last time I clicked on one of his videos it was like 1 min of the actual info I wanted and 29 mins of random tests that had no business being 29 mins

[harsh totem]

its 28 minutes of pure sound tests lmfao

nothing else

no commentary

[glacial wind]

People need to learn from dbokey

[sacred elm]

yea 28 minutes of raed,black knight, lucifer, rice pudding, deng god, neo lavender soundtests lmao

[glacial wind]

Dbokey still the king of at least making boring stuff visually appealing in the edit while cutting out repetitive nonsense

[tawdry tree]

does he use sound tests from previous vids?

[sacred elm]

he needs to forget about those switches

so people dont just buy outdated mess

i mean why is there jade and dash sound tests separately

and l60 l45?

and deng god / lucifer

lol

[glacial wind]

https://youtu.be/rx32SvEfJHs?si=42B2oTgqMiatLhcM - the king of visually appealing video edits on keyboard content

I’m fairly sure half his subs might not even build keyboards but just subs because he edits so well

[chilly mural]

Too cinematic for me. Which is a good thing since it's just enough for everybody else.

[glacial wind]

He has this thing he sometimes does where he drops 20 switches onto a keyboard then edits it so that it looks like all 20 drop into the switch slot one by one inside of a 3 second window

[harsh dove]

Nah , he trolling now

Bubbly for POMs is crazy

[sacred elm]

sander said the same thing

[tall hollow]

Oh boy, lmao

[steel ibex]

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCAofHYPnkd/?igsh=MTV3cTg5amMxMnM5dQ== is it possible to purchase these keycaps

[marble sierra]

Wasn't these an April fools thing by HyperX?

But I do kinda wanna see if I can hfind some for ya xD

[austere creek]

How do you make a num pad out of those

[tall hollow]

[rare kraken]

But I don’t need a num pad I lokey like 60%

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[harsh dove]

These aren’t even Hall Effect switches

You will damage your PCB trying to shove these in

[rare kraken]

[rare kraken]

[little glen]

[polar girder]

NSFW

[fluid ravine]

Considering this is at least a 7 year old keyboard

[rare kraken]

What’s that

[fluid ravine]

You're disgusting @rare kraken

[polar girder]

Not Safe For Work

[rare kraken]

Nah

[polar girder]

Aka it’s fucking gross

[rare kraken]

It’s not the that bad

Should have saw before

There were hairs tangled in between the keyboard

[polar girder]

As long as it’s clean now idc

[rare kraken]

Like in between the switches

[fluid ravine]

I'm cleaning deh key caps :3

[rare kraken]

It ain’t clean anymore this is after 2 weeks

[fluid ravine]

Such nice cousin I am

[calm pulsar]

[fluid ravine]

If I manage to find a brush

This keyboard can be saved

[polar girder]

Clean keycaps how?

[rare kraken]

My setup clean tho

[fluid ravine]

Good

[fluid ravine]

Take key caps off with my bare fingers

[stone flax]

[tall hollow]

OH WAIT WHAT!!?? OH NAHHH

[stone flax]

Older than you

[rare kraken]

Do yall not know how to lube

[fluid ravine]

Ok bud-

[rare kraken]

That’s how I lube everything

Put some on the top and in between

[tall hollow]

mhm

[rare kraken]

And some in the keycap

For that extra silence

[stone flax]

Why is there lube on the stem

[fluid ravine]

[rare kraken]

I’m ngl what’s a stem

U talking abt the top

[fluid ravine]

[stone flax]

Whats the price

[harsh dove]

Bro been eating doritos, crackers, Oreos, cherry pie, and poptarts at his desk

[stone flax]

Scam

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[stone flax]

500g is like a little less than 250ml of krytox

[tall hollow]

with a dash of hot pockets too

[stone flax]

Thats 2.5ml of krytox for 10 dollars

SCAM

[rare kraken]

Uh I got a lil space on my desk for snacks

[trail bane]

New lubing metod 👀

[fluid ravine]

Alrighty

Key caps cleaned!

[harsh dove]

Your stabilizer has a growth on it

[stone flax]

What keeb

[tall hollow]

I mean, not really considering that 415ml costs this much

[stone flax]

Holy shit theres a fungus

[calm pulsar]

sweet lord

[cyan lark]

Yeah this was what I had questions about

[stone flax]

Overpriced

[cyan lark]

That looks like a new life form

[rare kraken]

I rlly do eat on my desk

[tall hollow]

its actually not overpriced, its a fair price. you get what you pay for.

