interesting tech though

half hill
#

Needed help to select the switches, case(possibly something which is as tall as the optimum, steep and heavy which also has a good mounting for good sound quality basically), plate, stabilizers, foam and dampening materials, and also have rgb.
Wanted it to sound something like this:
edit: I am new to keyboard modding.

fallen pecan
#

This is a way better implementation of the tech

#

a non working mp4 to webm

stone flax

#

dunno why it wasnt embedding the mp4

fake vid, fake news

half hill
#

Can someone please help me finding a case which has spring leaf mounting and can be used to mod the wooting 60he

languid kestrel
#

the salvation I believe

half hill
#

Not available

#

B stock apparently

ionic breach
#

everything usualy have multiple vendors

little glen
#

can find used if you want

#

b stock is fine

#

i had no issues with my b stock

#

or you can probably find another vendor for it

half hill
ionic breach
half hill
#

Wait what?

ionic breach
#

the gamba is a seperate thing

little glen
#

b stock means it has some small defect

#

the salvation b stock does come in random color

#

but in general b stock means something else

half hill
#

Yeah

little glen
#

so far everyone that bought the b stock was happy with the color that i know of

half hill
little glen
#

of course you can be unlucky

#

but you can also find it new probably

#

itll just be way more expensive

half hill
#

I specifically want the black colour tbh

#

Does it sound much better?

#

Compared to tofu60/optimum?

languid kestrel
#

define better

half hill
#

Clickier

ionic breach
#

things like this means b stock

languid kestrel
#

probably sounds exactly the same tbh

Clicky is something else.

tawdry tree
half hill
#

This is clacky?

tawdry tree
#

Leaf spring is far more consistent than tray

#

not even comparable really.

tawdry tree
half hill
#

Oh yes then I am indeed looking for this

kind helm
little glen
#

thats like a deep quiet clack

half hill
little glen
#

dampening

tawdry tree
#

all tray is the same mm

little glen
#

look man just get a board and a case and start playing around with mods until you like it

#

we cant tell you what you will enjoy most

half hill
#

Needed help to select the switches, case(possibly something which is as tall as the optimum, steep and heavy which also has a good mounting for good sound quality basically), plate, stabilizers, foam and dampening materials, and also have rgb.

little glen
#

you can try tape mod, all kinds of foams in all kinds of places, different filling materials, different switches/keycaps/plate

half hill
little glen
#

get raw he or ttc pom switches, salvation case, fr4 plate, any decent stab, different foams to try them all and thats about it

#

find some keycaps you like

#

try out tape mod to see if you like it

half hill
#

Jade pros?

tawdry tree
#

jade pro and something like neo lavenders are more of a deep clack

little glen
#

any of the popular HE switches are rgb compatible

half hill
#

Oh alright

#

So jade pros or ttc rgb magneto?

little glen
#

NO

#

POM

tawdry tree
#

you want as loud as possible so TTC KoM POM.

chilly mural
#

Pipo Pipo Pom Pom

half hill
#

Will I achieve the sound I want using Pom or jade pros?

tropic urchin
half hill
#

Yh

kind helm
#

its always a surprise, something pleasant sometimes not

half hill
#

Extreme

half hill
reef oar
#

jade pros >

tropic urchin
#

Okay, I had the Rog Azoth moonlight so the version before and had a nice time with Jade pros, but I think POM are a better choice (will be louder than both pros and extreme)

tawdry tree
#

It’s either or.

kind helm
tropic urchin
#

But pick between pros, RAWs and POM imo for the marbly clack switches

chilly mural
kind helm
#

raw is not marbly

reef oar

#

@tropic urchin explain yourself

tawdry tree
tropic urchin
tawdry tree
#

I wouldn’t suggest Neo Lavenders, rather Everglide Magneto or Skylines

half hill
#

Is it that loud?

tawdry tree
#

When you use them.

tropic urchin
half hill
#

Damn I like it that way

tropic urchin
#

I can drop a test @half hill

half hill
tropic urchin
#

Using zinc + FR4 and POM

half hill
#

Yeah appreciate it

tropic urchin
#

I also have Jade pro too

#

If you wanna hear

half hill
#

So for the type of sound I want

#

Fr4 is the best?

