[thorn zealot]

and also they get fucking disgusting real quick

[night atlas]

Do you think the diffuser will affect the overall sound, even if its just a little

[harsh dove]

Nah

[dark cypress]

yeah but one pair will last like 4 weeks and then just change em

[tropic urchin]

the semi stiff one was the velvet one you mentioned to me a while back

they were interesting

[night atlas]

If its anything like the raws, it looks like it adds a lil more structure, therefore dampening(albeit very little) the switch right

[thorn zealot]

they rubber tho

just rly soft

[tropic urchin]

interesting they felt like they were kind of a stiff foam to me

had an interesting texture

[thorn zealot]

thats velvets for u

[tropic urchin]

kinda liked them but the ML dont fit my ears too well so prob need something smaller

[harsh dove]

The Raw diffuser is a bit bigger but I don't think it changes sound enough to really be noticeable

[thorn zealot]

yeah i went from ms to s on my velvets

[harsh dove]

Least not in a way where it's like, "omg guys take out your diffuser for that god tier switch sound"

[night atlas]

Word

Probs will keep em in, was just curious

[harsh dove]

Yeah I just find them annoying when pulling out switches

and/or lubing

[night atlas]

Now… entertain this… what if someone made silicone inserts for the raws specifically LOL

[harsh dove]

like a silicone diffuser?

[night atlas]

Yea

[silver nest]

yall got any other hobbies not in the tech sphere?

[night atlas]

In place of the clear one that raws and ttc have

[harsh dove]

I could see it tbh

[night atlas]

Too many man

[thorn zealot]

balis

[silver nest]

im really into cars

i fuccin love porsches

[tidal frigate]

Hotwheels

[candid spoke]

W

[tidal frigate]

930 turbo is best

[silver nest]

i wanted to get into them but the good ones are really expensive

[night atlas]

Wish i was into cars… maybe i could figure out why my fuckin 05 accord key fob doesn’t work after a battery change

I can change a tire tho lmao

[silver nest]

i really like the 993 last air cooled 911

[kindred bolt]

reprogram the fob, lots of fobs don't have a saved memory of the car it's linked to

[night atlas]

Oh yea i saw that, gotta try it

So far it looks like a PlayStation code lol

Gotta press all these sequences super fast

Thank ya for reminding me

[silver nest]

check marketplace or craigslist people can do it for you

[kindred bolt]

^ though it should be pretty easy to pair the fob. fair amount of cars don't require a console or anything fancy

[night atlas]

Gotcha, ill try it myself, if not ill head to the dealership

[silver nest]

saw this beauty at a local timmies

[kindred bolt]

Are links allowed in this chat?

[night atlas]

Thats definitely a car if ive ever seen one

[calm pulsar]

a car of all times

[silver nest]

the plate bracket is wild tho

[night atlas]

My goat

Thank you

[tropic urchin]

I think it completes the look

[silver nest]

it does lol

[tropic urchin]

You don’t notice it at first but when you do, I think I’d appreciate it less if it didn’t have it which is crazy to type

The hustle is what sells it

[silver nest]

haha yeah

[tidal frigate]

What do you think about audi x porsche car i think it is pretty cool

[candid spoke]

Woah you Canadian?

[night atlas]

Can stab poron pads be a reason for my stabs ticking?

They're tuned and lubed

Is screwing them tightly a potential cause? @kind helm

[kind helm]

i dont think so

[thorn zealot]

did u straighten em and everything

[night atlas]

yea

isnt that what tuning is

[thorn zealot]

yeah but that is the main thing most ppl forget to do

[night atlas]

did the whole thing where you place em on a flat surface (phone screen) and tapped on the sides while holding down the opposite corner

yea thats what i meant when I said that they're tuned hah

[thorn zealot]

yeah idk man

u prob cookec

[kind helm]

this price is amazing, if the pcb is actually included

[night atlas]

😂 thanks ig

[sacred elm]

it comes with amazing warranty too

[kind helm]

can you do like a small sound test? maybe it is not really ticking

[thorn zealot]

i just tried it in a cart and checkout and i think that is final price

[kind helm]

also one possible cause for messy sound spacebar is the key cap not pressed down all the way

[thorn zealot]

with pcb

[kind helm]

nice

[night atlas]

i can't do a sound test atm, but it is most def ticking lol, i've had stabs tick before and the sound is unmistakeable

[kind helm]

i was looking at tiger lite because my friend wanted to get a custom board

[night atlas]

what do you mean that maybe it's not ticking?

[kind helm]

unlucky

[night atlas]

like are u asking if it's in my head LMAO

[kind helm]

maybe the ticking sound is not coming from the stab

[night atlas]

oh, where else would it be coming from? the switch itself isn't ticking

it also ticks when lightly touched and not pressed

like any other ticking stab

[kind helm]

well with my salvation for example, i had a time where the little foam thingy fell out of the leaf spring, when i was typing on the board it had a weird sound that is out of place

maybe a shitty example but you know that is kinda a possibility since your stab is tuned

[calm pulsar]

that's great for a barebones TKL HE

[chilly mural]

yeah, it's very nice. Still waiting for it to be shipped

[kind helm]

you got one?

[chilly mural]

yep

[kind helm]

nice

[chilly mural]

gonna use lekker since I want my sister to be quiet while gaming

[thorn zealot]

they are not gonna be quiet enough

[chilly mural]

quieter than geon raw at least

[kind helm]

beautiful, and since its plastic case it is easy to move around too for people who doesn't care about keyboard that much

[thorn zealot]

ig

[sacred elm]

theyre not silent

fake ahh silent switches

[glacial wind]

Hrm finalmouse says 24 weeks to delivery

What’s the over/under on adding 3 months to that

[quasi hinge]

Is it really worth the wait

[marsh saffron]

No

[calm pulsar]

I don't get why someone would want to wait so much just to get a gimmicky screen on the keyboard and get bored of it after some time

and also the questionable everything else, keycaps, switches, performance, software

[pseudo flax]

hello, anyone tried this one?

[fluid ravine]

that is some weird standoff layouts..

[glacial wind]

No lol

It’s a gimmick and I’m not even sure the screen will look nice when you’re not looking it at directly from above

basically just tons of compromises to get the screen in there and they’re nowhere near figuring out the technology still

[chilly mural]

Over!

Since wooting also have extra wait

[pseudo flax]

not good brother?

