[tropic urchin]

You want the smaller looking side towards the back and the larger light diffuser facing front

[cyan lark]

There's some variance in mine but it doesn't seem quite as dramatic as yours

[tropic urchin]

In your pic diamond I think it’s backwards

[hybrid cairn]

welp time to cry, should known something would be off when the diodes looked like this

[inland jetty]

i tried to get a similar angle as his and it doesnt even look as drastic as his

[cyan lark]

I imagine they'll look like that for mine as well. You can see the leads alternate directions

[hybrid cairn]

they should be straight tho

but i get the qc issue those are smol

[inland jetty]

an issue nonetheless

[cyan lark]

Yeah I mean you could go to support

[hybrid cairn]

what do i do mannnn

[cyan lark]

But that's a whole can of worms

[hybrid cairn]

hehehehhe

nice one

[cyan lark]

Oh, not intentional but I'll take it

[hybrid cairn]

idk js wondering if its wormth the trouble, ill ask anyways when i find the support channel

[cyan lark]

You can't get support on here, gotta email them.

Only community support on here

[hybrid cairn]

ah they cant help? their email support is so slow

[cyan lark]

No, that'd be cutting. You don't wanna be a cutter, do you?

You know what we do to those

[flat cobalt]

I just got mine today didn’t get to check the LEDs properly

[cyan lark]

Don't, just be happy

[inland jetty]

im not an expert with pcb's but can't you find someone to replace those led's maybe xD

[little glen]

the LEDs being a little inconsistent in their spacing is normal

[hybrid cairn]

if i could just be happy i wouldnt need meds

[cyan lark]

It's certainly possible but that is quite a lot of trouble, and sourcing parts and getting the work done (assuming you can't) would probably be a bit much.

[little glen]

this is due to how they are put onto the pcb

[hybrid cairn]

yeah ik. my issue the damn color diff lmao

[little glen]

they can shift a little during manufacturing but it shouldnt be an issue

[dreamy drum]

my geon raws are starting to piss me off

[inland jetty]

i think aside from a return, thats probably the only option IF he has someone close enough to do it and IF he wants to splurge

[little glen]

why

[hybrid cairn]

look at this worm man

[cyan lark]

Uh oh, windows flying? Clips breaking?

[dreamy drum]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message i just realized this sound is coming entirely from the switch stem itself

[little glen]

cute little worm man

[inland jetty]

did you see mine? 😂

[flat cobalt]

Because they aren’t Jade Pros

[cyan lark]

Maybe try picking a color that isn't pure white?

[hybrid cairn]

ur spacebar sounds hollow bro, also fix ur stabs first

[little glen]

i do not have this issue with mine whatsoever

[hybrid cairn]

no man

[dreamy drum]

tried 3 different spacebars

[little glen]

your spacebar sounds super rattly due to your stabs

[dreamy drum]

once i switched back to oem lekker v1s sound was gone

[hybrid cairn]

i did bro, why is mine so dramatic

[hybrid cairn]

perhaps invest in a good space bar and some spacebar foam

and ur stabs

[dreamy drum]

what i need is new switches xD

maybe this one raw switch is cooked

[little glen]

you see the issue is, i have my led bar set to a color so blue i cant perceive it correctly

[dreamy drum]

but i can hear it when its in my fingers and im depressing it and wiggling the stem

[inland jetty]

i just feel like led variance/rng just fucked you royally. Do you think its worth the return for a replacement? the replacement will probably look more like ours, not perfect but not a worm for sure 😂

[hybrid cairn]

swap ur switches and see

[hybrid cairn]

honestly yeah its kinda driving me up the wall

[dreamy drum]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message i did,
but wizard just said his geon raws don't do this for him

[cyan lark]

This is what I keep saying. I use blue and red for profile colors and indications, looks perfect. White is a bit off.

[dreamy drum]

might try and send their support an email or just steal one from another part of my kb

[hybrid cairn]

yeah cause they shouldnt, and i meant with a diff geon raw switch

[cyan lark]

Steal one from another part....?

I haven't looked closely but I don't think they're the same as the ones under the switches

[hybrid cairn]

try my hex code for yourself: #d2ffdc

[dreamy drum]

yeah, like i reckon the size of the spacebar amplifies the sound im hearing from this possibly defective switch, maybe ill just swap it out with the same switch from another key, hopefully less creaky

[cyan lark]

Oh wait

I thought you were using white?

[icy dew]

Ok using my 3d printer I've found that the PE foam i got is somewhere between 0.4 and 0.5mm, and honestly I think that's good enough

[cyan lark]

That isn't what I took a pic of

[little glen]

The sound you hear when i wiggle on the sides is from when the keycap hits the housing of the stabs (and maybe keyboard case too?)

[rain pebble]

i want to buy the " FBB SFC PBT Retro Cherry Profile Keycaps Set" from mechkeys but i dont know if the quality is good ?

[little glen]

like, middle you cant hear anything

[fluid ravine]

that's normal

[hybrid cairn]

im gna cry

[cyan lark]

There. Again, some variance for sure.

[hybrid cairn]

i am unreasonably upset imma go for a walk

[little glen]

I can see a little bit of color difference

But like

[cyan lark]

Definitely take that walk, I don't think this is world ending.

[inland jetty]

this is just breaking his heart picture by picture LMFAOOO

[inland jetty]

this is why i didnt want to post mine LMFAO

[little glen]

I know, i was posting the example for the guy above that way complaining about his raw he

[hybrid cairn]

WHY IS MINE A WORM

[inland jetty]

god i was giggling when i changed the color LMFAO

[cyan lark]

I posted cause I thought the variance was pretty visible and might make them feel a bit better 🤷

[fluid ravine]

o

[hybrid cairn]

AGHGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[inland jetty]

im sure we're all playing around. He's def not taking a walk, i hope 🤣

[hybrid cairn]

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[hybrid cairn]

IM LEAVING NOW

5-10 MINUTES ILL BE BACK

AND STILL SAD

[inland jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/bitesthedust-freddie-mercury-queen-kelsisman-gif-14119598

[cyan lark]

Savage

[inland jetty]

yeah i never do white builds for that reason man

[cyan lark]

White's impossible, I dunno how people do it

No pets, I imagine.

[inland jetty]

led's are just not reliable and consistent in terms of coloring

[cyan lark]

That but also dust, grime, whatever. Seems like a lot to keep pristine.

[inland jetty]

something is always off, when people do it. I had a friend do it and man, it was a headache getting thing thing all white

[inland jetty]

yeah, youd be cleaning at least monthly

my friend built an all white corsair case, and he does it bi weekly.

god bless him

[cyan lark]

I'd be dead under a pile of animal fur if I didn't clean at least monthly.

[inland jetty]

well i built it, but he cleans it regularly lmfao

[cyan lark]

Your problem now, Jimbo

[inland jetty]

same, i have pets as well, its required. swapping to hardpads, mous wise made a huge difference as well

[cyan lark]

Same dude. All hard all day.

I could have phrased that better, I'm just sure of it.

[inland jetty]

idk how he does it. the case doesnt have a lot of space, its crazy.... i have a lianli lancool something, which is spacious so its easy to clean

[cyan lark]

I like the idea of tiny builds but I've never done one b/c I agree, seems like a hassle.

Plus GPU sizes nowadays amirite?

[inland jetty]

its a massive difference with pets and i got used to it even for valorant. control/balance hardpads are actually usable nowadays

im getting a balanced metal pad, and ordering a controlled metal pad later on

[cyan lark]

Sounds like you're deeper into the pad game than I care to be. I got a wallhack and was happy as can be, no further research.

My pad before was from no joke 20 years old, was like a 1 square foot hard plastic pad. Thing really put in the work.

