Jus playin

[paper bloom]

Dude that shit was a mad steal

[harsh dove]

Nah that’s sweet tho

[paper bloom]

Cuz there was an august sale

I would've had to fork out 50 but thank fucking god i only needed to pay 37

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s real good

[paper bloom]

Ye lmaoo

And ever since i got it the pinging from my space bar and shift apart from my spacebar has stopped

[polar girder]

Ordered that Nylon plate lol

[harsh dove]

The grey?

[polar girder]

Might just spray paint it

Yeah

Tired of waiting. He might never have black again lol

And he’s going kinda custom and filling in some openings

Pretty HYPE

[spice plover]

That’s such a sweet deal

[paper bloom]

IT IS LMAO

[placid blaze]

Technical question, but outside of the fact that the hardware doesn't exist is there any reason that Wooting PCBs wouldn't be able to handle pseudo low profile switches?

The low profile jades have different housings ofc but provided they had bottom housings compatible with Wooting PCBs is there any reason they wouldn't work with Wooting's standards?

[paper bloom]

First of all is that the magnets from the low profile

are not low enough to reach the PCB

Considering most low profile stuff are 1.2shims

[drifting bronze]

Does the brass case for the uwu make it more quiet?

[paper bloom]

And 2nd of the all the magnets differ as because low profile has different ways to make it strong or weaker but looking into low profile shld be weaker

[placid blaze]

Interesting, thanks for clarifying

[paper bloom]

Cuz it wont reach down so no way

[placid blaze]

I was curious because HE switches seem to have a lot of potential for diversity/variety in switches rather than needing lots of different standards

at least as far as I understand, if the switches are specced differently then fair enough

[paper bloom]

Its not about the standards most of the time it depends on which board youre modding and what type of keyboard are you going after

[placid blaze]

ofc

I'd bloody love to be able to use the same pcb and swap in LP switches though

[paper bloom]

BUT if you plan to get a switch id recommend the RAW HE

Either the 50 or the 45

60 is a bit risky for some who dont wanna loose some speed

Due to the rebound

[placid blaze]

I'm using jades right now, gonna wait for the new stuff to come through tbh

[paper bloom]

And the stiffness

Im happy with my RAW's as it is

I'll swap over to lighter once i am back from my IRL shit in 2 yrs

[ionic breach]

bro is contractually obligated to capitalise RAW HE every time

[placid blaze]

I want something silent tbh, I feel like endgame for me has always been less noise rather than nice noise

how are the raw HE tolerances though, is the 0 wobble legit?

[paper bloom]

Gotta do that else people wont be seeing it

[ionic breach]

[paper bloom]

its a 1.2 wobble compared to others

[tawdry tree]

If there will be a low profile magnetic switch with a centered magnet, then yes. All you’d have to do is change the plate/stand offs so they’re closer to the PCB.

[paper bloom]

ITS WAY tighter than jades

100%

Idk about the Lekker v2

[ionic breach]

as for noise

[paper bloom]

Noise it sounds like jades

[ionic breach]

idk abt silent

[paper bloom]

It wont be as silent

Its clacky and thocky at the same time esp if u bottom out

[placid blaze]

I don't think there's a market for it as Wooting has picked up a lot of the gamer crowd, but it's so cool knowing our PCBs have that potential tbh

[paper bloom]

But it depends on the strength you put into it

BUT its mostly jades sound profile

[tawdry tree]

I can see it happening, definitely.

[ionic breach]

i mean a few already asked

[placid blaze]

Imagine swapping plates out for a LP set when you're moving around, it'd be super cool

I wonder if there's a world for >4mm travel switches too, I'd imagine that's harder though

[placid blaze]

Sadly not the same as making it to prod 😕 I could see it being marketed as making it easier to rappy snappy or something though

[ionic breach]

oh nah

just buy switches and keycaps (low profile) and wooting module

and hotswap them urself

[polar girder]

Oh that’s cool

[tawdry tree]

Definitely, the shorter the travel, the faster you can spam the whole travel distance if that makes sense. I think there would be a market for it.

[polar girder]

The LP idea

LP switches with SA keycaps lolzzz

[tawdry tree]

That’s crazy

lmao

[polar girder]

With that new PBS profile would go ham tho

I like that idea

[ionic breach]

">"

not "<"

[polar girder]

LP switch, 35g spring and some PBS keycaps

[placid blaze]

I feel like there'd be a good market for 5 or 6mm switches for people that like gamepad controls on their kb

[tawdry tree]

Explain yourself more!

[placid blaze]

not sure if pcb would calibrate to that though

[drifting bronze]

Does anyone know how i make my uwu more quiet?

[ionic breach]

he means more than 4

not less than 4

[placid blaze]

Yeah, I think <4mm is great for sort of practicality but full sized switches feel so much nicer to type on tbh

[tawdry tree]

In context, it doesn’t make sense. Did he mean more?

[ionic breach]

yes'

for more control

[ionic breach]

like here

[placid blaze]

🙇‍♂️

[tawdry tree]

Oh!

Oh.

[placid blaze]

You're still right with what you said @tawdry tree , lower travel switches would also be good

and a lot more marketable I'd imagine

[ionic breach]

infact

a very popular option is the jades

which is 3.5mm

[tawdry tree]

I don’t know about a 5-6mm switch though.

[placid blaze]

2mm jades when

[tawdry tree]

Wouldn’t be compatible with any keycaps either afaik.

[ionic breach]

i think they just did

announce a low profile jade

[tawdry tree]

For Woot!

[placid blaze]

not for our pcbs though I don't think

[ionic breach]

havent tested

[placid blaze]

or am I wrong

[tawdry tree]

It physically doesn’t fit in Woot’s PCBs.

Needs a hole and the magnet is offset.

