[dusty wren]

its always js one side

and the other closes

[fallen pecan]

gotta get that gateron switch opener

[dusty wren]

its so expensive

[fallen pecan]

yes it is

[dusty wren]

i got another switcj opener js for this and it still doesnt help

[fallen pecan]

the base-only openers i still have to open with my hands

sale tho

[cyan lark]

That thing opens them all like butter

[nocturne snow]

Just ordered the 80he, any must have mods?

[stone flax]

i have a flathead screwdriver

multipurpiss

[inland jetty]

are u new to modding or experienced?

[nocturne snow]

New

But down to learn.

[inland jetty]

depends how deep youll be going but you def should try it stock with spacebar foam and tuned/lubed stabs, lubed switches

[nocturne snow]

spacebar foam, never heard of it. Heard some reviews complaining about the spacebar.

Seems like an easy mod to do.

[inland jetty]

it is, you basically stuff foam on the spacebar

[nocturne snow]

Yah and lube stabs

Make a big difference huh

[inland jetty]

https://www.amazon.com/HONKID-Keyboard-Switch-Silencer-Mechanical/dp/B0B151BNKP/ref=sr_1_3?sr=8-3 for the spacebar foam, u can get something like this from ali express for cheaper

[nocturne snow]

Very excited to get it. Best keyboard ive had is a Logitech 915 TKL, with brown switches.

[inland jetty]

tbh i went from an idobao id80/apex pro tkl to a wooting and there is no contest

[nocturne snow]

Thats what ive heard. There's wooting, and the rest XD

[inland jetty]

the clones caught up hardware wise but the other aspects... wooting is still top. People are quick to call wooting the apple of keyboards but its literally not true. They have good warranty, modding and repairing is supported and kept in mind, reliability and qc is much better and customer service is better

[fallen pecan]

that's the stab pad soaking up lube and causing the cap to stick

[nocturne snow]

Yah, the warranty was definetly part of the buying decision. Ive had a lot of high end hardware break over the years with just normal use.

And get replaced within warranty

[nocturne snow]

Yah, will probably try when i get the keyboard.

See how it is stock.

[inland jetty]

i can attest to their quality, i have a 60he along with my 80he and my 60he is a few months away from year 3 and I never had any problems with it at all, in any sense. The software is amazing as well and you will be rest assured that software and firmware support is there 100%

[nocturne snow]

Awsome, sounds like im not gonna regret pulling the trigger. Been considering it for a while.

[inland jetty]

like i have the oiriginal 60he not the 60he+ and every board has the same features etc etc. (software wise)

[nocturne snow]

Wanted the metal one, which is mad expensive. But i figured it would be worth the price. Cry once type thing.

[inland jetty]

im the same way, def worth the purchase. I suspect youll go down deep the modding rabbithole

[nocturne snow]

IDK man, kinda bought the wooting cuz i didnt wanna bother custom building my own.

If i wanted to put in the effort i woulda build one.

[inland jetty]

oh lmao my bad. then lubbing switches/stabs and tuning stabs and ur good to go

lubbing is even necessary tbh

[nocturne snow]

I mean what else would really be worth doing

[inland jetty]

isnt*

[nocturne snow]

The most id do is lube the switches

But prob not

[inland jetty]

the stabs for me honestly unless u get lucky

[nocturne snow]

Yah

[inland jetty]

and put a foam on that spacebar for a thocc

[nocturne snow]

Might do that for sure. And the spacebar foam

Ez to do

[fallen pecan]

get the tallest keycaps you can for maximum thock

[inland jetty]

yessir, honestly should take seconds for that one. i also have stock stabs and they are perfectly fine. Tuning them if uneven and lubbing works for me 99% of the time

[nocturne snow]

If you gonna shell out 400 bucks, might asswell put in a little effort to make it perfect

[nocturne snow]

lol

[nocturne snow]

Bet.

[inland jetty]

i actually have a KAT profile keycaps and i think it does add to the thocc

[nocturne snow]

Whats that?

[fallen pecan]

KAT is like a shorter SA

[nocturne snow]

Bruh

Im new to this, you gotta help me a little.

What is SA?

[fallen pecan]

lemme find a pic

[inland jetty]

mb i was trynna find a pic, its better than explaining honestly

[nocturne snow]

oh shii

aight

[fallen pecan]

max volume for max thock

[inland jetty]

the bigger, the thoccier

[nocturne snow]

OEM stock according to the picture or is it different for Wooting?

[inland jetty]

thoccy for a he keyboard that is LMFAO

[fallen pecan]

woot is cherry

[inland jetty]

i forgot what style wooting comes with. its either that or cherry

ahh there we go

[nocturne snow]

So KAT is a little bigger

aight

[inland jetty]

yes sir, then if u want an even more sculpted one, MT3 xD

[nocturne snow]

Specific keycaps you recommend?

[inland jetty]

thats personal preference tbh. how much are you trying to spend?

[nocturne snow]

Hahahaha

Good question

[inland jetty]

thats the real question LOL xD

[nocturne snow]

How much could i spend?

[inland jetty]

as stupid as it gets

[nocturne snow]

lol

What do you have?/prefer?

[inland jetty]

https://kbdfans.com/collections/keycaps/products/retro-rainbow?_pos=1&_fid=c1d2393d7&_ss=c something like this, cherry pprofile

[cyan lark]

If you're not typing on 24k gold what are you even doing?

[nocturne snow]

LMAO

[inland jetty]

lots of options

[nocturne snow]

I hate colors

LMAO

[inland jetty]

the beiuge one LMFAO

[nocturne snow]

You sent rainbow

[inland jetty]

u like pure white/black keycaps?

[nocturne snow]

Black

What makes these special?

[inland jetty]

theyre not special per se, theyre the middle of the pack/run of the mill keycaps from $30 to 70

[nocturne snow]

So why change from OEM?

[inland jetty]

wooting comes with cherry

[nocturne snow]

These are not even shine thru so seems like waste

AAAaah

true

right.

[inland jetty]

cherry is the standard really for gaming

[nocturne snow]

Prob fine for me tbh

[inland jetty]

this is KAT profile if you want the taller keycaps. They also have a white version

[nocturne snow]

Right

Gotcha

[ionic breach]

wooting is mostly oem btw

[inland jetty]

for cherry profiles, youll see a fuckton of options, just google around and you see so many from kbds fans, drop, amazon, epomaker etc etc

[nocturne snow]

What do you mean by that?

Thx for the help @inland jetty

[inland jetty]

oh LMAO

eitheryway, you wont feel a huge difference with these two. You will tho if you go from oem/cherry to KAT/MT3

[nocturne snow]

Bet

Is it worth lubing the switches?