[stone flax]

You will never use that much

[rare kraken]

Sadly I’m fasting so I can’t eat

[tall hollow]

well, you also forget that krytox isnt only used for keyboards

[kind helm]

i am forced to fast as well after seeing cam's close up shot

[cyan lark]

So your keyboard is fasting too

[stone flax]

Clean ur board before you become patient 0

[rare kraken]

Bro I cleaned it like last week

It gets dirty too fast so ima just stop cleaning it

[harsh dove]

Get yourself a keeb brush

[calm pulsar]

before the resident gets evil 😮

[tall hollow]

i've seen krytox being used on large machines that require it according to their service manuals.

[stone flax]

Ur either not cleaning properly or that boards disgusting

[rare kraken]

It’s cleaner than last time

[stone flax]

Theres fungus on the stabilizer

Ew

[rare kraken]

I tried brushing the food off it’s like stuck on the board I’m ngl

[harsh dove]

Personally, I’d remove the switches and stabilizers and clean the plate

Either with soap and water or a disinfectant wipe

[rare kraken]

All that work bro

[harsh dove]

Bro

[fluid ravine]

Heh- help..

[harsh dove]

It’s called hygiene

[rare kraken]

If it will make my keyboard sound better than bet

[harsh dove]

Yes it will sound better

And cleaner

[rare kraken]

You think my keyboard be brushing its own teeth

[fluid ravine]

Pulled these out with my fingers

[rare kraken]

It’s a keyboard

[fluid ravine]

✌

[cyan lark]

Seriously I have to know what that white and black blob is

[calm pulsar]

can you at least remove the plate and do it from below? sounds painful lol

[harsh dove]

I hope so

Mine do

[cyan lark]

And if it's growth you need to do some real work

[fluid ravine]

I CAN'T FIND A SCREWDRIVER

It's a gh60 board

Tray mount

[rare kraken]

Show a close up I might be able to tell you what it is

[tall hollow]

nonzero chance that its mold

[fluid ravine]

[calm pulsar]

rip

[tall hollow]

this is also why I never eat at my desk.

[cyan lark]

I won't judge for some hair buildup. Unless you're the baldson, that's just gonna happen. But food... no, that's a red line.

[harsh dove]

Yeah hair and fuzz is understandable

But all them salt and sugar cubes I can see in there

Unacceptable

[rare kraken]

Bro so should I just take apart the entire keyboard

[tall hollow]

wouldnt be a bad idea

[cyan lark]

Honestly yeah

[harsh dove]

I’m halfway joking with you but half way super serious too

I’d clean it

[cyan lark]

I can see food inside your stab and creeping under parts of your pcb.

[rare kraken]

I’m ngl the plate smells like ass

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/what-bruh-steve-harvey-shocked-surprised-gif-17654826

[tall hollow]

that indicates one thing: bacterial and fungal growth

[rare kraken]

No shot yall bullying me into. Cleaning my keyboard

[harsh dove]

Yes

We are molding you into a better version of yourself

[rare kraken]

My tip is too big to take out the screws tho

[harsh dove]

You have a smaller one?

[cyan lark]

You eat something, 1. do it away from your keyboard, 2. wash your paws before you touch your keyboard

[rare kraken]

But my room and everything is clean but my keyboard

[tall hollow]

paws :>

[cyan lark]

On the internet nobody knows you're actually a dog

[rare kraken]

Lokey never washed my hands before I touch my keyboard unless I took a shower or used the bathroom

[chilly mural]

It also means nobody knows if you're a kitsune too

[rare kraken]

Bro I can’t take out the screws

[tall hollow]

or a bird :>

[rare kraken]

Alr ima take out all of the keycaps and ima send a pic

And yall tell me if it’s bad

[cyan lark]

No

This isn't real is it

[rare kraken]

Clearly is Dino guy

I didn’t want to show this but ye

[tall hollow]

considering that bro has snacks in his drawer. I believe it.

[cyan lark]

[rare kraken]

I cleaned that off last week

[sacred elm]

[cyan lark]

You may need to involve professionals. No, not serious, but this is disgusting.

[sacred elm]

[sacred elm]

Disgusting.

