[glacial wind]

the problem is everything after x date is all closed bottoms lol

[thorn zealot]

I’ve had enough of this earlier

[calm pulsar]

true, and that's for good imo

[cyan lark]

Yeah sorry I was pretty busy so I didn't get to play. It seemed too chaotic anyway.

[glacial wind]

this was easier when it was WoW and i could just color code by phase release

[thorn zealot]

I’m jealous u weren’t part of that convo

[cyan lark]

Real answer: is it really necessary to color code at all? I'd think just a table w/ textual attributes you can filter by would be most useful

[thorn zealot]

Gotta make it look good and appealing

[tawdry tree]

is it a coincidence that he gets called homeless the moment he switches back to POMs?!

[cyan lark]

🤷 just gimme the db 🙂

[glacial wind]

no that's called jelly haters

[tawdry tree]

😂

[thorn zealot]

Especially for newcomers looking for creamy switches

[glacial wind]

hrm maybe i just color code the few switches that are not compatible

[cyan lark]

Ahh I apologized for the creamy, should not have resurrected it

[harsh dove]

Hmm good point

[harsh dove]

Yeah we no longer use creamy, they are now referred to as "Liquid Taps"

[cyan lark]

I do not like this

[harsh dove]

You weren't at the council to vote

[cyan lark]

This was voted on?!

[harsh dove]

Yeah you missed it

[glacial wind]

alternatively the council also accepts liquid maxxing

[cyan lark]

No. Nuh uh.

[harsh dove]

We no longer say creamy, thock, or clacky

They are now referred to as Taps

Deep Taps

Bright Taps

[cyan lark]

Wet taps?

[harsh dove]

Liquid Taps

Yes, Wet Taps

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/bye-slide-baby-later-peace-out-gif-259774278467063960

Y'all have lost your way

[ionic breach]

liquid taps dont sound viscous enuf lmao

[harsh dove]

Nah, it's like discovering new land, we found a new way

[harsh dove]

Hmm, you're right.. we shall change it to Glaze Taps

Creamy now = Glaze Taps

[cyan lark]

What do you want, Pus Taps?

I feel unwell now.

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-sick-ventilator-dying-gif-786943353167798403

[thorn zealot]

I confirm bright taps

[harsh dove]

Bright Taps is a good one

[thorn zealot]

Idk personally I like edge taps

[cyan lark]

As does Mark

[tropic urchin]

Clacky taps it is

[thorn zealot]

No no

[harsh dove]

No

No Clacky

[thorn zealot]

Not clacky

Bright

[cyan lark]

So what you're adopting audiophile lingo?

[thorn zealot]

Keep up with regulation

[thorn zealot]

No

[cyan lark]

[cyan lark]

Is that a franken between Drunk stems and Homeless housing?

[harsh dove]

[marsh saffron]

Cardboard switch 😭

[cyan lark]

I gotta head out for a while, hope the council doesn't make more wild changes while I'm gone, though I fear the worst.

[kind helm]

cardboard housing with stem made out of beer bottle caps

[dusk isle]

need thoss

[fluid ravine]

Tell me da way

[cedar gate]

i wish there was a good thocky HE switch\

the clack is a nice refresh but thock is still king IMO

[thorn zealot]

Buy both

Simple

[thorn zealot]

Sorry sir but we don’t use the word “thock” anymore

It’s called deep taps

[empty acorn]

Im looking for best keyboard case

considering fjell60 satin60

[cedar gate]

fjell sounds like an aluminum can imo

just not pleasant

i like the tofu

[tawdry tree]

Raedssssssssssss

[polar girder]

lol how does tofu sound better than Fjell??

[cedar gate]

i personally think the tofu sounds better than any other case

i would honestly put fjell at the bottom

it just sounds like a can

[tawdry tree]

surely this guy has tried “any other case” right?

[polar girder]

https://tenor.com/view/workaholics-blake-anderson-blake-henderson-fur-sure-for-sure-gif-4276923

[ionic breach]

lmao let him have his own taste

[tawdry tree]

own taste is fine. had to have tried some before you can judge though.

[cedar gate]

I have tried the alumaze and a few others

but just from the tests fjell sucks

imo

[tawdry tree]

I haven’t tried Fjell

Fjell with weight sounds more like a can than Tofu with/without?

[marsh saffron]

Tofu clears alumaze imo

[lapis raven]

that was fast for the ttc's

[tawdry tree]

In terms of sound, for sure.

[lapis raven]

that was like a few days

[polar girder]

Neither has he lol

But all good. I digress.

[calm pulsar]

after trying alternative mounting cases, tray mounting ones like tofu or fjell are kinda meh now

but friction moung is still nice in them

[polar girder]

Right

With post delete

[calm pulsar]

clack maxxing on freebird

[marsh saffron]

My scuffed ass medical tape mod does the trick well enough

[tropic urchin]

What are good replacement stabs for the Two HE

[cedar gate]

no need for 2 he tbh

just a side grade

[prime orbit]

So I’m trying to put a POM plate in

And the screws won’t fit now?

Had a pc plate before so kind of confused what happened

[harsh dove]

Does it have countersunk screw holes?

If not you might need longer screws

[prime orbit]

Just looked

Went from wooting pc plate

Which has standoffs

Bag has standoffs for the Pom plate tho

[harsh dove]

Oh you didn't have the standoffs installed?

