[ionic breach]

oh stab pads i meant

i didnt notice that lmao

[calm pulsar]

yeah cause it's so much time to lube parts which will get lube on them anyways by the stem

[tropic urchin]

Aight so I’ll go hard on stems like I did for Jade pros and hope I don’t bork it

Should be hard to do since TTC ain’t got that lube $

Actually this should be sick af now my tab and caps lock keys won’t be fuckin slanted sideways anymore

Ahhhhhhh

[calm pulsar]

lol yeah when I did my 1st version of jade knights, I was surprised how clean and stable tab and caps were, which is the case with poms too

[tropic urchin]

I got so annoyed by the constant see sawing of mine

[calm pulsar]

im putting these switches to good use by playing gta vice city

[quasi hinge]

They feel solid in mine

[quasi hinge]

Best game music

[calm pulsar]

fact

[tropic urchin]

I need to start playing more shit

Once I get thru KCD1-2

FPS gonna pull me back in unfortunately

[calm pulsar]

I have kcd2 downloaded on steam, gotta play it too
I played like 1/3 of kcd1, but then just watched a story recap cause it would take so long to play through it xd

[tropic urchin]

I’ve just been speed running the main story and skipping all the side shit

Gotta finish dead space, RE4, play silent hill 2 remake, then play thru ME1-2 and finish ME3

Such a shame what’s happened to BioWare

[calm pulsar]

damn so many ongoing games

[tropic urchin]

I have a terminal case of video game ADHD

[calm pulsar]

speedrunning to see the sword-crossing action in part 2?

[tropic urchin]

Mostly just wanna see the build up, and I’ve enjoyed the dialogue and world building despite it looking skyrim esque dated

My expectation is the 2nd is gonna blow me away compared to 1

Polish devs don’t miss

[calm pulsar]

yeah, I was more like joking about expanded romance options xd

but yeah I think kcd2 looks way better

the faces are soo much better

[tropic urchin]

Didn’t even know that was a thing 💀

Now I see what you’re referring to 😭😭😭😭😭

Oh hell no

You freaky @calm pulsar

[calm pulsar]

ohh btw I remembered a weird fact

[silver nest]

bro tape mod is such a cheat code

i added 3 layers of tape and it sounds so good

thoccccccccc

[calm pulsar]

the actor for Hans tagged an instagram picture of some russian streamer and said smth like "I've never seen a woman more beautiful", but this streamer is biological man💀

[tropic urchin]

Speechless tbh

[silver nest]

the spacebar sounded really hollow before

[tropic urchin]

On that note I’m going to bed

[silver nest]

added some tape under the space bar also

[calm pulsar]

lmao gn gn

[quasi hinge]

Forgot to say lol

Yes stab pads were removed

[ionic breach]

hows the pom without pads?

[quasi hinge]

Simply the best

[ionic breach]

damn

[quasi hinge]

My keyboard has never felt better

The ttc poms are ahead of their time

Super stable and firm

Spring back

Just fyi its all on a CF plate

[ionic breach]

ye

[quasi hinge]

Sound improvement too which was an added bonus

[ionic breach]

im quite tempted to mod my 80he with ttc and alu plate

but not sure since i have a lot of things i need to get soon

my wallet is crying

[quasi hinge]

Wait for wootings poms

They might be cheaper but slightly heavier

And 100% need lube for the og poms

[ionic breach]

ye wooting poms and a plate would be like 100 bucks probably

[calm pulsar]

you have summoned the cult leader

[quasi hinge]

Before any tax and ahipping

[ionic breach]

ye

[quasi hinge]

Praise be upon him

[glacial wind]

What if wooting has them on the store already and it went live during this talk

[ionic breach]

dk if i want to do it

[glacial wind]

Better refresh to be safe

[ionic breach]

especially since im still happy with raws

[quasi hinge]

It is the goat switc

[quasi hinge]

I was happy but ignorance is bliss

I could not go back to raws

They are good

[ionic breach]

ye i might just coast this ignorance wave

[quasi hinge]

But TTCs are just so stable and smooth without mushiness

[quasi hinge]

Wait for the hordes who will praise them after they buy from wooting

[ionic breach]

lmao

[calm pulsar]

doesnt seem to be the case

[glacial wind]

What if it went live in the time you typed that message

Better f5 to be safe

[calm pulsar]

pressing f5 on my smooth af ttc pom switch

[silver nest]

@quasi hinge poms or raws?

[polar girder]

Need

[fluid ravine]

New trend: POMS?

[calm pulsar]

new cult by sno

[fluid ravine]

Is this da way

https://tenor.com/view/dis-is-da-wae-this-is-da-wae-this-is-the-way-da-wae-ugandan-knuckles-gif-25797533

[calm pulsar]

I want a switch that sounds like my franken and feels like poms, but it's probably not quite possible with the way that poms are designed

but if I had to choose, the smoothness and stability probably wins over the sound of jade knights

I wonder if koms would be closer to a brighter sound, but I also heard that koms are an older design

[polar girder]

Yeah I need that

[fluid ravine]

Oh shit so objectively POMS are the "best" in terms of stability and smoothness?

[polar girder]

Still saving my Ali express coins lol

[fluid ravine]

Smart

[calm pulsar]

yes

[fluid ravine]

So we just need to work on sound now for these POMS

Ok well actually

I shouldn't word it like that

Still a preference thing

[calm pulsar]

whats funny is they are probably very close to the promised thock lmao

[fluid ravine]

Ima say wtv once wooting poms come out

[polar girder]

I think with HE sound is just cooked

[fluid ravine]

Deadass?

