[granite comet]

cad to aud has been on par for years

[harsh dove]

And yeah honestly you’re not gonna notice much between 35gf and 40gf so probably better off using them stock

[granite comet]

so you guys lubing with 205?

[fluid ravine]

Cus otherwise the stem should be considered as long pole if it's longer than lekkers

[south sparrow]

are 40gf way lighter than 60gf or is there no other way to know other than trying them out myself

[fluid ravine]

If it is then it shouldn't compress it that much depending on how thick the bottom out hole is

[harsh dove]

Right and the stems aren’t longer in these, just closed bottoms

[rapid sedge]

i had forgot to order some i have 105 so i was gonna bag lube my springs just for now🦧

[fluid ravine]

Yeah so if so then they're mostly going to compress the spring by a bit

Yeah ima need myself a caliper

[limber ravine]

yes at that level tiny fractions are very noticeable . 1 is half of 2 so that is a reduction of 50% but 1 is 2% of 50 so any reduction would be of 2%

[fluid ravine]

Or however u spell it

[cold bloom]

Yeah AUD is a bit weaker rn actually

[granite comet]

don’t doubt it

[harsh dove]

Yes it’s noticeable

[limber ravine]

tldr ^

[cold bloom]

Pretty close tho

I remember in 2011 when the Canadian dollar was above par with the USD lol

We bought so much shit in the US

[rapid sedge]

and now the economy went to shit

[granite comet]

i remember as well aud was there as well

[south coral]

everytime i watch linus i get scared by prices before i remember CAD lol

[cold bloom]

Now it’s horrible for the CAD lol

To USD

[south sparrow]

are stock wootings 60gf for the springs?

[rapid sedge]

very

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[granite comet]

so 205 for the switch 105 for the springs? honestly never done this shit boys

[cold bloom]

Yeah I use dielectric grease on the wires

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s fine, superlube oil for the springs also works

[rapid sedge]

thats what ive heard

[cold bloom]

But 205 on the housings works well, don’t go too hard with it or it can get sluggish

Just do a light coat and adjust as needed

[rapid sedge]

you dont wanna see the white of the lube

[granite comet]

ight ight

[rapid sedge]

lightly lube it

[granite comet]

geon is mx style isnt it?

[limber ravine]

@harsh dove would you get raw he 40s and call it a day or would you bother spring swapping ?

[cold bloom]

Yup

[quiet bay]

me who likes slightly overlubing my switches

[rapid sedge]

[granite comet]

aight might need to order lube n shit on amazon then

[rapid sedge]

order 105 and bag lube springs

[granite comet]

roger roger

[harsh dove]

Raw HE 40s are probably fine for you tbh, if you feel fatigue or that they’re not light enough then try spring swapping

[granite comet]

man ngl i still cant find caps that i like

[limber ravine]

for me its not about fatigue , its about blazing fast performance . i am just undecided between the two paths i mentioned .

🧐

[rapid sedge]

what color

do you like

[harsh dove]

Ah okay I got you, yeah same thing really then, try the 40s see how you feel and then get the Lekker 35gf spring pack or I believe Alieexpress has some compatible springs that are 28gf

@limber ravine

[limber ravine]

cool gotcha @harsh dove

[south sparrow]

do they make spring testing kits 😂 would like to try lighter springs but dont wanna pull the trigger to buy different switches

[rapid sedge]

key caps were definitely the hardest thing for me to pick, i then bit the bullet and bought gmk red samurais🦧🦧

[granite comet]

well i went for a redux in ano black ordered the wooting 60 built in black, I like the look of black on white caps and white on black, white on blue, I like the minimalistic look overall but it seems like no one is really selling too much in the way of minimalistic caps that are in stock and all the same color which blows my brain like why is it limited to group buys for that and all the fancy color blended stuff in stock But yeah subtext looks cool too

[rapid sedge]

i was going for a very minimal build around first

im talking black on black on black

then i decided red on black🦧

[granite comet]

optimum ahh tech

[rapid sedge]

i love minimal stuff man

like my room is very basic but i enjoy it

nothing over the top

[quiet bay]

Minimal 😍

lov my wooting

[rapid sedge]

but like i was eventually convinced into look into gmk key caps

[granite comet]

gmk honors for 190$ aud shipped locally, is something i have looked at

[limber ravine]

guys how does initial magnetic flux effect switch feel ?

[rapid sedge]

absolutely brother

those are gorgeous

[granite comet]

hold up

[rapid sedge]

this is what i got

[granite comet]

or gmk modern ink for 210$ aud

those have been the 2 i have looked at

[granite comet]

yummy

[rapid sedge]

well did you just want white on black

or white woth some accents

[harsh dove]

That’s the magnetic strength , doesn’t affect physical feeling

Affects overall performance

[limber ravine]

nice , higher the better ? or vice versa

[granite comet]

see im so unsure

man the novelties for both of those look stunning but cant buy anywhere

[harsh dove]

I’m not completely versed in magnetic flux values but ideally you just need ones that are compatible with the wooting PCB , but also keep in mind that as wooting keeps developing their firmware and sensors on the PCB, more switches could be compatible in the future.

@limber ravine

[cold bloom]

Salvation foam came in lol

Probably will never use it

But nice to have

[limber ravine]

understood 🙂

[rapid sedge]

thats how i felt with the samurai novelties🙏

[rapid sedge]

have you checked drop?

[quiet bay]

wait you got a salvation??

[granite comet]

ill have a look now, was gonna buy something off drop recently, shipping can be $$

[cold bloom]

Yeah 🤣

[polar girder]

Nce

[quiet bay]

oo yeah I wont ever get tired of looking at a salvation

[cold bloom]

Same

[harsh dove]

Based on what we’ve tested so far and if you take a look at our switch compatibility list in the #🪛│modding_faq , you’ll notice that most of the compatible switches have flux values between 100Gs and 900Gs

[barren abyss]

for 190$ they better be handcrafted and painted by a blind saint on Himalaya during a solar eclipse...

