Nah

Like what

[thorn zealot]

[night atlas]

akko astrolinks sound nice

are they just raw lcones

clones*

[thorn zealot]

i think they more like owlab clone/recolor

[night atlas]

i see i see

[flint spire]

can someone help me with my wooting problem? keyboard won't detect enter key and no graph movement shown in analog-monitor.wootility.io then buggy with the right shift key, i've tried to unplug 5 seconds not touching anything after replugging, troubleshooting on wootily web, changing switches, keyboard restoring/ reset on wootily.

[harsh dove]

It do look good

[thorn zealot]

reminds me of mode kbs

[fluid ravine]

@kind helm @harsh dove

@stray tiger

Def need diff screws

And yeh def heavier

2.54 lbs

Just to show and compare

[kind helm]

recording 3 uses YIKB, spacebar at 19 second. for whatever reason, yikb spacebar sounds a tiny bit more harsh

[fluid ravine]

What plate?

[kind helm]

both same caps same switch same plate

[fluid ravine]

PP?

[kind helm]

alu

[fluid ravine]

Oh

Idk why I guessed PP

But it does sound like a Alu space bar I can't lie

[kind helm]

this makes me want to get another set of cherry clip ins

[kind helm]

for my salv

or maybe i just need more lube. i just dislike it for sounding too harsh

[glacial wind]

Oh shit, you guys seeing the meletrix stuff

[fluid ravine]

Wsp?

[glacial wind]

Don't install anything from them

they sent out a mass email about some desktop software upgrade and it might be spyware

people not sure what's going on because it came from the official meletrix mailer but speculation of someone at meletrix got hacked or other issues

it's even worse than it seems because it's not 'appears to come from Meletrix' - it 100% came from meletrix themselves which could mean someone in their team has a compromised account that is injecting spyware into peoples computers

was the email that got sent out by them

[chilly mural]

RIP

[glacial wind]

supposedly if you install it people are saying it grabs stored passwords and your cookies and sends it to a remote server

so this is a big hack. Honestly meletrix software has been dodgy in the past already with how their software wasn't properly signed etc but this is so much worse

[tropic urchin]

That actually looks decently well done for a phish

[glacial wind]

it's not a phish is the problem

it came directly from meletrix official email

so someone at meletrix has a compromised account and sent this out officially to the entire meletrix mailing list

[tropic urchin]

Unless they were planning to do something like that, they put some effort into it vs most just have it as a Nigerian prince scam where it doesn’t look very convincing

That’s fucked

[glacial wind]

i always thought their software distribution was scuffed before when I had to get the zoom75 software working but man this is bad for them

[thorn zealot]

What’s that suppose to mean

[glacial wind]

we found the culprit, get him!

he thought he could hide in plain sight

[thorn zealot]

No no

U guys are buggin

[glacial wind]

fbi has been made aware

[thorn zealot]

Straight tweakin

[stray tiger]

Can confirm, did get the email

[calm pulsar]

have you made any stunning desktop art yet

[stray tiger]

I mentioned this a few weeks ago but there is another keyboard company who may have had some concerns with tracking user keystrokes. One report was related to the keyboard itself capturing the input and transferring the data when connected to their web software and the other was that it was being captured if you left the web software open and connected. Not sure if it's been confirmed either way.

[stray tiger]

Not yet, the software didn't work right, even installed it with admin permissions like it asked for.

[glacial wind]

a lot of these chinese keyboard brands have the most scuffed software release methods lol

i remember downloading some zoom75 software for the keyboard way back and it was a random guy uploading unsigned software to discord

[chilly mural]

make do with what they have lmao

[stray tiger]

I felt that way about the QK60 software

[tawdry tree]

1: fake silent switch (⚠️do not trust Gateron’s marketing!⚠️)
2 - 5: aren’t silent switches.
6 - 7: Glorious’ shit is overpriced af (basically gamakay silent phoenix recolors)
8: not silent
9: not silent
10: not silent
11: not silent + outdated af
12: good option but do note that they block all lighting, so no RGB will show with these installed.
13: not compatible with woot’s boards
14: not a terrible option but I’d recommend Haimu silents (sold by MATHEW store on Ali) over them.
15: never heard of
16: doesn’t exist
17: never heard of
18: never heard of
19: raeds again
20: never heard of

[tawdry tree]

not rly a clone of anything unless you’d consider all switches with the same materials clones of each other. they’re manufactured by HMX.

[night atlas]

Naw I wouldn’t jump to that conclusion, it was just a loose guess based on looks is all

nothing too srs

[tawdry tree]

Who would’ve thought? They’re in series too, so if one breaks, the whole row is done for.. 💀

Innovation!

[chilly mural]

waow

I think they should've done like a 2 layer plate. Take off the one with LED if you want to change the switch

[trail bane]

[ripe tulip]

finally

[chilly mural]

yey

[sacred elm]

😳

[safe stag]

at what price

[chilly mural]

Lmao, they make you recolor jade pro

[safe stag]

jade max but with a pom stem

maybe

[chilly mural]

Maybe running out of reason to recolor the jades

[sacred elm]

[chilly mural]

But if it allows you to make pom. I guess it's nice

[safe stag]

I hope we'll be able to change material and not just color

[chilly mural]

Also magnet quality

[safe stag]

wdym

[chilly mural]

Like, less fluctuation to allow for 0.001mm rt

[sacred elm]

ok

[chilly mural]

In any case, finally gateron trying to add something new to the market

[gusty patio]

not expecting too much there

[sacred elm]

i doubt youll be able to change materials, it will be just recolor of jade pros

cringe

[trail bane]

You know what, it’s time to mess around with the G102.

