[tawdry tree]

top housing is alright iirc

[stray tiger]

Thats what I was wondering. Thanks. Did it affect a lot of your switches or just the one?

[elfin garnet]

Do you have a link to previous work?

[tawdry tree]

All yellows

Not any other switches

Also, I asked before but Hejin is the name for Grain Gold in Chinese right?

That’s what someone told me

So that’d be the correct name

[stray tiger]

Who said that?

[tawdry tree]

Freewheeler

[stray tiger]

I'll ask the Grain Gold rep and see what he says but Ive never heard that

[tawdry tree]

I can’t find much on either Grain Gold or Hejin so can’t confirm

[tawdry tree]

Ah alr

[flat cobalt]

the little ball

[tired frigate]

They don’t have enough

[ionic breach]

btw word from the streets are

the v1.5s are made from gaterons and the v2 are from hejins?

[tawdry tree]

That’s the only one in the USA afaik

[ionic breach]

any confirmation?

[pulsar schooner]

It’s still abs tho.

[tawdry tree]

V1, V1.5 are manufactured by Gateron and V2s by Grain Gold (maybe Hejin in Chinese).

[ionic breach]

aight tks

[tawdry tree]

A member here managed to buy Lekker V2s and actually received them lol

[still hearth]

Hey guys, wasn’t sure if there’s a specific channel to ask this but does anyone know where people buy extra plates (fr4, CF etc) for the wooting
60 module?

[ionic breach]

ya and they said it looked similar to the hejins

[tawdry tree]

KBDFans has CF and FR4 iirc

[still hearth]

Gotchu thanks

[tawdry tree]

It looks identical to the Hejin Yellows and Teals from what I can see.

Although those don’t have a Wooting logo of course.

[ionic breach]

grain gold isnt hejin from what i can see

might be wrong tho

[tawdry tree]

Yeah I’m not sure

I was told it that’s the Chinese name

[pulsar schooner]

Wonder why they moved away from gateron as the oem?

[tawdry tree]

Like Gateron and Jiadalong maybe?

[tawdry tree]

💰💸💶💴🤑💵💷💶

[ionic breach]

jin means gold

but idk might just be a coincidence

[tawdry tree]

Interesting, so it might be accurate?

[tired frigate]

I was moreso talking about anyone who has bought them that doesn’t want them anymore

Hahah

[tawdry tree]

Oh I see lol

[ionic breach]

cos he jin means alloy

[tawdry tree]

Don’t think you’ll find anyone tbh

most seem to love them

[tawdry tree]

hmm

[ionic breach]

maybe wooting can clarify

[tawdry tree]

Grain = Alloy 🤣

[tawdry tree]

Perhaps

I think it’s crazy though

Switching from Gateron to Grain Gold

is kinda mental

[potent root]

me 😄

[tawdry tree]

lol

[pulsar schooner]

Has anyone tried the gateron x backspace dual rail whites?

[tawdry tree]

I’ll try to remember your name bro, my bad

[tawdry tree]

Yes, just white KS-20Us

[pulsar schooner]

Do they feel like a notable upgrade in stem wobble?

[tawdry tree]

Dual Rails are just marketing, no real benefit, just a con.

[potent root]

yes they are pretty similar wobble to the v1.5s, slightly better more ofa force to get it to wobble.

I believe the bigger improvement emphasized on the v2s over v1.5s are magnet tolerances

but coming from L60v1.5 to the new L45s, feels great.

[pulsar schooner]

Hmmm, I think I have v1’s in mine so it would probably be a significant upgrade lol

[tawdry tree]

They definitely didn’t mean magnet tolerances with V2s having tighter tolerances.

So if they aren’t that much of a difference to V1.5s, it’d be quite the disappointment.

[potent root]

Heres a ASD spam I did on a mousepad, stock 60he just swapped to L45 V2

If anyone wants to judge for themselves

And if you want theres more recordings further up from that reply.

need to lube stabs and space tho

[tawdry tree]

@potent root only if you have time and don’t mind, could you put the V1.5 stem (the teal one) in the V2 housing?

[stone flax]

? they are interchangable

[potent root]

I disassembled them yesterday, I honestly don't think that they would fit the new housing.

but I will try tonight

[tawdry tree]

Thank you! It’s worth a try

[ionic breach]

oh really?

[stone flax]

yeah

lol

[ionic breach]

i just google searched both to check their products

[stone flax]

they wouldnt call themselves graingold domestically

[ionic breach]

one had some candy coloured ones and the other didnt

aight tks for the clarification

[tawdry tree]

You know for sure?

[stone flax]

if theyre not the same entity, then the alternative is all hejin switches are made by grain gold

and it just so happens

grain gold manufactures all hejin he

[tawdry tree]

All Hejin switches are by the same manufacturer refered to as Grain Gold.

[stone flax]

yeah lol

[tawdry tree]

The question is if Hejin is the Chinese name for Grain Gold.

[potent root]

looks liek it

[tawdry tree]

Ah, now that sums it up. @stray tiger

[ionic breach]

the thing is

[mighty walrus]

Do we know if the lekker v2's will be labeled v2 on Wooting's site when they're available for purchase? Or will they just silently update their stock without naming them so?

[tawdry tree]

It is the Chinese name.

[ionic breach]

wooting said the change from 1.5 to 2 isnt a lot

[tawdry tree]

They are already labeled V2

[tawdry tree]

Thanks by the way.

[potent root]

You can buy them right now by adding a 80HE Module to your cart with the V2 switches and then removing the 80HE from your cart at checkout and just keeping the V2 Switchs.

[ionic breach]

not on the website

[mighty walrus]

man's got hacks. I dig.

[potent root]

It works, I recieved mine.

[tawdry tree]

They aren’t on the website yet, available separately right?

[potent root]

No, but they are in warehouse ready to ship.

90 packs only.

[tawdry tree]

If you add them to the 80HE, they’re labeled as V2s

That’s what I meant

[potent root]

Yes they are

[ionic breach]

yea

[tawdry tree]

So I assume that’ll be the case as well when they’re sold separately.

[ionic breach]

though you wont get the discount

[tawdry tree]

and V1s will be discontinued.

[potent root]

You will get the discount, You can request a partial refund when they go live later for the difference, Wooting Mark confirmed.

