lekker v2 easily

[grim trench]

alright, if I've never lubed a switch before can I just follow any guide on how to do it and do you have a brand of lube you recommend

[glacial wind]

krytox 205g0 is standard lube for all switches, you can just follow the wooting lube guide or badseedtech lube guide - it's all super basic

all you really need to lube is the box stem outside, then you're basically good, i wouldn't worry about the inside

if you really want to then you can also bag lube the springs with gpl 105 oil

just be warned it's a long day of lubing to lube 90 switches so you better have your favourite tv series or movie trilogy ready lol

[grim trench]

btw I'm paying for 90 switches here and not 9 right

[grim trench]

I guess I haven't watched LOTR in a long time...

[glacial wind]

i'd really suggest not buying off milktooth too

[grim trench]

o

what suggestions do you have for people in Europe/Sweden more specifically

[glacial wind]

aliexpress is better for taxes because they pay all the taxes upfront

[grim trench]

ooh so the 110 is pre taxes

[glacial wind]

if you're ordering from states yeah, they're going to give you a big tax bill to get them

at least with aliexpress you pay it all upfront because they're IOSS https://service.aliexpress.com/page/knowledge?pageId=37&category=1000021915&knowledge=1060863305&language=it

[grim trench]

I see, so if I got them here this is just the final price with no tulls or whateer

It's about 150usd

bruh

[glacial wind]

yeah exactly, they have to include tax and such so you don't get hit by a giant import tax and processing bill like some folks who ordered geon switches from korea

personally i bought mine from this vendor: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008036736686.html - since he's a choice store and had more sales/reviews

[grim trench]

[glacial wind]

oh guess that vendor doesn't sell to eu lol

[grim trench]

I found this vendor

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008172705699.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.340551c9SohuRJ&algo_pvid=cfcb4db1-615a-4a66-af21-df830b0777f3&algo_exp_id=cfcb4db1-615a-4a66-af21-df830b0777f3-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis!SEK!222.43!154.78!!!143.64!99.95!%402103867617349474825351080efaf0!12000044098305319!sea!SE!6220329072!ABX&curPageLogUid=bq0mENfxFA3F&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch|query_from%3A

this was the cheapest idk how aliexpress works though

[slate solar]

Any recommendations on key caps ?

[kind geyser]

Hello guys, will new cases for 80HE release soon? i mean from other vendors

[kind geyser]

get some PBT and look for profiles

u have to read about profiles before buying one

[glacial wind]

it's just tons of random vendors. I just try to stick to vendors with decent reviews/feedback rating and you're good

[glacial wind]

kdbfans already released one, and there's a bunch of others coming

[kind geyser]

ok ill wait then so, thanks

[grim trench]

that brand seems to be stuff with the most rep, the only sus thing is that it opened in july this year

at the same time I'm not sure how to feel about them not spelling switch correctly xD

[glacial wind]

oh misspelling is common for all the vendors cause it's all awful chinese translations lol

other option is you could wait for wooting to stock the ttc switches, but we have no timeline yet on how long until they finally get them in store

[grim trench]

just speaking from experience do you think we'll get them within like half a year or something. I'm not exactly in a rush to get the switches or anything

I found them for about 10 bucks more (126USD for 90pc) in this store which seems to be much more trustworthy

[glacial wind]

yeah could be a few months+ for the ttc switches in wooting store. Wooting isn't the quickest with adding stuff to the store since they had changes they wanted ttc to make plus it's gotta be boxed and put into 70/90 packs for wooting like they did with the jades

[glacial wind]

i do like the color you did for your case, what color shade is that?

[quasi hinge]

Cerakote Tungsten

Craft is cerakote titanium

[glacial wind]

ah nice, i was considering tungsten too for mine

[quasi hinge]

@kind helm

[kind helm]

so sexy

[quasi hinge]

Its nice, I havent seen a 80he Raw in person yet so cant compare

[inland jetty]

wht case is this?

[turbid axle]

I ordered 90 from ttcswitchesstore

$183 AUD

[glacial wind]

yeah that's the one he doesn't get for EU

seems that vendor doesn't sell to Eu for whatever reason

[turbid axle]

Ah that's unfortunate

[quasi hinge]

Its the Lazar 80he haha

https://projectgravitaur.com/

[quasi hinge]

The progress

[quasi hinge]

You could also call it the ‘Drone’ 80he

[bright palm]

https://kbdfans.com/collections/gt-80

[inland jetty]

its going to be interesting to see what the best cases will be 6 months to a year from now. How much is that case?

[quasi hinge]

Still a work in progress

Some extras

Its just a wooting 80he case that is modded

Ill put everything when done in the wootstations

Plus the lore

Even the orange cable is part of the lore

[inland jetty]

oh ur the one making it xD

lazar80he is a hilarious name

[tame fox]

what does that chart show exactly?

BTW has anyone else got keycap issues with the magnetic jade max‘es? almost as if the stem is too thick and they get stuck pretty hard

[quasi hinge]

Yesssss

[inland jetty]

u better keep us updated, i watch that shit LMAO

[quasi hinge]

Most definitely

[inland jetty]

if lazar80he ever gets you copyrighted, do S4-80he LMAO

[quasi hinge]

S4-80he Groom Lake edition

[inland jetty]

I can go on and on with these lmao

[quasi hinge]

Me too hahahaha

[inland jetty]

GT-80HE would be fitting too

[sacred elm]

yes, many

[inland jetty]

gt, measning gobekli teppei lmfao

its too easy lmao

[tame fox]

just got them couple days ago, holy shit how could that leave QC? and for 1$ per switch too… am writing an email to gateron

[inland jetty]

its a known issue for the maxes. its trash for the price

[quasi hinge]

I had 160 of them, all the jade Maxs were bunk

[inland jetty]

i do agree, unfortunately, people still buy them so, they dont care either

[quasi hinge]

I was able to get a refund from gateron

[inland jetty]

if you ever sell those cases, ill be ur number 1 customer lmfao

[sacred elm]

yea and also they arent smooth at all, dogwater switches

[quasi hinge]

Im just making one

[tame fox]

did you get to keep them at least? its fucked i cant even take the keycaps off at this point without breaking either them or the switches lmao

[quasi hinge]

Someone asked me if I take orders lol

[inland jetty]

yeah i know, i had to shoot my shot tho. It's too good

[quasi hinge]

No I had to send them back first but they sent ‘new’ ones back… still in the box untouched

[tame fox]

huh so they gave you both a refund and a replacement?

[quasi hinge]

I mean, more can be made, its just how much you are willing to ‘invest’ in this

[quasi hinge]

Yes

I gave a negative review on their site

[tame fox]

before or after 😂

[quasi hinge]

Before lol

[tame fox]

hoping for a refund too. If they want them back ill send the whole keyboard since theyre glued on it forever now

at least they sound much nicer than lekker switches

[inland jetty]

whats the realistic expectation

[quasi hinge]

Case cost
200$ for the milling
200$ for the cerakote
Excluding shipping fees and the extras

[inland jetty]

hmmm, this is really tempting. God damn it lazar

[quasi hinge]

60$ for the cnc engraving file but I can send that for free

Guy from fiverr

[quasi hinge]

It will match my signed posters

I also have a painting of the sport model

[inland jetty]

what is the case made of?

