¯_(ツ)_/¯

I don't got like "mod mods"

If that makes sense

[dapper hazel]

i’d lube the stabs with something thicker nlgi 2 krytox or bdz or superlube

[fluid ravine]

[dapper hazel]

polyfill is good

[fluid ravine]

I'm currently in the process of unlubing my stabs rn

[dapper hazel]

yeah you should be good with the original

[fluid ravine]

TX AP plate mounts being a absolute BITCH to me

I'm trying to get it work rn

lul

[dapper hazel]

on the other hands with all that dampening, the felt might bring the pop back into the switches

but again hard to tell with the glass table

[fluid ravine]

hmmm i think ik what you're saying now

[dapper hazel]

:)

[fluid ravine]

Are you saying like the original like somewhat absorbs the sound and desperse it evenly and the felt is like a harder material so the sound doesn't like travel through as easily so it goes like back up?

[dapper hazel]

kind of yeah

the general response to felt is that it’s more clacky/poppy

[willow mauve]

https://prototypist.net/collections/in-stock-keycaps/products/in-stock-sw-dolch?variant=41537281097794

hi guys, i'm new to this whole keyboard customisation and I get confused by the different variations for each keycap set. Could someone let me know if this keycap set (SW Dolch) is the complete set (as seen in the 4th picture) for £40

[dapper hazel]

you hear the switches more out of it

[dapper hazel]

looks like it yeah

[willow mauve]

does it come with the red and green keys too? i'm confused that there's only 1 variation

[dapper hazel]

i think so

[fluid ravine]

felt it is

[dapper hazel]

i assume SW is swagkeys

[fluid ravine]

bet, im getting felt then LOL

[dapper hazel]

:P

[fluid ravine]

Again im trying to make my board sound brighter or more clackier as of right now

My plate is also one of the main problem factor rn xd

[dapper hazel]

https://www.swagkey.kr/64/?idx=872

[fluid ravine]

Sry but one more fking question should i get a exact size of 60% or 65%

[dapper hazel]

fr4 is usually hallow yeah

[dapper hazel]

let me check

[fluid ravine]

might go for CF

[willow mauve]

thanks

[dapper hazel]

which exact case is it? you know the dimensions?

[cold bloom]

Interesting

Might need a nuphy for work now

[fluid ravine]

gimme a sec looking for it

[dapper hazel]

oh, but kinda pointless for low profile haha

[dapper hazel]

btw
https://github.com/komar007/gh60
gh60 is an open source pcb, not a case - when cases write gh60 compatible it’s the standard mounting points that this pcb introduced 12 years ago :)

[fluid ravine]

Felt it is

Need/want list:
Cable:????????
Plate: CF

[dapper hazel]

CF will also be hollow

[fluid ravine]

how so :0

[dapper hazel]

hard

go with pom or pc

oh wait you want to make it pop more

[fluid ravine]

lullulululul

I'm already over my thock phase, its time to move on!

[uneven cradle]

What you lubing them with

[fluid ravine]

Grease on wire only

no lube on stem and housing

[uneven cradle]

Use 205g0

[fluid ravine]

Im running out

[fluid ravine]

i only have one dab of krytox in my jar left

and some spread out'

[fluid ravine]

yeah i know

but the problem with krytox is that they break in too easily

and then if i needed to apply more then whoops! im out

I could just use a really thin coat of DG

and call it a day

[uneven cradle]

I remember alexotos saying even a small amount he was having issues with

Now he only uses 205g0 on tx stabs

[fluid ravine]

rip

[uneven cradle]

And mine have been perfect since I built mine ~3 months ago

[fluid ravine]

im having too many problems with them on the wooting

but atleast its not as bad as pcb mounted tx ap

[uneven cradle]

You using long pole or normal

I got long poles

[fluid ravine]

normal

[uneven cradle]

Is it just the spacebar that's having issues

[fluid ravine]

no not spacebar specifically lol

all of them have a problem being sluggish, but i managed to get 4/5 of working fine but the enter key was a big no

[flat cobalt]

Do you guys care about the color of your switches at all? Or am I just crazy

[quiet bay]

sort of yes

[paper bloom]

Nope not me

I just need a certain amount of req's thats all i require

[polar girder]

Yes

[polar girder]

Also partially the reason I’m getting new stabs

[flat cobalt]

Ok good cause I'm looking at those amethyst ._. jades right now

And they look pretty cute

[polar girder]

Worth

IMO

[flat cobalt]

Ohhh that's fancy

[polar girder]

☺️

[calm pulsar]

i did a frankenswitch just to have it black lol

[flat cobalt]

Ohhhh

[flat viper]

hey guys so im looking into getting a wooting 60he+ and i see this Wooting Alumaze60 - 60% universal aluminium case... im a complete new guy in keyboard but is it ez to instal it from getting the normal version because i want the purple color case. also do you guys think the 80 he coming out is better or would it be just for the extra keys... im mainly interested in the snappy tappy feature to try out
also i would want to change the keys would that effect the preformance in any way? with the switches or anything?

[urban harbor]

performance > color for switches

performance > sound > color

[polar girder]

Well I mean yeah true but if it’s not the right color than what’s the point

https://tenor.com/view/100-real-talk-spin-gif-13161346

[flat cobalt]

It should be simple enough to swap cases, plenty of videos as well on YouTube. For the 60 and 80 it depends really if you want those extra keys and the 8K Polling, since Snap Tap/ SOCD works with all the boards. You can get any keycaps you want as long as they're MX compatible, and for the Switches there's a list here

#🪛│modding_faq message

[flat cobalt]

https://shop.wuquestudio.com/products/ws-dash-he-switch-70pcs

If I buy these I can use the stems on any jades right

[heavy escarp]

am i blind or have the black knights just not been added to the list

[polar girder]

yeah pretty sure

like it's identical to jade so yeah should be

[flat cobalt]

Hmmmmmm cause I was gonna buy an entire keyboard just to take the amethyst jades out of it

[flat cobalt]

