[dusk sedge]

And should I tighten all the other screws down all the way or will that be bad since one isn’t?

[calm pulsar]

I think aesthetically you want everything to be even so you might need to tigthen the other ones in the same manner as the one close to usb

[dusk sedge]

Is it normal for that to happen with this case to get the usb c to line up?

[calm pulsar]

honestly I think when I was building I just tightened all the screws all the way, without being overly tight, and it was aligned

maybe your zip n fit is too thick?

[dusk sedge]

Hmm but the usb c sits too low when tightening all the way down

[calm pulsar]

did you install any extra standoffs?

[dusk sedge]

Nope

[calm pulsar]

so when you align the usb port, is the rest of the pcb at an angle?

[fallen echo]

when you report on this, have you put in more screws or only the one at the USB?

[spare stirrup]

What's the best switch
in terms of sound?

[fallen echo]

entirely subjective, but plenty of people here like GEON RAWs. but you will also find people who like Gateron Jades or even stock lekkers

[runic kite]

im rocking neo lavenders rn and i think they are fantastic after hand lubing

[spare stirrup]

I'm trying to achive sound as close as it gets to normal switches - jades are close but sound of top housing is "thin"

[runic kite]

i could send u a sound test i recorded on my phone if you'd likie

i genuinely do think that the lavenders after some love are the way to go over all the expensive options nowadays

[calm pulsar]

I think jade pros or jades are the closest there is to MX, but still far away from being truly MX-like

[spare stirrup]

Sure I would love to hear it.

[runic kite]

sure thing

[polar trellis]

A

[dusk sedge]

Theres space to shift it top and bottom should I shift the pcb all the way towards the top?

[flat cobalt]

Make sure you remove all the screws and press it up into the case gently

My Acrylic one fits weird but my meteorite one fits perfectly

[dusk sedge]

So slide it towards the top?

So it makes contact at the top and leaves a slight gap at the bottom?

[flat cobalt]

Gently just make sure it’s placed correctly like Arc said

[flat cobalt]

Will you be able to screw it in?

[dusk sedge]

Wow what a headache, after shifting it around a bunch the only way for it to lign up is at the bottom of the case all the way, with it there is can screw everything all the way down and the port lines up

At one point I had to take it back apart bc a screw shimmied its way into the sandwich plat gap for the stabs 😵‍💫

[flat cobalt]

You aren’t trying to use all the screws right?

[dusk sedge]

No just 4

[proper plume]

Gonna be using my custom modded wooting in my first counter strike lan tournament 💪

[flat cobalt]

I’d say as long as it’s aligned and the usb c makes good contact I’d leave it like that

[dire delta]

I see the friction mounting kit

But without cutouts on the PCB?

It will hit the poles within alle these cases

[chilly mural]

mmm IlumKB having a 'Big Warehouse Clearance' soon on November 1rst

[teal gorge]

I got a mechanical keyboard and it's like green but the switches at the corners of the space bar are orange so it messes up some rgb. Like yellow rgb looks orange at that spot

anyone know what those are called and where can i get them

[ionic breach]

they do have a ton of shit in their warehouse ngl

for fk sake they even have xray stock

[sweet oak]

Xray sale for warehouse event?

[chilly mural]

https://www.ddinstagram.com/ilumkb_/reel/DAkinqaPba5/

O SHIT

This is my req

The drawing is unfortunately covered by the shipping lable though, at least I know they're real.

[glacial wind]

okay so they do exist somewhere https://v.douyin.com/iSB6JG18/

the only video i could find of the ttc magneto pom

seems they're holding the release maybe until boards with it are coming out? I know some upcoming boards were scheduled to be using it

[flat cobalt]

Lowkey might pick some up I regret not getting them

[polar girder]

https://spkeyboards.com/collections/flat-keys/products/sp-f10-flat-keys?variant=46668406456598

Full flat black blanks could be neat looking lol

Idk if I’d like it for gaming tho

[prime orbit]

My new key caps and Geon Raws shall be here in 4 days

🙏🙏

[polar girder]

Praise be.

[velvet vigil]

do I need long pole stabilizers for gateron jades?

[stone flax]

do you

[prime orbit]

The raw HE need new stabs or are the stock ones fine?

Cuz some switches have different like bottom out points right

[glacial wind]

you're fine unless you actually run into wobble spacebar issues

worry about it after it happens since most people won't actually ever run into that issue

[prime orbit]

Ok cool

Ty

Bet

Ty

[velvet vigil]

do I need to get 1.2 mm or the 1.6 mm pcb mount stabs for the wooting 80he

[ruby hill]

1.6 iirc

[velvet vigil]

aight ty

[graceful pawn]

I did run into the issue with my raw HEs btw and I got some tx ap screw in 1.6mm to fix it

it's usable with stock but spacebar is rattly/unstable and shift is "sticky"

[fallen echo]

precisely my experience and precisely the way I fixed it

[jagged hazel]

no issue with the raw he's on my end

[robust siren]

i used raws with stock stabs and they were just rattly, balancing and lubing worked great

[robust siren]

^ decided to get sw knights anyways cause my balancing job was not very good

[tropic urchin]

Knights master stabs

[tawdry tree]

I see something.

#📣│announcements message

[untold wigeon]

That’s your stabs not the Raws

[cosmic shell]

Hello, after installing the 60he pcb into a tofu redux case, I have found that the pcb is very asymmetrical and has a huge gap between the case on the right side, this causes a bit of a problem as the keycaps on the left side rub against the case when pressed. Is this a known problem with the tofu redux case or do i have a defectively placed type c port on my pcb?

[robust siren]

you have to move the usb-c cutout on the case to the right, it should come with a tool to loosen the screw

[cosmic shell]

had no idea about that

ill check it out

uh, having a hard time finding where i left the accesories

is it a standard screw head that i can easily find a bit for?

[stray tiger]

Should be a P1 screw head

[mint pasture]

A review on the Metalic Keycaps on the Wooting 80HE thought people might be interested in the sound test at least here https://youtu.be/RZ3ktksVuE4

[tropic urchin]

@stray tiger today is artisan keycap day 👀

[stray tiger]

You have one coming today?

[tropic urchin]

Ye it delivered a couple hrs ago

[robust siren]

@tulip rapids heres the build list

[tropic urchin]

Super excited to unwrap

[stray tiger]

Was it the keycap quarry one?