[sacred elm]

Yea, get some nice coffin for it ⚰️

[vivid star]

Same issue here - kinda hate it. Thought Knights V3 would be endgame for me.

Thinking of trying YIKB stabs next. Any thoughts?

[trail bane]

Soap g102 in finalmouse/wlmouse performance💀. Holes to many holes

[safe stag]

even logitech mice don't perform well any more.
my g502x has already started to lose its rubber.

sad for a brand that was doing quite well a few years ago

[sacred elm]

other brands wipe ass with logitech nowadays, but pros still use it🤓 ☝️

[safe stag]

that's what their marketing told you

"pro x tkl rapid"

[sweet oak]

🥀

So true

[trail bane]

Just because the Contrast

For stu people the labels like “from pros for pros,” “the choice of professionals,” and a bunch of team logos will be a stronger argument than actual numbers from some Wooting that less than 20% of people use.

[sacred elm]

wooting is doing great, its most used by pros in both val and cs

[harsh dove]

I said this would be a problem lol

every day is the same if you wake up by dunking your face into a fresh mineral water ice bowl according to tiktok

has to be done at 3 am in the morning though

[glacial wind]

needs to be saratoga water as well i'm pretty sure

Yes, at 5:49am

everyday.

Needs to be Saratoga

[glossy pagoda]

Jed only a peasant would use the same brand of water for the ice cubes as the water

[sacred elm]

fluxes delivered 🥀

[tropic urchin]

🌹

[glacial wind]

that's what happens. First you let your tiktok algo become incorrect by rejecting amazing lens review videos, then you buy $200 fluxes

it all starts with the correct tiktok algo

[sacred elm]

not watching lens reviews man😭

[tropic urchin]

Based rejection

[glacial wind]

maybe he just hasn't seen the right tiktok lens reviews yet

[tropic urchin]

Why spend $2k+ on a hobby he doesn’t like, when he can spend $200 on a hobby he does

[sacred elm]

real

[tropic urchin]

That’s the equivalent of saying to a gay person they haven’t found the right one yet what

[glacial wind]

you're 100% rght. He should start with $200 lenses. His biggest mistake was spending $2k on the wrong non lens hobbies

varedis puts it in a way we can all agree with

[sacred elm]

[thorn zealot]

🥀

[sacred elm]

cant test fluxes until tuesday🥀

[glacial wind]

Test for you: https://www.tiktok.com/@watzac/video/7370152136392346886

[glossy pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/brilliant-i-like-this-top-gear-jeremy-clarkson-richard-hammond-gif-18951630

[glacial wind]

they'll always favor venom in the custom community, even though both keyboards have their pluses

[tropic urchin]

Search up his name in this discord and artisan discord and you’ll see his takes

[sacred elm]

tigerlite benom gud, but definitely prefer my 80he

people overglaze it sometimes

software is meh

[glacial wind]

venom = geon = custom community is more open minded to a HE option because it's geon. that's just how it works

[tropic urchin]

That’s bc they have $75 dolla and not $150 dolla

[glacial wind]

the same way I saw a lot of guys who would never try HE switches suddenly tried the geon lucifer he switches that were just recolored old box stem HE switches

[sacred elm]

bro but the 7u option ☝️ 🤓

get off my screen

[tropic urchin]

I’d like a 7u option but I’m not gonna trip over not having it

[glacial wind]

i like both, but venom is definitely for a more specific demo than the wooting after building a couple for friends

[sacred elm]

lol

[thorn zealot]

Yeah they just said that wooting overpriced and slightly more software features than venom

[sacred elm]

you can call me a weirdo but i definitely prefer 6.25u

[thorn zealot]

Yuck

[tropic urchin]

Imagine not overcompensating for your space bar size

Giga yuck

Nothing wrong with people sharing preferences and having differences in perceived value between Wooting and GEON

Wooting 🤝 Geon

Wooting X Geon 60HE Pro 16k polling rate

[sacred elm]

0.05ms latency

[calm pulsar]

Gooting

[glacial wind]

very true. @sacred elm you can't cut corners. You'll need to buy the fx3 camera instead of starting with a budget option

[sacred elm]

i dont even have a camera man

😭

[glossy pagoda]

Goonting

[glacial wind]

fx3 is a good place to start then. Start at $5k and you'll start at the endgame

[sweet oak]

special edition wooting x geon 100k polling 100% gasket basket mounted

[sacred elm]

basket mount

[vivid star]

Yeah … I realized my Zoompad Tiga came with recolored PAIGU stabs.

I might give them a shot on my Wooting - they actually work surprisingly well. Not as "tight" as the Knight V3s, but decent enough without any other issues.

