@glacial wind are they on ali or not yet

[quiet ginkgo]

Not sure if you're asking me but Ill need to look into what sounds best (in my opinon) on that kbdfans case

for switches

[glacial wind]

nah not yet, still very new

[stone flax]

woooooooooot

I did some sound tests in that case for raw he and duhuk

Keep in mind 2 of the 3 have tape mod

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

These sound tests are without tapemod still in that case

One without poly fill too

[polar girder]

Nice

Tempted to cop Kukri vanilla from Huntsman

😅

[stray tiger]

I like the kukri's honestly

[trail bane]

@quasi hinge yesterday

[polar girder]

Less emo but still nice

[tropic urchin]

!hide 3000

[stray tiger]

Yeah but that rare animation is mmm

[marsh saffron]

Your hud boundaries are killing me

[fluid ravine]

Leggeras have been departed

[stray tiger]

I think its just the inspect server being garbage right now

[marsh saffron]

Ah

[polar girder]

Nah it’s my HUD boundaries lol

[sacred elm]

flip knife on top

[polar girder]

Flip knife is nice but I don’t love it with these gloves

As a Vanilla enjoyer

[sacred elm]

skeleton vanilla mmmm

[polar girder]

Yeah but that’s double the price lol

[sacred elm]

flip vanilla is almost 400$ 💀 it was like 75-80$ years ago i remember

[polar girder]

lol yeah

[tropic urchin]

What the fuck

Hell nah chalk that pricing 😭

[sacred elm]

💀

[cyan lark]

Do CS item prices trend with the stock market? 🤔

[bronze wraith]

is the wooting webiste down?

[tropic urchin]

What on God’s green earth…..

[bronze wraith]

i cannot access it

[cyan lark]

It is up

[sacred elm]

Its not

[tropic urchin]

This shit is fucking luxury watch money 😭😭😭

Oh hell nah

[cyan lark]

Speaking from experience, I see

[bronze wraith]

even on mobile data i can't access it lmao

just ordered my keyboard

now it works

wow

[tropic urchin]

Csgo cosmetics is money laundering

I’ve seen enough

🤣

[sacred elm]

wouldnt you pay 200k for this?

[tropic urchin]

That shits in 1080p dawg 😭

I’ve seen cooler cosmetics in call of duty

[sacred elm]

get out

[tropic urchin]

And I don’t say that lightly

[sacred elm]

2m is like nothing

[tropic urchin]

Nobody buying that shit unless you live in Saudi Arabia or you’re Elon musk

[sacred elm]

💀 nah people are buying

i dont think for 2m but definitely paying 150-400k for items

[tropic urchin]

That’s actually wild

[quiet ginkgo]

can i only ask about wooting modding here

[tropic urchin]

I think all keeb modding is on the table here

[sacred elm]

We are talking about cs2 item prices, so def not only wooting

[tropic urchin]

Granted chat can vary a bit but

[quiet ginkgo]

ok so well i decided getting a custom wooting that looks cool in my eyes would be way too expensive so im fine with a normal custom mechanical keyboard

whats the biggest keyboard size % that has lots of custom cases?

cuz i saw on reddit that tkl apparently doesnt have many cases

but that may be outdated idk

[little glen]

Get a neo60 core

Boom done

[sacred elm]

how much was your 80he build?

[quiet ginkgo]

it ended at like 400 dollars lol

[little glen]

Lets see

Like 180 for module

140 for gt80

Switches 40 bucks

Leaves 40 bucks for keycaps

😭

[sacred elm]

@tropic urchin how much was your 80he ? 💀

[marsh saffron]

My 60he was nearly 900 cad if I include shipping and import fees

Maybe more

😭

[trail bane]

I will strive for it.

[tropic urchin]

No comment

[sacred elm]

Dont lie.

[tropic urchin]

It’s going to be skewed based off stuff I haven’t used

But still the end cost of current build will still be north of $400

[quiet ginkgo]

apparently discord didnt send my message but 60 is just too small, i've always been at 100% so lowest i could go is 70% if thats even a thing

is most custom kb stuff just 60% kbs or something?

[tropic urchin]

It’s definitely in range of the “wait you spent that much on a custom keyboard 🤓” crowd

[trail bane]

Just try:)

[marsh saffron]

I'm glad I was able to save some money on my keycaps

Deskhero the goats for Canada

[graceful fulcrum]

hi

[quiet ginkgo]

you need lots of money to "try" things this expensive

😭

[marsh saffron]

Saved me prob 60$ in import fees

[sacred elm]

@quiet ginkgo do you have 2he

[quiet ginkgo]

ye

[sacred elm]

sell it, add some money and build 80he

[quiet ginkgo]

so i bought it for 1000 in my currency, i could sell it for 700 but a fully built 80 would be like 2200

[trail bane]

If u want cheap 60% keeb, just get cidoo qk61(idk) or build your own version(use gmk61 base and mb akko switches)

[trail bane]

If you don’t want, buy 80HE

[quiet ginkgo]

yeah i think ill end up with the 80he... custom

[tropic urchin]

You could get a base kit 80HE and mod it once you get more fun money to play with it @quiet ginkgo

[sacred elm]

Yeah

[tropic urchin]

Very accessible imo

[quiet ginkgo]

how much diff is between barebones 80he and a full base one? (barebones but with the cable and daughterboard)

[sacred elm]

also at that time these switches will be available in your region probably and get them https://swagkeys.com/products/owlab-ti-he-switch?variant=46115894755581

[tropic urchin]

Could go for PCR case and RAW He switches to save some cost and then can take the daughterboard and put into GT80 case if that’s what you want

[sacred elm]

They are closed bottom raws and tighter

[tropic urchin]

DB and cable comes with both module and prebuilt

[tropic urchin]

Are these the duhuks I was promised

[sacred elm]

Raws on steroids

[tropic urchin]

Listened for about 5 secs and already sound better than most duhuk STs I’ve heard

[dapper halo]

How do these compare to the jades wooting sells?