Still have it, just wanted some more space. Got a lot more.

[hybrid cairn]

they would be if they used high quality rgbw ones

also im back and still sad

[cyan lark]

I don't think I've ever seen rgbw used in a mass production product. Would be cool, but 🤷

[inland jetty]

yeah, im just looking for an endgame control surface so i have a lightly terxtured control glass pad (proect arctica) and a cerapad kin and waiting for a balanced metal pad, also getting a control metal pad once released. One of these will be my end game and i am done. Keyboard wise, i am done, mouse wise, i hajve a beast x and thats also end game.

[little glen]

i will never understand the hard pad hype

[cyan lark]

Nice, yeah it's great fun trying to get to the endgame. When you say metal pad... you mean actual mouse on metal though?!

[hybrid cairn]

i think phillipd hue does

[little glen]

i would use a yoga mat as a mousepad if i could

[cyan lark]

Sure but those are lights that you're buying. I mean like LEDs as part of another product, y'know?

[inland jetty]

like actual metal surface

[cyan lark]

Soft is nice but with pets and life it's just too difficult to keep clean and fur free.

[inland jetty]

i know, its a piece of metal/glass.

[cyan lark]

Damn I had no idea this was even a thing. I thought it was all fabric/glass/plastic

[inland jetty]

oh i was just searching around and someone recommended them to me. its one of those upstarts

[cyan lark]

Link me. Don't link me. Just curious link me.

[hybrid cairn]

thats mainly cause the market for products with lights is either LED products or gamer rgb, the rest have no need for changing color like that. and in gamer rgb most people dont choose white so they skimp out and dont use high quality rgbw diodes

[inland jetty]

i was tempted as it was $50 so i said jesus take the wheel, its still otw. probably will be here in a couple of days

https://2dudezgaming.com/

[reef oar]

i need to get rid of these jades

[cyan lark]

Lots of gamers go with white setups, but it is a cost saving measure for sure. I haven't looked into what those run.

[cyan lark]

You can donate them to my jade graveyard if you want

[reef oar]

GRAVEYARD?

i want them to go to a loving family

[hybrid cairn]

they go with white set ups but not white lights usually, itd be white with light blue lights, or white with red / pink. white lights in such a set up is much rarer

[flat cobalt]

I regret buying so many regular jades honestly

[cyan lark]

I can start practicing my necromancy, c'mon

[reef oar]

you're a serial killer.

[hybrid cairn]

crunchy

[reef oar]

i might go on a mass lubing spree

lube up my jade pros and then lube the jades to sell

[cyan lark]

Thanks, that is cool but I fear for my hands in the dead of winter 🥶

I hope you dig it

[reef oar]

bc i gotta pull them to fit my cf plate anyway so i may as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone

i hate white because it's impossible to keep spotless

[cyan lark]

Honestly I dunno if Jade/Pros need the lube, unless you know you want it

[knotty iron]

then I would feel buyers remorse with my wooting products 😭

[inland jetty]

oh, im solid, i usually am fine with the hard pads being cold for a few minutes. or I wear a long sleeve t shirt for a couple of minutes and that solves it for me

[hybrid cairn]

y?

[reef oar]

dw, i'm the king of lube (no diddy)

[knotty iron]

near 6500K white would be insane

[hybrid cairn]

whyd that cause buyers remose tho

[knotty iron]

because the leds are RGB and not RGBW

[hybrid cairn]

ye but i still dont get why thatd cause buyers remorse

[knotty iron]

its 1 small but very clean QOL in my eyes

[inland jetty]

btw, ive been wanting a wooting macropad for a while, even before they released the uwu stuff.

i really want a rotary knob

[cyan lark]

I got the uwu as an admittedly too expensive one. Just felt like it.

Knob would be nice on it

[knotty iron]

but yes we need the Wootpad HE

[hybrid cairn]

perhaps i dontknow what buyers remorse is but same i want whuite led too

[inland jetty]

i need it for macros with a rotary knob for those endless pages

[cyan lark]

I never considered using a knob to scroll pages 😮

[hybrid cairn]

agreed, see my name lmao i want one rly bad too

[inland jetty]

i forgot the name of the thing i have here, i was recommended by a user here, dang i wish i remmeber his name

[flat cobalt]

Wait until I tell you about Mouse Wheels

[knotty iron]

i mean then I would like all of the products to also have the RGBW LEDs

[cyan lark]

I'm sorry are you from the future?

[inland jetty]

basically, the rotary knob provides endless pages for macros, so i can keep rotating it to move to the next page for new sets of macros etc

[hybrid cairn]

speaking of, mine keeps breaking]

[little glen]

not real, made up by mouse companies (razer, logitech) to sell you more mice

[knotty iron]

page up and page down button obsolesence be like

[hybrid cairn]

same. but none do

[little glen]

thats why apple the only real and good company doesnt have them (because they know mouse wheel isnt real)

[cyan lark]

I still can't get over that they keep releasing new versions of that monstrosity with the charging port on the bottom 🤣

[little glen]

have you considered how genius it is to put the charging port at the bottom? its like telling you to take a break from all the hard work you have been doing responding to emails and go outside for a bit

[inland jetty]

This is what I use ATM

[little glen]

no other company cares about their customers that much

[cyan lark]

Their phones are fine, their computers are fine, but holy smokes they are sniffing some farts w/ their peripherals

[knotty iron]

Sayodevice ULTRA

[cyan lark]

Soon there will be a tap to pay pad there as well so you can pay for the privilege to recharge.

[inland jetty]

its adafruit something, i forgot

[hybrid cairn]

nah hes got a point, apple trackpads are elite

[cyan lark]

Sure the trackpads are incredible, no doubt there.

[hybrid cairn]

looks horrific but im sure its got mad features

[inland jetty]

RP2040 Starter Kit, oh brother it does

https://www.adafruit.com/product/5128

[hybrid cairn]

i aint lookin at allat but its very neet

[little glen]

as they should, such premium design should be rewarded with an (in)voluntary donation

[cyan lark]

Thank you papa apple 🙇‍♂️

[inland jetty]

its just the website with the video, its too long to explain. short video is beter, like less than a minute

tldr, with the rotary knob on it, u can make endless pages of macros, therefore, infinite macros. What can make it a pain in the ass is setting up macros. The backplate is actually sick

[hybrid cairn]

alr looks dope, woot get on making it but better

[inland jetty]

honestly, if they ever make it with a rotary knob, idc how many keys it has i will buy it lmao.

[hybrid cairn]

id much prefer one that double as a numpad

[inland jetty]

essentially, with what i have, it is basically that. I have a page of it where the "keybinds" are the numpad numbers

i also have a page for arrow keys on the next page so its convenient

[hybrid cairn]

noice

[inland jetty]

thats why i want a rotary knob with wootomation. If it somehow works and they can copy how the rp2040 works. god, it doesnt matter what shape it comes in, if you are able to have many many pages of keybinds/macros, you are good to go. It's basically a numpad + whatever else you want it to be

[knotty iron]

i have a shirt with that pattern on it

[inland jetty]

thats funny

[quasi hinge]

Love the space theme

[knotty iron]

i bring it to work sometimes and everyone loves it since I work at a planetarium as guest services lol

btw I have the Holy60 PC and PBTfans X-RAY set

i just got em today

[inland jetty]

it fits my future rebuild for the 80he 😄

[knotty iron]

now for the Holy60 Black Ano and PBTfans Crosshair to come in 👀

[inland jetty]

i just need to find someone to 3d print a clear case that can rotate so i can appreciate the backplate xD

it is rgb so it will look noice

[knotty iron]

since when did you like space stuff?

it was an interest of mine since I was around 3, was always obsessed and would do research outside of school in my elementary school days

[inland jetty]

funny, it started when i was a little kid, I lived in a village up in a mountain so the night skies were clear as day. You see things and it makes you quite curious

check out @quasi hinge build xD

[knotty iron]

me i live in a highly populated city but close by we have an observatory in the least convenient spot

but it works

[quasi hinge]

I still need to post it

[inland jetty]

pretty cool man. It was common for us as children to play at night so we spent some time looking up and such.

