[calm pulsar]

the layout though... I hate it haha

but the case looks nice

[tawdry tree]

64%

just missing split space and backspace

[sacred elm]

performance is equal to 60he

surprising

[tawdry tree]

has it been properly tested yet?

[barren wasp]

its also 260 bucks

[sacred elm]

based on aimadapts weird test its equal

dont know exact numbers

[tawdry tree]

most of that is the case tbf

[tawdry tree]

Ah

[tropic urchin]

CF case and GMK cosmos would go hard

[sacred elm]

0.01mm release tho

[calm pulsar]

I thought of that as well

[ionic breach]

holdup

https://youtu.be/a7CJZK1KztE?t=264

that aint too bad

[sacred elm]

saw that today

[calm pulsar]

keep in mind the audio is likely processed

but there is a comparison at least

[ionic breach]

ya ofc

[sacred elm]

wooting killer!!!

[calm pulsar]

the side profile is kinda nice on holey60

[tawdry tree]

too many wooting killers

[granite steppe]

Hi 👋, looking for some advice. got a 60he+ module on the way and a tofu redux and some lekker45 v2 s , didn’t opt for an internal brass weight for now… after ordering I just saw some of the other he switches ie jade pro/max, Geon raws, and some others. I’m looking for something that has a decent sound profile but probably more emphasis on performance if I had to compromise. Any specific switch or mods y’all recommend? Thanks.

[ionic breach]

replacing the brass weight with smt

[tawdry tree]

Keep away from the Jades Maxes.

[ionic breach]

dont just leave it empty imo

[granite steppe]

Foam work

?

[ionic breach]

becuase the brass weight isnt just for the weight

[tawdry tree]

Raw HEs, Jade Pros are a good balance.

[ionic breach]

somewhat

[tawdry tree]

Yes

Or wheel weights.

adhesive wheel weights.

[calm pulsar]

jade max? more like jade ass

[stone flax]

ahahrahrahrharharhahrahahahaaahrharharharhahaha

[sacred elm]

lol

[granite steppe]

Awesome thanks

What mods are worth the time?

[stone flax]

it is not

[tropic urchin]

Jade pros imo, if RGB is important to your build prob RAWs. If you want maximum stability TTC, but they sound like ass so I’d stick to the first two.

[tawdry tree]

Not a lot of time but the friction pad from Wooting would be worth it IMO.

[sacred elm]

sounds like very subjective opinion about ttc buddy

[tawdry tree]

lightest keyboard possible bro

fastest and lightest

[tropic urchin]

I’d bet your next plate that newcomers will agree 😭

[stone flax]

most shit test possible

😭

[sacred elm]

real

lol

[stone flax]

"my camera is showing this one as faster" 💀

[uneven cradle]

the comments on these madlion videos are pretty funny

[granite steppe]

Could I squeeze by with lekker v2 or is true sound profile cooked?

[uneven cradle]

why would I pay $200 when i can get the same performance for $20

[tawdry tree]

reallllll

[sacred elm]

[calm pulsar]

nah $2 tops

[tawdry tree]

10 madlions vs 1 wooting

[stone flax]

this is not what forged carbon looks like....

at best its part of a composition or a pour that has some in it

💀

[sacred elm]

lekker v2 are fine but jade pros/geon raws 😎

[tawdry tree]

thought it was called that

[ionic breach]

its solid

[stone flax]

wlmouse lies

[tawdry tree]

ye fair

[ionic breach]

especially if u want something not too loud

[tawdry tree]

black and grey = carbon

makes sense

[calm pulsar]

nfs carbon

https://tenor.com/view/get-real-nfsc-need-for-speed-carbon-nfsc-get-real-gif-22301960

[granite steppe]

One last question I think, is the friction pad a game changer or pretty minimal

[tropic urchin]

I want carbon fiber case for my Looting 80HE

[tawdry tree]

Much much more consistent than just tray.

[tawdry tree]

LOOTING

what happened, I haven’t seen a new looting in ages

[calm pulsar]

its funny how they change W to an L, pretty much taking an L this way

[tropic urchin]

I forget what I bought but it had Looting 80HE on it and I lost my shit

[tawdry tree]

😂😂 truee

[tropic urchin]

I didnt even see it at first, but that was hysterical translation

[tawdry tree]

looting 80he with leaker switches

leeker

[uneven cradle]

need the Mooting

[tropic urchin]

Looting 80HE with Lekker Pros

[tawdry tree]

i don’t remember what they called it

[tawdry tree]

imagine

hey it could happen

Hejin made Looting’s switches too

[tropic urchin]

I heard if you buy some $5 jade pros off aliexpress you too can own Lekker Pros

[calm pulsar]

wait actually?

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[calm pulsar]

so they made switches for a knockoff and for real wooting as well lol

[sacred elm]

not true, my 0.90$ 10pc jade pros are real

[tropic urchin]

yeah but you need to buy a 90 pack before you get the real experience

for the full scamaze

[tawdry tree]

they had a crazy run, from cloning Gateron to supplying switches for every wooting clone imaginable to actually making woot’s switches

and they still to this day make Gateron clones

😂😂

[calm pulsar]

damn
fake it till you make it literally haha

[tropic urchin]

they lure you in with 10 for $0.90 to lull you into a false sense of security

[tawdry tree]

exactlyyy

[tropic urchin]

and then you wake up the next morning and all your switches have a QR code at the bottom

nah jade pros and carbon fiber case goes HARD

has the weirdest layout ive ever seen unfortunately

[sacred elm]

chill layout

[tropic urchin]

nah Kazemi keycap set and you have a deal

[tawdry tree]

nobody uses the right corner

R-Shift users don’t count

rather have arrows there

than a fat shift

[tropic urchin]

I wouldnt either

[sacred elm]

ive never used right shift

[calm pulsar]

yeah but muh aesthetics...
also tsangan layout looks kinda logical for setting up arrows there and still keeping the look of a bit more standard 60% layout

[tropic urchin]

id 100% sacrifice my right shift for a JIS layout tho

iso enter and normal left shift is tech

[sacred elm]

real

[tawdry tree]

I love a layout that looks functional af

[stone flax]

yoyoyo

[sacred elm]

uwu

[calm pulsar]

fair

[stone flax]

any GOOD low profile cases for wooting/gh60 (floating keys, low front height and typing angle)

Ik stuff like this exists but was wondering if there was something nicer

pls help -w-

[tawdry tree]

not that I know of

[calm pulsar]

yeah only seen those

[stone flax]

:<<<<

[calm pulsar]

grab a steelseries and replace pcb

[tawdry tree]

just run it caseless

lowest typing angle u can get

[stone flax]

;0

[tawdry tree]

lowest front height too

[ionic breach]

wait

that aint no holy 60 right?

[kind helm]

dont think so

edge diff

[ionic breach]

did they have a update?

