[balmy temple]

Ali express for the win

[robust siren]

yes

wrong reply

i meant the one under

[balmy temple]

I just need 15 more messages

[robust siren]

i like my pbtfan keycaps more

[balmy temple]

I don’t like the original gmk keycaps because of the shine

I prefer spending $100 on keycaps that will last💀

Did anyone go out to get candy? 😂

[robust siren]

stole some from lil bro

[balmy temple]

Damn 💀

[robust siren]

[balmy temple]

Not the stealing candy from bro 😂

[robust siren]

hey man candy is candy

and i aint walking in 80F with a costume

[balmy temple]

You are right 😂

[balmy temple]

I didn’t even buy a costume this year

Im a boring human being

I just do boxing, gym, work and sleep

[robust siren]

snagged one of these bad boys for him

it was the last one

[balmy temple]

😂

[jade storm]

[west wing]

A classic

I didn't dress up at all this year; sad

[fluid ravine]

[west wing]

This hurts my teeth

Sad

[kind helm]

i can't wait to try the alu plate after i lubed, after lubing the spring, the switch became slightly more muted, lost a little bit of that umph

[glacial wind]

with the first day sales price ttc pom magneto are coming in at $1 a switch

so still really pricy, but not $1.3 at least lol

https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=833314144967 still only see it on taobao though

[winter moss]

so real

gym school gaming sleep

literally nothing more

[static tendon]

Are Jade Max switches known to get stuck? Sometimes I'll type on a switch and it'll just bind and not go back up

[hollow dagger]

What specific configuration is this?

Geon raw just arrived but these are heaps better than my jade max with 45 lekker springs

[static tendon]

Any particular reason they're better than the Jade Max's?

[hollow dagger]

To me both sound and feel.

I hand lubed the jade max, but wasnt a huge fan of how heavy the felt, swapped the spring out with lekker 45s and it's great!

Sounds muted compared to the geon raw he

[static tendon]

The tolernace of the stem seems very inconsistant. Some of the switches bind and don't go up for me. The sound also feels muted and lifeless, the regular jades have a much more clacky sound and feel better for typing

Bit dissapointing on the Jade Max's costing about 75$

[static tendon]

Yeah I can 100% agree on the muted sound

[hollow dagger]

I didnt face the same problem pre-lubing, could just be a factory defect?

[static tendon]

I really like this fully clear housing though on the Jade Max

[static tendon]

That's my guess, perhaps I should wait longer for a better batch to be made

The stem wobble is noticably reduced on the Jade Max's though

[hollow dagger]

I dont have the regular jade/jade pros to compare the sound

[glacial wind]

Yes it’s a known thing to do with the pc on pc surface most likely

Switches where the stem and housing are the same material have run into the sticky issue in the past (eg Novelkey cream)

[static tendon]

I see, I swapped out one of the switches and it's improved a bit but I still feel resistance. It's odd, these shouldn't cost over 35$ in my opinion

[hollow dagger]

Probably the double rail, but stem wobble is low on on the geon raw he too

[balmy temple]

I was at the gym instead of getting candy

[hollow dagger]

But it does suck to pay 0.70 per and get this kind of quality

[static tendon]

100% agreed

[hollow dagger]

I hear a lot of praise for the jade pros though

[static tendon]

I think I'll try those out next, I just really like this fully clear housing. It's a huge selling point for me personally

[glacial wind]

Dual rail doesn’t really matter or impact things

It’s about tolerances of the housing and stem more than anything else

[static tendon]

The RGB is very vibrant with the Jade Max switches

[calm pulsar]

frog mini case, raw + jade mix switch, alu plate

[hollow bear]

ye honestly would have ordered them instead of normal jade's if I knew about it earlier

especially with the frost case

[static tendon]

I have both currently and the regular jades are still better overall. Jade Max's feel/sound very muted

[hollow bear]

ur using it in the 60?

[static tendon]

Yes

[hollow bear]

ah I see

got a picture of the rgb with jade maxes?

I don't think I've seen how a 60 looks like with maxes

[static tendon]

Tough to see on camera but the lighting is way brighter towards the bottom of the switches making it more consistent

RGB effects become much more noticeable as well

[quasi hinge]

If you bought them directly from gateron they will refund you

[hollow bear]

is that 100% or with tachyon

[quasi hinge]

They refunded mine for the ‘sticky’ issue

And the cost of shipping

[static tendon]

75%. 100% starts to distract me way too much with the fully clear housings 😂

It almost becomes uncomfortably bright

[hollow bear]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-light-computer-gif-21223179

set a mode with 100% brightness and use it as a flashbang for intruders

[static tendon]

There's a ripple RGB effect, if I set it to max brightness, it would constantly flash bang my eyes

😵

[hollow bear]

ye especially at night

navigating through research paper with no dark mode is hell at 1 am

https://tenor.com/view/flashbang-gif-22572243

and I'd rather get flashbang than use the night mode on the monitor :V

[quasi hinge]

Lmao

[dapper blaze]

Been looking at Geon Raptor HE switches and Geon HE RAW switches for an eventual build. Does anyone have experience using either for recommendations on which to get for someone who plays predominately FPS /MOBA games and is used to MX Cherry Reds?

[ionic breach]

i would go with raws

[opal umbra]

i heard raws are good

[kind helm]

think the 3 "best" opinions are raw, jade pro, and lekker v2

any of these 3 is better than cherry reds

[opal umbra]

ive actually never used a cherry mx switch

[kind helm]

also how tf do i hide message, one dumb ass sent a cursed gif in this channel and now i am getting flashbang every 2 sec

[burnt shale]

just block the user

or maybe report the post

¯(°_o)/¯¯

[kind helm]

found a fancy little addon for discord to hide attachment no more cursed gif on my screen

[burnt shale]

i wouldnt recommend posting screenshots from modded discords since there is a very small chance you get banned if by chance a discord moderator sees it

at least according to NTTS

[kind helm]

👀 didn't know that would an issue

interesting

[burnt shale]

yeah since it is against discord TOS

[wild hemlock]

how?

what have you used then

[opal umbra]

i just have never used the cherry mx brand

[wild hemlock]

who was it?

