If it was full ducks and a stretched out duck keycap I would buy it

[untold wigeon]

If it were a third of the price I’d be all over it

All different colors too.

[untold wigeon]

Sumgsn:

Mintcaps:

Which ones do you prefer? You will be the one using them after all.

What color is your case?

I’d pick the one with white to offset the colors if it were me

Make sure to look at all the negative reviews because a lot of companies push fake and positive reviews to get you to buy.

[uneven cradle]

Akko use to but they've moved away from clone sets now - I've never used one of their sets so couldn't speak to the quality

[stone flax]

aifei

[hard flower]

Finally swapped L60 for Jades on the 2HE. Wow

[quiet bay]

sound test ?

[hard flower]

I'll have to grab one in a bit

Any reason the Windows key would refuse to light up/work after? It's not for some reason

Nevermind, restoring the firmware fixed it

[cold bloom]

Clear electronics ftw

[sick venture]

What’s the thing on the right?

[prime ridge]

https://www.ipopularshop.com/products/ttc-king-of-magnetic-switch?variant=43951877030038

Anyone have thoughts on these? Saw a Jerror video but, want other opinions as well. I remember TTC having really good qc when it came to their MX switches. Wonder if that translate to their HE switches.

[polar girder]

Looks like the gamakay phoenix silent switch

[tidal frigate]

You like to see naked pcb

[kind sky]

should i hand lube the raw hes

or just lube springs

[cyan zodiac]

Hand lube them

[polar girder]

Just springs

[glacial wind]

not super worth unless you really want to do their stem swap system thing

Raw he seem just as tight stem wobble wise so really you’re paying a lot for the stem swap system if you go for the ttc switches

[cold bloom]

love it

[cold bloom]

g303 shroud, just using it while traveling lol

[spice plover]

whats that

[stone flax]

bauer lite

[cold bloom]

it's a rouge bauer lite from omnitype, it's an injected pc case and it slaps for only like 130$

lots of dope colours too

[fluid ravine]

"Stole" this from my mom

i finna cut it up as case foam and see what it like

[cold bloom]

bauer lite is easily my fave travel keyboard rn

I used to have one of those slim apple keyboards but this is so light and dope

sounds amazing for the price

[cold bloom]

OOOO

I see you haven't changed your IEM cable location thackson

please take it out from the bottom of your keeb LOL

[fluid ravine]

yea xd

[cold bloom]

turn it to the right

put it around the side

PLEASE

[fluid ravine]

no

[cold bloom]

yes

[fluid ravine]

not until i get a keebmat >:)

[cold bloom]

please

I'm begging

[fluid ravine]

hehehehehhehehe

[cold bloom]

my ocd won't let me sleep

until you do

[fluid ravine]

You shall stay awake

[cold bloom]

you're a wild man

what's the point

[paper bloom]

You not sleeping

LOL

[fluid ravine]

Just cut it up

didnt nothing

[sick venture]

Did u put it in yet?

[spice plover]

dr dave

soon we will be blood brothers

or KB case brothers as they say

@cold bloom

[stone flax]

Shelf liner mod haha!

Thats actually pretty old

[static socket]

Hi! Is there a fake gateron jade switches? Just find a 40 USD for a 65pcs switch

[paper crag]

Anyone know what the grey stems are for that come with jades?

[flat cobalt]

Just saw the pic

[polar girder]

the sudden temptation to buy GMK Dark

just missed a set on MM lolz

[fluid ravine]

yeah i did

[fluid ravine]

yeah i just saw some in my moms room and just cut it up without a thought

Like anything i see that can be use as a case foam i just toss it in there just to see if it works finje

otherwise, polyfill all the way :>

[light agate]

does anyone have a better suggestion for a bakery/bread themed keyboard, i'm very set on making a keyboard set around those keycaps but idk if i should get this board or the june60

[languid forge]

Does anyone know when X-RAY keycaps are available again?

is there a way to check it?

https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-x-ray?variant=42641755701387

^ These

[sick venture]

big sad

[languid forge]

YYYYYYYYYYYYY??

what is R2?

[sick venture]

Idk

This was in the KBDFans discord

[languid forge]

is this a garantee?

[sick venture]

There may be other retailers still selling them, but it’s highly unlikely

You could check omnitype

[sick venture]

Tho, they are very popular so there is a good chance they will remake them

[languid forge]

i beg

How long does it usually take if theyre popular to restock ya think?

[sick venture]

Idk

They are very one off things so it could take weeks or months

[languid forge]

hmmm

[sick venture]

I would stay connected in the KBDFans discord and on their instagram

[languid forge]

agreed

where should I look on the KBDFans discord for looking out for X-Rays?

[sick venture]

Maybe in production channel, you could ask a staff member in there tho

I usually use it for looking at builds so I wouldn’t know lol

[ashen karma]

R2 = round 2

[languid forge]

By R2 is it like a new version or just a ROUND 2 of selling the same product?

[languid forge]

based

[calm pulsar]

you gotta save yourself for gmk cosmos

[ionic breach]

depends

[polar girder]

I’m low key scared I won’t like the sparkle

[glacial wind]

i'd look around to try find leftover 1.5 stock

[ionic breach]

on the designer's whims

[glacial wind]

there's no date for r2 yet so there's not much point digging around yet for dates

[calm pulsar]

maybe the blank mtnu is a good choice for you then? cause it also should sound deeper than cherry profile

[polar girder]

Yeah idk if I’m cool enough for blanks tho

[glacial wind]

For example: https://ilumkb.com/products/pbtfans-x-ray ilumkb still has stock for their 1.5 restock @languid forge

[polar girder]

The graphite set?

