[stray tiger]

That I agree with you. Not making excuses for them, that should have been caught.

[quasi hinge]

not to mention losing their legs

[quasi hinge]

Im stunned that they would release such an expensive switch without basic QC

Im happy I was waiting for Flux results

So I got sneks instead

[stray tiger]

That's why I asked which boards. Was wondering if it's a QC issue or if the boards just have shit sensors

[quasi hinge]

Im pretty sure its QC, not sure on the boards but double check with @sacred elm

but there was even cope from a wuque rep that wooting would make adjustments in their software for their sh*tty QC

even if you gave me the fluxes for free, I would throw or give them away

couldnt sell something I know is Sh*t

[glacial wind]

I’m more surprised they performed barely above average for physical wobble test

I expected a bit more there considering that was the big selling point of the entire new design

[quasi hinge]

I couldnt say as I never tried one myself

some people said they were noticeably more stable than the ttc box stems

but I wouldnt decide until I had them right in front of me

thankfully I matrix dodged the qc nightmare

[glacial wind]

I mean in theramins test. He checks the actual physical movement in his reviews

His conclusion at end of review is pretty funny. Matches up to what we all said in that the pricing makes the switches go from pretty interesting switch to “no chance in hell”

[quasi hinge]

add on top of the price point are the QC issues which now makes them toxic, they have negative value to me

ie you would need to pay me to use them lol

springs not fully demag, magnets with random QC lol

I mean how many bad things have to come out for people to recognize the wuque flux is an epic fail

if they werent $200 nobody would care

[quasi hinge]

The only decent thing about them is the new design but even then they are not that different apparently...

[glacial wind]

I think the design probably attributes to their smooth feel that he noted, which is cool except that no one outside of these specialized discords is paying $2 a switch just for that

[quasi hinge]

I think its likely the optimal design

horrendous implementation

If ttc could make an octagonal pom, GG

checkmate

[glacial wind]

Ah yes I too am visiting from abroad on my very extended Korea stay

[stray tiger]

I mentioned this the week I got them. They are a solid feeling and sounding switch but I thought the wobble was better on the TI's. Then I was told it's not possible because the TI's use a non-box stem.

[uneven cradle]

Tee hees on top

[fluid ravine]

Ah yes Box Stem Tee Hee are best switch no debate, got it

[glacial wind]

This part cracked me up because it matches exactly how I feel about these switches. Just a masterclass in marketing the wrong way and pricing the wrong way:

“For all of the thought and planning that clearly went into the design, development, and execution of these switches, oh holy shit did they really miss the mark when it comes to the pricing and sales pitch of these switches and they’re resultingly now poised to be the masterclass in how to not sell perfectly marketable switches.”

[fluid ravine]

@stray tiger is there a specific time to when the stream starts?

[stray tiger]

He hasnt posted the stream schedule for this week yet. I'm guessing tomorrow

Snakes on top

[marsh saffron]

Found a snake in my yard today

[honest nacelle]

I didn't say which boards had issues, as I wasn't shown them personally. Of my boards that I tested, only the Rakka H60 presented that issue. All the complaints are noted, but my experience with them hasn't really changed.

It is new molds. New manu, new molds, new design, pretty much new everything. There is a new batch of switches in, but I'm hoping to get the fluxes revised before next batch gets made

[untold wigeon]

Is there any switch thats an upgrade from Geon Raw HE? I have these currently

[glacial wind]

owlabs ti he been popular as the 'upgrade' to them. Kind of like a fully closed bottom, tighter/smoother raw he

[honest nacelle]

grab some owlab tihe

raws have a few niche-r issues, but tihe are priced about the same and just appears to be a generational upgrade

[untold wigeon]

Ok thanks ill look at those

[tawdry tree]

I’m not really familiar with his reviews. How does he measure the wobble?

[glacial wind]

he measures them physically

i don't know if he lists the values somewhere in his giant database of data

[tawdry tree]

Has he ever posted his method? Nothing pops up when I search for it.

Would be interesting to know

[glacial wind]

i'm sure it's somewhere in his giant piles of data and reviews, but it's a bit of a pain to navigate through his stufflol

[tawdry tree]

Yeah haha, quite lengthy reviews

[trail bane]

Ayooo this is POM time

[tawdry tree]

That makes little to no sense. What is 5 extra switches gonna do? 😭

You get 40 instead of 35?

