;PP

[harsh dove]

Good work sir

Lookin good

[vapid oracle]

Thank you first time building my own keyboard wasn’t bad at all

[harsh dove]

hold on, what is that cable

[vapid oracle]

What cable ?

[harsh dove]

Yeah the white one for your keeb

[vapid oracle]

USB-C cable from my old ducky one 3

[harsh dove]

Oh okay

[vapid oracle]

Will that affect the rapid trigger stuff ?

[harsh dove]

Thought it was like an iPhone charger or sumn

[harsh dove]

as long as it works with tachyon mode (if you use it) then should be fine

[vapid oracle]

I currently have it on

And it saved does that mean it works ?

[harsh dove]

If you're not having any input or RGB issues then should be all good

[vapid oracle]

What is the best actuation point??

[harsh dove]

Just preference

[polar girder]

Oh really? Curious

[calm pulsar]

I might've also forgot to change the switch in the software at that time

cause you can do that in venom software

[fallen pecan]

https://streamable.com/fuxvwr

ow x wooting ~$350 includes foams and cf plate

[candid cloud]

I'm downloading the Chinese language pack so I can have captions

[vapid oracle]

What keys should have actuation points ?

[fallen pecan]

wasd usually, you mean custom AP right?

[vapid oracle]

Yep

And rapid trigger I have wasd as well

[fallen pecan]

wasd and maybe shift and space

ive seen people up the AP on their space to prevent fat fingering

[harsh dove]

might have to get one of those cases just cause that video is so good

[vapid oracle]

Okay wasd for rapid trigger fine or just a and d ?

[fallen pecan]

i have RT just on WASD

[vapid oracle]

Is there a reason when I save settings for custom ap and rapid triggers for certain keys and I save it. Close it. Open it up again and it says no keys are enabled is this a glitch ?

[fallen pecan]

did you click on the keys?

[vapid oracle]

Yes I did is it cause I have tachyon mode on?

[fallen pecan]

you're not on the web driver?

[vapid oracle]

I’m on the software that I downloaded

[fallen pecan]

try this on chrome: https://v5.wootility.io/

[vapid oracle]

Does having tachyon mode worth it ?

[fallen pecan]

hope one for the 80 is in the works, i really dig the spring case system

[fallen pecan]

no battery to drain, turn it on if you want max performance or dont care for rgb effects

[reef oar]

you don't sacrifice anything, so there's no worth to be debated

just switch it on for your gaming profiles

[vapid oracle]

so have it on basically? hahahaah so do i need to have rapid trigger on if tachyon mode is on??

[reef oar]

no

tachyon just basically lowers the latency

by like

1ms (if that)

probably less

i doubt anyone can tell the difference, but theoretically it still does actually have an effect

so may as well turn it on

i have it off on my typing profile but on for my fps

[fallen pecan]

RT is the one of the 2 reasons to get a HE board, 2nd reason is custom AP

[vapid oracle]

okay so i just refreshed the website after saving all my settings nothing saved?

my cu[stom AP and rapid trigger says 0 keys currently confused

[fallen pecan]

i dont remember if the v5 needs to save the settings

[reef oar]

click on the keys

you can change the actuation point of each key

so for example, press wasd on the on screen keyboard in wootility and you can lower the actuation point for those 4 keys

[vapid oracle]

Yes I did that saved it but when I reload the page it says nothing has changed

[reef oar]

did you create a custom profile?

you don't need to reload the page

pretty sure there's a save changes button after you make a change anyway

just press that

[vapid oracle]

yep i did that imma just play see how it feels

[ionic breach]

0 keys refers to the keys selected

not how many has rapid trigger on

they low key should remove the number of keys selected text

[charred moon]

Any japanese nice iso de keycaps?

[harsh dove]

Pretty much the main reason I'm interested is that system

[kind helm]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Mf6AYaEiX/

looking at the comment apparently~~ it got leaked and some people can already grab it??? ~~ nvm preorders. it costs like 3k to 5k yuan which is like 500 to 800400 to 700 usd (i cant do math or read)

not really impressed by the sound

[marsh saffron]

Wtf

500-800 is wild

[dry obsidian]

😭😭😭😭

That’s absurd

[uneven cradle]

That's more like $400 to $700 but yes not cheap

But none of owlabs stuff has been cheap so not suprising

[rigid anchor]

do u have any news/knowledge of it coming to like NA?

[uneven cradle]

I do not, other then there are plans to bring to the Wooting store at some point

[rigid anchor]

ok so there are plans

potential plans*

honestly good enough for me

[uneven cradle]

From what has been said it will be a pretty limited release just not sure how limited

[rigid anchor]

$411 case?

[fallen pecan]

350usd converted according to the reviewer

[rigid anchor]

oh thats not even that bad

includes plate though?

is that a CF plate or nah

[fallen pecan]

yes cf

[rigid anchor]

cause i dont need module i have my own

but the cf plate + case would be nice

[fallen pecan]

watch this

[rigid anchor]

alongside the switches

[rigid anchor]

oh thats fire

ok yea i see it now

thats pretty cool

[tawdry tree]

My guess is that it’s there to protect the PCB from the flip-out feet screws which could potentially come loose with use. As long as you have something to replace it (like foam) I wouldn’t worry about it.

[vapid oracle]

Makes sense. I ended up using the foam that wooting provided me and it worked out perfectly

[harsh dove]

I mean it's cool but idk if I wanna spend that much on another 60he case, esp one that I don't particularly want besides just the cool case spring system

If it was closer to $200 I'd think about it more

Considering I have 7, 60he compatible cases already lol

[high sphinx]

Hey guys for the venom 60he do i need something else besides this ? I have keycaps, stabilizers and switches

[harsh dove]

I think you need a screw kit for the plates, no?

[tawdry tree]

Cable, not sure if that foam is compatible.

[harsh dove]

and yeah idk about that foam

[high sphinx]

Nah the plates come with screws

[tawdry tree]

The PCB comes with standoffs already and the plate incudes screws iirc

[harsh dove]

Ah nice

cool cool

[high sphinx]

I have usb c cable from wooting

[harsh dove]

Then should be good

you have tools?

[tawdry tree]

and lube for stabs ^

[high sphinx]

A screwdriver do u need something else ?

