[stone flax]

not worth otherwise

[crimson sky]

well yea, with a venom you got more options

that was my entire point

[uneven cradle]

even then you're stuck with HE switches

[crimson sky]

for a 60HE the only options that are (arguably) better are the frog mini and a duck eagle v1 (gl getting that)

[crimson sky]

well yea, HE is stuck with HE switches

[uneven cradle]

yep and the sound is still... lacking

no matter which case you use

[tawdry tree]

Neither, you’ll hear the stabs more but I wouldn’t call that more clack.

The salv and tray aren’t comparable imo. It is tray but it isn’t at the same time.

[fathom crescent]

Can I use the ordinary labs cable for the wooting?
Heard some aftermarket cables have issues

[tawdry tree]

Labs?

[fathom crescent]

https://ordinarylabs.com/products/ordinary-labs-usb-a-to-c

This one

[uneven cradle]

probably fine, it's short enough

[fathom crescent]

[tawdry tree]

Maybe. Probably. Hopefully.

[stone flax]

barely a traymount

if u use two screws, they are just there to make sure it doesnt fall out

and if u do away with the center leaf springs and use no screws its like a stack 😭

just dont turn the board upside down and get max bounce

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[polar girder]

Tray mount with shocks

But still a tray mount

[tawdry tree]

all tray is the same 😔

[uneven cradle]

does salvation need a custom plate?

[ocean anchor]

would banana split linear switches work well on a wooting 60 modual and do i get any spacebar stabilizer or what one should i get

[calm pulsar]

no

[thorn zealot]

should i do what thackson is doing and getting a db for venom and just getting almost any mid usb 60

[uneven cradle]

oh well another thing going for it then

[polar girder]

I’ve been told it comes with db just need cable

[thorn zealot]

like a db cable

[calm pulsar]

needs a jst cable yeah

the db is on the pcb itself, you have to break it off of it

[high sphinx]

@uneven cradle what is ur build if i may ask ?

[calm pulsar]

also I believe there are some different jst cables, and venom needs a certain type

[stone flax]

incompatible

[calm pulsar]

@thorn zealot

just fyi

[uneven cradle]

I have a 60HE in a frog mini

[polar girder]

I should’ve got a cable

RIP me

[thorn zealot]

scrap salvation

[high sphinx]

Oh nice u got a frog mini

[calm pulsar]

can probably be easily found locally, just need to know what kind

[polar girder]

Fair

I’ll save your screenshot then lol

But also frog mini for life

[calm pulsar]

we need a role for frog mini gang

[polar girder]

I don’t want to buy another case hopefully ever lol

[calm pulsar]

amirite

[uneven cradle]

I also have a venom60 on the way but haven't decided what case I'll eventually put that in, for now it goes in the tofu60 I have

[thorn zealot]

is this in geon server

im braindead idk what to even start to look at

[calm pulsar]

accept pm I will forward the message with links, the links are to geon server iirc

sent

[high sphinx]

Can someone post a sound test of the frog mini ?

[calm pulsar]

fr4 and alu

[high sphinx]

ty

[knotty iron]

yep! might need much heavier springs tho!

[calm pulsar]

bro they couldn't have made the rest of the mods in tone with alphas? such a good color otherwise...

[prime orbit]

4 days late for my switches

Sadge

[calm pulsar]

too late to delete the screenshot, I'm already typing on your switches

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-type-gif-24052524

[prime orbit]

NO

WHY

😭

Take my raw he

[calm pulsar]

raws are supposedly better than lucifers

but you will be able to do some frankenswitching at least

[prime orbit]

They are

But I’m doing a blackout build

So went from knights -> raw he -> Lucifer’s

And those are the last ones I shall get

Only thing I need left are black stabs

However they are sold out Sadge

Knights

[sacred elm]

try rawhe lucifer frankenswitch

[prime orbit]

But the white…

[calm pulsar]

you could do my jade knights, only thing they have a white raw stem, but it is not seen anyways lol

[prime orbit]

Most of the mods are not seen to be fair lmao

But I’ll know it’s there

….

[fluid ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/xray-vision-specs-glasses-gif-20701197

[prime orbit]

And putting 2 switches together

I already broke a pc player

Plate

I don’t trust myself anymore

[calm pulsar]

well the switch housings can be seen if you try, so I still enjoy the blackness of my frankenswitch

[fluid ravine]

damn i could never give up like that

[prime orbit]

You got a pic?

[prime orbit]

After spending another $20

Yeah I give up lol

[fluid ravine]

Does this make you feel better?

[prime orbit]

Tf

Is that

😭😭💀

[fluid ravine]

you broke a pc plate, I broke 2, and after breaking two, im still doing this shit

even this

[fluid ravine]

trussstttt you'll be fine

[fluid ravine]

damn i wish i could get the opportunity to do this type of stuff

looks fun ngl

[prime orbit]

What’s the point tho

Like the switch is fine enough by itself

[calm pulsar]

black looking switch
snappier topout sound

[prime orbit]

Snappier?

Isn’t that just gladly

Clacky

[calm pulsar]

compared to even jade pro it like clearer on topout

due to how raw stem and black knight upper interact

[prime orbit]

Also that’ll take so much time 😭💀

[calm pulsar]

yeah but some of it can be frustrating

friction issues that I had with the gateron stem

[fluid ravine]

ah cus you can unlucky with friction and shi

yeee

[calm pulsar]

thankfully raw stem is way better in there

[fluid ravine]

i mean that's the point of the hobby

time and money

experimenting

building

everything takes time

even waiting for your orders

[calm pulsar]

btw second venom is in my country now

[prime orbit]

Trust me I know about waiting for my orders

[fluid ravine]

naice

[fluid ravine]

hah you aint the only one

[calm pulsar]

I suddenly remembered gmk prussian blue exists

I need it absolutely

[fluid ravine]