[quasi hinge]

That is awesome

[knotty iron]

my parents and friends sometimes asked me questions about space and I was usually able to answer them

[quasi hinge]

I live in a city too so too much light pollution… only when I get to go out of town can I bring my humble telescope

[inland jetty]

the obervatory mustve been so nice huh

[knotty iron]

this part of the city is polluted by light but not enough to where observing is impossible

[inland jetty]

its such a different sight, when city lights are far and away

[cyan lark]

Sky lovers unite. We ditched the city at the start of the pandemic and have been loving the stars.

[knotty iron]

im at work rn and I can send some pics through the telescope if the weather is still good in a few hours

but in #💬│general

[cyan lark]

Tag me if you think of it, always want to see that sorta thing.

[inland jetty]

that was the right move my friend

everyone i know whose moved out of cities never looked back

[cyan lark]

So long as I can stay employed I'm probably not returning

[quasi hinge]

My my greatest experience was visiting the Lake Takapo observatory in NZ

https://www.darkskyproject.co.nz/experiences/the-summit-experience/

Never forget that

The buses had red lights going up

Wild

[cyan lark]

Oh wow, I was there in NZ for my honeymoon, wish I had known 😢

[inland jetty]

im curious, what made you stay. why dont you miss the city

[inland jetty]

damn..... i need this on my bucketlist

[quasi hinge]

If ever you go again, dont miss it

[quasi hinge]

Bucket list worthy 100%

[inland jetty]

and the weather is probably better than the arctics lmfao

[cyan lark]

I grew up in a rural area, so it's more what I'm used to anyway. Dogs can run around in the yard, we get to walk through the woods. Don't have neighbors on top of me. I dunno, bit of all of it.

[cyan lark]

I most certainly will not

[inland jetty]

this would be at least double if it was in the US, price wise, easily.

[harsh dove]

https://mashable.com/article/lg-bendable-5k2k-gaming-monitor-ces-2025

I need this in my life

It bends on its own

[inland jetty]

yeah, too many people... i get it 100%

it also feels like the more densely populated it is, the more anti social it becomes lmao. I live in one of the major cities and dang, people can barely tell who their next door neighbours are.

[knotty iron]

it auto bends??

[harsh dove]

[knotty iron]

WTF

[inland jetty]

im scared to see the price, how many wooting 60he would it take to buy this xD hahaha

[knotty iron]

[harsh dove]

Just press a button

And voila

[harsh dove]

I’m guessing around $2,000

[inland jetty]

it will have a remote

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[inland jetty]

DAMN, time to sell some kidneys and donate some to the bank

[harsh dove]

I’m guessing a higher number in the hopes that it’s cheaper

[inland jetty]

oled too, what else do you want

[harsh dove]

So I can be happy

[inland jetty]

we can all dream it gets priced competitively

[harsh dove]

Ideally it’d be nice if it’s around $1,400

[harsh dove]

Thing is it has no competition lol, it’s the worlds 1st

[inland jetty]

thats fair, its the first of its own kind

[harsh dove]

Yeah lol

[inland jetty]

it would help it get ahead tho, marketshare wise 😄

[cyan lark]

Not to be a party pooper, maybe I'm alone here, but I don't really move my monitor enough to warrant changing the curvature.

[little glen]

wasnt there a bending monitor that came out last year

[inland jetty]

but, we can only hope ❤️

[harsh dove]

Yeah by Corsair

[little glen]

you had to do it manually with some handles on the sides

[inland jetty]

HAHAHAHA

[little glen]

but its not entirely new

[harsh dove]

It’s the first 5K2K that’s why

[little glen]

tbf it is corsair also so noone should ever buy it

[harsh dove]

It’s just for different content viewing like if you’re working or gaming, you just press a button and it changes on its own, you don’t even have to get up and do anything

[inland jetty]

its a luxury feature for sure. 100%

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[little glen]

its good for people that have a hard time deciding on anything so they can change their mind every other wek

week

[harsh dove]

That too

[inland jetty]

for me it would be like, "alright, im playing god of war, i want the immersive experience, swaps to curve", "wanna play valorant, swap to flat"

[harsh dove]

Basically or even like going from gaming to watching a movie or something

[inland jetty]

amazing as well

[harsh dove]

Better have a 5 year warranty or something, don’t want it going soft and not being able to curve anymore lol

[cyan lark]

Can't help my engineer brain thinking "one more thing to go wrong"

[harsh dove]

If my monitor needs viagra ima be pissed

[harsh dove]

Same

[inland jetty]

oh god, i dont even wanna think about the possible qc issues, knowing how shit the monitor space is qc WISE hahahhaha. Im just thinking about best possible scenarios xD

[harsh dove]

Luckily LG is pretty good about that

[quasi hinge]

Maybe not a good idea to buy the first

[quasi hinge]

LG is good

I have the C2

[harsh dove]

Yeah usually never wanna be an early adopter but I find it fun at the same time, you take your risk

[quasi hinge]

Trust me it can have its pitfalls lol

[cyan lark]

For sure it is neat

[harsh dove]

Definitely lol

[quasi hinge]

14900k abuse for me

Bios update dropped it to a 12900k lmao

[harsh dove]

Yeah I’m glad I was unphased by the melting 4090 cables or the exploding 7800X3Ds even tho I got both on launch

[inland jetty]

100%

[quasi hinge]

I did the same

[cyan lark]

A manual curvature adjustment makes some sense to me as a one-ish-time setup thing.

[quasi hinge]

But I got the new gen psu

So no faulty adapter for me

[harsh dove]

Ah okay

[quasi hinge]

Goated CPU

Great choice

[harsh dove]

Time to get rid of it for the 9800x3d jk lol

[inland jetty]

thats quite rough. The cables were a real issue and temps were a problem on the 7000 series

[quasi hinge]

I wouldnt be surprised lol

Fomo hits hard

[cyan lark]

We're build twinsies ❤️

[harsh dove]

Yeah I managed to avoid all of it during that time

No issues for me

[quasi hinge]

Do they still stock the 7800x3d?

[inland jetty]

yep

[cyan lark]

Oh they must

That thing is still an absolute unit

[harsh dove]

There’s ONE game I saw it had a crazy performance uplift that made me want it but I’ll wait for a price drop or something idk

It’s only 11% on avg

And if I’m playing at 4K or 5K then it’s not gonna matter

[quasi hinge]

But it helps big time at 4k?

[harsh dove]

On some games

[quasi hinge]

I saw some reviews it actually boosted some 4k

[inland jetty]

im gonna upgrade from the 5800x3d sometime but either to a 7950x3d or the 9000 series version. depending on price difference. Should last for another 5 years with some light server hosting use.

[quasi hinge]

Ahhhh okay

[harsh dove]

Time to sell it all and get 5090s lol

[quasi hinge]

Hehe

[cyan lark]

What do you host?

[harsh dove]

Number 4 and 5 for me

[inland jetty]

lets make a telegram groupchat for 5, shall we?

[quasi hinge]

We could

[harsh dove]

Where is the nearest one? /s

[inland jetty]

allegedly

[quasi hinge]

I wonder how this will hold up

[inland jetty]

yeah, lets see if they blue balls us or if they actually deliver decent performance gain.

