Does anyone have the images for the switch inserting thing? Like what part faces up?

sacred elm

#

yes

And just so I don’t mess anything up, which part is the correct way up for this thing?

Is that the bottom or top

I’m pretty sure you need a wooting to use that tag frogson. Better tell your dad you need to enter the upcoming raffle and find a reshipper for $1k

I checked and there’s no Sony tag yet unfortunately

Just the first 60 people with the tag

how does one obtain such role

Quick question I placed my order at the start of May for the rooting 80HE white zinc

Is that the v2?

So tired of this blue color, wonder what color role will I get when I pre-order Wooting 60HE Pro. What do you all think about this

maybe raeds color

Too dark for default darkmode

fluid ravine

i was black for a moment smile

sacred elm
#

Actually true

fluid ravine
sacred elm
#

No black

chilly mural
#

at this point shf gonna back 60he pro because he just wants another color

glossy pagoda
glossy pagoda
#

A new founders campaign for a new keyboard would get slotted in the list below the 80HE campaign and therefore even if you backed it, you'd still be blue

fluid ravine
#

should add a kids role frfr

#

jk

#

no

sacred elm
#

No way

#

I dont want to be blue anymore

fluid ravine
#

be yellow

sacred elm

#

but if you back it with another account and deassociate your discord account from what you back 80he with, shouldn't it be possible to get the newer color?

They changed it

Hey I just tried to swap out my wooting 80 he switch with the puller in the pack and it was so hard I tried many diffrent techniques but the south side of the switch was stock I managed to do it with pulling hard and ended scratching on Y keycaps

#

What should have done? Is it because I used the wooting included in box puller or is there any other techniques that I missing

ionic breach
#

wiggle and pull

glacial wind
#

Wiggle up and down slowly is the strategy, but generally most would also advise a metal keycap puller helps too

glossy pagoda
#

Some switches can be really tight on the switch plate, disassembling that helps

glacial wind
#

Also I assume you removed the keycap first?

#

Otherwise I’m confused at the whole scratching part

glossy pagoda
#

Must have scratched an adjacent keycap

glacial wind
#

Ah that’s it I guess

raw crest
#

I did wiggle it but the south was stock i did this on my 3 switches k i and u and all of them had this problem also I pulled out the keycaps the scratch was because after pulling to hard my puller It was coming out of the clamps and hitting the keycaps next to it .

raw crest
ionic breach
#

if so u could just disassemble it and push it out from under

glacial wind
#

Certain pullers are also easier for pulling on tight switches

#

It’s why the Wuque puller is popular, it gets into the small spaces really well

raw crest
#

Tnx I just wanted to replace my switches because those 3 sound weird to me and I did it but I wanted to know Is this a common issue or I did it wrong cause In the instruction guide on wooting 80 he start guide it said it's to easy just gently peak it and wiggle it

#

And it wasn't easy at all i ended up losing my heart that if I dmage it💀

glacial wind
#

Lekkers in 80he are particularly tight due to some tolerance stuff with the plate being tighter

sacred elm
#

L ejin

glossy pagoda
raw crest
#

Another weird thing that I realise the actuation point was changed after replacing the switch and it's start showing 1.2mm key press when I'm not pressing any keys but after reset setting it got fixed but it was weird

sacred elm
raw crest
#

Is it bad?

sacred elm
#

Calibration will be messed up, replugging fixes it

#

Best to unplug the keyboard before pulling the switch

raw crest
#

So should repulgg it to ? I don't know I just reset it and see it got fixed

sacred elm
#

If you notice similar calibration issues, just replug

raw crest

Tnx🙏for helping

man the nitro preview is such a fever dream

#

it looks like if you get nitro you get to make your profile into some amusement park ad

#

literally profile spinning randomly in 360, stars and birds flying through the header

sacred elm
#

get it

glacial wind
#

they need a keyboard pack and they would sell so many of those to keyboard discords

sacred elm
glacial wind
#

yeah i posted that other day, it's interesting that razer went back down in market share for keyboards

