[sacred elm]

There are many switch options and pretty much all of them have clacky sound profile

[stone flax]

You still retain HE functionality with toger switches

nah they kinda suck

[polar sluice]

Yeah tbh I don't care for the lekkers but would like to retain the functionality and performance benefits of HE

[sacred elm]

Lekker v1s blow, if you can swap them with geon raws for example. wooting sells them.

You are not losing any performance

https://wooting.io/product/geon-raw-he-switch

[calm pulsar]

imagine filling the whole 100% with POMs, the price would be crazy

[fluid ravine]

Coffee switches

Cheap3r and should be better

[sacred elm]

yea those are better but theyre only in korea rn

[fluid ravine]

Ali?

[sacred elm]

nope

[fluid ravine]

I thought cam ordered some

[thorn zealot]

from swagkeys

[fluid ravine]

Ohh

[high nymph]

Tape Mod on the Two HE is SEVERELY underrated!

[prime orbit]

Anything interesting come out

[thorn zealot]

ima convince myself that dhl/usps didnt update

and everything will come tmr

[high nymph]

You are losing 0.6mm of available travel/activation , to who it main concern. Just trying to be factual

[sacred elm]

thats not performance lose

[calm pulsar]

from the bottom end though, not from the top, so it's not slower or anything

[opal bridge]

🤢

[high nymph]

true that its not performance loss per-se, but it wanting to use analog, thats a catch

[noble mason]

it can still use analog inputs wym

it’s literally just different distance

[calm pulsar]

well it's fair that there will be less range of physical motion, but in terms of actuation range, it will calibrate itself

[high nymph]

yes, but with 15% resolution loss for full travel

[noble mason]

no lol

it calibrates itself

[high nymph]

yes, I now the board calibrates, but you still 15% of travel resolution

you only have 3.4mm instead of the full 4mm

[polar sluice]

All the information provided so far is very helpful, thanks for input everyone.
Are you guys using these keyboards as daily typers - putting all your mileage on them? Or do you have custom keyboards with certain sound profiles/typing feel for general use and swap to performance keyboards for playing video games/other performance-related activities?

[high nymph]

which keyb are you setting your eyes on? Two HE or 80HE is easily a daily driver. 60HE not so much, depending on the use case

[thorn zealot]

wym resolution

[high nymph]

you have less physical travel (3.4mm) instead of the full 4mm on the lekkers

[calm pulsar]

the analog steps just become closer together, which may be felt if you're really into analog input stuff

[high nymph]

exactly my point

[calm pulsar]

I'd just get gamepad tbh in this case

[high nymph]

blasphemy 😄

[noble mason]

it’s still preference thought it’s not objectively worse

[sacred elm]

Im just using my 80he, pretty happy how it sounds and performs

[high nymph]

objectively, from an analog perspective, it kinda is

[noble mason]

not really. that’s like FPS sensitivity. people will say low sens is objectively better while a pro can have double their sens and having more results than the low sens player

that’s why there’s no best sens, no best switch etc

[sacred elm]

You cant find any better "mod" than swapping switches marcel. lekker v1s are so bad literally any other switch will be massive improvement

[calm pulsar]

still I would find some benefit for analog applications in bigger range of motion on 4.0mm switches, but idc about them and also don't like how they feel and sound so its wtv to me

[quasi hinge]

80HE at home for gaming and non he lemokey p1 pro for office

[thorn zealot]

some ppl have sep kbs for sep things

[quasi hinge]

80he is my fav

[quasi hinge]

With ttc poms, its chefs kiss

[thorn zealot]

i think most here just use their wootings/other for everything

[sacred elm]

do you use stock pet film ?

[noble mason]

i don’t even have a wooting just an HE board bc i’m broke

[quasi hinge]

You mean the tape mod?

[sacred elm]

ye

[quasi hinge]

Forgive me

[sacred elm]

wdym

[quasi hinge]

Yes

[quasi hinge]

Im not 100% on the lingo haha

[sacred elm]

Ah, I just took it off today and kinda like it without

[calm pulsar]

it is fun trying to make HE as close to MX as possible, but now that I tried an MX build, I will probably just keep my HE board with POMs for pure gaming performance

[noble mason]

the ttc switches sound like a typewriter to me

[quasi hinge]

Mine was off for the whole time I had the raws in until I put the poms in

[thorn zealot]

yeah i want to make mx build with my leggera some day

i just dont know where to start looking for mx switches

[sacred elm]

they sound like louder raws

[polar sluice]

serious sound difference?

[sacred elm]

I like it

[sacred elm]

Yes

[quasi hinge]

Also stability etc, unless someone mentioned that

They also use better magnets

Ttc pom is the same as ttc rgb

[noble mason]

is that for wobble or like magnet performance

[quasi hinge]

Also spring is longer so the switch feels snappier

[quasi hinge]

Magnet performance I think?

[sacred elm]

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

[noble mason]

ah ok

[quasi hinge]

But the ttcs basically have no wobble

[thorn zealot]

i think its also stability too

[quasi hinge]

Only downside is they need to be hand lubed

[sacred elm]

ttc has some wobble but its very small, definitely less than other switches

[quasi hinge]

Wooting should add a disclaimer, credit to whoever thought of that lol

Even coming from raws it felt big

At least for gameplay

Making those crouch or crawling movements slowly

[sullen thorn]

Yooooo I'm searching for RGB translucent keycaps (like the key is black-ish but the character let pass light through) but with a "stealth" writings (on the side on the key) of keys.
Any recommendations ?