It is tempting

[calm pulsar]

yeah I meant this one

[polar girder]

Or the PBS black on black

[calm pulsar]

might look crazy on a black frog

[polar girder]

Fr

Do want to try those graphite mtnu tho

Just not a cheap try out lol

I’m also not a big fan of the deep dish F/J

Need the etch

[calm pulsar]

hmm gmk do come with etched F/J, I always use them, but that's on their cherry sets, not sure about MTNU

does look like there are additional F/J

but no etch it seems

[polar girder]

Yeah I think they’re doing the deep dish style tho

Yeah

[polar girder]

Yeah maybe the PBS black on black or cosmos the move

Graphite not it for me tho

Cool looking set tho

[calm pulsar]

yeah super unique

I still like cherry more

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m not attached to any profile really

Like trying other stuff out

[calm pulsar]

not sure I really need gmk cosmos now that I think of it, cause my frog will be silver
my gmk taiga will be good with the silver frog

might still order cosmos for an MX build in my black freebird60

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m not as smitten with cosmos as most are

But I feel like I need to order it so I don’t regret it later lol

They are neat

[paper bloom]

Yo

[polar girder]

I’ll definitely scoop these tho

Need that BoB type shit

[paper bloom]

Meanwhile you got me waiting for the optimum case which might not COME UNTIL NEXT YEAR

and for that id be in service already 🗿

[calm pulsar]

yeah I think the change to sparkly base color is good, cause the previous variant looked good only on renders

[polar girder]

I did no such thing lol

[paper bloom]

Yes we know bigs

[polar girder]

Yeah it’s pretty sweet

[languid forge]

how would I do that?

[languid forge]

just saw this ty

@glacial wind

By "1.5 Stock" what do you mean

It's still the same X-RAY keycaps on all the other websites, yes?

[calm pulsar]

hey @harsh dove, where did you get your custom frog plate and does it support wider stabs like TX AP or Durock V3?

screw-ins I mean

[cyan zodiac]

you can make a preorder on https://cafege.com.au/products/pre-order-pbtfans-x-ray-keycaps?_pos=1&_psq=x+ray&_ss=e&_v=1.0

[glacial wind]

it's same. 1.5 is just what they're calling the incoming batch because it's technically part of batch 1

just a second round of batch 1 that took longer to make

[mighty walrus]

Question about the 60he non-plus: Can I replace just the top plate, and use screw-in stabs?

Or is the whole module PCB thing designed for specific stabs?

[calm pulsar]

no, screw-in stabs are mounted to the PCB and the non-plus doesnt have required holes

so you can only use plate mounted stabs

[mighty walrus]

Okay cool.

[calm pulsar]

they arent bad by any means, there are some good ones like Durock V3 or TX AP plate mounts

but the stock ones are good enough if they are tuned properly

[flat cobalt]

I'm just waiting on the tamagotchi keycaps -3-

[copper glade]

ordered some black knight switches just so i can get less stem wobble and i might get some new screew in stabs soon, trying to make my wooting 60he as close to the 80he just so i can still have that 60% form factor lol

[ionic breach]

https://tenor.com/view/omni-man-invincible-look-what-they-need-to-mimic-a-fraction-of-our-power-gif-25672186

[copper glade]

lmao

[stone elbow]

I saw that for friction mounting the 60he+ module, you need graveshift gummy o ring with stock stabilizers, but idk what to take for the hardness, what's the impact?

[spice plover]

I’m realizing now the 2 most important parts of a comfortable typing and gaming experience happen to be the 2 cheapest things. lube + springs of choice. xD build coming soon to confirm this or deny it.

[polar girder]

https://youtu.be/9K4878uceUU

Is this sweet? Lol

[spice plover]

I’m doing this tomorrow or Tuesday when my case gets here

[spice plover]

Have you personally done this bigsly?

[calm pulsar]

on closed bottom switches you might want to remove excessive lube on the magnet

I feel like it can get mushy with the lube at the bottom

[polar girder]

No

[neon tiger]

to burger mount or not to burger mount ?

what do we mod ? tape mod ? lubes ?

so many things to learn

[spice plover]

what do you have currently

[neon tiger]

keyboards have not arrived yet Sir

but bought the lube kit

thinking of buying geon raw HEs

andddd some burger mounts but I dont know where to start

LOL

[glacial wind]

ah another man to join us as a raw he chad

[neon tiger]

hello brotha sno

[exotic inlet]

Do somebody know where I can get those in EU?

I only found it in US or Asian shops

[cyan zodiac]

i would not recommend this but if you are really lazy then ig you can do it

[stone elbow]

wow the geon raw he are inexpensive... before shipping that is

[cyan zodiac]

cause geon has good connections with manufacture

[exotic inlet]

Through their website shipping is more expensive than the switches themselves

[stone elbow]

how are they compared to gateron magnetic jades?

[calm pulsar]

less wobble, softer bottom out, so they're even closer to a conventional mechanical switch

[neon tiger]

yes if im not wrong

ships from korea

hence the expensive shipping

[spice plover]

honestly switches keycaps lube and springs if u want to are the best cheapest things i think

[calm pulsar]

they are also sold on divinikey and soon on cafege

[spice plover]

idk just my opinion

[stone elbow]

oh that's interesting, i might grab them whenever i'm bored and want change

[neon tiger]

whats that

haha

[calm pulsar]

online stores

[spiral anvil]

Honestly don't feel like they need lubing minus the springs

I just swapped in my Raptor springs and I've been loving them

[grand vector]

I have a question about the wooting 60HE. Can I use any switches on the Keyboard or do they need to be Gateron Jades?

