[worldly igloo]

for me shipping is 94$ ☠️

from kbd it was 30$ i think

i bought brass tofu60 redux and geons

[stone flax]

gmk

[tropic urchin]

Do you have any preferences for your keeb sound or will anything suffice?

[potent holly]

I tend to prefer creamy switches

[tropic urchin]

I’d take a look at Geon RAW He or Jade pros. I’m more partial to pros than RAW, but both should fit that bill

[calm pulsar]

I like whipped cream switch

[stone flax]

oh

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/711913638193004556/1300554769336635493/creamy.gif

[potent holly]

Yes

[calm pulsar]

venom on aliexpress btw

[stone flax]

This?

[calm pulsar]

yeah seems 2 vendors have them

[calm pulsar]

ohh and also the hyperboring compatible plates are there too poggers

these are not as nice as geon made but still very cool

[crimson sky]

that poor 880 still smells like cream cheese afaik

[calm pulsar]

💀

[tropic urchin]

What a terrible day to have eyes

[night atlas]

I vaguely remember seeing something about there's a visualizer to see how far a key is pressed, is that in wootility

[wanton warren]

hey guys do yall know what stabs are compatible with the wooting 60 he + my stock stabs arent working like they used too so im wanting to change them out

[cyan lark]

6.25U + 2U

[wanton warren]

what does that mean lol im still learning

[stone flax]

Just retune them?

How exactly arent they working anymore

Lube displaced too much?

[still abyss]

for geon raw he switches, what force should i get? 40 50 or 60? i’m new to this stuff so i dont really understand to

[stone flax]

preference

They refer to bottom out weights

40g to 60g

G being grams

[still abyss]

so it will be lighter pushing it down?

[stone flax]

wdym

lower number lighter

yes

[still abyss]

i see

i’ll probably get the lowest then

does it make a difference on sound

[stone flax]

Yeah

heavier is snappier on upstroke and louder on topout

[night atlas]

i personally like the 50g cause it keeps me from fatfingering in typing/gaming

but that's just how my hands work

[cyan lark]

"poorly" 😉

[wooden hazel]

Hi anyone knows if the low profile Hall effect jades works on the 60he?

[stone flax]

No

[cyan lark]

(I'm the same, too light and I start making mistakes)

[wooden hazel]

Aw man that sucks thanks mj

[stone flax]

np

[still abyss]

wouldn’t you just higher the actuation in that case?

[cyan lark]

Those are the "unit" sizes for the stabilized keys. Spacebar is 6u(nits), the rest are 2u(nits). So you need a stabilizer set that is 1. screw-in (at least for my 60HE+, 60HE may be clip-in) and 2. contains 2u stabs for non-spacebars and a 6u for the spacebar

1u is the size of a standard letter keycap

[still abyss]

i see

do yk which would sound better? in your opinion

[stone flax]

Preference

imo 50-60

top out on 40 just a lil too weak sounding

[still abyss]

i think i’ll just get 50

[stone flax]

Good balance

cant go wrong

[still abyss]

i was thinking of getting the jade pros but tbh it looks like there’s a bunch of downsides for me

i heard they mess with the rgb, and i have the two he so they don’t come in my exact keyboard amount

[night atlas]

that's true but the physical feel of the buttons not pressing helps a lot too

it's all a preference thing anyway

I'm sure there's workarounds for the issue i had, but the 50g helps my personal needs

[tropic urchin]

Unless you really like your white/yellows then it isn’t too bad, but also will make your pink/purples darker too, but if that’s a deal breaker then RAWs are probably a better bet

[cyan lark]

Or psychopaths route - magnetos

[tropic urchin]

I’m almost tempted to try them out, but that stock sound is hideous

[cyan lark]

I lubed 'em and they still sound pretty similar. Part of the lifestyle I suppose.

[tropic urchin]

TTC magnetos: if live leak was a switch

[cyan lark]

The halls of your mind seem like a scary place my friend

[tropic urchin]

Moreso morbid curiosity, but I haven’t scarred myself to that degree 😂

[still abyss]

okay this is my final stupid question

nevermind i’m stupid

😭

[fervent hollow]

Hey guys, does the optimum keyboard comes assembled if i purchase the whole thing?

[edgy totem]

I was curious...I didn't realize how much different it was. Jade Pros vs TTC Magnetos

[tropic urchin]

What are your ASD keys

[edgy totem]

jade pros

[tropic urchin]

What’s your plate btw

Jade pros sound so good in that

Or is it the stock steel one

[edgy totem]

Its stock steel LOL

but this is on a made68 ultra

[tropic urchin]

They sound great

[edgy totem]

my wooting comes this week

[tropic urchin]

But yeah those TTCs are pain

SHARP and plasticky is no go

[cyan lark]

So much feedback though

[edgy totem]

and i like the softer feel of the pros

[sacred elm]

jade pros 😎

[tropic urchin]

Now im really excited for my CF plate

[cyan lark]

The softness of the Jade Pros is definitely nice, but I need some kinda tactility from linears. I came from using tactile switches for the last 15 years. 🤷

At least until tactile HE becomes a thing (yes I know it's a weird idea)

[edgy totem]

i feel like tactile would defeat the purpose of a magnetic switch tho

[sacred elm]

i also prefer metal plate but im too lazy to swap pc with cf or steel

[edgy totem]

actuation being different from the bump seems...inefficient

[sacred elm]

yea tactile he is not it

[tropic urchin]

It’s not hard 🙏🏻

[edgy totem]

but i do miss the holy panda sound 😄

[tropic urchin]

Free the pros

[cyan lark]

I think it would be neat

[tropic urchin]

Or atleast do it for your GT case @sacred elm

[sacred elm]

potentially

[edgy totem]

sigh ordered my gt-80 dec 1, so getting it in may...sigh

[tropic urchin]

What is the holy panda

[sacred elm]

relatable😭

[edgy totem]

it was the goat for tactile switches with a price thats too expensive. but it had a cult following

[tidal frigate]

Well... on last livestream someone asked about tactile he and answer was "we can't talk about it" so propably it will be annouced on new year stream

[sacred elm]

well releasing tactile he will be weird decision from them

[polar girder]

ASD sounds like shit comparatively

Da fuq

Am I tripping?