75 instead of 70

ah nvm, I think it’s just a discount

[trail bane]

I think so😂

[tawdry tree]

Why are all TTC’s switch names so long lmfao

“TTC Commander King Magnetic Switch, Firm Dust-proof Stem Linear Freely Setting Pre-Travel for Magnetic Gaming Keyboard”

[quasi hinge]

Or 80 +5 covers your wooting 80he

[tawdry tree]

gotta be the first search result for anything ig

[tawdry tree]

if only they had a listing for 80 😭

[quasi hinge]

true dat

[tawdry tree]

Akko’s “Flash” magnetic switch isn’t by HMX. 🔥

[glacial wind]

the best part is there's no rhyme or reason for half of these new ttc variations

it's like they just decided "why don't we make another kom but with this new housing, but with this random color, this random magnet variant and this random spring length and we'll make none of these new switches an actual improvement over the previous koms"

[tawdry tree]

“If they look different then they are different.” the whole recolor business 😭

TTC selling a recolor of the same switch to melgeek and madlions

Lord of war but instead of guns it’s switches 🥰

[deft jolt]

whats akko flash

[tawdry tree]

new akko switch

[deft jolt]

recolour for madlions

not melgeek

[tawdry tree]

no info about then yet afaik

[deft jolt]

oh okay

[tawdry tree]

Tai’e for melgeek

and the other for madlions

[deft jolt]

lmk when u get more info

[deft jolt]

tai a is a combination of 2 switches

wouldnt say recolour exactly

though some of the others are recolours and idk what they are doing lol

[deft jolt]

isok we are confused too

i want to see innovation

[tawdry tree]

we need a recolor leaderboard

[deft jolt]

idk what the designers and bosses are doing

lol

[tawdry tree]

outemu would be number 1 prob

[honest nacelle]

okay I just want to clarify the following were issues with the flux switches:

• brittle bottom housing blend led to legs coming off
• magnet strength needs tighter qc
• tolerances need to be improved
• longer springs
• price. nuff said

[deft jolt]

the design team is cooked fr

[glacial wind]

they're 'technically' new i guess because some of them use the new housing rail system that's supposedly better, but they used worse magnet for whatever reason so their overall stability stays same lol

[tawdry tree]

if they were more stable than TTC’s at the same price point ish, it’d be good

[honest nacelle]

there was nothing else that I missed yea?

[deft jolt]

yeah idk what they are doing

they lowkey trolling

[deft jolt]

sometimes difficult to remove

[tawdry tree]

haven’t had any issues myself yet, so not afaik.

[honest nacelle]

get stronger

[deft jolt]

kailh style but idt it matters since not everyone is opening it

[tawdry tree]

skill issue

[honest nacelle]

ima be real with you

you dont need to open it

the prelube is great

[deft jolt]

yeah i open it try to see if i could spring swap

thats all

[deft jolt]

nah not that, i was talking about the prongs? idk what its called

its higher than other switches

the pulley thingy

[tawdry tree]

one thing I don’t get about the Fluxes, is that it seems the pole doesn’t help stability at all but still they didn’t got with a shorter pole.

[deft jolt]

so it takes more effort than others

[tawdry tree]

could’ve been a 4mm travel switch

I’d prefer that

[quasi hinge]

Make them pom?

[tawdry tree]

hmm, latches? I haven’t had any difficulty pulling them

[honest nacelle]

issues, not wants

although, I have noted them

[deft jolt]

i think its called the latches idk

most switches are closer to the plate

this one is higher

[tawdry tree]

nylon and 4mm travel 🔥🔥

[deft jolt]

cant pull out as easily without worrying about breaking it

[unique hamlet]

Hey I just bought the wooting 60 he+ module and I'm looking to install it in a custom tofu60 redux case. I got an fr4 ansi plate from kbdfans and I managed to swap it out with the pc plate on the module. I can't reinstall the screws though because the fr4 plate doesn't have screw holes is that normal?

