[tranquil iris]

Ah okay my last questions about the Lighting is the sound profile (if you know) and doesn’t boxed stem switch are less "smooth" because the walls are rubbing against the housing

[sacred elm]

Isnt KOMs bottom out flux 480 or something

[tawdry tree]

It might not be fake exactly, they might measure differently to get to crazy numbers like that.

[quasi hinge]

Anyone know why 900 vs 700?

Sorry Im still confused

[sacred elm]

Cant tell, I havent tried them yet but they sound like ice ultras, deep clack sound profile

[glacial wind]

Lightning are deeper by a little bit

[tawdry tree]

Raw HEs at 700 or so didn’t reach full actuation for quite some time, even with the 80HE. Kailh Astrals (advertised at like 3000 💀) only actuated until 2.3mm or so.

[sacred elm]

3000??

[tawdry tree]

Idfk what manus are doing honestly

take that number with a salt mine

[tranquil iris]

Ok ty!

[tranquil iris]

You have them ? So are switches with those boxed stems prone to be less "smooth"

[glacial wind]

Yeah I do

Box stem will always be felt a bit but doesn’t mean it’s not smooth

Just depends how you use it and if you notice it at bottom out

[tranquil iris]

Ah okay are they your favorite ones ?

[glacial wind]

You trade that box stem feel for better bottom out stability basically

[glacial wind]

I prefer my hand lubed ttc poms, but sound isn’t big factor for my gaming board

And I like clack anyway

[tranquil iris]

Yeah sound isn’t a factor for me too. The ttc poms look nice but 90€ is too expensive and like you did I heard you NEED to lube them

[sacred elm]

@glacial wind sooah is such a rat, cant choose a side smh

[fallen pecan]

Ur ultras sound nicer to me

[quasi hinge]

Is wooting’s board just more or less sensitive

Or is there no difference between 900 and 700

900 is just magnet strength

[glacial wind]

Yeah hand lubing is annoying for some, if cost and that is a factor for you then just get the phylina lightning pink

They’re pretty good anyway even if not my absolute favourite

[glacial wind]

It helps the aura farm

[tawdry tree]

Woot’s boards seem to have a higher overhead to account for stronger magnets rather than weaker.

Raw HEs are 700 or so, so for all the boards Raw HEs work well with, so should Duhuks.

Or whichever switch it was that listed 700/900 as well.

[glacial wind]

Shafie finding out why itaewon class is a goated k drama

[sacred elm]

fire

[quasi hinge]

Wonder why they recommended the 900 over the 700 for wooting then…

[glacial wind]

This is your gateway drama that will get you into the revenge plot drama with Reborn Rich next in your drama list

[tawdry tree]

Probably because 900 works for sure and 700 is close to being not optimally compatible like the Raw HEs have been numerous times now (it did get fixed every time through a firmware update but still). It could be that the initial flux is different compared to the Raw HEs too, which might be it actually.

[quasi hinge]

Ty

[tawdry tree]

Duhuks have a protruding magnet so the magnet position is probably a bit different compared to the Raw HEs, and thus the initial value can also be a bit different.

Do they list the initial values anywhere?

[quasi hinge]

Moment

[fallen pecan]

The manu recommends the 900 for wootings, they’re just letting you know

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, it’s the initial value for sure.

This is that of the Raw HEs. ^

[quasi hinge]

Then here you can choose 700 or 900

[tawdry tree]

It being 140 when it’s already the strongest option..

700g will be quite a bit less than that.

[quasi hinge]

So this is a decent switch

[tawdry tree]

Oh to buy? Yeah man, 900

[quasi hinge]

**for a pink option

Cheers, yeah got the 900

Buddy getting them for his partner sight unseen

Thanks for the explanation

[quasi hinge]

She will use it as long as its pink lol

Pink tofu redux

Right now she is using s pink spray painted og plastic case lol

[tawdry tree]

my disc half crashed cause of the reactions menu

fuck disc

[quasi hinge]

looooooool

[tawdry tree]

it looks decent but pink tofu will be an upgrade for sure 😂

[quasi hinge]

Pretty decent lol

For a ‘janky’ setup

[tawdry tree]

I can never get painted plastic to last long, it always chips quite fast

[quasi hinge]

Served well temporarily

[quasi hinge]

Never even tried, cant imagine it would be good

[tawdry tree]

dye better 🥰

[quasi hinge]

Looks nice!

[tawdry tree]

too light for the keycaps imo

[quasi hinge]

How did you do that?

[tawdry tree]

but it’s not too bad

[tawdry tree]

lemme find the link

[quasi hinge]

Reminds of those classic N64 controllers

[fluid ravine]

What vid?

[tawdry tree]

it’s called iDye poly

got a pack from amazon

they got loads of colors too but not sure how well others will work

[fluid ravine]

Black is so sexy here esp with the black cf blockers

$150 bare bones

[cloud pivot]

spraycoating is so cringe in the big 25 tbh

[fluid ravine]

[cloud pivot]

anodizing services are like abundant now

oh nvm this is the wooting case

mb

[quasi hinge]

100%

he even has a spare maroon tofu redux and she preferred the pink spray painted one

[cloud pivot]

could have just reanodized that one

ts pmo

i hate ecoat cases because im fidgety and i tend to touch them and they tend to melt over time

[quasi hinge]

Maroon is anondized

Pink is e coat

[cloud pivot]

yeah ik

and i said they should have reanodized it

because there are many services for such now and there are no risks involved

[quasi hinge]

Yeah logistically harder

[cloud pivot]

god i love aluminium sm

[quasi hinge]

Plus cost is the same

[cloud pivot]

can be reanodized whenever

and easy to machine

goat keyboard material

[quasi hinge]

Locally here not too many options

One guy here is the goat

Had mine done

Machine milled and cerakoted

[cloud pivot]

this is so goated

ive been meaning to cerakote some of my boards as well but cerakoting services are fairly rare here in south korea

[quasi hinge]

I almost had mine done in the us as there are many but they are usually gun cerakoters with little keyboard experience