[tropic urchin]

Fake news

[polar girder]

lol idk bro

[tropic urchin]

If ASD is shit then those others are literally something else lmao

[edgy totem]

personal preference, there are some who loves the clack

[tidal frigate]

Tactile switch that will be compatible with most he keyboards on market.

[sacred elm]

they need to improve lekkers first imo, compared to other switches they are not it clearly, wooting keyboards deserve way better switches

[polar girder]

Magnetos sound better there

Cleaner

[sacred elm]

its sad when some chinese 40$ dog keyboard comes with jade pros and 80he with lekkers

[tidal frigate]

Reverse engineered rekkel switch

[sacred elm]

real

[tidal frigate]

Propably thats why they are not saying nothing

Because it would be instantly copied

Though thats cons being guy pushing industry

Everyone is copying from u

[cyan lark]

It's almost as if people's opinion of sound is subjective

[polar girder]

lol wut

[cyan lark]

What are the best sounding switches?

What is the best music?

[polar girder]

😵‍💫

[edgy totem]

https://tenor.com/view/preference-glarses-mx-brown-cherry-mx-brown-keyboard-gif-21044520

[polar girder]

Jade pros sound like a whole lot of scratchy top out there tho

Idk

[worldly igloo]

Any suggestions for good keycaps for white tofu60 redux in price range like 25-40$ with good rgb white color?

[rustic sparrow]

I think I might like lekkers over jade pros and stuff

Haven’t got wooting yet

But I like thock and not clack

[cyan lark]

There you go

[sacred elm]

what

[polar girder]

Yeah same

[polar girder]

@sacred elm

Listen to everything except the clack

[sacred elm]

yea thats one more proof that magnetos sound so mid compared to jade pros

[rustic sparrow]

Wait what

I need those

[edgy totem]

which one the asd keys or qwe keys?

LOL

[rustic sparrow]

Are the middle ones the ttc magneto

[edgy totem]

middle ones are the jade pros

[rustic sparrow]

The middle one

Oh

Erm

[tropic urchin]

The super loud ones are the magnetos

[rustic sparrow]

I got told jade pros are clack not thock

They sound kinda thock

[crude light]

any good brands for low profile key caps ?

[rustic sparrow]

Might be the setup and the comparison to others

[stone flax]

what kind

[tropic urchin]

If you want Jade thock then maxes/genty are your pick

[edgy totem]

nah jade pros are def more thoc than clack., TTC magnetos are the king of clacks of HE switches

[rustic sparrow]

I just want big thock

[crude light]

i have a nuphy I'm sick of the yellow spacebar

[rustic sparrow]

I love the deep sound

[tropic urchin]

Your best bet is to go for a faux silent build with lekkers or jade genty and foam the shit outta your board

[sacred elm]

they arent thocky but yea compared to other clacky switches they sound deeper

i mean jade pros

[stone flax]

nuphy what

[crude light]

air96

[edgy totem]

i always liked the inbetweenish, like not full thoc, but creamy marbly? hard to explain

[stone flax]

just look for mx style lp

[cyan lark]

I like the Pros and Magnetos both a ton. I think the Pros sound "nicer". The magnetos sound like fucking gunfire in my office.

[stone flax]

nuphy also sells their own sets

[rustic sparrow]

What are thockiest switches I can get

[crude light]

only with yellow

[rustic sparrow]

Can someone send me a lekkers vs jade pros sound test asw pls

[tropic urchin]

TTC Magnetos is the switch heard around the world

[stone flax]

?

[tropic urchin]

Go look for sander’s 2 sound tests on Wooting YT

[edgy totem]

i think the one that thocs the most, are calleed everglide sticky rice v2, but i wouldn't recommend them..not the greatest rep

[polar girder]

Huh

Yeah I wouldn’t agree

But fair enough

[rustic sparrow]

Ones with best rep

Like actually known and good

[edgy totem]

with foam and tape, pros or geons

[rustic sparrow]

How do I do tape I’ve never looked at it

Is it just sticking tape

To your keyboard

[stone flax]

back of pcb

chungus mod

[rustic sparrow]

Can someone send a tape vs no tape

[stone flax]

.....

[rustic sparrow]

If they have one

[stone flax]

again

[crude light]

they have bad color schemes on every one, anything decent is always out of stock

[stone flax]

sanders

[stone flax]

again

mx style lp

go ham

[rustic sparrow]

Sanders only has tape

[stone flax]

i cant tell you what looks good to you

[rustic sparrow]

On his most recent one

[stone flax]

go to his non recent ones

🧠

[sacred elm]

80he already comes with its "tape mod"

[rustic sparrow]

Oh

[edgy totem]

put a couple layers of painters tape under on the underside of your pcb. if you got hte 80he itcomes with it

[rustic sparrow]

Oh

I don’t have to do anything

Ok what do I do with the foam

[sacred elm]

i wouldnt do it on 80he

[rustic sparrow]

Does it help with the horrific spacebar sound

[edgy totem]

it should be in the case already too 😄

[rustic sparrow]

Oh

So basically

[tropic urchin]

Space bar foam does

[rustic sparrow]

I don’t need to add anything

Oh maybe spacebar foam

The spacebar is so clacky

[sacred elm]

you dont need to do anything on 80he, maybe swap switches and thats it

[rustic sparrow]

I need thock

Oke

[sacred elm]

also forget thock😭

[rustic sparrow]

Why

[edgy totem]

LOL!

