[prime orbit]

sigh

so many choices

[flat cobalt]

This works with the Wooting 60HE right -3-?

The FR4 Plate

[snow flint]

ya, there like 2 youtube vids with salvation and 60he

[flat cobalt]

[snow flint]

I try out a build with 60he in the salvation plus but some switches and pcb to aswell to swap out for none he build. Just figure out whcih 60 pcb i want and switches.

[snow flint]

the case supposed work with several 60% percent pcbs. but salavtion only has 2 mouting points. there is 2 different location you can install the mounting leaf springs so it will work with different pcbs.

[prime orbit]

Does white get dirty easy?

[flat cobalt]

;-; this

I like the little icons in the bottom

[untold wigeon]

Wash your hands before use and you’ll be fine

[snow flint]

ya i think that only if you use avocado or wt-60d pcb that was made for the salvation, not sure what other pcbs the salvation fr4 plate will with

[flat cobalt]

ty friendo

[snow flint]

i just got some fr4 plate from ali for wooting to test out. kbdfans make one. theres alot fr4 plates for most pcbs you can find. ali has bunch fr4 paltes for wooting 60he as cheap as $15 but need buy kbdfans screw stand off kit so you can attache the aftermarket plates to a wooting pcb.

[flat cobalt]

Yeah I got the KBD one

[snow flint]

Nice

[untold wigeon]

CF ftw!!

[snow flint]

I bought 2 different ones, cuz i wanted white fr4 and 1 had alot of flex cuts, jsut want to see how they would feel and work with the 60he. also picked a pom one to try out. still kinda try out carbon fiber to see if i would like it

[snow flint]

ya i prolly buy just for fun. i saw can order customs 60he plates with nylon, pp, abs, umphwe form hyperkeyboards.ca

[untold wigeon]

Yeah I want the PC one next

I really like the CF one though. It looks so good

[dapper hazel]

always, get keebtape with it ;)

[snow flint]

ya CF does look the best. I wish you could get custom colors.

[snow flint]

I love keeptabe

[untold wigeon]

Yeah that would be sweet

[dapper hazel]

yeah it helps a bunch especially with plastic cases

[dapper hazel]

some aliexpress sellers have different colors

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32980513349.html - just saw this 10 min ago on the euro mk discord, could ask them ;)

[snow flint]

they just had a sale 2 weeks ago and picked up some extra keeptape and thockfilms, I ike 3 in 1 thock films. Its 20%-25% off so i stocked up.

[dapper hazel]

sweet :D

[snow flint]

Sweet!

[cold bloom]

love my salvation

[dapper hazel]

the popsicle mounts got the pcb?

[cold bloom]

my esc key was a bit loose there I realized lol

[untold wigeon]

@cold bloom Vaxee?

[cold bloom]

yep

need some new supergrips for it I don't like the dots I had to use lmao

np-01s tho

[untold wigeon]

I love my Outset Ax

[cold bloom]

this is the best mouse shape I've ever tried personally

[prime orbit]

i wash my hands hella lmaooo

[untold wigeon]

I have X-Raypad obsidian on mine

[snow flint]

I cant wait to get mine. still gotta get pcb and switches and plate. not sure what pcb i want to get or switches yet. yanna put the 60he in there just for fun show it i like it till get the rest of the goods to complete the salvation.

[cold bloom]

yeah I had my wooting in here before but I'm really enjoying it as an mx build, I have hmx swifts in mine rn but ordered some of the new hmx switches to try in it too

I think this is the wooting in it

[sweet oak]

Wallpaper…

[snow flint]

shoudl just get the avacado pcb or there a better options or go soldered?

[flat cobalt]

These look nice

[cold bloom]

I believe I had poron plate foam and polyfil in the wooting video

[cold bloom]

I got the avocado, but if I had solder equipment I'd go with the weirdflex

[cold bloom]

it's an 8bit pokemon green wallpaper i think

[sweet oak]

Nice nice

[sweet oak]

Rayquaza

[cold bloom]

not the 8bit one

but yeah I love it

[sweet oak]

I always was more of a sceptile fan

[cold bloom]

fair

Have this one too

[snow flint]

Ok ya i feel like hotswap would be safe choice so i can try out different switches

[cold bloom]

that's also why i went with the avocado one, but I'd love to learn to solder and get the weirdflex one someday

[sweet oak]

Too many good pokemon wallpapers man

[cold bloom]

I know I could do it just have never tried, my dad kinda taught me a few times but would have to get the stuff

[snow flint]

ya i only solder when i have too. its worth getting some basic gear and learning how to solder comes in handy

[snow flint]

I bought the salvation since get it without pcb for only $168 with discounts from ashkeebs. could have saved another $25 if got b stock. the avocado is only another $50

@cold bloom i got the pbtfans neon r2 yesterday

[gleaming crow]

Is the difference in acoustics between a leaf spring mount and a standard tray mount significant?

[uneven cradle]

Dam bro sneezed on the keycaps before sending them through

[calm pulsar]

lmao

[knotty iron]

i would love to see clear on black or dark gray xray

[snow flint]

i got sparkly version just for fun. buying th ex rays when they release on the 31st.

@knotty iron ya that look nice. Here is pic of the kabuki-cho r2

[cold bloom]

yeah I got mine from ashkeebs too, I didn't use the email discount tho lol but I got my switches and pcb on the canada day sale

[knotty iron]

cool

[cold bloom]

I love pbt fans translucent caps

I have my vior set on my wooting/tofu rn

[cold bloom]

yeah I def want to, I know the basics just gotta practice

[snow flint]

Nice! there shipping is pretty good price. Usually when bought stuff from cananda shipping was so expensive from small retailers

[snow flint]

ya some of my solder jobs look lttl rough at times not very consistant yet, dont solder enough but it gets the job done. i need to get one of those fans

[sonic ridge]

might as well donate the money to me goddamn 💀 '

[snow flint]

I got 3 different jobs im working on right now , bouncing back n forth between them so i spoiled myself a lttl.

[low fiber]

Has anyone tried the gateron jade switches and is it worth it?

[marsh saffron]

Most people that swap switches go to these

They are amazing and definitely worth it

[low fiber]

I am getting the 80HE with the 2 lekker switches atm and I paid 25 bucks for it(the switches), idk if it’s worth it to pay an extra 25 euros to cancel the lekker 45 and instead of that get the gaterons

[marsh saffron]

Imo it definitely is

[snow flint]

its so worth it

[low fiber]

Should I get 70 or 90 of them?