[fluid ravine]

Oh fuck

[fluid ravine]

HAHAV

[fluid ravine]

No fr-

[quasi hinge]

First are poms and 2nd are raws

[fluid ravine]

Need my venom MX

[calm pulsar]

well they are deep/lower pitched sounding so kinda yeah
https://youtu.be/VkZqRU6GXVc

[quasi hinge]

POMs are goat rn

[fluid ravine]

Sadge I can't open this rn

My WiFi dead as fuck

This stupid bitch hasn't been fixed since 1pm

It's been 10 hours

[calm pulsar]

its my sound test in the frog, maybe you've seen it

[polar girder]

oh man

[fluid ravine]

With POMS?

Maybe

[calm pulsar]

yesh

[polar girder]

yeah i'm about to just send my raws away in my wooting i think lol

[fluid ravine]

Can you DM me it so I can look at it once I got WiFi

Life is testing my patience rn

[calm pulsar]

done

[fluid ravine]

DHL shit, WiFi, my Amazon order (I order some compression pants for vb lmao)

[quasi hinge]

As long as you move to POMs 😂

[fluid ravine]

What else
Frog mini Leggera

[polar girder]

lol exactly

Just need to order my plate for venom

Only thing holding me back

[fluid ravine]

Whatchu getting

[polar girder]

Nylon or PP idk

Haven’t tested yet so waiting

[fluid ravine]

Oh where to get?

[polar girder]

I have both for Wooting but lazy

Hypekeyboarss

[fluid ravine]

Hype makes it for venom now?

[polar girder]

Yeah

[fluid ravine]

Oh fuk

Guess I could look at that later

Later later...

But ima stick to alu or fr4 for now

And get my MX build situated

[calm pulsar]

fr4 is the play for me rn, its like the softest sounding of all the dense plates, kinda inbetween

[fluid ravine]

Still dunno what switches lol

[fluid ravine]

Balanced?

[polar girder]

Yeah I should’ve got fr4 instead of alu

[fluid ravine]

I meant it's the same material as the pcb

[polar girder]

Oh well

[calm pulsar]

I still have the geon x hmx 3mm travel MX switches, but I need me venom MX lol

[calm pulsar]

yeah

[calm pulsar]

yup

[fluid ravine]

Now I think abt it, since I have both plates and 2 sets of raws I could have a set of key caps and switches to switch from time to time if I want

[quasi hinge]

This is CF plate just fyi

[polar girder]

Dang

[calm pulsar]

I think you could potentially get away with getting an MX fr4 frog mini plate from geon, but it's still kinda risky cause the plate isnt fixed to pcb

[fluid ravine]

How are they?

[calm pulsar]

I like them in hand, they are like the typical good MX clack that I always wanted on HE, and my franken was the closest to that

[fluid ravine]

Why not just get the actual fr4 plate itself

[fluid ravine]

I see

[calm pulsar]

frog mini venom fr4 is out of stock

[polar girder]

Yeah he makes the frog venom he fr4

It wasn’t when I ordered

[fluid ravine]

I needed some guidance for my MX build

[polar girder]

I just picked alu instead

RIP me

[fluid ravine]

Ripp

[calm pulsar]

ahh ic

dam

[fluid ravine]

Ic

[calm pulsar]

well alu is still nice imo

[fluid ravine]

Last time I checked it wasn't

[calm pulsar]

I like dense plates

[fluid ravine]

Can't wait

Is alu the way for MX arc?

[polar girder]

I should just build it lol

Raw on alu

[fluid ravine]

It'd be fun if I buy another leggera for my MX lol

[polar girder]

Then test Wooting plate later

[fluid ravine]

Leggera acrylic

[calm pulsar]

tbh I got no proper MX modding experience, but im going to dive into that once I get my luminkey lx60 and venom mx

[fluid ravine]

Eeee alr

[calm pulsar]

I got the fr4 as extra

[fluid ravine]

I've been looking into Dr Dave's MX shit

His stuff makes me hapoy

Even CAMS time to time when he get the chance

[polar girder]

My problem is I hate taking switches out of the board

[fluid ravine]

Aww yeeeee

[polar girder]

LOATHE

[fluid ravine]

Ok for HE those shit are a bitch

[calm pulsar]

lol actually I forgot about that cause I had the wooting in my frog, I just took it out and installed venom without disassembling wooting

[fluid ravine]

To take out

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[glacial wind]

I love that the last geon update in their server is the tariff tax is back on again but it’s suspended kinda for now so no one knows wtf is going on

[fluid ravine]

[glacial wind]

just a mess of no one knows how much their stuff will end up costing now lol

[fluid ravine]

Geon you better get leggera to international NOW

[calm pulsar]

dark days for keyboard modding in the US

[fluid ravine]

Before it's too late...

You want my money right geon? Right?

[quasi hinge]

Im not optimistic about the world rn tbh

All I can say is if this Taiwan thing erupts, it was nice modding with you all 🫡

[fluid ravine]

..

