[thorn zealot]

What’s wrong with stock ones

[steel hemlock]

Lubed, bandaid modded, etc etc

I’m very sure I did it right

I cleaned stabs multiple times and made sure not to go too heavy

Tried with and without holee

Maybe I just suck

Nothing fixes it

Yet the 40$ clones get it right

[thorn zealot]

U even balanced the wires or no

[steel hemlock]

It was way worse before

[steel hemlock]

Attempted to I guess

But atp

Stealing stabs off another board seems like a better option 😂

[errant meadow]

Right needs more lube

Get a lube syringe

[steel hemlock]

Ok maybe Im stupid

Already did this a while back

And it was actually fine for a few days

Until it wasnt anymore

Like

Maybe I just need someone more capable than I am

[thorn zealot]

Don’t overlube

Heard it makes ur stabs tick more if u do

[steel hemlock]

Cause holy fuck I suck with stabs

[steel hemlock]

Thats why I cleaned it prior

If anything its underlubed rn

[errant meadow]

Yeah right side of the stabs needs more lube

Or just buy a knightstabs

Installed one recently. It was great

[untold wigeon]

How many joshibas

are there

[untold wigeon]

Why so many

[thorn zealot]

Why not

Do u have an issue with that

Mario dude

[errant meadow]

Bruh

[harsh dove]

same reason there's a bunch of Taks

[thorn zealot]

What

[errant meadow]

Are you new to modding kb?

[thorn zealot]

??

It’s true

[keen stratus]

How good is the stock lube on the stock stabs for the Wooting 60HE module or do you guys replace the stock screw-in stabs with something else?

[thorn zealot]

It good

[keen stratus]

Sounds good, saves me time if I decide to get the 60HE+ module

[fluid ravine]

I would say stock lube is alright, but at best you dont need to buy new sets of stabs, give it a proper lube job and you should be perfectly fine

it'll sound just as good as any good tuned stabs if done right

[thorn zealot]

Isn’t it true that overlubing stabs can lead to ticking

[fluid ravine]

it could

anyone want mah smoothie

i made too much

[thorn zealot]

Nah g I’m buzzin rn

[fluid ravine]

i feel so FAT

[thorn zealot]

U need to bulk anyways

Don’t take that personally

[fluid ravine]

ARE YOU CALLING ME SKINNY?!!!

ARE YOU SKINNY SHAMING ME?

[thorn zealot]

Yes

[fluid ravine]

oh

[thorn zealot]

Ur built like my chopsticks in my house

[fluid ravine]

YO

😭

ok yeah you're not wrong

i might be cooked

was gonna sleep on the floor after practice again

[thorn zealot]

I can’t sleep

I took a nap and I’m not tired

[fluid ravine]

lmao

what time is it over there

[thorn zealot]

So then tmr I take another nap

And then sleep late again

[fluid ravine]

😭

[thorn zealot]

[thorn zealot]

Yesterday I stayed up to 2 doing a paper

[fluid ravine]

i stayedup till 2 as well

;-;

[thorn zealot]

Now I start my cycle of taking naps and sleeping late

[stray tiger]

If I'm not in bed by 10pm I get crotchety (or so says my fiance)

[fluid ravine]

what's crotchety

[stray tiger]

Its something that describes old irritable people like me. Cranky

[fluid ravine]

well someones being crotchety

[untold wigeon]

For today wooting should give out 30 80hes

[fluid ravine]

Only chance i can come back to the wooting family is getting a wooting board for free

jkjk

would be odd if i just buy a UwU for no reason just to be a wooting orphan

[untold wigeon]

GUYS WOOTING LEKKER V1 IS THE BEST SWITCH

[fluid ravine]

i dont know where i put mine

they're still modded lol

[untold wigeon]

wanna give me

ur wooting

[fluid ravine]

i already sold it

like a month ago

[untold wigeon]

[untold wigeon]

did u sell

[fluid ravine]

$140

[untold wigeon]

I WOULDVE

BOUGHT THAT

[surreal edge]

hey can you tell me what to do if i want to make custom metal case for my 80he

i mean for dimension to fit the pcb

[untold wigeon]

Don’t make custom case it’s extremely expensive

Just buy zinc or gt80

[surreal edge]

in my country its cheap than importing zinc or gt-80

and also i want some diff style....but main issue is pcb fitiing

[little glen]

You can check the files on wooting‘s github

Its all the design files for the whole board

You can extract the pcb/plate/gasket assembly from it and design something around that

[indigo river]

I got the plate now for my 80He

What are the screws used for?

[untold wigeon]

screwing into pcb

[indigo river]

Ah gotcha

[untold wigeon]

are there any retailers based in the US for the frog mini leggera

its really expensive from geon

[indigo river]

I must be fucking dumb but

I can’t for the life of me get any of the switches out

It feels like they are about to break

I got the tx switch puller as well as removing the plate from the pcb

[little glen]

You can push them out from below

[kind helm]

are you in cn?

[little glen]

Just gotta get the clips

Or alternatively just make sure you are fully inserting the puller under the clip and then pull

I usually like to pull the side with no diffuser/rgb window

Towards the diffuser

But idk if thats the best way to go about it

[untold wigeon]

Los angeles

[indigo river]

Nevermind I figured out the technique

[kind helm]

too bad, 31 not horrible then

[fallen pecan]

mouse shape best shape

[kind helm]

looks disgusting

[indigo river]

Should I put the switches on the plate before putting the pcb together again?

[marble sierra]

Modelled of my ex

[jade narwhal]

both before and after are ok

[kind helm]

https://tenor.com/view/linkin-park-in-the-end-chester-bennington-numetal-breaking-the-habit-gif-17702544

[fringe quarry]

hasnt even shipped yet 😔

[chilly mural]

It's okay, mine stuck in transit because of public holiday

[indigo river]

Did I put the switches on the wrong side of the plate

(I am not very smart with these kinds of things)

[little glen]

Looks good to me

Rgb window up is correct

Side of the plate is probably fine too

You just need to attach the standoffs on the underside and then screw those into the pcb

[indigo river]

The standoffs I don’t get

Where do i install them

[fallen pecan]

underside of the plate iirc

[little glen]

Do you see the screw holes on the plate

Standoff goes under that

Screw standoff in

[indigo river]

You mean those gray circles areas

[little glen]

Yes

[indigo river]

So standoff underneath and then screw in from the top

[little glen]

Yes

Once that is done, put plate on pcb, screw standoff into pcb

[fallen pecan]

https://streamable.com/g5oy9i in case you missed a step or 2

[tawdry tree]

Oblo on vacation or something?

