[untold wigeon]

it's better to fill it with some foam on it

imo

but i use brass for the weight

[full furnace]

surely at some point w the foam and everything it doesn’t affect it

[solar tundra]

bro i tried 2h to burger mount and it always fell off

[tulip rapids]

yeah makes it deeper

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/powerful-strong-gif-18134482

[tulip rapids]

foam and brass weight good

[full furnace]

does the USB c port fit well

[solar tundra]

I have Tofu60 with Brass Weight, i used with and without and the difference wasnt that noticeable tbh

atleast for me

[full furnace]

i rmb’d mine liked to hover abv the tofu’s port

[untold wigeon]

ye

just move it to the W version

[full furnace]

no grinding?

[untold wigeon]

nope

[solar tundra]

yeah fits good but the pcb doesnt fit 100% symetric in the case

[full furnace]

ah it’s fine

idrc

i’ll cop a silver redux then

[solar tundra]

you need to move it a little bit to left so it fits

[full furnace]

prob slap some oblivion keycaps and call it a day

[untold wigeon]

what i hate about leggera is the typing angle only

[solar tundra]

But it fits well not noticeable at all

[full furnace]

how much?

[untold wigeon]

idk why it irritates me

[tulip rapids]

my cat just licked my forehead

[untold wigeon]

5°

[full furnace]

oh

tragic

[tulip rapids]

im apart of the cat tribe

[full furnace]

[untold wigeon]

and the bottom lip is kinda ass

[full furnace]

i hate flat

i like angle

7’s perfect for me

maybe 6

[untold wigeon]

what i hate about redux is the feet only

[full furnace]

but i can’t w flat or less than 6-7

[tulip rapids]

does it line up with the wooting wrist rest?

[knotty iron]

also armory crate

[full furnace]

does it slip?

[untold wigeon]

not sure, never tried

[untold wigeon]

no, but some batch is not flat

[fringe quarry]

can we get cases with negative typing angle

[untold wigeon]

bro is cooking

[tulip rapids]

why hate the feet?

[knotty iron]

Wootility was my gateway drug to good software, can never go back

[untold wigeon]

@tulip rapids

[full furnace]

tbf it’s kbdfans, i’m not surprised

[tawdry tree]

web

[tulip rapids]

yo i saw that pin

[knotty iron]

is it better now?

[tulip rapids]

so you hate it when its flat?

[untold wigeon]

it's not flat

[tulip rapids]

i see

[untold wigeon]

i have to change mine because of batch QC

[full furnace]

could yall help me decide the keycaps, i can go w a plain black on gray set or i can go with a pbt gmk oblivion inspired set

[tulip rapids]

i wonder what type i got now

[untold wigeon]

pbtfans lyla

[tawdry tree]

idk, it’s not armory but a new web version. it wasn’t showcased so.. 😬

[full furnace]

it’s on a silver case tho

[untold wigeon]

buy a fbb keycaps ser

set*

u will love it

[trail bane]

3 months without alu case…

[full furnace]

ye heard of em

[trail bane]

[untold wigeon]

@fringe quarry how do u feel when comparing venom & 80he

[knotty iron]

I gotta come back from my trip from europe before I buy anything

[fringe quarry]

i feel sadness bc of the amount of money i spend on keyboards

[untold wigeon]

nah fr

i want people's opinions

about it

[solar tundra]

You can always get something positive out of it

[knotty iron]

at least it aint microtransactions looks at wallet

[untold wigeon]

because ngl, i felt nothing different only a little bit smoother on wooting (?)

[fringe quarry]

60 build looks better

80 lowkey sounds better rn

[untold wigeon]

now don't make me sad

mod ur venom

[fringe quarry]

im waiting for stuff

[untold wigeon]

make it sound better than 80he

[untold wigeon]

what case r u planning.

[fringe quarry]

im trying

its work

[fringe quarry]

nah i got case

leggera g

[untold wigeon]

oohh

[untold wigeon]

sad

okay

nvm let's move on

HAHAHHA

jk

love the leggera

[fringe quarry]

haha

i looks nice

[untold wigeon]

but on my mx, it's touching the left side of the case

[fringe quarry]

surface finish is kinda mid imo

[untold wigeon]

g version

[knotty iron]

I probably spent around 2k+ on keyboards as a hobby, mostly during my Wooting arc

[fringe quarry]

ye i dont think its centered on mine either

im a oring mount hater now

[untold wigeon]

the case is kinda mid, overrated since it's a G and cheap alu case

good for the price tho

[fringe quarry]

good enough once it sounds okay

[untold wigeon]

it sounds okay

not like the best sounding case

[chilly mural]

I think I've spent like close to $700 on HE board related stuff. Close to 1k if you count other board I have beforehand. At least it's not like my Piano hobby where I've spent cumulative $5k on just 2 piano (1 used 1 digital).