#

Or is there anything better?

tawdry tree
tawdry tree
#

even louder.

little glen
#

fr4 is good middle

tropic urchin
tawdry tree
half hill
#

People said me not to take cf tho

half hill
tropic urchin
tawdry tree
tawdry tree
tropic urchin
#

The stem wobble between the two isn’t close, so I can’t go back anymore

half hill
#

Only if you don’t mind that is

vestal tiger
#

are pom the best marble calcky sound?

#

when will wooting sell them

thorn zealot
tawdry tree
tawdry tree
little glen
half hill
little glen
#

just stuff it with different foams until you like the sound

tawdry tree
tropic urchin
tawdry tree
#

but you get can jade pros off of ali

little glen
#

you can find jade pros on plenty of online stores

tawdry tree
#

for cheap

half hill
tropic urchin
#

You wanna hear on CF plate for Jade pros or nah

half hill
#

Yeah

thorn zealot
#

Thought u just said poms were too sharp sounding

little glen
#

do you have it on pc plate too just for completion sake

tropic urchin
tawdry tree
half hill
thorn zealot
#

??

half hill
#

It means jade pros don’t sound that good

tropic urchin
#

Sound tests won’t tell the whole story as it varies on setup, will sound different irl. I thought POMs would be a lot louder but they’re a nice volume imo

half hill
#

I just need like a clean sound

thorn zealot
#

Yes I can read English

half hill
#

Mb bro

thorn zealot
#

So just get poms and stuff with foam

little glen
#

yeah

half hill
#

Yeah

little glen
half hill
#

Plate?

polar girder
#

Yes you need a plate

little glen
#

just stuff it with foam or poly fill or something else

half hill
#

And stabilizer?

little glen
#

knight v2 are good

polar girder
#

Why you using so few words to communicate

tawdry tree
polar girder
#

So confusing lol

little glen
#

stock is fine

thorn zealot
#

Just keep everything stock, get poms, and stuff with foam

polar girder
#

Cemal is like talking in half sentences

thorn zealot
#

Simple

cyan lark
#

Whatcha putting together my dude?

tropic urchin
half hill
polar girder
#

But yeah whatever works

half hill
#

Fair enough

little glen
#

but yeah just get whatever switch looks cool and sounds ok to you, get a decent case like salvation and stuff it with foam until you like it most

half hill
#

So which plate should I be choosing though? Is there any comparison video on YouTube talking about the difference?

little glen
high sphinx
#

@little glen what plate u using for the salv again ?

little glen
#

i think i like fr4 a little more

high sphinx
little glen
#

i did a sound test 1 sec

cyan lark
little glen
polar girder
tropic urchin
polar girder
#

Yeah if you want louder brighter clack, go CF, Alu or FR4. If you want softer lower “thock” go PP, PC, POM or nylon

tropic urchin
#

If you think POM with FR4 is too sharp I’d look at the range before FR4

high sphinx
half hill
little glen
#

thats just no foam straight alu plate and geon raw he

#

on salvation case

half hill
#

Geon raw he vs Pom?

glacial wind
#

honestly this is getting way overanalysed at this point

little glen
#

pom is more stable but raw he is cheaper and has different sound

glacial wind
#

Just keep the stock plate, and pick switches you like

little glen
little glen
#

yeah just start off with stock plate and you can play around after

high sphinx
little glen
#

keyboard modding is fun anyway

half hill
little glen
#

look man, the best part of the hobby is that you can just try out different options until you dial it in exactly how you like it

#

no need to overthink it when you havent even listened to it yourself

glacial wind
#

The problem is folks are trying to give you basically the Michael Jordan 360 dunk tutorial when you’re still not even touched a basketball yet - if that analogy helps