[prime orbit]

Like the the board?

In*

It’s built into the pc player

Plate

[harsh dove]

I know, I'm talking about the POM plate, you were saying the screws didn't fit

[prime orbit]

Yes it comes with standoffs in the bag

[harsh dove]

based on what you said I thought you were saying you didn't install the standoffs on the POM

like as if you were trying to install the plate without the standoffs installed and forgot so to speak

[prime orbit]

That’s exactly what happened 💀

[harsh dove]

Ah okay lmao

[prime orbit]

Didn’t know I had to install them

Since the wooting ones have them

[harsh dove]

Yeah haha

Yeah sadly 3rd party plates don't have preinstalled standoffs

[prime orbit]

Like this works?

[harsh dove]

Yep

you might need another screwdriver to help tighten them cause sometimes you cant get them tight enough like that

Just don't overtighten and strip the threads

[prime orbit]

Kk

[lapis raven]

me when i do not care

[prime orbit]

@harsh dove

Uh I don’t have enough standoffs

Which do I use?

[arctic quail]

I need it replaced that's why I'm asking 💀

[harsh dove]

They should've sent you enough standoffs no?

Oh

you misplaced one

[prime orbit]

There are 2

But I think I figured it out

Yeah

[harsh dove]

2 actually

yeah

left side and in the middle

you have extras

[prime orbit]

I’m using the friction fit pad and 2 of the holes look different

Okay

[harsh dove]

yeah just line up the holes on the PCB and remove the middle one and the 2nd one down on the left side above caps lock

and remove the one above H/J

[tidal frigate]

You when i return package to sender

[prime orbit]

Oh wait I’m dumb I do have 2 more

Do I need them in?

[harsh dove]

Nah they usually give you extras

[prime orbit]

Kk

[lapis raven]

i dont thjink you can do that with just that info

[prime orbit]

Coming from someone’s who’s it happened to

Def can with that info

💀

Looking clean

[hot acorn]

Can we mod these things to allow for actual usable home row hold-taps?

I’m willing to bypass the GUI configurator if necessary

[narrow finch]

yo i was wondering do they sell aftermarket plates

i was thinking i wanted something a little more stiff than the pc plate that came with my he+ module

[thorn zealot]

there are

[prime orbit]

W

[narrow finch]

i went full pink on mine lol

[prime orbit]

looks fire!

what rgb do u do?

[narrow finch]

just a low saturation pink

i usually have it off because of tachyon mode tho

[prime orbit]

Rip the old board

The dog hair will not be missed 💀

[prime orbit]

It supports it?

[silver nest]

i come from cigs so idc lol

[tranquil granite]

yo idk if this is right place to ask but if i ordered Optimum keyboard does it come together or i have to put it together?

[silver nest]

you have to build it

[prime orbit]

what mousepad?

[silver nest]

i use a pulsar superglide xl and the deskpad is an old razer strider from 2022

[tranquil granite]

do i need any tools? ive never modded before

[prime orbit]

superglide interesting

why not 004?

[silver nest]

a screwdriver

[tranquil granite]

bet thanks

[silver nest]

i got it right before the 004 was available

superglide v1

[prime orbit]

ah ok

[agile grove]

[fluid ravine]

HERE IT ISSS

Alrighty chat

Do we lube the duhukies?

[cyan lark]

What else were you put on this Earth for?

Slick those puppers up

[untold wigeon]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0NROPN has anyon tried this case ?

[fluid ravine]

My fault
This is my destiny

Damnit, I don't got a spare board

[harsh dove]

Be very very light with the lube

[calm pulsar]

what are those

[fluid ravine]

Spread the stock lube?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[fluid ravine]

22mm 62g

[calm pulsar]

ah I know the box I think

from aliexpress

yeah

[fluid ravine]

Yeah

[calm pulsar]

long spring and still 60+g

[fluid ravine]

With exaggeration

[calm pulsar]

strength maxxing

[fluid ravine]

I added like 30 drips of pio

Oil

[calm pulsar]

you could dip them into the oil bottle at this point

[fluid ravine]

[cyan lark]

That's a fair number of drips, but at least they'll definitely be oily boys

Godspeed, soldier

[little glen]

What oil do you use for bag lubing springs

[tropic urchin]

creamy taps

[tawdry tree]

Woot in the Tofu60 2.0 🔥🔥
https://x.com/freewheeler_/status/1897110885149344023

[kind helm]

Highly doubt it works well

despite Tofu 2.0 does have a space in the bottom case for left usb-c port

the space there is not big enough i think. before i removed my left usb-c port on my venom, the port sometimes scrath against the bottom case when the pcb is shifted in a certain way. PCB moves a tiny bit because bowl mount doesn't really tie the plate down to anything.

[tawdry tree]

🤔🤔

[kind helm]

there is scratch mark on my bottom case already from the left usb-c port rubbing against it

[tawdry tree]

does venom’s usb port stick out more than woot’s?

[kind helm]

and it is hella annoying when you play games that need to hold down a key.

[kind helm]

idk

its scratching the side

[tawdry tree]

I wouldn’t think so but it’d be odd to go with a design like this and it doesn’t work

[tawdry tree]

😬

[kind helm]

fck i really dont wanna open up my tofu and show you. bowl mount is a bitch to reinstall

[tawdry tree]

np haha

[little glen]

Bowl mount? Is bro making ramen in his keyboard

[kind helm]

it may work better with gasket or top mount though

[tawdry tree]

should be fine..

