[inner wren]

Oh alr my baddd

[calm pulsar]

prussian blue is sooo goood

love the color

[inner wren]

Why does it look like green gray and blue at the same time

[inland jetty]

ok, how about this theme? would that be enough color contrast?

[calm pulsar]

seems better on contrast, but again ultimately its your preference

[inland jetty]

color contrast is important for me 😄

and the color theme is still my preference, not to worry ❤️

[bright palm]

this one i like alot

link?

[inland jetty]

this is probably the best one available out of all the KAT profiles but i like blue hahaha

[inland jetty]

#1320534616561549343

[inland jetty]

which base do you like the best? the klight best is my choice for that

[bright palm]

I want the GT-80 Base

but a bit pricy, but looks high quality so fair tradeoff

[inland jetty]

oh on the link i sent xD

[frosty coral]

sideminded

could u pls help me

[inland jetty]

i got nothin, i havent touched these things since I modded my 60he

[bright palm]

Wahts up man?

[frosty coral]

dyk how stabs work

[bright palm]

bruh that vid is 3 pixels

[inland jetty]

he took it off

[frosty coral]

ill try using chat

[inland jetty]

hes asking how to put it back

[frosty coral]

i fixed it kinda

butwheniputmykeycapback

andlikedoesnt

idkman

idkhowtoexsplainit

[inland jetty]

oh its stuck

[frosty coral]

yeah

[stone flax]

ur 360p video shows nothing

[frosty coral]

itwontgoupanddown

[bright palm]

ok sounds like a clip on the side is broken and it gets pushed into the keyboard when u put on key?

[frosty coral]

naifixedit

fuckelmmegetmyphonenmakeavid

sorryifimnottypinginspaces

[inland jetty]

i hate stabs, honestly.

[bright palm]

how hard did you smash the keyboard? 😄

[inland jetty]

🤣

did u see the link btw? for the caps

i know ur looking for blue caps as well

[tawdry tree]

your wire isn’t in the stem

from the looks of it

remove the wire, push the stem down and insert the wire again

[frosty coral]

dont mind my setup

moving out rn

n my desk is in a van

[bright palm]

ok yeah i know the issue

the stabs are either not in correctly or its broken somehow

[tawdry tree]

^

[bright palm]

(usualy from a firm smash to the spacebar)

we have all been there

[frosty coral]

I didnt smash anything

i was taking keycap out

trying to do a mod

[inland jetty]

thats rough

[frosty coral]

then the stem stuff

comes out on the

that thing

n i forced it back in while it still being in the keycap

[tawdry tree]

take the stabs out

and try what I said

[bright palm]

It looks like he has from the thread he made

but idk

[frosty coral]

yea i have

[bright palm]

there is ur issue

[frosty coral]

i tried like

[bright palm]

compare that side

to the other side

[frosty coral]

yea i dont even know

[bright palm]

you see its not in the stem

so the wire has to go in the movable part of the stem

[frosty coral]

lemme see

[bright palm]

so take the wire out of that side, push the stem down and then insert the wire

[tawdry tree]

it’s impressive you managed to pull the stem above the wire tbh

[bright palm]

hahaahah yeah

[tawdry tree]

oh

is it broken?

[bright palm]

kinda looks like it but hope its fixable for him

[tawdry tree]

😬

[inland jetty]

bro i was looking at it

im just like, they should look the same right?

LOL

[bright palm]

looks like he pulled the stem out of the wire

[tawdry tree]

I have no clue how that even happened

[bright palm]

snapping that little cross plastic piece

[tawdry tree]

it shouldn’t even be possible lol

[inland jetty]

how does that even happen

[stone flax]

skill issue

obv

[tawdry tree]

😭

[inland jetty]

yanking it maybe?

[bright palm]

He is HIM

[tawdry tree]

@frosty coral can you take the wire out?

do you know how to do that?

[bright palm]

Well he is gone now so either furiously trying to fix it or his keyboard is lodged in the wall atm

[inland jetty]

🤣

thats rough, goddamn lmao

stabs are akways annoying to deal with. theyre so inconsistent

[frosty coral]

fixed

ez

[bright palm]

LOL

[frosty coral]

why does my kb sound so fucked

i dont like it

[bright palm]

sounds like a standard keyboard

thats factory lubed

maybe not actually

[frosty coral]

spacebar sounds so dogshit

it is

its whatever wooting did

i think i fucked the lube a bit

[bright palm]

normal that spacebar sounds way different than the rest btw

anything with stabs

What do you do for work?

[frosty coral]

memecoins

and school

[bright palm]

cause the Stab lube is generic molycote so ez to source if you work with some type of mechanical work

ah okay

[frosty coral]

so im confused

[bright palm]

your scool have a workshop

[frosty coral]

so do i gotta relube stabs

[bright palm]

nah

[frosty coral]

wood workshop or wtv yeah

why

[bright palm]

just if you wanted to

[inland jetty]

which 13 year olds are you guys scamming next? i know logan na dmr beast are tapped out

[bright palm]

cus you can go steal some lube there

[frosty coral]

shld i get new stabs

[bright palm]

was it broken

[frosty coral]

im 16

[bright palm]

or just not in right like i said?

[frosty coral]

im not scamming

[inland jetty]

its a joke

[frosty coral]

my bad

[frosty coral]

ill keep it real bro

idk shit ab keyboards

[bright palm]

nah thats gine

[frosty coral]

it has the factory fosm for reddux tho

maybe irs foam idk

[inland jetty]

u dont really have to buy new stabs unless u have extra money lying around

[frosty coral]

imma do tape mod soon

will it make it sound less fucked

can u guess my switches

[bright palm]

okay but back to the stabs, was the stem broken or was the wire just not in right?

