[tropic urchin]

TTC is just very sharp and plasticky (lube would help), but not paying for Jade max price again for something I don’t like really

If Jade gaming sounded like pros then we’d have a legit debate

[autumn creek]

@sacred elm AW2723DF is the exact model

[sacred elm]

thanks

[harsh dove]

Yeah well, I want 240Hz 3840 x 1600 QD-OLED

Wonder if I could resell my limited edition black knights for a $1 each

[tawdry tree]

The Black Knights do have that gold sparkled top housing

so who knows.

[cyan lark]

"For pairing w/ GMK Cosmos"?

[harsh dove]

That's how I'll get em

[tropic urchin]

Why am I cursed with large hands these standoffs suck smh

😭

For the people interested: Jade pros do not move on CF plate, they’re firmly locked in

@sacred elm rip your friends taobao plate 😭

[sacred elm]

lol i showed him your video

his plate was cooked

[tropic urchin]

Like I tried

And it was firm

[sacred elm]

his shit was so wobbly

[tropic urchin]

I feel bad for him tho

I’d be so mad

Omg I might be in love with this plate

[polar girder]

lol my buddy had one and had a hell of a time pushing it with his 7900xtx

So many pixels

[harsh dove]

Yeah they're nice but never got popular so companies don't make em really

3440x1440 was more popular

There's some 5120 x 2160 240Hz coming out next year but gonna need two 5090s to drive that

[polar girder]

The 5090 is going to be a beast

lol

Hoping 5090 has full dp2.1 bandwidth

Then just need a monitor to do the same

[harsh dove]

and cable

[polar girder]

Right

[harsh dove]

lol

[cyan lark]

I'm thinking about investing in a small fusion reactor for the 5090

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m going to harvest my wife’s kidney in her sleep

NBD

[harsh dove]

Man you guys got it figured out

[cyan lark]

I didn't know that was even an option! 🧠

[tropic urchin]

Why is CF so much easier to pull switches than PC, there’s a 50/50 for PC to make my Jade go flying but CF is just very simple and clean pull

Goated plate? 👀

[harsh dove]

Stiffness

Could also just be minor tolerance differences in your CF vs PC plates

made by diff manu's

[tropic urchin]

True

I was worried the switches would wobble but this shit is super firm

[harsh dove]

Like I have a POM plate that doesn't hold switches very well, the tolerances for the switch holes aren't as tight

It's also slightly warped so I don't use it lol

[tropic urchin]

Nah why does this plate fit the PCB so much better than stock PC plate

This is goated

[inner wren]

Is there any website where i can buy the wooting plate as well so it'll arrive faster?

I did that with the tofu60 redux and was wondering if its possible with the plate aswell

[dusty wren]

https://us.maxgaming.com/us/cases/tofu60-redux-dark-blue

is this real

[tidal frigate]

Looks like it

[vale chasm]

Anyone know what I can do about this? 💀

The keycap stems broke

now the spacebar won't grip the stabilizer so it just goes to one side

[sacred elm]

buy new keycaps

[tropic urchin]

@chilly mural

CF plate is legit 😳

[sacred elm]

need cf

[vale chasm]

already placed the order is there anything i can do to temporarily fix it meanwhile

[tropic urchin]

Also low key heavier 🤣

[chilly mural]

It has the clack, just need the deepness next

Geon raw or jade?

[tropic urchin]

Title gives it away hehe

[chilly mural]

waow, jade pro

[chilly mural]

Can try like 3 switch of geon raw if you have it?

[tropic urchin]

Idk if I have any left that aren’t damaged ngl

[chilly mural]

it's fine, at least I know CF is clack

[tropic urchin]

I kinda massacred them with my default tools before titanium puller

It should sound similar to raws on steel plate

[knotty iron]

How is the PC plate from Wooting?

for the 60HE

[sacred elm]

ofc cf is clack

[chilly mural]

I wonder if I should go for steel, I heard that arcade uses something like that to hold their button.

[tropic urchin]

I haven’t tried steel, but I am a believer in firm plates

[knotty iron]

Default 60HE+ prebuilt has steel

[sacred elm]

steel is good

stiff plates for wooting on top

[harsh dove]

I like it, I don't have a problem with it, although I don't have it in any of my builds currently besides 80HE stock PC plate obvs

both my 60 builds are using POM

I pretty much have every plate material for 60he besides PP (Polypropylene)

[tropic urchin]

CF + Jade pros actually nerfs RGB a ton lmao

This shit hella dark

[harsh dove]

Yeah lol

esp since Jade Pros have tinted top housing compared to og jades

[tropic urchin]

If you use GMK it does, on default see thru caps it’s not bad

[tropic urchin]

Ye

Sound is 1,000% on point

I can live with it

[harsh dove]

RGB Off is the best way to enjoy a keyboard anyway

[tropic urchin]

Kinda looks like it now, but I def like RGB off for my set more but 70% is nice

[cyan lark]

I like it for profile discernment (larger notifier than just the bar)

[knotty iron]

I heard Polypropylene is nice but does it mess with the hall effect?

[sacred elm]

aerobrake dont you play geometry dash

forget pp plate

[harsh dove]

I’m sure it’s fine if you use a silicone sandwich pad

[tropic urchin]

oooh are those the xray caps

[knotty iron]

or the friction fit, as I was planning on doing

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[tropic urchin]

very nais

[harsh dove]

That too

[knotty iron]

yep xray

Hey Cam can I see a demo of some RGB with XRAY?