[calm pulsar]

they have to be compatible magnetic switches, there are other magnetic switches apart from jades

[calm pulsar]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399

[neon tiger]

oh haha

i live in SG so we dont have that here hehe

[neon tiger]

raptor HE ?

they really dont need lubing ?

[spiral anvil]

Yea

It's just my preferred spring curve

Plus I already lubed them so it made my life easier

[spiral anvil]

Not worth imo

[polar girder]

Just test it yourself

[neon tiger]

ahh okay

[polar girder]

Try it on a couple switches and see if you prefer it and think it’s worth the effort

[neon tiger]

i was just thinking

because since i am switching the switches

and its already all seperated

why not lube them haha

[neon tiger]

are they good ? or did you get them because of something like valorant ?

[neon tiger]

ah okok

[spiral anvil]

Didn't have any other options at the time

And I hated the og lekkers

[neon tiger]

ohhh okay

[neon tiger]

haha

[grim elm]

What’s the general opinion on the jade magnetic switches

[spiral anvil]

P good

[versed gate]

Anyone with tofu60 redux has issue where usbc cable cant fully seat inside usbc port? pcb is screwed in so not really possible to move the pcb closer to case port hole

[halcyon rune]

ktech do

[tidal frigate]

you screwed pcb wrong

Unscrew

And screw screw near port 1st make sure it alaigns with hole

[signal ridge]

which raw hes are good

[polar girder]

It’s just preference of spring weight

[stone elbow]

get the ones with the bottom-out force that you prefer

[fluid ravine]

Goodeooo Morning!

[stone elbow]

good morning!

[fluid ravine]

Polyfill

Shelf liner+polyfill

@cold bloom there i moved the cable to the right, happy? You can sleep now.

[fluid ravine]

Just made the sound test, mb it was late at night when i put it in

[polar girder]

Thank god

Sounds the same no?

[fluid ravine]

the bottom out sounds a touch bit brighter to me

you can hear it in the spacebar especially

But yeah almost not noticeable

Ill do a quick one with the shelf liner only

gimme a min

[stone elbow]

is that iem a truthear product?

[fluid ravine]

Yessir! Zero reds

[stone elbow]

truthear goated

[neon tiger]

oh okay

[fluid ravine]

yup yup

[fluid ravine]

a bit more hollow with these shelf liner only xd

sounds just like a tofu to me ;-;

[stone flax]

man i ran out of polyfill

[versed gate]

What does that mean? I screwed it in or I don't, no? I currently have it in front of me unscrewed but I align the PCBs USBC port with the cases and no hole aligns. I'm trying but just don't understand.

[polar girder]

You said redux?

[versed gate]

Yes

[polar girder]

Line up the hole on the case

Unscrew it and line it up with PCB usb then screw it down

[versed gate]

The screw holes don't align

[polar girder]

What screw holes

[versed gate]

Just dig though PCB?

[polar girder]

The usb port of the redux moves

Take PCB out

[versed gate]

It's not close

[polar girder]

What’s not close

[versed gate]

Sorry

It's leveled

It's not close though. The PCB is back like .2cm

[polar girder]

And PCB is on all the posts?

[versed gate]

5 yes

That's why the screw holes don't align if I move the PCB up closer to the case port hole

[stone elbow]

is the case's usb c hole moved to "w" for wooting?

take out the module and case foam to see

[polar girder]

I mean the PCB should just sit on the standoffs and everything lines up pretty easy

[versed gate]

Take out foam, put in PCB, then what?

[stone elbow]

after that put on case foam and pcb and screw in the hole closest to usb c port

[polar girder]

Does it plug in?

With stock Wooting cable!

[untold wigeon]

Neat. Learn something new everyday. 👍

[stone elbow]

i don't even own the tofu redux lol

[untold wigeon]

Hi @polar girder

[versed gate]

Does that photo help?

That's the screw hole when the ports align perfectly

It's off

[fluid ravine]

Holy Frijoles! Is that Holy Frijoles?!

[harsh dove]

jk

[untold wigeon]

Where were all you guys last night? I was answering a million questions all by myself for like 4.5 hours. lol.

[fluid ravine]

you own me?!?!?

[harsh dove]

No

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

heh

you shall experience the suffa we go through

mue hehehehehehehe

[harsh dove]

Nah but alot of the stuff I bought was to test for the community and to use as reference for helping peoples with questions

[fluid ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/money-gif-16565229595323670098

[stone elbow]

idk what to tell you here, maybe other people with tofu redux had similar problems?

[versed gate]

No you are correct

[untold wigeon]

You’re so nice

[versed gate]

I moved it half way not fully

Sorry for being a dummy. Thank you for helping

[versed gate]

This is the port alignment with the case fully on W

[fluid ravine]

Shelf LINERSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I can hear and feel more resonance when i type, ik you can't hear it in the vid cus my phone is pretty damn far away but like i feel like the polyfill gives the board more bass on the bottom out

[stone elbow]

that looks better, are you able to plug in?

[versed gate]

It's still loose. I pick up keyboard and disconnect

It's not fully in

PCb outside of case is perfect. Not sure if my USBC is positioned right on PCB or it's a case or me thing

[stone elbow]

it looks like the port is touching the top of the hole(?), either not screwed in enough or too much case foam that is lifting up the pcb

or maybe the pcb is not pushed in to the top of case

[versed gate]

I think I'll just removed the little circle thing and have a big hole

Pushed up the screws aren't aligned like other photo. I have tried with and without foam. Screw holes are slightly off like in photo

[stone elbow]

i hope i won't have issues with my acrylic tofu redux

[versed gate]

Good luck to you

[polar girder]

Are you using stock Wooting cable?