[placid blaze]

true, there are mx to choc stem adapters but it is added height

[ionic breach]

maybe

[placid blaze]

Wooting has the power to unify full size and low profile keyboard standards

kind of nuts

when they release the ortholinear 40%, the timeline will be fixed

[polar girder]

https://drop.com/buy/terra-keycaps-seigaiha-artisan-keycap-set

Whoa

Neat

[thorn zealot]

The wifi symbol keycaps

[ionic breach]

-10% Latency
+10 style

[thorn zealot]

The key cap has more bars than my pc at home

[spice plover]

Yeah 4mm actuation feels really good for sure personally think that’s the only issue with Raw HEs is they are only 3.4 feels noticeably shorter

[polar girder]

Yeah

Common Raw L

[elfin garnet]

Looking good G

[polar girder]

Word, my guy. Thanks for the encouragement lol

Just need those god damn black swag knight stabs

And the BoB PBS and I’m chilling until Cosmos drops

[elfin garnet]

Yup, then you're set

[polar girder]

Not me realizing this is my 5th plate for Wooting 60HE LOL

white pc, black pc, black PP, grey nylon, black Alu

I guess the white PC just came with module but still

I just want to be done

[sweet oak]

Collecting all the plates

Call it fine China

[polar girder]

I’m just a clueless noob trying to find his way in the world lol

[elfin garnet]

Just means you have the patience to try out stuff. That's a good thing

[thorn zealot]

And deep pockets of bands

[viral veldt]

Hello people

I don’t know much about keyboards and I’m planning on getting the 60he.. would I be able to switch the keycaps from my higround 65? I just don’t want to give up that design

[stone flax]

Keycaps are compatible ofc but the kitting doesnt match

[viral veldt]

Got it, thank you

[tranquil charm]

get the 40he

[drifting bronze]

guys where can i find good iso french keycaps

[burnt gust]

Is wireless functionality possible on the 60HE with 2 different wireless dongles?

Like a wireless USB-C wireless Transmitter, and another reciever plugged into my PC to recieve the actions. I want to play video games on my TV, because some games are just fun to play on a bigger screen.

If it's not possible I am completely fine with that, just will have to find other options.

[little glen]

If the receiver is powered and connected to a giant battery bank

[burnt gust]

https://tenor.com/view/im-dead-bruh-im-dead-s-keleton-dead-im-dead-bruh-skeleton-gif-26854882

[polar girder]

Wooting needs power lol

[burnt gust]

Yeah true

Lmao

[burnt gust]

Any links to a power bank that's compatible? 😂

[exotic inlet]

I'm not pretty sure it would work lol

Best option is to get anotherkeyboard for when you are in the bigger screen and that's it

[polar girder]

Or 20’ usb cable

[burnt gust]

Yeah, true is it unhealthy for me to unplug my 60HE into one usb c, and plug back into my main usb c consistantly

[exotic inlet]

Just get a wireless keyboard for when you are on the TV

I really doubt you can turn a wired keyboard into wireless

[upbeat jungle]

is it possible to get 30$ alu case?

[harsh dove]

Closest to that I think is the GH60

[quiet bay]

Ty @untold wigeon for the 3 raw hes

[tall sluice]

why does the 60he+ module come with two plate foams

or rather it comes with the plastic plate thign already installed and then a pe plate foam

[harsh dove]

Personal preference for different sound profiles

One is foam and one is silicone

[tall sluice]

ah makes sense

just making sure they're not supposed to both be installed

[harsh dove]

Nah, it’s one or the other

[tall sluice]

will putting switch pads or a sheet of pe foam under the plate affect the magnets

[harsh dove]

As long as it’s not thicker than about 3mm iirc, it should be fine

[upbeat jungle]

is it good enough or just invest for tofu?

[harsh dove]

I haven’t tried the GH60 personally but it seems like a thinner Tofu

[upbeat jungle]

it fits wooting yes?

[tall sluice]

I just got a bamboo gh60 and it fits perfectly

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[upbeat jungle]

did u enojy it?

[tall sluice]

its a nice case and even comes with a cover, my only problem is that it's flat and doesn't have an incline

it also is more than $30

[upbeat jungle]

wdym incline

[old swallow]

the tofu has the keys tilted a bit towards you, but the GH60 has them flat

i think thats what he means

[harsh dove]

Yeah I think it has 0 degree typing angle

[upbeat jungle]

aah

yeah

is that a make difference?

[quiet bay]

oh my goodness gracious they sound so nice

Left = Lekkers

Right = raws

[empty forge]

i have a wooting clicky.

[quiet bay]

with this I would have the creamiest wooting

ever

they also feel mega nice..

no more feeling wobble

its definitely louder tho

but still hella nice

[exotic inlet]

what keycaps are those, cerakeys?

[quiet bay]

yes

[glossy pagoda]

Oh hey it's the build contest winner 👋

[quiet bay]

hi mark 👋

[exotic inlet]

My god, the right one sounds sooo good!

What are the full spces if you don't mind

[quiet bay]

Klippe T Case
Ceramic Keycaps
Lekker60s with 3 layers of switch tape mod using Gentle Paper Tape
Lubed switches and tx plate mount stabs with 205g0
PC Plate
Poron switch pads from divinikey
Poron plate foam
1 layer of masking tape, 1 layer of moleskin tape for tape mod
Polyfill
Gummy O Ring Mount (Using Bakaneko o ring)

I didnt think raws would be this much of a difference in sound and feel...

[tall hollow]

lmaoooo

[dire apex]

What’s a switch tape mod

[tall hollow]

kinda like temptest mod, but on the other side of the pcb

[calm pulsar]

nah its on the inside of the switch, useful on lekker v1s

cause of the tolerances

[tall hollow]

oh that one

[quiet bay]

ye v2 lekkers should be way better

[tall hollow]

like what I did?

cauz I put tape on the top and bottom housing

although didnt help since the tolerances were so shit

well it did, but not as much as I would have liked

[quiet bay]

#1173784544529363034 message

ima try the raw on my spacebar 👀

[tall hollow]

yeah I did this like may of last year, it took foreverrrrr

and the result was only ok #1107810291888169010 message

[quiet bay]

yeahh it was painful

i think my switches aged pretty well tho

[tall hollow]

mine didnt, the tolerance only got worse when I cracked open the switches and introducing stress into the plastic clips of the switch that hold the top and bottom housings together

and the tolerances was already bad to begin with

[quiet bay]

rip

It's almost time for me to upgrade ngl

these raws r..

too good

[tall hollow]

I got black knights and they should be arriving soon

[quiet bay]

left is lekkers, right is raw

both 100g spring

[tall hollow]

they sound similar, but lekker has a sharper sound

[quiet bay]

raw sounds like marshmallows

to me

I might keep the raw on the spacebar ngl 👀

[tall hollow]

I wonder if I should give this an update, I havent changed this thing in a year (kind of on purpose, kinda not)

[tall sluice]

it's more of a comfort thing. You can always prop something under the keyboard if the angle isn't comfortablle

[idle frost]

is there any sound tests on the new jades?

[neon tiger]

am i deaf or .....

i cant tell the difference LOL

[solid panther]

does someone have goods looking keycaps for under 20€ ( ISO french )

[neon tiger]

and i dont really own any keyboards before .... so how do we tell the diff

[quiet bay]

just sound

[neon tiger]

lemme see the video again

[quiet bay]

whatvideo

[neon tiger]

this

hmm i guess

the raw he sounds

creamier ?

[quiet bay]

ye

[neon tiger]

did u change ur springs or is the stock 100g ?