They're there

From the bottom up number 19

[heavy escarp]

ong i’m blind

tf

thanks 😭

[flat cobalt]

[polar girder]

lol i did that. would not recommend

[flat cobalt]

[polar girder]

but for me it kind of made the whole color thing worse

so maybe it could be better for you lol

[flat cobalt]

Ohhh I was gonna do 30 Pink Jades and 30 Amethyst for the switches

[polar girder]

dang

that's gangster

[flat cobalt]

So it can match deskmat

[fluid ravine]

holeh thats nice

pretty kewl

[quiet bay]

zamn

meanwhile I just want a pure blank black deskmat 😂

[fluid ravine]

meanwhile i just want a artisan mousepad and a keebmat

[quiet bay]

o yea I want an artisan too

the hayate otsu

I kinda wish they made a deskmat version xd

that would be pretty expensive tho

[fluid ravine]

yeah i just need a XL mousepad

but shit i aint getting another mousepad anytime soon

[quiet bay]

my deskmat has lasted me for a good like 2-3 years so far 👍

the stitching they did is pretty good

[flat cobalt]

Can I just rip the top housing off of any switch to use on Jade's? Still new to all this

Like take the top housing from these

https://www.maxgaming.com/en/switches/unicorn-linear-switch

[tepid tendon]

If you dm me asking, where did you get this mat from? 😮

[flat cobalt]

I got it from here, but it was the last one they had in stock

https://desktop-arts.com/product/midnight-city-night-rider/?v=7516fd43adaa

Idk if you wanna email and ask when they'll get more

[fluid ravine]

i kinda fked up my stich on my Zowier mousepad

on the edge

very minor but disturbing since i know abt it

and i cant wash it

which is fucked

[quiet bay]

lmao

I just throw mine in the shower

and just use the showerhead to put water on it

and then leave it to dry on my railing

[quiet bay]

oh dangg last in stock wild, nice find

for 30 dollars thats nice

[flat cobalt]

Yeah! I thought it was a scam site for like the first 2 days lol

[quiet bay]

but the deskmat wouldn't match my setup at all 😂

cuz its pure white and black

[quiet bay]

fr some websites are sketchy af

[flat cobalt]

Doesn't match my current keyboard at all

So I ordered a bunch of new parts

[quiet bay]

This is mine

excluding the deskmat

[flat cobalt]

Ohhhhhh fancy

[quiet bay]

cuz I was drying it on the railing

[flat cobalt]

And evil UwU

[quiet bay]

hehe I love the stealth uwu

it's clean

honestly I use it as a fidget toy 💀

the sound profile is kinda buns tho

its really clacky

[flat cobalt]

Have you swapped the switches out by chance

[quiet bay]

naw, I dont got new switches

just lekkers

switch taped

[flat cobalt]

Neat!

I ordered the brass case today for mine vv so pretty excited for that

[quiet bay]

I like mine without the brass case

cause imo

brass case only looks good with the cream white version

[flat cobalt]

I like the regular non RGB version a lot, but ended up going with the white rgb

[quiet bay]

its ok atleast it'll still look good with the brass case lol

[flat cobalt]

Hopefully! Just gotta wait a few days now

[jade storm]

yes you can

[flat cobalt]

@cold bloom I think I just cooked

[paper bloom]

@proper dragon I had a burger for breakfast LOL

@sweet oak

[sweet oak]

Tasty

[polar girder]

You did

[flat cobalt]

I really hope something comes of it

[polar girder]

That’d be sweet

[fluid ravine]

Their website said to not wash their pads cus it could damage the stitching of the pad and could damage the adhesive glue thing under the pad

and wat not

[paper bloom]

@fluid ravineI can give u a method

Its called spray and pray method

[jade storm]

Strange. It's glass time

[paper bloom]

use the microfibre and those low detergent

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

yurp

[paper bloom]

Yes

[uneven cradle]

It's a coated pad

Solution, don't buy coated pads

[fluid ravine]

It's my first mousepad i bought

[uneven cradle]

Na its a good pad

But longevity is it's weakness

[fluid ravine]

ye ye

that i shouldve known

[uneven cradle]

If you want an upgrade you could try get your hands on a type99

[fluid ravine]

link? :p

[uneven cradle]

It's an artisan pad so it ain't cheap

Their latest mousepad

[fluid ravine]

oh :c

[fluid ravine]

oh wait it's that control pad right?

[uneven cradle]

Yeah it's pretty similar to the gsr

In speed

[fluid ravine]

ahh

Got the GSR SE Gris rn

[untold wigeon]

I love this thing

I didn’t know a cloth pad could be this nice

[fluid ravine]

D:

stop flexing!!!!!!

[fluid ravine]

What kind of pad is this

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/little-giants-muscles-flex-body-gif-8495707

[untold wigeon]

Otsu xsoft

[fluid ravine]

https://www.amazon.com/Artisan-Hayate-XSOFT-Japan-X-SOFT/dp/B0B388QFTS this one?

is it like a speed pad?

[devout torrent]

Crazy price and sketchy seller

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

how much is it usually

[safe rover]

all prices are like that from amazon

their imports

[devout torrent]

Buy direct from artisan

[untold wigeon]

Halfway I think

[devout torrent]

If you get 2 from them it’s same shipping cost

[fluid ravine]

o

[devout torrent]

https://jpgamingusa.com/products/hayateotsu

Also slightly cheaper from US retailer

So no worry about fakes

[untold wigeon]

There is a licensed artisan seller in the us.

That one ☝️

[fluid ravine]

$61.98 for me

Metal Keycaps 😮 Awekeys Full Metal Keycaps Set: Designer Collection, via @Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/awekeys/awekeys-full-metal-keycaps-set-designer-collection?ref=android_project_share

[quiet bay]

[spiral anvil]

People who like the feeling of metal I guess

I mean as a CNC person I kinda get it

[fringe quarry]

have we got new jade infos

[polar girder]

This

[polar girder]

They’re not aluminum so idc lol

[polar girder]

Yes or this

Would not recommend as Amazon

Crap shoot

[polar girder]

Price to pay for greatness

[devout torrent]

Yeah there are a couple retailers on Amazon but a shitton of fakes

Artisan is like 45 for pad and 30 shipping

But you can get 2 shipped for same shipping fee

[polar girder]

Yeah answer is just buy more artisan

EZ

[cold bloom]

the japanese yen is going through a bunch of shit rn with the stock market crash

[fluid ravine]

[jade storm]

Budget?