[tropic urchin]

despite the RGB being hella dark, I low key dont mind it as much since bright RGB already kinda fucks with my keycaps for shine on the blue keys so I can live with CF being alot darker

[knotty iron]

Tachyon mode bros in chat be like

[tropic urchin]

I always keep it on since I just split the board 50/50 with static colors

But red is looking peak 😳

[harsh dove]

Yeah I got a zesty lil demo I think lol hold on

[polar girder]

Eventually they (me) all come around lol

[harsh dove]

2nd video zesty

[chilly mural]

Uwu

[sacred elm]

cam fr4 doesnt affect rgb right

[harsh dove]

Yeah it would a lil bit tbh

Shouldn't be bad though just not at radiant/vibrant as a white plate

[harsh dove]

oh its not black fr4

[sacred elm]

yea its white

[harsh dove]

oh nice

then you should be good

[tropic urchin]

I think thats the brass one shafie

[glacial sail]

hello, not sure if this is the right channel to post this in, but i just got a 60he and installed some new wooting keycaps and my spacebar keeps sticking if i set it completely on the stabilizers. it doesn't do that with the default keycaps just this one and im not sure what to do. if anyone can help would be appreciated

[sacred elm]

wait yea

lol

[tropic urchin]

should be 3rd one in

[sacred elm]

ok this def should be ok

[harsh dove]

yeah

[harsh dove]

Its the same with Thock and Clack, most want thock at first then come around to clack

[cyan lark]

KoM is for the cream of the crop (80he zinc, tape mod)

[harsh dove]

I need to put my headphones on for this, he has a ring on in the video

[mental salmon]

Hey Guys, last time I asked the Geon Raptors were the “best” new switches, is that still true? I am starting to look for options to improve my current lekkersV2

[harsh dove]

Lot of people seem to like the new Geon Raw HEs, Gateron Jade Pros, or TTC Magneto's, there's a lot of new switches since the Raptors though

[sacred elm]

raptors were best switches when there was only lekker v1 lol

raptors are garbage now

if you want to upgrade your lekker v2s get jade pros or geon raws

[cyan lark]

That's how you know I'm dedicated

[harsh dove]

by the time you check-in again @mental salmon , people will be saying the Geon Raws and Jade Pros are garbage now

[knotty iron]

besides the holes, that looks SICK

[tidal frigate]

Because wooting would release tactile lekkers tommorow

[sacred elm]

[tidal frigate]

[harsh dove]

yeah lil holes are meh but I prefer RGB off anyway

[dusty wren]

best force for raw he?

[harsh dove]

at least the big holes are painted

[tidal frigate]

Preference

[harsh dove]

50g is a good middle ground if you're not sure but its all preference

[dusty wren]

i like the jade pros

so which

[harsh dove]

Both are great

Can't go wrong

[dusty wren]

no like i mean

which force

would work

[harsh dove]

Oh

[knotty iron]

I think I saw a vid eith someone actually filling in the holes with some sort of paint

[dusty wren]

if i like jade

[harsh dove]

If you like Jade get 50g

[dusty wren]

i’m getting raws cs i have jade pros and i want like a creamy or thocky rather than clacky

[harsh dove]

Yeah all the XRay sets are handpainted, Alexotos painted his himself iirc

[sacred elm]

50g raws will feel lighter than jade pros because pros have longer spring

[harsh dove]

^ True

[knotty iron]

imo its closer to a creamy because never have I heard thocky hall effect

[harsh dove]

they have 20mm spring vs Raw HE 15mm springs

[dusty wren]

okay i love creamy

like

i like the creamy more than the clacky so would the raw he be better for that

[sacred elm]

what

[knotty iron]

they are creamier but def not the creamiest switch

[dusty wren]

the jade pros feel clacky to me

[polar girder]

lol nahhh

[sacred elm]

i have bad news for you

[harsh dove]

tbh Jade Pros I think would get you closer to creamy but creamy isn't really a thing on HE

[sacred elm]

raws are def clackier

[polar girder]

Clack is clean which is not always true for thock

[dusty wren]

really

[sacred elm]

@dusty wren

[dusty wren]

i thought since there’s no closed bottom

[sacred elm]

first are jade pros, then raws

[knotty iron]

at least my experience with raw he

[harsh dove]

I personally feel like Jade Pros are a tad deeper than Raw HEs

[dusty wren]

oh wth

[sacred elm]

This.

[knotty iron]

idk if its also my table or acoustic chamber helping me with that

[dusty wren]

are the raws not lubed on that?

[knotty iron]

they are prelubed

[dusty wren]

o

[sacred elm]

both are factory lubed in this sound test. jade pros are a bit deeper

but still clacky

[harsh dove]

Yeah thock can get "muddy" or just simply muted sometimes

[dusty wren]

okay i mean better for me tbh then cs i’d rather not spend extra money

on the raws

[sacred elm]

yea you better stay with jade pros, because then if you go with raws you will be disappointed

[dusty wren]

what plate do u have for that

[sacred elm]

pc

[dusty wren]

cs my factory lube don’t sound like that

oh same wth

what case

[sacred elm]

plastic 80he

[dusty wren]

ohh

[cyan lark]

Remember the way you record/what you record on has a massive impact on the sound

[dusty wren]

mine is alumnae 60hr

[sacred elm]

yea 80he will sound different

[dusty wren]

alumaze

ohh

[harsh dove]

do you have it tray mounted or friction?

