Honestly I think your issues are unique a bit to you

#

I was more talking to the other guy about his venom

#

Yo anyone have a good PCB switch pad foam for under plate foam?

#

The one I got sucks

#

I don’t want a film

#

No plastic

#

Trying to avoid individual switch pads

#

But might have to

best keyboard lets go

I have smth like this

would need to cut holes for the standoffs

calm pulsar
#

and very soft

very nice

tawdry tree
#

yeah that’s good

calm pulsar
#

10 bucks kinda insane though lol

#

but I got it along with geon extreme gaming mx switches

polar girder
tawdry tree
#

the one I sent is the same

#

but u get plate and case foam as well

đŸ„Ž

calm pulsar

w

tawdry tree
#

what’s this supposed to be for?

calm pulsar
#

HE? lol

#

and no rgb cutouts

tawdry tree
#

maybe

calm pulsar
#

or likely just a lazy universal layout

#

for MX might be weird though, cause it needs cutouts for the large pin

#

btw @stray tiger I figured out why my capslock led wasnt working sometimes on my venom
cause im a dumbass and I used a foam sheet that covers the led😂

#

I once built without it and was like oh now the led works

#

😄

stray tiger

#

ah

#

a bit odd to include a precut one as well

#

prob universal indeed

crimson sky
#

this goes under the switches

#

it's very thin

tawdry tree
#

it includes both switchpads/sheets

#

precut

#

and that

#

I’ve never understood why people feel the need to add flex cuts for woot’s plates

polar girder
#

Hate this one I got n

tawdry tree
# polar girder

is it shiny because it’s just plastic or cause of lube?

stone flax
#

Im so sad

😔

polar girder

It is not

polar girder

get the one from ali or if you can’t order from ali, then the KBD one

Deaden everything

calm pulsar

ton of foam can cause sound reflect back to you which is cringe

untold wigeon
#

is the VERTEX V ONE SWITCHES good for the wooting

tawdry tree
untold wigeon
#

switch

tawdry tree
#

is that’s a mechanical switch

untold wigeon
#

yes

tawdry tree
#

not compatible with woot

calm pulsar

creamy cream

untold wigeon
tawdry tree
#

only (some) magnetic switches are compatible with HE boards.

untold wigeon
#

some?

tawdry tree
#

most but not all.

untold wigeon
#

damn so i need to build a new keyboard

signal ridge
#

just use lekker v2s

#

theyre good if u lube them

#

alr good

#

very good if u lube

untold wigeon
#

that will take so lon

#

g

#

i will have kids

signal ridge
#

i bet the lekkers are better

#

factory

untold wigeon
#

do they sell pre lubbed

tawdry tree
#

they come prelubed

signal ridge
#

they are

untold wigeon
#

so i dont need to lube them

tawdry tree
#

did you get the module?

coral glen
#

Hello, I was wondering my brother ordered the 80HE and he got 90 extra lekker switches. Can I do anything with those, maybe make a second keyboard with them?

untold wigeon
#

i own a wooting

untold wigeon
#

if he has a module that supports magnetic switches

coral glen
#

So I need a module that supports Hall Effect right

tawdry tree
untold wigeon
coral glen
#

Where could I get a module for that? Any suggestions?

untold wigeon
#

i need good souding

untold wigeon
#

or ask chatgpt

coral glen
#

Only from wooting right?

#

I‘m really clueless, would be my first one I build myself

untold wigeon
#

any that work

tawdry tree
#

Oh yeah, you can get the 80HE Module or 60HE Module.

#

Module is just the PCB and plate without keycaps or switches.

coral glen
#

Is there a 100% keyboard that supports them?

untold wigeon
tawdry tree
coral glen
#

I would want that, ISO

untold wigeon
#

Wooting Series .SteelSeries Apex Pro,Tesoro GRAM Spectrum SE,Input Club Keystone

coral glen
#

Any suggestions?