[cold bloom]

Gonna swap my wooting oring from 70a to 50a and take my switch pad out

[rapid sedge]

im thinking of going for a burger mod once i get everything and maybe a tape mod

il have to see how it sound with and without when i do get it

[quiet bay]

should get gummy o ring

easier to do and more effect

[rapid sedge]

already had bought mini o rings

[quiet bay]

dang

[polar girder]

You friction mount the salvation or that’s an MX board?

[rapid sedge]

well maybe time will tell

[granite comet]

aud

[rapid sedge]

maybe il try burger mod and then il try the gummy o ring

[harsh dove]

Friction mounting the salvation is crazy

If so

[polar girder]

lol ikr

[barren abyss]

still not cheap for in principle machine produced plastic... even if it's high quality plastic ^^

[granite comet]

true i guess

[urban harbor]

Salvation is such a beauty

[quiet bay]

I got cerakeys cause I thought it was worth the money :v

since it's a whole other material

and can be cheaper than gmk

[granite comet]

it’s like 11 vodka redbulls if you want to think about it differently

[urban harbor]

Its true that if you tell a normal person you paid $190 aud for keycaps theyd look at you funny, yes

[harsh dove]

I’ve done it before and it works just kinda defeats the purpose of the leaf springs

[limber ravine]

@harsh dove , decided i am getting the raw 40s .

[quiet bay]

yippee!

[rapid sedge]

one of us

[quiet bay]

we are now converting people to raw hes

[fluid ravine]

One of us!

[fluid ravine]

Getting them raaawww

[rapid sedge]

like a cult almost

[fluid ravine]

Yeeeee

[quiet bay]

Screw gateron! Geonworks is better!!!!

[polar girder]

Who makes black knight?

No one better say GUGU or it’s on sight

[fluid ravine]

Gugu gaga..

[granite comet]

so like in trrms of tools n shit what do you think id need, 205g, 105g and what else to do this board considering i have nothing

[limber ravine]

how many keys in 80 he ?

[harsh dove]

Grain gold

[fluid ravine]

[limber ravine]

in know dumb question

[granite comet]

just less the 90 probs

[polar girder]

Who tf

[limber ravine]

90 sets fit right ?

i was wondering that

[polar girder]

lol

[harsh dove]

That’s the manufacture at least

[polar girder]

I’m just not familiar with their game

Thanks for answer tho

[fluid ravine]

im guessing 84 keys

[rapid sedge]

well i bought my self a lubing brush a switch opener and a switch puller

[urban harbor]

A normal tkl is 87 keys, so 90 should be enough

[limber ravine]

cool

[harsh dove]

They also made the Neo Lavenders and Raptor HEs

[fluid ravine]

yeah 84 keys one 80HE for ANSI

@limber ravine

just get a set of 90

[rapid sedge]

how many switches on the 60he?

[granite comet]

alright alright i guess i’ll have a look on amazon for some stuff then, or should i get the took kit stuff from geon whilst i am ordering?

[fluid ravine]

61

for ANSI

[rapid sedge]

i just got them off amazon tbh

[fluid ravine]

and 62 for ISO i think

[polar girder]

Oh damn ok. Solid pedigree lol

[rapid sedge]

amazons stuff isnt bad either and the delivery is quick

[granite comet]

yeah aight, what’s needed for stabs?

[harsh dove]

Yeah they just need to work on better tolerances

[low fiber]

Hey I saw drunkdeer is releasing silent magnetic switches. do you guys think it will be any good?

[granite comet]

and/or any other mod you recommend? also fucked around and didnt order pcb plate like an idiot

[rapid sedge]

tbh i wasnt planning on touching mime

mine

[granite comet]

true

[harsh dove]

Cause Geon went his own route with the RAW HEs

[rapid sedge]

i was gonna leave my stabs stock

[granite comet]

no height problems with raws and stock stabs?

[rapid sedge]

dont you get one with the 60he module?

[quiet bay]

yeah you get stabs with the module

[harsh dove]

No

[granite comet]

honestly bought the full board the price difference was like eh whatever

[harsh dove]

I’m using stock stabs currently and no issues

[limber ravine]

why doesnt wooting 60 he have a sub section in the server ?

[quiet bay]

also pc plate is included with module

[rapid sedge]

see i did the same but i also dont like the idea of throwing all
That extra stuff away

but i also dont want the hassle rn since theyre busy with email

[harsh dove]

Keyboard modding basically is the sub section

[fluid ravine]

Our home :>

[rapid sedge]

so idk if i just try to cancel my order and get the module or just buy the keyboard and do it like that

[south sparrow]

how many extra switches do i get for a two he

or do i just yolo and get exactly enough

[fluid ravine]

I'd get a few extra switches just incase if anything goes wrong

[granite comet]

i was like eh 40$ and it wasn’t a bad idea considering id use the thing until i got new caps

[polar girder]

Like made them himself or what?

[rapid sedge]

tbh the price of the whole wooting for me was 320

[granite comet]

yeah mine was bout the same shipped

[harsh dove]

AFAIK yeah, says Geonworks OEM instead of Grain Gold

[rapid sedge]

cause im still like idk if i just get the module through all the hassle rn said to get an email back it would be a week

[cold bloom]

it's mx right now, friction mounting in my tofu

[fluid ravine]

guessing roughly abt 101 switches

[rapid sedge]

so idk if i just go fuck it get the keyboard its self and disassemble it

[limber ravine]

love this comunity , getting a lot of support

[granite comet]

probs a good thing i didn’t get anything else in the order customs starts going ehh uhh at 400$ and then wants to put gst on the thing

[limber ravine]

🙂

[harsh dove]

Always get extra switches in the odd case you get some bad ones or bad magnets etc

[rapid sedge]

issue is i already sent the email for it to get cancelled lolol

[fluid ravine]

i'd say get like 105/110 switches @south sparrow

[granite comet]

oh aha

[limber ravine]

not even 100 ?

for 80 he

[fluid ravine]

idk if i counted 101 correctly but i roughyl counted them with logic

[south sparrow]

its 108 number of keys if fully decking it out lol

[fluid ravine]

80he is 84 keys so you should get 90

[low fiber]

what about the Sakura silent switches from drunkdeer? are they good?

