but gl pulling lekkers like this

[austere creek]

like this. where the right side is what is pointing to you (the bottom edge fo the board)

simple reason cause the top edge has the RGB LED window which doesnt help pulling out a switch much

[kind helm]

nice pic

[austere creek]

cant do a vid cause my puller is back in a moving box with all my first half of wooting stuff

[kind helm]

this as a brief demo is pretty good already imo

[orchid folio]

yes i got the idea tbh schematic probably helps me more than actual vid :D ty

[tawdry tree]

THISSSSSSSSSSS

Gateron’s puller used in that vid is only good for switches that are secured solely by the “latches” (meaning when the latches get pushed in, the switch is completely free to be pulled out). Most magnetic switches out currently aren’t like that though.

[kind helm]

that is kinda i was guessing too, i have heard bad things about that kind of puller

[tawdry tree]

The puller would be good if switches were designed properly. Which they aren’t so it isn’t.

🥴

[kind helm]

maybe was meant to help secure the switches better, since he switches unlike mx doesnt have pins to actually secure the switch to the pcb.

[high sphinx]

Guys is there a solution to this the switch wobbles so much

[kind helm]

i dont think it got all the way in there

[high sphinx]

I heard a click tho

[high sphinx]

Hmm i will try to push harder then

[kind helm]

you can check from the side

to see if the switch is raised compare to every other ones

[high sphinx]

Just tried to push harder

[kind helm]

do you have a second switch you can try

[high sphinx]

This is already my second one

[kind helm]

remove the switch and take a pic, maybe the pad is blocking somehow

[kind helm]

i think something maybe blocking it

"remove the switch and take a pic, maybe the pad is blocking somehow"

[kind helm]

maybe the plate is fucked somehow

[high sphinx]

I removed the friction pad

[kind helm]

actually yea takin is right, you cant pull it just by using your finger there in the video

[high sphinx]

Here is video whitout friction pad

[kind helm]

alright all good then plate is fucked

you got some tape?

[high sphinx]

Yeah few screw aee out now

[kind helm]

cut a small piece of tape and tape it on the edge

the switch shouldn't wiggle up and down on the plate with or without the pcb

"cut a small piece of tape and tape it on the edge"

people do that for plate mount stab to increase the tightness, i think the same idea may work with that as well

but instead of doing that to the stab position, do that to the switch position

see if that helps

[high sphinx]

Can i try a lekker switch ?

[sacred elm]

wtf

[kind helm]

most likely lekker would be more loose

[sacred elm]

its only that or others wobble too?

[kind helm]

"This is already my second one"

[high sphinx]

If i put the switch sideways it works and is tight

[kind helm]

he can without the pcb lol

[high sphinx]

But indeed wont work

[kind helm]

i guess instead of side way you try opposite side

but that is strange af, if it is tight sideways it should be tight when you install it normally

[high sphinx]

This also wobbles

[tawdry tree]

It’s because of idiotic switch design

[kind helm]

sliding is fine, does it wobble up and down?

also just try the tape thing :V

[tawdry tree]

If it can’t move up and down when it’s in just the plate without PCB, the plate might be bent downwards in that corner.

[tawdry tree]

oh yeah, nvm this ^

[kind helm]

nah sliding is fine because once the pcb is on there it cant move

just mainly the up and down thing is fcked

[tawdry tree]

sliding left and right is fine, up and down isn’t.

[tawdry tree]

ye

I don’t get why the 6.25U plate has holes for split backspace though. I thought 6.25U didn’t have the option for split backspace?

If it does, you can try that.

[high sphinx]

With tape

[kind helm]

MORE

TAPE

[tawdry tree]

A bit better, put it on the PCB and see how it is.

or put another tape piece on the other side, that’s fine as well.

not on the same side tho.

[sacred elm]

unlucky plate

[high sphinx]

Can i rma this shit ?

[sacred elm]

just put more tape

more tape and it should be fine

also its backspace

who cares

[glacial wind]

What if this is a sign

A sign from the cf plate gods

A punishment of sorts for not picking the superior plate

[kind helm]

now we can confirm it is a cult

[glacial wind]

there is no should. Only when and where

The when is always and the where is everywhere

Amen

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/pray-happily-baby-cute-close-eyes-gif-20852145

[tawdry tree]

stupid plate design as well. the 6.25U PCB does not support split backspace. not sure what they were thinking when designing this.

[glacial wind]

blood is weakness leaving the body

[tawdry tree]

@high sphinx I don’t think you’d have to send it back. They’ll probably just send you a new one.

[glacial wind]

improved quality of life. mental clarity. overall increase in happiness

[high sphinx]

You and untill then i can ise the tape technique but i wont use it forever since in my opnion if u order solething it should be good but i already sent a mail to them

[kind helm]

personally experienced reduced mental clarity due to clack

[glacial wind]

that is your mind being cleansed of confusion

[cyan lark]

The clack leads to flow state

[kind helm]

unlucky my dude, i agree with aligner, especially you got the vids to prove it

[tawdry tree]

high squared

high high

higher

[orchid folio]

snoop dogg?

[tawdry tree]

higher

I’d get something soft

yeah

yeah for gaming stiff can be nice

I don’t mind personally

[sacred elm]

this is the sign from wooting gods

shouldve stayed with wooting smh

[orchid folio]

how can i grease my stabilizers without having the lube from the store? can i get something from a hardware store? i kinda cleaned a bunch of it off when i changed my keycaps and its a bit rattly now

[kind helm]

more like a sign from geon god for wasting venom's potential on wooting's copium pad

[silk hound]

@glacial wind im trying out cf plate on HE now been couple days - so far enjoying it

[cyan lark]

Dielectric grease

[orchid folio]

i dont wanna wait the 2 weeks until it arrives when i order it :C

[calm pulsar]

dense plate gang

no foam

closed bottom switch

[kind helm]

have you tried cf

[tawdry tree]

not dense plate gang
full of foam
open bottom switch

[kind helm]

aka bigsy

[tawdry tree]

💀

[calm pulsar]

I have cf but not for frog, so havent tried it xd

[tawdry tree]

real

[kind helm]

[glacial wind]

It’s my favourite plate personally for he, just cause I like stiff lol

[kind helm]

i tried with salvation and tray mount, i think on salvation it is not bad, but on tofu redux it was thud plus plus

[calm pulsar]

I might order cf from hyperboring for my venom frog since loobed is not delivering on lx60s

[kind helm]

thud ultra gaming performance pro special edition

[sacred elm]

You can clearly see the sign

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/don't-make-me-tap-the-sign-simpsons-bus-gif-5399805801037462082

[kind helm]

me like alu more too

which case you using

[sacred elm]

Nice hope you enjoy 1ms decrease

[high sphinx]

I guess i will get a new one

[sacred elm]

💀

look more of what

pcb?

