i was trying out burger mount, huge mistake, huge pain in my a33
damaged the standoffs a little bit when i was trying to push the screw through the oring at the bottom
and i was afarid of damaging the pcb when i was pushing the screw down
janky a33 bs

hahah
thank you bro! placed an order on thed brass weight, will install later next week - a bit hard with the o-ring as the retailer in sweden does not have those in stock
don't really want to pay $4 for the o-ring and $ 15 for shipping 😄
yee i think the vendors for those options are all us based
aaaand maybe I will ruin a pillow for the sake of science tomorrow
would this be cheaper for you?
i just searched for "Bakeneko60 eu" and found a uk site
thx, but no unfortunatelly...$ 20 for shipping
unfortunate
mm
anybody have any favorite switches theyre using on their wooting other than lekkers?
raw he or jade pro
Artisan ones are really good
do you have a link, i am actually hoping to try different one
As much as the website looks dodgy, they are really cheap via their website than any retailer honestly
Though the delivery takes time it seems
wait you are talking about the mousepad?
anyone tried the tempest mode but with electrical tape?
Can you tag me with the link for this?
Would not recommend
Potentially leaves residue on PCB
what's that
raw he
Got them RAW He switches today and dang they amazing
Can anyone recommend me a aluminum 65% black kit with pcb and stabilizers
Preferably under 160$
For artisans
if i take my wooting to a computer shop can they fix my usb c slot
bakaneko?\
neo65
done
can vouch i have one and its amazing
Guys i have a question
I need grease or lube for stabilizers
Wootings lube goes for like 30 bux or can i get smth from like temu for 5 and works similar?
???
no
raws
no
no
u dont even need to spend 30 for krytox
just find a vendor or smth if its a bother
but dont cop random temu lube thinking it wont be shit
????
if a stab doesnt need lube or tune-up whatsoever itll be remarked as such
can be usable without lube and should be used without are very different things
Wooting should make custom straps for the 60he with many different colors and I would personally buy one if it was a white strap with red writing
Ali express has some.
how does this sound?
Beautiful! What setup?
thank you :) geon raw he, blade60, sa keycaps
thats about it
oh shi i thought you had a 80he
it sounded like a 80he for a moment
1st gen wooting 60he
Pc plate with poron foam insert?
no, stock plate
Jeez u can get that sound with a steel plate
mhm its the sa keycaps
Brb getting myself one 
as long as you have a wrist rest, the height isnt bad
Guys i ordered my wooting module and im gonna mod my first ever keyboard but i want it maximized modded what can i get to mod and fix better noise etc already got a plan to tape mod, add own stabilizers and i got my own switches is there anything else i can get to improve it smth like foam thingy or anything else
80he) that is^
I think there is not much space to mod an 80he bc wooting has done so much.
would you say it's worth replacing 60he Lekker switches for Gateron Jade?
Also, any slick keycaps you can think of to pair with magenta mouse and white/RGB PC build? My setup is a bit too black, including the desk and decided to liven it up a little with a white PC build (once 9800x3D arrives, hopefully still this year)
if what you have is the OG 60he, you should replace it with raw he or jade pro. the original jade that is on wooting's website is pretty bad for what you can get right now.

Not sure if it's OG or not, ordered last Nov
around the same time as me then, i think its the og one
definitely worth the upgrade if you care about sound or feel
also the newer one i think says 60he+ instead
@kind helm - did you have a recording of your o-ring friction mount?
@tulip rapids which scraft did you grab 
#🔧│keyboard_modding message at least 2 out of 3 of these were friction mount. the middle one not sure if it was burger mount of friction mount.
i think the idea with this method is like 1. the force that keeps the keyboard in place is applied more evenly compare to tray burger mount, that would make the sound more even, because the side that is tighter/more stable, would create a higher pitch sound. 2. the pcb is not screwed into the plate, so the vibration causes by the key stroke does not go to the case directly, making it sound less "harsh".
Adding a piece of foam tape to the screw holes(maybe drop a layer of painter's tape first, if you want to be able to remove the foam tape more easily later on, because at least for the one i am using, the adhesive seems to be pretty tough), that would let pcb sit on top of the foam instead of the standoffs, making the sound even less "harsh".
The way i set up mine right now is basically 1. do the foam tape on the screw holes to lessen the harsh sound of pcb hitting the standoffs of the case. 2. put a brass weight to remove hollowness instead of using foam which filters out sound. brass weight just decreases resonance and lower the overall frequency. 3. use oring friction mount to ensure even force. I think this is a solid base for tofu60 modding, it solves everything that i consider as annoying without removing the original characteristic of the switches. Then you pop whatever foam you want in there on top to tweak the sound.