Doesn’t seem like it. Maybe it wasn’t in stock yet?

[fringe quarry]

maybe too many weekend orders or sum

it was and is in stock

[tawdry tree]

Obloslow 😕

[peak breach]

Why frog icon?

[little glen]

Oblo was on vacation most of last month

So probably has a lot of orders to catch up on

[fluid ravine]

Froggy holding wooting sign, is this a sign

the shipping was pretty fast, everything arrived to the middle man yesterday.

but since i switched to acrylic hopefully i just need to wait until tonight to setup the shipping for international

What are the best switches when it comes to less stem wobble?

[silver nest]

yooo i overclocked my 60he to 0.001 mm actuation and 16k polling rate

now i’ll beat any opponent in any game

[polar girder]

You wish

https://ryan.norbauer.com/journal/the-outsider-option-why-i-sold-half-my-company-to-tiny/

Not sure if this will make available stabs more or less realistic lol

[round sparrow]

aight it’s april where’s owlabs collab

[night vortex]

Any cheap lube that i can buy on AliExpress for a few bucks? I'm not pretentious, doesn't have to be on krytox level.

Im gonna open the switches for another mod, so i might as well apply some lube.

[silver nest]

just get some krytox lube

you can find it for cheap nowadays

205g0

[night vortex]

Krytox is 15 bucks. I'm not gonna pay 15 bucks for 50cents worth of grease.

[silver nest]

you can find smaller containers

[untold wigeon]

Lekker switches are the best switch

[coral stone]

Hey all just ordered my first 80He
Tried to see which batch mine was from but can’t seem to find it on the batch updates.. HK-Haitun-1.

Will this be with the lekker v2s? 😦

[silver nest]

i got mine from amazon for around $20 canadian it came with the whole kit including brush, stem holder and switch opener

[cyan lark]

Yes, all 80HE prebuilts come with Lekker v2s.

[silver nest]

[tawdry tree]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EyDDYc0 is good.

[ionic breach]

https://omnitype.com/products/bauer-lite-makers-mold#preorder

[little glen]

I like the first recipe on that page

[languid kestrel]

well, you can just get whatever and lube with that but you'll be hard-pressed to find something in a small enough container to go for 50cents/unit at any rate

like you'll pay 10-15 bucks anyway, difference is whether you get 5g of keyboard-specific lube or 200g of lithium grease

but if you're buying it for a keyboard why not get the stuff meant for it

[kind helm]

40 dolla plastic plate

@uneven cradle are you in AU?

[glacial wind]

hopper be in distance cousin land of new zealand

[fading thicket]

Hey has anyone experienced any issues with Geon RAW HE switches? especially with the stabilizers switches? can't pull the switches out really weird 🤷🏽‍♂️

[cyan lark]

My answer from yesterday remains the same

[sacred elm]

they are built like shit, otherwise theyre fine

[fading thicket]

Yes, I understand, just want to know if there are other people who can help or give feedback you were the only one, but thank you

[stray tiger]

Might just be an island away but they are two different places. One island is nothing but predators and the other has no natural predators.

[fading thicket]

I can't deny it 😂

[stray tiger]

If you want to remove them easily you can disassemble the board and when you are left with just the switches and the plate, you can push the switch out

[sacred elm]

which puller are you using?

[fading thicket]

That's true, it's probably the only option in my situation

[cyan lark]

Yes, taking the switch plate out will help.

[fading thicket]

The regular wooting puller, not the best but do the job

[sacred elm]

If you plan to pull many switches, disassemble the keyboard. if only few then pull from south side first

wooting puller is bad

[fading thicket]

It's really few, just the stabilizers switches, but it STUCK 🙂

[cyan lark]

🔨

[sacred elm]

Get proper switch puller

like wuque for example

[fading thicket]

I know, didn't really wanted to mess with it too much, that's why I kept with the regular once, that's pain tho haha

[cyan lark]

Still so excited about motif. I only wish I had this fatty case to match them with.

[tropic urchin]

Bonus points if your light diffuser flies and finds a new home in the other room

[untold wigeon]

fat case

[knotty iron]

Which switch plate? 60HE or 80HE?

[untold wigeon]

Guys why are not buying lekkersw

its april 1st guys

LEKKER IS BEST

[fading thicket]

80HE

[sacred elm]

ok

[untold wigeon]

1 blocked message

[knotty iron]

I already have 3 boxes of L60 v2s and 3 boxes of L45 v2s LOL

[untold wigeon]

it was a joke vro 🥀

[sacred elm]

funny

[cyan lark]

You blocked Shafie?

[knotty iron]

im for real tho

[untold wigeon]

no

[cyan lark]

These April fools pranks are really twisting my soft noodle

[knotty iron]

Ah yeah makes sense, I found pulling switches out of the 80HE PC switch plate to be a bit harder than the 60HE+ Steel Plate

[untold wigeon]

Is this worth it

lowkey

looks exactly like calder

cant lie

[polar girder]

https://novelkeys.com/products/gmk-cyl-any-keys-keycaps

Actually available lol

[untold wigeon]

that is

so

cheeks

[ionic breach]

yea the hippo looks great with motif'

[stray tiger]

I've owned 3 sets of the KKB stuff and haven't been real happy with them. Maybe I'll give them another shot.

[fluid ravine]

All the peeps ik that has own KKB stuff so far are pretty happy with theirs

[stray tiger]

Yeah I know a lot people are happy with their kits.

[little glen]

now i will finally know what key to press

[stray tiger]

Press the delete key to enter the bios

Well boys looks like I'm going to be stuck with a 5080 for a while. 5090 is just not happening. It's crazy that Ive been able to snag 4 x 5080's and a 9070XT but not a single 5090.

[polar girder]

Got any homies in NJ?

lol

[stray tiger]

Oh there are a ton here local, I just refuse to buy from scalpers lol

[cyan lark]

Whatcha doing w/ 4x 5080s?

[stray tiger]

Delaying pick-up on 3 of them as I hold out for a 5090 but the window is closing

[cyan lark]

Just curious - why juggle delaying 3 of them? Redundancy?

And yeah fuck supporting scalpers.

[stray tiger]

I had my sniper running and kept lowering the price threshold.. The first one I bought that's in my PC now was the $1500 ASSU TUF OC one, and then bought a second one because I had coil whine. Then I lowered my price threshold and was able to snag a MSI Gaming trio for $1359 and then lowered it again and was able to snag a $1200 PNY one. I have been delaying picking them up for about a month now...