[cyan lark]

#4 should include DINK so I can join

[quasi hinge]

You are included dont worry

[inland jetty]

the more the merrier man hahaha

[quasi hinge]

The more the many-er

Lmao

[harsh dove]

The more..

you buy, the more you save

[inland jetty]

YOU BUY

[harsh dove]

HA

[inland jetty]

hahahahha

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/jensen-gpu-nvidia-gif-6787244001723707525

[inland jetty]

i hate and love that dude so much, god dang it

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[harsh dove]

You kinda have to love him

in a weird hateful way

[uneven hornet]

My friend told me the 60e lekker v1 switches are ass and the lubing is bad on the keyboard, what can i do to fix these issues? i've never modded a keyboard before so idek what to do

someone save me

[harsh dove]

but its love nonetheless

[inland jetty]

perfect way to put it

[cyan lark]

This is unholy

and I'm not even religious

[harsh dove]

None of this would be possible without the power of AI

[inland jetty]

at least now we know.... jensen's been at those diddy parties

[harsh dove]

You can buy new switches or try hand lubing your switches, if you're not happy with them.

[inland jetty]

its not an issue, its a preference xD

[knotty iron]

real

[cyan lark]

Of all the people I don't want to imagine at them, this is high up there.

[harsh dove]

Well I was just going to say just because your friend says they're bad, doesn't mean they are, unless you're having issues with them yourself @uneven hornet

[uneven hornet]

nah i dont even know how to lube switches or replace switches i personally js use whatever someone throws infront of me but i was js asking to see if anyone else had the similar problem n see if they did anything to fix it

[inland jetty]

it would be hilarious if he was also mentioned on the epsten island attendance book

[knotty iron]

please tell me this is Jensen actually eating a GPU cake

[harsh dove]

Well the Lekker V1s are fine in terms of performance, all you're going to really get out of new switches is tighter stem and housing tolerances and a different sound and/or feel

[harsh dove]

AI generated lol

[knotty iron]

sad

[cyan lark]

Incredibly generated.

[knotty iron]

would have been so much cooler if it was a GPU cake

[uneven hornet]

what does lubing the keys do?

[cyan lark]

Look at those mandibles work, that ain't human.

[inland jetty]

it changes the feel of the keyswitch when you type

[uneven hornet]

like lighter or heavier to pess?

[harsh dove]

Can change the sound a bit and make it more consistent than the factory lube and can help the switches feel smoother

[inland jetty]

it does nothing for performance

[harsh dove]

Yeah it's only for feel and sound

[cyan lark]

Well, it makes the switches a bit heavier depending on how much you use.

[uneven hornet]

so if i wanted to lube them to make them sound different, would i js buy the lube offered on wooting and just remove the key and put some on the switch?

[harsh dove]

Yea, you'd need the switch tools and lube kit

[uneven hornet]

alright thank you

[harsh dove]

It'll come with a tool used to crack open the switches

[inland jetty]

i learned that the hard way the first time around 😆. my shift key was muddy lmfaooo

[cyan lark]

Same, that's why I mention it 😄

[harsh dove]

https://youtu.be/WN_-GYLTfpY

[cyan lark]

I was so naive. Lube, if anything it'd go faster, right?

[harsh dove]

Haha yeah too much lube can make it soupy

[cyan lark]

I still have some Geon Raws that I need to clean more. They were my first switch children, and I did not take the best care of them.

[inland jetty]

the open bottoms... i also hate them now.

[cyan lark]

The raws?

[inland jetty]

swapping my lekker v1's to the regular jades... showed me where the lube went

[inland jetty]

i didnt lube my raws, i use them as is, factory lubed due to this reason.

plus its louder vs hand lubbed

[uneven hornet]

im prob just going to buy lekkerv2s when i get the chance

[cyan lark]

That was the right call. I got them before the board arrived, and idle hands are the devil's plaything.

I was so proud and my back hurt so bad after doing them all by hand, and then they were, as you called them, muddy.

Totally self inflicted.

[inland jetty]

are the lekker v2's closed bottom now?

[cyan lark]

No they're open

[inland jetty]

damn

[cyan lark]

Jade/pro and KoMs are the closed switches I've come across

[uneven hornet]

never knew modding a keyboard would be so expensive, im probably going to buy everything to mod it after i upgrade my pc in febuary

[inland jetty]

thats my only gripe with open bottom, the lube goes down the board eventually

[low grotto]

What's a good key switch puller

[cyan lark]

Don't rush and buy stuff on sale if you can

[uneven hornet]

i kinda wanted to snag a 5070 ti in febuary then buy the rest of the parts for my pc

hopefully i can snipe one before it gets sold for 50% more

[inland jetty]

just be mindful that it is just for sound and feel and if you are okay with that, then it is definitely worth it. Some people sell it to others as if it is a must/required but it def is not.

[uneven hornet]

if i cant get my hands on a 5070 ti, ill have to settle for a 4070 ti super

both good options but id like a 5070 ti

[inland jetty]

u play demanding triple a titles?

[uneven hornet]

i play anything

i js want a overkill pc that cna run anygame i play on 240+ fps

so i can use a 240 hz monitor

or maybe get a 360

[harsh dove]

You need a new monitor? I got you lol

[cyan lark]

Bad budget decisions by Cam

[uneven hornet]

i got 2, but i scratched my main monitor while putting the screws in

[harsh dove]

Nah nah I got one for a good price

[uneven hornet]

first 5 minutes and already had a dead pixel and a big scratch 😔

[harsh dove]

Damn

[cyan lark]

Oof

[inland jetty]

thats awful

[uneven hornet]

wil lthere be any discounts coming to wooting soon

[inland jetty]

thats honestly why i like to buy the monitors in person so i can do a fast return, same day most of the time. does oled have that problem?

[harsh dove]

Out of the OLEDs I've gotten I've never received a dead pixel yet, tbh I've never received a dead pixel on any of my monitors before

[cyan lark]

Not likely, it seems. They seem to be selling quite well at full price, and don't do regular discounts.

[harsh dove]

Yeah Wooting don't be doing discounts

[uneven hornet]

💔

[harsh dove]

unless you're already an owner of a product and get discounts thru your account

[uneven hornet]

anyone got a discount code for a keyboard

[inland jetty]

that is promising, ive been waiting for oled to go down in prices a bit as well as for more oled screens for competition xD

[cyan lark]

FWIW that makes biting the bullet easier since you know you're getting the best price for it bad_poker_face.png

[uneven hornet]

i heard that oled has a burn in issue

[harsh dove]

Yeah OLEDs are getting better imo

[tropic urchin]

You missed the Black Friday sale on those bad boys

Them mfers were hot off the presses with 40% discounts

[harsh dove]

If you're only gaming then it's a non-issue tbh esp if you also use the built-in features to prevent burn-in

[tropic urchin]

Newer gen has more features to combat it. I’d be more worried about getting dead pixels tbh

[harsh dove]

I got mine on BF for $799 lol was originally $1299

[uneven hornet]

Anyone here good with pcs that could give me some advice on the build i want to buy soon

[inland jetty]

for the monitors or just the tv versions?

[tropic urchin]

My current monitor was on sale for $999 😳

[tropic urchin]

I only checked monitors, I imagine TVs should too

Considering those were the OG Black Friday shit

[harsh dove]

Yeah amazon sells my monitor for $895 now so was a solid Black Friday deal I got

[harsh dove]

Sure wassup

[uneven hornet]

check dms

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/hamstermert-gif-4959950239614197565

[inland jetty]

tv's were i didnt check monitors. But idk what i want specifically still in terms of oled. If i want high refresh rate for comp games vs up to 120hz just for those nice looking games and for movies.

