobalt]

Audio for me was pricey I think I dropped like 1K

[harsh dove]

About 12

[marsh saffron]

Bikes are too easy to steal, id probably park it in my house too🤣

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/no-slap-gif-9891052

I asked my wife if I could get a bike

[marsh saffron]

All of my family doesn't want me to

Especially my dad

[untold wigeon]

I’m not there yet but it’s a lot

[paper crag]

Yeah bro you have spent some MONEY

[digital vale]

my daily commuter is killing me financially but wouldnt have it any other way

[marsh saffron]

My daily commuter is just a little stick shift Corolla, it's not at all fancy but it's fun

And technically rare

[harsh dove]

Nah I get em off the back of the truck

[untold wigeon]

This is my other favorite money pit.

[harsh dove]

You got a keyboard in there by chance?

[marsh saffron]

I could've owned a 240sx but due to some family stuff it likely won't work out

[digital vale]

always

[untold wigeon]

I would love an RS wagon. Or an older Volvo 850 turbo sports wagon

[digital vale]

Yeah 850 has a special place, my first car i owned was a 850r, that thing was silly but i loved it

[untold wigeon]

I’ve always had a soft spot for wagons

[untold wigeon]

I’m from America and I’ve always wanted to get this.

[digital vale]

Haha looks sick!

[signal mulch]

anyone here selling a 60he in the us/canada

[untold wigeon]

Oh yeah. Big block V-8 land yacht

[digital vale]

V8s the only way to go

[uneven cradle]

I always wanted a stagea

[untold wigeon]

Fill it with GTR parts

[harsh dove]

Thanks @fluid ravine

[untold wigeon]

I love my Mustang but it’s a turbo 4

[harsh dove]

I’d check EBay or Mechmarket on Reddit

[untold wigeon]

You finally got the Raws?

[harsh dove]

Yeah had Thockson help me out with ordering them since he got cheaper shipping

[untold wigeon]

Tons on eBay. Very expensive though

[signal mulch]

ebay reselling with 150$ overpay on used keyboards and ive posted on mechmarket and no luck so far

[harsh dove]

Ah damn

[fluid ravine]

Extra rubber band for protection

[paper crag]

fellas im askin again

[fluid ravine]

Anyways Much love 🫶

[paper crag]

w60he supports screw in stabs right

full keyboard prebuilt

[fluid ravine]

Yes the 60HE+ does

[paper crag]

okay so its both not just the module?

[fluid ravine]

yup

[paper crag]

Fantastic

thanks

[signal mulch]

ebay prices are so bad

[fluid ravine]

They updated the prebuilt to the new pcb (HE+) but otherwise the build specs is the same

[paper crag]

Sweet

They gotta update that on the site ngl

[fluid ravine]

wym?

Although the pcb is now updated to the +, the prebuilt is still gonna come with plate mounts hence why they still state it in the build spec sheet

[uneven cradle]

Ain't much difference 99.9% of people ordering are not gonna notice the difference or care about it

[fluid ravine]

As the module is gonna come with the screw in stabs

[silent lark]

Would you have still been able to change lekker switches or replace lube before?

It looks like it was just the screw in stabilizer option

[fluid ravine]

I'm sorry can you elaborate the question, I'm confused.

[uneven cradle]

Everything is the same aside from the pcb supports screw in stabs on the 60he+

[silent lark]

Like the pcb has an altered design but it looks like u could still change everything before

Yeah besides now there’s support for screw in stabilizers

[quiet bay]

yes its still hot swappable

[fluid ravine]

@~@ I hate english

[fluid ravine]

Ok although I'm a bit lost, the only difference between the old pcb (60he) and the new pcb (60he+) is just the compatability with the PCB mounted stabilizers (screw ins/clip ins). Otherwise tech and everything is still the same.

[tidal frigate]

@cyan zodiac do u have gmk colorchrome and moonlight?

[cyan zodiac]

Nope

[cold bloom]

@harsh dove how do you like them so far?

the Raw HE

[harsh dove]

In hand, they feel pretty damn good tbh, ngl I was expecting the tolerance to be a bit tighter but it's good

[flat cobalt]

Might buy these, they look cute

[tidal frigate]

Do you have keycap spreedsheet?

[granite comet]

whats the wooting social email turn around time usually? sorry if dumb question

[cold bloom]

fair, it's def better than most I feel like but I see what you mean

[uneven cradle]

Any TGR boards in the collection?

[untold wigeon]

@cyan zodiac what are the green ones top left?

[harsh dove]

Yeah they're the best out rn forsure , we'll have to see how the Lekker V2s are

[cold bloom]

agreed

[untold wigeon]

I’m hoping to get some money for my birthday on Sunday and I’m grabbing the Raws

Jane will come soon

[uneven cradle]

The rubrehose one?

[cyan zodiac]

Can you circle?

[cyan zodiac]

Nah different one

[tidal frigate]

How much did u spent for hobby

[polar girder]

Hella artisans on deck

[granite comet]

who doesnt love artisan

[tidal frigate]

Me

[granite comet]

[polar girder]

lol I’m not anti-artisan

But they do kind of mess with the clean uniformity of a board

[south coral]

yeah not a fan of artisian caps, mousemats on the other hand

[flat cobalt]

You don't wanna replace your WASD with this

[quiet bay]

I like metal artisans

[foggy hatch]

Jaku, honey I'm hoooooome.