[harsh dove]

and lube for stabilizers?

[high sphinx]

I have that

[harsh dove]

kk

[tawdry tree]

then you’re good

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/its-gucci-its-cool-its-good-gucci-all-good-gif-13896442

[high sphinx]

Yeah but what about the foam tho ?

Not sure if that one is compatible

[tawdry tree]

you can get it, the standoffs may not match up but you can cut them out yourself

np

[high sphinx]

Ok ty the thing is i live in eu and i hope i dont have to pay dhl exrpess 1000 euros

I saw sending costs were 90 dollars

[tawdry tree]

where is ktech located?

never heard of it

[high sphinx]

Singapore

China

Yeah but i know i once ordered geon raws from geon and the sending costs were 30 euros but dhl charged me 30 extra

[tawdry tree]

If you’re not in a hurry, you could wait for DeltaKey to stock the Venom60 and get the Tofu from maxgaming.

[high sphinx]

Yeah but who says deltakey is ever gonna stock that ?

[tawdry tree]

That’s odd

[high sphinx]

Yeah it said for douane etc

[tawdry tree]

The guy from DeltaKey iirc

lemme check

[tawdry tree]

Oh, yeah just import

but $30 is a lot

for just Raws

You’ll pay a lot in import if you order that too btw

[high sphinx]

Yup indeed so when i order from this keytech site i dont wanna pay like 200 extra euros just to build a venom if it is like 30 again sure why not

[tawdry tree]

where r u from?

[high sphinx]

Belgium

[placid kraken]

Anyone got black/white recommendations for keycaps

For 60he+

[harsh dove]

like Black on White?

[placid kraken]

Any combo of black and white

Or just plain coloured

[high sphinx]

I saw the build i wanna do is 320 euros but if dhl fucks me with extra 100 euros for douane etc .. i am telling you if it is just 30 euros again i dont mind then i order the venom but i am scared for dhl expenses

[harsh dove]

https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-lyla

[tawdry tree]

From a quick search it looks like you’ll have to pay 21% of the total cost (excluding shipping costs) and on top of that another 3% or so which is import duties. I❤️🇪🇺

[calm pulsar]

lol that's actually a great price, considering you get a plastic tray for keycaps

[tawdry tree]

Not cheap..

[high sphinx]

Indeed not cheap and can you find somewhere that the guy from deltakey would restock ? Otherwise i might wait

[harsh dove]

I know right

[calm pulsar]

The main material of the keycaps is PBT, but we have incorporated "glass microspheres" into the design. Unlike conventional PBT, this unique blend produces a clearer, crisper sound, giving it a Hi-Fi quality.

[harsh dove]

Can't wait for my GMK Cosmos tho

[vapid oracle]

These look decent

[harsh dove]

Yeah I saw that

Made me wanna try em

[calm pulsar]

yeah im so looking forward to see what it looks like irl, might go nicely with my blackout luminkey lx60 down the line

[tawdry tree]

“Probably” so not 100% certain yet but it’ll be soon.

I’d wait for Delta

[vapid oracle]

Venom better then wooting? What’s the difference ?

[tawdry tree]

instead of spending a whole lot on import

[high sphinx]

Ty my friend i am just happy that they will come

[tawdry tree]

Latency, yes. Accuracy, yes. Features, no, not yet.

[high sphinx]

I does not have to be january in february would also be good idc i am already happy it comes

[tawdry tree]

You’re welcome man!

[chilly mural]

but no rgb

[tawdry tree]

Trueeeeee

[calm pulsar]

it offers a unique to HE layout, faster performance (for the time being), but no rgb

[tawdry tree]

No RGB which means that the Venom is actually the slowest and worst HE board out there!

[high sphinx]

Do you know if the plates will also be available probably right ?

[calm pulsar]

yeah my fps tanked when I was on venom

[tawdry tree]

For sure, what’s a HE PCB without a plate?

😂

[vapid oracle]

Hmhmmmm I still like my wooting

[calm pulsar]

there's no big need to switch, but I really liked the 7u layout

which is why I tried it

[high sphinx]

Yeah undeed i appreciate ur help man my gmk keycaps are gonna come in januari probably so nice time to order the venom then

[vapid oracle]

Did you like it ?

[calm pulsar]

functionality wise it has the same things like socd, mod tap, and deadzone adjustment even

yup

[sacred elm]

better latency by a whole 0.05ms

shocking

[tawdry tree]

You should check if maxgaming has the Tofu color you wanted, I’m not sure about that.

[chilly mural]

uwu, tsangan. Hopefully I can get used to right alt being like that since I use it quite a lot for rhythm game

[high sphinx]

Yeah orherwise i just pick other color

[calm pulsar]

I use alt+numbers in wow and this alt is actually a bit nicer

[chilly mural]

If I like tsangan, I'll order venom60 with tsangan

[tawdry tree]

I despise 6.25 and 7U equally. Split shift and backspace is what would make me choose 7U.

[tawdry tree]

The wine color is pretty cool

[calm pulsar]

you can split or not split the backspace, which is cool
but not the right shift though

[high sphinx]

Yeah i wanted that cause i ordered gmk evil dolch the split if u know that set i think it would look amazing

[vapid oracle]

So basically the same not noticeable lmao

[sacred elm]

not the same for nerds

but its the same yes

[calm pulsar]

the rapid trigger is snappier due to way lower deadzone

[tawdry tree]

Rakka has Venom beat in that aspect, so much support and the upcoming Rakka will support even more.

[calm pulsar]

ohh nice I might get it some day then, just not sure if it has proper gummy cutouts like on venom

[tawdry tree]

Hmm, difficult to say.

[vapid oracle]

Is it even noticeable? I feel like you can barely notice the difference tbh

[tawdry tree]

It’ll either be sick af or slightly off

[glacial wind]

The difference is basically 0.1 vs 0.15 rt if you’re using max stability switches

[chilly mural]

mmm, one thing I want is split space bar

[high sphinx]

Yeah but i would risk it 🙂

[tawdry tree]

I think so. It should release early next year.