[kind helm]

my cable mod arrived

feels good :3

[ionic breach]

or am i recalling wrongly

[kind helm]

wait maybe that is the original one, cause if you look at the edge here on a different angle is not 90degrees

(screenshot from my friend from before like idk months ago

[stone flax]

is that the unholy?

[north locust]

is holy60 have good sound?

cause with that holes i dont think so

[crimson sky]

that is how forged carbon works

[worldly igloo]

Are they compatible with 60he+ module? geon raw he? https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005007870002112.html

[lilac hedge]

Is it possible to only upgrade a few switches to the Lekker v2's or do i need to replace every switch on my 2HE?

[sacred elm]

totally fine to swap few switches

no need to swap whole board

[lilac hedge]

huge tyvm

[tawdry tree]

Yeah but that case in particular doesn’t look like any other forged carbon I’ve seen, I agree with that. I don’t think the black and grey even comes from the supposed carbon itself unless it’s dust or something.

Very flowy if that makes sense

[tawdry tree]

there was a holy60 clone on Taobao as well that looked slightly different, maybe it’s that.

@harsh dove how did the 60HE with stock frog plate end up being? The one without any standoffs. I remember when you put the keycaps on, the stabs pushed the PCB down but anything other than that?

[worldly igloo]

Are they compatible w geon raw he? https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005007870002112.html

[calm pulsar]

why wouldnt they be

[worldly igloo]

idk asking to be sure

i want to order them now

[calm pulsar]

get this variant

cause all keycap sizes here are for standard 60 layout, like on 60he

[tawdry tree]

@worldly igloo you have an ANSI 60HE?

[worldly igloo]

yea ik

[worldly igloo]

Yes

[untold wigeon]

is there a hall effect switch with like a really tactile feel

[stone flax]

do you mean as in an actual tactile

[untold wigeon]

well basically in my game theres a certain binding where i have to side press a key and with a linear switch it feels mushy

i wanted more physical feedback when i press it

[cyan lark]

Side press?

[untold wigeon]

my thumb is holding spacebar and i want to use the top of my thumb to access the V key

[harsh dove]

Nah no issues other than that

[cyan lark]

I think there was an actual tactile HE switch posted just an hour or two ago, haven't tried it though.

[harsh dove]

and it's alright, just always had that worry in the back of my head that it's coming loose so I just took it out lol

[sacred elm]

raptor?

[cyan lark]

Most if not all of the feedback on the linear HE switches (which most are linear) is from bottoming out. Sounds like you want an actual tactile bump.

Yeah the raptors, right

[sacred elm]

i dont think they are 100% compatible because of weak magnet

[cyan lark]

Ah

[untold wigeon]

yeah on my old keyboard i was able to do it but on linear switches feels kinda mushy

i just wanted to change that one switch tho

[cyan lark]

Sure but you can't make just one switch non-HE, and most HE are linear 🙂

[untold wigeon]

Panda HE

is that god?

good*

[sacred elm]

not compatible

[cyan lark]

Oh wow the real move for god-tier feedback on HE is haptics

[tropic urchin]

first person to implement that into keebs is going to be an oligarch 100%

that would be low key sensory overload xD

[cyan lark]

Fucking shit that would be cool

[tropic urchin]

imagine you get zapped every time you die in game

[cyan lark]

Zap me keyboard daddy

[tropic urchin]

when you die in 8k you die irl

[cyan lark]

Throw on there elecromagnetic variable resistance to be able to adjust the weight of a switch dynamically

I'm just tossing out million dollar ideas here for free

In fact the EM could do double duty as the source of the haptics

[stone flax]

[cyan lark]

You're welcome

[short sable]

Hello someone would have a so-called azerty keycaps (I'm from France) and who can advise me what format to take for games like valorant (kat, oem, cherry etc)

[stone flax]

Preference

[short sable]

I no longer have a preference for cherry but for sites I don't know any

[tidal frigate]

Whats your budget

[short sable]

100$

[tidal frigate]

Then look on alexotos vendor list

[short sable]

Thanks you

And the cherry I'm keys won't touch each other for the 60he

[short sable]

?

[tawdry tree]

Haha, yeah. I would too.

[tawdry tree]

Raptor 🤔🤔

[placid kraken]

What are some easy mods that you can do for a wooting 60he+ to improve the sound

[calm pulsar]

change plate, switches

[tawdry tree]

Outemu’s Brown magnetic switches which aren’t optimally compatible (you loose a bit of range so you can only set your actuation point between 0.15 and 3.7mm or so): https://a.aliexpress.com/_EuFAgXO

Soon to be released: AEBoards’ magnetic switches (pictures): #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[calm pulsar]

try different combinations of foam/no foam

[untold wigeon]

/will something bad happen if i mix switches

[tawdry tree]

No

[untold wigeon]

nice nice ty

[tropic urchin]

imma try no foam when FR4 arrives

no foam gang rise up

we must eliminate thocc

[calm pulsar]

yeah I like not having any sound layering and reflection these days

[tropic urchin]

idk why but like even with my setup shit isnt as loud as i want it to be

[calm pulsar]

if anything I gotta try polyfill tho

[tropic urchin]

lmk how you like it, if its like 50% the reflection that could be tech

[kind helm]

damn the package is sexy

[calm pulsar]

I liked the packaging on their pcb mount stabs

[kind helm]

got these two, thinking to try the plate mount one rn

[calm pulsar]

@fluid ravine has a lot of experience with it, seems like it achieves reducing hollowness without causing the typical poppy effect of usual foams

[calm pulsar]

plate mounts are way less hassle when installing so yeah

[kind helm]

looks like some really high-end cigarettes

[tropic urchin]

thats tech

well I got some time to get some

[fluid ravine]

I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED

and yes you're technically correct

[tropic urchin]

whats the polyfill tech sir 👀

[calm pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-ring-flames-portal-occult-gif-24090775

[tropic urchin]

clack gang is asking (me)

[fluid ravine]

oh you just put polyfill in the case to reduce hollowness like any typical case foam

but the affect it has on the sound profile barely changes based on my experience

[tropic urchin]

do you rec a small layer or medium sized layer? mostly tryna make my jade pros louder (getting new plates) and was thinking of going no foam to reduce dampening

since 80He is like super dampened

[fluid ravine]

medium ig based on what you're saying

what plates you getting?

