[fluid ravine]

yeah that knob killing it for me the most

[quiet bay]

holy cow

[fluid ravine]

but it has the eq and preamps on the bottom of the mic like a sm7b

[quiet bay]

this is a whole essay on the crinacle blues

[fluid ravine]

tf

[quiet bay]

im not reading allat

[polar girder]

https://www.maono.com/products/maono-ba92-microphone-boom-arm-stand

That’s clean

Still dumb yellow logo tho

[quiet bay]

reminds me of the fifine one

[polar girder]

Tru

[fluid ravine]

i mean fifine and maono are like budget tiers of mics and shit

top two prob

[polar girder]

Something about fofine makes me feel like that first arm not gonna be parallel to desk

Right

Samson solid

[quiet bay]

I wish phones still had the headphone jack 😦

[fluid ravine]

samson Q9U

[quiet bay]

so that I wouldn't have to use an adapter

[fluid ravine]

idk if that mic is gud or not

$150

[fluid ravine]

oh yea

[quiet bay]

idc if its more chonky I Just want it back

😔

[fluid ravine]

@polar girder thoughts on look?

i haven't looked into how it sounds xd

[spice plover]

Have you EQd your voice ?

[fluid ravine]

na

[quiet bay]

actually how big are crinacles

my ears are small

[spice plover]

I swear that makes the biggest difference ever bro

[fluid ravine]

i dont even know how lol

i just use whatever pre amps my interface gives me

[spice plover]

What’s ur pre amp ?

[fluid ravine]

sheeeee

idek

[fluid ravine]

Whatever is on the Audient Evo 4

[deft turtle]

my tofu60 redux came with some foam

do i keep it in if im gonna polyfill it?

[quiet bay]

optional

[spice plover]

Honest to god just find a way to EQ it. Mine is a bit fancy so I can pre we everything if I wanted but it’s like 80% of the good sound your looking for

[quiet bay]

but it will most likely raise the pcb more

known from experience with gummy o ring mount...

[fluid ravine]

Would recommend using one or the other but you could use both just use a little bit of polyfill if you wanna use both

[marsh saffron]

This is why I don't use wootings case foam

Tofu case foam sits very nicely with friction mount

[quiet bay]

hehe I only have polyfill now

it lessened the pcb raise

also keeb is more creamy now

[marsh saffron]

Haven't tried polyfill yet

[spice plover]

Voicemeter banana is what I use to use before my preamp

[deft turtle]

ok guess i wont put the foam in and just have the polyfill with burger mount

[fluid ravine]

yeah i use to use voicemeter with my blue yeti as well

[spice plover]

You can have a few plugins but most important is compression , eq , and filter

[fluid ravine]

but to be honest it was a mess for me

[spice plover]

I swear if I tuned it for you you wouldn’t want to get another mic

[fluid ravine]

lul

would be happy

[spice plover]

That microphone made one of my favorite albums of all time from lil peep

[fluid ravine]

Alright well time to sleep for school, GN modders

[quiet bay]

err how to use this

do u have to keep it open

[spice plover]

Yeah when you want to use your microphone. There should be an effects tab as long as you got everything else working already like the correct audio devices

[quiet bay]

alr

[jade storm]

SM7B

Or death.

[jade storm]

Holy fucking shit, I didn't know you were based. What album?

[spice plover]

https://youtu.be/pEd7jw0uNE4?si=T1bl5gJwTxrtnsBM

@quiet bay @fluid ravine this one seems good and short enough

[jade storm]

And favorite unreleased songs?

[spice plover]

Live forever and vertigo were the ones that he used the yeti on

My close friend grew up with peep same middle school and high school

[jade storm]

That guy could make a headset mic sound good

[jade storm]

Wow, that's crazy. Did you ever meet or anything like that?

[spice plover]

Damn that’s a hard one lol

[spice plover]

Unfortunately I didn’t get to meet him but he showed me a lot of insane footage

Like birthday parties when they were 13 and stuff lmaoooo

Like just random af stuff

Also how he was before high school and during high school also when he dropped out and why idk just such cool things

[spice plover]

Nasty names is pretty good , poor thing , burnt diary is prob my fav

[jade storm]

This must've been insane. He should send it to that gothboiclique instagram

[fluid ravine]

Yeah I watched this like a year ago when I had the blue yeti

Wasn't really an expert but it def made my mic sound better

[jade storm]

Damn, I need to get my game up. Haven't heard of these at all haha. Still need to listen to Lil Peep: Part one

[fluid ravine]

Just didn't quite knew how to take full advantage of it

[jade storm]

https://tenor.com/view/peep-gif-11834584172605859372

[spice plover]

Peep is fire af microwaved on max

[fluid ravine]

Smooooth operatorrr

Lul

[jade storm]

My favorite album is actually Vertigo, and unreleased ones have to be giving girls cocaine, Downtown, Black Fingernails

[spice plover]

It’s weird apparently he changed a LOT when his dad left to the point people didnt recognize him at all

[jade storm]

amongst others

[fluid ravine]

Wooting 60he or death.

[jade storm]

Soon, soon.

[fluid ravine]

[spice plover]

Like peep was that Justin Bieber looking kid that all the girls would flock to and he was cocky af apparently 😂.

[jade storm]

That's just fucking sad, I feel terrible for him.