[south coral]

i feel like id break it hitting it from the side lol

[foggy hatch]

So I think I may go with the 60he+. If it has everything the 80he will have, except for the 8k polling, then I can live with that.

[polar girder]

Well now I need metal SA artisan

[foggy hatch]

How should I order it from the Wooting site? What's the best combination?

[flat cobalt]

Low-key want the UwU for MuseDash

[tidal frigate]

So look if you want mod it from start buu module

If not buy prebulit

https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f
Here is case compatibility list

Here you have switch compatibility list

@foggy hatch

Thats all info u need know for now.

[foggy hatch]

Thank you!

[tidal frigate]

What is your budget

Because if budget goes up u got more options

[flat cobalt]

I want those pink jades so bad

Gonna buy them

[polar girder]

Hmmm interesting first impression

Stock black knight vs fully lubed and oiled L45/Raptor hybrid

[harsh dove]

Stock RAW HE's are pretty nice

Just finished installing them

[harsh dove]

Yeah they don't beat Stem Swapped Raptors in terms of deep sound

maybe after some hand lubing

[urban harbor]

how's the stock sound

[harsh dove]

Of RAW HE?

[urban harbor]

yeah

[harsh dove]

Really solid tbh

[urban harbor]

great!

[harsh dove]

Close to Jades

I think Jades are bit clackier but that also might be because of the lube job on these, feel way more lubed stock than stock Jades

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s sad lol

[harsh dove]

If you stem swap em with Black Jades/ Jades you get the same effect

Or Lekker stem fits too

in the BK top

Gives the same effect

[polar girder]

Oh snap lol

[urban harbor]

looks like a boba

[polar girder]

I’ll have to try that lol

[harsh dove]

Feels the same as the Raptor Swapped too

just fyi

[south coral]

are the black jades any good?

[harsh dove]

Yeah, basically a Jade recolor with dual stage springs

[south coral]

nice

[harsh dove]

And just so you're aware only the bottom of the switch is black, the top housing and stem are dark green

[south coral]

lmao

[calm pulsar]

its a nice color in person imo

[harsh dove]

Yeah I like em

[sinful granite]

do you guys know if are there any switches to wooting that are similar to the normal blue switches? i want that clicky fell or sum

[calm pulsar]

so far the only good way is buying gateron ks-22 and putting their click bars into your HE switches

there are also outemu clicky HE switches iirc, but they are likely very bad quality

[sinful granite]

oh

ok

[calm pulsar]

the reason HE switches are all linear to begin with is to allow more control for rapid trigger, and click bars prevent you from having full control over the switch in a way

[sinful granite]

oh i get it now

ty

[sinful granite]

wait how to do that tho 😔

[calm pulsar]

you will need Gateron KS-22 blue switches for this
these are conventional mech switch, but their housings is similar to wooting switches, so their clickbars fit

then you disassemble them, take out the click bar and put it the same way into your wooting switch

you will basically need to buy a whole set of switches just for the click thingies, so you gotta decide if it is worth it for you

[sinful granite]

yeah im just wondering because wooting itself is quite expensive

and i dont even know if i want the 60 or 80

[quiet bay]

what HE switches are they compatible with? 🤔

[calm pulsar]

I'd say just get the layout that you want and try out the stock switches first

[quiet bay]

wondering if they work with lekkers

or raw hes

[calm pulsar]

I think they should be compatible with all variants of KS-20, thus lekkers as well

[tawdry tree]

KS-20, KS-20T and KS-20U: #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[sinful granite]

because 60 is like too small for me and i want thoes extra few keys but at the same time i kinda dont like how the 80 look xd

[calm pulsar]

@sinful granite check this post for more info, I was looking for it too

[tawdry tree]

None of Grain Gold’s switches has the click leaf slot sadly. @quiet bay

[quiet bay]

Aw man..I wanted to try having some kind of click with cerakeys

[foggy hatch]

I can spend between $500 - $700.

That said, I want something nice, but I don't need too if the line.

[calm pulsar]

I went with the 60 for looks and I set up arrow keys on it and my function row (f1, f2 etc) works by pressing tab + number key, so to me its fine having smaller keyboard
the 80 layout is kinda not my thing too 😄

[sinful granite]

yeah

if i will get wooting im prob getting 60 too

[drifting mirage]

get the 60He and then mod the arrow keys to the 4 keys around the right windows key

[sinful granite]

thats what i will do just not around the right windows key prob

[calm pulsar]

putting them here allows you to press them immediately without holding the Fn key

[sinful granite]

and thats where i wanted to putt them

[calm pulsar]

but if you hold these buttons, they work as the original keys (shift, fn etc), but you can ofc replace them completely with arrow keys so you can hold them

[flat cobalt]

I wish they would have gone for a 75

[prime orbit]

is there anything the regular keyboard doesnt get that buying just the module has?

[calm pulsar]

silicone pad

and screw-in stab are installed on the module

prebuilt has support for screw-ins but has platemounts installed

[prime orbit]

is that an issue for upgrading later?