[sacred elm]

Better

Jades are outdated

[tropic urchin]

Jades are outdated, Jade pros are kinda wobbly so they should be better

For top tier non boxstem switches

[dapper halo]

Damn I just bought jades when I ordered my 80he

Should’ve done some research smh

[tropic urchin]

You can send them an email and can subtract it if you want

[sacred elm]

Yea I wish they just remove them from store, so people dont get scammed paying 72$ for outdated switches

[dapper halo]

Orders already shipped I’m receiving tmo, just gunna hug it and upgrade later

To be fair they aren’t horrible

Better then what I’m currently using

[tropic urchin]

If you have nothing to compare them to, you should be fine

[sacred elm]

@dapper halo they are still fine, not bad. but 72$ for them is crazy

[dapper halo]

Yea that’s fair, my own damn fault haha

[tropic urchin]

The owlab duhuks should be cheap so if you wanna try later you should be fine

[dapper halo]

Yea I’m not too worried, I’ll just wait until I get bored of the jades

[sacred elm]

Not your fault tbh

[stone flax]

Heh

[tropic urchin]

The switch lore changes every few months so eventually you’ll be outdated no matter what by a certain point

[stone flax]

poms will be outdated soon enough

[sacred elm]

nice

[stone flax]

good riddance

[cyan lark]

Good thing POMs are classy for life

[sacred elm]

sadly duhuks are already outdated, its been 6 days

💀

[stone flax]

L bait

ur poms wont matter soon

[sacred elm]

😂

[stone flax]

Then its 90 cents a switch for worse performance

[sacred elm]

rent free

[stone flax]

im a real trendsetter my fans copying me 💔

[polar girder]

You wish

L bait is right

[stone flax]

heh…

[kind helm]

wait is this real?

or its just memeing

[stray tiger]

The good thing is, people are starting to realize there is no "best switch". Hopefully soon it'll be like MX where there is only "best switch for me". Lot's of good switch options out there now and more coming soon!

[kind helm]

is there overpriced switches?

nvm nvm i am just trolling i just woke up hehe

[tropic urchin]

Nice to have some contenders since it can get lonely at the top

[stone flax]

I mean, there are still no good full travel switches

[chilly mural]

Checked it, mostly correct

[stone flax]

The best are literally just hejins or smth slightly better

[chilly mural]

DK about cs2 tho

[quiet ginkgo]

whats the best keycap type/material for a good deep thock

[stone flax]

pbt

thick

1.7mm+

[kind helm]

havent looked at csgo skin for a long time

i will feel sad if i know keeping my skin for even longer will make me more money

[quiet ginkgo]

whats a good keycap site for europeans

[kind helm]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[quiet ginkgo]

im gonna look on that site list josh sent anyway (rn looking at kbdfans) but if any of you know a keycap set with 2 shades of a good not too light purple and a darker purple that would be great

[polar girder]

Actual lol

[little glen]

Depends how much you want to spend

[glacial wind]

i'd say osume dusk, but i think they're sold out right now

[little glen]

[stone flax]

Kkb helleborous

exactly how dark tho

[little glen]

Lots of gmk sets

But $$$

[glacial wind]

oh right there's that domikey set too

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007609093244.html

quite reasonably priced, especially if you throw in one of the sitewide coupons right now for their sale

[cyan lark]

Missed this, is it real? Genuinely curious about any potential correlation

[quiet ginkgo]

oh wow those are perfect

but jesus christ the price !

its fine tho

[little glen]

Luxury goods (skins for example) usually do fine during recessions

[quiet ginkgo]

wtf thats what i have right now but they're aliexpress copies that costed me only like 10 bucks lmao

[little glen]

They are not coupled to the stock market in any way and there‘s probably some interest from new players and speculators driving up prices

[quiet ginkgo]

i didnt know they come from a real set

[cyan lark]

I suppose that does make sense. Prices insensitive folks won’t be deterred by a 10% loss

[glacial wind]

pokemon cards, the true recession proof product apparently

[little glen]

Take a look around that online shop they have a lot of good looking expensive caps

[quiet ginkgo]

@stone flax wait but im not buying like this month am i ever gonna see these again after they're out of stock?

[little glen]

What keyboard is this

[quiet ginkgo]

https://unikeyboards.com/en-ro/products/keykobo-helleborus-keycap-sets?variant=49592430592318

its keycaps

[little glen]

Ah

[stone flax]

If it gets good reception they will run a second round

[little glen]

Honestly they look pretty good

[stone flax]

But dont count on it

[marsh saffron]

These don't look cheap...

[little glen]

Because they are not

🙂

[quiet ginkgo]

if you like this kind of color scheme can i message you again when i eventually have money and maybe you know something similar? or did you just happen to know this specific one is dark purple

[stone flax]

Fs

[glacial wind]

honestly sub $100 not the worst for gmk

[marsh saffron]

On sale rn tho

[little glen]

If you want a set buy it now cause you dont know if you can get it later

[tropic urchin]

I fw those purples

[marsh saffron]

They like 180 cad off sale

[marsh saffron]

Not as bad as I thought tbh

[cyan lark]

Someone on here gonna buy them out while you consider 😆

[tropic urchin]

Nothing labeled GMK is ever cheap

[marsh saffron]

Ain't that the truth

[cyan lark]

Not pressuring, don’t spend money you do not have

[kind helm]

got my set for 50 dolla

[tropic urchin]

Jelly

Great price tho

[cyan lark]

Did you dupe someone?