#

they gained a decent margin when snaptap thing happened and they also sponsored a ton of teams at that same time, so they closed gap with wooting a bit for pro usage, but now it's dropped back down a lot and wooting retook the market share

i'm more surprised by the pros using white 80he zinc alloys

that thing be heavy to be carrying

I brought my 80HE to Taiwan

Using it right now SwitchyCool

I've never owned a 80HE wrist rest, just full size and 60 mini

Too cheap to buy one when I've already got the 60 mini, even with employee discount haha

Havent checked in a while

glossy pagoda

The TKL is not the 80HE one

quasi hinge
#

I may pick this up next time I order something

#

But its closer in size?

glossy pagoda
#

There's a perfectly matched 80HE one

#

But since the design language is different, it's got a different product card

quasi hinge
glossy pagoda
#

Ooh that's what you mean

#

Yea the TKL one is pretty close but be aware that this product is discontinued and there's only a few dozen left for sale

glacial wind
#

iirc asdasmos doesn't like the slope for 80he one

quasi hinge
glossy pagoda
#

Oh excuse me, it's just the blue version of the TKL wrist rest that is about to be permanently sold out, still have quite a few of the black ones

glossy pagoda
#

I didn't actually pay for it, so that helps the value proposition

tawdry tree
# untold wigeon use mech top housing and put it on he?

possible but good luck finding a combination that fits well. Gateron Zero Degree’s top housing sort of fits on Kailh Mistrals but not perfectly. You need a lot of switches and a lot of time to find good combinations.

@glacial wind lets say you want a Sony lens, but you also want an IEM, in order to maximize saving up for a Sony lens what would be chosen to maximize that possibilitykapp

yeah all of them are still popular cause it takes a lot of time for 'normie' picks to change

they did in some cases

i know there's a dunu kima 2 already, no idea if it was good or not though as i got out of iems after buying 1 good one

Good one which means expensive?

if they say "nah it's probably too hard," i'll stop it right then and there

calm pulsar
#

you’d need your own model I think
cause the stock plastic might be too thin for wood

lyric nimbus
#

yes

#

of course

steel ibex
#

since when did woot become aa tag

lyric nimbus
#

i was thinking more of like "is it possible to make a wooden case with all the mounts?"

tall hollow
lyric nimbus
#

rather than "is it possible to make it 1:1?"

tall hollow
#

There is no such thing as "rail to rail" voltages in Hall effect sensors lmaooooo

fallen pecan
tawdry tree
tall hollow
#

Rail to rail op amps are alright for this application

#

Since it can swing the voltage to both positive and negative

tawdry tree
#

something “99%” of other HE boards don’t do?

safe sphinx
tall hollow
lyric nimbus
#

awesome

tall hollow
#

Actually the crossover distortion might actually be worse on rail to rail opamps

lyric nimbus
#

i was thinking maybe this would work

#

wood case with the 3d printed plastic inside as a mount

#

and then just slap on the top plate

#

Or it's worded extremely horribly

#

OH NAH IT GETS WORSE

tawdry tree
#

who cares about accuracy as long as it sounds interesting

tall hollow
#

Double hall supply

#

Why

#

This keyboard will be sucking so much power all the time.

#

The subtle voltage difference between the two supplies will make it so inefficient

#

Who designed this thing

#

I'm gonna rip them to shreds

#

And the electrical engineer that approved any of this

chilly mural
stray tiger
#

It's not about fast. That's the point.

glacial wind
#

They’re doing the before/after photoshop thing that monitor brands love to do with the fake before image lol

chilly mural
#

I forgot about this. Damn

tall hollow

#

higher number = better

stray tiger
#

I'm not even sure I understand what they are advertising. The sensors job is literally to "sense"/measure. They either work well or they don't and the sensors used by Wooting are extremely accurate and power efficient

tall hollow
stray tiger
#

Maybe they are saying they while sensor X is only accurate down to the millivolt theirs are accurate to microvolts? Lol

glacial wind
#

I bet it’s because a lot of Chinese testers are testing accuracy and ms via usb voltage and this sort of things somehow impacts their testing even though it has no real impact

#

It’s got to be something dumb along those lines

tall hollow
stray tiger
chilly mural
tall hollow
#

A lot

#

And I'm not even an EE, an EE will probably crash out over this

glacial wind
#

I always wonder why these Chinese brands won’t spend like a couple hundred dollars for a half decent graphic designer to clean up their landing page marketing

#

at least make it so your page graphics don’t look like a 10th grade project done in ms word

stray tiger
#

In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king. Or something like that

tall hollow
#

you run a constant current though the hall sensor, you put a magnet near it to disturb the electron flow, and then that is observed as a voltage difference by the keyboard.