[cold bloom]

type 99 is my fave pad rn

I just got it but I love it so far

[polar girder]

Yeah I want that

But it’s too small

Need the 1000x500

https://www.lethal.gg/collections/lgg-saturns/products/saturn

Best deal out rn for quality cloth control pad

[fluid ravine]

ig $50

[fluid ravine]

dude id be so down to buy this but na not this time

[untold wigeon]

The one I got from Amazon was real and was only $67. And I got it next day.

[final vector]

I bought the Saturn Pro

I havent got it yet in hand

But this is my first fore into good mousepads

Till now I have been playing on normal big deskmats you get on amazon

[uneven cradle]

it's a good pad

[paper bloom]

Its p good

[fluid ravine]

Good flipping night modders

[hollow radish]

how do i take off switches without one of those fancy puller tools

[tawdry tree]

If you want to remove all your switches without a puller, just unscrew the plate and push them out from the bottom. Works quite well although your fingers might start to hurt 😂

[marsh saffron]

Still in love with my superglide pad

Glass is just so fun

[flat cobalt]

Kinda wanna buy these and take the top housing off to put them on the jades

[gloomy wing]

bro someone help

[paper bloom]

?

[gloomy wing]

these tx ap stabs will not work for me

[paper bloom]

Wassup

[paper bloom]

Its a issue with tx ap the plates wont fit in some cases

[gloomy wing]

like they installed

i mean like

they so damn scratchy

spacebar wont even return

[flat cobalt]

Did you lube them?

[gloomy wing]

even lubed them

unlubbed them

just cant fix it

[flat cobalt]

Reinstall them

[gloomy wing]

done that too

ive just been fucking with them

but nothing changes

thing is, a few of them are completely fine. its just my enter and space bar stabs

[ionic breach]

that reminds me

what happened to the modular keyboard

the one where you can swap out the whole keyboard

[flat cobalt]

Which one 😮 do you remember the name?

[ionic breach]

Flux keyboard

it's also magnet switches iirc

[flat cobalt]

Oh wow it looks crazy

[ionic breach]

ya basically low profile HE

[crimson sky]

they had a proto at a meetup in australia

and then disappeared

[ionic breach]

ya it's been years

[flat cobalt]

Page is still up so that's good right?

https://fluxkeyboard.com/?v=7516fd43adaa

[crimson sky]

yea you can also still preorder

(don't please)

[flat cobalt]

I'm not lol

[ionic breach]

their updates are private for backers only

[crimson sky]

always a good sign

[little tapir]

max 150€ I guess I just want nice ones but dont know which sites in the EU are legit etc :/

[glacial wind]

tx ap not working sometimes on 60he plate is a known thing

it's why it's not recommended to get it as a replacement stab normally

[austere creek]

oh?

[elfin garnet]

Would check out

https://oblotzky.industries/

They have GMK keycaps in your price range. The site is legit.

[crimson sky]

yea afaik they have been completely radio silent

[austere creek]

must have went really bad with the proto or the money was too tasty

[crimson sky]

also not sure how functional the proto actually was

also I think the manu that makes the finalmouse centerpiece makes that kinda board as an OEM now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frjh7u-PjlQ

altho this one is just a capactive touchscreen

[little tapir]

thanks I will check it out 🙂

[crimson sky]

oh also by the time it comes out they prob won't get a QMK license anymore

cause there is no way that they are gonna be complaint to it

[glacial wind]

that looks neat but also awful for a performance board lol

wonder how finalmouse plan to get the performance to actually compete

[crimson sky]

the centerpiece is just a regular keyboard

• a screen

[flat cobalt]

Okay ._. I'm lubing my switches when I get them time to grow up

[gloomy wing]

i got them working. i had to completely remove the lube from two of the stabs.

the rest were fine. weird

[uneven cradle]

when did they announce it like over 2 years ago

[austere linden]

yo yo. will the gateron jades have any issues with the default stabs on 60he+ module? i saw a reddit post about the space being a bit wonky.

[glacial wind]

at least a year and a half i think

[glacial wind]

no, you just add stem spacers if you have the issue

but most people don't have the issue unless they have cheap loose keycaps

[austere linden]

pbtfans pocos so hopefully no issues 🙂

[glacial wind]

if you bought your jades from wooting it also comes with the extra stabs just in case you need it

[austere linden]

ye i did, thanks for letting me know

[flat cobalt]

I bought some PBTfan Moomin Keycaps and haven't had any issues with my jades at all

[austere linden]

moomin

[flat cobalt]

No wait I think I got nicepbt

[little tapir]

what do you guys think about these keycaps?

https://oblotzky.industries/products/pbt-cherry-olivia?variant=44081839243532

[flat cobalt]

They're cute

[crimson sky]

if you like the desing the price is low enough to consider them

would not recommend paying more than their currently discounted price though

[flat cobalt]

Lol pronin

[little tapir]

i like them but bc i am new i dont know if they are good quality and legit bc the price seems to good xD

normally I saw sets for 100€+ and that confuses me

[flat cobalt]

I think PBT is meant to be good so they don't turn shiny too fast

[crimson sky]

they still turn shiny

[flat cobalt]

Do they take longer or nah?

[crimson sky]

a bit maybe, but the way regular abs shine is different from the way doubleshot abs wears

nk 5 side dyesub is prob one of the better ones btw

[flat cobalt]

Ohhhh well there's that to consider

[little tapir]

I also considered these ones:

https://candykeys.com/product/gmk-chaos-theory/base-kit-chaos

[little tapir]

what do you think?