[calm pulsar]

no

[prime orbit]

Ok

idk if i want to spend the extra $100 for all my custom build rn

[sinful granite]

yeah i feel like its just not worth it, i will get the normal wooting 60he and i will see if i like it or no

[prime orbit]

might just get the reg one

[sinful granite]

and what i can change

i want to get custom keycaps for the wooting tho

[calm pulsar]

good choice imo

[prime orbit]

@calm pulsar worth or not

[calm pulsar]

well the stock keyboard is in a good place for modding later right now
because mine was without screw-in stab support, so I'm stuck with plate mounts currently

so I'd say you can just get the prebuilt keyboard and upgrade it slowly as you want

[prime orbit]

ok cool

i already have black knight switches sitting here

ready to go

but like the case and stuff idk

[calm pulsar]

but if you ask if it is worth upgrading at all then yes, I love my wooting in an aluminum case, all kinds of switches, gmk keycaps etc

[prime orbit]

i think it can wait for now

[sinful granite]

wanted to get only the wooting 60he+ module with the lekker switch linear60 i think? and a custom case but i like how the strap looks so i will just get a normal wooting 60 IM GONNA get custom keycaps tho

[calm pulsar]

these are not real gmk keycaps by the way

[flat cobalt]

Ohhhhhh tyty

I'll delete that

[calm pulsar]

yeah its crazy that its the first link on google all the time xd

[flat cobalt]

What would be a good place to look :o?

[calm pulsar]

here is a good reference point
https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[flat cobalt]

Tyty!

Just found the cutest keys

[calm pulsar]

yeah real gmk would be double that price unfortunately, but you can check out gmk symbiote for a pink gmk set

there are many others, just this is one of the most memoarable cause @harsh dove has em

[sinful cliff]

hi, what are the key differences between the lekkar switch and the jade ones one the website?

[flat cobalt]

https://omnitype.com/collections/gmk/products/gmk-tuzi-keycap-set?variant=38551935713449

Looking at these

[sinful cliff]

besides “noise” differences in didnt see anything online lol

[harsh dove]

These are pretty nice, I have them as well

[sinful granite]

why does this shit has to be soo expensive tho

[flat cobalt]

Whaaaaaa

[calm pulsar]

oh btw check this website, there is a sale on everything

https://vala.supply/

gmk as well

[wraith widget]

Aesthetics

[flat cobalt]

Oh pretty ones too

[flat cobalt]

I might buy the whole thing I want the little mat too

[calm pulsar]

gmk keycaps are always limited runs with community designs, they have a real original cherry profile (gmk bought tools from cherry) and they are just good quality overall, thus such a price

[sinful granite]

ok let me know when they are gonna be the same price as a carrot

see ya

[polar girder]

Stock BK Spring Swap:

1 - Stock BK spring
2 - Two-Stage 35g spring
3 - Lekker 35g spring

The 2-stage 35g spring is niiiice

Feel so smooth. Dang near frictionless.

[prime orbit]

no like just skipping the prebuilt and only buying the extra stuff like i think in total it would be about $275 vs $180 rn. not sure tho

[polar girder]

Stock Black Knight vs L45/Raptor vs 2-stage 35g spring, Lekker stem, black knight housings

[prime orbit]

need that black knight and geon raw sound test

[calm pulsar]

dr dave, cam and thackson have done raw he tests
also these are quite diff from BKs due to closed bottom

[polar girder]

H = L45/Raptor
F = Black Knight
G = L45/Black Knight

[prime orbit]

can they be modded together?

or nah

[calm pulsar]

BK and geon I think yes, some parts
but tbh geons on their own already very good

[prime orbit]

I have BKs in my drawer rn

waiting

patiently

for me to get more money lmao

but the geon raw with the black knight would be a dope combo

call it cookies and cream

mhm mhm

[quiet bay]

I swear I saw someone do that

combo

[calm pulsar]

sounds like lekker/raptor is more low pitched, but Im not sure of how lubed all of these are

[calm pulsar]

yes @tawdry tree done it

[prime orbit]

need it rn

[ornate saffron]

i got gateron screw in stabs coming tomorrow. but the pc plate/jades i installed today seems to have completely eliminated any spacebar rattle. so i dunno if I should even mess with a good thing now

[quiet bay]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message aha found it

[prime orbit]

bet

[quiet bay]

The cookies and cream combo

[calm pulsar]

🔥

[prime orbit]

would it sound diff reversed?

like

raw stems

[calm pulsar]

damn I have to order icecream now

[calm pulsar]

the bottom housing would change the sound more than just changing the stem I think

[polar girder]

Yeah true. The l45 stems are lubed, full raptor housing lubed and only stock lube on BK parts

[quiet bay]

I love cookies and cream but I like Mint Chocolate and Chip better 😋

[prime orbit]

sorry thats what i meant

like BK bottom

Raw top

[polar girder]

I was curious to try raw top and bottom housing, black knight stem

Oh that’s sweet. I think I missed this actually

[quiet bay]

I need that RawHE/BK combo for my white and black wooting

!!!

[polar girder]

Truuuuu

[calm pulsar]

yh i cant wait to build it in the module

[prime orbit]

same

[prime orbit]

do it

[polar girder]

That BK top and bottom and raw stem?