[kind helm]

who was what

[wild hemlock]

so what switches vhave you used

[opal umbra]

nk creams

[wild hemlock]

that sent the gif

[wild hemlock]

spoiled ahh

[calm pulsar]

new glarses video

[opal umbra]

lychee milk tactiles, gateron milky yellow, gateron box ink pink v2, and lekker v2

[kind helm]

2hours ago

[opal umbra]

also u4t bobas, and alpacas

[kind helm]

you started fancy

damn

[wild hemlock]

thats just pure spoiled 😠

[opal umbra]

lmao

[wild hemlock]

i used membrane mx blue mx brown mx red then omnipoint 1.0

😭

[opal umbra]

if it makes u feel any better

my first board ever was the anne pro 2 with gateron blues

[wild hemlock]

i had that board

it sucked badly

[opal umbra]

yeah

i gave it to my friend

[wild hemlock]

the delay was otherwordly

[wild hemlock]

it just bricked for me lmao

then i threw it out

even tho it has a pretty decent case

[kind helm]

that was my guess, if you didn't start with cherry, mustve started with gateron or kaihl

[wild hemlock]

membrane must be first keyboard

[kind helm]

no way you wake up one day, "i gonna get my first keyboard, lets buy a kit for that"

[opal umbra]

lmao yeah

i was just a stupid high school gamer

the anne pro 2 was like 90 bucks too

such a waste of money

[wild hemlock]

yeah

[opal umbra]

i could have gotten a much better board with that money

[wild hemlock]

then my parents got me a razer huntsman mini

for no reason

and i dont like it 😠

[kind helm]

thas what you do to your friend, give them a keyboard with blue switches?

[wild hemlock]

i just gave it away after a couple months

[opal umbra]

i was deciding between that, anne pro 2, and ducky one 2 mini

and went with anne pro 2

[wild hemlock]

they are bascially the same thing

lmao

[opal umbra]

yeah its his first mechanical board

gotta start them off with the blues

[wild hemlock]

nah

[opal umbra]

so they will hate them and want something better

[wild hemlock]

blues are torture

[kind helm]

drop that expectation way way way low

LMAO

[opal umbra]

then they get into the keyboard hobby like me

pass it on as they say

[calm pulsar]

I used to have low pro mechs with blue low pro switches lol

[wild hemlock]

josh can you ship your stuff yet?

[kind helm]

the pcb is there

[wild hemlock]

ooh nice

[kind helm]

the plates still on their way

[wild hemlock]

how much does shipping say?

just for the PCB

and i just found out i cant order it right now

😄 i gotta wait to ship it all

[calm pulsar]

[ionic breach]

[wild hemlock]

that case is hella zesty

hope nothing breaks 🙏

[kind helm]

i gonna ask them how to they should pack it

because i think everything can fit together in one package

[wild hemlock]

can you see the shipping price?

[kind helm]

i sent last night, that was a estimation though

[wild hemlock]

very real

i dont think its been much wooting

[opal umbra]

lmao

[kind helm]

i gonna deal with the packing first before i check the price for shipping

[opal umbra]

its fine the mods dont have to know

nor do they care

[wild hemlock]

in the maxgaming server

[kind helm]

i mean... wooting relates to keyboard and HE switches, we still on topic

all good

[wild hemlock]

i cant call someone an idiot without getting banned

[hollow dagger]

Anyone here have jade max and pros? How do they compare?

[calm pulsar]

jade pros better

[wild hemlock]

yeah

max'es are like the unwanted cousin

[hollow dagger]

In what way? I have max and expectations severely subverted

[kind helm]

which is wonderful, this is chill :3

[calm pulsar]

maxes have stickiness issues and they sound kinda plasticky

[wild hemlock]

yeah :3

[calm pulsar]

jade pros are super smooth and nicer sounding imo

[wild hemlock]

omg cutie calder is here

[quasi hinge]

Yes I can attest to this

[hollow dagger]

Jade vs jade pro?

[quasi hinge]

I had 160 jade maxs

[kind helm]

you think you can "fix" that by cleaning and relubing?

[quasi hinge]

Returned

[quasi hinge]

Absolutely not

[calm pulsar]

jade pro are an upgrade over normal jades

on tolerances and spring

[hollow dagger]

Is your frankenswitch made with jade pros or normal jades?

[kind helm]

i fcked up a few raws because my dumb ass was too lazy with the mixing of my lube. i had to clean up and redo like 6 of them

they were sounding stickying so thats why i thought maybe its solvable

[calm pulsar]

in my switch the jade part is the bottom, and I havent noticed a diff between jade and jade pro

[quasi hinge]

I have now joined the house of Geon Raw. All hail our lord Geon, Rawmen.

[kind helm]

you used jade bottom and not just its spring?

[hollow dagger]

If im not wrong he's using the pingless spring from raws

[calm pulsar]

oh the spring too sorry

[kind helm]

btw OG jade has shorter spring than raw, ididn't know thats possible

[hollow dagger]

Oh mb

Thats probably someone else

[calm pulsar]

nah jade pro spring da best

but i have pingless too

[kind helm]

i wonder if geon was like "oh s44t we fcked up the raw spring, but we are already producing, fck it lets sell these pingless ones separately."

[quasi hinge]

What is the actual difference?

[calm pulsar]

I think pingless ones are just a new thing

[quasi hinge]

someone said that pingless are just lubed

Didnt sound right to me

[kind helm]

supposedly they are pingless, but i didn't get them in time

[quasi hinge]

Raws are made perfect

[calm pulsar]

they are quiet without lubing

[quasi hinge]

Do not mess with lord Geons creations 😂

[kind helm]

delusional :V raw is good for now but not perfect

[quasi hinge]

Im totally joking

They are my fav, im biased

And lazy to create hybrids

[calm pulsar]

nah it aint worth it, unless youre autistic like me

jade pros or raws are my recommendation

[kind helm]

your board is artistic though

you win some you lose some

[hollow dagger]

Seeing the bottom out force of pros and max are similar, don't think I'd enjoy them very much

[quasi hinge]

Does this keyboard thing put us all on the spectrum

[hollow dagger]

Unless i decide to swap the springs out

[calm pulsar]

longer springs of pros and maxes are nicer than others imo

they are light but still have snappy top out

[kind helm]

its surprising not too bad to clean the switches, if you are too picky to be like "i need them completely dry before i relube them" then different story

[quasi hinge]

Uhh sir, your child seems to have autism.

Oh no, what is the problem?