[kind helm]

its basically rubbing against this side for me

[tawdry tree]

oh, so KBD just sucks

[kind helm]

likely

[tawdry tree]

[calm pulsar]

cool, now let them make a conversion to tsangan layout

[tawdry tree]

the great strength of HE is simultaneous multi-layout support but I doubt we’ll ever see it from Woot.

Stuck with a 150+ year old layout..

[kind helm]

imagine sticking with wooting

[tidal frigate]

Why 150+

[tidal frigate]

Shut up geon he sinner

[tawdry tree]

Isn’t it?

Is it older?!

Or newer?!

[ionic breach]

no 7u

no split anything

cos sensors

man i wish wooting will just do 7u

and force gamers to use it lmao

[tidal frigate]

Well you can drill into pcb and try make 7u your self

[calm pulsar]

venom tkl is able to do both

[ionic breach]

yea how does it work?

just extra sensors?

[tidal frigate]

Because in tkl 7u looks good

[calm pulsar]

just swap in software I guess
cause on venom 7u you can do split backspace or not, and I can just select it in the software

so it disables the middle sensor for backspace I would assume

[tawdry tree]

1878, arguable if it counts or not.

[ionic breach]

nah

qwerty is mordern

[tidal frigate]

Thats just qwerty typing machine

[calm pulsar]

gamers in 1878 didnt even have ctrl, alt, shift

smh

[tawdry tree]

Still. Something like 64% breaks that kinda as it wouldn’t be possible on a typewriter.

[tidal frigate]

Thats shift

[harsh dove]

Need that Dvorak layout

[ionic breach]

damn the 1000 key

[calm pulsar]

the 💯 key

[kind helm]

how does shift work in a typing machine 0.0

[tidal frigate]

Capslock in modern keyboard

[calm pulsar]

shifts the keys probably, just a wild guess

[tropic urchin]

That’s that post prohibition keyboard layout, suits you

[harsh dove]

You calling me drunk n homeless

[tropic urchin]

I’m not saying you are, but that’s the word on the street

[harsh dove]

Yeah a little birdie told me

Said I was 40 yrs old too

[thorn zealot]

drunc

[cyan lark]

The hammer for each key had an embossed legend on the top and bottom. Shift would cause the top half to strike instead of the bottom.

[harsh dove]

Yeah basically works the same way

[kind helm]

beautiful, thanks

[cyan lark]

Someone needs to update Mikey on the new language rules

[harsh dove]

Deep and Liquid Taps out of box

[cyan lark]

Can we replace liquid with wet as a personal favor

Nvm I did the replacement in my head

[harsh dove]

I don't like the sound of Deep and Wet Taps

[thorn zealot]

I like edge taps

[harsh dove]

funnier than it should be

I’m not laughing

[kind helm]

speedX always do their delivery at crazy hours

[tawdry tree]

What the fuck is 18:36 PM? It’s either 18:36 or 6:36PM

😭

[chilly mural]

I think the first 24 hour is AM while the other 24 hour is PM

[tawdry tree]

right..

😂😂

[kind helm]

wait...

BRAIN! WORK! AHHHH!

[harsh dove]

One day is 48 hours

[chilly mural]

Why do you think you have to wait for 24 more hour

[kind helm]

ah right right right

[tawdry tree]

yeah, I completely forgot that.

[kind helm]

no last time they delivered my stab at 5am

this company is a bit nutty

[tawdry tree]

?!?!?!

surely he means 5pm

[harsh dove]

nah 0500

[kind helm]

nope 5am, i was up all night working

[tawdry tree]

what the fuck

that’s just night

[kind helm]

then i got a call 5:30 or something the driver telling me he delivered the stuff

[tawdry tree]

😂😂

[calm pulsar]

bro living in the year 4050

[fluid ravine]

Lubed 28 duhukies so far

9 opened on my table rn

[dusk isle]

ima just lube without taking it apart, i dont have the patience capacity

[tawdry tree]

I wouldn’t for Duhuks. Just keep them stock.

[fluid ravine]

15 left

Separating the springs is so time consuming rn

[fluid ravine]

Right abt this

Using my Geon brush only

The dab of lube on each parts of the switch is literally enough to coat the whole thing

[sacred elm]

no I didnt

[calm pulsar]

how do they taste when lubed

[fallen pecan]

new rakka https://streamable.com/ucwe67

[kind helm]

i remember its not too expensive either

200 something?

grey jade pro, vid says possibly new mold

[fallen pecan]

1499 rmb

[kind helm]

L mount

[fallen pecan]

only con is rakka is known for their nonexistant support even in their QQ group

[calm pulsar]

such an elegant layout, TKL

[kind helm]

wait for geon to do a new venom tkl

xD

[calm pulsar]

I mean why not just grab existing venom tkl

it's pretty new

[kind helm]

true, i still remember that tiger lite deal

[calm pulsar]

and is being updated like all venoms iirc

[kind helm]

50 something with a case

sheesh

[tawdry tree]

I rather have an LED bar than a lit up logo. 🥴

[kind helm]

both fugly

[tawdry tree]

Doesn’t look like a new mold.