[cyan lark]

Fungus

[rare kraken]

I can’t clean it bro

[sacred elm]

[rare kraken]

The tip to my screw driver is too big

So they screws don’t come off

[tall hollow]

[sacred elm]

get a ph1 screwdriver

[rare kraken]

Don’t got one

[harsh dove]

Nah

[sacred elm]

and clean that shit with isopropyl alcohol

or something

[harsh dove]

You had to sprinkle some crumbs on there real quick

No way that’s real

[tall hollow]

nah, soap and warm water

[rare kraken]

I got all this

[sacred elm]

yea i think you just did that for fun

not funny at all

[rare kraken]

Bro what

[noble mason]

[calm pulsar]

[sacred elm]

[noble mason]

[rare kraken]

The crumbs are like sticky gng

[fluid ravine]

Hey what can I use if my bro doesn't have a brush for krytox?

My fingers?

I'm deh best :3

Oh damn WiFi is shiiitt

[rare kraken]

GUY I GOT IT OUT

I had to force it out but it’s out

I brushed off as much as I could

[tall hollow]

run to walmart and get a brush set

lol

[noble mason]

watercolor brushes would work lol

those really cheap ones

[tall hollow]

just needs to be the really small ones

[harsh dove]

Or even a toothbrush that you don’t use

One of those free ones from the dentist

[fluid ravine]

[rare kraken]

The rest is like sticky

There’s dirt everywhere

[sacred elm]

[fluid ravine]

Nvm

[rare kraken]

Do I wash it with this on

[noble mason]

get dielectric grease from the automotive store if you’re doing stabs

[fluid ravine]

Boi I'm using whatever I can find

[calm pulsar]

I mean I think so too, high chance the kid is just trolling

[fluid ravine]

This ain't my house not my stuff, don't got my wallet and I can't drive!

[noble mason]

dielectric grease is pretty common maybe your dad has some

look for that

[fluid ravine]

😭😭

[rare kraken]

I’m not trolling

[fluid ravine]

I have everything at home yeah but I live an hour away from here

[rare kraken]

I was legit first asking where the screws were for the wooting and then people said I got mold on my keyboard

[sacred elm]

Yep

[noble mason]

he’s constantly been trolling since he got here “y’all dunno what creamy means?” “it’s the first video on tiktok that means that’s the definitive creamy sound”

[rare kraken]

I’m being fr

[noble mason]

sure bud

[rare kraken]

But now I want a silent keyboard but still want creamy

But I still don’t understand how yall don’t know what creamy is

It’s all over TikTok are yall on yt shorts or smth

But someone told me creamy is pretty much thocky so now I call it thocky

[rare kraken]

I took the black thing off now what

Yo these switches are mad hard to take off is that how it usally is

[fluid ravine]

Space bar is lubed
Sounding good, got rid of ticking and rattle noice

[harsh dove]

I mean sound is subjective so really it can be whatever you want

[harsh dove]

Did you remove the PCB from the plate?

[rare kraken]

But all over TikTok people say creamy and not thocky

[rare kraken]

I was planning on washing it with the black thing on it but I saw a power thing so I took it off

[agile grove]

bro tiktokers are dumb asf

[rare kraken]

And idk what a pcb is

[harsh dove]

Yeah no, remove the PCB and then you should just have the white plate and switches on their own

[rare kraken]

Do I take this black thing off

[harsh dove]

You don’t have too but you can to clean it

[agile grove]

I bet I could hop on tiktok rn and find 20 different definitions of “creamy” or “thocky”

[rare kraken]

But isn’t there lube on it

[harsh dove]

Yes

[rare kraken]

I don’t want my keyboard sounding like shit

[agile grove]

they are words that don’t mean anything

[rare kraken]

How do I take the black thing off

[agile grove]

I think you should spend less time on tiktok 🙏

[harsh dove]

You can use tweezers

[rare kraken]

13

[calm pulsar]

guy is like 12 so don't expect him to understand much

[rare kraken]

I don’t have tweezers

[agile grove]

12 is generous

[little glen]

please dont eat doritos right above your keyboard 😭

[harsh dove]

Toothpick?

[rare kraken]

Nah I don’t think so

[agile grove]

and if you do, clean your keyboard more often

[ionic breach]

damn really?