[flat cobalt]

I was actually looking at those earlier just for fun lol

Are you going for a theme or anything? If not just get whatever you like

[flat cobalt]

Are GMKs really worth all the hype people give them?

Cause I ordered some

[crimson sky]

they are quite good

kkb is just as good and is cheaper

[little tapir]

theme not really i am jus trying to find something that i like but dont want to get scammed 😅 bc like I said its so weird for me as a newbie that many sets cost 100+ and then the olivia which i like very much out of nowhere for 70

[crimson sky]

but if the design you like is gmk then

[crimson sky]

that is the "cheap" olivia version

it already had 3 runs of gmk as well

[little tapir]

i guess that is a bad thing?

[crimson sky]

I mean it is alright

it's just something different from the more expensive GMK version

[little tapir]

hmm man i cant decide xD

[flat cobalt]

Are you in the US or EU?

[little tapir]

I am in the EU

[flat cobalt]

ah ok I don't know any shops

https://keygem.com/

[little tapir]

[flat cobalt]

https://keygem.com/products/group-buy-bolo-loveless

What about those lol

[little tapir]

not really my type 😄 i like the 2/3 color theme from the olivia and chaos if you know what i mean (base (white), spacebar/return key (pink), other keys black etc.)

[ocean widget]

Overall cheap site im from the EU as well and pretty fast shipping https://diykeycap.com/

U can even create ur own keycaps

[little tapir]

ill look into that thanks 😄 and quality is also good? 🤔

[ocean widget]

Thoo those look cool

[tawdry tree]

Won’t fit sadly. The KS-20 series stems are on the fatter side so they won’t fit through those top housings and the top housing won’t fit on a KS-20 series bottom.

[flat cobalt]

Yeah I'm just not gonna mess with them, I ordered the pink ones and the amethyst so just gonna mix and match the Pcb with them

Thank you vv

[fleet osprey]

Do i need this black stuff?

[torpid dove]

Yes i think

[spiral anvil]

Depends on if you like foamed or not

[crimson sky]

you don't need it

it's just for accoustics

[spiral anvil]

I personally use it but it's personal preference

[fleet osprey]

what is foamed?

[spiral anvil]

Like the sound of a foam dampened presses

[fleet osprey]

Do i need this for my wooting 60HE module?

[fleet osprey]

oh okay

[crimson sky]

same deal again

just for accoustics

[fleet osprey]

[spice plover]

hey why do people pay this much for keycaps on cannon when you can get them from aliexpress and stuff like this? just wondering as i am modding my kb soon too!

[harsh dove]

For higher quality keycaps

Not all keycaps are created equal

[spice plover]

is there a feeling difference? or is just that these "sets" offer better color coordination and such?

[harsh dove]

Feeling, Acoustics, Color Options, etc

[spice plover]

ty for the responses im still just looking around and saw that blackout sale was interesting

just dont know when the 60he+ module will be out wanted to order it all at the same time but

[harsh dove]

Yeah of course, feel free to ask about anything you’re curious about

[spice plover]

would be this blackout sale thing. it says its a "group buy" or something do you know what that means?

[harsh dove]

Basically that the product isn’t created yet and the group buy will essentially fund the production for said product and you can expect to receive it at a later date, possibly a few months to a few years later

[spice plover]

ty so much cam

that makes a lot of sense

just wondering @harsh dove what are you running in your kb currently?

[harsh dove]

Yeah of course!

With my Wooting60HE, I’m currently running a Silver Frog Mini, POM Plate, 60A Tadpoles, Geon RAW HE switches, stock Wooting stabs, silicone sandwich pad, no case foam, no tape mod, X-Ray Keycaps

[bitter pasture]

pic? 👀

[harsh dove]

Not like best pic but

[bitter pasture]

looks clean

[harsh dove]

Thank you

[bitter pasture]

im still trying to find the best switches for it

[spice plover]

haha nice had to look up that frog mini

i was gonna get the jade switches because everyone knows more money = better switches right xD

[harsh dove]

If you like the jades, check out the RAW HE

[spice plover]

ive never tried jades either

[bitter pasture]

im using jades rn theyre nice

[spice plover]

im still on stock 60he no +

first time modding everything

so kind of looking around and trying to figure out what would work best for me

[spice plover]

did you switch from stock aswell? or have like exp with other switches?

[spice plover]

and i will check them out now!

[bitter pasture]

everything i have on mine isnt stock

i tried sticky rice, raptors, ws dash, jades and gateron orange switches (forgot the name)

so far i like the jades more

[spice plover]

Wow I love your style choice

[harsh dove]

Here’s those switches in my current build for reference

[spice plover]

Dude that looks beautiful. That case really is nice! The photo you showed really doesn’t do justice lol

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s why I was like not the best pic lol

[spice plover]

Is there anything to be aware of if I’m looking for the “best performance” switches but also want a really good sound profile as secondary ?

[harsh dove]

Just make sure you choose a compatible switch really, we have a spreadsheet in #🪛│modding_faq

[stone flax]

full build specs if u dont mine me asking :v

looks like frog mini, raws, and pbtfans xray?

[drifting bronze]

I have some problems with my tofu my cable isnt long enough to fully go in the port so it has a bad connection and disconnects fast

@bitter pasture does your cable fully go in the port?

[bitter pasture]

yes

[drifting bronze]

Wait can i dm you so you can help me?

[bitter pasture]

im currently driving rn lol when im back i can text u

send a dm ill reply

[harsh dove]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[stone flax]

wow do raws make a difference!

are those stock

?

[neon harbor]

raw he

ordering mine rn

[ocean widget]

Im gonna wait for lekker v2’s

[fossil pagoda]

do glorious keycaps work on wooting board?

[safe stag]

Why do I have these in my jades box

[glacial wind]

in case you need/want long pole distance stabs

so that if you run into the keycap wobble issue due to loose keycaps then you can just swap the stab bit out

[floral jacinth]

430 euros for a salvation case, do you think it's worth it?