(wrote this while high, not a mechanical engineer, maybe wrong or sound incoherent :D)
guys question
has anyone tried to refund from ali express before
Is that ok to had killmat in my 80HE ? everething will fit ? (already have tape mod )
Tape mod and kilmat kind of opposite purpose mods
But if they both fit, should be fine
I use kilmat in my 60HE build
Same
I finally fully attached it to my frog lol
Def sounds better
Still never tried PP vs Nylon vs Alu plates tho
nylon plate?
yall really have me considering the geon raws
Isn’t the top of the kilmat conductive?
Yeah
isn't nylon some sort of fabric
PC, POM, PP, Nylon. All just plastics
Yeah you can do anything with plastic
Make soft fleece, make fake leather, make hard helmets
200 years from now this will definitely be known as the Plastic Age
anyone know if the Neo75 will be mass produced, i.e be an in-stock product, or is the only way to get hold of it by buying it in the pre-order phase?
in stock
ty
Anyone know if the neo65 comes with stabilizers
https://www.qwertykeys.com/products/neo65-1?variant=43882014900467
Update: New colors added - Babyblue, Grey, Champagne, and Chestnut for the case; Mirror Black and Mirror Silver for the weight. Anodized colors: Silver, Purple, Green, Red, Navy, Black, Babyblue, Grey, Champagne, ChestnutE-coated colors: White, Milkywhite, Yellow Regional Vendor Please note that they may not follow the
yes
but its technically a gift
so if they accidentally did not add it in ur package, they wont send u another
Crap alright
Just hope they add it then
Worse comes to worse I have to buy stabilizer which I have no idea which ones I need bc this is my first build
holy neo65 is only 100?
ya
neos are great for a reason
Yea I was looking around and most ppl recommended it
thought would be similar to qk series which is 150-200 i think
Im so excited for my first build I already have the switches and keycaps ordered and I’m going to order the neo65 soon
I got HMX Butter Linear Switches and Drop DCX White on Black keycaps
all I care about is HE scene tho
Also improving but long way to go
Perfect size for 60HE (needs some trim but yeah)
what is your setup right now :3
i checked out a few sound file you had here and i kinda dig it
Finally set it back up after a few years.
What kind of plate do you guys think I should get if im using hmx butter linear switches bc idk
Pom
Ok thanks
it is personal preference
Well I want thock so prob either the pom or pc
i think possibly other than steel. everything else can sound very good
imo pom, pc, alu and cf are nice
Oh yea I forgot about that channel
butter
steel and fr4 is just not ideal
y not keykobo
Idk what those are
kinda like weed, all sorts of weird a33 names
brand/manu of keycaps
dcx kerning in particular sets is really wack
It dose look like a little butter cube lol
hey i have a question for u guys is there any difference between Gateron Jade Switch and any Lekker switch apart from sound?
Oh well idk its really just what I found first
just get keykobo if u can
To late already ordered
id genuinely pay for 10 dollar aifei v2 molds than dcx wob any day of the week
wtv then
Travel distance
weights, bottom out feel, housing tolerances, wobble, closed bottom v open, rail bottom out vs pole, 3.4 vs 4.1mm travel
oh yea i know that its 3,5 vs 4
Yea thats all I know loll
cam u know how long till antagonist opens for gb?
If you’re wondering if it’ll affect performance, then no, they both work about the same with the Jades just having shorter travel.
I think after the Protags are delivered
after or before sonoma?
Before
Can someone tell me what o ring mounting does in simple and basic terms
Yeah iirc it’s, Protagonist > Antagonist > Sonoma
Lemme double check
Okay other way around, Protagonist > Sonoma > then Antagonist
gummy o-ring mounting or burger?
Using a long o-ring around the plate and pcb allows you to press the whole assembly into the case and hold it with friction is what the first one is
welp time to strap in then
Do be like that in the custom keyboard world 
Frog mini, kilmat case, PP plate with softest (50a I think) tadpoles), plate foam, hella oiled dual stage 35g springs in stock oiled black knights with PBS BoB keycaps and Wired In custom 8 core cable lol
Most my sound tests are with SA profile keycaps tho I think
And stock stabs lubed and half way greased
custom 8 core cable 0.0 ?
Need to swap in my SW knights
stabilizer sound test
nah chad for using stock stab
ask for a sound test of stabs
didn't even notice those are sa, looks flat from the top
those arent
ok i am not crazy just yet
pbs profile
i hate sa :3 tried a set off amazon, and i kept hitting other keys when i was trying to move my fingers when typing
now i get why its muted, the kilmat, suppirisingly it is not very low pitch because of that
Those aren’t lol
They’re PBS
I said my sound tests are from SA
now i wanna get some kilmat again, had some before i moved for the keyboard i carry around for work
the tofu60 i am using sounds a bit loud for my taste
dual stage spring? from ali?
0.0!
Got a 60HE from a local for $130 a couple of weeks ago. Anything else I'm missing? The foam in the board is a bit flat compared to what I've seen in others, so I might get kilmat unless there's a better option.