LOL

[fluid ravine]

ohhh

that's one interesting blue

[calm pulsar]

yeah I love all the blue/sea green shades af

my guitar will have similar color

[fluid ravine]

oh hellllllllllllllllllllll yeah

[tropic urchin]

mark that as NSFW 😳

holy

W Les Paul and color

[calm pulsar]

true lol
mine won't be a prs, but I hope the luthier gets the color close to this

[polar girder]

lol why two

[calm pulsar]

it's a prs

[cyan lark]

Very pretty

[tropic urchin]

ah ic ic, my eyes deceive me

I blame the picture orientation 🤣

[calm pulsar]

but it does have a similar vibe yeah

[tropic urchin]

I fuck with the green birch color

[calm pulsar]

when it is time to break off the usb port that fits the gh60 cases, I want to have an extra one to be able to use with my frog

so one for daughterboard, one for gh60 type

[fluid ravine]

I hope I can forever stay in daughterboard for my venom

[little glen]

Maybe i‘ll get a second venom when leggera comes out (and if i have disposable income at that time)

[tropic urchin]

New watch time

[calm pulsar]

hoooooooolyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[tropic urchin]

That’s the green birch which is what I first thought of

My personal favorite dial from GS

[calm pulsar]

yeah that's sick, the material also looks like the flame maple top on the guitar

[calm pulsar]

venom in leggera would be awesome

also cool thing about dbs is that the port won't ever move

[fluid ravine]

Gonna go for Leggera G

[calm pulsar]

have there been news on when they start selling btw? I remember there were preorders but in korea

[fluid ravine]

I know damn well that Pesante fi8nna be expensive

[fluid ravine]

im guessing Q1 of this year

Jan-Mar i suppose

[calm pulsar]

ah its the one with a fancier weight and also higher angle I think

[fluid ravine]

like this shi heavy af

[cyan lark]

Holy fuck dude

[fluid ravine]

like fyi the frog mini weighs in at 1.2kg

[calm pulsar]

daym

[fluid ravine]

Pesante is 3.15kg

[calm pulsar]

holy shit lmao

[fluid ravine]

that shi finna cost more than froggy fo sho

[calm pulsar]

I'd go for the G too

[fluid ravine]

fug tray mount

[fluid ravine]

talked to dave earlier about the potential prices, "I think both ALU and acrylic leggera's will be both under 100 or ALU being 100 base on weight I feel
0.63kg for ALU and 0.28kg for acrylic, frog mini was 1.2kg"

the alu and acrylic don't weight that much

opti case is like 930 grams?

947grams*

[calm pulsar]

yeah the price should be very friendly

[fluid ravine]

indeed

def not the pesante doe

😭

[calm pulsar]

xd

[fluid ravine]

pesante finna cost like a gold brick

[calm pulsar]

can't figure out whether which between leggera and pesante has the same angle

looks like pesante is a modificaiton of the outer dimensions

[fluid ravine]

yeah should be

cus looking at it

the tray mount points sit lower than the posts

since pesante has both mounts, i suppose that when you use tray mount, the posts will go through the cutouts then the pcb will sit on the standoffs. then as for gummy mount it will only sit on the poosts.

i could be wrong, but it's just a guess with the two eyes i got

[calm pulsar]

makes sense tbh

[fluid ravine]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

removeable standoffs? :0

[calm pulsar]

everyone should do removable standoffs if the case supports oring mount

[fluid ravine]

nah for realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

dude i was praying for removable standoffs on the optimum case

like i was WANTING removable standoffs

need*

like i know i could just use the silicone covers only on the posts but getting this thing bouncy like touches the standoffs as i press down

[calm pulsar]

yeah when it touches standoffs it becomes a bit less of a gummy oring mount

[fluid ravine]

chat do i pull out the dremel

[polar girder]

Yeah standoffs should be removable 100

[polar girder]

Gross

It’s 2025

[fluid ravine]

ay atleast im not running foam

[calm pulsar]

lool

Thackson calling out Bigsly

[fluid ravine]

[tropic urchin]

I’m a bad influence hehe

[polar girder]

lol foam and standoffs are not on the same level

Foam shamer

[fluid ravine]

i shame foam but i dont shame clouds ☁️

[cyan lark]

Feeling like a pauper with my Hamilton and plastic caps 😭

[tropic urchin]

Gotta start somewhere

If it had gold indices I’d trade in my Rikka overnight

[cyan lark]

"Start", he says 😢

[tropic urchin]

I started with like $45 sekiro that I scratched instantly in middle school

That’s when I swore off hardlex crystal

[gleaming crane]

Are tx ap rev 4 worth it, or should I just keep my rev 3

[tropic urchin]

Doesn’t help I have expensive tastes , which is why I refuse to look at Rolex bc that shit is like 8-9k for basic steel 😭

[tawdry tree]

Are you experiencing an issue with your current stabs?

[gleaming crane]

No

[tawdry tree]

Then there’s no need to do or change anything. 😅

“Better” stabs take less time to tune. The end result of nearly all stabs can be the same.

So a “worse” stab can and most likely will have the same end result as a “better” stab.

[stone flax]

https://tenor.com/view/hibike-anime-anime-yapping-yap-shut-up-gif-14097572782261890092

[thorn zealot]

is it better to get a mid usb case like a bakeneko over salvation

[fluid ravine]

I mean for a venom would it just be better to ask yourself what mount you prefer?

rather than worrying about where the usb port is?

Honestly personally rn, if I ever to worry about the mid usb, i would wonder how i would route the cable on my desk 😭

[high sphinx]

Yeah i rhink it is mostly preference

[thorn zealot]

nah idc abt where the usb is

[fluid ravine]

well then i suppose you shouldn't worry about it

[thorn zealot]

im just deciding between 3 boards rn

[gleaming crow]

Anyone have any recommendations for a stable monitor arm that’s less wobbly

[glad hull]

Jades or geon raw I cant decide 😭

[fluid ravine]

Raws

[glad hull]

okay

[sacred elm]

jade pros

[fluid ravine]

"Jades" or Geon Raw
we know what to pick here

[sacred elm]

jade pros

[vapid oracle]

Jade pros

[jade storm]

Geon Raw

silly

[polar girder]

Oh snap

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B097376LKF/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1

[fluid ravine]

ohhh snap

i got my white ver for $75 on sale

such a steal at the time

CAM said he has to put WD40 between the joints after 2 years because it squeaking but after that it's perfectly smooth and fine.