If I can get a 5090 Ill cancel all of them. If I can't I'll keep the cheapest 5080

[uneven cradle]

NZ

[stray tiger]

Dunno if you're interested but I was looking for a set of GMK Bingsu and found a set here https://dailyclack.com/products/gmk-bingsu-r2 $99 AUD which is around $63 US. They also had Nord, Botanical and Camping for the same price. Shipping was like $12 US if I recall. Hell of a deal for me, might be good for NZ too

[stray tiger]

If you were in AU I was going to have you see how much shipping was and then just ship em to me but it ended up being pretty cheap

[uneven cradle]

Damn that is cheap

[sly vector]

has anyone tried to solder on the weird pins that wooting uses on the plate to a 3rd party plate?

[stray tiger]

Where at in NZ are you?

[uneven cradle]

Wellington but originally from Tauranga

[stray tiger]

You mean the stand-offs that you screw the plate to the PCB?

[sly vector]

yeah

[stray tiger]

https://divinikey.com/products/kbdfans-m-2-countersunk-standoff-screw-kit

[little glen]

You can buy standoffs

No need to solder them or anything

[sly vector]

oh sick really

thanks

[little glen]

Thats a hell of a deal but not for me who is on the other side of the planet

[stray tiger]

Oh shit I was in your area last year and didnt know it

[stray tiger]

Shipping was only $12 for me to the US.

[little glen]

What the

[stray tiger]

Where are you at Wiz?

[little glen]

germany

[stray tiger]

Ahh gotcha. Not sure what it would cost to there.

[uneven cradle]

Oh sweet, did you do any fishing while you were here? How was your trip

[stray tiger]

That was ALL we did. Let me find some pics

[little glen]

damn botanical for the same price as well

what the fuck is this

i'd buy like 2 sets if they shipped to me

[cyan lark]

In for Nord and Botanical, thanks @stray tiger
Now I need more keyboards 🤔

[stray tiger]

Both great sets! If I didnt already have the desert base botanical I might have grabbed it

Well I wont say Nord is great, it's mid

[cyan lark]

I favor blue, though I will admit I'm not sure which of my cases it'd fit well in. Maybe the silver.

[torn rapids]

hey!! any cable recs? Are there any specs i need to look out for when buying a new one?

[cyan lark]

https://wooting.io/product/detachable-cable

[stray tiger]

I guess I cant say it's mid since thats preference, Nord just has a sour taste to me. First I got screwed by the original US vendor and lost my money when he skipped town, then when I did get the set after paying for it elsewhere, it was nothing like the proposed color.

[cyan lark]

Jeez that's possibly even worse than Cosmos-gate

I can see how that would leave you bitter

[stray tiger]

Its not as bad as that picture shows, here is the real color

Still way off

[cyan lark]

Yeah that's still a totally different ball park

The modifiers look fine but the blue isn't even close

[little glen]

i am so upset this shop doesnt ship to me

ah they have a min order value for eu

i need like 40 aud order value to hit the minimum, any ideas?

[stray tiger]

2 sets of YIKB stabs

[little glen]

yeah sounds good

could also do a set of stabs and a ws puller

that way i have 2 good puller

[cyan lark]

You can filter by price too https://dailyclack.com/collections/in-stock?sort_by=title-ascending&filter.v.price.gte=40&filter.v.price.lte=50

Maybe not terribly helpful though since I guess it picks up every novelty subkit

[stray tiger]

That sort is horrible lol

[little glen]

honestly 2x stabs doesnt sound too bad

i'll need one anyway if i want to build something in my salvation

[cyan lark]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj2rQaj25h4 You see what I have to work with here 😢

[harsh dove]

I’d say worse than cosmos cause at least cosmos creator said the legends would be subtle / hard to see

[stray tiger]

And they are good stabs

[harsh dove]

Those keycaps are a whole different color

[cyan lark]

Oh the legends we kinda knew beforehand, I'm referring more to the glitter/sparkle looking more like errant dust under most lighting

[little glen]

true, my current 2 boards already have knight v2 in them but doesnt hurt having good stabs on hand

[harsh dove]

You leave my GMK Dust alone

It’s an exclusive set

[little glen]

i like my GMK dust

[cyan lark]

I'm in the cope club too y'know

[harsh dove]

Hahah

[uneven cradle]

BoB set

[stray tiger]

I sold that exact color of Salvation 2 weeks ago

[tropic urchin]

Spring cleaning set 😏

[cyan lark]

It was RNG for me, not upset about it though it wouldn't have been my first choice.

[cyan lark]

You can see some uh... cosmos on my mousepad in the picture 🧹

[tropic urchin]

Thockfather with the words of encouragement 🤣

He said f yo case

[little glen]

279 aud shipped for botanical and bingsu base and 2 yikb stabs

thats pretty damn good

[cyan lark]

Oh I cannot be dissuaded, I find the salv super fun to type on still

[little glen]

i really like my salvation tbh

i did migrate my venom over to the leggera so its kinda unused atm

[cyan lark]

I wish there was a leaf spring 80he case, I'd be all over it

[stray tiger]

No haha, there was a guy on MM asking for that specific case/color and I wanted to help him out

[little glen]

but i want to put an mx board in it i think

[cyan lark]

(if it was even possible 🤷)

[little glen]

also did you see

rng salvation sold out

[tropic urchin]

Timing was funny hehe

[little glen]

us spreading the good word has ended the beauty that was the hundred dollar salvation

[cyan lark]

It didn't end the beauty, it spread it

I still wish one of us had gotten the copper

[little glen]

order placed

this will be enough keycap buying for me for a while i think

[cyan lark]

At least a week or two

[stray tiger]

ive been spending too much money on keyboard stuff

this is all of yall's fault

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=123523.0#top last one until this comes out

[sterile pilot]

i need cool looking keycaps for my black mad60 he

ideally from temu

under $£15

or 10

or 5

[cyan lark]

Maybe cardboard?

