For an he switch
It means that you fucked it up somehow
i didnt even plug anytging in i followed directions
Easy, you never know
is there a way to replace the daughterboard connecter or do i need w whole new one
@sacred elm
Message wooting
how
Pick the category and issue you need help with, and we'll guide you through the process.
if i broke it on accident i wont get it fixed right
Does anyone have the images for the switch inserting thing? Like what part faces up?
rgb window should face north
And that would be this right?
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
Alr ty
👍
And I just push the switch into the hole?
now my fucking moniter isnt tirning on
🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀
yes
skill issue
-10000 aura if your rgb is disabled and thats why you thought kb doesnt work
But I thought no RGB gave +aura
not always
Yeah RGB is always -aura
ok but what if crin made rgb iems

RGB was never meant for keyboards
So I lost one of the screws for the stabilizers somehow. Could one of the silver screws in the extras from the package suffice?
Seems to have worked
real shit
Unless it's on sneakers
I googled something and thought that Google was reacting 🥀 to my search query
@sacred elm you've infected me
🥀
The heck is a tag

Yeah
oh
Well I did
Neat

Is this their new version of guilds
Hrm I have to find a Sony tag
HE HE
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
He’ll understand

ok 
I checked and there’s no Sony tag yet unfortunately
I'm an ex wooting user ok 
Day 5 of waiting for 60HE Pro 😴 Good night.
You missed the woot tag exclusive leak earlier?

Just the first 60 people with the tag
I was third, got no leaks, removed the tag
Yes
it's been 707 days and i still have no colored role 

Absolute Chaos Below
😳

The bigsly role, pure black
Unfortunately you can't keep it 😛
Quick question I placed my order at the start of May for the rooting 80HE white zinc
One does not
Is that the v2?
Yes
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
Whooooo ty
maybe raeds color
Im good
if color role is green i might consider buying wooting 60he pro then 
heh
Green color is for moderators
No poop or piss color please
dark green >:D
Salmon
forest green
Red color
Founders are red

maybe black
Im down
Too dark for default darkmode
i was black for a moment 
Actually true
then go light mode
No black
at this point shf gonna back 60he pro because he just wants another color

True.
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
I was yellow
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
then be porpol, just be on the wooting team frfr
Yes
Why
Also it's on a list of minor QOL improvements for the hub to be able to selectively choose which roles are applied out of the list you're eligible for
older the product the higher the prio
Cool
To be able to recognize those who have been here longest
yey
see i wouldve been pink if they kept nitro booster color 
Did we remove the nitro boost color?
Womp
Maybe if your profile had some darth Vader it would convince mark to help you
Better buy that new Star Wars darth Vader profile display
May the Actuation Force be with you
LMAO
It’s only $15 thockson, a steal
😃 👍
I'm probably legally obligated to get this one, eh?
yes
Can't have the name and pfp General Akbar without having a little bit of space battle
Done
🌹
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
wiggle and pull
Wiggle up and down slowly is the strategy, but generally most would also advise a metal keycap puller helps too
Some switches can be really tight on the switch plate, disassembling that helps
Also I assume you removed the keycap first?
Otherwise I’m confused at the whole scratching part
Must have scratched an adjacent keycap
Ah that’s it I guess
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 .
u got a ph1 screw driver?
Yes
if so u could just disassemble it and push it out from under
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
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💀
Lekkers in 80he are particularly tight due to some tolerance stuff with the plate being tighter
L ejin
Feel free to contact support regarding the scratched keycap. While technically "user error" we're pretty generous when it comes to providing replacement keycaps when accidents happen. Trickier in the US than the rest of the world, but can always ask
Pick the category and issue you need help with, and we'll guide you through the process.
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
Because you didnt unplug the keyboard before pulling the switch
Yeah I didn't
Is it bad?
Calibration will be messed up, replugging fixes it
Best to unplug the keyboard before pulling the switch
So should repulgg it to ? I don't know I just reset it and see it got fixed
If you notice similar calibration issues, just replug
Tnx🙏for helping
HE stems are too big, so probably not possible
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
they need a keyboard pack and they would sell so many of those to keyboard discords
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
💪
W00T!
sixtyhepro 😴
5$ for 10
$5 would be some craziness
flux v2🔥
gold plated flux wuque switch
hahaha
unironically it's the current cost for US people trying to buy flux with tariffs though