I kept searching and was lucky to find a guy who does anything custom to keyboards himself

Works with even high end boards and does fantastic work

My cerakote paint job is still AAA

[cloud pivot]

i miss independent designers like those

used to be way more back then, even before the pandemic hit

[quasi hinge]

Dying breed

[cloud pivot]

dead hobby too

https://tenor.com/view/sad-steam-steam-sad-gif-9524752141311518885

at least we still got geon

goated design principle/language and runs his own cnc mill

[quasi hinge]

At least we got wooting

[cloud pivot]

i was talking more about the mx kb scene

geon cases are just so amazing

[quasi hinge]

https://youtu.be/hUbKhUBs6XI?feature=shared

This is gonna make people mad lol

[cloud pivot]

i mean the entire vid screams ragebait

bro even quoted shartgpt UNIRONICALLY

also saying HE doesnt sound mediocre while using a holy case

[quasi hinge]

I think he might be right

What pro player is gonna stick to non he boards

Playing without he now is like playing with a handicap haha

[robust nest]

this is literally the best little detail ever, brings me so much joy every time I replace switches (not that often tho haha)

[robust nest]

well I just switched to owl ti he's which are magnetic and I can feel slight difference yeah

I don't care about cherry products that optimum is blatantly shilling in his video

[worn pollen]

is there a video where it shows you how to remove your caps and lube your keyboard

[bronze rain]

does anyone know of a case that is so low profile to the point that it has zero void space under the pcb? Picture shows the area I'm trying to get rid of

[cloud pivot]

at that point, you could mill a sheet of fr4 and mount the keyboard on it

[bronze rain]

the closest i've found is YMDK GH60 Anodizing Aluminum CNC Case on amazon, but there is still some space

[cloud pivot]

and use thin silicone sheets underneath to get some anti-slip

oh yeah speaking of which

you could make holes for cone feet support too, to get a typing angle

[bronze rain]

sorry I dont understand what this means

i know nothing about keyboard modding

[cloud pivot]

that thing you see in the picture right underneath the usb port is a cone feet

its there to create a typing angle

[bronze rain]

ahhh

typing angle is the slight rising of the keyboard right?

[cloud pivot]

ye

[bronze rain]

is that supposed to be more ergonomic? In my mind the flatter it is, the less tension for your wrist

[cloud pivot]

lower typing angle is generally more ergonomic, but a higher typing angle allows small hands to reach keys even more comfortably

which is in turn more ergonomic

[bronze rain]

ah so just reducing the distance using height

[cloud pivot]

right, and some keycap profiles are angled for that too

like cherry

cherry always expects a typing angle of 7 degree minimum iirc

[worn pollen]

Should I lube my keyboard? It just came yesterday and idk if I should lol, I’m not a keyboard expert

[bronze rain]

about your suggestion for milling a sheet of fr4, I would need specialist machinery for it right?

[cloud pivot]

right, working with fr4 requires equipment and a controlled facility

since fr4 is fiberglass and breathing it in is... not good

[bronze rain]

gg for me then

[bronze rain]

is this fr4? it looks like wood

i might be stupid

[cloud pivot]

bottom case fr4, top case (and integrated plate) plastic

[bronze rain]

I see, and that's basically someone else's diy, thinnest possible case right

[cloud pivot]

yuppers

but also those used to be common

they were sold as "skeleton" keyboard kits

[bronze rain]

yeah chatgpt told me to search for it. and I got zero results

[cloud pivot]

in the meantime you could buy a sheet of 1mm silicon and adhere it underneath with some double sided tape to get a lower profile btw

removing the cone feet first ofc

your keyboard would also adhere better to the table and get better acoustics

[bronze rain]

in theory, could I literally jsut adhere the silicone to the pcb itself?

basically no case

what risks would there be

[cloud pivot]

the pcb is not flat

other than that no risks

oh, the double sided tape could be hell to clean up later on i guess

[bronze rain]

thank you for the all the info!

[worn pollen]

Should I lube my keyboard? It just came yesterday and idk if I should lol, I’m not a keyboard expert

[cloud pivot]

not an essential thing

if you think your keyboard feels comfortably to use as is, there is no reason to bother further

[worn pollen]

Sound

[worn pollen]

Perfect (-: thank you

[polar girder]

That’s sick

[chilly mural]

mmm

can't wait to see what the performance of these two board tested by eyejoker

[glacial wind]

i would assume both good

at this stage you have to actually mess up stuff to have poor performance

it's all the other stuff that is questionable within firmware

[chilly mural]

There's also this one, this makes wooting look like a reasonable board for the poor.

@tropic urchin This must be your adversary

[tranquil iris]

Did someone tried Akko Astrolink Magnetic Switch are they good ?

Also Star Magnetic Switches / Moon Magnetic Switches they all 3 look nice

[glacial wind]

They were fine iirc, nothing out of ordinary

[glacial wind]

The tldr is if you’re trying out tons of switches you’re not going to find a big difference within the same generation of switches normally

It’s mostly recolors or other minor changes

just pick any one of the good choices that came out recently and you’re good

[tranquil iris]

ah okay they have epic names themed around stars and nightsky and the akkos are available locally thats why

[glacial wind]

the rough cycle of switches is every so often another generation comes out which is just improved tolerances in some way normally, then 50281928 variants of that will come out, then rinse repeat

[tranquil iris]

yeah I just found out that the Duhuk On Point are actually a little different then the Herz and Owlab Ti or atleast the Stem

[glacial wind]

honestly just pick the stem type you want, then pick from one of the 3 popular options and you're good, no need to worry too much more unless you really are interested in just trying out a bunch of switches

[tranquil iris]

like they are little spring things for top out

[glacial wind]

yeah those are a whole silenced top thing that was hit or miss depending on the user - some people love it, some hate it

[tranquil iris]

yeah I would like to do it but there is not a single shop that has like 3 switches and paying like 30-40 dollars tax and shipping for 4x 10 pcs switches where I end up using only one of them is just money waste