[tropic urchin]

I’ll have a picture coming when I get home in a few hrs

[tropic urchin]

Yessir

[tulip rapids]

i have no idea what half of these things are but ty

[stray tiger]

money sinks

[robust siren]

it means i dont like my money

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-nickelodeon-patrick-oops-gif-5752957

me trying to do my first mod

[robust siren]

i did this, got 470$ in pc parts

and a 640 oled monitor

in the span of a month and a half

😭

[tropic urchin]

Rookie numbers /s

[tulip rapids]

cant decide which case to get though

[calm pulsar]

speaking about hating money, just entered my first group buy for a 60% board

[robust siren]

this was also the first keyboard ive modded

[tulip rapids]

tofu 60 redux arcylic or alumaze60. Just thinking how the wooting wrist rest aligns with both cases

[tropic urchin]

It’s only hating money if you get the Jade gaming for that board

[robust siren]

the wrist rest is flush with the tofu redux

both the sides and the front

[tulip rapids]

the case isnt to tall? compare to the default wooting case

[calm pulsar]

lol need them Jade Money made of gold

[tropic urchin]

Tbh I would buy that

That sounds sick

[cosmic shell]

'

[robust siren]

no, its just perfect, im hot home atm so i cant send a side view

[cosmic shell]

'

\

]

[tropic urchin]

But I’ll have to live with my future Jade Frankenswitch

[robust siren]

also the alumaze is just a tiny bit wider due to that gold insert so the sides of the case arent flush with the sides of the wrist rest

[calm pulsar]

damn I need to finish lubing my raw jade knights

[tulip rapids]

okok this is what i choose so far. Am i missing anything? I was thinking of l60v2 switches but idk

[calm pulsar]

I recommend geon raw he

[robust siren]

he wants the thock

[calm pulsar]

whole different feeling compared to lekkers

[jagged hazel]

Geon raw gang

[tulip rapids]

oh okay im worried about the height of the cases and how flush they are with the wooting wrist rest

[tulip rapids]

i like the deep sound and i also have pets so i dont want to make them up when i type lol

"talks in shit in game chat kekekek"

[stray tiger]

@polar girder Work is slowing down soon so get rdy for some CS

[robust siren]

you wont even feel it, only the .0000001mm gap between the wrist rest and the case (obviously since they arent one piece and connected)

[calm pulsar]

my cat would be like "is this thock? more like hollowness"

[tulip rapids]

what are the pros and cons from your experience

[tropic urchin]

Tarnished switch with a flair for hollow

[jagged hazel]

Recently popped some raw HEs in mine and im not even remotely disappointed

[fallen echo]

#maidenless

[calm pulsar]

the feeling is way closer to conventional MX boards, which is what I was looking for ever since I got my og 60he

this is of course preference, but I loved jades as soon as they came out

[lunar sand]

Woooosh. Depends on which mx switches you are talking about ehehe. Raws are good but hang in there

[tulip rapids]

okok

[calm pulsar]

well true, but if we were to put it on a scale it is probably still way closer than open bottom switches 😄

[tulip rapids]

these bad boys huh?

[calm pulsar]

tbh I think the real change is when new generations of HE boards come out

[glacial wind]

Geon raw he, pro: automatic pass at the pearly gates of heaven and gain eternal life. Con: if you prefer the burning flames of hell then maybe this may not make you as happy.

[robust siren]

https://tenor.com/view/hell-yeah-brother-hulk-hogan-nodding-hogan-gif-12315629892838477060

[tulip rapids]

i see 40g and 60g, 50g is sould out

[tropic urchin]

I wonder if Geon knew how much he’s worshipped in this discord 💀

[fallen echo]

check in other shops

[lunar sand]

I just picked up my kbdfans to change a little bit from HE. And the difference is wow

Ehehe

[robust siren]

check aliexpress

[fallen echo]

aliexpress, divinikey, yeah

[tulip rapids]

is that reliable? never purchase from there

[calm pulsar]

do saiyans go to hell when they die though? 😄

[tulip rapids]

im on divinikey rn

[lunar sand]

In terms of feeling. And tbh even the reaction time is strangely not that much

[tulip rapids]

bad ones yes

[tulip rapids]

i assume 50g is what i want?

[calm pulsar]

well he was in this channel himself not long ago and offered a discount code for wooting enjoyers

[lunar sand]

And we are talking about 1000hz with ttc speed silvers v2. I think sometimes we over hype he tbh.

[glacial wind]

Fun fact, senzu beans are actually geon raw he switches

[fallen echo]

https://kbdfans.com/products/geon-raw-he-magnetic-switch?variant=42758834847883 you can buy your tofu from them directly, too

[calm pulsar]

true

[tulip rapids]

ty and 50g is what i want correct?

[glossy pagoda]

Geon is in this server

[jagged hazel]

Tofu60 combo, raws, and some cheap keycap set off Amazon. Bliss

[tulip rapids]

https://store.teamliquid.com/products/lxm0799-mul-multi-wolverine-keycap-set

[tropic urchin]

Oh he def does

[tulip rapids]

i bought this keycap set recently

[robust siren]

well thats preference

[fallen echo]

it is of course preference but most people seem to like the 50g as middle of the road approach, yeah.

[tulip rapids]

how many sets do i buy for the 60he+?

[robust siren]

personally i didnt think 50g would be too much different than 60 so i got 40s

[fallen echo]

7

[robust siren]

well 6 if you dont want extras or care for that 1 key

[fallen echo]

nets you 70 switches. you need ~61 for a 60%

[tulip rapids]

i dont mind having extras just in case

i fuck up lool

[robust siren]

180

[tulip rapids]

damn 117 usd

bruh

[fallen echo]

plus if you get hungry and swallow one or two by accident you got spares.

[tulip rapids]

where you guys buy your lube or i gotta get the hawk tuah girl?

https://tenor.com/view/hawk-tuah-tuesday-hawk-tuah-hawk-tuahsday-gif-1117199666638549289

[jagged hazel]

Raws come lubed fine honestly

[fallen echo]

so, technically you dont need lube for the geons. the new batches seem all fine.

[graceful pawn]

I know, my response was referencing if he should get long pole stabs. I tried with regular and that's my experience with my keycap set, thank u

I got the ap stabs waitin

[tulip rapids]

what about the stabilizers for the kb?