[fringe quarry]

also removing pcb from oring mount feels so dumb

[untold wigeon]

but for $69 (before shipping) worth the price

frog mini still better

rather than leggera

tadpole mount sounds nice

[fringe quarry]

i only ever tried a redux

and wooting zinc

[knotty iron]

i never spent anything on mech boards

[untold wigeon]

for a Tray mount, i still prefer my redux rather than leggera..
(sorry leggera lovers)

[thorn zealot]

leggera only sounds good imo in g version

[untold wigeon]

yep

the T ver. is kinda meh

[stray tiger]

I just sold one of 2 fav tray mount boards. Noxary T60, but still have my absolute fav

[knotty iron]

I got a Black ano and an Acryllic version of the Tofu60 Redux with brass weights for both

[untold wigeon]

that looks clean

ngl

[fringe quarry]

this hobby too small to be fun

[untold wigeon]

yep

@fringe quarry i suggest u to use some kinda small cover for the venom pcb standoff

idk if it's gonna work, but kbdfans sells a standoff silicone cover

i might try that

[stray tiger]

My absolute fav tray mount is even rarer. I think like only 20 or 30 made. Sentraq HP. It's like a Mekanisk Fjell but without the horrible typing angle. Weighs like 3lbs.

[fringe quarry]

do they touch

[untold wigeon]

bcs i need to buy a black leggera, since i have only moon

[untold wigeon]

wdym?

touch what

[fringe quarry]

like does the standoff touch when using oring

[untold wigeon]

the standoff on the pcb

not case

[fringe quarry]

oh

[stray tiger]

Its a charcoal gray, my white balance is off bad

[fringe quarry]

i got some random small orings

[untold wigeon]

please make me as ur son

oh wait

grandpa

[stray tiger]

Haha I'd sell it but only in the US sorry

[untold wigeon]

HAHAHAH

[tulip rapids]

thats the latest leggera case ?

[untold wigeon]

if i'm ur grandson, I don't need to buy it

[untold wigeon]

no

[tulip rapids]

what case is that

[stray tiger]

You think I give my family handouts?

[untold wigeon]

i hope ur arm gets healed (+12 years)

[untold wigeon]

how's ur arm bro

[fluid ravine]

Not bad

Scary vulnerable but I feel free

[fringe quarry]

https://www.serene.industries/product/the-icebreaker-clear-pre-order

hows the performance on this

[untold wigeon]

so u want me to break it again?

[fluid ravine]

No cast, just bandages and a brace

[tulip rapids]

thank you phish

[fluid ravine]

Finna bish slap tf out of you with my froggy case

Don't you dare

[untold wigeon]

ur froggy is not as heavy as my redux

[stray tiger]

@polar girder least we can watch CS live for the next week or two

[solar tundra]

I ordered my UR Studio Ice Ultra for 25€ only

[fluid ravine]

Well finna pull out my neo65 then

[thorn zealot]

put some more foam in ur kb and u can achieve ur he dream

[solar tundra]

Which Foam should i use

Polyfill?

Rn im using stock Tofu60 Foam

[thorn zealot]

not polyfill

polyfill doesnt affect pitch of the sound

just removes any case sounds/resonance

[solar tundra]

What Plate/Pad should i use

[untold wigeon]

fr4

would be lovely

[solar tundra]

Nono i listen to phish

[untold wigeon]

on ultra

[thorn zealot]

for ur dream just stick with poron sandwich pad and pc plate

[untold wigeon]

ok, no balls for u again

[thorn zealot]

and get a denser foam

[solar tundra]

I use Pc and Silicon rn

On my Raws

[untold wigeon]

can u lift that with 1 hand tho?