[spice plover]

Yeah anyways enough about peep. He’s my favorite artist of all time. Personally saved me in more ways than I would like to admit lol but much love to him and his family.

[spice plover]

You can’t even do the o ring mod on the + right !?

[fluid ravine]

Weh?

[spice plover]

If you can’t put the o ring 💍 around it I don’t want it .

[jade storm]

He's the only guy that for me has no skips. Even the songs I don't really like, like red drop shawty or feelz, start to grow on me

[spice plover]

60he+ belongs to the streets

Like you trade off screw in stabs for not being able to o ring I actually think that’s a bad deal.

[spice plover]

I know bro he’s a true artist in every sense of the word

[spice plover]

Weird recommendation but idk if you ever heard of Corbin or if you even would be into that style of music but I like him too.

[fluid ravine]

Oh mb didn't get what you mean abt the + there

Well you cant gummy mount with the screw ins cus the screw in housing molds makes the oring protrude outside of the module too much to the point where it can't fit into the case.

Same rule with the MX builds that uses a gummy oring

Hence why they use clip ins

[spice plover]

O mb I meant gummy mount

[calm pulsar]

you can do it with clip-in stabs, they're pretty much the same but dont get in the way of the oring

[fluid ravine]

Yeah ik 👍

[stone flax]

Ofc u can

[spice plover]

O wow so you can actually switch the screw in stabs for plug in and then gummy it?

[fluid ravine]

Yeah the screw ins extends a bit more out cus they need to use like screws and washer and what not while the clip ins don't extend as far as they use clips

[stone flax]

The addition of screw ins doesnt mean u cant gummy o ring mount

Just that you cant do it WITH screwins lol

Works fine for clipins

or platemount

[fluid ravine]

Ye ye

Clip ins**

[spice plover]

Dang

Well I guess the + is kinda good

Not for the streets anymore

[stone flax]

if u use clip ins for spacebar and backspace you should be fine lol

[fluid ravine]

Yeah the only difference between the og and + is the pcb mount compatibility with the +

[spice plover]

Still love my HE

[jade storm]

HM66 Black PC plate friction mount

would it work or what?

[stone flax]

why wouldnt it

theyre both gh60 standard right

[jade storm]

Stabs

and yes

[fluid ravine]

Should work

[stone flax]

yeah

[spice plover]

Are any of you guys running the pc plate?

[quiet bay]

thanks just set it up

now I have more bass

[spice plover]

Dang wish we had a before and after lol

[quiet bay]

haah too much work

now to just

get over the ear buds

cause headphones kinda hurt since it compresses on my glasses

[jade storm]

blindchizo

[quiet bay]

[marsh saffron]

yeah

[spice plover]

was curious does it actually make a difference in feel that you noticed when bottoming out ?

[quiet bay]

i dont even remember how the steel plate felt

but I got the pc plate for the sound

[spice plover]

Yeh I heard the sound profile and it will def sound good with my case and raw HEs

[quiet bay]

ye it's very nice for creamy and thocky sound profiles

well my board sounds creamy rn

sadly I dont have raw hes

[marsh saffron]

same kinda

[quiet bay]

i can do a short sound test

this is using my iphone

ngl I might get something like truthear Hexas instead

I heard the crinacles are a bit chonky

and I have small ears

[stone flax]

nozzle wise yeah

but thats most of truthears in that range

[quiet bay]

dang

[stone flax]

buy it on amazon

Return if it doesnt fit

[quiet bay]

i mean this looks pretyt nice too

also on sale

[stone flax]

its definitely different from the zero

[quiet bay]

yeah

[stone flax]

not better tho id say

[quiet bay]

im ngl it looks quite clean tho

damn

iems are interesting

[calm pulsar]

so curious how it'd sound with raws

[quiet bay]

oo i got a 5 dollar discount

on top of the sale

[quiet bay]

yea wish I had the raws xd

[calm pulsar]

just the price of a pack of raws

[quiet bay]

yep 😂

but rn I want iems cuz er headphone hurt

it def made my glasses dent into my head LMAO

ok it actually did

i can feel it

[calm pulsar]

yeah totally fair, no peripheral should hurt
except for 120g switch springs

[quiet bay]

120g switch springs wth

now imagine if you were typing with pen springs

[calm pulsar]

yup, seen on aliexpress

time to rebuild my non-plus 60he in stock and put on sale

[jade storm]

get reds or blues

both equally awesome

personally using the reds right now

[quiet bay]

I like bass and all but I kinda like the truthear hexas

seems more balanced

[quiet bay]

mad clean

[native crystal]

hexas failed on me twice :((

I loved them tho

[quiet bay]

hold up what happened

[jade storm]

beautiful

[native crystal]

after 6 months it started developing severe inbalance

the right ear piece was like 50% as loud as the left one

I contacted shenzhenaudio since thats where I bought it from

they sent out a replacement for the right piece

used it another 1 month

same thing happened

[quiet bay]

o same place im about to buy them from

dang..

