smh not a degenerate like us

[glacial wind]

maybe you need to be able to view the world in a better LENS

[polar girder]

My god lol

Where there’s a will there’s a way

[trail bane]

Їжа?

[sacred elm]

@glacial wind imagine if that ugly blue switch without lube wins

[glacial wind]

i know my vote went to the right place

[sacred elm]

@tawdry tree

[glacial wind]

who wants a dusty stem, mx all the way

a stem made from dust? that's crazy talk - vote ugly blue, mx, no lube

[sacred elm]

They made it even more confusing

so good

cant tell which one is uglier

[calm pulsar]

gateron keeps milking recolors

[calm pulsar]

pic didnt load but looks about right

[tropic urchin]

Even discord knows it’s shit

[uneven cradle]

I'm not sure either it's looking unlikely now

[glacial wind]

tragic. I will wear my geon t shirt alone

[sacred elm]

You will regret those words

[uneven cradle]

Have to post some pics for sure

[mossy river]

wish they made a yellow one

because lemon :D

[uneven cradle]

So sad I'll be so close yet so far

[glacial wind]

embrace the ugliness, vote blue

[sacred elm]

make this with box stem and we talk

sorry

Dust*

[tropic urchin]

I regret… NOTHING

[sacred elm]

At least they will work on venom ☠️

wtf

[glacial wind]

you guys just haven't seen the beauty of blue. Discord is helping you

embrace your oceanic side

[glacial wind]

what if this picture is the start of what begins the blue wave

[sacred elm]

Tell that to wuque studios bro💔

[glacial wind]

a revolution of blue votes

make switches great again. Blue housing, mx stem, no lube

[cyan lark]

Sno I'm so tired

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/letter-d-bounce-gif-14717691

[cyan lark]

I don't wanna be great no more

[glacial wind]

that's a symptom of lacking quality sony lenses

i'm curious to see how long it would take to sell out if they put 1 single owlabs case for $1000 to US buyers

there's at least 1 crazy person who would pay that

[tropic urchin]

You have time to write to the Democratic party to alter their course 🫦

[sacred elm]

Varedis

[glacial wind]

some oil inheritence guy who is willing to shell out $1k for the owlabs case

[tropic urchin]

I don’t even like the owlab case that much lmao

[tropic urchin]

Js

[glacial wind]

it's like the oil princes in the streaming space. The guys who would go from WoW stream to WoW stream donating absurd amounts randomly

there must be some US based oil barons

[tidal frigate]

Sounds like counterstrike thing

[calm pulsar]

twitch thing

[glacial wind]

i think they're in every streaming space. They just got a ton of money due to oil stuff and donating to streamers is their fun money

[calm pulsar]

if I was an oil prince I still wouldnt buy the owlab case

[glacial wind]

one of them paid $5k to a friend to shave his head

[little glen]

a lot of those giant donations are basically just scams where the person refunds after the stream is over and fucks over the streamer

[sacred elm]

Bro, have you noticed anything strange in latest wooting video? Body language of sander on 1:43 is kinda sussy... Wonder if that means that 60he tmr is coming

[tropic urchin]

Solid gold leggera we can talk for $1k

[little glen]

thats why a lot of those streamers dont get super excited about big donos anymore

[glacial wind]

nah i mean actual oil princes

like you would look them up and they're literally oil princes from dubai and such

the wow space was particularly filled with them because a lot of them would pay for raid gear

go on a raid, pay everyone on raid to give you the item

so they'd go on popular wow streamers and just drop $1k here and there for fun

[sacred elm]

😳

[cyan lark]

People sometimes forget that the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is about a billion dollars

[mental salmon]

Does the Optimum case meet what you need? How tall is the case in the right?

[cyan lark]

Folks in that upper echelon have so much goddamn money dropping a few g's is like buying a nice coffee

(for us)

[glacial wind]

yeah one of the first guys in the google ads space was famous for that actually

he was making $100k a month when google ads was suddenly launched, so he'd play mmorpgs and be the guy buying every endgame item

and he's not even as rich as those oil guys lol

[cyan lark]

Right

[snow yarrow]

If i was one of them oil guys, id pay wooting to release a 65% pcb, just to piss shf off

[glacial wind]

65% keyboard, dvorak hardwired only

anyone who buys must type in dvorak

[tidal frigate]

Calder and erik has to agree

[sacred elm]

wdym

I dont mind 65

[glacial wind]

65% and dvorak typing it is

you heard shafie

[snow yarrow]

Mb, i thought u were the local 65% hater 😭 😭

[sacred elm]

no, thats arc

[calm pulsar]

thats me

[sacred elm]

I would use 65, thats all I need basically

[calm pulsar]

venom65 there for you

[snow yarrow]

U hear this blasphemy @calm pulsar

[sacred elm]

im good

[glacial wind]

oh i found some nice old thumbnail files other day that you will like @calm pulsar

[prime orbit]

65 the best

[calm pulsar]

in all seriousness liking 65 is totally fine, not everyone is weird like me and likes the aesthetics of 60 7u layout, some people dont even look for any aesthetics in a layout

[snow yarrow]

How about gateron gt65 pro sakura edition?

[sacred elm]

No man, this is not real layout

[little glen]

65 would be cool but i like having f row for some applications/games

[calm pulsar]

is that you shaving your head because you were donated 5k?

[glacial wind]

it was supposed to make you type more efficiently

[sacred elm]

How

[glacial wind]

nah it's Chanimal doing it lol

before his bald phase due to that

[snow yarrow]

Nah im with you here, 60% looks the cleaneast imo

But i dont really have a dog in the layout fight, to me theyre all nice, other than full size

[glacial wind]

i forget, but it's supposedly to be a better way to place the letters or something. I have no idea if it was ever actually faster or not

[little glen]

i finally solved a problem i was hardstuck on by redoing it in a new file, it working there immediately and then copying it over to my old file

no clue what changed

[tidal frigate]

Polish qwerty layout best layout

[calm pulsar]

this sounds like such a wow name lol

[cyan lark]

Oh I'm with you, 60% is beautiful. I just need to make some compromises so that I can actually main a board.

