You guys think it's worth swapping the lekkers in the two HE for the V2s?

tawdry tree
little schooner
#

mechanical? yeah. HE? no these are my first

tawdry tree
#

Could try Raw HEs or Jade Pros instead of going from V1s to V2s.

#

V1s to V2s are definitely an upgrade but it’d be more worth to try something else I think.

little schooner
#

I'll look into those

vapid oracle
#

Gotcha. Would the sound be different if I switched keycaps or kept the ducky keycaps I have rn?

tawdry tree
vapid oracle
tawdry tree
#

Yeah they’re fine.

polar girder
#

Yeah similar. Pingy generally considered kind of high pitch also

tawdry tree
#

I feel like it’s a bit of both. Like a sharper pingy sound with a bit of case resonance on top.

#

Alumaze was similar but less sharp

kind geyser
#

Hello guys, it's ok if i post photos about my modding here? i finished it

sacred elm
#

ye

tawdry tree
#

Ofc!

kind geyser
#

oks,, lets go

tawdry tree
#

well

Oh no

#

1-EVA foam 2mm + foam by default, i put both, default foam is behind the eva foam

tawdry tree
#

Did you stick the foam to the back of the PCB?

kind geyser
#

3 layers of frogtape (green)

#

i stick the frogtape to the back of the PCB

#

the foam dont stick, its just foam, makes the keyboard more stable, better sound, etfc

tawdry tree
#

Ah, it looked like it

kind geyser
#

i got geon raw he switches, photo number 3

#

then i got arcade keycaps PBT, XDA profile

tawdry tree
sacred elm
tawdry tree
#

That’s pretty crazy

#

does your LED still work?

kind geyser
#

it works, why u ask?

tawdry tree
#

You need to rotate the switch.

#

So the window/diffuser faces left.

kind geyser
#

rotate how? it's north fading right?

tawdry tree
#

I don’t know how you got it that far in tbh

tawdry tree
kind geyser
#

iso enter is left facing? 😄

tawdry tree
#

Yes

kind geyser
#

hahahah i had to push 5 mins for place that switch

tawdry tree
#

Should’ve been a warning in the box

kind geyser
#

i almost broke it

tawdry tree
#

😳😳

kind geyser
#

now it makes sense

#

hahahahaaa

tawdry tree
#

A few people broke their LEDs like that

#

you’re lucky!

kind geyser
#

well idk if it still works

tawdry tree
#

I hope it does.

kind geyser
#

ok, gonna try change it :D, sec

vapid oracle
#

It’s only for the enter key you need to turn the switch to the left for the whole board ?

tawdry tree
#

Well for the numpad “+” and “enter” too.

kind geyser
#

bro i think i gona let it be haha

tawdry tree
#

No please don’t

wheel weight.

cyan lark
#

I'm not a car guy, TIL about wheel weights. Makes sense for balancing.

kind geyser
#

it died

#

i got it out, but now i place it again and led doesnt work

#

a minute of silence for him

#

its left facing right?

tawdry tree
#

😭😭😭

tawdry tree
#

Another LED lost to mounting pin.

#

gg

#

If you can solder or know someone who can, you could get it repaired.

#

Woot has loose LEDs that you can buy if you send them an email.

kind geyser
#

its fine, actually when i play or work i wont even notice the leds xd

#

and prolly i gona use the board without the leds i had a corsair k70 whole my life and had leds off always 😄

#

anyways thanks for the help

#

we'll pray for the soldier key

tawdry tree
#

You’re welcome man, it’s a nice build.

kind geyser
#

thank u

tawdry tree
#

What are the keycaps by the way?

kind geyser
#

arcade keycaps, PBT with XDA profile

#

its from a spanish seller, dont send u link cause it's only spanish version

tawdry tree
#

Np!

kind geyser
#

on amazon u have some, but not only purple, its like evangelion theme

#

if not try get some of aliexpress

vapid oracle
#

Was there any dampeners when you opened up your ducky mecha ? @tawdry tree

vapid oracle
tawdry tree
#

There was a plastic sheet

#

No silicone, foam not sure

#

I used the Module’s foam

vapid oracle
#

That could be the reasoning of a high ping sound

tawdry tree
#

Yeah but the Module’s foam didn’t help much

vapid oracle
tawdry tree
#

I don’t remember it having foam but maybe it did and I threw it out.

