Fr

[west finch]

Do I need long or standard pole length

[stone flax]

ipad kids

[tawdry tree]

Depends. Which switches and keycaps do you have?

[stone flax]

unironically

we’re all ipad kids

And hit with our index

They go out stock a shit ton

but

[west finch]

I have WS Dash (Jade) switches and CYL Honor GMK Keycaps

[stone flax]

divinikey

and knckeys

Stock them

[cold bloom]

https://kprepublic.com/en-de/products/gugu-black-knight-magnetic-switch-linear-for-magnetic-mechanical-keyboard-pc-nylon-pom-55g-pre-lubed-for-wooting-nuphy-rakka

says 3.6mm here

[tawdry tree]

Yes, the first thing to know about anything HE is that manufacturers and resellers cannot be trusted.

That’s incorrect.

[cold bloom]

that's unfortunate lol like 2-3 sites say 3.6mm

[tawdry tree]

despite my efforts, nobody has updated anything yet lol.

[tawdry tree]

Yes, IK!! 😭😭

[weary tree]

Whats the top 3 switches at the moment for wooting kb

Like so many pop up its hard to keep up

[cold bloom]

Raw HE 40, 50 and 60g

[tawdry tree]

Raw HE, Clacky
Black Knight, Thocky
No third.

[stone flax]

fake

Its 4.0

[cold bloom]

yeah I got that

thanks

[stone flax]

no problem

[modern sequoia]

btw do you know what holds pcb and plate together?

[tawdry tree]

Standoffs

[stone flax]

standoffs and screws

or soldered switches

or just screws

depends on the board

[modern sequoia]

so you need screws to o ring mount keyboard?

[cold bloom]

ltt store

[stone flax]

if u want it to be secure yes

do u want an actual good mat thats like a mousepad

[tawdry tree]

For the 60HE specifically, the plate is already screwed to the PCB so you can just stretch an O-Ring around it and you’re good.

[stone flax]

Or just something that goes over a desk

[modern sequoia]

okayy

[tawdry tree]

👍

[stone flax]

they are not

[cold bloom]

some switches will report a certain travel distance but be shorter or longer IRL, my hmx swifts are stated to be 3.9 but I think they're 3.6 IRL

[tawdry tree]

They are 4.0mm, yes. 3.6mm is a mistake that nobody feels like correcting.

[tawdry tree]

That’s fine as long as it’s in their +/- margin. Look at Jades for example, they’re sold as 3.5 +/-0.2mm and are 3.3mm in reality.

[austere creek]

4.1mm travel

[tawdry tree]

With black knights it’s not even in their range.

Correct.

Well unless you’re currently using long pole stabs.

[quiet bay]

are raw hes accurate?

[tawdry tree]

It’s a different sound profile, Jades are clacky whereas Black Knights are more thocky/deeper sounding.

[quiet bay]

probably is cuz its geon

[calm pulsar]

hey @tawdry tree, do you think long pole stems of TX AP can be mixed with other wooting compatible stabs?

[prime orbit]

I got my case!

[quiet bay]

which one

[prime orbit]

Redux

Basic

[calm pulsar]

which color

[prime orbit]

Black

I’m doing a black out build

[tawdry tree]

Hmm, really not sure. Would have to check.

[quiet bay]

high pitched vs deep pitched

[calm pulsar]

nice

[prime orbit]

Which brings my to my next question. I gotta install my black pc plate

Do I need to take switches out?

[quiet bay]

yeah

[calm pulsar]

all good no need, just pondering at that idea, I will check on my own later when I get my case and raws

[tawdry tree]

Then you won’t need to switch stabilizers with Black Knights.

[tawdry tree]

I believe Grain Gold uses a +/-0.2 margin of error as well so still in spec.

I did.

[austere creek]

almost like people overstate the importance of sub mm tolerances in travel

the same people overstate how much of a difference 0.1mm vs 0.3 is

[quiet bay]

close enough

pretty accurate

[tawdry tree]

I like silence or as close to silent as possible, so I don’t like Jades but it’s preference.

[polar girder]

Deep pitched for HE lol

[quiet bay]

doesnt bigsly have bk

[polar girder]

Yes Bigsly does

[tawdry tree]

They are not but they are much closer to silent than Jades are.

[polar girder]

And stem swapped raptors

[quiet bay]

can possibly answer this xd

[polar girder]

Oh yeah.

[prime orbit]

Should I try the build without the pc plate first? Just stock

[polar girder]

ME!

[quiet bay]

although Idk if u had jades tho

[polar girder]

[quiet bay]

but u can still share opinion

hehe

[calm pulsar]

I main black knight top housings

[tawdry tree]

Steel plate was designed to rust in your cabinet, not to be used in your board. 🙂

[prime orbit]

Aight

[polar girder]

Lolz

[prime orbit]

Do I need to remove every single switch?

[tawdry tree]

Elaborate

[prime orbit]

For the pc plate switch

[polar girder]

Yo I’m tempted to buy Raws and do the raw top housing thing but idk if I care about wobble that much lol

Kind of over the frankenswitch shit

It is tempting tho….

[prime orbit]

Ok I’m confused. First time ever building a keyboard. There are a bunch of screws in the redux and brass bar box. Where do those go?

[tawdry tree]

If you want to use the switches currently installed in the steel plate in the PC plate, then yes. If not, then you just need to remove the keycaps of keys with stabilizers and the screws.

