[young lantern]

damn

[harsh dove]

and yeah those should work

[paper bloom]

Welcome to aliexpress site tracking

[young lantern]

😅

the ones on ae are all mostly similar arent they

[calm pulsar]

I have these 48g ones, they do work with HE switches

I wish they made more weights though

[random loom]

Don’t mind me asking a dumb question how does the spring affect the sound

[calm pulsar]

springs are mostly for different feel, not for sound

it's best if you don't hear the springs cause they make the sound noisy

[tiny summit]

Hello everyone! I want to get a working 60he, and I had the idea of implementing kilt with a different thin foam for maximum shocking sound. I thought of an acrylic case with ceramic keycaps and the new jade max switches. Does anyone have a better idea of how to structure this? 🙂

[uneven cradle]

Also have a little 3d printed keyboard stand

[young lantern]

would you mind sending the link?

[calm pulsar]

it's the one that you linked

[young lantern]

oh i see

ive been eying them since i saw the new jades with them but is there any downsides to switching out the ones on the raws

like quality wise it doesnt matter does it

[random loom]

Mhm ok

[calm pulsar]

you have the cafege alu plate right?

[random loom]

That look cool

[uneven cradle]

I do

[calm pulsar]

we might have the exact same config lol, depending on the tadpoles and switches

[wooden solar]

i already got this space bar

GMK Indigo or GMK Terror Below to go with it?

[calm pulsar]

the spacebar is nice but I would want to use a gmk spacebar for sure with a gmk set, cause their spacebars are very good

[polar girder]

You like it? I haven’t tried mine yet

[uneven cradle]

Im just using the stock tadpoles that came with the kit but I'm using my PP plate atm but other then that we twins

[calm pulsar]

tbh it might be better suited for closed bottom switches

[wooden solar]

alright thanks man!

[uneven cradle]

I also haven't tried mine yet

[polar girder]

Lolz

Yeah also happy on PP

[calm pulsar]

I gotta get a PP plate, everyone seems to like em

[polar girder]

I’m very curious to compare it to Nylon

But I def prefer it to PC

[uneven cradle]

The PP plate tadpole holes were too small it took way too much effort to force them in so if I use a the alu plate I'm gonna get new tadpoles because I ain't taking them out again

[polar girder]

Oh dang

[calm pulsar]

I ordered the lightest and the hardest tadpoles from geon along with the venom60he plate
probably never going to use 90a ones lol

[stone flax]

Gmk spacebar

gmk spacebars just hit right when they hit right

not too sharp not too muted

[polar girder]

Hmmm lol

[calm pulsar]

yeah I tried going for a domikey spacebar once, just for the looks but I immediately noticed that it's trash compared to gmk

[untold wigeon]

That’s how babies are made

lol

[robust siren]

🤨

[calm pulsar]

lol

[untold wigeon]

Yo I got a layer of foam in my 80he case do I keep that in there when assembling or was that just packaging material?

[robust siren]

this was not on my 2024 list, seeing people talk about baby making in a mod channel for a keyboard

[robust siren]

it depends on what sound you want

you can try it with and without the foam

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/money-money-money-make-it-rain-dolla-dolla-bills-dollars-cash-gif-15485267

[untold wigeon]

Thocc

[robust siren]

thock is hard to get on hall effect keyboards

[untold wigeon]

I assembled it thinking it was packaging thing, but I just realised it might be part of the keyboard.

[untold wigeon]

Well as much as I can get, so foam go in or out?

[untold wigeon]

Not for @quiet bay

[stone flax]

depends on foam

[calm pulsar]

foam in

[polar girder]

Need more plates

[robust siren]

i dont have an 80he so............

no comment

[stone flax]

people gotta stop thinking foam = thock/mute

[calm pulsar]

my thoughts exactly lol

[stone flax]

it literally just alters case sound

[random loom]

Something am planning to do rn

Got 2 months to plan and nail it in first try

[untold wigeon]

This foam was in the case itself in the box

[robust siren]

hes she using lekkers and cerakeys right?

[untold wigeon]

I think she has jades and Cerakey

[random loom]

Does PE foam thock more or epda

[polar girder]

What

Jades?

[untold wigeon]

What?

[calm pulsar]

lekkers and cerakey

[polar girder]

Switch tape mod lekker v1’s

[untold wigeon]

It is lekker? Oh ok

[robust siren]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[polar girder]

Or maybe 1.5v or whatever idk

But yeah

[untold wigeon]

No clue. Idk even know what foam types there r

[random loom]

Right ok

[cold bloom]

Finally

[polar girder]

Bruh

You like that?

[cold bloom]

I do

[polar girder]

lol what’s the purpose

[stone flax]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[robust siren]

i just dont like the way cerakeys look

[stone flax]

stepped caps

[cold bloom]

The keycap?

[random loom]

They look plain imo

[polar girder]

Yeah the alt shape caps lock

Is it just aesthetic or what

[cold bloom]

Just to avoid hitting it but mostly aesthetic

[polar girder]

Ah I guess that makes sense

I wish I had that for Tab now that you mention it

[cold bloom]

Some old keyboards used to do it on control and alt also

[polar girder]

Often hit Scoreboard (Tab) when I’m trying to bring out Primary gun (1)

[robust siren]

please use windows screenshot 🙏

[cold bloom]

That’s true actually

[cold bloom]

Was too lazy

[polar girder]

Bro why everyone ro elitist about screenshots

Get over it. Jeeeez

[cold bloom]

Lmao idk

[polar girder]

Reddit is like always blowing up cuz someone took a picture

Like bruh

lol

[robust siren]

understandable

[cold bloom]

had my camera out to take the keycap photo and just defaulted to it lol

anyway I mostly just like the way it looks

idk how it would work on tab but could be intersting

[polar girder]

I think I’m just going to unbind scoreboard to tab lol

But yeah

[cold bloom]

good idea

[polar girder]

Could be

[random loom]

Ok guys what’s left

[robust siren]

whats electrical tape for?

[calm pulsar]

no electrical tape

[polar girder]

What case are you using?

[random loom]

Wait what

[calm pulsar]

electrical is too sticky

[polar girder]

NO. ELECTRICAL TAPE.

[calm pulsar]

just use painters

[random loom]

Just the normal pcr case am broke

[random loom]

Kk

[polar girder]

oh it’s 80HE nice

[cold bloom]

I think 80HE comes with a tape mod sheet doesn't it?

or is that just prebuilt

[polar girder]

Yes

Oh idk

[cold bloom]

I'd imagine it's on the module too

[polar girder]

Is there a 80HE Module?

