[little glen]

Strongly considering a neo65 cu

But i‘ll probably wait with that since my gmk sloth are taking a long while to get here

[stray tiger]

Figured I suckered you into buying them lol

[little glen]

I sent the screenshot of the email in here

And you reacted to it

[stray tiger]

Pre-order already gone too. Think it lasted 5 days

[little glen]

You already suckered me into buying other kits

[tulip rapids]

[tropic urchin]

I need to start using my shit

ive been stock piling

[steel ibex]

also yall do i need amps or anything with hd490pro

[thorn zealot]

u dont need anythin crazy for those headphones

[steel ibex]

wait so just 490 pro and dx3pro+?

[thorn zealot]

👍

[steel ibex]

wait why is it 250$ 😭

[thorn zealot]

sry thats the cheaper end of amps

[steel ibex]

aw hell nah

[thorn zealot]

💀

[steel ibex]

wdym by that the headphones are already like 500 😭

my mom's gonna beat my ass

[thorn zealot]

im not jk

sub $500 is generally the cheaper end of amps

[steel ibex]

💀

thank god im a classical musician

[thorn zealot]

and im not poor shaming

[steel ibex]

ik ur not

14 year old kit iwth a 750$ fucking headphone setup bro

[thorn zealot]

u can get the moondrop dawn pro instead

its a lil amp dongle that can plug into ur pc

[tidal frigate]

No need for expensive headphones if you have iems

[thorn zealot]

and only $60

[thorn zealot]

not everyone likes usin iems

[steel ibex]

im not a fan of my iems

or iems in general

the cable is number one really short one mine

number two i find them hard to put in/stay in

[tidal frigate]

Well why dongle dac amp if you have already good dac amp combo in new mobos

[steel ibex]

im using the biggest tips as well

[thorn zealot]

unless u have like the top mobos an external amp will be better

[tidal frigate]

Are you pulling ear up to open up ear canal?

[steel ibex]

im supposed to do that?

[tidal frigate]

I have mid range mobo

[tidal frigate]

Yep

But no one says that

[steel ibex]

ok thats slightly better

[tidal frigate]

Pull up put release and twist

Technicly

[thorn zealot]

cuz u dont have to do that

[tidal frigate]

Well you technicly have to do it for better fit

Because it is releasing pressure on ear canal

[steel ibex]

how do i explain an 800$ headphone purchase to my asian mother

[tidal frigate]

Tell her you got it for free

[thorn zealot]

tell her its alot cheaper than it is

[steel ibex]

she can see my card purchases

[thorn zealot]

say its like $150 total

[steel ibex]

its on HER amazon account

[thorn zealot]

💀

[tidal frigate]

Create your own amazon account?

[thorn zealot]

just get older and get ur own card duhhhh

[steel ibex]

but no prime

[thorn zealot]

thats what i did

[steel ibex]

it is my own card

but she can still see it

shes my mom ofc shes gonna be able to see my purchases

[tidal frigate]

Isint prime like 10usd monthly

[thorn zealot]

ur 14 and u have ur own card?

[steel ibex]

probably

[steel ibex]

i mean she set it up for me

but yeah

its not using her money or anything

[thorn zealot]

what i do is just purchase and not tell her

[steel ibex]

when she checks shes gonna be a bit suspiricous

[thorn zealot]

and when she realizes that i got it i just say a cheaper price

[steel ibex]

she can see -500 and -250

[tidal frigate]

It is your money

[steel ibex]

bro she disapproves of me buying a 250$ desk

which is 96"x26" or smth

and costs about 500-700$ new

[tidal frigate]

So? Just ignore her

[steel ibex]

💀

alr yeah its ggs for me

[thorn zealot]

maybe get diff headphones?

[steel ibex]

oh guys we're saved

[steel ibex]

no.

[thorn zealot]

surely u dont need the $500

[tidal frigate]

Me with 5000 usd setup

[steel ibex]

...

[tidal frigate]

[steel ibex]

i think my pc is like 2k usd

my monitor is like 1k usd

my keyboard is like 500 usd

im not quite there yet ig

my setup is abt 4k usd

[tidal frigate]

So why you are scared of your mom

[steel ibex]

lets push it to 4.5 by buying new heapdhones

[steel ibex]

cuz shes my mom

[thorn zealot]

if ur allowed to get a $4k setup

surely u can get like a $500 audio setup

[steel ibex]

https://www.amazon.ca/DX3-Pro-Headphone-Amplifier-Bluetooth/dp/B09HBJ1WK6?crid=1QYW9GK1X3O28&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.9ynZOND_ZPvTCcoLTqu94DtZ2-yHSMQPHPtF4drwzbGtNdSNyJ1kkG2pTWEewG6R-3t6j8MvfP1JxuGfbKGKO7wxG9VZrr2J_e-04dlcRW06GvO94qsY1U7a2sTw4786ptTIMJ8Waq_p2cuMAyByH8Hrd6mjPJcw2nmRYiRcfQ45mjOSUmplulpKarlmLp_YLO1xyhM6YChZUc9RnCy5YNnVltSYU48vgLFDhDbp6mg2IGwOw0oZleFUz0xb5n_-56zQ79wTnlislQvaua67_G39Ct9lyOQk_aMMfbYcki8.emjHmKXsu1ehwlxoFo3K5OmelFWyHhLv1kGmVaBfAjc&dib_tag=se&keywords=dx3%2Bpro&qid=1748398344&sprefix=dx3%2Bpro%2Caps%2C151&sr=8-3

you were talking abt this right

[steel ibex]

she disapproves of my 150$ mouse

and 150$ mousepad

[fallen pecan]

here ya go https://headphones.com/products/focal-hadenys-open-box

[thorn zealot]

yeah but if u want even more cheaper get the moondrop dawn pro

[steel ibex]

whats the difference

[tidal frigate]