[harsh dove]

All the new OLEDs are 240Hz+ now so

[tropic urchin]

Depending on your GPU you could get some sick 360 hz 2k monitors

[inland jetty]

even tv's?

[tropic urchin]

I’m running 4k 240 which is fucking absurd it’s possible yet but

Probably not

[harsh dove]

Nah not TVs

think they 120 still

[inland jetty]

my bad i shouldve clarified

[harsh dove]

all g

[uneven hornet]

i sent the list and the pcpartpicker link in ur dms

[tropic urchin]

The meta for OLED is to remove your desktop icons and to ‘hide’ your taskbar, and you should never have to worry about burn ins as long as you pixel refresh 1x per day

[glacial wind]

Oh I think my 80he cf plate gets here today. It got held up in customs a couple days

[inland jetty]

dont you just love this cult

[harsh dove]

Mine says it arrived in my home country

[tropic urchin]

I think I inadvertently started it too

Terrible influence I am

[glacial wind]

And I think all my switches come today too

[harsh dove]

This, exactly what I do

[glacial wind]

So I’ll have some sticky rice v2, Ttc kom and Ttc kom rgb to add to the comparisons

[tropic urchin]

It’s a little more babying than your standard monitor, but once you get into the habit it’s not bad

Burn ins imo at this point are overblown

[inland jetty]

damn, u guys are getting me jelous lmao

[cyan lark]

Hope you have some earmuffs handy

[tropic urchin]

OLED mad nice

[harsh dove]

I’m not tryna flex, just sharing/showing

[tropic urchin]

You can look at smoke effects in game and it looks like it’s right in front of you

[cyan lark]

I quickly gave up on babying mine. It seems to be holding up well despite only being careful not to just leave stuff static on it for stretches.

[inland jetty]

those are sacriligious, you need to appreciate the sound. be the sound

[tropic urchin]

Oh you got that curve too damn

[cyan lark]

Conductor of the symphony of pain

[glacial wind]

Or you permanently display an inappropriate graphic in the corner of your monitor so in a year you ask lg why there’s male genitalia burnt into your screen and they give you a new monitor for free. /r/unethicallifetip

[quasi hinge]

Yup

[tropic urchin]

I think they’d just send you a refurbished unit which will be 50/50

[harsh dove]

Agreed, it's really not that bad esp if you just take care of it

[quasi hinge]

Yesss this

[tropic urchin]

The only thing that keeps me up at night is if one day I’ll get a dead pixel randomly

[inland jetty]

i love to hear the bangs and the clacks while im slamming my keys while playing

[quasi hinge]

Should be lol

[inland jetty]

or when im making too many mistakes typing and im slamming my esc key

[tropic urchin]

Low key with OLED if I see a bug in game I freak out thinking there’s something on my screen 💀

[harsh dove]

and honestly if you have an OLED, if you run 2 monitors just use your 2nd monitor for all that "static" content

that's what I do

[inland jetty]

im gonna go look for an oled tv while waiting for a goddamn sale

[quasi hinge]

Its the pure blacks with no white screen bleeding

And if you play in the dark

Its like nothing else

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I’ve gotten so spoiled by not getting that grey shit

[inland jetty]

bastards 🥲

😂

[quasi hinge]

Once you go oled, you cant go back

[tropic urchin]

That ips backlight bleed SUCKS

[quasi hinge]

Id take 90 fps oled over any faster monitor lol

It is next level

[tropic urchin]

I get about that on 240hz on 4k, shit is crispy

[quasi hinge]

I get 120 on my C2

[inland jetty]

im just out here salivating at the thought of it

[quasi hinge]

I like the size too

Just wish LG would make a 240 42inch lol

[tropic urchin]

I struggle with my 32” at times 🤣

[quasi hinge]

Too big or too small

[tropic urchin]

Borderline too big but it’s nice

[quasi hinge]

Just set it back further from you

[tropic urchin]

I’ve gotten used to it, but sometimes I wish I stayed 27” for fps

Granted I can do 27” simulation but it never feels the same

360hz 27” 2k is prob tech, but it’s fine

[cyan lark]

Of all the boons of OLED, losing gray blacks is the best

[quasi hinge]

I play fps and use 42

[quasi hinge]

Totally agree

[inland jetty]

what the hell

[tropic urchin]

Alright you’re a mad man but I respect it 🤣

[quasi hinge]

I set my monitor back

[inland jetty]

man ur head must be on a swivel

[tropic urchin]

Best be careful or the UAPs might start testing you

[quasi hinge]

Tv is far back

[cyan lark]

I was hoping you'd fuck me up with a pic and I'm broken now

[tropic urchin]

Even have my favorite planet as your background pic 😳

That’s gorgeous

[cyan lark]

Do I spy HD600/650s through that red glow?

[quasi hinge]

Yes you do

[cyan lark]

Knew you had taste

[inland jetty]

shit, honestly, this is making me think twice at a practical level.

[tropic urchin]

I almost tried to cop some open back sennies, until my Xenns top died and then ended up upgrading and now I have headphones as earbuds

[inland jetty]

you can still technically try hard with a 42 inch monitor if youre far enough

[quasi hinge]

Yes a foot stool is important

Hehe

[inland jetty]

560s here as well

would be hilarious if some of you guys mess with music softwares

[quasi hinge]

I can just move the desk back and forth or the tv stand

[fluid ravine]

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807611379691.html? Holy flex cuts- 😭

[quasi hinge]

My buddy does but im not endowed with musical abilities

[cyan lark]

Nah, son of a music nerd. I played some, but mostly an enjoyer now.

I envy those that have the touch, so

[inland jetty]

you can definitely have fun with it. Even if you just like to make instrumentals etc.

or edm where you can create a whole song out of like 3 phrases lmfao. It was really fun doing this for a class

[cyan lark]

I just never really got the theory or music crafting bug/knack. Still play on occasion, but I remember hacking around on my father's gear when I was a kid and it was like listening to a donkey sing.

[bitter pecan]

Hi all. I just put some new stabilizers in my 80he and I noticed that my spacebar is sticking a bit. Should I simply add some more lubricant? I'm really not sure what I'm doing.

[cyan lark]

Is it sticking when you press the key in all the way (bottom out) or something else?

[bitter pecan]

Yes for a little bit and overall feels very friction-y to press.

[inland jetty]

there are many different approaches. Its kinda like switches, it depends what you like/what sticks. For me, I can never learn with just purely music theory/writing. i need to see it/do it in action.

[cyan lark]

Stickiness when bottoming out is probably caused by the pads under the stabilizer housing which get sticky when they come into contact w/ grease. Did you see those white pads when you replaced the stabs?

[bitter pecan]

Yes. Should I open it up and wipe them off?

[cyan lark]

I believe you, and I'd like to do some more adventuring... at some point.

[cyan lark]

You can just wipe them off, but honestly I'd recommend you peel them off entirely and wipe the area clean.

This is a very common issue, unfortunately. I also experienced it.

[bitter pecan]

Would that also cause the frictiony feel or is that something else entirely?

[stone flax]

remove lubricant

[cyan lark]

Generally... that I'm no so sure about. Taking a vid and sharing it here could help. Yeah it could be too much lube.

[bitter pecan]

Likely too much lube in hindsight. Will remove some and update. Thanks.

[cyan lark]

Especially if you lubed the stem/inside the housing

[reef oar]

what does gateron lube from factory

i assume they don't lube everything

like the springs

[tawdry tree]

No. SW Knight V2s would fit though.

[stone flax]

No

[glass comet]

thanks

[tawdry tree]

👍

[glass comet]

sold out everywhere tho

[tawdry tree]

Where are you from?

and which keycaps are you using/planning to use?