[robust siren]

depends on your keycaps

[fallen echo]

one thing I would like to mention tho is that some people have had the issue with long poles like Geon RAWs or Jades that they needed lp stabilizers too

its a matter of keycaps yeah

[tulip rapids]

idk if these keycaps are shite or not

but theyre wolverine lool

[fallen echo]

there are also stabilizer stoppers who artificially lower travel

as a cheaper alternative

[tropic urchin]

Nah bro that’s wild 😭😭😭

[robust siren]

im using pbtfan keycaps and theyve been working fine with standard travel stabs

[polar girder]

Nice dude yeah I just hit 10k prem/100 wins and bought my first knife lol

I’m ready

[robust siren]

i think youd want to get long pole just in case...

[calm pulsar]

raws have reduced travel, which is why it is recommended to have long pole stabs

you can get geon stem spacers though, to essentially make the stock stabs long poles

stock stabs are good enough tbh, so stem spacers work well imo

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/loading-gif-19421012

[robust siren]

just balance and relube if theyre pingy/rattly

[tulip rapids]

where i buy long pole or stem spacers

kbfans?

[polar girder]

Stock Wooting stabs so underrated

[calm pulsar]

https://divinikey.com/products/geon-stem-spacer

[calm pulsar]

true af

they are actually quite good pcb mount stabs

[graceful pawn]

Im in the US and I use cannon keys or divinikeys, I bought mine off of geons website this time

[robust siren]

stock stabs were a little rattly on mine so i had to bend em
#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[fallen echo]

for the 60he+ the stabs are plate clipped, mind you

[calm pulsar]

btw @polar girder did you end up ordering gmk cosmos? I forgot

[tulip rapids]

so much confusion i appreciate everyone advice !

[polar girder]

Yes and extra

[fallen echo]

yep. went with these. no rattle.

[polar girder]

And picked up these artisan

[calm pulsar]

ohh sick

[robust siren]

went with these

[tulip rapids]

so the stem spacers are like o rings kinda?

[marsh saffron]

The mace is so sick

[robust siren]

i didnt have a fun time with tx ap stabs

[tulip rapids]

and i gotta put them on my geon switches

[fallen echo]

in a sense, yes

[calm pulsar]

I got sceptical about cosmos at some point so decided not to preorder, but I got in a group buy today for this board and now starting to regret not ordering cosmos lol

[fallen echo]

no. the stabilizer stems

[tulip rapids]

so two layers per stem?

[polar girder]

lol dang

[tulip rapids]

oh okay mb

[polar girder]

Bro I’m skeptical AF ngl

But I knew I would regret not ordering if it didn’t suck lol

[fallen echo]

you artificially lower stabilizer travel

[polar girder]

So I had to

[calm pulsar]

yeah at the very least they would be like gmk blanks

[polar girder]

Gonna pick up PBS BoB ASAP until cosmos drops then see what I want

[calm pulsar]

so very unique and cool

[tulip rapids]

for the tofu case do i need anything else or?

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m scared it might look too cheap glitter or be weird but I’m sure it’ll slap

[calm pulsar]

*none of cherry gmk blanks exist btw

[tulip rapids]

how many stems do i buy?

[calm pulsar]

nah gmk is very high quality and precision, so it likely won't disappoint

in terms of plastic quality and stuff

the design on the other hand may differ from renders

so we'll see I guess

[robust siren]

tipically its a set of stabilizers for a whole keyboard

[fallen echo]

I think one set should be more than enough

[robust siren]

for example, both the knights and tx aps came with 4 modifiers and 1 for the spacebar

[jagged hazel]

Are these worth it? my spacebar rattle isnt too bad

[lunar sand]

Why ? Mines were lub and set and then forget. Leave us your experience

[robust siren]

you need to balance the stabilizer wires

[tulip rapids]

okok ty you both @fallen echo

[calm pulsar]

they are not for rattle, more like for making your stabs act like long poles

[jagged hazel]

How would I go about doing that?

[graceful pawn]

also this is random. but over months of waiting I've ended up with a lot of different HE switches. so if there's a frankenswitch anyone wants to hear the sound of, lmk

[jagged hazel]

What does that change?

[tulip rapids]

im down to listen to it

[calm pulsar]

try pressing with force at edges of stab keycaps, with raws they might tilt around

[robust siren]

the wires wouldnt snap into the stabilizer housings, they were too thick i tried every wire and every stab housing and none of them clipped in

[calm pulsar]

so long poles fix that

[jagged hazel]

Ohhh I see what you mean

[robust siren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=547rtvaE9nI

[polar girder]

Right but also ABS

[calm pulsar]

yeah, I mean in real use it's not much of an issue, so I just did that for the perfection 😄

[polar girder]

which I’m not sold on but it’ll be my first ABS and first GMK set so I’m happy to check it out

[robust siren]

^ this is more just trial and error

but i have noticed when i did it for stock stabs, it sounded significantly better

[tulip rapids]

spooky i dmed you if that was okay

[calm pulsar]

I never switched off gmk since I got my first set lol, been loving it since

I think abs is good for double shot caps, and for a pbt set, I'd choose dyesub for the extra thickness

[tulip rapids]

i iz peasant noob 🥺

[jagged hazel]

How mine sounds current with the raws and stock stabs

[calm pulsar]

love the anodized gray redux, I had this color as well

[jagged hazel]

Its so clean

[robust siren]

they look like crosshairs but they arent

[polar girder]

Looking forward to checking them out sometime next year lol

[tulip rapids]

wish me luck everyone if you dont hear from me within two months i fucked my keyboard up

[silk hound]

good luck you should be fine :)

[jagged hazel]

Its easier than it seems. But good luck and enjoy

[fallen echo]

the stabs sound too hollow for my liking.

[jagged hazel]

Balancing them currently

Or, trying to at least

[fallen echo]

fair

[lost garnet]

what switches that work with the 60he sound/work best with ceramic keycaps?

[tidal isle]

Would y'all recommend alumaze or tofu redux? looking to build my first custom keyboard. 300 euro budget.

[jagged hazel]

I prefer the look of tofu. Quality of it feels great too

[fallen echo]

I would say its mostly preference, yeah

[marsh saffron]

Tofu > alumaze imo

Both in the sound and looks department

[jagged hazel]

Both are great quality, tofu just looks more clean

[calm pulsar]

freebird60

[tidal isle]

Yeah, i've heard a lot about the tofu, only downside is with shipping and brass weight it costs alomst 140.

[polar girder]

Check aliexpress?

