for me,
jade pro + cf combo is clean crispy clack
raw + alu combo is full lively, a lot of things going on

sacred elm
#

Josh do you have fr4

kind helm
#

that is what i had on my salvation long time ago with wooting

sacred elm
#

Do you like jade pros on fr4 btw?

kind helm
#

never tried with jade pro

#

after i tried cf though i dont really see a point with fr4 (maybe also depends on the case)

#

i feel like cf is basically how fr4 feels but a bit more intense

#

i kinda think of the plates like alu = loud with sharp bottom out + deep top out, cf = loud with sharp bottom out and top out, pc = muted top out

#

fr is like cf but not as loud relatively quiet on both

#

i did enjoy fr4 with raw though, there is a old sound test in wootstation i did.

Since my attempts with TX AP failed: Does anyone know any working stabilizers for my Wooting Lekker Edition with the Lekker Keycaps? TX AP had issues with the keys only lifting maybe 50% of the way. Long pole prefered.

proven wadi
#

i liked tainted raw he + alu + tofu 2.0 + pbt the best from ur videos :p

kind helm
dull sequoia
#

Yes

kind helm
#

were you able to lift it up manually with a small amount of force?

dull sequoia
#

Someone here said it might be related to the keycaps

#

Yes

kind helm
#

and you lubed them yourself, right?

dull sequoia
#

It was eben enough to turn the keyboard upside down

#

Even

#

I sliiiiightly applied lube, but barely any

#

No grease

kind helm
#

you can see from the side of the keyboard if your key cap is sit properly

#

if it is not sit properly then the one that is messed up should be slightly taller than everything else on the same row

dull sequoia
#

Well sadly I put the original stabs in by now. Will probably have to take the time and put them back in again to test what the actual reason is

kind helm
#

if it is sit properly, then most likely you overlubed. I personally would just spam it a couple times then it should be fine.

If it kinda stuck at the bottom, that most likely means that you have lube stick to the pcb, then you just wipe the lube and put the stab back on you would be fine

dull sequoia
#

I was hoping someone tested some other stabs with the Lekker Edition

#

There was no lube on the PCB

#

It doesnt lift up higher then maybe 50% and if I turn the keyboard upside down it worked. So it does not get stuck heavily

kind helm
#

It would be easier to tell with a picture, but if you got things to do you can just take a picture and ask in another time

#

this is pretty common issue

dull sequoia
#

Hm overlubing I doubt. But I will try again with an unlubed pair

kind helm
#

you dont have to buy extra if you dont have them already, even stock stabilizers are fine, it is just tuning it takes a bit of time.

dull sequoia
#

I had a slightly overlubed knight V2 recently and that felt differently. Slightly mushy.

#

I only lubed two stabs. I wanted to test them first

#

I tuned the stock ones. They are okay, just a slight rattle. Probably due to a very slight bend. But I wanted to try others and I was too lazy to straighten the wires of the stock ones

I know it’s hard to make the wooting thocky but what plate and switches would make my wooting thocky?

Well as close to thocky as possible

What plate and switches do you have?

duh I should make that thing again and sell it.

Beat stabilizers for the 60he?

Hey guys what do they exactly mean with this ?

yea

#

i almost removed it without checking

calm pulsar
kind helm
high sphinx
#

Yeah cause you said unless you need it you dint have you remove it but what if u need it do i have to remove it then ?

kind helm
#

I just used my hand to wiggle it out. but honestly using a tool would probably be less scary

#

dogekek I am a wild man

high sphinx
kind helm
#

but it is the same with any board that uses the daughterboard

high sphinx
kind helm
#

just plug in both ends of the cable and it just works

#

@calm pulsar sir may I hear your spacebar, i wanna see if gmk caps really improves it

#

my spacebars echo like there is no tomorrow

tawdry tree

#

You could cut them slightly. Not sure how easy that would be but it’s a solution.

tawdry tree
kind helm
#

alright mb then. never expected that can happen.