[vapid oracle]

Hmmmm yeah so basically the same lmao

[calm pulsar]

for spamming it is slightly noticeable, but again I dont think theres many games that require such speed, most of them have some kind of inertia

it's just there is adjustable deadzone on venom, which is not a thing on wooting currently I believe

[sacred elm]

Currently yes

[glacial wind]

it’s up to you how much you value the 0.05 rt for now. Both can have deadzone reduced to almost nothing if using the right switches (box stem stable magnet switches)

[vapid oracle]

I can see a update from wooting to add dead zones

[glacial wind]

Wooting works on automatic deadzone

[tawdry tree]

They should’ve a long time ago.

[glacial wind]

they don’t offer the deadzone adjustment on purpose

[uneven cradle]

Also no DKS or Gamepad features

[calm pulsar]

true

[glacial wind]

It’s how we found out about the auto calibrating deadzone - because I asked Simon if he’d add a deadzone adjustment in the future

[vapid oracle]

So wooting the overall best choice when it comes to the software it sounds like..

[sacred elm]

at first they need to release proper switches, actual v2 lekkers

current ones are so dogwater for stability

[glacial wind]

Tldr is wooting is already auto adjusting the deadzone so they have no intention to add a deadzone setting at least for now

[tawdry tree]

Don’t think it’s on purpose. Both top and bottom dead zone adjustability would be beneficial.

[calm pulsar]

software is more user friendly on wooting, always has been

[glacial wind]

I literally asked him

[vapid oracle]

I love my jade pros feels like quality switches never felt anything so smooth

[glacial wind]

It’s on purpose for now because it’s automatic

[tawdry tree]

TTC KoM’s bounce for top out - silicone travel limiters for bottom out.

[glacial wind]

Wooting software basically decides what the min deadzone it thinks is safe to use and sets that

[tawdry tree]

If it’s on purpose, it’s short sighted as it has been suggested many times now.

[glacial wind]

No if

[sacred elm]

understandable, nerds want more numbers in a software

[glacial wind]

It’s on purpose. Period.

[opal carbon]

Sorry to interrupt. any wooting compatible switches that feel like kailh box jades? ( Sound is not withstanding )

[tawdry tree]

Then it’s short sighted.

[tawdry tree]

^

[glacial wind]

I mean end of the day you can get 0 deadzone if you care about it

Just use ttc kom/gateron gaming type switches

[little glen]

To my knowledge there is no after market cases confirmed to work with two he

[vapid oracle]

Jade pros

[glacial wind]

Their measured deadzone was 0.03 vs lekkers at 0.15 or so

[calm pulsar]

jade knights

[glacial wind]

I’m more looking forward to the 0.1 RT update because then wooting will officially be same rough value as venom performance

the latency is essentially the same already when comparing venom tkl vs wooting (comparing vs 60% shouldn’t be done to begin with)

[tawdry tree]

would still be behind on latency for the 60HE but yeah

[glacial wind]

So right now where it’s losing to venom is the 0.1 vs 0.15 rt

[tawdry tree]

and Venom to Woot in terms of features.

[glacial wind]

Like at this stage no one should talk latency regardless between any of the top boards because people mistakenly think it’s something that matters when we say latency of one is better

we’re talking about latency differences of 0.0001 seconds in some cases lol

[tawdry tree]

If it’s noticeable is different from if it matters.

I think it matters

[glacial wind]

you can think what you want but realistically the people asking don’t realize these are the values we’re talking about

[vapid oracle]

The difference is so little …

[glacial wind]

When we say one board has better latency they think we mean like 20ms or something

Not 0.01 ms lol

[tawdry tree]

Bragging rights 👀

[cyan lark]

Frankly I don't think a lot of folks care. They want the bigger or smaller number, whichever is superior.

[vapid oracle]

Did wooting come before venom or vise versa?

[cyan lark]

At least that's what I've observed

[sacred elm]

im still thinking what did you mean by "accuracy is better" aligner

[glacial wind]

Yeah a lot of folks don’t know what the numbers even mean

[sacred elm]

[tawdry tree]

Less latency is less latency. Even if it’s insignificant in daily use.

[glacial wind]

Yeah I’m not arguing with you there

[tawdry tree]

Woot far before Venom.

[glacial wind]

I’m saying it’s pointless to talk about for people actually asking in most cases

[vapid oracle]

Copy cats 😏

[tawdry tree]

It’s not really fair to compare the features of the Venom to Woot as Woot had 4 years to come up with them.

[tawdry tree]

Every HE board is a Wooting clone, real.

[cyan lark]

That isn't quite how product comparison works, though.

[calm pulsar]

there's tens of HE boards now, if not hundreds 😄

[tawdry tree]

Yeah ik

[sacred elm]

when did geon release venom and how long are they tweaking its firmware?

[glacial wind]

Like a month or two ago go tkl?

[pine bluff]

i dont think wooting was the first he keyboard

[tawdry tree]

Correct, they were the first with RT though.

It’s still so funny to me how Steelseries could’ve had what Woot has

but they just went to sleep

[sacred elm]

talking about latency is so dumb when there is almost 0 difference, but lets not forget that eyejoker tested 80he with alpha firmware

[glacial wind]

At this stage within a margin of error it's fare to just say all the top boards are basically equal in latency when talking about actual differences between them

[high sphinx]

Wooting also said in their livestreams a few times tvat they are working on something big a new gamechanger but they did not say what it is inly that it has been in development for a ling time i am curious what that is gonna be

[glacial wind]

like i'm not going to recommend a venom or wooting over a melgeek or any other top performer due to the 0.05ms difference and no one really should lol

you recommend it due to actual tangible factors

[ionic breach]

oh shit stream is today?

[sacred elm]

yes

[ionic breach]

🎉 time to lock in

[tawdry tree]

I genuinely believe, for most people that chase “The Fastest” that knowing they have the fastest, lowest latency board the world has to offer gives them peace of mind or something.

Even if they’d never notice it.

[chilly mural]

in 6 hours!!!

[ionic breach]

gotta need that wootlogy

[sacred elm]

[glacial wind]

let's be real. The real answer is a lot of people chasing the fastest are just kids who don't know better

[cyan lark]

Sure, that's just describing the placebo effect. You could tell them any of the boards is the fastest and they'd never know.