[abstract cedar]

I would like to buy a new case for the 60he but I would like to keep the yellow strap that says “take control” What case could I buy?

[glass comet]

im in the us and im using some doubleshot cherry keycaps

[stone flax]

Just use stock stabs?

[sacred elm]

alumaze?

[tawdry tree]

and which switches are you using currently?

[sacred elm]

also there is aim60

[glass comet]

jade pros

[sacred elm]

with strap holder

[abstract cedar]

Ya

[sacred elm]

check aim60

but i dont know where you can buy it

maybe aliexpress

[tawdry tree]

and no issues right? You don’t need the LP version, so if the regular SW Knight V2s are in stock, get those.

I assume you have the 60HE+ prebuilt?

[sacred elm]

or just get alumaze from wooting

[abstract cedar]

I’ll check it out, ty @sacred elm

[glass comet]

i got the module

[tawdry tree]

Oh, then there’s no need to swap stabs.

Just tune them.

[tawdry tree]

The Holy60 also has a strap attachment iirc.

[glass comet]

theyre mad rattly tho ive lubed them with 205g0 and molykote

[tawdry tree]

Did you balance them?

[glass comet]

yea

[tawdry tree]

Is the “rattle” consistent on both sides?

Or one side rattles more than the other?

[glass comet]

its consistent on both sides

[tawdry tree]

You could add slightly more lube on the stem/housing walls. That’ll help but not too much.

[glacial wind]

Do you have a video of this rattle so we can see what you’re talking about?

[tawdry tree]

If it’s consistent on both sides it’s just the stabs themselves.

[stone flax]

Did u just lube

or did u bother balancing

My little sigma boy

[glass comet]

i balanced it too

[stone flax]

Feimfeonfeon

check if its the keycap

[tawdry tree]

@glass comet if you press the left then right side of the stabilized key a bit harder, does it help at all? It can be that the keycap isn’t properly seated on the stabs (because you use long pole switches).

[glass comet]

the keys get stuck lol im using stock stabs rn

[tawdry tree]

get stuck?

[glass comet]

yea like the keys will tilt if i press on one side

[sacred elm]

just record video

[tawdry tree]

yeah that’s normal, just press one side then the other. See if it helps.

and a video would be handy too.

[glass comet]

nvm i figured it out

its the switches making the noise

[stone flax]

[tawdry tree]

Jade Pros shouldn’t rattle.

If that’s what you hear.

[glacial wind]

Oh. Ttc magneto pom wipe the floor with the rgb and normal magneto

As least for sound clarity

I just did some quick and dirty tests
Right to left = regular magneto > rgb magneto > pom

Top wobble chatter sound

Quick 3 key sound test

[fluid ravine]

Which one is which, i haven't learned their names and switch model yet

[sacred elm]

oh yea those two on the right are doodoo

[glacial wind]

Right to left is regular magneto, then rgb magneto then pom magneto

[kind helm]

Not worthy

[sacred elm]

wait what

i thought left was pom

[glacial wind]

Er mis typo

[sacred elm]

💀

[glacial wind]

I mean right to left lol

[sacred elm]

so its pom - rgb - regular?

[glacial wind]

Yeah

[sacred elm]

yea pom has cleaner sound

[polar girder]

POM on top

[glacial wind]

Yeah easily cleaner sound

[sacred elm]

rgb 🤮

[bitter pecan]

help! i was going to replace my stabilizers but was having issues with friction on the new ones. i put the stock ones back on and now the keys are not returning up.

[sacred elm]

check if the wire is seated properly

in the holes

[kind helm]

either the plate didn't sit properly, or the stab didn't sit properly, or there is lube on the pcb underneath the stab housing

actually wouldn't be the plate's probably since it is screw in. that is more platemount thingy

holy fck talk about big boy cooler, the one on top is 4090

[polar girder]

Yeah, basically start over with the stabs and double check everything as you go.

[polar girder]

That’s funny if that ends up becoming true cuz two years ago that was basically the 4090 ti leak lol

[harsh dove]

5000 series cooler's aren't that big

[polar girder]

https://www.google.com/amp/s/wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-ti-aka-next-gen-titan-pictured-a-bit-more-quad-slot-behemoth-with-the-largest-founders-edition-cooler-to-date/amp/

Yeah 5090 FE is two slot

That’s some weird gamers nexus titan leak thingy

[harsh dove]

Gamers Nexus has the Titan Prototype cooler

[kind helm]

i just saw it in my feed, even the board is placed in a different manner than "traditional" card

[polar girder]

Right yeah

[harsh dove]

Yeah its just a prototype cooler

not gonna exist

has a flow thru design

[polar girder]

Yeah they did the same thing with 4090 lol

Just stuff for the sake of stuff

Yo if I get venom which switch should I get

Raw would be easy purchase and lightest spring

But Jade pro and KoM POM also so tempting

[kind helm]

i wont be surprise if this becomes a thing though, because on the hardware side the improvement has slowed down. now they on some AI copium. i think sooner or later they just gonna be like amd and just try to squeeze more performance out through more power and heat

[polar girder]

Everyone’s been doing that tho too lol

[kind helm]

raw would most likely be the best, think they did the calibaration stuff with heavy focus on raw first

[polar girder]

Ok yeah makes sense

[kind helm]

(just what i heard)

[polar girder]

Go all Geon

Still have to test PP vs Nylon plates tho to figure out which one to order

☠️

[kind helm]

jade pro i used the magnetic jade option (asked arc he is doing the same too)

i wonder if the name is meaningful in this list, perhaps it is more of a travel distance thing

[polar girder]

Right

[kind helm]

essentially OC from manufacturer

[sacred basalt]

how do i tell if a certain set of keycaps will work on 80he?

[kind helm]

if the set has all the keys on the correct row

mainly the pgdown up and the home and end

[sacred basalt]

im 100% new to keyboard stuff ive just been on a logitech g910 until i noticed i literally couldnt 1 frame tap with it lol

so id just have to be looking at like, this, and comparing the rows to 80he?

[sacred elm]

most keycaps work, it should have this mx stem or whatever its called

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1299238883753594900/1324314218803101776/KYB500-CMX-1X1-4.png?ex=678044fa&is=677ef37a&hm=193018f270b34d6d54d0b5c70e337fe4498a936ee574c140da52a918eda3f01a&

[sacred basalt]

is there anything i need to double check with regards to like, length of keys and stuff like that?

[sacred elm]

those keycaps will work

[kind helm]

mainly probably just make you the set you get is a "base set"

[glacial wind]

Oh i forgot turing and raire were the ones who wanted to see the magneto comparison @cyan lark @visual ore > #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[sacred basalt]

kk, thx

[chilly mural]

sad

tbh, 35% of my time with pc is roleplaying with AI, so I'm more hoping high end AI becomes more accessable

and not censored and slopped to shit

[kind helm]

tis not, tis just physics. what is sad is game dev not spending enough time optimizing because gpu companies gotta make that cash

[knotty iron]

Raw HE is defo my favourite :)

[sacred elm]

[quasi hinge]

Amazing comment on the GPUs:

“Correct me if I wrong but the more dedicated AI stuff Nvidia adds to GPUs reduces the 3D rendering power, so we're trading real frames for fake ones.”

[kind helm]

oh god please for fuck sake hell nah

[quasi hinge]

Is it true or not in your opinion?

