[tropic urchin]

They might still have their teeth for that price

[untold wigeon]

Seriously

[untold wigeon]

8k each. $16,000usd for 2 tickets. This doesn’t include fees.

[tropic urchin]

Might as well buy your family 5090s

[tropic urchin]

That’s covered via fees

Don’t worry 🤣🤣🤣

[tulip rapids]

imagine paying 16k and traveling there just for him to decide not to perform

like that drake concert that one time

[untold wigeon]

But then you have to answer endless phone calls about how to use it. Just buy flowers. lol.

[robust siren]

itsl ike a 2 hour drive from where im at so most of the price are gonna be those tickets

[chilly mural]

16k is enough to fill your gaming needs for years

[robust siren]

whales in gacha games: chump change

[tulip rapids]

let me tell you something. for 8k or 16k...You can start a brand new life with a new name

[chilly mural]

I meant 'good' games

[tulip rapids]

[robust siren]

16 is almost doable in getting a cheap abandoned house in japan

[tropic urchin]

We’re on his like 4th just joking so I figured 1 more was on its way

[tulip rapids]

you triggered my trap card

[jade storm]

shut up, it's comfortable lol.

[tropic urchin]

Tactical retreat

Respectable

[primal herald]

does some one knows some keyboard risers for wooting 60he?

[rapid sedge]

mine went from like -3 to 20

lmaoo so

[chilly mural]

Hmm, I bought a stabs for my 80he, but then I realized I have to also disassemble it and put that in with lubing and all.

I'll prop just keep the default one unless the spacebar is bad

[uneven cradle]

Yeah nothing wrong with the stock ones they might just need a bit of a touch up with lube

[ivory stream]

What makes the TTC magneto switches good and should I replace my jades if I want to min max performance for valorant?

[wild hemlock]

Don’t

Not worth

[uneven cradle]

Performance wise there is no change, it's all sound/feeling

[wise root]

Finally done with my 80he.. Tapemod, Spacebar Foam, Gateron Jade Pro Switches (relubed), Knight Stabs(lubed) , GMK Pharaoh Set with an Artisan Metal Keycap as accent. Does somebody have any more ideas what i could do?

[wild hemlock]

Custom pcb

Cause at this point you are done with keyboards

[wise root]

Does that make a big difference in performance or sound?

[wild hemlock]

Not at all

I wasn’t serious too it’s an amazing board

How much was it?

[wise root]

everything combined like 600€

[wild hemlock]

God Damm what did you upgrade from?

[wise root]

80he?

[wild hemlock]

No like previous keyboard

And could I have a sound test 🙂

[wise root]

Keychron Q5

[wild hemlock]

That’s an awesome upgrade then

[wise root]

I don't have a good enough mic for a soundtestr

would sound like shit 😄

[wild hemlock]

Use phone or something

[random loom]

Is it just me or I am the only person that hates iso layout

[wild hemlock]

How? It’s useful for a couple countries

Sure it looks bad but it’s not that bad

[stray tiger]

Its not just you

[wild hemlock]

What’s so bad about it?

[wise root]

I just looks worse... I agree, but i am so damn used to iso that the change would maybe kill me 😄

[tropic urchin]

TTC magnetos are like the jade cousins nobody likes, they sound super scratchy and you have to dump 2 oz of lube and put them on the zinc case for them to sound like jades. If you have OG jades I’d either stay put or go Jade pros or RAWs if you want a new change of pace for sound (won’t impact performance).

[urban harbor]

the point of modding your keyboard is to fix something you don't like. If you're happy with your keyboard, stop cramming in tape and lube 😄

[tropic urchin]

Small left shift I think, since it has to compensate for the large right enter key

If it had the big enter and normal left shift it would be kinda cool imo

[random loom]

Everything

[uneven cradle]

Your options for customization with ISO are limited, ANSI is a lot more widespread

[random loom]

The most annoying thing for me is that for some reason the | \ key for som reason is next to Z

[wise root]

the position or size of the shift key never bothered me. I find the position very comfy because i have big hands and my pinky is almost always on the outer edge of the shift key

[wild hemlock]

That’s the reason I like it 😭

[tropic urchin]

All preference, going from big shift to small would be pretty jarring

[wild hemlock]

Yeah I’m getting a big shift keyboard now do no going back

[tropic urchin]

The big enter is kinda cool, but I’m not sure I’d get used to the small shift since for a lot of other games I need the full real estate 😅

[robust siren]

https://tenor.com/view/enter-dev-developer-commit-git-gif-21009539

that enter big enough?