[inland jetty]

i know this sounds like a bullshit answer but it depends on the "sound" and "feel" you want

[nocturne snow]

Nah thats valid

[inland jetty]

like for me, listening to geon raw (keyswitch like the lekker v2's) reviews, i dont like how it sounds muted lubed so im not lubing mine even tho it will feel ""smoother"

[nocturne snow]

I care more for the feel than the sounds tbf

[inland jetty]

that will definitely affect ur decision then. Just try it with a switch (lubed and unlubed 1 each) to compare. youll have a spare or two I assume so you should be good to go

[nocturne snow]

Yah good idea

[surreal spire]

just got my keyboard im hard

[nocturne snow]

https://tenor.com/view/ayyoooo-ayoo-ayyoo-gif-24286843

[inland jetty]

60he?

[surreal spire]

yes

[inland jetty]

lets go dude. welcome 😄

[surreal spire]

the difference is insane i just got on brawlhalla and destroyed everyone

[inland jetty]

wait wtf, it actually gives advantage on fighter games?

lmfao, thats crazy

[surreal spire]

yeah my inputs are so much faster

i wanna get a new case and keycaps tho

[cyan lark]

TTC KoM, brother.

[inland jetty]

yeah i have a case from ali express for mine. Som e kind of a shiny metal case

[surreal spire]

i was looking at a couple but all the ones i liked were sold out

[nocturne snow]

Link?

[inland jetty]

holy shit, arent those a dollar a pop?

[cyan lark]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[nocturne snow]

lol

thx

[inland jetty]

fuck it, u got gold keycaps, a dollar per switch is nothing at that point

😂

[nocturne snow]

lol

Is it that big a difference?

[nocturne snow]

Just stock or lubed?t

[inland jetty]

u gotta look at reviews for those on yt honestly. Performance wise, it wont honestly

its a feel thing

[nocturne snow]

I will

Never heard of it tho, so i appriciate the advice.

[inland jetty]

but looking around here for comments/short vids about those switches + youtube reviews shoould give you a good idea if you want the switch for its "feel"

oh there's a couple of HE switches that you can buy nowadays but if youre buying for better performance... yeah... nah lmao

[nocturne snow]

WDYM by that? Makes it worse to change the switches or can make it better to?

[inland jetty]

it changes the feeling/sound

[nocturne snow]

You think its worth getting TTC KoM switches?

[inland jetty]

for example, the jade/jade pros to my knowledge bottoms out at 3.5mm instead of 4mm

[inland jetty]

if you want the "feeling" they are describing

doesnt change performance of the keyboard tho so its personal preference at that point

[nocturne snow]

Gotcha

[inland jetty]

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

[nocturne snow]

Thx

watching it

[stone flax]

no

[inland jetty]

again, these are just personal preferences, doesnt affect performance of the keyboard. If im being practical, the lekker v2's will perform just as well as any of these switches, it just doesnt sound or feel as good

[cyan lark]

Yes

[stone flax]

are u schizophrenic

do you like plasticky sound

if so

yes

else

[inland jetty]

LMFAOOO CHILL HAHAHA

[stone flax]

no

[nocturne snow]

lol

Why not?

[inland jetty]

he just means it sounds like ass

[cyan lark]

mj just jealous.

[stone flax]

plasticky sound and feel

[nocturne snow]

mmh

[inland jetty]

but again, subjective. Most people hate the sound of it but love the feel but PURELY subjective

[nocturne snow]

yah

[inland jetty]

go with what you want once u see the reviews. at the end of the day ur the one hearing the sounds, not us. you dictate what sounds and feels good

[calm pulsar]

they dont come prelubed which is dumb af though

[inland jetty]

the v2's? yeah it is what it is

[cyan lark]

?

You talking about lekker?

[inland jetty]

at least theyre cheap tho

[nocturne snow]

He talking about TTC KoM

[inland jetty]

oh wtf, fr?

[cyan lark]

Ah, those also are pre-lubed, but only on the housing.

[inland jetty]

goddamn one dollar a pop and its not pre lubbed?

[nocturne snow]

lol

[inland jetty]

ahhh

[cyan lark]

It is pre-lubed on the housing.

[calm pulsar]

people are saying the rails are dry

[cyan lark]

They are pretty dry.

[inland jetty]

were back to... one dollar a pop and we gget that??? goddadmn haha

[cyan lark]

Correct

[calm pulsar]

I found KoM for a bit cheaper on ali but yeah

[nocturne snow]

Yah, i dont like the sound in the vid compared to Lekker

[calm pulsar]

I trust jade pros or geon raw he more

[inland jetty]

im just messing around guys btw, i hope im not offending anyone. to each their own with these keyboard mods. i just love to be sarcastic

[inland jetty]

seems like the gold standard atm for everyone

[inland jetty]

see 😄

[calm pulsar]

yeah they're simply good
among them I prefer jade pros for a bit more concentrated sound and I have both, but raws are good tech

[inland jetty]

i cant wait for my jade pros to come honestly. I want them in my 60he.

i got the raws on my 80he

[inland jetty]

i think you should stick with the lekker switches for now and then depending on how you feel, you can always buy other switches later. It should be easy to swap them out. Yoou dont actually even have to worry about lubing if youre willing to buy lubed switches off someone on reddit. They also offer lubing services. You can get as lazy as you want. Aint nobody gonna judge you

[nocturne snow]

Yah

Imma leave it stock, maybe do the spacebar foam and lube.

At most.

[inland jetty]

you should be good honestly. For me, i have the lekker v1's on my 60he rn and geon raws ( much better switch feel and sound wise) on my 80he. Aside from the different sound and feel, it doesnt give me any noticeable differences or advantage during practice so yeah.

[stone flax]

she woot on my ting till i lekker

[inland jetty]

was it a big ting?

[cyan lark]

Gyatt

Lekker? I hardly know ‘er.