[kind helm]

disclaimer: the 65 dolla switch that we sell sucks unless you spend more money to buy lubing kit and 2+ hours of work on them

[quasi hinge]

That is right sir

But well worth it

Rite of passage lmao

[noble mason]

i don’t even care abt performance i just want good sounding keyboard

[kind helm]

MX

[quasi hinge]

Lmao

[calm pulsar]

funny how you can suggest it to some people on here but they likely still want the HE functionality

[quasi hinge]

Then avoid ttc

[noble mason]

i mean i still want rapid trigger and stuff lol

[quasi hinge]

Then you need HE

[noble mason]

yup

[quasi hinge]

But most HE switches are noisy

[noble mason]

as long as it sounds good

[quasi hinge]

Its kind of like the tradeoff but someone here have done some amazing things with sound

Maybe they are busy but some people will be eager to share their build/sound tests

[sacred elm]

I would say, avoid ttc if youre not going to hand lube. Hand lubed ttc switches dont sound bad

[quasi hinge]

Ttc first then raw 50g on carbon fiber plate

[quasi hinge]

Totally agree, if you wont hand lube then go for raws or jade pros

[tawdry tree]

No.

[fluid ravine]

@kind helm @harsh dove I'm truly a bum

[calm pulsar]

okay but what do switches have to do with this

[fluid ravine]

Nixies

[calm pulsar]

so you built the raw stem and top w/ duhuk bottom?

how you liking them

[fluid ravine]

Theyre the fucking same as earlier

I'm doing cus I like nixies

[kind helm]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[calm pulsar]

lol but they're good no?

[fluid ravine]

Doing it for the looks

E en though I can't even see them

[fluid ravine]

I mean yeah

The fraken of duhuksxraws are just so it

[calm pulsar]

yeah I liked this build

rawhooks

[kind helm]

thought you missed it

[fluid ravine]

gah damn these sound bright

:>

mx but not mx lul

[kind helm]

say no more, i am grabbing some raws now

[fluid ravine]

remiding me of dave's mx recordings

[kind helm]

i need me some fake nixies too

[calm pulsar]

the HE thud is still present, but it is still a nice sound signature of its own

[fluid ravine]

yeah not wrong

[kind helm]

from duhuk's bottom

[fluid ravine]

but hell im gonna be bias or wtv but i prefer these over anythign else rn dafuq

[calm pulsar]

me rn with my mx build

[fluid ravine]

lmao

[kind helm]

maybe i grab this too?

40 dolla on raws, 28 dolla on duhuk, thats pom price holy

[harsh dove]

and you don't have to lube

or spend money on lube

[kind helm]

whys shipping 8 dolla now

it used to be 5

duhfuk

[kind helm]

except i do, because geon spring is goated

[harsh dove]

nah bro just use em dry like me

[kind helm]

https://tenor.com/view/time-to-stop-lol-funny-gif-7561335

[harsh dove]

bro they sound good without lube

no need to waste time or lube

just pop em in

[calm pulsar]

lol

they are good I confirm

[kind helm]

honesty spring lubing doesnt take that much longer so i dont really mind

[harsh dove]

bro that time spring lubing could be spent studying the laws of the universe

[calm pulsar]

or dilly dallying

born to dilly dally
forced to lube switches

but not anymore

[kind helm]

the only way i can justify spending this money is because i have stopped getting coffee from my nearby coffee shop.

so lets pretend i saved some money that way hehe...

probably next monday it will arrive

[calm pulsar]

why are you getting another set of raws again?

multiple boards?

[thorn zealot]

my stabs went from arriving today to not having an eta

hahahaha

[kind helm]

raw top for the fake nixies that cam and bald boi made

raw top + duhuk bottom with geon spring

[calm pulsar]

yeah but didnt you alrdy have raws?

[kind helm]

i love my raws on my salv too much

[calm pulsar]

ah makes sense

[kind helm]

[calm pulsar]

yeah raws in salv I remember sounding great

still remember Dr Dave's build with gmk ascii

[kind helm]

i am still swapping board every 1 or 2 days hehe

love my boards equally.

[kind helm]

i wonder if dave's he build is still on tofu

i remember he put back mx on salv

[rare kraken]

are those the mathew silent

[thorn zealot]

they are the opposite of matthew silents

[rare kraken]

can i get a soundtest

[stone flax]

why josh why

ti he exist now

[kind helm]

but but but not duhuk bottom

[stone flax]

heh....

[kind helm]

plus is ti he on us sites?

[stone flax]

yeah

i mean

us vendor

surre

unikeys

my goast

[harsh dove]

Yeah Unikeys and Swagkeys

[stone flax]

https://unikeyboards.com/products/owlab-ti-he-magnetic-switches

[stone flax]

swagkeys shipping is kinda uhhhhhhhhhhhh

[fluid ravine]

@rare kraken

[kind helm]

price is good too

[stone flax]

THOCKY!