LEBRON COLLAB

[tropic urchin]

Not true you do have your phones camera

[sacred elm]

ok let me buy 2k$ lens to put it on my iphone camera

[calm pulsar]

“lebron reportedly forgot to enable rapid trigger on his hall effect keyboard” 🤦‍♂️

[sterile dagger]

so my fps can die more lets go

[sacred elm]

nah

keyboard barely affects fps

[sterile dagger]

still i wouldnt set keyboard polling to anything more than 2 or 4k tbh

after that its basically useless

8k is a gimmick

[sacred elm]

why wouldnt you set it on 8k if it doesnt affect performance

[sterile dagger]

i didnt mean set

wrong word

i meant that i wouldnt mind a keyboard that was really good but only had 2k or 4k polling

like it wouldnt matter to me

[kind helm]

i dont think it is fair to say 8k is a gimmick. it it just not useful currently since other hardwares/softwares can't keep up, causing 8k to perform worse

higher is better objectively if everything works as expected

[glossy pagoda]

Difference between 1k and 8k is slight, but in the right circumstances can be impactful.

Thing with 2k or 4k is that there is literally no point to not do 8k; both require USB high speed so you might as well

[calm pulsar]

or if you’re a gamer like me and can feel each individual herz

[glossy pagoda]

[kind helm]

i need to get some breakfast, that rainbow looks delicious to me rn wtf

[uneven cradle]

It's a lot more noticeable on a mouse and even on that it's barely noticeable especially above 2k

[sterile dagger]

i keep my mouse on 2k for battery life

[uneven cradle]

Anyway best lag reduction you're gonna get is moving your location right next to the server for your favorite game

[sterile dagger]

well yeah and switching from a regular keyboard to a he one

[snow yarrow]

I dont know how I could forget to mention this about the gt60, but aside from the no profiles, the most annoying thing is the fact that there is RT on for all keys by default and theres no way to turn it off.
I remember thinking "wtf?..whatever" and set rt to 0.1 for all keys and set the keys around wasd to 2mm actuation point. I'd then sometimes get accidental presses on the keys around wasd, even though the actuation point was so high.. After some tinkering I noticed the rt being activated on all keys as the culprit, so i set it to 0.5 rt for all keys around wasd, no accidental presses since..

Why is this a thing? No clue, extremely questionable decision, since RT is basically dynamic actuation points, right? No profiles and rt on for all keys, its like they want you to use this pcb strictly for nothing other than gaming
@thorn zealot @polar girder

If someone asks about this pcb again, feel free to direct them to my last msgs

[polar girder]

Cooked

[glacial wind]

it's cause software is expensive so like a lot of companies they don't spend as much time on it once it's 'good enough'

the more customization and features you want the more expensive it gets to build and maintain and bug fix etc

[sacred elm]

can you even use other switches on gt60

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/984799440072220692/1353783186236113037/ZomboMeme_24032025181625.jpg?ex=68033517&is=6801e397&hm=8b7a869dd7f1e32871c9b6682568782a49117cd6ba80a7e53a572c906cbc5fba&

without gateron switches precision will be 0.1mm instead of advertised 0.01 or whatever

[tropic urchin]

Lame type shii

They don’t have the mahjong sound anymore, they sound like wobbly sadness now

[sacred elm]

mahjong hifi is waiting for me at home but i cant 😭 🥀

[tropic urchin]

It’s actually true this time

Mx sound profile 🫦

[tropic urchin]

Mr arc says so, so I trust his instincts

[snow yarrow]

You can, but 0.01 rt was not stable for me with wooting poms

They actually almost had me with their bs, i was so close to ordering some gateron switches, but fk that

[sacred elm]

thats their firmwares fault i think

[snow yarrow]

Also, 0.01 actuation and 0.1 actuation point felt identical to me personally

[sacred elm]

poms should be stable with 0.01rt

[fallen pecan]

iirc gat gamings are only stable til 0.02

[snow yarrow]

Would be my guess too, no way their switches are more stable than ttc koms

I think in mioni's video on it, he says they announced 0.004 rt in a future update

[sacred elm]

oh gl with that with their switches lmao, none of them are as/or more stable than poms

[snow yarrow]

Overall, I'd say wooting is still king, its so easy to recommend to friends&family

If it weren't for wooting, we would still be living in the dark ages of the keyboard equivalent of intels quad core cpu times

[chilly mural]

yeh

wooting is goat, even if everybody said 60he/2he is not as performant as competitors

[snow yarrow]

Only exception is the benom ofc, they seem to put a lot of work in their software, god bless em

[sacred elm]

still worse than wootility

tried it couple days ago, not using that daily

im good

[kind helm]

you hop on wootility daily?

sheesh

[sacred elm]

Yes

[snow yarrow]

Wootility is goated, even my friends that know barely how to boot their pc can find their way around the software

I love the fact that i dont have to be their tech support

[thorn zealot]

What a good pcb

[marsh saffron]

Oh no muh microseconds 😭

[sacred elm]

oh no i lost a gunfight because my wooting 60he is 1ms instead of 0.12ms🥀

[marsh saffron]

If my strafe was 0.6ms faster with 0.002 less actuation I wouldn't have died

[cyan lark]

If I was able to configure 0.001mm RT my wife would not have left me for another man.

[chilly mural]

you know, I think touch capacitive pad connected to an 8khz board + faux SOCD would prop be as performant.

[sacred elm]

only people high on spectrum will say that

[calm pulsar]

tarkov where if you carry heavy gear you literally have like 200-400ms extra latency on your moves☠️

no actuation, just your finger hovering over a copper sheet

Gday folks! Very new to this world of Keyboards. I am on the hunt for a Full sized HE KB with an alluminum body that will allow me to swap switches. A Barebones would be best as I want to use Jade Pros. I recently bought a piifox walker 68 and love the feel of it and the jades, but not the form factor.