[cold bloom]

ya

[calm pulsar]

oh right I think its preinstalled on 80he

[polar girder]

lol why if there’s only Wooting cases?

[random loom]

Ye they do but tape modding it so I can a bit more dampening

[polar girder]

Tape mod makes louder

[cold bloom]

cause you can buy more case colours, I think prebuilt is only 2 abs cases and the black zinc @polar girder

[calm pulsar]

if you have your switches and keycaps its a bit cheaper to order module+wooting case I think

[random loom]

Exactly what am getting

[cold bloom]

probably just to streamline production

[polar girder]

Ahh shit

Gotcha

[cold bloom]

and what @calm pulsar said

I guess some people already have jades or Raw HEs and keycaps etc

[random loom]

Anyways guys anything more I have to add/remove from da list

[shadow fern]

I wouldn't really call what's on the 80HE tape mod.

[cold bloom]

8. PET film "tape mod"

that's what it says on the 80HE site

[shadow fern]

they also named a 75% board 80HE so

[cold bloom]

not arguing just saying they call it such, it's more of a sheet of tape than a "painter's tape mod"

[calm pulsar]

they also named a frog mini frog but it's a keyboard case

[polar girder]

I mean this guy just comes in here to argue so whatever

[shadow fern]

where have you been all day?

[random loom]

Wait can I even do a force break mod on the 80he

[stone flax]

wait its not a frog?

[polar girder]

Yeah it’s a two part case

[stone flax]

theres a pseudoforcebreak alr on the case

[polar girder]

Pretty sure you can

[calm pulsar]

force break can be done on 2 piece cases which 80he is

[calm pulsar]

ahh cool

[tiny summit]

Hello everyone! I want to get a working 60he, and I had the idea of implementing kilmat with a different thin foam for maximum shocking sound. I thought of an acrylic case with ceramic keycaps and the new jade max switches. Does anyone have a better idea of how to structure this? 🙂

[stone flax]

its like little strips being sandwhiched between the two cases

[random loom]

Wait like it’s already done??

[stone flax]

new buzzword dropped

[calm pulsar]

by shocking sound you mean the most dampening or what

[stone flax]

SHOCKING keyboard

[calm pulsar]

💀

[shadow fern]

⚡

[stone flax]

i want my keyboard shocking

[robust siren]

i would like it if my keyboard didnt shock me

but thats just me

[stone flax]

just you

[tiny summit]

Sorry haha autocorrect.. thocking is what I meant

[tropic urchin]

shocking keyboards is a +50 fps from what I hear

[tiny summit]

Lmao

[cold bloom]

are you sure the keyboard is shocking you or are you just giving off static electricity?

[calm pulsar]

ahh lol all good
I think jade maxes are probably going to be on clacky side tbh
but on wooting you can use open bottom switches to be closer to "thock" but it's still not the same as proper "thock" on MX boards

[cold bloom]

I always get a shock when i touch my keyboard in the winters here cause it gets to barely any humidity when it's so cold, I can fix it by running a humidifier all winter but it's tedious

and causes my windows to freeze over

[robust siren]

someone already made a sound comparison between normal jades and jade maxes earlier today

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[random loom]

Wait hold up I swear that’s just the gasket mount

[calm pulsar]

keys sound differently in different spots
need a proper full sound test, or at least a test in the same spot

I have jade maxes on the way, will be comparing them with geon raw he

[tiny summit]

Interesting, I mean.. the max sounds a bit deeper sound than the pros.. 🤷‍♂️ i understand that thock is hard to get with a he board.. but It doesn't seem like there is one magical switch out there lol

[calm pulsar]

that is very true

about "no magical switch"

[cold bloom]

hard to really know with just 1 key, but they don't sound hugely different

[tropic urchin]

I'll be F5ing @calm pulsar

[tiny summit]

Yes haha

[robust siren]

he said factory lube on the maxes suck 💀

[tiny summit]

Oof

[cold bloom]

yeah I saw that

unfort

[tiny summit]

Who knows? The Geon raw He's might be the best switch..

[calm pulsar]

they are super nice for sure, but still closer to clack

[cold bloom]

I wonder if the magnet in he switches could be incorporated more like the inserts for nk cream plus switches

[tiny summit]

Hmm.. has anyone found a more thocky sounding he swith out there?🙂

[cold bloom]

they sound wild with the copper inserts

[shadow fern]

But actually stay in the stems?

[cold bloom]

yeah

[robust siren]

the most "thocky" he switch rn is probably lekkers

[calm pulsar]

maybe one day we can have the magnet being somewhere in the middle of the stem so that the bottom out isnt as thuddy

[shadow fern]

They should do something similar to the WS Jade's where there's some form of metal in the bottom of the stem

[cold bloom]

I had thoughts about that once too

[robust siren]

its open bottom unlike a lot of the ones on markets which are closed bottom and geon raws are half closed

[cold bloom]

yeah that's what I'm thinking

also I wonder how a non-ferrous leaf would work

if it's linear you could still adjust actuation

[calm pulsar]

true

[shadow fern]

or well bottom of the stem / bottom of the housing rather

hate these switches though

[tiny summit]

You mean the lekker 45 or 60 v2?

[cold bloom]

I think ttc had an HEswitch with a leaf didn't they?

or some manu

[robust siren]

its the same, only difference is bottom out force

[random loom]

Can someone send me the link for force break silicon pads

[shadow fern]

the only leafs i've seen are tactiles

[tiny summit]

Gotcha! Thank you!

[cold bloom]

hmm let me see if I can find it

[calm pulsar]

I believe geon said factory lube on new jades is almost too much, but I'm sure it will break in quite fast so I wouldn't worry

[robust siren]

he didnt say anything about jade pros so im assuming he didnt buy them

[shadow fern]

Max's are nice

[calm pulsar]

raws are probably going to be a bigger upgrade to you than jade pros

[robust siren]

i dont think its worth uprading to pros/maxes if you already have jades

[stone flax]

wait for jade pro max ultra

🙏

[robust siren]

apple naming be like:

[shadow fern]

don't forget 5g

[cold bloom]

I can't find the switches I was thinking of but I didn't realize the magnetos had this lol

[shadow fern]

I have those

worst HE on the market

[calm pulsar]

jadius maximus sounded way cleaner than jade pros to me on some videos, but they were single switch tests

[shadow fern]

They bait you making you kinda think you can build your own switch to some degree but that's just them mentioning what THEY could possibly do to future switches.