[quasi hinge]

Zinc

[quasi hinge]

https://www.instagram.com/olof_rockner/

[inland jetty]

im honestly gonna keep in contact, im not sure when exactly but probably late jan, early feb, ill pull the trigger for this. I need this while watching the joe rogan episode LMFAOOOOO

fuck the new cases, this is the shit LMFAOO

[quasi hinge]

Waiting on my baby

[inland jetty]

I was gonna wait 1 year to see the best case and swap but goddamn, memes win it all lmao

[quasi hinge]

For sure man, Ive listened and watched that episode easily 100 times

[inland jetty]

LMAO, i did not expect to find this on wooting out of all places

this is some quality shit lmfao

[quasi hinge]

I am honored

[inland jetty]

this has to go straight on the wall behind ur pc

LMAO

[quasi hinge]

Already planning

[inland jetty]

bro this is too good, u cant make this up LMAO

[quasi hinge]

My AIO will have the sport model on its screen

[inland jetty]

oh my god LMAO

[quasi hinge]

Wahahahaha

[inland jetty]

jesus, its gonna look like a whole documentary once the set up is all done

lmfao

this is going to ruin me, its gonna start with the lazar case, then im gonna go crazy looking for a ufo weights for the copper cable. Then im gonna try finding a ufo theme'd hard control pad, lmfaooo

[quasi hinge]

Oh yes, there is a lot to document with this build lol

[inland jetty]

i can already see it

[quasi hinge]

Do it wahahaha

[inland jetty]

you can do it with the pad if you like cerapads

hardpad*

[quasi hinge]

When the keyboard is finally done and setup, with the AIO sport model screen, with the 3 signed lazar posters, with the lazar signed book and painting

[inland jetty]

they let you print noncopyright photos on the pad

[quasi hinge]

Resistance will be futile

[quasi hinge]

You mean mouse pad?

[inland jetty]

yeah man, the aliens will come down and shake our hand

[inland jetty]

yessir

not sure if skypad or any of those offer printing your own pics. TJE does for their cerapad kin and kin x.

[quasi hinge]

I use an artisan hayate otsu

[inland jetty]

jokes aside, i really like their cataclysm takes with randal

[quasi hinge]

I like the feel for fps

[quasi hinge]

Need to share this

[quasi hinge]

Who is this

[inland jetty]

i used too as well but im using the kin and another control pad from project arctica. Love hardpads now

[inland jetty]

its the younger dryas guy

[quasi hinge]

Ohhh interesting

Im not familiar

Ill need to search this up

[inland jetty]

when you see the memes of graham, youll sometimes see another old dude with him with white long hair

[quasi hinge]

Ahhh yeah. Im all about Bob and the craft

The technology is what interests me

[inland jetty]

thats the funny part

oh wait, LMFAO

[quasi hinge]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive

[inland jetty]

HAHAHA i confused lazar and another dude, LMAO

isnt lazar fascinating tho

hes either a liar with an insane conviction or hes telling the truth. 🙂

[quasi hinge]

They totally destroyed the mans life to send a message

[inland jetty]

thats the thiong right if he was telling the truth, since thats not a new thing for the govt

happens many times

[quasi hinge]

Did you see the hearings?

[inland jetty]

so the question really is, do you believe him or not

thtas for every people btw

ive followed the story from when I first saw it and it's a classic from the gov't if true

[quasi hinge]

With david Grusch, Cmdr. Fravor, Lt. Graves then the other with Admiral Tim gaulledet, Lue Elizondo etc

[inland jetty]

yep, saw all of them

but i hate the timing

the US govt never releases info without a purpose

[quasi hinge]

Drones look pretty familiar…

[quasi hinge]

They are doing slow disclosure

At the end of ww2, china was in famine, russia was in shambles

[inland jetty]

i think its more of a distraction no matter what the truth is regarding UFO's.

while they continue doing their dirty work

[quasi hinge]

China is now considered peer competition with the Americans and can devote a lot of resources to their reverse engineering program

[inland jetty]

regardless, tho, we dont look as crazy believing, doint we 😉

[quasi hinge]

Not anymore

[inland jetty]

i got exiled by certain friend groups because i was simply making conversations about these during covid

[quasi hinge]

And they want to open the field to the public but still classify most of it

[inland jetty]

thats how powerful, these people can be. They can grab people like that

[inland jetty]

isnt it wonderful

[quasi hinge]

Ontological shock is tough, have you read Dr John Macks book?

[quasi hinge]

Well for the Americans its existential because whoever can reverse engineer the tech first will dominate the battlefield… the problem is that the tech is so advanced that its like dropping an iPhone back into the wagon days

[inland jetty]

"whatever, they found" it must be worth more than gold 😉

[quasi hinge]

So many ways to interpret this 😅

[dry rune]

is there a way to make the original 60he plate mounted stabs less jiggly

[inland jetty]

i used tape xD

wait, less jiggly, how?

[dry rune]

nvm

[fallen pecan]

drunkdeer a75 master quick unbox: https://streamable.com/s1deya

[glacial wind]

surely drunkdeer got to be hurting in china now since all the other brands took over a lot of their market

[sacred elm]

what even is a75 master, theyre just spamming keyboards at this point

[glacial wind]

melgeek came and offered better performance and atk came and beat them in price

[fallen pecan]

the selling point is RT Match which allows any switch to be stable at 0.01mm rt

[sacred elm]

surely

i would expect that from anyone but drunkdeer

[glacial wind]

surely that's going to be a buggy/latency increasing mess with the less stable switches

[fallen pecan]

they say it can be done, we'll just have to wait and see. metal and tempered glass, full pom koms, 260USD

[glacial wind]

can't see that being all that successful at that price

[sacred elm]

yea nobodys buying drunkdeer for 260$

[chilly mural]

That's as much as I pay for my plastic 80he with shipping + case...

still don't understand why it's $260

[fallen pecan]

gotta make back that rnd cost somehow

[glacial wind]

because they can't compete on the budget end, so they're trying to hit the only market left for them which is luxury pricing

[fallen pecan]

after a year of mediocre sales

[glacial wind]

melgeek/atk etc crushed them on the budget market, so now they're stuck in nomans land with a brand known for very mediocre performance but trying to sell a top tier priced board

[sacred elm]

0.01mm rt 🤓 ☝️

[fallen pecan]

might as well pick up a scalped 80he in china, they go for the same price

[glacial wind]

yeah it's like if the $1 store suddenly started selling luxury $5000 handbags, no one's going to trust that brand to suddenly make a top tier priced product

everyone just going to go buy one of the more reputable brands for that price

[sacred elm]

a75 mega when

[fallen pecan]

the marketing also mentioned 0.005mm rt steps

[sacred elm]

[fallen pecan]

latency matches wooting at 0.2ms

[glacial wind]

i assume it should, since it's using the newer gen oem pcb that is all in that 0.2-0.3 range

so same pcb tech as melgeek etc, just with more scuffed programmers

[sacred elm]

latency doesnt matter anymore

[fallen pecan]

yep no high hopes for the deer since their customers are still complaning about firmware on their older gear

[chilly mural]

Good to see this, more good option upcoming I guess

just hope it's as consistent as wooting

[fallen pecan]

just a shame that venom isnt mass market

[glacial wind]

pretty much no chance unless they somehow fired their whole team and hired real programmers

they have some of the worst programmers in all of HE

[chilly mural]

😭

[spring storm]

Fuck me, 20mins and I am Not able to get the last screw in 😡

[cyan lark]

What is the trouble with getting the screw in?

