The certified lateron "not a recolor" switch sure do be lookin a lot like a recolor for not being a recolor

cloud pivot
#

all this switch discussion "sounds" so silly when you realize vintage ks-20v1s sound best

#

just like vintage stock mx blacks

#

first past the post = best past the post đŸ’€

how long did it take for you guys to receive kbdfans tofu redux? North america specifically

tranquil iris
#

Wtf is this their second store or someone impersonating them

#

I click on the first then second order btw

tawdry tree
#

second store

#

it’s pretty common on ali

#

I think one is handled by ali (i.e ali’s warehouse where items get shipped from)

#

and the other by themselves

tranquil iris
#

Also I have this poron foam laying around should I cut a hole where the cable connects to the module

trail bane

and standoffs

Also there is a plastic foil on it is there any reason to keep it ?

It’s some 3mm "Poron" from Amazon

tawdry tree
tranquil iris
tawdry tree
#

oh for the GT-80, just lay it in and trace the cable route and db

#

then cut it out

#

prob have to cut the side too if it’s foam for a TKL

tranquil iris
#

But thank you now I know I need to cut the whole cable path

tawdry tree
#

you can try to cut a little hole too and routing the cable through the foam and below it

#

might work

#

just try whatever haha

tranquil iris
#

Thanks for the help^^

#

When foaming a keyboard does thickness (2mm-4mm) matter alot? Or is it more based on the space available in the case.

#

Anyone has a soundtest of the Owl Lab Ti’s with the GT-80 case?

tropic urchin
#

I spring swapped mine (42.5g from 50g) and have them on a different board now, but they were a good/balanced clack on GT80. Nothing crazy loud if that’s a concern

knotty bobcat
tranquil iris
#

Ive went trough the channel and some ppl mentioned the elf king, its sounds good or what ? Also Ive seen these holes too they are just marketing right

tall hollow

it’s for “cooling”

💀

tranquil iris
#

yeah something about magnetic disorder due to heat lol

cyan lark
#

It's the magnetic distortion from humidity you gotta look out for

tawdry tree
tranquil iris
#

tought maybe it slightly change the sound profile or sum

tawdry tree
#

it has a bigger impact on sound than heat for sure

#

(still not noticeable)

tranquil iris
#

we never know, maybe the holes are game changers when you play in a 50C (for mericas 122 F) environment

trail bane
#

On same tier as owlab ti/duhuks, but don’t know if they’re better

@flat cobalt ordered a GT-80 case!!! Really excited to get it in the upcoming weeks!!!

#

they got me for 45% on benom and kbdfans keycap set from Canada @thorn zealot

#

nobody is really safe if china has any involvement in the purchase in terms of where it was made from

trail bane
#

40usd shipping + tax and maybe more

thorn zealot
#

Imagine payin tariffs

prisma stump
tropic urchin
#

hopefully his wont have any, but if its coming from china directly i would assume the worst

#

hopefully it will be DHL and they will let you pay it online vs having fedex take payment on delivery which is cringe af

thorn zealot
#

Nah kbdfans are shippin from their us warehouses now for us orders

#

Or at least that was the case when I ordered last month

maybe not then smile

Lol

#

WHAT

trail bane
#

OG ones

prisma stump
#

$180 for switches is insane

trail bane
#

130 for regular one(90pcs)

tranquil iris
# trail bane Yep

they look crazy whats so special tho, better manufacturing quality so less wobble or deviation or what ?

trail bane
trail bane
#

They are pretty same as OG POMs

But more clackier

And fancier

tulip rapids

#

hmm I mean im 400 switches in and not a single one touched a keyboard

tulip rapids
#

i use to own geons before

prisma stump
sweet oak
#

so how much different are lumia to ti hes? are they just a cheaper alt or are we talking housing differences

tulip rapids
tulip rapids
#

not on 80he

prisma stump
#

Owl lab’s minimal stem wobble and similar sound profile to the Jade Pro’s pique my interest aswell as the price

tawdry tree
#

no difference in spring length either afaik

hell yeah vintage gat vs vintage grain gold

Vintage Gateron Magnetic X Vintage Hejin Magnetic đŸ”„

whatever came with my raven68 might be vintage grain gold i think

tawdry tree
tawdry tree
#

Raven comes with the walled stem

cloud pivot
#

oh rofl

tawdry tree
#

Teamwolf or someshit

#

Light Winds, that’s what they’re called

#

so housing is vintage but stem ain’t

cloud pivot
#

yeah one change above raptors

#

sadge

#

they were also strangely massively oiled up

#

compared to bone dry raptors

tawdry tree
#

bro nobody knows wtf hejin was thinking when they oiled Black Knights, Light Winds, Hejin Teal and Yellows

