Hi, whatever I do my spacebar stab sounds like on video. I tried lubing, wire balancing, taping wire ends and holee mod. Is there any other option to make it sound normal?

tawdry tree
#

Are you sure the wire is balanced?

polar agate
#

I tried it few times

tawdry tree
#

And are your stabs currently holee modded?

polar agate
#

And still sounds like this

#

On video no

#

I tried it after it

polar agate
tawdry tree
polar agate
#

I tried it too

#

But still doesnt help

tawdry tree
#

If you put it upside down, is it still the right side that ticks?

polar agate
#

Still

tawdry tree
#

It could be that the stab housing itself is defective or something

#

if you fill the stem up with lube

#

it should be a temporary fix

#

could get some 3rd party stabs like TX APs, Staebies or SW Knight V2s.

Like I thought

It’s very possible. We know Hejin loves recolors so a Duhuk recolor wouldn’t surprise me.

You can also spring swap if you’re concerned about weight

#

when you gotta pay extra for that shit, we have extraterrestrial inflation

cyan lark
#

I believe that was confirmed, but one thing we don't actually have from the horse's mouth is the bottom out force for the OG POMs. Going off what milktooth listed AFAIK.

#

So tl;dr I don't think we know for sure if the spring weight in the lekker poms is actually changed, unless there was confirmation of that that I missed.

#

But again you can spring swap if that's your biggest/only concern

haughty ingot
#

OG poms are what you buy when you buy ttc poms elsewhere and lekker poms are the upcoming wooting collab?

cyan lark
#

Yeah

#

I dunno how else to name them for now until we know if there's any actual differences other than recolor šŸ™‚

haughty ingot
#

ok tyvm! hummm now i gotta think

young surge
#

Hey, new here to wooting. Quick question.
Would the tape and Siless mat work with the friction fit pad?
I assume the tape would but I'd rather ask professionals before doing something like this.

#

If not I'll probably stick to just tape

cyan lark
#

Wooting sells spring packs. You can also go elsewhere like AliExpress, but you gotta make sure they're HE compatible springs.

#

Right

cyan lark
#

And how much room there is below where the PCB will rest

#

Tape should be fine though as long as you don't go too nuts and thicken it to the point that the USB port no longer lines up

young surge
#

I'll probably have to test it myself then when I get everything I need. Will post a update if it works or not
Keyboard mod alone will probably make a nice difference

young surge
cyan lark
#

Just don't remove the adhesive on your Siless pad before you fit test it šŸ™‚ (or at all)

young surge
#

I only have the default keyboard atm which is the plastic one
But it is he+ so maybe

#

I plan to upgrade to metal at a later date

cyan lark
#

Mm I don't think the friction fit is compatible w/ the plastic case 😦

#

Too tight if I recall correctly

young surge
#

Ah
Well since I plan to upgrade in the future at least I can store it away

cyan lark
#

Yup. And do note that when you do make the change you will probably want to make sure that your metal case is grounded properly so you don't zap your PCBA.

young surge
#

Makes sense
Was thinking of getting a tofu redux possibly so I'd make sure to put that right screw in

cyan lark
#

Can either achieve it w/ 1 screw or a conductive pad connecting the USB grounding sheathe to the case (similar to the Optimum case)

young surge
#

I been thinking of getting the optimum case though I'd probably end up with 2 friction pads

cyan lark
#

Could always try to sell it to someone else on here if you did I guess, but they're not much $ so shipping alone might eat it all up šŸ™‚

young surge
#

I'd probably just save it incase I build a friend one

#

Trying to win one in the giveaway because
Obviously
But if that doesn't work out I can always build one for him for like a birthday gift

glacial wind
#

better odds than the lottery at least

young surge
#

#

I've won weirder before anyways

#

Even if that doesn't work out I don't mind making a custom anyways

There can be but it's hard to say without experiencing yourself

#

For example the Lekker switches Wooting provides have the weight in their names - L45 uses 45gf springs, L60 is 60gf

chilly mural
#

turbo no moving part, just magnet, housing, and stem

haughty ingot
cyan lark
#

But you can also put in super light or super heavy springs. Wooting sells (IIRC) 20gf up to 100gf springs

tropic urchin
#

But if you want longer HE springs, there aren’t a lot of good 3rd party ones for those curious

cyan lark
#

Not exact numbers but they sell lighter and heavier springs than are offered in most switches by default.