[fallen echo]

the brass weight is not necessary

[polar girder]

It’s pretty nice addition tho

[marsh saffron]

Necessary no but 100% worth it

[calm pulsar]

yeah I'd say it is worth it if you're getting this case anyways

[polar girder]

Yeah the brass weight addition helps the redux punch way above its weight class. Without it it kind of just fits right in.

IMO

[tidal isle]

80 bucks without weight.

[calm pulsar]

https://keebsforall.com/products/freebird60-case-only?variant=40272334618782

freebird60 though is way cheaper and looks more low profile than tofu if that's what you're into

[polar girder]

So like $110 with?

[tidal isle]

damn 65 for shipping

[calm pulsar]

oh you're in netherlands

[tidal isle]

yh

Think imma go with alumaze

tofu is hard to get here

[calm pulsar]

kbdfans have an official store on aliexpress, shipping might be cheaper there, but alumaze will probably still turn out cheaper for you

[marsh saffron]

I think alumaze was about 15-20$ cheaper for me in the end, but I'm still glad I went with the tofu

[polar girder]

They’re both nice cases tho

[marsh saffron]

Yeah my buddy brought his alumaze build over and I tried my build in it

Sounded louder in the alumaze, and a smidge more pingy

[tidal isle]

I wanna try to stick to my 300 euro budget. 300 is already on the high side for a keyboard if u ask me, but hey always better then having to replace my keyboard that was 50 bucks every year.

[marsh saffron]

My keyboard has cost me quite a bit more than 300 euro

[polar girder]

lol

[tidal isle]

haha

like this look, think imma just copy it but with a black case and for now full white caps

[velvet vigil]

if you‘re down to wait, maxgaming is gonna restock the tofu redux in nov

you can also get the brass weight there

[tidal isle]

I have 1 broken hand rn and cant game till the 30th of this month. My keyboard also broke 1 week ago after i spilled water on it. I want to get back to gaming asap when my hand works again.

so I have some time now to build the ultimate keyboard for myslf XD

[marsh saffron]

Here's some tofu propaganda

[tidal isle]

Looks really good. I was personally thinking meteorite grey tofu w white keycaps, but i think it looks a bit "boring" in my setup

[marsh saffron]

Tbh I was kinda disappointed with how the meteorite looks outside of renders

[tall saffron]

Did they fix the calibration issue ?

[tidal isle]

this is how my setup looks, currently 3xl mousepad and diff monitor, so i think a boring keyboard wont stand out (will be getting a yellow strap for the wooting)

[sweet oak]

Correct me if im wrong but is this the aliexpress link for raw hes coming from kbdfans?

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807596259704.html?

@marsh saffron

[marsh saffron]

Here's my setup

[pliant kernel]

Yeah, raw hes can be found at kbdfans

[tidal isle]

damn

[pliant kernel]

Which makes one-stop shop to be convenient with tofu60 case and keycaps

[tidal isle]

I mostly play competitive so only running 1 monitor for better fps.

[marsh saffron]

Dang it says 9$ for shipping

Just gotta hope import fees aren't too bad

[marsh saffron]

Idc about the few fps I lose

I like the extra monitors

[sweet oak]

I never used ali so i wouldnt know

[tidal isle]

YH, im thinking about 1 aswell. especially cause i always have dc and spotify running.

[marsh saffron]

I'm Canadian so the answer is probably yes

[sweet oak]

Oh yeah thatd do it I’m sure

Monopoly money

[mint pasture]

How do you like the Geon Raw 40G versus the Jade Pro? I feel like sometimes the Jade pro feels harder to press.

[low flame]

Cherry profiled keycaps are an abomination

[calm pulsar]

its oem, a bit taller but cherry-like

[devout torrent]

some of the sets they sell are cherry

https://wooting.io/product/wooting-dye-sub-pbt-keycaps-black?Language=JIS+Japanese&Color=Black

for example

[pliant kernel]

Oem is the best cherries need to be thrown into a tire fire

[marsh saffron]

What profile is x-ray?

[calm pulsar]

insane take cause oem is cherry but taller

[calm pulsar]

cherry

[marsh saffron]

Sweet

[low flame]

That’s why cherries are stupid

I hate short

Profiled keycaps

They are a scam!!!

[calm pulsar]

SA is the best OEM needs to be wiped off the face of the earth

[low flame]

I can agree with that

No body sells sa though

[jagged hazel]

low profile keycaps>

(im joking dont bully me)

[tropic urchin]

It is a little jarring going from OEM height to cherry, but calling it a scam is a crazy take

[low flame]

I hate short keycaps in general they look ugly

[polar girder]

https://spkeyboards.com/collections/standard-sa-doubleshot-abs-keycap-set

https://spkeyboards.com/collections/sa-p-standard-keycaps

[tropic urchin]

I like height as well, but there’s like so many different looks for GMKs and other themes so that’s kinda wild. There’s a keycap set for everything, cherry profile included.

[polar girder]

Dang those WoB actually pretty tempting lolz

Need BoB tho

The right is SPK keycap

[calm pulsar]

I want MTNU WoB

[polar girder]

They’re real nice

Thick and tall AF

[untold wigeon]

hey guys, just bought my first wooting, wooting 60he+, any suggestion for mods?

[low flame]

Tall and thick > short and thick

[robust siren]

depends on the sound you want

[tulip rapids]

@fallen echo hey quick question why did you recommend geon stem spacers again? Should the standard stems on the 60he+ be good enough?

[polar girder]

What’s the goal?

Both good for diff reasons

PC softer feel and lower pitch. CF stiffer feel and higher pitched.

[untold wigeon]

clean and kinda quiet but still very good sound

[robust siren]

so im gonna guess a “deeper” sound profile?

[untold wigeon]

yes something like that

[robust siren]

for switches, youd want either the L60 v2s or the black knights and a soft plate like POM or PC (included with 60he+ module)

[fallen echo]

if you have wobble on the spacebar or shiftbar, these spacers should help keeping the stabilizers in line with the travel length of the switch itself. personally I recommend screw in long pole stabilizers. but the stem spacers are the cheaper solution

[robust siren]

be warned that these deeper-sounding switches also have some slight hollow-ness to them

[tulip rapids]

dont the wooting offer long pole stabilizers?

i have a preassemble 60h+

[fallen echo]

no. as lekkers are "regular" pole, the stabs are for the same length.