[ionic breach]

oh yea those

[sterile pilot]

lol

[ionic breach]

weird deskmats

take a look

[sterile pilot]

these switches are actually really nice tbh

[ionic breach]

i swear both are ai

[little glen]

yeah the deskmats are awful and look ai generated

i just like the color scheme and that it comes with international

[sterile pilot]

i used to get bullied for having redragon k552 blue switch

should i get plain black or anime looking mousepad

[stray tiger]

No clue why someone would bully you for buying a mad60 or an anime mousepad

[little glen]

maybe i'll just give up on the legends at this point and get gmk dragon witch when i feel like it

[keen stratus]

Does the Optimum case fit the OG Wooting 60HE (with the plate mount stabs)? It should, but I want to make sure

[little glen]

then that would finally be my purple keycap set

[uneven cradle]

I want that GMK cubed still

[cyan lark]

Cubed is very cute 🙂

[stray tiger]

Yes

[keen stratus]

Thanks, was interested in getting the Wooting 60 HE+ module just for the screw-in stabs but doesnt seem worth it just for that since I already had the OG 60 HE. I'll just change the case and switches

[little glen]

you can probably try to tune the stock stabs etc as well

make em sound less shit

[stray tiger]

Good call. Plus you can o-ring mount the OG 60HE in the Optimum case as well.

[keen stratus]

Didn't even think about that. I will try that forsure. Thanks for the help

[keen stratus]

I actually replaced the stock plate mount stabs with FL CMMK V3 Plate Mount Stabilizers and tuned them and they seem fine to me atm

[little glen]

nice

[keen stratus]

Do you guys have any recommendations for switches. I'm leaning towards getting the Geon Raw

[little glen]

owlabs ti he

is the go to reccomendation atm

[sacred elm]

gonna build benom for my friend

[chilly mural]

Yay

[fluid ravine]

Ayyy

Dub

White mousepad gonna be gross fast

[sacred elm]

[cyan lark]

White anime pad

[marsh saffron]

Unless your getting a glass pad, don't buy a white mousepad

[sterile pilot]

[sacred elm]

whats your budget?

[marsh saffron]

I always go plain black for cloth pads

[sterile pilot]

ok ty

[tawdry tree]

Fluxes on Ali: https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ex2y6xm The video is nice. Price not so much.

Manufactured by K2

[stray tiger]

I wish them luck. Love competition, but that goes both ways

[harsh dove]

I just don’t think that stability is worth $2 per switch , not like they sound super different from what we have already

[stray tiger]

Did someone post stability tests?

[harsh dove]

No

[stray tiger]

I can honestly say I do not know who K2 is

[harsh dove]

Me neither

[tawdry tree]

Might be Bsun but not sure yet. I asked some people.

[stray tiger]

I do love me some Bsuns

[snow yarrow]

Are the legends somewhat readable in real life compared to pictures or am I fked? (new to ansi layout and gmk dusty blanks set otw)

[tawdry tree]

Didn’t expect to be buying switches more expensive than OG Snakes

🥲

[stray tiger]

Tell me you didnt buy more than a single pack

[tawdry tree]

I’m not a millionaire man. 😂

[stray tiger]

haha I feel you

[tropic urchin]

Wait until Cam’s Area 51 switches arrive

[cyan lark]

They're basically illegible in person. Sorry dude. I can hold them right up to my face and still have to get the light at the right angle to see them.

[stray tiger]

Which switches are those?

[tropic urchin]

Dunno

He keeps taunting us with them tho

Under tight lip seal for now

[stray tiger]

Ohhhh those. They already arrived my man

[tropic urchin]

Not you too

😭

Red flag

[tawdry tree]

New gatekeeperons surely.

[tropic urchin]

Now that would be shocking

[cyan lark]

Flux Premiums, $4/switch

[stray tiger]

Flux pro's $6 each

[cyan lark]

Right I forgot tarriffs

[chilly mural]

Flux pro max $8 each

[snow yarrow]

Oh well, guess its official then, i am fked

[cyan lark]

They are pretty though!

[tropic urchin]

There’s always GMK Selene in 6-9 months

[chilly mural]

nice

[stray tiger]

Duhuk released keycaps to match their switches

[idle warren]

is this cosmos? I might as well get a blank set for 30 bucks because I cant read this at all

[chilly mural]

eggo preggo

[snow yarrow]

Theyre nice, but I feel like colored caps will get old for me pretty fast, i prefer something subtle looking

[cyan lark]

Yes, this is Cosmos

[snow yarrow]

Gmk dark wouldve been the one for me, unfortunately not available anymore 😭

[idle warren]

Do you like them? I love gmk but this set seems underwhelming

[tropic urchin]

Nothing more subtle than GMK cosmos tho

[polar girder]

Broke cope

[idle warren]

Im literally typing this on gmk lol

[polar girder]

lol

[polar girder]

Yeah dark or stealth + blackout

[tulip rapids]

how you like it?

[cyan lark]

I think they're tough to recommend. If they were more legible or the sparkle effect was more noticeable I'd be OK with it, but it's illegible and the effect is pretty minimal.

[idle warren]

GMk is fine for what it is, colors and such are all preference. Right now though I'm using gmk rouge

but they all sound the same to me

[idle warren]

I felt the same honestly. I was interested but the legends and the sparkle made me second guess. Especially since I had pbtfans vior, which always looked dirty/dusty because of the sparks

[tulip rapids]

is it heavier than pbt keycaps?

[idle warren]

You mean the sound or the thickness of the caps themselves? I haven't measures them, but gmk sounds more high pitched compared to pbt

[tulip rapids]

i guess just everything

i never owned gmk keycaps

[idle warren]

Honestly as long as you get good quality keycaps, abs or pbt doesn't matter much in terms on quality. ABS shines faster, but has a higher pitched "clacky" sound compared to pbs, which is more deep. But abs has more vibrant colors

[polar girder]

GMK are quality

Idk why everyone’s over the moon for them tho

But they’re nice.

[idle warren]

GMK is worth it if you like a colorway, but if you're going to get WOB or something boring, there are plently of lower price competitors

like keykobo, which imo rival GMK and are cheaper

[tropic urchin]

For the cost you have to really love a set to pay the GMK tax

[idle warren]

Fax

[tulip rapids]

right now all i got are pbt white wooting keycaps

[tropic urchin]

Some are a little less expensive than others but it can get quite gnarly

[idle warren]

Honestly, if you like how they look, feel and sound

[tulip rapids]

i wouldnt mind getting another set of keycaps

[idle warren]

no need to upgrade

[tropic urchin]

Try exploring the keycap rabbit hole and see if you find anything you like

[polar girder]

I want to try the GMK MTNU PBT

[idle warren]

The keycap rabbithole is finding out everything you like is no longer for sale

[tulip rapids]

they feel good just wondering how gmk would be but theyre expensive

[idle warren]

Im lucky I managed to snag firefly in 2025

[thorn zealot]

time to cop?