[calm pulsar]

cause it reads like chainmail initially

[glacial wind]

i think he retired now last I read

but he'll definitely go down as the warlock goat

him and snutz

[tropic urchin]

@sacred elm owlab case deposit into FXAIX

[calm pulsar]

I frankly don't know that many famous wow players, but I think I saw snutz at the latest hardcore duel tournament

[glacial wind]

yeah snutz and him are og og, like reckful and sodapoppin era

except they kept playing and basically stayed at top of the game the entire time

[calm pulsar]

oh damn reckful
funny I never watched him and only loosely heard about him passing and blizzard making an npc about him

watching his old pvp videos and latest non wow stuff was surreal

[sacred elm]

I have never played wow

[calm pulsar]

I was like 6 when it launched, but wow classic helped me see how it was in the beginning, at least partially

[sacred elm]

I was 3 years old

[chilly mural]

I was -2 years old

[sacred elm]

[glacial wind]

imagine not having realm first tiger mount on your server at 3 years old. Disgraceful

[tropic urchin]

Zygote during the good times

[glacial wind]

wouldn't catch me sleeping like that

[snow yarrow]

I cant help but notice that since past weeks the discussions in this channel have become way too civilized, could we maybe invite the he switch discord folks back, so we can start flinging some shit around again? Sincerely, a concerned wooting shill @glacial wind

[sacred elm]

My bad

[calm pulsar]

I have a confession to make

[tropic urchin]

I remember playing when I was 8 during TBC days

Good times

[glacial wind]

don't worry, every time a new he related discord opens up you can join it and witness mayhem for the first week before they lose interest/get banned

[tropic urchin]

Hellfire peninsula iykyk

[calm pulsar]

as a holy pally, I rolled need on the epic mail chest from the brd dungeon

forgot how it was called

[tropic urchin]

Unironically I kinda agree

I miss my drama fix

[chilly mural]

This place has become peaceful

[glacial wind]

honestly those were the best times though. When no one knew anything and you made dumb mistakes

I used a 1.3 speed dagger as a rogue until 60 because no one realized it did less damage back then

it just had a high dps number so it must have been better

[calm pulsar]

smh didn't you know you could check rogue guides on roguecraft

[sacred elm]

All I played was cs 1.6 and minecraft

[tropic urchin]

Ew

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/late-night-seth-spray-purell-disinfect-the-mouth-to-prevent-the-virus-gif-16808513

[sacred elm]

1.6 was peak

[calm pulsar]

fy_pool_day with the homies

we had a computer club right in our school

[sacred elm]

wait what was that map called

fy_snow

holy

[tidal frigate]

Polish minecraft factions was peak. American factions sound like easy mode

[sacred elm]

[calm pulsar]

ohh so good

[solar tundra]

So the Owlab Case is just an Overpriced Case if i understand right

420 Hommage i see

[snow yarrow]

Started on 1.6, but css cleared

surf_greatriver is absolute peak

[calm pulsar]

it has a whole page dedicated to it

[solar tundra]

Yeah thats what im saying

[sacred elm]

I skipped source, jumped from 1.6 to GO

[tidal frigate]

No, it is luxury item only for eu bros

[snow yarrow]

Or surf_legends, turning on the wind turbines on them losers in jail

[solar tundra]

it might be THE thocky case

[sacred elm]

It sounds nice

[calm pulsar]

hell na

[tidal frigate]

Owlab is known from clack

[solar tundra]

im trolling dw

[cyan lark]

Which case is cream

[solar tundra]

Looks like a Transformer if you ask me

[solar tundra]

but the soundtest doesnt sound like clack

[sacred elm]

😆

[solar tundra]

just clean sound of the switch

is the akko astrolink switch any good

[glacial wind]

seems fine

oh i can probably update list as tested now since seen a few astrolinks in wootings

we had anyone in the channel actually test the akko astrolink switches?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koftzvc8_qA

[calm pulsar]

I think aligner got em

[calm pulsar]

calderman

[glacial wind]

lol is calder trying to use the autoframing or gimbal tracking?

[chilly mural]

@tidal frigate time for you to do more easter egg searching

[glacial wind]

the movement reminds me of the zv-e1 auto framing, but i don't think he uses a zve1

they should make calder do an obstacle course while filming next video. It'll be a flex of motor skills that is needed as ceo of wooting

[sacred elm]

No leaks, gg

[glacial wind]

you didn't read body language

need to work on your jakubixology

[sacred elm]

I'll let jakubixAI do that

[polar girder]

lol

Is the thock in the room with us?

[tidal frigate]

There is no leaks

[calm pulsar]

yep wooting hacked his account ggs

[tropic urchin]

Owlab x holy80 case when 🥀

[little glen]

true, holy80 should be 420 dollars

[tidal frigate]

[sacred elm]

Cursed

[tropic urchin]

$690 post tariffs would be nice

[ruby hill]

I tested KOM POM, flux, and Ti HE with both the venom and sayo device

It turns out that KOM POM had the worst stability
Flux > Ti HE > KOM POM

With the sayo device
Flux stabilized at 0.02mm,
Ti HE stabilized at 0.04mm,
KOM POM surprisingly stabilized at 0.07mm

KOM POM couldn’t even maintain stability at 0.04mm with venom

[tropic urchin]

Can a man have some peace while his dreams get smashed 🥀

[calm pulsar]

so just holy80 for $500

[trail bane]

Tru🌹

[tropic urchin]

I see fluxies, I give 1x rose

[tropic urchin]

Meybe

[ionic breach]

oh wait the rose thing is from tiktok

[tropic urchin]

Since Sno won’t ask Geon for me, I need someone that knows Korean to bombard his streams asking for fluxies calibration 🫦

[ionic breach]

im getting old, i just figured that out

[sacred elm]

That doesnt make any sense

[tropic urchin]

There’s a lot riding on this

[sacred elm]

Flux has magnet issues, owlabs isnt box stem

[tropic urchin]

Nice

[sacred elm]

how did pom lose

[glacial wind]

something 100% not right with that test

[ruby hill]

ive no idea

[calm pulsar]

geon knows english somewhat lol

[glacial wind]

are you testing at bottom out?

[ionic breach]

geon understands a bit of english,

in fact he replies to english comments more lmao

[sacred elm]

woot poms or regular poms

[cyan lark]

Yeah I'm not sure how Ti could beat KoM. I have them seated next to each other right now and I can see the stability difference in KoM's favor.

[ruby hill]

I tried 4 KOM Pom in different position

[ruby hill]

Regular

[glacial wind]

even if you somehow got flux ahead of kom pom there's not a chance the ti out perform it at bottom out

were you measuring at top or bottom out?

