[stone flax]

im going crazy

i didnt ask for a colorblind test on my keycaps

wth is this

[glacial wind]

Soon the couponing shall be upon us

[tawdry tree]

real or concept render? that’s sick

if you can’t center the PCB in the Salv, just friction mount 🔥🔥

@stone flax

[stone flax]

NO

[tawdry tree]

it’s genius bro, you just don’t see it

[dreamy belfry]

Can anyone tell me when usps will deliver my alumaze60

[calm pulsar]

domikey have nice looking sets however the quality is meh once I compared with gmk, the sound as well, esp spacebar

[glacial wind]

I wish translucent pbt sets was a thing but they’re all abs

I just hope the translucence hides the shine a bit better

[fallen pecan]

shine is less noticable if you get the frosted/matte tops

[harsh dove]

Imo it does

[fast oriole]

Geon raw he feel so good

[river bridge]

Shipping price tho

[fast oriole]

?

[river bridge]

Like $25

[fast oriole]

Get from divinikey shipping is like 5$

I bought from them its hella cheap

[river bridge]

Oh shit I was looking at geonworks

Geon raw he?

[fallen pecan]

kbdfans on ali also sells raws

[river bridge]

They sold out on divinikey

Looking at kbd

[near barn]

does anybody know if the magnetic jades springs(not pro) actuation force start and end? i'm under the impression that it's basically an l35 but can't find much info on it

[sacred elm]

30/50

[near barn]

thank you!

[sacred elm]

its slightly heavier than L45

[glacial wind]

going to add some sticky rices to my ali order today

[sacred elm]

🤮

[glacial wind]

i need to get above $69 to use the coupon code lmao

so must as well throw in a cheapie $3 10 pack since i can use it for comparison tests

[chilly mural]

yey

[honest flume]

what did you guys think of the wooting80 stock stabs? pretty good pre lube? if so i just plan on using a syringe and plugging them

on the module

[glacial wind]

yeah they're fine, although i always redo lube on stock stabs just because factory stab jobs are hit or miss

[paper bloom]

NICE

Meanwhile

im just prepping myself and sharpening up my skills

[quartz jay]

Setup is nice btw!

[tawdry tree]

That’s good! Then you can compare them to the Lucifers. 👍

[astral fox]

so i switched from the stock wooting switches and to the lekker 45s V2, will my keyboard’s performance be affected at all, like will 0.1 mm actuation still be accurate

[tawdry tree]

Performance will be exactly the same.

[astral fox]

okay thank you

[tawdry tree]

👍

[burnt comet]

My first build

never switching back 😭

[wheat mortar]

looks awesome

[burnt comet]

ty thought it would be alot more difficult but no was so easy

[wheat mortar]

no idea I haven't modded a single kb so far, but I want to order an wooting 60 he and just change some stuff but I like the keycaps u've used

[burnt comet]

i had a ducky one 2 mini so i bought the wooting swaped the plate to a tofu60 redux added kilmat foam and milktooth ws dash switches

and man this thing is amazing

[wheat mortar]

oh so we basically kinda have the same idea lmfao

[burnt comet]

its so heavy lmao

[wheat mortar]

wanted to get like an light blue / baby blue tofu60 case and white keycaps with some ws dash switches

[wheat mortar]

yeah it's better for me cause I don't like to accidently move my kb

[burnt comet]

thats why i love how heavy it is

[wheat mortar]

do u lose any performance when changing the switches?

[burnt comet]

no not with these they are like the stock 1s the wooting come with but sound better

[wheat mortar]

okay cool so I don't do anything wrong at all lmaoo

I'll most likely just gonna change to the tofu60 case & change some switches to the ws dash that's all

just trying to find some cool keycaps

[burnt comet]

i bought these long time ago

cant remember what they are called

[wheat mortar]

I'm not sure what kind of color schema I wanna go for with my setup

I've bought white monitor stand, completely white pc (still haven't built it lmfao) and a white gpro superlight

was thinking about some cool, baby blue with white schema

[burnt comet]

Had to match the mouse

[wheat mortar]

yeah that looks awesome cause it fits to the mouse

mine is just full white 😭

[burnt comet]

that would look fire

[wheat mortar]

yeah I kinda wanna go that path

some light grey, n mainly baby blue + white

[burnt comet]

i was going to get like sum silver or grey but they didnt have the mouse color no more so i got the white 1

😭

[wheat mortar]

😭

u think it's worth it getting the brass weight bar?

[burnt comet]

i got it so yeah i like it

[wheat mortar]

alright appreciate

[burnt comet]

still kinda heavy with out it

[wheat mortar]

i'll just buy it and test it out

don't like it when my kb moves around on my desk

[burnt comet]

yeah it was anoyying

[wheat mortar]

it is

kinda want with arrow keys but there's only 60he and 80he

[burnt comet]

i like the 60 cuz my desk not to big but 65 is nice

80 is big

[wheat mortar]

yeah 65 and 60 are perfect for me

ion like 80+

[burnt comet]

sadly no 65

[wheat mortar]

real

[burnt comet]

alr man well u have a goodnight im off

[wheat mortar]

goodnight

[kind helm]

the ones i have, i hate

[surreal edge]

hey i can pair any weird coil cable with 80he?

[kind helm]

i tried the v2 today, was hoping to build a plateless he board. it functions. but idk if it was the problem with doing plateless or just the switches, the build was very loud.

like noise complaint level of loudness...

[glacial wind]

yeah i assume they'll be very mediocre, just going to have them for the mod site comparisons

[kind helm]

the sound is decent though, like on the recording with polyfill its actually not bad

but the loudness is unbearable.

[kind helm]

you are doing it!!! lets go

#🔧│keyboard_modding message this is polyfill, salvation, no plate, venom pcb, sticky rice v2, and pbt keycaps

[glacial wind]

yeah it's just a mid box stem switch

only reason i'd ever buy them is just because i know there's going to be a lot of random people asking "what about sticky rice v2" because of that one youtube video

[kind helm]

i dont even know if people will be able to find some of the older stuff, i was looking for sticky rice v1 earlier the day, because v1 has the same legs but with open botton

which i assume should make the board much more quiet, but i can't find them on ali or google

i found it on switchoddity or something along that line, but it costs 2 dollars per switch

braindead price

[jade narwhal]

is there anyone who has bought the lucifer switches made by geon？

[kind helm]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[tawdry tree]

No, not any. It has to be a quality cable if you wish to use 8K and LEDs on max brightness.

[tawdry tree]

The Sticky Rices Josh has are the V2s by Haimu whereas the ones on Ali are by Hejin. Two different switches fyi.

Hejin’s will be similar or identical to Lucifers

[kind helm]

oh yea

[glacial wind]

oh he's talking about the other sticky rice

[tawdry tree]

and Haimu’s are different entirely.

[kind helm]

though its kinda funny that they are both "everglide"

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, the ones with the clip in mounting pins.