[safe stag]

I'll do it before, even if it's maybe useless, I don't want to disassamble my keyboard another time

[tawdry tree]

If you’re using stock keycaps, you won’t have an issue. It can be messy changing the stab stems out as they come prelubed.

[safe stag]

I don't use the stock keycaps since they don't exist in pbt french iso

[cold bloom]

Might be the full pcb too with that, novel keys and ashkeebs sell the case only but are in NA

[tawdry tree]

Ah, I see. Well you can try the spacebar, to see if it’ll be necessary. Or you can swap the stab stems anyway, up to you.

[elfin garnet]

It’s actually nice that they include that. Didn’t know that until today

[safe stag]

me too

[harsh dove]

Yes

[calm pulsar]

20/61 switches fully cleaned & relubed, damn this is so tedious

[harsh dove]

Pretty sure Tirade helped make that happen iirc

[calm pulsar]

ohh that's super nice

[glacial wind]

i'm impressed they did the actual stem bits. I was expecting just a pack of stem spacers thrown in, but they actually did the entire stem

[elfin garnet]

That’s dope

[drifting bronze]

@elfin garnet do you have a tofu?

[untold wigeon]

anyone have a good reccomendation for a mid-tier case to replace on my 60he, ive made a couple custom keyboards before but im looking to mod my wooting as its my main keyboard

[polar girder]

Klippe-T

Or tofu redux with brass or Alumaze

If you want to upgrade above that it would be salvation or Fjell

Or if you can find a second hand frog mini

[left knot]

Alright guys, stupid question; They are selling these in 10 per pack. I am ordering 70 switches just to be safe. Wooting has 61 keys yeah?

[polar girder]

Yes

[left knot]

Pog ty

[viscid gulch]

My first good keyboard
Tofu case
Gateron jades
Tape mod
milkyway 2DGF keycaps

[sweet oak]

Looks so tasty

[viscid gulch]

And it feels and sounds amazing

[sweet oak]

[polar girder]

Very nice

Giving eggnog

Yum yum

[sleek wagon]

Gateron jade or l45, finally getting around to replacing the l60's I overlubed lol

[little tapir]

which wooting case do you guys think would match best to these caps? 🤔

[elfin garnet]

Yes. How come?

[quiet bay]

that or white

[little tapir]

wait wooting has a green case? o.o

[flat cobalt]

Honestly for long term white

[flat cobalt]

https://kbdfans.com/products/tofu60-redux-case?variant=41734373507211

[little tapir]

ahh i see

[broken cape]

tbh black would work too on those keycaps

[stone flax]

did u do a force break on the frog?

[harsh dove]

Yes

[stone flax]

ic

which points did u do em on if u dont mind me asking?

@harsh dove

[polar girder]

What’s Force break?

[drifting bronze]

Guys is this good?

[polar girder]

Just line it up with the usb port of the PCB

[flat cobalt]

I got him up against the ropes

[polar girder]

I just left mine unscrewed and got it lined up then pulled out PCB then screws it down

[paper crag]

The packaging on this cable is criminally sexy

[polar girder]

Boss shit lol

Nice

[paper crag]

@harsh dove

You lied to me brother

You can not separate the wooting foam

I started peeling

And it tore a hole through the middle

[harsh dove]

All the screw holes

[harsh dove]

I swore you could separate it

[polar girder]

You can

I did

But they are glued

He just sucks at pulling things apart slow and methodically I guess

[paper crag]

That's exactly what I did

Just like taking a seal off a brand new TV

Nice and slow

And it tore straight through

[polar girder]

Yeah they can be separated YMMV

[broken cape]

can you guys recommend some coiled cables which are not braided but instead just rubberised?

[quiet bay]

You weren't careful enough ig

[polar girder]

Skill issue

[drifting bronze]

I need some help man

[urban harbor]

that seems insane unless its an out of stock color

https://salvun.com/products/salvation?variant=39291619442734

[quiet bay]

Hell no

[sweet oak]

God copper slag for the salvation is so good

[quiet bay]

mm Raw HE is now on divinikey..

I wanna see if there are going to be thockier switches 😩

[sweet oak]

[quiet bay]

but raw HE still very good

[harsh dove]

Yeah I knew that

[harsh dove]

But yeah seen peeps separate it

[untold wigeon]

Which is better

[sweet oak]

Caps lock light bar my beloved

[spiral anvil]

RAW HE IS OUT ON DIVINIKEY

BUY BUY BUY

@fluid ravine

[calm pulsar]

he has raws tho

[spiral anvil]

Oh wait who was it

[quiet bay]

optional

[untold wigeon]

What’s the difference between the two

I wanna get one

[quiet bay]

just produces diff sound profile and feel

[untold wigeon]

But idk which

[paper crag]

Gotta be done I leave it on accidentally way too often

[quiet bay]

uhh

Imo I like Carbon Fiber ig

[sweet oak]

I feel that

[drifting bronze]

How do i fix this?

[quiet bay]

sounds like ticking

[drifting bronze]

Yea

How do i fix it?

[quiet bay]

ig I'd see if the wire is balanced first

[drifting bronze]

Ah thats gonna make a huge mess shit man

[quiet bay]

I think there's also something that you can put on your wire

like a heatshrink

or some soft tape or bandaid on it

something like this

[untold wigeon]

Is the brass weight worth it

[quiet bay]

I'd say so if you don't want a bit of a hollow sound

[drifting bronze]

But my stabelizers are lubed😭

[stray tiger]

@uneven cradle @sweet oak check your DM's if you havent in the last few days (or DM me if youre confused about why)

[sweet oak]

Ive checked mine

[stark osprey]

https://divinikey.com/products/geon-raw-he-linear-switches Now available from California. 18pc x 4 sets (72 switches) = $35 no shipping.

[quiet bay]

Just a mod you can try to see if it works

you can wipe off the lube and apply it on later

actually im pretty sure you can apply lube on top of the mod

[drifting bronze]

Is.there no easier way?