[rare kraken]

bro i wish i got those

[fluid ravine]

Oh same price as raws

[fluid ravine]

Ok MJ

[rare kraken]

just wait ima make the swotches i got sound good

[fluid ravine]

Whatchu got

[thorn zealot]

thought u said u want silent

not those

[fluid ravine]

[kind helm]

but yeee i want to try fake nixie more than ti he. i fear that ti he is just a better jade pro

[rare kraken]

i want creamy which is thocky but yall said what is creamy so i just said silent

[kind helm]

whats your thought on ti he anyway, i thought not many have tried them yet @stone flax

[harsh dove]

Yeah but I went half on shipping with Tirade so it was $13 and Unikeys has theres listed for $0.30 more so they end up costing $5 more for how many I bought vs Swagkeys

and me and Tirade wanted more swagkeys knights stabilizers

v3

[kind helm]

when they coming?

[sacred elm]

you shouldve waited for owlabs switches

[harsh dove]

No date yet it says but they coming DHL

[rare kraken]

How yall think the silent switches will sound it can’t be that quiet

I still wanna hear smth

[sacred elm]

another cam stream soon

[kind helm]

maybe owlab board is ass because on the owlab board + owlab switch it wasnt that impressive to me personally

[thorn zealot]

ur fine

[kind helm]

how dare me

[rare kraken]

Bro I don’t want my keyboard sounding bad

[sacred elm]

its probably very good. closed bottom raws with better wobble

[thorn zealot]

i said fine not bad

idk how u can fuck up silent switches

that bad

[calm pulsar]

with leggera it will be softer which would be perfect imo

[rare kraken]

U got a sound test if it

[kind helm]

yeee i really want to use specifically the duhuk bottom material because its loudness fit really nicely with my tofu 2.0

[thorn zealot]

someone here has some

idk who

[kind helm]

i do hope ti he is good though, the price is decent

[rare kraken]

Creamy

[thorn zealot]

i wll venmo anyone 1 band if they can tell me what creamy/thocky means

in their own words

[fluid ravine]

Honestly I like the alphas as is soo

[fluid ravine]

Deadass?

[thorn zealot]

yes

[fluid ravine]

Shi

[kind helm]

kid bout to get scammed

[fluid ravine]

Waig

What kind of band

[calm pulsar]

yeah but creamy leggera = more creamy sound

[thorn zealot]

a rubber band

[fluid ravine]

Fak

I was gonna do it

[thorn zealot]

can u do it anyways

[calm pulsar]

bro was bouta write a whole essay

[fluid ravine]

I was

[fluid ravine]

Hmmm

No

[thorn zealot]

@stone flax u have hammerworks right

if so where u get em

[quasi hinge]

Anyone have experience with this yet?

[polar girder]

I kinda want hammerworks

[thorn zealot]

cam is getting some

[kind helm]

https://tenor.com/view/just-do-it-shia-la-beouf-do-it-gif-18298503445821339884

[harsh dove]

Hammerworks is good

[thorn zealot]

its almost impossible to find em

unless im blind and um

dum

[quasi hinge]

Ill only consider them if they somehow beat the ttc pom in stability, spring back which I doubt but who knows

[sacred elm]

they wont

[calm pulsar]

they are pretty much duhuks with raw stem

[quasi hinge]

Ahhh okay

[quasi hinge]

Ty 🙏

[polar girder]

Those are hot

[lapis badge]

are these raws?

[calm pulsar]

wouldn't it be just like that one time where you got black on gray

[harsh dove]

It's non box stem so not really fair to compare

[polar girder]

Hope not

[kind helm]

isnt that the same thing as what you currently have essentially?

[calm pulsar]

look up some irl pics hehe

[harsh dove]

They'll basically be one of the best non box stem switches in terms of stability

[quasi hinge]

So I basically should ignore all non box stem lmao

[tropic urchin]

they might get close but doubtful you're gonna have a nonbox stem beat out box for stability

[harsh dove]

If you want the stability that comes with box stem then yeah lol

[kind helm]

top wobble is not perfect but we dont talk about that

[quasi hinge]

proceeds to ignore

[harsh dove]

Will be nice to see more box stems come out that compete with TTC tho

[polar girder]

I should just put on Cosmos and shut up

[tropic urchin]

its just priced well with RAW+ performance is all it is

[polar girder]

Or buy Stealth + Blackout

[harsh dove]

Yes

[polar girder]

[harsh dove]

or that

$350

[polar girder]

Lolz

Fr

[kind helm]

so glad you reacted first

[polar girder]

Fk

[calm pulsar]

yeah I mean I would go with those over anything you have rn

[quasi hinge]

Or get gentleman keycaps

[fluid ravine]

@thorn zealot Creamy, a buzz word/onomatoepeia that has a no to stupid meaning describes a sound profile of a keyboard with a smooth yet "buttery sound" with no scratch that emphasizes the mids the most. Most "creamy" sounding keyboards tend to use foam that lowers the highs but focuses on the mids, unlike thock where it emphasizes on the lows AND mids. (Kms, i feel like im making shit up) To focus on these mids to achieve a "creamy" sound, it's best to use a sound modifier like PE foam or IXPE sheets as a sound filter. In conclusion, creamy is just nooby keyboard geeks going delulu and getting clickbaited out of their own misery.

[kind helm]

i need a tldr

[polar girder]

What

[fluid ravine]

Duhuks and Raws Frakenstein
Duhuks or Raw Top housing
Raw Stem
Aliexpress 22mm 62g Springs
Duhuks Bottom housing

[fluid ravine]

read last sentence

that's all you need to know

[thorn zealot]

can u ppl stop posting

im trying to grade a essay

[polar girder]

I think I had these and gave them away lol

[fluid ravine]

so how i do teach-

[calm pulsar]

jokes aside, true

[fluid ravine]

did i get a band

[thorn zealot]

correct

[fluid ravine]

hehe

IM HIMMMMMMMMMMMMM

https://tenor.com/view/so-youre-that-guy-tragic-rude-mike-lawry-will-smith-gif-16743631

[thorn zealot]

no im me

[rare kraken]

thats what i said to yall but yall kinda got a extra cromosone

[kind helm]

just gonna archive this for the future.