[polar girder]

lol I don’t have raw’s

Tempted tho

[quiet bay]

Im hoping for divinikey to stock it 😦

[prime orbit]

yes devil on your shoulder

do itttt

[quiet bay]

if Divinikey stocks raptors they better stock raw hes >:c

[polar girder]

Dang yeah I think these raptors might still sound better

[calm pulsar]

btw I also tested BK upper housing + gateron stem with the open and closed bottom

[prime orbit]

geon raw is app the new goats

[prime orbit]

but in my heart the BKs are my goat

[quiet bay]

How does Closed bottom vs Open Bottom sound?

[prime orbit]

so i gotta make the ultimate goat

[polar girder]

Curious

[calm pulsar]

gateron stem + BK upper is kinda tight btw
might need some breaking in
imma be using my white jade stems to speed this up hehe

[quiet bay]

ahh

[polar girder]

My l45 stem feels pretty good in the BK upper

[quiet bay]

I wish I had the money to frankenswitch lol

[calm pulsar]

yeah its super tight, almost zero wobble

[polar girder]

These sound closer to my stem swapped raptors

[calm pulsar]

you have had only lekkers at this point? if yes id say you can get geons and have two good sounds, open and closed bottom

geons arent really frankensteinable with gaterons tho

[polar girder]

The BK housing/Raw stem combo

[calm pulsar]

yeah most ppl said using BK upper with gateron is essentially stem swapped raptors

[quiet bay]

Yeah only lekkers atp 😔

I rlly like the raw he and bk combo

But idk how it actually sounds

[polar girder]

Right now if I go black knights then I’m sacrificing sound for black lol

Bro my stem swapped raptors do not move

Dang yeah idk

[calm pulsar]

have you tried lekker stem with BK botton and upper? I think it might be good and mostly black on the outside

[polar girder]

Might just leave my raptors in

[prime orbit]

that is the corret thing to do

[polar girder]

Bro

I cucked the sound test

Omg lolz

[quiet bay]

My lekkers already sound pretty decent but there’s still some kind of chatter >:((

[polar girder]

I thought G was lekker/BK

[calm pulsar]

lul

[polar girder]

Ok

NOW

[quiet bay]

lmao

[calm pulsar]

yeah I think for chatter geons are prob the best, and I’d say BK upper + lekker stem comes second

[quiet bay]

Waiting till november to buy new switches rn, hoping for thockier switches by then 🤞

[polar girder]

I think that’s the two-stage spring in all 3 of them. Might be mistaken tho

[calm pulsar]

so the middle one is like the snappiest of them, I personally like

[quiet bay]

I like the sound of the middle one

[polar girder]

Soundest the cleanest

Yeah not quite the lowest

But the nicest

[calm pulsar]

yeah I think so too

[polar girder]

Raptors are lower pitch but less tidy sound

[timid shadow]

I hate those keycaps

[polar girder]

IDGAF

lol jk

[calm pulsar]

lol

[polar girder]

I don’t love center legends but I am slowly falling in love with the SA profile

I got a pair of black on grey on the way but same SA profile. You probably would hate those too.

Hater

Ok well fk

[timid shadow]

lol

[polar girder]

I guess I’m going all out and opening all my raptors, all my BK and throwing in new springs

[calm pulsar]

haha im more of a fan of cherry but its funny how Cryptic was out if the blue “i hate those”

[polar girder]

lol it’s all good. They’re kinda weird for sure

[quiet bay]

Maybe I would rock blank SA keycaps

[fluid ravine]

Modders I'm home! (It's 11:30pm)

[polar girder]

Honestly tho I already lubed all the l45 springs last time and the BL housings seems somewhat oiled already

[quiet bay]

12:34am for me

[polar girder]

Just bag lube springs and call it

[polar girder]

Same

[polar girder]

Watch this @fluid ravine

[calm pulsar]

yes it actually lubed with oil which was surprising

[fluid ravine]

Tired, hungry, my feet hurts shiet

[fluid ravine]

Middle one goated

Whatchu do

[fluid ravine]

Ah the gugu gaga switches damn I see you

[calm pulsar]

lul

[polar girder]

Yeah I think I gotta pull all the stems out of the raptors and put them in the BK’s

Then the 2-stage springs

Which feel great BTW

[calm pulsar]

thats the way

[quiet bay]

What’s the thockiest switch u think you’ve heard so far in general 🤔

[polar girder]

There might be a little friction here tho

[quiet bay]

Damn it stop making me want to buy more things 😢

[fluid ravine]

shiii tbh

i cant say

i need a raw sound test if that makes sense

case, no mods, no tray mount (isolated mount smth like friction, tadpole, gasket smth smth), and just the pure sound of the switch

[tawdry tree]

3rd party lekkers, is that even legal?

[fluid ravine]

then i go from there

[fluid ravine]

wut duh

[quiet bay]

Dang cuz isnt raw he on the clackier side

[calm pulsar]

lmao “gateron magnetic green”

[tawdry tree]

Thought they’d be exclusive to woot

[fluid ravine]

no not "raw" i meant like a "raw sound test"

not the switch lol

raw as in pure

some shi

[quiet bay]

Nahh I know but

I like the way raw he sounds but

Isnt it on the clackier side

[polar girder]

TIL the black knight upper housings are black with tiny bit of gold fleck

[calm pulsar]

he meant a sound test that is raw (adjective) lol

[fluid ravine]

xdddd

[harsh dove]

RAW HE (stock)

[fluid ravine]

i hate english

[calm pulsar]

lul

[fluid ravine]

MY GOATTT

[calm pulsar]

ohhhhh shiiiitttt so goood

[polar girder]

Yeah Raws are just better jades lol

[fluid ravine]

fr

[quiet bay]

Ahh u know what even if raw hes are on the clackier side I wanna buy them anyway cause they sound rlly good

[fluid ravine]

My spacebar sounds similar

i wish it can be more "brighter" or more clackier with the spacebar

but at this point idk what to do lol

[fluid ravine]

Anyways thoughts?