[glacial wind]

no i mean just buy 1 of them

don't need to worry about trying every single one

like if you want normal stem then grab owlab ti or duhuk herz or ur ice, if you want box style stem then get ttc pom/rgb or phylina thunderflash pro and you're good

[tranquil iris]

yeah Im almost certain I go for the Herz I just dont really understand how they can be cheaper then the Owlab Ti even tho they are the same

[glacial wind]

different shops have different pricing depending on region etc, just how it is. Prices jump all over the place

owlab also bigger brand so they can price a bit higher

[tranquil iris]

is the ttc magneto king of the switch (or sum like that) the original version of the one wooting sells

[glacial wind]

yeah wootings are recolors with spring changes

wooting just changed the tension of the spring and the colors to be more neutral to not mess with rgb

[tranquil iris]

oh okay

[glacial wind]

kom is also a different mold to kom rgb and kom pom

[tranquil iris]

I just find special looking ones and then Im very interested how they are like those

[glacial wind]

they're good, slightly less stable than ttc pom/rgb

but still very stable

[tranquil iris]

yeah they look insane

[tranquil iris]

there is sadly not a single review of the thunder flash pro/lighting

[calm pulsar]

<@&1098943457654997093>

[tranquil iris]

someone got his acc yoinked

[cloud pivot]

wtf is this design

looks like keycap interference nightmare

[tranquil iris]

Ik kinda funny tho

[glacial wind]

cause they're very new, they're fine though. Think of them like box stem ur ice/owlab ti/herz

[sweet oak]

Are they crunchy

[glacial wind]

thankfully not

[sweet oak]

[tranquil iris]

what about durock rock are they from the same "generation"

[glacial wind]

they're new-ish too

honestly here's the deal.

if you want box stem either buy ttc pom/rgb if you don't mind the cost/hand lubing, or buy phylina lightning if not

[cloud pivot]

all of those new switches are just fomo bait and you should just buy ttc poms

[fallen pecan]

bro is overthinking to the moon and back

[calm pulsar]

have you submitted the MangoHE design to Wooting yet

[glacial wind]

everything else is not worth your time checking or looking over because there's 182734892783893 box stems out there which are various levels of good

[sweet oak]

They will be made in house

[cloud pivot]

you need nothing beyond ttc poms

[tranquil iris]

yeha im a quadmillion checker and also very new to this business I need to learn the basics I am sorry

[glacial wind]

like even ttc themselves have like 10 variants slightly below their pom/rgb line, so if you go through every box stem wondering if they're better stability wise the answer is no

[calm pulsar]

too good to be mass produced I see

[cloud pivot]

just follow the switch guide :/

there is very little reason to deviate from it

[tranquil iris]

where

[cloud pivot]

pins

[tranquil iris]

I see maybe I shouldve checked earlier

[sweet oak]

They all have to complete the inspection crunch evaluation, its a very time consuming process that can only be completed with human intervention. The most we use any kind of automation is for the molding of the MangoHE

Any crunch afterwards its meticulously done

[cloud pivot]

crunch sounds terrible

i want my keyboards to be soft and pillowy and dreamy

like topre boards

^_^

[tranquil iris]

In my defense this is my current keyboard

I was a minor back then

[cloud pivot]

wait how do you have 80he role xD

[calm pulsar]

I imagine a person has to manually put doritos crumbles in there to achieve the signature crunch

something that machines cant do

[sweet oak]

Indeed

[tranquil iris]

I have the module laying around here waiting for switches and I returned the white zinc because of chipped paint

[sweet oak]

But there will be options for other different variants of crunch. Like cheetos or any other chip snack

We are also thinking of developing cereal crunch, using different cereal brands

[cloud pivot]

screw getting a case bro just stick that thing on a sheet of foam

problem solved

you get pretty soft typefeel and low profile from doing that as well :DDDDDDDD

[calm pulsar]

https://youtu.be/KiHD3DIkTFo

[sweet oak]

That candy is actually goated btw

Especially their bite sized ones

[cloud pivot]

i had one as a kid

[tranquil iris]

my gt80 should arrive in the next 2 weeks, I actually have spare foam

[cloud pivot]

its one of the better candies fosho

[sweet oak]

I also like toblorone

[cloud pivot]

tolerone is my GOAT candy

[calm pulsar]

oh wait is that nestle crunch and not wesley crunch? lol

[cloud pivot]

nothing comes close

fuck that literally just reminded me to impulse purchase a few bars rn

[tranquil iris]

I ordered Herz, for you guys peace and for mine also Herz means Heart in german and they are pink

[calm pulsar]

now you're gonna have a 80hz keyboard

[tranquil iris]

80 ?

[calm pulsar]

like your keyboard is going to have 80 herz in it

I'll see myself out

[tranquil iris]

nah Im too tired bro my bad

I think I wrote my first message like at 0.00 and its almost 15:00

[cloud pivot]

most humorous venom user

[calm pulsar]

yeah choosing keyboard stuff can be like that
I remember browsing for keycaps for hours

[cloud pivot]

how can you suffer from keycap decision paralysis when wob exists

smh my head

[calm pulsar]

yeah gmk wob was my first proper keycap set

[cloud pivot]

gmk wob is the only gmk set i have left after cashing out my collection

i aint selling it after 7 years of epic shining ofc

[calm pulsar]

black snail goated too

[tranquil iris]

yeah thank god I just went for basic white so just wooting keycaps, a module and a case. The switches were quite a hard decision, like some are box stem, 4 completly similar ones then this little hook on the duhuk on point, they all very very similar but still have differences which for me is the ultimate decide fight

[paper bloom]

I did that too

Till today im still waiting on my suisei keycaps

[glacial wind]

aliexpress summer sale starting soon, the perfect chance to buy random camera gear

[fluid ravine]

9 more days until I go home until I'm reunited with my setup

[fluid ravine]

[calm pulsar]

anime keycaps?

[calm pulsar]

are you on vacation rn?