[frosty coral]

wire wasnt in right

the stem was like

[inland jetty]

my spacebar sounds pretty trash as well tbh, let mer ecord it

[frosty coral]

the other way around

[bright palm]

so as long as stem is fine you dont need new

[frosty coral]

it dont sound like rest

[bright palm]

if you wanna alter the sound just relube the stems

a bit more thonk

[frosty coral]

which fucks me

[bright palm]

yeah but thats normal

[reef oar]

tape mod is so easy to do

[bright palm]

Anything with stabs sound different than just single keys

[reef oar]

i'd do that before relubing anything

[tawdry tree]

get the friction pad @frosty coral and maybe screw in stabs (if you have the 60HE+).

[bright palm]

hes just complaining about the spacebar

[frosty coral]

stf does this mean

yea ofc 60he

[bright palm]

just trey the shift, enter etc

the ones with stabs

and you can hear that those also sound different

[tawdry tree]

The friction pad Wooting sells. It’ll help the sound a lot.

[sacred elm]

• ?

[frosty coral]

idk bro

i got it like 6 months ago

[tawdry tree]

If you want different stabs as well that are screw ins, you need the 60HE+, only the + version is compatible.

[frosty coral]

from website

[bright palm]

https://wooting.io/product/friction-fit-pad?Title=Default+Title

[tawdry tree]

From Wooting?

[inland jetty]

@frosty coral don't feel bad my spacebar sounds like this

[frosty coral]

ya

[tawdry tree]

Then you have the 60HE+

[frosty coral]

sounds good

i want mine to sound like that

[tawdry tree]

I’d still check the box if you have it though, just to be sure.

[sacred elm]

get knight v2 screw in stabs

[reef oar]

sounds ceramic

[inland jetty]

That's with stock stabs

[inland jetty]

That's interesting actually

[frosty coral]

better vid with the enter key n shit

[tawdry tree]

Friction Pad
A PC or FR4 plate
SW Knight V2 stabs.

[frosty coral]

its local

shld i get this

[tawdry tree]

No.

SW Knight V2s

[tawdry tree]

This really.

😂

[frosty coral]

should i get it for all my shit

[tawdry tree]

I would

[inland jetty]

What I meant was, I'm using stock stabs but I modded it with plumbers tape, some grease. The case, foam types and key caps will change ur sound profile

[frosty coral]

or js sace

[tawdry tree]

Will drastically improve the sound.

[frosty coral]

i got told to put foam

n itll go away

[tawdry tree]

😂😂

[sacred elm]

lol

[bright palm]

yeah but you hear in that vid that anything with stabs sound different

[tawdry tree]

I want some magic foam too

[inland jetty]

I have sound dampening mat on mine 😂

[frosty coral]

can u guess my switches

[sacred elm]

your spacebar sounds atrocious, you either tune it and lube it or just order new stabs like knight v2, foam wont help you

[reef oar]

fill your case with peanut butter

[bright palm]

do you have pe switch pads for yours?

[frosty coral]

can u guys guess my switches

[bright palm]

jades?

[frosty coral]

jade pros

i think they gave me jades not pros

idk man

got it off ali

[sacred elm]

😂😂

[inland jetty]

That's crazy

My shit still has the good ol v1's 😂

[reef oar]

just check the top housing

[sacred elm]

🤮

[inland jetty]

Tuning and lubing and plumbers mod really did wonders to my spacebar

[bright palm]

you got jades of ali?

[frosty coral]

yeah

[tawdry tree]

A sheet, both sheets or pads have a very minimal effect.

[bright palm]

ah okay

[tawdry tree]

remove a keycap and make a pic

if the top housing is translucent blue, it’s the Jade Pros. If not, it’s the Jades.

[inland jetty]

Telling u bro, tune, lube and mod those stock stabs first before u buy new ones ❤️

[frosty coral]

idk man

[tawdry tree]

Pros!

[sacred elm]

buying new ones is a better idea, cus he has plate mount stabs right now

[tawdry tree]

and one is broken.

[frosty coral]

bc lowk im not tryna spend time putting tape in it and like

buying lube

[sacred elm]

buy knight v2

[frosty coral]

id rather justget new stabs

not do all that shit

n call it a day

[tawdry tree]

With new stabs, you still need to lube

[frosty coral]

i wld get 80he but bro that rgb shit pisses me off

[tawdry tree]

but it takes like 15min at most.

[frosty coral]

yea lubin dont look hard

[sacred elm]

what rgb

[tawdry tree]

RGB bar

[frosty coral]

rgb line thing

on arrow

[inland jetty]

mine sound decent and those are stock stabs. it sounded so ass before tuning

[tawdry tree]

Why do u want the 80HE?

[inland jetty]

has anyone used these before? https://www.ebay.com/itm/393312662819?_skw=noise+grabber+vinyl&itmmeta=01JFRGT3PCJBDRR9JBRVHKPEMW&hash=item5b9342f523:g:Tc0AAOSwWPtgmsZK&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkiRvSmpQlEkPQ337e%2FfuS3G7EOP%2FhqdVfihzfEmune7xF5SvCsRQ5qjh2%2F8aBbIbw%2B4ijpS1wuKj9FVK%2BsVplWSmItZHsQhnw0hXc28oIJ2cEgGaIn3AhzMh9rVBKRDKHC0OQvGGUWdP0k2USWaTDFyZaL6l2EShRqmvZh0BZ%2Bfz6l%2BnoVeDvNZngiphqKms0%2FCC8rMTnp2kjncHMhmrYBVsj50yulwIiV9Eb8Ht4vOIf1cthwfZpwegZ%2BYzytcwg%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6C76JD-ZA

[frosty coral]

60 dont got arrows n it sucks but just lookjng for a final endgame kb

[tawdry tree]

As case foam?

[frosty coral]

i dont wanna buy a kb ever again

js max mod that shit n call it the next 10 years

[reef oar]

buy the 80he module then

[sacred elm]

he already has 60he

why would he

[reef oar]

sell it

[inland jetty]

yep

[sacred elm]

[reef oar]

he doesn't like the 60

[frosty coral]

i like it

its just that

arrow keys wld be nice

[sacred elm]

use mod tap

[reef oar]

you can have arrow keys

[frosty coral]

doing a new mod

lets see if anyth happens

[reef oar]

what the fuck

[frosty coral]

tissue paper

[sacred elm]

https://youtu.be/ei2I7wYRHlI?si=QHRJtRygHueyE9p6

[inland jetty]

wtf

[reef oar]

hold up maybe he's cooking

[tawdry tree]

I used dedicated arrows like this because I didn’t use any of those keys.

