[cyan lark]

I'd recommend something more like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Keyboard-Replacement-Mechanical-Maintenance-Removing-Black/dp/B0CM7PHWW3?crid=12S24EOP25N1M&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.DzLt95A_vXMkhPb4uVAyMl0XnDxudRgD_WxPBIKLSr0f2E_NetCpF_F3n45TWBgQpxdOWTp1cGF4PL5bfd8hEEId5EhGvwcV4p5BNnz8x_Z5raW_scoh1qNFoT-RxW3iegGUxtdfvMYq-n-Gk7E6ktE-E7vdPacUuWJbLCvBB4KZ3RZhlN_fujwh5b_Q7hSj61869tsB3VRYZVc4FBXMgt36ZTsgxri3SkIEy03oVY4.fcC85YtOxDu0UgBEvqRnB0dldCboF8g89JdFpk-Lw7U&dib_tag=se&keywords=metal+switch+puller&qid=1737726360&sprefix=metal+switch+pulle%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-26&xpid=iYwozBc_cOGwN

[warped marsh]

this seems like the cheapest one but i wish there was somewhere local to the uk so i could get them faster

[cyan lark]

I mean you only have 3 to pull, so if you don't think you're gonna really need the tool again that'll do ya.

[warped marsh]

im talking abt the switches themselves now

[cyan lark]

What about them

[warped marsh]

is this the best place to buy them from

[cyan lark]

I dunno man

That's a high price though

More than $2 per switch

[warped marsh]

what price does it show for you

the geons show as cheaper but they have like £3 shipping

[warped marsh]

ig per switch its way cheaper to buy a like 70 set or smth but i just dont need many

[cyan lark]

Yeah probably buying so few they jack up the price

Normally for 70-90 they should go for < a buck each

[warped marsh]

ye that sounds about right

if i like them i might eventually buy a bigger set when i decide to order an 80he

just wish there was a tofu redux 80 case

[charred cobalt]

I got these things

Now I just gotta wait on my actual pcb

And I’ve also ordered switches

And the brass weight

Ngl idk where to place half of them

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[cyan lark]

It's a very popular case, I'd check on youtube for a build guide.

[cyan lark]

@tropic urchin just had my first springbar pop off unexpectedly. Sure glad I was using a nato strap 😨

[tropic urchin]

-50 aura for nato strap but jokes aside that’s scary 😅

When I first read it, it sounded like a 60HE strap came off and my first thought was “wouldn’t that be a positive?” Pays to read LMAO

[polar girder]

@silk hound dang bro I think this Magnius/Modius actually are footsteps worse

Looking in to Topping now

[cyan lark]

I figured you'd get it. Yeah it was scary, thing was flopping around. Also, watch it w/ the nato shade.

[tropic urchin]

I’m the same way with gshocks hehe, watch communities hate me for one simple trick

I am kind of a bracelet/leather extremist so I get it

I am kind of warming up to rubber but it depends on the watch for me

[cyan lark]

I like leather but my hands tend to do things that don't agree with it and I fuck 'em up quick. I keep a nice leather around for real fancy events, but I got my gshock for days I'm gonna be really filthy and nato for the everyday.

[tropic urchin]

I do kinda miss my steel, but I feel like it doesn’t accentuate the dial as much

[cyan lark]

Never tried a bracelet, would like to but for the same reasons as leather I have stayed away.

[tropic urchin]

Bracelet would be more durable, but would prob get scratched a bit

[cyan lark]

I fear scratches

[tropic urchin]

Yeah scratches suck

I have a few on the clasp and that shit makes me sad but it’s w/e

Apparently you can get silicon pads for laptop use which I wish I got before 😅

Kinda glad I don’t have a TT bracelet bc those scratches would make me wanna restart everything lmao

[cyan lark]

Who wore it better?

[tropic urchin]

Right side

Left side keys look too faded

[cyan lark]

Granted significant lighting difference, but fair enough

[visual ore]

Right side I thinkkkkkkkk

Maybe get another picture with the lighting fixed?

[cyan lark]

I’d have to swap green back in while the sun is out 😭

[visual ore]

xD

[stone flax]

rev dyesub

🤢

fanums tax

[cyan lark]

I’m more partial to blue but the green is definitely more interesting

[stone flax]

gradient keycaps 😳

[cyan lark]

Lighting

[visual ore]

Got any purple keycaps?

.Something about the color combo isn't clicking for me.

Just a personal opinion

[cyan lark]

No but if I did I’d certainly throw them in there

Purple was an rng color so I’m working with what I’ve got 😀

I could go wob which I’m sure would look alright

Haven’t tossed that in yet

[crimson sky]

still has gradients

[cyan lark]

It really doesn’t but 🤷

[visual ore]

Ahh I see

[main umbra]

ive got the wooting 60he (not 60HE+)= and ive chipped a bit of the corners of the stabilizers what would be the best upgrade or replacement for them?

[north radish]

what's the main difference between 40g and 50g geon raws? i've heard people say the 50g ones are much better, but in all of your opinions, which ones do you prefer from experience?

i ordered the 40gs

[lunar sand]

Were can we get that from? I'm also interested in that 🙂

[polar girder]

It’s just how easy the switch presses down

40g is lighter or easier to depress the switch

[gaunt plume]

If you can use Taobao, you can get it. But since it's Gateron, I think it will be released globally in the future.

[north radish]

yeah i understand, but like in terms of typing, it’s probably better to go with 50/60g, right? or wouldn’t it be too big of a difference since i won’t be gaming on it?

[visual ore]

Won't be too big a difference. I would personally go for 50g

It makes sense if you plan on typing a lot and for a long time

Also in terms of gaming that 60g sucks for the shift key

[cyan lark]

Sometimes you end up where you always knew you were going to

[visual ore]

Or really any game where you might want to hold down a key

[visual ore]

This looks good

Much better

[north radish]

i see, thanks for clarifying. i heard we can adjust the actuation points for each wooting profile, so i shouldn’t see too much of a difference since i can just tweak them, right?