[vapid oracle]

[pine bluff]

are they ever gonna release a new wootabase or make it not feel so outdated

[calm pulsar]

an argument could be made to not need HE at all then, but it is true 😄

[cyan lark]

I like audio stuff and you know folks have gone off the deep end when they start arguing the qualities of cables

Same thing IMO

[glacial wind]

well for he vs non he the difference is so tangible because it's like 20-100ms difference at times

[chilly mural]

chord split matters!!! (Don't mind the fact that most chart that has constant 6 note chord also using timing window where using 1khz is still fine)

[tawdry tree]

If you had a mech board/switch that actuated at 0.1mm, it’d be the same

would be a pain to use though 😂

[glacial wind]

well it'd be impossible

since a mech board can't have both 0.1 mm and 0.1mm release

[calm pulsar]

I will be doing an mx build with 0.8mm actuation and 3.0mm travel

[pine bluff]

are they ever gonna release a new wootabase or make it not feel so outdated

[glacial wind]

unless your switch itself is only 0.1mm travel it's impossible to have a 0.1 actuation and 0.1 rt on mech

[calm pulsar]

yeah mx still will be missing rapid trigger at any point on the switch travel

[tawdry tree]

mouse switch boards 🥸

[cyan lark]

New idea: capacitive keyboard. 0mm travel 🧠

[glacial wind]

you mean the macro stuff? Don't think wooting actively is doing anything there

or are you talking about something else

[pine bluff]

the profile sharing thing

[cyan lark]

https://profiles.wooting.io/

[glacial wind]

oh that

i don't think i've ever imported a profile myself so not my area of knowledge lol

[pine bluff]

wait hows it unofficial if its under the wooting domain

[glacial wind]

always made much more sense to me to make your own profile

[pine bluff]

would be cool if they updated it

[tawdry tree]

official unofficial

[cyan lark]

It's the official unofficial

[tawdry tree]

last updated 2022

[sacred elm]

@pine bluff #🌈│wootabase_profiles

[ionic breach]

the guy who made it is now working in wooting

[sacred elm]

just search here

[pine bluff]

to work well with 80he and 60he

[pine bluff]

?

oh ik

i was just wondering if their gonna add proper support for 60he and 80he and maybe uwu

cuz rn u just import a wooting 2 and it cuts off the keys

[ionic breach]

80he most likely

[tawdry tree]

They’ll probably get around to it at some point. It could also be that they forgot. Make a post in #1141096226884956181 perhaps?

[ionic breach]

ya ofc, how else will it copy?

[pine bluff]

i mean like it would be cool if they supported different layouts on the website, not just wooting 2. and also all the new features

[ionic breach]

they just look like 100%

the profiles uploaded can be all 3

this guy uploaded a 60% for example

[pine bluff]

i mean it works fine but it would be cool if they updated

also 80he is a litl different

and the new features

[ionic breach]

yea

[pine bluff]

it doesnt support key remapping i dont think and i know for a fact it doesnt have the controller mapping and actuation graph thyingy

also wootility v5

[glacial wind]

oh new coffeezilla cs valve video

excellent

[vapid oracle]

Should I have added the cutout keypad foam pad ? Or just the regular foam pad was fine? What’s the difference???

[glacial wind]

lmao badseed just straight up called pwnage an awful company in his video i see

good for him. Too many reviewers too scared to point out the shittiness of some companies because it means they don't get access to their free gear to review

[glacial wind]

huh for what keyboard?

[vapid oracle]

60HE+

[glacial wind]

what do you mean by cutout foam pad vs regular foam pad?

you just get the standard foam or silicone pad (or friction fit pad if you have optimum)

[chilly mural]

At this point some reviewer feels like a disguised advertisement

[glacial wind]

it's not even disguised, it literally is advertising

like 9/10 reviewers in the peripheral space these days are small channel who get 0-10k views average per video who will give a stamp of approval to anything sent to them

it's all budgeted into every peripheral launch now that you send all of these reviewers a free mouse/keyboard and they'll put out a review saying it's pretty cool

[vapid oracle]

It’s the foam that is cut out like the keyboard and the regular foam pad that is on the bottom of the module. I just used the foam pad and didn’t add the cut out, was that a mistake or not what’s the difference if I added that as well?

[glacial wind]

the cut out is supposed to be there yes, unless you used the silicone instead

iirc the module comes with both doesn't it?

you pick between foam vs. silicone sandwich pad

[vapid oracle]

It wasn’t pre installed it came separately the cut out keyboard foam looking one

[glacial wind]

oh that's the spare poron foam pad

[glacial wind]

you don't need to use it unless you want to swap the silicone with it

your module comes pre installed with silicone pad already

[vapid oracle]

Oh gotchu what’s the difference then ?

I did the silicone

[glacial wind]

just slightly different sound

not anything major honestly

[vapid oracle]

Okay I thought it was a lot of work to unscrew shit so it was easier just to slap the module in right away

[glacial wind]

yeah no need to swap anything out there unless you just wanted to try out foam instead

[flat cobalt]

Now I can be like Mr Geon himself

[glacial wind]

the nanch set is pretty nice

[flat cobalt]

The little box to throw screws in is a pretty nice touch

Surprised it doesn’t come with a magnetizer

[velvet raft]

Should I friction mount on my tofu60?

Not entirely sure what difference it makes but it seems like people recommend it pretty frequently

[glacial wind]

i mean it's up to you

do you want to friction mount your board is the bigger question

@fallen pecan what was the china launch price for that a75 master keyboard?

[fallen pecan]

first 1000 is 1699rmb, after that 1899

[glacial wind]

okay good i wasn't crazy then

i saw the new 'he recommendation list' from everyones favourite drunkdeer schill and was thinking "I swear the a75 master just came out, has barely any actual reviews and is over $200"

lol

[fallen pecan]

kbdfans is selling the mm board as well, fastest on the market but the software is ass

ive only seen like 3 reviews of the master, and it only goes on sale on the 31st

a bit early to be recommending an unreleased, untested board

[glacial wind]

yeah i figured. That list is made by a drunkdeer employee so it makes sense lol

[fallen pecan]

bro said he got job offers elsewhere

[glacial wind]

oh, some other companies offered to employ him illegally like drunkdeer for sub minimum wage?