[marsh saffron]

You need 90 for 80he

[hybrid cairn]

cute! have you considered getting a lighter colored / graphic mousepad? i think itd fit well

[low fiber]

But I can also use some lekker switches for the remaining 20 right?

[hybrid cairn]

whens the 80 shipping anyways, i think im in the batch right after the founders

[snow flint]

raw he are even better but only can buy direct from geon right now

[low fiber]

You can see it at your order

[elfin garnet]

https://geon.works/products/geon-raw-he-switch

[low fiber]

Batches have been pushed back cause of a flaw

[hybrid cairn]

it js says expidites shipping on my Shop app

[low fiber]

So it’ll take an extra month

[marsh saffron]

Don't use the shop app it sucks

[hybrid cairn]

ive heard theyre more bright / clacky sounding than the Jades. the "thockier" switch is the Jades im pretty sure

[hybrid cairn]

o k what should i use then

[marsh saffron]

Only thing it's useful for is keeping track of your tracking numbers

[marsh saffron]

The websites/couriers tracking pages

[low fiber]

@marsh saffron this is also possible right?

[marsh saffron]

I mean yeah but it would bother me if it was my keyboard

[hybrid cairn]

so do i go to the wooting site to see when the 80 ships?

[marsh saffron]

Wooting hub yes

[snow flint]

@hybrid cairn I'm in founders and it's ganna be forever

[hybrid cairn]

gotchu thx

[gleaming crow]

does anyone know what stabilizers i can use to replace the stock ones in my 60he with jades

with the pc plate

[marsh saffron]

Non + or +?

[hybrid cairn]

OCTOBER??? WASNT IT AUGUST FOR FOUNDERS BEFORE??????

[gleaming crow]

non +

[marsh saffron]

Idk then

I don't need new stabs for my non + with jades

[low fiber]

I am already waiting 5-6 months so an extra added month doesn’t even matter to me at this point😂, I just want it to be good

[gleaming crow]

my backspace is so loud

idk why

its hand lubed

[snow flint]

im using gateron ink v2 pros 60he + pcb

[low fiber]

Was yeah now it’s end September begin October for me

[marsh saffron]

Dang, mines the best sounding one of all my stabs lol

[gleaming crow]

what case you got?

[marsh saffron]

Tofu redux

[hybrid cairn]

at this rate im gna get it in 2025

[marsh saffron]

Friction mounted with silicone sandwich

[gleaming crow]

what foam are you using for the case

[snow flint]

i know it better be

[marsh saffron]

Tofu foam, + I used medical tape to dampen the posts where it touches pcb

[hybrid cairn]

i js want some pure white rbgs man

[gleaming crow]

do you have the brass weight?

[marsh saffron]

Yeah

[low fiber]

Wait so the gateron jade switches are the best sounding switches for the wooting that are out rn?

[snow flint]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMh8UM3GKq8

[hybrid cairn]

jades = more bassy, slight stem wooble

Raw HE from Geon = more clacky / bright, less stem wobble

wtvr u prefer

[hybrid cairn]

i am gna commit die

[prime orbit]

ulx vs v3 pro vs beast x max

[digital vale]

beast x max

[marsh saffron]

Ulx🤢

Beastx max for sure

[digital vale]

ulx terrible qc, v3 had sensor problems not sure if fixed, beast x max solid

[prime orbit]

or anything else

v3 pro did?

damn

keep hearing its the best rn

[marsh saffron]

Beastx max is a very very good choice

Wish I went with it over my beastx mini because of my hand size

But I was impulsive

[digital vale]

i got the fabolous x beast in black, been good so far

[marsh saffron]

Those look so nice but we're so expensive for me

[prime orbit]

So confirmed next mouse is beast x max

cuz i was gonna do the new ulx in sep

but uh

yeah that might be an all hype purchase lmao

[polar girder]

Id probably go v3 out of those 3

But that’s just me

I kinda like razer mice

[prime orbit]

razer software tho

idkkk

[gleaming crow]

i've had the ulx and v3 pro, v3 pro is def better imo

[hybrid cairn]

if you can ignore some software hiccups their mice are some of the best on the market rn

[prime orbit]

How is lamzu?

i see them a lot

[hybrid cairn]

a super good lower cost option

[prime orbit]

Sora v2?

[snow flint]

i already got raw he and more swicthes for the 80he when ever it shows up and some new gmk key caps and stabs, keebtape ready to mod it day 1. now hoping some one will make some fr4, pom, carbo fiber plates for it.

[hybrid cairn]

also an alright mouse

but out of the two id go lamzu instead of sora

unless u like the sora shape more

[polar girder]

I just install synapse, set settings, uninstall synapse and never look back

[prime orbit]

No meme my fav shape is the ULX Large

so uhhhh

[hybrid cairn]

i use macros so i keep it installed

[prime orbit]

wish FM was better QC wise

it would be an easy choice for me

[hybrid cairn]

if you love that shape that much then you can get it and pray u get a good QC one

or if it isnt just keep sending it back and getting new units until u get a good quality one

[prime orbit]

I mean i did hear that you can send it in to get fixed

Yeah lmao

i think ill do the beast x max next tho

since ulx isnt till sep+

[hybrid cairn]

alright man, i wish u luck on the quality one

but me personally if u like that shape that much id wait

[prime orbit]

beast x max is very close right?

v3 pro too

why i said those 3 first lmao

[hybrid cairn]

some people take notice of small details during use

im not sure if you are one of those people

but if you arent then i see no harm

[prime orbit]

nah not really

just that my mouse is too small now

op18k

[granite comet]

pulsar x2 is amazing imo and x2h mini is also very fun

[hybrid cairn]

bro got thicc hands

[polar girder]

Op1 8k so narrow

Pretty small

[hybrid cairn]

thats true

[prime orbit]

actually i have small hands

i just use palm

[hybrid cairn]

ahhhhhhh

gotchu

can u teach me how to aim with my arm i deadass cant lmaoooo

anyways for palm isnt ambi a better feel?

instead of ergo

[hybrid cairn]

but yeah if u have small hands any of those mice should feel alright to you

[hybrid cairn]

yooo whats that site

thats so useful

[prime orbit]

eloshapes

[hybrid cairn]

dope

[prime orbit]

yeah v3 is too heavy i think

for me

ill do the beast x max

[hybrid cairn]

isnt it like 55 grams?

[polar girder]

https://pmm.gg/products/vortex-8k?variant=44754899599625

[prime orbit]

54

[hybrid cairn]

hm

[prime orbit]

?