[frosty coral]

no joke this shit made my stuff sound more thock

[inland jetty]

ohhhh

[reef oar]

he's found the new meta

[frosty coral]

theres just rattling now

[inland jetty]

i mean, ur filling space, so i guess

[tawdry tree]

steel plate with Jade Pros hurts

[sacred elm]

bro thats max level cope, just get new stabs

[sacred elm]

why

[tawdry tree]

So sharp

[inland jetty]

plumbers tape and grease solved 99% of my stab issues, just sayin,

[sacred elm]

I tested pros on my 60, I liked it

[tawdry tree]

u crazy

for any sound profile I tried, the steel plate is so shit

[reef oar]

melt it down and make a keycap

[sacred elm]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1301116735021121568/1319770340229910558/IMG_1033.mov?ex=6769ce69&is=67687ce9&hm=5f8bd352ff5c0aee8ffc2843ff9b6d5a592d4af9ceb98438ece05200e380a148&

RT Jade pros

YU jades

steel plate

[tawdry tree]

get a PC plate

or FR4

[sacred elm]

I use 80he

[frosty coral]

show space

[inland jetty]

am i creazy or did i hear a rattle?

[icy dew]

I'm surprised how little 80he modding videos are on YouTube, I thought there would be a whole bunch

[tawdry tree]

it’s not the same on the 80

[tawdry tree]

Not that much to mod.

[reef oar]

not many cases yet

[sacred elm]

I meant that I already have pc plate on 80he

but planning to get fr4

[tawdry tree]

from PC to FR4 is not as big of a change as from steel to PC or FR4

[icy dew]

Mainly just like a video showing like the best layout to get a specific sound profile. There's still a decent amount of things you can do. A case is just one thing

[tawdry tree]

I’d recommend it if you still use your 60HE.

[tawdry tree]

Best layout?

Like switches?

[icy dew]

Best mods, key caps, like design around how you build it

[tawdry tree]

Ah

Well a lot translates from the 60HE modding tutorials

[icy dew]

Plate, stabs, lubing, switches, key caps, foam, tape, etc... lots of stuff you can do to get a specific sound/feel. Just wish there was more out there

[sacred elm]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1301116735021121568/1314829019132198932/IMG_0959.mov?ex=6769a0b2&is=67684f32&hm=aa3ac560393f69367595ca7508e9695013fd90a9bd85e9101827388dbc2889e5&

im using the vinyl matt, thats why i was asking earlier xD

[frosty coral]

dyk what itll sound like

has any1 done it before

jade pri

steel case

[tawdry tree]

Never used

[frosty coral]

and whatever u said

[tawdry tree]

It’ll sound similar to the Optimum case

there’s a sound test

[frosty coral]

a similar one works

[inland jetty]

v1's baby xD hahaha

[frosty coral]

dont gotta br exact

[tawdry tree]

https://youtu.be/xFCu2hSg-oQ

[tawdry tree]

I got a 10meter poron sheet from ali like 2-3 years ago

and still didn’t run out lol

[inland jetty]

thats a good investment right there

[untold wigeon]

same

i dont think ive ever used those bottom right corner keys ever

so might as well make them arrow keys

i also switched the FN and the caps lock key

cuz i dont use caps lock i just hold shift

[tawdry tree]

people that press caps lock, start typing and press caps lock again don’t exist

idc if people say they do that

they’re lying

😂😂

[inland jetty]

i swear to god

listen

[untold wigeon]

fr caps lock is not a real key

[inland jetty]

i have a coworker who does that

but she isnt so tech savvy

[tawdry tree]

i’m never gonna understand why

[frosty coral]

lowk bro

[reef oar]

i used to do that

[frosty coral]

i kinda like the hardmounted more

for jade pros

[tawdry tree]

nah

impossible

😂😂😭

[frosty coral]

idk the guy keeps switching on n off

if i had an actual sound test

maybe it wld change

[tawdry tree]

I’ve never seen someone like tray over friction

you’d be the first

[stone flax]

its someone who hasnt actually used the board looks like

[frosty coral]

nvm

[stone flax]

since theyre talking about sound tests

[frosty coral]

yea nah lowk

i like hardmounted more

for the jade pros

[stone flax]

when did u get ur board?

[inland jetty]

Cuz of the wobble?

[frosty coral]

i modded mine like 2 weeks ago

[stone flax]

what are u comparing traymount to

[tawdry tree]

the sound, as crazy as that is

[frosty coral]

bruh idk a word ur saying

[tawdry tree]

friction

[frosty coral]

sory

[stone flax]

"hardmount" is just some weirdass way to say traymount

[tawdry tree]

it’s alr

[frosty coral]

o yea

that

[stone flax]

idk why theyre calling it that

lol

[tawdry tree]

Sander does

in the video

[frosty coral]

bc the vid says ir

yea

[inland jetty]

Fair

[stone flax]

yeah and idk why theyre calling it that

like at all

they used to call it traymount

[tawdry tree]

NO! Not fair at all, tray is terrible.

