[random hull]

this part, i just cant get that not lifting up

unless im stupid and just overlooking something completely here

[sacred elm]

Cant help with that one, I dont know much about 2he. maybe others can help with that

[delicate valley]

Sounds good.

As for the Magneto Hall Effect Switches, assuming they're linear, yeah?

[sacred elm]

yea

all wooting compatible switches are linear

[split dagger]

Guys is this the official gmk keycap website? https://gmkkeycap.com

[tropic urchin]

I’d try to line the foam back up to match the natural curvature of the bottom case (how it was stock), it should 100% line up with minimal issue @random hull

[delicate valley]

Oh interesting.

[tropic urchin]

Mine rested a little bit up, but once you put the top case in and screw it, it should fit with PET film and stock foam

[random hull]

i really dont know anymore. i have to be doing it wrong but i have no idea what, i just dont see how this sits flush without being lifted on the spot i pointed in the pic

[sacred elm]

keep in mind that those ttc switches sound mid compared to jade pros or geon raws, they are very loud and super clacky

[delicate valley]

I was thinking, maybe I can settle on a Wooting 80 HE and get a separate numspad on the side. Have you ever looked at something like that?

[delicate valley]

Oh for sure. Gathering up info for now, both tabs open, will be doing closer research to make a decision.

[sacred elm]

Thats great idea, overall 80he is better keyboard, even stock lekker v2 switches should be fine. id say get 80he with separate numpad and see if you like stock switches

if you dont then get other switches

[polar girder]

Huh?

[jaunty latch]

@tropic urchin @sacred elm sounding pretty creamy 👌🏼 I assume it’s the stabs which is why my shifts sound different?

[polar girder]

Magnetos sound mid compared to jade pro or raw?

Sounds like a pretty subjective opinion

[sacred elm]

well yea

[tropic urchin]

Case material, plate material and the foam used (80HE uses a silicone gasket mount for example) will vary the sound profile for your keeb

[jaunty latch]

Nah I just mean one of my shifts sounds different to the other

[tropic urchin]

For the 80HE the pc plate and silicone dampens the sound quite a bit vs the 60HE steel plate and the various sandwich pads they use

[sacred elm]

I dont know why is it shocking that i said that magnetos sound worse than jade pros

[tropic urchin]

Having properly lubed stabs helps eliminate rattle or noisy keys if that makes sense

[sacred elm]

sounds great

[jaunty latch]

Ahh okay, so once i get round to lubing my switches they sound the same?

[delicate valley]

SPeaking of, I can see there's a plastic vs a Zinc Alloy. That's quite a price difference, though. Am I really losing out from one to the other?

[sacred elm]

nah, plastic is fine

[delicate valley]

Sound profile not heavily lost?

[sacred elm]

zinc is just more premium

[delicate valley]

I also see that I can just order the module? Will that include the case, dampening, etc?

[sacred elm]

yes

[delicate valley]

Just no switches?

[sacred elm]

you can choose case, keycaps, switches

and keycaps

[tropic urchin]

Magnetos sound bad stock, but if you lube them they sound a lot better

[sacred elm]

plastic has 3 different versions

[spice apex]

is your shift key making a high pitched tapping sound if you very lightly press your finger on the left and right edges of it

it shouldn’t be very loud

[jaunty latch]

no not really, ill record just the shifts and show you what i mean

[spice apex]

ok

some of my keyboards they just sound different for no reason, but sometimes it’s because they need lubed

[jaunty latch]

Any way to change the sound on my space bar too? Would that just be lubing the stabs?

[tropic urchin]

If your space bar sounds hollow, you can put some foam underneath it

[sacred elm]

spacebar sounds fine

[reef oar]

you can lube the stabs but you can also lube the housings of the switch itself

[sacred elm]

your right shift is very muted

[jaunty latch]

sounds more "pingy" than the rest of the keys

[tidal frigate]

Propably too much lube

[jaunty latch]

yeah i though that too

[tropic urchin]

Space bar doesn’t sound bad tho

Mine used to sound like a gun shot

[jaunty latch]

havent lubed anything myself, its all stock

[reef oar]

gotta flip the spacebar to be gigachad

[sacred elm]

it sounds good, you should hear my spacebar, shits like a weapon

[jaunty latch]

idk if these keycaps will fit

i guess im just not used the the muted sound of the resk of the keys and then the ping of the space ahaah

ill get used to it

[reef oar]

just ordered my 60he+ module, hopefully it doesn't take as long as the board itself took last time

to ship

[sacred elm]

get spacebar foam

[tropic urchin]

I’d try experimenting and see what you like/don’t like for different key caps

[sacred elm]

its cope but slightly helps

[jaunty latch]

ill look into it, ty

[reef oar]

flip the spacebar.

i know you want to.

give in.

[jaunty latch]

i did, i dont like the angle of it

just changed it back

[reef oar]

[spice apex]

jelly tape is better

[tropic urchin]

I have no idea what that is, but if it works it works

[spice apex]

if it’s really bad you can do jelly tape and foam

[jaunty latch]

where does space bar foam even go?

[tropic urchin]

Underneath your space bar

Or in it rather

[spice apex]

@jaunty latch your spacebar and left shift sound like they have less lube on the wire then the others

im not sure if you did anything with them yet

might just be factory lube

[jaunty latch]

i havent done anything yet, its stock but the board is also 2 years old

so could be naturally worn out

since i do use those 2 stabs more than the others

[spice apex]

could be, those keys are more frequently used than the others

[jaunty latch]

any stab lube recommendations? think ill leave the switches as is because i like the sound

[spice apex]

you can get a syringe of krytox 205g0 on amazon for like $15 usd and you can just take the keycaps off and spew some lube inside the stem of the stab

use tweezers to pull the stem out of the housing

[jaunty latch]

and then just coat it? like how much though?

[tropic urchin]

@jaunty latch here’s what mine sounds like with poron foam

[tidal frigate]

Dielectric grease

[jaunty latch]

very nice ngl

[spice apex]

if you don’t want to take it apart, you can just leave the drop of lube inside the stem and it’ll spread itself out after using it

[tidal frigate]

Eww your spacebar stab is ticking

[spice apex]

if you want to take it apart, you can follow taehatypes guide on lubing stabilizers

[spice apex]

that isn’t ticking

that’s the switch

[jaunty latch]

would this work? https://www.amazon.co.uk/GPL-205g0-Keyboard-Lube-Performance/dp/B0BTC5WBMG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=OBLKTWEKBMOL&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yYEksuay9rIVYCWMWzgqfPMp1GJ2Ejo9__ypXGIvuSTnXQG7iI4XUCnRAcPVA0JuPwI3S_H_ZY-DeOqiSlijwanwc6Pc5bkpzUG9PeJFDi_q-KOpxW9lnoueKjy2bOZhyXuC2Ojqhfm9YuxdoIKi_CrrMBS11BdEqsi6eSpyStQFIIWFmm0zjgqE8HiQywbM-mPfDj8yz4xQ8Frh1q7zMh9SR9yLgKqpBTrP5uhccZI._W8DccFzq8zyJZ2-vknTt6SBhtTnrqpWUskWdmSW2qs&dib_tag=se&keywords=krytox+205g0&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1733778351&sprefix=krytox+205g0%2Caps%2C93&sr=8-3

[spice apex]

yes but a container like that would require you to take it apart

[jaunty latch]

cant find in syringe form on uk amazon

[tidal frigate]

My 80he dosent sounds like that

[spice apex]

let me see if i can’t find something for you

[spice apex]

because it’s different switches

[tidal frigate]

....