I had to apply WD40 in mine the same day i got it cus it was squeaking when i needed to tighten the tension, but it smooth now

idk what the Pro version is like, pretty sure they removed the knobs and replaced it with gas spring loaded shi in the joints

don't like how they have the cable route only coming out the bottom only now at the head of the boom arm

[polar girder]

Yeah they have new, old and pro versions

[fluid ravine]

honestly i dont know how to feel about the $80 increase

i def fk with this

i dont enjoy the ball head on the old one

it aint too great

[glacial wind]

Gas springs are very neat, although that thing do be pricy

[fluid ravine]

mhm

great upgrades from the old one but $80+ im good

i would be fine if it was like $50

[glacial wind]

They’re already selling in Korea as of yesterday for 2 colors

[fluid ravine]

black and silver?

[glacial wind]

No idea if/when international sales will start though

Yeah black and silver are already on Korean store

[calm pulsar]

woaw
I would love to get one but also want different looks from my frog mini

[fluid ravine]

still struggling to choose a color for xray :)

https://tenor.com/view/suicide-kms-gif-4481206

[fluid ravine]

are you picking one up yourself sno?

[glacial wind]

Nah I have enough cases and don’t really even use my 60he besides testing stuff

I like my f row

[uneven cradle]

centerpiece actually coming out for real no cap this time

[sacred elm]

midpiece

[chilly mural]

Eyejoker needs to test it frfr

[glacial wind]

The real bet is how long do you think will be between preorder and delivery

[stone flax]

Months

[polar girder]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MZ99Y67

My current pos

[fluid ravine]

my old one costed about the same price 😭

atleast you got a bette base than my old one for all i know

[dark cypress]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CX8PWYD8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

i use this one

its sturdy if you're looking for one

[polar girder]

Looks solid

You like?

[dark cypress]

i do

[polar girder]

Nice

[terse lintel]

Whats a good way to make the upstroke of my spacebar not so damn loud? I've tried taping the inside to dampen it but it doesnt do much...

It nearly silenced the actual pressing noise but the going up noise is now dominant

[sacred elm]

get spacebar foam

[terse lintel]

More effective than tape?

[sacred elm]

idk about tape

[fluid ravine]

wtf 😭

[calm pulsar]

fragile mount

[fluid ravine]

i rather buy a psa1+ full price

fk that

[polar girder]

lol I just was going to buy a cat toy and got a notice that LP went down in price lol

[terse lintel]

Alright I ordered spacebar foam, probably better than tape lol

[sweet oak]

[cold bloom]

My venom 60HE pcb and 7u alu plate came in today, I couldn't wait to build it so took apart another module for the stabs and it's amazing

[calm pulsar]

poggers

[calm pulsar]

𝙎𝙏𝙐𝙍𝘿𝙔 𝙁𝙄𝙓𝙀𝘿 𝙎𝙏𝙍𝙐𝘾𝙏𝙐𝙍𝙀

[calm pulsar]

salv, tsangan, great clack

love it

[cold bloom]

So good

Haven't messed with my HE board in months but this was worth it

I will say the wooting software is still miles better

This has rapid trigger, deadzones which wooting doesn't have, modtap and SOCD

but wooting has adjustable hold to the mod tap settings, analog input for controller input in games like racing which I feel makes a HUGE difference

and other nice to have features

[polar girder]

Cursed

[fluid ravine]

indeed

[marsh saffron]

W mic

[hidden edge]

How do I fix this rattling sound

[marsh saffron]

lube/tune your stabs

[glacial wind]

which keycaps are those? Almost looks like kkb retro dark lights but it's not

[hidden edge]

It just started happining in the last hour. Can stuff be unlubbed in like a hour. I’ve had this keyboard for a good 2 weeks and it has never done this.

The stem also wobbles a lot on the left side but little to none on the right side

[fluid ravine]

@glacial wind do u know how much the leggera was in KRW when it was released on the Korean store?

[stone flax]

blud thats mixed lights

[glacial wind]

you mean early release?

or like now release

[fluid ravine]

Yeye

Early I suppose

[glacial wind]

early release was like 65-70k krw

so like $50 ish

[fluid ravine]

Oh shi-

[glacial wind]

now it's like 95k though

for instock anyway

[glacial wind]

geon always has first release stuff with really nice discount, then the later stock is a bunch more

[prime orbit]

Convinced they hate my orders

💀💀

[cold bloom]

it is, dark alphas

[glacial wind]

ahh wait do you have to novelty/extras for the wasd?

that's what was throwing me off

[cold bloom]

https://unikeyboards.com/products/keykobo-retro-mixed-lights-keycap-set-r2-instock-extras?variant=45714033180990

There's a dark extension set in R2

that has the colored dots on WASD like the base set

[glacial wind]

yeah that makes sense. I've rarely seen that wasd dots before on the dark alphas

[cold bloom]

yeah it's really cool

def my fave set I have rn

[fluid ravine]

Still a good price for me tbh

Thx for the info

[glacial wind]

yeah it's still fairly reasonable pricing for a good quality entry level case

[fluid ravine]

[glacial wind]

i prefer the leggera design over the old frogs

i don't like the split seam down the middle of the case on the old frogs

[fluid ravine]

Cus if the tadpole mount?