Also sorry if this is the wrong channel

Can you put keycaps from a random brand onto a wooting keyboard

[glossy pagoda]

Yes

[glossy pagoda]

Full size HE keyboard with an aluminum case is a tricky request

[cinder kiln]

I have that one

But how is it tricky?

[covert whale]

Exactly. They have them but most are not compatible with swapable switches

[covert whale]

What do you have Xam?

[glossy pagoda]

Not many full size keyboards with aluminum cases, none that I know of which are also hall effecet

[covert whale]

I may be forced to a 75 with a numpad

[cinder kiln]

Wooting Two HE

[covert whale]

Ive seen this but it only supports specific switches

I believe it's only lekkers

[cinder kiln]

No i mean keycaps

[glossy pagoda]

W2HE supports most HE switches

https://discordapp.com/channels/167181566978555904/1103459740186595399/1267494266545111082
Non-exclusive list here

[covert whale]

Yes I get what you are saying. I am looking for swapping switches. Two different things 😄

[cinder kiln]

Ok

[covert whale]

So it says Wooting supports jades. I assume thats jade pro as well. Unfortunately Wooting doesnt have the full alluminum body Im looking for but I am quite sure anything will be better than this Logitech G512 I have at work. ROFL

At home like I said I have been using a Piifox which is pretty dope.

[thorn zealot]

that list is outdated but yes jade pros do work

[sweet oak]

Yes that does include pros

[sacred elm]

get 80he module and separate numpad, theres no full size he keyboard with alum case

[sweet oak]

I for sure think a switch list update is overdue in modding faq though with how much stuff has come out

[glacial wind]

separate numpad is the way honestly. You can even buy a really fancy one

[covert whale]

By gettiong the module, I can just drop this in any case right?

[sacred elm]

not any

[glacial wind]

yeah I'm putting finishing touches on the switch website page over next couple days, then we'll have a fancy list

[stray tiger]

Keychron Q6 HE is full size HE

[sacred elm]

wooting zinc, gt80, bone80 and soon there will be available holy80

[glacial wind]

honestly though i'm not sure if some of the switches have to be added for the recolors lol

sometimes i'm adding a switch then I see there's like 4 different recolors from other manus just recoloring the same switch and only selling in china

[covert whale]

Only works with Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic Switches

[stray tiger]

Sno has promised an update!

[glossy pagoda]

Give me a heads up when you publish

[stray tiger]

There are other switches that work with it. Just not all of the ones that work with Wooting

[glossy pagoda]

For.... reasons

[sweet oak]

Could probably add a page for recolors

[glacial wind]

mkay

[covert whale]

Yeah this is going to get expensive AF

but it is fun. I wanna try all the switches now haha

[sacred elm]

try out owlab ti he, would recommend getting them instead of jade pros

[sweet oak]

Ti he new meta?

How stable we talking?

[covert whale]

Are jades still thought of as the most sought after....and you already responded haha

[glossy pagoda]

More stable than the one that got away

[stray tiger]

New meta, nah, but great value for an improved switch, yes.

[sweet oak]

Well yeah those ones got away due to supply chain issues of course

So is poms still the uber expensive king

Or is that fluxes

[covert whale]

When you talk about stability are you talking about stability of access to them or the function of the switch

[sacred elm]

flux is king of shameless pricing

[stray tiger]

I'm waiting for the day something like the TI's come out but with full travel then I will declare it then new meta.

[sweet oak]

Just how i like it

[glossy pagoda]

Stability of the physical motion during the keypress for the most precise measurement of voltage as a proxy for magnet position

[glacial wind]

we're in what's called an 'animal' meta now, where switches named after animals are superior also. Owl switches therefore have the advantage

[sweet oak]

So maybe one day we’ll have Godzilla switches

[stray tiger]

No because the Fox switches weren't good

[covert whale]

Also - and maybe this doesnt matter but - the owlab ti he are like brown. How good is the RGB on them.

[glacial wind]

that's cause no one knows what foxes sound like according to my research

[sacred elm]

I heard @sweet oak is releasing deer switches

[sweet oak]

👀 🤫

[glacial wind]

one man did do some extensive research into what the foxes say, but his result were inconclusive

[covert whale]

RING DING DING DING DING

[stray tiger]

No, he is just drunk (see what I did there)

[sweet oak]

WA POW POW WA POW POW

[sacred elm]

its fine, rgb isnt ideal on jade pros either

[sweet oak]

[stray tiger]

Drunkdeer...

Damn wasted joke

[sweet oak]

You ruined it

[sacred elm]

drunkdeer🥀

[covert whale]

Pretty good on mine. I saw that there are clear jade switches too called jade maxes. Bet theyre nice for RGB

[steep oar]

can someone recommend a website where i can buy good quality keycaps for my wooting?

[sacred elm]

theyre nice for rgb, but they feel bad

[sweet oak]

soberdeer 🌹

[covert whale]

yeah fonk dat. Feels is the most important. I am hating typing on this thing

SO Then lets say a 75 KB that accepts most switches. That still Wooting?

even the 80 seems cramped

[sacred elm]

theres slice75, but i dont know how good is the software/firmware and all that stuff

[covert whale]

thearrow keys are pushed left and the capslock isnt a full button

Keychron Q3 is okbut its so dull looking

And again on their site they say "The Q3 HE is compatible exclusively with the Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic Switch. It does not support other magnetic switches such as the Gateron Magnetic Jade or Gateron KS-20 Magnetic switches."