[fringe quarry]

i use fr4 switches

[untold wigeon]

at least i can shield myself with my left hand

[fluid ravine]

Sorta

[thorn zealot]

💀

[untold wigeon]

please don't hate me

it's a joke

[fluid ravine]

Nah

Full hate

[untold wigeon]

sorry papa frog

[fluid ravine]

You getting punished

Finna get a bombastic slap

[untold wigeon]

let's gooo

[fluid ravine]

From froggy himself

[stray tiger]

polyfill is used to dampen high frequency resonance and clean up the sound a bit

[solar tundra]

So PC Plate, Poron Foam, Denser Foam in Case?

[untold wigeon]

yep

[thorn zealot]

yes

[solar tundra]

Not Silicon?

🫩

[thorn zealot]

no silicone pad

[untold wigeon]

silicone is covering a low pitch sound and makes it higher pitched iirc

poron does the opposite

[untold wigeon]

idk if it makes an effect, but some people say that pet sheet would change the sound deeper as well

[solar tundra]

i rly like how it sound here

[fringe quarry]

you forgot your cable on the first one

[solar tundra]

its not my soundtest

[fringe quarry]

mb

[untold wigeon]

rawhuks here i come

[solar tundra]

Its Foam Up Wooden Case with Alu Plate

[untold wigeon]

[untold wigeon]

use a pc case

[solar tundra]

But i want it little bit less clacky

[untold wigeon]

it will make it deeper and thockier

[solar tundra]

I wanna stick with Tofu60

[untold wigeon]

ooh

69

huh

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-dog-suspicious-look-suspicious-doubt-dog-doubt-gif-23680990

[solar tundra]

Man its right next to 0

So i need to buy Denser Foam too

[untold wigeon]

yep

then relube the switches

to make it a bit deeper as well

[fringe quarry]

i lubed my duhuk and now its silent

[untold wigeon]

i think

u over lube them

[solar tundra]

Yeah i forgot about that i might just Handlube the Springs cause i dont wanna spend 20€ for that Oil tho rn

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/smg4-smg4skill-issue-skill-issue-smg4mario-smg4skill-gif-26104493

[fringe quarry]

its the spacebar tho

[untold wigeon]

oh normal

[fringe quarry]

so i fw it

[untold wigeon]

duhuk's on spacebar is kinda muted

idk why

[fringe quarry]

but the top out is loud

[solar tundra]

How height needs the foam to be

[fringe quarry]

somehow

[untold wigeon]

now

buy raw

then

rawhuks them

[fringe quarry]

i already got duhuk raw and ti

[untold wigeon]

oh

nvw

nwm*

[thorn zealot]

enough where it makes a diff in sound but not too much where u need to press ur pcb in

[solar tundra]

Yeah Bro there are like 100 different sizes

[untold wigeon]

i tried a switch and i felt that rawhuks are deeper rather than TI's

[thorn zealot]

i think u can combine the redux foam with wooting foam if u kept that

im not sure cuz i threw away the foam once i got em

[solar tundra]

no i still got it tho

[fringe quarry]

cases with screws so good

[untold wigeon]

such a waste

L phish

wasting

no eco to save the earth

[solar tundra]

So just Redux Foam and Wooting Foam on Top?

[untold wigeon]

no

case with tadpole better

[fringe quarry]

cant use foam on the g

[thorn zealot]

no foam is yucky

[untold wigeon]

use polyfill

i use polyfill on my G

[fringe quarry]

i do

[untold wigeon]

then good

papa proud of u

[fringe quarry]

although that experience is so bad

[untold wigeon]

good job penguin

[fringe quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-weird-face-quirky-silly-gif-9661471725247391129

[solar tundra]

I mean the dense foam need to be like 1cm or

[untold wigeon]

i bought esd film from geonworks

[solar tundra]

i can only find 4cm

[untold wigeon]

idk should i use it on my venom or no

[fringe quarry]

also what im supposed to do with all the other polyfill now

like that shit takes up space

[solar tundra]

Burn it

[fringe quarry]

inside?

[agile grove]

yes

[fringe quarry]

oki

[solar tundra]

Inside the Wooting🔥

[agile grove]

let the toxic plastic fumes fill up your home

[thorn zealot]

dont think u need esd film for venom in leggera

[solar tundra]

Its better than Glue!