[fluid ravine]

Yeah my one month being in Vietnam is almost up

Bought my new basketball shoes for VB and got my GMK black snails l9 alphas

Got hella moni from my aunt and uncle. Wonder what I'm gonna do with it

I was tempted to attempt a neo65cu purchase but I'm holding back on that thought rn

[snow yarrow]

@glacial wind did you see @sacred elm's little heart break in real time

[fluid ravine]

Boooo

[tranquil iris]

FUCK

I tought they were lubed

[glacial wind]

they're lubed i'm pretty sure, that site is just wrong

[tranquil iris]

ah okay because I would cancel them or try atleast if they were not, ty

[glacial wind]

unlubed switches are pretty rare. TTC is the only brand i know that actively does that by default for whatever weird reason

[fluid ravine]

Yeah can confirm they are lubed

[tranquil iris]

oh ok ty!

[fluid ravine]

Rails and Stem, and some on the bottom housing for the springs

[tranquil iris]

nice, I bought them because they are "reskinned" OwLab Ti and they where like 1.50 Euro per 10 cheaper then them

[fluid ravine]

Hmm lowk I might need someone to ping me on any switch updates
I'm gonna fall behind in the HE space since I'm looking into mx rn

Unusual thockson activities

[fluid ravine]

Yup basically a recolor of the teehee switches

[paper bloom]

[calm pulsar]

I think like 450 dollers

[tropic urchin]

atleast tree fiddy

any1 has this 80HE mod kit?
https://torontokeyboardman.ca/products/wooting-80he-modding-kit?variant=44037787418819

[trail bane]

I’ll recommend buy plate only

Cuz imo there’s no any reason to swap foams or silicone sandwich to poron one

[tropic urchin]

end up paying double for foam which is outrageous

[glacial wind]

It’s also a lot of resold stuff from aliexpress so if you’re not in US I’d probably just buy it from aliexpress

[fluid ravine]

Nebula black on neo cu with black snail
Yes or no?

[calm pulsar]

nebula black being the case color?

[fluid ravine]

Yes

Think of it like GMK cosmos

Black with glitter LMAO

[cloud pivot]

unanodizied alu is the only objectively correct case color

or burgundy

[calm pulsar]

ngl I just want all my boards in silver now, but black caps on black would be minimalistic looking

you can gauge how that might look from my pic

[cloud pivot]

YES

embrace silver

or even RAAAW

most id go from silver is burgundy

[fluid ravine]

Cus I'm gonna use ofc
L9 cream alphas with black snails with novelties

I could grab either one of the black top case and get brass as the bottom case to fit with the l9 alphas

That is the thought

[tropic urchin]

silber pilled

using my silber rn

[calm pulsar]

yeah I like burgundy too
other one I would accept is something along the lines of cyan, dark sea green

[calm pulsar]

so you're gonna go with cream alphas and standard black mods from black snail?

[fluid ravine]

Yeah

[cloud pivot]

didnt even know there were keycaps with cyrillic legends

[fluid ravine]

Dave sold me the novelties as well

[calm pulsar]

contrasty stuff might look nice with a black case

[calm pulsar]

yeah thats gmk taiga

[fluid ravine]

Thinking about it if I have the novelties I could use the extra caps on another 60% black build

I think I could get 2 builds out of the black snails I got

[calm pulsar]

yeah I think you can

btw are the novelties for black set or cream?

cause there are 2 kits I believe

[fluid ravine]

Hollup I lowk don't remember

[calm pulsar]

I got all of em, I can try a combination you want so you can check it out

[calm pulsar]

yeah that's the first novelty kit he released
and when he did cream alphas and mods later, he releaseda kit called cherry kit

which has more colors on the novelties

[fluid ravine]

(o.o)

[calm pulsar]

this red cherry enter is from the kit Im talking abt

[fluid ravine]

Ahh

Ok ok ik whatchu talking abt

[fluid ravine]

Well all ik is I bought the novelties kit and the base kit for $90 sorta used

[cloud pivot]

keycap talk is so redundant we should just be using pbt blanks instead

[fluid ravine]

Imagin3 looking at your keyboard
Smh

[cloud pivot]

best longevity, best textures

unironically this fr

[fluid ravine]

[cloud pivot]

i kinda want a snow blank set for my hhkb

but hhkb (and topre by extension) keycap prices are just 🥀

[calm pulsar]

silber brog too good

[tropic urchin]

silber bonin geggera

[calm pulsar]

true but also funny how we spend time to choose a good case and keycap color to look at the keybort

[fluid ravine]

Lmao

[cloud pivot]

that is also a waste of time

silver + beige

2ez

[calm pulsar]

silver + almost anything

[tropic urchin]

@calm pulsar starting to get used to soft mount

[distant crag]

anyone have pics of gray leggera? im choosing between silver / gray.

[pale lodge]

is there an easy way to find out what i'd want in the keyboard just by saying i want the sound to be loud?

and which switch makes the best sound for it to be loud

[jade storm]

OT vid

[glacial wind]

get the poms if you want loud. They're very loud and clacky

[tall hollow]

TTC POMS are loud in a good way

They sound pretty nice

[pale lodge]

will it affect the button press reaction thing at all ? (i dont know what its called sorry)

[tall hollow]

Nope

All functions are the same

And they will work as expected

[pale lodge]

perfect, thank you 🙂

also does it need the case around or can i leave it off?

as in like this, where the case doesnt go up to the keys (found the image on google)

[tall hollow]

That's fine

[pale lodge]

alright, thank you for the help 😄

[trail bane]

This

[cloud pivot]

they are just objectively the best

tightest tolerances, and driest factory lube (THIS WILL ALWAYS AN UPSIDE TO ME)

[pale lodge]

another question. is there an all-white alternative for the 80he case ? all i see is black, grey and see-through

[tropic urchin]

White Zinc + White GT80 iirc

[pale lodge]

is there any area i can find then, only ones i see for zinc is black and raw, and idk where to find the gt80

nevermind! i was looking at the bundle

[fluid ravine]

Ah shi- haven't watched

[low coral]

The white zinc is usually out of stock, I think it depends on your region.