[calm pulsar]

yeah the left shift is yikes 😄

[viscid gulch]

large enter key is goated

and the öäå is the best thing ever

best layout wouldn't change a thing

[calm pulsar]

tsangan best

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

[viscid gulch]

Jobani those are very different letters

[tropic urchin]

That’s perfect

I only debated ISO bc the lazurite iso enter key is

And then I realized Wooting doesn’t even give NA the option so I was kinda mad then wasn’t when I saw how small the left shift is

@calm pulsar time to see the prize

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/soviet-cat-sovicat-soviet-ussr-cat-gif-13130175187313145119

[tropic urchin]

@calm pulsar it didn’t come in the alligator box but we did get the gold wires!!

L unboxing experience but w/e

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/austin-powers-i-love-gold-goldmember-gif-19735343

[tropic urchin]

The silver wire cannot oppress me 🫡

It took me getting it already lubed/wire balanced to find the gold so let’s hope it doesn’t tick right

Looks straight enough

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/elm-gif-26102787

[tropic urchin]

I had to cancel my original order with mechanical keyboard bc it went from in stock to pre order real fast and I could smell the silver wire swap happening

[untold wigeon]

Nice

[tropic urchin]

Definitely will save me some time when the elusive NA white zinc arrives

[untold wigeon]

White and gold build?

[tropic urchin]

Tech yes

It was for my Jade maxes originally, but I have decided to go my separate ways but I still wanted the gold clear regardless

I got the GMK lazurite keycaps so it has some gold in there with a white/blue look

Now the painful wait for my keyboard and my god switches

[chilly mural]

At least it's safe

[tropic urchin]

True

If the wires are good and no ticking then L unboxing is the price you pay

[chilly mural]

waiting for my keyboard and decide if I wanna switch the stab lmao

I prop rather just pay somebody $20 to replace it since I'm too lazy and I don't trust myself

[tropic urchin]

If you can find a nice guide online it doesn’t look too bad

[tropic urchin]

I mostly just replaced mine for the aesthetic

[chilly mural]

also need a screw driver

[tropic urchin]

And the knights are enthusiast approved so figured they were worth the shot

[chilly mural]

umu

[uneven cradle]

There is a workaround you can change location to the uk and add it to cart and change your address to the US at checkout

But I imagine the shipping fee would be a lot higher

[tropic urchin]

Ah cool, good to know

[untold wigeon]

Where you from? I don’t mind doing it as long as you pay for all the shipping

[chilly mural]

East Malaysia

[untold wigeon]

Nvm I’m USA

lol

[chilly mural]

lmao

It's fine, I know a couple of people near me that prop do it

[robust siren]

that one guy who has a stab stuck to his pcb because of a stripped screw in the stab housing:

[last trout]

What are some of the best sites for keycap sets? I'm looking for ones with graphics rather than plain colors and Amazon doesn't have the greatest selection

[tropic urchin]

might not find a ton of graphics, but might find some closers ones than amazon https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

worth a shot

[terse turret]

will there be any silent lekkers? i understand the apeal itsn't for everyone but for people like me who have a twohe with very limited mods i feel like it would be a good improvement

[marsh saffron]

Wooting x geonworks silent HE would go so hard

[quiet bay]

Wooting x Geonworks in general would be sick

heck Wooting x Owlabs is already cool enough

[uneven cradle]

Very cool collab

My wallet is not ready

Or is it

[analog mulch]

guys any good artisan iso enter?

[fleet summit]

Geon raws are so annoying to lube

[uneven cradle]

Not worth lubing anything but the springs imo

But yes reassembling them is a lot of effort

[fleet summit]

I was just changing the springs actually and i thought, might as well lmao

[tropic urchin]

I tried one fully and didn’t notice a difference so I’d probably stick to the springs if you don’t want to spend too much time on it

[fleet summit]

Reassembling is the pain in the ass

[uneven cradle]

Can confirm

[lost garnet]

will o-ring mount or pc plate make the keyboard slower?

what mods will make the keyboard slower

[thorn zealot]

wdym by slower

like performance wise?

[lost garnet]

yeah

[thorn zealot]

no

[lost garnet]

it says in the modding faq that pc is not best for gaming

[thorn zealot]

its subjective

[lost garnet]

I just want to know f any mods actually make the keyboard less responsive

[thorn zealot]

i dont know any

[lost garnet]

ok

[thorn zealot]

i havent heard of any actually

[lost garnet]

are ceramic keycaps bad for gaming

[thorn zealot]

no

its all subjective

just build the kb that u think is the best in feel, sound, and looks

[bronze quartz]

Not to the nerds

[thorn zealot]

shhh

keep it on the low

[lost garnet]

my goal for my 60he is tofu 60 redux with plate raw hes cerakeys o ring mod

i think thats it

can you do o ring mod in any case that works with 60he?

the stock case?

[thorn zealot]

idk abt all cases

but it def works for redux

im running it rn

[thorn zealot]

thats good

[lost garnet]

what order should I get them in?

