[fluid ravine]

5mm stock

[drifting grotto]

Love u thank u

[fluid ravine]

[glacial wind]

freebird60

[foggy rain]

Might be a dumb question but what are the extra key caps that come with the wooting60he are they different than the ones already pre installed?

Ah ok thx

[red lodge]

For the uwu does anyone know if I can use geon raw he switches with it?

[glacial wind]

Where was that guy who wanted people to measure that square area lol

[inland saddle]

My search for a premium case is going terribly does anyone know any good cases that are actually in stock and I won’t have to keep looking for a used one I am getting desperate price range is like 300€

[granite comet]

@radiant tide

[cyan zodiac]

yes

[iron bear]

Do anyone know if the Glorious switches work with the Wooting boards?

[wraith widget]

Don't think it's been tested yet as they're so new

[iron bear]

Ok, saw that they have some quiet switches so was thinking I'd order some

[glacial wind]

there's the gateron silent but not really silent switches too

[cyan zodiac]

Glorious switches?

[iron bear]

https://www.gloriousgaming.com/en-eu/products/panda-he-switches

[wraith widget]

The new Glorious HE keyboard came out very recently

[cyan zodiac]

ahh i see

honestly won't bother

just go with jade or raw he

[tawdry tree]

Good to hear man!

[wraith widget]

The GMMK 3 HE is pretty interesting, you can use both HE and normal mechanical switches on the same PCB

[iron bear]

Want some silent switches so Jade or Raw are not alternatives

[tawdry tree]

🔥🔥

[tawdry tree]

LOL! For that price it is quite literally cheaper to buy the Gamakay with Silent Phoenixes just to use the switches.

They look to be the exact same switches which is even funnier.

Same manufacturer I should say.

[iron bear]

Yeah

[tawdry tree]

You could wait for Gateron’s Silent switches as well but as of right now, the Silent Phoenixes are the best silent magnetic switches out there.

[bronze quartz]

qaligner stop bullying people please

[tawdry tree]

Gateron’s most likely won’t be quieter either.

[tawdry tree]

😧😧😧

If by people you mean Glorious, I won’t ever stop I swear!

😈

[iron bear]

Where's the info about the silent Gaterons?

[bronze quartz]

i have blueprints i can send u

[tawdry tree]

They haven’t been officially released yet

[bronze quartz]

on how u build them on ur own

[tawdry tree]

LOL

[tawdry tree]

It’ll basically be a Gateron Zero Degree

Here’s a video about them. It isn’t great but it’s something. @iron bear #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[tawdry tree]

Soooooo earlyyyy!!!

😍

[cyan zodiac]

gateron silent is your only option

[tawdry tree]

Not the only option, but buying a board just for the switches feels wasteful.

Especially when the board isn’t really good at all.

😂

[wraith widget]

The Glorious HE switches don't have the same casing

The switches we used on Wooting have 2 pins to push into the PCB

The Glorious have 0

They might work but they won't be stable and might be moving all over the place 😂

[tawdry tree]

If they’re the same as the Outemus and Phoenixes (which they look to be), they’ll be stable enough to use with Wooting’s boards.

With mounting pins is better, but not the end of the world.

[wraith widget]

Yeah... they'd have a fair amount of wiggle though

They seme to wiggle a lot even on the board it was made for

People usually buy switches that might improve that not make it worse 😅

[iron bear]

Have to check out the Gaterons later but will probably just wait for them to release 🕵️👍

[pine tiger]

which switches have the least wobble?

[glacial wind]

raw he or gateron jade pros

raw he are significantly cheaper though (assuming you buy locally)

[pine tiger]

which sound best out of the 2? and do they need to be lubed?

[glacial wind]

they're very similar sound and both are factory lubed

you can hand lube again yourself of course

most folks would recommend raw he just because they're both very similar switches with similar sound profiles but jade pros are way pricier

[pine tiger]

i see, thanks for the info

they have jades on the wooting site, are those the pros? (doesn't say pro anywhere in the description)

[glacial wind]

no, those are the older ones

[pine tiger]

good to know, thank you

[glacial wind]

jade pros are only from gateron site as far as I know, they're like $70 + ship for 90 iirc

raw he is via divinikey (us), delta key (eu) or geon (asia/worldwide)

[pine tiger]

thanks for supplier info, ill take a look

[young lantern]

what yall think about the jade max sound profile? it sounds a little deeper

theres a sound test on reddit

does the raw he have the longer spring too? just the max right?

[glacial wind]

Sounds okay, but not super interested at $1 a switch personally

Maybe if I used rgb it might be more interesting to me

[young lantern]

i agree but the switch rebound 😅

is there anywhere to buy longer springs for the raw? mine are already otw

[glacial wind]

Just buy springs if you want to min/max springs. They’re like $5 you can change any switch to whatever spring you want

[glacial wind]

Aliexpress

The whole rebound thing is negligible and doesn’t really matter though

I really don’t think min maxing your springs is the way to go for switches personally

[young lantern]

i just like the feel tbh

[glacial wind]

there's a bunch on aliexpress if you really want to spring swap. Even dual stage ones

[boreal latch]

did you guys lube your gateron jades?

[cyan zodiac]

yes

[glacial wind]

i did, but i hand lube/fix up the lube on all of my switches regardless of factory lube

[cyan zodiac]

sound alot better

[boreal latch]

i really dont wanna do it lmao

[cyan zodiac]

then don't

[young lantern]

i just spread the factory lube

if you wanna do halfway instead of all in

mine had a decent amount already tho

[boreal latch]

maybe i do it at some point, first i wanna install the pc plate and new keycaps

[young lantern]

king

im pretty sure theres a big majority of people that dont/havent

you could always do it in the future it isnt that difficult to take the pcb apart

[glacial wind]

btw not sure which sound test you were comparing, but the max sound higher to me https://www.youtube.com/clip/Ugkx1F5D8FXA630CObd-ArWXN45APur95e6R

[young lantern]

hm its the reddit one

ill link it

https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/comments/1fg2jng/gateron_jade_pro_and_jade_max_soundtest/

[glacial wind]

oh it's phone sound from far away

yeah going to be hard to pick up stuff from that

i'll just go with the geon one

both sound fine though, but still wouldn't buy them for the increased price when raw he does same thing

[wraith widget]

think I prefer the jade pros there 😅

[whole ember]

so since I soon have a bunch of extra switches from the 80HE, I am thinking of building a macro keyboard with something like a Pi Pico, does anyone ever done something with a hall sensor to build their HE keyboard?