[stone flax]

@calm pulsar duhuks are bubbly

[kind helm]

patience and not to be too particular :3

[marsh saffron]

Fucking sounds like it

[quiet ginkgo]

i mean i literally dont have enough money nor credit card to go into the negative so i cant get them right now either way

[tropic urchin]

Yeah being particular on your set will def up the cost

[marsh saffron]

I'm glad I got to buy xray

[kind helm]

nah clearance/holiday thing on novelkey

[marsh saffron]

Definitely worth the 160 cad to my eyes

[cyan lark]

Boss

[ruby elk]

Got this beauty built. Can't wait to swap pcb's

[tropic urchin]

Dig the color contrast

[marsh saffron]

These sorts of builds are so clean

[cyan lark]

Pretty!

[tropic urchin]

As a fellow keeb color contrast enjoyer

[marsh saffron]

Seen someone do a 60he w 3 diff pbtfans sets like that, was super clean

[kind helm]

what plate you using with duhuk btw unc mj

[ruby elk]

It's not cheap 😭

[marsh saffron]

I bet, how much did each set run you?

[stone flax]

Fr4

its fine

[ruby elk]

Lemme check lol

[kind helm]

have you tried pp with them

[stone flax]

Nope

Id want to

[ruby elk]

If I remember correctly nearly 300 😭😭😭

[glacial wind]

The 3 color fade always looks nice honestly. I’ve been resisting the urge to get dmk red bean which does that too

[kind helm]

i want to get a softer plate at some point but i am hesitating because i think only in rare situations i want to use a soft plate.

[ruby elk]

I use the everglide skylines, I hand lubed them and use 3 layers of tape for the PCB. With a PC plate

[marsh saffron]

Pain, looks so clean but pain

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-dark-kermit-gif-13921433

[cyan lark]

Was it that much cause of three different sets?

[ruby elk]

That's America's keybaord

[stone flax]

@kind helm im putting foam in my keyboard

@calm pulsar

[kind helm]

HE BEEN DOING IT ALREADYH

[stone flax]

@fluid ravine

[kind helm]

[stone flax]

this is a momentous occasion

we will be trying foam

[fluid ravine]

WHAT WHAT

WHAAAAT

[glacial wind]

No no, I need to spend my hard earned money on overpriced Sony full frame lenses

[stone flax]

its time

[fluid ravine]

WHAT TIME IS IT

[chilly mural]

Yesss, bring the world into your frame

[tropic urchin]

Photography is so 2005, you need those keycaps

[fluid ravine]

I'm abt to transition to my last class of the day

[tropic urchin]

Hell maybe those Sony lenses will be put on discount by the time you get the chance to cop again hehe

[glacial wind]

I wish, even on discount they’re like $2k each lol

[kind helm]

wait is it because your pp is only for wooting pcb?!

[glacial wind]

And cheapie chinese key light needs to go honestly, it was fine for streaming but time to invest in a proper cob light and softbox

[tropic urchin]

wtf

That’s horrid

[glacial wind]

That’s just cameras. Everything is expensive in film and photo world

[cyan lark]

Once you get your lenses figured out you’ll have to step it up to an even more expensive hobby. Watches? Boats?

[tropic urchin]

Fuck that ish

[glacial wind]

Boats are great way to waste money I heard

[tropic urchin]

Greatest times you’ll have with your boat is the day you buy and sell it hehe

Or so I’m told

[stray tiger]

It's 100% true

[cyan lark]

Other people’s boats is where it’s at

[stray tiger]

That's how I feel about swimming pools

[glacial wind]

I used to snowboard with a guy who worked on a billionaires yacht full time as mechanic. The man got almost 6 figures with no taxes, full food and board and bought his own house in his 20s

Seems employing 20 of those guys to run your boat all the time is great way to spend money

[cyan lark]

Gotta show my missus this. She’s been wanting one for years and keeps eyeing me when I get some extra cash on hand. I fear the new forever maintenance.

[tropic urchin]

Mans found the loophole in life

[stray tiger]

Never again will I have a pool installed. Especially in an area where you have to winterize it.

[stone flax]

@kind helm

case foam in

uhhhh

[cyan lark]

Yep and I would. Thanks for confirming my fears.

[stone flax]

it didnt really change much

[glacial wind]

Honestly any yacht work for rich people is great money for people in 20s. He said even the waitresses retired young. Downside is you have no long term social life due to living in a yacht

[stone flax]

just less resonance

i guess that helped the space bar a bit

[kind helm]

https://tenor.com/view/the-universe-tim-and-eric-mind-blown-mind-blown-meme-mind-explosion-mind-explosion-meme-gif-18002878

[stone flax]

it didnt make my keyboard thocky

💔

terrible

time to do 19 layers of tape mod

[kind helm]

alright bro now i see you are still relatively sane

[cyan lark]

The closer you are to money the easier it finds its way into your hands

[tropic urchin]

Some ppl already have that for $0, decent way to make some cash and gtfo with a nice little boost

[cyan lark]

I used to love working for rich ppl. All the work was hard but they paid well at least.