[versed gate]

Yes

And ducky

[polar girder]

I mean unless you have defunct equipment, or not stock or something, 60HE PCB def lines up ez with redux

[versed gate]

[polar girder]

If your screw holes aren’t lined up then you may not have it in the right spot

[stone elbow]

ducky?

[versed gate]

It's probably the tofu then

[polar girder]

It’s probably user error if I’m being honest

[versed gate]

What other pictures do you want

A live stream?

[stone elbow]

i watched someone build it, he had to push it up and was able to screw in

[versed gate]

It's not possibly a hunk of metal was not qced?

[versed gate]

Screw holes when aligned. Should I get a drill?

[polar girder]

Bruh

[stone elbow]

definitely not drill through the pcb

[versed gate]

Then

[polar girder]

Just set the PCB on the redux

It lines up perfect

[versed gate]

I did

That's no foam man

[polar girder]

Sounds like you don’t have screw holes lined up

[elfin garnet]

😂

[versed gate]

Yeah cause it's pushed tf up

I align with the USBC or the screw not both

Also it's a screw, how much wiggle room do you expect?

It's not like I screw it in and shift.

[harsh dove]

Updated RAW HE Sound Test (1 Month of Use with Factory Lube)
Ignore my cat meowing at the end

[fluid ravine]

Guess im not the only one with the pinky

[harsh dove]

aye mines more relaxed

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

frik off 😂

[polar girder]

Like don’t even screw it in

Just get everything lined up

[stone flax]

what spring weight

[harsh dove]

50

[fluid ravine]

50g

[versed gate]

I think if I don't screw in the top one it'll be ok

[stone flax]

[fluid ravine]

Sounds good though, glad there isn't like spring ping or anything like that

[harsh dove]

Yeah I figured there would be after a month of use

but they holding up pretty good

[fluid ravine]

mhm

[stone elbow]

is it bad if when i take out my spacebar key, the switch follows? any risk of damage?

[fluid ravine]

i got mine lubed up like part by part lol

[harsh dove]

No, just means it's not that tight in the plate

That's typical of spacebar switches as the plate has more flex around that area

[harsh dove]

You hand lubed yours?

[stone elbow]

alright, doesn't seem worrying, don't tihnk it's fixable unless getting another plate

[harsh dove]

I can't imagine how these would sound or feel hand lubed, factory was already so good tbh

[polar girder]

Just screw nothing in and get everything lined up

[harsh dove]

Happens even with my metal plates and custom cuts, it's normal

[calm pulsar]

sounds better than a lot of frog mini MX builds on YT

[harsh dove]

[stone flax]

what duro tadpoles

[broken cape]

guys, cleaning recommendations for the PCB: ethanol and microfiber ok?

[harsh dove]

60a all around

[stone flax]

[fluid ravine]

yeah, spread the factory lube throughout the stem, bag lube my springs, and did a light coating of lube on the top housing. Left the bottom housing untouched

[fluid ravine]

honestly i lubed like one full switch at first and kinda regretted it

[harsh dove]

That's almost how I feel lmao

Don't wanna ruin that factory sound

[chrome steppe]

got the wooting keyboard fitted into its new case and with its brand new keycaps, it is a tiny bit chonky though, I'm going to find a way to fix that soon.

[devout torrent]

My module finally gets here tomorrow 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 will be nice to have wooting again

[stone elbow]

what happened to your wooting?

[chrome steppe]

yea how much abuse did you give it?

[versed gate]

used a dremel lol. no problem now

thank you

[devout torrent]

Sold it to a friend that didn’t want to wait for the restock

[fluid ravine]

Literally

even after breaking in the lube after like a week or two i still not sure if does sound similar to its stock

[calm pulsar]

https://youtu.be/waisey1Qxyc

sounds like a desk sound test

[polar girder]

Frog mini so good

Overpayer copium

[fluid ravine]

mhm

[calm pulsar]

which tadpoles you're running?

I should've got all of them lmao

[polar girder]

50

[calm pulsar]

is it super bouncy? I added 60, hope it'll be different compared to the default ones

[polar girder]

Nah

I didn’t notice a difference between 50 and 80 TBH

so I just left the softer one in

[calm pulsar]

https://youtu.be/rHuhGR79k84

oh its one of those acrylic cases from cafege

[stone elbow]

what are tadpoles?

[calm pulsar]

little silicone thingies on which the plate is mounted in the frog mini case, and some other "top mount" cases

[sweet oak]

Aquatic creatures

[crimson sky]

the W1 also uses them

would not say that behaves like a top mount

[quiet bay]

[untold wigeon]

What if you took a GH60 case and drilled out the standoffs and inserted tadpoles and lay the board on that with a gasket around the module. Thoughts?

[calm pulsar]

would the plate be mounted on the tadpoles? like on the frog? or in a diff way?

[crimson sky]

it would just be the PCB laying on the tadpoles

would probably not change that much

the mount in the frog boards is basically the same as a top mount with a screw

[untold wigeon]

Like the pcb and plate laying on top of the tadpoles.

It would be much flex.

All the feels

[polar girder]

Cafege had this in stock rn I think

Oh you noticed

[untold wigeon]

These are so nice. I would definitely buy them if I had the money.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/286016336988?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=6439hDmCS6S&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=8hmdpzngt6k&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[calm pulsar]

I guess this will be close to salvation

now that I think of it, spring leaf mount is possible in any tray mount case, if only the necessary parts were available separately

[flat cobalt]

I regret the Tofu acrylic so much

[flat cobalt]

Bro they were just on sale like last week for 50$

[calm pulsar]

oh this has katakana, pretty cool

[flat cobalt]

Yeah! I regret not getting the Novelties so bad right now

But can't justify spending anymore money on Keycaps

Since I bought a set I'm not even gonna use

[untold wigeon]

The one I found is just Latin

[flat cobalt]

https://cannonkeys.com/products/pre-order-gmk-fuji

[stone elbow]

What didn't you like?