[west creek]

not on the wooting, but new gateron magnetic switches sound test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-pKEhkaIcY&t=295s

[rocky folio]

Buying my geon raw he, should i taje 40, 50 or 60 g ?

[ionic breach]

whichever you prefer

[rocky folio]

Damn

[ionic breach]

just base it off whatever you are on rn

if you want lighter, go lighter

if u like it, stay and get the closest

[rocky folio]

Only been on A SINGLE KEYBOARD FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE

[ionic breach]

thats enuf

[rocky folio]

👍

[ionic breach]

what do u think about that weight?

[rocky folio]

Idk its a shitty gx blue clicky

[ionic breach]

thats closest to the 60s

[celest parrot]

I'm willing to buy the gmk cosmos set, is the base kit enough for the 80HE ansi version?

[rocky folio]

But i think i will stay on 50gf as i dont want accidental inputs or pain

[ionic breach]

ya probably

[ionic breach]

yes 100%

[celest parrot]

Ty mang

[jade storm]

blank?

[ionic breach]

nah

one min

its cool asf

very subtle and looks like a space pic

[jade storm]

def would get in blank

hell yes

[boreal latch]

Would you guys use silicone or poron with the pc switch plate. Whole thing goes in a tofu 60 redux

[rustic frost]

Hey would anyone be willing to send/sell me an original “Take Control” yellow Wooting strap? I’m planning to buy the module with Alumaze case but REALLY want the yellow strap🙏 (pls @ me)

[gusty patio]

they sound alright, but still dont have the feeling that any of them stands out here

[fluid ravine]

All up to you actually, I recommend trying all 3 configurations with the plate foam to see what you like on your board best.

Poron, silicone, none

I personally use none

[polar girder]

Nylon I think

[fluid ravine]

That's a good one

[radiant lance]

Anyone know cheap KeyCaps sellers in Europe?

[polar girder]

I’m sure there’s some proprietary plastics that would work too

Or blends or whatever

[fluid ravine]

Oh ye for sho

[radiant lance]

I only found 40€+ keycaps sets

[stone flax]

shenpo/ghost judges/aifei/on sale nicepbt

[boreal latch]

Ty I'm going to try silicone first

[wary yarrow]

I own lekker v1, gugu black knight, gateron jade, geon raw he switches

out of the box the geon raw are by far the best in my opinion

[glacial wind]

another satisfied conversion

glory to geon and all that he touches

[chilly mural]

you gonna start a religion

[robust siren]

it as already been made

[wary yarrow]

the tolerances are just that much better

in the v1 lekker I can fit 2 layers of medical tape around the top housing for X axis wobble, 1 layer for jade, geon just don't need any

[frosty storm]

hi guys, can someone tell me where i can buy some good qual keycaps cuz ain't want to get cheap ass one :) (ty)

[stone flax]

shenpo/ghost judges/aifei/on sale nicepbt

All sub $50ish

Some 30

[frosty storm]

ty i guess :) i will check

[stone flax]

Some 10-20

[robust siren]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[frosty storm]

ty

[boreal latch]

i gotta say im very happy with these glorious keycaps, they dont bleed light at all and i cranked it up to 100%

i think the set is called nebula, its purple and pink shades

[stone flax]

gloros

[rustic frost]

PCB Mount Stabs? is this the default for the prebuilt wooting 60he?

[stone flax]

no

[rustic frost]

what is it then and how do I add and get it?

[glacial wind]

PCB mount is default IF you buy module

If you buy prebuilt it is not

[stone flax]

yeah prebuilt comes with platemounts

[rustic frost]

so whats my solution if Im tryna make the build in the SS?

[ionic breach]

everything can be built with parts from wooting and kbdfans

[rustic frost]

just tryna understand what I need to order and how to mod it lol its my first time

[ionic breach]

you bought the module rite?

[rustic frost]

no prebuilt

[glacial wind]

Well if you want alumaze case anyway you should buy module

Because then it’s discounted if you buy together

[rustic frost]

i spoke in general, but im getting the prebuilt bc I want the yellow strap🤡

[ionic breach]

oh ya lmao

[robust siren]

alu case is also discounted when you buy the prebuilt

[ionic breach]

i forgot

[rustic frost]

so PCB mount stabs solution?

[ionic breach]

kbdfans sell stabs

[glacial wind]

Is it? Isn’t it less and you get the discount later

[ionic breach]

so grab some while ur getting the keycaps and burger mount bands from them

[robust siren]

i put both in the same order and there was a discount im not sure how big the difference is cause i didnt look into it that much

[stone flax]

what

[rustic frost]

so KBDfans is where I get the PCB mount stabs?

[stone flax]

no u can get them from anywhere lol

kbdfans is just a vendor

ONE vendor

to choose from

[rustic frost]

can i get it from wooting?

[glacial wind]

Honestly if you’re buying the pc plate anyway you’re really just adding a lot of price to your order just for that strap

[rustic frost]

ik 🤡

[glacial wind]

Because the module also comes with the pc plate already so you save there

[stone flax]

guy is adding so much money just for this strap

[robust siren]

unless hes getting keycaps or anything else there, it’d be cheaper for shipping

[stone flax]

[rustic frost]

what are PCB mount stabs tho and does wooting sell it?

[stone flax]

literally what? shipping prices depend on where u are and even in US i personally dont have the cheapest from kbdfans as a vendor, i get most of my things from unikeys/novelkeys/kncskeys

[robust siren]

wooting doesnt sell stabs

[stone flax]

it literally depends where you are

like aliexpress and amazon has FREE shipping on some stabs

[ionic breach]

is pbtfans on amazon?

[stone flax]

nuh uh

[ionic breach]

probably just use ali then

[glacial wind]

You'll need to basically buy pcb mount stabs of some sort from 3rd party. Eg knight v2 stabs are the popular ones these days

[stone flax]

i love knights

[rustic frost]

THANK YOU

[stone flax]

my question is why this guy neeeeds screw ins

or pcb mounts in general

[glacial wind]

this is some crazy extra you're paying just for that strap though lol

[stone flax]

custom plate?

wait

why are u asking so much about where to find pcb mount stabs

[rustic frost]

yee ig just tryna make the same build as the SS, do stabs have nothing to do with the way the keyboard sounds overall?

