It’s a pity all the sales ran out

strange bloom
glacial wind
#

Think next big sale for aliexpress isn’t until Chinese new year I’d guess

#

it’s going to be hard to ever beat the $24 for 90 jade pros though

strange bloom
tropic urchin
strange bloom
#

when and where was that?

#

why life is so unfair?

chilly mural
glacial wind
strange bloom
#

LOL

calm pulsar
glacial wind
#

and also because keypro had new item discount on jade pro at same time

strange bloom
#

too much work, prefer to pay more

glacial wind
#

So timing just happened to be insane

chilly mural
#

cosmic alignment type of shit

glacial wind
#

Lemme see where that screenshot was

strange bloom
#

I'm sure I checked during BF for any discounts about this shit and found nothing, why, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

glacial wind
#

Ah it’s actually more like $22 now because Korean won dropped lmao

tropic urchin
strange bloom
glacial wind
#

I actually just got around to hand lubing and oiling all their springs today

#

Honestly the best tip for aliexpress outside of the crazy sales is just use the aliexpress app and check in daily to get free coins

#

You automatically get like 5-10% off as a start because the coin store puts coin discounts there on whatever you’ve been browsing recently

#

so you already save a few dollars on everything just from the freebie coin discount

strange bloom
#

all that to get at least 2-3 weeks delivery

glacial wind
#

yeah the best way to deal with Ali delivery is just forget you ordered it then it’ll show up 2-3 weeks later lol

full mauve
#

Do I need to use this screw hole or can I leave it?

strange bloom
#

hahahaha that's right

strange bloom
glacial wind
#

otherwise you’ll check their tracking and see it went through 10 different Chinese cities in a national tour

strange bloom
#

nah, I agree it's nice to forget about the orders you made, when you hear your ringbell it's like "not here, I ordered nothing..."

#

and when you open it, it's like when you find a 50 bill on a jacket pocket

glacial wind
#

Ttc switches are so ungodly expensive outside of the big sales though I swear

#

I saw they’re back to like $1.10-1.20 a switch for those rgb/poms now

strange bloom
#

on keypro AE

glacial wind
#

Yeah the keypro early item sale ended pretty quick

inner wren
#

Is the v2 lekker45 good?

glacial wind
#

I think jabberwock and a few others managed to snag it while they still had the ‘new item’ sale on

glacial wind
inner wren
#

Good to hear because ive ordered them

#

I liked the sound so i ordered them

strange bloom
#

I'm on KBD with tofu60 redux, weight bar and a beautiful cleaning brush on my cart, is there anything else you would add to improve sound/quality? I have the 60HE, not HE+

glacial wind
#

rest would be preference really

#

Things like space bar foam for some is nice depending on the switches

inner wren
#

What do i need to make my wooting thocky

glacial wind
#

Because you basically need a miracle since thock doesn’t exist in the same way custom keyboard folks are talking about it

#

Need someone to invent an entire new switch design for that

inner wren
#

Ohh alright thanks

#

So impossible?

strange bloom
inner wren
glacial wind
#

Yeah basically impossible. It’s why everyone here with ‘clean’ builds are all clacky sound builds

#

all the popular clean switches are clack city

inner wren
#

Okay thank you

strange bloom
#

at least a little

#

i'm sad now

inner wren
#

The time for my order to arrive keeps getting longer lol

glacial wind

inner wren
#

Last time i looked it was 30th December -6th January now its between the 1-8th January

analog pasture
#

anyone know the difference between the jade maxes and pros

#

they're the same price

glacial wind
#

Don’t worry jade pro sound is super clean anyway so I wouldn’t feel bad about it

analog pasture
#

and as far as I can tell the only difference is rgb

strange bloom
glacial wind
analog pasture
#

oh ty

inner wren
#

What does it mean when the order is ready to pack or something i forgot

glacial wind
#

We have people in the server who literally had to refund $100+ of jade maxes lol

analog pasture
#

i guess

tropic urchin
inner wren
#

Oh alright

id rather have bought the TTCs for their price and I hate how they sound 💀

#

Let the power of ttc clack empower you

#

Your neighbours can all enjoy the loud clack on your cf plate

strange bloom
#

I'd like to find the mfs who recommended here to me the black knights (joke)

