anyone knows the fair price of an og frog mini today? trying my luck to find a silver one instead of leggeras..

[hasty portal]

hey, i want to get my girlfriend a wooting two he with maxkeyboard ISO 105 with russian alphanumeric, now im wondering what difference it makes if i get the german or the UK ISO for the wooting? is there even a difference if i get the russian keycaps anyways?

new design that basically has a self level system inside the stem area to reduce wobble on the magnet itself

still very new tech and untested qc, but it's an interesting new change to HE switches at least

[thorn zealot]

i think they are like $200-300

maybe less

[gray tulip]

Hey guys is there a video on how to remove the plastic 80HE case and replace it with the zinc alloy?

[cyan lark]

Unscrew the daughterboard and move it and the mainboard into the new case

[tropic urchin]

There should be one on the Wooting YouTube page, but assuming it’s prebuilt, all you do is remove the case screws and remove top case half then, unplug the JST cable (use nail/wiggle it out) and do the same process into the zinc alloy case

[gray tulip]

Got it thank you

[tropic urchin]

Then hold top case into place and rescrew

[gray tulip]

Does Wooting provide you with the screw driver

Or I need one cause it’s super small

Nvm

[sacred elm]

daughterboard is already there

[gray tulip]

I’m having trouble plugging in the cable

It’s very tedious

[polar girder]

Prob not less

[tropic urchin]

It requires some finesse with using your nail and since it’s a short cable it requires you to place it kinda weird, but each time you get it successfully it gets easier to do

[thorn zealot]

but what if i lost my nails

[tropic urchin]

Time to grow them back

Or use the back of a thumbtack or some shii

[thorn zealot]

type

[tropic urchin]

Iiiihs

[knotty bobcat]

can you use any cord with the wootings? or does it have to be a wooting cord?>

[marble sierra]

You can use after market ones if it's not too long, can't remember the requirements

[low coral]

Yes you can, but usually more than 2m can cause power issues. You also need a quality cable. But you can always try and see if it works fine.

[knotty bobcat]

Awesome thank you both 😊

[stray tiger]

For clarification, if it's an 80HE you want to be sure it's certified or confirmed to work at 8K polling rates. Most cheap cables do not work with 8K, hell even some expensive ones don't work.

If anyone is around/near Salt Lake City on the 19th of July and wants to meet me, our local keeb group is doing our annual meet-up.

Where are the venom users here?

[chilly mural]

hello

[tulip rapids]

BENOM

[steady halo]

wait

i'm thinking

to switch

from owlab ti

any thoughts?

for my venom build

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/venom-1994-gif-17498166525173239508

[steady halo]

are the deeper sound profile (ice ultra) fits the cf plate?

phylina's will arrive at my vendor next month

[chilly mural]

Unless you want to switch to pom or something similar, I'd say nah. Ti he is more than enough until next year where there should be more good switches for you to try

[steady halo]

ahh i see, i think i mistakenly sold the owlab ti with my 80he module💀

[chilly mural]

lmao

[steady halo]

[chilly mural]

good for the other person though

[steady halo]

so yeah, thinking about trying new switches

[steady halo]

i forgot about the owlab man

like i forgot i want to reuse it

i sold it as a bundle with higher price

not bad sold for 250ish with travel case

[tawdry tree]

Yeah but Ice Ultras and Phylina Lightnings sound really similar. I’d go with Lightnings and skip the Ice Ultras.

[steady halo]

nah man, i need to wait a month for it to arrive at my vendor

[tawdry tree]

Can’t buy from Ali?

[steady halo]

can't ship to my country directly

need agent,
and it takes quite a long time to be shipped here

[tawdry tree]

rip

then go with the Ice Ultras

they’re good too

just a bit less stable at bottom out than the Lightnings

[nimble tree]

Does anyone know where to buy a skypad 4.0 Smaller version?

[tawdry tree]

Another Jerrzi

and the POM housing with LY stem one (shared this already)

[kindred notch]

are there any good reviews for the gateron air and moonlight? i just found out about some problems the jade max have + my order got lost somewhere so i'll be cancelling it anyway

if not i'll go with the jade pros most likely

[little glen]

just get owlabs ti he

[kindred notch]

do they have anything better in particular? or is it just your preference @little glen

[fallen pecan]

holy80 clone releasing july 10th, 568 yuan

[glacial wind]

they're both minor improvements over jade pro line with just slightly tighter top housing potentially for the moonlight he and might just be a stem swap for the jade air vs. jade max

but like wizard said I'd just buy one of the better and cheaper alternatives like owlabs ti

[kindred notch]

i see

i was going for gateron because they're way easier to get where i live

[glacial wind]

where do you live?

