But like black I searched and someone said that they are a lil navy

[tawdry tree]

ah, then go with those.

it’s just WoB

https://a.aliexpress.com/_Eu4u44U

[stone flax]

Ya

[tawdry tree]

they have GARY too

[rare kraken]

That color looks sick

What are those

[tawdry tree]

the ones I linked

[rare kraken]

The picture

[tawdry tree]

yea

[rare kraken]

Ye

[tawdry tree]

select “GARY”

[sacred elm]

is quality the same ?😳

[tawdry tree]

doubt the same as there’s a price difference of only $110 but the reviews seem to be good.

[rare kraken]

Wait does ali have good metal keyboard cases for wooting 60he

[tawdry tree]

Aifei X-Ray clone: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EuZhR3A

[tawdry tree]

Eh, no.

You can get a Tofu from ali but it’s kinda more expensive

I’d look for a second hand one if you’re on budget

[rare kraken]

But will it fit the wooting ngl it don’t have to on ali just want a good looking case like the one optuimum has

[little glen]

Depends what you define as good looking and what you are willing to spend

[rare kraken]

Like 100 prob for a case

[tawdry tree]

You can get an RNG Salvation as well from NovelKeys

[rare kraken]

I’ve seen most at 120

[little glen]

100?

Get the rng salvation

[tawdry tree]

[rare kraken]

What if I get a ugly color

[little glen]

Unlucky

I got blue

[stone flax]

Get a korn

[little glen]

Someone else here got purple

[rare kraken]

I want a like white case but like a darker white something that matches the keycaps aligner sent

[tawdry tree]

If you find none ugly, that won’t happen!

[little glen]

So… gray?

[rare kraken]

Ye pretty much lol

[tawdry tree]

Gary you mean I think

[ionic breach]

is leggera not out internationally?

[tawdry tree]

no

[little glen]

https://geon.works/products/in-stock-frog-mini-leggera check this out

Should be out soon ish

[stone flax]

Leggera guyd

[rare kraken]

I kinda feel like the cream would match the keycaps

[little glen]

I kinda wanna get the green one and some green keycaps

[rare kraken]

Alr bro

lol

[tawdry tree]

green x-ray

[rare kraken]

I’m too impatient to wait

[tawdry tree]

cream with gray is hit or miss bro

[little glen]

Thought maybe gmk botanical since its on sale at oblotzky rn

[tawdry tree]

weren’t there issues with it?

[little glen]

If i have twisted stem i‘ll get it replaced

[tawdry tree]

true

[little glen]

There‘s a bunch of stuff on sale tho maybe i‘ll get something else

I just like the look of it and i want to try something bright and with color

[untold wigeon]

any high quality plastic case thats like under 40 dollars

colored

[little glen]

60he?

[untold wigeon]

yeaa

[rare kraken]

This with the keycaps?

[little glen]

You‘ll just need to wait for it to come on sale

[rare kraken]

Ye

But I’m way too impatient tho

Prob going sell out by the time I remember ngl

[little glen]

Honestly spend 30 bucks more and buy a frog mini leggera when it‘s up for sale

[kind helm]

certain young man in the chat became bald while waiting

[little glen]

[little glen]

I didnt know ludwig is in this chat

[untold wigeon]

what does it go on sale for

ngl at that price point id rather get the tofu60 redux

[little glen]

70 dollar

[untold wigeon]

thats why i was trying to get something plastic and cheaper

[little glen]

Super good price for what it is

[ionic breach]

redux cost more

[kind helm]

also leggera uses db

[ionic breach]

not that one

tray mount one is for wooting

[little glen]

And less ugly than tofu

Best part of leggera

Its not ugly af

[kind helm]

ahh... trash mount for .... pcb

[stone flax]

LOL

[untold wigeon]

its all sold out atm but shipping is 10 dollars

[stone flax]

funniest sentence ive ever heard

[ionic breach]

they hate us fr

[untold wigeon]

i thought the tofu60 was supposed to be one of the best cases

[stone flax]

Wooting isnt compatible with gummy o-ring

[stone flax]

not really no

[ionic breach]

yea that what i said lmao

[kind helm]

the hole needs to be fat and fugly to let wooting's L usb-c port move with the gummy oring bounce

L is left btw

[rare kraken]

That don’t look that bad and it’s 64

[kind helm]

hehe surly

[stone flax]

mid traymount especially without weight

only reason is popular is because its popular + color options

[little glen]

It‘s popular because it‘s fairly inexpensive and available (at least used to be)

Not because it‘s good

[stone flax]

The $300 special redux’s

[ionic breach]

quote of the year

[untold wigeon]

well yea i meant at that price point

[stone flax]

not at all?

Functionally the same as a $9 traymount case?

[rare kraken]

Wait I have to get the compatible plate for wooting bc that’s what it’s saying

[grave tulip]

got my duhuks

[ionic breach]

no u dont

[kind helm]

what am i reading, i need more coffee

[stone flax]

Just get leggera, also no you dont have to

[untold wigeon]

ok then whats good and cheap

aftermarket case

[stone flax]

Leggera

[ionic breach]

when is it out anyways?

been a long time alr

[rare kraken]

Alr I’ll wait ig do yk when it might come out

[kind helm]

btw comparing between tray mount and top mount, whats the difference?