[glacial wind]

nah i mean just the upper/lower case matching up section that creates the seam across the whole side of the case

whereas that seam isn't there on the leggera since design changed a bit

[fluid ravine]

O

[cold bloom]

I need the leggera to release like I need air

[fluid ravine]

🙏

Need my free shipping

[cold bloom]

real af

[fluid ravine]

FUGGGG dhl

[cold bloom]

DHL is goated for speed lately for me tho

[fluid ravine]

That shit finna be +$25

[glacial wind]

just live in korea. $2 shipping for everything lol

[fluid ravine]

Idk what it is RN

[cold bloom]

I just got my venom that left LA yesterday today in Alberta

[fluid ravine]

All ik is that I'm COOKED

[fluid ravine]

Ok yeah true they fast

But still I'm going helle broke

[cold bloom]

Crazy fast lately, I got something from Mode in Boston to Albreta in 2 days a few weeks ago with DHL

[fluid ravine]

Once I pay my friend the money for the key caps and stabs
I only got 30 bucks in my wallet

Gee fking gee

[cold bloom]

lol

welcome to adulthood

and keyboards

[fluid ravine]

Yup..

Well

Lunar new years coming up

[cold bloom]

as long as ur not negative and have bills to pay you'll be aight

just not fun lol

[fluid ravine]

[cold bloom]

LMAO

[fluid ravine]

Me on lunar new years

[polar girder]

A venom in o-ring legerra would be sweet

[glacial wind]

adult is less fun. Just be born into insanely rich family like some of the kids I see who buy 10x keyboards and 50x finalmouse versions when they're 15 years old

[fluid ravine]

Going for that rn

[glacial wind]

that seems to be the key to obscene peripheral spending guilt free

[polar girder]

Ahhh

[fluid ravine]

Gg
Dont got that life

[polar girder]

So smart

[prime orbit]

Why didn’t I think of that

Next time fasho

[fluid ravine]

Am I cooked

[prime orbit]

[polar girder]

There’s where’s I messed up

Yeah mb

[fluid ravine]

Am I just dumb?!

[prime orbit]

We all are

It’s okay

[fluid ravine]

Theres tim3 for me right

[glacial wind]

maybe if you launch and rugpull a few memecoins you can catch up

[cold bloom]

that's my plan i think

[glacial wind]

that seems to be the other trend these days

[cold bloom]

have the oring just waiting on more snap in stabs

and the leggera case to be listed...

[fluid ravine]

30a bakeneko o'ring waiting patiently after a whole year of not being used properly

[cold bloom]

I think mine is 50a

[fluid ravine]

Some cheap scape kid trying to cheat the system with the bounce

[cold bloom]

I have a 70a one also

[fluid ravine]

Smh

[fluid ravine]

Finna have a trampoline of a life time with this 30a after all this stuff typing experience

[cold bloom]

alu plates are so goated

I love alu

[cold bloom]

LMAO

[fluid ravine]

Never tried ALU but hell am I excited or what

[cold bloom]

It's my fave by far so far

I do really like cf too tho

[fluid ravine]

Fuk all the foams we running RAW

[cold bloom]

pp is nice but can be kinda annoying cause it's so soft

[fluid ravine]

No pun as of intended at this momento

[cold bloom]

Yurr

Abs key cap gang

[calm pulsar]

yuh

[fluid ravine]

[cold bloom]

I do wanna try the mode keycaps sometime

I think they're a blend

but they look nice

[fluid ravine]

Got a image or link?

[cold bloom]

https://modedesigns.com/products/tomorrow-keycaps

[fluid ravine]

I wunna see

[calm pulsar]

ohhh shi

love the design

[cold bloom]

they seem to have solid reviews from what I've seen but idk

https://modedesigns.com/products/obscura-keycaps

[fluid ravine]

Interesante

[cold bloom]

can't go wrong for 59$

[glacial wind]

very gmk oblivion-like

[cold bloom]

if they're said to be solid

[fluid ravine]

Holy shit obscura key caps 😭😭

[cold bloom]

yessir

they've been out for a minute

[fluid ravine]

Wob looking ahh

Is the legends white?

[calm pulsar]

this board is insane looking dam

[fluid ravine]

My eyes are blind af

[cold bloom]

yeah it's a mode board hhkb

it's got some really cool colour combo options

mode tempo I think?

[calm pulsar]

yeah

[cold bloom]

https://modedesigns.com/pages/tempo-landing

[fluid ravine]

Dave how much is the encore?

[calm pulsar]

tempo is mere 400 bucks💀

[cold bloom]

mine was 289$

but I think the copper bottoms ones were like 500+$

[fluid ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/broke-no-cash-gif-25565154

[cold bloom]

574$

lmfao

[fluid ravine]

[cold bloom]

or close

[fluid ravine]

Holy shit

[cold bloom]

I got this one

[glacial wind]

yeah copper bottom stuff from mode adds crazy amounts when you do it

[fluid ravine]

Honestly what can I expect at this point

It's looks amazing

[glacial wind]

but full copper bottom does look very cool

[cold bloom]

copper is pricey af esp with the size of the bottom on that board

[polar girder]

I’m so glad I only care about 60% lol

Even that tempting enough

[cold bloom]

60% is easily my fave layout

[fluid ravine]

Mhm

[cold bloom]

but 65% is growing on me

[polar girder]

Not me

[cold bloom]

lmaooo

[ionic breach]

tkl only baby

[calm pulsar]

I started with 65 but hell nah

[fluid ravine]

I never bought anything bigger than a 60 my w hole life

[cold bloom]

I love the way a nice WKL TKL board looks

[glacial wind]

full copper is sleek

[fluid ravine]

I have no idea what I'm missing out

[polar girder]

Lol

[ionic breach]

damn really?

[cold bloom]

there's nothing quite like it

[fluid ravine]

Yup

Always been a 60 day 1

[ionic breach]

any tkl is great for me

[cold bloom]

I think this is the best layout there is

[ionic breach]

arrow key designs and a block just for artisans?

[cold bloom]

but all preference obv

[ionic breach]

its just perfect

[cold bloom]

it's so balanced

[fluid ravine]

After a few months or a whole year after the Venom
Maybe I'll get a MX board of a different layout

[prime orbit]

Does the knight v3 stabs restock often?