Oh they are instock
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
But I brought a plastic one not a zinc one
Using it right now 
60HE Pro - 50% usage
I despise this mouse. The scroll wheel is actually worse than useless, it randomly scrolls the opposite direction
lmao
oh just checked, jL stopped using his white zinc
He is using logi analog keyboard now

Thats why they cant win anything for months now, blunder
is his team sponsored? I remember he was going against sponsor wish before to use wooting
rekt
Logitech is their sponsor yeah, but he was using wooting
I'll be surprised switching to logi making him lose more
Maybe his white zinc got cooked
yeah i remember they were talking about it before with how he was supposed to be using logitech the whole time lol
Niko is personally sponsored now yeah
Yep
And logi finally manage to get to JL
They already wanted to give fines for each tournament they didn't use their keyboards. But JL managed to work it out for a bit
Not anymore though. Sad
i can't help but notice max is a wootless tag member. I'm not sure we can trust his information
Why make the best product to encourage pro adoption when you make enough glorified e-waste to just pay them to use your shit
so basicslly the owlab ti he switches are similiar to the geon raw he, right?
less wobble and better sound
Yes
Raws without flaws 🌹
that rhymes well
Yeah, just pay em 100k or something and that does well enough
I use the 60he wrist rest with my 80he also, restecp 🫡
Mark uses 60he pro wrist rest

I prefer it to the 80he one as the original 80he rest slopes towards the back
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
The TKL is not the 80HE one
There's a perfectly matched 80HE one
But since the design language is different, it's got a different product card
Yeah but that built dif
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
iirc asdasmos doesn't like the slope for 80he one
Ill just replace with a 60he rest if ever my og gives out on me
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
Logitech quality for $100
I didn't actually pay for it, so that helps the value proposition
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 possibility
the rest goes towards lenses
yeah any of the sub $100 decent iem options these days does the job for most folks
yeh, using salnote zero 2 currently, it's quite nice for rhythm game
I remember dunu kima used to be the super popular sub $100 pick, not sure what it is these days
feels like every few months chinese brands one up themselves with a new best budget pick
Perfect for my laptop, only real reason ill look at IEMs. picked up a Apple dongle as well for 8 usd yesterday
I just stick to what crinacle tuned, it has enough bass to make the car noise go low when playing music while having the music be clear when enjoying it
Truthear hexa
Hexa still gud
yeah not saying it's not still good, but i'm sure by this time there's been like 50 different releases that match it or are tiny bit better
hexa was era with it was hexa and dunu kima as 2 of the popular picks
yeah all of them are still popular cause it takes a lot of time for 'normie' picks to change
Well they are going to make hexa2
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?
yeah it was expensive, although even it is probably out of date now with how fast iem tech moves
ahh, just like HE right now. Can't wait for 0.0001mm rt
yeah iem are literally like that, except since they don't need to make tons of constantly updating software for it they actually perform well
Well hexa is all i need. I might change cable and tips tho
Is EPZ Q1 Pro still good? Use them like half year
We need 0.0000005 minimum
@glacial wind expensive iems are waste of money
sure, there's diminishing returns like any high end stuff
Unless you get custom fitted iem
at this point you can say that any luxury stuff (custom keyboards, audio gear) is a waste of money
but it’s just a hobby
so it still might have value
yeah every hobby has big diminishing returns past certain pricepoints, that's just how it is. You pay more because you enjoy it for that 5 or 10% better
Look i already went into keyboard and hotwheels rabbithole, i cant afford to get into next one

you can go to bottled water rabbithole
lol that’s fair
the important thing is to start with a good sony camera and lens combo
im into custom keyboards, controllers, guitars
what’s next
some say it might
heating
Yea I’m cold
Women?

be like me, have a lot of hobby but spend the minimum amount to enjoy
Agreed, so looks like you have to go 
who needs woman when you can have AI waifu
better cold than hot
Agreed
i’m planning to use milky yellows
i love the top housing