My modding future is cooked

Gg
I might as well buy everything I can and go in debt with a non existent wallet

[calm pulsar]

good thing im in a cold region, they probably wouldn't want to drop nukes here

also there's a ton of oil here xd

[fluid ravine]

xd

[polar girder]

Lucky

[fluid ravine]

Wait as much as I don't know much abt all this, wtv I buy in the US from NA vendors should be fine right?

[ionic breach]

depends

[polar girder]

If it’s made in USA lol

[ionic breach]

if they source parts from china

[fluid ravine]

[ionic breach]

they still get hit anyways

[calm pulsar]

if they have the goods in stock already should be fine though?

[fluid ravine]

Frick

You

[calm pulsar]

cause they dont have to order them

[fluid ravine]

America

[ionic breach]

yea

[fluid ravine]

Oh so buy the stuff before it goes out of stock?

[quasi hinge]

Yeah

[fluid ravine]

[ionic breach]

its just material cost rising/new orders

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

Cool cool...

[quasi hinge]

Companies usually increase price per order

So they will keep current stock at the same price level until the next order (except gpus lol)

So if you want OG poms from milk tooth

better buy em before they sell out

[fluid ravine]

Mk

[quasi hinge]

could see price increase

[calm pulsar]

I hope shipping FROM the states is fine cause my lx60 is on the way to a warehouse in US

[quasi hinge]

but wooting will have cheaper if you like their switches

[fluid ravine]

Oh shit what's gonna happen to wootings pons if you say so

[fluid ravine]

O

[fluid ravine]

Better hope they hurry TF UP

[quasi hinge]

Im not sure, I think the Wooting team should announce something

but I havent heard anyone having issues yet ordering, unless you guys have

[ionic breach]

ya but the dust have not settled

[quasi hinge]

plus im not from the us

[ionic breach]

but realistically

the dust aint settling

[quasi hinge]

I think its an opening salvo for a larger trade war

[calm pulsar]

next: tariffs on goods containing ABS and PBT

[fluid ravine]

NO

[calm pulsar]

@fluid ravine ohh more options on leggera page

[little glen]

When is it coming

[calm pulsar]

silver is still the nicest of them all imo hehe

[little glen]

I need it

[calm pulsar]

should be soon now that they have this page up

[little glen]

Kinda upset i‘ll have to pay 2 billion trillion for shipping

[fluid ravine]

PLEAASEEHSKWHQHEVEJEJDNS

I'M GETTING MORE IMPATIENTTTT

[fluid ravine]

Nah fr...

[calm pulsar]

geon anticipated world events and made frog leggera cheaper for that

genius

[little glen]

Its so cheap 😭

Bro trying to bankrupt the rest of the industry

[ionic breach]

its cheaper than a tofu lmao

they really going for it

[little glen]

AND it doesnt look like shit

Crazy

[calm pulsar]

true and real

[quasi hinge]

I think it is also that custom keyboards came down in price

If its cheaper its more accessible

and to compete

The only complaints I hear aside from QC issues with wooting is the cost

[ionic breach]

wooting just doesnt have as wide or established relationships on existing manufacturers i believe

[quasi hinge]

Look at the venom, I already see many people here switching

for the same cost, you get a plastic wooting right

Opportunity for them to release something cheaper to compete

[ionic breach]

yea also they lack a lot of the knowledge about manu cases/purchasing in general

geon does a lot of stuff in regards of shipping

like the free switch case exploding wooting had is something geon has measures against

the issues eats a lot of money from wooting

but to be fair they also have to deal with a much younger customer base

at a much higher scale

so most of their efforts have to put to that

[calm pulsar]

lol

[quasi hinge]

Love that game

[quasi hinge]

Yeah mine exploded haha

[ionic breach]

b stock sales is also a thing i hope wooting does

its just good for everyone

[quasi hinge]

Hopefully they make some accessible options soon, I appreciate the optimum tech collab etc

but they also should release a simple case like the tofu at a reasonable price

IMO

[calm pulsar]

@harsh dove don't worry im getting you out of jail

[ionic breach]

admittedly wooting has no reason to do all this level of stuff

but it would be nice af

[calm pulsar]

wait what? what is the switch case exploding

[quasi hinge]

True but I think it would cover entry level customers

[ionic breach]

oh that was just an issue where the fufillment company didnt use boxes to ship

so the zinc cases rolled around and burst the l45s boxes with its weight

[calm pulsar]

oh i see

[quasi hinge]

I opened the bag but the switches were all over

Case also came with a dent

They sent me a new one after I messaged (ty wooting)

[quasi hinge]

And that spare case birthed the Lazar 80HE

[ionic breach]

id love for wooting to collab with more orgs

[quasi hinge]

Their TTC collab is a good choice

Switches are unreal

[ionic breach]

^ the owlabs and optimum cases was/will be great

[quasi hinge]

Owlabs should be interesting

[ionic breach]

but i wonder what will happen if they were more involved in designing and learning diff mounts/designs with a great case designer

[quasi hinge]

Is it out?

Im totally unaware

[ionic breach]

china yea i think

[ionic breach]

for owlabs, idt they were involved much

[quasi hinge]

They should poach some Geon staff haha

[little glen]

Wooting x geon collab would be very cool

[ionic breach]

and i (think?) they got the idea of a friction mount from them

and it is great

idk man, seeing some existing case designers got me real deep into keyboards

[little glen]

I thought they got the idea for that from people doing friction mounts on og 60he with oring

[fluid ravine]

This may be true actually

[ionic breach]

im not too sure abt the deeds

[quasi hinge]

Same

[ionic breach]

but i recall them talking about owlabs' friction fit

[fluid ravine]

One of my threads like 6+ months before they made the friction pad we discussed about the friction mount with the o'ring and they wanted in sights and shit even from other channels.