[glacial wind]

it's winter and i price everything in snowboard trips, so a copper bottom is one 3 day snowboard trip in value. Not worth until I retire

[cold bloom]

LMAO

that's valid af

[polar girder]

Brand new

[fluid ravine]

At this point idgaf if my dad gets mad abt me having more than one keyboard

[glacial wind]

they've been restocking 2-3 times now locally, but it sells out in like 5 mins every time

[polar girder]

But v2 restocked seldom fwiw

For USA

[glacial wind]

brand new version means all the koreans are buying it up for awhile

[fluid ravine]

He said he wouldn't buy me more shit for it or one so ig I'll be doing this alone

[polar girder]

Lol

[prime orbit]

Yeah for me online the regular days it’s in stock but the black is out of stock unfortunately

I’ll keep checking daily then

[polar girder]

Why need more than one?

[prime orbit]

Ty!

More than what?

[fluid ravine]

What's new with v3?

[glacial wind]

just minor adjustments to the fit

[polar girder]

Not you sorry

[ionic breach]

better tolerances probably

[polar girder]

This

[glacial wind]

and the wire is now rounded more a bit

[prime orbit]

Ah ok

[polar girder]

Why?

[cold bloom]

Yeah I saw the photos showing the beveled wire end

geon does that too I think

[ionic breach]

oh ya, are balance wired worth it?

[cold bloom]

I think it just gives it less of a sharp corner to hit on when it rebounds

but idk

[ionic breach]

it feels like its pointless imo

[fluid ravine]

One MX and one HE
Like everyone they use MX for normal work and shi and HE for gaming. Or maybe in my case I'll switch depending on mood cus I know damn well I'll enjoy the venom build

[glacial wind]

generally not really since all good stabs come with prebalanced wires already

it's more for folks who are making a stab from scratch with like cherry stab or something

[fluid ravine]

Well depends if criminal still wants my wooting ofc, then it will be 1 HE board, if not then 2 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ionic breach]

i have no need for it ig

[glacial wind]

drakon you're just in time

the tmall ttc magneto white snake is restocking in 40 mins

[ionic breach]

no

[glacial wind]

you can buy some $1.40-$1.90 switches

[prime orbit]

Is that a new ttc?

Oh those are kinda cool

The top part is like circular?

What does that do

Compared to like the square

Or regular

[glacial wind]

nah the circular one is a different switch option

[prime orbit]

Ah ok

[ionic breach]

thats like

[glacial wind]

but honestly no one is really buying these besides collectors right now, since they're basically just ttc magneto pom but with minor changes to the rail system

[ionic breach]

a few hundred chicken nuggets

[prime orbit]

That’s the one that you said to get right?

[ionic breach]

worth of switches

[glacial wind]

the ttc magneto pom is what I use yeah

these ones are even crazier than the price i paid though lol

[cold bloom]

Any hackers out there wanna figure out how to flash the venom HE pcb with the wooting firmware

Hmm

[glacial wind]

that wouldn't work, different internals

[prime orbit]

Like more expensive?

Cuz that seems cheap for switches

[uneven cradle]

Those copper/brass Mode boards are too much, the neo60 cu though 👀

[glacial wind]

yeah you can get ttc magneto pom from anywhere at 0.90 cents to 1.10ish per switch on sales. These white snake magneto poms are $1.40 per switch at cheapest

[ionic breach]

its 2 bucks a switch

[cold bloom]

I know I was just imagining haha

Wooting software is so goated

[prime orbit]

2 bucks a switch 💀

Oh nvm

I read that wrong

$120 for switches is insane

😭😭

[glacial wind]

yeah you literally be buying another wooting for the price of 90 switches lol

[cold bloom]

Aren't Raws like 0.30$ a switch?

goated

[ionic breach]

when discounted

[fluid ravine]

. 48

[ionic breach]

but it happens so often

[cold bloom]

0.48 sorry

yeah

[glacial wind]

yeah raws are like 0.3 to 0.5ish depending on sales and region

this is the limited edition serial number version of the ttc white snake lol

that's $200 for 100 switches

[cold bloom]

how many is that for?

[ionic breach]

shoot me in the head (joke)

[cold bloom]

1390 yen is like 13$ CAD

[calm pulsar]

lmao

[glacial wind]

it's chinese yuan not yen

[cold bloom]

Ohh ok

[fallen pecan]

green snake koms are $120 for a 90pack, white snakes are $130

[cold bloom]

yeah 275 ish CAD

[glacial wind]

yeah the non serial versions are a bunch less since they're not 'og' serial numbered

[cold bloom]

LMFAO

[calm pulsar]

mahjong hifi sound huh?

never heard of it before

[cold bloom]

that's what gateron jades said when they came out

[glacial wind]

the crazy part is that aliexpress seller isn't even selling the limited edition versions

he's just upmarking the regular white snake ones from $130-140 to 180

[calm pulsar]

who buys that I ban them

[glacial wind]

lol

[fallen pecan]

ktek aquarius is also on the official store now, $0.32 apiece

[cold bloom]

https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/TTC-Chinese-Zodiac-Snake-keyswitch-high_1601368342388.html

idk how to figure out the cost from this listing

but interesting

[polar girder]

Tell me more. My wallet is open and ready.

[ionic breach]

a buck per switch?

[cold bloom]

Closed bottom @polar girder

[calm pulsar]

heat dissipation

[prime orbit]

So from what I heard the wooting peeps will just release an update to make the performance on par with the venom? Or is that wrong

[glacial wind]

see drakon. It's a good deal if you just buy 4000 of them at once

[polar girder]

Who what where

[cold bloom]

@polar girder

if you want 4000 switches for 1$

[glacial wind]

yeah to get 0.1rt in future

[cold bloom]

and 36$ shipping

[cold bloom]

if I'm reading this correctly

1$ per switch**

[ionic breach]

0.1mm actuation and firmware optimisations

[cold bloom]

so if you have 4000$ laying around

[glacial wind]

simon said wooting could technically do sub 0.1rt too but he doesn't know if he wants to add that in

[prime orbit]

Why would you not?

