[stone flax]

shenpo/xmi/winmix bob is like 90% of the same thing anyways at like $40 from taobao

so eat that ig

[glacial wind]

My offer to paint any keycaps for anyone here is open. I draw excellent stick figures via sharpie

[cedar gate]

Looks centered

Has anyone tried modding wooting to make a step possible

[glacial wind]

Do people use those stepped keys much actually? I feel I rarely if ever see folks use them

[fluid ravine]

I'd like to try them :>

I think they look kewl esp on the dualshots

[stone flax]

i like them on tkl’s

[cedar gate]

I feel like its just better idk why

[loud zephyr]

at a quick glance on Geon's user gallery, it's 7 out of 10 step caps; maybe it's a hardcore keyboard thing

[glacial wind]

Korean keyboards have their own trends too. It’s pretty interesting

like now super light spring weights are actually getting really popular in Korea

Maybe side effect of huge rise in valorant here

[loud zephyr]

Lightningkeyboards Discord has a lot stepcappers by the looks, I'm guessing it's an aesthetics thing as the uneveness breaks up the monotony

[jade falcon]

anyone know the length of the lekker 60 springs?

planning on getting a stronger spring to support my ceramic spacebar, but i need to know the length

[uneven cradle]

They love a half plate as well

[cedar gate]

Can't help with that sorry but anything with 60cn or more is fine

[abstract karma]

is that normal? to be yellow

or is it like dmged

[jade falcon]

for the spacebar?

i heard 60cn works but its slow coming back up

i also heard its best to get 80-100cn spring

[polar girder]

where

looks nice

oh nvm i see it

GB

[calm pulsar]

not sure, a certain individual posted pics and it looks really great

[polar girder]

$200

tf

[calm pulsar]

yoo really

damn

[polar girder]

https://dailyclack.com/products/hammerworks-crp-r6

yeah that's wild

oh it's old GB

so have to find them MM or something

i mean it is PBT and looks nice

but yeah

idk

honestly i think PBS BoB might be banger of the year for me idk

[calm pulsar]

yeah tbh not sure why it’s that expensive

ig they are betting on all the guys who want to snatch a bob set

since there’s not many around

[polar girder]

sold for $130 on MM tho

right yeah true

i mean they look aight

[calm pulsar]

looks kinda grey here like pbtfans bog

[polar girder]

i mean it's PBT and it looks nice. i respect it

but yeah

I'm just tired of buying shit TBH lol

just want black knight stabs (maybe never) and keycaps and move on with my life lol

[calm pulsar]

lol same… its an endless cycle of dopamine hits

[polar girder]

but if metalkeyboards ever starts making keycaps again that will definitely suck me back in to drop some wads lol

[calm pulsar]

I ordered the geon pcb with the symmetric bottom row btw

and sw knights

[calm pulsar]

are they metal keycaps or is it just a name?

[polar girder]

i think i might just have to buy the clear ones next time they pop up lol

aluminum keycaps yeah

i fking love those keycaps

[calm pulsar]

oh I like it
the font is so industrial

[polar girder]

yeah it's sick

[calm pulsar]

pretty cool

[polar girder]

big fan

pretty expensive tho lol

but actually reasonable comparitively

[unique jetty]

anyone have recommendations on Keycap sets that would look good with the 80HE PCR Ghost?

[polar girder]

https://swagkeys.com/products/gb-hammerworks-crp-r6?variant=44208187015421

oh shit

ofc

they still have them

$115

[glacial wind]

I feel anything retro themed works really work like retro 100

Gives them that retro gameboy look

[calm pulsar]

so they really are like pbt gmk pretty much

[ruby hill]

$120 just buy gmk instead of those China companies

[unique jetty]

yeah, thats one of my considerations, Ive been looking at something similar to xray keycaps but black as well, but no luck finding anything. Also considered going with the full matte clear plastic look but having trouble finding them as well.

Full Matte Clear blanks would be my ideal but i really cant find them

[glacial wind]

Futuristic game themed works well too

Like a pbtfans kabuki cho

[unique jetty]

drop any links and suggestions and ill check them out, thank you

[glacial wind]

https://divinikey.com/products/pbtfans-kabuki-cho-r2-keycap-set

[ionic breach]

https://ilumkb.com/products/copy-of-group-buy-gmk-mictlan-keycap-set

[polar girder]

i'm lowkey tempted cuz i need knight stabs and SW shipping is like $26 lol

[polar girder]

i fk'ing love this set

[glacial wind]

I have never seen someone so focused on having black coloured stabs before lol

[calm pulsar]

masculine urge

[ionic breach]

the novelties too

but together its like fking 250 usd

[untold wigeon]

I’m a big fan also

[unique jetty]

the PBTfans Retro Dark Lights R2 look really nice but looks like they are a group buy or something

you know how often this things are purchasable?

[ionic breach]

usually one and done

[unique jetty]

damn thats like my ideal set

you know anything similar to those?

[calm pulsar]

its nice that raw stem can go any way on the switch, unlike gateron

[tawdry tree]

Same, if the Jade Pro top housing were tighter, it could be good with a Grain Gold box stem but not sure yet.

[untold wigeon]

My 100g springs are 1/4 inch longer and are fine

[jade falcon]

bet, thank you <3

[untold wigeon]

No problem

[polar girder]

and now i'm getting in to CS2 skins x.x

[ionic breach]

black with rgb accents?

not really

[unique jetty]

or just matte black transparent blanks

[calm pulsar]

probably buying all the black ones

[unique jetty]

doesnt need accents

[ionic breach]

transparent?

[tawdry tree]

No, not bad. Just a bit unusual. It’s preference at the end of the day so it doesn’t really matter. It does affect your typing speed potential though. 😉

[unique jetty]

yeah something similar to the pcr ghost case if possible

[ionic breach]

amazon, etsy, aliexpress has tons of these

[unique jetty]

yeah but they either not blanks or they arent matte, i dont want shiny

[ionic breach]

there is one

but i forgor

[harsh canyon]

pbtfans neon r2 is kinda close, not completely transparent though I dont think

[ionic breach]

i found it

#🌟│wooting80he message

i have to say, this is something i did not buy, idk abt the quality

[tawdry tree]

The issue you had with them seems to be resolved but I would recommend to test it with your original 60HE that showed the weird behavior to confirm if it indeed was a firmware thing. The bump is the compensation stage, Haimu’s* Sticky Rices have weaker magnets so this is perfectly normal and would be resolved entirely once the switch selecting update is here. :thumbsup:

[unique jetty]

ok ill check out some reviews, ive seen the keysterine ones as well. I def dont want to buy something bad quality

[calm pulsar]

okay raws are spring swapped to lubed geon 62.5g springs

time to build

[fluid ravine]

Mann I thought u be building already

Well at least u doin it now

[calm pulsar]

im slow on my day off

taking the time

doing force break rn

[polar girder]

Post pics

I’ll probably do that at some point t

Have fun

[calm pulsar]

kinda scuffed but hopefully will do

[stone prairie]

Can I put the wooting inside a womier k61 case

[fluid ravine]

[untold wigeon]

Hey guys I know this is probably a stupid question but I've never bought switches before

https://divinikey.com/products/geon-raw-he-linear-switches?variant=41630581981249

These are sold in "18" so I should buy 5 of them right

To have 90

For the 80he

[untold wigeon]

u mean switches

[wraith widget]

Yes

[untold wigeon]

yeah

[untold wigeon]

Yes

[paper bloom]

1 pack of 18

[untold wigeon]

Sick, thank you for the help 😼 👍

[paper bloom]

So it means 90

Ye exact

[ruby hill]

What case?

