[worldly igloo]

Ill look at sum offers and ill take best switches for me

i thought mount them will be hard

[tropic urchin]

Nah, its only removing them that can be a pain

[worldly igloo]

Ok okay

So just buy panel and case

ill buy seperately switches and keycaps

[tropic urchin]

Yeah module + case if you don’t want stock switches/caps

Can get other stuff if you wanna mod your keeb later down the line

[agile grove]

have you ever used legos?

[worldly igloo]

for sure

[agile grove]

it’s about that easy

[worldly igloo]

alr

[glossy pagoda]

Use .com

I believe that both are technically official, but that the .co version is not maintained. I could be wrong about that, but I do know that .com is the right one

[worldly igloo]

Yea ik but fake one is first while u search up for this

[worldly igloo]

yea

[tropic urchin]

Ive seen ppl use both, but just use .com

is what I used anyway

[sacred elm]

I would probably wait for the sale since its 70$ for 90pc which is a lot

[stray walrus]

someone has nice keycaps for 60he+ ?

[left depot]

that doesnt mean anything tho, that happened with someone as well when they searched wooting and got a different site

[left depot]

woops

i thought I was in general

time for me to log off soon I guess

[stray walrus]

[tropic urchin]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/ i'd take a look and see if theres any sets that catch your eye

[spice apex]

recent builds before getting a wooting

[jaunty latch]

Before I go destroying my keyboard, is there anyone who can help me out? The new plate I’ve brought doesn’t come with the female screw slots, it’s just a blank board. Do the ones in the wooting plate come out or are they fabricated into the plate?

[celest parrot]

I liked the sound of the lekker v2 more than the geon raws

[spice apex]

they should come out of the wooting plate, unless they are very visibly glued to the plate like a flat head peg to connect to the case

[jaunty latch]

I’ll send a pic to show you

[spice apex]

ok

since the new plate you purchased doesn’t have holes, you’ll have to line up the new one with the wooting and “mill” some holes in it

[jaunty latch]

So these metal stand offs to connect the plate to the pcb

The new plate, it does have holes but no female stand offs

[spice apex]

those female standoffs wont come off unless you cut them, i would try assembling it with the new plate and see what its like to use, if it has too much of a bounce to it you could use something like sugru and model a standoff

sugru is a kind of modeling clay

[jaunty latch]

Even though the plate won’t be tight to the pcb at all?

Like there will be nothing holding it together?

[spice apex]

oh its on the pcb..

[jaunty latch]

I’ve brought a new plate to swap out but it doesn’t have any screw points to attach to the pcb :/

So it’d just be floating

[spice apex]

i would think if you put some stabilizers and switches in, assemble it, it should stay in place but the plate might drop

do you have a dense foam? maybe foam from the keyboard box?

[jaunty latch]

Yeah think I’ll leave it with my original plate for now and see if I can get some female stand offs I can attach to the new plate

Bit of a bummer but I feel like the plate would just move around too much since there’s nothing holding it into place

[spice apex]

if you have the switches and stabs in place it wouldn’t move in any direction except possibly downwards towards to pcb

unless that’s what you meant by moving

is the plate/pcb mounted to the top or the bottom of the case

[jaunty latch]

Let me send a quick vid as I think I’m fucking up my explanation

[spice apex]

ok sounds good

[jaunty latch]

Thank you for your help by the way, appreciate it

I hope that’s a little clearer on what I’m trying to accomplish?

[spice apex]

is that the carbon fiber plate from kbdfans?

[jaunty latch]

Erm, it’s from Ali express

Didn’t expect it to come with no stands though

[spice apex]

kbdfans has things on ali so it might be, just a random thought i had

[jaunty latch]

It might be I can find out

[spice apex]

i believe that since you have the foam between the plate and pcb, it is providing the correct spacing already, so i would start by putting the switches into the plate, lining up the foam, and then carefully line up the pins of the switches into the pcb

[spice apex]

i would only do the corner switches though, so escape, lctrl, right arrow, delete

[jaunty latch]

But will the top plate not move around?

[spice apex]

as long as you are holding the pcb/foam/plate together tightly while you put the switches in, the should provide enough “grip” to hold them together long enough for you to put it into the case and screw it in

[spice apex]

no, it should stay in place as long as you’re lining the holes up

i was thinking you didn’t have pcb foam, in which case there would be nothing holding the plate above the pcb, so it would fall down

but since you have foam, it should be pretty easy

[jaunty latch]

Okay cool thank you!! Should I screw the pcb back into the case first then to give me a sturdy base?

[spice apex]

no, you’ll have to assemble the pcb/plate/foam together as one piece, put it into the case and then screw it in

[jaunty latch]

Okay thank you

[spice apex]

i believe it’s mounted to the bottom of the case so you shouldn’t have to worry about anything getting loose after you put the screws in

just make sure the usb C port still lines up when you put it into the case

i had an issue like that with my nk87

[jaunty latch]

Only the pcb gets mounted to the case I believe? The screws just go through the top plate?

[marsh saffron]

The pcb and plate screw together separately

[jaunty latch]

Yeah that’s what I thought

[spice apex]

ah ok thanks for that

im basing this off of other keyboards i should’ve said that

[jaunty latch]

Yeah no worries, I appreciate the advice either way 🤷🏼‍♂️

[spice apex]

you’ll have to screw in the pcb first then, and very carefully line up the plate foam and switches so you don’t bend any pins

[jaunty latch]

Okay thanks

[spice apex]

you’re welcome, i hope you can get it together 🙏

question, does anyone know if c3 equalz stabs work on the wooting 60he pcb?

[tropic urchin]

Nice keycap sets

[spice apex]

thanks! the pink is gmk truffelschwein and the red is drop x lotr black speech

[tropic urchin]

right looks similar to my 80HE so you have my biased +1

[spice apex]

i have some other keyboards but i only have sound tests for them instead of a picture

i have this nk87 which i’m going to be taking the keycaps off of and putting them onto my 60he when it gets delivered

i bought that nk87 on sale and hated the entire building process

probably gonna take my switches out too and sell it barebones

this is my keychron q1, which was my first high end build being around $450

[glossy pagoda]

🤮

(I'm paid to make that face)

[spice apex]

and then there is this monstrosity

which was my work keyboard but i brought it back

keeb i built in my dorm room

honestly liked this keyboard but no matter what switch or keycap i put in it, it sounded off to me so i commissioned it and sold it

it now has box white v2s in it

[tropic urchin]

Being able to split the keyboard RGB and use 2 colors at once is such a W for my board 😮‍💨

[stone flax]

450 for a q1 pro

oh my god

How

xd

[spice apex]

can’t remember off the top of my head but the keyboard itself was $200 ish, the dots were $145 i think, switches were jades overpriced at like $60 for 90, stabs were $20, and the rest went to krytox

also the picture is gone because it wasn’t sending correctly

i had purchased durock stabs initially but they didn’t work cuz of the pcb thickness so i switched to c3s

[stone flax]

yeesh

[jaunty latch]

@spice apex i decided to put it back on the original plate and just put a few more layers of tape onto the PCB, i will look to see if i can get some mounts for the plate. so all im waiting for now is to get my new switches.