[quiet bay]

Yeahh I know, what I was saying was just a different statement..ig replying to that can be a lil confusing

[harsh dove]

They're pretty nice I can't lie, especially stock

[fluid ravine]

I mean you can get away with this

[fluid ravine]

yuhhh fr

[quiet bay]

Pleasant to the ears

[harsh dove]

I told Tirade I'll debate lubing the springs

[fluid ravine]

Honestly just lube the springs

I dont recommmend lubing anyting else

[spiral anvil]

Damn

[fluid ravine]

I kinda regret lubing my stem

[spiral anvil]

Saves me time

[harsh dove]

yeah I wasn't gonna touch anything else

just the springs

[fluid ravine]

Yeah yeah

Don't do anything else trust

[spiral anvil]

Kay

[quiet bay]

Eh it’ll spread out eventually

Ofc I’ll lube everything though 🙂

Must thocc

[fluid ravine]

Cus heres the thing, although lube does dampen the sound before breaking in, the sound signature of it stock (which is really frigin gud) is just gone?

Like idk how to explain it

But the sound profile of these switches stock have a personality xd, i broken in mine yet i still kidna regret it

[quiet bay]

Well u can always do the painful process of removing the lube

and do light lubing to replace the factory lube

[fluid ravine]

If i could i would get a swab and just remove some of the side lube of the stem cus shit idk it made a impact

like this part

next to the rail

But overall yeah, geon did a good job with the mold and lube spot choices

[quiet bay]

uggh when will Divinikey stock raw hes 😩

Im getting impatient

[fluid ravine]

they only lubed the stem rails and a lil bit of the housinf rails?

but very gud spots for this switch otherwise

[fluid ravine]

Alr time to make some threats

[quiet bay]

That’s already a threat itself

[fluid ravine]

heh

well gotta do what we gotta do

ima swap out three stock switches to see if my broken in switch is really thgat diff

[polar girder]

That black housing tho

WASD swapped

Dang tho bro

[calm pulsar]

clean

[fluid ravine]

[polar girder]

Red is so garbage bro

I don’t even care what it sounds like TBH

it just has to go lol

[fluid ravine]

ok nvm doesnt sound too diff after breaking in vs stock BUT ima need to oil these springs lowkey, i dont think dab of krytox aint enough

[calm pulsar]

so you say oil is better than krytox for springs?

[calm pulsar]

I stocked on some krytox 205g0 and xhz but I think I have some oil somewhere

[fluid ravine]

hmmm im saying cus like i put a dab of krytox on top and bottom of the spring

but i cant say much about the bag oil cus i never tried it

but if i do, ill give my thoughts

[calm pulsar]

ah okay

[calm pulsar]

here are the ugliest ones xdd

[polar girder]

Black knights sounding good, low key

[polar girder]

Hah!

[fluid ravine]

oh shiet

wait hollup

stock black knights in the middle?

[polar girder]

Yeah lol

[fluid ravine]

oh shit it cooking hollup-

[calm pulsar]

BK are a tad lower but less clean I guess than the frankenstein

[fluid ravine]

yeah idk its hard

[calm pulsar]

keep in mind its a frog too

[polar girder]

They’re definitely more the sound signature I’m going for

[fluid ravine]

well thats even better for me

cus the plate and pcb aint really making direct contact with the case like tray mount

so we can hear the switch a bit better rather than the sound transferring through the case and all taht

[calm pulsar]

tru

[fluid ravine]

but otherwise the switches on the same board making their point

so cant say much there

[polar girder]

Swapped the BK’s with the two-stage springs in the middle

Haven’t oiled any BK or 2stage spring yet

Yeah I’m over the stem swapping

Too much friction

I miss the freedom of my L45’s

I’m leaning towards bag lubing two stage springs and throwing them in the BK’s

[calm pulsar]

its never been so over swapchads

but yeah you gotta go for whatever feel and sound you like

[polar girder]

lol right

Yeah I think I’ll play around with the BK’s more and try all three springs

Bag oil them and see. BK spring, L35 spring, 2-stage 35g spring

[polar girder]

The friction is honestly killing it for me

Also a big reason I wanted to move away from the raptors

Red and friction lol

[calm pulsar]

yeah I have yet to see for myself, maybe ill just end up ordering geons and thats it lol

tho I want a black switch

[polar girder]

I think the BK’s can hold me over until til a true endgame switch comes along for me

[polar girder]

Yeah exactly. And don’t feel like buying RAW’s just for their stem lol

Yet…

[calm pulsar]

btw, for how long have you been using the lekker stem?