[glacial wind]

I’m expecting this issue with the finalmouse keycaps because the keycaps while transparent are not 100% invisible

[fluid ravine]

Well it says it compatible, the standoffs that are needed for the wooting is there so i suppose it is. It just seems odd because there's extra standoffs for other type of PCBs which is listed on the bottom of the screen shot

[glacial wind]

You better be looking at it really close from the top to enjoy your lcd screen effects lol

[chilly mural]

I feel like you better off getting a second small 21:9 monitor, at least you can put discord thhere

[sacred elm]

yea that keyboard is ass, idk what finalboy is talking about when he says "this kb will destroy wooting and whole market"

lol

[fluid ravine]

i've been seeing "Wooting destroyer" keyboards on my yt fyp lately

wonder what's all that about

[pseudo flax]

ty for this brother

[polar girder]

Clicks and views lol

[sacred elm]

did you know it has cpu and gpu

[fluid ravine]

im like avoiding it cus i dont wanna waste my time in a way

haha

[sacred elm]

lmfao

[fluid ravine]

clickbait clickbait!

[sacred elm]

cpu, gpu and 32gb storage

💀

[fluid ravine]

wait woa woa

wtf is this???

[sacred elm]

yea idk

lmao

[fluid ravine]

finalmouse making a keyboard?????

💀

[sacred elm]

Yes

[fluid ravine]

where's finalkeyboard?

wha zeh fak

[sacred elm]

here

350$

[polar girder]

It’s like an integrated keycap/switch/PCB type thing lol

[fluid ravine]

nah WTF

[sacred elm]

you can see how every key wobbles in the video

[harsh dove]

that keyboard belongs on a shelf

[polar girder]

Plugged in tho

[harsh dove]

yeah

of course plugged in

[sacred elm]

350$ keyboard with a screen on it, built in cpu,gpu and storage 💀

no thanks

[fluid ravine]

Nah that shit finna cost more than my venom build 💀

dude wtf a mini pc in a keyboard?

💀

didn't know we needed a portable AIO pc setup on one peripheral hardware

out of all things

a Keyboard

[sacred elm]

I actually believe it will be disaster

L product

[fluid ravine]

we have something called a laptop

it has an included speaker

something that keyboard dont have

where's the camera

[sacred elm]

sound:0:7

[fluid ravine]

Should I lube my batch of new batch of raws for my venom build

just go all out on the new build

[sacred elm]

do you have geon pingless springs thackson?

[fluid ravine]

no 😭

[sacred elm]

im gonna try it

[fluid ravine]

ah ok

kinda funny how some of the boys that bought the geon pingless springs still lubed them

ay my bish ass would too

silent springs

[sacred elm]

im gonna lube too

[fluid ravine]

can you try like three switches with the pingless springs stock?

and see how they are

[sacred elm]

yep

[fluid ravine]

bet

you ordered the springs already or you have em rn?

[sacred elm]

im gonna order soon

[fluid ravine]

ah ok

ughhhh

no leggera before 2025 event end :*(

[tropic estuary]

does anyone know of some good sounding Stabs for 60he+ module?

[sacred elm]

stock

[fluid ravine]

Just tune your stabs

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

[fluid ravine]

I can't wait to use PCB mounted stabs ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

get me off plate mount

[tropic estuary]

thanks much

[fluid ravine]

np

Like I'm using my TX AP plate mount housings with TX AP LP stems and lubed them all up

and hell spacebar still sounds like shit

like the plate mount clips aren't doing it's job

it's still fiddly with the plate when the spacebar is moving up and down

got my TX AP clip ins housing and stem prepped and lubed up :)

[sacred elm]

which stabs are you getting

[fluid ravine]

On my venom I'll be using L shift, Enter, and spacebar cus im using 7U with split backspace.
For L shift and Enter I'll be using Typeplus YIKB stabs
For my spacebar I'll be using TX AP Long Pole Clip Ins for Gummy Mount compatibility

[sacred elm]

ah

[fluid ravine]

Also managed to figure out how to get a glob of krytox on the Lube Pen to spread along the wires

[sacred elm]

im using stock 80he stabs and theyre a bit sad rn, need to tune them

[unkempt pond]

can someone recommend black/purple/white keycaps to get for my two he? cant seem to find any nice ones. price is not a issue.

[ionic breach]

scroll thru keykobo

recall theres a few nice ones

[unkempt pond]

they deliver to eu fine?

[ionic breach]

then just ignore what i said

search by vendors llocation

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[unkempt pond]

ok ty ❤️ im new to this keyboard thing and i dont wanna waste my money on bad quality keycaps XD

[fluid ravine]

Now i think about it, if I knew about how the Lube pen worked, I shouldve replaced the Geon Brush that i ordered with springs instead

[night atlas]

@fluid ravine https://a.co/d/8Obybfi

gonna try these for my lube lol

similar mechanism

unfortunately not reusable, fortunately it’s like 5 bucks

[vagrant laurel]

how can I add basic characters like "/" or "(" to remap keys on wootility?
It worked in the past but I can't find those anymore

[uneven cradle]

whatever key it's binded to in your OS keyboard

either a shift layer or alt gr layer

im guessing shift+7 and shift+8

[vagrant laurel]

Can I not add the character without having to press shift

It would be shift 7 for me but that doesn't seem to work

so i wanted to try addding it directly to a specific key

[kind helm]

[chilly mural]

waow, venom65HE

[kind helm]

just started

was gonna go to bed, guess i can stay awake for a bit longer

[chilly mural]

lmao

[calm pulsar]

f1-40 is so cute

[calm pulsar]

I wonder if he's even going to show it

what if he just talks about it lol

[kind helm]

i am hoping he build a board or something with it :3

the switch he showed seems to be a mx switch

[calm pulsar]

yeah I guess its from the title

[kind helm]

i need new, good, well priced he switch

[chilly mural]

TTC level switch for $0.5 pls

[heavy escarp]

does anyone know if there is a black plate for the 60 he? ive been looking around and unable to find one

[little glen]

Alu plate, fr4 and cf should all be black (at least most of the time)

Do keep in mind that black plate will have worse rgb performance than white plate

[mystic quest]

i tried the phoenix silents

stay away from them

they are rly unstable

i put them into the HM80 but im pretty sure result would be the same with my 80HE

[blazing isle]

is there a better coiled cable for the wooting 60he other than the one on the wooting website, not tryna spend $78 AUD on a cable

[fallen pecan]

check out the ktek aquarius switch, they're a cut down(and not pom) pom kom from the looks of it, $0.32 apiece

[mystic quest]

try the epomaker coiled cable

they have alot of different colors too

[chilly mural]

Venom 65, seems to be 6.25u spacebar only.

Prop gonna be specced the same as venom 60he (just guessing since idk Korean). So, fast.

Its bakl

[sacred elm]

Nice

probably it will have 2 day warranty

[worldly phoenix]

Anyone have recommendations for switches if I m thinking of buying wooting 80he

[sacred elm]

jade pro

[chilly mural]

I wonder when HE numpad will come around

[worldly phoenix]

These?