[quiet bay]

I mean I balanced my wire and gave a generous amount of lube on it

so I got no ticking or rattle

[drifting bronze]

I did that to but it started ticking out of nowhere

[stray tiger]

Try a different keycap and see if it goes away or try turning the keycap around

[quiet bay]

dang beat me to it 😭

was gonna say keycap could be warped or smth

[ocean widget]

I think its only me who scared of lube switches LOL

[stray tiger]

No reason to be scared.

[fluid ravine]

I have been pinged

[ocean widget]

[drifting bronze]

It is still there

[ocean widget]

I mean lubing switches takes ages and im lazy

[polar girder]

Someone wants you to buy more RAW HE

[stray tiger]

Ahh so you're not scared you're lazy

[ocean widget]

A little bit of both

[proper dragon]

isnt it near impossible to ruin the switch

[stray tiger]

Then you need to tune your stabilizer. Id take it out and start from scratch if it's bothering you. The https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399 has a good video on how to do it.

[ocean widget]

I never did it and i dont have any equipment for it lol

[stray tiger]

Worst case is you over lube and then you need to clean it out and do it again

[proper dragon]

i mean, unlike mehcanical switches, you can ruin with over lubing

right?

[stray tiger]

No, you would just make them too mushy and need to clean them and start over.

[fluid ravine]

More?!

[stray tiger]

Less is more with lube, you are looking for a light consistent lube, not a lot of lube

[devout torrent]

too bad I already orderd from geon LOL

would have been way cheaper

[safe stag]

I can confirm it takes ages

[proper dragon]

how long does lube even last

approximately

[stray tiger]

Takes 3-4 hours your first time, eventually you can get it down to 1.5-2 hours for about 70 switches

[devout torrent]

yeah thats why I orderd from geon lol

got some tadpoles and stuff

ya I did and sure

[ocean widget]

I mean it should give a better quality for the switch sound wise i guess right ?

[crimson sky]

btw geon has 3d models for renders of all his cases public

that have mounting removed

https://geon.works/pages/keyboard-3d-model-for-render

👍

just wanted to mention it in case it helps with tolerances etc

you can get single plates made for cheap

for sure is cheaper than a 2 part case

3?

ah

mid pieces always are sussy

no like

they are REALLY hard to pull of so they don't clatter around

we are talking about gok

that guy spent a few dozen k on type-k protos

geon force break?

yea you would need to force break the entire mid and bottom piece

which would also mess with the sound profile

[stray tiger]

Do you mean switches?

Can you send me a link to what you're referring to?

[safe stag]

That

[stray tiger]

Ohhh the stab inserts. Ok Im with you

No videos yet, but some are coming but it's the same as with any stabilizer. When you take the original stabilizer out, you can remove the stock insert and replace it with the new one. Throw a little lube on it first

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxHb6CJc9V8

I would highly advise lubing them if they are not lubed but it doesnt hurt if you don't, just might make them scratchy sounding.

Also, you may not even need to switch them out. They come with the jades but arent required for most keycaps

Yes

[ocean widget]

Soo lubing the switches are worthy right?

[uneven cradle]

Usually

[stray tiger]

Probably the single best mod you can do and one of the easiest. Just takes time

[ocean widget]

In that regard i think tape mode is easier for me lol

[stray tiger]

Tape mod doesnt do much (if anything in some cases). So while it's easy, it provides very little change

[ocean widget]

[rich hinge]

Raw HE is relatively cheap compared to jades, $28 more than if you got lekkers

[cold bloom]

such a good deal

I kinda wanna try some of the other geon switches after trying the Raw HEs

like their mx gaming switches

[rich hinge]

i will have to wait for founders to test lekkers v2 switches, idk how much switches change the feel of the keyboard

[uneven cradle]

Might have to do a big geon order

[cold bloom]

I want that cookie's n cream frog TKL SOOOOO bad

[uneven cradle]

It is a good looking board

I'm still waiting for the f2-60

[cold bloom]

real

[uneven cradle]

Still want to pick up black snail and some of the unlubed cherry mx2a blacks

[sweet oak]

might get raws on divinikey

[flat cobalt]

The sale is up on Cannonkeys btw guys

Got the Fuji and Peach

[sweet oak]

[quiet bay]

dang already lol?

[polar girder]

I didn’t see anything I like

[flat cobalt]

I know some people are hyped over the DCS 9009

[flat cobalt]

They looked cute lol

[sweet oak]

oooh gmk peaches is an animal crossing based set?

[flat cobalt]

Idk :c the artisan gives me animal crossing vibes

[sweet oak]

definitely looks like it from the 2 artisans

[quiet bay]

Btw got a question, were these stock raw hes?

[flat cobalt]

Someone sent me a pic of the peach Keycaps

[sweet oak]

oh they are so pretty

[untold wigeon]

That version, yes. That was before I did the spring swap. You can tell by how weak the spacebar is lol. 50g no bueno.

[quiet bay]

dangg

[untold wigeon]

Ohhhh I LOVE peaches and cream ❤️❤️❤️

[quiet bay]

yeah they sound hella good without even lubing them

[flat cobalt]

The keycaps look yummy

[untold wigeon]

The Raws are already lubed aren’t they?

[cold bloom]

yes

[polar girder]

Meant hand lube vs stock lube obvi

[untold wigeon]

I thought so. I don’t understand then

[errant ridge]

Guys, can someone send me a video of wooting before and after lubrication

[untold wigeon]

Ooooohhhh. Got it

[stark osprey]

Tempted to get another set for 80he, but also wondering how V2 Lekkers will be

[sweet oak]

very edible

[ocean widget]

Can i take a bite out of it ?

Im hungry

[harsh dove]

What I miss

[quiet bay]

I signed up for divinikeys email for the 5 dollar coupon only to find out it can only be used on orders of 75 dollars+ ;-;

idk if I can share the coupon

cause I wont be able to use it 😭

[grave kiln]

whats the easiest way to make your wooting creamy and thocky

[flat cobalt]

https://divinikey.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/mw-underland-keycap-set

These cute

[quiet bay]

Switch out for better sounding switches and

f o a m

w/ pc plate

[sweet oak]

oooooh

[spice plover]

Are the mystery sets worth going for ?