Well you see he lands here in the keyboard section of the spectrum…

[hollow dagger]

I hate those, it fatigues my pinky to press ctrl

And shift, any of the pinky buttons

[calm pulsar]

get 10g springs I dunno 😄

[kind helm]

longer spring you still have the same buttom out force right, just the return is different

[wild hemlock]

why not just stop using springs?

[hollow dagger]

Lekker 45 springs and geon's springless 50s are perfect to me

[serene pine]

I am very interested in Stickyrice from Everglide
As far as the sound goes, it has the Thock sound I like, but the officially published compatibility chart says not available
However, I am confused because sales sites and internet posts say that it can be used without any problems

[wild hemlock]

is there 90 gram springs?

[calm pulsar]

it is probs not exactly like normal jades for example, but they are still lighter

[hollow dagger]

Wooting sells 100g if im not wrong

[kind helm]

mines on its way

[hollow dagger]

Idk whos crazy enough to get that but it's there

[wild hemlock]

ok imma buy one for my caps lock key

[hollow dagger]

You're a psychopath

[calm pulsar]

I used 70g ones, it was fine

[kind helm]

my typeplus stab 😄

[opal umbra]

whoops

[wild hemlock]

can you give me them?

[calm pulsar]

I got a pack of lekker 100s I never used lul

[wild hemlock]

does heavier springs sound better?

[calm pulsar]

not sure but they might be noisier

due to extra material

[wild hemlock]

probably

[kind helm]

https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxJqIbYuCOXzFTRub475F9clj3FocCI_H4

55g spring vs 150g spring

[wild hemlock]

this hurts to watch 😦

[kind helm]

[wild hemlock]

imma stick with my 20 gram raw he's

[hollow dagger]

Did you just decide on a whim to get 90g after feeling how light 20g is

[wild hemlock]

i only want my caps lock key heavy

as im tired of accidentally clicking it

[hollow dagger]

I get it

[wild hemlock]

even at 4mm actuation

[hollow dagger]

Tried lowering the actuation?

Oh lol

Just remove the button

[wild hemlock]

aight bet

just gotta solder it

[full sluice]

anyone familiar with MBK Low Profile keycaps, but with mx stem?

[tropic urchin]

I guess I’m joining the club soon

[wild hemlock]

what switch do i create hybrid with

i wanna ruin the raw he's

as i bought 90 instead of 70

[calm pulsar]

cherry mx brown

[wild hemlock]

what do i take from them?

[tropic urchin]

I’m hoping I can get something similar to your Jade knights arc bc they sound heavenly

[wild hemlock]

oooh

good idea

imma make raw knights

[calm pulsar]

if the upper on god damns is the same as black knights, this should work

[tropic urchin]

Apparently they have a stock 3.8mm travel, is that dependent on the stem (ik it’ll prob not have that when it’s all said and done)

[calm pulsar]

hmm i think it might depend on bottom but not sure

[tropic urchin]

I’m expecting it to be scratchy like the TTCs stock since they’re like cheaper than god

[calm pulsar]

raw stem + black knight upper is a very nice topout sound, which was the idea for my switch

[wild hemlock]

nice

btw you bullied me enough that ill wait and save up for the freebird60 instead of the shitty chinese one

[calm pulsar]

curious for end result

[tropic urchin]

Omg now they just got on the airplane???

[calm pulsar]

lol

[tropic urchin]

Jesus Christ this shipping is worse than Gateron 💀

[wild hemlock]

bullying is good sometimes

[tropic urchin]

Never take free shipping from China ig

[wild hemlock]

wym?

how long does it take

[calm pulsar]

was this AE/

?

[tropic urchin]

AE?

[ionic breach]

aliexpress?

[wild hemlock]

is there anything better for around 85 dollars or am i set?

[tropic urchin]

My maxes took 11 days to get here with economy, my current ones has taken like 4-5 days bouncing around China centers

[calm pulsar]

yeah aliexpress

[tropic urchin]

Ah no, KPrepublic

Might as well be

[calm pulsar]

ah right

[ionic breach]

oh damn

freebird has a good olive

[wild hemlock]

its ugly 😭

id rather become more colourblind so i cant see it anymore

[ionic breach]

[wild hemlock]

yeah what the fuck is that 😭

[ionic breach]

seems good depending on certain themes

[tropic urchin]

I don’t agree with the keycaps but it’s a nice case

[calm pulsar]

ngl I was considering ordering a second freebird in olive

[wild hemlock]

i want the navy one

[calm pulsar]

with vintage color caps it looks good

[ionic breach]

💯

the free bird is too thin for my liking tho

[wild hemlock]

did you sell your freebird arcsyko?

[ionic breach]

seems like they have terrible renders and pics

[calm pulsar]

funny but I liked it specifically for being skinnier 😄

[tropic urchin]

Nice cream caps

[wild hemlock]

if no what colour is it

[calm pulsar]

black

[ionic breach]

the colours for olive and navy is wrong

[wild hemlock]

how much for it?

[tropic urchin]

When’s the anorexic freebird build at

[calm pulsar]

waiting for luminkey lx60 for that xd

[calm pulsar]

let it be 30 + shipping

[wild hemlock]

so like 55 total?

[calm pulsar]

should be smth like this

[wild hemlock]

could we do it over ebay

as they would make it more safe

ill cover the fees myself

[crimson sky]

mmh

beige

always looks good

[calm pulsar]

I don't have paypal or any supported cards 😦
honestly maybe it will be less hassle if you look on mechmarket lol

[tropic urchin]

+1 upvote for mechmarket

Keyboard hoarders where you’ll find most things

[wild hemlock]

whats link for i

t

[tropic urchin]

r/mechmarket on Reddit

[calm pulsar]

/r/mechmarket

[wild hemlock]

i cant find people selling used freebird60 cases

that isnt from america 😠

[winter moss]

guys

Tofu60 Redux with brass plate or Holy60

[ionic breach]

preference

[tropic urchin]

Time to move back /s

[kind helm]

TOFU60 all day after i heard holy60's sound test

[wild hemlock]

dont get holy60 its cancer

[kind helm]

now you say its cancer

nah

you loved it

[wild hemlock]

no

i was being cheap

should i get this case ? https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=844360268117&

[kind helm]

that looks fine, but i thought you are getting arcsyko's firebird

[winter moss]

bet

[wild hemlock]

nah he is from russia i dont want my shit seized with bombs

[winter moss]

the holy does look reaaally nice

[kind helm]

spacebar on holy60 sounds like ass cheek

[wild hemlock]

holy shit it sounds bad tho

[calm pulsar]

dw we're going to be part of the same country

jk jk

[wild hemlock]

hopefully

[quasi hinge]

Tofu

[tropic urchin]

No you’re more likely to get thrown out of a window or get some neurotoxin get it right

They have standards you know /s

[wild hemlock]

i hope they sneak some fentanyl in it

[tropic urchin]

That’s cartel work, also wrong country 🤣

[wild hemlock]

no?