[harsh dove]

Any type of small tool or paper clip

[ionic breach]

most households have some

[little glen]

i personally do not eat at my desk at all (and if i do, i cover my board)

[ionic breach]

anything sharp would work yea

[rare kraken]

I got this

[little glen]

but also its not that hard to not eat right above your keeb

[rare kraken]

My pants are a bit dirty from the keyboard

[ionic breach]

take a brush first

[harsh dove]

You could probably use the hook end of that and push the stabilizer clips in

[ionic breach]

and sweep the keyboard

[rare kraken]

Alr

Is this some sort of tooth pick

[harsh dove]

Yes

You can fold that handle and there’s a pointy end

[rare kraken]

Alr and then what

[harsh dove]

And use that to push the stabilizer clips in and remove them

There’s tiny black tabs on the stabilizers that you push inwards

[rare kraken]

Can I wash the switches? They got some crumbs on them

[harsh dove]

Try just brushing them off first

[rare kraken]

Bro your lokey the only one who fr helps me

[snow yarrow]

It's done and so am I

[rare kraken]

Yes i finally got one out

[snow yarrow]

Feast your eyes upon these freshly lubed poms

[rare kraken]

But how do I put it back in tho

[harsh dove]

I can se you a video guide if you need, unless you got it

[rare kraken]

Those look like my switches

[harsh dove]

They just clip back in

[rare kraken]

Oh Alr

[harsh dove]

Just have to line them up and make sure wire is facing right direction

[rare kraken]

One more thing

[sacred elm]

yummy

[rare kraken]

I’m tryna make it silent

Is this good foam to put into the wooting

[harsh dove]

Is it soft?

Looks hard

[rare kraken]

A bit soft

[ionic breach]

compared to other foam?

its probably on the stiffer side

[rare kraken]

It feels like the wooting foam

[noble mason]

if you want a silent keyboard it’s mainly the switches that matter

[ionic breach]

u can try if u want, its not gunna break anything

[harsh dove]

Like as soft and flexy as the Wooting foam?

[ionic breach]

but i doubt it will do much

[rare kraken]

Not flexy but mid soft

It’s just not flexy

[stone flax]

💔 clean ur keyboard

[harsh dove]

Hmm, you could try but you’d be better off just using some standard case foam

[stone flax]

itll make less noise if there isnt cheetos dust

[rare kraken]

I’m tryna rn like chill

[noble mason]

clean your keyboard

[rare kraken]

My back hurts

[harsh dove]

It be like that sometimes

[rare kraken]

Bro there is crumbs all over my bed now

I hate doing this

[harsh dove]

Get a vacuum

[rare kraken]

And I gotta put this all back together

[harsh dove]

It’s easy

[rare kraken]

I got a Dyson

[harsh dove]

Use it

[snow yarrow]

Wtf 💀

[rare kraken]

Bro the plate is sticky and it’s hard to take the black things off

[sacred elm]

😭

[harsh dove]

Did you spill something on it?

[rare kraken]

Ye fruit punch and smth else

[noble mason]

sigh

[harsh dove]

You have any disinfectant wipes?

[rare kraken]

Ye

[harsh dove]

Try using some of those to clean the plate

[little glen]

why are you doing this on your bed

pls do this on a table and save your back

itll also make it easier

[rare kraken]

Too late I need one more black thing

Now what

Done and bro see the sticky stuff

Is this is too thick

[harsh dove]

Awesome, now wipe it down with those disinfectant wipes or warm water and soap

And then dry it

[rare kraken]

But it’s electric right

That’s what makes it 0.1

[little glen]

not the switches or the circuit board

just the keycaps

and make sure everything is properly dry and does not drip water before putting things back together

[visual ore]

Wait is that foam anti static?

[rare kraken]

Idk

It came with my moza r5

Bundle thingy

[harsh dove]

Way too thick

[rare kraken]

I found better foam

Is to is too thick still

[visual ore]

Yes

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[rare kraken]

Bruh

[visual ore]

You need like 3mm max

[harsh dove]

The case foam you have in there is already enough

[rare kraken]

The case is pretty dirty too

We putting that in the bucket?

[harsh dove]

Yes

[visual ore]

Wait you have case foam already

[rare kraken]

Ye

But people say you need a a lot of case foam for silence

[harsh dove]

You don’t need more case foam

[visual ore]

Uhhhhh

[rare kraken]

Oh Alr

[visual ore]

I think that isn't true for the most part

[harsh dove]

Yeah make sure everything gets dried properly

[visual ore]

If you want silent I recommend see if you can get some silent switches

[rare kraken]

Alr so all this goes into a bucket

[rare kraken]

I got some silent Mathew’s on aliexpress

[visual ore]

Oh nice!