[calm pulsar]

frog mini

[ruby hill]

Nice

[calm pulsar]

damnnn @fluid ravine my stabs arent reutrning except for the spacebar😭

gotta use stock ones until sw knights arrive I guess

[fluid ravine]

What do you have rn

[calm pulsar]

cherry clip-ins with long pole tx ap stems

[fluid ravine]

Gosh diggity darn

What plate

[calm pulsar]

alu

[fluid ravine]

Hmm

Alr yea just use stock ones

[calm pulsar]

lol it returns so slowly

[tawdry tree]

Why?

WHY?

What is the cause?! 😨

[calm pulsar]

seems like stabs are slightly tilted, just like with tx ap

the plate cutout too narrow I think

I might just sand the housings a bit lol

[tawdry tree]

I might just get some cherry stabs

second person

if cherry ain’t using cherry spec then what is the meaning of life?

[calm pulsar]

well I am using cherry clipin housings, but the stems are tx ap and they are slightly wider

so i guess that’s the issue

[tawdry tree]

Are they slow even without a keycap?

Then that would be it.

But if the housings are tilted, it’s not it.

[calm pulsar]

no they are fine without keycaps

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, then it’s definitely the plate pushing on them.

Where were original cherry clip ins sold again?

[calm pulsar]

kbdfans store on aliexpress

[tawdry tree]

Do you have calipers by any chance?

[calm pulsar]

unfortunately no

[tawdry tree]

Ah np

[untold wigeon]

How do the Neo Lavenders Compare to the Raw switches

[glacial wind]

neo lavenders are like an even clackier jade

so a little less tight than raw he, like the non pro jades

[untold wigeon]

I kinda like the idea of a tightery key

The only issue is the raw's are kind of expensive...

Like a lot more expensive than I thought...

[glacial wind]

where are you from?

[untold wigeon]

Cananda

[glacial wind]

oh divinikey is expensive for you still?

[untold wigeon]

With shipping its 120$ for 90

Which is about 1/3 of the cost of the 80he module and the keycaps combined

[little glen]

You could wait for wooting to stock them

Shipping might be cheaper then

[untold wigeon]

I probably should right

I mean I just ordered the 80he module

[glacial wind]

Wait wtf $120 that doesn’t sound right

is it heavily taxed or something?

[untold wigeon]

So its probably gonna take a long time to get to me

[glacial wind]

wtf that shipping

[untold wigeon]

Might as well wait

[glacial wind]

That’s more than geon

[untold wigeon]

Geon is about the same price

Like 10$ cheaper

[glacial wind]

Yeah I guess you need Canadian dealer but I don’t know of any for raw he yet

[untold wigeon]

Also their official website only takes payment from paypal

Which is so strange

[glacial wind]

Normal cause it Korean

Hard to open payment processor for international sales in kr

[untold wigeon]

Do you guys not have visa

[glacial wind]

You can pay via visa on PayPal

They just process it but PayPal checkout has a pay via card option too

[untold wigeon]

Yea but like I don't have a paypal account

and low key don't wanna set one up

[glacial wind]

You don’t need one

[untold wigeon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[glacial wind]

There’s checkout via card without account

[untold wigeon]

Not on the official Geon website

[glacial wind]

When it redirects you to PayPal you’ll get a small link below that page

That allows you to checkout via PayPal without an account

That’s how it works for all PayPal checkouts

[untold wigeon]

Like all the way at the bottom?

I mean its stil the same price

Idk why it matters

[glacial wind]

Somewhere on the page, I forget where but all PayPal checkouts allow you to checkout without an account

[untold wigeon]

Still 115$

[glacial wind]

Yeah either way you’ll need a local dealer for raw he to avoid that shipping

[untold wigeon]

Mhm

Since its gonna take a while to arrive I have time right

I might as well wait

But if they don't start selling them locally, what are my alternatives?

Neo lavender?

[glacial wind]

I mean there’s no harm, you have a couple months or whatever it is

[glacial wind]

I’d personally not get lavender and wait to see if jade pro start going on sale

[untold wigeon]

Don't jade's need special stabilizers for the wooting boards

[glacial wind]

Typically with jade switches they’re expensive at first but then after a few months they go on sale on aliexpress

[glacial wind]

Not anymore than raw he and other long pole switches

And you only need it in very rare cases of keycap wobble

[uneven cradle]

damn was like 87 cad for me

unlucky canada

[glacial wind]

Yea shipping plus Steph missed the discount coupon

[uneven cradle]

yeah with the discount is was actually like 67

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/adeus-volte-sempre-gif-13566867734332124302

[glacial wind]

Problem is I don’t know any Canadian geon dealers

[uneven cradle]

feeling spoilt for choice for once

[untold wigeon]

Wait jade and jade pro are different?

[glacial wind]

So even waiting doesn’t help them with the raws if Canada doesn’t get a dealer

[glacial wind]

Yeah

[untold wigeon]

Was the difference

[glacial wind]

Jade pros are like raw he tightness

So just slightly improved jades

But they’re also expensive at $70+ pre shipping

USD

[calm pulsar]

that would be maxes

hade pro are 56

[glacial wind]

Nah that’s for 70

[calm pulsar]

for 70pcs

[glacial wind]

She needs 90

[calm pulsar]

ah okay

[glacial wind]

Best bet if you want jade pro/max for less is after a few months the aliexpress dealers start doing sales normally

[uneven cradle]

this was my order I think shipping was like $20 with just switches

[glacial wind]

Just like how jades these days are cheap on aliexpress

Wooting did say they’ll try to eventually start stocking raw he too, but that could take awhile

[untold wigeon]

Will I face any compatibility issues on my switches with there keycaps:
https://kbdfans.com/collections/keycaps/products/starry-sky-moa-profile-keycaps-set

[dapper obsidian]

any1 got their hands on Jade maxs?