[tropic urchin]

FR4 and CF

[fluid ravine]

CF for sure gonna make your jade pros louder

[tropic urchin]

gonna start with FR4 and give each like 1-2 weeks use

[fluid ravine]

alr

[tropic urchin]

Ye, I figure imma like CF alot so i wanted to start with FR4 that way im incentivized to try both

[fluid ravine]

alr

[tropic urchin]

PC plate is just not it

[fluid ravine]

yeah idk why but opti case gave my board some bass

prob cus im not using any case foam rn

but it's nice

[calm pulsar]

well he has a deep voice so it makes sense

[fluid ravine]

Yeah pc sound dead af for me

[calm pulsar]

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

real

[tropic urchin]

it really does

both plates are arriving around new years

[fluid ravine]

nice

[tropic urchin]

I was intrigued by the sound differences between 60HE steel plate and non steel plate, then thought CF would be best of both worlds that way it doesnt have any pingyness to it since I heard some ppl werent a fan of that with steel

Arc got me to try the FR4 for science so imma start light and work up for max clack

[tropic flint]

does anyone know some nice keycaps for the wooting two with ISO layout?

[calm pulsar]

make sure to use code ARC in the keyboard fun store

[tropic urchin]

if that worked id try it lmao

[calm pulsar]

but fr its nice to try different stuff so you can finally see what you prefer for yourself

[tropic urchin]

yeah im spoiled with customizing

[calm pulsar]

I was surprised I liked denser plates, and I've been on them ever since

[tropic urchin]

cant go back

[tropic urchin]

ive become a clack yapper with this board, I used to want something low profile thats not loud, but now im like a fiend

if it aint custom i dont want it yk

[calm pulsar]

real

[tropic urchin]

not a TTC fiend, but a tier below that

have you tried brass from the keyboard fun store

im low key tempted, brass sounded interesting

I might save that one for later testing

[calm pulsar]

never tried brass, but it's probably loud af

but maybe not far from alu

and I like alu

damn alu for 80he could be sick, I believe there is none atm

unless you're making a custom one

[tropic urchin]

it has its own distinctive sound to it, idk if i'll like it, but it def is unique

alu plate would be interesting

[calm pulsar]

kbdfans could make some plates since they are already doing a case

[tropic urchin]

what about zinc plate

[stone flax]

abs plate

brass plate

[calm pulsar]

uranium plate

[tropic urchin]

playing stalker 2 in 2035 i see

[calm pulsar]

that's me rn tbh

stalker aint going anywhere, waiting for patches and sick mods

[tropic urchin]

dont blame you, you'd be kinda fucked if you "bought it" rn

[calm pulsar]

there is also gamma which is insane

[tropic urchin]

from what my russian friend said

[calm pulsar]

nah it's all good, and I bought it

[tropic urchin]

ah

[calm pulsar]

it's just memes at this point

[tropic urchin]

you're in the oligarch circle then

[calm pulsar]

haha

[tropic urchin]

i havent played it yet, was so sad it wasnt in russian and instead we get shitty english dub

even tho i wanted a dub hearing the OG stalker trailer

what a whiplash

[calm pulsar]

yeah it seems the game was made with english dub in mind, but ukrainian dub is still nice imo

but stalker 1 is legendary stuff

[tropic urchin]

worth playing before? I got it on sale a while back, but never downloaded it

[calm pulsar]

you could play through the og games and then try mods
modding has come insanely far for stalker
at this point there are standalone free games where you have locaitons from all 3 og games, and it is all based around freeplay with tons of stuff to do

[tropic urchin]

i can fuck with that

[calm pulsar]

anomaly and gamma are probably highest rated ones

[calm pulsar]

yeah and it would take me a lot of time to explain how quality some of the mod stuff is now
animations, visuals, everything is super detailed if you compare it with og games

[tropic urchin]

Might be worth to vortex that shit with some graphical mods then.. I'll check it out then before getting the sequel

My friend was waiting for so long for it to release and now isnt even interested in it 💀

absolute tragedy lmao

[calm pulsar]

you mean the russian friend? is it because of the conflict? or is he disappointed in the game itself rn?

[tropic urchin]

ye, 75% disappointed in the trailer differences, english dub he wasnt a fan of and didnt turn out how he wanted and 25% the other stuff for family relatives etc, but mostly just didnt turn out how he wanted it to

i never grew up playing it so i dont have a horse in that race, but waiting that long just to be like "meh" is tough

[calm pulsar]

they way I see it, the game isnt going anywhere and the community will surely do some nice stuff to it

but yeah I am also disappointed in some stuff like the absence of the A-life system on release, which was advertised btw 😄

but I also havent checked the new update where they added it supposedly

[kind helm]

👀 i was gonna try stalker 2 after arc mentioned it a while back, saw review online appearly was buggy, then i look at it yesterday after just had a big update, worry if mod won't work

salvation pc plate with jade pro

[tropic urchin]

it looked cool, i'll prob pick it up in the next few months once my caffeine addled brain has a chance to finish some games first

[calm pulsar]

mods are super fast to be updated so likely most stuff is already up to date
gamma creator even made a couple of mods in the first day of release lol

[tropic urchin]

im a squirrel on crack jumping between games

[kind helm]

me like, its relatively lower volumn so kinda gentle but at the same time its really snappy, sounds clean

[calm pulsar]

haha yeah that's a good approach, don't dopamine starve your brain

[kind helm]

btw did you turn off core isolation on windows @calm pulsar

[tropic urchin]

i have a terminal case of video game ADD

my shits bad but somehow i manage it

[kind helm]

i forgot to do that when i reintalled my pc, then i just turned off yesterday, cyberpunk no more stutter, voodoo magic moment

[tropic urchin]

not playing retail wow def helps a bit

[kind helm]

[calm pulsar]

wait what's that

core unparking?

[calm pulsar]

yeah this game is fast af

[kind helm]

if i remember correctly, it causes problem with amd cpu

[tropic urchin]

a security thing built into windows 11 that comes turned on automatically but if you turn it off you get like 1-3% frames or some shit

[kind helm]

cause i remember you have ryzen as well :3

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/hacker-hackerman-gif-21375906

[calm pulsar]

oh nice, this is first time I see this haha
I have it turned off right now

[tropic urchin]

POE 2 has taken over WoW game spot lmao

current exp is super DOA

[kind helm]

i am waiting for this lady to update her mod then i probably will try stalker 2, this lady makes banger optimization mod

[calm pulsar]

I gotta get more into it after I died at around lvl 15 on 2 chars lol
but honor system is coming soon on wow classic, so gotta level

[tropic urchin]

im playing acoloyte of chayula lightning build on monk and is super fun

you kinda do OP damage and you stagger bosses pretty easily

[calm pulsar]

melee classes are probably tough initially

[tropic urchin]

idk every class was kinda chalked initially except for ranger and merc

Monk was garbage til like 10

but then it just ramped up alot

i was kinda dumb with my gems (not knowing where things were) so i basically was putting limiters on myself lol

[stone flax]

wooting killer coming

https://finalmouse.com/products/centerpiece-overview

[calm pulsar]

yeah that's me rn with any class, im clueless now xd

[calm pulsar]

mirror plate so you can see your face after buying that

oh wait its not mirror, it's a screen

lol am I seeing jade max low profile

cause it looks like a low pro gateron switch

[kind helm]

holy engraving

[chilly mural]

Hopefully it's good

[stone flax]

they changed the shit too much

first it was mech, then they said the special versions were he, then all were he, then it got changed again apparently

maybe inductive

or something

[kind helm]

[calm pulsar]

yeah very gateron behavior xd

[tropic urchin]

that shit looks clean

[calm pulsar]

this looks like 80he layout, almost precisely

just without f row

[kind helm]

oh yea, mmmm, not sure how i feel about that

pic is from final mouse Instagram https://www.instagram.com/finalmouse/p/CryxdCtvDE7/?hl=en

[chilly mural]

aww, i'll miss the f row

[tawdry tree]

just like it coming a year ago or for real this time?