#

i have tx plate mount but i dont have wooting's key caps

tawdry tree
#

It’s fine. It’s a pretty odd issue that shouldn’t really exist.

kind helm
#

smile wooting being wooting again

tawdry tree
kind helm
#

honestly at that point, just use stock stab and tune it would be the best solution without damaging anything

#

cutting sounds scary

blobaww the two little wheat on 2 ctrl keys are so gud

dull sequoia
#

You mean this? It has tape on it but it is NOT the tape, I checked with the additional spacebar that came with the Lekker Edition without tape.

tawdry tree
tawdry tree
kind helm
#

for comparison

tawdry tree
#

Yeah, I think that’s it.

dull sequoia
#

Maybe. Should have tried with a different space bar, e.g. from my 60he

tawdry tree
# tawdry tree

This design is pretty wild. Those “lines” are exactly where the guides would sit.

tawdry tree
kind helm
#

think you right

tawdry tree
#

We might be onto something! 🧐

tawdry tree
# kind helm

It’s pretty funny how thick the keycap walls would have to be for it to cause problems.

kind helm
#

i think the tape mustve caught onto the "guide" as well, this should explain why it was moving slowly instead of being just stuck

tawdry tree
#

Could be, yeah!

#

I do think the guides on TX’s plate mounts are longer than normal as well.

kind helm
#

fck you want me to look for another stab?

#

give me a moment

tawdry tree
kind helm
#

this is owlab v2

#

no "guide"

#

so tx ap be special as well

#

😂

tawdry tree
#

I think the guides are longer than normal because the switch’s top housing doesn’t hit those lines.

kind helm
#

alright give me a sec

#

this set has guide

#

this set is brandnew too

tawdry tree
# kind helm

Why do you have multiple plate mounts?! 😂

kind helm
#

i have problems okay

#

dont judge

dull sequoia
#

I just checked, the stock ones are the same length and thickness

#

Also the TX do not hit the structure

tawdry tree
tawdry tree
#

TX neither hits the side walls nor the lines/structure?

kind helm
#

lighting kinda bad but think same thickness

tawdry tree
#

Same length?

dull sequoia
tawdry tree
#

The guides?

kind helm
tawdry tree
kind helm
tawdry tree
dull sequoia
#

Yes

#

That is what I see as well

tawdry tree
#

IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING IS HITTING EVERYTHING

#

😂😂😭😭

kind helm
#

LMFAO

dull sequoia
#

The bottom is not hit but the sides, that is what I was about to write

tawdry tree
# dull sequoia

If you just move the stab housing up and down now, do you not feel any friction?

tawdry tree
dull sequoia
#

No totally smooth

tawdry tree
#

Yeah but it probably is the side thing then.

dull sequoia
#

Ah no

#

Wait

#

It is not touching the sides when installed

#

See the stem

kind helm
#

it does go all the way down though?

#

or i am tripping once more

dull sequoia
#

It is currently raised above the case, which would not happen when installed right?

tawdry tree
dull sequoia
#

Housing sorry

kind helm
tawdry tree
kind helm
#

this is raised

tawdry tree
#

Yes.^

tawdry tree
kind helm
tawdry tree
#

The stem bottoms out on the PCB.

kind helm
#

nope that is all the way down for me

tawdry tree
#

Interesting. With TX’s it bottoms out on the PCB iirc.

dull sequoia
#

I meant raised above the housing.

kind helm
dull sequoia
#

Yes 😉

kind helm
#

yea that should happen a little bit, not as much as what you have there

tawdry tree
dull sequoia
#

Hmm

kind helm
#

because you dont have wire so its pressing lower than you normally can

tawdry tree
tawdry tree
dull sequoia
#

But even then why should it stop the keycap from raising up? Especially when you can actually do it by hand

tawdry tree
kind helm
#

which is the reason why i thought its lube related

#

especailly since it slows down not a rough stop, but idk

#

i trust thackson's experience :3

tawdry tree
#

Josh, your black stabs are TX APs?

kind helm
#

yea

tawdry tree
#

Odd af

kind helm
#

let me double check

#

think should be tx ap

dull sequoia
tawdry tree
#

Another fuckin stab mystery, as if we didn’t have enough already 😭😭

kind helm
#

i only used 2 platemount, 1 is txap the other is wooting's own platemount

dull sequoia
#

Well guess I have to install and check again

#

But this is smooth, no friction

tawdry tree
kind helm
#

should show if there is any issue from just key cap with stab

tawdry tree
tawdry tree
kind helm
#

yea

tawdry tree
#

Man

#

Too many stab mysteries. 😭

dull sequoia
#

Damn stupid with a phone... anyways:

kind helm
#

looks like the stab works ngl...