[glacial wind]

nah you're fine

[dapper obsidian]

its just cherry profile thats always a risk on north facing Boards

[glacial wind]

btw if you like cutesy pastel type stuff, osume is canadian brand that does tons of keycaps in that theme

[untold wigeon]

Not cutesy per say, I just liked the starry type beat

I'm a little zesty though no lie

When it comes to keycaps

[ionic breach]

nvm saw the link

should be good

[untold wigeon]

I just looked them up, all their keycaps are double the price and they are really plain

Wish they had more stuff in stock D:

[glacial wind]

yeah osume is plain/comfy vibe, probably not zesty enough for you

[untold wigeon]

XD

The price is the main thing

I like them though

[ionic breach]

ya usually kbdfans is the same price

but the one u looking at is like half the price

along with a handful other ones

[untold wigeon]

Yea so its very nifty :)

[frosty storm]

do someone know a site who sell 1pcs pokemon keycaps 😔

[ionic breach]

yes

etsy

[gaunt plume]

[long panther]

any decent keycaps site?

[ionic breach]

yup

[left depot]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[ionic breach]

you want a list or just a one

[long panther]

list is alr thanks

[calm pulsar]

oh that's interesting
I believe Wooting doesnt have any other vendors anywhere in the world except the official website?

[ionic breach]

sold out in 30 minutes

[calm pulsar]

yeah those people are lucky cause it's basically an in stock wooting in their country and they don't have to wait

@tawdry tree well I had success with stock stabs + TX AP long pole stems

tilting keycap issue is gone

[tawdry tree]

Cherry clip ins don’t fit cherry holes. 🎉🥳

[calm pulsar]

yeah its funny, maybe those cherry are fake or cafege cut their plates a bit narrower? though stock stabs installed with zero issues

[tawdry tree]

stock stabs are like 6.60mm wide, almost right up to spec

cherry stabs were that much wider to cause an issue

[calm pulsar]

yeah it's so annoying lol
thankfully cafege made plates that are compatible with all screw-ins/clip-ins

I love the alu plate btw, kinda don't even want any softer plates for the frog

[gaunt plume]

It's official!

[gaunt plume]

It went on sale at 6:00 and was sold out by the time I checked the website at 6:08🥶

[calm pulsar]

the HE community in Japan is huge

[ionic breach]

hopefully they had protection against scalpers

[wraith widget]

Maxgaming

[cyan zodiac]

Thank you

[calm pulsar]

thank YOU, the frog is amazing, can't get enough of the typing feel

[cyan zodiac]

What you mean by cherry hole?

[tawdry tree]

In the whole of Asia you mean 😂

[tawdry tree]

Cherry spec, 6.65mm

width^

stab holes.

[cyan zodiac]

Stab hole for stock plate?

[tawdry tree]

Cherry spec stab holes

Which Wooting uses for their plates as well.

[calm pulsar]

I think the alue plate that I got was cut to be the same as on wooting

[cyan zodiac]

If they use cherry spec stab holes wouldn't you thinking they would work with cherry clip ins?

[tawdry tree]

HA

My thought exactly.

[calm pulsar]

yeah but for some reason mine didnt work and there was a guy here too with similar issue

but I tuned the stock stabs together with TX AP stems and they are just perfect

[tawdry tree]

I loveee stem swapped stabs!

Stem swapped everything!

[calm pulsar]

they are literally monochromes lol

[cyan zodiac]

With stock or our plates?

[calm pulsar]

your alu plate

[calm pulsar]

and actually might be the same with stock ones too

[cyan zodiac]

The one we just released or the one that came with frog?

[tawdry tree]

If Cherry clip in stabs are wider than 6.65mm, I’d assume those stab holes were never intended for PCB mounts in the first place. 🤷‍♂️

[cyan zodiac]

Cause the stock holes are made for plate mount and the holes for them are different from clip ins

[calm pulsar]

the one with the frog
those that were released I don’t have

it would make sense to order if I order a many different things, not worth it for the plate only

[calm pulsar]

yeah that’s my assumption

[tawdry tree]

Doesn’t make sense otherwise

[calm pulsar]

maybe wooting just made a custom to accommodate both?

when they released the module

monochrome stabs

[cyan zodiac]

The stock stabs are smaller than the normal Chery spec to fit in the stab holes

[calm pulsar]

yeah I guess this is why people had varied success with plate mount stabs and different 3rd party plates

[tawdry tree]

Nah def not. It’s a standard hole size

Or standard to a point that everyone uses it

[calm pulsar]

I meant the custom design for the stock pcb mount stab on the module

[tawdry tree]

Commonly referred to as cherry spec from my understanding

[calm pulsar]

cause it seems to be indeed narrower than cherry spec

[tawdry tree]

Oh, that’s just Gateron stabs which are slimmer so they fit those holes as well.

Similar to panda V3s and SW Knights for example.

[cyan zodiac]

so if it cherry spec but doesn't fit cherry stabs then that is

[calm pulsar]

I ordered sw knights from korea, we’ll see if they fit this alu plate

some froggie frog

[sour dagger]

Hello! Has anyone tried the panda HE switches for wooting?

[tawdry tree]

From Glorious right?

[sour dagger]

yep

[tawdry tree]

Yeah they do, they’re slimmer than Gateron stabs.

[sour dagger]

haven't seen tactile HE switches I wanna see hear how they are like

[tawdry tree]

I don’t think they’ve been tested yet but they’re from the same manufacturer as Outemu switches.

[calm pulsar]

panda HE???

[tawdry tree]

Which work fine.

[calm pulsar]

im interested

[tawdry tree]

Same as those Outemus, not great at all.

[calm pulsar]

ohh bummer

[sour dagger]

[tawdry tree]

Prob the second worst HE switches tbh

It’s good that the manufacturer at least offers some interesting things for HE, like tactile, clicky and silent.

[calm pulsar]

yeah I would love a good tactile HE switch to test
clicky not so much

[tawdry tree]

I mean you can get those Outemus, they’re like $5 for 35 😂

[calm pulsar]

it would be a sin to put them on wooting pcb

[tawdry tree]

Def lmao

[stone flax]

they deffo will

because knights are the greatest stabs to grace this earth

[uneven cradle]

I just put them in lubed with a bit of 205g0 and they are sounding and feeling quite nice

I'll upload some pics tomorrow

[stone flax]

what config

[calm pulsar]

just standard clear ones

[stone flax]

I mean in general

For the board

[calm pulsar]

ah you just tagged the message where I said I ordered stabs lol

[stone flax]

[calm pulsar]

so raws with geon 62.5 springs, only added lube for the springs
alu plate
stock module stabs w/ TX AP long pole stems

poron plate foam

60a tadpoles

force break too

I will do a sound test at some point
it sounds so nice and soft, and feels like that too

dream HE keyboard

[pine shoal]

Wait huh, on the tracking it said they couldn’t deliver today so it would be tomorrow but then i get this mail

[fresh citrus]

For the tape mod am I taping this side or do I need to pull it out? And for the burger mount mod and I doing it for the screws I took out for the top plate?