[untold wigeon]

I don't

thinking about redux HE

[thorn zealot]

yeah prolly not

[untold wigeon]

but i'm sure HE doesn't need esd film

[thorn zealot]

ima need esd film for my mx kb soon

[untold wigeon]

i bought it because cost only $3

[fringe quarry]

i would love optimum case with center usb

[thorn zealot]

if ups decides to deliver

[untold wigeon]

[fringe quarry]

would be peak design

[untold wigeon]

nah i hate the logo from optimum

[fringe quarry]

dont look on the bottom

[solar tundra]

Should i tape mod my pcb with ur ultras

[fringe quarry]

(lowkey wooting logo also not that pretty)

hope i dont get banned

[agile grove]

BLASPHEMY

[untold wigeon]

ye

[solar tundra]

W is for W, W King

It just reminds you everyday what you are

[solar tundra]

i never used tape mod

[untold wigeon]

erik will be mad at u

wooting logo is from E, Erik

[fringe quarry]

im scared

[untold wigeon]

L toasty

[fringe quarry]

mb

[chilly mural]

I like the crown on the wooting logo

or the W i guess

[untold wigeon]

it's an E

[chilly mural]

Ehh, close enough

Its like the crown dangling rather than on top.

you dont trust this?
/j

why tf is my name glowing

[untold wigeon]

@trail bane since u're a ttc magneto series fanboy

Does the kom and rgb have any difference?

[trail bane]

Idk

I’m kom POM fanboy

Green snks are pretty good(og koms)

[untold wigeon]

bcs some people say that the rgb magnets are similar to pom or such

i forgot

[mossy river]

[untold wigeon]

not available at my local vendor

[mossy river]

theyve also got a small bunch that only come in pre-assembled boards

[untold wigeon]

most probably i will buy one of kom, rgb, or pom

[mossy river]

also wooting

apparently kom rgb's magnet tolerances are the best

hardly matters

[untold wigeon]

pom for full set venom will cost acount $56

[trail bane]

On ali you can find some fine he switch testers

[untold wigeon]

while kom & rgb cost $39

[mossy river]

link?

i have the kprepublic one

[untold wigeon]

will the extra $17 worth it?

[mossy river]

are there any others thatve come out recently?

[untold wigeon]

the pom's are little bit deeper tho

[mossy river]

not that much deeper

it's really up to you

i don't think $17 is worth it to get slightly deeper

[untold wigeon]

heummm

[trail bane]

Yes

Trust me but poms

[untold wigeon]

ngl, if the kom from wlmouse ying75 sells separately

i will buy it

[mossy river]

this really comes down to what YOU value

[untold wigeon]

i might buy the normal kom i guess

[mossy river]

also where are you getting these omega small prices

39 dillar>? where?

[untold wigeon]

local vendors

[mossy river]

usd?

[untold wigeon]

it's not available for international

[untold wigeon]

IDR

Rp 610.000 around 37.21 usd for 65 pcs of kom

not a bad price imo

I only changed the alphas and spacebar for this, i got lazy

gateron speed silver they aight

not really in my favor

same thinkg with the black inks, well idk how black inks would turn out when lubed and filmed but i still think i wouldnt enjoy it as much as the milky yellows

still lean into like cherry type switches or LP switches

[untold wigeon]

just purchased the kom's

not possible to spring swap the kom's right?

[sacred elm]

Not recommended

[untold wigeon]

the spring swap?

[sacred elm]

Yes

[untold wigeon]

alright

i will just stick with what the switches came with

i might relube them

[sacred elm]

You need to do it

They are dry

[cyan lark]

Need is a strong word. Strongly suggested.

[untold wigeon]

almost a $1 / switch but no lube on them?

that's just nonsense

[sacred elm]

Only three dots at the bottom

[cyan lark]

You could pay twice as much to get fluxies.

[untold wigeon]

nah at the end of the day, i will relube them and spring lube

so no worries

venom will arrive on Wednesday, switches will arrive tomorrow

enough time for me to relube while watching conan

[cyan lark]

That's the move, line up some long form content

[cyan lark]

No idea what crunch is

In the context of switch sound

[polar girder]

Whack

More noise = bad

Just smoothness and bottom out and top out. Ideally nicely mute but crisp and clean.

No weird crunch or scratch shit

[untold wigeon]

lube job is included as quality

[polar girder]

I mean if you’re looking at value maybe

But not for just best performing switch as a modder

Like if you’re lazy and consider quality of stock lube job then I understand

But if you want the best switch then no stock lube job will suffice and just lube the damn thing yourself

Paying for or considering convenience and quality of convenience is totally fine

But not relevant when considering best switch

Its like where you crunch chips under your finger for fun

That’s how you wind up snipped

Js

[thorn zealot]

Not shitting u today I dropped my knife and the tip slashed my ankle

[tropic urchin]

Yikes you good?