[native crystal]

I keep my IEMs in their cases with silica pack when not using them and I clean my ears from wax every time after I shower

so zero idea why this is happening

my climate here in eastern europe is also not humid

[quiet bay]

2 year warranty atleast

[native crystal]

shenzhen is fine, I just think that this is a hexa QC issue

[quiet bay]

just signed up so xd

[native crystal]

yeah the warranty will cover you

[quiet bay]

aight nice

I'll just place it now and hopefully no issues

[quiet bay]

i mean hopefully better qc now

[paper bloom]

Those are great

@quiet bay u cld get the sennheiser ones theyre not bad

[quiet bay]

errrr I already ordered them 😂

the truthear hexas

[rapid tiger]

Any suggestions on what case is perfect for this keycaps?

[quiet bay]

white or red

white is more versatile though if you ever wanna switch out keycaps

[left depot]

gives me Delfts Blauw vibes

[calm pulsar]

which in turn gives me some Gzhel vibes 😄

[left depot]

[calm pulsar]

oh it's a bummer that the oring mounted version comes with a centered usb port, though you probably can't quite mount a wooting pcb this way

[quiet bay]

aw man

that kinda sucks

[elfin garnet]

BIGSLY ASMR???

[paper bloom]

o lol

[calm pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/ofergang-daniel-gif-25330530

[quiet bay]

Which sennheiser ones tho?

[calm pulsar]

looks like geon will be selling some "balanced wires"

[stone elbow]

Apparently you can friction mount using graveshift s gummy o rings with screw in stabs

[calm pulsar]

I guess they are guaranteed to be straight?

[paper bloom]

IE 200

But not sure

[fluid ravine]

Morning

[left depot]

[fluid ravine]

"I'm here to babysit you all"

[left depot]

[ionic ravine]

dam im about to fall down the rabbit hole of modding

[languid forge]

this sound incredible

[tidal frigate]

Be Aware

Before you spend 600€

[ionic ravine]

dam all those wootstations and builds making me want one too

[left depot]

see you at the bottom

[ionic ravine]

you went broke?

[left depot]

not yet

[fluid ravine]

Congrats to all Giveaway winners

[left depot]

getting some stuff for free/discounted helps hahah

[fluid ravine]

2 bad I couldn't get the bucket hat

[ionic ravine]

TY MAN, CAN"T WANT FOR MY UWU

[languid forge]

do u think they will shine well?

[calm pulsar]

they are abs

[languid forge]

not well then?

[calm pulsar]

all keycaps shine, abs does faster

[languid forge]

do u think X-RAYs would shine better tho?

[calm pulsar]

I guess we have to wait until someone's x-rays start shining and see how it looks

[polar girder]

Interesting

[polar girder]

https://www.linsoul.com/products/simgot-supermix-4

Most highly ranked budget ones

[twin hemlock]

I wouldnt buy based only on a recommendation from fresh reviews

[polar girder]

FreshReviews has solid content on gaming IEMs and also listens to music perspective

He’s been accurate for me on other stuff

But yeah best to never trust only one source

[twin hemlock]

yes look on many reviews

[prime orbit]

So many people hate fresh

💀💀

[twin hemlock]

I mean I don't hate him

[polar girder]

lol fresh is better than optimum

[twin hemlock]

but his reviews are like

[polar girder]

Optimum has better production

[twin hemlock]

this IEM is x tier for apex/COD

[prime orbit]

They both aren’t bad

[twin hemlock]

and gives subpar opinion on music side

so I mean idk

[polar girder]

Yeah respectable content creators on peripherals

[twin hemlock]

optimum looks better to me, looks like he puts a lot of effort

plus bro is a baller, he has a mclaren on top of doing everything by himself lol

[thorn grove]

Where do you guys buy switches? Seemed to be a semi consensus that the GEON Raw HE's are one of the better options?

[calm pulsar]

iirc so far they are only available from geon directly or divinikey in US

cafege (AU) will be stocking them soon

[thorn grove]

So if I'm in US Divinikey is probably the best option, I'll check it out. Thank you

Just sold my Razer keyboard so I'm currently rocking this Lenovo beast 🥴

[paper bloom]

Mans boutta be top 100 in FPS with that keyboard

[thorn grove]

Honestly it doesn't feel that bad lol, but I'm definitely either grabbing the full 60HE or the module today

[paper bloom]

Ah nice

[spice plover]

Good morning!

Anyone grabbing the Raw HEs honest to god shipping was 2 days for me from Korea to USA. Cali to PA from Divinikey is taking 7 days now

@thorn grove

[thorn grove]

I'll keep that in mind, who would've thought lol

[polar girder]

https://kbdfans.com/products/m9n

Damn that’s sick

[languid forge]

$365 usd

:ooooooooooooooo

[calm pulsar]

$365 and this guy is planning to release 6 more keyboards lol

[languid forge]

no number keys

i could never

[polar girder]

lol yeah it’s sweet tho

“A keyboard for every day of the week”

$400 each

Ez money

[tawdry tree]

I see more cons than benefits but we’ll see where they end up.

[crimson sky]

oh god, that seems really expensive

[calm pulsar]

damn are those for MX boards?

[crimson sky]

no

they require a special footprint since they use 3 pogopins

[polar girder]

Yeah its clean

[polar girder]

What the f Rick

PCB-less or what’s the idea here

[spice plover]

I wish there were more case mods we can do such as different springs or weights or reconstructing the boards I don’t think I would personally enjoy any other keyboard when I already have a wooting 🤷‍♀️?

