[kind helm]

geon raw he is the one true king :V the only switch that was universally liked at some point other than one weak finger person.

[sacred elm]

lol

The legend

[quasi hinge]

I use them now, no complaints

[sacred elm]

gothikx

[cyan lark]

Holy shit at the USPS news

[polar girder]

Dang

[night atlas]

you get yours yet??

[tropic urchin]

oh so im fucked then

actually but thats just usps

hmm

[glad hull]

geon raws or jade pros?

[tropic urchin]

if no budget or RGB desire id pick it out of a hat tbh. both are gonna be pretty clacky and will do the job

Pros will be more expensive, but with less RGB potential and RAWs are cheaper with better RGB

[ionic breach]

usps?

[tropic urchin]

USPS has temp suspended parcels from china and hong kong

[ionic breach]

oh ya that

skill issue

[tropic urchin]

welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllp

[cyan lark]

I have some things on the way from China right now. Wonder what will happen to them.

[kind helm]

thank god i finished my boards a few weeks ago

[tropic urchin]

do i wait on poms then lmao

[kind helm]

now all i want is a extra gmk set at some point which i can get from novelkey

[cyan lark]

Milktooth ships from the US

I'd get them now if you want 'em personally

[kind helm]

but no discount like the ones you can possibly get from ali

[cyan lark]

Not to scare, but this seems like a pretty weird situation

[kind helm]

trump doing trump things, all good

[tropic urchin]

90 switches for $99 bless the lord

vs $108 off aliexpress

FUCK IT WE BALL

https://tenor.com/view/chris-farley-running-lets-do-this-excited-gif-1123735877982497761

Alright so they said this is a temporary suspension, but provided no further details.

[tropic urchin]

[cyan lark]

Customs and Border Protection did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The White House did not immediately provide comment.
Thank you for your service

[tropic urchin]

color me shocked

[cyan lark]

This wouldn't have happened if we privatized the USPS /s

[calm pulsar]

are there any other carriers?

or is over

[cyan lark]

https://theonion.com/it-only-tuesday-1819569397/

[kind helm]

there are i think

[tropic urchin]

Milktooth since they're US based

atleast for switches

[kind helm]

the issue i fear is are they going to straight up block anything from china at some point

[tropic urchin]

$99 with free 2-5 day shipping

goated

[calm pulsar]

US out there sanctioning not only Russia, but americans as well☠️

[tropic urchin]

well, we get everything from china, so unless its a hot war i doubt it

[calm pulsar]

i meant postal carriers

[cyan lark]

Arc this is good for the citizens, you just don't understand /s

[tropic urchin]

we literally get everything

[cyan lark]

Haven't heard about private carriers stopping, but it depends on whether companies will ship with them

[kind helm]

that is what i think, so like i dont understand why he is even trying to do this

[calm pulsar]

yeah if this lasts ig some people will offer buying goods locally in china and shipping via private companies

[tropic urchin]

to punish them for fent shit last i can recall

[cyan lark]

Will probably cost an absolute fortune though

[tropic urchin]

@calm pulsar Poms secured

[calm pulsar]

nice, ggs to a hundred bucks

[tropic urchin]

$99 with free shipping or $108 with indefinite holding

[tropic urchin]

3% cash back

[cyan lark]

Yeah that's the stated reason, but somehow I doubt that.

[quasi hinge]

Not yet, hopefully this week, arrived on sat at the forwarder

[tropic urchin]

hes been going crazy over it, but I think this time its legit

whether it'll actually do anything remains to be seen

They’ll probably play hard to get and reach a deal in like 3 weeks

[cyan lark]

Possibly. Hopefully.

[quasi hinge]

I sure hope no hot war 😂

Im in the region, nice knowing you all

[tropic urchin]

He’s been the only one to not start a new one, so we will see

[quasi hinge]

lmao

[teal raven]

I think i finished it ngl. prob the only thing i need to do is the technical drawing and the 80he version but im gonna be busy the rest of this week

forged optimum's signature 💀

[ionic breach]

why not ur own

[calm pulsar]

lol why

[teal raven]

i wanted to recreate this ngl

but i made mines too big

also i need to start rendering in blender mines is just so bad in fusion 360

heres the render of the renders i should make the engravements deeper but it might just be lighting

[quasi hinge]

Looks pretty good

how will you make it once it is done?

[teal raven]

I'd say its done apart from the technical drawing

but ill just get it 3d printed just as a visual prototype then get the case and cherry lip cnc and the weight laser cut out of 1/8' aluminum

[quasi hinge]

And what material will you use?

[teal raven]

and then the rest just engravements

[teal raven]

aluminum 6061

and wood

[quasi hinge]

then cerakote?

[quasi hinge]

How will you color that

[teal raven]

should be a bead blasted anodized finish

ill just outsource it tbf i dont got a wooting keyboard 💀

thats a problem for later though im in college so i can't really spend much apart from the manufacturing costs

also since the cherry lip is detachable, i made some renders of it in chrome just to see what it would like

polished aluminum*

[lapis raven]

after sleeping and waking up, still sounds super yummers

[lapis raven]

woah that looks super cool

[glad hull]

is there any way to make the 80 he wireless?

[quasi hinge]

unplug it

[prime orbit]

Day 2 waiting for 60he Pro

[teal raven]

Thanks!

[glacial wind]

specs for that new duhuk switch that geon is stocking

seems fairly normal materials with a slightly shorter than typical travel at 3.3

[chilly mural]

40g of bottom out force. Hmm

same material as Geon raw

[tidal frigate]

Thats tactile or clicky switch

[glacial wind]

that's just a normal linear he switch

[glacial wind]

material is same as 90% of he switches

almost all of them do the pc/nylon/pom combo

[chilly mural]

that's interesting

[quasi hinge]

Interesting they are going lower

[vast yoke]

well, i tried to lube the extra switches on the lekker V2. i probably ruined them as i may have used a bit too much lube lol

[lapis raven]

nah you can just wipe excess lube off

[glacial wind]

you 100% do not need to add more lube. If anything just spread existing lube around

you should be fine though, it's pretty hard to overlube to a crazy amount on open bottom he switches. Worst case maybe some more lube might leak out the bottom

[vast yoke]

ehh, they just feel weird when you bottom them out. get stuck once in awhile. at least it was just 7 and not the whole keyboard lol

or the whole switch feels full and less wobly.