tropic urchin
#

I got something close with CF plate idk if i want something more xD

strange bloom
glacial wind
#

Ttc make ttc magneto, magneto pom, magneto rgb switches and more

strange bloom
#

ah ok ok

glacial wind
#

They really are absurdly loud compared to every other switch though lol

tropic urchin
#

have you tried lubing them sno or are you just running stock like a fiend

glacial wind
#

I did a video earlier today comparing lucifer vs jade pro vs ttc switches

#

Try to guess which is ttc magneto pom lol

barren wasp
#

sounds the same to me

glacial wind
#

I hand lube everything, even if I don’t use it - I think for the sound and feel tests it’s only fair if all the switches are hand lubed

tropic urchin
#

its like a right of passage

glacial wind
#

I even hand lubed all 90 Jade pros I have sitting in a bottle on my shelf lol

glacial wind
barren wasp
#

whats your favorite HE switch

man, when you quick press the three key it sounds like a horse running, am i right? i am

oh sir, I see you have the goxlr and streamdeck like me, my respects @glacial wind

glacial wind

No, Jade pros/raw he are still going to feel better than any box stem

glacial wind
barren wasp
#

is there a barebones kit for 60% that is compatible with wooting? i want to be able to add more than 1 layer of bottom foam but the stock plastic case isnt thick enough

glacial wind
#

what do you mean by a barebones kit?

barren wasp
#

i see on amazon a ton of barebone keyboard kits that come with a ton of stock foam and a new plate and i was thinking of just replacing their stock module with my wooting one

strange bloom
#

and why more than 1 layer? not so much space

strange bloom
barren wasp
#

case, plate, and foam

strange bloom
#

hum

glacial wind
#

There’s probably plenty if you mean cases, but I’d post here about it before you pick one

#

You don’t really need plate and foam though for those kits if you have a wooting module

#

It has all the foams and a pc plate already. You’d only maybe buy another material plate if you wanted to - like folks here have fr4, pp, carbon fiber etc

#

really all you need is just the case itself that is compatible

strange bloom
#

guys, not related but as I'm a Discord Nitro subscriber I have 3 Nitro subs to gift (they last just for 2 weeks, after that you have to pay), anyone here wants one?

Cf plate sounds so nice and poppy

CF plate best plate blobaww

strange bloom

what CF means here?

tropic urchin

carbon fiber

its second stiffest to steel for the the different plates you can get

Honestly the aliexpress PC plate is not very good compared to the Wooting one

yeah the quality of the plate affects the sound too

I really hope kdbfans doesn’t do weird flex cuts in their 80he plates

#

wtf

calm pulsar
#

uhh why tactiles?

sacred elm
#

no clue

#

why would they release tactile lekkers before improving current v2s instead

tidal frigate
#

@sacred elm how they would name it? Crunchy Delicious switch in dutch?

strange bloom
sacred elm
#

they need to improve v2s first because its clear that theyre nowhere close to jade pros/raws

tidal frigate
sacred elm
#

lekker pros 😎

#

60he pro with lekker pros

strange bloom
#

so, Jade pro raw is not a thing?

calm pulsar
#

raw is a different switch

sacred elm
#

raw is separate switch from geon

calm pulsar
#

geon raw he

sacred elm
#

jade pros are from gateron

strange bloom
#

i'm asking because of this answer that mj gave to me before

calm pulsar

so, geon raw he, or gateron jade pro he

#

ok

sacred elm

jade pro yes

strange bloom

Lekker moist

What isn’t the lekker most switch is the real question

sacred elm
#

those who knowSwitchyPog

solar tundra
gilded copper
#

hi, what are the main difference between jade pro and jade gaming ? because they're the same price at gateron.com (i'm upgrading from lekker45 V1)

sacred elm
#

closed bottom lekkers pleaseSwitchyCry

glacial wind
sacred elm
#

and sound

glacial wind
#

Yeah

#

They sound much muddier vs Jade pros

sacred elm
#

if you have lekker v1 now any switch is going to be an upgrade

gilded copper
#

oh so less wobble right ?

#

wobble is my main issue with lekker

sacred elm
#

jade pros have way less wobble than lekker v1s

glacial wind
#

They’re both pretty low wobble although jade gaming has a tighter bottom out

calm pulsar
#

less wobble, closer to MX sound and feel

sacred elm
#

not even close

glacial wind
#

honestly if wobble is your concern look towards ttc magneto rgb/pom though (but it’s expensive)

#

With a lot of the box stems they’re tighter but the slight wobble really hurts feel

glacial wind
#

For example this is the geon lucifer box stems vs ttc magneto pom. You can hear the difference

sacred elm
gilded copper
#

ok thank you so much, i will go with jade pro i think, if the difference is already huge from lekker i should'nt be disappointed

sacred elm

or are they all pom

so depending on the build it can make the board sound worse, like cheap typical sound of chinese plastic boards

but if you have a hollow case it can improve the sound

# solar tundra You have any Issue with the Port?

Without the tape mod it was fine, with it it's a little tight, but I'm not worried about the small bit of pressure.