[fluid ravine]

we've been living in this chat for so long to the point it made us who we are

[calm pulsar]

no you said "didnt you watch tiktok?"

[polar girder]

Read your username with a straight face then say that again

LOL

[rare kraken]

holy

[thorn zealot]

no no u said watch tiktok

[polar girder]

TikTok brain go brrrrr

[thorn zealot]

this is A+ work

[fluid ravine]

TYPE SHIIIIIIIIIIII

[fluid ravine]

thanks teach

[rare kraken]

i said it better ngl

like watch tiktok and you will know how it sounds

[fluid ravine]

ok see if i manage to soften the bottom out while keeping the poppiness and just shove a plate foam in there, y'all dumbos would call it creamy

[polar girder]

lol right right

[tropic urchin]

how you gonna say someone got an extra chromosome and spell it wrong

[rare kraken]

yo anyone got a sound test for mather silent switches

chill im mid fortnite game

im tryna type fast

[fluid ravine]

you know even the "creamy" board sound tests like ones of akko yellow v3 are like a lie
the audio is post edited

[sacred elm]

😭 😭 😭 😭

[fluid ravine]

definition of click bait

[sacred elm]

lmao

[fallen pecan]

go bug fleimi for the sound test

[tropic urchin]

thats crazy work

[fluid ravine]

YO-

[tropic urchin]

I got no horse in this race but like damn

[thorn zealot]

ok fine

first one i found i think it sounds bad

and foamy

and stinks

[fluid ravine]

type shi

honestly foamy keyboards disgust me

[rare kraken]

fr

lol

[fluid ravine]

you know how your ears like get poppy in a airplane

no one saw that

anyways

[kind helm]

just emmm.. you know... archive purpose

[fluid ravine]

like it just sound so muted and isolated and i feel like im getting suffocated

[kind helm]

in the future i can say what i want without saying it

with the power of screenshots

[fluid ravine]

ay josh

[rare kraken]

that sounds like it sounds good

[fluid ravine]

get all the screenshots you can today

im gonna change my identity tomorrow

[rare kraken]

i want a muted keybaord

[fluid ravine]

"muted"

there's like two categories

for muted if we being fr here

[thorn zealot]

then use an ipad

[fluid ravine]

PPFFFT

type

sno you better not call me out

[rare kraken]

but i want creamy silent keyboard

[fluid ravine]

jeejee

[polar girder]

If you want quiet HE you can’t be picky

[fluid ravine]

jajajajajaja

[kind helm]

cant wait to see what you come up with

[polar girder]

you just say fk it and choose quiet

[thorn zealot]

its ok

ik ur 13

[fluid ravine]

YOOOO LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[thorn zealot]

once u get older u will learn and understand

[cyan lark]

Cweem

[fluid ravine]

AND THE HAIR COLOR IS CREAM

YOOOOOOOO

HAHA

[rare kraken]

alr bro

[thorn zealot]

what

u said it urself

[fluid ravine]

no actually though he's deadass speaking facts

i use to be you kinda

[sacred elm]

dont report him, hes getting banned lmao

[polar girder]

Y’all hating on a dude for using buzz words

Chill

[kind helm]

discord is age restricted?

[sacred elm]

dont say your age next time

[thorn zealot]

no its not hate

[sacred elm]

yea

[thorn zealot]

we are teaching

[fluid ravine]

when i was 13-14 i be desiring hella shi for "thock" and "creamy" or like even "marbly"

wouldnt even know lmfao

it'll take time

everything will sink in and you will learn

[cyan lark]

Aren’t you like 16? I dunno you all look the same to me

[polar girder]

Yo I lubed and oiled a TTC POM

SHEEEESH

[cyan lark]

❤️

[polar girder]

smooth shit

[fluid ravine]

yes im 16

[calm pulsar]

kids these days am I rite

[kind helm]

ah i was getting worried if i should stop yapping probably not the best influence.

[fluid ravine]

i started keyboard hobby since i was 13

joined wooting fam when i was 14

i grew

[fluid ravine]

heh

rite

[fluid ravine]

it good huh

lul

what it like

[polar girder]

Fk the haters, fam. HE is too young of a switch. There’s no good sounding quiet HE switches yet

[fluid ravine]

what am i missing out of this pleasent experience

[polar girder]

You can either have good or you can have quiet.

[rare kraken]

bruh

[polar girder]

Bruh what

[cyan lark]

I just like folks asking for creamy. It’s gross sounding.

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

clam chowder

[cyan lark]

Don’t start with clam chowder. Disgusting.

[rare kraken]

so there is no good switches

[fluid ravine]

nah dead ass though my first "creamy" sounding board was akko v3 yellow cream in a gmmk compact

[polar girder]

Not good quiet switches, no

[calm pulsar]

type shit

[polar girder]

Matthew and phoenix silent HE switches are pretty mid overall

But they are decently quiet

[kind helm]

this is why i think some kids should be bullied

[rare kraken]

what abt creamy thocky or buttery whatever yall call it

[polar girder]

And they might be fine for you.