[calm pulsar]

new cable arrived

for the hifi audio keyboard sound ofc

[sweet oak]

Keyboard screams in pain every keystroke, BUT IT HIFI

[calm pulsar]

goes well with silver frog and black caps

[little glen]

I really like the look of frog mini why isnt it available anymore :(

[high sphinx]

https://youtu.be/3TCHYpejSAc?si=_I__D4IuZGRq21Cx hey guys have u seen the keyboard with electric induction switches ?

[calm pulsar]

the end of magnetic??? it is so over....

[chilly mural]

Could be cool for wooting numpad hint hint

[high sphinx]

But what do u think about it for keyboards ?

[chilly mural]

If it's partly the same as regular HE when it comes to capability with lower power requirement, gives more leeway for a more powerful MCU

16k polling!

[high sphinx]

So it may be better the magnetic in the future ?

[chilly mural]

ehh, not sure. haven't research it enough

still cool tho

makes wireless wooting possible at least

[high sphinx]

Yup it is interesting also the switch sounded really good imo

[glacial wind]

basically same possibility in long term probably

[high sphinx]

Oh ok

[glacial wind]

we're basically not seeing a real 'improvement' in keyboards tech wise until someone comes up with something that's on the level of rapid trigger

[little glen]

And that took how many years?

[glacial wind]

accuracy and sensitivity is already at the limits of what is useful in current tech so at this stage everyone is competing to see who can get an advantage on paper that doesn't mean anything

[little glen]

It‘s the dpi wars all over again

I remember when mice would advertise their higher dpi as the only selling point

[glacial wind]

it's like when people upgrade their phone every year but they only use the instagram and tiktok apps. 5% more power doesn't mean anything for the use case and it's the same for keyboards becoming 5% more powerful or accurate etc

existing he sensors are already measuring movements as accurate as a hair in thickness

[high sphinx]

Yeah i was just curious what you guys thought about the electric induction switches

[glacial wind]

we're at the stage where humans are the limitation and not the actual tech, because we physically cannot take advantage of improvements in tech at this point

[glacial wind]

it allows some interesting stuff like potentially clicky switches

but that's more of a 'neat' thing and not so much performance or advantage in any way

[high sphinx]

Oh i see well we will have to see what the future will give us

[little glen]

Adaptive resistance switches when

[glacial wind]

i'm more interested in seeing keyboards become more user friendly in modding and build

keeping at that very precise performance we've reached, but add in things like very easy to swap plate tech and more would be very interesting to me

like how some mech keyboards have magnetic daughter boards now (you couldn't do this with he board for obvious reason, but this sort of improvement in usability is neat)

[little glen]

Tbf i feel like HE is quite modding friendly since there is no need to solder or anything, only issue is that you cant really run it plateless

[calm pulsar]

Bigsly got it from mechmarket

[glacial wind]

i want it to reach braindead level of easy

as in I want to swap my internals in 1 minute

i have no idea what tech and how you'd get there, but it would be very cool to have that capability

[little glen]

Ball catch case good for that one

gt80 my beloved

[glacial wind]

yeah things like that are what I mean. Just quality of life changes that you can implement over time to all the various bits and pieces

[calm pulsar]

its funny how I can go from wooting to venom by just unscrewing the case and replacing the module

I have a wooting attached to a frog plate with switches rn, meaning I can interchange them very fast

would be even faster if I didnt have to do unscrewing

[glacial wind]

yeah that's what I want to do actually. Just use my spare plate to swap switches in quickly full set vs full set

i need one more pcb to have the true ease of swap for testing video stuff

then just full swap one pcb for another that's already pre-configed

[calm pulsar]

now that I think of it, I have 4 60% he pcbs💀

2 wootings and 2 venoms

[glacial wind]

you see the mega cheap tiger lite deal?

[little glen]

[calm pulsar]

on kbdfans?

[glacial wind]

nah

[calm pulsar]

yeah its super nice

[glacial wind]

drop

[calm pulsar]

ahh lol

[little glen]

Sounds like a beer

[glacial wind]

https://drop.com/buy/kbdfans-tiger-lite-gaming-80-mechanical-keyboard-kit-v2 - this is pre extra discount for members etc

[calm pulsar]

but on kbdfans they also sell tiger lite with venom tkl

[glacial wind]

$59 tiger lite with venom

kdbfans is $85

[calm pulsar]

insane

[chilly mural]

DAMN

[calm pulsar]

one of the best performing pcbs too

[glacial wind]

if you have the member discount it's even cheaper lol

[calm pulsar]

you just give them the address at this point

[chilly mural]

this is as much of a deal as jade pro for $30

[glacial wind]

there is a bit of a wait because it's only delivery in end of may or something, but still $59 for the venom pcb kit + case is very cheap

[chilly mural]

i wonder how they get it cheap

[calm pulsar]

its kinda crazy, I wonder if its some investment type of deal for drop

maybe they would make margin off of keycaps or extras here

[little glen]

Wait holy that is cheap

I might buy that haha

[calm pulsar]

a tkl he sound like a cool keyboard

[glacial wind]

that kit + cheap-ish switches like raw he + and cheapie keycaps and i think you're at basically a $120 or so top tier he build

[chilly mural]

Cheaper than buying it from SG+shipping

for me

ehh, not sure about tax tho. Just gonna keep my order from Ktech since I already paid for it