[cold bloom]

Or is it just 1$

I'm so confused by the alibaba listing

[glacial wind]

because it's not usable or stable on a lot of switches

[prime orbit]

Ah gotcha

[glacial wind]

you'd basically need to have the setting locked out to only some very stable bottom out switches

[cold bloom]

okay yeah it's 4000$

[glacial wind]

do it. Imagine the value

[cold bloom]

LMAO

no thanks

[glacial wind]

you can tell everyone you only paid $1 a switch

[cold bloom]

would just get these

450 for 120$

[glacial wind]

buy 4 packs of that to be safe

[cold bloom]

except imagine the fucking hand cramps

lubing 450 switches would legit kill me

[glacial wind]

yeah lubing the 90 ttc magneto pom already took ages because i had to lube the whole box stem and also fix up the weird lubing they did inside the bottom housing

was a whole day of lubing

[cold bloom]

yeah and cherry switches generally need a spring swap and filming also lmfao

I don't wanna do all that that many times

[polar girder]

[glacial wind]

someone please buy 90 of these and make an entire keyboard of only these keys

might have to be every second key because i don't think it even fits next to normal keys lol

[prime orbit]

I’m guessing maybe a handful can actually do it

[glacial wind]

yep it'll only be usable by a small handful of people and even for those not everyone will want rt that low necessarily

i do think it's something they should throw in there anyway just to see how people feel about it though

[prime orbit]

Gotcha

W

[frigid sierra]

Hey guys. My optimum case came in, but I don't think the keycaps quite match the color of the case, they're too light. Anyone know of any sets that would match the case better?

[calm heath]

is it possible to only buy a wooting 2 he like the 60he+ where nothing except the pcba and the extra layers? i completely plan on buying geon raw he switches and switching all the preinstall switches would be a hassle

[calm heath]

i think thats the point with the optimum keyboard, googling grey blank keycaps might help

[fossil panther]

Has anyone tried otemu magnetic switches on wooting?

Im a real fan of the lime v3 silent switches and want to know if the magnetic switches are also good

They are very cheap, so not sure.
They also have brown and blue versions

[uneven cradle]

there is unfortunately no module version of the Two HE that was something only introduced with the 60HE and 80HE

[jade storm]

Dave, what's your current build looking like?

[sacred elm]

its pretty easy to pull switches on 2he, you just need switch puller

[calm heath]

Ik but like idk if I should fork the 200 dollars or wait for a sale

[sacred elm]

there wont be any sale

maybe get 80he module and raws separately, with a numpad?

[calm heath]

Alright slightly niche problem

Rgb syncing and compatability.
Apparently the entirely of qmk firmware is completely incompatible with openrgb, unless there is a number pad that doesn't uses qmk. I mean I could go for a non rgb number pad but like ehh I rather explore all possibilities

[frigid sierra]

Thanks for the help, for anyone searching in the future I ended up buying the gmk dualshot 2. matches perfectly

[sacred elm]

you can get 2he but 80he is a better keyboard overall imo

[calm heath]

Aren't they the same keyboard just different format/size like the 60he?

[sacred elm]

not really

80he will have way better sound

also good thing is that you can order module

[calm heath]

With the stock lekkers?
Also 8k polling... damn

[sacred elm]

polling doesnt really matter, difference between 2he and 80he is probably like 2ms or so

[chilly mural]

8k polling doens't really matter unless you're an epic gamer, base ~2k scanrate with fancy rgb is nice tho

[little glen]

My gt-80 shipment got pushed to today

Now all i gotta do is wait until it arrives before i can go buy some modding supplies

[calm heath]

Uh, cerakeys v2 works with stock switches or should I just abandon going with ceramic keycaps

[sacred elm]

youll need heavier spring on spacebar

other keys should be fine with L60

[blazing temple]

Which pudding key caps work on 60he

[knotty iron]

Any should just work, as long as the spacebar is the standard 6.25u and has 61+ ANSI keys or 62+ ISO keys, depending on your layout

Stock keycaps are OEM profile

[little glen]

[high sphinx]

Wich case is this ?

[sacred elm]

did you order white

[flat cobalt]

My GT80 is in the states already

[fallen pecan]

not my pic

jade pro recolor

[flat cobalt]

The top housing has glitter :o?

[fallen pecan]

you bet

[flat cobalt]

They should have done it in black

I hate gateron

[fallen pecan]

this is the CNY edition hence the red

[flat cobalt]

Ohhhhh

So is it limited edition?

[fallen pecan]

no idea about that

[flat cobalt]

Thank you

[little glen]

Ok hardest challenge conquered (i put the rubber feet on correctly)

[flat cobalt]

I shouldn’t

[sacred elm]

dont

https://tenor.com/view/angry-thiago-mad-angry-fist-emoji-gif-17761307

[flat cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/kenobi-darth-vader-lightsaber-ignite-obi-wan-kenobi-gif-25837950

[sacred elm]

is it jade pro recolor or jade

[high sphinx]

Hey guys i just got my second venom pcb and this is how tye port look like does this seem normal ? The litrle golden parts on the black thingy ?

[flat cobalt]

Jade pro recolor

[calm pulsar]

damn that's cute

how do we know its jade pro

and not normal jade

[flat cobalt]

@fallen pecan

[flat cobalt]

Here

[calm pulsar]

oh I see

[flat cobalt]

Thocky sound!

[sacred elm]

https://tenor.com/view/mogo-mogozord-gif-10408330

[flat cobalt]

91$ for 90 switches

[fallen pecan]

gateron official on taobao is selling for $107 for 90pcs

[sacred elm]

[flat cobalt]

I won’t get them

[sacred elm]

hop on ttc snakes 190$ for 90 switches

[flat cobalt]

I already have regular Jade pros and the 3 sets of regular jades along with the raw he coming in

[chilly mural]

looks cool

[high sphinx]

@calm pulsar or @sacred elm what u think ?