Yeah
They’re alright
I liked them the best against BK stock, Lekker 35 spring and those
i wanted to get those but my favorite russian man arcskyo said they are no good
lol they’re decent
but i guess he was comparing it against jade pro which is pretty good spring
fck i gonna spend 80 dollars on switch again...
Yeah I mean I’d say its those dual stage ones, pingless and jade pro springs
The dual stage aren’t best sound but feel great
neo lavander bottom with raw he tom and double stage spring
hella oiled

does it ping like crazy or wat
i dislike the pingless due to how short there are, i want the jade pro ones but i am not rich enough to get them just for the spring
nyo
it looks right until u stare it a little longer

can't be accurate i think since every factory may make it slightly differently, then you have different size and stuff to consider. but the ranking should be the same
for different boards & plate
nuhuh
Yeah idk if o would love or hate the pingless in an open bottom switch lol
YES EDUCATE ME
Like 35 drops for the bag lol
idk science aspect of it but even qualitatively theres so much aspects surrounding just material that in real use these rankings are shot in terms of determining sound
:<
were you able to remove the ping after you done or it still kinda sucky
i think that chart just describes like one aspect of it
but its really dumb to take that chart for sound
miaking the swtich from jade maxes to raw HEs was well worth it
nah i think he cool. i think if he got open bottom lubed it would sdound like a33 cheek
because that happened to me

black knights -_-
true
it is infact open bottom
isn't black kngith open
for a tofu 60 is there different kinds of foam a person can apply? just curious
oh wait i am dumb ass, i guess the knight's open bottom is different from the one raw has
raw's bottom with the little tube thingy is kinda special right
its fine still just wipe the pcb :V
Yeah my PCB not dry
But it’s not every switch that gets some oil on it.
It’s very minimal
My springs don’t have much ping really
Just not that clean of a sound
nothing 35 more drops cant fix
I mean idk
I’m like half deaf
I don’t notice any ping
Just not trying to claim they’re pingless lol
i havent used a membrane keyboard in so long, they do be quiet af compare to mechanical... I kinda feel cringe for carrying around my silent box brown suddenly 
edit: for context i just was using a membrane keyboard to setup stuff for work and had a thought 
why not just submerge them overnight 🤣
where my turkey at
here
LMAO
ohh shit i forgot
is it still available?
Yes yes right now 
guys can i do the tape mod on top of the 80he film?
or do i have to remove it
it's cool i don't wanna remove it😔
Hey @someone_with_access: The case compatibility list contains this entry: https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/GH60-Anodizing-Aluminum-CNC-188f891fdf7044a9b1a6a531ff5b73d9 , but the second comment is wrong; the linked case looks more like a Tofu60. But I found this offer: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005001723219665.html instead, which seems to be 8$ cheaper currently, even though its not the "official" YMDK AliExpress store (which is linked in the entry itself). Also, I just (while writing this) found their website on which they also sell the case: https://ymdkey.com/products/gh60-aluminum-case-60-poker2-pok3r-faceu-60-yd60mq-qmk-pcb-gk61-gk64 . Maybe it would be nice to link there directly, in order to support them a bit more by cutting the AliExpress fees 😊
the pet film on the back of the pcb already acts as a sort of tape mod
we need MORE TAPE
whats wrong with the current sound
is the end goal here a keyboard that doesnt produce sound
🔫
Tape is anti thock lol
coin mod?
how
add weight -> lower overall frequency of the board
you can even use your tape for it 😄
:<
<:3
I was wondering if you would just use your leftover cash money in there like a piggy bank xD
i lowkey wouldve add more weight to tofu if i have coins. haven't used cash in idk how long
ima go buy the spacebar
what did you get?
i will have to go get some of those
the euro cents are bigger
if you do that please @ me for the sound test. would love to hear the before and after
better spend those coins on a good case lol
think bro is doing 80he. L design with L case only
unfortunately
@muted sapphire which case you have/getting
plastic, alu, or zinc
i just checked zinc is pretty heavy
I mean I think 80he's cases don't really need additional weight
if its alu or plastic then i think weight would help
from my very limited understanding, alu case is just a whole piece of alu no brass weight or whatever there
wait nvm they dont even have alu option
just plastic or zinc
🤡 i am a clown
whay
yea i think the zinc version is heavy enough but for the plastic one probably not
Tape is like clapping
Makes louder the noise
Like sound waves reflect off of it. It doesn’t absorb anything
silly question but if i want to remove preexistent lube from a wire for a stab will power towel be enough or should i use 99% Isopropyl Alcohol ?