[deft jolt]

in a less tight plate its not as bad

[tawdry tree]

no screw holes at all?!

send a picture if you can, I’m not sure what you mean exactly

[deft jolt]

no screw holes??

[unique hamlet]

Nah it's like, the original plate has the little protrusion to allow the screws to screw in but the fr4 ansi plate i have doesn't have that same protrusion

So basically the screws have nothing to latch into

[tawdry tree]

oh, there should be a standoff kit

that’s if you got the FR4 plate specifically for Wooting

[unique hamlet]

So i have to install the standoff first

[tawdry tree]

yeah

you screw the standoffs on

be sure to use the flat hat screws for the plate

they’re countersunk iirc

[deft jolt]

yeah u need standoffs first

[fresh badger]

Which keycaps are compatible with the 60HE?

[little glen]

Any mx compatible keycaps

Which is like 99% of the market

[fresh badger]

Alright

any good eu vendors to look for, which aren't too expensive?

[glacial wind]

lmao okay this cracked me up: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lbj7XyJGLag

aliexpress for really bedget stuff (exact same shit that’s on amazon but cheaper). if ur budget is like €85, you could check deltakeyco or keygem

[quasi hinge]

Anything new?

[fresh badger]

Appreciate it

finding azerty keycaps do be difficult

[tawdry tree]

oh yeah, for sure

good luck lmao

prob only a few sets on ali

doubt delta or keygem have any

[fresh badger]

especially iso french

[tawdry tree]

HAHA

[fresh badger]

is it okay quality?

[tawdry tree]

some are, some aren’t

you can check the reviews on ali

[fresh badger]

alright

[tawdry tree]

this is almost impossible to find though

basically anything not ansi or iso is hard, then french and spanish are the hardest iirc

[fresh badger]

well

doesn't have to be french honestly

just azerty iso

french iso is just what I have atm

[little glen]

Deltakeyco is french so maybe they have something

But i would not count on it

You could get the pbtfans one

[fresh badger]

where could I find those

Comments from my buddy doing me a solid

"Already seeing differences

Top housing is different, instead of the rails being on the bottom housing, it's on the top

These also seem to be a bit smoother??? But same time, it is also not pre-lubed👀"

Compared to magneto poms

[little glen]

Interesting

[honest nacelle]

fuck whered it go

[honest nacelle]

oh if u wanted to know what was diff:

• rail system was changed to come from the top housing, instead of bottom housing
• (alledgedly) the prelube process was changed to not be dumb as fuck
• tolerances improved

[quasi hinge]

Ty, thought it was just the magnet flux and superficial design

[glacial wind]

i swear it's the 3rd time we've told you the rail system changed lol

not that it actually matters though because the gains are so minimal at the tolerances we're talking about

[honest nacelle]

yep

[little glen]

Yo guys do you think the rails changed?

[honest nacelle]

literally at the point of schizo numbers

[little glen]

I heard someone say it but i‘m not sure

[honest nacelle]

apparently ttc have new switches coming out with the same mold but cheaper plastics so we should see some cool stuff coming out at more affortable prices

no, I don't know when

yes, they will be cheaper

[quasi hinge]

Ill be the placebo judge of that

[honest nacelle]

and tbf the main reason the snakes are so expensive is partly due to manu cost

[little glen]

Glass infused bottom when

[honest nacelle]

💀

we don't need more clack

[little glen]

Glass + cf infused bottom

[quasi hinge]

Could you elaborate?

[little glen]

Fr4 stem

Idk i‘m just saying shit at this point

[honest nacelle]

some plastics are more expensive than others???

idk what you're confused about

[ionic breach]

snakes or just ttcs?

[honest nacelle]

what

did we forget individual thought today

[little glen]

Yes

[honest nacelle]

plastic cost is outright different

nylon for eg is more expnesive than abs

but processes and cost to manu differ depending on material

[ionic breach]

snakes are a limited edition version of ttc koms no?