[tawdry tree]

Three different switches by two different manufacturers under the same name. Lovely right?

[kind helm]

the stems have slight different colors

i think the ones by haimu have deeper pink

[tawdry tree]

Yeah slightly.

Haimu V1 (open bottom) - Haimu V2 (closed bottom) - Hejin (closed bottom)

[kind helm]

why you keeping them if you dont use them, hand them over

btw is the v1 a bit more loose? just curious since i can't even find them on sell anymore

[tawdry tree]

I probably will use them from time to time.

[kind helm]

you enjoy pain? If the drill thing works out I am never taking them apart unless I am ready to throw them away

[tawdry tree]

You could ask milktooth if they have any left. They stocked V1s previously, that’s where I got mine from funnily enough.

[kind helm]

thank you ❤️ gonna give it a try

[tawdry tree]

There are numerous recolors of them as well but none are available outside of China sadly.

[kind helm]

hmmmm you just open my mind

[tawdry tree]

🤯

[kind helm]

I thought it was a small thing by haimu. I gonna ask around and see if i can find some on taobao

but holy shit... DHL shipping is 40 dollars

oh man.........

i pray the drill thing works

[tawdry tree]

Yeah shipping is a pain

They are dirt cheap on TB though.

[kind helm]

0.3 yuan each so its like 0.05 usd each

south pole pointing down it says, not sure if this works with wooting/venom

[tawdry tree]

With Wooting yes, with Venom not 100% sure but I think it supports both polarities as well.

[kind helm]

man i got on milktooth and see black knight, it makes my brain wander toward jade knight by arc again

dare I say king of he switch in terms of sound and most likely feel as well at the moment.

[tawdry tree]

Chasing a perfection that always changes.

🥰

[kind helm]

name of this hobby

[tawdry tree]

Black Knights (or one of its many clones) are probably on TB as well.

[tawdry tree]

real shit

[kind helm]

yeee honestly after sno, arc, and mj recommended ali, that is always the first place i go to, if ali has it, most likely its gonna be the cheapest

can't do taobao without crazy shipping price though, because it would have to go through a middle man for shipping and the cost just flies to the sky

[tawdry tree]

Everything is from China, and for anywhere outside of Asia, Ali is the best option.

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, you can order a lot of stuff and ship it in one go which isn’t really that bad but then you do need to buy a lot of shit.

Most popular forwarders have like a 3month free storage option

[kind helm]

there are actually a few i haven't even hear of, skyline and master?

[tawdry tree]

Both by Hejin, both closed bottom (top housing either very similar or identical to Raws).

The Skylines have a little thingy

a nipple in the bottom housing

so when you bottom out, the magnet hits the nipple and not the flat bottom

[kind helm]

sounds naughty

[surreal edge]

can you suggest some qlty cable of other brand i already ordered 80he...it is in transit if i order cable separately its cost me too much any suggestion for weird cable?

[tawdry tree]

idk how else to describe it lol

[kind helm]

there is like service where people group up to make like a larger shipment, for me personally sounds like too much work

[tawdry tree]

If you want something stylish, go with Woot’s cables

[kind helm]

because i used to play badminton in us, and people had to buy a lot of the stuff from china as well. the stuff available in us are all essentially trash...

[tawdry tree]

It is too much work

[kind helm]

I just learned that from our "supplier"

[surreal edge]

then coil cable is just for style i thought it give me connectivity benifit then normal cable which come with on box can be used for full bright rgb and 8hz

[kind helm]

wooting's cable is actually pretty decent in terms of price unlike everything else they sell. you get a discount from the keyboard you brought and they give you both the coiled and straight cable

[tawdry tree]

It is just for looks, yes. The stock cable is perfect for everything.

[surreal edge]

and i have not get my 80he ....can you tell as compare to other brand keyboard wooting rgb is bright? cuz i use laptop keypad for playing fps games from 2-3 years now direct upgrade to wooting 80he wo i dont have idea about rgb or keyboard that much

[kind helm]

coiled cable actually should make the performance worse, since longer cable -> weaker connection

to make the cable coiled up and still have a decent length to it, the actual length of the cable is much longer compare to straight cable.

[tawdry tree]

It is very bright.

[surreal edge]

oka bro thanks

[tawdry tree]

Of course you can dim it in Wootility if you find it to be too bright.

[kind helm]

or use fn

[tawdry tree]

true

[knotty iron]

Raw HE is made by Hejin too?

[surreal edge]

i need bright cuz i planned to buy xvx topographic keycap that has ninja style legends so ig i have to use with 100% brightness for photoshoot....otherwise in game time rgb do not matter that much

[tawdry tree]

Yes.

[knotty iron]

nice

[tawdry tree]

Raptors, Raws, Lekker V2s, Lucifers, Deng Gods, Everglide Sticky Rices, Skylines, Magnetos (not TTC) just to name a few.

Black Knights.

[rapid sedge]

anyone have suggestions for good quality all black keycaps that they would recommend 🦧

[pulsar plinth]

im struggling to get switches out of the pc plate even with a switch puller, any tips?

[tropic urchin]

Will involve taking the keyboard apart, but if you unscrew the switch plate from the PCB should be easier to remove

[sacred elm]

do you have metal puller

[pulsar plinth]

i did that, but the plate flexing made it hard to get leverage, im worried the plate will snap if i use more force

[surreal edge]

hey bro you have suggestion for better rgb which swtich has better rgb with better clear sound

[pulsar plinth]

yes

[sacred elm]

use more force

[tropic urchin]

Probably RAWs tbh

[sacred elm]

wiggle the switch and then pull up

[tropic urchin]

To add onto what Shafie said I’d use 1 hand to stabilize plate and other to wiggle and pull up from north to south

[pulsar plinth]

ok thank you, i will try that

it worked, thank you both

[tropic urchin]

🫡

[sacred elm]

jade pros

[tropic urchin]

Wait where’s the light diffuser and why isn’t it hitting your monitor????

[sacred elm]

geonworks

[cyan lark]

Not raws

Pewwwew and it’s gone

[tropic urchin]

It’s fucked bc even if you know to watch for it, it still happens

What a weird design choice

The window nobody asked for (I’m probably going to be corrected any second now)

[cyan lark]

I learned yesterday that KoM Pom also has windows similar to raws 😿

Didn’t lose any but started lubing and my heart sank

[sacred elm]

hope my dog didnt eat those windows

theyre still somewhere in my room

[tropic urchin]

I’d try vacuuming 😅

[surreal edge]

hey dude can you tell rgb diff between lekker raw and jade max...i checked jade max online review they said its cheap material .....

[sacred elm]

forget jade maxes

raws have slightly better rgb

than lekkers

[tropic urchin]

Max will be your best RGB but you’re paying for $500 vodka and getting Smirnoff instead

[surreal edge]

they gonna updrage jade maxx? solve the current gen problem? should i wait for trasparent he switch?