[harsh dove]

Lube your switches, use pc plate and foam sandwich pad if you have it, depending on case, friction mount it and use polyfill instead of case foam. Also going to depend on switches and also these sound profiles are subjective, what may sound creamy or thocky to you, may not sound like that to someone else.

[rapid sedge]

https://youtu.be/Pb-i9ak2DWM?t=615 nothng beats this sound

[spice plover]

The gmk Fuji is def my favorite from the ones on sale though

The peach is a little too peachy

[rapid sedge]

the novelties are really nice

[flat cobalt]

._. I hope there's a Tofu77.5

[spice plover]

Are the novelties 62$ separate ?

Cause that sucks if the whole set is 50$ and those nice novelties are 62$ by themselves

[sweet oak]

That would be so nice

[flat cobalt]

If you buy the base set

You get a discount on the novelties and artisans

[flat cobalt]

Whaaaaa since when are you volunteer

Congrats

[sweet oak]

Thank you! I got it today, so im learning

[flat cobalt]

Very well deserved

[noble wraith]

Does anyone know best place to get custom wooting tags ?

[spice plover]

Idk going through the reviews on the sets on sale they seem to kinda mislead the color and size of font

[fluid ravine]

Volunteer?!

Congrats

[spice plover]

Anywhere else you guys would recommend to get the best quality key caps ?

[fluid ravine]

Wooting ima need a child role!!!

wut

[sweet oak]

The original 80he founder role color being yellow

[cedar gate]

How do you get woothelp role anyways

[fluid ravine]

LOL

[cedar gate]

Idek how to get the I have wooting role

[fluid ravine]

You would have to sign a NDA to get Woothelp

Must be the age of 18+ to get it

[sweet oak]

You can get the ihavewooting by linking your discord to the wooting hub

[fluid ravine]

I would but I'm underaged

[sweet oak]

Im almost finished being an undergrad

[untold wigeon]

I just logged one day and had it

[sweet oak]

In college i clarify

[fluid ravine]

In my second year of HS

[quiet bay]

[silver ingot]

thinking about making a custom plate for the wooting 60 HE. anyone know what the standoff dimensions are?

You people make me feel old. I started HS 30 years ago

[drifting bronze]

wait i did bandaid mod but with relubing my stabelizers the bandaid became a bit wet with lube is that bad?

[untold wigeon]

What kind of lube?

[drifting bronze]

the stabelizer lube from wooting

this is how mine sounds like now

[untold wigeon]

As long as it’s non conductive should be ok. Were the stabs dry when you did the tape mod?

[drifting bronze]

yes

[untold wigeon]

I would think it’s ok. Sounds fine

[drifting bronze]

it was molykote em50L

[silver ingot]

this audio is so binaural i started to believe that I was the keyboard being typed on

[cedar gate]

Ig I could do that might not be worth the trouble

[cedar gate]

You'll get it over with eventually it sucks ik

[sweet oak]

[cedar gate]

Damn good and bad memories from that place

[cedar gate]

Band aid mod is kinda only for bad stabs wooting stabs don't need it it may just make them mushy

[drifting bronze]

oh mine where loose and now there alot better

[cedar gate]

Fr I think the FAQ specifically says not to do it

[drifting bronze]

oh shit

but can the bandaid break something or SO?

[cedar gate]

STABILIZERS:

Q. Do I need to replace or modify the stabilizers and which stabilizers should I buy?

A. The stock stabilizers are great! Most people find them comparable to Durock brand stabilizers in both quality and feel. While the stabilizers do come lubed from the factory, lubing them yourself is a great way to get them feeling and sounding even better. Common mods aimed at fixing very noisy or rattling stabilizers bars (e.g. Holee Mod, Bandaid Mod or Stabilizer Clipping) are rarely ever needed on the Wooting keyboards and have been known to produce undesirable results in some cases. If you still have the urge to replace your stabilizers, be sure to select quality plate-mount stabilizers for the 60HE (screw-in and clip-in stabilizers are only supported on the 60HE+ module). Additionally, be sure your new stabs include a 6.25u size spacebar wire and are for 1.6mm thick PCB's.

For understanding how to properly lube and tube your stabilizers I high recommend this video from alexotos - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxHb6CJc9V8

[cedar gate]

Idk that's just what thockfather said

[drifting bronze]

ah ok ill remove it thgen

thanks

[cedar gate]

Idk if you should tho tbh🤣

[drifting bronze]

but then the lube vomes on the pcb?

[drifting bronze]

NOW IM CONFUSED BRO

[lethal saffron]

Yo, I just spilled some water w magnesium tab onto my wooting. Got the keycaps out and dried them (weren't that soaked actually). Didnt take the PCB off tho. Do I need to worry abt the spillage or do i need to take the PCB off also to see if it caused any damage?

[cedar gate]

The only reason it's bad is that it makes your stab keys feel mushy

Do they feel mushy

If they do then remove it

If not I think your fine and your just a special case

[drifting bronze]

they dont tbh

it was really thin bandaid to so

[cedar gate]

Yeah your just a very special case I never heard of band aid mod being needed on wooting but ig it worked for you so?

[drifting bronze]

actually really thin

[drifting bronze]

yeah but my question was can it break my wooting becouse i lubed my stabelizers to and now the bandaid is a bit whet from the lube so ? is that bad?

[cedar gate]

I doubt it

[fluid ravine]

i would be happy to serve wooting

lul

[cedar gate]

Unless you put so much lube in your stabs it overflows into your kb then no

[fluid ravine]

but oh well their rules i follow

[drifting bronze]

no that not

[cedar gate]

Yes we must please lord wooting

[drifting bronze]

i think i will just remove it reral quick

[cedar gate]

Actually is it better with band aid

[drifting bronze]

huh?

[cedar gate]

Like noticeably better?

[drifting bronze]

whay do you mean the feelN

?