My xlr mic setup is like 400 usd

[thorn zealot]

the topping has more power and technically better sound

but for someone that is not into the audio hobby as much as someone like me u wouldnt notice/care abt the diff

[steel ibex]

my mic is good ennough for vc with friends and valorant

mic is one thing that i dont care much abouyt

[thorn zealot]

im not kidding but im pretty sure the official usb c to 3.5mm dongle will power ur headphones

[tidal frigate]

You dont need 250 usd dac

[steel ibex]

💀

too late

you guys talked me into it

[thorn zealot]

💀

[steel ibex]

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07JMYG6LF?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_14

this is what i got

the original one i got is gone

[tidal frigate]

Looks cheap

[steel ibex]

a "variation" of this one

[steel ibex]

sounds good enough

[tidal frigate]

Well me with elgato dx

[steel ibex]

idk if this is a good test or not

idk i cant tell the difference between this and a 300$ one

plus all i do is vc with my friends and comm in valorant

not exactly needing of a 300$ mic

[tidal frigate]

@steel ibex i'am pretty sure your mobo can handle sanhaisers

[steel ibex]

i have a REALLY cheap mobo

[fallen pecan]

same goes for a $250 dac amp

[tidal frigate]

I can seee diffrence

[steel ibex]

huh

whered the fucking hyperlink go

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0DGWQ128D?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

[thorn zealot]

k nvm apple dongle prolly cant run those headphones

[steel ibex]

i cant 😭

I mean i can a bit

but for my general purpose

no i cant.

[tidal frigate]

It is mid range asus board

[steel ibex]

i paid like 150$ cad

oh i had gift card

[tidal frigate]

It can handle sanhaisers

[steel ibex]

i paid 26.17

[thorn zealot]

the dac amp will be better in the long run if he decides to upgrade/sidegrade to a diff headphone

that requires more power

[steel ibex]

probably wont

or will just buy an amp then

[thorn zealot]

yeah thats what i thought

[steel ibex]

im no audiofile

[thorn zealot]

lucky

[stray tiger]

Let's move the non keyboard stuff to https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1374710487329017926

[steel ibex]

im a pdf file :D

[tidal frigate]

My mobo can handle like 600 ohms

[steel ibex]

ok that came out wrong

[thorn zealot]

mods perma

[steel ibex]

im a json file :D

[thorn zealot]

i have some shitty $1k prebuilt pc so mine wont 🥀

[steel ibex]

i put too much into my pc too little in peripherals

[tidal frigate]

Propably it can

[thorn zealot]

well it technically can

but does it sound good?

no

most mobos can run these headphones

it will just sound not as good as a good external dac amp

[tidal frigate]

You mean louder

[thorn zealot]

louder and just sound better imo

[fallen pecan]

you won't get coloration with sterile Toppings

[thorn zealot]

most topping amps are pretty sterile

[granite comet]

Oh I thought you meant KBD lmao

[sacred elm]

185$ 💀

[uneven cradle]

Knew it was going to be something weird if it was angrymiao

[steel ibex]

hwy

[uneven cradle]

Wonder how it holds up with multiple high speed devices over one USB

[stray tiger]

?

[steel ibex]

why

lijke why use this instad of a usb hub or smth

[stray tiger]

Connect up to 4 devices to the detachable one-to-four module with blazing 8K speeds.

Perfect for connecting your devices such as 8K magnetic keyboards, mechanical keyboards, mouse receiver, microphone, DAC, external hard drive, USB flash drive, and other Type-C devices.

[steel ibex]

oh

[ionic breach]

wait i might have to pay taxes, if so i cant get it

damn thats nice of them to do

includes alll the accessories too

Wtf is going on with deskhero shipping to eu

[ionic breach]

[stray tiger]

There is a strike with Canada post right?

[ionic breach]

its done i think?

or did it start again

[snow yarrow]

I paid 17 bucks 3 weeks ago 😭

[snow yarrow]

On the bright side, express shipping is just 7$ more

[thorn zealot]

Well what doesn’t look like shit to u

[snow yarrow]

[timid shadow]

Honestly good for the price. But I think the contrasts weirdly with my black case

[ionic breach]

fbb fuck typing

[thorn zealot]

Oh alr

U can go through divinikey pbt keycaps selection and find ones u like

Although I think most aren’t as cheap as the ones I posted

[ionic breach]

oh the strike is back from the gov intervention

[polar girder]

lol that is pretty sweet

if it works

[south flicker]

Any reccomendations on stabilizers for the 60he+?

[ocean spire]

i just got into keyboards

and i have a wooting 60 he

PLUS

somebody help me get a better understanding of keyboards

i only know like stabalizers switches and boards

thats it

[glacial wind]

@ionic breach apparently wotancraft has singapore exclusive leica leather camera bags, you may need to look into this to achieve maximum camera spend

https://keithwee.com/2023/11/22/wotancraft-pilot-2l-leather-travel-camera-bag-review-4-reasons-why-it-is-a-perfect-balance-of-luxury-and-practicality/

since it's leica you know they'll add on another $100-200 just for fun

[steel ibex]

theres aNotyher one irirc

[solar tundra]

What you wanna know? Which Mods you can do?