[fallen pecan]

he mentioned it in passing in the melgeek discord

[glacial wind]

I don't even know why anyone would want to be so loyal to a company that barely takes any of your feedback and doesn't even pay you legally

whole situation has always been bizarre to me

[stone flax]

u do this for free with wooting 👅

[glacial wind]

go back to your private chat with him to complain more

[stone flax]

[glacial wind]

getting paid illegally to promote a company you know sucks isn't a positive in the column

[gaunt plume]

M6Lite+ with KBDfans
＄180？#💬│general message
https://kbdfans.com/collections/new-arrival/products/mm-gaming-keyboard-kit

[glacial wind]

yeah that's what jabberwock was talking about earlier

is it really starting price 180.55?

that seems way too high for it to ever get traction over other options

[chilly mural]

180 is soo much~

[glacial wind]

feels like once you enter that price range then the software you offer better be wooting or venom level

[chilly mural]

if it's like $140-150 range, could still be okay

[gaunt plume]

Yes, I heard that MM gaming's software is difficult to use.

[chilly mural]

Price might still be WIP. Spec wise, isn't really that much better compared to venom60he. Their 'beast' mode is only useful for fps and if Geon implement like 10 key specific focus mode it'll be whole of a lot better since you're not limited to R2 and R3 only getting the speed.

[glacial wind]

i mean, only crazy people are buying for ms gains in the 8k category anyway

venom is already like 0.16-0.2ms lol

it's going to be interesting to see if this gets a 2nd round, because I can't see it being all that popular vs current options

[gaunt plume]

MM studio M6Lite+ should be one of the best in terms of input accuracy and latency.

[glacial wind]

that chart is a load of bs

look at the values being measured and how it actually relates

it's just pointlessly trying to find ways to rank certain boards for factors which don't matter

[chilly mural]

I don't understand this chart. Does this mean Mad is better than wooting?

[glacial wind]

that's literally a mad60 in the middle ranking of their chart - the board known to have high amount of accuracy issues

[glacial wind]

it's cause they're measuring with a weird system that isn't measuring actual usage stuff

the same way deadzone charts are a load of bs in actually understanding deadzone and keyboard actuation

[fallen pecan]

Heres the a75master chart

Shit lemme rotate my screen

[glacial wind]

at this stage I fully expect chinese reviewers to start measuring the atomic radiation of keyboards and trying to rank their keyboards based on it instead of actual useful stats and testing

[fallen pecan]

i like how wooting is just gone from the chart

[chilly mural]

yeah, I was confused why there's no wooting

[fallen pecan]

lemme just exclude the gold standard from my testing

[glacial wind]

there's no way wooting will be on the chart with lekker v2, i'd assume it adds too much variance to rank on whatever system they're using

[fallen pecan]

the 80he was on the previous chart

just not the a75 master one

[glacial wind]

that is odd that they removed it then

although not that it matters since wooting definitely wasn't ranking high in the possum to beaver ratio rankings

i'd love for some chinese reviewer to just make a chart and in chinese it's actually measuring how easy the keyboard is for their cat to use

then spread it to a few discords and watch people spread it thinking it's some useful data

[stone flax]

all this yap

venom better

[stone flax]

propagandization

[gaunt plume]

It is not a good idea to assume.
But I also do not believe that all of these measurements are correct😉

[stone flax]

hell naw brother

bold tkl he on top ☠️

[tawdry tree]

Nearly all reviewers do not know or understand how to test a HE board’s latency properly. In many latency tests, HM66/80 (0.01mm) scored higher than Wooting (0.1mm) did because of idiotic solenoid testing. Now we do have actual board latency tests which show that HM’s latency isn’t that great, even compared to the 60HE.

solenoid testing would still offer valuable insight when combined with a board latency tester like the one above.

but absolutely not by itself.

[fallen pecan]

ive seen wooting's test rig on the show floors

xlat + solenoid

[quiet gale]

Are there any alu /brass /... Wooting two he cases?

[fallen pecan]

hard pressed to find ANY wooting two cases

[fallen pecan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zzy5nLEz34

[quiet gale]

So just i just get cad files and sell my kidney to get a company to make it?

[fallen pecan]

pretty much

[tender arrow]

Can I upgrade my 60he to 60he+ if I got the switches is it the the same board or not

[fallen pecan]

not that different between them

[tender arrow]

So it's just the switches upgrade

[tawdry tree]

It’s “end to end” latency largely influenced by something that’s more preference. It’s bad testing the way Woot had it set up IMO. It’s fine to test a single board like that but not to make comparisons to other boards (even if both boards have the actuation point set the exact same).

[fallen pecan]

and different stab mount style

[sly void]

Do u have full picture include 80he?

[knotty iron]

I managed to snag X-rays while they had extra stock 🙌

Base, 40s, Space, and Artisan!

also got a holy60 PC case with a bottom cover

Before that I ordered the holy60 in black ano, and crosshair keycaps from pbtfans

[sacred elm]

🥶

[charred moon]

i refunded my iso de module for an ansi module you think its worth it?

couldnt really find nice keycaps

[sacred elm]

ansi superior layout

[charred moon]

i used iso de for the past 8 years lmao

[sacred elm]

😳

[charred moon]

lets see if ansi is nicer

[sacred elm]

Yea I hate small shift

[charred moon]

haha

[sacred elm]

otherwise iso is fine

[charred moon]

yeah

but i cantt find keycappsssss

[fallen pecan]

Dareu has a cheaper bow ceramic set for 299 rmb

[warped inlet]

guys gateron jade are still kings or better switch came out?

[sacred elm]

jade pro

raw he

[harsh dove]

ANSI is superior

And easier to get keycaps

And more options

Life with ansi is just better

[charred moon]

thats why i canceld my iso de order

lmao

i got an ansi module now

hopping it gets shipped fast

its on Your order is being prepared to ship to you

is it worth it for the tofu60?