😂

[frosty coral]

yea i mess w hardmount more

what tape do i do tapemod with

imma do it tm

tn

[tawdry tree]

painters

if you have it

[frosty coral]

should i use the normal wooting stock foam or keep the tofu foam

[tawdry tree]

tofu foam

doesn’t really matter

[frosty coral]

idk the wooting one is more thick

way more thick

might do smth

[tawdry tree]

but woot’s stock foam doesn’t fit in the tofu unless your tear the top half off

[frosty coral]

jade pros steel case

[calm pulsar]

maybe he's just hard rn

[tawdry tree]

it fits, but very compressed*

[stone flax]

he still keeps calling it hardmount

T_T

this does not please me

[calm pulsar]

hardmount is wild

[tawdry tree]

sander started something

😳

[frosty coral]

prolly not worth it

[high sphinx]

Hey guys does someone know how i can eliminate this sound ? When i slightly tap on the spacebar it makes this sound i tried so many things other stabs balancing the wire other keycaps other switches does anyone have suggestions ? I also have tape in my spacebar

[frosty coral]

will tape mod fix spacebar

a bit

[tawdry tree]

no

[frosty coral]

ahh broo buying lube

doing that dumb shit

for a space bar

[stone flax]

wire balancing

[frosty coral]

fml

[stone flax]

grease

[high sphinx]

I tried that but did not help

[stone flax]

grease

[inland jetty]

grease + plumbers mod

[calm pulsar]

what the hell is plumbers mod

[stone flax]

plumbers mod? in the year 2024 of our lord

hell nah

no way jose

[tawdry tree]

press the keycap firmly on the stabs, both sides. If that doesn’t help, then balance the wire, it’ll be very slightly bent/offset

[stone flax]

[calm pulsar]

hardmount, plumbers mod

what else is there

[stone flax]

you never heard of plumbers mod?

waow

[high sphinx]

I have knight v2 stabs i read that krytox 205g0 is best for the wire cause the grease may interact with the sikicone from the knight v2s

[inland jetty]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hWWIskmiwAo

[tawdry tree]

the grease is just too thick

[stone flax]

holy moly those are knights?

rip bro

[tawdry tree]

unnecessarily thick for SW Knights

[calm pulsar]

ohh I've seen that
just didnt know it is "plumbers" mod lol

[high sphinx]

Yeah i pressed it fully down but also when i hokd my ear close to the spacebar it seems it coles from the switch i dont know anymore

[frosty coral]

who got a jade pro and the sw knight shit

[stone flax]

FUCK MECHTECH/BADMARK

this guy BLOWS

[high sphinx]

Yup that are knight v2 i dont know

[stone flax]

worse sounding knights ive ever heard

[calm pulsar]

im using design studio stabs totally unlubed rn

[inland jetty]

well, it works for me lmfao

[stone flax]

😭

[calm pulsar]

skill issue on their part

[high sphinx]

I dont know what to do anymore

[sacred elm]

@tropic urchin

[frosty coral]

lemme hear

[stone flax]

the message is fine (even though people need to stop putting shit inside their stabilizers) but fuck badmark (the guy who posted that video)

[grizzled kernel]

Are 28g springs overkill for gaming?

[stone flax]

?

[high sphinx]

The video is a little bit up

[sacred elm]

dogshit

[stone flax]

lighter springs not gonna make u a better gamer magically bub

😭

[frosty coral]

tofu 60? @tropic urchin

[calm pulsar]

uhh whatever works for you?

[frosty coral]

hmu w cid of spacebar

[tawdry tree]

It’s not the switch, it’s just the wires that aren’t 100% flat/straight.

[frosty coral]

wtf r these nerds talking about

[tawdry tree]

a bit of a bummer if you already lubed them tho

[inland jetty]

lmao, yeah. im just here for the mod because it worked for me and I only had to do it once and my spacebar and other stabs sound fine for the most part

[grizzled kernel]

I wasn't trying to say that,

[high sphinx]

Do u thibk i can use dialectic grease on wire with knight v2´s ? I did read ut is not such a good idea but i dont know

[tropic urchin]

What’s going on

[calm pulsar]

hardmount

[tropic urchin]

The Jade pro bat signal is going out

[violet grove]

tried glorious raptor and there was no issue with magnet strength or anything they just use a weird spring diameter that does not match the lekker type may be the same diameter as cherry

[sacred elm]

lighter = slower rebound = dogshit

[violet grove]

appear to use a similar click bar to kailh box

might be interchangeable

[tawdry tree]

I personally wouldn’t recommend it. It can help but there’s much less room for error than with 205 or moly

[high sphinx]

I have molykote also can i try that one ? On the wire ?

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, you used moly on the wire already right?

[high sphinx]

Nope krytox 205g0

[tawdry tree]

Oh

[high sphinx]

But the molykote is a bit thicker

[tawdry tree]

If you have 205 still, just add a bit

see if that helps

instead of mixing

[violet grove]

just dont overlube the stabilizer it will make a mess and attract dust/hair if it is not so sluggish that it fails to return

[stone flax]

ngl ive used three sets of knight

with grease

and theyre fine

light coats tho

[high sphinx]

There is plenty of 205g0 already on it

[stone flax]

if there was a stab that only needs 205 tho itd be that

[tawdry tree]

It can be fine if you use reasonable amounts

[high sphinx]

The wire was almost totally white well the little part altleast

[tawdry tree]

but again, a lot less room for error

than with 205

from my experience.

[tawdry tree]

😕

you cba to take the wire out?

[calm pulsar]

I also used thicker grease there, xht bdz and it was good\

[glacial wind]

I’m confused, why do you want to put grease on it still? You can do it but it’s totally not needed

[calm pulsar]

I mean in knights

[high sphinx]

I wanna do whatever it takes ro make it sound goid

[high sphinx]

I dont know what to do anymore tbh

[calm pulsar]

personally I like a tighter stab, might try staebies some day, as you suggested once

[tawdry tree]

That’s what I would do

Staebies enjoyer, yes!

[stone flax]

paigus cost like 1 dollar bro

[glacial wind]

I mean more gpster, why does he want to put grease on it?

[stone flax]

😭

[high sphinx]

So take out wire rebalance and add molykote ?