[kind helm]

jensen was already coping on stage, i only render one real pixel, then rest is done by ai

i mean AI essentially no matter what they do to it it is still like weird form of patterns stored in model. i think there will always be a trade off between accuracy and power consumption

[knotty iron]

really the only benefit for true raster is the extra potential for a possible 50% VRAM jump if the desktop parts get 3GB modules instead of their current 2GB modules they use

[kind helm]

if they swap to AI focus its just gonna be for the companies

for games, it can't be good, i dont believe at least right now

[kind helm]

if they do that, then most likely they would throw in some sharpening and stuff to post which just suck up power in the different way i think i understand you words wrong xD, i was thinking about the "ai optimized texture" thingy

my prof told me this like 1 year into research work, "there is always gonna be trade off, nothing is going to be perfect."

[knotty iron]

for instance, we all know a 4090 laptop is the same GPU as thr 4080 desktop but with a lower power draw, same memory bus and band

5090 laptop and 5080 desktop same deal, but the 5090 laptop uses 3GB modules while the 5080 uses 2GB along with every other GPu config, laptop or desktop

i dont think they will allow 3GB modules for 60 class cards

70, 70Ti, 80 and 90 likely yes

[kind helm]

[knotty iron]

no changes to the memory bus and band

👏

again this is SPECULATION

but it makes sense! they want people to buy for AI? well give em the VRAM and gamers and creators will benefit too

but yeah all of this really should have went to #🔌│tech

and not here

[kind helm]

dead chat anyway

[true dove]

Does anyone know any like knock off spots on Amazon for key caps that send the correct package instead of scamming

I’ve only got 1 rn but the Keycaps they got are more festive/seasonal type things

Yes

Ik keycap sets are expensive on the other sites that alex listed in his thing

KBFans was fine just my payment for PayPal was confusing cuz it kept closing out and not charging my order

😭

[kind helm]

maybe just bugged, if you dont want to pay the high cost for stuff, amazon or ali are the place to go, not sure about the return policy on ali though, haven't tried returning stuff from there, but the price is decent espeically if you find them with free shipping :3

[glacial wind]

ali is great if working with good vendors or choice stores (which are aliexpress managed)

The cf plate race is over

A victor has been determined

[sacred elm]

https://tenor.com/view/miss-you-gif-11374444315394231730

[glacial wind]

No issues with tolerance either

[sacred elm]

nice

[sacred elm]

solid

[kind helm]

did you get kbdfan's 80 case as well?

i remember the mount even though also uses the middle silicone pad but is slightly different

[glacial wind]

nah i don't do cases over 5 degrees

so no kdbfans case for me

Some final photos before I swap out the keycaps and plate

[sacred elm]

Pc plate

🤮

Bye soft keyboard 🤓
Hello stiff keyboard final boss

[kind helm]

clear sign of a person who lives alone

[kind helm]

did you do a new set of stab, i was waiting on the sound test xD

[glacial wind]

I already had knight v2 installed

[unkempt venture]

hi can i ask you a question

[knotty iron]

what stabs

[sacred elm]

knight v2

[flat cobalt]

I hate that the stupid staebies didn’t fit

[fallen pecan]

standard or long pole?

[flat cobalt]

was about to ask as well

[glacial wind]

Long pole

[knotty iron]

Are the TTC KOMs longpoles?

[glacial wind]

yeah 3.4mm travel for magneto rgb/pom and 3.5mm for regular magneto

[quasi hinge]

What is your aim with this plate?

Sound / feel?

[glacial wind]

Maximum clack and stiffness

[austere cradle]

What is the f11 button on the 60he?

[kind helm]

let the sharpnesse and loudness wash over you

[sacred elm]

fn -

[glacial wind]

quickie sound test with 80he using ttc magneto pom and carbon fiber plate

[austere cradle]

Thankyou

[sacred elm]

max clack

[kind helm]

that spacebar t h u d

[sacred elm]

its probably even clackier irl right

[kind helm]

you setting it up with the same switch as him?

[sacred elm]

no I use jade pros

[kind helm]

the board screams get the fck out of my room

[sacred elm]

so it wont be as loud

ill try both fr4 and cf

[kind helm]

a bit of tape probably getting to the level of get the fck out of my building

[sacred elm]

will see, cf might be too stiff for me, because i play osu and my fingers will get obliterated while playing high bpm maps

[flat cobalt]

I’ll be fine with standard if I’m on Jade Pros right?

[sacred elm]

yes

I use stock stabs with jade pros

[chilly mural]

beautiful

[kind helm]

[chilly mural]

low weight spring can help

[kind helm]

Embrace the pain

[sacred elm]

it wont be soft

[flat cobalt]

[kind helm]

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

[sacred elm]

i mean soft

duh

[glacial wind]

yeah it's fine. Worst case scenario if you get wobble you spend $5 on geon stab spacers

throw that onto any stab and you have a long pole stab

[kind helm]

they change it to 3 dolla on divinikey and geon

geon actually 2.5 rn

[glacial wind]

Well geon is tricky cause of shipping, I just say $5 because worst case scenario if they can’t find it locally via divinikey they can go buy off aliexpress for $1-2 markup lol

[proven wadi]

@glacial wind have you tried the geon raw? if so how do you like the ttc pom ones compared to the geon raw?

[glacial wind]

Yeah I have raw he in my 60he right now

ttc pom is totally different sound to raw he. Very loud and high pitched

[kind helm]

do you actually plan to daily drive it or its really just a meme

[glacial wind]

nah i'll daily use it. Sound honestly doesn't bother me at all unless it's muddy sound

long as it's clean sound then any sound is fine for me

[sacred elm]

hop on jade pros yall

[glacial wind]

i just don't like that lekker v1 type chattery sound

[proven wadi]

@glacial wind ah thank you, i rly like how the geon raw sounds, so i guess ill stick with them 🙂

[kind helm]

yeee at the time probably they were just trying to make something that works

[glacial wind]

for my 80he i just max stability and stiffness, so ttc pom and cf plate is easy choice there

my 60he is the one i throw on whatever for fun since i just use it once in awhile for pc cafe and such

[random hull]

thanks, any chance you have the stock one recorded too?

[kind helm]

wait this thing is out already?

[random hull]

would you say its one of the more impactful keyboard mods one can do , depending on preference obv

[sacred elm]

yes

[fallen pecan]

nuphy peach blossom, berry profile dye sub pbt

[kind helm]

numpy nuphy keycaps good?

[fallen pecan]

ye theyre pretty nice

[kind helm]

they were the one who made ghost bar

interesting

[glacial wind]

oops

wrong v ideo lol

[kind helm]

[glacial wind]

lemme find the right one

[random hull]

thanks 👍

[glacial wind]

this is just normal ttc magneto pom

[quasi hinge]

Got it. How about performance? Possible it could help in any way?

Or same

[kind helm]

they shouldnt be any

[glacial wind]

it reduces deadzone by a small amount, but outside of that mostly just no bounce = less inconsistency on presses, but it's very minor thing

[random hull]

id like to think i can tell the difference atleast yeah

[glacial wind]

cf just makes the normal ttc magneto pom sound louder basically

it's same thing just it makes it even louder lol

[random hull]

ahh, okay. so it would have that sort of impact on all switches that way?

just preference i guess huh

[quasi hinge]

Noticeable by human sense or he macro pad measurement?

[random hull]

although less inconsistency sounds like good thing to have, maybe fun to mess with down the line

[glacial wind]

for the switches it's noticable deadzone difference, for plate it's more human usage depending on how you press

[kind helm]

if you really want to max out the incredibly small consistency, probably tray mount venom pcb + raw he

[glacial wind]

for example if you play osu you can notice slight differences in consistency between a fully stiff plate vs. a pc plate for example

[quasi hinge]

Ahhhhhh

What about performance in fps?

