Crazy

[lyric nimbus]

aren't they umm

not compatible

[sacred elm]

Gateron what

[cyan lark]

Oil Kings are mech switches

[fluid ravine]

Uncompatible

[trail bane]

[fluid ravine]

Youre good

[stray adder]

😅

[calm pulsar]

king covered in oil, oiled king

[lyric nimbus]

yeah u need hall effect switches

[sacred elm]

Check Owlab Ti He switches

[lyric nimbus]

for HE keyboards

[fluid ravine]

@stray adder #🪛│modding_faq message

[lyric nimbus]

honestly idk if my spacebar stabilizer is

fucked up and evil

[calm pulsar]

@fluid ravine it worked
its still a 3.0 uber long pole switch, but full brack

[fluid ravine]

Holy shiz

Alr hurry up, I want sound test

[stray adder]

Trying to find as thocky switches as possible, considering building a Optimum Wooting keyboard 🙂

[lyric nimbus]

is this rattling sound

idk

[stray adder]

Thanks!

[sacred elm]

There is no "thocky" hall effect switch

[lyric nimbus]

also

[robust ether]

are keycaps alot easier then then case to do?

[stray adder]

Ah ok ok

[fluid ravine]

Tikken

[lyric nimbus]

keyboard sound isn't only determined by the switches

[fluid ravine]

Raeds

[calm pulsar]

raeds better

[lyric nimbus]

it's determined by a lot of shit

[fluid ravine]

Nah

STM lekker v1s

The real goats

[calm pulsar]

[fluid ravine]

Only ogs would know

[sacred elm]

@fluid ravine crazylight ETA is 12 😳 cant wait

[fluid ravine]

Can't believe that mod is still in the modding faq

[fluid ravine]

Shhiiii

[tropic urchin]

Binalmouse arriving today too 🥶

Leastx no good on glass

[lyric nimbus]

• what's the case made out of (aluminum? wood? plastic?)
• what's your plate made out of (FR4? aluminum? brass?)
• what are your keycaps made out of and what is the shape? (ABS? PBT?)
• what are your switches?
• what other mods do you have (masking tape? foam? etc.)

[calm pulsar]

im still on binjutsu bora v2

[lyric nimbus]

it's not just the switches that make a keyboard thock or clack

[tropic urchin]

Miao ahh mouse

[urban obsidian]

what are your insights about geon raw he and gateron jade pro?

[tropic urchin]

Owlab ti he

[sacred elm]

owlab ti he

[calm pulsar]

owlab ti he

[lyric nimbus]

owlab ti he

[sacred elm]

[calm pulsar]

so called free thinkers when owlab ti he

[trail bane]

Everything alr but please don’t try this combo🙏

[lyric nimbus]

i shall install

cherry mx browns onto my wooting

[trail bane]

Let’s make first tmr wooting

I think you should make a hole in your pcb for def mx switch first

[calm pulsar]

I just need an HE board that feels and sounds completely like HMX switches

[robust ether]

@sacred elm

[cloud pivot]

so a HE board that sounds shrill and sterile

[robust ether]

This right?

[fluid ravine]

Fr

[cloud pivot]

yeah they kinda already do that

[fluid ravine]

HE clack vs MX Clack is super different

HE can't compare

[cloud pivot]

hmx is bad

[calm pulsar]

id argue but you like fallout new vegas and I respect that

[cloud pivot]

this is not just my sentiment

[cloud pivot]

this is a general sentiment

[fluid ravine]

Hell yeeee

[trail bane]

Now you can remove sticker from your cable(optional) and put module into case

[cloud pivot]

literally every HMX sounds very uninteresting and homogenized

[little glen]

make sure to route the cable through the channel if possible

[robust ether]

wheres that

[little glen]

under your foam

[calm pulsar]

it could be the case but after being on HE for a long time I loved my hmx build

[thorn zealot]

It’s buzzin

[cloud pivot]

you should make a cherry build

[robust ether]

@little glen that bit?

[cloud pivot]

🚬

[calm pulsar]

im on mx blacks rn hehe

[cloud pivot]

yeah they are peak

i much prefer unfilmed cherry clacks to hmx

[calm pulsar]

mine are fully stock mx2a, its a nice experience, could maybe use some extra lube

[tawdry tree]

those screws are not in properly, I don’t even know if you’re supposed to use those screws

[calm pulsar]

but I think I hate rail bottom out personally

smth in it

[cloud pivot]

blasphemy

[calm pulsar]

[cloud pivot]

i hate lp so much because it just feels brutal

[little glen]

the recessed bit is for cable to be routed through it

[trail bane]

Oh fr

[cloud pivot]

the pole bottom out clack also drowns out a lot of switch characteristics

[little glen]

also make sure it isnt riding on the lip, that can cause issues

[robust ether]

does the top part of the case need to be screwed or clicked in

riding on the lip?

