you can just adjust to 4mm and it will be same at 3.5mm since it's just 0-100%

#

so just pretend you have 0-4mm switches

neat thorn
#

does this mean the 1.5mm travel distance is the same 1.5mm for every switches ?

#

or actuation point.

glacial wind
#

just pretend the bar says 0-100% press

neat thorn
glacial wind
#

so more than 1.8mm

neat thorn
#

Ah ok, thx for clarification!

spark mantle
neat thorn
#

actuation point at 4mm = 3,5mm(GEON Raw HE Switch) pepe_uhm

glacial wind
#

well 3.4mm since geon raw is 3.4mm not 3.5mm like jade

Hey all I’ve been off discord for a while and curious what the HE switch meta is these days? Currently still using the Jades I ordered back in February.

#

Oh wow haven’t heard of these until very recently. Better than Raptor’s?

very much so

Does Wooting help customers build their customized modded keyboard with items chosen on the Wooting website after the purchase, or you have to do it by yourself?

#

there's guides for how to assemble too - it's very easy

So after paying everything, raws were more expensive than Jades, 50€ for raws (price + shipping) + 30€ (customs and TAX)

glacial wind
#

Oof that tax. I guess that’s unfortunate due to specific country

glacial wind
#

Is this an eu thing? You guys have some crazy tax

#

My order was €59 for 90 switches and €18 for customs

That’s more tax than my whole 80he order coming to Korea lol

Hey there, i finished my upgrade for the OG Wooting 60he with an alumaze60 swap and the lekker v2 switches. Everything was pretty easy and i connected the keyboard with my pc. Now i got some issues because the usb-c cable won‘t fit all the way in and only the enter key works.

Did i damaged something?

18.67 customs

glacial wind
#

Man you guys have some crazy fees

wraith widget
#

So 59 converted + 18.67 duties... say 79 euro all in

remote cairn
glacial wind
#

at least your wooting store shipping isn’t bad so you have that going for you

might just to to korea and buy raws and go back dogekek

remote cairn
#

but I got this lovely email today

glacial wind
#

We do get the first release geon stuff cheap lol

wraith widget
glacial wind
#

I think initial release of raw he here was like $30 shipped for 90 raw he in Korea

remote cairn
#

I thought I would only tax but customs have got my back

wraith widget
#

In reality you should be paying your country's sales tax (20%? ish) + maybe 5 euro admin fee

#

France is 20% yeah

remote cairn
#

So it would have been +10€ which is fine

#

but nah

wraith widget
#

DHL are charging you so much extra

#

Idk why

versed delta
remote cairn
glacial wind
remote cairn
#

Last time I imported something that was 200€ I paid 50€ of customs/tax

wraith widget
glacial wind
#

It needs to be both centered and also when you screw it in you want to push upwards against the top of the case to make sure it’s got room for the usb cable to push in fully

wraith widget
#

Although to be fair 20% of €200 is €40 😂

glacial wind
#

Otherwise you can end up with the port being too recessed and the usb cable can’t get a good connection

remote cairn
#

this is the "explanation"

wraith widget
#

but 20% of 53 USD is... not €30

remote cairn
#

not at all

#

do you pay that much?

#

nahhh, I'd send it back

wraith widget
# remote cairn

The actual tax is €9.66... they are charging you an extra €20 for some strange reason... there shouldn't really be any further charges on such a small item so I assume DHL is charging you that for just admin

remote cairn

#

Let's round it up to 30 euros

#

Seems fair

I couldn't get the english version

Except my admin fee was 5 euro and yours 20

my tax is slightly higher at 23%

remote cairn
#

I would prefer a slightly higher tax than this amount of admin fees

wraith widget
#

just seems like some lazy people at dhl france being greedy with fees

#

how they are charging 20 euros for maybe 5 minutes of work is crazy Kekw

#

so it's not geon's fault it's dhl france scamming you basically, although maybe they should offer you a different delivery option

Does anyone have a picture of how the l45 v2 box look like? Just wanted to ensure I received the correct version in my mailbox

What plate and stabs?