tawdry tree
dull sequoia
#

No time to put it in right now sadly. I should not spend that much time on it right now tbh 😄
Maybe the wire has an issue with the PCB? No idea. Really weird

kind helm
#

maybe the "guide" is grazing the tape?

tawdry tree

are ttc kom/pom switches compatible with wooting? i dont see it anywhere in the sheet

tawdry tree

tawdry tree
#

I’ll try to get a pair as well.

dull sequoia
#

Maybe I will have time later today, not sure. I will let you know

#

By the way, the only weird thing when installing was that they baaaaarely fit. It is very tight and you really have to push them into the plate hard

kind helm
#

that is good

tawdry tree
kind helm
#

tight fit = less wiggle room

#

a little bit of lube brush on to the slide thingy on the housing makes it easier

dull sequoia
#

Too wide? I mean when they are in they looked fine and I can raise them by hand easily

#

Anyways, I will try to find the time and make a picture etc

tawdry tree
#

Ignore the red rectangle.

#

how does that happen duh

SwitchyConfused in the last test when i swap to a thicker lube on the wire i put back the lube on the switch

that result with no spacer is similar to the result with heavier spring (i swapped to 60g spring from lekker's) but supprisingly without the spacer it sound cleanest out of the tests i did

for me, jade with no spacer is better than raw with no spacer

but probably gonna stick with raw since its like different rather than being cleaner

not best (no best) but really good

For clack enjoyers atleast

tropic urchin
#

Dead zone difference is interesting but I think it’s same as 8k polling cope imo

tropic urchin
#

My honest opinion is to get whatever you think sounds best, I’d try to forget about thocc or whatever the latest buzzword is and focus more on what you value for your board

uneven thunder
#

Yeah true

kind helm
#

whatever sound "good" and within budget is best

cyan lark
#

Don’t be reasonable varedis

uneven thunder
#

Tbh what I really need is to get a new plate to get rid of the ping from the stock one

tropic urchin
#

Because you can always replace your plate to suite your sound preference too

kind helm
#

best changes

polar girder
#

I gave up on sound and just trying to find cleanest/best performing

tropic urchin
polar girder
#

HE sound is garbage for me

kind helm
#

my best a year ago pretty much upside down to now

cyan lark
#

You mistyped KoM.

agile grove
#

the HE switch game is one I force myself not to play

cyan lark
#

That’s just smart

tropic urchin
agile grove
#

at this point the development is so rapid that mere months after the “best switch” releases there’s already a “better” one

uneven thunder
tropic urchin
#

Cheap solution to a problem that won’t be fixed with other switches

polar girder
#

lol I would not put Raw and Thock in the same sentence

cyan lark
#

Plus once tactile HE becomes good all bets are off

uneven thunder
#

I’ve been considering an fr4 plate is that good?

tropic urchin
kind helm
polar girder
#

Ok fine I’ll go raw and pp plate and see if true

agile grove
cyan lark
#

I should install fr4 for my KoM build this weekend…

tropic urchin
#

You won’t ever get true thock and its a waste of time trying to go for pure thock

polar girder
#

Forget your ideals of thock

tropic urchin
#

You can only get good enough and the RAWs on PC plate definitely wasn’t super clacky for me

uneven thunder
#

Idk if that’s the correct term

agile grove
#

I have an amazon giftcard from christmas and don’t know what to spend it on. might get some raws if I can find them cheap enough.

kind helm
#

havo get dunk on

#

i am in us, so that whole build is definitely reproducible.