“coming soon” sure buddy

😂

[tropic urchin]

FM keeb gonna be more unobtanium than white zinc v2

[tawdry tree]

didn’t they have a sort of raffle for it already

[tropic urchin]

gonna be a scalpers dream when the first batch drops

[tawdry tree]

where if you bought a mouse you got the opportunity to buy the board

[tawdry tree]

I kinda hope it flops hard then

[calm pulsar]

the opportunity to attempt purchasing it

[tawdry tree]

fr

😭😭

[tropic urchin]

most FM drops ive seen are arbitrary dates and you gotta fuckin be locked and loaded like back in 2020 for the 30 series GPU cards

[tawdry tree]

yeah

when I tried to buy one a while ago, shit was sold out in like 30sec

[cyan lark]

FR4 and CF plates for the 80HE on the way. Time to fuck around and, hopefully, find out.

[flat cobalt]

I got the FR4 plate sucks I can’t use the screw in stabilizers I bought with it

[calm pulsar]

damn after rebuilding my wooting module in the frog mini with alu plate it now sounds so good, like all the elite alexotos videos

love my jade knights

[calm pulsar]

wait really?

they dont fit?

[flat cobalt]

Yeah I have the staebies v2 and they don’t fit by like .5 of a millimeter

[uneven cradle]

bout to be the next xm2w

[calm pulsar]

ohh... maybe you could try stock stabs? they should fit I believe, since they are thinner

@flat cobalt

[flat cobalt]

I still don’t have my 80he just the plate

And stabilizers

[calm pulsar]

ah I see

well stock stabs are just fine tbh

just lube and tune wires if needed

but I'd love to try staebies some time

[cyan lark]

Cause it's not properly sized or what?

[tropic urchin]

my man

[cyan lark]

I hope, though I'm a bit nervous by the message about screw in stab issues 😕

[calm pulsar]

they should be made to at least work with stock stabs, so it's all good

[tropic urchin]

worst case you're just down a 5 guys trip

[calm pulsar]

also there could be margin of error

[cyan lark]

I did swap mine out but worst case I can swap 'em back in, not a huge deal

Not like I tossed them

[tropic urchin]

Knight v2s should be fine for FR4 yeah

[cyan lark]

TX AP

Anyway that wouldn't be a big deal, just would have to give some love to the stock stabs

[calm pulsar]

@stone flax @tropic urchin

[tawdry tree]

The plate uses standard plate mount compatible stab holes which are slightly more narrow than PCB mount stab holes.

plate mount holes are 6.65mm wide, PCB mount holes 7mm, Steabies and TX APs are 6.8mm wide. Hence the fitment issue.

Stock stabs are fine though, they’re not that fat

SW Knights too

[tropic urchin]

New test? 👀

[calm pulsar]

yeah just did it

[tropic urchin]

Word I’ll check it out when I get back from my cold endurance walk

[cyan lark]

Gotcha, thanks. Time to get out the dremel 😈

[polar girder]

Nice

[tropic urchin]

ooh thats spikey sounding 👀

[tropic urchin]

real

[calm pulsar]

the magic of jade knights

[tropic urchin]

I honestly dont hear the frankenswitch of it anymore

its like its own offshoot jades

much better than my attempt

[calm pulsar]

it's essentially jade bottom out with sharper upstroke

[fluid ravine]

CRACK

[calm pulsar]

crack enjoyers?

[fluid ravine]

[tidal frigate]

So they just sound like raws

[tropic urchin]

the sharper upstroke isnt jarring so you did a good job with that one 🔥

[agile grove]

guess were back in the 90s

[tropic urchin]

subscribe

[calm pulsar]

jade bottom out is a bit bassier than raws, and also I find raws don't have a sharp upstroke, at least with default springs

[tidal frigate]

Man if you are too deep into keyboard hobby atleast buy quality stuff not crack ewe

Like lekkers v2

[fast oriole]

^^^

Also in my opinion jades are a bit more clacky

[flat cobalt]

@polar girder

[polar girder]

Looks hot

Is that the vv3 one?

[high sphinx]

Guys does someone know how i can fix this sound on the right side ? I tried everything changing stabs to knight v2 long pole lubed the wire the housing the stem balanced the wire. I tried other switches, i tried other keycaps i dont know anymore

[flat cobalt]

yeh!

[sacred elm]

wtf

send me one with viper se holes 😳

[flat cobalt]

idk what that means lol

[calm pulsar]

viper signature edition

[sacred elm]

looks good but when you see the price...

razer🤬

[high sphinx]

@sacred elm do u maybe have reccomendations for my problem i have i posted a bit abive ?

[glacial wind]

finalmouse took so long that their gimmick is already out on some chinese keyboards

odd move to copy wootings layout for a non f row keyboard though. A big 'why'

[calm pulsar]

yeah weird

f row less tkl would've been way nicer imo

[glacial wind]

feels like they painted themselves into a corner. Their keyboard is going to be a shitshow to perform at a high level with the tech and without performance it's just the same as the magic75 and ds pixel keyboards

[flat cobalt]

how much smaller is it than the vv3p?

[chilly mural]

If they use the conductive switches?

[digital cradle]

HI, someone can help me with module 80he? my rgb on keybord not change to red color and i cant change rgb

[gleaming crane]

Should I lube my jade pros or is it not worth cuz they’re pre lubed, it honestly feels great

[glacial wind]

Up to you really. They’re okay lubed, but if you’re particular about smoothness then spreading the lube a bit more evenly can be nice

[polar girder]

It’s magnesium. It’s cool. Solid mouse.

[flat cobalt]

same sensor and everything as the Vv3p?

[polar girder]

Nah it’s older

They’re similar on performance but vv3p has some unique features

[calm pulsar]

mere 69k dpi instead of the new 70k

[flat cobalt]

I wish every mouse had the scroll wheel that the Basilisk V3 Pro has

[untold wigeon]

It’s outdated

I wish they made one with the V3 Pro hardware

[fathom remnant]

the best

im using already

[sage flicker]

paint peels off the metal Awekeys keycaps. just fyi anyone thinking of getting them. Haven't use cerakeys for long enough outside of the sample size, so don't know if it's true for that set either.

