Lots of keycaps in the world lol

visual grotto
#

kinda scared if it dont fir

polar girder
#

Profile, material or feature choice?

visual grotto
#

fit

#

moneys tight rn :>

polar girder
#

Any MX stem keycap will fit

#

Most profiles will work

#

Just don’t buy some weird Topre thing and you probably fine

marsh saffron
#

Yeah like 99% of the keycaps you will find will work

any good specific brand?

Dead zone discussion

glacial wind
#

They’re right in that some deadzone leads to better usability

#

I always find it hilarious when people ask for absurd levels of sensitivity mixed with zero deadzone and I wonder what they’d even use it in

#

Most folks would end up making their own valorant or cs strafing inconsistent if they tried to play with some of the absurdly low settings they request

stray tiger
#

Yeah but less then 0.2mm puts you in the zone of it being too low that you get a ton of false actuations

#

The way they summarize it as tilt vs press is a simple visual for most people

glacial wind
#

Yeah I think venom has had its own back and forth with it too when they first tested 0 deadzone in the beta versions and it caused issues

polar girder
stray tiger
tawdry tree
# polar girder

that enforced deadzone is odd, I don’t think it works yet

stray tiger
#

Well yeah, but we are talking about the flux maxxers who have no idea what they are asking for

#

Smalla numba is gudder

tawdry tree
#

I’d think Woot has an advantage when entering the road to the bottom game. Only they have firmware that can learn from the switch and dynamic change the deadzone afaik

#

Doing the literal impossible according to Zenaim lol

#

They don’t have devs with magic hands for sure

sacred elm
#

LOL, i think that will be hard to do

#

I might be wrong, not sure

#

Fluxes have issues on benom

tawdry tree
#

Don’t think you’re wrong. There isn’t a board yet that can display true raw flux before calibration afaik

#

Oh

#

it’s about fluxes lol

sacred elm
#

Some keys dont actuate at all, unless you manually calibrate it

#

No issues at all on wooting rn tho

I have the Optimum Wooting 60HE+. Can anyone tell me if the gateron Ink V2 Pro Screw in Stabilizers will fit. If not can you recommend any?

polar girder

Need to go back to Placebo Maxxer

trim parcel
#

Because these have a much slower return than I'm used to.

tawdry tree
#

Hmm, did you change anything about them or are they stock?

tidal frigate
trim parcel
#

No, I just lubed the switches. Not the stabs.

tawdry tree
#

Did they feel slow before you lubed the switches?

#

You can get other stabs but if you got the Module, you’re better off tuning them that getting new ones.

#

The Module comes stock with Gateron stabs and I don’t think they’re very different from Ink V2s (they are very different but I don’t know if they’ll fit)

polar girder

#

Thanx, If anybody has a compatible list of stabs please let me know. I'm waiting on my GMK 's to get here and was gonna mod the stabs while I was at it.

tidal frigate

Do like the friction fit pad? I got the pom ttc wooting switches. It sounds amazing but I do feel that maybe it takes some of the sound out.

Thank you. I'm new to the modding but I'm finding it additive.

Tons of stabs out there. I've been a big fan of the YIKB ones for a while now

No issues on the HE+. I do tend to prefer the SW Knight's v1 to the v3's though

Mixing switches on a PCB?

polar girder

That’s crazy

tawdry tree
polar girder
stray tiger
polar girder
#

My SW are not very smooth

#

Like where the wire meets the little silicone in the housing adds some friction that makes it more difficult to press than it should be

stray tiger
# polar girder That’s crazy

A lot of people prefer a different switch for their space bar or just the WASD keys. Sometimes for sound, sometimes for travel distance

tawdry tree
#

and Typeplus stabs are fat

trim parcel
#

The pom ttc wooting's are amazing!

tulip rapids
stray tiger
#

For example the issue I had with the SW V3's my spacebar wires kept slipping out when pulling the keycap. I posted about it here and some others had the same problem. I ended up using a V1 wire on the V3 housing.

Honestly the best thing to do is keep the stock stabs and clean them and then tune from scratch

polar girder
#

Yeah stock stabs rock

#

Need to figure out my stab problem at some point

#

Space bar feels solid but rest of the mods are frustrating

trim parcel
#

I lubed them with Krytox 205G0. It sounds really great. Even with the friction fit pad.

stray tiger
trim parcel
#

Its good.

polar girder
#

Will do. Thanks.

