[stone flax]

Would this work?

[tawdry tree]

Nope! Apparently not.

[heavy escarp]

any key cap that works with mx switches i believe

[stone flax]

im asking if it works for him appearance wise

Hes looking for iso spanish

[strange bloom]

Yeah, not the color but that’s the ISO

[heavy escarp]

oh my bad

i did not see that

[tawdry tree]

Yes

[stone flax]

what color?

[tawdry tree]

Any that are MX compatible

[stone flax]

Do you want

[safe linden]

@tawdry tree do u know if that will work?

[tawdry tree]

No, the LED is on the PCB. So rotating the switch will block the LED even more.

[stone flax]

Are any of these appealing @strange bloom

[safe linden]

Oh, ok

[strange bloom]

I haven’t chosen one in particular for now, will have to go through a selection of them and choose

[stone flax]

i see

[strange bloom]

Nope, too old school vibes

[spice plover]

When you say no foam the silicone doesn’t count as foam right ?

[strange bloom]

I’m looking for something black o white

Full black with white letters or viceversa

[stone flax]

nothing entirely, unless the silicone somehow helps higher pitches

[strange bloom]

And they should let LEDs go through

[spice plover]

Ok ty bro appreciate it

[stone flax]

https://eloquentclicks.com/search?q=iso+es&options[prefix]=last possibly look at eloquent clicks

[strange bloom]

But @stone flax I greatly appreciate you looking up the caps for me, but it’s not necessary, I just need some recommended brands. Someone told me “DYE” any other one you like?

[stone flax]

theyre based in spain

and sell a lot of iso es

[stone flax]

im assuming dye in not meant as a brand here

[strange bloom]

Oh I know them, forgot entirely about them, thanks

[strange bloom]

Oh, ok, my bad, what does it mean?

[fluid comet]

this keycap works on wooting 60 he+ ? https://www.lazada.sg/products/16mm-thickness-black-white-mda-profile-dye-sub-japanese-keycaps-pbt-keycap-for-tkl-61-64-68-75-87-96-104-gmmk-mx-keyboard-i2807969020.html

[stone flax]

probably talking about dye sublimation

[ionic breach]

yes

[strange bloom]

It’s a technique?

[stone flax]

yes

[fluid comet]

@ionic breachthanks

[strange bloom]

Got it

[polar girder]

What is force break mod?

I see it so many times now but have no idea

[strange bloom]

I see some in Amazon hihihihihi

[stone flax]

they use a buffer on the metal on metal contact

[polar girder]

Mine’s off

[silver ingot]

put tape near the screw points on the case to reduce metallic resonance

[stone flax]

can remove pinging or any other amount of problems

[tawdry tree]

🗿

[polar girder]

Im lost. To Google I go

[strange bloom]

Do you prefer tape o burger?

[polar girder]

Completely different and not connected things

[strange bloom]

Ouch, ok

Sorry

[tawdry tree]

Haha it’s alright

You can find a lot of info here: #🪛│modding_faq

[elfin garnet]

red is tape, dots are screw holes

L pic lmao

[tawdry tree]

Picasso up in here

[stone flax]

Oh my

Mine is excessive then

[strange bloom]

Do you know if in my batch (march 2023), lub was applied the same way than actual batches?

[elfin garnet]

What kind of tape are you using? Electrical tape?

[stone flax]

yes im more so talking about the areas

[elfin garnet]

Yeah I see. Was just curious. Haven't done it on mine yet so just wanted to know what I should use

[stone flax]

Lemme see if i have a pic of min

[tawdry tree]

If you mean to the switches, then yes.

[strange bloom]

I think I read somewhere that current lub is applied differently on stabilizers

[strange bloom]

Ok good

Nice

[tawdry tree]

I don’t think so but maybe.

Woot has always used lavish amounts of lube on their stabs

😂

[polar girder]

Oh just for the case

Sorry I think a bunch of stuff didn’t load when I responded lol

[strange bloom]

The more lub the better, in any endeavor

Well, sometimes it’s not like that

But it’s ok

[stone flax]

Oh yeah

That is excessive

Lol

[strange bloom]

There’s a little of case in your tape

[elfin garnet]

lmao

[strange bloom]

KBD fans is still the one to go? I’m modding everything, not just changing caps

[polar girder]

Electrical tape ?

[elfin garnet]

yup

[polar girder]

Ok

Why tf is it called force break mod

I was under the foolish impression we were breaking something

[ionic breach]

breaking the force id assume

like "breaking your fall"

[polar girder]

Hmmm

Yeah I guess lol

[tawdry tree]

force break was actually breaking something

[elfin garnet]

I use it on my Keychron Q5 Pro for work. It works great

[tawdry tree]

on the board it was for iirc

[polar girder]

Seems like a “I might as well” type thing

[ionic breach]

damn really?

[stone flax]

its a mod that is only there if needed

[polar girder]

Yeah o thought like snap the plate to get some flex or something idk

[tawdry tree]

I think so but I might be schizo

[tawdry tree]

it prob is the latter.

lmao

[polar girder]

Or both

[stone flax]

wasnt it popularized cuz of keychron q?

or was there prior

[tawdry tree]

it looks to be yeah

[stone flax]

yeah lol

i dont remember it breaking q1’s?

[tawdry tree]

I’m either confused with something else or dead ass schizo

[stone flax]

take ur meds

[tawdry tree]

[silver ingot]

This is gross

[stone flax]

can u share urs

[silver ingot]

In a bit I'm eating rn

[harsh dove]

I would say abs feels more grippy after it shines personally

[harsh dove]

That’s a lot lol, I used tiny little squares where the screw holes are

[stone flax]

Yeah id say its more sticky but you feel less of the texture running over ur fingers

kinda interesting

[harsh dove]

Agreed

[stone flax]

I wonder how that plays into sweaty hands

[harsh dove]

Please ignore the spilled chocolate protein shake… lol
But this is how I did my force break mod on my frog mini

It been cleaned thoroughly I promise

[stone flax]

Yeah that was my original plan till i saw a youtube vid

[harsh dove]

Yeah I saw one similar to yours using regular masking tape

Looks like it’s more so to help prevent the PCB from hitting the case

[stone flax]

https://youtu.be/VAQT_TyRB1E?feature=shared yeah idk if this guy is insane or not

But i remember it was less for the screws

But where the pcb makes contact

[harsh dove]

Yeah

That’s the same one I watched

[silver ingot]

Frog mini has a really low front height so clip ins are recommended over screw ins

Speaking if

https://divinikey.com/products/tx-ap-stabilizers-top-clip-in

Look at this

Top clips

[polar girder]

Why

My screw ins work fine

Am I dumb?