[fallen pecan]

officially it's almost $1.2 apiece

[sacred elm]

no clue

[high sphinx]

Oh ok ty

[chilly mural]

switch price are getting insane

[sacred elm]

just dont wiggle it

[calm pulsar]

no idea tbh, its probably okay

[flat cobalt]

[high sphinx]

I did not even put an usb in it it is brand new out of the box

[high sphinx]

Ok ty it is brand new no usb has even touched it

[little glen]

my keyboard isnt lighting up

Did i plug in the jst cable wrong

ok yeah cable wasnt in all the way

that ones tricky

[flat cobalt]

Spooky

[little glen]

time to put the ghost case back together so i dont lose the screws

[flat cobalt]

Grill gang

[little glen]

i did a quick sound test but i suck at typing so dont get your hopes up

[flat cobalt]

How are you liking it compared to the plastic case

[little glen]

its really heavy in comparison

sound signature is a little brighter

[flat cobalt]

I can’t wait

[prime orbit]

Are the new pulsar keyboards good?

[little glen]

and i havent done anything else on it yet so

i want to try with poly fill and maybe a tape mod

[flat cobalt]

Keep us updated for sure

[little glen]

i should have done an updated sound test before disassembling my plastic case

cause the one i have now i just realised is old and the switches are not very broken in

pls dont judge my terrible typing speed 😭

i need to do something about my stabs but thatll have to wait until my venom gets here so i can do both at once

[flat cobalt]

What plate do you have

[little glen]

stock

[flat cobalt]

[little glen]

stock plate stock silicone and with the sticker on the back

oh yeah gmk caps

so abs

idk if i'm a huge fan of the higher typing angle but oh well

its ifne

fine

[tidal frigate]

Wooting layout should become new gaming keyboard layout

So we will have more cases

[little glen]

i honestly do really like the 80he layout

[tidal frigate]

Now imagine 80he in 400€ owlab case

[little glen]

case looks really good ngl

[chilly mural]

going to make $1k 80he build possible

[little glen]

ok lets do the math how much did my 80he cost

[flat cobalt]

Wait is owlabs making a case for the 80?

[little glen]

80he+raw switches+case+gmk caps(with international and novelty)

[tidal frigate]

If 60he owlab goes well

[flat cobalt]

[little glen]

i kinda wanna see more premium cases for 80he

this is really nice tho

and i like the diffused rgb strip

[tidal frigate]

Why they are wrong

[little glen]

whats wrong

[tidal frigate]

You mixed up them

[little glen]

what is them

what are you talking about

[tidal frigate]

Why your arrow row goes bottom to top instead of to to bottom

Isint it should be top to bottom

[little glen]

idk what you mean but these are correct like that

[tidal frigate]

Huh

They are supossed to be like that?

[fallen pecan]

yes your fingers arent angled upwards

[little glen]

this thing is so much heavier than the pcr case

hard to get used to i cant just throw it around my desk willy nilly anymore

[harsh dove]

Your arrow keys are normal btw

[little glen]

yeah ik

bro tried to make me feel insecure about my arrow keys

[harsh dove]

[little glen]

[harsh dove]

Also looks good

Is that ano gray or silver?

[little glen]

what do you think i should try in this thing

gray

[harsh dove]

TTC POM, Carbon Fiber Plate, Polyfill

[little glen]

poly fill and tapemod are easy for me cause i can just go to the city and get some rq

[harsh dove]

and yeah try tape mod if you want

[little glen]

ttc pom is a bit out of the price range atm

[harsh dove]

haha yeah I was kinda joking

raws or jades too

[little glen]

i need to save money for GPU

i have raws in here alr

[harsh dove]

what plate

[little glen]

stock

[harsh dove]

pc

[little glen]

yup

[harsh dove]

maybe get a new plate

[little glen]

yeah maybe

i'll do poly fill first cause that ones easy and cheap

[harsh dove]

then try tape mod and polyfill, those would be my recs

yeah

[little glen]

after i get my gpu and build my venom i'll think about the fr4 plate

[harsh dove]

[glacial wind]

they're okay. Software/firmware had some bugs last I heard with socd and such

[little glen]

i need to get a new dust cover

the one that came with the 80he wont work anymore

[prime orbit]

Gotcha. Yeah seems like pulsar is trying to get into the super comp scene. Their new mouse included. Waiting to see a 60% tho

[uneven cradle]

a nice sheet of cling wrap should do the trick

[glacial wind]

i mean we're kind of at the point with keyboards where you're not going to see any real 'leaps' anymore until someone comes up with an actual new big feature

[ionic breach]

duckwithgun

[chilly mural]

1 million scanrate

[ionic breach]

a school selling stickers for a competition im attending

[glacial wind]

like people are talking about 0.0001-0.0005 second differences in keyboards nowadays because they can't find actual things to talk about when it comes to performance

as far as I see it performance doesn't matter anymore and it's now more about consistency and feature set

[little glen]

i kinda feel like there could be a bit more dampening material between the top plate and the main housing of the case

but other than that i am very satisfied so far

[chilly mural]

very noice

[uneven cradle]

you sure about that

[glacial wind]

lol

[chilly mural]

idk what a full screen on a keyboard going to do with gaming

[glacial wind]

i just hope they don't do the one thing that could actually change the industry that would actually be dumb and broken

if they added an interface to allow actual cheat settings to be loaded onto keyboards, that would actually change the game - for the worse

[little glen]

100 hundo percent what they are thinking of

[chilly mural]

putting a raspberry pi onto the keyboard to make the input for you

[glacial wind]

i could see finalmouse doing that on some level because they're shady and don't care about the implications of that

like think socd, but for everything else

now we have macros of every type available

[chilly mural]

it'll be released soon, so we'll see

[uneven cradle]

a good way to get your keyboard banned at tournaments

[glacial wind]

if it's just a screen then no one will care beyond finalmouse kids since none of that matters

[tawdry tree]

They are not, in fact, good switches. Unless you really want tactile or clicky I wouldn’t recommend getting them as there are much cleaner sounding alternatives. They are indeed very cheap, so if you wanna try them, you can of course.