[kindred notch]

argentina, amazon is too expensive and i've had issues with aliexpress recently

[glacial wind]

oh yeah that's tricky then

[kindred notch]

and most other sellers don't ship here

gateron does

[glacial wind]

moonlight he is probably the best of the current gateron options then, although they do have some stuff around the corner that may be better

jade air is a question mark because we don't know if there's any improvements to those beyond the stem replacement from the max variant

[kindred notch]

it really is just the jade max with a different stem?

the moonlight does sound good tbh

[glacial wind]

no confirmation but all the specs and such lead us to believe so

[kindred notch]

i see

tysm

the air is probably better for rgb but there shouldn't be much of a difference

[glacial wind]

yeah unless you want to absolutely go crazy rgb build you don't need to worry about rgb with how bright wootings led are

long as it's a neutral color and has a diffuser the rgb is plenty bright enough normally

[kindred notch]

moonlight are cheaper aswell

[kindred notch]

i see

i'll go with the moonlight then

thanksss

[sacred elm]

wait for new gateron switches, they said its "one of a kind HE switch"

idk if you want to believe them tho

[glacial wind]

there's the sakura too if you want a slightly better magnet iirc

but that's of questionable benefit

[kindred notch]

a bit too expensive yeah

[glacial wind]

oh i meant the ruby my bad

sakura has em too but they're way upmarked in the sakura for the whole sakura cherry blossom edition pricing lol

[kindred notch]

which ones?

like upcoming switches?

[glacial wind]

yeah

[kindred notch]

idk i dont want to wait that much

[sacred elm]

yes, they will reveal it soon

[glacial wind]

if you can wait a little bit there's new ones coming that might be interesting

[kindred notch]

i've received my wooting module like 3 weeks ago

it's already assembled i only need the switches lol

[glacial wind]

oh if you can't wait then yeah i'd get the ruby if you want the best magnet they have or moonlight if you don't care

[kindred notch]

idk how big of a difference it makes

is it like VERY noticeable?

[glacial wind]

not at all really

might be a tiny difference in deadzone if you use like 0.1 settings

[kindred notch]

i have a rt keypad with geon raptors and pretty sensible settings

never had much issues unless i used reaaaally low settings

• i've seen rubies mess a bit with the rgb + they're a little more expensive

[glacial wind]

yeah rubies being red will mess with your rgb a tad

[kindred notch]

i'll go with moonlights then

thanks a lot

[golden oar]

but why?

[knotty bobcat]

Otay silly question time ⏲️ 😜

https://tenor.com/view/pay-attention-mr-garrison-south-park-listen-up-listen-gif-21976418

[thorn zealot]

I’ve given em a week break by now

[pulsar raft]

any he switch recommendations?

[sacred elm]

owlab ti he

[kindred notch]

btw, why is the moonlight better than the jade air? i forgot to ask this

i haven't found any reviews for either of them

[steady halo]

i just realized my 80he 1 piece of my 6° feet wasn't on the box

[glacial wind]

Mostly because we know gateron improved the top housing for that line but we don’t know about the jade air

[steady halo]

[glacial wind]

If they improved the jade air housing too then maybe it’s better now but we don’t know

[kindred notch]

makes sense

i was asking because the tolerances seem a bit better on the jade air

like the total travel and magnetic flux tolerances

idk if that's really important

[glacial wind]

It has a better magnet

Which is why I was suggesting the gateron ruby before

Because if you want those flux numbers then the ruby uses the same magnet

[kindred notch]

so moonlights are confirmed to have better top housing and jade air has a better magnet

[glacial wind]

well jade air is just using the jade pro magnets

The moonlight they used a more budget magnet it seems

[kindred notch]

would make sense since it's cheaper

[glacial wind]

Jade ruby is the ‘better’ version if you care about magnet tolerances

[kindred notch]

yeah i remember, it's just that the red housing would mess with the rgb a bit

not a big fan of that

[glacial wind]