[south sparrow]

wondering if its even worth swapping switches for all the keys tho

[granite comet]

become a professional RAWdogger

[limber ravine]

guys what key profile is flat ? i dont like curves here

[rapid sedge]

i just unsent it and said resolved gonna unhold my order now

just gonna get the keyboard

[quiet bay]

Guys…get this chocolate instead of hershey or smth

[polar girder]

That’s gangster. Nice

[quiet bay]

shit is delectable

[limber ravine]

^^

[polar girder]

Nice dude

[low fiber]

rawdogger? 😂

[cold bloom]

thank you sir

I really like it without the switch pad

[quiet bay]

on what?

[granite comet]

i fucked arounf with mine too they had to unhold it themselves

[granite comet]

yuh

[polar girder]

Yeah I kind of want to try switch pads lol

[low fiber]

@cold bloom whats ur opinion on the sakura silent switches from drunkdeer?

[rapid sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-scott-office-fantastic-great-gif-25279163

[cold bloom]

I found I liked them with switches that were a bit louder like jades, but these are so clean I find letting them breathe works too lol

[cold bloom]

thank you sir

[cold bloom]

never tried them, might wanna check if they're compatible, I know the other drunkdeer switches weren't

[limber ravine]

i dont like curved profile key caps

[quiet bay]

oh crap I read that wrong..

[granite comet]

shesha when are you going to go live in your local server

[limber ravine]

😑

[quiet bay]

so you dont like concave keycaps?

[limber ravine]

nope nada , not at all

[quiet bay]

cherry is pretty flat

[limber ravine]

flat is most optimal and ergonomic , for me

[limber ravine]

cherry is curved

i have em rn

[quiet bay]

dang so you want FLATT

[harsh dove]

KAM or DSA maybe

I don’t think anything below that is compatible

Maybe G20

[granite comet]

@limber ravine get those apple magic caps bro

[limber ravine]

yeah right

lol

[low fiber]

how do I check that?

[rapid sedge]

lowkey excited to build this keyboard idk why

[south sparrow]

will my keyb hate me if i have different switches w different travel on it

[quiet bay]

g20 is flat as shiiii

it might be compatible

[rapid sedge]

i think they have a compatibility chart somewhere

[cold bloom]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[harsh dove]

Yeah idek where to find that profile

[untold wigeon]

Guys what does a ducky one 2 mini have?

[quiet bay]

https://spkeyboards.com/collections/g20-standard-keycap-sets well I found this site

they are in fact

flat

[harsh dove]

Oh nice , yeah I didn’t even look

[low fiber]

looks like they do

[rapid sedge]

then go for it brother

[prime orbit]

@stray tiger you forgot the best switches in that post in modding faq

[harsh dove]

Which ones?

[quiet bay]

Cherry keycaps are pretty flat, they're just at an angle ngl

[prime orbit]

forgot the goats

the Black Knights

[harsh dove]

Those are in there

[prime orbit]

huh

[harsh dove]

So are the RAW HEs

[prime orbit]

am i blind

wow

im blind

[granite comet]

no just not 20/20

[prime orbit]

nvm

[polar girder]

I’m starting to wonder…

[prime orbit]

...

[stray tiger]

Apology accepted

[quiet bay]

[prime orbit]

im sorry dad

[low fiber]

I ordered the GEON RAW HE last night, but I just wanted to know if people have heard about the sakura silent switches and if they like it😅

[harsh dove]

lol making me question myself cause I just went over them with him this morning before we updated it

[fluid ravine]

apparently

i thought i was blind

[prime orbit]

[fluid ravine]

(jk rspectfuly)

[harsh dove]

I was like, no no no I’m sure they’re in there

[prime orbit]

keeping yall on ur toes <3

[rapid sedge]

waitt if i buy the base wooting keyboard that i already have ordered does that come with the poron pad or is tht just in the module

[prime orbit]

im going to the dr rn LMAO

[fluid ravine]

thats me everytime someone wants to try to prove something

[fluid ravine]

take me with you

i need to get my ass checked up

[quiet bay]

maybe yall can color code it 🤔

[fluid ravine]

o

[stray tiger]

Now on to more important things, there is a new must have keyboard accessory on the market. https://linktr.ee/daftpink.art

[harsh dove]

Oh gosh

[quiet bay]

OH MAH FLUFF

[fluid ravine]

OH HOHOOHOHOH

[rapid sedge]

THE POKEMON RUGS

HOLY MOLT

[fluid ravine]

I WANT THE HELLO KITTY

[rapid sedge]

MOLY

[fluid ravine]

LMFAO

[harsh dove]

These are actually cool lol

[quiet bay]

I love how its keyboard rugs and then there's this at the bottom LOL

[harsh dove]

I wouldn’t want one to actually use but they’re cool

[harsh dove]

That’s for making them lol

I have a friend who makes custom rugs and hats like that

[quiet bay]

yeah it's just all the keyboard rugs and then you see this mechanism 😂

[harsh dove]

Haha yeah

[rapid sedge]

I MIGHT JUST BUY THAT ITACHI ONE LOWKEY

for the red and black

[granite comet]

https://tenor.com/view/nodding-jidon-adams-jidion-yeah-yes-gif-26919143

[polar girder]

So sweaty

[granite comet]

found the perfect thing for the RAWs

[polar girder]

Nah

[rapid sedge]

oooo you can make ur own from them btw

[quiet bay]

indeed

just

takes a lot of time

and skill

[rapid sedge]

no no like

they make them

[quiet bay]

ohh like custom??