It’s frustrating I’m not done with it. đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«

stray tiger

I don’t.

I view it as a necessary evil.

Now you gotta stop spending money on boards and start buying more skins!

Still waiting to pull a knife at some point dogekek

Always on the prowl tho lol

fluid ravine

Even with just one hand

Tried at least 6 configs on my neo

Now time to do it again td

Switches arrived @stray tiger

#

What is better/worse magnetic flux and what does it actually do on a functional level, regardless if the avg person can feel the differences or not?

#

I hear about it all the time but never actually knew what it was

#

would "worse" flux values cause ghost inputs, double presses etc?

little glen
#

any idea when/if the HE board is happening?

stray tiger
little glen
#

same time?

stray tiger
#

yes

little glen
#

its 1 am for me 😭

tawdry tree
night atlas
#

ooooooooooooooooooooooh

#

that makes a LOT of sense

#

good to know

tawdry tree
#

Worse would be very inconsistent flux values from switch to switch like the Fluxes have (allegedly).

night atlas
#

time to flux max and swear i can feel the differences

#

and blame that for my reason being hardstuck plat

#

also, wtf are gateron luminaries? lol

tawdry tree
#

A new switch that doesn’t exist yet

#

supposed to be a fan composed switch

#

if they will listen to everyone who submitted their switch is the question..

my excuse is that my friend's bday is soon and that i'll give him a massive switch variety pack for his new wooting

i was incredibly disappointed to say the least LOL

though i do like just having extra switches i don't use for frankenswitches

wonder what non-PC top housings would fit and work well w/ti HEs

also that name makes me feel like there's titanium in that switch lol

Or plug in user error

More likely use cable not plugged all the way in. Make sure they are using the stock cable

paper bloom

Theyre the stock

Its all the way in

As i got told

Ill ask the person to make a community post

No way its the PCB

And a dhl box

stray tiger
#

Yeah if they are using the stock cable in a known good port and both ends are 100% plugged all the way in, then they could check the JST cable

kinda checking on these now

glacial wind
#

the owlab ti is basically the best 'clean' sounding switch right now, if you're looking for oldschool mx thock it doesn't exist at all in HE due to switch design

inland sparrow
#

im a more muted, creamy/thocky kind

calm pulsar
#

17 layers of tape

glacial wind
#

your entire list there is all clack too

inland sparrow
calm pulsar
glacial wind
#

until someone redesigns magnetic switch and finds a way around having a magnet in the middle making everything sound clacky you'll just have to pick a clacky switch

inland sparrow
#

this makes my brain melt

glacial wind
#

that's an mx video

inland sparrow
#

but i know HE has its draw backs, but trying to get as close to this

glacial wind
#

it doesn't exist. period.

inland sparrow
#

i know it will never be the same or close

glacial wind
#

you will not get close and no one before you have gotten close

calm pulsar
#

we've been there

inland sparrow
#

sadge

calm pulsar
#

embrace the clack

inland sparrow
#

HAHAHAHHAA

#

unless....

distant crag
#

ur ice ultra? sounds deep and clean from vids

glacial wind
#

basically think of it like this: we've have 1937492 people come in regularly for the past 2 years and not a single one has managed to get creamy thock

glacial wind
inland sparrow
calm pulsar
#

just get a good clean sounding switch

#

ti he for instance

#

and find a plate of preference from there

inland sparrow
#

if im to embrace the clack

#

the ones i saw and leaned towards were :

tidal frigate
inland sparrow
#

Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro
TTC KOM RBG
Everglide Sticky Rice V2

tidal frigate
#

And carbon fiber plate

inland sparrow
#

somewhere along these lines

inland sparrow
glacial wind
glacial wind
#

it's why we recommended owlab ti at the start. It's basically the best of all the 'clack' options right now

stray tiger
#

Its my go to switch atm

distant crag
#

yeah. im sticking with my owlab until the next best comes 😂

chilly mural
#

Same

distant crag
# chilly mural Same

you have tiger lite w/ owlabs right? care to share some soundtest? 😄 I want tkl too

chilly mural
#

So expect one at subway if the sound is not too bad

inland sparrow
#

hmmmm it does sound deeper than the ones i mentioned earlier

was this factory lube ?