[pine shoal]

Disappointment is gone

[fresh citrus]

The screws next to my mouse

[crimson sky]

tape would go on the other side of the PCB

and you don't wanna burger mount a wooting two

even a tape mod could cause issues with it

[stone flax]

what

[fresh citrus]

Ok thought so and really? How come it would cause issues?

[stone flax]

No

No

No

No

Backside of pcb

[fresh citrus]

Mhm but why would burger mount be bad for a wooting two

[stone flax]

my guy

is the 2he even traymount

its not

[fresh citrus]

Tbh I thought you could do it with this KB and no one said otherwise lol

Until like just now

[elfin garnet]

I won lol

Thank you to @stray tiger for tipping about raffles

[stone flax]

60he is modding friendly

[calm pulsar]

nice, grats!

[fresh citrus]

Ok but I have a 2he

[stone flax]

60he is modding friendly

[tawdry tree]

PostNL is and has been on crack cocaine the last few years.

[elfin garnet]

looks sick! How you liking the sound/feel?

[crimson sky]

it is

[crimson sky]

because the plate would not mount flush to the case anymore

[calm pulsar]

can't get enough of it, chilling on monkeytype all day lol

[crimson sky]

you need to have the PCB sit exaclty where it is supposed to sit for the plate to mount flush

[fresh citrus]

Mmm I see

[calm pulsar]

softer feel for clacky sound was my dream sound for wooting, and the frog is insane for this

[crimson sky]

to a point where a tape mod can already affect that

[crimson sky]

what plate material

[calm pulsar]

it does say, aluminum

[crimson sky]

hey, reading is hard

nice tho

[west sparrow]

https://youtube.com/shorts/-b_G6G_FHMI?si=0cQ2jQtKG95fDBuY

hmm the jade max sound.. unlubed here

[exotic inlet]

They could have done a way better video tbh because that background noise is not letting us to hear the switches correctly

[fluid ravine]

Looking good Arc

[loud zephyr]

bro is typing like it's his first time searching for booba, and worried dad will open the door uninvited

[calm pulsar]

thanks!
I ended up redoing the stabs
but TX AP long poles work with the stock ones

[fluid ravine]

LOL

[elfin garnet]

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

[elfin garnet]

yeah I agree. Good to hear you like it! Knew those green caps would look good on the silver

[elfin garnet]

literally me lmao

[calm pulsar]

yeah and I also had to take a pic with black snail for all geon experience lol

[elfin garnet]

I don't use low actuation when typing tho. I hold caps + enter to switch profiles when I wanna type. Think my typing profiles has 2.5

[elfin garnet]

yeah had to be done lol

[elfin garnet]

my fn is on caps lock hold

[calm pulsar]

I gotta try that some time, cause I've been typing on 0.1mm since day 1 lol

[elfin garnet]

yeah I messed up so much on 0.1 - swapping profiles is so effortless if you keybind it right so I never type on 0.1 unless im mid game or something

[sinful granite]

how u guys like it?

[left depot]

I love old typewriters

[exotic inlet]

Sound test needed

[spare mauve]

I need sound test jade vs max vs pro @ 80he :c

[mighty egret]

and raw he

[tropic urchin]

Why does Gateron insist on using the same terrible video 😒

[ruby hill]

lmao

[mint burrow]

is there any silent he switches that works with wooting?

[mighty egret]

gateron "silent" magnetic switches but theyre not that silent

[polar girder]

Just on each side of all tadpoles? That’s smart. Nice. Paper medical tape?

[mint burrow]

okay thanks ill check them out i saw glorious released some with their new board you have any idea about them?

[polar girder]

Grats bro. That’s exciting

[mighty egret]

glorious is hot ass

[calm pulsar]

I did it on each side of the screw holes but also spots where there's a big amount of space between any holes, yeah seems like paper medical tape

[polar girder]

Oh for screw holes

[elfin garnet]

Ty broski

[polar girder]

Yeah that makes more sense lol

I might just use that since I have plenty of it

[calm pulsar]

yeah cause on YT i've seen ppl saying to put tape near screw holes

[elfin garnet]

Yeah that's what I did. Near screw holes

[celest parrot]

How well lubed are the raw he?

[polar girder]

I feel like @elfin garnet poked the screw right through the tape no?

[celest parrot]

I'm battling myself to not learn how to lube

[calm pulsar]

they are very good, I only bag lubed springs

[polar girder]

Raw and Black Knights seem to be the first HE that don’t really need a lube job TBH

[calm pulsar]

though you may get away without lubing them

[polar girder]

but I think they both benefit from bag lube springs

[celest parrot]

How about lekkers v2

[elfin garnet]

what no lol

[celest parrot]

I think opening a switch is tedious enough lol

[rugged garden]

Factory lube job is pretty decent

[calm pulsar]

raws are the most tedious to open too lol

and assemble back cause of the diffuser

[celest parrot]

Oh no

[calm pulsar]

extra steps required

[celest parrot]

Also why ppl get the knight v2 stabs?

[calm pulsar]

they are the same dimensions as stock pcb mount stabs and generally very easy to tune

but tbh stock ones are perfectly fine

[celest parrot]

Ty for confirming

I don't like modding but I paid so much on this keyboard I want it to be perfect

[calm pulsar]

well the good thing about it is that you can mod it if you want at a later point

[celest parrot]

Ima just switch keycaps to gmk cosmos and put some raw he

I hope I don't need any lubing and the sound will be good

[calm pulsar]

it won't be forever tho hehe

at some point you might start hearing spring ping

though raw springs are quieter compared to other switches

[celest parrot]

I hate spring ping

Cuz of my apex pro mini

It's like a church bill

[calm pulsar]

yeah which is why I bag lubed the springs on my raws right away

[celest parrot]

Ok bro I'll get the lubing kit

If my fingers hurt I'll call god on u

Jk

[calm pulsar]

I am god's most autistic luber, so all good

[stone flax]

overkill

Baglube raws spring

[celest parrot]

Will you guys add any more foam to your 80HEs?