[tropic urchin]

Don’t hold your breath

[sacred elm]

they need to completely change the switch

with different materials

[surreal edge]

ig i can understand what you say though i dont drink

[sacred elm]

even tho they said that their team had some optimizations, its a lie

[surreal edge]

then logically it is possible to make full transparent switch with good material with no issue

[tropic urchin]

Better analogy: if you get maxes you’re basically scamming yourself bc the switches aren’t smooth or good for the price (spoken from experience)

[sage flicker]

ordered the POM KOMs through aliexpress. Didn't wait for tomm's potential sale, because the thing is already 10% off, so not even sure it'll get a deeper discount.

but...the other site hasn't responded to my refund request, kind of annoying. Gonna do a chargeback.

only ordering from Ali from now on. lol

[tropic urchin]

Jade pros are the Gateron switch to buy, but since you value RGB just get RAWs for best overall switch for your needs

[surreal edge]

yeah thats why asking .....should i change lekker after getting wooting or explore hobby more think about new swtiches?

[tropic urchin]

I don’t like lekkers which is why I went module

Up to you tho

If you like clacky switches, buy raws and see in 6 months time if there’s something new that catches your eye

[surreal edge]

i can go with module but ig i purchase via module then i have to spend 35-40 dollar more than preassembled my country taxes sucks

[surreal edge]

idk what suit me....cuz im using laptop keypad from3 years now 1st keyboard is 80he 🥹

i use a keyboard last 7-8 years a a normal office membrane keyboard

[sacred elm]

get frost case+module and raws separately 🔥

[surreal edge]

your are telling ?

[surreal edge]

i that travel case and metal case that why i order black one i order white previously but i cant wait for v2 white to i take black one....

[cyan lark]

We got him boys!

[sacred elm]

ah if you want metal then fine

[tropic urchin]

Buy whatever is cheaper, there’s sound tests on wooting’s YT so you can get a rough idea what appeals more to you

[surreal edge]

🥹 idk i feel all are almost same...ig i need to test by own

hey can i black paint 80he feets? idk why wooting is giving white feet with black case

[cyan lark]

People experiencing whiplash seeing optimum tech using a highground keyboard in his latest video

[tropic urchin]

Ppl monitor that man way too much 🤣

He’s the gaming tech Ja Rule I swear to god

[cyan lark]

I think it’s gonna be tough to get paint to stick to them, I think they’re silicone

There are throngs of 80he owners still dying for him to review it. I don’t understand.

What if he said keyboard actually bad? Would they bin them?

Ugh I wanna go tap on my loud board to start my day but there’s a guest sleeping next to my office 😔

[thick axle]

hello everynyan. i've been thinking of pairing the he80 with the gateron jade maxes, and a pair of southfacing legends, like these, in a raw zinc case. will the north facing RGB be good enough, considering the jade maxes are transparent?

[glacial wind]

wooting led is on north side, so even with jade max or similar the light might not be super bright

i don't think i've seen anyone else try it though so you'd be first, especially since the jade max are very friction and rough so people don't really recommend buying them

[chilly mural]

Maybe when wootility v5 out of beta and into full release?

Because that's the time 80he would be in stock

[thick axle]

I think the wallnut and raw zinc look would be absolutely phenomenal all together. We'll see. My batch arrives mid march. I've ordered normal north facing legends as well just in case the south facing would be troubling. Thanks for the input 😎

[chilly mural]

.... and need to be restock if his review is positive

[glacial wind]

I wonder if he's just not worrying about the 80he review because of conflict of interest now that he has a wooting product

[cyan lark]

That’s a reasonable point, but yeah I was leaning towards something like Jed’s theory

[chilly mural]

Could also be the case

[sacred elm]

he will probably post review when his case wont be available anymore

[glacial wind]

the way his case is selling i think it may always be available lol

[sacred elm]

lol

right

[chilly mural]

Im itching to get optimum case lmao

Just for venom/60he pro

[glacial wind]

they said they'd eventually stop production once popularity for it drops but it's the best case they have in their store right now so i think it'll just always be a popular pick

[cyan lark]

It is handsome but I’m glad they sold the friction fit separately

[glacial wind]

my real test will come when calders 80he stonewashed edition comes out one day, then I have to decide between buying that vs. cerakote my current raw zinc

[chilly mural]

Raw seems too industrial for my taste

Or zinc case for that matter

[glacial wind]

just embrace the industrial theme and pair it with some ferrari red keycaps

mm

[cyan lark]

I’ve come around to it. It’s gonna be my office one.

Putting some wob on mine because I’m boring as hell

[chilly mural]

Wob wob

[quasi hinge]

I did the same

[quasi hinge]

Wob

For office

Stealth enthusiast

Although my caps lock has the light indicator now

[quasi hinge]

I just got my cerakote zinc back

Ill post some shots of the cerakote so you may see

[cyan lark]

Please do. I don’t know much of anything about it

[quasi hinge]

I can share what I have now

But I have pics Ill take close up shortly after the unbox

This was the process with some milling involved

It was originally black

[glacial wind]

yeah cerakote looks really nice, although it will cost more than just buying the stonewashed edition whenever calder releases that which is why i'm tossing up between what i want to do with my raw zinc

[quasi hinge]

Tungsten and titanium cerakote with little black

[quasi hinge]

Doing it yourself lets you create something unique

[cyan lark]

Wild stuff there asd!

[quasi hinge]

Let me take some shots

Moment

[cyan lark]

No rush I live here

[tropic urchin]

They still kinda remind me of strawberries but more I look at it the more I like them

A really nice emerald green would sell me tho

[glacial wind]

they do green options too actually

[chilly mural]

Black Sour Ruby...

[glacial wind]

although not sure if it's emerald green

[inner wren]

Hello

Ihaswooting

[tropic urchin]

I’m between the GMK British racing and the Wuque studio stellar as my favorite secondary caps

[glacial wind]

their greens are more brighter color

[tropic urchin]

So many options not enough boards

[cyan lark]

I have more cap sets than usable boards right now and I feel bad about it

[harsh dove]

Pbtfans Emma

[glacial wind]

their blue one is really tempting too honestly

[tropic urchin]

I don’t need it

I don’t need it

[cyan lark]

You might need it

[tropic urchin]

That green is 😳

[tropic urchin]

If I get green GT I’d be super tempted ngl

[harsh dove]

Did you see my frog yesterday?

[tropic urchin]

I don’t believe so

[harsh dove]

I had it on there

[tropic urchin]

Lemme roll back time

[cyan lark]

Oh that's a beautiful shade of green there Cam

Are they that semi-transparent look?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[tropic urchin]

I think they missed an opportunity to make the legends golden and make it pop even more

But I may be biased

[harsh dove]

Lol the legends are a cream white

[tropic urchin]

The cream doesn’t look bad but green and gold is 😮‍💨

[harsh dove]

Yeah I could see it

Lil Zelda theme or sumn lol

[cyan lark]

Bit dressy but you're not wrong

[tropic urchin]

I may or may not be influenced by my watch for that choice

[cyan lark]

You just gonna say that and not share?

