[kind helm]

didn't mj mention why it may not work

[polar girder]

What work

[kind helm]

but i dont remember what exactly he said

[polar girder]

What case you talking about

[calm pulsar]

luminkey lx60

[kind helm]

mr. arc's luminkey60 may not work with venom

a gummy oring mount case i think

[polar girder]

Ah

[kind helm]

but fancy looking boy

[calm pulsar]

it also has gaskets

[polar girder]

Need the lx60 plate to attach to venom PCB then looks like

[polar girder]

Yeah that looks like some MX shit.

[calm pulsar]

it is 😄

in alexotos video

[polar girder]

HE not staying put there

[calm pulsar]

I think with gummy mount it may not matter

[polar girder]

How you gummy mount a gasket case tho

[calm pulsar]

the pcb won't fall down cause it's already down

[calm pulsar]

there are 2 ways of mounting in this case

[polar girder]

Oh ok

[kind helm]

only thing i can think of is the daughter board doesn't fit in there or somethin

[calm pulsar]

I mean getting a frog leggera or whatever is the other variant called would be the easiest
but I want something different looking cause I have a frog mini already lol

[kind helm]

bakeneko for 130

dolla

[calm pulsar]

I've seen build videos, the db seems to be the same little square as on venom

[calm pulsar]

an as on tofu 2.0

could be
it's just a little blocky for my taste haha

[kind helm]

it do be blocky since its a budget board

i think lx60' gummy oring mount maybe more fancy too

its 2 piece case right?

[calm pulsar]

yeah

[polar girder]

Lx60 is an attractive case

[calm pulsar]

it reminds me of my beloved freebird60, but even fancier

https://youtu.be/E08ZhMC0p4I

https://youtu.be/uk2pX4abySI

liking the looks

[kind helm]

this thing is similar to what tofu 2.0 has, bowl on the bottom side and foam on top side

[tawdry tree]

Yes.

[calm pulsar]

designed by a dude named bowl btw xd

[kind helm]

no way xD actually?

[calm pulsar]

yeah there he is in loobed disc

[gritty trail]

Do I need the 70 pack for the whole keyboard?

For the switches

[harsh dove]

what?

[polar girder]

I think just ignorant racism

No clue what was meant there. I almost asked but then ignored

[harsh dove]

Yeah, seems sus

[kind helm]

[harsh dove]

He's gone now

[sacred elm]

Thank god

[chilly mural]

[placid wagon]

What would you guys recommend for an aluminum case, pc or pom plate?

[kind helm]

alu plate!

[placid wagon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/592219566973779973/875185689543729202/tenor_3.gif

[tropic urchin]

What sound profile and feel are you going for?

I’d recommend starting here to get a general idea: #🪛│modding_faq message

[placid wagon]

Lower pitch or "creamy"

I suppose PC would be better for me

[sacred elm]

yes

[dark cypress]

is divinikey a good website to order switches from ?

[polar girder]

Yes

[dark cypress]

thank you

another question...the geon raw he switches have a total travel of 3.4mm does that mean all actuation settings for like lets say dks would have to be within that range right

[kind helm]

the settings on wooting are more of a percentage rather than actual 4.0mm travel

[dark cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-star-noted-notes-gif-26231953

ok copy thank you

[rough hornet]

Can I just use painters tape to tape mod

How many layers on each strip

?

[harsh dove]

Whos this Thackson guy

[kind helm]

mr thackson has a phd in tape mod have some respect!

[harsh dove]

Seems to know stuff

[high sphinx]

hey guys fun fact apperiantly i have been part of sno hes roguecraft server for quite some time whitout me even noticing it i was going thru my servers and i saw sno x roguecraft haha i think it was kinda funny

[calm pulsar]

I was on this discord for a while, and then I clicked on his profile and I remembered I used to read guides on roguecraft lol

[high sphinx]

haha yeah i searched for my name in hes discord the only message i found was to ask if there was an addon to track when ur in combat or out of combat or to see when ur about to go out combat haha rogue most fun class ❤️

[rough hornet]

Good?

?

[cyan lark]

Beautiful

[rough hornet]

K so if I put this in it won’t destroy all the solder points

[tame vessel]

Question for folks, reccently got some paigu stabs and it came with some poron pads for the stabs which I understand but I'm not sure what this is for

[cyan lark]

Your solder is safe

[rough hornet]

Ok

[tall hollow]

Shouldn't worry about that, the tape isn't conductive.

Realistically you should only worry about static electricity.

Since tape likes to build a slight charge when you unroll it

[cyan lark]

You’re fine put it together and clack

[harsh dove]

Those are shims for the clips of the stabilizers

helps hold them in place on the PCB

instead of coming out when you pull a keycap

you basically snap off those little end bits and shove them inside the legs of the stabilizers once they're installed to the PCB

[tame vessel]

Thanks

Hmm I think I got the wrong sizing because I cannot figure out how to get them in

[harsh dove]

What stabilizers are they and which PCB do you have?

[harsh dove]

you got the Paigu stabs for 1.6mm PCB right?

[tame vessel]

So I got stab A for 1.6 mm and maybe it should've been B?

[harsh dove]

you have to remove the plate to install them and that's if you have a compatible PCB that allows for Clip-Ins/Screw-Ins

[tame vessel]

Ooohhh

[harsh dove]

No A 1.6mm is correct

But if you have the OG 60HE PCB then that doesn't have support for Clip-In/Screw-In Stabs

[tame vessel]

I totally misinterpreted clip ins as being compatible with the earlier pcb version that didn't have screw in stabs

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah

[tame vessel]

Whoops

I guess I have poron pads nos instead of bandaid for my stabs at least

[fallen echo]

By Grabthar

what have you done to those stabs?!

[tame vessel]

?

[pine anchor]

guys i need help the screw wont unscrew

i need helpo

@neat laurel

[neat laurel]

ping?

[pine anchor]

yes

so

my screw for the wooting wont unscrew

[neat laurel]

what happened?

weird...

[pine anchor]

basically the screw for the strap wont unscrew

its not budging

can you help?

[neat laurel]

1 sec

i am eating

[neat laurel]

i will do my best

well, what happened, they came like that or did you screw them on and now they dont unscrew?

[pine anchor]

so you know how they come already screwed?

[neat laurel]

yes

[pine anchor]

one of them wont budge.

[neat laurel]

actually, no, they come unscrewed and you screw the strap on

no?

[pine anchor]

no?

they came like they looked scewed togeter

like

[neat laurel]

ahhh, the screws yes

[pine anchor]

tjese

[neat laurel]

i know what you mean now

[pine anchor]

one of them reaches a certain point and then wont budge

[neat laurel]

WD40

[pine anchor]

i dont have any

[neat laurel]

Kidding ofc

Tried using a screwdriver?