i just use paper towel
I bathe my switch parts in soapy water and then wipe them
i just think that since i am putting the lube back on there, it doesn't need to be perfectly clean. but i am a dumbass, no one should follow me

yeah, which is why I think tape mod fucking sucks
but its poppy
no I mean that's valid
I just do it cause I also mess a lot with switch part and they get dusty
i think for switch you need to be extra careful so you don't accidentally leave like small strings of fabric in there. but for stab, especially wire. i think its hard to fck up. unless you use like different types of lube and somehow they mix together and turn into some voodoo mental corrupting s44t
wow
I think it does get mixed in the stabs, but it's not an issue
did i say something stupid again
Is that soul knight
yesh
I haven’t played that game in ages holy sheet
me neither but i needed a new picture
poser
:<
I quitted after realising I can do the kameyourmama with airbender
i dont think its a issue either in case my wording was pointing toward that direction. but i am no chemist so i can't say for sure
as long as thicker lube stays near the metal wire its fine
idek which that one is when i quit my fav were alchemist and assasin
Tried the silicone sandwich pad for a few weeks not my thing I liked foam waaay better
for how long
like 30 mins, with some stirring every 10 minutes
but again if your switches are relatively new it's likely fine to just wipe the lube off
actually not sure why you're even lubing your raws, they should be fine stock, just lube the springs and that's it
im lubing the wire for the stabs because for reason some of the stabs have rattle sound to it and then when i press the keycap down on one side i feel it sticking a bit
wait how does switch rattle
but after i open them up if i see theyre fine i'll just lube the springs
forgive me for being new into the modding community
Bc they do
but some of the switches sound different compared to the other switches
is it just me or does my wooting sound so much thockier on one side than the other side
(im comparing with my geon raws i have installed into my kb)
obviously
or maybe the term im looking for is ping sounding
nature of traymount
ping is from spring, yee lube the spring you cool
how though, it got no wire to tick around in there
but the main issue i have is the stabs sounding weird when they didnt sound like that at first
so theyre getting fresh lube
not the same type or rattle, maybe more apt of a descriptor is chatter from bad tolerances, in mx theres further possibilities in the inclusion of a leaf
damn I hope I don't have to lube my hmx switches
just think if it as rattly noise from wobble, same exact rattle from a stab wire flying around the housings
i'll upload a video tomorrow explaining my issue. Im not home rn. (showing why the stabs sound weird)
Whatd u get
yeah i got the wooting kit from their website
geon extreme gaming, which are made by hmx, but also thinking of some cherry mx, and other hmx switches
ic
ya
it came with lube, deilectric grease, switch puller, two pain brushers and something else. I was buying their pc plate from their so i decided to get the lube kit as well
yeah love me free shipping
ah btw is the chatter coming from the the wobble essentially? because i remember thockson had this switch tape thing where he improved the tightness of the top housing and made the lekker v1 sounded clearer.
ya
typeplus or stabies
Hi i don't know where to ask this but is the 60he getting 8khz in the near future?

Of the hmx switches I’ve gotten, they have good factory lube tbh
that's good
I've also seen in reviews, that they even have lubed springs
should be a common practice for HE since the springs are louder on HE switches
Any idea when?
who said 60% hall effect 8khz

im waiting for a wooting 60he 8khz too
Well you might be waiting a while 
which ones have u gotten
geon keeps me occupied in the meantime🙏
I keep my 80he at 1k anyway 
Canglan, xinhai, macchiato
for a keyboard I think 8k isnt that bad, but for a mouse I would intentionally use 1k or 2k
in terms of CPU usage I mean ^
are they long pole? im thinking of getting geon's extreme gaming mx which is made my hmx and I believe they are very very long pole lol, 3mm travel
I wonder if it's too short
almost all are
like literally
i think theres one or two non-lp hmx
Yeah except the macchiatos
Maccis are 4mm
ic ic
love me some long pole
gets boring
for full travel I might just get a tactile switch
just tried both mod on my 80he , can't fit anything else in it ahah , i had to screw everything back for everything to fit nicely
does it sound thocky and creamy
sound test time
ye the case is clean
but imo waiting more on owlabs now that I've seen theirs
what's the post abt
oh the owlab case colab?