[calm pulsar]

nah that's some american shit

[wild hemlock]

he lives close to asia

where they produce it

[tropic urchin]

Us Americans get it from Mexico who get it from China

[calm pulsar]

didnt know it was from china

[tropic urchin]

Russia ain’t China tho

[wild hemlock]

they probably still have some delicious fentanyl

[tropic urchin]

It’s produced there atleast

[calm pulsar]

is it on aliexpress? xd

[wild hemlock]

yeah

buy some oranges on ali express

[tropic urchin]

As someone that’s had it medically after getting my tonsil removed yall don’t want it 💀

[wild hemlock]

im a druggy dw

:3

[calm pulsar]

💀

[tropic urchin]

A pencil tip can send you into the eternal void, would not recommend

[wild hemlock]

well i was at Roskilde Festival

and i got drugged with ketamine

not that bad

[tropic urchin]

💀💀💀😭

That’s wild

[wild hemlock]

nah like its 70% of people who go there

that gets drugged

[wild hemlock]

well

give me your case

[tropic urchin]

My case?

[calm pulsar]

he might sell it and buy more fent

[tropic urchin]

Go to any American city and wind up in an ambulance 🤣

Latter is what happened to me anyway

[calm pulsar]

damn that would probably cost me my monthly salary

[stone flax]

why only two cases

[tropic urchin]

ER + ambulance + throat recauterization ftw

Luckily this was 6 years ago and not today

[calm pulsar]

damn that sounds rough

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I don’t recommend getting tonsillitis enough to get them removed

Worst pain so far

Easily cleared ankle surgery + recovery for me

[wild hemlock]

nah weed and alcohol

[tropic urchin]

@calm pulsar it’s making progress

[kind helm]

what you getting?

[tropic urchin]

God gamer switches

[calm pulsar]

2025 franken switch incoming

[tropic urchin]

https://kprepublic.com/a/amp/products/latenpow-deng-god-switch-linear-deng-shen-for-magnetic-keyboard-45g-for-looting-60-66-68-wooting-60he-similar-with-magnetic-jade

[kind helm]

ah

[tropic urchin]

For my 2025 Looting 80HE

[tropic urchin]

I should’ve just paid the $5-10 shipping 🤣

But that would’ve been same price as the switches

[calm pulsar]

I think my black knights are from kprepublic, but their ali store

arrived in like 2 weeks

[tropic urchin]

Hype

Maybe I’ll be blessed with my own Jade knights 👀

We’ll be the two autistic Jade enthusiasts 🤣

[kind helm]

raw stem, jade spring and bottom housing, then knight top housing

[calm pulsar]

yeah that's the recipe for mine

[sharp ocean]

So these sticky rice switches have been a bit problematic to get working right, I've been investigating and found that they struggle on the letter keys only, here is a video showcasing it.

Is there a way to fix it or can I calibrate my board in a deeper way?

[kind helm]

unplug then plug it back in

see if it still does that

[sharp ocean]

I already did that countless times

and yes I did wait the required times

[kind helm]

your case looks interest, how do you put the pcb in?

maybe the pressure is too uneven somehow

[sharp ocean]

I didn't even touch the PCB, on the Wooting Two HE, the top part with the switches comes off

[kind helm]

wait thats not wooting, i am braindead, lmao

dk maybe a calibration problem.

[sharp ocean]

wdym, I have a wooting two he

[kind helm]

oh yea forgot that exists. maybe a issue with sticky rice then

i have some sticky rice coming in next week

i will see if i have that too

[sharp ocean]

It's odd that it only happens on the letters though

It's like the sensor on the letters are different

[kind helm]

did you try reset/upgrading the driver for wooting

maybe that can solve the issue

[sharp ocean]

Yes I did

I will say though, when I had to put the top plate back on, I had to force quite a bit

because the little plastic nubs at the bottom of the switch are like

0.3mm higher

Maybe I should just cut off these little nubs?

Maybe my keyboard plate is dilating slightly in the middle and I don't even realize it

[kind helm]

not 100% sure but maybe you can dissemble it to see if its fitting properly

[sharp ocean]

causing the switch to be physically higher in the middle

where the letters are

[kind helm]

mayhbe there is foam at the bottom and some how its pushing it in a weird way

[sharp ocean]

The little nubs are longer on the sticky rice

I feel like it's pushing against the PCB too hard

Is it safe to cut those off?

[kind helm]

if you have a plate, yes

[sharp ocean]

Yeah the top plate holds it well

[kind helm]

the screws and the plate should keep things in place still, and the magenet is inside the switch so that doesn't affect the mechanic of this thing

[sharp ocean]

Alright fuck it we ball, I'll try it on a single switch first, see if it causes any problems for some reason

If that works I'll cut them all off

[kind helm]

i think you should try opening the case first

and see if you can remove something at the bottom to make it not do that

[sharp ocean]

I mean taking off the top plate is like opening the case

[kind helm]

before you start damaging shit

[sharp ocean]

Wooting Two HE opening is very different than 60HE

[kind helm]

you undo the screw the rest should fall out no, just based on this picture

[sharp ocean]

I mean it doesn't even fall out per say

the first three layers just come off

as its own thing

[kind helm]

i think you can try removing that "abs bottom case" (6 in the picture) first

and see if its still doing that

[sharp ocean]

You can't really do that

the top layers come off first

[kind helm]

yea you undo the screw, take out the top part, which is 1-5, then you just pull the foam out, then pull the top part back in

try to set if you can fit the switch in

[sharp ocean]

I mean I could but then no foam and therefore less thoccy

🥺

[kind helm]

you brought the wooting two he, i thought sound being ass is a given

[sharp ocean]

honestly with these sticky rice switches they sound nice

I'm just gonna cut the nubs off

[kind helm]

also since the thing sits so low, i think it doesn't have much hollowness, you should be fine without that piece of foam

but yea cutting the legs should work too

[sharp ocean]

Also I need my numpad man 🥺

[quasi hinge]

do you need an he numpad?