[pine anchor]

yeah but it wont be as stable

and it wont budge still

my fingers hurt

so uh

any news on how to fix?

[knotty iron]

so youre trying to unscrew it and it will not unscrew any further?

[pine anchor]

ya

[knotty iron]

and you also tried using a flathead?

[pine anchor]

i did but it didnt work

[knotty iron]

so when you keep unscrewing, does it refuse to even budge, or does it keeps spinning but it doesn't "unscrew" so to say

[pine anchor]

so basically it stays at one point, where its half way and no amount of torque would budge

[knotty iron]

i would suggest providing video evidence, and use the support wizard if these components are not separating

[pine anchor]

It’s like this

And no amount of force can it move

[knotty iron]

so it refuses to budge

[pine anchor]

Yeah

I’m sorry if I may have confused u btw

[knotty iron]

no its ok

but yeah you wanna use the support wizard abd see if you can request replacement parts

[pine anchor]

whats support wizards

should i grab like 2 wrenches and like twist them?

[knotty iron]

https://wooting.io/support
going through this will help us organize our support tickets

[pine anchor]

which one should i pick for the reasoning?

[knotty iron]

I wouldn't suggest it, but if you really want to, then make sure there is a piece of rubber or silicone (like ab elastic band) so there is more grip and no metal on metal scraping (I will not guarantee it will work

[pine anchor]

if i ask support wizard will i have to pay to get them replaced?

[knotty iron]

when you get in touch with support, they will give you information on that, as far as I am concerned, no. I got a replacement keycap switch puller because I broke mine free of charge

[pine anchor]

ah ok

[knotty iron]

"delivered but theres a problem"
probably under "product is damaged"

then you explain with photo and video evidence

[pine anchor]

will one photo suffice or not?

[knotty iron]

i would suggest taking a video of you trying to unscrew the strap screw so they see what the issue is along with the explanation

both hands and flathead

[peak oasis]

HEY i want to have a point on one keys i dont find it in wootility

[pine anchor]

i did with both hands and not a flat head

[knotty iron]

also try a flathead, do both

and they will see its a problem

[pine anchor]

ok

[grim terrace]

Hey everyone, I have the 60he with the original switches and I am not sure how to upgrade. I am torn apart between the lekker 45 v2 and the jade maxes. Any input?

[barren wasp]

Jade maxes have issues

[grim terrace]

I use they keyboard both for gaming as well as my it-sec job.

[grim terrace]

How so? Do the pros have them as well?

[sacred elm]

no

get pros

[grim terrace]

It would be nice the get some facts besides just saying get those or don’t buy this…

Also I already ordered the optimum case with the friction pad but yeah - I would also like to change the switches. Mainly for less wobble and better sound.

I just kind of fear of increasing typos with the 45s

[sacred elm]

jade pros are very nice, wobble is way less compared to lekkers and they sound much cleaner

[grim terrace]

Even compared to the v2 lekkers?

[sacred elm]

Yes.

[grim terrace]

Hm, are you sure? Did you compare them yourself?

[sacred elm]

Yes, I am sure

[lilac solstice]

what switches are compatible with mizar mz60 luna

[sacred elm]

lekker v2s are still wobbly

there is an improvement compared to lekker v1 but still

[grim terrace]

Is there any other downside when switching from lekkers? Is the travel distance the same?

I also wish Wooting would sell the optimum caps in a ISO variant :((

[sacred elm]

no downside, you just get 3.5mm travel distance instead of 4mm

[kind helm]

i think the general opinion here is lekker v2 is fine, but i dont own them myself.

jade max many have said that they have problem though.

[grim terrace]

I guess I will go for the jade pros then. Yeah, I also get the drift of the lekkers v2 being solid but the jades are peak but ofc also 70€

[sacred elm]

jade pros cost like 30-40 on aliexpress when there is a sale

I would suggest to wait for a sale if you want to get them cheaper

[kind helm]

jade pro are not necessarily the best. lekker v2, raw he, jade pro, and maybe ttc pom. are all fine, they just different

[cyan lark]

maybe ttc pom
The constant shade will not prevent my man KoM from shining brightest

[kind helm]

if you just trying things out i personally think raw he is the most reasonable option because it is the cheapest amount the good options while being at the same level of quality

[sacred elm]

lekker v2s are fine but if they want less wobble, its a bad choice

[kind helm]

talk to me after a 50% discount

i am too poor to hear you

[sacred elm]

I couldnt stand how wobbly they were

im pretty sure lucifers are way better switches than lekkers and they cost 0.25$/pc

[kind helm]

jade pro is not exactly good on wobble at least from what i have.

[sacred elm]

are you sure you have jade pros?

[kind helm]

but yee thats not the point, then its between jade pro and raw he again

[sacred elm]

[kind helm]

i am typing on them right now

got bored of my raws might as well break these in

[sacred elm]

well yea jade pros have worse wobble than ttc koms but way better than lekker v2s

slightly better than raws

[grim terrace]

Buying gaterons on aliexpress? Huh?

[sacred elm]

Yes, from reputable seller

[kind helm]

really? i think raw is better with wobble, but i gotta check later. too lazy right now

bottom not sure but top jade moves a bit

[sacred elm]

yes, jade pros have less bottom wobble. on top they might be the same

[kind helm]

if you find free shipping its pretty good

[grim terrace]

I do not support aliexpress, temu etc and neither should you.

[dark cypress]

i ordered my raw hes from divinikey 8.50 for bag of 18 switches

so ordered 5 bags

[kind helm]

top raw is pretty tight, because i remember doing a raw + neo thing and that was tight up to bottom

[kind helm]

why?

[sacred elm]

I dont care about aliexpress, if im using it, im buying from a reputable seller and never had issues

[dark cypress]

90 switches for $55 with the shipping

[grim terrace]

Bruh - look it up. They are not providing good conditions for their employees, paying bad and selling potentially dangerous products just so you can buy things dirt cheap. I will not start a discussion here so I will leave it with this.

[sacred elm]

this is bottom stability

[sacred elm]

Are you using amazon?

[kind helm]

gud info, didn't know lekker v2 is that far out there

[sacred elm]

yes lekker v2s are disappointment, even mad60 stock switches are more stable

[grim terrace]

Good point but aliexpress and temu are much worse and that is a fact.