[prime orbit]

And the pad in the redux box is for what?

[tawdry tree]

Then you can carefully take the plate with switches off of the PCB.

[prime orbit]

Yeah I’m switching the steel plate for the black pc plate I bought

[calm pulsar]

at least this will not introduce any extra tightness like what I did with the jade knights lul

[prime orbit]

So I guess I’ll take em all out

[calm pulsar]

so you could do that for fun

[cold bloom]

yeah agreed

[tawdry tree]

If you don’t mind the wobble, then there’s not really a benefit. There isn’t really a bene for Woot’s boards anyway.

I main them on the Hm66, not my Woot.

[tawdry tree]

Ah, well if you want to use the same switches you’ll have to remove them first.

[prime orbit]

Yeah Unf

[tawdry tree]

or ask them kindly to hop on in the black plate, maybe that works you never know. 😉

[prime orbit]

What about all the screws?

Do I need those or

And the pad

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s the thing. I feel like if I did it I might appreciate the less wobble. But I’m not sure I care enough to do all that work lol

[tawdry tree]

Yes, unscrew the 8 screws that hold the plate in place and use those screws for the new black plate.

[polar girder]

Like if I had to lube them or there was some other reason to bust them open maybe. But idkkk

[tawdry tree]

Haha, it’s alright. I like the Raws in general though, despite not liking clacky switches I do keep a few Raws stock.

In my switch box

[prime orbit]

The screws in the redux box I mean

Also there is like a brass thing?

And some rings from the wooting box

[calm pulsar]

tbh raws in the plastic 80he sound so good and it doesnt even feel like much clack

[prime orbit]

I’m like so confused now 😭😭

[tawdry tree]

Oh, well the redux comes with standoffs that I wouldn’t recommend you use, and some screws for the PCB

Then with the brass weight there are two screws to keep that secure in the tofu.

[tawdry tree]

Will have to hear it irl ofc but yeah

[quiet bay]

it feels like a really nice pop to me

deep pop

[tawdry tree]

those are for burger mounting. You can stick them on the bottom of your PCB where it sits on the case standoffs.

[calm pulsar]

yeah I love it, hoping to achieve it in my frog

[quiet bay]

man Geon really cooked with raw hes

sounds so good in every sound profile

[calm pulsar]

I feel like the semi-open bottom plays a big role in softer sound compared to jades

cause I feel like in jades the sound gets trapped and escapes upwards

and with raws there's some space for sound to go down

[prime orbit]

Ok so

For the switches

How tf do these come off 💀

[quiet bay]

if you dont have a switch opener gl opening them btw 😂

[prime orbit]

I’m trying the included one

The wooting one

They aren’t budging tho 💀

[old swallow]

i think he means get them out of the plate

[quiet bay]

ik, but just an extra comment

[prime orbit]

Ok I took one out

[quiet bay]

only 60 more to go

[prime orbit]

I feel like imma break it holy

[old swallow]

you want to use a switch puller preferably, but otherwise you could try tweezers and push in the clips on the top and bottom

[quiet bay]

[quiet bay]

if raws are already a pain to get out with a switch puller, doing it with tweezers is going to be 3x the pain 😂

[prime orbit]

Bro

[old swallow]

well, yea

[prime orbit]

Why do they come out like this

It sounds like I’m cracking them

[tawdry tree]

Take the plate off first

and push them out from below

a bit easier.

[stone flax]

This

[prime orbit]

Breh

Why didn’t I think of that mma

Lmao

[tawdry tree]

It’s all good 😂

[polar girder]

I’m going to try that next time

Might be painful but at least I won’t compromise any switches lol

[tawdry tree]

LOL, yeah it can be kinda like a cannon but if you push the top of a switch first, then the bottom it doesn’t shoot out I think.

[tawdry tree]

I’d mainly recommend it if you have a steel plate. If you have a PC plate and that TX puller you’re not gonna damage switches by pulling them.

[prime orbit]

Every crew on the back comes out right?

[tawdry tree]

Not all

[quiet bay]

ngl these are kinda nice looking keycaps

put on pcr ghost 80he?

🤔

although only black knights would look good with them

[tawdry tree]

Yes all* I forgot you didn’t have the module

[polar girder]

Pulling switches is my least favorite part of existing. ☠️ ☠️

[tawdry tree]

Could be nice

[prime orbit]

I do have the module

[tawdry tree]

Man with the TX puller you can do all of them in like 40 seconds

[tawdry tree]

Oh, then don’t unscrew your stabilizers screws

you can leave those in.

[quiet bay]

and opening the raws up is also a pain 🥶

[tawdry tree]

Yes actually, they were a bit more stubborn 😂

[quiet bay]

raws sounded good on 80he but now im curious

@loud gull how noticeable is the white on the raw hes on the black 80he underneath keycaps?

also wondering if there will be a black pc plate for 80he unless there already is one

[prime orbit]

Ok guys

Switches are out

How do I do this correctly lmao

[polar girder]

Ok yeah fk that then lol

Although I did invest in a gateron switch opener

[prime orbit]

The pc plate came with foam and silicone I think?

[polar girder]

[prime orbit]

Do I use both

[polar girder]

NO

try them one at a time if you want

But not together

[prime orbit]

Nah I’ll just do foam

Cuz it’s black

Do I just put the plate on?