[silver ingot]

For the most part they are okay however if you use lower durometer tadpoles then it'll compress and make contact with the bottom case

Unless Geon fixed it in a later batch

[polar girder]

and I have 50a tadpoles in

And a layer of kilmat in the case

[pulsar schooner]

I can’t wait for my black knights to arrive

[silver ingot]

Mine are on the way too

I hate seeing my switches under my keycaps

[polar girder]

Omg same

[silver ingot]

So I always try to go for black

[polar girder]

BK are a godsend

[tidal frigate]

Whats diffrencebetween top clipin and normal clip in

[silver ingot]

Top just came out

No clue

[polar girder]

Just read the blurb on the site lol

[tawdry tree]

They seem pretty handy

[tawdry tree]

If it’s somewhat easy to get under that thingy to loosen them

[winged cedar]

that did actually make it ez to understand, thank you!

[spice plover]

@stone flax hey man r you busy ?

[stone flax]

in like 5 mins i wont be

need help w somethin?

[spice plover]

Yeah bro can I video call you just ask a few quick things ?

Basically I took out the screw in stabs as well and put the silicone plate on and screwed in the pcb but realized I can’t get the stabs back in I’m guessing I have to take it apart and put the screw in stabs first before the silicone plate + pc plate?

[stone flax]

oh

yeah

you have to

stabs on pcb prior to putting on plate and screwing in standoffs/placing in switches

[tidal geode]

Is this remotely worth it or should I just wait for the 80

[silver ingot]

I love 60s

[tidal geode]

I have a shitty tray mount sitting in the back for my module

I had a frog tkl

But I didn’t like it that much

[silver ingot]

Why not

[tidal geode]

Not sure if mini is any. Ether

[viscid gulch]

The 60 and 80 is the same keyboard basically only difference is size

[tidal geode]

Better

[viscid gulch]

Get the size you want

[silver ingot]

Are you sure the mounting style isn't completely different

[tidal geode]

The case height was way too low, like there was next to no room for the pcb

[silver ingot]

Frog mini will not satisfy you then

[viscid gulch]

Gasket mounting doesnt really go much

[tidal geode]

Considering the 80 for the gasket

[viscid gulch]

It gives abit of a flex but u can burger mount to get the same feeling

[silver ingot]

Gives a more even typing feel

Tray mount will always suffer from hotspots

[viscid gulch]

And purely gaming gasket mounting is worse but for typing gasket is better yes

[tidal geode]

I wanted to get a frog mini to replace my tray but yeah I’ll just stick with ole tray mount and the module

[viscid gulch]

Yeah but still burger mounting is a thing so there is really no need to pick any keyboard over eachother just pick the size you like 😄

[tidal geode]

Also just double checking, I can get 8k polling with the 60 too right?

Just firmware?

[silver ingot]

If you can find a Sangeo60 it's a solid option. The case height is noticably higher

[silver ingot]

Tho the stock plate might have slightly too much openings

[tidal geode]

That boards ages old, no shot I find it rn

[viscid gulch]

8k is the 80he but 8k polling also not needed no human can see the difference it's 0.75ms difference

[polar girder]

Whoa massive diff

[thorn zealot]

Would u guys say alu and cf plates sound similar

[viscid gulch]

Yeah my bad

[polar girder]

So I’m cooked on 60HE

[thorn zealot]

Just that cf is not as piggy

[polar girder]

RIP me

[viscid gulch]

Yeah u are sadly

[silver ingot]

I modded my Sangeo60 to work with topre, probably my favorite board

[tidal geode]

Noooo my 1ms

Cf sounds more dead than alu imo

[silver ingot]

I won't disagree with that

Alu is probably the most lively and characteristic plate sound imo

It lets switches sing

But if u don't like the sound of your switch very much then other plates are a good choice to hide it imo

imo in my imo opinion imo

[spice plover]

You got 5 mins ?

[fluid ravine]

What happan

[flat cobalt]

I can

[prime ridge]

Has anyone tested Geon's Venom PCB? If so, is it any worth getting for?

[uneven cradle]

Venom pcb is good hardware wise, planning on picking one up at some point to try it out

[polar girder]

I don’t have 8k polling bro

My strafes hitting .75ms after the 80HE bro

I’m cooked!

[polar girder]

Ikr

Can’t have plebs speaking on what I can feel fr

[flat cobalt]

I'm literally a machine

[flat cobalt]

Are you gonna get one of the cosmos artisans after all? The little animal ones

[polar girder]

The frog maybe

I’m not in love with it but it fits

The salvun one is pretty sweet but I don’t so much love the silver

Maybe another one will speak to me more

[harsh dove]

Time to rebuild some boards

[polar girder]

Oh fk

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/no-hope-there-is-no-hope-gif-13196680

[flat cobalt]

That is true he said there's a lot of collabs going right?

[silver ingot]

I used the Geon force break pads. The only downside with these is I can actually see them against the black case from a side view

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’d bother me personally

[uneven cradle]

What you rebuilding to 👀

[silver ingot]

Not poggers. Will definitely do something about it in the future

[harsh dove]

Gonna try the screw-less plate frog mini build again but with the RAW HEs this time. Last time I used them with an incompatible switch I had frankenswitched and I thought it was the plates fault and not the switch.

[harsh dove]

Black marker lol

[silver ingot]

Stock plate has been perfectly fine for me with the jades

Plate fork came in clutch

[uneven cradle]

Interesting maybe I should try it on mine tonight

[harsh dove]

Yeah it seems to work from what I love tested so far

[polar girder]

Seems like. It

Need a cosmos 60% wrist rest

[harsh dove]

Really just curious about separation overtime

[polar girder]

Who makes good wrist rests?

[harsh dove]

Wooting

[polar girder]

GANG

Meh

It’s alright

[silver ingot]

Are there bad wrist rests lol

[polar girder]

Silicone is cheeks tho

Stains

[flat cobalt]

Dude the entire cosmos set would be so pricey; I'm genuinely fkd if they do re release the salvation for it

[uneven cradle]

Wait actually I don't have 60he+ I don't think I can

[harsh dove]

I typically only use mine when gaming

For typing I usually remove my wrist rest

[silver ingot]

No PCB mount stabs?