[thorn zealot]

I’m good it wasn’t deep

[tropic urchin]

I hate the feeling of being cut so that is giga 🥀🥀🥀

[thorn zealot]

It just looked like a boo boo

And a gusher

[tropic urchin]

I hit my middle finger knuckle on my ceiling and scraped it and I wasn’t happy about that

Let alone ankle down

[thorn zealot]

I’ve seen ppl with worse cuts

Saw someone flipping once and the knife flew and cut the inside of their nose

[tropic urchin]

My worst cut was when I was cutting an onion with one of the really sharp knives and nicked the top of my index finger and it wouldn’t stop bleeding

Which prob isn’t even close to a top 10-15 cut but that shit sucked

[thorn zealot]

Yeah I sliced my foot wide open in a public pool by a rock

Looked like a scene from jaws

[tropic urchin]

You emo for that one ong

[thorn zealot]

🥀 💔

Now my foot looks like a border between 2 states

[tropic urchin]

LMAO

WTF

[cyan lark]

Cut half my pinky off

Snapped a swiss army knife closed on it, whoop

Tight spring, that one

[thorn zealot]

Oh we flexing cuts now

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I’m not using mine anymore

🥀

[thorn zealot]

Not very skibidi

[tall hollow]

Oh crud, you good?

[cyan lark]

This was 30 years ago. I'm good.

Reattached and everything.

[tall hollow]

I am lucky to still have all my digits intact lol

I've had a few close calls but nothing super bad

The worst was with the table saw

But the sawstop did its job

[cyan lark]

Thinking of table saw close calls makes my heart skip

Damn, lucky you. Fucking science, bless.

[tall hollow]

Yeah lol

A piece got pinched between the blade and the fence and the piece kicked back and my hand went straight into the blade.

[cyan lark]

I don't wanna play this game anymore.

[fluid ravine]

shi i didn't know we cant get our shit reattached tf

thinking about it, shi starting to makes sense now

[fallen pecan]

X · May 20, 2025, 6:10 AM

Get hyped people

[uneven cradle]

I'm hyped

[stark osprey]

Smol knob on the desk, big knob under it

[little glen]

I think you got the order wrong

[lime yew]

10 small knobs next to each other, all only controlling 10% of volume

[little glen]

Knobkeeb when

[wide turtle]

Hello. If you use the Flux switch daily, have you noticed any QC issues?

[little glen]

Dont use the flux but one issue i have noticed with it is the price

[glacial wind]

lol

[trail bane]

Knobbb

Looks pretty good, like everything from Wooting

[glacial wind]

the question is which day are they planning the stream

[trail bane]

Good question

[chilly mural]

I want one

A couple extra

[trail bane]

Fullknob is new meta

[chilly mural]

I will get 5 knob. 1 for each of my he board including non existent HE numpad, and 1 extra for anybody local to try and 1 other extra for myself.

And 1 big knob cause why not

My only fear is it costing like $10 each

But it's fine

[glacial wind]

someone needs to do the full knob keyboard

it must be done

[uneven cradle]

who needs a midi controller got Wooting

[chilly mural]

For the low low price of $400 or $100 ish with uwu

[prime orbit]

Just curious

What are knobs actually for

Like best use case

[chrome star]

got some owlab ti's and now getting phantom keypresses, any ideas to stop them?

[untold wigeon]

what board

[chrome star]

80he

everything else stock

[untold wigeon]

never happened to me tho

try replugging the keeb

i think because the auto calibration haven't found the neutral position

[marble sierra]

Why do I love the look of this 🤌

[untold wigeon]

i bought that already

still on the way from CN

yj60

[chrome star]

thanks ill replug and see how it goes

[marble sierra]

I'd wanna get some gold flaking in the engraving

Looks Hella clean tho

[untold wigeon]

u can color it by urself

and 1.5 kg case alone

idk if it's true or now

[marble sierra]

I'm getting the owlab but guess I can always buy another 60he 😂

[untold wigeon]

because the case was sent out to me at 2.2kg

[marble sierra]

Have to let us know what it's like when you get it

What colour you go with?