[quiet bay]

you wont see plate dampener

[prime orbit]

Do I need to do anything to the module first

[quiet bay]

but I still prefer foam anyways xd

[prime orbit]

Yeah but in my head I’ll know

[tawdry tree]

Which switches do you have again

[prime orbit]

Black knights

[polar girder]

Shhhh

That’s not the point

[tawdry tree]

Yeah then foam is good

[polar girder]

[prime orbit]

Ok

Do I need to do anything to do module

Before I put the pc plate and foam on

[tawdry tree]

Screw the plate on and then put in the switches

[quiet bay]

wow he really is doing all black even if u cant see it

[prime orbit]

What about those ring things?

And the brass standoff things

Also why is the foam like cut off at certain areas?

[tawdry tree]

Black on Black enjoyers:

[quiet bay]

I like me white and black

[tawdry tree]

Don’t need to use them, the tofu has 4 standoffs that aren’t removable which are more than enough.

[quiet bay]

would be cool if I had black switches on my modifier keycaps though

[prime orbit]

And the brass part?

[tawdry tree]

Going full oreo lol

[tawdry tree]

The weight?

[prime orbit]

Ye

[quiet bay]

yee

idk when im gonna redo my vinyl

I havent felt like doing it for a while

[tawdry tree]

screw it in

with the two black screws

[prime orbit]

Before I put the module in?

[tawdry tree]

yes

[prime orbit]

Kk

[tawdry tree]

it’s a bit hard to reach afterwards

😅

[tawdry tree]

what’s wrong with it?

[quiet bay]

front is not straight

also some air bubbles

[prime orbit]

Wait wait

There is foam in the redux box

What is that for?

[stone flax]

u wont believe this

but its for the board

[stone elbow]

I don't believe you

[ionic breach]

how controversial

[stone flax]

[prime orbit]

But there was already foam I put on?

I’m confused

[stone elbow]

Between tofu and module

[stone flax]

what foam is it

Case foam

[tawdry tree]

It’s case foam but you can use the case foam that comes with the Module (not the one that says “Module”) as well, whichever one you prefer.

[stone flax]

yeah thats it

[prime orbit]

Ok so the screws are in for the case and module

Do I put the module in?

Or switches next

[stone elbow]

Any order is fine, you can place the switches in or place module in

[prime orbit]

I need to use these to screw the module in right?

[tawdry tree]

You screwed in the brass weight?

[prime orbit]

Ye

[tawdry tree]

Don’t need to use them, you can use the white screws that come with the module

[tawdry tree]

These are hex, the ones from the module are Phillips, whichever one you prefer.

[stone flax]

just more screws

id use em

[stone flax]

stripped screws

[prime orbit]

Wait what do mean with the middle

Module

There are no screws in the box

[stone flax]

Module comes with screws for standoffs

Bro

[prime orbit]

Just more foam 😭

[stone flax]

What did u unscrew

[tawdry tree]

There should be

[stone flax]

To get the plate off

[prime orbit]

Man why did I try this 💀

[tawdry tree]

No not the plate, he already put it kn

[tawdry tree]

In the Module box, there is a little bag with white screws right?

[stone flax]

im asking how he doesnt have the module screws

[tawdry tree]

Ic

[prime orbit]

No there isn’t any

[tawdry tree]

Alright, well, then use those redux screws

They’re torx actually, not hex iirc

but there’s a little screw driver with the redux as well

Did you put those foam/silicone sticker on the bottom of the PCB?

[prime orbit]

Huh 💀😭

If I gotta unscrew my plate again

[tawdry tree]

No

Those little stickers that came with the module

u asked about them earlier

[prime orbit]

Uhhhh

I don’t remember

This gonna be the most jank custom in the server holy 💀

[tawdry tree]

It’s fine

They’re not really necessary

but if you haven’t put the Module in yet, get those stickers

They look like tiny donuts

[prime orbit]

Oh the rings?

Do those go on the standoffs?

[stone elbow]

i feel like it would be more easy to understand to get a youtube video

yeah they go on the standoffs

[prime orbit]

Nah I’m determined now 💀

[teal geode]

s there like a good website to look at keycaps?
or do i just roam around google looking

[prime orbit]

Do they go all the way down?

[stone elbow]

the stickers sit on top of them

[prime orbit]

Just the 2 right

[stone elbow]

uh, 2 in the right, 2 in the left

1 on the standoff where the spacebar would be

if you installed the standoff that is

[prime orbit]

No I didn’t

They said not to do that one

The brass one

[stone elbow]

nah not on the brass, there's one in the middle but at the very bottom, i thought people installed one standoff there

[prime orbit]

There is a place to screw something in at the bottom

[stone elbow]

oh yeah tofu comes with triangle stickers you put on the triangles on the edges

[prime orbit]

Oh wait I forgot case foam lmao

Nvm

It doesn’t fit

[stone elbow]

dw you can still place it after the white donut stickers

[stone elbow]

which one

[prime orbit]

I used the wrong one

Tried this

Didn’t work

I think this is right no?

[polar girder]

Yes

Looks good

[prime orbit]

Ok cool

[stone elbow]

adjust this to the right completely

[prime orbit]

Now the donuts?

[polar girder]

Stock Wooting foam you can only use if you split it

[polar girder]

Yeah i just leave it loose and line it up then tighten it but whatever works

[prime orbit]

Ok it’s on the right

Now donuts

[stone elbow]

i've never done donut mount, so i can't help you there

[prime orbit]

So 2 standoffs are above the foam

2 aren’t

Is that fine?