still waiting on the optimum for the sake of it lmfao
Not me literally having a Tofu60 arriving on Tuesday and they finally post about the Optimum case 🥲
i mean it's been months
still waiting on it :/
just curious on how it will turn out
the optimum case
I know. I mean, I'll probably still get it when it drops. That is, assuming you can buy just the case and they don't make it an exclusive full build with the HE+ module and Optimum keycaps
endgame gear op1 8k >
i got a 14700kf tho
I can run it too on 7800x3d, but don't want to use extra cpu just for an extra ms
I use it because 1k polling doesn't line up well with 360 hz
yeah with even higher refresh monitor it makes sense
I have a 165 panel
want to upgrade to an oled soon, just need to figure out whether it's worth it with the glare
For sure worth it, and glare issue is overblown
yeah I think so too, but my lightning in the room is also kinda bad, so it might be more of a problem for me 😄
half the games I play lag if I play using it above 2k

hardware issue
i have a 78003d and 4080 super though
i think its the games
what games
I mean needing a beefy cpu just for 8k is not worth it xd
well eventually every cpu is gonna have no problem with 8k anyway how is it not worth it lmao
i dont remember at this point since I just set it to 2k so i don't have to worry
depending on the game it hurts cpu performance for literal 0.875 ms of advantage
but kovaaks pretty much lags no matter what i do unless I have 1k
idk i only play like osu valorant and overwatch sometimes, i don't get problems on any of those
yeah these ones should be totally fine
in tarkov im sure it will hurt bad even on 7800x3d 4080
I guess if the gpu is beefy enough it might alleviate the fps/input lag difference
but other than that, the mouse registration happens through cpu, at least I think so
also i noticed different mouse sometimes like stutter mouse, like razers 8k is pretty perfect ngl while lamzus is kinda bad
yeah probably also depends on how well the mouse firmware or dongle can handle 8k
Whats owlabs
Sauce me a pic
I wonder what angle the optimum case is
The only thing I dislike about owlabs is they always do 7 degrees
It’s one of the reasons I like mode actually. They do low angles on their cases
Vheck ur hardware
Accel
Turn it off
Its a alumaxe degree
Alumaze*
They alrdy said in the podcast that its going to be similar to the alumaze
Or the stream
7 degree cases are rlly not that bad esp if u got heavy switches for my case ig
If you go for the new QD OLED, they’re semi glossy (should be ok for glare), OLED is so worth it 
they said price wise though. I don't recall them saying alumaze degree
might be though since wooting prefers lower angles, unless optimum specifically requested something different
Klippe T supremacy
I remember they said so during the leaks on the 2nd stream
If im not wrong
They said theyre doing something cool with the optimum and said the pricing but the design will be diff
To my guess is that its something similar to the 461E
It is
glossy oled in the dark is the best
same cpu running val with 8k pooling rate, but i guess tarkov is a much better looking game that needs more juice
Oh hey. the store returned back to me. my ttc uranus batch will ship tomorrow. yay me.
anything above 2k polling will be so insignificant it wont even matter, however if u feel can run 8k and u feel better on it then dont change it, whether its placebo or it works for u dont think abt it too much just use it
even 2k is debatable, depending on your settings
@calm pulsar LEGGERA & PESANTE, AEboard EC switch, Tools GEON is streaming
what is that!
zinc (black)
ugh
Weird thing is for my 80HE 10 minutes+ upon plugging it in, it still feels slower than my 60HE+, but when I turn on tachyon, use it for a minute, feels way snappier, then I disable it after 5 minutes, it still feels as fast as with tachyon still enabled.
My RGB settings are 70% global brightness, Blue Spectrum 4.0s, Rapid Trigger Display.
Clearly the hardware is not the issue but some performance things need to be ironed out on initial powerup
it seems like u just have to get used to how different the keyboard itself feels.
it is said that the 80he is better in terms of typing feel and just general use would feel better than the 60he (i have 60he and i can confirm it does feel a bit eh sometimes but i bought it for its performance so its a non issue to me)
the 80he is definitely faster than the 60he but not by alot, and most people will not be able to feel a difference in terms of speed. the difference most people are describing is that the 80he just feels different, which is why i said its probably just because you have to get used to it :)
I made a magnetic switch tester with an unused keyboard!
GEON Raw HE Switch - 50gf
Considered the best switch for gaming? (FPS games)
no disrepect on the effort, but doesn't different location affect the sound? especially with the way plate is mounted to the pcb
there is close to no performance difference between different switches.
Yeah I understand, but feeling/smoothness/wobbel etc will change with the Raw's
yea but that is not GAMING, that is just... keyboard...
like in terms of latency there is close to no difference. but of course some switches are more enjoyable to use than others
True, but the feeling of rapid key presses is impacted by it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKID0ORh1xk this kids mic is overly eq'ed but skip a bit in the video and u can find a ton of different switches tested (including the GEON Raw HE)
Hey everyone! Since the Wooting 80HE is finally in people's hands, I thought it would be helpful to showcase a sound test of some of the most popular Hall Effect switches so you can find the perfect match for your preferred sound and feel!
In this video, we’ll be testing:
Lekker Switches (V2)
Black Knight Switches
TTC King of Magnetic Switch
G...
Thäks, will have a look
:)
stop saying stuff
no u wont climb from bronze to silver by switching from lekkers to raws
😭
the “rApId kEyPreSseS” aint doing shit
he just wants the best switch bro
best switch for gaming is a senseless question
salty mj? want the best switches for the best keyboard?
about as substantive as best switch for typing
uhhuh
therein lies the fault
like why not get the optimal switches?
switches are preference
lmfao
whats best for you isnt best for me nor best for three
ofc, but some are better than lekkers?
in terms of what
feeling
elaborate
preference based on whats good and whats bad, i spoke to alot of ppl in here a few weeks ago and we had a laugh abt wooting's first versions of the lekker60's
lekkers arent horrible but in terms of custom keyboards theyre definitely not the best out there (duh, theyre stock)
whats ur preference in terms of
pole vs rail bottom out
travel distance
open vs closed bottom
rails design
yes, why I am asking for alterantives
lmk
smoother & less wobble
in my opinion id say Jade Pro's are the very best ones out there right now
but theyre expensive
add switch tape to lekkers and lube them
done deal
answer pls
so if u dont care abt the sound profile (as much as i do) then the GEON Raw HE and Black Knight arent bad options either, especially for their prices
might aswell get new switches than trying to fix something subpar
ur still gonna have to more likely than not tune stuff like black knights even if u want a similar switch
springs on them are oiled up
I am aware that the sound can change depending on the position of the switch.