[stone flax]

yea

[charred moon]

okay nice

[glacial wind]

oh the geon lucifer switches close already. Think they'll arrive by tomorrow

[chilly mural]

Yay

Cant wait for sound test

[flat cobalt]

wtf is up with that name lol

Evil Geon switches

[glacial wind]

at least it won't get confused with the 500 other similar named switches like raw he

[harsh dove]

Lmk boss

Need to order some KoMs as well

[glacial wind]

i am curious to see if they feel tighter than the non KoM box switches i've tried so far that didn't feel all that nice

kom been the only one so far that I didn't immediately think "I hate box stems"

[harsh dove]

Interesting

Yeah I haven’t come across any box stems I particularly like so I’d have to agree but I’ve yet to try the KoMs def gonna order some

[polar girder]

Yeah I might just buy KoM and suspend my Venom FOMO for now

Although then KoM on venom doesn’t sound ideal lol

I’m conflicted

I also need hella light switches and jade pro seems too heavy for me

[sacred elm]

[polar girder]

Ikr

Need 35g Jade pro switches

[sacred elm]

why do you need light switches

[stone flax]

NO

:<<<

[visual ore]

Could alway swap springs no?

[chilly mural]

hehe, venom fomo

[tropic urchin]

Buy it buy it buy it buy it

[polar girder]

I need venom?

[polar girder]

Yeah but that’s half the reason to get the jade pros for me lol

I’m tired of cheap light switches

Need hella long hella light springs

[stone flax]

ya

[sacred elm]

no

[vapid oracle]

Jade pros

[stone flax]

those who know : 🤫

[sacred elm]

based

[tropic urchin]

How you liking em 👀

[sacred elm]

geonworks

[stone flax]

geonworks raw he betterr

[tropic urchin]

Who needs geonworks when TTC is king buddy

[sacred elm]

right

[vapid oracle]

Fire probs will not be changing anytime soon

[vapid oracle]

My fav

[sacred elm]

ttc switches are called king of magnetic for a reason 🗣️ 🔥

[vapid oracle]

I came from poopy cherry brown switches 😂☠️

[tropic urchin]

I put my pros on a new CF plate and this shit might as well be TTC loudness

Low key kinda fw it

@sacred elm when your fr4 comin

[gloomy nymph]

Hi, could i ask if anyone have modded the 80HE with other stabilzers? does any PCB mounted stablizers will work?

[sacred elm]

20 days

forget it

[sacred elm]

stock is fine just tune them

[tropic urchin]

I’m gonna do these stand offs first on mine so whenever I do swap I don’t gotta wait

[sacred elm]

no need to buy new

[gloomy nymph]

orite, thanks

[sacred elm]

great idea

[chilly mural]

ttc expensive

[polar girder]

Ok fine

[sacred elm]

do standoffs now and swap tomorrow

🔥

[polar girder]

Yeah then I’ll just sell yet another Wooting lol

[sacred elm]

it was a joke

[chilly mural]

😭

[polar girder]

If I go venom I’d probably just get the lightest RAW’s then

[tropic urchin]

Goated switches

[gloomy nymph]

anyone did spring swaps with HE switches before?

[vapid oracle]

Top 3 switches go

[chilly mural]

soon I'll get to try venom tkl

[polar girder]

Yes

[tropic urchin]

TTC KOM, TTC Uranus esports, TTC RGB

TTC goat

[chilly mural]

TTC POM for clack

HE surprisingly good for clack

[gloomy nymph]

worth to spring swap? cause currently i am using lekkers thinking about getting jades then maybe fully mod them before putting them into 80HE

[sacred elm]

ttc KING OF MAGNETIC 🗣️ 🔥

[tropic urchin]

Just get Jade pros

[gloomy nymph]

like spring swapping and filmming them

[sacred elm]

just get jade pros, theyve goated springs

[polar girder]

What’s the goal?

Filming no

[stone flax]

do not film

[polar girder]

Spring swap could be worth if it changes something for you

[gloomy nymph]

ah dun film okay.

i spring swap cherry red before with slow extreme, the typing feels are pretty nice

[sacred elm]

if you get jades make sure theyre Pro version

regulars are 🤮

[gloomy nymph]

not sure if that would affect the actuations

right jade pros

there is jade, jade pros and jade max right?

[sacred elm]

yes

[gloomy nymph]

best are the pros ?

[sacred elm]

jade gaming, jade silent genty

[sacred elm]

ye, theyre the most smoothest and have very nice sound

[gloomy nymph]

i see i see

maybe i'll look into them. thanks for the reco

cause was about to buy the normal jades

[stone flax]

jade silent genty isnt a switch

[gloomy nymph]

LOL

[stone flax]

geon raw he

[sacred elm]

yea its a dogshit

youre right

not a switch

[stone flax]

? im just calling out you calling it a jade

its not a jade

🤓

[vapid oracle]

Is there a reason why not all the jade pros switches when I press my keys don’t all sound the same and the best I feel like my windows key sounds the best is there a reasoning ? Maybe spacebar sounds fire also

[sacred elm]

🤓 ☝️

[stone flax]

what mouunt

[sacred elm]

tray mount moment

[polar girder]

Should I just hop in next preorder from Geon?

[stone flax]

keyboards by nature sound different depending where u hit them

[gloomy nymph]

you guys ranking would i be jade pros > geon raw > jade?

[stone flax]

i just did taobao

[stone flax]

raws better

👅

[gloomy nymph]

HAHAHA

[sacred elm]

👅

[vapid oracle]

Wdym

[gloomy nymph]

geon raw easier to get as well for me haha

[tropic urchin]

Ye, genty might be ok if you like quiet switches but haven’t seen many ppl try

[stone flax]

what mount on the board

traymounts are uneven

[gloomy nymph]

i like my keyboard with sound haha

[polar girder]

lol I’ve never used taobao

[vapid oracle]

Hmmmm well the only thing I have under the module is foam and it’s screwed down does that answer it?

[polar girder]

I’m down with aliexpress but never used tapbao

[stone flax]

? if its a stock prebuilt

yes its traymount

there

[vapid oracle]

I just bought a module and I used my ducky aluminum case to put it in

[stone flax]

yes its traymount

[vapid oracle]

So how do I fix Thai problem ?

[stone flax]

switch mounts

[gloomy nymph]

for the geon raw vs jade pros, do you guys just use stock? or you guys relube them?

[stone flax]

preference

[tropic urchin]

RAWs prob have the best stock lube job, Jade pros I did some on stem + spring. Both could use some spring lube

[polar girder]

If I buy Raw should I buy ping less springs?

[vapid oracle]

What’s wrong with it ?

[gloomy nymph]

i see thanks

[vapid oracle]

I just built it yesterday there’s no way they are messed up right now?