[tame tartan]

i have the original Wooting 60HE from 2 years ago, what are all the changes / differences now compared to the 60HE+?

also what are the best switches i should upgrade to?

[sacred elm]

60he+ supports screw in stabilizers, thats it

[tame tartan]

doesnt it also have different version of the lekker switches like a v1.5?

[sacred elm]

if you bought 60he 2 years ago you have v1 lekkers, 60he+ comes with v1.5 which has much improved stem wobble compared to v1

you can upgrade to jade pros or geon raws, those are probably the most popular switches right now

[tame tartan]

alright thanks

so those are the only differences?

[sacred elm]

Yes

[lean hedge]

thats cool

[tame tartan]

where is the best place to get geon raws in eu (UK)?

us shipping is expensive

[sacred elm]

check aliexpress

[stone flax]

protopypist aliexpress kbdfans deltakeyco

[cyan arch]

What are the best Stabilisors against rattling for the Wooting 60HE+?

[tame tartan]

never bought anything from aliexpress lowkey just thought it was something like temu / wish with load of fake stuff

is it safe to just buy

[polar girder]

PoE 2 dropped? Ay

[spice apex]

ah ok, was it not going together properly then? sounds like a plan though, i don’t think it would be too hard to find those mounts, but they’re probably kinda niche

[tame tartan]

does anyone know what ones the real website?

https://gateron.com/
https://gateron.co/

[sacred elm]

com

[sacred elm]

safe to buy from good sellers

[tame tartan]

thanks

[tame tartan]

yeah i thought that too but for some reason the .co is the first result on google

[calm pulsar]

can't login

[tardy plover]

omfg

finally

[tropic urchin]

See you on later exile 🫡

[calm pulsar]

nice

[jaunty latch]

Still a few things to go but it’s definitely sounding a lot better, all thanks to this discord for the help 🫡

[valid plover]

Which one sounds better to yall?

One has dyesub pbts and the other has GMK

[lean hedge]

honestly sound the same to me lmfao

[marsh saffron]

Bros got the cones on display

I fw it

[jaunty latch]

completely accidental 🤦‍♂️

[marsh saffron]

Gotta show em off

No hate in showing off the Cheech and Chong cones

[jaunty latch]

not used these ones before, got recommended them by a friend so going to give them a try

[marsh saffron]

I hate how I seen a tube and instantly thought it was for pre rolls

[jaunty latch]

he got me an ounce of shatter so he said to use the flavoured cones

[marsh saffron]

I've been smoking the same half oz of live diamonds since like July

Barely put a dent in them 😭

[jaunty latch]

ohh damn ahaha, yeah im not a huge smoker, usually go for edibles tbh

[marsh saffron]

[jaunty latch]

This was 5oz, got an oz of that, tasteless but burns great

We got a good 4.5 lbs iirc

[jaunty latch]

ohh you grow yourself?

[marsh saffron]

Split between 4 strains

[marsh saffron]

Yeah

Legal and licensed thanks to canada

[jaunty latch]

nice man, ahh damn, was going to ask if you where UK based ahaha

[tawdry tree]

Staebies have by far the tightest tolerances but they are not compatible with the 60HE’s stock plate. They work on the 80HE though but you have to use decent quality keycaps with it.

[marsh saffron]

Yeah I'm from the Maple leaf land

Very nice to be a weed enjoyer out here

Anyone 19+ can own 4 plants without a license

Our license allows us to have up to 79 indoor plants though

[jaunty latch]

ohh youre a vendor too?

[marsh saffron]

Nah, but potentially might look into it in the future

We just grow for the family

[jaunty latch]

sounds decent man, need an new member of the family?

[marsh saffron]

I'll have to pass we have enough as is 🤣

[jaunty latch]

damn 😂 worth a shot

[marsh saffron]

Gonna be a full house come Christmas

[jaunty latch]

No doubt about that

[sacred elm]

holy modding discussion

[knotty iron]

do they work with the 60HE PC plate

[tawdry tree]

No. You’d need a custom plate.

[knotty iron]

word on thbe adaptive stabilizers?

[tawdry tree]

Don’t have them yet. Not sure if they’re slim enough to use on the 60HE.

Most interesting stabs aren’t sadly.

[knotty iron]

i would have to sand it down which is considered damage

[spice apex]

are the stock stabs on the 60he+ any good?

[knotty iron]

module or the 60HE+ prebuilt

the prebuilt has clip ins

[latent nacelle]

Hello guys, a perhaps strange question, but does anyone know if it's possible to soda blast the Zink Alloy frame and have it "clear" without paint?

[devout totem]

Soda blasting might not be abrasive enough to remove the paint. Maybe a chemical peel or sand blasting then polishing process

[radiant plover]

I'm currently looking at the 60he module, geon raw he and obviously lubed stabs for an optional sounding and feeling build, but any opinions on what case would be good for it? I want it to thock well.

I think the holy60 looks nice but i doubt it sounds actually good though..

[devout totem]

How well it thock can be subjective. For my 60HE: Optimum case, PC plate with friction mount silicone layer, silicone caps on the standoffs, no screws, foam pad that came with module not the optimum case pad. It sounds heavenly

[sacred elm]

forget thock

[radiant plover]

soundcheck?

[radiant plover]

is it not doable on a hall effect really? idk about sound profiles but on the surface thocky ones sound the most pleasant to me

[sacred elm]

not really doable

[devout totem]

Unfortunately I don't have the equipment nor the setting to give you any good recordings

[sacred elm]

become clack enthusiast

[radiant plover]

i'll watch some clack propaganda then i guess

[tropic urchin]

clack enthusiast > thocky enthusiast

3.5mm travel is best travel 👀 @sacred elm

[sacred elm]

be careful 3.5mm causes carpal tunnel syndrome

your hands will hurt

What class you playing first arc

[calm pulsar]

thinking on witch vs mercenary (or whatever it was called)

would be down for some knight or paladin type class too, but seems none like this in early access

[calm pulsar]

what about you

[tropic urchin]

I’m debating blood mage or monk to start, everything looks great so it’s been tough to narrow it down

The crossbow mercenary also looks really fun

[calm pulsar]

yeah ngl when I saw monk with a staff but with some magic elemental abilities I was like wtf is that one of those classes that are not yet available 😄

IM IN

[tropic urchin]

May the Jade pros ever be in your favor

[jaunty latch]

cant wait for mine to arrive soon, whats the lubing like on them from stock? or is it worth not even trying and lubing them myself?

[tropic urchin]

I’m running mine stock (I’ve lubed too much already), the stem looks pretty good stock, but if you wanna open them up I’d lube the springs and probably call it a day

Overall pretty good stock lube job

[hybrid cairn]

????