[stone flax]

and ur not sure what they are

[stone flax]

not sure what it means to try and make the same build as steelseries

switches are different

[rustic frost]

screen shot

[glacial wind]

also checking now you're also paying an extra 10% on the alumaze case if you buy prebuilt vs module

[glacial wind]

15% vs 25% discount

[stone flax]

ehh that vid is so old

my mans still using lekker v1's

[robust siren]

ah okay

[stone flax]

in my opinion just get the alumaze and module

rather than having to also end up buying a pc plate

and screw ins

[glacial wind]

this whole thing is honestly a bit silly just for that yellow wooting strap but hey it's your money

[stone flax]

and extra keycaps

and more and more

[rustic frost]

ik, I wanted to go the module route but no one so far wants to sell me a strap lol

[glacial wind]

you're paying like $70 extra for it

[rustic frost]

RIP

[ionic breach]

and the strap in the picture isnt the yellow one

its the one you get with the alumaze

[rustic frost]

not tryna make EXACTLY like the pic but want it to sound like it

all quiet n shiii

[winged sparrow]

is the amlumaze strap same as the one that came with founder's signature edition?

[robust siren]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256807192579842.html?_randl_currency=USD&_randl_shipto=US&src=google

@rustic frost

[ionic breach]

ok ngl that looks ass

[robust siren]

yeah it really does

[rustic frost]

i saw, but its not OG and you can tell

[glacial wind]

i literally threw away my strap i think

[ionic breach]

no the founders one is leather

[robust siren]

im not going to be using mine since im swapping it into a tofu60

[winged sparrow]

ah ok

[robust siren]

but someone earlier said they made it into a keychain thingy

and i think that sounds pretty cool

[rustic frost]

facts

[glacial wind]

honestly the black strap looks better anyway lol

[rustic frost]

personal pref ig

[robust siren]

yellow doesnt really fit my setup

[ionic breach]

both makes sense

[glacial wind]

i wonder what strap the 60he pro will have

[ionic breach]

depending on ur setup

[robust siren]

its mostly black with a little red

[ionic breach]

same

[rustic frost]

whens that coming out?

[glacial wind]

no date or news. All we know is it's in the works, so sometime next year probably

[robust siren]

table headphones mic and monitor all have small red accent pieces and im getting the pbtfans crosshair keycaps

[glacial wind]

not anytime soon at least

[stone flax]

wait did the alumaze come with a strap

it was the black and white one right

[glacial wind]

yeah it comes with a black one

[stone flax]

yeah ts ugly

looks like a cow

[glacial wind]

i don't like any of the straps personally

[ionic breach]

its the mooting strap

[glacial wind]

the accent is neat, but i'm never putting any straps on my cases

[ionic breach]

it would be nice to put on the carry case tho

[wary yarrow]

NEVERMIND 1layer for the geon makes them heavenly

[robust siren]

does the carry case fit a tofu case swap?

[robust siren]

can you show a picture of what this looks like?

[ionic breach]

the 60he? probaby

[lime sigil]

yo whats a good place to get nice looking keycaps

[robust siren]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[lime sigil]

ty

[robust siren]

thanks 🙏

[wary yarrow]

it gets rid of the last wobble the switch has, making the sound finally clean

[stone flax]

send a comparison vs no switch tape

pls

[wary yarrow]

it's a mod I played with every single HE switch I own, it makes all of them better IMO, worth a try

it's pretty hard to record

all of these are geon raw HE, the bottom left one is stock, the other 2 are single layer tape mode like shown above (no other mods, didn't even lube)

[jade storm]

Raptor HEs with Black Knight top housing swap? worth?

[ionic breach]

actually nice wtf

[stone flax]

u never get on overwatch anymore

[jade storm]

i'm on today

jus gimme a time

[stone flax]

when tho

[elfin garnet]

I can sell you mine lol. How much are you paying

[jade storm]

whenever

shoot me a text

[stone flax]

ok

do u still aimtrain

[wary yarrow]

it's hella tedious but sold switch tape mode is goated if stem wobble / upstroke "cleaness" is a concern for you

[elfin garnet]

is tape mode tedious

[ionic breach]

very

i think thackson said like 4 hrs minimum

switch tape mod ofc

not tape mod

[lime sigil]

@ionic breach@robust sireni was more looking for design keycaps i looked at those websites on that list and there all good looking but to plain

[ionic breach]

too plain as in?

[robust siren]

what are you looking for specifically? like anime-prints?

[ionic breach]

no graphics?

[elfin garnet]

oh cause I was thinking what

[lime sigil]

no like any graphic print like Topographic, camo, like those kinda prints

[rustic frost]

i dm u

[robust siren]

ohhh

[lime sigil]

refer to my last message

[red lodge]

Can you uses different switches in the uwu like in the keyboards?

[lime sigil]

yeah

[ionic breach]

u might want to search for them

[robust siren]

check out uhhh amazon and ironically highground for them

those are some topo keycaps i remember seeing

[lime sigil]

yeah i was looking at highground

[robust siren]

i cant speak on highground quality tho

[jade storm]

no bro, been doing some stuff unfortunately.

[ionic breach]

they have their ugly ass logo in the space bar

[robust siren]

it comes with 2 but thats also equally ugly

[lime sigil]

i could just paint the spacbar

why yall hate highground so much 😭

[ionic breach]

overpriced

[lime sigil]

fair

[ionic breach]

like extremly so

to be fair they need their licenses

[robust siren]

the topographic lines are thin on every key except for the spacebar

[lime sigil]

yall sure amazon is a good place 💀 cus im finding what i want but like im scared about the quality

[robust siren]

you can try looking on etsy

[ionic breach]

https://womierkeyboard.com/products/womier-topographic-keycap?variant=40539583217735

[robust siren]

why did they make the alt spacebar like that

[ionic breach]

looks fine...

its pbt double shot

[lime sigil]

that looks nice

[ionic breach]

didnt want to hire designers

[robust siren]

the only thing i dont like is the sideprint text being the same color as the topo lines but if you dont need the text its fine

[lime sigil]

yeah thats fine it dont really mater

@ionic breach @robust siren thank you guys

[robust siren]

[stone flax]

fake

[young lantern]

ngl if youre buying alumaze ill trade you for the black strap

if youre still looking that is

[polar girder]

I’m fucked

[stone flax]

designer studios screw ins

[cedar gate]

I'm saving for the artisan XL and have a tofu I got no need for the strap I'll sell it

[young lantern]

im actually not in need of the strap itself im on a redux rn and buying a fjell

he just needed a yellow strap and i figured a black strap for my extra wooting that i keep stock would look cool

fr4 plate vs pc plate for raws? i feel like the sound profile of the raws would be good with fr4

sorry to whoever sent out a sound recording the other day i lost it 🥲

[glacial wind]

I like fr4 personally

But I’m of the mindset that I want loud and clacky since the he switches suck at thock right now anyway

[iron bear]

Kinda like FR4 too more than PC

FR4 plate for the 80HE, when? 👀

[young lantern]

i agree

thats by design though isnt it? i think it was you who mentioned that

i think you can get close with jades in a plastic case i remember seeing a build that sounded deeper than what i got with redux and polyfil

[glacial wind]

Well yeah they all lean towards clack since it’s just how the closed switches sound with current design

You’d need some sort of redesign in he switches to get thock

[young lantern]

i need divinikey to restock already

[rustic frost]

sent u DM

[barren wasp]

masking tape or painters tape for tempest mod?