[kind helm]

makes sense too because for my neo + raw thing it was neo bottom & spring + raw top & stem

[barren wasp]

what does this show

[dark cypress]

so why do alot of people say the raw hes are better

or more stable

[kind helm]

because that only considers the bottom

[kind helm]

IT IS HERE

STREAM TIME

[grim terrace]

Nevertheless - thanks for the input on the switches @sacred elm

[dark cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-star-noted-notes-gif-26231953

[sacred elm]

then buy from gateron. com when there is a sale. you can get 70pc for 50$ or something from gateron

same price on amazon

[dark cypress]

amazon expensive for some things lol

[sacred elm]

most of them havent tried jade pros at all, they have raws and say its better

[dark cypress]

ahh gotcha

[sacred elm]

theyre similar

[dark cypress]

bout to make me order some jade pros as well to see 😂

[inland jetty]

no one ever mentions open bottom vs clossed bottom in terms of lube 😄

[kind helm]

they are better because of the price

[dark cypress]

not on amazon lol

[kind helm]

then yea get whatever is cheaper

[dark cypress]

90 switches was like 85$

[grim terrace]

What are these? https://amzn.eu/d/bSl6gg0

[kind helm]

especially for your first one

[polar girder]

TTC POM?

[sacred elm]

theyre MX switches

[grim terrace]

Jade yellow pro v3?

[sacred elm]

not compatible with wooting

[dark cypress]

i got the raw hes from divinikey for 55$

[harsh dove]

I try everything

[grim terrace]

Are, I am blind. Thanks.

[kind helm]

wait which board you on?

60 or 80

[harsh dove]

Yessir

[dark cypress]

ordered the 80he

[sacred elm]

I said most of them, not all

[barren wasp]

how are sticky rice v2s

[tall hollow]

what pcb was this tested on?

[kind helm]

ahh yea 55 you get like 70 jade pro i think

[dark cypress]

almost here. been tracking it. it took a detour sightseeing in ontario canada apparently lol

[inland jetty]

closed bottom, less messy with lube ❤️

[harsh dove]

Okay those I haven’t tried

Cause I know they poop

[kind helm]

meh

[harsh dove]

Other people in here have tried em

[barren wasp]

pudding?

[sacred elm]

probably wooting, not sure

[kind helm]

they sound clean, loud af, but wobble like mf on top

[tall hollow]

well thats useful

[harsh dove]

Pudding?

[kind helm]

rice pudding is sticky rice by another maker

[harsh dove]

Oh those

Yeah I know about em

[dark cypress]

yeah on amazon jade pros were 10$ cheaper than the raw hes for the amount of switches i need. but divinikey had them at 8.50 for every 18 switches

[harsh dove]

Nah I haven’t tried em

[cyan lark]

You popping the KoMs in tonight Cam?

[kind helm]

mr aligner just showed them last night

[barren wasp]

never knew they were the same

[harsh dove]

Yeah I saw

[kind helm]

mr cam luring from the shadows

[harsh dove]

Yeah I’ll probs stream for the peepo

[tall hollow]

"we will test the switches but not tell you what board we used to test them" is what it sounds like to me

[barren wasp]

what about everglides master he or skyline those any good?

[harsh dove]

I was calibrating sdr/hdr on me monitor

[kind helm]

milktooth has test on master and skyline i think

but that guy a bit...

scammy

just a tiny little bit

[sacred elm]

milktooth...

[kind helm]

wait did i type that wrong

[sacred elm]

no

[kind helm]

this guy

honestly i see a top 5 top 10 top 15 thing i am already sensing the scam

[harsh dove]

I wouldn’t say scammy, just using the buzz words

[kind helm]

he made a top 5 he, raw he not even on the list. guess what is top one and where you can buy them with exclusive discount

[harsh dove]

Ah he’s weird then

The WS Dashes?

[kind helm]

everglide master btw

supposedly cheaper but same as jade pro according to him

[harsh dove]

Hmm

[grim terrace]

Does it make sense to switch out the stock stabilizers?

[kind helm]

a little bit

[harsh dove]

Not unless you’re having issues tbh

[kind helm]

BUT I DONT WANT TO TUNE MY STAB CAM SIR

[grim terrace]

So just holee mod and that’s it?

[kind helm]

[tall hollow]

is the rattle that bad? cauz usually some XHT-BDZ or even dielectric grease can fix rattle

[kind helm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxHb6CJc9V8

[grim terrace]

I just never got around to modding my stock 60he and now that I am waiting for the optimum case I want to do anything I can to make it as nice as possible.

[kind helm]

W
i wish i can be proactive like that

[tall hollow]

I mean, if there is nothing obviously wrong with your stabs, they're fine then.

[harsh dove]

https://www.twitch.tv/camofflife alright nerds

[kind helm]

@calm pulsar mr cam is live with his pom

[calm pulsar]

oh nice, I will lurk for a bit

[tame vessel]

I've hit my end game by just stuffing more foam in the case

[cyan lark]

What'd you call me? Oh, yeah, ok. Enjoy the King 👑

[kind helm]

divinikey venom7u restock

pogger

[cyan lark]

Oh @harsh dove the TTC stems come bone dry, you may want to lube (don't have Twitch or I'd comment in there)

[sacred elm]

what switches are you using?

[tame vessel]

Geon raw hes

[kind helm]

sound like jade pro

damn xD

[sacred elm]

I guess hand lubed raws?

[tame vessel]

Nope

[kind helm]

nah hand lubed deeper

i kinda regrad hand lubing raw actually, or i just want to try some raw raw he

[tame vessel]

Jade pros and geon raw are pretty similar I think? I just went with raws because they seemed like they had better tolerances

[kind helm]

bottom out a bit different

[tame vessel]

Oh true

[kind helm]

actually top out different too, raw pretty quiet on top out

jade pro top out is more noticible

and for bottom out raw sounds a bit... leaky but not in a bad way

me no making sense but i tried

jade pro is cleaner bottom out since its closed bottom.

[sacred elm]

ye

tomorrow my plates arrive

[kind helm]

which one

the cf?

[sacred elm]

fr4 and cf

[kind helm]

jade pro + cf + 80he time

[cyan lark]

That's the combo I'm using for work

Enjoying it

[kind helm]

i would love to sit next to your cubic

[cyan lark]

My office is in my home. That'd be tresspassin' brotha.

[kind helm]

ahh damn thats nice

[cyan lark]

Got great coffee

[kind helm]

i am on jade pro + alu right now, its beautiful

[cyan lark]

Nice, I don't have an alu to try out. I think the harder plate livens them up a bit (compared to PC, at least)

[kind helm]

oh yea

cf i dont dig honestly, tried them a bit, i think too loud to a point that is like... messy. alu hits different but i dont know why

i almost want to try coping alu with foam later on if i find alu on certain board is too loud

[cyan lark]

I still have to try out FR4, just don't have much motivation to at the moment 🤷

Pretty happy with things the way they are

[kind helm]

fr4 would be really muted switching from cf

[cyan lark]

Sure, but I'm back to PC for my KoMs. I might at some point try FR4 with them.