[fluid ravine]

IM FINISH

[kind helm]

[fluid ravine]

so much noticeably heavier

[tawdry tree]

Yeah but can’t have none, obviously. Need some form of RGB!

[fluid ravine]

gonn have to break in the duhuks now

but holeh these springs are niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

snnappyyyy

[kind helm]

13 yo taste

[kind helm]

the ali spring?

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[kind helm]

interesting

[fluid ravine]

mhm

bag lubed them

so i dont gotta worry much about the spring ping shit

but

damn 22mm 62g feels a bit heavier than 15mm 60g

it's hella noticeable for me

[kind helm]

i am patiently waiting on geon pingless 20mm, i am not going back to +- 5 bs

[fluid ravine]

ok maybe worry a lil

i can kinda hear it

[kind helm]

i think the force required at the top is higher compare to shorter spring

[fluid ravine]

yeah

ok they are definetely aliexpress quality

[kind helm]

join me, geon pingless on divinikey, 5 dolla for 110 and 5 dolla for shipping

[fluid ravine]

but 20mm :(

[harsh dove]

I actually just ordered some of those to try out

[kind helm]

true :3 does feel a bit sluggish compare to jade pro

[sacred elm]

CAM The Switch Maxxer

[kind helm]

curious what you would think

[fluid ravine]

ok this is so depressing LOL

[kind helm]

the consistent feel is really good for me personally

[fluid ravine]

these springs chatter

:(

on the top out

[harsh dove]

As long as they not crunchy or pingy, I'll like them

[sacred elm]

ali spring moment

[fluid ravine]

it's so noticeable with the top out of the switch being quiet

[kind helm]

bro coped for like 10min

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

[fluid ravine]

chill

they feel nice

[sacred elm]

[kind helm]

[fluid ravine]

hence snappy

[fluid ravine]

lemme cope

[harsh dove]

Snappy Taps

[fluid ravine]

snappy tappy wappy

flappy

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

$11.5 for some fuggin springs

well this is what i get for getting $1 springs

[sacred elm]

shouldve ordered it instead of ali springs smh

[kind helm]

you can try to spend 100 to get free shipping

[fluid ravine]

it was only $1 😭

[kind helm]

i believe that is what mr cam does hehe

[sacred elm]

$ ?

[fluid ravine]

i am NOT bro

[kind helm]

• 1 hour of your life and cost of lube

but we dont talk about that

[fluid ravine]

well atleast the duhukies are lubed

[sacred elm]

afaik you dont even need to lube pingless springs

[kind helm]

probably should, i never tried unlubed pingless though

from what i heard there is still some amount of ping

[fluid ravine]

honestly for the people that got pingless geon springs

they lube them anyways 😂

i dont think any of them tested it stock

lul

[harsh dove]

Yeah Ima lube mine, however he does list in the description that they are pingless with or without lube

[kind helm]

I got them mainly for the very good variance, pingless thing is sus

[fluid ravine]

black jade springs 🙏

🙏

[harsh dove]

Nah F those springs

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

damnittttttttttttt

am BEGGING for some long springs without having to buy new switches 😭

[kind helm]

time to bother geon dc mods and ask them when they gonna make 20mm spring

[sacred elm]

buy jade pros and swap springs

[kind helm]

[sacred elm]

[kind helm]

I can send you my jade pro at a cheap price if my duhuk is good

maybe like 20 dolla for 60 + you pay for the shipping

[fluid ravine]

see... i just need the springs... i dont even want the switch

[kind helm]

too bad i dont want to have a bunch of dead switches, if i ever feel like replacing jade pro spring i let you know. I just feel jade pro a bit boring so not worth my time

just a decent close bottom switch

[ionic breach]

holy im not us and im so done with the orange man

what is he doing with my keyborb prices

[fluid ravine]

geon pingless in duhuks, duhuks in jade pro, i buy jade pro springs

[ionic breach]

and my us stocks

[fluid ravine]

@kind helm IF by chance, if you were to sell me the springs only, you thin you can "cheat" the system by puting it in a envolope and just mail out to save money

[kind helm]

[fluid ravine]

or is that not possible and im just being a dumbass

[fluid ravine]

[ionic breach]

you can iirc

[kind helm]

i have no clue actually. i was just thinking dropping by at ups near my supermarket if you want them :3

[fluid ravine]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

ya boi just want the boing boings

[ionic breach]

well ima going to cope

if this makes us less of a superpower so that their politics affect the world less in the future

so be it lmao

[ashen basin]

ttc poms changed my life

[sacred elm]

Indeed! Because TTC POMs bring you closer to god

[nimble dragon]

Where yall buying keycaps from 🥲

[fluid ravine]

I buy my GMK from Omnitypes

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

Here's this as well for vendors in your region

[dreamy dock]

I moded my wooting but when I press the M key its outputs MMM and other key letters. What could that be?

[glacial wind]

Did you do any foam/film mods on the switches?

[dreamy dock]

Actually when I press the M key it stays down

nah no mods on switches. Just lube

[quasi hinge]

Maybe too much lube?

[quasi hinge]

If you have a spare switch, try swapping it

[dreamy dock]

cool thank you for the idea

But is it normal if you press on the key hard, another key gets triggered?