[tawdry tree]

What’s the first 80HE batch name?

for EU?

[potent root]

Champion for NA

uh

[tawdry tree]

I think my shit got fucked uo

It says december for me rn

[potent root]

Kampioen

[tawdry tree]

bro what

[potent root]

Brug second

[mighty walrus]

What's that order for?

[tawdry tree]

they pushed me back to the future lol

[mighty walrus]

The whole keyboard?

[tawdry tree]

80he

lol

[uneven cradle]

#📦│batch_updates message

[ionic breach]

bug

i think

[uneven cradle]

Read the batch update 👀

[potent root]

ohh , batch checker is not updated.

[tawdry tree]

Ah I see

[uneven cradle]

Yeah don't worry 😉

[tawdry tree]

it doesn’t say “waiting for batch” or whatever tho

[heavy escarp]

60he+ pcb never making it 😭

[mighty walrus]

Do you have earlier version of the lekker switch to compare your v2's with? Do they feel different? @potent root

[potent root]

I do not have it recorded, but there is plenty online of just stock 60he sound tests to compare.

[stone flax]

he has 1.5

[potent root]

My kb is literally just a stock 60he+ with V2 L45s

[stone flax]

but v1 is alr exhausted

[uneven cradle]

Should be fine you're in one of those temporary batches

[uneven cradle]

He has v2

[potent root]

yeah I have v2s 🙂

[stone flax]

hes asking what older lekkers to compare

[potent root]

oh he means the comapre

yeye

[uneven cradle]

[mighty walrus]

I want to know if the v2 switches have the same key wobble. I don't care about sound really. Just hate the wobble.

[potent root]

do you have v1s?

[uneven cradle]

Even within v1 there's some variation with the stock lubing

[mighty walrus]

I have whatever came in my 60he non plus last summer.

[polar girder]

Yeah

I’m pissed

[potent root]

then it would be a upgrade for you to get

[polar girder]

lol jk

But I’m shook

[stray tiger]

Where did that come from?

[heavy escarp]

my black knights don’t have too much wobble imo

but also no pcb to mount them in to really see

[potent root]

Theres no wobble in the switch unless I force it to wobble. the keys wont wobble just from regular use.

and even then its minimal

but the v1.5s I had before already fixed the wobble aswell

[stone flax]

do have other switches in hand

[tawdry tree]

I didn’t make the screenshot. @stone flax

[stone flax]

or just it and 1.5

[potent root]

the v1s? no but I've used them

[stone flax]

i mean like in general

but i assume only lekkers?

[potent root]

just the lekkers

[polar girder]

SOURCE??

[stray tiger]

Again, Grain Gold could be a division of or subsidiary of Hejin but I hadnt heard that. This is the primary doc I referenced a few years back.

[tawdry tree]

I’ve seen it before

[ionic breach]

lowkey logo looks like a cereal brand

[tawdry tree]

fr

[stray tiger]

haha yeah the grain

[devout torrent]

I think its the same thing

[mighty walrus]

I've heard that switch films can solve the wobble issue. Is that a thing?

[devout torrent]

"hejin" (合金) can mean "grain gold" in Chinese, but it more commonly refers to "alloy" in a broader context. The term "hejin" is typically written as 合金, where "合" means "to combine" or "together," and "金" means "metal" or "gold."

[stone flax]

switch films lowkey makes no sense for he

unless u go with specialized ones no?

[stray tiger]

not suggested

[stone flax]

yeah

i cant imagine 0.3mm films being a good thing to tack on

[stray tiger]

Makes sense

[mighty walrus]

Specialized? @stone flax

[ionic breach]

by itself jin is usually specifically gold

[pulsar schooner]

What are people’s thoughts on the neo lavender switches?

Coincidentally also made by hejin

[stone flax]

ive seen people make ultra thin films that shouldnt affect the distances of anything but its still pretty sketch

there should be better ways to get the improved wobble ur looking for

[tawdry tree]

Good to know that it’s the same thing, so Hejin switches are basically brandless

[stray tiger]

The housings are very tight. Adding films doesnt fix anything

[stray tiger]

Since Hejin does make things like PCB's, it could be that Grain Gold is their switch division/subsidiary

[tawdry tree]

Just closed bottoms, high pitch clack similar to the jades but I like the top out sound on the neo lavs more

[spice plover]

Hey a weird question idk if this is the right place but I have 2 expedited orders for shipping anyway I can make it 1 order ?

Idk if anyone here has those connections or not but thought I would ask

[tawdry tree]

When Googling, I see Hejin Electronics PCB stuff, is that what you’re referring to?

[stray tiger]

Not sure what you found on Google but I know Hejin has electronics like PCB's.

[tawdry tree]

Is that the same company?

I thought it was just switches

[mighty walrus]

Do I need a switch puller to swap my lekkers, or is that kind of a luxury item?

[tawdry tree]

A switch puller is definitely recommended if you want to switch your switches for different switches

😂

You can do without

but they aren’t really expensive

[stone flax]

you need something to pull the switches out

doesnt have to be a 25 dollar aluminum switch puller

[mighty walrus]

I just ask because I don't have one, and Wooting doesn't sell just a switch puller.

[stone flax]

do you have forceps/tweezers that go inwards

if buying a switch puller is a bother (though theyre fairly inexpensive)

can use something like this

[flat cobalt]

Pink Jades are here

[pulsar schooner]

What’s the Thockiest he switch?

[tawdry tree]

You can get one from AliExpress. If you don’t want to, I wouldn’t recommend tweezers but just unscrewing your switch plate and pushing from below. Much easier and it doesn’t scratch your switch plate or switches.

[tawdry tree]

Black Knights.

[thorn zealot]

should i get raw hes or stick to black jades
i heard raw he has tighter stem tolerances compared to norm jades
idk how raws compare to black jades

[tawdry tree]

Similar sound, if you have black jades now I wouldn’t get raw HEs unless you can get them for cheap.

[sterile marten]

have u tried the wuque studios ws dash?

basically a jade but sounds so much better with less stem wobble too

[mighty walrus]

Are they 4mm?