[stone flax]

[stone flax]

realistically

you are new

[celest parrot]

Yes

[polar girder]

Oh lol mb

[stone flax]

you can very likely fuck up the already fine lube job and lead to inconsistent switches

my advice

run over the rails

baglube springs

done

[celest parrot]

I know my limits

[stone flax]

If even lol

[stone flax]

and im telling you dont just lube things to lube things

less is more

[celest parrot]

You know what good sir

Ima lessen to you

[ionic breach]

idk what he is on

more is obv more

its in the name

[stone flax]

true

put dielectric grease in the switch

more is better always /s

[dark quest]

I want my switches to sound like a boot stuck in mud.

[polar girder]

Lubricant or Lubri-can??

[polar girder]

Gross

lol

[little glen]

Dunk the whole board in a bucket of lube

[naive quartz]

so i just ordered a wooting 2 he and i was wondering what kind of keycaps would fit it

i wanna get a white and navy blue set if possible but i dunno which type of keycaps fits my keyboard

[polar girder]

Like most of them

[stone flax]

mx cross style

[polar girder]

Like a lot of profiles will work so long as they fit MX stem which is standard

[stone flax]

most you find

[stone flax]

unblock ke

Me

Pls

Pls

Pls

[polar girder]

Just don’t get some weird low profile thing and you’re probably fine

[jade storm]

How do i fix it?

[stone flax]

[naive quartz]

thanksss

[cedar gate]

How many grams on that thing

[cedar gate]

Something like pbtfans clein blue or umbra is pretty good

You could mix clein with BOW even

[tawdry tree]

It’s always easier to remove the problem at first, so I’d detach your index finger for a few weeks then reattach it when you’ve outgrown the bad habit. Best of luck! 💪😃👍

[naive quartz]

clein blue is actually the perfect blue i was looking for wow

[naive quartz]

i'm definitely mixing the two

[jade storm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuiNVdbtx0c

[cedar gate]

Anytime man

[cedar gate]

What other parts u planning to use

[iron bear]

https://youtu.be/MrqHwmSiuFc?si=eBVQNE-5ATZ61OAn&t=257 Actually silent switches, wow

(Yes i know it's Glorious but still Gateron get on with getting them real silents out)

[glacial wind]

is that the mx or he one that you linked to though

there's another section for another silent switch in that video that sounds like that is the he one and the one you linked is the mx one

[iron bear]

I thought it was the HE versions? apparently at 2:10 the Lynx HE silents are showcased & at 2:35 the Panda HE tactiles are shown

[naive quartz]

i rlly like poco, i was thinking of filling the alphabet keys with it and using clein blue on everything else

[glacial wind]

yeah that makes more sense now

the he versions aren't as silent

[naive quartz]

quick question tho
is it viable to maybe paint the outer part of my keyboard white to better match my keycaps? or will i risk ruining it

[iron bear]

Still they are waay more silent than the Gaterons

[glacial wind]

honestly if they sound close up like the techne video i'm not a fan

his video was using the silents and it did not sound good close up

[iron bear]

Oh at what part of the video?

[glacial wind]

it's the one he got flamed for because he said they sounded good

https://youtu.be/NhmVJSn5RDg?si=-O7uMW1HO2QhNh_3&t=201

they're quieter than normal switches for sure but really not loving it

[iron bear]

Yeah

https://youtu.be/7I184Fh4U78?si=SgVzsZGoGt-JOIoK&t=462 This video too have them showcased

I do dislike that board sound especially that spacebar but those switches are more silent

Will probably not buy those switches though but want Gateron or some other brand to start producing some

[ionic breach]

btw

he deleted my comments lmao

about showing how he's lying about this not being a paid promotion

[iron bear]

Don't they have to disclose that?

[ionic breach]

man he really is fked, but whatever its how he eats

ya but who wants to watch an advertisement

its more views and better image this way

[iron bear]

Some just have a text that it's sponsored somewhere in the video

[ionic breach]

he verbally said that this wasnt paid lmao

[iron bear]

Ah ok lol

[ionic breach]

nah hes scummy

he also "forgets" to give out giveaways

man its actually annoying now

[iron bear]

I see 👀

[ionic breach]

apparently all his videos are ads

or at least most

[marsh saffron]

Hipyo moment

[ionic breach]

im not going to lie

im giving hipyo this one

even he said the gmmk are ass

[marsh saffron]

Yes but like, most of his reviews I've seen him speak greatly about were all sponsored

[ionic breach]

ya lmao

[marsh saffron]

Although he did shit on that 500$ Asus(iirc) keyboard

[ionic breach]

but he knows he cant pull this shit off with the gmmk

[marsh saffron]

Yeah he knows when to draw the line with the clearly paid reviews

[languid kestrel]

asking here too if there's a finn who'd lube my switches for compensation 👀 baltics could work too

[jade storm]

https://tenor.com/view/soyjak-spinning-spinning-soyjak-soyjak-jazz-hands-excited-spinning-wojak-gif-25231392

[cedar gate]

Does anyone have a RAW vs Jade pro or max sound test

[tawdry tree]

Precisely. 👹

[tawdry tree]

How you gon have a Yiqian switch and “premium” in the same sentence (also, when they showcased the Lynx Silent HE, was it not clicky af?lol?)

They really are exactly like Gamakay’s Silent Phoenixes, probably a straight recolor.

[cedar gate]

Interesting so just a keycaps swap or a whole build?

Pink and blue doesn't really go with a black case 🤣

Wooting has a nice new vid on 80he assembly

[strong spear]

Is Gateron Magnetic Jade Switches worth buying for my wooting? Are they sensitive keys?

[untold wigeon]

The ftc says you must disclose if a video includes paid promotion

[ionic breach]

correct

but some people dont

and those people are scummy

but whatever, just let him do his thing

[safe stag]

They are worth buying 100% but if I was you I would wait for the release of jades pro and max to buy them instead.
Some people will say "just buy raw he" but don't listen to them. They'll try to lure you into a cult, so beware!

and also, if you still want the basic jades, buy them from the wooting store so you'll get long pole stabs

[crisp imp]

what masking tape does everyone use for tape mod? is there a specific brand i should buy?

