or do they already come SOMEWHAT lubed

i just ordered the lube from amazon, but im fucking HYPED to use this keyboard

[tidal condor]

I’d love to hear it, reply to my DM when you get a chance!

[sacred elm]

switches come prelubed

[glass blade]

mmm fuck yeah....

:)

[sacred elm]

but handlubing them can improve sound a bit

if youre not lazy

[glass blade]

got you got you

[glass blade]

yeah i'll lube em all tomorrow, thanks g

[calm pulsar]

just lube the springs

this will have the most effect

[glass blade]

on the switch right?

gotcha

[sacred elm]

yea bag lube springs it will take way less time

[calm pulsar]

and least effort

[glass blade]

new to these terms

bag lube

[calm pulsar]

yeah bag lubing is nice
its when you put all springs in a bag and add a couple of drops of oil lube

and shake

[glass blade]

what the hell

LOL

this is interesting

ill youtube it

[sacred elm]

https://youtu.be/lkMxroMs32Y?si=sXhZw5iz_NZHX_eV

[glass blade]

LOL

perfect thank you

oh my god so i'd have to de-attach all the springs?

[sacred elm]

yes

[glass blade]

is that not harder to do than just single handedly

oiling each one?

[sacred elm]

do 10 at once

[glass blade]

well shit i'd have to take the spring out of the switches

is that not hard to do?

[sacred elm]

you will need switch opener

[glass blade]

lovely

🛒

[amber hornet]

you'd need to do that anyways if you wanna lube your switches

[sacred elm]

youll need switch opener, gpl 105 oil lube, a bag

and youre set

[glass blade]

fucking hell i thought people just dripped the lube into each switch

[tropic urchin]

Nah they’re the same loudness, he’s not after clack

[glass blade]

[sacred elm]

maxes might sound good but they dont feel good

[tropic urchin]

Lubed Jade pros only reduce volume for a short time before they go back to normal, but with a fuller sound

[glass blade]

ugh THE STRUGGLE DOESNT END FUCK

[tropic urchin]

He’s fully committed 🤣

[sacred elm]

you are cooked buddy

[glass blade]

https://www.amazon.com/HONKID-Aluminum-Keyboard-Mechanical-Switches/dp/B08XYXJSSN?

is this good

[tropic urchin]

Just don’t compare the maxes to other switches

Is my advice

[sacred elm]

you might as well just get lekker v2s and lube them

[amber hornet]

expensive

[tropic urchin]

If you want to like them

[calm pulsar]

wait till you hear about frankenswitching xd

[glass blade]

dude i already spent 2 weeks picking out the perfect monitor, went from QD OLED back to IPS

FUCK

[glass blade]

no no.

[sacred elm]

atleast they feel smooth

unlike maxes

[amber hornet]

just take the cheapest switchopener you can find

[glass blade]

Got u

they all do the same

damnit capitalism

[amber hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/comunisto-dogo-gif-15433861177915232836

[glass blade]

thats literally the cheapest 🤣

[amber hornet]

no way

[glass blade]

do i suffer capitalism or go chinese and wait 2 weeks for $9 item!

[glass blade]

stg on amazon

peeps rnt making a profit if they list an item for less than $5

Wait the wooting module comes with foam??

Idk what that keyboard one above it is for

[hard wraith]

Guys I have some big brain shit, I tried to sell my holy60 and jade maxes for like 2 months I couldn’t find anyone in my area to buy it. I think I gonna buy one of those cheap ass HE pcb and slap that thing together and sell it to some kids wanting a new keyboard

[dry rune]

https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005006140335949.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2vnm

how can I know if these work in iso nordic 60he

[hard wraith]

It’s just keycaps

The 60HE can basically use any normal keycaps

[void raven]

If I'm putting jade pros into my 80he do I need to change the stabilizers to account for the shorter travel distance?

[dry rune]

like spacerbar length

[sacred elm]

no

[hard wraith]

60HE uses the most common 6.25U spacebar

[glass blade]

Oh nice u didnt like jade maxes 😭

[hard wraith]

Unless your keycap set is non standard it shouldn’t have a problem

[hard wraith]

RGB isn’t the most important thing on my keyboard. I bought them cuz I wanna try them. Got them off after I bought some Raw HE💀

Now I’m stuck with em in my stock pile of random switches key cap set and random keyboard thing

[glass blade]

Well did u not like them?

I just got em gonna try it out

[hard wraith]

I have the “sticky” key issue just like most people that have them

[tropic urchin]

Try spring swapping the raws with jade max spring

[hard wraith]

I find it kinda annoying after a while

[tropic urchin]

Give the Jade maxes some use in a new way🙏

[hard wraith]

I still gonna have spring swapped maxes laying around tho

[tropic urchin]

True

You can’t get away from that tho, but they can be used to upgrade the RAWs

The Jade max spring is the only thing giving it any value

I just threw mine away so lmao

[hard wraith]

I can if I do the thing

I don’t think anyone would’ve known better honestly

At least they would have some use in somebody’s hands

[upper ridge]

Hi guys, one questions. Which mesure is the space bar in the wooting 60he in the ISO Layaout?

[hard wraith]

Those Ace 60 is like 20 something dollars anyway, throw some keycaps that I’m trying to get rid of, throw those maxes on there with the Holy60, sell it for the price of a Holy60 I think people would buy it ngl

(If not I’ll just gift it to someone friends or whatever)

[hard wraith]

6.25U

[spice apex]

7U spacebars are horrible

[upper ridge]

Thank you so much ❤️

[hard wraith]

true

[hard wraith]

based search engine

[cyan lark]

Almost as good as asking questions in here

[hard wraith]

DuckDuckGo is private so arguably better than asking here☝️🤓

[quiet bay]

They’re home

[calm pulsar]

finallyy

[quiet bay]

time to disassemble

[devout totem]

Be aware they use oil not grease

[polar girder]

Just for lube or what’s the plan

[sacred elm]

he probably means the board

[quiet bay]

Ye

Just rawdogging it

[quiet bay]

With light = raws

the lekker sound test still has a raw he for spacebar, enter, and esc key

wow raws are clackier than I expected lol

might need to change config

[fluid ravine]

Ah finally

[sacred elm]

ball

[fluid ravine]

Shiii this mouse shape is nice

[tropic urchin]

Looks nice

I got my Stormbreaker max arriving tomorrow

Thing is fucking gigantic

[sacred elm]

lamzu packaging is peak

[fluid ravine]

Fr

Should I use the lamzu cable to replace my mustard cable for my keyboard 😂😂

[quiet bay]

uh oh i might have to lube the raws to dampen them

[fluid ravine]

Whats this for?