[quasi hinge]

Stay away from jade Maxs

[sacred elm]

Is 80he too expensive for you?

[quasi hinge]

Stay away from any board seller that locks you into certain switches

[covert whale]

Exactly

[thorn zealot]

wym the caps looks fine

[quasi hinge]

Get an 80he and a custom macropad

Im sending both pics to see

Use a macro pad like the one I used with my 60he+ with the 80he

Mine looks pretty different now though… 🖖🛸

[sacred elm]

wooting numpad👀

[glacial wind]

there's a lot of fancy numpads these days. You can even find gasket mounted ones

[quasi hinge]

With HE knob

[covert whale]

Who needs a knob lol

Screen - thats different 🙂

[tropic urchin]

ppl that dont use a dac prob

[sacred elm]

screen💀

[glacial wind]

knobs nice if you do editing honestly

[quasi hinge]

Rumors of an HE knob but id take one any day for volume control

[covert whale]

Only gaming tyvm 🙂 and work

[chilly mural]

why stop at 1 knob, do 100

[glacial wind]

scrolling timeline, color settings etc are good uses for knobs, that's why those davinci resolve board things have a billion knobs

[tropic urchin]

why knob when you can always bob smh

[sacred elm]

im good

[glacial wind]

a low price for the best knobs

[quasi hinge]

30 x Soft Knobs

Comes with soft knobs only lmao

[chilly mural]

buy it with this, you might need it.

[quasi hinge]

If I was building the starship enterprise, this would be the control panel

Although by that time we will have developed some wireless telepathic controls…

[chilly mural]

I'll stay full flesh

I don't think my government is rich enough to intergrade telepathic control to my place

[covert whale]

So wooting really is the king eh

I hear keychron is rubbish

What about Nuphy?

Or GMMK

Or Glorious

[quasi hinge]

Great product, great warranty, great community

[covert whale]

That about covers it

If thats the case then the Wooting Two HE might be the answer

I just hope it will allow me to change the keys if I want

[quasi hinge]

You can change both the switches and keycaps

I got one for a squadmate

[covert whale]

What is squadmate

[quasi hinge]

Umm

[covert whale]

Keycaps?

[quasi hinge]

A guy in my squad for online gaming

Term for someone who plays on your team

[covert whale]

Oh FOR A squadmate my bad read that wrong

totes

Im at work

Looked away

[quasi hinge]

No worries haha

[covert whale]

half read what you wrote lol

[quasi hinge]

You can change both switches and keycaps

[covert whale]

Yeah This is the KB that got it started

https://drop.com/buy/piifox-walker68-mix-series-cnc-machined-aluminum-mechanical-keyboard

The software is tough I cant figure out how to map macros. The feel is incredible. Typing on it is a joy but the size is a problem and the missing keys. I keybind a lot when playing games.

Its heavy af for a kb its size

gives it this premium feel

keycaps are good too

[quasi hinge]

I thought you were looking for one

Wooting introduced me to the custom scene

[covert whale]

Nono. I have that which then started me down this rabbits hole of keyboards 3 weeks ago

[quasi hinge]

Before I was like, do the buttons work?

[covert whale]

Exactly. I did like staying in the Logitech ecsystem but now I could care less.

Might get these keycaps

https://piifoxer.com/products/piifox-cyberpunk-asa-profile-pbt-keycap-set-117-keys

[covert whale]

Expensive AF

[quasi hinge]

Behold my precious

[covert whale]

I dont think these Caps would work with the "box stem" on those switches

What switches are those

[quasi hinge]

I need to update my page, changed my stabs and plate

[quasi hinge]

OG TTC KOM POMs

Wooting did a collab with them

Wootings are white with slightly different specs

[covert whale]

yeah see then you start talking about stabs and plate and form and gaskets and case etc etc

[covert whale]

I assume that those are KS - 20's though right?

Isnt that the diff? ks-20 vs ks-37's have dif polarities? And or the shape of the magnet or some shit

[quasi hinge]

Wootings?

They are POMs too

[covert whale]

Switches

[tropic urchin]

Assuming they have the same + shape they should fit even tho they look weird

[quasi hinge]

Different spring and end force 55g

[covert whale]

gotcha

[sacred elm]

wa flux is where its at

[covert whale]

wa flux is a switch?

[sacred elm]

Yes, overpriced switches

2$/pc

[quasi hinge]

With the 80he, it pretty much comes built well. Simple, just change the switches and keycaps and you are good to go, dont even need to take it apart…

[sacred elm]

220$ if you want them for 2he

[tropic urchin]

truly a crime

[sacred elm]

imagine buying them

[tropic urchin]

imagine buying them after me warning you to not get economy shipping

[quasi hinge]

Bro is coming here for new keeb advice and you are selling him the lambo of switches haha

[sacred elm]

[sacred elm]

im not

i told him to get owlab switches

[quasi hinge]

I on the other hand…

[sacred elm]

and 80he module

[tropic urchin]

he should definitely buy the white snake POMs

very cheap

[quasi hinge]

Im actually thinking of getting both

[tropic urchin]

everybody is saying this

[tropic urchin]

you NEED both

[quasi hinge]

Totally

[tropic urchin]

then you can give magnetos to another squadie

[quasi hinge]

Need to support the world economy

[quasi hinge]

This is true

[sacred elm]

what do you mean both

both 90pc?

