[fluid ravine]

some say you can tear it without scissors so i suppose it's thin enough

[icy dew]

its 1.5 mm

i need 0 POINT 3mm

you see how impossible this seems lol

[tawdry tree]

😭😭😭

[fluid ravine]

idk how to calculate this soooooooo

yea

[icy dew]

1/16 = len in inches -> to a inches to mm converter on google.

[fluid ravine]

oh

[tawdry tree]

local hardware store perhaps?

[cyan lark]

Foam that thin seems pretty niche

[icy dew]

the funny thing is im trying to find ultra thin foam, which is pretty ass at doing its job at holding items and protecting them

so a strategy i've found it looking for terrible reviews complaining about how ass it is

because its likely very thin and cheap lmao

i know there is definitely the correct foam on amazon, it just most likely will never say it anywhere

i'm looking on reddit as well to see what other people have found

[cyan lark]

Ideally you could cut it but you’d need a level hot wire to cut that thin

[icy dew]

yeah i'd need some specialty tool to cut that thin

[cyan lark]

What’s this for anyway? I missed the beginning of the hunt yesterday

[icy dew]

luckily i have a 3d printer so i can at least measure the thickness of any foam i have on hand

[icy dew]

this is for putting between the plate and the pcb, under the switch

its called the pe foam mod

reduces the sound on the lows and highs, making it more mid-focused

[cyan lark]

Gotcha

[kind helm]

sad space bar

[cyan lark]

[icy dew]

same thickness as this

[cyan lark]

Ah rats

[icy dew]

rats indeed

[thorn zealot]

someone tell me whats the diff between these

am i trippin or are they just 2 diff things that do the same thing

[fluid ravine]

correct

Geon Stem Picker seems more secure doe :p

[fluid ravine]

what you use to record?

and yes sad spacebar :(

[kind helm]

50 dolla mic

gonna make a new switch for that spacebar hopefully fixes it

[fluid ravine]

"make a new switch"?

[thorn zealot]

are there any cases worth upgrading to from redux

besides frog mini

[icy dew]

owlab looks cool

zinc alloy is zinc

[thorn zealot]

i mean for the 60he

[fluid ravine]

Like you want options for knowledge or you really wanna buy em

[icy dew]

there's the alumaze60

[thorn zealot]

just to know options

[fluid ravine]

Optimum Case

Salvation

[thorn zealot]

and maybe buy them once my parents pay me back

[ionic breach]

is the random b stock salv still up?

[fluid ravine]

yes

it is

[cyan lark]

Josh are you recording w/ Audacity?

[icy dew]

i found ANOTHER 0.5mm

lol

they actually bothered to say it on this one

i think my biggest bet is pouches

[fluid ravine]

gosh i wanna get this

[cyan lark]

I honestly doubt you're going to find thinner. Why do you think you need it at 0.3mm exactly?

[thorn zealot]

do u just order a salv and pray that u get the color u want

[icy dew]

if i could find a pouch with a combined thickness of 0.5mm, then one layer would be 0.25mm

[fluid ravine]

yup

it's a gamble

no return

[thorn zealot]

u know

99% gamblers quit before they hit

[ionic breach]

honestly only copper slag id like

[fluid ravine]

idgaf

i like all of em

[ionic breach]

the rest of the colours arent exciting for me

[fluid ravine]

well copper is cool

but it's hard to find keycaps to match

[ionic breach]

oh wait no

[fluid ravine]

so ima put that at the bopttom

[ionic breach]

the white pattern

[fluid ravine]

i want one of the whites

or black

business grey cool as ewll

[kind helm]

fixed

hehe

[thorn zealot]

that owlabs case seems like the one

[ionic breach]

not bad too

[thorn zealot]

anyone know how much it cost

[ionic breach]

lmao

500

[fluid ravine]

...

[cyan lark]

💰

[fluid ravine]

someone gotta tell hima t some point

[kind helm]

relube + jade pro spring = win

[cyan lark]

What switch did the spring go into?

[thorn zealot]

its the one for the high rollers

not me

[kind helm]

raw

[cyan lark]

Gotcha

this could be the one

but im not sure

it says the pouches are 0.5mm thick

im not sure if that refers to the combined width of one puch

pouch*

or the sides of one pouch each

[rough hornet]

Is there a way to raise the pcb with anything that comes with the keyboard

[cyan lark]

I would assume each side would be 0.5mm, personally.

[rough hornet]

?

[icy dew]

i have no clue bro

[cyan lark]

I don't think anything that came with your board will do that. Sounds like you want some standoffs to raise it up.

[icy dew]

it officially says the pouch is 0.5mm

so im assumign that means the pouch as a whole

[ionic breach]

couldnt you just cut it anyways?

[icy dew]

how do you cut something lengthwise to the preciseness of 0.25 milimeters

[ionic breach]

no if each side is 0.5

[rough hornet]

What are the screws for then and can you send me them that will work to even out the height of my keyboard

[ionic breach]

you just cut the part that connects them

[cyan lark]

Sorry, I'm not a genie, you're gonna have to do some research here.

[icy dew]

then i would have 0.5mm sheet

i need a 0.25 mm sheet lol

at least i think

[ionic breach]

oh lmao

[icy dew]

i honestly have no idea

[cyan lark]

But generally standoffs are the sort of thing you're looking for.

[icy dew]

according to some people 0.5mm can cause issues

[rough hornet]

K I’ll ask some people

[icy dew]

so ideally i'd want something smaller

[cyan lark]

Just gotta find out the correct threading/pitch/size

[icy dew]

but honestly idk

[rough hornet]

Ai 🤣

[cyan lark]

Oh boy

My dude comes back with a nailgun and some silly putty ready to go to town on his board

[cedar gate]

How do geon raws sound on PC vs. CF I have then on Pc rn but I have heard they can sound dead on Pc and sound much brighter on a less flexible and higher pitched plate

[icy dew]

cf would be much higher pitch

carbon fiber itself does not make it high pitch

but its literally submerged in resin

which resonates at higher pitch

[rough hornet]

https://kbdfans.com/products/kbdfans-standoff-silicone-cover?_pos=1&_sid=50730439d&_ss=r

These good

?

