[near kestrel]

Guys, when I write with my wooting 80he and I want to erase or enter, Nothing happens

[wispy sinew]

I think your enter stability might be backwards

[near kestrel]

Yet it's not the switch that doesn't work because I've exchanged it with another one that works and it still doesn't work

And I put a trick, a mode with the light that when you press the light comes gradually, its walk does me, but on the pc nothing happens

[little glen]

Looks good, just make sure they are all flush

If they are, perfect, no issues

[tacit acorn]

Ty, So that normal some wire are up and some wire are down?

[little glen]

Yep

I think its for oring compatibility

[tacit acorn]

Thanks

[near kestrel]

I just saw it's because there's no assign key, how do I assign a key in wootility

[hot raven]

Remap

[wispy sinew]

Leather instead of foam dampening

[quasi hinge]

Nice!

[cyan lark]

Huh leather as a dampener, how's it sound compared to foam?

[rose gazelle]

Done for now

[little glen]

Is that a stickerbomb mod?

[wispy sinew]

I like the deeper sound profile it gives

[cyan lark]

I see the tape underneath, fun way to zazz it up and add layers

[wispy sinew]

Yup

[little glen]

Coiled cable wrapped around a bolt, you just made an inductor

[polar girder]

Dampener or reflector?

[little glen]

I am curious about the sound of leather as a dampening material tho

[polar girder]

For sure

[cyan lark]

I mean it's more dampening than the case right?

[polar girder]

It is curious

Right

[little glen]

It probably eats a bunch of the case vibrations

It also seems like one of the harder materials to make a dampening layer out of

Thats some shit you wont see sold on ali

[wispy sinew]

I glued it to a rubber sheet for the case ping

[harsh dove]

I imagine pretty similar to when I used Moleskin

I put moleskin in the bottom of the Frog Mini before

[cyan lark]

Sure that sounds similar enough

[polar girder]

Yeah moleskin fuzzy side up on the bottom of the case is interesting

On top of my kilmat lol

Don’t think that would fit tho. Maybe. But doubtful

[harsh dove]

I think I have a pic somewhere lol

[wispy sinew]

Worth a Try. I originally was going to go with leather/cork combo but the cork was too thick.

[carmine pelican]

bro had to flex the finalmouse💀

[sacred elm]

lol

[little glen]

Still super happy with how my venom turned out

Looks so good

I wish my 80he looked this good tbh

Maybe when i have the cosmos on it

[night atlas]

fire

[kind helm]

a alumazed that i can actually respect

[cyan lark]

On looks this thing is done.

And I know how it feels so you did it

[tropic urchin]

Starting to think torontoman lied to me

[harsh dove]

He did

[sacred elm]

probably french canadian

[kind helm]

i think the best 80he is cam's gameboy theme one

[cyan lark]

Tabernach!

[kind helm]

that one fcks

[little glen]

👀

I dont know if i‘ve seen that yet

[carmine pelican]

I'm intrigued as well👀

[little glen]

I mean my 80he right now doesnt look that bad either tbh

[little glen]

With the deskmat too, thats cheating

[carmine pelican]

yeah thats sexy

[sacred elm]

Still thinking do I order gt80 or no

[little glen]

Also desk looks too clean hey @harsh dove you need to let some dust on your desk so i feel less bad about the state of mine

[carmine pelican]

this one too, cant go wrong with Mictlán

[little glen]

It‘s going in the closet soon to be replaced with gmk cosmos haha

Just need to find the time to tune stabs so i can do both at once

[carmine pelican]

damn, send them my way 🙏

jk

[little glen]

I think i‘ll build another 60% in leggera or something idk

I need to find a use for these cause they are way too good to not use

[carmine pelican]

aren't people really torn on cosmos?

[little glen]

Yes

[harsh dove]

[little glen]

But i think if you have some time with it to really take it in and get used to it etc

I was kind of on the fence at first but now i really like it

[harsh dove]

I have a habit of wiping my desk, monitors, PC, down like everyday

[little glen]

Lets just say i dont have a duster and you can tell

[sacred elm]

In stock??

[carmine pelican]

I just bought one of those magnetic dusters, clutch af

[harsh dove]

Ah, yeah I have electric duster and hundred micro fiber cloths

[cyan lark]

Don't believe his lies

[harsh dove]

I like this , the silver/grey is clean with the diffuser bar

[little glen]

True

[sacred elm]

I'm probably going to order white version after getting POMs

Im done with plastic case

[kind helm]

that one was announced to send out last march

[harsh dove]

Can I get GT80 without brass badge AND no strap clip?

[sacred elm]

yea

[harsh dove]

Hmm

Tempting

[sacred elm]

You can order without a badge and just unscrew that strap thingie

strap buckle or whatever its called

[harsh dove]

Gotcha

[harsh dove]

That has the clip on still no?

[kind helm]

yea idk about the clip

only know they can do no badge :3

[harsh dove]

Shafie said I could unscrew so

[carmine pelican]

it comes with 2 accents

1 for the strap

[kind helm]

that be neat

[carmine pelican]

and 1 that just kinda goes out from the case

[harsh dove]

Now to get them to make me silver weight

Instead of brass

[kind helm]

oh yea

you basically have holes instead

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s fine

[kind helm]

its pretty clean

[carmine pelican]

lowkey cleaner than both the included pieces

[kind helm]

the layout still weird af to me

sry

[sacred elm]

Yea screw this, im getting it

[carmine pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/sw-wallet-gif-26061726

[sacred elm]

exactly

poms + this = gg

I sold my 60he tho

[carmine pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/hungry-cat-food-bowl-wheres-my-food-give-me-food-gif-17416211

you the rest of the month

[sacred elm]

lol

[cyan lark]