#

thats really all there is to it

chilly mural
#

and that's very cool

tall hollow
#

it is

#

you can thank Edwin Hall for that!

chilly mural
#

eh he

stray tiger
#

I asked AI to explain like I'm 5

#

Hall effect keyboards measure keystrokes using magnets and Hall effect sensors. Each key has a magnet attached. When you press a key, the magnet moves closer to the sensor, changing the magnetic field around it. The Hall effect sensor detects this change and creates a small voltage. The keyboard measures this voltage to figure out how far and fast the key was pressed, then sends that info to the computer to register the keystroke.

tall hollow
#

yeah lmao

stray tiger
#

I need to try again, as that's not 100a% clear and accurate.

#

Either way, people seem to understand basic voltage measurement but throw in magnets and it becomes voodoo

cyan lark
#

Spin magnets near a coil of wire and you become a god

tall hollow

untold wigeon
lyric nimbus

oh yeah

#

quick question

lyric nimbus
#

how would it interact with the screws?

dapper zephyr
#

hello everyone, i have ordered my 80HE. there are already some of these inlay layers in there, i.e. insulation. can you still insulate the sound or is everything already in there?

tropic urchin
#

polyfill is nice since you can add as much or as little as you want and you usually get an industrial sized bag that will last until the heat death of the universe so

#

ppl have used kilmat too i believe if you want to go super heavy duty insulation

languid kestrel
lyric nimbus
#

i don't see any like

#

inner grooves for the screws

#

so would it get screwed in the first place

tawdry tree
#

you’d have to redesign it a bit for it to be cnc compatible

#

it doesn’t have thread because it’s plastic

#

the screws go directly into the plastic

languid kestrel
#

not to be mega rude but honestly I don't think you should be thinking about CNCing your own custom case if your engineering knowhow doesn't include threads

#

the design files are not really meant for someone to just take, go to a machining shop and tell them "here, make this"

lyric nimbus
#

what are they for

#

im gonna be consulting the people who run the machine shop at my university

languid kestrel
languid kestrel
#

just the material in that quantity is gonna be a lot, the machine time is easily a day and the CAM/CAD work is another day or two

untold wigeon
#

because u're making for a small amount

lyric nimbus
#

honestly the machine time is fine

#

my university offers it for free iirc

untold wigeon
#

maybe if u're making it with larger amount & a factory that does cnc, it could be cheaper

#

i'm also working on making a 80he case smile

#

taking each parts that i like from the cases i used before

lyric nimbus
#

i want an aluminum case for my wooting two

languid kestrel
#

yeah if you spend a few months or weeks redesigning the case to be suitable for milling, you could sell the end result for two-three hundred

tawdry tree
#

you have to redesign it

#

you can make it simple

languid kestrel
#

if you're commissioning someone to make you a one-off it'll be one to two thousand

untold wigeon
#

thinking about leaf spring gasket as well (not sure about it rn)

tall hollow
tawdry tree
#

if it’s 3d printed, sure

#

woot didn’t because it’s not meant to be disassembled

#

it’s why I don’t recommend people doing it

#

you can only screw into plastic so many times

lyric nimbus
#

i want a really funny aluminum case though

tall hollow
tawdry tree
tall hollow
tawdry tree
#

or just pay someone to do it but then it can get expensive fairly quickly

lyric nimbus
tawdry tree
#

awesome

tall hollow
#

have you ever worked with CAD softwares before?

lyric nimbus
#

i've worked with uhh

#

onshape before

tawdry tree
#

if I were you, I’d make a plate for it as well

tall hollow
tawdry tree
#

so you can ditch the stock alu one

#

with the curve in it

languid kestrel
#

yeah, you need to make it machineable, the plastic case is not machineable

lyric nimbus
#

i've been told

languid kestrel
#

you take the reference design file, pull off the critical geometry (mostly mounting holes and the plate interface) and ditch everything else

tall hollow
tawdry tree
languid kestrel
#

and then make it as simple as possible and hope someone will machine your design for you for a couple cases of beer instead of 750€ catnod

tall hollow
tawdry tree
#

it’s handy af

#

(UNIVERSITY MACHINING PLACE!!!!!)