#

The thin plastic sheet was odd though. I still don’t understand what it was for exactly.

kind geyser
#

so i added around 200 grams

I like foam

#

Absorbs sound waves

#

I want a STFU HE board

noble light
#

Yup! Had to figure it out the expensive way. They are definetly not compatible!

tawdry tree
#

Silicone doesn’t do it.

polar girder
#

Exactly

tawdry tree
#

Neither does nothing.

cyan lark
#

Or at least, a balance.

vapid oracle
#

So foam does nothing ?

tawdry tree
#

Foam is a sponge

#

🤪

My x-ray set finally shippedcalderpog

spice apex
#

@tropic urchin i bought those cheap sketchy jade pros off that amazon link and they’re legit

kind geyser
#

i think foam is a must, atleast for me, without it there is a big gap in the keyboard

spice apex
#

so i just saved like $16

kind geyser
#

and it doesn't feel good, atleast for me

spice apex
#

silicone is horrible

#

the nk87 i’ve been trying to fine tune so it doesn’t sound god awful has silicone between the plate and pcb

#

trying to find a foam insert instead

marsh saffron
#

I liked silicone with my lekkers

#

But foam + jades sounds way better than with silicone

kind geyser
#

i place eva foam and it feels great

#

atleast for me, u can give it a try

spice apex
#

holy shit

#

the nk87 is so bad that it’s $50 on novelkeys

#

$225 -> $50

tropic urchin

my wooting is on its way to ups

never luck all skill yfm?

spice apex

the sound dampening is god awful

stone flax
#

do u mean tray mount or something

#

or stack mount?

#

case mount can mean so many things

spice apex
#

it’s mounted to the top case and then screwed into the bottom

honest nacelle
#

So, top mount?

spice apex
#

idk it’s like a combo of multiple

#

i’ve never seen this mount on any other keyboard

all i know is that it’s shit

Imagine still using a 60HE in 2025

#

RIP Me

pallid knoll
#

I was about to go on a YouTube expedition, but thought I'd just ask here first. For those who have tried the Jades and Jade Pros, for the Pros:

  1. Is the sound a deeper thocc, or a higher pitch?
  2. Are the keys 'heavier'/harder to press?
  3. Do the keys rebound faster, slower, or the same?

for lubing my stabilizers do i need like a "real" lube for it

#

Can I just use something I can find at my house lol

cyan lark
pallid knoll
#

Alright. Purchasing. Thanks. 😆

dry rune
#

what stabilizers are good for the 60he?

pallid knoll
#

This might be a dumb question, but I'm seeing listings for GATERON Magnetic Jade Pro, as well as kutethy GATERON Magnetic Jade Pro - are these the same things?

stone flax
stone flax
dry rune
stone flax
dry rune
#

No

#

I still kinda dont know what tuning means

stone flax
#

ok

#

do that first

#

Here is how I mod my stabilizers. I get asked this a lot of my streams and honestly, I figured why not just record this so I can link this video instead of having to re-explain it every time. I hope you enjoy it. Please remember this video is only covering lubing and installing, some stabs like cherry clip-ins, you'll need to clip the bottom leg...