[untold wigeon]

Yeah that was my thought.

[polar girder]

Geon stacked acrylic case maybe?

[flat cobalt]

I thought the RGB was gonna be a bit more pronounced, but then I just got mad and switched back to the Meteorite Gray, I should have gotten a white tofu instead of the acrylic. This is just my experience of course

[flat cobalt]

I haven't seen it 😮

[polar girder]

https://cafege.com.au/products/60-stacked-acrylic

Not really geon I guess

[calm pulsar]

ig its not geon’s technically, seems like cafege adopted the design

[polar girder]

But more or less an acrylic frog mini TBH

[calm pulsar]

the pepe at the bottom tho is cool

[flat cobalt]

Ohhhhhh wow that looks clean

[polar girder]

Would need stand offs for Wooting tho

[stone elbow]

i don't mind the rgb not shining through it more, my x-rays will look so cool in it, can't wait

[polar girder]

Idk if they offer it but I know they’re probably capable of it

[flat cobalt]

I'll keep an eye on it -3- for sure, I just wanna see if they are gonna make that rough and Fabulous for salvation or not again

[flat cobalt]

Oh for sure it's a preference thing lol

[untold wigeon]

@flat cobalt it sold but this was cool.

[flat cobalt]

I'm sure the prices will dip hard in the coming weeks

[polar girder]

Bro I keep looking at this BoB PBS set and keep getting more excited for it lol

Yesssssssss

Polybutylene

[polar girder]

New profile

Still PBT

[quiet bay]

Polybutylene succinate

😨

[austere creek]

[polar girder]

It’s short for Penguin Belly Slide

[brazen sparrow]

“Polly butt lean”

[polar girder]

Kind of scared cuz they’re so shallow

[brazen sparrow]

I do like the uniform style

[polar girder]

Yeah same

[primal dove]

hello everyone, I have a question, are there any other differences between the wooting module and the module from the finished keyboard besides the pc plate and screw in stabilizers?

[uneven cradle]

The module also comes with silicone stand off protection rings and optional silicon sandwich pad

[idle frost]

Hey, i was wondering if there is any estimates on when divinikeys will restock the geon raw he's, and how the switches themselves compare to the sticky rice switches and the ws dash?

[worthy epoch]

Hehe

What yall think about those?

[quiet bay]

another raw user c:

[idle frost]

haha my keeb isnt coming till mid november so i held off but i was thinking about whether or not to cancel the mag jades i got with the module

[polar girder]

WHAT IS THIS

Looks sick

Knight stab advanced?

[worthy epoch]

Idk

Pmed him asking if he liked it. Waiting for response

[polar girder]

Sold out rn

But thanks for link

Err info

[worthy epoch]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EItRvjR

Official ali store of ws

[polar girder]

I want to buy silicone and tpu version and combine them lol

[worthy epoch]

So you think they are as good as swagkeys knight?

Nearly

At least

[quiet bay]

anyone know when raws will get to aliexpress?

[worthy epoch]

Fking knights out of stock everywhere

[worthy epoch]

The sad part is that i didnt find long pole version

[polar girder]

Yeah and I need full black but only the Smokey one has silicone in housing

[polar girder]

Idk has potential tho

I think combining them would be sweet lol

Smokey stem and rest black

[worthy epoch]

Pink>>>>
https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ev033AN

Looks sexy tho

Gonna build pink 80he, this is the way

[uneven cradle]

Some expensive stabs 👀

[stone flax]

worse

both 3.0 and 3.1 are worse than knight

making them double worse to knight v2

[stone flax]

nope

more like their predecessors

[daring valve]

Hey there, anyone know how to set things up to account for the 3.4mm travel instead of 4.0mm? I should be receiving my wooting module this week.

[austere creek]

you cant really

you set it to 4 and thats it

[daring valve]

Gotcha.

[fluid ravine]

Hey tony, is there a keybind to where i can lock my windows key when im gaming?

I remember there was one but i dont remember how to do it xd

[somber roost]

fn + win for two he
fn + caps + win for 60he

[worthy epoch]

Show me any place where long pole knights are in stock(it doesnt exist)

Except their site, where shipping costs 2x more than stabs themselves

[stone flax]

doesnt mean u should pick these up for almost the same price lol, ive owned all three and know theres literally no reason to pick up the ws stabs unless its an aesthetics choice

[worthy epoch]

😭 you’re right, but i won’t admit it
Im just looking for any alternative

Just in case

[indigo pelican]

can i put any keycaps on my wootin 60he?

[stone flax]

paigu/stupids/maiz if clipins

[stone flax]

any mx style will work

[stone flax]

yikb's are also other screw ins ive gotten good word for

[worthy epoch]

Nah only hardcore only screw ins

[stone flax]

yikb

[worthy epoch]

No long pole version(

[stone flax]

what keycaps are u using

[worthy epoch]

Geon raws and pbtfans xray

[stone flax]

shouldnt be a problem honestly, unless someone has previously brought up issues with using normal stabs on them

[worthy epoch]

Lol the fuck?

