Actual review unit! dogekek

#

Is it not too loose either like mine was?

#

You actually, genuinely got a perfect one?

#

Also the spacebar will require a heavier spring

#

They’re pretty odd though. Seems like a Jade Gaming stem with an old KS-20 top housing and then a new even shallower bottom housing (3mm total travel).

stoic ocean
#

And do you recommend me to build a gasket mount venom or tray mount

#

The problem every case i found are tray mount or something else should stay on tray?

there are some moments i want venom

but there are some moments i want to smash my venom

if only there is a polling rate selector on venom

i would be happy

stray tiger
steady halo
#

that's actually smart huh

stray tiger
steady halo
#

ngl

#

the main issue for me not using my venom

#

is only the polling rate

#

macOS & linux stutters because of the 8k polling ratekermit_coaster

steady halo
sacred elm
#

If it does then you can can disable it and polling will be locked to 250hz

sacred elm
#

Yea, wootings polling is 250hz with NKRO disabled

#

should be same with venom

steady halo
#

i might try it later when i finish my moving and such

#

but maybe some people who use venom here can authenticate it for me,
i would appreciate and tag meSwitchyHeart

but thanks @sacred elm for the info

This is on an M4 Max MacBook Pro

Ay fellow m4 max aficionado

tulip rapids
#

this is how i view this channel

#

"Let's see thockfather's keyboard"

steady halo
#

i only use mac mini m2 pro

#

and macbook air m3 with the highest specs and such

#

ngl the m4 max is calling me, but I can't afford the price for now and I'm still happy with what i have

steady halo
# tall hollow No

odd,
the stutters always appear when i'm typing quite fast.
When i'm typing nice and slow, the stutters don't appear as much

glacial wind
#

Are you connecting direct to the Mac?

steady halo
glacial wind
#

I don’t think I’ve had any stutters on my m1 max in the past

steady halo
#

iirc, stutters also appear when i'm using a lot of keys (but this happens more often on venom) because of shortcut keys with layer keys.

#

idk man, maybe i just need to slow down my typing speed

#

±128 wpm

how does it feel to be above us sno?

tulip rapids

i think it quite suits him🧐

steady halo
glacial wind
#

I do miss being able to speculate on upcoming stuff though

steady halo
#

but still waiting on jed's first wooting vid

tulip rapids
#

its like when a rich family come to the foster home and pick a child out

glacial wind
#

I can’t speculate now because I know what’s coming

tulip rapids

sno is above us now. He's wooting royalty

glacial wind

steady halo

did you apply for that role or they just offered it to you?

steady halo

since jed is a part of wooting's team, he's typing very slow to not leak anything

calm pulsar

bongurix2 = jed's typing speed before becoming a part of wooting's team

bonguri_10 = jed's typing speed after

#

On the topic of Macs though I feel you don’t need to upgrade that often these days

#

Those m chips are so powerful

ngl...
if i have something important that's not allowed to leak, i would type super slow like a sloth

uneven cradle
#

True, 4 year old MacBook going strong not that I do much on it aside from editing photos and web browsing dogekek

tulip rapids
#

anyone use video edit software?

steady halo
glacial wind
#

Editing wise the max is pretty crazy cause of the extra encoders

steady halo
#

that's the reason i wanna upgrade my macbook air

glacial wind
#

like my M1 Max outperforms m4 pro still for encoding things

tulip rapids
#

i want to get into editing videos i just dont know which one to use. I know apple has a great one but im not going to drop 2k for a macbook atm

glacial wind
#

M4 max is nice though since they upgraded the encoders a bit, but I’ll use the m4 max for desktop and my old m1 for on the go stuff

steady halo
glacial wind
#

they don’t have the max chip for the extra fast encoding but even Mac minis handle basic video stuff

steady halo
tulip rapids
steady halo
#

it's fast enough as far as my friend's experience

uneven cradle
#

Yeah mac mini is dope

glacial wind
#

Yeah every creator was freaking out over the Mac mini release earlier this year cause for under $700 it performed crazy good

tulip rapids
#

was the mac mini never a thing before?