It's for magnetic switch beginners😉
👀 you count the time you need to do that, let's say you are doing a minimal wage job. 15 usd per hr. that takes lets say you are skillful, 4hrs. thats 60 usd. at that point get raw or jade pro. i'd say, unless you really want lekker's sound after its improved
new switches will make your keyboard feel new, but if u havent done the simple mods i would suggest u do them when u get the new switches :)
i really want the jade max but ive heard many issues with wobbling and just overall inconsistencies so thats a bummer, but if they fix that then ill definitely be suggesting those, as they sound great to me and they allow for a shit ton of RGB pass through
its not consistency problems
its consistently bad
LOL
have u seen the rgb pass through on them tho? its insane how thats all just from the switch being used
fugly
im not a big rgb guy but it looks satisfying asf when u look at the other switches pass through

Lekker Switches (V2)
Black Knight Switches
TTC King of Magnetic Switch
G...
jade pros still make me hard everytime 😢
👀 btw isn't stock 80he stuffed with foam? doesn't that filter out the characteristic of the switches?
shorter bottom out
less wobble
less friction (smoothness)
what I would like
Why I am asking if the Geon Raw HE will be the best on the market for this, dont care about sound etc - just want the optimal performance switch
you don't care about sound or whatever just use lekker then
i dont know much about boards to be completely honest but i could imagine ur right, it depends on the amount of foam tho. but either way u can (or i can) tell a massive difference between the switches being tested in the video
true da
dont really like the feeling of the lekkers - but Geon Raw HE will not be that much better?
every HE switch will have pretty much same (gaming) performance but its about how they feel that makes them very different, and i'd suggest u get something that u like the sound of aswell as have heard good things about (such as the GEON Raw HE, cheap, reliable and good rep for what they are)
in terms of latency for GAMING, nope
think hes talking abt the switch feel, and for that, yeah they will feel much better than lekkers
So Jade's and Raw's are the "best" options than
jade pro
over time u can get tired of hollow sounding keyboards (like i did) and thats gonna make u wanna upgrade stuff and customize to ur own liking
as josh said its very important that u get the jade pros and not the stock ones
noted.
Closed back headphones, so that's why sound is not an issue - only the feeling of the switches
the sound is also gonna pass thru the feeling
then jade pro would be better than raw in my opinion
very true ^
longer spring on jade pro -> snappy return
jade pros are known for being the most liked by majority of reviewers and enthusiasts
ok great, i'll take a closer look at them
I have a batch of ttc uranus esports and ttc POM magnetics coming in.
will compare to geon
60he+ / PC / tofu60 redux / silicone and foam
nice
rocking Raw's now @fallen echo ?
yeah
general question, do people not tend to do the tape mod (taping back of pcb, with a few layers typically)?
or is that a rookie mod
anything is optimal
again
ur not going bronze to silver from a switch change
its fun to try id say, i think either side has many users at this point.
mj, what's up with the bronze talk? I want the optimal switch for the keyboard
if this guy is another tier 2 "pro" player that would be hella funny
😹😹
if he was any good he would understand you want the best switch for the keyboard - probably did not help his gameplay
there is no objective optimal switch tho. at least not in general. maybe for very specific use cases
i think everybody would agree that less wobble and less friction is better?
the funny part is most who come here asking for the "best" do not understand what is the "best" they are asking about
i get what u mean @hollow pier but they are right, u cant really generalize a personal preference thing, but yeah we discussed jade pro and geon raw he are really well put together (jade pros more)
Any info about this?
optimum 😻
link the video rq
still waiting for his 80HE review
i think we can all agree that optimum has some of the best and reasonable opinions about tech stuff
low key though that case kinda looks like an L. from the image at least it looks really thin. hopefully it is just a part of the whole build like the one owlab is working on
thats why i wanted the link to the video, so i could tell whether it actually is that thin or not
? What you mean thin
height
we’ve seen the whole case already, you can see it in previous wooting booth tours
it looks very short in terms of height
u mind showing me it or linking it? i dont know the name of it or anything to go off whatsoever
Just check the first wooting booth tour video awhile back
the one from 2 weeks again?
Nah the og one even earlier before 80he deliveries
Although I think they might have shown glimpses of the optimum one in that other tour too
It’s been in the livestreams of the booths too
Thicc ah bezels
any idea what is the mounting method?