[stone flax]

in a month or so

Reason it got held back was production delays bc of the acrylic case

[rare kraken]

I can’t wait that long ngl

[untold wigeon]

ill check it out when its back in stock

everyth is out of stock currently lol

[stone flax]

buy half as nice means you spend twice

im not rich enough to buy cheap

good things come to those who wait

[rare kraken]

What are these words ur saying

[stone flax]

Buy cheap trash = spend more in the end

type shi

also again

[kind helm]

for keyboard 100%, for gpu not so much

[stone flax]

tofu functionally the same as $20 alu case dz60 case

especially without weight

[kind helm]

that a attack on my tofu 2.0 or what

[stone flax]

Only reason to buy is looks bc of the color options it gives

otherwise literally just buy cheap traymount case

[rare kraken]

I just want smth that’s quiet

[silver nest]

so you’re telling me this cheap ali case is better than a tofu?

https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0BrJdH

[paper bloom]

Yo got a question what would be good to remove stabilizer ping

Most of the time

[little glen]

I would just say the general things

Balancing wire, lube, more lube

[silver nest]

take the side where you use your mouse and put it under your keyboard and the keyboard side under your mouse

[paper bloom]

Ig that works yeah

[rare kraken]

Both sides are messed up I switch it around every month

[silver nest]

oh

ngl you should’ve just put it in a bathtub and used dish soap to clean it

that’s what i used to do when my cloth pad got really dirty

[kind helm]

i think its over for his pad ngl

[rare kraken]

Tried that ain’t work

[silver nest]

or just put it in a washing machine

[kind helm]

boiled water + ironed

[silver nest]

i still can’t believe he did that 😭😭

[rare kraken]

That was the only way to get the wax out

There is still wax on my keyboard

[tawdry tree]

the fact that it’s “alive” still is kinda crazy

[tawdry tree]

you know what to do bro

😭😭

[kind helm]

people think i was abusing my pad

hehe

[rare kraken]

Boil my keycaps?

But a lil is on my case

[silver nest]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

nooooo

[tawdry tree]

rinse it out with boiling water after you’ve put it in the dishwasher

then iron ofc

[rare kraken]

Ain’t got a dishwasher

[kind helm]

https://youtube.com/shorts/7lxp1UJ_i2o time to put a keyboard in boiled water too

[rare kraken]

How do you even iron keycaps there too small I got a steaming iron where it shoots steam but also irons

[kind helm]

what pcb is this btw, like this is actually kinda nutty

[tawdry tree]

washing machine works as well

[glacial wind]

Uh oh. My days of overdrafting my psu may be finally backfiring. All usb devices randomly malfunctioning now lol

[tawdry tree]

gateron’s

[kind helm]

damn

[chilly mural]

Oh no, looks like you need a new psu, at best. At worst maybe new MB

[rare kraken]

Bro I want a case but I ain’t tryna wait a month for the frog thing to come out

[tawdry tree]

RNG salv bro

gamble is life

[chilly mural]

waiting is nice, gives you time to decide if you need it after all

[glacial wind]

well really I need a new everything except gpu and cpu. I’ve been waiting for new oleds to come out though

[silver nest]

just get a tofu redux you’ll probably get it in like 2 weeks

[kind helm]

you can actually iron a keycap

i think thats essentially how dye sub works right?

[rare kraken]

Oh Alr it’s like 2 or 3 keycaps with wax

[tawdry tree]

tofu with weight cost the same as rng salv

[chilly mural]

ooo, soo it's dying right near the time you need it

[glacial wind]

Yeah I’m just trying to keep it alive for another 6 months then do a full redo with new case

[rare kraken]

People said it’s the same as a 20 dollar case

[tawdry tree]

it’s not but without the weight it kinda is

[kind helm]

i thought you calm and chill, why is bro gambling with psu

[tawdry tree]

it’s just tray

[kind helm]

that sounds scary

[silver nest]

hmm im looking to to get a new case tho might wait until the gt-60 comes out tho

[tawdry tree]

even with the weight it’s still inconsistent

[kind helm]

and crazy

[rare kraken]

I just want smth that makes my keyboard sound better

[tawdry tree]

salv 👍

[glacial wind]

Its just a tad below requirements, not end of the world really

[rare kraken]

Watch me get the ugly brown

[tawdry tree]

brown isgood

it’s copper

shiny

[silver nest]

redux brass weight friction fit pad/gummy oring mount should be fine fr

[rare kraken]

Also what does a weight do to a keyboard in terms of other than adding weight

[kind helm]

didnt this guy want quiet board

[rare kraken]

That’s what I’m tryna get

[kind helm]

ruining salv with silent switches

[silver nest]

makes it less hollow

[tawdry tree]

salv is good

[rare kraken]

Can’t I just add a block in that John

[stone flax]

This is just dye sub

[stone flax]

Yes

[tawdry tree]

surprisingly at first but it’s good for silent

[kind helm]

any recording

[silver nest]

@tawdry tree does the rng salv come with foam? also i don’t really want to order stuff from the us because of tariffs

[kind helm]

a silent switch with salv reverb. sounds... weird

[tawdry tree]

haven’t made any

[tawdry tree]

it’s good haha

[rare kraken]

What’s a friction pad and why am I putting gummies in my keyboard🤦‍♂️

[tawdry tree]

with both haimu silents and with u4

[tawdry tree]

no foam.

if you’re not from the us, maybe find one second hand

near you

[silver nest]

its to put the pcb in the case without screwing it down

[rare kraken]

Oh

[silver nest]

you know any canadian vendors?