[rapid sedge]

20-30 working days

[rapid sedge]

yes yes'

https://daftpink.art/custom-rugs/custom-keyboard-rug-upload-your-picture

[quiet bay]

thats pretty sick

[rapid sedge]

and you choose the size

so you can buy a 60% size one

[quiet bay]

sheesh

[rapid sedge]

eventually i might have to invest in this'

ngl

[quiet bay]

lol would be sick as a collectible item

idk if I would actually use it as a wrist rest but more for pictures'

[rapid sedge]

lmaoo exactly

just have it on my wall

[fluid ravine]

real

but first ima need myself a keebmat

[rapid sedge]

thats when you buy two

[fluid ravine]

and a new cable

lul

[quiet bay]

I need a new cable

and new switches OFC

[fluid ravine]

we*

ehehhee

[quiet bay]

yez

[rapid sedge]

i bit the bullet and bought the gmk coiled cable

[fluid ravine]

da flipppp

i wish there were like gmk themed keebmat

[quiet bay]

@harsh dove where did u get ur cable from again

[fluid ravine]

like how omnitype has like dualshot deskmat

[rapid sedge]

there are i thibk

cause i bought all red samurai lololol

[fluid ravine]

WiredIn

[harsh dove]

[quiet bay]

ok thx

[rapid sedge]

Me want keebmat

[rapid sedge]

OOOOO

sorry sorry

[fluid ravine]

lol

all g

but thats nice though

[rapid sedge]

those keebmats are nice tho

i like that

cause i usually tilt my keyboard at an angle

[fluid ravine]

yeah i was already planning to get one soon

yet i still remember that i got a volleyball to buy >:(

Anyways

What color keebmat should i get :0

[rapid sedge]

well

what color is your keyboard

[quiet bay]

wat volleyball u getting

[rapid sedge]

cause i also finally got to change my old little shitty desk

[fluid ravine]

Mikasa v200w

[rapid sedge]

i had bought a butcher block that was pure wood

[fluid ravine]

maybe v300w if i spare some moni but idk

[quiet bay]

dayum so the expensive one

[rapid sedge]

def lavendar

[fluid ravine]

i mean sure

they're like $60 on amazon

[quiet bay]

are those legit

[fluid ravine]

oo interesting

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[rapid sedge]

it matches the most

[fluid ravine]

oh wait is it a bit lavender in the pic? 😭

cus the keycaps are grey

[rapid sedge]

oh

those still look lavender idk why

maybe bubble gum?

[fluid ravine]

Prob camera and lighting

[rapid sedge]

for the accents

[rapid sedge]

my nvidia color settings dont help

[gleaming crow]

what keycaps are these

[polar girder]

Nice lavender keycaps

[fluid ravine]

damn it does look lavender in the photo dafuq

[fluid ravine]

GMK 80082

weird

[rapid sedge]

those def arent just grey

no way

[quiet bay]

its like a grey with a bluish-purplish hue

[fluid ravine]

same xd

i raiseds the digital vibrance

to like 70-80

[rapid sedge]

there has to be some purpleish in there

[fluid ravine]

ye ye

[quiet bay]

kinda like this

[fluid ravine]

i mean like hyperfuse changes color from grey to like white

[rapid sedge]

mines 100

[fluid ravine]

or even blu

[fluid ravine]

the hell

hmm

interesante

[rapid sedge]

thats why i was like

[rapid sedge]

lavander ngl

[fluid ravine]

man im confused now

[rapid sedge]

still looks lavander lolol

[fluid ravine]

even on phone?

[rapid sedge]

yup

[limber ravine]

good night guys

[fluid ravine]

alright to the doctor we go

[limber ravine]

🙂

[rapid sedge]

like i def see the grey

[limber ravine]

😴

[fluid ravine]

[rapid sedge]

but also the purpleish

[quiet bay]

it does look grey to me tho 😭

[fluid ravine]

but a hint of like purpol

yeah yeah

[rapid sedge]

yes yes

[fluid ravine]

holeh this is trippy

[rapid sedge]

OOOOO WAIT

LOOK AT THE COOL GRAY

good sir

[fluid ravine]

LIKE THIS IS CONSIDERED "COOL GRAY"

LMAOOOO

YEAH

I WAS GOING TO POINT THAT OUT

PFFFT

[rapid sedge]

WOOOO

[quiet bay]

color so complicated

I dont wanna learn color theory

[rapid sedge]

frl

all i know is blue red green

[fluid ravine]

R.G.B

TQ

[wraith widget]

I mean it looks lavendery-ish to me

[fluid ravine]

[rapid sedge]

true

[fluid ravine]

I mean yeah i could fw with the cool gray

[rapid sedge]

i mean it looks identical

[polar girder]

All grey needs is a tiny bit of blue and it looks lavender ish

[quiet bay]

cool grey is a mixture of black, white, and a hint of blue

[polar girder]

BOOM

[quiet bay]

I was kinda right xD

[fluid ravine]

just to make sure

[quiet bay]

I said grey with a hue of bluish purple xdd

[wraith widget]

Yeah but

[fluid ravine]

[gleaming crow]

is there a website that shows me all the gmk keycaps with specific filters?

[fluid ravine]

am going crazy

[wraith widget]

Are we just using too much digital vibrance?

[fluid ravine]

prob

[wraith widget]

Shit looks almost completely purple to me

But they are very nice indeed

[quiet bay]

https://matrixzj.github.io/docs/gmk-keycaps doesnt rlly have filters but its a list

[fluid ravine]

Us valo players with our monitors

Digital vibrance 📈

[rapid sedge]

mines at 100 kekw

[wraith widget]

oh for sure

Mine is like 70 I think

[fluid ravine]

[rapid sedge]

makes it prettty

[wraith widget]

We definitely ain't seeing the correct colour

[fluid ravine]

mines at 85%

[fluid ravine]

mhm

[rapid sedge]

then i go over to my friends place with an amd card and im like

am i color blind

[fluid ravine]

yeah usually when i look at images i go on my phone

[fluid ravine]

so real

[tawdry tree]

this is an inside troll at this point

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

oh gosh 😭

[tawdry tree]

Gugu is the chef that done burnt the food

that’s why they’re black

[fluid ravine]

60% or 65%

[rapid sedge]

well what keyboard layout do you have

[spiral anvil]

Honestly most of them turn out fine

[fluid ravine]

600%

:P

just wondering if i should get the exact size or a bit bigger

[spiral anvil]