[sacred elm]

Yeah

[ruby hill]

Bottom

[tropic urchin]

Mmm

[glacial wind]

i suspect your tester might have an issue because the kom pom at least has confirmed tester samples from dozen+ testers

[tropic urchin]

Maybe he will answer a prospective customer

“Sorry we don’t want to invest the time to making fluxes work since it’s not commercially viable to implement”

And I’ll crash out

[ruby hill]

You can try at the venom 0.04mm
It does accidental release due to shaking, but not happen with flux and Ti

[glacial wind]

wait you're using that as the test? no wonder

venom isn't measuring flux

that's just how well calibrated the switch is on that pcb

[tough vale]

Hi, I built the 60HE module with stock everything and geon raws. I noticed my space at was a bit slow/sluggish/sticky. I was suggested to get rid of some lube on the stab

It didn’t really help

[glacial wind]

a top tier switch that isn't as well calibrated for that pcb won't necessarily out perform a worse switch on the same pcb due to it depending on how well the calibration is set for that specific switch parameters

it's why for example the gt60 semi purposely performs awful on any non gateron switch

[tough vale]

Now I’m not sure if I got rid of too much lube and now the key is clicky

[ruby hill]

I did calibrated every switch swap

[glacial wind]

no i mean as in the pcb itself doesn't calibrate well for that switch even if you manually calibrate

it's why ttc pom kom isn't listed as an option yet

when people are testing flux testing they are measuring the actual magnetic flux changes, not 'if i put it into this board what setting works'

[sacred elm]

Have you tested whole board with fluxes, some keys wont work because of stronger magnet

On venom*

They work fine on woot

[glacial wind]

yeah there's a lot of factors at play in whether a switch works well or not in a particular pcb, so you don't want to use 'it works at x setting' as the measure of which switch is better generally

[trail bane]

Hmmmm, So technically, if anyone can participate in the sweepstake for free, and technically someone wins and just sells someone else the opportunity to order the case?

[sacred elm]

Its still weird that 0.04 isnt stable tho, that makes me think that venom calibration is dogshit

[ruby hill]

Maybe
And I also tested at the sayo device
Flux
Actuation 0.01, 0.02
Rt 0.02, 0.01

Ti He
Actuation 0.03, 0.04
Rt 0.04,0.03

KOM POM
Actuation 0.07,0.07
Rt 0.07

[glacial wind]

yeah but i don't think you're getting the point KK

[trail bane]

Will this be prevented?

[glacial wind]

testing a switch isn't about putting it in a board and seeing if it works. That's just up to the individual sensor, how it's tuned for x magnetism etc

If you really want to do some discovery you'll need an actual flux measurement

which is why some people use the cheapo mans method of the flux measurement in the HM boards

otherwise the alternative is very expensive equipment

[ruby hill]

Ti he works fine
Raw he around 0.06

[sweet oak]

Mango HE when

[glacial wind]

that there should tell you the test itself isn't working the way you're hoping

if the raw he are literally performing better than kom pom

[sacred elm]

lol yeah that makes no sense, odd

[tropic urchin]

Squish church

[glacial wind]

it means the boards you're using and testing with it are not able to handle that particular switch well due to either magnetism range or sensor or calibration

[sweet oak]

Gummy squish? Or bug squish

[tropic urchin]

Gummy mango squish

[ruby hill]

Ya, weird

[sweet oak]

Hmmmmm

[glacial wind]

nothing you can do with that really, although they would more so sell it after it ships and not before

[tropic urchin]

You know those lil edible root beer gummies

Kinda like that but with mango

[sweet oak]

Ill think it over

[glacial wind]

when people test in keyboards they're usually using something like this:

[ruby hill]

At least the test shows Venom guy don’t go for the KOM POM

[stray tiger]

Sorry trying to keep up but Best Buy has some OEM 5090's about to drop so I can't focus

[untold wigeon]

really?

weird

[sacred elm]

Yes, some people reported it. Fluxes dont work properly on venom

[untold wigeon]

i never knew benom has problems like that

[trail bane]

Like an allegory with people who line up for the newest iPhone or something similar on launch day, and then sell their spot because they don’t actually intend to buy it.

[sacred elm]

Its not venom issue

Switches are defective

[untold wigeon]

ahhh

flux issues

[glacial wind]

it happens all the time, unfortunate just nothing can be done really since after it's shipped that's out of the companies hands

sometimes if you catch it you can later ban the person doing it from doing it again, but that's hard to track if they're smart and not posting about it everywhere

[ruby hill]

I didn’t test the flux with venom, let test it now

[tropic urchin]

The test I’ve been waiting for

[glacial wind]

like the guy who got banned from the aus keyboard community and vendors for doing it was dumb enough to try resell his raffle spot literally the minute he got the email, so was easy to track down who did it and ban him

[sacred elm]

Yes, on the other hand wooting has gigachad autocal and I havent noticed any issues yet

[untold wigeon]

that's one of the problems that they said want to fix but can't achieve what they need rn

[sacred elm]

[ruby hill]

Works fine, 0.04mm

[sacred elm]

Test multiple switches, not just one

Not all of them have strong magnet

[ruby hill]

KOM POM tested 4 already

[untold wigeon]

the main thing why pro is still using wooting is the stability of the board

venom is not stable

[untold wigeon]

(yet)

[untold wigeon]

true

even i set to 0.1mm with 0.12mm dz and still double click

for movement and such

[calm pulsar]

im on 0.2 mm, zero deadzone and don't have any issues like that

[glacial wind]

it depends on what you're using and what switches as well

venom works very well with raws for example

[sacred elm]

I think that is skill issue on your end, sorry

[untold wigeon]

nah man, how is it my skill issue

[sacred elm]

[chilly mural]

venom feels nice with ti he with raw switches setting

[calm pulsar]

right now playing hollow knight on my dualsense

[untold wigeon]

yep, i was using ice max when that happens

while my 60he (wooting) doesn’t have any problems

unless that 1 time where the switch was a defect

[timid temple]

Do we know when there will be more info regarding the picture posted by wooting on twitter?

[languid kestrel]

so then they just use another email to register for the next raffle though

[untold wigeon]

i was confused how it’s not registering and scared that the sensor is dead

[sacred elm]

Yes, they will announce it at computex or before it

[untold wigeon]

when i opened up the switch, the magnets wasn’t there

[timid temple]

Oh and so today its just the owlab case ?

[untold wigeon]

yep

[sacred elm]

Yes

[glacial wind]

iirc they caught him before his even shipped because he was extreme stupid, so he got his entire order cancelled and rerolled

[timid temple]

When is computex ?