[quasi hinge]

You said manufacturing process not material

Hence the Q

[honest nacelle]

all of the above

manu process is affected by material

not to mention outright material cost

[glacial wind]

kinda but also not really

[little glen]

Cant wait for the full PET switch

[glacial wind]

they do the 'year of the x' edition every year but they're not technically limited for certain sku

although they may stop making them eventually but they're not really 'limited'

[quasi hinge]

They are also improved but some say minimal

I will see how they placebo max

[ionic breach]

oh i thought d is saying snakes cost more to manu than ttc koms

[honest nacelle]

no - snake are a diff mold altogether

the ttc snake may be limited

but the mold will not be

[ionic breach]

they are?

didnt know that lmao

[honest nacelle]

ttc snake is probs only going to be sold this year

[glacial wind]

it depends on what you mean by 'version' of the ttc koms is why you're getting multiple different answers

[honest nacelle]

ie: year of the snake

[glacial wind]

they moved the rail to the top housing instead of bottom housing for the snakes, but kept the rest the same basically. So whether you want to call it a limited edition kom or not depends on what you're asking

it is a special 'year of the x' edition, but only the numbered versions are really limited, but even those i'm not even sure if they're fully limited or not

[honest nacelle]

weirdly enough

the commander pro

actually has an updated rail design

[glacial wind]

it could even be that they only limit just the special edition bundles

[honest nacelle]

puts it ~on par with pom but at like half the price

sounds like normal kom tho

but doesn't have the ??? lube job

[glacial wind]

well yes and no, if you look at their stability stuff it actually got worse then the poms/rgb

so they moved to the new rail system but used the older less tight tolerance magnets for some reason

[honest nacelle]

stability how

in flux tolerances? or in actual physical stability

[glacial wind]

in whatever their own measurements are for their magnetic flux

[honest nacelle]

btw - ttc have 3 different rail systems currently active

OG KOM/POM, camo with a like channel in the middle of the rail, and snake with top mount rail

[glacial wind]

their bottom out flux on the new commando stuff is actually worse than the pom/rgb stuff

[honest nacelle]

yea still don't see how the flux tolerances matter

(unless its like the flux, where its just ???)

[glacial wind]

it doesn't outside of comparing just raw stability between the ttc variants

[honest nacelle]

if the flux doesn't overload the sensor, then whats the point in caring

[glacial wind]

which is what asdasmos is interest in

[fallen pecan]

1st pic ttc commander, 2nd pic ttc tai er

[glacial wind]

we've already told him that the flux amounts don't matter at the precision levels we're talking about already, but he wants the lowest flux amounts anyway

[fallen pecan]

commander is basically a uranus recolor, tai er has the white snek rail

[glacial wind]

yeah ttc be doing weird stuff. A lot of sidegrades to old switches

[honest nacelle]

...but lower flux doesn't matter...?

like at all?

or am i tweaking and not understanding

[glacial wind]

you're not quite understanding i think

we're not talking about realistic usage of it. he just wants to know their actual stability differences even if they're pointlessly small

[honest nacelle]

any moderately competent implementation sorts out flux variance (to a degree, again)

[honest nacelle]

yea but the flux tolerances don't equal anything for physical stability?

[glacial wind]

they do and don't

we're not talking raw physical stability here. I'm not sure what you're talking about

[honest nacelle]

wait then why does asad want lower flux

is this just like

[glacial wind]

because he's obsessed with min/maxing pointless flux gains

he's being literal when he's saying he's placebo maxing

[honest nacelle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[glacial wind]

it's not a joke

he's being serious lol

[honest nacelle]

i hear arkham has openings for new inmates

[glacial wind]

i mean to each their own. He knows it's pointless but if he wants to spend his money chasing 0.004 or whatever levels of flux stability then he can do it

[honest nacelle]

[quasi hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/chapelle-hatasball-gif-9577235

[fallen pecan]

pick the gold badge version

[tawdry tree]

it’s not a flux difference from one switch to another but how much it can fluctuate in a single switch; the wobble. though, for gateron’s earlier switches, they did state the flux variation from one switch to another just like springs.

[untold wigeon]

They don’t have ((

[sacred elm]

depends on the color, i think white and silver comes with gold badges

or maybe silver with black

not sure

[untold wigeon]

👍👍 thanks

[untold wigeon]

Dang, bcz I want the silver and with gold badges looks sick

[honest nacelle]

that is not what the stated flux variance is

that is the differnce between magnet strength between units

idk where you got the assumption that it correlates with physical wobble from, but its wrong

[tawdry tree]

measured from the sensor position. if the stem (and magnet) tilts, there’s a variation in flux

at least for TTC (I think they stated that themselves) that’s how they list flux variation

at top out there’s a min/max reading and at bottom out

@glacial wind I half remember ttc stating this somewhere but can’t find it

was it in a listing or something?