[calm pulsar]

bro its the tsangan layout

[tawdry tree]

❤️

[calm pulsar]

no one cares for 8khz

[kind helm]

wait which switch you on?

i dont think i have heard a alu plate tofu redux yet

can i get a sound test :3

[high sphinx]

You think i have to send this one back ?

[tawdry tree]

No. Delta is nice.

[kind helm]

hopefully not, the shipping cost is gonna be retarded 😦

[tawdry tree]

I do hope it’s just your plate rather than it being a shit designed plate.

[high sphinx]

Yes they are indeed i got it to this now

With kots of tape

[sacred elm]

nice

[kind helm]

nothing tape cant fix

[tawdry tree]

That’s fine for the time being.

Is there anyone else here with a 6.25U venom?

[high sphinx]

Yeah indeed but i still want a replacement tbh cause i payed money for it

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, you’ll get one dw.

I have no words for this plate design tbh

Is it from Geon?

[kind helm]

think so

[tawdry tree]

it fucking is

[kind helm]

the mark on the top right shows it is the same one from geon site i think

[tawdry tree]

lol

[kind helm]

mine made in china

[high sphinx]

Installed with friction fit bit is there an easy way to pull it out i have pulled it out a few times but i really struggled

[kind helm]

take out the 2 switches in the middle and use a switch puller to grip on to it

or honestly 2 switches anyway, so you can grip on to it easily

[high sphinx]

I hioe i wont break it cause a few tiles i was thinking ow shit while pulling it haha

I normally screw the plate screws off and try to get the plate out first

[kind helm]

its alu bb

[high sphinx]

And the rest is easy

[kind helm]

if you can break it so easily you strong af

[kind helm]

oh yea since you put a screw in you need to undo the screw first

[tawdry tree]

That’s a fine plate that supports both 6.25 and 7U. Can’t say the same for whatever Venom’s is.

[high sphinx]

Not not that the those who connect the pcb with the plate those

[kind helm]

i downloaded their file too, one without the parts for tofu's mount

i can get a new pp from somewhere else later on

[fluid ravine]

It gave my board a soul after switching from PC plate

It became life

[fluid ravine]

YEAAAAAA

Alu or CF no plate foam+closed bottom switches 🤌

[kind helm]

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807342468818.html

19 dolla alu plate + 5 dolla shipping

if you feel like trying it at some point i would love to hear your opinion comparing cf with alu

[fluid ravine]

CAM has it

He tried it already

Told him abt it then he bought right away I was like damn-

Sure

[kind helm]

yea i know mr cam has everything

just curious what you would think

i have both right now and after a few days of swapping between the two i am leaning toward alu

[cyan lark]

He doesn’t have your heart. That must be given willingly.

You’re leaning alu over what, cf?

[kind helm]

yee

[kind helm]

nah he has my heart too, man has gud taste

i think mr. cam's go to is also alu

@tawdry tree actually what about you sir, what is your favorite plate

just curious :3

[tawdry tree]

PC but need to try PP or POM soon

soft I like

😃👍

[kind helm]

i assume you have tried the stiffer ones ? :3

[tawdry tree]

FR4, Steel, Alu

[kind helm]

i wanna try PP or POM too honestly

[tawdry tree]

I want to try a thick plate

of a soft material

some chinese HE boards did it

[kind helm]

fr4 is kinda weak compare to alu but it is nice. steel is sadness. pc has muted top out i think, curious what pp or pom would be like

and brass

brass would be interesting because it is heavier and stiffer than alu, and according to keybored's vid it is more deeper sounding than alu

[tawdry tree]

I’d assume PP and POM won’t be much different from PC

[kind helm]

wonder what that is like

[tawdry tree]

I tried brass a couple times but I don’t have a brass plate currently

[kind helm]

whats your thought on it

[mystic fox]

im going to build my first custom keyboard and im thinking about getting the 60HE module with tofu60 redux and l45 v2s any suggestions?

[sacred elm]

yea

swap lekkers with raws or jade pros

huh

[kind helm]

nvm i thought you said swap raw with jade pro

LMAO

[sacred elm]

thats also true

[mystic fox]

Ok thanks

[tawdry tree]

Eh, it was a clacky build. I didn’t notice a big different in bottom out compared to the alu board next to it but the builds were completely different of course.

[kind helm]

oh you meant the alu board is completely different from the brass build?

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[kind helm]

i got lost for a sec no big difference but completely different

[tawdry tree]

oh lmao

[kind helm]

how about top out :3

that is interesting because keybored mentioned in his video explaining plates that he always thought brass was more clacky than alu but the math and test showed differently. (what i was trying to say is, i think this shows that maybe the difference between alu and brass are not so significant.)
maybe when it is put on the board it is similar effect? the added weight and added stiffness kinda cancel out maybe compare to alu

[quasi hinge]

Curious how this cf plate will feel in the 80he

[mystic fox]

If I use the jade pros will I still get 0.1 mm actuation?

[sacred elm]

yes

[tawdry tree]

very similar to alu just slightly lower pitch. switches were different as well but their top out should sound the same.

[tawdry tree]

definitely wouldn’t say clackier.

I wanna try copper as well

[kind helm]

i have mx switch on my salvation right now and raw on my tofu 2.0, swapping from mx to he makes me realize how smooth he is

feels so nice

until you bottom out and hear the magnet high pitch sound

[high sphinx]

This is for now the build untill i get my gmk keycaps and can swap to qwerty

And this is sound

[kind helm]

nice you like it?

[high sphinx]

Whatvis ur personal opninion on the sojnd if i may ask ?

[kind helm]

i dont like tray mount, alu maybe a bit too loud on that. but the stabilizers are good, switches are good.

just subjectively

[high sphinx]

Ir is fruction fit i only screwed one screw in to ground the pcb

[kind helm]

to me it is still on the stiffer end, but yea everything sound clean

[high sphinx]

Well the friction pad is really tight is this case loke i said before bjt it is friction fit 🤣🤣🤣

[little glen]

what switches are these?

[kind helm]

tight is good

[kind helm]

raws

[little glen]

yeah thought so

it sounds kinda like my keeb just louder haha

[kind helm]

you on 80he's pc plate?