We also don’t fully know if the jade air fully fixed the binding issues

jade max had sticking issues so jade air is now pom stem instead but we don’t know if that means it’s fixed or not

[kindred notch]

jade air and jade ruby has same tolerances

[kindred notch]

yeah i saw that

i've seen more people talking about the jade air so it shouldn't take that long for someone to point this out )?

if it were to be an issue

[glacial wind]

Well they’re not all that popular so it’s hard to say

Gateron kind of fell out of the meta

[sacred elm]

what is next kdrama on the list @glacial wind

[glacial wind]

Hrm you just finished a really intense one so maybe you need a more light hearted one now

[sacred elm]

I need to finish our unwritten seoul

reborn rich was a lot better than this

[glacial wind]

Yeah reborn rich is goated level kdrama

[sacred elm]

ill watch some song joong ki kdramas

some of them have good rating

[glacial wind]

Yeah Vincenzo is good for a more light hearted one or descendants of the sun is one of the big love story dramas that was insanely popular

[tropic urchin]

Clutching my labubu

[sacred elm]

love stories mmm

[sacred elm]

go watch reborn rich lil bro

[glacial wind]

Both were crazy popular with song joong ki, it’s what got him paid big

i can't decide

nah that's OG frog mini

i want it but out of my budget

[tropic urchin]

he’s saying get beggera

[steady halo]

[calm pulsar]

yeah but the curves are the same

[steady halo]

but 5°

if 6

lovely

[calm pulsar]

imo more interesting than bofu robux

[steady halo]

I don't get why geon changed the typing angle

[chilly mural]

can always thicken the feet

[steady halo]

true, but redux more heavy💪

[calm pulsar]

ah didnt know this tbh

[steady halo]

good idea

[calm pulsar]

also true

[steady halo]

and redux have spacebar standoff

ngl, if frog mini is $120 rn, i will insta purchase it

[calm pulsar]

never used, i think its better w/o it

[steady halo]

wait what....

[calm pulsar]

i used all my reduxes like that too

[steady halo]

oh wait,
don't forget...
redux is always on stock

i have to wait for it

and i purchased the venom already

double shipping, makes dhl rich

https://tenor.com/view/van-gif-27330847

[steady halo]

it won't cause issues?

like unstable or pcb bent?

never tried it before

[calm pulsar]

dhl on the way to make you pay additional fees cause they paid the tax for you

[steady halo]

[steady halo]

$10

[calm pulsar]

nah, especially in a tray mount case

[steady halo]

i see

[thorn zealot]

It just makes a tray mount sound worse than it already is imo

[steady halo]

it's okay, at least it reaches my home faster

[steady halo]

ahh i see

wait does the redux brass weight make a huge difference?

because if i purchase the leggera, the cost will be the same as redux + weight

after shipping

[thorn zealot]

Imo yes it makes it sound fuller and less pingy/hollow

[steady halo]

i see

then i have to burger mount the leggera

alright, i'm into the carbon weight ngl

looks cool
(even though u can't see it when typing)

okay @calm pulsar i will be a part of 🐸

didnt you get a venom?

why do you need the tray mount frog

The inner RGB in me loves the colors, but hate just about everything else 🤣

ye

[tropic urchin]

Now I’m confused

🥀

[steady halo]

not a huge fan of gummy when playing

[calm pulsar]

why tray mount then?

ah ic

[steady halo]

i have a bakaneko60

and not a huge fan for playing

the keys feels like moving and such

[calm pulsar]

well you could use diff hardness orings

[steady halo]

true, but i might skip it for now and do a hunt for OG frog mini

so i need the left port type c

OG frog

here i come

[calm pulsar]

🫵

[steady halo]

frog = sigma

[calm pulsar]

my frog has been sitting in the case for a while now, I miss it

[sacred elm]

[steady halo]

yes yes 60he v2

[tropic urchin]

@calm pulsar part of me likes the feel of owlabs on alu + bonin vs 80HE 🥀

[calm pulsar]

it would've been a good fit, and I even have a good alu plate for it, on og frog, but 6.25u is so ass to me now

[sacred elm]

-_-

[calm pulsar]

yeah cause ti he + alu is a tasty build

[steady halo]

wait @calm pulsar so the reason Geon's remove the spacebar standoff is to make it feel a bit nicer?

iirc, the 3d visual at first had the standoff

right?

if so, another good job from geon then

[calm pulsar]

not sure exactly cause I never had a leggera, but regardless of if its there or not I just wouldnt use it personally hehe

[tropic urchin]

I think it’s perfect no RGB build

[steady halo]

i see

[steady halo]

build a sebas with upcoming venom rgb pcb

[tropic urchin]

I think I’d prob go bakka

We shall see given tariff situation for me

[steady halo]

bakka multi layout (?)