[kind helm]

@fluid ravine from my phone, i shouldve buy one of those phone leg for table xD. what you think

[fallen pecan]

is this what you mean? the ixpe foam?

[icy dew]

thats where it would be, and i would have to make some cuts to fit it, but it would be PE foam not ixpe

[fallen pecan]

ah the kits sold are all ixpe so good luck in your search

[calm pulsar]

Personally I only liked the softer type of foam sheets that go on the pcb. Not sure what the material is called, but it doesnt reflect light like on the pic above and it's also soft and cloth-like.

[stone flax]

foamfoamfoamfoamfoamfoamfoamfoamfoamfoafmaofmafoamfaofma

[kind helm]

didn't you just try foam today again :3

[stone flax]

it sucked

foam

foam and more foam

foam ruined sound

[cyan lark]

You haven't added enough to reach the foam peak. You're stuck in a local foam gulley.

[stone flax]

if ur keyboard doesnt sound good without foam

its not a good sounding keyboard

[kind helm]

@stone flax @calm pulsar what yall think about the tofu 2.0, i think it is a bit more even and soft than salvation

[stone flax]

incompatible with 60he

also grossly overpriced

[inland jetty]

you were right, i finally swapped my v1's on my 60he to the regular jades. lekker really are much more quiet than both raws and jades. by a good amount

[kind helm]

yee but bowl

[calm pulsar]

have you sent any sound tests lately?

or is it a general question

[kind helm]

^

[calm pulsar]

ah sry let me see

[stone flax]

arc quick ask

[calm pulsar]

I think it does have that softness of a mounting that is not tray

[stone flax]

@calm pulsar keyboard 1 or 2

[kind helm]

honestly now i wanna try frog mini even more ngl

because the mounting is really similar

[fallen pecan]

this is the standard foam setup for chinese boards, tho the ixpe usually fucks with the hall sensors so people usually remove that

[stone flax]

https://tenor.com/view/blocked-blocked-cat-block-block-cat-cat-block-gif-12390661323466413430

[kind helm]

i think they just make sure to give you the options is all

you dont have to use all of them xD

[stone flax]

untrue

[fallen pecan]

somne makers are just lazy and copy paste the foams to their mag boards

[calm pulsar]

lol 2nd one is very plasticky

[stone flax]

these cheap china foam max boards use a thin 1.2mm flexcut pccb

most of the time

so without foam

theyre tinny and hollow and somehow worse

[fluid ravine]

YEAH CALL EM OUT

[kind helm]

[stone flax]

blame fr4 plate

also no standoffs

[kind helm]

but the price though

[calm pulsar]

that is on wooting?

[stone flax]

frog mini

somehow made the board sound so shit

[kind helm]

i have one really similar to that for 20 dolla

[stone flax]

😭

[fallen pecan]

thats about right

[fluid ravine]

no alpha sound test :(
not even individual stabs? :((

[fallen pecan]

meanwhile this is how nuphy does it

[fluid ravine]

i wanted to comment something about the alphas but i need to have a listen of them alone

spacebar ruining my thoughts

[calm pulsar]

uhh my geon fr4 for venom is not that bad sounding, so there might be some variables that affect it somehow

[icy dew]

@fluid ravine have you tried ixpe foam vs pe foam?

i dont really know the difference

[fluid ravine]

nope havent tried ixpe sheet

[stone flax]

stock frrog plate?

[fluid ravine]

all i know that these are sound modifiers when it comes to keyboards

and i dont like using sound modifiers

[kind helm]

i tried

[stone flax]

they both suck, ixpe more so

[fluid ravine]

ummm

wtf

[kind helm]

it is much less noticible than that first one, first one was pain

[calm pulsar]

1 is my freebird60 with fr4 from Keyboard Fun Store
2 is geon fr4 plate with raws (but I was still using foams in this test so it's not as good, but no such plastickyness)

[icy dew]

i mean would something like this be the same as doing the pe foam mod?

[calm pulsar]

@stone flax

[icy dew]

it looks a lot easier

[fluid ravine]

indeed, im just not a fan of them overall

[stone flax]

hai

[fallen pecan]

ixpe is pe, just a different pe

[calm pulsar]

yeah talking about geon made venom frog mini plate

[stone flax]

no i meant

the og one

with slightly different

dimensions

[calm pulsar]

ah the thing is I never had any MX ones for frog

[stone flax]

and tolerances and lack of standoffs

[calm pulsar]

cause I got mine from cafege

with the alu for HE

[stone flax]

yea the mx plate is dookie

flat out terrible

😭

some of the switches are literally wobbling side to side

[calm pulsar]

yeah HE needs that extra tightness for switches haha

[stone flax]

i just need to use it for rn until i buy an alu plate from geon

[fluid ravine]

wait have i tried using PE foam mod in my board with friciton pad

man i dont remember

[calm pulsar]

@stone flax im scared I won't receive my luminkey lx60 from Loobed Switches 😦
there's some drama going on rn, people are upset with the owner of that store

[stone flax]

first thing that shows up

[fluid ravine]

idk they sound kinda raspy

[stone flax]

💀

🙏

[fluid ravine]

but i feel like it's the phone audio recording

[calm pulsar]

damn I hope I wont need to refund or smth

want that lx60 lol

[icy dew]

yeah but thats the thing, its different, so idk how it affects the soudn

[calm pulsar]

some ppl are filing ftc clams and shit, wild💀

[kind helm]

same order as phone recording i think

[fallen pecan]

wont know until you try it i guess

[calm pulsar]

what plate is that

[icy dew]

do they make one for wooting 80he?