[tawdry tree]

no clue

for second hand check mechmarket

reddit/disc

[rare kraken]

Might just get this for now

[kind helm]

if you happen to make a recording like that can you @ me. but ofc its no biggie

[rare kraken]

But keycaps might look ugly on wooting bc black plastic case

[silver nest]

this is the friction fit pad

[rare kraken]

Oh Alr also what case is that

[grave tulip]

duhuk test, sounds so poppy i love it

[silver nest]

461e don’t get this case lol

[rare kraken]

lol Alr

I just want a metal case ngl that matches my keycap at this point

[kind helm]

who said duhuk ez to pull

oh hell nah am i having skill issues

defuser popped off even

[silver nest]

@rare kraken this is how my keyboard sounds

[tawdry tree]

ye, just tilt

don’t use the diffuser side to pull

if the diffuser pops out

you used it to pull from

;)

[kind helm]

that's exactly what i did

i used the other side

[tawdry tree]

😭

[kind helm]

i am lost

[tawdry tree]

they’re the same as Raws to pull

[sacred elm]

ice ultra, deng pro, magneto pom, jade pro, raw, lekker v2, aquarium

[kind helm]

ain no fcking way cam said this shit ez

[sacred elm]

vid from chinese friend

[kind helm]

yo i legit cant do it

lmao

[sacred elm]

he told me that pulling ice ultra is easy

[kind helm]

wtf

[sacred elm]

unlike other hejin switches

[silver nest]

i had to pull out my raws from the og 60he steel plate i had to pull and push the switch with my thumb to get it out lol almost bent the plate

[tawdry tree]

first time is never easy

cause the hooks intact

[chilly mural]

aquarium looks soo stable

[kind helm]

look at the clip

[rare kraken]

That’s good I just want more silent or thocky

[kind helm]

please someone give me faith, tell me i dont have to open up the case

[rare kraken]

Last time I said creamy everyone went insane

[sacred elm]

yes but probably not as stable as poms because of the magnet

[kind helm]

[chilly mural]

aww

[tawdry tree]

what the fuck are u doing man 😭😭

[silver nest]

you'll probably not really get thocky on he switches

[sacred elm]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1200840547074572348/1348313838189285487/20250309_231653.mp4?ex=67cfab5d&is=67ce59dd&hm=b1c45889c6e07f12162aa88f9f9e18bc02e80d3d7d04322e7ae16fe3ac6f9d1a&

ice ultra

[silver nest]

is that a holy60?

[chilly mural]

It looks like what Jade Max should've been

[sacred elm]

no, its 7$ copy

[kind helm]

yo cam said ez so i just did what i normally do, tilt top side then pull bottom side then shit was fcked

hold on let me try something

I refuse to open up this case

[tawdry tree]

what puller?

[kind helm]

cheap amazon one

[tawdry tree]

maybe it’s difficult with that

yeah

[kind helm]

i havent struggled this hard with a switch before

[tawdry tree]

[sacred elm]

L ejin

[silver nest]

nah these ones are bad i've broken a few switches with it lol

[tawdry tree]

TX puller the goat

🙏

[kind helm]

time to buy new puller

[chilly mural]

😭

[sacred elm]

time to buy poms

[sour blade]

it looks like you censored the dahuk

blurred it out

[silver nest]

these ones are goated lol got mine for free off temu

[tawdry tree]

dogshit

you’re torturing yourself using those

:(

[silver nest]

idk its better than that shitty one josh uses

[tawdry tree]

maybe

equally shit imo

wire keycap puller is good tho

so +1 for that ig

😂

[kind helm]

mr aligner puller shaming me

fine i order new puller right now

[silver nest]

i don't really pull switches out often so i cant really justify the price but it looks good

[tawdry tree]

no shame. just hurting yourself with it man.

[kind helm]

which color you brought

[tawdry tree]

goated puller

[tawdry tree]

white

[kind helm]

imma get the exact same color to remind myself of this shameful moment

[tawdry tree]

😂😂

[kind helm]

how dare i to use a amazon puller

[tawdry tree]

[silver nest]

i mean i got mine for free.99 so i dont really care lol

[tawdry tree]

yeah, it’s an alright first puller

[kind helm]

should i grab 2 of these fancy lookin cap puller too mr aligner

[tawdry tree]

it works somewhat

[kind helm]

i am looking for some more stuff to justify the 5 dolla shipping

xD

[tawdry tree]

you could, if you don’t have a wire keycap puller yet

[tawdry tree]

i feel u

[polar girder]

Fr

[silver nest]

i have out of these it really hard to take out a keycap with it

[kind helm]

mr aligner approve or nah

[tawdry tree]

approved sir

[polar girder]

If you don’t have my multiple switch pullers, you’re not living

[kind helm]

might as well get a better set of tools honestly if i need them

[tawdry tree]

any wire puller will do

[polar girder]

My favorite keycap puller is plastic actually

Some cheap little thing that came with some brush

[tawdry tree]

plastic keycap pullers are great

[polar girder]

Switch pulling is what nightmares are made of

My least favorite activity on earth

[kind helm]

anything here worth buying?