[quasi hinge]

This was my understanding too

[glacial wind]

Yeah ttc does imply that it correlates to overall stability (not just physical but the overall stability)

It’s listed on their ttc snake page as the stability gains vs pom due to flux reduction

[quasi hinge]

Doesnt this make sense though?

if there is wobble or tilt, magnet moves....

[tawdry tree]

I’ma ask TTC, I thought they stated it but if they just imply it, it isn’t enough. There’s a very big difference in flux variance from switch to switch and flux variance from a single switch. the latter would indicate the physical wobble while the first doesn’t indicate stability (on most boards) at all.

[tawdry tree]

you can measure wobble like that but if they actually do is the question. the exact same numbers can mean two very different things 😂

[quasi hinge]

Im happy either way

[glacial wind]

Maybe d is confusing just general flux with flux variance

And he thinks you’re talking about just general flux start and end

Because the +- variance has been shown to have some relation to final stability

https://geon.works/products/group-buy-glare-60

Dang

[tawdry tree]

If the variance from one switch to another is meant, it shouldn’t have any noticeable effect on stability whatsoever (for most boards). I don’t know how that came to be though if it is the case.

[tawdry tree]

sexy but for the price it looks kinda basic no?

oh maybe cause of steel

[glacial wind]

yeah i've never heard of it as the variance from one switch to the next unless he's talking about the actual full flux amounts like 95 to 480 or similar numbers

but that's totally different to the flux variance at bottom and top that's specifically mentioned by ttc and other manus

[untold wigeon]

TEEEEE HEEEEEEE

[glacial wind]

It's literally listed as accuracy improvement by ttc themselves

for @quasi hinge since he was asking about it on the ttc marketing before

[untold wigeon]

are jade rubies any good or are they flavor of the month?

from the research ive done so far Owlab TI are best for sound and TTC POM are best for stability

[glacial wind]

jade rubies are just jade pro with very slight material change

owlab ti and ttc pom are indeed the current popular recommendations for those 2 areas

[untold wigeon]

thanks reply

[glacial wind]

technically there's ttc snake which are better versions of the poms as you can see in the discussion above, but they're not generally recommended because the improvement isn't noticable and the price is way higher

basically the ttc pom reach the point of diminishing returns for accuracy gains and paying that extra $50 or whatever is a huge waste of money

[crimson sky]

not every board has to look like a matrix board

it has nice HG sides and a fat weight, and the steel then drives up price

if the top part was anodized alu it would prob be like 350

[tawdry tree]

“By reducing the tolerance of the magnetic flux of the magnet-“ they can mean whatever atp, I’ll just wait for their reply.

[tawdry tree]

yeah makes sense.

steel is more expensive to machine right?

[crimson sky]

yea

since it is harder than alu

[tawdry tree]

ye exactly

[crimson sky]

I would prefer if the top was 2 parts so you could do all mounts on all layouts

[glacial wind]

i'm actually curious to know how much of the increased cost of the snakes is this magnet improvement and how much is just them tacking on extra price

but i guess that's one thing that would never be made public

for whatever reason they've seemingly not used this better magnet in any other switch since

[tawdry tree]

would drastically increase the compatible PCBs as well but guess it’d also be even more expensive 😭

I do like the look a lot

[crimson sky]

yea

I mean you can use the winkey version

unsure if regular PCBs would work

[tawdry tree]

most likely not :(

[tawdry tree]

if you want blockers I mean

you know we haven't seen many HE keyboards advertise AI yet

will MM studio be the first to introduce an AI enhanced keyboard

[tawdry tree]

Rakka’s developer said that the TMR sensors he tested were 10 times worse in terms of latency and the tests don’t show this because they short the sensor (so sensor latency isn’t measured).