[robust siren]

what are you waiting on?

[young lantern]

i used just regular painters tape

scotchblue 2090

[young lantern]

knights v2 stabs and raw 50g

i already have 40g otw but i want 50g for my other board

[robust siren]

raw 50s just got reoredered so they should be in stock next week or the week after

[young lantern]

thats perfect

any idea about the stabs? official site just ran out but im patient enough for us retailer

[robust siren]

uhh let me check the discord

[young lantern]

it probably wont make a difference from tx clip in but i feel like i might as well since i see it recommended here

[barren wasp]

could you tell the difference with and without the tape

[robust siren]

black knight stabs arent gonna be sent to divinkey but i think the clear ones are going to be restocked eventually, they didnt say a specific eta

[young lantern]

with three layers yes i started off with one and didnt notice much difference until two personally three was just because it felt right idk lol

[young lantern]

ahh ok well ill just grab wherever i see long pole then

thanks sm

[robust siren]

anytime

[young lantern]

this was with polyfil inside redux btw ymmv with ur materials and build ofc

the yt video woot made with the stock case i didnt really notice the difference but if you put too much you can kinda get a muted sound imo

[barren wasp]

same thats the one im currently watching

[young lantern]

painters tape wont leave residue so if you dont like it its very easy to undo

[barren wasp]

only have masking tape right now should work the same right

[robust siren]

i actually have trouble with it not sticking to the pcb lol, every time i flipped over the keyboard it just falls off

[young lantern]

:0

is that scotchblue

[robust siren]

yeah

[young lantern]

maybe its old lol but ive had my roll since i moved into my new apartment

[robust siren]

it was very inconvenant because i had to realign the holes every time

[young lantern]

like 3 years ago

[robust siren]

it stuck to everything else

[young lantern]

tbf i wouldnt even tape mod i just dont like the polyfil touching my pcb

its a sign lol

[robust siren]

yeah youre right

im probably just gonna remove all of it when i get the tofu in

im not realigning every hole again

[young lantern]

i took mine apart too much so i just o ring mounted

super easy and quick

[robust siren]

yeah i got o rings and longer screws coming. shouldnt take more than 10 minutes

[stone flax]

NOT MASKING TAPE

[fluid ravine]

lol idk why but back then when i use to use tape mod, i liked masking better than painting on my wooting for some reason

but now.. tempest mod no more!

[robust siren]

what is this mouse...

[fluid ravine]

yes

[stone flax]

ehh just depends on the actual adhesive and whether its slightly conductive

[polar girder]

No

[fluid ravine]

no

[polar girder]

True.

[robust siren]

its been 3 days since my logi warrenty claim
(hint: i didnt get any shipping info or confirmation about my replacement)

[cold bloom]

pistol mouse lol I think there was an earlier version too that looked even worse

[untold wigeon]

I had to do mine twice

[robust siren]

no ones working on weekends

[polar girder]

Top: Black Hype PP

@untold wigeon MUCH LOVE 🫶

[stone flax]

cf ?

[fluid ravine]

Yessirr

[stone flax]

[robust siren]

whats better? carbon fiber or fr4?

[untold wigeon]

Nice! Happy it finally arrived. Enjoy!

[stone flax]

Depends on the build

[fluid ravine]

my days

spacebar sounds so much better

[robust siren]

raw he in a tofu60

[fluid ravine]

im about to make a sound test with the CF plate

just transffered the switches and keycaps on it

ill send both PC and CF comparison

[stone flax]

Pp/pc/fr4

[fluid ravine]

PC plate

CF plate

@untold wigeon @cold bloom

[cold bloom]

ouuu one sec

[fluid ravine]

ima tune the board later but for right now yeah it does sound a lot brighter

[cold bloom]

I like it, it's def similar to the fr4 plate I have but maybe a bit brighter but hard to say for sure

fr4/cf usually sound similar

[fluid ravine]

yup yup

[cold bloom]

I'm a fan

[untold wigeon]

Sounds much better. Spacebar sounds 20xs better

[fluid ravine]

[cold bloom]

I love spacebars on fr4/cf usually

[fluid ravine]

dude the spacebar improvemenet is just insane

thank god

none of them have grease btw

[cold bloom]

the spacebar is such an important one too cause it is used between so many keystrokes

if it sounds off you can notice I find pretty quick

[fluid ravine]

straight up bone dried wires and lubed housing

[fluid ravine]

oh yeah fr

[robust siren]

that does sound quite nice

[fluid ravine]

indeed

[untold wigeon]

Hopefully the plate was clean enough. I tried to get all the residue off it

[fluid ravine]

but yeah both FR4 and CF sound similar but CF should be a bit brighter than the FR4

I'd say fr4 pretty balance

[cold bloom]

lmao I just cleaned off my fr4 plate for my salvation it had a bit of grease

[fluid ravine]

it's very clean thanks

[robust siren]

too bad its a bit late to edit my order from divinkey, maybe in the future when i order more shi

[fluid ravine]

i checked if there was any like crumbs or anything liek taht but it's perfectly fine

looks new to me

[cold bloom]

I reallllyyy wanna get the alu plate soon

[untold wigeon]

Ok good. It wasn’t when I took it out of mine lol

[untold wigeon]

That one is kbdfans

[fluid ravine]

dude i can imagine how good the alu plate would sound lowkey

[stone flax]

u never tried one before

?