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s way too heavy

[polar girder]

Same shape as ULX

[hybrid cairn]

💀

ive nvr met people that say 54 grams was too heavy thats interesting

if u want a lighter mouse then finalmouse makes a super light on

[hybrid cairn]

its like under 40 grams

[polar girder]

I had to cut the weight of vv2 pro in half

[hybrid cairn]

fingertip mouse prime

[polar girder]

So I got that shell

lol yeah that’s just my backup

[hybrid cairn]

i gotta get one of these

isnt it like under 20 grams?

[prime orbit]

after adding like 2 things it went to like $200 LMAOO

[polar girder]

Got this for daily

[hybrid cairn]

its the price for lightness

[hybrid cairn]

a work of art right there

[prime orbit]

is that zeromouse?]

[hybrid cairn]

his looks like a variation, not the actual thing

i believe he took inspiration from it

[hybrid cairn]

this is the zero mouse^

[polar girder]

This is zeromouse

Pretty sure

Yeah

[hybrid cairn]

ye

[polar girder]

The one I posted is the Dathper frame

With M3K PCB

Lolz

[hybrid cairn]

lmao nice

[prime orbit]

i need ulx shape

v3 pro internals

think i can do it LMAO

[hybrid cairn]

get both and stich em together

[prime orbit]

is that even possible tho

[hybrid cairn]

goodluck to both u and your wallet

[prime orbit]

to like

mod internals

[hybrid cairn]

techically

yes

u just have to be good at it

[prime orbit]

damn

[hybrid cairn]

and make sure theres enough space in the ULX to fit the v3 internals

[prime orbit]

rip

[hybrid cairn]

:)

[prime orbit]

yeah im scared to even do like mods on wooting

maybe i wont do that lmao

[hybrid cairn]

nahh u got this frfr

[calm pulsar]

I love my v2 pro but dang v3 pro is ugly

[hybrid cairn]

not ugly just not as unique / spikey as the usual vipers

or do u mean the deathadders?

[calm pulsar]

no, the viper

[hybrid cairn]

yeah

it def dosent look like most vipers

[calm pulsar]

v3 is kinda like ambidextrous deathadder

[hybrid cairn]

thats what the vipers were supposed to be lol

smaller and ambi

[marsh saffron]

optimums? i think they are like 24-26g

[hybrid cairn]

nah no way

[calm pulsar]

im looking at lamzu maya currently, its like a rounded viper v2 pro to me, kinda cool

[hybrid cairn]

check it its 29 somehow? at least on earlier variations

[marsh saffron]

that was his prototype iirc

[fluid ravine]

I swear bigsly you got the most interesting light weight half eaten up mouse's I've been seeing

[hybrid cairn]

im sure as he keeps getting closer to a non-prototype version itll keep getting lighter and lighter

[hybrid cairn]

wat is that

[marsh saffron]

not mine, i dont know the name. there are 30 of them in the world iirc and its 22g full titanium

it was made by a danish engineer

[fluid ravine]

Tf is that

[hybrid cairn]

but what is it

[marsh saffron]

you hold it similar to how you hold a pen

its a mouse

[fluid ravine]

What the flip

[marsh saffron]

its 4k polling, click latency just below op18k

[hybrid cairn]

i dont understand how youd use that

[polar girder]

Yeah

[fluid ravine]

💀💀💀💀

[marsh saffron]

you hold it like a pen

[hybrid cairn]

that is gna be impossible for fps, osu players must love it tho

[polar girder]

The cable is coming out the back

[marsh saffron]

one of the community managers of aimlabs owns it

he uses it for fps and loves it

he says aiming is like drawing

[hybrid cairn]

ok let me rephrase

[marsh saffron]

and it doesnt hurt his wrist ever unlike other mice

[calm pulsar]

you can draw a dick on enemy's forehead

[marsh saffron]

for him*

he says tracking feels incredible on it

[hybrid cairn]

its going to be impossible to use for normal peopple who dont play osu to use

[polar girder]

With your bullets

[marsh saffron]

i dont know what its called but ive seen/talked to 3 people who have them

[hybrid cairn]

i find that hard to believe

[polar girder]

Idk what this means. I play FPS exclusively and am interested to use it

[marsh saffron]

i mean, i dont

you literally hold it similar to a pen

[hybrid cairn]

im js saying the learning curve for people who dont play pen is gna be hella steep

[marsh saffron]

your wrist doesnt sit flat like with usual mice, honestly seems much more ergonomic for your wrist to me

[hybrid cairn]

idk im left handed and using pens / pencils is pain

[marsh saffron]

im left handed, but use my right for writing/using mice

[hybrid cairn]

so idk how u right handed people feel when u write

[polar girder]

Yeah I mean there’s always a learning curve when making fundamental changes like that. But the aiming feels so natural it’s a much less steep curve than one might think

[hybrid cairn]

i only use it for mice, not for writing so idk how it feels

[hybrid cairn]

if its as good as is advertised why havent more people started makn em for fps?

[marsh saffron]

i was never taught how to write with my left because my school never accounted for it

[polar girder]

Cuz it costs way much to make and no one gonna buy that shit lol

[hybrid cairn]

i just started it naturally and no one ever stopped me

[polar girder]

I mean it’s fine if you don’t like it tho. All good lol

[hybrid cairn]

it wouldnt cost that much more as long as it isnt made out of metal lmao

[marsh saffron]

that one i posted is full titanium

[hybrid cairn]

my brain simply cannot understand how it can be comfy and good

[polar girder]

I mean these specialized mouse are only getting more extreme

[hybrid cairn]

ye ik

[polar girder]

Just like that bro

Easy

[marsh saffron]

exactly

[polar girder]

Pinky dangles

[marsh saffron]

its like holding a pen with a slightly wider grip

seems very comfortable, especially for the wrist

[hybrid cairn]

yes yes ik but i write left handed so all that position feels to me is suffering

[marsh saffron]

well yeah that mouse is clearly made for right handed aiming

[polar girder]

lol yeah a lefty is fucked with that mouse

[hybrid cairn]

haha yeah

ik need to learn how to "write" with my write hand if i used it

[marsh saffron]

thank god im ambidextrous

all left handed mice ive seen suckkk

[polar girder]

But I don’t aim with both hands so I’m out without an ambidextrous mice

[hybrid cairn]

maybe itll become more mainstream later and ill give it a go

[calm pulsar]

any mice for italians? 🤌

[marsh saffron]

if the bindings for gaming was so fucked for left handed aiming id practice it

[hybrid cairn]

semi-ambi right? true ambi comes naturally

yeah m8 thats why i aim with my right hand too

[marsh saffron]

idk

[fluid ravine]

Any mice for British peepol

[hybrid cairn]

"people"

[fluid ravine]

Hoomans

[hybrid cairn]

kneeenderthalls

[fluid ravine]

[mossy rover]

who has dual stage springs for their he switches

where are dual stage springs available

[fluid ravine]

Wooting add a mouse chat

[calm pulsar]

aliexpress

[hybrid cairn]

numpad when

[mossy rover]

are they compatible w he switches tho? i thought you needed bigger springs than used for mx

[calm pulsar]

there are spings specifically for magnetic switches
here's a link, you gotta change the language tho
https://sl.aliexpress.ru/p?key=HYivs4W

[mossy rover]

o damn thanks

appreciate it

[calm pulsar]

I ordered both weights, should be here in a couple of days

black jade switches also have 2-stage preinstalled btw

but these switches are overpriced

[mossy rover]

how about raw switches how do ppl have the raw switches if they not out yet

[calm pulsar]

they are out

[mossy rover]

they shipped them out?