[harsh dove]

Yeah the stock plate doesn’t work with plate mounts

[silver ingot]

Do you just have the og 60he

[uneven cradle]

Yep

[harsh dove]

Yeah he has OG

[silver ingot]

This my most recent sound test, sorry for mic buzz

sounds great

POM putting in work

when evil dolch finally runs and fulfills its goin on this frog mini

i use 1.5u backspace so I need some kind of novelty for my 2u to act as my delete key

otherwise ill just end up having two backspaces which looks really dumb

[harsh dove]

Backspace backspace

[silver ingot]

idk if any set ever ran with a 2u delete key

its kind of a niche situation

[dry obsidian]

Any tips to reduce the pinging sound of switches? I have case foam and the thin pcb foam but it’s still pingy. I have the tofu60 with geon raw he switches

[stone flax]

You can

[dry obsidian]

It’s mostly on the edge keys especially the tab key it’s super pingy

[tidal geode]

i would pay 200 dollars for a 60he with a jst and h60 outline

and 7u

make it happen

[silver ingot]

i aint runnin no group buy

[tidal geode]

would go insane tho

[silver ingot]

its coming

frfr?

[silver ingot]

geon venom60he

[tidal geode]

is the software good

i have a matrix he pcb and its pretty awful to reconfig

i bought a wooting pcb specifically cause the software is good, at least ive heard its good

[tidal geode]

this is nuts, i might have to rejoin geons server

[silver ingot]

geon is nuts

theres a Venom TKL, idk how good the software is

[tidal geode]

oh shit this thing can go in my kalco too

yooooo

[silver ingot]

https://geon.works/products/venom-he-tkl-pcb-plates?variant=44804532437155

[tidal geode]

ye i thought of buying another frog + that pcb instead of a wooting

but its just too much for soemthing i wouldnt really enjoy too much

sold my frog for a reason 😦

[silver ingot]

I wouldve if i was more patient but im happy with what i got

[uneven cradle]

I'll probably pick it up with a f2-60

[silver ingot]

f2-60 my beloved....

[tidal geode]

the big boy play would be putting that guy in a fatass tkl

giga jane or something idk

[silver ingot]

please ship...

[tidal geode]

giga cloudline

[stone flax]

you could see how it was for the venom tkl, but i think geons making himself without rakka for the new venoms(?) https://kb.rakka.dev/

@spice plover still need help ?

[fluid ravine]

Pushing year 2! You and me Hopper lessgo

[cold bloom]

that sounds wonderful

is your IEM cable from aliexpress btw?

I think I have a similar one

[harsh dove]

Nah , stock cable that came with mine

[cold bloom]

ahh okay

I got a custom length cable from a store on aliexpress called xinhs that was a graphene cable and it looks really similar

it was way too heavy tho unfortunately but it's 2m which is nice

[stone flax]

i heard a catt

[buoyant remnant]

Do you like that USB C housing? I was thinking about grabbing some

[polar girder]

Almost

I didn’t get mine until like Jan 1st week or something tho lol

[deft turtle]

ok very beginner and noob question

i plan to have polyfill put in my case

im gonna use a tofu 60 redux with the weight bar

does it make a difference if i leave the tofu's foam in

and, does it make a difference if i have like pe foam put in

i read that if polyfill is put in the foam from the wooting should be removed

[stone flax]

if u are referring to case foam

as in bottom foam

then yeah

since polyfill's idea is to replace the bottom case foam

doing both would be redundant and take away from the polyfill

[deft turtle]

ok so polyfill is just gonna be the foam then i guess

im trying to get like a quiet ish sound

and like a lower pitch kinda sound i guess?

[polar girder]

Yes

Polyfill good for that

[stone flax]

depending on how heavily u pack the polyfill

u can achieve it

[spice portal]

what are some good sites to buy keycaps?

[ember iris]

Anyone have a fix for this? It broke off while trying to get it out of its case and I wasn’t paying attention. Mainly just asking where I can go to buy a usb port for it or if I should send it back to wooting to get it repaired.

[daring valve]

Can someone point me in the right direction for compatible stabs?

I didn’t realize they were PCB stabs on the 60HE module.

I’ll be using some Geon Raw HE switches, so I assume I’ll need some long pole stabs.

[fluid ravine]

Well thats not good..

[fluid ravine]

You dont

[muted fossil]

i just found out that the glarses discord server got shut down, that was my go to place for my keyboard enthousiast questions lol, is this server big with a lot of smart people or is there another community i could join so i dont ask stupid questions here?

[fluid ravine]

What's wrong with the stock stabs on the module?

[daring valve]

Nothing. I am just super used to using TX stabs for my other builds.

[fluid ravine]

Tbh, cant judge you on what these "stupid" questions are so it's best to ask away

[uneven cradle]

More HE focused with some people who have custom interests probably better servers dedicated to customs

[fluid ravine]

TX AP arent' compatible with the wooting plate, TX AP clip ins has a housing thickness of 6.75mm which is unfortunately incompatible due to how tight they fit into the plate

[uneven cradle]

But we'll still answer what we can

[fluid ravine]

Alexotos?

[fluid ravine]

i mean hey we do have some knowledge on MX boards doe

[muted fossil]

allright so, its time for me to get a new keyboard, i wanted to go wooting for analog, but i dont like their keyboards, is there any possibility for me to get the latest lekker switches and put them in a custom keyboard?

• are there compatible pcbs in multiple layouts and sizes?

• software?

[quiet bay]

nope

[daring valve]

I’ll just relube the stock ones and give them a try.

[quiet bay]

putting lekkers onto a custom keyboard wont work

the switches themselves just have the magnets for the pcb to detect

[muted fossil]

hm not good

so only wooting makes the compatible pcbs

[quiet bay]

do you not like their keyboards because of the mounting style or smth?

[uneven cradle]

The 60he pcb is compatible with quite a few aftermarket cases

[dry obsidian]

My wooting 60he+, frog mini, and black glossy Kam blanks 😄

[fluid ravine]

few xd

[dry obsidian]

There’s a powder coating shop 4 miles from me, I was thinking of matching the case in gloss black, what do you think? I could also do regular black or keep it silver

[quiet bay]

oo clean, never saw fully glossy keycaps other than ceramics 🤔

[fluid ravine]

The 60he is compatible with the 60% universal layout*

[dry obsidian]

They actually feel really nice on the fingers, although they get dirty easily. I was more impressed seeing them in person!

[quiet bay]

yeah really clean looking keycap profile ngl

[muted fossil]

ehm just posted a thingy in feedback lol, i loved the 60HE (but dont want a 60% keyb myself) got it in my hands a few times cuz a friend got it.

its not a good keyboard, plastic, bad keycaps, blablabla, but the switches, stabalizers and even foaming made up for it. i loved the personality with the yellow accents and the strap.

80HE is more like my formfactor, but it's such a bad design, bad alignment, no personality, ..