Its fucking ticking

I can hear it

[sacred elm]

no you dont

[jaunty latch]

i can get dielectric grease pretty easily?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=dielectric+grease&crid=1Z02BP5PU5R56&sprefix=diel%2Caps%2C2199&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_4

[reef oar]

gaslighting 1v1

[spice apex]

https://a.co/d/8vEKwHE

[tidal frigate]

Yes i do

[spice apex]

does this work for you?

[jaunty latch]

😦

[spice apex]

dialectic grease works but i’ve heard that it doesn’t last very long

(my work keeb) (i sent this like 10 minutes ago)

[spice apex]

ah maybe the U.K. has a ban on syringes being delivered then

[jaunty latch]

£22 though

[reef oar]

i'm a hater of opaque cases. sorry.

i like the keycaps though

[spice apex]

it was my first keyboard, i’ve had it since 2018

[reef oar]

sounds nice

[spice apex]

thanks 🙏

[jaunty latch]

wrist rests worth it? never really been a fan of them but heard people mention how much of a life saver they are

[reef oar]

not really

[spice apex]

i kinda just use them because i got used to them and now it’s weird without one

[reef oar]

depends if you're typing all day nonstop i guess

[spice apex]

they don’t do anything really

[reef oar]

like a coder or something

gaming, no

[jaunty latch]

i work in IT but mostly manual labour, with the odd laptop work

[delicate valley]

Funny you say that, I've always had plush wrist rests. Not sure if I should get one as I'm going from a full size keyboard to 80HE

[jaunty latch]

so probably not worth it then

[spice apex]

i’d say get the small jar of krytox and order c3 equalz stabilizers with it

[jaunty latch]

are they screw in?

[spice apex]

comes with a soulmate kit (holee mod, pcb foam and pad, wire foam)

[spice apex]

yes

i think they’re 1.6mm

[jaunty latch]

i dont have a 60he+ just the 60he, so need to be plate mounted

[sacred elm]

thats very expensive, you can buy these lubes from wooting for 24$ and just use random syringe i guess

[spice apex]

ah you can use durock stabs then

[reef oar]

people use molykote on stabs

krytox is more switch lube

[spice apex]

i can’t remember the name but some people use krytox xht bdz lube for stabs

i remembered the name almost

[reef oar]

yeah i def don't doubt it, i'm sure it's fine but molykote is kinda specialized for the stabs

[spice apex]

i’ve never even heard of it until a week ago

[marble sierra]

Ask a local crack head, many of them in the UK 🤣

I walk through town and see half a dozen

[jaunty latch]

tell me about it, where i live is a nightmare

[marble sierra]

I'm in Lincoln and the inbetweeners was right... it's a sh*t hole

🤣

[jaunty latch]

ohh yeah, my mate went to uni in lincoln it was awful when i visited

im nottingham so its pretty bad here too

[marble sierra]

Used to work there, hated every day of it

[marble sierra]

Yeah the UK is just gone at this point

[jaunty latch]

could be worse, could be me... i work in birmingham

or atleast i do atm

[marble sierra]

Until you're run out

[jaunty latch]

nah i work for a company so working at one of our new sites getting it set up

[random hull]

@tropic urchin its like this on the front

[spice apex]

I FUCKING HATE BIRMINGHAM

[random hull]

not much, but it feels like that happens because it doesnt land flush on the back/left side

[spice apex]

ITS A FUCKING SHITHOLE

[jaunty latch]

tell me about it @spice apex

[marble sierra]

Well the whole country is at this point

[jaunty latch]

tru

[spice apex]

https://tenor.com/view/birmingham-brittish-brit-pov-sonder-gif-12430170985001984944

[tropic urchin]

Me hearing NA cities, but it’s UK blokes going at it instead 🤣

[marble sierra]

I wanna move to USA eventually tbh

So much more potential there than anywhere else in the world

[tropic urchin]

The English accent will get you a little farther

[jaunty latch]

same here, especially for my job, could earn almost 4x what i do now just by moving to america

[marble sierra]

Yeah I heard the women love it over there, might be an easy way to get a visa 😂

[jaunty latch]

become a passport bro 😎

[tropic urchin]

You probably wanna go somewhere else for that 💀

[jaunty latch]

columbia i heard is good this time of year

[tropic urchin]

Here’s how mine looks

As long as it’s narrow and is solid I think you should be fine

[untold citrus]

So if I've got what I read so far right:

Jade Maxes suck and frankenswitching them won't solve the problem

[sacred elm]

they are dogwater

[jaunty latch]

i cancelled my order and ordered jade pros and i dont regret it, but then i also dont know what the maxes sound like. but yeah the maxes do have fitment issues

[sacred elm]

but i heard @tropic urchin likes jade maxes a lot!

[tropic urchin]

2-3 months behind the curve there kiddo

[untold citrus]

I saw someone frankenswitched the maxes with some jade pros but it kept the white stem

[tropic urchin]

They’re more muted, but are dog shit for smoothness

[untold citrus]

makes me sad

im tryna be like miley cyrus ya heard
tryna get the best of both worlds

[tropic urchin]

Jade maxes are only bad if you compare them to another switch, if you don’t know the grass is greener on the other side you’ll think it’s fine

For their price they don’t compare to pros which is a giga L

[untold citrus]

would they be better than stock lekker60s

look nice, sound good, feel awful

[tropic urchin]

For price probably not

[untold citrus]

hmm...

[sacred elm]

if you dont care about rgb get jade pros

[tropic urchin]

Jade silent probably are a better switch for that sound profile

Not silent, but kinda has a similar sound but not fully transparent

[untold citrus]

im trying to be a 1337 gamer with the rgb but feel is important enough to cut the rgb down a couple lumens

[tropic urchin]

If you want good RGB + clack raws are probably your bet

[sacred elm]

have a look at geon raws maybe if you really care about rgb

[spice apex]

what’s wrong with jade maxes

[tropic urchin]

For me the Jade pros were a little better than RAWs but some have stronger affinities for the Jade sound profile than others so

[sacred elm]

they arent smooth

[tropic urchin]

RGB: S tier, Smoothness: D, cost: F

[untold citrus]

good summary

[tropic urchin]

There’s your TL;DR

[sacred elm]

overall: dogwater

[spice apex]

so is there jade, jade pro, and jade max?