distant crag
#

all of them should come pre-lubed

inland sparrow
#

i like overlubing mine usually

#

just waiting for my poron foam to arrive to see how much it changes the sound profile

glacial saffron
#

I've seen this question on Reddit, but just in case anyone is wondering, Glorious Raptor HE Clicky switches — while not officially supported — DO work with Wooting's boards. (Would imagine that applies to Glorious's other HE switches as well.) I installed the Raptors in my 80HE and leds, and mods all work as expected. So far as I know, these are the only clicky HE switches on the mareket. Might have limited appeal for most gamers, as the click won't necessarily match the actuation, if that matters to you. But they are actually pretty nice for typing.

inland sparrow
#

tried using the car sound dampeners, sounded horrible, it was so clacky

inland sparrow
#

looking at the owlab ti right now

sacred elm
#

from those options only jade pros are good

#

but owlabs have less wobble

inland sparrow
#

mehh wobble doesnt affect me, i usually bottom out when typing

sacred elm
#

bottom out wobble exists

inland sparrow
inland sparrow
#

so i considering comparisons, i think i should be safe

sacred elm
#

you will feel it when you try tighter switches

inland sparrow
sacred elm
#

jade maxes have issues

#

dont buy them

inland sparrow
#

i recalled there was an issues with maxes right

#

what was it ?

sacred elm
#

friction issues

inland sparrow
#

something about getting stuck or something right

sacred elm
#

take a look at ur ice ultra, they are deeper than owlab switches and have similar ish wobble too

inland sparrow
#

damn... but they sound so nice

sacred elm
#

Theyre on aliexpress

inland sparrow
#

i have taobao here hahahha i can ship direct from CN

#

why cant i find any sound test for ur ice ultra lolll

sacred elm
#

this is 60he so sound is gonna be different

#

but theyre potentially what you want

inland sparrow
#

ok so now....

#

Owlab Ti
UR Ice Ultra

#

but Owlab has more sound profiles to hear on videos

#

ur ice is new ? i dont see a lot of sound test on these

glacial wind
#

they're just 1 of many variations of very similar switches basically

#

the tl;dr is there's like 192749192 variations of the same switch. Owlabs are just one of the best ones with cleanest sound so it gets recommended the most

inland sparrow
#

would it be stupid to import like 1 switch of each hahahhahah

glacial wind
#

nah you can do that if you want, although honestly speaking there's not a huge difference between most of the switches if they're in the same rough 'generation'

#

basically it goes like manu has a new mold that's x tight and smooth, then 1937482 switches come out in that rough spec, then next gen comes out that's a little bit tighter and smoother, then 18273929 switches come out again etc etc

there's even some switches that are just recolors of the owlab ti, like the duhuk herz which seem to just be recolored owlab

#

the fun part is when they add a random word to make it more confusing

inland sparrow
#

ive been at this for 2 months

glacial wind
#

like there's ur ice and ur ice ultra but they look almost the same in both look and marketing so sometimes you have to look carefully when buying

inland sparrow
#

so far the nicest ones are the ones you guys recommmened

#

cuz mainstream kept pushing at jade pros or max

#

but from both sound test im hearing the ice to be lower pitched and deeper

#

might go with that

#

or just buy both LOLLLL

glacial wind
#

mainstream is just behind by 6 months or whatever because it hasn't spread out to general population yet since these switches only came out recently

sacred elm
#

make sure you get ultras and not ice maxes or regular ice

inland sparrow
#

at this point, im like friggin $1.2k in... i dont think i can make it any worse

distant crag
#

just buy both. for me I prefer the ice ultra for the deeper sound. but my order got cancelled 😩

glacial wind
#

oh you can. There's that owlabs raffle coming up soon

glacial wind
#

you could win the chance to increase that spending another $400

inland sparrow
#

but i dont have that kind of issue, i have access to direct manufacturers

distant crag
glacial wind
#

no joke the dealer in aus had to cancel some owlabs orders in the last raffle because the guy tried to sell his raffle win before it even shipped

sacred elm
#

what if gaterons new switch is pure thock

glacial wind
#

he literally won then immediately posted the raffle win to the local mech market groups selling it for 1.5-2x