[calm pulsar]

I think my preference developed once I got my og wooting 60he with lekker v1s which I hated even before first jades were launched

so I liked long pole ever since lol

[cloud pivot]

you got raised on slop 😔

soon we will see a wave of vintage HE elitists praising ks-20 v1 wobble fr

just like cherry scratch

[robust ether]

IT WORKED

[calm pulsar]

yeah the purists will only respect lekkers which have "gateron" on them

[tawdry tree]

@robust ether remove the screws from the db

they’re the wrong screws..

[robust ether]

it worked

?

[tawdry tree]

no.

[cloud pivot]

vintage 2022 lekker v1s (authentic proof on 2022 wooting 2he production date)

[tawdry tree]

use the black ones that came with the gt-80

[cloud pivot]

and omnipoint v1s will be the new vintage 80' mx blacks

holy grail

both have hella stem wobble and are scratchy as hell

surprisingly similar

[tawdry tree]

they are the same..

[robust ether]

fixing it quickly

[tawdry tree]

😭

[calm pulsar]

and at that point gateron will still make jade pro recolors

[cloud pivot]

pretty sure omnipoint v1s are an earlier batch than lekker v1s no

[tawdry tree]

they’re an earlier batch

[cloud pivot]

iirc they even came without lube

[tawdry tree]

but no difference as far as I can tell

[cloud pivot]

#AUTHENTIC

[tawdry tree]

the omni points have a hole in the top housing for the LED as well

slight difference

[cloud pivot]

yeah it used tht leds

omega cursed

that should have stayed in 2019

😭

[tawdry tree]

@tidal frigate new ergo just dropped 💀 https://youtu.be/Eklg7CKs57A

[calm pulsar]

lmao

[robust ether]

switched the screws

[cloud pivot]

ergo crowd be doing all this to go back to a normal tkl 2 months later

i know because i was one

my wireless custom sofle w/ oled goes hard 🔥

ergo is cool but its still far removed from normalcy

[calm pulsar]

@cloud pivot lord forgive me but im disassembling these rbo 4.0mm travel hmx switches just to use their upper housing for another switch

[cloud pivot]

inb4 it aint fit

[calm pulsar]

it does fit

other one is also hmx made

[cloud pivot]

oh

thought you were gambling tolerances between different manus or smth

[calm pulsar]

nah im just autistic and want to make my geon extreme gaming mx switch fully black

[cloud pivot]

oh gawd you reminded me they exist

ngl i have pretty mixed feelings on them

[stray adder]

• what's the case made out of (aluminum? wood? plastic?)
  aluminium
• what's your plate made out of (FR4? aluminum? brass?)
  not sure tbh. I was thinking buying the Optimum bundle
• what are your keycaps made out of and what is the shape? (ABS? PBT?)
  PBT Plastic
• what are your switches?
  trying to find out this one
• what other mods do you have (masking tape? foam? etc.)
  at the moment, there is only the friction pad that’s included with the 60HE module, and I’m thinking about some masking tape

[trail bane]

Wata chatgpt quiz

[lyric nimbus]

im just

telling him what kinda shit determines the sound of a keyboard

and that switches alone won't get you a "thock" or a "clack"

[robust ether]

how do i get this bit to click down

because it wont

[fleet shoal]

open it an look if your foam fits good

i have the same case

and look at the cable in the left edge in the case,it have to fit

[robust ether]

theres none left

for that bit

its empty

i think its where the bit from the

cable from the othetr

board

[fleet shoal]

take the full part off, then put the bottom side first and then click the above site

[robust ether]

huh?

[robust ether]

wait

lemme

re take

@fleet shoal

thats why way i had the foam in

[fleet shoal]

take that piece off and take a foto without it

does your PCB fits good? let me see

[robust ether]

it fits fine

[fleet shoal]

ok now put the pcb in

[little glen]

when you put the module in, double check if the cable is in the channel or not

[robust ether]

?

[robust ether]

it is

the cable works

[fleet shoal]

send me the same pic as i did

[robust ether]

gimme a sec

to put it back on

[fleet shoal]

Put the module in it, look that the edgeds fits perfect in the places for it

[little glen]

what about the top

[robust ether]

the top didnt click properly

its like

mostly right side

[little glen]

is the module flush with the case

[robust ether]

flush?

[little glen]

The rubber piece

[robust ether]

wich bits

thats

[fleet shoal]

foto of the top side

does it fit ?

[little glen]

Also please unplug when you‘re working on it, makes it really hard to see when rgb is shining everywhere

[robust ether]

sorry

retook

[little glen]

Take out the rgb blocker

[robust ether]

is that

the middle bit

[fleet shoal]

could be the blocker. take the other RGB Blocker. it s nicer 😉

[sacred elm]

use their rgb blocker

[sacred elm]

its included in the box

[little glen]

this is causing issues for you

[trail bane]

Stock from 80he?

[sacred elm]

yea use this @robust ether

[robust ether]

?