▶ Play video
dry rune
#

I mean they wiggle

stone flax
dry rune
#

Also that

stone flax
#

going off of that

#

just start with tuning

#

lubing what needs to be lubed, greasing what needs to be greased, and balancing wires if need be

#

even if you bought new stabs youd more or less be doing the same thing anyways

#

so might as well do that to the stabs you have on hand

dry rune
#

So can I just use some random shit at my house to lube them

stone flax
#

not at all

dry rune
#

Bruh

stone flax
#

i mean u can try, but it is not going to be a good experience most likely

dry rune
#

But wooting states they are prelubed right?

stone flax
#

unless u have dielectric grease or something similar on hand then u can definitely use that on wires

stone flax
#

oh

#

yeah

#

they are

#

but more likely than not u could still be facing stuff like rattle so

dry rune
#

But I mean if they wiggle doesnt that affect the sound too?

stone flax
#

send a video if u want

dry rune
#

ehh

#

Guess I have to order that shitty fucking lube for literally a few stabs

pallid knoll
#

Another instance of Amazon being an annoying beast. Recommended Jade Pro 90 pcs option was AUD $145 from Amazon Germany, arriving in Australia January 4th. Yet if I head into the almost-hidden 'other offers', I can buy from Amazon US for $135, delivered on January 2nd.

Go home, Amazon. You're drunk.

stone flax
#

dude u were planning to buy new stabs

#

u were still going to have to lube them up in all likelihood

#

whats the difference with doing that to the stabs u already have on hand?

dry rune
#

But some of them have those screws

stone flax
#

wait

#

are you on a non plus

dry rune
#

so atleast it would stay in place and not wiggle

stone flax
#

?

dry rune
#

I said 60he

stone flax
#

.....

#

my guy

#

there arent even stabilizer cutouts on the non plus for screw-ins/pcb-mounts

#

those stabs arent even compatible

dry rune
#

Oh right ofcouse that too

spice apex
#

he got it

dry rune
stone flax
#

just do these

spice apex
#

just get durock v2s for $30 dread

nuh uh :((((

also my uhhh

I just hate that I have to order them

cyan lark
#

Gateron makes the switches

spice apex
spice apex
#

i ordered those and just got them today, and theyre legit

#

for like a solid $16 cheaper than retail

pallid knoll
#

Just did! Did some searching and yep they're just another seller, legit product.

#

Good price it seems.

vapid oracle
pallid knoll
#

90 pcs?

spice apex
vapid oracle
pallid knoll
spice apex
#

i think it might be 81

pallid knoll
#

83 I believe.

#

Yeah something like that. 😄

spice apex
#

uhh

#

thats like $56 through kutethy right

pallid knoll
#

USD $69 through kutethy

#

Down from $76, or so they say

#

USD $89 including shipping and Australian GST tax for import.

#

Still cheaper than buying local, by a bunch.

stone flax
#

iso would be 85

pallid knoll
#

All I knew is that I needed the 90 pcs switch set, hah

stone flax
#

dastardly lol

dry rune
#

I paid like 50 euros for 70 geon raws

stone flax
#

i paid 40 bucks ish

pallid knoll
#

I already replaced all the switches with Jades... now just days later it's time for the Jade Pros.

pallid knoll
#

I like the idea of the longer spring on the Jade Pro.

dry rune
#

don't ask me

pallid knoll
#

Anyone want to buy some Jades cheap? 😆

dry rune
#

5 euros + shipping

pallid knoll
#

DEAL

#

No, wait.

cyan lark
#

I don't think it's terribly worth the money to upgrade from Jade -> Jade Pros.

dry rune
#

U live in the us?

pallid knoll
#

Australia

I'm sure I'll have ragrets.

#

But whatever.

Realistically, they're going to another Aussie.

and lived on my own

So I could

like

wooting

and shit

pallid knoll
#

Through Amazon, Geon Raw HE is slightly more expensive for me than the Jade Pros anyway.

dry rune
#

I bought mine off aliexpress

#

But I still havent got them

#

probably like in 2-4 weeks

pallid knoll
#

Ah yeah, much cheaper on AliExpress. AUD $98 instead of AUD $135 for the Jade Pros.

cyan lark
dry rune
#

Just got the new case too its nice

pallid knoll
cyan lark
#

It's just my opinion. I do think they are better than the originals.

pallid knoll
#

If they sound deeper and the force required + spring-back is slightly more pronounced... I'll like them more. I guess it's just a question of how much more.

cyan lark
#

Sure, and they may be a worthwhile upgrade for you. I just found the difference kinda subtle, but still nice.