[calm pulsar]

yeah, and it probably will be delivered faster

[glacial wind]

yeah this batch isn't delivering for awhile

[tropic urchin]

@chilly mural an email has been sent, lock in torontokeyboardman 😤

[chilly mural]

yay

[tropic urchin]

I swear Alu has been out of stock every time I’ve looked at their site lmao

It’s crazy

Hell I don’t even want their foam just the plate 😭

Also hopefully milk tooth ships my exarch maladaar switches soon

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

You’ll be the first one with customized Wooting lekker poms trust 🤓

[calm pulsar]

bro getting the tbc rep grind switches

[polar girder]

Yesssss

Just in time for venom rebuild

[tropic urchin]

I miss tbc so much

[polar girder]

Much excite

[tropic urchin]

The only 2 expansions we get actual land masses and not glorified islands

[fluid ravine]

Day 16 of waiting for my order to ship

[tropic urchin]

😭😭😭

[little glen]

Yooo

[calm pulsar]

glad they are doing tbc on anniversary realms, but I think they should just do servers that reset every couple of years like warmane and stuff

[tropic urchin]

Would be cool, I’ve been getting an itch for vanilla/tbc but I don’t wanna pay them $15/m when Private servers still exist :/

[flat cobalt]

Crazy it’s gonna take longer to get my artisans than the actual keycap set

[calm pulsar]

I had to go outside today cause so many of my orders from different marketplaces were waiting for me lol
grabbed a new usb cable, audio interface, some misc stuff

[polar girder]

Skill issue

Man I upgraded way too much shit recently

Need to chill

[flat cobalt]

lol

[tropic urchin]

Real

[calm pulsar]

true and real

[fluid ravine]

Type shi

[fluid ravine]

Cable?

[tropic urchin]

No regrets on soft Raiden and exarch switches

[calm pulsar]

yup

[tropic urchin]

Every key stabilizer shi

[polar girder]

The heck

Stock Wooting looking ahhh cable

What is that interface

Cable clean btw. Jk lol

[little glen]

I still have the lekker v2 from 80he preorder i could just buy this and give it to my brother

But i think he needs a typing board more than gaming alone

Man plays menu games mainly

Also on like an ancient razer keyboard so anything would be an upgrade for him

[calm pulsar]

its thicker how I like it

its actually a high end audio cable for interfaces and stuff, but I really liked how it goes with silver frog xd

[tropic urchin]

@chilly mural I got a response instantly wtf

[calm pulsar]

its a guitar oriented interface
has more ways to do gain staging for raw signal, compared to a normal interface

[tropic urchin]

“Will restocked next TWO weeks”

[little glen]

Tell em they should make iso plates too

[chilly mural]

the curse is there

[tropic urchin]

As an ansi enjoyer that’s your burden to bear 🙏🏻

[little glen]

They have at least one customer (me)

Surely kbdfans will make plates for 80he

[chilly mural]

surely there'll be a vendor near me that stock it

Can't be arse to pay with USD with the exchange rate rn

[calm pulsar]

the only alu plate for 80he in the world lol

[calm pulsar]

oh wait did you ask which cable is that

and I said yes lmao

[polar girder]

lol bro said Yes

Yeah I laughed lol

[quasi hinge]

For anyone in the us

Back to normal for you guys lol

[visual ore]

I was expecting that lol

[polar girder]

Trumpy see, Trumpy do.

[visual ore]

Orange guy keeps flip flopping because he has no idea what he is doing.

[polar girder]

Saving up for TTC POM

[quasi hinge]

Im not from the us, just sharing ✌️

[polar girder]

[tropic urchin]

He wrote the art of the deal so I expect nothing less of saber rattling

@cyan lark your packages are safe lad come out of hiding

[quasi hinge]

I actually read that book when I was like 12

[visual ore]

Yeah thanks for that. It's literally been only a couple weeks and I have to keep tracker of the dude because he has been making me purchase a lot of stuff earlier

[quasi hinge]

I had no idea lol

[tropic urchin]

He always starts off unreasonable and extreme and works his way back for renegotiations, makes for nice headlines tho

[orchid folio]

when he realized hes just pissing off the people who are supposed to vote for him lmao

man i really want a different color for the accent piece on the alumaze

whats the point of an accent piece when theres no alternative aaaa

could have just built it into the case

[cyan lark]

😌

[little glen]

You can make one or get one made

[orchid folio]

ehhh

[little glen]

Not that difficult just pick up a block of wood and use a knife

[cyan lark]

Thanks for the update. Not sure what the US gov't would have done with a keeb mat anyhow.

[tropic urchin]

Am kinda excited for my exarch maladaar switches to see how light this spring is

[little glen]

You‘ll get there eventually

[orchid folio]

its gonna look shit if i do it

[tropic urchin]

Probably sic K-9 unit on it

[cyan lark]

Never even heard of those switches!

[orchid folio]

i tried to 3d print at my friends place but the texture is weird

[tropic urchin]

POM 🤓

[cyan lark]

All I'm seeing is WoW references T_T

[tropic urchin]

But I call them the exarch maladaar switches bc it looks like the armor of an old TBC dungeon boss

[cyan lark]

Ohhh

Colorscheme?

[tropic urchin]

This dude is POM material

[cyan lark]

I appreciate the rebranding 🙂

[tropic urchin]

They are about as ugly as the mismatched gear during the TBC days

[sacred elm]

bro got marvel rivals character switches

https://tenor.com/view/magneto-stairs-steps-marvel-rivals-gif-10783226464116706309

[tropic urchin]

What do you think, Chat 🤓

[cyan lark]

I think they have a unique beauty

[sacred elm]

You have two options 🫵 🤬 , you end the stream and we discuss this or I leave 🫵 🤬

[tropic urchin]

A streamer sampled that and tried to put it into a rap song I was dying yesterday

Shit is so out of pocket

[sacred elm]

noway

[chilly socket]

does someone play fortntie with a switch with less travel and is it noticeable? i am considering the lekker 45v2 and the geon raws but the only thing that is keeping me from buying the geons is the travel.