[sacred elm]

Yes

[sacred elm]

Its cheaper on official site https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-magnetic-jade-pro-switch-set?srsltid=AfmBOoqLRQZ0vdGV89cWPpWhG1Z4omfzIqgtoquEmHRilQPFXQwqxzxm&VariantsId=10855

[summer field]

heyh guys, what are these 2 buttons?

[worldly phoenix]

Alright thanks

[tropic urchin]

They’re having a 20% off sale on their official site

[chilly mural]

The cny special

[fallen pecan]

korean and japanese IME toggle

[tropic urchin]

Kinda wish the jade ruby was an improvement but looks like they just added thock to push it over the jade max pricing which is super cringe

[summer field]

ohhh I see, how do you use them? can you use them without having to change window's language?

[tropic urchin]

Lateron

[fallen pecan]

i just use shift+alt to change input languages (if you have multiple set up)

[summer field]

yeah but that's in windows. I used to do that, but last time they got bugged and nothing but a windows reinstallation could fix it, so I wouldn't want to use those... it would be pretty handy if that one button could switch me to japanese without having to install the language in windows

[fallen pecan]

ime is also a windows thing iirc

[worldly phoenix]

Idk for me on Amazon it cheaper

[summer field]

oh ok... then I guess that button isn't all that useful?

[worldly phoenix]

I m guessing that there no cases for wooting 80he from other websites right

[left depot]

there are actually, example https://kbdfans.com/collections/gt-80

[tropic urchin]

Even better, go with what’s cheaper for you 🙂

[summer field]

oh and one more question... on my old keyboard, the Anne Pro 2, I could use the buttons to change the brightness of the screens, and it would show me to brightness bars, one from the software and one from windows. Now with the wooting I can still see the window's brightness bar appear, but the brightness stays the same... what can I do about it?

[tropic urchin]

Gt80 might also take a while for anyone interested, think batch 2 is coming out in May (assuming it hasn’t sold out)

[worldly phoenix]

What a daughterboard

[fallen pecan]

this is a daughterboard

[worldly phoenix]

Do I need it for the wooting 80he?

[tropic urchin]

Wooting case comes with it, if you want a GT80 you’ll need to buy a plastic case and swap the DB over

[cyan lark]

You can add one for a few bucks if you pick up a GT-80 and don't have one

[quiet gale]

are they planning to make a 8k hz wooting 60he version?

[cyan lark]

Nothing to that effect has been announced

[quiet gale]

;c

[tropic urchin]

Maybe it’s bc it’s HE, but I noticed a ‘slightly’ faster response with 8K polling on my huntsman v2 TKL than with my 80HE if I’m being honest.

Both 1k and 8k feel very similar

Not missing much @quiet gale

[tropic urchin]

Module is kinda fun to put together once it arrives 🔥

[chilly mural]

just like lego

[cyan lark]

And just as expensive 🙂

[chilly mural]

depends, I mean, large lego is expensive

[cyan lark]

I unfortunately know, there's a room in my home full of them T_T

[fluid ravine]

Oh shit!

Bakeneko65?

[cyan lark]

Which case are you getting?

[chilly mural]

if you purchase a case from wooting, it already includes them

[cyan lark]

The answer is yes you need one, but ^

If you're getting gt-80 you have to add it on

60he does not need a daughterboard

Only 80HE

[worldly phoenix]

Is it worth paying 130 for gt-80?

I m not sure if I should just run the plastic case or get a gt-80

I only bought the case cus the batch takes until May

[chilly mural]

really itching to buy one ngl.

[cyan lark]

Yeah the USB controller/port are built right into the mainboard on the 60he

[cyan lark]

Try the plastic case you bought and see if you like it?

[tropic urchin]

For me it would be since I don’t like plastic cases, but you’ll probably have it for a while, while you wait for the GT batch 2

[twilit plaza]

can i use durock v2 for 60he+ module?

[ionic breach]

beni making me question things

[ionic breach]

yea

i believe they are

[glass moss]

Hello, I have a keyboard in ISO French, and I would like to get PBT keycaps. I can't find any—could you help me find some? Thank you!

[marsh saffron]

Wait until you see the qc issues 🤷

Also the centerpiece is their first product that's priced somewhat fairly

Credit where credit is due, I was expecting a 500$ price tag

[ionic breach]

its also the first product they have to do actual work on software

[glacial wind]

Starting at $349. I’m curious if there’s pricier options

[ionic breach]

im really interested in this

[ionic breach]

ya i believe they have extras accesories

also if it will be faster than a venom

[glacial wind]

I was mostly disappointed but not surprised that their demo video was mostly cgi stuff

[marsh saffron]

Pre orders for code holders yeah

I think the open pre order is tomorrow

[glacial wind]

Seems they aren’t anywhere close to actual product yet, which makes me think it’s still far from delivering their promises

[marsh saffron]

I've already seen 5 people scammed out of codes...

Finalmouse fan boys are beyond me

[marsh saffron]

Shipping estimate is like July

But i bet it'll be delayed

[glacial wind]

Yeah but I think July is finalmouse date

So it means add at least 3 months to that if not more

[marsh saffron]

Yeah that's what I'm guessing

[glacial wind]

they’re always just take money then worry about actually making the product later, then give another 6 months after delivery before half the features work

[marsh saffron]

I'm excited to see how they do qc wise

There is a lot to go wrong with the centerpiece

And it's entirely proprietary too

Aside from spring swapping ofc..

[glacial wind]

Like with their current mouse it took a long time to get actual full promised features online

[marsh saffron]

And qc is still not good😭

Also continuous production btw

[glacial wind]

launch version was very basic and no 8k etc

then they finished up the software over time and by a year later they have the actual product that was promised

[marsh saffron]

The repair channel says otherwise

[glacial wind]

Yeah that’s the problem. It took a year to even get to this point

[marsh saffron]

And it's still mid

Lots of people with shitty shells, scroll issues, doubleclick/grinding clicks

[ionic breach]

and you have to admit a keyboard with analog is much harder

this will be cool to see

[marsh saffron]

Yeah they have their work set out for them if they actually want to do decent on qc

[glacial wind]

they always just list out everything they think people want to hear then worry about actually delivering on that later

[marsh saffron]

Yes but it's finalmouse

[glacial wind]

I think eventually they’ll have the centerpiece that was promised but it’ll be next year by the time it’s what they promised

[marsh saffron]

Its not just first batches though

Ulxs still have qc issues

[glacial wind]

First year you mean. How long did they take to get the promised software features and 8k on ulx

[marsh saffron]

It took them how many starlight variants to get one with decent qc?

From everyone i talked to the tenz starlight was the only one with decent qc. And it was like one of if not the last starlight they did?