[untold citrus]

cant lube em or frankenstein them to fix them either apprently

[tropic urchin]

Jade gaming and Jade Genty (silent)

[sacred elm]

jade, jade gaming, jade silent genty (they are not silent), jade pro, jade maxes

[spice apex]

i ordered whatever is on kbdfans. com

[tropic urchin]

Jade gaming is Jade pros with box stem (why?) and Jade genty are their ‘silent’ switches, but sound similar to maxes

[spice apex]

so uh

did i get the bad ones

[sacred elm]

screenshot?

[tropic urchin]

If you got the normal jades they’re fine, but the pros have better tolerances + spring fwiw

[sacred elm]

kbdfans have all of them

[jaunty latch]

Theyre the standard jades right?

[untold citrus]

regular jades

[tropic urchin]

Those are fine, but not most up to date

[spice apex]

not the pros

😔

i didn’t realize there was other types

[tropic urchin]

You’re better off with old tech than maxes so 🤣

[spice apex]

i thought it was just the 1 kind

[sacred elm]

pros feel and sound better but mess with rgb

[tropic urchin]

They came out on September/October so they’re fairly new

You can still return them for pros if you want or should be able to

[spice apex]

should i just order the pros and put the regs in a random HE keyboard

[spice apex]

oh didn’t know that

[jaunty latch]

Ohh I got some free tester keys with my jade pros (none of them HE which I find odd) but listen to these horrible things

[random hull]

hmm yours has no gap at all, still really dont understand why mine wont sit flush

[tropic urchin]

I’m assuming you just ordered them?

[jaunty latch]

🤮

[spice apex]

they just got delivered today

[tropic urchin]

Try seeing if you can return them

[jaunty latch]

if you got them from same country you could always send them back and get some different onces?

[tropic urchin]

Then no harm no foul

[random hull]

even in their own vid the foam is slightly lifted so i dont know if its that either

[tropic urchin]

Me with all box stems

[spice apex]

not sure if i’ll be able to since it shipped from china

[sacred elm]

its fine, gap is pretty small and not noticeable

[spice apex]

might cost too much for it to be worth it

[tropic urchin]

Only thing I can think of is that you’re not applying enough force to keep them together while screwing it in

[random hull]

is it normal tho, as long as its normal idc

[tropic urchin]

Try seeing their return policies online

[random hull]

i think not having a screw in the bottom middle certainly makes it harder not to have this happen but yeah

[tropic urchin]

Are you missing any screws?

[random hull]

nope

but there is 5 in the back 2 in the front i think?

nothing to force down the center front parts

[untold citrus]

so the pros mess with RGB, as in discoloration or like a slight or major brightness dip?

[tropic urchin]

I’d try screwing them in again, but making sure each part is firmly in place. You should be fine at that point

[tropic urchin]

Whites look a little more blue and yellows are neon green ish

[jaunty latch]

ill send a video of my keeb

[random hull]

i had my dad have a go at it, it still happened. but yeah ill just have to live with it i guess

it seems it wont get any better

ah well

[sacred elm]

this and red,pink, purple colors are darker

blue, green are fine

[jaunty latch]

So green looks green, but the white looks a little bluey/greeny

Can show other colours if you’re bothered

[tropic urchin]

As long as you squeeze it together adequately you should be fine, if it doesn’t shift or anything then you’re fine

[untold citrus]

Show me a red pls and I appreciate everyones assistance <3

[tropic urchin]

The upper and bottom casing will kinda look like that when they meet together

[random hull]

alright then

but i guess the tape mod was never the issue so ill do that again tomorrow, just keep the corners clear and settle with 2 layers

[tropic urchin]

Part of it is the design and the other part of it I think is just not holding it down enough while screwing it down

[random hull]

yeah you are right

guess the design could have been better on that front :/

[tropic urchin]

Just gotta know what you’re looking for 🙏🏻

[jaunty latch]

i brought longer screws for mine and did burger mod and 3 layers of tape mod. the longer screws deffo help

[random hull]

oh really? interesting

[jaunty latch]

obvs i dont have the same case but it might help you

[random hull]

what is burger mod?

[spice apex]

do you guys think it would be worth it to go through the return process and getting pros instead?

[tropic urchin]

60HE mod

[random hull]

ahh okay

[jaunty latch]

ohh is that not done on the 80?

[tropic urchin]

Can’t hurt to try

[random hull]

it was the 80 yea

[tropic urchin]

Worst case they say no

[tropic urchin]

Don’t believe so

[jaunty latch]

might have to pay for return shipping and shipping here, but thatll still be cheaper than just buying pros outright? unless you can find someone to buy the standards off of you and then use that to pay for the new ones?

[jaunty latch]

ahh fair enough, did not know that. im just giving out false info rn ahah

[sacred elm]

if you bought from kbdfans you will need to send switches in china, they will tell you to pay shipping

[tropic urchin]

Gotta start somewhere

[jaunty latch]

surely the bottom o ring would help with flex though right?

[spice apex]

honestly money isn’t a problem so i can just get the pros and use the standards on a future build

[jaunty latch]

mr money bags over here, step aside big baller about

jkjk

https://tenor.com/view/xrd-exrd-crypto-btc-eth-gif-23801255

[tropic urchin]

Not a bad move either

[untold citrus]

Last two questions if anyone knows:
Can I take the top housing of a standard Jade and put them on a Jade Pro?
Can I take the springs out of a TTC KOM and put them into a difrerent HE switch with the same travel? (Would this even be worth it?)

[tropic urchin]

For the standard jade on jade pro you might get more stem wobble

[sacred elm]

you can swap top housing but stem wobble will get worse

[untold citrus]

Id have to shell out for maxes if it were that serious eh

[tropic urchin]

Jinx buy me the new geon RAWs

[untold citrus]

not worth for that i see

[jaunty latch]

anyone know if they do a brass 60he plate?

[untold citrus]

ill likely end up using the geon raws more than likely

[spice apex]

do mm top housings work on them?

i have extra mm housings

[tropic urchin]

RAWs are still a good pick for the clacky profile 🙂

[sacred elm]

im sorry but whats mm😭

[tropic urchin]

RAWs are what got me to ditch the maxes so def go RAWs

[high sphinx]

@tropic urchin what did u mean by the new geon raws ?

[quick beacon]

yes

[random hull]

[frail shoal]

Those are nice

[polar girder]

lol wtf is that

Octopussy looking ahhh

[austere creek]

but when can i buy some

[random hull]

true..