[calm pulsar]

I think the page just says preorder

[mossy rover]

oh okay

[calm pulsar]

there are sound tests in this discord already

check @harsh dove @fluid ravine

@cold bloom

they uploaded

geons have 1stage springs keep in mind

[fluid ravine]

AHHH

I've been summoned again

[mossy rover]

yeah i heard a few of them they sound good

i was planning on putting the dual stage springs in them

[fluid ravine]

#1261492527433781320 message

[calm pulsar]

yeah that would probably be the best available switch imo

[fluid ravine]

Alright ping me again if you need anything

[calm pulsar]

I like 2stages

[hybrid cairn]

yoo can u tell me if those Raws got a thockier sound than the jades?

[fluid ravine]

I have been pinged

[fluid ravine]

🙅

[hybrid cairn]

sadge, the jades it is

when thocky HE switch ;-;

[fluid ravine]

Not how it works lol

[mossy rover]

i havent been looking in this discord for a while last time the best films for switches were the geon switch films have there been any new films that fit better?

[fluid ravine]

Also not how it works

[hybrid cairn]

wdym

??

[fluid ravine]

Both Jades and RAW HE are like a long pole sounding switch

[calm pulsar]

tbh I think good switches dont need films and even suffer from them, cause the tolerances on, e.g. geons are very good

[fluid ravine]

You need a neautral/lower pitch sounding switch

Like the open bottom housings

Lekkers, ks20, ks20u, GUGU Black Knights etc

They're 4mm

[mossy rover]

yeah i have jades w films in them they sound decent but im assuming the raws prolly eliminate the chatter completely right

[calm pulsar]

yeah raws have way better tolerances

[hybrid cairn]

yeah ik, im just taking the "thockier" of the two even tho neither of them are thocky

[fluid ravine]

Yet these themselves won't be thocky, you need to do some mods or tune the board with plates, foams, and other stuff to get the desire thock

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/lucas-viana-sleeping-asleep-shocked-woke-up-gif-16027490

[hybrid cairn]

yknow i looked at the ks20u and it didnt seem as bassy as the jades

[mossy rover]

nice appreciate you answering all my questions lmao i been out of the loop for all the new he switches

[fluid ravine]

Go back to sleep

[calm pulsar]

when you get pinged again cause of the good sound tests lul

[fluid ravine]

Lul

[fluid ravine]

Both switches have abt the same pitch

Very similar

[calm pulsar]

glad to help
also here's me messing with my jades, I put black knight housing on them and it is very tight (sometimes too tight), but I hope to achieve better tolerances this way

but with geon raws and 2stage springs you're basically set

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[knotty iron]

what type of 60% are most 60% kbs called again

[hybrid cairn]

im aware its just that in my opinion the raws have more of a clack to them

[polar girder]

WK?

[calm pulsar]

I think some people said that geons have a bit softer bottom out, even though they are clacky like jades

[mossy rover]

wow those actually sound really crisp

the black knights are open bottom right?

[knotty iron]

is it called GH60 style?

[fluid ravine]

Ig, I find them really similar, but I'm mostly on the lookout for the cleaner sounding, pitch can be tuned with the plate foams. Acting as sound acoustic modifiers

[calm pulsar]

yup, but here im using bottom housing from black jades, so this switch on the video is closed bottom

I just took the upper housing from black knights

[hybrid cairn]

yeah so far all HE switches have been more clack than thock w/ barely any bass to them. imo the jades have a little more bass than the rest but nothing is outwardly a thocky switch

[fluid ravine]

Yea like GH60 and DZ60

Pok3r as well but idk how popular those are

[mossy rover]

dang thats pretty nice but i think frankenswitches are a bit too much work for me LOL

[hybrid cairn]

that makes sense. ive heard that the jades are relatively clear so im sure itll work with them... probably

[fluid ravine]

And moni

[calm pulsar]

true, which is why geons are the way to go

I will be buying them too once they are more available lul

but I will test this frankenswtich out for sure

[mossy rover]

is neo lavenders on the same level as raws?

[harsh dove]

No

[mossy rover]

when i heard qwertykey's sound test of them they sounded so good but ppl said they are just a jade recolor

[harsh dove]

They're not a jade recolor

[fluid ravine]

Yeah I was abt to say wtf

[mossy rover]

what are they?

whats diff between them

[fluid ravine]

Just a different switch

Hollup

Nylon top and bottom

Jade's are PC top and nylon bottom

Travel distance 3.8mm

Jade's 3.4-3.5mm

[calm pulsar]

lavenders are a bit diff, but I'd guess that geons are still a step forward from jades/lavenders

[mossy rover]

yeah there was a vid on bilibili where they sounded so good do they actually sound like that on a wooting?

[harsh dove]

Jades also have better tolerance than Neo Lavenders

and Neo Lavenders are made by Grain Gold, Jades are made by Gateron

[fluid ravine]

Alr ima cya in a bit, going home from a family party

[calm pulsar]

yeah geon gotta put raws on AE for me
or else

[harsh dove]

Lavenders are basically closed bottom Raptors

[mossy rover]

yeah ill prolly just cop the raws when they are available for the tight tolerances then

[cold bloom]

https://geon.works/products/geon-raw-he-switch?srsltid=AfmBOoq_m3Ckv-41yWFsqGnVXk7USg0LJcXOlZX8k6DTfUMhSdx3bzXE most of us got ours here

the shipping was surprisingly fast

[fluid ravine]

2 days for me

[hybrid cairn]

should i return the jades that are coming with my 80he for those?

actually is that even an option

[calm pulsar]

are they an additional purchase or do they come instead of lekkers?

lekkers on 80he wilil be v2s, which will be a switch with good tolerances, if you like thock you may consider them

[hybrid cairn]

i bought the 80he in separate pieces without the keycaps

when i was selecting what i wanted i clicked jades

[calm pulsar]

hmm I think it is possible to simply cancel jades, but your best bet is just emailing wooting

[hybrid cairn]

alright ill give it a go later

[snow flint]

ya it was I got them in 2 days.