[tulip rapids]

since i bought geon raw he switches do you recommend i should just buy long poles or the spaces will do just as fine for the price

lmk if i dont make sense as well. im very new to all of this

[robust siren]

stock stabs are fine if you have good keycaps

[tulip rapids]

how do i know if the keycaps i have are good? Since i bought those esports gaming keycaps

[robust siren]

i actually havent tried stock wooting caps on raws yet, i have the standard length sw knights

[fallen echo]

good stabilizers are not expensive. and I would claim that screw in long pole stabilizers will sound better than the already good default stabilizers.

[robust siren]

best way is just to try them out

[tulip rapids]

where do i buy the long poles kbfans? or divinikey?

[tulip rapids]

bet ima post a video once im done and get flamed lmfaooo

[robust siren]

how much is shipping to canada using mechanicalkeyboards?

[fallen echo]

kbdfans, divinikey, swagkeys, maxgaming. look for tx ap, swagkeys knights or staebies.

[robust siren]

i bought sw knights from ^, $4 shipping inside the US

everywhere else was $8 and out of stock

i think mechanicalkeyboards are now also out of stock

[tulip rapids]

probably 50

this gif is strangely high res

[prisma stump]

Anyone know Hall Effect switches that sound as closely as possible to the Matcha Latte switches?

[tulip rapids]

whats everyone thoughts on dielectric grease on the spacebar wire

[robust siren]

coffee switches

[robust siren]

its fine, interchangeable with 205g0

[tulip rapids]

just watching a video where he prefers that over 205g0

[calm pulsar]

none

[robust siren]

actually recommended more for wires and 205g0 is more for the stab housing

[tulip rapids]

ty i'll look into those

[prisma stump]

:(

[tulip rapids]

okok off to amazon i guess

[quiet bay]

closest would probably be raws but it's pretty high pitched

[tulip rapids]

or maybe home depot has that?

[calm pulsar]

raws are a recommendation as a good switch, but it's safer to build around the sound of raws rather than expecting them to be like a specific MX switch

[tulip rapids]

you guys think cherry profile, mx compatible dye sublimated PBT keycaps are good quality or should i just say fuck that and get gmk?

[quiet bay]

yeah raws are pretty clacky but with enough modification I think it can sound similar to it

potential to have that "creamy" sound

obviously won't exactly be like what they want but it's something

[prisma stump]

it's not for me, it's for my boyfriend. been doing a lot of research for him since I convinced him to go from custom to hall effect. He's a fan of all the features wooting offers and the potential it has to improve his skills on said features but he'd like some good sounding switches that fit his preferences

[fallen echo]

I am listening to a soundtest with these and I think geon raws CAN sound similar to these

[harsh dove]

Hall Effect Switches still have a ways to go before sounding like MX, if they ever do, tolerances have gotten a lot better recently but it really comes down to use of different materials which we haven't really gotten yet, most HE switches all use Nylon and PC Housings with POM stems. Also the fact that HE switches don't have any metal contacts like MX so you they don't get the same sound characteristics.

[robust siren]

depends who youre buying from

[tulip rapids]

its made from alienware lol

[harsh dove]

Most peoples complaints with current HE are thin top out sounds, chatter, and spring ping

[robust siren]

alienware made those keycaps?

[tulip rapids]

shhhiiii let me find out

[robust siren]

anyways knowing how much they charge for their pc and laptops alienware is not the move

[calm pulsar]

bottom out of the big magnet stem is also different to MX switches, and this probably won't change unless a whole new pcb and switch structure appears

[tulip rapids]

i dm you the keycaps

[polar girder]

Just need smaller magnets

[harsh dove]

Yeah that too, there is that switch that has the magnet in the side(?), I can't recall the name of it

[polar girder]

[harsh dove]

but also requires diff PCB like you said

[calm pulsar]

I think some drunkdeer have that and also the low profile jade

has that structure

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[calm pulsar]

but they all lack customization of 60he

[uneven cradle]

Nuphy low profile had the side magnet from memory

[robust siren]

doesnt say anything about keycap thickness anywhere 💀

[tulip rapids]

i know but its wolverine

[uneven cradle]

Oh yeah they use the low profile jades so checks out

[robust siren]

also ik TL from csgo and valor, didnt know they sold stuff like that

[calm pulsar]

its weird that they also released both jade and jade pro low profiles for some reason

[tulip rapids]

i'll email their support, what questions should i ask? Whos the manufacture of the keycaps? whats the thickness?

[robust siren]

they also dont show the bottom of the keycaps

[tulip rapids]

i think its cherry mx

[calm pulsar]

oh no someone buying the highground keycaps💀

[robust siren]

probably just thickness

[tulip rapids]

they aint high ground 😭

[robust siren]

nah its some wolverine team liquid keycaps

though they are still prints so…

[calm pulsar]

will look weird on the keyboard still lul

[robust siren]

do what you will with that information

[robust siren]

dye sub will always ware faster than double shot if its a cheap print

[tulip rapids]

eh bro i can always return them

[robust siren]

buy that samsung monitor!! (/s return policy is booty)

[robust siren]

does costco sell the g6 oled?

[vague stag]

missed the build, did they reveal anything new?

[robust siren]

ik yall got costcos up there, or there was one where i went

[tulip rapids]

probably not they always sell old tech

we got costcos here but not sams

[robust siren]

the costco here have the g9 ultrawide

[tulip rapids]

eh man

this country dont want me to succeed

[robust siren]

i like my pbtfans crosshairs

very gud

nice lil triple shot pbt action

[graceful pawn]

the jades do feel harder to press. I know I'll get a lot of flak but I actually like the sound of the jades more. but the raws can't be beat for how smooth they feel. that's why I'm resolved to do a jade frankenswitch if I can keep the deep sound and manage to get a lighter feel

[tulip rapids]

gmk keycaps are heavier no?

[calm pulsar]

this is what I'm doing rn

raw stem with jade bottom

[robust siren]

gmks are abs im pretty sure

[polar girder]

gmkkeycap and gmkkeycaps dot come are fakes btw, not real gmk

[tulip rapids]

bruh

[polar girder]

I knowwww

[robust siren]

[tulip rapids]

why i keep finding crappy keycaps

[polar girder]

🤮

[calm pulsar]

you can get them for the designs but they arent genuine gmk keycaps, just saying 😄

[tulip rapids]

ty for letting me know

time to go im getting flammed in here lmfao

[robust siren]

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

any takeaways so far? I literally bought extra raws for the experiment

[robust siren]

use this @tulip rapids

[calm pulsar]

nah its all good, just wouldn't want you to spend money thinking it is the gmk

[calm pulsar]

I think pbt dyesub sets from like amazon or some vendors are a safe bet, and mostly affordable too

[tulip rapids]

yeah i bought some from amazon recently the texture on it not amazing compared to the wooting pbt ones but it is what it is

if anything i can always stick to wooting keycaps

since they dont cost that much

[robust siren]

keycaps were like 1/3 of the modding costs

[uneven cradle]

Someone say keycaps

[robust siren]

[uneven cradle]

Should be getting 2 new sets

Evil Dolch and Rubrehose

[mint pasture]

I love the poppy jade pro sound. How do the Geons feel smoother?