[polar girder]

So curious the sound and feel

That’s wild

[polar girder]

Oh shit that’s quiet

Ok you have my attention

Dang

[random hull]

yeah very nice

[violet fulcrum]

I’ve asked AEBoards and they said it should be ready around this month for the first run of these!

But no precise timeline frame yet

[spice apex]

it’s a co that makes parts of switches

this is what my wooting will be

just waiting on the pcb

@tropic urchin are there any really big differences between the pro and base jades? or is it just the tolerancing?

as i have it currently, they arent wobbling much at all

if it is just the tolerancing ill probably just lube these this weekend

[tropic urchin]

Improved tolerances (less stem wobble) and improved spring rebound

They’re similarly priced as OG jades, but if you already have them and like them probably not a huge deal to upgrade to pros from them

Pros have a longer spring which I like quite a bit

[spice apex]

is it the same 35g (30g?)

[quiet bay]

😩

[fluid ravine]

shiiiiiiiii

[fluid ravine]

i ordered so much shi for myself

like belated self bday gifts with my bday moni

[flat cobalt]

How do they feel

[fluid ravine]

vice versa

[fluid ravine]

yup

[fluid ravine]

i havent receive it yet 😭

it's coming in this wed

[flat cobalt]

Let me know how you like it

[fluid ravine]

oka!

really excited

im receiving the mouse tmr doe

so mouse first, glasspad, 4k dongle, then the mouse skates for the glasspad after christmas

[quiet bay]

wtff

I was thinking of getting the lamzu maya during black friday

but i was like nahh

bro getting a whole setup makeover tho lol

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

mouse setup makeover

shiiiii

upgrades left and right

[quiet bay]

bro even got a glasspad too

[fluid ravine]

watch me spend moni on audio

like a boom arm and a new mic LMAO

white rhode audio setup

white rhode podmic and white psa1+

lmfao

jk maybe

my cheap ass boom arm is starting to squeak

[quiet bay]

maybe..

[fluid ravine]

like crazy

but idk if i want a elgato LP

it's on sale for $75 rn

[quiet bay]

ooh

[polar girder]

Lol you got a glass pad?

[fluid ravine]

but then the question would be wear would i place it?

[fluid ravine]

yup ordered!

[polar girder]

Which one

[fluid ravine]

2 more days :D

sp004

[polar girder]

Oh damn

Nice

[quiet bay]

bro makes me want to upgrade lol

but nah i must resist

[fluid ravine]

my friend got me a Mikasa v200w btw lmao he's gonna give it to me at school tmr

[quiet bay]

WHAT

DAYUM

that's like a 100 dollar ball

[fluid ravine]

one for him and one for me

[quiet bay]

sheeesh

W friend

[fluid ravine]

you can get a authentic one on amazon for $60-68

i checked with him and it's 100% authentic

great deal to pick up

[quiet bay]

I dont play volleyball that much anymore

but

I did pick up badminton

[fluid ravine]

nice!

badminton is fun

[quiet bay]

fr

[fluid ravine]

really fast paced if you really play 👀

[quiet bay]

yee i love the fast pace

[flat cobalt]

Wait are you getting a PMM mousepad or no? Idk if I’ve asked already

[polar girder]

Sp004 was the one I was looking at

Pretty small tho

[polar girder]

Nah

I’m not a collector

Already have an XXL Saturn pro

[fluid ravine]

i found the zowie gsr se pretty big enough for me, really enjoyed the size of it

sp004 is slightly bigger in uh length i think

[polar girder]

Tempted by glass tho

[fluid ravine]

so i think ill be super happy with it

[flat cobalt]

Same for the anime girl ones

[polar girder]

LMK what you think

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[fluid ravine]

for sure

[polar girder]

Tempted to just throw it on top of Saturn pro and see what happens lol

[fluid ravine]

need the obsidians air pros that i ordered to put it to the real test

cus criminal told me that normal ptfe can die pretty fast in like 2 weeks

so ima need those skates soon amazon 😭

[quiet bay]

glassworks is kinda tempting lol

[flat cobalt]

This one looks cool

[fluid ravine]

never thought i would see the day come with all these upgrades

[fluid ravine]

that's fire

shiiii

[polar girder]

Hmm really?

[quiet bay]

thats cleann

[fluid ravine]

yea

[polar girder]

PTFE seems popular for glass pads

[fluid ravine]

oh well it is

but xraypad obsidians are like hardened ptfe

so they last much longer on glass

normal like "stock"/normal ptfe just dies faster if that makes sense

from what i heard

[flat cobalt]

Can I use sapphire skates on glass pads or is that a nono

[polar girder]

Oh yeah gotcha

Yeah idk

I think that’s a nono

Yeah idk I mean sapphire is harder than glass. But also flat

It’s not cutting it

[quiet bay]

i dont think i'd be able to handle glass pads

I’ll keep using cloth

my wrist might get sweaty

[flat cobalt]

And then sticky to the glass

[fluid ravine]

i will be using my vb sleeves

LMAO

[flat cobalt]

Full on gamer mode

[quiet bay]

improvising is crazy

[fluid ravine]

im in my off season rn so guess i gotta put these sleves to use

i mean im pretty sure these compression sleeves are similar to the ones people use for glass pads

just a hunch

but it's made out of nylon/spandex or wtv and all taht

[fluid ravine]

yurrrr

[flat cobalt]

I’ve been wanting to try one of these

[fluid ravine]

[flat cobalt]

[quiet bay]

glad I never bought anything from glorious

[flat cobalt]

Why is called ice pad

[fluid ravine]

its glass infused in a cloth pad

[flat cobalt]

What kind of pad do you use cloth or glass

whats your opinion on the wooting's wrist rest

i dont ever plan on getting one even with my board on a keebmat

[polar girder]

Obsidian air pro on glass almost seems same as ice v2 on cloth

[polar girder]

It’s fine

[fluid ravine]

interesting

[polar girder]

I’m pondering getting a wrist rest I’ve never used one

Super glide has the XXL in black if I want to full send it lol

[flat cobalt]

I always use one personally

[polar girder]

Oh they’re out nvm

[quiet bay]

i've been curious about Arcane is it good to watch

[fluid ravine]

PLSS WATCH IT LMAOOO

it's so flipping good

[quiet bay]

ok bet

[delicate valley]

Does the Wooting 80HE come with a switch puller btw?

[quiet bay]

yeah a switch & keycap puller

[delicate valley]

Awesome!

I'm worried if I get the default key caps that have a key frame like the TTC Magneto, will the key caps fit naturally, or are there some kind of plastic line or shell inside (if you can call it that) that may make the switch unusable?