[thorn zealot]

no but i have black jades rn

[sterile marten]

they are 3.5 unfortunately

[thorn zealot]

my wooting module is coming tmr

il see if i want to get raws

they dont seem too expensive

[sterile marten]

yeah i ve seen many good reviews of them

[mighty walrus]

I wish Wooting, or some credible YouTuber would do a thorough video comparison of all the available switches sound differences, and (actually what I care about) stem wobble.

[remote cairn]

They are going to (Wooting)

[tawdry tree]

Dashes are a Jade recolor, I have them, they are the same, they sound the same.

[harsh dove]

Gateron Jades and Wuque Studio Dashes are the exact same switch in regards to materials, tolerances, sound, and manufacturers.
The only difference between them is the stem color, everything else is completely the same.
It’s been confirmed by Gateron rep.

[tawdry tree]

It has to be that the purple stem reflects sound differently, surely that’s it!

https://tenor.com/view/copium-meme-pepe-frog-gif-26117735

[stone flax]

woah

news to me

apparently being pink helps everything

[tawdry tree]

😂

[harsh dove]

Colors are sounds

[tawdry tree]

real and true

[stone flax]

i can hear the purple stem

[thorn zealot]

no i swear pink sounds cleaner than white i swear

[sterile marten]

yeah i mean i tested both and the dash was totally different for me

there are reviewers out there with similar thoughts too haha idk

[stone flax]

black jades are thockier bc theyre a deeper color

[sterile marten]

thats interesting

[harsh dove]

Yeah, don’t feel alone, a few people have shared similar thoughts

[sterile marten]

i lubed both of them and I guess I just did a better job with the dashes then haha

[tawdry tree]

lol

[thorn zealot]

is there a difference between getting an alu plate from smkeyboards and hypekeyboards

or whatever the web name is

[heavy escarp]

holy 60 just cam on and i was not ready for the packaging to be so nice

[flat cobalt]

So many Jades

[tawdry tree]

Grey and beige?

Where did you get them?

[flat cobalt]

Pink and Lavender

[tawdry tree]

bro what

that looks grey and beige right?

[flat cobalt]

The pink are from Cuixui and the lavender limited edition to a keyboard ATK RS7 Pro

[tawdry tree]

in ur pic

[flat cobalt]

Yeah it looks shitty the camera

[tawdry tree]

not lavender, Amethyst.

Lavenders are not by gateron

[tawdry tree]

alright, thought I was colorblind for a sec lmfao

[flat cobalt]

A bit bettwr

[tawdry tree]

much better

[flat cobalt]

Yeh!

[tawdry tree]

you took the amethyst jades out of your rs7 i presume?

[flat cobalt]

Yeah lol

[tawdry tree]

alr alr

I still need to get them

but don’t really feel like buying a whole board lol

[flat cobalt]

Yeah it's dumb on my part; I just really wanted to mix and match the them

[tawdry tree]

haha

[untold wigeon]

Totally looks beige on my phone

[tawdry tree]

😌

thank god man

I was tripping for a sec

[flat cobalt]

Skin fleshed Jades

[tawdry tree]

now u put it like that

😧

[thorn zealot]

should i get an alu plate from here or hypehttps://smkeyboards.com/products/wooting-60he-plate?variant=43923323126007

or does it not matter

[flat cobalt]

[stone flax]

wherevers cheaper

unless someone here has bought both and has found enough distinction to make a choice for you

[thorn zealot]

alr cool

i just dont want to fuck somethin up

[uneven cradle]

There can be some pretty big differences between plate quality depending on manufacturer they opt for

[stone flax]

havent heard anything bad from either sm or hype

[uneven cradle]

Hype makes good quality plates from what I hear, haven't heard anything about the other place

[thorn zealot]

idk someone recommended it to me here before

[devout torrent]

wait for what case?

[fringe canyon]

Hi guys :) is there a tutorial I could follow to install the 60HE+ module into the tofu?

[thorn zealot]

tofu redux

[devout torrent]

ohh ok I thought stock was alu

but nvm its steel

I got my plate from hype prety happy with it

[loud zephyr]

I thought I saw that mousepad recently, this combo makes it pop https://www.coalkeybord.com/keyboards/baionlenja-gehrin-tkl

[flat cobalt]

Ohhh that does look cool

[loud zephyr]

yeah, I'd for this guy to get his hands on the 80HE and see what nutty photos he can do

[polar girder]

Same

[tired frigate]

Name of keycaps

[uneven cradle]

Baion leaves a bad taste in my mouth with how he handled his previous releases (which still haven't released)

[thorn zealot]

maybe il get hype instead

seems more reputable

[flat cobalt]

I like that heart keycap

[stone flax]

looks like fuji

[flat cobalt]

MT Fuji

[flat cobalt]

[tired frigate]

Thank you, you funky kitten

https://tenor.com/view/cat-dance-dancing-cute-freaky-gif-11483087463719423736

[devout torrent]

both should be good, check which one is cheapre for you after shipping

also if you're open to other materials they are quite cheap on aliexpress

[loud zephyr]

yeah, one man army with little to no business skills; what could possibly go wrong if the shit hits the fan

And it did

[polar girder]

Yeah I think I’ll cop the BoB PBS and GMK Cosmos then use whatever one I prefer

Solid combo

[thorn zealot]

im bouta go sw cuz im lost on hypekeeb order process

[devout torrent]

what's confusing?

[thorn zealot]

the file part

do i need additional notes

[stone flax]

List

I see on list

[tired frigate]

check dm

[devout torrent]

https://hypekeyboards.ca/products/wooting-60he-plates

[stone flax]

Wait

Is this a custom plate page?

[loud zephyr]

that's pretty cool, especially the octopus blank. A few of those would look good on a beige version of the Mictlan. I just want the dinosaur of artisans... and then saw the aftermarket price

[devout torrent]

ya he's on the regular order page instead of wotoing option

[devout torrent]

clack spotted

[stone flax]

yeag

Oops

Leaked my low battery

[loud zephyr]

where are you hiding yours? gib to me

[devout torrent]

sold mine ages ago

[loud zephyr]

[thorn zealot]

wow this is alot easier thanks

[barren wasp]

are the delivery fees high>?

[devout torrent]

I paid $11 in shipping to the US

depends where you are

[thorn zealot]

where do i get the file for 60he+

[thin geyser]

Guys what are the best best keycaps that fit in with the anodized black tofu60 redux?