Dawg I've seen gaps in the shell from the latest batch that are huge

And the scroll wheel and grindy clicks

[glacial wind]

I don’t care much about the qc stuff as much as the fact they don’t have a working product yet and have no idea when they’ll have the working product that meets their promises

[marsh saffron]

Also, qc aside the company is kinda just scummy

[glacial wind]

like from their own words on Twitter their keyboard keycaps aren’t even stable enough yet to be usable properly, which means they didn’t even have that much done for their launch video

[marsh saffron]

Constant lies, not giving what was originally promised(or it takes 6-18 months to finally deliver them)

[glacial wind]

Let alone all the software tuning that would be needed on that final product

[marsh saffron]

No...

People aren't torturing them they are just fragile as hell

Most people with issues are😭

[glacial wind]

Eh night is taking the example a bit far, I think I’ll qc is fine now. Not the best but it’s okay - real problem is that it took a year to get there

[marsh saffron]

Its mid

Its not like first 2 batches, but for 190usd the qc is still a joke

[glacial wind]

It’s a bit shitty that it took them literal year to get the actual promised product because they never actually built or tested it properly until first batch

[marsh saffron]

Still waiting for sub 30g ulx

[glacial wind]

then they use each batch to actually test and build the features that were promised

It’s just standard finalmouse. Promise everything and the kitchen sink then deliver only half a sink and give it a year to get the other half

That’s not the point

[marsh saffron]

One of their huge advertisements was that the small was sub 30g yet I've never seen a single one weigh under 30

[glacial wind]

The point is the delivered and delayed product didn’t have the promised features at all

Because they never had it ready or done

They just told people they will have it but have no idea when or how long it will take

As they do for every product they launch. Then eventually you get all those features but it often takes them a long time and a whole bunch of batches

[marsh saffron]

My one praise for finalmouse is that they laid the grounds for wlmouse to cook 😭

[glacial wind]

They’re always very vague on purpose

Because they know they don’t have the product

Just like how the centerpiece pro also doesn’t necessarily promise all features on launch

That’s the most biased interpretation and you know it lol

[marsh saffron]

Your kidding right

Maybe take your time before releasing the fucking product😭

[glacial wind]

I’m not like night here who is saying their mouse is still bad, I think current ulx is fine now. However that’s an insane interpretation to give them

[marsh saffron]

This is the perfect analogy for finalmouse

[glacial wind]

I’m not saying they don’t

[marsh saffron]

If only they could've fully released it alongside the mouse

[glacial wind]

I’m saying they’ll be vague, lie or overpromise features they don’t have to sell

You’ll get your promised product but it won’t be what was promised for another year after

just like how they promise top of the line level features now but they literally don’t even have stable keycaps yet on their keyboard

Yes

It’s literally finalboy saying it’ll be the best and better than any other keyboard performance wise

But the trick is he didn’t say ‘at launch’

[marsh saffron]

Yep

Performance isn't just latency

[glacial wind]

Yes latency and accuracy, both of which they haven’t even been able to properly fine tune if their keycaps aren’t even stable yet

their literal keycaps don’t stay still. Get that into your thinking for a second

[marsh saffron]

That would include accuracy of the switches, alongside socd/rt/stuff similar

It causes instability

Did you forget their magnets are there too?

Wobble in the magnet would cause instability with the HE sensor

[ionic breach]

can attest keycap wobble + good firmware matters more than latency]

above 1k hz

[glacial wind]

???? I’m saying you can’t tune the firmware properly until you first have proper non wobbling keycaps

Aka they haven’t even reached the stage to fine tune things because their working product doesn’t work yet

So their promise of latency and accuracy is just “this is what we want to do… but we don’t have that yet”

[ionic breach]

either way it will be cool to see how fast they learn

never delved deep into their org

[glacial wind]

It’s literally how he software works - all of it

you fine tune the noise control

That’s the hard part

You can’t fine tune noise control until you actually have the working product that gives you values that you can program around

I’m not saying finalmouse cannot do it. I’m saying they cannot do it UNTIL they have a fully ready product for it

Aka their timeline is bullshit

[polar girder]

Yeah first models going to be cooked

They might eventually figure it out tho

Probably

[glacial wind]

Yeah

I think they’ll figure it out eventually, just that I also think their timeline is bullshit and they won’t have a product ready for awhile because it’s vaporware for now

[ionic breach]

id hope they have the basics down

they delayed this alr for a year no?

they must have ran into this

[glacial wind]

They just gave you a spec list and a heavily cgi video with promises and have waaay more work to do

[polar girder]

Well they had to completely redesign it I think lol

[glacial wind]

2 years

[polar girder]

I don’t think previous centerpiece was HE

so they were like oh shit lol

[glacial wind]

The worrying part is more than their demo launch video was literally just more of the cgi stuff we saw 2 years ago

so it means they didn’t have a more ready physical real product to record with

[polar girder]

Right

[glacial wind]

June/July will come around then finalboy will post something like “we found a way to optimize latency even more! It will take a few more months though but we are set to have the greatest keyboard ever!!”

Just his standard marketing speak for “we don’t have the product ready because we never knew how long it’d actually take to make features that we don’t have yet, so we need to delay a bit more”

[marsh saffron]

More

It was supposed to release in 2023 I thought

Initially announced like 2021 or 2022?

[marsh saffron]

Unless my timeline is wrong I remember hearing this

[tawdry tree]

It’s been a while while.

I think when they shipped the centerpiece cars with their mice

is when it was supposed to release shortly after

but that was an mx board

💀

with translucent switches

[marsh saffron]

With one of the starlights yeah

[rough hornet]

My back hurts how do you guys do this for fun 😂😂😂😂😂

[cyan lark]

Wait you’re not getting paid? 😉

[tropic urchin]

But then add on 20 more switches

It’s ‘fun’/different for the first 20-25 switches then is not very fun

[cyan lark]

@tropic urchin alright tell me you hate the 45g springs so I don’t have to do this

[tropic urchin]

I bought Geon pingless to experiment with too

Honestly wasn’t bad to do the whole board (excluding F row and escape)

I’d do like 5 and compare them to normal to see if you hate it or not

Was rather interesting that the CF plate didn’t respond as well with 45g springs which I wasn’t expecting (went to play some POE2 and my middle finger started hurting a tad)

Shafie hexed me with the OSU fingers

[cyan lark]

Huh that’s curious, wonder why that might be

[tropic urchin]

Gonna give it a few more days before I overreact

[little glen]

Why do osu players always have weak fingers

Explain this to me

Also im gonna spring swap all my raws coming with my venom to the pingless springs and see how i like em

Not lubing em either to see how it goes

[distant bear]

Wanna get myself a bit higher profile case than standard plastic for 60he. Any recommendations?

[little glen]

What do you mean by that

Higher angle? Higher height? More premium?

[distant bear]

Higher height, sry. English isnt my first language.