[little glen]

spacebar needs some dampening tho

[high sphinx]

Yeah but i am now thinking why did i buy friction fit if i could use tray and get same result ?

[little glen]

yes

[kind helm]

preference

[high sphinx]

Well i got gmk keycaps comming

Might give a difference

[little glen]

and my preference is a spacebar that doesnt sound like i am getting shot

[kind helm]

he on alu so yea it would be louder, plus he on tofu which means much more stiff than 80he as well

[little glen]

yeahhh

i do want to see how my sound will end up with the gt-80

since i'm on pcr case rn

[kind helm]

was it a pre order?

[little glen]

ye

early one

so itll ship this month

[kind helm]

yee, i haven't heard a test with gt80 yet

i think the mounting is slightly different from 80he right?

[little glen]

i saw badseed did a video on it but i wasnt convinced he did everything he could to make it sound amazing

[high sphinx]

Is there atleast a bit of a difference between my friction fit and the tray mount ?

[little glen]

i'll probably tapemod and get some filler material

[kind helm]

i am not really sure since you did put a screw there.

#1308938534224138270 message this was my build with tofu redux

the plate is fr4 so it is slightly more quite compare to yours

i really like that build even though i took it apart

[high sphinx]

Yeah cause i wanted to ground my pcb so i jad to put in one screw

I would love to hear soleone with same build as me but tray mount

[little glen]

tbf you can probably just do the same thing wooting did with the optimum case and ground using the usb port

[kind helm]

understandable yeee. i am just wild hehe

[kind helm]

yea i think a while back when the optimum case just came out. tony sent a pic of what the conductive foam looks like

think you can buy from amazon

[high sphinx]

But do you by any chance know someone who had my build but with tray instead ?

[little glen]

i think there is plenty of people out there with a tray mounted tofu build

[kind helm]

pretty sure there is someone who did tofu redux with tray mount

[high sphinx]

Yeah but this was easy solution, but if you know where i can buy it let me know

[high sphinx]

If u want i can put the screw out and give u another sound test

[kind helm]

nah i am good, it is just about what you enjoy my dude

[little glen]

btw you dont need to screw it in really hard

all you need is that the screw touches the pcb so it makes contact with the metal traces around the screw hole

[high sphinx]

This whitout screw

[tawdry tree]

a high pitched sound when bottoming out?! I have no clue what you’re talking about! 😂

[fluid ravine]

[little glen]

that sounds really good

[kind helm]

what do you think about mr. gpster's build, tofu redux + friction pad + alu plate + raw

kinda similar to what you have

kinda

[fluid ravine]

Damn wish I could listen to it rn but I'm in class

[kind helm]

kids nowadays dont put on their hoodies to hide their earbuds

much better than my generation then

[cedar gate]

Let it rip in class watch the teacher look for the sound for 20m

[cedar gate]

not a huge fan of alu plate tbh

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[high sphinx]

@kind helm i also have sole silicone covers comming in to put over the standard standoffs of the case that will probably also make it sound a little bit quiter

[kind helm]

i think it would help

[high sphinx]

Now only my gmk keycaps and than u can see my final build loke i promised

[fluid ravine]

Not quieter but less ping or metallic sound from the direct pcb to metal case contact

[fluid ravine]

Gmk 🔥

[high sphinx]

Yeah probably

[high sphinx]

Yeah indeed it will be better i think

I will post other sound video when build has the gmk keycaps and silicone standoffs

[kind helm]

man after trying gmk on my mx build i want more quality abs cap now

[tawdry tree]

Which caps did you get again?

[fluid ravine]

Same brah

[kind helm]

think i got baited

[high sphinx]

Gmk evil dolch

[kind helm]

https://tenor.com/view/gotcha-bitch-bitch-stuck-stick-with-me-caught-gif-5671210

[fluid ravine]

Mine shining like my forehead

[tawdry tree]

Oh yeah, that’ll be perfect.

[little glen]

i got enough gmk caps that i can build 2 more keyboards and equip em with some gmks

[high sphinx]

Yeah i am really hyped and also for the silicone standoffs to make it sound better but i could not wait on those two componenst i really wanted to build my board and change it when i get my last two parts

[kind helm]

yea doesn't take too much time to change

[tawdry tree]

Relatable.

[high sphinx]

Indeed

[tawdry tree]

Most sets I like are a pain and a half to get

[high sphinx]

Haha yeah i tild myself to wait but i could not and i also have other good news

[tawdry tree]

I got slasher coming later this month though, hopefully

[tawdry tree]

👀

[high sphinx]

I can keep this plate 🥳

[little glen]

yep, even more so if you want international/norde kit

absolute nightmare

i find set i really like, look inside, no kit for me

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, I like Delta!

[little glen]

or even worse, kit sold out

that one hurts

[high sphinx]

They are goated

[kind helm]

got these to make a gift

hopefully pbtfan is okay

[little glen]

i really like the look of british racing green for example but i'm never getting it now

[terse mirage]

backgroun noise

[little glen]

at least i dont need to worry about legends with gmk dots

[tawdry tree]

this

[little glen]

man british racing green looks so damn good but it doesnt have what i need 😭

[tawdry tree]

after slasher, I’ll need to get boneyard from somewhere and then I’m done (won’t be done ever).

[high sphinx]

Yeah sry about that 😅

[tawdry tree]

that was pretty recent right?

[little glen]

yeah

gb still up

[terse mirage]

[little glen]

but they dont have international

[tawdry tree]

ahh

[high sphinx]

My wooting now i gonna put it back to stock but not today haha

[little glen]

i would buy it and a green gt-80 tbh

[kind helm]

idk how people cope with gb honestly

[little glen]

but i want to save some money for a gpu these next 2 months

[little glen]

wdym

[kind helm]

i hate waiting is all. espeically with group buy to me it is almost like a kickstarter thing

i did pre order only once, for venom pcb

[tawdry tree]

it is a kickstarter pretty much

[little glen]

oh gmk moomin is still available with norde kit

[tawdry tree]

less risk with a gb than kickstarter tho

[little glen]

if only i had some kind of attachment to that series, never watched it as a kid

[kind helm]

probably depends on the company

gmk probably is like one of the good ones since they have been doing it for a long time

for cases and stuff i often hear drama happening. i just cant deal with the stress