[rustic sparrow]

I want

Nice deep sound while typing

[sacred elm]

sure

[stone flax]

add 300g of metal mass to board

[sacred elm]

but thock doesnt exist

in he world

10 layers of tape will help you

[rustic sparrow]

And I can’t find any nice keycaps I want like a cool design. I saw gmk lord of rings but out of stock 😭

I want nice looking novelties

[rustic sparrow]

Eh yk what

I’ll try lekkers

[edgy totem]

now now, i think adding those awe metal keycaps will make anything thoc LOL totally not worth the price tho

[rustic sparrow]

If they bad

I might switch

To geon raw

[sacred elm]

they are not bad

[rustic sparrow]

Or jade pros

[rustic sparrow]

If I dislike them*

[stone flax]

can always try aftermarket

[sacred elm]

but if you wont like them, jade pros is the way for you

[rustic sparrow]

Can someone send me any keycaps sets with some cool novelties

[rustic sparrow]

Okedoke

[ionic breach]

r/mechmarket

[edgy totem]

i think this set with htea artison on preorder is hot https://divinikey.com/collections/doubleshot-abs-keycaps/products/pbtfans-x-ray-keycap-set

[rustic sparrow]

What’s that for

[edgy totem]

i'm so happy they got a restock ordered instantly

[ionic breach]

the prementioned aftermarket

[tropic urchin]

Place you can find GMK caps or other keycaps that you might not find in other online sites

[stone flax]

hope this doesnt crack 🙏

[edgy totem]

yea amen lol

[kind geyser]

I never modded and gona place eva foam on bottom, frogtape 3 layers sticked to pcb, spacebar foam and geon raw switches and xda keycaps

[stone flax]

when did u get ur board

[kind geyser]

Mid november

[rustic sparrow]

There’s an announcement for gmk.net

That’s a scam right

[kind geyser]

Around 10 november or so

[stone flax]

?

[rustic sparrow]

Wait maybe not

[ionic breach]

no

[rustic sparrow]

It says there’s a new gmk website

Gmk.net

[ionic breach]

gmk net is legit

iirc

[rustic sparrow]

Oh w

[stone flax]

i meant its out alrhttps://www.gmk.net/shop/en

[still abyss]

okay, final question dumb question. first does this work with the two he? second, is it some cheap amazon thing or is it high quality? https://a.co/d/cJO1LgO

[stone flax]

cheap amazon thing

but so what

if u like it u like

north facing led's on woothing tho

:p

[rustic sparrow]

Ok gmk is so overpriced

[stone flax]

relative to what

[crimson sky]

eh

it is pricy

[edgy totem]

yea not sure if those legends will light up with the LED on the opposite side

[tired kite]

https://eloquentclicks.com/products/geon-he-raw-switches?variant=49587120734546

[crimson sky]

but you can't comapre them with amazon grabbin specials

[tired kite]

Is this legit?

[ionic breach]

yes

[crimson sky]

yea eloquent clicks is a legit seller

[stone flax]

ya

[crimson sky]

in spain

[stone flax]

o that reminds me chroma went instock

shit price tho

[tropic urchin]

It’s pricey sure, but if you value novelties then you gotta pay the big bucks for it

[stone flax]

went from 189 to 249

wtf

[tired kite]

I live in Germany so they should send there right

[rustic sparrow]

Eh that’s a bit too much for me

[crimson sky]

they do

[crimson sky]

yea I would just get a used bak, ciel or bongoneko or something

[stone flax]

real

idk how it climbed that much but i was slightly interested in it duiring gb

[crimson sky]

was not super interesting to me during gb

but idk

[stone flax]

fair

[kind geyser]

I got geon raw from eloquent 2 days ago xd

[edgy totem]

the sumgsn store on amazon has some nice clones and other originals for a decent price to quality

[kind geyser]

Its spanish store and its good

[crimson sky]

checked used market and uhh

[tired kite]

How long did the shipping take

[crimson sky]

idk what an "OG" bakeneko is to them but I assume they mean the cannonkeys one

[kind geyser]

24 hours

[rustic sparrow]

How much do jade pros affect rgb?

[kind geyser]

But im spanish xd

[rustic sparrow]

If anyone can dm me a ss of it

[tired kite]

Okay xd makes sence

[stone flax]

fake

sumsgn buns compared to aliexpress clone king aifei

yfm?

[edgy totem]

def fake, i mean i said they are clones lol, but the guy said gmks not within his budget so gave him an alternative

[stone flax]

and im saying aifei > sumsgn

[edgy totem]

ahhhh

[stone flax]

for their doubleshot blends

[polar girder]

Yo @stone flax

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[stone flax]

hai

[polar girder]

Thoughts on this

Magneto vs Jade pro (ASD)

[stone flax]

magnetis on qwe and zxc

?

[polar girder]

Yeah

[stone flax]

😨

[polar girder]

lol

https://tenor.com/view/okay-thoughts-charles-brooks-younger-do-you-have-any-thoughts-what-do-you-think-about-it-gif-21233291

[stone flax]

not goood

[sacred elm]

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/so-so-good-james-franco-smile-gif-12479863

[polar girder]

lol not good for what

I thought jade pros would sound better NGL

[stone flax]

man the made sounds wackoo

[stone flax]

its the board

[polar girder]

lol RIP

ok well damn

[stone flax]

its like an alu frame tray mount

[edgy totem]

he was hoping you'd say the pros suck

[stone flax]

not the best

[rustic sparrow]

Do jade pros ruin the rgb or nah?

[stone flax]

if u like the color green they dont

otherwise yea

[polar girder]

I feel like I’m over the pitch of a switch and just want want the cleanest and tightest

[polar girder]

lol no

I’m generally a jade pro Stan

[rustic sparrow]

Could I see a picture

[polar girder]

The magnetos just sound better to me there

Cleaner

Even tho magneto louder

[rustic sparrow]

So high pitches

Hurts my ears

[edgy totem]

its cool man. everyone has a preference tho. i like both in person, a phone recording probably doesn't help muich either. but yea. not like i'll listen to the board on your desk

i wonder how it sounds through xlr mic

[tropic urchin]

If you value white/yellows and lighter pink/purples. the green upper housing tint makes whites look more blue, and yellows lime green and makes the pink/purples darker.

[rustic sparrow]

Might look nice maybe

[tropic urchin]

If you run tachyon mode it’s going to limit your RGB capabilities regardless

[rustic sparrow]

What does tachyon mode even do

[still abyss]

ima just get this https://a.co/d/jjFxhDj

[tropic urchin]

Caps brightness at 70% and limits some other RGB effects

[rustic sparrow]

What modes affect fps (cause I def won’t use them)

[rustic sparrow]

What’s the good part of it

[stone flax]

6 dollars on aliexpress moment

[rustic sparrow]

Why do people use it then

[stone flax]

also sidelit keycaps + north facing led's = not bright legends

btw

[tropic urchin]

Only way to use 8k polling and 0.125 MS mode mainly

[cyan lark]

KoM in 80HE over RE-20

[stone flax]

its on the opposite side

[uneven cradle]

Increases the scan rate to 8k

[rustic sparrow]

I will probs not use 8k polling

[uneven cradle]

Polling is separate from tachyon

[rustic sparrow]

It doesn’t give that much of an advantage

Wait so what does it do

Also what modes affect FPS

Cause I get rubbish fps

[sacred elm]

maximizes keyboards scan rate, but you wont be able to use rgb effects, caps brightness at 70% but you can uncap it if you want (can cause instabilities)

[rustic sparrow]

I can’t afford to lose nore

[edgy totem]

this is with my mic

[rustic sparrow]

Scan rate?