[spring storm]

Its not getting inside the screw mount

I am about to throw it outside the window 😭

[fallen pecan]

prolly stripped it

[cyan lark]

Yeah sounds like it might be stripped 😕

You can verify by pulling the PCB out and seeing if the screw can get purchase directly into the mount

[spring storm]

Got it in…

That was some work man 😂

Now I need to wait for my new switches 😦

[surreal edge]

dude anybody is online here i need some suggestion

[stone flax]

Hi

[surreal edge]

im little bit confuse which keycap sould i use with 80he black zinc allow

https://curiositycaps.in/products/premium-topographic-pattern-imd-tech-shinethrough-keycap?_pos=1&_sid=fc8506d7f&_ss=r

https://curiositycaps.in/products/premium-black-topographic-new-version-pattern-shine-through-oem-profile-imd-tech-keycap-set?_pos=2&_sid=fc8506d7f&_ss=r

both are same but color diff idk which one will suit better........i want to buy white zinc alloy but i cant wait to try wooting so i ordered black

[cyan lark]

So you bought a black case and are wondering if white or black keycaps would look best on it?

[glacial wind]

kdbfans has sale starting tomorrow fyi

https://kbdfans.myshopify.com/pages/marrychristmashappynewyear

20% off certain keycaps

10% off switches

[surreal edge]

yep

[cyan lark]

White keycaps on black case, IMO.

[glacial wind]

hrm if they put those pbtfans blanks on sale i might grab them just to see how that weird glass thing they're doing feels/sounds

[surreal edge]

damnn looking sick.....this black and white combo just fire

[spring storm]

What a mess…

[chilly mural]

yey

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/barney-dinosaur-music-sound-of-gif-11993602692566943637

I cannot excise that jingle from the dark corners of my mind

[spring storm]

I was so confused which Icon is the Right key. Did I get it Right?

I think I did something wrong 😂

[sacred elm]

definitely

[spring storm]

Nah thats right, German ISO 😄

[sacred elm]

oops

[fallen pecan]

the cmd key should be closest to the space

[sacred elm]

menu key is correct

[austere creek]

so your bottom row is winkey(command), shift, alt(option), space, alt(option), context menu, control (ctrl/strg), win key(command)

[cyan lark]

At first glance this looked like some horrific scoliosis spine picture

[austere creek]

only on a macos keyboard

on windows its ctrl, win, alt and then the other side is in reverse

[fallen pecan]

ye he's using cmd so im assuming he's on a mac layout

[austere creek]

im assuming they have no idea what those symbols are

[fallen pecan]

🤷‍♂️

[spring storm]

I have windows but I got the mac icons and I am just confused which is which 😂

[austere creek]

this is mac bottom row

[spring storm]

I thought the mac icons look better, but I am really confused now 😂

[austere creek]

if you switch the option and command keys its windows bottom row

Control (⌃), Option (⌥) and Command (⌘)

[cyan lark]

Has anybody ever in existence used the Menu button?

[sacred elm]

no

[austere creek]

yes

[fallen pecan]

i know i dont

[austere creek]

when needing 1 hand navigation

[sacred elm]

Right shift either

[austere creek]

althought i have abused it as FN for ages

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-suspicious-suspicion-squint-ornias-gif-5587559331859182157

1 hand navigation

[spring storm]

Like this?

[cyan lark]

It's a shame, I'd rather have a pretty symmetric look than extra buttons I'm never gonna hit 😕

[austere creek]

no

copy my bottom row but switch Option (⌥) and Command (⌘)

[cyan lark]

Keep in mind your Command is not a command symbol

Command flanks the spacebar

[austere creek]

Bottom row per OS default (with MacOS/OSX print keycaps)

Windows/*nix:
Control (⌃), Command (⌘), Option (⌥), spacebar, Option (⌥), Command (⌘), Menu (≡), Control (⌃)

MacOS:
Control (⌃), Option (⌥), Command (⌘), spacebar, Command (⌘), Option (⌥), Menu (≡), Control (⌃)

[sick shard]

found some new keycaps on ali

https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005001581858540.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.662d2ac3D0ivrL&algo_pvid=7a7f68f5-1f71-4b44-a7f0-91888b3b2ca6&algo_exp_id=7a7f68f5-1f71-4b44-a7f0-91888b3b2ca6-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis!EUR!36.39!36.39!!!37.09!37.09!%402103891017349615749992783ecd61!12000020615344294!sea!NL!2789154681!X&curPageLogUid=36PU53OrITXX&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch|query_from%3A

they are GMK clones i think look pretty decent

[austere creek]

there listed both so you can see the difference

i hope those macos symbols even show up on windows/linux

[fallen pecan]

they do

[stone flax]

not for the price

[austere creek]

so get them. ive been using gmk clones without knowing they are gmk clones and they hold up years later of work/gaming use all day long

[stone flax]

look into aifei, rdw, shenpo

[sick shard]

i already bought 2 sets of keycaps

[stone flax]

20 buck

[sick shard]

1 prism caps for 35 bucks

[stone flax]

better qual clones out there

[austere creek]

link

[fallen pecan]

35 is too much for prism

[austere creek]

the set i got is missing some special caps

[sick shard]

1 aliexpress set of black transparent with massive discount for 14 bucks

[fallen pecan]

pudding caps go for much much lower on ali

[sick shard]

these are steelseries official

i needed fast caps xD

actually think about refunding them

[stone flax]

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?abbucket=11&id=765438130591

the dye subbing is done by rdw

[austere creek]

you are the man

i thought id never find the missing caps

[fallen pecan]

i was wondering what rdw meant

[sick shard]

i am gonna return the prism caps

[fallen pecan]

i only know their chinese name

[sick shard]

gonna wait 1 week for the cheep china caps

[stone flax]

its the translated name, i think the pronounciaton of it

[austere creek]

now to figure out how to order from taobao without chinese email/phone

[sick shard]

and use the money of steel series caps for wrist rest xD

[sacred elm]

mj do you know something similar to pbtfans crosshair that is not 90$?

[fallen pecan]

superbuy

[stone flax]

"Virtual Midday Gaming Esports Arena" or like Digital Noon esports arena, but when u say it in chinese the first sounds are "RDW"

[fallen pecan]

ye 日当午

[stone flax]

yeayea

[austere creek]

i have a taobao account it seems lol

forgot i had one

[stone flax]

:0

[austere creek]

but yeah cant ship

[fallen pecan]

they dont ship to eu i believe

youll need a forwarder

[stone flax]

superbuy

or another agent service

[austere creek]

superbuy doesnt even take my bank account

time to call my bank for a rechargeable credit card again

[stone flax]

TwT i just do apple pay

since they took out paypal

[austere creek]

i dont have apple pay

lol

[stone flax]

rip

[cyan lark]

Lucky you. Apple Pay is a fucking curse. So easy.