[quasi hinge]

Only if you set it up that way in wootility using DKS

As far as I know

[dusk isle]

Whats a good place to buy custom keycaps like this for jade pro switches

[quasi hinge]

Here

[quasi hinge]

and Etsy?

[calm pulsar]

duhuks arrived

[sacred elm]

duhfuk

[calm pulsar]

nvm it was my MX silent tactiles, not thefuks yet

[jaunty grove]

Hi, wanted to know if you guys also help when it comes to pc builds, since you guys know tech

Oh ok

[little turret]

how have those keycaps held up for you? like them so far?

[dapper pond]

Does anyone know if the everglide stick rice v2 switches work with the 60he?

[noble mason]

they do but most people here would reccomend other switches

i have them though, they arent bad but i think their prelube process is a bit inconsistent so hand lubing will probably be a must

they sound good after hand lubing though so i would recommend although i havent tried more popular options

[glacial wind]

It’s funny how tiny a container you can fit 20 switches into

I got around to opening the mathew switches I’ve had sitting around, didn’t realize all 20 fit into such a tiny little box

[alpine lynx]

what size standoffs do i need for a custom plate?

the ones that came w mine dont fit the wooting

[vast hamlet]

for a tape mod I want to use a weak masking tape, right? and the layers depend on my preference?

[tawdry tree]

That’s right. Painters tape is recommended.

[tawdry tree]

How you mean?

[vast hamlet]

mhm okay thank you, and I put the tape on the bottom of the pcb right

[tawdry tree]

Yeah and depending on how many layers you use, you might have to cut holes for the screws to go through.

[vast hamlet]

ooh good point, thanks a lot!

[tawdry tree]

switches are tiny!

[cyan lark]

Widdle baby tappers

[glossy pagoda]

Another 3rd party 80HE case out there, Taka80
Which one of you internet sleuths can find me a link for it?

[arctic quail]

Anyone know good replacement stabs for the Two HE

[fallen pecan]

no news on the 80 GB, they closed the 60 tho

[sacred elm]

we got tak case before gta 6

[sweet oak]

If tak case, why no frog on it

[glacial wind]

[glossy pagoda]

My man

Cheers

[sacred elm]

well it looks fine but ofc there should be their stupid logo near the led bar

[sweet oak]

Hope they make one in pine green without logo

[chilly mural]

The black one lopls nice

[tropic urchin]

Logo grill clears

[quasi hinge]

The space is begging to be used

I even put something there on my keeb 🛸

[chilly mural]

Second led bar!!!!!

[quasi hinge]

How would it be connected

[chilly mural]

Led on plate

If we're going custom case might as well go for plate too

[stone flax]

Mreow

[quasi hinge]

But like how would it interface with the pcb?

[quasi hinge]

Squeak

[chilly mural]

Idk

[stone flax]

nom nom

i eat you

[little glen]

My duhuks shipped

[round sparrow]

there's also the holy 80 in the works, some folks here have seen the early designs for it

[little glen]

Now we wait

[alpine lynx]

standoffs are so big bro

[tawdry tree]

They look fine?

If their length is 3.5mm, you should be good.

They don’t seem to be that big to cause issues.

[alpine lynx]

i tried pushing it in w all my force tho, will try again ltr

[tawdry tree]

Push what in?

😬

[stone flax]

Why my duhuks shipping 8 days from now

💔

[alpine lynx]

i mean like

putting the pcb and the plate together

idk how to word it right

[stone flax]

I love wooting80he

sum light build

[sweet oak]

light on the wallet

[quasi hinge]

All that cost and they didnt even change the color of the case…

They could have done a cerakote to match the keycaps in some way

[tranquil sandal]

60he+ better

[solar tundra]

wth

[crimson sky]

I got ya dw

[stone flax]

Why buy that when you can buy 80he with metal keycaps and weeb artisans

Wth is a tgr

never heard of it

[crimson sky]

why would I want metal keycaps

[stone flax]

Because higher price tag better

and i dont want quality

i want an ego over spending $1000 on possibly one of the worst ways possible

wheres yo tokyo ghoul artisan escape

[crimson sky]

man they are so ill fitting 💀

you can let someone move into these gaps

[peak breach]

crusty ass keycaps

[tidal frigate]

Why not make full titanium set

Propably 10000 usd for it

[honest sparrow]

hello guys, im having responsive problems with my ESC key when im on tachyon mode/rapid

i see backspace tooo

they dont work at all

when i go back to typing mode they work, anyone else with same problem?

[peak breach]

Do you have the stock cable?

[honest sparrow]

I have the stock cable and a wooting premium cable

It does register on wootility when pressed but not on windows:

+++++++++++++

[little glen]

All that cost and not even a custom/third party case or any mods

All the cost is just the keycaps

[quasi hinge]

and no ttc poms

[little glen]

Actual clickbait luxury

[calm pulsar]

creamy thocky

[lapis raven]

my wooting ttc poms

arrived

they look tasty i want to eat them

[fallen pecan]

not poms

those are rgbs

[tawdry tree]

A few more days of agony to endure but you know salvation will come. That’ll get you through. 🙂

[tawdry tree]

That should not require any pressure at all man. Align, the screw in is all you should have to do.

[quasi hinge]

I wonder if that was intentional

or he just realized the mistake

[fallen pecan]

🤷

[calm pulsar]

I mean it has the same molds

I wish I got rgbs tbh, not to deal with diffusers

[quasi hinge]

pom hits different

[lapis raven]

basically the same thing i didn’t actually know they had different names

i didn’t pay much attention when ordering

[tawdry tree]

Windows is fully spazzing out?