still 8khz polling tho

[glacial wind]

i can't wait for someone to claim they have 0.00005 precision rapid trigger, then for someone else to look it up and inform them that this level of precision is smaller than the actual covid virus that we can't see with our eyes

[glossy pagoda]

It's a lot cheaper to make a marketing graphic than a keyboard

[sacred elm]

yea because i dont think you can have more than 8k polling

[glossy pagoda]

Soon they'll only make the graphics, keyboard can come later

[austere creek]

technically you can push it to 16khz by not doing polling and instead usb3 interrupt

that lens is a mere 5x sets of snakes

[quasi hinge]

I need a clean conscience

[tropic urchin]

I hate those red corners with all my heart

Tinted RGB and red corners 🥀

[sacred elm]

actually sad that those issues exist, even tho they arent noticeable. the switch itself feels so nice

[glacial wind]

they did get a good score for feel at least

that was what theremin mentioned before he tore into them for everything else lol

[quasi hinge]

After D said this, id throw my wuques in the trash

Just being honest

Like buying a fast car but the engine may or may work properly at high speeds

Maybe its fine, maybe not

[tropic urchin]

In that case it would be recalled first before anything bad happens

[trail bane]

K

[fallen pecan]

they're delighted that customers are paying $2 a switch to beta test for them

[quasi hinge]

I was almost one of them

Thats why I feel @sacred elm ‘s pain

[quasi hinge]

Travesty

[tropic urchin]

As long as they replace them with new ones given their QC idc really, but if not then WS will be on my boycott list

[glacial wind]

they refused shafies request he said

and he's the one guy here who can actually complain because he didn't get them for free or use discount code on them

[quasi hinge]

Im not buying wuque in solidarity of shafie

[glacial wind]

it's such a pity because for feel purposes I could see myself recommending them with the issues fixed at $1 a switch

they just needed sane pricing

[quasi hinge]

They refused shafies request

At least Gateron refunded me on the Maxs

Their respect level went up

Yeah, even if they release 2.0, screw em

Unreliable in the darkest hour

[sacred elm]

yea D said they wont do replacements because of massive costs and a lot of work for "no particular reason", i guess this isnt enough https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/984799440072220692/1366412703140286598/IMG_8624.png?ex=6810da7f&is=680f88ff&hm=a93540458ede8b22e5de113b9225925718effedec2412881abb3153757336c5e&

Marbly clack church in shambles

[glacial wind]

i ordered a few more owlab ti he to go with my 1 single switch so I can do a proper recording of them lol

[sacred elm]

that is so sad

[tardy obsidian]

im getting the optimum keycaps so might as well get the switches from there too

[tropic urchin]

I’ll probably still use them up until they start acting up

But no replacements for absurd pricing is quite frankly real clown shit

[glossy pagoda]

Shameless cash grab

[tropic urchin]

It’s not like we’re asking for a refund to spend it elsewhere, we just want the shit they advertised lmao

[glossy pagoda]

Maybe they should have allocated a few of those free packs they sent out to everyone who asked

Except apparently Shafie

[glacial wind]

that list is missing the 'some springs were not fully non magnetic' bit too

[sacred elm]

yea same

[tropic urchin]

Well with China not shipping to US you won’t have to now

[sacred elm]

how did they manage to have those issues, the most obvious ones

[tropic urchin]

I guess I have to throw away my WS switch puller

[sacred elm]

some switches have stronger magnet, not fully demag springs

like is it 2021

[snow yarrow]

Not releasing them in china first was kinda suspicious to me tbh

As if they knew their first batch was ass

[quasi hinge]

Frame it and look at it every time you want to do something questionable

[glacial wind]

I like my other Wuque stuff but I’ve always known they had issues with things like customer service and such lol

[sacred elm]

gonna say this again that this is just so sad because they feel way better than any of other switches ive tried, even poms

blunder

[glacial wind]

Even back when I was ordering my zoom75 awhile back now people were ordering them from vendors and not direct from meletrix because of their issues with support

[tropic urchin]

Maybe I shouldn’t ask manus for any updates

Theoretically if I never asked this wouldn’t have come out 🤣

[sacred elm]

placebo obliterated in my head, thank you🤬

[glacial wind]

It’s always been a bit of a shame because they are legitimately really good at some stuff. Like their basic doubleshot keycaps are some of the best budget keycaps when on sale, their switch puller is also goated

[tropic urchin]

“When are we getting long springs?….” ugh the switch is a failure and will self destruct..” HUH??