[polar girder]

I’d rather shovel cow shit

[silver nest]

20 in one temu keyboard cleaning kit switch pull the goat 🙏🏽

[polar girder]

I have the first two and use them lol idk

[kind helm]

lubing tops pulling switches imo

[polar girder]

Although the stem holder is disadvantaged by box stems. Still seems to work tho

[kind helm]

painfully boring

[polar girder]

Yeah that thing

[kind helm]

pulling switches is exciting because you may actually break them

[polar girder]

Goated

[kind helm]

LOL

[tawdry tree]

stem picker is nice but can’t be used with box stems

switch pusher is cute but utterly useless

[polar girder]

Mine works

“Works”

[kind helm]

essentially the one i have

[polar girder]

Nah bro

Underrated aF

[polar girder]

Maybe sweet but gives me nightmares

[kind helm]

i just included that so i can read this statement again

[polar girder]

Only problem with the TX one is it’s kind of bulky

But it’s nice

Haven’t broken a switch (yet) with it

[kind helm]

i remember mr cam recommended this one

[tawdry tree]

It slips off most switches that I tried it with. So you just push it down rather than the switch

[kind helm]

but bro also said pulling duhuk is easy so i dont know if i should believe him anymore

[polar girder]

Yeah it’s tricky but it can work, in the couple I played around with. Can’t really recommend it tho lol. So, fair

[polar girder]

Yeah I never bought this one

[tawdry tree]

can’t do what TX’s can ;)

[polar girder]

Yeah TX is unique

[tawdry tree]

honestly, it just sits on my desk

it’s cute af

lil cube

[polar girder]

The rest all seem ripe to terrorize HE switches

[tawdry tree]

😂

[kind helm]

i think tx one makes a lot of sense with the bigger surface it would be easier to handle

[silver nest]

$40 is insane tho

[polar girder]

It’s so satisfying

They go in so solidly lol

[tawdry tree]

yeah you can tilt properly with it as well, like a crowbar almost lol

[tawdry tree]

should be illegal

[silver nest]

fr

[tawdry tree]

their 2 in 1 puller is better anyways (still shit, scratches every plate you put it on and can’t pull some switches)

[polar girder]

Well and HE is like hella weak where all switch pullers grab it. So the TX one is nice that it spreads out the pressure

[kind helm]

better than wooting btw

just happened to see this while looking through divinikey

[sour blade]

do you guys know any keyboards that are similar to these

long boys

[kind helm]

think they supposed to be unique

[sour blade]

im looking for stuff thats long

as long as its long it fits into my category

[kind helm]

🍆

[tawdry tree]

yeah exactly. This was more an issue with the older switches that had that really thin diffuser, any normal puller could bend it completely when you put pressure on it.

impossible to happen with the tx one (unless you were pulling “wrong” 😂)

[silver nest]

just get a separate numpad lol

[sour blade]

noo i dont want it detached

[stone flax]

Ass fucking puller

Ass

Ass

Ass

Ass

mine broke in 1 minute

im deaduzz

[sour blade]

oh i found some
"CandyBar40%"
"Adelie 40%"

[calm pulsar]

did you jus call my dahooks ass??

[kind helm]

the pulla

[tawdry tree]

-30

[stone flax]

Polygon7

[tawdry tree]

sucks 2 suck

[silver nest]

this thing look cute af ngl

[stone flax]

Shit puller

Gateron more like lateron

hahahaha

[kind helm]

@calm pulsar @ me when its done in case i miss it sir

[tawdry tree]

[calm pulsar]

okay, I pray adhd will allow me to not forget

[tawdry tree]

mine never broke but just scratches everything

2 in 1 seems fine but still the scratch issue

design flaw basically

[silver nest]

no way you actually bought it 😭

[kind helm]

@tawdry tree yea or nah

[tawdry tree]

unnecessary for magnetic seitches

can get it anyway though

for mech stuff

[kind helm]

with mx i was just using my finga

[tawdry tree]

that is crazy

but if it works it works

[noble mason]

i want another board to put together

[tawdry tree]

plate fork easier tho

[silver nest]

why would you use this lol

[stone flax]

I got it for $2

[silver nest]

oh lol

[kind helm]

i think for mx its useful

soft plate

[stone flax]

Soft plates no standoffs

[tawdry tree]

for any standoffsless plate it’s useful

with HE that isn’t common though

[silver nest]

oh

[little glen]

I got one of those since i‘m planning some mx builds soonish

[kind helm]

yea or nah

[tawdry tree]

no

wtf

[kind helm]

i was hoping i can find tx puller on amazon

LOL

[tawdry tree]

😂😂

[little glen]

I got tx switch puller and ws keycap puller

[kind helm]

i dont have anything i want to buy from divinikey other than the pulla

[kind helm]

which one you like more?

[stone flax]

No

[little glen]

Havent got to use the tx puller yet

My duhuks havent arrived yet

[chilly mural]

Nice for rhythm game

[stone flax]

Buy me something

Thank you

[kind helm]

what you want

[chilly mural]

almost nice

[stone flax]

uhhhhhhhhhhhh

keycaps

[kind helm]

nah

i was just asking to see if maybe that is something i want to buy too hehe

fck... should I?

nvm just found something i actually want.