[sacred elm]

those who know

[hybrid cairn]

sarcasm?

i dont get it

[polar girder]

lol enjoy

I’ll wait until it’s free

[polar girder]

IYKYK

[hybrid cairn]

i wna know too ;-;

[polar girder]

About what?

Getting carpal tunnels

[hybrid cairn]

nvm ive been enlightened on the subject

das pretty funny

[tidal spade]

Why the fuck does my keyboard wobble on my desk

TOFU CASE

like wtf is going on

[split dagger]

Mine dose also lol always has

[stone flax]

make sure the feet are level

[hybrid cairn]

make sure your case is completely flat on yyour desk, if the case isnt warped (it probably isnt but hey who knows) then your desk might be warped / not perfectly level and flat through its surface

[marsh saffron]

Yeah my desk can cause my tofu to wabble from certain angles

Thin desk moment

[radiant plover]

man i really cant tell a difference between sound checks like 95% of the time, i just dont have the ear for it..

[old pier]

how does the poron vs silicone plate foam sound?

[vast moth]

I’m looking to get a custom/aftermarket keyboard case for my brother for Christmas only thing is it’s for the Wooting TWO HE, does anyone happen to know any aftermarket cases that are compatible?

[signal ridge]

none i think

[vast moth]

:’)

That’s such a shame

[fluid ravine]

Note : "The silicone pad gives a more muted experience of the sound profile by lowering more mid frequencies and creates shorter, snappier sounds. The foam pad mutes more of the higher frequencies creating more emphasis on 'thock'."- Wooting

"Although poron should mute higher frequencies, silicone lowers the mid frequencies which could mean that if the switch is neutral or low pitched then it should stay low pitched but more quiet vice versa with high frequency i presume which is why its more muted"- The Thackson

I wrote this at some point already

[old pier]

Thanks

Anyone know what these are included with the tofu redux?

[hollow heart]

How does having heavier keycaps affect your keyboard, ie ceramic or metal. And does increasing the spring rating completely resolve that or does higher spring rating and heavier switch have any downsides?

[stoic hound]

just wanna ask cause im new with this keyboard . Where i can buy clicky switches for wooting and keycaps i have wooting60

[sacred elm]

no clicky switches

[stoic hound]

what would u recommend

[sacred elm]

jade pro

[stoic hound]

where i can buy

[sacred elm]

gateron.com / aliexpress / amazon

[stoic hound]

thank you

[sacred elm]

also geon raw he, they are cheaper than jade pros

[stone flax]

geonworks raw he

raw he

by geon

geonworks

geonworks raw he

[stoic hound]

thank you i check them

[tropic urchin]

Did someone say Jade pros

[sacred elm]

[polar girder]

Yeah inside the case

There’s like little steps

Put then on there

Inside around perimeter

[old pier]

ty

[narrow berry]

just got my jade pros and tofu redux. waiting for the pcb 🫡

would killmat be too overkill? or should the stock foam and tape mod suffice

[reef oar]

foam and tape should be fine

i'm theorycrafting a custom 60he+, don't know which gateron switches i want though

i like the look of the maxes so i'm leaning towards those

[narrow berry]

i’ve never built a keyboard before and just from audio clips I was torn between the pros and maxes

[sacred elm]

W decision that you didnt get maxes

[narrow berry]

ty 🫡 also the default stabs should work with them right

[reef oar]

yeah i did hear a couple bad things about the maxed when researching

[sacred elm]

Yep

[narrow berry]

can’t wait to use it for work

[reef oar]

think i'll get pros in retrospect

people don't seem to like the maxes

shame

[narrow berry]

join me

[reef oar]

saves me $16 i guess too

[narrow berry]

can put that towards key caps

[reef oar]

it'll pay for half a coiled cable

[fluid ravine]

@hybrid cairn

[hybrid cairn]

wsg bro

my guy what happened to your finger

are you okay?

[fluid ravine]

Finger kinda bled cus I was setting in volleyball

It's slright

Nothing bad

[hybrid cairn]

ahh gotcha

[fluid ravine]

Very smool cut

[hybrid cairn]

did ur nail dig into it?

or did some skin friction its way off

[fluid ravine]

Kinda yeah

[stone flax]

shiny boob

getting shinier

[fluid ravine]

Hehe

EMBRACE THE SHINE

[hybrid cairn]

anyways very satisfying, optimum right? carbon plate and geon raw switches?

[fluid ravine]

Gmk 80082,Cf plate, and Geon Raw HE

[stone flax]

raw he raw hraw arhawhe

[hybrid cairn]

yknow i see why mj was talking about thhe shiny boob

cause 8008 and shiny cause ABS i think

[hybrid cairn]

veryyy satisfying

[fluid ravine]

You asked me abt smth on how the sound goes through pe foam or wtv

And I explained it as a filter

So I'm just showing you a demo

[hybrid cairn]

ye then u sent me da vid

[hybrid cairn]

thank you :D

[fluid ravine]

Np

Want me to do a full sound test?

[hybrid cairn]

sureee im down, id listen to a board like that any day

[fluid ravine]

I can do friction pad no alpha and friction pad and no alpha but pe foam

It's pretty deep

Geon raws with cf on my board are full of highs

So mids are now boosted since highs are lowered

[hybrid cairn]

deep, he board, sighhhhhh i wishhhhhh

[hybrid cairn]

yeahh, effect of PE foam

[fluid ravine]

Well compared to how I usually have it

[fluid ravine]

Yup

[hybrid cairn]

fair enough

[stone flax]

bru just run no foam or dampening

no cap

[fluid ravine]

I usually am

[hybrid cairn]

simply have a megaphone next to your board at all time both sides

[fluid ravine]

But I'm just doing this just for the sake of blank

[hybrid cairn]

:DDDDD

[fluid ravine]

Ik running no case foam and no alpha

[hybrid cairn]

you dont have to if its too much of a hassle

i can understand it well enough thanks to the vids you sent :D

ty for those btw

[fluid ravine]

For anybody that wanted to like ceracoat or anodize it
Here you go

Yes I got bored while my internet is out and took of the accent piece

No optimum case had been harmed 👍

[summer sandal]

What yall use to change the colour of the brass on the alumaze? I was thinking about using vinyl, would that do the job? Want to go for a clean black n white theme

[stone flax]

.... 😭

[marsh saffron]

unless you wanna sand and paint just wrap it with vinyl yeah

[fallen pecan]

imagine wooting in the ying63 forged carbon shell

[sinful cedar]

any1 EU that does modding services for the wooting60he

[polar girder]

So hot

[quiet bay]

yeah their case is sexy but only compatible with their own

[dry rune]

Any cheap mods for the 60he to sound better? Also does like every keycap set fit in straight i have never modded a keyboard

[stone flax]

60% ansi iso normie bottom row

[dry rune]

Is the tofu case good because I don't like the stock black plastic one

[stone flax]

its not bad

[dry rune]

Ok

[stone flax]

its a non abs traymount that can optionally come with a brass weight

[dry rune]

Should I like lube them or do a tape mod or foam whatever

[stone flax]

tune ur stabilizers

[flat cobalt]

I can’t wait for the cosmos

[marsh granite]

Anyone know any good stabs? The ones that came with my 60he don't sound the best

[marsh saffron]

Try tuning them

Stock stabs are fine just need tuning/relubed

[marsh granite]

already tried

i dont have any lube either

do I just buy anything that 205G0 from amazon

[marsh saffron]

Probably won't be authentic krytox but that's what I always do

Worked just fine for me so far

Id also suggest dielectric grease for the stab wires

[stone flax]

?