[stone flax]

yea

[tawdry tree]

Or 205, yes

[high sphinx]

Last i tried to balance the wire it was flat on my phone but welk lets try again i guess

[glacial wind]

Why not just use 205g0 and be safe with it since it’s your first time

[calm pulsar]

you could also try flipping it

[stone flax]

Why not just use lube and be safe with it since it’s your first time

[violet grove]

has anyone else had inconsistent switch pulling issues on two HE plate

any time i go to remove switches its horrible on 1-2 areas but then one row flys right off

[calm pulsar]

just use 9 layer tape mod and be safe

[high sphinx]

I will post video when i am balancing the wire or try to

[stone flax]

14

[tawdry tree]

It can happen as well if your keycap isn’t seated all the way but you pushed it down so it really comes down to the wire.

[inland jetty]

make it 20 at that point

jesus

[tawdry tree]

tape mod case

tape case mod

holy

[inland jetty]

who needs a case? just tape it

[glacial wind]

Your space bar will have some movement no matter how much you balance that wire btw

[sick shard]

if you want best sound

fk the metal you need that, instrumental wood

[glacial wind]

that’s just the natural movement of knight v2 in your video

[tawdry tree]

movement is fine, ticking is not

[calm pulsar]

flame maple keyboard

[sick shard]

maple would be nice

[glacial wind]

If your goal with the grease and rebalancing is to stop that small movement completely then you will not get anywhere with that just fyi @high sphinx

[inland jetty]

im rocking them lekker v1's with no movement

[glacial wind]

I just saw that video you posted before

[violet grove]

doesnt your spacebar need to be absolutely flat too then

alot of them come with a slight warp

even expensive sets it can happen

[inland jetty]

im not even joking, shit, LMAO. that switch wobble is fixed by tape LOL

[tawdry tree]

@glacial wind that’s the goal^

[glacial wind]

yeah but he can’t eliminate that sound

That’s not rattly stabs

[sacred elm]

just dont tap like that, fixed

[glacial wind]

That’s literally just the minor movement of his stabs and totally normal

[tawdry tree]

🥴

[high sphinx]

Oh so that is normal ?

[glacial wind]

Yeah there’s a difference between ticking and normal stab movement

There’s no ticking in that video

[high sphinx]

So no way to elimonate that man i thougt i was going crazy

[glacial wind]

your stab will always have a small bit of leeway

it’s not going to hold your space bar 100% movement free

[high sphinx]

Cause when i press my spacebar fully i am really happy with jow it sound but i was just when i was slightly tapping the space that it made that sound but u probably saw the video

[calm pulsar]

also it makes sense to give your freshly tuned stab some time and let the lube set in, it might become better over time

[tawdry tree]

@high sphinx can you press slightly deeper on both sides?

in a vid

if u don’t mind.

[high sphinx]

I will make video where i press the spacebar heavier

[inland jetty]

when i press my spacebar, my lekker v1's never fail me ❤️

[high sphinx]

I posted a video from heavier presses

[glacial wind]

Yeah basically zero issues with your stab

[calm pulsar]

I think it's fine too

[inland jetty]

u have no rattle dude

[high sphinx]

Oh ok ty man sry for all this nonsense than i am still kinda new is this keyboard modding thing since i got my wooting but i appreciate the advice and help u guys provide me u guys are the best

[glacial wind]

It’s all good, gotta learn somewhere

[tawdry tree]

It’s fine, from the first vid it sounded different from side to side

[high sphinx]

So the sound from the fist video is just normal movement frol the spacebar then ?

[tawdry tree]

to me.

[high sphinx]

Yeah it is only while light tapping the key

[inland jetty]

by normal movement u meant, you tapping the key lightly xD

[glacial wind]

Yea that’s just normal space bar movement because your stab doesn’t hold the space bar fully tight (which is normal)

[high sphinx]

Ok i understand now ty so much

[inland jetty]

dont even touch that thing dude, it sounds pretty good

[stone flax]

hawk tuah

spit on that thing

[calm pulsar]

💀

[inland jetty]

def gonna sue that thang

[high sphinx]

Yeah i changed a lot just to try to eliminate that sound i changed switches to geon raw i changes stabs to knight v2 i changes keycaps i put tape in my spacebar but i was not going away no matter what i did haha but i am happy with the sound of my board

[stone flax]

spacebar tape

just buy a better spacebar bro

[high sphinx]

I bought this keycap set the spacebar sounded hollow so i wanted to fix that and the tape dod the job for me

[calm pulsar]

how many layers of spacebar tape I need

[inland jetty]

stock stabs as well?

[stone flax]

ya

[tawdry tree]

we don’t count in layers, we count in rolls. 😼

[stone flax]

good spacebar would help tho

[high sphinx]

I had the stich ones but since it made that noise while slightly tapping the spacebar i assumed that something was wrong with my stabs so i ch1nged them to knight v2 stabs

[high sphinx]

This keycap set was not so cheap

[stone flax]

what set

[sacred elm]

atleast 5

[high sphinx]

It was mk grey on black from monakokeys i spent 70 euros

[calm pulsar]

nice just put a spacebar onto another spacebar then

[sacred elm]

real

thocky spacebar

[high sphinx]

I used one layer of ductape only

[inland jetty]

thock on a wooting?

show me

[stone flax]

buy a gmk spacebar

[tawdry tree]

singular

[stone flax]

ya

[tawdry tree]

just one

[stone flax]

just one

[tawdry tree]

damn

[high sphinx]

Only for the spacebar ?

[stone flax]

yea

[calm pulsar]

lol that was synced

[inland jetty]

lmfao, damn thats sad

[stone flax]

JINX @tawdry tree

fr tho

one gmk spacebar to just slap into a build that needs it

why not?

[high sphinx]

Is my spacebar not good ?

[inland jetty]

eh

[stone flax]

its ok

[tawdry tree]

are singular keycaps even sold?

[stone flax]

nyope

[inland jetty]

id rather go with the clack at that point

[tawdry tree]

would be interesting ngl

[glacial wind]

They’re memeing

[high sphinx]

Oh ok haha

[stone flax]

https://typemachina.com/products/gmk-spacebars?variant=11185411333 unless u count this

[sacred elm]

dont make my guy even more crazy

[stone flax]

wait actually

yeah

buy this

rn

[tawdry tree]

wow

[high sphinx]

U guys know anything about the ghostbar ?