[quiet bay]

but they're so tough to take out

[tropic urchin]

I wouldn’t bother tbh

They sounded the same for mine that I tried way back when

RAWs won’t sound like the lekkers even if you dumped a gallon of lube on em

[quiet bay]

i'll test some stuff later

ima just enjoy the new feeling of no wobble for now

[fluid ravine]

Nvm it's film got it

[quiet bay]

man raws feel so nice

like the bottom out and everything..

50g is amazing

[fluid ravine]

im over here trying this new mouse

holy fak its nice

[sacred elm]

huh

[quiet bay]

I went to best buy once and tried out the razer viper 3 pro and it fit my hand like a glove I might need to find something similar in shape to it in the future

[sacred elm]

thats bottom sticker for the mouse, is kinda useless

"dust cover"

[tropic urchin]

I’d try the Maya x

[fluid ravine]

doesn't hurt to have it on does it?

[quiet bay]

yee that's whhat i was thhinking

in the future hopefully

[fluid ravine]

what kind of shape does the maya x have?

[tropic urchin]

https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=lamzu-maya-x-vs.-razer-viper-v3-pro

[tropic urchin]

Seems identical to VV3

[sacred elm]

nah, but if dust/hair goes in the mouse that sticker doesnt let it out, i prefered no dust cover when i had thorn from lamzu

[fluid ravine]

oh alright good to know

thanks

[sacred elm]

not identical but its like gpx probably

lamzu has great cable

[tropic urchin]

It’s within 2 standard deviations of similarity which is close enough 🤓

[sacred elm]

my viper v3 cable is ass, its almost as thick as my wootings cable. probably because of 8k dongle its so thick

[fluid ravine]

Good bye mustard cable

[sacred elm]

what do you use for your mouse dongle😳

[tropic urchin]

Looks nice

[fluid ravine]

oh just the cable i had setted up for my hyperx pulsefire haste 2

too lazy to redo the cable management

4k dongle is on the way

idk if i shouldbe bought the trident looking one or white

but i bought the white

[sacred elm]

probably stock cable is recommended for that 4k dongle? not sure, but i wouldnt use other cable

[fluid ravine]

mk

[scarlet barn]

Hi sorry to spam again but i want to build a custom keyboard for my friend do I need to get the case? I wanted to get a metal case for the keyboard but that says travel case but I cant tell if I need it for the actual casing for the keyboard/switches?

[quiet bay]

it's just a bag that's included with the metal case to use whenever u want to

it's already included with ur purchase

[scarlet barn]

Sorry so the zinc alloy case is the actual case/module thing to hold the keyboard parts as well?

[quiet bay]

yeah zinc alloy case is the case you put the module in and then you put the switches on the module, then keycaps

[random hull]

nice mouse, i currently got a DAV3 Pro, use palm. not sure if any of these are good alternatives

[polar girder]

Yeah that one’s goated. Don’t worry about it

Unless you want for something

There’s other good ergos but no real reason to buy more u less you’re missing something from the deathadder

[random hull]

yeah it was nice for the shape, i guess ill stick with it. been wasting too much money already 😹

[scarlet barn]

Okay thank you so much I wasnt sure so i wanted to clear that up LOL

[flat cobalt]

The mousepads sold out

[sacred elm]

which

[flat cobalt]

The PMM ones they only made 200 mousepads 100 for control and 100 for speed.

[velvet raft]

Is there any way to make cherry profile keycaps more thocky? They make my keyboard sound much more clacky than my OEM profile keycaps

[polar girder]

lol did you buy!

Yeah I don’t have FOMO

I mean a tiny bit

But I’ll be ok lol

[flat cobalt]

I didn’t maybe if they had anime girls on as designs yes

[fluid ravine]

That would depend on the keycap material and thickness then

You can go for PBT with a 1.5mm thickness

[quiet bay]

ceramic keycaps

[fallen pecan]

or even better, 1.7mm caps

Thank god i brought a second venom through geon's own website i guess

for anyone interested in buying stuff from taobao through superbuy, learn from my mistake, fuck superbuy

[sacred elm]

[sullen lotus]

Does anyone have recommendations for custom keycaps for the Wooting 80HE? I’m looking for something unique and was wondering if swapping keycaps changes the keyboard’s sound.

[chilly mural]

RIP

[marble sierra]

I have the Maya X right now, love it

[velvet raft]

The ones I got are 1.5 and still sound pretty clacky unfortunately

[fluid ravine]

material?

[velvet raft]

Pbt

[sacred elm]

forget thock

[scarlet barn]

Just out of curiosity, would you be able to recommend any websites for buying cases then?

Like if I wanted to get something that wasnt the stock zinc alloy case?

[tropic urchin]

I debated getting one to try, but wasnt different enough from the VV3 for me, but decided to go for SB Max instead

not a bad price either

[quiet bay]

I only know one other compatible case with the 80he and it's the gt-80

https://kbdfans.com/products/gt-80-case?srsltid=AfmBOopyldZQELFXcSs8wpn270IWxB3aLI9yepk9W6QtAsxlfRnMU7fr

it's a preorder tho

[velvet raft]

My keyboard isn't really thocky, I love the sound currently but they cherry keycaps change it to a much clackier sound which I dont love

[fluid ravine]

then it could be your other factors in your board causing this

cus keycap profile alone won't sum up the sound profile in general

[marble sierra]

Yeah I took a while looking for a mouse, went through a lot of them on here before buying ofc would of got final mouse but none is stock and very over priced in the long run IMO

https://www.rocketjumpninja.com/top-mice

[sacred elm]

a lot good mice are missing there

that list is actually garbage

[violet fulcrum]

What is bro saying

[sacred elm]

who are you talking to

[kind helm]

its a good list to look at weight and shape, but yeee ranking is just about how he feels

[violet fulcrum]

That list is based on his opinion, it’s subjective to that persons hand and style

[uneven cradle]

It also hasn't really been kept up to date

[sullen lotus]

fanatic maya and razer viper v3 pro are good

[marble sierra]

He has more mice in the top right of the page but yeah good to see size ect

[sullen lotus]

but if you buy the razer viper c3 pro

[fluid ravine]

hour 2 ig, atlantis og v2 is fantastic for me so far

[sullen lotus]

i recommend getting new skates

[fluid ravine]

ran a comp and played super well pretty happy

[glacial wind]

Superbuy hasn’t been too bad for me honestly, but there’s a reason I don’t recommend venom to casual friends outside of official releases lol

[sacred elm]

what 💀

[sullen lotus]

?