#

What you need is to just start small, pick switches you like and you’re basically good for a start

little glen
#

recordings and sound tests will only ever get you so far when different aspects can change things completely that are non keyboard related (recording equipment, sound environment, desk, your headphones)

#

so just try things out and see how it sounds and feels in person

half hill
#

Ok last question, what are your thoughts on gasket mount and spring leaf?

thorn zealot
#

Better than tray

tropic urchin
#

Since Poms are on the expensive side, try RAWs to start and see if it fits your needs. Can always try POMs later if still interested

tawdry tree
#

DT60 vs Salv in this case.

half hill
#

Yh

glacial wind
#

They are both methods of mounting

#

That is my thought on it

glossy pagoda
#

Got any thoughts about other methods of mounting?

thorn zealot
#

They are all better than tray

glacial wind
#

I believe those other methods of mounting are also methods of mounting

thorn zealot
#

Thats what I think

cyan lark
#

Tray is the only pure mounting method.

little glen
glossy pagoda
#

Tray mounting is vanilla, got it

chilly mural
#

Mount and Blade Warband!!!

cyan lark
half hill
#

The thing is I don’t really want to make keyboard modding a hobby, I just want a final build I can play games on and feels premium asf

green pebble
#

Sounds like you'd be happy with an 80he then

little glen
#

i said the same thing a few months ago

glacial wind
#

Then all you need to worry about is finding a case you like and switches you like

little glen
#

look at me now

green pebble
#

Sounds pretty good right out of the box, swap the switches and you're golden.

chilly mural
glacial wind
#

Don’t overcomplicate it if you’re not into modding

half hill
cyan lark
#

Then get a 60HE?

half hill
#

Yeah but the sound

#

It’s so bad

glossy pagoda
little glen
#

60he + salvation + good switch you like

little glen
#

boom done

glacial wind
green pebble
#

A big selling point of the 60HE for me was how moddable it was. It's nowhere near the level of my custom boards but for a gaming keyboard it's easily the most moddable.

half hill
#

So which switch fits my description? Money isn’t an issue

glacial wind
#

So just worry about the switch and you’re good. Don’t overthink it by getting into plates and different foams etc - your 60he comes with everything else

cyan lark
#

What description?

glacial wind
#

Wasn’t the last 30 mins just people linking you sound tests of switches already

cyan lark
#

I'd just go watch/listen to sound tests and comparisons

half hill
#

If this is even possible

cyan lark
#

We can't really tell you what sound you will like

glacial wind
#

That was raw he switches

half hill
#




#

So I’m confused between raw he and Pom

#

Jade pros don’t sound that great

thorn zealot
#

What about doesn’t sound great

half hill
#

It’s just so inconsistent

ruby path
glacial wind
#

That’s just people over complicating things and you getting confused because you’re mixing up sound tests from different cameras now

half hill
#

And the sound itself isn’t great

tawdry tree
glacial wind
#

If you liked raw he it’s highly unlikely that you think jade pro is also awful - you probably just are comparing 2 very different mics

ruby path
thorn zealot
#

To make it easier to define what u want

half hill
#

It’s pretty hard ngl

#

Hold on let me find a video maybe

#

I actually would prefer either that

#

Or maybe this

green pebble
glacial wind
tropic urchin
cyan lark
#

Sounds like a bunch of foam

little glen
#

yeah my stuff is using a proper mic, some of the other tests posted were with phone mic etc

glossy pagoda
#

On Thursday we'll be selling POM switches and RAWs, pick up both and see your preference in the real world

thorn zealot
glossy pagoda
#

Nah

#

Between 0 and 100,000

cyan lark
glacial wind
#

Tldr is you’ll probably be happy with raw he or jade pro - both being very similar sounding switches

little glen
#

yeah as i said, trying it yourself in person is always the best benchmark

cyan lark
#

Always edging the people

half hill
glossy pagoda
green pebble
#

I'd go with the raw he over the jade pro simply because it's got better compatibility with the LEDs on the board.