[cedar gate]

Yeah feel sound wtvr is it better

If it is you may have gotten a faulty copy of stabs

[drifting bronze]

feel yes sound idk ill send a soundtest of my stabs

[cedar gate]

I would consider getting a stab swap

[drifting bronze]

why they just got used much

[cedar gate]

If your stabs need band aid they are probably faulty

[drifting bronze]

one thing is i use jades and i relubbed my stab

[cedar gate]

I'm honestly not sure tho I'm kind of confused at wooting benefiting from band aid it's supposed to make durock feel worse

[cedar gate]

THAT WAS IT NOW I KNOW

Did you buy your jades from wooting

[drifting bronze]

yea

[cedar gate]

They should have came with long pole stabs try those

And you shouldn't need band aid anymore

[polar girder]

Make sure PCB is dry 100%

I would definitely take it out and make sure

[drifting bronze]

but now i fixed it why would i disasemble my wooting again and then reasamble with the messy job of lubing all my stabs again

[polar girder]

I wouldn’t be caring about the keycaps. But about the whole thing being fried

So long as you get it dry it probably ok tho

I hope you immediately unplugged it

Could wipe with isopropyl alcohol to aid evaporation. Maybe not necessary tho

[silver ingot]

ok so accorting to the CAD file I need standoffs that are no longer than 3.5mm but at least 3.5mm in diameter

idk why this information was so hard to find

[cedar gate]

The thing is gatreon jades have a travel distance of 3.5 mm

And the stabs have a travel distance of 4mm

That means your stabs are pushing down farther than your switch and this can cause a weird feel

[drifting bronze]

yea but i dont have any problem with mushy stabelizers

[cedar gate]

You just said they feel weird and they need to be fixed with band aid mod

Long pole stabs have a travel distance of 3.5 mm to match your switch

So that should fix it

[drifting bronze]

yea but now it has that it feels good and i dont have any problems

[cedar gate]

Well if your happy with it keep it ig

But I'm pretty sure removing band aid mod and swapping to long pole stabs will help

Plus even if you have to relube its not 61 switches its just a few stabs

Syrnge some in there and your good to go

[drifting bronze]

broo i spent a hour lubing my switch but with the jades it first didn't come back up but with the jades so i changed it for a lekker to work it it for a bit but now it works just fine with the jades so ? what do you think

[lethal saffron]

Tysm

[stray tiger]

Sounds good to me. I'd leave it

[cedar gate]

Wait I'm confused

Your using lekkers rn?

[drifting bronze]

@stray tiger the bandaid to?

What are some must have mods? Today i changed case, switches and keycaps? What else can i do

[stray tiger]

The majority of people will not need to swap the stabilizer stems when using the Jades.

[cedar gate]

There are no must have mods just do what you think you will like (I would tape mod tho)👍

[stray tiger]

There are no most have mods. If you havent lubed yet, that's what we typically recommend doing.

[pine shoal]

I heard about tape mod, is that safe though? Idk if its good for the pcb

[drifting bronze]

Yea but I have the bandaid mod should i remove it or leave it and what about my my message with the lekkers and jades

[pine shoal]

I put jade switches in which should be factory lubed, would you recommend hand lubing them extra?

[cedar gate]

Yeah it's fine do it on the back tho not the front and use paper back tape

[stray tiger]

Mods are used to fix or change something. If you're happy with the board, then you're good!

[cedar gate]

The lube on jades is pretty good i would say no need

[pine shoal]

Fair fair

[cedar gate]

It's like 99% there you probably won't tell a difference

[pine shoal]

Maybe a coiled cable would be cool cuz im still using the black/yellow stock cable now 😅

[cedar gate]

Yeah coileds are cool but use the wooting one others may screw with tachyon

[stray tiger]

It's all preference. Even the kind of cable you prefer. Some people love the look of coiled cables, some don't.

Thockfather was better not gonna lie

[pine shoal]

So yea before and after, pretty happy with it

[spice plover]

looks amazing

[stray tiger]

Name change was for a specific reason (more info coming soon)

[spice plover]

how long did it take for ur 60+he module to come in?

[fluid ravine]

[stray tiger]

It will change back in the future 🙂

[drifting bronze]

Should I remove the bandaid mod?

[stray tiger]

Why did you do a band-aid mod?

[drifting bronze]

The stabelizers where a bit loose

[quiet bay]

woah...

[pine shoal]

I also read some stuff about a burger mount, is that something to look into?

[flat cobalt]

Once I get these 2 things my keyboard is complete

[stray tiger]

That wouldn't fix that issue

[spice plover]

lol that sounds like the most ghetto fix ever

[stray tiger]

So yes I'd remove the Band-Aids

[spice plover]

yeah let me just put bandaids all over my car suspension next

[drifting bronze]

Ok so it's not bad thar there will je lube on the pcb then?

[stray tiger]

Nope

[spice plover]

my wooting is 60% lube

[sonic sierra]

Would the TTC Magneto switches have too strong magnets for the 80HE?

[stray tiger]

They haven't been tested yet so it's unknown.

[sonic sierra]

No worries, thanks

[cedar gate]

Yea like I said band aid is usually not a good idea on wooting

Your problem is probably the stabs

[viscid gulch]

how many layers of tape mod do you guys use for your wooting keyboards?

[cedar gate]

3

[viscid gulch]

did you try it with one layer or direcly 3

?

wondering if i should add 2 more layers since i have 1 layer right now

[cedar gate]

I did one then 2 and it was an improvement

Then I did 3 and improvement

[viscid gulch]

oh really might add 2 more layers tomorrow then 😄

[cedar gate]

Then I did 4 and no improvement

So I took off one and stuck with 3

[viscid gulch]

got the keyboard today it's my first ever built keyboard so thats nice

went with the jades and tofu case and some custom keycaps feels really nice

[cedar gate]

Aren't you sander? And you just got your wooting???

[viscid gulch]

xcd

that 's what i am saying maybe i should try to impersonate the fake sander and joink a free wooting 80he

[cedar gate]

Wait fake sander?

[viscid gulch]

yeah i am the original dont worry

[cedar gate]

Xd
