I'm new to all of this, I only have 3 layers tape mod but doesn't make any difference rly... I'd love my keyboard to be silent

I have lekker v2's switchs, I thought they would be lubed enough

#

nothing from factory is ever lubed enough

#

hand lubing will 100% of the time be better than factory lubing

Ok, gonna have to but some lube then

The lube on the wooting shop is ok ?

#

it's not as mushy as I expected

#

It actually gives it more of a thud

jaunty ruin
#

and id really suggest you watch a video of someone doing it and listen when they say less is more

#

very important that you do a very very slim layer of lube

marsh saffron
#

It did not take much lube to achieve what I wanted from my stabs

jaunty ruin
#

i fucked up my old lekker v1's cuz i was being stupid and just went for it with the lube

#

"surely it cant go that wrong" yeah no it definitely can

Really thin so you can have quite a bit of control over how it sounds with how many layers you use

# honest spear Ok, gonna have to but some lube then

Always wondered how you can lubricate your lekker switches or grease your stabilizer wire. In this video, we will deep dive on different methods of lubing and some general tips and tricks. Using the Wooting 60HE.

Krytox GPL 205G0 and Molykote EM-50L lubricant:

Still recommend to keep my lekker v2 and wait for proper silent switchs or is there any actual worth silent HE switch on the market right now ?

That’s why I keep them

Otherwise I’d probably go jade pro

Yeah if anyone wants silent I’d say just hand lube some lekker v2’s and oil the springs and get a plastic plate

#

Not even close to silent but it’s the best we’ve got. Pretty much

Silent HE is still a pipe dream

Just like in a literal switch

#

the genty silents are just reusing gat zero degree molds and implementation

#

and theyre literally not silents
gateron has actual silent switches that aim to make both strokes quieter but just chose to not use their tech for genty’s

No

Just raptor, lekker v1 and BK

#

I have both the jade pro and the geon raws 40g. The jades have a much more profound deeper thock. The raws however, if you really dampen your board, the high pitch clacks are not that noticeable, but it’ll end up being a very silent switch. Also depends on key caps. On stiff and thick pbts the clack is more pronounced

currenlty on jades (non pro), love it, but if i were to upgrade switches ... raw he offers stiffer springs out of the box. and my jades are definitely too light for me xD

Ah. Yeah I saw a video on them and they sounded very different compared to jades, but I know myself, I have to pace myself a bit before I own I don't know how many sets of switches 🥲 That's why I hoped someone actually had hands on experience with em

calm pulsar
sacred elm
#

maybe different spring weight slightly changes the sound

sacred elm
dapper tartan
#

Was on different video's. But I know that doesn't say everything. Often in those video's the voice-over sounds way to smooth which tells me an eq is used, and I doubt the recording of the sound test is done neutrally so it's already distorted there. I think I'll just keep to these switches and experiment with some foams and other mods to hone in on what I have in mind

mint crater
#

got my new ceramic keycaps! Any recommendations on getting heavier spring switches for the spacebar? it's a bit heavy for the lekker v2 60

sweet oak
#

Wooting has spring packs on their website

mint crater
#

oh sweet i'll check it out thanks

#

should i get the 80's or 100s?

sweet oak
#

I think 80s should work last time i heard

mint crater
#

would u change all the springs or just the spacebar?

sweet oak
#

If you prefer the normal 60s weight then id probably just change the spacebar as long as the other keys are fine

sacred elm

yeah other keys are fine

#

i kinda regret getting geon raws instead of jade pros

#

:c

sacred elm
#

why

spark breach
#

i think the jade pros sounds nicer

#

the geon raws are too loud for my liking

kind helm
#

isn't jade pro supposed to be louder than raw?

sacred elm
#

jade pros are also loud

spark breach
#

no the jade pro are quieter and its sound is way deeper compared to the clacky high pitched sound of the geon raws