[stone flax]

using non long pole stabs on a reduce travel stabilized key only truly becomes an issue if the stab stems arent properly gripping the key stems due to the disparity in height

but i havent personally experienced this for better keycap sets that run tighter

[indigo pelican]

thanks for the information

[stone flax]

also

@worthy epoch

you can always just use stem spacers if u do come into problems

https://divinikey.com/products/geon-stem-spacer?

[worthy epoch]

Btw, what u think about smkeyboard pom plate?

https://smkeyboards.com/products/wooting-60he-plate?variant=43923321553143

Or I should get wooting pc plate?

[elfin garnet]

This is what I use with my GMK keycaps and Raws

Works great

[stone flax]

havent heard bad things from them

so would be good if u need a custom plate

[worthy epoch]

So i better get this

Rather than wooting pc plate

?

[stone flax]

well ur fine with either lol

if you prefer pom over pc then sure

but if u like pc more then 👍

[worthy epoch]

Idk what i prefer since i only used gasket mounted pc

Never experienced pom

So cant compare

[elfin garnet]

It's not worth getting a custom POM plate if it's for tray mount imo. The PC plate from Wooting will feel and sound pretty similar + the Wooting one comes with preinstalled standoffs

[silver ingot]

Ur not getting much flex cus standoffs keep things pretty stiff tho the bottom out should be relatively softer than steel

Just a bit

The sound is usually the difference

Tho PC vs POM is marginal

[flat cobalt]

My new keyboard is here; now I can swap out the switches 030

[cold bloom]

holy crap thank you

[fluid ravine]

Thanks!

Oh wait i just tried it, it didnt work D: @somber roost

OOP nvm sorry again, I figured it out, i didnt have Fn 2 as set to my caps lock

[fluid ravine]

yo?

[stone flax]

nice 80he

[flat cobalt]

They have arrived @sweet oak lavender jades

[sweet oak]

[stone flax]

frankenswitch?

[fluid ravine]

[stone flax]

[flat cobalt]

They come in the RS7 lol they're like "limited edition" to them for some dumb reason

[stone flax]

oh those ones

yet anuta recolor

[flat cobalt]

I also got the pinks on the way ;3;

[stone flax]

considering blacks ?

[flat cobalt]

For now no ;3;

[stone flax]

[plush ice]

Can anyone recommend some nice gmk / pbt keycaps that would go with the alumaze ocean blue case?

[quiet bay]

gmk striker is pretty popular for blue keycaps

[cyan zodiac]

Gmk mizu

[spice plover]

@cold bloom hey was curious if u ever did or are doing plateless on the Salv?

does doing a plateless mod require more skill or anything that someone can recommend I might be able to learn from?

[stone flax]

u mean just running the board plateless in general?

[spice plover]

yeh

[stone flax]

i mean id assume its the same as anything, only with the added problem ur switches are hella unstable in there due to lack of legs/plate/soldering to hold them in

would not be surprised if they dont stay in lol

[fluid ravine]

correcto!

As a matter of fact, Sticky Rice would've had a chance on being able to do a plateless build due to their leg clips that could actually hold onto the pcb itself. Sadly their magnetic flux has some errors so it's unusable

[stone flax]

ive ran plateless hotswap in a single config but that was largely because i had a 5pin switch with thicc legs that i could somehow drive, even then it has hella sus

[spice plover]

is there any sort of plate thats similair to the "weird flex" or a more flexible plate to make the typing experience maybe more bouncy or softer?

[stone flax]

so even more so for he switches with a lack of extra legs

[stone flax]

having a flexible plate is kinda negated by running a tray mount

ur not getting that full flex in any scenario

[spice plover]

im getting a salvation soon

[stone flax]

seeing u got a salvation tho running a plate is fine

i dont think you should force plateless

[spice plover]

yeh i wont

so theres no plate that can bend a bit more or bounce a bit more?

i was just watching youtube and the reviewers were talking about like the "line" cut outs for the PCB between colums making it more flex for each individual keypress or something like this?

idk maybe Im not understanding it correctly

[stone flax]

plates definitely differ in flexibility yeah

factoring in material, thickness, and use of flexcuts

they can vary a lot

[spice plover]

im trying to find some

just to see the difference. for me feeling def comes first sound 2nd

[stone flax]

dming something

[spice plover]

anyone here have a PC plate in there builds? Also does it actually make the typing experience softer for sure?

also does wooting have any US sites that I can buy something like a PC plate from? shipping costs a bit from netherlands and still takes like 6 days for me to the US apparently even with expedited?

[stone elbow]

The US warehouses don't have the plate kit?

[uneven cradle]

There's hypekeyboards in Canada

I'm sure there's probably somewhere in the US but hype is the only one I know that's close

[spice plover]

trying to find out maxgaming is out of stock i think 😦

[stone flax]

a lotta vendors sell some kinda plate

like ik kdbfans prolly do

but hype and smkkeyboards come to mind as places for custom

cafege too for frog plates

[stone elbow]

Not pc tho, i think they only offer fr4 and carbon fiber

[stone flax]

ahh pc

yeah hype

[spice plover]

whats disss

[stone flax]

plate material options

[spice plover]

whats the difference between this PC plate and the one from hype?

like the wooting one vs this one

[uneven cradle]

This collection is wild

[fluid ravine]

now thats a dream

[spice plover]

this dudes making it to KB heaven thats for sure

[stone flax]

I see greg

[fluid ravine]

GREG

:D

[glacial wind]

i need to find that photo of that chinese guy who had a keyboard house

[fluid ravine]

[uneven cradle]

Was probably this guy https://www.zfrontier.com/app/flow/eVMjLbRQxzYr?fbclid=IwAR21pagtARS895KV5NEAL5h3YjTiRn2bokUsEzp6MfdTo2hL1Ip7UVPW9kg&fs=e&s=cl

[fluid ravine]

holy

[quiet bay]

that's easily over 80k

[fluid ravine]

nah bruh nah shit over 200k trust

5x more than what we cost

[quiet bay]

[fluid ravine]

or maybe that is bro's job

idk

djfekwljfksdl;dfsjak;ldsfajkdl

[quiet bay]

sometimes I wanna be a ytber just to get keyboard sponsors

[fluid ravine]

[stone flax]

zero reds are baller

[fluid ravine]

yup

[quiet bay]

yeee but still

free is free

[quiet bay]

remind me what the difference between blue and red is again

[fluid ravine]

Uh i think a slight difference in eq

in the bass im guessing?

more bass?