[steel ibex]

Crash course on boards from what I know

Basically there’s layers to a keyboard like lasagna

You have case

Then case foam

The pcb

Then sandwich foam

Then switch plate

Then switches

Then keycaps

There’s other things like mounting styles to affect feel

The materials and quality of which the lasagna are made of affects sound

Ummm

If you’re looking for a different feel rather then sound I would change the mount style switch plate and switches

Though all of them does matter for sound as well

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong

[steel ibex]

What the keyboard is in

[steel ibex]

Then the foam between the pcb and case

[steel ibex]

PCB (like motherboard or brains of it)

[steel ibex]

Goes between switch plate and pcb

[steel ibex]

What the switches are inserted into (though they make contact with pcb as well)

[steel ibex]

The things the keycaps presses to create an input

[steel ibex]

The plastic you press to press the switch

Unless you’re using cerakeys then the ceramic you press whatever

[ionic breach]

Thanks for coming to my ted talk please leave feedback

[chilly mural]

What's the best case for fortnite

[steel ibex]

Please excuse yourself from these premises immediately

[chilly mural]

Okay... walks away

[thin anvil]

This is a good set but i would prefer something full white such as the BOW
Are there some cheaper/different alternatives? Cuz by living in italy they get over 100€ to get with shipping

[fallen pecan]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006140829164.html

or https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005266208407.html

[thin anvil]

Thanks

[thin anvil]

This ones looks almost the same as the originals, would you say its worth paying 70€ more for the BOW? Or i can go with this one instead?

[fallen pecan]

pbtfans are marginally better but you're paying way more for the difference

the aifei sets are fine

[thin anvil]

Yeah i dont really think that 200 piece of plastic can be worth 100€ anyway haha. But we know keyboard modding is not a cheap hobby 🥲🥲

[sacred elm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B25Pc8mSDkk

[thin anvil]

I think im gonna go with the aifei, also cuz i dont know how good the combination with the optimum case is going to be, so it is better to try out with 15€ instead of 95€

[trail bane]

No spoilers boi

[sour blade]

saw someone earlier say motherboard dac amp is fine for 500 dollar headphones

[paper bison]

it’s not?

i’m using my 64audio aspire4 with one

[round sparrow]

tbh i expected it to sound worse

[safe stag]

where is the clacky sound from jades

[fleet shoal]

damn looks nice. i think i dont like the holes in it 😄

[glacial wind]

i do wonder how well it would sell if they had a normal case version

from the top down this looks super nice besides the holes

[fallen pecan]

cheap case for the 60he

comes with free caps, switches and pcb

[paper bison]

madlion shamelessly copying other brand’s products… again

[fringe quarry]

too red

[paper bison]

not worth the price even for the case, fuck madlion

[chilly mural]

I only prefer plastic

sad 60hev2 seems to only have metal option

at least it's default

[fringe quarry]

does it fit in the v1 case

[chilly mural]

I mean, it's essentially the same GH60 that we know and love

[paper bison]

yes it will

[chilly mural]

[south flicker]

Any reccomendations on stabilizers?

[chilly mural]

If I get the 60hev2 I might just ask a local to swap case if they want

[paper bison]

just get the v2 module and replace your current module

[trail bane]

Fast, silver or white and yellow holy80

[paper bison]

silver

[thorn zealot]

No more

[tropic urchin]

Doesn’t sound as bad as I expected

[cyan lark]

Imagine recommending removing all the switches before removing the switch plate

[austere axle]

I’m thinking about getting one but I don’t have an 80HE… is there any way I could get just the pcb from it or a compatible one?

[cyan lark]

80HE module

Though you'll need to pick up the daughterboard separately. I imagine KBDfans will sell one.

Oh right they sell the GT-80... they definitely sell one.

[sacred elm]

Nah, just buy module and a plastic case

Plastic case is like 10$ and includes daughterboard and usbc cable

[cyan lark]

That is a good option

DB alone goes for what, $6?

[austere axle]

But the module is like $160 and I only need the pcb from it 😭

[cyan lark]

Yes

Wooting is not cheap

[austere axle]

that’s mad

[sacred elm]

Not only PCB

It includes silicon gasket, stabilizers

[austere axle]

Yeah but that stuff is cheap

Lowkey might get the holy 60 instead since that one can come with a pcb

I’m not tryna make this build more expensive than it already is going to be

[marsh saffron]

Cant wait to melt my hand by touching a shingle 😭

[azure pivot]

sick

[tropic urchin]

Also I have committed to keeping tee hees as benom exclusive switches

Didn’t feel as fun or as nice with fluxies 🥀

[marsh saffron]

2$ per switch btw 😭

[tropic urchin]

I loved them on 80HE, but wasn’t it on benom

Still prefer them on 80, but not on my 60%

[sacred elm]

Tikken better

At least then the shingles can't literally melt my skin away

[trail bane]

I’m just squeezing every bit out of the situation to get a chance to have this featured on the PCB of future Wooting products.

[sacred elm]

That is not happening

[tropic urchin]

That’s the MO of this channel

@cyan lark can attest

[untold wigeon]

if u want to use something cheaper & compatible for holy80

[old swallow]

yea, i have 9 custom keebs rn lol

[tropic urchin]

Homie ballin, good shii

I feel better having 2

[old swallow]

not even, just a terrible spending habit lol

but honestly, its too many really.