[polar girder]

Keyboard nerds are like audiophiles. They love to geek out on minutiae and pretend it matters

[idle warren]

Honestly if you're more budget oriented, just get keykobo. I have both and I love them equally

[polar girder]

Yeah that’s lit

[idle warren]

you save 20-30 bucks depending on the set and it basically sounds and feels the same

PBTFans is also valid, but for that price range I prefer kkb

Unless you want a transluscent set

[tulip rapids]

right now i got the tofu 60 redux acrylic case (see through) with white wooting pbt keycaps

[cyan lark]

The only ones you can trust are the ones that admit it's mostly stupid fun

[idle warren]

Honestly for an acrylic set you can match anything with it. But I personally love blue on pc/arylic/silver boards

[thorn zealot]

also have u guys seen the new swk he switch

[stray tiger]

People ignore the why behind the GMK tax. In addition to getting top quality keycaps in the best possible colors, GMK pays their people a living wage and full benefits, they are manufactured in Germany, they pay commissions to the designers/artists of the sets, and they are heavily involved in the keyboard community, doing events, giveaways, charity work, etc

[tulip rapids]

yeah it was my first mod and it just stood out for me

but next mod im definitely going to try out different colours

[tropic urchin]

They can definitely be a deceptively expensive part of a build that most ppl usually can never fathom

[idle warren]

I gotchu with keycaps

[harsh dove]

For me it's just their ABS quality and signature sound, I've tried other ABS and it's nice but it's not the same

[tropic urchin]

I never thought I’d shell out as much as I did but the novelties demanded a blood tax

[thorn zealot]

@harsh dove how u seen these

[harsh dove]

I just personally enjoy the GMK ABS feel and sound and of course color ways

[tropic urchin]

Definitely GMK caps > flux bc you’ll always use your set or have it on a rotation hehe

[harsh dove]

Other ABS sets don't have the same effect

[tropic urchin]

Clack enjoyer

[harsh dove]

and I don't really care for PBT too much

[idle warren]

GMK looks quite boring, it's really just for the themes/colors

[tropic urchin]

Where’s the homeless tent for GMK enthusiasts

[tulip rapids]

[stray tiger]

Im not a PBT hater, I actually love both depending on the board. Ive got quite a few PBT sets I would never get rid of.

[harsh dove]

I'm not a hater but I'm biased lol

ABS just sounds better to me

[stray tiger]

How is it quite boring if it's for themes/colors? What would make the set not boring?

[harsh dove]

plus GMK got them crisp legends

I hate feathery legends

[idle warren]

I meant as in, they are just keycaps. If you hear all the hype and then get a WOB set. It won't blow you away

But i love nightrunner

[fluid ravine]

Type shyt

[stray tiger]

Oh you meant like WoB. Sure that could be "boring" I guess but I'd call it classic. There is beauty in simplicity.

[harsh dove]

I love my GMK Minimal tbh

Words on the mods instead of symbols

[idle warren]

My favorite set is some budget PC caps from kbd. Honestly I dont even care about price

oops flipped

[stray tiger]

I probably own 4 sets of WoB, maybe 5. Just different variations

[thorn zealot]

i found a (maybe) new he switch that isnt pc pom nylon

[fluid ravine]

Wsp

[thorn zealot]

and no not april fools

[fluid ravine]

Lol

[thorn zealot]

these

[idle warren]

There we go lol

[fluid ravine]

These look familiar

[idle warren]

It is, but GMK to me is their color, and how it pops. I dont own WOB or BOW, but I do love how they look on red/orange boards

[fluid ravine]

@stray tiger hasn't the poeny switches been out for a while now or am I tripping

[stray tiger]

I mean it could be Polyketone but it could also be a typo

[fluid ravine]

[idle warren]

GMK Rouge and firefly are probably my current favorites. But Red Devils R2 is coming up

[thorn zealot]

idk i just found them selling from bowl

[tulip rapids]

not bad not bad

[idle warren]

I cant keep letting gmk get away with it

[idle warren]

It's nice, but black/dark caps show shine faster/ especially if you're going to game on them. Keep this in mind

[fluid ravine]

Gtg, leaving school early for a game

[tropic urchin]

If the gmk set doesn’t make joshiba cry from being too busy then it’s not for me

[fluid ravine]

Cyuh

[idle warren]

later my guy

GMK Zen Pond is very nice

it's just busy enough

[stray tiger]

I do love that set but don't own it.

[idle warren]

Oblo has some in stock, I returned my set because the navy was too dark for me. But I still love it in my heart

[stray tiger]

Embrace the shine. Love the tacky feeling when gaming

[tulip rapids]

its nice

[harsh dove]

I wish GMK would do more sets like Minimal with words for mods instead of symbols

[idle warren]

Funny enough the only set I've shined is PBTFans klein blue. My gmk is still holding strong

Some GMK sets come with Icon kits,

[idle warren]

If you're interested in some sets, Oblotzky is the goat, keygem and candykeys also sell some. If you want keykobo get it from unikeys, its cheaper than other vendors

[stray tiger]

I skipped it because Im not a fan of the UV printed novelties. I typically don't skip a lot of GMK sets I like

[harsh dove]

Yeah UV print turns me off immediately

[idle warren]

Most GMK novelties are UV printed though aren't they? I'm not a novelty guy but some set (The black with weird legends) rubbed off really fast for people

[tulip rapids]

i appreciate this thanks

[idle warren]

I gotchu

[tulip rapids]

what keycaps you have on the top keeb?

[harsh dove]

GMK Minimal

[idle warren]

Looks like minimal

yup

[harsh dove]

best BOW set there is

lol

[idle warren]

redacted also slaps ngl

[harsh dove]

I have that too

[stray tiger]

Not most but it's becoming more common.

[analog mulch]

hey guys, are the gateron ruby good? are they louder or quieter then jade pro?