[quiet bay]

i changed it

[neon tiger]

oh wow

what are the stocks spring weight ?

[quiet bay]

actually i dont even know lol

frijoles sent 3 of them to me

to test out

[neon tiger]

HAHAH its fine

[quiet bay]

and damn they sound mad nice

also feel really nice too

[neon tiger]

alright cant wait to order em

[quiet bay]

yeahh you'll love them

[neon tiger]

know what i mean

[quiet bay]

imagine i had my entire wooting in raw hes

already sounds mad good for 3 keys

[marsh saffron]

40-50-60g

There's 3 options

[untold wigeon]

Nice!!! Holy crap that was quick. It said not until Monday

[neon tiger]

oh i mean like the lekekrs

lekkers *

that come with the 60 he

[marsh saffron]

Oh 60

[neon tiger]

ah i see

i will be going for the 50 g raw hes i think... like someone advised me on here earlier. what do you think ? @marsh saffron

[tawdry tree]

A switch pad of around 0.2-0.3mm is fine and can be used with the included foam.

[marsh saffron]

Good choice

[neon tiger]

aight bet

[quiet bay]

yeah I was actually quite surprised myself too lmao

had to double check the tracking number

[quiet bay]

yeah seems like lots of people like raws at 50g

[late quest]

these keycaps go well with my 60he+ ??

[untold wigeon]

Seriously

[quiet bay]

personal preference

but they do fit

for the layout of the 60he+

[late quest]

alright

[untold wigeon]

@quiet bay your board sounds so nice with the Raws in it.

[quiet bay]

yeah the raws sound so much cleaner than the v1

like wthh

[stone elbow]

Do i need to remove the extra standoffs with gummy oring mount?

[polar girder]

Get gengar vv3 pro lol

[quiet bay]

optional

[late quest]

haha already have the white one

[stone elbow]

Any difference between leaving them there and removing them? What would you do personally?

[quiet bay]

i take off the extra standoffs

[thorny jetty]

congrats on wining the keyboard comp, just finished watching the vod from yesterday

[quiet bay]

i find more bounce in that

[quiet bay]

thanks ❤️

[polar girder]

You won something again? Lol

[thorny jetty]

wait guys do you mind clarifying something for me? theres two different oring mods you can add to a keyboard right? theres the little ones that go on the stand offs and the bigger one that you put in between the plate and the board?

[polar girder]

Correct

Burger mount vs gummy/friction mount

[calm pulsar]

the little orings one the standoffs are usuall called burger mount

[thorny jetty]

ooo i thought the bigger one was the burger mount, since it looks like a burger xD, thanks for the clarification

[calm pulsar]

the big oring mount is called friction mount cause you squeeze the pcb assembly into the case and it is held in there by friction

[fluid ravine]

well well well
Isn't it our little winner winner chimken sandwich

[calm pulsar]

like Erik said on the stream btw I think

[thorny jetty]

I see, thanks!

[fluid ravine]

Sounds great @quiet bay

[quiet bay]

now I only need 58 more raws

[fluid ravine]

We can now atleast know that the RAW's in comparison just sounds louder

[quiet bay]

ye

[fluid ravine]

still has that signature pochi sound

[quiet bay]

noticeably louder

[quiet bay]

hehe

[fluid ravine]

[marsh saffron]

Raws are intriguing but I'm sticking with my dashes until silent HE switches come out

[fluid ravine]

What u gonna do with the other 2 if youre gonna keep it on your spacebar

[calm pulsar]

maybe can put in the UwU

[fluid ravine]

My board sounds fine rn but doesn't overall sound that great rn xd

i hate myself

[quiet bay]

i put them on the esc and enter key

enter key alot better now

[fluid ravine]

ah oka

[calm pulsar]

makes sense

[marsh saffron]

I'm really happy with how mine sounds rn

Although might go and mess with my spacebar stabs

[fluid ravine]

im still being a little sucker on why i lubed mine

[marsh saffron]

Lubing my dashes was so worth it

[fluid ravine]

I feel like i will open my switches again and fully unlube every part except the stem

im going crazy

[calm pulsar]

didnt you do it yesterday?

[fluid ravine]

yeah i only did it for the top housing rails

[quiet bay]

what if lube with 3204

[fluid ravine]

i havent done it with the walls of it

and im not sure if it's still dampening the sound a bit

ill continue to look into it

[calm pulsar]

my raws and geon HE springs will be here in 10 days

[fluid ravine]

usually i should know by now what parts that are dampened with lube and what isn't but damn im questioning myself

[polar girder]

WINNER OF WHAT

I MISSED IT

[fluid ravine]

The Contest Build from last week

[calm pulsar]

check the latest live on wooting YT

[fluid ravine]

like go to 2/4 of teh stream

should be around there

[stone elbow]

How do i go about putting the module with o ring in my case, it's tight, and my o ring is getting on the plate

[drifting bronze]

Is a gmk set worth it?

[fluid ravine]

plop

[fluid ravine]

try doing it without plate foam first so you know how to get around it when you use it with plate foam

as you insert make sure you slowly and progressively push in the oring between the plate and PCB all around as you install it

[calm pulsar]

🐸 🛫

[fluid ravine]

I had a quick video explaination on how to do it but i cant find it

[fluid ravine]

FROGGGY

[calm pulsar]

yuppp
it is on the way to US tho before being forwarded to me lul

[polar girder]

Too much work nvm

[daring valve]

Did you spring swap anything else or just the spacebar? Finished my board last night and the spacebar is a bit hollow. Going to try either PE foam or poron. Will also go in and hand lube the raw switch. Those ceramic keys really do add a nice pop.

[polar girder]

You ordered the raw aluminum one from cafege or what

[calm pulsar]

I got featured there too btw😎
but Erik and Mark ultimately chose Pochi cause of the thoccc

[calm pulsar]

yes

the last one

they will get some restock but for some time there won't be any left

[stone elbow]

I think i did it, screw in stabs were a bit problematic , now to figure out how to remove it for when i receive my tofu

[calm pulsar]

if its too tight you could remove corner switches and take it out easier

[polar girder]

Yeah pochi HE go crazy NGL

[fluid ravine]

Was it erik that said thock>clack 😂

[stone elbow]

For uninstallation?

[calm pulsar]

yeah Pochi's lekker v1 build is genuinely the real thock

[polar girder]

Yeah screw in stabs for friction mount suck

[polar girder]

Yes.