[thorn zealot]

i dont see it on their plate list

[thorn zealot]

up to u

[thin geyser]

Uhh I know but do you guys know any good black ones?

[thorn zealot]

like all black set?

or like BoW

i mean WoB

[stone flax]

is this still hype

or sm

[thin geyser]

Idk honestly

[thorn zealot]

hype

[thin geyser]

I have a black tofu60

What goes with black case?

Black white keycaps or anything else?

[stone flax]

Are u on the wooting plate site

[stone flax]

anything goes on black

tbh

[thorn zealot]

im on this one https://hypekeyboards.ca/collections/in-stock-1/products/wooting-60he-plates

[stone flax]

for case u put standard?

[thorn zealot]

this is a pretty simple https://divinikey.com/products/pbtfan-wob-keycap-set-doubleshot-pbt

[thorn zealot]

i have tofu redux so i went other

[stone flax]

standard

[thorn zealot]

oh alr

[thin geyser]

These are clean

Any others with like Japanese stuff

[thorn zealot]

and the screw kit addon will include the kbdfans standoffs with the plate right?

[stone flax]

https://divinikey.com/products/keykobo-wob-keycap-set

[raw mortar]

best WoB with centered letters?

[stone flax]

Hiragana?

[thorn zealot]

idk if this is japanese or whatever it is called https://divinikey.com/products/pbtfan-wob-keycap-set-doubleshot-pbt?variant=a

[thin geyser]

Yes i think so

[thorn zealot]

the crosshair kit btw

[stone flax]

https://www.keykobo.com/products/in-stock-kkb-wob-text?variant=50248058863934

[thorn zealot]

wow i thought the wooting plates need the standoffs

[stone flax]

both the pbtfans and kkb one have an extra kit for japanese legends

[thorn zealot]

or is my reading rly off

[stone flax]

Im actually not sure i just ended up using hex screws i had already

i could be wrong but with my frog plate the wooting screws were too short

could be the same since this is also from hype and u need to buy screws

[uneven cradle]

Yeah I believe you need the add on screws

[thorn zealot]

il just get the screws just in case

[polar girder]

Yes get stand offs and reverse sunk thing

Need to attach plate to PCB

[thorn zealot]

yeah smkeeb plates are like 10 bucks cheaper than hype for me

[loud zephyr]

clear keycaps if you can live with fingerprints https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1273237198799507476/1273237200779350046/IMG_20240814_124948_3762.JPG?ex=66c5cb0c&is=66c4798c&hm=8b61c54528d9533a834286aa0cb0ecf4930d4c1adfbcbd20551b837832abdbb6&=&format=webp&width=1051&height=1401

smk jdidnt have pc when I was ordering 😦

[devout torrent]

thats way better than the red sublettering

[thorn zealot]

im getting my module tmr

so il see if i want to swap plates

[thin geyser]

Damnnn that guy matched it so clean

[barren wasp]

arent the stock keycaps good already?

[stone flax]

Up to the person

[barren wasp]

how can i tell if they are high quality or not

[tidal frigate]

Next month i'am buying tofu and finnishing my nordic themed build

[stone flax]

most obvious tell is proccess and legend quality

like first thing to look at

and any apparent manufacturing marks left

wait actually

[fluid ravine]

Goodeo moodddeerrrsss

finally home

[harsh dove]

I’ve gotten plates made by both Hype (Tom) and SMKeys, both are great and haven’t had problems with either. I’d go with whichever has faster and/or cheaper shipping.
I did have a small problem with one of the plates I got from SMKeys but they sent me a new plate the next week free of charge.

[dim agate]

noob question -what's the purpose of this if wooting already comes with plates?

[harsh dove]

Different materials

[uneven cradle]

Different sound/feeling

[harsh dove]

Produces different sounds and different feel when typing

[thorn zealot]

i dont want pc?

[dim agate]

im local in toronto, do you know if i can pick this up locally?

[harsh dove]

I’m not sure, you’d have to ask Tom

[fluid ravine]

toronto :0

[dim agate]

yup! live right by the rogers

[thorn zealot]

are u a maple leafs fan

[dim agate]

i dont think any toronto peps like our teams...

we say we do.. but sounds like cope

[stone flax]

plate material/case compatibility

[dim agate]

sound as in thockier?

this is my first expensive build

usually i build around the 200 range

[fluid ravine]

Higher, lower, brighter, etc

[dim agate]

intersting

is tom in this channel?

i'll e-transfer him like $40 now and go pick it up lol

[fluid ravine]

Like CF (carbon fiber) for example is one of the brightest sounding plate on the list

[dim agate]

waiting for wooting to ship

[fluid ravine]

PC (polycarbonate) is probably the deepest with low resonance

[stone flax]

i love cf

so high

not metallic

yummm

[dim agate]

i assume wooting ships with PC?

[fluid ravine]

making the board sounding more soft and maybe muted

[stone flax]

or steel

[fluid ravine]

The Module will include the pc plate, the prebuilt has steel for stock

[fluid ravine]

im looking forward to CF

still don't know when i could get it

[stone flax]

you getting one?

[fluid ravine]

Planning to

[dim agate]

ahh. i got the module, so i got PC plate

i just realized it's pc

damn

[fluid ravine]

Yeah

[stone flax]

one of my fav plate materials

[fluid ravine]

yup looking forward

prob get a keebmat after

then a straight aviator cable

[dim agate]

yeah.. imma drive to osume thursday

and pick up another matt

[uneven cradle]

PP best 👌

PP or Alu

[thorn zealot]

how does cf compare to alu

[dim agate]

thinking picking up alu

from sound profiles

[stone flax]

from what ive used

higher pitched

But lacking that metallic resonance ig

[dim agate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N624WUB7m_4

[thorn zealot]

damn i might get cf now

[fluid ravine]

For me i think, alu is debatable

I think its great but usually would depend on the board and switch for me

imo

[dim agate]

i might pick up alu, sounds better imo

[fluid ravine]

Or in general i think its a tiny bit hard to work with? not really

[stone flax]

alu just cant be a wrong choice but its not always the right choice

[dim agate]

gateron jade + alumaze60 base - good with alu plate?