[round sparrow]

Centerpiece ahhh case

[marble sierra]

Yeah I got 2 of them on order 😂 shame we lost the engraving on it

[round sparrow]

You bought a centerpiece?

[marble sierra]

I bought 2

[round sparrow]

Questionable

[marble sierra]

🤣 will never get used but love buying keyboards for display purposes

There's that flux keyboard but highly doubt that's one I'd buy

[fringe quarry]

is that the finalmouse case

[marble sierra]

Finalmouse for Wooting

Finalmouse x Wooting Collab when 🤌

A keyboard and mouse combo

[uneven cradle]

finalmouse has their own keyboard that's been coming out for 3 years

[marble sierra]

Tell me about it

🤣 gonna be a long wait still

[austere creek]

poor soul

is that the centerpiece or centerpiece pro though

[marble sierra]

Centrepiece pro

[uneven cradle]

believe they cancelled the standard one didn't they it's just the HE version now

[marble sierra]

They went back on the OG design with the nice engraving which is a shame tbh

But tbh this Owlab Wooting is gonna be end game when it arrives 🤌

[crimson sky]

because you like tacky shit

[ionic breach]

engraved stuff is nice

esp when it is actually hand graved

but the centerpiece one aint it for me

it just looks wrong and quickly made it looks like what a guy can recall an engraving should look like

i wished they full sent it

but they never improved on it and it looks like they are just pulling it back to look normal again

[glacial wind]

i think they got themselves in a weird spot now with centerpiece because they promised best he performance

and it's taken so long to make it that the top tier he performance has come so far that it's hard for them to match the performance and sound while having switches stuck on top of an lcd screen

[ionic breach]

the centerpiece does have its merits tho

[glacial wind]

i think if they just made an lcd keyboard it could have been cool

[ionic breach]

that screen and transparent keys idea is smt another fundraiser promised and hyped up yea

and that one was a flop

it seems like they are making that thing a reality

[glacial wind]

oh that one is still promising to deliver lol

every month they have a monthly update but no footage of it working while promising delivery is close

[ionic breach]

which is very nice

the og crypto rugpull

[glacial wind]

to be fair i don't think they intended to rugpull, but they got themselves in too deep with no knowledge of how to make that product and don't have the funds to do what they need now

so now feels like they're just aiming to push out a very scuffed keyboard that's kind of similar to what's promised and wash hands of it

they raised such an absurd amount of money at this point lol

[ionic breach]

yea probably crashed by a very optimistic r&d budget

[tidal frigate]

How much finalboy got money from new centerpiece?

[glacial wind]

nah it's likely similar or more

they had the previous most funded kickstarter type keyboard for awhile

and continued taking orders on their site after

it was over $5 million aus and that's before all the website orders that came after

[ionic breach]

if centerpiece went balls deep

but to be fair this is a handgraved on an existing board

but finalmouse has never improved its engraving designs

this is more similar to what they could have done

[chilly mural]

With wooting 60hev2 coming, i don't have much hope for it to be the best gaming keyboard

They can call it the best rgb board though

[round sparrow]

yeah

[marble sierra]

I don't even wanna use the Owlab when it turns up until I got the v2 to put in it 🤣

[chilly mural]

I hope 80he got its own owlab case too

[marble sierra]

Yeah I mainly use my 80he so would love to see that

[round sparrow]

hope they come in different colors

[glacial wind]

At least we know we guessed right on the 80he knob placement

just that it never got done in time

[round sparrow]

yeah i prefer the 1u knobs

[sacred elm]

if you can click + rotate the knob would be dope

then you can use it instead of esc

[round sparrow]

pretty sure u can

[glacial wind]

They said it’s both click and rotate yeah

[sacred elm]

😳

[chilly mural]

Gooning with this

[tidal frigate]

Using knob in racing games

Big one

[tawdry tree]

That is straight up magic.

They might’ve meant just the big one though.

[chilly mural]

Maybe, since you can press 4 keys at once

[sacred elm]

lol imagine that big knob on 60%

[quasi hinge]

The knob

Dreams do come true

Thank you wooting

[tawdry tree]

It would work if they did a 64%. 👀👀

[quasi hinge]

That is a big one lol

[tawdry tree]

would be kinda sick imo

[quasi hinge]

I may buy all 3 and see what is best

[chilly mural]

Knobmaxxing

[sacred elm]

I would get it and replace the esc key

[round sparrow]

i rly hope they release multiple colors

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, on the big one I can understand how it’d be possible but not at all with the small one. Even continuous rotation doesn’t seem feasible on that one.