haughty ingot
#

so if I like the switch but want a slightly different feel I can change the spring

#

seems like default for ttc pom is 20

ionic breach

damn thought it was 21

When I slightly press on any button, Wootility says that it’s 0.08. I can’t press the button to 0.01 or something similar. Is that okay? I’m using jade non-pro switches.

normal

Maybe

kinda wishing its 21mm too

#

i know the weight got changed tho

# sacred elm yes

Is that because the board or jade pro switches can show something like 0.01? I understand that Wooting supports 0.1 and less is considered useless, but it’s still interesting to me

Stabilizers can arguably make or break a keyboard and you want to know what the best ones are. I mean, who wouldn’t want the best for their keyboard, right? The problem is that there are so many different stabilizers to choose from. How do you choose the best ones? Well, let me give you my personal tier list of what I think the best stabilizers ...

#

Here’s a list of all the best

#

The ones I sent you are in this list

#

And considered one of the best

polar agate
#

Yea, but are tx better? Cause with delivery it cost 20€, so on AliExpress i can buy better with free delivery for the same price

harsh dove

Well then just get TX

#

tx are good too

Ok

TTC’s springs aren’t available separately. You can use springs intended for KS-20 switches, they will work but have a slightly larger diameter (I haven’t noticed anything bad when using those in TTCs). You can get extended ones on Ali.

#

where’s the int keys?

#

oh nvm

#

does anyone have any switch recommendations for me? ive had my 80he for a month now and im still trying to find the best switches. originally started with the 45g lekkers and they felt ok. switched over to 40g geon raw hes and these are way too light, i mispress all the time and i ended up having to set my actuation in wootility to like 1.5mm for it to feel okay typing. for context i used to mainly use cherry mx reds/ gateron reds/ switched over to ktt strawberries (which i love)

#

i wanted to go lighter because i mainly play games but im finding that im just accidentally strafing left or right because i lean my hand too heavy on the keyboard and itll actuate

#

i was thinking of looking at the 60g bottom out switches since the ktt strawberries are 62g bottom out force but i know that magnetic switches r a bit different in their feel in general so i was wondering if 50g would be a good middle ground?

I installed new stabilizers for my jades since the travel distance change, and all of them seem to work fine except the spacebar

#

It just sticks down

#

Is this a lube issue? As I have not lubed them yet

More consistent and cheaper.

Are they making a ocean wave keycap set for the 80he

tawdry tree
#

Maybe some day

ripe void
#

Hope so I want a good black and blue set for my board but dunno which brand to trust need a uk layout

#

Any recommendations for wooting 80he cherry keycaps that are on the darker side, ANSI profile & side-profile? (I find OEM keycaps too big :P)
I would also take recommendations on fancy keycaps with art that aren't on the high expensive side!

jaunty mauve

Side lit

#

okie

#

Do note that wooting led’s are not southfacing

#

so the shinethrough wont be as bright nor perceptible

jaunty mauve
#

that's fine im no high on the bright rgb hype

#

I find side-lit/side-profile cleaner

stone flax
#

Yeah im just saying the shinethrough legends themselves wont be as perceptible

Ight I guess we building some keebs

I am poor so I have to use an enter key as my spacebar for now šŸ˜Ž

i just realized

was friction pad a a cope-oring because there arent cutouts on 60he pcb

i see i see because yeah 40g way too fucking light for my liking

Properly.