[tropic urchin]

I never tried lekkers, but raws and Jade pros all felt pretty normal to me coming from other MX boards

I never noticed it

[cyan lark]

I play other games and it’s just something you get used to. It’s not a huge difference.

[tropic urchin]

I think RAWs will have the better QoL to them for stability and sound, but up to you

[sacred elm]

get raws, you will get used to travel in a day and they will feel better because of less wobble

[quasi hinge]

I play an FPS like it and the shorter travel distance is nice

I was skeptical at first

I actually like them better than 4.0 now

[tropic urchin]

If you like super fast response and actuation I’d get 40g RAWs and get 52.5g geon pingless on the side in case you like the 50g side more

I’m using 42.5g and it’s super snappy

[chilly socket]

alr ty i will try them out

[untold wigeon]

what modding can I try to improve the sound of my 80he?

[sacred elm]

different switches and plate

[untold wigeon]

which switch is this?

and plate

[sacred elm]

most popular switches rn are jade pros, geon raws and ttc poms

[tropic urchin]

If you like switches with clack: jade pro + RAW, TTC POMs are max stability but with some sharpness ($1 per switch as well)

[sacred elm]

and there are carbon fiber, fr4, alu plates

[tropic urchin]

Popular plates: PC (if you want muted experience), FR4 (balanced for clack/deeper sound), Alu, CF (near max clack and very stiff)

[untold wigeon]

I wanna make it sound thocc

like creamy

the default sounds cheap

[tropic urchin]

Thocc and creamy aren’t possible and also counteract each other imo

If you like the current pc plate and don’t want something super clacky, I’d get RAW HE switches and see how you like it and start from there

[kind helm]

https://tenor.com/view/ah-shit-here-we-go-again-gta-sa-cj-gta-again-gif-20425950

[sacred elm]

thocc

[tropic urchin]

Start slow, and see how you like it

[untold wigeon]

when you mean raw, is that the linear?

[sacred elm]

yes

[tropic urchin]

They’re all linear, but yeah

Geonworks RAW He

[untold wigeon]

My previous keeb is the cidoo v87. I wanna make it as close as that if not thocc

[sacred elm]

get jade pros, lube them, put polyfill inside the case

[untold wigeon]

does any keycap fits?

[sacred elm]

yes, most of them

[tropic urchin]

99% but low profile I believe does not

[untold wigeon]

alright. I guess I'll wait for another 3rd party cases

thanks guys

[stone flax]

why

[untold wigeon]

the next batch for the gt80 is around may

[polar girder]

If you transition to HE, abandon all hopes and dreams of “thock”

Sincerely, a wishful Thocker

[chilly socket]

what kind of switches are the omnipoint 1.0. i have the apex pro 2019 and the spacebar is the definiton of rattle idk if the sound can get worse

[sacred elm]

apex pro 🤮

[chilly socket]

and the abs keycaps xd

[polar girder]

Sheeeeeesh

[cyan lark]

Venom?

[polar girder]

And everything yeah

7u with raws and accoutrements

[tropic urchin]

Holy items

[polar girder]

Free shipping had to take advantage

Didn’t want to get stuck without any Geon items lol

Only thing I kind of wish maybe I got YIKBxTypePlus stabs cuz they seem perfectly venom compatible. Hoping SW Knight stabs work all the same

[surreal lynx]

oooo

looks nice

[kind helm]

functionally should be the same.

moment of truth man, bigsly with alu and raw? sheeeeeeeeesssh indeed

[polar girder]

Lolz

[stray tiger]

Nice which case you putting it in?

[polar girder]

Frog

I think I might switch from Wooting to Venom 😅

South facing LED for caps lock on cosmos kit and 7u and 8k

Going to try it out and see

[kind helm]

if you dont like the light you can turn it off, but gotta update to the beta firmware at least when i was doing it

[harsh dove]

I’m definitely gonna grab that 65HE

And Machina case

[kind helm]

all the mods have venom

LOLL

[chilly mural]

perfect year to release wooting 60he pro

[harsh dove]

When Wooting makes a 65 I’ll grab one too

[kind helm]

coming not soon enough ™

[chilly mural]

but a numpad would be nicer

[cyan lark]

Honestly probably the same for me.

[harsh dove]

I like how Geon basically makes all his stuff Wooting compatible

[ionic breach]

we love geon

[cyan lark]

So far the only product I've used by him/them is raw he which I have mixed feelings about tbh

[harsh dove]

I like the switch, my complaints are the clips and diffuser

Not good for removal

[cyan lark]

Same. If they made a better built one the only other issue I have with it is the slight sticking at the top end.

It feels good otherwise and sounds good

[harsh dove]

I may try his new switches

[ionic breach]

yea but not sure if graingold are even willing to fix it honestly

[harsh dove]

Gateron didn’t even bother fixing the Maxes right? So probably not

[slim drift]

whats a good place to order an fr4 plate from

kbd fans legit costs 30 bucks shipping bruh

also what are some good stabs for wooting

[kind helm]

kbdfan through ali

[slim drift]

alr gotcji

[kind helm]

skill issue

i just did it again last night it was fine

[harsh dove]

Nah they suck lol

Multiple peeps have broken those clips

Those switches have a skill issue

Be stronger

[kind helm]

i legit broke more clip on my jade pro

[harsh dove]

lmao really?

[cyan lark]

I've broken many clips/legs on geons, never a single one on any other switch on my boards.