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m between jade pro or KoM

[harsh dove]

I need to purchase some KoMs just cause tbh

Sno said he liked em so now I gotta try em lol

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-hello-elmo-rise-elmo-hell-gif-6774220897048944396

[sacred elm]

@dusty wren id recommend lubing jade pros if you want to make them more "creamy". lubing springs will eliminate that tiny plasticky sound

[tropic urchin]

@sacred elm when you ordering your new plate

[sacred elm]

and it will sound way cleaner

[tropic urchin]

super 2nded

[sacred elm]

im still deciding which one i should order, i was going for cf but your video killed me

[tropic urchin]

mfer you said you didnt care about RGB 💀

[harsh dove]

https://wooting.io/product/friction-fit-pad
You could also get yourself one of these instead of tray mounting your board for a different sound

[sacred elm]

dude, im using blue/cyan rgb. blue looks like brown in your video

wth

[tropic urchin]

that was purple/dark blue

[dusty wren]

tray

that’s where i screw it on right

[harsh dove]

yeah

[dusty wren]

yas i was going to when i got the time

do i have to rub the factory lube off first

[dusty wren]

how would it change

[polar girder]

Fr

[cyan lark]

You know that smell in the air just before it rains on a beautiful spring day? This is what that's like.

[polar girder]

Black Knights so Mid

[harsh dove]

Friction mounting essentially helps reduce or remove dead sound spots where your board is screwed into the tray, and helps provide a more even consistent sound across the keyboard overall.

Keep this in mind too for grounding (ESD) reasons

• https://library.wooting.io/e5f992c4d2504e879db95ac1d1d449c4

[polar girder]

But if I cop venom then Jade Pro prob makes more sense for me

Also can justify taking entire thing out to put in knight v2 stabs if I swap switches too lol

[harsh dove]

you haven't put those in yet lol?

[polar girder]

Lolzzz

[harsh dove]

didn't you get those a while back

[polar girder]

I’ve had clear since Sept

And black since October I think

☠️

Malaise

[harsh dove]

Bro waited for V2s forever I swear then never installs them

[polar girder]

Ong

So much work bro

I haven’t been that bored yet I guess lol

[harsh dove]

It's like 8 screws unless you're tray mounted too lol but I feel you

[barren wasp]

is it compatible with stock plastic case?

[polar girder]

lol bro thinks I tray mount

[polar girder]

Yes

I think stock Wooting plastic case, with friction fit pad; and PC plate would be pretty goated for the price

With some hand lubed lekker v2

[harsh dove]

Actually not 100% on that lemme test it real quick for you

[barren wasp]

that sounds like a good idea but ill be using jade pros instead

[polar girder]

Solid

[dusty wren]

what stabs should i get

[fluid ravine]

Good afternoon Gents

[sacred elm]

do you have 60he+

[dusty wren]

yes

w pc plate

[dusty wren]

so what should i get

[polar girder]

What’s wrong with stock ones?

[sacred elm]

get knight v2 stabs

if you have plate mount stabs right now

[barren wasp]

thank you and let me know if its worth it

[harsh dove]

I'm gonna go with no lol

Way too tight imo

[polar girder]

Oh snap

That’s sad

NGL

[fallen bronze]

if i literally cannot tell the sound difference between geon raw and jade pro, which is better build quality and has less wobble?

[modern surge]

Are replacing the stabilizers on the 60- worth it and if so which ones are the best

Nvm i read chat and basically everyone said u dont rlly need

Imma just lube em in 4k

[sacred elm]

get jade pros

you wont tell the difference until you try both, they sound a bit different

[modern surge]

What lube should i use for my stab

[polar girder]

Krytox 205g0 for housing

Could do the same or grease for stab wire

[sacred elm]

if you have plate mount stabs right now then yes, get knight v2

[barren wasp]

do you know any cases that are compatible with it besides the optimum case?

[sacred elm]

alumaze

[harsh dove]

Alumaze and Tofu and likely things similar to those cases like 461E, Freebird, KlippeT, etc but you may need to figure out a way to ground the usb port so you don't get ESD and get shocked

https://library.wooting.io/e5f992c4d2504e879db95ac1d1d449c4

[sweet oak]

My eevee is here

[cyan lark]

😄

[bright palm]

cute

[cyan lark]

Very cute

[sacred elm]

what if you swap mode key with it, will it look worse

looks nice tho

[sweet oak]

i like how the mode key is too much to move it

[fluid ravine]

Very very cute

[modern surge]

Can you link me it please 🥲

[sacred elm]

https://swagkeys.com/products/sw-knight-stabilizer

https://deltakeyco.com/products/sk-knight-stabilizer

[polar girder]

Is this grounding just new for friction fit or what’s the 411 here?

I have kilmat inside so I’m scared lol

[sacred elm]

to make sure you have 60he+ right

[harsh dove]

Tbh I don't even know the full verdict on it, besides what's said in that notion link I sent, but I also haven't had issues in other cases, if there's a particular reason for that idk or maybe I enjoy electric shocks who knows

says very low chance so

[stone flax]

just lube them

[kind helm]

and i thought you were being sarcastic

[modern surge]

I have the 60- lol

[sacred elm]

oh non plus ok knight v2 isnt compatible. then just lube your stock stabs

[midnight flint]

any recommendation on how to remove the geon raw he's? These are like stuck in the pcb

[kind helm]

did you undo the screws that tie pcb and plate together?

[midnight flint]

omg im slow

no I did not

[austere creek]

the main risk is not grounding the case because you burger mount the pcb for example or friction fit it and the case has no grounding pad connecting the PCB ground to the case

[sacred elm]

yea just disassemble board because raws have that problem

without disassembling you will break some switches

[midnight flint]

yea now Im trying to figure out to remove the whole thing since its on a friction pad

[sacred elm]

shouldve went with jade pros smh

[midnight flint]

thats what im switching it to haha

[sacred elm]

theyre a lot easier to pull

[kind helm]

yea i was very worried for a moment at that time, thockfather calmed me down

[tropic urchin]

Jade pro church growing

[kind helm]

jade pro gud, rgb works, just have to shift the color a little

still got the color i wanted for it

[spice apex]

my spacebar led is always red for some reason

so ive just been using tachyon mode

[sacred elm]

Josh you use jade pros?