Wait

Plate?

i tried lekkers v1 (green 60g) they were heavy at first but i got use to them

tawdry tree

i thought it was just pcb mounts

tawdry tree
#

Oh no

untold wigeon
#

Mf on Reddit lied to me

tawdry tree
#

Well

tawdry tree
untold wigeon
#

All the other keys are fine, it’s just the spacebar

tulip rapids
stone flax
#

ymmv thing

tawdry tree
#

For the plate mounts it’s not exactly the same as they do fit but there’s still a friction issue

stone flax
#

mhm

untold wigeon
#

Which stabilizers SHOULD I get then, if you can help a man out

tawdry tree
#

lemme see if I can find the message

untold wigeon
#

Because I use jades

stone flax
#

or knights

#

or designer studios

#

or durock v3

untold wigeon
#

Which one has the quickest shipping HmmYes

stone flax
#

so if i had to reckon then that

#

other stabs you could probably buy from a vendor and pick it up the same day tho

#

lol

tawdry tree
stone flax
#

Depends where you are

tawdry tree
#

Which keycaps are you using @untold wigeon

stone flax
#

are we sure its a stab tolerance issue

tulip rapids
#

when you have time aligner i can some questions about long pole stabs

stone flax
#

or just overlubing or something else

tawdry tree
#

Thackson had it too

stone flax
#

because tx ap is fuck easy to feel mushy when both dry and overlubed

untold wigeon
#

Although I’m getting a kbdfans in the mail soon

tawdry tree
untold wigeon
#

I’m cursed af

#

So for now I’m just doing this

tawdry tree
#

Did you try swapping them around? So the stabs of space to backspace for example to see if they work?

untold wigeon
#

That’s impossible

cyan lark
#

My eyes

untold wigeon
#

I reset my settings so it’s on default lighting

tawdry tree
tawdry tree
#

Did you assemble them?

untold wigeon
#

Yea

#

I meant for the spacebar at least

tawdry tree
#

You can’t take them out anymore?

untold wigeon
#

Since the screw is right where the bar would be if you reversed it

tawdry tree
#

šŸ¤”šŸ¤”

untold wigeon
#

I was going to try that

tawdry tree
#

You can take them out without issue. Just take the switch off and lift the stabs out

untold wigeon
#

Yea I did

cyan lark
#

Could you just go back to stock for spacebar stabs?

tawdry tree
#

shouldn’t be hindered by a screw or something

tawdry tree
untold wigeon
#

Switch it for the slick one from the board

#

Oh god I have to unscrew this shit again SwitchyStare

tawdry tree
#

No, why?

#

Take spacebar stabs and backspace stabs out, swap the wires and install them again, see how they work.

untold wigeon
#

also typing on these jades are a little different, has like a little bit of force needed

#

over the lekers atleast

haughty ingot
tawdry tree
untold wigeon
#

I mean I’m gonna do it but I’m not gonna enjoy doing it

tawdry tree
#

ā€œdisassembleā€ meaning just taking the stabs out in this case

untold wigeon
#

Unscrew the board

#

Unscrew the pcb

tawdry tree
#

WHY

untold wigeon
#

Wdym

tawdry tree
#

WHY UNSCREW?!

#

haha

untold wigeon
#

You literally can’t take them out…?

#

Or am I a goober

tawdry tree
#

bro how did you install them, they come out the way you installed them

untold wigeon
#

Unscrew the board

#

Unscrew the pcb

#

Pop them out

#

Pop the new ones in

tawdry tree
untold wigeon
#

Im going to kill myself

tawdry tree
#

that’d be unnecessary

#

😭

#

you learn something everyday bro

tropic urchin
#

That’s the one thing I’m thankful for the module option, teaches you so much for future additions

untold wigeon
#

I did so much screwing and unscrewing

#

Because I saw people do that in the mod videos

If I bought it prebuilt the 80HE JST cable I’d crash out ngl

#

Alright moment of truth

tawdry tree
untold wigeon
#

Wdym I swapped out the spacebar bar for the stock one

#

How would backspace work?

tawdry tree
#

šŸ¤”

untold wigeon
#

I didn’t change back to the stock stabs, just the bar

#

Cause I like sorta chipped one of the housings

#

Doesn’t matter too much

tawdry tree
#

Oh. Take out the stabs of space and backspace, swap the wires and install them again

#

you can try the stock stabs on space as well

#

if you still have them

untold wigeon
#

How would that work? The backspace is teeny

tawdry tree
#

You can take the wire out the same way you put it in

untold wigeon
#

No I mean like

tawdry tree
#

the wire is what determines the width

untold wigeon
#

What?

tawdry tree
#

..