#

they had to have dipped all those in a bath of oil

#

straight up

cloud pivot
#

it wasnt even good lubricant oil either shit was like yellow

tawdry tree
#

yeah lmao

#

with their yellow switches, the oil ate the coloring

#

so everything was even more yellow

#

stained top and bottom housing

#

😭😭

cloud pivot
#

i seriously think it might be cooking oil

tawdry tree
#

LOL

cloud pivot
#

but nope

tawdry tree
#

only good thing about light winds is that if you match them with a Raw HE top, you got TTC level wobble

#

before TTC KoMs were a thing iirc

cloud pivot
#

wadefok

#

tolerance gambling 👑

tawdry tree
#

best franken in terms of wobble reduction without the friction stem swapped raptors had

cloud pivot
#

also its funny how geon went from bone dry raptors to doubling down on raws being overlubed as huzz

#

we love sticky starts

tawdry tree
#

wasn’t even overlube per se, just kinda bad top housing design

cloud pivot
#

iirc some got better results from wiping the lune

#

still bad tho

#

at least they are kinda cheap

tawdry tree
#

yeah, when you wipe off the lube between the stem and top housing the stickiness was almost completely gone

tawdry tree
cloud pivot
#

speaking of which i cant believe jade v1s still costing that much in big 25

they should have taken the courtesy to do a perma discount

Ok thank you for the information

i almost pulled the trigger on ks-20 oranges back then

ah

yeah they are never discounting their shi bruh

Speaking of never discounting + nobody buying, when will fluxies go on sale

tawdry tree
cloud pivot
#

ali coin discount goes pretty rough on em

#

i wonder why

cloud pivot
#

LOL

#

wait the magnet strength location is offset on it nvm

tawdry tree
cloud pivot
#

its it n pole offset or s

tawdry tree
#

I literally have no clue which board it’s compatible with

tawdry tree
#

like the KS-37 series

#

but it’s reversed too

cloud pivot
#

watesiggma

#

gateron just be making anything đŸ„€

tawdry tree
#

so normal KS-37s have the N pole facing towards the light window iirc and the fox has the opposite

cloud pivot
#

since it doesnt seem to have the tube

tawdry tree
#

yeah it could be

#

but then you’re blocking the LED

sweet oak
#

alrighty, bought me some herz

tawdry tree
#

so

cloud pivot
#

so its like a last ditch option for ks37b owners to have southfacing

#

incredible

tawdry tree

buying ks-37 boards has always been a selfscam

it’s only fair

atk68 owners must be feeling it hard rn

can anyone help me ?

tawdry tree
cloud pivot
#

LOL

#

i initially thought atk68 would fare out better against dd g65

dapper nebula
#

my backspace key is stuck xd i modded the black keyboard, did i apply the top right screw to tight?

cloud pivot
#

incredible how dd kept that shit updated longer in the end

#

still a horrible company though

tawdry tree

ATK68 was good for a month

#

after that

#

cloud pivot

mad60he before it was cool

tawdry tree

real

dapper nebula
tawdry tree
#

did you overlube the stabs?