[glacial wind]

Yeah do that for a few years and make enough to deposit on a house is what a ton of folks in yacht work did

it’s not even stressful because they do like 2 months on 2 months off type of work

So half of their year is a mandatory paid holiday

[tropic urchin]

Bro

[glacial wind]

My friend was mind blown when he had to buy his own shaving razers in New Zealand and he asked me why it’s so expensive. Apparently he’d never bought them ever because all living tools was provided too

[tropic urchin]

Real shit

[glacial wind]

I think the yacht he worked on is gone now though, it was a Russian billionaire lol

Probably seized

Yeah I’ll probably ditch them. Thanks

[kind helm]

among all the maxxers your kind of maxxing is the kind i respect the most

[kind helm]

didnt feel any difference without them for my raws :3

[calm pulsar]

claxxers on top

Nah POMs are dated

Time to move on

New and better things in the horizon

[kind helm]

"know but cant say"

[tropic urchin]

Jade gaming on top

[harsh dove]

Nah POMs and Frankenstein Duhuks my fave switches for me right now

[polar girder]

Yeah horizon somewhere sometime

[calm pulsar]

MX board from Wooting

[harsh dove]

Yep

I’m boutta email Tom, I want 80HE pp plate

[kind helm]

the board gonna flop like a flag in the wind

[harsh dove]

Nah my sturdy gt80 and rawduk maxxing switches will hold it down

[tropic urchin]

GT80 best case

[harsh dove]

I’ll beat that PP till it’s hard and stiff

Wait-

[kind helm]

yes hold it down and beat it

[harsh dove]

I ain’t say that

[stone flax]

Franken duhuks?

[kind helm]

[stone flax]

Which

Stemswapped or?

[harsh dove]

Raw top and stem

[stone flax]

Raw top and stem?

[harsh dove]

With duhuk bottom

[stone flax]

Are duhuk and raw tops interchangable or nah

I guess thatd make tolerances worse tho

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[kind helm]

its pretty interesting, 3 people did it so far at least that i know of :3

[harsh dove]

Nah them feel about the same tbh

Like they feel as tight as stock Duhuks still

[ruby elk]

Claxxers rn probably

[harsh dove]

Says I have a package from DHL arriving today and I have no idea what it is

[thorn zealot]

???

Having too much pleasure with ur kb

[harsh dove]

Ignore that

Don’t mind me

Don’t worry I understand

[tropic urchin]

We don’t mind, but does your keyboard is the real question

[harsh dove]

Nah my keyboard likes it

[harsh dove]

Damn that's a crazy short

[high sphinx]

@harsh dove when u getting the leggera ? I am curious what ur opinion is about leggera vs og frog mini

[harsh dove]

Whenever @fluid ravine sends it to me

[high sphinx]

oh yeah i forgot u got it through him

[stone flax]

@harsh dove thank you

these duhraws sound so good

[harsh dove]

[little glen]

duhraws sound where

[kind helm]

there are 2 out there already

[little glen]

You know what

Maybe i‘ll try it out

[little glen]

I do have raws just sitting here

[stone flax]

ok

@harsh dove basically makes closed bottom raws

and like

duhuks without the weird upstroke

[little glen]

Its just duhuks with raw stem right

[harsh dove]

Yeah pretty much

[kind helm]

duhuk bottom do be interesting though

[stone flax]

yea

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s what I wanted mainly

Just remove weird upstroke

[stone flax]

any reason u chose raw top over duhuk?

[kind helm]

probably more that than closed bottom raw :3 to me

[little glen]

Duhuk bottom is so good

[harsh dove]

Aesthetics

[stone flax]

ahh okay

cuz iirc

the molds are identical?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[calm pulsar]

only bottom seems tighter

[stone flax]

is the materials also the same

between them

[harsh dove]

Materials same except bottom

[stone flax]

ya ik

[harsh dove]

Bottom Duhuk has glass fibers infused

[stone flax]

so the tops really are just identical

[little glen]

Maybe i‘ll use raw top cause its easier when swapping

[stone flax]

diff color

[little glen]

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[stone flax]

graingold wins again

[calm pulsar]

good idea

[harsh dove]

And I think Aligner said Duhuks has wider stem but I’d have to measure

Cause both top housing feel the same to me in terms of wobble with either stem

[stone flax]

Sounds so good

[harsh dove]

Duhkaw Stabilizers

[little glen]

Duhkawk tuah

Or something idk

[kind helm]

maybe its time for me to get 70 more raws

[little glen]

Why

[kind helm]

just for 70 more stems

[little glen]

Oh yeah how are the leftover frankenswitches

Weird bottom out and weird top?

[harsh dove]

Basically just RAWs with muted top

[stone flax]

yummy

alexotos switch on the left

😭

[little glen]

No

Thats the egg yolk switch

[harsh dove]

fr lol

[stray tiger]

Ill have mine tomorrow and can do a comparison for you

[harsh dove]

Yeah Tuan said he'd have mine tomorrow too

[harsh dove]

What keycaps you thinking of trying first?

on the Cream

[high sphinx]

Yeah and i would love to hear ur opinion also if u dont mind

[polar girder]

Free Range at that

[calm pulsar]

glad the weird top out has been fixed on dahooks

[harsh dove]

Them my cage free eggs

[night atlas]

What’re the switch parts you used tto make these

[harsh dove]

Owlabs Ti HE should do the same but don't have the Duhuk bottom out

[little glen]

Maybe i‘ll do this swap and give the leftovers to a friend

[little glen]

Owlabs ti he is this but with the best part missing got it

[harsh dove]

Basically lol

[calm pulsar]

oh that caramel color switch

nice

[harsh dove]

Yeah

Caramel/Blonde Coffee Switch

[stray tiger]

I'll probably start with Vior and see how it matches but Ive also got so many other choices like Boneyard, Chladni, Rubrehose, etc. Truth be told I might build the PC one first and I might be sending the Cream one to someone else to build

[harsh dove]

They call em Thock

[kind helm]

gotta make money

think they will be on divinikey at some point ?