#

The little plastic diffuser is nice and it doesn't alter the colour of your rgb at all

kind helm
half hill
glacial wind
#

For the love of god please

kind helm
green pebble
#

They both have very little stem wobble and have a very similar sound profile, slightly different typing feel

#

different spring weights

ruby path
#

Wait until he find out you can make franken switches

cyan lark
#

That wasn't meant to be a reply >_>

#

I like that you guys love to be hyper exact and meticulous with helping but you can way over help sometimes and confuse folks looking for a generalised recommendation

On another topic, can I purchase the silicon plate dampener separate from the pc plate?

cyan lark
#

Starting to sound like keeb nerd fanfic

little glen
glacial wind
#

Just buy the raw he honestly

tropic urchin
glacial wind
#

When they come out on Thursday or whatever just buy them with your wooting order

half hill
glacial wind
#

foam and plate come with your module

#

You don’t need to add those

I can finally hit radiant with this keyboardđŸ€©

chilly mural
#

Keyboard don't make you good, but it can make the game much more enjoyable which translate to more time on game.

tawdry tree
#

I’m gonna make one last suggestion, order Raw HEs from ali (70pcs) and order 10pcs of TTC POMs, Jade Pros and Everglide Skylines.

#

If money is truly a non-issue

#

won’t be that expensive

half hill
#

It’ll be available on wootings official site right?

tawdry tree
#

No

thorn zealot
#

The kb will not get u there

half hill
tawdry tree
#

Oh you get everything from Woot, nvm then.

half hill
#

Obviously not

thorn zealot
#

Ik

half hill
#

I’m hardstuck asc

thorn zealot

It’s just some ppl actually think that

He likely wants it all simple if he’s mailing to India

It's the cat ear headphones that will get you there.

tawdry tree

which part of india prob matters a lot

half hill
#

Not really

#

I live in Bangalore

tawdry tree
half hill
#

I’m not sure if yk about this but Bangalore is like the IT hub

#

And you can’t get it shipped here

#

So you can’t get it anywhere

tawdry tree
#

tough

half hill
#

And that’s the reason I wanted a final decision on my switches, I mean money isn’t an issue but that doesn’t mean I’ll just get everything just to select which one works, right?

cyan lark
#

It doesn't?

Ok nvm I forgot alibaba exists for India, which is basically Ali express

can someone point me to a sound test between raw and poms

are lekkers 60 v2 clacky or thocky

polar girder

I really don’t feel like putting together a raw board just to take it apart again lol

#

Yeah dude I just need POM’s

#

Actually bummed about the heavier spring weight tho

marsh saffron
harsh dove
#

volume on these is low so turn it up

polar girder
marsh saffron
#

Yeah I don't really know how to explain lekker sound

#

Most definitely far from clack

@harsh dove on the right one wich plate u using ?

harsh dove
#

POM

sour blade
harsh dove
#

no

frog mini

wild root
#

i use lekker 45v2s

polar girder
#

Frog mini. The real frog

sour blade
#

oh real frog

#

O:

cyan lark
# harsh dove frog mini

The frog here sounds fairly similar to salv to me. Hard to tell from recordings though. You think?

wild root
#

raws are closest to v2s just from the sound of it and poms are like blues if i had to compare with my experience on switches lol