calm pulsar
#

looks like original frog mini alu plate

silver ingot
#

Yeah it's just a frog mini with the stock plate. Stabs are TXv4 AP

calm pulsar
polar girder
#

Yeah that’s wild. Nice dude

silver ingot
#

I will say the black night switches DEFINITELY sound more quiet than the jades cus of the bottom hole

silver ingot
#

but i like the top housing being black a lot more

#

I have a PP plate from hype ordered but who knows how long thatll take

calm pulsar
#

waiting for raws and my frog mini now tho

exotic inlet
silver ingot
#

I might frankenswitch it

calm pulsar
# silver ingot oh is it good

tbh it might be too tight at times, and you'll have to clean the oil lube before combining with the jade stem, cause there might be too much friction

#

@silver ingot but that's how it sounds in my friction mounted freebird60 and fr4 plate

silver ingot
#

not bad

calm pulsar
#

it reduces wobble compared to usual jades and sounds cleaner

#

nah you don't need to change stabs

#

black knights are the same 4mm travel as lekkers

silver ingot
#

tbh from typing on it i think i believe it

#

they might just be 4mm

#

china is weird

calm pulsar
# silver ingot

on HE switches the travel is usually reduced by adding some plastic that would seal the bottom and reduce travel

since BKs have open bottom I think they have the full travel

#

but its weird that specs say 3.6

#

black knights sound pretty much like lekkers, just a bit lower pitched

exotic inlet
#

Not me

polar girder
#

They’re totally different sound profiles

calm pulsar
#

couldnt be me haha

polar girder
#

I don’t own jades but I also have zero interest in owning them. Because I have black knight and prefer them

exotic inlet
#

There is a sound test from Sander o nthe Wooting channel that you can use to compare the sound between Black knights, lekker v2, Jade and Geon Raw

calm pulsar
#

jades/geon raws are closed bottom, which have a feeling closer to conventional MX switches

lekkers/black knights are open bottom, which sound quieter overall and have no pronounced bottom out

silver ingot
#

i like the housings and the push feel is a lil better methinks but thats my first impression

polar girder
#

Yeah

#

Tried TX AP plate mount but didn’t work with my plate

#

Sadge

silver ingot
#

theres a lot of harshness from bottoming out on the alu plate for my fingers

#

since ther mounting style is pretty stiff with the default tadpoles

#

i had some fatigue from jades

#

id have to spend more time with the black knights but they might be similar

#

tho switches have very little bearing on making a typing feel more soft

polar girder
#

Don’t think so

#

Yeah jades suck

#

I can’t hate on Raws. But I’ll hate on Jades lol

polar girder
#

Yeah true

#

But they don’t suck

Jade Pro vs Geon RAW HE switches.
Must say, pretty impressed with the Jade Pro's. They sound a lil less clacky then the Geons. But then again. Why do they have green housing. 😭

#

From 0:00 to 0:14 is Jade Pro. From 0:14 to 0:27 is the Geon RAW HE's

exotic inlet

exotic inlet
#

How are them regarding touch?

loud gull
#

Wobble is fairly similar. Maybe the a lil tad bit better. But honestly, I wouldn't care much lol. Feel is also similar from the quick tests. Though spring weight is different so that also influenced it a bit.

oh my lord yeah i just checked

calm pulsar

shipping can be expensive tho, but for most ppl its still cheaper than a pack of jades

exotic venture

60HE is 61 key if im not mistaken, and you can buy the Raws individually and its under $30 before shipping

Shipping for jades is still a lot

@untold wigeon it's going to be me in the beginning of the video when my raws and the frog arrivedogekek

I was not pleased; Cherry MX Browns have no EFFECTIVE tactility; not a 'light tactility' kind of experience more a crunchy linear. 2/10, not trying again.

Are there actually low profiles cases for the 60%?
Wanna try to see if I can make a really low 60HE with the jade minis

A low profile 60he would be really neat

but there are some lower profile aluminum cases I've seen on aliexpress, they have generic names like gh60 aluminum case

# untold wigeon bro why so cheap what country you live in.

U.S.A. has the largest economy in the world and the second biggest gdp behind China. I don’t understand what you think you’re getting at. Price reflects what I put into the board. Markups aren’t appropriate as at this point it’s used.

calm pulsar

this reminds me that I have to rebuild my non plus 60he and sell it

not sure what it might include though

untold wigeon
untold wigeon
calm pulsar
#

but it still can be someone's joke lol

teal geode
#

would beige keycaps look good in a grey case?

calm pulsar
#

generally krytox is for stab housings and grease is for lubing the metal wire

#

it does, but it's good if you are able to add extra lube in case your stabs are ticking

#

making noises

fluid ravine
calm pulsar
#

unwanted noises

fluid ravine
#

or pretty much all colors

calm pulsar
#

I think any cheap dielectric would work

#

yes

#

if you're getting the prebuild wooting it comes with plate mount stabs

#

60he+ module comes with screw-in stabs installed

#

did you order jades from wooting?