[untold wigeon]

@calm pulsar has one

[fluid ravine]

oh yea

didnt he say he will build it till he get the raw he

[calm pulsar]

yup, havent tried it tho 😄

[robust siren]

😭

20$ shipping

[fluid ravine]

he has an alu plate for his mx builds

he meant he want one for his wooting

[untold wigeon]

Pay to play. It’s a fantastic plate

Ask @fluid ravine

[calm pulsar]

tbh while I was waiting for it, I ordered the frog

[fluid ravine]

ill prob make a yt vid later

[cold bloom]

shipping on kbdfans usually works out to more than the damn plate for me but I love the fr4 one

[fluid ravine]

prob during the weekdays

[cold bloom]

if they had alu available I would've gotten both

[cold bloom]

not on the wooting

[stone flax]

aa ic

[untold wigeon]

Expensive shipping yes but his stuff is great

[fluid ravine]

my stabs feels better

they're not "sluggish" as before

which is huge, i think i can tune these stabs a bit easier now

[cold bloom]

I love how much wooting compatible stuff they've put out, pretty dope

[untold wigeon]

Me too.

[cold bloom]

geon has some good ideas/plans but kbdfans hasn't missed a beat lmao

[robust siren]

i gotta calm down with how much ive spent recently

[untold wigeon]

@fluid ravine were your Raws super tight fitting in the plate?

[fluid ravine]

well its tight but not super tight

its prob just my switches

i like took the switches in and out like quite a couple of times

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-cat-funny-smile-happy-gif-4163740030726237429

I must have loosed it up for you.

[fluid ravine]

nah nah the plate is fine actually

its just the clips on my raws

let's say they're just "sanded" down if that makes sense

it doesnt like clip onto the plate as tight as how they were brand new

thanks again frijoles, you have brung life to a young pals board

hm i should type a bit slower in my sound test

[rigid temple]

Does anyone know what this is for

[fluid ravine]

[polar girder]

Maybe try KBD store on aliexpress

[calm pulsar]

wholesome

[calm pulsar]

this is from tofu redux right?

probably to put on to metal posts at the edges of the case to avoid pcb contacting metal

[rigid temple]

yeah

[celest parrot]

I'm about to buy the gmk cosmos set but I want some help to understand the other kits included other that the base kit. Like what they are there for etc?

[polar girder]

Different layouts or novelties

Like what’s your exact question about

You can buy base and you’re all set

[celest parrot]

What are novelties

[polar girder]

Unique one offs

Alternate options for stock keys basically

[celest parrot]

So every other kit other than the base one contains them

[polar girder]

What no

Like just look at the pics lol

It shows you what it is

[celest parrot]

Sorry bigsly I'm kinda noob in keebs

Got it

Tysm

[polar girder]

Guess cannonkeys is harder to understand cuz the pics call it one thing and the option on the site is something different

[celest parrot]

Yeah and I'm buying from them

That's why I got confused

[polar girder]

There you go

So the cosmic base is necessary. Cosmic Dust is cool. Other two probably unnecessary for any regular keyboard

[celest parrot]

I like the caps lock in the cosmic dust

[polar girder]

The Extension has the red light shine through caps lock

Yeah dude that’s fire

Also a big fan

[celest parrot]

Ima get it for the caps lock only

[polar girder]

lol same

That’s the Artisan Salvun Cap

$55

I’m not a huge fan

[robust siren]

$55 for touching a metal ball keycap on your keybaord 🤩

[somber roost]

i want it ngl

but not for that price haha

[celest parrot]

It looks like ass ngl

[old swallow]

most of salvuns keycaps are dope, but yea. that ones a bit of a miss

[stone flax]

thats a stepped caps

its not gonna fit on the wooting

[old swallow]

it has both no?

[stone flax]

is he talking about the caps indicator?

yeah then it has the regular too

[old swallow]

oh right, euhm

[stone flax]

but if he's looking for that stepped caps its not gonna work

[pine shoal]

whats some good sites for keycaps in europe?

[untold wigeon]

You’re welcome. Enjoy!

[untold wigeon]

It’s like Sputnik. I think it’s badass.

[robust siren]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/
just scroll down, theres a section on europe

[cedar gate]

I have never watched or read LOTR but I still know this is the best artisan

Some of the stuff from drop is blow your mind good

[robust siren]

i always thought that The Eye of Sauron keycap was cool

but im not sure if its $65 cool

[cedar gate]

Yeah spending a ton of money on one keycap is only really worth it if you building a endgame

[polar girder]

Oh snap

Might have to finally try out out

[harsh dove]

Really fun game with friends

[untold wigeon]

What are friends?

lol

[sweet oak]

ROCK AND STONE FOREVER

[loud zephyr]

what about whalers bidding over 6k?

[quiet bay]

that's gotta be a joke bid lol

[loud zephyr]

definitely not

[quiet bay]

6900? 💀

that'd be like the most irresponsible financial decision you can make

[loud zephyr]

depends how wealthy you are and how you value things, I guess

[robust siren]

why tf are they so mcuh

[loud zephyr]

I wish I knew, the bidding is 9,750 now with 4 days left

WTAF

[robust siren]

whats so special about those

oh wow

[quiet bay]

oh hell no

that's like a whole car right there

[robust siren]

okay their keycaps are for... an aquired taste

[quiet bay]

for 3 keycaps 😂

atp hire someone to make the keycaps...

[polar girder]

I find it funny someone buys those at all. Let alone for that much

That’s crazy lol

[quiet bay]

rich people ig

[quiet bay]

wow..

I wonder how these would even look good in a keyboard

[loud zephyr]

Yeah, I don't really get it, as far as I know the designer went in hiatus but is back cooking again. These sculpts are not 1 off designs other than being Topre stems

[celest parrot]

I'm buying new switches for my 80he what is the top of the line switches rn?

[elfin garnet]

looks like a buthole

[celest parrot]

Idk about price and I care for sound profile and feel

[quiet bay]

still most people like raw hes for sound and feel

idk about the new magnetic jade pro switches tho

[celest parrot]

I saw them too but there is no info about them

[quiet bay]

sound difference i think it just sounds a bit cleaner

between the normal jades and jade pros

[celest parrot]

I heard the lekkers v2's and raw he's and the raw ones sounded better to me

Might get that one

[quiet bay]

go for whichever one you like more 👍

raw hes are a good choice

[celest parrot]

Got it

Tysm bro

[robust siren]

that is indeed what it is

[stone flax]

raw he

[lusty nova]

Is there any silent switches compatible with wooting keebs?

[robust siren]

oh my god.. there are so many

[quiet bay]

butthole keycaps?