untold wigeon
#

i asked chatgpt

coral glen
#

The wooting I can‘t buy module only sadly

tawdry tree
coral glen
#

For the two he

untold wigeon
coral glen
#

Let me check them out

untold wigeon
#

and do NOT buy those fake wooting

#

from alibaba

tawdry tree
coral glen
#

Yeah I would preferably want one without or maybe cheap

#

Otherwise I have extra switches again

untold wigeon
coral glen
untold wigeon
#

oof

#

i think

#

you can

tawdry tree
#

yeah no

untold wigeon
#

wait

coral glen
untold wigeon
#

or a 70%

coral glen
#

I really want a 100% one tho

tawdry tree
#

100%, that isn’t Woot and without switches is not possible idt

coral glen
#

Ah I see

untold wigeon
coral glen
#

Switches i will get more

untold wigeon
#

good idea

coral glen
#

I miss a few ofc

tawdry tree
#

100% HE boards are rare as is.

coral glen
#

90 isnt enough for 100

untold wigeon
coral glen
#

I'm from EU, is there a site I could check?

untold wigeon
#

i am also from the eu

coral glen
#

That delivers

untold wigeon
#

wooting

coral glen
#

without shipping cost, taxes

untold wigeon
#

yea no

coral glen
#

yeah but wooting doesnt sell the module only :c

untold wigeon
#

they all have taxes

#

trust me ive seen

coral glen
#

Atleast not from US I guess

untold wigeon
#

yea

#

but taxes arent that bad

#

shipping is

tawdry tree
#

why do you want 100%?

Mechanical Keyboards

While the technology is not new, keyboards that use Hall Effect switches are having a resurgence in popularity. These keyboards use a system consisting of sensors and magnets to detect keypresses, instead of a physical electrical connection. The PCB is fitted with sensors to detect the exact position of the magnets located in each switch. This a...

LolCalderHappy

untold wigeon
#

i must be smart

untold wigeon
#

Build is mostly complete

stone flax
#

switches dont have cream

untold wigeon
#

But I had to do a plateless build because of the slow ass shipping from wooting

fluid ravine
# untold wigeon wicht is more creamy https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/search?q=halleffect&options...

"Creamy" is just a buzzword term not really a sound profile. And no none of those switches will technically provide what sound profile you're looking for, nor does it provide sound profiles like "thocky" or "clacky". Sound profiles all comes from the factors of the keyboard itself like key caps, switches, plate, case, mounting style, etc. We just use "pitches" to describe how the switch sound and how it feels.

stray tiger
#

That and 2 of the 4 switches on that page wont work

prisma stump
#

Would it be bad to try and make my 80he have more flex? If not how would I go doing so

untold wigeon
#

My keycaps from a custom mechanical keyboard shop arrived sooner than wooting’s fucking plate (instock) from the USA

stray tiger
untold wigeon
#

Wooting is shipping from Germany

fluid ravine

No, thats why i asked

So long as the seller transfers it you can get it transferred

untold wigeon

Ye

I wouldnt trust that to happen. You can buy from a country based reseller if you want it immediately though

god damn those owlab collabs make me want a 60he

little glen

but at the same time i really know i dont need one

and it's probably going to be stupid expensive

ornate quest

Same shit, it’s coming in from eu

The stuff I bought from usa gets to me quicker despite being purchased at a later date

#

I love this underglow hahah

Without plate it’s really clean

cedar gate

i would minimize use till the plate arrives

What you doing with your keyboard?

Humping it?

They have leg clips to match onto the pcb for plate less he build

Are we talking here

I thought it was a wooting

untold wigeon
fluid ravine
untold wigeon
#

But v2s are great, no more insane magnets

fluid ravine
#

I'm generalizing it

untold wigeon
#

It is not an Mx board

fluid ravine
#

Justin built his HE board plate less with stick rice v2 @cedar gate

#

And no it won't damage it

untold wigeon
#

It is

cedar gate
#

to my limited knowledge the purpose of the plate is to take the stress of the pcb?

tawdry tree
cedar gate
untold wigeon
#

My wooting is way more than that rn pepenote

tawdry tree
#

more stable with a plate

stray tiger
tawdry tree
#

than without

fluid ravine
cedar gate
untold wigeon
#

Yeah, plateless is more of a mechanical keyboard thing cuz of the extra pins

#

But let’s be honest those small ass pins aren’t gonna help

tawdry tree
#

normally the switches keep the plate up in mech

stray tiger
#

Well you wont be running plateless with MX unless youre soldering usually

tawdry tree
#

instead of the other way around kinda with HE

untold wigeon
#

I notice it’s louder without plate

#

The sound gets slightly amplified

coral glen
#

If I get the Two HE I can just replace the keycaps without issues right? Are the switches swappable too?