[stone flax]

ya its muted

pretty much all it does

[high sphinx]

U like it or nah ?

[stone flax]

no

[high sphinx]

@glacial wind u came just in time a little bit back to explain i was already pulling up my screwdriver set haha

[glacial wind]

yeah that was an interesting conversation to wake up to

[stone flax]

buy gmk spacebar

[high sphinx]

Atleast i can sleep in peace now here in eu it is 3 am and i was about to open up my keyboard haha

[stone flax]

on diddy

[calm pulsar]

gmk spacebars so good

[high sphinx]

Well i huess i have to buy gmk spacebar then 😜

[polar girder]

Yeah I have one

[high sphinx]

U like it ?

[polar girder]

Yeah it’s neat

I use different profile now tho so I ditched it

[high sphinx]

Oh i see

[sacred elm]

kbdfans are releasing cf and fr4 plates for 80he

[calm pulsar]

oh cool, would be great with the new case

still no alu tho...

[sacred elm]

asked about alu too, waiting for their reply

[tropic urchin]

I just removed my space bar foam, no foam gang is starting

[sick shard]

What if you get brushed titanium

[stone flax]

why would you ever do something as cursed as that in the first place...

[tropic urchin]

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

[sick shard]

maplecase with stainless steel shine through diamond embedded legends

[tropic urchin]

but the real answer is my other keeb had it and it sounded fine, but I think this foam is chalked

[sick shard]

or for the richest folk pudding caps with diamond and gold

and golden case

[keen mica]

Do jade pro work with 60he

Well

[stone flax]

@calm pulsar why does this cheap amazon keycap set actually not sound bad on the frog T_T

[sacred elm]

yes

[calm pulsar]

cause your build is good alrdy

[keen mica]

Is that to me?

[sacred elm]

yes

[keen mica]

Kk

[stone flax]

@calm pulsar :0 alphas sound thin and rattly but not bad

spacebar surprises me @_@

[calm pulsar]

that spacebar is naisu

[sacred elm]

mj you need to lock in

what is that sound buddy

[stone flax]

never

[calm pulsar]

alphas are kinda bright yeah
needs tape in each keycap for sure

[stone flax]

[sacred elm]

what is that build

[stone flax]

i only busted the set out because i remembered "oh wait i have a wob set" and i wanted to see what wob looks like on the frog

[stone flax]

forg

[sacred elm]

I see

sounds like a frog indeed

[stone flax]

@calm pulsar im receiving 60a tadpoles soon for the frog

:D

hopefully this week TwT

[calm pulsar]

wob is the shit

[calm pulsar]

from bigsly?

[stone flax]

ur wob better ToT

[stone flax]

ya

[calm pulsar]

nice, I got the 50a ones too from geon but it's probably not much difference

[calm pulsar]

btw is that what you use for desk pad? 😮

looks comfy

[stone flax]

.......

.........

......

....................

;d

face towel

😭

i need keebmat

T _T

[calm pulsar]

😂

if it works it works

I use a razer strider and it's been fine for me, no need for separate keeb and mouse pads

[stone flax]

and they scrapped it again prolly

[violet grove]

which switches have the least stem wobble overall

to the point that they are almost rubbing if you press off center

hate stem wobble more than anything

[fallen pecan]

ttc kom

[glacial wind]

Ttc kom rgb/pom versions

[violet grove]

do they use the same springs as the lekkers or are they completely different

id like to get them with 100g and I have a 100g spring pack for lekkers

[sick shard]

Are the wooting Tenkeyless wrist rest and the wootting 80he wrist rest same size?

[uneven cradle]

No they are different sizes

[sick shard]

how so

[calm pulsar]

I reckon width

[sick shard]

anyone got a side by side ?

[calm pulsar]

🤓

there's probably dimensions on wooting's website

[stone flax]

venom stays winning

also

[uneven cradle]

TKL is a bit wider then the 80HE wristrest

[stone flax]

is lucifer he the new one? based on the deng god molds

:0

[sick shard]

then that is not a big problem

a bit is not alot right?

[calm pulsar]

let's go
can't wait to do a new build in lx60
well if I am able to, since gummy oring doesnt work, I will try to maybe use gasket mount with the included plate

[sick shard]

i think the biggest difference is shape

[chilly mural]

Oooo

Focus mode...

[calm pulsar]

locked in mode

[chilly mural]

Me wanna

[stone flax]

also the lucifer switch

[uneven cradle]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message Jeds comparison

[stone flax]

now has support

in software

very nice

TwT

[chilly mural]

What is the lucifer switch?

[stone flax]

geons new switch

[calm pulsar]

waitt so it is a new switch from geon??

holyyy

[stone flax]

cheaper than raws

[chilly mural]

Oooooooo

[sick shard]

what

[chilly mural]

Okay I'll buy it for my venom

[calm pulsar]

damnnn Im ordering this along with venom mx and other stuff I wanted

[sick shard]

i just ordered raws now lucifers getting released

[stone flax]

he took deng gods and updated the molds to make them better, pricing around 20 cents a switch

i dont think theyll be better than raws

but just another option

:p

[calm pulsar]

full black tho

[uneven cradle]

HE switches come out like hotcakes 🥞

[chilly mural]

Doesn't really matter when venom dont have rgb. For wooting, mmm, depends

[calm pulsar]

yeah but I like having a full black switch on black plate, so that only keycaps can be seen basically

so it's a plus for me

[stone flax]

@glacial wind have u gotten word or anything about lucifer switches?

apparently selling domestically first

[sacred elm]

is it box stem

[sick shard]

where can you find lucifer he?

are they better then black knights?

[sacred elm]

anything is better than black knights

[uneven cradle]

I'm going to korea in May maybe I should order some goodies to my friends place and take them back for free shipping

[stone flax]

should be

[sacred elm]

[chilly mural]

Wanna know the material

[sick shard]

its sillicone

[stone flax]

deng gods are okay for their cost

i assume better ones that works out the kinks would play nicely

also

sub 15 dollars to fill a 60%

geon wins again

[sick shard]

did i buy raws at a overprice?