[vapid oracle]

[nocturne snow]

Lol

[hollow heart]

Roughly 3-4 hours and I've got all 90 hand lubed, I hit basically any spot that'll get friction with lightest amount of lube I could managed and Thier perfect

I even made sure each switch has the notch on the top, they came with the notch not all facing the same way

[glacial wind]

is this raw he? I remember the notch thing with that being like that lol

[hollow heart]

Yeah the geon raws he

It was so weird my ADHD ass couldbt handle them being different

I even redid a few switches that I didn't like the sound 😅

Now I actually got a get the module to make sure everything sounds right

[stone flax]

whens it coming

stabs are gonna be fun 👅

[hollow heart]

It's the 80he with a plastic case it'll be here by the 17th

Or so I hope 😅

[stone flax]

@spice plover how were black knights

[dapper magnet]

which switch is more clacky geon rawhe vs jade pro

[glacial wind]

they’re both equally clacky with slightly different pitches

Raw he being a touch higher pitch

[tropic urchin]

both are pretty clacky, if you want to unlock max clack then you will also want to pair either with a stiff plate

[sacred elm]

imagine wanting clack when you can have thocky wooting with pp plate and lekker v1s

😳

[fast oriole]

Does pc sound good with geon raw he

[fluid ravine]

In my opinion for my preference, i don't enjoy it cus the bottom out sounds dead for me. Some others may agree and some others may prefer it

[sacred elm]

pc plate 🤮 (I use it)

[dreamy willow]

hey guys what are some nice yellow/black keycaps for the wooting 80he anyone have any suggestions?

[weak bloom]

Hey, guys! Do you know if the gmk keycaps fit well on wooting 80he?

[glacial wind]

They fit, you’re good

[weak bloom]

Okay! I’m thinking about to take the olivia or cafe ones. Thanks!

[stone flax]

serika

[hollow whale]

Can i use pcb mounted stabs on a he60+

[glacial wind]

Yeah but some don’t fit well due to tolerance issues with the plate

Knight v2 stabs are recommended because they fit well

[hollow whale]

I bouht some tx stabs are they fine sorry im kinda new to this stuff lol

[glacial wind]

Risky. A lot of reports of it not fitting

You might get lucky with tolerances and get it to fit but it’s very hit or miss with the tx stabs on 60he+

[visual ore]

What's wrong with PC?

[sacred elm]

It mutes the sound and I dont like it, also its very soft. I prefer stiff plates for games

[tropic urchin]

PC plate dampens a lot of sound so clack enjoyers don’t like

That and having a stiffer plate feels nicer for some too

[hollow whale]

Thx 😬

[fast oriole]

Can you record

[glacial wind]

there's pc plate sound samples on wooting channel

honestly pc plate sound change isn't all that major for 60he, but things like carbon fiber for example are much larger difference

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

[fast oriole]

that’s stuck switches

[glacial wind]

?

pc plate is the stock plate in all 60he+ modules just fyi, so basically a huge amount of all sound tests online for folks with a 60he+ module are pc plate as default

[fast oriole]

Okay

how is fr4?

[glacial wind]

it's a slightly stiffer plate

there's not really much else to say besides that there is slight differences in pitch with the different plates, with differences being more noticable with bigger jumps (such as pc to carbon fiber) and you'll have to experiment to see what you like

[tropic urchin]

if PC plate is like 80/20 for ‘thoc’ to clack, FR4 is closer to a 40/60-50/50 ratio

Not a bad plate but depending on what you want/looking for it isn’t as flexible as PC, but has decent rigidity to it for typing

It’s a nice balanced plate

[glacial wind]

that the kdbfans one?

[harsh dove]

The CF plate? I believe so

[glacial wind]

ah okay

[knotty iron]

mmm

[tropic urchin]

W plate

[flat cobalt]

I can’t wait to get my 80he

[surreal edge]

me too........

[glacial wind]

hrm geon got another batch of pbtfans xray in

tempting

[visual ore]

Are the new batches good

I remember looking up xrays and lots of stuff about keycaps cracking

[glacial wind]

no idea, i've been weary to buy any of them after the reports of breaking

[visual ore]

Same

[glacial wind]

aifei has their whole line of translucent stuff now too for cheapies

[harsh dove]

I don't have any cracks on any of my keys on my XRay set personally

People got hammer fingers or something

and I could only find 1 reddit post about it

[visual ore]

It's more so the translucent line from PBTfans

That's good to hear though

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah, I did see post about those and the "Kabuki" sets iirc

[fluid ravine]

Whatchu up to now CAM

I can't see rn cus I'm in bed

[harsh dove]

Was bored and swapped to CF plate real quik

[fluid ravine]

Squinting the life out of my blind asss rn

[fluid ravine]

Yay! My build my build!

[harsh dove]

Yeah its not bad

[fluid ravine]

What caps?

[harsh dove]

Still usin GMK Rubrehose rn

[fluid ravine]

Ah Rubrehose

So you've tried POM and CF so far. What else u gonna try?

Have you tried that black ALU plate yet?
I feel like you have but I don't remember

[harsh dove]

Nah I need too

almost forgot about that lol

[uneven cradle]

My gmk rubrehose finally arrived but I'm away at the moment

[harsh dove]

Doing it now lol

Forgot I had it

[marsh saffron]

Me neither

My xray set seems great

[glacial wind]

do we have anyone with xray on optimum photos?

curious how that combination would look

[tawdry tree]

Funnily enough, I don’t think they actually were the wrong way in. IIRC; similar to Gateron, Hejin has multiple (slightly different) molds for the stems, hence the notches differ per stem. For Raw HEs specifically, you can flip them around without issue because they’re symmetrical in both axis.

Unlike Gateron’s KS-20 series switches.

[tawdry tree]

Flex cuts 😡

[harsh dove]

Black Alu plate better

[tawdry tree]

😌

[harsh dove]

shoulda told me like 15 mins ago lol

[harsh dove]

https://kbdfans.com/products/tofu60-redux-plate

[tawdry tree]

Now that but with PCB mount stab holes. 😁

[tawdry tree]

Did it come with standoffs?

[harsh dove]

Nah

[harsh dove]

I'm using pcb mounts with it

Swagkeys Knights

[tawdry tree]

Unless I’m blind, what is KBD on? Do people smell that they need to buy the standoffs separately?

It’s not that they don’t know either, there was a guy here not too long ago who had a plate without standoffs and contacted them. 😂

[harsh dove]

wait wym

[tawdry tree]

should include a warning: “Requires standoffs kit” or something along those lines.

[harsh dove]

Ah, yeah it should

Even the 3rd party custom plate websites say it

I bought like 20 standoff kits a while back so I never run out lol

[tawdry tree]

😂😂 smart

[harsh dove]

and also helps with being able to just leave em installed on different plates instead of removing them everytime I wanna switch plates or something

[tawdry tree]

helps a lot, it’s way faster to remove just the plate instead of having to remove the PCB first, then the plate (for tray*).

[knotty iron]

i bought extra stock of X-ray but I don't have the optimum case

[inner wren]

[tawdry tree]

This one is 100% compatible with the 60HE’s PCB right?

Standoff locations are all correct?