[quasi hinge]

Yes

[sacred elm]

madman

[quasi hinge]

Yes

[sacred elm]

@tropic urchin almost typed your ingame name

[tropic urchin]

That’s not very cash money of you fam

[sacred elm]

[quasi hinge]

Do I want to be flux king or stability king

[sacred elm]

both

[tropic urchin]

You can be both for a very low cost of $190

[quasi hinge]

Cant

[quasi hinge]

What switch?

White sneks have lowest flux

Fluxs have best stability

[tropic urchin]

Order both so you can placebo test

[quasi hinge]

Exactly

[tropic urchin]

I thought you were sold on that my friend from other side of the world

What changed 🥀

[quasi hinge]

Im actually studying the effects of placebo on keyboard modding haha

[quasi hinge]

I will

[sacred elm]

why are you chasing lowest flux, if you really want to waste money just get fluxes

[quasi hinge]

What would affect a press more or what would be more accurate

Better flux or stability

[tropic urchin]

Technically the lowest flux you can buy is 10

[sacred elm]

both are very stable and will have identical performance

[tropic urchin]

W marble

[quasi hinge]

Might as well stick with magnetos

[stray tiger]

Very curious to see how this channel specifically compares to the overall poll results that we got

[tropic urchin]

Can I vote more than once for marble

[sacred elm]

idk, imo youre just buying same switches but for 140$

[stray tiger]

I'll vote for you

[quasi hinge]

V true

[sacred elm]

i voted clack

im clack maxxing

[quasi hinge]

Can anyone share a good thock vs marble comparisson

[quasi hinge]

You adopted the clack

[tropic urchin]

It’s the difference between flux and raeds

Apparently raeds are thock

[calm pulsar]

raeds better

[glacial wind]

My vote can be influenced based on whichever party owns the superior camera gear

[quasi hinge]

But they are also raeds

[tropic urchin]

This is true

@stray tiger I want a Derivative R1 in silver, WK, what do I do...

[thorn zealot]

those are truly the best

[sacred elm]

lekker v1 should be an option indeed

very unique sound (shit)

[thorn zealot]

how dare u

[tropic urchin]

Quick strike that out

[safe stag]

[tropic urchin]

NAH

[calm pulsar]

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

Tbf the mic is so far away they both sound the same

[calm pulsar]

that's an iphone right?

[safe stag]

yep

do you want a closer sound

[thorn zealot]

lekker v1 > pom

[calm pulsar]

I feel like iphone mic makes most board sound snappier than they are irl

[safe stag]

I have the lekker v1 kb under my desk

[tropic urchin]

In my experience sometimes it picks it up decently (not perfectly) and other times it doesn’t it’s weird

[sacred elm]

iphone mic is weird

[calm pulsar]

nah just had a theory that you recorded with the iphone cause I think it sounds similar to my recordings on my iphone

[tropic urchin]

Imagine developing a better mic instead of worthless camera upgrades

Couldn’t be me

[sacred elm]

i can never record proper sound test because of that, it always sounds so different

[calm pulsar]

which is why I record with my fifine mic (also shit)

[tropic urchin]

If you’re not using the foxtail mic what are you really doing

[sacred elm]

i dont even have a mic

headset mic on top

😃👍

[tropic urchin]

I thought your mouse was a ghost frame of your hand 😭

[calm pulsar]

what? can't hear you

[calm pulsar]

frog mini is my mouse here

[tropic urchin]

I was actually tripping

[sacred elm]

thought that was g502 for a second

weight is probably the same

[safe stag]

Less bad lekker v1 soundtest

[tropic urchin]

Now that’s a little too close

[calm pulsar]

nah that's jutsu sora v2

[sacred elm]

why am i in your keyboard

[safe stag]

for the sound

[tropic urchin]

I’m actually crying 🤣

[trail bane]

I think this is OP combo

[safe stag]

idk, do you prefer a bit farther

[trail bane]

And finaly weigh is 1 kilogram

[quasi hinge]

If you dont need the legends change the rest to blank black cerakeys

[tropic urchin]

Cerakeys look better than I expected

[calm pulsar]

raeds better

[covert whale]

Sounds mechanical... Are those hall effect switches?

When I get home I'll record off this piifox I have

[tropic urchin]

GMMK 3 pro wants its switches back

[fringe quarry]

those are not raeds

[calm pulsar]

nah im messing around, these are MX silent tactiles

[safe stag]

Caseless is the best (yes my legs are ugly)

[tropic urchin]

So we’re fake news maxing

[covert whale]

That's pretty dope what are those

[fringe quarry]

you got a lot of ⚫ buttons

what language is that

[safe stag]

😶

[quasi hinge]

Looks super cool

[fringe quarry]

it does

although personally im too dumb to have blanks

[trail bane]

Hmm maybe not

[quasi hinge]

Same

[safe stag]

Wait, the sound of the video I sent on discord is not rendering the same as the sound of my iphone
The crappy sound might be due to the compression algorithm when you send videos from an iphone throught the discord app

[fringe quarry]

i gotta change my keycaps, using german ones with a english layout has been confusing sometimes

Most of it sounds the same and/or the recording is different

should i just build out my venom caseless 🤔

[tropic urchin]

The funny part is they don’t sound bad for silent switches

[safe stag]

they weren't marketed as silent

[tropic urchin]

Have a very minimal sound signature even if they had a flawed design to them

[quasi hinge]

Stock?