LOL

I think the sculptor could have a bias..

I don't know 🤔

[robust siren]

hes def into the last one in the 2nd image

[untold wigeon]

That person belongs on a list that the government possesses

[tall hollow]

hmmmmmm, :3

[polar girder]

Perfect for cosmos?

[barren wasp]

what style keycaps are the stock wooting060he

[quiet bay]

pretty sure they're OEM

[robust siren]

oem

[robust siren]

most definately

[fluid ravine]

Finally home from school

Can finally spend time with my new born keyboard

[crimson nova]

Does anyone know if Higround keycaps will work on Wooting keyboards? specifically the 80HE

[robust siren]

they will

[crimson nova]

@robust siren even the spacebar?

[robust siren]

let me double check

[robust siren]

which ones are you looking at?

[uneven cradle]

They fit but if you buy one of the 68 keycap sets they don't have all the keys you will need for the 60he

[robust siren]

hes buying it for the 80

[uneven cradle]

Well it definitely ain't gonna have enough keycaps then

[robust siren]

highground has 135 key sets

thats why im asking which set hes looking at

[robust siren]

this would work

space bar is 6.25U

[crimson nova]

https://higround.co/products/one-piece-x-hg-68-keycaps-set-zoro

https://higround.co/products/one-piece-x-hg-68-keycaps-set-luffy

im looking at either of these I know I wouldnt have enough keys

[robust siren]

these wont work

wait actually

youll be missing 2(?) keys

[crimson nova]

what keys would I be missing

[loud zephyr]

bottom row won't work, right side has different sized ALT/Fn/Ctrl

[robust siren]

on the 80he its actually those size

unlike the 60

unless im looking at it weird

i mean itll work but theres gonna be a huge gap between the keys

[crimson nova]

Where like in the numbers and im assuming arrow keys?

ahhh thats honestly not a huge issue to me

[robust siren]

it should be identical size to the ones on the left of that spacebar

[crimson nova]

Damn im so torn

[loud zephyr]

and there's no F-Row

[robust siren]

also you wont have enough for this

[crimson nova]

I really wanna get them but not sure if itll work out

[loud zephyr]

it won't

[robust siren]

^

[calm pulsar]

not the highground keycaps😭

[crimson nova]

Yeah im fine without having stuff for Fkeys and like insert and stuff

[tall hollow]

Any thoughts on the Awekeys aluminum keycap sets?

[hazy sparrow]

Hey guys, any off yall know if the switch lube I got from wooting ahould be doing this? I cant seem to close it shut neither

[tall hollow]

Thicker lubricants can make good seals, sometimes a little too good. Just wipe off the rim of the bottle and the lid and see if that helps.

[cedar gate]

If you buy them off artisan the XXL is about the same price as a medium off Amazon 🤣

[loud zephyr]

the right shift on the Highground looks smaller as well, so it's pretty much a no go

[calm pulsar]

just get a one piece deskmat, you don't have to pay 70 bucks for a twitsted cut in pieces image that you won't even be able to see properly at the usual angle

[hazy sparrow]

Gotcha, just opened my package and this one is especially really greasy outside even before opening it so ill still go ahead and make a ticket, as I dont think my hands should be greasy without touching the lube at all

[tall hollow]

Oh that's not good, probably means the seal was broken at some point and leaked.

[untold wigeon]

Someone here has the Awekeys. I don’t remember who

[quiet bay]

#1283256448222232636 message this guy

#1281132906646863932 message this person too

[untold wigeon]

I thought they were copper

[untold wigeon]

Yeah that’s the one

[jade falcon]

are non-magnetic switches at least functional on a wooting? im getting ceramic keycaps but im basically broke at this point so i dont have money to spend on a spring pack, especially since i need only one (for my spacebar). cerakeys include a switch with a 70g spring and i don't really mind using that on my space bar because i dont really need rapid trigger on my space bar. would that work?

[quiet bay]

nah

only magnetic switches work on wooting

[fluid ravine]

MX switches goes with MX boards, HE switches goes on HE boards

[stone flax]

it wont

[fluid ravine]

Except certain HE PCB are only compatible with specific HE family line swiches

[stone flax]

wht are people sending higround

shittiest kitting on earth

[stone flax]

wha

t

[fluid ravine]

had to re word it mb

i read it and was like wait..

[stone flax]

there are he pcb's that can take a specific family of he switches as well as 3pin/5pin mx too

[fluid ravine]

Gmmk 3 pro be like

[barren wasp]

The way I closed mine is using the blue one and the white one in the background of the video

[stone flax]

akko did that like more than a year earlier

[jade falcon]

would it at least function like a normal switch? without rapid trigger and all

[robust siren]

nope

[jade falcon]

damn

[robust siren]

theres nowhere for the pins to go into the pcb

[jade falcon]

alright, thank you

[acoustic fable]

Gmmk3 pro in my knowledge can do both magnetic and mecanical hotswap atm

[devout torrent]

Akko has some boards that do it as well

[untold wigeon]

Go mow somebody’s lawn. The spring pack is only like $15 bucks

[acoustic fable]

thanks for the info

[mint parcel]

can anybody here who modded their module dm me? i have some questions

[jade storm]

do it twice to get black PC plate

[untold wigeon]

That’s even better

[robust siren]

i gotta work…. for money?!?!?

[jade storm]

I know, that's horrible.

be strong.

[radiant lance]

[lone plume]

Now doing the switch tape mod. It killing me

[ionic breach]

👀

the screwdriver set is so extra

[glacial wind]

the koreans love that screwdriver set

[lone plume]

Anyway @fluid ravine I have dm you what I found . Can be updated in your guide also

[glacial wind]

swagkeys sells the same one but with nintendo design lol

[ionic breach]

raised and angled bits, the bit's holding latch system, the lightsaber like driver

[fluid ravine]

It's pretty late so I won't be able to reread the whole paragraph and make some edits

But thanks tho

[glacial wind]

i bought a similar kind of thing but the mi version and realized I only ever use the one screwdriver bit lol

oh drakon went fancy

he bought the titanium tweezers too

where is your fancy overpriced screw tray though

how can you put together an 80he without a screw tray worth half the price of the keyboard

[calm pulsar]

I am preparing a list of what to order from Korea, what would you guys advise to get while I'm at it?