[tawdry tree]

exactly

[crimson sky]

nope

you just have a separate PCB for every switch

that then connects to a "regular" PCB

[tawdry tree]

Yup

[polar girder]

Lol what’s the point of that

[crimson sky]

which ones are that

[calm pulsar]

so the benefit is...

[crimson sky]

uhhhhh

these technically do plateless

[tawdry tree]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-mrbean-bean-mr-bean-holiday-mr-bean-holiday-movie-gif-3228235746377647455

[polar girder]

You can swap springs and switch pieces s

[crimson sky]

you can already

[tawdry tree]

not if hotswap

[crimson sky]

they can

[tawdry tree]

which seems to be the case

[crimson sky]

those stupid switch legs were designed to clip onto PCBs

already was done with contact based switches

on 1.2mm PCBs they sit so tight that you basically cannot remove them

[tawdry tree]

actually clicking?

[spice plover]

We need a super easy mod able case that can use leaf springs or not and whatever else they have without it being mandatory idk

[crimson sky]

yea

[tawdry tree]

and being secure

oh interesting

[spice plover]

I’m still a noob in this hobby just don’t think I would want to test 100 keyboards rather be able to mod cases and switches and keycaps stuff like this than brand new boards

[stone flax]

what

[spice plover]

Like is it possible to install a leaf spring mount system in a tofu?

[polar girder]

No

[calm pulsar]

theoretically yes, but there are no parts for that and you'll have to mill your case or smth

[spice plover]

Is it possible to create a case that can support the mod ability of having the leaf and not ?

Idk or like an attachment maybe

Maybe not the entire case but it like something you can screw in or attach somehow idk 🤷‍♀️

Cause just realized in leaf spring systems you can prob just not add anything lol

[calm pulsar]

well anyhting is possible cause these things exist, but would people do that? that's a whole other question

[polar girder]

Sounds like you want a $1000 case that can do it all lol

[stone flax]

no lol

[spice plover]

Yeah that would be sweet lol see I would rather spend 1000 dollars on a case that can do it all then 10 keyboards

[stone flax]

Unless u want to dremel into a tofu and install leaf springs

[spice plover]

See that’s modding bro

[crimson sky]

why would you want both though

[stone flax]

[crimson sky]

just buy a case that can do leaf springs if you want that so bad

[calm pulsar]

tofu 2.0 actually supports like 4 mounting styles I think? but it has a centered usb port so you'll have to be able to combine your pcb with a daughterboard

[stone flax]

[crimson sky]

if you want to eliminate those you can still just put a bumper under them so they don't have any flex

[spice plover]

I get it bro I have one coming but my point it would be neat if there was a way to attach this imaginary “attachment” to a board like a tofu or find a why by myself to do it idk 🤷‍♀️

[crimson sky]

yea just install a new board into your old board

[polar girder]

😵‍💫

[crimson sky]

is this too old of a meme?

[spice plover]

Like if you want to make money I think an attachment is cool I’m sure if I cared enough or am in the hobby a bit longer I would definitely attempt to do a mod like that on something like a tofu which a lot of people own

[calm pulsar]

cave painting

[spice plover]

Lmfaooo

[crimson sky]

the attachment would be quite stupid since you really would just put an entire case in/on top of your existing case to get that functionaility

[polar girder]

lol

[spice plover]

Actually bursted out laughing

[crimson sky]

if you want an actually decent case, don't buy a tofu

[calm pulsar]

well I guess if you talk abt leaf springs you technically could mount them to any tray mount case, cause it doesnt require the case being 2 piece

[spice plover]

But the leaf spring system just seams like a suspension that holds the PCB and board, plate and such

[calm pulsar]

but you'd need to dremel your case ofc

[crimson sky]

yea, but then your PCB sits like a solid centimeter above where it should be

[calm pulsar]

hmm also true

[crimson sky]

or you need to mill modifications into an existing case

very doable at home

[calm pulsar]

yeah so the design of the case wouldnt accomodate for that

[crimson sky]

in a tofu the PCB lays directly on solid metal that is part of the case

where should it be suspended into

[spice plover]

I’m still inexperienced in the hobby im just thinking of mod stuff that I personally would attempt

Idk people put band aids and tape around and call that modding

Like yeah maybe I’ll bust out the crayons too

[crimson sky]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmAMymAI2mk

[stone flax]

modding is a very huge umbrella term, and that counts

[calm pulsar]

well it still changes your board so...

[stone flax]

if i slap on one artisan on a board

thats is a mod

[crimson sky]

would you take a dremel to your board

to remove all standoffs

potentially turning it into scrap

[calm pulsar]

dorito crumbs under my keycaps are a mod

[spice plover]

Hmmm depends how interested I am in making the idea work. But then again I’m a noob so I don’t really know the specific requirements and can’t really say what I will and won’t do

I would prefer making something attachable to a board if possible but than again I don’t know what I would need from the case side to support it

[stone flax]

are u planning to use a dremel to install leaf springs into a tofu or something?

why not just get a case with it

[crimson sky]

you would need from the case to not be a tofu to begin with

[stone flax]

[spice plover]

I have the salvation coming in and the tofu case lying around I might mess around idk

It was just a random idea that came to my mind

Like why can’t I get this “leaf spring system” in a tofu it’s literally small cut outs with metal “spring” attached to to that creates a suspension basically

[crimson sky]

yea

you just need to preceisely make some small cuts

but the tofu was not made with said cuts

aka you would need to put it into a milling machine to add those cuts

[spice plover]

Do you really need this cut out though ?