[inner wren]

If it is is it better than the wooting plate i just ordered

From wooting

Holy that sentence is weird

[harsh dove]

Yeah works as normal

[dreamy willow]

do u guys think this is a solid option for a cool looking black and yellow keycap set?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D48P3MLB/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AFB5KTL5FE772&psc=1

[tawdry tree]

No, just different. Alu vs Steel or PC depending on if you got the prebuilt or the Module.

[inner wren]

Bought a pc pretty sure

Whats the difference?

[tawdry tree]

Alu is stiffer

[inner wren]

What do those plates change

[inner wren]

Yup

[tawdry tree]

It’ll alter the sound as well, slightly.

[inner wren]

Ive changed the plate of my akko keyboard to a white one now it looks ugly

Needa change it back when im home

[inner wren]

Oh alright

[inner wren]

Changed from pc to aluminium i liked pc more

[tawdry tree]

It could be different for your Woot, did you have the steel plate before?

Prebuilt 60HE’s steel plate*

[inner wren]

My wooting module didnt arrive yet but just the aesthetics ill change the plate to a black one ive ordered

Im pretty sure it wont look good having a white plate paired with a tofu60 in black and dark keycaps

Same was with my other keyboard

Doesnt look good honestly

[tawdry tree]

I like black plates for pretty much any set. It makes the keycaps look like they’re floating.

Floating is not the right word

[wintry oxide]

Need Helpp

[inner wren]

Yeah i get what you mean tho

Same for me

[inner wren]

Whats the issue

[tawdry tree]

AGAINNNN

[inner wren]

Uh

[wintry oxide]

Guys

[inner wren]

Isnt it possible to open on a browser

And do there?

[tawdry tree]

You need a PC to change it I think

[inner wren]

Im pretty sure ps5 has a browser

[wintry oxide]

😨

[inner wren]

That isnt a huge issue ull find someone with a pc

Ur friend or someone will have one right?

First try doing it on the web

[wintry oxide]

Let My Show

[inner wren]

On the ps5

[tawdry tree]

chromium?

does that even exist on the ps5

[inner wren]

I dont know

[marsh saffron]

Doesn't work

[inner wren]

Alright

[tawdry tree]

I don’t know either! PS5less people here

[marsh saffron]

You need a PC to use wootility

Just needs to be some cheap shitty laptop

[inner wren]

@wintry oxide

[inner wren]

Cant u probably just use some school laptop or something

[marsh saffron]

Chromebooks might work yeah

[inner wren]

So sadly you need to go to someone who has a laptop or a pc and do it there

[solar tundra]

Can someone recommend a Grounding Pad EU Vendor?

[ivory cedar]

hello I plan to order some magnetic jade switches for my 60he+, do i need third party stabs for the new switches (plan to order them now)? Read something about the jade having a shorter stem due to less travel distance . If so what kind of stabs would I need? (3.5mm vs 4mm)

[safe stag]

If you by them from the wooting store, you’ll get additional stabs

[ivory cedar]

ok thanks

[spring storm]

I really love the geon raw switches, but it dimms the leds so much, is it the Same With the jade Pros

[reef oar]

jade pros tint some colours blue

like white is not possible

i wouldn't say it dims them though

[safe stag]

Just buy jades max

Oh wait

[hollow heart]

Hey is there any mods I should do when I get my 80he should I get foam or tape mod when it comes?

[fast oriole]

Make them bright it help

[spice plover]

good honestly wish they were 4.0 actuation

[fallen pecan]

morkblade gh60 cnc case (not my pic)

[stone flax]

They are

[surreal edge]

raw dim rgb? a guy in group told me raw has better rgb....than lekker my keycap legend are front facing blacklit

[stone flax]

? Is diffuser side facing north?

[drifting bronze]

Guys me have a problem my parents keep complaining abt my wooting tofu 60 redux with a pc plate and silicone insert with normal jades being to loud but I don't like the feel of my lekker l60 v1s compared to my jades

[cyan lark]

Get new parents

[cyan lark]

I mean Jade Pros are a little less loud on the high end... but I dunno. Put foam in instead of silicone?

[stone flax]

……

the diffuser is on the bottom side

turn them upside down

That transparent window should be north-facing to match where the led is

[drifting bronze]

Are they're like switches that sound better and feel better

[fallow tartan]

boo

[stone flax]

ya

What are u coming from

jade pro

Raw he

[drifting bronze]

Fiesta where lekker l60 va and currently on jades

[fallow tartan]

@stone flax hey so which stabs shld I get

[stone flax]

tune the stock ones?

i assume you have grease and lube

[fallow tartan]

I do

but I also wanna try out other stabs

[drifting bronze]

Then get others

[fallow tartan]

yea but idk which ti get

apparently tx have issues

[drifting bronze]

Idk for sure but I think the durock

[stone flax]

plate tolerance problems

[fallow tartan]

durock v2 don't fit

[stone flax]

they may or may not be too thick

relative to plate

[stone flax]

for what purpose really

[fallow tartan]

the durock v2 are too fat for the pcb

[stone flax]

yea

[fallow tartan]

different feel and sound

[stone flax]

thats not gonna happen

stabilizers are stabilizers

[drifting bronze]

Yea but also a pain to tune

[stone flax]

they all sound the same after tuning*

[drifting bronze]

Id say keeping the stock ones

Thock father also gave me that advice

[stone flax]

:0

Thick father

[drifting bronze]

I FIXED IT AUTOCORRECT

[stone flax]

[fallow tartan]

I bought those pads to put underneath the wire, spacers for housing and holee mod tape hope it helps fix the small ticking I have

[stone flax]

please no

😭

[fallow tartan]

huh

there like less than 10 dollars

[drifting bronze]

My dogs are so clingy

[stone flax]

pads and holee are cope that end up with mushy sound and feel once lube disperses

they actively hurt how stabs sound and feel

[fallow tartan]

oh

[stone flax]

yeah

[fallow tartan]

so no pads and holee

[stone flax]

they get unironically slimy after a couple time

[fallow tartan]

but is the pad under the wire fine

[stone flax]

not really, again thats unless you want it to be mushier/dampened

just wire balance

or get slightly thicker wires

[fallow tartan]

are the stock wires fine

[drifting bronze]

Yea maybe straighten them

[stone flax]

yeah, theyre not like cherrys at all

good thickness

[fallow tartan]

wait is there a chanel where I can send typing sound

[stone flax]

wire balancing + grease should get them sounding perfect

[drifting bronze]

Here i think

[fallow tartan]

okay

[stone flax]

here is fine

[fallow tartan]

o

okay gime a sec

what switches do yall use

[drifting bronze]

For wich should I go raw he or jade pros

[stone flax]

Geon. Raw. He!!

[cyan lark]

TTC KoM and Jade pro

[drifting bronze]

Did you try the original jades?