[tropic urchin]

Just make sure to have some nice online shopping CC perks and you can get free keyboard upgrades

[untold wigeon]

(2)

2 is much better when u realized that u have 7 custom keebs

[old swallow]

i have not bought anything related to keebs in a while, since i figured, i should be happy with what i got. and its costing me too much money lol, but the 60HEv2 with the split space is luring me back in

[untold wigeon]

[tropic urchin]

I’ll stick with 80HE + benom as personal keyboards, what’s going to set me back is keycaps 💀

Lord giveth and taketh away

Pbtfans ronin ship pls 🥀

[untold wigeon]

nice duo

[old swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/green-goblin-green-goblin-mask-mask-scene-reject-urge-gif-2558149218007024011

60HEv2 looking at me like

[untold wigeon]

i'm sticking with 80he & (upcoming kbd 8x mkiii mech)

[tropic urchin]

I’ve really enjoyed tee hees more on benom and flux on 80HE

[old swallow]

it do feel like a waste sometimes, having so many board, just sitting on a shelf rather then being used most of the time.
at least they look pretty

[snow yarrow]

Bro forgot about flux v2 switches, them mfers will be 3$/switch

[tropic urchin]

Get a nice lil wall setup would be cool

[tropic urchin]

If they don’t really change anything I probably won’t need it

On Wooting anyway

I’ll wait for milktooth to get them if they do

[snow yarrow]

Flux v2 full pom, sheeeeeeeeesh

[tropic urchin]

What I’m really interested in is lighter springs but it’s w/e

[snow yarrow]

Id actually pay 3$/switch for that 🌹

[old swallow]

that is how im displaying some rn. and 3 are in use rn

[untold wigeon]

i'm loving the tee hee's with 72g initial force

[tropic urchin]

You kinda crazy but I understand

[untold wigeon]

ngl

it feels nice

[tropic urchin]

It has a unique feel as I tried heavier springs for my artisan keycap but 72g initial is like churning butter 😅

[silk hound]

I need to get a couple of these to display my boards

[old swallow]

https://osume.com/products/three-tier-keyboard-shelf?_pos=1&_psq=shelf&_ss=e&_v=1.0

https://osume.com/products/two-tier-keyboard-shelf?_pos=2&_psq=shelf&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Thats the ones i got, they do look good. but up close the quality isnt perfect

[glacial wind]

Hrm we never got any computex content did we

I wonder if sander has video planned for that at some point

[tropic urchin]

The computex content we needed was the Sony lenses along the way and Jakubix conspiracy of geon collab

[fringe quarry]

we got an fx2 now 😭

[glacial wind]

Never forget that the Sony lens church predicted every announcement from the 60he v2 stream

[tropic urchin]

Mark showed you his leek collection didn’t he

I would love some green leeks right about now

[glacial wind]

The real tragedy is no widespread sale of the wooting bag tag

[tropic urchin]

Owlab needs to release owl80 so I can have ultimate high roller 80HE

Owlab 80 + fluxies and GMK caps 🫦

[glacial wind]

The lack of wooting bag tag and also the fact I can’t order the wotancraft 3.5L pilot sling camera bag because it’s barely over the import tax limit and Korean customs would want me to pay $400 extra to import it

Those are the true tragedies

[glacial wind]

Very nice, but I feel your name doesn’t reflect the keyboard properly though

[sharp comet]

im trying to not be all black out anymore

the black was supposed to be all black but i decided to get a beige mat

im improving

[glacial wind]

Need to change to ‘black and gray out with small amount of red and white out’

It doesn’t have the same ring though

[sharp comet]

i wish i didnt have that red thing on the side

i would go plane WoB or smth

but it fits so why not

[glacial wind]

You can remove that can’t you

[old swallow]

that is very nice

[stray tiger]

The strap holder?

[glacial wind]

I thought the tab was removable

[sharp comet]

yea

[stray tiger]

Take it off. Fill in the holes.

[old swallow]

ill fill your holes,

EYYYY YOO CHILL OUT DAWG

[sharp comet]

with?

[untold wigeon]

ngl i want the tag

i need a tag for the travel case

[old swallow]

does it not come with an insert? (im not saying it does, genuine question)

[sharp comet]

no

that would be ideal

im gonna recheck just to be sure

but ngl... i like it eventhough wihtout it would be better

[tawdry tree]

you can remove it and screw the screws back in I think

won’t see much of it

[glacial wind]

yeah same, i want it for my travel luggage

[sharp comet]

there will be a gap

i cant live with that

[untold wigeon]

i sold my 60he already

and i don't have the tag for my 80he travel case

rip

[tawdry tree]

an indentation more like

[sharp comet]

also the jade rubies

they are fking awesome

[untold wigeon]

L late-ron

sorry for the hate lateron

[sharp comet]

idc

hate whatever you want

[untold wigeon]

no hate on u

[sharp comet]

ik

im just saying

i hate lekker switches

😄

[untold wigeon]

if it's the beige or light color, what is the best keycap set for it?