[visual ore]

Uhhhhhh

Actuation point is different from spring weight

[north radish]

gotcha, but ill technically have to press more to register it

and wouldnt be a too much of a difference?

[visual ore]

You can tweak it but that really depends a lot on your typing habits

Do you bottom out a lot? Do you slam on your keys or light tiptop

Etc

[north radish]

somewhere in the middle probably

id say more towards tiptop though

[visual ore]

It also a point of what you want to keyboard to sound like in a way

Heavier spring might result in louder keyboard because it's hard to NOT bottom out when you're press against a spring etc.

Either way 50g is usually what most people like

And you can alway swap out the springs

[north radish]

got you, thanks for the clarification. they haven’t shipped out yet - should i try contacting support and go for the 50g ones instead, since i still have a shot?

(in your opinion)

[visual ore]

Up to you.

[cyan lark]

Do you have anything to compare it against? If you know the weight of your current switches and whether you like that or not is the only real way to know what you might prefer.

[north radish]

nah i don't, so i’ll probably just go with the most popular one in the middle and see whether it’s good or not

most people i’ve seen use 50g anyway

[polar girder]

Yeah it’s just preference

But most people don’t experiment and just do what’s popular online and then go tell everyone else that’s also the right thing to do even tho they actually haven’t tested it.

Respectfully

[dark cypress]

facts

[polar girder]

But yeah, if you’re not sure, 50g is a safe bet.

[dark cypress]

thats what i did

[tropic urchin]

If you have it already ordered I’d just stick to it and see if it’s too light, then just swap out the spring if it is

[dark cypress]

and im glad too bc i feel the 60g lekker v2 are a little heavy to press

[polar girder]

Yeah springs are easy and cheap to swap

[tropic urchin]

Ppl get a little too much fomo in this space, but the difference between 40-50g probably isn’t going to be a tremendous difference (might have more misinputs but that’s why you get to set your desired actuation)

[polar girder]

But objectively speaking 40g is definitely better /s

[tropic urchin]

I am curious to see if I can find some 40-45g 20mm springs for my pros

[polar girder]

I got some long two stage springs off AE but they’re kind of mid

[tropic urchin]

I may have to consult the great Oracle Arc for some help

[cyan lark]

I had been toying with the idea of doing the same to my KoMs. If you do, please let me know the results.

Off topic but holy shit someone on the PoE2 team has got to chill with the interactibles 🤢 (jk I love it keep it up)

[polar girder]

Yeah I too want the best longest lightest springs

lol damn

[tropic urchin]

When POE2 is more metal than D4

[polar girder]

PoE2 on my wishlist

[cyan lark]

It's so good. Best since D2(R) in my opinion.

[tropic urchin]

Honestly GGG would’ve cooked the life out of D4 compared to the 8,000 numpties over at actiblizz

[tropic urchin]

How does blizz let 45 New Zealanders outdo your own game 🤣

[cyan lark]

I mean who needs the Diablo name/branding anyway? They didn't even put Diablo in D4.

[tropic urchin]

WASD POE2 is honestly goated on HE

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s big reason of why I want it

That’s good to hear

[cyan lark]

Oh yeah wasd is incredible, especially for ranged

[polar girder]

I tried both D4 betas and played them a bit but click to move is pure AIDS

[tropic urchin]

Yeah.. I got used to it for a while, but now it’s just too good

Makes me nervous if I’ll wanna play LE again bc they don’t have WASD 😭

[polar girder]

Why HE goated for the WASD tho? The analog or what

[tropic urchin]

Nah just really fast and has a nice response

[polar girder]

Nice

[tropic urchin]

I have my shit at like 0.1 but it feels fun

[cyan lark]

Last Epoch?

[tropic urchin]

Ye

[cyan lark]

Ya got good taste

[tropic urchin]

I really like their gearing system where you combine a unique with a purple exalted item into legendary with absurd stats

[cyan lark]

I was about to go back to it when PoE2 EA dropped. I still might at some point, had a great time with it across multiple characters.

[tropic urchin]

I wanna go back when they launch more campaign but im eating dust rn waiting for it

[charred cobalt]

Ya but I’d love it if sm1 walked me through it

[analog mulch]

good afternoon, what would you guys say is the best keycap material? GMK? PBT? Dye sub, double shot? triple shot? im very noob at that so if you could explain to me thank you

[robust vale]

guys, anyone using the gateron jade pro switches? are they any different to the normal gateron jade on wootings original selfbuilt options?

[polar girder]

GMK is a producer. It’s mostly either PBT or ABS

dye sub and double shot are about how the legends are created

[analog mulch]

ok sorry for being ignorant, what would you say is thickerr pbt or abs?

[polar girder]

That’s not a material thing

That’s just a thickness thing

Can have thin or thick versions of both

Depending on producer

[sacred elm]

Yes, they have less wobble, cleaner sound

and 20mm spring

[analog mulch]

oh ok thank you

[robust vale]

oh thx

[polar girder]

Yeah like they’re just different plastics

So they have different traits but a lot of the other variable are about the mold and producer and all that

Like GMK keycaps are usually regarded as being the highest quality. They’re ABS and great legends and pay their workers and all sorts of quality and ethical stuff

But ABS is more prone to shine or shiny wear on the keycaps over time. But eventually with enough wear all plastic keycaps shine

But yeah there’s bunch of stuff on Google about the pros and cons to each one

Pretty personal preference really

[analog mulch]

ok, thanks for everything!

[stone flax]

pbt can be

[dark bough]

idk where to put this what does this mean on wootility?

@fluid ravine

[flat cobalt]

@sacred elm could have gotten my GT-80 today if FedEx wasn’t so stupid

[sacred elm]

lol, they hate you

[flat cobalt]

Literally so dumb

[cyan lark]

Do you have no case for your 80 at all, or are you swapping into it?

[flat cobalt]

Swapping into it from the plastic one

[cyan lark]

Oh nice, I hope you dig it!

