sometimes the rest moves

[cyan lark]

Ah yeah that'd do it. My desk is smooth and the Wooting rests grip them better than any rest I've ever used.

[tulip rapids]

maybe if i switch the razer mouse matt it will be different

time to buy new matt

[mossy river]

werent the original ttc kom rgbs the most stable anyway

[ripe void]

Anyone used theses ?

[snow yarrow]

Theyre good, but ttc sneks have the most stable magnets afaik

[wispy vine]

Noob question but how/where would I look to find keyboards that use 1.5u alt? I have a keycap set I love but I cant use some novelty caps from the set because they are a bit too big for my 60he

[thorn zealot]

u can look at the venom60he and get the 7u layout

just know that it has like no warranty

[untold wigeon]

it has a warranty when the package arrives already

[wispy vine]

I'll take a look at that thanks

[untold wigeon]

before building the keeb the warranty is still active, and u have to test it first before building it

after u put stabs = warranty gone already

[thorn zealot]

wouldve been good to know when i got mine

but its fine

[untold wigeon]

nah, it's normal for a custom oriented pcb

enjoying the board is the key to happiness

venom is a good solo board if u don't use multiple OS systems

[wispy vine]

While I'm here I have one more question, I have jade max switches in my board and the D key became rather clacky so I swapped it with a spare. Is this something normal that can happen?

[untold wigeon]

i heard that jade max has those kinds of issues

[wispy vine]

hmm ok good thing I have the spares then. Hopefully more don't start doing the same thing.

[tulip rapids]

keybay.tech is the canadian goat

@marsh saffron i appreciate you recommending him hes a G (sorry for ping)

[south flicker]

Anyone tried these switches?

[kindred lagoon]

quite nice, though the spacebar had a noticeable bounce on the upstroke... in this recording the spacebar's a geon raw

(keycaps here were MTNU Dolch, btw)

if i swapped the spring to something heavier then the bounce would disappear i'd wager

I feel like once again i'm seeing outemu being largely overlooked and that's a shame because i have yet to be dissatisfied by any of their new switches

[trail bane]

They’re not bad

But

[visual ore]

I think they were the premium choice until the POMs were released

Nowadays I have no clue as I haven't been keeping track.

[glacial wind]

Stability wise poms/rgb still king

Nothing else has been able to beat them so far in just raw gauss/flux test, even among the new ‘super stable at 0.005’ switches

has been a surprisingly long time at the top for switch lifespan actually

[chilly mural]

The "being in wooting store" buff

[marsh saffron]

For real, and don't worry about pings I won't ever see a message otherwise

Keybay and potentgaming

Potent gaming the goats for stocking artisans locally

[next moat]

hi fish

[uneven cradle]

Hey look a metal artisan for Rubrehose Jane buyers due to delays with expected delivery in July now

[glacial wind]

it's just a measurement, not an actual switch

[uneven cradle]

You don't, but you could join a plate run and get a custom one cut

Not sure about your region but some of my local stores do runs

Keebzncables and Cafege

lol these stems are something else

[tropic urchin]

wtf

those arent box stems those are tables

[sacred elm]

Just make sure you get the file from kbdfans for the case though if they have it

[uneven cradle]

I do not sorry

[sweet oak]

They should make poms more lubed

[fluid ravine]

They better call them Quartz

[stray tiger]

Don't show this to @polar girder

[sacred elm]

lol, I think he saw this switch couple days ago

[mossy river]

everglide 悟空 or durock ROCK HE

seem cool

[marsh saffron]

Tee hee >>>

[stray tiger]

I think someone else said the durocks were mid. Like 2-3 days ago

[mossy river]

i need to get my hands on the vter(e) magnetic switrches

those are really fucking nice

if you have a taobao account

[stray tiger]

I do but I havent bought anything from China since the tariff changed because its been killing my wallet. Just paid $190 to get 2 boards back from Canada...

[mossy river]

joy joy joy

they nuked all the listings that were selling direct from china on aliexpress so i cant get them through there

[ripe void]

They gna make a standalone unit for the knob ?

[tidal frigate]

They are making one

[mental salmon]

Hey Father, was not the tariffs going to be paused for 90 days? The information changes every day, but that was my understanding

[granite comet]

thought they where located in pingapore

[polar girder]

lol looks promising

[stray tiger]

There is still a 10% base tariff in place and then some China specific stuff and IEEPA tariffs for the materials. So an aluminum keyboard for example would still have like 45% tariffs

[uneven cradle]

Can confirm

Might as well be another country with how far they are from the rest of Australia

[tropic urchin]

my benom had a 45% tariff on it that made me wanna cry a little

tuff keeb market rn

[sacred elm]

Clean...

[untold wigeon]

can someone help?

my spacebar is rattly and double clicking

it doesnt look like theres anything wrong with the stabilizers

theres nothing wrong with the switch itself i just checked

[untold wigeon]

CLEAN

Ronin keycaps need to ship from Banada 🥀

[sweet oak]

Crunch 🌹

[untold wigeon]

i put some lube on the stabilizers and it was fixed thanks

[stray tiger]

Ok I think I am now officially done buying GMK sets. At least for the remainder of the year and maybe next.

[sweet oak]

time to do rapid buy of switches

[fluid ravine]

I'M NOTTTT

I NEEEEEDMORE

[stray tiger]

I'm the last person to say you shouldn't buy more lol. I'm just saying that for me, I have a set for pretty much any color way now. The last 2 sets I wanted I just bought and bought one more as a just in case. I can't see myself needing anything else.

[fluid ravine]

I mean yeah you're lowkey stacked af
All sorts of keycal themes and what not

But there's always a desire to have more

I still need black on l9 tho so

[stray tiger]

I'm sure if you keep an eye on mechmarket or the mech sales discord someone will sell that alpha kit at some point.

[sweet oak]

i just need more switches to eat

and to make crunch

[fluid ravine]

Alr

[stray tiger]

I should caveat what I said earlier as I "might" consider picking up Black Snail Red Cyrillic when Geon drops it to see how it would look with the dark OW60. But otherwise no other sets!

[sweet oak]

the cycle continues

"just this one last set"

[stray tiger]

This is how you know I'm old. My baby pics are black and white

[uneven cradle]

I'm sure there are kids with this nowadays because it's aesthetic

[stray tiger]

You're probably right haha

[uneven cradle]

Arr

[sweet oak]

gotta teach em when theyre young

[untold wigeon]

they have diff stability?

just knew about it

[glacial wind]

Rgb and pom are different to the og kom

They’re a tiny bit more stable, not that it matters at those levels but yeah

[tropic urchin]

Same

[fluid ravine]

Wait Pops

If you do can you order me a set as well?

Wait is it gonna be like $44? Or smth

If so then can you order me a set and hold onto it till I come back?