[marsh saffron]

You gonna pick these up for testing?

[harsh dove]

Maybe

[harsh dove]

Oh yeah Boneyard would be sick or Chladni, tons of options really, Rubrehose too and oh okay, interesting lol, I am curious to see how the acrylic sounds fully built tho

[marsh saffron]

Looking forward to sound tests if you do 👍

[harsh dove]

Yeah myself and ThockFather got some on the way

[marsh saffron]

W

[harsh dove]

https://youtu.be/vXarhtxJHKY?si=Q-bVSAIFHGSLsetg this is Swagkeys own soundtest

[marsh saffron]

I'm not one of those TikTok "thock" chasers but would love some sort of alternative sounding switches that aren't just clack

[harsh dove]

This is using a Wooting and the new Owlabs case

[marsh saffron]

Damn those sound poppy

[night atlas]

Those owlab switches look interesting.Do those, the raws, and duhuks follow the same blueprint, but with diff materials and tolerances

They all kinda look samey to me, just different colors

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[calm pulsar]

can't do much with current pcb-switch structure I guess, but I wonder what they come up with in the future

[harsh dove]

Mostly same materials though

besides duhuks with infused bottom housing

[night atlas]

I see

[harsh dove]

but yeah they have tighter tolerances than RAWs

and fully closed bottom

instead of semi closed

[marsh saffron]

Would this make them louder than raws

Or how would it affect sound profile

[harsh dove]

Would say it makes them pop more cause the sound is reflecting back off the bottom instead of escaping thru the bottom

[marsh saffron]

I see

[stone flax]

RAEDS

[stone flax]

this is just rawtuahs

basically

but no fiberglass

[marsh saffron]

Yes raeds are cool

[stone flax]

never

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[marsh saffron]

Just wish they were full white

Full white raeds would be cool

[little glen]

Is that what we call em now

[vapid oracle]

@harsh dove are you still running these?

[harsh dove]

Nah not right now

[noble mason]

those sound a little thin.. maybe bc of the flex cut pcb?

[calm pulsar]

I kinda think it's the owlabs case

[noble mason]

could be both lol, flex cut pcbs sound pretty thin without tape mod

[calm pulsar]

oh wait you said flex cut pcb

yeah might be it

[noble mason]

yea i initially said plate mb

isnt flex cut pcb also kinda bad for hall effect?

[calm pulsar]

I don't think any bounciness and flex is bad for hall effect since the switch and sensor do not move in relation to each other

unless the flex is really strong to the point where your fingers physically don't feel in the correct place

[hollow smelt]

alright y’all, my new keycaps are gonna come tomorrow so i’ll redo my stabs then
does anyone know how much to use on tx ap long poles

like more or little or what’s a good way to tell

[noble mason]

you mean lube?

[hollow smelt]

oh, yes, sorry

[noble mason]

oh

i think just a thin layer on the stabs is fine, if it's too much it'll feel mushy

[hollow smelt]

yeah mine feel very resisted right now

[noble mason]

that's too much then

[hollow smelt]

i was told the molykote i used on the bars is not correct

[noble mason]

molykote?

[marsh saffron]

For fhe wires i don't skimp on dielectric grease, but for housings less is more

[noble mason]

what's that

[hollow smelt]

so i’ll do krytox and really try to get it right

[hollow smelt]

it’s a thicker grease

[hollow smelt]

i see i see

[noble mason]

dielectric grease is probably cheaper on the actual like bars

and yea lube the housings like you would a switch

meaning less is more on the housings

[hollow smelt]

the vids on yt show the wires having quite a lot, to the point it’s very visible

[calm pulsar]

I mean usually thicker lube/grease is recommended for the wires, so not sure why it is "not correct"

[hollow smelt]

i haven’t lubed switches

[stone flax]

little

[hollow smelt]

i had multiple people here tell me molykote wasn’t right bc they’re newer gen stabs x(

[stone flax]

dont use grease for tx ap

[stone flax]

its not that

tx just has fussy tolerances and is prone to overlubing

[hollow smelt]

oh i see

[calm pulsar]

I used krytox on housings and stem and some kind of grease on wires on my tx ap and had good experience, just don't overdo it Ig

[noble mason]

yea never overdo lube on anything

saves you money and just feels better usually

[hollow smelt]

i honestly thought i used very little

but i’ve never done it before that

[noble mason]

it's fine like if it bothers u just clean it off and try again

[hollow smelt]

yeah it’s just way too much resistance for my weak hands

[noble mason]

to be hoenst tho it's preference, some people dont mind it feeling more mushy

[hollow smelt]

the space bar is doable
the left shift like
pains me to use cuz games i play use it a ton

[noble mason]

ah well, just clean it and do a lighter layer

[hollow smelt]

i’ll certainly try

i’ll probably come back when i do it to get further input

[sacred elm]

THOCK 😭

i removed stock pet film on 80he, that thing stinks

[noble mason]

they dont sound very thock tbh

[noble mason]

what does it do ?

i heard it reflects the higher frequencies

[sacred elm]

its kinda preinstalled tape mod

yea

[noble mason]

tape mod reflects mid frequencies i believe

and some high but mostly mid

[sacred elm]

I think I prefer without it

[noble mason]

tape mod or pet film

[sacred elm]

stock pet film

[noble mason]

ah

yea i took that out of my board as well

[trail bane]

Pom yesterday

[sacred elm]

pom

[calm pulsar]

funny how this word is used when marketing keyboard products just to mean a good sound

and then a lot of people come here saying "I prefer thock sound" while all of them have a different idea about what thock is

[stone flax]

ti he's better than raws

but nothing still compares to bestagon

heh....