[thorn zealot]

what plate u talkin abt btw

[lost garnet]

rn i have stock 60he with some raw he switches that I bought for a test and more coming in two weeks

[lost garnet]

pc

[thorn zealot]

i dont think it matters much

maybe just buy whenever any of them go on sale

or buy the essentials first

[lost garnet]

I want to get what matters most first

[thorn zealot]

like switches, case, keycaps

[lost garnet]

is case rly that important for sound?

[thorn zealot]

from plastic to alu yes

[lost garnet]

its rly expensive and I dont want to get it off of kbdfans

expensive shipping

[thorn zealot]

u can try divinikey

[lost garnet]

out of stock

exept for pink case

lol

[thorn zealot]

maybe pink the move

[lost garnet]

I want to get a white case to match blue crazed cerakeys

also I have another prob

wait gimme a sec

https://www.cerakey.com/products/a-set-alpha?variant=41527148904587

I wanna get these

blank blue crazed

the prob is that the other switches cost 50$

[thorn zealot]

i mean kbs are expensive

[untold wigeon]

Nope they work just fine. People who don’t own them will tell you otherwise. But don’t listen

[thorn zealot]

the build u want is finna cost like 500+

minimum

[lost garnet]

what switches will match with them in the tme be4 I get the other ones

i dont want to get the b set

not yet

what keycaps match blue crazed

[lost garnet]

need like 210$ of stuff'

[untold wigeon]

Don’t do half Cerakeys do the whole board

[lost garnet]

but its 50$ more for a couple of keycaps

[thorn zealot]

worth

[untold wigeon]

It is. The price you pay.

[lost garnet]

should I but them together or in sets

[untold wigeon]

A and b set are all you need

[lost garnet]

is it a bad idea to save the b set for the last thing I get

[thorn zealot]

yes

[lost garnet]

will it rly be that bad having like 90% of the keycaps as cerakeys

[thorn zealot]

it will look wack

[untold wigeon]

If you mix plastic and ceramic you risk different sizes profiles and feel will be all over the place.

[lost garnet]

so what order should I get everything in

[untold wigeon]

Wait until you have all the money for the cerakeys then buy. Patience is a virtue

[thorn zealot]

everything at once!!

[lost garnet]

I need:
Cerakeys (120$)
Tofu 60 Redux (90$)
PC plate (25$)

also o ring and stab lube (25$)

[lost garnet]

cant

[untold wigeon]

$110 for a and b set

[lost garnet]

crazed?

[thorn zealot]

nah im trolling

[untold wigeon]

Case can wait. Plate can wait.

[lost garnet]

u sure about that?

[untold wigeon]

All sets. A and b are $60 a set $50 b set

[lost garnet]

70$ for a set

55$ for b set

crazed more expensive

[untold wigeon]

Where are you looking?

[thorn zealot]

u can prob buy switches and maybe keycaps first

[lost garnet]

cerakey website

[lost garnet]

I bought the switches

coming in 2 weeks

bought off KBDfans store on aliexpress

[untold wigeon]

You were right. Crazed is $69 a set $55 b set

[idle frost]

Hey I was wondering if anyone had a prediction on when aftermarket cases will start being produced for 80he, or if the zinc is worth it

[lost garnet]

so 125$

[untold wigeon]

$124

lol

[lost garnet]

so ur telling me the cerakeys make more of a difference than the pc plate and the tofu 60

together?

[thorn zealot]

no

actually dont listen to me

[thorn zealot]

listen to this man

[opal umbra]

ive had cerakey keycaps

[untold wigeon]

Sure do. They will change your sound more than both other things combined

[opal umbra]

yeah they change your sound a lot

i dont really like them tho

[lost garnet]

I saw ur vid of the raw hes with cerakeys @untold wigeon

[opal umbra]

more of a nice novelty than something i would use on my everyday driver

[untold wigeon]

I love them for daily use. Nothing like cold ceramic on your fingertips

[lost garnet]

so order is cerakeys then what

[opal umbra]

i think its because my hands can get sweaty when its hot

and wet fingers on ceramic feel weird

[lost garnet]

yah my hands get rly sweaty

[opal umbra]

makes an unpleasant typing experience

[lone plume]

.>

[lost garnet]

I keep a towel with me while gaming lol

[untold wigeon]

Doesn’t matter. Needs daily cleaning anyway

[terse turret]

wait till you get pc keycaps

[opal umbra]

polycarbonate keycaps?

[lost garnet]

wdym by daily cleaning

[opal umbra]

i cant say ive ever seen a set of pc keycaps

[untold wigeon]

Wipe down. They are fingerprint magnets

[terse turret]

yeah those with sweaty hands it just glides

its horrible

cerakey\metal keycaps are nice but i can'tjustify spending that much for keycaps

[opal umbra]

some nice pbt keycaps will always be better to me and those other keycaps

[untold wigeon]

Case then plate. Plate doesn’t make as big of a difference as you would think. Unless you’re going from steel/ CF to pc/ Pom

[lone plume]

im damn sad my wooting metal plate make my bottom row sound shitty

[untold wigeon]

I have 2 sets of Cerakey and 2 sets of gmk they are both worth the money

[lone plume]

wooting two he cant really mod much

[lost garnet]

Im going from the stock case

[untold wigeon]

That’s why you do the case after caps.