[austere creek]

apparently... superbuy doesnt take passwords that are 128 characters long

max length is 20characters

well imma deal with this when i feel like dealing with a forwarder

thanks mj for the link though

[cyan lark]

Life before pw managers seems like the dark ages

[fast oriole]

Finally here!

[austere creek]

me not too long ago

and then slogging through 2weeks of decluttering passwords

lots of pw deduping and such

oh and checking if all the sites even still exist

[spring storm]

All cleaned up 😄

[cyan lark]

It takes a while but once it's done you feel like you just did a detox + sauna. so clean, so pure

I just did my top priority ones immediately and then would chip off a dozen or so every couple months for... a while

[austere creek]

i did it in one go over 2 weeks going from 500 or so logins to way less

[cyan lark]

I've had a vertical two monitor arm sitting in my closet and a monitor in my basement for almost 3 years now. Still just rocking my single ultrawide. Maybe someday.

Maybe I should make that my holiday break project 🤔

[spring storm]

I thought also about a ultrawide but just got that 34 Inch Oled

I swear these OLED Displays are such a gamechanger

[cyan lark]

Oh they're beauties. my UW is the Alienware OLED.

[spring storm]

I thought 2 weeks about which model I wanted, looked at every possible Review 😂

[cyan lark]

They're big investments

[spring storm]

Yeah man, here in Germany they are like 1,2k euro

[tropic urchin]

OLED gang welcomes you to the church

I have the PG32UCDM and it feels like a mini TV at times

Very nais

[spring storm]

Same as me 😄

[tropic urchin]

Oooh I see the little emblem now

[spring storm]

How long do you have it?

Any burn in issues?

[tropic urchin]

And artisan pad too based

[tropic urchin]

I got it in April

[austere creek]

also fixed the bottom row?

[spring storm]

Yes Sir 🥸

[spring storm]

Yeeeeeees

[tropic urchin]

No burn in, but I did have a red stuck pixel which scared the fuck outta me

But I was able to get it to revert to normal

I’d recommend when cleaning to only use distilled water

[spring storm]

I am so nervous about burn in man 😂

[tropic urchin]

I’m not worried about that tbh, the gen 2s seem pretty resilient

[spring storm]

Lets hope so

[spring storm]

I just use window cleaner 💀

[tropic urchin]

I’m more worried one day a pixel will just die or get stuck than burn in considering they’ve put a lot more features to combat burn in

[austere creek]

pls dont lol

thats the worst way to clean a screen

[tropic urchin]

I used a different monitor cleaner that stated it would be fine, and then 1-2 months later I got the stuck pixel so don’t use it

[fallen pecan]

might strip the coating

[austere creek]

id use distilled water if anything

[tropic urchin]

Distilled all the way

[spring storm]

Like I just spray a Bit one the microfaser cloth and Thats it

But I will buy some destilled water I guess

[austere creek]

its not how you apply it but the chemicals in window cleaner

[tropic urchin]

I wouldn’t chance it tbh

[spring storm]

Yeah true did Not think about it you guys are right

[austere creek]

also not good for phone screens despite the glass on top but they also have a coating for resisting oils and water

your pc case however is most likely fine to clean with window cleaner

[sacred elm]

i use this💀

[tropic urchin]

Mine was something similar to this 💀

[austere creek]

with specific screen cleaners id be a bit cautious to buy recognized brands

there is some janky no name shit ive seen

[tropic urchin]

Not exact I don’t think but I’ve been scared to Jesus 🙏🏻

5l for 3 euros, lets gooo

[austere creek]

how often do you clean lol

[cyan lark]

You can fill your bath with it a few times I suppose.

[spring storm]

I tend to scream a lot while playing valoront, so some cleaning every day or two is needed 💀

[austere creek]

maybe use a facemask lol

[cyan lark]

/ muzzle

[high sphinx]

hey guys for wooting macros do i need the wootomation software or can it also be done in the web ?

[sick shard]

would you ever smash your wooting kbd out of rage?

AGK style

[austere creek]

no clue what agk style means

[sick shard]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Psgn0kMfafo

[tropic urchin]

I only raise my mouse to pretend to throw it and put it back down calmly

Everything else too expensive for that shit 💀

He seems pretty calm

[sick shard]

this is the short version

[tropic urchin]

He gave his keeb the frostson flex test

[high sphinx]

does someone of you know if i need the wootomation for macros or can it be done in web ?

[cyan lark]

The former

[spring storm]

Thats me

[chilly mural]

I'm more scared cracking my glasspad

[tropic urchin]

I could see that

[chilly mural]

Aint no way I'm destroying it

[tropic urchin]

That would be a sad day fr

[chilly mural]

Too precious

[tropic urchin]

If I went glass pad def would be for the kazemi LE

[stone flax]

not the kazemi wallpaper

[chilly mural]

I dislike anime on mousepad

Pixel art fine tho

[tropic urchin]

I do too, but it needs to be tastefully done

There’s some fucking wild ones out there 😭

[chilly mural]

[split mirage]

I want carbon fiber keycaps

https://tenor.com/view/the-one-piece-is-real-one-piece-is-real-chopper-one-pice-cry-crying-gif-16937848457580500038

[raw oracle]

i still wish some company would make a metal bottom case for the wooting two

[polar girder]

I want aluminum

Carbon sounds sweet tho

With a carbon plate

And a M3K

Just need a carbon case lol

[tropic urchin]

CF composite caps would actually go super hard 👀

‘Plastic’ without feeling like plastic id cop

[fallen pecan]

there's a forged carbon HE board on the market, too bad it's not gh60 and a limited run

[stone flax]

thats just the ying

🥱

[fallen pecan]

this isnt gh60 right

[jade narwhal]

yeah the position of screw is different from gh60

[harsh dove]

I highly doubt carbon on carbon would sound good lol

[polar girder]

But carbon on carbon on carbon bro??

Lolz

[slate solar]

Keycap recommendations? 0-60$ budget

[harsh dove]

I won't lie, it'd be a cool theme, just don't think the sound would be there

[stone flax]

too many

[jade narwhal]

looking forward to lucifer switch

3.7mm fully closed bottom

[polar girder]

Meh

I just want the best

Not more options or better value

[slate solar]

any top choices?

gmk's a bit out of budget

[fast oriole]

I finally got my alumaze60

[reef oar]

looks great

new quest unlocked: source a white cable

[chilly mural]

there's plenty of it, shouldn't be too hard to get

[fast oriole]

where should I get one from?

I don’t want to drop 50$ on a coiled from Wooting

[high sphinx]

the venom 6Ohe is currently the fastest keyboard right ?

[chilly mural]

from Eyejokerdb, yeah. be prepared to DIY it tho

[reef oar]

i've bought two coiled cabled from aliexpress and they work with tachyon at 100%, though i let it limit it to 70% anyway

[fast oriole]

link?

[high sphinx]

i am not gonna buy it but where does the wooting 80he stand on the list of fastest is it any close or are there many others faster then the 80he ?