[flat cobalt]

Same but now I gotta wait to see when they attempt to deliver it again

[tropic urchin]

Should be nice sounding, but the middle USB port is kinda cringe

Wanted to see if I wanted to join pre order batch 2 but it ruined it for me

[flat cobalt]

I just use a straight cable

[tropic urchin]

I use one too but it’s just a missed slam dunk 🥲

[dark cypress]

new keycaps😍

they looked more blue in picture online but lil rgb lighting should help

[barren wasp]

where did you get them

[dark cypress]

wuque studio

let me get you a link

https://shop.wuquestudio.com/products/amber-keycaps

[barren wasp]

89 bucks sheesh

they look good though

[dark cypress]

see how the teal option in picture looks diff in their pics lol

[harsh dove]

I think they still look good personally

and always expect keycaps to look diff in person vs pics

always

plus most pics are renders

[dark cypress]

yeah they do but still lol. ima see what rgb looks best on it...whenever the cf plate gets here lol

[tropic urchin]

@cyan lark the mad lad restocked more opal keycaps 😅

oh no

[polar girder]

Sometimes I lament the frog thinking there’s other cool cases out there but man it does have some nice substance

Not the most minimal for sure but I think I’m over it lol

Trying to FOMO cope rn nbd

[calm pulsar]

well a lot of people would love a frog mini, but they are rare these days

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m happy

Just tadpole mount vs other options im curious

But it’s cool lol

[calm pulsar]

yeah I'd love to try gummy oring mount lol

[polar girder]

Yeah fr

[fluid ravine]

Ay someone better spam ping me once the first 2 leggera cases come out
It's a threat and it's a must

[calm pulsar]

@fluid ravine test

[fluid ravine]

WHETE

[stone flax]

out

[fluid ravine]

[stone flax]

its been out

[fluid ravine]

Well internationally?

[stone flax]

No

:<

[fluid ravine]

:((

PLS GEONNNNN

BEFORE 2025 EVENT ENDSS PLEASEEEE

[polar girder]

You wish

[cyan lark]

The more you buy the more you save! You going in?

[tropic urchin]

i already put my fun money away for the next few weeks

void opal got me feeling some other way tho

[cyan lark]

I want you to have it but I get it

[tropic urchin]

That shit would go super hard with GMK cosmos

[polar girder]

lol fuck

Now I’m tempted

Yeah that’s hot

[dark cypress]

couldnt wait 😂😂

plus just in case i didnt like em

[tropic urchin]

Xenns IEM case 👀

[dark cypress]

yes the mangird tea pro

brown case is the kiwi orchestra lite

[tropic urchin]

I had the top until the left ear bud stopped working on me 🥲

[dark cypress]

ahh gotcha

tea pro are sensitive

[tropic urchin]

Was a sad day

[dark cypress]

moisture builds up around 4-5hrs of use

[tropic urchin]

Bc I loved the top tuning but now running the FA19s

[dark cypress]

ahh gotcha

[tropic urchin]

These things are like headphones as earbuds for volume loudness, legit crazy shit

[dark cypress]

yeah i dont turn my iems past like 60% volume

wayy too loud 😂

but the tuning on the tea pros is beautiful for gaming

i like how these keycaps feel 😍

[tropic urchin]

I have mine at like 20-30% on my DAC

[dark cypress]

ahh gotcha

my dac stays at 50

occasionally ill turn it up a lil bit

[cyan lark]

@tropic urchin Holy shit those opals are stunning, and you're right, they'd be a shoo-in for cosmos 🤤

[tropic urchin]

yeah as soon as I saw it I was like "fuck.."

just put my 5090 money away too tears

[cyan lark]

This is painful

What are you upgrading from again, 4090?

[tropic urchin]

oh fuck no

was just memeing I put away a couple gs in my index fund

so my fun money for the moment is tied up

[cyan lark]

Gotcha

[tropic urchin]

5090 is basically just 4090ti

would be the world's biggest sidegrade

[cyan lark]

Yeah sounds like about a 30% uplift from 4090?

[tropic urchin]

native is the same, but with their ai sofware you get a couple extra fake frames

already get decent in 4k, not complaining

[cyan lark]

Wha? No, raster isn't the same

[stone flax]

wtb 4090 - $550

[cyan lark]

Not worth dumping $2k, but I think it's around 30%, though I forget if that's specifically w/ raytracing stuffs

[tropic urchin]

there was a benchmark floating around the last few days

lemme find it

[olive yew]

Nah native is about 25-30% better. Honestly, it’s a decent jump considering the xx90 cards push the line of what can be done. My issue is they pulled an intel move by increasing TDP in line with the performance gains. Undervolting looks like it’s going to be popular to drop the power draw.

[cyan lark]

Yeah, it is a lot of power draw 😕

[olive yew]

If you game at 1440p, the 5090 is a pretty pointless upgrade though because the cpu is bottlenecked pretty bad.

[cyan lark]

Yes, 5090 would be overkill for 1440p

[tropic urchin]

and then the non founders cards are like $500 above what I paid for my strix card which is fucking hilarious to me

[olive yew]

I seen one review where they dropped it to like 400w and it only had a ~7% performance drop. Honestly, that’s not bad. And if you go for the suprim, you’re already getting ~5% better performance over the FE card.

[cyan lark]

Yup, AIBs are gonna be the only option for a while, and god help you if you have to get a scalped one. Probably gonna be >3k for a while

[olive yew]

Astral liquid is like $3k. Asus lost their minds

[tropic urchin]

yeah that shit was FUCKED

[olive yew]

Air cooled astral is $2800

Basically go for anything but Asus and you’ll be fine

[tropic urchin]

I got my OC 4090 white strix for a little over 2k and I didnt feel great getting it, now I feel like I made it out of 'Nam

gonna run this shit til it breaks at this point

if the only upgrades we're getting is software updates

[olive yew]

I’d like to see more power testing before the 30th to decide whether or not to pull the trigger. My 4080S FE provides some of the best FPS/W of anything out. If I can’t get good performance out of a 5090 undervolted, pulling around 400W, I ain’t getting it.