[untold wigeon]

their whole damn website feels like a cheap aliexpress scam ngl

I wouldn’t get anything from both of those

[unborn knoll]

Anyone know of a see-through plastic case + keycap set for a 60% KB?
Here's what I'm basing it on:

[fresh badger]

With the Wooting 60HE+, which keycaps are compatible. I have an ISO layout and I'm looking for a nice upgrade since it's christmas.

[glossy pagoda]

Practically all keycaps. There is a ubiquitous standard for the stem, called Cherry MX cross stems.

[hollow bear]

finally got my custom badge made :D

[fresh badger]

Any recommended webshops or something to buy from, I've never put other keycaps on a keyboard. I want something good feeling and good sounding.

[glossy pagoda]

This is a pretty good list of places you can order from around the world https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[ionic breach]

[glossy pagoda]

I'd stay away from any set less than $30, not because there aren't good sets to find below that price, but the chance of getting some really low quality is higher, especially if you're not already really familiar with what makes keycaps good

[flat cobalt]

Wait for Q1 of 2025

[fallen pecan]

Licensed set by FBB coming soon

[unborn knoll]

Oh! Is this from wooting?

Ah KBDfans I guess?

[elder relic]

how do i remove the wires from the stabilizers on 80he?

[cyan lark]

Requires some carefully applied force. You see how the bit that's holding them in is a C shaped bit of plastic? Just gotta push it out of there.

Just take care not to bend the wire - apply the force as close to the stab housing as you can.

[nova glen]

If I was to buy gateron jades from wooting or nuphy or some place, would they work if I replaced the Lekker already on the board?

Thanks a bunch

[sacred elm]

buy jade pros

dont buy regular jades

[reef oar]

i think jades are good

but jade pros clear

[fallen pecan]

yes but not the low pro jade minis from nuphy

[reef oar]

so there's no real point for normal jades

i think they should just discontinue jades and make jade pros the default jades

or just call jade pros jade v2 instead and again, discontinue jades

filled my board with jades till my pros arrive, they still feel great

[sacred elm]

yea no point of buying them at all

[fallen pecan]

nuphy overcharges for the normal jades anyway

[cyan lark]

If they had clear top housing I'd 100% agree with you, but instead can only 99% agree.

[reef oar]

that's crazy

[cyan lark]

Some people are sticklers for RGB. Not sure why they would go with a tinted housing at all.

[sacred elm]

I can trade rgb for cleaner sound and smoother feel

[cyan lark]

As can and do I

[sacred elm]

most of the time i just use cyan/blue rgb so its fine

[cyan lark]

Blue/cyan is the way

[sacred elm]

red is so dead

with jade pros

[fallen pecan]

nuphy does have that nice packaging tho, the ones i get from gateron direct are cheap af

[reef oar]

box is cute

[fallen pecan]

and a tub instead of the peanut butter jar

[reef oar]

only 6pcs is shameless

[fallen pecan]

wasd + esc + space

[marble sierra]

Even just extra if one or two switches broke

But most people buy more than needed anyways

[fallen pecan]

thats just nuphy and their custom box

[inner wren]

The Fr4 ansi plate is black right ?

Is it worth buying?

I dont really know what the use of it is but does it replace the upper part of the module the white part?

I want to make it black because else itll look weird when having darker keycaps on top of it and having a black cade

[paper bloom]

@stark osprey just the plate

The FR4 is just a material

And plates are for sound

FR4 is brittle

The carbon fibre one is somewhat brittle

If u want u cld get those if ur buying a case with it

If not get a polycarbonate in black which is in wooting store

[stone flax]

@tawdry tree hiya man

and particular reason why no good frankenswitches can be made with raptors and raws

i just assume theyre incompatible?

housings wise

[tawdry tree]

they are compatible but you don’t gain anything from, just increases wobble really.

the raw HE top fits the raptor bottom

[stone flax]

So i assume the wobble improvement is only gained when fitted with bk bottom/stem?

[tawdry tree]

Raptor’s stem doesn’t fit through Raw HE’s top housing though, it has a little bump.

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, any Hejin box stem is fine, or of course a Gateron KS-20 stem which is just a stem swapped raptor

I prefer reduced wobble without friction issues (BK stem and bottom with Raw HE top) over nearly no wobble with friction issues (KS-20 stem with Raptor top and bottom).

[flat cobalt]

Black and gold

Bottom one is fr4

[stone flax]

And monochromes should be full travel

Since its just a top housing swap

[raw oracle]

heya, just dropping in to ask something:
i am about to order a wooting two he, and i noticed it uses an ABS bottom case, and was wondering if anyone knows a place where i could order a metal bottom case for the wooting two he, as i would prefer a metal case over a plastic case

[stone flax]

Im also assuming raw stem doesnt fit in bk bottoms but would in jade pros bottoms

[tawdry tree]

Yeah they are. What you can do as well if you want a closed bottom version is use a switch like Deng Gods or (Hejin’s) Sticky Rices and swap the top housings. Hejin’s box stem has issues with Raw HE’s bottom but not with their other closed bottoms.

[tawdry tree]

It does. Raw HE’s stem fits in everything pretty much. It’s small and without bumps. But again, using the Raw HE stem in the Jade Pro housing for example only increases wobble.

[stone flax]

icic

Do monochromes sound deep relative to something like stemswappped raptors ?

[tawdry tree]

There are no 3rd party cases for the Two HE sadly.

[raw oracle]

sad, so finding a friend with a cnc machine and provide the stl from the github repo would still be the only option i guess

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, sort of. Very similar to stock Black Knights. Stem swapped Raptors still top them in terms of a deep sound.

[stone flax]

so monochromes but with raw stem instead of bk would work but just be wobblier

[tawdry tree]

I’d only really do it for wobble.

[tawdry tree]

Yes indeed.

[stone flax]

-w-

oof

[tawdry tree]

Precisely

[stone flax]

i need DEEP THOCKY OPEN BOTTOM (or well full travel)

[stone flax]

yeesh

[tawdry tree]

Stem swapped Raptors > Black Knights > KS-20Us > Lekker V2s > all other KS-20 versions.

[stone flax]

In terms of deepness?

[tawdry tree]

Ye

[stone flax]

nvm then

Thocking time

[tawdry tree]

Options are fantastic

but a lot better than what we had way back

[tidal frigate]

@stone flax wooting cant thock

[stone flax]

and if someone wants deep switch its still 2 years back in time

[stone flax]

you did not just say that

[tidal frigate]

Wait for he tactile

[stone flax]

Are u trying to kill me

[sacred elm]

he tactile😭

lol

[chilly mural]

If you can adjust where the tactility is, it'll be nice

[sacred elm]

just use mech keyboard buddy

[tawdry tree]

Doubt that’ll happen anytime soon

[tidal frigate]

What if it would be possible with wooting he

[tawdry tree]

Tactility for HE is underrated af

[tidal frigate]

[polar girder]

Yeah I would agree

Stem swapped raptors are goated for sound

Finnicky for feel tho

Had to ditch them

Big sad

[inner wren]

Im buying a tofu60 for my module so the plate is completely fine for it? It does it affect the sound in a bad or good way?