[thorn zealot]

It’s basically him saying he is better than mx for gaming, but he said it in a shitty way

[fluid ravine]

I can see where this is heading

[fluid ravine]

How shitty we talking

[thorn zealot]

Like as shitty as the shitty title of the vid

[fluid ravine]

Haven't seen it

Ahem link ples

[thorn zealot]

Also isn’t it midnight over there

Bed time boy

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

I sleep till 4am

[pale lodge]

i see, cuz this is all i get on cases when i go for the module

[fluid ravine]

I Batman

[pale lodge]

but if i go for the premade one i can find the white zinc

[thorn zealot]

https://youtu.be/hUbKhUBs6XI?si=YRXo4dTa-57hCkF_

[fluid ravine]

Ah-

[thorn zealot]

U bad boy

[fluid ravine]

[low coral]

Yeah probably the white zinc is out of stock. I bought mine a few weeks ago but now I don't see it either.

[pale lodge]

ah ok

[cloud pivot]

the entire video is just a ragebait

bro literally pulled info out of shartgpt

i think most people should drop the video at that point

[calm pulsar]

HE has been big since 2019, so this video almost 6 years later doesnt seem that informative

[cloud pivot]

even by copium tech standards this is just so fucking low

feels like cheap engagement farming bait

in addition to usual copium tech bad takes

[trail bane]

Better get gt80
https://kbdfans.com/products/gt-80-case

[pale lodge]

so the gt80 is a case for the 80he?

[tropic urchin]

Yes

[trail bane]

Yes as bone80, zinc alloy from wooting, holy80, nzxt(idk)

[tropic urchin]

I have the silver version, 100% recommend

[pale lodge]

ah ok

thank you all for the help 🙂

[tropic urchin]

Their build video showcases their white version: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WMIjfmEXkOE

[pale lodge]

that one looks very nice honestly

[pale lodge]

will i need to buy the daughterboard too for this?

[tropic urchin]

You can buy a separate DB, or just order a plastic case and swap (would recommend this since it’s essentially same price)

I’d recommend just so you use the stock Wooting DB so there are no potential connection issues

I used theirs and it felt weird at first so I’d recommend plastic route

[pale lodge]

and what is a daughterboard? sorry i dont know anything about this tbh

[tropic urchin]

It’s this, but it basically connects your PCB and the USB together so it can connect

[pale lodge]

so buy the plastic 80he set and then use the case instead?

[pale lodge]

oh ok

[tropic urchin]

So you will most likely use the plastic case while you wait for the GT80

And then once you get GT80, basically unscrew the DB and transplant it to GT80

Depending on timing

[tropic urchin]

It’s not very difficult to do since they provided a nice video visual

[pale lodge]

so buy the pre-build one or can i buy a module and build that while waiting for the gt80?

or i guess i can buy the prebuilt one and buy extra switches

[tropic urchin]

Yeah you can do either. I’d probably recommend module only bc it teaches you where everything needs to go and you’ll have a good idea what to do for GT80

You can still take the prebuilt apart

But probably will be more work

[pale lodge]

i guess if i take the prebuilt and rebuild it it will take away any existing warranty?

[tropic urchin]

I’d also recommend a higher quality switch puller than the default one (it’s ass)

[pale lodge]

switch puller? 😅

[tropic urchin]

They allow/encourage modding, but afaik as long as you don’t damage the PCB you should be okay.

[pale lodge]

oh thats actually nice!

[tropic urchin]

https://shop.wuquestudio.com/products/wuque-titanium-switch-puller

Your fingers will thank you

[pale lodge]

hehe, yeah i should get one of those then

do normal tweezers work?

[tropic urchin]

Never tried, but can’t imagine you’d get enough force to get it out

Imagine you’d probably damage your tweezers

[pale lodge]

ah ok

[tropic urchin]

Some switches you gotta pull kinda hard to remove (unless you separate the switch plate from PCB)

All you’d need to do is remove the 8 screws on the back of the PCB to do that

[pale lodge]

i see

[tropic urchin]

So if you wanna visualize it, you have your case —> PCB —> silicone gasket mount layer —> switch plate (PCB + gasket + switch plate are together), you hook the DB JST cable into the little hub on your PCB and everything is connected

With GT80 the top case has a ball catch system so you don’t need case screws but on the Wooting cases you will need to screw it back in

It’s very convenient

[pale lodge]

ah, so for the gt80 i dont need screws at all?
im also currently also checking the switches to find one that sounds like my current keyboard.

[tropic urchin]

For the case itself no

[pale lodge]

oooh ok 😮

[tropic urchin]

Check out owlab ti hes

[pale lodge]

also is there any rules against talking about other keyboards incase i cant say the brand i use?

[tropic urchin]

You should be fine

A lot of ppl have other keyboard PCBs they use

Like venom 60HE and others

[pale lodge]

nice, i got the razer huntsman with razers clicky optical switch, and i love the sound of it, so if you know of any switches that have a similar sound to it

might also be due to the keys and switches being above the case itself

[tropic urchin]

Yeah you probably aren’t going to find any clicky variants, but for HE it’s mostly just all clack

[pale lodge]

ah ok

[tropic urchin]

https://wootingmods.com/switchguide/

Check out this site, it should have a lot of other switch options you can use on your board and you can see which switch you like the most

[pale lodge]

thank you!

[thorn zealot]

yeah that vid was not it

[fluid ravine]

@calm pulsar I found a buyer for my neo

Gg

Neo65 cu time

No backing out now

What plate should I do

[thorn zealot]

none and get a manta (it def doesnt cost $450+)

[fluid ravine]

Bro 😭

[jade storm]

bro stop spitting

[thorn zealot]

jk what switches

didnt u get gleams?

[fluid ravine]

I have hem yeah

[thorn zealot]

yeah maybe go softer

u can actually try a plastic plate now

[fluid ravine]

I tried them on POM on my neo65 already lol

[untold wigeon]

Does anyone here have experience on using 60% tsangan for coding full time?
and how is it?