[cyan lark]

Yeah

[fallow tartan]

original jade's suck ass

[stone flax]

i had it in my amazon cart and thought “why downgrade”

[fallow tartan]

so much ticking

[stone flax]

😂

[cyan lark]

Original jades do not, in fact, suck ass.

[fallow tartan]

bro once u get the pros u will realise the difference

[drifting bronze]

So they do or do not

[cyan lark]

I have jades and jade pros.

[cyan lark]

Please reread.

[drifting bronze]

Yea i don't understand it bc my first language is not English

[cyan lark]

Fair enough. They do not suck proverbial ass.

[drifting bronze]

So they're not bad

[cyan lark]

They are not bad.

[stone flax]

he just said his first language not english and you chuck proverbial on there 😭

[cyan lark]

Ass: They don't suck it

[fallow tartan]

1st is space bar 2nd is back space

[cyan lark]

Sorry

jade good

jade pro better

[fallow tartan]

oo

maybe ill get those to try them out

[cyan lark]

Geon Raw good

[fallow tartan]

aliexpress the best to buy like 5 switches to test them out

[cyan lark]

TTC KoM king 👑

[drifting bronze]

Yea but clack is louder then thock right?

[fallow tartan]

yea

the whole point of jades are to clack

[stone flax]

👅

[stone flax]

buzz words you should try to avoid

[cyan lark]

KoMs are very clacky

[drifting bronze]

I like both the deeper sounds of the lekkers and the higher pitch sound of the jades but I prefer the lighter click of the jades

[stone flax]

spring swap

[drifting bronze]

Or just buy the l45 v2

I guess

[fallow tartan]

how do i get rid of that annoying rattle sound when i type

[cyan lark]

Stop typing

[fallow tartan]

like its on the normal keys like a s d

[cyan lark]

Probably a stab issue

[stone flax]

what switches

[fallow tartan]

jadde pros

[stone flax]

what keys sound off

[fallow tartan]

everythiung

[stone flax]

☠️

brudda what

[fallow tartan]

bro idk

when i record it u cant hear it

but irl theres some annoying sound

or maybe im tyoping at an angle

[drifting bronze]

These are the choices I got

How are the jade maxes?

[fallow tartan]

@stone flax yo so basically no holee mod or spacers at all?

or tape around the ends of the wire

[drifting bronze]

@cyan lark wich do you think i should get

[stone flax]

wdym spacers

[fallow tartan]

wait leme find a pic

[stone flax]

cuz if its for the jade pros

Then yea

You should use em if ur stabs arent longpole

[fallow tartan]

what are long poles

[cyan lark]

Stems that are longer than normal

[fallow tartan]

o

[vivid star]

Are they louder than Jade Pros? Open bottom or closed?

[cyan lark]

Yes, closed.

[vivid star]

Currently using Jade Pro, and they are somewhat louder than I had expected. Would you recommend TTC Magneto or Geon Raw HE?

[cyan lark]

If you think the Jade Pros are too loud, definitely don't get KoM.

(aka Magneto)

[stone flax]

just build the board to quieter

[cyan lark]

I don't honestly think Geon RAW is much different in volume to jade pro off the top of my head, just different frequencies.

[glacial wind]

What if he goes so loud that it goes full circle and becomes soft again

[cyan lark]

I believe that is called "hearing damage"

Which is, in fact, my goal.

[glacial wind]

Get some magneto pom, some cf plate, maybe set up loudspeaker next to it

[cyan lark]

Feedback loop

[glacial wind]

really amplify that sound to show everyone your dominance

[cyan lark]

Keyboard alpha dawg

https://tenor.com/view/bark-rex-hudson-and-rex-woof-arf-gif-23973844

[glacial wind]

Hrm dmk red translucent full base set for $66 on winter sale coming up… tempting

[drifting bronze]

@cyan lark wich do you think i should get

[cyan lark]

Oh that's pretty

[inland jetty]

I'm halfway there. I got the cf plate, just not the dollar a pop switches 😂

[glacial wind]

Yeah tempted to pick it up and pair with optimum case, get a race car red and grey theme going

[inland jetty]

Well call it "The Terrorist"

[cyan lark]

I dunno, you want a quieter switch, use Lekker?

[inland jetty]

Anyone within the vicinity will go deaf 😂

[drifting bronze]

But i don't like the feel of the l60 v1s

[inland jetty]

Isn't there a silent switch from gateron? Never seen reviews tho

[cyan lark]

I dunno, haven't used one.

[fallow tartan]

guys thoughts on ceramic key caps..

[inland jetty]

Oh God don't do it

[cyan lark]

General consensus is don't

[spring storm]

Lol, thats why I had no more LED 😂😂😂

[stone flax]

no

[spring storm]

Thx guys now I have to pull every Switch out again 😭😭😭

[inland jetty]

Unless you have $140 to just throw away and gamble, do not get ceramic key caps

[fallow tartan]

wasting money speed run lets go

[stone flax]

yw

[inland jetty]

LMAOOOOO

[spring storm]

😂😂😂

[fallen pecan]

dareu also sells cera caps now, $41 for the whole set before taxes and shipping

[inland jetty]

Honestly bro, for $140 in total, you really shouldn't be dealing with qc issues like uneven key caps etc etc.

[inland jetty]

Is it like ceramic coated or something?

[fallen pecan]

basically a clone of cerakeys, but cheaper

[inland jetty]

Damn, so full ceramics?

[fallen pecan]

ceramic cap on plastic stem

same as cerakey

[inland jetty]

Wooow

Now that's worth a gamble if you got $40 to spare

[fallen pecan]

issue is some of you cant buy direct from china

[inland jetty]

There u go bro, if u wanna gamble, this is better

[inland jetty]

They can do the whole hire a person to buy and ship it

There's a website for it

[fallen pecan]

here's the link for those interested: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=863128856696

[inland jetty]

At least ur not losing over $100 dollars if it sucks

[cyan lark]

The penny slot machine is way better than the quarter one

[drifting bronze]

GUYS WISH ME LUCK gonna change the switches in my op1 8k

[spice plover]

They feel good honestly. I really enjoy the lighter springs and 4.0 actuation.

Personally I like the sound of them even though I don’t care for sound much

[spice plover]

I love this mouse

[stone flax]

knew it

so im guessing closed bottoms were fatiguing to you

[spice plover]

Yes, also the stem being more “filled” during the press down helps a lot

[stone flax]

👅

im never wrong

[spice plover]

And then the most important is lighter springs on top of it all

Personally using the lightest ones from wooting right now

I hope a new silent switch comes out as well that’s 4.0 / Hall effect / softer bottom out.