#

then what you have are long pole stems, you can use them on the screw-in stabs to avoid the issue where keycap moves around when you press on the sides

#

better watch videos on that lol

stone flax
#

wire makes sound due not being level perdominantly on the unbalanced side

#

different to rattling which is just due to the wire bouncing around the housing and making noise because theres no grease to stop it from doing so

#

or sounds made by the stab housings having friction

#

platemounted?

#

remove switch

#

push clip

#

push housing upward

stone flax
#

prebuilt 60he?

#

no

#

should be plate mount

#

also ur not getting new stabs with the jades

#

just taller stab stems to compensate for the jades reduced travel

#

unless u meant u also bought screw-ins

#

disassemble stab

#

take out regular stab stem from housing

#

put in new one

#

reassemble

#

it should still be platemoubt

#

only thing ur swapping is the stabilizer stem

#

id take loctite over this

#

permatex seperates too easily

#

read what i wrote

#

not gonna bother repeating

#

ffs

#

💀

calm pulsar
#

just look at the stabilizer

#

you can take out the stem

#

and put in the other

#

ofc wire needs to be removed before that

stone flax
#

Its literally not hard

#

😭

calm pulsar
#

me too relatively but I mean there's one way everything is assembled lol

stone flax
#

make sure the side of the stem with two holes is where the wire clips into

#

Wire clips into this

#

Not this

teal geode
stone flax
#

i dont see why not

teal geode
stone flax
#

no

#

spring oil matters least

#

oil for spring < grease for wire < lube for switch

#

in terms of pickiness

teal geode
#

i need a syringe

stone flax
#

for what?

teal geode
#

to lube stabs better

stone flax
#

plugging the butt is maintenance and further tuning

#

nothing u do off rip requires a syringe

#

its a nice to have

but need is stretching it

calm pulsar
stone flax
#

it will achieve the same thing

just more wasteful and time consuming

nice, I have it too but when it was on the way I ordered the frog mini, so haven't bothered to use it in my current case lol

stone flax
#

break in even the tiniest amount is nice

#

ur killing the chance of naturally letting the stem and housing smoothen by just rubbing over with extra lube

#

but i think thats more an mx thing

calm pulsar
#

yeah I understand your point, I will actually take your advise

I was more just going with the joke of raws getting touched as soon as they arrivedogekek

#

but yeah some ppl mentioned too that raws are very good stock

stone flax
#

They are

calm pulsar
#

then I will just take the pleasure of building the board and enjoying it right away

#

tho I will need to tune the stabs

harsh dove
#

And they feel noticeably different after use vs the factory stock ones I do still have

calm pulsar
#

btw @harsh dove do you think TX AP long pole stems would work with other stabs? I have the stock module ones and cherry clip ins

lol just assembled a cherry clip in with TX AP long pole stem

calm pulsar

seems like it just works, moves around freely

fluid ravine

it feels like TX AP stems are a better fit to the cherry clip-in housings than the cherry stems xd

calm pulsar

yeah I will try building with these once my case is here

#

should be on 15th

#

wait im trying to fit the tx ap stab housings into the kbdfans alu plate and it fits perfectly

so no need to even use cherry clip in housings in it

I hope the frog plate is the same

I’m having slight binding issues too. I’m hoping it’ll smooth out over time

cold bloom

it sounds like it's probably the plate variance but def odd

untold wigeon

Stabs binding

#

Length wise was the problem. Side to side they were fine

#

If I had to guess probably by 1/4 to 1/2 a mm

Didn’t want to break the plate

so black knights arent 4mm travel for sure?

Measured 4.05mm average across 10 switches.