[tawdry tree]

haha yeah

[little glen]

i thought about getting the mntu blanks but i guess those are all sold out now

[little glen]

i mean i waited idk how many months for my 80he

i kinda have the mindset of just forgetting about the thing i preordered until it arrives

[kind helm]

i know one gentleman from this server who get his like toward the end of last year

because of the case issue

[little glen]

[kind helm]

kinda like investing money

[little glen]

yup

[kind helm]

investing is gambling, and mama taught me gambling no good

[little glen]

i love gambling

but yeah i dont have much of a problem investing in something as long as i know the company will deliver in the end and i'm confident itll end up at least decent

and when it shows up at home i have a nice surprise

[kind helm]

also it is kinda like a unhealthy circle to me. you buy something, you maybe prepare like a set of switches and case for it. but then other stuff got here so much sooner, so you try them out and use them.
now when the keycaps come in, you wanna get a new board to go alone withit

[orchid folio]

man when i buy something its cause i really want it, and i want it the moment i order it :D i can never preorder.. when i was looking for keycaps and i saw these dates on when theyre available i just got turned off and opted for something thats available

like i want the v2 switches right now and im staring with dread at expected delivery date late jan to 1st of february

[little glen]

i guess i'm just not wired that way

[kind helm]

when i brought my second venom, my 3 braincell saw tofu 2.0's compatible plate on sell and immediately got it to pair with the venom

[little glen]

maybe i'll get a venom

but not sure

i need a board to be the home for my beautiful gmk mictlan

[kind helm]

the lay out, the centered usb c port

[little glen]

after i swap my 80he off of those to gmk cosmos

[kind helm]

just beautiful

[little glen]

i kinda wanted to get the yakult keycaps

[kind helm]

with f row it do be kinda hot

[little glen]

yeah

[kind helm]

reminds me of childhood

[little glen]

god damn i am turning into a keyboard collector

[tall hollow]

YO WHAT!!??

I NEED

[kind helm]

do you have a full closet of keycaps, mats, and switches, and case yet

[little glen]

god no

but like, my desire to have cool keycaps is going to translate into owning a bunch of keyboards i dont need

yk

[visual ore]

I have a single drawer so far

[kind helm]

that is what i was saying

[little glen]

tbf part of my closet is already dedicated to keycaps and keyboard

with my keycap sets, old keyboard, boxes and shit

[tall hollow]

Most of my closet is filled with PC parts lmao.

[little glen]

i do also have all my pc part boxes in the closet too

these yakult keycaps arent even THAT expensive

really making me want to do it

[tall hollow]

lol

[little glen]

its like 85 euro for base and novelties (pre shipping)

much better than what i spent on my gmk sets

[tall hollow]

Well GMK is GMK. It will be expensive.

[little glen]

fair

[high sphinx]

Wait since when is venom rapid trigger 0 04 ?

Yes cause i wanted to change led indicator from caos lock why ?

Oh ok still hella cool btw do you know how to change frol pfofile woth keybinds ?

Oh ok

[kind helm]

stable version the minimal is 0.1 for all 3 of those options in the screenshot

[tawdry tree]

wow

[high sphinx]

Yeah i am on beta

[high sphinx]

Yeah i gonna try in overwatch

[near kestrel]

Hi, is it okay to put her in your keyboard?

I have wooting80he

[stone flax]

why

[high sphinx]

Yeah i am now trying my venom in overwatch and damn this feels good

[little glen]

the second one would not work because it is not the correct layout and is also not compatible with the mounting method of 80he

[stone flax]

always ask urself why

[near kestrel]

to reduce noise

Should I just put some foam in the box?

[little glen]

80he already has something like that foam but made of silicone that acts as dampener and lets it be mounted in the way it is

[near kestrel]

Okayy

[little glen]

you can try doing a tape mod and adding some poly fill into the bottom of the case

just make sure you dont put in too much

you need to give the board some air to breathe

[near kestrel]

So I can't put anything on the PCB, like the pictures

[near kestrel]

Yes

[kind helm]

doesn't 80he already has a tape on the bottom, and doesn't that add to the sound instead of lowering it?

[little glen]

the premade "tapemod" doesnt sound the same as a real tapemod

theres some differences due to manufacturing etc

as for the sound idk

just try shit out until you like it

or dont

i'll probably do some stuff when my gt-80 arrives cause thats right when i'm between semesters and have nothing better to do than to tinker on my keyboard and pc

[tropic urchin]

A full 3 layer tape mod mutes it a bit, ended up removing mine after I did it

[little glen]

i'll probably try without and then each layer

since it's not that difficult to change it real quick on the gt-80

i dont think i would do that with stock case haha

[sacred elm]

10

[little glen]

i think i'm doing 50 layers

as many layers as possible until it doesnt fit into my case anymore

[kind helm]

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

https://tenor.com/view/time-to-stop-lol-funny-gif-7561335

[cyan lark]

Honestly duct tape mod is the real chadly mod

[kind helm]

please dont anyone actually do that

[little glen]

flex tape mod

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/flex-tape-cover-spalsh-gif-12689384

[little glen]

use flex seal on the bottom of your case

[tall hollow]

Nah, flex tape

[kind helm]

after seeing mr. thackson's pcb, i understand some people would actually do shit like that

[tall hollow]

No actually, 3M VHB tape

[cyan lark]

Plastic bag mod

[little glen]

when are we getting cardboard plate

[fluid ravine]

We don't talk abt it

Some scars aren't worth revealing

[kind helm]

sry sir

it is just a bit scary to think about

mf be joking and some dude sees one message and try stupid things and ruin their board

[tall hollow]

lol, like what?

[kind helm]

Some scars aren't worth revealing

[tall hollow]

Some scars are worth revealing, now I'm curious.

[kind helm]

you can look for it yourself

discover the deep dark secret of mr. thackson

[tropic urchin]

I noticed it with 3 and it was pretty dog ish, might not even keep the default if it stops sticking

[fluid ravine]

Nah 1 layer for me made a drastic difference
And I don't like it

I had a sound test comparison with 1 layer and without
Ive done multiple, like a LOT of sound test comparisons with tape mod

And 5 really isn't needed
By the time you hit 3 layers, there really isn't a difference after that
4 layers maybe but 5 def not

[kind helm]

something like this?

[fluid ravine]

Yes this and in my phone

[kind helm]

LOLOL

[fluid ravine]

Video recordings and mic recordings

[kind helm]

already removed some of the videos because videos take up way more space

[cyan lark]

Now show us your other videos folder

[kind helm]

i will be banned

[sacred elm]

sanest keyboard elitist

[fluid ravine]

[kind helm]

i am not even close to that level yet

emm... hopefully...