[stone elbow]

if you weren't planning on using the extra standoffs, just leave it and don't screw in there

[prime orbit]

Ok

So just the 3

4

[stone elbow]

yup

[prime orbit]

And the donuts are for what exactly?

[stone elbow]

idk what kinda donuts you're refering too

the thin stickers?

[prime orbit]

The ones in the pic

Yeah

[stone elbow]

oh those are for preventing pinging when the pcb touches the standoff while typing

[prime orbit]

Do I need them

[stone elbow]

i would recommend having them

[prime orbit]

Kk

[prime orbit]

Ok it’s screwed in

Just switches

And keycaps

Right?

[stone elbow]

yeah

make sure the usb c port is usable

[prime orbit]

Shit

Gotta move it a little

[tough plover]

i need help, i will mod my 60he+ and idk if i need to buy something else ? (it's the first time i will mod my keyboard, i have the pcb and keycaps)

[stone elbow]

i'd get the geon raw he instead of jades mon ami :)

[stone flax]

get raws

🥱

[tough plover]

yeah i hesitate with them

[tough plover]

okay x)

[calm pulsar]

they're better jades

[exotic inlet]

Holy60 pc always catches my eye

[stone elbow]

what do holy60 cases sound like, they just let the sound go out

[exotic inlet]

#1271507310270742611 message

[prime orbit]

Almost done

[quiet bay]

sound test when ur done 😎

[prime orbit]

W?

[exotic inlet]

Good work

[stone elbow]

[prime orbit]

NO

My caps isn’t working

Or my A

Or S

Or W

nvm

unplugged it

worked

[stone flax]

[calm pulsar]

didnt you say you were going for a blackout build lol

[prime orbit]

yes

but the sword was cool

and i didnt feel like spending the $100 on the keycaps i want to get for my final build yet

[quiet bay]

now where that sound test at

[prime orbit]

uhhhh

with my iphone

?

lmao

[quiet bay]

sure

works

i do that

[prime orbit]

i gotta wait

phone at 2%

https://drop.com/buy/drop-gmk-white-on-black-katakana-custom-keycap-set

gonna have these eventually

[uneven cradle]

WoB

[prime orbit]

good right?

[tawdry tree]

You did well @prime orbit, gj!

[prime orbit]

man its scary LMAO

[tawdry tree]

😂😂

[prime orbit]

now i just need back stabalizers

[tawdry tree]

Get SW Knight V2 stabs if they’re in stock locally

Or wait for them to be in stock if they aren’t already.

There’s no hurry.

[prime orbit]

gold

gross

oh

imaghine looking at the optioins

could not be m,e

[prime orbit]

nomral or long pole?

[tawdry tree]

Looks good with the Black Knights, they have golden flakes too

[tawdry tree]

Normal

[prime orbit]

KK

[prime orbit]

gold is just a gross color to me is all

i usually just like black and white

[tawdry tree]

Haha, alright

You won’t see much of it

If at all

[prime orbit]

but but

hear me out

ill know its there

LMAo

[tawdry tree]

TRUEEEE

realest shit

[quiet bay]

Deeper version of Raw HE when 😔

tired of still hearing and feeling the wobble

[uneven cradle]

Embrace clack

[quiet bay]

when I get another keeb sure

but for now

I want a deeper sound on my 60he 😢

[uneven cradle]

Although the lekker v2s should be more of what you're looking for

[calm pulsar]

@tawdry tree do you know if BK upper works with Raw stem and lower?

[compact condor]

What's your guy's opinion on WS Dash compared to RAW HE's?

[prime orbit]

know of any good black ones?

[elfin garnet]

Did anyone buy evil dolch yet

[quiet bay]

honestly still just waiting on more sound tests for that

when people start modding their keebs with it

[uneven cradle]

General consensus has been the Raw HEs are better in basically every way - better lubed stock, better tolerances

And generally cheaper depending on shipping cost

[prime orbit]

$47 for the raw he

hmmmmmmm

i can wait lmao

[uneven cradle]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message a little discount if you buy direct from Geon

[prime orbit]

that's with the discount ^^

[uneven cradle]

Yeah shipping can be expensive

[quiet bay]

wait wth I didnt know he was here

[prime orbit]

$26

sadge

[uneven cradle]

Might be cheaper through a local retailer assuming they stock them

[prime orbit]

nothin is local

where im at

[quiet bay]

[uneven cradle]

I feel ya

[quiet bay]

free shipping coupon when

[uneven cradle]

Remote island kind of things 🏝

[quiet bay]

jk that'd be expensive

[prime orbit]

im in the states

somehow

[prime orbit]

yup

[bold dragon]

Let’s go

[compact condor]

Did my research. WS dash's are just Magnetic Jade clones.

[tawdry tree]

It does but no real benefit in that.

[uneven cradle]

Yep

[tawdry tree]

V1?

[uneven cradle]

Just a recolor

[exotic inlet]

And I don't know if it's true but they say the same about sticky rice and latenpow deng god

[uneven cradle]

You can't get them at divinikey?

[tawdry tree]

Not any that have a black wire and insert and that work with Woot.

[prime orbit]

$45

[prime orbit]

rip

i shall wait then

guess the keycaps are all i need left

[uneven cradle]

$0.62 ain't bad

Per switch

Cheaper then what I'll get them for 💸

[prime orbit]

can get seperate parts that arent gold?

[exotic inlet]

Can anyone confirm?