[crimson sky]

at which point why didn't you just get a case that was made with that

[spice plover]

Or if you do have a cut out does it actually have to be that precise ?

[crimson sky]

do you really need a leaf spring for a leaf spring mount?

[crimson sky]

it has to be more precise than some random dude with a dremel trying it for their first time can do

[spice plover]

What I mean is can there be a system or maybe an entire “tray” that can replace the “little” springs

As in forget the cut outs

[crimson sky]

yea but at that point your case would be really tall and expensive

you would just have a case in the case

[spice plover]

Idk man once I build my first board an see how it all fits together I might come up with something or not

So after my salvation I’ll see if I can think of something that can be more universally fitted instead of creating “cut outs”.

[spice plover]

Just want to say before this convo ends I’m an amateur in this particular modding field this was just a random idea I had since I was interested in the leaf spring system. Don’t want to come off as a smart ass.

[tawdry tree]

LOL

[prime orbit]

4 more days

I can’t wait

[tawdry tree]

Are there spring leafs that mount at the same location something mounts in it? A bad description probably but with the salv they’re mounted with an offset in the case and then end up at the gh60 location

[tawdry tree]

just sandpaper 🗿

[dapper hazel]

lol thats not a leave spring, that's a branch it barely hangs on :D

especially with those sharp corners, wouldve been better rounded

[young marten]

What Mods should i do to the wooting 60he?

[spice plover]

When I’m working on my build I’ll check out out Ty for the thought though !

[stray tiger]

None unless something is broken or you want to change it

[young marten]

For it to Sound Better

[stray tiger]

What is it you dont like about the sound currently?

[ionic breach]

wdym better?

[young marten]

Cuz rn i dont really like the sound of it

[ionic breach]

what about it

[stray tiger]

Need a little more info to be able to make suggestions

[young marten]

I just want it to Sound smoother

[tribal sierra]

Hi all!
Just had a couple questions, I ordered a two HE and I heard trying to mod the case isn't possible or has very limited options, is that still true? I'd like an aluminum case for it but from what I searched up online, I couldn't find much so I wanted to ask over here 🙂

[stray tiger]

Lube your switches and stabilizers. More info here https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399

[young marten]

ok ty

[dapper hazel]

neither :P

[young marten]

does it matter what type of Krytox 205g0

i get?

yes

[stray tiger]

There is Krytox and there are knock-offs/resellers. If youre just doing one board get whatever is cheapest. The lube kit from wooting is a good value

[young marten]

I know the Kit in Wooting is Good value But it the Shipping get here like in an 1week So i don’t really wanna wait that long

[stone flax]

krytox is itself a brand

there is no branded krytox 205g0 than krytox 205g0

There are fakes of krytox but theyre usually the wrong consistency and end up closer to a grease or g2 than 205g0

[stone elbow]

Amazon has lube kits which include brushes, switch openers, jeweler' claw and maybe even lube

[stone flax]

aka dont buy amazon lube

just get lube from a good vendor

[stone elbow]

Gotcha, only tools from amazon then

[stone flax]

there are things u generally can buy generic like grease for stabs and oil for springs, but the actual lube for switches isnt one

[stone elbow]

Idk if i wanna lube jades

[tribal sierra]

Anyone know about two HE custom cases? 😅

[worthy epoch]

2 steps closer to my build👀

[calm pulsar]

naisu

[young marten]

What Brand should i get it from the lube?

[worthy epoch]

Just order wooting lube kit

Comes with both grease n lubr

And also u can order this ALUMINIUM lube station for 5$ instead of 55$ to get lubing tools
https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExHF5hx

[languid forge]

What is the thockiest sounding dampening mod

like pollyfill?

or a case foam

ect.?

[young marten]

It’s gonna be to expensive Cuz of shipping

also gonna take 7days + to come to me

[worthy epoch]

Decide: cheap n sus or a bit pricier n guaranteed quality

[signal ridge]

does anybody have a link to good raw hes

[worthy epoch]

Divinikey.com

[young marten]

Im just gonna only use it for one Keyboard tho

[worthy epoch]

Haha, common thought. It’s same as gambling

[ionic breach]

dont get lube then

[worthy epoch]

You can also purchase smth else off their site. Like pc plate, if you bought assembled 60he+

[ionic breach]

wooting is already factory lubed

[worthy epoch]

https://novelkeys.com/products/lubricants?variant=45901656719527

[ionic breach]

why didnt you buy lube with ur keyboard anyways?

if you wanted to relube them

1000%

unless you like uneven sound and stiff feeling tray mount

[stone flax]

ya

[dapper hazel]

don’t buy from asia (aliexpress/temu/bang) - they buy from dupont asia which has a different texture and different non standard (nlgi 2) grades are commonly not ordered but mixed by them…

[stone flax]

Water and grease is close enough to 205 right ?

[thin geyser]

Hey guys, I’m currently tryna mod my stabs. How do I pull them out of my wooting 60he+?

[stone flax]

plate mounts?