Sheeeesh

1k polling tho. Obsolete.

[calm pulsar]

hmm, for now feels like just another HE keyboard, still probably not as good as wootie in terms of firmware features and customizability

but might be cool for those who disliked 80he layout

[calm pulsar]

this seems like the ks-20 dual rail that is available from gateron

[polar girder]

Right

[calm pulsar]

funny how gameplay clips do not correspond with the actuation showcasing

[polar girder]

Yeah. Need a silicone injected top housing lol

[calm pulsar]

just a couple of scuffed kills

[polar girder]

Maybe bottom housing too lol

Bottom might be too much tho

[calm pulsar]

I wonder if silicon interferes with magnet force more than even plastic on closed bottom switches

[polar girder]

Right

Yeah probably only top housing need it

[flat cobalt]

What force did you go with?

[cold bloom]

60g

[magic roost]

what’s the best place to buy keycaps from?

[rapid sedge]

ya just put my order on hold for now untill they get back to me by email idk how long it usually takes

[fluid ravine]

I'm home!

So what we on abt now :^

[calm pulsar]

well im about to open these choccy croissants

[polar girder]

Grind some CS2

I’m always top fragging in bottom lobbies

[copper glade]

[calm pulsar]

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

well im abt to hop on val to play with my nephew :>

[polar girder]

Nice GLHF

I’ve always kind of very faintly teased by Valo. But never actually played

[untold wigeon]

Probably by Monday

[polar girder]

I think knight stabs will be in stock soon

[fluid ravine]

I tried CS2 yesterday after like 6 months

[rapid sedge]

Then we change that order🙏 respect man thank you

[fluid ravine]

I felt comfortable playing

[polar girder]

I’m excited to get those and new keycaps and then chill on the keyboard ish for a bit

[flat cobalt]

I wanna try the 40 -3- but wanna wait for the Jades to come in first

[polar girder]

Yeah CS2 is a great game.

[fluid ravine]

I didn't know what was going on but the mechanics and everything felt comfortable to play

[polar girder]

Just the anticheat, matchmaking, community and rank system all suck

[calm pulsar]

I want to get into cs2, on faceit

[fluid ravine]

LOL

[prisma stump]

Grrrr!! I need all 1 Brazilian hz for this to be functional!1!1!!

[polar girder]

Yeah I need to start playing faceit more

[untold wigeon]

Yep no worries

[flat cobalt]

I had asked about the Pink Jades recently but someone told me they weren't compatible with the wooting60 He+ but they're on this list

[prisma stump]

What in the gekk am I looking at

I meant he’ll

He’ll

Hell

[flat cobalt]

got posted afew dayss ago lol

[calm pulsar]

but it says in red not compatible, no?

or which switch you're talking abt

[flat cobalt]

the pink jades

Cuxiu

[prisma stump]

Are these compatible switches?

[calm pulsar]

well these are just a jade recolor, why would they be incompatible

[flat cobalt]

Good good

[flat cobalt]

yeh they were helping someone out with the 60HE

[calm pulsar]

maybe someone replied to you regarding this one, which is a pink looking jade, but this is a whole diff verison

[flat cobalt]

Ooooooh!

Thank you c:

Might get those pink Jades -3- they look cuter than the green

[devout torrent]

these are not wooting compatible

fyi

there is a wooting compatible version coming though

[devout torrent]

they are not just a recolor

they use a different magnet

[flat cobalt]

Ahhhhh

ty ty vv

[calm pulsar]

which switch are you talking about

[devout torrent]

jade mini e

[calm pulsar]

well they were asking about a diff switch

[devout torrent]

ahh gotcha

my mistake

[sharp yarrow]

wait wouldnt the best switches performance wise be the L45s?

[calm pulsar]

@flat cobalt just get geon raws to avoid confusion

[flat cobalt]

that's fair vv

[copper glade]

about to buy a wooting 60he+, any thing u would recommend for the keyboard. And also are their any promo codes?

[marsh saffron]

No

Spring weight doesn't matter

[sharp yarrow]

oh

then what would be?

[marsh saffron]

It doesn't matter

The switches don't change the performance

So long as they have compatible magnet strength

[calm pulsar]

yeah ppl need to understand that with hall effect keyboards, spring weight doesnt matter

even on mechs it doesnt really matter, it's just a feeling difference

[cold bloom]

Deskmat or no deskmat lol

[fluid ravine]

@harsh dove holy FAK

[harsh dove]

greasy

[fluid ravine]

No desk mat looks cleaner but desk may for sound

[cold bloom]

yeah I find I can never get used to my desk without it lmao

[fluid ravine]

Embracing the shine

[cold bloom]

patina*

[fluid ravine]

Like I mean it looks fine, shines in the light but damn

[fluid ravine]

My T has the most shine cus I be spraying the most as well

[cold bloom]

SEE

LMAO

[fluid ravine]

[cold bloom]

I always hit it super fast after a clutch kill too

[fluid ravine]

[cold bloom]

like look down spray

knife out

spam knife

[fluid ravine]

REAL LMFAO

[cold bloom]

but my t is just far enough away I always hit the bottom left

[fluid ravine]

Yeah the shine is mostly on the left for me

[cold bloom]

makes sense

[harsh dove]

Good

Makes it feel better

[fluid ravine]

I mean yeah I agree I like the way it look and feel

Overall it's been like a month? Since I bought this set

DOC said for him it usually takes like 2 weeks for them to shine

I was prepared

Alr ya boi gonna go now

there's 2 variants right?

I've never been a huge kailh fan myself, I really like the new geon Raw HE switches

[gilded hinge]

there's like 5

I think i've seen those kailhs tho

[gilded hinge]

from the vid here it soudns ok

even tho its only 5 seconds with a lot of background noise

[cold bloom]

yeah not bad tbh

the first ones are hard to compare cause they press them so briefly

maybe deeper?

also idk which switch the first one is lol

[gilded hinge]

idrk either

[cold bloom]

both have like 2-3 in the photos tbh

so idk lol

they all look like 3.8mm from the ones that I can read anyway lol

this one's silent

they say in the second one that it sounds like mahjong

so maybe the jade coloured one?