[dapper tartan]

I ordered the 80HE, and sticky rice switches. Hear a lot of different things about those switches. Anyone here with an opinion?

[uneven cradle]

Have issues not recommended

Inconsistent magnet strength overloads the sensor

[quiet bay]

I mean you can always just make it into your own preference

switch out case, switch out keycaps

maybe even do something custom

[muted fossil]

still, the alignment makes me mad, like why is the top ledge so much bigger, why are the arrow keys aligned that way,... i wanted to support wooting cuz i loved the innovative company from my neighbor country, who had the balls to make a keyboard like the 60HE, but i guess im not going with wooting after all

[dapper tartan]

What would happen then? Would those switches not work at all, or not as good?

[quiet bay]

pretty sure it has a bigger forehead for some particular reason but i forgot what

the arrow keys used to be aligned with the mode key but community voted for it to be aligned with the keys on the side

it's pretty similar to the mammoth75 layout

[polar girder]

Sick keycaps. Great combo

[quiet bay]

wait holdup i forgot to ask...where that sound test at? 👀

[uneven cradle]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[dry obsidian]

Thx!

[dry obsidian]

I can only record on my iPhone and it will probably sound bad, but I’ll do a sound test in a few mins 😄

[quiet bay]

np I just wanna hear it

i always record sound tests with my iphone anyway...

[uneven cradle]

Could try the Venom HE TKL pcb if you want a custom TKL with HE

[dapper tartan]

Thanks, I tried searching for something like this in chat but too many people used the words sticky rice. Would I not be fine if i just used the good switches for the keys i use for gaming, and the lesser switches just for keys I just use for typing?

[uneven cradle]

They may have fixed the issues in newer batches but I don't think any of us have tested and verified that

[stone flax]

vendor servers, mechkeys

come to mind

[quiet bay]

I would love to try a topre keyboard but why tf are HHKBs all 200+ USD on amazon

[uneven cradle]

Because topre

[stone flax]

get a used hhkb

more better

[dapper tartan]

I guess I'll find out in a couple of months then, when everything has arrived. Will of course update on it if I find out anything!

[muted fossil]

thanks

[quiet bay]

ok will keep this in mind for the future

I completely forgot Geon made his own HE board

[muted fossil]

is HE analog? or what does HE stand for?

[quiet bay]

Hall effect

[dry obsidian]

@quiet bay geon raw he switches, no case foam, thin pcb foam, I believe 90a tadpoles

[muted fossil]

oh thanks im stupid, like you have membrane, mechanic, and hall effect being analog right?

[uneven cradle]

Hall effect, so the switches have magnets inside them and the pcb has sensors to get an analogue input from each switch depending on how close they are

[quiet bay]

ye

[muted fossil]

okokokok

[quiet bay]

a lil bit pingy but those keycaps are hawt

[muted fossil]

that will help me a lot on my journey to make a custom HE keyboard

[polar girder]

Needs force break mod???

[uneven cradle]

Recommend probably joining the Geon discord if you wanted to ask mote questions about the venom pcb

[dry obsidian]

Yup, I’m gonna try to quiet it down this weekend, I got some case foam and some squishier tadpoles

[dry obsidian]

It’s a tadpole mount board, so the pcb and plate are on gaskets essentially

[polar girder]

I’m familiar. I have it.

[muted fossil]

what about software on a custom HE keyboard? cuz ive read that qmk doesnt work very good

[polar girder]

But I just learned about force break mod today

Lolz

[dry obsidian]

Oh, how would I do that?

[polar girder]

Bro just put tape everywhere lol idk

[dry obsidian]

Oh lol

[polar girder]

Not my pic

[dry obsidian]

What does that do? Dampening?

[quiet bay]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kmy01pFuyI

reduces pinging

[stone flax]

not justt everywhere

there is rhyme and reason

[muted fossil]

whats so different between foaming and tape?

[stone flax]

in what manner?

[muted fossil]

like if i foamed my keyboard will tape do much? or what are the advantages of tape vs foam? should i use both?

just seeking knowledge / advice

[quiet bay]

both modify the sound of the keyboard

it's really up to you how you use or combine them to achieve the sound you like

[spice portal]

https://gmkkeycap.com/product/172-keys-gmk-rome-cherry-profile-double-shot-pbt-keycaps/
are these compatible with wooting? reviews are totally fake btw

[quiet bay]

foam dampens up the keyboard

I feel like tape mod does make it louder

maybe gives it a pop

well ig depends what tape u use

I use moleskin tape and it dampens my keyboard more ngl lol

[stone flax]

keycaps are fake in general

just dont buy it lol

[spice portal]

[quiet bay]

well more like

the pbt version of them

[stone flax]

im talking about those keycaps

low quality

scam

[muted fossil]

oh so the foaming lessens the sound mostly, and tape changes the pinging to a deeper sound

[spice portal]

what's a good site for actually decent keycaps?

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/check-the-pins-kowalski-penguin-gif-20219688

[muted fossil]

idk i got mine from candykeys

[quiet bay]

I summon you thackson

u know more about sound than me 😂

[stone flax]

tape mod is literally so wack, depends on board and depends on the ears atp

[dry obsidian]

going by his reasoning, this should work. however, i had the same exact pinginess in my tofu60 on the same keys, which has a one piece metal case. so im unsure it will do anything because i dont think the pinging is coming from the top and bottom case hitting each other. i could be wrong

[stone flax]

like evgen looking at lucids interpretation of it

like tf

😭

[quiet bay]

honestly just depends on what you have in general that could be causing that pinging

pingy spings? 🤔

metal plate

[fluid ravine]

Foam is like a sound acoustic foam, depending on material and thickness and how much you use, all can vary to different results. Tape mod is putting tape on the bottom of the PCB allowing the board to have a "poppier" or louder sound. Tape mod is like a filter where it will decrease high frequencies while returning lows and mids which makes it louder, which is also hence why they say it has a deeper sound).

[quiet bay]

no foam, etc

[fluid ravine]

Personally, I dont enjoy it on the Wooting

[daring valve]

You’re using the poron plate foam? Stock stabs?

[fluid ravine]

Sounds weird to me, esp since now

[stone flax]

ngl i just go with the idea that it pushes towards the mids

[fluid ravine]

I'd say that for the PE foam instead of the Tape mod

[stone flax]

but ive never liked it any board i tried it on

[dry obsidian]

only pcb foam, alu plate, i forgot what stabs

[stone flax]

nah pe just throughout the board makes things louder

[muted fossil]

whens the next wooting keyboard coming i want wooting i want wooting

[fluid ravine]

PE foam does acentuate the mids on all type of sounding boards

[quiet bay]

anyways gonna take a screenie of this

[stone flax]

and """"creamy""""""

[daring valve]

I should have my whole setup now. I’ll build it tomorrow. Salvation + Wooting Module + Geon Raw HE switches.