#

I didn't regret it.

pallid knoll
#

You keep the OG Jades, or on-sell them?

cyan lark
#

I kept them all. I'm sitting on a dragon's horde of switches.

geon raw he

#

I think geon's sound nice and have awful build quality.

#

And the stickiness at the top is a little 👎

pallid knoll
# stone flax

The click sounds really thin in that video. Is it just the video? I like a thicker, deeper sound.

stone flax
cyan lark
#

Geon has a deeper sound than Jade/Pros

hybrid cairn
cyan lark
#

It's hard to intimate how something sounds via recording without recording them all at the same time w/ the same settings

stone flax
hybrid cairn
stone flax
#

i use split bs but wooting has none

#

so i just rebind

vapid oracle
#

Jade pros better

hybrid cairn
stone flax
#

split backspace

hybrid cairn
stone flax
#

Seen here ^^

hybrid cairn
stone flax
hybrid cairn
#

gotcha

stone flax
#

and then u make swap the stabilized key usually with tilde and pipe

stone flax
#

pipe

hybrid cairn
#

what

stone flax
#

| \

#

| \

#

that

hybrid cairn
#

you call that pipe? i call | bar

stone flax
#

its called pipe

hybrid cairn
#

have i been lied to my whole life

stone flax
#

😭

#

it could be called bar idk

cyan lark
stone flax
hybrid cairn
cyan lark
#

Pipe / vertical bar are interchangeable names for it. Neither is wrong.

stone flax
hybrid cairn
#

ya

cyan lark
#

I imagine pipe is more popular among programming nerds, same as how # is called "hashtag" by children.

#

and octothorpe by assholes

hybrid cairn
#

ngl hashtag is common among adults too, its called pound by people in more professional fields in my experience

hybrid cairn
#

octothorp do be funny soundin tho

cyan lark
#

I think it would be interesting putting backspace somewhere other than its natural position. I got very used to control being in the caps lock position many years ago (I believe this was a Solaris thing?)

stone flax
#

got used to it just too nice

hybrid cairn
#

me personally i rebound backspace to my spacebar and use caps lock to type space

cyan lark
cyan lark
hybrid cairn
cyan lark
#

I do like the idea I've heard about split space, since I only ever hit space with my right thumb. Could definitely train myself to use left to do backspace with time.

#

Nice, I do believe you. Having all the keys you actually use often within non-stretch distance makes sense.

hybrid cairn
#

i swapped it back to normal tho cause my ring finger be weak

#

i used that for maybe like half a year

#

but js not sustainable for me

#

cause i kept accidently hitting tab lmao

#

i type weird as hell so like its basically all reactionary when im lookin at my keyboard and muscle memory without any indicators when im not

GREAT VIDEO THAT WAS RELEASED BY WOOTING SHOWING MULTIPLE SWITCH SOUND TESTS!!! 👍🏼
https://youtu.be/xFCu2hSg-oQ?si=kigOR95b2xWzpBZU

Many requested a sound test with all the new switches in the Wooting 60HE. Now I can please all of you with a proper friction fit sound test! Switches tested in the video are the: Lekker V2, Genty Silent, regular Jade, Jade Pro, Jade Max, Magneto RGB, Magneto POM and the RAW HE.