[sacred elm]

viper v3 pro might have best stock skates on the market

[kind helm]

think its related to the "expert pick" shipping option

probably be better if i used shipping companies that are more well known for international shipping like the one geon use D something something 3 letters

also i am not sure with the way they go through custom, because like different country & different shipping company has different fail rate for going through custom

[sullen lotus]

that depends for what you like ig then i dont like it that much because one its more for like control

[sacred elm]

Well yeah, its not fast. but the quality is nice

[sullen lotus]

yea true it just depends on what you like ig i just needed new ones because i didn’t like how it felt on my glass mousepad

[sacred elm]

makes sense

[scarlet barn]

Thank you boss man. I will keep this in mind. I imagine there are a very few selection if any that arent this one compatible LOL. I appreciate you

[merry zinc]

anyone know what keycaps to buy so the stabilizer actually fits on the keycap

[flat cobalt]

Got my Face Hugger cosmos keycap

[velvet raft]

Has anyone used stupidfish foam?

[tropic urchin]

Cthulu chest burster looks dope

[dusty wren]

anoyne have a good rgb color scheme for the keyboard i could use w gmk norse keycaps and a black alumaze case

[mellow summit]

Try putting a small piece of painter's tape on the top of each stabilizer connector where it connects to the keycap. It should create a seal between the keycap and stabilizer. I had to do this on my Wooting 80HE when I changed switches, and it completely fixed the problem

[devout totem]

@tidal condor Left to right: Jade Pro, Jade Max, Geon Raw, TTC RGB, muted TTC RGB, silenced TTC RGB, muted L60v2, L60v2

Muted L60v2 stem

[sacred elm]

yea that ttc sounds horrendous

lol

[devout totem]

Ok buddy

[sacred elm]

[flat cobalt]

I wonder if this is as quiet as it gets for now

[glacial wind]

Surely putting that foam there completely messes with your actuation accuracy

[delicate valley]

Any recommendations to replace Stabalizers for 3.5mm switches?

[glacial wind]

https://divinikey.com/products/geon-stem-spacer there you go - no stab replacement needed

[sacred elm]

you dont need to replace them

[delicate valley]

Afraid of moments like these
https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/comments/18we2rt/wooting_60he_jade_switches_issues_with_stabilizers/

Although I don't press super hard (I don't think I do), I worry that in the heat of the moment, it could happen.

[flat cobalt]

I was missing the F10 keycap from my GMK Mt Fuji and Cannonkeys replaced it

[sacred elm]

their keycaps are ass, that wont happen with you

[flat cobalt]

Yeah this won’t happen

[sacred elm]

even my 15$ keycaps are completely fine

[flat cobalt]

I was using the stock stabilizers with my jades and I was fine

[lofty lark]

I have a question

[flat cobalt]

We might have an answer

[lofty lark]

How do you set the actuation timing on the keyboard its self it says to hold down left clikc but nothing happens

[delicate valley]

Even if pressing with extra force? Like nothing insane of course.

[lofty lark]

I am doing exactly what it says and nothing is happening

[flat cobalt]

Yup nothing crazy and I play Hunt Showdown so mashing the space is a thing for trying to jump out of the way of things

[old sapphire]

i have jade pros and my spacebar is fine lmao

[sacred elm]

same

[delicate valley]

Just in case, how does these even work or be installed accurately? O.o

[sacred elm]

trust me you dont even need those spacers

[glacial wind]

you literally put them on top of your stem and it makes it a long pole stab

but as other people said you probably don't even need them

[delicate valley]

May as well test without and see what happens then.

[glacial wind]

that's all a long pole stab is - a stab that's 0.5mm taller

so the spacer just adds that 0.5mm on top

[delicate valley]

Pardon the noob like quesitons, but I'm looking at the images and confused af, ha!

So I'd only be adding one, pushing it all the way up?

[glacial wind]

you just add 1 then push it down and that's it

super easy

[ionic breach]

it rests at the bottom

[glacial wind]

the photo example he's showing is just the process of adding them, but they sit at the bottom

[ionic breach]

he means the top of the square pillar

not the whole thing

[delicate valley]

Ah gotcha

I'd slide it up there

Worth lubing the stabalizers btw?

(Also thank you for the swift answers again guys)

[glacial wind]

generally yeah, but check if your stock stabs are fine without needing relube first

sometimes the stock stabs are fine already

[delicate valley]

I've ordered the 80HE

[glacial wind]

Btw if I record ttc magneto poms from further away it seems the sound is quite accurate. Here’s sound demo for people who want to hear just how absurdly loud the ttc magneto poms are

that's literally the sound you hear all day if you have them lol

[flat cobalt]

That loud?

[ionic breach]

I want to hear it on a cf plate ngl

[delicate valley]

I've ordered those too, against shafie's better judgement. I can't resist the TTC switches.

[flat cobalt]

Stock stabilizers and Jade Pros

[delicate valley]

Haha, okay, I hear you loud and clear lol

[glacial wind]

use hammer on the key to prove you have enough force

sledgehammer or we don't believe you

[flat cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/frog-scared-hide-shy-frog-viralhog-gif-15237637

[delicate valley]

[glacial wind]

i love mine honestly, but the sound doesn't bother me as long as it's clean

the loud clack definitely would drive some people crazy though lol

[delicate valley]

I watched some vids post lubed, I find they sound nice.