[uneven cradle]

Shouldn't affect fps basically at all keyboards are not the same as mice and polling doesn't hit the cpu nearly as much

[sacred elm]

none

[rustic sparrow]

What’s that mean

[rustic sparrow]

Maybe I use polling then

8k*

[uneven cradle]

Scan rate is how fast the keyboard scans internally

[still abyss]

eh as long as it’s sort of not cheap 🤷 can always get new ones too later

[rustic sparrow]

Does tachyon mode make a noticeable difference

[sacred elm]

no

[uneven cradle]

Polling is how fast the keyboard communicates with your PC

[rustic sparrow]

Like does the scan rate change a noticeable amount

[sacred elm]

without tachyon scan rate is 1600, with it its 8000

[cyan lark]

In absolute or relative terms?

[sacred elm]

but no noticeable difference

[stone flax]

again keep this in mind

[polar girder]

Yeah I need 8k

[rustic sparrow]

Absolute

[rustic sparrow]

Ight ok

[cyan lark]

Absolute terms, it's <1ms difference

[rustic sparrow]

I don’t need 8k I’ll just use the low actuation point for stuff

[stone flax]

it will not look like the renders @still abyss

[still abyss]

oh

does that mean it won’t be as bright?

[stone flax]

ye

[edgy totem]

yea it'll be barely lit

[still abyss]

ok uh

[rustic sparrow]

Guys add mirrors inside the keycaps

To reflect the rgb north

I’m so smart

[still abyss]

atp can someone just send me a 100% wooting keyboard sized keycaps

[rustic sparrow]

I should make keycaps

[stone flax]

its just ansi 100

[cyan lark]

Careful though, if you put mirrors on all sides the energy just build infinitely and might cause an explosion.

[edgy totem]

inside mirror keycaps

[rustic sparrow]

Not all sodes

[edgy totem]

double shot tinfoil

[stone flax]

any full keycap set with proper kitting covers you

[rustic sparrow]

Not on north

Every side but north

1000000iq

Someone should try this

[cyan lark]

Someone else

[rustic sparrow]

Yeah

Someone stupid enough

[cyan lark]

Yeah

Yeah bully those dummies

[rustic sparrow]

I am one of them though

This is my first keyboard

[cyan lark]

Same. I don't even have a keyboard in front of me, I'm pretty sure it's a salmon.

[rustic sparrow]

I’m on phone

I need a keycaps sets for phone

Can someone send

[cyan lark]

https://www.clicks.tech/

[rustic sparrow]

No keycap set for onscreen keyboard pls

[polar girder]

There’s some side light RGB on Wooting. It’s ok but not very good.

You could have mine lol

I think I still have them

Whoever the sidelight RGB person was

[still abyss]

just to clarify this works for wooting two he https://keebsforall.com/products/kfa-cherry-blank-pbt-keysets?variant=42688029032667 (very sorry for all the questions i’ve asked today)

[edgy totem]

those would be fine

[stone flax]

i think its missing full enter and plus

for the numpad

[halcyon flax]

https://qwertykey.eu/products/qwertykey-75-samurai

does anyone know what type of keycaps are those

[still abyss]

would i be able to flip one of these over and use it as the enter key

[stone flax]

sculpting

it would bend to the side

[still abyss]

🙂

more searching!!!

[stone flax]

what are u searching for exactly

[calm pulsar]

whats wrong with the actual enter key?

[still abyss]

on num pad

[calm pulsar]

ah sorry

[still abyss]

just any keycaps that are pbt, sound good, and are either black or white

[calm pulsar]

yeah for cherry profile needs a specific key for numpad enter

[stone flax]

u ok with dyesub

[still abyss]

what difference does it have?

i don’t know alot about keyboards

[stone flax]

dye sub - blanks with printed legends, prolly fuller pbt
double shot - plastic is injection molded to make the base and the legend, most likely a blend

the blanks u sent would be the same is dye sub if it had legends on them

[stone flax]

this one

[still abyss]

ohh

[stone flax]

as opposed to something like this

[still abyss]

does it affect the sound

[stone flax]

ya

[still abyss]

then whichever one makes it thockier

[stone flax]

not particularly the method but what comes alongside it, usually thickness and plastic composition

[stone flax]

thick blanks/dyesub pbt

[still abyss]

if you can, can you find some like that?

tysm for all ur help today

[stone flax]

shenpo

xmi/21kb

nicepbt

jcs (jc studio)/leek brothers

crp
bsp

they range in thickness tho

but all listed are dyesub pbt

i think new revisions of nicepbt are 1.6? and shenpo v2 was 1.8

any would sound deeper than a livelier abs doubleshot set tho if u tune right

[still abyss]

are they on the website i sent? or do i check google

[stone flax]

look through vendors and google

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

[tidal frigate]

@still abyss you know he cant into thock right

[polar girder]

HE

Can’t thock

[calm pulsar]

lol yeah highlight that in caps

[polar girder]

But yeah plastic plate, open bottom switch and thick PBT about as close as you’ll get lol

[worldly igloo]

Any suggestions for good keycaps for white tofu60 redux in price range like 25-40$ with good rgb white color?

[still abyss]

https://cannonkeys.com/products/nicepbt-bow?variant=39873701412975 ?