tawdry tree
lyric nimbus
#

hopefully

tall hollow
tawdry tree
#

for sure

tawdry tree
lyric nimbus
#

ok now the question

#

how would i go through a prototyping process?

tawdry tree
#

you got a 3d printer for use at ur uni?

lyric nimbus
#

of course

tawdry tree
#

good

#

make a design, think it through 100 times

#

then 3d print jt

#

find out you didn’t think it through enough

#

-repeat 3 times

#

then get it machined

lyric nimbus
#

yeah ok

tawdry tree
#

😃👍

lyric nimbus
#

but what about the screws

tawdry tree
#

stand offs

#

if your cnc machine can’t cut threads into holes, you can just make a hole through the case

lyric nimbus
#

well

#

i have a project i can work on next semester

#

:)

tawdry tree
#

lmk how it goes

#

and best of luck man

dapper zephyr
#

did someone replaced the ? (6) Silicone sandwich pad & gasket-mount. first of all i see that the factory inlay has a very complex and retaining architecture. it seems strange to me to simply replace something so complex with an inlay / mat / sponge.

lyric nimbus
#

like

#

i hope it turns out fucking awesome

#

in the meantime

#

i need to consider other mods

tawdry tree
lyric nimbus
#

ideally i have uhh

#
  • black/dark gray aluminum case, slightly lighter aluminum plate
  • really nice black keycaps
  • nice keys
dapper zephyr
#

do you found a pad of Poron to replace the silicon pad

lyric nimbus
#

honestly?

#

the stock keycaps are quite good already

tall hollow
#

Or use a threadmill

tawdry tree
tawdry tree
lyric nimbus
#

ok time for the more traditional questions

tawdry tree
#

the 80he already comes with case foam so that’s kinda unnecessary

#

you could get the plate as well to try tho

dapper zephyr
#

i will later

lyric nimbus
#

i kinda want to see if i can upgrade from stock

#

like keep the same vibe

thorn zealot
lyric nimbus
#

yeah

thorn zealot
#

U could look at some simple wob caps

lyric nimbus
#

hm

lyric nimbus
#

unironically

#

the stock caps are pretty good already

tawdry tree
lyric nimbus
tawdry tree
#

Stock on the 2HE were etched ABS afsik

#

unless you got the Lekker version

#

that was dyesub PBT

lyric nimbus
#

my keycaps feel grainy

#

so i thought it was PBT

tawdry tree
#

hmm

#

etched abs is a lot smoother

#

than woot’s doubleshot pbt

lyric nimbus
#

it feels grainier compared to my 11 year old razer keyboard

tawdry tree
#

maybe I’m misremembering

lyric nimbus
#

which is almost definitely ABS

#

and speaking of which

#

i talked about this in #💬│general but i wonder what a hypothetical ivory keycap would feel like

half hill
#

I won’t lie I don’t really like that channel TvT

tawdry tree
#

Oh wow

half hill
#

Lowkey feel like tech and keyboard modding are my safe spaces

lyric nimbus
#

but i wonder how it'd feel

tall hollow
lyric nimbus
#

and yeah i supposed it was PBT

tall hollow
tawdry tree
tall hollow
#

I wonder though

lyric nimbus
#

i didn't like it because it was grainy

tawdry tree
#

I think they changed that

lyric nimbus
#

but it kinda grew on me

#

it feels nice

tall hollow
#

Single shot braille keycaps would be cool

lyric nimbus
#

what is "single shot" and "double shot"

tall hollow
#

Double shot means 2 plastics are injected into one mold

tawdry tree
#

useless

tall hollow
#

True lmao

tawdry tree
#

but would look kinda cool

lyric nimbus
#

ah ok

tall hollow
#

You can also do triple shot and quadruple shot but the fluid dynamics with those is much more complicated and requires more intentional designing around it.