"already tried, i dont have lube"

so u didnt tune

[stone flax]

no

get from vendor

[fluid ravine]

Oh they got lube alright

[hybrid cairn]

if i didnt know that was intentionally im not gna lie from far away it looks like the board if covered in dust

[hybrid cairn]

pause

[fluid ravine]

[hybrid cairn]

oh yeah btw ive decided to spend like close to 200 on cerakeys

[fluid ravine]

200?!!!

[hybrid cairn]

ye

[fluid ravine]

Wait y

[hybrid cairn]

cause cerakey sound good

[fluid ravine]

No like

[hybrid cairn]

and im curiouus as to what cerakeys on the TTC KOM rgbs gna sound like

[fluid ravine]

Why did it cost that much

[hybrid cairn]

and rgb shiny

[fluid ravine]

I don't remember it costing that much hollup

[hybrid cairn]

well normally itd be like 100-150

maybe 160

but theyre releaseing this novelty dragon set

and i want it

and the set is like

54 bucks

so that on top of normal cost makes it close to 200

[fluid ravine]

I thought it'd be around 140

[hybrid cairn]

it is at base, but shipping and taxes and allat

for a full set

but im getting 2 split sets + novelties

maybe a homing

and thats in the 170s

shipping and txes

makes it getting close to 200

on keycaps alone

[flat cobalt]

lol

[fallen pecan]

a wob cerakey is $125 in china

[hybrid cairn]

they make a wob cerakey?

[fallen pecan]

lots of colors

[hybrid cairn]

ngl i dunno was wob is

[fallen pecan]

the dragon mod set is $39

[hybrid cairn]

ah ye that

more expensive in the US

[fallen pecan]

wob = white text black caps

[hybrid cairn]

makes sense ig

[fallen pecan]

white on black

[hybrid cairn]

oooo, ye im doing white blanks, black dragon novs, and black spare pieces

tho ig it makes sense itd be more expensive here

[fallen pecan]

~$165 for the set before taxes

[hybrid cairn]

noice

for me its like

174 i think?

no shipping or taxes

such is life ig

[fallen pecan]

These are the colors

[hybrid cairn]

seems like all the same ones they have for the US

good to know im not missing out on options :D

[fallen pecan]

only wob is $125, others are $130

[hybrid cairn]

ahh

rn theyre doing a small sale for wob here too

theyre also 125 in US

resst are 140

[fallen pecan]

Two tone is $121

[hybrid cairn]

ooo intteresting

i dont think they sell two tone for here

[fallen pecan]

And this board caps included is $151

[hybrid cairn]

you gta buy em seprate

[hybrid cairn]

that one for us is 159

so not too big of a diff

[fallen pecan]

NA is caught up if they're already selling the dragon mods

[hybrid cairn]

well its coming out soon

but i think theyre limited

and wdym caught up?

[fallen pecan]

means theyre selling the latest stuff and not a month or 2 behind

[hybrid cairn]

are we usuually a month or two behind in cerakeys sales??

[fallen pecan]

usually any chinese release will be a month or 2 ahead of the western release

[hybrid cairn]

in general or js cerakeys in this casE?

[fallen pecan]

like nuphy for example, the air75he is in pre order stage but it's already been selling for a month in china

[hybrid cairn]

ahh gotcha

guess they gta make some money before shipping the stuff off? idk

[hybrid cairn]

are you also a cerakeys enjoyer?

[fallen pecan]

nah i just keep up with the news

[hybrid cairn]

gotcha

anyways thats pretty neet

js goes to show that we basically import everything sigh

[marsh granite]

do you have a link

[flat cobalt]

I think the One Plus 13 is another case as well

[random hull]

prob a dumb question but some of these painters tape talk about residue-free removal up to 4 days after placing, now obviously you'd have it on a pcb for longer. just curious if this means anything in use, what after these 4 days, it starts to leave residue? i dont know if this is something i should look at. lol

[devout totem]

I used this one instead, it leaves no residue
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08563Q5ND

[random hull]

hmm will see if i can find something similar around here then

i guess the wider the better? makes it easier?

[summer sandal]

Yeah makes sense, I don’t want to completely ruin the brass either

[jaunty latch]

@tropic urchin question, what stabs do you use with your jade pros? I’ve seen some people say stock but others also saying the tx ap’s

[random hull]

does this look good then, i thought any painting tape would do but then not all of them say they dont leave residue, and this one atleast does

[jaunty latch]

Frog tape is good but it’s expensive for what it is, you should be able to get masking tape from like the local shop for less than half the price

I use frog tape but that’s because it’s what I already have, I wouldn’t buy it just for this

[random hull]

so i did consider that but then theres stuff like safe removal up to x days and apparently it may leave residue after that?

im not sure how that stuff works but was trying to avoid that since i dont want that to happen i suppose

like i saw one linked here but then it said removal 4 days residue free, not sure if this is something i need to be wary of even but yeah

[jaunty latch]

Realistically , there may be a small amount of residue but atleast from my experience, you’ll only be adding more tape on top of other tape, never really taking it off as it helps with a nice sound and you won’t want to go back to stock. If there is any residue, it won’t cause harm for your pcb

[random hull]

hmm okay

yeah i figured if i neeed to get back to the screws or something i need to get that tape mod off right

otherwise yeah i agree

[jaunty latch]

I mean, the other day I had mine on for over 2 weeks and then opened it up to change my plate, no residue and it peeled away nicely and then I actually ended up putting the plate screws over the top of the tape mod in the end so it doesn’t need to come off (unless I decide to do different amount of layers)

[random hull]

i see, okay thanks for your thoughts, i wont keep too much mind on the whole residue thing then

[worthy rover]

did you cut holes on tape layers for screws?