[tropic urchin]

Idk which one yet haven’t started the bakka planning

Too busy hoarding mice atm

[calm pulsar]

iirc they are hoping to achieve as many options on one non rgb pcb as possible

but for now they are busy selling bakka tkl he

[steady halo]

that would be the dream of custom HE

yeah exactly, so you don’t have to break anything off like with the Venom for example

[steady halo]

that's nice

ngl

i might cop it

[tawdry tree]

it’s nice but I worry it’ll limit case compatibility to some extent

[tawdry tree]

it’ll be sold out within a minute for sure

[steady halo]

maybe they can find some other solution for the thickness and such

[tawdry tree]

so best of luck if you really want it haha

[steady halo]

i will wait for it

[calm pulsar]

damn I need to be ready

or just get it later from aliexpress with a markup lol

[tawdry tree]

get an OW60 too

[steady halo]

idc if rakka leave their fw and left from the product on geon

[tawdry tree]

most expensive board in existence

[steady halo]

but i will buy that lovely pcb if u don't have to break anything

[tawdry tree]

they haven’t abandoned their own boards but idk what happened with geon

[calm pulsar]

it aint for me

[steady halo]

iirc, geon asked them to fix some bugs

but they were like "f u" and left

[calm pulsar]

I remember someone sent screenshots here of rakka ignoring geons pms

[tawdry tree]

don’t you love top tier qc (no issues at all!!)

[steady halo]

ngl, that makes their name bad

[tawdry tree]

I wonder why, it’s stupid af to burn bridges like that

they had a collab with KBD too iirc

but that also didn’t go very well it seems

at least I haven’t heard anything from that Takka board

[steady halo]

when you're working with one of the best case production brand

[steady halo]

yeah, and kbd moved on to mmstudio

[tawdry tree]

crazy work

[steady halo]

the shittiest software ever

sorry mm lovers

[tawdry tree]

mm’s trackrecord is the biggest red flag

lol

[steady halo]

worse than a madlion's software

[tawdry tree]

but hey, it’s 0.000001mm

[steady halo]

i found the best person that will be interested with the product

bro thinks 0.000000001mm makes the keyboard faster

[calm pulsar]

beast mode

[steady halo]

iirc pulsar's new keyboard was a collab with sayo right?

[tawdry tree]

I hate all those modes so fucking much

yeah

[steady halo]

even focus mode

HAHAHAHHA

sorry geon

but focus mode feels like a placebo

[calm pulsar]

I don't use it cause it's probably all placebo lol

[tawdry tree]

it makes testing boards 200284649284647x more difficult

[steady halo]

(2)

[tropic urchin]

Nah metal gear and blassic need it

[tawdry tree]

I wouldn’t be surprised if manus add modes like that that don’t do shit

[tropic urchin]

Not edumakated in the specs

[tawdry tree]

not geon tho

[calm pulsar]

well I remember getting kicked from wow cause of too many inputs when I was spamming keys on benom

[steady halo]

on eyejoker's test, it did something tho

[tropic urchin]

“This kid needs to find a better game to play”

[steady halo]

@calm pulsar, @tropic urchin have benom?

wait

who was it

i lost track

[calm pulsar]

we both have

[tropic urchin]

Bottom is benom

[steady halo]

@calm pulsar did u remove the daughter board from the pcb?

[steady halo]

did u remove the daughter board from the pcb?

[calm pulsar]

I have 2 benoms, one for og frog, one for cases with db, but for og frog I kept it in

[tropic urchin]

I removed the usb thingy on the left side I’m gummy mount

[tawdry tree]

I thought top

[calm pulsar]

though some said the db interfered with the case

[tropic urchin]

That’s tuff

[steady halo]

i saw a lot of dead pcb and most similarities are having daughter and interfered with the cases

not sure if there is a circuit from daughter board to send electricity that is able to cook the mcu / pcb

[calm pulsar]

I think there's no wiring through the db if it's in the pcb, cause it is removable

[steady halo]

not the db tho?