[little glen]

Is there a reason you want a higher up case?

[tropic urchin]

Seems to be bc they literally slam their keyboards with their fingers, mine is a little more peculiar.

[little glen]

What the

I will never understand osu players

[tropic urchin]

I don’t play OSU so I can’t relate but I agree

[distant bear]

Yes, i used to have zoom75 for quite a long time and really enjoyed the case angle and height. Now, feels like my wrist got some pain after using standard 60he case.

[little glen]

It is more ergonomic to have lower typing angle and case closer to the table

You can also get a wrist rest which can maybe help sometimes

[distant bear]

I will try the wrist wrest, thanks! Was also curious about tofu60 case. If it is any good

[little glen]

Right now this is probably the best value you can get for a case for 60he: https://novelkeys.com/products/random-wilba-tech-salvation

Do keep in mind that this will have some minor flaws and you cant choose the color

But its a very good deal and it comes with a case and all

[distant bear]

Appreciate your help!

[tropic urchin]

Ah so that’s why ppl didn’t want brown

I was like “wtf just don’t pick brown”, but I see it’s fun RNG

[little glen]

Yep

I got blue

🙂

Hardest part of premium keyboard cases is honestly sticking the feet on

That shit needs a lot of precision to do correctly

[cyan lark]

Whenever I go to put sticky feet on something I feel calm and confident until the first moment I fuck up and then I'm filled with self doubt for the rest of the harrowing process.

[little glen]

Lets just say there is exactly one reason i did not finish building my gundam

(Its the stickers)

[cyan lark]

What a terrible week to quit drinking shakes violently

[tropic urchin]

Makes me feel nice knowing I just have to rip mine off and restick the silicone in 😇

[little glen]

Clearly the answer is to build your keyboard while drunk exclusively

[analog mulch]

Hello everyone , are these keycaps good quality?

https://kineticlabs.com/keycaps/wuque-studios/ws-cthulhu-pbt-keycaps

[untold wigeon]

ello everyone, I'm switching to jades for my 60he+ with a nice pbtkeycap set and have never touched stabilizers in my life aside from recently breaking the housing for one on my spacebar by accident, what stabilizers should i buy to replace my current ones?

[sour blade]

have there been any additonial leaks about wooting 60 pro or news about wooting's next projcets?

[stone flax]

No, especially when considering theyre $80

[blissful lintel]

Any1 tried wooting with unikorn?

[lapis raven]

I have an 80HE and my escape key makes a really high pitched noise, ive already swapped the switch over and it still makes this high pitched noise when bottoming out, and is not thocky at all, is there any way i can improve this and make it deeper and thockier more akin to the other keys on the 80HE ? its also only a week old

[stone flax]

incompatible

[stone flax]

different areas of a keyboard sound differently

[regal nest]

are there any new aftermarket cases for the wooting 80he announced? aside from the kbd one

[analog mulch]

https://pbt.fans/products/pbtfans-cookies-n-creme?variant=40516957929561 would you say these ones are good?
https://kbdfans.com/collections/pbtfans/products/pbtfans-neon-r2?variant=42601075736715

[little glen]

there's the bone80

[lapis raven]

its very high pitched though, and it wasnt like this when i got it.

idk if you can hear it clearly in this video

[regal nest]

i guess its really new, since theres no reviews on yt

[little glen]

idek if they ship yet haha

the gt-80 is really nice tho

i have one and i love it

[regal nest]

happy with the sound? badseed said it sounded hollow irc

[little glen]

yeah i like it after a few things i did

i posted some sound tests before 1 sec

#🔧│keyboard_modding message #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[kind helm]

badseed also said salvation is meh iirc

[tidal frigate]

@harsh dove your salvation is insulted

[little glen]

sounds poppy and pleasant atm but maybe i will swap off tape mod again idk

i'll have to try with no tape at all maybe when i fix my stabs

[regal nest]

seems like tapemod changed a lot, i really like the sound tbh.

what do you mean by polyfill btw? im not that deep in the hobby yet

[regal nest]

no idea what salvation is

[kind helm]

its like stuff for pillow put below the pcb

to reduce hollowness

[little glen]

polyester fiber filling material

[little glen]

salvation is a keyboard case that is pretty popular

but yeah i think my 80he sounds really good now

except for the stabs

tho i gotta do some more work on it i think

josh do you have any suggestions for what i can try

[kind helm]

is it ticking right now?

[little glen]

stabs or board?

[kind helm]

stab

[little glen]

i have some replacement stabs ready to go just need to build them and all

but i've put it off until my venom arrives so i have one test vehicle i can fuck up before i got to my 80he

i got 2 sets of knight v2

[kind helm]

yea those should be easy to work with

[little glen]

but yeah do you have any suggestions for shit i can do to the board

i might try jade pro but $$

[kind helm]

if you like it my suggestion is be content.

[little glen]

[harsh dove]

Why

[regal nest]

yeah it does. i guess ill give the case a try, especially since new ones are coming out rather slowly. kinda expected way more at this point

can i get this polyfill material on amazon?

[little glen]

do keep in mind that gt-80 will only ship in like may

for current batch

[little glen]

yep or any hobby store

i went to the city and picked some up in person

[regal nest]

its basicly just the pillow style material as josh said? i think i saw these in bags at my local christmas/artsy store

[little glen]

yep

its just pillow/stuffed animal filling material

[regal nest]

aight perfect, thanks for the infos - helped me to decide 🙂

[twilit plaza]

where should i use the o rings on the module?

[sweet oak]

Because its so hot

Insulted because too sexy

They’re jealous

[cyan lark]

I just watched that video recently. He was pretty effusive about it, I think you might be misremembering.

[kind helm]

wait you right, my memory is fcked then, i remember there was one reviewer who said finishing is bad for 300 and price is a bit rough despite the novel mouting style

nvm was this one

[stone flax]

true

salvation on release was a shitshow

people ended up getting stickers that said something along the lines of “i survived the wait”

[warm vapor]

anyone experienced a broken usb port? need to re-solder a new female port to mine has anyone tried doing it?