[calm pulsar]

these are jade max, lubed from factory, never opened them

[tropic urchin]

Nothing will ever be truly silent, but they’re good enough for a quieter experience

this is the build I have rn lol
poms with an empty case, I had to remove the weights cause I had to make the venom db work in here

so yeah sounds bad actually

but not cause of switches

[thorn zealot]

il still stand that poms/ttc in general sound mid

[sacred elm]

poms sound better in person

[quasi hinge]

Thing is, there are so many variables to sound, can someone confirm?

Sound recording device
Mic
How it is uploaded to discord (phone to app or pc to program or pc to browser login)

Then build… depends on the case, tape mod, plate, keycap even

Right?

[little glen]

Desk

Deskpad/keepmat/etc

[tropic urchin]

There’s probably more variables but a good start

[little glen]

Room acoustics

[calm pulsar]

flux better

[quasi hinge]

Yeah thats what I mean

[sacred elm]

ill try them soon reeeee

[fringe quarry]

build noise canceling into keyboard

[thorn zealot]

maybe i buy 1 singular one

[calm pulsar]

rip $180 raeds clear

[quasi hinge]

I feel like we are arguing over which ant is the fastest and they are all mixed up haha

[sacred elm]

raeds better

[calm pulsar]

alr I gotta stop being obnoxious

[sacred elm]

all switches are the same

[fringe quarry]

180$ for raeds?

hey guys ive got a wooting with a tofu 60 redux case (check image for the exact color) and im wondering if like mint green keycaps would look well w it ?

and if they do id also like some keycaps recommendation (preferably azerty)

[tropic urchin]

Found the nonboxstem user

Tee hee lookin ahh

[quasi hinge]

Matches the color wheel

Purple and green

[foggy scroll]

Colours on opposite sides tend to look good together if I remember my theory properly

[torn summit]

yeahhh thats what i want to go for

[tropic urchin]

I think they could look good, try taking a look here to see if there’s any specific sets that catch your eye https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

i also got a smiski on my screen so it could blend well too

[tropic urchin]

oooh yeah it looks so cool tyy !!!

alright now time to find some green azerty keycaps

hardest part

[visual ore]

I want to eat it

[visual ore]

Good luck green keycaps are a rarity

[tawdry tree]

Raeds if you don’t care for RGB and Haimu Silents if you do care for RGB but less so for wobble (they’re a bit more wobbly).

[stray tiger]

Yeah those are GMK Zooted and GMK doesnt support azerty in most kits

[polar girder]

clean

[stray tiger]

Did you send back the OLED?

[torn summit]

azerty is even more of a rarity i feel like 😵‍💫

[trail bane]

Donatello

[tawdry tree]

You can use Jade Mini Es on Keychron’s boards, kind of. It requires you to swap the stems of all of them. So you’d use the stem of the stock switch (Nebula) and the housing of Jade Mini E to achieve a compatible Jade switch.

[glacial wind]

Just canon apsc and a couple Sony lenses. I need to get a new 4k capable body though as all my camera bodies are pre 4k being common era

[stray tiger]

Ahh gotcha. Ive got some canon stuff (filters, adapters, etc) that I was going to send you if you had a use for them. Lmk if you ever need them

[glacial wind]

Ah I’m going completely Sony so no more canon for me after the swap, but appreciate the offer

[vapid musk]

Hey all, just got the last of the parts I need to build my 60HE+ and I was wondering if I should do any mods to the 45 v2s?

[stray tiger]

Build it as-is first and see how you feel. Might love it in stock form!

[quasi hinge]

Replace them lulz

[vapid musk]

Neat, alright will do. Wasn't sure if there was any slight modifications that would make them feel better immediately.

[vapid musk]

Not a fan of the 45s?

[quasi hinge]

I love wooting but dislike the lekkers

No issue with 45g force either

[vapid musk]

Interesting. These will be my first experience with HE switches.

[quasi hinge]

If you have budget, just replace em but ignorance is bliss

Try em out

Then buy a few of some others to test

90% I think you will change if you play a lot and try other he switches

[vapid musk]

That's the plan. I've been using milky yellow pros in my current (cheap, throwaway) 60 and they feel okay. Hoping that the lighter keys fit more with what I want.

[vapid musk]

Noted. Any recommendations on which switches to try out? Will try and buy some samples.

[stray tiger]

They wont sound like milky yellows but you'll likely prefer the feel of them for gaming

[stray tiger]

No suggestions yet until you know what you do or dont like with the L45's

[quasi hinge]

What MarbleFather says ^^^

[vapid musk]

Fair, alright I guess I should build.

[stray tiger]

For example, if you think your L45's are scratchy, we would say to lube them. If you think they are too light, we would suggest something heavier, if you dont think they are loud enough, we can suggest something clackier, etc

[vapid musk]

Fair fair. My more premium board I use POM Linears and I absolutely adore those.