[fluid ravine]

yeah yeah

[stone flax]

[fluid ravine]

ping master right here

[dim agate]

hahaha

wouldnt cf be a higher ping?

or because it's alu on alu

[uneven cradle]

Depends on lots of factors really, preference of sound/feeling but also mounting style and switches can change it too

[uneven sequoia]

Not much of a point in getting the gateron jades when the new lekker switches sound just as good if not better

[fluid ravine]

Well that's one factor on why i said ping master, im saying this because the alumaze bezel thickness is thin, which mean the case would resonate more with ping and hollowness

The plate itself however not really

[fluid ravine]

^

[fluid ravine]

Both sound profiles are different so I wouldn't say this

[uneven cradle]

Even within the same mounting style there's a lot of variance on the implementation too

[stone flax]

alu or pp top mount

[fluid ravine]

ooo yeee top mount

i like top mount, although im not a HUGE fan of stiff boards i like how top mounts sounds

🫶

[fluid ravine]

RAW HE and Gateron Jades/Dashes however are debatable I'd say

that's when i would say smth like that

[polar girder]

Both

[uneven sequoia]

Both quite thocky

[fluid ravine]

Nope

I disagree

By alot

Damn i kinda went harsh there..

[polar girder]

I’ll have a side by side in another week or two

[uneven cradle]

Jades are objectively more clacky

[fluid ravine]

Man i hate buzz words FK

ok anyways

[uneven cradle]

If you wanted thock I would not buy jades

[polar girder]

Jades and raws are anti thock

BK and PP for thock

[harsh dove]

Just a friendly reminder to take any and all sound test with a grain of salt, your board/build will not sound exactly like those in the videos.

Carry on.

[stone flax]

[polar girder]

Hell nah

[stone flax]

lil shoosh moment

[polar girder]

Never have never will

[uneven cradle]

Bout to end up like that Black Simon sound test setup

[polar girder]

Sound tests are only helpful if a A/B

[fluid ravine]

KS20/Lekkers are more of a neutral and low sounding pitched switch with their open bottom out housing, Jades however is more of a "long pole" sounding switch with the bottom out floor thickness increasing making the travel distance shorter. Add all this up you get a higher pitched bottom out.
If you wanna work with "thock" go off with open bottom housing, they're more easier to tune to thock than pretty much than the closed

[polar girder]

cuz then you can tell how it changes their sound

[fluid ravine]

Maaan I dont believe a single thing you say! In sound tests from the internet we trust!

[harsh dove]

[stone flax]

long poles arent necessarily higher pitched just louder and more emphatic

[polar girder]

Closed bottoms just suck

Fight me

[stone flax]

deep long poles

[fluid ravine]

yeah reason why i put ""

[uneven cradle]

https://youtu.be/MVm_qIT_PyU?si=OxQFg2bgimqNwEkJ

[polar girder]

Nah I’m jk

[fluid ravine]

Cus these closed switches aren't really long pole

[polar girder]

Don’t put nothing between my magnet and mah PCB, ya hear??

[fluid ravine]

Again the bottom out floor thickness is increased instead of the stem being longer

[fluid ravine]

lul

says the one who put medical tape on TOP of the pcb

[stone flax]

??????

[fluid ravine]

LOL

[stone flax]

Tape mod on the wrong side???

[fluid ravine]

LOL

He put uh tempest tape mod as usual and a layer of medical tape on the top of the pcb

dont worry he took it out already

[thorn zealot]

are we serious????

[fluid ravine]

lulll

[fluid ravine]

how much more serious can i be

[thorn zealot]

seriously duude

[fluid ravine]

I'm serious

[harsh dove]

Interesting

[untold wigeon]

I’m dying to know what they sound like.

[harsh dove]

Your ears might die if they find out

[untold wigeon]

It has to be interesting. Probably garbo quality but still.

[harsh dove]

Is the bottom layer plastic?

[untold wigeon]

I think so????

[dim agate]

Is it just me? or does the CF plate and PC plate sound the same in the wooting alumaze?

https://youtu.be/0Yk8TBAarA8?t=744

https://youtu.be/0Yk8TBAarA8?t=1298

those are time stamped

[harsh dove]

Looks like it so might not be too bad

[polar girder]

They come in black

[untold wigeon]

Pictures show it goes all the way down the side

[harsh dove]

Yeah but the stem itself looks to be plastic

[untold wigeon]

Good point but I wonder if the silicone everywhere else is enough to mute the sounds coming from it

[harsh dove]

I’d think so

Probs sound like a membrane keyboard almost lol

[untold wigeon]

Omg I wonder if it does. That’d be hilarious

No more testing for me.

I have like 15 sets of caps right now. I’m not buying any more unless it’s something I really really want.

[harsh dove]

Yeah I’m chillin unless I see good sales or something I really want , I’m just waiting on Emma and Cosmos rn really, and possibly whatever Keymachine drops with their limited sets

Or if Tirade hits me with any hidden gems that idk about, he’s good at that

[untold wigeon]

@harsh dove OMG I found something similar. Watch the end of the video. These are the strangest sounding keycaps I have ever heard!!!

@calm pulsar listen to this. lol. Ridiculous

https://youtu.be/QTtuHkO0jxw?si=vx6ps2qmIt527MZh

[tidal frigate]

Is it possible to do non magnetic metal stem?

[untold wigeon]

Good question. I have no idea

[harsh dove]

Is that a typewriter

[untold wigeon]

I know right! lol. It sounds so freaking weird

[stone flax]

that exists

[tidal frigate]

How where

[untold wigeon]

What non ferrous metal does it use?

[harsh dove]

Aluminum maybe

[tidal frigate]

Is anyone crazy to do aluminium top bottom stem made out of aluminium but with lekker magnet

[stone flax]

done many ways i think nk+ have inserts, tempeh/iron joes have metal* poles

surely theres a full metal stem

[quiet bay]

sounds just like a membrane keyboard 😅

[tidal frigate]

I wonder costs for one

Would be 30+ €?

CLACKIEST 60 HE, EVERYTHING MADE OUT OF ALUMINIUM

[stone flax]

seeing as even metal coated switches cost a lot

a lot lot 😭

[polar girder]

wtf is happening

That sounds horrible lol

[stone flax]

theyre actually not that bad, a waste of money sure but you can get them sounding okay https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Btql5-pNHwM

this is prolly a bad video for anything (look at his configs )

they just sound like switches lol

[quiet bay]

but damn it sounds nice

[untold wigeon]

Omg aluminum with pp plate @ 0:30 Quick someone go get @fluid ravine this is exactly what he’s looking for. All the clack. lol.