[quasi hinge]

Well it was wooting itself and seeing the passion here

[fluid ravine]

IIRC they said they wanted to implement this into their own way

So I'm pretty sure the friction pad was based off of the og o'ring shit

I could be wrong but just a theory or a thought

[little glen]

I think friction fit pad is a cool idea tbh

[fluid ravine]

It is

[ionic breach]

ya its great

[fluid ravine]

Pretty convenient as well

Taking in and out

[quasi hinge]

Seeing all your builds and the passion with the deep knowledge made me want to make something special

[fluid ravine]

Without any problems

[little glen]

Lets you get something similar to orint friction mount but easier and more accessible to more people

[quasi hinge]

'the community'

[fluid ravine]

Yup

Friction pad is a great success, bit perfect ofc but its good

[quasi hinge]

Plus the fact that wooting essentially gave the middle finger to the whole industry

I hated all the e-waste gaming keyboards

[fluid ravine]

There can be people like alexotos where he would talk about the thing made of silicone even for the alpha area
I would to but still all preference

[ionic breach]

i lowkey wish wooting transition to a proper keyboard maker lmao

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[ionic breach]

they really could

[fluid ravine]

Agreedo

[fluid ravine]

What we thinkinf

[ionic breach]

but its a tough world

[fluid ravine]

What manufactur

[little glen]

They should really have their boards in stores and shit

[ionic breach]

with jobs at stake, being a gaming brand seems smarter

[fluid ravine]

I mean is it like in "high demand"
Ok idk the right term cus wooting is pretty much in high demand rn

But uhhh

[ionic breach]

dont fix whats not broken

[quasi hinge]

Ive seen a few in stores where I live, but a little higher price

[fluid ravine]

Ermm

[fluid ravine]

Da fuq?!

[ionic breach]

they are slowing expanding with vendors

[quasi hinge]

better than directly importing here unless you have a work around

[quasi hinge]

Yeah they may have ordered them from wooting then slapped on extra $

[chilly mural]

FR FR

[quasi hinge]

but only a few and cost is like 50 to 100$ more

[chilly mural]

their board genuinely goated

[quasi hinge]

plus the software

[ionic breach]

id love to see their board partnered with group buys

that shit will be nuts

but they really need to add a daughterboard to the 60 first

and their 80 is 80 lmao

[chilly mural]

hopefully with 60he pro

(You don't see anything)

[ionic breach]

iirc the daughterboard is sold with the case right?

[chilly mural]

Yep

[ionic breach]

there has been a lot of cases i wished a wooting was compatible with

in the last few months

that i wouldnt have mind downsizing to a 60 just for design

if they make the next 60% with a daughterboard, i hope they reach out to group buys to collab as either a vendor or a supplier

[calm pulsar]

wait

lmao

[chilly mural]

Seems cool, but I don't do touch typing. Would be nice if they do HE numpad.

[tawdry tree]

the switch actually doesn’t have a top and bottom housing, it’s one piece lol

just the stem and housing

[calm pulsar]

wild
also why make the stem so wide open, wouldn't keycaps potentially wobble?

they could have made the walls thicker with openings for keycap stems, like on ttc

[tawdry tree]

For productivity it can be so crazy with analog features but Rakka isn’t there yet feature wise so not really a point imo.

[tawdry tree]

From Mare’s short review, they’re the most stable yet

[chilly mural]

I look at Rakka as like a gaming brand like Benom

[tawdry tree]

it’s sort of

like high end

gaming stuff

[calm pulsar]

@glacial wind we need a new church

[tawdry tree]

they’ll release end of the month

maybe ali too

they’re a pain to remove apparently

[ionic breach]

got a link for info?

The price? Same as ttc pom I assume

Wow, will wait to see what people think

Interesting, wonder how that will work

first for me

[tawdry tree]

I’d imagine it’d be painful to disassemble for lubing/spring swap

but maybe not

haven’t seen a one part housing switch before either

[polar girder]

Interesting sound

[fluid ravine]

Benom should be here today

Have a feeling td is going to be a ok and good day, gonna get s gift from a friend, hopefully get all of my geon and Amazon orders after volleyball practice

WiFi just came back finally

[noble mason]

are neo lavenders deep or clacky?

yeah I came across these last weke, very cute!

lower pitched clack but not really worth it considering the other options.

[sacred elm]

that happened to me and they delivered the package the next day, theyre just lying about the weather

[calm pulsar]

well still a commie state

[tropic urchin]

This is what I’m expecting (hopefully)

[calm pulsar]

jk jk

[tropic urchin]

LMAO

I would hate capitalism too if a shack costed $700k over here

[fossil panther]

Reading this channel.. i tink ill wait for 6 Month and check out what HE Swichtes came out. So much interessting stuff coming up. Good thing HE Keybaords exploded so swtich manufacturer are encouraged to try things.