i might try it

[kind helm]

alu

[icy dew]

@fallen pecan

[fallen pecan]

lemme find an NA link

[calm pulsar]

I think it sounds about right? on the louder side

[rough hornet]

wtf do I like the sound of my wooting more without the foam then with the foam im leaving it in but my ears are probably use to my apex pro mini

[fallen pecan]

https://torontokeyboardman.ca/products/wooting-80he-modding-kit?variant=44037787353283

[calm pulsar]

foam doesnt necessarily mean better, it's a sound modifier

[fallen pecan]

could be cheaper from ali

[kind helm]

for me around the same volume as salvation with alu + jade pro

[icy dew]

ixpe is kinda different from regular pe foam

so idk

[calm pulsar]

true, maybe it's the way it is recorded lol
but spacebar needs very good tuning if used with alu I think

cause alu stabs are usually kinda hollow, so they need more effort I feel like

[icy dew]

hmm this looks good tho

also hella expensive

just for some foam

[kind helm]

yea its still a bit fucked

[sacred elm]

its CAD not USD

[calm pulsar]

this looks like they resell keyboard fun store stuff from aliexpress lol

[icy dew]

https://youtu.be/zjZLvSEQnUw

theres a video

[fallen pecan]

it's the same kit, but keyboard fun doesnt have the 'foam only' kit

[violet fulcrum]

Gamakay silent phoenix on 80he(using long pole stabs so the mods are gonna be loud still)

[kind helm]

i wonder if it is because i remove the daughter board

so there is a bit of additional hollow space there

[icy dew]

wheres the og one

[fallen pecan]

taobao

[calm pulsar]

seems like an actual silent switch
not sure how normal pole stabs would make em quieter though

[violet fulcrum]

on the modifier keys, i believe the stabs are topping out before the switch itself, so thats why you hear that higher pitch

but i think a better solution apart from using normal height stabs would be going with knight stabs which have dampening on the top out

[calm pulsar]

could be the case yeah, if these are full travel switches

[tawdry tree]

The first one can pick box stems as well but the second one is slightly more secure.

[thorn zealot]

so from what im reading here

the 2nd one better

[worldly rain]

hey ive ordered the wooting module w switches and its been at the ups and not hsipped out for over a week, any advice ?

[tawdry tree]

the time you spent on your research man, it’s impressive ngl

[tawdry tree]

Not better, it’s less versatile but slightly more secure. It’s great if you lube only non-box stems.

[thorn zealot]

yeah im planning on lubing my raws soon

[cyan lark]

Wait

[worldly rain]

ok

[icy dew]

r2d2 bro what

this amazon AI is tripping balls bro

[stone flax]

minecraft diamond

can we expedite this whole sound theory crafting process

to like

[cyan lark]

Thanks Jensen

[stone flax]

2 months from now

[icy dew]

why is that

[stone flax]

when u realize foam and dampening are cope

and enjoy a foamless build

[tawdry tree]

That’d be correct. They have a travel of 3.8mm compared to LP stabs’ 3.5.

[icy dew]

dude im not some goober who cares about the purity of my keyboard

i like the foam sound so i want foam

[stone flax]

ur a goober who cares about a delicious delulu foam creamy thock

same difference

[cyan lark]

I like the idea of keyboard purity 😆

[icy dew]

sure

[cyan lark]

Very strange indeed

[stone flax]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1236339740823785552.gif?size=96&quality=lossless

[calm pulsar]

lol I've been through that as well xd

[thorn zealot]

this truly is the best

[violet fulcrum]

and the stabs im using are tx ap, so the bottom is longer than other lp im pretty sure

[stone flax]

theres two routes here, he either ends up filling the board with 8 layers of foam and cerakeys, or he just realizes he could buy a board that sounds good 🤯

https://tenor.com/view/i-have-played-these-games-before-seong-gi-hun-squid-game-i've-played-these-games-already-netflix-gif-16480153790313233198

[calm pulsar]

I feel like this hobby usually starts with "I will install every known foam and tape and they will all stack up for the best sound!" and it ends up sounding dead and just reflects sound back at you

[stone flax]

tape a pillow in ur head

maximum dampening

[icy dew]

thats exactly what i did with my first keyboard 3 years ago

tape mod, foam mod, ixpe foam mod i think, cotton balls everywhere, lubbed them too much, but it doesnt sound too bad

[kind helm]

it seems fine here

[calm pulsar]

I think all of this makes your choice of switch+plate kinda less relevant

[icy dew]

yeah i just thought more mods = better keyboard lol

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, not great for a silent build that doesn’t use LP switches. Silent switch but loud stabs 😉😄

[icy dew]

these are all the options i found

[calm pulsar]

it seems there's a bit of rattle, but it also sounds even on all sides, like a good balance lol

[cyan lark]

I feel like you're one step away from connecting foam listings on a board w/ red string

[fluid ravine]

agreed

it is balance

need some lube to dampen the rattle, mostly the top out with the wire

[calm pulsar]

yeah likely

[fluid ravine]

im gonna be running my stabs dry for a few months unfortunately

Won't be able to get my mom to buy me lube any time soon

[kind helm]

self harm? bad break-up?👀

[calm pulsar]

same, I installed these designer studio adaptive stabs totally dry
but the only stab that is rattling is the backspace for now

[kind helm]

its magically fine now wtf

maybe i didnt sit the cap properly

[fluid ravine]

well actually i spent almost 1k within a month

on peripherals

soooooooooooooo

i need to stop spending moni

[calm pulsar]

decided to get lazy until I do my next build in the luminkey lx60, but now I'm not sure if loobed switches will deliver💀

[calm pulsar]

damn what you get

[fluid ravine]

uh lemme type down the list again, dont wanna find it lol

[calm pulsar]

yeah make use of that keyboard you've been modding in this keyboard modding channel

[fluid ravine]

Just giving estimate on the peripherals including tax

[fluid ravine]

heh

yknow me so well

[tawdry tree]

Any inconsistencies with the actuation by the way?