[polar girder]

1 yr

Used them stock until December when I put them in the Raptors

[calm pulsar]

I see, so they must be broken in quite a bit and still very tight in the BK upper

[polar girder]

Tighter in BK than in Raptor upper

Without a doubt

Yeah like these are unusable

Raptors have a little friction but it’s ok

These BK are sticky with friction

[calm pulsar]

dang, so I might just use black jades or BKs while I wait for geons

[polar girder]

Yeah it’s really just a question for me if I stay with the raptors or swap to BK

Unusable

Yeah tomorrow I’ll try the BK with all three springs and see what I think

[fluid ravine]

oh man dafuq

well that aint gud

[calm pulsar]

just try the 2stage ones first cause I think they might be the best

[polar girder]

That’s what I have in there

Just not oiled

So I’ll just throw three stock springs and three L35 springs just to compare

Also emailed about SA PBT black blanks

Ok night homies

[calm pulsar]

im taking a nap too gn yall

[fluid ravine]

Gn ima take a shower than go straight to sleep

Hi friend

[granite comet]

bro i fucked my order 💀

[flat cobalt]

What happened :o?

[granite comet]

ordered it contacted support because went oh shit want the wrist rest and then i contacted back again to say nvm and then like just now its gone on “hold” big sad

idk what support eta is like so guess ill have to wait longer

[flat cobalt]

They reply really fast so you'll probably get a response soon

Maybe at like 4 or 5

[granite comet]

[frozen hatch]

Hey guys! About to order the Wooting 60HE+ module. Do I need to order the PC Switch Plate Kit as well?

[tidal frigate]

Well with that budget you can get basicly anything you want

[uneven cradle]

module comes with everything you need apart from switches and keycaps

[frozen hatch]

Great, thanks mate😁

[uneven cradle]

also case

[frozen hatch]

Yea, ordering those separate. Only part I was unsure was the switch plate, also haven’t decided what additional modding items I should get. Any times would be greatly appreciated

Still looking into what people recommend through YouTube and Reddit

[uneven cradle]

Jades or Raw HE's would be my recommendation for switches

[paper crag]

And now we have

Patience

[cyan zodiac]

problem is raw has hole on bottom

it not as bad as others but still

jade number 1

[cyan zodiac]

latrialum Kaleidoscopic Wisp

[cyan zodiac]

lost count after 10k

[tidal frigate]

When it was

[cyan zodiac]

2 years in

[tidal frigate]

And how much you years are in

[cyan zodiac]

rn idk

[tidal frigate]

Years

How long you are in hobby

[glacial wind]

It honestly still sounds like jades even with the small hole

[cyan zodiac]

oct 2021 is when i started so 3 years now

[gusty patio]

hoping 80HE will lead to some custom case options down the line, I was ready to try a 60% board for the first time but I realized that the keycap set I want to use with it is going to lose its best keys if I dont get the use the function keys. really did like all those tofu builds I have seen as I did research though, they look great

[tidal frigate]

Man 3yrs so it is 15k atleast

[cyan zodiac]

i doubt it because the wooting 80 HE layout is very unique

and to make cases just for wooting pcb is kinda not worth

unless it is wooting themselves

[flat cobalt]

Dumb question do I need stabilizers if I'm swapping my switches to Jades ._. or it depends on the keycaps?

[elfin garnet]

Depends on keycaps, but most likely you'll be fine

[flat cobalt]

[mental horizon]

Hey. Does anybody sanded the Wooting 60he+ plate to fit tx ap plate mount stabs. Is it the outer area which has to be sanded like here? Funny storry is that most of my spacebars not work, but i got 1-2 working spacebars. Seems very strange. I now took out my spacebar stabs from looting60 which work nicely in wooting60 and in looting60 is my spacebar tx ap plate stabs xD. Any help would be nice.

And another question is, that oring mount only works if i remove the plate silikon, right? otherwiste tolerance is to tight for the oring in my case.

[rustic tapir]

Thanks

[gusty patio]

Hmm thats too bad 😦

[cyan zodiac]

i wished they just went standard layout as it would open up for alot of custom cases

but they do what they want

it going to sell anyways

[gusty patio]

Yeah.. it is sad to be losing out on that possibility now. Was really excited when they teased this new project but very disappointed in how it actually looks, not a fan of the layout at all, but not much choice with how well it does in performance and its software, dont think others come close even though I looked at those too

[mental horizon]

Until i have my new Keycaps from kbdfans ;)

how are you typing if you don't have your keyboard already, smh head?

[atomic beacon]

Hi 👋, I am interested to change base to tofu60 dark purple, maybe someone has a photo of how the colors look compared to the purple Beast X, would be grateful

[elfin garnet]

Nope

If there's an available update I'd recommend updating it regardless of the jades you install. The jades should work on either version though

Ah. Yes they will work

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJgxb9WtYGY

Yes, the steps are similar. Install the stand offs at the same positions you see Sander doing it in the video

Don't be sorry. That's what this channel is for. Feel free to ask more as you go

That's for the USB alignment. You have to push the lever to the right

Yes, this needs to be where the "W" is:

Nope. Just push it to the right with your finger

If it's tight you can unscrew it a little, push it to the right and then screw it back in, but it shouldn't be

[mental horizon]

unscrew , push to right, screw

slightly

otherwise it will not move

[elfin garnet]

Yeah it barely moves. It's just a small alignment

[mental horizon]

dont forget to attach 2 of the 3 golden extenders

[elfin garnet]

I didn't need to unscrew mine because it came loose, but it might be different for you.