[sharp comet]

hopefully the tikken will be good

[sharp comet]

there is currently one on oblotzky for groupbuy

idk the name

[untold wigeon]

if black u can use the dolch as well

[sharp comet]

oh the groupbuy is over for the keycaps

[sharp comet]

yea i wanted PBT

i was considering dolch

this one with beige

"sloth"

[untold wigeon]

since geon is showing the dolch often on his streams, it grows on me somehow

[untold wigeon]

looks nice

ahhh

stop showing me the ow60 case please

[sharp comet]

no

[untold wigeon]

i want to be a tkl master

[sharp comet]

ah

tkl

[untold wigeon]

[sharp comet]

too big

[untold wigeon]

i sold all of 60% already

[sharp comet]

heathen

[untold wigeon]

venom 60he, wooting 60he, neo 60, agar

tiger lite gaming on the way

and waiting for frog tkl leggera

[old swallow]

maybe wooting gave a reason already, but i do wonder why they are making a 60HEv2, rather then making it a 65% with the optional split spacebar.

i know they said they didnt want to just do basic layouts, but i feel like with the split space option a 65% would work quite nice

[marble sierra]

I've done similar just waiting on GMK Evil Dolch caps to come before I put it together

[sharp comet]

yea i was really holding back not to unpack anything until everything is here

i was strong

it was tough

[untold wigeon]

1. they have to make a whole new case with new things, when they have all the experience on 60%

2. a lot of "pro players" prefer the 60% for the compact and light weight for their tournaments, so they need to refresh it with new specs and such

and also they released ow60 case

these are my opinions

and if i remember correctly, calder said that he doesn't want to make a special keycaps set (?)

[old swallow]

i think both those points are kinda invalid tho, since they are redoing the case anyway, since its alu now.

and the footprint of a 65% barely increases, since its 1u wider.

however since they do already have all those other 60% items, i guess its fair enough yea. so you can use those

[untold wigeon]

but yeah, let's just accept what they make for us

at least we have 2 options now

[old swallow]

oh im not complaining. ill probably get one anyways

[untold wigeon]

if u want small layout get the 60he v2

[old swallow]

but i was just wondering you know

[untold wigeon]

if u want 80% / tkl get the 80he

[untold wigeon]

i know

i'm also wondering

[old swallow]

but i already have 2 60HE's and an 80HE lol.

soooo yea.......

[untold wigeon]

why they don't make a new layout

[untold wigeon]

HAHAHHA

i might cop a venom 65 he tho

[old swallow]

i have got a QK65v2 Classic, the HE variant, but everything that isnt wooting i just hate using the software now lol

[untold wigeon]

venom software is not that bad

but still some bugs on other OS

[tropic urchin]

Venom software is fine

[ruby hill]

Next
65%
Venom65he/rog falchion ace HFX

jade skates do be nice

i have some on my mouse too

[tropic urchin]

I have it on my otsu pad rn

Crazy how slow cloth feels now

[stray tiger]

One of my fav sets ever

[sharp comet]

its look good

indeed

one of the better beige colors

[cyan lark]

Glad you're enjoying glass! It is very different, and I haven't tried yours in particular (I'm on wallhack) but I'm a lifer.

Has some downsides, but overall it's my favorite material I've used

[tropic urchin]

No dynamic friction is kind of a bitch, but it’s smooth af

[cyan lark]

By that you mean squishing down, right?

[tropic urchin]

Not squishing down, but it’s basically just you fighting yourself versus having the resistance of cloth

[cyan lark]

Sure, I meant more "dynamic" resistance

[tropic urchin]

I’m usually pretty light on my mice so I’ve never grinded into my pad much

[cyan lark]

I haven't used a softer cloth pad. Last cloth pad I used was a $5 pad from the early 2000's 🙂

[tropic urchin]

Maybe that’s what it means more

[fringe quarry]

40 🔥

[tulip rapids]

finna break my switch puller on these geon raws

[cyan lark]

Let's not let springs divide us

[cyan lark]

Bad news: if you ever have to pull the owls they're similarly aggressively tight

[fringe quarry]

45

just remove plate from pcb and push them out

[tulip rapids]

gg lol

[old swallow]

light springs are for the weak fingers? saying this sounds like something a weak fingerer would say.

wait, that doesnt sound right

[tulip rapids]

naw im rip that shit out

if the switch breaks it wasnt worthy of my strength

(just joking dont judge me)

[cyan lark]

I pulled my owls recently. Good news is they held together better than raws. Only lost one leg, no clips.

(went back to KoM POMs)

[old swallow]

i think i broke like 4 switches when i pulled out raw, i mean pulled out my raws a while back

[tropic urchin]

Toasty cooking

[tropic urchin]

Ive busted a few clips on owls tryna pull em

[cyan lark]

I thought I'd like 40g for gaming but it's so light, just couldn't handle it with my meatball hands

[tropic urchin]

42.5g is where it’s at unc

[marble sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/askb-bernardson-black-man-men-gif-23648216

[cyan lark]

Makes sense, I was surprised I didn't lose any with how much force I had to put into the process

[tropic urchin]

Fluxies still pristine

[fringe quarry]

getting them out of geon alu plate was easy af lowkey

[stray tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/bulking-not-sulking-no-pain-no-gain-protein-power-finger-training-work-out-gif-13768253

Need to get that finger game up!

[tropic urchin]

I got tired of taking apart benom from plate and I just removed fluxies surprisingly easy

[cyan lark]

Oh dude I've pulled hundreds of KoMs, 0 failures. Something about price and quality.

[tropic urchin]

I go to the gym to work out, if I wanted heavy resistance I would’ve stayed on Azoth

[cyan lark]

No shade on owls, for the price they're incredible

[tropic urchin]

Is it finger strength or is it a lack of finger discipline

[lyric nimbus]

i should get 100g switches

see how they feel

[stray tiger]

Testing the Flux on FR4 in the acrylic but had to use plate foam to tame them. Going to switch to aluminum later and try foam there too

[lyric nimbus]

every single switch is gonna feel like this

[tropic urchin]

I will say I wasn’t a huge fan of aluminum on flux

Very weird sound

[stray tiger]

Yeah they didn't sound bad on the PC plate in the 80HE. If I get some time I'll try them on a POM plate in one of the OG Frog's

[lyric nimbus]

[tropic urchin]

42.5g owlies on benom FR4 👀

[lyric nimbus]

WHERE ARE MY OWLIES

[fringe quarry]

sounds like keyboard

[lyric nimbus]

I NEED THEM!!!!!