[steady halo]

but the type c port is also removable

[tropic urchin]

I’m not tray mount

[calm pulsar]

yeah but if you remove it you can't use it in a gh60 case, but if you remove the db it doesnt change anything

in terms of wiring

[tropic urchin]

If you’re gummy oring Mount you remove left and keep middle

[steady halo]

true tho

[calm pulsar]

all I know is I used my venom in og frog mini without removing the db

[steady halo]

nah, I meant both port and db

this is a case where i need to be a detective

[calm pulsar]

@steady halo oh btw leggera gummy comes with its own little db

[steady halo]

because they made a sentence on the web product page about it

[steady halo]

yeah, the fly db

the worst db in this world

breaks easily

[kindred notch]

searching for info about some switches here in this channel i found a few messages about some "luminary switches"

what are these? some upcoming switches?

[tropic urchin]

New switches from Gateron

@sacred elm is luminary checker

Waiting patiently with his kdramas

[sacred elm]

unreleased gateron switches

[kindred notch]

are they supposed to be endgame switches or smth?

[sacred elm]

we dont know

[tropic urchin]

Probably not

Judging from their history of recolors over new shit

[sacred elm]

they said its not recolor

[tropic urchin]

I’m not saying luminary is specifically but I wouldn’t trust them to release new POMs

To shake up the meta

They’re going to be $0.7 ok switches

[kindred notch]

bruv

probably not worth waiting then

in my case

[sacred elm]

I want round stem and very little wobble

[tropic urchin]

Probably. I’d just get owlab or tikkens by EoY

[sacred elm]

wait for announcement

if its interesting switch, wait for it

if not, get something else

[kindred notch]

is this announcement anywhere close?

or do we not know anything

it will just appear someday

[sacred elm]

They said "very soon" last week

[kindred notch]

hm

i will wait until next week then maybe

[sacred elm]

Yeah

[kindred notch]

having everything BUT the switches really pisses me off

[tropic urchin]

Tuff

[calm pulsar]

yeah having no switches makes the typing experience horrible

[kindred notch]

i will put magnets inside my fingertips

and use that

ez

ohh wait

i found a page where i can buy switches with worldwide shipping

now i can explore other options outside gateron eheh

[tawdry tree]

Endgame means Gateron can’t improve them anymore, that does not make fucking money so it’s never happening. Not from Gateron at least

[sacred elm]

get owlab ti he then

[tawdry tree]

Midgame + 294648393 recolors is what Gateron is all about

(don’t report me to gateron pls, I want free lumaniries still)

[calm pulsar]

shafie filing a report as we speak

[kindred notch]

i remember not liking the sound much when i first saw them

will give them another try tho

any other really good switches rn?

clear/transparent ones would be even better, for rgb

Oh really?

I had to take mine out

Maybe was the kilmat getting in the way

[tawdry tree]

@austere creek aren’t multiplexers that far away dogshit for signal integrity? do you know?

it might not have been signal integrity but something else

I remember that they should be placed as close as possible to the keys they’re connected with

which most boards seem to follow exactly, including woot

[marble sierra]

As long as we can have Asians on it, we're all good

[tidal frigate]

You mean korean twitch streamers that multiply on screen?

[tidal frigate]

Tony dosent know anything. Centerpiece is better than wooting in latency

Wait your teling me there all fake... it's all been a lie

I mean could be worse, could be from Thailand

[little glen]

Wouldnt be a finalmouse product without changing stuff for no reason other to be different than everyone else and make the product worse in every way imaginable in the process

Still cant believe people will end up buying this

[polar girder]

https://tenor.com/view/gotem-gif-18695498

[calm pulsar]

bro desecrated his frog with kilmat ggs

[kindred notch]

i still like the jade airs over the other ones when it comes to sound + it has a better magnet it seems

i'll wait a bit for more reviews and opinions to surface and then i'll see

buying directly from gateron's website also feels safer so there's that

are any of these stabilizers better than stock 80he?

might aswell get everything at once

[glacial wind]

You’d basically just be buying a second set of stock stabs iirc

[kindred notch]

fair

[polar girder]

lol is it that bad?