They are just a really weird switch

[calm pulsar]

yeah having a 2 piece stem sounds weird already, but when I listened to sound tests this switch sounded horrendous, overly bright

[random loom]

Help anyone have links for force brake pads OTHER THAN GEON cuz it’s sold out in eu

[calm pulsar]

I did it myself on my case, just some tape near screw holes

no need to pay extra for some force break lol

[shadow fern]

Where the light guide or channel is rather there's a huge hole like 2mm x 4mm that's just open you can see the spring / internals and then the two useless holes on the bottom housing. The switches are just soulless and they boast about having a longer spring but they legit are the worst HE switches I have tried. It's like a bunch of bad stuff jumbled into one overpriced switch

[robust siren]

what even is the force break mod? is it just a layer of tape between the top and bottom casing?

[random loom]

Can I see just curious

[random loom]

3d printed?

[calm pulsar]

https://youtu.be/7kmy01pFuyI

title is clickbait but he explains it well I think

[shadow fern]

@random loom No, those are TTC's HE switches

[shadow fern]

I just know how to water whip a camera

[robust siren]

oh i see

[random loom]

Ok ty

[polar girder]

No black. They’re cooked

Lolz

[polar girder]

Thanks

Yeah i have to do this lol

[calm pulsar]

yeah no reason not to when you open your frog next time

[stone flax]

just tape it urself

[stone flax]

deals with a pinging problem from unwanted contact in two-body cases

[tiny summit]

Theoretically, shouldn't a acylic case with pc plate, kilmat, thin layer of foam, ceramic keycaps and lekker 60 v2 be really thocky? 🤔

[shadow fern]

Jet fuel can't melt steel beams, theoretically

[polar girder]

Really thocky for HE**

[stone flax]

https://tenor.com/view/oppenheimer-oppenheimer-movie-barbie-oppenheimer-meme-cillian-murphy-theory-gif-8102327772591152629

[polar girder]

Maybe lol

[shadow fern]

that was a good HD film

[stone flax]

stop building for sound start building for feel

[calm pulsar]

you will have to see for yourself if it's "thocky" or whatever

[stone flax]

sound is largely a fruitless endeavor when going into it blind

[robust siren]

theres only one way to find out

[shadow fern]

but I want it to sound like my mx board, what should I do

[stone flax]

Get mx switches

[robust siren]

play mx switch sounds when using the HE

💀

[shadow fern]

Or use dis

[calm pulsar]

raws probably the closest to MX while being like 50% on the way there lol

[robust siren]

gmmk3p pcb?

[stone flax]

closed rbo switches

pls

[shadow fern]

yeah Pro HE

can't stand glorious but had to buy it purely for HE and MX at the same time purposes

[stone flax]

i recommend the one u can get

but loctite > tribosys

or bdz

[shadow fern]

imagine someone new messing with bdz

[calm pulsar]

I use trenbolone on my stabs

[shadow fern]

threw away my first set of bdz stabs

[stone flax]

i use that one but in a better size

[barren wasp]

Any Gateron pro max reviews yet? Also does gateron factory lube well?

[stone flax]

thats a scam

[calm pulsar]

why? I had no issues

[calm pulsar]

pro max?

[shadow fern]

Way too much bdz didn't feel like cleaning

[barren wasp]

Max only I meant

[robust siren]

ifone?

[stone flax]

https://a.co/d/26NtDX6 will last you forever

[calm pulsar]

I think no full sound tests are available yet

[shadow fern]

I have them I'm too lazy to touch keebs atm

[barren wasp]

Does gateron factory lube well?

[robust siren]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[stone flax]

Up to you to decide

But its passable

[barren wasp]

They sound literally the same….???

[stone flax]

??

[robust siren]

???

[calm pulsar]

sound

[stone flax]

Oh yeah

[stone flax]

I thought it was abt normal jades

[knotty iron]

imagine a holy60 but made for the 80HE lol

[stray tiger]

Sounds horrible

[calm pulsar]

💀

[shadow fern]

Max’s have a thicc single rail

[robust siren]

thats a pretty close closeup

👍

[knotty iron]

thats fine, how do you compare the wobble to a jade

[robust siren]

https://tenor.com/view/lock-lube-shookt-gif-13622466

[knotty iron]

dang 💀

[stray tiger]

Oh wow

[shadow fern]

They also have the prevision for the clicky

[knotty iron]

excited to get the jade maxes i ordered

[calm pulsar]

that's with all gateron HE switches

[shadow fern]

all

[calm pulsar]

my lekker v1s, gateron ks-20 white and jades have the notches on the stem

which is not needed at all lol

[shadow fern]

@knotty iron pretty similar, there's a bit more side to side but that's acceptable for the materials. It's tough to achieve a buttery smooth fully clear switch

[stray tiger]

Why change a dieline or mold if you don't need to

[knotty iron]

nice, how is the rebound

compared to the OG

[calm pulsar]

true, just mentioned that it doesnt seem to be new on new jades

maybe they will be making a clicky HE switch

[shadow fern]

I'm just wondering why they offset the tabs for HE's

I guess it's because of that prevision that is never used

enjoy having your puller slip

[stray tiger]

It's existed before their HE switches

[shadow fern]

I've only seen it on clickies

[stray tiger]

Glad you got them though, let us know how they sound

[untold wigeon]

Woo hooo! PHILLIES NL EAST CHAMPIONS!!!

[cold bloom]

cries in Red Sox

[inland trellis]

is deskhero legit

?

[stone flax]

ya

[tiny summit]

Hey everyone! Im considering getting the cerakey keycaps, does anyone know which lekker switch would be best for ceramic? L45 or L60 v2? 🙂

[stone flax]

higher, higher than 60 possibly for spacebars

[calm pulsar]

l60, cause cerakeys are heavy and they need heavier springs
the difference between l45 is l60 is only the spring weight

[shadow fern]

Got them off kickstarter or whatever when they first came out and sold them three days later

[tiny summit]

Got it, Roger that! 🫡

[shadow fern]

Hopefully they are better now but I won't know

[tiny summit]

Will do! Thank you! 🙂

[robust siren]

are wrapping stab bars better then sticking some bandaid in the stab stems?

[calm pulsar]

what stabs?

[robust siren]

stock 60he stabs

[calm pulsar]

I think you don't really need any of that with good lubing, unless there are real issues with ticking and stuff

[robust siren]

left space is really rattly

[calm pulsar]

grease for wires should prevent it from making much contact with plastic ideally

well with stock plate mounts you could try the holee mod, but I think wrapping the wires is too much lol

[robust siren]

probably have to clean them out pretty throughly and make sure no stock lube is left over

[calm pulsar]

try to make sure the spacebar wire is straight too

cause it can also be the reason for rattling

[robust siren]

yeah

now that im checking

the right shift also has a little

but i never use that key...