[idle warren]

I don't remember a set with novelties that aren't UV printed, at least from 2022 onwards. might be my memory failling me though

[little glen]

i still got the mictlan novelties even tho i knew they were uv printed cause i knew i was gonna put it on keys i dont use much and i really liked the design

[idle warren]

I have to say this though, GMK Rouge on a purple Kei SLAPS

it's the perfect colormatch

[stray tiger]

Plus I think expo and terminal are fully UV printed, which sucks because they look sweet

[polar girder]

I would buy Minimal WoB rn

[idle warren]

Expo, that was the one I was refering to. That set had some QC issues with the pad printing

[harsh dove]

Yeah I just like it cause no icons on mods

just words

[idle warren]

gmk claims that their UV lasts for years, but that set had issues after months

[round sparrow]

Quieter i think, there should be some videos on youtube comparing them

[idle warren]

I prefer Icons only, but honestly I don't care too much about it. Dixie mods, icon + text, just text etc

im good with all

[idle warren]

Such a clean set

[harsh dove]

I swear all my poor PBT sets, just sit in their boxes

[stray tiger]

This is why I ordered Bingsu earlier

[tulip rapids]

[cyan lark]

I think redacted ||is a bit silly||

[idle warren]

You got it from dailyclack no? They still have bento in stock. Im so close to buying that

[harsh dove]

I think I got mine on sale

[idle warren]

my gmk sits on the shelf too 😦

[stray tiger]

Yeah i did, the price was WAY to good to pass up. $68 for base set

[harsh dove]

I just haven't had a board where I like my PBT sets yet

except my MX build

[idle warren]

My favorite set rn is masterpiece, good luck finding one that isnt scalped or shined to oblivion 😦

[polar girder]

Now I know what I want

Thanks

[stray tiger]

Are you in the US? I'll make you a good deal on Bento if you are.

[polar girder]

I was torn between symbols and/or words

That’s the vibe for sure

[harsh dove]

Yeah its just clean

[idle warren]

Europe, which means that bento and other rare sets are pretty rare

[stray tiger]

rip sorry man. Ive got a bento r1 set with the chopsticks kit and kobe kit

[tulip rapids]

i give you three frogs for your keycap set

[idle warren]

I'm going to let you guys on a secret, Keykobo soju absolutely slaps as a budget masterpiece/ space cadet 2.0

stunning set

[idle warren]

All good, I appreciate it. I can buy from them directly, but I'm not sure if bento is the vibe rn

Let me see if I can find mine, 1 sec

[harsh dove]

Nah it's the only BOW set I own

lol

[stray tiger]

I was saying earlier today that Ive had bad luck with the KKB sets I bought. I did sell the last set I got here before I even had a chance to mount them though.

[analog mulch]

ok thank you, im thinking of buying them to see

[round sparrow]

They are not that different from jade pros, and more expensive. But they look rly good imo even if most of the time you wont see them, unless you have a holy case or something similar@analog mulch

[idle warren]

My lighting absolutely doesn’t do it justice but it slaps

[tulip rapids]

[idle warren]

This on a silver board is chefs kiss

[cyan lark]

That's pretty. It's also a minor thing in the grand scheme, but KKB comes in nice cases rather than already deteriorating paper 🙂

[stray tiger]

Is that the new packing for KKB sets? No longer the long tray?

[polar girder]

Yeah just killed GMK stealth + blackout for me

Need a GMK dark r2 lol

[cyan lark]

That's what I got for extensions, the base for me was the big tray w/ the clasps

[idle warren]

Here is rouge on the kei

[stray tiger]

Just get NovelKeys Cherry Charcoal and call it a day

[idle warren]

Its the child kit package, this is for the hangul. The blue box under it is the standard kit. But they did change how their kit opens. They no longer have the tabs

[polar girder]

Symbols. Gross.

[stray tiger]

Ahh ok. That was something else that annoyed me. The big ass trays. Like my original GMK plastic trays. Ugh

[idle warren]

I always throw away my gmk potato trays. Only ones I keep are from KKB and pbtfans

[stray tiger]

the PBtfans trays are the best ones hands down

[idle warren]

True that, DMK ones are meh. But but PBTFans dimensions are weird for storage sometimes

Keykobo has the slimest ones

[stray tiger]

Yeah but the length means you cant fit them in a cubby shelf and shipping them sucks trying to find a box

[idle warren]

Honestly at this point I think we have too many sets

speaking of which, Im going to buy a set I find really ugly. But also love. GMK Boulder

It speaks to me on a level I cant explain. It's ugly but beautiful

[stray tiger]

This size speaks to my OCD

[idle warren]

Fitment 10/10 though

[stray tiger]

Fits in the Ikea shelves perfectly

[idle warren]

I like how most of the sets are still sealed too.

Digital nightmares is such a sleeper, I see no one use it

[stray tiger]

Gotta buy em just in case! Never know when the perfect board comes along

[idle warren]

[tropic urchin]

Nice Cuban

[idle warren]

Tell me I have an issue without telling me

[stray tiger]

I wish I had picked up FTRO. I think its the only set that Riley designed that I didnt get

[idle warren]

Can you blame me though, Peaches and cream lite, burple, gmk shadow, rudy, bnoulder, villanelle, coral there are so many sets

[idle warren]

Is it sold out?

Base kit on oblo, no alert though

[stray tiger]

Base kits are avail, no one has the mods, which is what sets that off

[idle warren]

The yellow does make it pop, you can always try MM to see if you can snatch one

[stray tiger]

hah, last time it came up a few months ago guy wanted $100 for it lol

[idle warren]

its 70 bucks on oblo (Before it sold out) 30 bucks extra. hmmmm if you really it I would get it

Lubed springs are silent, which is why I always lube them

[peak breach]

i have gmk redline, gmk monochrome r2 and gmk red samurai

for now

[idle warren]

No need to hand lube them though, just tub lube them

Red samurai is nice, it was my first gmk set

[peak breach]

mine too lmao

[idle warren]

I think it was for a lot of people because the covid craze

everyone was building with that set

[harsh dove]

unless they're geon pingless then yeah

I use my geon pingless dry

and they pretty good

[peak breach]

it's just babys first gmk set

[polar girder]

Yo why my stabs kind of tough

[idle warren]

I feel like WOB is the first set for most people, if you exclude the covid builders

[harsh dove]

Never hurts to lube springs tho

[polar girder]

Knight v2 with krytox only

Enter and backspace too much resistance

[harsh dove]

tough?

[idle warren]

You can shun and shame me. But after tub lubing my nixie stems. I am never going to lube again

manually lube*

[harsh dove]

Randomly out of nowhere or you just installed them?

[polar girder]

After fresh install

[harsh dove]

Lol nah don't worry lot of people don't like hand lubing

[polar girder]

Take apart and retry?

[stray tiger]

Red samurai used to be so popular and now I feel like it's slept on

[harsh dove]

Yeah and try another keycap if you have em

but just double check to make sure they installed and seated properly

[polar girder]

Yeah I triple checked the bottom holes

[idle warren]

I don't have the patience for it anymore. The switch that broke me was the OG Lekkers though. Spring swapped and lubing wasnt too bad. But putting films on was pure terror

[polar girder]

And was diligent about wire and stuff but will do

[harsh dove]

and the wire is inserted into the stem correctly too?

oh okay

[polar girder]

I think so

[idle warren]

It took me 7 hours to L.SS.F them

[polar girder]

But idk I’m noob

[harsh dove]

Yeah Knights are usually super easy tbh, I haven't had issues unless it was from the plate

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah don't do films on HE switches

[idle warren]

Did you overlube them?