[sacred elm]

[kind helm]

some of the audio i sent to my second acc on dc that i dont use anymore. there are definitely way more audio...

the video thing i just setup recently for a demo thing and it works nicely with keyboards too

video from phone + audio from mic

[fluid ravine]

Itd be great if I could use my phone video and my mic recording at the same time

But I feel like my phone capturing everything sounds more realistic than my mic cus of the pre amps and what not

[kind helm]

i fount this droid cam thing to stream camera to obs

and obs i just setup to turn of the audio source from camera and use the mic only

though my mic is shit + far away(which i recently found is the reason why mr. cam and arc's sound tests are so different from mine)

your mic better be at least 4 times better than mine cause if i remember correct yours cost 4 times more

[polar girder]

I kind of want a pod mic

So sexy

[fluid ravine]

Podmic is a pretty flat sounding mic which is fine or great when recording sound test but I notice it captures more sound from the case than my phone camera

[polar girder]

I’m still entertaining audio upgrades too

[fluid ravine]

Podmic is also more easier to eq since its a flat sounding mic

[fluid ravine]

It issss

Im loving it so far

But living in a living room is not helping me

[fluid ravine]

Damn how much is yours?

[kind helm]

i gave up on that after watching one video online showing how different keyboard can sound with simpliy changing the smallest thing(distance, angle, and number of pads and stuff)

[fluid ravine]

(ू˃̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣ ू)

[stone flax]

mics are worthless

[kind helm]

i just use it to compare with what i have, but i stopped comparing it with other people's sound test. like i knew its different but I didnt think the difference would be so drastic

[stone flax]

Mreow

[fluid ravine]

Real

[kind helm]

mr. mj spitting truth like always

[kind helm]

50 dolla only

[fluid ravine]

Mines $100

[kind helm]

with arm and pop filter

[fluid ravine]

O

[kind helm]

ah i thought you spent 200+ on it

[fluid ravine]

I bought the og one

[cyan lark]

If it isn't a Neumann you're not really trying

[fluid ravine]

Where it's only XLR only

The 200 ver is the USB and xlr

[kind helm]

ahh ic

me just wanted something that is okay. been using it for many years

still a nice piece for the whole setup

[fluid ravine]

But in the end I spent 200 for boom arm, mic, and pop filter

[kind helm]

at that point i think the whole room needs to be setup a certain way to fully capture whatever madness you are trying to hear

[cyan lark]

Oh I'm being fully unserious

[fluid ravine]

Oreo mic

[kind helm]

yea tis nice

mine is black and a bit dusty at this point, i only clean the floor weekly

[tall hollow]

200 dollars is child's play

I've seen mics that cost a lot more.

[fluid ravine]

Hey man I'm just a child

I can't afford a sm7b/db or a mv7+

[kind helm]

200 suddenly is really reasonable

[fluid ravine]

Audio interface: 120
Mic: 100
Boom arm: 75
XLR cable: 10
IEMS: 54

[kind helm]

everything is relative

[tall hollow]

It truly is

[fluid ravine]

$359

Still cost less than a sm7b 😭

[cyan lark]

sm7b is boring. RE-20 is the champ

[kind helm]

i just follow this guy for iem https://crinacle.com/rankings/iems/

[fluid ravine]

I have the TruthearxCrinacle Zero Reds

[kind helm]

i have like 2 3 pairs of Moondrop Chu

20 dolla iem

[fluid ravine]

Yea I'm good on the Shure sm7b
Tbh if I had the money I still wouldn't even buy it personally

[kind helm]

honestly think it is comparable to my samsung galaxy pro 2

[polar girder]

Yeah I don’t really want to go XLR for mic tho

Then I need an interface or preamp or whatever

[fluid ravine]

Yeah interface, mixer, or a dac

[polar girder]

I am tempted to get a new dac and amp for headphones tho

[kind helm]

dac for mic is a thing?

[polar girder]

Yeah really?

[fluid ravine]

Oh am I trippin

[kind helm]

i have heard that you dont really need a dac for headphone nowadays

[fluid ravine]

I might've gotten it wrong hollup

[polar girder]

Digital to analog

[fluid ravine]

Yeye

Mb

[kind helm]

i have a cheap dac just because motherboard can't handle the static caused by 6950xt

[cyan lark]

It's a good mic, but I think it more won the popularity contest. RE-20 can be picked up for a bit less often times and I think it sounds markedly better.

[kind helm]

wired iem is so overrated imo, i barely sit down to just enjoy music.
whenever i am actually enjoying music i am holding a glass of whiskey + coke leaning against the window watching the city view

[cyan lark]

Elegant

[kind helm]

lmao cheap af, cheap whiskey, cheap mix drink

[tall hollow]

AirPods Pro my beloved

[kind helm]

but nice little buzz to lay back for the night

[cyan lark]

HD600 + whisky is my combo for a very pleasant evening

Look at nature out the window, not a city building in sight.

[kind helm]

also beautiful

[polar girder]

I have an ifi zen v2 and 560s rn

[tall hollow]

Butbut, why not have 10kV right next to your ears?

[polar girder]

Kind of want Schitt Modius and Schitt Jotunheim

Or Midgard

Also kind of mildly entertaining the 490 pro headphones

[cyan lark]

I have 2x jotun, can strongly rec.

Been using 'em for years

[kind helm]

fat boi headphone enjoyers

[tall hollow]

Electrostatics are a different beast, they sound so clean!