Think about the compound interest that case will accrue tho

[harsh dove]

Oh you can get diff color badges

Hmm

[sacred elm]

yea

also it comes with long ass jst cable

thats a W

[harsh dove]

What is side metal badge

I see front metal badge, side metal badge, and strap buckle

[cyan lark]

Instead of the buckle I think you can just get a metal tab that is just an accent

[sacred elm]

oh, wait. actually no clue

[carmine pelican]

buckle and side badge are interchangeable, for the people who don't want the strap

[harsh dove]

I didn’t see any pics of side badge unless I’m blind

[winter mirage]

you dont like the ghost? @harsh dove

[fluid ravine]

Lessgooo, benom has arrived to my city's DHL facility

[carmine pelican]

the ones in the middle

[harsh dove]

Nah I do why

[sacred elm]

lol

[harsh dove]

Gotcha

[winter mirage]

idk i guess stupid way of asking :D. you are going to upgrade the case though?

[harsh dove]

So it still kinda sticks out

[winter mirage]

sry for the pings

[cyan lark]

Yeah

[harsh dove]

Yeah I might look at this GT80, I have a white zinc already and a frost case too

[cyan lark]

Leave some cases for the rest of us T_T

[winter mirage]

whats the biggest difference the sound? xD

[harsh dove]

Yeah

And weight

[stone flax]

the feel

[cyan lark]

& weight of course

[stone flax]

the looks

[carmine pelican]

if they made a PC GT80 or acrylic, my wallet would be gone

[winter mirage]

yeah i just play games so im not a uber keeb enthusiast not trying to be facetious

[harsh dove]

Nah you’re good

[winter mirage]

ive had my 60he+ for a while now and its just still in stock case

but tbh i think it sounds good lol

[cyan lark]

Enjoy it then, don't let your bank account get drained.

[harsh dove]

Yeah don’t jump into the rabbit hole

Let us be nerdy about stuff that don’t matter

[sacred elm]

which color are you thinking Cam?

[harsh dove]

Silver

[winter mirage]

love the feel of the keyboard though was thinking of grabbing a zinc case for 80 for typing/work

[sacred elm]

I like that and white

[harsh dove]

But I’m debating getting black badges

Or none at all

[sacred elm]

Im gonna get without a badge

[carmine pelican]

I feel like none is the move

[harsh dove]

Yeah I feel like none is clean

[cyan lark]

You gotta at least get one for $3 while you're at it right?

[sacred elm]

I like this ball catch design

[harsh dove]

For the side badge I guess yeah

[glossy pagoda]

Yea that ball grabbing system is pretty tight

[cyan lark]

The one part of it compared to the zinc case I really envy

[harsh dove]

Mark never fails

[glossy pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-thank-you-hat-penguin-cowboy-gif-16546843545166614684

[harsh dove]

Edging and Ball Grabbing Systems, Marks specialty

[sacred elm]

Surely on monday Ill order poms

right... Mark

[harsh dove]

Surely

[cyan lark]

He's got you wrapped round his finger

[cyan lark]

wait that's not a finger

[carmine pelican]

My deng gods are coming in tmrw, wtf do I even do with them??? my geon raws are coming Friday💀

[harsh dove]

Refund them

[sacred elm]

Apparently Deng God Pros are pretty nice, jade pro copies

[harsh dove]

I bought deng gods just for them to sit in a container on display

I didn’t even install them

[carmine pelican]

Don't know if I have the motivation to refund aliexpress for 20$

[harsh dove]

I didn’t

[carmine pelican]

so just return without getting money back?

[harsh dove]

See

[carmine pelican]

are they that bad💀

[harsh dove]

Here they lie

Unused and unloved

[carmine pelican]

Ill probably also let them collect dust in some corner ig

[sacred elm]

W containers

[harsh dove]

[carmine pelican]

not even a nice container, just still in the bag they came in

[harsh dove]

I gave mine more respect than they’re worth

A nice container

[kind helm]

what are the blue ones and the purple ones

[carmine pelican]

1 day ill get poms 🙏 , my wallet is on hiatus atm though

[harsh dove]

Kailh Mistrals “Source Series” they don’t work with Wooting and purples are the Neo Lavenders

Basically a Jade recolor but Nylon housing iirc

[kind helm]

ahhh the kaih ones look weird

[harsh dove]

Yeah they’re full POM

And don’t have legs

[kind helm]

even the top housing and the stem look funky

[polar girder]

Yooo nylon switch?

No pins is whack tho

[harsh dove]

Yeah, I couldn't remember if they were but I just looked it up

These do have pins

the Kailhs don't have pins

[polar girder]

I loved the raptors for feel and sound

[harsh dove]

Yeah I actually like the Neo Lavenders

They have similar tolerance to OG Jades

[polar girder]

I always thought they were just a recolor

Huh

[harsh dove]

They are basically a jade recolor

but nylon

[polar girder]

lol gotcha

[harsh dove]

they have closed bottom

[harsh dove]

I think Aligner called them closed bottom Raptors iirc lol

[kind helm]

brought 10 to get free shipping, me like too, tis not bad

[harsh dove]

yeah they're not as tight as RAWs or TTC but I liked them when I used them

They have a nice color

21 days of waiting paid off

[fluid ravine]

LESSSSGOOOOO

[fluid ravine]

Yes or No

[fluid ravine]

Ok 1 no and 1 yes

Turing yes or no

Choose my fate

[marsh saffron]

Yes

[cyan lark]

But sometimes? Sometimes no.

In this case I'll go yes.