I don't even know how to phrase the question ^^;

[quiet bay]

They’ll fit its still a cross stem just with a box around it

[delicate valley]

Okay cool. First semi customized build I"m ever doing. Lots to learn. I've seen key caps have like this plastic pbt line that protrudes around the stem on the inside.

[quiet bay]

yeah thats normal

[delicate valley]

Awesome. I'm excited to get my hands on this keyboard.

[mossy pagoda]

is this a pc plate

from kbdfans any1 know

[fallen pecan]

etched fr4

[flat cobalt]

Yeah the coolest one in the world

[fluid ravine]

that's fr4

[long nacelle]

better than breaking bad

[spice apex]

fr4

i have the same plate

[autumn creek]

Tofu60 2.0 Case – KBDfans® Mechanical Keyboards Store

https://kbdfans.com/products/tofu60-2-0-case is this compatible

[fluid ravine]

Nope

Tofu Redux Yes

[autumn creek]

That sucks

I feel like it should be

[fluid ravine]

how so?

[calm pulsar]

not made for gh60

[autumn creek]

Idk is it not possible to put them together

[fluid ravine]

Nope

Wooting is compatible with universal 60% cases which uses the pcb layout and size of a GH60 like Arcsyko said

[autumn creek]

Okay

[fluid ravine]

Tofu60 2.0 is a whole different board of itself, it's own mounting style, usb port placement, chassis, etc.

[calm pulsar]

yeah and even the simplest thing - usb port is at a diff spot

[autumn creek]

Okay thanks

[amber sonnet]

Hey yall I bought the optimum keyboard and am wondering how to make it sound as thocky as possible, I’m assuming using the included poron pad should help but any other suggestions?

[knotty iron]

Congratulations! Really hope you like the kb. Unfortunately, acoustics is the magnetic switches' Achilles heel

Also quick question, is it possible to attach a grounding/metal sponge on the alumaze similar to the optimum case making it esd safe?

That way the friction fit mod can just work without the need for a screw?

[wispy tapir]

Tape mod did a lot on mine, Maybe try this first

[severe finch]

hello may anyone send me a low profile keycaps for 80he by anychance ?

[flat cobalt]

XVX is a popular low profile keycap set brand

[amber hornet]

The ones from Nuphy are quite alright too

[flat cobalt]

And here’s a picture of the 80HE with low profile keycaps if you’re curious

[flat cobalt]

Oh that too they have some as well

[amber hornet]

https://nuphy.com/collections/keycaps?filter.p.m.custom.compatibility_=Low-Profile+Keys

I also really like their designs

[fallen pecan]

they have an upcoming set thats a hybrid nsa cherry profile as well

[flat cobalt]

Their Air60HE looks so clean

[amber hornet]

Idk how to feel about their lp keyboards. They kinda have this "apple vibe" to them

[mossy pagoda]

is it worth replacing stock stabilizers in the 60he

[glacial wind]

not really

only replace stabs if you have an issue with them

[tender heron]

Hey there, not sure if I am right here. I got a spare tofu redux case and want to build a wireless keyboard with it. Are there any useful resources on which pcbs fit the tofu redux? I would like to have ZMK software compatibility - no hall effect needed. Any recommendations?

[ionic breach]

most 60% pcb would work, but I'd recommend just asking in kbdfans' discord instead

[tender heron]

Do they? I wonder most about the USB-C Port and the screw placement. If it's a standard format, what's the specification name for it? Oh and thanks, I will check out kbdfans for it aswell

[severe finch]

can you send me the link by any chance ?

[severe finch]

is this the skyline r2 low profile ?

[flat cobalt]

Yeh!

[ionic breach]

I believe gh60

[flat cobalt]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mt28Cmb

[ionic breach]

look for that

[severe finch]

does it do difference ?

[flat cobalt]

There’s these as well

[flat cobalt]

I don’t know sadly :c

[severe finch]

can i buy it from here it's cheeper https://www.xvxchannel.com/products/xvx-skyline-r2

[flat cobalt]

Yeh! I bought some from them directly last time I got the coral colored ones

[severe finch]

thank you so much

[flat cobalt]

Of course happy to help

[spring storm]

Hey guys, are these the right ones to get? Or the Jade Pros? I took the version with 50 grams

Is 70 the right amount for the wooting 60?

[glacial wind]

either is fine and yes 70 is the right amount

just be aware if you're in US and want to save on shipping i'd buy from aliexpress kdbfans store instead

geon shipping is quite pricy

[spring storm]

I am from Germany

[glacial wind]

ah eu shipping is worse lol

[flat cobalt]

50$ for me

[glacial wind]

you'll get hit by import tax

[spring storm]

So where should I buy from? 😦

[glacial wind]

I'd buy from here instead: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007782574456.html

[random hull]

yea get em there, im in NL and i got them there too

way cheaper

[spring storm]

I also want a alu case? You guys have any recommendations? I saw the Tofu Redux

[random hull]

are these foam spacebar strips stickers? what do you use the ones without holes for, or is it like.. just use to taste?

[glacial wind]

you can cut or use them however

[random hull]

ohh okay, so side filler next to the holes

this is the 4.5U, so i guess if i grab a 7U set i can work with it as long as i cut them up a bit

if they're stickers i mean

[glacial wind]

yeah just cut some holes in the right spot and you're good

[random hull]

alright

[glacial wind]

long as it's not blocking the stem you're good

[random hull]

great, will grab a pair then 🫡

[flat cobalt]

Tofu is nice

[mossy pagoda]

is the fr4 plate not supposed to be screwed to the pcb

or am i just missing all the screws that came with it

[spring storm]

Anything else I need other than the case and the switches?

[flat cobalt]

Mmmm you have keycaps already right?

[spring storm]

can you recommend some clean black / grey caps

[spring storm]

Nah I am looking for some

[flat cobalt]

https://kbdfans.com/collections/keycaps/products/mythril-themed-cherry-profile-keycaps

[fallen pecan]

is this the zinc or pcr?

[spring storm]

I saw that wooting also has a Alu case but it is far more expensive then the Tofu Redux, is it worth the extra price

[spring storm]

Just ordered them, thx. They are prelubed, correct? I hope the 50 gram option feels the best 😄

[flat cobalt]

Got it off Reddit ;3;

[flat cobalt]

Depends if you like how it looks

It’s all preference on the case honestly

https://salvun.com/pages/wilba-tech-salvation

Some people like this one

Others the Tofu and some the Alu

[spring storm]

This one is craaaazy expensive holy moly 300 euro

[flat cobalt]

https://youtu.be/sqcwJ0pBOrg

There’s this one coming out sometime in the near future as well

[spring storm]

This looks also crazy expensive 😂

I just want a black alu case haha

[flat cobalt]

lol Tofu is the most affordable one and looks really nice imo

Unless if you like the look of the alumaze

[spring storm]

Should I add the brass weight and a plate?