[calm pulsar]

yeah he said even tho clack is the current meta, his vote is for thock😄

[polar girder]

Cuz the o-ring is hanging on to those switches. If they’re removed it comes in further

Makes it ez

[fluid ravine]

The princess of thock
My job has been done and now the legacy must go on

[harsh dove]

I think they are personally, best to find them on sale from places like Omnitype though

@drifting bronze

Also, went back to POM plate for my frog

The Alu ain’t it for me

Makes the bottom row alphas and spacebar sound weird

[calm pulsar]

yeah I gotta order a soft one while the case is on the way
do you think I should go for POM by default or should I consider PC, ABS, PP ?

[fluid ravine]

PP

[harsh dove]

I’d consider POM, PP, or PC

[polar girder]

Oh fk I should’ve ordered POM too

[quiet bay]

sweating with a creamy build rn

[calm pulsar]

which material you've got?

[polar girder]

PP and ordered Nylon and Alu

[calm pulsar]

I guess I can just order POM so that I have the softest and the hardest available plates lul

[polar girder]

POM softest?

[calm pulsar]

oh actually PC might be

the softest

[polar girder]

Man so expensive to try them all

But it’s really the only way

RIP

we need like a Wooting modders frog plate demo set to pass around

[calm pulsar]

I think the biggest differences are between three categories:

any plastic plates
FR4/CF
any metal plates

so might get one from each category

[polar girder]

Or just give Tom all our money

[elfin garnet]

Tom is the man. He is sending me a free PP plate because I tried some stuff out for him. Can't wait to try it

[calm pulsar]

but ofc these have small differences among them

[polar girder]

That’s huge

[calm pulsar]

yeah awesome

[elfin garnet]

Actually

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m tempted by CF but seems opposite of quiet thock lol

[calm pulsar]

it is indeed dense, so closer to clack, but I think its a bit more muted clack

[polar girder]

Might look cool with cosmos tho lol

[calm pulsar]

cause the highest frequencies are being dampened

damn I guess I have to order a plastic plate AND a CF one too

I think with CF you can achieve a nice clack without it being too bright

[polar girder]

Man oh man

@harsh dove what plates do you have for frog mini?

I’m going broke buying them all

[calm pulsar]

yhhh

[harsh dove]

I have this written up guide that I asked tirade if I could add it to the modding faq but he hasn’t gotten back to me yet as he’s on vacation iirc

Which Plate Material is Right For You?

Selecting the ideal keyboard plate material is a game-changer for your typing experience. This guide simplifies the process, focusing on the most popular materials: Aluminum, Brass, Carbon Fiber, Polypropylene (PP), Polyoxymethylene (POM), Polycarbonate (PC), and Flame Retardant-4 (FR4).

Assessing Material Properties: Each material offers unique characteristics. Aluminum, known for its rigidity and moderate sound profile, is a versatile choice. Brass, heavier and with a more pronounced sound, provides a very stiff typing feel. Both these metal plates provide a hint of resonance (brass even more so). Carbon Fiber stands out for its lightweight and high-pitched sound profile, ideal for a stiffer typing experience. PP and POM offer flexibility and a unique and poppy sound signature, while PC provides a softer typing feel with an great amount of flex but being the deepest of the plastic plate materials. FR4, same as PCB material, offers a balanced typing experience with good sound absorption.

Considering Personal Preference and Use Case: Your choice should align with your typing habits and aesthetic preferences. For gaming, materials like Aluminum or Carbon Fiber are preferable for their stability and responsiveness. For office use, PC or FR4 can be ideal due to their subtle sound profiles. Aesthetically, materials like Brass and Carbon Fiber stand out for their distinct looks, although not really visible while keycaps are mounted.

Actionable Tips:

Match the material with your primary use: Aluminum or Carbon Fiber for stiffer typing experiences, PC, POM, PP or FR4 for softer typing experiences.
Consider the sound and feel: Brass for a pronounced and resonant sound signature, PP or POM for a unique sound (poppy) and feel.
Think about the weight and aesthetics: Brass for heft and luxuriousness, Carbon Fiber for a modern look that may match your vehicle.
Don't overlook the flex: PP and PC for flexible builds, Aluminum for less.
Test if possible: Try different materials at local meetups or a friends to experience them firsthand.
Our list for flexiest plate materials - From flexiest to stiffest:

• Rank 1: Polypropylene (PP)
• Rank 2: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Rank 3: Polyoxymethylene (POM)
• Rank 4: Flame Retardant-4 (FR4)
• Rank 5: Aluminum (Alu)
• Rank 6: Brass
• Rank 7: Carbon Fiber (CF)

Please note there are more plates than what are shown above. These are just the most commonly seen within the hobby. Also, this list is based off our experience/knowledge. YMMV

[calm pulsar]

oh so CF is the stiffest, interesting, I thought it was closer to FR4

[harsh dove]

Two Alu and one POM

[polar girder]

Idc about feel. Just sound TBH

[prime orbit]

how would using the module without a case be LMAO

mine doesnt come for another 7 days

sad

[polar girder]

Leave it in the foam lol

[calm pulsar]

there is a piece of foam that comes with the module, you can just set your module on it while you wait

[prime orbit]

oh fr??

w

i have a switch plate too

[calm pulsar]

yh it just says MODULE on it lol

[prime orbit]

do i wait for that

[calm pulsar]

you can use the preinstalled plate while you wait too

it comes with a white PC plate installed

[stone elbow]

so far i'm loving the friction mount, board is so bouncy now :D

[prime orbit]

kk

just didnt know if i hsould put mine in rn or wait for case

[fluid ravine]

yoink thanks

[quiet bay]

will eventually be in modding faq anyway xd

[elfin garnet]

@fluid ravine fixed the ping with force break mod, but still want to bag lube the springs tbh

[prime orbit]

it wont ruin it using it like this right?

[calm pulsar]

I mean, shoulnt be any issues
on Wooting YT they mention that you can use it with this piece while you wait for your case

[prime orbit]

ah ok

[calm pulsar]

also I think there's a Wooting employee who uses it like that always lol

[polar girder]

Oh fk. I need to get some electrical tape lol

[prime orbit]

do i just put my switches in it? dont need to do anything before

[polar girder]

Yeah plop switches in, throw keycaps on and plug it in

[calm pulsar]

yeah the module comes with the silicone pad and PC plate preinstalled, so you can install switches and plug it in and it's a fully functioning keyboard

[harsh dove]

Np

[elfin garnet]

Yeah def helps. Installed my SW knight stabs as well finally

Liking them

[prime orbit]

ok cool

do the switches go a certain way?

[calm pulsar]

there's an rgb window which should be on north side to align with the leds

[elfin garnet]

Which layout do you have Erix?