[robust siren]

wished i got the evil dolches, gmks less than 50$ for the 60%

oh well too late

[marsh saffron]

My x-ray set should be finishing/finished production right away here

[graceful pawn]

jades have that stiffness where if you hit it from the wrong angle it fights you to go down the right way. I'm sure it helps the sound and it's more of a skill issue, but it doesn't feel good to have resistance like that. Geons manage to hit a sweet spot where they wobble a tiny bit to let you hit the key at any angle without feeling 'loose', like my lekker V1s feel

[calm pulsar]

I used to build a jade stem + black knight top + jade bottom, but it was too tight sometimes

so raw stem in this frankenswitch is actually good on smoothness, but also the bottom out sound of jades

[tropic urchin]

@stray tiger so sparkly

[graceful pawn]

so jade bottom, geon stem, what's your top gonna be?

[calm pulsar]

black knight, as I just mentioned

[graceful pawn]

oh you're keeping the black knight top?

[calm pulsar]

yeah they fit

[graceful pawn]

hm, well i'd love to hear how those turn out. when I take this keeb apart to put in the long pole stabs i'll take that opportunity to sound test the jade vs pro vs max and start frankenswitching

[calm pulsar]

I have a sound test with the first version when I had the gateron stem

[calm pulsar]

fr4 plate, so quite bright, but very clean

some keys were too tight as I mentioned

I will do a sound test when I finish installing raw stems, just need to finish lubing them

[graceful pawn]

ooh that does sound good. I actually think i might like that a bit better than my raws

[mint pasture]

Jade Pro's

[graceful pawn]

man these all sound good. the jade non pros sound deeper than these ones though

I wonder if that sound can be preserved while improving the feel

[mint pasture]

I like the poppy nature of the Jade Pros for sure.

The geons and max will be deeper.

[calm pulsar]

80he just has slilcone instead of plate foam, so higher frequencies go through easier

[graceful pawn]

you guys are making me wanna take mine apart and mod it rn

trying to not tinker too much lmao

[stray tiger]

Love that!

[mint pasture]

All i did was lube my spacebar and replace the stabs

[tropic urchin]

Super smooth to press, big fan

its very hard to get a good pic bc it reflects the world around you

[stray tiger]

I'm ready to see the final build

[tulip rapids]

i got keycaps from team liquid and i got flammed for it

i iz a bot

[tulip rapids]

long pole stabs?

[tropic urchin]

I have it set up on my current keyboard, but Im saving the final pic for when everything is here.. but the idea i ran with is GMK Lazurite (left half is white calcite + white novelities, right is blue + blue novelties) + White Zinc + that escape key and most likely RAWs for switches

and gold space bar

[mint pasture]

Akko Stabs

[thin geyser]

My new geons are coming on thursday, will handlubing make a big difference?

Anyone had lubed their geons?

[calm pulsar]

they are already very good on lube

might do the springs though

[thin geyser]

why only the springs

[tropic urchin]

I tried one fully lubed and it sounded about the same. I do like how the springs sound when its lubed, it creates a nice marbly sound

[thin geyser]

alright i got thef krytox oily lube so ill just bag lube them

I heard someone say with the geons it is nice if you pair them with long pole stabs

is that true?

[calm pulsar]

stab keys wont tilt if you press them with force but that's the only difference

you don't need a new set of stabs for that, can just get geon stem spacers

[thin geyser]

geon stem spacers? what are those

Do they come with the switches?

[calm pulsar]

little shims that you install on normal stabs, essentially making them long pole stabs

no they are sold separately

[thin geyser]

Ah

I think i got soe of those with my jades

there was an extra bag with soemthing

[calm pulsar]

from wooting?

[thin geyser]

no

Bought it from an other website

I can make a pic

[calm pulsar]

I know wooting includes long pole stab stems with jades

[thin geyser]

one sec

[calm pulsar]

ight

[hearty marsh]

boys i need good Iso de Keycaps if there are any

[vague stag]

usally you would need to buy the international set togather with the base set unfortunately

[thin geyser]

These

They came with the switches

[calm pulsar]

yeah they are probably long pole stab stems, you could compare with yours and see if these are longer

though you'd need to clip the legs on these

[thin geyser]

I will probably try it thursday

Which part do I need to cut off?

[calm pulsar]

this is just a general recommendation, and modern stabs come without these clips already

maybe these stems are for plate mount stabs? not sure tbh

[untold wigeon]

If anyone wants a FM ulx pro Tarik I’m selling one. Dm me for details

[thin geyser]

Maybe someone else knows what part to clip off of these jades stab stems

[thin geyser]

Ty brother

[viral vine]

is there anywhere in US that i can get the stab spacers wihtout having to pay shipping or nah

cuz the shipping is more than the spacers 💀

[random loom]

I mma stick to my viper v3 pro..

[untold wigeon]

I have one too. They’re pretty good

[random loom]

Black, white or I guess the gengar one

?

[random loom]

Oooo I didn’t use the mouse grip tape since I use the white ver

[robust siren]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-patrick-star-broke-poor-gif-14729256

[untold wigeon]

I would have liked the white one. They were sold out when I was buying

[tropic urchin]

tough

I had to drive to a best buy a few towns over

[random loom]

Brought the last white ver when I was in HK I went to the Razer store

[random loom]

Sad

Wooting store when 🧐

[untold wigeon]

I had to drive 45 minutes to get one of three left at microcenter

[tropic urchin]

the same time they get a HQ

[tropic urchin]

Oooh we had a similar drive then

[random loom]

Mhm

[tropic urchin]

I think mine was last as well

[random loom]

I had to walk for 1 hour and a half

[tropic urchin]

That lease tho for HQ or a wooting store would probably suck

[tropic urchin]

thats wild

Not to mention I had to ride a subway for another hour

[polar girder]

An M3K on a dathper mod on the left and a VV2 pro in a PMM mod on the right

[tropic urchin]

was your mouse blessed by jesus christ bc id rather have bought it online

[polar girder]

One weighs 13g and other weighs 25g

I use the M3K for CS2 and vv2 mod for WZ

[robust siren]

yes

[random loom]

Online: 2 weeks
Brought it online then just went to the store and take the mice: 2 hours

[polar girder]

I saw the Hitscan hyperlight today

Looks sick

[random loom]

Still using that?