Garfield disagrees
yeah good luck. maybe the Jade Gaming stem works, if you have it. It’s more like a mech stem.
what’s there to be leaked? we know everything already thanks to jakub.
They’re announcing the 65 tomorrow, then?
i assume it's raffle start then in week before computex maybe we get some teasers for whatever upcoming board is
that'd be my guess
I don’t even know why I’m insincerely hyping myself up - I’m USA and therefore can’t have nice things anyway
👀 (no)
🥭
Thats an easy fix tho, either solder a new encoder or buy a replacement pcb, since the buttons and main pcb are separate

He's right, that is easier!
Well you can always get your EU friend to buy it
But... it would still need to come back here. Unless you're suggesting lying to customs how dare you 😲
Unacceptable
This the typa thinking outside the box I visit this channel for 
You know which channel is better
#Help channel in Gateron server
😃 👍
Keep telling logitech that your superlight is broken or scrollwheel is busted so that you have an infinite RMA farm until they run out of units so nobody has to suffer that mouse
Oh oh
They are releasing mini version of superlight in september
Oh no
1mm shorter
New bug just dropped with last firmware update:
Keyboard wont turn on after rebooting, you have to reconnect the usb 
Did the owllab ship yet
Yeah im done with pcbs from other brands, imma ride this one out till new 60he
Only way im paying for another brands pcb at this point, is if they somehow get (official) access to wootility

Gt60 pro hardware with wootility software and firmware would be dope 
For the placebo maxxers, such as myself
Yeah pcb seems great but its nothing without proper firmware
Has anyone used the gt60 case with 60he yet
yep
Wootility source code leak
You and I gave very different definitions of easy lol
It's my travel mouse and emergency backup mouse. That it sucks so much is just how I keep myself grounded when I use my regular mouse that doesn't suck
the encoder might just be broken, when my superlight started to do that I replaced the encoder and it works fine now.
replaced it with a dustproof TTC encoder
legit just a 3 dollar fix
I still find it baffling that logitech uses shit ass Kailh encoders
if something is broken, don’t fix it 😃👍
eh true, fixing compact electrinics like this can be a bit nontrivial to some people.
it’s easy but tedious and takes a bit of time. if you don’t have a soldering iron, it’ll be close to the price of a new mouse so might as well
Why fix when you can make them buy a new mouse
because ewaste is bad for the environment.
true lol
I already have an electronics lab in my basement so doing fixes like these is easy.
I have no soldering equipment and no patience for that kind of thing
But I'm also not wastefully throwing it away, I'm using it and complaining 
Is this the right way to put the switch in?
yep
Nah bro, you cooked💀 ||jk, everything alr||
you should definitely throw it away and see if you can cop another at computex 
Cop first
it adds a flair of desperation tho, is fun 
ROFL
just sell your house forehead
im p sure most electronics shops would gladly replace the encoder for you
and live in a nice cardboard box
sounds like to me turing doesnt want to live in a big beautiful cardboard box smh
2nd rattle snake recolor dropped 🔥
this better, orange ugly 🎃
anybody tried the Reads HE yet?
Wtf does HiFi sound mean 
High Fidelity
term used to describe audio that's reproduced from an original recording with minimal distortion and a full range of audible frequencies.
hi-fi equipment produces inaudible noise and distortion, and has a flat frequency response within the range of human hearing.
Yeah bro lol
thermaltake makes switches?
bad translation I think
nice for the 80HE and if you like quiet.
if you like clack clack clack then not so much
posted in imoshi’s server too 😭
thought u weren’t gonna
tbf i wasnt
original chinese one
funny part is that nowhere inthis graphic does it mention the name of the switch
which is 太阳神
sun god
Full pom?
it says sun god in the translated version
so has to be there somewhere, surely 👀
seems like it
Bruh one more to collect
holy blind
Putting ti hes in my infiniswitch gauntlet
gonna be needing more gauntlets 
where do you get the plates
Dream Woot poms
imoshi gets them from a local store iirc
they’re pretty nice
ye
Or just get a bigger one

and where is said local store
Japan is always two steps ahead of other world
You literally can buy some fine shi like wlmouse or limited final mouse just in local store
They also like changing floor plans in malls or like subway station to create electricity in everyday life from people walking on em
I forgot what it's called but it cool
Fr
Kinetic energy to electricity for steet lights