[chilly mural]

We'll see, maybe there might be some programming magic

[marble sierra]

Interchangeable knob wheel colours so can just buy 1 unit but buy extra outer wheel pieces to change colours... if that is posible I dunno

[quasi hinge]

Im lucky I only use wooting keycaps for the shine through, they match

They might release more depending on the sales

like the straps

[round sparrow]

for the big one i'd hope you can change both colors

the outer ring and the inner circle

[marble sierra]

Yeah but without buying a full new unit

[quasi hinge]

There is 3 right?

Each different size?

[round sparrow]

they look the same

[quasi hinge]

So 2 confirmed then

[quasi hinge]

I dont even use those keys

[sweet oak]

What if i told you it’s crunch magic

[quasi hinge]

I can knob max loool

1 big one and then a small one for pause

[round sparrow]

you could just press the middle part of the big one for pause

[quasi hinge]

True

Ill still get all the knobs and go from there

[chilly mural]

I will add 1 more knob to the card if that's the case

more twisting

[sweet oak]

💸

[quasi hinge]

I hope they are decently priced

But who am I kidding, id pay whatever they ask 🤪

[paper bloom]

Yoo anything else thats new on computex?

[quasi hinge]

I thought I would have to wait for 80he V2 for the knob support

My wooting fan aura grows

[crimson sky]

xm1 4k v2 and a noctua feinmann prototype

all I have seen in regards for peripherals

[paper bloom]

Wat about wooting?

[crimson sky]

don't think so

[ionic breach]

[sacred elm]

Fragrance edition?😳

[sweet oak]

Just like those anime gpus

[sacred elm]

is this fragrance edition?

if not, skip.

[quasi hinge]

Is that a fan in there

[ionic breach]

[quasi hinge]

That will surely help my sweaty hands

[ionic breach]

looks like it

[sacred elm]

wait is that a fan?

[quasi hinge]

I think so haha

I may get that looool

[quasi hinge]

Sweaty hands unite!

[ionic breach]

also i still havent bought a pc

half too busy/lazy
half still stunlocked by motherboards

and the electronics fair is almost here

[paper bloom]

Th?

[quasi hinge]

Better get one soon

I heard TSMC is increasing the price of wafers by at least 10%

And if you are US based, tariff shock will hit by June depending on inventories

[glacial wind]

Oof, I still have to rebuild my computer too

[ionic breach]

yea i will

tho i am now more unsure abt getting the intel b580

[glacial wind]

Least you got your camera before Sony went crazy

Half their lenses in US just went up 30%, no word if they’ll try push prices up in other places too for offsetting new tariff cost further

[fringe quarry]

that does look good

[fringe quarry]

first mouse to sell 0 times

[glacial wind]

I wonder what the noctua tax on it would be

[fringe quarry]

gotta be 200+

[glacial wind]

I remember that noctua psu they released last year from seasonic was like $1000 lol

[chilly mural]

pain

[fringe quarry]

who even hears a psu lol

[glacial wind]

Very cool but I’m definitely not paying $1k for a psu

[quasi hinge]

Yeah, I am hearing companies will likely raise prices for everyone around the world to capture the lost revenue from the tariff situation

It will vary and will be done company by company, so who knows

[sweet oak]

Ok but what if theres a sony lens in it

[glacial wind]

Then you’d be a fool to not buy. That’s 1 plus 1 special

[quasi hinge]

You will need a case with a window for the PSU so you can watch the electrons power your rig lol

[sweet oak]

Luckily i got that

[quasi hinge]

[glacial wind]

Forget the knob, we want photos of the baggage tag

[lime yew]

White 60 strap 😉

[ionic breach]

for the black case as well?

[tidal frigate]

Well it is wooting employees exclusive

[lime yew]

Naaa, buy black 60HE v2 get black and yellow strap. Buy white get white and yellow

[glacial wind]

Everyone knows white be the correct choice

[storm axle]

how do I expedite the creation of this lol

[sacred elm]

what about silver?

[ionic breach]

white probably

like 80he

[tidal frigate]

can we know how spinny is knob?