[fluid ravine]

Both cf and pom

[thorn zealot]

oh then maybe u can try pp

heard alot of mx ppl like pp

and i want to hop on that pp

[fluid ravine]

Ayo

[fluid ravine]

Lowk I want to own ALU, pp, and cf

For my neo

[thorn zealot]

alu and gleams will be stupid loud

[fluid ravine]

Aint bad on Cf

[thorn zealot]

and btw if ur going to match with cream snail then get either silver or retro white

[fluid ravine]

Why not black

[thorn zealot]

oh ur usin black mods right

[fluid ravine]

Yeah

I'm going Top Case Nebula or Black

And bottom case Brass

Lookin like this

[thorn zealot]

u should order from dk

[fluid ravine]

?

[thorn zealot]

divini

[fluid ravine]

But it's like a 12 weeks wait no?

[thorn zealot]

yeah but i rather wait 3 months then pay like $50+ in tariffs

[fluid ravine]

Oh shit I forgot abt tariffs

That shit still going on man tf

[thorn zealot]

yeah if u order from qk trump finna bend u over and make u cough up $$

[tropic urchin]

More like $80-90

45% of whatever your order is

[thorn zealot]

🥀

[tropic urchin]

Sub $200 is $90

[thorn zealot]

thankfully all the things for my next kb will come from the us

[fluid ravine]

Aight fine

Dk it id

Is

[thorn zealot]

trump can send ice to me

but he wont see my payin tariffs

[fluid ravine]

Nebula or black

[thorn zealot]

u want black or black with dandruff

[fluid ravine]

Thats what I'm asking

I don't mind either

[thorn zealot]

i like black with dandruff

[stray tiger]

@fluid ravine first off aren't you forgetting to tell me something today?

Secondly, already sold the 65?

[fluid ravine]

OH HAPPY FATHER DAY POPS

Sorry ahead of time
Lost track of the days

And yeah already selling the 65

Buying the 65cu

[stray tiger]

Oh nice! I've heard nothing but good things about it! I bought a new board too but it's a new old MX board I'll be converting to HE

[fluid ravine]

I'm having trouble deciding to buy from either Qwertykeys or Divinikey rn and choosing between black or nebula AND when to order while I'm in Vietnam

[fluid ravine]

What board did you buy?

Haha doing that MX to HE conversion grind

[stray tiger]

I'm not a huge fan of spray coating so I'd vote black between those two, but it's personal preference.

[lyric nimbus]

@stray tiger you know that foam sandwich mod i talked about?

It Worked.

[fluid ravine]

Alright, black can give a clean look overall so I may pick it

[stray tiger]

I picked up an Ori 60 Black badge edition. Been wanting that one or the Dune edition but neither comes up for sale very often. But a guy at Keycon yesterday had one that I snagged.

[thorn zealot]

im pretty sure ur kb will cost $300+ if u order from qk

[stray tiger]

Oh nice!

[fluid ravine]

Shii

[fluid ravine]

Ori 60
Sounds oddly familiar ngl

But ay glad you were able to snag one off a guy

[lyric nimbus]

im done with all the mods i could reasonably do at home

now i need to wait until september to continue modding

[untold wigeon]

which pcb will u use??

[stray tiger]

Ever seen the gold/bronze colored board on Alexotos desk with GMK Sloth on it? If so, that's the one.

[fluid ravine]

OHH

[thorn zealot]

and then add tariffs 🥀

[stray tiger]

I'll pull a venom one out of another board

[lyric nimbus]

time to spend $250 on...

• imitaiton ivory
• FR4 plate
• custom cnc milled case

you cant tariff something im making from scratch

[thorn zealot]

ur talkin abt the ori 60 cls/3 one right

[stray tiger]

Yeah the blackout version

[fluid ravine]

Speaking of alex ain't he streaming rn

[thorn zealot]

yeah thats a nice oring board

[thorn zealot]

he is streaming a $600+ kb rn

[fluid ravine]

I remember asking abt it one time cus of the stupid ass curvy thin side bezels

Like I fell in love with it instantly

Damn lucky fricking you

A random guy from keycon

Just yoink it from him lmao

[stray tiger]

No haha, but I had been looking and my buddy was one of the speakers on the artisan panel and the guy brought it to give to him for me but it ended up not working out so he is shipping it to me.

[fluid ravine]

(▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)ᴵ ˢᵉᵉ

How much you yoink it for?

[stray tiger]

That's a secret but I got it for a fair price assuming it's in the condition advertised

[fluid ravine]

Oo black

What caps you using

[stray tiger]

No clue yet. Got so many choices I could pick. I did grab a fun PBT set the other day that I was going to throw on the black Owl60 but might go good on the Ori.

[fluid ravine]

I mean yeah you do have a very wide variety of choices to go with for black

[uneven cradle]

Evil dolch

[stray tiger]

That would work but I've been trying some funky sets lately. Was thinking something like this

[harsh dove]

This is what real KBD Holy case enjoyers want

[stray tiger]

Ok not that funky lol

[harsh dove]

Lmao

[stray tiger]

I've been on the hunt for the curiosity add-on for Mars Cadet and have had no luck

[harsh dove]

Oh really, don’t think I’ve seen that, lemme look it up

I like that MARS key

These are dope tho

[stray tiger]

Yeah, I feel like it really sets off the set

[harsh dove]

Yeah I like these, clean

[stray tiger]

Would give it that extra oomph

[harsh dove]

Oooh yeah 1000%

[thorn zealot]

debatin if i should cop it now or later

afraid of it goin selling out

[stray tiger]

It'll for sure sell out but don't fomo. Just get it if you really want it. I did get the novelties too but haven't opened them yet.