[cold bloom]

split right shift is so nice

with split backspace

I hope we see more layouts in the future with wooting 60 pcbs

[calm pulsar]

true lol with split right shift and backspace you only need 3 stabilizer sets on the pcb

[glacial wind]

Balance wires + good coat of xht bdz or similar and you’re usually good on rattle

[cold bloom]

yup exactly, so much easier

and it's nice to have a few extra keys on the right on 60%, I barely ever use right shift

[robust siren]

i think my left shift, backspace and enter are just fine

[calm pulsar]

can't wait to receive my venom60he to play around
hoping for such features on future wooting 60% pcb though

[cold bloom]

I gotta order one sometime

it's not out yet right?

[calm pulsar]

only on local korean store which I ordered from

[cold bloom]

ohhhh ok

[robust siren]

i lied, left shift needs some work

[cold bloom]

do you have the link?

[calm pulsar]

https://smartstore.naver.com/geonlab/

I ordered through mail forwarding keep in mind

[glacial wind]

yeah you have to order via the Korean shipping sites because if you’re not local you can’t even check out

[robust siren]

this is what im looking at right now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxDLeyXZWeI

as i currently dont have any grease rn

just 205g0

[glacial wind]

It’s honestly worth buying some

One syringe lasts you a loooong time

Same with if you prefer xht bdz or whatever else. I think I’ve had the same tub of xht bdz for years now

probably helps that a lot of newer stabs have moved to not needing thick grease though

[stone flax]

neither man

[spark flicker]

Has anyone used the ever glide rice puddings?

[shadow fern]

you mean the haimu tekken v911's?

@stone flax says they are the best switch on the market

[calm pulsar]

nah those would be Got my lekkers sticky v3 pros

[stray tiger]

Which features specifically? My venom board will be here tomorrow.

[tropic urchin]

You guys are missing out on the Glutinous Rice V2s

[glacial wind]

Untrue. I eat glutinous rice daily

[tropic urchin]

That’s sinful, Geon doesn’t approve

[stray tiger]

You mean gelatinous rice 😁

[glacial wind]

love me some glutinous rice

[calm pulsar]

what I personally like:

8khz, no rgb (but there's south led for capslock)
tsangan layout option, with support for full and split backspace
cutouts for proper oring mounting
2 usb-c ports with the second one allowing you to mount it in centered usb port cases if I understand correctly

if you lubed it then no need

[stray tiger]

No

[calm pulsar]

also it looks like the original usb port is a bit more flexible

I know it's done this way so you can just break it off, if you're using it with the second port

but maybe it can help to add more flex in the left area, if you're using it in a frog mini

[stray tiger]

I don't think the second USB port is for center mounting. I'll have to go back and look but I think it's not centered and I believe it's for daughter board support.

[jade storm]

This is so hot

[stray tiger]

I can confirm tomorrow when it's delivered

[calm pulsar]

yeah I just meant it exists so you can mount it in a case that uses a daugherboard

[jade storm]

No RGB is amazing

unnecessary addition to the price

[calm pulsar]

yeah I mean personally I find it better since I use keycaps like gmk and no rgb and it probably saves some real estate on the pcb to allow for 8khz polling rate

[jade storm]

Facts

[calm pulsar]

but the majority of wooting users still enjoys pcb most likely

[stray tiger]

What if I told you the cost for RGB is minimal and you can do 8k polling and plenty of space on the PCB for RGB?

[calm pulsar]

it is great then
I just remember that in some 80he videos, Calder said on 80he there's enough space to allow for 8khz polling and on 60he there wasn't

or he said it is harder to do on 60he, don't remember exactly

[jade storm]

Hmm.

[stray tiger]

Rakka already doing it and that's been out a year almost.

[calm pulsar]

I see, never really looked into rakka
I'm excited to try out venom60he, but still I think wooting's firmware and software is likely built better, so I'm excited to hear news about 60he pro as well

[glacial wind]

it's more that the mcu is bigger than the existing slot so they have to redesign

not so much that it's that hard to fit, just that their existing design isn't designed for that size mcu in that spot

[calm pulsar]

interesting, makes sense
the mcu is quite big on venom60he
pic from geonlab store reviews

[fluid ravine]

gummy oring cut outs

[tawdry tree]

What do you mean exactly?

[fluid ravine]

[calm pulsar]

and the tasteful south-side led for shinethrough capslock

[tawdry tree]

It’s hard to see what is lube and what is rail, I don’t think it’s different from 20U’s Dual Rails though. And if that’s a single rail, are non-dual rail switches railless? 😂

[fluid ravine]

[calm pulsar]

yeah it looks like it is dual rails but it's a bit blurry due to lube between the rails on the stem

full lube-made switch

[tawdry tree]

20Us and 37Bs have a T shaped rail on the bottom housing. The Maxes don’t look T shaped but maybe that’s just cause of the lube

lavish amount of lube..

[cedar gate]

No rgb is a feature 🤣

[calm pulsar]

I think it's very likely that it's the amount of lube, cause geon said it is almost overlubed

I have maxes on the way so we'll see

[calm pulsar]

well which is why I said "personally"
plus at the time I thought that no rgb allows for 8khz, but Thockfather and sno explained that it IS possible with rgb, just requires a new design

geon probably decided not to put on rgb cause it's more of an enthusiast level pcb

or just reduced cost

[glacial wind]

generally korean market doesn't care about rgb, at least not when buying stuff from geon

[tawdry tree]

the usb power limit is an issue though but that only becomes an issue over 100% layouts

[calm pulsar]

^^yeah I thought so too

[glacial wind]

gotta be honest I turned on rgb on my 60he once to take photos then turned it off and never used it again lol

[cedar gate]

That is true but yk 8khz is microseconds faster right?

[cedar gate]

No rgb at a reduced cost is good but instead of listing no rgb as a feature I would have probably put lower price lol if I had to pick between a keyboard with or without rgb I would pick with even if I didn't like it just because it adds to the resell value and it is still a feature

[calm pulsar]

also true, just cool having it on HE, which is aimed at maximum performance

well if I had to mention the one most exciting feature on venom60he for me it would be just tsangan layout lol

[cedar gate]

That Is a good point

On HE it improves latency

[tawdry tree]

🗣️🗣️🗣️

[cedar gate]

I'm too old to know what that means?

Babbling or preaching?

[tiny summit]

Could anyone explain why a plastic /acrylic case is more thocky vs. a metal aluminum case? Is this true? I don't understand the science behind this..