That sounds really bad out of context, ha

[fluid ravine]

mines need some cleaning to be done lol

[glacial wind]

my gateron jade gaming arrive later today, so i'll compare the ttc vs them to see if the gaterons get more of that annoying box stem feel

[tidal condor]

the silenced TTC sounds the best, that is impressive wow

@sacred elm doesn't understand that sound is subjective lmao

[sacred elm]

IJBOL

[tidal condor]

so eager to throw his opinion that it sounds awful, when a tiny bit of 0.5 foam is making more difference than any other single one change you could ever do to your keeb

put another layer of tape on buddy

maybe you'll get a 0.01% difference in 'THONK'

[sacred elm]

what are you even talking about

buddy

[glacial wind]

i have no idea what this conversation is about, but please do not put foam under your magnet like that if you want an accurate wooting

[sacred elm]

put more foams in your switch to make wooting perform like a garbage

smartass

[glacial wind]

it's fine if he wants to play around with mods for his own use, but i would definitely not suggest anyone do that mod if they care about the performance of their wooting

[delicate valley]

I think he's referring to convo further up? O.o

[flat cobalt]

My keyboard stuff drawer

[tidal condor]

Second time you've said you TTC sounds awful when @devout totem is posting switch tests

we got it the first time ^_^ !

[sacred elm]

yes and I will say the same thing the third time, why are you triggered?

[ionic breach]

xray cables in stock soon

[tidal condor]

from my knowledge it wouldn't affect it as much as you think for anything over 0.5 actuation

[sacred elm]

"anything over 0.5 actuation"

[ionic breach]

that's my goat

[tidal condor]

triggered btw

[glacial wind]

it 100% would mess with the actuation

[ionic breach]

unironically the reason I want to start a companny

[glacial wind]

you can't put a giant fairly thick foam piece that is constantly changing the bottom out value depending on how hard you bottom out

well you can, but it just leads to really inaccurate readings

at that stage if you're going to do that mod just buy an mx keyboard because you're killing the accuracy of your HE board

your wooting is going to be constantly recalibrating trying to figure out why the hell is the switch distance constantly different from one press to the next and never know how to treat the rapid trigger properly

[glacial wind]

it's great until you realize having a company means dealing with bs like that nonstop lol

takes a certain personality to not get burnt out and aggro honestly

[ionic breach]

[flat cobalt]

Bungie employees

[ionic breach]

I mean the ideal company for me would mean losing money

[glacial wind]

ideal company for me would be a PC cafe that doesn't need to make money

[ionic breach]

essentially what I'm interested in is the community and not the money

[glacial wind]

it's always been on my list if I somehow won the lottery i'd open a pc cafe that makes no money and just exists so I can create a really neat gaming space for friends to visit and stay lol

[ionic breach]

I also hate growth in companies lmao

[devout totem]

Having the foam on the bottom of the switch is not affecting it's performance. Wooting is self calibrating and Nuphy can be calibrated. Using them for my wasd keys without issues

[glacial wind]

pc cafe with bubble tea shop attached to it for sure would be the one

[ionic breach]

I just want a small, well executed company that takes care of its community

be it losing money or not

[glacial wind]

it 100% is, the self calibration isn't instant and you're constantly changing the values

you only don't notice this because you're likely not playing sensitive games

if for example you were playing fps games with low rt this mod would completely ruin the timings of all your strafes

[devout totem]

I spend all day playing fps without issues

[tidal condor]

you are thinking of the key presses as a MX keyboard, HE detects magnetic field instead of metal on metal

[glacial wind]

are you playing fps games at a decent level or just playing them?

[tidal condor]

the foam hitting the bottom first is not affecting the magnetic once calibrated

[glacial wind]

it 100% is and has been discussed from wooting employees with regards to even o ring mods affecting calibration, much less this

look - i have no issue if you want to do this mod and play casual gaming. It probably doesn't matter and you might not even notice

however if someone is playing say valorant at a decent level and doing this mod they will 100% notice it affecting things

[glacial wind]

yes but again, are you just playing these games or are you playing them at a decent level

[stray tiger]

You gotta get those numbers up

[sacred elm]

thats a lot of hours, but doesnt mean anything

[glacial wind]

posting hours doesn't mean anything

hipyo has 1k hours in cs and says rapid trigger does nothing.

[tidal condor]

I play GunZ The Duel, I will be the true test to performance not Valorant

[fluid ravine]

even PE foam sheets and 0.5mm switch pads with material like EVA and PE can have a problem (Adding on)

[glacial wind]

^ yep

[sacred elm]

if you want use it, just dont spread misinformation that it doesnt affect performance

lmao

[glacial wind]

i don't care if you want to do this random foam stem mod, but don't tell people it doesn't affect things when we know for a fact it does and wooting employees have talked about how even more minor mods affect calibration/accuracy

[tidal condor]

you stated "really inaccurate readings"

[glacial wind]

yes

open up analog tester and play around with it

it's going to be very confused constantly having to change the calibration when your bottom out has a +- of 0.5mm or more jsut from the foam

it's not so much just that you're adding 0.5mm of foam, but that the foam isn't a fixed thickness and can change depending on how hard you press down

when most people set their RT at 0.15-0.3 or so it's 100% going to be affecting things

[pine trail]

sorry to chime in here, but why would the wooting need to know where the bottom out is? for all it knows the user could be complete psycho who never bottoms out

[glacial wind]

that's how it calculates when to activate/deactivate actuations

[ionic breach]

calibration

[glacial wind]

it figures out what the magnetic value is at top and bottom and uses it's firmware to figure out where you are in the keypress

[pine trail]

and what if they never bottom out?