[kind helm]

i had to do this

[fluid ravine]

Chat should I try jade pro

[kind helm]

a little bit more clack & a little bit more snappy than raw

[modern surge]

Sound testtt

[fluid ravine]

huh i thought the raw was slightly higher pitched than pros

[sacred elm]

I wouldnt say jade pros are clackier, theyre a bit deeper for sure

[fluid ravine]

yeah thats what i thought^

[sacred elm]

thats how it is

[kind helm]

oh yea maybe cause i lubed my raw and swapped the spring

[fluid ravine]

what are the spring weight

and length

on the pros

[sacred elm]

20mm 36/50

they feel hella nice

[kind helm]

ignore my cat

[fluid ravine]

yeah they're pretty good

what's your config

[kind helm]

salvation + pc

[sacred elm]

this is mine

[tropic urchin]

Looks nais 👀

Welcome new convert

[sacred elm]

ignore background noise

[kind helm]

nope dig my tainted raw more

[fluid ravine]

alright ill see where i go

[modern surge]

Meow

[tropic urchin]

[polar girder]

They are lol

(I have neither one)

[fluid ravine]

yeah was confirmed

lol

i need to buy lube first though lowkey

[kind helm]

if my precious venom finally arrives this time, i am throwing my raw on my tofu 2.0 venom

[modern surge]

Im about to (s)cream

[fluid ravine]

hell yeah

[kind helm]

mbmb for a moment i forgot the raw i had was modified

[sacred elm]

wait what

[fluid ravine]

i swear its going to be a "waste" of money just to buy like jade pros while having raws

[sacred elm]

@fluid ravine

[kind helm]

well unless you have multiple boards

[tropic urchin]

Just gotta wait for next Black Friday discount hehe

[kind helm]

hehehehe

[fluid ravine]

well i only got one board

lol

[fluid ravine]

i mean they're $50 on amazon rn

[tropic urchin]

And by then we will have Gateron Jade pro max gaming edition with multi color boxstem

[sacred elm]

lol

[fluid ravine]

yup just as expected

[tropic urchin]

$50 is $50 tho 👀

[fluid ravine]

yeah $50 is $50

[polar girder]

Same

[fluid ravine]

im not mad at that

[modern surge]

Hopefully my 60 sounds similiar when im done w it

[kind helm]

the plan is sticky rice v2 plateless salvation, tofu redux pc jade pro, and tofu 2.0 alu tainted raws

[polar girder]

50$ for 70 jade pros?

What a steal

[fluid ravine]

someone give me $20 worth of amazon gift card :D

jkjk

i have $37

rn

uh

total comes up to $54

lackign $17

dunno how long this sale will last

hope i have enough time maybe

[modern surge]

If you’re spending your last 37 dollars on switches i think you dont need them 😭

[polar girder]

I don’t see that on Amazon

I get $62

[sacred elm]

those who know how much sno paid for them

[polar girder]

I need to buy a controller anyway

Might buy some switches

[fluid ravine]

thats the 90pc option no?

[cyan lark]

I suspect they were looking at Jades https://www.amazon.com/GATERON-Magnetic-Pre-lubed-Pre-travel-Mechanical/dp/B0CQXGTJWG?crid=1ZTV29T2V314M&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ktZp9m4D310P5CE2SS0iYtdzM_1QBUxl84BxlXLz1E_U20FEiaLUqa1ioIyZHpGwsPw5xzGkqo46KWXJxPoGOnyBMFlKc7hSUEnp5ZQehhtZRe3MfQkFBk3I2Y7dFKCvDIC9SPg2D502w4_cLAx7fq0hsn-C4yb4McGN_mVywKlEhHqwUVLPIQkrpAxdy7Q8oKiSXG2n6lix4ZjnTxsJRkg_W7vknv2n3bqkg7XhYuQ.ECY3dnoUU-NBfdclQG_qk_d54CklYVf-E5u1bJyasYw&dib_tag=se&keywords=jade+pro+switches&qid=1735250217&sprefix=jade+pro+switche%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-5

[fluid ravine]

[kind helm]

yeee still expensive even with discount

[fluid ravine]

that's $40 for me

[fluid ravine]

LOL

[cyan lark]

They must like you more

[kind helm]

wait on that link its 40 for me too

tf

[fluid ravine]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[kind helm]

wait one is jade

[fluid ravine]

oh shi i just leaked my zippy code

[tropic urchin]

Just don’t tell rainbolt

[polar girder]

No

[fluid ravine]

look again

right is jade

[kind helm]

yea

[fluid ravine]

yeah they like me more fr

nah they just trying to make me buy it trust

[fluid ravine]

damn

[cyan lark]

Do it, you won't.

[sacred elm]

wtf is this price

[kind helm]

thats the price before nov i think

[fluid ravine]

I spent like $600 on amazon this month 😭

[sacred elm]

ah

[cyan lark]

Don't do it.

[fluid ravine]

this is such a rare moment for me

LMAOOOOOO

the switch up

wild

[tropic urchin]

The real tech is to have 3% cash back on online purchases on your CC 👀

Thank me later 🫡

[fluid ravine]

see i have no fking clue on what you just said

[kind helm]

credit card

xD

[fluid ravine]

dont got one

boom

[tropic urchin]

Wait until you do 😎

[fluid ravine]

LOL

hope so

[polar girder]

https://tenor.com/view/big-big-bank-big-money-gif-14077738

[tropic urchin]

But basically every time you spend $ online you get 3% cash back, so it’s infinite money glitch if you buy a lot of shit online

[kind helm]

if you are 16+ think you can get one, but you gotta speak to mama. just say "i need to build my credit"👀

[tropic urchin]

That’s true tho, I got mine at 18 and got stellar credit lmao

[kind helm]

you reminded me, i havent checked in a while

[tropic urchin]

I had like over $200 for when I got my artisan key 🤣

[cyan lark]

Do not accept financial advice on a keyboard discord.

