the last one, i think the best one, uses no screws

#

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

#

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

ppl say they dont need lube but idk

#

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

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^

jade narwhal
#

I think there is not much space to mod an 80he bc wooting has done so much.

clever wharf
#

I see

#

Does the 80he module include foam dampening?

dry garden
#

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)

@kind helm - did you have a recording of your o-ring friction mount?

@tulip rapids which scraft did you grab CR_Think_mega_Spin

kind helm
# vague stag <@748060490172858470> - did you have a recording of your o-ring friction mount?

#🔧│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.

Is that ok to had killmat in my 80HE ? everething will fit ? (already have tape mod )

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.

polar girder

They’re alright

I liked them the best against BK stock, Lekker 35 spring and those

kind helm
# polar girder Yeah

i wanted to get those but my favorite russian man arcskyo said they are no good

polar girder

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...

#

The dual stage aren’t best sound but feel great

does it ping like crazy or wat

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 .

just plastic or zinc

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 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

calm pulsar
kind helm
#

but its poppy

calm pulsar
kind helm
#

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

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

i might do those too

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

# knotty iron Weird thing is for my 80HE 10 minutes+ upon plugging it in, it still feels slowe...

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 :)

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

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!

salty mj? want the best switches for the best keyboard?

about as substantive as best switch for typing

stone flax

therein lies the fault

hollow pier

like why not get the optimal switches?

stone flax
#

switches are preference

#

lmfao

#

whats best for you isnt best for me nor best for three

hollow pier
#

ofc, but some are better than lekkers?

stone flax
#

in terms of what

hollow pier

feeling

elaborate

jaunty ruin
#

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

hollow pier
#

read above what i want to change

#

lekkers are not that good IMO

jaunty ruin
#

lekkers arent horrible but in terms of custom keyboards theyre definitely not the best out there (duh, theyre stock)

stone flax
#

whats ur preference in terms of
pole vs rail bottom out
travel distance
open vs closed bottom
rails design

hollow pier
#

yes, why I am asking for alterantives

stone flax
#

lmk

hollow pier
#

smoother & less wobble

jaunty ruin
#

in my opinion id say Jade Pro's are the very best ones out there right now

#

but theyre expensive

stone flax
#

done deal

jaunty ruin
#

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

hollow pier
#

might aswell get new switches than trying to fix something subpar

stone flax
#

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

👀 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

jaunty ruin
stone flax
#

mmmmm i love keyboards

#

i want the best gaming switch

jaunty ruin
#

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

stone flax
#

its consistently bad

jaunty ruin
#

LOL

#

have u seen the rgb pass through on them tho? its insane how thats all just from the switch being used

stone flax
#

i guess

#

ugly imo

jaunty ruin
#

im not a big rgb guy but it looks satisfying asf when u look at the other switches pass through

#

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?

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

So Jade's and Raw's are the "best" options than

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

jaunty ruin

noted.

#

Closed back headphones, so that's why sound is not an issue - only the feeling of the switches

jaunty ruin
#

the sound is also gonna pass thru the feeling

kind helm

then jade pro would be better than raw in my opinion

jaunty ruin
#

very true ^

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

ur not going bronze to silver from a switch change

kind helm
hollow pier
#

mj, what's up with the bronze talk? I want the optimal switch for the keyboard

kind helm
hollow pier
#

if he was any good he would understand you want the best switch for the keyboard - probably did not help his gameplay

fallen echo
#

there is no objective optimal switch tho. at least not in general. maybe for very specific use cases

hollow pier
#

i think everybody would agree that less wobble and less friction is better?

kind helm
jaunty ruin

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)