[reef oar]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005806842673.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.4365f19cbQGopN&_gl=1*7p5stc*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3MzM2Nzg4MDAuQ2owS0NRaUFwTlc2QmhENUFSSXNBQ21FYmtWVFZsY2dSQ1ZaV3hfaU5IR215YUY4Y3pZOWpZWnpxYkJvYXVWOTdFdmE2ejhmODdaNm5UQWFBak55RUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_dc*R0NMLjE3MzM2Nzg4MDAuQ2owS0NRaUFwTlc2QmhENUFSSXNBQ21FYmtWVFZsY2dSQ1ZaV3hfaU5IR215YUY4Y3pZOWpZWnpxYkJvYXVWOTdFdmE2ejhmODdaNm5UQWFBak55RUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_au*MTA0NTk2MTQzMS4xNzMzNjc1MTQw*_ga*MTAxNzU1MzY4MC4xNzMzNjc1MTQx*_ga_VED1YSGNC7*MTczNDk3NjgxMy41OS4xLjE3MzQ5NzY4MjAuNTMuMC4w

was impressed with this one

1.8m though

[chilly mural]

There's a lot of chinese board proclaiming 8khz so there might be a lot. The only one I got is venom tkl, similar ish to venom 60he but tkl

[crystal pagoda]

geon is not chinesium tho

[high sphinx]

oh ok i was just wondering

[crystal pagoda]

korean inhouse

[chilly mural]

80he is still really good, plus you can trust wooting to support it for years unlike most chinese board

[chilly mural]

A bit of wording problem but yeah, Venom by geon, and geon is nice

[high sphinx]

because when i saw a video only the rakka and the venom were faster but i am not sure because there were multiple graphs and i dont speak korean or can read it so i dont know exactly what it all means and yt translated subs are not optimal

[chilly mural]

it's fine~ If you fine with DIY go for venom, if you want something prebuilt go for wooting. That's all I'm gonna say.

[high sphinx]

yeah i went with wooting and i costumized it but it was my first more high end keyboard lets say so i did not know anything before i got the 80he

[stone flax]

can build a tiger lite gaming for 150 i think

bonkers deal

[chilly mural]

$100 for me, since I'm gonna be reusing my 80he spare parts

yey

[fast oriole]

is this actually legit?? No way I’m able to buy this for 1.07

[reef oar]

1.07??

[fast oriole]

Yes

[reef oar]

it's £12 for me

[reef oar]

i have no idea why it's 99c

try a different colour

[chilly mural]

cable can really cheap to make, it's the most common thing included in tech

this one is prop just first time user promo

[fast oriole]

Yes ^

Pretty sure it’s like 15 normally but everything on my shop was 0.99 for first time deal now it’s all back to normal

[fast oriole]

All colors were same

That’s sick

1.07 for tachyon coiled cable is crazy

[tropic urchin]

This might be what you’re asking about, was posted a few days ago I think it’s measuring latency time

[chilly mural]

G pro x rapid sad

[tropic urchin]

3.14 on huntsman v3 pro btw

[reef oar]

i forgot where i got my previous one from, i got it like 3y ago but it was £20 back then. i'm using that one rn and the braiding and aviation connection both feel higher quality

[chilly mural]

That one has an excuse by being optical iirc

[reef oar]

aliexpress is kinda rng i think though

[tropic urchin]

Latency so bad it got banished to pi realm

[reef oar]

most of the time i'm actually looking for higher prices on ali just to make sure

[fast oriole]

Now it’s 12$

It was my first order deal

[reef oar]

that's chill

[polar girder]

Every time I look at this bar graph, I look at my 60HE and cry

[chilly mural]

Keep praying wooting does 60he pro

with enough demand, they'll do it

[reef oar]

what would they even do though

[raw oracle]

meanwhile me still getting a wooting two instead of one of the smaller ones cause i want my numpad:

[reef oar]

full size is CRAZY

[raw oracle]

i use both that middle section and my numpad waaaay too much to ever get a keyboard without them

[reef oar]

i used to have a couple full size varmilos

i'd never go back to full size though

even tkl is more than enough once you've used 60% for a while

[raw oracle]

i'll never give up my fullsize keyboards, i have the desk space anyways, and i wont give up my numpad and the center section (whatever that ones called)

[reef oar]

yeah, if you're actually using it then there's no reason to drop it

all i ever used on that side was numlock

[raw oracle]

i'm still sad how little keyboard modding/custom stuff is made for fullsize tho

like, i can't even get a metal bottom case for my coming wooting two unless i have it custom machined for me which costs way too much

[reef oar]

yeah true

but at the same time that's pretty niche

[raw oracle]

the only company who actually wrote back to me with an offer wanted like 800€ to make that for me

[reef oar]

you're better off getting a whole new case rather than finding a custom bottom frankenstein thing

[tropic urchin]

Gotta get that venom 👀

[raw oracle]

got no idea which ones are compatible with the wooting two tho sadly

i mean, one would have to find a full size case in the first place, and then one that has room for f16-f19 keys above the numpad as well, which is even more niche on the custom keyboard market than fullsize is

[sacred elm]

why

[raw oracle]

and then somehow hope the screw positions are in places that still work with the wooting two pcb

[sacred elm]

anything below 1ms doesnt matter

those boards have equal performance

[raw oracle]

some boards do support proper 8khz poll rate, in which case there would be a difference below 1ms, even if it is just a minor one

[sacred elm]

no there is no noticeable difference, we are talking about sub 1ms difference for example between 80he and 60he

[raw oracle]

and i have been surprised in the past with cheap chinese knockoff boards for mechanical keyboards that had noticably higher poll rates than branded mechanical keyboards

[tropic urchin]

But venom

[raw oracle]

for some rhythm games that 0.125ms difference thanks to poll rate and lower latency can mean a different timing, in which case it does matter

[chilly mural]

IF you play at 10ms timing

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/venom-tom-hardy-marvel-rage-antihero-gif-11732259

[chilly mural]

22ms with 1k hz still fine

[sacred elm]

hey man, im playing osu myself, have both 80he and 60he, there is literally no difference in performance

[chilly mural]

16ms is like ehh.

[sacred elm]

please.

[raw oracle]

osu or osu lazer? cause that makes a huge difference

[sacred elm]

ok im done

[raw oracle]

stable osu only polls input at the games framerate, in which case anything above your game fps doesn't make a difference, lazer polls input ak 1khz no matter the framerate

[sacred elm]

sure bro, enjoy your 0.125ms input latency

[raw oracle]

hey, just stating facts, it can happen that the kb polling that .125ms before the game polling change the resulting timing, that's just a fact

same with the difference in input polling rate between osu stable and osu lazer

[raw oracle]

but yeah, you are right that the difference of different keyboards below 1ms is way less impactful than the difference of stable vs lazer or 1khz polling vs 125hz polling on the keyboard

(off topic but yes, i am still mad at gmmk for advertising some of their 125hz keyboards as 1000hz)

[chilly mural]

mmm, high polling only make sense to me if you play mania, since chord split can be a pain

[raw oracle]

i tend to play both mania and taiko from time to time, mostly sticking to standard tho where polling rate indeed does matter little to none

for taiko i use a taiko drum controller tho, so that's another can of worms alltogether

[chilly mural]

a bit too much, just stick to keyboard

pat pat

[high sphinx]

ty

[raw oracle]

tbh i am having way more fun in taiko with the drum controller, but it did take me a while to find a good one that was affordable