And the springs I’ll just change out using wootings l35s

[peak breach]

wish we got gmk metaverse v3, not really a persona fan but i want a red black and white keycap set

[inland jetty]

I'm teaching him how to gamble better 😂😂😂

[inland jetty]

Aren't there a myriad of cherry profile key caps. I'm sure you can find that theme somewhere 🙏🏾

[surreal edge]

any one can tell me diff between south and north facing led....

[stone flax]

one has led’s on the top and one has led’s on the bottom

north facing led’s can cause switch intereference with cherry spec keycaps

not really an issue with how switches are

[surreal edge]

can you give me pic with example what is diff between glow i like a keycap which has front faceing legends which can glow with rgb

but 80 he has north facing led

then i will feel legend will very dim?

[fallen pecan]

these will be dim, top facing ones will be fine

[glacial wind]

Hrm the big save deals on aliexpress are up to a limited quantity normally right?

[surreal edge]

this is south facing?

[glacial wind]

Noticed checking todays deal it says almost sold out even though store has plenty of stock

[surreal edge]

you have example how a north facing look like

[fallen pecan]

i added 2 big save mad60hes and theyre both the same price

[glacial wind]

I mean more the big save deals runs out after x purchases I think

So like they set it to 100 orders or whatever before it disappears from the page

Although I’m not 100% sure if it works like that but I couldn’t find in depth info on big save page anywhere

[stone flax]

get mad60he 😛

[surreal edge]

can you suggest me one thing i like xvx topograpic keycap....they have two model both has front faceing legend...in one ver legends and blacklit and one they dont support backlit..... ig they has 3-4 dollar price diff which one i should choose............and lekker will make rbg dimmer? if i use rgb in full brightness? any switch suggestion for good rgb so legends will not become dimmer

[fallen pecan]

no idea honestly

[glacial wind]

Hrm to buy Domikey ruby for $66 or risk waiting for it on the 1st where if big sale is still valid then it’s $54

[fallen pecan]

might have a bigger sale on 1st

chinese shopping sites usually have sales on the day:month dates like 11 22 etc

[glacial wind]

Yeah the 1st sale is what I’m waiting for to try combine big savings plus winter 1st sale

But if big savings deal runs out before then the final sale price goes up $14 or so

[fallen pecan]

are you looking at the base or all in one?

cos base has 17 left, all in one 5 left

[glacial wind]

Just base, I think all in one is kind of ugly

oh you manually went in and checked how many you could add to cart?

That’s one way to check stock I guess lol

[fallen pecan]

nah it says so in the page

[polar girder]

Ok I have to hurry up and test these plate materials to figure out which one I meant for Venom

Been waiting long enough.

Taking out switches my least favorite part about modding tho NGL

[fallen pecan]

Big save tm

[glacial wind]

Ah weird it doesn’t show it on mine

Is yours desktop?

[fallen pecan]

ios app

[glacial wind]

Weird my app doesn’t show it

I wonder if us app is different

My app looks like this and limits me to 1 lol

[fallen pecan]

🤷‍♂️ maybe

[dreamy willow]

anyone know any good yellow and black keycaps or just nice yellow accents for some keys?

[cyan lark]

https://novelkeys.com/products/gmk-cyl-metropolis-r2-keycaps?variant=39541987573927

I guess the link doesn't go to the kit - was thinking Signs or maybe Turnpike

[mental salmon]

Finally using the Optimum case in my 60HE, now I need a matching wrist rest in both lenght and color 😅

[visual ore]

https://novelkeys.com/products/gmk-cyl-awaken-keycaps?variant=37737315598503

But I had these in my cart for a while

[river bridge]

shit its $85 off rn

[visual ore]

Mhmm

[ionic raven]

What are some good ceramic keycaps

[fluid ravine]

Cerakeys

[ionic raven]

will the spacebar be too heavy for jade pro switch?

[tropic urchin]

switch should be fine you probably will just need to get heavier springs potentially to support ceramic caps

[ionic raven]

o

[fluid ravine]

Most likely
And yeah like Varedis said you should get heavier springs especially for the modifiers, for all the people I know that has Cerakeys they get 80g or up.

[tropic urchin]

I’d also ask frijoles for his take since he’s the unofficial cerakeys rep for this channel too, should be able to get some good pointers

[stone flax]

💀

just buy the clones

[stone flax]

what u want cerakeys for

[ionic raven]

why not

[kind helm]

@stone flax did you get the jst cable for venom or you waiting on the new frog first :3

[stone flax]

im doing it with the left side port

[fluid ravine]

Theres clone??

Sheee

[stone flax]

there you go

[kind helm]

i meant leggra, or you sticking with mini :3

only when i started looking for jst cables i start realizing the lack of information in that area. completely new to daughterboard & jst specs

[stone flax]

frog mini betterer

[kind helm]

if shipping goes right, testing plateless venom tomorrow night, and testing jst connector either late this week or beginning of next week

excited

[chilly mural]

Yay

[calm pulsar]

I'd love to try a proper gummy oring though

[chilly mural]

Venom time

[charred cobalt]

Hey hey hey,

Guys

I just ordered my wooting 60

[ionic raven]

what that

[marsh saffron]

Basically every cerakey build has tons of crooked ass keycaps

[charred cobalt]

And I have a couple of questions

Are those right

[marsh saffron]

Shits wild for the price

[marsh saffron]

Notice the crooked keycaps

[charred cobalt]

Hello plz help

[calm pulsar]

pretty much any build I see has these imperfections which is annoying

[ionic raven]

[marsh saffron]

It's a thing with like every cerakey build I've seen

[kind helm]

do you plan to buy it?

[calm pulsar]

nah im waiting for luminkey lx60, but I think the new frogs are great for what they offer and the way cheaper price compared to frog mini

[stone flax]

crooked ass keycaps

[charred cobalt]

Plz help

[kind helm]

I wish i know a guy in korea, finding the appropriate jst cable seems to be surprisingly hard

[calm pulsar]

do you need a specific length? I think you can order any jst cable from aliexpress tbh

I havent built with the daugherboard yet but should be pretty easy

I ordered an extra db from kbfans that comes with a jst cable too

[harsh dove]

Common issue with cerakeys

Everyone build I’ve seen has crooked keys and valleys

[kind helm]

well i spoke with people in kbdfan discord, the people i spoke to are not sure if the db can be compatible

[calm pulsar]

I will likely just take the jst part

[fluid ravine]

Is it still up for pre order rn?

[kind helm]

just dm you the chat i had with kbdfan people, but they are not the staff

gonna try talking to the staff to confirm things tonight

[calm pulsar]

from geon I think not anymore but there's 4 vendors that sell 6.25 and 7u on aliexpress

[fluid ravine]

Y not anymore?