[gilded hinge]

maybe

wait no the jade colored one is silent

reading the card

[cold bloom]

The Aohazu axis has a Switch Gasket mount and sounds a lot like mahjong.

this is the translation

of the second tweet

[devout torrent]

This is kailh mistral, not silent

[gilded hinge]

i think this one is

at least thats what the translation says

[harsh dove]

These are from their Source Series, these are Kailh Flames, there’s also Kailh Mistrals, which I’ve tested and do not work with Wooting

[gilded hinge]

gg

does the raw he still have the rattly top out sound like the jades

[harsh dove]

No

[gilded hinge]

fkkk the shipping is like $30

[copper glade]

bum do bum bum dowa

[spare stirrup]

Is there a way to friction mount 60he+ module into tofu60 redux without modifying the case or more importantly the pcb?

[rustic tapir]

where can i get different straps for whooting?

[tame fox]

Is wooting compatible with XDA profile keycaps? says its compatible with MX switches, cherry, razer etc

[uneven cradle]

yes

[jovial urchin]

Probably Etsy

[polar girder]

Yes. Just buy an o-ring that fits and it basically seats in between the PCB and Plate

[copper glade]

aye anyone know a good keycap set i can buy for the wooting from aliexpress, i also wanna get like a cool resin keycap for my esc key or smth from there, lmk if u got any suggestions

[granite comet]

so how much better are the jades over the 60s and what springs feel the best?

[stark osprey]

You will have to lose the screw-in stabs in order to do that: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VEZ7O3GX_j8

[spare stirrup]

Yeah I know already bought all the stuff needed just saw many people file down the stand offs or part of pcb and got scared lil bit. I will test it out when I'm back home in few days. I just hope that the o-ring I bought is good size.

[untold wigeon]

Different sound and feel. Springs are totally subjective

[tawny bough]

Yo quick question does anyone know any website to get good wooden keycaps from???? to match to my fractal north case ISO DE layout

[bronze grove]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/
Might want to ask here. The keycap market is constantly in flux, and who offers what where can be hard to keep track of.

[paper bloom]

If ur from asia u can check ktechs from shopee

[gaunt marten]

U can still mount it with screw ins, u just need a very specific orings

Graveshift ones iirc

U can search the chat history

[stark osprey]

You sure about that? Can you link me to someone using it with screw-ins? Cause this guy couldn't do it: #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[gaunt marten]

he probably got med

[paper bloom]

What mic u using?

[polar girder]

Tired of this bulky clunky cheap spring arm

[sweet oak]

I use the psa1+ personally

[paper bloom]

im running the Psa1+ With the ATH 2020 USB X

USB C variant than the XLR

[polar girder]

Fifine k688 I think

[sweet oak]

My previous arm didn’t reach the full length of my desk and started eating away at the wood

[paper bloom]

I recommend u get the PSa1+

Its a lasts a lifetime

[polar girder]

Tall

[sweet oak]

Psa1+ was a very good upgrade in my case. Rubber base wont eat at my table

[paper bloom]

BUT keep in mind it isnt a low profile

So you gotta angle it in a long distance

Method

So it is easier

[sweet oak]

And can tuck it away for minimal space usage

[paper bloom]

^^

[polar girder]

Yeah idk I have small desk

And monitor while gaming is in my face

The scissor style is kind of cumbersome

[barren abyss]

the wall and the lighting make it seem like a prison cell... With a PC ^^

I don’t need a new desk lol

Just a mic arm

And I also have to lean over that corner to turn PC on

So LP seems nice

[polar girder]

Although the desk is ass. But I’m chilling for now lol

[paper bloom]

@polar girder im saying ur space is

Get the psa1+

[fluid ravine]

It's 11am for me lol

[fluid ravine]

Same

Need a boom arm upgrade as well

[rocky folio]

How do i burger mount i cannot find any vid on yt

[polar girder]

Rhode PSA1+ or Elgato LP???

[fluid ravine]

Both are different profile no?

[polar girder]

Correct

Which is better

I’m thinking LP

[untold wigeon]

Switching out the Cerakeys for the GMK keycaps!

[rain harbor]

I plan to purchase 60he+ module and I'm wondering are the factory stabs any good? If not which ones are recommended to purchase? Tx? Should I opt for plate mount or get the screw ins?

[harsh dove]

I mounted my tofu with screw ins

[untold wigeon]

Indigo or lavender spacebar?

[true patrol]

if you're purchasing a 60he+ module they are screw-in
plate mount is on the original 60he and preassembled 60he+

[polar girder]

Plate mount is also preassembled 60HE+

[stark osprey]

Yeah someone linked me to it already, thanks though. Happy with the burger, was just curious if it could be done.

[polar girder]

Only module gets screw in stock

[true patrol]

good catch

[rain harbor]

as far as i understand pc plate allows to mount both

my question is tho are these factory screw ins any good

or they're upgrade worthy

[true patrol]

from what I've seen they're fine with some tuning but if you are the kind of person who orders/lubes stabs you might as well get some aftermarket ones for the peace of mind

[harsh dove]

Yeah my b, I noticed they linked it to you after reading that

[rain harbor]

I think pc mounted stabs also allow for the oring mount inside tofu redux, but I'm not sure

[harsh dove]

You can mount with screw ins, clip ins, or plate mount

[true patrol]

wish I could have given tofu redux a fair try...mine came warped and at that point I said screw it and found another frog mini to do that instead

[rain harbor]

do you know if the small burger mount orings are in the box with module?

[harsh dove]

They are not the same thing, they just come with these adhesive silicone standoff covers

[rain harbor]

and what is the most preferrable way of putting module into case?

I want to avoid metallic sound

[true patrol]

depends on preference tbh, I'd try a few different mounts if you can

[harsh dove]

If you’re buying a tray mount case then most people like to friction mount it

[rain harbor]

by friction mount you mean that large oring that goes inbetween plate and pcb right?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[rain harbor]

do you know size of the oring to get?

also aren't the screw in stabs blocking this type of mount? I'm pretty sure I've seen video showing that

[stark osprey]

https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Silicone-Ring-1-5mm-Gasket/dp/B08F2HPLG3/ref=sw_img_d_ci_mcx_mr_huc_d_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B08F2HPLG3&pd_rd_w=76czt&content-id=amzn1.sym.a123dabd-579f-458a-bf60-13572ec3c798%3Aamzn1.symc.999d104c-4b3c-4a85-8d98-39bb071111d2&pf_rd_p=a123dabd-579f-458a-bf60-13572ec3c798&pf_rd_r=P4JNQ9RDCAS565RJM7CN&pd_rd_wg=sOwHU&pd_rd_r=5aec5c5e-1c33-41c7-ac20-7c097c9cf416

I use those ones

[rain harbor]

but this is for burger mount not friction mount

[stark osprey]

Oh my bad, read wrong, yes they are for burger.