Sorry for asking so many questions, I am clueless 😦

[flat cobalt]

I’d get the internal weight bar

And I like the FR4 plate as well

[spring storm]

Okay 🙂

[flat cobalt]

Your keyboard is in ansi or iso the layout?

[spring storm]

Ah

Yeah I have ISO

So the plate will not fit

[flat cobalt]

Ah idk then ;3; about the FR4 plate @glacial wind do you know?

Sorry for @ you

[flat cobalt]

Yeah just ignore the plate it’s a preference thing anyways

[mossy pagoda]

for the kbd fr4 plate is it supposed to be screwed to the pcb like the steel plate?

[flat cobalt]

Yes

You’re just swapping them basically

So 3 would be the FR4

[mossy pagoda]

hmm that’s what I thought but the fr4 plate doesn’t have the standoffs like the steel plate does

i’m guessing they’re supposed to come with standoffs or something that I attach myself but I lost em

[flat cobalt]

It should come with some little double sided standoffs if I remember correctly

[flat cobalt]

Ahhhh

[spring storm]

Just ordered the case and the brass weight, any other mods to recommend other than key caps

[flat cobalt]

You might need to order some then

[mossy pagoda]

you have a pic as to what they look like

[flat cobalt]

You ordered the switches right? The Pro

[flat cobalt]

Let me check

[spring storm]

I got these, someone said they are better

I can cancel the order and get the pros if you think they are better, I fully trust you lol

[flat cobalt]

They’re both really good

[jaunty latch]

youve only ordered a ten pack there btw from the looks of things?

[flat cobalt]

You’re fine with those since the price is better

[flat cobalt]

He has the 7

[spring storm]

No, 7*10 pack

[flat cobalt]

Bottom right

[jaunty latch]

ahh, didnt see that! mb

[flat cobalt]

I think it’s that inside of the silicone

[spring storm]

So now I need keycaps and that’s it right? 🥸

[mossy pagoda]

damn it i don’t have it

[flat cobalt]

I legit don’t remember if I even used them last time

[flat cobalt]

That should be it yeah

[jaunty latch]

i ordered a CF plate off of aliexpress and it didnt come with standoffs either, ive ordered a potential fix so once it arrives ill let you know if it works?

[mossy pagoda]

the only screws i have from kbdfans are these

[flat cobalt]

Just try it without the stands off

I legit don’t remember if I used them or not right now

[spring storm]

You have a recommendation for some high quality ones that feel good? I do no need crazy colours, grey / black something like that

[flat cobalt]

Where do you live again?

[spring storm]

Germany

[flat cobalt]

Check the box it should have came with standoffs

[flat cobalt]

https://monacokeys.de/collections/keycaps

I’d get anything that says PBT

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

You can also scroll down to the EU section here and see other vendors

[spring storm]

Thx, one last thing I forgot is a coiled cable, which one do you think is good ? 😂

Thx for all the help ❤️

[flat cobalt]

The coiled cable is just an aesthetic thing

[mossy pagoda]

got the plate like 6 months ago I just never used it lmao so don’t have the box i don’t think

[flat cobalt]

You don’t need one, but if you want one you can buy one. I’m using the one that came in the Wooting box

[mossy pagoda]

without the standoffs tho if I flipped it upside down everything except the pcb would fall out right

[flat cobalt]

Awww damn try emailing them and ask if they could send some

[flat cobalt]

I honestly don’t know what would happen lol

[mossy pagoda]

yea it falls out lol

the standoffs keep everything above the pcb attached to the pcb

[spring storm]

Got these ones, hope they look good with the black tofu redux 😄

[mossy pagoda]

but im using it without standoffs

sounds amazing tho holy fk

[flat cobalt]

Yeah I like FR4 a lot as well

[flat cobalt]

I’m sure they’ll look really clean

[steep quarry]

Hi i bought a Wooting Two (not he) keyboard back in 2020 and was looking to upgrade the switches and wanted to ask if the "Lekker switch Linear60 (L60) V2" were compatible.

[bronze grove]

No.

Your keyboard uses optical "flaretech" switches, which are no longer manufactured or sold. We have a precious few left for emergency repairs upon request, but not for swapping an entire keyboard.

[steep quarry]

ty for the info

[amber sonnet]

Will do, and how about the switches? Any recommendations on magnetic switches that could give help that sound I’m looking for

[jaunty latch]

what kind of sound are you looking for?

[amber sonnet]

A thocky sound

So far tape modding and using a poron pad is what I plan on doing to help but I’m looking for anything more to add extra thock if possible

[jaunty latch]

well ill send you a vid of mine, ive done 3 layer tape mod, an extra layer of foam from my old case and then jade pros. idk if this is the sound youre after though

[amber sonnet]

Alright I’ll check it out

[jaunty latch]

check your message requests bud

[amber sonnet]

Sounds pretty good, that’s basically what I’m going for

Ill try out the jade pros and using extra layers of tape

[jaunty latch]

try some extra foam too, and if its too much look at getting some longer screws for your case to be able to pull it tight enough while still mounting to the board

[amber sonnet]

Will do, thanks!

[jaunty latch]

no sweat!

[worldly igloo]

guys re geon raw he good?

[wispy tapir]

I will try some Akustic wool in additon to the foam soon

[tropic urchin]

Yes

[worldly igloo]

You've them?

[tropic urchin]

I tried them a little bit, they’re very smooth

[worldly igloo]

oh nice what abt rgb?

[tropic urchin]

I went with Jade pros which is closer to my ideal sound profile

[tropic urchin]

They won’t have the same RGB issues as Jade pros, but you’ll get pretty good RGB with them since there’s no tint to them

Also are clacky too if you’re into that

I’d say for the non box stems, RAWs/Jade pros are the only ones worth buying currently if you’re after the Jade sound profile

[flat cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/benjammins-gigachad-giga-chad-chad-giga-gif-17045906263069769854

[worldly igloo]

Ill order wooting 80he with just case would i need anything else of just seperately order keycaps and switches? do i need anything else?

[worldly igloo]

thats my fav ones i think i need to choose between pro and geon raw

[tropic urchin]

If you’re going module, you’ll just need the case and module if you plan on buying 3rd party caps and switches

[tropic urchin]

I just finished lubing my pros and I love how they sound

[flat cobalt]

Superior to the Geon Raw in every way

[tropic urchin]

I broke them in a little bit playing POE 2

[tropic urchin]

Don’t let MJ hear you saying that around these parts 🤣

[worldly igloo]

ill order just that

and will buy seperetly switches and keycaps

do you reccomend to buy also lub?