Restart PC 😃👍

[honest sparrow]

I did, still same

[tawdry tree]

😬😬😬

[honest sparrow]

When I go back to normal mode it does register

[tawdry tree]

Hmm

Does changing the sensitivity help?

RT sensitivity

[honest sparrow]

And you can see on wootility key press is detected

But it doesnt register on win

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, that’s why I thought it’d be windows.

[honest sparrow]

Perhaps bug?

[tawdry tree]

or do you have something like a macro bound to it?

[honest sparrow]

Nope, nothing

[tawdry tree]

Rather odd, try changing around the RT settings. See if that’s it.

[lapis raven]

me when windows breaks because you looked at it wrong

[cyan lark]

Might be a bug, but maybe a good idea to create a new vanilla profile first

[honest sparrow]

The only thing I dont like is the usb connector on the case is a bit towards one side

[cyan lark]

sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root

[honest sparrow]

I will open and try to sit it centered…

If its not that still have to do it for peace of mind

[lapis raven]

me when the linux go bye bye from one command

[tawdry tree]

Huh? It’s on your 80HE no?

[honest sparrow]

Yep

[tawdry tree]

Ah

I doubt it has anything to do with that tbh

[honest sparrow]

I did not see it while assembling it, but checked just in case

And I didnt notice cause my gf stole it for work this last two days xD

If I had to bet on something I would say its a bug, since it is registering on wootility, that tells me switches are fine and cable should be too cause they are getting enough power

[tawdry tree]

Latest firmware?

[cyan lark]

Have you tried a different keyboard?

[little glen]

Can you send a screenshot of your wootility

I have seen more than one case where someone imported old profiles and it unbound half their keys

[tawdry tree]

You can see it in his vid

It spams backspace then it stops working

[honest sparrow]

Yeps

[honest sparrow]

I did imported one profile

From the 60he, i thought about that too. So im deleting it and starting fresh

Rgb is going to be a bummer xD

[little glen]

No need to delete whole profile

If a different profile doesnt work either you can rule that out as the problem

[honest sparrow]

Anyways im a simple guy, i dont have anything special, just sentivity to 0.1 and did it mostly for the rgb setting

[honest sparrow]

I was using the 60he+ you see on the back a moment before with 0 issues

I changed it to test differences and notice esc was not working and then backspace

[cyan lark]

Then I would use a new profile and see if it works.

Then work your way back to your desired config one change at a time, testing along the way.

(assuming it works w/out issue on a new profile)

[honest sparrow]

Yep. I will start by sitting the usb port properly

And then delete old profile

And start fresh

If it is registering on wootility that rules out cable problem and switches? Right?

[lapis raven]

they sound pretty nice too

very very distinctive

i kinda really like it

[cyan lark]

Doesn't rule out anything with the switches, and doesn't necessarily rule out cable issues

[little glen]

Just picked up my gmk cosmos artisans at the post office

[cyan lark]

Mine are

[lapis raven]

https://cannonkeys.com/products/gmk-cosmos these ?

[little glen]

I am kinda upset at my post office situation tbh

[cyan lark]

I am leaving the country by

T_T

[honest sparrow]

The cable is one of the wooting premium coiled, i’ve been using it since christmas with no issues

[cyan lark]

What happened?

[little glen]

There is a different office closer to me but i think i am basically at the edge of my post office area

So i need to walk 25 minutes to get to mine

[lapis raven]

edge spotted

[little glen]

When i could walk 5 to the other

[little glen]

I have the keycap set already, these are artisans

I will post pictures when i get home

Also got my maxgaming order in

[tawdry tree]

I’d change the RT sens first, if that doesn’t help then make a bug report

then you can try whatever else

[cyan lark]

That is annoying. I have my own USPS SNAFUs for similar reasons (sitting on the edge of a zip)

[tawdry tree]

this shouldn’t
happen on the stable firmware ofc

[little glen]

Also had to pay like 9 euro to get it handed to me, 3 euro import and 6 euro handling fees

[cyan lark]

If someone sends mail to me at the zip listed on my property's address the USPS will return it to sender without fail.

[lapis raven]

oh i didnt see the word artisans lol my bad im still waking up

[little glen]

If you want to see the cosmos in action check this thread https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1342211699234832485

[cyan lark]

I can't help it but when I see them in pictures they just look like dusty BoBs

[little glen]

Yeah true

[cyan lark]

(also "Dusty Bob" is my new hacker alias)

[little glen]

They do look good in person

Especially when you move em around

[cyan lark]

Great to hear 🙂

[little glen]

But yeah in shoddily taken pictures and in poor light conditions they do look like dusty bob

[cyan lark]

I don't think I've seen anyone take pics that match the initial pics under studio lighting, or come close

[little glen]

Silver lining about this: my walk there and back is through a nice park

Closest to touching grass i have been in months

(Still not touching it tho)

[cyan lark]

Grass > Keebs

Enjoy the walk

[little glen]

You say this as i have artisans in my bag and a maxgaming package under my arm

[cyan lark]

Do you by any chance own a backpack?