[fluid ravine]

Raeds

[polar girder]

Yeah I guess go Raeds, bro

[rare kraken]

dang i alr got silent ones

when they come ill amke a so8und test

[polar girder]

Then just use those lol

[fluid ravine]

Well, it's all subjective and full of preferences lol sooooo

[cyan lark]

No more raeds recommendations? I know that one guy was really upset by them but cam liked then alright I thought.

[polar girder]

You’re chilling

[polar girder]

That one guy always really upset with something tho

[fluid ravine]

yeah-

;-;

[polar girder]

So I’m ignoring that whole experience, respectfully.

[sacred elm]

lmao

that was too funny

[fluid ravine]

i mean had a valid complaint about raeds no?

[cyan lark]

Yeah that one. Spicy reaction.

[fluid ravine]

how it like doesn't clip into plate or some shi

idk

[cyan lark]

They fell out of his plate

Which is fair that sounds bad

[fluid ravine]

that's the only valid crash about the raeds

[sacred elm]

his 60he plate was so ass

[polar girder]

I’m just saying I’m not putting it past skill issue

[fluid ravine]

otherwise i think they're alr

[polar girder]

But I also don’t care and just ignoring the whole thing

[fluid ravine]

yo-

[harsh dove]

Yeah they were fine in my carbon fiber 80 plate

[polar girder]

I haven’t seen any other complaint about raeds straight up falling out of boards lol

[harsh dove]

didn't fall out lol

[fluid ravine]

lol

[crystal pagoda]

Raeds better

duhuks better

[fluid ravine]

skill isoo indeeed

[crystal pagoda]

bestagons better

[polar girder]

Yeah I think raeds are a solid option if you want quiet switch

[harsh dove]

Yeah I liked em

[fluid ravine]

bestagons?

[polar girder]

Besta-what

[rare kraken]

omg i just clipped a kid

[calm pulsar]

I also asked that and he said there's some secret tech

[crystal pagoda]

The bestagons are the best switch

[cyan lark]

Wait is zanix also mj? X better is his calling card no?

[kind helm]

i think these 2 had a arguement at some point

so i assume not

[cyan lark]

🤔

[kind helm]

or yes depending on what you meant

[thorn zealot]

no he argues with himself

[kind helm]

maybe a mj but not the mj

[sacred elm]

its him

thats just a bad cope

[fluid ravine]

right??

Bo Kho :>

[zinc hemlock]

You know what’s another bad cope

[crystal pagoda]

Also polar boards have really weird spacing

[thorn zealot]

its very lovely

[zinc hemlock]

Me being from the uk and needing a iso layout most of the time paying like £50 for keycaps

[crystal pagoda]

just get a keycap set with proper kitting(?)

I know 10 dollar aifei that covers iso

Unless you mean azerty

or such

[zinc hemlock]

Hard to find for cheap when the import here is like ludicrous

Well

Idk that

[crystal pagoda]

Aliexpress?

[zinc hemlock]

I’m more or less new to the landscape

[crystal pagoda]

Vendors?

[zinc hemlock]

Good point

Aliexpress does good ansi keycaps but not iso basically

It’s the torture of the region

[crystal pagoda]

by iso

Do you mean

qwerty

or azerty

cuz i guarantee any half decent set carries iso kitting

[cyan lark]

Bring some for the rest of the class next time

[zinc hemlock]

Any decent set yeah, but at a cost. Not for less than but I see your point

Full sets are bruh

[fluid ravine]

No

[zinc hemlock]

Bring the vapes

[fluid ravine]

It's for him and my one bite

[crystal pagoda]

Name a price

[zinc hemlock]

£35, £50 you can expect a bland iso uk set for the lowest price but for a decently designed set around 40-50ish

And I’m not talking about ABS shiz

PBT double shot is the way to go

[calm pulsar]

so you're talking about another shiz like no shine, sturdy etc

for 50 pounds these sets are a blend anyways

abs and pbt

[zinc hemlock]

Pretty much

I like smooth keycaps okay

[crystal pagoda]

ik $20 sets with iso

[fluid ravine]

They'll all shine eventually

[crystal pagoda]

I got this for $21

[zinc hemlock]

Cope, not bad

[crystal pagoda]

wdym

[fluid ravine]

I think he meant cop

[zinc hemlock]

It’d be double the price to import here

[crystal pagoda]

Your pbt is not doubleshot

Your doubleshot is not pbt

[zinc hemlock]

You know how much shipping is into the uk?

Yeah

[crystal pagoda]

Vendors moment

UK?

[calm pulsar]

shouldn't there be some amazon sets that are similar? or aliexpress (not sure if it costs to import)

[crystal pagoda]

I thought u were in some weird narnia county

[zinc hemlock]

Yeah those are the cheap ones

[crystal pagoda]

but the UK?

lul

[zinc hemlock]

Yeah

Now you know xd

[crystal pagoda]

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

[calm pulsar]

isnt UK that? jk jk

[crystal pagoda]

no i mean like

Literally

What are u complaining about

uk has vendors

I assumed u meant some far off european country without vendors

[zinc hemlock]

Oh heck no

I don’t know we had vendors

[crystal pagoda]

a shit ton

[crystal pagoda]

^

[zinc hemlock]

Basically the search results are biased to USA if you don’t type in uk

[fluid ravine]

Where does glarses live?