[thin geyser]

Screw in

[stone flax]

take out ocb

Pcb

Remove swittches Unscrew from back

[spice plover]

@stone flax always coming in clutch

[thin geyser]

So take the white thing off the black plate

[stone flax]

Its in the plastic

[thin geyser]

Thank you guys

[spice plover]

If you find a way to put it in like that I’m sure the sound will be crazy

[thin geyser]

How do I open the stabs?

[neon tiger]

thank you

i guess thats the best case now ?

[neon tiger]

thanks

[stone flax]

wdym?

[stone flax]

pop the wire off

[spice plover]

Idk if my lube is bad it’s also from Amazon but it had a lot of reviews as well

[stone flax]

is it just random lube from a kit?

[spice plover]

Sumgsn company name I think

[stone flax]

yeah

thats just sus

[stone flax]

yup

[thin geyser]

Did I put it back in the right way or does the wire need to be on the bottom side?

[pulsar crater]

If I'm not mistaken you can't put it in backwards

[thin geyser]

So the wire on the bottom

[pulsar crater]

I'm saying it should be correct because it only fits one way

[thin geyser]

Oh okay

[stone flax]

Did you finish tuning?

[idle vine]

just got my 60he module just wondering whats the difference between the silicone and poron?

[spice plover]

@pulsar crater profile looking like a morning snack wdf

[tawdry tree]

Correct.

[tawdry tree]

Correct as well.

[spice plover]

My tofu came in today I’m thinking about snagging a module and giving my og 60he to my brother with the tofu and new module with salvation idk yet

[stone flax]

uhh

build the tofu

[tawdry tree]

Good gift ngl

[spice plover]

Yeah I think I’m going to just cause I can fully try it out myself xD

the coiled cable it just straight preference right

[stone flax]

yes

[spice plover]

Any specific screw in stabs I can get for the + version or are stocks actually amazing? have only been looking at plate mounted for my HE

[stone flax]

If ur stabs work they work

[elfin garnet]

I need to get me a US connect cause this shipping is ridiculous. On top of that I have to pay 25% VAT and a fee to the company that handles customs clearance

[quiet bay]

well looks like im never going to get a suede desk mat...

[elfin garnet]

Need someone from the US to ship it to me as a gift. No VAT then 😄 lol

[flat cobalt]

Wtf lmao

[spice plover]

Are screw in stabs that come with stock wooting better than even plate mounted AX AP stabs?

[stone flax]

nothing really makes one stab better than the other with exception to ease and compatibility (maybe small sound/feel differences)

the only thing problematic with tx ap is some people have experienced them not fitting properly and needing workarounds to work

But once any stab is tuned they’re 99 percent the same as any other one

[elfin garnet]

I will never understand why anyone would get TX AP stabs when they're known to have issues and when stock stabs works fine

[stone flax]

idk

literally the weirdest stabs choice

[barren wasp]

is a desk mat worth the 150

[stone flax]

for a wooting

[elfin garnet]

100%

[calm pulsar]

they simply dont work for wooting, unless you have wider holes on the plate

[stone flax]

just tune ur current ones

[elfin garnet]

Probably not but it looks good and I imagine the feeling of typing on it feels soft, which I like

[calm pulsar]

the screw-in ones

[quiet bay]

I dont think it's built for gaming and more of just workplace aesthetics

but yeah looks premium

[elfin garnet]

Yeah I'm not using that under my mouse. Using my artisan there

[flat cobalt]

I got a random brand cause I wanted them to be colored

[stone flax]

keebmats are cheap

wait

Wrong guy

[quiet bay]

lmao

[elfin garnet]

I'm not opposed to getting third party stabs. Just don't get getting TX AP stabs when they have issues on a Wooting

[pure wraith]

fully modded and new keycap set

[elfin garnet]

Those legends look small. Looks good tho

Different

[pure wraith]

the white keys i’m going to be changing soon

[harsh dove]

I own two of them

They're amazing

and they're 100% Handmade Italian Leather

[elfin garnet]

Which is why I'm considering paying $60 in shipping, VAT and fees lol

[barren wasp]

whats the benefits of it being leather?

[harsh dove]

They have a nice soft plush to them, they age nicely if you take care of them, and they feel very premium/elegant.

It’s definitely not for FPS gaming but it’s doable.

[thin geyser]

Which one do I put between the pcb? The silicone thing or the foamy one?

I’m trying to put everything back together after modding it. I feel so lost

[harsh dove]

And it makes my keyboard sound slightly different compared to using my other desk mats, and I like it tbh

[harsh dove]

Personal preference

[thin geyser]

Ah okay

[quiet bay]

that's mad clean

[thin geyser]

What do you think is better?

[quiet bay]

did u spray paint the brass or smth?

[stone flax]

try one

[harsh dove]

Depends on the entire build but I prefer using nothing or using silicone mainly

[stone flax]

then try other

Then go with what you like more

[thin geyser]

Haha

What gives better noise?

[harsh dove]

Yeah really just comes down to what your goal is

[thin geyser]

I don’t know what to choose

My goal is having a nice sound when I’m typing

What do you guys have,

?