[fluid ravine]

Alright yes it is

Context

[kind helm]

your fate for like probably 30min to 1hr depending on what it is

[fluid ravine]

Should I lube my raws or not

[kind helm]

oh easiest yes in my life

[fluid ravine]

I have a mock state test I gotta take tmr

So guess Ima take the time to lube my shit instead of studying HAHAHA

[kind helm]

you reviewed already i assume

[fluid ravine]

Nope

I just took a AP test td

I FLUNKED that shit

Ima build FR4 first

[kind helm]

you on 3rd year or 4th year though, retake it ez

[fluid ravine]

Ima take out my current raws and GMK 80082 and put them on fr4 and build it from there

Then lube the second batch of raws right after

[fluid ravine]

2nd actually

[kind helm]

wat kind of ap test you taking

[fluid ravine]

Am a sophomore in hs

[kind helm]

lil bro is genius

[fluid ravine]

Computer science...

It's a mock it's a mock 😭

Practice test

I didn't have internet yesterday so no study

[kind helm]

uh huh

[fluid ravine]

Yuh huh

Alright leggera... I'm waiting..

This week

[kind helm]

week after week its next week

[cyan lark]

We got stuffed today

[fluid ravine]

It's only tuesday

[little glen]

Next week

[fluid ravine]

It could be any day of the week

[little glen]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

Next week

This needs to be pinned tbh

[fluid ravine]

Fug

Sadge

[kind helm]

you faster

[little glen]

Any mod in chat can pin it?

[fluid ravine]

Nah

We the pinners

We spread the info

[kind helm]

nah they dont wanna pin that

because its gonna be the week after

[fluid ravine]

Don't jinx it!

ErmMmMmMmMM

[night atlas]

how often do you guys relube your switches (if you do)

[fluid ravine]

We dont

[night atlas]

i feel like HE switches in general don't retain the lube qualities as well as mech switches

[fluid ravine]

Except the time we had lekker v1s

[kind helm]

? why

[fluid ravine]

They all break in anyways lol

Even mx

[night atlas]

curious

no real reason

[fluid ravine]

Just structural design is different

[night atlas]

Yea, i wonder what about the structure itself lends itself to that

[kind helm]

the lube still makes contact to the plastic parts

[night atlas]

maybe cause there's less surface area with the abscence of the leaf that mech switches have

[fluid ravine]

Tru Tru..

Are you going based of sound or feel

[night atlas]

wym? isn't like 90% of the switch plastic lol, where else would lube go

[fluid ravine]

Usually the point of lube is to make your switches feel smoother

[kind helm]

if you lubed within 2 weeks its just lube even out

[night atlas]

little of both

mind you, I've no jarring issues, just curious

haha

[fluid ravine]

Let's just say lubing switches mostly based for feel

[winged bison]

im considering buying the wooting he 80he but im in search of more of a thocky sound like the gateron oil kings, is it possible to change to a switch like that in the future, get some type of mod or would i need to just get a different keyboard?

[kind helm]

i precisely lube one drop on each side of the rail

[fluid ravine]

I do 3 brush strokes for all rails

[night atlas]

@fluid ravine I know what lubing is for my curiosity stems in why the lubing effects seem to wane out faster than mechanical switches

[kind helm]

though i legit want to try just dry rail and stem with lubed spring

[fluid ravine]

You see it really doesn't, it's still there as is.

[kind helm]

and pray that the dry sides break in

[fluid ravine]

Unless you're line asking why it breaks in quicker

[kind helm]

[fluid ravine]

Idk what wane means 😭

[night atlas]

could be this!

[harsh dove]

just buy TTC and dont lube em then

they come dry

[fluid ravine]

Someone get me a dictionary

[night atlas]

gradually disapppear, in the context i used it in

[cyan lark]

I don't even think they're bad dry 🤷

[fluid ravine]

Ay natural break in period is nice

Let the plastic rub against each other

And create a spark

Then every time you type you will get 5 big booms

[cyan lark]

Can't have lovin' without some rubbin'

[night atlas]

but yea i wonder what about the structure lends itself to break in faster

at least in my subjective experience

[night atlas]

Thock is generally not gonna happen with most HE switches (can't speak for other boards) the best you can really get is a lower pitched clack, which IMO don't sound that bad

[night atlas]

I think the Jade Pros had the lowest sound signature combined with your usual tape mods, foams, poron plate foam etc

[fluid ravine]

Let's gooooo

I'm not even home ughhhhhh

[winged bison]

aight so for u personally what keyboard would u recommend i get that is not HE for a more thocky sound? if u dont know thats also fine xd ty for the info

im gonna be starting my uni for programming in 6-7 months so im looking to buy my first like actual good keyboard but sound and feel is really important for me

[night atlas]

I don't know off the top, but I do remember milktooth on youtube having some solid recs for switches for whatever sound profile you prefer.

[winged bison]

HE is a big bonus but if i cant achieve a good enough sound then i could also just settle for mechanical

[kind helm]

who says he cant thock

[winged bison]

aight ty i will look into it

[night atlas]

an important thing to note is that sound is also determined by the case, plate, foams etc. so try be aware of different configurations!

[fluid ravine]

Type shit

[night atlas]

usually poron foams and general dampening mods will cut out higher pitch frequencies @winged bison

[night atlas]

are u saying this is thock or clack

LOL

[winged bison]

ah ok ty i will keep that in mind

[forest bobcat]

hello everyone! Anyone knows if I can change keyboard case without removing the keycaps.

[night atlas]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[fluid ravine]

Someone said lower pitched clack

[night atlas]

this was the lowest i could go

[cyan lark]

Yes

Well you have to remove a few for the 60HE

[night atlas]

idk if you'd consider that vid I just linked thock, but i liked the sound

[forest bobcat]

I have a 80he

[kind helm]

quite a few actully for the tray mount

[cyan lark]

6 I think?

Anyway, 0 for 80HE. Check the youtube build vid.