[cyan lark]

It's a shame how prohibitively expensive they are. At least the lower end ones are somewhat reasonable, but if things keep trending this way it could scare people back off of PC gaming 😕

At least for now, though, it's doing better than it has in a long time. Love to see that.

[tropic urchin]

if the GPUs dont do it the poorly optimized games will

[olive yew]

I have a feeling console is going a similar way. Ps5 pro was proof of that by making it $700 for minimal performance boosts…basically making some 30fps locked games run at 60fps. But they still run upscaling so it doesn’t matter.

[tropic urchin]

would be nice if they had some more competition so we'd get real shit for not bad prices, but $2k+ xxx90s is prob here to stay

[olive yew]

If consoles don’t turn into basically what the old steam machines were designed as in the next generation, I don’t see consoles competing anymore.

[tropic urchin]

I have a PS5 I dont even really use anymore since they started porting everyone and their mother excluding bloodborne to PC

[cyan lark]

I wanted one for a little bit until it became clear that almost every title was gonna be on PC at some point anyway

[olive yew]

I still have my series x and only run it to play with my best friend on games that aren’t crossplay and will use it for gta6 when that drops since it won’t come to pc for some time.

[cyan lark]

I think at this point the only title that I have any interest in that's still exclusive to it is the Demon's Souls remake

[tropic urchin]

yeah thats fair

[cyan lark]

Yeah consoles to bring together less technical friends/family is usually what I hear as the reason folks pick them up

[tropic urchin]

thats about the only real use case for em atm assuming thats not your only setup, I only booted up my PS5 last was to finish bloodborne since sony are a bunch of scum holding it hostage, but i have a feeling i'll boot up the good ol shad emulator at some point

[cyan lark]

That and Nintendo because, y'know, Nintendo

[olive yew]

They’re good for travel if you don’t want to lug around a pc (especially something like the series s). Also, if you use Gamepass they’re decent to have. I’ll be dropping Gamepass when mine expires in September though.

Steam is better imo and I’m really hoping steam os has mass adoption by then

Drop windows 11 completely if I can run external launchers and games that currently refuse Linux support

[cyan lark]

Steam deck tho. Can't do heavy hitters, but I use it when I travel for work and it works a treat.

[olive yew]

If you have an internet connection, you can. Just stream from home system with steam link.

[cyan lark]

True, but that lag wouldn't be too fun 🙂

[olive yew]

I run steam link with my phone and a flydigi Vader 4 controller and it works pretty well.

[olive yew]

Honestly the lag is almost nonexistent on a good network

Better than when I tried a free trial of GeForce now

[stone flax]

#tech-2

[polar girder]

just got two aces in one game on CS2

first time for me

[kind helm]

taste like boredom after i tried alu:3

works well with tofu redux though from what i can remember, the stiffer mount makes it less muted

[fluid ravine]

naice

[kind helm]

so many shapes happening at once

are the holes for wooting or venom though

[polar girder]

Thanks. Pretty hype. It was sick lol

KBDfans doing PP

now we’ve made it

Pretty clean

[fluid ravine]

oh fr?

yessss

[polar girder]

For that Optical case yeah they offering it

[fluid ravine]

oh isee

aint that case expensive

i forgot

[thorn zealot]

350

[fluid ravine]

yup-

[thorn zealot]

I also found out that chroma case works on venom

[fluid ravine]

oh i thought you couldn't cus of the daughterboard

[thorn zealot]

I just asked in their disc

And someone is running venom in chroma

[fluid ravine]

hmmm i see

[thorn zealot]

They just used a longer just cable

[fluid ravine]

ic

[thorn zealot]

I decided to not get salvation

[fluid ravine]

o?

[thorn zealot]

I think I prefer oring over spring

[fluid ravine]

what are you thinking now

ic

[thorn zealot]

So now chroma or bakeneko

[fluid ravine]

naaa leggera

jkjk your choice

mmmmmmmmmmm

[thorn zealot]

How much is leggera

[fluid ravine]

like about 95k won

so $66?

yeah just about around the 60's

for alu

[thorn zealot]

Only?

[fluid ravine]

mhm

[thorn zealot]

What mount

[fluid ravine]

Leggera T is tray mount and Leggera G is Gummy Mount

im planning to get G

[thorn zealot]

Nvm leggera g is wraps

[fluid ravine]

Pesante has both mounts, increased in typing angle of 8 degrees, and a massive difference in weight

[fluid ravine]

HAHA real

im plannign to get the silver color

Black and Silver are the first two colors that's gonna be out

geon did early release in their store in korea

[thorn zealot]

Not limited run right

[fluid ravine]

we as of right now don't know when he will release it for international

nop

maybe the acrylic i suppose

i aint sure cus i notice a small badge in one of the photos stating 001/100

[thorn zealot]

I pretend that isn’t there

[fluid ravine]

Leggera T is the top and Leggera G is bottom

well obv

T standing for tray and G for gummy

[thorn zealot]

I saw that venom works on brutal 60

Which is top mount

[fluid ravine]

tray has left usb port like any other GH60 but gummy is middle usb

[fluid ravine]

guessing you need a custom palte

plate

[thorn zealot]

Yeah I scraped that idea

Ig leggera chroma and bakeneko now

[fluid ravine]

im locking in with leggera

but pleaseeeee geon

[thorn zealot]

So wym by gummy mount

[fluid ravine]

release before 2025 event ends :((((

[fluid ravine]

?

[thorn zealot]

U said it’s a gummy mount

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[thorn zealot]

Like oring?