[sacred elm]

arent those switches literally anti "thock" lmao

[calm pulsar]

bestagon?

[stone flax]

🤫

[sacred elm]

they sound pretty nice

[noble mason]

true lol, i shouldve said they dont sound very deep

then again it looks like the board had minimal mods to make it deeper

[sacred elm]

listen

lekker v4, pure thock, no wobble

[noble mason]

i think the lekkers sound "deep" because of the open bottom

[sacred elm]

yea

[noble mason]

im sure if they had a close bottom they'd sound clacky

[calm pulsar]

pure chock

[marsh saffron]

Lekker v4 launches with 60he pro max 16k

[sacred elm]

chock

😭

[noble mason]

but i hate the feel of open bottom switches

[sacred elm]

same

they feel like membrane

[noble mason]

they really do

[sacred elm]

closed bottom on top

[noble mason]

couple that with spring ping membranes

[sacred elm]

I would try 3.8mm closed bottom tho

[noble mason]

neo lavenders lol

[sacred elm]

sorry

[noble mason]

?

[chilly mural]

Chalk

Actually, i wonder how chocolate sound

[sacred elm]

arent they kinda outdated

[calm pulsar]

they were around the time when normal jades were relevant

[noble mason]

heard they're similar to og jades in terms of wobble. i think that's the only thing that would be outdated

[glossy pagoda]

The switch meta changes faster than some people in here change their underwear

[polar girder]

lol fr

[noble mason]

i wish it was faster. all he switches are pc top nylon bottom pom stem

[polar girder]

Just buy a top tier switch and forget about it for 6 months to a year

[tidal frigate]

Well wooting owners can afford only underwear because they spend entire money on wooting

[polar girder]

Or buy them all every month

[polar girder]

Wooting Duhuk when??

[glacial wind]

Not true. Some here change underwear 2-3 times a day to stay fresh at all times

[polar girder]

Jk jk

[polar girder]

Weird flex but ok

[harsh dove]

Yep I do

Just changed em earlier for the 2nd time today

[sacred elm]

lmao

[glacial wind]

Duhuks definitely had quite a short trendy period though compared to the others we’ve seen in the past lol

[sacred elm]

#🔧│keyboard_modding

[polar girder]

Y’all must be dirty af to have to change that often

[tidal frigate]

What do you do to switch underwear so much?

[glossy pagoda]

Swampy switches > swamp ass, confirmed

[sacred elm]

🤣

[calm pulsar]

ayo

[glacial wind]

They were the cool non box stem for what a month or so? And now seemingly owlabs is coming in to replace that spot

[sacred elm]

owlabs on top

[harsh dove]

No it’s to prevent becoming too dirty

[sacred elm]

after poms

[harsh dove]

Nah Duhuk bottom out better

[glacial wind]

The funny thing is owlabs have been out for awhile too, but it’s taken awhile for non Korean vendors to have them

[tidal frigate]

So you got like 21 underwear?

[sacred elm]

sno did you order them

[harsh dove]

Why you counting my underwear bro

[glacial wind]

Nah, I might later but I’ve been busy with stuff so need to finish up website and finishing rehabbing my golf elbow before I start buying more switches lol

[sacred elm]

I think jakubix wants to know everything about wooting employees, including number of underwears

kinda weird

[noble mason]

they dont feel right imo even if the sound is fine

[tidal frigate]

Thats too much underwear tbh

[noble mason]

having no bottom out has so tactility when typing

[tidal frigate]

Cam is not wooting employee

[harsh dove]

^

[sacred elm]

and mods*

fine

[harsh dove]

I’m just Wooting test subject

Lab experiment

[calm pulsar]

Wooting grabs homeless people from the streets to conduct testing confirmed

[sacred elm]

💀

[polar girder]

Homeless drunks*

[tidal frigate]

I only gather info that leads to leaks or important information about products and software and firmware and who to ask and get info easly

[harsh dove]

Hmm so amount of underwear one owns leads to information about keyboards

[tidal frigate]

Well they have a lot of them in netherlands

[tidal frigate]

It does not

[harsh dove]

Oh?

[tidal frigate]

21 underwear is too much unless you have eveything colour coded to fit outfit

[sacred elm]

https://tenor.com/view/cringe-gif-24107071

[calm pulsar]

and you figured that out only after learning how much underwear each Wooting employee has

[glacial wind]

What if you wear 24 pairs of underwear at once and just tear out the used ones every hour

[tidal frigate]

No that would be weird

[tidal frigate]

Thats looks like what wooting keyboard owner would do

[glacial wind]

It’s like superman suiting up except you just tear off a layer of underwear

[calm pulsar]

but you'll have to tear out the ones on the inside then

which seems complicated

[glacial wind]

Don’t worry, I know some good Japanese disposable underwear you can wear in bulk

[tidal frigate]

[calm pulsar]

sounds like useful tech
im on 3rd year of working remotely, probably will need that once I become a complete vegetable

[glacial wind]

I unironically know friends who buy them and wear them when they travel lol

[high sphinx]

Are there fake krytox 205g0's ?