[tidal frigate]

Well if it is broken you would get new module

If you have enough skill to resolder and not break anything why not

[warm vapor]

i do. just asking around if anyone's tried it

original solder used is a little tougher to reflow w just regular iron so i wanted to know if people have tried it since it looks like i'm gonna have to get a hotair rework station to fix it

[tidal frigate]

You would be technicly still under warranty if you do everything correctly

[sacred elm]

did you break it or its defective

[warm vapor]

cat pushed the keyboard off the table and it snapped lol

[little glen]

Be careful not to rip off the solder pads

Ive seen a case where someone decimated their shit

[warm vapor]

for sure. thanks bud

[sacred elm]

ah then your warranty is already cooked, you can try soldering it

[little glen]

Powerful cat or keyboard close to edge

[tidal frigate]

Well hes still covered with parts if he ask nicely

[little glen]

I choose to believe the first

[sacred elm]

he just needs to solder it

no parts needed

[warm vapor]

main question i have for anyone who's tried is if there's an extra pad underneath the port like some designs do. something like this:

i do have a bunch of extra 16-pin ports. i solder a bunch of custom keyboard

[cyan lark]

No idea but I’m a little envious you have an excuse to get a hot air station

[warm vapor]

latter. but mostly i think the cable was yanked lol

[cyan lark]

Tempted to break my own shit now 😉

[sacred elm]

best place to ask is 80he channel or general

[warm vapor]

i literally have no use for it except this case. so i really wanted to make sure it was doable with just an iron 😂 i tried everything except hotair

thank you fellas

[cyan lark]

Oh this is 80he?

At least it’s just a daughter board then

[warm vapor]

nah, it's a 60HE+

[sacred elm]

ah 60

[little glen]

[cyan lark]

Ah yeah get that station 😊

[little glen]

Solder on a jst connector and then you can be the first person using 60he on frog mini leggera

[sacred elm]

maybe 60he pro will have daughterboard so if that happens you can just swap daughterboard

[cyan lark]

Sorry tho I dunno haven’t gone under that port, dunno what you’re in for exactly

[warm vapor]

my venom's going on the leggera

i need to get my venom off my f2-60 😦 i miss regular switches

[little glen]

I‘m gonna put my venom in my salvation

Just need geon to start shipping already

[warm vapor]

i'm a little sad for selling my salvation when wooting 60he became a thing icl

[little glen]

I got the rng salvation

100 bucks was pretty good for that

https://novelkeys.com/products/random-wilba-tech-salvation

If you want to get another one

Comes with travel case and all (at least mine did)

[warm vapor]

please tell me u didn't get the brown one

[little glen]

Nop

[warm vapor]

anyway, appreciate it

[cyan lark]

He’s not so lucky. Blessed are the coppers.

[little glen]

It has some defects but honestly not bad

[warm vapor]

wait where're the defects

that looks clean so far

i might just actually grab one wtf

[cyan lark]

No defects on my rng

[little glen]

Theres some missing paint on the side on the inside

And around the screw holes theres some shit

But honestly still really good for the price

[little glen]

Damn that is a good color too

[warm vapor]

does that look lilac irl

[cyan lark]

Yeah that’s about right

[little glen]

I kinda wanna swap that looks rlly good

[sacred elm]

clean

[cyan lark]

I like the look but I love the feel. Very fun to tap

[warm vapor]

new 60he needs to be tsangan

[little glen]

I need to get just some regular ass wob gmks

[warm vapor]

it looks perfect except 4 bottom right mods :/

[sacred elm]

60he cf plate when

oops

[cyan lark]

Ha no plan currently to go cf on it

Might be fun 🤷

[stone flax]

pp plate

[sacred elm]

pp plate 🤮

[cyan lark]

Never tried a pp plate, I just know it’s soft as a newborn

Tried cf on the 80 and it was interesting

[sacred elm]

Yeah, maybe with 60he its fine but no way youre going to use it with 80he

[warm vapor]

i thought it was gimmnicky but it was good on my prophet

[calm pulsar]

but 80he comes with a soft plate stock, is it that bad?

[sacred elm]

I had issues with stock plate, in a game where you need heavy tapping, i had doubletaps

i swapped to fr4 and its all good now

[sweet oak]

Oh there’s 80he plates now?

[calm pulsar]

ic, well when I switched to dense plates on 60he I never wanted to go back hehe

[sweet oak]

I didnt even know

[sacred elm]

Yes on ali

[sweet oak]

I will research

[sacred elm]

Keyboard fun store on ali

[sacred elm]

Yea, im glad i decided to swap plate because it literally felt like defective keyboard with pc plate when I played osu

[warm vapor]

i have local guy that prints plates for me i just need the files

[sacred elm]

I wasnt able to use lower rt than 0.4

well only in osu

[little glen]

I need to find me one of those

[sacred elm]

other games were fine

[little glen]

[warm vapor]

iirc he's the same guy who printed a plate for frog mini - 60HE to that one guy on reddit

[little glen]

We need someone in material science to start making plates out of exotic materials

[kind helm]

there is wood plate

[little glen]

Thats not very exotic

[kind helm]

what about cork plate

[little glen]

Teflon plate i want some weird shit man

[sacred elm]

when can we get a plate made from other planet materials

[sweet oak]

I will check them out, some of my keys for the stock plate have a weird feeling on bottom-out on the wasd side where so maybe another plate would help get rid of that feeling

[little glen]

Get me a plate that will give me some kind of unknown disease

Illness

[sacred elm]

Yea, fr4 or cf is the way

[polar girder]

I want a PP PCB

[sacred elm]

if you care about rgb then pick fr4

[polar girder]

lol imagine caring about RGB

Jk jk

[little glen]

You are really making me want to pick up an fr4 plate

[sacred elm]

Do it

[stone flax]

i like fr4!!!! - tried 2 plates

type shi

[polar girder]

Lolzzzz

[stone flax]

dookie 🍽️

https://tenor.com/view/miside-mita-phone-love-gif-16651174170933862935

[polar girder]

lol I should’ve got one instead of Alu maybe

[stone flax]

You will buy cf

[little glen]

I care enough about rgb that i make it look nice when i have it but not enough to use shine through keycaps or anything

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s fair

No hate lol

[kind helm]

nah alu better imo

but fr4 is good too, on tofu redux

[little glen]

[warm vapor]

would u use a full windowed set then

[little glen]

Alu fr4 cf

[little glen]

I am using gmk caps

[polar girder]

I mean I’m probably going to get a plastic plate regardless truth be told

[little glen]

I think thats all you need to know about how much light comes through

I probably wont get a cf plate cause i dont like the look of it

[warm vapor]

imagine a designer releasing a full windowed set like

[little glen]

Eh

The windowed ones are printed i think no?

Yeah they are

Not a big fan of that tbh

[warm vapor]

the legends?

still ds

[little glen]

[calm pulsar]

yeah the shinethrough are cv printed

but why would you want a whole windowed set lol

[little glen]

I can clearly see that the windowed caps lock is uv printed

[warm vapor]

wait i just checked underneath you're right lol

i misremembered the non-windowed

[uneven cradle]

yall better not be talking bad about PP plate I know you haven't actually tried one

[sacred elm]

Yea no thanks, im not trying anything softer than pc

it was enough

[sweet oak]

Ive only had steel and pc

[uneven cradle]

there's no accounting for taste

[sweet oak]

What plate do you use hopper

[uneven cradle]

PP on my 60HE and just using the default PC plate on my 80HE

[sweet oak]

Hmm

[kind helm]

pp on what case?