I'm planning to grab a venom60he pcb, sw knight v2s, spacers, some frog tadpoles

do you think the geon wires are worth it? if I get sw knights

[hard flower]

Shipping aside, great price. Excited to recieve them

[glacial wind]

i'm not sure if the geon wires are even compatible with the upcoming v2 knight revision

[wraith widget]

The 92 is also fairly extra 😅

[calm pulsar]

oh there's a revision coming?

[glacial wind]

because the v2 revamp they're doing says the new wires in them are not compatible with previous v2 knights

yeah they changed the mold slightly and the new wires are different to match

this is the most fancy pants overpriced expense though

prime anodized tray just for putting together stabs

it's like $70 lol

[calm pulsar]

hm I guess I could wait for the revision

[glacial wind]

i think it's all incoming batches from now. At least in korea it is anyway

[calm pulsar]

I assume the ones that are left are currently from older batches

the availability seems to be the same on korean store as well

[glacial wind]

yeah international store is just leftovers from the current batch

korean store is this one with new packaging and such https://smartstore.naver.com/swagkey/products/8092482147

but it's preorders

[calm pulsar]

yeah I was planning to grab stuff from smartstore, geon also has a store there

[glacial wind]

and they don't get stock of that until october on kr store

kr store is a pain in the ass to buy swagkey stabs in stock. The knights sell out same day normally

[calm pulsar]

ah I guess I'll just order the clear ones while they are available, they are probably good enough and the next batch is a minor improvement

[glacial wind]

i don't know if tx has a smartstore but these are pretty neat https://txkeyboard.com/store1/?idx=190

[calm pulsar]

pog

[glacial wind]

stabilizer tester boards to assemble and test stabs without needing to use a keyboard pcb

[calm pulsar]

yeah I've seen similar ones before

[glacial wind]

prime has his own store of just random goodies he makes too lol https://smartstore.naver.com/prime-custom

[calm pulsar]

thinking of it, currently I can use my 60he non plus as a test pcb

[glacial wind]

both me and cam have his fancy screw tray

[calm pulsar]

yeah it seems nice

[harsh dove]

Currently in use too

[glacial wind]

3 more days and you guys can bombard us with 80he photos

[calm pulsar]

glory to Geon and all that he touches

[glacial wind]

glory to geon and all that he touches

[sleek wagon]

Need the best Hall effect switch currently on the market

someone tell me

[ionic breach]

look up

but srsly tho there isnt a best

[sleek wagon]

Raws?

[ionic breach]

the only difference is sound and feel

[glacial wind]

glory to geon and all that he touches

is the woot code still live on geon?

[ionic breach]

rn id recommend the geon raws, lekkers v2 and the jade pros

all depending on ur preference

[sleek wagon]

I bought the jade pros, looking for a deeper sound

Also I like to buy shit just for fun

[glacial wind]

well if you already bought jade pros then not much point buying others

[ionic breach]

yup

[sleek wagon]

Was hoping there was something with a deeper sound

Oh well

[jade storm]

doesn't it end today

[ionic breach]

ye

[glacial wind]

lekker v2 is technically deeper. Sound is more hollow due to open bottom and stem isn't as tight, but it is deeper

[sleek wagon]

Interesting

I suppose I'll buy raws and v2's

Because I'm bad with my money

[glacial wind]

raw he really not worth if you already bought jade pros

basically same thing but slightly different pitch

[sleek wagon]

..... deeper pitch perhaps?

[glacial wind]

eh, you can watch some videos but they're both super clacky switches lol

[sleek wagon]

i need thock

That's my shit

[glacial wind]

deep full thock isn't a thing yet unfortunately

[sleek wagon]

Does geon ship from china?

[glacial wind]

nah kr

[sleek wagon]

Damn

[sleek wagon]

Might be worth just buying on divinikey

[wraith widget]

Jade Max is apparently deeper than pros and raws

[jade storm]

18x4 more switches for less money

[sleek wagon]

One of these is not like the other

[ionic breach]

ya it is

[sleek wagon]

Say less

[wraith widget]

But you can also do modding to your keyboard to deepen the pitch of the sound

[sleek wagon]

You convinced me

[ionic breach]

jade max and 1 layer switch tape mod

seems like the deepest rn

theres a vid here somewhere

[sleek wagon]

wtf is the difference between jade, pro and max lol

[ionic breach]

price :)

[jade storm]

just ||go raw||get Raw

[wraith widget]

gold plated springs on the max

Also the max is completely clear casing so better RGb

[glacial wind]

the springs thing is so hilariously unneccessary lol

[wraith widget]

And obviously something else slightly different to make the pitch a bit deeper

[ionic breach]

ez justification for the price tag

[wraith widget]

They look nice to be fair

Very flashy

[sleek wagon]

Why can i not find a jade max sound test on YouTube

[ionic breach]

gimme one min

[wraith widget]

There's a max vs pro on the wooting reddit

[glacial wind]

use the geon one

the reddit one is scuffed

[wraith widget]

yeah pretty bad sound lol

still gives you a small idea of what the difference is

[glacial wind]

https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx1F5D8FXA630CObd-ArWXN45APur95e6R?feature=shared

this is from geon with good mic

[ionic breach]

the reddit one includes switch tape mod tho

[wraith widget]

Still not the best sound, hella noise in the background 😂

But better I guess

[glacial wind]

you don't want noise removal normally, it removes and changes some of the pitch sound so it's tricky to add that in later

[sleek wagon]

I'm crazy or the jade pros sound deeper?

[glacial wind]

it's why some testers get flack for doing sound edits on their keyboard tests lol

[wraith widget]

I mean... if you're buying more switches when you already have the pros

Just buy all the switches

Then make up your mind

[glacial wind]

yeah the max sound higher to me personally

[sleek wagon]

That's where I'm heading currently

[glacial wind]

but i don't think any of them are worth over the raw he personally anyway lol

[sleek wagon]

So buy the raw he

Thanks

Then i can have the jade pros for my second wooting ofcourse

[wraith widget]

https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/comments/1fg2jng/gateron_jade_pro_and_jade_max_soundtest/

Here is the reddit sound text

[glacial wind]

well that's mostly based on price since they're all same wheelhouse-ish of clacky-ish sound with tight stem

except the raws are much cheaper

so if you have jade pros i wouldn't really bother with the others, but that's just me

[wraith widget]

Yeah I think you start making other mods to add thock and remove clack

[sleek wagon]

What mods can you do to the wooting besides foam and tape mod

I have a pc plate already

[wraith widget]

Idk what you mean but if you were to get an audio note from each the pro was a higher note 😂

[sleek wagon]

Notes aside, it definitely sounds deeper, but in the Reddit video the maxes sound deeper... makes zero sense

[glacial wind]

honestly the whole 'marbly thock' adventure i put into the 'not worth chasing' category until there's actually a deep marbly thock he switch

for now all the mods have slight differences here or there but you're still infinitely away from actual deep thocky switch

[sleek wagon]

keep me updated when you find that cause I can't do these clacky switches

[glacial wind]

i'd guess maybe another year and we'll see some appear at some point

[wraith widget]

Just add more lube

[sleek wagon]

YEAR?!?!?