#

(if you even lubed them)

dapper nebula
#

i applied not too much

#

i was careful

tawdry tree
#

alright

#

does the backspace key get really stuck, or does it feel more like friction

#

so you can pull it back up but it’s sluggish

dapper nebula
#

no its super stuck

#

i cant even pull it up

tawdry tree
#

lol

cloud pivot
#

inb4 crooked keycap

sacred elm
#

reassemble the stab

tawdry tree
dapper nebula
cloud pivot
#

oh nvm hes using stock wooting caps

tawdry tree
#

and make a picture of the switch and stab if you can

cloud pivot
#

not third rate chinesium

dapper nebula

#

30$ "PBT XDA KEYCAP SETS" are so fire

dapper nebula
#

omg i gotta take everything off again

#

ughh

tawdry tree
cloud pivot
#

bad pbt mix with accelerated shining
bad pbt mix with dead sound
bad qc + using pbt = crookfest

#

this is why aifei is the only valid option in that paygrade of keycaps

tawdry tree
cloud pivot
#

true

dapper nebula
cloud pivot
#

at least those 30$ dyesub pbt xda sets dont fuckin CRACK

tawdry tree
tawdry tree
dapper nebula
#

i only applied lube for the switches and greas for the stabiliziers

#

the prebuilt 60he module

#

that comes originially

tawdry tree
cloud pivot
#

hm how about this

#

take that kc off and shoot some pics of the stabs

tawdry tree
#

that comes with plate mounted stabilizers so you don’t need to disassemble the whole board

cloud pivot
#

i feel like this issue is better diagnosed with picture references

tawdry tree
#

it’s probably an easy fix

#

surely

dapper nebula
#

looks like this

#

but when i put any key on it , it instantly gets stuck

tawdry tree
#

okay, do you have a switch puller?

dapper nebula
#

i cba taking off all the keycaps now xd

tawdry tree
#

you don’t need to

dapper nebula
tawdry tree
#

take the switch off

#

and take the stabs out

cloud pivot
#

oooh i might have an idea

#

try putting the kc back and press really hard on both sides

#

sometimes the kc doesnt fit both stems on the stabilizers properly

dapper nebula
#

tawdry tree
#

keyboard implodes

dapper nebula
#

nop

#

doesnt work

cloud pivot
#

sadge

#

yeah stab assembly inspection time it is i think

tawdry tree
#

I wanna see if taking the stabs out, and just using the switch alone doesn’t cause it

#

if it doesn’t, then it’s the stabs (very likely)

dapper nebula
#

shibal

#

can i take the stabs out without taking everything apart again

cloud pivot
#

yes

tawdry tree
#

yeah

cloud pivot
#

just press on both clips

tawdry tree
#

remove the switch first

cloud pivot
#

and fling it out

#

lowk miss how easy plate stabs are to work with ngl

cloud pivot
#

pcb mount wire popout = have fun desoldering everything

tawdry tree
cloud pivot
#

it sucks that txap are the best plate stabs

#

knight plate stabs please speed i need this

tawdry tree
#

designer studio’s aren’t good?

cloud pivot
#

designer studio is fine but they dont have tpu inserts on the wire clip i think

#

which txap does

tranquil iris
#

now Im too deep in, so I can get new keycaps too, but how I can get into keycaps, heard gmk is pretty solid and I like unique ones like the gmk cosmos

tawdry tree
dapper nebula
#

i took the stab out

#

and now its not stuck anymore

cloud pivot
tawdry tree
dapper nebula
#

yes

cloud pivot
#

i had their pcb mount set and it felt nothing special

dapper nebula
#

just the switch and keycap

#

and its not stuck

cloud pivot
#

tpu clip >>

tawdry tree
#

or make a couple pics and send em

cloud pivot
#

god i love how superior wuque stupids are to txap for 1/3 the price

tawdry tree
#

but durock v3s use the same system

#

copied designer studio

cloud pivot
#

yeah and durock v3s kinda suck so eh

tawdry tree
#

I didn’t mind em

trail bane
#

Durock stabs are suck

cloud pivot
#

tpu on wire clip just makes more sense i think

#

ws stupid are goated for this

#

doing what txap does without extremely tight tolerance issues

#

and 1/3 the price

tawdry tree
tawdry tree
cloud pivot
#

you should get one they are like magic

dapper nebula
cloud pivot
#

the tpu they use for the wire clip and housing is so soft and thick

dapper nebula
#

looks fine to me idk

#

or too much lube

tawdry tree

not sure what this is

#

is that a loose piece

in geon's smart store (korean web) the 6.25u has more than 1k purchases iirc

while 7u still <100(?)