[violet fulcrum]

No issues after plugging in, all keys bottom out properly

[tawdry tree]

Sweet

[icy dew]

https://torontokeyboardman.ca/products/wooting-80he-modding-kit?variant=44037787353283

i'm considering buying this

for like $24

just the foam

[stone flax]

more mods = more better keyboard

[icy dew]

that would be:
ixpe foam
poron sandwhich foam
pet film sheet
poron case foam
gasket foam
foam additions

idk

i mainly just need the ixpe foam

i just want to try it out

[cyan lark]

Do it

[stone flax]

a foamless frog >

[calm pulsar]

my personal experience is some pcb foam sheet is actually kinda cool for HE for taming that thud from the big magnet

but the rest is foamless in my frog build

[stone flax]

@calm pulsar ok nvm i spent over 1k

im COOKED

[cyan lark]

See the secret is to not have friends or family

[icy dew]

whatever i just bought it

[calm pulsar]

living the life

[calm pulsar]

also nice volleyball shoes as a pc peripheral

[icy dew]

arm sleeve is crazy

[calm pulsar]

[fluid ravine]

So basically I spent about $725 on myself

[fluid ravine]

wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

heh-

[cyan lark]

Must have been a good bonus this year

[icy dew]

was the xlr mic worth it

[fluid ravine]

yeah im currently using my volleyball sleeves

so i need a seperate sleeve for the glasspad itself

cus my second season is abt to start

[fluid ravine]

no..

[icy dew]

a glass pad for the setup just sounds goofy

[fluid ravine]

my old mic was perfectly fine anyways

i did it mostly cus of aesthetic

[icy dew]

i like softer feeling

[fluid ravine]

but the major upgrade was the boom arm

[icy dew]

yeah boom arm is dope

[fluid ravine]

Elgato LP boom arm

[icy dew]

i have an elgato one

[fluid ravine]

white

yurrr

[icy dew]

BLACK

its cool

[calm pulsar]

I believe you had the fifine one? I still have mine, it's so trash

[fluid ravine]

ay im loving my glasspad

serving me well

[icy dew]

ig you can crank more 90's or something

[fluid ravine]

i play Val and i took the effort to learn it, which i learned pretty quickly cus i play on a super low sens

[icy dew]

i heard it affects kb sound alot tho

[fluid ravine]

yeah i had the fifine k688

[stark osprey]

Haha I see you went Wallhack too

[fluid ravine]

now i have the Rode Podmic White

[fluid ravine]

yuppppp

[fluid ravine]

wait what does

[icy dew]

glass pad

bc ur kb is on it right

[fluid ravine]

I bought the Xraypads Obsidian Reds and Obsidian Air Pros

[icy dew]

a mouse pad acts a dampener that isolates kb sound

[calm pulsar]

once my custom guitar is done I gotta upgrade my mic, then the monitors

[fluid ravine]

Just switched to air pros, giving them a second try, it's great for control tbh much quiter and smoother as well

[icy dew]

thats why fabric is most common

[fluid ravine]

bet

[fluid ravine]

no...

[icy dew]

oh its just on the mouse

[fluid ravine]

glasspad is for my mouse lol..

yeah

[calm pulsar]

lol imagine a glass mat

[stark osprey]

Wait what are the armsleeves?

[calm pulsar]

for the whole table

[kind helm]

its the bowl thats fckin with it i just gonna watch some video see how others set it up

pain but fun

[stone flax]

armsleeves for glasspads

[stone flax]

prevents problems with skin contact

[fluid ravine]

@icy dew

[stone flax]

on the pad

[icy dew]

having a pad the size of the kb is so goofy imo

[fluid ravine]

i mean pulsar makes the superglide glasspad thingy

i forgot what they call their glasspads

but they make a whole table size glasspad

or XXL

smth smth

[stark osprey]

Oh what? Huh, I dont even rest my arms on the desk, not for me then lol

[fluid ravine]

it's a keebmat

[calm pulsar]

with the $300 shipping cost xd

[icy dew]

never seen that before

feels wrong

[fluid ravine]

xd

[stone flax]

????????

[fluid ravine]

"feels"

?

[stone flax]

this is the same guy yapping about putting stuff inside his keyboard

i would actually say a keebmat does more good for acoustics than any layers of foam lol

[icy dew]

feels as in the looks bro

[fluid ravine]

oh

[icy dew]

like usually you have a nice pad covering the whole desk

[fluid ravine]

just say looks wrong

lul

[icy dew]

having it just barely stick out from the kb looks silly

[fluid ravine]

i prefer a keebmat over a deskpad any day for my board

[calm pulsar]

chill guys he probably has a minecraft enchanting table as his pc desk

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[stone flax]

https://tenor.com/view/alexotos-gif-24304744

[calm pulsar]

hi alex

[fluid ravine]

For aesthetics wise, i think Keebmats are great in my eyes

[cyan lark]

Who even is this?

[fluid ravine]

Papa Alex!

[calm pulsar]

alexotos

[fluid ravine]

Sound wise, makes the board sound better imo, well depending on the build

[stone flax]

alexotos?

[fluid ravine]

I got the felts material which made my board sound brighter

original just dampens which i didnt want

[fluid ravine]

well here's something funny

my desk is made out of glass

lol

[icy dew]

oh

that would def affect it

without the pad

[fluid ravine]

for the board's vibration to travel through my desk

it kinda gives my board more bass on the bottom out

[cyan lark]

Are you sure?