PC takes them down from insane (on CF) to just loud

[kind helm]

that is why i am so curious what would mr cam think about it

hes building cf + kom pom right now

[sacred elm]

FR4 + TTC will be nice I think

[kind helm]

being a pus i would probably do pc + ttc first

i think the spacebar would kill me with fr4 + ttc

[barren wasp]

mods?

[cyan lark]

I tried KoM + CF for about a week before I backed out. It's just a lot. I think it scared my dog.

[tropic urchin]

FR4 is kinda meh compared to CF for clack, once you try CF you realize that you hit the maximum capacity for Jade pros clackiness

[kind helm]

ngl i think jade pro + cf scared my cat as well

LMAO

[tropic urchin]

I removed my tape mod and foam for science and I didn’t even notice a single difference

That shit is scary tbh

[cyan lark]

My pros are on CF and I like them there. I'm considering trying FR4 as a middle ground for my KoMs.

[tropic urchin]

They’d be nice, I’d love for an 80HE aluminum plate option

Those would be goated for KOM I think

But FR4 would be a nice middle ground

[cyan lark]

Alu is above FR4 but below CF yeah?

[kind helm]

yes

but alu fucks

[tropic urchin]

It’s one above fr4, but below brass and CF

[kind helm]

unlike cf or fr4

[cyan lark]

Got a laugh outta me which isn't easy

Oh right I always forget brass

[tropic urchin]

I’m almost tempted to try brass, curious how the metal counterparts do

But I think I’ve maxed out the Jade pros and anything else is going to disappoint me

[cyan lark]

Yeah you can kinda tell when you've heard some switches in a bunch of different ways and got them sounding just right for you.

@kind helm were you the one that went in on the RNG salvation?

[kind helm]

i am the dumb ass who brought it for 300 last year

[tropic urchin]

Lubed Jade pros is the only thing that comes close to marbly clack without getting plasticky, even CF might be overboard a bit, but it shall stand the test of time until I have to swap it out if it gets to be too loud

[cyan lark]

Oh 😭

[prime orbit]

lucifer switches come tomorrow

w

[kind helm]

really?

lubed jade pro seems pretty similar to jade pro for me, but maybe i was too sleepy to tell

[tropic urchin]

Really what

Compared to what

[cyan lark]

I didn't do any lubing on my pros. I guess that's the last thing I could do to that setup for now.

[tropic urchin]

Ooh

I see I see

[prime orbit]

why are knight v2 stabs sold out everywhere LMAO

[tropic urchin]

Atleast my batch for Jade pros had a slight plastickyness to it stock

[cyan lark]

Because I bought them all, sorry 😦

[tropic urchin]

So I lubed the springs and stems quite aggressively and it went away

[prime orbit]

can i buy one pwetty pwease

i need themk to finish my blackout build

[kind helm]

wizard was the one who gambled

[cyan lark]

Ah TY

[kind helm]

i am almost afarid of lubing them since i feel like my tainted raw he is really different from the stock one

[tropic urchin]

Unless you go overboard and do every component I think you should be ok

[kind helm]

i almost dont wanna change jade pro for what it is in a way

[sacred elm]

just bag lube springs

[tropic urchin]

I had to bench a few of mine but it should be ok

[sacred elm]

that will eliminate plasticky sound when you tap

[tropic urchin]

But if yours isn’t plasticky I prob wouldn’t bother

[cyan lark]

Oh did you fuck up some raws like me?

I have a set that I need to clean off. I thought I went easy on them but they just weren't quite right.

[kind helm]

i did fuck it up, but i cleaned and did it again

only took 6 to 8 hours of my life

worth

man those raw he + fr4 + salvation was fckin hot

[tame vessel]

PC plate, poron foam, three layer tape mod, o ring mount, tofu60 redux w/ weight, and two of the tofu foam things

[kind helm]

right now i am struggling with jade pro with salvation

not sure what the setup should be, alu seems to be the best but a bit louder than i like

[prime orbit]

https://divinikey.com/collections/pbtfans-keycaps/products/pbtfans-lyla-blank-keycaps

[cyan lark]

PBTFans cap sets are good quality

heyh guys, does anybody play gta on Wooting?

[prime orbit]

anyone know where i can find knoght v2 stabs?

or any really good black stabs

[tropic urchin]

If you’re US based zkeebs should have some (wire balanced and prelubed), but I believe designer stabs also have a black option too

[prime orbit]

ye US

lemme check

[prime orbit]

this tho?????

[tropic urchin]

Ah

[prime orbit]

bnro the starry night

fire wtfd

i might do that

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I think that’s the one

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I’m a fan of the starry night stabs

But it seems it’s been OOS forever

[prime orbit]

OOS?

[tropic urchin]

Out of stock

[prime orbit]

ooo

yeah

i legit have black pc plate, black redux, black lucifer switches, blank black keycaps. so the starry night would be sick af with that build

[tropic urchin]

They might be worth waiting for

Won’t see your stabs luckily enough until you get the starry night

[prime orbit]

yeah fair

stabs is the last thing i need to finish my final build

hmmm

it is pretty dope tho

wish there was a black version of it

[barren wasp]

are rubber keycaps worth it

[sacred elm]

https://youtu.be/mWKDZRJWdF4?si=8CJ1XworzDJXiUf6

[prime orbit]

w

[prime orbit]

what is the best stabs ot

out

"best" i should say

[tropic urchin]

To my knowledge knight V2s are pretty good (V3s are out), and the designer ones

Using V2s atm

[prime orbit]

knight v2

or designer

[prime orbit]

i cant find v3s

[tropic urchin]

https://swagkeys.com/products/sw-knight-stabilizer?variant=43882933485821

Everything is also sold out which checks

I’d say you can’t go wrong with V2/V3 or designers, I don’t think stabs are as important over other components, but knight V2s have treated me well with my build

[prime orbit]

yeah i wanted black either way

so v3s

or starry nights if i feel adventerous

notthat they are in stock anyway lmao

[noble mason]

not a wooting but my hall effect board

[reef oar]

looks nice

flipped spacebar >

brings a tear to my eye

[noble mason]

yea it feels the most natural to me

[reef oar]

yeah same

way my thumb naturally rests is on the edge of it

flipped and it's resting on it nicely instead

[barren wasp]

Sounds better too

slightly cheaper and arrives faster than the wooting one

also looks cooler IMO lol

[quasi hinge]

https://www.etsy.com/shop/KingCables

[quasi hinge]

Check out these guys for cables

I got one for my new build and it is great

Fully custom and great materials

Hope someone finds this helpful

[rustic charm]

hello! i've been thinking about getting a wooting but i wanna use different switches and the switches i wanna use has a total travel of 3.5. is there a calibration feature on the wooting?