coral glen
#

and if I don't like the Lekker maybe I can swap em out

cedar gate
#

normal MX doesnt work

coral glen
#

Good to know

#

Yeah HE

#

But I also read they ship with 1.5v too now

#

So not too bad

stone flax
#

at the same time

#

dont do plateless hotswap or plateless he

#

unless ur insane

#

then go right ahead

stone flax
#

😭

cedar gate
stone flax

only time its feasible is probably mx with very tight switch pins and sockets

otherwise its crazy

yeah no

thorn zealot

not rly their fault

thorn zealot

yeah its wtv ig

are those switches good

#

or still "worst" then like raws/jade pros

tawdry tree
#

not sure if they changed the tolerances

#

people seem to like them tho

thorn zealot

so i prob should just stick to my raws right

tawdry tree
#

GG is Hejin

knotty iron
#

^^^ this makes a LOT more sense

#

hejin magnetic yellow and teals are they non wooting branded L45 v2 and L60 v2?

tawdry tree
#

lube is different though

knotty iron
#

interesting

tawdry tree
#

on the yellow/teals it’s the same oil black knights use as well

#

whereas Lekker V2s have thicker lube

#

similar to Raw HEs

knotty iron
#

also since you have the 80HE, does it use Raw HE switches

#

yours

tawdry tree
#

I just like their top housing

knotty iron
#

fair

#

that's the thing I dont really like about them lol

#

i wish they were more like a diffuser rather than 90% opaque

tawdry tree
knotty iron
#

the entire top housing would be like a diffuser

#

yeah

tawdry tree
#

oh yeah

knotty iron
#

not translucent

tawdry tree
#

it’s pretty close already

knotty iron
#

just like a lightbulb jn a way

tawdry tree
#

I think if the bottom housing was translucent as well it’d function as diffuser

knotty iron
#

it would help RGB more without looking obnoxious

tawdry tree
#

yeah

knotty iron
#

Raw HE v2s be like

tawdry tree
#

completely transparant would look cool as well

knotty iron
#

at that point we could do a frankenswitch

tawdry tree
knotty iron
#

but functionally the top housing of the Raw HEs are peak

tawdry tree
#

almost I’d say

#

it’s really minor but there’s a slight stickyness when you start the press.

#

it’s because where the stem and top housing touch it’s completely flat (Gateron’s switches have a bump there to prevent this), so the lube between the stem and that part of the top housing cause the stickyness.

#

do you recommend the Jade pros more then? I've been stuck between the geon raws and the jades for when my case comes

fleet tulip
#

is tape modding a 60he safe? standard iso layout, lekker v1.5 60s i think idk

#

and if so, how many layers is prefered/the best option

ebon hull
#

I remember seeing a staff saying that after swapping out the new switch: you should power cycle the keyboard to calibrate, is this still the case? I'd think by unplugging and plugging in the usb cable, but you're doing that when installing the switches anyway. Do you have to factory reset or reinitialize via wootility?

magic walrus
#

Jo im getting my wooting 60he with lekker 60v2 and a Tofu redux case with brassplate should i tape mod or no?

would you say they're quiter or louder than lekker v2's? and how do they feel?

its jade pro / geon raw world

prisma stump
#

glacial wind
#

I’d still go raw he or Jade pro if sound is your main concern

#

magnetos poms feel great and they’re definitely the most stable switch wobble wise, but the sound is not for everyone

@glacial wind sno have you seen my ping?

prisma stump
#

I like the sound profile from what I heard but I’m not a big fan of loud

raws are definitely not deeper lol

Jade pros are?

Yeah

That price point is wild though 😭

They’re both not counted as deep but jade pro are deeper than raw he

How low can it go..?