[ruby hill]

But raw he not stable at 0.04
Stabilized at 0.06 same as KOM POM with venom

[sacred elm]

20 May

[untold wigeon]

20th

[sacred elm]

But they might announce it before that, we dont know yet

[glacial wind]

that's actually very good for raw he

it was released with much older cheaper magnet tolerances, not the best wobble stability and in era before sub 0.1 was on venom

[sacred elm]

Raws are optimized on venom and POMs arent

[glacial wind]

yeah and like shf said that's while they're optimized a lot better and kom pom isn't even on the switch list yet

but just raw being able to go that low is already very good performance for an older, cheap magnet

[sacred elm]

If poms were optimized, you could go as low as 0.01

[calm pulsar]

0.01💀

[untold wigeon]

just imagine,

0.01

[sacred elm]

Not sure how would you used it tho

[untold wigeon]

thinner than a hair

[sacred elm]

[untold wigeon]

wow

nah man

those numbers

won’t work with me anymore

[snow yarrow]

How do you test this, specific routine a game? Might f around and test this in lateron pcb (prob not tho, too lazy )

[sacred elm]

Lower number better ☝️ 🤓

[calm pulsar]

I use poms on venom and I just selected raws, havent had any issues apart from skill ones

[untold wigeon]

i will just cop a wooting because i made a promise to promote it without any payment and use it until there’s a new keeb (obviously from wooting)

[sacred elm]

You still have it? Im checking their #Help channel sometimes and its pure comedy

[glacial wind]

i assume arcwyn is using sane settings where calibration matters a bit less too

[ruby hill]

Bottom shaking

[glacial wind]

because if you're using more normal settings probably any decent switch works (outside of weird stuff like the flux issues on the wuque switches)

[untold wigeon]

yep, only need optimization and such which u won’t really notice irl

unless double clicks then use higher deadzone

[glacial wind]

he basically tested it just by setting it as low as he could go on certain boards, which is why we're explaining that this method doesn't work for testing the actual switch itself

[untold wigeon]

[glacial wind]

it becomes more a test of how well optimized the firmware on a particular board is for x switch

[snow yarrow]

Ye, as long as you dont remap keys, change polling rate or need to change any other setting thats not actuation or rt

It seems fine i guess?

[ruby hill]

The flux sounds so good but the price

[untold wigeon]

ngl what i hate about my benom it’s because there is no polling rate changer

and guess what they said about it…

[sacred elm]

Flux gud (except magnets and a price)

[snow yarrow]

Dw, lateron is super buggy on anything other than 8k, so they dont have that option either

[calm pulsar]

the only thing that bothers me is not being able to hold tab in games, because my tab is mod tapped as Fn

but that's just how I use it, can't fix this

[untold wigeon]

thank God, i sold the benom HE

and went back to 60he while waiting for my 80he arrive

[calm pulsar]

otherwise seemed fine in most games

[untold wigeon]

still rocking 60he (without +)

[sacred elm]

Nothing wrong with that

[untold wigeon]

yepp, the problem is that i bought it and next week or two they announced the + that supports screw in stabs

[glacial wind]

means you're ready for the '60he pro non tmr for sure model' when it's announced

[untold wigeon]

nah, just gonna rock with 80he for now

need f row

[calm pulsar]

non tmr

[untold wigeon]

for code and such

[sacred elm]

I dont know about Kessie, but I am so ready

[untold wigeon]

but i might purchase the module

[snow yarrow]

You guys dont get me man, i need that waterproof coating on my pcb

What if mans wants to visit the beach with his keyboard?? Looting could never smh my head

[chilly mural]

im soo ready to not being able to afford new 60he

[calm pulsar]

will you go for non tmr or wait a bit for tmr version

[glacial wind]

they've been giving them out like candy drak

join as many discords as you can

[untold wigeon]

what’s up homie

[ionic breach]

90 flux switches

goddamn

[glacial wind]

they literally gave like 3 entire sets out to the tiny pericord discord that's mostly dead

keyboard + switches

[sacred elm]

I dont care about tmr, I dont even know hows it better than he

[chilly mural]

just no moneh and not working

[glacial wind]

whoever is running the chillkey marketing seems to have decided 50 million giveaways will be the way to market

[untold wigeon]

don’t worry

sell ur tiger lite

[calm pulsar]

I assume sno was joking but it's just supposed to eat less power, which is whatver on a keyboard

[untold wigeon]

and 80he

[sacred elm]

shocking

[untold wigeon]

wait does the 80he pcb gets warm?

[glacial wind]

like drakon why do you like to shit stir

leave the guy alone lol

[chilly mural]

fuck no, I like my f row

[sacred elm]

lmao drakon with his pings

[untold wigeon]

sell 80he then

[chilly mural]

Also wanna upgrade my rhythm game controller with sweet sanwa button and fresh set of Omron

[untold wigeon]

if anyone have tested it

[ionic breach]

welp ghost ping it is

[ruby hill]

If the venom launch a 88/87he rgb will be perfect with the transparent tiger lite

[chilly mural]

I don't need rgb

[untold wigeon]

for a 0.4ms?

hell nah

i need the 0.4ms less latency

idc about rgb if it’s reducing it’s performance

[polar girder]

Same

[untold wigeon]

(literally boardzy fanboy)

[snow yarrow]

Ye, but it would be interesting to test if laterons "ai switch optimization" makes a difference, i got 4 rubies and jade gamings to test this, but havent had the time yet

Id rather speculate on discord if 60he pro is a myth or nah

[untold wigeon]

isn’t “AI switch calibration” available at brand new dd keebs?

[glacial wind]

it's real, we just don't know how close or real it is

[polar girder]

You guys having Venom skill issues, is that what I’m hearing?

[glacial wind]

nah that's their random rt match function which performs awfully in accuracy tests

[polar girder]

someone trying to decrease polling rate for keyboard? LOL

[snow yarrow]

We need some professional youtuber to test this, maybe migss would be up for the task?

[glacial wind]

but that shouldn't be surprising considering all their software performs awfully lol

[untold wigeon]

ye

[glacial wind]

pls no lol

[calm pulsar]

didnt you want less latency lol

[honest nacelle]

whaddaheck

[polar girder]

lol why

[sacred elm]

new screenshot dropped

[untold wigeon]

that’s the real thing

please don’t bully me with unfinished fact

[calm pulsar]

lol I just assumed you was serious about being a boardzy fanboy

[untold wigeon]

NOOOO

HELL NAH

i prefer to trade him for hausgaming to be back

[sacred elm]

Its too late now

[untold wigeon]

[untold wigeon]

ngl i miss hausgaming so much

his voice is so nice to hear

[pearl lynx]

Anyone have any cool clean keycap suggestions for my 60he?

[untold wigeon]

blank keycaps

to show off typing skills

[pearl lynx]

I’m too braindead to find some keys

[untold wigeon]

but it’s clean

[little glen]

Keycaps are entirely preference

[untold wigeon]

true

[little glen]

And also highly depends on how much you are willing to spend

[untold wigeon]

just pick it the way u find a gf,
love at first sight

[little glen]

Nah i wouldnt really say that, its more like a waifu

Cause you keep collecting more and more

[pearl lynx]

…

That’s crazy

[ionic breach]

a colour or a theme u looking for?