[fluid ravine]

Everytime the keyboard turns on, it automatically calibrates

[harsh dove]

@tropic urchin

[fluid ravine]

Oh shi what I miss

[harsh dove]

TTC POM stream

[fluid ravine]

Fukkk

[rustic charm]

oh sweet does it? thanks!

[tropic urchin]

This is how I imagine this is gonna sound:

[fluid ravine]

How were they?

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squidward-krakatoa-volcano-erupting-gif-4580897

[dark cypress]

they sound clean and nice

at least over stream

[fluid ravine]

Got a recording @harsh dove

[quasi hinge]

How do the switches feel

[cyan lark]

@harsh dove I had to split during the lube job. You a KoM convert?

[harsh dove]

Yeah, they're pretty clean, but expensive

[tropic urchin]

@harsh dove I tried removing my foam and PET film and like CF literally has maxed out my jades something fierce, I had like no difference in sound 💀

[cyan lark]

Yeah I agree they're a bit much which is too bad. I hope they come down.

But tapping on them is fun

[tropic urchin]

ooh i spy knight V2 stabs giga based

[crystal pagoda]

knights are all good

better just gets better but slap any on it wont matter

[harsh dove]

heres a quick one

[knotty iron]

for now there isnt a setting, but it will auto calibrate. I suggest tapping your keys a few times while calibrating

[rustic charm]

is there a prompt that lets u know that its calibrating? sorry if these questions are elementary but im just curious before i can get my hands on one lol

[knotty iron]

thats ok, no there isnt a prompt, it takes usually 30 seconds upon the keyboard powering up

[rustic charm]

ah i see so in those 30 seconds u tap on a few keys and the board will recognize what switches im using ya?

[icy dew]

Bro was sent by the opps

Yo does anyone know if 4 layer tape mod is too much

With like some simple masking tape

How much do you usually do?

[glacial wind]

might want to clean up provokers recent posts, he spammed every channel with that trolling nonsense

think rest of mods still asleep cause of timezone

[chilly mural]

Also for slight racism, saying/implying the n word

[glacial wind]

actually cam might still be awake, he's US based isn't he @harsh dove

eu guys definitely still sleeping, unless they're on that igor 5am wakeup schedule

[harsh dove]

yeah

[glacial wind]

there might be some extra cleanup needed in general lol, he might have said some questionable things when we pointed out his broken wooting image is someone elses photo from 2 months ago

[knotty iron]

sorry im bouncing between work and break

[glacial wind]

all good one of you guys got it i see lol

[knotty iron]

we got a lot of ppl today I was about to report but smt came up and had to be summoned outta break

[harsh dove]

taken care of, ty lol

[vapid oracle]

This looks very clean

Last one in stock had to buy😈

@harsh dove Watcha thoughts on the katakana edition?

[polar girder]

Hype

Yeah look clean

[knotty iron]

same with the X RAYs I got

I got the last of its stock

[kind helm]

all good i fell asleep and miss the second part when bro started lubing

[harsh dove]

Was worth it

even tho I was exhausted

These things sound and feel great

[kind helm]

good to know, i remember you were hesitating after the first one

[vapid oracle]

Hell ya bruh

[harsh dove]

Yeah hard to tell a difference until they're actually in the board but like Sno said, lubing these is def worth and gives a cleaner sound overall

[kind helm]

yea that sounds great, i was wondering if cf works nicer with 80he since the mount is so soft

[harsh dove]

I actually feel like the gasket mount is on the stiffer side on the 80HE, but yeah I do like the CF plate with it

[dark cypress]

cf plate?

[harsh dove]

Carbon Fiber

[dark cypress]

i just watched a video on youtube and the end sound he got from his 80he is 😍

[kind helm]

nice. i thought it would be softer since with most of the gasket you still have like a piece of metal/plastic in the gasket but with 80he its just that whole piece of foam/pad holding the pcb up.

[dark cypress]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f7AqnHrhQA

curious if i should change the stabilizers when it comes in as well but idk what to even pick 😂

[harsh dove]

Alright, Brandon making me whip out the tape mod again

Been awhile

[dark cypress]

that sound he got is 🤤🤤🤤

[harsh dove]

His sound was a bit muted for my taste but not terrible

[dark cypress]

im gonna try the tape mod

[harsh dove]

Yeah it’s a cheap and easy to do mod

[dark cypress]

saw people talking about it earlier saying 3layers should be fine

[harsh dove]

And can experiment with different materials

[harsh dove]

Yeah if you’re using painters tape

[dark cypress]

🤔🤔 what tape you use

[harsh dove]

https://keebmat.com/products/keebtape

I’ve also tried Moleskin tape

Which can be nice

[dark cypress]

this one good though? is that what u have ?

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s what this is in the photo

[dark cypress]

copy

ordering now

[crystal pagoda]

holy moly

big ass role of painters tape for 4 bucks

or 10 bucks for single use pieces

[harsh dove]

They're not single use

I've removed these and re-used them like 10+ times

on multiple boards

that was the right one nvm lol, new sound test with tape mod and polyfill

@dark cypress

[dark cypress]

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

[harsh dove]

kinda sloppy but tis fine lol

[dark cypress]

nah it sounds good

[harsh dove]

yeah, just was doing a quick video so I feel like it's sloppy lol

[dark cypress]

lol nahh

whats some good stabilizers to get

[harsh dove]

The stock ones are fine if you take the time to lube and tune them but if you really want new ones then I really like the Swagkeys Knights Stabilizers

but you can also get cheaper ones that are just fine or like I said, keep the stock ones

[dark cypress]

those come lubed? the knights?

[harsh dove]

No

I basically follow this tho

• https://www.alexotos.com/the-best-mechanical-keyboard-stabilizers-in-2025/

[dark cypress]

ill read into it. and like u said maybe just try lubing the stock ones. gotta read up on this now 😂😂

[harsh dove]

Lol TLDR, its just a list of good stabs to choose from that Alexotos likes, and even tho it's not a tier list, he basically ranks the Knight Stabs as one of the best, only other one he'd consider higher is the Cherry Clip Ins due to their price, he says

[dark cypress]

ahh gotcha. well ima look up how to lube and tune stabilizers 😂

[harsh dove]

https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8?si=uQi1zq7s-kjF-llM

Video from him as well

one thats shared commonly here

[dark cypress]

youtube really does have everything 🤣

[harsh dove]

haha yep

and even tho it says 2022, all tips and advice still apply today

[dark cypress]

copy thanks 🙏🏽

[austere wind]

Hello Guys,
I was wondering If low profile switches are going to Work with the wooting pcbs? This questions comes with https://mechkeys.com/products/ttc-mini-magneto?variant=46656224067807 These new seiches hold in mind. I thought a bit about it, and I think, the magnetic calibration, needs to be programmed special, in order to work well with Low Profile switches.