See this is why you gotta move caps lock

pallid knoll
#

But, it's also the longer spring on the Jade Pro that has my attention.

hybrid cairn
hybrid cairn
#

i love those "ads" so much they were so funny

#

i couldnt stop laughing for the whole like 10 minute compilation

cyan lark
#

I think they're 21mm long

#

vs the typical 14mm

hybrid cairn
pallid knoll
#

Geon Raw HE has a 15.0mm spring, Jade and Jade Pro have 20mm

cyan lark
#

Yeah I believe they're the same or very similar

hybrid cairn
#

imma install 22mm in mine js for bragging rights hehehhehehe

cyan lark
#

Jade defo doesn't have 20mm

vapid oracle
#

Is friction pad better or actually screwing the module into the case better ?

stone flax
#

only jade pros got longer spring

hybrid cairn
#

TTC KOM takes the win

cyan lark
#

🙄

#

I love my KoMs but KoM on

hybrid cairn
#

nice one lmaoooooo

hybrid cairn
#

i hope me installing 22mm springs in mine wont break them

#

id really hate to see them KoMbust

cyan lark
#

Turns out that was the secret for fusion reaction after all

pallid knoll
#

Think I'll stick with the Jade Pro order for now and sell the Jades when they arrive. Tempted for HE but am pretty certain I'll prefer the feel of the longer spring. cbf custom modding the switches.

stone flax
#

do people actually like traymount

stone flax
#

i assume this is mostly just for the longer spring?

#

geon needs to drop long he springs

#

👅

hybrid cairn
#

buy longer spring, install longer spring, profit

stone flax
#

all too easy

cyan lark
#

God I wish I could collapse messages

pallid knoll
#

In that video above, HE and Jade Pro both clearly sound better than normal Jades. So that's a win. But yeah, the spring is the drawcard.

Price difference for me is about AUD $40 (USD $25). Buying longer springs and spending the time installing them isn't something I want to do for the sake of $25.

hybrid cairn
pallid knoll
#

I'll just cop the price diff and await delivery of the Jad Pros.

hybrid cairn
#

and thats on the high end

pallid knoll
#

Yeah cbf.

hybrid cairn

¯_(ツ)_/¯

cyan lark
#

I swear I have to look up an initialism from here multiple times each day

what

hybrid cairn

ye

cyan lark
#

So cbf is "cubf"?

hybrid cairn
#

sorta

stone flax
#

its short for cant be fondled

fallen pecan
#

lawl vs l-o-l

stone flax
#

he cant be fondled to spring swap

pallid knoll
#

Attempting to pronounce cbf as an acronym sounds something like "caboof"... it's a stretch that requires addition. Thus remains technically an initialism. 🙂

Though you'd be missing out on the longer spring bit

hybrid cairn
#

reactions of people are thhe most fun in person

pallid knoll
#

Length?

cyan lark
#

I imagine weight

#

I've thought about popping my 60g lekker springs into my OG Jades to try them out

hybrid cairn
thorn spire
#

I think it will be lighter when press idk

cyan lark
#

There was a monstah either here or in 80HE channel talking about putting I think 100g into everything. I couldn't imagine the pain.

#

Jade pro springs are pretty light already, just fyi

cyan lark
#

I think the lightest lekker spring pack, the 35g, is only 1g lighter than the jade pros?

#

Yeah, they're 36

vapid oracle
#

Bois should I be buying the module from wooting or off another website what would be faster ?

cyan lark
#

I do lift, don't climb, but I worry the shock of bottoming out w/ all that force plus how much I use keyboards I'd cause myself real injury.

stone flax
#

tldr its by geon, has good performance, is half the cost of the module, has center udb support for expanded case options, has increased layout options (7u, 6.25u, tsangan bottom, split bs), performance on par with 80he if not better in current state (8khz 0.1mm ap/rt), great fw and sw, and development is nice

And yeah yeah I shouldn't bottom out, but how else am I gonna hear that KoM machinegun fire

the venom60 performs better than a wooting60

#

just like... flatly

hybrid cairn
#

you said better than 80he tho

stone flax
#

smaller board

#

so not exactly shocking

hybrid cairn
#

interesting

#

makes sense tho

cyan lark
#

Those ms response times?