#

do you have the stock stabs still?

untold wigeon
#

How would swapping these work

marsh saffron
#

Just take the housings

untold wigeon
#

Gotcha

tawdry tree
# untold wigeon

swap the housing, so take the wire out of the backspace stab housing and put them in space

#

to test if they work like that

untold wigeon
#

Oh

#

I thought you were saying like

tawdry tree
#

so you know if it’s the housing that causes it

untold wigeon
#

Swap the wires

marsh saffron
#

Whats going on just some stuck stabs or what?

tawdry tree
#

ye

untold wigeon
#

Just the space though

marsh saffron
#

Aftermarket or stock stabs?

tawdry tree
#

TX APs (as usual)

untold wigeon
#

Aftermarket cause I got the jades

marsh saffron
#

Yeah try what aligner said

#

Stock stabs for space and if the tx aps work elsewhere then there you go

#

I still use the stock 60he plate mounts :p

untold wigeon
#

If I put back the stock stabs it works

#

But it has a tiny bit of like, tilting

#

If I press the sides

marsh saffron
#

really?

untold wigeon
#

Yea, which is why I wanted the long poles

#

But looking at these long poles I can barely distinguish them from the regular ones

marsh saffron
#

fortunately my xray set has very tight tolerance on the stem holes

tulip rapids
marsh saffron
#

i dont need long poles, shit is holding onto my stab stems for its life dogekek

marsh saffron
calm pulsar
#

geon stem spacers

marsh saffron
#

tbh idk any stabs

#

im on 60he non plus

#

i just use the stock ones but tuned/lubed

tulip rapids
#

or all the same shit

tropic urchin
tropic urchin
#

the jade issue only really happened on the space bar and even those who had stock stabs only like 50% reported having the issue where the ends of the space bar will jut out with decent pressure being applied

#

i been debating to buy ttc switches since i seen some people hype them up as well or do they sound/feel horrible compared to geon raw he?

tulip rapids
marsh saffron
#

yeah a few months ago

#

love them

tulip rapids
marsh saffron
#

got them like 2 days before christmas

tropic urchin
#

only real issue is if you are on a tight budget then the TTC POMs will be an unattractive option at $1 per switch

marsh saffron
#

not the greatest of photos ive taken..

round sparrow
#

For now the best switches imo are still the geon raws

tulip rapids

the TTC box stem lineup have the best switch stability on the market (literally 0 wobble), sound will be personal preference

with raeds

round sparrow

Raeds?

untold wigeon
#

I managed to get the replacements Lubed

tidal frigate
#

Raeds he

untold wigeon
#

But they still don’t lift up

#

So it’s an issue with the stabs themselves probably

#

So I’ll tolerate the space bar having a little bit of wob

#

And use the stock stabs

tropic urchin
tropic urchin
#

RAWs are still the king for low cost switches, but TTC POMs currently are the max stability switches with extremely close to 0 wobble (so far my favorite switch)

#

its something you dont get until you try (i was a TTC hater for 4-5 months until I tried the new POMs)

#

those original KOMs were just fucking terrible for sound 😭

tulip rapids
#

okay thx for the advice

#

i'll try out the ttc poms

#

where you buy them from? divinikey?

tropic urchin
#

I bought them from milktooth since im US based, I believe for non US you'll wanna use Aliexpress @calm pulsar any other etailers that sell them you know?

calm pulsar
#

a ton on aliexpress, you can sompare prices from different vendors

tulip rapids
#

i know wooting gonna sell ttc switches soon but idk if theyre poms

calm pulsar

I ordered ttc rgb for like $61