[quiet bay]

Fellow white and black keeb user c:

[stone flax]

i mean the best advice is literally try both and no foam

Then go from there

No one can say what youll like the most

Thats up to you to decide

[harsh dove]

Yeah I’d just try all 3 options

Foam, silicone, nothing

[thin geyser]

Laright I’ll try something hopefully it’s right because when I put both of them I couldn’t screw it in so it’s one or the other

[pure wraith]

ceracaps are my next pickup

[quiet bay]

👀

[stone flax]

Dont use both

[quiet bay]

twins yo

[orchid pelican]

3d printed insert or painted? Also thinking of doing the same and haven't decide what route I take. I figure some Rust-oleum should in theory work well on brass.

[polar girder]

I’m kinda tempted NGL

I was checking out their site other day.

But don’t want to have to swap springs again lolz

[pulsar crater]

Hmm?

[quiet bay]

wait for sale that's what i did

waiting for them to release 1.5U keys so that I can finally get rid of the tube 😢

it still throws me off

:v

[barren wasp]

where are some places i can get high quality desk mats?

[pure wraith]

heat wrapped like you do on a car (satin black)

[orchid pelican]

oh smart that's a 3rd option I did not even consider.

[pure wraith]

i think it’s the easiest and cheapest

you just need a hairdryer and a small craft knife

get a big sheet so it give you enough time to get it good

you will mess it up a few time because it’s so small

[pure wraith]

with ceramic caps

do you need to change your actuation or springs because they are heavier

also what tube are you talking about

[quiet bay]

i call it a tube cause it looks like a tube

going out

[quiet bay]

nah I dont need to change actuation it just makes pressing it a little bit easier

I already have 60g springs so i dont rlly gotta swap anything out

i use 100g for my spacebar cuz it feels nice

[quiet bay]

yeah vinyl wrap tests my patience sometimes 😢

cause I also vinyl wrapped apart of my case

i got matte black tho

[spice plover]

Cool discord profile made me click and see the style

[pulsar crater]

Thanks

[pure wraith]

i’m on the 45 lekkers

[quiet bay]

ur gonna need atleast a 60g spring for the spacebar

[west finch]

Hey guys I sent a quesiton over the other day regarding ceramic keycaps and how the space bar was not actuating and was sticking down and I would have to pry it up. A bunch said to get the lekker 60's and I just swapped the spring out and have the same issue. Any ideas?

[quiet bay]

that's strange cause I had a 60g spring on my spacebar once and it went back up completely fine

[stone flax]

60g spring in there?

[west finch]

Yes

[quiet bay]

and a normal plastic spacebar works fine?

[stone flax]

[west finch]

I feel like it is the two black stabilizers on the sides. They make a clicking sound when I pry the spacebar up and down

[quiet bay]

Interesting

[quiet bay]

try switching stabs with another one

[west finch]

like from the enter key?

[quiet bay]

ye

any other stab that works fine

[stone flax]

what are those stabs btw

stock screwins?

[west finch]

Yes

[stone flax]

[quiet bay]

very ... interesting

it shouldn't be struggling to

the stabs seem perfectly fine rebounding the plastic spacebar

[west finch]

Could there be maybe a production isssue with the spacebar?

It look fine though

[quiet bay]

is it rlly a 60g spring?

[west finch]

Yea

[quiet bay]

there's also a possibility that you may have swapped in the 45g spring in again

on accident

[west finch]

Nah they look different

One is bigger

[quiet bay]

honestly I would try doing it again

just in case

[west finch]

Okay

[celest parrot]

Those keycaps look nice

[west finch]

Thank you, I just wish the spacebar worked

[quiet bay]

i rlly think it's the spring tbh but could be wrong

[quiet bay]

er

that looks

like the l45 spring ngl

but holdup

wait let me look at my l60s

[quiet bay]

yeah that looks like l45 spring in there

This is an l60 spring

[west finch]

The one on the right is the L60 spring from wooting and the one on the left is the stock spring that came in the switch

[quiet bay]

wth

theres no way the right is l60

the left one looks identical to my l60 spring'

[quiet bay]

right one looks too weak

that is super weird

let me check my lekker 45s on my uwu

what in the world

why is that l60 spring so spread out?

[untold wigeon]

This is exactly why I recommend 80-100 instead of 60.

[west finch]

Could they put the wrong springs in the box?

[quiet bay]

its just 60g spring is the bare minimum you need

[west finch]

I wish you wouldve seen my message last week haha

[untold wigeon]

I’m sorry buddy. I’m usually around.

[quiet bay]

very odd, i've only seen l45, l60, and l100 spring sadly

I cant tell what spring that is 😭

it looks like the l100 but shorter

[untold wigeon]

There are variances in the spacebars. He could have a heavier one. But @quiet bay is right. Those springs look very strange. Like if someone ordered springs and swapped used ones and returned them to get their money back.

[west finch]

That would be unfortunate

[quiet bay]

honestly the variances in the spacebar shouldn't matter cause even cerakeys themselves recommend atleast a 55g+ spring

[untold wigeon]

True.

[quiet bay]

so 60g should def be sufficient

[untold wigeon]

Should be

Order 80-100s and be done with it

[quiet bay]

sometimes I wish wooting had a picture of all the springs in a row

😔

[west finch]

I ordered 100's

[untold wigeon]

This would be smart.

[quiet bay]

welp feedback time 😂

idk but can you atleast tell which one feels lighter tho?

may be harder cause small difference

wait you know I just realized

didnt you already have l60s cause those are green stems on ur switches

if only I could come in person and see what's going on 😂

imagine if the spacebar was actually just too thicc and got stuck on the stabilizer. . . .