[stray tiger]

Who knows, I don't think pricing has been announced. Last I heard was that IC was over, so Im sure pre-orders will be next

[fluid ravine]

Ok

[stray tiger]

#750758780010102944 message

[untold wigeon]

just knew about it ngl

thanks for the info

idk if it's me only or other might be the same, but i prefer OG kom rather than pom on my setup

setup & preference effect some things

don't judge me

i feel something weird on pom,
and now i use my pom's on 60he with a fr4 plate...
and OG kom's on 80he with stock plate

[untold wigeon]

ngl i really want the black kom

[tropic urchin]

Cosmos switches 🔥

[untold wigeon]

[tropic urchin]

We have the complete set now!

[sweet oak]

COSMO

[stray tiger]

Who was it that said they were going to pair GMK Redline with the black OW60? I just noticed they have that combo on the Owlab's IG

It was this guy

[polar girder]

nah brah. gotta hit that "end game" and chill

or maybe mid-game lol

[polar girder]

https://tenor.com/view/what-is-that-phillybeatzu-tell-me-what-that-is-im-curious-of-what-it-is-gif-26049182

[sacred elm]

Jade Pro recolor 😃👍

[tawdry tree]

Jade Ruby* 😃👍

[steel ibex]

my end game would be a high hz 1440p and low hz 4k on a 27" panel (woled)

[stray tiger]

Since that's not possible (1440p and 4K don't align) you'll have to wait on a high hz 1440p and low hz 5K OLED.

[polar girder]

I just want 24.5” 1440p 1000hz with BFI

[polar girder]

God damnitt lol

Ofc

[chilly mural]

32 inch, 1000khz, ips, 1440p

[steel ibex]

ok yea 5k sorry

[harsh dove]

Like me

[chilly mural]

60hz is all I need

[stray tiger]

https://youtu.be/9Of0jbmJGj8

[harsh dove]

Chillin with my Protagonist, Venom60, and Wooting60+

and 80HE

[chilly mural]

Damn, my wish is half answered

[harsh dove]

610 is such a random number

[chilly mural]

Doesn't matter

If it can do 120 it's good enough to me

[harsh dove]

It matters more than you think

Can't even see less than 609Hz

[languid kestrel]

it's not any more random than any other number

[stray tiger]

The other half would be a GPU that can do 600fps at 1440p

[harsh dove]

At least others normally go in increments of 60

[chilly mural]

No, I play rhythm game and I can hit 700fps without any dip

[harsh dove]

60hz, 120hz, 180hz, 240hz, 300hz, 360hz etc

[chilly mural]

So my setup is already pretty much ready for this monitor

The other half is actually money

Poor

[languid kestrel]

but then there was 144hz and 165hz too

[harsh dove]

and 175

lol

[languid kestrel]

yeah so I guess it doesn't really matter

[harsh dove]

Nah

Unless OCD

[languid kestrel]

one would have to have a hell of an ocd for their monitor refresh rate to have to be divisible by 6

[harsh dove]

[steel ibex]

imagine running helldivers at 600 fps on a 500hz oled

[prime gate]

So do u suggest a 500hz or not on 1440p?

I have Rog 4090 OC

[dire delta]

Had two 360Hz back then IPS and TN with DyAC. Switched last year to WOLED 480Hz 1440p.
Best decision ever even though it uses DSC...

[trail bane]

No holy80 today🥀

[steel ibex]

I suggest a 480hz oled as of now

if you play games like me (mostly competitive esports)

if not and you work then id get a duel mode oled

could also wait for 500 hz oleds

[solar tundra]

I rly wanna try OLED but im way too much in love with my Zowie Monitor😔

[steel ibex]

the 60hz you lose is worth the better colors and motion clarity

[solar tundra]

I play since 8 Years on a Zowie Monitor, upgraded last year to EX270QM, the Color Options, Black Equalizer it just looks so good😭

[steel ibex]

i gamed on a va 144hz with my first pc

swapped to 480hz oled now cant go back

[little glen]

I gamed on a 4:3 tn 60hz panel with like 5ms+ latency on my first pc

[solar tundra]

I mean i never saw all the Color Options and Stuff you can change on OLED

But my next Monitor def should have 480hz 1440p

[steel ibex]

gamed on a random 60hz monitor with a ton of delay on my first setup

[solar tundra]

Which Monitor you got?

[steel ibex]

rn?

27GX790A-B

im probably gonan return it and go to the asus oled since i prefer the look

[little glen]

Yall esports gamers need to take a break

I dont think any game i play can hit fps even close to that

[solar tundra]

Valorant easy

[little glen]

Your games are too optimized

[solar tundra]

I get 500+fps in Valo

[steel ibex]

i hit 600 fps ez on valorant

every single map

[languid kestrel]

played on TN 1080p/144hz until someone sold me an IPS 1440p/144hz like 4 years ago and I'm still on that

[solar tundra]

Yeah def

[languid kestrel]

monitors are like 1000€ so I'm not gonna buy a new one for a while I don't think

[solar tundra]

With Frame Generation and another Setting i played MH with Settings on high on 400+fps

Or Ultra i dont remember

[solar tundra]

Yeah thats def too expensive for me too

[little glen]

Frame gen

[solar tundra]

Yeah

[little glen]

So you played it with 100 fps

[solar tundra]

i think it was that

No was like 160 and with all that 400+fps

Ayee my UR Ice Switches arrive today

[prime gate]

I wanna try new qdoled 500hz from asus , it will be release on June or July

[chilly mural]

holy

[near barn]

anybody know if 'initial magnetic flux' matters and if so, could possibly explain it like i'm a 5th grader

[trail bane]

Damn

Biggest scam ever

I hope this is not final price

185 dollars even without plate and shipping is crazy

Gt-80 cost 120usd

[glossy pagoda]

The holes in your case will match the holes in your wallet

[fluid ravine]

The fuck

[chilly mural]

it's fine, just buy another wallet

[fluid ravine]

Very unholy price

[fluid ravine]

What's that

[fallen pecan]

i believe some tariffs still apply to an alu keyboard case

[small hemlock]

it cost money for the CNC machine to make the holes

the holy60 is like 120 for just the case and uses simple tray mount

so you make it larger, more holes, then switch it to the bette top mount, yeah the price will go up

[small hemlock]

yeah man that case is easier to get made than a case with a bunch of holes in it

like look at the tofu60

cheap as shit

unless they figure out a way to machine it cheaper, its not going to be unless the price of alu goes down a lot

its just a lot of time on the CNC machine and time = money for a manufacturer

honestly im not shocked given the price gap between the tofu redux and the holy60

[ruby hill]

Tofu TKL is coming but not for 80he

[trail bane]

Gt-60 114usd
Holy60 120usd

Fair enough

CNC machine = 6 usd
Well well well

[glossy pagoda]

Different companies have different pricing strategies

[small hemlock]

yeah gt-60 has more design, brass, wood, extra mounting method

things add up

like i only know because ive had custom made boards done at smaller scale and so i know how much some of these good shops (not talking vendors, i mean the places with the machines) charge for 1 unit, 5 units, 50, ect ect

and at the end of the day, companies have bills to pay and people to pay salaries to

[chilly mural]

also prop produced less since I don't think a lot of 80he owner will get it, and there's not a lot of 80he user generally compared to GH60 compatible PCB.