[untold wigeon]

even $20 keycaps (not clone & cheap because it’s a local brand, please don’t judge) can be good

[ionic breach]

and a budget

[foggy scroll]

This is a custom keyboard chat
Nobody has girlfriends 😔

[pearl lynx]

Not 1 color

[little glen]

Nah, but if you want actual advice, what is your budget?

[untold wigeon]

ah forgot about that ngl

[pearl lynx]

Around €50

[little glen]

[untold wigeon]

pbtfans would be nice

[little glen]

50 euro is uh

[untold wigeon]

at clearance

[sacred elm]

wuque keycaps when theres sale

[untold wigeon]

ahh i have 1

[untold wigeon]

u don’t want 1 color right?

[pearl lynx]

Yep

[ionic breach]

https://keyreative.store/

[untold wigeon]

do u want unique fonts and such?

buy a fbb

[ionic breach]

it might be slightly over

[little glen]

I mean i got some gmk for around that price from daily clack when they had an event going on and exchange rates were good (ignore shipping cost and min order value of 250 aud)

[glacial wind]

the wuque base keycaps are honestly i think the best non aliexpress clone keycaps you can buy for basic pbt stuff when on sale

[untold wigeon]

not a clone iirc

[glacial wind]

they're what like under $50 when on sale, doubleshot pbt with good printing quality

[sacred elm]

i have their bow set, its nice

[little glen]

Check out this site https://oblotzky.industries and your budget will go out the window

[ionic breach]

oh yea fbb

nah its not

quite a nice budget option

[untold wigeon]

https://mechkeys.com/collections/fbb

@pearl lynx more selection here

[untold wigeon]

yep, purchased a t52 black

looks clean imo

[pearl lynx]

So many links

[ionic breach]

just search fbb followed by your region

to get smallest shipping

[untold wigeon]

they’re nice imo

but they’re dyesub

some people don’t like dyesub and prefer doubleshot

[glacial wind]

honestly dye sub hate is overrated. Some dyesub is quite nice

[pearl lynx]

I like some of those

[glacial wind]

long as it's not cheapie awfully done dye sub

[pearl lynx]

€60 euros tho

[untold wigeon]

another 10-20 euros are worth it imo

but back to you

[glacial wind]

like the Osume sets are all dyesub but they're great honestly

[untold wigeon]

do you want to spend more for something cool designs?

[pearl lynx]

Depends how cool

[untold wigeon]

and i like dyesub now

[snow yarrow]

They actually released an update today, that removed the polling rate function, you cant make this shit up @sacred elm

[ionic breach]

you probably can find a better priced fbb set u like more for cheaper

they have a lot

[untold wigeon]

benom?

[old kayak]

Are there key caps that don’t get as smudged? I don’t wanna have to clean mine that often

[snow yarrow]

Lateron

[untold wigeon]

HAHAHHAHAHAH

[pearl lynx]

From where?

[ionic breach]

anywhere

its a producer

[untold wigeon]

local vendor

[ionic breach]

there are retailers in many regions

[pearl lynx]

fbb?

[ionic breach]

just google fbb then ur region

ye

[untold wigeon]

iirc there's a lot of retailers from fbb

[sacred elm]

I think they hired literal noob devs, but its alright

[pearl lynx]

Everything i search about keycaps it shows me ugly ass aliexpress or temu caps😭

[little glen]

cheap keycaps be like that

[pearl lynx]

I found a set I like a bit

[untold wigeon]

not only noob devs

[pearl lynx]

Fbb ramen

[untold wigeon]

noob company can't even make a new f switch

[untold wigeon]

buy it

[pearl lynx]

€60

[ionic breach]

dafuq?

[untold wigeon]

extra €10 won't hurt ur wallet if u want a good set

[little glen]

there is one set i kinda want to get that isnt gmk

[ionic breach]

find another retailer

[little glen]

its the yakult themed keycap set

[ionic breach]

unless u mean 60 with shipping

[untold wigeon]

most likely ye

[pearl lynx]

Soulcat indigo blue also cool

[snow yarrow]

Spoken like a true luminary 🌹

[pearl lynx]

50.99

[sacred elm]

They better make box stem switches

[pearl lynx]

FBB NINJA Cherry Profile PBT

That one hella clean

[glacial wind]

fbb is one of the greats for cheap but decent quality dye sub honestly

[ionic breach]

fbb and kap is my 2 favourite now lmao

[pearl lynx]

Why are they all so expensive can’t I just get good ones for 20-30?

[glacial wind]

fbb and tutkeys are 2 of my favourites if I just want cheapie keycaps that aren't going to be too thin or warped

[ionic breach]

same retailer?

might be a markup

[ruby hill]

Regular dyesub is fine
but not reverse dyesub
It couldn’t avoid the edge fading

[fallen pecan]

the fbb ones cost around 200 yuan, gonna be markups or dropshippers

[pearl lynx]

Idk where to see the retailer

[ionic breach]

the website name

is the retailer

[trail bane]

On ali you can find some fine shi, but its too hard

[pearl lynx]

Mechkeys

[snow yarrow]

Since im not getting any free switches, i hope they release with lekker v1 stems and maximum self-lubrication

[ionic breach]

yea it is

should be cheaper

[pearl lynx]

All 50-60 euros

Or more

[ionic breach]

try another website

[fallen pecan]

europe got tariffs too?

[sacred elm]

If its not box stem, I hope they release what sno voted for

ugly blue switch without lube

[snow yarrow]

Also, "self-lubricating" sounds so wrong to my innocent ears

[pearl lynx]

Do I just search fbb keycaps?

[ruby hill]

Flux x Wooting

[untold wigeon]

ye

[glacial wind]

Imagine shafie gets free switches but it’s the ugly blue ones with mx stem and no lube

[untold wigeon]

imagine

just imagine

frog x wooting 80he

how lovely that will be

[ruby hill]

Better be leggera not regular frog, much cheaper

[untold wigeon]

HAHAHA

[sacred elm]

I dont need to imagine because I will be able to put my brand new 60HE Pro in Frog mini leggera

[chilly mural]

could be nice, Geon can sell woot or venom 60 pcb along with it

[untold wigeon]

bro is milking money

[pearl lynx]

The cheap fbb FBB NINJA set I can find is 60

Is kbdfans trustworthy?