[kind helm]

my weak neck hurts from those, iem betta

[flat cobalt]

Should be getting swagkeys stabs and my aluminum plate today

[polar girder]

Oh nice. That’s what’s up

Yeah seems nice

Midgard is new and interesting but jotun seems more capable

[cyan lark]

I did move from the jotun dac to a modius on my real dedicated listening setup

Very slight improvement

[polar girder]

Yeah Modius seems worth

I like the idea of going full balanced

[cyan lark]

But I think if you're gonna get one thing and be happy with it, jotun w/ the dac is very solid

[polar girder]

I would eventually want to get the Bifrost I think

Yeah true

[cyan lark]

Balanced is nice if you get crosstalk, but that's all it's gonna improve

But it's one of those things where it doesn't hurt at all to have it

Bifrost is the big mamma jamma right? Bit too wild for me 🙂

[polar girder]

lol it’s same footprint as Modius I believe

But more expensive

Big mamma jamma $$

[kind helm]

@polar girder may i ask how would you compare PP with PC plate? I am thinking of trying either PP or POM

[polar girder]

PC sucks

PP goated

I haven’t tried POM

and PC doesn’t actually suck. I just don’t like it and am often extreme lol

[kind helm]

does it have a louder top out sound?

my understanding right now is that PC has a muted top out compare to PP

[polar girder]

I didn’t really AB test them

I had PC friction mounted in tofu and PP in frog

PP just feels softer sound and feel to me tho

Without being as flimsy

[kind helm]

ahh yea that the mount difference is night and day

[polar girder]

Or maybe that was just a thickness issue

Yeah lol

I just never really loved my PC plate

Preferred it to steel in sound but otherwise nah

[kind helm]

steel at bottom of the list for me 1000%

gud insight, thank you sir i know i can probably watch some vid on it but it is nice to see more people's experience

[polar girder]

Steel is stiff and easy to work with

I don’t hate it

Sound is ass tho

[kind helm]

for stiff plate my fav is alu

and fr4

cf is a bit much for me

[polar girder]

I’m going to hopefully get this Geon order in tonight then try Raw on PP and Nylon and Alu in a couple weeks

[kind helm]

the soft ones are the ones i am curious about hehe

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m curious POM but will probably go either PP or Nylon

[kind helm]

alu is much more fun but relatively much louder compare to pc or fr4

not to a unacceptable level though for me. but i think for you maybe different since you prefer something more quiet

[polar girder]

Yeah I want quiet but we’ll see

I’ll try it since I bought it lolz

[kind helm]

if you stick with alu it would be pretty funny

[polar girder]

I’m at a point where I really want the cleanest

[kind helm]

definitely fun to type on, alu. especially with nice mount like frog mini

i would think

[polar girder]

I’m over soft and loud and thck and clack and shit

HE too mid

Just need the best

[kind helm]

some day you get bored then you would just change

wooting + frog mini is already goated af

but why not try venom, then the circle continues

[polar girder]

Well I’m about to buy venom

[kind helm]

[polar girder]

Lolz

And hopefully only buy one plate

Although need a tray mount Wooting plate to sell full Wooting

[kind helm]

i gonna make a *thocky creamy wooting tofu redux

later

at some point

[polar girder]

And I might go no foam for venom

Their plate foams suck

[kind helm]

perfect to scam people who are new to the hobby

[polar girder]

Might buy stupid fish at some point idk

[polar girder]

Needs soft plate and friction fit pad

Ez

[kind helm]

after trying alu, i feel like soft plastic plate + frog would be already pretty quiet

like relatively

[polar girder]

Right

And I have kilmat on the case bottom

It’s solid

I think it’ll be clean

[kind helm]

to a point right now i feel like foam really just modify the sound rather than dampen it that much

[flat cobalt]

I like the modius as well

[kind helm]

no foam is the way

i think if you use the softer tadpole, the board would also be a bit more quiet

i tried 50g and 70g bowl on my tofu and i found 50g(the softer one) is a bit more quiet

[cyan lark]

Are you actually running 0 foam?

I haven't tried absolute 0 yet in any of my builds, maybe I should to see what it's like.

[polar girder]

I’ve tried zero foam in the tofu and it wasn’t it for me

But I have kilmat in the frog and a plastic plate so I might try no plate foam

[polar girder]

You have or want?

[flat cobalt]

I have the Magnius and Modius

[polar girder]

Oh nice. What headphones

[flat cobalt]

Iems

https://www.linsoul.com/products/xenns-mangird-top?

[polar girder]

Oh snap

Nice

[orchid folio]

hehe, i bought custom straps off aliexpress. 5 bucks for a piece of nylon band but lets hope at least the print quality is good

tmrw my case arrives and when the switches are here i will have literally changed every piece but the pcb

and the foam ig

and the plate

kinda considering on the plate, i like deep sound but i dont want to compromise the quality of the board

[polar girder]

What case

[orchid folio]

alumaze

just black

[polar girder]

Friction fit pad and black PC plate?

Not certain if friction fit pad works with alumaze tho

[cyan lark]

It does

[polar girder]

Nice

[orchid folio]

whats friction fit pad

[cyan lark]

Gotta either put in a screw or scratch off a little paint if you wanna ground it though.

[polar girder]

https://wooting.io/product/friction-fit-pad?Title=Default+Title

[cyan lark]

(I scratched off paint)

[polar girder]

Alternative to tray mount style for tray mount cases

[orchid folio]

does it fall out when i put it bottom up

[cyan lark]

No

You have to really try to get it out w/ a spudger or something, no way it will come out by accident.

[orchid folio]

interesting

[stone flax]

its called friction mount

[cyan lark]

It pretty drastically changes the sound, though, so be aware of that before you dive in if you're thinking about it.

[stone flax]

“Friction”

Held in place

With

friction

[cyan lark]

Their question was valid

[stone flax]

if it fell out then that thing becomes a stack mount or smth 😭

failed friction mount gg

[polar girder]

I wish it worked with stock plastic case

[orchid folio]

i never replaced any part of my keyboard and i saw a video of a guy where it fell out of a wooden case when he turned it over thats why i asked

[polar girder]

That’s failed

[orchid folio]

it didnt really cross my mind you could attach it other than with screws

[kind helm]

i am running 0 foam on both of my setups

[high sphinx]

Uhm guys i have a question so it seems that the lightest oddness in my desk causes my tofu case to wobble a tiny bit i know ot is not my case cause i placed my case on a flat surface my glass table downstair and there it is even so my question is how can i reduce it at my desk ?

[cyan lark]

A towel/mat?

[kind helm]

friction mount lowkey is just a slightly less sad "stack mount" at least in my experience

[high sphinx]

Yeah maybe good idea

[kind helm]

pcb is still sitting right on top of whatever the fck is below it

[kind helm]

a desk mat would make your setup look a lot nicer too

[stone flax]

Stack mount necessitates a top case, no?

Or else its full jank

[tropic urchin]

Dual artisan pads goated setup

[sacred elm]

[kind helm]

my 3 brain cells were thinking pcb stacking on top of the case "stack mount"

[harsh dove]

Modius and Jotunheim

[kind helm]

good afternoon mr. cam,

do you mind ranking the plates you have tried in terms of material, i just wanna learn about people's perference, especially those who have tried way too many plates

[harsh dove]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[kind helm]

your preference? full subjective, objectivity be damned

[harsh dove]

Alu is my favorite pretty much

They all have their place though

[kind helm]

try to achieve some sort of balance between plate, mount, and switch ?