[high sphinx]

guys are gmk keycaps worth it ? cause i am thinking of ordering GMK evil dolch

[tropic urchin]

I love mine, I’d get em if you are okay with shine (each key cap over time with use gets very smooth feeling)

It also has a little grip to it once it gets fully smooth, but I’d get them with that in mind

[chilly mural]

IF you really like the style and look of it

I love mine

[tropic urchin]

Seconded for loving the style of it

[chilly mural]

I mean, if you gonna stare at your keyboard everyday, might as well

[high sphinx]

i really love the black and red the set is 90 euros and i have to get the french part of the set also cause i have iso french all total price will be 152 euros

[tropic urchin]

It is a tad expensive, mine was for a $200 bundle which I still feel like I prob got a little robbed on, but it’s okay

For the price you gotta really love it

Would be my advice

[high sphinx]

my pc is red and black headset also so maybe i am debating haha

[tropic urchin]

For the price you’re paying more than just for caps (caps + wages and supporting the brand etc)

[chilly mural]

and bragging right

[tropic urchin]

I’d see if there’s any other sets that catch your eye

[tropic urchin]

Sometimes ye

[high sphinx]

the sad thing is it has to be iso french

[tropic urchin]

But mostly it’s other ppl laughing at you for buying expensive caps

[tropic urchin]

I see

[high sphinx]

and this set has french parst is seperate kit and i like the colors

cause it matches setup

[tropic urchin]

The good news is it limits down your selection

[raw oracle]

i still love mine, got custom printed keycaps from wasd keyboards for like 100€ a while ago (had to get custom printed ones for what i wanted cause i couldn't find sets that included f16-f19)

[high sphinx]

how is the sound of the keycaps ?

[tropic urchin]

If it matches your setup and has everything you want and you love it, I’d buy it

[tropic urchin]

They make it sound a little brighter with some clack to it (I’m running full clack so mine will sound different from yours prob)

Might not be noticeable for yours but I like it

[high sphinx]

i have geon raws with the plastic case

[tropic urchin]

I think you should be fine for sound with RAWs

PCR will make it deeper by default, but I think you should be happy with it

When I had my raw frankenswitch it was less clacky than deep, but wasn’t a bad sound

[high sphinx]

i recently bought a keycap set but i am not super happy with them i just bought it to fix an issue i had that seemed to be normal xd

[high sphinx]

but this set is really a set i like

[tropic urchin]

I’d get the dolce since it seems like it fits your criteria well

[high sphinx]

i am buying them from deltakey they are not fake ones right ?

[leaden fossil]

Heres some other gmk sets that would fit your theme if you wanna check them out before committing. Gmk slasher, gmk bushido and gmk 80082

[raw oracle]

you seem like the right person to ask this, just to make sure, the jade pros do work well with wooting keyboards?

[tropic urchin]

I haven’t bought from them, but the alexstross link should have a few options

[tropic urchin]

Ye, I have em in my 80HE

Should work for 60/80HE

[raw oracle]

nice, will order some of those for my wooting two then

[high sphinx]

ok i will check em out ty

[raw oracle]

imma go ahead and assume that switches that work with those also work with the wooting two since i don't see any reason they wouldn't work

[tropic urchin]

As long as it’s HE it should be ok, worst case you can always return if anything weird pops up

[raw oracle]

ye, it is (don't think wooting even makes non HE keyboards xD)

[tropic urchin]

Should be fine to my knowledge

[tropic urchin]

That’s what I was afraid of for a sec lol, but yeah hope you enjoy em 🔥

[raw oracle]

so far i had used jades in my sayodevice, i assume that the jade pro are just straight up better than the regular jades

[tropic urchin]

Better tolerances and longer spring for improved rebound

And a wacky green tint bc why not 😭

They should’ve just made the pros more clear and not made maxes but it’s w/e

[raw oracle]

not gonna see that anyway, so don't care about it too much

[tropic urchin]

It’s not too bad, only noticeable on white or yellows

You might need to buy an uneven amount depending on where you’re buying it from since it’s only 70-90 on their official site but you can try to cop sets of 10 on Aliexpress maybe

[raw oracle]

i have any keyboard leds completely off by default, have had it that way for years, don't really like keyboard leds, my current kb doesn't even have leds outside of the 3 status leds

[raw oracle]

i buy my switches from candykeys usually since i don't need international shipping with them, they have most switches at a completely arbitrary quantity, could even go ahead and buy a single one of them if i wanted xD

[high sphinx]

when i go to deltakey website i can put the things in my cart but when i go to group buy this set does not stand there in group buy

@raw oracledo you maybe know why when i go to deltakey website and look at gmk evil dolch i can put it in my cart but when i go to group buys the set is not there and it is only available in the section keycaps ?

[raw oracle]

no idea, never done any group buy stuff myself

[high sphinx]

oh ok ty

[stone flax]

they do

[kind helm]

tofu arrived, waiting on PCB now, white case for a change

i am excited

[tropic urchin]

I haven’t used deltakey since I’m not EU, but might be sold out maybe. I’ll try and take a look after work to see what you’re looking at

[high sphinx]

ok ty man that would be nice of you i also send them an email

[sick shard]

nice case color

[polar girder]

Then just have to get yet another custom plate

Or can I use my 60He plate @calm pulsar

[tropic urchin]

Custom plates best plates

[kind helm]

you have the og 60he?

[tropic urchin]

Have to ask MJ or arc for that wisdom

[polar girder]

Module and custom plate

[placid wagon]

How many he switches are there?

[tropic urchin]

Only a Jade pro fanatic and not a venom one

[kind helm]

ahhh i some times forget even module is kinda old at this point

[stone flax]

worth it in terms of what

[high sphinx]

sound feel just the premium feeling and sound

[high sphinx]

they already sended mail back and they the group buy is over but there were still quantity in stock ready for pre order so i pulled the trigger 🥳

[sick shard]

anyone in europe selling a frost case or wanna trade for ghost?

[tropic urchin]

Ayy glad to hear 👀, figured it was something like that. Glad you got some of the extra stock

[stone flax]

depends on the pricce

[high sphinx]

yup one time investment haha

[polar girder]

Yeah bro. I’m obsolete aSf

yo @stone flax can I use Wooting plate with venom or nah

[kind helm]

😂 did you get venom during the pre order thing they had?

[high sphinx]

base set was like 90 euros and i got the french extra kit with it cause i use iso french for like 60 euros so 150 total

[polar girder]

No

#Ragrets

[kind helm]

if mine venom actually come through this time i can send you the link.

[polar girder]

Nice yeah thanks lmk

I don’t like being obsolete

[kind helm]

but shipping cost like 40 through DHL, DHL is relatively trust worthy though haven't failed me once so just gonna see

[polar girder]

I need KoM and Venom now lolz

[kind helm]

last time i had some random ass shipping company waited for 2 months and lost my s44t

[stone flax]

L

[high sphinx]

damn

[stone flax]

i mean ur frenchj

ig

[high sphinx]

yeah without the french part it would be awsome but i had to take it yeah ...

[tawdry tree]

Hundreds but 90% of them aren’t worth to even look at.

[placid wagon]

what are good ones?

[stone flax]

geon raw he, jade pro, ttc kom

[placid wagon]

those are the current best?