[small hemlock]

yeah the other sad reality, custom keyboards are still a minority thing

if this was covid plus the modern machine knowledge they have now and experience, then yeah we could probably see lower costs with a group buy, but now of days people hate to hear that word and so there is a cost for bringing this shit to instock and hoping some people will buy

[drowsy relic]

Are there any metal cases for the wooting two HE out there? Still debating to get one, though I'm a bit put off because initially I wanted a full size low profile HE keyboard but apparently it doesn't exist, so this would be a trade-off

[small hemlock]

yeah but to do that, they need it to be popular and idk, i dont think the 80 is that popular since wooting made the stupid layout choice

if it was a normal tkl, whole different story

gh60 layout is too OP

[trail bane]

Fuck this i’m still buying holy80

[small hemlock]

no wau

you got them WS switches

like i threw money away at zeal switches back in the day, and i cant see myself doing even over 50 cents a switch on any modern stuff tbh

[chilly mural]

But you got a nice flushed location for a knob

[small hemlock]

but i just use my FN key to adjust volume tho

[glossy pagoda]

Unfortunately not 😦

[ruby hill]

80he + separate numpad
Problem solved

[chilly mural]

but numpad needs to have Wooting's touch

[drowsy relic]

Separate numpad is always such a cheesy and stupid solution, I guess maybe for the people that don't need it

[chilly mural]

Actually, get a numpad, send it along with a postcard requesting any woot's staff to touch it. There, numpad with woot's touch.

[drowsy relic]

But im using it for work and gaming pretty much daily :/

[drowsy relic]

Conveniently just found one used for 110€, so I just bought it because it's not too much

Just still wish there was a metal case for it. I like the way the keys are not sunk into the case itself like most "trendy" ugly af custom keyboards are

[balmy salmon]

Module just arrived and I bought some Ice Sakura switches to pair with it, but I don't want to mess up the switch orientation. Mind if anyone is kind enough to point out which side is up to install?

[sacred elm]

that is correct side

[balmy salmon]

So just like this face up to clarify right?

[sacred elm]

Yes, RGB window should be up

[balmy salmon]

Thank you!

[dire delta]

Should I place TTC KOM POM south faced when using GMK?
Any one knows if there is interference?

[sacred elm]

Both south and north work on wooting, if you want RGB then north

[dire delta]

Aight thank you

[chilly mural]

hmm, $950, dual move 4k 240hz, and 1080p 480p... Seems perfect to me.

[glacial wind]

it's always been a niche thing with very mixed feelings from community

some folks love the look, some hate it, most don't love the sound

it's a very unique case i'll give them that

[solar tundra]

How you Guys clean ur Keycaps? Bit of Handwarm Water and Dish Soap?

[high sphinx]

@sacred elm hey does the wl mouse beast x pro ever get any updates i havent got any update since i got it

[sacred elm]

Not yet

[high sphinx]

oh ok ty

[glacial wind]

wl mouse be not the quickest with software stuff

[ruby hill]

Buy a nice numpad will not feels cheesy and stupid
Like volt plus+

[drowsy relic]

What is volt plus+

Ah found it and its ridiculous price

[ruby hill]

or 8bitdo pad, actually built-in a calculator mode

[drowsy relic]

Im sorry but these are some of the most hideous looking pieces of tech I have seen so far with keyboards and everything

[high sphinx]

oh ok i see i was just wondering

[peak breach]

It was indeed me

Looks rly good ngl

Sadly i do not have the matching wlmouse

[fallen pecan]

Maybe the panda20

[ruby hill]

Still better than a 100%
Interact the mouse area

Separate numpad can just put on left hand side when gaming

[glacial wind]

looks like a hyper budget zoompad

[fallen pecan]

25 bucks if you bring your own switches and caps

30 all in

[kindred lagoon]

Anyone tried one of the alternative mounting plates for the 80HE? Looking to get an FR4 one.

[trail bane]

Fr4 is peak

[sacred elm]

Theres polling rate bug for like 2 months already, everything except 8k is not stable👎

[kindred lagoon]

I've had very nice results with it on other boards. :)

[trail bane]

Also, fr4 with POMs is one of the best combos for 80he

One of, not the best

[kindred lagoon]

Ah, here we are.

[sacred elm]

Buy one without flex cuts

[kindred lagoon]

There is in fact a seller that offers some without the cuts. Neat.

[uneven cradle]

They gotta figure out how to differentiate colours first

[glacial wind]

i still laugh that their reaction to sending the wrong mouse 2 times wasn't to immediate apologise and send the right mouse but to say that sucks then nothing further unless I asked

[drowsy relic]

I have played with a 100% all my life, tried out TKL once for 3 months over a year ago and then got rid of it.
I cannot fathom how anyone needs that space they get from not including a numpad, those teensy tiny ~13cm. But I guess if you really never need the numpad it's an option.
But putting the numpad aside would take away more space from the desk than just having a full size keyboard

||Fun fact, between my usual mouse resting area and my full size keyboard are roughly 20-30cm of free space, if you remind me in 4 hours I can take a picture||

[median fog]

but then you definitely don't have it centered on homerow? so are you typing homerow skewed or not homerow.
I also think many of those that want separate numpad would like to place it on the left instead.

[drowsy relic]

Not home yet, but I can take a picture later on if anyone reminds me

[drowsy relic]

I don't quite know what this means since my native language is german

[glacial wind]

some fps players don't shift their keyboard left that much, so they need the extra room

[median fog]

homerow typing position is best with kb being centered on yourself at G | H. but I guess you don't type this 'superior' way.

[sacred elm]

I mean you can get 2HE but everything about it is just outdated imo, better to just get 80he and numpad

[drowsy relic]

If I had to guess the keyboard is centered on J/K but not quite sure rn

[sacred elm]

@glacial wind wake up, new episode of tastefully yours dropped

[drowsy relic]

But why though? Do they have 90 degree fingers? I've seen some wonky stuff where they turn the keyboard, but that again makes more room than to take away some

[glacial wind]

you're late, it came out 19 hours ago

the next episode comes out in 5ish hours

[sacred elm]

💔

[glacial wind]

because a lot of people aren't using keyboard ergonomically

[median fog]

but I guess numpad is design more to be better used with right hand right. and also some muscle memory issues probably.

[median fog]

like using right thumb on 0, and pinky on enter and +. Can't really use left thumb on + I think, and worse to use pinky on 0.

[drowsy relic]

Numpad on the left would help with work, but for gaming left is nicer. Also yeah, muscle memory is one hell of a drug

[median fog]

So Wooting must do 2 numpad versions, 1 mirrored for usage with left hand.

[little glen]

Numpad on left is called southpaw

[median fog]

yeah wooting for sure needs to do this then.