[robust siren]

of course, i just got the replacements

its good for another 2 years probably

[random loom]

Ye prob

[random loom]

Used a g703 before. Thank god I got it for free because the mouse was so bad

The shape was great but the buttons felt non existent

[robust siren]

ive been seeing a lot of ads on pwnage mice

im not sure if theyre good or not

[tropic urchin]

Me with Final mouse/WL Mouse

see it everywhere

[robust siren]

people say finalmouse is pretty bad with qc and wlmouse is a fm clone but better qc

[marsh saffron]

WLmouse is great

Finalmouse I wouldn't recommend to anyone

[tropic urchin]

WL kinda just seems like a final mouse clone to me

[marsh saffron]

WLmouse modified old finalmouse molds

[robust siren]

ah

[marsh saffron]

But made a much better product in the end

They reused the starlight molds

[random loom]

Omg you can customize it 😍😍

[robust siren]

they seem to be doing a Halloween sale for their mysteryboxes

[cedar sparrow]

they're better for the money

[marsh saffron]

Performance wise they are practically on par with finalmouse, with much better QC/build quality

[cedar sparrow]

ulx comp is TECHNICALLY the best mouse in terms of specs rn tho

[marsh saffron]

By what a few dozen microseconds

[cedar sparrow]

there's no difference in speed you will feel once u get to 8k tho lol

and nobody actually uses 8k for gaming

so

[marsh saffron]

There's no difference past 2k if you ask me

Once you get that low it literally does not matter

[random loom]

Nanoseconds

[cedar sparrow]

Beast X mini/max>ULX in everything except performance if you go down to the milliseconds

[marsh saffron]

Microseconds*

[cedar sparrow]

the ulx comp appears to have better build quality though

[marsh saffron]

Beastx max and ulx iirc are maybe 100 microseconds apart at best

[cedar sparrow]

but we'll see when reviews drop

[robust siren]

gaming hobby is expensive

[tropic urchin]

could be worse

you could be a golfer

[calm pulsar]

[tropic urchin]

RAWs are all done

and also: i only had 3 switches open up like you demo-ed

[calm pulsar]

the springs?

[tropic urchin]

ye

[calm pulsar]

ah nice

[tropic urchin]

I put an 80g spring in for my artisan

[calm pulsar]

it'll look good with your keycap set

[tropic urchin]

Oh yes

Thock father was cookin with that req

[marsh saffron]

Or a car enthusiast...

[tropic urchin]

cool 6 figures right there

[marsh saffron]

Especially if you want to mess around and mod your new toys

And who wouldn't wanna do that

[robust siren]

[tropic urchin]

oh wow this is actually really cool, 80g spring is a big boy

finger gains

[robust siren]

“hahah bmw downpipe and tune”

(insert toyota mk5 is a bmw joke)

[marsh saffron]

The mk5 is cool but a total flop in my eyes

They didn't properly pay homage to the mk3 and 4

[robust siren]

toyota made a better bmw than bmw

[robust siren]

oh yeah, for sure

[random loom]

Do heavier springs even matter

In terms of sound

[marsh saffron]

Can't lie I do love some beamers

Would love to own an e30

And absolutely adore m2 comps

[robust siren]

toyota made a better manual transmission for the mk5 than bmw did in the z4

[calm pulsar]

sound not so much, just depends on kind of feel you want to get
also if you get heavier keycaps like some artisans or cerakey sets it is recommended to use heavier springs

[marsh saffron]

I'm glad they did make a manual version

[robust siren]

still using mostly bmw parts

[marsh saffron]

Would've been a genuine flop if they hadn't

[robust siren]

shouldve been available at launch imo

not a year or 2 after the release

[marsh saffron]

This too

[robust siren]

theres another one coming out soon too, the mk5 mr

[marsh saffron]

I want a gr Yaris so bad

[robust siren]

imo the nissan z was a bigger flop

[tropic urchin]

This thing feels fucking crazy with 80g 💀

[marsh saffron]

Tbh I forgot this thing existed

[robust siren]

the yaris is cool

called the gr corolla in the US

[marsh saffron]

It's different though

[random loom]

Wait how does heavier springs affect the sound

[robust siren]

unfortunately

the yaris isnt sold in the US right?

[marsh saffron]

The Yaris platform looks much more fun for the power train

[marsh saffron]

Not the new gr Yaris

[tropic urchin]

It makes it a little deeper I think, with the standard geon spring it basically traveled on its own, but it 100% changes the feel of the switch

[robust siren]

yup, its barely staying relevant with the z nismo

[tropic urchin]

when you press the switch with the new spring its deeper and a little louder, but you can feel the weight of it. Its cool

[robust siren]

V8, w16

Bugattis have a deep tone to them

[tropic urchin]

What about marbly dreamy cars

[robust siren]

its the quad turbos

[random loom]

Shit

I needed a more marbly sound why did I buy the 40g geon raws

[calm pulsar]

I guess you could get a tesla and add keyboard sounds when driving

[marsh saffron]

Yeah I guess the quad turbos help with that a lot

[tropic urchin]

I HATE electric 💀

[marsh saffron]

Wonder what the w16 would sound like na

[calm pulsar]

with heavier springs you just bottom out with less force, so that's likely the differnce lol

[marsh saffron]

https://youtu.be/VJmrh7mLKc0

Is this thock?