Hmmm..???

sacred elm
#

first two are jade pros

#

then geon raws

glacial wind
#

How much is this for you for 90?

prisma stump
#

Honestly

#

This is a reasonable price

glacial wind
#

Keep in mind there’s another $5 off via Black Friday coupon and another $5 or so if you have Ali express coins

like for me 90 jade pros is $39 because shipping is free to Asia lol

#

prisma stump
#

these sound amazing

sacred elm
#

theyre clackier now since ive used those keys a lot, but still deeper than raws

the aliexpress deals end today btw so whatever you pick id pick it today lol

prisma stump
sacred elm
#

bottoming out feels very nice on jade pros

prisma stump
#

I couldve sworn they were really expensive

sacred elm
#

and bottom stem wobble is better compared to geon raws

#

but slightly

#

doesnt matter

#

both are very tight

prisma stump
#

are they pre lubed? and do they feel decent if they are? if not I gotta do more research then spend like 5 hours of my day with these switches

glacial wind
#

yeah all decent switches outside of magnetos come pre lubed

sacred elm
#

I plan to bag lube springs in future and thats probably it

#

stock is good

glacial wind
#

I actually don’t know why magnetos don’t come properly lubed lol

prisma stump
#

ok I think ya'll have answered my questions I appreciate the help and info a whole ton

glacial wind
#

I spent an absurd amount of time yesterday just lubing to get all my magneto poms lubed

sacred elm
glacial wind
#

I actually wonder if it’s just my pom magneto that come totally unlubed or if that’s all magnetos

glacial wind
#

Yeah 100% dry outside of maybe the tiniest speckle of lube at bottom of the spring

#

Stem, rails and everything else was completely dry

#

I know some psychopaths like to use full Pom switches dry and say it wears in and self lubricates due to the material, but I also think just lubing from start is smoother lol

#

That’s why I wonder if it’s just a magneto pom thing or every switch in magneto line is this poorly lubed

sacred elm

lol

i think all the mics just love the emphasize deeper sounds due to them being setup for voice, so it hides the clack side a lot

Is that gasket mount ?

Or what is that

sacred elm

I think this is just recolored geon raws lol

it's bounce built into the case design, so not gasket but there's a decent bit of bounce if you watch the video

i guess you'd need the red bits to be white for the theme

I think it'd be better for me to buy the silver one

and then spray paint the accent piece in the front black

and something to cover the left accent piece

i found another coupon and then ordered it because $26 was too expensive

#

$24 is where it's at for 90 jade pro

sacred elm
#

😭😭😭

glacial wind
#

the store had an extra coupon on thier homepage lmao

#

so i stacked yet another coupon

sacred elm
#

Okay now I feel like I got scammed

#

are you sure you didnt buy deng god switches😭

glacial wind
#

it's some weird early pricing deal because they just added them to their store

#

sometimes ali has those where first 5 customers or whatever have a lower price

tropic urchin
#

Maybe they’re secretly Jade gaming switches with a blue box stem

glacial wind
#

I might grab 10 gateron jade gaming just to compare, it’s also giving me a deal for 10 at $5

#

Same for jade max but I feel no need to buy that sticky mess even to compare

tropic urchin
sacred elm
#

Alright, now your next step is to swap those ttc switches

tropic urchin
#

I cry every time

#

I’d rather just drop a gallon of lube on the TTCs and live with those over maxes

glacial wind
#

nah i like my ttc switches

#

no swapping them out

#

i only buy for more samples for the modding website now

stone flax
fallen pecan
#

deng god switches are #12 on the wobble list, a little wobblier than sticky rices

sacred elm
#

thats terrible for a box stem switch

fallen pecan
#

Especially when regular jades are non box and is magnitudes more stable

sacred elm
#

well those deng gods cost 18$

#

so cant say anything

fallen pecan
#

the ony pro is they cheap

#

lemme see how much they go for in china

#

$0.137 per switch

#

sticky rice are $0.12 each

glacial wind
#

okay i picked up 10 jade gaming just to have comparison vs. ttc box stem since they're the 2 best box stems right now

#

so got good enough selection now I think. ttc magneto pom, jade pro, raw he, jade gaming, lekkers

sacred elm
glacial wind
#

lol i had raptors actually and the stem swap raptors

#

i sold them with my 60he og version

sacred elm
#

Yea I know

glacial wind
#

i'm still laughing at 90 jade pros for $24 lol

latent kraken
#

where do I get a random linear100 spring if I only want literally 1 for the spacebar key

glacial wind
#

aliexpress maybe, but they'll be in packs of 10 or 100 or whatever no matter what

#

no one is selling just 1 single spring

#

(but it's not like it's expensive anyway, you'll be paying like $3 or whatever)

latent kraken
#

wooting's shipping is $20 for me :/

fallen pecan
latent kraken
#

which is the price of a spring pack

glacial wind
#

yeah buy from aliexpress then, there's definitely magnetic spring options there

latent kraken
#

HE switch springs are all the same?