[harsh dove]

I think someone just bought these for their Frost PCR 80HE

[tropic urchin]

SBGH271 for sauce

[chilly mural]

Dumb plan, mixing gmk tuzi and Lychee.

[tropic urchin]

Can also post a pic when in a few mins

[cyan lark]

Oh pretty

Rikka is a beaut

Not my favorite GS dial, but their gold fucks

[chilly mural]

Dayum

Buying keyboard and watch aren't soo different afterall

[glacial wind]

yeah raire was saying about wanting to buy one of the domikey translucent sets once the sale starts

to pair with frost

[tropic urchin]

My favorite part is with that watch you get 3 different dial colors depending on light

[harsh dove]

Yeah was that set or the hydro slime set

Which has a nice blue to it

[glacial wind]

i do like that cryo light blue color. Would be tempted to get it over the ruby red if the red wasn't on such large discount

[cyan lark]

Who's running a sale on caps soon?

An Ali store?

[glacial wind]

aliexpress winter sale starts in 90 mins

[harsh dove]

How do you feel about domikey quality? I’ve actually never tried them

[glacial wind]

kprepublic has a bunch of stuff with decent discounts

[cyan lark]

Gotcha thanks. Still haven't taken the dip into Ali land... yet.

[glacial wind]

i think pretty good quality wise. Never had an issue with them for legends or warping

they don't sound same as gmk though

so domikey is using different thickness or abs formulation

[chilly mural]

Soo sexy

[glacial wind]

honestly my problem is i'm always tempted to buy the all in one sets even though I have no purpose for any of the extras lol

[tropic urchin]

@cyan lark @chilly mural

[cyan lark]

Cool as hell my man, thanks for sharing.

[quasi hinge]

Tungsten case

Titanium craft

[cyan lark]

Beautiful, but I'd be too worried about getting that thing jacked. I stay a bit lower profile (and tax braket) w/ my Hamilton 😉

[harsh dove]

Oh okay interesting, if you could describe it would you say the sound is like clackier or deeper?

[cyan lark]

So what's the deal w/ the craft? Gotta ask.

[tropic urchin]

Depending on where you live ye, nobody knows grand seiko unless you’re a watch guy, most thieves only care about Rollies

Im not affiliated in any way

[glacial wind]

i think @calm pulsar has pairs of both gmk/domikey that he can explain better, I sold all my gmk so it's been ages since I compared them

[harsh dove]

Ah okay fair

[calm pulsar]

I sold my domikey not long ago haha

[harsh dove]

You sold all your GMK? Didn’t even keep one set?

[glacial wind]

nah i have acid sweat hands so all abs keycaps get shined up for me which i don't like

[harsh dove]

Ah bummer

[quasi hinge]

@inland jetty @kind helm

[cyan lark]

I live deep in the woods but I have to travel to Boston on a semi regular basis. That is good to know 🙂

[tropic urchin]

Ooh so you’re a NEer too

[calm pulsar]

I mean they do for everyone

[cyan lark]

Oh yeah, get ready for the polar vortex next week my friend

[reef oar]

think it's time zone based, starts in 18h for me

[tropic urchin]

I probably wouldn’t think too much bringing it to Boston, but you’d have to fend off against the solicitors that come up to you tho

[glacial wind]

i think my hands are extra acid. Like my old g502 has my thumb groves melted into the plastic lol

[chilly mural]

Just look poor

[tropic urchin]

Also helps being 6’4 so you’re not an easy looking target so most ppl try for someone else

[tropic urchin]

I’ll bring my keeb too good advice

[chilly mural]

Tbf i live in a third world country

So it's slightly more acceptable to look poor

[cyan lark]

Almost that tall, but drunk people on the subway/angry folks don't always care. I miss the city less and less every year I'm away from it.

[tropic urchin]

Socks and sandals making a come back??

[tropic urchin]

Yeah that’s fair, cities have always been rowdy, but last 4 years def haven’t been kind to the major metros

[chilly mural]

City too much... cant stand being with too much people

[cyan lark]

Problem is I'm only really traveling there for work so I try to look a bit more presentable than I usually am. Not like I'm dudded up, but I don't look like a total schlub I guess.

[glacial wind]

hrm that's interesting actually, didn't know it was timezone based

[chilly mural]

Middle of nowhere better

[glacial wind]

that means people in australia get advantage for starting aliexpress sales earlier

[tropic urchin]

I see a drone somewhere here

[cyan lark]

This ain't Jersey

[chilly mural]

That's actually light house

[harsh dove]

Looks like Tarkov before they removed the fog

[chilly mural]

Beyond that is sea~

[tropic urchin]

“Aliens” are worldwide 😏

[cyan lark]

There are still some neighbors I try to avoid out here, though.

[tropic urchin]

Fren going for a swim

[chilly mural]

Waow

[tropic urchin]

Probably having more fun than the rest of us

[chilly mural]

My location I'm more worried about snake, scorpion, and any venomous thing

But venom 60he seems nice tho

[cyan lark]

Oh I could not deal w/ those. Most of my family is out in AZ, not for me.

And if you say AUS then 💀 😱

[chilly mural]

[tropic urchin]

Australia is the final boss of Earth

[cyan lark]

Folks out there are a different breed

[tropic urchin]

Only missing those 2 ft Japanese killer hornets

[cyan lark]

Hey we got rid of those!

A 2024 W

[tropic urchin]

Thank god, those keep me up at night as a wasp hater

[chilly mural]

Should be 2025 on aus by now

[quasi hinge]

Forgot to mention, that its also tied to the UAP hearings

[cyan lark]

Just a plate replacement shot, thought the KoMs looked neat against the CF

This plate really does eat the RGB. Can hardly tell it’s on in the daytime.

[tropic urchin]

That’s how it feels with CF + Pros

Everything is super dark but idc that much anymore

[cyan lark]

I was vaguely curious how viable painting CF would be

Get that nice reflective white back

It’s not a dealbreaker, I mostly care about knowing which profile I’m on which I get from the light bar

I should try putting some pros in and see how they sound in person on CF

[sacred elm]

did you get fr4 too?

[cyan lark]

Yeah, haven’t put it in anything yet

[sage flicker]

huh?

[cyan lark]

My plan was to go FR4 and pros in my work board

[tropic urchin]

They’ll be a little softer than your TTC but will be still decently loud

[cyan lark]

Sorry for the ping, just excited about a new KoM covert

[sage flicker]

o yes. I bought a few (8 pieces of Magneto) and they seemed gud, wondering how Pom will do.