[fluid ravine]

which is nice ig, but still gonna stick with the keebmat

want the full sound profile of the board

[fluid ravine]

Nah man, that's sotoxela

[stone flax]

im saying that asking you

how do not know who mr. toes is

[cyan lark]

Y'all are into some different flavors

[fluid ravine]

Creamy

Thocc

Clack

Pebbles

[cyan lark]

Now you're speaking my lang

[calm pulsar]

clang

[fluid ravine]

Thack

[cyan lark]

No, only cream for me. All day, all night.

I will accept nothing less.

[fluid ravine]

Clam Chowder

Mushroom Soup

LMAO

[calm pulsar]

chum bucket

[fluid ravine]

ay they wanted creamy

[cyan lark]

Too far dude

[fluid ravine]

im speaking their lang

[icy dew]

i wish it said if it was for one side or both sides

[cyan lark]

I mean, Amazon's got a pretty generous return policy

[calm pulsar]

I mean speaking made up words that apply to keyboard sounds is exactly that

[fluid ravine]

"||Cock||"

[calm pulsar]

now we're talking

[fluid ravine]

[stone flax]

@chatgpt summarize this

[icy dew]

bro cant read

[fluid ravine]

I wonder who made that up

[calm pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/iron-man-sped-up-jarvis-gif-19148596

[icy dew]

probably from some old movie or advertisement

[kind helm]

@stone flax andy v Nguyen yee or nah 👀

[stone flax]

depends on the board he's covering

[fluid ravine]

valid

[calm pulsar]

I remember his video about recreating the board that made him get back into the keyboard addiction

and it turned out to be a totally different board lol

[stone flax]

kohaku?

and then he spent 30 years yapping

all to say in the end

"all those mx blacks on alu videos taught me i liked the sound of mx blacks on alu when it comes to kohaku"

[calm pulsar]

yeah something like that

[fluid ravine]

respectfully, i kinda get bored of his vids really quick xd

so i rarely watch the guy, if there's a board or topic he's covering that im fully interested in then yeah sure ill watch him

i think the only two vids i remember watching from him is prob like about long pole switches and kohaku build

[stone flax]

https://tenor.com/view/blacksimon-yeet-keyboard-gif-20627822

[fluid ravine]

forgive me andy

[fluid ravine]

volume 2000%

[kind helm]

its sitting there slightly off center so the sound was not balanced

but i am not sure if i wanna take them out

fck me

[fluid ravine]

don't know how to feel about the mounting point being at the spacebar :(

[stone flax]

hawk tuah

tuah tuah tuah

[violet fulcrum]

its a iphone mic so its already loud lol

these silent switches are pretty banger

no crazy mush either

i just need to get proper stabilizers

[fluid ravine]

not a big fan of silent switches at all but these are acceptable for the time being

impressed ig, silent he switch..

[violet fulcrum]

yeah way better than those gateron gentys

[fluid ravine]

oOoOooo

[fluid ravine]

tried the cherry mx silent reds as for my first switch

[violet fulcrum]

oof

[fluid ravine]

did NOT enjoy a single bit of it

[calm pulsar]

yeah these seem like they are actually like all the MX silents

[violet fulcrum]

thats bad

[fluid ravine]

they were SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIItuh

[fluid ravine]

yup

[violet fulcrum]

those are very gummy

[fluid ravine]

closest MX sounding switch we got ay?

[violet fulcrum]

i would say these pheonix silents feel close to a topre, very minimal mush and solid bottom out

[violet fulcrum]

geon raw

[fluid ravine]

oh shi nice

[fluid ravine]

ehhhhhhhhh, it's getting theiir

their still that HE character in the sound profile of RAW's but preferably still best imo

Jade Pros can follow up

[violet fulcrum]

it does solve the issue of the thin up stroke and hollow bottom out of other he switches, only issues i have is the overlube

[fluid ravine]

the phoenix?

[violet fulcrum]

geon raw

[fluid ravine]

oh

overlube>?

really?

Only area that has been lube that i checked were the stem rails

i haven't seen any lube any where else in my batch

[calm pulsar]

ngl I think the thin upstroke and hollow bottom our are solved my jade pros 😄

[violet fulcrum]

yeah some have a stickiness when initially pressing

[fluid ravine]

honestly i would relube my raws if did get lube

[calm pulsar]

but I went even further and did a frankenswitch with the tighter upstroke

[fluid ravine]

oh i don't think that's overlube...

;-;

i had to get whatever bits of lube left and apply it to the top housing to get rid of that

[violet fulcrum]

and some lube spilling out on every switch by the LED diff side

[violet fulcrum]

it is

[fluid ravine]

didn't geon use like oil or smth

[violet fulcrum]

yeah very thin oil lube

[fluid ravine]

hm mine was dry as shit, idk again i slightly lubed mine with krytox and it fixed it

[violet fulcrum]

was just a bit messy when removing them since the diffusers always flew off

[fluid ravine]

ok yeah same here

everyone has that problem for sure

idek how the oil got their in the first palce

place

[violet fulcrum]

i think they need to revise the hooks with a triangle design so they can slip out easier

[fluid ravine]

oh the buckle design

[violet fulcrum]

like the jade pros i believe have them?

[violet fulcrum]

yea

[fluid ravine]

ye ye

i agree

easy to install and take out

[calm pulsar]

oh wtf I forgot I ordered ttc pom

they are in my country already

[cyan lark]

Bout to have your nuts clacked off.