Cuz im function over aesthetic

[glacial wind]

generally you won't notice unless you're particularly sensitive to that sort of thing

[quasi hinge]

Im very sensitive

[glacial wind]

the ttc magneto pom difference i did notice a little but it's not game changing or anything, just made the wasd movement a tiny bit more hair trigger

[quasi hinge]

Ooooooo

[glacial wind]

just basically meant I was playing with almost no deadzone. The plate is more consistency i just don't like bouncing ever when i'm gaming for anything that requires precise inputs

[sacred elm]

you must be insanely high on autism spectrum to notice the difference im pretty sure

[kind helm]

on top of that

you gotta use settings that is pretty much unreasonable for daily use

[glacial wind]

it's actually why you'll notice wooting was one of the few to offer pc plate stock, because the chinese manus all had issues doing softer plate + very precise settings

that's why they're all on alu plates and such

[kind helm]

at that point you blow on the keyboard it probably gonna start triggering if your switch spring is light

[glacial wind]

especially since they're obsessed with 0.01 stuff over there

[quasi hinge]

Cheers thanks for the info

[sacred elm]

tbh pc plate is fine on 60he, but on 80he i find it very soft because of silicon gasket

[kind helm]

think they were probably trying to compensate for the stiffness of the plate + pcb setup with the extra bounce

[chilly mural]

on sale now???

[fallen pecan]

in china

[kind helm]

just do tray mount with venom :V if you really want it max it out

[quasi hinge]

Yeah….

From my 60he and 60he+ with the alumaze, I remember it being nice and stiff

[chilly mural]

Uooooh

[glacial wind]

honestly i think they just tried to max thock

[kind helm]

that too probably

[glacial wind]

so they put the plate that sounded best to them

but a lot of gamers who aren't from custom mech world actually like stiff plates for gaming so it's kind of eh

[kind helm]

because what we have seen from salvation and frog mini is that despite the softer mount, the screw that goes between pcb and plate causes the board to be more stiff compare to mx board

[quasi hinge]

I like the stiff plate in the alumaze build I had

[kind helm]

so yeee

[chilly mural]

$40, that's nice

[quasi hinge]

Could you please share the link to this plate

Or whatever is out there

I might be interested

Viagra for my 80he lol

[glacial wind]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008042712779.html

[quasi hinge]

Cheers ty

[glacial wind]

he sells a bunch of options, with cf being the stiffest

[kind helm]

i would say though you may not enjoy it, cf plate makes it much louder compare to soft plastic plates. and the difference is not noticible for fps i'd say, osu maybe

just something to consider, cf is fun :3 not hating on cf

[quasi hinge]

I got my headphones on gaming dodging bullets

Strictly a gaming rig

[kind helm]

then it can be a play, i actually dig my alu plate more when headphone on

tone it down a little hehe

[quasi hinge]

I prefer the stiffness similar to the alumaze build I had and remember loving it

[sacred elm]

fr4 is balanced option asdasmos, its between cf and pc

[kind helm]

i'd say probably impossible with 80he

[sacred elm]

you might try that

[quasi hinge]

Balanced for sound?

[kind helm]

i think the silicone pad thingy gotta stay on there in order to sit in the case

[sacred elm]

yea its kinda mix of both clack and thock 50/50

[kind helm]

then its gonna bounce anyway

[quasi hinge]

Id just be more interested in keeping it stiff

[sacred elm]

its stiffer than pc

[quasi hinge]

Clock clack thock thicc

Cant hear haha

[quasi hinge]

So I should go brass

[glacial wind]

well if you just want max stiffness then go cf

[quasi hinge]

Oh right missed that on the link

My bad

[sacred elm]

if you care about rgb, it will be poop with cf plate btw

because its black

[quasi hinge]

Saved me time and monaaay

Need it for the darkness…

[kind helm]

nah i think he be fine, hes doing a soft glow thing anyway

[quasi hinge]

Yes

[cyan lark]

In the dark it’s still visible

[kind helm]

you can still see the cap for sure, its just not gonna go crazy

[tawdry tree]

preference, backlight is worse but shine through is just as good.

[quasi hinge]

Brightness is down to 30%

[cyan lark]

In daylight not so much

[quasi hinge]

Okay great

[quasi hinge]

The room becomes dark as I set it

Philips hue ty

Then The black of the oled is maxxxxed

[kind helm]

do you have the amazon thingy with the voice control as well?

[quasi hinge]

Hell no

[sacred elm]

[kind helm]

its nice when you go to bed

[quasi hinge]

Alphabet agencies get enough of our crap lol

[kind helm]

i just say "alexa turn off the lights"

[quasi hinge]

Why give them extra haha

[quasi hinge]

Alexa will always be listening if you cool with that

[kind helm]

i am cool with that i got nothing to hide, but its still kinda fcked up that like it recommands thing that i never search for

[quasi hinge]

That is nice though

There is just a part of me that cant give more lol

[kind helm]

it recommand things that were mentioned in the convo

thats kinda...

[quasi hinge]

Yeah… that is too dystopian for me

[glacial wind]

This is in the dark with max rgb on with cf plate and ttc pom which already reduces rgb

[quasi hinge]

Too much

[glacial wind]

So depending on what switches you use and how bright you want it then it may still be enough for you

[quasi hinge]

Oh that is not bad at all

[quasi hinge]

I use Raws

My keyboard brightness is only at 30%

[sacred elm]

0%

[glacial wind]

Yeah you’ll be fine then. I don’t even turn rgb on so I had to turn it on to check lol

[quasi hinge]

Do you play in the dark?

[sacred elm]

most of the time yea

[quasi hinge]

Thank you

[quasi hinge]

Im jelly you know the keys

[kind helm]

fn + ; and ' for rgb

remember the functions

[sacred elm]

Oh yea I never look at my keyboard

[quasi hinge]

I just never did

[quasi hinge]

I do enough that I need it

[kind helm]

happy coincidence that rgb works beautifully with your ufo cap

[quasi hinge]

I love it

I appreciate the appreciation

[glacial wind]

alright mandarin orange break then time to throw domikey ruby onto optimum

[sacred elm]

[maiden shadow]

Pls oh lord wooting send me my order

[proven wadi]

this soundes pretty nice i think!

[random hull]

i dont think my geons will survive if i have to pull em out if i want to swap someday 😹 and i only have 2 spares

[sacred elm]

youll have to disassemble it, it will be easier

but yea raws are getting cooked easilly

[random hull]

hmm saw people saying either the puller breaks, or the geons dont survive

or atleast a few of them wont make it out 💀

[sacred elm]

oh yea definitely forget stock puller💀 get metal puller and disassemble the keyboard completely, it will be easier

[random hull]

yeah i can see myself wanting to mess around with the plates a bit so i bookmarked the aliexpress link up above for later

hop on jade pros

[proven wadi]

@random hull https://www.keychron.com/products/gateron-switch-puller get something like this :p

[random hull]

looks good, thanks

[kind helm]

wiggle instead of pulling straight up

[proven wadi]

i think amazon have some knock off of it too that is cheaper

[kind helm]

my raw survived 3 to 4 plate swap i think

hrm swagkey v3 is for sale now in korea

v3 knights that is

[sacred elm]

knight v3? 😳

[glacial wind]

yeah

[sacred elm]

😳

[glacial wind]

don't think anything major changed besides some minor optimizations though

i still need to try out those typeplus stabs

[fast nacelle]

Is there any keyboard cases like this that fit the wooting?

I don't think there is any

specifically cases that don't hug the keycaps

[glacial wind]

Optimum + Domikey ruby kind of slaps

[fast nacelle]

that's clean

[fallen pecan]

very clean with direct lighting

[little glen]

why do these keycaps always look cel shaded hahaha

[glacial wind]

It’s the translucence lol

[little glen]

especially when photographed at an angle

[fast nacelle]

is the optimum case higher than the base one

for the 60he