[forest bobcat]

Thanks

[kind helm]

dont remember, all i remember is really annoying

[night atlas]

@winged bison for reference, this was the lowest pitch I could achieve with my configuration

[kind helm]

my secret sauce is cotton

[night atlas]

would u guys say this is thock or clack or something else

[kind helm]

dont tell anyone hehehehe

[night atlas]

idk what i'd call this lol

[fluid ravine]

This like a year ago or maybe a year and half

[night atlas]

the bottom row 🔥

[winged bison]

thats pretty nice ngl but i still kind of feel its different than the sound im exactly looking for

[kind helm]

compare to now

[winged bison]

still a really good option tho

[kind helm]

rip foam gang

[polar girder]

lol wut

Full clack IMO

[fluid ravine]

Superrr different

It has that "umph" in the sound profile

[night atlas]

Yea, if you search up thock within this server you're going to find a lot of similar answers haha, there's stuff that's CLOSE to it (at least to me)

[fluid ravine]

Like ye I got clack clack

[polar girder]

Yo says it shipped by the way

[fluid ravine]

But that was toned down by a lot

[polar girder]

My little interface upgrade

Getting giddy

[night atlas]

Maybe if you provide a video of what sound you're going for exactly, that could help @winged bison

[kind helm]

a lot of people just yapping, i think there is one lady who also made a pretty THOCKY board

[fluid ravine]

[polar girder]

More thock in here

[night atlas]

haha yapping is a part of a text based channel!

[winged bison]

i will try to find it, if i remember correctly it was the rainy 75 with gateron oil kings

[night atlas]

we cant all just suck off TTCs and Raws 😂

[fluid ravine]

See the new people should go back in time and visit the old stuff

They don't know abt the voodoo lekker v1s

[winged bison]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eQa2Kd3DHE

[kind helm]

i got raws from searching this discord's history

[night atlas]

damn this sounds nice haha

[winged bison]

yea bro thats what im sayiing hahaha

[kind helm]

oil king is really nice, i had a board with that on a ciy gas67 or something

thock city that one was

[noble mason]

tbh that sounds poppy rather than thocky

[winged bison]

but i cant find any rainy 75s cause im currently living in vienna austria and almost all are sold out and the ones that are available are like 190 euros which is insane

[fluid ravine]

Agreed

I thought they were long pole switches for a moment

[winged bison]

yea idk im not too sure with the terms i just started to dive into the custom keybhoard world like a month ago

[kind helm]

the terms are ass anyway dw about it

LOL

[night atlas]

frankly, most of the appeal in the wooting models is the functionality in gaming, if you are getting a keyboard for the programming/school there's bound to be a lot more options

[noble mason]

it’s fine it’s mostly subjective opinions lol

[fluid ravine]

Honestly I'm just a hater but..
It sounds like too much foam

I don't like it personally

[kind helm]

dare i say i want to try alu plate with foam

[fluid ravine]

Oh lawd

[kind helm]

i havent tried foam with stiff plate

[fluid ravine]

I can't wait to go home ughhhhhhhhhhh

[night atlas]

work from home gang

hehe

[fluid ravine]

Silicone and cf on my raws made it sound thin

[fluid ravine]

I'm a student 😭😭😭

High school student

[kind helm]

he touches grass and play volley ball man

the good times

[fluid ravine]

In le 10th grade

[winged bison]

im still gonna be gaming alot too, its just that im also gonna be using it alot for programming/school so yea the HE would just be a big plus for me in gaming, but its also really convienient buying the 80he for me because its gonna be prebuilt and i can like order it today u know what i mean

[night atlas]

touching grass is over rated, touching switches is where it's at

[winged bison]

i found the switches im looking for i just cant find a good enough keyboard option and im so tired of searching for one im at my wits end ahahahha

[night atlas]

ooooo i see

[fluid ravine]

[noble mason]

tbh tho if you want that poppy sound profile i think a PP plate would be good rather than a PC plate

[night atlas]

Fwiw, I was in search of thock and found more appreciation for other sound signatures

i think a lot of us were tbh

lol

[winged bison]

and theoretically maybe in 1-2 years with technology evolving they might make more switches for HE thats gonna be more of the sound profile im looking for

[noble mason]

wooting doesn’t sell a PP plate but you can get one cut out for yourself

[winged bison]

i have no idea what that is but i will look into it for sure then

[fluid ravine]

This is da way

PP or POM

[noble mason]

most keyboard enthusiasts prefer PP over POM lately

[kind helm]

not too hopeful because the reason why things sound more clacky on he is because of the magnet there

[kind helm]

hes doing it

[night atlas]

lmao what is that "pls do not delete it ! (new)"

[fluid ravine]

Both compared to PC, they got this interesting popiness sound signature

[night atlas]

LOOOL

[fluid ravine]

PC is a really dead sounding plate

But it dampens a lot of the sound profile

[fluid ravine]

Oh lawd!

[noble mason]

tbf most he switches have the same materials for their switches. it’s always nylon bottom, pc top, pom stem

[fluid ravine]

DB

[harsh dove]

Its a Duaghter board instead of a Daughter board

[uneven cradle]

PP plate

[kind helm]

dead or clean you just dont hear the top out that good. its still nice

[fluid ravine]

I can't hear the bottom out brah 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[kind helm]

you want things to be alive young man, try steel plate

[fluid ravine]

All I hear is top out

Could be a diff case for mx

But hell

[harsh dove]

Hopper loves his PP

[fluid ravine]

Bro ascended into heaven

[noble mason]

yea PC plates seem to mute the sound a lot more

than PP

[fluid ravine]

[harsh dove]

[fluid ravine]

You saw nothing

[harsh dove]

[kind helm]

PP too expensive for me rn, otherwise i want to try pp with a closed bottom switch(not raw) on salv

jade pro with alu on salv way too loud for me

raw is just right

[fluid ravine]

Yup that's Pops

[noble mason]

you can get a plate cut out for like 30 bucks no?