[tropic urchin]

Dont have anything against tesla per se, but the US's "oH mY GoD wE NeEd ALl ElEcTrIc CaRs by 20xx" makes me wanna die inside

[marsh saffron]

I have a lot against Tesla

Fuck Elon and fuck Tesla

[random loom]

Wait am confused

[marsh saffron]

Definitely

[tropic urchin]

I got the 50g springs for mine, if you want marbly lube the springs

[random loom]

Would 40g springs even make a clear difference

In terms of sound

[marsh saffron]

Over 50s I wouldn't think so

[calm pulsar]

Im running my geon 62.5g pingless springs and I love em, they don't produce any sound, compared to like a jade max spring

[tropic urchin]

@random loom my artisan above is 80g spring + 3 oz cap, if you want that sound then you'd wanna go cerakeys I think and go for the big boy springs

you need some heavy duty caps for that

[random loom]

Cerakeys heheh…. (Am broke)

[tropic urchin]

"if"

[calm pulsar]

cerakeys are very specific, not for everyone

[tropic urchin]

you should be fine with what you have for marbly

[calm pulsar]

also the tolerances on them might be all over the place

[tropic urchin]

just lube the springs and you're bueno

[marsh saffron]

They sound good but I don't want them

[calm pulsar]

yeh

[marsh saffron]

Is this what causes a lot of cerakeys builds I see to sometimes have "crooked" keys

[robust siren]

i dont like how cerakeys look so…

[calm pulsar]

yeah they seem to be like that and also their top part can have variances, little bumps and stuff

it can be seen under certain angles

but I never had them so

[robust siren]

@marsh saffron clacky cars are def high-revving v12s

812 superfast sounds fucking amazing

[marsh saffron]

What's the lfa?

those 2 v10s are the exception

cgt and lfa

[calm pulsar]

I remember @untold wigeon posted a sound test for his car lol, as is fitting for a car modding channel that we've got here

[robust siren]

cgt and lfa are the geon raws of cars

[tropic urchin]

Ayyy grats

[flat cobalt]

Ohhhh! They’re really nice for gaming and music, have you tried downsizing the ear tips?

[thorn zealot]

its not the tips its that wing/lip on the shell

im not used to that part of the iem yet

but il get used to it

[flat cobalt]

Ah then hopefully like you said your ears get used to it over time

[thorn zealot]

[flat cobalt]

[calm pulsar]

[flat cobalt]

[calm pulsar]

death sentence

[thorn zealot]

[calm pulsar]

@polar girder has to know
though he probably does

[chilly mural]

Mmm, through a process of elimination, I figured out my sister likes gmk stargaze. Im planning to make a keyboard for her but I wonder if should get that.

[polar girder]

Appreciate it tho

Exciting

Hoping I can grab a set. I think I’ll be busy training

Might be good

[thorn zealot]

oh this one is the one

[random loom]

I will do u one better

[calm pulsar]

okay I am banning you now

boom you're banned

[thorn zealot]

nyuh uh

[calm pulsar]

no you can't type guys yall banned

[calm pulsar]

mm doritos

[chilly mural]

At least you can burn it and nothing of value will be lost

[thorn zealot]

yes but the logi g pro 60 is also no value

besides its price

[random loom]

Anyways

So lemme confirm before I assume shit

Heavier springs: deeper sound although difference is slim

Lighter springs: idk

[calm pulsar]

ideally the spring shouldnt be heard cause you don't want it to ping or make noises

but maybe way heavier spring makes the sound different cause you bottom out with less end force (since the spring is stronger)

[random loom]

True

[chilly mural]

hmm, I kinda understand now why gmk sets cost like ~170 eur in my area. Shipping is pain.

[random loom]

Am now struggling between 50g and 40g

Idk what to do

[calm pulsar]

no difference in sound there

just incrementally easier to press, that's it

[untold wigeon]

God I hate Reddit so much. F Spez

[random loom]

I mma do the 50g cuz better feeling yknow

That slightest resistance is just mwah

[chilly mural]

Me want context

[untold wigeon]

Accidentally clicked a link on google search and Reddit instantly created an account for me and then made me jump through a bunch of hoops to delete it. I don’t understand how that’s legal

[random loom]

Guys help

Or

This

Both of them are V keys but different springs

[stone flax]

are u letting either of these top out

or just repeatedly pushing them in

the top out isnt really noticeable if u keep resting ur finger on top

second one sounds cleaner tho

[random loom]

I like press it then release the finger off for like a slight bit then pressed again (too much Fortnite)

[random loom]

I mma collect more votes

[random loom]

@calm pulsar is da final boss here for these sound tests

[polar girder]

Go ahead and wait

But there is no competition

[random loom]

Omg it’s 0-4

[polar girder]

That’s what I’m saying bruh

Ez clap

[random loom]

Ye fr

50g WINS

[polar girder]

What were the springs?

[untold wigeon]

Very new to this, but I just bought this setup:

Wooting 80% Zinc Alloy Case
Wooting Double Shot Backlit PBT Keycap Set (Just White)
Wooting 80HE Module
Gateron Magnetic Jade Gaming Switches (90pcs)

Would love to get some feedback! Is this a solid setup, or am I missing anything important?

[kind helm]

swap jade with raw he

[untold wigeon]

Why?

Will be using it primarily for gaming

[robust siren]

raws for the most part are cheaper and better than jades

[untold wigeon]

What makes them subjectively better?

[robust siren]

it has good factory lube and good tolerances so theres not as much wobble

[untold wigeon]

Ah - I already ordered the Magnetic Jade switches... is it really worth refunding?

[kind helm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKID0ORh1xk

in my personal opinion, raw he is cheaper, sound better, less wobble, and more smooth than the original jade.

[untold wigeon]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[kind helm]

those may actually be decent

[stone flax]

raws better

[stone flax]

nope

[robust siren]

jade gamings are too new

[untold wigeon]

Why?

[robust siren]

not many people have them yet

[kind helm]

yea

[stone flax]

because people in asia have already heavily reviewed it

theyre cheaper koms

[kind helm]

ah

[stone flax]

shitty sound profile

marginal wobble improvement

[tulip rapids]

fr4 is their version of pc right?

[stone flax]

sounds plasticky

really really plasticky

🤢

[untold wigeon]

so you think I should refund and get what?

[robust siren]

no, its a completely different material

[naive crest]

Hi, got wooting 60he+ but left side of the spacebar sounds different than the middle and right side, would lubing the left stab fix the issue or that would be pointless?

[robust siren]

its stiffer than pc

[stone flax]

up to you

[stone flax]

different how

[untold wigeon]

Can you link me the keys you are talking about?

[naive crest]

as in more hollow?

[tulip rapids]

what material is it? bro im going crazy listening to all these sounds test and theyre all starting to sound the same lmfao

[naive crest]

different sound

higher pitched

[stone flax]

what?

[untold wigeon]

You said the raws are better - Can you send me a link to them?

[stone flax]

tray mount points can cause uneven sound signature throughout the board but but check if lube is even

[tulip rapids]

oh okok ty

[stone flax]

where are you

[untold wigeon]

USA - East Coast.