Because no one wants 7u

It's going to be worth it

does anyone know why wooting won't make standoffs on the pcb?

rather than making it on plate

that's my biggest downside about wooting

@steady halo why you sold 80he

I think 7u on a separate sku could have some uses (not talking abt it being niche enthusiast thing lol)

7u split would’ve been easier to switch to full spacebar since it’s symmetrical and less hassle with key sizes and plate could be done easier also (normal spacebar and split central key in one spot)

and pitching bigger ctrl and alt keys would’ve been nice for gamers too, like they did with split sb

Hello everyone
Are the ttc pom kom the best switches in the market?

glacial wind
#

depends what you're looking for

celest parrot
#

Hmm
Good sound profile and stability

glacial wind
#

it really depends on how stable you're looking for

#

owlab ti he is more popular for sound while being very stable but not quite as stable as a ttc pom

celest parrot
#

Like not moving at all
Only intentional movement

glacial wind
#

there's no such thing as no moving

celest parrot
#

Excuse my bad English

glacial wind
#

even the most stable switch has a small amount of wiggle

celest parrot
#

I ment least wiggle room

glacial wind
#

if you want least wiggle room then yeah ttc pom is good

#

you could also look at some new options but they're not as tested yet

#

such as unionwell polar pro+

celest parrot
#

Ok I'll check them all out
Thank you for your time

@glacial wind imma skip on the pulsar fingertip

#

SwitchyCry no traditional dongle like the viper v3 pro

#

idk why they like to take it out

glacial wind
#

what do you mean no dongle?

ionic breach
#

the old dongle without wire

#

these types which i prefer using

glacial wind
#

oh yeah almost no brands do those

ionic breach
#

i got the beast x instead which do

glacial wind
#

once they moved to 2k+ the dongles got big

ionic breach
#

its also why i got the superlight instead of the vv3 pro last time

glacial wind
#

most folks also don't recommend using those small ones either

ionic breach

which i regret lmao

they sometimes have polling/signal issues

i'm probably waiting until x4 to get the pulsar fingertip

#

not too keen on them waiting until x4 version to do more weight savings

ionic breach
#

fair

#

they are suprisingly heavy

#

for a fingertip

glacial wind
#

i wouldn't mind as much if the crazylight wasn't lighter

#

for me it doesn't make much sense to have the fingertip version of a crazylight be heavier than it

#

do you guys recommend tape modding?

glacial wind
#

Personal preference. Some switches sound nicer with more, some with none or less

#

I wouldn’t call it a high priority mod by any means, more of one you do to tweak the sound a little

Super quick and rough look at polar pro+ vs poms

#

Definitely clacky pitch is a little lower than poms. Wobble is just as good as poms from a feel perspective, no idea about actual gauss comparison though

#

due to the round stem you notice the stem wobble a lot less than boxy pom stem, which could be why some folks are saying they have less stem wobble than poms (looks like sameish amount of wobble to me)

#

I’d say poms have a tad less top wobble

#

stock lube is very light too. There's a little bit on the rails but it's extremely light, I would definitely self lube these

#

will have to play more with them properly in a board, but i think they're a nice small upgrade from poms in that I don't feel the stem as much when using them while they still feel very stable, but need to play around more and see how it feels over time

trail bane
glacial wind
#

i need to hand lube a polar pro+ for fair comparison i think. Their sound is a bit muffled and not as clean due to the poor factory lube vs hand lubed poms and owlab ti he

little egret
#

does anyone know or has done a custom ISO plate for the 60HE?

#

i want to make a custom DT60 build but they dont have the supported plate but do consider custom making one if they have the file

glacial wind
#

You can really notice the muffled sound of these without hand lube in this friction fit pc plate setup

#

i think they're going to be very much like TTC kom rgb/pom where the sound is not great without hand lube, but a lot better hand lubed

glacial wind
#

Okay now with one hand lubed polar pro+ with same switch positions. It cleaned up the sound a lot but it’s still much more muted and I don’t think polar pros will be popular for sound enthusiasts

#

Wobble is amazingly tight after hand lube though.

trail bane
#

Hype

glacial wind
#

it literally feels like the polar pros don't wobble at all (at bottom out)

little glen
uneven cradle
glacial wind
#

owlab vs. pom vs polar pro (same as before

#

pom you can notice the top to bottom and left to right wiggle tiny bit, but with polar pro+ feels like these don't move