[silver nest]

found out someone made an ortho he pcb

[kind helm]

link?

[silver nest]

i think its custom

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/1hb0eyt/a_halleffect_ortholinear_keyboard/

[polar girder]

That’s sick

[kind helm]

i have a few duhuk on my board that need some extra love but i guess i cope 7 days and wait for tx pulla

[polar girder]

Ortho has a special spot in my heart

[polar girder]

Gorgeous btw

[silver nest]

cool project fr

[tawdry tree]

open source + he’s looking to implement gamepad iirc

like qmk/via but for analog boards

would be so great

[silver nest]

fr

[polar girder]

I want an HE numpad lol

[chilly mural]

same

[silver nest]

he numpad would be sick

[kind helm]

competing with mr takmisser to become the fastest accountants in the world.

[chilly mural]

Man, I just want numpad for better ergonomics

[kind helm]

thanks again for the screenshot you sent about geon's recommended settings for HE board btw, i really enjoy the new settings.

[chilly mural]

Closest to that is dual weilding HE board (which im gonna try)

[polar girder]

What’d you end up on?

[kind helm]

0.3 for actuation and downstroke rt and 0.1 for upstroke

[silver nest]

accounting with RAPID TRIGGER for FASTER LOWER LATENCY number entry

[kind helm]

i was using 0.1 for everything before, 0.3 felt more stable and predictable in a way

[silver nest]

beat all of your accounting opponents with 0.1 actuation

[kind helm]

maybe just coping but my typing was much better on monkeytype lol

[silver nest]

venom 60 doesnt have profiles?

on my 60he i just fn+enter and im good

[kind helm]

had my legendary 26/4 game last night perhaps geon's settings contributed.

[tropic urchin]

@harsh dove I thank you for cancelling your GT order mine just shipped 😳

[kind helm]

wait what

[calm pulsar]

I think Cam said his shipped too

[tropic urchin]

He lied to me earlier then, it sounded like he did

I ordered mine late af so I figured I would be one of the last ones so it seemed fishy

[silver nest]

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lemokey/lemokey-l5-he-magnetic-switch-8k-polling-and-scan-rate-001mm?sub_id=

looks ugly af ngl

[kind helm]

go find the old wooting stuff

same shit

[stone flax]

Venom

[kind helm]

rgb + black case and wob caps

[silver nest]

yeah i mean every gaming brands keyboard was like that back then

[chilly mural]

Looks fine

[chilly mural]

Albeit generic

[silver nest]

its just the keycaps that look ugly tbh the rest is whatever

[tall hollow]

32k scan rate thou :3

[calm pulsar]

not even 4096k scan rate, cringe

[silver nest]

its a q1 with some extra flair

[chilly mural]

A bit faster q1

[silver nest]

faster is better we should have mice and keyboards with 16khz polling rate and 0.0000000000001 mm actuation and also 8k poling gaming headsets so you can hear your enemies before the even move /s

[paper bloom]

Who needs wireless when you got wired

No need for 8k polling rate gaming headset

[silver nest]

/s

[polar girder]

8k everything. Don’t lie.

cant even buy it on taobao, all the stock went to japan smh

[languid kestrel]

feel like you can only blame yourself for that

[safe stag]

it's fun to see that afaik, every HE pcb manufacturer added a led bar to their TKL design

[calm pulsar]

yeah MX custom boards usually add something in that spot too

[tawdry tree]

everything he goes to japan lmao

[calm pulsar]

to fill empty space

[safe stag]

like a knob on top and all the home, del, etc keys are below ?

though duck also had LED accents in that spot

[fallen pecan]

oof 50% markup

you're gonna love the realforce style cable channels

[tropic urchin]

What the fuck

[little glen]

Cable channels like wooting used back in the day

[fallen pecan]

they just HE-fied their MX board from 2022

[little glen]

Wasnt there a guy that came into the chat the other day and started ranting about how much better a weird cable channel is cause he keeps tilting his keyboard at weird angles

And people told him its stupid

[fallen pecan]

now he can tilt it however he wants

[tropic urchin]

That shit is cursed ong

[tawdry tree]

welcome welcome

you’ll never need anything else surely

[calm pulsar]

uhh ngl I don't like the top out sound

rip

its like rattly

[sacred elm]

refund

[calm pulsar]

could be the spring, I will try a lubed jade pro spring in there

[sacred elm]

uk

[calm pulsar]

but its probably still the top out lol

[languid kestrel]

sounds like lekkers unlubed with the top-out rattle

[calm pulsar]

yeah it has old HE top out like original jades or lekkers

im gonna do a 3 keys test between poms and duhuks w/ jade pro lubed springs

funny cause the wobble isnt so bad, but the bottom out wobble is worse than poms

[tawdry tree]

doesn’t sound like spring ping, just keep that one on the side. maybe something wrong with the mechanism itself

[trail bane]

Throw in some nice straps for the Wooting 60HE available on ali

[tawdry tree]

box stem cheat 😂

[vast yoke]

try different keycap?/

[tawdry tree]

doubt it has to do with the keycaps

[calm pulsar]