[shadow fern]

False

[stone flax]

how so

[shadow fern]

Latenpow are in cheap mag boards, Sticky Rice are nothing like Jades whatsoever

Neither of them are anything like Jades.

[stone flax]

???

Thats not what the guy is saying

Hes saying sticky rices and deng gods are recolors

In the same way dashes and jades are recolors

[exotic inlet]

Ye, someone the other day said that, that's why I'm asking

[shadow fern]

They aren’t the same

[stone flax]

????

This looks identical

Lmao

[exotic inlet]

Indeed

[shadow fern]

Let’s see the bottom

Not the same

Sticky rice is open, Laten’s are closed bottom. They also secure differently

[stone flax]

does this guy not know closed bottom sticky rices exist

[shadow fern]

Yawn.

[stone flax]

me at you

🥱

[shadow fern]

Nothing like playing with cheap switches

[stone flax]

nothing like feeling having a sense of superiority because u have expensive switches

LOL

[shadow fern]

Ok

[stone flax]

not like jades are anything to try and emulate anyways

raws>>>>>>

[shadow fern]

Odd to not specify any specifics and then start claiming specifics later into an argument

[stone flax]

convinced that ai language models are being tested in this server

[rustic forge]

Why raws over jades

[shadow fern]

Raw HE’s, Jade Pro’s, Clear Jades, Jade’s, step your game up

[fluid ravine]

[stone flax]

cheaper+better tolerances

[shadow fern]

lol

[fluid ravine]

reading chat be like

I swear I’m gonna get impatient wanting to go home just to open up my keebmat

“Drive faster mom!!”

[polar girder]

My plate awaits me also

[fluid ravine]

What chu getting again?

[pulsar plinth]

Where can I buy raws from?

[fluid ravine]

Got*

[quiet bay]

ohh it arrived?

[polar girder]

Nylon hype plate

[fluid ravine]

Yessir in the morning when I was at school

[polar girder]

But need my knight stabs lllolol

[fluid ravine]

Expected it tmr

[uneven cradle]

Quite a few places, which region you in?

[fluid ravine]

lol

[untold wigeon]

#1 raw he

#2 WS dash

[fluid ravine]

Have u ordered the stabs yet?

[untold wigeon]

You got it?

[pulsar plinth]

UK

[fluid ravine]

Yours tmr?

[untold wigeon]

Apparently

[compact condor]

They're both good

[fluid ravine]

Exciting

[stone flax]

Geonworks

[fluid ravine]

Everyone getting their stuff

[compact condor]

Just sound preference I guess you can say.

[pulsar plinth]

Thank u

[untold wigeon]

Yes but the Raws are tighter, less wobbly better sound. Half the price

[fluid ravine]

Cleaner sound*

[quiet bay]

and remember if ur NA you can buy raws from Divinikeys

[tawdry tree]

You can get black Durock wires but the inserts would still be gold.

[fluid ravine]

So much cheaper^

W

[uneven cradle]

Oh yeah that's a tough one not sure if there are any for the UK would most likely have to get them shipped

[untold wigeon]

Longer wait

[fluid ravine]

Oh yeah and that

[quiet bay]

I need me a part time job

[fluid ravine]

Oh man

Buy now get money later

[pure jetty]

Any high quality space bar stabilisers For the wooting?

[quiet bay]

gonna beg on my knees for money on my birthday 😂

[fluid ravine]

How soon

[quiet bay]

November

[fluid ravine]

Aw man

I’m a month after

Dec

[stone flax]

high quality, low quality, still needs tuning

[pulsar plinth]

Thought so but just thought I'd check if there was anywhere else before I pay $22 shipping

[stone flax]

Have u tuned urs?

[exotic inlet]

Raw he easy

[pure jetty]

Wdym tuning?

[stone flax]

use of lubricant and or wire balancing

[prime orbit]

Bro

Why does it keep sending

Yes, Latenpow Deng Gods are a Grain Gold - Sticky Rice recolor. They are identical, even the (bad) factory lube job is the same. Grain Gold’s Sticky Rices are not to be confused with Haimu’s Sticky Rices which come in an open and closed bottom variant whereas Grain Gold’s Sticky Rices only come in a closed bottom variant.

[quiet bay]

do you get a christmas present and bday present 😂

[pure jetty]

Is that for performance or sound?

[quiet bay]

sound

[fluid ravine]

Yes

[prime orbit]

Sadge

[stone flax]

removal of rattle/tick

[quiet bay]

oh shii whatd you get last year

[stone flax]

sound and feel

[fluid ravine]

One birthday I got a $500 bike as a bday gift and Christmas gift from my dad

[exotic inlet]

Thanks for clarifying

[fluid ravine]

Uhhh

[quiet bay]

DAYUM

which bike 😮

[stone flax]

@shadow fern

🥱

[fluid ravine]

Idk

I haven’t used it for so long

It’s still in good condition

[pure jetty]

I just care about performance I don’t care to much about sound

[tawdry tree]

Black Knights have gold in them, I think it’s fine tbh, even if you don’t like gold you’re still using Black Knights 😉

[quiet bay]

ohh what does it look like?

[stone flax]

why are u asking about a high quality stabilizer then

[fluid ravine]

Like dem speed bikes

[quiet bay]

like dis?

[pure jetty]

I thought better stabilisers better performance no?

[prime orbit]

But like I don’t even see the gold tbh

[fluid ravine]

Yea similar

[prime orbit]

It’s so shuttle

[stone flax]

????