[rare kraken]

Alr ima get the bucket ready

Wait so what do I put in the water idk what pcb and ipa is

[rare kraken]

I’m putting all this in the water

[visual ore]

Okay all the stuff with the text on it

DON'T put in water

[sacred elm]

dont put pcb in the water bro

[harsh dove]

Everything except the PCB

[rare kraken]

What’s the pcb is it the white plate

[visual ore]

The PCB is the super thin flat thing

[harsh dove]

The black plate with white icons on it is the PCB

[rare kraken]

Ohh

Alr

[visual ore]

The black flat board with the symbols on it

[sacred elm]

Yea I think you are just trolling at this point lmao

[harsh dove]

Has a usb port on the back

Don’t put that in the water

[visual ore]

I'm going to have a heart attack lol

[harsh dove]

Just wipe it down with a microfiber or paper towel, cloth, etc

[rare kraken]

Do I brush it off then put it into the water

[harsh dove]

Don’t put the PCB in the water at all

Just brush it off with a dry rag

[sacred elm]

I bet it wasnt

[rare kraken]

Alr and should I brush off the white board then put it in the water

Or just dunk it straight

[sacred elm]

If your pcb is sticky, clean it with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry

just dont put it in the water

[rare kraken]

Alr

[harsh dove]

Yeah you can brush off the white steel plate and then put it in the water

[rare kraken]

What if I don’t have alcohol

No

[stone flax]

what isnt dirty bro 💔

[rare kraken]

The black thing seems clean

Why would I go through all the trouble of taking everything out just to make a joke

I put the plate in

Is that blob normal

[snow yarrow]

Elaborate rage bait

[sacred elm]

💀

[harsh dove]

What blob bro

[rare kraken]

Bro the keycaps sound so nice when they go in the water

Its gone now

Wdym

Ima put some oplex shampoo it’s my sisters so pray I don’t get yelled at

[harsh dove]

You don’t need to use shampoo lol

Just some dish soap or hand soap is fine

[rare kraken]

I used all the dishsoap

Wwww

Yo this might get the wax off the keyboard too

Wdym

I thought I put it in for like 20 mins

Do I go in with a toothbrush

And manually wash everything including keycaps

I got new keycaps and switches coming in tho

Idc if the plate gets scratched or the keycaps

Alr ima hand wash all em with a brush

Wait

I got this

I got a scribe daddy

Scrub

I think the scrub daddy with the soap thing will be better

One side is soft other is hard

The scrub daddy is softer than the towel

With hot water it gets real soft

Like softer than keyboard foam

Bro some of the fruit punch won’t come off

There is like red dots

[cyan lark]

Alright I had to go away for a few minutes. Have you sandblasted/powerwashed that keyboard?

[rare kraken]

Almost

Look through the chat

Bro it’s like stained

[cyan lark]

Hey look you're doing it

Eh whatever that's just cosmetic

[tall hollow]

yeah its probably fungus

[cyan lark]

I was more worried about the hazardous materials you were harboring

I guess I dunno for sure, but it does looks like the plastic just got stained 🤷

[rare kraken]

Ye prob

It’s so clean now wow

I’m scared ima break the keyboard bro

I did not pour chips on it

Idek how the chips got through the keycaps

I got dawn power wash

Do I use my moms dyson blow dryer to dry it do I make super there is no water

[cyan lark]

Honestly I dunno how you have such a high food to hair ratio

[snow yarrow]

No way bro has mold in his keyboard right

[cyan lark]

Careful with a hair dryer, don't wanna warp or melt any plastic bits

[rare kraken]

I got a bunz

[rare kraken]

Cold setting

My hair was fried so I got a buzz

[cyan lark]

Sure you can if you want, or just leave stuff to dry in a drying rack for a day or two

[rare kraken]

Nah I gotta play Fortnite

[cyan lark]

I suspect you still have work to do. I can see so much food in your stabs, have you opened those up and cleaned/relubed them?

[rare kraken]

What’s a stab bro

[cyan lark]

The black things that look sorta like switches

Stabilizers

[rare kraken]

Oh ye

They got Doritos in it

[cyan lark]

Yeah the switches as well, most likely

[rare kraken]

No

Last time I lubed switches the whole keyboard stopped working

Never doing that again

[cyan lark]

Sure but... you have food in those switches most likely

[rare kraken]

But I mean it was i only a huntsman mini

[stone flax]

akko laserr

[rare kraken]

The shittiest keyboard off them all

[stone flax]

what the

[cyan lark]

You at least need to open them up and make sure the food is out of them. If you don't have lube I guess you can run them dry after they're clean.

[fluid ravine]

Yurrr

Want a sound test?

I can make one later

[rare kraken]

But I need the lube to make it silent no?

Or do I just dump them in water too

[cyan lark]

Ideally you'd clean all your switches and the relube them

[rare kraken]

When I was pouring the water it was like light brown guys

No lubing

[cyan lark]

But I'd say the priority is cleaning them. Lubing is a nice to have by comparison to things growing in there.