[glacial wind]

nope, won't work

[austere wind]

Sadge, because of Software or physical fitting reasons?

Thank you for the fast reply btw.❤️

[glacial wind]

magnet is in wrong spot, so it will never be compatible

[icy dew]

how many layers of tape

[harsh dove]

Just one, I'm using Keebtape

so it's thicker

[icy dew]

1mm

hmm ok

[harsh dove]

yeah

Haven't used tape mod in awhile but actually seems alright with this build

[icy dew]

tape mod does a lot for the sound

i did 2 layers of tape mod + polyfill + lubed jade pros in zinc alloy case

i still havent even decided on the keycaps i want to use yet tho

so when testing sound i just take a couple from my main kb and see how it feels

i was considering adding 1-2 more layers of tape maybe

i mean i use generic masking tape so its really thin

[harsh dove]

Very nice, yeah this is the PCR Case (im sure you could tell lol) with Carbon Fiber Plate, TTC POMs [hand lubed], KeebTape and Polyfill

[icy dew]

yeah im trying to get something closer to thocky

[harsh dove]

Yeah I think the ideal is 3 but I think I've seen some do 4

[icy dew]

im not sure, the sound is also decently influenced by the keycaps themselves

so i really should just order them already

so i can make sure im modding for the sound im actually going to get

[harsh dove]

Yeah forsure, depends on materials and even keycap thickness can have an effect

[fluid ravine]

Never imagined the day of you u singg tape mod haha

[harsh dove]

sounds good tho right?

[fluid ravine]

Yup

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/sup-girl-eyebrows-gif-25755293

[harsh dove]

We are not who we were yesterday

[fluid ravine]

Sheeee
Is this, writing fire? 🔥

Mu nephew be saying that when someone spitting bars or preach lmao

Good move on the tape mod @harsh dove .
The board really emphasizes on the lows and mids now compared to without the tape mod, which sounds better imo, esp how the volume of the switch with CF sounded quite a bit low without the tape mod in comparison. +100 points for clouds 💨

Ok I'm maaaad tripping with english
Read this shi 5 times at least and I feel like what I'm saying doesn't make sense or it doesn't sound like how I want it to sound

[chilly mural]

when you're writing with a flow, that can sorta happen

or when you're tired or sleep deprived. drugged to I guess

[harsh dove]

100% agree, good explanation bro

[floral vale]

Anyone ordered from geonworks? Can you delete account after order?

[little glen]

Does anyone know of a good keyboard kit that‘s inexpensive and supports ISO? I was thinking of getting my brother the transition lite but it‘s ansi only and maybe there‘s other options out there that fit better

[lilac solstice]

what switches are these?

[austere creek]

optical switches

https://support.nzxt.com/hc/en-us/articles/23981475869723-What-Optical-Switches-are-compatible-with-my-NZXT-Function-2-Keyboard

as you seem to have an nzxt board

[lilac solstice]

mizar mz60 luna

[dark cypress]

what you use to lube the stabilizers

i see 105 for springs and 205 for switches

[tawdry tree]

Just 205 for most stabilizers. Thicker grease can be used as well for the wire.

[severe wolf]

are there still compatibility issues with the sticky rice v2 and the wooting?

i’m mostly just looking for a creamy/thocky sound profile so that’s all i really care about. i also saw the sticky rice are pretty much the same as the rice pudding, is this true? perhaps considering the ws dash he otherwise, please lmk any thoughts or opinions! (open to suggestions)

[kind helm]

time to flex my thocky creamy tofu again

[tawdry tree]

Sticky Rice V2s never had any reported issues, so no. The issues the V1s had seem to have been resolved through new firmware.

Sticky Rice V2s aren’t thocky by the way. They’re quite loud and clacky.

[severe wolf]

interesting, everything i’ve seen has suggested otherwise. how would you describe the sound profile on the rice puddings then?

[tawdry tree]

Here’s the visual difference between the three: #🔧│keyboard_modding message
The Rice Puddings are still clacky but not as loud as Sticky Rice V2s are.

Slightly lower pitched than Jades.

[glacial wind]

tl;dr all of the HE switches with closed bottom are clack city. Some are a little less clack city but still heavily investing into clack tower, clack condo and clack villas

thock doesn't exist at all in terms of what 'custom keyboard' folk call thock in HE keyboards

[severe wolf]

i have realized that but twas a dream lol

[kind helm]

we can thock with some foam and cotton though, like its not gonna thock like mx board but it will thock

[glacial wind]

raw he and jade pro do sound very clean though, while having a very non wobbly stem, so that's just what most folks end up going with since at least their sound is very clean

[tropic urchin]

Clack tower and villas sound like a nice time

[glacial wind]

Yes. Then if you go carbon fiber plate with ttc magneto pom switch you get clack skyscraper penthouse

[cyan lark]

Not great for restful sleep tho

[glacial wind]

Who needs sleep when you have a penthouse

[tropic urchin]

With a lighthouse light shining everywhere

[glacial wind]

I look down from above at the clackless peasants below

[cyan lark]

What simple lives they must lead

[glacial wind]

from up here they look like ants

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-zoidberg-zoidberg-clack-gif-20363697

“We want thocc”

[kind helm]

time to get pom and go pom + cf + tray mount to to go above and beyond with maximal clack

maxiaml stability

maximal loudness

[cyan lark]

Minimal sanity

[dark cypress]

so 205 would be for everything on the stabilizer ?

[tropic urchin]

That’s not in a high supply around these parts

[tawdry tree]

For most stabilizers, that’s fine, yes.

[kind helm]

you will feel your sanity slowly slipping away, your pet too scared to come near you, you stop hearing anything else but that clacky fuckery

[dark cypress]

ok thank you

[tawdry tree]

This is a good guide: https://youtu.be/xlSIIZqyQR0

[dark cypress]

thank you 🙏🏽

[kind helm]

does the middle part matter at all, because with mr alexotos method the middle part is bound to bend a bit

[tawdry tree]

not really, there can be a slight bend in the middle without any issues. the sides being aligned are the most important.