#

its too ear piercing for my liking

#

i like a quieter, deeper sounding switch

kind helm
#

raw's bottom is open though, despite not being open like knight or lekker. jade is closed bottom

spark breach
#

^

#

thats why the sound is so different

#

one of the reasons atleast

#

geon raws are definitely not a bad switch overall but id rather have jade pros if i knew how the raws actually sound irl

sacred elm
flat cobalt
kind helm
#

👀 while i agree that switch itself does contribute to the sound of the board, you can still achieve deeper sound through mods like poro foam or pc plate

glacial wind
#

if you're just comparing sound tests online between different creators then it may be giving you the wrong impression

glacial wind
#

yeah

#

although only a few pros just to test out

#

i didn't buy 90

#

they're both loud lol

kind helm
#

do you think jade is more quiet? (not to argue a point, more just curious)

glacial wind
#

not at all

#

the pitch is a tad different but without recording and boosting it myself they're both that standard jade clacky loudness

kind helm
#

i got a few neo which is closed bottom, and compare to raw neo is much louder (of course it is not really a "fair" comparison since the material used are different, but i thought a lot of that loudness comes from the fact that one is closed bottom and the other is not)

kind helm
#

from the OG jade

glacial wind
#

i get a feeling mr menstruate is comparing different sound tests and forgetting that they're different setups so loudness and 'thock' will be totally different just from the mics

kind helm

You should go with gaterons jade in that case, raw he are also a gem if you know how to mod them well, if you only care about sound and fun, go ahead and pe foam mod, and tape mod all you want, if you got the time, re lube or lube your own switches completely, it’s worth it

Honkid on amazon has always been quite a good choice, local stores of ironmongery should work with them also, just thicker and quite diff to work with, modules from pompokey are good also https://pompokey.com/products/keyboard-pe-foam-mod

dogekek i try to be a bit more precise, tuning includes lubing and wire balancing, which essentially just means bending the wire slightly to ensure both ends of the wire can be pressed down evenly

video is much easier than explaining it with words because i cant tell you if something sounds good without you hearing it yourself and deciding if it is worth your time bb

different mods has different purpose, so some modification that one enjoys maybe dislike by another. if you have enough patience, you can read through the modding_faq which has a lot more details.

in terms of what i personally considered essential, is having decent switches(which you already do i think, raws right?) and tuned stabilizers.

that’s pretty “low profile”

what switches do u use?

are there any cases releasing for the 60he that are worth looking out for that are in the class of salvation or frog mini?

just using stock lekk 60s but was considering getting the geon raws or the jade pros

tawdry tree
#

If it’s split foam like KBD’s you can use any

modest wyvern
#

Thanks, I'll just get the 6 I suppose

tawdry tree
#

could get 3.5 and 6

#

that’s 9.5 as well 😂

shit that's true

then I could glue em together if I end up liking it thicker like that

holee, bandaid, foam mod on stabs is just ways to go around the issue of having an improperly tuned stabilizer without actually addressing points of issue

im buying long pole screw in stabs for my geon raw he (im using pc plate) but does it matter which ones?

#

or should i get a certain brand( sorry for the spam) and the swagkeys knight v2 are sold out

#

according to mr mj designer studio is pretty good

#

but with raw you should probably also grab geon stem spacer

tulip rapids
#

i have the stem spacers but they suck

#

i cant get long stab poles for the geon raw that would do a better job?

Started a new job today, it’s for a plastic manufacturing company. I was talking to one of the guys and he said we can even talk to the CAD people and design our own stuff. I was thinking about doing an acrylic case.

Color checking if you're trying to see what might match a specific build best

for example, matching yellow can be tough so it helps

was considering putting foam there, but i dont have foam until i get a new package delivered

exotic inlet
rapid aurora
#

yeah i just rolled the masking tape so it acts as a double sided tape and then put a regular strip above so the sticky side doesnt face the bottom

exotic inlet
#

AS long as it did the job I guess it's ok

rapid aurora
#

it adds a tiny bit of weight however though but it's miles better sound wise

exotic inlet
#

I have mine with dense foam right now but I ordered a few days ago spacebar foam from ali

rapid aurora
#

yeah was considering that as well, but saw some youtube videoes of people doing foam and imo it didnt really change the sound at all

exotic inlet
#

That one

rapid aurora
#

you got a link?

exotic inlet
#

That's the one I got, I'm waiting for it to arrive in a few days

rapid aurora
#

you bought 7u or 6.25u?

exotic inlet
#

6.25u

rapid aurora
#

honestly im just going to buy it as well, it's 1$ free shipping to norway lol so doesnt hurt to try

exotic inlet
#

It's cheap, yes

rapid aurora
#

whats your current build?

exotic inlet
#

Raw zinc and geon raw he switches

rapid aurora
#

you recommend the geon raw he? been looking at them myself

oh nice case, custom painted?