[stone flax]

why

[sick shard]

i payed 51 euros for 90 switches

not directly from geon

[sacred elm]

fine

[calm pulsar]

nah raws are great, don't sweat it

we just have a geon church here

[glacial wind]

they're not super interesting. Geon said they're basically a budget switch not as good as raw he but meant to fill a gap for people who want a super cheap basic switch

[stone flax]

ya thats a given

i meant like compared to deng gods

are they tastier

?

[calm pulsar]

come on geon you can do it
pave the way, put your back into it

[stone flax]

and how much more so

[sick shard]

does anyone know a pudding cap with dark base white/gray top ?

kinda like black translucentish base

cherry profile

[glacial wind]

he just has the lucifer listed as in production/new arrival right now but no sales date yet

[stone flax]

[chilly mural]

👀

[glacial wind]

i'll probably order a set when it's out since it'll be dirt cheap with geons typical first sale discount

just to have on hand for the mod site

[calm pulsar]

yeah and who knows what the frankenswitching possibilities might be with these new geon adjusted molds

[stone flax]

:0

@glacial wind what were raws a retool of

i forgor

[glacial wind]

it'll probably be like $10-15 for a full set with the 30% discount he always throws in for first release

[stone flax]

ya

[glacial wind]

raws were his own from scratch basically

[stone flax]

balla

[sick shard]

anyone know discount codes for wrist rests?

[glacial wind]

i see they're finally repushing out the venom zero deadzone stuff to their beta software

[sick shard]

i am also looking to upgrade my mice

currently using a rival 600

i use a claw grip

and i got big hands

[stone flax]

[calm pulsar]

when hopping from venom back to wooting I noticed the rapid trigger is not as fast when spamming movement in wow

not that it matters in this game, but still a noticeable change

[glacial wind]

yeah unless you're on the higher stability switches you'll be getting +0.15-0.18 more deadzone on the same setting or +0.2-0.25 more if you were using 0.1rt on venom vs 0.15 on wooting

basically doubling your base rt sens if not on ttc kom or similar

[calm pulsar]

ah so basically I'd need ttc kom on wooting to achieve similar results as on venom with other switches?

[glacial wind]

yep. Since wooting just auto adjusts the deadzone based on the switch, you basically have to use the most stable switch to get the deadzone down that low

[calm pulsar]

thanks for explanation
I can kinda see the value of ttc switches now, but not sure of their feeling and sound, and also I am gaming just fine on with my frankenswitch that has geon raw stem in it

[glacial wind]

yeah realistically it doesn't matter much unless you absolutely need that less deadzone and ttc switches need to be hand lubed to reach max smoothness since they don't come factory lubed

[calm pulsar]

oh wow, didnt know that

for dollar per switch you'd think they would factory lube them 😄

[glacial wind]

yeah i'm not really sure why there's zero lube on the stem

it's an odd choice

[gleaming crane]

Why do the jade pros feel and sound literally so much better than regular jades? What makes them different cuz it’s almost night and day

[stone flax]

tolerances and spring

[glacial wind]

one is tighter (the pros). You don't feel the wobble as much because there's less wobble to feel

[dusk sedge]

Anyone know of a way to ground the 60he+ module in the tofu 60 acrylic case with the friction fit pad?

[devout totem]

By plugging in usb cable, the outer shell of the usb connector should connect to ground

[polar girder]

faster on venom?

[calm pulsar]

yea

[polar girder]

ok sold

yeah i need KoM's

then i need 60he+ pro max v2.0

🤓

are their springs light?

[fallen pecan]

it feels heavier than it is due to having the tallest springs out of all the switches

[buoyant jolt]

any ides of key caps that help show the layers for the 60% key board?? EX. f1 f2

[glacial wind]

They’re all roughly in that 50-55 bottom out range, similar to jades but with a longer spring

[polar girder]

Yeah fk

so heavy

[glacial wind]

Well not really that’s light lol

[polar girder]

yeah longer = more resistance i guess huh

nah 35g is light

lol

[glacial wind]

Eh I guess in gamer terms for low spring users

[polar girder]

yeah i'm ultralight err'thang

[buoyant jolt]

any ides of key caps that help show the layers for the 60% key board?? EX. f1 f2

[glacial wind]

You could spring swap if you really hated that

[polar girder]

well but that's part of the whole attraction is having a nice long spring lol

yeah idk i'm just conflicted

[buoyant jolt]

any ides of key caps that help show the layers for the 60% key board?? EX. f1 f2

[turbid axle]

Guys, I am thinking of getting the Ttc magneto pom's or the geon raw he switch

Which one is better in terms of feel (smoothness and stability)

Personally I don't particularly care about sound because I use headphones

[fallen pecan]

poms are superior, but almost double the price

[turbid axle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKID0ORh1xk

the guy in this video says the geon raw's have the least wobble

in the description

[fallen pecan]

tests have been done and ttcs are on top for stability

[turbid axle]

thanks,

can i get the link to the video please

looks like gaterons jade pros are also pretty good

[grim trench]

Huh someone else said the magneto’s beat them

oop didn’t see the image below

[fallen pecan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psTeefhmzTs

[calm pulsar]

imagine still not having made jade knights shaking my smh

[dusk sedge]

The only place to get the rubber stand off covers was with the optimum edition right?

The ones in the friction fit vid

[ionic breach]

https://wooting.io/wooting-60he-module-quickstart

[pliant mauve]

Bro I just got my key caps

And they don’t even work😭🙏

Wooting bro😭🙏

[wicked fable]

Anyone got both the Optimum and 80he raw?

[fluid ravine]

Stabilizer issue

[wicked fable]

How different are the two colours?

[pliant mauve]

Yeah I think I just noticed that rn

It’s the right one

[glacial wind]

yeah both. They are nothing alike

raw is a bright silvery color, optimum is more of a darker grey coated metal color

[wicked fable]

Okay thanks. I love my Optimum and am thinking about buying 80he raw too

Do you have a photo?