[glacial wind]

then they may be an alien

and we would have proof of life from other planets

[ionic breach]

should work anyways

but just not a great calibration

[flat cobalt]

Having this much control would be insane

[glacial wind]

but joking aside, the wooting has a rough base estimate of how things are even if you don't bottom out - it just wouldn't be as accurate as if you did bottom out and it could do deep calibration

[ionic breach]

auto calibration doesn't need keypresses iirc

just deep calibration

[pine trail]

shouldn't the board in theory "know" where the bottom is if it knows what the value is at the top? which is always fixed

[ionic breach]

there are variances in magnet sizes

[glacial wind]

yeah but switches have different magnetic +-

just tolerance things

[ionic breach]

it's hard to make them exactly the same strength

[pine trail]

I mean each sensor should know their respective magnet right, it obviously shouldnt assuming things from manufacturer specs

[glacial wind]

yeah, that's what deep calibration is doing

it starts off guessing based on what they know from manu specs, then it deep calibrates over time from you actually using the keyboard

[ionic breach]

auto is using the top out value (not pressed)

and predicting the rest

[glacial wind]

yeah, basically the keyboard just gets more and more data to calibrate things even better the more you use it

it's why for example you'll notice with some of the keyboards that offer 0.02 type settings - they require recalibration sometimes because those settings are so precise that being a tiny bit off completely makes a key not work properly

all that is basically why when you introduce a weird mod that suddenly makes your switch not have a fixed bottom out it's going to constantly be throwing incorrect data at your wooting

one press it'll say "oh cool 734 is the value at bottom out for this key - i'll calibrate for that!" then the next press you're pressing bottom out at 652 because you didn't push the foam stem mod in as much and suddenly it's trying to use that last press value as a non bottom out even though it was a bottom out

[tidal condor]

but doesn't it just remember the strongest magnetic field? and the weakest being released?

[glacial wind]

yeah but it's calibrating what it thinks is the top and bottom constantly

and what you're doing with the mod is changing the values of this constantly. So let's say your strongest was randomly 1000, but your average press bottom is 800 - now it's treating 800 as a non bottom out because it thinks that one 1k press you did is the bottom

that's now a 20% difference in what your keyboard thinks and what you're actually doing as your bottom out

[pine trail]

that's honestly not a behavior I would expect from my keyboard, but sure enough, my UwU with raws now bottoms out at 4mm 🤨

kinda overcooked imo

[glacial wind]

the 0-4mm display is just 0-100% - think of it like that

the actual number value displayed doesn't change because they haven't added the switch selector in yet, but just think of 4mm on the display as 3.4mm

[flat cobalt]

X-Ray restock on the 12th for KBDfans

[glacial wind]

i need to stop buying keycaps until i have more keyboards lol

i already have keykobo retro mixed lights and osume mocha on my watch list

There’s some keycaps I regret getting lol cause I only use 1 keyboard

[untold wigeon]

Nyphy field75 he vs wooting 80he?

[fluid ravine]

Any future keyboard plans?

[glacial wind]

probably not in near future as I have to start some youtube projects soon, so just doing the wooting mod thing as a warm up before I jump back into full time content creation

i do wonder if having another 80he module might be handy though because I really don't want to keep taking apart my main keyboard every time I have to do a new sound test for whatever flavor of the month switches come out

then i could finally mod my plate without worrying about how much it would suck to change the plate out for every sound test

[untold wigeon]

Anyone knows if nyphy halo65 he or nyphy field75 he requires calibration? I ve heard that wooting keyboards auto calibrate, and i also heard that keychron he series requires manual calibration from time to time

[ionic breach]

nunphy would have the answer tho that one

or their discord

[fallen pecan]

there's a button to auto calibrate the entire board at once. it also lets you manually calibrate each switch

[untold wigeon]

So wooting indeed doesn't need any manual calibration? Auto calibrates and that's all?

[ionic breach]

ya it's not needed

it auto calibrates on start up and more as u type

you can manually do a deep calibration tho

I think thockfather listed the steps a few times

[untold wigeon]

That's really nice

[glacial wind]

Okay gateron jade gaming arrived. I don’t like them lol

They’re definitely stable, similar bottom out to ttc magneto, but a tad more top wiggle and the sound is way less clean

/., = gateron jade gaming

mnb = ttc magneto pom

the jade gaming are lower pitch but there's that weird muffled sound

[sacred elm]

I thought it was worse than that

does it feel smooth

[glacial wind]

no friction issues, not as smooth as the magneto pom but they aren't bad

i'd say they're not a bad cheaper alternative to the magneto if you really don't care about clarity of the sound

but ttc magneto pom still the winner for cleaner (but way higher pitched) sound and smoothness, out of all the box stems i've tried

[flat cobalt]

Did you lube them yourself to see if there was any differences

[glacial wind]

I’ll hand lube then later when I record proper sound tests, but I’m not expecting much because I had a peek inside and it was already prelubed decently ok

it’s not like the ttc where there was zero lube almost. The jade gaming all had similar lubing as the jade pro

[thorn spire]

Any suggestions for keyboard plate guys?

[flat cobalt]

Big preference I like FR4

[thorn spire]

what do you guys think about CF plate?

[thorn spire]

thanks

[primal gulch]

hey guys, I have question about modding. So I bought a wootinig 80he and i bought some durock v2 stabs is it going to be compatible since the stabs dont have screws

[glacial wind]

er why, durock stabs are no better than the stock stabs

the ones you get with your wooting are already as good as durock stabs

[primal gulch]

oh.

I guess there's a less wobbly so I wanted to try them

[glacial wind]

they aren't any less wobbly than the stock gateron ones you get

durock v2 are from ancient days, i assume you saw recommendations for them from awhile ago back before everyone made stabs equal or better than durock stabs

it used to be the go-to stab back when it was rare for keyboards to even have proper stabs

[primal gulch]

so should i buy a new one? what are your recommendations (I want it to sound creamy)

[glacial wind]

you shouldn't buy anything, the stock stabs are fine

only buy new stabs if you run into some issue with your stock ones

[primal gulch]

But I kinda hate the fact that they're wobbly

[glacial wind]

what do you mean wobbly?

[primal gulch]

like shaky

[glacial wind]

all stabs have some movement

if you're trying to find stabs with no movement they don't exist

[primal gulch]

i mean yes there is, but i want less space or gaps to them

[glacial wind]

then buy staebies, but if your keys suddenly have issues because it now has friction don't say you weren't warned

the tighter the stab the more your keycaps need to be flawless mold because any slight warping will make your stab keys feel awful on the tighter stabs - it's why some people actually don't prefer the super tight stabs

[primal gulch]

hmm okay

i learned alot, thanks man

[glacial wind]

like for example even on my 60he+ with knight v2 stabs which are tight but not the tightest stabs, i can't use any of my cheaper keycap sets without sluggish shift/backspace key issues

just the mild warping makes those keycaps sluggish feeling

[primal gulch]

can i js put some paper to them to make them sturdy?