[harsh dove]

I don't think so, he just used Krytox

but possible

[stray tiger]

The trick I have done is to install the stab keycaps before I tighten the plate screws that way if the stabs are binding anywhere with the custom plate, it fixes that usually @polar girder

[harsh dove]

Ahh that's a good idea actually

[idle warren]

It's hard to do with krytox, but he said he was new. Could be fitment issues maybe

[uneven cradle]

WoB

[harsh dove]

Right yeah cause Krytox is so thin

[idle warren]

Chad dualshot enjoyer

[harsh dove]

I need to steal that geonworks box

so disappointed

[uneven cradle]

I still need to pick up the accents

[stray tiger]

Such a good set

[harsh dove]

Yeah Dualshot one of my faves and I'm not even using it rn

smh

[idle warren]

Dualshot and redline are such bangers

[harsh dove]

I need to grab GMK Deepwell but idek what board I'd put it on

[idle warren]

Welcome to the hobby champ. Got more keycaps than boards😭

[harsh dove]

Redline is nice too

[harsh dove]

Literally

[idle warren]

Alright lets keep it real though, what are your favorite keycaps?

[stray tiger]

I havent been successful pairing redline with my current boards.

[uneven cradle]

His and hers

[stray tiger]

Fav colorways?

[idle warren]

Fav set of all time. Doesnt matter what brand

[idle warren]

Looks cute!

[idle warren]

Redline looks great on a dark grey board

That's what I would personally pair it with

[stray tiger]

All time would be Olivia and Copper. My most used sets

[harsh dove]

I don't have a favorite of all time I don't think cause I'm always swapping keycaps but I like Olivia

[stray tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/that's-my-boy-marcus-burnett-bad-boys-ride-or-die-my-man-proud-dad-gif-15805754809248830293

[idle warren]

I remember the Olivia craze, Copper is a rare set though. I don't see that one often

[harsh dove]

[idle warren]

😂

[harsh dove]

Olivia is just so clean

and I have the Novelkeys Copper set

not the GMK one

[idle warren]

light or dark base though

[harsh dove]

Really like that one actually, probs one of my fave PBT sets

[idle warren]

Copper is Copper, it doesnt matter which brand

[harsh dove]

Light

[idle warren]

Its such a clean set

[untold wigeon]

The og one ?

[harsh dove]

From FatBoyCarney

[idle warren]

White keycaps scare me so much, like E-white boards. I wash my hands often but I feel like they will be dirty if I just look at them

[untold wigeon]

Wow

Cam can I rob you in broad day light

[harsh dove]

haha no

[untold wigeon]

Please

I said please

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah I feel that

E Coating scares me

[stray tiger]

I felt that

[idle warren]

👉 👈

[polar girder]

Yeah just light clear layer wherever SW said to put it

[harsh dove]

Maybe one day

[polar girder]

It’s almost like I can feel the wire against the silicone on the inside or something

Idk

[idle warren]

Guess who has an E-coated board in the mail though

[harsh dove]

Definitely not you

I already dinged my Cream Leggera

but I don't wanna talk about it

[idle warren]

I dont think its a user error then, I'm assuming its on the wooting?

[harsh dove]

Over here feeling like Bigsly

Not as bad tho

[untold wigeon]

Maybe one day one night I’ll have cams frog mini

[harsh dove]

Oh yeah I dinged that awhile back too

with my Salvation

Salvation took no damage

while the Frog got smacked

[untold wigeon]

Cam are u selling salvation

[harsh dove]

Nah it's just chillin rn

[untold wigeon]

Novel sold out

[harsh dove]

on display

[untold wigeon]

DAMNIT

[idle warren]

Rookie mistake not getting a silver one

[untold wigeon]

Stop hogging the good cases cam

[harsh dove]

I have silver frog mini already

[untold wigeon]

Sharing is caring

[harsh dove]

so I got cream lol

But silver is the way

for me usually

[idle warren]

I bought a linen kbdfans mergo, I hope the coating doesn't feel horrendous

[polar girder]

Venom 60 he and Geon alu plate

[untold wigeon]

Do you have wooting

[uneven cradle]

Frogged up

[idle warren]

That should work, weird. The wooting gave me issues with aftermarket stabs

[untold wigeon]

What color do you have cam for salvation

[polar girder]

With TTC POM and regular knight v2 w/stem spacer

[harsh dove]

just the black one

nice and simple

[untold wigeon]

Wow

Please join mech market

[idle warren]

I used to have one, I sold it though because I hate traymount

[harsh dove]

hahah

[untold wigeon]

I’ll give you both my cases

And both my dogs

[harsh dove]

You're using silicone pad?

[polar girder]

No

[idle warren]

Get a random salvation from novelkeys and get it cerakoated to the color you like (big brain time)

[polar girder]

Geon Foam tho

[untold wigeon]

He’s actually looking for a new home

[polar girder]

I think I had same thing without it tho and pp plate

[harsh dove]

Oh okay, but no plate foams or anything?

[untold wigeon]

Cam this for frog mini

[harsh dove]

That's only one dog

not two

[untold wigeon]

Let me send

[idle warren]

If you drink enough, it turns into 2 dogs

[untold wigeon]

Gg

[idle warren]

Thats a fox

[harsh dove]

Hmm, I'm surprised you're having any issues with the stabs and alu plate tbh

[idle warren]

you cant trick me

[untold wigeon]

Surprising enough she bit a fox for no apparent reason

[idle warren]

I swear I cant type with lighter springs after I got used to heavy ones

[untold wigeon]

She’s like 1 pound bro

Cam

[idle warren]

Chad dog

[untold wigeon]

Deal

[harsh dove]

Me neither

When I first got my Duhuk Core HE switches, I thought I had to relearn how to type

[thorn zealot]

are u this desparate for getting a new kb

[untold wigeon]

I want frog mini

Badly

[thorn zealot]

just get leggera g

thought u have a venom

[untold wigeon]

Since geon won’t restock

[idle warren]

Im on 42g bottom out SS HMX 1989's. This feels and sounds so odd after using my ss nixies

[untold wigeon]

I do have venom but frog mini is just better

[harsh dove]

Ah yeah that's what the Duhuks were, 42g bottom out

[thorn zealot]

no?