[kind helm]

i was gonna say then i thought about numpad's price is kinda nutty

[quasi hinge]

get a wooting 60 or 80 then get a macro or numpad

[quasi hinge]

depends on the numpad

[kind helm]

true i was more thinking of a numpad kit with a knob :3

[quasi hinge]

https://www.etsy.com/shop/KLAWOS

yeah this is pricier

[kind helm]

numpad price are straight up retarded imo, if i can find a 65% 3 mode gasket mount with 20 dollars, i should be able to find cheaper numpad below 50 dollars

[pseudo fulcrum]

what the best first mod for 60he+

[quasi hinge]

is there none on ali express etc]

[pseudo fulcrum]

i was thinking case but idk where to find them

[quasi hinge]

Geon Raw swtiches stabs and case

[kind helm]

haven't check there before, but i was searching for one on us site everything pretty much at least 100+

[pseudo fulcrum]

are they linear switches?

[kind helm]

what do you have right now

[quasi hinge]

ive seen cheaper ones on amazon but they are rough

[pseudo fulcrum]

stock

[quasi hinge]

They all are

[kind helm]

stock OG 60he?

[pseudo fulcrum]

60he+

[kind helm]

what switch are you using right now

[pseudo fulcrum]

the linear ones that came with it

[calm pulsar]

I'd say plate is a huge upgrade from steel

[pseudo fulcrum]

is it the geon raw HE switch hall effect?

[winter moss]

right?? idk what to chose but itll prolly be the tofu

[calm pulsar]

PC plate from wooting or others

[kind helm]

60he+ is the module no? i thought you had to pick which switch you want

[pseudo fulcrum]

what mat plate?

no i just got 60he+

and it came with linear switches

[calm pulsar]

module is module, current wooting is called 60he+

[kind helm]

mmm then i guess its the lekker v1

[winter moss]

hall effect switches

[pseudo fulcrum]

i think it is

[kind helm]

change your switch to lekker v2, raw he, or jade pro. get a tofu60 redux through aliexpress

[winter moss]

v1.5 id say, its a reworked v1 but still not a v2

[kind helm]

then get some oringe on amazon

[winter moss]

raw he + tofu is my rec

[pseudo fulcrum]

it has lekker L60 rn but should i just lube them?

or fully switch the switches

[kind helm]

lekker v2 is not the same as the v1's

[quasi hinge]

They are all HE switches

[kind helm]

the HE stands for Hall Effect

[quasi hinge]

60he+ will not work with non HE switches

[pseudo fulcrum]

oh

[winter moss]

yes but rhe standard 60HE+ arent v1s nor v2s they are less wobbly than v1s but still arent as good as v2s

[pseudo fulcrum]

would switching the stabs and just lubing the switches be the go?

[winter moss]

if u dont want to spend much money yes

[robust siren]

you dont have to replace the stabs

[kind helm]

since the switch you have currently is ass, lubing is not gonna do much

[winter moss]

its a cheap, somewhat easy mod why not

[winter moss]

the default lekkers in the 60he arent ass wym?

[robust siren]

just relube and balance the current ones, if youre using raws get spacers

[winter moss]

the really old v1s were ass, current preassembled keebs have a „v1.5“

[kind helm]

i dont know what you smoking but i need some

[stone flax]

compared to what

[pseudo fulcrum]

i dont think they are that bad, from the switches ive used in the past

id give them a solid 5

[stone flax]

what have u used in the past

[kind helm]

do you know if typeplus stab works with venom60he's plate? i heard its not compatible with wooting plate but someone said venom's plate is find

[stone flax]

ya

its fine

[calm pulsar]

venom plates work with everything

[kind helm]

ty sir :3

[stone flax]

;3

[pseudo fulcrum]

durock pom, milky yellows and aquakings

[wild hemlock]

Freebird on top

[pseudo fulcrum]

i wouldnt say the lekker l60's are at the durock of aks but id give them around the yellows in my opinion

[kind helm]

👀 stock yellow or lubed yellow

[pseudo fulcrum]

i 💦 lubed em myself

[left depot]

[wild hemlock]

Can I lube your bottom housing?

:3

[pseudo fulcrum]

what about the top

https://tenor.com/view/gavin-louser-walk-out-walking-away-realization-gif-16954717

[quasi hinge]

Obvious, juvenile and lame. No game

“Folks, we have an own goal”

[sharp ocean]

Alright I just fixed the sticky rice switch problem

it was indeed cause it wasn't flush with the PCB properly

I cut all of the little bottom prongs in all of the switches

cut myself in the process so this keyboard quite literally has my blood inside of it probably

but now it all works

[kind helm]

me personally still think that is more of a wooting two he problem rather than switch problem

i am buying them right now for those legs

[quasi hinge]

You are bonded by blood now

[sharp ocean]

I think that's more of a me problem

the little prongs are supposed to go thru the holes of the PCB

[kind helm]

+10 attack speed

[sharp ocean]

But I could never align it right

because i'm probably autistic

so fuck it we ball

no more prongs

[kind helm]

[sharp ocean]

the switch is held tighly in place by the top steel plate anyways

this is my first time ever entering the custom keyboard and modding world please be gentle

🥺

[pseudo fulcrum]

[sharp ocean]

😭

[sharp ocean]

at least now that I'm bonded by blood, I'll get to keep my wooting in hell

[quasi hinge]

Sorry bruh

All wootings go to heaven

[left depot]

[quasi hinge]

Hell has razer keyboards

[winter moss]

and steelseriee

[sharp ocean]

noooooooooooo

I literally just came from a Razer keyboard

[quasi hinge]

Not just their keyboards

When you arrive they give razer clothes in lame green

[pseudo fulcrum]

razor clothes

are tangerines still the hype?

or we moved on

[quasi hinge]

Then they force you to install their bloatware which takes 50% of resources

[kind helm]

and logitech keyboard with their keycaps that would break off in normal usage

[quasi hinge]

Then they dress you in razer e waste

E waste headphones

E waste mice

[kind helm]

razer has good mouse bungee though

[quasi hinge]

Not with their software

[kind helm]

not the rgb trash but the standard one

[pseudo fulcrum]

yerp

[winter moss]

i do enjoy the viper mini shape

but i hate the software so much i just bought a PMM viper min inspired shell and im currently making my Lamzu PCB fit in it

[quasi hinge]

Well you wont have trouble in hell haha

[kind helm]

the one feature for third party software because people need it

[quasi hinge]

Amazing

[winter moss]

fellow PMM, Lamzu, Zaunkoenig… enjoyers will hopefully all enter heaven

[quasi hinge]

I just choose not to reward companies with certain values or ones who treat their customers like moronic cattle

cough cough raz…. E….. r cough cough

[kind helm]

i remember their laptop was banger back in the day no?