[terse turret]

i mod cheap boards, paying as much even more than what the board is worth's not worth it

[thorn zealot]

should i go

[terse turret]

but again, keyboards all about personal preferences

[thorn zealot]

like a 30 min drive

[opal umbra]

I sold my cerakey

[untold wigeon]

That’s an opinion. It’s all preference my dude

[cedar gate]

My spacebar was unbearable before I got PC

[untold wigeon]

The only stock part of my Wooting is the pcb. I have like 600 in aftermarket parts on it. All of it is worth it to me.

[opal umbra]

I don’t even use my wooting that much tbh

Only for games

For everything else I use my other boards

[terse turret]

i dipped mine because of the sound

[opal umbra]

The thing about the wooting is no matter what I do to it

It can never have the same feel as a custom mechanical board

[lone plume]

because of tray mount?

[untold wigeon]

It will never feel like an Mx board. Don’t go into it thinking you can make it like one. You’ll save yourself a lot of headaches

[opal umbra]

Yeah I figured that out awhile ago

[untold wigeon]

Just like an Mx board will never be as capable at gaming. Appreciate it for what it is and why it’s different

[opal umbra]

The main reason is because they can’t have flex

[untold wigeon]

Oh yes they can

[opal umbra]

They can

Everyone told me that would do something to the board

[bronze quartz]

Guys be safe there is something that’s gonna happen

[opal umbra]

Hindering its gaming ability

[untold wigeon]

Don’t bend it in half lol.

[opal umbra]

How hard are u pressing down in that vid

[cedar gate]

My spacebar was unbearable before I got PC

[cedar gate]

Fr the only stock part of mine is the pcb

I have like 400 but def worth it

[untold wigeon]

Not that hard.

[lone plume]

video?

can link again holy?

i want some eargrasm

[untold wigeon]

Of what?

@lone plume click on my name my YouTube is linked there

[lone plume]

ok!

yeah! i have those ping sound on those steel plate

especially on the bottom row

[opal umbra]

I’ve never used the steel plate on wooting

[lost garnet]

is it normal for all the rows to sound different

[lone plume]

yeah

[opal umbra]

Yeah

[lone plume]

for my side my top row sound really good

[opal umbra]

Every row has a slightly different sound

[lone plume]

and middle

bottom sound very non mod

unless i do swithc tape mod on the geon

which i already had done it on my lekkar 1.5

sound great but the type feel not for me

[lost garnet]

top row sound thocky qwe row sound pretty good asd row sound creamy zxc row sound quiet bottom row idek

[lone plume]

for mine bottom row sound loud and making my switch sound pingy

[lost garnet]

I thought I just lubed the switches inconsistantly at first

[opal umbra]

Is your wooting your guys daily driver

[lost garnet]

yes

I had steelseries apex pro and now I changed to 60he

[kind helm]

your arm must be hella strong switching keyboard around

[opal umbra]

Lmao

I don’t switch that often

[lost garnet]

I got 60g raw hes bc I want to get cerakeys and they will feel lighter... good move?

cerakeys recommend >55g for the spacebar

[kind helm]

did you get to hear arcsyko's frankenswitch, he did that like 8 hours ago and his board sounds so good

thats better than some MX board in my opinion :3

[opal umbra]

That’s sounds pretty nice

[untold wigeon]

Polyfill. Evens out the board

[untold wigeon]

Are you using the mount near the spacebar?

[lone plume]

nah my is wooting two he

[untold wigeon]

No. 70-100g

[lone plume]

i cannot really do anything

to switch the plate or case

[opal umbra]

Are u the person who wanted to see my Odin 75 when it came

I think it was you right

[kind helm]

yee did it come it already

[opal umbra]

It came but my switches are still coming

[kind helm]

i always like to hear more sound test

[opal umbra]

It says they will be delivered on Friday

[lost garnet]

wait so should I do a spring swap

[untold wigeon]

Just for the spacebar

[opal umbra]

my 55 gram switches worked perfectly fine with cerakeys

i used the nk creams with them

[near barn]

real talk tho why isn't there a variety spring pack for us to just get a feel of how each different weight is in comparison to each other

[untold wigeon]

Just the spacebar. Rebound is too weak with 55-60g

[opal umbra]

yeah it worked fine with the spacebar too

[quasi hinge]

Wooting for home use and lemokey for office

All you guys have like 10 keebs lol

[opal umbra]

hey i only have 4 ok

[untold wigeon]

There is a weight variance in the spacebars. You must have had a lighter one

[opal umbra]

maybe

[quasi hinge]

Opinion of spacebar foam?