[zinc hemlock]

Thank you

[crystal pagoda]

All good

[zinc hemlock]

Isn’t he the guy who made his own switch?

[calm pulsar]

UK

[fluid ravine]

Heh soooo

[zinc hemlock]

Hehe, I can find glarses in uk?

[fluid ravine]

Probably 👀

[zinc hemlock]

He better be wearing chainmail

[calm pulsar]

well he did talk about paying insane costs for shipping, but that was about niche super limited boards

[zinc hemlock]

🔪🔪

[fluid ravine]

Yeah

[calm pulsar]

yo

[fluid ravine]

Yo-

[zinc hemlock]

Welcome to the uk bud

[fluid ravine]

Who said I would step a foot into the UK

[zinc hemlock]

I did 🔫🔫🔫

[fluid ravine]

I'm stepping over y'all dafuq

I'm going back to asia

[tropic urchin]

Better food if nothing else

[fluid ravine]

Nah fr 🙏

Can't deny goshhh

[kind helm]

i read that instantly my brain went "fuck us"

[fluid ravine]

I haven't been back home for 8 years

[tropic urchin]

US food ain’t bad but it sure as fuck isn’t baked beans on toast type shii even if it is processed behind belief

[calm pulsar]

what would be a good salary to live in Japan

I want to move

[tropic urchin]

That’s ambitious

[fluid ravine]

Korea 💯

[quasi hinge]

They are selling houses for nothing outside large cities

[kind helm]

i feel like jp and cn are like countries that are good IF you are rich

[fluid ravine]

Gotta see geon brah

[tropic urchin]

I don’t think Japan even lets you have a bank account as a foreigner

[calm pulsar]

my gf is getting good at japanese, I might learn that too if it comes to it

[quasi hinge]

Yeah unless you can earn an income or have passive, it would be hard even with $3,500 homes they are selling

[fluid ravine]

Yurrr

[calm pulsar]

Korea is nice too, both probably quite expensive though hehe

[quasi hinge]

They do if you move there

[kind helm]

i was mainly thinking about the competition is just depressing over there

[fluid ravine]

Honestly I wouldn't even know

[calm pulsar]

yeah heard about that

[polar girder]

Baked beans on toast slaps

Just gotta butter the toast

[fluid ravine]

I haaate beans

[cyan lark]

[quasi hinge]

[fluid ravine]

Fugging try hards

[calm pulsar]

you mean competition over jobs and stuff?

[quasi hinge]

before moving to Japan, check out this book

[kind helm]

yee

[fluid ravine]

My cousin in Vietnam just left to Germany for university

[polar girder]

Yo I lubed tf out of one Pom and then just the stem and swirled around the bottom housing of the other one. I think they sound identical

[fluid ravine]

Only one in her school

Wild

[kind helm]

i wish i can do my phd in EU

[calm pulsar]

yeah I wouldn't even dream of being competitive there, but if I worked remotely for a relatively nice salary while living in a nice asian country, would've been nice

[kind helm]

forced to take useless classes because school need da money

[fluid ravine]

See I feel like I'm throwing my life away right now

[kind helm]

hell nah

[fluid ravine]

[kind helm]

what am i lookin at

[tropic urchin]

Always could be worse, for some they turn 18 and get throw onto the warfront

[fluid ravine]

Noooo not the I can't see shit sound test

[polar girder]

Don’t look. Just listen

I can’t find how to send voice memo lol

[fluid ravine]

Ill listen later

[fluid ravine]

On PC?

[kind helm]

doesnt sound like he if that is a keyboard

[polar girder]

No iPhone

[kind helm]

or is it a switch?

[polar girder]

It’s two TTC Pom in hand

[kind helm]

ah k

[polar girder]

Lubing a couple to test

[calm pulsar]

lubing fixes the sound a lot on poms imo

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m trying to see how much I need to lube

Tempted to lube the whole thing lol

That’s what I did on one

[fluid ravine]

I mean I just threw mine away to fucking swap top housings for my damn switches

[sacred elm]

I lubed everything but top housing

[polar girder]

Yeah one i lubed top housing

One i didn’t

Seems pretty similar

Might skip that part

I mean stem already lubed

[calm pulsar]

stem has to be lubed 100%

[polar girder]

I know

Mandatory

Then bottom housing already has lube so I have to spread that out

Probably skip top housing tho

Just hit everything else well

Meh fuck it

Lube the whole damn thing

[calm pulsar]

I did that but tbh I think generously lubing the stem and spring should be enough

stem should spread the lube in needed places anyway

[polar girder]

Yeah my springs are oiled to high hell

[calm pulsar]

squish maxxing

[polar girder]

Lolol

[rare kraken]

Yo anyone got a sound test for silent Mathew switches pls

[rare kraken]

I use to dip my spring and the top part of switches into lube before I learned how to do it properly

Ty cam btw

[cyan lark]

Just teaching how to fish

[kind helm]

this needs to be pinned

[rare kraken]

Fishing?

I’m not fishing

🤦‍♂️

[kind helm]

mr turing is speachless

LMAO

[calm pulsar]

tiktok brain unable to even search YT these days lmao

[cyan lark]

I don't know sometimes if people are messing w/ me or not

[calm pulsar]

he is messing, just a little kid

[cyan lark]

🤷 alrighty

[rare kraken]

Bro it sounds like ass but ngl he prob don’t know how to mod like me

[cyan lark]

I'm not trying to bully you, but didn't you have a keyboard full of Doritos like 24h ago?