[red aurora]

Came out nice

[tropic urchin]

RGB so bright you can laser a drone in the air. well done

[red aurora]

Was when i first finished it and plugged in. Its turned way down now. Sorry to cause a scare in NJ

[tropic urchin]

Nah I dig the NJ scare brightness

[cedar lynx]

Am I able to pull switches out without a switch puller?

[calm pulsar]

if you detach the plate from pcb it is easier

[cedar lynx]

Geon raw switches supposed to be north facing or does it not matter?

[marsh saffron]

Doesn't matter

North facing is the intended orientation

[cedar lynx]

Went with north since that’s how the old ones were

[devout totem]

I'd say the geons were designed to be south facing because their logo will be in the right orientation. TTC, lekker, and gateron looks like they were designed to be north facing based on their logo. In the end, it's up to the pcb design to determine which way the switches face

[cedar lynx]

I didn’t even notice the little ass logo on the switches

Last question I think, base 60he foam dampener thing or should I use the one that came with the optimum case?

[devout totem]

For me I used the one that came with the module since it's thicker and I prefer the pcb to touch most of the foam and not the standoffs

[tawdry tree]

greatness takes time 🫠

[polar girder]

lol bro I used them for a while

Idk

I tried

Not for me lol

They hold a special place in my heart tho

[tawdry tree]

I’d say they aren’t for most

[fleet summit]

What keycap color goes well with RAW zinc?

[cedar lynx]

When you reused the old pad, did you have to split the width in half cuz I’m having trouble screwing my plate back on

[devout totem]

I didn’t have to do anything other than making sure the standoffs are not underneath the foam

Also I use friction mount and not using any screws

[untold wigeon]

Between the jade pro and the geon raw which one is the best? I cant decide between these two

[lapis badge]

theyre both very similar, whichever is cheaper

[cedar lynx]

@devout totem @calm pulsar

Thx yall

[fast oriole]

i like geon raw he

[paper bloom]

Depends

[fluid ravine]

How's your build so far counter?

[paper bloom]

Its alrdy my daily driver

Ive been running the venom till now and im slowly getting used to it

Idk why but playing 60grams is better than 50g

Ig its due to the initial force

[fluid ravine]

60g gang

[calm pulsar]

longer spring gang

[fluid ravine]

still waiting on longer 60g springs....

[calm pulsar]

💯

[paper bloom]

[tawdry tree]

AliExpress

[fluid ravine]

any links D:

[tawdry tree]

Yessir
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvsXGa8

[fluid ravine]

Ah hell yeah

thanks

[tawdry tree]

Welcome!

[sick shard]

hello, i just ordered my first wooting keyboard module the wooting 80he

i need some help i need to buy switches and keycaps now for the ANSI pcb

[tawdry tree]

do you know what sound profile you like?

[sick shard]

something deep and dry

kinda like a bass drum kick

[tawdry tree]

Could’ve gotten Lekker V2s with the Module as they are discounted if ordered together.

[sick shard]

i had to wait for those

and also wait for the frost pcr case

so i went with ghost instead T_T

[tawdry tree]

Oh weird

[sick shard]

but frost was near my birthday, so i could have waited it out in hindsight xD

[fast oriole]

gateron jade pros have a nice bassy bottom out

[tawdry tree]

You could get Black Knights off of AliExpress or for a not so deep sound profile; Raw HEs or Jade Pros.

[sick shard]

what about gateron max?

[tawdry tree]

No

[fast oriole]

I wouldn’t get those

[tawdry tree]

They have issues

[fast oriole]

^^^

Pros or raw he are more reliable.

[sick shard]

what are black knights?

GUGU Black Knight?

[tawdry tree]

Yeah

[sick shard]

those look cool i am watching a video now for the sound on the wooting yt chan

[tawdry tree]

I can’t find them on Ali anymore though.

They might actually be gone

wow

[sick shard]

ali takes long

i want them yesterday xD

[glacial wind]

Just get lekker v2 is you were interested in black knights. Same thing sound wise

[sick shard]

that is why i went with ghost instead of frost

[tawdry tree]

Check on Amazon, see what they have. If you want stuff fast it’ll be a bit more costly.

Probably only gonna find Jade Pros on Amazon

[glacial wind]

No one really buys black knights anymore since you can just get lekkers for the same sound without the box stem feel and it’s discounted when you buy a wooting anyway

[sick shard]

i did not want to wait thats why i did not go for the lekkers

because i dont wanna lekker wachten xD

[glacial wind]

Realistically most people here would recommend raw he/Jade pros though over lekker or black knights

[tawdry tree]

😂😂

[sick shard]

i want my stuff lekker snel xD

[tawdry tree]

Different sound profile, depends what people like. It’s preference after all.

[sick shard]

how is the rgb on black knight?

[glacial wind]

or ttc magneto rgb/pom if you wanted to do some min max

[tawdry tree]

It’s a tad bit darker.

[sick shard]

what is pom or rgb i am a recovering console gamer

[glacial wind]

Yeah but again doesn’t change the statement, outside of very few folks who are looking for that specific sound profile most would not go lekkers or black knight over alternatives

[tawdry tree]

but since they aren’t on Ali anymore, you can’t really get them. 😂

[glacial wind]

Just names of the ttc magneto switch types

[sick shard]

i found them on keygem

they got black knights

[tawdry tree]

How much?

and do they even ship quickly?

[sick shard]

4,5 for 10 ea

[tawdry tree]

not terrible but not great either.

have you heard Raw HEs?

[glacial wind]

Is there a reason you’re specifically looking for black knights though… they’re one of the oldest worst options in performance and only picked due to being more quiet

We literally only recommend them for a very specific sound profile, otherwise they’re worse than every other switch recommended normally

[tawdry tree]

worst in performance is an interesting one. enlighten me.

[glacial wind]

They don’t have good bottom wobble and you can feel the box stem

[sick shard]

Total
EUR
€48.27 shipping included

thats 90 caps of black knights

[tawdry tree]

Quite pricey.

[glacial wind]

performance wise they do not match up to any of the better options for bottom out wobble/stability

[sick shard]

its €34.02 without tax and shipping

[tawdry tree]

That’s compared to TTCs? 😂

[glacial wind]

so unless you are dead set on that sound profile don’t buy black knights

[glacial wind]

Compared to literally everything else

Even jade pro and raw he are tighter as non box stems

[tawdry tree]

Not to Lekkers, nor Jades, nor 20Us.