[glacial wind]

I mean step 1 would be to get tighter switches first. that will reduce wobble already. I wouldn't be putting any paper into your stabs

[primal gulch]

i meant inside the hole of the keycaps

[glacial wind]

that won't help at all

paper doesn't fix the keycap actually being warped and not as perfectly aligned

it might make the keycap tighter on the stab but that doesn't do anything when most keycaps are tight enough already

[primal gulch]

understandable

[fallen pecan]

nuphy new godzilla caps

[glacial wind]

Neat color combo honestly

[fallen pecan]

in their new 'berry' profile, half nsa half cherry

[glacial wind]

interesting. So cherry but shorter

[muted fossil]

profile looks interesting

[split dagger]

Dose anyone know if buying geon raw he off the geon works website take long to ship?

[vague stag]

Will durock V3 work fine with Geon Raw’s? Cannot find any information on whether they are long pole or not..I assume they will work with the 60HE+, since they are compatible with 1.6.mm PCB’s

[split dagger]

Yea but thats just the shipping company I mean do they usually take a long time to ship out there items

Bc idk where the factory is located

[muted fossil]

China

[trail coral]

is it necessary to screw in all screws after modding its kind of troublesome if i want to mod it again

[glacial wind]

it ships very quickly, but you pay a lot (almost the price of the switches or more in some cases after tax)

it's coming from korea via dhl, which usually ships in a day or so after ordering (business days)

[split dagger]

Perfect thank you

[glacial wind]

it would work, although you'd not be upgrading the stabs at all

[flat cobalt]

Wow this looks neat

[split dagger]

Having to do some saving

[vague stag]

Thank you. Why is that, are they as good as the stock one or are they simply not great according to your opinion?

[glacial wind]

durock are basically same level as what wooting already gives you stock

[flat cobalt]

Check AliExpress for the geon

[vague stag]

Ty, good to know. So the only upgrade worth talking about is
The swag key?

[glacial wind]

i mean, no upgrade would be what I'd do because stabs aren't 'upgraded' - it's all sidegrades

if you really want to then buy swagkey knight v2, but then you're having to relube anyway

so it's kind of a 'why are you even doing this' if you don't have a particular issue with your current stabs

[vague stag]

Got it! The real reason is that I’ve never changed any stabs and wanted to try

And see if it actually does anything

[glacial wind]

i mean, you can just watch videos - here are a bunch of top stabs back to back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njD64DV5iHw

i think people blindly think that tighter = better, but it's not even the case as you'll notice the most popular knight v2 aren't even the tightest compared to typeplus

i've known a few folks that actually went to typeplus then back to looser stabs because they didn't like the feel

[flat cobalt]

I went back to the stock stabs on my 60

[primal garden]

a

[flat cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-orange-cat-orange-silly-sleepy-gif-6417105498599915647

[glacial wind]

yeah I legitimately think half the people who mod their wooting stabs end up with worse stabs half the time lol

they're all under the impression that stabs are like switches, where one is better than another and no matter what anyone tells them they will go buy knight v2 even if their current stabs work fine

[primal garden]

yeah i agree man (i know nothing about keyboards except abcdefg)

[flat cobalt]

Yeah I’ve seen it a lot, I think it could be from tech YouTubers/tiktok

[glacial wind]

it's just people who don't know what stabs do going into discords/reddit and seeing "oh this is the best stab, I better buy it"

if you ask them why they want to swap their stabs they don't even know

[flat cobalt]

color is all that matters, but you already knew my answer

[glacial wind]

then other people see more people using this popular stab and think "shit everyone is using them so I need to buy them too. they must be good if everyone is using them"

meanwhile my 60he+ has fancier stabs right now that feel worse than the stock ones because i'm using cheapie warped keycaps on them that don't fit well with tighter stabs

[dusk sedge]

Hey how tight do you guys recommend screwing the PCB to the case

[glacial wind]

just until the screw stops moving then like a quarter turn and you're good

doesn't need to be rock tight

[split dagger]

Oh alright thanks

[cedar kernel]

they could relube their wooting stabs if people really want to mod no ?

I opent the wooting stabs and they are already lubed pretty well though, so I dont think its necessary at all

[split dagger]

I usually go until it stops moving without applying much force

[split dagger]

Yea and this 👆

[glacial wind]

yep they can. But most people don't know anything about stabs and just want to buy new stabs because they read a mod list that said 'this stab is good'

there's basically no logical reason behind it. They just saw it online and thought better stabs means something

[dusk sedge]

ok thank you

[cedar kernel]

well to be fair thats what 99% of people do

[dusk sedge]

also is it normal for the usb c port not to sit flush with the tofu redux case? when i get it lined up with the screw holes it sits a little further back

[glacial wind]

at this stage i've resigned myself to knowing that 9/10 people asking about stabs will buy stabs even if I tell them they don't need new stabs

[cedar kernel]

maybe you need to screw it a bit more on the side with the usb port

[glacial wind]

align it in the port then push it towards the back usb port as you screw it down to keep it aligned

[dusk sedge]

so it should be sitting flush?

ok ill try that

[split dagger]

Lucky bc my stabs weren’t lubed well lol I finally did something about it last night after having they keyboard for like 2 years now

[glacial wind]

well flush-ish. If you don't push it back towards the port sometimes people screw it down too far away from the port and they have issues with the usb connecting properly

[glacial wind]

the old 60he was very different from the newer ones honestly

[cedar kernel]

i think people and me included when buying a keyboard like this want to buy all possible stuff just to make it "the best" even if it makes little to no difference

[glacial wind]

my old 60he was pretty bad for stab sound stock

the new 60he+ was a lot better lubed when it came

[split dagger]

Yea I see lots of diff things with it now

[cedar kernel]

maybe they did stuff different 2 years ago ? I have the 80HE so that might be why

only the wire was lubed on my stabs though

[glacial wind]

yeah they did. They improved the lubing a lot since then and upgraded the switches

my old 60he was a rattly mess stock, but the 60he+ that I got last month was no rattle at all

[mild hemlock]

is there anything i can do to make my spacebar sound better? the "ping" is terrible... because my spacebar sounds completely different than all my buttons and its like nails on a chalkboard for me

[glacial wind]

buy spacebar foam off aliexpress

costs like $2

[cedar kernel]

also the lekker 45V2 were pretty good (also lubed well) compared to the Geon Raw's only difference i could really notice when stock was the wobble when pressed down, geons were better there

[cedar kernel]

do the tape mod with painters tape on the spacebar if you want, i did that instead of buying foam

[split dagger]

I wanna try geons so much bc people say they sound nicer then jades

[glacial wind]

they're basically just jade pros but cheaper

with very slight pitch difference

[glacial wind]

yeah

you'll want the 6.25u one

[split dagger]

Oh well I dont have pros

[mild hemlock]

what does that even mean?

the size?