3 poms vs 3 duhuks (jade pro lubed spring)

seems I just don't like the dampened top out

bottom out sounds fine

[glacial wind]

What if it’s just that the poms have cleansed the evil within you and now your ears have adapted to a higher level of holiness

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/spirit-woah-bright-lights-gif-14034371

[sacred elm]

pom pom

[stone flax]

I cringed

[calm pulsar]

it's more like I've always been adapted

also jade knights still clear both duhuks and poms on sound

[glacial wind]

Maybe there’s just some evil remnants left within you that rejects going full pom

[calm pulsar]

but I will just keep poms in the gaeming board and use MX for typing

[calm pulsar]

well my frog benom build remains unchanged with poms I guess

lol

The church stands united

[calm pulsar]

the Scarlet Monastery of HE community

[glacial wind]

I have good news for you though. After much contemplation I have decided on a combo of 16-25 and 24-70 lenses instead of 16-35

[stone flax]

Fix ur springs

Smh

[glacial wind]

Now I know @calm pulsar in particular might wonder “sno, isn’t the 16-35 more versatile as a do everything lens without changing?” Yes that is true, but 16-25 is small and light for tight vlog clips and the 24-70 can be swapped for less run and gun cinematic b roll later

[stone flax]

ok

[calm pulsar]

I tried but it seems I just don't prefer the little dampening thing on the stem

I like distinguishable top out

[calm pulsar]

exactly my thoughts

[stone flax]

💔

[tropic urchin]

🤣😭😭😭😭

[calm pulsar]

otherwise duhuks are good on wobble, better than raws I think and in general just enough for everything

and the bottom out sound is nice

[tropic urchin]

Nah that shit def was the RAW church before it was converted to duhuk

Ppl were breaking out the torture pokers if someone said they weren’t getting them

[glacial wind]

I dunno maybe they should stick with the raw naming while being inclusive of duhuk followers

Dudu church isn’t as cool branding as raw

[stone flax]

[glacial wind]

Unless maybe they could go as far as dududunga to embrace the full Korean meme and there’s even a music video for it

[calm pulsar]

not me though! I expressed my honest opinion and preference, and for the price duhuks still are crazy, just like raws

I still prefer raws among the 2

[stone flax]

The man was literally randomly spinning on a light up segway in middle of performing

[calm pulsar]

cringe gif

[peak breach]

Thats the point

[calm pulsar]

speaking of which, do you know if kpop bands really sing when performing live? like they have very busy choreography, but I was always wondering if they actually sing during that

[stone flax]

Cringe gif

[glacial wind]

it's mix. some do and some don't. they do have one music show in korea where bands come on and only sing live to prove they can perform live

[calm pulsar]

nice, so they can prove it once and then just dance during live performances in the future

[honest sparrow]

Hello guys. What is the best method to unwarp a gmk abs spacebar? I see people using boiling water and hairdryer

[calm pulsar]

wrong vid sec

[calm pulsar]

whatever that is on the top out
duhuks first

[tawdry tree]

Get a replacement that is straight.

[honest sparrow]

They do that?

[tawdry tree]

that is not normally sir, throw that switch out and try a different one :)

[tawdry tree]

Afaik yeah

[sacred elm]

aligner coping

[tawdry tree]

it’s a €100+ set, all your keycaps should be straight

[tawdry tree]

I have them sir :)

[sacred elm]

nice

[calm pulsar]

I did a 3 key test on ASD too
I just seem to not like that it dampens the top out with the thingie on the stem

[tawdry tree]

ty

[honest sparrow]

I agree, but dont know if they will say its fine and some warp is expected

Should I contact gmk or the shop?

[tawdry tree]

yeah that I can understand, as long as the sound is clean but dampened that’s how mine sound.

The rattle in your first vid is not normally tho

[calm pulsar]

usually I've seen people contacting the vendor, and then the vendor requests a replacement from gmk

[tawdry tree]

The shop

[honest sparrow]

It sounds like shit

[calm pulsar]

in the first vid I havent replaced the spring yet, so it can affect the sound maybe, with lubed springs its a bit better

both dahooks and poms felt great after me typing on his silent tactile MX for a while now

[peak breach]

There’s ways to straighten out keycaps

[honest sparrow]

Yep, thats is my question. Peoples experience and advice

[polar girder]

I HATE FRICTION

[glacial wind]

the warm water thing worked for me

[honest sparrow]

Abs or pbt? This is abs

I’ve also seen some disasters xD

[glacial wind]

honestly people don't talk about it as much but even gmk gets warped space bars at times

[peak breach]

Pretty sure there should be some tutorials on youtube

[honest sparrow]

Like people ending up with creative spacebars

[glacial wind]

just don't use boiling water and lean on side of less time in water

[honest sparrow]

I’ve seem them already, they dont contain other people experience

Also read all related threads to this on reddit, and some people just fucked up entirely

[glacial wind]

although honestly if it's not affecting your keyboard then don't worry about it

[honest sparrow]

It is

[glass girder]

not sure if this is a modding question, but are there any recommended cables that wooting says we should use for the 60he?