[trail bane]

You can use only 1 from wich comes with gt80

[fleet shoal]

look here. put that original one from wooting away. take thatm which came with your gt 80 . an put it in the top cover

[little glen]

you can use either that OR the diffuser

[trail bane]

Depends what kind of bar you want

[robust ether]

whats the diffuser/

?

[little glen]

the rubber piece that selo and i have in

on the top part of the case

i am not using the light blocker as you can see in the picture i sent

[fleet shoal]

dies plastic piece in the cover.

[robust ether]

this?

[fleet shoal]

this should be the cover for the diffusor. you don t need this. put that other diffusor directly in your top cover

like here

[robust ether]

alr

[robust ether]

which other diffucer

?

[fleet shoal]

where do you order your GT80 Case?

in the box you have two different diffusors

[robust ether]

This one?

[robust ether]

yea

i got the other one

and it doesnt go on top of the rgb it goes in the little slit on the metal piece?

is that what you mean

[fleet shoal]

ok put the other one in the cover. not in the hole in your module

[fleet shoal]

take this off

[robust ether]

i did

and then put it in there?

[fleet shoal]

and put your s here like mine in the hole in the cover

[fleet shoal]

this place have to free

[robust ether]

?

[fleet shoal]

yeah now thake that piece of your module. look at my picture

[robust ether]

whats that

[fleet shoal]

you have the other piece here. take it of. you don t need it.

[robust ether]

is that for the other one

i took it

of

already

i did say

@fleet shoal

[fleet shoal]

ok. now try again to close the cover

[robust ether]

it worked

thanks

[fleet shoal]

yeah great

you had 2 diffusors in it. that was the problem.
Have fun with your keyboard

[robust ether]

@fleet shoal rq does this piece

matter

[fleet shoal]

this is only the cover for the second diffusor. you don t need that

[robust ether]

is there a way to dim the

bar

[fleet shoal]

thats like a dust cover

[robust ether]

but not the keys

[sacred elm]

yes, go in wootility and then light indicator

[fleet shoal]

yes with your wootility software

[sacred elm]

you can change the brightness or disable it

[robust ether]

ty

[fleet shoal]

mine is in german, but follow that way

[limpid sparrow]

Hey i am new and just open website to buy my new keyboard. Right now i am using Razer Blackwidow tournament chroma v2, and thining to upgrade to wooting 80he module ( its going to be frost with white caps), but i dont know which switches to get lekke switch v2 45 or 60 or others, usually i play league of legends and Cs2

[stray tiger]

You cant go wrong with either if choosing them as your included switch option. The only difference is the amount of force require to push down the switch. The 45's are slightly easier to press.

[limpid sparrow]

i was wonder because price different, i currently using green switch on razer and they are not removable, also can you tell me how much gona take to ship to bulgaria and is shipping free

[limpid sparrow]

hi if you free can you please answer me 🙂

[stray tiger]

I cant answer that question I'm sorry. The website should show you all the details that you need during checkout

[limpid sparrow]

thank you sir have a good day 🙂

[marble sierra]

[cyan lark]

Those purples would look nuts in my purple salv

[marble sierra]

Not a bad price for the 80% set too tbh

I feel like the case they come in would cost more alone in some parts of the world 🤣

[rugged flint]

Hey yall so I recently got my wooting60he. I bought the aluminum case with it and the gateron jades for the switches. I wanna mod the keyboard but I have no ideas on what kind of mods I should do to them. Any recommendations? Stabs? Lube? Different switches? I want it to sounds wayyyy thockier potentially.

[knotty iron]

try a tape mod with 2-3 layers! I would also suggest getting a friction fit pad and screwing in at least 1 screw if you use a metal case with no grounding sponge (IE Alumaze or Tofu60 Redux)

[tropic urchin]

@calm pulsar

[cloud pivot]

inb4 they have fitment issues with switches

or even worse, crooked stab keys

would be hella fun straightening titanium out 🥶

[calm pulsar]

damn the set is nice

I think like mj had

[calm pulsar]

its cool and all but I prefer plastics

[tropic urchin]

Imagine using blastics

[rugged flint]

Any recommendations on the stabilizers? They’re kinda mid rn

[tropic urchin]

If ** used the set, chalk the keycap set

[thorn zealot]

Yeah and I’m already lookin at a new kb to get 🥀

Ima get gmk for it this time

[knotty iron]

best beige

[calm pulsar]

gmk simply better

[cloud pivot]

☝️

kkb bestest though

if they have what you want

[calm pulsar]

kkb are great too, same way of doing double shot, sound and feel very close

legends are crisp too

[cloud pivot]

effectively same for me

[tropic urchin]

Weird way of saying GMK betterest

But ok

Pop off MX KKB stan

[cloud pivot]

i know sopme people say kkb sounds more shrill but i hear no diff

[sweet oak]

Nothing better than exploded caps

[cloud pivot]

i love potato trays disintegrating

[calm pulsar]

[little glen]

i never had the exploded caps problem

[thorn zealot]

I already have crp and want to switch it up u know

[cloud pivot]

nuh uh

all you need is beige

or wob

[thorn zealot]

Nuh uh

[calm pulsar]

black snail beige kits are nice too (saying that purely cause I have em )

[thorn zealot]

Tuan has em too but can’t use em

[calm pulsar]

wait he got black snail beige ones??