[uneven cradle]

This one

[bitter dove]

are those silicon...

[kind helm]

guessing that is frog

[uneven cradle]

It is frog

[sweet oak]

Tak would be proud

[uneven cradle]

Is what silicon

[kind helm]

i kinda want to see what is the experience with pp + salvation, i am waiting for my wallet to recover a bit before buying more keyboard stuff

[uneven cradle]

I feel ya just got a new phone 💸

We must recover funds to make more purchases

[sweet oak]

Like a 5090

[lapis raven]

the 5090 that sold out within a second lol

[sweet oak]

Specifically the astral asus model

[visual ore]

Stores literally had single digits in stock

Which is just freaking wild that Nvida is still doing this.

[uneven cradle]

that card is like $3600 USD here

[lapis raven]

2.6k GBP for me

[little glen]

I‘m gonna try alu and fr4 plates on my venom and i‘ll get my 80he plate based on that

Surely thats a good idea

[lapis raven]

Suuuurellyyyyyy

[bitter dove]

t hose keycaps

[uneven cradle]

They are double shot ABS

[little glen]

Rubrehose

[bitter dove]

double shot espresso

is all i knmow

[little glen]

I wish they sold the colored caps on their own

Cause i already have a beige gmk set

[stone flax]

mods are uv print no?

[little glen]

Uv print is usually on caps that have more than 2 colors

So all of the mictlan novelties are uv printed for example

[uneven cradle]

Probably

[rough hornet]

Where can I get key caps in eu that are nown brand and are similar to the texturized paint the stock keycaps

[uneven cradle]

Yeah they are

[little glen]

How much money are you willing to spend

[sweet oak]

Very affordable

[cyan lark]

Woo, my first artisan is arriving Tuesday ✨

[visual ore]

Wooo \o/

[little glen]

What is it if i may ask

[cyan lark]

I don't mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-0IcT0kVYk&t=2s

[little glen]

Bro went beast mode so hard, everyone going to start addressing him as mr. from now on

[kind helm]

my nail hurts from watching

[cyan lark]

You just sent a shiver up my spine thinking about how bad that could go for your nail

[tropic urchin]

mark that as NSFW

i wonder if i should get a 2u to replace my right shift lmao

since its just a shitty 40% space bar currently

[cyan lark]

As long as you've tended to the etfs already

[tropic urchin]

BoA revoked my diamond rewards status bc I tended to them too much

idk why they even gave it to me to begin with but lmao

[cyan lark]

I lost it cause fuck that savings rate 📉

[tropic urchin]

true

i only have a checkings account with em, but most of my shit is outtie

having a MM acct with fidelity is nice, but still is cringe against inflation, but not much you can really do besides cry

[cyan lark]

Nope, like Sisyphus

But yeah get rocks dude

Can't take it w/ ya when you die

[tropic urchin]

your wife can if she kills you for buying too many rocks tho

gotta hide the extras

[faint yarrow]

Hey all! I had Jade Pro Max's that I really loved but the friction when not pressing them directly on drove me nuts while gaming so I picked up some Raws to swap them out with. I'm in the middle of lubing the Raws and it feels like some are smoother to press down on initially than others. Does anyone have any idea on what's causing that? Am I underlubing certain parts of the stem that's causing that initial friction?

[marsh saffron]

Laughs in thick ass nails

[cyan lark]

Raws just kinda have that friction at the top. I didn't notice some having more or less than others, but I wasn't able to lube it away.

[marsh saffron]

My dashes are somewhat similar

There's just a very small amount of friction during the first 0.3mm ish

[night atlas]

do u have a sound test of ur PP wooting

i hate that i had to type that

[faint yarrow]

Thanks for the info, at least I'm not crazy

I feel like I shouldn't go to crazy trying to get the perfect switch right now since I keep hearing how rapid the development around switches is

[night atlas]

how does the plate cause double taps? is it a calibration thing?

[fallen pecan]

Soft plate = plate flex = accidental actuation

[calm pulsar]

if you press a switch really hard with a soft plate, does that mean that all the keys around it actuate?

[polar girder]

lol

What’s with all the hard plate elitism?

Y’all think you’re better than everyone else?

[calm pulsar]

people mistakenly assume that if there's flex in the plate, the switches actuate

as if the switches are soft lol

[gilded falcon]

Anyone know where to find marvel artisan keycaps? Looking for a Spider-Man keycap

[night atlas]

is the venom he the closes to wooting in terms of performance and software ability

[stone flax]

remove bit off lube on stem and top housing for contact points

[stone flax]

software ability meaning?

[night atlas]

all the abilities that the wooting software has

capabilities might be a better way to put it

i.e. a lot of other softwares for other HE boards tend to not have a lot of the capabilities that wooting has

i think the closest one in terms of that is keychron, anectodally

drunkdeer was a bit behind

[stone flax]

dks, rgb, analogue missing

most notably

[night atlas]

so youre saying the venom is missing those things?

[stone flax]

ya for now

[night atlas]

i c i c

[calm pulsar]

what's dks

[night atlas]

dicks

jk double key stroke

[kind helm]

the walk run thingy

[stone flax]

dynamic key stroke

[night atlas]

that

not double

lool

[calm pulsar]

I wonder what would be uses for this, cause I cba keeping in mind how far I press the key for different functions lol

[little glen]

Cheating at osu is one of them

[night atlas]

i think there was some tech in apex that takes advantage

[little glen]

Also like, spellcasting in league

[night atlas]

idk tho i don't play enough to really understand it

[little glen]

Yeah some apex stuff

[calm pulsar]

I remember there was some korean benchmark website, but its broken now, can't sort anything

[sacred elm]

it was happening to me specifically in osu, because you need to tap harder in that game. also because 80he has silicon gasket pc plate or any other softer plate isnt it

[night atlas]

ahhhh I see

[sacred elm]

with fr4 all those doubletaps are gone

[night atlas]

cant wait for mine to come in

i'm also sad that its gonna take bout a month

why cant everything i want be on amazon man

[calm pulsar]

some NA people had their AE stuff delivered in 2 weeks

maybe you get lucky

[kind helm]

about half month even on new year time

us east

[sacred elm]

crazy that ace60 is highly recommended, that thing costs like 50 bucks? lol

mad60 gets all this hype but i feel like ace60 is so underrated while being way better

[kind helm]

they probably dont have the wooting warranty either

[sacred elm]

Yea, I think it has same warranty as venom

1 day

[chilly mural]

Weord

Never experienced it despite playing the same kind of game (rhythm game)

Probably because I don't use rapid trigger and just set the actuation at 3.5mm

[sacred elm]

Yea, without rapid trigger it was all good

I always used 0.15 rapid trigger in osu, but on 80he I literally couldnt

swapped the plate and im using 0.15 without any issues lol

[chilly mural]

Make sense

[sacred elm]

When I used 60he

It had steel plate

[chilly mural]

also, nice to see a cheap HE board being very fast, naow people can't really complain about their skill being bad if they have those.