[sick shard]

i am choosing black knights for sound profile

cause i want a bass kick drum sound

[glacial wind]

Yeah and we don’t recommend any of those over the better options now

[sick shard]

or something sounding like i play the bass keys on a piano

[glacial wind]

I’m not sure where you got the idea you’re getting that sound from black knights though

[tawdry tree]

that’s an interesting way to describe the sound, haven’t heard that one before. 😅

[sick shard]

aligner, told me black knights

[tawdry tree]

Because they are worse options. 🤪

[kind helm]

@glacial wind what shipping do you typically trust for superbuy? my replacement venom is going to the warehouse today :3

fingers cross this time

[glacial wind]

He’s the only one who recommends those still, they do not sound like that and are just lekker sound

[glacial wind]

I’m in Korea, I don’t use super buy for venom stuff lol

[kind helm]

yee not for venom but just like you know taobao stuff. have you brought electronics from superbuy?

or just like clothes n stuff

[tawdry tree]

Deep sound that aren’t Lekker v2s. Which would you recommend?

[glacial wind]

Taobao delivers to Korea directly

[kind helm]

[sick shard]

man, living in asia sure has benefits

[glacial wind]

I’d not overly focus on the deep sound part because he’s likely trying to chase thock and we both know that type of thock doesn’t exist yet

[sick shard]

You are so close to the manufacturing powerhouse china

[tawdry tree]

makes shipping cheap

and prices even cheaper

[glacial wind]

Just like every other person that comes in here asking for deeper sound before they realize how the he switches sound and work - most end up picking the cleaner sound over chasing ‘deep’

[sick shard]

I live in the country of Wooting xD

[kind helm]

on what occasion did you use superbuy then, i thought superbuy is mainly for taobao :3 since you said you trust it, i am curious which shipping company you typically use when you use superbuy @glacial wind

[sick shard]

First ASML now Wooting shit keeps getting better

[tawdry tree]

Ah, makes sense. So you’d recommend Jade Pros?

[tawdry tree]

Het is al laat man

[glacial wind]

Or raw he if they want cheaper and aren’t fussed about Jade pros being slightly more precise

[tawdry tree]

Totally

You heard the Raw HEs @sick shard

Wooting has a sound test of most switches on their YT

including Black Knights, Raw HEs and Jade Pros

[sick shard]

i am watching it right now

[fluid ravine]

@harsh dove gonna try poly with opti case

@stone flax about the friction pad being cut all the way to the outer layer btw, it seems like our thoughts were correct about it being flimsy/folding or so.

Just based off of the section near the backspace where it has almost no support like the number keys (based on how i cut it), it's very loose

[stone flax]

Yeah cuz unlike an o-ring thats stretched out the friction pad doesnt bow inwards

so it really is held in place by the switches and plate

[fluid ravine]

yup

so at best, if it were to be cut, i would cut it like this

image from nipple case

[sick shard]

i am now stuck between GuGu Black Knights and Geon RAW he

[polar girder]

lol so different

[sick shard]

i like the sound profile between both

[tawdry tree]

Are Raws in stock near you?

[sick shard]

idk

[tawdry tree]

or anywhere that ships fast

DeltaKeyCo maybe

[glacial wind]

Take the raw he if they sound decent to you. They’re the tighter stem switch and non box stem so they feel better

[tawdry tree]

not sure if they restocked already

[glacial wind]

Here’s delta, they restocked recently https://deltakeyco.com/collections/best-sellers/products/geon-raw-he-switch

[tawdry tree]

Shipping is around a week to NL

prob same with KeyGem

[sick shard]

it ships from germany to NL

Keygem should be pretty fast

[tawdry tree]

you can check but I wouldn’t count on it

PostNL and DHL are slow af now

also because of christmas

I’d check if Delta or Keygem have keycaps you like

[sick shard]

how is maxgaming?

[tawdry tree]

Good too

[sick shard]

do you know any websites that sell switches keygem does not have the geons

neither does maxgaming

[tawdry tree]

Only Delta in Eu have Raw HEs afaik

Delta ships from France

[sick shard]

oh thats ok

[fluid ravine]

@harsh dove Ok just tried it, at best the way i would describe it on how the board sounds with polyfill would be it having the same sound profile of the board not having any case foam but without the hollowness.

So same pitch/sound profile of the case without case foam but without the hollowness

avg affect of polyfill ig lol ¯_(ツ)_/¯

pretty sure the foam that the optimum case comes with gives the board more of a pop to the sound profile

from what it seems when comparing the two

[harsh dove]

Yeah, sounds about right, I've yet to try it on mine

[fluid ravine]

not too surprise with the fact that it does avg polyfill things but yeah, ima keep the stock foam that opti case comes with cus it just adds a bit to the characteristics of the sound profile with that pop it has

bezels are growing onto me lol

usually not a big fan of thicc bezels but im starting to like it more now

[sick shard]

why do all these keyboard website have bad filter options damn

i am a webdeveloper, and keyboard webstores are the common denominator

[harsh dove]

[tawdry tree]

small businesses 🥲

I never noticed that tbh, but I like browsing

[fluid ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-browsing-cute-adorable-gif-15824740

[sick shard]

like if i am looking for magnetic switches, i would like to tick the box magnetic switch or Hall Effect

makes the search quicker

[harsh dove]

Yeah, I have the stock foam in mine still

[tawdry tree]

yeah, I think most stores don’t have that yet because they only stock one or two magnetic switches

can you search for HE or magnetic?

[sick shard]

i found the geon HE

90 keys for a total of 57 eddies

[tawdry tree]

Kinda exp

[sick shard]

56.8 eddies to be precise

[calm pulsar]

not sure if it was mentioned, but there is also aliexpress

[tawdry tree]

but it’s fine

[sick shard]

that includes tax and shipping

[tawdry tree]

yeah he needs it quick

😂

[sick shard]

51.3 eddies subtotal without tax

[tawdry tree]

it’s fine

[sick shard]

aliexpress lets check it for argument sake

[tawdry tree]

really

[calm pulsar]

fair
for me it's usually 2 weeks tops

[tawdry tree]

Yeah same

It’s €59 from Ali @sick shard

90 Raw HEs

and shipping would be a little slower as well

so..

[glacial wind]

Delta key is your best bet since it’s eu based

[sick shard]

delta takes the cake

Gundam Geon Raw Ghost x Wooting muahahaha

[tawdry tree]

see any keycaps you like?

[sick shard]

not yet

thats my next thing then i am done i think

are geons korean?

[calm pulsar]

yes

[sick shard]

Then its great

i have a arcade stick with korean lever

for the kbd on tekken xD

[calm pulsar]

I have a full-geon HE build, case, pcb, switch, plate
but now I'm back on wooting for a change

[calm pulsar]

for the sweatiest plays hehe

[sick shard]

i bought a Rap 4 for cheap took out hayabusa lever and placed a crown lever

i bought it for very cheap like 75 euros on marktplaats dutch craigslist xD guys girlfriend sold for cheap

[tropic urchin]

I swear every 2 week delivery wait time im never ordering another thing 😭 , but then i do it anyway

[sick shard]

what is bottom force?