I was young and dumb

[calm pulsar]

im just playin
I think it reduces the case noise by a lot, but on og frog I think the sound is already nice imo

[steady halo]

anyone here tried geon lucifer?

is it a skip or dip

[noble mason]

skip bc it’s open bottom

open bottom switches are dookie

[steady halo]

bro is trippin

the only closed bottom HE switch from geon rn is lucifer

[noble mason]

geon raw is closed bottom

lucifer’s are open

oh i’m wrong mb

they’re still mid

might as well get owlab ti’s

[steady halo]

i'm bored

with that switch

[noble mason]

ttc poms then

or wait for the lekker tikkens

[steady halo]

have those

don't like the plastic feel

i might purchase flux

[noble mason]

ur poor wallet LOL

idk if they’re even good

i heard the neo lavenders were good but they’re a bit outdated in terms of stem wobble

[chilly mural]

Semi closed

[tawdry tree]

🗣️🗣️

[tawdry tree]

I’m not sure how many would buy it. It’s in a weird place, especially for (performance oriented) finalmouse. It’s probably not that attracting to the competitive player/pro (even if performance is good [which I fucking doubt]) as it terrorizes peripheral vision (brings light pollution into your setup 💡). I think it would be attracting for the casual player and for productivity (including streamers and the likes) but a product for that demographic from finalmouse isn’t really fitting IMO.

[glacial wind]

Skip. They’re not great

Very mediocre entry level switches that were made just to give people a budget option for switches on his boards. They’re using an old mold and were not designed to be a better switch to his other options

[steady halo]

alrightt

is this dude bluffing?

under $200 fun 60 ultra tmr(?)

i've seen a couple of his vids on yt

seems to be a 3/10 reviewer imo

[chilly mural]

Technically correct since 80he is like $200+ with shipping.

[glacial wind]

Its miggs, I wouldn’t get my in depth or proper reviews from him

[steady halo]

oh, he is famous already for not proper reviews?

[glacial wind]

He just accepts any Chinese board, says it’s his new main and feels good then resells them

[chilly mural]

This makes me wonder, I wonder how the knob works with TMR

[glacial wind]

He doesn’t so much review as he does give overviews of the listed spec

his channel is just a way for him to make money from accepting Chinese boards and pumping affiliate links then reselling as far as I’ve seen

[steady halo]

tiger lite gaming(?)

[steady halo]

i see

[chilly mural]

Never seen him tried it, though I don't watch his channel

[glacial wind]

He recently made a video admitting the specs are lies and a lot of the boards don’t perform as good as they claim

That’s before we get to the fact that it’s raw specs and not how well the firmware runs, warranty and software updates long term etc

[chilly mural]

Long term software test to me is to see if they add what wooting add in the future. The knob in particular

[tawdry tree]

Brought to you by MonsGeek 🔥

[glacial wind]

I doubt any of them will, not to the level Wooting does knobs anyway

Only maybe venom

[tawdry tree]

1U knob requires magic

[chilly mural]

Venom idrc because geon prop going to sell wooting knob and board anyway

[tawdry tree]

only woot knows magic so far

[glacial wind]

but seeing how much work goes into making the knobs work well I’m not sure it’s even worth it for these oem boards

It would cost more then they’d make back just making an oem permanent knob model

[chilly mural]

Lmao

It could mean for the first 6-12 months only woot board have knob

[tawdry tree]

The big knob will prob be copied

as that’s easy

[glacial wind]

Yeah I assume they’ll just make a permanent big knob version

[tawdry tree]

small knob prob not in a long time

[tawdry tree]

doesn’t have to be perma, wouldn’t make sense to make that HE

[glacial wind]

Non replaceable knob that just sits in similar spot to wooting is easy to do as an oem, they don’t even need to make it replaceable

[tawdry tree]

I doubt the big knob is mechanically complicated

[glacial wind]

Yeah but the cost is the firmware

[steady halo]

i might want that knob for venom tkl

[tawdry tree]

even that is easy

[glacial wind]