[drowsy relic]

Wooting needs to do a Two HE v2 🥺

[glossy pagoda]

Amen

Full size best size

[sacred elm]

UwU best size

[tropic urchin]

Tastefully yours is tastefully late

[safe stag]

Long pole sold out

[harsh forum]

asking the wooting team about the Two HE. Are there any aluminum bases for it? If not, I wonder if the team could share a design file with just the screw positions and the board external profile so it would be easy to design and machine one

[trail bane]

Already shared

[harsh forum]

oh really?

where?

because I LOVE my twoHE to death but an aluminum base with thick bezels would make it so much better

[ocean thorn]

Hi I’m new in the Mooding world and after my Apex pro TLK have break 2 time in 2 years I’m want to buy Wooting 80EH so I have a question about Switch
TTTC KOM RGB and TTC Magneto RGB are the same ?
And what’s is the best lienar(L60)V2 or TTC KOM RGB/Magneto RGB ?
I don’t play any SHOOTER game like CS or fornite
I’m playing more mmo , game like fallout , doom , COD(solo) etc
Thx for any help from the community

[little glen]

TTC kom rgb is better than lekker v2 generally

The question tho is whether it makes sense for you

If you dont play super competitive games

I would recommend owlabs ti he switches instead

They are very good and much cheaper than ttc kom rgb

[glacial wind]

ttc kom rgb and pom is just one is fully see through and one isn't

[ocean thorn]

They are all ready lubed ?

[glacial wind]

so slightly different materials but the rest is the same

[little glen]

Yes

Owlabs ti he are pre lubed

Better than ttc

[ocean thorn]

Ok thx for the help Sir

[ocean thorn]

Thx for your answer 👍

[winter moss]

same for the 60he?

[languid pine]

On the ow60 is it known what the difference is between the ansi and iso option for the case?

[tawdry tree]

plate 👍

[languid pine]

Oh yeah doy

I got the ansi version but found out the set of caps i got for it also included uk iso so i was facepalming for a bit but the iso enter looks a bit weird on a 60%

[ruby hill]

If you need numpad
Just get a separate numpad
You can put on right hand side for working and left hand side for gaming

[drowsy relic]

It's K | L

[drowsy relic]

Look how much space I have, what do you all need it for?

[fallen pecan]

i'm guessing you've never smacked your mouse on the side of your board before

[drowsy relic]

No, should I?

[low coral]

It only happens to me when I play FPS due to low dpi

Everything else never happened to me either

[ruby hill]

I don’t thing that is much space
It should require high dpi to avoid interact the keyboard

[fallen pecan]

you shouldn't, it's just a normal thing for the target audience of the 60he

tiny keyboard, huge mousepad

[drowsy relic]

according to Logitech GHub I am at 1800 dpi

you have a subscription mouse ? (just messing with Ya)

[ruby hill]

That’s why you feel okay with it
Many fps players tend to use a dpi below 1000

[high nymph]

not so much nowadays. mice sensors have come a long way. it is preferible to have higher native resolution and lower eDPI

I run 1600 dpi native

and cut my eDPI in half

in-game

[tranquil iris]

Is the TTC KOM POM better then the OWLab Ti in terms of quality (I mean they are almost twice the price so should be?) like smoothness, lube

[high nymph]

folks say factory lube job sucks (TTC)

[snow yarrow]

Soo uuuh, any news on fully black pom switches yet?

A man needs them

[tranquil iris]

Im still very indecisive of what switches I should use (force etc.) I ordered Owlab Ti's 10p of 40G and 50G, literally last thing I need. Thanks tho thats good to know

[high nymph]

can't you wait? I am waiting for the Tikkers. but personally I hate any HE switch that is not full travel

[tranquil iris]

hmm they release after summer right ?

[high nymph]

what is your use case for the keyboard?
Tikkers release in Q4 yes

[tranquil iris]

I bought a GT-80 and the 80He module

I use a Gen 1 Apex Pro for 5 years now

[high nymph]

do you use the analog function much?

[tranquil iris]

on my apex atleast I play with 0.2mm and the equivalent of rapid trigger

[high nymph]

As analog I meant as a game controller? with action curve?

[tranquil iris]

no I dont think so

you mean like that you can slowly increase you speed and its not on/off

[high nymph]

yes

If you do, I suggest Lekker v2 or Raptor HE (raptors have a red diffuser, bear in mind)

[tranquil iris]

no I dont use it idk if I can even use it on my current board, I didnt get to use my 80he yet

[high nymph]

of course you can

[tranquil iris]

they need the full 4mm right ?

analog needs*

[high nymph]

those switches are 4mm

its not a requirement, but will less travel switches you lose resolution

all hype switches currently are either 3,4 or 3,5 mm in actuation. so you lose some resolution

[tranquil iris]

doesnt less travel offer better rebound or only the spring matters

[high nymph]

no, only the spring matters

[tranquil iris]

yeah thats what I realized also I really dont understand how switches are measured when they refer to 50g,40g etc. they mean the bottom out force right ?

[high nymph]

beginning and bottom out force, yes

[tranquil iris]

there arent offical statstics about the gen one omnipoint so thats the only thing I have and the only switch I used for a long time

thats from rtings

[tranquil iris]

I find nothing about the beginning actuation force of the owlab ti but I think I still go with shorter travel distance. My brother has cherry speed silvers (I think they shorter then 4mm too) and I like the feeling

[trail bane]

Lol

[untold wigeon]

185

wow

[trail bane]

Yes 🥀

[fallen pecan]

178 in mainland china

[untold wigeon]

ngl, they make it as expensive for the wooting fanboys

[trail bane]

Frfr

[untold wigeon]

if i buy the kbd mk3

i can get a free venom pcb and plate

on the same price

[trail bane]

I like design, so I don’t want get gt80

And i technically i have money to buy it yesterday, but I was really disappointed when I saw that price

[untold wigeon]

ngl, less material used for holes and still cost more

[trail bane]

Even wlmouse selling their best x with holes and solid sides for the same price

[glacial wind]

honestly the cost isn't that bad for the machining probably required for the case

but i'd rather buy a holy80 without a holes and a little less cost personally lol

[untold wigeon]

at least u get a free carrying case

[fallen pecan]

mk3 + case hardening cheaper than holy80

[untold wigeon]

i felt that i bought the travel case from wooting a little bit late

idk how is the material compared to kbdfans carrying case

[high nymph]

Overkill IMHO. I would just get the redux. I just did ! 😅

[untold wigeon]

wooting would have a better material (?)

[thorn zealot]

Well well well

[fluid ravine]

Ay......

Stay away

@sweet oak I need back up

[thorn zealot]

Quite unfortunate ur not home to pick it up

[chilly mural]

I prefer my wooting travel case over my tiger lite. Though not sure if KBD have anything much more high quality case.

[fluid ravine]

MANGO

GET YO DEER ASS OVER HERE

IT AIN'T CHRISTMAS

SANTA DON'T NEED YOU RIGHT NOW

[sweet oak]

You called?