[cedar gate]

The material kind of accentuates sound more

[tawdry tree]

Yes it improves latency, by so much everyone will notice it right away.

just joking

[calm pulsar]

yeah the price is indeed very good

the total of the pcb, the compatible plate, sw knight v2s, some frog mini tadpoles and a pack of foam and it was still cheaper than 60he+ module

and all of that including mail forwarding to my country from korea lol

[tawdry tree]

preaching brother

[cedar gate]

K

[fluid ravine]

bro spitting fax

🗣️

[cedar gate]

Keeping up with all this stuff is much harder than I thought it would be🤣

[tawdry tree]

😂😂

[calm pulsar]

browsing reviews on geon's korean store
such a nice build, pretty cool that it's HE hhkb lol

[tiny summit]

Gotcha, thank you for clearing this up, everyone was saying aluminum actually makes keyboards sound profile more thocky but I always thought It would make more of a clacky sound profile

[untold wigeon]

I know it’s just a bug but I totally feel like I could play dumb and make it on Nukes top 5

[stone flax]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[stone flax]

my favorite set

after greg

and 2dgf

[polar girder]

Yeah Venom is hype. NGL

[stone flax]

late to news

[calm pulsar]

broo what is this lol

[stone flax]

goat keycap set

[stone flax]

yapping

[stone flax]

only the best set of caps

[cedar gate]

It makes it more pinky because of metal on metal contact but this can be fixed with burger mount

[tiny summit]

perfect! Thank you so much! I'll go with the tofu redux acrylic! 🙂

[silk hound]

yup

[stone flax]

hi brotha

erm........

[silk hound]

hi brotha

erm yup

[stone flax]

[mighty egret]

did u go pcr or zinc

[silk hound]

I went with zinc - going to see how it turns out when it gets here lol

[mighty egret]

module or nah

[tiny summit]

Does anyone know if the tofu redux brass weight bar addon has any practical use? For the acrylic

[calm pulsar]

increased weight allows for less vibrations in the case

[paper bloom]

Degen keycals

[paper bloom]

Uhh it shld be a lil bit thocky for sound thats about it

Wont make acrylic hollow

[jade storm]

Rivions the legend.

[silk hound]

module yeah

[silk hound]

that you brother haha

[tiny summit]

is hollow good for thock? XD

[stone flax]

mass

[jade storm]

Not yet, but thank you.

[stone flax]

means more yum

[paper bloom]

Ye but it depends

On what type of sound profile

U dont gotta run a brass weight inside

[stone flax]

depends heavily ON EVERYTHING

[paper bloom]

To make it sound good

[tiny summit]

I planned on putting kilmat 50m inside the case, would it affect it badly if I put it over the brass weight? O.o

[stone flax]

that is such an open ended question it can literally go both ways

[paper bloom]

Na shldnt be an issue but 50meters

Is fuckin thick

[tiny summit]

lol

[paper bloom]

Unless u mean 50cm

[tiny summit]

yes lol

[paper bloom]

U gotta push that shit in

[tiny summit]

my bad

[paper bloom]

50cm is a bit too thick

Gotta cut it

[calm pulsar]

tbh kilmat probably makes the sound even less deep, compared to like polyfill and stuff

at least in my experience

[stone flax]

deadass

[calm pulsar]

it just deadens sound traveling through the case

[paper bloom]

Gtg feel free to ask the others

[calm pulsar]

but doesnt work like polyfill and foams

[stone flax]

just because something is dense doesnt mean its gonna make it deeper or more muted

because guys big shocker here

what happens if the sound bounces back

because theres just a big wall behind the pcb

[tiny summit]

My plan was a tofu redux acrylic with brass plate, 1 layer of thinnest kilmat for dampening, base wooting thin case foam over kilmat followed by tape modded pc plate, IXPE Foam on top of PC plate. Lekker 60 V2 with cerakey v2 keycaps 🙂

[stone flax]

almost as if instead of dispersing it actually serves to make the boards sound more compressed and accentuated

😲

[tiny summit]

Going for thocky sound profile in theory lol

[stone flax]

foam =/= thocky 100% of the time

stop going for sound

go for feel

thocky is a buzzword shoveled by people trying to sell you on something

[calm pulsar]

combining all known mods in existence will just make sound dead

I'd say remove tape mod, kilmat and leave foam or even replace foam with polyfil

[jade ledge]

Idk if this defeats the purpose of the tape mod but I left the PET film and put 3 layers of tape on top and it fits in my 80he

[deft wing]

Does anyone know where I can get a discounted tofu60redux?

[tiny summit]

interesting.. but isn't the polyfill hazardous? :/

[calm pulsar]

I believe @quiet bay uses it and her build it probably the only good thocky build I know lol

with cerakeys and lekker switches

[tiny summit]

Oh! Do you have link to sound test?

[stone flax]

wow... its really good!

[calm pulsar]

seems like the contest live vod was deleted? but yeah the vid above works

[tiny summit]

Does she by any chance share her mods? 🙂

[tiny summit]

TY!!

[cedar gate]

You can get the old model for cheap?

[robust siren]

@glacial shard

[glacial shard]

That sounds heavinly

[robust siren]

its not mine, its pochizo, youd have to ask her what shes done to it

[glacial shard]

alright time to prep for my keyboard upgrades when the keyboard comes

[stone flax]

does that keyboard sound like heaven

?

[glacial shard]

YEAH JEALOUS?

[stone flax]

how long have you been subscribed to hipyo

[calm pulsar]

lolol

[tiny summit]

Thank you everyone! 🙂

[glacial shard]

Who?

[tropic urchin]

Exactly

[glacial shard]

[glacial wind]

the problem is the only real 'thock' in HE right now is if you go all the way to ceramic keycaps and that's just the keycap changing the sound and not so much the switch

so unless you're going ceramic keycaps as well then the thock chase is kind of dead if you're looking for mx level thock

[glacial shard]

I'm going down a rabbit hole

I finally decided to upgrade my keyboard

[robust siren]

i dont like how ceramic keycaps look but thats my opinion

[glacial wind]

i just don't like their qc issues and it being a bit slippery as well

[stone flax]

thats the exact problem with cerakeys

[glacial shard]

And now it's finally settling in how much I spent last time to mod my keyboard and now I'm probably going to spend atleast 100 extra dollars D:

[stone flax]

by no means should they in thier current state even be sold

[glacial wind]

if you're going cerakeys i don't think that even buys you a set

[robust siren]

cerakeys are at least 120

iirc

[glacial shard]

[glacial shard]

NOPE

We getting knock offs

[glacial wind]

your keyboard going to be scuffed

cerakeys already has so many issues

[robust siren]

bro is not getting thock with this

[glacial wind]

knockoff cerakeys i can't even imagine

[glacial shard]

JWICK Vertex V1 Switch Trust the proccess

[stone flax]

?

are u trolling

or smthng

[glacial wind]

that's not a he switch...