[glacial wind]

what does that have to do with spacebar though

[honest sparrow]

The ones they sell for example

[glacial wind]

that just sounds like stab could use a touchup

[honest sparrow]

Nah, its just with this one

[sacred elm]

longer than 2m is not recommended

[honest sparrow]

They are lubed with xht and 205 on the housing, they are perfectly fine with other keycaps

[glacial wind]

I mean if you’re worried then don’t do it, but I think you have to be pretty silly to ruin keycaps with hot water

[sacred elm]

@honest sparrow put some plastic wrap in your spacebar https://youtu.be/uV-tnLRgjHg?si=hAJDCDP_SM5Pdt60

[glacial wind]

I’d have to literally submerge it in insanely hot water and leave it longer than suggested then bend with more force than needed to do what that photo you showed did

[honest sparrow]

I contacted oblotzky, he is on vacation though. Also Im waiting for the aesthetic pack with the pink spacebar

[glacial wind]

I’ve fixed warping in like 10+ different sets and never once had a disaster like that photo

[honest sparrow]

But I dont know, 120€+shipping and apparently is a common thing with gmk

[glacial wind]

Whoever did that photo is honestly someone who did not follow instructions

[honest sparrow]

I have a set from aliexpress that is flawless… 20€

[glacial wind]

Gmk is bought for the lettering quality more so than because it’s flawless from warping

Search reddit and you’ll find many examples of warp gmk space bars

[honest sparrow]

Im not sure if I should try with the hair dryer. Otherwise I saw people saying different things. One 5 secs other one 30secs

[glacial wind]

hair dryer sounds dumb to me, hard to control how hot it gets

[honest sparrow]

There is not a consensus about the time it should be on the water

And also some guys says 80º and other 100 or more

[glacial wind]

if you're worried then do 80

and only put it in for 30 seconds

it's not like you can't just redip it again if it wasn't enough

[honest sparrow]

Full dip?

[glacial wind]

yeah

[honest sparrow]

Ok

[glacial wind]

just submerge whole thing for 30 seconds in hot but not boiling water

[honest sparrow]

I was thinking about the 80º i saw

[calm pulsar]

spacebar ramen yummy

[glacial wind]

spacebar is easiest one to fix honestly since it's so long and easier to bend

fixing shift keys and such is way more annoying

[honest sparrow]

The other ones are fine

@glacial wind https://youtube.com/shorts/N3VEspnuQxw?si=Q59ZP5NlKxe2od8i

This is with the wootings abs, the spcebar souns fine to me no?

[sacred elm]

im pretty sure plastic wrap will help you with that

[glacial wind]

no idea, i've never had to fix a spacebar to solve stab noise before

i fix them because of ocd, not because it ever affected my board

[honest sparrow]

On the yt video I sent to me the spacebar sounds perfect. I cant hear rattle or ping

And I couldnt hear anything the days I used it waiting for the gmks

[paper bloom]

Ive

[honest sparrow]

do the tx ap work with the 80he pc plate? i have a set i can try to rule out the stabs

[paper bloom]

Mostly its the keycaps issue

Unless u got a good 1

Or ur lube is little

[honest sparrow]

you can see the actual lube they have

[paper bloom]

If its stock lube

Then its normal

But id say relube

[honest sparrow]

Xht bdz

[paper bloom]

Hm thats odd

[honest sparrow]

Look at this myguy

[paper bloom]

Sorry im on phone rn lmao

[paper bloom]

Oof

Rip spacebar

[honest sparrow]

Its goddam cursed

[paper bloom]

Yeah

[paper bloom]

Legit big OOF

[honest sparrow]

I mean I did not notice it was that bad until I actually put it on the phone screen

Phone screen is goated for this stuff

There is also this

[little glen]

Thats normal

Thats from the injection molding process

[honest sparrow]

Its normal that it happens you mean?

[little glen]

That little spot is normal

The warping is not

[honest sparrow]

Ah ok! I understand now

Not buying gmk again xD

[little glen]

That is where the plastic gets shot into the mold

[crimson sky]

every spacebar has it

unless it is milled

[honest sparrow]

None of mine had this

[crimson sky]

but also, it should not be warped, contact the vendor and you should be able to get a replacement

[honest sparrow]

But its fine, i dont mind the dot

I just mind its warped and sounds like shit

[crimson sky]

yea the warped is the bigger issue

[stone flax]

Its literally just sprue marks

[stone flax]

Get a replacement

ez

[crimson sky]

which you can contact your vendor about

and they should be able to get you a replacement

[honest sparrow]

Yep, already talked to the vendor. Will have to wait a bit since he is on vacation. Im waiting for the aesthetic pack though

Hopefully it comes straight (no chance xD)

[little glen]

I like my gmk sets but i dont think i lost the lottery yet

[crimson sky]

nah, gmk is normally straight

but there were some bad batches

[tawdry tree]

I never understood why gmk opted for the back rather than the bottom with so many other manus, is it specifically for something you know?

[honest sparrow]

Hopefully this one comes straight

[crimson sky]

gmk actually never opted for it, that was cherry lol

[tawdry tree]

they just never changed it?