You need something eaten?

Ah i see whats going on

Im on it

[thorn zealot]

Fortunate timing that I’m at the airport to Houston rn

[fluid ravine]

Stay where you are

[thorn zealot]

Nah I’m not at the airport

But I can buy a ticket rn if u want

Dw il make sure ur packages are safe and sound

[untold wigeon]

i see,
i bought it so i can use a strap on it

[south flicker]

Thoughts on those switches? Or just go with regular jades+

[tropic urchin]

POMs if you want box stem imo and owlab ti he’s for non box stem switches

Jade lineup is getting more dated by the week

[chilly mural]

It's not dated if they do more recolor

Apple's strat, release newer color to make current phone relevant again.

[south flicker]

I dont like the wooting store cuz it doesnt offer paypal or any other payment Method that I have

[snow yarrow]

Hell no, esp not for 1€/switch on maxgaming

[tropic urchin]

There’s the OG TTC POMs which you can find off the Wooting store, and owlabs will be a similar story. They’re fine if you’re set on getting those with minimal hassle, but there are a few better options available outside of Jade gaming @south flicker

[snow yarrow]

Just put the switches in the bag bro, deltakeyco ships from france and has paypal

https://deltakeyco.com/products/owlab-ti-he-switches?_pos=1&_psq=Owlab&_ss=e&_v=1.0

[solar tundra]

UR Studio Ice Ultra sound SO FKIN GOOD

[south flicker]

So get these instead?

In terms of switches I have no Idea on what I want

[fallen pecan]

https://wootingmods.com/switchguide/#what-is-the-best-wooting-keyboard-switch

[snow yarrow]

I mean, its up to you and how much you wanna spend, but like 99% of ppl here probably would agree with me in that no gateron switch is worth 1€/switch

[south flicker]

Alright, then the Owlab switch it is

Thank you :3

[tropic urchin]

Dt mvp for saving him from Jade gaming 🌹

[fringe quarry]

when new better switch

[south flicker]

❤️

[tropic urchin]

Gateron luminary 🌹

[solar tundra]

Any1 got Wrist Wrest Recommendations? My Wooting one just dont get clean anymore where i have my Hand

[paper bison]

what yall think of the geon raws

[fallen pecan]

i'm partial to Nuphy wrist rests

[tropic urchin]

They’re good, they were recently replaced by owl lab ti he as improved switches

[solar tundra]

Yeah i just replaced my Geon Raws

They outdated

[paper bison]

i mean i’m going from the stock switches to geon raw, i’ll probably re upgrade when the v2 module is out

[tropic urchin]

Yeah they’re fine if you just want something while you wait for tikkens

[fallen pecan]

i wonder what king of magnetic is short for

[paper bison]

just want something better than the lekker v1s

[solar tundra]

Owlabs

[paper bison]

that’s the plan, and for how cheap they are it ain’t bad

[solar tundra]

I just got UR Studio Ice Ultras 70 for 26€

[tropic urchin]

Owlabs will be similarly priced but if you just wanna order from Wooting site then RAWs should be fine

[solar tundra]

On Ali Express

[random dagger]

nevermind i found them, sorry for the dumb question

[solar tundra]

Do you see something where your Hand always is? Can you order them in EU?

[fallen pecan]

don't understand your question, but you can check them out yourself: https://nuphy.com/collections/accessories?filter.p.m.custom.product_type=Wrist+Rest

[solar tundra]

Can you see marks where the hand always lies? Like on mine?

Even lettin it soak in water with dishsoap i just cannot get rid of it

[old swallow]

i have a simmilar thing on mine, but not too noticable. and i dont care too much tbh

[solar tundra]

Its always shiny it doesnt matter that much but i want one where this shit doesnt happen tho

[fallen pecan]

you should see it less on acrylic compared to opaque silicone

[solar tundra]

I mean is there any wrist wrest where something like this does not happen at all?

[fallen pecan]

not unless the rest does not come into contact with your skin oils

[thin anvil]

Can anyone recommend me some keycaps to match the optimum case? I have the wooting ones but I would like to change them, I was thinking about a set tending towards white (I also have the white coil cable)

[solar tundra]

Budget or Price doesnt matter

[solar tundra]

unlucky

[fallen pecan]

cerakey has a ceramic wrist rest, tho i'm not sure if skin oils won't interact with the glaze

[solar tundra]

i mean if its always happen i just wait for wrist wrest v2 and buy that one

[fallen pecan]

best you can do is minimize how bad it looks after a while

[solar tundra]

Yeah, when i get a new one i just wipe it after each time i played

[solar tundra]

that one looks cool tho but prob with tax around 80-100 for me

[fallen pecan]

ye they pricey

i know TX sells a faux ceramic rest too, but i'm not sure what that means exactly

[solar tundra]

yeah whatever bro i think i just wait for wrist wrest 2 and wipe it after i used it

thats prob the best you can do

[thin anvil]

i dont really care about the price... Just want to find something that fits well in my set up

[random dagger]

is there a difference in the TTC magnetos vs the POM rgb that are available on the wooting store?

[fallen pecan]

wooting variants just have heavier springs and diff coloring

[tropic urchin]

Do you want strictly white keycaps or can it have other colors as well?

Probably won’t find anything good with shine thru so it’ll look closer to GMK (no shine thru legends)

@thin anvil something like this? https://kbdfans.com/collections/pbtfans/products/pbtfans-pastel-gray

[old swallow]

i have those, they are quite nice. but a bit more an off-white tone. so you could also always just go for this.
https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-doubleshot-bow?variant=40342543564939

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I was gonna recommend BOW for him as well, wanted to see how he wanted his colors for his optimum case

For straight white BOW 100%

[old swallow]

i used the Pastel Gray on my Encore S2
And they match really close.

(Not actually the keycaps in pic, thats GMK Modern Materials, but i dont have a good pic)

[tropic urchin]

Oooh that’s nice

[slow zodiac]

how do u change the lighting colour on your keyboard because i went to the website and it said ur keyboard neds an update click on tshe button to get started and it wouldnt let me click the button

[tropic urchin]

I figured the pastel set would be nice on optimum, could also use some color as well since the optimum series is very grey

[old swallow]

can you send a screnshot of what you mean?

[old swallow]

i also have the plain red and blue PBTfans sets, and they are quite nice. i just really like the modifier keys on PBTfans

[slow zodiac]

cause its like not letting me click the button

[old swallow]

hmmmmm

[south flicker]

Anyone got a minute for me? Im planning to gift a Wooting to my friend, and decided on the Tofu60 redux case. However I stumbled upon the text here. I ordered the iso layout(german) wooting pcb, will it still be compatible or do I have to get something extra to install it?

[old swallow]

layout doesnt matter, that is just an optional plate with a different material

[south flicker]

Oki thx. So its the same installation process as the Alumaze?