[harsh dove]

I haven't broken any jade pros

RAWs are the only switch I've struggled with removing

[sacred elm]

jade pros have way better build

[harsh dove]

Everything else is easy

[sacred elm]

raws are built like garbage

[kind helm]

tbf i might have been a bit rough with it

but yea actually xD

[harsh dove]

[tropic urchin]

Leijin

[sacred elm]

beon

[chilly mural]

Leon

[tropic urchin]

thats too far, beon has nice springs

[sacred elm]

yea

beon pringles

[harsh dove]

Yeah I mean I'm not hating on it lol. Just my personal criticisms

I still think they're good switches

[tropic urchin]

they should be labeled permanent switches, bc they're not going anywhere

[harsh dove]

Basically

Once installed, no removing

[chilly mural]

as a permanent switch, it's still really nice

[tropic urchin]

true

i just wish they didnt make a separate light diffuser

its just toxic to remove

[chilly mural]

the only problem is lubing it

in 2-3 years

hopefully Vekker V3 Pro exist by then

[slim drift]

is this a good plate

[harsh dove]

People typically don't like flex cuts

creates a thin sound

[slim drift]

idk what that means

so like whats a good plate for my keyboard cuz this is its current sound https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UT8OYhNAvxc?feature=share

[harsh dove]

See how the plate has a bunch of cuts in it?

[slim drift]

ye

[harsh dove]

Vs something like this

[slim drift]

mmmmmmmmmmmm

ok ok I see

[harsh dove]

https://kbdfans.com/products/tofu60-redux-plate

There's the link to that one , it's wooting compatible even though it doesn't say it

I've tested them

[slim drift]

kbd fans idk about it cuz the shipping is 40 bucs

[harsh dove]

Ah okay

[slim drift]

ima tryna find an alternative

[harsh dove]

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805863863840.html

[slim drift]

would u recommend the pc or an fr4 plate

[harsh dove]

What switches do you have now?

[slim drift]

raw he

unlubed just factory

[harsh dove]

Do you like clack?

like clacky sound

[slim drift]

I like a poppy sound profile

more on that side

[harsh dove]

Try FR4 or POM plate

[slim drift]

alr gotchu

ur goated asf

what about good stabilizers

cuz I feel like my space bar is a little rattly

[harsh dove]

Which PCB do you have?

[slim drift]

stock wooting

[harsh dove]

Did you lube and tune the stock stabs?

[slim drift]

nope not yet

[harsh dove]

Try adding more lube to them first

Do you have lube for the wires?

like Molykote or Dielectric grease?

[slim drift]

nope I am planning to order them along side the plate

[harsh dove]

Ah okay

[slim drift]

I have nevr heard of that

I ahve heard of krytox

[harsh dove]

Krytox is for plastic on plastic contact mainly

You can use it on the wires if you have nothing else

[polar girder]

Nice

[harsh dove]

but Molykote, Dielectric Grease, or BDZ are what most use on wires, or metal on plastic contact

[slim drift]

mmmm okay I gotchu I gotchu

whats the difference

between moly and dielectric

[harsh dove]

Just different viscosities mainly

those are thicker than krytox

[slim drift]

alr gothcu

[tropic urchin]

Tracking number has been sent for my Pomegranates

[harsh dove]

in other words they stay in place better so to speak whereas krytox will kinda leak out everywhere

[tropic urchin]

I might buy some molykote for spring bag lubing on these bad boys

[tropic urchin]

Accurate

[slim drift]

so krytox for swtiches only

[harsh dove]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[tropic urchin]

I cannot be asked to lube these springs given how much krytox they’re gonna need

[harsh dove]

and the plastic stems of the stabilizers

[slim drift]

alr alr gotchu

[cyan lark]

Oil the springs instead

[harsh dove]

you can use it on those and the plastic inner housing of the stabilers too

[tropic urchin]

Ye buying some moly(kote) off Amazon

[slim drift]

alr ty ty

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UKUHXK?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

[tropic urchin]

🤙

[harsh dove]

molykote may be too thick to bag lube

try super lube

yeah what Turing sent

[tropic urchin]

Learn something new

[harsh dove]

I use that with a little plastic petri dish and shake the springs around

just a few drops

[tropic urchin]

Ty fellow NEer

[cyan lark]

Yup takes 2 seconds

Speaking of which, GL tomorrow

[sacred elm]

https://tenor.com/view/magneto-stairs-steps-marvel-rivals-gif-10783226464116706309

[tropic urchin]

If you go for a decent plastic bag, how many drops do you need

[tropic urchin]

Wait what’s tomorrow

[harsh dove]

Still just a few

[cyan lark]

Snow

[tropic urchin]

Oh 💀

[cyan lark]

5-6" around here

[tropic urchin]

There’s gonna be like 2-3 more snow occurrences

[harsh dove]

just kinda coat the bag in a layer of oil, doesn't need to have like a puddle lol

[cyan lark]

I use a tiny tupperware

[tropic urchin]

Ah so a few drops here and there to spread it out evenly

[harsh dove]

then I put a bit of air in it and shake em

but I don't use a bag anymore

[cyan lark]

I just keep one for oil and one for krytox so I can be lazy AF when lubing

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[tropic urchin]

Magneto main Inc

I really liked CF plate to start, but I think near max stiffness also takes away from crisp movement

But FR4 too light sounding, but maybe alu will be my new goat

[harsh dove]

yeah alu is my fave

[cyan lark]

In reality: never satisfied, always looking for greener grass 🙂

[harsh dove]

yeah iim always mixing it up

[cyan lark]

I've sort of embraced that with these preference based things

[polar girder]

Now I’m scared for Raws

[cyan lark]

I consider them "seasonal" and have others I like around so I can rotate. Such as headphones.

[tropic urchin]

For switches yeah, plates legit there’s some greviances imo

[cyan lark]

My only real grievance w/ the alternate plates is the PITA of the standoffs when you take it apart and some of them run away

[tropic urchin]

Oh mine are always firm in place 💀

[cyan lark]

Maybe I gotta lift heavier T_T

[tropic urchin]

Need tighter screw driver

[ionic breach]

wait

does wooting get affected by the new tarrifs?

cos they export from their factory to us directly

[harsh dove]

lmao just never remove them once installed

[ionic breach]

the US should just migrate to not being in US

[cyan lark]

Wooting will have to pay the tariffs when the import them. It's up to them whether they pass that cost along to the customer or not.