[stone flax]

i hate pe foam tbf

[fluid ravine]

I mean PE foam and Tape Mod do have similar effects

[stone flax]

its pretty redundant

ive seen people do pe foam + switch pads + tape mod

[fluid ravine]

Yeah its a sound modifier, i prefer things to sound natural, so i can agree you on there

[stone flax]

and im just like...

why????

[fluid ravine]

lol

[fluid ravine]

LOL

[cold bloom]

that's dope, mines a headset cable but this looks nice

[fluid ravine]

couldve done better trust

[cold bloom]

oh wait you did that @vital thorn

lol

[muted fossil]

is there any other youtube videos on the 80HE out yet? cant find anything other than wooting themselves and i want to convince myself to preorder one

[cold bloom]

that's sick

love that

[quiet bay]

another pretty wooting soon to be born

[polar girder]

Buy it. Video without. Put it on. Video with. Compare two videos.

[stone flax]

you wouldnt find the 80he in someone else possesion atp

heehee

[polar girder]

For every mod ever

[daring valve]

Soon.

[stone flax]

lets run a poll

[fluid ravine]

They havent sent them out yet unfortunately (correct me if im wrong 80he buyers)

[daring valve]

Have the stock PC plate

[stone flax]

who actually enjoys pe foams effect on sound

[daring valve]

And I guess I’ll use the stock stabs.

[polar girder]

Tape mod is trash

[daring valve]

I had no idea they were PCB screw ins.

[polar girder]

https://tenor.com/view/disrespect-me-personally-level-gif-25738659

[daring valve]

I thought wooting used plate mount stabs.

[fluid ravine]

eh

not me

[quiet bay]

😔

[daring valve]

Amen.

[muted fossil]

hasnt it been like half a year? and no the preorder says it will be in their stock approx november this year, but i would expect some content creators have them already idk

[polar girder]

On pre assembled yes. Screw in on module

[fluid ravine]

i tried it and well it works yeah but i prefer with out it. But the only thing i enjoy is that it made my spacebar sound like a squeaky clown mallet

very much enjoyed that

but otherwise, no

[daring valve]

Where can I find a list of PCB stabs that are compatible?

Or are there none?

[stone flax]

?

[fluid ravine]

You should watch some of the 80HE updates on Wooting's YT

[cold bloom]

the thread above this one

[fluid ravine]

It's pretty reasonable why they havent sent them out yet

[muted fossil]

already watched a lot of them lol

[daring valve]

Bless you lol.

[quiet bay]

ngl I haven't heard my wooting without tape mod in a bit...

ima take it off rq

[muted fossil]

yeah ive seen they had some issues that only recently have been solved

[cold bloom]

I think those recs are for the 60HE, but should be similar

a few had some issues with fitting the 60HE plates with pcb mounted stabs like tx stabs, but cherry clip ins (my fave) should work with both

[fluid ravine]

imagine it sounds better

that'd be hilarious

[muted fossil]

i just want the strap on the 80HE guys 😞

[stone flax]

the best sounding wooting needs no foam

or other adulterants

[fluid ravine]

High quality shit is the move

[muted fossil]

possible i cant preorder the 80HE zinc alloy RAW yet?

[uneven cradle]

Only with the module

[quiet bay]

what in the deep clack

[muted fossil]

not at all ? just look at the spacing around the arrow keys

[quiet bay]

only difference is the knob and exploded arrow keys

[muted fossil]

well yeah i dont care about the knob, and theres a lot of keyboard with that 75%-ish layout, but its not "similar" its a completely different design. those arrow keys make the entire keyboard more ugly imo

any testers for the switches out yet? am not sure between the 45 and the 60

[fluid ravine]

Just how I imagined it

Both sound good to me

[quiet bay]

i like the spacebar

that's it ngl

[uneven cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/yeah-well-thats-just-like-opinion-gif-18505939

[stone flax]

its literally just bottom out weights

[fluid ravine]

Which one you like then

[muted fossil]

okay? i dont know how they will feel man theyre not mechanical switches soo

[stone flax]

?

[uneven cradle]

I was replying to Vandy just took too long to post

[fluid ravine]

Lol

Oh shi mb

I was eating just check my phone

[daring valve]

I wanted to try the new TX AP top clip in stabs with my build, but I’m unsure if they’re compatible with the plate it seems.

I might just have to clip the clip ins.

[stone flax]

wait what?

[silver ingot]

Top clip ins don't look like they add much to the height at all

They literally just came out so nobody knows methinks

[daring valve]

Just released on Divinikey

Looks like I would just need to clip them.

[stone flax]

but like why tho

[silver ingot]

People already thinking of mods for thing they never tried lmaooo

[daring valve]

I wanted to try them. I saw them teased by kin25 on instagram.

I guess I’ll get them, try them, and then go from there. I can put them in my January if they don’t work out.

[paper bloom]

You could try swagkeys knights or the c=3 ones

and TX Ap stuff is mostly cuz of the QC issue

[daring valve]

QC issues?

[paper bloom]

Quality control

issue

[daring valve]

Right

But

[paper bloom]

Cuz u cld get bad luck stuff

[daring valve]

Is there a known QC issue?

[paper bloom]

The screw ines

from what ik

[daring valve]

Gotcha

[paper bloom]

theres a 50-50

in those

The plate mounts

i think shld fit?

but not on the alu plate

or the PC plate that wooting has

[daring valve]

I just received the module

So have the pc plate

[paper bloom]

WELP you can try those but i doubt itd work cuz ive seen people having to use a razor

to literally cut off the side of their board to just fit it in

[daring valve]

Oh wow.

[paper bloom]

this part is what ive heard

I am 100% unsure if TX AP will fit or not so

Keep that in mind

MAYBE?

I'll let cafe correct me

[daring valve]

For the plate stabs?

[paper bloom]

wait lemme think is it even plate wait nvm its screw ins

Plate mount shld work

[stone flax]

lowkey why people doing all this thinking just dont get tx ap

they suck in general

[cyan zodiac]

@calm pulsar with our frog he Alu tx ap plate mount stabs work fine

[paper bloom]

Either way tho u shld just not use TX ap to play it safe until you get a custom plate

ig

[stone flax]

why are raws so good

[polar girder]

lol I used tx ap on a custom plate and it didn’t work

[paper bloom]

LOL RIP

[cyan zodiac]

Our plate work fine with ap plate

[fluid ravine]

yeah plate mounts work fine

[stone flax]

Why we need platemounts tho

Btw

[daring valve]

I don’t.