Cuz I used alumaze for my wooting

[old swallow]

pretty much, theres like 4-5 screws. and thats it

[south flicker]

I love this community❤️

[slow zodiac]

do yk what i should do to switch the colours on it?

[old swallow]

right euhm

well, you just need to get to a point where you actually have the board recognized and updated

but eeeeh

im not sure why the update button is greyed out

[solar tundra]

Are you from Germany?

[old swallow]

netherlands

[solar tundra]

Maxgaming might be cheaper for Tofu60?

[random dagger]

hm i'll probably go with the magnetos since they are 20 euros cheaper on aliexpress

[old swallow]

euhm, i got mine directly from kbdfans, but thats because i got it when it came out. so it wasnt out on other vendors yet, but yea. might be worth a shot

[solar tundra]

how much did you pay

[old swallow]

can also look at the kbdfans alixrpess store, might be cheaper too. but idk

[solar tundra]

i mean its 65€ + shipping like 6

[old swallow]

1 sec

[south flicker]

Yea

[solar tundra]

Buy on Maxgaming, should be cheaper

[slow zodiac]

so i just gotta hope it works at some point?

[old swallow]

might have to wait till a mod with more understanding has a solution

[south flicker]

🪦

Zu spät

[old swallow]

this is what i paid, but thats like 2 years ago
so 115~ euro

with the weight

[lyric nimbus]

what else do i need to be careful when uhh

building a keyboard case

(aluminum one)

i know i need to ground it

[solar tundra]

I paid 100€ for all that on Maxgaming

[old swallow]

seems like a good deal 👍

[solar tundra]

I always buy there

Also all my Mice

[old swallow]

i have bought stuff from them before, but appearantly they have a pretty bad reputations

[solar tundra]

Bad Reputations for what? I never had an issue. Even when i had Issues with a Product they did send me very fast 2x Replacements until i was satisfyd

[slow zodiac]

how long do you think that will take

[old swallow]

im not sure, but from what ive heard customer support isnt great. but idk, never had issues myself

[solar tundra]

Customer Support was good always tho

[old swallow]

not sure, since mods are often in this channel, but really cant say for sure

[old swallow]

idk. its only what ive heard tbh

[slow zodiac]

okay thanks for the help

[solar tundra]

Did you select ur Wooting in Browser?

In the Pop Up?

[slow zodiac]

yh its recognised ive connected it but it wont let me update it and its saying i need to

[solar tundra]

Maybe delete Browser Files and try again? Do you have Software installed?

[slow zodiac]

wdym by software

ive lit only just set the keyboard up

[solar tundra]

You just got the Keyboard?

[old swallow]

i think he means are you using the website or the downloaded software?

[winter moss]

bet thx

[slow zodiac]

i got bought it as a gift for christmas but ive only just unboxed it and set it up yh

[slow zodiac]

im using the website

[solar tundra]

I mean he use Web rn i just wanted to know if he downloaded the Software

Try maybe https://beta.wootility.io/

[slow zodiac]

i clicked the button on the main page again but i just keep getting sent to this

[old swallow]

have you gotten this, where you select the board on the top left?

[tropic urchin]

On the keycap prowl while I count down the hours til I get to install my stabs 🌹

[stray tiger]

I made the decision to sell my GMK Deep Space set today 😦

[tropic urchin]

Has a cool lil cyberpunk neon aesthetic to it

Get tired of it or just not enough good case colors for it?

[paper bloom]

Good boutta hit the hay was thinking about my suisei keycaps

Wby?

[sweet oak]

very crunchy

[stray tiger]

It's a collectors set at this point and I'm not a collector. I'm going to start dropping sets Id never use and a guy who I havent met but am familiar with made me a cash offer I decided to take.

[paper bloom]

If there any gmk sets u want out

[stray tiger]

We need to get R to make you a crunchy emoji

[paper bloom]

Care if i can enquire

[stray tiger]

If you're in the US sure, lmk what you're after in a DM

[paper bloom]

FUCK, im not in the US

Shaggg

[stray tiger]

I guessed by your use of enquire instead of inquire lol

[paper bloom]

Idm paying for shipping fees tho

Mb mb its 1 am

Didnt sleep well last night

[stray tiger]

Send me a DM anyway but no promises

[paper bloom]

Yeah i will later

[stray tiger]

Not all non-US places suck to ship to but most do thanks to the orange man

[paper bloom]

US TO singapore is p straight forward

Its mostly the waiting game

But idk ill ask tmr

Gn my friend

[tropic urchin]

I’ll probably be in the market for 2-3 more sets as some cool new sets start coming out

Depending on how GMK Selene turns out which probably isn’t looking too good

[stray tiger]

smh my head. What board would you ever put that set on?

[tropic urchin]

I like the purple cosmos more than I do trying to perfectly match it. Based off the renders I’d just leave it on my silber cases and call it a day

Purple works but not my favorite, black is kinda w/e, white obv no

Adds some contrast to it, but I’ll probably have to pivot to another set at some point

[stray tiger]

If you want purple, funky but looks good on silver. Ive got a few sets I could hook you up with. Why not something like GMK Laser?

[idle scaffold]

Cool

[stray tiger]

Its more purple than that, this is closer

[tropic urchin]

Looks nice, after buying ronin for Benom it’ll set out my time horizon a bit before I go in on a new set

Has some cyberpunk with some Miami nights type shii

[gleaming crane]

Does anyone know if the wooting 60he v2 will be compatible with 60he custom plates?

[stray tiger]

Yes same plates

[tulip rapids]

cant wait for the wrist rest v2

https://tenor.com/view/happy-cat-yippee-cat-gif-6081453495700419424

[lyric nimbus]

cant wait to go back to university to use the cnc mill

https://tenor.com/view/happy-cat-yippee-cat-gif-6081453495700419424

what else do i need to worry about assembling an aluminum case

i know grounding is one

[ripe void]

Anyone got any recommendations for replacing foam 80he ?

[tulip rapids]

why do you need to ground it? You want the friction pad?

[lyric nimbus]

wait i dont need to ground it

oh wait

static

lol

nvm

i dont need to ground it

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/why-monkey-what-huh-confused-gif-3006908007927048834

[lyric nimbus]

idk

im just concerned about

anything that could fry the pcb

[tulip rapids]

oh youre making your own custom case

got it

[lyric nimbus]

yeah

there are no premade cases for the wooting two...

[snow yarrow]

Whats difference between the current and v2?

[fringe quarry]

cuz it doesnt move?

[tulip rapids]

yeah

lool

with that attachment it doesnt move

and its longer which idk how to feel about it

[fringe quarry]

i just screwed mine to the table

[tulip rapids]

my v1 keeps moving

i gotta see if its my desk matt thats the problem

[ancient acorn]

Is the Friction Fit Pad compatible with the older (non +) 60HE? It seems like it is but I just wanted to confirm

[marsh saffron]

I'm fairly certain it would be

Haven't used it, as mines just using an oring friction mount

But i believe it works

[woven wolf]

If I replace the switches with Gateron Jade Pro in 60HE will it be similar to better iqunix?