[stone flax]

ya looks fine

nicepbt not bad i own a set :p

[still abyss]

finally 🙏 ready to order everything

[still abyss]

i like the galaxy one it just doesn’t match with my case unfortunately

[stone flax]

bru why it in portrait

[calm pulsar]

wait I can see it fine?

also beige vintage is goat🤠

[stone flax]

I bought another beige set

There that should be correct

jcs tulip

😭 too much beige

https://tenor.com/view/basil-gif-25099507

[calm pulsar]

nice, I like these keys with a ton of symbols

is that dyesbu?

sub

[stone flax]

ya

i wouldve gotten crp tulip but

was too cheap to pass up

around $22

[calm pulsar]

I need to try dyesub some time

[stone flax]

[stone flax]

it definitely has its place

smooth and thick

[polar girder]

Yeah

I like mine

The PBS BoB

[calm pulsar]

damn but I also want to try out gmk mtnu
I wish the blanks were not dualshot

k I guess I'll look for some nice dyesub set

[calm pulsar]

some dyesub set I found on ali

it says its pbtfans

[calm pulsar]

yeah these are nice as well, I just wish there was an option for cherry like profile haha

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m a big alternate profile guy lol

[crude light]

beige is supreme

[polar girder]

lol nice

New mouse when tho?

[calm pulsar]

ohh noctua, nice

[gray shoal]

Is there an updated case compatibility list with newer cases released? Looking for an olive HE keyboard but might just build a v2 60 since mine isn’t 8k polling

[stone flax]

What

wym v2 60?

[polar girder]

No Wooting 60 is 8k

[gray shoal]

Isn’t the 80he?

[stone flax]

Ya

[polar girder]

Yeah 80 is

[gray shoal]

Thought the 60 got updated

[polar girder]

No

[edgy totem]

are you talking about case compatibliity with the 80?

[gray shoal]

Okay

[gray shoal]

No

[polar girder]

60 needs new PCB to have 8k. Nothing there yet

Maybe in future but not now

[gray shoal]

Okay

[crude light]

8k?

[polar girder]

Polling rate

[crude light]

what does the original board have

[polar girder]

Like 1k

[crude light]

damn that's a big change

[polar girder]

It’s just like a sub ms decrease in latency lol

It’s not actually

[gray shoal]

wasn’t there a 60 revise tho?

[crude light]

not noticeable

[polar girder]

Yeah 60+ module

Just has screw in stabilizer compatibility

[gray shoal]

Ok

So mine is just stab and then no other different got it

[stone flax]

So u have the og 60?

with platemount support only

[gray shoal]

I guess

Didn’t order when the module was out so I’d assume so

[edgy totem]

as far as i know wooting's compatiblity list is pretty up to date with the exception of missing like 3 cases. which is the kbdfans 461e and holy, and tghe drk-601 from aliexpress which kind of reminds me like tail lights from a trueno 86 from initial d

[stone flax]

Not at all

[edgy totem]

theres more?

[stone flax]

its missing a tiny little box that says “practically almost all gh60 traymount housings”

and theres a ton lol

The notion page is good to see “oh thats a board i wanted”

[edgy totem]

fair enough but yea for a clueless person that'd be a better one

[stone flax]

But dont treat it as extensive

[edgy totem]

fair sorry sir

is there an actual list out there besides that one?

[stone flax]

just look for gh60/dz60/pok3r compatible cuz then 95% chance it fits

or universal 60’s cases with left side usb

If traymount points match up

Stuff like that

[ebon hedge]

the keybay drop yea

[amber sonnet]

Yall what’s the purpose of this little thing on optimums case?

[polar girder]

Grounding purposes

[amber sonnet]

Oh alright, this is my first time actually building my keyboard and I haven’t seen that in the wooting build tutorials I’m watching

[polar girder]

Yeah it’s kind of just a random feature that may or may not do anything over the life of the keyboard but also cool that they added it just in case

[reef oar]

maybe i should've bought an optimum wooting just to keep it sealed and sell it later

[flat cobalt]

Tiny pillow for sleeping

[flat cobalt]

Do it for the Owlabs one

[reef oar]

tf is that

[flat cobalt]

A good looking case
https://youtu.be/sqcwJ0pBOrg

[edgy totem]

yea looks beautiful. def waiting in line for this one

[flat cobalt]

Yeah super gorgeous

[reef oar]

interesting

guess it depends on the price

i'm looking for a max win

[edgy totem]

def going to be expensive since its owlabs

[reef oar]

yeah that's fine

[edgy totem]

i was hoping to one day own an owlab lol. i hope it doesn't go the raffle route

[dusty wren]

i cant find anythign about this case online

would u guys say a klippe t case is good for wooting?

does it sound good and feel/look high quality

[tidal frigate]

It will be sold in drops

And case will be quite expensive

So propably 200-300€ range

[stone flax]

Worse fjell w/o finish

[stone flax]

not for the price

[tidal frigate]

Klippe is fine

[dusty wren]

whats a case thats in stock around that price that you would recommend then

[stone flax]

genuinely take a redux w/ weight over it

[polar girder]

Am I tripping or is the owl labs case not that impressive?

I mean like it’s creative

Stylistically

[stone flax]

its definitely an owl labs case

[polar girder]

Can’t argue that lol

[calm pulsar]

yeah I mean, just a cosmetic kinda thing

[polar girder]

Fair

Yeah it’s neat

[radiant plover]

that is one pretty usb cable

where can i find one like that

sorry for ping btw didnt mean to

Kinda looks like this

[radiant plover]

very similar

i kinda prefer the longer portrusion of the metal part coming from the usb c side in the keyboard but beggars cant be choosers since idk where to find similar ones tho

[fallen pecan]

Plenty from china, not cheap tho

[radiant plover]

what keywords can i find these with?

[fallen pecan]

"客制化航插线“

[flat cobalt]

Ohhhh fancy

[fallen pecan]

some shops let you customize the image on the medallion

[radiant plover]

oh wow

im kinda getting hyped for a cable now

[cyan lark]

Buy a standard cable and drape jewelry off it?

[radiant plover]

I think the end result would be better in just buying one like this

[edgy totem]

thanks for this

[narrow berry]

wrist hurts bad using tofu redux case.. any sort of fixes?

[hybrid cairn]

get a wrist rest or strengthen your arms so you dont put your wrists down when typing

[narrow berry]

it’s just weird bc i’m so used to playing for extended amounts of time

[fast oriole]

Do the L45 V2 switches sound noticeably better than the stock switches?

[jolly urchin]

Hallooo! I wanted to ask what type of stabs the 80he uses aswell as what sizes?