I worry it will disintegrate into the board

[opal umbra]

i have never used it

[quasi hinge]

Yeah same

[opal umbra]

i have the option of it with my odin 75 tho

[untold wigeon]

You’re the second person I’ve come across that has a spacebar that works with a lighter spring. Everyone else can’t

[opal umbra]

it came with spacebar foam

[quasi hinge]

Mine works but maybe because they are 50g raws

[untold wigeon]

I’ve never used foam

[opal umbra]

never?

[untold wigeon]

I’m specifically talking for Cerakey

[untold wigeon]

Not in a spacebar

[quasi hinge]

Ahhh yes

[opal umbra]

oh i thought u meant foam in general

[quasi hinge]

Nice caps but heavy and not backlit

[opal umbra]

that makes a lot more sense

[untold wigeon]

No. I use polyfill for the case poron for the midplate

[quasi hinge]

Do you think in a few years they will crack the he code

And make them similar to mx

[opal umbra]

polyfill boards

[quasi hinge]

Or forever we can expect a divide

[opal umbra]

i have never heard a polyfill board

[opal umbra]

idk time will tell

[idle frost]

I was jus wondering if anyone had a prediction on how long itll take for aftermarket cases for the 80he to start being produced

im willing to wait quite a while but is it even gonna happen

[quasi hinge]

Did they say they would release the schematics?

[idle frost]

I think they did yeah

[quasi hinge]

Kind of open source it

I guess anytime?

[kind helm]

someone said some company is making a alu case for 80

[idle frost]

Oh nice

Is the zinc worth it

[quasi hinge]

Depends

[kind helm]

dont ask me, to me 80 is L

[quasi hinge]

Do you like metal cases

[kind helm]

fat L for anyone in modding community in my perspective :3

[idle frost]

I do yeah but then again this is my first "custom"

[quasi hinge]

I have the black zinc

Its fantastic

Some people have said the plastic feels cheap

[idle frost]

yeah thats what im worried about

[quasi hinge]

I prefer metal keebs

[idle frost]

do u know how zinc compares to like aluminum brass or copper

[quasi hinge]

After upgrading my 60 and 60+ to metal cases… cant go back

[quasi hinge]

You would need to ask someone more knowledgeable

[kind helm]

metal case would sound a bit higher pitch then plastic case

[quasi hinge]

Yes, there is also a sound component

Plastic more thoc and metal more pingy right

[idle frost]

yeah i was thinking of doing a tape mod and adding some foam to dampen it a bti more

[kind helm]

and i feel like with metal case people are willing to design it better

[quasi hinge]

I removed the pre applied tape mod in my zinc

[kind helm]

a premium plastic case would be interesting

[quasi hinge]

Sounded better with raws I dunno

[idle frost]

really i see

[quasi hinge]

But im all about performance > feel > sound

Sound is at the bottom of my list

[idle frost]

yeah it would

[quasi hinge]

You could be different

[idle frost]

yeah i think feel is not a big issue for me

im honestly not even much of a gamer anymore but i also didnt wanna spend upwards of 400 on a real custom keyboard

[quasi hinge]

Well the zinc surely feels nice

[idle frost]

okay i see

[quasi hinge]

Then go for plastic

And wait for 3rd party release

[idle frost]

yeah that's what i pre ordered

coming in mid novemeber hopefully

thank you guys

[quasi hinge]

Good luck

[lost garnet]

What is prob gonna be on sale for Black Friday

Cerakeys?

Tofu 60?

[quasi hinge]

Someome should post a list of deals

[quasi hinge]

Never tried these as I need backlit keycaps

[lost garnet]

cerakeys have good shinethrough

[untold wigeon]

Indigo Cerakey shine

@lost garnet

hey guys, im currently modding my 60he

I got the pcb upgarde, it came with a foam and silicone plate aswell

Do i just use one of them or both

[ionic breach]

1

[untold wigeon]

Which one would be better?

[ionic breach]

btw its not a plate

both go between the plate and the pcb

[untold wigeon]

Yeah

[ionic breach]

its a preference for sound

[untold wigeon]

I just dont know the name of it

Lol

[ionic breach]

try both lmao

[untold wigeon]

So the upgraded pcb, is made out of plastic instead of steel

And it sounds better?

[potent lava]

DRAKON BAK YAYYY

[paper bloom]

Its polycarbonate

[ionic breach]

the pc plate is generally more prefered for sound ya

[paper bloom]

@ionic breach btw dude the min i came from all of that shit

I knocked for 3 hrs straight

[ionic breach]

[paper bloom]

Talk about a pain in my ass

[potent lava]

Bro after dealing with it

[paper bloom]

THATS LITERALLY ME BRO

I went over 9000 yesterday

Than today i got no power

[kind helm]

@wild hemlock for shipping to us, theres option with price really similar to aliexpress

[quasi hinge]

didnt know that

[hollow dagger]

omg what specific configuration si this?