[rare kraken]

I use to but it’s in my closet somewhere

I have a full lubing Kit in my closet

[cyan lark]

I suppose it could be worse. I know the owner of this one:

Pretty sure you could clone them from what's in that board

[rare kraken]

That’s how my old keyboard use to look but less like that dirty

But it was close ngl

Ay guys

Ima clean my bed and start building this back up

[sacred elm]

🤮 😭 😭

[tawdry tree]

their pet(s) too probably 😂

[cyan lark]

Yes, there are many.

Now that I thought of it, I'll inflict the thought on you:

Just imagine dragging your tongue across one of those gutters

[tawdry tree]

that was unnecessary

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/grogu-snack-time-the-mandalorian-gif-9327718473316732986

[tawdry tree]

and mean

😭😭

[sacred elm]

😭 🤮

[stone flax]

harvest the blues on those

fire board

[tawdry tree]

they are buried brother

[rare kraken]

Yo can someone watch me build back this keyboard im scared ima do smth wrong

[tawdry tree]

ask tiktok

start a stream there

they’ll help

[rare kraken]

I don’t got clout like that

[stone flax]

start streaming on twitch

[rare kraken]

Bro I walked in my moms room to try and steal the dison blow dryer and she was on her bed

But she ain’t yell

[rare kraken]

But I ain’t got a web came

[rare kraken]

Yo how do I clean this

[harsh dove]

Well you don't have lube you said so, just remove any chips and food you can

[rare kraken]

But how

I don’t got tweezers

[harsh dove]

Honestly man, that'd pretty bad so I'd say take the time to clean them and buy some lube

Like that stuff is IN there

[rare kraken]

But I can’t lube

Wait

My line kit came with lube but

This what my closet lookin like

My walk in closet is ruined

[harsh dove]

https://youtu.be/WN_-GYLTfpY?si=Zj4eaS1wahfVWZos

[rare kraken]

That was the vid I watched before and my switches all broke

But I did it my own way

Uh ye

I can’t find my lube kit in there

But I need lube

Ye

It comes with the black things

Silent Mathew’s

From my old keyboard

I got these

Wdym

Do i just pick it out

Or go no lube

But my keyboard going sound ass

[harsh dove]

at least it'll be clean

you can get lube and fix the sound

[rare kraken]

But I’m traumatized bc of that lube

And I can’t even find lube in that closet

[harsh dove]

Well you're gonna have to find it if you want to clean your stabilizers and retune them

or buy more

[rare kraken]

Prob buy

Ate u sure it’s too dirty

[harsh dove]

It's pretty dirty bro

that lube is contaminated

[rare kraken]

What

That’s possible

[harsh dove]

These are better

but the black ones you showed are very dirty

[rare kraken]

So do I switche the black ones for the white ones

[harsh dove]

If you want too yeah

[fluid ravine]

Someone give me a passage

Ima do a sound test

[rare kraken]

This is side by side

[uneven cradle]

Those stabs need jesus

[harsh dove]

white ones got some crust on em but way cleaner than the black ones

[rare kraken]

Finally done drying the keycaps

Ahhh

[harsh dove]

If you don't wanna deal with this again, stop eating near your keyboard, either unplug it and put it away while you eat or don't eat at desk at all

[rare kraken]

So much to do

[rare kraken]

But I like eating while playing fortnite

Or r6

Which side I put switches

[harsh dove]

Then expect to have to clean it again like this lol

[rare kraken]

And do I put the black thing on it first then put switches it

In

[harsh dove]

Screw the white steel plate back onto the PCB

[fluid ravine]

[harsh dove]

and don't forget the foam pad you were using inbetween

[fluid ravine]

Sounds meh, can't expect much

[royal wave]

WHY ARE THEY CRUSTY

[harsh dove]

So PCB > Foam > Steel plate

[royal wave]

WHAT DID YOU DO

[royal wave]

Sounds good to me, a lil loud maybe, but your mic is picking up quite a lot

[fluid ravine]

Akko Laser
Mystery PCB (from KBD fans)
Mystery GH60 PC Case (From KBDfans)
Gateron Yellows
Alu plate
Poron Case foam
Durock V2 stabs

[fluid ravine]

Yeah I'm at a "party" with the Asian UNC's

[royal wave]

Aaa

[fluid ravine]

At my cousins house

So this whole setup shi ain't mine

Decided to be goodo cousin and clean up his shit while he's away

[rare kraken]

Um the foam ain’t lining up

[tawdry tree]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1350973638832165036 @kind helm that 0.3mm number strikes once again..