If they aren’t aligned, then you’ll have ticking.

like that

that’s bad.

[kind helm]

simple yet clear, what a beautiful diagram

[tawdry tree]

exaggerated, but you get the point. a slight bend like that is fine.

[kind helm]

"exaggerated" "slight" now that is misleading

[severe wolf]

would anyone know if cera keycaps will work with everglide rice puddings or the jade pros? lol

[reef oar]

yeah

wouldn't recommend it on 40g springs though

[stone flax]

cerakeys?

bad

[kind helm]

welcome back sir

[stone flax]

dont buy rice puddings if u can just buy luficers no?

67 cents a switch on milktooth is diabolical

[glacial wind]

they work fine with any of the wooting compatible switches. Beware of qc issues though, you may have to do an exchange or two to get them all fully 'straight' aligned

that and they're generally a bit of a slippery keycap since they're ceramic, so I don't know how much i'd want to use them for daily gaming

*also you'll need to spring swap the space bar for sure, and maybe even the rest of the switches depending on how much tension you want in your switch keys

[stone flax]

or buy a normal no-fuss keycap set

[glacial wind]

jade pros for example at roughly 50g bottom out, so space bar won't work well 100% and the other keys may feel a little more sluggish return than you'd like

[young tree]

I’m gonna buy a wooting in a few days, and I don’t know how do I lube my switches. Like I’m gonna get a gateron magnetic jade and I want a quiet sound and a smooth click, anyone to help?

[sacred elm]

swapped pc plate with fr4 🤓 will try cf too in couple days

[sacred elm]

jades arent quiet

[young tree]

ik

ki like it

but i want to lube to make smoother ou quieter

[kind helm]

👀 do you find fr4 being loud?

[sacred elm]

louder than pc for sure

[sacred elm]

then if youre going for jades, get jade pros

[young tree]

where i can get that

any good site?

[sacred elm]

gateron. com

[young tree]

kj

[sacred elm]

I like that its way stiffer than pc, 80he pc plate is like silicon plate lol

[kind helm]

yea i remember seeing on mr.cam's stream

flopping like crazy

[inland jetty]

someone liked what they saw

[sacred elm]

fr4 had almost no flex

[kind helm]

i think with fr4 they should only be bounce already when typing, you gotta put a bit of force to flex it

[sacred elm]

i feel like fr4 is a good balanced plate for 80he, pc was way too soft for me

[kind helm]

bro preparing his body and mental for cf

[sacred elm]

[young tree]

is there any switch that would be like gateron jade pro from the wooting site?

[sacred elm]

wooting sells regular jades, but theyre just worse version of jade pros

[inland jetty]

they sell jades if u got any discounts. I have both, if ur not a hobbyist and u can get them at a good price, from ther website, take it if youi like them.

[sacred elm]

try ordering from aliexpress when there is a sale on jade pros, or just get geon raw he

if youre from EU get geon raw he from deltakeyco
if youre from NA get from divinekey

[young tree]

im sa

[sacred elm]

hmm, check aliexpress then and get either of those two from reputable sellers

[young tree]

ok

[pliant root]

you can use 2 different type of lekker switches at the same with no issues correct? like l60 and a 45 one?

[sacred elm]

ye

[tropic urchin]

its like more concentrated towards the center than every angle being a flopping fish trying to breathe

that PC edge to edge flop is CRAZY

someone gotta put the PC plate in the NBA ong

[sacred elm]

💀

💀

[orchid folio]

last step towards full custom board 🥹

actually why doesnt it say v2 on the package

[sacred elm]

check switches

is there gateron on them?

if not theyre v2

[orchid folio]

whats geteron

like the word?

[sacred elm]

yea

[orchid folio]

it has little W

i think we are good

[sacred elm]

yea if there is not gateron, then its v2

[tawdry tree]

Those are not V2s.

If that’s your question.

[kind helm]

how can you tell

[orchid folio]

thats the old ones

[tawdry tree]

And the package does say V2.

[orchid folio]

OMG YOURE RIGHT

[tawdry tree]

Translucent bottom housing (V2s are completely opaque).

[sacred elm]

wait actually there is v2

we are both blind

[orchid folio]

lmaooo

[sacred elm]

[orchid folio]

is this gonna make my board too cozy

i kinda wanted to dampen it now im concerned about heat

last night i realized it gets a little warm when i unlock tachyon stability cap even without mods

[tawdry tree]

The 60HE+ does NOT get hot enough to cause fire.

😃👍

[high sphinx]

Nice my silicone caps arrived

[dark cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/wondering-nacho-libre-wonderbread-thinking-jack-black-gif-18537222

[barren wasp]

what are geons new he switches called?

[tawdry tree]

Lucifers

They will cause fire.

[high sphinx]

This will do for now untill i get my hands on the leggera 😜

[tawdry tree]

that’s good

[high sphinx]

Yup

[dark cypress]

full travel or long pole

[barren wasp]

what do you mean by cause fire?

[tawdry tree]

You use Lekkers, so Full Travel.

[tawdry tree]

Joking.

[dark cypress]

ordered geon raw hes as well 😅

[barren wasp]

are they better than raws?

[dark cypress]

full travel will work with the raws too ?

[tawdry tree]

Full Travel still. If your keycaps are of decent quality you won’t have any issues.

[tawdry tree]

No, they’re just closed bottom Hejins. Not anything special about them.

[dark cypress]

went with those steelseries ones.

got both colors cuz i couldnt decide if black or white so i got both 😂 and just gonna make my own pattern

[tawdry tree]

Those are fine. You won’t have issues with Full Travel.

[dark cypress]

copy thank you 🙏🏽

[tawdry tree]

They’re ISO compatible right?

[dark cypress]

iso ?

im american

isnt iso international

[tawdry tree]

Oh nvm

Different guy

[dark cypress]

si señor

[tawdry tree]

mb

[dark cypress]

we all look alike 😂

[tawdry tree]

😭😭

[dark cypress]

😂😂

[high sphinx]

Here a sound test for who wants 😃

[barren wasp]

stats?

[high sphinx]

Tofu redux case with tofu redux foam, silicone caps over the standoffs for better sound, venom pcb, friction pad from wooting, alu plate , geon raw switches and in a few days my gmk keycaps

[kind helm]

did you get the weight?

for tofu redux

[high sphinx]

Yup i did

[kind helm]

have you tried without the redux foam?

[sage flicker]

you guys think we'll ever get HE springs under 28g? 😄

[kind helm]

maybe a bit more echoey and metallic

[high sphinx]

Here is one whitout the foam and whotout the silicone caps i put on

[kind helm]

maybe a bit too harsh

[dark cypress]

ordered 🙌🏽

[high sphinx]

Yeah that is why i put the silicone caps and the foam in

[tawdry tree]

We got 400g springs and 10mm springs, I’m sure we’ll see 20g springs someday.