I say a bit bigger

[calm pulsar]

we need gmk gugu, black with gold sprinkes

[harsh dove]

I did that

Lmao

Someone finally caught it

[cold bloom]

When you have OLED you don't need digital vibrance

[granite comet]

nah crack it up

[cold bloom]

I did it just looks trash LOL

[fluid ravine]

hmmm

[calm pulsar]

im using this thing too to improve color accuracy

[tawdry tree]

YOU! 😤😂😂

[fluid ravine]

PIECE

[granite comet]

idk nothing to me looks as good as my g3 that is have owned honestly

[cold bloom]

You just lose detail

with digital vibrance on OLED

[granite comet]

60%

[harsh dove]

I run 50-60-60 on my OLED

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[open peak]

Lord make me fast and accurate

[cold bloom]

I finally got some better lube brushes @harsh dove

huge day for me

[open peak]

Lube and new switch plate going in

[quaint garnet]

need keycap recommendations, I've never had this hard of a time picking a set and all of mine currently have homes. Would be okay with:

• mono tone black/gray
• anything in the darker greens
• something purple (not lavender though)
  Any recommendations are appreciated

(looking for caps in stock currently)

[harsh dove]

When you’re done, bin this

[harsh dove]

You get some wider flat tip ones?

Oh those nice

I cut the tip of one of mine to make it more of a flat top for lubing switches and stabs

[elfin garnet]

Sorry for the late reply. I'm in EU and got mine within 4-5 days so should be fast unless there's something strange happening

[rapid sedge]

lint roller non-stop

[fluid ravine]

damn shipping costing more than the brush themselves

[open peak]

I too have a dedicated lint roller!!

[harsh dove]

I can’t lint roller my suede pads sadly

[open peak]

My pals tease me about it

[cold bloom]

yeah that was the boat I was in until I found this site in Canada lol

Some pads say not to use a lint roller if you're gonna use it for your mouse, it can slightly damage the surface, but I don't use my mouse on my deskmat

so i lint roller the crap outta it

[open peak]

This guy does well to hide skin cells, but lint 4 lyfe

[stray tiger]

Just get a desk vacuum

[open peak]

I'll just break out a new mouse pad for each session. Problem solved

[fluid ravine]

[polar girder]

Vacuum up skin cells?

[open peak]

Buying this now

[cold bloom]

I think I need that

[polar girder]

I just full on soap clean my cloth pads every several months or so

[open peak]

Skin cells are just part of the battle

[cold bloom]

yeah I wipe mine down with a wet microfibre often

[open peak]

This mouse pad has glass fibering

[cold bloom]

or some neutral soap too

[open peak]

Can't bend mine

[cold bloom]

damn

shidenkai?

[rapid sedge]

i just throw mine in a bathtub and clean it lol

[open peak]

Wish I read that warning first before I started flopping it around

[cold bloom]

I spilled beer on my old one and had to wash it in the tub once

[polar girder]

Yeah same

[cold bloom]

worked well

[polar girder]

Fingers and dish soap

[rapid sedge]

i feel bad for the beer not the mouse pad

[cold bloom]

same

soaked my wooting too LMAO

[rapid sedge]

[polar girder]

RIP

[cold bloom]

I put new switches in it tho

and took it apart instantly

[rapid sedge]

eh itll survive the beer no\

[cold bloom]

yeah it did

thankfully

[rapid sedge]

🙏

[stray tiger]

I use that combined with the horsehair brush that Cam suggested

[cold bloom]

I took some iso to the plate and pcb fast af

[cold bloom]

and soaked out the beer from the case

[open peak]

I said ooops after I caught that warning

[rapid sedge]

spilled a cup of jack on my old keyboard that was terrible

[cold bloom]

that's wild

[open peak]

Ikr!

For $100 it can be yours too

[cold bloom]

I spilled pink lemonade on a macbook once, worst thing I've ever had spill

sticky af on so many keys lmao

[rapid sedge]

thats awful holy

[cold bloom]

I had to order after market switches for it the butterfly ones

what a pain in the ass that was

but I got it working

[open peak]

That's a flex of patience there @cold bloom

[rapid sedge]

my sister was tired of her mac for a paper for school she asked to use my pc

[cold bloom]

I was likely banging my head off the wall the whole time

but I learned a lot lmao

[rapid sedge]

said that its so much better than a mac then i told her how much i spent

i wonder why

[cold bloom]

LMAO

[open peak]

That's what's important! Always strive to learn a new thing every day, big or small

[rapid sedge]

i told her dont get ujsed it😭

[open peak]

Yall distracting me from this key board

[cold bloom]

I need a new laptop btw

I do love macbooks for just daily use tho

they're so fun esp if you have like a display and the trackpad

[rapid sedge]

oh def especially if youre moving around

[open peak]

See the new 4k imaging on keyboards?

[cold bloom]

yeah I have the touchbar one and the fkn keys ski

skip

but I missed the window to get it fixed for free

[rapid sedge]

thats tragic

[cold bloom]

some new ones are wild

[open peak]

Like having a screen saver on the keyboard

[cold bloom]

the new framework laptops are cool af

can move the keyboard and stuff around

[open peak]

Thankfully I'm very satisfied with the Wooting, it's pacifier to my intrusive tech thoughts.

[tawdry tree]

modularity 😇

[rapid sedge]

i need it for cs lololol

[open peak]

I've been using the DKS for super glides in Apex, hit em almost everytime

[polar girder]

You used SOCD yet?

[cold bloom]

dks is super cool

[open peak]

Yes SOCD is awesome

[rapid sedge]

i dont have it yet never have

[open peak]

The best part of the whole Wooting experience? The CUSTOMER SERVICE ohmahgod. Take a lesson competition

[rapid sedge]

i made the worst mistake when i first got my pc and bought a higround keyboard

[polar girder]

Yeah I haven’t tried it yet

[open peak]

They made a poll, should we march the new Razer null? And boom we got it

Match*

Who does that

Wooting does.

[woeful basin]

which switch has the lowest force and travel? ik the chart exist.

[open peak]

Could swap springs?