[sacred elm]

yes

[untold wigeon]

i found

a pro

who uses benom

finally

[ionic breach]

yea u could buy from them and just eat the delivery cost ig

cos eu prices are nuts

[ruby hill]

The price of the Kbdfans keycap almost catchup gmk

[trail bane]

Hmmm

[untold wigeon]

leggera bag better

$69 btw

[calm pulsar]

for 69 lmao

[tulip rapids]

the 80he travel case is still better

[ionic breach]

most custom cases have thos

[untold wigeon]

see the price brotha

[tulip rapids]

but i prefer the black and red over the wooting black and yellow one

[ruby hill]

My QK case seems better

[trail bane]

No bag👐

[tulip rapids]

i have not untill now

https://tenor.com/view/dead-my-honest-reaction-damn-skull-skeleton-gif-15885937969029652188

case + sleeve/microfiber cloth

is usually there for all custom cases

[ruby hill]

Any news about the Frog leggera TKL?

[tulip rapids]

you got a pic of it?

[ruby hill]

Just a regular dark case

[tulip rapids]

[lyric nimbus]

hm

i need to choose keycaps

[stray tiger]

Yeah Im imagining all of the errors I'd get and how pissed I'd be

[empty sinew]

is it just me or anybody else doesn't like those red side holders sticking out of the case?

I'll prolly pick biege because of it

[ionic breach]

it is removable

[empty sinew]

oh its removable? thats great

[ionic breach]

from what i can see

[tulip rapids]

you talking about the travel case or the kb case

[empty sinew]

the OW60 keyboard case

[ionic breach]

holup dont trust me for a 500 bucks purchase

[empty sinew]

if its not removable I am blaming u

🙂

[ionic breach]

[tulip rapids]

you talking about this?

[empty sinew]

yes

its totally out of place if you ask me aesthetically

[tulip rapids]

thats for the wooting strap

[empty sinew]

I didn't ask whats for

I don't like the looks of it

[tulip rapids]

nvm i lie

[chilly mural]

it looks fine to me

[empty sinew]

i doesn't look removable.. its too sticking out in red color

I would prefer a clean look without those additional things sticking out

[ionic breach]

i feel like it is looking at this

[glacial wind]

The pom church welcomes a new member.

[ionic breach]

but best to check with wooting or someone who alr got one

[tropic urchin]

Only pretty nice?

[glacial wind]

Those are deep words from the esports goat

[empty sinew]

biege looks ok because the piece is in same color

[glacial wind]

A pretty nice from faker is all the pom church requires

[empty sinew]

this looks better to me tbh then the black

[ionic breach]

if this 2 black things are philips screws that it probably is

it looks like it but im not sure

[empty sinew]

where did you find the pic with it removed?

also it might leave a hole when you remove it which is not ideal

not sure why they had to add this piece

[ionic breach]

wooting

[empty sinew]

the case without it would look clean af and really nice

[ionic breach]

cos this case mimicks the original case

with the sloped front and all

[gusty patio]

I wish the vid of unboxing was with the beige one but yea I don't see myself buying this, I don't really understand why an alu case has to cost 420eur

[tulip rapids]

it will but with the module inside you probably wont notice it tbh

[empty sinew]

yeah the price is bit hard

[tulip rapids]

it is expensive

[empty sinew]

I want to have this case with wooting build

like this guy

frog mini + custom plate

but its hard to make a plate

[gusty patio]

I have a blue/navy keycap set to work with and I don't think either is gonna look great with these colors

[tropic urchin]

😳

White rose gold look really comes together

[stray tiger]

Its removeable

[empty sinew]

Still like my tofu60 redux acrylic with brass weight

[gusty patio]

For 420 they cpuld atleast add a pcb 😔

[night atlas]

fellow tofu acrylic enjoyer 🔥

[stray tiger]

Owlab doesnt provide a PCB though

[tawdry tree]

that’s maxgaming’s 😭😭

[gusty patio]

It's wooting doing the sale right

[stray tiger]

Wooting could def add a PCB but would need to add the PCB cost to the price that Owlab set for the case

[empty sinew]

the case is pricey as hell but I seen it weights quite a lot and seems to have a pretty good sound profile

[chilly mural]

if they do include pcb, it would be left right and center.

[empty sinew]

but for the price you can snag some of the really good custom cases around

[chilly mural]

I guess you're just not used to how much a keyboard case can cost at high-end

[empty sinew]

I am trust me

[chilly mural]

not you, Yari (sorry)

[empty sinew]

oh

[stray tiger]

Very true. The Owlab case is for the discerning buyer/collector who wants this specific case

[empty sinew]

like atm Fjell is on a discount - https://mekanisk.com/products/fjell-keyboard-case-only

not sure how the owlab is better tbh

[stray tiger]

Thats not even close to an apples to apples comparison.

[empty sinew]

i mean its not an apples to apples comparison

[stray tiger]

The Owlabs isnt better, it's different

[empty sinew]

but the fjell case is iconinc and really nice

[chilly mural]

it has a gasket ish structure and a bold design, that one is better compared against optimum case

[tropic urchin]

Sponsored by the POM flux cochurch

[gusty patio]

Is there video of the beige one

[stray tiger]

It's also not gasket mount and has a very steep typing angle. Its uncomfortable to type on for me

[glacial wind]

People pay more for designs and cases they like more. That’s basically all the analysis - it’s not going to be a 1:1 comparison of things

[empty sinew]

Yeah its bit uncomfortable, but I merely shown it because of the price range, the case is quality and very heavy

good sound profile

and 200$

[chilly mural]

also wanna see the faux gasket on a plastic case one day

[glacial wind]

Sometimes folks in hobby like certain pretty things and will pay more for it

[chilly mural]

might be good if I wanna do a venom 60 build

[empty sinew]

also salvation icost less then owlab

[stray tiger]

Ive owned and sold 6-7 of the Mekanisk cases so I have a really good idea on the pros and cons. Ive only ever owned a single owlab product and that was years ago

[empty sinew]

nice, I kindof wanted to try salvation with wooting build

its also in stock at the moment at wilba

[stray tiger]

Ive had 3 of those as well and ended up selling them also

[empty sinew]

what you didn't like about them?

[stray tiger]

Just wasnt a fan of the sound honestly.

Thats a very personal decision though. You might love it.

[empty sinew]

just out of curiosity whats your favorite case for the wooting? sound profile\aesthetic wise

[stray tiger]

For wooting? Hmm Ive really enjoyed the Frog Mini (non-Leggera) versions

[empty sinew]

Yeh thats my dream 🙂

I don't know where to get it though and the plate

[stray tiger]

Plates can be had at a number of places although I prefer to buy from Tom over at HypeKeyboards

[glacial wind]

Some twisted people enjoy the holy60, we try not to judge them for their taste despite the clear incorrect choice because we embrace even those who enjoy holes in their keyboard

[empty sinew]

oh I'll check hypekeb site, nice maybe I can find a frogmini somewhere

[glacial wind]

Actually I can’t remember who here liked it, maybe it was drakon that liked the holy design

[stray tiger]

I never tried one. It does "look" cool, but when Alexotos built one on stream it was horrendous sounding.