I will note that I had to get a grounding pad and scrape off some of the paint job to get the PCB grounded, in case anyone else is thinking of doing this.

It's on the inside of the case so no ugliness, just some strips to electrically connect the grounding pad to the case.

how many layers would u recommend

isn't that thing like a cutout?

I'd also recommend using a multimeter to check for continuity from the case to the usb port after you finish, just to be sure.

if its js 1 does that work or how many layers od i need

calm pulsar

this is subjective, some people say 3-5 layers which is kinda crazy xd

i assume the kdbfans tapemod thing is like

gonna be thicker so you don't have to buy several

The only tool you should need is a PH1 driver bit and maybe some tweezers for getting the pads up.

ok so I need to buy more switches. I only bought 8 Magneto TTCs to test them out, are they still the best?

tawdry tree

I like them for their loud and sharp feedback, but that is very much preference. For performance I don't think I could tell them apart from any of the popular switches (raw, jade/pro)

hollow heart
#

Bag lube or hand lube my springs?

cyan lark
#

How much do you value your time?

hollow heart
#

😭

cyan lark
#

I don't think I will ever hand lube a switch/spring again.

hollow heart
#

I mostly just mean the spring

#

Like is bag lubing the springs that bad?

stone flax
#

?

kind helm
stone flax
#

people literally popularized the use of baglubing just for the spring

hollow heart
#

Bet

stone flax
#

because its the part which can take oil and doesnt worry about careful coverage

hollow heart
#

I'm starting tonight but I'll prolly take till tomorrow

cyan lark
#

I put oil on the springs and tub lube stems. Hand doing all of that took so long, and my poor back.

hollow heart
#

Haha fuck my back

#

I got the wooting lube kit, is the stabilizer grease for the springs too?

kind helm
#

hell nah

hollow heart
#

Or the krytox 205 for both switch and spring

kind helm
#

dk if you can bag lube with 205, people using lighter lube aka oil to bag lube spring

cyan lark
#

I used the krytox on my springs when I hand did them.

hollow heart
#

Tub lube meaning what?

stone flax
#

NO

cyan lark
#

Hey, you live your life the way you wanna.

#

I just wiped the tops/bottoms off after

kind helm
#

👅 tub lube for that creamy look

#

LMAO

stone flax
#

i mean its a waste of lube and even though it just the job done it’d be discernibly worse than hand lubing

cyan lark
#

It is the MSG of switch enhancers 😋

inland jetty
hollow heart
#

So krytox 205 on switches and springs?

stone flax
stone flax
cyan lark
#

For me it isn't discernibly worse, but I am also not drinking my keyboards from a brandy snifter

stone flax
#

bag lube springs with oil

hollow heart
#

I'm just making sure

stone flax
#

205 to hand lube

#

grease for stab wire

cyan lark
#

Waste of some lube yeah, but Daddy can swing that expense if it saves me several hours and back ache.

stone flax
#

205 for stab housing and stem

cyan lark
#

(I'm Daddy)

hollow heart
#

Damn so it just doesn't come with lube for the springs?

stone flax
#

i mean you can tub lube springs if u dont have oil in hand and dont want to buy

#

But no

#

It didnt come with em

hollow heart
#

What kind of oil works?

#

I've got 10w-30 💀

cyan lark
hollow heart
#

I'll prolly just hand lube them than

#

Thank you for advice everyone

stone flax
#

sure

#

please dont overlube

#

esp since ur doing springs

#

it shouldnt be cakey

hollow heart
#

Yeah I got a tiny ass bottle I can't overdue to begin with

cyan lark
#

You'd be surprised

hollow heart
#

Haha

cyan lark
#

It takes an exceptionally small amount on stems to overdo it IMO

hollow heart
#

I'll be conservative, I would rather do it twice than ruin anything

cyan lark
#

It is way harder to remove than to add. Good idea.

kind helm
#

personally, the best way is to experiment with the first few

hollow heart
#

Exactly what I was thinking

#

Their technically factory lubed too

kind helm
#

see how it turns out, then you know how much you need

hollow heart
#

Ty :)

cyan lark
#

I did that but I found it surprisingly difficult to get a sense for the extra "weight" from the new friction until I had enough keys going to really type on them.