Other than 'but it's unstable!!!' probably.

[sacred elm]

Yea but I heard if you press more than 6 keys or something, latency increases to 10ms

💀

[chilly mural]

fine for fps, not soo much for rhythm game

[sacred elm]

yea

[chilly mural]

Osu STD and Taiko/Musedash is fine tho

ME

I play 4k, 5k, 6k, 7k, and 8k rhythm game/Mania

[sacred elm]

yea osu standard should be good

[chilly mural]

10

But if I have a second arcade controller I can play 14k a bit

[sacred elm]

lol, ace 60 pro costs 35$

[calm pulsar]

we can deduct now that wooting 80he price is $35 + $164 (4 years of warranty)

[sacred elm]

Real

[rough hornet]

50 to 0

[rough hornet]

Wwww

[lapis raven]

Hey if you dont mind i'd like to ask a question regarding your 80HE as you mentioned some of the keys feel different on the WASD side when bottoming out. and just wanted to ask do any sound different? Because my escape key has become really 'tinny' and 'clacky' as opposed to 'thocky' and it feels slightly different from the f1 key or the tilde key.

[sacred elm]

because you used esc more often

lube was spread

[lapis raven]

i swapped the switch with one of the spare ones provided and its still 'clacky'

[calm pulsar]

keys on outer edges will inevitably sound a bit different

because of physics

pretty much each key sounds a bit different, but the ones in the middle are closer in sound to each other

[kind helm]

dont expect the he boards to sound even, since the plates are screwed to the pcb, the pressure is more or less uneven

[lapis raven]

is there anything i can do to make it not sound like, well, shit

it was fine when i got the keyboard a week and a bit ago

[calm pulsar]

also the keys around standoffs will also sound a bit brigher due to extra tension on the plate/pcb in those spots

[kind helm]

frog handles that pretty well though i bet

[calm pulsar]

did something change with the keyboard?

[lapis raven]

nah

[calm pulsar]

maybe the switch doesnt sit in the plate right or smth

[kind helm]

since its 2 piece case 👅

[kind helm]

did you unscrew the board before?

[lapis raven]

nope

[calm pulsar]

well it's certainly not like it was on tray mount xd

[lapis raven]

only recently

[lapis raven]

it was doing it before though and i thought maybe a switch change will solve the issue

[calm pulsar]

2 piece are real

[lapis raven]

but it's still doing it after switching the switch

[kind helm]

where is that from

LMAO

[kind helm]

did you make sure to put all your screws back in?

[sacred elm]

lol

[calm pulsar]

maybe you are the problem since you started noticing that just now

joking ofc xd

[lapis raven]

lmao i wish,

[lapis raven]

yes i did, its assembled correctly

but it was happening before i replaced the switch

[kind helm]

ah ok i see you what meant

[lapis raven]

yus it was happening before i opened it up to switch the switch and after

[kind helm]

if you didn't touch the inside of the board in anyway i dont see how the board's sound can change

[sacred elm]

its all in your head

also its esc

who cares

[lapis raven]

i care

[sacred elm]

[lapis raven]

for 200gbp and it being 5 days old cause it got delivered on the 27th, i think thats a bit annoying, no ?

[sacred elm]

can you record video

im curious

yes

[lapis raven]

yes\

yeah i’ve got one

its significantly higher pitched than any other key

ive sent a support request in to wooting just waiting on a response which will probably be a while from the automated email i got back

[kind helm]

a new guess, can you open it up and check the gasket is sitted correctly?

[sacred elm]

what if you compare with f1?

[kind helm]

maybe it was shifted aside and somehow tilted to cause it to sound different

[lapis raven]

but it was happening before i took it apart though

[sacred elm]

doesnt it sound the same

[kind helm]

@sacred elm maybe you can do a video and show just how closesimilar f1 and esc should sound

ignoring the different case, plate, and switches

[lapis raven]

i could record it with my SM7B as that would be higher quality than my phone mic

but there is definitely a higher pitched sound coming from the ESC key

[kind helm]

i be honest i dont think that is too out of place.. but i can see it is annoying

[sacred elm]

this is jade pro/fr4 plate

pcr case

[lapis raven]

yeah thats whats it sounded basically like when i first got it

'basically'

it was normal sounding

[kind helm]

does the board bounce like when you just got it?

[sacred elm]

its same for me too, esc is higher pitch

[kind helm]

actually yea

[kind helm]

maybe just maybe

[sacred elm]

thats normal

[lapis raven]

it sounded normal when i got it

[sacred elm]

if it bothers you that much, reassemble it

idk

[lapis raven]

is there nothing i can do to make it sound more inline with the rest of the keys ?

[kind helm]

you changed switch and it still sounds the same -> switch may not be the issue, and it was already behaving like this before you open up the board, -> case and plate may not be the issue. i dont think installation of the key cap can be the problem too

[sacred elm]

lol you havent pressed f8

shits crazy different compared to other keys

[lapis raven]

f8 sounds hollow, but not clacky or high pitched

hollow im fine with because it isnt attacking me directly lmao

[sacred elm]

😆

[kind helm]

that can just be the switch. some switch sound more different than other even those they supposed to be the same..

[lapis raven]

holy that sounds very bad wth

[sacred elm]

no its just f8

[lapis raven]

why does F8 sound like that for you ?

or is that universal for the 80HE ?

[kind helm]

try a different switch if you have spare :3 i had that too. then i saw this vid about cherrypicking swithces then i realize even the switches themselves don't all sound the same

[sacred elm]

its literally above the case screw

thats why

[kind helm]

that too, edit: that is the thing with bigger impact

[lapis raven]

that makes sense

[sacred elm]

no its not a switch, it was happening with lekkers, raws, jade pros

it happens because there is a screw below it

[lapis raven]

is there anything i can do to alleviate this issue ? ive got some 205g0 etc coming later toeday but its 5 am rn, but anything i can do for the escape key to make it not sound like that ? i have the money just dont know a lot of the stuff when it comes to keyboards

[kind helm]

lube would make it sound deeper for a while

but just for a while

[lapis raven]

anything permanent ?

[kind helm]

nothing that my dumb ass know off

[lapis raven]

damn

[kind helm]

mr mj may have an idea but bro not here so too bad.

[lapis raven]

who is mr mj ?

[sacred elm]

michael jordan

[lapis raven]

lol

is he some keyboard saint ?

[kind helm]

no michael jackson