[prime orbit]

uhhh

the US version

idk what its called

[calm pulsar]

ANSI

[elfin garnet]

ANSI

Then you're good to go with the switches being north facing

ISO enter is west facing so that's why I asked

[prime orbit]

bet

[calm pulsar]

btw have yall seen the giant ass enter on GMK Cosmos? it can fit on ANSI layout lol

[drifting bronze]

Guys is it worth paying 160 for a set of keycaps?

[calm pulsar]

@polar girder @harsh dove this enter can go on ANSI lmao

[elfin garnet]

Yeah I've seen. It's kinda cool. Didn't know it fits ANSI that's nice

[old swallow]

hahaaha, euh...

to some people

[calm pulsar]

yeah its wild

[polar girder]

I’m about to buy that entire cosmic dust just for that fking caps lock key

☠️☠️☠️

[elfin garnet]

yeah me too lol

What's the white set tho

[calm pulsar]

you mean with the rgb window?

[elfin garnet]

or am I misunderstanding something

[calm pulsar]

its just for reference

so you can see the layout

[elfin garnet]

ah I see

[harsh dove]

wtf lol

[calm pulsar]

yeah it just goes on both enter and the \ key

so we can be just like the ISO chads

but tbh I still like the ANSI layout lol

[elfin garnet]

Never tried it

but I might

[drifting bronze]

Yo guys does anyone have some tips for my desk to make it cleaner

[polar girder]

Yeah

[calm pulsar]

might have to cop this up too

[polar girder]

What about sound tho?

I feel like that typical Clack>>Thock graph is kind of bologna

[calm pulsar]

I think this graph only works when you already know what goes into your build and just want a specific change to the sound

[spice plover]

nah 80G springs

is where the $$$ is at

anyone playing under 60G is gonna be missing fingers in a few years

[ionic breach]

fk no

but we do

[tidal frigate]

Yes and no

[tidal frigate]

In what matter

[stone elbow]

if you're willing to pay 160 and it's a set that you like, why not

[tidal frigate]

I never seen pp plate

[prime orbit]

No case diff

[untold wigeon]

That’s why I sent her 3 😂

[visual phoenix]

Buy bigger pad that will include your keyboard

[spice plover]

Just to make sure when tub lubing the switches 205g krytox won’t affect the magnet at all right?

Like the stems specifically

[calm pulsar]

uhh I dont think it will affect actuation, but it might become soggy and mushy when actuating, cause of the lube at the bottom (depending on what switches you have)

[spice plover]

I have Raw HEs should I wipe off the magnet side before assembly you think ?

[stone flax]

nooooo

what the

tub lubing

😭

[calm pulsar]

tbh when it comes to raws I'd say just lube the springs
I think Cam and Thackson would advise this

[calm pulsar]

yeahh I wouldnt do this personally haha

[spice plover]

Lmfaooo ok 👌

Good thing I asked

Jw why not tub lube raws just so I know?

[calm pulsar]

I mean this method is kinda barbaric haha, too much lube everywhere
especially when applied to HE switches, cause they have magnets on bottoms and the stickyness of the lube will be more noticeable

[stone flax]

itll make the switches cry

[quiet bay]

wth

tub lube??

ur so going to over overlube them

[spice plover]

I swear I heard this was the best method just leave the bottom housing

I guess hallelujah effect switches are different so I’m just not gonna do it

[stone flax]

????

Lazy sure

Wasteful aswell

Imprecise too

But not best

[spice plover]

Have you ever tried it mjj?

[stone flax]

Why would i when i can just use a brush

[spice plover]

Doesn’t brushing take like 4 hours vs 1 hour

[stone flax]

?

[calm pulsar]

ugh I imagine the lube being on the keycap stem as well, and when you install keycaps the lube is going to be squeezing out ewwww

[calm pulsar]

@fluid ravine kindly explain to this man that tub lubing raws is a sin

[spice plover]

Bro thackson is a noob at this thock stuff

[quiet bay]

forget about thock your switches are going to feel like shit 😭

lube everywhere!!!

[calm pulsar]

yeah but even Pochi, the winner of the build contest is telling you that

[quiet bay]

• it'll def get scratched

[harsh dove]

It’s mentioned in there

[quiet bay]

by the other stems inside

[spice plover]

Can anyone send me a pro video for lubing Hall effect switches then?

Pochi? Pochi won the build contest?

I’ll join the next one for a participation award too 🥇

[stone flax]

Just bag lube springs or brush over the rails bru

Its not that hard 😭

[calm pulsar]

yuh

[spice plover]

First time lubing switches

And my master plan of tub lubing is bad now

[calm pulsar]

for geons you dont even really need to lube the stems, just the springs, cause they are lubed well from factory

[quiet bay]

yeah u really only need to lube the springs

no recommend tub lubing stems cuz stems r not scratch-proof

[spice plover]

Pochi can I see your build ?

[quiet bay]

like the sound or the picture of the board

[spice plover]

Both pls

[quiet bay]

ima quickly do a sound test of what i have rn

[quiet bay]

and i'll just post old pics

ignore backround noise my dad is blasting tv downstairs

only esc, spacebar, and enter key has the raw he

[spice plover]

Super cool

[quiet bay]

when I feel like it Imma redo the bottom vinyl

and do a diff design

maybe will do a chainsaw

[calm pulsar]

you could do something abstract like your deskpad

[quiet bay]

honestly, I've been wanting a blank deskmat ngl 😂

I got this deskmat cause it was water resistant and it was black and white

and symmetrical

[calm pulsar]

fair 😄
I do like my just black razer strider, and its also water resistant

but some of the pads that come with gmk sets look too good sometimes

[quiet bay]

I tried ignoring it for a while but

there's a small defect on my deskmat

and I can't unsee it

Ignore dirty deskmat…

[polar girder]

You want my Venus XXL?

I’ve got that and a custom cable to offload

[quiet bay]

ohh how much?

[polar girder]

Prob just for cost of shipping

[quiet bay]

oh shi fr?

[polar girder]

I used it for a year and cleaned it but then switched to Saturn pro

Yeah it just sitting

[quiet bay]

alr sure

[flat cobalt]

I have a little piece of cloth peeking out of mine

[untold wigeon]

@harsh dove @calm pulsar what were your guys opinion on the WS Stupid stabs?