[sacred elm]

yea most of them are fake

cheap ones

[glacial wind]

Basically all of the lube on Ali is off brand krytox

[calm pulsar]

I think there's a krytox factory in china anyways, so likely the "fake" ones are just a bit dissolved to sell more for cheaper

[junior owl]

Anyone know what these little silicone pieces are? They came with my holy60

[high sphinx]

And with gpl 105g0 cause i got my gpl 105g0 from eloquent clicks

Yeah i have it and i used it to bag lube but i was wondering if there are also fake clones of the gpl105

[sacred elm]

not sure about that

there are fake 105 too but theyre still fine to use

[high sphinx]

Alrighty on the little bottle it sais gpl105 so i hope its not fake also paid good amount for it

[sacred elm]

olive oil on top

[high sphinx]

Welk i did some research and it seels like eloquent clicks is a thrustworthy seller here in eu

[charred venture]

Did i get my role yet?

nope

[high sphinx]

Yeah

[uneven cradle]

Hit refresh

[charred venture]

I did plenty of times but i will try again right now 🙂

How long til it updates, do you know by any chance?

[calm pulsar]

for me it was instant I think

[charred venture]

i will try unlink my discord and link it back up 🙂

[slender umbra]

Do I need electrical tape in order to tape mod Wooting 60HE

[charred venture]

Ye that worked!

[slender umbra]

or is it fine with regular painting tape

[sacred elm]

painting

dont use electrical

[slender umbra]

Okay cool

[charred venture]

why?

[marsh saffron]

I would not recommend this

[slender umbra]

I saw somebody said something about eletrical tapes on pcbs with batteries and afaik Wooting doesnt have one

[sacred elm]

its too sticky

can damage the pcb

[charred venture]

aa okey makes sense

[marsh saffron]

Unless you want a really greasy pcb

[harsh dove]

Also leaves residue

[slender umbra]

I see

[marsh saffron]

Electrical tape residue is a nightmare to clean

[slender umbra]

How many tape do people use?

Are we talking a thin layer all over or?

[marsh saffron]

When I ran tape mod 3 layers

[sacred elm]

i use none

[slender umbra]

I got recently got into modding and I'm experimenting a bit with different keycaps and foams, not sure if I should jump onto this friction pad thing also

I wonder if it actually will change much of the sound

[sacred elm]

5+ 😭

[marsh saffron]

I did gummy oring mount and it made a difference in terms of case pinging

[tawdry tree]

someone get the 12 layer tape mod guy

[marsh saffron]

Anything but traymount tbh

[slender umbra]

I was shocked with just changing the case itself

from the standard plastic one to Alumaze60

[sacred elm]

9 layers!!

[rare kraken]

....

[tawdry tree]

LOL

[sacred elm]

💀

[sweet oak]

20 layers or else you’re throwing

[rare kraken]

so were exposing me

[sacred elm]

🤣

[marsh saffron]

😭

No kilmat no thock !!!

[rare kraken]

i stopped using a case for like 2 weeks bc of the tape layers

[sweet oak]

You kept adding to the pile?

How tall is it now

[marsh saffron]

Just make a case from tape🤯

[rare kraken]

i took all of it out bc peoiple said it makes your keyboard laouder

and my case would not fit

[sacred elm]

🤣

[sweet oak]

Dont believe them

Tape to your hearts content little soldier

[rare kraken]

oh alr

[high sphinx]

Yo guys do you know gmk blot ? It looks super cool imo

[calm pulsar]

nice red set

I got a similar one recently

[calm pulsar]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[high sphinx]

I wish i had gmk blot with noveltors i hope i can get them somewhere

Yeah keykobo cherries look good also but i am a viking fan so i like the symbols on all the caps it loos super good imo

Omw home, can't wait to touch my Rawhukies

Duhrawkys

[calm pulsar]

rawdooks

[kind helm]

i would never have known people can be so stupid without the internet.

do you think its possible that duhuk bottom can work with jade pro top

i am willing to scarify those

[tropic urchin]

Survival instincts 0/10 hehe

[kind helm]

more like -10/10, like if 0 is clueless -10 is falling in love for someone who killed and mentally ill

[tropic urchin]

Can’t argue with that scale lol

[calm pulsar]

I believe jade stuff wasn't very compatible with raw stuff

last time we tried

[tropic urchin]

World second where I agree with Josh, 2025 is the year of progress @kind helm

[kind helm]

yea thats why i havent bothered

[fluid ravine]

I'M HOME

Ahh one more day

And the time will come

[kind helm]

delay incoming, and thockfather steals the first live stream of it

[fluid ravine]

HEY

I mean-

I got volleyball game and I can't even play soo

By chance they could deliver it early in the morning like they did last time with my venom

[calm pulsar]

geon should deliver the first couple of leggeras like gabe newell delivered steam decks

[kind helm]

the two times i got stuff through dhl their deliveries were on time so hopefully that pattern stays

[thorn zealot]

Why’s everyone’s frog comin tmr

Besides mine

[fluid ravine]

LOL

[kind helm]

what about that drunken homeless man who lives in the mountains

[uneven cradle]

My estimate is still Friday

[kind helm]

i dont think his is coming in fast as well

[thorn zealot]

With my luck he will get it before me

[calm pulsar]

so Tuan is asian and so is Geon, maybe he hooks his bros up first

[fluid ravine]

[thorn zealot]

I’m the same Asian as Tuan

[fluid ravine]

Hehe

[kind helm]

wait what kind of asian is bald boi

[calm pulsar]

ah my theory isn't working then

[tropic urchin]

What if you’re Caucasian

[kind helm]

wait so essentially no update yet?