#

If so, I could not tell the difference between any of them, no shot.

hybrid cairn
#

we need to get a 1/2 split board with 8khz true polling for peak performance

cyan lark
#

I don't think any human could, but I'm not gonna argue

stone flax
#

like ofc u arent dude

hybrid cairn
cyan lark
#

I get that it adds up in the chain

hybrid cairn
stone flax
#

but it does give a number that then fills up the idea everything just feels more responsive when added up

fallen pecan
#

some people just like to have their gear to have the best numbers, regardless if they can feel it or not

stone flax
#

like ik people who had a wooting, switched to venom, and went "yeah i can feel it this is tighter"

#

and thats it

#

just tighter

cyan lark
#

Sure it does, if there's 5 things adding 10ms each, that's 50 millis, which is noticeable.

stone flax
#

only reason there is to shill venom is because geon's behind it, performance and whatever now doesnt matter half as much if it doesnt carry anything as close to the support wooting would have down the line

#

but it looks like geon does care so :3

cyan lark
#

Well you gotta market

stone flax
hybrid cairn
cyan lark
#

Same w/ wooting on the 8khz feature

stone flax
#

yeah the bigger number race is funny

cyan lark
#

I'm saying that in a serialized pipeline of delays, the entire pipeline may be noticeable where the individual bits may not

#

Just how it goes. I'm not saying it actually is in practice.

hybrid cairn
# cyan lark Same w/ wooting on the 8khz feature

8khz is probably where it ends when it comes to useful amount of hz, anything above that requires a framerate higher than is possible by monitors rn and humans cant notice the diff bettween them at 8k, if 8k isnt where the spd game stops then its damn close to getting there

cyan lark
#

Anyway, getting kinda lost in the sauce.

stone flax
#

i like all this yapping abt the 8khz numbah when venom does all that other stuffs

#

xd

fallen pecan
#

geon is developing a feature to maximize scan for 8~10 keys which allows 0.12ms latencies for those keys

cyan lark
#

I don't care about 8khz, don't even use tachyon on my 80 cause it's extra juice for no reason for me.

is there any major sound differences between the lekker v1.5 and the lekker v2?

stone flax
#

less of a diff than 1 to 1.5

#

nothing to buy v2's for when u alr have v1.5 type deal

hybrid cairn
fast oriole
#

is it even worth it to upgrade from the stock 60he+ switches then to the l45s? these switches do feel a bit heavier

I'm really looking forward to some after market metal being produced for the 80HE. The zinc alloy feels great, but looks like naff kiddy shit because of the treatment around the edging.

Well, other than the medicated feet on it

But I don't see those while in use anyway

pallid knoll

Very subjective. And I hate it. 😆 Thankfully it feels great.

10 key is enough for most rhythm game that's played on keyboard

I’ve been using mechanical switches and I play better with them I think it’s because they have 33 gram force

small lance
#

What’s a switch that is 33 grams and Hall effect

small lance
#

Or 35

hybrid cairn
cyan lark
#

That and anything you spring swap to 35g

waow

rgb are one of the reason I got the 80heeeee

i can change the aesthetic of my setup with a click of a button its so dope, and since most of my things are black my room overall looks the same

#

its pretty sick, emphasiss on the pretty

hybrid cairn
cyan lark
#

Just something to keep in mind so you don't box yourself in

hybrid cairn
#

js plop em open, pick it up, swap the spring, place them together, s a n d w h i c h, then ur done

small lance
#

I’ll consider it since I like trying new things

cyan lark
#

I had to call my wife over to do the sandwich once. It's so satisfying.