It’s probably a trial thing in only specific test areas
not even the right use of HiFi lmao
I doubt that’s widespread
Most likely
It's not everywhere rn
technically correct lol
It is a switch tray used in a pack of 35 switches.It is convenient for management and display of surplus switches.contents・Plastic trays (containers, lids)・Box (with window) Keyswitch not included.
yes!
They're testing it in some malls rn iirc
most AC electricity that you get comes from spinning magnets against a bunch of coils super fast lmao
It’s still very trial level
Because the energy made for an entire thing powers like one light display lol
So there’s still questions on if it’s worth or not
oh epic i can get them in person
will be in tokyo for a bit this summer
I wonder what conformal coating gateron is using for their GT60 Pro to allow it to be submerged in slightly acidic stuff like Coca-Cola and La Croy https://youtu.be/APJT163PZQQ?si=FFsqwSRnINFTsg2v&t=706
안녕! It's Mikey here! Thank you to @gateronswitch for sending me out the new GT60 Pro! This board was truly impressive and the fact that it really was coke proof and water poof was quite impressive! Take a look at the links below!
Gateron GT60 Pro:https://shorturl.at/gaxMn
Wooting x Optimum Case: https://shorturl.at/tfRIN
Akko Astrolink:htt...
I read coke proof and fully expected it to be resistant to white powder
its probably dust resistant too
maybe not the switches but the PCB
they might be sing a UV cured soldermask
I can finally hit a line on my kb now
along with a varnish
Real
Me when i get a junior dev to vibe code the firmware for my precision gaming keyboard
You'll be as good as GT60 Pro devs
The problem with spilling coke isn’t usually the initial spill
Unless it specifically lands and shorts a circuit you’re fine at first, but it’s when you get sugary gunk that eats into it over time
has to be dr. pepper proof you're right
now do it again to be sure
im good
upgrade the 8% to 40% and now we're talking
#lightweight
LOL
+-80 is ass tho, no?
It’s pretty mediocre
like all the budget ttc ones are 60-80 or so +-
So they skimped on the magnet I guess
but language wise, if somebody is dumb enough they'll always think 'higher' = 'better'
higher is always better
when they got that 更快 and 更hifi 🤑
just skip the ez80, it tests slower than a 80he without tachyon mode
95% of boards on the market are not meant for *that kind of customizing
Man.
Isn’t wood especially problematic due to it expanding/contracting?
I recall people trying to do wood cases in the past running into those sorts of issues with wood
like i guess i can try to make an outer shell and then 3d print the mount for the pcb?
maple would probably do fine, it’s sturdy and used in guitar necks to alleviate some of the expanding/contracting from different air humidity
its hard to mod 2he
im assuming there are cad models of the case
i'm gonna try to 3d print at my university and ask people who actually know how to woodwork to see what they think if it's possible to make a case
if they say "nah it's probably too hard," i'll stop it right then and there
you’d need your own model I think
cause the stock plastic might be too thin for wood
since when did woot become aa tag
i was thinking more of like "is it possible to make a wooden case with all the mounts?"
Also I just like how they just use the most wrong terminology ever
rather than "is it possible to make it 1:1?"
There is no such thing as "rail to rail" voltages in Hall effect sensors lmaooooo
nope, unless you meant wooting files, then yes
🤫 the average joe won’t know
What I think they are actually referring to is the op-amps used to amplify the Hall effect voltage difference.
Rail to rail op amps are alright for this application
Since it can swing the voltage to both positive and negative
something “99%” of other HE boards don’t do?
True lmao
awesome
Actually the crossover distortion might actually be worse on rail to rail opamps
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
Just getting caught up. It's crazy how much marketing impacts misinformed users.
The marketing material itself is just, wrong, LMAO
Or it's worded extremely horribly
OH NAH IT GETS WORSE
who cares about accuracy as long as it sounds interesting
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
How fast is ez60/63 then compared to 80he
It's not about fast. That's the point.
They’re doing the before/after photoshop thing that monitor brands love to do with the fake before image lol
I forgot about this. Damn
The case is beautiful, but the gasket performance is not good at all
It's barely better than top mount imo
Like, there are beefier fricking LDOs man, why in the hell do you need two of them!!??
higher number = better
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
To the untrained eye that is unfortunately true.
Bro me neither
Exactly
Maybe they are saying they while sensor X is only accurate down to the millivolt theirs are accurate to microvolts? Lol
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