[harsh dove]

But if I could make every keyboard/switch sound good with Alu then I probably would build every board like that

[cyan lark]

I thought you had good taste. Now I know for sure.

The whale improves the audio fidelity ofc

[kind helm]

my thinking right now is that softer plate probably work better with a stiff mount to compensate the harshness a bit. but softer mount can let the stiffer plate shine without making the board too harsh.

[polar girder]

You has?

[polar girder]

Oh fk

NEED

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[polar girder]

What headphones you have?

[polar girder]

And you?

[cyan lark]

An embarassing list

[harsh dove]

Lately just using some Simgot SuperMix 4s

[polar girder]

lol

Nice

Yeah my doctors once told me I shouldn’t wear headphones in ear cuz my hearing is cooked

[cyan lark]

Currently: HD600, HD800S, Focal Clear, Sony Z1R
But I just wind up using HD600 every day because they are the most comfortable for long use. They're my oldest pair.

IEMs long term are definitely worrying to me health-wise.

[kind helm]

is that relate to loudness or just iem being in your ear is not good

[harsh dove]

Wouldn't mind trying some Sundaras

[cyan lark]

I had strongly considered sundaras

[cyan lark]

Loudness is less of a concern than impacting/physical stuff

[harsh dove]

Being in ear

[kind helm]

oh fck, i am wearing iem almost 7/24 nowadays

[harsh dove]

Most common thing to happen is ear infection

[cyan lark]

I mean you also should not blow your ears out with high volumes on a regular basis, but that's in your hands. In theory IEMs should be better about it if the seal/isolation is good.

[harsh dove]

Basically its good to take breaks lol

Don't wear them 8+ hrs a day

[polar girder]

And you like it for 800s? I think that’s my endgame

[kind helm]

openback sounds great but it gets tiring after a while + can hear background noise extremely easily

[polar girder]

Debating to get 490 pro then 800s or just wait and straight to 800s

[kind helm]

ah s44t

[cyan lark]

The Jotunheim can drive anything I've put against it. Yeah 800s is no problem.

[polar girder]

Right

[high sphinx]

Probably

[cyan lark]

My only issue w/ the 800s is they don't hold onto my dome very well, so I have to be a little conscious of keeping my head straight upright. Their sound is great, though.

[harsh dove]

Yeah I tried HD800s at a store and they weren't for me

Great sound ofc

[polar girder]

I mostly just want them for CS2

LOL

[harsh dove]

Bro

lmao

They can do a lot more than just CS2

[kind helm]

i knew it

LMAO

[harsh dove]

Bigsly is a simple man

[kind helm]

maximal performance

LMAO

[cyan lark]

Soundstage all day

Only others I've been tempted by is Meze

[kind helm]

maybe i grab a Shure SRH440 just to protect my ears then

[cyan lark]

Or for a similar price the venerable Sony MDR

[kind helm]

7506

?

[cyan lark]

Yeah. I'm partial to open-back myself though.

But those have been staples for decades

[kind helm]

i had a Grado SR80e

but i am not sure where tf i put it

iem for me is much better than headphone in game

[cyan lark]

I had SR60s long ago. On-ear never really did it for me.

[kind helm]

for hearing locations and stuff :3

idk if i am just a braindead or what when i wear headphone, my predicition base on sound is just sadness.

[cyan lark]

Aside from the health issues, IEMs also annoy me if I don't have some way to get side tone if I'm talking w/ friends while playing.

[kind helm]

i got it from the recommendation of Marques Brownlee

[cyan lark]

May wanna delete that cutesy shit.

[polar girder]

lol I listen to music also

[cyan lark]

Definitely recommend trying them on if you can before investing

[cedar gate]

how do you guys clean expensive mice and mouse pads without damaging

[cyan lark]

A toothbrush

[polar girder]

Yeah good call

[cedar gate]

yeah rn im using toothbrush and a little liquid detergent

[polar girder]

You think if I get the Modius/joteunheim it’d be worth to upgrade to 490 pro or just wait for 800s?

[cedar gate]

not on the mouse tho

[cyan lark]

I keep a stiff bristled toothbrush on hand for cleaning various things.

[polar girder]

560s not bad but seems like 490 pro is just basically upgraded version

[cedar gate]

i just use micro fiber cloth and diluted isopropyl alcohol in warm water

for mouse

[cyan lark]

I've never used the 490 so I can't speak to it.

[polar girder]

Yeah fair

[cyan lark]

I think @inland jetty uses one of those two though, may wanna ask his opinion.

[cedar gate]

like the graphics card?

[cyan lark]

Headphones

[kind helm]

who did i offend this time

[kind helm]

have you tried this, mainly my worry is comfort

[cyan lark]

I have tried them a long time ago once, so I can't speak to their long-term comfort.

The most comfortable headphones I've ever worn have all been Sennheiser's over-ear mid-to-high end sets (but not 800)

[kind helm]

just lookin at the texture it seems the shure one is a bit better

[cyan lark]

But it's also very dependent on the size and shape of your dome

[kind helm]

i only know sony's high end ones are comfortable

[cyan lark]

I've never had issues w/ any band on top of head, but I have a luxurious and thick head of hair.

[kind helm]

am i crazy to assume 200 is mid end

maybe get like a 650/6XX

[cyan lark]

Like my first really nice over ear pair was HD595, which I think they've replaced with 599 and runs about 130-150

[kind helm]

do be lookin nice

[cyan lark]

I got a used pair of 600s after that, I think they were born in the late 90s, and I'm still using them every day. They're probably older than a lot of people here. They are absolute fucking tanks.

[kind helm]

that is why i always thought iem is betta

[cyan lark]

You can replace every part of them that might wear out too, and I have.

[kind helm]

ebay or like actually mass produced aftermarket parts

[cyan lark]

Senn directly sells replacement parts for them still.

But you can also get after market stuff for them

[kind helm]

got it, thanks W info

probably just gonna add that to shopping list and get it later though, price way too high for a peasant like me

[harsh dove]

Oh okay good

[tropic urchin]

Not really no. $200 is kind of entry imo

[kind helm]

and that is why i never got into headphone, 50 is what i would consider entry

[cyan lark]

They are an investment, but I and many others can vouch that they're a buy-once-cry-once sorta deal. See if you can demo them somewhere first to make sure you like the fit, feel, and sound.