[prime orbit]

Subtle

[stone flax]

stabs stabilize

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/jon-stewart-eat-eating-popcorn-watching-gif-5102037

Here he goes

[fluid ravine]

Idk what dem bikes called with the thin wheels

[untold wigeon]

Here he goes!

[quiet bay]

I wish I had one 😭

[stone flax]

what does it mean to stabilize

[quiet bay]

I'd probably go faster

[stone flax]

high quality

bruh

Just tune urs

[pure jetty]

I edited the message

[stone flax]

You want high quality stabilizers

[fluid ravine]

My dad uses a hybrid bike and my mom has a mountain bike

[stone flax]

Get the 300 dollar norbauer stabilizers

[quiet bay]

damn

biker family

I got hybrid bike

[tawdry tree]

It’s subtle yeah but it is there! I don’t really have a good picture of it but you can see it if you shine a light on them.

[quiet bay]

wtf

[fluid ravine]

That’s gud

[untold wigeon]

Absofreakinloutly

[quiet bay]

yee

I need something to put on my bike

to like

attach my backpack on it

cause the sweat on my back when I go to school is 💀

[pure jetty]

Are Better stabilisers better performance or not?

[stone flax]

what does that mean

[tawdry tree]

I’m dead

[stone flax]

Stabs just stab

They STAB

how do you stab with more stabbing performance

[untold wigeon]

@quiet bay

https://a.co/d/5FjQz1M

[fluid ravine]

Usually “better” stabilizers would mean easier to tune

[stone flax]

This

[pure jetty]

I don’t want to tune

[fluid ravine]

Gimme a sec

[untold wigeon]

So stabs just stabilize the keystroke. They add nothing to performance

[fluid ravine]

Well then ig you can use stock stabs and leave them alone

[quiet bay]

how can I attach backpack to this without it falling off

[prime orbit]

fdair

fair

[untold wigeon]

Bungee straps

[pure jetty]

But my ones broke when I took space bar keycap off

[fluid ravine]

May I see a pick

Just to make sure it’s not broken

If they’re broken then we can recommend you some stabs to replace it with

[untold wigeon]

That shouldn’t be possible should it?

[quiet bay]

ok thanks 🫡

[stone flax]

stabs inside thousand dollar prebuilts

would u spend three figures on stabs

[untold wigeon]

Those sound terrible

[quiet bay]

not when I can tune stabs myself 😭

[fluid ravine]

By chance it’s not broken
My theory would be the stem somehow came out of the stab housing as he pulled out the keycap

That happen to me a few time before with my old stabs

[stone flax]

https://youtu.be/Hwwtcn1CmfE?feature=shared one hour demo

[untold wigeon]

That was my thought as well

[fluid ravine]

But yeah just need a pic to make sure it ain’t broken

[stone flax]

norbauers a crazy little guy

[tawdry tree]

It’s more for bragging rights than functionality, let’s be real

[quiet bay]

300 dollars? Hell naw
30-40 dollars? Sure

[untold wigeon]

That’s not broken edit. I didn’t look close enough

[tawdry tree]

Tf

[stone flax]

i mean when u sell the things he’s selling and know the people buying his things

it kinda tracks

[tawdry tree]

Yeah

[fluid ravine]

Wait but it look like it is..

[stone flax]

$1000 case

[untold wigeon]

[stone flax]

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/chrisfarley-what-did-you-do-gif-5875362

[ionic breach]

he is just trying to perfecting a design

[fluid ravine]

@pure jetty can you take out the stabilizers?

[tawdry tree]

What is it about the case that makes it expensive? Or really just like a luxury brand that upcharges a shit ton?

The stabs I can understand, a lot of research and development went into them.

[pure jetty]

They alr are out

[stone flax]

He makes premium shit for topre which is already automatically expensive when looking into customization

[ionic breach]

premium as in?

[tawdry tree]

High quality I presume

[stone flax]

his mx stuff is bum af

[ionic breach]

a link?

ill check it out

[fluid ravine]

No like all of it

[stone flax]

https://www.norbauer.co its very corny

[tawdry tree]

If people buy it and support him, he’s doing something very well and that seems to be the case.

[ionic breach]

jesus

i pressed on the front page

[fluid ravine]

You managed to get a housing and 2 stems out but I need you to take out the other housing and wire

[stone flax]

also really easy to just shit on the fact he’s selling ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR CASES for an hhkb

😭

[untold wigeon]

Buy these

https://a.co/d/4ktxxzB

[stone flax]

talk about tryna be bespoke

omg

[pure jetty]

The wire like the metal thing?

[ionic breach]

nah i just skimmed the front page

that shit is overpriced

[fluid ravine]

Yes

You need to take out the switch first

[pure jetty]

It says 80%

[untold wigeon]

It’s fine

[fluid ravine]

@untold wigeon can u help him take it out

I’m not home rn

[untold wigeon]

Sure.

[fluid ravine]

Thanks

Ima brb

[pure jetty]

Ok

[stone flax]

its just a difference audience entirely

[tawdry tree]

Gucci in keyboards

[stone flax]

if a niche within a niche group thinks something will leas to their grail board

[ionic breach]

its just "lifestyle" branding

[untold wigeon]

Do you have your switch puller that came with your keyboard?

[pure jetty]

Yeah

[untold wigeon]

Do you know how to remove a switch?