[sacred elm]

they sound the same, only difference is spring weight

L45 are lighter

[quiet bay]

screw in and 1.6mm

ngl idk if it can support plate mount but whyh would you go for that when it already comes with screw ins

[jolly urchin]

ohh thank you! I was gonna get durock v3s

[jolly urchin]

I forgot to ask, is it 7u or 6.25u?

[quiet bay]

6.25u

[jolly urchin]

perfect thank you sm!

[gleaming crane]

What are some cases for the 60he that have thick bezels like the optimum x wooting one

[rustic sparrow]

Do geon raws and jade pros inhibit typing at all

Or make it better

[fallen pecan]

if anything it lets you type faster

[rustic sparrow]

Ok

[steep pollen]

if i use stock wooting foam on tofu do i need to remove the top layer?

[knotty iron]

I think they use Gateron Screw in Stabs, 1.6mm. not 100% certain someone correct me if im wrong

[knotty iron]

If I wanna use a friction fit pad can I get a grounding sponge for my Alumaze to keep the kb grounded?

[knotty iron]

Clean

[reef oar]

welp

my jades arrived

definitely jades

who wants 70 jades

[stone flax]

[reef oar]

i accidentally ordered jades instead of jade pros

and then i tilt bought jade pros from gateron at max price

so now i have 70 jades

doing nothing

[glossy pagoda]

The Jade Master

[spare mauve]

ordered the jades with my 80he founders preorder. in summer jade pros released and I got them from gateron like you did. I sold the o.g. jades on a marketplace 🤓

[reef oar]

yeah i may as well do that

[calm pulsar]

I mean they accept returns

[reef oar]

ofc, i'd rather just resell them though

make a couple bucks in the process

stonks

📈

[lament grail]

Does anyone know whether the lekker springs are compatible with gateron jade pro/jade max?

[flat cobalt]

Old jades are cool, but the pros do feel better. I have 3 sets of regular jades cause colors

[tropic urchin]

might get some biters on r/mechmarket

[fast oriole]

If I get new switches like the L45 V2, will the rgb still work?

[loud gull]

Housing is transparant, so will be fine 😄

If you get like Jade Pro's or other third market switches you might have like greenish housing, which alter the colors. So if you like green, that isn't a problem. But if you like lets say yellow then it is.

[fast oriole]

So the L45 V2 switches will not affect the lighting then

Thank you

[loud gull]

No indeed. Should be all good!

[quasi hinge]

Good day Drone enthusiasts

Just needs some black

[tame tartan]

i just upgraded to a tofu redux and did 3 layer tape mod and my keyboard feels different now im not sure how to describe it, what would be causing that? (not necessarily saying its a bad thing i can just notice a different typing feel)

[little glen]

Base the next one on the flying saucer from asteroid city

[signal ridge]

Rgb is on the keyboard itself the keycaps have transparent housing so it shines trough

[quasi hinge]

Its from here: https://projectgravitaur.com

[tidal frigate]

Is it spray paint or something else

[quasi hinge]

cerakote

[tidal frigate]

Fancy

[quasi hinge]

ill post the links and lore when done in wootstations

even the cable was chosen for a reason

[tidal frigate]

Uu even laser engraving

I will do same fancy stuff with my owlab 60he case

If i can take it apart without breaking

[quasi hinge]

Cable is orange

[ionic breach]

bright?

[quasi hinge]

Represents the alleged orange power cord that provided electricity to the lights in the craft

[flat cobalt]

Looking clean

[halcyon flax]

do you do custom orders?

[quasi hinge]

Passion project and most of it is done by third parties

I got the cnc engraving file off Fiverr

This guy who converted it did a great job, even helped suggest some changes

The escape key

[stone flax]

[quasi hinge]

This is from Etsy, custom cable

[tidal frigate]

Guy made sure it is up to specs?

[quasi hinge]

supposedly, the guy said they sell to wooting owners so will see haha

[ionic breach]

ye looks like usb 2

wonder how it would look with a silver connector tho

[quasi hinge]

I hope that means im good

[ionic breach]

most likely

[quasi hinge]

That was my other option

I figured I wanted something that matched the orange in the end

[ionic breach]

yea black is nice

silver just tends to pop more in photos

cant wait to see the everything together

[quasi hinge]

same haha

ill post all the links so people can follow or make their own

[spice apex]

any of you guys ordered from kbdcraft before?

the eu company that makes “lego” keyboards

[ionic breach]

i wanted to

but lost a coinfip

[spice apex]

im thinking about ordering their new split kb but im not sure how reputable they are

i only found a couple reddit/youtube posts talking about it

[ionic breach]

they seem great

[spice apex]

im kinda wondering if i could get the instruction manual and order actual legos

[ionic breach]

though im not sure how long the connector will last

that red/orange thing iirc?

[spice apex]

yea that’s one of the things i’m concerned about

[ionic breach]

those type of connectors do break every now and then

[spice apex]

and one of the posts i read said that the base plates are flimsy

[ionic breach]

i mean ya ofc

its fking lego

i wouldnt go in expecting top end quality

[spice apex]

nonono i mean flimsier than actual legos

[ionic breach]

[spice apex]

like their kb had an upside down U shape to it

[ionic breach]

it does make sense tho

i doubt they are using the same quality as legos

[spice apex]

yea probably not

i might just order it and then decide if i want to upgrade the case to actual lego

[fluid ravine]

Good morning

AH I'M RED

[ionic breach]

mornin

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[ionic breach]

had to wait

[fluid ravine]

[stone flax]

[fickle nest]

does anyone here have the kbdfans 80he case

[ionic breach]

batch one aint out yet

[tawdry tree]

You can check BadseedTech’s review if you haven’t seen it already.

[fickle nest]

yea I watched the video was wondering if anyone else had it

[tropic urchin]

I think I’m officially a believer in GMK, some of my keys are starting to become smooth like marble and grippier than default. Feels nice

[cyan lark]

I was bummed when my GMK keys started shining quickly, but I too found that I liked the additional grip it provided. A bit of an aesthetic downgrade (IMO) but a functional upgrade.