[tropic urchin]

It’ll sound better than stock lekkers, but I’d probably go with owlab ti’s atm over jades

Cheaper + better stem wobble

[marsh saffron]

Id go with ti he

[tulip rapids]

its the case thats the issue

not the module

[tropic urchin]

It’s building time 🌹

my tofu case looking nervously at me while i fantasize about 60v2 silver and white alu case

[fleet shoal]

Hi guys. I tape modded my 80he in the GT-80 Case. It sounds soooo damn bad. Hollow from hell. Anyone know why?

[tulip rapids]

what tape did you use?

[marble sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/tape-gif-8649159

[fleet shoal]

painters tape from Tesa 😄

it s really bad

[marble sierra]

I've never done it myself but I know people put multiple layers to their preference

[fleet shoal]

yeah i have 3 layers. unter i haver poron foam or testet the foam from the original 80he case. Both are really bad. i think it could be cause of the gasket mount. donno. but it is really bad

[marble sierra]

Someone in here for sure will have good advise on what too do

[sacred elm]

Try polyfill instead of foam

i think i will take of the tape. it sounds like an cheat peace from chinese basar 😄

[sacred elm]

Which switches?

[fleet shoal]

actually the owlab ti he

before the geon raw he

[trail bane]

Hell yeah!

[tropic urchin]

Owlab space bar so keyboard of the peeble

[sacred elm]

Try without tape mod at all

[trail bane]

Bruh i don’t want sleep but I need to get up in 6 hours

[forest crag]

Polyfill

[steel ibex]

Down 4 6 hour energies

Ez math

[harsh dove]

[sacred elm]

Owlabs?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

After using them for awhile

Never lubed them

[sacred elm]

[fleet shoal]

way better without. tape mod really bad for me

[night atlas]

Sound test no one asked for:

durock rock HE on fr4

[sweet oak]

Not crunch

[tropic urchin]

Keyboard shrinkflation szn

[night atlas]

keycap set is fire

what is this?

is it a combo of two diff ones?

[sacred elm]

Tape mod is not always good, you can try different material plate later (fr4 or alu). You can also cut the silicone for alpha keys and replace it with poron foam, for different sound profile

[tropic urchin]

GMK Lazurite

hey its my picture

[sacred elm]

LOL

[tawdry tree]

the RShift 😭

[tropic urchin]

yeah dont look at that side

7U benom was hard to fit that shit dude

also what the fuck did they do to my fluxies ;_;

this sound is not as good as my 80HE 🥀

[night atlas]

for the venom and wooting users, do you notice any differences between the two functionally when gaming?

this is given that you're using the same/similar settings

[harsh dove]

Fluxes depend on certain cases to sound good

otherwise they sound mid

[night atlas]

unsure about venom software but yea hopefully my question is clear

[harsh dove]

Fluxes are like very case dependent for sound

[harsh dove]

No not really but I prefer Wooting software

[sacred elm]

Also plate

[harsh dove]

yeah

[sacred elm]

I use them with pc plate

[harsh dove]

They still in my 80he rn

I think it has FR4

[sacred elm]

Didnt like them on fr4

[harsh dove]

Yeah I can't remember what plate I have in 80he

[night atlas]

I think "quieter" switches sound better on harder plates like fr4

and "louder" switches sound better on softer plates like pc/pom

[harsh dove]

Oh nvm they on POM

[sacred elm]

Ive compared tigerlite venom and 80he, no noticeable difference in performance at all.

[tropic urchin]

they sound very weird on alu plate leggera

fuck

well

[night atlas]

gotcha

[tropic urchin]

@harsh dove is gummy oring mount supposed to be super bouncy

[night atlas]

yea just curious cause i do want to build another board, specifically HE since I have a TON of nice switches unused right now lol

i can only see this collection growing

if i only i could convince more homies to jump on the wooting ship

[harsh dove]

Depends on the hardness of the O ring but not really

Like Salvation is bouncier to me

[night atlas]

oh shit the venom PCB is only 65 USD pre-tax and shipping

[tropic urchin]

Is this normal

[harsh dove]

@sacred elm Fluxes on POM

[night atlas]

yea i got mine gummy o ring mounted and it does the exact same thing

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

okay

[tropic urchin]

this thing feels fucking weird lmao

[sacred elm]

lol

[harsh dove]

Is CTRL scratching the inside?

[sacred elm]

return

[night atlas]

wait are you using the venom or the wooting

@tropic urchin

[tropic urchin]

I dont believe so

[tropic urchin]

benom 7u

[harsh dove]

Hmm mines not that flexy, what oring hardness is yours?

[fringe quarry]

dont use the foam

[night atlas]

oo ok

yea what cam said

[tropic urchin]

dunno how you test it, but its whatever geon gives out with leggera

[harsh dove]

Oh he gives out 40A stock I think

[tropic urchin]

yeah im swapping to FR4, this is stupid

[fringe quarry]

like your keys also seem to sit a bit high

[night atlas]

i switched o-rings to a harder one, but they were a 3rd party one that's compatible w/the wooting

my PC plate kept warping w/those o rings too, so i switched to fr4

[steel ibex]

Is it worth getting owlabs ti or waiting for tikkens

[harsh dove]

I’m using PP plate with 40A stock Geon o ring

[night atlas]

owlabs ti is always worth!!

[fringe quarry]

tikken will be long wait

[night atlas]

i'm sure tikkens are sick but u won't get those for a cool minute

[harsh dove]

If you don’t mind waiting awhile then wait for Tikkens but if you want something now then get Owlabs

[harsh dove]

[steel ibex]

They releasing q4 or q1 26

[harsh dove]

Hopefully Q4

[steel ibex]

Yeah ik im just not into paying 50$ for switches ill replace in less then 6 months

[steel ibex]

Alr I’ll wait

Might as well get 60v2 as well

Fits in alumaze or nah

[sacred elm]

Yes

[steel ibex]

Ehmazing

Poll: should I gift my Wooting away if I get the 60v2

[sacred elm]

Sell

[steel ibex]

Nah

Was gifted to me so I gift it again (with permission)

[night atlas]

totally fair!

[steel ibex]

Might swap the case for a tofu60 redux in that case though

[night atlas]

there's also a chance that tikkens might not be all that?

not a big chance, but it's a non-zero chance

[steel ibex]

Nah I trust thockfather glaze

[night atlas]

in thockfather we trust

what're u using now?