[fluid ravine]

yeah

that's what it's called

[thorn zealot]

Oh alr bet

[fluid ravine]

"Gummy O'ring Mount"

[thorn zealot]

Idk if there’s much a diff between all my case options

If they are all oring

[fluid ravine]

uh case quality ig

idk what the chroma is like

but assuming that it's the most expensive out of the 3, guessing that one has the best built quality

just a guess

Bakeneko is alright for all i know

leggera, dunno, but for it's price i think it's great

[thorn zealot]

It has like a full bottom copper/brass plate

With an accent

Chroma

[fluid ravine]

yeeee chroma best built then ig

otherwise

mounting points all the same

[thorn zealot]

I’ll just get leggera or chroma whenever I feel like it

[quasi hinge]

@kind helm just fyi

[flat cobalt]

https://prototypist.net/products/pre-order-gmk-cyl-cosmos-keycap-set

ilumkb and Deskhero also have it up for preorder

[calm pulsar]

it's quite cheaper in pounds

maybe it just doesnt include VAT

[prime orbit]

Out for delivery

Let’s go

[slim drift]

yo yall fuck with it?

[hushed lake]

Does the 80HE also work with the GATERON Jade Max or only with the Jade Pro?

[fallen pecan]

jade max works fine

[sacred elm]

yes but jade maxes are poop

[tropic urchin]

I made my decision last night to try the L45 spring pack

[hushed lake]

What switch would you recommend?

[sacred elm]

jade pros

[tropic urchin]

Jade pros imo are their best switch currently overall

if you only care about RGB Jade Maxes are fine

[hushed lake]

ok thank you

[tropic urchin]

but just not very smooth compared to Pros or RAWs for their price

[calm pulsar]

nah just get raws if you want bright rgbs

[kind helm]

just get raw

[tropic urchin]

granted it is on sale now but still

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

the crowd that only cares about RGB dont care about smoothness which is why I said it lmao

if you read down 1 message you'll see

[kind helm]

then it makes even less sense to get the more expensive jade max

[fallen pecan]

the only reason to get the max is the rgb

[hushed lake]

Don't really care about RGB that much, just want to get the best switch. Friend recommended me the Jade Pro. Just wanted to get input on the decision.

[kind helm]

the only reason to get the max is you didnt know better

[tropic urchin]

thank you for reading

[calm pulsar]

paying over 0.5$ more for a switch for 15% brighter rgb💀

[stone flax]

Consider raw he 👅

[kind helm]

as if wooting rgb is not bright enough, wait no they are already like flashbang at 100% brightness

[tropic urchin]

wont go wrong with either Pros or RAWs, but pros have a sale going on so they should be close pricing wise

[quasi hinge]

I second this

[hushed lake]

You mean the Geon RAWs right?

[tropic urchin]

yeah, you can find em on divinkey if you're US based

[calm pulsar]

don't forget HE cause there are mechanical raws as well

[tropic urchin]

https://divinikey.com/products/geon-raw-he-linear-switches looking for these

[hushed lake]

EU based, i take a look thanks

[cyan lark]

Nice! That’s the 14mm from Wooting, yeah?

[sacred elm]

Yes

[high sphinx]

@kind helm do you have a sound test from the salvation with alu plate ?

[tropic urchin]

I believe so, figured tryna find the magical 18-20mm spring on Ali is just gonna lead to disappointment having to pick from low quality springs

[cyan lark]

It's a known quantity, probably a good bet.

[kind helm]

this is salvation with jade pro + alu + double shot abs

my mic is kinda far away though. i haven't bothered to find a way to set it up closer to keyboard.

[high sphinx]

wow it sounds good imo what is ur opinion about the salvation ? ur spacebar sounds so equally everywhere i hope i can get that also because now with my tofu redux that is not the case

[kind helm]

sound like cope but board gets better over time, switches become more smooth once the inside is bit more wore out + lube in stab gets more even as you use it too i think

[high sphinx]

hmm i dont know but overall u like the salvation ?

[kind helm]

a bit loud for me the spacebar, planning on getting a pp plate later on and see

[high sphinx]

oh i see and with fr4 ?

[kind helm]

fr4 everything other than the spacebar becomes a bit too muted for me

[high sphinx]

oh ok i see do u also own a frog mini or not ?

[kind helm]

i think spacebar even sound has mainly to do with the mounting, if you do friction mount with no screw that would make it better

[kind helm]

nope

2 people that own both from what i know is mr cam and mr mj

[high sphinx]

yeah i have one screw on the right side only of my tofu for the grounding

yeah lots of people seem to prefer the frog mini i think

[kind helm]

i think salvation's mounting is a bit more stiff compare to frog. that is why i wanted to see if a softer plate works nicer with it

[high sphinx]

@kind helm like here in the right side the sound is like more clyngi to my ears but that light indeed due to the screw

[high sphinx]

Oh i see

[kind helm]

yee possible. spacebar still scares me. what i think helps are: gmk caps, the yikb stab, even mounting "pressure?", and more or less even lube(with yikb i barely use any lube, i think mr alexotos actually has a page where he recommends how you should lube/tone different stabs).

the screws securing the pcb with the plate would make the space bar sound a bit different but i dont think it changes the "evenness" of the sound.

[high sphinx]

This are knight v2 stabs and gmk evil dolch caps

So maybe just the screw on the right

[hasty vale]

Do geon raw come pre lubed?

[stone flax]

ya

[hasty vale]

Im assuming pretty doodoo

So i have to relube

[kind helm]

stock raw is gud raw

[sweet oak]

So…. raw?

[kind helm]

raw raw gud raw

RAWR

[amber comet]

these drop lotr keycaps are lovely

[stone flax]

assumption

[uneven cradle]

Probably the best lubed HE switches on the market out of the box

[kind helm]

👀 wait does it mean jade pro is worth lubing?

[uneven cradle]

I mean I still spring lubed my Geon Raw HEs

[kind helm]

yeee i think spring on raw can use a bit of love, but jade pro i didn't see any issue with it. that just got me wondering if i should lube jade pro since you said raw is the best :3

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m going to open up all my raws and lube up some stock springs and some pingless springs and see if I can tell a difference

Geon hopefully makes 20+mm pingless he springs at some point

[kind helm]

a tiny bit of ping with the stock raw spring imo :3

[calm pulsar]

lubing springs is always recommended on HE, the rest of the swich is usually lubed fine

[stone flax]

can we create scratchy he please

[mossy river]

quick review of the UR Studio Ice Max

uhh they feel good and sound good but dont get them cuz they are a bitch to pull out of the 80he (broke a pin on one of them trying to get it out, and the others required way too much force, half of which came open when pulled out)

closed bottom, and im pretty sure theyre only sold by kprepublic

[kind helm]

glue sand in the bottom housing?