[wide turtle]

Hey bro @sacred elm , is there any issue with typing or performance on the WS flux besides the QC issue?

[sacred elm]

There are magnet issues, but on wooting I havent noticed anything. On other boards, they dont work properly.

Wooting calibration

[wide turtle]

Even on zinc no issue?

reminds me of the 1 kid who actually got all wooting employees signatures during the wootup v3 from all at the time employed people

[tidal frigate]

would the knobs have magnets that move up and down inside r smth

as you twist it

also will they have any tactility

like a screw

[peak breach]

Wooting definitely should collab with a case company to release a different 80 case, cause the zinc cases from wooting are not it

[little glen]

There are 3 after market cases already

[peak breach]

Yes but no wooting collab

[peak breach]

Gt80, bone80 and?

[languid kestrel]

cope80

[ionic breach]

that one taobao case no one remembers the name on

with the math signs

im assuming he actually meant holy80 but that aint out

[sacred elm]

holy80

[peak breach]

holy not out

[sweet oak]

Crunch80

[austere creek]

so what i heard is owlab80 case

[tropic urchin]

Is that going to be $800

[austere creek]

im just not entirely sure why the collab is needed for a case to be a valid option for someone

[copper breach]

what are some other wooting 80he cases not kdb fans or wooting?

[sacred elm]

aim bone80

[copper breach]

thanks

[wide turtle]

Hello again bro @sacred elm . 100% Sure no issue on zinc? maybe I will buy the flux if there's no issue

[sacred elm]

As I said, I havent noticed any issues on wooting, but I wouldnt recommend buying them for that price. Maybe get them after Wuque fixes existing issues.

[tidal frigate]

I already know about it from mansen. "It will be a thing if ow60 goes well"

[polar girder]

See, the issue with Flux is that they aren’t TTC KoM POM

[stray tiger]

There isn't a situation where Id buy them over the TI's the Tikken's or a few other switches.

[sacred elm]

Yeah, they are very overpriced

[polar girder]

Tikkens aren’t out for like 3-6 months lol

[sacred elm]

But I like how they feel

[stray tiger]

Worth the wait!

[polar girder]

4.0mm too much range

Need 2.5mm

[high lion]

what profile are the leopold keycaps

[trail bane]

Ig cherry

[peak breach]

Well you could release another in house case for the 80 but seeing the problems with the zinc case collabing with a company that has more experience with it is probably for the best

[trail bane]

$259 ying75

[polar girder]

anyone keeping tabs on Thermal V2?

[tropic urchin]

PCB calibration is all that matters, case won’t affect it

It’ll only affect the sound profile maybe making it a little deeper vs other cases (GT80, PCR etc)

If anything if you want to mod it, it’ll make it more annoying with case bottom screws, but I wouldn’t recommend removing them (fluxes) without stripping it down to the switch plate or you’ll break the legs off them

[copper breach]

yeh i agree

[round sparrow]

Damn my ow60 still says ready for packing, soonest arrival beeing the 24th

[wide turtle]

Thanks guys for the reply 🙂

[copper breach]

idk

u happy?

[prisma vine]

Hi, I got my wooting module. I just wanted to ask that should I use the included foam between the pcb or the silicone that comes pre-installed? I want more of a thoccy sound profile.

[chilly mural]

huh, with FN lock you can technically have a profile within a profile. Not sure if cause issue though

[peak breach]

If u want toccy throw the wooting out the window and get a mx board

[little glen]

If you want deeper sound use foam

[prisma vine]

🫡

[prisma vine]

okay

[untold wigeon]

deeper sound profile use foam,
higher pitched sound profile use silicone..
thocky in HE won't be achievable easily, the closest switch to thock is ice ultra

[prisma vine]

okay thank you

[prisma vine]

yes I did get ice ultras and owlabs

[untold wigeon]

if owlabs,
i prefer the silicone to make it higher pitch (just preference)

and ice ultras silicone

would be lovely for me

[prisma vine]

okay I'll give that a go too

[untold wigeon]

just find ur sweet spot

[prisma vine]

I am also gonna test with gateron jade's

for that should I use silicone or foam?

[untold wigeon]

ah get that shit out of ur life

[prisma vine]

😭🫡

[untold wigeon]

this is preference

[prisma vine]

just gonna test my guy

[untold wigeon]

i prefer foam on jade pros

bcs of the weird plastic sound on it

Try both

See whatchu like