#

maybe its just ur audio tho

polar girder
#

Ok done

#

Now just need POM’s

#

I really don’t want the heavier spring. Depending on price I might just go with the red/blue/violet TTC

sour blade
#

dam 40 dollars for a custom job + materials is kinda cheap

#

and shipping

#

and packaging

#

what the hell

polar girder
#

lol yeah but pretty much otherwise an impossible to find product

#

So yeah whatever

#

I said that last time then bought 3 of them tho dogekek

sour blade
#

i mean its actually cheap no sarcasm

harsh dove
#

I think Salv can sound more tinny sometimes

cyan lark
#

Just hit me with a similar light/airy sound of my own salv I guess

harsh dove
#

Ah okay, yeah that's how I'd describe the Salv

#

when I first made that Frog video, I called it Creamy Clack lol

sour blade
#

never had a frog always assumed it would be less airy than Salv

harsh dove
#

Yeah I feel like it is

sour blade
#

since Salv is forced to have all that empty space at the bottom

#

well not forced, i guess you could kinda fill it with foam with cutouts

harsh dove
#

Yeah you can, I've done it before, but the frog doesn't have anything in the bottom either

#

they both dont use case foams

sour blade
#

mayble ill mess around with Salv case foam

#

sounds fun

cyan lark
#

I'd be interested in hearing the results if you care to record

sour blade
#

idk how much iphone audio can do

cyan lark
#

No worries

half hill
half hill

Ordered a couple new mics so should be interesting to get some quality sound tests once I build this venom

wild root
half hill
#

Not great honestly

#

I don’t own this keyboard

#

But it’s not great

stone flax
#

seeing as the led’s on a wooting are north facing and not south

cyan lark
half hill
#

So will it be the same?

stone flax
polar girder
#

No switch wil “give you that effect”

stone flax
#

the keycaps and board you showcased

polar girder
#

More of a PCB and keycap thing

#

Most switches accommodate RGB

stone flax
#

south facing led’s and sidelit keycaps

#

neither would work the same for wooting

#

since its north facing

#

ergo

#

not as bright

#

couple in opaque housings on the switch

#

not as bright

harsh dove
#

yeah side print legends are really meant for south facing LEDs

#

Which wooting does not have

#

In other words they won't look as good on a wooting

polar girder
#

Just buy centerpiece pro if you want some crazy LED rgb like that IMO

cyan lark
#

Or just a board w/ south facing LEDs if that is a priority for you.

#

I think Bigs is funning a little.

polar girder
half hill
#

Not a priority

polar girder
trail bane
#

When are the new Wooting switches coming out?) 👀

polar girder
#

Seems like RGB is of upmost importance

stone flax
polar girder
#

Then centerpiece pro is goated

#

Finalmouse keyboard

half hill
#

Nah it’s not anything important

polar girder
#

lol ok nvm

half hill
#

Can you explain me what south facing and north facing leds are though?

stone flax
#

led on top = north (what wooting has)

half hill
#

Yeah makes sense

stone flax
#

led on bottom = south (what pairs well with sidelit keycaps)

#

aka the video u showed earlier

#

is south facing

stone flax
#

wdym work

half hill
#

As in will it be bright enough

vast yoke
half hill
trail bane
trail bane
tawdry tree
#

so again, it won’t be as bright as you see in the video

#

using a switch with a translucent housing helps a bit but not worth to change to RGBs just for that.

half hill
#

Will these work?

vast yoke
#

if you want rgb, just look at the glorious aura keycaps

green pebble
#

So again this is another sidelit keycap set. "Will this work" is a bit of a reductive question. They'll all work, is it going to be as bright and as apparent as on a PCB with south facing LEDs? No. Are you still going to see the RGB effect? Yes.

#

The only things that will really impact your lighting assuming you go for keycaps designed with RGB in mind is the switch opacity since you can't change the led position.

he doesnt, cause that video was about the switches and sound. not rgb

half hill
#

I just want a switch with 0 wobbly sound effects

#

Basically a clean sound effect

#

Like mechanical keyboards

green pebble
#

Unfortunately no HE switch is going to sound as good as a traditional mechanical switch does. Not yet at least.

half hill
#

True

#

But what’s the closest?