steady halo
glacial wind
#

Even the pc fans were impressed with the value for money there

glacial wind
tulip rapids
#

maybe im thinking of the mac studio

calm pulsar
#

in bed

glacial wind
#

if you do too many upgrades you must as well have bought a Mac Studio basically

uneven cradle
steady halo
#

what i don't like is the mac mini storage can't be upgraded by the users themselves

glacial wind
tulip rapids
#

i see i didnt know this

glacial wind
#

So you get he best cpu even in a Mac mini

#

They add a few cores and such for pricier models but the cpu is the same so single core speed is crazy good

uneven cradle
#

Also requires no fan since it's so efficient and makes 0 noise

glacial wind
#

Yeah they run so efficient that it’s basically silent

uneven cradle
#

Yeah I think it does have a fan but it runs so quietly, I don't think I've ever heard the fan on my MacBook ever

tulip rapids
#

so basically im better off getting the mac mini and using final cut pro or imovie instead of using other video edit softwares?

glacial wind
#

You can use the free da Vinci studio to get started too

#

Davinci is extremely well optimized for Mac

thorn zealot
#

Tmr is national capybara day, which means the capy60 is hella discounted

steady halo
#

ngl, i kinda regret spending almost 1,8k on the macbook air m3 when it first released

glacial wind
#

Basically only reason to go for the max chip models is if you do full time video editing stuff then you benefit from the faster encoding speeds

#

But you pay twice the price for the 2x gpu power

steady halo
glacial wind
#

Ultra model is its own thing for YouTubers and ai devs I think lol

steady halo
glacial wind
#

That price is too crazy for normal folks

tulip rapids
glacial wind
#

Yeah davinci resolve

tulip rapids
#

thx i'll look into it

glacial wind
#

The free tier is quite powerful

#

I use Final Cut myself but I still use da Vinci for color grading and a lot of newer editors edit solely on da Vinci these days even on Mac just cause they got used to the free tier then upgraded to full package

tulip rapids
#

i heard of capcut

#

but idk how good that is

velvet creek
#

Just want to know how you guys feel about this case (not an advertisement)

glacial wind
#

Capcut isn’t bad if you just do basic stuff, but really if you want to get into video editing you want to learn one of the main softwares

#

capcut is more for folks who don’t want to learn video editing and just want something simple for basic things

tulip rapids
#

i just want to mess around in it and see if i like it

#

but i'll try out davinci

glacial wind
#

Its like what a teacher making videos of her classroom might use for example

tulip rapids
#

since i already own a pc and dont want to drop 700 on mac mini just yet

glacial wind
#

yeah da vinci resolve is on both Mac and windows and works the same on both so that’s a nice thing

#

let’s people easily swap between systems without needing to relearn

tulip rapids
#

i appreciate your advice on this snopepesalute

glacial wind
#

Yeah np

#

Honestly I think big reason you see a lot of editors on Mac is more just that their laptops are goated lol

#

Since davinci works on both systems, it’s more that a lot of folks realized MacBooks are crazy powerful and the best laptops you can buy

#

do we have any idea if the 60 he v2 is coming / with just module like the first Gen? if i grab a v1 60 he module slap it in one of the Alumaze60 cases, am i okay just to add in Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro Switch - 70pcs + keycaps and Call it a day or will i need foam Lube etc First time buid.

calm pulsar
#

as for lube, most of switches are prelubed these days so it's not really needed

glacial wind
#

yep pretty much what arc said

#

the modules all come pre assembled as the whole module sandwich so there's no need to add your own foam etc to it. It's just module into case and you're good

tall hollow
steady halo
glacial wind
#

are you talking the v2?

steady halo
#

and there are no extra plate foams for tray mount case?

steady halo
#

that means if someone wants to use a tight tolerance case, they have to purchase extra plate foam outside right?

glacial wind
#

i believe they were looking into having the foams included with module so that folks can swap to tray mount, but i haven't checked recently. Good question to ask in next livestream probably

steady halo
glacial wind
#

but i do believe that was the direction they were looking in wanting to have the extra bits included with the module so that folks had the option to tray mount

steady halo
#

silicone and epdm

#

but this is for plate foam

glacial wind
#

yeah kind of like that where you'd just get the other bit to swap in

steady halo

some stores and sites had them listed at 3.3, but it's not even that. They're 3.5 according to both gateron site and their official docs

jades are 3.3 as I’ve said a million times already

trail bane
#

tawdry tree
#

jade lps are 3.3 too

tawdry tree
glacial wind
#

whatever measuring gateron uses is 3.5 though

since their own docs say 3.5 for all the jade stuff

tawdry tree

gateron doesn’t measure

calm pulsar
#

I've seen a kailh low profile mx switch the other day that had 0.8mm travelCatBla