#

so they tracked down his order and cancelled it lol

distant crag
#

lol really bad move

inland sparrow
#

yooo the Ice Ultras are hella cheap

#

84pcs for $SGD 35

glacial wind
#

yeah a large amount of these switches are very reasonably priced at like 0.4 or so per switch

inland sparrow
#

was ready to cough like $100

distant crag
glacial wind
#

it's kind of bad news for @sacred elm though, he's had a rough day

its prob his mods on top of it tho

@distant crag btw, + shipping from CN is $41 SGD

dunno where you at , could cost more

distant crag

if krepublic wont restock the clear version, I will just purchase the sakuras. free shipping

cant find any clear ice ultra anymore

the original store has blue ice, but i'm waiting for the dealers to get them

it depends on location

was just about to say hahahha

this one has blues

#

oh guys

#

UR Studio Ice and UR Ice Ultra

#

is different right

#

its not the same ?

fallen pecan

yes dont get the old one

inland sparrow

kinda confusing

is the sw knights stabs good?

#

i hate the typeplus spacebar

calm pulsar

skill issue

#

but sw knights good

untold wigeon
#

i put tons of lube still loud

#

i tried to retune them

#

still loud

#

only the spacebar

#

đŸ˜©

inland sparrow
#

prob a stabilizer issue ?

calm pulsar
#

try different switches, caps
stabs really should not affect the sound

untold wigeon
#

i might try it on wooting first tho

#

on my last leggera

#

it was quite loud

fallen pecan
#

put a single raed switch on spacebar, problem solved

inland sparrow
#

the original wooting stabs are hella rattly

untold wigeon
untold wigeon
#

that's the reason i bought module

inland sparrow
#

i swapped it out for the nylon staebies 2.1

untold wigeon
#

uhhh staebies

#

i have heard about them

#

never tried it

#

no vendor in my country

inland sparrow
#

i was against it at first, but its actually solid

#

it changes the sound profile by miles

untold wigeon
#

staebies or typeplus better tho?

#

i fell in love with typeplus wire

inland sparrow
#

i never used typeplus before, no comment

#

ask the other veterans hahahahah

untold wigeon
#

crap

#

typeplus sold out on my vendor

inland sparrow
#

hold up

#

lucky for you

#

i got a friend that has both LOLLLL

untold wigeon
#

I think there is no point for asking staebies rn

#

there is no vendor's in my country that sells them

inland sparrow
#

yeahh no he says staebies still goated

#

he says typeplus rattly

untold wigeon
#

i might try to purchase from taobao (?)

i'm still confused at why someone would cheat in a charity tournament and then deny the blatent cheating, then drop out and get banned and pretend it was an accident

#

it's like masterclass in picking the wrong pr move over and over

inland sparrow
#

question

calm pulsar
inland sparrow
#

does swapping out the springs in a HE switch affect anything ?

#

like i recalled reading some saying HE switches cannot do spring swaps

calm pulsar
#

gateron-lekker-raws are interchangeable springs

inland sparrow
calm pulsar
#

ttc have their own diameter and WS flux have their own

#

not sure about others

inland sparrow
#

so it kinda depends right

calm pulsar
#

never used ice ultras, so not sure

#

if they have a conventional design like gateron or raw/ti he then replacement springs will likely work

inland sparrow
#

also something about it affects the magnets

calm pulsar
#

they are mostly made from non magnetic materials

#

or at least should be lol

inland sparrow
#

hmmmm i see

#

not sure how the mechanics work

#

35gm is just hella light to me hahhahaha

sacred elm
#

50 bottom out

inland sparrow
#

im using the lekker 45s

#

its too light for me

#

60s is too heavy

#

thought 50 would be a nice middle ground

sacred elm
#

then ur ice is between them

#

5g heavier than L45

inland sparrow
#

ohhh ok, i guess my brain read it as 45gm initial force

sacred elm
#

5g lighter initial force and 10g lighter bottom out than L60

inland sparrow
#

so i dont need to swap hahahahha

inland sparrow
#

initial force for lekker 45 is 30gm

#

this is 35gm

sacred elm
#

yes

inland sparrow
#

sickk

#

still curious about the spring swaps tho hahahha

oh I see

#

either way johnny somali is screwed because he distributed deepfakes of people right after korea passed a giant law against deepfakes