[cyan zodiac]

People be saying tx ap plate mount stabs don't work

[fluid ravine]

no it does

[harsh dove]

Weird, it's the PCB mount version that has issues fitting wooting plates, not plate mount.

[fluid ravine]

works fine, just dont use thick keycaps like PBT with 1.5mm or wtv

Yeah

Plate mount's has a thickness of 6.5mm

but the pcb mounted ver are 6.75mm

[cyan zodiac]

I'll test

[fluid ravine]

Staebies and TX AP clip ins arent a guarantee fit in the wooting plate

[stone flax]

so lets get some better stabs in lowkey

[fluid ravine]

MX RAWS?

or HE RAWS

[stone flax]

he

[fluid ravine]

oh damn

yea sounds good

[stone flax]

sounds close to mx atp

omg

[harsh dove]

Yeah, I've tested it before and got them to work fine but it does bend the Wooting PC plate a little, and other users had issues getting them to return.

[fluid ravine]

bit disappointed in mine but its just the plate

[stone flax]

#nofoam

[fluid ravine]

so can't do much atm

[fluid ravine]

i only use polyfill

dont got any plate foam or all that

[daring valve]

Then what are the recommended third party stabs for a 60HE module?

[fluid ravine]

just case foam

[fluid ravine]

I'd say cherry clip ins and Swagkey Knights for screw ins

CAM got recommendation

but i forgor

mostly knight stabs

[daring valve]

Are you all using long pole stabs with raw he switches?

[stone flax]

i wont be

[fluid ravine]

No

Don't need

[harsh dove]

The Stock Wooting stabs are fine if you tune/lube them, if you want or need a set of stabs then Cherry Clip Ins, Swagkeys Knights Screw Ins, Durocks V3, and Gateron Stabs are all good and should be compatible with Wooting plates.

[daring valve]

Cool cool.

[stone flax]

@harsh dove stupid/maiz/paigu stabs work?

or nah

[fluid ravine]

Stupid works

[harsh dove]

I've used WS Stupid, they work

[fluid ravine]

which is pretty stupid

[stone flax]

theyre the same thing

[fluid ravine]

@harsh dove What plate are you using for your Tofu Build?

[harsh dove]

Alu rn

[fluid ravine]

Wooting right?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[fluid ravine]

o oka

oh right the pink looking Alu plate?

I thought that was a MX build xd

[cyan zodiac]

yeah for our plate it is tight but no returning issues

[pulsar schooner]

Hmmm, is it worth just waiting for a restock on the Swagkeys knights in black or just get the clears?

[cyan zodiac]

You don't see the stabs when you have keycaps on

[fluid ravine]

Well atleast it works

I need to retune mine again, shi

[quiet bay]

i refuse to retune mine 😩

I will stick with a terrible enter key

[fluid ravine]

just tune the enter key

add frigin lube to it damnit

[quiet bay]

it's the wire

[fluid ravine]

out of all the stabs, your enter key

[quiet bay]

nuh uh, spacebar matters the most!

[fluid ravine]

NO

all of them >:(

[quiet bay]

(except right shift)

ironically right shift is the best sounding one LMAO

in my board

[fluid ravine]

lemme guess

right shift>spacebar>left shift>backspace>enter

[quiet bay]

right shift>spacebar>backspace>left shift>enter

[cyan zodiac]

So when you type a message and want to send you get pain?

[quiet bay]

it's okay i only have to do it once per message

spacebar matters most 😤

I was thinking of looking at geon's stabilizer wire so that i dont do it myself but err...

[fluid ravine]

what da flip

atleast get the RAWS with it 😂

[quiet bay]

naw i refuse to pay shipping 😭

[fluid ravine]

LOL

get it in 2 days trustttt

[quiet bay]

naww I can wait

got free shipping for my Hexas

cause the other option was like 30 dollars LMAO

[stone flax]

it aint worth it

wtf

😭

[loud zephyr]

bro, that's like buying a slab of beer

[fluid ravine]

[zenith elk]

[uneven cradle]

Australian beer prices are mad too

Could buy way more beer in NZD

[loud zephyr]

yeah, glad I don't really drink beer unless it's on tap; shit taste like ass out of bottles or cans

[uneven cradle]

A lot of breweries around me, I don't really drink anymore but when I do it's mainly craft beers

Those aren't so cheap

[cyan zodiac]

You order our Alu plate already

[uneven cradle]

I thought John was sending a free one

[loud zephyr]

Just about every afl player is involved in craft beer, there's so many here, can't think of a worse investment

[pulsar schooner]

Welp ordered knight stabs to go with my knight switches. Are there any knight keycap sets? lol

[uneven cradle]

Gotta do something when your target audience is bogans

[loud zephyr]

[stone flax]

????

😭

[paper bloom]

There shld b some

[cyan zodiac]

I checking if they sent one already

[pulsar schooner]

Why the crying face? lol

[stone flax]

Knight keycaps

[pulsar schooner]

Again, not getting what you mean

[uneven cradle]

https://drop.com/buy/domikey-knight-sa-doubleshot-keycap-set?defaultSelectionIds=957386#imagecarousel

Time to complete the set

[fluid ravine]

wut duh haillll

[flat cobalt]

Where's the Alter set at

[pulsar schooner]

abs tho

[pulsar schooner]

Kprepublic looks like they have all the different sets available

[flat cobalt]

Ohhhhhhh nice

[spice plover]

abs is better than pbt

clacking goes way harder

[pulsar schooner]

Highly debatable

[stone flax]

everything in a preference based hobby is debatable

[fluid ravine]

Subjective

[spice plover]

🙂

bro im so tired

from building the tofu and salvation

[fluid ravine]

imagine

[spice plover]

not even joking

i think

i did everything wrong

and now i learned everything

gg

[fluid ravine]

whatchu do

[spice plover]

hmmm

lets see

[fluid ravine]

damn bro cooking his mistakes

[spice plover]

unscrewed stabs for no reason and struggled figuring out how to put the PCB , plate, and silicone pad back together with the stabs on and off or w.e. // my brother broke one stab somehow had to remake and relub the stabs properly. o and we only found out it was "broken" after putting everything together and all switches and keys in until the ENTER key had that problem stab so had to restart there.

[fluid ravine]

oh damn, so yall fked up a stabilizer?