#

they still have tiny bit of wiggle of course but you don't feel the stem wall so it feels like it's basically completely not moving at all. These are definitely on par with flux for amazing feeling at the bottom out

chilly mural
glacial wind
#

yep. I think anyone who cares about sound needs to hand lube these though, which is going to really suck if you hate lubing

#

the split stem is a pain in the ass to lube, but you can see in first and second video the difference. There's a lot of muffled rattle if you don't hand lube (similar to unlubed ttc)

#

hand lubing requires you taking apart the stem then lubing the inside then lubing the other little part as well, probably take you twice as long to lube a set of these vs. normal switches

little egret
trail bane
#

Ngl Elf King like 0.55usd switch the best sounding TTC switch so far

glacial wind
#

feels like a bit pricy for mx stem is the problem, when you have so many good mx options like owlab and ur ultra/duhuk lamia

trail bane
#

But owlabs is more stable

#

Owlabs is 0.59$
Duhuk lumia is 0.45$

trail bane
glacial wind
#

wait why are your owlabs so expensive

trail bane
#

Maybe on ali they way cheaper

glacial wind
#

yeah they're waaay cheaper

#

like 0.48 without coupon and even lower if you use coins and coupon

trail bane
#

Yeah even on swagkeys they cost 4.50

glacial wind
#

I think the polar pro+ will be my main for now, but man it's going to take an entire evening to hand lube these

trail bane
chilly mural
#

at least lubing it makes it sounds close to Owlab to me, though at that point I just stick with owlab since it has dat good sound by default.

glacial wind
#

i'm really curious about gaterons version now

#

does their fully enclosed bottom half hide the muffly not great sound

chilly mural
#

time to wait I guess

trail bane
glacial wind
#

the problem i think is the muffly sound comes from the actual split stem I feel

chilly mural
#

if it's as stable and lubed well for $1, it might be a better choice.

glacial wind
#

so i'm not sure the gaterons will 'fix' this issue

chilly mural
#

we'll see

glacial wind

#

I’ll be waiting for shafie and your opinion cuz he’s getting them for free

glacial wind
#

well shafie isn't getting those

#

he's getting the he luminary switches, which isn't those split stem ones

#

his look like just recolored box stems of some sort lol

chilly mural
#

waow

ah, yeah i'll buy those too anyway, it's part of my job now to test all the new switches

although i actually emailed gateron to see if they can just send me switches since it's beneficial for them anyway to get tested and checked, but they never replied so guess i have to do it old fashioned way

I hoped polar pros would sound better than poms but they're ass for sound
tikken/ti he for me still

Sounds like mathew silentsmile

calm pulsar
#

found @median fog's keyboard

glacial wind
#

i'm also fairly sure anyone trying to hand lube these who doesn't love lubing is going to go crazy

#

i'm fairly satisfied for them for gaming though, since they're the tightest feeling switch i've ever had

#

oh wait actually i should ping @quasi hinge - he's the one who will go crazy for stability

chilly mural
calm pulsar
#

their bottom out feels kinda mushy (soundwise), I assume that's due to the split stem design
I know that mounting can make or break a switch tho

#

if @stray tiger could test them in frog mini would be nice 🙂

calm pulsar
glacial wind
#

yeah that mushy/muted sound i think is due to split stem and not sure they can ever fully remove it

calm pulsar
# glacial wind

kinda hard to tell but it looks like their rails are longer than usual, wouldn't be surprised if they're rbo

#

or if they're pole bottom out, then the mushyness comes from split stem dampening vibrations from the bottom

glacial wind
#

yeah it's hard to say because of the whole split wobble feature thing i don't even know which hits first

#

theoretically i think it's both, which could be why it has that mushy bottom out as one hits then the other right after

#

hrm or magnet maybe

#

I think the magnet sticks out tiniest bit further so it’s probably magnet on plastic bottom out

get the stability benefit of square walled stem but doesn't have that distinct top/bottom left/right feel when you wobble the square stem against the housing

A while back I failed to pull the trigger on the jade pro’s, which at the time were a top “light but long spring” contender
.along with the