#

ohhh right.. that shits like chrome

exotic inlet

rapid aurora
#

you hand lubed your geons?

exotic inlet
#

No, I let them as they came. Sound is so nice stock

#

I tried both the lekkers and geon

#

And inmediately installed the raws

rapid aurora
#

damn gotta try then, i just spent the afternoon today hand lubing 90 lekker 45s

exotic inlet
#

I would give it a try if I was you

#

Having said that, the only key I have lekker l60 installed is the spacebar

rapid aurora
#

Where did you buy them from? Can't find any stores local in scandinavia, so was considering buying directly from https://geon.works/, but shipping is like almost 1:1 from the price of a 90 pack

exotic inlet
#

All the rest of the keyboard I have the raws

exotic inlet
#

But have to say customs and shipping were so expensive

rapid aurora
#

yeah so geon.works?

exotic inlet
#

Ye

#

But wait

rapid aurora
#

I've yet to pay customs for my wooting 80he, lol, i just hope I never receive a claim in the mail

exotic inlet
#

There was an EU site that resulted cheaper I think, let me find it

#
Delta Key Co.

Geon Raw HE Switches specifications: Each pack contains 10 switches  Linear Hall-Effect Switch Top Housing: PC Bottom Housing: Nylon Stem: POM Spring: 15.0mm, Single Pre-travel: 0.1 ~ 3.3mm (Analog) Total Travel: 3.4mm Initial Force: 36.0g Bottom-out: 50.0g Magnetic Flux: Initial: 160Gs Bottom-out: 720Gs 2-Pin Lubed

#

That one

#

Shipping is way cheaper from that

rapid aurora
#

That's 58.43€ w/o customs tax I guess
Directly from geon would be 53.34$ w/o customs?

#

Although shipping from geon is nearly 1:1, it's still cheaper for me

#

as the switches are -30% right now

#

Might just jump the gun tbf

exotic inlet
#

Problem from geon is customs

#

Or at least it was in my case

#

I'm from EU

night atlas

#

I had to pay like 30 euros

i'm so sad... i just bought ws dash last week 🥲

exotic inlet

#

Live in norway, we're a part of the european trade union, but not EU directly

night atlas
#

i'm gonna buy a new set anyway

#

LOL

#

so is the code just THOCCTOBER?

rapid aurora
#

So I'll end up paying customs if the store doesn't partake in some agreement with our customs

#

or whatever

rapid aurora

i'm glad/sad I checked here when i did

#

it'll make a good xmas gift for the keeb homies

Hahah for sure unless you're able to return them

#

If you just want the geon raw he's instead

night atlas
#

Eh, why not both lol

#

wait so i'm confused and kinda new...

#

HE switches don't usually have pins right?

#

metal ones at that

exotic inlet
#

Only 2 plastic pins

night atlas
#

ok thats what i was thinking

#

tyty

#

what's the diff in sound profiles for the raptor he

#

compared to geon raw

exotic inlet
#

I can't tell about raptor hes but this is how mine sounds with geons

#

spacebar is with lekker l60 v2

night atlas
#

ooo ok

#

what spring did u get?

exotic inlet
#

50g

night atlas
#

and ty for the sound byte btw i appreciate it

exotic inlet
#

Np

night atlas
#

so for springs, higher number = more resistance correct?

exotic inlet
#

Correct

night atlas
#

okay cool cool

#

i got the tofu acryllic and i'm hoping i don't regret it cause i'm just now thinking of how sound dampening mods might make it look shitty, at least from the underside

#

@rapid aurora it doesn't apply the code even if i manually do it, am i doing something wrong?

also stabilizers are grossly lubed as well

same but ive never been able to get rid of ticking

#

no amount of grease or lube can remove the ticking

flat cobalt
rapid aurora
#

this removed all my space bar ticking

#

made it super thocky

#

no rattling from stabilizers at all as well after hand lubing them twice

grizzled sierra
#

oh shit nice

#

ill try it

#

but its happened on all the space bars

#

its the stabilizer itself

rapid aurora
#

ohh right, do you lube them yourself or do you just leave as is?

grizzled sierra
#

i lubed them myself

#

and band aids under them

rapid aurora
#

my stabilizers arrived pretty rattly, and i sort of messed up the lube job the first time

grizzled sierra
#

ive lubed them around 3 times now to try and get them to stop ticking but it never worked

rapid aurora
#

and then i removed all keycaps, switches and the gasket mount
and then relubed them once more with a fuck ton of lube around the corner and where you insert the wire in to the stabilizer

#

worked like a charm, sounds fantastic now

grizzled sierra
#

i wishh

#

im gonna try again someday

#

im too lazy atm

once i return the jade maxs for the jade pros ill do it