#

Like the cleanest out of all

#

With very less wobble

sacred elm
#

ttc has least amount of wobble and ttc pom sound is cleanest out of ttc lineup

marsh saffron
#

@harsh dove sorry for the ping but can you tell me how the stem wobble is on the raeds? Worse or better than og jades?

half hill
#

With cf plate

sacred elm
#

they still have good wobble tho

#

get raws if you want rgb

half hill
#

Are raws better than ttc rgb?

sacred elm
#

raws will sound cleaner

#

than rgb version of ttc

green pebble
#

^

half hill
#

And Pom sounds cleaner than raws?

sacred elm
#

@tropic urchin

green pebble
#

The full Pom housing may help them sound "cleaner"

#

But because you want RGB the Pom version may affect how bright your LEDs appear

#

Since there's only a small window for the LED to shine through + a diffuser.

sacred elm
#

wooting version of ttc poms will have better rgb than current poms

tropic urchin
#

Oh boy

harsh dove
#

They're even slightly better than Jade Pros imo

green pebble
#

On the raw he there is a diffuser but also the top housing also acts as a diffuser

tropic urchin
#

I thought he decided on raws 💀

half hill
green pebble
#

I think he's suffering from decision paralysis

half hill
#

Yeah

green pebble
#

Just buy both you said money isn't an issue.

#

Worst case scenario you sell the one you don't like

half hill

lol no sell just hoarde

marsh saffron
sacred elm
tropic urchin
#

POMs have less stem wobble than RAWs bc of their boxstem so you can say they’ll have a cleaner sound than RAWs but they’re louder than RAWs. Both are good switches, you just gotta buy one or both.

#

My original idea still stands for picking them out of a hat if you can’t decide

marsh saffron

What kind of shine through keycaps should work for Pom then?

# half hill I need to get the lube as well?

The TTC switches are factory lubed. People like to hand lube, either for consistency or because they want to control the application themselves. Nowadays factory lube jobs are really well done. My Vertex V1 mechanical switches have a factory lube job about as good as hand lubing. Gateron Oil Kings are another example of a more mass produced switch with a good factory lube job. Even the Raw HE has a pretty good factory lube application.

gateron has silent genty switches with 3.8mm travel and i think they have better wobble than lekkers

Any shine through keycaps for Poms?

green pebble
# half hill Any shine through keycaps for Poms?

The effect is going to be minimized because of the small LED window and opaque housing. Combined with the north facing LED side legend shine through keycaps won't have as bright of an effect as what you seem to want.

#

If it were a south facing LED you would be fine since the LED is positioned where you want it to shine on the legends

#

It will still be apparent and visible but just not as prominent as what you seem to want.

half hill
#

No what I meant was shine through keycap which is compatible enough for it to work with the north facing led

# half hill Any shine through keycaps for Poms?

poms will have worse rgb than raws, doesnt matter which keycaps you get. raws have very little wobble already, not as good as poms but theyre pretty stable. also they are 2x cheaper. you need to stop overcomplicating stuff and just get raw hes if you want bright rgb.

#

I've explained the same thing and the answer is not going to change man. Put a lamp behind a chair can you still see the light when you stand in front of the chair?

#

Now put the lamp in front of the chair

#

The light is brighter

#

Put a lamp behind the chair and cover the sides of the lamp, can you still see the light from in front of the chair? Sure it's just dimmer.

half hill
#

Nah nah hear me out I need something like this, with high quality thick pbt keycaps, cherry profile

green pebble
#

Any doubleshot or etched keycap for shine through will give you that look.

#

Shine through keycaps have to be thinner by design though. It's just the property of the material.

#

You can take a look at YMDK. They make a lot of shine through stuff.

#

Just don't go in with the expectation that it'll be up to the same standard as GMK or PBTFans or something like that.

Designer Kema is bringing the funk back for round 2! GMK Future Funk R2 will use the same vibrant colors as R1 and features some additional kit offerings and a matching Hibi keycap! Depending on the keyboards, with the extra keys provided with the light alphas addon kit you can build out two full boards with purchase of the base and light alphas.