[patent lion]

I just had my wooting module come in today. I had no idea the stabilizers came pre lubed!?

[untold wigeon]

They are but it can be better

[ionic breach]

[patent lion]

I have them out already, is it worth going another pass?

[ionic breach]

what is ur build like?

[patent lion]

I haven't put it together yet lol. Don't even have caps yet but I'm gonna put on some spares today. I got the blue alumaze case and the lekker 60 v2

[stone flax]

raws 🤐

[untold wigeon]

Is he the first one with v2s here?

[pure jetty]

Yes

[quiet bay]

its ok lekkers v2 sound pretty good

[untold wigeon]

So remove the switch and then unclip and rotate out the stabilizer

[ionic breach]

probably

not

[pure jetty]

I’m from Europe so I can’t get those would these work? https://amzn.eu/d/6N0vQZa or these whatever is better https://amzn.eu/d/gRwwFpz

[pure jetty]

Yep

[untold wigeon]

Top ones yes

[pure jetty]

Ok thanks

[uneven cradle]

We talking Norbauer theres always this affordable keyboard stand https://novelkeys.com/products/norbauer-space-dock

[untold wigeon]

Then you’re done until the new stabs get there and you reinstall them

[quiet bay]

What in the Apple of Keyboards

[stone flax]

are u stuck to only platemounts?

[quiet bay]

it doesnt even look that good

[ionic breach]

the audacity to include a designer

[pure jetty]

Ok thank you

[ionic breach]

like this would look good in a portfolio

[tawdry tree]

Durock V3 plate mounts are good. Do you have the 60HE or the 60HE+?

[quiet bay]

I'd rather get this 💀

[pure jetty]

What’s plate mounts

[quiet bay]

holds 3 keyboards

55 bucks

[untold wigeon]

He has the steel plate on his. I’m trying to not make it complicated

[untold wigeon]

No problem

[stone flax]

tbh i think hes fried

just give him ez choice

[tawdry tree]

That’s too fairly priced, can’t have that now. You know better.

[untold wigeon]

I did

[quiet bay]

[untold wigeon]

Be nice

[tawdry tree]

Yeah fair.

[stone flax]

https://chosfox.com/products/designer-studio-100-plate-mount-stabilizer i love u designer studio

[pure jetty]

Idk

[tawdry tree]

Are these on amazon?

[tawdry tree]

No problem.

[untold wigeon]

The ones you picked. The first listing are fine. Get those

[pure jetty]

Ok thanks

[stone flax]

they should be

too good

[untold wigeon]

When do I get my community helper role. I’m constantly killing it out here.

[exotic inlet]

You need to buy 100 members the 80he

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/im-the-boss-im-a-boss-like-a-boss-zoolander-ben-stiller-gif-4469982

[untold wigeon]

Pfffft. None of you deserve it.

[exotic inlet]

🤣

[exotic inlet]

Are you going to get it or just happy with the 60HE

[untold wigeon]

Was thinking of selling my 60he fully customized and getting the 80. I’m waiting for like 6 months to see where the modding community goes with it.

[ionic breach]

https://youtu.be/ozCVs3VmOQE?t=604 gasket deluxe 👀

[exotic inlet]

That's a nice idea actually, I'm curious about the future cases

[stone flax]

too bad so sad sounds bad

cool desk piece tho

or conversation piece

[untold wigeon]

I’m waiting on plates, and cases. I want a specific sound. It also depends on how wide it is. Real estate is at a premium on my table top.

[quiet bay]

I would sell my 60he

but case is kinda scratched

also no way to sell it tbh lol

[untold wigeon]

eBay, FB marketplace

[quiet bay]

pretty sure im banned from fb marketplace cause of age 😂

[untold wigeon]

Repaint or cover it with vinyl

[untold wigeon]

Oof

[quiet bay]

yee but idk about spray painting aluminum cases

[tawdry tree]

You’d sell a used oreo? 😧

[untold wigeon]

Award winning used Oreo. Get it right!!!

[tawdry tree]

TRUEEEE

[prime orbit]

should rapid trigger be on for all keys?

[quiet bay]

personal preference

I have it on all keys tho lol

[tawdry tree]

Easier to set it to all keys than to only the keys you use when gaming.

[untold wigeon]

Which of your keys need rapid trigger? Put it on those

[prime orbit]

well i copied TenZ profile which has it on wasd only

[tawdry tree]

I always write “that” when I wanna say “than”

[prime orbit]

so i wasnt sure

[tawdry tree]

now that’s just wrong

Every key you use when gaming benefits from RT

not only WASD

[cedar gate]

Make sure WASD is more sensitive tho

[untold wigeon]

Because I’m really busy tomorrow Saturday I will be doing my plate, stabs, and killmat . I can stream it if anyone is interested

[fluid ravine]

I’m interested

But depends on what time, I got church school on sat

[untold wigeon]

Probably early afternoon

[celest parrot]

Does anyone know how much the gmk cosmos set will cost?

[fluid ravine]

@dapper hazel

[dapper hazel]

three thousand years later

[quiet bay]

[fluid ravine]

Holy shit it made a difference

[dapper hazel]

;)

[fluid ravine]

MUCH LOVE @dapper hazel

Oh my

The coaster is cute

[stone elbow]

[fluid ravine]

I'll be taking photos in a bit

And send a sound tesy

Test

[untold wigeon]

Just annoyed at the enter bar

They didn’t give me the UK version one and I can’t find it anywehere

[stone elbow]

Ask them to send you the iso enter, if it was their mistake and you selected iso, they might send it to you

[celest parrot]

Also how many switches to get for the 80HE?