[tawdry tree]

Overall, yeah.

[placid wagon]

is there any reviews for the everglide switches

[tawdry tree]

Everglide Sticky Rices?

[placid wagon]

nah the other ones

i forgot the name

[tawdry tree]

Oh, rice pudding or something right?

Just send the ones you’ve seen.

There are many different ones under the same name and they’re not really worth it.

[placid wagon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FD-8BIVEvTw

master switches

[tawdry tree]

Only Skyline is, which is basically a Raw HE with a closed bottom.

[tawdry tree]

IIRC, the only difference between Master and Skyline is the stem color and maybe springs.

they are good though, if you can get them for a fair price.

I’d get Raw HEs if they’re cheaper though.

[placid wagon]

yeah figured

switch scene kinda boring no?

[tawdry tree]

You could say that.

There are only a few interesting switches.

[kind helm]

new switches are coming out but just not as good as raws or jade pro is all, i think

[polar girder]

Yo can anyone help me

Reee

Can I use venom PCB with Wooting plate? Loll

I r noob

[kind helm]

i just asked venom's china partner, at least for the plate those people made don't support it, the screwholes location don't match

[calm pulsar]

maybe only the 6.25u version, but even on that the standoffs could be slightly off

[tawdry tree]

Loose is very possible, so yeah.

[sick shard]

Today i got my first set of caps

[tawdry tree]

Just not very practical.

[sick shard]

now the Case, Switches and Modules

[kind helm]

better reason: 7U > 6.25U hehehe

[sick shard]

thats what she said.

[polar girder]

Where’d you get venom/frog plates?

Fk me bro. Input anxiety is real lol

[calm pulsar]

from geon

[polar girder]

Yeah exactly

[polar girder]

Ofc

[calm pulsar]

there is also a vendor that sells their own compatible plates

@kind helm do you remember what it's called?

hyperboring

[kind helm]

checking to make sure

[calm pulsar]

so they have frog plates

[kind helm]

there are 2 companies with name start with hype xD

isn't bigsly on a 60HE frog right now? oh he wants a 7U frog plate?

[polar girder]

Well I want 8k polling

lol

And 7u is just a cool to have

Every time I see that bar chart I get triggered

[kind helm]

well hyper boring only has tofu2.0 plate or just regular plate for venom. hypekeyboard has wooting plate for frog.

However, the file for venom plate exists online somewhere, i have one that i haven't personally used before

you can ask for a custom one through hypekeyboard i think

@stone flax on the same boat in terms of trying to get a 7U frog plate i think

better idea: get a new case

LMAO

[calm pulsar]

weren't there frog plates as well on taobao?

[kind helm]

i just gonna ask in the group chat cause its a pain in the a33 to search for that since i dont know if the frog case has a chinese name

probably gonna take a while for someone to answer that in the group chat, its 5am in china rn

[stone flax]

get a venom

[calm pulsar]

venom gang

[kind helm]

[warm shard]

[polar girder]

Fr

Now how

Did anyone order an Icebreaker by chance? Lol

That thing is seeet

[warm yarrow]

are there any third party sellers selling aluminum plates for the 80he?

[calm pulsar]

venoms are sold on aliexpress

but no plates it seems

could make a custom one

[jade storm]

hi

[jade storm]

is the HM66 still good?

[honest nacelle]

Get a venom

Hm66 is getting solo'd by almost everyone these days

[polar girder]

Ah ok

I’m not making shit

Could message hypekeyboards maybe

[calm pulsar]

maybe I can somehow make exact measurements of my frog 7u plates, but not sure how to do it

[stone flax]

get frog files

get venom files

line them up

add standoffs locations to frog

[kind helm]

i thought you were gonna do that for yours

[calm pulsar]

ngl I think you could get away with a non-HE 7u plate

[stone flax]

i did until i say the pricetag for that was 50 dollars

plus shipping from canada

:3

[kind helm]

😂 yeee custom tho

[polar girder]

Yesssss

[stone flax]

PLEASE

[polar girder]

PLEASE do it for me

Then I can

[stone flax]

i will buy

[calm pulsar]

make me some plastic ones while yall at it

[stone flax]

nylon plate

🤔

[kind helm]

pcb price for a plate xD

[stone flax]

nylon plate is banger tho

i might

[polar girder]

I have nylons for Wooting

[stone flax]

be baller and one day buy all plate materials for venom

[dry rune]

WOOHOO NEW SWITCHES SOON

[stone flax]

who got a cf

[polar girder]

Not me

[kind helm]

i am waiting on one

[dry rune]

mj

[calm pulsar]

cf only from hyperboring I think

[polar girder]

I don’t fuck with that purposefully clacky shit

[dry rune]

mj mj mj mj

[stone flax]

hai qt

[dry rune]

U think the geon raws will sound alot better than the stock switches?

[stone flax]

its preference

but if u have the correct preferences

they will

i have a raptors vs raws sound test

if ur interested

[dry rune]

hmmm

[kind helm]

lekker v1 should be burn in hell and should all be in the trash at this point :V

[dry rune]

Umm idk what im gonna so wirh rhat

[stone flax]

raptors sound alike to lekkers

[dry rune]

Ah

[stone flax]

lmk

[sacred elm]

if you have lekker v1 dont even use your board

[dry rune]

i have the original 60he

[sacred elm]

yes so lekker v1

[dry rune]

Xd

[sacred elm]

get raws or jade pros

[jade storm]

Yes sir

[dry rune]

Should be here in like 4-5 days

[jade storm]

Does Venom have the 1U right shift?

[stone flax]

raws better

[fast oriole]

Raws are so raw

[stone flax]

OwO

the tadpoles are here

@polar girder :o

[sacred elm]

QwQ

[polar girder]

Have fun

[tropic urchin]

@_@

[calm pulsar]

its not 1u, it's split right shift where one key is 1u and the rest is the shift key

don't remember the size

[jade storm]

hot

[tawdry tree]

haven’t seen alu yet. You could ask the Ali store, they might be able to do alu too.

[warm yarrow]

which ali store?

[tawdry tree]

Accuracy, yes. Latency, no. There should release an update soon that significantly improves latency.

[calm pulsar]

time for the bounce

https://youtu.be/UXW_0gHn03w

[tawdry tree]

Fun Store iirc

Search “80HE plate” on Ali and you’ll find the store.

[warm yarrow]

thank you

[calm pulsar]

Keyboard Fun Store

the full name

you can also look for "wooting sound pack" and they will likely come up

[tropic urchin]

I didn’t find an Alu plate for keeb funstore when I bought mine

[calm pulsar]

ah they asked about alu

yeah never seen any so far

for 80he

[tropic urchin]

Same with steel, but must mean not a strong demand. Weird they have brass but not alu 🤔

[kind helm]

there is hope, since a custom case is coming out from kbdfan

there maybe plates too, like the 60he situation they had

[calm pulsar]

kbdfans are making cf and fr4 too

[tawdry tree]

For a 64%, the M6Lite is probably the best right now, highest performance and accuracy. Rakka H64 is great too but it’s discontinued. A V2 should release early next year though.