[safe stag]

I think it doesn't matter

[crisp imp]

alr

[naive quartz]

yeahh exactly 😭😭 which is why i later asked if it was safe for my keyboard if i could take it apart and paint the casing white without risking it to damage

[glacial wind]

Buy raw he. Pierre just doesn’t like em for some reason. Jades are heavily not worth nowadays

[naive quartz]

sadly i didn’t find any white wooting 2 he’s or else i would’ve bagged the first one i saw

[safe stag]

https://tenor.com/view/preference-glarses-mx-brown-cherry-mx-brown-keyboard-gif-21044520

[glacial wind]

Gateron official pricing kind of sucks on jades too

That’s the problem

Whether preference for whatever else, the problem is you pay way more for jades when raw he are tighter and sound very similar

[safe stag]

sound very similar ?

wtf

[glacial wind]

Yeah they’re both in clack land with slight pitch difference

Although the raw he have tad less chatter sound due to being tighter

You can check the sound tests on wooting YouTube or one of the many YouTube tests comparing them

[safe stag]

already done

[ionic breach]

not brand

but try to use painter's tape

[crisp imp]

yeah i got you

i didnt know if there was a brand people used though

[ionic breach]

it leaves less residue and doesnt harm ur components as much

[crisp imp]

alr ty

[tropic urchin]

I think its just whatever painters tape you can find tbh

[untold wigeon]

The jades are lower pitched

Raws sound a little bit lighter imo

[safe stag]

I'd tend to say the opposite

[glacial wind]

I mean it depends how deep down the sound rabbit hole you want to go

You can always differentiate the sounds a little bit end of the day you have to keep in mind target audience and person asking

Are they someone who’s doing 50 mods to try min max particular sound who wants to know the 5% differences or are they asking a general question of roughly what type of sound can they expect from jades, raw he or whatever other switches they’re asking about

[untold wigeon]

It's a very small difference

I'd say if you blindfolded most people and asked them to try and guess by sound alone only like 50% would be correct

[safe stag]

raw he < jades < neo lavender in term of high pitch

idk where to put lekkers

[untold wigeon]

My friend says the sound the same, but I hear them different

[untold wigeon]

Are lekkers any good

[glacial wind]

It also depends on what sound tests you’re using

[safe stag]

we also don't have the same ears

[glacial wind]

Some are noisier, some use a mic that brings out x more etc

[safe stag]

case, plate

[glacial wind]

That’s why it’s way easier to just group the similarish switches vs the very obviously different switches

[safe stag]

I use alumaze60, seems to sound like a standard alu case

[cedar gate]

Your better off getting another case bro

[glacial wind]

Like if you compare lekker v2 vs raw he you’d probably pick out the difference 9/10 times no problem

[cedar gate]

Tofu in pink or blue will be good

[glacial wind]

Way easier to notice difference in say a closed bottom switch and open bottom one

[cedar gate]

Also get redux and not 2.0 redux is cheaper and better and 2.0 isn't even compatible

[mellow leaf]

are there any new cases for the 80he?

[languid kestrel]

considering it released yesterday... I'd guess no

[mellow leaf]

okai

[strong spear]

Are the GATERON Magnetic Jade Keyboard Switches lightweight and nonforce switches?

[glacial wind]

What do you mean?

the jades are 50g-ish bottom out force

I don’t know what you mean by nonforce though

[languid kestrel]

but are they nonforce

[strong spear]

I’m new to this and just trying to see if they’re lightweight when pressing.

[glacial wind]

Switches are based on their spring force - so any switch can be changed based on the spring inside

Lekker comes in 45g and 60g spring bottom out force. Jades are 50g. raw he are 40/50/60g

And if you need any other forces there are spring packs that wooting and other vendors sell

[young lantern]

what is the us vendor for black knights?

[untold wigeon]

Chat, do y'all think I could make a wooden case for the 80he with zero experience

[polar girder]

If you’re determined enough

[languid kestrel]

I'd say no

[stray tiger]

Get em off aliexpress and save some cash

[languid kestrel]

I mean after investing hundreds of hours into it and some hundreds into tools, maybe

[polar girder]

Idk I bought mine from KPRepublic

[stray tiger]

Yes you could

[young lantern]

hmm yeah closest i saw was ashkeebs but thats ca

[untold wigeon]

The hardest part would probably be the wood work and the special little connector for the 80he right

[young lantern]

would you have link perhaps

[stray tiger]

The hard part would be making something nice. You only asked if you could, not if it would look good.

[untold wigeon]

I mean just a simple aesthetic with like Polyurethane wood finish would probably look fine right

I think its pretty hard to make wood look bad

[stray tiger]

https://gprivate.com/6db7x

[untold wigeon]

But its all subjective though since were just talking aesthetics

[languid kestrel]

the hard part is making the intricate insides for the gasket mount

what tools do you have

[young lantern]

never ordered aliexpress, lots of vendors wasnt comfortable

[untold wigeon]

None but I was thinking of learning online and then renting a woodwork station

[ionic breach]

thats so fking cool

[untold wigeon]

Well I mean I do have basic tools like a circular saw, I just don't have anything that can do precision cutting

[languid kestrel]

I think you need a few hundred hours of actually working with wood under your belt with different tools and woods

[valid needle]

Hi community I have a question hoping you’d can help me with it but I saw that the the back lighting is programmable but is it programmable to light up specific keys with specific colours for key bindings

[stray tiger]

Just check the reviews

[languid kestrel]

it's an intricate project which in my opinion is not really suitable as your first

[austere creek]

you can do whatever you want with the rgb

for more complex things we offer an rgb sdk so you can send completely custom RGB to the keyboard

[dawn stag]

are jade pros any different sounding than normal jades

[untold wigeon]

I see

[valid needle]

Sweet that would help me loads as I have a visual impairment lol thank you very much for your reply 🙂

[languid kestrel]

I'm going to be making one, haven't received mine yet and the cad files haven't been published yet so I don't know how hard making the insides is going to be

[untold wigeon]

Its probably harder to make the insides than for the 60he

[languid kestrel]

realistically you'll need at least a router and lots of time to make routing jigs, or taking the easier way out and using a CNC

indeed, GH60 case is just an empty box

[untold wigeon]

[languid kestrel]

then you just screw in stand-ins and you're done

the 80HE is a custom gasket mount that needs both the top and bottom sides to be machined in a particular way and to interface in a particular way

I'm under no illusion that I'll spend upwards of dozens of hours just prototyping mine most likely

[marsh saffron]

My beloved door wedge (tofu)

[untold wigeon]

Let me know how it goes

[languid kestrel]

sure thing :>

[cedar gate]

Yeah honestly GH60 is worse redux

[untold wigeon]

Also quick question, what wood to you intend do use?

Will you use a different wood type when doing the first few tries

And how expensive is it for you

[languid kestrel]

yet to decide but I have a bunch of mahogany so will probably make one mahogany at least

[compact condor]

anyone modded their 80he? im wondering how much space their is between the case and PCB. im asking due to tape mod and other sound modifications

[languid kestrel]

and yes I'll probably use a mix of just scrap pine and stuff to do the rough prototypes and whatever sheetstock (plywoods and the like) I can get my hands on as well

[untold wigeon]

I see

[languid kestrel]

how expensive is what?