polar girder
#

Yeah I’m going try to cop venom and raw during upcoming sale

agile grove
polar girder
#

Ok fine

#

Pp or nylon tho

#

Rrrreee

kind helm
polar girder
#

I have both rn for bk

#

Just need to test

#

Don’t want to buy both for venom tho

#

Just want one

kind helm
#

my perspective is nylon then

#

because if you feel like playing pp you can go back to wooting whenever

uneven thunder
#

Same day delivery so I honestly might just say fck it and try them

kind helm
uneven thunder

probably get to you within a week

tropic urchin

#

their storage in cali somewhere

#

forgot where exactly

uneven thunder
#

I can’t decide if I should get a plate or switches first

kind helm
#

switches + plate pretty much similar price as getting jade pro

uneven thunder
#

Keyboard modding is so expensive 😵‍💫

True

nvm

#

out of stock

#

fck

uneven thunder
#

Actually

#

Since I spent $130 this month already on keyboard I might just wait for it to go in stock on divinikey to order together

modest wave
#

Ali express

kind helm
#

also raw may go out of stock actually, people love them

uneven thunder
#

Fuck

kind helm
#

not sure if people are as crazy about them these few months

#

but like last year it went out of stock pretty fast (i think, i was able to get mine, but some other people went there and check find out of stock)

polar girder
#

I would sell Wooting

#

I don’t want more than one keyboard

kind helm
#

you just need a little box for the pcb and the plate

polar girder
#

Probably rather sell it lol

#

Not sure the point of having both PCB

#

One on standby?

kind helm
#

smile your choice bb i am just yappin

polar girder
#

Useless

fluid ravine
sacred elm
#

just order fr4 from keyboard fun store

#

its white and without weird flex cuts too

gusty wadi
#

Since I’m from the uk and I bought the base 80he, it’s American style, if I just buy key caps will they fit on the keyboard if they’re the uk ones?

#

Idk if I sound dumb asking that

proven wadi
reef oar
#

if you bought US ANSI layout then you'll need US ANSI keycaps

#

because UK ISO has a different enter and a couple other different keys

gusty wadi
cyan lark
#

You want ANSI keycaps

#

If you bought an ANSI layout board

reef oar
#

any ansi keycaps work as long as they're mx stem

#

which is basically every keycap set ever for mechanical keyboards

#

only switches i know of that aren't mx are like

#

alps

#

and topre

cyan lark
#

Rubber dome, buckling spring

reef oar
#

i think if you have a rubber dome keyboard you're probably not buying aftermarket keycaps for them

cyan lark
#

Pretty academic though, no site is selling these.

reef oar
#

yeah

#

so basically any us ansi set you find is gonna work

#

you probably wouldn't find the sets that wouldn't work unless you searched for them specifically

uneven thunder
#

did these just come out?

stone flax
uneven thunder
#

home come i cant find any videos on them yet

uneven thunder
#

yeah i prefer geon raws

#

not bad tho

cyan lark
#

You're welcome.

gusty wadi
#

Appreciate the help from you and @cyan lark

stone flax
#

divinikey has now stocked venoms

strange quarry
#

mane i wanna buy raws but all the gift money i got is on amazon

#

jade pros are an option i guess

chilly mural
#

It takes a month since tiger lite gaming's page is up to show MY's vendor.

#

I already pre ordered on SG tho

cyan lark

Oh I didn't realize there was a TKL venom, thought it was 60 only.

jade pro master race

tropic urchin
#

They will make your RGB darker/ make yours whites more blue and yellows green if RGB is important

strange quarry
#

i don't use rgb at all, so that's fine

reef oar
#

jades are kinda pointless at this point when pros exist

tropic urchin
reef oar
#

though if you're in the uk i could probably send you 70 jades for cheap

tropic urchin
#

I’d recommend lubing them but feel free to try them stock and see how you like them

strange quarry
#

i was asking cuz i have the old jades in my board, they're alright but i was curious about the pros