#

in terms of dimensions?

glacial wind
#

nah not all the same, but most common is probably 15mm or so

latent kraken
#

15mm is the height?

glacial wind
#

yeah

#

there might be cheaper if you search around. Tricky thing is you want springs made for magnetic switches that aren't magnetic

short swallow
#

so I'm thinking about putting cerakeys on my jade switches for wooting 60he+. I heard you need the lekker spring pack for the jade and cerakeys. Which linear do you rec?

glacial wind
latent kraken
#

oof

#

time to pick up another job 😭

sacred elm
short swallow
fallen pecan
#

just picked up the 90 pack pros, came to 28.3 after tax

glacial wind
#

yeah at that price it's a steal lol

#

although i am not looking forward to more lubing. I feel i should hand lube for a fair comparison because all my switches are hand lubed, but i just spent all yesterday lubing magnetos already

cedar gate
#

Then again it's not huge savings with Shipping you save maybe 10$ so if someone has a giftcard or smth not a bad idea

#

Keypro is a known vendor

#

I think the deal will be gone shortly anyway. It was only a few left when I bought, then it reverts to full price

#

Yeah looking now both me and jabbereock bought when it had 3 left so now it’s down to 1 lol

signal ridge
#

Yea its gone

#

U guys think i can change my order on my wooting 80he while its in mass Production

glacial wind
#

maybe, when's it coming?

#

and what are you changing

#

changing stuff last minute can be risky if other stuff isn't in stock etc

signal ridge
#

I just wanna remove lekker 45s

glacial wind
#

oh that's easy enough yeah you probably have time

#

just send an order edit message via the hub saying you want to remove the lekkers

signal ridge
#

Can i email them?

glacial wind
#

well the hub msg jsut emails them but with proper tags so they know what the email is about

signal ridge
#

Alr ty for the help

glacial wind
#

just go https://wooting.io/support and click the options that fit and it'll take you to the order edit thing eventually. then it's like 2 weeks or so depending on how busy they are to edit the order

untold wigeon
#

Besides friction issue, jades max vs geon raw vs ttc magneto?

glacial wind
#

geon raw for general folks, ttc magneto rgb/pom for max stability but only if you like really poppy clack

#

and jade max i wouldn't even consider

untold wigeon
#

Is there a difference between magneto and magneto rgb?

glacial wind
#

yeah

#

magneto rgb and magneto pom tolerance is smaller

#

although magneto is already very stable, just rgb and pom take it to even more stable tolerances where the flux at bottom out shake is single digits

untold wigeon
#

Oh...

#

And which one between pom and rgb tolerances are smaller?

glacial wind
#

they use the same mold

#

so doesn't matter

untold wigeon
#

Ty

glacial wind
#

both are the 3.4mm mold with the 50+- magnet, so essentially same thing but one has rgb shell and one has full pom shell

#

so you pick between smoothness of pom vs better rgb light

untold wigeon
#

So geon raws are the closest to magneto?

glacial wind
#

not at all

#

geon raw and magneto are completely different switches in sound

untold wigeon
#

Excuse me, wooble

#

Stability

glacial wind
#

not in stability either

untold wigeon
#

Are Raws the closest?

glacial wind
#

nope

untold wigeon
#

Which are the closest to magneto?

glacial wind
#

probably be something like gateron jade gaming or ttc uranus esports

#

they'd be one step behind magneto/magneto level ish

untold wigeon
#

And then the raws begind these?

#

Behind*

glacial wind
#

i dunno there's a shit load of switches man lol

#

i can't name every single one in ranking order

#

there's like 50 different box stem variations in china these days

untold wigeon
#

😂 ty for help tho, probably im gonna end up buying raws..

glacial wind
#

all of which would be before the non box stems

#

jade pro does seem to have tighter tolerance magnets than the geon raw he

#

so if you want max stability on bottom out then jade pro is a sidestep to geon raw he

untold wigeon
#

Ohhh

#

Oki

glacial wind
#

they have similar sound but jade pro is a tad better magnet wise

untold wigeon
#

Do u like uranus esports?