[stray tiger]

There is plenty of room to tape mod. There is even a video on the Wooting youtube channel

[untold wigeon]

The wood you will be using

In your own local currency

[compact condor]

just saw the video. didn’t really give me the kind of view I was looking for so I decided to ask here instead

[languid kestrel]

I think sapele is around 1800€/m³ and khaya in the ballpark of 2600€/m³ (both common variants of mahogany)

a keyboard's worth is probably like 20€

so it's not the worst in terms of material cost

[cedar gate]

Your woodworking a case for wooting?

[languid kestrel]

mhm

[untold wigeon]

Making one for the 80he when they release the measurments

[stray tiger]

There is enough room to tape mod for sure. Not enough room to add additional case foam though

[languid kestrel]

making one for myself to start and if it turns out something worthwhile I might be able to sell it but it's gonna be expensive ahah

[cedar gate]

Try walnut with rubiomonocoat

[compact condor]

Ah I see, i’ll do some experimenting when I receive mine and share for sure.

[languid kestrel]

I don't really have access to the particularly american woods and finishes

[cedar gate]

Walnut grows in most places you should be able to order it

[languid kestrel]

I mean I could source some walnut but importing a particular finish is not worthwhile usually

[cedar gate]

You can get it on Amazon for cheap

[languid kestrel]

I don't order from amazon

there's a local alternative for that product anyway that's mostly the same, considering the application

so I don't particularly feel like buying a 100€ little bottle

[outer bough]

For the wooting80he their are no aftermarket cases right?

[harsh canyon]

None rn

[languid kestrel]

not right now, perhaps in the future

[eternal girder]

give a months tops and kbdfans will have already made one lol

[outer bough]

Have they said if they would sell the PCR ghost case separately? Thinking on getting the zinc case, but maybe in the future I want to get the ghost case in other colors

[languid kestrel]

yep the chinese are gonna make some quite quickly I'm sure

[languid kestrel]

I think you've always been able to purchase them separately

https://wooting.io/product/wooting-80he-pcr-abs-case?Color=Frost

[outer bough]

oh did not check the accesories part

well hoping for someone to sell a ghost case in purple

[languid kestrel]

ghost specifically is the name of the dark transparent one, I guess you want a purple transparent one

I'm hoping wooting will release some extra plastic cases in fun colors for sure, I know they were experimenting with things

[outer bough]

yeah that

[languid kestrel]

I seem to recall mansen even has a purple translucent case sample that doesn't actually fit the PCB and innards haha

[outer bough]

something similar to this will pretty awesome to be honest

[languid kestrel]

yeah it's something lots of people have expressed wanting so here's hoping

[outer bough]

how are the stabs in current wooting boards? I heard in the initial runs of the 60he their were some issues and people were changing them

[languid kestrel]

I think unless you're a die-hard keyboard modder and for some reason want a particular stab set, the stock ones are as good as anyone needs

just some lubing and stuff and they're perfect

[cedar gate]

Probably will be some in the future but for now zinc is great

[chilly mural]

Each button with their own FN layer

that'll be cool

and overkill

[strong spear]

Anyone know any good light tactile switches for my wooting 60 he

[cedar gate]

It's a big bottle tho and if you do get it it's great for almost any woodworking application looks particularly stunning on walnut though

[cedar gate]

Ks20u?

[cedar gate]

Anything with closed bottom is usually clacky

[polar girder]

Clacky^

Tactile isn’t a thing for HE yet

[cedar gate]

Thx

[polar girder]

Unless you do some crazy transplant thing

Some people have done that

[cedar gate]

Yeah I think he meant smth similar

[polar girder]

I think

Right

[cedar gate]

Ks20u is about as close you can get to a tactile

[strong spear]

Isn’t the ks20u and the GATERON Magnetic Jade Keyboard Switches the same thing?

[cedar gate]

No

Ks20u is dual rail lekker

Ks20k aka jades is a different switch

[cedar gate]

The only similarity is that they are both made by the same company gatreon

[stone flax]

No

[polar girder]

Idk if that’s true

I mean tactile is like pretty specific

And nothing is tactile

So idk

[stone flax]

It is you misunderstanding person

[cedar gate]

Ig but it does kinda sound and feel similar with a slight bump

[stone flax]

@cedar gate tell him tactile he exists

Lmao

[cedar gate]

Alright no need to stoop to insults

Even if it is he probably didn't know

[stone flax]

? Hes spreading misinformation

yet again

lol

[cedar gate]

What tactile switches are there for HE?

I'm curious

[stray tiger]

Nicer please

[stone flax]

there we go

[cedar gate]

So anyways what switches are there?

[stray tiger]

What GOOD tactile HE switches are there already. I fixed it for you

[stone flax]

there are none

glorious ones are pretty

uhhhh

lets say not good

lol

[safe stag]

xD

[stray tiger]

None of them are good or even worth mentioning

[cedar gate]

🤣

[polar girder]

Is there tactile HE?

Just useless? Lol

[stray tiger]

There are 2-3 yes and they are shit

[cedar gate]

I'll bet there is a reason idk about them

[polar girder]

Oh gotcha. Didn’t even realize. I guess that’s why

[safe stag]

just buy mx browns

[cedar gate]

It's still cool I bet they will be better one day

[cedar gate]

Don't work on he

[stray tiger]

If they were good, or even good enough, you would know about them!

[safe stag]

I know

Serious question here : do you consider mx browns as tactile or linear ?

[stone flax]

? tactile

[chilly mural]

tactile, I can feel it slightly

[cedar gate]

Tactile

[stone flax]

is this a joke question

[cedar gate]

It's just a subtle tactile

Not a fan tho tbh

[stone flax]

it has its place

[safe stag]

because the bump is soo small I personally, like many people in the community, consider them as not real tactile

[stone flax]

? Thats not ur question

u asked is it a tactile

Yes

Because it has a tactile bump

[cedar gate]

It's not really an opinon thing

[stone flax]

Yeah lol

[cedar gate]

It either is or isn't

[stone flax]

we can debate whether its a good or bad or strong tactile

[safe stag]

I was asking about your opinion

[stone flax]

but its still a tactile

[stone flax]

its not an opinion thing

people who call browns linears have either overlubed it to the point the bump is removed or half joking

[cedar gate]

If it has a bump no matter how subtle it's tactile

[stone flax]

by definition

it is a tactile

[cedar gate]

🤣🤣

[stray tiger]

Ive been on an egg in the hole kick for the last 3 days. Why not make it 4

[elfin sparrow]

Is there a reference for case dimensions for the 60HE+ module? I'd like to desgin a custom case for the tray mount but haven't had any luck in finding specfications for the standoff placement and depth for the module

A spec sheet or cad file for reference, etc

[stray tiger]

GH60 or DZ60 spec is what youre looking for

[safe stag]

I wasn't asking if it was tactile because they're sold as such. I was asking if the bump was noticeable enough for you to consider it tactile. I wanted to know more about your opinion since this issue seems to be a hot topic in the community.
I actually regret asking this question now

[stone flax]

https://i.imgur.com/LQXco3J_d.webp?maxwidth=1520&fidelity=grand

gh60^

[cedar gate]

All I know is the pcb is 1.6mm if I were you I would look a the proportions of an official case

[stray tiger]

Thats what you need

[cedar gate]

Oh thats cool

Awesome, exactly what I was looking for. Much appreciated

cherry mx switches?