[glacial wind]

it's length of the spacebar

[mild hemlock]

ty buying it now

[split dagger]

I got to buy this lol

[glacial wind]

honestly if I was modding a new wooting all i'd do is fix the lube in the stabs if needed, have good switches like raw he/jade pro, and throw in spacebar foam

and you'd have a top tier wooting that's already in the top 99% of wootings

all the other mods barely matter

[split dagger]

Got 1/3 of that done rn

[cedar kernel]

id add tape mod on the back to that list, its cheap

[glacial wind]

well tape mod is up to the person and 80he already comes with some tape mod

[split dagger]

I just want a black switch plate I hate seeing the white between my keycaps its so ugly

[glacial wind]

so it's kind of a sidegrade with tape mod since some people actually dislike the sound of it when extra is applied

if people are super keen the only other mod i'd really try is different plates

but a lot of that is still new territory (for 80he anyway) and we haven't had many people test out the 3rd party plates yet

i'd be curious to see if the ones popping up now are well cut with the correct screw holes in all the spots

[cedar kernel]

well now that Zonic mentioned the white plate being noticeable between the keycaps i cant unsee it

but it doesnt bother me enough to actually change it

[flat cobalt]

just get jelly tape

it’s like $3usd for 3 feet

Hi re keycaps change performance for games? or nah i mean ms active or sum

[polar girder]

No

Or sum

[calm pulsar]

what

[tropic urchin]

Keycaps won’t impact performance or increase ms if that’s what you’re asking. Poorly fitted ones might give you more stem wobble or not feel as good

As long as you don’t go for $5 GMK clones I think you should be fine

If you’re unsure which keycap style to go for, I’d recommend sticking with default Wooting ones

Jade pros have better tolerances (reduced stem wobble) and a longer sprint for better rebound and overall feel with slightly tinted RGB (whites look slightly blue, yellows are neon green ish and purple/pink colors look a little darker overall)

[quartz jay]

Good thing im not using rgb LOL thanks for the info

The RGB is a little overblown, they sound and feel phenomenal

Which I think is more important

Oh to much for me i need something for 25-40$

[tropic urchin]

Wooting sells something similar for the 60HE that’s black and white, but you’d need to get separate F row keys

But if you want the 50/50 split I’d get a black and white of the topograph if that’s what you’re set on

[tropic urchin]

https://wooting.io/product/wooting-take-control-5-sided-dye-sub-pbt-keycaps?Language=ANSI+United+States&Color=Black+%26+White

I think that’s probably the highest quality of what you want you’ll find, but will only fit 60%

[quartz jay]

Theres a low profile jade pro version, hows that?

[tropic urchin]

Low profile isn’t compatible afaik

[quartz jay]

oh whoops I got lied to by google

[tropic urchin]

I wouldn’t touch maxes or gaming

Also Genty which is ‘silent’, but I don’t see the appeal

[worldly igloo]

What do you think abt those https://steelseries.com/gaming-accessories/prismcaps?color=black&language=english&srsltid=AfmBOoqPXTRtlJoFJYwsPvlR5roopEakN2Yc2uRuAK6aStMiOXVH4aUf

[tropic urchin]

I’ve seen ppl use similar ones from hyperx so I believe you could use those if you want

I’m more partial to the white color, but black should fit your case

[glossy wing]

Where does one can get one of these without buying a the full detchable cable set? Any EU shop for single part accessories?

[autumn creek]

Any good recommendations for keycaps 60he

[spice apex]

type A usb male to type c usb male

not type A

hold up

i can’t remember the name

but it would be detachable male to usb c male

[cyan lark]

https://www.amazon.com/DRRI-Push-Pull-Contact-Connector-Mount-Connector/dp/B0863FKPL8 looks like the connector, GL finding a cable 🤷

Could just splice & solder your own :hackerman:

[stuck night]

guys u know case about aim bone80 for wooting80he? Has anyone here bought it?

or case from kbdfans gt80?

is good enough?

[dreamy drum]

Just finished installing my first new switches, Geon Raw HEs and this keyboard sounds almost exactly like the sound that i was chasing out of all these mods

whoever recommended it deserves a gold star

I also installed the LEDs south facing and promptly realized that now my whole keyboard is so fucking dark

[quiet bay]

For me the bottom out sound is nice but the topout sound is kinda “hollow”

[dreamy drum]

so sooner or later i'll have to pull it all apart and reinstall north facing

[quiet bay]

For my raw he build rn

[dreamy drum]

Yeee im coming from lekker V1s man so,

anything was an improvmenet rofl

[quiet bay]

Same

The feeling is night and day

[analog mulch]

are there keycaps good quality?

[quiet bay]

But sound i gotta tweak

[dreamy drum]

did you install yours north facing?

[quiet bay]

Ye

[dreamy drum]

I didn't realize how big of a difference that was going to make

[quiet bay]

Idk but the website is genuine at least

[quiet bay]

For rgb yeah

I dont use rgb tho

[chilly mural]

Have to wait until at most late Jan 2025 before you get anybody's opinion on GT80, as for Bone80, not sure

[fluid ravine]

oh fr?

the pochizo i know uses RGB

impasta?