[fossil panther]

Are they even compatible, read somewhere that the magnetic switches polarity is flipped

[tawdry tree]

They are optimally compatible on the newer firmware of the 80HE. On the 60HE the resolution might be slightly lower so you won’t be able to set your actuation point beyond 3.2mm or so. It’s not an issue though and you can’t notice it.

[prime orbit]

If they do that bro 💀 finalmeme to the max

[little glen]

the 80he has a lot more flex in the gt-80 than in the stock pcr case

interesting

[tawdry tree]

🤔 and nothing else is different? Like the pet film or case foam?

[little glen]

no foam

film still on

[tawdry tree]

weird

maybe it clamps not as much

so it’s a bit looser

not sure what else could cause more flex

do you mind it?

[little glen]

probably

since it doesnt screw in

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[little glen]

i dont mind i think it may be good

[fallen pecan]

https://chosfox.com/collections/keyboard-kit/products/dg60-kit?variant=44884798603458

$68 gh60 case

[chilly mural]

mmm, also has a place for strap

Flame Red looks cool

[stone flax]

why buy this if can buy 4 dollar one

[fluid ravine]

Looking good

[fluid ravine]

What dafuq

Like why

[tropic urchin]

Strawberry Jade pros

[fluid ravine]

SOMEBODY SAID STRAWBERRIES

[tropic urchin]

I don’t get what Gateron is smoking to call them thocky but I’m scared

[terse lintel]

Everyone talks about Gateron

But what exactly is the gater on

[cyan lark]

It's gaters all the way down

[little glen]

Horse tranqualizers

[lapis stump]

hey yall whats been the quietest config for the wooting60he? i dk if theres a silent switch out yet but i currently have jades, but i still have the plat foam and silicone and other paddings

[little glen]

80he or 60he

[lapis stump]

60

[little glen]

There is no real quiet switch for HE yet

If you want to make your board more quiet add padding/foam etc

[lapis stump]

between the silicone and the black foam is one more sound dampening?

[little glen]

You have them both right

Just try both and see

You can also try friction mount or oring mount

[stone flax]

Here’s a sound test of them: #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[glass comet]

im thinking of getting geon raws which bottom force should i get

idk the difference

[little glen]

Its just how hard you need to push to lower the switch stem

Personal preference there

[stone flax]

heaviness

[glass comet]

im using jade pros rn which ones should i get

[little glen]

I hope 50g poly fill is enough

[terse lintel]

If you don't know just go for 50g

Most people are happy with that

[fluid ravine]

YOU KNOW I LOVE CLOUDSS ☁️

[little glen]

Lucky they had it at the shop

Didnt want to order online for a 3 euro item

Seems like a bit of a waste of the delivery guy‘s time

[fluid ravine]

~Indeed~
In need*

[little glen]

Anyway time to fill my keyboard with clouds once i‘m home

[fluid ravine]

Yay

☁️

[cyan lark]

50g of polyfil, that enough to fill a pillowcase?

[fluid ravine]

You see, after I bought one of these for my keyboard, the week after that day, I brung the whole damn thing to camp to use as my pillow

I did NOT want bring my pillow from home

Diy type shi right here

Cant buy a pillow? Just get polyfill, you will definitely sleep on clouds

[fluid ravine]

It takes 8-20 oz of polyfill to fill a pillow

[fluid ravine]

Me over here using that flimsy plastic cover for my optimum case

[little glen]

Ngl i should just get rid of all the dust on my desk that might help to start off with

[cyan lark]

That's just efficient use of resources 🧠

[fluid ravine]

[dark cypress]

my switches are here!!!

[fluid ravine]

[dark cypress]

[fluid ravine]

Hold on a minute, "001/100".
Is the Acrylic Leggera limited?

[little glen]

i did some sound tests with poly fill and main takeaway for me is that i need to fix my damn stabs

they're so rattly

please dont mind my terrible typing speed/accuracy

[ionic breach]

damn

is it going to be kr only?

since its only 100 anyways

[little glen]

also these recordings wontbe 1:1 since i did them a few hours apart and mic might be in a different position and i did also cut my nails in between but just to give a rough idea

[tawdry tree]

tf does “Le-tray Gasket Mount” mean?

[little glen]

french mounting system

[tawdry tree]

😂

[tropic urchin]

They gotta be taking the piss right 💀💀

[marsh saffron]

Baguette mount goes hard

[tawdry tree]

surely

[polar girder]

I believe the barometric pressure and ambient humidity had also changed a bit during that time after listening to the recordings.

🤓

[little glen]

i opened my window for a bit

but yeah small change overall but i do feel like its a little better

thinking whether i put some padding between the 2 pieces of the case

[kindred sandal]

anyone know the main difference between these two switches?

https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-magnetic-jade-pro-switch-set?VariantsId=10855

thanks

[polar girder]

Jade pro better.

Jade gaming not quite as good as Jade pro.

[sacred elm]

jade pros have better sound and feel, gaming has less stem wobble

[kindred sandal]

interesting

thanks Bigsly and shafie

was just wondering

I already have the Jade Pros coming in

[sacred elm]

w

[kindred sandal]

sucks that right after I bought and it shipped, Chinese New Year discount kicked in

[sacred elm]

theyre doing sales very often yea

[little glen]

cny discount right when my gt-80 arrives

[sacred elm]

time to order some jade pros wiz4rd for your gt

[little glen]

discounts on switches and cables

i need a cable for my venom

[sacred elm]

[little glen]

lots of good looking deals tbh

but i dont want to spend much more money

some of these numbers are wrong

god damn jade pros still super expensive with 20% discount

😭

[languid kestrel]

time for my mohtly visit: any silent/tactile HE switches yet?

[tawdry tree]

Nothing’s changed. AEBoards’ Raeds should be available next week from Oblo, if you’re from the EU.

[terse lintel]

My tired ass just thought you posted the twin towers for a second