[robust siren]

watch it be plastic with some weird paint coating to make it feel and look ceramic

[calm pulsar]

Hipyo youtube short with knockoff cerakeys:

Are ThEse ThE BesT CeRaMic kEYcaps??? clicks one key and video ends

[stone flax]

he is new here

say hi!

[glacial shard]

OH it isn't

[stone flax]

wait you werent trolling?

[glacial shard]

LOL

[stone flax]

geon has fallen

and we have killed him

[glacial shard]

I was not my first HE keyboard 😦

[robust siren]

[glacial wind]

If you look at soundtests for HE switches you'll quickly find out why even people who like thock end up going for clack a lot of the time

because that marbly thock doesn't exist yet

[robust siren]

me

[stone flax]

because thock is achieved through hollowness and hollow he switches are objectively just worse quality since full bodied switches dont really exist for accomodating that

[robust siren]

ive learned to love clack as i got the geons

[stone flax]

so instead of creamy gunkly splunky thocky we get clacky rainy dinky

[glacial shard]

So you guys spitting knowledge I needed

[robust siren]

dinky is a horrible way to describe something lol

[calm pulsar]

I lost the contest cause thock is better

[glacial shard]

[stone flax]

i want my keyboard dinky sounding

[stone flax]

but to be honest tho

ur really at a stand still

[calm pulsar]

dreamy creamy is all the rage

[stone flax]

"deeper"/hollow he switches or clackier pole bottom out closed bottom with better tolerances

[robust siren]

never say these word combinations ever again

[glacial shard]

Yeah you might be right

[stone flax]

so u literally have to sacrifice ur insipid ideas of thock to achieve a better keyboard

life could be a dream if someone just manufactured 4.0 or near rbo closed bottoms with good tolerances

but alas

[glacial shard]

[robust siren]

we must hope that geon will bless us with another one of his other-worldly creations

stand strong for the wait shall not be long! (d1 bullshitting)

[calm pulsar]

I Tried Creamiest Dreamiest Switches (And You Should Too)

[honest sapphire]

is the 80he pcb mounted stabs

[robust siren]

i was told that this keyboard was… thocky?!?!? [sponsor] presses 2 keys and then creams himself

comes with screw ins yeah

[cold bloom]

goin crazy

[calm pulsar]

pog, my best is 123

https://tenor.com/view/speed-wheelchair-me-running-late-gif-14178485

[cold bloom]

that's gonna be me fr

I just took my skateboard out again last night

[halcyon rune]

Guys

Can i use salvation plate

With wooting

[cold bloom]

I'm on fire

[cold bloom]

no

sadly

no standoffs, but also the wrong bottom row layout

[halcyon rune]

Alright

[cold bloom]

it's a tsangan layout it's called, so it has a 1.5-1-1.5u on each side and a 7u spacebar

but w case

[halcyon rune]

Fuck Holy60

[cold bloom]

I love my salvation, I just want to get a lighter case for my wooting personally cause I move it around a lot gaming

waiting on the new frog mini leggera

[calm pulsar]

you probably can actually

[cold bloom]

[stone flax]

I LOVE

LOV$E

[cold bloom]

it's the best

I'm sad I got the pcb for the neo65 that has a 6.25u spacebar lol

I got the wired hotswap

[halcyon rune]

I cut?

This 1

[cold bloom]

yes they should just snap off

then if the ends that break are rough try to sand them down a touch

[calm pulsar]

with 65% probably still not as beautiful as on a 60%

cause on 60 it's symmetrical

[halcyon rune]

To hard

[cold bloom]

exactly, and I'll just get a diff pcb later

[stone flax]

WAIT WHAT

this is awful layout support

😭

[cold bloom]

yup

I'll order the other pcb later

[stone flax]

man i never even knew they did this for the 65

[cold bloom]

I don't mind it other than the bottom row

[stone flax]

i think the 70 and 80 are all encompassing for all three pcb's

[cold bloom]

I just didn't want to get the case with a battery if I ordered the tri mode one

[stone flax]

:((

[cold bloom]

but that has a better layout

so I'll see if I can order it separately

the wired non tri mode one comes with silicone fill in the battery slots so I wanted that tbh

over the batteries

[stone flax]

yeah

[halcyon rune]

No other ways?

[stone flax]

if u buy the hotswap trimod vers then no batteries will be even sent i think

[halcyon rune]

@cold bloom

Hard af

[cold bloom]

for what

[stone flax]

for what

[cold bloom]

hmm just the pcb?

[cold bloom]

you can use clippers if you have them

or small pliers to break it

[stone flax]

yeah they dont ship out batteries unless it was the og kit

[cold bloom]

hold the longer/main part and break the edge off with pliers @halcyon rune

[cold bloom]

yeah ok good

I'll do that eventually, maybe I can add it to my order since it hasn't shipped yet

[halcyon rune]

Dont have😭😭

[cold bloom]

hmm, try to hold it on a ledge of a counter?

[cold bloom]

like push it so just the part that needs to break off is over the edge, and snap it?

[cold bloom]

perfect

[stone flax]

you deffo should!!!!!

the shipping is gonna hurt

[cold bloom]

Yeah good call

I'll email them tomorrow

[halcyon rune]

Bro

My had

Hand

Bleeding

[stone flax]

wait wouldnt it be better to just buy the trimode pcb for the og kit and have the wired pcb hotswap pcb for the extra?

[cold bloom]

sheesh

[stone flax]

costs would be the same but atleast u get a battery no?

[cold bloom]

hmm I guess, I doubt I'll ever use the battery tho

[stone flax]

i remember they just give foams to fill the cavity for the battery

for non trimode pcb's

im not sure if that would be the same case if the wired hotswap is the extra...

actually

keep doing what ur doing

[cold bloom]

yeah that's what I was thinking

I just emailed them to see if i can add the trimode pcb

[stone flax]

because if u dont plan to use the battery anyways ur 100% gonna get the foam fillers if u keep the wired pcb

[glacial shard]

I think

[cold bloom]

yeah exactly

[glacial shard]

I need a break from looking at switches

[cold bloom]

[stone flax]

?

just get RAWS

[stone flax]

ur doing a y3 build right?

pom plate

?