[quiet bay]

actually this really is also a possibility

@polar girder didnt you have a keycap problem with your stabs and how it couldn't go back up?

[west finch]

Oh gosh getting stuck on the stabilizer. That would suck

[polar girder]

Yeah plate mount tx ap on custom plate

[quiet bay]

were the stabs the problem or was it the keycap 🤔

[polar girder]

Stabs or plate

Not keycap or switch tho

Swapped them both

[quiet bay]

ahh ok ok

[west finch]

https://wooting.io/product/60he-pc-switch-plate#judgeme_product_reviews?Layout=ANSI+Kit&Color=White#judgeme_product_reviews

I have this coming in too

On top of the springs

[quiet bay]

wonderful combo with cerakeys

[west finch]

Which one should I use? I was thinking the silicone one

[quiet bay]

I use poron

[west finch]

I hope maybe this and the new spring might fix the space bar

[barren wasp]

is wooting the only place to buy a PC plate?

[west finch]

What plate did you replace it with to get the ceramic spacebar to work

and where did you get new stabilizers?

[quiet bay]

nah he didnt have ceramic keycaps

he had SA profile keycaps

and looks like the stabs were mainly the problem probably

[west finch]

Wooting doesnt sell stabilizers do they

[quiet bay]

nope they dont sell stabs themselves

[thorn grove]

No

[polar girder]

I just went back to stock Wooting stabs and no issues. And what Pochizo said.

[untold wigeon]

I’m on stock stabs too

With Cerakeys

[fluid ravine]

Afternoon modderrssss

No better place than home

(Fk skool)

[calm pulsar]

yup, working from home rn

[fluid ravine]

[quiet bay]

I need me a remote job

[fluid ravine]

Well only thing getting me excited is my first practice tmr

Finna be jumping like crazy

[quiet bay]

i wanna tryout but

I dont think im good at all rn 💀

can barely spike

been so long idk if I can even hit the ball over the net

[fluid ravine]

just try out pochi

even if you're like bad and all and dont think you will make it, it's always worth the try

[polar girder]

Same

[fluid ravine]

like some dude 6'2 tried out to volleyball and he didnt know jack shit yet we tried to coach him a thing or to, respect to him for trying out

[fluid ravine]

Another thing, by chance idk if it's just my school, you don't really have to play as hitter, we seperate our sections by whoever wants to play as hitters or passers. So if you wanna play then you should just go for passing only if that's a option.

Coaches only mainly focus on you being coachable, or just have any potential into playing the game

[quiet bay]

hmm ok

[fluid ravine]

You don't need to be good at the game

So if they give you tips during try outs, just be prepared and like try your best to follow and listen to them

that shows that you can be coachable and all that.

[quiet bay]

alr

[fluid ravine]

Like for example, while i was doing hitting lines, they told me my approach was all correct and almost perfect but i just needed to loosen up a bit as i was a bit awkward with it. So I hit that and apparently got my first bounce.

[polar girder]

Weird flex but ok

[fluid ravine]

not a flex!

[polar girder]

Jk nice bro

[fluid ravine]

lul

[quiet bay]

ok

time to train my shoulders 😭

[fluid ravine]

warm up for now

[quiet bay]

I swear I have crepitus everywhere

[fluid ravine]

[quiet bay]

my knees, elbows, and even my shoulders like wtf

[fluid ravine]

crepitus 💀

oh na

wait.

I have crepitus

Left elbow and knees

[quiet bay]

I got hella crepitus

[fluid ravine]

[quiet bay]

frik they said most other sports probably but more difficult for volleyball cause its popular

[polar girder]

Bigsly stays based

[fluid ravine]

Well technically no

[stone flax]

lol

[quiet bay]

anyways im going to yoink that document rq

[fluid ravine]

Wait

[fluid ravine]

scrap this for a moment

[steep glacier]

I'm looking into getting Jades with the PC plate and tofu redux but I'm new to the keyboard scene and I don't quite know the name for the sound I'm wanting

[fluid ravine]

my brain is cooking

[devout torrent]

this is good

[fluid ravine]

fukkkkk Thackson's brain is cooked chat

Wait nvm again, the PC plate is the deepest plate sounding material comparing to the others. @steep glacier

[quiet bay]

just slap tape mod on and you get poppier sounds fr

[steep glacier]

just glancing at the plate material list that you sent I really wanna try out acrylic or Brass

[fluid ravine]

It's usually best for like a muted sound

[stone flax]

? this isnt ubiquitous at all

[steep glacier]

wait the PC plate is the deepest?

[fluid ravine]

yeah my brain is cooked dont question me rn

😂

[steep glacier]

I thought PC was one of the highest sounding

[quiet bay]

that's a big boy word right there

that ima have to search up

[stone flax]

[steep glacier]

I'm not the only one lmfao

[fluid ravine]

and pls CHILL ON THE ENGLISH WORD

YOU'RE KILLING ME

hate engrish >:(

[steep glacier]

okay and just for triple clarity's sake, thock is more of the muted/hollow sound

hollow isn't quite the word I feel like

[fluid ravine]

wait hollup

[quiet bay]

low pitch

[fluid ravine]

"Clack is a high frequency and fast sound and thock is a low frequency and slow sound"

Science terms

[steep glacier]

yes