[harsh dove]

try flipping it around

[fluid ravine]

That's the correct way

Should put it on the plate though

[harsh dove]

and yeah that is correct

there's gaps for the stabilizers

[rare kraken]

Like this

[harsh dove]

and now install the stabilizers

[rare kraken]

Do I screw the black to in gin

[harsh dove]

Yes

[rare kraken]

Thing in

[harsh dove]

Should be a total of 8 screws

[fluid ravine]

WAIT

The foam is sticking out

Soacebar

Space bar section

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah, fix the foam

[fluid ravine]

You didn't align the foam with the standoffs

[rare kraken]

Huh

[fluid ravine]

It's better to have the foam installed onto the back of the plate

Then have the pcb installed right on too

So right nos

[rare kraken]

Huh

[harsh dove]

foam sticking out

[fluid ravine]

Take the assembly

Put the plate side facing down

On your table

Seperate the pcb from the foam and plate

Once you do that align the foam and make sure everything is perfect

[rare kraken]

Uhh

[fluid ravine]

Once it is then put the pcb back on

[fluid ravine]

..

Did you just rip that shit out..

[rare kraken]

Nah when I got this it had 2 of them

And I always came out like this

But idk

[fluid ravine]

[harsh dove]

Idk either

[rare kraken]

I’m pretty sure I got the foam off Amazon

[harsh dove]

but make sure the foam is aligned

and over the standoffs

and screw it in

[rare kraken]

Ima just take the price out

[sweet oak]

hello baldson

[fluid ravine]

Hi Mango :)

[sweet oak]

how is the creamy journey going

[fluid ravine]

Creaming

[rare kraken]

Yo finally someone knows what a creamy keyboard is

[sweet oak]

https://tenor.com/view/that-is-so-rich-and-creamy-jill-dalton-the-whole-food-plant-based-cooking-show-the-flavor-is-truly-rich-it's-really-creamy-gif-14792860270513313022

[sacred elm]

hello deer

[fluid ravine]

That's not what he meant-

[rare kraken]

Oh

[sweet oak]

https://tenor.com/view/deer-fat-face-deer-funny-looking-deer-gif-8834458079555444425

[rare kraken]

I def broke the entire keyboard

What now

I got my tape mod

Ima add more layers but I need tape

[harsh dove]

how is it broken?

and you said you wanted silent, don't do tape mod

[rare kraken]

But tape mod makes silent

But less hollow

[harsh dove]

Not really

[rare kraken]

Huh

[harsh dove]

He has plate mount

[rare kraken]

Also what’s the difference with 60HE and 60HE+

[harsh dove]

60HE+ offers PCB mount stabilizer option

[rare kraken]

What’s that

And I got no stabilizer

[harsh dove]

Where they connect to the PCB instead of the plate like yours

Yours are Plate Mount Stabilizers

[rare kraken]

I still don’t know but cool

So I take tape off

YOOO W

It matches too

Which side do switches go

I heard you could but the rgb wrong

[stone flax]

Not really

[thorn zealot]

guys what did i miss

saw someone was cleaning their kb for their first time in their life!

[rare kraken]

I got bullied into cleaning my entire keyboard

[stone flax]

Its clean

[rare kraken]

Which side is the rgb

[stone flax]

Up

North

Top

[rare kraken]

Like this

[harsh dove]

yes

[rare kraken]

Bro how I make it silent I thought tape makes it silent

[harsh dove]

Put foam in the bottom of the case and inbetween the plate and PCB

[cyan lark]

I promise this was for your health

[harsh dove]

and get silent switches

Don't do tape mod if you want silent

Makes it poppy

[rare kraken]

I use to put lube on top of the switches and in the keycaps is that bad

[harsh dove]

Yes

don't do that

[stone flax]

Yes

how old are you

[rare kraken]

13

[stone flax]

makes sense

[harsh dove]

TTC KOMs have 21mm 45g springs, Woot KOMs have 20mm 55g springs

[thorn zealot]

who told u to do that

[rare kraken]

It’s my own way to lube fast

It broke my entire huntsman mini

[thorn zealot]

i wonder why

[rare kraken]

But atleast now I got wooting

[thorn zealot]

its the wrong way

[rare kraken]

Best keyboard better than apex pro mini too bc the support good

[sacred elm]

Short springs have slow rebound

yes

even slower if they are light

Yes.