[fluid ravine]

and calder

[kind helm]

where though

[noble mason]

are you in US or canada

[kind helm]

hypekeyboard for me is 50 dolla

me us

Also 6’4 fwiw

[polar girder]

Real

[kind helm]

holy fck there is a stone plate out there

[polar girder]

Or stem swapped raptors

[polar girder]

Clean

[tropic urchin]

I also have the worlds flattest feet, so my life in sports was never going to be long lived

[barren wasp]

Is there a sound test

[kind helm]

idk i found the plate material randomly. didnt even know that is a thing

[night atlas]

as an athelete with flat feet, i fucking FEEL this lol

[harsh dove]

I have flat feet and did soccer for 6 years

[night atlas]

my plantar fasciitis gives out before my lungs do

[kind helm]

FOOTBALL

[harsh dove]

yeah futball

[tropic urchin]

I got a shepherds fracture in my left ankle and the same shit would’ve happened again in right so I ended up having more fun working out than actually playing 🤣

[night atlas]

what's that?

[tropic urchin]

Back end of your talis bone separates from your ankle

Or w/e it’s called

[harsh dove]

I played football too, broke my pinky once lol

[night atlas]

oh fuck that

sounds painful lol

[tropic urchin]

11/10 pain, only thing that topped it for me was removing my tonsils as an adult

[night atlas]

or mad inconvenient

mine was retrolisthesis, i legit felt paralyzed

gained 30-40 lbs

not in a good way

all went to my belly and chin lmao

[harsh dove]

[tropic urchin]

That shit is pain incarnate

[night atlas]

my brother in pain 🤝

yea the sport I do requires a lot of rotation erratically so it's quite easy to injure yourself like that

but now I have De Quervain's as of last week, so my dominant hand's thumb is rendered useless for now lmao

life does not want me to be active

[tropic urchin]

Oh hell nah

[harsh dove]

Yall be hurtin yourselves too much

[tropic urchin]

My shit was like 12 years ago cam

[night atlas]

I swear that one came outta nowhere

[harsh dove]

Ah okay okay

[tropic urchin]

I’m still moderately young

[night atlas]

I'm a lifelong boxer so injuries are bound to happen

[harsh dove]

True

[night atlas]

deffo aged me faster tho 🥲

[harsh dove]

I wanna do some more combat sports again, haven't done anything since school

[night atlas]

hell yea

despite everything i was complaining about, i do not regret 1 sec of it

[cyan lark]

who not to pick a fight with

I just lift cause I like being able to pick up heavy things and smaller people.

[harsh dove]

You better leave them small people alone

[cyan lark]

In a good way!

I want to be picked up so bad but ain't many people out there that can fulfill that wish.

[night atlas]

looool it's not like that, i find thrill in high stakes, fast paced adrenaline activities

i am not prone to violence hahaha

[kind helm]

go walk around the hood or somethin idk

[cyan lark]

Not that way 😨

[kind helm]

(dont actually do that

LOLOL

[night atlas]

time to enroll in some grappling classes 🙂

like BJJ

if you haven't already

[cyan lark]

I think I may be past picking up that kinda stuff man, much fun as it may be

Creeping up on that "you're gonna fucking hurt yourself" age

[night atlas]

i feel that...

I'd rather just hurt myself in games with no actual physical tax lmao

[tropic urchin]

If you have a large frame then it acts as natural deterrence

[cyan lark]

Yeah I do have that going for me I guess 🤷

I don't wanna fight folks anyway

[tropic urchin]

Fighting people for having the wrong switch choices in the modding channel is fair easier anyway

[kind helm]

nah i never expected mike to sound the way he sound

no disrespect to the man of course, i am just a nerd

[harsh dove]

real and true

[cyan lark]

Just heard the man's voice my whole life, I know that lisp like the back of the ear he bit off

[harsh dove]

yeah he just got that distinct lisp voice

Love to Mike tho, hes a legen

[harsh dove]

Yeah I seen, that whole cable spec is dumb lol

[spice plover]

anyone actually do this? https://help.wooting.io/article/210-fix-right-side-of-60he-not-working

im getting Phantom A press down

[visual ore]

Apparently the 3090 had more safeguards as well

Which just makes this worst

[kind helm]

i am watching it now

bruh

[spice plover]

you got a 5090?

[kind helm]

[drifting shore]

Guys, im getting my 80he soon (hopefully) and i can't decide which switches. Geon Raws, Rice Pudding or Jade Max. Any tips?

[tropic urchin]

Out of those 3 easily RAWs

[sacred elm]

||ttc poms||

[icy dew]

Jade max have terrible issues, would not buy.
If you want another Jade, the Jade Pro's are good. They're a bit deeper than the Geon Raw's, which are a bit higher pitch

[violet fulcrum]

I don’t have my tiger lite gaming in yet to try but I’ll put it in a cheap board just so we can hear how it sounds in a case

[visual ore]

I hate it

Kidding mind pressing it between your fingers

[half bear]

hey guys I'm getting an acrylic case for my wooting 60HE and I just cant find any decent looking like maybe jelly white or just any white type of keycaps that have nice shine through like Xray maybe...any tips

[visual ore]

Hard to tell with the desk wood audio

[tidal frigate]

Put it in your 80he

[violet fulcrum]

i sold it lul

[violet fulcrum]

uhhh its a little difficult since its silicone

[kind helm]

nice and soft or nah

[violet fulcrum]

the feeling of soft, without the mush at the bottom

[kind helm]

you sold 80he and got the tiget lite gaming with venom tkl?