[random hull]

did you do 3 layers or something? i want to try the polyfil stuff underneath too. its all first time for me, but in a video i saw about it it sounded nice

[jaunty latch]

I used a tooth pick to poke a hole through yeah, and then threaded the screw through

[jaunty latch]

Yeah 3 layers in tofu redux with their foam and 1 layer(bigger one) of the stock wooting foam, stock plate and switches different key caps and it sounds like a vid I previously posted (search my name)

[spice apex]

my wooting has been created 🙏

[tropic urchin]

I’m using knight V2s, you don’t technically need new stabs, but I wanted to make it more custom and I loved the clear housing + gold wire

The TXs work too if you get long pole

[jaunty latch]

Cool thanks very much

[tropic urchin]

If you’re lazy and don’t wanna get new stabs you can just get geon spacers if your default stabs get the jade side pop up going

[random hull]

i found this random bag of polyfil in house, how much would i even use to fill up the 80HE case lol

[jaunty latch]

only reason why i was looking for new stabs is ive had my board for over 2 years now. so theyve lost a little greace due to cleaning any dust and some being taken away

[tropic urchin]

You’ll need to lube your new ones anyway (I managed to find mine prelubed and wire balanced which were more expensive, but means I didn’t have to do anything )

[mint burrow]

will optimum tech keycaps get an iso? or they not mentioned this

[random hull]

does this sound normal? lol what a crappy vid 😒

[glacial wind]

sounds like a normal stab to me

[glacial wind]

yes they will, they said they're adding them to the kit now and soon all future optimum tech keycaps will include iso

[random hull]

the desk made it sound bad i guess

[glacial wind]

alright hardest part of mod site is almost done. Have all the switch data entered including some that were missing including ttc ones. Need to finish color coding some filters and more quick select options though

[sacred elm]

👀

[glacial wind]

ideally each sound test column will link to individual full soundtest recordings for 80he and 60he, but making those soundtests will come with time, will just focus on the initial popular recommendations + lekkers

but entire table is searchable and sortable for every column which is nice

[tropic urchin]

Looks very nice

[random hull]

cool stuff 👍 very nice

[valid plover]

Aaaaaaaa i cant remove it even with jeweliers pliers

[glacial wind]

annoyingly i think a lot of info from milktooth store is wrong on some switches cause i found conflicting info on korean sites selling same switches

either that or swagkey has the exact same switch but in a different mold which would be even more confusing

[tropic urchin]

Titanium switch puller arrived and this feels actually pretty nice, surely beats what I was using 😭

[glacial wind]

Yeah that wuque puller is goated

[tropic urchin]

Yeah the default Wooting puller is going in the trash now, appreciate the rec sno 🫡

[chilly mural]

Rip default puller

Need a keycap ouller before I throw it out too

[fallen pecan]

the gateron 2 in 1 is pretty handy

[tropic urchin]

Default isn’t bad for keycap puller but it’s terrible for switch pulling

[random hull]

when i was talking about tapemod with someone here they mentioned there are a couple of areas i shouldnt get any tape over other than the cable connector part?

[tropic urchin]

Sander did a video on it and everything was covered but the connector for the JST cable

Depending if you have an 80

[random hull]

hmm okay, yeah then ill just roll with that. yeah this is th e80

[tropic urchin]

He did a good job showing how he did it so I’d follow the vid

https://youtu.be/2gnstQCvHSA

[random hull]

did you do 3 layers too

[tropic urchin]

I debated doing it, but I got lazy and didnt wanna keep making the cut out so i ended up leaving the PET film as my tape mod

[random hull]

ahh fair enough

[tropic urchin]

the film already on acts as a tape mod so idk how much more the 3 layer will sound

[random hull]

yeah i wanna wrap this up with the tape mod and hopefully the polyfil, i have no idea how much of that to put in there though

yeah thats true , it kinda serves the same purpose

[tropic urchin]

its not as bad as I thought it would be if you need to take it apart again to get at something

but getting the JST connector in the first time took me like 10 mins even with the angle sander mentioned 😅

[random hull]

yeah kinda why i wanna do it from the start

but i didnt evne test the pcb yet

rofl

😓

[tropic urchin]

I took mine apart to make it easier pulling my old switches for Jade Pros, but the JST connector wasnt too bad the second time

i wouldnt sweat it too much

[random hull]

yeah maybe i should just assemble the entire thing and see it working

i hope i get the spacebar before my return window expires lol

[tropic urchin]

ye its worth getting it up and running

80HE goated fr

[random hull]

yeah i really want to start using it 😫

[tropic urchin]

the one thing i am very interested in, is getting new plate materials

that could be tech af

[random hull]

when i wrap it up with the tape mod and polyfil i hope to revisit the switches in a year or so and see how that has developed, theres constantly so much progress on that front it would be nice to see if i can get a good upgrade without paying too much

but plate would be cool too if we get options therer

[tropic urchin]

We currently have brass and carbon fiber options off aliexpress so far, I am kinda tempted since I think the 80HE plate currently makes it a little more sound dampening from 60HE since they have a steel plate

[random hull]

oh we do? cool stuff, i didnt know

[calm pulsar]

agreed

removing caps is super fast with the default one

but the switch puller part broke for me after a while lol

[calm pulsar]

this is the second most influencing thing after the switch

I'd say

[tropic urchin]

When I was pulling my Jade gods I swear to Christ I almost broke it on the first one lmao

[tropic urchin]

I’m debating trying brass but I’ll need to hear it first

Steel would go hard for pros

[calm pulsar]

not sure about brass but steel would be loud af, louder than even alu

bruhh my hardcore ssf char in poe2 is stuck in a zone I entered, that causes a crash, so basically I can just delete this char, rip

[tropic urchin]

That’s rough

I made a witch to go for blood mage and I feel so weak

WASD is lit af tho

[calm pulsar]

yeah wasd is awesome

[tropic urchin]

What do you think about carbon fiber for pros maybe

That’s another one, but unsure how it would affect the sound profile

[chilly mural]

just do wood

[tropic urchin]

ok buddy

[vapid cedar]

whats the difference between the tofu60 2.0 vs just the tofu60 redux

[stone flax]

meow meow meow

i think.... im going to do tape mod

[stone flax]

one isnt compatible with wooting

[vapid cedar]

do you perchance know which one?

[stone flax]

mayhaps

[vapid cedar]

could you perhaps drop the infu?

[stone flax]

2.0

[vapid cedar]

thank you kind person

[clever wharf]

random question if i use my coiled hyperx cable with wooting 80he is it bad for delay or should i stick to my stock usb c cable that camewith

[tropic urchin]

id probably stick with the stock wooting cable, other 3rd party cables if it isn't 100% the same could probably cause some instability

[vapid cedar]

what switches should i buy for my build?

[tropic urchin]

what sound profile are you looking for, for your build

[vapid cedar]

hmmm let me think

[tropic urchin]

If you want a clacky ish build id go for Jade Pros/RAW (RAWs will be a little cheaper), or if you want a deeper sound profile then Lekker V2s are prob your bet

[vapid cedar]

hmm alright, i was thinking of more of a deep click sound

thanks for the insight

[clever wharf]

i see, okay thank you

[tropic urchin]

Sander has some videos on the official wooting YT that goes thru alot of the most popular switches if you're interested to see how they sound on different case materials

[vapid cedar]

oh i see, i will definetly look at that video

[tropic urchin]

the new Jade Genty switches might be up your alley if you want a combined deep clack

[vapid cedar]

man there is so many to select from, it honestly seems impossible to pick

[tropic urchin]

dont look at key caps then 🤣

[vapid cedar]

oh noooo

🤣

[tropic urchin]

nah its a fun experience tho even if theres alot of options to choose from

you going for 60 or 80?