glacial wind
#

no

#

i think they're just worse sounding ttc magnetos

#

and honestly if I was trying to be budget magnetos i'd just buy jade gaming anyway. I think they sound a little better than uranus

untold wigeon
#

Ty for all the info

#

Would this work with any of the switches you told me?

glacial wind
#

yeah most keycaps are just mx cherry standard so keycap compatible is never an issue outside of weird brands like the old logitech gaming keycaps

fallen pecan
glacial wind
fallen pecan
#

i bet, given the price

glacial wind
#

The keykobo version is kinda of off white alphas but the aliexpress ones are just straight white keycaps lol

fallen pecan
#

ill take a look around taobao

#

Does this look right?

glacial wind
#

looks maybe not bad

#

honestly if I buy i'll just buy official one. I already have my cheape $10 fake gmk black on black set and the quality is eh lol

untold wigeon
#

@glacial wind i see that a lot of ppl are happy with jade max, they are not complaing about friction issue...could this happen to some ppl and not happening to others?

glacial wind
#

if you want to buy jade max go for it, but there problem is there

untold wigeon
#

So sometimes, the keys just got stuck?

glacial wind
#

not stuck but the switch itself sticks to itself

#

think of like if you grab 2 ipads face them screen to screen and put some water in between them

#

now move them and notice that sometimes the glass stick to itself

#

that's basically what happens to a lot of same material on same material switches

#

it's why you don't see many switches outside of pom that use same stem + same housing material

untold wigeon
#

Thats sad...i ve read that many doesn't like the profile sound..but to me, they sound a bit quiter than jade pros..

glacial wind
#

at this stage it's not an accident that the large majority of all reviewers have noticed this sticking thing and the only ones i've noticed say they didn't notice it are casual users

untold wigeon

anyone know why one rgb isn't working?

hollow dagger

damn the most unfortunate thing happened this afternoon

night atlas
#

and if there's anything i could do

hollow dagger
#

my knight v2 stem went into my sink

#

I can't get it back

glacial wind
#

. Why was your knight v2 at the sink

hollow dagger
#

wanted to relube it, so I was cleaning it out with my toothbrush

#

then somehow the worst of the worst heppened it went in to a very tight space and went in just like that

#

disassembled the drainage trying to salvage it but I can't find the stem anywhere

#

c'est la vie moment.

the reviewer did mention that the max sticks to the walls a lot

hollow dagger
#

well, my idea was to go with all stock stabs till i get new set of knight v2s

#

but I just couldn't stand the space bar

#

so I switched that out

#

not entirely happy with how it sounds but I guess it works for now.

tawdry tree
#

it’s kinda unlucky but it probably won’t happen again now 😅

hollow dagger
#

wait

#

there is stock in the sw website

just for the black housing, but it's literally the same right?

tawdry tree

they ship from korea

hollow dagger

yea it works better for me

I live in southeast asia

you have the sw knight v2s right?

did they specify how many switches per unit?

deltakeys restocked their knight v2s just now if anyone needs those, ended up ordering from UK myself and in hindsight they were also missing the 205g0 i needed so i made the right call i guess

#

should i follow this when i lube the knight v2s and my stock 4.5U wooting wire (after wiping it down), the inside of the house, the outside of the stam (but not the top obv) and the wire at the point where its highlighted in pink?

#

its the first time im doing any of this so id like to do it correctly đŸ˜«

#

and also should i leave the pads under the stock stabs on there

Is 90 jade pros for 40€ good

they usually go for around $56

sry $60 for the 90 pack if you get it from china, anywhere close to that you're fine

this gives me a headache

40 is fine

open it on the app and see if you get it any lower

might be some app only coupons

Theyre better than L45s tho right

imo yes

i was wondering if someone would be able to help me please? ive ordered the gateron jade maxes and i plan to lube them once they arrive, but ive seen people say that because theyre 3.5mm that it might be worth getting some different stabs? i was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for UK

I am looking to customize a Wooting two HE/Lekker Edition.
Is there a good Metallic Case/Keycaps that are recommended?

but i know what youre going to say

Ah alright dogekek idk if you can make it better with lube.

Stock stabs are fine with 3.5mm switches

ahh okay, i mean ill try and contact gateron about if i refuse delivery and get them sent back and then order some of the pros (i havent seen any issues with these?)

may order the pros now then and then just send the maxes back once they arrive, hopefully they take it but sending back to china can be a bitch