Tray mount
sexy tho
it's clean
Basic af
good basic tho
Lol yeah it’s clean
u can find basic ass cases which look rlly ugly
yee... L... kinda guessed after sno mentioned that is from before 80he
no space for weight either?
Ita a def alumaze degree
Looks fine for me. 60he isn’t really about gasket mounting anyway
Yea
Say is the venom60He a 8k polling rate ?
Yeah
Think so
I mean its an optional mount
Was thinking about copping it
@fluid ravine ill get u ur case soon im shipping out for BCT
On 3rd of JAN
2025
I never got the obsession with gasket mount for he keyboard. You don’t really get all that much benefit in he anyway
still waiting on my venom60he 
i think its 8k polling 3k scan
Oop I forgot abt that thing you said 
it’s like 4-6k scan depending on things
Its web software
O i c
The evolution is far grander
Agreed

👀 btw are you running no foam now after you did the foam tape thingy
Thanksgiving my favorite holiday
Absolutely no foam
So chill
I was insane enough
how you liking it
So enjoyable
I have it on good authority you’ll be happy with the angle if that’s what you’re worried about with optimum case
Not bad
To buy 2 glass mousepads
Christmas is my always my time of year 
Pretty impressed with the fact there isn't any hollowness or ping still
Yooo I kind of want a glass mousepad 
Wgat u wanna get ?
I get to be ultimate festive during christmas
But kinda make sense cus literally the pcb is not making any contact with the case after that bs
I havent gotten the yuki aim yet
Well skypad 4.0 was top of my list but I think it’s too small for me
Was thinking of the sc004p
However you spell it
If silicate glass is durable
I wish the glass pads werent mostly comprised of anime women 
Id say get the control ones
If ur a control guy
Scoop 
And proper skates
what I'm curious about more is if now that they have another more basic design for the optimum case, if they plan to use that same design and do stonewashed raw version
Control what
I want me some anime women
Control glasspad
Gimme some godzilla shit, that would go hard
no idea honestly, I've only ever played around with glass pads but never bought my own
find the ahegao keycaps
they said stonewashed raw would be experimented and come to 60he eventually. Would be cool if there's a similar simple design like optimum case for 80he and 60he and we finally get the true stonewashed raw case
Theres a godzilla glass pad
There’s plenty of ahego caps to go around for the entire world
Alrdy knowem but na
AND NO ONE TOLD ME?
O ic
Dude u missing out LOL
Hard
Rn
The Godzilla vs. Arbiter Studio Limited Edition Glass Mousepad is the ultimate blend of elegance and performance. With its heat-treated glass surface, it offers a smooth, frictionless experience for rapid and accurate movements. The 500mm x 400mm dimensions provide ample room for high-level play, while the custom silic
my one problem with glasspads is cloth pads are just way more comfortable
im always too busy trying to find my new stylish deskmat
the slight padding under your arm and wrist is nice
Maybe ill go keebmat
I fine the glasspads way more comfortable than clotj
Cloth(
Idk
that's a bit odd
ow gamer?
No lol
maybe he means tracking wise or something
@glacial wind i know you have a keebmat, but which size do you have for your 80he?
tac gamer that likes glass pad
The glass is way more comfortable for me ig
cloth pads are just universally more comfortable feel wise than glass normally, since one is hard and one is soft
now i need to know your rank
I cld track better than cloth
yeah i'm talking pure comfort as in how it feels on your hand and skin
Im hardstuck gold
not as in control etc
Im like gold 1-2
and that is all I need
sry
Im slowly gonna reach plat to diamind
Diond*
Diamond*
For siege i was sil 3 peak this season but cuz of the siege servers and solo q
I hurted my rank down
nothing wrong with glass pads for tact fps, but man you really need to grind a lot of training to use them well in tact fps
Not rlly
It easily translated for me
Idk how but i adapted
almost anything is better than tray
i mean no offense but you're gold. Nothing wrong with that but there's no way your aim is at that level yet
toxic but very true id say
xD
i'm talking more like to fully track and utilize a glass pad it takes immortal level aim mechanics
Uhh ts translateable
because you have to grind a lot of aim trainers to really smooth out the jitters and control
True on that part
Just bought a glass mousepad for that, can't wait to suffer with it in arma
Looks like its time to get immortal rank in val
LOL
yes it translates, but even as someone who is fairly highly ranked on aim trainers on tracking, I don't transition as easily
Well you have a glass pad so nothing holding you back now !!