[cold bloom]

yes

[calm pulsar]

the only HE switch you need to be looking at is Geon RAW HE

[cold bloom]

that's the plan

[stone flax]

yippeee

[cold bloom]

I love the y3's on spacebars so far so much

I have it on my mx black and nixie builds

[stone flax]

i had y3's and put them on my neo65 for like a day

it was tighttt

[cold bloom]

they're so nice

the stem sounds really good in a nixie too

[stone flax]

i took my y3's out of comission to do a o-ring mounted cherry build in my tkl

😭

[cold bloom]

valid

[stone flax]

wait...

[heady tapir]

sorry to intrude, but does anyone know of any purple or blue quality HE switches?

[stone flax]

y3 stems work with cherry housings?

@cold bloom

[cold bloom]

I think I've frankenswitched every switch I've owned lmao

to test it on the spacebar

and yes it does

looks sick too

[stone flax]

thats awesome

[glacial shard]

Okay okay I'll concede and go with the Geon's

[stone flax]

i think ill make some cherry mx y3's

[glacial shard]

time to look at the price

[stone flax]

nixie housings?

[calm pulsar]

just make sure not to get raptor he accidentally,
you need Raw HE

[cold bloom]

yup!

[stone flax]

beautiful

[stone flax]

does the y3 stem lose scratch

?

[cold bloom]

a bit, it has a touch of lube on it

it's still there but it's a bit deeper overall

[stone flax]

hmmm

[glacial shard]

Cheapest place to get em?

There site?

[stone flax]

where are you

[glacial shard]

US

[stone flax]

diviniky

[glacial shard]

Out of stock

40g

50g

60g

all out

Well the 40g one has 1 left

LOL

[honest sapphire]

i have it in my cart

[calm pulsar]

lol

[honest sapphire]

leave it alone

[glacial shard]

HAHAH

[calm pulsar]

some ppl received it in 2 days from geon's website

[glacial shard]

What type of bottom force should I get tho

[calm pulsar]

60g is like stock switches on wooting, others if you prefer lighter

[stone flax]

you should get the one you want

[glacial shard]

I dunno what I want D:

[stone flax]

what do u hav

[calm pulsar]

you could get 60 and spring packs

[glacial shard]

right now I have Speed Silvers on my current keyboard as I just bought the Wooting as of 2 hours ago

[cold bloom]

@stone flax

that's the nixie/y3 spacebar on the bauer lite

still a bit of scratch but not as much fs

[stone flax]

stock nixies btw?

[cold bloom]

these have kelowna films in them, the alphas are mx blacks tho

they're the unikeys ones the nixies

[solemn cloud]

Cherry speed silvers are like 45g so I think if you’re more used to that then get the 40g or 50g ones

[ionic breach]

bruddah

ur gunna kill him

[solemn cloud]

Oh shit lmao

That’s the bottom out tho

[ionic breach]

45 is actuation

all hall effect measures bottom out

[solemn cloud]

Ohhhh

[ionic breach]

since yk actuation is adjustable anyways

[solemn cloud]

Mb mb

Forgot about that

[jade storm]

how many fucking boards do you have

[glacial wind]

was your plate all good btw @ionic breach ?

[ionic breach]

yes

it was a brown hair

[glacial wind]

oh lol

that's valuable. Might be Igor's hair

he doesn't give out that for cheap

[cold bloom]

3 lol

I have 2 pcbs and plates for my salvation tho

so I swap that one around a lot

then the bauer lite, and wooting60

bauer lite is remapped to work better with my mac laptop

[dense token]

anyone know the materials for the idobao crystal

i want to diy a case like that for the 80he

[glacial shard]

Soooooooo what I get is the Cherry MX Speed worse?

Probs tho huh

D:

[solemn cloud]

What do you mean worse? lmao

[glacial shard]

Personally I don't mind lighter keys

[glacial shard]

I dunno that's what I got from the responses

Something about me dying

[ionic breach]

[solemn cloud]

Nope nope it’s the matter of preference

[glacial shard]

[ionic breach]

no the speed silvers are heavier then wooting's default

[solemn cloud]

Just I made a mistake of not taking bottom out force in consideration

[glacial shard]

Wait really?

HEAVIER?

[ionic breach]

[solemn cloud]

Yep bottom out is 71g

[glacial shard]

Alright so 40 g might be the move

or 50

[solemn cloud]

Ummmmmm

[glacial shard]

undecided

[solemn cloud]

If you want something close to what you’ve always been using, just go for heavier ones

So 60+

As @ionic breach mentioned, all HE switches are measured by their bottom out force

[glacial shard]

See I would but I wanna try diferent switches

Gotta experience new things yk?

[solemn cloud]

lmao okay

[ionic breach]

ok most

gateron sucks at giving reliable information

[glacial shard]

💀 Watch me regret my words and as soon as I press the key

[solemn cloud]

You might need to adjust quite a bit tho

[glacial shard]

I used to use a program to give less delay I forgot what it was called

But realised it was placebo

[glacial shard]

What types do you use>

[solemn cloud]

I just ordered 80HE but from a few boards I have, I’ve always tended to lean towards heavier switches. The current ones I use is 62g but my other board has 45g switches. I had to swap out the springs to make them heavier cuz fat fingers lmao

Also just got the Raws in 50g cuz the 60g ones ran out in my country

[glacial shard]

Now I have to think Do I get the 40 or 50 ones

[glacial shard]

Thank You! 😄

[dire delta]

60G :)

[glacial shard]

Everyone's suggesting 60G is there really a difference

[solemn cloud]

You can always adjust the actuation points in HE switches anyway so I don’t think you’ll get too much of a fat finger situation as long as you set them a bit deeper. Just that they’ll feel a lot lighter

[dire delta]

I like that the 60g start at 45g which is a lil bit too light for my personal taste but it's okay

[lone plume]

Does the raw he need film?

[ruby hill]

Get them all
40 for alpha
50 for mod
60 for space

[glacial shard]

50g seems like a smooth medium

[lone plume]

My raw he coming tmr! So excited

[solemn cloud]

Nopeeee just lube the springs a bit and you’ll be fine

[glacial shard]

You're right

[hollow iron]

isnt geon.works is world wide ?

[dire delta]

They are all if you are willing to pay taxes and shipping

[lone plume]

So raw he don't need to lube the rail?

[ionic breach]

pre lubbed

[solemn cloud]

Already pretty well lubed from factory

[dire delta]

I've used the pre applied lube of the RAWs and spread them across the stem, top housing and rails in the bottom housing

ITS NOT WORTH IT

[solemn cloud]

I tried lubing the rails and it made no difference

Just bag lube the springs if you find any issues. Mine got a bit of ping but very slightly

[glacial shard]

60 Count or 70 count?

For the amount of switches I should get

[dire delta]

70

[solemn cloud]

60he or 80he?