[violet fulcrum]

i think the only other HE switch i am interested in getting was the AEboards Raed HE dome switches that i linked for the server

those have a lot of potential, hopefully people will like them. nothing like it on the market

[calm pulsar]

true im excited for these

cool new option for HE, not very gamery though

[fluid ravine]

oh when the hail

[violet fulcrum]

yeah rgb not my thing really, but i get the concern from most people

[calm pulsar]

shortly before new years

[fluid ravine]

ah

[calm pulsar]

if you refer to my message, I don't mean rgb, but the tactility that might interfere with rapid trigger

[violet fulcrum]

the owner for AEboards did say there will be revisions down the line and feedback will be taken

[fluid ravine]

i only used RGB for my esc key so i know what profile im on

but it's so hard to see when my board is tilted xd

[violet fulcrum]

oh dude, domes and HE are gonna be a perfect match

the tactile bump on domes are very rounded, so youll be able to control it quite well

ive got an EC dome board with rapid trigger and it feels amazing, no issues spamming either

[kind helm]

kinda sorta give up for the night

[violet fulcrum]

This is an EC dome board with rapid trigger

Bump is like smoothen through out the whole stroke so nothing like a Mx brown or holy panda

[quasi hinge]

#🌟│wooting80he message

[quasi hinge]

Anyone want to help this fren out

[cyan lark]

Is it their stabilized keys sticking on bottom out?

[quasi hinge]

I tried to converse with him but his responses were sparse as I am busy also

[cyan lark]

If so they gotta pull the pads under the stabs

🤷 I’m heading to bed

Hope they get it figured out

[marsh totem]

already pulled the pads out 😭

[cyan lark]

Oh then I dunno man

[quasi hinge]

Can you explain the situation fully

[cyan lark]

Take a vid and someone here may be able to help

[calm pulsar]

oh might be nice then

[marsh totem]

kk, ill try to do so tomorrow, its kinda late for me rn

[fluid ravine]

What happen?

[quasi hinge]

Stab issues

[fluid ravine]

80he?

[marsh totem]

yup

[fluid ravine]

what's wrong with it specifically

sticky stabs?

[marsh totem]

yeah after screwing in the pcb

i got recommended to unscrew it a little, but even just putting the screws in destroys the stabs

[fluid ravine]

everytime you bottom out or press down the stab it sticks for a moment then return right?

[marsh totem]

sorta?

some keys do that

and some just wont return

[fluid ravine]

after removing the pads did you wipe the grease/lube off the pcb and under the stab stem?

access lube and grease can still leave some stickiness

even without the pads

[marsh totem]

yeah, i did

multiple times

nothing seems to work in terms of wiping

[fluid ravine]

ok well you did it right then

your stab is still stock?

[marsh totem]

yeah

[fluid ravine]

can you elaborate on this?

Wdym by putting the screws in destroys the stabs

[marsh totem]

without the pcb its fine, but the moment its screwed in the stabs begin sticking

severity seems to be based on how tight the screws are

but even just putting screws in makes it stick

[fluid ravine]

Wdym without the pcb? Screw in stabs should be tested directly on the pcb

[marsh totem]

yeah i know

but when its screwed in thats when it gets stuck

[fluid ravine]

Ah ok i get whatchu mean

[marsh totem]

yh

[fluid ravine]

hollup

[glacial wind]

Seems either the stabs aren’t fully in the hole or his keycaps are warped if he’s using stock stabs that is

But yeah folks are going to need more photo video to see what’s up exactly

[fluid ravine]

i was either thinking that it isn't fully hooked through the whole or like he didn't place the stabs in the right orientation

[marsh totem]

yeah idk, ill try getting a video in tomorrow since its late rn

[fluid ravine]

cus normally it should be normal by default

ah alright

well yeah you can come back tmr

I wouldn't give up yet

[marsh totem]

kk

[kind helm]

the spacebar thin as mf, but i do love the alpha on tofu

https://tenor.com/view/copium-cat-gif-27161395

[calm pulsar]

what caps?

[kind helm]

pbt

[calm pulsar]

gmk spacebarios are top notch hehe

[kind helm]

novelkeydelay

[calm pulsar]

but maybe removing/changing something about the spacebar standoffs helps

not standoffs, I mean the mounting thingies

on the tofu

[kind helm]

its like deeper but not more balanced

salvation just betta i guess

desperate move rn is drown the switch with lube and see if that helps

[kind helm]

yee i know what you mean tried both ways

its still kinda off

[tawdry tree]

That’s more of a design flaw (Gateron’s switches have a notch that prevents this). You can wipe the lube off of the stem and top housing where they interact, that’ll fix it.

[kind helm]

lubing only makes the bottom out deeper, its the top out that is hollw af

[glacial wind]

Tis here. Time to put together raw zinc + Domikey ruby

[fluid ravine]

All I see is red

[stark osprey]

Got mine too but waiting for daylight to take better photos 😂

but for now lol...

[fluid ravine]

it'd be sick if you did like idk a heart beat pulse

give the board some visuals of coming to life

idk just a thought

idek if wootility has a rgb setting like that

lu

[stark osprey]

Thanks might try that for a redo vid lol, if I can find it in app ofc

"Jelly " is probably the closest thing to pulse, but you have to manually activate to the beat. I tried doing that on a previous build video.

[true dove]

Bit confused so on KBDFans, I tried to purchase with PayPal a keycap set and every time I hit Continue it forced exit the paypal place and sent me nowhere

Think I’m doing something wrong but the key caps fit my desk mat

[kind helm]

still weak, but relatively better, without having to cope with foam and stuff

just no spacebar standoff & no spacerbar bowl (edit: decided to put the standoff back on but just no bowl, makes alphas sound loose without the spacebar standoff

with spacebar standoff the echo is just goes crazy

[chilly mural]

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q6-he-qmk-wireless-custom-keyboard?variant=42069797601369

ayy, another full sized HE

but not compatible with other HE switch tho

also not sure if they have full 1k scan rate

[quasi hinge]

https://www.lemokey.com/products/lemokey-p1-he-wireless-magnetic-switch-custom-gaming-keyboard

[quasi hinge]

Their cheaper cousin

[quasi hinge]

And same issue

[chilly mural]

that's 75%

[quasi hinge]

Ohhh my bad

[chilly mural]

I meant full size

[quasi hinge]

This is so dumb tho

Are they trying to lock people into their ecosystem?