[kind helm]

ahhh... well maybe try to get the file from wooting and ask for one with hypekeybaord then xD

[warm yarrow]

sorry another question since i haven't used aliexpress. i only see like 16 products here none relating to the 80he. is it location dependent or do i have to log in, anything like that?

[tawdry tree]

You can’t search for the store directly afaik

If that’s what you tried to do.

[calm pulsar]

https://sl.aliexpress.ru/p?key=G3zsGuP

here is a link to one listing from their store
you need to change the region or language and it should display it for your region

[calm pulsar]

from there you can go to the store

[tawdry tree]

Top right, contact them and ask if they can do alu.

Prob will need an account.

[warm yarrow]

alright thank you again

[sacred elm]

kbdfans told me they might release fr4,cf, brass and alu for 80he, first two are guaranteed but brass and alu arent

[wicked fable]

Guys do I buy the Aluve keycaps? They are on sale for $200 USD rn

[calm pulsar]

oh cool

[marsh saffron]

200 USD for keycaps

[tawdry tree]

I can ask as well if you cba to make an account

I’m curious too

[tawdry tree]

on sale..

[wicked fable]

But it's discounted from $400USD so must be a good deal right 😭

[tawdry tree]

the frick

[marsh saffron]

What the fuck

[calm pulsar]

200 usd for metal caps

[wicked fable]

They are full aluminium

[calm pulsar]

scary

[tawdry tree]

Are they good?

[wicked fable]

Well I like the style, and I feel like metal keycaps must feel nice?

[warm yarrow]

that would be great yea

[tropic urchin]

Alu keycaps perfect for RAW case

[wicked fable]

Apparently they occassionaly have some tolerance issues tho

[wicked fable]

That's legit the build i was gonna make

[warm yarrow]

but well it looks like my order options are limited based on my location

[tropic urchin]

I saw a dude go full chrome and it looks fire

[sacred elm]

metal keycaps aint it

[tropic urchin]

Def a 11/10 aesthetic

[stone flax]

not very bouncy

most noticable change is that the loss of excess resonance/ping

[wicked fable]

It's gonna be like $500 USD for the full build tho 😭

[stone flax]

as the tadpoles are less stiff

sounds very nice now

[calm pulsar]

yeah I noticed that when I switched to 50a from 80a

[wicked fable]

What makes you say that?

[tropic urchin]

Mine was more if it makes you feel better

[cyan lark]

Just for the Esc

[stone flax]

sounds okie now

[tropic urchin]

Nah, esc key wasn’t what put it over but it contributed for sure

[stone flax]

Idk why i switched from gmk to this tho TwT

[wicked fable]

Did you buy some crazy artisan esc key?

[tropic urchin]

I got a Opal escape key to match my lazurite GMK set

Real shit and not resin

[wicked fable]

That's the ultimate flex

As in the real gem opal?

[stone flax]

is it just me or alphas sound better @calm pulsar

compared to 80a

[tropic urchin]

Ye bello opal and lapis lazuli inset

[tawdry tree]

Alright, I asked them. I’ll tag you here with their reply when they do.

[calm pulsar]

less sharp I feel like

[stone flax]

yea

[tropic urchin]

Here’s the sauce

[stone flax]

i need gmk back

TwT

[wicked fable]

Total cost?

[stone flax]

es too sad

[calm pulsar]

where did it go

[stone flax]

i just unmounted it

[tropic urchin]

I don’t remember the approx but it’s in the $500-700 range prob.

[stone flax]

but gmk spacebars hits

[wicked fable]

It looks really nice, but I feel like having a HE board juxtaposes with having really nice components you know?

[tropic urchin]

I wanted the full custom experience so I got a little saucy

[stone flax]

gmk

cheap pbt

;-;

[wicked fable]

GMK sounds way better

[tawdry tree]

who needs a desk mat when you have towels

[stone flax]

[sacred elm]

nice towel

[stone flax]

thanks

[calm pulsar]

gmk has more soul to it

(actual keyboard term (just made it up))

[stone flax]

ya

[calm pulsar]

the spacebar is insanely well tuned imo

[stone flax]

people do say abs spacebars are livelier

so saying it has more soul isnt too far off

😭

[tropic urchin]

Nah the word you’re looking for is aura

[calm pulsar]

or skibidi

[tropic urchin]

That’s reserved for GMMK boards actually

[fast oriole]

what switches are these

[calm pulsar]

geon raw he

[fast oriole]

damn they sound really clacky

[fluid ravine]

is this your neo board?

[stone flax]

no

is me frog

[fluid ravine]

[stone flax]

ERM

this is my neo

also excuse the typing because i used to type with my index v.v

[fluid ravine]

Crack heaven

(o.o)  Clack*

[stone flax]

[fluid ravine]

[stone flax]

can anyone help me get my wooting to sound like this ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3wJxjsRD4Y

[kind helm]

ez https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_9vXJZVT54

glarses actually commented on that video LMAO

[paper bloom]

LOL

[grim trench]

I was told that it'd be better to buy lube off aliexpress than the wooting store if I were to get something like the ttc magneto pom's. I was able to find the krytox lube but what about the molykyte lube for the stabilizers, or is that not necessary?

[kind helm]

lube from any keyboard site would work as long as you are using the "appropriate" kind of the task. usually in the description i think it would say which kind it is. the thicker lube is for contact between plastic and mental the lighter kind is for contact between plastic and plastic

krytox makes both the thick kind and the lighter kind, you should check what kind they are first. you can buy from anywhere though, which ever is more convenient and cheaper is probably better

[hollow dagger]

What's your config? The clack sounds so satisfying

[neon rune]

Molykote EM-50L stabilizer wire grease or Permatex 22058 Dielectric Tune-Up Grease for STABS?

[stone flax]

neo65, cf plate, hmx monochromes (kd200 recolor), gmk, gasket dumbells

[stone flax]

grease for wire unless ur stabs are sensitive

[neon rune]

im using the stock stabs for the 80he

[stone flax]

grease for wires

[hollow dagger]

How do you fit a 65

[stone flax]

because its not a wooting?

this was my wooting

[hollow dagger]

[kind helm]

poor frog stuck with a wooting instead of venom

[neon rune]

what do you mean by grease the permatex?

[hollow dagger]

Frog mini with cf?

[stone flax]

theyre both a grease

[stone flax]

pp

polypropylene

[neon rune]

yeah which is better

[stone flax]

grease is grease

[hollow dagger]

Dont quite understand the 'tadpole' thing can you explain that

[stone flax]

its like a top mount but rather than being secured by screws it uses these sillicone tadpoles that can shift in hardnesses

[hollow dagger]

Oh damn so u can adjust the softness of typing?

That's a cool concept but I assume you'd need different plates

[stone flax]

a bit yeah

[stone flax]

yeah the frog itself needs a specific plate

[neon rune]

should i keep the stock stabs for the wooting 80he or get different ones if i want the best

[stone flax]

to hold the tadpoles

[stone flax]

just tune the old ones

[polar girder]

Stock chilling

[hollow dagger]

Wanna get myself one but gdi its not in stock

Any idea how often they restock?

Or how I can get updates

[polar girder]

Get one what

Frog mini is dead

No more production

Gotta buy off mechmarket or something

[hollow dagger]

Oh damn thats sad

[polar girder]

https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/s/j94F20qYlA