[spice plover]

kinda not really i mean i fixed it

like yeh it got messed up but its fixed now

and that took me like 45 minutes

to figure out how stabs work and how they are suppose to be put into it

also my brother had my old HE so he had clip in stabs , i have + so screw in stabs

so its a bit different

[fluid ravine]

you mean plate mounts?

[spice plover]

yeh that one

also the O ring i couldnt get it on the 60HE with the tofu + silicon and PC plate

i think i would have to cut off 2 of the stand offs or w.e they are called to get it to fit in the case so i just left it out

i have a FR4 plate i was trying to put together too but i couldnt find the stand offs for it for the O ring mod

i think thats mostly it

and after i put it back together for the last time and started cleaning up i found the stand offs for the FR4 plate

[fluid ravine]

Ok 2 things, you can't gummy mount a O'ring with Screw in Stabilizers (although you could possibly can with a Graveshift S O'ring but it's recommended to use clip ins with a normal size O'ring for 60%). And the main modifiers not allowing the O'ring to fit in is the Backspace and Spacebar, so you would need to change those to Clip ins or plate mounts.

Another thing is that silicone is too firm to be compressed on the outer edge for the O'ring to fit between the PCB and plate. You would need to cut up the outer edge for it to be compatible if you want to use it.

[spice plover]

Like I don’t need the fr4 plate to make the o ring work ?

So instead of silicone just regular foam that comes with the pc plate ?

[vapid zephyr]

cut and dyed a leather strap

[fluid ravine]

It doesn't really matter what the material is, it just depends if you can get the O'ring to fit and compress between the PCB and plate.

[fluid ravine]

The O'ring can fit with the poron plate foam but it's pretty snug tight so it may be a bit hard to put in and take out. Using nothing works the best. Silicone can be used only if you want to snip the outer edge of the pad like I've shown (you can also do this in the poron plate foam to make the mounting easier to put in and take out(

[spice plover]

ty bro really appprecaite it

[fluid ravine]

Yup

[stone flax]

its not plate dependent

Gummy o rings dont play well in most instances with screwins

[spice plover]

i love both of these cases

[stone flax]

but there are instances that stop that

[spice plover]

awesome cases fr

@fluid ravine so basically if i take it all apart again. I would just screw in the PCB with the PC plate/ put it back together and O ring it?

[fluid ravine]

Why would you wanna take it apart again?

I mean yeah sure

[spice plover]

i mean like not now cause its so late

and im tired af

i already put his back together

[spice plover]

ty bro ill do it tomorrow

i just reread everything and actually understand it all

ty guys for the help

@fluid ravine @stone flax do you think if I did that graveshift oring inside of my own Salvation build it would ardd or make it worse regarding bounce?

[stone flax]

have u tried just building it with the leaf springs

and not trying a gummy oring

[spice plover]

haa lol yeh

ofc

its how it is now for me

[stone flax]

oh ic

[spice plover]

i only wanted to use the O-ring on my brothers tofu

not gonna lie his tofu sounds amazing

[fluid ravine]

I wouldn't say worst but I wouldn't use friction mount in a salvation

Defeats the whole purpose of the case

[spice plover]

I need to figure out how to make it bounce a bit more

[fluid ravine]

Idk if you know this but a tip for salvation users is that you can adjust the sound of the board depending on how tight you screwed in the screw depending on rotation

So I would definitely experiment on that when you have the time

[spice plover]

Which screws ?

[fluid ravine]

You could try a lil bit of poly fill

[fluid ravine]

The ones you use to screw the module into the case

The mounting screws

[spice plover]

That’s easy I can even do that now

[fluid ravine]

Alr ima go to sleep, idk why I'm still up on a school night

[spice plover]

Can I ask you guys for help tomorrow I can share screen to make this into a trampoline ?

[idle cape]

Will most keycaps work with the wooting? I’m looking to get a set, but don’t know what’s compatible

[light agate]

as long as it has an mx style stem, basically any keycap set will work! (the stem that looks like +)

the only issue could be that maybe a keycap set is a little too tight or loose, but those are easy fixes tbh

[twin magnet]

Did you guys see this? Looks like TTC has come out with their own magnetic switches too.

[tired frigate]

Lol

They are so expensive

[calm pulsar]

yeah they dont seem that appealing cause of the price and they sound kinda too bright

[twin magnet]

Yeah exactly and that too kinda late to the game. I personally am building my board now with the geon raws. Man, these switches are so well made!

[calm pulsar]

yeah mine are also on the way, can't wait

[twin magnet]

I'll post mine once it's done. Good choice!

[late quest]

Do I need to lube my 60he+ as soon as I receive it?

[left depot]

they come pre-lubed

[late quest]

After how long do I lube it then?

[calm pulsar]

https://youtu.be/WN_-GYLTfpY

[tired frigate]

Yeah divinekey said in like 2 weeks they will restock

On the raws

Gonna pick some up once they are available

[elfin garnet]

Took some of the Raws apart yesterday. The RGB window plastic just fell off on some of them. Dno if I broke them or if they just sit loose unless the switch is closed

[stark osprey]

They just sit loose

[glacial wind]

nah that's normal, you can add/remove that plastic window diffuser

they're not attached, just sit in there

[stark osprey]

Yeah, easiest way for me is just to sit them on the bottom housing when reassembling.

[lone plume]

anyone using polyfill for the two he or even using break tape mod?

[hollow terrace]

Can someone explain me the difference between Lekker and Raesha, other than compatability?
People say Lekker is better, but haven't been able to explain why.

[elfin garnet]

ait. I was looking for break off points or something but couldn't see any so that's what I though. Thank you for confirming

[glacial wind]

man finally. Trying to get hands on these longpole versions in korea is a nightmare

[elfin garnet]

What does it mean when it says "Unreinforced"?

[glacial wind]

unreinforced is just the normal pcb stab

they restocked long pole version and it legitimately sold out in 10 seconds

[neon tiger]

whats this

[glacial wind]

knight v2 long pole stabs

[neon tiger]

are they good

[glacial wind]

they're one of the best pcb mounted stock stabs

just grabbing spare stabs for 80he/future builds

[neon tiger]

oh wow

you have to change your stabs ?

[prime orbit]

Still paying crazy for shipping so I’m wondering why the AliExpress is 6-14 days and the official store is 1-3

[neon tiger]

where do you buy them from. i did not know you can change your stabs

[glacial wind]

nah you don't, i just like these stabs so I'll use them on 80he

it's just a preference thing

[neon tiger]

do thye improve sound ?

i will be modding both my keyboards

[glacial wind]

not really. You can make the stock wooting stabs sound good too

[neon tiger]

stabs are stabilizers right ?