#

nah i'm NA

reef oar
#

oh okay nvm then

#

jades are still good

inland jetty
tropic urchin
#

Would be a decent option imo if you don’t mind waiting for them if you end up liking them

sacred elm
#

they feel smoother and sound cleaner

strange quarry
#

that's all i needed to hear

#

probably gonna pick em up

reef oar
#

yeah

#

then just sell the jades

#

or let them collect dust forever

inland jetty
#

idk if anyone will buy them

tropic urchin
#

I think my favorite part is the longer spring, feels nice

inland jetty
#

just use them on another board, i like them xD

sacred elm
#

its not a massive improvement tho, but still

reef oar
#

i wonder why they made the top housing teal like that

#

like surely they knew it would tint the rgbs

#

it's like the only actual negative

tropic urchin
sacred elm
#

i have jades on my 60he and they feel doodoo ngl, they probably need lubing

tropic urchin
#

They should’ve just merged the maxes and pros into one idea and just made Jade pros as transparent as possible without having everything be PC

reef oar
#

ong

inland jetty
tropic urchin
#

But no we need 10 different switches even tho Jade pros sound the best out of their lineup now

reef oar
#

jade pro v2 incoming?

tropic urchin
#

If they got it towards Jade pro levels with better stability that would be pretty sick

knotty iron
#

there are better options but they are no slouch

reef oar
#

jades would be considered decently good if pros didn't exist i think

#

but the existence of pros kinda makes the jades fall off

inland jetty
#

i think they are great value if someone is trying to get rid of them

reef oar
#

it's like the guy she tells you not to worry about

tropic urchin
sacred elm
#

I still think regular jades are better than lekker v2swires

tropic urchin
#

Versus having it be a toss up between raw and pro atm

sacred elm
#

lekker v2s were a bit disappointing

reef oar
#

i didn't use lekker v2s for long so i don't really know

sacred elm
#

i swapped them in a week

inland jetty
#

lekkers are just silent

#

kinda different sound wise

reef oar
#

only problem i had with lekkers personally was the keycap wobble was insane

#

my keycaps felt loose

sacred elm
#

yea stem wobble is a problem

inland jetty
#

the most noticeable for me was the 3.5 vs 4.0

tropic urchin
#

I remember the OG jades were the only reason I went module back in the summer💀

sacred elm
#

sure there is improvement but its kinda like lekker v1.6 and not v2 lol

tropic urchin
#

Hearing the difference was a “oh hell no” moment

sacred elm
#

I can send you my lekker v1s you will love them @tropic urchin

flat cobalt
#

I just bought the lekkers and never used them

inland jetty
tropic urchin
sacred elm
#

he already has them

#

😭

tropic urchin
#

He’s probably broken a few switches

#

From overuse

#

If anyone has hit the 100m keystroke limit it’s him

sacred elm
#

lol

tropic urchin
tropic urchin
#

Idk how he can hype up the Jade pros in his new keyboard and then not get them for his 60HE is beyond me

sacred elm
#

that keyboard is good

#

his new keyb

inland jetty
tropic urchin
#

I’m going to have to tell him to swap a few switches and wait like 45 mins for a read

sacred elm
#

but i think optimum 60he with jade pros will be peak, potentially other plate too

inland jetty
#

this is gonna get the magnetos first lmfao. tray mounted and everything.

tropic urchin
#

Hopefully that sharpness doesn’t return 😭

inland jetty
sacred elm
#

its either magneto pom or nothing, regular magneto and rgb versions are poop

tropic urchin
inland jetty

i wanna hear that slam, that space bar, as my rage builds up

testing on both 60 and 80he

tropic urchin
#

It makes my Jade pros sound like mini TTCs

inland jetty
#

i know that spacebar was killing you, like everyone else hahaha but for some reason i really like it (it just needs some foam, if i want to eliminate the hollowness, pingy sound)

tropic urchin
#

It sounded decent then “what the fuck is that sound”

#

Not my cup of tea but respect for the max clackers in chat

# high sphinx Oh ok

But my personal advice would be to just stick to 60HE/80 depending on what you run currently. Otherwise you’ll lose yourself trying to find the fastest every few months

Pretty soon it’ll be 0.000001 RT

at that point, ur focusing more on ur equipment than actually having fun palying the game

Mine is a Bello opal with lapis lazuli center

Which matches my GMK lazurite caps

sacred elm
#

many people order it, wooting isnt a very big company to have it always in stock

tropic urchin
#

That literally goes for all plastic keyboards too in this price range. If you look at the module breakdown the case is like $5-30

#

For PCR

sacred elm
#

Debatable, I would rather pay 30$ more than deal with some bs

tropic urchin

If you don’t want plastic just don’t buy it, it’s really simple

it still comes with a case tho