[stuck night]

yeah sure i know, for the one on kbd fans its so pricey on my region

if kbdfans gt80 arrived to my region is like $220 because of shipping and tax

af

i think i'll take the bone80 beacuse its cheapest if arrvied on m country but i cant take the badge like gt80

i cant customised like gt80

[chilly mural]

You can prop wait until the second batch and see if kbdfans put the extra on aliexpress

[stuck night]

sadly i cant delivery from aliexpress beacuse aliexpress banned my country

[chilly mural]

😭

[stuck night]

yeah i think i'll make sure of 2 cases kbdfans or bone80

[chilly mural]

Unless you really want aesthetic, keeping the plastic/zinc case can still be the best call

[stuck night]

i can order from aliexpress but i must use forwarder to shipping from SG

yeah i did it

yesterday i took wooting 80he

2 days ago

i think on this day(on my region its 3 am 12 dec) they already to shipping to my country

sorry i mean this day on warehouse

[pure jetty]

When I replace the pcb and fix the keyboard do I need to return the keyboard to wooting?

[cyan lark]

If they ask you to return it, then yes, otherwise I'd assume not. I had an issue before and they provided me with a shipping label to send things back.

[pure jetty]

They said there going to provide me with a shipping label but I was wondering if I had to return it or not

[spice apex]

bro how many times are you gonna ask the same thing

you’ve gotten answers earlier

[pure jetty]

I asked 1 time

Proof?

[spice apex]

you’ve ent the exact same message 3 times throughout the day

[spice apex]

your answer is wait for support to get back to you

[pure jetty]

I didn’t

I haven’t messaged support so Wdym

[spice apex]

you’re literally an ai

contact support

[signal ridge]

any recommended stabs for wooting 80

[cedar citrus]

Could you guys help me understand something

[sacred elm]

stock stabs are good

[cedar citrus]

This is the 60he which I found in @modding_faq, does the 80he follow the same dimensions in regards to stabilizers

I’m still extremely new to modding

[cyan lark]

Yes

[cedar citrus]

But this pack of stabilizers only comes with the size of the spacebar, unless I’m missing something here?

[lime tinsel]

the 'u' size on the wooting layout screenshot is for the keycaps themselves

the 2u wire will work for all the non spacebar stabs

[signal ridge]

cant u bend ur own wire

[sacred elm]

are you replacing stabilizers?

[brazen trench]

What switch would yall recommend for the optimum 60he? Im into deep sounding switches and thocc

[cyan lark]

Check out Geon RAWs

[cedar citrus]

Not now maybe in the future, I just want to understand a little bit more about keyboards

[brazen trench]

Which bottom force

[cedar citrus]

Thanks for clarifying

[cyan lark]

That's entirely up to your preference

[sacred elm]

thock doesnt exist

[cyan lark]

I just answer with what people call thock 🤷

[tropic urchin]

There’s only 1 for you: Lekker V2

[cyan lark]

I gotta say I am loving on these magnetos

[ashen rover]

hello, I would like to know if I order all this, nothing is missing except the assembly so that my keyboard works. Besides, is the cable provided? Are the switches I chosen the same as the defailt ones in the wooting 60he +? Thank you very much

[velvet raft]

Has anyone tried stupidfish foam?

[ashen rover]

oh is the bad channel maybe ?

[sacred elm]

Cable is included

[ashen rover]

oh thanks

[sacred elm]

choose lekker v2 switches

[ashen rover]

ok thank you

and I don't need anything else for it to work?

[sacred elm]

Nope, thats all you need

[ashen rover]

nice

and are the switches pre-lubricated?

[sacred elm]

yes

[ashen rover]

okok thank u so much

[sacred elm]

afaik those are v1 lekkers, just replace them with v2s

thats all

[ashen rover]

okok thanks

and the keycaps includes numeric pad etc but i want a wooting 60he + not a 80he so I will just have extra keycaps but they work for a 60 ?

[sacred elm]

yes

[ashen rover]

okok thank you very much bro

[knotty iron]

ok um

i returned to my friends stock 80HE and lowkey love and miss the stock 80HE feel

his unit is not having the same delay issues i am experiencing

really excited to get my rma request in

[jade storm]

Anyone have an OP18K Purple Frost they want to sell?

[brazen trench]

where did you get them from? and did you keep them stock?

[cyan lark]

Milk tooth. Just got them today and so far I'm digging them stock, don't think I'll be lubing them.

https://milktooth.com/products/switches/magneto

[quiet bay]

So i swapped out top housing of raw he with my lekker housing

Left is the lekker top housing

And holy god are raws so hard to take out

[sacred elm]

yea

[sacred elm]

they might have crazy stem wobble no?

[quiet bay]

Nah its switch taped

I swapped out top housing because the topout sound was kinda weird

For raws

[sacred elm]

wdym

[sacred elm]

💀

[quiet bay]

Im prolly just gonna lube the top housing of the raws

Instead of swapping housings

[sacred elm]

hop on jade pros

🥶

[quiet bay]

nah i dont like the green

U can see my switches from the side

[cyan lark]

Yeah I haven't heard many people talking about them but they are a total pain to remove. Plus the RGB window slides out very easily which makes it even harder to remove.

[sacred elm]

yea they are pain, lekker v2s also

but i one tap jade pros

they are super easy to pull

[cyan lark]

Yeah jades are solid and come out like butter

[brazen trench]

do you use these stock?

[sacred elm]

yes

[cyan lark]

Jade pros are excellent

[quiet bay]

Made some tweaks

Right is the tweaked one

Bit deeper

[cyan lark]

Off topic: you're a fast typist!
On topic: sounds great

[marsh saffron]

FINALLY

[thorn spire]

guys can i have a picture of the front pcb of the 80HE

[graceful pawn]

best I got, still has the stabilizers, sorry

[cyan lark]

Lewd!

[graceful pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/box-of-shame-box-shame-gif-5716656840447945106

[thorn spire]

that fine thank you so much

[rapid rose]

are the gateron magnetic jades sold by wooting the same ones that are sold on amazon? by gateron themselves?

[hollow dagger]

Yes

[rapid rose]

thank you

[fast oriole]

are the lights on the 60he+ north-facing?

[flat cobalt]

I recommend the Pro though

[glacial wind]

Yeah if you want jades buy the pros instead

[flat cobalt]

Pom plates affect magnetic switches?

[glacial wind]

should be fine but I’d assume the worry would be that it’s too flexible

personally I don’t like going more flexible than pc on he boards but I know some folks have pom 60he plates

[flat cobalt]

Fair fair thank you

[rapid rose]

What would be the main difference

[glacial wind]

pros are tighter stem wobble

old jades are the previous gen before the tolerance and magnet improvements