[quasi hinge]

Not for me

[kind helm]

back when i still watch LTT

linus was rocking the razer laptop

[winter moss]

razer does have awesome customer support

atleast i havent had a single negative experience with them

had a broken VV3P Pcb and they still replaced it even tho i modded it

[quasi hinge]

They may have deals

They do a lot of promotions

[quasi hinge]

Probably what is saving them

[winter moss]

similar story for DAV3, mouse switches didnt work anymore and they just sent out another pcb lol

[quasi hinge]

Just that damn bloatware

[winter moss]

im sure thats literally the only thing keeping them alive, that ppl know youll get good support

also the mouse modding community is keeping them alive

[kind helm]

s44t, i shouldve asked them to replace my viper mini that just randomly broke in 3 months

[quasi hinge]

Good you recognize

[kind helm]

and refund the deathadder with the dog s44t wire

[quasi hinge]

I loved logitech

But now… ceo making some funny decisions

[winter moss]

sadly they do have very nice pcbs for modding and good wireless tech so i dont think therew will be cheaper alternatives for it in the close future

[robust siren]

subscription mouse

[quasi hinge]

Right

Like wth

[winter moss]

bro generally brand loyalty is a stupid concept especially in tech

[quasi hinge]

Except wooting

Hehe

[winter moss]

my friend loves steelseries and his whole setup is steelseries, he always tells me „but steelseries number 1 brand in esports!!“.. i gotta find new friends

[winter moss]

well tbh wooting doesnt even offer more than keyboards so brand loyalty doesnt really work on them

ill prolly buy another 60he+ or 80he when i need a keeb but thats just because their software, quality and (from my experience) support was awesome

[quasi hinge]

They offer fantastic support, best in class software or browserware

[winter moss]

or a EZ63? idk

[quasi hinge]

Its their software

[winter moss]

but it‘ll 100% be a 60HE module because theres nothing similar to that

[winter moss]

real

[quasi hinge]

Really and the essence of quality

Their pcbs

You can stick it in a tofu but at the end of the day, I want a wooting pcb

[winter moss]

exactly what im gonna do

[kind helm]

and that is why i am switching from wooting to venom

[quasi hinge]

Doing it for a buddy rn too

[winter moss]

tofu60 redux in red + wooting pcb + geon raws + pcbfans crosshair keycaps

[quasi hinge]

His old og 2 year old 60he will be re cased into a maroon tofu with new everything

[winter moss]

i was thinking about doing that aswell, but i currently dont see a reason to buy a new keyboard

[quasi hinge]

His is:

tofu60 redux in maroon+ wooting pcb + geon raws 50g + tx plate mount long pole stabs + og wooting white backlit keycaps

[robust siren]

me but black tofu

[winter moss]

u put me on to the crosshairs right

[robust siren]

someone else put me on, i liked them ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[kind helm]

i am just switching for an experiment i am trying

[robust siren]

i should make a #1070668460905988106 post sometime soon

mehhhh whatever

[kind helm]

btw i think if everything goes well, venom60he + fr4 & alu plate + foams is about the same price as wooting module, after shipping

so yea W wooting module pricing

[robust siren]

theres quite a few others here with tofus + crosshair keycaps

[quasi hinge]

Plus wooting pc plate!

[split dagger]

Dose anyone know a 75% keyboard case that comes with pcb

I wanna build a custom board

[kind helm]

every 75% kit would come with a pcb

[kind helm]

https://www.monsgeek.com/product/m1-v3/ think this is decent. but of course there are more options online, just something that come to mind

[split dagger]

What you guys think of these keycaps + case

Couldn’t really find keycaps that match the color of the case

[devout torrent]

everyone we must band together and RIOT #1301918238178938970 message

we need this clear 60he case

[uncut oxide]

thats fire

[devout torrent]

wow they archived the spooky builds minutes after posting this

@red cape pls post more pics now that spooky channel gone

[robust siren]

the what

[uncut oxide]

maybe also clear keycaps or thats gonna be a little bit to much

[jade star]

That looks so good holy

[uncut oxide]

gives xmas vibes too icl

[jade star]

Peeping the wooting uwu

[devout torrent]

this with the christmas rbg will be goated

[uncut oxide]

best part of the whole build

[devout torrent]

they archived the spooky build channel 😦 so link no work

[red cape]

Oh snap, it ded

[jade star]

Christmas Ruth Bader Ginsburg may she rip

[devout torrent]

my copy paste skills 2 fast

how much bribery for one clear 60he case pls

[uncut oxide]

so sad that wooting 80he doesnt have alot of custom cases yet

[devout torrent]

I attempted to start a riot for colored transparent wooting cases but no one wnats it 😦

[jade star]

The 80he is definitely an investment overtime for new cases

[robust siren]

theres an acrylic tofu.....

[uncut oxide]

couldnt u obtain it with epoxy ?

[jade star]

Use discord folders pls 😭😭

[red cape]

I have some folders, just all expanded 😈

[uncut oxide]

realll so easy to remove all the pings

[devout torrent]

I need this

[jade star]

Monster!!😭😭

[devout torrent]

acrylic tofu doesnt look as good

[red cape]

god damnit, next time I gotta hide my discord sidebar lmao

[devout torrent]

and pc klippe is so tall

[uncut oxide]

what material is that tho?