lyric nimbus
#

anyways after looking at keycaps i am VERY curious on how a hypothetical ivory keycap would feel

tall hollow
#

You know what would be cool though

lyric nimbus
#

like

tall hollow
#

Solid jade keycaps

lyric nimbus
#

i assume it'd feel like god

tall hollow
#

Lmao

lyric nimbus
#

hey man

#

at least your question CAN be answered

#

i'd get arrested before i got the answer to mine

lyric nimbus
#

arent they brittle?

polar girder
#

Idk do you punch your keycaps?

lyric nimbus
#

no

polar girder
#

Jk

#

Good

lyric nimbus
#

that is fair

polar girder
#

Machining would be difficult to say the least lol

lyric nimbus
#

but i'm curious about ivory specifically because old pianos used them

#

how would it transfer over to keycaps

tawdry tree
#

cerakeys but lighter

#

like bone

lyric nimbus
#

mmm

#

so how'd they feel

tawdry tree
#

slippery

#

lol

lyric nimbus
#

would they feel good...

tawdry tree
#

eh

#

slippery is kinda not nice

#

imo

#

I have a paper opener supposedly from bone of a camel

lyric nimbus
#

hm

tawdry tree
#

it feels like ceramic

lyric nimbus
#

mm

#

yeah ok

tawdry tree
#

like a ceramic but less dense

#

ivory should be similar

#

or so I heard

lyric nimbus
#

so it's just "do you like slippery keys"

#

and if the answer is "yes" it'd feel really fucking good and "no" it'd feel weird

tawdry tree
#

not a paper opener, a letter opener*

tall hollow
#

So it won't look like absolute garbage like 5 years down the line

#

The same thing can't be said about pbt or abs keycaps lmao

lyric nimbus
#

man if only ivory was ethical to source

tall hollow
#

And it's not the good kind of shiny

#

It's like, greasy and sticky looking type of shiny

tawdry tree
lyric nimbus
#

yeah i'll get to figure it out when im 40

#

time to talk about a more realistic thing

#

i think i want an artisanal keycap for my escape key that's just a simplified version of my pfp etched onto it

tawdry tree
#

project number two

lyric nimbus
#

yeah

#

that project is gonna be much easier

#

and simpler

#

Wooting is going to release new 60he on livestream or after livestream?

lyric nimbus
#

it can't be THAT bad

#

compared to cnc milling aluminum

#

maybe i can make the pfp out of silver or something?

#

idk

#

i probably need <1g anyways

tawdry tree
tawdry tree

also it’s 60TMR

not 60HE

fpfp

lyric nimbus

wait

this is PERFECT

tawdry tree

lol

lyric nimbus
#

i can just epoxy mold it

tawdry tree
#

yeah

#

can prob find em on amazon

lyric nimbus
#

and then put something cool in the epoxy

tidal frigate
tawdry tree
#

yeah exactly

lyric nimbus
#

ok yeah this project is so much easier

#

compared to the aluminum case

gusty patio
#

what does tmr mean

tawdry tree
tidal frigate
tawdry tree
#

just a different type of sensor

tawdry tree
gusty patio
#

interesting, okay thanks

tawdry tree
#

they don’t need it anymore

gusty patio
#

yeah i realized 60 is prob not for me, imma miss my arrow keys, i think i need a 65..

tidal frigate
gusty patio
#

is that a thing, i dont even know tbh

tawdry tree
gusty patio
#

i see it now, yeah that looks alright

tidal frigate
tawdry tree
#

but fits all 60% cases

#

so case compatibility is great unlike with 65%

gusty patio
#

oh 🤔 cool

tawdry tree
gusty patio
#

and is there 64% HE pcbs

tawdry tree
#

but if they didn’t do the founders campaign of the 80HE, we’d have an abomination of a layout rn

tawdry tree
#

many

#

Hemu and MM Studio

gusty patio
#

thanks, good stuff. ill read into it

tawdry tree
#

are the most popular ones

lyric nimbus
#

so the stock double shot PBT keys are perfectly fine

#

i kinda like that aesthetic too

tawdry tree
#

the best shine through ones you can get

lyric nimbus
#

hm

#

now onto switches

#

i think the most obvious upgrade is owlab ti he?

what other switch options do i have