[vapid cedar]

60

im not really into the bigger boards and ive been using a 60% for about 5 years

[tropic urchin]

should save you some $ then on switch amounts

[balmy tiger]

Guys I need help should I buy the classic wooting60he but get another keycaps than the classic or should I go all out and get the module and l45 v2 switches but the case is the hard part it’s either the blue alumaze or the optimum, aswell as the keycaps I think it’ll be anything good from amazon. (Suggestions is much appreciated)

[balmy tiger]

I forgot to also say if I go with the blue alumaze I’m think of blue keycaps but the optimum something that has the same color of the case but actually have letterings on the side of the keycaps what do you guys think?

[tropic urchin]

Ocean blue Alumaze?

[tropic urchin]

https://drop.com/buy/drop-dcx-sapphire-keycap-set#signupv2 a blue like this would look pretty sick with the ocean blue alumaze

[balmy tiger]

Yepp

[tropic urchin]

I really like the Ocean blue over the new Optimum case

its just way too gray for me

[balmy tiger]

Don’t get me wrong it’s nice but with the bit of gold on the case it kinda ruins the white if yk what I mean

[tropic urchin]

doesnt have to be that particular set, but it was particularly for the blue color

[balmy tiger]

It’s like I either go all out with color and fun or keep it simple and chill

[balmy tiger]

Yeah I get you but idk bout it cause I never bought a keyboard that is that expensive and never changes keycaps on my keyboard soo idrk

[tropic urchin]

id say take some time and evaluate all your options for key caps would be my best advice

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/ id also browse this link collection and take a look at some of the different key caps you can get

it'll probably take you a day or two to fully go through, but hopefully it gives you some ideas for what you'd like

[balmy tiger]

Yeah it’ll definitely give me alot of ideas but anyways thank you so much for helping

[tropic urchin]

Let me know what you end up going with

[silk gull]

i have the glorious lynx silent HE and they work just fine on the wooting boards, tho anything with tactility kinda defeat purpose of hall effect

[oblique laurel]

Went to go switch out my keyboard case and one of the screws is stripped bad, anything I can do?

Tried the rubber band, tape but nothing works

[slender wind]

anyone know where I can find good cherry iso keycaps? for the 80he

[slender wind]

to get it out if its that damaged you could try hammering lightly a torx or allen key in the screw, if that doesnt help you need to drill with a small hardened drill and destroy the screw

you need to exchange the screw anyway but be careful to not damage the keyboard and not put too much pressure onto it

[rain oar]

y

[hollow heart]

If I want to get cerakey s what should I look for in switches?

Or should I get switches I like and get higher rated springs

[tropic urchin]

I have another keycap rec if you go alumaze: https://wooting.io/product/wooting-take-control-5-sided-dye-sub-pbt-keycaps?Language=ANSI+United+States&Color=Ocean+Blue

[twilit flame]

good custom for 60he?

[stone flax]

wdym?

[twilit flame]

keycaps

[stone flax]

what about them?

[twilit flame]

I need good one

[devout totem]

How good do you want them to be?

[calm pulsar]

medium good

[devout totem]

Alright, medium good...how about sound preference?

[calm pulsar]

creamy

[worldly igloo]

Guys which switches re best for valorant/fortnite any suggestions

[devout totem]

Medium good and creamy, we can work with that. What profile would you like?

[stone flax]

thats not the original guy

😭

[devout totem]

I know hoping op is reading

[potent wedge]

Can Wooting Detachable USB-C Coiled/Straight Cable Set be used for Wooting 80he?

[quiet bay]

yes

[flat cobalt]

Got my walnut keycaps in

[polar girder]

That’s sick

Nice

[flat cobalt]

They’ll go perfect with the Cosmos I hope

[crystal pagoda]

any good keycaps set with proper kitting accomodates for iso

[worldly igloo]

Guys which switches re best for valorant/fortnite any suggestions

[naive meteor]

Whatever you think sounds the best

[flat cobalt]

Just get the Jade Pro and call it a day

[crystal pagoda]

i refuse your question

[quick plinth]

any plans for collaboration on 80HE cases aside from the official wooting offerings?

[stone flax]

you mean outside of the two cases already spoken about

one of which is being sold?

https://kbdfans.com/products/gt-80-case

[quick plinth]

not sure how far back I'd have had to scroll to find that, but thank you

[radiant plover]

does the geon.works site ship from korea?

I'm trying to get the raw he switches from somewhere but I have no idea where to get them most optimally from to finland

[hybrid cairn]

an aluminum case for more money than the zinc one

interesting

looks pretty nice but those lil brass things i dont like

[flat cobalt]

There’s 2 versions one with and one without

[hybrid cairn]

im talking about the strap thing on the side

badge removal ive seen

[stone flax]

atleast it doesnt peel lol

[flat cobalt]

You can remove it as well

[hybrid cairn]

ik but then one side js has an indent at the bottom

im being pedantic about it but its the little things

[hybrid cairn]

wasnt it only the white one that was peeling? and they did say they were tryna fix that

[flat cobalt]

[hybrid cairn]

yeah ik, im js not a fan of it

that lil nub

and if i remove it theres an indent at the bottom

if it was in silver or they sold a black screw in plat to make it flush id like it more

[flat cobalt]

That’s fair

Yeah I wasn’t gonna get the 80HE until this case got announced. I find the stock Wooting cases ugly personally

[hybrid cairn]

i suppose its an opinion thing. although the zinc case isnt the most astonishing case design on this planet its clean, has some nice lil details, heavy, and sounds good

[flat cobalt]

Yeah small things that impact us differently for sure; just glad this case came out in time

[barren wasp]

just got gateron jade pros and they are life changing

how can keyboard manufacturers like nuphy have gateron jade pro keyboards for cheaper than a wooting keyboard with lekkers?

[hybrid cairn]

fair fiar, i mean if youre gna spend hundreds of dollars on a board you dont wna lose out on something, yknow?

[tropic urchin]

welcome to the marbly church

[hybrid cairn]

cause the software is what costs that much, not the board lmao

[flat cobalt]

Chad

[sacred elm]

because nuphy is not as good buddy

[barren wasp]

makes sense

[sacred elm]

btw lekker v1 clears your jade pro

🔥

[tropic urchin]

bait used to be believable smh

take your anti carpal tunnel switches and leave

[polar girder]

Then don’t buy case

Ez

[opal hawk]

Hey — I am modding my 60he for the first time, just lubed my new switches and now I wanted to use the carbon fiber plate I got from KBD fans with my Tofu 60 redux. I’m noticing there aren’t the same sort of places to screw in the plate, and the foam from the rooting between the plate and the pcb won’t fit.