[tropic urchin]

And you sound ignorant

[fringe quarry]

mine sounds better

[cyan lark]

I like it. How are you handling the lack of keys?

[tropic urchin]

It’s weird

[tropic urchin]

I put it on SOCD, focus mode and RT, and on 0.1mm with a slight amount of DZ it was popping off when I fully swapped everything

[cyan lark]

What's focus mode, DZ?

Deadzone?

[tropic urchin]

Focus mode is exclusive to benom

[cyan lark]

Don't have my benom yet 🙂

Gotcha

[tropic urchin]

Supposedly makes it even faster

Fluxies felt slow (might just be magnets), but owlab was popping with new springs

[cyan lark]

Oh is that increased polling/scanning for a few keys?

[tropic urchin]

I think so

[fringe quarry]

ye

[cyan lark]

I'd heard of something like that for some boards

👍

[tropic urchin]

Even on just 0.1mm actuation I was expecting more from fluxies since on Wooting it’s decently speedy, but just never got it

[cyan lark]

Weird. But it's better on owls?

[tropic urchin]

Didn’t sound the same or feel the same which is a shame

[tropic urchin]

Yeah, fluxies are my 80HE guilty pleasure and owlabs are going to stay on benom

[stray tiger]

This is flux on fr4 and plate foam

[tropic urchin]

Pretty happy with both

[tropic urchin]

I’ll take a look when I get home, discord won’t let the video play 🥀

@cyan lark Royal Benom build

[cyan lark]

60 really is such a pretty layout

It's like MSG for any build

[tropic urchin]

I need ronin to arrive bc this looks super alien with lazurite lol

[cyan lark]

Sure yeah, big rock kinda outsizes the small frame

[stray tiger]

Odd it's MP4 but doesnt embed. Might be a size issue.

Sometimes it's just to0* big. Or so I've been told

No need to brag my dude

Damn, got beat

ye that not embed vid lmao

[mossy river]

what if they let us do 0.01mm anything

[stray tiger]

Flux, FR4, Plate Foam, Acrylic case w/ no dampening

[ionic breach]

seems like the "ootin" is one piece of sticker or whatever that is

[mossy river]

give us a disclaimer that it may not work that well

[old swallow]

W🍑 ting

[cyan lark]

The kerning 🤓

[ionic breach]

i see, fr4 and flux

my worst nightmare

[cyan lark]

I still don't know if that word was created intentionally to fuck w/ people

Since it looks like keming

if the kerning is bad

[stray tiger]

Even with plate foam it's got a pretty good brightness to it

[fringe quarry]

camping

[tropic urchin]

You think benom sounds better with foam vs polyfill?

[ocean thorn]

Hi Wooting community
I buy some Switch but they are no pre-lubed so I want to buy a “all in set” do you have any good link or choice for me ?
Thx anyway for your help

[tropic urchin]

I might be anti poly for benom

[ionic breach]

which switch?

[cyan lark]

Owlab Ti HE is a good bet

Oh you're talking about a lubing kit?

[ionic breach]

most switches popular are all prelubed and well lubed at that

[ocean thorn]

TTC king magneto RGB

[stray tiger]

I think there is no better. Tooo many things come into play. I'm not one of never plate foam, never case foam, never PC plates, never FR4 plates, etc. I build each board to something I like or I'm feeling and I'll mix methods and configs until I get something I like for that build.

[ionic breach]

oh icic

yea u need to relube it

[cyan lark]

https://wooting.io/product/wooting-switch-lubricant-lube-set?Option=Wooting+Lubrication+set + a small brush from your local art store

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I’m starting to feel the same way imo

Maybe I give fluxies another chance

[ionic breach]

and a switch opener

[tropic urchin]

But I might bust more owlab clips

Makes me worried

[cyan lark]

Right yes, switch opener too.

[fringe quarry]

plate foam goated

[ionic breach]

or frankly u can buy just the 205G0 krytox by itself on aliexpress or any store in ur region

[stray tiger]

Just pull the plate off the PCB and pop them off. It's an extra 2min of time and saves all your switches

[ionic breach]

and the tools in the same place

[ocean thorn]

Thx ☺️

[stray tiger]

Its actually probably less time since youre not fighting with the switches

[ionic breach]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/ heres a list if ur against aliexpress

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I got lazy. Surprisingly fluxies survived the great pulling

[glacial wind]

what if the solution is natural selection. You just pull the switches as hard as possible and let natural selection happen

[tropic urchin]

That’s 100% what cam did

[stray tiger]

Survival of the fittest!

[glacial wind]

the strongest flux will survive

[old swallow]

flux you

[stray tiger]

The flux will 100% survive, they just may be limping a bit without a leg

[tropic urchin]

No legs were harmed in the making of this production

[cyan lark]

Don't forget a switch opener as Drakon mentioned. Wooting sells an alright one, though the Gateron one is IMO worth it if you think you'll ever do this again.