[uneven cradle]

PP plate is like the clack of alu with the feeling of PC 👌

[untold wigeon]

It’s like…. “how much clack would you like?”

-“Yes”

[polar girder]

Yeah I want to try nylon

[untold wigeon]

Honestly though that video has me sold on a PC plate

Sounds so damn good

Excited for alu now lol

[fluid ravine]

oh man this is really nice

Really soft

damn

Tape mod do be helping it making it more poppy

Ohhh the LeoBog i remember that board

[heavy escarp]

i was avoiding doing the math but it was time to face the music

i spent 611 dollars on my first build 😭

[stone elbow]

and it keeps going to climb

[heavy escarp]

it ain’t never gonna stop huh 😔

[fluid ravine]

i could never

[uneven cradle]

Hobbies are only as expensive as you make them unfortunately for me I've made this one an expensive one

I'm supposed to be buying a new camera and lenses

[stone elbow]

i'm supposed to be saving for a car

[paper bloom]

U cld try the new sony RX1000 VI

Or idek if ita new

Its*

[heavy escarp]

i got enticed by the metal keycaps

shiny too strong for my feeble mind

[uneven cradle]

Thinking about just picking up like a cheap second hand Sony A7III or something

[sand radish]

so i put my 60 he together yesterday and i am having problems with the usbc port

i followed a guide and now i cant even get it to work

[heavy escarp]

is there something i have to do to get it to ship?

[upper swan]

why did you post here after someone told you to ask support?

[fluid ravine]

#1019755933959733258

[stray tiger]

Which guide did you follow and what's the issue you're having? Does it not power on or does it not plug in all the way?

[sand radish]

not power on

[stray tiger]

Are you using the stock cable and case?

[sand radish]

how to install the modular in to the almaz

and no

[stray tiger]

Try the stock cable and see if it works

[sand radish]

it doesnt work with both

i tried very finicky with base cord

[stray tiger]

Remove the PCB from the case and plug it in and see if it works outside of the case

Sounds like an alignment issue and you're not getting full insertion

[sand radish]

i cant at this moment

what do i do after that

it looks completly center

[paper bloom]

Thats one way to do it

[heavy escarp]

my fault gang i’m 3 hours into overtime i’m a little tired

thanks for the help tho

[weary shard]

yo guys i just ordered the 60HE module, with geonwork raptors and tofu60. Any recommended easy mods, this is my first solo keyboard build.

yall seem like some knowledgable and experienced peeps

[thorn zealot]

One mod u can do for free is putting like painters tape on the back of the pcb

For a more thockier sound ig

Me personally I don’t like thock that much

There’s some other ones but u gon have to buy more things for them

[weary shard]

i dont mind but if i could by all modding stuff together itll be more ideal

i watched some videos but have only seen burger mount and tape mod, and maybe some alternatives for foam and plate.

[thorn zealot]

U can lube switches and stabs if u want

[weary shard]

do raptors come prelubed?

[thorn zealot]

Don’t force ur self to if u don’t want to

[thorn zealot]

I’m p sure

[weary shard]

i was kinda lazy and was gonna put it off until some later date

just looking for the quick impactful mods for some thock

[thorn zealot]

Yeah am not into thock so the only mod i can think of rn is tape mod

I’m sure there’s others like swapping plates and foam

[fluid ravine]

#🪛│modding_faq is the best place to look for the basics

Would always recommend going through that if you're new, if you have like specifics questions then you could ask them here

[fluid ravine]

Yup, it's basically just combining certain things liek foam in a certain way to tune the pitch and frequencies the board provides

To get "thock"

[thorn zealot]

Who came up with the word thock

[fluid ravine]

Idfk, i hate it

[thorn zealot]

Just say deep/low pitch

[fluid ravine]

respectfully

I've become the kid that likes it and then become questionable to a hater of that word in a certain way

But I do like the word clack xd, it's self explanatory, but then there's people who used the word incorrectly which just makes it worst

[thorn zealot]

I just think of audiophile terms

Cuz I’m in the audio hobby as well

[fluid ravine]

Is it?

[thorn zealot]

Yeah ppl say things like low, deep, bright sounding whatever

[fluid ravine]

oh mb i read it wrong 💀

I read "I think it's a audiophile term"

xdddd

[thorn zealot]

If ppl in audio start saying somethin sounds thockyor clacks I’m quittin

[fluid ravine]

[thorn zealot]

I can’t even say those words out loud without self shame

[fluid ravine]

Force to love, born to hate

[devout torrent]

one day we'll have HE boards with proper thock

one day

pls god

[fluid ravine]

I mean imo the 80he is pretty gudo

But then the real question we should be thinking about is, what is thock?

Must need a universal definition

[devout torrent]

topre

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEJ-n7FjOW0

[flat cobalt]

Debating if I should do 1 and 1 for the pink and amethyst switches or 1 and 1 entire row -3-

[fluid ravine]

I'm not gonna lie, every since i heard this board it sounds like a membrane to me xd

but a better sounding membrane

[devout torrent]

yeah I mean it is rubber domes

just VERY good domes

I love topre

[fluid ravine]

ohh

[devout torrent]

very tactile as well

my favorite switches honestly

made it to global in csgo on an hhkb

prob not the best board for gaming

lol

[fluid ravine]

lol

[fluid ravine]

I mean the more i listen to it, it does get better

[devout torrent]

ASMR fr

only downside is it can be a bit rattly

whoever modded that one did a very good job

[fluid ravine]

I just spilled water

[loud zephyr]

my favorite switches to type on, kind of reminds me Owen Wilson's nose; not perfect but has a lot of character

[devout torrent]

this guy gets it 😎

[loud zephyr]

[uneven cradle]

I gotta try a topre sometime 🤔

But tbh all the sound tests I hear are not very pleasing to my ears

But I guess I gotta try it in person

[weary roost]

I have a friend that uses topre switches and he swears by them

[fluid ravine]

Got it cleaned up

Just switched the switches to South facing

For fun

Putting back the modifier key caps, they're mushy all of the sudden.