[chilly mural]

Wooting 2HE comes out to be the same with shipping to Malaysia (assuming shipping is like $70 with tax)

So keychron full sized is a lot more expensive

[quasi hinge]

You dont have a forwarder you can use?

[chilly mural]

I just order straight from wooting

[quasi hinge]

I do too but sometimes I have it sent directly to a forwarder and it avoids tax

But only works on lighter packages, anything heavier then you get into tax territory

[chilly mural]

$250 for keychron Q6HE wiht shipping, ~$230 for wooting 2he with shipping. But with wooting you get their software and compatible with a bunch of other switches compared to Keychron.

[quasi hinge]

Seems like a no brainer

[knotty iron]

also wooting firmware and support too

[quasi hinge]

Tak said that but yeah

[knotty iron]

aww man my 💯 went away :(

[quasi hinge]

100

🖖

[chilly mural]

If you like knob I guess keychron is fine? But if wooting managed to figured out knob with HE the benefit of keychron is basically gone.

[quasi hinge]

I wish the 80he had a knob

[sacred elm]

👀

[knotty iron]

shafie woke up

[quasi hinge]

Ahem… volume knob

[sacred elm]

Wooting knob 2025.

[quasi hinge]

I have a separate volume knob just chilling there and it gets hard to find in the dark

[kind helm]

just get a dac

[quasi hinge]

Would be amazing if they could create a magnetic rotary knob that you could clip in to a switch holder and boom

[sacred elm]

Actually I dont really care about a knob, but will get it if they release. Think it will look cool on 80he

[chilly mural]

The only HE product I think keychron make that's actually worth is the ergo/special layout and potentially HE numpad

[quasi hinge]

I have audio equipment already

[kind helm]

yee use the knob there

[quasi hinge]

Its even further lol

[chilly mural]

other than that, it's priced soo highly that you might as well get wooting

[kind helm]

I have a basic one right in front of my keeb

[sacred elm]

Yea I dont know why would anyone buy keychron, maybe for wireless? but then it kills the whole point of HE

[quasi hinge]

Lemme find mine

[kind helm]

its more for just solving the static problem cause by high power load on pc

something i learned after getting 6950xt, apparently if your gpu draws a ton of power then the motherboard audio jack would have static no matter what the motherboard brand advertise

[knotty iron]

not really

[glacial wind]

Ah done.

[knotty iron]

i mean i have the Q1 HE but its generally a pretty good experience

[knotty iron]

it's still faster than most mechanical kbs, but definitely among the slower HE kbs not the slowest tho

[kind helm]

yeee tease that knob instead

[quasi hinge]

Nice pair

[chilly mural]

Mmm, wanna see eye joker test it

[chilly mural]

Looks like blood stained sword

[quasi hinge]

But my keeb looks different now

What you think your keyboard looks like vs what it really look like

[glacial wind]

looks nice. I may keep it for week or so then swap it over to the optimum case

[quasi hinge]

How many wooting and wooting cases do you have?

That is dedication

[glacial wind]

With rgb

[glacial wind]

Just a couple cases for each wooting

[sacred elm]

red led bar

[kind helm]

Wooting PR ™

[sacred elm]

lol

[glacial wind]

looks really nice with rgb, pity i don't use rgb so it's a bit wasted there lol

[kind helm]

it does work nicely with the key cap though

[glacial wind]

yeah metal + red translucent works quite well

[kind helm]

shines the pattern like the matrix

[glacial wind]

iPhone filters kind of make the colors looks weird, have to turn them off

[quasi hinge]

Do you have a button there on steamdeck that opens wooting discord haha

[glacial wind]

Nah that’s for auto join voice channels lol

one for close friends discord, one for valorant etc

[quasi hinge]

Are they worth it?

[glacial wind]

You can map it so it auto joins a specific voice channel in specific server with one press

[quasi hinge]

I was thinking about getting one

[glacial wind]

I like it, but I bought it mostly cause it made streaming stuff easier and it was my job so business expensed it

[quasi hinge]

And can you turn down the brightness?

[glacial wind]

it’s just a really fancy macro software basically

[quasi hinge]

Yeah I get it, Im just worried I may not use it much

[glacial wind]

I think so, I’ve never actually looked at the brightness settings for the led lol

It's more handy for me for just doing frequently used stuff. Like the wooting button you see is actually to open chrome wootility page

just multiple action stuff where i'd have to do 2-3 actions I just macro into one button on stream deck

[uneven cradle]

Finally got home to some goodies

[glacial wind]

new keycap day is always fun day

[quasi hinge]

Yeah I would appreciate that

Ty

[chilly mural]

It looks nice

[uneven cradle]

Twinning

[glacial wind]

actually my cf plate gets here soon so that's when I'll probably change keycaps again lol

have to take apart the keyboard anyway to do that

[near barn]

hi does anybody know the how many mm the spring length is for gateron jades?

[sacred elm]

[sacred elm]

regular jades are 14 or 15

pretty sure theyre 14

[near barn]

thank you! any chance you happen to know the length for the lekker switches aswell?

[sacred elm]

they are the same

length

[kind helm]

lekker a tiny bit longer

[near barn]

oh forsure thanks

[kind helm]

right one is lekker left one is jade

[near barn]

im asking mainly because I'm seeing the gateron jade PROS have a '20mm customized spring' so wanted to see the differences

[glacial wind]

it's honestly not an important thing

[sacred elm]

actually I think jades are 13mm and lekkers are 14mm

[glacial wind]

there's some +- is the thing, so technically they're probably all '15mm' lol

[sacred elm]

20mm springs are nice

[kind helm]

guesse which one is jade pro

[near barn]

but with the '+-' thing going on, that means throwing lekker springs into jades will have a different effect whereas if i threw em into lekker switches, no?