[cyan lark]

I should A/B magnetos/mag Pom as well

[chilly mural]

Ttc pom?

[cyan lark]

Yeah

[sage flicker]

u prefer the Pomegranate over the Mags? 😄

just more lube right? slightly diff typing feel

[cyan lark]

Different material

[sage flicker]

prob comparable

ah

self lubricating thing

[cyan lark]

Magnetos have nylon and pc housing, Pom is Pom

[stone flax]

💀

they just become smoother over time as the plastic on plastic contact smoothens each part out

[barren wasp]

[stone flax]

self lubricating is so sussy

im going to self lubricate

[sage flicker]

yes that is def misleading lol. I thought secret lube was leaking out of the plastic

[cyan lark]

Sound test plz

[sage flicker]

[stone flax]

ya no, i remember creams got a lot of flack for boasting they were self-lubricating giving the people sometimes the impression they dont need lube

[cyan lark]

By that logic sandpaper is self lubricating

[silver grove]

is there any info on these switches? https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005007688538084.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.41abOiLMOiLMhs&algo_pvid=47be3f18-8415-4751-ad01-1fab20a6af56&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch|query_from%3A

[sage flicker]

ok so the POMs weren't gonna have the winter sale, because that one has the banner saying "upcoming winter sale".

coulda purchased it yesterday then!

[fallen pecan]

old switches, came out december ish last year

[silver grove]

ah okay just saw them and was wondering if they were something new

[fallen pecan]

theyre open bottoms so you know they old

[silver grove]

i mean geon raws are also open bottoms so doesnt have to mean anything

[fallen pecan]

OKT mag switches on sale starting 10 Jan, also rated for 0.01mm RT: Azure, Azure Pro, Purple Star (OKT is a sister brand of IYX / IROK)

[chilly mural]

Mmm, more box stem

[fallen pecan]

purple star specs

sound test here, minus the Azure Pros: https://streamable.com/tfbr24

[glacial wind]

you can use winter sale coupons on non winter sale items

the winter sale coupons are just general site coupons

[fallen pecan]

eyeing any other winter sale deals?

[glacial wind]

just keycaps really. Hard to say no to domikey ruby for $65

only other thing on my 'to buy' list is a cf plate at some point

[fallen pecan]

aight, im just window shopping for 8k cables. the ali listings look a lot sussier than taobao's

[solar tundra]

I can rly suggest to upgrade to better Keycaps if you play on Stock or Cheap ones. The Difference in feel and typing experience is insane.

[visual ore]

Same haha

My Cart at the moment

[glacial wind]

lol how many domikey kits are you buying

[paper bloom]

Happy new year

[glacial wind]

hrm swagkeys is working on a knight v3 stab apparently

i wonder what they'll change for v3

[harsh dove]

I never even bought V2’s lol

[tropic urchin]

I’ll petition for gold wire and gold housing

[harsh dove]

All my knights are v1s

Yall need to chill with gold

Black and chrome accents for me

[glacial wind]

you guys and your weird stab color obsession lol

[tropic urchin]

Mostly memeing but I already got my wire

[tropic urchin]

I’m pretty sure it’s just me that cares about it lol

[harsh dove]

Probably

[glacial wind]

you and bigsley with his black stabs

[harsh dove]

Oh yeah lol

[tropic urchin]

Oh shit big is a gold wire stan too?

[harsh dove]

Nah he just wants black everything

[glacial wind]

if they sold wire in black he'd do that too

[harsh dove]

I have some black wires actually

[tropic urchin]

Taking back the pepebusiness then

[harsh dove]

Forget which they came with

[tropic urchin]

The one thing I’d really want is a starry night looking stab similar to the designer ones those are pretty baller

[harsh dove]

Damn that Ali store don’t got Alu plates for 80HE

[tropic urchin]

Nope unfortunately

Closest is brass probably

[harsh dove]

They not getting my moneys then

Brass is … brass

I have a brass plate for 60% already

[tropic urchin]

Brass is… (br)ass ftfy

[sage flicker]

ah ok. How much would the coupon have been? 10%?

[tropic urchin]

It sounded interesting atleast

[harsh dove]

The cf plate don’t have flex cuts in it tho right?

[visual ore]

Just one xD

[polar girder]

I am I just missed v1 SW Knight STABS

So I’m stuck with silver lol

[polar girder]

That’s sick

[polar girder]

Black and brass everything

My black is even black and brass lol

I don’t like chrome gold so brass is good substitute

[harsh dove]

lol fair

You know Lian Li

Pc hardware brand

That’s my aesthetic basically

Minimal, black, chrome

[glacial wind]

depends how much you buy. For $69 it's $7, etc

didn't kdbfans say they'll eventually sell 80he plates

i think someone went and asked them before lol

[harsh dove]

Probably with flex cuts

I mean they making a case so i don’t see why not

[glacial wind]

i think they learnt to not make flex cuts now since their newer stuff doesn't have flex cuts

[harsh dove]

Yeah true

I like the new black alu plate I got from them

[glacial wind]

yeah checking my messages, shafie was the one who asked them and they said they'll make cf and fr4 80he plates

[harsh dove]

Why is cf and fr4 so popular all of a sudden it seems?

Did I miss something

[glacial wind]

not sure actually, i think they just got requested it a lot for stiff options maybe

[harsh dove]

Fair, just seems like those materials are more popular in the last month or two

[fallen pecan]

max clack is trending

[harsh dove]

Seems so

Few months ago, everyone was like “hOw I GIt ThOCcyy?”

Now everyone moving to clack

[chilly mural]

Clack are the way

[harsh dove]

The great realization occurred

[polar girder]

Their fans are goated lol

Have 10 p28’s in my system rn lol

But only like 3 wires

So good

[harsh dove]

Yeah I just love their aesthetic

[glacial wind]

seeing people with cf plate does make me jealous though. I want cf plate

[harsh dove]

🤣

[polar girder]

Cuz HE can’t thock

[harsh dove]

Basically

Can only be muted or foamy or both

Which me no like

[polar girder]

Just soft plastics

And all the foam

Based on this I still think I’ll prefer PP TO nylon but need to try nylon to plate

Then order the hype plate for venom and order venom and Raw

[harsh dove]

Nylon gonna be pretty clacky I think

[glacial wind]

alright domikey ruby on the way. Not bad $52 for them after discount stack

[chilly mural]

Happy new year!

[glacial wind]

a happy translucent new year indeed!

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m half tempted to just order the PP plate for venom and not waste my time swapping plates lol

☠️

Anyone want a three pack of frog mini/Wooting plates? Alu/nylon/pp?

[visual ore]

You have the discount already?

[glacial wind]

yeah seems like it activates based on region, so in korea it's past midnight already

[harsh dove]

I put Alu in my frog last night and idk if I like it

Something feels off about it

[polar girder]

Yeah and I want soft, low tones

Seems opposite

I do enjoy stiff feel but yeah

[visual ore]

Damn okay well I got 16 more hours

[hollow topaz]

hey someone have a link for ceramic key?