hollow heart
#

I'm doing 36 to start than the other 54 tomorrow

cyan lark
#

By weight I mean pressure needed, but maybe more importantly how sluggish they were on the return

kind helm
#

dogekek my perspective is that as long as its not squishy you are fine

#

a tiny bit of overlube it would just take a day or 2 to even out

hollow heart
#

Gotcha still gonna play it safe

kind helm
#

if it sounds watery/ squishy then its fcked you gotta redo

hollow heart
#

I went super duper light but I hit a lot of the switch

#

Seems no squishier/ slower than the unlubed switch

cyan lark
#

The only performance issue that I noticed at times is the sticking at the top for Geon RAWs

#

And really only when gently pressing. Regular typing it isn't noticeable IMO.

sacred elm
#

yea at the very top there is some friction

tawdry tree
sage flicker
#

I think I originally bought the Raptors because they had less stem wobble, so I'm guessing the Magnetos and Raw went further and got even better.

tawdry tree
#

The part of the stem that hits the top housing, that spot. If there’s lube there it feels like friction.

cyan lark

in an attempt to "even it out" I guess

lets be honest, unless you have lekker v1, raptor or some dogwater switches, most decent switches nowadays (raws, jade pros, ttc) have the same ish performance

# sage flicker and wdym by deadzones

when you bottom out a switch and release it, there’s a range in which RT won’t activate right away. The more wobble a switch has, the bigger that range is.

sacred elm
#

so if you have 0.15mm deadzone on lekkers, you will have 0.03mm on ttc koms

#

because there is almost no wobble at the bottom

sage flicker
tawdry tree
#

yesyes

sage flicker
#

but that's at 4mm actuation which most don't use?

#

oh but for holding keys

stone flax

im not sure if we know whats the deadzone with raws and jade pros but its better than lekkers

jade pros have slightly less bottom wobble than raws

Guys i have a wierd question what could I do to make my keyboard more quiet

#

I'm using a 60he with the tofu 60 redux pc plate and jade switches

hollow heart
cyan lark
hollow heart
#

I'm so happy with how they sound, after the first one and I did the rest with lubing the top piece and it makes it sound so nice

#

Plus my 80he is shipped finally

drifting bronze
#

Does anyone know? How to make it more quiet?

visual ore
#

Overlube the switches?

cyan lark
#

Jam that fucker full of foam

#

Treat it like a musket

visual ore
#

If you want to make it more quiet it's going to affect the feeling of the keyboard

#

Also maybe heavy springs so you bottom out less

#

Rubber dampers inside the switch

drifting bronze
#

yeah i was thinking of buying other switches

#

running these now for a few months

sacred elm
# drifting bronze

jades are definitely loud, if you want quieter switches, probably your only option is lekker v2 and if you have 60he with steel plate, you can swap it with pc plate

#

that will also help

drifting bronze
#

but metal on metal will ping righ?

#

right?

#

in my tofu 60 redux

sacred elm
#

wdym metal on metal

drifting bronze
#

yeah

#

not metal

visual ore
#

Metal on metal?

drifting bronze
#

but the redux with the steel plate

sacred elm
#

do you have steel plate now?

drifting bronze
#

no

#

pc

sacred elm
#

ah then its fine

#

steel is way louder

visual ore
#

^

#

The harder the material the more clacky

cyan lark
#

You could friction fit that pupper

visual ore
#

The softer the material the more thocky

drifting bronze
#

im currently using a 60he with the tofu 60 redux / pc plate and silecone insert and the jades

sacred elm
#

yea as TuringTest said get friction fit pad for your 60he, do tape mod and get some lekker v2s because theyre quieter than jades

visual ore
#

Your best option is another switch with heavier springs, lubed up and foam. Maybe throw in a tape mod, sand mod, etc.

drifting bronze
#

sand?

#

tf

sacred elm
#

sandSwitchyCry

visual ore
#

Sand, Foam, Metal Beads anything to fill in the hollow space

ohhhhh

Could give that a try

drifting bronze
#

oh ok good to know thanks

marsh saffron

I prefer the foam over the silicone for my jades

My recommendation is not to put sand in your keyboard. I'm a wild one, though.

drifting bronze

hahaha ok thanks

I was thinking about this video haha

Is this Kinetic Sand ASMR? Kinda, It's filling a mechanical keyboard with kinetic sand to get those sweet thocc sounds. DONT DO THIS THO.