#

And no that's not a euphemism.

hybrid cairn
cyan lark
#

Reassembling a switch. The last step.

small lance
#

Ttc magnetic switches are a dollar each how’s the wobble

cyan lark
#

Feels good to click it back together

hybrid cairn
#

so u called u wife over to assemble the switch?

hybrid cairn
cyan lark
#

Just push it back together to see how it felt. Y'know what, she's my wife and I'll beat her when I want to.

hybrid cairn
#

cons: very loud, and clacky

#

tho thats a pro for me

cyan lark
#

joke

small lance
cyan lark
#

KoMs don't wobble, they are a faithful bunch.

small lance
#

Will it be crazy if I only buy 10 for the movement keys

cyan lark
#

Nah, do it.

#

Though you'll just end up getting 80 more once you get a taste.

small lance
#

I might because although I don’t care about wobble when gaming I hate it when typing

0.0001ms faster because less deadzone

I should order from ipopularshop right ?

you get a plastic switch puller for all skus too

cyan lark

Oh no

#

small lance
#

Y’all got me excited for those switches

#

I haven’t event gotten the 80he yet lol

cyan lark
#

The KoMs? They're kinda polarizing, but I like 'em

vapid oracle
#

Jade pros

small lance
#

Yeah,can’t wait to try them tbh but I’ll wait till my keyboard gets closer

cyan lark
#

They're fun, but hopefully you don't plan to use them near anybody that might be asleep 📣

fast oriole
#

does the polycarbonate plate with the silicone make a good sound difference

pallid knoll
small lance
#

Jade pros make less sound ?

cyan lark
#

Far less

small lance
#

Alr

#

Just gonna order 10 to try them when I get 80he

#

I’ll try the l60s first haven’t tried them in a while

cyan lark
#

Esp. since they're pricey, yeah you may wanna try a sample first

small lance
#

I even realized my movement is so much cleaner with 1.0 or I think 1.5 actuation force

#

It’s either that or the 33 grams switches

#

But it’s way cleaner

fast oriole
small lance
#

Using my apex 9

#

Keyboard

fast oriole
#

ah i see

#

do they feel good for typing though?

small lance
#

Nah they’re clacky af

#

Stem wobble is crazy

#

That’s why I might just buy 10 for movement keys

fast oriole
#

ohh so thats not anything to do with the force needed though right

small lance
#

Oh I know what you mean now

#

Tbh it’s not the great but it gets the job done for basic writing

#

I get typos once in a while

fast oriole
#

im on the verge between lekker l45 v2s and gateron jade pros i cant decide

small lance
#

I had l45 v1 and they were not the lightest

small lance
#

If you really want light go jade pros

fast oriole
#

or should i get jade max's, or is there problems with those

#

and are jade pros good for gaming as well

small lance
fast oriole
#

since they aren't made for wooting switches yk, im very new to keyboard modding

small lance
#

All magnetic switches are the same or nearly the same for gaming you’d just change them for sound or stem wobble

fast oriole
#

are the pro maxes good?

fallen pecan
#

iphone? yeah theyre nice

vapid oracle
#

Black keycaps recommendations?

fast oriole
fallen pecan
#

mostly the maxes, cos they stick

fast oriole
#

ah, what about geon raw he

fallen pecan
#

for most people the raws are about the same as jade pros

#

but the pros are more stable on paper

fast oriole
#

Hmmm I see

#

Is the 3.5mm travel on jades a noticable difference from the lekker switches, positive negative or neutral

vapid oracle
#

Jades pro I heard are better then L45 v2’s

#

But it’s all preference

south swallow
#

Does anyone know if the friction fit pad is compatible with the iso-uk layout?

Now I’m on the fence between jade pros and GEON raw he

It can, just be careful since it can break easily

fast oriole
#

The puller itself?

chilly mural
#

yeah

fast oriole
#

Ok

fallen pecan
#

snaps easily if you're not careful

fast oriole
#

So just use light pressure?

#

Or should I just get a 7$ metal one from Amazon

#

Does it have to be like specialized for Hall effect switches or can it be a general switch puller

or 1 of them is better?

He means dont get either of them

my friends told to me raptors better performance and feel than lekker v1

Can you put ANSI keycaps on an ISO keyboard?