[quiet bay]

ima kinda tired of headphones 😔

[stone flax]

one is tuned more to harman one is tuned differently and comes with impedance adapter

[fluid ravine]

yeah and i got scared of head dents

[spice plover]

bro everytime i see that

[fluid ravine]

english, pls

[spice plover]

it looks so beautiful

[fluid ravine]

😂

[quiet bay]

heh I dont get head dents

[spice plover]

like look at that showroom

[stone flax]

lowkey shouldnt get blue anymore

pretty much

[fluid ravine]

yeah your head is full of crap to the point it's too hard

[quiet bay]

cause my hair is flat af

[fluid ravine]

[quiet bay]

i wanna get blue earbuds

[stone flax]

as with most things yeah lol

[quiet bay]

He definitely has a 6 figure job

[fluid ravine]

with wut :0

[stone flax]

anything

[spice plover]

honestly probably a son of a chinese business mogul

[stone flax]

equalizerapo is one thing ik

[fluid ravine]

ah

[stone flax]

[fluid ravine]

I already like how my iems sounds so i dont bother changing

[stone flax]

u can

i haven’t even touched my red’s lol

[fluid ravine]

but i didnt know you could adjust the eq

[quiet bay]

oh cool maybe I should just get blues then

[fluid ravine]

red>>

[spice plover]

red>>

[quiet bay]

well...

[spice plover]

LOL

[quiet bay]

red is nowhere in my setup

[fluid ravine]

your mic?

[quiet bay]

naw it's the rgb version

[fluid ravine]

oh

[quiet bay]

so its not red

[fluid ravine]

lowkey you should dip that dawg second monitor

😂

[quiet bay]

it may be ugly in my setup but atleast it's useful

[fluid ravine]

dude the stand just hurts man

[quiet bay]

I CANT CHANGE ITTT

AHHH

[fluid ravine]

like all the space you could have under it would be just amazing

Single monitor setup>>>

[quiet bay]

but second monitor is so useful

[fluid ravine]

Buy a dual monitor arm?

[quiet bay]

for googling

[quiet bay]

you literally cant change the arm

of the monitor

[fluid ravine]

ugh that sucks

oh shit it's like a old monitor or wtv?

[quiet bay]

yeah

pretty sure it has a vga cable on it

[fluid ravine]

DMNA

[quiet bay]

it was free sooo

might as well use

[fluid ravine]

Like i want my setup to be like this

[quiet bay]

I wanna experience 1440p

[fluid ravine]

but too bad i need a fan or what not

[quiet bay]

but 2 broke

[quiet bay]

very minimal but

i would clutter the desk

with water bottles

[fluid ravine]

lol

[stone flax]

From crins vid

[fluid ravine]

My left side would be cluttered with a fan, phone/phone stand, and a water bottle

[stone flax]

But outside of tuning he did say red fared better in terms of distortion

[fluid ravine]

ic

[quiet bay]

well

good thing im not an audiophile

[fluid ravine]

im not a audiophile either xd

i should learn a thing or two

i want to learn more about high mids and lows and all that crap

idfk

i think it will be useful for me

[quiet bay]

another expensive hobby

[fluid ravine]

nah just learn how things work without buying

[quiet bay]

xd

[stone flax]

dont get into audio

im not in audio

its an easy way to never be happy

[fluid ravine]

lol

[stone flax]

[polar girder]

audio is ok just don't be weird about it

[fluid ravine]

alright

[polar girder]

like dudes with 12 headsets

tf

[quiet bay]

the moment i touched my wooting i never went back to the membrane keyboard

lmao

[fluid ravine]

ok nvm im more into mics actually xd

[uneven cradle]

Just don't get lost in the sauce

[quiet bay]

did not miss it one single bit

[fluid ravine]

i dont know jack SHIT about headphones or what not

[stone flax]

i still love laptops

[uneven cradle]

That goes for any hobby though

[quiet bay]

i like the chromebook typing experience

i dont like macbook typing experience

[stone flax]

Get the blues if u want, then just autoeq to reds if u want

And get an apple dongle

If US

[fluid ravine]

most expensive thing i bought for audio is my audio interface xd

[quiet bay]

i dont even have an audio interface LMAO

[polar girder]

yeah audio interface for what

[quiet bay]

I just plug it into my computer

[fluid ravine]

you have a usb mic :/

[stone flax]

u dont need one

Apple dongle more than enough for this iem

[fluid ravine]

mic and iems even tho i dont need all that

[quiet bay]

ngl would be nice to have tho cause my wire always goes to the right

and it gets on my arm

[polar girder]

usb mic ftws

[fluid ravine]

for sure^

[polar girder]

i have a dac/amp

and headphones and usb mic

and feel rich

i'm big chilling

[fluid ravine]

i feel broke :D

[polar girder]

cuz you spent everything on audio interface

[uneven cradle]

Yeah unless you're doing something that isn't just talking to people on discord - usb mics are where it's at

[fluid ravine]

yet we both still need a new boom arm to replace our crappy one

[fluid ravine]

nuh uh

my dad bought it for me

[polar girder]

truuu

[quiet bay]

i want the elgato low profile arm 😢

but

100 dollars

💀

[fluid ravine]

real

[polar girder]

yeah i think that's my next one

spending more on the arm than the mic tho X.X

[fluid ravine]

i dont evenknow if i want a LP or a standard

[quiet bay]

I like my birthday cause it's near black friday >:)))

[fluid ravine]

my dad would think im insane if i want another boom arm but more expensive

[polar girder]

the fifine LP one doesn't seem as solid

[fluid ravine]

yea..