[little glen]

cerakeys

[polar girder]

You mean like you want us to go to Google and type in ceramic keycaps for you and copy and paste the link?

[harsh dove]

[sleek wagon]

I know this is a wooting discord but can someone give me some guidance on a non wooting product lol

Idk where else to ask

[solar tundra]

What you need

[sleek wagon]

Do you or anybody else know if the tofu redux plate will work with the bm60 poker pcb

[harsh dove]

Should work

Everything lines up from what I'm seeing

[sleek wagon]

Are you confident enough that I can buy them right now lol

[harsh dove]

Yeah I'm pretty confident

lik 90%

[sleek wagon]

Thank god

The tofu redux pcb is only white and the bm60 doesn't have any black plates and im building in a holy60 so everything needs to be the same color lol

[harsh dove]

Even says it works with GH60 plates/cases which works with Wooting and that bm60 poker has the same layout

[sleek wagon]

Perfect

You guys are exactly what I needed

Thank you

[harsh dove]

No problem

These are kinda hot

[polar girder]

Yeah

Cute

[harsh dove]

Can you use one of these with venom?

[tropic urchin]

Cream alphas look nais

[solar tundra]

Best Stock Switches you dont need to Hand Lube?

[visual ore]

My TTC POM switches are here \o/

And man they are smooth and not wiggly

[chilly mural]

Geon Raw HE

It's prelubed

So no need to worry about that

[solar tundra]

I mean many Switches are prelubed

But prob every Switch feel better Hand lubed

but the raw hes are the only ones where people say they would just lube the springs

[chilly mural]

Hmm, not really sure what switch comes to mind about that

[visual ore]

TTC POM don't feel like they need to be handlubed tbh

It's not on a board yet though

[stone flax]

just lube the springs

[solar tundra]

haha

[glacial wind]

yeah if you're happy with the stock feel you don't have to handlube. It's just up to you really when it comes to handlubing stuff

[visual ore]

Going to wait till I get the board and see how a quick sound test goes

[hollow heart]

yall my 80he is arriving friday lets fucking go

excuse my language

[tropic urchin]

That would be pretty accurate, if you hand lube the RAWs as you would for most other switches it doesn’t really sound any different. They have probably the best stock lube of the switches I’ve tried thus far.

[tropic urchin]

Excuse your fucking French young man

Arriving by Friday is pretty nice joke aside

[hollow heart]

dont play with me

i been waiting for over 2 months

[tropic urchin]

I waited 4 + an extra week and others waited longer I get it

[hollow heart]

i already got my switches lubed and im ready to get it setup

rn i got a glorious gmmk and im excited to have a decent keyboard for once

[tropic urchin]

Does it sound as bad as some of the GMMK3 reviews

[hollow heart]

its a gmmk not a gmmk3

it dont sound terrible but the keys are wobbly as hell, sometimes clicks like dont even register. and sometimes multiple presses at once dont register.

i mean it dont sound terrible to me

but i have no frame of reference as my 80he will be my first custom keyboard

[high sphinx]

Hey guys i have a question when using wooting friction pad in the tofu redux case do you need the o rings in the case or is it not necessary ?

[harsh dove]

Don't need them but they help

[high sphinx]

Ok thank you 😀

[untold wigeon]

What stabilizers are good for wooting 60he

There are so many TX ones but idk their differences

Like whats their difference?

[harsh dove]

Some are clip-in , screw-in, plate mount, some are long pole or standard

[untold wigeon]

Whats long pole vs standard

[harsh dove]

Long pole is created for when using long pole switches

aka switches with shorter travel distance so you get longer stabilizer stems to account for it

[untold wigeon]

How do i know which i need

I have normal switches

[harsh dove]

Depends on what switches you're using but most switches work just fine with regular stabilizers even if they're long pole switches

[untold wigeon]

Ill buy geon raw he

Switches

[harsh dove]

You may get "keycap wobble" if your keycaps are low quality and/or have looser stem tolerances, when using long pole switches with regular stabs

You can also just buy Geon Stem Spacers if such issue occurs

which are $3

vs buying new long pole stabs which can be about $10-20

[untold wigeon]

Okay another question

Whats difference of clip in vs top mounted

[harsh dove]

top mounted I'm assuming refers to plate mounted, which just means they're attached to the switch plate rather than the PCB

They are easier to remove and install but can have looser tolerances and/or may not sound as good as PCB mounted but honestly I've never really had an issue with some of the more recent plate mounts

[untold wigeon]

Can i use pcb mounted on my he

Its not he+

[harsh dove]

In the end, as long as you take your time to lube and tune your stabs, they all sound about the same

[harsh dove]

If its the regular or OG 60HE, then no

[untold wigeon]

Okay

[harsh dove]

You have to use plate mounted

[untold wigeon]

So top clip in is what i need

?

[harsh dove]

You wanna look for Plate Mounted Stabs with 6.25u

[astral fox]

i got this super nice foam from my laptop cooler i think ima put it in my space bar

[harsh dove]

Yeah those will work

[stone flax]

i think he might be reffering to these

[harsh dove]

Oooooh

[stone flax]

https://divinikey.com/products/tx-ap-stabilizers-top-clip-in

[harsh dove]

I know what you're talking about

yeah

I forgot

ty

[stone flax]

housing clip over not through

yea

just buy stabilizers shims 👅

2 dolalrs

[inner rivet]

anyone with the 80he running a modding kit from torontokeyboard?
(specifically the carbon fibre plate?)

[visual ore]

I seen a couple running CF plates from Aliexpress

[cyan lark]

Raire are you a new convert?

[visual ore]

I only have the switches right now T.T

[tropic urchin]

I got the CF but from aliexpress

[cyan lark]

Yes, I am

[tawdry tree]

That’s what @kind helm was trying to figure out as well.

[visual ore]

Going to be trying out stuff though actually added GEON Raw HE to me order

Like the TTC switches but....... just in case

[cyan lark]

Nice, it's fun to try stuff out

The raws are great sounding and feeling as well

[visual ore]

TTC is really smooth though

So sound is going to be the deciding factor

[vapid oracle]

Jade pros

[inner rivet]

how's the sound on the CF plate?

[visual ore]

Too Clacky T.T

[inner rivet]

yeah i'm just interested in the toronto kit cause it comes with foam too..

[visual ore]

Every video something about the Pros

[cyan lark]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message
#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[vapid oracle]

Nah

[tropic urchin]

If Jade pros are too clacky, TTC is like 2-3 magnitudes more

[visual ore]

Weirdly enough I don't think so

But again I do need to get them on the board first

[cyan lark]

Well, with that kit I replaced the silicone w/ foam which may have dulled the clack a bit

[tropic urchin]

There’s a reason there’s a disclaimer regarding TTC volume by Sno for those switches and it’s bc they’re extremely loud and clacky

[cyan lark]

Plus I moved to mag pom, was using magneto OG before which was definitely more clacky than this thing is now. Still has some sharpness to it, but it's a bit thumpier.

