The knobber wizard 👀

pretty sure it was a group effort

so the entire company i guess

I tried to find something like it but it doesn’t seem like it has ever been done before. Even in just the rotary encoder space.

Revolutionary in both the keyboard and the knob space. 🤯

Introducing the SmartKnob View: an open-source input device with software-configurable endstops, virtual detents, haptic touch feedback, and a round LCD.

Since you can't feel the detents through the video, make sure to turn up the volume so you can at least hear them, particularly the fine-grained detents toward the end of the video.

A brushle...

Polar75 keycaps is cool i need them or something like that

wanted to make one for ages but just never found the time and resources to

austere creek
#

na there is people out there selling them preassembled for 150-200bucks

but usually sold out

trail bane
tawdry tree
#

not the haptic feedback

#

just encoding

austere creek
#

depends. you can rotary encode continuously with 1 sensor already

#

just... look at mice

#

i think the main issue is that most of the time it has no nice application or requires special slots/extension ports

wide turtle

$1/switch for ws flux worth it?

#

i actually am unsure how special the sensors are

#

but should be easy to just turn a mouse wheel thing sideways and stick a knob on it

anyone knows how to fix or what may be the cause of ticking sound on one side of spacebar? lubed and tuned the cherry screw ins already. it only ticks on a specific keycap (keycap1). when I replace with other keycaps (keycaps 2 & 3), it doesn't tick. But when I used keycap1 on other KB, it also doesn't tick.

Hmm, still don't understand the goodness of less wobble switch. I like how tee hee sound tho.

I like their sound over POMs, but if I have significant issues, I wont feel bad about these being my 60% board switches

Is it hard to implement as gamepad mode?

stray tiger
stray tiger

Gamepad mode isn't hard to implement, they just have no competence because they don't make their own firmware

tidal frigate
glossy pagoda
#

Which is precisely the reason they will be incapable of matching our knob implementation.

tropic urchin

When they replicate the hardware, they will take shortcuts and their firmware will still be crap

Hey i got a question for you guys!

what would you say is the thockiest sounding switch's for the 80HE Ghost plastic case?

chilly mural
#

Or hungry for moneh

glossy pagoda
#

A new pcba doesn't change the need to interpret the signal from the sensor

#

But a basic hardware imitation, with a rudimentary firmware implementation, and a half baked software integration is enough for them to release something

i think it was 5-10 years ago I had trouble getting any mexican food in singapore, but now you have guzman y gomez and other chains from australia at least - not S tier but decent

It easy to do

we have like a very tame one called stuffd and guzman y gozmez which is like non singaporean costs

yeah stuffd is australian too i'm pretty sure lol

#

50 to 300 is like half of everyone else

ionic breach
#

wooting handles 300 tho iir?lc

idle shadow
#

The funniest part is that the stem is smaller, which might make different sound compared to those meg switches.

glacial wind
#

Is that within range for most boards?

#

I don’t think I’ve seen 50 starting flux before

sacred elm
#

I think that magnetic flux is bs

idle shadow
ionic breach
#

oh really?

#

i do remember one popular switch that is in that range tho

glacial wind
#

most switches these days are in that 600-700 range

idle shadow
#

I got one on it with UwU. And it shows 3.2 mm when pressing down entirely.

glacial wind
#

yeah it’s about half or less than half of the typical magnetic range of other switches

idle shadow
#

But the sound is pretty good. Just hope that those switches could be compatible with the 60HE v2 pcb. 😦

glacial wind
#

Wooting might maybe be able to autocalibrate after it gets used to the switch but it’s definitely going to be confused at first

#

That’s a big difference for it to try calibrating out of the norm

idle shadow
#

I tried replug it and it don't work.

sacred elm
glacial wind
#

Don’t replug, try using the switch for a bit then retest then without replug

#

Like play some games etc then test it again using the analog tester and see

all of them are 'fast' at this point

problem is their firmware as always

it hasn't been about being faster or same as wooting for like 2 generations now since everyone has the same or good enough hardware for 8k/8k

they need to hire and commit to actual long term software dev which none of them want to do to get the good firmware part

I think the problem is that there doesn't seems to be a lot of people that value good firmware. They just see fast/better than wooting and think it's good enough so they just keep buying this.

#

Kinda like Steamdeck vs other handheld. While Valve trying to improve the software, other company just do iteration of the previous version with better spec. At least valve will make SteamOS available to those.

glacial wind
#

well it's different markets really

#

these brands cator to the tiktok kids who just want something that works, but the problem is usually if they try to price at wooting level then their customers start getting annoyed

#

like the whole drunkdeer meltdown going on right now because their new boards are within wooting price range but have had massive issues

#

at $50-100 you can get away with it, but the moment you start doing $200 boards you better be giving $200 level firmware

chilly mural
#

Lmao. Make sense. I mean, most people that buys cheaper board are prop young or poor.

#

I buy something cheap too rather than wooting even if I wish for wooting if I'm 12. That's lit my first keeb experience, wanting keyboard with cherry switches but instead go for an Oem with gateron.

Do you mean spacebar foam?

obtuse musk

Like in this for example

The tape he uses looks like mounting tape to me

flat cobalt

I just use foam

glacial wind
#

you can put anything you want in spacebar, most folks just use spacebar foam since it's like $3

cyan lark
#

Does to me too 🤷 never heard of this instead of foam. I imagine it would add mass but wouldn't dampen, rather reflect, sound.

#

Probably not far off from foam for just removing rattle/hollowness

obtuse musk
#

What is the spacebar foam exactly?

cyan lark
#

I use that high density automotive stuff

#

It's foam that goes in the spacebar

glacial wind

it's just precut, sticky taped foam that goes into your spacebar

Can also get some automotive sound insulation foam and cut it, depends on what's most available/cheapest for you.

I’ll see if I can find some foam like that

#

I’d rather just buy it from department store and cut it rather than ordering separately

Oh oh I found some thick double sided foam tape

cyan lark
obtuse musk
#

I yea I know but there’s no one sided option

#

I can leave the cover on or put a piece of paper on or something

But yea this is like poron-style foam in tape form so it should do nicely

But yeah spacebar foam is what i use

# fluid ravine What's the intentions

Getting rid of the layer of dust build up on keycaps, the one that sticks even after using brush+dust blower. Which im assuming is dead skin? They make the cosmos look extra dusty dogekek

Im obv aware of removing the keycaps and washing them, which i aint doing with the cosmos

anyone here familiar with switches? I am currently using the jade gaterons but got gifted the ttc pom's. would these be better to use for fps games(CS/valorant) or are they more stiff? which is usually better preferred for gaming

TTC is more stable (less wobble) but otherwise it's really down to what you like.

oh okay, yea i noticed the ttc feel a bit more firm, maybe feel a little more resistance but fast.. if that makes sense