[graceful pawn]

man. I'm taking my 80he apart for the third time because of the stabs. two different sets of tx and they're all too tight. gonna do the original Wooting stabs with the 1.6mm stems from the tx and see

[kind helm]

you can probably use the wire too, maybe better than wooting's

[kind helm]

its just the shipping options for superbuy(taobao to global middle man)

[graceful pawn]

the Wooting tx mix is even stiffer. guess I either have to go back to original stabs with key wobble or lube tx like crazy

[kind helm]

how you mean too tight

like the housing is too tight with the plate?

[quasi hinge]

I went the tx route

[hollow dagger]

@varedis_ i replied to the wrong message lol

[graceful pawn]

I managed to salvage it by lubing the tx stabs real heavy. how do you like yours? my issue is that there's so much resistance the raws feel tactile

[quasi hinge]

I cant say Ive had the issue you are describing

everything is straight

with the 50g raws and extra keys, id say its the best board ive owned

no complaints

but thats me, my experience is limited

[graceful pawn]

it's def amazing, my stabs have been the only thing bugging me

ima put lighter springs in the switches to try to ignore the stiff feeling, but my tx stabs were too perfect

my pcb doesn't seem to like the fit

[quasi hinge]

hmmmm

maybe someone will come by who has had this issue

[wild hemlock]

what stabs should i buy if i want them to be really light?

as i dont really like heavy switches to begin with but i use

50 gram switches which already is plenty

[ionic breach]

keys with stabs tends to be lighter to the touch than normal keys

[wild hemlock]

you fr?

okay i guess

[kind helm]

stab shouldn't have any noticeable effect on the "weight" of the key press, i think. since there is nothing inside the stab to push its stem upwards

its the switch's spring doing that

@wild hemlock i got this for the venom

[wild hemlock]

where from?

[kind helm]

from keeb taro's video, i can't wait to try them :3

[wild hemlock]

nuce

ill probably get some other stabs

than what i planned on

as i keep seeing mixed reviews on stuff 😭

[calm pulsar]

on sw knights?

[wild hemlock]

yeah

[calm pulsar]

I dunno I think they are quite good

and most ppl say they are nice

[wild hemlock]

well they might me a bit complex for the first time

[calm pulsar]

uhhh

how?

[wild hemlock]

uhh im stupid :3

[calm pulsar]

they need 1 kind of lube, some others need 2

[kind helm]

only the typeplus one is a bit different right?

[calm pulsar]

if anything they are even a bit easier lul

[wild hemlock]

but i cant lube them yet 😭

[calm pulsar]

yeah typeplus one have a unique structure

[kind helm]

everything else still uses more or less the same structure from my understanding

[calm pulsar]

they are assembled differently

[wild hemlock]

damn is there some pre assembled

[calm pulsar]

just a quick video on lubing the stabs and you're set

[kind helm]

its part of the E X P E R I E N C E

[wild hemlock]

i dont want E X P E R I E N C E

i already gave up when i built my pc

i lost 8 screws

out of the 10 i had

[calm pulsar]

get a prebuilt keyboard xd

[wild hemlock]

no

i want fun

[kind helm]

but you don't want E X P E R I E N C E

you are sending mix signals here, high school dating flash backs

[calm pulsar]

well its not hard to assemble stabs

its like lego

[wild hemlock]

yeah

i bent my pins

on the cpu

like 3 times

but ill make a custom keeb 😄

[chilly mural]

keyboard is less of a risk

[wild hemlock]

you dont know me enough ill mess up anywhere i can

[kind helm]

lets go

[chilly mural]

At worst I think you'll just accidentally bent the stab

[wild hemlock]

imma go intercept it

[kind helm]

I HAVE INFLUENCE IN CHINA

[wild hemlock]

oh

then im good

[kind helm]

TAKE A SHOT YOUNG MAN

[kind helm]

is it possible to wire balance a really fucked up wire

[calm pulsar]

tf was that

[wild hemlock]

uhh

my touchpad is stupid

and triple clicked

and hit that gif

:3

[kind helm]

just be gentle when you build the keyboard, with scew in stabilizer especially you dont have to use a lot of force at all

[wild hemlock]

okay

thanks

[opal umbra]

I’m gonna go there and take it

[wild hemlock]

ill probably go to xi jingping's house if i mess up

paying 3 dollars if someone gives me their wooting right alt

[opal umbra]

Why right alt lol

[wild hemlock]

i dont know

well offer is still up

[ionic breach]

yo thats a tracking number or nah?

my venom now

[kind helm]

say one chinese sentence to me

fine fine i deleted it :3

[ionic breach]

bruddah im chinese

[kind helm]

I don't believe a guy that says "bruddah" is chinese

ain no way

[ionic breach]

[opal umbra]

I am also not Chinese

[wild hemlock]

nah he should say something stereotypical to be chinese

[kind helm]

ching chong ling long

[wild hemlock]

omg you are chinese

[kind helm]