[inner rivet]

turning, your case the zinc alloy or a plastic one?

[cyan lark]

Zinc

[visual ore]

Just for clarification is this the Pom or OG

[inner rivet]

solid. im running a zinc aswell.

[visual ore]

That's clacky cause I have the Pom

[cyan lark]

Those recordings are POM

I think I posted of a recording of OG w/out the mod kit/plate change

[visual ore]

And the POM from what I heard was more deep

Vs Clack

[cyan lark]

Yeah here #🔧│keyboard_modding message

and #🔧│keyboard_modding message

It would be bad science for me to claim how the switch change affected things since I also changed the plate and other bits at the same time

[inner rivet]

im still in the middle of a buncha different switches being shipped to me XD

[glacial wind]

If you want cf plate just buy from aliexpress store. I’m fairly sure that torontokeyboard place is just buying that and upping the price lol

[visual ore]

Now I'm debating getting Jade Pros just to try it

That's the problem with videos haha

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

This is what I listened to before for the POM

[cyan lark]

Yeah almost certainly, I'm just lazy and was kinda interested in a bundle of stuff I could try out

[inner rivet]

when i start to consider the future tariffs coming in soon. i disagree.

[harsh dove]

[visual ore]

Yeah OG TTC is definitely more clacky

[cyan lark]

Honestly my 3 favorite sounds are the Jade Pro, KoM (pom), and Raw. All very different and enjoyable in their own way.

I could live happily with any of them in my board

[glacial wind]

I have 4 ttc rgb magneto non pom coming in with my Domikey keycaps, so will be able to do a side by side sound comparison vs pom

[cyan lark]

What about standard magneto? Different from RGB no?

[harsh dove]

you have a TTC Pom sound test already right?

Don't know if I caught it

[glacial wind]

Yeah posted a quickie one before

[glacial wind]

I don’t have regular magnetos yet, but I was more curious about smoothness difference for Pom vs rgb since same mold

[harsh dove]

this one right?

[cyan lark]

Gotcha, just thought it would be interesting to hear all 3 in the same setup to really get a good comparison

[glacial wind]

Yeah, there’s one I posted with the lucifer and jade pro next to it too for quickie comparison

[polar girder]

If I’m buying raw should I buy these preemptively or naw

[astral fox]

foam in my spacebar

it looks like shit but it works so

[glacial wind]

I think that would be the plan eventually, once I finish up the basics of the mod site and talk to wooting folk and see their thoughts to maybe expand what I’m testing and putting up on the site

[glacial wind]

Nah. Unless you want new stabs for some reason

[polar girder]

lol ok nah I have enough ☠️

[glacial wind]

I’m pretty sure you can get geon stem spacers on aliexpress now too as well

I think I saw some when I was scrolling

[polar girder]

Yeah

[astral fox]

what do yall think?

[polar girder]

Colorful

[visual ore]

That's a lot of RGB

[harsh dove]

That's a lot of LED

[astral fox]

ya

[harsh dove]

Can you smell it?

[astral fox]

what

[harsh dove]

im kidding

[tropic urchin]

Tbh I can smell the color from here, very fruity

[polar girder]

lol

[harsh dove]

I think it look great though

[polar girder]

I lol’d

[astral fox]

thank you

i like modding my keyboards but only mods you can’t see

i like when my keyboards look stock

[polar girder]

lol I guess stock is subjective but yeah. Looks neat

Is it worth buying these and can i put them on my wooting?

[glacial wind]

Hrm the plate store on aliexpress suddenly gave me a coupon for following them lol

Tempting

[glacial wind]

No

[inner wren]

Why?

[glacial wind]

The ones you get with your wooting are already durock level

[inner wren]

Oh thats great to hear is it same with the module?

[glacial wind]

literally no point swapping them out for durocks

[inner wren]

Okay thanks

[glacial wind]

Oh wait I got it down $2 more dollars. The joys of random coupon stacking to hit minimum spends

[cyan lark]

I am looking forward to it, for what that's worth

[tropic urchin]

Based CF plate purchaser

[glacial wind]

I like to play the mini game of how much can I game the aliexpress system to get free stuff with my order

[tropic urchin]

They gave me $1 coins for my plates being delayed even tho it arrived a week early

I don’t get it, but keyboard fun store definitely likes giving ppl a nice experience so it’s appreciated

1 week early during peak shipping traffic is kinda wild tho

[chilly mural]

Gotta keep you happy to buy more

[glacial wind]

It brings me great joy to save $1.50 vs retail price and get 3 ttc magneto switches for free using the coupon stack

My frugal training from my parents, they would be proud

[cyan lark]

What's w/ that dude showing off his hand size in the bottom center of the Ali site?

[tropic urchin]

They tryna arc me fr

They seem like a nice bunch over there tho

[glacial wind]

He’s giving me a high five for optimizing my checkout cart to save $5

[tropic urchin]

The Aliexpress Billy Mays

[cyan lark]

Got it, thank you. I really should familiarize myself w/ the site at some point.

Gotta make an account, right?

[glacial wind]

That was a joke, I think that guy in middle is some ad for some Korean shopping event they’re doing lol

[cyan lark]

😳 ah

[glacial wind]

But yeah aliexpress is weird in that sometimes you save money adding stuff to cart because you qualify for certain coupon with min spend limits

so I actually spend less on my plate by adding 3 magneto switches to my cart to hit $29 lol

[cyan lark]

Nicely done

[polar girder]

https://keyboardbelle.com/products/1984-clear-60-keyboard-case-gh60-compatible?variant=31044683956326

That’s pretty neat

[glacial wind]

Alright got cf plate on the way, plus magneto rgb and magneto regular on the way as well

Although the switches is just 3-4 of each since I only want it purely for comparison, so no full board typing tests yet, but 3-4 is good enough for quick and dirty side by side stuff

[cyan lark]

For sure, looking forward to hearing all 3 side by side!

[tropic urchin]

My fav part of the CF plate is how flush it is with PCB without screws when you put it on for the first time

Everything just ✨fits✨

[glacial wind]

Yours was from keyboard fun store right?

[tropic urchin]

Yeah

[glacial wind]

That guy picked a great name for his shop

Indeed keyboard fun store

[tropic urchin]

It definitely tracks

10/10 shipping

Also get extra screws in case you lose one

I did a flex test comparing PC to CF and it went from a flopping fish to barely moving, I knew from then it was probably the plate to use

[polar girder]

Yo what’s this all about? @glacial wind

Should I wait to order? Lol

[kind helm]

THEY HAVE IT

50 dollars after shnipping

fuck

LMAO

[tawdry tree]

That’s a lot less than if I were to ship mine to you.