When you buy v2 switches. Are they lubed or do you need to brush on Krytox 205G0 grease on the magnetic shaft, springs, and twin rails when the switch moves up/down?

if it is not to ur liking

you could always lube it urself

@tawdry tree these housing swapped knights look sick

hi I just got my 60he and wanted to put side printed keys on it but noticed the switches are north facing...
how big of a difference would it be if I changed to south facing? or the leds are still going to be strongly dimmed?
p.s. I have zero experience with hotswap kbs

stone flax
#

reversing the switch wont change that

calm pulsar
sullen bay
#

I see, thanks

calm pulsar
#

iirc there is no issue with keycap compatibility

stone flax
#

to answer that

#

it wont

sullen bay
stone flax
#

led’s are north facing

stone flax
calm pulsar
stone flax
#

its barely an issue in the common day

#

only tends to happen on specific switches on specific keycaps (mainly cherry profile)

#

most common switches nowadays are molded in a way to prevent that for northfacing orientations

calm pulsar

yeah the he ones I think all work with no interference so all good

stone flax

yeah

I feel like they could with a optical diffuser layer on the bottom of the keycap.

3203 or 3204

fluid ravine
#

isn't 3204 like thinner?

#

or made for tactiles?

quiet bay
calm pulsar
fluid ravine
#

popularity wise, pretty sure 205g0 is best for all switches and all that

#

even tho some articles state that it's best for linear switches

#

and like 3204 is for tactile

uneven cradle
#

can't find keyboards on the website thinkiiing

fluid ravine
#

iirc 3204 is like more fluid than 205g0

calm pulsar

c:

lube is lube

fluid ravine
#

well i dont think it's gud for stabs

#

just a guess

#

cus the lube would just drip onto the pcb

#

just from guessing

#

not really

#

idk what im sayinfg

quiet bay
#

if 205g0 mutes raws too much then wot about 3203 thonk

fluid ravine
#

the raws sound fine when lubed

#

just use a thin application on the top housing and bottom housing

#

(i just finished lubing my alphas with the tiny shim of lube i have in my jar)

quiet bay
#

now im curious

#

i wanna lube raws with thinner lube

Hmm wonder what was delivered today

he parts do get broken in fast so I would just use 205g0

#

cherry mx red switches are 45g right?

stone flax
#

bottom out?

#

nah

regal nest
#

i have no idea, im trying to figure out which type of raws i need to get. looked up the force for cherrys and i find different values

#

so no clue what im comparing against

stone flax
#

actuation of 45

#

bottom out of 60ish

#

get 60's

regal nest
#

so the 60 on geons is bottom out force?

stone flax
#

yeah

#

it wouldnt make sense for it to be actuation force

fluid ravine
regal nest
#

ill get 50s then, even though ive been using these cherrys for a few years i always found them to tough

fluid ravine
#

yeah like actuation force is 45 and bottom out force is like 55-60, smth like that

regal nest
#

just to confirm, if i want lighter switches then go for 50s or 40s even?

fluid ravine
#

50g is a sweetspot personally

#

but my preference is 60-70g

#

thanks a bunch. now another question kekw 😄 anyone here ordered from geon directly and tell me how high the handling fees were?

cause im not giving dhl 20€ for scratching their balls

fluid ravine

im typing on some 20mm 53g springs

very noice

regal nest

germany to be specific

fluid ravine
#

you should check on their website

regal nest
#

i read through the channel here and someone in france paid 20€ handling fees alone

fluid ravine
#

mine was $25

#

wait i forgot actually

#

$18-25

#

price slowly went up but idk how much i paid during the time

regal nest
#

yeah this is like a no deal for me. i didnt knew about this handling fee shit until i once ordered something from japan

fluid ravine
#

CAM's shipping was up to like $60

regal nest
#

i was so pissed at that

fluid ravine
#

so did him a "favor" and got it ordered to my place so i can send it out to him

regal nest
#

60$ for handling fees alone?!

fluid ravine
#

yeah

regal nest
#

fuck my life dude

#

the higher up at dhl be swimming in gold bricks

fluid ravine

lol

#

well atleast i got mine in 2 days

#

so it's pretty cheap i'd say

#

like in my situation, it would be if you're willingly pay it

regal nest

id rather pay geon 20€ extra instead of paying dhl for handling the tax payment lol

Long story short, I’m left handed and have major carpel tunnel so it affects my ain. Decided to ditch my mouse to play go GOATED and although I couldn’t turn, I won literally every fight I could see in front me with just my keyboard

So eureka hit me that if I could turn 360 on keyboard, I’d be onto something great for competitive play

I was playing right hand mouse but with carpel was using space bar to shoot on my redesign