[prime orbit]

[mossy river]

they have scary ass hooks on the sides of them

[polar girder]

I should have ordered these Rip

Been nice to compare to RAW

[calm pulsar]

I think someone already posted this, but this name is wild

[prime orbit]

Ye

Going from raw

To them

[calm pulsar]

sno did some tests on these

the wobble is worse

I think unless you are frankenswitching or just looking for a budget HE switch these arent super interesting

[polar girder]

Ok cool

Thanks

Yeah I just want the best HE rn

Over going for sound

[prime orbit]

Hmmm

Frankenswitch

Seems so long to do tho

Guess I could do it tho

[terse galleon]

Might be a dumb question but will there be a noticeable sound difference changing my default lekker switches to the jade pros? Or is it mainly stem stability?

[prime orbit]

BRO IM SO DONE

MY PC PLATE CRACKED AGAIN

Dawg

wtf

Is the point of a switch puller

If it sucks at pulling switches

[calm pulsar]

dense plate is the way

[prime orbit]

Dude this is my 3rd pc plate

3 diff switches

Like wtf

[calm pulsar]

they difference is quite big, cause jade pros are a closed bottom switch

so the feeling and sound will be a bit closer to conventional mechanical boards

[stone flax]

What

[prime orbit]

Every time I go to take out my switches

The plate cracks

This is annoying af

[marble hare]

dont use hammer

[terse galleon]

Oh awesome thank you 🙏 exactly what I'm looking for

[prime orbit]

I’m using the wooting switch puller.

[barren wasp]

what type of films for gateron jade pros?

[calm pulsar]

jade pros dont need them

[barren wasp]

wont it improve the sound or does it not justify spending hours to film

[calm pulsar]

films are for when the housings wobble with each other, jade pros dont have that

wont do anything for the sound and might mess up actuation and stuff

[barren wasp]

oh okay thanks for letting me know

[brisk vale]

Where does a man buy Geon Raw for EU without dealing with the insanely expensive import fees and dutys 👀

[fluid ravine]

We advise to avoid switch films for any HE switches ou there in the market. Switch films you find now are specifically made for MX switches, and as we know, HE switches have different molds size specification differences that can warp the films making it unusable or useless. It's also very fiddly during installation which makes it a waste of money and time. Like arcwyn said, it could potentially mess up the actuation due to the gap being increased by a few mm. Sound however, for all I remember from other old members doing research, it makes the top out sharper for HE switches so we wouldn't recommend this. @barren wasp

[prime orbit]

Goes in like this right?

[fluid ravine]

for north facing yes

window is on top, matching the led on the pcb

[prime orbit]

Ok

Ty

[fluid ravine]

yup

[prime orbit]

Almost done with my perfect build

[fluid ravine]

oh damnnnnnnn

jade pros arent bad

and yet they have the nuts to produce this image on their corporate website

[granite quest]

quick question for yall insane keyboard modders. Does the tape mod make the keyboard louder by a big margin or no?

[tawdry tree]

No biggie, the only things you missed out on are getting it early, getting a free switch pack and a lovely blue colored discord role. 😂😂 (joking)

[mossy river]

missed out on 4 switches ...

tragic

[tawdry tree]

From my experience, no. But it depends on other things as well.

[tropic urchin]

makes it a little quieter depending on how many layers you go, but I took mine off fully

[granite quest]

I switched to a poron pad from a silicone one

[kind helm]

imagine having roles

[tawdry tree]

That was the same for me. Other experience it getting slightly louder though.

[granite quest]

I want to try tape mod to see what it sounds like

[mossy river]

i need to add the lekker v1s to my collection before they go dry

[tawdry tree]

roleless 🔥🔥

[tropic urchin]

1-2 layers might give interesting results but more than that really mutes your shit a bit by like 10-15% from my current setup anyway

[tawdry tree]

If you want louder, poron won’t help you achieve that.

[granite quest]

Nah I want slightly lower volume

that's why I switched from silicone to poron

doesn't really make a difference tho

[granite quest]

I might buy some painters tape and try like 3 layers to see if I dig it or not

Or masking tape is better?

[cyan lark]

Easy and cheap to try, easy to reverse if you don't like it

[granite quest]

Or is it the same s*it

[kind helm]

think same thing

[cyan lark]

Painters tape is masking tape.

[granite quest]

Yeah in my country is the same shit but americans have 123123198058 tape types

[cyan lark]

Don't hate on us, we just love tape.

its just a giant jebait anyway

[granite quest]

y'all americans buy everything on amazon

[tropic urchin]

canadians too

[cyan lark]

I think it makes a difference, but as with all these mods it's up to you whether you like it or not.

[granite quest]

I just shipped my 9800x3d from amazon cuz it had a really good price no matter that the taxes where 200plus still better deal then in EU

[cyan lark]

Not hamburgers, we get those from Taco Bell

[granite quest]

I want to try hella fast food from USA

Bucket list to travel there one day

[cyan lark]

You're too late, it's expensive now.

[kind helm]

taco bell is ass btw

[granite quest]

Doesn't matter

Trip costs me like 7grand probably 15dollar in an out burger will not hurt me

[cyan lark]

Well well well, Mr. Moneybags over here

[tropic urchin]

5 guys is prob the place to try, i wouldnt waste time on taco bell and the likes

[cyan lark]

Get me a taco then while you're at it, daddy hungy

We have "Hesburger" here it's a danker version of McDonalds you would probably like it

[mossy river]

drained my account for ttc magneto rgbs on amazon

[granite quest]

Idk McDonalds burgers are dry as ...