They’re not going to want to invest in some he fancy replaceable knob

[tawdry tree]

compared to the small knob

[glacial wind]

yeah but both are way more then oem brands really want to invest

Even if small one is harder

Big one still I doubt makes sense to do as a he replaceable knob

[tawdry tree]

some OEMs, maybe

if they can’t make their own

[uneven cradle]

we only just got gamepad on venom and apparently that is very easy to implement

[tawdry tree]

gamepad is just licensing or something

that’s why it’s so rare

mostly*

[glacial wind]

It just costs so much money to get well tuned knob firmware done for a replaceable style knob like that. I can’t see these ones caring about making it the same way as wooting

[tawdry tree]

the OEM that did the Slice might

[glacial wind]

They can make and sell literally multiple oem models in the time and money it would cost to make a competing big knob

[tawdry tree]

they added new features as well

something most OEMs don’t do

[glacial wind]

If it’s slice it’ll be way down the line

[tawdry tree]

obv

if they can make their own, they will

[glacial wind]

I just don’t really see why they’d do it mostly

[tawdry tree]

same with non-OEM boards

[glacial wind]

It doesn’t make much monetary sense

[tawdry tree]

cause woot did it ;)

[glacial wind]

Brands don’t copy woot to be same. They copy woot to make money

If copying a feature loses them money they’re not just going to blindly copy it. They’ll just make a scuffed good enough version

[steady halo]

my only dream

is

wooting x geon

any collab product

[chilly mural]

At the very least, I can imagine Iqunix and Nuphy to be able to do it

[tawdry tree]

they copy features to stay competitive and keep an edge over other OEMs. lower prices only get them so far

[glacial wind]

Geon already sells Wooting products though

[steady halo]

that's only like working together for selling stuff

[glacial wind]

I think you’re missing what I’m saying

[tawdry tree]

I don’t think either would give a fuck honestly

[glacial wind]

I’m not saying g they won’t make a knob

[steady halo]

more like creating a new product

[glacial wind]

I’m saying they won’t make a knob the same way

[tawdry tree]

small one, prob not

[glacial wind]

They’ll make some scuffed knob that doesn’t really function the same and call it a day

[tawdry tree]

big one, I could see it

[peak breach]

I mean most of the knob is going to be software based

[glacial wind]

I don’t think they’ll make a similar one for either

[steady halo]

maybe a case wooting x geon, or switches, or cross compatible knob (i want that shit please )

[tawdry tree]

if it’s HE, you can’t really do much else

it can be trashy firmware but then it just doesn’t work well

and doesn’t get used ofc

[peak breach]

Cross compatible knob

[glacial wind]

Cross compatible knob would never happen

[steady halo]

NGL i love the 2x2 knob

[peak breach]

Benom users keep suffering

[steady halo]

yes

[tawdry tree]

I hope they can patent it honestly

[peak breach]

Good

[tawdry tree]

not that that’d do a whole lot

but it might

[steady halo]

like, i never love a knob on my keeb...
but that 2x2 knob looks

[peak breach]

I prefer a 1x1

[glossy pagoda]

For the hardware, getting to "eh good enough" is hard, getting to "this is great" is really hard.
For the software, getting to "eh good enough" is somewhat tricky, getting to "this is great" is a gargantuan undertaking

[tawdry tree]

1U is where the magic happens

2U not so much

[uneven cradle]

it looks like it always belonged there on the 80HE

[peak breach]

Dunno

Looks a bit weird to spin

[glacial wind]

I’m still impressed some folks in discord managed to get gaslit into believing knob wasn’t for sure a thing

[peak breach]

To close to the other keys

[glacial wind]

Even after we already got told it was lol

[peak breach]

Because they pretended it wasnt for months after

[tawdry tree]

it took a long time

[glossy pagoda]

The infamous Calder impromptu discord stage event at 3am

[glacial wind]

That’s what they do for most leaks and things

[peak breach]

They could have canceled the project

[tawdry tree]

I thought they fumbled 😭

[glacial wind]

Remember the wooting 60he pro or the upgraded switches

[uneven cradle]

Good thing the 60HE v2 wasn't leaked

[glacial wind]

both were confirmed in videos or leaks and were pretended it wasn’t a thing until some folks believed it

[glossy pagoda]

There is no knob in Ba Sing Se

[glacial wind]

I did use my new onboarded powers to confirm to myself what guessed products are real or not