[violet fulcrum]

you guys are gonna love these if u picking these up

[kind helm]

you are the best

[kind helm]

nice

now i kinda want to try

fck

[violet fulcrum]

3.5mm bottom out, so youre not gonna be hearing the magnet hit ur pcb which was my concern at first

just some nice thocks

[visual ore]

Hmmmmmm

[tidal frigate]

So transfer ownership

[violet fulcrum]

yup already done that ofc

[flat cobalt]

It was a very subtle light difference, now was it in my head or irl idk

[tropic urchin]

That decides it then, I’m going to edge Toronto man with my business they not getting it now

[kind helm]

anyone remembers what is the type of conductive pad used by optimum case?

[tawdry tree]

adhesive conductive foam/pads

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[kind helm]

is there a specific orientation for it?

i assume the adhesive side is not conductive?

[tawdry tree]

it is

[kind helm]

ah alright

[tawdry tree]

don’t think so

you can get strips off of ali as well

and just cut them to size

[kind helm]

so just tape it onto the case and make sure it contacts with the pcb's usb-c port and we chilling?

[tidal frigate]

So why you have role

[kind helm]

i know its a not a good source but

just worrying :3

[tawdry tree]

scratch the paint/anodized layer off a bit

that’s what turing did and tested to work.

[tawdry tree]

of most adhesive conductive foams it is, it says so in the description as well

[kind helm]

bro has multimeter at home?!

[tawdry tree]

ye

RUBBER DOME ENJOYER AHHAH

[violet fulcrum]

idk you gotta ask a mod lol

[violet fulcrum]

rahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[tawdry tree]

you like em already?

[kind helm]

thanks man ❤️

[violet fulcrum]

love them, havent even mounted them yet

[tawdry tree]

I wanna try em so bad too but fucking oblo died

bro said he was gonna list em two weeks ago now

😭

[night atlas]

has anyone found a way to get a stepped caps lock to fit onto the wooting

or will I just have to mod it per key

😭

IMO they look so much better and it's a shame it only works on certain PCBs

[kind helm]

rubber dome on alu yee or nah

i dont have a good plate for it

fuck

i want to do a plastic case + plastic plate + rubber dome build

THOCK

mr willyum's tkl build is gonna be sick af

[night atlas]

this was a wild ride to read

[kind helm]

sry i saw beautiful falling snow outside i took it as a sign from god to start drinking

[night atlas]

LMAOOOO

valid

[violet fulcrum]

i got mine from omnitype, cannonkeys should be stocked sooner or later

[kind helm]

hes eu xD

[tawdry tree]

☹️

[kind helm]

imma get some even though i dont have a board for it

just it being the first rubber dome he switch i want to grab some

[tawdry tree]

Depending on how much the offset is of stepped compared to normal, perhaps a switch would still be functional when offset

I don’t think woot’s calibration would work well though

[night atlas]

hm

if it messes with calibration then i'm probs not gonna do it

unless you're talking about for that key in particular

[tawdry tree]

for that key in particular

[night atlas]

oh yea that won't matter

[tawdry tree]

could be interesting

[night atlas]

as long as it registers a general key press i'm good haha

[kind helm]

wooting's calibration is key particular?

[night atlas]

did u mean moving where the switch is on the pcb btw

[tawdry tree]

but you’d need a custom plate and a switch without mounting pins

[tawdry tree]

per key, yes

[kind helm]

that means mixing switches in the same board would work, nice

[tawdry tree]

I mean if you just had a stepped caps plate (offset) while using a normal PCB

the magnet would be slightly offset compared to the sensor but it might still function well

🤔🤔

[night atlas]

ooooooooo i see

yea naw not worth for a single key hahaha

i'll live

[tawdry tree]

It’s cool, I like stepped more as well

[kind helm]

it probably would because every damn time my bluetooth earbud charger go near my board it starts to go crazy

[tawdry tree]

yeah I think it would as well. The SayoDevice works when the switches are offset by 5mm or so

I think stepped caps would be similar

[kind helm]

imagine a plate with stepped cap compatiblity. literally just wider hole for that one switch

[tawdry tree]

well, because the mounting pins holes don’t align, it’d have to be a switch without mounting pins. which means if the hole is wider, the key can slide 🤣

but ye, a wider hole is all you’d need to test it out

[kind helm]

wait yea

LMAO

okay now i am a bit drunk

double sided tape

[tawdry tree]

;)

I'm omw home can't wait to see me benommmmm

[atomic dune]

i bought the Wooting 60HE prebuilt and have done the following modifications:

-Alumaze 60 Just White Case + foam
-Friction Fit Pad
-PC Plate
-Gateron Jade Pro Switches Lubed with Krytox 205g0
-4 layers Painters Tape Mod
-Gateron Screw-In Stabilizers Lubed with Krytox 205g0
-Band-Aid Mod
-Wooting Double Shot Backlit White Key Caps
-Adhesive Puddy on underside of space bar key cap

My question is if there is anything I have overlooked or missed in order to make it any more thockier or silent in any capacity, the only one i can think of is ceramic keycaps, if anyone has anything constructive to add, please do so, would much appreciate it 🙏🏼

[glacial wind]

Not really much you can do there besides ceramic keycaps (which I don’t recommend generally). You could try out different switches to if there’s one you prefer better though, if you’re still using lekkers that is

[atomic dune]

i’m running gateron jade pros and i have lubed them myself with krytox

[glacial wind]

Oh then I wouldn’t change anything really

[atomic dune]

ok thank you!