[crimson sky]

if I were to take a guess, might make the dual shot mold easier

[crimson sky]

would require a full redesign of the tooling

[little glen]

Might make cleanup easier

[harsh dove]

Yep and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

[little glen]

Might make the inside of the switch easier to keep consistent so you dont run into weird issues

[crimson sky]

possibly

[little glen]

Plus you cant see it when in regular use anyway

[crimson sky]

keykobo has it on the bottom lip

which makes it basically invisible

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[crimson sky]

but also remember, the caps were made as a cheaper alternative to IBM

[little glen]

Probably some combination of all the factors we mentioned

[tawdry tree]

not that i’m looking at the board from the back but at the bottom it’s cleaner

[crimson sky]

so pricepoint was a thing in the original design

[harsh dove]

Tbh that’s not even that bad imo

[little glen]

Oh hey cam my duhuks came today

[crimson sky]

nah that is too much

[little glen]

But i wasnt home

So i need to go to post office tomorrow

[harsh dove]

I’ve seen way worse, that’s almost flat

[little glen]

[crimson sky]

yea still too much

[harsh dove]

Could put it in warm water and straighten that

[honest sparrow]

I would not care if it sounded ok, but it doesnt, it sounds really bad and to me it sound fine with other keycaps...

[calm pulsar]

@kind helm taggin you for the dahook test

[honest sparrow]

you did that? im thinking about doing it, but i dont think i will get a replacement if i fuck it up like some people did xD

[tawdry tree]

better get a replacement so gmk has some motivation to get their shit in order 😂

[tawdry tree]

I’d assume you will

[harsh dove]

Yeah I mean, nothings ever perfect, shit happens

[calm pulsar]

havent had to deal with that yet, hopefully won't have going forward

[honest sparrow]

shift is not perfect either but it works just fine

[tawdry tree]

seems to happen more frequently as of recent though

I’ve seen posts here like twice a month

[honest sparrow]

@harsh dove

[harsh dove]

Did Tuan’s 8008 set have bad spacebars too?

[tawdry tree]

not sure

[calm pulsar]

is the 7u warped? get a board with 7u spacebar, ez

[crimson sky]

I mean that sounds like some more lube on the left could fix that

but

[tawdry tree]

GPster’s was iirc

and he got a replacement

[harsh dove]

Yeah you could probably tune the stabilizer and fix that

[honest sparrow]

On the other hand:

[honest sparrow]

They are tuned already

[harsh dove]

Yeah it seems like some sets get bad luck, like Botanicals R2

[tawdry tree]

that too yeah

[honest sparrow]

And working fine with other spacebars

[harsh dove]

Oh it doesn’t do that with other spacebars?

[coarse lake]

do you guys know if this set is anywhere available: https://kbdfans.com/collections/keycaps/products/pbtfans-ronin?variant=41483137745035

i cant freakin find it

[honest sparrow]

Nope: https://youtube.com/shorts/N3VEspnuQxw?si=Q59ZP5NlKxe2od8i

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah

[honest sparrow]

This gmk bar is cursed

[harsh dove]

Yeah it is lol

Sorry bro

[honest sparrow]

To me the ones on the video i uploaded to yt its perfect

Just average sound from the cheap abs

But no rattle or ping

[trail bane]

Ye boiii

[harsh dove]

Where’s the sound test

[coarse lake]

do you guys also have a high pitch ping sound with geon raw he?

[trail bane]

only pbt from gmk are MTNU sets

That’s crazy 🤣🤣🤣

Respect the hustle tho

what does MTNU means?

[trail bane]

:)

[calm pulsar]

different keycap profile, they are all pure PBT (supposed to be)

all the cherry profile sets are ABS

[harsh dove]

Bro sent a smiley face

[coarse lake]

aaaaaah why so -.- they are so pricy and still go ABS

[trail bane]

Too cheap for me rn($2 left on bank account)

[harsh dove]

Damn

[calm pulsar]

abs doesnt mean bad lol, most pbt marketed sets as "durable" etc are usually a combination of abs and pbt

[harsh dove]

Not getting no POMs with $2

[tropic urchin]

Not getting much for $2 in fairness

[trail bane]

17 march

[coarse lake]

really? i thought they get shiny so fast? some guy told me i should only look for pbt at reddit

[calm pulsar]

nah but fr duhuks are good on wobble and bottom out sound, I just didnt prefer the dampened top out

nothing against them

[stone flax]

mtnu is pbt

[harsh dove]

Nah that’s fair

I’m just messin around

abs shines, pbt shines

[tropic urchin]

No messing around allowed

[calm pulsar]

I've grown to like the shine tbh, also the typing feel is better than on some other double shot keycaps due to different technologies

[harsh dove]

Yeah I’m biased towards GMK sound and feel

embrace shine

[calm pulsar]

[harsh dove]

[tropic urchin]

I see your GT case also shipped, very nais you kept it

[calm pulsar]

they are decent sure, just choose a design you like, imo it's a bit more important than the feel, and not everyone cares about such minute details

[harsh dove]

Wym kept it lol

You thought I’d cancel?

[tropic urchin]

From your other message it sounded it like you were in the process of cancelling it

[coarse lake]

would it also be ok to mix abs and pbt keycaps? like spacebar enter etc abs and rest is pbt?

[harsh dove]

Really?

Nah

[tropic urchin]

[trail bane]

Pom

[calm pulsar]

well the profile can be a bit different even if it says cherry, but ig if you just switch the spacebar its fine