[sacred elm]

I said the same and then got 3 different switches

ttc poms seem to be endgame but yea there can be something better in future, idk

[fossil panther]

i just got a EVO80 and started testing OG Mechanical switches ^^
Now i know why some people are not happy with HE switches right now

Or maybe the HE sound is getting the new trend.. who knows

Got the original TTC KOM, they sound very interessting for sure

[sacred elm]

pom version sounds cleaner

[fossil panther]

yea, but even my FOMO riddled ass cannot justify changing KOMs to KOMs ^^

[tropic urchin]

Most don’t like bc they can’t get thocky or creamy switches like some other mechs

[sacred elm]

yea thats crazy, because of the price

[calm pulsar]

imo the main point of TTC is the stability, if yours feel smooth and very little wooble, then theres no need to get poms

[sacred elm]

my lekker poms will be CREAMY

jk

[stone flax]

did you think "bandwagoning" is too complicated a term and decided to edit it as skibidi?

[stone flax]

fanum tax

(maybe)

[fossil panther]

True, i do prefer them over Jade Pros, they are just perfect for gaming

Is it a meme or are the wooting TTC POMs actually different in any way?

[sacred elm]

same

5g heavier springs

and different color

[fossil panther]

Interessting

But Wooting is also teasing a new own switch, right?

[sacred elm]

Not really

[calm pulsar]

I this is probably what was going to be teased

• geon raws being sold on the store I think too

[sacred elm]

Would be cool if they offered ttc poms for prebuilt, but no way. then it will cost like 300$

product like wooting definitely deserves better switches than lekkers

[fossil panther]

talking about this

yea it dont exactly say that they develope something new

[cyan lark]

Nooo 🫨 sorry you’re getting edged so aggressively dude

[austere creek]

we are constantly getting slightly tweaked switches to figure out ways to improve lekkers

[fossil panther]

So there will be Lekker V3 in 2025?

[austere creek]

idk when but im certain we would revise them asap when we find smth that works and is producable

[sacred elm]

Not open bottom again please

[austere creek]

dw we removed the bottom housing all together

[sacred elm]

nice

only springs

[austere creek]

yes stems are also removed

just springs and top housings

[sacred elm]

wooting centerpiece

[fossil panther]

[austere creek]

i mean wed prob be able to release before finalmouse if we started developing one now

lol

[sacred elm]

lmao

[calm pulsar]

oh yeah, that boioioioioink sound signature

[fossil panther]

You just get a bag of small magnets and have to hold them to the sensors yourself

[austere creek]

does anyone actually know when centerpiece was exactly announcd first time?

[sacred elm]

3 years ago? or something, and then they cancelled it

[austere creek]

nonono its centerpiece pro now

nothing got cancelled

[sacred elm]

pro, without releasing normal version

[austere creek]

or at least i cant see any difference in the pro to their original announcement except a new name and new hype

[slender pollen]

when will the poms be for sale on wooting's site?

[sacred elm]

Dont forget Finalboy said that he will destroy wooting and others with this keyboard 🤓 ☝️

[sacred elm]

Sometimes this week

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I’m not happy 🥲

[cyan lark]

Those Poms will be properly fermented by the time they get to you at least

Moving through network is the most painful usps status

I was stuck on that in I think CT for like 3 days. Don’t move too quickly little fella.

At least it usually gets there with usps. Eventually.

[fallen pecan]

lamzu fanbois gonna be all over this

[fluid ravine]

I'm not

[chilly mural]

Actually, I've seen a lot of higher scanrate board but how come I never seen 16k polling?

[fallen pecan]

limit of usb 2

[chilly mural]

Mmm

Fuwer

E

Usb4 already exist

[fallen pecan]

that's a big knob just to switch RT profiles

[quasi hinge]

They must be compensating for something…

[chilly mural]

Soo gimmick. Looks nice tho

[cyan lark]

Their magnum dong that they’re encumbered by

[chilly mural]

It's like a washing machine timer

[cyan lark]

Cool looking… thing though

[quasi hinge]

Usually its to hide from something else lmao

Maybe something is not right with it loooool

Like crappy software

[tropic urchin]

Beastx mouse going to arrive before alu plate 🙄

[sacred elm]

🫵 😂

[tropic urchin]

Beastx mouse also going to arrive before Wooting Pom

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

🫵🏼🤣

Probably a lie it’s going to be held in customs for 5 days for being magnesium calling it now

[cyan lark]

Hit 'em with the tariffs boys

[flat cobalt]

Someone posted video of Cosmos

[cyan lark]

I thought the flakes would be a bit more colorful and noticeable 😦

[chilly mural]

same

[flat cobalt]

Another video someone posted

[tropic urchin]

Look too close to blanks I feel like I’d be going out of my mind to know what key is what 😅

[calm pulsar]

yeah gmk black blanks pretty much xd

[fallen pecan]

This out-cosmos-ing the cosmos

[tropic urchin]

That with more sparkling colors would’ve been an insta buy

What a missed opportunity

[calm pulsar]

original cosmos renders were super cool, but irl it would've been impossible

so they tried switching aplhas and main keycap colors around

but it is still kinda just blanks lol

[cyan lark]

Maybe I just sound like a fussy baby, but this one looks a bit cheap to me. I was hoping for something subtle but noticeable 🍷

[fallen pecan]

and they are, only $11

[tropic urchin]

More of a proof of concept thing, but would’ve been a lot better. It just looks like regular PBT with some mild colors and no legends

Makes me sad as a space fan 🥲

[cyan lark]

Yeah. Well, I'll still hold out hope/cope that it looks better in person, cause I'm already in for it anyway.