Well that doesn't matter because when you work in the scale of microvolts the EMI from your phone, WiFi AP, and even your microwave in your kitchen can cause fluctuations and noise.
That's my point. It's marketing bs
This is soo much jargon.
As an engineer it irks me
A lot
And I'm not even an EE, an EE will probably crash out over this
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
I think there is also enough mystery around the way hall effect works overall and so it's easy to "sound smart" to the uneducated. In the end, it's still just measuring electrons
In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king. Or something like that
All the keyboard actually does is, measure voltage. Lmao.
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
and that's very cool
eh he
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.
yeah lmao
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
Spin magnets near a coil of wire and you become a god
real lmao
even though the two go hand in hand. which is why Electricity and Magnetism is taught together at the same time.
you can return 2he and mod 80he 
no i like big keyboards...
Apple dongle is here
which one?
My laptop audio is saved
oh, a apple type c to headphone jack?
Yeah
No it just quite stinks
Yeah gave it a test run on my desktop, thisll work beautifully
anyways yeah im giving up on the wooden case
aluminum it is
if i CNC mill this out of aluminum
how would it interact with the screws?
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?
it comes with standard foam, or replace it with other forms (polyfill, other foams etc), you could prob use more foam if you want, but might cause fitting issues if you go too far with it
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
what does this mean
i don't see any like
inner grooves for the screws
so would it get screwed in the first place
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
do you mean... threads
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"
oh
what are they for
im gonna be consulting the people who run the machine shop at my university
for reference
they'll tell you it'll be 1000€ or more most likely
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
yep
because u're making for a small amount
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 
taking each parts that i like from the cases i used before
i want an aluminum case for my wooting two
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
if you're commissioning someone to make you a one-off it'll be one to two thousand
thinking about leaf spring gasket as well (not sure about it rn)
holy guacamole
or more ideally you can use heat set inserts
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
i want a really funny aluminum case though
yeah
you can do whatever if you’re willing to make it a personal project and learn a bit
you'd need to spend some time in CAD to work out all the pocketing and whatnot to make it look nice while also making sure it actually works.
or just pay someone to do it but then it can get expensive fairly quickly
yes, i am fully willing to make it a personal project
awesome
nice
have you ever worked with CAD softwares before?
if I were you, I’d make a plate for it as well
onshape is sufficient
yeah, you need to make it machineable, the plastic case is not machineable
i've been told
you take the reference design file, pull off the critical geometry (mostly mounting holes and the plate interface) and ditch everything else
yeah, that case was optimized to be injection molded, not machined
you can use https://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ and https://kbplate.ai03.com/ to generate a plate file (this is without the standoff locations which you’ll need to add in yourself from the wooting file).
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€ 
ooh! I never knew this existed!
it’s handy af
love my local makerspace! everyone is so chill there lmao
or free
(UNIVERSITY MACHINING PLACE!!!!!)
you select your layout from the editor, download the json (or copy the raw data) and upload it to ai03
hopefully
take advantage of the Uni makerspace!
for sure
2HE’s layout being ANSI 104 or ISO 105
you got a 3d printer for use at ur uni?
of course
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
yeah ok
😃👍
but what about the screws
stand offs
if your cnc machine can’t cut threads into holes, you can just make a hole through the case
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.
like
i hope it turns out fucking awesome
in the meantime
i need to consider other mods
you can’t just replace the gasket silicone with anything but there is foam specifically cut like that available on aliexpress
ideally i have uhh
- black/dark gray aluminum case, slightly lighter aluminum plate
- really nice black keycaps
- nice keys
do you found a pad of Poron to replace the silicon pad
found it
yeah true
share link
ok time for the more traditional questions
yep that’s it