#

it was literally national news of deepfakes being an issue and entire news cycle was how to stop it for months, then he came in and did that lol

calm pulsar
#

scandalous individual

#

that's a good law to be passed imo

glacial wind
#

couldn't have timed it better to get himself in trouble. I think it was literally like 1 month after the government passed new laws making punishments for it insanely harsh, then this clown came in and made everyone in nation hate him while using deepfakes to make fun of people

calm pulsar
#

at least I would expect it from a guy who is asking to be stream sniped irl💀

silent bison
#

hi yall how do yall fix keycap stem fitting loose

night atlas
glacial wind
#

not all that interesting

#

specs on it seem same as every other switch

calm pulsar
#

this looks like a convenitonal stem was increased in height to become box-like

glacial wind
#

yeah raesha did something with the stems there where some photos make it look replacable even like ttc

#

i don't really get their marketing bit about it suppression vibration though - surely you wouldn't want your switch to be changing the actuation/vibration of your presses and you'd want software to do that instead

glacial wind
#

stem seems to be in 2 parts and somehow they claim that helps vibration or something

calm pulsar
#

ah my favorite permanent earth magnets

glacial wind
#

yeah except it's round and not fully stuck there

#

their flux numbers are also +-70 at bottom out so i don't know what amazing magnets they're using but they must have used the cheap amazing magnets lol

calm pulsar
glacial wind
#

yeah they're basically claiming that this movement will help reduce vibration effects on presses, but to me it sounds like it would just make it more annoying for good software to compensate properly

#

like you're actively making the switches move more and saying it's going to help lol

calm pulsar
#

yeah you'd think magnet actually moving would be so bad for precision

glacial wind
#

then again drunkdeer's rt match and all that stuff has been a messy inaccurate disaster in tests so maybe their software is so bad that this is good for them

marsh saffron
#

or at least it was

#

last i head it was awful though

fallen pecan
#

still dogshit, latest tests say the a75ultra polls at 2k, scans at 2.6k

prime orbit
#

I think switches have pretty much plateau

chilly mural
fallen pecan
#

$150

#

250 was the master

chilly mural
#

Oh yeah

#

But damn, 150

#

There's more better options at that price

fallen pecan
#

the ultra places 4th

#

...from the bottom

#

the only selling point is that it has a ghetto version of the wooting owlabs case

calm pulsar
#

thin metal sheet with springs feels like it would be pingy

fallen pecan
#

they cheaped out on the alu as well

#

this is the base of a $50 irok board

#

yurrrr

calm pulsar
#

soft crack

fluid ravine
#

idk why but milky yellow spacebar just smacks

#

i suppose if i film these they should make them sound fuller

#

which would be great

calm pulsar

dam I should've got films for my mx blacks probably

fluid ravine
#

cherry springs are shiiiiiiiiiiiit

calm pulsar
#

😼

#

even the latest mx2a switches?

fluid ravine
#

yess

#

it's basically cherry recycling their springs

#

xd

calm pulsar
#

bruh

#

maybe ill just order milky yellows after that xd

fluid ravine
#

and you should lube them ofc

#

best to buy them unlube and lube em yourself

#

film and spring swap

#

otherwise everything about the mx blacks are great

fluid ravine
#

i need nixies :C

#

might pick up some deskey films

#

or tx switch films idk

calm pulsar
#

I could also order some hmx from aliexpress, though the selection is not that big there

#

hmx probably dont need anything

fluid ravine
#

hmx lube and shit has been consistent

calm pulsar
#

these geon switches made by hmx even had springs lubed

fluid ravine
#

they're mostly like trying new shit

#

with molds and what not

fallen pecan
untold wigeon
#

tried my best

glacial wind
#

there's no rattle at all

untold wigeon
#

might be because the bottom row is kinda hollow

glacial wind
#

did you put foam in? Sound loudness like that isn't usually to do with the stab specifically