[thorn zealot]

Yeah but they arrived when he traveled across half the world

my only MX pcb that I have is in luminkey lx60

most people here are j*bless anyways

[calm pulsar]

imagine having a j*ob

[glacial wind]

I don’t get people who don’t instant mute every server

you still get the notification icon but no sound ping

[cloud pivot]

yeah this aligns with my general policy for push notifs as well

i dont need them til i do

so i just turn them off until i need em

delivery, j*b communications, etc

[thorn zealot]

Pls tell my sis this🙏

[cyan lark]

I'll be dead long before I need push notifications from the Wooting Discord Server

[thorn zealot]

Everyday I hear that damn disc notif

[cloud pivot]

i think more people should start adopting this tbh

being spammed with promotional push notifs from apps you dont need is kinda tiring

[glacial wind]

actually youtubers who use the discord notification sound also suck

that just annoys me enough to not watch them anymore lol

[cloud pivot]

well it still holds up so w/e

[calm pulsar]

[stray tiger]

@calm pulsar so what you brought you back to the dark side?

[lyric nimbus]

i NEED an answer...

[glacial wind]

he has a proposal for a new 10u spacebar

[tropic urchin]

He has returned to improve morale for tsangan 60HEv3

[stray tiger]

There is no answer here. It depends on how tight you turn the screws and 100 other variables

[cloud pivot]

6.25u bottom row is peak sorry not sorry

[lyric nimbus]

so if i tie them like slightly loosely

[cloud pivot]

i only like tsangan for the split rshift and bs

[lyric nimbus]

it should last like at least 5 times

[cloud pivot]

those two have much more of a quality of life impact than the bottom row

[tidal frigate]

When 20u spacebar

[cloud pivot]

6u spacebar bestest

[calm pulsar]

went to therapy, they said I can't be saved so I still like 7u

but I might get 60hev2 for the sake of Tikkens and also installing something in my frog mini

[stray tiger]

It will last dozens of times if you don't overtighten. I wouldn't stress too much. Tighten them down until you get resistance and then give it 1/2 turn more.

[cloud pivot]

pretty sure tikkens will just be available separately

[calm pulsar]

but jokes aside just missed this channel hehe

[lyric nimbus]

awesome

ok yeah that's way more than enough

i was just scared of fucking up the plastic case

[stray tiger]

It's ok to say you missed me. I missed you too

[lyric nimbus]

before i finish making a case out of aluminum

[young current]

whats the difference between jade pros and the owl ti he? are the jade pros faster?

[tidal frigate]

@calm pulsar my leaks were right

[sacred elm]

Stem wobble

[stray tiger]

@polar girder yes my picks are 💀

[calm pulsar]

yeah but im from russia and buying wooting stuff is costly here, so buying only the tikkens might be not worth it

[lyric nimbus]

will placing a sandwich pad like this work

[stray tiger]

When he says leaks, he is referring to his need for diapers

[cloud pivot]

y tho

ur gonna go through the same pain buying 60hev2 anyways

[tidal frigate]

I didnt know you are that old

[young current]

im not familiar with mods yet, what do they mean by stem wobble and is it really that bad?

[calm pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-crying-meme-cry-marti-xmellow-gif-22988886

[stray tiger]

No. You need the silicone pad for friction mounting and adding an additional pad will not work

[stray tiger]

I have underwear older than you!

[lyric nimbus]

it's for the wooting two

[sacred elm]

Jade Pros have worse stem wobble than Owlab Ti's. Also Owlab switches are cheaper.

[calm pulsar]

what leaks

[stray tiger]

Ohh then ignore my comment lol sorry

[tidal frigate]

You have to figure out

[lyric nimbus]

so it'll work

[stray tiger]

I do not own a 2HE so Im not the best one to answer that one 😦

[lyric nimbus]

as long as i create holes

oh ok

[stray tiger]

I see you are still using my old photo and not my new one

[calm pulsar]

we now require leaks to understand what leaks Jakubix found

[cloud pivot]

holy unc

I think you need to email wooting and ask them, I doubt youll get any help here, almost nobody uses two he in this channel

[tropic urchin]

Aka his Intel is 💩

[tidal frigate]

It is not u tho

[stray tiger]

Oh but it is

[tropic urchin]

LMFOAOOO

[tidal frigate]

Are you

[lyric nimbus]

i am sobbing

and crying

where is my 100% gang

[sacred elm]

Its not about 100%, 2HE design is just outdated and impossible to mod, so nobody really bothers

[stray tiger]

<--- also a dinosaur but AI thinks I look similar lol

[lyric nimbus]

man

[tidal frigate]

It is possible to mod, but it is expensive to do

[lyric nimbus]

im at an engineering university

[stray tiger]

Its not outdated, but it is harder to mod as full-sized isnt based on a universal standard like 60% for example

[lyric nimbus]

so i have all the shit to mod it

[stray tiger]

Your foam will likely work as long as its not blocking anything.