[limber ravine]

How to adjust for switch polarity ? What is north south here ? Orientation?

For third party switches

[open peak]

Just swap leads for polarity swap

[polar girder]

https://lynepad.com/products/lynepad-21-34mc2

[limber ravine]

Is it software based or just physical switch orientation

[open peak]

Sorry that was more a DC motor to VFD response

[polar girder]

Kind of wild

[limber ravine]

?

[polar girder]

It’s the magnet

[cold bloom]

I need a nice macro pad sometime

I love the look of some of the new ones

[polar girder]

Need a PCB compatible with switch magnet polarity

[cold bloom]

uwu? lol

[polar girder]

Yeah I definitely do not need one lol. But some do look really nice

[limber ravine]

Since I am buying a third party switch that is same north pole as lekers switches should I worry about anything or is it just plug and play

[cold bloom]

closest I think there is rn

[polar girder]

North Pole or north facing?

[rapid sedge]

This for street fighter

[polar girder]

Yeah if it matches polarity and it says compatible on that list, should be good

[limber ravine]

Both north pole

So basically plug and play ?

[polar girder]

Why are you stuck on pole

Just look at last column

[limber ravine]

Because it says so on the chart

[granite comet]

Should I be careful when buying 205g0 and 105g0?, on amazon

[polar girder]

Compatible: Yes

Yeah but just cuz it has matching polarity doesn’t mean it automatically works

Just get from any of them that say Yes in compatible column

[limber ravine]

It says it's compatible

[polar girder]

Ok all set

[limber ravine]

Okay

[tawdry tree]

South or North polarity does not matter anymore, both are fully supported. A magnet’s strength is what causes a switch to be or not to be compatible though.

[limber ravine]

I thought I'd have to account for some polarity thing in software

[hazy flax]

Anyone know what keeb this is?

[uneven cradle]

Nuphy halo65

[rapid sedge]

the 105 i bought on amazon was the krytox one

from kinetic

[tawdry tree]

Nope, it’s completely automatic. Just install them and you’re ready to go.

[limber ravine]

Good then

[limber ravine]

I'm getting geon raw he 40s that's why

[formal panther]

would you guys say its worth to replace the steel plate?

ive never typed on a steel plate, only pc and alu, cant imagine its that different from alu

[harsh dove]

Nuphy

Halo 65

Oh hopper answered

Heard they actually make some decent stuff

[harsh dove]

I find alu to be nicer in terms of the sound, but the wooting pc plate is great if that’s what you’re asking

[uneven cradle]

Gem80 is a great entry board

[formal panther]

yea, ive only had experience with steel plates on old realforces, and they tend to be not the best from personal experience, but then again its topre vs mx

[hazy flax]

Thanks man, expected nothing less from keyboard modding channel 🙂

[formal panther]

i have a module already purchased thats arriving september, if i purchase a pc plate will it automatically get bundled in with that order?

[uneven cradle]

Helps that this is my office keyboard atm

[harsh dove]

No, it’ll be sent separately, you can have it added to your order but depending on stock, which they should be in stock, it could delay your order a bit

If it’s in stock then it should be fine

[hazy flax]

LOL, how is it? I don’t want to randomly touch someone’s keeb without permission

[uneven cradle]

It's not too bad, for the price it's decent I'd say quality wise it's better then keychron

[hazy flax]

Damn I was actually looking at the q1 for office use

And the mode sonnet

[uneven cradle]

At least in the same price range

[hazy flax]

Cool cool

[cold bloom]

I want a mode board SO bad

I think it'll be my next big purchase

probably the sixtyfive

[limber ravine]

What plate makes the keys bounce ?

[harsh dove]

That’s going to come down to mounting style more so than plate material, however POM, PC, PP, are going to be your softer/bouncier plates

[limber ravine]

What comes stock in 80 he ?

[topaz briar]

i have a 60he+ but want to case swap it how can i go about do that? i don’t see any screw holes i can use to unscrew the stock case.

[polar girder]

Take off the keycaps

The PCB is “tray mount” to the case

[uneven cradle]

https://youtu.be/PsRcYxZgBCo

[rapid sedge]

such nice cases but so expensive

[cold bloom]

yeah I feel like they're worth it tho with the way they innovate on mounting systems, I fkn love their lattice mounts that carbon 3D prints

[limber ravine]

Finding switches was hard enough

How am I supposed to navigate all the other possibilities

Will we see third party plates and other parts for 80he ?

[hazy flax]

yeah! same.

[harsh dove]

Plates maybe, cases not too sure

That’s why Wooting made so many cases for it tbh

[hazy flax]

im broke so im waiting to see what kind of black friday/cyber monday deals they have @cold bloom

its going to be a LONG wait.

[harsh dove]

There’s no standard for TKL cases

[limber ravine]

Some person might want red case how will he navigate that ?

[harsh dove]

Suffer

[limber ravine]

Lol

Good that I love black

[harsh dove]

Or

[limber ravine]

Self paint it ?

[harsh dove]

Get a raw zinc case and get it cerakoted

Calder showcased a cerakoted version

[limber ravine]

That keeb will reach 500 usd range quickly

[harsh dove]

Hey if you want red

You pay the price

[fluid ravine]

show? 👀

[harsh dove]

Gotta find it again

[limber ravine]

Since I am new to keyboard modding , after buying a 80 he what can I look forward to personalise ? What parts are objectively best in the stock 80he package and what can be upgraded ?

[devout torrent]

so hot

[harsh dove]

Yeah actually looks really good

[gleaming crow]

where do you guys get ur deskmats from

[devout torrent]

lethal gaming gear

[fluid ravine]

oh hey thats cleannn

[harsh dove]

Artisan or wiredin

[devout torrent]

keebmat also goated option

then use whatever pad for mouse

[harsh dove]

Yeah keebmats are nice too

Got a couple of those

Also got some from inkwell keys

[gleaming crow]

anyone know the difference between a felt keebmat and just the normal cloth one?

[harsh dove]

https://inkwellkeys.com/shop

[harsh dove]

Materials

[stuck pumice]

felt is itchy

[gleaming crow]

how does the sound compare?