[stone flax]

not cherry no

[dusky nest]

Hello! I've got a problem with a recent switch to the Gateron Jade Magnetic switches on my Wooting 60 HE... I can feel the "rocking" of my shift key and space bar... I've found a lot of people mentioning the stabilizers are "too long" to shorter travel from the switches, but I can't seem to find a good suggestion for plate-mounted stabilizers that I can buy. Anyone got a suggestion? Gateron's option for the "Plate mounted v2 stabilizer set" specifically says its a 4mm travel distance, which doesn't sound like a solution... If you have a DIY suggestion that I can do at home, I'm interested in that as well!

[pulsar schooner]

You need long pole stabs

[calm pulsar]

TX AP long pole plate mount stabs

the only option that I heard of for plate mounts

[stone flax]

long pole stabilizer

[dusky nest]

This look right? https://divinikey.com/products/tx-ap-long-pole-plate-mount-stabilizers?srsltid=AfmBOopvcxb0WZsZyhO80zXhCUO5xEzj_KOf0HKM9MOBTu5hs2hwR5AZ

[stray tiger]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399

[calm pulsar]

yes, but I never used them personally
hopefully no fitting issues with them

[stone flax]

fitting issues were mainly with the pcb mount vers right

[dusky nest]

I think there's a difference between PCB mount and Plate mount, right?

[stone flax]

There is

one isnt going to work on 60he non plus

[calm pulsar]

yeah but I remember Thackson saying smth about his tx ap plate mounts

[stone flax]

I think it was his screw ins

Goat stabs right here ^^

same jwk mold as durocks

But like

2 bucks

[uneven cradle]

Plate mounts are fine can confirm 👍

[dusky nest]

I have the 60 HE+ (I didn't realize it was the plus, and didn't realize there was even a difference)

[stone flax]

you can do screw in/clip in or platemount

up to you

[dusky nest]

Suggestions? I've never replaced stabilizers, and ideally this would be whatever one is easier to do correctly, lol.

[stone flax]

u just need any long pole stab right

[stray tiger]

Go with plate mount for ease

They are easy to remove and tune without full disasembly

[dusky nest]

I mean, the only change I'll be making will be replacing the stabilizers. I have Gateron Jade magnetic switches in right now. Bought them from KBDFans.

[stray tiger]

If you want the easiest solution, just get some stem spacers for your stabilizers - #🪛│modding_faq message

[dusky nest]

Would that change the feel at all?

feel/sound?

[stone flax]

stem spacers?

no

[stray tiger]

Nope. Just fills that slight gap you are talking about that causes the tilt

[cedar gate]

How to get helper role? I think I wanna try for it

[stray tiger]

Send an application request to @left depot

[cedar gate]

Thx I'll do that

[dusky nest]

I'm seeing "o-rings" and then what looks like a disk with the stem shape cut into the center... I know o-rings make keys feel spongey, so I assume I'll still feel a little give for the rock on the keyboard. Is the disk the suggestion, then?

[stone flax]

stem spacers

stem

spacers

[stray tiger]

Either works. Its not being applied to the switches, just the stem of your stabilizers

Awesome, right okay. Thanks a bunch. I didn't even see this option when I searched, I was finding a bunch of clear plastic looking ones that are in a disc shape

Lol, I guess another approach would be to just put the Wooting switches back on the long keys... ha ha ha

[stray tiger]

You could do that too 🙂

[forest fiber]

do all keycaps work with the keyboard?

[stray tiger]

Most MX stem keycaps work

would theese work?

[stone flax]

[stray tiger]

They would fit but I can't confirm if any of the metals interfere with the magnetic switches. Id ask them

[forest fiber]

ah i see thats true didnt think bout dat

[dusky nest]

Not to mention if they're heavier than regular kaps you might experience weirdness with key activation

(its one of the reasons I avoided using ceramic keycaps, although they sound really good)

[forest fiber]

ty

[stone flax]

add on to that i think theyre gonna sound terrible

lol

[jade storm]

I wish these were aluminum

[jade storm]

Nah, they'll never degrade either

[dusky nest]

Thanks all for the help, everyone! I was trying to tag everyone that helped out. I swapped back to the wooting switches for the long keys while I wait for my solution to get delivered :)

[tawdry tree]

What are/is your stabs, board and keycap?

[elfin garnet]

You know what they say "Never scroll past a Harry Mack video" lol

[stone flax]

keyboard

[odd grail]

What are those springs that are like, two springs put together that have an even pressure all the way through?

[stone flax]

snake oil

is what they are

[odd grail]

lmao

These?

[stone flax]

yes

get good consistent springs in the length and weight you want

dont worry about that stuff cuz theyre largely just bull

[odd grail]

Rn I'm just not a fan of the ones I have because I'd prefer something much lighter but I figured these would be cool

[odd grail]

wdym?

[stone flax]

is this for an mx switch?

[odd grail]

No, they're for HE switches

[stone flax]

those springs arent he compatible

[odd grail]

Very good to know lmao

[stone flax]

u need wider diameter springs in the case of he because the stem pole is bigger

[odd grail]

That makes sense

[stone flax]

(Magnet is inside lols)

[odd grail]

Yea

[stone flax]

what bottom out weight do you like?

[odd grail]

I'm not sure if I have a weight in mind but the ones I have currently are 55g which is a bit much for me

[stone flax]

and are you situated in eu na au?

[odd grail]

NMA

NA*

[stone flax]

vendors wise what are ur options

ok

[odd grail]

Do you have something or somewhere in mind?

[stone flax]

You can find he springs in places like amazon and aliexpress and vendors that comes in all sorts of lengths and weights but if i had to recommend one i think would be consistently great quality

[odd grail]

Is this $5 for 115 springs?

[jade storm]

This is cultural appropriation if I've ever seen it

[odd grail]

[stray tiger]

[stone flax]

yes, but oh my god that shipping