[tropic urchin]

You should be good then

[worldly igloo]

nice sound

[tropic urchin]

I bought mine off Amazon, but if you want other tools without going 3rd party then the Wooting ones gives you a bunch of stuff

If you plan on swapping switches I recommend the Wuque studio switch puller

Very nice tool

[worldly igloo]

For how much did u bought lub is it worth it? I mean i dont need it but if i want i can buy lub r? lub aint changing perfomence just sound iam wrong? ty for help anyways Varedis

[worldly igloo]

i dont think so ill swap

[flat cobalt]

Most switches come pre lubed

[tropic urchin]

If you go RAWs you probably don’t need to lube your switches

[flat cobalt]

For reals though

[worldly igloo]

if i go pro better to lube r?

[tropic urchin]

Jade pros I’d recommend it, makes it a fuller sound

I’d get whatever 205g is cheaper for you if you plan on it

That’s what I did anyway

[fossil panther]

Will this switch be compatible with my 80he?
https://deskthority.net/wiki/RAFI_RS_76_C

[tropic urchin]

Sound and sometimes it makes the switch feel smoother

[worldly igloo]

Where to buy geon raw he best i dont know even whats that mean 40g 50g 60g its just weight? or im wrong and which re best btw ill use switches for games like fortnite and valorant etc

[flat cobalt]

50g is a comfortable one for most people

I think the most popular one

[kind geyser]

Hello guys, one ask, is stock keycaps good on 80he? i got Wooting ABS Keycaps, gonna get geon raw he 40g for switches but i wonder if stock keycaps are good or must replace too

[fallen pecan]

keycaps dont affect performance, just swap them out when you get sick of them

[fossil panther]

Just try them, if you dont like them, get new ones

[kind geyser]

oks, ty, gonna give them a try

[fossil panther]

Its weird to me that with keyboard people forget how subjective all these things are…
You don’t ask „what’s the best music“ and expect to get music you actually like.

[kind geyser]

well, it can be subjective but still there will be options which people like most and other options which people just dislike them, ofc it wont be a 100% or 0

[spice apex]

if you’re into keyboards, you won’t like them, and if you’re not into keyboards you’ll probably like them for a bit until you realize there’s better options

[flat cobalt]

Yogrt

[spice apex]

yogurt

[kind geyser]

i'm not into keyboards, i have some hand injuries and needed a magnetic keyboard for see if it can help me a bit with it :D, so i try get the softer pieces

[spice apex]

ah, in that case, if you really want something softer, you could get silicone/rubber keycaps

[flat cobalt]

And don’t forget a soft wrist rest

[kind geyser]

atm i use cherry keycaps and the sharp of the keys hurt my fingers :D, ok i'll look at it, thanks

i got 1 x Wooting Wrist Rest
80 - White

[fallen pecan]

maybe look into low profile caps as well

[keen ledge]

what are good cases

[untold wigeon]

Got a question chaps.

Trying to mod my wooting - done a fair bit, tempest tape mod, change of everything really, lubed etc.

But I’m wondering whether these upgrades will be worth it:

1. Changing to the 60HE+ module to use inside my Tofu Redux, so I can add Durock V2 Stabs.

2. Adding Spacebar and Stab foam

[untold wigeon]

Tofu Redux for 60HE

I swear by mine

Adds weight and allows for a lot of foam + tape mod

[flat cobalt]

Tofu Redux, Alumaze by Wooting, Salvation by Salvun, the Owlab Collab case

[amber hornet]

is there a carbon fiber ISO plate for the 60he (not plus)?

[keen ledge]

do you know any good websites for keycaps

[flat cobalt]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

Scroll down to your country and it’ll have different vendors

For keycaps

[narrow berry]

did yall keep the silicone pad or swap for the poron

[dry rune]

Any eu stores that sells good looking iso nordic keycaps?

Or how do I find good looking from aliexpress

Seems like none are iso nordic or none has ä and ö letters

[tidal condor]

muted TTC in this sound test is probably as silent any HE switch could be

that sounds like a laptop keyboard, nice find

[delicate ridge]

I was thinking about swapping out the stabilizers in my 80he, but I am quite new to this.
Is TX AP Long Pole Screw-in Stabilizers 1.6T good?
I also found some KBDfans Stabilizer Foam Stickers for just 2$ extra. Will this help? Is it necessary?
They also sell spacebar foam at the same place. This needs to be 6.25U and 3.5mm, right?

I am using ISO layout and cherry profile keycaps.

[glacial wind]

don't use the foam stickers. Spacebar foam is good though

for stabs the tx ap is fine, but don't replace your stabs unless you actually have an issue with current ones or just want to replace them for fun

[flat cobalt]

I was using silicone for a while but went back to the poron one

[random hull]

i pressed some buttons. i bet everything sounds the same on these anyway. i hope i get the spacebar soon cause im really curious if that one sounds good. shame its just not possible to test it at all

[delicate ridge]

I don't really like the sound of the spacebar, and I read that these stabilizers were better than the stock ones.

So the stickers are useless?

[glacial wind]

the stock stabs are fine. Don't replace them unless you have an actual issue or you may be throwing $20 away for nothing

the stickers aren't needed, wooting already has them installed

[narrow berry]

2 layers or 3 layers tape mod

[delicate ridge]

So, should I just lube my stock stabs and use spacebar foam?

[amber hornet]

Preference

[polar girder]

0

[glacial wind]

Yeah that’d be what I’d recommend for most folks

See how your stock stabs perform first before you worry about changing anything because the new stabs may not be better

[edgy totem]

if theres still rattle after re-lubing, try this too, some plastic wrap in the stem always does it for me due to wear and tear https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uV-tnLRgjHg

[worldly igloo]

Hey, how do I know that my custom keycaps that I chose for the wooting 80he will be compatible with the geon raw he switches? Could someone help? Thanks in advance

[tropic urchin]

Most should work if they’re cherry profile, unless you have very very specific ones you should be fine

[stray tiger]

Got my Christmas present from my gf early. She got me this sick full desk leather pad and it's so nice.

[leaden crypt]

Hi y’all, my Wooting 60he x optimum and gateron jade switches just arrived, I’m completely new to building / modding keyboards so wondering where to even start, is there any guides or videos I could follow or smthn?

[devout totem]

It can be silenced even more. I’ll post a sound test later

[signal ridge]

does foam mod mess with actuation point?

[devout totem]

Not that I noticed but then I have reasonable actuation point of 0.5mm on most sensitive keys

[stray tiger]

Saw there are some new silent switches about to hit the market.

[empty zinc]

Are there any really good switches to try, I currently use GEONWORKS Raptor HE Gaming Switch

didnt these have crazy wobble? or they fixed it?

No idea. He hasnt said yet, only that they are closer to being silent than what we have so far.

Just FYI since some where just talking about this last night

I don’t even have a twitter lol

[signal ridge]

u guys know any good stabs and tape or foam for 80he

[stray tiger]

Thanks! Yeah could be interesting to see if it's change in production or if changing the rings out makes a difference.