I assume they will if this is a long term thing

[tropic urchin]

The southern border loophole is being fixed 🤣

[lilac edge]

Anyone know where I can get the same LEDs that are in the wooting two HE

[tropic urchin]

Can’t straddle the line anymore /s

[ionic breach]

you can contact support to see if u can get some off them

if not they will tell u where u can get them

[cyan lark]

If you can find out the exact LED part there's suppliers that will likely stock them like mouser and newark

[lilac edge]

Ya I broke 2 of my leds and I wanted to fix it so ya

[stone flax]

https://drop.com/buy/kbdfans-tiger-lite-gaming-80-mechanical-keyboard-kit-v2?defaultSelectionIds=990070#signupv2

59 dollar tiger lite gaming with venom pcb

may shipping

[cyan lark]

Isn't that less than the cost of the PCB itself?

[stone flax]

yep

[kind helm]

small rectangle is the led side

i just pull raw like that

[ionic breach]

ya no drop hates money

that margin is negative

[cyan lark]

I don't need it but this feels like one of those situations where they're paying me to get it

[polar girder]

Bro wtf

That’s absurd

[polar girder]

Fr

[cyan lark]

Well I guess I found my cheap travel keyboard 🤷

[kind helm]

drop though, me scared. probably takes like 69 years to ship

[cyan lark]

So weird picking up something from drop and getting billed by Corsair Memory

[kind helm]

but yea the price is W

[harsh dove]

yall think the purple would go with gmk symbiote?

might be too dark purple idk

[cyan lark]

I would have immediately thought of your atomic purp

[harsh dove]

That too

[kind helm]

you think tiger lite as well now?

[harsh dove]

its $59 why not

basically a new video game

[cyan lark]

It's like a really expensive sandwich

[harsh dove]

but a whole keeb instead

[kind helm]

[stone flax]

may

[harsh dove]

I feel like Symbiote looks good on silver cases

[kind helm]

i feel transparent black is better for purple but you already have a transparent black 80he

[harsh dove]

Yeah

I tried it on here before

[kind helm]

personally would go for a transparent white one, because purple later on its hard to pair with stuff

if you dont have one of those for 80he already :3

[harsh dove]

I like it on silver frog

[cyan lark]

^ Dig that a lot

[kind helm]

purple it is then, i feel like mr cam just tryin to find new ways to spend money. Plus 59 even just for the pcb alone is not too crazy, since its a HE pcb.

[polar girder]

It’s stupid price

[tropic urchin]

Oooh that looks nice af

Well proportioned

[kind helm]

yea it is nice even if mr cam wants to upgrade to a different case later on. since venom has daughter board.

[chilly socket]

pom or fr4 plate i plan on buying this https://torontokeyboardman.ca/products/wooting-80he-modding-kit?variant=44128533512387 idk is there something better out there current build is pcr ghost wooting 80he with geon raw

idk about adding foam or tape

[cyan lark]

Preference on plate material. What are you hoping to get out of it?

[chilly socket]

deep sound with some mids

[cyan lark]

I haven't tried pom but it's the softer of the two, and I'd think the softer you go the deeper the sound. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in.

[tropic urchin]

How do you like the default PC plate

I think depending on that answer should get you where you wanna be. IMO if you like it and don’t want to get clackier, POM since it will be softer than FR4, but FR4 is a nice balanced plate that is a 50/50 between deep/clack

[ionic breach]

i wouldnt recommend buying either if you have not tried the wooting yet

iirc you havent recieved urs even

[chilly socket]

i will try it then and look if i like it

[tropic urchin]

Wooting default comes with a PC plate (very soft and flexible), Pom will be a little stiffer from it and FR4 is a little stiffer from POM.

[errant tundra]

wsp

[tropic urchin]

Give it like 3-7 days when you get yours and see if you want it a little stiffer or a decent bit stiffer

[cyan lark]

Isn't pom softer than PC?

[tropic urchin]

Who knows maybe you’ll like the PC plate as is

[kind helm]

nah

[tropic urchin]

#🪛│modding_faq message

It’s 1 above PC

[tropic urchin]

@cyan lark if you were to try and remove one of your Poms how difficult is it

Random Q

On a scale of 1 to raw

[cyan lark]

Not bad, but the diffuser is separate which takes it down a notch

2

[tropic urchin]

Okay so not horrific

[cyan lark]

Nah

[tropic urchin]

Ok cool

I can live with that

[sweet oak]

I see modding faq has been fed new content

[kind helm]

skill issue :V

[ionic breach]

[kind helm]

so beautiful

[ionic breach]

now making this

pink or green?

[cyan lark]

Both, change by seasons

[kind helm]

base on this, pink i feel

[ionic breach]

yea

I'll do pink for now

green will probably fit where I want to display it later but that's when I can actually buy the shelf

[chilly socket]

are the linear45 and 60 the same switch with another spring?

[tropic urchin]

Green looks too lego-y

[kind helm]

this is nicer than the race car lego stuff that i tend to see

i feel

[tropic urchin]

Pink hides it better and makes it look unique I guess

[tropic urchin]

Not a bad idea

[ionic breach]

oooo, pink it is

[kind helm]

the season matches

omg

LOLOLOL

[tropic urchin]

Someone quickly tell Ubisoft

[kind helm]

cant wait for that company to shut down

[tropic urchin]

Amen brotha

As a part French person I disavow Ubisoft’s existence as a company

[kind helm]

seeing the shit they are doing to that latest assassin's creed, i am scared for them to finally try to fuck with china next

[tropic urchin]

LMFAO

OMG I HOPE THEY DO

I was excited for a Japanese AC game, before I realized they just made Temu Ghosts of Tsushima

[kind helm]

i still dont understand why they picked a black dude to do it. nothing against black people, i would be equally mad if the character is white

the story is in japan bro, just make a japanese character

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I agree

Japanese reviewers shitting on it is always so funny

Why pretend to have authority on Japanese history and then your entire source is some dude quoting himself on Wikipedia

And then you gotta backtrack and say “ooopsies, we just wanted to do something creative!”