[glacial wind]

keep in mind raw is nothing like the optimum finish

raw is not smooth even coat or anything like that. Lots of marks on it, bright silver

#1295338221399576646 message

you can see the machine/flow marks on the case

[tawdry tree]

closed bottom

[glacial wind]

wooting did say they're working on another limited edition raw too, which might be more up your alley if you want a 'cleaner' raw case

[wicked fable]

Oh wow, yeah thanks I can see that

I was thinking of copying this actually: https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/comments/1hk0xz5/metal_erywhere_wooting_80he_gateron_jades_w_aluve/

[glacial wind]

personally i'm going to cerakote my raw case down the line probably

sand it then give it a tungsten cerakote i think will look really nice

[wicked fable]

Yeah I knew it was less clean, but it looks a bit too raw for my liking

Where did they mention the new raw?

[wicked fable]

That does look really nice

[glacial wind]

just on livestream in random qna time

[wicked fable]

Reminds me of the optimum finish lol

[glacial wind]

so if you want the cleaner raw i'd wait for calder's limited edition raw down the line

[fallen pecan]

rabbit0 selling the mm m6lite soon, 12k scan, 20~30k on WASD

[chilly mural]

ooo

[fallen pecan]

not cheap, 210 usd for the set

[tawdry tree]

cheap

not overpriced

little less than the module

[chilly mural]

mmm, venom with rgb

[tawdry tree]

the m6 scored the highest on nearly all tests

both latency and deadzone

pretty promising

64%, south facing LEDs

[slate solar]

Hey I am looking on buying the module 80HE since it ships faster. Since I will be going this route I have been looking for the quietest switches. Any one has any info on the GAMAKAY Phoenix switch?

[tawdry tree]

They’re the quietest but not very clean.

[slate solar]

Does it affect performance?

and what do you mean by "not very clean" as in the sound right?

[tawdry tree]

Not latency if that’s what you mean. You can still use 0.15 RT but they aren’t yet optimally compatible (you can only set your actuation point to 3.7mm or so, instead of 4mm).

[tawdry tree]

Yes, the sound isn’t great. It’s quiet but a bit scratchy.

[slate solar]

Wish they had a sound test on these 🥲... What would you recommend as far as both performance and the quietest switch? I've also read about the Black knight switches but haven’t researched enough

[tawdry tree]

Black Knights aren’t available anymore on Ali, so they’ll probably be more expensive to get than Lekker V2s and sound similar.

For quiet, all we have are the Phoenixes.

You can mod TTC KoMs to make them more quiet, if you and your wallet are up for it. 😄

[slate solar]

Would getting phoenixes switches and lekker l45's for AWSD be a good idea? Modding a switch sounds a bit scary for my first ever build

[gaunt plume]

Apparently, Only PCBA sales will start in January 2025.

[grim trench]

btw idk much about switches but do I still get RGB on these on my 80he even if it doesn't look as good

[glacial wind]

you do

[grim trench]

ayo you're the ttc dude xD. Do you have a screenshot of what you 80he looks like with them on

also would it matter if I got them on my zinc 80he and will they be fine with the stock nordic keycaps

[tawdry tree]

You could get Lekker V2s with the Module for cheap. Try them out, see how you like them and if they’re too loud you can try Phoenixes.

[tawdry tree]

That’s fine.

[grim trench]

not the same casing as me but they still look plenty bright I think

might end up grabbing them in that case xd

[tawdry tree]

They have a light window/diffuser.

[grim trench]

is the part the light goes through called a window/diffuser

[tawdry tree]

Yeah!

[grim trench]

in that case I'll also get good light on my keycaps, so that's cool

[slate solar]

this is the case? Clear black looks so good 😮‍💨

[glacial wind]

yeah that's my ghost case

[slate solar]

Firee thx

[glacial wind]

i have the raw zinc too, but i think ghost looks better with retro keycaps

[grim trench]

ye on the image it kinda looked like a covered purple plastic but I guess it's just the shadow

[tawdry tree]

Yeah haha, it’s transparent.

[grim trench]

also it says the total travel is 3.4mm, will that affect me if I'm on 0.1mm actuation

[tawdry tree]

Nope

[grim trench]

or is it more so that I can't put it farther than 3.4mm to say 3.8

[tawdry tree]

You can

[grim trench]

since it doesn't travel that far

oh

[tawdry tree]

The slider in Wootility shows as millimeters but it’s %

[glacial wind]

think of 0-4mm in wootlility as a percentage 0-100% instead

[tawdry tree]

So you if you set it to 4mm, it’ll be at bottom out.

[glacial wind]

we're waiting for switch selector so it updates the numbers on the side, but for now you can just pretend it's 0-100% on the side and ignore that it says 4mm

[grim trench]

okie

[glacial wind]

next major wooting update will be nice actually. Switch selector and 0.1 rt at last

[grim trench]

how would you say it feels to press compared to the l45 v2

[grim trench]

o what's the implication of this

[glacial wind]

you notice the hair trigger more since you're getting rid of a lot of deadzone

[glacial wind]

just means rt will be able to be set more sensitive and any autocalibration will be quicker if you use a switch that's in the switch selector

[grim trench]

so will it have like a list of known switches to support it and you can automatically select which one you have

[glacial wind]

yeah exactly

[grim trench]

that's cool

[glacial wind]

it'd have the most used switches, then you select your switch from the list

then it can update the side numbers in wootility to say 3.4mm instead of 4mm for ttc rgb/pom

[grim trench]

oo

[grim trench]

btw if I get them do I get to get some sort of lube for them as well. I'll be ordering the blank toolkit if relevant but I've never done any modding before

[slate solar]

Lekkers v2 vs HE raw vs Jade gaming Which one is the quietest out of all three?

[glacial wind]

it's up to you, but personally i think they perform best with a lube job

ttc does not factory lube them