Pity I lose the ability to guess in chat now though

[uneven cradle]

no more moist switchy leaks

[tawdry tree]

no need to guess when we have jakub

[glacial wind]

The end of moist era

[peak breach]

What is next for wooting

[glossy pagoda]

Bruh leaking already

[peak breach]

New 2he probably

[glossy pagoda]

Is that public yet? xD

[peak breach]

Boomers gotta boom

[glacial wind]

Yeah sander leaked it

[uneven cradle]

Sander kind of leaked it on stream

[tawdry tree]

80HE v2 obv

[glossy pagoda]

Oh lol nice

[glacial wind]

He also leaked what light he uses which I clipped for shafies benefit

[uneven cradle]

does Sander use Sony lenses

[glacial wind]

I think he uses 3rd party actually, maybe that’s why the stream cam crashed

It was protesting

His a6600 was demanding a superior lens

[uneven cradle]

not first party Sony lens?

[glass comet]

on the wooting site it says the lekker tikkens have a click lifespan of 100 million what happens if i get to 100,000,001?

[glossy pagoda]

Well in that case, let me be among the first to welcome you to the Wooting Team, Jed

[glossy pagoda]

It’s the test to see if you can handle the work required to succeed there

[uneven cradle]

it's where all the best streamers originate from

[jade prairie]

Lets see if lord of the mysteries is peak

its not

[glacial wind]

Oh hey my polar pro+ switches finally shipped

[fringe quarry]

he leaked you too :o

[glacial wind]

I do think our content crew needs a better branding name though

The brainrot crew isn’t doing it

[glossy pagoda]

Agreed

I'm still salty about that time I tried to have a serious conversation about tariffs and Sander put subway surfers on the side >_>

[austere creek]

why... id have turned off the stream if there wasnt mc/subway surfers

[glacial wind]

Mark is more of a cs surf kind of guy

[austere creek]

ah

[gaunt plume]

Huano Omega Magnetic Switch

[little glen]

that was a good stream tho

[snow yarrow]

You have unionwell polar pro switches right? Are they better than ws flux when it comes to wobble? @gaunt plume

(im just looking for a reason to buy new switches, why am i like this )

[glacial wind]

the chinese reviews have been saying it feels smooth like a ws flux/drunkdeer flux but without the price

mine is still on the way, but at least it's in transit now lol

[snow yarrow]

Well, time to order some new switches then ig

[glacial wind]

i'm still unsure how the topout will feel and if i'll like it, but we'll see

might explain the slowness on flux timeline

[rare kraken]

Guys I need help how do I get insert on my 60HE?

[trail bane]

Flux😘🌹

[thorn zealot]

What insert

[drowsy agate]

New wooting60HEv2 and wooting80HE Which is better?

[steady halo]

@calm pulsar u there?

[thorn zealot]

Performance basically the same

[sacred elm]

Depends which layout you prefer

[thorn zealot]

Pick whether u want a 60 or 80% layout

[sacred elm]

60he v2 comes with better switches tho, if you plan to buy prebuilt

[steady halo]

if geon can't restock leggera next week

i'm forced to purchase redux

[thorn zealot]

Last time I’ve heard abt an update on leggera restock was that it will be in like July

[steady halo]

yeah, i saw it too

but the end of july is too long for me

the estimation was 31st july

or 30th

too long for me

[thorn zealot]

Yeah might as well get redux with brass

[steady halo]

yep

i like the looks of it

the only reason for me getting leggera is "geon"

[thorn zealot]

Yeah I got the leggera on the day it released with some other ppl here

[steady halo]

i had leggera before ngl

[thorn zealot]

Cuz I wanted a new layout and actual oring mount

[steady halo]

and i got the t version before as well

from typist club

waited for a whole month to arrive at my doorstep

never had a redux unless it's a commission build

i tried 3 leggera's before

[drowsy agate]

I still prefer the 80HE layout because the 60HEv2 layout looks weird to me.Then buy a silicone plate and press it into 80HE, and there will be basically no difference.

[steady halo]

1 t black, 1 g acrylic, 1 g green

[sacred elm]

buy what?

[steady halo]

there is no silicone plate bro

[sacred elm]

its just 60% layout, hows it weird

[steady halo]

i think 60% is the best looking layout tho

tsangan specially

[drowsy agate]

It should be a problem with my translation software.