[glacial wind]

yeah

[neon tiger]

dayum ok

what are the best stabs for 60 and 80 ?

any idea ?

[glacial wind]

60 is different from 80 because the screw in holes on the 60he+ don't fit all stabs

[neon tiger]

oh

[glacial wind]

i wouldn't change stabs unless you have a problem with your current stabs

it's like changing tires on your car for literally no reason if your current tires are already good

[neon tiger]

oh fr ?

ok i will keep the stock one then, thank u friend

but why u getting a new pair of tires then ? modding it completely ? changing your keyboard ?

[prime orbit]

W aliexpress

[glacial wind]

I just wanted some long pole stabs just in case and they're my go-to stabs for other keyboards normally

[prime orbit]

What’s the quality on these?

[tawdry tree]

XVX double shot quality is below mid, idk about their dye sub tho

[flat cobalt]

I got new stabs cause I wanted a different color

[dire delta]

Im really confused
My Gateron Jades do activate even though I have set the actuation to 4.0mm
These switches can only travek 3.5mm
How?

[prime orbit]

damn should i return

$30

[calm pulsar]

there can always be some margin of error, and it also depends on how sensitive the sensors are on a specific firmware

[dire delta]

Doesn't the wooting have an auto calibration mode?

[calm pulsar]

should have, yes
question is, what is the use case of not actuating the switch at 4.0mm 😄

[glacial wind]

think of 0-4mm as more of a percentage bar than actual numbers

that's how the calibration works out anyhow

then in wootility 5 at some point they're adding in switch selection too to make it easier

[dire delta]

So 4mm is 100% which means bottom out

[glacial wind]

yeah

[dire delta]

Aight thank you🫶

[tawdry tree]

no clue on quality of those. Just check when you get them

[prime orbit]

What should i look for?

[tawdry tree]

If the quality is good, how they feel and how they look.

If you don’t like them you can return them

[prime orbit]

Well idk what good quality is

like smooth?

[rich phoenix]

Ngl the gateron jades always confused me. Are they just the KS20 with better tolerances?

[glacial wind]

they're totally different switches. Tighter stem, 3.5mm travel instead of 4mm, closed bottom so the sound is better

[rich phoenix]

Ah i see. So the Lekkers are essentally Wootings OEMed KS20 with slight variences depending on V1,V1.5, and V2. Jades are a completely separate thing.

[glacial wind]

yeah lekker v2 are basically much better ks20 with better tightness and magnets

and jades are a totally different thing

[neon tiger]

oh what does long pole mean haha

[neon tiger]

ohhh

[glacial wind]

long pole means designed for switches that are roughly 3.5mm travel or shorter

eg gateron jades, raw he etc.

[neon tiger]

how do i know my switches travel

oh shit fr ? i am changing to raw he. means i need long pole already ....

[glacial wind]

if you have standard wooting switches it's 4mm, not long pole

[glacial wind]

you don't have to have long pole for long pole switches. It's just rarely you might run into a wobble issue if your keycaps are loose (particularly space bar)

for 9/10 people though they never notice this ever happen

basically don't worry about it unless you actually have an issue

[hollow tapir]

i got new keycaps (osa profile) for my 2he, but with them installed the spacebar has a "click/rattle" to it, does someone have tips as to lubing/trimming/whatevering the stabilizers to get rid of that

[barren wasp]

where can i buy a wooden case for 60he?

[glacial wind]

search etsy for gh60 wood case

there's definitely a bunch there

[barren wasp]

what does gh represent?

[rapid tiger]

Will the lekker v2 be compatible with wooting 60he?

[austere creek]

yes

[glacial wind]

it's the mounting standard that a lot of 60% tray mounts use

including wooting

[crimson sky]

geekhack

[glacial wind]

oh he meant like actually represent lol

[crimson sky]

the gh60 was an open source design for PCBs and cases where the measurements were taken from

(though said measurements were originally from the poker keyboards)

[pallid pier]

what do u guys think about the gmk samurai keycaps? Are they overated?

cause im thinking about buying some

[untold wigeon]

Hey guys before I order, what are my options for PC plate?

[polar girder]

Like vendor options?

Wooting or hype?

Swagkeys has more of those PBS blanks on 33% off by the way

[untold wigeon]

Like who makes them and where can I get them

[calm pulsar]

the wooting one would be the least hassle
but yeah other options are hypekeyboards, kbdfans, aliexpress

[untold wigeon]

Ok I just wanted to be sure. Thanks guys

[calm pulsar]

excited for contest winners to be announced on wooting stream

[tawdry tree]

Jade Pro render has a KS-20U top housing (sort of). Perhaps Jade Pro is just a dual rail Jade?

[calm pulsar]

the emerald housing is kinda cute, not sure if tolerances are going to be any different

[tawdry tree]

Surely “Pro” will be an improvement right? 😬

[flat cobalt]

Hmmmm the top housing looks cool

[prime orbit]

Black Knights on top

[untold wigeon]

[tawdry tree]

Purple one is the silent one, seems to be compatible.

[exotic inlet]

[tawdry tree]

Yeah

[calm pulsar]

ohh full xray jade max?

[tawdry tree]

Looks like it, yeah!

[untold wigeon]

[tawdry tree]

No, some people on twitter are

😂

Interesting, the silent one is basically a Zero Degree

Silent + Dual Rail.

[stone flax]

ok so other than dual rail

whats up with pros

cuz max got rgb with it

no way they just made jade n minis but took months longer right?

[tawdry tree]

Pros don’t say anything about Dual Rails but I assume they will be.

“special core formula”

[stone flax]

looking like none of these will be full travel

i sleep

😴

[tawdry tree]

Surely not.

[tawdry tree]

The silent ones will be I think.

[pulsar schooner]

But what will the travel be… plz be 4.0mm

[devout torrent]

is it only silenced on upstroke?

[tawdry tree]

Up and down

[devout torrent]

ah nice

[tawdry tree]

You can see the silicone inserts

[tawdry tree]

You can’t.

Surely it’s up and down?

I hate that they’re dual rail

no combinations with that.

[cyan zodiac]

dam you so clouted

remember me yeah

[calm pulsar]

haha, well next contest will be rocking the frog from yall😎

[cyan zodiac]

[calm pulsar]

the jade pros look exactly like usual jades, curious to see what can be improved in them

I guess dual rail, but it would be cool if tolerances improve to be on par with geon raws

[tawdry tree]

I guess we’ll see soon enough

If it’s just Dual Rails it’d be quite the disappointment tbh