[kind helm]

only thing solid i can say about the cable right now is that the sequence on the jst cable needs to be the correct one

[kind helm]

though i am not sure why they wouldn't be, its better to confirm

[fluid ravine]

Fug

[chilly mural]

Just hope geon does it again

Or actually have venom constantly in stock

[fluid ravine]

I want a 7u :(

[chilly mural]

Hehe, full venom60he kit straight from geon. That sounds nice

[chilly mural]

Still can't decide if i like 7u or not

[polar girder]

Next pre-order planned?

[polar girder]

Yeah same bro. Mostly want 8k ngl but also want to switch to 7u

[calm pulsar]

not sure
tbh I would just order from aliexpress lol

[fluid ravine]

Got any links so I can save?

[calm pulsar]

here's the one I saved https://sl.aliexpress.ru/p?key=3onGGLE

but also searching for "geonworks venom" helps

[fluid ravine]

Thanks

[kind helm]

price is good too, 90usd with free shipping

[charred moon]

does the wooting 60he+ have a battery

[harsh dove]

7u is best

[harsh dove]

No

[charred moon]

so i can use this?

[harsh dove]

Sure

[charred moon]

alr

[fluid ravine]

Cus at best
What I want the most from the venom is just more mounting options, well the gummy o'ring mount duh, while maintaining similar to same software with wooting, and try new layouts

[kind helm]

mx > he, i just swapped back to my good old monsgeek, sound so even

[fluid ravine]

Id be down to switch but hell if I gotta order from aliexpress I gotta think my choices for the time being

[kind helm]

can send you the link for where i get mine too if mine arrives safely tomorrow

[tidal frigate]

Wooting can use same mounts as venom though

[polar girder]

I just found this on AliExpress: $93.55 | Geonworks Venom 60 HE Magnetic Switch Keyboard PCB Compatible GH60 Tofu60 Holy60 PC Gaming Keyboard Accessories Custom Gifts
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPMHTmF

This the one I found that’s in my cart

With a 70 pack of 40g Raw’s

👀

[kind helm]

did you find the plate though?

[fluid ravine]

Ok

[fluid ravine]

Yeah but with a gummy O'ring
Wooting can only do friction mounting

Venom has literal cutouts for gummy mount

[kind helm]

shipping a bit more expensive, think its 70 for the pcb then 40 shipping but you can buy plates with the same middle man

[fluid ravine]

So you could have the proper experience of using the gummy oring

[polar girder]

Hypekeyboards said he can make one

[polar girder]

Where what?

[kind helm]

"can send you the link for where i get mine too if mine arrives safely tomorrow cause this site is not like aliexpress or amazon or like other big keyboard sites, i dont wanna tell people to use s44t that is too wacky

[calm pulsar]

on ali there seems to be no plates for frog mini specifically

so Bigsly will likely have to make one on hypekeyboards

[kind helm]

yeee

if that works, then truly inifinite power for venom, with daughter board, the compatibility would be nutty

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m not interested in going down that rabbit hole tho

Hard stop at frog mini for me lol

[kind helm]

LMAO

[calm pulsar]

yeah frog mini is already deep down the rabbit hole xd

[charred cobalt]

Is this good mods?

[kind helm]

nothing wrong with that, get out before stuffing your whole basement with keyboard things.

[harsh dove]

Yeah I could put a venom in my Protagonist case since it has duaghterboard

[tawdry tree]

@kind helm Are you unable to get the cable for Venom’s own daughter board?

Or why do you want to use other daughter boards?

[harsh dove]

But it’d be hard not to wanna use this PCB

[kind helm]

not unable, but if i buy from geon its gonna be more difficult

much more wacky things can happen compare to if i can find compatible parts in us

[tawdry tree]

😍

[tawdry tree]

It’s not a standard cable?

[kind helm]

i think it is

but need to make sure

[tawdry tree]

Oh I see.

[kind helm]

well let me adjust my wording, appearently there can be different cables, so the type needs to match

[tawdry tree]

Why can’t all PCBs look like that, it can’t be that much more expensive for a design like that, surely.

[kind helm]

but i think they are more or less standardized, but i think different versions exist

[tawdry tree]

I love standards that aren’t standard.

[kind helm]

the chat was silent this whole afternoon, i started doing weed then people show up, sorry i can't form good sentence right now

they have like different versions of daughterboard, jst to jst is for c3 version from my understanding, the one venom uses. but there are also c4 and i think c5 and one other version from a different serie of daughterboard that use different connector

[tawdry tree]

Np man

[kind helm]

and for the later version you have like ezmate instead of jst

[tawdry tree]

That’s great. Not confusing whatsoever.

👍

[kind helm]

and apparently the line/ cable sequence can be different in the jst cable( the term is a rough translation from chinese so not sure if that is correct)

[harsh dove]

Haha ikr

[kind helm]

now i think about it, if that just means the number of cable/line within one cable, it is still very simple to understand, i may have just complicated things for myself but i am not sure, gotta check with people first

[uneven cradle]

need more pretty PCBs

[kind helm]

** you can't even see it!**

[uneven cradle]

camo is working then

[strange bloom]

this

[inland jetty]

It would be sick as key caps, wouldn't it?

[inland jetty]

Actually bro, this will work so well camouflaging the hairs and the nasty stuff down there 😂

[elfin garnet]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1322430349203996712

This case looks interesting

[tawdry tree]

Do you find the price tag as interesting?

[sacred elm]

price is gross

[vale mica]

Can anyone recommend a honeycomb case for the 60he pls

[tidal frigate]

Is it worth it?

[sacred elm]

for me hell no

[tidal frigate]

Well 200-250€ propably would be reasonable

[elfin garnet]

Don't know it lol

[tawdry tree]

Converted it was like $500 or something I think

[calm pulsar]

💀

[tawdry tree]

luxury will cost you

• it looks like a spaceship on your desk

[sacred elm]

my minimalist ass could never

[calm pulsar]

the front seems nice, but the back design is too overdone for me

[stark osprey]

Yeah it's too busy, but still nice to see design pushing envelope

[sacred elm]

sure

[polar girder]

$400

[sacred elm]

but what the fuck is that price

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m good

[tawdry tree]

I like functional design, yes it has a whole spring system or whatever but it seems pretty useless

[polar girder]

lol yeah

[sick minnow]

Hi any good keycaps that goes with this combo

[polar girder]

It’s like a case version of a salvation or something

[sick minnow]

I prefer that goes well with rgb

[tawdry tree]

GMK Slasher maybe, or just WOB

[tropic urchin]

from a quick glance this posted earlier would be kinda fire #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[tawdry tree]

Hmm, you want shine through?