@glacial wind since its past your bedtime and you're in a sleep deprived state. This is your reminder to start looking for flights to UT for some powder time this winter.

[empty sinew]

hmm MarbleFather which material suggestion?:P

[glacial wind]

That is true, I do need to go Utah one day

[stray tiger]

Ive got a furnished full walkout basement with gym that you can stay in. Sleeps 4-6 if you bring fam. You just have to get the flights

[stray tiger]

Up to you depending on the sound you're after and what switches you're using. You gotta get a case first though!

[glacial wind]

That’d be amazing. I will add that to my list of things I need to do one season

[little glen]

are you going to judge them for what they put in the holes tho, that is the most important question

[glacial wind]

Some forgiveness is given if they own the correct Sony lenses

[little glen]

shafie will be happy to hear that

martin luther will however turn in his grave

[stray tiger]

I havent worked out in almost 2yrs and have furniture and workout equipment being delivered today. I'm going to be sore just moving shit around.

[tawdry tree]

💀

[glacial wind]

ah home gym the impossible dream for city livers

[stray tiger]

We actually have a gym in the neighborhood clubhouse but all the moms are there during the school day and then the kids when school gets out. After 5pm forget about it.

It's tolerable when the pool is open, then the kids swim instead

[glacial wind]

yeah that’s problem with public gyms, you end up having to play around other people

I used to workout at weird hours just to avoid that

[little glen]

i should start working out again

[stray tiger]

My goal is to start next week. We shall see how it goes. Been a long recovery from shoulder surgery

[tropic urchin]

The worst is when ppl take the lower back raise stand from me during back day 😭🥀

[stray tiger]

The worst are the moms who sit in a machine and then scroll IG for 15min between sets

[tropic urchin]

Not even just the moms that do it, girls in my age range do it too if not more 🤣

[glacial wind]

Ah that’s the favourite of Korean moms and dads

[chilly mural]

gotta hit that minimum dopamine requirements

[tropic urchin]

I’ll just shitpost in between sets instead

[glacial wind]

They also love the walk very slowly for 2 hours on treadmill, but that doesn’t bother me since there’s enough treadmills

[tropic urchin]

And tell mr arc hes wrong about his keyboard preferences

[glacial wind]

Actually no all Koreans love that. There’s flocks of 20 year old girls who love walking slowly on treadmills

[chilly mural]

I like walking

I understand them

[tropic urchin]

Takmisser is a sleeper cell confirmed

[chilly mural]

I wanna buy treadmills because walking while feeling the airconditioning could be nice

[glacial wind]

Do stairmaster instead, get the buns of steel

those stair machines are actually no joke. They have warnings on them to not use the max settings because people get jelly legs super fast on them

[tropic urchin]

I should do the stair master and take it from the other girls to assert dominance

Already have buns of steel so might as well make them diamonds

Or atleast that’s what COD taught me

[cyan lark]

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, they say

[chilly mural]

noo, I dont like going up

[glacial wind]

Never get buns of steel with that attitude

You get dough of grass instead

[chilly mural]

actually, if I have that money I would actually just buy a ddr setup. I live ground floor in an apartment so like anything goes

[tawdry tree]

@tidal frigate in the new vid at 6:11, you can see a black screen for a split second. does this means the woot 60TMR will come in black? https://youtu.be/koftzvc8_qA?t=371

[tropic urchin]

LMAO

[gusty patio]

is that owlab a limited run or

[tropic urchin]

unironically Grom Hellscream post sip in the Warcraft 3 campaign 🤣🤣

[tawdry tree]

1000 in total for sure and maybe more batches later on

so unknown.

[gusty patio]

ah okay

[glacial wind]

They’ve never said the initial, but usually you’re roughly safe to assume they’re at least in similar realm of other 40-50 bottom out switches

[tropic urchin]

Some more info on them from Sno’s modding project

[night atlas]

i got the astrolinks

didn't like em personally because there was some friction that made the switches feel a bit heavier than they are, could be for some people though

[tall hollow]

Stuff arrives!

[thorn zealot]

is thir rly just tray mount

or am i missin some

[fluid ravine]

Yes

[thorn zealot]

🥀

[fluid ravine]

It's just a really high quality tray mount case

[thorn zealot]

i loveee tray mount

[harsh dove]

I would gummy mount the Fjell personally

[tropic urchin]

Now if the 60HE pro has a gummy mount

[harsh dove]

Maybe

[thorn zealot]

watch 60he pro only have "better" specs and more layout options

no db

[tropic urchin]

It’s a tuff life with these new keebs and fluxies. One time I put aside my pride to try benom since they got new RGB PCB they have issues 🥀

[tropic urchin]

I’ll then have to settle for 60HE pro with gummy mount leggera case 🌹

How do you like your copper case Mr cam

[harsh dove]

Hate it, sucks

[thorn zealot]

can i have it then

[stray tiger]

Why stop at just better layout options, better specs, and db? Why not add in bottom and top RGB, copper bottom case, 6 plate material options, and a collab with GMK for keycaps?

[thorn zealot]

ur right

that copper case also needs 4+ mounting options

[tropic urchin]

Does it fit the marbly clack profile (was thinking of pesante case whenever it goes for sale if I get 60% keeb)

[stray tiger]

Exactly! And support for stepped capslock

[thorn zealot]

and the frame needs to be swappable with wkl and hhkb layouts

[stray tiger]

I think Wooting should add everything that 95% of the people who buy their board don't care about just so this channel can be happy. We should file a change.org petition

[tropic urchin]

If only petitions meant something

[thorn zealot]

wooting should make a kb just for joshiba so he can stop complaining abt them

cuz obv his preferences are on top

ours are wack

[tropic urchin]

I don’t think he has enough dolla bills rn

With tariffs

[stray tiger]

I'm going to make a list of every currently available HE keyboard that includes 8K and multiple layout choices with a daughterboard. Can anyone help me?

[thorn zealot]

venom 60 he, ...

let me cook

ight i give up

[stray tiger]

I rest my case 😁

[tropic urchin]

Can’t forget your duhfuk switches

[harsh dove]

I don't think it's marbly but someone might idk

[stray tiger]

Cam I've figured out why you have the red light on all the time. Red light therapy amirite?