[sacred elm]

Maybe try polyfill instead of foam

apparently it makes kb sound a bit deeper

[atomic dune]

poly fill to replace the bottom foam?

[sacred elm]

Yes instead of case foam

[atomic dune]

ok i will check it out thank you

[kind helm]

are you doing a wooting pcb swap mod or you waiting for leggera first

[glacial wind]

Ah nothing like a fresh layer of snow to wake you up in the morning

[kind helm]

beautiful

[noble mason]

pe foam sheet and poron plate foam on top of the pcb can help make it deeper as well

[slim drift]

is it worth lubing raw he switches or are they good factory

[kind helm]

its good factory

[atomic dune]

pe foam sheet for the base foam?

i already tried poron foam for the plate, the friction fit pad sounds deeper for me

[slim drift]

alr alr

also

if I am looking for a poppy profile do I buy a pom plate or an fr4

[noble mason]

no over the pcb

[kind helm]

probably pom, but i never tried pom. i only tried fr4

what case you on though

[sacred elm]

doesnt pe foam sheet mess with actuation

[slim drift]

tofu 60 redux

[cyan lark]

@violet fulcrum looking forward to hearing it mounted up

[slim drift]

with brass

[kind helm]

never tried pom, but fr4 is nice with tofu

[atomic dune]

ah alright

[slim drift]

alr bet

[kind helm]

#1308938534224138270 message old built i had with fr4 and tofu redux

pom i would expect the board to sound deeper than this

[slim drift]

that actually slaps

wtf

[stone flax]

pp

[noble mason]

yea i do think pp would be poppier than pom

[slim drift]

whats pp

[stone flax]

polypropylene

[noble mason]

polypropylene

[slim drift]

oooo

where can I get one

[noble mason]

you probably gotta get one cut

[slim drift]

that sounds complicated

is it that big of a difference to pom

[stone flax]

yeah

[noble mason]

not really you just send the plate file to a person who will cnc the plate for you

[stone flax]

can get one from hypekeebs

aswell as smkkeyboards

iirc

if u dont wanna send files

[slim drift]

alr I will check it

[noble mason]

a lot of kb enthusiasts prefer PP over POM bc it's so poppy

[kind helm]

wheres smkkeyboard from?

[slim drift]

looks right

[noble mason]

if you're from the US dont buy from hypekeyboards

[slim drift]

im from ireland

[noble mason]

oh then he works perfect for you

[slim drift]

why so

[noble mason]

by the way that says polycarbonate

not polypropylene

[slim drift]

my fault

ty for the website tho

rly cool that things like this exist

[noble mason]

there's shipping problems between the US and Canada atm

[slim drift]

oh.

trade war

;/

[slim drift]

how do I get the file for wooting btw

cuz on their list

I click it and kinda nothing happens

idk whyh

[noble mason]

i'm pretty sure he should have the wooting plate

[slim drift]

it does

but nothing pops up

[noble mason]

that's weird

[slim drift]

maybe out of stock?

wait

nvm

[noble mason]

join his discord he's pretty good at communicating

[kind helm]

https://hypekeyboards.ca/collections/in-stock-1/products/wooting-60he-plates

[slim drift]

wait thats actually genius

[slim drift]

ur a goat

[noble mason]

it's so unfortunate there's shipment problems between canada and the US

tom is the goat

[slim drift]

nah ur goated too you helping me out hella because I have no idea what I am doing

also what is the difference between screw in stabs and plate mount stabs

which si better

[noble mason]

screw ins are better but make sure your pcb supports screw ins

if you bought your 60HE recently then they should

[slim drift]

I bought it a year ago

[noble mason]

just make sure it’s the 60HE+ module

[runic coral]

im so geeked i just ordered mine

[slim drift]

nah its the old ojne

[noble mason]

then plate mount stabs

[slim drift]

alr alr gotchu

[slim drift]

for the case do I just choose stock

since its the same really

[noble mason]

wym the case

for the wooting?

[slim drift]

ye

[slim drift]

idk why I would need a specific cut out for the tofu

when the stock one works fine

[noble mason]

i’m not too sure abt that tbh, i thought he’d just cut out the plate for you

[slim drift]

he does

but it asks to select a case for the cut outr

[noble mason]

ig just specify which case you have

[slim drift]

but that makes me pay extra even tho it basically is the same as tofu

[noble mason]

you should ask him instead of me

join his discord

[slim drift]

alr gotchu

[stone flax]

choose standard

if its a traditional gh60 case

what case are u planning to use

[slim drift]

I currently have tofu

and will continue using tofu

[stone flax]

then choose standard

[slim drift]

gotchu

[stone flax]

i have a pp plate sound test somewhere

lemme find

@slim drift

[slim drift]

switches?

[stone flax]

geon raw he 60g

[slim drift]

its beautiful

u got any mods on it or

I have tape and thats rly it

[stone flax]

i think that build was a frog mini case with 80a tadpoles and no tadpoles near spacebar points

other than that its just raws + gmk + pp

[slim drift]

what on earth is a tadpole

[kind helm]

something speicifc to the case he has, pretty special stuff

something i wish i brought

[stone flax]

top mount esque

but instead of screws its with these sillicone "tadpoles"

[slim drift]

hmmmm alr alr

[slim drift]

so I dont gotta worry about that then gothcu

[slim drift]

bruh no way

[stone flax]

this is a a tadpole

[slim drift]

well I see why they are called tadpoles

[slim drift]

I need yall to be so fr is it worth paying 30 shipping for this dawg

like this has to come and make my jaw drop

[kind helm]

do you plan to get the raed?