That’s fine man, if you wanna try them go for it.

[tawdry tree]

You really specified that you’re talking about the V1 open bottoms right?

[kind helm]

i dont wanna hear it from a dude that has too many switches laying around

[kind helm]

but yea fck it, just because they reply and set it up so fast i gonna buy it

[tawdry tree]

SEE! It never hurts to ask them.

A bit odd that they have 70 and not list them

but whatever

[stone flax]

😛

[fast oriole]

i got a super nice coiled cable from alibaba for 1.07 usd

[cyan lark]

Personal stock?

[fast oriole]

aliexpress*

[tawdry tree]

Now hope it works!

[fast oriole]

it works very well!

[tawdry tree]

Even with 8K and full brightness?

[fast oriole]

runs tachyon at 100 and everything is good

[tawdry tree]

Wow

Which one? Can you send the link?

It’s nice for people who look for a cheap alternative that actually works just as good.

[fast oriole]

I just found this on AliExpress: $10.11 | Coiled Keyboard Cable USB C for Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Double-Sleeved Wire with Detachable Metal Aviator Connector Charging
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mt6F6gx it may have been 1.07 just due to a first time discount, normal price is 11$ but still very good with the amount of colors they have.

Looks exactly like the Wooting one imo

Some are 4$

[cyan lark]

What is rluninum?

[tawdry tree]

Yeah it looks good.

[tawdry tree]

Rare Aluminum

or Real Aluminum

[cyan lark]

Phone won’t let me type it.

[kind helm]

according to geon's website, the one they sell is c3. To connect to the daughterboard that comes with venom, you need a 4pin sh1.0 jst to jst cable that follows a certain sequence.

[fast oriole]

It also comes in a high quality case that you can carry the cable or other small items in that i found to be very nice for an item from aliexpress

[minor vessel]

Yoo I just changed my switches from the original wooting to the jade pros, anyone know how to fix the rgb? everything is like green shifted

[tawdry tree]

ignore: cheap coiled cable supports 8K full bright

[harsh dove]

I think Tirade got one for his so I'll ask him

[kind helm]

yeee i just remember, i was looking around for information when the kind and knowledgeable thockfather is right here in the wooting chat

this is the sequence that the cable needs to follow

wrong sequence can kill the pcb

[harsh dove]

ah okay gotcha

[kind helm]

https://divinikey.com/products/geon-unified-daughterboard just grab this if you are in us. 6 in stock only now. that cable would be the correct one almost 100%

[glacial wind]

Yeah wait. You’ll have coupons available to use once new years starts

[austere creek]

so no sequence

just a straight cable

[kind helm]

yyea

[polar girder]

Cool thanks

[kind helm]

the jst cable i have from another pcb uses reverse though

and you know they can fit the holes too

[austere creek]

what do you mean reverse

[kind helm]

1234 4321 instead of 1234 1234

idk if that is a good description

[austere creek]

... who the crap would do that

[kind helm]

[austere creek]

why cant companies design... easy stuff...

[kind helm]

idk, i really was expecting this should be standardized

[fast oriole]

Is a FR4 plate stiffer than aluminum?

[kind helm]

since you are here, can i ask a question :3 the 80he that you guys have, is the daughterboard special for 80he? or is it using the unified daughterboard project stuff

edit: i am just curious in terms of how he board works, i am guessing that the daughterboard is just for adjusting how you do the connection between usbc cable to the board, and nothing is special about them.

[fast oriole]

Also, would ceramic keycaps be a good investment?

[kind helm]

nope

[inner rivet]

sounds like you're explaining a crossover cable.

[peak breach]

No

[kind helm]

idk, everything i learned about electrical engineering and i forgot after my exams. I am a disappointment

but essentially the connector on one end is flipped, that is it

probably just to make the cable easier to manage in the case is my thinking

[astral fox]

so my wooting is open rn

should i tape mod it

[cyan lark]

Sure why not?

[inner rivet]

basically a crossover cable swaps the transmit and receive wires on each side.

[astral fox]

scary

[cyan lark]

I remember being so confused by the floppy drive crossover cables, where the flat cable would split out and flip partway through

[inner rivet]

and yes, if it's already opened up you might aswell tape mod.

[cyan lark]

Looked like it was a complex mistake until I understood what the idea was

[inner rivet]

XD i havent seen a ribbon cable that large in a while LOL

i think since my old Athlon build

[cyan lark]

I do not miss them. Cable management?

[inner rivet]

i used to tuck them behind the motherboard standoffs if i could.

dual chamber cases just make cable management soo easy nowdays.

[cyan lark]

I call it "the basement". Don't go in the basement, it's where I put my cable shame.

[kind helm]

cant see them = perfect cable management

[cyan lark]

Honestly I can't see anything at all in that pic

[kind helm]

only thing that shine is my 6950xt

xDDDDDDDDD

[inner rivet]

i couldn't do that...

[polar girder]

lol exactly

Just don’t clean your case at all and take a picture in 480p resolution = perfect cable management

[inner rivet]

yay thermal throttling

[kind helm]

the res is good, and tbh you are seeing more than what i can see with just eyes

[inner rivet]

make sure all that dust gets in them fans LOL

[kind helm]

it just has nothing that shines

weak mental moment, used to clean apartment and pc weekly, but recently too busy and tired so yeee

got dust filter so hopefully all is good

[cyan lark]

I said do not go into the basement

[kind helm]

the fans barely run at all, i cap my fps in every single game i play, and for multi player games i can hit 600fps on val and still sit at a comfortable temp

[inner rivet]

ohh a capture card XD

theres another pc or a console somewhere else

LOL

[kind helm]

i wish i got a rtx card instead, amd = raster only

and no dlss

[cyan lark]

DLSS is nice. I don't much care for ray tracing to be honest.

[kind helm]

ray trace stuff is meh

but path tracing

is so damn hot

[cyan lark]

Capture card is for gamecube/switch when I feel like setting them up

It's just too expensive and I find the shimmering/particle-y effect they lead to too distracting to enjoy

[inner rivet]

im still rocking my 2x 1080ti SLI setup

LOL

[cyan lark]

I both do and do not miss SLI

[inner rivet]

pc was built in 2016

[cyan lark]

Cool as hell and something I always wanted to do as a kid, then I finally was able to right before they killed it as a feature

[inner rivet]

exactly

[harsh dove]

thats a weird lookin keyboard

[inner rivet]

i'm thinking of running my next pc build running both Nvidia and AMD

for gpus

[cyan lark]

Funny, I searched Google photos for "computer" and my keyboard shots came up too.

[kind helm]

that just reminds me. i literally got everything i wanted as a kid but i am way more depressed than when i was a kid

life sucks

nice pc + small apartment + cat + car

[cyan lark]

Don't forget that this too shall pass my man

Ups and downs