[mighty egret]

comments on the 80he yt soundtest got me cringing

what about moist

mm those keys sound moist

[cyan zodiac]

come to amke

it will be there

[uneven cradle]

I'll see about next year 👀

[uneven cradle]

Sorry spent too much money at your store to fit a trip to sydney in the budget

[cyan zodiac]

[flat cobalt]

Any advice to get a thoclack hybrid

[cyan zodiac]

If you want thock add pe foam

[elfin garnet]

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

Yeah I'm sold. Take my money @polar girder

[glacial wind]

the price is good too. I was expecting way worse for rog top end screen

means if non asus brands use same panel in future we're looking $700 or so

[elfin garnet]

I didn't see the price. What is it? Norwegian VAT stings anyway but idc at this point. Been waiting so long to get something like this lol

[glacial wind]

$999 usd

i was honestly expecting $1250-1500 seeing asus rog top end screens always are absurdly high at launch

[elfin garnet]

Yeah that's not too bad

I see lots of people complaining about it not having Display Port 2.1. Is that a big concern?

[glacial wind]

it's more a thing for monitors that want to do 4k

i don't really care about that since it's a 1440p monitor personally

[elfin garnet]

I mean if it can run 480hz 1440p with its current connections without compressing - I don't see the issue

[glacial wind]

it's honestly everything on the wishlist for me. 480hz, oled, better text rgb

[elfin garnet]

Did they announce release date?

[glacial wind]

today/tomorrow available to order

[valid silo]

I have a question, what is the best stabilizers that compatible with wooting?
I'm deciding between Tx stab and stabbies.

[calm pulsar]

if you're talking abt screw-ins, both of those are not compatible with wooting plates

[valid silo]

Do you have any recommend?

[obtuse bone]

What are you playing where you can reliably obtain 400+ fps? 480hz seems ultra overkill

[calm pulsar]

stock ones are good, just need to make sure they are tuned well
other than that people recommend swagkeys knights and cherry clip-ins

[cyan zodiac]

you can use the stock stabs but i would re lube them

this is assuming you are using stock alu plate

if you are getting a alu frog he plate then tx plate stabs

[calm pulsar]

oh so this is about the frog?

[cyan zodiac]

idk

i am just saying IF

[calm pulsar]

ah you just said "stock alu plate" and I got confused

you probably meant stock steel

[cyan zodiac]

stock plate is steel?

thought it was alu

[sterile crypt]

Its

[calm pulsar]

yeah it is steel painted in white basically

[valid silo]

im not recive the keyboard package yet but I'm choosing the modding things now

[calm pulsar]

are you getting a prebuilt wooting or the module?

[sterile crypt]

I can't wait for mine to come in

Got module!

[valid silo]

the pre build one

[calm pulsar]

yeah in this case you have the ability to install screw-in stabs later, but I'd just see if the stock ones are tuned properly

TX AP, Staebies unfortunately are a little bit wider which introduces issues with Wooting keebs, so you might look into getting swagkeys knight stabilizers, or any gaterons are fine

cause wooting stock stabs are based on gateron

[valid silo]

ohh I see TYSM

[calm pulsar]

on the module you get stock screw-ins which are perfectly fine, I just lubed mine a little bit and they seem good

spacebar might need some more tuning

[glacial wind]

valorant/cs with top tier stuff can reach 480 reliably at 1440p

[sterile crypt]

Honestly not bad

[glacial wind]

it's why if you buy this you'd also buy incoming amd x3d cpu

[sterile crypt]

I like

[paper bloom]

the dude can run other stuff

Apparently it doesnt have to be long pole

[calm pulsar]

yeah but I didnt mention knights cause of long pole
they come in standard and long pole

[elfin garnet]

Yup. This.

Found it for order in my country now. Price is ~ $1190

[glacial wind]

in korea it'd be like $2k because asus never release their top tier stuff locally. I'll probably have to import or wait for LG to launch their own version of this panel

[elfin garnet]

Ah that sucks

You can’t be lucky on all fronts ig.

I just ordered lol

[glacial wind]

I can't wait to use my wooting gift card on the upcoming knob and moist switch

[elfin garnet]

Lol wth is that

Which gift card do you have? I won the €50 one

[glacial wind]

i got a shipping refund gift card to use

[glacial wind]

i've decided the leaked custom switch and knob projects need better marketing and optics so they shall now be known as the moist collection

[elfin garnet]

Nice

[elfin garnet]

Good name

[paper bloom]

O ic

[steep glacier]

anybody found any real difference from Oring modding your 60he?

[sterile crypt]

!

[tidal frigate]

Oring mount?

[floral jacinth]

After creating the order, I forgot to add a product, can we add it on top of the order?

[tidal frigate]

Ask trough support email

[ocean widget]

Finally i finished my wooting :3

[north mist]

the caps are cool

[ocean widget]

sadly there is no purple wrist rest at wooting soo i had to take black but its still great

[steep glacier]

yes

[cold bloom]

Where is this from?

[cyan zodiac]

probs promotion through emails

[ionic breach]

brudda

@cold bloom he fking made it up

its a joke

[cyan zodiac]

[ionic breach]

they are real leaked products though

but parodied ig

[glacial wind]

information leaflets courtesy of the moist church association

we needed a name for these leaked products and the masses have voted on 'the moist collection'

[elfin garnet]

I think purple wrist rest would be too much. I like it this way

[paper bloom]

He could spray paint it

[elfin garnet]

A wrist rest? Don't think that would hold up good over time tbh

[ocean widget]

im just gonna stuck with the black one its fine enough

[elfin garnet]

yeah Wooting might come with a purple one down the line to match their purple Alumaze

[ocean widget]

yeah but im just gonna stuck with the black one xd

[paper bloom]

Depends on the paint coating ig

If u got a cheap one its most likely going to fall off overtime if its like a god tier one its very hard

[elfin garnet]

I think it looks good how it is so I wouldn't change it either

[ocean widget]

anyway i have a weapon if a thief gonna get here

[elfin garnet]

Yeah it might but since you're in contact it with constantly it'll wear over time I think

[paper bloom]

Na so long as u got a good water proofing spray and it isnt toxic it shld b ok

From what ive seen those will work but you gotta like make sure you arent contact with it espcially if its rlly toxic af

[elfin garnet]

I mean yeah. It's colored in the fabric somehow.