[harsh dove]

Yep

Lol

Good for the eyes

[thorn zealot]

duhfuk

appel maps

[tropic urchin]

I did like how your fluxies sounded on the benom leggera

Even if it was PP plate, maybe had me thinking of different options mm

Maybe pesante wouldn’t be marbly clack end game

[harsh dove]

I usually have this red backlight on and it’s red glow makes its way into my photos lol

I can change it to whatever color tho

[thorn zealot]

Can’t u use venom in it

[harsh dove]

If I get a plate made

[thorn zealot]

Thought u can use he in mx plate

That’s what arc did in his lx60

[crimson sky]

you really do want extra holes to connect the plate to the PCB

[harsh dove]

Yeah it’s not screwed in with an mx plate

So the plate can separate and cause actuation issues

I’ve done that with the frog mini mx plate before

And it ends up separating over time

[thorn zealot]

Oh yeah forgot he needs plate standoffs

[harsh dove]

Especially if you type hard

[crimson sky]

you theoretically can glue the switches to the PCB

[thorn zealot]

🥀

[stray tiger]

You can use switches with clip legs too

[harsh dove]

Yeah, aren't the current available options hard to remove tho or was that just the first iteration?

[stray tiger]

I havent tried the latest ones so not sure but I think they are at milktooth

[harsh dove]

Ah okay

Thought I remembered someone saying they were tough to remove from the PCB

[stray tiger]

https://milktooth.com/products/sticky-rice

I dont see how they would be tough if you have the PCB out. Just push the legs together

[harsh dove]

Yeah, could've been a skill issue idk

Haven't tried them myself

[fluid ravine]

finally home

[harsh dove]

Get out

[stray tiger]

The plate files are already out though so just send it to Tom and ask him to overlay the venom standoffs on it https://wiredinstore.com/pages/resources

[tawdry tree]

borderline impossible lmao

plateless it’s doable

[harsh dove]

You're saying they're hard to remove with a plate installed?

[tawdry tree]

then you can do this, though pushing the legs together is easier said than done

[tawdry tree]

yes, almost impossible to remove

[harsh dove]

Ah okay

[tawdry tree]

pulling them just separates the top housing from the bottom housing

ripping em in half 😂

[stray tiger]

Oh you mean from the plate not from the PCB

[harsh dove]

Wait if the feet are clipped into the PCB, how hard is it to remove the plate?

[tawdry tree]

in general

they’re the hardest switches to remove by far of any I’ve ever tried

[stray tiger]

I keep some taped up needle nose pliers in my drawer for annoying legs like that

[tawdry tree]

not crazy difficult if it’s just one. if it’s all of them, good luck

[stray tiger]

But you can buy new switches Cam or use existing switches and buy a new plate. That sounds like a better option

[harsh dove]

RIght yeah I'm thinking if it's a full build and you try to remove the plaate, good luck

[tawdry tree]

yeah

they’re pretty good to just keep a plate in place tho

one on each side is enough

[stray tiger]

If you DO order something from Tom, LMK and I'll add a plate to the order as well

[tawdry tree]

like on capslock and | for example

[harsh dove]

Alright, if I do I'll let you know

The Ventagonist

[sweet oak]

can i eat your setup

[harsh dove]

Sure

lowkey idk if I want a venom in this Protagonist, this shit is so heavy lmao

Cause when I'm gaming, I adjust my keeb a lot and have it slanted

so the Leggera is nice for that cause it's lightweight

I try adjusting this Protagonist and I feel like I'm at the Gym

[near barn]

hey does anybody happen to have a coiled cable from wooting and have issues with being loosely connected?

also, anyone able to find the matthew silent switches anywhere? i checked out that new post in moddingfaq and was looking for the silent switches, but couldn't find a site selling(removed from aliexpress. in the US)

[tropic urchin]

https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-Swappable-Trigger-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B0DWXNQ65W?th=1 I think these might be it? I dont see any metal legs on these so I think these are the HE ones

[polar girder]

https://www.deskhero.ca/products/gmk-cosmos-keycaps-pre-order-copy

Couple last cosmos sets available

[tropic urchin]

also has a review putting them into 60HE so I think you should be good with these @near barn

[tropic urchin]

W blanks

[polar girder]

lol fr

[tropic urchin]

patiently awaiting GMK Selene news unfortunately

[marsh saffron]

Is thst the blue cosmos style set

[tropic urchin]

porple one

[marsh saffron]

Same difference

[tropic urchin]

they have some blue specs in em, but id say these are very dark grape purple from afar

no updates since Feb 18th is killing me

🥀

[cyan lark]

The first thing I see when I wake my machine up is this pic of Selene

And then that sad reminder of no news T_T

[tropic urchin]

Im glad I can provide a great disappointment to start the Friday afternoon

"surely there can be an update"

[cyan lark]

Glad you're checking

[tropic urchin]

crickets

[tropic urchin]

Will I buy a 60% board or GMK selene release

new meme

[cyan lark]

Were you considering a 60?

[tropic urchin]

the plan originally was seeing if my work would cover another 80HE, but seems like the answer to that is a no go, so I was going to bide my time to see what I'd wanna do. Was captivated by the news of the 60HE pro/Benom RGB

never tried a 60% after talking shit about the keeb for ants

[cyan lark]

Oh is that what people meant by benom RGB? 😆

[tropic urchin]

the funny story was, I told Arc that for me to consider venom PCB it would need RGB and lo and behold 3-4 hrs later they have a korean IC check for that very thing

i went to bed and woke up and its there

only thing keeping me from going that route for the time being is fluxies arent calibrated properly on benom which is a deal breaker for me currently

[cyan lark]

Wait so there is actually an RGB venom, or are people just calling wooting 60 pro venom RGB? I'm getting dizzy

[tropic urchin]

Geon released an IC for venom RGB PCB

in korean

60HE Pro is its own thing

[fringe quarry]

yep

[cyan lark]

Ah just the IC for now

[tropic urchin]

yeah

so either product wont be here for a while

I do wanna try a 60% tho

[cyan lark]

Yeah I dunno, everyone has their opinions on layouts/sizes. I can't really use a 60 for much other than gaming, but they are great looking

And the case compat is fun

[tropic urchin]

I wanted to use a 60% in Leggera case specifically

bc thats what sounded nicest for fluxies

so we shall see what happens

[cyan lark]

Haven't heard them in my baby the salv

Leggera did some to be enjoyed

[tropic urchin]

but that is so far the basis for my degenerate browsing

[tropic urchin]

real af

[tawdry tree]

why gmk doesn’t hurry that shit up is beyond me

[tropic urchin]

I figured we would atleast have something but the timing of this makes me feel like it could be on the chopping block