Game looks like 2014 far cry gameplay ffs

[kind helm]

the last good one i played is the black flag

[tropic urchin]

It lacks authenticity

And feels manufactured

[kind helm]

i played the one in england and that one was meh

[tropic urchin]

Imagine assassin creed odyssey and it’s some French guy with a hidden baguette dagger

Great job Ubisoft

Well done

[bitter dove]

i replaced the key on my enter on 80he and now it feels kind of stiff, even when i put the original keycap on

do yall know why

[cyan lark]

Stiff as in sticking

On bottom out?

[kind helm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdKIQSwkYHI this trailer fcks so hard

i feel old

[cyan lark]

AC4 was the last one I played. Boats go straight for my heart.

[harsh dove]

Last one I played too

used to be a big AC fan

[cyan lark]

Same. 1 was great on release, and 2 was bananas.

[harsh dove]

yeah I really liked 3 as well

[cyan lark]

Never did play it

[kind helm]

i am buying kcd2 just for this pair of glasses

already seeing some reviews on it, looking good

[harsh dove]

I downloaded that last night, haven't played yet

[cyan lark]

I need to give KCD a real shake

[harsh dove]

Supposed to get my 9800x3d and some other stuffs today

[cyan lark]

I barely made it through the tutorial the one time I fired it up, if I even did

[harsh dove]

You like history?

[cyan lark]

Nope not really

[harsh dove]

you're cooked

[cyan lark]

You bet I am

[harsh dove]

lol kidding

nah I think you may like it idk

[kind helm]

nah i dont care for history either, i kinda play kcd like skyrim that i dont need to mod

[bitter dove]

its not sticking but

[harsh dove]

Yeah its a good game just in general

[bitter dove]

its not moving as easily

like its quite literally stiffer

[cyan lark]

Trying to remember the medieval battle game I loved on PC like 15y ago. You recruited folks and went into battle w/ them in 3rd or 1st person...

[harsh dove]

oooo just sold my old monitor on ebaybay

[kind helm]

mount and blade?

[cyan lark]

Yup

[harsh dove]

Yeah

sounds like M&B

[bitter dove]

'''''''''''''

[kind helm]

early game is fun, late game feels like a grind

[bitter dove]

'

''''

''

''

oh sorry

[harsh dove]

what are you spamming for?

[cyan lark]

I dunno if this is anything at all like M&B. Not in terms of recruiting but combat/environment

[harsh dove]

lol

[bitter dove]

didnt realize LOL

[cyan lark]

Guessing they're testing their keys 😄

[bitter dove]

i was removing keycap

[kind helm]

bro testing his keys in the chat

XD

[harsh dove]

We all been there

[bitter dove]

the enter key just feels a bit stiff

after replacing the keycap idk why

not really a bit it is pretty stiff

[cyan lark]

I dunno, make sure it's really on there, i.e. press it down firmly?

[harsh dove]

Maybe see if the stabilizer is installed correctly?

[bitter dove]

okay i just pressed it down and up a bit when i removed it

[cyan lark]

But it sounds like all they did was swap caps back and forth

[bitter dove]

and now its normal

thats very weird

yea butter smooth now LOL

[kind helm]

probably the stab stem got stuck at a weird angle

[bitter dove]

probably

i moved the stab stems around a bit too

[cyan lark]

Do you know which switch you're using? Could be you need a long stem or some spacers

[harsh dove]

yeah but I've had times where the stabilizer can come up/dislocated if they're clip in's for example when pulling up on the keycap

[bitter dove]

gateron jades

[harsh dove]

rare but has happened before

[cyan lark]

Ah good to know

[bitter dove]

okay i really pressed the enter key down on one of the sides

and now its back to being weird

[cyan lark]

Jades do have shorter travel distance, so see if pressing on the sides tilts the stabilized keys

Yeah

You may wanna get long poles for your stabs, or spacers

[bitter dove]

\

\

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/ah-shit-here-we-go-again-ah-shit-cj-gta-gta-san-andreas-gif-13933485

[bitter dove]

oh again sorry

long poles?'

[kind helm]

press the two sides of the key cap evenly

you should be able to feel if they are tilted

[bitter dove]

yeah

its tilted

'

well not when i press it down

but when its tilted it moves smoothly, when i balance them and it goes in place, it isnt

i put the pudding keycaps on it

hyperx ones

[harsh dove]

Yeah you'll want better keycaps with tighter stem tolerances or long pole stabilizers or geon stem spacers

[bitter dove]

it feels like the enter key just got dampened

let me try putting back the og ones

[harsh dove]

cheapest option is geon stem spacers

[bitter dove]

the og one is kinda weird now too

im not sure

did i ruin my kb...

\

[kind helm]

nah just need some time to fix it

[bitter dove]

some time using the og keycap?

the og keycap tilts the same way so im not sure

when i press hard on one side

[kind helm]

i think first thing is tell us what switch you are using

[bitter dove]

gateron jades

[cyan lark]

You probably just never pressed hard on one side before

[kind helm]

then yea geon spacer

[bitter dove]

now it just magically fixed itself

im very confused

[kind helm]

for now, press down evenly on both side of the key cap to install it

if it is tilted just press slightly harder on the other side

until it is set evenly

[tropic urchin]

Why am I so pressed waiting for switches I never wanted before 💀, this life is a paradox

[cyan lark]

Desire is the root of all suffering

[kind helm]

because the chat is feeding you copium and you cant stop sucking

it's in our dna to want more

[harsh dove]

gud game

[harsh dove]

then you're 85 in the hospital bed wishing you did more

this is pretty much exactly what my old advisor told me when he pushed me to do phd

[cyan lark]

Too early in the day for philosophy in #🔧│keyboard_modding

and now i am in hell

but yea i agree :3

in a way

[harsh dove]

Yeah ima go spread my philosophy in Kingdom Come, and spread my word to the people

[cyan lark]

Is that a thing?!