[lyric nimbus]

ok

cool

time to make my keyboard sound ever so thockier

[calm pulsar]

im taken if that's what you're asking

[lyric nimbus]

when i make the aluminum case it's gonna be the wooting two to rule them all

[stray tiger]

I think someone in this chat has already done it, but it's been a few years.

[calm pulsar]

I think I saw some oil prince looking two he, with gold keycaps and custom case

[lyric nimbus]

🖕

[calm pulsar]

lol I was expecting this

@stray tiger do Tikkens bottom out on stem or rails? I need to know

[lyric nimbus]

you know what

now all of you are gonna have to see this

[tidal frigate]

Wasabi has one. Ask him to dissassemble it

[stray tiger]

Sorry can't talk about the internals yet

[marble sierra]

There's always one

[tawdry tree]

bro was expecting more for sure

[calm pulsar]

all right all right

[marble sierra]

We have a few Bruno's in here and only one spelt "Brun0" 🤣

[calm pulsar]

going back to the vid they seem stem bottom out, so I hope for that

[cloud pivot]

rail >

[marble sierra]

I wonder

haha

[tawdry tree]

we need ow discord roles

👀

[cloud pivot]

this is cornball asf

[marble sierra]

I mean discord is linked so they'd know if he bought one right? So future sweepstakes would get stopped or am I wrong

[tawdry tree]

surely

[marble sierra]

@uneven cradle Is that how the discord and Wooting site works?

[tawdry tree]

I doubt it matters much tbh

it could be that he was disappointed and returning would cost him quite a bit

[marble sierra]

"Ordered as part of the first sweepstake but have decided to wait for the 80HE version to come out, hence the sale."

[tawdry tree]

🤷‍♂️

[marble sierra]

I wanna bid high to see the reserve price and then cancel my bid

[calm pulsar]

👹

[low coral]

I don't get why he doesn't return it? It hasn't been 30 days since it came out, no? 🤔 sus

[uneven cradle]

Not the kind of information I know sorry

[marble sierra]

To try make profit I'd assume

[uneven cradle]

But one would assume so

[low coral]

Oh it's a bidding, I thought it was fixed price, fair

[tawdry tree]

Either to make a profit or to not lose as much. The return shipping from UK to NL is prob quite a bit.

[marble sierra]

@tawdry tree I could make another Owlab and see if that one has issue too with the back slider 🤣

[low coral]

Really? they are super close. Unless there is some customs complications there

[tawdry tree]

UK = not eu anymore

EU*

[lyric nimbus]

oh yeah

how do yall clean the plate

is it just take out all the keycaps -> wipe it down

[tawdry tree]

you can tilt the board on its side and shake it a few times while holding the vacuum cleaner at the edge 😂

[cloud pivot]

or just dont

gamer gunk gives the board sovl

[lyric nimbus]

NO

[cloud pivot]

its like relicing guitars

very sovlful

[calm pulsar]

nah keycap shine is like relicing guitars

[low coral]

I usually use one of those blowers for electronics, same I use for my PC, since I mostly have dust

[calm pulsar]

gunk is gunk on guitars as well

[cloud pivot]

true

although i hardly ever clean my fretboard gunk either

:PPP

[calm pulsar]

based

[cloud pivot]

(it doesnt rot though)

[odd grove]

Hey guys, im looking at the 60he + module and was wondering if anyone has good keyboard case recommendations

[calm pulsar]

maple fretboard?

[cloud pivot]

rosewood

so its already hard to see to begin with

i do plan on getting a scalloped finished maple neck to not gaf about fretboard gunk altogether

[calm pulsar]

I got ebony for the first time so not sure how it'll go in terms of gunk

[cloud pivot]

probably even harder to see than rosewood

do still clean it fairly regularly tho or rot/warping incurs

i do mine every 6 months, the equivalent of roughly two string changes

[lyric nimbus]

i wanted to make a case out of ebony

[calm pulsar]

what guitar you've got👀

[cloud pivot]

MIM strat with warmoth neck

i played out the frets on the neck it came with

and refretting is more expensive than just buying a warmoth neck so :ppp

[calm pulsar]

ohh warmoth is nice
I had a 97 MIM strat while i waited for a custom guitar and later found out the strat has a neck warp, rip

so had to sell it

[cloud pivot]

yeah unfortunate, guitars can be so volatile

warmoth is very poggers though thankfully

[thorn zealot]

I’ve escaped

[fluid ravine]

[quartz galleon]

[thorn zealot]

Not happenin anytime soon

[quartz galleon]

I just don't like the feel of 3.4-3.5mm bottom out

Anyway did you cheer some teams?