[cyan lark]

Forever chasing the dragon

[harsh dove]

super light to me

[thorn zealot]

there are on par

[idle warren]

Leggera is basically the frog mini with no brass honestly

[harsh dove]

yeah and no tadpole mount

[idle warren]

It's great if you type all day, no fatigue at all

I prefer O ring to tadpole ngl

[harsh dove]

me too tbh

seems more consistent

[untold wigeon]

Thing is with leggera

I need to use super buy

[polar girder]

Yeah it’s lame

[idle warren]

True that, that's why im designing a custom case with for the venom60 he. O Ring is the way

[polar girder]

Unnecessary resistance

On top of these heavy ass springs

[untold wigeon]

And last time I used them I payed 30 in shipping for full venom

[polar girder]

[thorn zealot]

whats super buy

[harsh dove]

Do they feel like sluggish?

[idle warren]

If your springs are heavy just spring swap em, it shouldnt take too long

[untold wigeon]

Forwarding agent

[polar girder]

Slightly but mostly just heavy

[thorn zealot]

oh

[polar girder]

Like I have 100g springs or something

[harsh dove]

you tried using a different keycap already?

[idle warren]

Doesnt Geon do international? I spent 120 with taxes total to europe

[untold wigeon]

Is this case nice

[polar girder]

No

[untold wigeon]

Guys

[polar girder]

I’m at work

[thorn zealot]

whats the name of the case

[polar girder]

I don’t like it

[harsh dove]

One thing I noticed recently with some long pole switches and standard stabs was that if my keycap was even slightly off center, it made the stabilizer feel sluggish, I ended up using some geon stem spacers and it fixed it, idk if you might be having a similar issue?

[polar girder]

I have Geon stem spacers on all stabs rn

[idle warren]

Gives me norse vibes, but I personally prefer a cleaner look

[harsh dove]

Oh okay

[thorn zealot]

its a bit too flashy to me if thats the right word

[untold wigeon]

Yj60

[idle warren]

Let me introduce you to the aaru65

[thorn zealot]

yeah no

i want to look at my screen when playing

not my kb

[idle warren]

If you want a no frills case for your wooting. Get the PSD60 or tofu60. Depending on typing angle, they won't be fancy but they work. There are also cheap holy60 acrylic clones on aliexpress for 20 bucks

[idle warren]

You gotta look at the keeb during halftime and loading screens

[thorn zealot]

im alr on venom and leggera

[thorn zealot]

oh yes ofc

[idle warren]

I meant for Mario, I think he's looking for a case

[thorn zealot]

oh mb

[idle warren]

all good, leggera is nice though,i wish it was 6 degrees though

cant get used to the 5

damn I cant type fr rn

[polar girder]

I have a spare psd60 gasket chilling rn doing nothing

Lolz

[rapid scarab]

Anybody know a good source of clicky hall effect switches that work with wooting keyboards. I was looking into finally upgrading my wooting 2 with flaretech clicky55 blues, and noticed everything on wooting's site are linear switches

Full sob story here: https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1355479186671796254

[untold wigeon]

Not psd60

It’s poop

Wooting 60he with daughter board when

[idle warren]

I actually loved mine ngl, did need to mod it a lot. But for a basic case it does the job

[idle warren]

Doesnt the gasket version come with a plate that doesnt work with the wooting?

[idle warren]

I don't think you have clickies for HE, closest that comes to mind are the raeds He which is tactile-ish linear EC switches

Yeah those seem to be made to mimic membrane keyboards

Not really what I'm looking for

[idle warren]

kinda membrane, I would say like NIZ. But you make a good point

I dont think you have any other options due to the nature of HE.

Tofu60 redux is a great simple case

I think it's the cheapest one but IMO it's the best

Actually GH60 is the cheapest nvm

[polar girder]

Yeah lolz

And no one I could find has plate file to make a Wooting one

And shipping back to China was damn near what I paid for the thing after I bought it so RIP

chilling in my basement now lol

[low thistle]

My GT-80 came in today! I’ll need to find time to swap my keyboard over.

[thorn zealot]

ik

but venom + leggera g is more fun and lovely

[cedar gate]

Looks too low profile imo plus you could easily friction mount the tofu with a 5$ gasket

[thorn zealot]

i did gummy mount with my redux when i used wooting

but my new venom build imo sounds much better

and looks better imo

[harsh dove]

I'd replace the Tofu with the Leggera as a cheap case option tbh

[idle warren]

At this point I would just drill holes in the plate to make it work lol

tofu is 70-80ish total price, leggera is 120 with taxes

[harsh dove]

$120?

[idle warren]

At least that's the price difference I paid

shipping + VAT

[harsh dove]

Mine was $69 + like $13 shipping

[idle warren]

I love europe🫡

[uneven cradle]

Was about $110 for me with shipping

[harsh dove]

Tuan covered shipping for me so it was only $69

but I remember him saying it was only like $13

[idle warren]

120 euro's so if you convert to usd its a bit worse

[harsh dove]

Yeah

But yeah either way, Tofu or Leggera are good options

if you don't get Tofu weight

[uneven cradle]

Leggera does come with the travel case which is nice

[harsh dove]

Yeah that's true

[polar girder]

I just bought frog mini instead and said fuck it lol

Will pass it to someone else that wants a project

Bro guys I got ketchup on my mouse pad but chat I cleaned it

[harsh dove]

We told you stop eating at the desk

[rare kraken]

I was eating on the chair but to put ketchup on the plate I put it on the desk

[tidal frigate]

Thats not how you clean mouse pad

[rare kraken]

No drying it

[harsh dove]

He's steaming it

lol

[tidal frigate]

You have to air Dry

[harsh dove]

Yeah I put mine on a hanger in my closet

[rare kraken]

I’ve been drying it like this for a year I think Ik what im doing

[harsh dove]

and let em dry

[harsh dove]

Aye if it works for you, keep at it

don't let nobody tell you otherwise

[rare kraken]

Ye it dries the mousepad mad fast but it smells like burnt stuff

[idle warren]

Well when you have a frog mini the psd does suck lol. best to just sell it or gift it to someone

[harsh dove]

Yeah you might be cooking the rubber or fibers a bit if its too hot

or just the smell of warm mousepad

[idle warren]

A true mousepad enjoyer (SHOCKING)

[harsh dove]

Everytime I see (shocking) I think of Boardzy and I don't like that

[idle warren]

That's why I said it, Boardzy the goat

my mans is definitly living the goblin life though