LOL

[thorn zealot]

Yes

Love it

I realllllly do

Even my stabs aren’t here

Even though they said today

[kind helm]

all good, still need the case anyway hehe

[thorn zealot]

They haven’t even left the origin facility

[kind helm]

i think bigsly had a situation where the order was simply not updated

hopefully it is that instead :3

[fluid ravine]

yeah same here last time

[thorn zealot]

Even my orings won’t ship

Cannonkeys is like 30min from me

[fluid ravine]

just pick it up yknow

[tropic urchin]

Oooh a fellow masshole

[kind helm]

yea i was gonna say i thought cannonkey is around there

[thorn zealot]

I even spent +2 shipping for 1 day shipping

[calm pulsar]

they are procrastinating cause he's close anyways

[kind helm]

this set looks so good to me, but sadly it would probably make me hungry all the time

[calm pulsar]

edible

[chilly mural]

lick

Def going for sushi next month

[tropic urchin]

Nah you gotta get it Josh

[kind helm]

straight up looks like sushi on a plate here

[tropic urchin]

I’ll even lend you my artisan

maybe

[calm pulsar]

I like the look of that case

[kind helm]

think its a 6u spacebar

[calm pulsar]

yeah it's real hhkb layout

but it's not topre I think cause they use diff keycaps

[marsh saffron]

Clean

Need a seaweed colored case

[marsh saffron]

Would go hard w thst

[fluid ravine]

need more biege keycap sets

[kind helm]

[fluid ravine]

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIT

[calm pulsar]

I can confirm kkb sound like gmk, but have a bit smoother texture

[fluid ravine]

i mean want*

want

[calm pulsar]

and the legends are crisp like gmk

[kind helm]

texture a bit different yee

[fluid ravine]

wait i forgot what board this is

[kind helm]

bald boi did you relube the switch when you do the franken

[fluid ravine]

nah

[calm pulsar]

enjoying my kkb a lot

[sweet oak]

spicy

[fluid ravine]

dry bottom housing

lubed springs

[kind helm]

my understanding is that both switches have good lube other than spring and i have good lube on spring :3

[fluid ravine]

stem is already lubed from my previous raws

[calm pulsar]

@sweet oak don't you dare eat it

[fluid ravine]

and duhuk tops ar alrady lubed

[sweet oak]

[kind helm]

i think if i get 70 more raws i will just be swapping the top and thats it

[fluid ravine]

honestly idk why but raw tops sound different than my duhuks

my duhuks mutes more of the top out,

wait no actually it sounds more cleaner

not mutes

[fluid ravine]

Encore*

i mixed it up with envoy

whoops

[kind helm]

in terms of travel distance it becomes 3.4mm right because of the raw stem?

[fluid ravine]

yeah i think so

[kind helm]

didnt you and cam have a secret discussion about which is better

[night atlas]

anyone feel that "wobbly" sound quality from the duhuks? not talking about stem wobble, but the sound is reminiscent of when someone shakes a metal sheet

feel/hear*

[fluid ravine]

for him it was the same

for me it was different

it could be the lube job idk

[kind helm]

you do be sensitive

[fluid ravine]

i prefer the looks of the rawhukies cus nixies

i am sensitive

shall i give em another try LOL

[kind helm]

i cant decide how you want to spend your time

[fluid ravine]

lol

nah actually nvm

ill do it another time

i got work to do

and i got home late cus of practice

[final geyser]

would lekker springs fit into haimu/mathews? i’d like to go silent switches but i prefer lighter springs

[austere creek]

check with the manufacturers of those if you wanna be 100% certain

our lekker spring dimensions are pinned in this channel

[noble mason]

is that an he pcb ?

[calm pulsar]

currently MX, but venom can have that layout too

[noble mason]

hmm

[harsh dove]

When I tested Raw top vs Duhuk top, they sounded different at first but then I made a couple more with duhuk top and raw top and some sounded the exact same to me

[calm pulsar]

this is HE

[fluid ravine]

Damn

You know what's funny, I'm starting to realize that

I just did a A key test between both

[harsh dove]

Just testing them in my fingers next to my ear with a keycap on top

[fluid ravine]

They sound the same now

[noble mason]

W symmetry

[fluid ravine]

I'm switching out the tops with hand lube raw tops

I think I was using stock tops which kinda sounds diff to me ig

[harsh dove]

True yeah, mine are hand lubed on both

from previously

I didn't relube when I swapped

[fluid ravine]

Yeah getting my batches mixed up rn

[harsh dove]

and still using dry geon pingless 62g

Didn't lube em lol

[magic walrus]

Jo how does holy60 sound compared to tofu60 redux? (Geon raws)

[urban mesa]

what is a good purple and blue themed key cap set?

[thorn zealot]

Holy sound more hollow and worse than redux to me

Although both are mid at best

[stone flax]

both ass

[polar sluice]

Hi guys - I know I'm super late to the meeting, but are there guides on here for modding the Wooting Two HE (or is it even possible)? I can't find any in the pinned stuff due to the 60 HE understandably having the spotlight.
Thank you!

[calm pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/feliz-cumpleaños-gif-12874928843178662714

[sacred elm]

Im not sure how can you mod 2he, except swapping the switches

[stone flax]

wdym by mod

[polar sluice]

Interesting, I thought that might be the case

[polar sluice]

I'm wholly new to the community so not really sure - the outcome I'm looking for is to seriously alter the sound profile

I don't want to change the switches though, if I can help it, as thats the only reason I bought a HE keyboard a few years ago.

[sacred elm]

swap switches

[tidal frigate]

If you are insane enough you can make your own case

[sacred elm]

youre not losing any features by swapping the switches btw

youre just swapping them with better ones

2he switches are VERY outdated

[calm pulsar]

to add to the convo, all compatible switches are magnetic, so all HE board features remain the same

[polar sluice]

Oh wow. I thought that all HE switches would be very similar in terms of actuation/performance.

[stone flax]

swap everything but switches then

manu your own case

swap caps

change internal dampening

conversely

swap switches

[stone flax]

Only reason u bought he board was particularly lekkers?