[sacred elm]

FaZeUp

[chrome vault]

i can't seem to find a manual calibration option, what are we supposed to do when swapping out switches?

is there no option

[uneven cradle]

It auto calibrates, manual selection coming

[chrome vault]

okay, the switches i have are these https://shop.wuquestudio.com/products/ws-flux-switch

shouldn't be any problems right?

[uneven cradle]

Well I personally wouldn't recommend them due to the price and QC issues. But Wooting is actually the only board I believe that actually supports them properly at the moment without issues

[chrome vault]

i already have them lol

D sent me them

didn't have to pay anything

haven't heard of QC issues tho, what problems are known?

[uneven cradle]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[chrome vault]

none of mine seemed to break or bend

but how do i check the magnets?

[sacred elm]

There wont be manual calibration for these, but auto calibration works fine on wooting

[uneven cradle]

They break when you remove them

[chrome vault]

i had them in my venom before i swapped back to my wooting

none broke

i think people might be too rough

need a womans touch ig

😭

[uneven cradle]

Just bad QC even D admits that. Can't really check the magnets but don't need to worry about the magnet strength has issues on venom but no issues on Wooting

Something about some of the springs not being demagnetized properly

[chrome vault]

ohhhh

that makes sense

i'm excited for the lekker tikkens

[sacred elm]

Wooting has auto calibration

[uneven cradle]

I believe venom does too just maybe not as dialed in to detect those flux variations

[chrome vault]

probably going to sell my tofu wooting build and just get the 60hev2

venom is a good PCB but not being able to turn off 8k was a dealbreaker for me

some of these lan PCs are mega dookie

[polar girder]

They just best Faze and made it to top 16 of Major (biggest tournament this year)

I just need heroic and B8 to win tomorrow and I’m chilling for Pick’ems

Crazy there’s still hope for me lol

[rich phoenix]

Anyone know where I can order a few (4) foam plate gaskets?

Ended up cutting mine up to make a hybrid mount and wouldn’t mind having some spares. Preferable wooting specific ones.

[thorn zealot]

didnt they go through an entire year without losing a single game

[cobalt oxide]

What are the best switches rn

Been using the l45s for awhile but they’re getting a bit worn out

Are the jades the smoothest / thockiest?

[vocal idol]

Raeds

[sacred elm]

No

There is no "thocky" hall effect switch

Owlab Ti is the go to option right now. Good stem wobble, clean sound, affordable.

[uneven cradle]

87-0 without dropping a map

222 day win streak

[polar girder]

Without dropping a single map?

[thorn zealot]

close enough

i saw some of their old clips

looked like they were smurfin on t1 teams back then

[sacred elm]

Because they were the first team to play csgo

and they were actually smurfing

[cloud pivot]

ayo having 4mm switches on stab keys

smart

that way you dont have to use spacers to fix seesawing

[rich phoenix]

The jades are more marble like. Like if you ever played around with mahjong tiles its literally what they sound like. I like them but it depends on the person and sound signature your looking for.

[cobalt oxide]

Thx fellas

I appreciate the insights

When I built my tofu 60 there weren’t so many switch options lol

[rich phoenix]

I had long pole stabs but hated them. One because they were durock and two because when typing fast it always felt like I didn't have enough travel. Thanks for recommending the WS Stupids btw. They feel great and don't need stablizer foam.

[cloud pivot]

im kinda surprised you didnt find the oddly silent spacebar weird but yea np

personally they creeped me out so i moved onto knight v3s

no rattle and fairly normal stab sounds

[rich phoenix]

Those where the days. The options were either the Jades or Ks20s. I think the closest we had to a thocky switch was just getting jades and adding film. Then over lubing the heck out of them.

[cloud pivot]

jades are filmable? 🤨

[thorn zealot]

no he switches are filmable

or atleast not well

[cloud pivot]

not quite tbh ive had a few jades with loose top housings

perhaps the old ones had bad tolerances and are filmable

[thorn zealot]

i have some black jades somewhere i could try tx films if u want

[rich phoenix]

If I remember correctly you could just jam it in there. It works? But i think overlubing was what got the sound signature down.

[cloud pivot]

black jades?

wot

[rich phoenix]

What are black jade? Are they like jad maxes or something?