[ionic breach]

these makes me so hungry lmao

ill get some dimsum on the way to work tmr

[ocean thorn]

What about this set : https://amzn.eu/d/5vNDrQG

[ocean thorn]

What about https://amzn.eu/d/5vNDrQG

[ocean thorn]

It’s my first and I don’t wanna make a mistake

[ionic breach]

never seen that grease before, most likely works but cant confirm sry

[cyan lark]

Yeah IDK what the grease actually is, but otherwise it seems like a reasonable kit

The lubing station will make your life easier

[ionic breach]

these mofos are a buck piece and right under where i have my internship

[cyan lark]

as will the stem holder

[ionic breach]

by the end of my internship ill probably have consumed hundreds

[ocean thorn]

There more set naturally with grease 205g0

[ocean thorn]

I see they are on other set from the same brand but with grease 205g0

[stray tiger]

Here are 4 boards with TI's on them. 4 different plate materials / 3 different mounting methods / 3 different keycap types / 2 different case materials. All without foam. The mic is my work mic, so not ideal for recording keyboards but you can hear the differences.

[tropic urchin]

The one in the link makes me think it’s 105g grease, try this too https://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-JRX-205-Mechanical-Swiches-Stabilizers/dp/B09GVJ2NF5/ref=asc_df_B09GVJ2NF5

[ionic breach]

goddamn i like the rose gold and the green one a lot actually

both sounds great

[stray tiger]

Rose gold is PP plate, top mount, PBT keycaps, Green is FR4 plate, tadpole mount, ABS keycaps

[ocean thorn]

Thx ☺️

[ionic breach]

man i would like tadpole mount when i get the chance too

[ocean thorn]

Thx guy for the quickly Answer 👍 Top Community

[stray tiger]

We need a "sound test" sub-channel

[dreamy pollen]

i know that this question has probably been asked a million times here, but what switches would you recommend for wooting 80he?

[glacial wind]

Hrm ‘unique user builds and sound tests’ sounds like a section I should add to the site

It wouldn’t be for comparison necessarily but just to see what cool builds from the community sound like

oh my lord its like night and day with these owls

i love the 50g so much compared to 40g

only small negative about the owls is the white rgb doesnt shine as bright compared to geons but its a small price to pay when they feel and sound this good

Sound Tests (Consolidated)

40g springs 🤢

[little glen]

I think everyone can message in that thread

😶

[stray tiger]

They can for now. Im playing around with it

[little glen]

You can put all my sound tests there btw

I can search up the links for it if you want me to

[cyan lark]

We just need to ship a microphone and noise isolation setup to everyone providing sound tests now for accuracy

[little glen]

Also maybe add some disclaimers like mentioning that you cant directly compare sound tests from 2 different people, mic can change, environmental factors like desk surface etc

[cyan lark]

[teal dew]

Hi everyone,
What can I put on the bottom of a standard Wooting 60HE case instead of the stock foam? Any suggestions?

[glacial wind]

I forget who but there was a popular podcast that would do that by sending out gear to interviewees

[cyan lark]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ywjXQ_XP6o Yoga mat

(or whatever pleases you and is non-conductive)

[tulip rapids]

i use stock foam and it does great imo

[tidal frigate]

Or you can put american bread

at least it’s not the sweet sugar Korean/japanese bread

[tropic urchin]

F

[stray tiger]

If you want any of them added sure. I'll lay down some guidelines to make sure things like Case, Switches, Keycaps, Mods, etc are mentioned in the linked thread or the video description.

[little glen]

Oh yeah i‘m pretty sure mine have all the info in the file name

1 sec

[tidal frigate]

I hope so you won't get sick

[tidal frigate]

Maybe make your own bread

At home

Also american bread is too sweet anyway

[glacial wind]

it’s doc orders for med tests, can’t eat anything that shows up on scans so food options are very weird this week

[tulip rapids]

do you guys buy manson jars for your switches?

i need something to store my geons in

[ionic breach]

rip

[glacial wind]

Buy the mini cheapie containers at the budget stores

I have glass containers yea

Like whatever your local $2 store is called usually has stackable containers of some sort

Just store them in big karton box

Although those are huge

You probably don’t need containers quite that big

yeah just a picture from google

so i have an idea of it

i wanna show the switches off like how you guys do it

Those plus one of those ikea organizer board things is how I’ve seen a lot of people showcase collections

you can buy those on aliexpress for 10 bucks for 4

a lady who works at my company found it, so i dont have to spend a hundred on a whole set again

[stray tiger]

Oh and #3

[chilly mural]

nice bamboo, also a lot of 60%

[glacial wind]

Ah smart, if you lose your a7c ii you can buy the new Sony fx2 which is the same camera with a fan for way more money

[ionic breach]

im not going to lose my camera

tho imma lend it to my sister to film a documentary so i cant say things first

[glacial wind]

Thockfather knows what’s up. You need multiple Sony just in case you lose one

[ionic breach]

touch wood

just the mount for a accessory

[glacial wind]

If that mount was attached to the new Sony fx2 then it would be harder to lose

[ionic breach]

btw the things on the right are pellets i use for shooting airsoft for my cca

its crushed up tho and quite small, dk why it was added to the pic

[glacial wind]

I like that you can’t even escape tariffs in your photo

[ionic breach]

[chilly mural]

All of these camera talk makes me want one. Unfortunately, I have no funds.