[glacial shard]

60HE

Filmed or not Filmed

D:

[solemn cloud]

70 count should be fine

[glacial wind]

Don’t film

[solemn cloud]

I don’t think films are necessary since the housings are pretty solid already

[glacial shard]

True ture

[glacial wind]

Just buy good switches like raw he that are already good there

[glacial shard]

USD
$80.15 Is crazy

LOL

[glacial wind]

For what?

[glacial shard]

From zkeebs that's how much I'd cost

[glacial wind]

Buy from aliexpress then

[solemn cloud]

Huhhh? 80USD for 70 switches!?

[glacial shard]

YEAH

[glacial wind]

Something is wrong there

[glacial shard]

I was also shocked LOL

[random loom]

Bro AliExpress was like 30 usd for 90 switches

[glacial wind]

He’s either selecting the wrong thing or getting hit with some crazy shipping or zkeebs is up charging

Yeah just buy it from aliexpress lol

Kdbfans has aliexpress store

[solemn cloud]

I got 90 switches for like 50-60, tax and shipping included

[random loom]

Wait actually I seen something more expensive

In switchoddities 90 Akko cream yellow magnetics for 350 usd

[glacial shard]

Exactly

ShipTection Shipping Protection - $1.75
GEON Raw Magnetic HE Linear Switches - 50g / Lubed Only
GEON Raw Magnetic HE Linear Switches
Spring Weight : 50g
Style : Lubed Only $11.
$80.15
Taxes and shipping calculated at checkout*
Subtotal:
$81.90

[solemn cloud]

Okay that’s insane. You can get the whole board of MOD007B with those same switches for like $120

[random loom]

IKR

[glacial shard]

Does Geon ship worldwide?

[solemn cloud]

I think so but you might need to pay import taxes

[glacial wind]

yeah but his shipping is expensive. I'd order from kdbfans aliexpress store if you want cheapest

geon is good and fast but pricy shipping

[random loom]

Wait sorry wrong price 450 usd for 90 switches

[glacial shard]

Valid Valid so AliExpress is the move

YIPPI

[pulsar patio]

Does typeplus x yikb stabilizers fit into wooting module plate? Or should i get something else

[glacial wind]

Mixed results. Some haven’t been able to get it to fit

Better to go with knight v2 since that’s known to fit

[dire delta]

Where Knight v2 black? :D

[glacial wind]

you weirdos and your obsession with internal stab housing color

[ionic breach]

[glacial wind]

why can't you just be normal and form cults around geon switches like the rest of us

[lone plume]

Then I going to bag lube the spring only

[glacial wind]

that's honestly plenty good for most folks

[opal hedge]

with the RAWs, how good is the factory lubing and is additional lube needed

[ionic breach]

perfecto

[glacial wind]

good-ish. No factory lube is as perfect as hand lube, but 9/10 people are probably more than happy with factory lube job

[opal hedge]

okay valid, if i did go for hand lube should i just lube the rails

[glacial wind]

rails are already lubed, but you can spread the lube out a little bit and if you want do a very very light internal lube on the housing

[dire delta]

I re-lubed my RAWs it's not worth it

Maybe relube the springs

[solemn cloud]

Maybe just top and bottom housing. Just spread the existing lube on the rails if you want. Personally I just lubed the springs

[opal hedge]

hm alright

what lube for the springs?

[solemn cloud]

Normally I use GPL105 for bag lube. But if you wanna donut dip em then I normally just use the same 205g0 as the stems and housings

[glacial wind]

just normal 205g0 is you're lubing with brush or one of the oils like gpl 105 if using oil to bag lube

[glacial shard]

@solemn cloud So I paid 40 dollars for the switches

Alot better

[solemn cloud]

Yayyy that’s a lot more reasonable

[glacial shard]

[ionic breach]

[glacial shard]

[glacial shard]

Sighs I haven't even tried the other ones

It'll come the same day the keyboard comes

LOL

2 n a half weeks wait watch

At that point I'mma mod the keyboard

silcone rings on pcb mounts ducktape mod maybe add another layer of slim foam maybe another set of keycaps we'll see probably not LOL spent too much

[celest parrot]

How did you get them this cheap?

[balmy zephyr]

[sage chasm]

looking for my first premium keyboard and i want to get the 80he, any switch recommendations that are similar to akko v3?

[glacial wind]

Nah they’re very new. No one I know has tried them yet

[glacial wind]

Geon raw he is the best he switch overall right now. It might not be same as your Akko v3 though (but it is the best we got for now)

[honest sapphire]

any he springs on aliexpress

[dire delta]

I ordered them just to try them out, but I won't use the included wires

[mighty egret]

he springs?

[honest sapphire]

yea sprins that are compatible with hall effect switches

[solemn cloud]

I think so but I’ve searched and I’m not sure how reliable are the stores selling those. Just search for magnetic switch springs

[paper bloom]

There are some but make sure its for the switches but what type do you want

[honest sapphire]

i wanted to try 100g springs

[tawdry tree]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzwblJ3

That store sells Dual Stage and 22mm springs as well.

For magnetic switches.

[split garnet]

guys does anyone reccoment any EU shop where i can get some krytox or tribosys that is not stupidly expensive?

[ionic breach]

aliexpress

[split garnet]

i tried

nothing that ships

[ionic breach]

or refer to here

[split garnet]

oh cool

[ionic breach]

wait

i do have a reccomendation

wooting

https://wooting.io/product/wooting-switch-lubricant-lube-set?Option=Wooting+Lubrication+set

ngl should have added this with ur wooting order

[split garnet]

when i ordered they didnt have this

im first europe batch

im like 50% sure they didnt

25 euros is kinda yikes tho

[hardy spear]

if I buy the gateron jades for my 60HE+ module, do I need to get stabilisers or not? Does it matter whether I get the jades from Wooting or the Jade plus from gateron directly?

[ionic breach]

yes

you get long pole stabs from wooting

but with decent quality keycaps it doesnt matter

[hardy spear]

long pole stabs come in the module or separate?

[ionic breach]

with the jades pack

lekkers do not need long pole stabs

thats why

[hardy spear]

oh I see, so if I buy jades from Wooting I get stabilisers? Because I might try to get the Jade plus instead.

[wooden solar]

Thoughts on reversed style?

[ionic breach]

as mentioned

if you have decent quality keycaps

long pole or not doesnt matter