the 80he already comes with case foam so that’s kinda unnecessary
you could get the plate as well to try tho
i will later
The stock keycaps?
yeah
U could look at some simple wob caps
hm
Etched ABS? 🤮
i thought they were PBT?
Stock on the 2HE were etched ABS afsik
unless you got the Lekker version
that was dyesub PBT
it feels grainier compared to my 11 year old razer keyboard
maybe I’m misremembering
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
I won’t lie I don’t really like that channel TvT
Oh wow
Lowkey feel like tech and keyboard modding are my safe spaces
this is obviously not gonna happen for ethical/legal issues
but i wonder how it'd feel
Oh nahhhh
and yeah i supposed it was PBT
Double shot pbt good
yeah it is
I wonder though
i didn't like it because it was grainy
I think they changed that
Single shot braille keycaps would be cool
what is "single shot" and "double shot"
Single shot means only one plastic is injected
Double shot means 2 plastics are injected into one mold
double shot shinethrough would go hard ngl
useless
True lmao
but would look kinda cool
ah ok
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.
anyways after looking at keycaps i am VERY curious on how a hypothetical ivory keycap would feel
Great question
You know what would be cool though
like
Solid jade keycaps
i assume it'd feel like god
hey man
at least your question CAN be answered
i'd get arrested before i got the answer to mine
What about pearl
Idk do you punch your keycaps?
no
that is fair
Machining would be difficult to say the least lol
but i'm curious about ivory specifically because old pianos used them
how would it transfer over to keycaps
would they feel good...
eh
slippery is kinda not nice
imo
I have a paper opener supposedly from bone of a camel
hm
it feels like ceramic
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
Ivory also patinas very well over time
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
man if only ivory was ethical to source
They just become smooth and shiny the more you use it lmao
And it's not the good kind of shiny
It's like, greasy and sticky looking type of shiny
we’ll have plants that grow tusks in a decade or two, dw 🥰
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
project number two
@tawdry tree lets bet
aight
surelyy
i mean it's just a normal ass keycap with my pfp etched onto it
Wooting is going to release new 60he on livestream or after livestream?
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
you can get molds like these for pretty cheap
after
also it’s 60TMR
not 60HE
fpfp
lol
i can just epoxy mold it
and then put something cool in the epoxy
Oh Yes forgot
yeah exactly
what does tmr mean
after livestream I think and during the computex stream if everything goes right
I mean page of new founders campaign
tunneling magnetoresistance
just a different type of sensor
maybe no founders campaign
interesting, okay thanks
they don’t need it anymore
yeah i realized 60 is prob not for me, imma miss my arrow keys, i think i need a 65..
Well do you want new fancy discord role
64% 
is that a thing, i dont even know tbh
Maybe they’ll do a symbolic founders campaign
i see it now, yeah that looks alright
80he campaign was like that tho
just the bottom right corner turned into arrow keys
but fits all 60% cases
so case compatibility is great unlike with 65%
oh 🤔 cool
eh, a bit
and is there 64% HE pcbs
but if they didn’t do the founders campaign of the 80HE, we’d have an abomination of a layout rn
thanks, good stuff. ill read into it
are the most popular ones
so the stock double shot PBT keys are perfectly fine
i kinda like that aesthetic too
yeah, they’re good
the best shine through ones you can get
hm
now onto switches
i think the most obvious upgrade is owlab ti he?
what other switch options do i have
phylinas
what is a 64%?
60% with arrows + 1 key
Hi, would it be possible to have something engraved on the golden side panel of my Wooting keyboard at a jeweler’s? Would the engraving appear silver in that area? Has anyone ever tried this before ?
Sayo device K64H3MZ
I had my board milled but that was on the zinc
I think that is pure brass unless im mistaken
What you guys think of my mods for the wooting 60he+?
Case: redux 60
Switch: Owlab ti he
Keycaps: MK essentialls black
PCB: wooting 60he+
Plate: wooting 60he+ (steel)
Stabalizer: type plus x YIKB
What’s the frame
Sry mb plate*
I had the keyboard at home already so prebuilt
So prob a steel plate
Usually u label plates by the material
Other than that ur build is solid
This?
Redux 60 -> leggera/owlab/gt60
Should i get this @thorn zealot ?
That plate is made out of pc
If u want
Deeper soundin and softer feel compared to steel
No
Is it a big difference?
I mean any mods u don’t need
Well thats true too
Depending on the build yes
If u have no foam than yes it’s a noticeable diff
If u do it’s less noticeable
But still a decent diff
I would only get pc plate if u want a diff feel/sound
Okey, is there anything else no right?
For what ur build?
Yes
No ur 👍