[kind helm]

LMAO

[tropic urchin]

True, but there’s a fine line between telling someone to build credit history and telling them to invest their life savings into GME stock

[cyan lark]

🤔

[polar girder]

“Stock”

[tropic urchin]

The last part is a joke if you didn’t pick up on it

[cyan lark]

I know I'm just teasing bud.

[kind helm]

its true though you should get a credit card early and start building credit. just dont buy what you shouldn't buy

[cyan lark]

I don't care, financial literacy is so in the toilet it's not like me going on a crusade is gonna change anything 🙂

But I'm not serious at all, no hard feelings.

[fluid ravine]

Spent like $230 on audio equipment for myself
$230 for mouse equipment
$80 on a mouse for my nephew
$60 on a volleyball for my besto friendo

[polar girder]

Oh damn

What new gear?

[fluid ravine]

:D

[polar girder]

I know the sp-004

[cyan lark]

What'd you get for your ears?

[fluid ravine]

wait does mic count as audio equipment

[polar girder]

Yes

You got new mic?

[cyan lark]

Sure, I guess not just ears 🙂

[fluid ravine]

ill list it

[polar girder]

Oh snap

[kind helm]

Nice, I picked up the elgato pro (low profile) arm recently to replace my Rode PS-1. Loving it.

[polar girder]

And moved to XLR

gd

[fluid ravine]

For my nephew and friend:
Volleyball: Mikasa v200w ($60 on amazon)
Mouse for my nephew: Razer Viper V2 Pro ($80)

[fluid ravine]

I mean i've been using xlr for my fifine k688 for a while now lol

i just sold that mic

[polar girder]

Oh gotcha

[fluid ravine]

[polar girder]

For how much?

lol

I think I’m ok with mine

Jc

[fluid ravine]

yeah running the audient evo 4 as my audio interface

[fluid ravine]

yeah it's a great mic, i dont think you need to upgrade at all, i mainly did it for aesthetic

and i love the pod mic anyways so im super happy

i sold mine for $45

[polar girder]

Yeah for sure

[fluid ravine]

with a boom arm

funnily bro had $45 exactly

[polar girder]

Nice lol

Old elgato LP only $60

I feel like the new one is solid upgrade tho

[cyan lark]

Also good on your for getting something nice for your nephew.

[fluid ravine]

yeah i was feeling like snata this year

now im looking forward to buying other friends something

[hearty path]

Which do I get for 60 he+

[cyan lark]

Screw in

[fluid ravine]

im wanting to get a friend a focustrite vocaster one

[fluid ravine]

well imean clip ins are fine as well

[fluid ravine]

choose a color, tkl kit, and 1.6T PCB

[stone flax]

dont get tx pcb mounts

is this for the 80he

or 60he

[fluid ravine]

oh shit

right

i forgot abt the tx ap problem crap

[fluid ravine]

60he+ for them

[hearty path]

60he+

[stone flax]

so why the fuck are we recommending tx my fellas

👅

[fluid ravine]

erm actually!

They asked!

[sacred elm]

get knight v2 smh

[fluid ravine]

Erm actually! I completely forgot about that issue cus I haven't talked about it in a million years

knights v2 on top

yurr

[stone flax]

why doesnt he just

tune the stock stabs

on diddy?

[sacred elm]

because plate mount is dogshit

[fluid ravine]

REAL

[stone flax]

skill issue

plate mounts are ten times easier to tune

mainly cuz u can just pop them out without dissasembling everything

[sacred elm]

im sorry im not as skilled as you mj

[fluid ravine]

me with no lube

major skill issue

[sacred elm]

but the fact is that plate mount is dogshit

[stone flax]

T-T

[sacred elm]

@_@

[polar girder]

My thought exactly

[stone flax]

buy some lube

[polar girder]

Can relate

[stone flax]

buy some grease

👅 get greasy w me

Temporary frog build until venom comes TwT

[kind helm]

nov pre order?

[vocal pasture]

Does anyone know if the Filco Full Size KOBO Frame is compatible with the Wooting Two HE?

[cyan lark]

I wanna post the Frank Reynolds couch gif but don't want to get banned 😧

[little glen]

I assume most likely no but if you want to be certain, go through and compare mounting locations.

You would however still need to get a custom plate for it even if the case fits

[inner wren]

How many o rings do i need for the wooting to burger mount

[kind helm]

you need one gummy oring or a friction pad and do friction mount instead of burger mount

fuck burger mount

[inner wren]

Whats that

@kind helm

[polar girder]

Fk all the cool kids getting venom

FOMO IS REAL

[stone flax]

🤔

[inner wren]

That mouse looks sick holyy

[surreal spire]

I dont know anything about modding but what can i do to make my keyboard sound more heavy if that makes sense

[stone flax]

what case

or

can you buy a case

[kind helm]

https://youtu.be/4bvLyb2HhrU?feature=shared&t=607

[stone flax]

buy a case with a good internal weight

[surreal spire]

where would one shop for said case

[kind helm]

WEIGHT IS YUMMY

[stone flax]

name a budget

[cyan lark]

Chase that dragon

[surreal spire]

idk how much a decent price is but im not broke

i didnt mean that in a asshole way mb

[kind helm]

100 dollar probably tofu redux with brass weight or optimum

[inner wren]

Is the big o ring really that good?