[harsh dove]

If you get screw ins, get S-size from Graveshift, if you get clip ins or plate mount, get M-size

[rain harbor]

thanks anyways, which size do you recommend tho?

[harsh dove]

https://graveshift.com/products/graveshift-m-o-rings

[stark osprey]

The 4mm x 1mm x 1.5mm

[rain harbor]

oof the shipping cost to poland is insane 😦

it's triple the price of oring

[rain harbor]

Ty

[harsh dove]

https://cannonkeys.com/products/bakeneko-o-rings

What about these

Shipping too much too?

[rain harbor]

yeah still super expensive

I'll try to find them locally somewhere

[polar girder]

The plate is compatible, yeah. But need the PCB to also be compatible for screw in tho

[rain harbor]

I'm getting the module it's both compatible with screw ins and plate mount

[polar girder]

Yeah you’re good. Stock screw ins are solid

[rain harbor]

yeah I think I will just use it for now and see if I like it or not instead of buying something before even testing

[polar girder]

Agreed.

[rain harbor]

I would really like to find that oring for friction mount somewhere in europe tho

[harsh dove]

https://keebcats.co.uk/products/graveshift-medium-o-rings

Any better?

[rain harbor]

no LMFAO

uk no longer in europe haha

this is fucking insane

to say at least

[harsh dove]

Lmao

Damn

https://cafege.com.au/products/viton-gummy-o-ring

[rain harbor]

bro this is australia

I'm not even checking

i could probably buy a car solely by cost of the shipping

[stark osprey]

Yeah those gummy o-rings super specific size, sucks hard to find locally for you. The burger orings I've actually seen at local hardware stores lol

[rain harbor]

all I need is the fi size of the oring I need to buy

and I can go to any hardware/plunger store and buy this

[harsh dove]

Hold on

[rain harbor]

I think I'll just burger mount it and forget about it at this point lol

[rain harbor]

o ye

[harsh dove]

Hardness is personal preference

Doesn’t have to be 55A

I use 40A

[rain harbor]

I have found NBR 70

whatever it means

[harsh dove]

No idea

[rain harbor]

and 3.5mm thickness for plate mount i guess

[harsh dove]

Yeah this is going to be for clip ins or plate mount

[rain harbor]

soo maybe 2.5?

[harsh dove]

Yeah just needs to be thinner for screw ins

Same size though

[rain harbor]

yeah

[true patrol]

NBR is a material, I believe NBR 70 means the hardness is 70A

[harsh dove]

Would make sense

[rain harbor]

yeah

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah just nitrile rubber

[rain harbor]

I guess it's just going to be stiffer experience right?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[gleaming crow]

does anyone have the blue salvation case?

i wanna know if the color is just as good in person

[rain harbor]

so yeah I have found pack of two for 12 usd

185x2.5

if someone has the graveshift S size and could measure the thickness

I think I'd have all info

[true patrol]

not that it matters too much, but I haven't known novelkeys photos to look different to the product

now, of course that depends on whether your monitor is displaying accurately and all that

[rain harbor]

so 70A is still usable right?

[true patrol]

yeah that should be fine

[harsh dove]

https://imgur.com/a/wilba-tech-salvation-keyboard-kit-BQsqDmA

[gleaming crow]

exactly what i was looking for ty!

anyone have bad luck with the bstock?

[harsh dove]

Not personally

[gleaming crow]

okok

[harsh dove]

I got a black one on their Black Friday sale on Novelkeys

For like $220

Full kit

[gleaming crow]

thats pretty sweet

[harsh dove]

Yeah now they sell case only sometimes for like $180 I think

[rain harbor]

what sound dampening have u used in your 60he?

and which one of the attached silicone or poron produces nicer sound?

[harsh dove]

It's really personal preference and depends on plate material too, foam has it's place, I usually don't like it though, I'll either run silicone pad or nothing at all

[polar girder]

For the plate foam? Also try nothing

Yeah I ran all three at diff times and they all have their place

[untold wigeon]

Got the GmK Devoted set on. Bad iPhone video and I finally got a recording using the Shure microphone on my PC. Hopefully that works.

[fluid ravine]

Mb i just got home, if you were going to get the LP where are you gonna place it?

behind your monitor?

[gleaming crow]

lp all the way

i have it its pretty awesome

[untold wigeon]

What’s lp?

[fluid ravine]

I might get a low profile boom arm as well down the line

[fluid ravine]

Low Profile

Boom arm

[gleaming crow]

elgato low profile arm

[fluid ravine]

i have a cheap boom arm on the side right now xd

[untold wigeon]

Gotcha

[fluid ravine]

thinking of puting a LP behind the monitor swinging under and out

[rocky folio]

Guys how can i do a burger mount mod on a 60he module in a tofu60 redux ?

[polar girder]

No. Side. Same place as current

[fluid ravine]

Got a pic?

Is it like on your left?

[untold wigeon]

I keep mine on my left above my head

[polar girder]

I bring it around when I pull monitor front and middle

[fluid ravine]

ah then yeah ig you could go for it then

I think i would put the PSA1+ like on the top left

or well even maybe the LP idk

[polar girder]

My monitor is right in my face while gaming tho

[fluid ravine]

oh damn

so like you would have the mic under you or what not?

or like under to the side

facing like a 45 degree angle?

[polar girder]

And it’s type of mic I need close to my mouth

Yeah

[fluid ravine]

dynamic ye

[polar girder]

That’s why I like the side so I don’t have to come up and over the screen

[fluid ravine]

yeah i have mine like this

like a hand size away from my mouth

[fluid ravine]

Alr well then ye LP it is

[granite comet]

my mic sits about 3 inches to the right of my main monitor and about 1inch back from the monitor still sounds fine

[polar girder]

Oh yeah we have same mic lol

[fluid ravine]

yurrr

One thing I don't like abt the mic is the shock mount

Not a big fan of it at all

[polar girder]

Yeah same

I was just looking up other shock mounts last night lol

[fluid ravine]

[untold wigeon]

I have the radius 3 shock mount and the compass boom arm on my Shure Mv7

yeah same but im just showing that you could do this

Theres a chance they can be fake right

Never heard of counterfeit switches tho lol

[untold wigeon]

I wouldn’t think so. Other customers seem satisfied. Plus Amazon has a great return policy if you don’t like them

[polar girder]

Looks solid

[untold wigeon]

Yeah and the tension is great. Stays wherever I put it

[polar girder]

Isn’t the shock mount on ours like part of the mic tho?