[violet fulcrum]

AEboards Raed HE switches sound test

[slim drift]

those switches look so funky

[kind helm]

@polar girder i feel like this is your stuff

[kind helm]

any foam in there?

[stone flax]

down the line

[stone flax]

i assume bump isnt that strong

[violet fulcrum]

just plate

[kind helm]

bro just let his cable drop off the table in the middle

[jovial dust]

Does anyone create cases for the Two HE?

[violet fulcrum]

very noticeable bump at the top but it smoothens through out

[noble mason]

wait

is that topre?

[violet fulcrum]

topre domes with HE

[noble mason]

oh

[stone flax]

;<

[noble mason]

interesting

they sound kinda

mushy

like rubbery

[violet fulcrum]

no mush feel

[slim drift]

lads I have my hand up I have a question right,what is like the sound profile of a fr4 plate vs pp

[polar girder]

Fk now I want to try

[polar girder]

How do they feel

[noble mason]

pp should be deeper and poppier, fr4 is more like a middle ground in terms of sound

[tropic urchin]

FR4 is going to be equal parts clacky/'thocky', havent tried PP, but PC just made everything super muted and PP is softer than that

[noble mason]

pp is livelier than pc yea

[slim drift]

alr alr ty ty yall

[polar girder]

PP = poppy?

Never heard that one

[polar girder]

Livelier?

Huh

[noble mason]

that's just from what i've heard, seems like everyone says pp is poppier

[polar girder]

Yeah idk about that

[violet fulcrum]

nice round bump, soft but not mushy bottom out

[kind helm]

bigsly has pp

[polar girder]

Have you tried pp?

[polar girder]

Ok curious

[noble mason]

i havent but ive asked around and everyone says how poppy PP is

[polar girder]

lol tf

Poppy

Like pop noise loud and kind of snappy?

Tf

[noble mason]

the board sounds a little muted to me

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s mostly switches

[noble mason]

which ig isnt necessarily a bad thing

[polar girder]

Rubber dome

[violet fulcrum]

yep it has a silencing ring for the top out

[polar girder]

Rather than plastic slapping against each other

[polar girder]

You add that or stock?

[violet fulcrum]

comes stock

[slim drift]

is pp good for a poppy profile or would u reccomend something else

[polar girder]

PP is for soft muted sound

Fr4 or CF for loud poppy

[violet fulcrum]

.5mm poron ring

[polar girder]

Or alu

[slim drift]

alr alr gotchu

[polar girder]

That’s wild. You try without it?

[polar girder]

Or alu too

Those three personal preference

All solid

[slim drift]

I heard alot about fr4 ,something like this one https://www.aliexpress.us/item/1005006050178592.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt

[noble mason]

yea just stick with pp probably, alu and cf are more clacky than poppy and they're more expensive

[slim drift]

fair fair

[violet fulcrum]

not yet but judging by the height of the slider, i dont think it will hit the top without rings unless u hit it fast

thats for another day to try

[polar girder]

Makes sense

Am I just not understand “poppy”

[violet fulcrum]

these already my favorite right up there with geon raw

[noble mason]

i mean sound is subjective

[polar girder]

Preference is subjective. Sound is not.

[noble mason]

ok

[polar girder]

I would say sound waves are pretty objective.

[noble mason]

ok

[polar girder]

“Poppy” might not be tho.

All good.

[noble mason]

ok

[polar girder]

ok

[stone flax]

polypropylene

oh u meant the onamotapeoia

[polar girder]

lol thanks, chief

[noble mason]

anytime i've said pp i meant the material lol

[polar girder]

I’ve never never heard or thought PP sounds poppy

[stone flax]

i do

[polar girder]

But to each their own

[stone flax]

especially compared to the other plastics like pc or pom

[polar girder]

Yeah I think of the bubble pop sound you make with your mouth

[violet fulcrum]

Very minimal wobble

[noble mason]

woww

[tidal frigate]

Sound test?

[violet fulcrum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5Wq5yDI_DE

[noble mason]

i'm not sure if i like the sound of topre boards

i think it's the downstroke that im not into

it just sounds kinda mushy and muted, at least to my ears. im sure it doesnt feel mushy

[south swallow]

New build but the TOFU is so heavy and I’m actually considering sending it back 😭

[tidal frigate]

Tofu is light

3kg+ is heavy build

[chilly mural]

Hearing this makes me smile

[cyan lark]

I guess there’s a new silent he switch that can be recommended. Seems quite quiet

[stone flax]

tHockY He tOPRE rUbbEr DomeH

[south swallow]

Just feels so much heavier to me as it’s the most extensively I have modded a board. Used to my original gh60 case which was very light but I love the colour of the tofu. I think it could be the feet too as they’re dragging so I might take them off??? But I don’t know

[tidal frigate]

I have 2.5kg build and it is light

[violet fulcrum]

yeah though they arent deadsilent like the silent pheonix, i kinda like it that way

[tidal frigate]

Now we have to hear them in wooting

[fluid hedge]

speaking of the tofu, I already own a tofu60 (the dz60RGB model) not really sure what version this is because the product page is gone as it's a 4+ year old product but are the wooting 60he and this tofu60 version compatible, is it just safe to assume that any tofu60 (non redux) works?

I know that the non-redux model is harder to use because you have to line up the usb-c

[stone flax]

not the 2.0

[south swallow]

thats fair, im just new to heavier / more premium builds i guess

[violet fulcrum]

if you wanted more thock or volume out of these, i recommend to not use plate foam or case dampening

[cyan lark]

I’m not personally after quiet switches but it seems to come up pretty often

[stone flax]

what plate btw

[violet fulcrum]

alu