[calm pulsar]

personally havent used them, but I think Cam confirmed they work on Wooting plates
I was thinking of ordering some stabs from WS (v3.1s), but havent got to it yet

[untold wigeon]

Snap in is not the same as plate mount correct @calm pulsar

[calm pulsar]

yes, the clip-in stabs go in the same holes as screw-ins, just without having to screw them in

[untold wigeon]

So for v1 wooting 60he I want “plate mount”

[untold wigeon]

theyre ok

[calm pulsar]

oh actually yes, the OG 60HE wouldnt support the WS Stupid stabs

[untold wigeon]

not completely rattle-free

but otherwise pretty good

[untold wigeon]

Oh ok! Glad I checked

[calm pulsar]

I think as far as plate mounts go, ppl have been recommending TX AP and Durock V3s, the plate mount versions

[untold wigeon]

I can find the Durok ones but the listing is so confusing

[calm pulsar]

link it, let's see what's there

[untold wigeon]

https://a.co/d/cIgZe12

Like 80% or 100%

[harsh dove]

80

[untold wigeon]

The color and wire color part I get.

[untold wigeon]

Oh ok.

[harsh dove]

100 kit

[sweet oak]

Overwhelmingly positive

[harsh dove]

I guess I can't copy an image

[calm pulsar]

haha

Wukong reviews? 😄

[harsh dove]

[untold wigeon]

Wukong looks awesome

[harsh dove]

80 kit

[untold wigeon]

Tried these yet?

[calm pulsar]

yeah as a big soulslike fan, this game looks tempting

[harsh dove]

Durock v3? yeah

[untold wigeon]

Opinions?

[harsh dove]

Solid

[untold wigeon]

Ok sweet.

[harsh dove]

They're like Top 3 in my list

[untold wigeon]

Stabs are the only thing left stock on my board lol.

[harsh dove]

and the WS Stupids are alright, nothing amazing

[untold wigeon]

But they don’t work with V1 correct?

[harsh dove]

V1 as in OG Wooting, no

They're clip ins

[untold wigeon]

Yes

Ok. Just double checking

Ty guys! @harsh dove @calm pulsar

[spice plover]

Opening Raw HEs are so annoying holy fk

[untold wigeon]

Yeah they are sticky. Most difficult ones I’ve messed with

[quiet bay]

yeah I cant imagine opening up 61 let alone more than 100 for a 2he 😨

I had to try again to open the raws up like 5 times lmao

[stone flax]

why are we doing this tbw

btw

[calm pulsar]

even with a switch opener?

[old swallow]

i use all switches stock, because just swapping them out alone is kinda tedious

[spice plover]

Changing springs from 50s to 80s

[old swallow]

i just cant imagine opening all of them

[spice plover]

Yeah idk if it’s a super cheap one just takes a lot more effort to seperate bottom and top housings

[elfin garnet]

I dont like putting them together

Because of rgb window piece

[spice plover]

Also I relubed the stem because I never did it and wanted to try it but I’m using a brush

Also just bag lubed all the 80s with 105

[old swallow]

i just dont feel like hand lubing is worth it, bag lubing i guess fair enough

[untold wigeon]

In America layout is ansi correct?

[old swallow]

yop

[calm pulsar]

yup

[untold wigeon]

Try spring swapping a whole board worth. It was awful

[calm pulsar]

me building a frankenswitch out of 3 switches, then disassembling, cleaning and relubing all of them😭

[quiet bay]

in the end it's all worth it atleast

[untold wigeon]

True

[quiet bay]

wait did you buy 40, 50, or 60g raws?

[untold wigeon]

50

[old swallow]

haha yeah, i guet that it makes a difference, but honestly. for me it doesnt really matter

[quiet bay]

ooh cause they felt really soft and nice

[untold wigeon]

Indeed they do

[calm pulsar]

fair, just having fun with this hobby 😄

[spice plover]

Literallly bleeding for this shit 🩸

[old swallow]

yeah, i get that a lot of people just enjoy tinkering, but thats not really my thing

[quiet bay]

wtf

[untold wigeon]

Who besides SMK sells a POM plate?

[spice plover]

Just cut myself idk if my switch opener is shit or these switches are insane

[elfin garnet]

https://hypekeyboards.ca/

[untold wigeon]

Why does he want extra money if it’s not a stock or frog case???

[elfin garnet]

He does?

[calm pulsar]

I think with your case you just select "Standard (Stock)"

[untold wigeon]

Oh ok.

He’s that Tom guy who was here the other night right?

[elfin garnet]

Yes

[untold wigeon]

Yeh.

[elfin garnet]

There's some of us in here with plates from him

[calm pulsar]

I assume its extra if the case requires a whole different kind of plate, like if your case was an actual gasket mount or something

[untold wigeon]

I heard a POM plate and I love it. Never heard it before. I thought pc was awesome. I was wrong

[calm pulsar]

but in your case, the plate dimensions should be just like a standard wooting plate

[untold wigeon]

Makes sense

[untold wigeon]

They are exactly the same

[calm pulsar]

yup

[untold wigeon]

What’s his username? I can’t remember it

[elfin garnet]

Then type in wooting 60he under it

@ then hypekeyboards

and you'll find him

How long did it take you to spring swap btw?

[untold wigeon]

Oof. I don’t know what I need then. I think just standard

[untold wigeon]

Spring swap and 3 configs took me 3.5 hours

[untold wigeon]

Oh ok. I think I get it

[elfin garnet]

Not sure how you got the option between frog and "not on the list"

[calm pulsar]

oh is this because POM isnt available in the usual 60he listing?

[untold wigeon]

Wooting section for plates

[calm pulsar]

wait POM is available

[elfin garnet]

it is tho

Just do it how I posted

[untold wigeon]

I accidentally hit “other”

[calm pulsar]

I think this is what he needs?

[untold wigeon]

Yup I see now

[elfin garnet]

Yup that should be good

And if you friction mount I recommend putting in a note saying that you don't want the tray mount holes (see second pic)

[calm pulsar]

good point

I gotta mention it for the frog too when I order

[elfin garnet]

yeah should be looking like this:

Well actually like the top plate in the last picture

Since you're using ANSI

[untold wigeon]

Ok cool. But crap. Already ordered

I’ll try and message him here. Maybe he can make a note of it

[elfin garnet]

It's ok. You can just message him and ask for it

[untold wigeon]

Ok cool

Ok I messaged him. Hopefully he catches it.

@smoky totem check DM please.

lol. Need to cover all my bases.

[sweet oak]

going all out huh?

[elfin garnet]

He'll most likely message you to confirm the layout etc anyway

[spice plover]

Idk how u guys hand lube a lot

[narrow harbor]

are there any pics of the wooting 80 he pcb?

[spice plover]

I need to take an adderal break

[untold wigeon]

Yeh.

[untold wigeon]

pain is temporary glory is forever

[spice plover]

That’s the quote I needed to keep going

[untold wigeon]

POM plate and Durock v3s ordered.