1. Am I missing something? 2. Is it okay to not use the foam?

Here’s a pic

[polar girder]

Yeah o think I might have to get pros

[sacred elm]

lmao i tried lekker v1 today just for science, keycap is dancing on it on all sides

[tropic urchin]

has the church of clack converted a thock enthusiast

[polar girder]

No

The school of better fucking switches has tho lol

[radiant plover]

guys is there any case that has a sound difference to the tofu 60 redux that is worth to buy?

max 100€ more

[polar girder]

I’m just tired of scratchy wobbly lame up and downstroke sound

[radiant plover]

or is tofu just worth it for the price

[polar girder]

Most aluminum tray mount in that price range will be fairly comparable

461E or optimum case are alternate options tho

Tofu is a solid deal tho

[opal hawk]

Anyone?

[polar girder]

Solid value case if you want aluminum and did the aesthetic

[polar girder]

I do t totally understand what you wrote but you need to screw the plate to PCB

find the stand offs

And yes you can skip the foam if you don’t want it

[opal hawk]

The plate should’ve came with stand offs?

[radiant plover]

would the 461e even sound discerneably different to a non-trained ear? my current tofu with v1 lekkers sounds ass, most likely due to the lekkers but still

[opal hawk]

I guess that’s what I’m missing?

[radiant plover]

its my only custom so i dont hear that well the differences

[polar girder]

You can use it non-tray mount

[radiant plover]

and what would that mean practically?

[polar girder]

No PCB on aluminum

No screws

Softer

I haven’t used the 461e but it’s a neat mounting system

For the price

[radiant plover]

alright

is it possible to make a 60he thock in your opinion?

[polar girder]

No

HE can’t thock

You can help it

[radiant plover]

man

[polar girder]

But it don’t thock

[radiant plover]

thock tickles my brain tho..

clack doesnt

but

it would clack tho

right..?

with geon raw he's

[polar girder]

What

Yeah

[radiant plover]

the 461e

[polar girder]

I mean there’s only so many variables

Mount style, switches, case material, plate material

Foam, silicone or polyfill or lack there of

Go lekker v2 if you want a decent “thock” HE switch

It’s not thock

But it’s not clack

Stabs and shit

Just keep buying shit and trying it out until it sounds ok

[radiant plover]

oh if i would just have the money for that

[stone flax]

nope black peeled aswell

[radiant plover]

just to make sure, gasket-mounting (rubber-gasketmounting in the 461e's case) is just superior to tray mounting in sound?

and it just makes it sound softer

[hybrid cairn]

??? why havent i heard about that before

[radiant plover]

since personally i just hate the metallic sound that my current traymounted build sucks imo

[polar girder]

Sound is subjective

[radiant plover]

true

[stone flax]

arent you new to all of this?

[hybrid cairn]

idk bout new but ig i havent been keeping up with the news

[radiant plover]

but it just sounds softer, i doubt many people prefer a harder or metallic sound?

[stone flax]

many things in this hobby are preference

but most traymounts suck lol

[hybrid cairn]

thats wild, even under normal conditions? are they doing anything about this?

[stone flax]

returns and replacements id assume

[hybrid cairn]

have they said theyd fix the issue?

[stone flax]

idk lol im not them

[hybrid cairn]

;-;

[polar girder]

Look in to the optimum case and 461e case

@harsh dove owns both and maybe can share insight

[radiant plover]

i would def get the optimum case but it's not in stock tho

[polar girder]

But he’s also clack guy

[stone flax]

coulda gotten a salvation

:<

was on sale for 110

[polar girder]

Sheesh

Just giving them away

[radiant plover]

280 normally 110 on sale? jesus

beautiful case too

now im just sad that i didnt know about them before

[polar girder]

Such is life

It’s bouncy tray mount

NBD

[paper bloom]

I got the optimum case

[paper bloom]

Theres 2 ways to mount this, tray or friction

[polar girder]

With what switch

[paper bloom]

RAW HE 60g

I am rn running the venom60HE with 50g RAW HE switch

[stone flax]

💪

[paper bloom]

Ive ran the wooting

With the 60g

Installed with SW V1

[polar girder]

Closed bottom switch detected. Opinion rejected.

JK

[paper bloom]

im rn running typeplus

[polar girder]

SW vs Typeplus who wins

[paper bloom]

There is little to no rattle with the typeplus

While the SW has some

[polar girder]

Oh fk

I’m cooked

[paper bloom]

V2 has improved wobble

[polar girder]

I have v2

[paper bloom]

But if you up it with the typeplus

[polar girder]

Not installed yet

[paper bloom]

It aint cooking

LOLL

[paper bloom]

• i got told the typeplus does not fit with the wooting Plate? i am unsure of this

Cuz im rn running the venom

[stone flax]

depends

yikb's for stability knights for ease and feel

[paper bloom]

Na Typeplus has almost everything you ever want

Even for ease and feel

[stone flax]

they dont

too thick

[paper bloom]

Yea

[polar girder]

Oh ok

Yeah I need Wooting compatible

[paper bloom]

Custom plate

[polar girder]

Same here

But TX AP didn’t work

So idk

I trust nothing

[paper bloom]

The Durock shld fit same with the

SW

[stone flax]

do you not have a custom plate

[polar girder]

I do

It didn’t work

[stone flax]

is it designed for plate mounts

or screwins

[polar girder]

Hypekeyboarss

[stone flax]

or for wooting

[polar girder]

Whichever one I bought idk

I think it was plate mount for plate mount

[stone flax]

yeah thats why

get knights ig

[polar girder]

I got them

V2

Black and clear

[stone flax]

then ur set

[polar girder]

Just need to put on

And having adaptable FOMO

Ok yeah

Should I buy jade pros then

To replace black knight

I wanted all black but I’m kind of just over BK

[stone flax]

just buy black jades

if u want to keep having a dark switch

[polar girder]

But the cool spring

Yeah black jades are basically black

Esp since I run rgb off

https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-full-pom-low-profile-magnetic-jade-pro-switch-set

lol

https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-magnetic-jade-gaming-switch-set

I never saw these

[cedar gate]

My stabs are no longer bone dry

I also used 6mm screws to do a proper 2 o ring burger mount instead of my previous 1 o ring burger mount

[fluid ravine]

Mines still forever will be dry

[cedar gate]

I got left over lube?

[hybrid cairn]

whut

[hybrid cairn]

i didnt know they made jade box stems

or a pom low profile

low profile magnetic pom

but no normal pom

wild

[flat cobalt]

Get the pros

[fluid ravine]

🙏

[polar girder]

But not black

Reeee

[radiant plover]

What other affordable cases are there for the 60he besides the 461e that can be friction mounted? if i got it correctly tofu can only be traymounted

the 461e has no good colors on stock D:

[polar girder]

Optimum case

I think that’s it

Unless you o-ring friction mount tofu or other

[radiant plover]

the module cant be o-ring mounted right?