^ not real chinese words btw

[opal umbra]

Bing chilling

[wild hemlock]

stop lying

thats real

@calm pulsar we need you here

[calm pulsar]

what

[wild hemlock]

idk

[ionic breach]

[wild hemlock]

my adhd got the best of me

where do i get knight v2's from?

without an insane shipping fee

[calm pulsar]

didnt you order them alrdy?

from taobao

[wild hemlock]

no

i cant find them there

i thought i could

so i said i did yesterday

[calm pulsar]

there are some new supposedly good stabs (according to mj)
from design studio

might search for them

https://kbdfans.com/collections/keyboard-stabilizer/products/adaptive-pcb-mount-stabilizers

they are on aliexpress too

and cheaper than sw knights

[wild hemlock]

yeah

i just cant find any SW knights in stock

that doesnt require 25 bucks in shipping

but it isnt screw-in

is that an issue?

[calm pulsar]

it is

screw-in

the ones I linked

[kind helm]

knight stab i think is pretty popular right now, i looked for it before i decided on typeplus, sold out on both novelkey and divinikey for us

[wild hemlock]

oh so pcb mount = screw in?

[calm pulsar]

well you screw them in to the pcb so yeah

[wild hemlock]

thanks

[wild hemlock]

damn still 20 dollars shipping

[calm pulsar]

there are also "clip-in" pcb mount stabs
they are the same as screw-ins, but with clips instead of screws

[kind helm]

this maybe easier to install too

[kind helm]

grab from aliexpress

that website has a store on aliexpress

[calm pulsar]

yeah sometimes I ask kbdfans to put stuff from their website to aliexpress so its cheaper for me to get hehe

[wild hemlock]

oh yeah this is better

😄

thanks

[kind helm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSGwlzI5h5g holy60 build look at bro's face

LMAO

[wild hemlock]

what?

bro looks normal

[chilly mural]

he has ascended

[wild hemlock]

he maybe looks like he took an edible

[kind helm]

the face of disappointment when he tap on the space bar

[wild hemlock]

yeah also that

but its the keycaps

he shits on them for a while

[gaunt linden]

Which ones are these stabs?

[kind helm]

i personally don't think switch is the only problem there

[wild hemlock]

oh lmao

[kind helm]

dk, he cut that part out

[wild hemlock]

imma still get the case

[kind helm]

my 3 braincells no understand

[wild hemlock]

with my f8 key as spacebar

i dont think i could care less about sound 😭

[sacred elm]

[wild hemlock]

i hope not

[wild hemlock]

my standards are lower than anything

[sacred elm]

are you rocking raws

[wild hemlock]

nah

[kind helm]

holy60 15 dollars is.... still bad

[wild hemlock]

i dont care about sound

[kind helm]

what if you spill something on the table and it gets on the pcb from the side

[wild hemlock]

[wild hemlock]

i dont eat/drink at my desk

if you do that your shit will just get greasy and dirty

Hey guys, quick question..
Keycaps is something I want to spend on or stay with regular? (For fps gaming)

[left depot]

just personal preference, depends what kind of feel you like for gaming

[wild hemlock]

can i have some keycaps?

just like a lot of alt keys

[left depot]

[wild hemlock]

pls

[gaunt plume]

I have made a list of magnetic switches. It is like an illustrated book.
Since I made it for Japanese, it is mostly in Japanese, but please take a look if you have time.

https://tenor.com/view/musibah-celaka-libhanat-anwar-pakatan-gif-19153653

[quasi hinge]

Wow, didnt realize there was that many switches

under the 50g Raw you included the 60g specs too

[wild hemlock]

man this is impressive well done 😄

if possible ever could you like ask the companies for 1 switch of each

[tropic urchin]

[wild hemlock]

and do a sound test

[fluid ravine]

Happy Halloween kiddo

[calm pulsar]

there’s plenty of that

[tropic urchin]

Next week my god switches might be arriving 👀

Frankie switch time

[gaunt plume]

thx👍
Fixed

[gaunt plume]

I would like to sound test with wooting 80HE if possible.
But I haven't bought it yet because it's too expensive😵‍💫

wooting 80HE JIS is perfect🤘

[ionic breach]

the wooting 80he probably isnt the best board to test it actually

the difference in switches' sound is much smaller

then any other mount

[kind helm]

tofu tray mount with no foam. may not be "pleasant" but the sound should be "less modified"

maybe

[devout torrent]

legend

[quiet bay]

haha my friend took a pic of me in school

[finite carbon]

any suggestions for keeb plate, i've heard good things for the fr4, currently i have the pc

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/aw-shucks-aww-thank-you-gif-25109804

[kind helm]

pc is good, everything else you can get would cause higher pitch. (personally think that is more of a "acquired taste"

i am on fr4 right now. i think its less "pleasant" but more satisfying if that makes any sense at all.