[harsh dove]

Damn I kinda like the solar array keys too

I would have to get a full set on that one lowkey

Novelties are cool

[polar girder]

What’s that

[harsh dove]

Mars Cadet

GMK

[stray tiger]

Yeah I grabbed the solar arrays but the other kit was gone

[harsh dove]

Oh you meant the case

[harsh dove]

Damn that’s a shame

Hopefully someone relist em soon

[stray tiger]

Ori 60 Black badge

Going to a concert tonight for Father's Day for a band most of you have never heard of but should!

[thorn zealot]

i saw the solar ones sell out last week

[thorn zealot]

what band

[stray adder]

I went for the 60HE, Lekker Linear L45, Optimum Case and keys. Crossing fingers this first build will be a blast 🙂

[stray tiger]

I had like $20 in shop cash and used it for them lol

[stray tiger]

Stick Figure

[harsh dove]

Haha possibly not, but Happy Father’s Day man, hope you have a good one

I’ve maybe heard Stick Figure once but not sure

[stray tiger]

The weed heads might know who stick figure it though

[thorn zealot]

yeah no clue

[mental salmon]

I would say “Feliz día del padre”

Off topic but what is your gaming headphone or headset?

[stray tiger]

Me?

[mental salmon]

Yes

[stray tiger]

Headphones just some HD 560S for 99% of my gaming unless I use buds and then its just some truthear zero reds

Im too old to hear well enough for anything more expensive to matter

[thorn zealot]

yeah i think mars cadet would slap on this

[mental salmon]

I will check them, also watching reviews of HD505 and HD550, starting to look for a PC37x replacement as I think a “PC39x” may not be released

[stray tiger]

For sure! I thought about ordering one of the Vellas just to order a few extra PCB's lol

I did see you guys were interested in that board though, like the RAW

[thorn zealot]

yeah i think it will be one of the best he cases out there

its basically a more customizable leggera thats heavier

[thorn zealot]

why not get the pc38x

[stray tiger]

Wait, doesn't the rin60 need a custom plate?

[mental salmon]

Could be but out of stock atm

[thorn zealot]

well ima use mx

im pretty much done with he

[polar girder]

What kind of mount is that?

[stray tiger]

Ahh gotcha! Im going to the other way and converting everything to HE so I dont have to swap boards come game time

[stray tiger]

o-ring

[polar girder]

Hmph

Neat

This thing is most interesting case I’ve seen on a bit

Goes pretty hard

[cloud pivot]

sorry i cant find a cure to being right and awesome all the time

[stray tiger]

Simple design but love the extra base piece design. Will be pretty cheap

[marble sierra]

🤣 wonder how this ends

[stray tiger]

Someone from the US may buy it but the tariffs are gonna hurt

[marble sierra]

I'm more curious on what his reserve is as already got one

Is he trying to make more than he paid or get just get money back

[stray tiger]

Oh just noticed it's ISO. Poor guy, no wonder he is selling 😂

[marble sierra]

🤣 Will it ever resell tbh

[tropic urchin]

Im sure theres one hardcore ISO user salivating as we speak

[marble sierra]

Yeah the seller himself over of it's gonna sell or not

Wouldn't ansi fit if it was friction pad fitted or am I missing something

[untold wigeon]

the plate is different

[untold wigeon]

u can't use stock plate iirc

[marble sierra]

Oh yeah forgot about that bit 🤣

[polar girder]

Yeah solid price but still decently heavy and nice lines

[jade storm]

how do you do it?

[tulip rapids]

hes on sped

[tulip rapids]

are they still a thing father?

https://tenor.com/view/starwars-no-darth-vader-yell-noooooo-gif-5858146

[tropic urchin]

a nice ol 45% slapped on top

[stray tiger]

55% plus an extra 50% on the aluminum

[tropic urchin]

Who needs aluminum anymore right guys

All my homies hate aluminum

[trail bane]

Found something for those who wanted Wooting keycaps but for 60%+ layout:

[thorn zealot]

this case looks so ass

[sweet oak]

chat what switches do i test my crunch magic on

[thorn zealot]

he or mx

[marble sierra]

This case will be on Taobao on the 19th of this month, I'd been speaking to LazyDoge directly so they let me know in messages

[thorn zealot]

yeah def not for me

[marble sierra]

Just a similar owlab design

[sacred elm]

phylina lightning

[thorn zealot]

yeah im also not a fan of the owlab case design

[sweet oak]

are the sidegrades to ti hes?

[sacred elm]

very stable switch with good sound, I also wanna try them🌹

[sweet oak]

ah i see so you want me to guinea pig try em

i wouldnt oppose

[trail bane]

Better ask mom for extra 20usd to get leggera

[trail bane]

Oh ma bad only $7

[tropic urchin]

Cheap cases typically are

[thorn zealot]

$50 is too much

mb $60

[tropic urchin]

$50 is the new $30

[marble sierra]

I just noticed that is even 50% off too 🤣

[thorn zealot]

💀

[stray tiger]

@thorn zealot just got word more of the Mars Cadet child kits are coming to NK

[thorn zealot]

what are child kits

the novelites?

[stray tiger]

Yeah both child kits

[thorn zealot]

ight il wait for those then

do u know when

[stray tiger]

May not be base kits left by then lol

[calm pulsar]

are you selling your 65% for another 65%?

[odd grove]

anyone know if people add a tape mod on top of the pet film in the 80 he

[tropic urchin]

the PET film is just a partial tape mod, id just do a multi layered full tape mod instead of combining partial with full if that makes sense

[odd grove]

mm i see i see

im new to modding so thanks for the help

[tropic urchin]

you could try it if you're curious, but not sure about any tangible benefit from doing so

[odd grove]

why dont people just tape the bottom of the case lol

it still prevents the pinging noise from the case right?