[little glen]

Yes

But i also went grocery shopping along the way

So box does not fit

[little glen]

My shoes have been forced to touch grass

I took a narrow path and was on direct collision course with a stroller

Had to evade for my own safety

[cyan lark]

This is what I imagine my indoor cat thinks when I put her in the yard every couple years

[little glen]

Haha

Show cat now!

[little glen]

Good kitty

I made a sticker with a picture of mine

[cyan lark]

She's probably older than some of the people in this Discord (just turned 18!)

[polar girder]

Just realized TTC POM my 6th HE switch lol

☠️

[little glen]

Whoa

[calm pulsar]

adult now!

[little glen]

Old lady

My cat is like 14 now

[chilly mural]

Touch more grass

[little glen]

No

[calm pulsar]

My cat is also like 13-14

[polar girder]

Man my cat only like 3 and I’m already fearing the end

[chilly mural]

Yes. Summer is soon

[calm pulsar]

cat maxxing

[chilly mural]

Aclimate with the heat

[little glen]

Allergy season soon

[cyan lark]

Gotta enjoy them and try not to think of those things too much.

[little glen]

I can tell my cat is getting older cause she gets into fights and gets hurt now

[cyan lark]

Firmly in retirement, gets whatever she wants and lives in the lap of cat luxury.

[calm pulsar]

as it should be 😌

[little glen]

We had to change vets recently cause she got really hurt and the old vet didnt rlly pay attention

If we had left it like that she probably wouldnt have made it

[cyan lark]

Inattentive vets are 👎

Glad you could change and thought to

Alright one more since you guys keep asking for it

[calm pulsar]

gaming

[little glen]

Cat looks flabbergasted at the concept of a handheld pc

[cyan lark]

I think she's just impressed with how great Proton is!

[calm pulsar]

when I left my room once my cat was typing on the spacebar in secret

[cyan lark]

Sounds like they were running a numbers station 🕵️

[little glen]

Impressed by your expertly stab tuning i assume

[calm pulsar]

yeah she was making sure it doesnt rattle or tick

[agile wolf]

Yeah proton is awesome

Love my deck

[honest sparrow]

ok, its worse now

not it gets "stucked" and keeps deliting

deleting*

[honest sparrow]

i just found out the RGB settings on tachyon mode was at 100%

could be that, but still the cable is good

[little glen]

Which one should go on esc and which one should go on mode key

[lapis raven]

lubing switches again has me FUCKED up

[chilly mural]

One with asteroid ring

[little glen]

Terrible picture god damn

I‘ll take a better one tomorrow when i have more light

[cyan lark]

You made the right choice on the placements

[calm pulsar]

I would put em there too

[kind helm]

its time

[calm pulsar]

pom better

[tropic urchin]

Fugly boxstem vs fugly normal switch

https://tenor.com/view/wayne-rooney-mortal-kombat-finish-him-rooney-scorpion-gif-16327763

[chilly mural]

Looks naisu

I feel like the spacebar could benefit with having an artistic representation of somebody landing on a moon.

something like this, but without the detail and shadow

[kind helm]

are he switches heavier than mx switches? is math related to science?

[paper bloom]

Is grams related to a kilogram?!

No but biology is related to creamy

Sorry wet taps

[kind helm]

i cant spend a day in this chat without someone reminding me a dude came on his board

comon man

duhuk looking good btw, i finished a row, 4 more to go

[calm pulsar]

well this is as exciting as it gets for keyboard nerds

[chilly mural]

I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT IT< FAK

[fluid ravine]

Ay don't add krytox and shi

Or like don't add more lube

[cyan lark]

Honestly I forgot about it as well, so who's the real villain here?

[kind helm]

i am only swapping the spring and lubing the spring

[fluid ravine]

Good

Well you should spread the lube on the stem

I would do that at most

It gives a nice shine coating so it's a good sign that they put a good amount of lube

[stone flax]

Creamy

[kind helm]

oh fck now i think about turingtest's cursed recording when i see that shit

[stone flax]

Duhuks bettah

[fluid ravine]

[calm pulsar]

genty silent better

[clear talon]

Wooting 2 just got delivered, can't wait to mod it when I get home after work 😈

[fluid ravine]

Lekker v1 better

[stone flax]

What u gonna do to it

[clear talon]

Swapping in Geon Raws
Tape mod
Custom caps

I'll post pictures in #1070668460905988106 later

[kind helm]

duhuk with 50g geon spring

[stone flax]

lets go bro

[stone flax]

lets go bro

[chilly mural]

Sounds like a clock

[lapis raven]

the ttc's sound so nice

wtf

[kind helm]

have you tried pp plate + froggy + duhuk?

[fluid ravine]

Damn should I spring swap again

Just use my raws?

I don't wanna spend another $11 bucks just for the "same" springs

And wait for it

[kind helm]

i dont think raws spring is the same as pingless

but i threw away raw spring already

i want to try pp plate with duhuk, to soften the sound a bit, but my worry is that with pp the board may become too muted.

[stone flax]

How ass are duhuk springs

[fluid ravine]

Asssss

[calm pulsar]

btw how were the AE springs?

[kind helm]

ass

but snappy

but ass

[calm pulsar]

ass express

[stone flax]

💔

Whats wrong with them

[harsh dove]

IMO they’re fine, just too light

Idk why Tuan hates them so much

They have good variance compared to other springs/switches

[stone flax]

Variance, spring ping, crunch?

idk

like what exactly is wrong with them

just the weight?