[tropic urchin]

It feels a little chalky without the shine

It felt really weird at first almost like it was dirty but once more keys got it, it felt a lot better for me

[cyan lark]

I like that chalky feel, but it's awful to have your finger miss a key when typing because it slides off

[tropic urchin]

That’s tough, seems like the shine feel either you love or hate it

[cyan lark]

In the end I've come to terms with it and enjoy the extra grip. In my perfect world they'd never shine but have the grip of shined ones 🙂

[tropic urchin]

Yeah that would be kinda cool, atleast for my build the smoothness of it goes really well with the stone/gem aesthetic I went with

It was kind of a pleasant surprise 🙂

Extra feature

[cyan lark]

Pic? Don't think I've seen your build yet.

[polar girder]

👀

[tropic urchin]

Current setup

[polar girder]

What’s the verdict on SP-004?? @fluid ravine

[polar girder]

Neat set. With the sushi lapses lazuli artisan great combo

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I’m really happy with how it turned out. I wanted the original RAMA artisan cap but apparently they scammed that so I had to look again.. then thockfather gave me the link for the current artisan 🔥🔥

Thockfather perfected my build so I’m really happy with the end result, esp since new mouse matches my lavender cable too

[fluid ravine]

Love it actually
Using it with obsidian skates and hell they smooth af and pretty controlled on my end for fps games, even though it could be because I player like on a ultra low sens.

Only problem rn for me is I'm just trying to figure out how to clean it "properly" everyday cus even after wiping it down I can scratches when swiping g my mouse. But it could be just a me problem cus I swear my dad put his random shit on top of it making hard for me.

[tropic urchin]

I tried obsidian skates on my raiden pad and I couldn’t take it past hour 6 in FPS 🥲

[fluid ravine]

Sens for val and CS2 btw

[fluid ravine]

Rip

Well I wanna try other skates in the long run

So I may need recommendations

[tropic urchin]

It was okay at first, but as more time went by it kinda felt like I went from 1600 to 400 dpi bc it would start stopping at random points and my flicks started suffering

[cyan lark]

Love it!

[tropic urchin]

Xray jades for speed and I’m gonna try the tiger ice V2s which is an in between

[fluid ravine]

I heard the jades weren't really made for glass pad no?

[chilly mural]

Smexy

[fluid ravine]

I think I'm down to try tiger ice v2

Speedy skates for glass ay?

[chilly mural]

Mmm, mine isn't too noticable yet despite playing a lot of rhythm game with 6 particular key. Might need more usage

[cyan lark]

I'm not them, but I love mine.

[chilly mural]

Mine feels nice too, as a regular mousepad.

[tropic urchin]

Oh you got glass pad nvm

[cyan lark]

Only issue I have w/ it is a general glass pad issue, where skin contact can cause more drag, so long sleeves/pro gramer sleeve can help on those especially humid days.

[cyan lark]

I dunno what it is with me - I don't have particularly oily skin, in fact my hands are quite dry, but mine begin to shine within just a couple months.

Maybe I just manhandle them 🤷

[chilly mural]

What did you do to them? 100wpm monkey type every day for 1 hour?

[cyan lark]

Uh... yeah actually. You spying on me?

Though I prefer type racer

[chilly mural]

lmao, as expected

[cyan lark]

Add on top of that programming and gaming... they see a lot of use

[chilly mural]

Mine just go through standard rhythm game stuff, so not as spread out, but still a lot

[tropic urchin]

My GMKs are starting to become smoother and more grippy so it’s been feeling even nicer than usual 👀

I will say I don’t like the half shine half not shine feel it def feels odd

[celest parrot]

nice

[sacred elm]

😳

[polar girder]

That’s not that low lol

It good to hear you like it

[sacred elm]

this is mine on 1600 dpi

6400 dpi enjoyer 💀

[tropic urchin]

I might need to swap to 6400 to make those obsidians work

[polar girder]

Yeah I run 3200

[polar girder]

Lol wut?

I’m at .15 sens at 1600 dpi

Well actually .14 now i think

[fluid ravine]

Oh fr it's not?
Damn for val is pretty fking low

Ig CS2 built diff

[tropic urchin]

More a joke bc on 1600 dpi the obsidians would slow down and stop at random intervals leading to an uneven experience that after 6-7 hrs of using I had to take them off before I crashed out

It legit felt stuck at times

[polar girder]

Sounds like more of a glitchy sensor or sticky skates than a dpi issue but what do I known

[tropic urchin]

Nah, those skates legit were not it for me. Started off okay and got worse longer I used em. They have longer break in period, but that was straight torture to use.

[reef oar]

i tried 1600 dpi but i just hated it

like i'm normally optimizimg everything for performance

i'm still on 800dpi

[tropic urchin]

If you wanna try it, I’d work your way up slowly by 50-100 dpi

That’s what I ended up doing and can’t go back to 800 so use at your own risk 😅

[reef oar]

yeah maybe

ig placebo also killed it for me

[tropic urchin]

Too big of a jump makes it hard to maintain

[reef oar]

bc i played like trash

but i think that was a coincidence

[tropic urchin]

Too big of a jump, it’s really nice if you’re a wrist or hybrid aimer

But if you’re used to whole arm, then don’t even bother

[reef oar]

yeah i am, i'm on 800 0.24 in val rn

which is like

a little below average

[tropic urchin]

Probably better off keeping it to 800, idk I’ve always kinda been a wrist aimer and attempts to try whole arm has been a disaster

[reef oar]

i mean i lowkey did the opposite to what you did

i always had hella high sens

but i switched to more like

i guess precision based games

my sens gradually lowered

[tropic urchin]

Interesting

[reef oar]

it's hard to shake the studies though

latency comparisons from 800 to 1600 etc

but i didn't feel anything different the time i did so it's hella minor ig

[tropic urchin]

It’s a full time job to reverse high to low sens, it’s a real undertaking to stick to

[cyan lark]

Same, I can't deal with high dpi in my OS, and I don't really wanna deal with switching back and forth all the time, so I just hang on 800 usually

[reef oar]

ong

i think a good compromise could be to use 800 during desktop and switch to like

1600/3200 or something during val or something

and just convert the sens so it feels the same

[tropic urchin]

You can lower your cursor speed in your mouse settings so you don’t have to go too crazy always swapping, I’ve always just kept mine in the middle ish

[marsh saffron]

I've always just stuck with the same dpi for desktop

[gleaming crow]

Should I go for the jade max or jade pros?