[calm pulsar]

a lot of kb stuff is from asia anyways so im used to it

[calm pulsar]

spring strength, how hard you have to press to bottom out a switch

[tawdry tree]

the force you have to apply to bottom out the switch

[sick shard]

is 50g good?

or would 60 be better

[tawdry tree]

yeah, it’s preference

I like 50g

[calm pulsar]

yeah its up to you
60g is stock wooting switches btw

[sick shard]

50 is between l45 and l60

[tropic urchin]

trueeee necesarily evil for the keyboard fun store

[stone flax]

Reduced travel

[sick shard]

what kind of keycaps do i need to look for on a WooHE80 x Geon Raw HE

just standard MX cherry caps?

[tawdry tree]

yeah

ANSI

you have ANSI right?

[sick shard]

yes

ANSI, had to check

[tawdry tree]

that’s what you look for in the color that you like

you can check Amazon as well if you can’t find any you like on Delta or Keygem

[sick shard]

delta does not have the colour i like

[tawdry tree]

Not sure what your budget is but you could check Oblotzky as well

[sick shard]

double shot pbt keycaps cherry profile is this the right search prompt to find compatible caps on amazon

[tawdry tree]

yeah

or just keycaps

[sick shard]

are we allowed to post links?

[tawdry tree]

ye

I love seeing that dropshipped aliexpress set

[sick shard]

its alie express?

[tawdry tree]

shine-through on the front side like that won’t look as bright on the 80HE

because of the LED position

[sick shard]

oh T_T

do i need back lit?

[tawdry tree]

do you want shine through?

if you do, then yeah

if you don’t care much for lit up legends, then no.

[sick shard]

does this work?

is shinethrough when you see the legends?

[tawdry tree]

it’s also shine through but on the side so it won’t be as bright

[tawdry tree]

the legends of shine through keycaps are translucent allowing the LED to shine through them.

[sick shard]

and they have to be backlit caps?

so shine through backlit ?

[fallen pecan]

wooting boards are north facing leds, so side shine caps dont work as well

[tawdry tree]

No, it’s just your preference. If you want the legends to light up then look for shine through and if not, then just opaque keycaps will be fine.

[tawdry tree]

Keycap listings can refer to shine through as backlit

but backlit just means that your board has LEDs.

[midnight copper]

what does pbt mean

[tawdry tree]

it’s the material

PBT or ABS being the most common.

[sick shard]

this looks decent i think

[tawdry tree]

fine yeah, the profile is ASA just so you know (not bad or good, different from Cherry or OEM):

[sick shard]

i payed big bucks

i want the best experience money can buy

[fluid ravine]

Shineeeee

[tawdry tree]

made a mirror finish

that’s insane

[stone flax]

best?

amazon rev dyesub 💀

[tawdry tree]

what’s the budget sam

[calm pulsar]

shinethrough caps can't be best😭

[fallen pecan]

bro didnt specify the amount of money

[fluid ravine]

To the point where I could see my big ah forehead

Then there's my left shift
Half bald, half has hair

[sick shard]

i made it to the end of amazon

should have taken the keycaps on discount when ordering atleast then i had only the switches to worry about

the inspiration is this

https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/XM-XX_Ghost_Gundam

[calm pulsar]

just get a desk mat, putting actual pictures on keycaps looks weird

[sick shard]

desk mat?

i just want the colour tone tbh

[calm pulsar]

ah well if it's just colors its another thing

sorry I just hate highground and similar keycaps, cause they look weird from a user's angle😂

get some gray caps and use red and purple rgb maybe

[sick shard]

only if these had more of the colour pallette

[sick shard]

you are right deskmats rule

soo tired

still have not found a keycap i like

[fluid ravine]

So real

I'd just buy like keycap color themed to the show/character's color palette then call it there

Would agree with the desk matter part as well

[calm pulsar]

yeah, they're just looking for a fitting color scheme for that gundam

@sick shard maybe something from pbtfans would fit

[urban harbor]

I dont have a match for the overall color scheme but the flames remind me of GMK frost witch a bit

[sick shard]

cyberpunk would also do xD

edited so i do not spoil my bad

[calm pulsar]

too bad I already read that big smoke from gta sa is a traitor

[sick shard]

damn, what was that fat fool smoking

going up against the mc without plot armor

damn i started at arround 1:49

been almost 3 hours not counting the time i spend off discord

[calm pulsar]

I used to be like that as well, browsing keycaps and cases for hours

now I just use GMK only

[sick shard]

what is that

[calm pulsar]

keycap manufacturer from germany

keep in mind gmkkeycaps and gmkkeycap dot com are fake websites

[sick shard]

damn gmk makes art

[calm pulsar]

the main appeals of gmk are original Cherry molds from 80s, very high quality legends and rarity of the limited designs

they are also made from abs double shot, so they shine quite quickly, so it's smth to consider

but I love the shine, it shows a nicely used board

[late crow]

Did y’all’s get a fraction pad inside the optimum case ion think I got one.

I kept looking and all I see in the box is the same silicon pad that the 60he+ module already has inside it.

[calm pulsar]

the silicone thing should already be the friction thing, no?

[sick shard]

i am gonna sleep my brain and eyes start to hurt

[late crow]

I’ll try it but everytime I put it in the case it just slides around I don’t think it’s the friction pad I put it on top of the same silicon sandwich pad that comes already onto the 60he+ and they were the same dimensions.

[sick shard]

like Khabib said, why you tap, why you tap go sleep.

[calm pulsar]

you could look at wooting official vids to confirm which is which

[tawdry tree]

Pic?

[tawdry tree]

what is your budget man?

[sick shard]

idk

[tawdry tree]

haha alr

[sick shard]

i never bought a keyboard before

i am midnight splurging here

i already am lemme calc

already spent, 241,79 eddies

thats module, case + switches

[tawdry tree]

double it

[calm pulsar]

you actually need to go to sleep, you're calling money eddies

😭

[tawdry tree]

that’s the friction pad

[late crow]

The first picture I sent is the picture of the sandisch pad that I took off that came with the 60he+ module the second picture I already screwed in the silicon pad that came with the optimum case and this is it.

I connected the module usb port into the case usb port spot and flipped over the case and the module just fell out with barely even having the case flipped over and I can shake the case and the module moves.

[late crow]

It was already installed onto the module.

I just took it off for nothing

[tawdry tree]

The pic shows the friction pad, I’m not sure if it is preinstalled or not

[tawdry tree]

here’s the sandwich pad

[late crow]

Damnit I took it off for no reason

It is pre installed

[tawdry tree]

Did it fall out with the friction pad or you didn’t try it?