[tropic urchin]

Oh you got them?

[cyan lark]

Yeah in the Cannon keys group buy

[tropic urchin]

They should look nice if you get a textured black case for em

[cyan lark]

I'm planning on putting them in my joker purple salvation

[tropic urchin]

They look more like a match dependent cap set, but I’m just picky

Maybe artisan brings out more color

[flat cobalt]

I almost went with purple as well for my cosmos

But decided black in the end

[cyan lark]

I didn't have a choice on the case color 🙂

[flat cobalt]

Purple cool though

[kind helm]

you got the b stock too?

i heard wizard mentioned someone got a near perfect purple boi

[cyan lark]

Yeah, that's me

[kind helm]

hellyea

i fck with the artisan

[cyan lark]

Unless he's cheating on me

[polar girder]

lol what’s this

[polar girder]

lol right

[sacred elm]

These look better lol

well, imo

Nooo

[sacred elm]

[cyan lark]

Shall we mutiny?

[quasi hinge]

But how

[flat cobalt]

I can’t wait to get my artisans for the cosmos

[analog mulch]

what keycaps are those

[glossy pagoda]

Show me how angry you are by rage-purchasing more keyboards

[tropic urchin]

Torontokeyboardman + usps edging might make me crash out this week ong

“The Alu plate option will restocked next TWO weeks.” Sure buddy

[flat cobalt]

Did they ship already?

[sacred elm]

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

[tropic urchin]

Which

[flat cobalt]

Oh I thought they sent you the Alu plate

[tropic urchin]

TKM listed brass plates before alu restock

Like what

[tropic urchin]

Nah it’s not even listed

[flat cobalt]

Wow

[tropic urchin]

I wouldn’t care if it was shipping still

I can’t even get it

[analog mulch]

TELL ME PLS WHAT ARE THOSE KEYCAPS

Fine. We were going to renovate, but I guess that's on hold.

[flat cobalt]

The cost of 1 artisan keycap

[analog mulch]

thanks

[flat cobalt]

We control the market now

I can’t wait for this keycap is gonna look perfect

[tropic urchin]

Let them use keyboards

[tropic urchin]

Jacob and co keycap 👀

[stark osprey]

Whoa who's the artist for that one?

[flat cobalt]

GSK that’s all it says on the google form

I only got it cause it was 6 regular keycaps and that big boy

[stark osprey]

Hmm don't think I've heard of them before, looks wild though

[flat cobalt]

They make a lot of unicorn keycaps

Like a lot

[harsh dove]

Haha get rekt

[stark osprey]

That's bigly yuge

[harsh dove]

People showing these off in the wrong lighting smh

[stark osprey]

Got this in the mail recently. Now just need keycaps to go with

[harsh dove]

Nobody knows what they’re doing

Smh my head

[cyan lark]

Need candlelight and a glass of pinot ❤️

(but actually I imagine warmer light would help)

[flat cobalt]

Someone said they’ll post pics with a camera in a few

Waiting to see those

[harsh dove]

[harsh dove]

[flat cobalt]

Jesus they look nice

[harsh dove]

Yeah under proper lighting, looks much better

[flat cobalt]

Did you get them as well?

[harsh dove]

Yeah from CK GB

[flat cobalt]

They’re taking forever

[harsh dove]

Yeah I’m supposed to have an artisan coming soon too

[calm pulsar]

just finished gta vice city
thinking of getting these xd

[flat cobalt]

Ohhh which one

[glossy pagoda]

Not even MiamiFPS colors

[calm pulsar]

what's MiamiFPS?

[tropic urchin]

Wooting RGB preset

[calm pulsar]

oh

[harsh dove]

One of the GMK cosmos ones from Archetype

[calm pulsar]

rn I only have literal 1 led on my board

[harsh dove]

They said they’d be done sorting last week so maybe we get shipments this week

[flat cobalt]

Ohhhh I got that one as well thanks to you

[harsh dove]

Oh nice lol

[flat cobalt]

This one right?

[harsh dove]

Yeah but I got the skull

[flat cobalt]

I didn’t see that one

[harsh dove]

Cause it’s mine

lol

[flat cobalt]

There was so many nice artisans for the cosmos

Like the chicken one

[calm pulsar]

this probably would look better with miamifps preset

[flat cobalt]

I wish I could have gotten this one so bad

[harsh dove]

Yeah there was a lot of good ones

[flat cobalt]

Wow that looks really cool

[calm pulsar]

I like the ones Bigsly has

2 keycaps connected together via a melee weapon chain

[harsh dove]

Yeah that was different lol

Lil ball and chain keycaps

[polar girder]

That’s so you

[polar girder]

Mace

[calm pulsar]

there is a specific name for such weapon

[flat cobalt]

Yeah that one is really neat

And it’s called a Flail

[polar girder]

Only problem is I can’t use Flail with caps lock shine trough

So that’s fucked

[calm pulsar]

rip

[cyan lark]

This is somehow hilarious to me

[flat cobalt]

You got 2 artisans didn’t you?