[fluid ravine]

you want with and without?

[ionic breach]

nah

it depends on demand

maybe compare similar interest checks and make a guess?

[stone flax]

lets go to the diddy party

[fluid ravine]

@dapper hazel @quiet bay

oh shi mb it didnt send

give it a second

yey

[thorn zealot]

U alr got ur keebmat???

[fluid ravine]

yessir

[thorn zealot]

Mine still hasn’t came yet

Bullshit

[quiet bay]

yes yes much better

[fluid ravine]

damn

[quiet bay]

no more desk reverberation

[fluid ravine]

yessir

now that's a something that could make my board sound a bit brighter

[dapper hazel]

very nice!

wish you wouldve taken the keebtape too :P

[stone elbow]

oh my keebmat arrived in canada it seems like

[fluid ravine]

not a big fan of tape mod anymore

but keebtape cool tho

[polar girder]

@flat cobalt I didnt realize that first artisan cosmos collab already dropped. RIP

[dapper hazel]

not the same ;) maybe next time :)

[polar girder]

https://lavenderbeecaps.com/products/gmk-cosmos-hani

I missed it

[flat cobalt]

Oh what was it

[fluid ravine]

lul

wait

[flat cobalt]

Wtf I thought they were gonna sell them on Cannonkeys

I'm not getting anything now

[fluid ravine]

" It is a thick and heavy but very soft material that acts as a sound and vibration dampener."
Is this what you mean @dapper hazel

[dapper hazel]

yep

its 1mm thick, its not "tape" ;)

[fluid ravine]

i see..

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m an artisan virgin but I think they’re sold all separate through the vendor that creates them

[fluid ravine]

i really thought that was a precut tape mod

[polar girder]

Just that one Salvun artisan is on Canonkeys

[dapper hazel]

nah

[fluid ravine]

i really shouldve look at the description

thats interesting

[dapper hazel]

:)

[flat cobalt]

Sooooooo lame

[fluid ravine]

Now onto a new plate and prob work on my stabs :>

[fluid ravine]

Thanks again on filling me with info with the mat materials

[quiet bay]

i wanan try pp plate

and obviously get new switches

but erm

[fluid ravine]

I heard PP interesting

[quiet bay]

who knows when that'll happen

[fluid ravine]

much flexier than PC but has poppiness

[stone flax]

Get it

[fluid ravine]

man am broke

[stone flax]

hi broke

[polar girder]

I like PP

[dapper hazel]

i always liked pom, soft and thocky

[polar girder]

excited to try nylon

[fluid ravine]

i just want CF rn

[polar girder]

It’s not too light grey. Could look great with cosmos

Yeah you should try CF or FR4 maybe

[fluid ravine]

As a life of a 15 y/o, i can't buy everything i wish for right now

[fluid ravine]

yeah CF and FR4 has been on my mind lately

been leaning onto CF

[polar girder]

For sure

I want it just cuz it looks cool

[fluid ravine]

Although i have all the information i need, i still want to do a in depth research

haha

[stone flax]

test

Did u forgive me pookie

🥺

[thorn zealot]

U think I should get cf after I get my alu plate

[fluid ravine]

Hmmm

alu is great tbh, moderate sounding plate

[thorn zealot]

Some people say alu is the most lively sounding plate

[fluid ravine]

yup

[thorn zealot]

And others say cf is higher

So idk

[fluid ravine]

i mean that is true

[dapper hazel]

harder = higher pitched usually

[fluid ravine]

CF is the brightest plate of the bunch

and the stiffest i suppose

[thorn zealot]

Actually nah ima stick with alu

I feel if u go for too much brightness

Ur kb sounds thin

[fluid ravine]

well depends on the switch and mount as well

[lusty nova]

Is the zeal domo diy switch opener* good for breaking open v2 lekker switches for lighter springs?

[thorn zealot]

Yes but yk

[fluid ravine]

any switch opener will work fine

[thorn zealot]

Off topic but who’s excited for new nfl season

[fluid ravine]

not me :D

i dont watch football

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-hmm-gif-2748512355730790146

[fluid ravine]

i sometime watch highlights with my dad

but i dont watch sports that often

i just play

[lusty nova]

He means poly propylene.

[fluid ravine]

He knows

[untold wigeon]

I know

[thorn zealot]

What u play

[lusty nova]

Why don't they use PTFE or Nylon for switch cylinders?

[fluid ravine]

Volleyball

I got out of practice 2 hrs ago

[thorn zealot]

Nice

I watch all the major sports besides soccer

Football, basketball, baseball, hockey

[stark osprey]

Looks cool, but expensive for what it is, even on sale.

[lusty nova]

If I want my Wooting Two HE to have a more subdued tock. Should I use ResoNix Mega CLD sound dampening between the bottom case layer and PCB?

[polar girder]

Yeah it’s a bummer cuz the frog one would’ve been perfect for frog mini

Ah well

[lusty nova]

So bad switch splitter. Got it.

[stark osprey]

Really like this, fast for opening switches for me. https://deskr.co/products/gateron-switch-opener?srsltid=AfmBOooGDdHxZSvK6kdCRVAgnx4RNMnPv-eFhaqmQr1oAXymahxlip-h Still on sale.

[quiet bay]

[fluid ravine]

[cold bloom]