[silk turtle]

guys im new to the keyboard and i cant understand how to use it or modify it or use the keys that missed pls if anyone can teach me just dm or replay

[finite carbon]

i see, thanks for the feedback

[kind helm]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message #🔧│keyboard_modding message

the first one is fr4, the second is cf. both on tofu or something along that line, you can hear yourself

3.5g initiation force? no way thats gotta be a mistype

[gaunt plume]

Typing error. Correction!
3.5gf is crazy

[winter moss]

yea i was wondering hahaha

some keycaps would initialize a click without force being applied

[winter moss]

is it 35g?

[gaunt plume]

yes. 35.0gf.

[ionic breach]

plus minus 5

-1.5gf lmao

[winter moss]

why do i lowkey think a 3.5g switch would be really funny to play on

weitd atleast

[chilly mural]

IlumKb warehouse clearance soon

[calm pulsar]

it won’t be able to hold a keycap even probably lol

[untold wigeon]

Is beta v5 just for the 80he?

[chilly mural]

pog

[ionic breach]

and they have so much stock

wait is xrays included?

[kind helm]

where

the link you sent like last week?

[chilly mural]

https://ilumkb.com/

[kind helm]

i want to get artisan keycap and deskmat :3

[ionic breach]

oh shit it is

XRAY IS GETTING DISCOUNTED

(i think)

[chilly mural]

I think only in stock one

[ionic breach]

it is going to be in stock soon

unless i missed a delay

[chilly mural]

waow

hopefully the gmk that I want is still in stock

[ionic breach]

gg

[kind helm]

[ionic breach]

yesterday

[chilly mural]

lmao

Getting the today's curse

With this message, I can naow go into give away

[little glen]

my friends parents live in sg

so ordering from ilumkb doesnt seem like that terrible of an idea?

idk

[iron wigeon]

someone can tips tape form to buy

[prime orbit]

Very tempting

With my G raws would sound fire

Look good too

So the only thing that can increase performance is the pcb right?

[exotic inlet]

Yes

The rest is pretty subjective, ie personal preference

Like switches, feeling, sound and so on

[drowsy meteor]

What stabs do we like for the 80 he?

[tropic urchin]

Knight v2

[drowsy meteor]

Who makes them?

[exotic inlet]

How are those compared to stock 80he?

[tropic urchin]

Swagkeys

[calm pulsar]

why does everyone want to replace stock stabs

[tropic urchin]

Gateron evil stabs

Can’t be a custom board with stock stabs /s

[drowsy meteor]

Might as well I changed everything else lol

[tropic urchin]

Everyone: stock stabs are fine, try out first. Me:

https://tenor.com/view/captain-america-no-i-dont-think-so-i-will-gif-19197335

[chilly mural]

me prop same

[calm pulsar]

at least you're getting long poles

I think 😄

[drowsy meteor]

I need to decide between switch weights for the raws, I think I am going to replace main keys with them

[polar girder]

Yeah I need long poles now

[drowsy meteor]

I have all 3 weights coming so

[polar girder]

[calm pulsar]

[polar girder]

lol not yet

[chilly mural]

In any case, properly lubed stabs will be a nice little upgrade no matter where you look at it

[calm pulsar]

did you order jades or raws?

[polar girder]

But I probably will

No lol

[calm pulsar]

ah ic

[polar girder]

Was just lamenting I should have ordered them same time as regular ones

[calm pulsar]

well im on regular knight v2s with geon stem spacers rn, it works the same way @polar girder

[drowsy meteor]

What weight?

[tropic urchin]

It said it was for 67/80% unless I cooked myself in pursuit of the gold wires

[calm pulsar]

stabs don't have weights

[chilly mural]

5 set of stab and like 6 wires

should be for tkl

or 6 set of stab, i don't remember

[tropic urchin]

Yeah it had everything else from the other vendor I canceled with

[chilly mural]

yeh

[drowsy meteor]

On the raws

[tropic urchin]

Heavenly weight

[chilly mural]

by the time my wooting arrive, gonna have fun with it stock for a night before sending it to a friend that'll lube, and install the new stab

[calm pulsar]

I used 62.5 pingless springs from geon, but now im using lighter jade pro springs

[polar girder]

Right yeah. Might be fine

[calm pulsar]

its your preference

[tropic urchin]

They did come gold tho 🫡

[calm pulsar]

ohh nice

mine are gold as well hehe

[polar girder]

Man I realized I have knight v2 clear; tx ap clip in , and tx ap plate mount all laying around now

[polar girder]

Too much

[chilly mural]

can build new keyboard

[polar girder]

Or 3

☠️

[tropic urchin]

Didn’t come in the alligator box but atleast they’re gold and wire balanced so as long as they’re got no tick it’s the price you pay

[chilly mural]

gimme one, wanna build one for my sister

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

That's BASE