[wraith widget]

Add more foam and shit to your board

Tape mods

etc, more layering should result is a deeper, less clacky sound

[sleek wagon]

Fuck it ima get some suborthane

[glacial wind]

i put all of that stuff as similar to jumping closer to the sun to get warmer

vs. just waiting for a warmer day

[sleek wagon]

So wise

is it the raw he that make you wise like that

[glacial wind]

like right now you're going to spend insane amounts of time doing 50 mods to make it ever so slightly thockier and it'll still be worse than very mediocre mx thocky switches

just not really worth

[jade storm]

Yes

[glacial wind]

it is a blessing from geon for all his followers

[wraith widget]

Basically what people have been doing modding keyboards for years though 😅

They like the thrill of the chase

It's not really about the result

Because even when they get that result they will chase again

[glacial wind]

oh yeah i know people will do it, just that right now I think it's insanely not worth and even the absolute worlds best effort won't even get you close

[wraith widget]

Hence why they build 56 keyboards

[glacial wind]

people just mod because they enjoy it, but realistically for now that sound profile isn't a thing for HE

(or they mod because they're new and think it is)

[wraith widget]

fair

[calm pulsar]

relatively good clacky is easier to achieve with HE currently

and MX-like deeper “thocky” sounds arent really possible unless you get an HE board that is similar to MX, as in the stem of the switch goes through the pcb

raws are finally in my hands
the wobble is so nonexistent

just like on my frankenswitch, but without tightness issues

[marsh saffron]

Yeah I realized thock wouldn't be achievable for quite a bit

So I went for a deep clack until it's eventually available

[glacial wind]

yep that's my thought process too. Just join the clack team for now until an actual HE thocky switch is out

[drifting grotto]

Random question, i keep seeing people talk about a “switch tape mod”

Is it just the tempest tape mod or something else that im not understanding?

[marsh saffron]

Hand lubed ws dashes in my tofu build definitely sound good, but I would like to go thocky eventually

[ionic breach]

nah

[marsh saffron]

Switch tape mod is literally putting tape inside switch housing

To dampen the upstroke/top out

[marsh saffron]

I think this is what it's for

[ionic breach]

one takes 10 minutes the other takes 10 hours

[marsh saffron]

Someone probably has the message link for it

[ionic breach]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message ye

[drifting grotto]

Thank you very much

[marsh saffron]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1173784544529363034

His guide is in there

[lone plume]

If you want make your life easier use a cutting matt. 1cm length 0.5cm width. Each box is like 1cm already

As for the tapeing from outside house to inner housing where the stem top out. Use the wooting switch puller side since it rounded and totally fit the size of the top out side

I still got 40 plus more to go . Out of 108

[cold bloom]

What’s the lube? I always see goen has that stuff

[calm pulsar]

seems like some thicker grease cause description says stabilizer lube

might be useful for tuning after installation

[random loom]

Does anyone know can u buy geon stuff in UK

[calm pulsar]

he has international delivery, so most likely

oh wait there was some eu store that stocked geon raws recently

don't remember what it was called

[gusty patio]

https://deltakeyco.com/products/geon-raw-he-switch?_pos=4&_sid=ae0f61baa&_ss=r

Oh, they're sold out lol

[calm pulsar]

oh

yeah they are most of the time on local vendors lol

[gusty patio]

I hope they don't pull some shit and raise the pricing 😒 after restock

I skipped on buying cause I wont need em for a while longer. But if they're going to constantly sell out I might get them in advance

[random loom]

Ty

[crimson crypt]

hey im actually confused on what type of keycaps would fit on the wootin

this is my first time ever doing "modding"

[ionic breach]

majority will

just look out for mx-compatible which is almost all the keycaps out there

no low profile keycaps tho

[crimson crypt]

no low profile keycaps?

why not

[calm pulsar]

they will fit but will look goofy

floating above the keyboard

without actually reducing the height

[crimson crypt]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D3YNZLH7/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A2X78RSRFYCZMR&psc=1

would these work?

thoughts aswell?

[ionic breach]

yup those work

[crimson crypt]

alright thanks

[ionic breach]

as for thoughts

the reviews seem iffy

[crimson crypt]

any recommendations?

yeah i've been looking at keycaps like all day

[ionic breach]

nah not really

never gotten these types of keycaps

[crimson crypt]

im open to all types of keycaps

[ionic breach]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/ heres a list for each region

they tend to be non graphical, but much better quality and colours

i recommend gmk and pbtfans

btw any website with gmk in it is likely a scam, its not a retailer but a manufacuter

[ionic breach]

https://kbdfans.com/collections/keycaps heres a website for both, you can then find them from a retailer in ur region

[crimson crypt]

what does gmk even stand for

wow i honesty didn't expect the market to be huge

[ionic breach]

gmk is a german producer

the best in da business

[crimson crypt]

yessir

i definiety will give those a look

thanks for the help, very informative

does anyone else keyboard have a slight imbalance when on the desk? mine rocks a little and idk what to do without sanding the rubber feet

[elfin garnet]

I want that one but couldn't figure out how I buy it

[rocky folio]

Bought the last one lol

[ionic breach]

btw once you recieve them

you can test how the actuation works

if its measured by % or mm

[orchid thunder]

the price works out to be the same if you bought from this website compared to geon themselves. 70 switches here are £35 and at geon its £36 with the woot discount code

[gusty patio]

true, but import duties for buying from geon directly might make the difference ?

Delta keys is restocking in 2 weeks fyi

Of course you’d need to watch the restock day in their discord though since it seems to sell out in a day lol

[orchid thunder]

Ahh fair point but tbf I’ve never been hit with import fees ordering from China, Japan and Korea to the UK

[gusty patio]

ah nice, yeah then I would just settle for direct order. Over here in NL they take every chance they get so I will take whatever option I have to bypass it

[gusty patio]

Sounds good. Will keep an eye on that then 👍

[sweet oak]