[spice apex]

pro

[marsh saffron]

Even on 4k dpi I never had issues

[reef oar]

pro

[marsh saffron]

Pro

[tropic urchin]

Pros, if you really care about RGB then I’d recommend RAWs

[spice apex]

i don’t understand how anyone can use low dpi

[gleaming crow]

rgb doesnt matter too much

[spice apex]

it’s agonizing to use on desktop outside of games

[marsh saffron]

Me neither

[reef oar]

it's just preference on desktop, i don't like the lower stability that comes with higher dpi

[gleaming crow]

thanks for the recs

[reef oar]

but it reduces latency obviously so it's worth it for gaming

[tropic urchin]

I ended up getting maxes to start and faded pros, so don’t make my mistake 😭

Not worth it

[marsh saffron]

I just never cared to change it for desktop + had decent mouse control so it never affected me at all

4k on desktop was honestly really nice

Barely had to move my mouse

[reef oar]

if i worked an office job i'd use high dpi for sure

[gleaming crow]

which retailer is best to get the pros? i'm in canada

[spice apex]

i’ve used 1750 dpi for 6 years because it’s what my razer defaulted to when i used it on xbox

[marsh saffron]

Probably Ali express

[reef oar]

aliexpress is cheap if you can wait 2 weeks and don't care about original packaging

[marsh saffron]

I've used tons of different dpis, 1600 certainly my most used since finding out how big a difference dpi could make for latency

[reef oar]

more like 2 weeks and a half

[marsh saffron]

I used to main 400 on rust though

But that was before I found out about it

[spice apex]

400 😨

[marsh saffron]

Then again my rust sens was also 170cm/360

[spice apex]

i could never

[reef oar]

can't even do a 180 on my current val sens for a full mousepad swipe

it's like 160 degrees instead

philosphy is if i needed to do a 180, i'm dead anyway

[marsh saffron]

For old rust recoil it was op

Now that I've been making 20-40cm the last 3-4 years I can't go any slower than like 50

[spice apex]

my best friend uses 16k

on everything

i don’t know how he does it but he does

[marsh saffron]

Schizophrenia

People that use dpis like that genuinely need help

[spice apex]

he doesn’t play shooters though so it’s slightly more understandable

[marsh saffron]

Literally just makes it feel like shit

[marsh saffron]

Still schizo

Slightly more acceptable but, just why

[cyan lark]

Maybe they only have 2" of usable space on their desk

[reef oar]

i see how it's usefull for like

arthiritis or something

[night atlas]

What's the best coiled cable that'll support tachyon? I'm seeing that all cables don't work well w/the wooting

[calm pulsar]

da hell red names

[night atlas]

performance wise

[calm pulsar]

wooting ones

[night atlas]

is that it, are there other 3rd party options?

[agile grove]

cablemod pro iirc

most high quality cables should at least support tachyon on low brightness RGB

[ionic breach]

best as in?

[night atlas]

Okay, thanks. I just got some cheap-ish coiled cable from amazon, works fine in office/work use, but I did notice some latency (could be placebo)

[night atlas]

performance!

[ionic breach]

u could max the kb out with it and see if it freaks out

if not ur probably fine

[night atlas]

is that a surefire way to test the performance quality of my cable?

[vast yoke]

just got my 80he set up. but i notice the left shift key is a bit sticky when it bottoms out. is that a lack of lube, or too much lube?

[night atlas]

or could it be, it works fine RGB wise but not tachyon mode

it looks fine max brightness @ionic breach idk wym by freaking out though

[agile grove]

might be due to the foam pads beneath the stabilizer being covered in lube

[ionic breach]

go tachyon mode and go to brightness, unlock it and make it 100%

[agile grove]

turn on tachyon and full brightness RGB. it would be very noticeable if it doesn’t work.

[ionic breach]

then open this

[night atlas]

OOooo ok, thanks guys

[ionic breach]

https://analog-monitor.wootility.io/

[calm pulsar]

the wooting ones are guaranteed
others could work, it's just there is no way to know for sure

afaik

[fast oriole]

Would the L45 v2 switches be good for gaming, like on valorant csgo Fortnite etc

[ionic breach]

preference

[night atlas]

so tachyon mode is on and it's only letting me go 70% brightness, that's normal right?

[fast oriole]

Or would L60 V2’s be better

[ionic breach]

press the lock

[night atlas]

ah i see, just did

idk what i'm looking for in the analog monitor

LOL

[ionic breach]

dont press anything

and see if theres random presses for no reason

[gleaming crane]

Anyone know a keyboard case for the wooting that has thick bezels similar to the optimum x wooting one?

[night atlas]

oh gotcha, yea it's just flatlining @ionic breach

[ionic breach]

if none, than its fine

[ionic breach]

got a screenshot?

[night atlas]

oop just reverted all that lmao yea lemme fetch you one rq

[night atlas]

those inputs were from me SSing lol

[ionic breach]

ye looks good then

[night atlas]

but i assure u there's nothing else happening on the screen

Okay, so seems like this cable I'm using passes the litmus test, is it fair to say it performs the same as the stock wooting cable?

[ionic breach]

wilba tech's salvation is worth a look

[ionic breach]

yea ofc, unless its a faulty stock cable

[night atlas]

Cool, appreciate the help y'all! @ionic breach @calm pulsar

[gleaming crane]

Thx 🙏

[night atlas]

have a good tuesday 💯

[chilly mural]

I just realised, 7U spacebar will make using my thumb for right alt in rhythm game either very uncomfortable or impossible

Hmm, split spacebar would be nice too

Too bad neither venom tkl nor 80he ansi can do

[ionic breach]

damn

weird format

[chilly mural]

Looks like a mountain in the distance

[gleaming crow]

what's this set called?

[ionic breach]

yup

thats the theme

[ionic breach]

JTK First Scenic Boulevard

[rustic sparrow]

Price?

[ionic breach]

60

[chilly mural]

Design works as the designer intended

That green not my fav green tho

Too dark

[ionic breach]

i feel like there should be 2 tho

idk how i feel about one

[stone flax]

ew

[ionic breach]

how did i know

[stone flax]

ion like jtk

feels bad

sounds meh

[ionic breach]

never seen it actually