[stray tiger]

It's to remove resonance from the keystrokes on the PCB. Much better options for the case

[odd grove]

oh i see

[tropic urchin]

usually you'll have your foam/polyfill which would be your case noise dampener

[calm pulsar]

from marbly clack to barbly brack

[tropic urchin]

i was waiting for that barbly crack sound profile personally

[misty sapphire]

i also like crack

[thorn zealot]

on omnitype

@thorn zealot @harsh dove #1192958977441542235 message

Lol

[thorn zealot]

oh i just get my news from alexotos serv

so i can gmk for $50 if i stay up to midnight

[stray tiger]

5 sets for $250 for the first 8 min or yeah $50 each

[thorn zealot]

wait so i have to get 5 sets for the $50 each

or can i just get one

if so i might just get dualshot instead of mars cadet

[harsh dove]

Damnnn

I have all those sets except Redline and 8008

Might be some cool deskpads I can collect

[stray tiger]

Can get 1

[stray tiger]

Redline is so good. I'm going to try and grab 8008 blue as I have the rest and maybe symbiote and dmg3 if they are less than $99

[harsh dove]

Yeah I'll have to keep an eye on this tomorrow

[thorn zealot]

might get dualshot instead now

[foggy scroll]

what does first 8 minutes even mean..?

[thorn zealot]

like the first 8 mins of the day im pretty sure

[foggy scroll]

do we know timezone or anything...? i can't find any more info than just the "first 8 minutes" 😬

[stray tiger]

They are in Alabama so Central time

[thorn zealot]

12 am cst

[foggy scroll]

daylight saving time is what has me worried rn

sale should happen in 3 hours 29 mins?

[thorn zealot]

are u est?

[foggy scroll]

i think it's EDT rn...

[thorn zealot]

doesnt matter

if ur in est/edt or whatever then it will be at 1am

[foggy scroll]

cool cool

guesss i'll have to look and pick something
worst case i get 32% off
thanks

[marsh saffron]

Anyone know if the usb ports on this would lineup? https://kbdcraft.store/products/case-adam

Kinda cool and cheap

[fluid ravine]

Well well well, awake just in time

[ionic breach]

idts

could send them a msg tho

wait its lego

just remove more pieces lmao

[marsh saffron]

yeah but looks like it'd need custom plate

but also coujld prob just friction fit it???

for 20$ i might give it a try

if it works i can use it for my sisters build im gonna do for her

[chilly mural]

It's soo cheap, but should be cool

[cloud pivot]

wake me up once its pbtfans 30$

😔

[cloud pivot]

ayo wtf i cant find the gel pad links no mo

the one i had just turned into a listing for springs??

wtf

[foggy scroll]

anyone know an estimate for the extra costs of shipping from omnitype website to canada would be? tariffs, extra tax and stuff

[pulsar current]

does anyone know where i can find any all black keycaps for my wooting 60, like optimum, just black? cant afford optimum case but i can afford they key caps.

[potent grotto]

Closest is pbtfans Lyla. They’re not pure black but close

[pulsar current]

those are still really nice, can i ask why there isnt really any closest option? and am i able to seamlessly change out my keycaps. ive only done it once with my old razer keyboard HAHA

[potent grotto]

They’re just off black. You can swap them super easily with a keycap puller. Seamless

[stray tiger]

Not sure, it should have told you during checkout, though likely not tariffs.

I'm the US but placed 2 orders. The first included some of the $50 sets and the second was 3 of the $68 sets

[foggy scroll]

i see shipping costs but i think the other stuff i'd get hit with is left out, no?

never ordered international before so trying to figure it out

[stray tiger]

Tariffs and duties etc won't be shown by a vendor typically.

[pulsar current]

70$ with shipping :l

yo gurt is the gel pad listing on taobao down for you @tawdry tree

[cloud pivot]

yur

[tawdry tree]

I know that happens on ali sometimes

didn’t know it was meta on tb too

[cloud pivot]

oh wow i didnt know they sold dome booster springs too

this will be nice for the spacebar

dunno why i didnt get them when i first bought them

[tawdry tree]

that listing has standoffs too

and screws

for some reason

[cloud pivot]

LMAO they raised the price on ali

[tawdry tree]

more than KoMs 😭😭

[trail bane]

For 10pack?

[tawdry tree]

LOL

nah for 35

[little glen]

5 pack

[tawdry tree]

little over €1/switch

[trail bane]

Pf

Only 1€

POM snks is 2.1

[tawdry tree]

wait till they come out with gold plated gel pads

holy

🔥🔥

[trail bane]

I was already scared that a genius had appeared who would sell switches more expensive than WS Flux/OG SNKs

[little glen]

Gonna sell the mostest stablest switch and put shitty magnets in there that sometimes have the wrong polarity

8 dollar per switch

[chilly mural]

make the spring magnetic too

[little glen]

Yeah

Cast iron bottom housing

[tawdry tree]

and clicky please

with the worst click leafs imaginable

[cloud pivot]

ayo gateron clicky mod is kinda bussin imo

im not saying this because im glad i was able to recycle my dead skyloong board

[tawdry tree]

those click leafs aren’t bad at all tbh

I like it

[cloud pivot]

yuh

[tawdry tree]

too sharp of a click for my taste tho

still 100 times better than yiqian/outemu blue magnetics 💀

okay well thank u ill prob settle for these eventually :l

[marsh cove]

hi should i mod my Wooting 60HE (tofu redux case, gateron jade pro switches, blank keycaps) or buy a Wooting 80HE?

[sacred elm]

Depends which layout you like more

[trail bane]

Depends what do you want

Spend more money or spend money

[little glen]

Jade pro switches

Please release us from the gateron curse

[ripe nova]

Maybe try recalibrating it? If that doesn't help, increase the actuation point slightly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwAw_YeNEQ4 eyejoker recs from the aliexpress sale

[lone gulch]

Hey @fallen pecan I'm looking at the Mchose Ace60 Pro and the Ace 60 X

do they use the same exact PCB?

[fallen pecan]

they do not

[lone gulch]

which one would you recommend then? considering I'm getting a case to go along with it

[fallen pecan]

didnt we go through this a couple of days ago

[lone gulch]

you recommended ace 60 x lol but for no specific reason

i mean i can always trust blindly

[fallen pecan]

ace60x is the only gh60 compatible ace board

if you wanna play around with cases you literally only have 1 choice

[lone gulch]

ok thanks. that's all the info i need

[fallen pecan]