He is talking about the stand offs

The golden ones

[mental horizon]

there u must screw in 2 of the 3 golden extenders

attached in ur tofu redux box

[elfin garnet]

Yes from 2.25

[elfin garnet]

Shouldn't be using the middle one though

[mental horizon]

tofu alwayws packs +1

also screws are +1

extra

[mental horizon]

why?

built 4 tofus always did it.

[elfin garnet]

Because it creates unneccessary deadzones. Personally I would only install the far left one and the far right one.

[mental horizon]

i do rubberring 1mm mod on all my screws. so.

[elfin garnet]

When you have a stand off in the middle of the keyboard like that it creates a muted spot on the keyboard when you press keys close to it and it makes the keyboard stiff

I would put standoffs where the red circles are

If anything put the third where the yellow circle is

[mighty egret]

ughh i need geon raw he info

[paper bloom]

The sides are good

just either run 3 or 2 on the side

ive ran all 5 its not bad

[elfin garnet]

I prefer 2 and think that sounds the best, but it's preference

[paper bloom]

not much rlly

[mental horizon]

ok. thanks. will try it.

[paper bloom]

3

1 space bar 2 on the side

[calm pulsar]

it worked for me without the spacebar one, so you can just see how it sounds better for you

[elfin garnet]

Yes, if you are going to use 3, put them where the circles are in the pictures. If you're going to use 2 then put them where the red circles are

[mental horizon]

so anyone knows when using oring plate mod i have to get rid of the rubber foam right?

[calm pulsar]

removing them with a switch puller

the safest way would be to unscrew the plate and remove them from the plate

after that you can just press down new switches

[flat cobalt]

Mango

[polar girder]

Like friction mount?

[mental horizon]

yes

[polar girder]

Depends on size ring

[mental horizon]

3.5mm

[polar girder]

But I had best success with no plate foam

But like small or medium

[mental horizon]

ok cause its not working currently

[polar girder]

How do

So

[mental horizon]

ok

will try it

[calm pulsar]

for me friction mount worked with the stock poron foam

[polar girder]

Yeah the silicone pad only one that really kind of gets in the way

[mental horizon]

jeah, i guess poron will work. but silicone pad is not moving enought 😉

[calm pulsar]

yeah too dense

[tawdry tree]

I used a hobby knife which worked pretty well. For all holes you only have to cut the outside as you can see in the first picture but for the spacebar holes, you cut the outside and inside.

[mental horizon]

are there any good iso plate alternatives out there? it is hard to find some cause u need the standofs on the plate right? to secure plate and pcb and switches.

[mental horizon]

thanks. someone messaged me already. will try it.

[calm pulsar]

ohh I might use it for when I mount the TX AP stabs lol

[tawdry tree]

KBDFans sells a standoff kit that you can use with a custom plate. You can buy their plate as well.

[calm pulsar]

do they have ISO though?

never seen it

[tawdry tree]

Of course, be careful. PC is quite hard so don’t put too much force and cut yourself 😉

[tawdry tree]

Oh, I don’t think so actually.

[mental horizon]

ah yes. i remember. will have a look. wanted to use this plate and figured out i need one with standoffs.

[tawdry tree]

The plate files are public so it’s not that hard to get a custom one made.

[mental horizon]

jeah i did my own for rakka60he. maybe i will do it again for wooting too. PLA-CF sounds really good.

[mental horizon]

u meant those or? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006673401047.html

[tawdry tree]

Yes.

[mental horizon]

but i guess i will try my own like here: https://www.printables.com/de/model/939454-rakka-60-64-he-ansi-iso-plate-pcb-mount-stabs

i even did not check yet if it works for wooting 60he too .. haha

but will check it

[tawdry tree]

I don’t think standoffs are in the right place to use with Woot and it doesn’t have LED cutouts for space.

[mental horizon]

ok. will check it out on github

nice. will definitely try it. Thanks again. I forgot about the files.

[tawdry tree]

If you want only PCB mount support you should enlarge the holes or use the file only for standoff locations and remake the plate with PCB mount support here: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ and https://kbplate.ai03.com/

Create in Layout Editor and copy Raw Data to kbplate.

There’s ur plate

😅

[mental horizon]

bro xD

using gummyoringmount could work

xD

[tawdry tree]

That’s with PCB mount support.

[mental horizon]

yes. i want plate tx stabs xD

[tawdry tree]

Could work with any

[mental horizon]

i will try and see . thanks

[tawdry tree]

Then it’s easier to just use the Woot file I think.

[mental horizon]

wonder if i need 1.5 or 1.6 mm. will measure in the evening. do you know how thick the plate is?

[tawdry tree]

1.5

[mental horizon]

xD

1.55 ?

hehe

[calm pulsar]

lol i thought its like the pcb

[tawdry tree]

1.5 for plate, 1.6 is the PCB thickness.

[mental horizon]

thanks bro

1.5mm is std

[tawdry tree]

Yup

[mental horizon]

rakka uses 1.6mm for some reason

[tawdry tree]

😂

[untold wigeon]

Apparently my wife found a replacement set of GMK keycaps for my birthday on Sunday! Happy days!!!

Also the other dude finally wised up and accepted the return of the other set.

[polar girder]

W’s in the chhattt

[untold wigeon]

💩???