Also, what the frick are you gonna use lighter springs for?

do you want ur spring force and keycap weight to be in equilibrium

💀

[chilly mural]

Could be useful for rhythm game

[tawdry tree]

😭😭

[kind helm]

future tech,blow on the cap to actuate it instead of using your fingers

[chilly mural]

Just set the actuation really low like 3.5mm

[sage flicker]

i want to test ze limits of how low i can go and comfortably type.

[tawdry tree]

Are you comfortably typing on 28g?

[high sphinx]

I really loke my build i am curious about how it will sound with the gmk keycaps tho and with a fr4 plate i ordered

[sage flicker]

well, i was. But I didn't attempt to speed type on them. Going back to them tomm when I get the 22mm 28g springs I ordered, lol.

will let you know.

[kind helm]

fr4 will be really muted compare to alu, gmk would make your board sound a little bit higher pitch

assuming what you have is pbt

[high sphinx]

Yup

[tawdry tree]

It would be impressive if you can tbh. Are you a wrist rest user?

Makes sense.

[sage flicker]

28g is not that light really, I tried 12g choc springs before lol

now those were interesting

[high sphinx]

Hmm when i get fr4 i will compare and see what i loke best

[orchid folio]

v2 lekkers actually kinda lit

i like my mod

it be quiet

[tawdry tree]

Without wrist rest, I rest on the keys which isn’t enough to actuate them but with 28g it’s annoying.

I like slightly more resistance

[sage flicker]

ah ya. u need wrist rest for sure.

[high sphinx]

I do think the silicone caps i used help tho for the sound

[tawdry tree]

Nah, hinders how easy I move. I tried and without is better for me.

My hands get lazy with a wrist rest

[polar girder]

Well, need wrist rest for uber light springs^^

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[polar girder]

I switched to the carpios

Big fan

[tawdry tree]

or just don’t use springs that light. 🥴

[polar girder]

lol to each their own

I live light springs

28g is pretty light lol

[tawdry tree]

You use them with your keyboard as well?

[polar girder]

Yeah

Just one

[tawdry tree]

Might try that

[polar girder]

And my right hand is connnected

G2.0 for right hand

So whether mouse or keyboard it’s in place

I like it quite a bit

I also use an XXL pad tho

So there’s that

https://deltahub.io/products/gaming-carpio-set

Good combo

I kind of want their little Air things tho

Sometimes it gets a little sweaty lol

[sage flicker]

was in game, lol. you prob gotta try more wrist rests, diff heights. Maybe you need taller/shorter ones.

[sage flicker]

in fact, without wrist rest, could be fine too because your hands are now raised and weight is still on the palm, on the desk.

[polar girder]

But they’re dumb expensive for a small part lol

[polar girder]

Not everyone has to use wrist rest. It’s ok lol

[kind helm]

that looks hella fancy, do you use the one on your right hand

doesn't it kinda block your motion

[polar girder]

Yeah the strap one on right hand

Nah

I’m full fingertip grip on low sens and I love it

[kind helm]

hmmmm interesting

[tawdry tree]

the price is a pain but this might help. it wouldn’t hinder movement as with a full size wrist rest

[tawdry tree]

haven’t tried many tbf but I move my hand a lot when gaming. not really sure why

like from side to side, slightly.

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m a big fan

[kind helm]

that is a nice setup

[polar girder]

It was a little weird at first cuz it kind of does slow your wrist down for mouse a tiny bit.

[kind helm]

why is the monitor so far to the left though

[polar girder]

But I got used to it

[polar girder]

For the picture

lol

[kind helm]

ah

xD

[kind helm]

yea that was my thinking

unless they have like glide or whatever that is call on the bottom

[polar girder]

Yeah there’s something

But no skates tho

That’s where i usually have monitor

Not as helpful of a pic 😅

[chilly mural]

mmm, very close to face

[polar girder]

Indeed

Gotta be able to smell the pixels

[orchid folio]

how to get more THOCC

this sounds so clicky

[sage flicker]

well he said he can't use 28g comfortably without the wrist rest, which is what we were talking about.

[sage flicker]

that's crazy, you're using that carpio rest for KB. I tried it for mouse, didn't like it.

[polar girder]

Switch to MX keyboard

[polar girder]

I’ve been chasing “thock” and finally just gave up

[orchid folio]

XD

[polar girder]

What your components tho

[orchid folio]

just alumaze and the regular pcb screwed in

[kind helm]

I am pretty sure your board is thocking already, kilmat + plate foam

[orchid folio]

and i added some cotton buds i ripped apart

trying to dampen it

[orchid folio]

wanted to mute the highs :D

[polar girder]

Stock Steel plate and stock lekkers?

[polar girder]

Meh

[orchid folio]

yeah

lekker v2 factory lube

[polar girder]

It’s more thick than clack but still pretty mid

I’d probably get the pc plate and the friction fit pad then

And you’re chilling

[kind helm]

pc plate would be the thing for sure

[polar girder]

Maybe lube up the switches if you want

I oil the hell out of my springs lol

Like half a drop per spring type shit

[warped tendon]

goated setup

[polar girder]

But I wouldn’t recommend that

But oil springs is like a top kid IMO

[warped tendon]

btw, its possible to debadge the saturn pro

i found out when cleaning it once

a bit of text started to flake so i decided to take it all off

[orchid folio]

maybe i need better keycaps too, i think these are just a little thin cause theyre cheap

theyre so thin they bleed rgb where the stems are

[polar girder]

Ah nice. Yeah I haven’t washed mine yet. Definitely preferred the old school minimal logo.

[warped tendon]

ive had mine about half a year, washed it like 4 times now and this 4th time 2 weeks ago i guess i scrubbed a bit too rough over the text

[polar girder]

Nice. Yeah I use to have a Venus for a while and washed it once.

[sacred elm]

ok what the hell is that mouse 💀

[polar girder]

I usually just use bathtub and fingers with free and clear laundry detergent

[polar girder]

Aim bot

[sacred elm]

nahhuh

[warped tendon]

Goated

[polar girder]

Lolz true I still hold it

[warped tendon]

Wired mice high-key making a comeback

G pro x skibidi af, op1 8k rizzy af

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m all wired everything

Big fan

[warped tendon]

The only wireless mouse that looks somewhat interesting is the zeromouse blade

[orchid folio]

is that a thing wooting sells themselves or from a 3rd party

[polar girder]

Wooting sells them