[tropic urchin]

Jade pros fully lubed sound great

[gloomy nymph]

i see

[tropic urchin]

Won’t go wrong with either one depending on your preferences

[gloomy nymph]

ok thanks for the help~~

[stone flax]

why

[stone flax]

i just said, its uneven and stiff

if u have oil ur pings already get fixed of spring ping issue @polar girder

[vapid oracle]

So how did I fix that problem ?

[vapid oracle]

Okay what about them lmaooooo sorry I’m slow

[polar girder]

For more better sound and feel

[ionic breach]

switch as in the verb

not the noun

[polar girder]

Ok yeah I have hella oil and know how to use it (add more)

[vapid oracle]

What’s my solution bois

[stone flax]

get off traymount

[ionic breach]

up to you

there friction mounts for example

either from 3rd party or from wooting

[vapid oracle]

So remove tray mount ?

Is that the reason why all my switches don’t sound the same ????

[charred moon]

Your order is being prepared to ship to you

how long does it take on average?

[ionic breach]

more than other mounts

ya

[stone flax]

ur switches will always not sound the same, but it will deal with it being especially uneven

[vapid oracle]

Gotcha only solution is removing tray mount ?

[vapid oracle]

Why is uneven tho after I just built it yesterday

[stone flax]

Are you saying it wasnt uneven yesterday

?

[vapid oracle]

No clue just built it yesterday is it cause I screwed the module to tight by chance ? Or did I put my switches incorrectly

[fallen pecan]

no running away from different sounding switches, my Nuphy is pretty much horizontal and the R4 and space row still sounds different from the others

[vapid oracle]

Yoooo

[stiff zealot]

Should i use masking tape or duct tape for tape modding?

[stone flax]

not duct tapee

lul

[agile torrent]

Anybody got the gekko silent switches?

[stiff zealot]

why?

[stone flax]

?

too strong of an adhesive

[stiff zealot]

ohh

[stone flax]

if u wanna break ur pcb potentially then go ahead

[stiff zealot]

should i go 3 layers?

i got some jade pros

[agile torrent]

Jade pros are linear right?

[stiff zealot]

yeah

[cyan lark]

~All HE switches are linear

[agile torrent]

Thank you. New to keyboard modding and all that. Waiting for my 60he to arrive. Got the concrete alumaze case as well.

[cyan lark]

Enjoy!

[agile torrent]

Will the Gecko silent switch work with HE?

[polar girder]

Bro how tf to shop taobao @stone flax

[stiff zealot]

mine will arrive today

[agile torrent]

Looking for something a little bit more quieter

[stiff zealot]

and i also got the concrete alumaze

[agile torrent]

That’s exciting! Got keycaps for it or you looking to keep it stock?

[stiff zealot]

that why i bought the beast x max in gray

[agile torrent]

I got the beast x max in black!

Coming in on Monday for me

[stiff zealot]

i got some wob keycaps

with SA profile

[agile torrent]

Dude that’s what I’m looking at right now lmao

[stiff zealot]

something like this

[agile torrent]

That’s clean. You got the wrist rest with it too?

[stiff zealot]

nope

[agile torrent]

Not sure how it affects game play

[stiff zealot]

I dont like it

[agile torrent]

Got it. I got the delta hub wrist rest I’ve been using with my g pros and they are comfortable. Looking to do the same with the beast x max

[stone flax]

u can do direct or through agent like superbuy

[stiff zealot]

Those are the one I’m using

Some Amazon ahh keycaps

I’ll show you all the keycaps

Lol that’s all

[valid wyvern]

where to buy gateron switches online?

[pine bluff]

gateron.com or wooting sells them too i think

[valid wyvern]

ok because i seen there was two gateron sites, one with .com other one with .co so I wasnt sure which one is the real one

should i go with gateron jade pro for wooting 60?

[tropic urchin]

Gateron.com, Amazon, Aliexpress are the big 3

[valid wyvern]

bro no way they selling gateron on aliexpress

[tropic urchin]

i think gateron.co is just an older site that hasnt been updated but I bought from .com

[valid wyvern]

they knockoffs

[agile torrent]

I think it’s all preference right? Some say the 45 lekkers are better

[tropic urchin]

Sno got a bunch for like $20 lmao with wild sales

[pine bluff]

jades, jades pro, jades max. whichever you can afford

[tropic urchin]

Jades are outdated, Jade maxes suck

[valid wyvern]

i liked the sound of pro's better than max

[tropic urchin]

Jade gaming is more stable but sounds like ass

[valid wyvern]

from the videos

[tropic urchin]

Jade maxes are also not smooth at all

[pine bluff]

well it istn about the name lol

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/x-men-children-of-the-atom-capcom-magneto-helmet-gif-18263255

[tropic urchin]

might as well just get TTCs instead of maxes on god

[vapid oracle]

Amazon

[valid wyvern]

they taxing in europe

70 eur for set of 70

for jade pro

in US its 49 usd

[vapid oracle]

Move out of Europe

[tropic urchin]

I’d just get it from Gateron directly or Ali should be cheaper

[valid wyvern]

let me marry your sister to get green card

[glacial wind]

Jokes on you. The green card will still take 5 years to process even after you get married

[valid wyvern]

true but its still the easiest way of getting in other than walking over the border from mexico

[tropic urchin]

The time for that has come and gone

[valid wyvern]

nope, people are still and always keep doing that

america is full of nothing but immigrants

[tropic urchin]

Ppl will always try sure, but inc regime isn’t going to let it happen as blatantly as the outgoing so your 4 year window has closed for the border crossing strat

[vapid oracle]

What’s my solution if I don’t want to use a tray mount on my board ? I just built my keyboard yesterday and key switches sound inconsistent

Maybe try unscrewing a couple of the screws would that help?

[polar girder]

Friction fit pad or o-ring gummy/friction mount if you’re on a traditional tray mount board

[stone flax]

just change

the mount

[vapid oracle]

I see that wooting sells friction pads so I might try that. Link to o-ring gummy/friction mount ?

[placid kraken]

If I get a different case for a Wooting can I use the strap?