[stuck pumice]

prob not much of a difference

[cold bloom]

good idea tho

[cold bloom]

I got a new artisan type 99 xxl soft coming I can't wait

[stray tiger]

Should have went with the xsoft

[remote cairn]

Isn't soft the perfect middle?

And doesn't it depend on which one you get?

[stray tiger]

I have no clue, Im just talking smack

[elfin garnet]

This guy is my go to for cleaning my desk. I just blow it all off the table and vaccum clean the floor. It’s good for blowing out hair and other stuff between the keys as well

[paper crag]

Where did you cop this joint I need asap

[elfin garnet]

I bought mine at maxgaming in EU but you can find it on amazon

https://www.amazon.com/air-blowers-computer/s?k=air+blowers+for+computer

[tropic urchin]

Artisan pads are goated, going from my old pads to artisan was a shock

[remote cairn]

Looking at this, soft would be the one that seems good I think

[stray tiger]

I mean I literaly have no clue. I know zilch about artisan pads. I use a PK control pad and call it a day.

[elfin garnet]

I use soft. Xsoft is too mushy imo

[harsh dove]

I use mid

[remote cairn]

Alright, I'll check zilch out

[stray tiger]

Cam is mid

I think the new word is beta

[harsh dove]

[harsh dove]

Yeah beta and sigma are the new lingo

[stray tiger]

My youngest kid talks in a language I no longer understand

[harsh dove]

Dude

My 13 yro niece

I have no idea what she’s saying

Literally another language

[remote cairn]

Do you have a link please? I found a clothing brand that's from the netherlands but that's all

[polar girder]

Yeah I have LGG Saturn Pro Soft

Big fan

[remote cairn]

You need a list and a traduction of what every words mean

[elfin garnet]

Yeah I saw on one of your pics the other day. Got jealous because of how clean it was. My cat just ruins everything lol. Imma start locking my room

[polar girder]

lol yeah the basement is off limits to our dog and cat… for now

[elfin garnet]

I wish. My wife is gonna be on to me if she finds out I'm locking him out - that's her baby lmao

[polar girder]

Haha yeah we have some old asbestos flooring in the basement so we don’t want them down there licking around and stuff.

Works out lol

[uneven cradle]

Soft is safest most likely to not be too squishy or too hard

[hazy flax]

last year they gave a $50 off over $300 (and at that point its free shipping). That comes to around a 10% off

if your board is $450

[uneven cradle]

I love my new gecko pad tbh

It's so smooth

[paper crag]

I'd buy one of those GMK desk pads but unfortunately

My artisan is too goated

[cedar gate]

Xsoft feels like your moving your mouse on slime even a zaunkoenig feels slow on it🤣

[cedar gate]

Yeah soft is perfect

[cedar gate]

If you use mid you will probably love a gr sr se

[cedar gate]

Gen alpha is something🤣

My 8 y/o nephew hasn't even seen the godfather

[low fiber]

what type of switch opener do I need for GEON RAW HE's?

[stray tiger]

cherry mx opener

[plush crow]

Did i forgot someting ?

[low fiber]

so this should do then, thanks

[stray tiger]

yes

[low fiber]

I've heard people prefer the GEON RAW HE ones over the Gateron Jades, so if you want you could look into that

but it looks all good yea

[tired frigate]

Where is a trusted source to get these in the US?

[harsh dove]

I’m pretty sure there’s a bundle option for the switch tool set and lube kit that will be slightly cheaper

[paper crag]

^

[paper crag]

Directly from artisan

Is the best bet

Or Amazon but resale prices are insane

[upper hamlet]

Hey does anyone have like a guide on what each switch does ? Keyboard noob here and I can't find a simple one online if I'm thinking of switching them out later on ❤️

[harsh dove]

Oh maybe not anymore

Used to be like $34.99 for Wooting Tool Kit and Lube set bundled I thought

[marsh saffron]

Can confirm Amazon kinda fucks you

Although it arrived really fast through Amazon id just get it from artisans site

[rapid sedge]

dude frl
I almost bought a gmk set off amazon like the legit ones and then i check the actual drop site and the price was so much better

[low fiber]

ur right

[tired frigate]

Hmm I think on Amazon it’s about $35-$50

[paper crag]

U get GMK on Amazon over there?

tff

[rapid sedge]

yeup

But the price

is disgusting compared to the actual drop site

[low fiber]

people recommended me the GEON RAW HE's yesterday, so thats what I bought

[paper crag]

U think the price on that is bad

I wanted some GMK Terror Belows

[rapid sedge]

look at the samurais on amazon

[paper crag]

Oh jesus christ that's just for base

LOL

[tired frigate]

Lmaooo that is crazy

[rapid sedge]

LMAOO YES

[low fiber]

300 bucks holy jesus

[tired frigate]

Bruh

[paper crag]

Holy fk that is expensive

[rapid sedge]

this was the actual drop site

[paper crag]

371 bucks try 400

[rapid sedge]

big difference

[low fiber]

why are keycaps more expensive than the actual keyboard can someone explain?

[upper hamlet]

Ty I'll take a look :)

[stray tiger]

If someone wants redsuns, Ive got a full kit I'd sell at original MSRP and not inflated price

[rapid sedge]

@paper crag you see the major difference from the actual site compared to amazon

[paper crag]

So cause GMK is usually group buy

[rapid sedge]

do you by chance have the novelties?