[glacial wind]

i'm fairly sure gateron advertise theirs as 15mm for the jades

[sacred elm]

I think first one

[glacial wind]

you're not really going to notice difference between 1mm there

it's more the drastic differences you'll notice

but even then it's still personal preference and honestly it barely matters and after an hour your fingers get used to whatever spring it is

[near barn]

this.. I put an L70 spring into a jade and lekker and they feel completely different ):

[glacial wind]

i only notice spring difference in that first bit when i'm swapping between switches and boards then you totally forget afterwards

[glacial wind]

well yeah but now you're talking about spring weight and not spring length

length is different to spring tension

[near barn]

oh really

[sacred elm]

yes

[kind helm]

^ 1mm small diff, 5mm bigger diff

[near barn]

im under the impression that because it's shorter/longer in length, the spring isn't resisting(?) the stem against my finger on the jades compared to lekker

end force feels like it bottoms out near what the stock L60 is

[glacial wind]

nah what you're looking for is spring tension force

[sacred elm]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/984799440072220692/1322746919813910579/image0.jpg?ex=677f2e91&is=677ddd11&hm=7a34df813f9b2ac7b3948689981a5a6fc6e69d4cc14f06d9f26a317e29dd44f2&

also this

[glacial wind]

you can have 2 springs that are both 50g-ish end force but one is 15mm and another is 22mm (which is kind of what happens with say jade vs ttc magneto pom)

[near barn]

this is actually the type of visual representation i was looking for, thank you so much

[glacial wind]

so if you're wanting to know how heavy or light is then you want to ask about spring weight/force and not length so much

[near barn]

it's more of me finding out 'why' the L70 spring felt so much different on my lekker vs jades, and seeing the '20mm customized spring' made me wonder if that was the reason

[glacial wind]

oh well l70 is way heavier for one

[sacred elm]

let me find that essay again

[glacial wind]

L70 = 70 end force

[sacred elm]

The design of the two-stage spring makes it longer than a normal “one-stage” spring. This means that the spring is compressed more than a one-stage spring during the unactivated state, and it reaches its bottom out weight more quickly. This makes the downpress feel more firm and consistent, as there is a smaller range of forces between the beginning of the keypress until bottom out or even actuation. In addition, the upstroke after lifting your finger is noticeably faster, meaning that there is the ability to rapidly repeat keystrokes in a shorter amount of time. Two-stage springs are also less likely to have spring ping because being more compressed even in the unactivated state means that there is less room for the spring to move/rotate around.

[cosmic dune]

Hey guys i’m looking to get a matching keycaps with this, any ideas ?

[glacial wind]

your regular lekkers and jades are 45-60 end force, depending

[kind helm]

there is no 2 stage spring in he yet no?

[glacial wind]

so L70 springs will always feel much different even just from the force difference

[kind helm]

at least not good one

[sacred elm]

idk but this applies to long springs too

[uneven cradle]

Hey my keycaps are actually not exploded everywhere

[glacial wind]

more manus need to swap to the nice stacked fitted tray keycaps like osume and domikey

get all your keycaps nicely in order and never half upside down

[tawdry tree]

I like KBD’s tray

[uneven cradle]

Was thinking about getting some of those linworks trays that fit in GMK boxes

[kind helm]

on the other hand, i have ali keycaps that came in with bubble wrap and tape

[tawdry tree]

Are they good (enough)?

It’d be nice to be able to use the GMK boxes

[stone flax]

I eat the gmk tray

[pastel storm]

hello im looking at getting a optimum 60he but i dont know if i should get l45 v2 or l60 v2

[quasi hinge]

Any previous experience with he switches?

[devout totem]

I thought it was the B-21

[pastel storm]

no this will be my first he keeb

[quasi hinge]

It can be very subjective. I found the lekker 60s too heavy and the lekker 45s too light. So I use Geon Raw 50g

[pastel storm]

i was looking at those, what are they like?

[quasi hinge]

Apparently the craft exhibit no visible means of propulsion, no rotor wash, etc. they just float for hours.

The claim is that its like dropping an iphone off in the wagon days… so reverse engineering is slow

[quasi hinge]

Amazing!

I use only Geon Raws 50g on my boards

Some will recommend Jade Pros too

They are perfect middle between the 2 lekkers wooting offers

[pastel storm]

ok thanks for helping

[quasi hinge]

Also the geon raw and gateron jade have shorter travel distances

Raw is 3.4
Jade is 3.5
Lekkers are 4.0

If you play fps and bottom out then you will also notice a faster response with geon raw/jade pro than from the lekkers

[pastel storm]

ok thanks

[scarlet barn]

Hello first time modder here, tbh I have everything together and I’m pretty happy so far, I just need to get some keycaps now. Are any keycaps compatible with the wooting 80he? Or is there some specific I need to look out for before I order keycaps

(Note if anyone has any suggestions for some light blue colored keycaps I would appreciate tremendously thank you so much)

[ionic breach]

almost all are good

look out for mx compatible

[paper parrot]

Any cherry mx compatible should be fine

[scarlet barn]

So I should specifically try to look for keycaps that say MX compatible?
@paper parrot @ionic breach Also thank you both so much I appreciate you tremendously 🙏🏻

[paper parrot]

Its very rare that a keycap set isn’t mx compatible so you should be fine

[paper bloom]

nope just find one that has a + stem ur good

[scarlet barn]

Thank you!

[scarlet barn]

Thank you for your time to reply!

[ionic breach]

light blue is also quite hard to find

admittedly i dont really look out for them