[tropic urchin]

so maybe not oop

[granite quest]

you need to buy sauce on the side but I ain't spending a buck for sauce

[tropic urchin]

maybe you guys got real meat

ours is like might as well be fuckin taco bell paste

[kind helm]

go to hongkong if you want to try good mcdonald

their burger fucks

[granite quest]

Ur packages with "artificial flavored" is hella funny to me from EU

[cyan lark]

I hadn't gone to McDs in like 15 years until pretty recently. Cost a small fortune and was no better than I'd remembered it, which is to say it's fine if you're drunk or just incredibly hungry.

But yeah 5 guys is legit

[granite quest]

How much is 5guys burgers?

[cyan lark]

Costs even more but at least you're getting something decent to shove down your gullet

[kind helm]

good mcdonald malaysia and hongkong. china has some china special kfc.

[granite quest]

I can get a good burger from not a "fast food" chain restaurant for like 15 bucks

"real" everything

[tropic urchin]

$10-13 for a double ish maybe, quality is about as good as you’ll get

I usually get like a double and triple for the same price as what ppl get for large fries and shit so

[high quartz]

In the time I'm waiting for my NA-Beluga order, I bought a tester with all the Gateron HE switches, and the Geon HE Raws.

The Jade Pros are my preference by far. Smoothest, and the best sound

[mossy river]

head to texas cuz everythinbg there is so fucking massive and vast

im from massachusetts so its less large

[mossy river]

just curious, where did you buy it from?

[vapid leaf]

has anyone tried replacing the springs in their jade switches with longer springs?

im looking to keep the same activation force but increase the spring length for travel feel

[high quartz]

Gateron direct

[mossy river]

ce? https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-magnetic-switch-tester-with-sample-set

[mossy river]

there isnt really a standard for springs

and im not sure of any vendors who simply selll thjem

[high quartz]

That one. I just realized my message was ambiguous. I bought Geon HE Raws separately fro mthe tester

[tropic urchin]

id just get jade pros, tryna find longer ones are gonna be plagued by mid springs

[mossy river]

i personally like the long 22mm springs of the ttc magneto line

[vapid leaf]

that is what inspired the question, i got to try a friends ttc magneto switches and like the feel/sound better than my gateron jade gaming switches

figured changing the spring to 22mm would be a good middle gorund and not require a large investment

[mossy river]

the ohly place that sells the springs by themselves is geon, but theyre 15 mm long and probably dont fiit

[tawdry tree]

You can get 22mm springs off of Ali as well: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJTxuqU

Along with short (10 and 12mm) springs and 400g springs. :thumbsup:

[vapid leaf]

thank you!

[calm pulsar]

jade gaming spring is 20mm I believe, won't do much I think

unless there is also a big weight difference between them

[vapid leaf]

you sir are in fact right! chat GPT spit out 15mm when i asked it.....

[kind helm]

CHICHOO's keeb. hand lubed gateron orange 60g spring, brass plate, tray mount, silicone pad, tofu case foam

mr valorant champion 2024 btw, if i copy his config surly my aim is gonna be like him

[mossy river]

gateron oranges are mid

[tawdry tree]

20Us but not much better than 20s.

[untold wigeon]

does anyone know which ferrite beads work on the 60he

?

[vapid leaf]

does opening switches multiple times damage them?

[sacred elm]

no

[vapid leaf]

cool thank you

[polar girder]

Just going back to ifi zen dac for now.

Topping seems like the way to go tho.

[keen jackal]

Hello guys, I placed my first order but I might've missed the switch part, from what I've seen the v2 45s are better than default 60s? Is it possible to change it right now or they ship the keyboards with 60s only?

[stone flax]

did u buy a prebuilt or a module

60 or 80

[keen jackal]

Prebuilt

60

[stone flax]

ur getting lekker60 v1.5's

the big different to buying v2's would honeslty be more seen in the different spring weight

if ur going aftermarket springs might as well get something like

jade pros or raws

or koms/poms

unless u insist on open bottoms

[keen jackal]

I am very new to this whole keyboard stuff and I didn't plan to custom it really

[sacred elm]

only spring weight is the difference

[calm pulsar]

he's not getting v2s though on 60he

[keen jackal]

People were like it's definitely worth it to upgrade and all XD

[stone flax]

v1.5 to v2 is a marginal difference at best

tolerance wise

the most noticeable thing is the change in spring weight

[sacred elm]

v1.5 is basically v2. v2 has slightly adjusted magnet tolerances or something

difference is very small

[keen jackal]

I honestly have no idea about the springs and switches, I am currently using razer huntsman tkl

[calm pulsar]

well never tried them, I just know that v2s arent gateron anymore
1.5s are still gateron I believe?

[sacred elm]

No

[stone flax]

to the people who told you it would be a huge upgrade
no it isnt
just enjoy the board when it comes and then go from there

if u are still interested in getting new switches then take the preferences u formulate and upgrade from there

[sacred elm]

now upgrading to other switches like jade pros or geon raws, worth it. getting another lekker switches is not a very good idea.

[keen jackal]

hmm.. Since I am not planning to customise it with anything I was wondering if I were to buy the 45s would they ship it with it or something

[sacred elm]

because they are very mid, at best

[stone flax]

they will not build ur board with anything but lekker60 v1.5

[kind helm]

mjs way may sound too technical but probably bedt way to not waste your money

[keen jackal]

Aight

[keen jackal]

And I am guessing they are something we buy from somewhere else and custom on our own right?

[sacred elm]

Geon raws will be available in wooting store soon

but for now you have to buy them separately yes

[keen jackal]

One more thing, when it comes to these switches do you buy it for the whole keys or just for the keys you use the most? XD

idk like wasd

[sacred elm]

most get them for whole keyboard

but you can get for some keys too, to try them out

[keen jackal]

I see thank you, I'll not bother you guys with my rookie questions

Thanks for all the enlightment

[sacred elm]

All good, L60 will be good enough for you, if not there are other options in future and you can swap them anytime

[dark cypress]

they put up with all my questions lol. i think they can handle a few from you lol

😂

What mods are you currently looking or wanting to try as of right now?