I haven’t even looked to see if I can take it off

[fluid ravine]

you can take it off

[delicate crest]

theres another jade on their site that says dual-rail, what does that mean

[fluid ravine]

gotta remove the rubber bands that is connecting the thing around it then unscrew the ring that is on the mic

and done

[polar girder]

Nice

Yeah a new shock mount and new arm would go hard

[granite comet]

Try and find a local store maybe?

[paper crag]

Folks

Do I need to buy anything extra to do a burger mount or no?

[uneven cradle]

The o rings to go onto the screws

[polar girder]

Or maybe shock mounts are just Snake oil

Hmmm

[cold bloom]

LP arm you have to adjust with the screws, psa1+ you can adjust on the fly just by moving the mic

Like you gotta retension the hand screws everytime you wanna move it more than just back and forth on your desk

If you want more height or less etc you gotta unscrew it each time

But that’s fine for some who leave it in one spot once it’s set, and just swivel it away when not in use

Shock mounts are cool but if you’re not doing a ton of stuff that involves movement like playing instruments etc I don’t think it’s a huge deal breaker, probably more important to make sure your mic has a solid pop filter

[polar girder]

The new one has like a little thumb screw thing. But yeah that’s lame

[civic yacht]

Currently have a ducky 1 3 sf, and i was planning on modding it after my wooting came in. But idk what to do with it. I want smooth switchess and dont really know waht to look fort

[harsh dove]

Mine sits like this

[paper crag]

What do I Google to find these o rings

You speak of

Wanna get em on Amazon ideally for prime shipping

I don't live in the US but these were posted earlier

Badseedtech also had a video on it and he links some in the comments https://youtu.be/igy_n3f7VeI

Would these work?

[paper crag]

Yeah same I live in the UK

this post seems useful

[fluid ravine]

What arm?

[quiet bay]

looks like an elgato low profile one

expensive ahh arm though

[calm pulsar]

me using the fifine included cheap ass arm

[sweet oak]

You do what you gotta do

[north plover]

is alumaze friction mountable?

[cold bloom]

yes with clip in stabs or plate mount, you gotta kinda work it in from the usb port side

badseed tech showed it briefly in his module video

[north plover]

oh sick ty

[cold bloom]

no problem

might be easier with a softer-ish oring?

like a 50a instead of 70a?

[harsh dove]

Elgato

[cold bloom]

I was pretty close to getting the elgato too, I just don't really have a spot I can mount it like yours easily and I find I move my mic around a lot when playing games lol

I can't sit still

I could try under my monitor like yours but idk if I have mine too low or not is what I was thinking

[prime orbit]

The LP is nice but i cant find a good place for mine. Always in the way lmao

[tawdry tree]

Switch magnet strengths (at bottom-out) were measured using the SayoDevice O3C V1.1 (sensor 1320 302D), with the unit of measurement being its “Raw Data.” A sample size of five for each switch was used, with the first and last switches measured twice to ensure accuracy. The Raw Value listed is the average of these five measurements. Although accurate, this was more a proof of concept than an attempt to document switch magnet strengths, which I plan to do sometime next week.

It’s clear that not everything is apparent in the Analog Monitor. Switches with stronger magnets don’t seem to hinder performance at all, whereas weaker magnets do. An interesting finding is that the KS-20Ts use a slightly stronger magnet, something that wasn’t apparent in the Analog Monitor either. I now question the reason behind the compensation stage because, as aggressive as it currently is, it seems quite unnecessary or even overkill.

If you have a Sayo and want to measure switches as well, feel free to DM me, and I’ll explain the testing method.

• Gateron:

• KS-20 W: 5726.4 (+0.30%)

• KS-20 O: 5747.8 (+0.68%)

• KS-20W (new): 5709.2 (baseline)

• KS-20T: 5560.6 (-2.60%)

• KS-20T P: 5433.2 (-4.83%)

• KS-20U W: 5756.6 (+0.83%)

• KS-20U O: 5580.4 (-2.26%)

• Grain Gold:

• Raptor HE: 5829.6 (+2.11%)

• Latenpow W: 6862.2 (+20.20%)

• Latenpow P: 6860.4 (+20.16%)

• Black Knight: 5645.4 (-1.12%)

• Raw HE: 5556.0 (-2.68%)

• Combi:

• KS-20 housing, KS-20T stem: 5923.4 (+3.75%)

• KS-20T housing, KS-20 stem: 5208.6 (-8.77%)

• KS-20T bottom housing, Black Knight top housing and stem: 5049.4 (-11.56%)

• Random (imprecise):

• Outemu Pink (beige): 6815.4 (+19.38%)

• Kailh Mistral: 4299.8 (-24.69%)

• Kailh Flame: 4312.2 (-24.47%)

[quiet bay]

ah dang so Raw HE hinders performance a bit ?

[tawdry tree]

No, Raw HE’s magnet is quite strong actually considering that’s their value while they only have a 3.5mm travel.

[quiet bay]

ooh ok I see

thanks for the testing, it's quite interesting

[calm pulsar]

Kailh one are all over the place

[tawdry tree]

Yeah I thought so too, no problem that’s why I wanted to try it.

[tawdry tree]

Funniest part about the Kailh’s is in their sheet it says an insanely high Gauss value. So really not sure what that’s all about.

3.6K compared to Lekker’s 900

🤣

[uneven cradle]

@harsh dove

[calm pulsar]

maybe in china the magnetic field is different so they make them accordingly

[runic flare]

does anyone of you have experience with ceramic keycaps? i was thinking about getting some but i was worried that they will significantly decrease the activation force of my gateron jade switches because they're obviously heavier than normal plastic keycaps, is this true?

[calm pulsar]

hmm so jade stem is diff after all from the lekker stem? @tawdry tree

[tidal frigate]

In chiiina everything iż diffrent we make walls with tofu thats very smart not like those stupid westeners

[quiet bay]

as long as the springs can hold it up they work like normal keycaps

just make sure the spacebar has atleast a 60g spring

[sick venture]

anyone know what size the burger mount mod has to be? I heard somewhere like (4mm, 1mm, 1.5mm) but im not sure

[delicate crest]

ty for this info

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, Jades have a slightly stronger magnet. I was surprised by that too because it isn’t apparent in the Analog Monitor.

[harsh dove]

Makes sense for shorter travel switches to have stronger magnets

[calm pulsar]

I guess this is in accommodation for the sealed bottom
thank you for these tests💯