[quasi hinge]

I lost an entire group buy on the jris80 to mykeyclub

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

The weird part is I have absolutely 0 issues despite their background fiasco

[sacred elm]

i played marvel rivals for 9 hours straight yesterday, day was ruined. thank you varedis for asking d about long springs

[snow yarrow]

On the positive side tho, pretty much all issues can be easily fixed or bypassed, like not pulling the switches for the legs or replacing the springs with ones they plan on releasing

The real issue is that magnet strength thingy, thats truly fked up

[sacred elm]

i havent noticed any issues at all but yeah, you cant do anything about magnets

unless they send replacement stems or something (not happening)

[glacial wind]

Maybe that’s why ttc have their mascot as ‘magneto but legally not magneto’

He has control over magnets

[sacred elm]

im about to put pom magnets in flux

[glacial wind]

That was Wuques real mistake

[sacred elm]

worlds greatest switch

[glacial wind]

Maybe someone needs iceman. According to lore he’s actually stronger than magneto and creates ice by changing subatomic particles

Should have been the iceman switch

[sacred elm]

@tawdry tree all of this flux conversations reminds me when we would tell people there is more to consider when picking a switch. I kept telling people that magnet quality was a real thing and no one believed it. Then when the first batch of raptors came out with crazy magnet swings, people started to believe.

How quickly everyone forgot

[kind helm]

flux has issue with flux?

[sacred elm]

flux is not very flux

[stray tiger]

@fluid ravine

frog leggera is after

is bauer lite the plastic case?

captain sinking with his ship, I can respect it

we can think of something else that is not the top performer yet is still being recommended since top players use it but i am not gonna say the name.

2/10 rage bait

[kind helm]

not really, just think the statements are equally delulu

[glacial wind]

I mean for real though, it’s been argued like 4739283 times and every time it goes back to you saying “I don’t care if other people don’t have my preferences, I’m correct and believe it’s correct”

Why not just stop trying to rage bait the topic out instead

there's really no need to keep trying to do rage bait nonsense, especially after an entire group of people got banned/timed out for rage baiting and making the asmosphere in chat suck

[sacred elm]

what statements? that raptors are outdated piece of garbage and the nonsense you wrote above?

[fringe quarry]

my fav players uses a normal keyboard so HE is trash now

[chilly mural]

frfr

[kind helm]

its funny that you think raptors is outdated because of its performance yet somehow wooting is not

[glacial wind]

and he's back at it again.

[sacred elm]

so do you actually think those statements are equally delulu? lol

raptors literally nerf your keyboard because of stronger magnet, also in which world wooting isnt top performer anymore? because it doesnt have adjustable deadzone and 0.0001 rt? you are literally using wooting settings on your venom so whats this yap

[glacial wind]

take the hint josh. An entire group was literally reported repeatedly by many people until they were banned/timed out from the server because no one enjoyed the channel constantly devolving into ragebait and mocking each other to validate x keyboard/switch as the correct preference. Go to HE discord or another discord if you want to have these discussions

[kind helm]

i am only saying that because bro started shitting on raptor for the reason people shit on wooting

[glacial wind]

it's the literal wooting server

[fringe quarry]

as long as no one criticizes raeds

[tidal frigate]

Agreed, raeds best switch

[sacred elm]

bro keeps repeating same shit for months

arent you tired

[snow yarrow]

This is the weirdest thing in observed since joining the server. Theres people calling others "wooting shills" on the official wooting server, like, where else did you expect them to be? In the geon server arguing or what?