[kind helm]

not much better sound wise imo

but in terms of how easy it is to do

1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000x easier than dog shit burger mount

[polar girder]

1k obsolete

The pain is real

[inner wren]

So i dont need to order anything the module will include the friction thingys with it?

[kind helm]

if they do include that

perfect

[inner wren]

Im pretty sure he said it includes them

Let me check

[stone flax]

name a price before i send over a 600 dollar case

is my point

[kind helm]

600 case?

[high sphinx]

i wish they would sell the the venom pcb in eu so i dont have to pay 100000 euros for shipping

[kind helm]

the owlab one is out? xD

[inner wren]

Im pretty sure it comes either with the plate or either with the keyboard

[stone flax]

theres a $1000 venom build laying around somewhere

[surreal spire]

id spend $150 maybe more if you think it makes a big difference but i dont wanna waste money yk

[stone flax]

@kind helm 👅

[vocal pasture]

@little glen do yk of any cases that will work with the wooting two he

[surreal spire]

https://kbdfans.com/collections/case/products/tofu60-2-0-case?variant=41180113535115 i like the color of this case alot

idk if its good

[kind helm]

tofu60 2.0 can't work with wooting

[polar girder]

Protagonist venom would go hard

[surreal spire]

gotcha

[polar girder]

Man yeah venom opens up so many case options

Dang

[harsh dove]

Okay maybe I'll buy one now

[dense dune]

Does anyone know where I can get some key caps in ansi-de? Don’t won’t to pay over 50€

[harsh dove]

My protag supposed to ship in January

[inner wren]

The tofu60 redux works

[harsh dove]

Yeah just search up Tofu Redux, pretty much the same thing but compatible with Wooting60HE

[surreal spire]

sick sick ty

[inner wren]

[kind helm]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1308938534224138270 my tofu60 redux :3 (please ignore the vape, vape bad. vape hurts. vape is pain.)

[kind helm]

same look only pretty much

the inside is completely different

[surreal spire]

i should add the brass bar right?

[stone flax]

incompatible

just get a venom

👅

[inner wren]

Doesnt change anything

[kind helm]

yes

[inner wren]

Except the weight

[stone flax]

? me when i lie

[kind helm]

no

[inner wren]

What does it change

[stone flax]

sound and feel

[inner wren]

Ive read some things on Reddit

[surreal spire]

no sound difference?

[stone flax]

ahh yes reddit, the cornerstone of info

[kind helm]

it removes the hollowness without relying on foam

[harsh dove]

I've read some things too

[stone flax]

it does

[inner wren]

Yeah so u can fill the empty part with foam?

[surreal spire]

mj sounds like a knowledgeable fellow ill get it

[stone flax]

foam will never hit the same way an internal weight does

[inner wren]

The tax and shipping on the offical website makes it 110 something

[stone flax]

if u say otherwise its cope

[kind helm]

foam filters out sound, weight brings the original sound lower pitch

[harsh dove]

Can confirm the brass weight changes the sound of the Tofu

Whether you hear it or not is not up to me

[inner wren]

Well i dont have money to buy 25 euros expensive plate 😾

[polar girder]

lol wtf

[inner wren]

I just bought it without

[kind helm]

i think with weight instead of foam the sound will be more full in a way :3

[polar girder]

Yeah I did that too

[inner wren]

What does that mean

[polar girder]

Then bought it

[stone flax]

@harsh dove replaced the foam fillers the other day btw

[polar girder]

And put it in

[stone flax]

in one my mechs

[surreal spire]

https://kbdfans.com/products/tofu60-redux-case?variant=41997075972235 opinion on keycaps to match this color?

[polar girder]

Then realized how much of a difference it made

[fluid ravine]

LESSGOO

[harsh dove]

Ahh niceee

[fluid ravine]

[stone flax]

sounds like a hefty boy

[harsh dove]

I bet lol

[stone flax]

neo's are nice, but full alu is sad :<

[surreal spire]

the preview is not the same

[stone flax]

their cu series im excited for

[inner wren]

Why

[polar girder]

Which protag you get? @harsh dove

[stone flax]

big brass or copper internal

[kind helm]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[polar girder]

Cuz it makes a difference LOL

Don’t lie just to cope

[harsh dove]

PC/Copper Sandwich

[polar girder]

It’s still a good case without

But brass weight definitely makes a difference

[kind helm]

same

[polar girder]

Damn son

That’s cold

[stone flax]

for this?

[harsh dove]

Yeah I can't wait

[stone flax]

dandy

@surreal spire

[harsh dove]

Basically Engraved Copper Weight with PC Case and Copper Key Frame

[inner wren]

So will it make a big difference if i use foam or not because i dont like the price of the bar

[polar girder]

Man venom is no good for my wallet if it opens up infinite case options a

[kind helm]

it will

[inner wren]

[kind helm]

not necessarily better, but definitely different

[stone flax]

it does

[inner wren]

Does anyone know a video

[polar girder]

I mean I much preferred it with brass

[inner wren]

Where someone does it with

Foam

[polar girder]

There’s one buried in this channel

[inner wren]

I could compare

[kind helm]

you have the weight recording in that earlier link

this is filled with cotton

[surreal spire]

out of stock on every website ive checked lol

[stone flax]

if u just want some effect from weight but dont want to spend as much, u can opt for a cheaper/less dense option like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085L74KS4?

still just do brass tbh

tho

[inner wren]

Sounds great

[kind helm]

yea it is preference

[inner wren]

And if i do it without that what can i use to fill the empty spot?
I dont want to order anything

[kind helm]

polyfill, cotton, coin, foam, you have many options

[stone flax]

?