[rare kraken]

Maybe but now Ik how to mod

[cyan lark]

Alright, I dunno, never used the Mathews myself.

[rare kraken]

So I just got the worst switches😭🔫

The switches sound like foam

[stray tiger]

Was able to catch up with a friend today and check out his latest board.

[rare kraken]

Lemma send a vid rq

[calm pulsar]

gmk mtnu

[kind helm]

typical wholsome content by thockfather

[stray tiger]

On a norbauer board

[calm pulsar]

what's crazier is this is norbauer, is it the 10k dollar keyboard?

or what was the price 😄

[rare kraken]

This is how the keyboard sounds bro

Just like foam

[stray tiger]

Don't ask don't tell 😁

[rare kraken]

But he is using a plastic case and trashy keycaps what looks like so I might be good

[cyan lark]

Neat looking board!

[fluid ravine]

what the hell am i listening to LOL

[rare kraken]

How the Mathew switch sound like from the vid

It sounds like foam

[fluid ravine]

oh shi you got it?

[rare kraken]

No

[fluid ravine]

wait wtf then

[rare kraken]

Look and watch this vid

It sounds like foam

[fluid ravine]

yeah i aint doing all at

[rare kraken]

But he has shitty keycaps and plastic case what looks like

Well mine is 100% accuracy type shi

[polar girder]

Sheeeeesh

[calm pulsar]

well this one seems to be $660 heavy-9, but in a different finish

[stray tiger]

Oh that's just the price of the case in the least expensive finish

[calm pulsar]

luthier-tier kind of keyboards

[barren token]

sad day

[warm yarrow]

there is an alu plate available to me now :) 17usd

[cyan lark]

Holy smokes I looked up norbauer and just those cases 💸

[uneven cradle]

Yeah anything norbauer will be 💸

[calm pulsar]

are bauer and norbauer affiliated? cause bauer lite are relatively affordable

[quasi hinge]

Are they actually 'worth' the money or more of a niche item for those who want to spend and do nothing

I mean its cool he has like a warranty or limited stock paper

[cyan lark]

I'd argue that there's no way a case at those prices can be considered anything but a niche/art piece

Not knocking it, and if you have that kinda passion then more power to ya

[uneven cradle]

Worth is entirely up to the person, it's about as high end as you can get in terms of an EC keyboard

I'm not really an EC kind of guy and my bank account doesn't stretch that far so they're not for me, but to each their own

[quasi hinge]

Yeah fair

[harsh dove]

Norbauer stuff is for real deep enthusiast keeb nerds

[quasi hinge]

You got one?

[harsh dove]

Nope

[uneven cradle]

Looks like the veracity steel finish

If I had to guess

If true that's a 5kg keyboard

[barren token]

[cyan lark]

What was the issue?

[barren token]

can't use quick checkout, have to checkout as guest

[inland fern]

A cable is not worth 45$ 😭

[fluid ravine]

You haven't even seen the others..

This is nothing...

Should look at WiredIn

Lol-

So worth it

[inland fern]

Wth

[marsh saffron]

That copper one looks nice

[fluid ravine]

It does

CAM has some WiredIn cables

Pretty sure he's friend with them

[kind helm]

did you up your cable game

[fluid ravine]

Boy I'm out of dollars bills brah

I need some donations

[marsh saffron]

I too will be taking donations to fund oled 👍 👍

[fluid ravine]

Lubing service right here

[kind helm]

unikeys has some nice looking cable that are not too expensive

[fluid ravine]

Link?

I'm in bed rn hehe

[kind helm]

was browsing the page after mj sent the link for the ti he switches

[fluid ravine]

I need to go eepy

[kind helm]

https://unikeyboards.com/collections/artisan-cables

[fluid ravine]

I need a straight

Ngl I don't fw coiled

[kind helm]

me neither :3 not anymore. i gifted my coiled cable to my friend

[marsh saffron]

Yeah when I get wooting cable I'll just be using the straight attachment

Coiled is meh

[kind helm]

i think its cool if you have a setup that you dont move around much. but my two boards have different usb-c port location and i keep moving my stuff on the table when i do different things :3

its way too much work to keep positioning the coil nicely

[marsh saffron]

I move my keyboard around a lot simply depending on how I'm sittingn

• i think straight just looks better

[calm pulsar]

yeah I move my board between typing stance and gaming stance

[fluid ravine]

Same

Another thing is that my interface is like right above my keeb

And I'm gonna switch to middle port soon

So straight will most likely give me more leeway to move around and I just prefer the looks of it

Like that that shit is up there

Ok gn guys

I need to rest, my body gave up on me after today. "Big day" tmr

Well td cus it's 1:30am for me lol

Stream later tonight! Prob 8-9 CST

Not gonna be long stream cus I got other shit to do, like homework that I'm procrastinating on lol

Lmk who wanna get pinged

[glacial wind]

I’d like to request you ping @ionic breach

[magic walrus]

Sounds good for my taste

[calm pulsar]

me

[magic walrus]

What was the Name of this case again

[little glen]

Salvation

I recommend the b stock salvation that has random color

[magic walrus]

U Order and get random Color?