[little glen]

Should i lube the duhuks and the pingless springs or should it be fine if i just spring swap

[fluid ravine]

Yes

And yeah idk the weight is kinda weird to me tbh

[harsh dove]

To me they are just light and they were pingy from factory/stock , I did lube them but I ended up spring swapping so I didn’t end up trying them lubed

[calm pulsar]

pom spring best

[stone flax]

surely oiling springs is good

[calm pulsar]

but wont work in duhuks

[harsh dove]

I’d think so

[stone flax]

Geon extended he springs is best

soon ™️

[harsh dove]

Ikr sad

[calm pulsar]

you had me in the first half

would love those

[kind helm]

i am waiting, i am patient, i am contented, surely i am.

[stone flax]

[stone flax]

also iirc the flux on the product pages for duhuk were wrong right?

specified 50 on top when it was 20?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[stone flax]

@sacred elm

[stone flax]

What about bottom

?

[harsh dove]

Same

Just the top was wrong

This was their message they sent to me

[stone flax]

Still 50

Hmms

[harsh dove]

At bottom yeah

[stone flax]

ya so that top flux aint bad at all

[harsh dove]

Nah it’s actually good yeah

[stone flax]

so shafie was smoking 💔

no

[calm pulsar]

so is this the good version for benom and booting

I got these

[harsh dove]

If you look at the switch list in #🪛│modding_faq , you can see most switches had 15+- at top and 80+- at bottom

So 20-50 is not bad at all

Also these values are kinda just listed for quality control, I wouldn’t get too nitpicky about them

[stone flax]

im more concerned about their stem design causing that tiny rebound on top out during harsh or quick presses

[polar girder]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[stone flax]

but i wonder how much distance that actually covers

[polar girder]

TTC POM not listed

[harsh dove]

I know lol

It hasn’t been updated in awhile

I have access to the spreadsheet from Tirade tho

[lapis raven]

MY KEYBOARD SOUNDS BETTER THAN YOUR KEYBOARD

[stone flax]

doubt 💔

its all preference

[harsh dove]

Interesting theory

[lapis raven]

yeah ik it was a joke on the keyboard preference thing as a whole

[calm pulsar]

I prefer good sounding keyboard

[kind helm]

hmmm, have you had misclick

i have had some misclick with timing pretty similar to what you described

i am using 0.1mm on all keys rn though, which is pretty low.

[harsh dove]

On Duhuks?

Or just in general

[kind helm]

duhuk specifically

[harsh dove]

I didn’t know you got them

Or maybe I forgot idk

[kind helm]

typing on them rn, hehe got it this morning

nah you just missed it, i lubed and installed them just 1 hour ago

[harsh dove]

I haven’t noticed any misclicks but I also don’t use 0.1 RT

[harsh dove]

Ah okay

I use like 0.4

[kind helm]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message on my tofu 2.0 if you wanna hear it

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah sounds good

Did they feel weird to type on at first to you?

[polar girder]

Yeah same that’s why I didn’t bother ordering them

Lolz

[kind helm]

not really actually. they are really smooth though

[primal pawn]

Hey I was in the process to buy a 60he module and I’m at the switch option now! I want to know what is your favorite and why! Thanks a lot 🙂🤝🏼

[half hill]

Did you come live today? @harsh dove 😋

[kind helm]

i think a combo of its tightness + 3.3 travel

[harsh dove]

I also don’t think it have enough force to rebound tbh, with the tension of the spring pushing it back

It’s not like there’s a spring at the top pushing it down

It’s only pushing it up

[polar girder]

TTC POM just stay winning

TTC POM would never

[harsh dove]

Nah, yesterday

[harsh dove]

Yeah they are smooth

[night atlas]

TTC POMs and Geon Raw HE's are generally popular

tho POMs are pricier

[kind helm]

i just increased the values to 0.16 and everythings good now

[night atlas]

raws are more budget friendlyt

[kind helm]

think there maybe a issue, but not sure the exact cause yet.

[calm pulsar]

I will try out Duhuks but I might just keep my HE build with POMs for competitive games

and then mess with MX for the most enjoyable feel and sound

[harsh dove]

If you’re buying from Wooting, I like the POMs for their stability and smooth clean sound and feel when typing

[cyan lark]

The POMs rise to the top

[harsh dove]

You have to lube them tho

TTC POMs
Pros: Stability, Clean Sound/Feel
Cons: Price / Have to Lube which cost more money if you don’t have lube

[half hill]

I’m not sure how do I explain this but raws kind of sound sharp then the sound just gets cut off, it’s kind of hard to explain, atleast that’s what’s I remember after seeing the comparisons on wootings yt page

[kind helm]

actually i dont think the leg would be the cause, because double click happens mostly on my spacebar, which is like the heaviest compare to everything else. I think more likely the cause is just the lube

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s why I don’t think it would rebound

Not enough force

[stone flax]

It had done so

[kind helm]

how much is that though?

[stone flax]

im unsure whether this distance makes a difference enough for reactuation but it does

[stone flax]

Exactly

no metric

[harsh dove]

What is that tested on?

[kind helm]

probably a different pcb

[calm pulsar]

I think adding extra 0.05mm in venom configuration would help if that affects you