[inner wren]

Okay thanks

[inner wren]

Huh

[stone flax]

you do without what

[kind helm]

coin is like the link mj sent, essentially. but the sound you get is not gonna be the same, because material different -> effect different

[inner wren]

My bad sometimes i write and dont think

[inner wren]

Buying one more wont hurt you

[kind helm]

must buy more keyboards, must flex

[uneven cradle]

Pangea mini is tempting

[surreal spire]

might have to add to the setup🐲

[inner wren]

All my parts ordered now we wait 🥸

[stone flax]

pangea mini or 60cu

bowl is cool but holy shit

7-9 months wait

[inner wren]

The reflection says everything

[stone flax]

gb momento

@surreal spire whats ur budget for keycaps again

[uneven cradle]

Yeah who would want to wait that long 👀

[stone flax]

and where are you

[surreal spire]

like $75

usa

[stone flax]

i saw that wait and that settled getting 60cu instead

[inner wren]

For 75 youll have many options

[kind helm]

aliexpress > amazon

[stone flax]

👅

[inner wren]

Whats that

[surreal spire]

amazon has held my packages hostage for too long anything is better than it

[harsh dove]

Yeah pretty much

[uneven cradle]

Key kobo red alert still in stock as well 👀

[stone flax]

is it mounted on leaf springs?

[pseudo flame]

hello im new here is the tape mod really that ineffective as i have read about it?

[inner wren]

It does help with the sound

[pseudo flame]

does it dampen it/make it thockier?

[stone flax]

its preferential

[stone flax]

it may or may not

try it yourself

it can literally do either

[inner wren]

I liked the sound more after doing it

You can also try doing 1-2 layers first

And see how it sounds

[harsh dove]

Yeah it's like a leaf spring plate with grommets

[pseudo flame]

is this kind of tape good?

[inner wren]

Yeah

Painters tape

[pseudo flame]

yes

[inner wren]

Aslong as its not too sticky

Its good

[harsh dove]

here spec sheet

[stone flax]

:0

[vapid oracle]

Hey guys I’m currently about to install the module into my case should I keep this plastic thing in my case or is it useless ?

[high sphinx]

hey guys can i ask u how much u guys paid to import ur venom if u are not from asia ?

[harsh dove]

Is that a silicone pad or just a thin sheet of plastic?

[vapid oracle]

Thin sheet of plastic I guess that’s what the ducky’s have under there old Mecha mini aluminum cases

[kind helm]

i wish they have a neo60, then venom + neo would be fun

[vapid oracle]

I wasn’t sure if I should keep that in there installing the 60HE+ module into it or just leave it

[stone flax]

neo60cu would probably be incompatible

pogo pin connector

[kind helm]

tofu is indeed boring compare to something like those

[stone flax]

unless you can take that out

and route the jst to a udb

also not gh60

so pcb spec might not match

[surreal spire]

finalmouse has to have the worse website in the earth

[vapid oracle]

Should I remove it or keep it ? Its a thin sheet of plastic

[harsh dove]

Pretty sure you're fine to take it out if you want

[vapid oracle]

Will it benefit me having it in there or no?

[harsh dove]

Not that I can think of atm

[vapid oracle]

So basically useless hahaha

[harsh dove]

It'd be like a tape mod that fell off your PCB if anything lol

[kind helm]

s44t didn't know it exists

[harsh dove]

Cause I don't think it's necessarily protecting anything from what I can tell

[kind helm]

[vapid oracle]

Should I just remove it then ?

[inner wren]

Thats a crazy discussion

[harsh dove]

Yeah go ahead, if it breaks I was never here tho

[vapid oracle]

Lmaooooo it easily comes out nothing will break I just want to know if it will effect the way my switches sound

[harsh dove]

Oh nah I don't think it'd have much of an effect on switch sound based on how it's just sorta laying there

if anything is a dust/hair/crumb collector

for when you clean your board

[inner wren]

Why is it so late already

[vapid oracle]

Do I need to install the bottom piece as well?

@harsh dove

[harsh dove]

That solid foam layer?

That's optional

Techincally both of those pieces are optional

both will alter the sound of the board for better or for worse depending on what you're going for

[vapid oracle]

What would you prefer ? Do I need to unscrew things out of the module to install the keypad foam thing ? If so idk if I want to mess with it

[stone flax]

P R E F E R E N C E

[harsh dove]

The Module comes pre-installed with a silicone pad, which is what I prefer more often than not but it's all preference , test out different configs and see what you like or don't like

I'm not really a foam enjoyer but it has it's place

[vapid oracle]

Okay so the foam that I have in my case rn is fine and then just put the module in?

[sacred elm]

yes

[vapid oracle]

Okay let’s see how this goes

Do I need to rotate my switch to the left for my enter key for 60% keyboards ?

[sacred elm]

is it iso

[vapid oracle]

How do I know

[sacred elm]

no

[vapid oracle]

The placements for the screws all don’t fully allign is it cause of the foam pad ?

[sacred elm]

it should be north facing for enter

[harsh dove]

ISO

[harsh dove]

thats ANSI

[vapid oracle]

Okay so just install all of them normally

[sacred elm]

yes

[harsh dove]

Yeah north or south facing doesn't matter, although south facing will affect RGB

but South Facing Supremacy

[vapid oracle]

Yo so I installed the module into my keyboard with the foam pad on the bottom and I don’t think it’s gonna work cause some screws aren’t aligned and my usb-c isn’t aligned either I think it’s to high up

[sacred elm]

just use wooting foam

dont you have it

[vapid oracle]

Yes I do but my usb-c isn’t fully aligned

[deft sun]

I currently have a wooting 60HE. I've ordered Optimum case and soon to order the keycaps and keycaps.

But, since I have the original wooting 60HE, do I HAVE to order the 60HE+ module (https://wooting.io/wooting-60he-module) if I want new keycaps, or would the keyboard I have just fit in perfectly?