[polar girder]

Oh it’s tactile

Cringe

Cool design tho

[worldly igloo]

guys do you have any suggestions for custom black keycaps?

for 80he

[narrow berry]

is it okay if it feels warm

like on the aluminum case

[sacred elm]

yes

rgb makes it warm

[peak oasis]

is this double shoot

[analog mulch]

keycaps?

[amber hornet]

no its dye sub

[narrow berry]

pbt japanese keycaps from amazon

they are so sweet. got for $15 too lol

[dry rune]

Any eu stores that sells good looking iso nordic keycaps?

Seems like none are iso nordic or none has ä and ö letters

[fringe torrent]

pretty much done for this build now though in the future i might change the switches out for something else since im still using the older lekker 60s

[peak oasis]

thank guys

[hollow heart]

ttc sounds so good omg but 90$ is rough

[spice apex]

damn

i didn’t think they were that expensive

[hollow heart]

unless theres a cheaper spot to find them

[muted fossil]

hi, to achieve creamyness on my 80he, what do you guys recommmend?

ordered geon raw 50g, should i lube them, are they prelubed?

should i replace the stock stabs with different screw in stabs?

should i do painters tape mod?

anything else?

[marsh saffron]

Overlube the living shit out of it

[polar girder]

Saw this on Reddit and almost reposted it here lol. Great work and thanks for sharing.

[muted fossil]

aight bet, both switches and stabs ?

[marsh saffron]

Yep just absolutely fill them with lube

If you think it's too much, use more

[muted fossil]

can i use durex lube

[signal ridge]

ayo

[marsh saffron]

Astroglide works better

[signal ridge]

use ur own lube

[muted fossil]

ok

[signal ridge]

whatever u have at home

[marsh saffron]

In all seriousness "creamy" keyboards are terrible

It is quite literally just overlubed switches

[narrow berry]

my gateron jade pros came pre lubed and it sounds insane still

sort of creamy if you want that

[tropic urchin]

They sound a little better with lube, they have a more fuller sound to them

Maybe I just had a bad stock lube

I kinda went to town on the stem, but holy

[narrow berry]

never built a keyboard before but this sounds insane. can only imagine after lubing. just didn't want to dedicate too much time to it

[tropic urchin]

Enjoy 🫡

[glass blade]

hey guys, just got my wooting 60he module... i wanna throw on my jade switches now but i just realized i dont have any foam padding to put on the bottom of the board.

does foam padding on a tofu board make it sound "thockier" lmao

and is it possible to de-attach everything to add the foam padding AFTER?

[narrow berry]

that is what I did

[tropic urchin]

Adding foam dampens the sound so it will sound deeper and more muted

[glass blade]

gotcha, def a must for this "thocky" feel

i get ripped alot for wanting thock

ive came from every single switch in the past, im tired of loud keyboards

[tropic urchin]

It’s mostly for buzzwords

[glass blade]

bet bet good

[glass blade]

forsure

[tropic urchin]

Is why everyone looks at you like you have 5 eyes and 2.5 noses for saying it

[glass blade]

no doubt 🤣

yeah i need a quieter thock for productivity, im coming from 3 year old anne pro 2.

[tropic urchin]

I think it’s easier to make a keyboard marbly than thocky, but yeah you should be able to do it fairly easily on 60HE since you don’t have a connector

[glass blade]

marbly... never heard of this

gonna look it up

[tropic urchin]

I think silicone foam dampens the most so can pick it up

[tropic urchin]

Best way I can describe it is clacky on full metal

And with Jade pros lubed it sounds like your tossing tiles on a marble floor

[glass blade]

lord i just heard it

gross

[glass blade]

the most thockiest switches from milktooth was the jade max imo

[polar girder]

Bro what

[tropic urchin]

[glass blade]

i compred a million times

[polar girder]

Don’t OD on lube

[chilly mural]

go full clack

[glass blade]

I LOVE THIS SOUND

[tropic urchin]

I’d rather go genty if I was you

[glass blade]

r these on milktooth?

[tropic urchin]

Actually for productivity you might not even notice it

[tropic urchin]

Idk look for Gateron Jade Genty silent switches

[glass blade]

r they hall effect?

[tropic urchin]

Yes

[tropic urchin]

https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-magnetic-genty-silent-switch?VariantsId=10868

[glass blade]

i forgot, i already compared these deep... imo i felt like the max had the quietest thock.....

[tropic urchin]

If you like maxes you might as well just get these for max thock

[glass blade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUu3yvDzwHg&t=356s

i watched this

[fringe torrent]

thanks

[glass blade]

and to me, i heard most quiet thock from the max... BUT i will take in ur opinion

will be a 2nd option

🙂

u could be right

[tropic urchin]

They aren’t smooth feeling which is why I wouldn’t suggest for the price

[glass blade]

ahhh gotcha.

https://www.amazon.com/YIMAGUJRX-Nanosponge-Mechanical-Dampening-Layout（10mm/dp/B0BLTPFDGW?

would either foam padding work well?

https://www.amazon.com/mintcaps-Keyboard-Dampening-Silencer-Mechanical/dp/B0B7B59NNJ?

^ this one would get here tomorrow 👀

but looks a bit cheaper? lmao

they say poron foam is better than EVA.

[tropic urchin]

I’d try both and see which you like more

[marsh saffron]

He wanted "creamy" 80he

[glass blade]

sweet, gonna grab this LE-32 Poron (3mm thick)

we'll see how it goes

[tropic urchin]

Id maybe try to find generic foam fitted for 60HE

[glass blade]

like you guys said i can always add the FOAM later right

[glass blade]

ill look around thank you!

[tropic urchin]

So you don’t have to do any weird foam cutting

Hopefully you find your max thocky board

Without the Jade maxes

🤣

[glass blade]

they r already with me LOL

[tropic urchin]

If you already have em then you might as well use em

Hopefully you don’t notice anything

[glass blade]

oh ima use them, they sounded the most thocky + quiet to me... if i dont like it ill just swap em out for the ones u mentioned

thats the good thing about these wooting modules right

you can always pull em out without soldering

[sacred elm]

forget thock

please

[glass blade]

dont worry abt buzz word

i want quiet thock

:)

[amber hornet]

Finally my spacebar doesnt suck anymore

[glass blade]

sounds nice

[sacred elm]

get jade pros and lube them, they probably arent as loud

@tropic urchin are they?

[glass blade]

im an ocd freak and compared all the sounds a million times

[sacred elm]

sound tests are fake

[glass blade]

from my ears, maxes were the most quiet... to each their own tho

ill mess around with them all

[glass blade]

everything is fake

[sacred elm]

real

[glass blade]

does oiling ur freshly new switches from milktooth make a difference