[calm pulsar]

sounds good

my cherry clip-ins arrived today and tomorrow an alu plate from kbdfans shoud come, will be trying raws in it when they are here

[untold wigeon]

This should sound really nice

I’m personally dying to see what loud ass Raws sound like in a POM plate lol.

[elfin garnet]

That's what I'm using now

love it

[calm pulsar]

I think a POM plate will tame them and make em quieter and more rounded up

[thorn zealot]

u got an alu plate from kbd?

for wooting or for somethin else

[untold wigeon]

Pom with Raw?

[calm pulsar]

yup they made a wooting compatible alu plate, I asked them to put it on aliexpress and ordered it, cause it was initially only on their website

[untold wigeon]

This is the hope

[elfin garnet]

yeah in a frog. My setup is very similar to Cams

[calm pulsar]

btw do you find raws louder than dashes? or is it the other way around

[untold wigeon]

That’s sweet? 60he in a frog?

[thorn zealot]

is it this or somethin else

[elfin garnet]

Yeah. I think the only difference is in which tadpoles we're using

[untold wigeon]

Omg Raws are WAY louder than Dashs

[calm pulsar]

yup it's the one

[calm pulsar]

ohh I see, I guess due to semi-open bottom

[untold wigeon]

How does it fit the bottom row?

[untold wigeon]

I guess

[elfin garnet]

What do you mean

[untold wigeon]

Doesn’t the frog only have two switches flanking the spacebar?

[quiet bay]

but also alot cleaner sounding 😂
if it's loud at least it's pleasant

[untold wigeon]

Oh yeah way cleaner

[elfin garnet]

frog mini

it's a 60% board

[prime orbit]

Do you have to take out switches to change the pc plate?

[calm pulsar]

it is available in WK, meaning no extra metal pieces covering key spots

[elfin garnet]

Looks like this

[calm pulsar]

dang this set is super nice

[untold wigeon]

Oh ok. I didn’t know that. I only saw the other one

Like this.

[calm pulsar]

yeah there were 3 options, where Windows key is covered, then HHKB, where the Ctrl key is covered

and also the usual option

[elfin garnet]

Yeah that's what me, big, cam +++ are using

[untold wigeon]

Ok. I thought they were all like that. ⬆️⬆️⬆️

[untold wigeon]

It’s sweet

[elfin garnet]

Yeah. Just expensive and hard to get a hold of

[calm pulsar]

soon to be me as well

[untold wigeon]

That part I know lol

[thorn zealot]

wish i knew that before

[elfin garnet]

If you're gonna use the green keycaps it's gonna look sick on the silver

[calm pulsar]

well they released it like 2 weeks ago

[calm pulsar]

yeah this is probably going to be the main setup, though geon's own gmk black snail would look nice too

[thorn zealot]

pretty recent

[elfin garnet]

That's 2 good options indeed

[thorn zealot]

i didnt see anyone talk abt it here

unless i missed it

[elfin garnet]

wait released what

[calm pulsar]

kbdfans made an alu plate for tray mount not long ago

its in black too, kinda nice

[elfin garnet]

oh but tray mount

[quiet bay]

how much did u guys pay for your frog minis 😂

frog mini leggera looks nice but tray mount

[calm pulsar]

yup, I ordered it before I ordered the frog 😄

[stone flax]

i got a good deal

[calm pulsar]

yeah also should be relatively cheap

[stone flax]

its 70usd in korea

[elfin garnet]

• TAX

[quiet bay]

wait the frog mini leggera??

[fluid ravine]

tf u say

[stone flax]

yeah

[quiet bay]

WHAT

i need one

[calm pulsar]

does it come with a weight?

[fluid ravine]

Respectfully, i was the first few that achieved thock on the older 60he without all the "switches" that came out

[quiet bay]

WTH

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/beef-alarm-gif-24503358

[fluid ravine]

😂

[uneven cradle]

The weights are removed in the leggera

[calm pulsar]

yup its made in china and one-piece design, thus cheaper

[fluid ravine]

man i was about to say that some bs in my name

[calm pulsar]

ah I c

[stone flax]

frog at home type shit

[elfin garnet]

leggera 😴

[stone flax]

[quiet bay]

can I oring mount it?

[stone flax]

two vers soldw

so yeah

[quiet bay]

isnt the other version middle usb port tho

[stone flax]

u can buy the leggera vers that u can o ring mount

[calm pulsar]

pretty sure it would work with the friction mount just like klippe t

[elfin garnet]

it is

[quiet bay]

wow

rip my bank account 🙏

[calm pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/money-wallet-broke-gif-7855913

[thorn zealot]

u cant do friction?

or like it just meant for tray

[calm pulsar]

you can, I just meant it's not for frog mini

[thorn zealot]

ah alr

im not getting a frog anytime soon

[calm pulsar]

who knows what if someone makes a gasket mount case for 60he

would be insane

[stone flax]

you can

depends which vers of the leggera

on the regular frog mini tho

u cant rly

[thorn zealot]

i mean in terms of bands

i got no bands to spend on that rn

[quiet bay]

or wooting themselves can make one 👀

(PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE)

[west sparrow]

has anyone tried the magnetic jade pros?

whats the difference to the normal ones?

[calm pulsar]

you gotta use your authority as a contest winner to compel them to make a gasket mount case

[calm pulsar]

I think they arent released yet?

oh fukk they are released

wtf

[stone flax]

i dont think anyone who went to the gateron expo is here

so no

i dont think so

[calm pulsar]

you can order tho

[stone flax]

it just went live

meaning

no one would have it hand lol

except for those who physically tried it at the expo

[stone flax]

or those in china

[west sparrow]

ah you beat me to it

[calm pulsar]

hmm actually reading abt its features... doesn't seem all that exciting

I wonder if actual tolerances are improved

[west sparrow]

oh didnt realise it just went live. I assumed since it was there and the other new ones weren't that it must have been out ashile

[stone flax]

bilbili review

^

[west sparrow]

I think its mainly the led improvement?

[calm pulsar]

the website says "precision upgraded" I guess tolerances are improved after all?

[fluid ravine]

what the fuck is tub lubing

[quiet bay]

u throw stems into a container 👍

and shake shake shake

with lube inside

[fluid ravine]

..