[uneven cradle]

Unless you plan on hiding your microphone away like optimumtech does I think a standard boom arm is superior in pretty much everyway

[quiet bay]

honestly just up to your circumstances

[fluid ravine]

and that's the problem for me^

[quiet bay]

i want a low profile one cause..

high profile is annoying

for me

it's more in the way than anything

[fluid ravine]

lol

[polar girder]

That arm so bulky bro

Toxic

[uneven cradle]

It's more out of the way then low profile though

[quiet bay]

lmao same boom arm I used to have

[fluid ravine]

my OCD just killing me with that monitor placement

but more mouse space :)

[polar girder]

I just got done gaming lol

[uneven cradle]

Low profile takes up way more usable desk space

[polar girder]

Moved monitor back just for picture lol

[quiet bay]

was hard to move in my setup

[fluid ravine]

frikin second monitor

[quiet bay]

naw it was placed to the right of my main monitor

[uneven cradle]

Mine stays in the same place and never gets moved 👀

[quiet bay]

cause uh typical ikea desk

and only limited mounting spaces

[stone flax]

is there an na vendor for tadpoles

[polar girder]

i never found one

i ordered from cafege

[quiet bay]

ig it just looks cleaner to me then lol

[polar girder]

yeah plus my computer is on that side of the arm so i always have to reach around it to turn my shit on

[fluid ravine]

I can't decide where to put my boom arm with either low or standard

[polar girder]

just want to break it off

[fluid ravine]

i have my short cheap ass boom arm on my right

works fine, but i notice the base is starting to rotate as i move into place

[quiet bay]

I hated that boom arm

cause its stand was focused at such a small point

[polar girder]

i jujst need like mad minimal arm

[quiet bay]

wasnt rlly that stable

[polar girder]

yeah it sucks lol

[fluid ravine]

im even more worried on how it could hurt my glass desk xd

[polar girder]

and moving it around just basically slowly takes it off the table lol

[uneven cradle]

Not clean enough?

[fluid ravine]

pochi's setup

[quiet bay]

hehe

basketball footrest

[fluid ravine]

i want to run my shit like that

[polar girder]

Yeah but then use the mic

[fluid ravine]

but single monitor

[polar girder]

Mic comes over the monitor?

I’m good on that

[fluid ravine]

prob cross a bit on the right idk

[quiet bay]

im ngl best 5 dollars I ever spent was on that basketball

to use as a footrest

works so well

😂

[fluid ravine]

LOL

[quiet bay]

but so out of place

[fluid ravine]

I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE

[quiet bay]

LMAO

[polar girder]

lol nice

Footrest is OP

[uneven cradle]

Point towards face, job done

[quiet bay]

cuz im too short to put my feet on the ground

[uneven cradle]

Dynamic mic

[polar girder]

Yeah I guess I need my mic close

[quiet bay]

sometimes regret buying my hyperx mic 😢

i could have a cleaner looking mic

but tbh i like the touch to mute thing

[fluid ravine]

I regretted buying a blue yeti

[polar girder]

I think I like my k688

[fluid ravine]

I got the fifine k688 and i like it but i do regret some parts

[polar girder]

Gain seems low

Quality seems ok

[fluid ravine]

yeah

it sounds a bit muffled tho like how you would talk through a pillow

or just scream through a pillow

my interface does make it better tho with the preamp

but shiiiii

i've been balling my eyes out for a new mic

[polar girder]

lol yeah idk if o care enough

I never listen to my own voice so idk

[fluid ravine]

The desire of switching from a blue yeti made me like this

[polar girder]

But I do have a pretty low voice. So better quality might help me not sound like I’m half asleep giant

[fluid ravine]

like more clearer?

more bass to your voice finna make you sound dead as shit if so lul

[polar girder]

yeah it's fine i guess

[fluid ravine]

yeah its fine

[polar girder]

yeah i just play cs2 lol

idgaf

[fluid ravine]

I dont anything too expensive but good enough to make my voice a bit clearer

but the worst thing for me is that i play in the living room

so it's really untreated xd

[polar girder]

But to make diff from fifine is like $100-200+

[fluid ravine]

yeah

I kinda want a Maono PD400x

it's like on sale consistently

[polar girder]

It’s good?

[fluid ravine]

I'd say so

I like it

$112, $190 original

[quiet bay]

nice looking mic

[fluid ravine]

I dont wanna spend some expensive shit like shure mics

[polar girder]

https://www.maono.com/products/maono-pd400x-usb-xlr-podcasting-microphone

[quiet bay]

not a fan of the random yellow tho

or orange

[fluid ravine]

mv7 or like a sm7b

[polar girder]

Yeah yellow sucks

Branding is why I can’t fuck with the Rhode arm

Way too much

Just want all black

EVERYTHING

[fluid ravine]

yeah my only grief is the brand name and the yellow too

[polar girder]

I like their style tho

[fluid ravine]

and that knob

but other than that i like the mounting style and all that