[little glen]

Yes

I got blue

[magic walrus]

Wtf

[little glen]

Its also a lot cheaper

Also comes with travel case and accessories

For 100 dollar

It can have slight flaws on the surface but i had no big issues

And someone else here got one that was very good condition as well

[magic walrus]

Ye the think is my friend would Play me Money for my tofu redux and im thinking about a holy60 or salvation. But I have to make sure its black otherwhise my setup would Look screwed

[trail bane]

POM today

[little glen]

If you want it to be black i recommend buying used

Or get a frog mini leggera

Gt-60 is also a new case that is coming soon

Maybe you like that design

[magic walrus]

Looks Like its very similar to the tofu rdux tho

[little glen]

I dont think so

[magic walrus]

I see

Holy 60 Catches my Taste pretty well but the opinions Are mixed so hard

[little glen]

It looks really cool

But sound is not amazing

If you like the look of some others maybe think about those first

I honestly think leggera and gt60 look great

Salvation too of course

[languid kestrel]

yeah but useless if you can't decide color??

[little glen]

Depends

I dont care about deciding color

[languid kestrel]

i mean the only reason to get a custom case is for it to be custom how you like it

[magic walrus]

Gt 60 is great but doesnt fit the rest of my setup

[languid kestrel]

what point is there to pay for a case if you can't have the one you like

[magic walrus]

Im a Bit picky tbh

[little glen]

If you like all of them

Get random one, pick keycaps depending on what it is

[languid kestrel]

then you either have 10x the value in keycaps already or have to buy some

so you're not really saving any money

[magic walrus]

Cant Even find where to bus a salvation

[little glen]

You‘ll probably have to find a used one

[magic walrus]

Im making the guess everyone in this hobby has atleast black keycaps spare

[magic walrus]

Could be hard

[languid kestrel]

maybe

[magic walrus]

Nope cant get one lmao

[little glen]

@high sphinx i think you bought a used salvation, how easy was it?

[magic walrus]

Nvm wait

[high sphinx]

Really easy tbh i got it of eu m1rjet discord just like my frog mini u can also get it of mechmarket

[little glen]

@magic walrus ^ shouldnt be too difficult if you know where to look

[magic walrus]

@little glen I dont know where to Look and im in germany xd

[little glen]

You said you only want black right

[magic walrus]

Yep

[little glen]

Cause honestly, i am probably case swapping this week

So if you‘re ok with blue and live around nrw we could work something out

But if you really want black, try what gpster said

[magic walrus]

Lol

Yo thinking about that

[magic walrus]

What case youll get

[little glen]

Frog mini leggera

Silver

[magic walrus]

Uh nice

[uneven cradle]

[quiet ginkgo]

can u just buy a cheap but good quality metal case and paint it the color you want

or would good looking paint be too expensive

and make it the same price as a good case of the specific color you want

i like a matte look

so it doesnt need to be glossy

i think painting things is easier to make them look matte right

[little glen]

Painting is not the same as ano

[quiet ginkgo]

ah

is anodizing hard

or expensive

[little glen]

Plus a cheap case will not have the same feel+finish+features as a more expensive case

[quiet ginkgo]

well not necessarily cheap

but what if the color i want specifically is way more expensive

than something of good quality that is not my color

[little glen]

Dont shop by color shop by design

[quiet ginkgo]

but i want a color theme of my choice

😭

i like dark purples mostly

or really dark blues

[little glen]

See if you can find someone nearby that can do cerakote for you

[quiet ginkgo]

ceramic coating

am i geting that right

can i do that for my wooting two he actually?

just take everything out and get someone to cerakote it or what you are talking about it

into my preferred color

also can you add one of those cool brass weights to the wooting two he

[little glen]

Idk if itll adhere to the plastic

[quiet ginkgo]

huh someone told me its metal

[little glen]

The top plate is metal

[quiet ginkgo]

oh the top

[little glen]

The bottom case is plastic

[quiet ginkgo]

damn so i'd have to do 2 different coloring methods?

[little glen]

Idk

Just try what was suggested yesterday

You can cerakote those if need be

[quiet ginkgo]

the 80he part?

i was thinking this could be cheaper

[little glen]

The find a used case from that one keeb and modify it

For your 2 he

[quiet ginkgo]

keyboard market in romania kinda small

[magic walrus]

Im on a Budget for the Most of the time too but Bro Trust me Safe some Money and pay a Bit more. Or get a used one.

[quiet ginkgo]

not sure if ill find a used wooting two he case

[little glen]

Try to find one in eu then

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[glossy pagoda]

Do you already have a Wooting 2HE?

[quiet ginkgo]

yes

[glossy pagoda]

If so, you could send in a postcard request for an extra case

[quiet ginkgo]

oh how much would that be

[glossy pagoda]

Dunno, those things are a one-off kind of situation, but it's precisely the kind of thing a post card request is good for 🙂

[quiet ginkgo]

alright

does the postcard thing expire

ill ask when i have around 300 saved up

so i can be sure i can pay for everything related to the case

[little glen]

I think nana wants a metal case

[quiet ginkgo]

no its fine

if i could just paint it

and make it sound deeper through other ways

like better switches

[little glen]

Also brass weight might be difficult

[quiet ginkgo]

and keycaps

[glossy pagoda]

It does not

[little glen]

Switches, filling material

[quiet ginkgo]

as long as theres methods to make the wooting two he sound thockier

im fine with it not being metal

or having a brass weight

i just want to have my own choice of color for it

by painting or whatever methods needs to be used

[glossy pagoda]

Metal would be less thocky than plastic, as a general rule

[quiet ginkgo]

WHAT