[tawdry tree]

it’s not from servers, but from dms

😭

[left depot]

Have fun with the notification and DM spam Simon now that you showed this

[red cape]

At least you know I'm not completely ignoring your DM 😅

[jade star]

Omg yeh top half is all dms

[left depot]

[uncut oxide]

no its alot of servers that has pings guessing from the red balls

[devout torrent]

will dm bribery for case

pls giv

[tawdry tree]

I agree

[robust siren]

right click the server and mark it as read obviosuly

[uncut oxide]

also for the 80he >:(

[jade star]

How easy is it to swap a case post install/modding

[tawdry tree]

Haha, I know you have better things to do. ❤️

[devout torrent]

frost case exists for 80he so its pretty close

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[robust siren]

10/10 easy, only need to take off a few keycaps, take out 5 screws and swap it over (60he+)

[red cape]

80HE has frost case, it's the same style 👀

[uncut oxide]

ehh u got a point there

[jade star]

I think when my white zinc voucher arrives I’m gonna order some pcr cases and try em out

[jade star]

Super easy :D ty

[robust siren]

theres a guide on wootings yt

[uncut oxide]

yea mb mb i saw that too( after i ordered then realized if i went with the module i couldve gotten off cheaper)

[red cape]

rip. I wish we'd do frost case as a prebuilt option

it's the GOAT of plastic 80HE case imo

[devout torrent]

I bought ghost prebuilt + Frost case

ez

[red cape]

big brain

[devout torrent]

now we just need colors

[uncut oxide]

yea i was looking for it when i was ordering then acepted my fate and went with the black one also fire tho

[devout torrent]

pls Simon

like this

[red cape]

[jade star]

That is fire

[red cape]

👀

[jade star]

Damn subnautica 2 keyboard

Those keycaps are stunning

Love the font

[red cape]

Yeah, I love these caps

Only issue is I went for Nordic set and I get thrown off sometimes by the symbol placements lol

[jade star]

Is it difficult to read in a dark room because they’re not shine through?

[red cape]

Not sure, I try not to be in a dark room 😅

[jade star]

Yeh I can’t see hashtag in my normal spot how can I tweet now😭

[red cape]

and they don't help me anyway lol

For me it was mainly the position of symbols that are on the Number keys + shift

Rest I have strong enough muscle memory for, but some of those I don't use super frequently

[jade star]

Also is that the frost case?

[red cape]

Not exactly 😛

[uncut oxide]

wishing i went for the frost one

[devout torrent]

more secret cases

[red cape]

It's an early full-ish* transparent sample I have 👀

[jade star]

WHAT

[devout torrent]

ok more reasons to riot

we NEED

[red cape]

😂

[jade star]

I’m joining the riot I need that case

If you said yes I was about to order that moment

[red cape]

Frost case is on the same level of nice

This one doesn't give you the frosty effect which spreads the rgb around

[jade star]

I also note you’re hiding your discord this time 😝

[devout torrent]

we need a clear 60he case

we a revised 8khz 60he pcb that has the sick underglow

[jade star]

Mmmm how many cases will I have to buy until I’m satisfied

[devout torrent]

all of them

[red cape]

I may or may not be fuelling this riot so I can put more pressure internally to get more transparent cases released 😈

[devout torrent]

brb emailing wooting to ask them to give you a raise

[robust siren]

#1 salesman

[tawdry tree]

could the frost case be dyed?

[unique jetty]

I’m sure but it def voids warranty

[red cape]

Like during production or after by yourself?

Either-way, no clue 😂

[tawdry tree]

after by yourself

it could be really sick

[unique jetty]

I don’t see why not, but it would most likely void warranty

[red cape]

Another lil pic from when I first made that frost 60HE build 👀

[red cape]

At least it would only be the warranty on the case

[unique jetty]

True

Didn’t think about it like that

[tawdry tree]

I want that

why does the 60HE only come in black

[red cape]

It's damn nice. Although it's noisey af atm without the bottom case foam + jades

[tawdry tree]

yeah

makes sense

you can replace it with some silicone

won’t be the same

but will be transparent

[red cape]

It fails the "not annoying my gf" test pretty bad 😂

[tawdry tree]

😂😂

[red cape]

That's an interesting idea

[devout torrent]

I really wanna try dying one tbh

[tawdry tree]

a rattle snake as a keyboaed

[devout torrent]

but I am afraid of melting it

since its abs

[tawdry tree]

gotta love it

[devout torrent]

maybe a lower temp + with synthetic dye

[tawdry tree]

I have no clue how the process would work but I think it would be possible

[unique jetty]

I’ve seen some cool spraypaints for cars that are gradient, that like look one color but reflect a different one while in light. There’s some cool stuff you could do with that if you’re dedicated

[devout torrent]

people have dyed abs before https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/5w8hil/i_successfully_dyed_abs_keycaps/

like here

but images have been gone for a logn time

[tawdry tree]

oh this could actually work really well

[devout torrent]

the biggest issue will be dipping the entire case somehow

or doing it like half and half

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[devout torrent]

but then colors might not be the same

[tawdry tree]

probably very difficult to get the colors the same

but could do different colors of course 😉

maybe there are shops that do this

professionally

[devout torrent]

might be easier to get the case files

and have it CNCd in PC

and dyed

but also expensive

[tawdry tree]

https://youtu.be/d272v6G28wQ?si=syhB8MUVlCFhHySF

doesn’t seem that difficult

[devout torrent]

this is not a good idea though

since it uses acetone

and acetone + abs = depolymerization

[tawdry tree]

ah

[devout torrent]

it works but it would def cuase some degree of melting

[tawdry tree]

I see

all the articles I find use acetone

🥴

[tawdry tree]

I’m worried how warping would be.

[crimson sky]

no matter how you do it you have always watch out for warping

you can do it with just water if you control the temperature VERY carefully

[tawdry tree]

could you do that in an oven?