[thorn zealot]

they are shit and i regret buying em

[cloud pivot]

i didnt even know black jades were a thing

[tropic urchin]

Black jades are just OG jades recolor, nothing fancy

[thorn zealot]

they were rly old and are rly bad https://backspace.zone/products/black-jade-switch

[cloud pivot]

somehow ive never even heard of this back then

[thorn zealot]

heres what they sounded like

[cloud pivot]

ONE DOLLAR EACH

😭😭😭😭

[thorn zealot]

ik prob my worst kb purchase ever

[tropic urchin]

Thocky 🔥

[cyan lark]

Fluxies laugh at $1/sw

[cloud pivot]

65 of those for a tsangan build could probably buy me 3 nice steak dinners

[cyan lark]

Damn steak dinners are cheap where you are

[rich phoenix]

That's what the normal jades sound like. So yea if your don't dig that tone then go for the owlabs Ti

[cloud pivot]

i would say tis are better at clacking tbh

not as shrill because the tolerances are tight, but the overall sound signature is cleaner

[thorn zealot]

yeah they already in my he build

[rich phoenix]

Wait just listen to some owlab TI

[thorn zealot]

i went from those jades to raws then ti he

[cloud pivot]

raws 💀

[rich phoenix]

yea @cloud pivot is right it be a clatter box too.

[thorn zealot]

this is basically my final he build

[cloud pivot]

i didnt like raws factory lubing

felt off

[rich phoenix]

Overlubed? Or just dry?

[cloud pivot]

"polyfill" 😭😭😭

[cloud pivot]

the latter i think

it had this weird sluggish sticky feeling at the top

[thorn zealot]

rather use that then foam

[cloud pivot]

fair

[rich phoenix]

Sticky is usually a sign of overlubing. So thats weird. When I was trying to chase the "thocky" jade tone I remember putting enough in a switch that it would slowly creap upwards.

[cloud pivot]

merino wool > polyfill > foam though imo

[rich phoenix]

Felt and Wool sounds good but I hate when I try to clean the board and the inside is just covered in tiny hairs.

[cloud pivot]

hard to find thick merino wool though

[rich phoenix]

Like EVERYWHERE

[sacred elm]

Raws are sticky at the top, its a design flaw

[cloud pivot]

even i am not sticky at the top

i sh*wer daily

my hair is lush

[sacred elm]

ok

[cloud pivot]

raws L

[thorn zealot]

i just tried filmin does jades and they dont work🥀

i might as well through em in the trash or some

[cloud pivot]

idk maybe save them for a project

diy hardwired HE board 😈

[thorn zealot]

too much work for he

im all in mx rn

[cloud pivot]

[thorn zealot]

what u think of kailh bcps btw

[cloud pivot]

rubber dome > mx > he for me outside of gaming

[cloud pivot]

imo they feel the exact same as the og bcp

[rich phoenix]

RUBBER DOME..... Im going to faint

[cloud pivot]

not membrane rubber domes

topre rubber domes

those are premium domes that are much more consistent and have a wider tactility range

although i would prefer membrane rubber domes to certain mx builds too tbh

shit like old prebuilts with mx clears and steel plates

= fingers vaporized

[tawdry tree]

@sacred elm

[thorn zealot]

so good

[cloud pivot]

not rly tbh i still dislike long poles

[sacred elm]

@tropic urchin get ready for superior hall effect switch made by Gateron

Gateron will save us

but if one wants bcp they are effectively a good experience

aint holding my breath for gat

grain gold clears

[sacred elm]

im trying to get some leaks

[cloud pivot]

tecsee gel pads clear the hardest though

[tawdry tree]

raedssss

[cloud pivot]

raeds suck

[cyan lark]

raeds on top

[cloud pivot]

very sterile domes

tecsee gel pad tactile version uses snappy domes

[tawdry tree]

propagandist.

[cloud pivot]

that still feel light

[cloud pivot]

erm they are the exact same except gel pads have the option of stronger domes lol!!!

no really

the aeboards logo is even on them

[tawdry tree]

raeds will have stronger domes

bro

[cloud pivot]

only in us of a bro

everyone else can grab gel pads off ali for the price of chopped liver

well, most*

oh you said domestic

i thought you meant domestic power because better sales through better accessibility or something

[tawdry tree]

fucking autocorrect

gel pads have naevy domes

or a recolor of that

[jade storm]

lil mj

[cloud pivot]

nuh uh all same

[tawdry tree]

raeds will have stronger proper domes for sure though

[tidal frigate]

Lekker raeds soon

[tawdry tree]

imagine

[cloud pivot]

those aftermarket domes aeboards selling later will be swappable onto gel pads too

[tawdry tree]

ofc

gel pads are raed recolors

their ec and magnetic ones are funny

[cloud pivot]

wdym lol i am nowhere near as insufferable as that gremlin

[tawdry tree]

still not sure what the purpose of those is exactly

[cloud pivot]

"hmm i got bored of my venom, time to upgrade to a cipulot pcb"

[jade storm]

he was never the same after he twinkified himself

[cloud pivot]

i would like to think he was always insufferable

[cloud pivot]

as in i grabbed both tecsee linears/tactiles and the linears felt the same as raeds

minute differences in housing acoustics but not enough to matter personally

[jade storm]

nah he was chill in boardzycord

[cloud pivot]

"chill in boardzycord" means differently everywhere else

u know that rite

[rich phoenix]

..... Good or bad idea to drop 50 bucks to kbf and get pcb stab pads and switch pads.