[lyric nimbus]

i got the owlies

:)

[chilly mural]

nice

[lyric nimbus]

the easy mods are over

now time to make a custom case for the wooting two

[ionic breach]

ngl i want a camera bag, but i cant justify buying one

[glacial wind]

Isn’t the current trend to klarna/after pay and put yourself into awful crippling debt that should probably be not allowed

[chilly mural]

if you go to the arcade often, and record often, could be nice~

[chilly mural]

yeah, but I have no job, so I can't even pay the first installment lmao

[glacial wind]

that leica edition wotancraft 3.5l bag would go nicely

I think it’s a mere $500 for the finest Italian leather

Actually it’s leica and in Singapore so if you told me that bag was $600 I’d believe you

I couldn’t actually find it in their website to see how crazy leica was pricing it

[ionic breach]

i considered the one thockfather shared

but i just cant spend 100 one a slingbag rn

[glacial wind]

Wandrd roam sling?

[ionic breach]

their rouges

[glacial wind]

Yeah same bag, they had to rename it due to naming right issues iirc

Was roam now it’s rogue

I almost bought one in that sale they did recently lol

But going to hold off and buy a sling later I think. Not sure which one I want yet

[lyric nimbus]

the owlabs

sound significantly better

compared to the lekkers

[fringe quarry]

:O

[ionic breach]

when i no longer can use my current daily bag, ill get some from wandrd

[tropic urchin]

Everything sounds better than lekkers (maybe not everything since raeds exists)

[ionic breach]

their accessories are really nice

[glacial wind]

I’m also still split on backpack vs sling

[lyric nimbus]

cant wait to cnc mill a case now

[glacial wind]

I love slings for easy use and being small but backpacks are definitely better for back

[ionic breach]

i tend to alr have a full bag when going out

this is cause i bring my zinc wooting 80he to work

[glacial wind]

I kind of want a sling just for one camera and one lens quick grab and go setup though. Then it’s light enough that sling won’t hurt shoulder

[lyric nimbus]

here r the mods left to do

• cnc mill a case out of aluminum and get imitation ivory trimmings for the wooting two
• get one of those really nice looking cables
• masking tape mod
• make the escape key out of imitation ivory

[ionic breach]

https://wiredinstore.com/

[glacial wind]

The cable seems the easy part compared to the cnc mill lol

[tulip rapids]

the tikkens switches will be the ones to save us

[tropic urchin]

Never tried full travel so maybe I try them out

[tulip rapids]

i know i'll test them out

but these owlabs

[stray tiger]

If he has the 80HE, the WiredIn cables currently available dont support 8K so I would avoid them for now. I know they are looking into new cable materials to address it

[ionic breach]

oohh that would be cool

[tulip rapids]

You would have to pay me to lug around a zinc 80he to work every day in Singapore weather at the mrt station

[chilly mural]

ebony wood keycap, custom made wooden case painted with a specific black paint that piano uses, 100g spring, Gold accent/artisan.

[glacial wind]

That’s some army prep training to be backpack carrying that around Singapore humidity during the day

[ionic breach]

too bad my laptop's kb is broken on one side

[chilly mural]

Or you can spend $100-300k on a steinway with digitizer on it and have it translate midi into keyboard press.

[ionic breach]

wait

sticking gold wheels under the keyboard would be heat

[night atlas]

fire, what set is this?

[untold wigeon]

https://kbdfans.com/collections/other-accessories/products/kbdfans-m2-3-countersunk-flat-head-screw-kit

is this usable for 80he?

[stray tiger]

For custom plates?

[untold wigeon]

yepp

[stray tiger]

Yes

[untold wigeon]

and how much pcs do i need for 80he?

[fringe quarry]

what 😭

[untold wigeon]

2 sets would be enough right?

[stray tiger]

One pack is enough, even if its missing one lol

The shipping is what gets you so might as well order more than 1 if you plan to do another board later.

[trail bane]

Kek

[untold wigeon]

i might order 3 for in case

it won't cause any issues to the pcb right?

[stray tiger]

Nope, they are the same height as the stock ones

[untold wigeon]

alright

thank you

planning on making a custom pom plate & cf

about the foam set, i tried using the poron plate foam (gasket as well) but it feels odd...
If i cut the middle silicone (alpha keys) and replace it with alpha keys poron foam, will it make huge sound difference? or just stick with the normal silicone foam?

[untold wigeon]

keykobo sets are nice ngl

[trail bane]

EU?

[untold wigeon]

asia

[trail bane]

Bruh

[untold wigeon]

there is a famous custom plate maker here in my country

I don't need to pay shipping & tax

[trail bane]

Any companies that manufacture custom plates? EU

[stray tiger]

Looks like alhambra a bit

[lyric nimbus]

just me or

are keycaps hard as balls to pull out

from owlabs

[solar tundra]

Keycaps or Switches?

I heard the Switches are a bit harder

[lyric nimbus]

keycaps

the switches pull out from the plate

when i try to pull the keycaps

[solar tundra]

I just got UR Studio Ice Ultras, everytime i pull out the Key B the Switch come with it

[lyric nimbus]

so it isnt just me

[solar tundra]

I got PBTFans Keycaps

[marsh saffron]

My xrays aren't

And xrays to my knowledge usually aren't the easiest to remove..

[harsh dove]

Depends on the keycaps

for me personally, most of my PBT sets are harder to remove than any of my GMK sets

some of my PBT sets feel like they get cemented onto the switches

[lyric nimbus]

the owlabs ti makes the keycaps feel like they get cemented

when i tried pulling out the spacebar

[harsh dove]

Yeah I haven't had that issue unless using a PBT set

[lyric nimbus]

it ripped off the switch in the process

its the stock wooting PBT

[harsh dove]

Wooting PBT is pretty solid but yeah they feel tight too

[lyric nimbus]

so it is normal that the switches can rip off

[harsh dove]

Haha no, but it's normal that it feels tight with that set