[steel ibex]

Koms

Lubed

[harsh dove]

If you like 4mm travel and deep sounding switches then you'll like Tikkens

they have similar tolerances to today's popular switches

[steel ibex]

Can I swap out Kim switches or no

[fringe quarry]

lowkey wanna try poms

[harsh dove]

KOMs? Yeah why wouldn't you be able too

[steel ibex]

Kom springs*

[harsh dove]

Oh no

KOMs use special springs

[stray tiger]

I'vw been testing the Flux on the acrylic leggera with FR4 plate but ended up having to add foam between PCB and plate to tone them down. They sound decent now so maybe try that if you need to @tropic urchin

[fringe quarry]

can someone send me 4 of those switches

[steel ibex]

I might get tikkens then

Cuz I want 5 light springs and then rest to be heavier then koms

[harsh dove]

Special as in they are thinner in width than your typical HE springs

[tropic urchin]

How does it look?

[harsh dove]

So they won't fit around standard stems

[steel ibex]

Any aftermarket springs I can swap to?

[harsh dove]

For KOMs or Tikkens?

KOMs, no

[steel ibex]

Koms

I assume tikkens use lekker springs

[harsh dove]

At least I don't know of any aftermarket springs for KOMs

[sacred elm]

Not recommended

[steel ibex]

Available on the Wooting website today

[steel ibex]

Icic

[night atlas]

where are u located?

[fringe quarry]

eu

[harsh dove]

Tikken use upgraded springs compared to whats on the site currently

[night atlas]

damn lol, not gonna be worth, i'm in NA

[steel ibex]

Will they be selling those?

[harsh dove]

Separately? not sure

[fringe quarry]

i cover switch cost, u cover shipping, deal?

[steel ibex]

I’ll do it other way around

[fringe quarry]

no ty

im poor

[night atlas]

LOL i was gonna say that's like... a skewed deal lol ur better off buying switches

yourself

[steel ibex]

Send me gpu I cover shipping?

[fringe quarry]

yo shipping is 10k :/

[steel ibex]

Aw man I’m poor

[fringe quarry]

get a j*b

[night atlas]

?

[tulip rapids]

theres no way to bring custom springs for that switch?

[harsh dove]

Unless someone makes some , not really

You can use wider (normal) HE springs but it's not optimal

[steel ibex]

I’m 14

[fringe quarry]

and

[tulip rapids]

i like the colour way of the red and purple but it seems i will try out wooting version instead. I hate light switches

[steel ibex]

Someone make some

[tulip rapids]

my 40g geon raws be making me throw matches

[fringe quarry]

how

[night atlas]

out of curiosity and not doubt, what makes it not optimal if it fits?

[tulip rapids]

i hover over my keycaps

40g way too light

[night atlas]

Lol i'm out here using 35g

[fleet shoal]

Hmm ok. ill try. maybe order some other plates. without the tape is really good with the owlab ti. The H key sounds a bit different. Is hollowier 😄 then the others.

[night atlas]

makes me feel fast

but i also use this for long periods of time since i got a job that requires a lot of typing

[fringe quarry]

i prefer 40

[teal dew]

Hey guys, quick question — has anyone here tried the Lekker L45 switches? Are they worth switching to from Gateron Jade? Is there any real benefit? I mostly play Valorant, so I’d love to hear your thoughts. Maybe someone has compared them and can share some feedback

[tulip rapids]

gaming wise when i used the 60g lekkers i liked it

but when i bought geons the 40g were the only ones in stock

gonna be testing 50g owlabs and 50g or 60 springs on my geons and see what i like

[night atlas]

jades are just fine tbh

most pros prob still use their default switches

aka lekkers

[fleet shoal]

maybe take the Geon Raws or the owlab ti he

[night atlas]

hoping u find ur preference!!

[harsh dove]

The shorter, wider springs feel less responsive in the KOMs

[night atlas]

ooo gotcha

[tulip rapids]

ty fren me too

[tropic urchin]

Holy shit sounds so much better with FR4 than Alu

[tulip rapids]

do you own a wooting or looking at their website to buy one?

am i the only one rocking a pc plate?

[teal dew]

Default wooting 60he

[tulip rapids]

you bought the jade pros from wooting website?

[teal dew]

Nope

[fleet shoal]

do someone have the 80he with a FR4 Plate? any soundtest?

[tulip rapids]

what springs are on jade pros?

[teal dew]

Nooe

Nope

Jade not pro

[harsh dove]

Duhuk Core HE + Geon RAW HE (Frankenswitches) on FR4

[steel ibex]

Im using pc

[fleet shoal]

thanks bro. is there a big difference between the standard wooting plate and the FR4?
Ich habe the same Case. which foam do you use under the PCB ?

[harsh dove]

Just the case foam that comes with 80HE

[steel ibex]

Tikker

That sounds like a slur

[fleet shoal]

ok. i ordered poron foam from amzon.
do you know what material the original foam is ? maybe i ll order some of it an will cut it, that it will fit perfectly in the case

Poron is a bit different as the original. it s like memoryfoam

[harsh dove]

Poron or EPDM

Or PE

Says its EPDM Foam

[fleet shoal]

oh thanks bro. i searching at amazon, maybe will find some.

[polar girder]

Alphas great. Space bar whack

Space bar has too much of that bouncy springy HE sound

[harsh dove]

Yeah I feel like spacebar hard to get just right in GT-80

Feel like spacebar worse on the Fluxes tho

not bad with Rawhuks

[tropic urchin]

@harsh dove I got the mad alchemist's ladle LP2 👀 (stygian coal build)

[harsh dove]

Haha nice! I still haven't made that build yet, was working on Heartseeker Marksman

[tropic urchin]

that looks nasty wtf lmao

machine gun type shii

[harsh dove]

Haha yeah

[tulip rapids]

are you okay? Im worried about you nephew

[uneven cradle]

Good build

[tulip rapids]

how do we feel about this?

beside the switch smelling awful

[harsh dove]

Blue Cheeses are nice

[tulip rapids]

what switch would you compare them too?

[harsh dove]

Mmh idk tbh they are pretty deep sounding

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMSLm3pXcoE

Dr.Dave has them he really likes them

@cold bloom pinging you

[tulip rapids]

cheese so deep

i wonder how they will sound in tofu

[cold bloom]

I just sold them actually lmao but they're great switches

I just wasn't using them much

[steel ibex]

What

[tulip rapids]

what switches u using now?

[tropic urchin]

@stray tiger I really enjoy fluxies on wooting and really like 42.5g owlab on benom

[cold bloom]

I have nixies and gateron l'orange in my mode encore setups rn

[tropic urchin]

the speed of owlabs just fits really well

[cold bloom]

and then I think a venom and mx black setup for my salvation

[stray tiger]

The FR4 plate was enough? No foam needed?

I'm also using the acrylic version so that may be why

[tropic urchin]

fluxies sounded better on FR4

I just didnt enjoy them as much as on wooting

the speed of 42.5g owlabs is pretty lit for benom

[stray tiger]

The speed shouldn't matter based on PCB. The feel would be the same

[tulip rapids]

[cyan lark]

What is happening in here, y'all go turncoat for MX?

[thorn zealot]

[cyan lark]

(I should really do an MX build)

[little glen]

Agar looks cool but hhkb

[cyan lark]

HHKB was pain for me

[thorn zealot]