Idk then
Its probs preference
Or the way u sit
i'm not saying you can't transfer over the skill, but rather that glass pad = you need to put in the hours to grind the skill to use it as well as a cloth pad
it's not preference, it's just purely a skill thing
Oh
if we're talking abt val then dont ever solo q
I c wym now
glass = less control and you need time to grind it
Thats what i agree
But then again solo q to gold
Is as hars as it is
Hard*
Esp asian servers
Fucking pain
think more like glass = more difficult to stop, which is useful for static, which is a large(arguably..) part of tac game
I think its the stop and switch movement idk there are top val players
i solo q'ed to asc2 and it took more effort than cumming 2 times in a row
Who used a control glasspad and cooked
glass transfers every part of your aim into the pad, so you really have to be crazy top tier to not feel all the mistakes as much
I just realized I had enhanced Pointer Precision on for the last couple months , last night
I’m cooked
it kind of shows off where the mistakes are in your technique and aim because you have less friction to rely on
how do you mean transfer. its just different speed compare to cloth, its not like cloth is holding you back in anyway.
i was just gonna mention this
sp-004 seems to be what i would get if/when i go glass pad
U know what they say
ic thats true
Good to polish mistakes
i'm top 500 in bunch of the popular aim tracking exercises and i'm still not fully comfortable with it
takes a lot of time to really get used to glass
with cloth u can do dumb shit and it wont be dumb, but on a glass pad u do the same thing and u get punished heavy due to how raw your input is gonna be
Im p comfortable
its like the difference between a hard brush and a soft brush
But yea
depending on the situation they could both be better than eachother
though when you wanna win pad that is more appropriate for the scenarios would be "better"
honestly speaking if your aim is actually good you'll be diamond no problems, even on asian servers
Yeah but his point his that you’re also ass at FPS
solo queue even
Its good to be ass
lol respectfully
Good time to work on it
yeah rn is a great time to be a bad player
lol I think thing with glass pad his much higher skill ceiling
asian server according to aspas and i think jing is the most skilled server
the amount of help u can get just by asking is insane
Yea LOL
And cloth pad higher skill floor
yeah i play on asian servers myself
this
Which one KR jp ?
kr
Ok thats cooked
have you played other severs?
yeah i mess around on the other servers sometimes, but mainly kr server because better ping
????
i play only na but i watched some eu and asian stuff. asian has the best vibe easily
What fps game you play? @glacial wind
valorant
Ah right
u overestimate the amount of mouse control the average person has
Cool
people play on literal mud and 70g mice on 130cm/360
i aim the best with my hand being slightly uncomfy (just got the viper v3 pro like a month ago), that just goes to show that sometimes u do need to not be comfortable to perform ur best (changes from person to person)
Yea
Cloth does not have a higher skill floor lmao
This is what i agree on
cloth is way easier to use than glass, thats what he meant
?? Then he literally means its a lower skill floor
but also dont forget glass stays consistent all around
Lmfao
Pull a Niko and shatter your shit
where as cloth will deteriorate over time
Yeah and cloth more work to clean
he said higehr skill floor though...
he never said that wdym
oh wait ur right
oh wait i am braindead you right
lmao
we meant the same thing but u actually know the terms
i like viscose approach to glass pads more than actually using glass pads for tact fps
skill floor = minimum effort and skill expression for results, skill ceiling = maxiumum effort and skill expression
cloth is lower skill floor
wtf is hard to understand here
where she uses it to find the mistakes in her technique and find where she needs to train via using fast glass pad
god strat
i love switching to glass when my mouse control feels lacking
Its good
That’s interesting
@polar girder hes not wrong
Just use it as exercise
muscle memory is a bit of a myth for aiming
dont say muscle memory
I have him blocked so idk what he’s saying. All good.
people gonna roast you bb
untrue
glass pads are a giant pain in the ass to store though
they take up that entire space
ohh
I mean u cld always get a hardcase for em and store it somewhere else
wait u cant have anything even laying on them? like a phone, tweezers or like anything random at all
that and i refuse to full time use a glass pad until they release more non anime girl ones that are non stick coated
wait u just opened my eyes
there are non stick glass pads?
kinda, it's not fully non stick but glsswrk for example has coated pads that are much less sticky than normal glass
i correct you too many times @-@
Like the kazemi
whats wrong with sleeve :3
but they're also all anime designs so never touching those
is the sp-004 one of them? ive had that one in mind for a while now and i kinda wanna try it
unfortunately not
aw damn
i fw that
i hate how anime has taken over every branch of gaming peripherals
it's cause it sells. The collectors eat it up and buy every variation that gets released
😭
True
the demographic of collectors just love anime pads
literally so dumb but ur right
glasspads with anime designs is literally printing money right now
It alrdy is
Next theyll make anime glass body pillows to get the collectors
LOL
LOL
question for you more hardcore gamer, have you tried to use deskmat for game instead of mousepad
but then again tho working on ur aim and movemnet etc rlly does take time
To grind on
as a firm anime hater i would genuinely burn bridges with anyone who has an anime glass mousepad
or like go with keebmat or something
U can start with me
LOOL
i use desk mat
I use deskmat 
and id say im really good at fps games
Mainly cuz i like the variety in art styles
900x500 is my dream
i have a 160x80 cm




its still high pitch with 1445 gram | 3.18lb of weight?