[sick minnow]

Yeah

[tawdry tree]

Oh

[sick minnow]

Is that I mainly have a desk cam

[tawdry tree]

Why not stock?

Woot’s shine through caps are very good

boring maybe but the quality is high.

[stark osprey]

Haha those are inbound for me. But red on red might be too busy

[sacred elm]

[stark osprey]

Personally would probably go blank white

[vale mica]

Anyone ?

[tawdry tree]

With those caps, just red light would look nice I think

nothing else

white would look red too

[sick minnow]

Red on red no bueno maybe something with red black and white

[tawdry tree]

Only the Holy60 or its clone.

Not really honeycomb

[vale mica]

Red with a brown case may look nice

[tawdry tree]

but that’s all there is.

[vale mica]

That’s insane

[tawdry tree]

check xvxchannel’s keycaps

google that

[vale mica]

I appreciate it tho , I think imma use the wooting for at least a few months before modding cause it scares me

I haven’t even got it yet lol

[tawdry tree]

they do shine through stuff although not of the highest quality. very budget friendly though

[tawdry tree]

It’s alright

[stark osprey]

You ever find Boneyard on MM bro? I was searching on there and saw your post haha

[tawdry tree]

Nah not yet. I want Boneyard + everything but very few have it/are willing to sell it seems like.

I waited for the R2 to see if kitting was the same but it wasn’t sadly.

Need the Forties 😭

[stark osprey]

Yea was trying to get it earlier instead of waiting for the R2 drop, but the ones I messaged wanted $350 for the set

[elfin garnet]

that's light

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, there are a few resellers it seems

quite a few*

😅

[tawdry tree]

buy one for all of us, thank you! 😘

Does there exist a catalog of all GMK’s sets?

[calm pulsar]

there was some on github I think

[tawdry tree]

Oh yeah

https://matrixzj.github.io/docs/gmk-keycaps

[harsh dove]

yeah thats the only thing that slightly interest me, don't care for the overall aesthetic myself personally

[drifting bronze]

Thats not a choice???

Lol

[visual ore]

Jade Pro

Same thing

Just a recolor

[drifting bronze]

I currently use the jades

Prefer the feel over the lekker v1s

[sacred elm]

no

dashes are regular jades

not jade pros

[visual ore]

Ohhh

[sacred elm]

get jade pros

[visual ore]

Good to know

Kk thanks how are the jade maxes and ks20?

[sacred elm]

no

[visual ore]

Jade Max from what I hear suck

In terms of feeling

Sounds alright though

[vivid star]

Which switch is "quieter" Jade Pro or Geon Raw?

[tropic urchin]

Jade maxes are like buying $500 vodka and you get smirnoff in the bottle instead

[sacred elm]

both are pretty loud but raws are louder

a bit

[vivid star]

Damn, I expected the open bottom design to be slightly quieter

[sacred elm]

no

[tropic urchin]

they're "effectively closed bottom" switches even tho its slightly open still

[vivid star]

Any way to make my PCR case with Jade Pros a bit more quiet? It is quite loud compared to my previous Keychron Q1 Pro with Vertex V1 switches ...

Perheps Zinc Case with some car sound deadening material?

[tropic urchin]

if you're running plastic + PP/PC plate + foam thats basically the holy grail for muted sound

[sacred elm]

it wont be too loud with pcr case 80he

its fine

• you have pc plate

[vivid star]

I have the Jade Pros on my 80HE with the PCR Case and it is super loud compared to my Keychron Q1 ...

[sacred elm]

😳

[tropic urchin]

your only options for quieter are lekker v2s or jade genty switches

[fresh wraith]

is there a case for 80he

[sacred elm]

yes

[visual ore]

Yes

[sacred elm]

gt80 from kbdfans

[vivid star]

Yep thats how it seems ... thanks.

[visual ore]

Bone80 aliexpress is another

[sacred elm]

post your cf plate sound test

[tropic urchin]

they can search for it if they're interested

not quite as scary as sno's TTCs tho

[visual ore]

Seriously though all this talk about a quieter wooting has me worried about what my setup is going to sound like.

TTC with CF plate...

[tropic urchin]

if you get it all stock its very quiet

but some ppl want negative noise so it depends

[sacred elm]

I never really care how loud my wooting is, if it sounds good.

[tropic urchin]

like PCR + PC plate + foam is about as muted as you can possibly get, even with zinc PC plate does alot of work to dampen any sound you'll get

[sacred elm]

Can my cf plate arrive early

smh

[tropic urchin]

wait did you get both

[sacred elm]

no only cf, fr4 is cancelled

[visual ore]

I want a POM plate

To try

[tawdry tree]

In my experience, compared to Jades; Raw HEs are more affected by what’s between the plate and PCB i.e foam, silicone or nothing.

[sacred elm]

pc plate literally kills jade pro/raw sound

[tropic urchin]

even with metal case which is wild

[sacred elm]

especially raws

[tawdry tree]

I disagree

[sacred elm]

raws sound a lot better in my 60he, than my 80he

because 60he has steel plate

[tawdry tree]

steel makes it so sharp

[sacred elm]

I prefer sharp sound than muted clack

[tawdry tree]

I like mutted clack

My neighbors too probably

[tropic urchin]

just 3 layer tape mod it and it takes away most sharpness you'll experience with stiffer plates, works for CF pretty well

[icy dew]

Is there any combination to get anything close to a creamy sound

[tawdry tree]

cream

[cyan lark]

[tropic urchin]

hipyo probably has a rec for that, but other handlubing a clacky switch probably not

[sacred elm]

probably jade pros and lube them

[cyan lark]

Isn't that "marbly"? I don't think I can get much consensus on these descriptors, other than clacky.

[quartz current]

I'd strongly veer people away from that guy.

[tropic urchin]

not a perfect science, but thats about all you got really

[tawdry tree]

I have no clue what creamy is supposed to be to this day.

[cyan lark]

Creamy shudder and thock seem the most ill defined, yet the most sought after.

[tropic urchin]

I dont like him either, but just being honest

[quartz current]

Toh Lewis? Tow Lewis?

Or if you wanna take it basics

On 'thock' 'cream'

[visual ore]

Thock and Clack I have a idea

[sacred elm]

hipyo 🤮

[quartz current]

Shwoobs.

[visual ore]

What the heck is creamy or marbly

[cyan lark]

Literally nobody knows.

[tropic urchin]

i dont think anyone hates hipyo more than I do

[quartz current]

latter is described PE foam driven sounds.

kind of