[polar girder]

https://tenor.com/view/drake-w-in-the-chat-w's-in-the-chat-w's-in-the-chatt-w-in-the-chatt-gif-5904534932985444411

[polar girder]

No lol

[untold wigeon]

That’s not how you spelled it. Lmao.

But I get it.

[calm pulsar]

that’s great!

stem blob

[untold wigeon]

Yeah I’m very excited. I’m equally surprised that she was able to get another set so quickly

[untold wigeon]

Raw jades?

[calm pulsar]

its just normal jades
im removing their stem so I can try breaking them in with BK housings while I wait for the module
in the meantime I will be using normal jades with darker black jade stems

[untold wigeon]

Oh ok.

[calm pulsar]

kinda weird but Bigsly had issues when he put his gateron stem in BK housing, so I will see if im able to break them in beforehand

[untold wigeon]

I’m sure with enough use it should.

[polar girder]

lol well I was spelling how it I was pronouncing it

But yeah not schat lol

[polar girder]

The lekkers have that little leg

I think I’m over trying to stem swap them.

[calm pulsar]

yeah I feel you, its kinda random with BK housing too, either its fine or feels like a tactile switch lol

[harsh dove]

Good morning

[polar girder]

Morning, sunshine

[harsh dove]

Basically where I’m at tbh

Don’t feel like dealing with the potential issues

[polar girder]

Yeah you see this shit? Lol

No bueno

[harsh dove]

lol what switches are these

[polar girder]

BK with l45 stem

[harsh dove]

Oh really? They didn’t end up working?

[polar girder]

also with two stage spring

But I don’t think that’s the culprit

[harsh dove]

Some work and some don’t or?

[polar girder]

Nah they just don’t work

They sound great

But way too much friction

[harsh dove]

Damn

[polar girder]

None had a smooth press

I’m just gonna take the black knights and throw the two stage springs in it I think

Little sound sacrifice over the stem swapped raptors. But all black

[harsh dove]

Yeah I assumed it was the same as raptor tbh but I only tested like 2 switches so not really valid ig

[polar girder]

The stem swapped raptors have like no friction compared to those stem swapped BK’s

[tawdry tree]

Cam the magic hands stab guy and I’m the switches guy. I’m using LTPs housing and KS-20 stems, both were new but none didn’t work at all.

LTP’s housing is the same as Black Knight’s

[harsh dove]

You also tried ks20 stems in BK housing?

[tawdry tree]

Everything pretty much

[polar girder]

I just have l45, Bk, Raptor

[harsh dove]

And no issue?

The 2 I swapped seemed fine as well but I never tested them lol

[polar girder]

And think I’m officially done with stem swapping with my l45 stem

[tawdry tree]

Maybe it’s with the L45 stems but I have no clue why that would be the case.

[harsh dove]

Yeah I also used 45 stems

[polar girder]

Tempted to buy the raw HE just for the stem lolz

But think I’ll just wait for new switch

[harsh dove]

They’re honestly nice man , I don’t wanna be that guy but they are actually nice lol

[tawdry tree]

Or it’s just the slight variation between tolerances and if you have a slightly tighter top housing and slightly wider stem that happens.

[harsh dove]

Wait for Lekker v2 at least

[harsh dove]

I think there is variation cause I’ve stem swapped some switches and some are smooth , some have friction, and some don’t return at all tbh

[calm pulsar]

yeah if I liked open bottom I would just wait for v2s

[calm pulsar]

yeah its the case for me too

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s just not something I’m willing to accept at this point

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, I don’t remember any not returning at all but there is slight variation, definitely.

[polar girder]

Like even if one out of 60 doesn’t work properly, I notice and it’s triggering

Unacceptable

[tawdry tree]

You didn’t notice this with Raptor’s housing?

[harsh dove]

Yeah sometimes I’d swap some stems and they’d just be stuck after pressing them down so I’d try to mix n match stems and top housing but that just gets annoying too tbh

It happened for me with Raptors too

[polar girder]

Well like one in 60 I would have to fiddle with maybe. But all three of those stem swapped BK’s feel like complete garbage

Like raptors feel normal comparatively

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, Monochromes > Stem swapped Raptors, easily.

[polar girder]

Monochromes?

[tawdry tree]

Weird

[polar girder]

Just all black?

[harsh dove]

Nah black and white

Bk stem and bottom with raw top

[tawdry tree]

Black Knight stem and bottom with Raw HE top.

[polar girder]

Why is that called monochrome?

[harsh dove]

That’s his name for it

[tawdry tree]

Boxed stem HE Nixies

[tawdry tree]

My friend called them that

[polar girder]

That’s like the opposite of monochrome

[harsh dove]

Yeah I’d just call em Nixie HE lol

[tawdry tree]

I like it tbh

[tawdry tree]

Black/White

[polar girder]

Monochrome literally means one color

lol

[tawdry tree]

??

[polar girder]

Mono-chrome

[calm pulsar]

lol theres gmk monochrome that is black and white

[tawdry tree]

It means Black and White or one color

[harsh dove]

Monochrome is a photograph or picture developed or executed in black and white or in varying tones of only one color

[tawdry tree]

Ye

[harsh dove]

You’re both right

[polar girder]

So monochrome also means the absence of color?

Make it make sense