[polar girder]

Bigsly rn

[flat cobalt]

[cyan lark]

Medieval weaponry was fucked

Can you even imagine getting slapped with one of those

[flat cobalt]

I remember me begging for the Salvation rough and fabulous only for me to end up canceling the order

[flat cobalt]

I’d die

[cyan lark]

Oh just incredibly dead

Or worse, wishing you were

[tropic urchin]

The medieval equivalent of falling off a motorcycle at fast speeds without protective gear

[polar girder]

I ALSO REMEMBER THIS

https://tenor.com/view/shame-bell-game-of-thrones-walk-of-atonement-cersei-lannister-gif-16635977892557113898

[cyan lark]

LOL Salvation rough & fabulous

A+

[polar girder]

I think in three years when they’re no longer selling it and you wish you had it I’ll chuckle to myself

[flat cobalt]

Please don’t tempt me

[gentle lava]

I was already showing tremendous amounts of patience by not buying the regular TTC POM's the last couple of days

[flat cobalt]

Lowkey I wanted him to close the sale, that was evil of me

[gentle lava]

But I guess I'll just cave now

[flat cobalt]

And I ended up getting the 80he :c so I wouldn’t even be able to use the Salvation case. I’m planning on giving the 60he to my little brother

[harsh dove]

Flail

Ball and Chain

[flat cobalt]

Fuck bigsly now you got me thinking if I should buy a salvation or not

[harsh dove]

Why

[calm pulsar]

frog leggera

$69

[flat cobalt]

I was begging for the rough and fabulous to come back, which is the cosmos collab

[harsh dove]

Yes, playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

I got smacked by a mace last night

[flat cobalt]

It’s so pricey though I think like 300$ usd

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[storm saddle]

Nothing to do with the conversation but just the french name of flail is fucking badass because it's Fléau (Flay-o) and it also can mean a plague

[harsh dove]

Ima Flay-o you

[storm saddle]

Lmaoo

[harsh dove]

[flat cobalt]

There’s a guy who’s a little upset on how the cosmos turned out in the cosmos discord

[harsh dove]

Welp

Happens

[flat cobalt]

Yeah that’s what the creator said

Wait you’re in it lol

[harsh dove]

lol yeah but I wasn’t keeping up with the chat

Yeah pretty much sums it up

[austere creek]

all hobbies ever

[harsh dove]

Yeaup

[calm pulsar]

which is why I like to look at keycaps for hours on the internet, trying to imagine how they'd look with my case and stuff 😄

[harsh dove]

Buy now, Regret later

[austere creek]

oh i thought youd end with trying to imagine how its like to have money

[calm pulsar]

I sure do when I buy gmk sets

[cyan lark]

Or have money and then spend it all

[cedar gate]

Can't relate

[gentle lava]

Officially caved and ordered the TTC POMs. Now the long wait has started

[harsh dove]

Should've waited till next week

[gentle lava]

I know Wooting is coming with their own version

I was waiting for the release this week, but it's postponed

[harsh dove]

Fine, be that way

[gentle lava]

And I kinda like the weight of the 50g Geon Raws and (according to the spec sheet) the weight of the POMs is basically the same

Look at me, coming up with all these excellent excuses

[calm pulsar]

human eye can't see the difference of 5g

[gentle lava]

Totally not consoling my wallet at the moment

[harsh dove]

I can't even see the difference in 60g, they all look like springs to me

[quasi hinge]

Maybe even he didnt like the way they turned out

[gentle lava]

I'm typing with 24 wpm for the cinematic experience

[harsh dove]

Nah he was replying to another member who said they didn't like them

[quasi hinge]

Lube em up!

[cyan lark]

Some folks just love the pomegranate look, and they are objectively correct.

[harsh dove]

Just saying that sometimes you buy stuff and end up not liking it

[quasi hinge]

Reporting for duty sir

[harsh dove]

I personally do

[cyan lark]

I do too

[polar girder]

I mean lowkey only reason I bought cosmos is so I don’t regret not having it later

[gentle lava]

Currently using 205g0 to lube something else, but will do

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/x-men-children-of-the-atom-capcom-magneto-helmet-gif-18263255

[chilly mural]

And if it's very expensive it's pain

[kind helm]

done that only once for buying og wooting60

that hurt

[harsh dove]

only if you can't get a refund

can resell

[chilly mural]

I guess so

[kind helm]

where you do you keyboard resell :3 mr cam?

[harsh dove]

ebay reddit discord

[gentle lava]

Totally waiting very patiently right now

[harsh dove]

r/mechmarket

[kind helm]

reddit and discord kinda difficult for my 3 brain cell. mechmarket actually looks kinda legit

maybe i sell my tofu one day

maybe

ebay i worry about not many people want a custom keeb

[gentle lava]

It was very easy to sell my Tofu Redux locally

For almost the price for a new Redux

[harsh dove]

Youd be surprised how many customs sell on ebay tbh

[gentle lava]

Some people are really scared to get things shipped from China

[harsh dove]

but ebay got fees n stuff you gotta think about so

[sacred elm]

be careful while lubing them

I wanna try tape mod, can I keep stock pet film or should remove it?

[gentle lava]

I'm so relaxed that my heart can't even pump blood evenly in my body

[prisma solar]

Anyone know what I can do about this?

[cyan lark]

You could go either way

[radiant chasm]

Thanks

[cyan lark]

Is that... was that a stab?

[prisma solar]

huh

[cyan lark]

Looks like the stem isn't there?