[orchid folio]

i think the issue with IEM and overear is not the type of how you wear them, but listening to music that is too loud. It may cause less damage when you listen to too loud music on overear, but the problem is still the volume

[kind helm]

true true, espeically with support from the company

i know the brand has been around forever

[tropic urchin]

Once you’re spoiled with good audio, you can never go back

$250-500 is usually the range where you get the good shit

[kind helm]

i mean my iem has pretty good audio

i just worry about using them way too much would not be good for my health

[tropic urchin]

$500-1000 is if you wanna get crazy with it and in that range you’ll get some diminishing returns, but it’s an experience 🫢

[kind helm]

so at least when i am in front of my desk i can cope headphone and hopefully still hear things after my 50s

if i live to 50s

[tropic urchin]

If you’re not blasting your eardrums out you’re fine

[cyan lark]

Definitely diminishing returns after 250-500 range. Do not recommend.

[kind helm]

am i crazy to say you kinda have to pay much more for headphone to get similar quality with iem. because the vabration is less... concentrated?

[tropic urchin]

My new Fiio FA19s give you a headphones experience in an IEM which is fucked, but if you adjust your settings to compensate it’s usually not bad

[kind helm]

[tropic urchin]

It’s really just different tunings tbh

And preference

[kind helm]

so copium

ah shit

[polar girder]

@inland jetty 560s vs 490 pro thoughts?

[tropic urchin]

I mean I like IEMs, but headphones are also good

Copium is a bad take imo

It’s really just difference preferences for tuning and how you wanna wear it

[kind helm]

then it shouldnt be preference, one would be objectively better

ah

[devout totem]

The only headphones you’ll need

[tropic urchin]

You can make the argument of budget IEMs are better than budget headphones I guess, but it’s not super productive

[kind helm]

but why would one prefer a headphone is a tuned toward a certain type sound(lets say certain type of music rather), isn't that less... raw in a way?

[polar girder]

All headphones are tuned

[sacred elm]

[flat cobalt]

Of course the aluminum plate wouldn’t be black @sacred elm

[sacred elm]

soundtest asap

[chilly mural]

Should be fine as long as the volume is at an acceptable level. I just make sure mine is not louder than the noise of car passing by

[flat cobalt]

It picks up oil like crazy ;3;

[chilly mural]

Also iem is really nice against car passing by since my ears is very sensitive

[sick owl]

do i have to take the 80he apart to lube the stabilizers on my spacebar?

[flat cobalt]

You still have the other videos I sent right so I don’t have to do a before and after

[kind helm]

well mr cam and mr. turingtest mentioned that it is not merely the loudness but also the fact that it is in your ear is not good

[sacred elm]

yes but you might try lube syringe without disassembling the keyboard

[kind helm]

i legit wear iem pretty much 24/7 because i can use my moondrop while sitting in front of desk, or use my samsung galaxy when i am cleaning or whatever

[sacred elm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbzT_6zzmWY

[sick owl]

cant say i have one lying around : (

[sacred elm]

do you have krytox 205

[prime orbit]

Should I get a keeb mat

[chilly mural]

Eh, i don't track how long I wear iem, but I'm pretty sure it's not 24/7, just when I'm playing.

Or outside

[sacred elm]

yea

alum plate is interesting on 80he

keyb fun store doesnt sell it -_-

[sick owl]

i have gpl 205 g0 and gpl 105 for the switches, was gonna use that on the stabs too

[flat cobalt]

I got the black foam too

Gonna use their foam thingy in the bottom too

[sacred elm]

[kind helm]

chatgpt is so good for a man with no common sense

clean ear, clean earbud = fine, hopefully.

[flat cobalt]

Now to pull out all the keycaps and switches

[kind helm]

at some point i probably grab a pair of 6xx or something but recently spent way too much so iem it is for now

[prime orbit]

Best budget?

[knotty iron]

what is that inverted looking jade switch

[harsh dove]

The gap between headphones in terms of audio quality nowadays is a lot smaller, can get really good headphones/IEMs for pretty low cost nowadays

Don't need to spend thousands of dollars

[knotty iron]

hello again Erix

[flat cobalt]

The bottom clip snapped so Im using an original Jade one ;3;

On the pro

[kind helm]

that is kinda what i was hoping & expecting honestly, like tech should be improving

[knotty iron]

[kind helm]

i should look deeper into it before i make a purchase

[harsh dove]

Nowdays it just comes down to personal preference, like what kind of audio tuning/EQ do you like and how comfortable are they

For example a lot of audiophiles will swear up and down that the Truthear Nova and SuperMix 4 are some of the best IEMs and they're only $150

Even tho there's IEMs that cost 10x that , it's just diminishing returns

[prime orbit]

Hey Guys, where do you purchase your cables in the US, places you had a good experience and good quality, I am seeing the Alexotos list, but also would like to hear from your experience

[harsh dove]

I say all that but it won't stop me from wanting some $8,000 Planar Headphones lol

[knotty iron]

doing well! My Holy60 Black Anodized and PBTfans Crosshair should be here with some other stuff

Man if I wasn’t HE only I would have a split keyboard

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScKrPt46-MBKzPYNNhXM9bvjVSNAeL0nEkZu8mMF7BWze7Ncg/viewform

So nice

I had one for a while. Ortho linear. Takes some getting used to tho lol

[cyan lark]

I was on the kinesis freestyle pro before this. Split is amazing for typing.

[polar girder]

Yeah agreed

I’m just a single keyboard kind of guy and 60% HE is the layout for me

[flat cobalt]

L on me for not getting that frosted case

so....anecdotally - my WPM testing on 62g springs yields slightly slower speeds actually versus 48g POM KOMs. It seems that it can help reduce mistakes, but the extra time it takes to depress keys adds up in a 15s or 60s test. But this obviously varies per person. My 62g experience could be your 82g. Also, does noticeably feel heavier to type on. I think because it takes much more concerted force to press the keys, you end up slowing down. This is on monkeytype English 200, >150 wpm.

I'm gonna try going the other way and use 28g 22mm springs and see how it goes, lol.

[flat cobalt]

I like aluminum plates now if only it was in black though

[polar girder]

28g 22mm springs how/where?

[sage flicker]

amazon - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D1QN8JPZ?ie=UTF8&psc=1, sunday delivery though, so gotta wait a week for the results 😄

i actually bought 28g before, but shorter versions, from aliexpress. Prob sometime last year. So I wanna try the longer ones.