[keen jackal]

the thing is I don't understand the reason for customising them, is it bad that you wanna replace everything and such

[sacred elm]

dw, its extremely easy. you cant really damage or break anything

[dark cypress]

especially with the youtube videos out there

[fluid ravine]

New people tend to worry or be scared about not trusting themselves thinking that they'll break their board but then really they could like try some mods that are super easy and affordable that they could do.

[quasi hinge]

Its not bad, its all personal preference.

I came from 4.0 distance switches to the Geon Raws 3.4 and love the shorter distance as I tend to bottom out my switches… helps in gaming too

Some people are obsessed with sound

[sacred elm]

you dont have to replace everything, for start replacing switches will be enough

[sacred elm]

because aftermarket switches are better than wooting stock switches

[stone flax]

hmm

hmmmm

[fluid ravine]

Mods are mainly used to fix a problem in a board or something they don't like about it.

[fluid ravine]

Ok mj ima just not say anything from now on

[keen jackal]

lol

[stone flax]

we do what we can because we can

[fluid ravine]

Mods are not a need thing to do

[fluid ravine]

Type shi type shi

[quasi hinge]

We do things not because they are easy but because they are hard lol

[fluid ravine]

[calm pulsar]

smh weirdo

[fluid ravine]

Literally

[sacred elm]

smh weirdo

[fluid ravine]

[calm pulsar]

I mean im listening to my jade knights in alu plate in frog mini rn

that explains it

[sacred elm]

[fluid ravine]

[sacred elm]

should I try polyfill on my 80he or its copium

[kind helm]

it works

[quasi hinge]

Dont let your dreams be dreams

[kind helm]

but basically you dont hear your case

[sacred elm]

I have plastic case, so I dont really want to hear it

rn i have pcr case, fr4 plate, jade pros

[calm pulsar]

I think polyfill is good at reducing hollowness, without adding the typical sound layering of foams

want to try it some day too

[sacred elm]

yea, but idk how much should I put

[calm pulsar]

@fluid ravine may have example pics for you

[sacred elm]

that will help

i dont really want to bend pcb or something because of too much polyfill

also there is daughterboard/jst cable inside 80he so its a bit tricky

[fluid ravine]

80he right?

[kind helm]

nah

its too soft to bend anything

[sacred elm]

ye

[fluid ravine]

i don't really know how much to put in a 80he case but you could just put a random amount that you think should be in the case and just send me a picture

ill see if it's alot or not

[sacred elm]

alright, thanks

[calm pulsar]

I guess try to just fill the air in the case up to the pcb

while keeping it like a cloud

so its not all cramped up in a layer

[kind helm]

there is a vid by keybored where he moded 80he as well, he used polyfill

[calm pulsar]

type shit xd

[kind helm]

so if you really want a example you can check him out

[calm pulsar]

oh thats cool

[sacred elm]

oh can you link that

[kind helm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NSQ8H2QkRw

[sacred elm]

thanks

[kind helm]

overrated on nicer case imo

[barren wasp]

What mod is best for reducing hollowness on 60he?

[kind helm]

brass weight

[sacred elm]

Ah I got it now

[calm pulsar]

yeah softer mounts might even benefit from having resonance in the case, makes it sound lively

[kind helm]

for me personally, if i have a hollow sounding board and there is no option to get like a brass weight (tofu redux without weight/ mr thackson's tofu clone) then i would probably cope with polyfill. but otherwise i just let it be

[covert hazel]

Has anyone had any success with spray painting the plastic 80HE case yet?

[kind helm]

@calm pulsar sir are you on venom's beta firmware or stable one? i am thinking of trying the beta one

because i remember mr gpster mentioned that you can turn off the cap rgb on the beta version

[calm pulsar]

hmm I think they added it to stable too? or maybe I read beta patchnotes

[stone flax]

but iu

I LOVE RGB

[calm pulsar]

it's more like W

for capslock led

[kind helm]

thing light up when i toggle walk in game, breaks my immersion

[calm pulsar]

same for me in eft but idc

when I do a build with ttc pom gotta update my firmware

[stone flax]

how am i supposed to be indicated as to when caps lock is on?

T-T

[calm pulsar]

JUST TYPE AND YOULL SEE

[kind helm]

i gonna go through gpster's chat history to see i can't find the setting at least

[stone flax]

OH OK

[kind helm]

exactly what i was gonna say xD

[uneven cradle]

There's been a few

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1294406267997126786

Was also this one which was given away #💬│general message

[kind helm]

think its beta only

and its not a setting with brightness, i just set it to black

[kind helm]

damn those are beautiful

[calm pulsar]

ohh wait so there are colors?

always thought it was white only

[sacred elm]

btw can I use cotton instead of polyfill ?

[kind helm]

its gonna sound deeper than polyfill

[sacred elm]

I just checked and I dont have polyfill

shit

but I have cotton

[sacred elm]

will it have same effect as polyfill for hollowness

[kind helm]

yea

[sacred elm]

ill try cotton i guess

[kind helm]

embrace the thock

[sacred elm]

should I remove stock foam

or put cotton on top of foam

actually nvm i dont want my shit to be thocking

[sweet oak]

Thock tuah

[sacred elm]

[fluid ravine]

Remove

[sacred elm]

aight

[gaunt plume]

bought it

[fluid ravine]

I think remove just a lil bit from the middle

It's cotton right?

[sacred elm]

yes

[fluid ravine]

Cus for polyfill I would considered that being packed

So maybe just remove a little bit from the whiter areas

[sacred elm]

made it thinner

[fluid ravine]

Yeah sure that works

[kind helm]

thank you for your service sir

[stone flax]

a sheep died for this

💔

[sacred elm]

No it didnt, because you dont get cotton from sheep

[stone flax]

mb bro, a goat

[sacred elm]

I went back to stock foam

[kind helm]

why :3