I haven't really messed with tactiles all that much but I do want to try them.

[quasi hinge]

I used to love the 4.0 switch which the lekker was/is and out of pure lack of confidence, I delayed trying the 3.4/3.5 switches (my mistake)

[quasi hinge]

Well then if you dont like your lekkers then the og ttc poms might be up your alley if you dont mind lubing

[stray tiger]

Not any real tactile HE switches, at least none I'd recommend

[vapid musk]

Yeah I love building and modding so lubing / filming are no issue to me.

[foggy scroll]

Tactile HE switches kinda goes against the adjustable actuation stuff, no?

[quasi hinge]

These are the og poms

They 100% need to be lubed

Wooting did a collab but their force is 55

Og poms are 45g

[vapid musk]

Oh man I'll have to check them out.

[torn summit]

thought i found a cool azerty keycap site only for it to be an aliexpress resseller thats crazy

[quasi hinge]

And they go well with a CF plate of you dont mind the sound

For some reason pom and carbon fiber just vibe well

[quasi hinge]

Worth checking out down the road if you get picky

[sacred elm]

no need to film he switches

Check out Owlab Ti He switches

[vapid musk]

Oh yeah, I just meant I don't mind the labor of doing it!

[vapid musk]

Absolutely will, love testing new switches.

[sacred elm]

The problem with lekkers is that they are wobbly compared to other switches

[vapid musk]

I heard the 45 v2s have less wobble

[sacred elm]

less wobble than v1 lekkers, still wobbly than other options like owlab ti he, ttc pom etc

[vapid musk]

Gotcha, that's interesting.

[quasi hinge]

After trying the lekkers out then going to ttc poms, its night and day

Not placebo

[sacred elm]

tbh owlab tis are the safest choice, other switches like ttc poms/wuque fluxes are for placebo maxxing

schizo territory

[tropic urchin]

MX sound maxing 🥀

[quasi hinge]

I am in search of placebo maxing but that was a definite and well non controversial step up in stability

[quasi hinge]

Nah

I think you can feel ttc pom vs owl lab

Hard to compare to non box stem

[calm pulsar]

🌹

[tropic urchin]

Need mr cam for the stability test

[sacred elm]

yea but i never recommend them because of the price and the fact that they need to be handlubed

[kind helm]

i cant believe i am agreeing with shf for once

[quasi hinge]

He wants to lube

Apparently

Diving right in

[sacred elm]

thats cool, i never agree with you tho

[tropic urchin]

Hell is in the negatives fr fr

[quasi hinge]

See here

[sacred elm]

joshiba is on that *J arc frfr

[quasi hinge]

And here

[calm pulsar]

im on that Arc arc

[sacred elm]

[vapid musk]

Alright, well I will have to check out the TTC Poms.

[tropic urchin]

In an effort to build the first glorious HE MX Archwyn dynasty 🌹

[quasi hinge]

But they need to be lubed

[sacred elm]

wrong rose emote

[tropic urchin]

No it’s right

You won’t understand the reference

[sacred elm]

if youre not a fan of loud switches, dont buy them

[sacred elm]

[vapid musk]

I don't mind them!

[sacred elm]

oh then get wooting ttc poms, i heard they bring you closer to god

[tropic urchin]

If you get the module you’ll get a discount on Wooting Poms

Also look nicer than OG Poms

[sacred elm]

yea -20%

[atomic ermine]

is the foam from the tofu 60 redux better then the 1 from wooting 60he+

[sacred elm]

foam is foam

[atomic ermine]

u think i should use both lol

[sacred elm]

no

just use wooting

[atomic ermine]

alr

[calm pulsar]

raeds better

[tropic urchin]

Or experiment with polyfill if you’re feeling adventurous

[atomic ermine]

wat

[sacred elm]

my friends cotton filled benom clears

[calm pulsar]

im dead in repo so I post nonsense in chat

[tropic urchin]

Q tip head ahh

[tropic urchin]

Instead of double foam I’d just use whichever foam you want and do a tape mod or something if you want to dampen sound even more

[atomic ermine]

alr thanks

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

Atleast it’s less messy than polyfill

[sacred elm]

forgot to try tape mod on it, oh well

its gone now

[atomic ermine]

wooting foam is a smaller thn the acse

[tropic urchin]

Similar theory to what you said regarding doing it for POMs gives it some more life again, but for some reason fluxes on FR4 are louder than on CF and when you tape mod on CF, it gives it a new life almost

[marsh saffron]

So I guess we're picking up 2 new kittens in an hour

Lol

[sacred elm]

[sacred elm]

poms sounded super dead on 80he without pet film/tape mod

did you like fluxes on fr4

thats what im gonna use

[marsh saffron]

They are only 4 weeks old

Picking them up in an hour ish

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

I didn’t like feel as much but I’ve conditioned myself to CF

But sound was good

+1 for FR4

[sacred elm]

[untold wigeon]

They finally shipped my owlab ti switches !

Imma swap the Lekker 60 v2 to my 60HE+

Im still thinking about whether to get Zinc alloy or GT-80, they both looks awesome

[static aurora]

GT-80 gud.

[tropic urchin]

+1 for GT80

If you care about modding, getting rid of those case screws is genuine bliss

[harsh dove]

Messing around

Real 80HE Owners cut their silicone

I don’t make the rules, I just enforce them