[elfin garnet]

they need to make a 60he pro. A premium 60he for like 500usd with some good mounting options

[fluid ravine]

dude, i will unalive myself if i ever see "tub" lubing ever again

[quiet bay]

I gotta get a part time job to be ready for that 😂

[fluid ravine]

dual mounting sheeeee

[calm pulsar]

and a gmk collaboration set on top of that, make it 700 usd

[elfin garnet]

id buy that easy

[calm pulsar]

damn I should ask gateron to send me some jade pros for review, cause my vid w/ jades got more than 40k views

[fluid ravine]

sheeee

type shiat

[sweet oak]

Tell them you were in a wooting contest

That’ll definitely work

[fluid ravine]

i think gateron should send me one singular jade pro for 2.1k :)

[fluid ravine]

real^^^

[calm pulsar]

srsly

[stone flax]

raws are good

[fluid ravine]

and tell them that you are a VOLUNTEER and they should send you sum

[sweet oak]

Ill ask if i can eat some of their stock

[fluid ravine]

LOL

lemme hab sum

[calm pulsar]

xdd

[fluid ravine]

i hungy

[sweet oak]

We all hungy… FOR 80HE

[calm pulsar]

imagine receiving switches for review and eating them on camera

[sweet oak]

https://tenor.com/view/cool-gif-25738828

[elfin garnet]

60HE PRO***

[sweet oak]

Me

[quiet bay]

i should invest in a webcam to make some yt videos

[sweet oak]

Speaking of webcams

Should i do my module installation on webcam, or should i do it on my campus

[west sparrow]

screw that. I need a 2he refresh. add all the upgrades to it and make it in white... please wooting?

man im excited to see ppl try the low profile jade's or the max. from what I'm hearing, they showed the low profile being hot swappable in a normal mx case

[elfin garnet]

A full size keyboard? Where are we? In an office?

[calm pulsar]

werent low pro jades made only for nuphy HE? how would the low pros work in an MX keyboard?

[west sparrow]

https://youtube.com/shorts/VbVb_TZPhu0?si=OfalhLWRRCAtamFU

[calm pulsar]

"on my campus" as in where you study or smth? english not my native 😄

[west sparrow]

no idea. but im really hoping gor the latter

[west sparrow]

ooof I feel personally targetted

[sweet oak]

Yes, as in where i study

[calm pulsar]

I'd say at home with a webcam might be better cause you can take more time to mess with angles, and setup your desk for the video too

[sweet oak]

You have a good point

[harsh dove]

[calm pulsar]

naisu!

they could add a dual stage spring tho

they just made it longer

[harsh dove]

Tbh I prefer just a longer spring vs dual stage a bit

[calm pulsar]

fair, I did like the spring on black jades, but ended up going for 22mm 70g springs in my current build

still curious to try stronger dual stage springs, havent seen any 60g ones or higher

@tawdry tree Jade Pros released

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, there’s a guy that showcased all of them already: #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[calm pulsar]

ah yes Vleaides just linked me the vid👍

[tawdry tree]

Still not really sure if anything is a big upgrade tho

[calm pulsar]

yeah I gotta see for myself

[tawdry tree]

Not only the low profile ones, the silent, transparent and the pros

transparent ones are max I believe

[stone flax]

everything but the integrated he

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[thorn zealot]

is there a difference between original keebmat and the felt one

[fluid ravine]

@dapper hazel

[dapper hazel]

yes

[fluid ravine]

^

[thorn zealot]

ah yes

the man himself

[dapper hazel]

original = thock, felt = clack

[thorn zealot]

bet thanks

[dapper hazel]

more foam = more absorption

felt separates the foam a bit so it’s a different sound profile

if you want to get rid of hollow or plastic case sounds, original + optional keebtape if the board is very hollow

:)

https://tenor.com/view/peace-out-gif-22295199

3:30am here :)

[thorn zealot]

oh mb

go to sleep man

[dapper hazel]

don’t worry :)

:P

[thorn zealot]

@fluid ravine didnt u say u want a keebmat

or did u alr get one

[fluid ravine]

Yeah I want the felts

Haven't got one yet

[thorn zealot]

look at dms

[fluid ravine]

ok

[thorn zealot]

it almost done

[fluid ravine]

Mocha?

[thorn zealot]

yeah

[fluid ravine]

keycaps?

[thorn zealot]

nicepbt sweater weather

im also running no foam, no sandwich pad, and friction mount

tofu redux ofc

im getting an alu plate and cherry clip ins soon

[fluid ravine]

switches?

hmm no case faom ay?

[thorn zealot]

black jades

[fluid ravine]

noiceu

[thorn zealot]

ima get raws in the future

when divinikeys restock

[fluid ravine]

seems like you're one of the few that doesnt use case foam in a tofu

respect

[quiet bay]

who needs burger mount when we have friction mount

[narrow harbor]

who needs a mount when theres a table

[thorn zealot]

ong just the pcb and plate on desk

no case

nothing

[narrow harbor]

put foam below tho to decrease wobble due to components

[fluid ravine]

who needs a keyboard when there's nothing

[narrow harbor]

why use keys when you can write with a drwing tablet

[thorn zealot]

i dont have anything in between the plate and pcb cuz to me i feel like the silicone and foam deadens the sound

[quiet bay]

No need for a case when you have tape mod to protect your pcb

[fluid ravine]

same i use nothing cus im not a big fan of sound modifiers

i like the pure sound of the switch with the plate

except the PC plate makes my RAWs sound dead

[thorn zealot]

ong thats why im getting an alu plate

[fluid ravine]

so ima need a CF plate

[quiet bay]

steel plate :3

[fluid ravine]

icic

[narrow harbor]

I'll never understand the whole keyboard sound stuff.. i use silent alpacas and all the foam i can get to minimize any noise that might exist xd

[stone flax]

the absence of sound as a sound profile is in and of itself a sound profile

[quiet bay]

naw the only time I would use a silent keyboard is if I brought it into school or something

cause good lord my keyboard would definitely get confiscated LMAO

[thorn zealot]

having a nice sounding keeb makes typing essays slightly more enjoyable

[quiet bay]

i want a tactile clacky keyboard to type up essays ngl

[narrow harbor]

how can you survive being the annoying guy in any vc tho

[stone flax]

acting like noise gates dont exist in 2024???

[thorn zealot]

my mic never pics up my keeb

unless ur using a headset mic

and have an actual decent mic

ur keeb wont be picked up

[stone flax]

dont blame the keeb blame the person dumb enough to not know what noise supression is

[thorn zealot]

or blame them for using their shitty headset mic

[narrow harbor]

i know what noise supression is but it makes any mic sound shit, im using an sm7b as my main mic and it clearly picks up my keyboard unless im using the silent one even tho its like behind/under the mic so pretty much placed at the low spot of the pickup pattern

[thorn zealot]

idk much abt mics

i have some $30 usb mic

but it doesnt pick up my keeb with supression

and to my friends i sound fine

[fluid ravine]

yeah same

[drifting bronze]

Guys I'm thinking abt buying this gmk set for my keyboard what do you think?

[thorn zealot]

prob no where near as good as an sm7b or whatever