[cloud pivot]

god i wouldnt touch that place with a 10 trillion foot pole

[thorn zealot]

everyone in boardzycord is on another level of the spectrum

[cloud pivot]

switch pads are a meme, stab pads i recommend

probably somewhere cheaper though

still i very much like them

[jade storm]

true...

[rich phoenix]

Silcone or foam?

[cloud pivot]

if you get the properly thin ones and apply them correctly, they sound very clean and have no mush

[rich phoenix]

I'll probably just amazon it like last time.

[cloud pivot]

that has been my experience with the umm

let me find pic

[cloud pivot]

yeah i had these

they werent made out of foam i think

[jade storm]

@cloud pivot you seem chill

[cloud pivot]

i AM chill

[jade storm]

can i ask you how to build my next board?

sorry im trying to keep my inner rubber dome beast in check

[rich phoenix]

Oh I've seen these. They're made of like almost a foamy rubber.

[jade storm]

also how do you type so fast

[cloud pivot]

idk

im literally typing on phone btw

[jade storm]

chill out

your fingies too fast

[cloud pivot]

thats what my ex said

[jade storm]

not mine

:/

[cloud pivot]

i think the 0.3mm poron ones are great if you want to absolutely silence stab bottom out sounds

but i like these because they clean up the sound just enough

[rich phoenix]

Would it make sense when the WS Stupids have a silicone dampening layer already?

[sacred elm]

@tawdry tree 3.5mm

[cloud pivot]

not on bottom out

the TPU inserts are only inside the housing and the wire clip

aka the two places where rattling/ticking occurs

[tawdry tree]

because of poll, as if they go by that 😭

[rich phoenix]

Oh they're not even that expensive. 7 bucks for 20.

[sacred elm]

New molds confirmed basically, so no more jade pro recolor 😃

[tawdry tree]

no “new” materials, no 4mm

[cloud pivot]

will they cook tho

[tawdry tree]

what the fuck is gonna be the difference?

quad rails??💀

[cloud pivot]

the difference is that it will make you buy raeds/gel pads faster

or whatever grain gold will cook

quad rail would be hilarious though ngl

imagine the binding issues

[tawdry tree]

you wouldn’t even be able to press them down 😭

[tawdry tree]

😭😭

[cloud pivot]

omg u fucking predicted it

ROFL

[tawdry tree]

I hope I fucking didn’t man

but it seems the most likely

or something like those qians

[cloud pivot]

by only 10 mins too

[tawdry tree]

or unionwells

[cloud pivot]

yiqians have something special?

[tawdry tree]

it’s gateron man 😭

[tawdry tree]

not yiqians, qian or something

drunkdeer’d shit

raeshas

[cloud pivot]

oh so oddball territory

damn

[tawdry tree]

I highly doubt gateron would ever attempted something like that though

[cloud pivot]

i just read it and what the fuck

[sacred elm]

But that doesnt improve wobble tho

[tawdry tree]

and if they do, it’d be worse than quad rails for sure

[cloud pivot]

they want to isolate and transfer the wobble to the keycap feel?

what

[tawdry tree]

kinda does

sorta

[cloud pivot]

that would feel horrible

[tawdry tree]

it improves the magnet wobble in theory

[cloud pivot]

at the expense of fucking up keyfeel

[sacred elm]

Maybe, but not physical wobble

[cloud pivot]

ts aint it i fear

[tawdry tree]

just separating the keycap/stem wobble from the magnet

[cloud pivot]

something in their material said transferring

[tawdry tree]

what else could it be

we know gateron believes dual rails actually do something

so why not 😭

[cloud pivot]

more guardrails = more better

[tawdry tree]

yeappppp

[cloud pivot]

same thought process as US traffic planners

more lanes more better

[sacred elm]

lol idk, now im curious what is it

there is a chance its another boring switch

[cloud pivot]

they did seem to get 4mm td way before tikkens were announced though

so thats

something....

[tawdry tree]

I’m betting on quad rails or something along those lines (which is worse than another boring switch)

[cloud pivot]

wdym boring

i would consider unusable to be pretty not boring

[tawdry tree]

open bottoms 😭

[cloud pivot]

[cloud pivot]

wait isnt it closed

or am i blind

GUH

[tawdry tree]

for gat, yeah

[thorn zealot]

watch em do some dum like 2 mini rails on both sides

[tawdry tree]

oh, yeah the qians are

[cloud pivot]

yeah they got 4mm td closed bot 2 months before tikkens announcement

lowk goated

[tawdry tree]

raesha tecsee ttc

[cloud pivot]

rest of the switch is gimmicky thingamajigs though

[tawdry tree]

all interesting

hejin too

gateron not so much