[paper crag]

When they are instantly in stock to order

they get a crazy markup

NGL absolutely nothing justifies GMK's prices besides the fact we buy it

So they get away with it

[rapid sedge]

lmaoo seems like a lot of things

like league skins

the 500 dollar ahri skin

[uneven cradle]

GMK still expensive in GB, it's just hard to make good quality plastic keycaps with clean legends

Also doesn't help they are manufactured in Germany and have to pay all their employees german wages

Which I imagine are slightly higher then the wages in China let's say

[cedar gate]

Amazon is good

Try pbtfans crosshair

Relatively cheap too

That's all you really need

Unless you have 2 he

But bruh don't buy a 2 he just get an 80 and a numpad

[polar girder]

Imagine

What could’ve been

[lime badger]

im looking at side printed black variants on aliexpress, got a lot of cool options

[polar girder]

Seems cramped

More compact tho

[lime badger]

prefer 80he tbh

got everything I personally need

[polar girder]

I’m curious dimensions for both and how that compares

At least length of 80HE vs 60HE

I low key am tempted by 8k polling lol

Only reason to get it, for me

[fluid ravine]

and yo big ol desk

[polar girder]

Yeah not big enough for an 80% tho

[lime badger]

yeh I have manic episodes every now and then where I buy a couple of mice or keyboards or smth, so this time it was wooting + 2-3 sets of HE switches, tofu redux and 2 sets of doubleshot PBT

[fluid ravine]

waaaaat

[polar girder]

Barely have enough room with 60HE

for my arm swiping ahhhh

[fluid ravine]

wait wut deadasss?

oh right

haha

[lime badger]

decided im gonna use it on my second monitor, for gaming + game dev I do in spare time, for coding station I have different keyboard

[fluid ravine]

whats ur sens on cs?

now that im wondering

[lime badger]

haha im curious now as well

[fluid ravine]

i dont remember mine

[lime badger]

used to play with like I dunno, 70cm/360 or smth, was doing cardio while gaming, those small mousepads in the early 2000s 😄

[fluid ravine]

actually ima play CS for a bit

[lime badger]

have 2x120cm mousepad now over the whole table so no more issues

[fluid ravine]

just a break from val lol

[polar girder]

960edpi

[lime badger]

CS makes me sad nowadays, VAC is a joke

[polar girder]

Not as low as I thought

[cold bloom]

that's decent

[elfin garnet]

https://drop.com/buy/drop-redsuns-gmk-red-samurai-keycap-set?defaultSelectionIds=980129

there's actually a sale on them right now

[polar girder]

.3 sens. 3200 dpi tho

[lime badger]

haha sick, i have .3 on 3000

[polar girder]

Nice lol

[cold bloom]

1600 0.153

goated

[fluid ravine]

Mines at .79 1600

[lime badger]

what the

[fluid ravine]

idk

[cold bloom]

jesus

[fluid ravine]

i put smth random

[lime badger]

do you look at the mouse to aim

[polar girder]

We’re all about the same

[hazy flax]

yeah for that kind of premium quality board we take what we get lol

[polar girder]

Tenz little faster

[cold bloom]

1000% I def need to get one but no rush so will wait for a sale like that

[fluid ravine]

idk

[cold bloom]

deskhero has the new sixtyfive in Canada too maybe they'll have some deals @hazy flax

[rapid sedge]

just bought them last night

[fluid ravine]

ima change it to .63

[cold bloom]

wait so .79 is in cs?

that would make more sense

[rapid sedge]

i play cs for the cases🙏

[cold bloom]

I use like 0.65 I think

but in val I use 0.153

[cold bloom]

both 1600dpi

[rapid sedge]

i use like 0.375

[fluid ravine]

yeah ima play this for now

i usually like play high sens depending on seasons

[lime badger]

ah im just braindead, that's not so bad

[cold bloom]

yeah so the way you'd read that tho is 0.2 in val is equal to 0.636 in cs

[fluid ravine]

like spring-summer high sens and like fall-winter super low sens

[cold bloom]

so cs uses a higher sens

[lime badger]

I remember friend playing with like 3 sens and 3k dpi or some shit in the past

[cold bloom]

technically

[rapid sedge]

i prefered low over high but high feels clean

[rapid sedge]

wtf

[lime badger]

i literally couldn't aim on that

[rapid sedge]

were they wrist aimers?

[hazy flax]

lit. I prefer a 75 with spaced out arrow keys and F row for work, sonnet would be insane

[lime badger]

he played on the 10x10cm mousepad

[hazy flax]

always buy end game xd

[polar girder]

Finger aimers lol

[rapid sedge]

oklay so he aimed with wrist

[fluid ravine]

someone should teach me how to play cs a bit more :D

[harsh dove]

I’m 1600 dpi and like .4 in Val

[cold bloom]

yeah man the sonnet is so clean

[fluid ravine]

gah damn

[rapid sedge]

tap strafe

trust

[polar girder]

I’m down bro

[cold bloom]

isn't that fast af LOL

[fluid ravine]

it is 😭

[polar girder]

I’ve been grinding lol

[lime badger]

he aimed with his eyelashes I dunno man I touched that mouse and I was in another map

[cold bloom]

I can't use a sens that high

I tried 0.175 before or 0.2 as the highest I could actually use

[rapid sedge]

i remember on overwatch i played max sens 1.8k dpi

[harsh dove]

Yeah but I’m on a suede pad rn, if I go back to my artisan I’ll lower it

[cold bloom]

ohh right

what's ur rank lol

[fluid ravine]

yeah during like winter or what not i play 1600 0.08

on val

[cold bloom]

I got to plat 2 last ep but I haven't played much

[harsh dove]

Nothing lmao I just started playing it

[cold bloom]

got placed fkn silver 2

but I'm gaining like 30

[fluid ravine]

so 0.255 on cs

@harsh dove dont play comp

atleast not right now

[cold bloom]

nice

[fluid ravine]

kinjda rigged

[cold bloom]

comp is just annoying lately with all the heros they add and people smurfing cause it's funny

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[harsh dove]

Yeah my homie told me about the smurfing in comp

I’m only Lv 13

[fluid ravine]

its a no no

[harsh dove]

lol

[fluid ravine]

ye

[cold bloom]

it's just frustrating that they say they're working on it but it keeps getting worse

[fluid ravine]

well dont touch it

not until next act

[cold bloom]

it's worst in like bronze/silver/gold really

cause they just stomp on you

higher up it's not as bad

[fluid ravine]

then immo over here

[lime badger]

the situation is fucked, CS has cheaters in most matches, Valo has smurfs 😄 CoD is ... well, no

[fluid ravine]

being really shitty