[sacred elm]

you argued about this like 10 times

[fringe quarry]

geon server doesnt have enough activity for that

lol

[glacial wind]

yeah it's basically the other servers aren't active enough for them to have the stupid argument so they come to the literal wooting server to say it then complain that people have other reasons for liking wooting here

[sacred elm]

why dont you use mm studio keyboard with quintillion scan ratr and 0.0001 rt precision

what is this yap about performance, its just so boring

[glacial wind]

like come on man. Guys acting like joshiba is the reason the entire hobby gets a bad rep at times because they can't just accept that other preferences are valid and not everyone has to share or conform to their specific meta preferences

venom is great for x reasons. wooting is great for y reasons. It's not some "you can only have one preference and choice"

[tropic urchin]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

Seems relevant

[glacial wind]

yeah it's obvious he's just trying to set off shafie when he does it

[sacred elm]

i think you told him the same at least 7 times

[glacial wind]

but the dumb thing is all his friends who do it have literally been banned/timed out for doing it so much and he can't take the hint

no one wants the toxic bs rage baiting, take it somewhere else

[kind helm]

i think the only one i know who got banned was mj, who else got banned?

That’s true, he told me to let him know as soon as the 16mm f1.8 lens comes back in stock

He didn’t say it in words but you can tell it’s what he wanted

[quasi hinge]

Yeah, ill show you how to process analog film in a dark room

Red light

Some equipment

Fun times

[glacial wind]

Be careful if you start seeing a countdown of numbers appear in your developed photos and a strange organization of scientists contacts you

[quasi hinge]

Reference over my head

[calm pulsar]

yeah he usually just puts tears of happiness reactions whenever you talk lenses with him

😭

[glacial wind]

you have some fun times ahead of you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three-Body_Problem_(novel)

[quasi hinge]

Ohhhhh this

Yeah I lost interest when I realized the premise was that they were not here yet

https://youtu.be/DkU7ZqbADRs?feature=shared

[glacial wind]

It’s gets extremely interesting as the plot develops

a lot of very far off space theories played out in the second and third books

[quasi hinge]

But based on them not being here yet

Want me to recommend something wild?

In return

[glacial wind]

Them being not here is only for part of book 1 iirc

The story accelerates a lot as it goes. As in hundreds to thousands of years as the plot develops

My rec

Check out his book Abduction by john mack

Harvard psychologist (pulitzer prize winner)

Head of the department

[quasi hinge]

Thanks ill check out it, book or show?

[glacial wind]

show only goes to end of book 1 right now

a lot of the crazy sci fi stuff happens in book 2 and 3

[quasi hinge]

Okay

Maybe some overlap with my rec

Ill see if they have it locally

[stray tiger]

Speaking of books, Ive got 2 hours left of the 55 hour book Ive been listening to lol

[glacial wind]

[sick jackal]

So, I've been recommended SwagKeys Knight V3 Stabs. I see that they're in stock from CannonKeys. Do they ship from the U.S.?

[fluid ravine]

Ahh

Well

She waiting for smth new from wooting

[tropic urchin]

Their HQ looks to be in Rhode Island so I’d assume that’s a safe bet

[sick jackal]

Gotcha, I wasn't certain so I thought I'd ask.

[tropic urchin]

A good strat is to find their about us page and usually it’ll have some good info

[stray tiger]

Yes

[sick jackal]

Gotcha, I'll keep that in mind. Though Stabs are the last thing on my list to purchase.

[trail bane]

Hi crunch church

[untold wigeon]

is there a difference between the clear one?

[sacred elm]

material

[tropic urchin]

Bottom is full POM material (will have darkened RGB) and top has PC top housing which will give you better RGB with probably some sound variation

[untold wigeon]

oh okay

so basically if idc about rgb better to get the full plastic one for better sound?

[sacred elm]

you will still need to hand lube them btw, they sound very plasticky without hand lube

because there are only three small dots of lube on the bottom

[glacial wind]

Both are full plastic, just different types of plastic, but yeah if you don’t care about rgb then the pom would be the better pick

[untold wigeon]

ah okay, i have some cheap aliex lube from before, does the lube brand matter or nah

[untold wigeon]

thanks reply

[glacial wind]

Generally no, although it’s likely fake krytox it’ll usually be fine

[bold violet]

Are there any low pro switches I can use?

[sacred elm]

no

[untold wigeon]

thanks reply

[glacial wind]

Check the switch list site stickied, then sort by switch travel

[night atlas]

My sources is this channel, but i'm curious how y'all find out about the other shit

[sacred elm]

japanese reviewers on twitter

OEM boards have had build quality down for a while now