[sacred elm]

no need to order 60he+ lol

[deft sun]

Ah so I do need to also order the module

[sacred elm]

the only difference is that 60he+ is compatible with screw in stabilizers

[sacred elm]

if you already have 60he no

[vapid oracle]

Yo I use the same screws that was mounting the other module for my ducky to mount the new one right ?

[deft sun]

Thank you

[harsh dove]

You should be able to mount the pcb with the same screws yes

[vapid oracle]

Im having troubles. The holes aren’t lining up correctly to my case holes so I’m not able to screw it down

[harsh dove]

is this the foam that came with that case or no?

[vapid oracle]

I’m using the foam that came with the wooting module

Should I try it without it ?

[harsh dove]

Does the foam seem like it fits into the case properly or is it too big and sorta climbing up the sides?

[harsh dove]

it almost looks too big for the case or just needs to be pressed down more unless you already tried that

[vapid oracle]

I’d say it’s not to bad

[harsh dove]

Yeah does seem fine

I guess try without and see

[harsh dove]

Can you shift the module up ?

[sacred elm]

wait why is it like that 💀

[harsh dove]

or does it not wiggle at all?

[vapid oracle]

Wiggles a little

I tried putting it up no luck

[harsh dove]

Tbf I only use these two screws when tray mounting

Some may call me crazy, I think it helps with sound

[sacred elm]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-dog-suspicious-look-suspicious-doubt-dog-doubt-gif-23680990

I got actually W shipping

did you get them directly from gateron?

ah bet, it's been like 13 days and mine still haven't arrived

[tropic urchin]

not bad not bad

[reef oar]

actual eon long shipping

[tropic urchin]

mine were 10-11 days for my gateron orders

is it still roughly on the way? might just be a victim of christmas shipping

[reef oar]

ig uk just sucks

[tropic urchin]

oh

rip

[sick shard]

Ah the never ending fight between the clackocrats and the thockpublican

[reef oar]

might order an fr4 plate lowkey

[tropic urchin]

FR4 kinda nice if you want a balance

I’ll have to try mine in a couple weeks

[reef oar]

i do like the pc plate

but it's not like it's an expensive upgrade

[tropic urchin]

Most plates aren’t going to be expensive until you get to CF/metal then it starts to go up a bit

[sacred elm]

fr4 is dirt cheap

[tropic urchin]

All depends on what sound profile you want and if you like softer plates or not

Or if you have absurd import fees

[kind helm]

alu plate can be 10 dollars if you buy from cn

cn #1

[tropic urchin]

If you’re 60HE sure

[sacred elm]

no alu plate for 80he smh

[tropic urchin]

Not entirely relevant

[sacred elm]

but kbd might make one

[harsh dove]

Alu and no case foam or sandwich pads

[vapid oracle]

[tropic urchin]

Id be actually low key down to try

[harsh dove]

It's a journey I've been on for awhile with HE and Alu plates

[tropic urchin]

I'll try no foam for FR4 plate when I decide to swap for science

[sacred elm]

yummy yummy

[tropic urchin]

so far i've liked CF clack, id be down to try alu and even brass

[stone flax]

why are people saying fr4

[tropic urchin]

if anyone does an alu plate

[stone flax]

worst material on the planet

Type shyt

[sacred elm]

skill issue

[harsh dove]

FR4 has an acquired taste

like wine

[tropic urchin]

but PP on top @_@

[sacred elm]

[harsh dove]

Alu on top for me

[tropic urchin]

need that Benom for my Looting 60HE

[sacred elm]

cam do you have fr4+jade pro sound test? 👀

geonworks benom

[harsh dove]

Nah I think I only have like one sound test with my FR4 plate and I think it sucks iirc lol

[stone flax]

🧠

[sacred elm]

lol, okay

[harsh dove]

not that the plate sucks, just the sound tests

[stone flax]

the plate sucks TwT

[harsh dove]

ah yeah I found some old messages, I said FR4 is great in the Tofu lol

caught myself in 4k

I should go delete those messages

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/wyaking-gif-9712475764034023502

[ionic raven]

[fluid ravine]

that will polyfill may be my go to

[harsh dove]

Yeah, I just feel like when tray mounting, using less screws is better cause you're not creating as many dead spots where it's screwed in

and imo it's not like you're throwing your keyboard around or flipping it upside down so the use of less screws doesn't really affect it's secureness within the case

[calm pulsar]

I guess it also depends on the quality of the plate or its implementation

cause I like the geon fr4 plate in the frog

also the geon alu vs cafege alu sound a bit different

I think the tolerances on the switch slots also matter

cause they might make a switch tighter/looser

[polar girder]

LOL

Bro wants all the clack

[polar girder]

Yo does venom have mod tap or equivalent ?

[calm pulsar]

yes

I configured the same binds I had on wooting

like arrow keys, tab + number for f row keys etc

[polar girder]

Man oh man

Any downside then?

Or trade offs

From Wooting

[uneven cradle]

Yeah a lot of variance even between plates of the same material

But PP plate is best

[harsh dove]

Concrete Plate

[calm pulsar]

I ran into the switches being too sensitive in some cases, but it also happened to me on wooting, so I had to lower the actuation by 0.05mm

[harsh dove]

Yeah I was talking about this earlier, I have a POM plate where the switches basically just fall out lol or come out when I pull on a keycap they come with the keycap

[calm pulsar]

yeah I think I also had that when I used plastic plates lol

a pom one from keyboard fun store

[harsh dove]

Yeah I ended up getting another POM plate that had better tolerances

[calm pulsar]

damn all this talk about pp in this chat

makes me want to try it as well