[harsh dove]

idk lmao

dont think so

[kind helm]

jesus christ be praised.

Just recruit a bunch of followers

make a cult

nah fck that, venom60he is the best, salvation is a good case, I am happy with raw and jade pro.

Just me preaching to my cat

[kind helm]

tofu 2.0 though, i have to agree with what mr mj said, its meh

[little glen]

caseless + lekkerv1 with click leaf

[kind helm]

for 180 it was overpriced

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

or maybe all i need is a gmk set for it

[calm pulsar]

sniffing that tofium

[cyan lark]

ew

[harsh dove]

lol wtf is experimental

its after Ultra

[kind helm]

flex that 4090

[calm pulsar]

like in the first game, even crazier settings

[harsh dove]

Guess we pick that one then

been forever since I played the first

[cyan lark]

Experimental assumes you are under the influence and going on a journey

[kind helm]

there was a mod that got taked down. with optimized settings. and that allowed my old 3070 to run that game on 76 fps smoothly

[harsh dove]

I love how my only two fps options are 35 and 175

nothing inbetween

[kind helm]

turn the s44t off and use rtss brother

[calm pulsar]

lmao

[harsh dove]

I already do use rtss

to cap fps

[calm pulsar]

maybe disable vsync also?

[harsh dove]

yeah I do

[sweet oak]

eat a keycap, that usually solves it

[kind helm]

the UI looks nicer than the first game, but the graphics looks similar(which to me is actually a good thing, hopefully its not too demanding)

[cyan lark]

I believe they're using the same engine

[calm pulsar]

yeah ui seems more polished and graphics are similarly insane, but with characters looking better

[harsh dove]

[cyan lark]

yesyesyes

[sweet oak]

so 6090 exclusive

[cyan lark]

Tell us what you find in the future

[harsh dove]

9090 exclusive

[tropic urchin]

Me with my 4090 playing game 1: “bitch I am from the future”

[gleaming crow]

does anyone know how to get rid of the pinging noise near where the usb c cable plugs into my 60he

idk what to do for it

[cyan lark]

Pinging noise from the USB port?

Can you take a vid?

[gleaming crow]

yeah one sec

[harsh dove]

Try to adjust how to cable sits/rest when in use or find some polyfill or foam you can put near there

or if you're tray mounted that could be a culprit

[cyan lark]

I just dunno what could be pinging there especially if it's tray mounted, should be bolted down pretty solidly

[kind helm]

tray mount everything is pinging

[harsh dove]

It can happen sometimes if things line up funny

burger mount or gummy mount can fix it sometimes

[kind helm]

friction mount with silicone cover i think is pretty elegant for tray mount case

[harsh dove]

Going Native AA with all Experimental

[kind helm]

i cant wait for bro to actually get in to the game and see the fps

[cyan lark]

Oh no I just hit the whistle button in KCD and my headphones are open backed. My dog is now barking his head off.

[kind helm]

LMFAO

ain no way

ultra realism right there

[gleaming crow]

It’s the salvation 60 case so it’s like spring mounted or whatever those things are called

[kind helm]

oh yea okay just move the pcb down a bit

[gleaming crow]

ion know how to do that on this case

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah this is common in the salvation tbh

Yeah just have to adjust it a bit

[gleaming crow]

yeah i think im just gonna mess with it a bit till it goes away

its only on the escape key and sometimes the 1 key

if the cable's in a certain spot

[kind helm]

take off the cable, undo the 2 screws a tiny bit, then shift the board in the case to kinda center it a bit better. then tighten the screws again

Loved fzero, but only ever played the original snes and gamecube ones

[harsh dove]

Ah okay

Yeah was so fun as a kid

The 🐐

[atomic plaza]

Everything in Metroid 3 is just amazing

[cyan lark]

Did a playthrough this summer along with zero mission (first time, was great!)

[atomic plaza]

Zero mission is really good but it's probably the easiest Metroid game, it's also very short imo

[cyan lark]

It was great fun, but sure I don't remember meeting much resistance.

[atomic plaza]

My best time (I didn't try much) was around 1h47min and around 74% collected items 😅

It's the only Metroid game that I've finished 3 or 4 time

But I love Metroid

[cyan lark]

The only one in the series I haven't completed is 2 (the OG, did the remake). Just too boring, and I have a pretty healthy appetite for boring.

[untold wigeon]

when u plan on selling me olivia?😁

Yup, didn't complete it though. I think I just got distracted at the time, but it was amazing for sure.

They have a discord if you want to replay it with some new feature/bug fixe 😅

[cyan lark]

Nice, maybe that will be this summer's metroid playthrough 🙂

They even port it on mobile and now there's a randomizer and a Speedrun mod (with unique seeds)

[untold wigeon]

yeah xD

[cyan lark]

Wow! Speedrun is above my capabilities, but a randomizer could be rad. Been meaning to try one.

[atomic plaza]

I know that there's some Metroid 3 randomizer and I even saw one that was a randomizer with Link to the past at the same time, really crazy and unique randomizer (it was maybe like 8 years ago 😅)

[cyan lark]

Same I think one of those two are what sparked my interest while watching GDQ some years ago

[atomic plaza]

What is GDQ ? 😅

[cyan lark]

Oh wow olivia is beautiful, don't blame you.