[stone flax]

here we are again with people who dont understand how springs work bringing up wikipedia

first it was turingtest and now this

💔

[sacred elm]

You can feel it, that rebound is slow of short and light springs

Compare woot poms and L45

L45 are hella slow

[rare kraken]

WWWWWWW

[harsh dove]

TTC KOMs are like 37 - 45 iirc and Woot KOMs are 40 - 55g

[sacred elm]

35/45 - OG POMs
40/55 - Woot POMs

[stone flax]

i truly wonderr how those stabs sound now

im sure its wondderful

[sacred elm]

woot version is 40 initial

[rare kraken]

I wanna make this less hollow

[harsh dove]

yeah

[rare kraken]

sadasdawdasdadasdawdsadawdasdasdaawdasdsadawasdawdsdaxzzxzxxxzzxxzVVVVVdsfdss

[thorn zealot]

can u now pls stop eating at ur desk and clean once a month

[rare kraken]

it works guys

[rare kraken]

alr

[stone flax]

why does he even want to fill the keyboard to the brim with foam

[rare kraken]

Silent

[stone flax]

not how physics works but sure

[thorn zealot]

"more foam = quieter!"

[rare kraken]

What Patrick said

[stone flax]

if u fill the cavity the entire way through and have it dense, where can the sound be absorbed/lost?

itll just be reflected back?

tf

[thorn zealot]

what i said is not true

[rare kraken]

Ok nerd

[rare kraken]

Oh

[stone flax]

ok cheeto eating fungus growing gamer

[thorn zealot]

knowing basic physics = nerd

[stone flax]

😭

[rare kraken]

lol

[stone flax]

hes 13 let him be

probably watches hipyotech

[rare kraken]

I hate him with a passion

[stone flax]

and yet u fill the board with foam and attempt tape mod without knowing what they do

[thorn zealot]

no he watches creamy kb tiktoks

[rare kraken]

His face grosses me out so I can’t watch him

And that Asian girl he collabs with

[rare kraken]

Ye

That’s where I learn most my stuff

[thorn zealot]

not the best place to learn stuff from

[stone flax]

https://www.theremingoat.com/blog/what-the-thock-is-clack-a-discussion-on-switch-sound

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWZ6L_T9ZTY

look at these two things to undo years of brainwashing

[rare kraken]

Wait the keyboard fr sounds better

No shot

[thorn zealot]

im not surprised

[rare kraken]

The space bar sounds so much better

Omg thank yall

[thorn zealot]

i would rather have rattly spacebar then dorito crunch spacebar

[stone flax]

i wonder if theres ticking lol

[harsh dove]

See

[thorn zealot]

no thank u for

[harsh dove]

was worth cleaning

[rare kraken]

You could hear Doritos crushing ngl

Now I don’t

[kind helm]

tldr?

[rare kraken]

And it’s more silent without the tape

[harsh dove]

I told ya

[rare kraken]

Can’t wait for my switches

[kind helm]

Use code ‘GOAT’ (or click the link above) for 5% off your order when you check them out!

[stone flax]

onamotapoeias like thock clack and creamy are dogshit, sound tests are a lie; no one will ever know how your board will sound like until they type on it in your room

[kind helm]

thanks

[harsh dove]

Nah everyone knows how my boards sound

[thorn zealot]

they sound good

[stone flax]

i think the saddest part about how accessible sound is a brainrot gateway is that it leads to people completely neglecting the two other important factors: looks, and feel

all because how a board will look and feel doesnt scratch their brain the way heavily edited sound tests do

[kind helm]

nah all your board sound good, i refuse to believe, must be acoustic voodoo magic

ain no way

[stone flax]

theory crafting for sound is hilarious and all but then you ask them the first about how they want the keyboard to feel and its fully blank

[cyan lark]

Grats on the clean board!

[harsh dove]

[rare kraken]

Ooo I can’t wait

[harsh dove]

Good effort yall

We did it

As a team

[rare kraken]

Ima do sound test after I put all keycaps on

Took like 2 hours

The space bar sounds better than the normal keys uh

[cyan lark]

Well, your switches may still have things in them

[sacred elm]

@calm pulsar

[rare kraken]

Oh they do

[sacred elm]

you in few months

[harsh dove]

Where’s the PSP drawer

[kind helm]

i threw away all the disks my unc gave me when i moved

[rare kraken]

Peak

[kind helm]

a bunch of old ass pc games i can just download

[sacred elm]

I still have them lol