[polar girder]

Yeah bro they went all out

Love the 1330p 25” mode

[elfin garnet]

And I went all in. I already ordered

[polar girder]

Oh dang nice haha

[elfin garnet]

Ships 30th of august. I'm hype lol

[devout sphinx]

Are any of you guys aware of places that would apply mods to keyboards? Like you give them your kb, tell them you want X case, Y caps, Z other mods, and they do it for you?

[polar girder]

That’s sick. Well done

I have to buy a fridge this week so I’m going to hold off lolz

[glacial wind]

i'm going to wait maybe 6 months or so to grab it

wait for next gen gpu/cpu to be out then do full new computer and monitor

need that power to ensure i hold 480hz with zero drops below

that is indeed the worlds longest link

[copper glade]

yes, aliexpress for ya

i found a tofu 60 redux case for only 47 usd

[tawdry tree]

There’s a bit of shipping

cost

that adds to the pice

It comes out at like $55

[copper glade]

aliexpress is free shipping im pre sure

ill check

[tawdry tree]

Nah, depends on store

[copper glade]

oh nvmn there is shipping

ill have to sus other stuff

but thats pretty good deal

[tawdry tree]

it is

[copper glade]

what did you think of those double shot pbt keycaps i sent through

[stone flax]

those are definitely something

[copper glade]

what

[stone flax]

something

[copper glade]

i dont know much when it comes to keyboards lol

whats wrong with them, i need to learn whats good and whats bad

[elfin garnet]

We renovated a crack house 2 years ago so I know the feeling lol. Not literally but certainly looked like one when we got it

[tawdry tree]

it’s just xvx/womier double shot, nothing crazy

[copper glade]

true

[tawdry tree]

neither great nor terrible

[copper glade]

i have some black knights coming

mainly just a reduction in stem wobble

[polar girder]

Oh dang. Nice. Yeah we just bought our first house a year and a half ago with lots of deferred maintenance. Freezer is like frosting on the inside rn lol

Just got new windows last month

[stone flax]

they got them CapsLock

hells yeah

[tawdry tree]

shits funny af, caps lock says something different on all their sets

CpLock

as well

[elfin garnet]

The feeling when you're done is so good tho. So the patience is worth it in the end. New windows helps a lot especially in the winter

[devout sphinx]

It's just a general question to see if something like this exists above all else, then how popular it is

[untold wigeon]

Not that I’ve heard of. But then again I haven’t been looking.

[devout sphinx]

Seems fairly overwhelming to me to get everything that's needed and then do the work properly, especially since manual works aren't really a strong suit of mine

[untold wigeon]

I hear you. It really isn’t as difficult as it seems. If you do want help just let me know

[devout sphinx]

Will surely come back to this channel or other sources if I ever manage to get myself to do anything

[elfin garnet]

Yeah we’ve been flipping some and sometimes you’re basically buying the land the house stands on because everything needs to be replaced. Lots of work but usually pays off if done right

[polar girder]

Yeah this fridge and new doors are next

Then fence

Then probably reinsulate the whole dang thing

[untold wigeon]

Yes! My second one was untouched since it was built in 1972. It basically needed an entire remodel.

Those on tofu redux and wooting 60 module, did you guys use the wooting module foam or the redux foam. Redux foam seems quite abit thinner. I'm geared towards a clack build. Thank you.

[south swallow]

How do I remove the stabs from the module? I removed the screws but notice there’s like a lip? I don’t want to put to much pressure on removal

[twin magnet]

BTW my redux is acrylic with brass weight

[untold wigeon]

If you want clack try no case foam at all

thoughts on the IQUNIX EZ60

?

[twin magnet]

Ooooh wouldn't that sound hollow?

[untold wigeon]

It can. Polyfill helps

[twin magnet]

Gotcha thanks for the advise.

[untold wigeon]

It’s not a tofu but here is a no foam build I did.

[untold wigeon]

Watch that video. No foam at all. Just polyfill

[twin magnet]

Wow that thing clacks.

Photos of next key machine set have been released https://thekeymachine.com/products/003

[untold wigeon]

Indeed

[twin magnet]

I'm not sure how mine would sound I'm gonna be installing Geon Raws.

[untold wigeon]

Those are Raws

[twin magnet]

Then you just sold me the best opinion.

Thanks mate.

[untold wigeon]

lol. Happy to help

[twin magnet]

So did you use polyfill or you went empty?

[crimson sky]

have they considered making one that isn't ugly

also it is still the same fomo bs

[untold wigeon]

No foam just polyfill in the bottom. That does have a kbdfans carbon fiber plate but I don’t think steel would be very different

[stone flax]

hot take this some uggs

like i get they go for some unique looking sets

but uh

cook

a bit

[twin magnet]

Mine is 60he+ module and I intend to keep the silicon pad. And it's polycarbonate plate with that one not steel.

[untold wigeon]

It probably won’t clack as well with pc plate.

[tawdry tree]

it’s good for business 🙂‍↕️

[crimson sky]

don't care, still bs

[twin magnet]

Are you using silicon or foam pad between your PCB?

[stray tiger]

I like the new set but the Chladni set was killer. Maybe one of the best looking key machine sets. The limited quantity is just a bonus

[untold wigeon]

In that video. Nothing

[twin magnet]

Oh OK got it thank you very much

[untold wigeon]

No problem

[crimson sky]

limited quanitity should not be a bonus

the prices they charge are quite ridiculous

imo this one is the worst of the 3 they made so far but that obv is quite subjective

[solar lintel]

i really like the design of the umbra keyboard design. i would still like to get see through keycaps. i found a configurator on wasdkeyboards.com but I think they only have colors, no see through for rgb.

Is there a place where I can configure keycaps with custom colors, preferably with more options than on wasdkeyboards but also getting see through keycaps for the letters and symbols?

Thanks for your help.

[stray tiger]

You don't think exclusivity is a bonus for collectors?

[cold bloom]

lmaoooo

[stray tiger]

Don't tell card collectors that

[crimson sky]

I don't think that collecting for the sake of a number on the box is something that helps the hobby