[crystal pagoda]

just get venom

[tidal frigate]

It can be oring mounted

[quiet bay]

my raws are estimated to come monday...on the day i get home at 9

[glacial wind]

Tofu can be fully friction mounted too, only thing you won’t have grounding but honestly that’s more a precaution than a need

Wooting isn’t selling the friction mount separately yet though

[flat cobalt]

I’m gonna steal them

[flat cobalt]

Honestly I don’t blame you for using the Black Knights really pretty switch with the gold specks on the top housing

[quiet bay]

nooo i've been waiting 10+ days for em

[cedar gate]

Has anyone tried a low profile wooting I'm curious to see what it would look like

[flat cobalt]

Jesus these look gorgeous

Awekeys 'moon landing, lunar maria' full metal keycaps set

[glacial wind]

i love that both gateron and nuphy sell the same low profile switch but have totally different specs listed

[flat cobalt]

I’m excited for my friend to get his Nuphy 60 HE

[glacial wind]

gateron one is definitely the wrong specs since it says 3.5mm still

i still have no idea if stickyrice v2 is 3.5mm or not because korean websites list 4mm

meanwhile milktooth lists 3.5

and totally different materials stated between the two listings for the same switch

[flat cobalt]

On the nuphy site or in general

[glacial wind]

on their own website

gateron has totally different specs listed on their official website vs nuphys website

[flat cobalt]

Oh wtf lol

[glacial wind]

that's unfortunately common when i was entering the data for the switch table

a lot of sites have potentially wrong info conflicting with each other lol

can only just take a guess to figure out which one is right based on what we know

[flat cobalt]

Do you reach out to ask or you just confirm the measurements yourself

[glacial wind]

usually just cross reference with videos and from people who have measured/looked at it

and it's still not 100% because stuff like material people don't exactly check

like one site is telling me sticky rice has pom bottom, another it's nylon

[flat cobalt]

You really love keyboards huh Sno lol

[glacial wind]

i do, but i have to do this stuff to finish the wooting mod website lol

otherwise even I'm not digging in to try find the obscure materials of these things

[flat cobalt]

You think I could paint the PC Plate

[glacial wind]

i wouldn't but you could lol

[quiet bay]

maybe vinyl wrap

actually

nvm

it's floppy

[flat cobalt]

I’ll use black sharpie

I don’t want a white plate

[quiet bay]

actually nvm it's kinda rigid till u bend it

vinyl wrap possible 👍

[flat cobalt]

Might try that thank you

[cedar gate]

Interesting will it have an affect on the analog function?

[cedar gate]

The 80he one is awesome

[devout totem]

No, you still have the full switch travel

[cedar gate]

Nice

[cedar gate]

That in zinc 🔥

[scarlet rock]

is the silicone friction pad out yet

[glacial wind]

Hrm 2 new osume kits coming out

with the raw HEs being 3.4mm, am i gonna need new stabs or will the stock stabs work for me

[quiet bay]

Using a raw he on my spacebar rn and it works fine with my stabs (not stock but pretty much the same)

[cedar lynx]

alright, i just dont wanna wait a month for my case to come in just to realize i need to swap my stabs out

[glacial wind]

Worse case you can throw in geon stem spacers for like $5 and it turns any normal stabs to long pole

So don’t sweat it

[sinful cedar]

any1 EU doing modding services for the wooting?

[placid salmon]

is there any good modding services for wooting in asia ?

[hybrid cairn]

[flat cobalt]

Idk saw that pic of Reddit lol

[hybrid cairn]

[wispy tapir]

Is there a Solution for muting the hallow Sound from the middel of the 60HE?

[spice plover]

[spice plover]

[hollow dagger]

What's the difference between normal stabs and LP stabs?

I don't know what 'Pole' is longer in the stabs

Have googled this before but it didnt really help explaining

[glacial wind]

long pole stabs are just designed for switches with a travel of 3.5mm or less roughly speaking

so the stem movement is fit more to that length to avoid any keycap wobble issues if you have loose keycaps

you can convert a normal stab into a long pole stab with things like geon stem spacers which just slot on top of the stabilizer to add an extra 0.5mm to it

[worldly igloo]

Guys which switches re best for valorant and fortnite ?

[glacial wind]

doesn't matter much. If you want most stable stem then ttc magneto pom/rgb are the most stable, but very loud high pitched clack sound. Jade pro / raw he are a tad less stable but still extremely stable and much nicer sound

but neither are going to be game changing in valorant or fortnite - it just means they're more stable on the press/release a little

[balmy tiger]

What do you guys recommend 60he or 80he? (First ever wooting)

[hollow dagger]

Ohh, I get the idea because that's what everyone has been echoing in here, but how is it physically different? is it the stem? the wire?

Or is does it depend on the designer of the specific model?

Because I have the SW knight v2 Long pole stabs and I have durock v2s and they look similar? I can't tell the difference

[edgy totem]

depends really. if you like modding and having more options and prefer a more compact keyboard, 60. if you like arrow keys and function keys, but know also youa are limited in options when it comes to custom, case, and others(for now) then go for the 80

[glacial wind]

literally just the stem length is .5mm different

it's why all the people who go out and buy entirely new stabs just for that issue are a bit silly, because you can just add in stem spacers and be good

[hollow dagger]

what

no wonder I don't notice any difference

lol

tbh I followed the echo chamber of getting the LP sw knight v2 over the stock ones. honestly they're much better!

I wouldn't say it's a night and day difference but I do like it more

[glacial wind]

it's mostly cause people don't lube properly

the stock ones require a proper lube job to work well, knight v2 work with even a light bare lube job

[hollow dagger]

yeah you're prolly right. I tried syringe lubing the stock stabs but can't really get the same sound as I do with the sw knight

probably have to dismantle everything and start from scratch

[glacial wind]

syringe is only kind of a mini fix that doesn't always work

[hollow dagger]

but I'm happy with the knights I don't think it's worth it for me to start over with the stock

[glacial wind]

ideally if you wanted perfect stabs on stock you'd disassemble, lube the wires with thicker coat of xht-bdz, then housings with 205g0 for example

that and balance wire if it wasn't already balanced

but most people aren't going to do that so they never really get 'perfect' stock stabs

[quaint oak]

What's the keycaps for wooting 80he?

[random hull]

@harsh dove question, since i saw you mention the polyfil mod, i have not done this but do you aim to get a complete layer of polyfil in there so that you basically cant see the case bottom anymore? not sure how much i should be using. or is it more something like this?

[flat cobalt]

Okay imagine it with the Cosmos instead of Black Snail @polar girder

[flat cobalt]

[hollow dagger]

Xht bdz is basically dielectric grease right?

[hollow dagger]

Not a huge fan of the aesthetics but good work!

[glacial wind]

it's much thicker than other greases

[hollow dagger]

I used Molykote EM-50L on mine

[glacial wind]

yeah xht-bdz is kind of way thicker than all of them

it's why it's the 'magical cure' for older style stabs

but it's also why you don't really use them for tighter style stabs because it's so heavy

[hollow dagger]

It's kind of counter productive for a lube is it not?

[glacial wind]

it's for the wires

so you get no ticking

basically a little bit of xht-bdz equals a lot of molykote em50l/dialetric grease

[flat cobalt]

they sit a tiny bit higher sadly