[polar girder]

What case

[polar girder]

Depends on the case

[placid kraken]

Tofu

[polar girder]

No

[vapid oracle]

Ducky Mecha Mini Aluminum case

[polar girder]

Idk if the friction fit pad fits

[vapid oracle]

Yep I don’t think so tbh…

[polar girder]

Right

[vapid oracle]

how do I do this ?

I’m gonna try losing the screws that might help or else oh well

[inner wren]

Does anyone here know if wooting includes small friction pads with the wooting module or the plate

[tawdry tree]

You should check Ali, they’re often cheaper there. And no, they’re not knockoffs.

[tawdry tree]

Maybe, I think the size would be fine but the Mecha Mini’s inside edges are slightly slanted. You could try it.

[tawdry tree]

“Small friction pads”? 🤔

[midnight flint]

Does anyone know if the stock stabs on the prebuilt 60he+ are clipped or not

[tawdry tree]

They don’t have that

so not really pre-clipped

They’re plate mounts

[midnight flint]

Yea I noticed that. I’m trying to fix the ticking sound on my spacebar when going up

[stone flax]

i think he's talking about if the housings are clipped i think

[stone flax]

yea

[midnight flint]

Yea thats what I meant. So they are clipped?

[stone flax]

i said yea

[tawdry tree]

Clipping the housings? What does that do? I only know of the stem.

[stone flax]

ya stem i meant

[tawdry tree]

Yeah this, they’re already without right?

Like the stock screw ins.

[harsh dove]

You don't need to clip the stock stabs, basically preclipped

Only stabs that still have feet like that these days are like Cherry Clip-Ins

[tawdry tree]

exactly, yeah

[vapid oracle]

Top 3 recommendations for aluminum cases ?

[harsh dove]

Out of the ones I've tried I like the Frog Mini, Optimum x Wooting Case, and 461E

what keycaps should i look for for the 80he?

[cyan lark]

MX

[honest flume]

nothing wrong with the 80he and the raw zinc case with the jade pros right? not even the stock stabs?

[cyan lark]

Nope

[gaunt perch]

is wooting actually doing a collab with ttc switches or was that just a rumour. wanna know if i should buy switches elsewhere or wait.

[stone flax]

deltakeyco, prototypist, eloquentclicks, aliexpress

[cyan lark]

Stabs might need some lube

[rich mesa]

ty ❤️

[stiff zealot]

guys

[visual ore]

Wait

Where did you hear that

[stiff zealot]

do i have to remove the gold piece from the alu case?

in the wooting video its says i have to do it but

i doesnt says for what

[visual ore]

Oh man now I'm wondering if I pulled the trigger too soon on my TTC Magneto switches

[cyan lark]

You’re just enlightened

[stiff zealot]

so i remove it and put it back with new o ring and a new screw?

[visual ore]

Wonder if they will do the Regular or also include the new POM ones

[stiff zealot]

can someone see if i made the holes correctly?

I love too but

Just swapping over to HE keyboards from Flaretech so spent quite a bit already for mods.

Might give them a go if I don't like the TTC

[reef oar]

my jade pros finally came today

swapped out the normal jades and i was surprised at how different they felt considering it was essentially just a little upgrade

[icy dew]

sigggmaaa

[reef oar]

sound noticably deeper and i think i got lucky with this set or something, bc these feel like actual butter

[icy dew]

ima make like an excel spreadsheet of all the mods i can do/keycaps/switches, i wanna make sure i go all out

[reef oar]

stock lube feels great

[icy dew]

cool

[visual ore]

Man this makes me question my choices

I was going to get Jade Pros

But then I learned about the Jade Max

Then about the TTC

[icy dew]

depending on the return policy i might order like 3-4 packs of switches to try them out

[reef oar]

jade max

i think it'd look cool for a couple mins

[visual ore]

Even though I don't use RGB

[reef oar]

but then you'd realize you probably made the wrong choice after typing for a bit

[visual ore]

Yeah I hear they're pretty bad in terms of feel

But that lighting difference

[stone flax]

What do you have in mind

[visual ore]

Are you going to include aftermarket cases?

[icy dew]

nah i went with the zinc alloy so im stuck with that

[icy dew]

i'll think about it later, but for this build i want to make sure i do everything i can, this is gonna be my endgame keyboard

[stone flax]

What case

[visual ore]

Zinc Alloy

[visual ore]

Any Keycaps in mind?

[stone flax]

oh an 80he?

gg

[icy dew]

i've been looking at #1070668460905988106

i have yet to find one that i think i would actually go out and buy

but i remember i made a huge png of all the top contendors

[visual ore]

Ooof I get that feel

Sometimes you have to combine colorways to get what you want

[vapid oracle]

Jade pros

[stiff zealot]

hey

should i screw the middle screw?

[visual ore]

Those would be switches 🙂

[stiff zealot]

i already have the corner ones

[vapid oracle]

KBD keycaps good quality

[stiff zealot]

How we looking

[reef oar]

those abs keycaps looking crusty

[stiff zealot]

lol

a little bit

[stone flax]

Those are switches

[reef oar]

i like the alumaze though

looks nice

[stiff zealot]

so im ready to put on the switches?

ye?

[visual ore]

Clean your keyboard but also very nice

[reef oar]

screwed the 5 screws in?

then yeah

[stiff zealot]

just 4

[reef oar]

or 6

[stiff zealot]

the middle one doesnt fit

corner ones

it feels stable

maybe bc of the tape mod

[reef oar]

think you still screw all these into the alumaze

[stiff zealot]

or maybe cuz i didnt screw too tightly

[reef oar]

but i may be wrong

[stiff zealot]

oh shit

almost forgot the right side one

alr

i just did

[reef oar]

k yeah

make sure the usb port is lined up

[stiff zealot]

switch time?

[reef oar]

should be

then yes

[stiff zealot]

it is

[reef oar]

switch time

north facing

[sick shard]

[sick shard]

Fantasstic keyboard

[calm pulsar]

WoB SA is nice

[sick shard]

i have a friend who is a ranked rainbow and age of empires player

which keyboard would do his bidding best?

i told him about my new keyboard project, now hes intrested, he told me he needs a new keyboard to achieve higher apm in age of empires

[calm pulsar]

not sure if an HE board would help with achieving higher apm in a strategy game since they rely on skill way more, but for rainbow a magnetic keyboard is going to be more impactful