[prisma solar]

yes

[gentle lava]

If the clip is still there, you can just remove it and install a new stab

[prisma solar]

like the metal piece? sorry i dont to much just the basic

know"

[harsh dove]

something doesn't seem right here

[polar girder]

God damnitt lol

[polar girder]

This is traumatizing

[prisma solar]

😭

[cyan lark]

You're gonna have to open this up either way. Can't tell if the housing for the stabilizer is broken or not, but at least you'll need a new stem.

[prisma solar]

i took it out normal and it came out with the spacebar and okay

[tropic urchin]

@cyan lark it only just left NJ facility 💀

This shit ain’t arriving today 🤣

Hey at least it's before the weekend

Actually my Raeds HE will be here Friday

Just checked shipping

You'll have time to lube and play magneto

[cyan lark]

New switch Friday! 🙌

Gonna show 'em off for us yeah?

[harsh dove]

Nah

You guys aren’t allowed to see

How do I even open them

They look so weird

[cyan lark]

Is their housing unusual? Didn't notice

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[cyan lark]

Huh :squint:

[harsh dove]

Better have good lube

Or whatever they do

[cyan lark]

You could just put some on the seam between the stem and top housing and just press it a bunch to work it in?

Did this much and I’m already tired and fingers hurt

[tropic urchin]

Doesn’t get better if you’re using default puller

[cyan lark]

Pain is weakness leaving the body. I believe in you.

[tropic urchin]

Ooop

Lekkers and Raws suffer from the heijin school of obnoxious design

[cyan lark]

But also, yeah, you could get a better puller and you won't have nearly as much pain.

[tropic urchin]

They’re forever switches

Leijin

[sacred elm]

doesnt get hurt if you dont use Lejin switches

[brittle grail]

Hi, sorry for a vauge question but im unsure how to form it.
I recently got my hands on a cherry keyboard and noticed how its deeper than wooting, is there a name for this case standard and is it possible to get that sort of a deep case for a 60% keyboard ? I love the aesthetic of it

[rose gazelle]

What pullers are y’all using?

The default pullers are seriously poo

[tropic urchin]

The tech that I was shown is the wuque studio titanium switch puller

Shit is light and won’t feel like you gotta deadlift squeeze that plastic ish

went through three of these

and know no one who’s used it longer term without it breaking

I can only assume it's full of effusive positivity.

A metal puller like Varedis linked is also going to be a big improvement over the one Wooting provides

Gang

[stone flax]

did u get ur geon order in yet?

[polar girder]

Yes

Not assembled

[polar girder]

Really need to order plastic plate and TTC POM

[stone flax]

pp

or

nylon

[polar girder]

Nylon

[stone flax]

mhm

[polar girder]

Yeah which

I have both for Wooting

[stone flax]

depends

OOH

[polar girder]

Too lazy to test

[stone flax]

:3

[polar girder]

[stone flax]

nylon would be deeper and come off as more plasticky

[polar girder]

I played around a little bit I really need to full build them to see

Yeah I’m torn

PP seems softer

[little glen]

when is leggera coming

[polar girder]

But not as low

[stone flax]

its one of the softest

so nice

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m leaning towards PP ngl

[stone flax]

but surprisingly not as flexy despite the give

[polar girder]

But scared

[stone flax]

how so

[polar girder]

To order wrong and order again later

Lolz

[stone flax]

[polar girder]

But I need to hurry up cuz cosmos shipping soonish

And tired of fuking around

[proven wadi]

i tried the geon lucifer he switches. i tried them at my friends house and didnt like them, but i tought i give them a longer run. tried them for a week, still hate them :p

[kind helm]

they like creamy thocky board or clack

i can make either on tofu

[proven wadi]

took like 45mins to get the geon raw out, but i did manage to get them all out w/o breaking a single one. but feels like that is something you do once and never again :p

[cyan lark]

Impressive that you were able to pull that off 🙂

[proven wadi]

prolly pure luck, it felt like they were all gone break :p

[cyan lark]

A better built raw would really be something

[kind helm]

bottom housing can be tighter

[proven wadi]

absolutly, the lucifer ones was okay to remove. kinda like the jades no problem to remove

[cyan lark]

If they made it not fall apart when facing a gentle breeze and eliminated the sticking at the top it would be S tier

Or at least more recommendable 🙂

[kind helm]

i cant wait for geon to make a new switch with the same bottom housing design as raw

i want to get more raws for my tofu but i dont want 2 boards with the same switch

[proven wadi]

i rly like the geon raw 40g, will prolly never dare to change them out again cause then i know i will have to order new ones. i wount be this lucky twice :p

[little glen]

Pro tip for getting the raws out

Push on the clips on the bottom then push them out

V easy and no breaking

[kind helm]

I keep saying that and nobody listens

then i say skill issue people get mad

i am sad

[little glen]

Thats how i got em out the other day when i accidentally put some of them in the other way on my 60%

Oh yeah i should probably do that soundtest soon

Fr4 vs alu

[proven wadi]

white one even look nicer :p

[kind helm]

which one you prefer?

alu alu alu

[little glen]

I havent tried em both yet

I‘ll have to figure out what i‘ll eat then i can do the sound test for fr4 and swap it out after

I also need to redo stabs on my 80he but i‘ve already done enough shit today i‘ll leave that one for tomorrow

[tacit acorn]

Hello guys, is this how the stabs should look? (It’s my first time building a keyboard)

[polar girder]

Screenshotted and will make poster and put it above my pillow so I can read it every night before I sleep

I pray my raw I do not break.