[devout torrent]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/bo47r9/gergo_thumbstick_mod/enqq5nd/

this guy also seemed to have good results doing it

[tawdry tree]

I don’t think I got anything else where the case would fit in

[devout torrent]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/bdmdbi/dyeing_abs_keycaps_with_idye_poly/enqqfhs/

idye poly

kept temps at 75c max

and no more than 30s at a time

[tawdry tree]

keycaps are a lot smaller than the case though

[devout torrent]

yeah

thats the biggest problem

[tawdry tree]

so keycaps might not warp at 75c whereas the case would

I guess someone has to try

[devout torrent]

I'm tempted to try on the frost case but I also don't have a way to dip the entire thing

and I don't wanna ruin one

would prob have to buy a few

[tawdry tree]

I think I have a baking dish big enough to fit the case

baking dish, fill with hot water and into the oven at 70c?

until it’s at temperature

could work maybe?! 😅

[devout torrent]

I think more important thing is water

so once water is at 70c

then try to dip for <30s

[tawdry tree]

yeah I’m thinking too complex for no reason

lemme see

[devout torrent]

seems like a lot of people use acentone to do the dying on abs too

but that seems like it would absolutely cause some degree of melting

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[devout torrent]

which I guess it what helps w/ the color

[tawdry tree]

oh that makes sense

it’d probably be bad for the clips though

how the top part mount to the bottom

[stray tiger]

@calm pulsar the correct plate came in today for the Midway60 HE build. Going to give it a shot today or this weekend

@harsh dove I miss you buddy

[crimson sky]

Don't think they got enough control in that temperature range

[harsh dove]

Just been lurking recently

[red cape]

Can confirm that my discord sidebar no longer has a scroll bar 😎

[tawdry tree]

yeah, not gonna use an oven

@devout torrent I’ll try with red and crimson dye

black is out of stock, I kinda wanted to see how that would look as well but whatever

[polar girder]

Much excite

[devout torrent]

Wouldn’t black just make it similar to ghost?

But lmk how it turns out I’m gonna try it eventually as well

[tawdry tree]

yeah that’s what I wanted to see

should arrive next week

[prime orbit]

Tx ap or knight stabs

[untold wigeon]

What are the top 3 switches that people use for wooting boards other than the stock Lekker's

[devout torrent]

jades or raws

[quasi hinge]

Raws

[devout torrent]

raws clear for sure was just replying to guy above

[untold wigeon]

Sick

Thanks guys

[tropic urchin]

Ye Jade pros or RAWs don’t let the Maxes fool you and I’d also avoid gaming bc of the box stem, but not a fan of those stems

[wise root]

Jade Pros are pretty goated

[exotic inlet]

Raws are the superior choice. Glory to Geon and all he touches

[hollow bear]

knob when btw

[wild hemlock]

wake up keyboard modders

[knotty iron]

based

i bought 180x jade maxes and they sucked to use 💀

[tropic urchin]

the PC stem is tragic

If you dont use anything else you can get away with it, but once you get something to benchmark it against, you're cooked

its a shame the maxes arent bare minimum comparable to the pros

[knotty iron]

donyou think it would have been fine if the jade maxes had a pom stem?

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I do

[knotty iron]

and thats all that was changed

besides making it sit a little better inside the plate

[tropic urchin]

maybe not for the dual rail component, but the pom stem of the RAWs is just so smooth

i also dunno why the dual rail is so pushed only by gateron

[knotty iron]

Raw HE switches are so perfect

[tropic urchin]

wtf does it do

and why does nobody else care about it xD

[knotty iron]

marketing nonsense

for the dual rail

[tropic urchin]

it seems like it only exists to upset keyboard ppl

for the dual purpose ^

[knotty iron]

its literally more surface area contact

which means more friction WTF

[tropic urchin]

Im gonna make a frankenswitch pretty soon once my God switches arrives

[knotty iron]

what are those

[tropic urchin]

same materials as the jade pros with raw stem 👀

[tropic urchin]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

they're suspiciously cheap, but have the same bottom/upper materials as the pros so im hoping I can create an ultra hybrid

[knotty iron]

part of me wants to think whoever wrote very positive things about the maxes were probably either coping or in the honeymoon phase

[tropic urchin]

they're the Lekkers of the Jade lineup

can be kinda mushy and stock lube isnt very good

[knotty iron]

both the Lekker v2s and Raw HE switches are by gg right

[tropic urchin]

gg?

[chilly mural]

umu, switches talk, it'll be nice if 80he arrive and I can feel those in a rhythm game setting

[knotty iron]

gold grain or grain gold from what people have been saying

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/s/M7XZpkvi4g

How would one go about creating something like this, just with Lekker Switches? I like the beige, office - utilitarian look of the Model M. 🙂 I don't think I would use an original one but a replica shell, though I don't know of any.

[fluid ravine]

Mr. CAM where ya been
Everyone miss you

Esp me

[quasi fjord]

anybody know how do i make the stab work on a new 60he+ module? It looks like i have to take the pcb off

[crimson sky]

[devout torrent]

wdym make stab work

[chilly mural]

Anything is possible if you try hard enough. I think getting 2he, and slap in the case with a fuck ton of modification can work

[calm pulsar]

that would be one of the highest end HE builds, excited

[calm pulsar]

@stray tiger btw I hope it would work or you have it confirmed working
cause I preordered Luminkey LX60 and learned recently, that Venom won't work with it in the gummy oring mount, as checked by Geon's team 😦

[chilly nymph]

I'd want to try but I wouldn't know where to begin. I don't know where I'd get a case to begin with. At least one with good quality. I'm not sure 3D printing would give good results, but then again, I have no experience with either.

[chilly nymph]

I didn't intend to curse you with such sacrilege. I will not harm any Model M. I just want keys and cases that look like the old shades of beige stuff but with the great wooting lekker switches. 🙂

[crimson sky]

oh, you won't be able to do that with a wooting

since it has a bent PCB and plate

[tiny summit]

Has any salvation owner found a way to refuse your poron pads without destroying them, is there a possible non damaging way you remove them, or is it simply not possible?

[untold wigeon]

i bought maxes because they looked cool

why did they suck

[tropic urchin]

They’re alright if you don’t compare them to any other switches, but they’re kinda scratchy from the PC on PC contact and their smoothness isn’t what it should be given their price

[untold wigeon]

you can lube them right

then the scratchyness goes away

[tropic urchin]

I thought they’d be similar or comparable to the pros but after getting the RAWs they’re kinda disappointing

[calm pulsar]

they are lubed from factory, with the scratchiness still present

not scratchiness, more like stickiness

[tropic urchin]

You can lube them which helps but if you overlube they’re kinda sticky and some other ppl have them sticky stock

Not great QC

[untold wigeon]

well i already ordered

[tropic urchin]

Their springs are nice tho but that’s all I can say that are nice 🤣

[untold wigeon]

i just liked how it look

thats why i ordered

xd

[tropic urchin]

I did too

[untold wigeon]

it was expensive