#

or maybe 0.8mm actuation

tawdry tree
#

you can get 0.4mm or so total travel and still use the board

#

with travel limiters

#

but then rt becomes obsolete, kinda

calm pulsar
#

ofc

tawdry tree
#

fun tho

#

even more fun with a steel washer

#

it feels like tactile

#

nah

#

more like rubber dome

#

when the stem gets pulled down slightly

#

not even pulled down, just a slight decrease in pressing force necessary at bottom out

calm pulsar
#

nah I need some resistance for control, assisted bottom out like that would probably feel weird for me

tawdry tree
#

it feels weird af but interesting too

#

either way, a fat steel washer between the sensor and magnet isn’t really a great idea

cloud pivot
#

no matter how soft the orings are

#

i had my copre (yes thats cope + topre) arc and im just glad i got out of it

tawdry tree
calm pulsar
cloud pivot
#

yeah its still really nowhere near

#

true domes just dissipate force better and more efficiently

#

only copre aspect that really somewhat gets there is sound

tawdry tree
#

I guess it won’t even work well since the magnet will be too far away from the steel washer (because of the silicone washer in between) to attract to the steel properly.

cloud pivot
#

because outemu silents with very soft rubber inserts or frozen silent v2s can thock pretty hard

#

fsv2 bottom out feel is far softer than mx and any other mx silent too

#

but still nowhere near true domes

tawdry tree
#

you can choose the thickness of the silicone washers, so that’s not really an issue if you just want something silent and very similar to raeds when it comes to bottom out sound

#

the feeling of domes ofc can’t really be replicated

#

but the drop in force like that feels more akin to domes than a regular tactile

cloud pivot
#

close to raeds maybe

#

since they are intentionally made with an as linear as possible force curve

#

but heavier topre domes (45g and above) have a larger gradient

tawdry tree
#

it’s just the drop in force

cloud pivot

ultimately ttc should just make HE fsv2

Hello
Before purchasing I thought that the straight cable could be connected to the output of the coiled cable, and it is not, i'm looking for a workaround
Keeping the coiled cable always plugged in, and switch to my secondary PC by plugging the fgh/fgg connector to the coiled
rebuying the full set is an option but very expensive (i only need the long cable), so if you have another recommandation, i can only found 4 pins connector on the web
Thanks 😉

lethal ingot
#

Safer?

tropic urchin
#

Safer option

lethal ingot
#

Ah

tropic urchin
#

Less likelihood of them disliking it, it’s more of a standard weight

lethal ingot
#

Ah alright

#

Is the stock 80HE switch 50g?

tropic urchin
#

The Lekkers I believe come in 45g/60g

#

I’ve tried so far 42.5g/45g/50g/52.5g and have preferred the 42.5g-45g range over the heavier ones

lethal ingot
#

Alright, thanks!

#

So 40g has less force needed for each actuation but most people use 50g because it’s more standard right

tropic urchin
lethal ingot
#

kk

tropic urchin
#

Which can happen for light springs, but you can just raise the actuation as well if that happens

#

But just personal preference and depends if you wanna try both out to see which you truly prefer, but dunno how deep into it you wanna go

lethal ingot
#

And you can generally just get used to it after a bit right

tropic urchin
#

You can yeah. What I did was buy the 50g option and had a pack of 42.5g geon pingless springs and swapped a few to try

#

Wooting springs should be compatible as well, so you could pick up different spring weights if you want to try

lethal ingot
#

Alright, sounds good! So in theory, I could just buy the OWL 40g switches and switch the springs out with 52.5g ones from GEON or vise versa?

tropic urchin
#

Assuming you get the HE pingless

#

Wootings should also work too since they’re the same size

little glen
#

I am big fan of 60+g springs

lethal ingot
#

Alright, sounds good

little glen
#

More comfortable for typing imo and it lets the features of wooting shine more since it‘s not as easy to just always bottom out etc

lethal ingot
#

Ah alright

paper bloom
#

Its nice

#

40g works nice too

#

Wont fatigue as much

low coral
#

I prefer 40g because I type a lot and quite fast, it’s less tiring. 60g is too tiring, 50g is ok but idk, 40g is just too comfortable

little glen
#

I‘m sorry but if you tire out from using 60g springs you need to drink a protein shake or something

low coral
#

Same if you play stuff like ARPG that spam a lot of keys

little glen
#

I have 4000 hours in poe

cyan lark
low coral
#

And?

little glen
#

I know what spamming keys over and over for 8+ hours at a time feels like

#

With 60+g springs

low coral
#

Yeah, and 40g will be less tiring any day since you use less force. It doesn’t matter if you can do it or not

cyan lark
#

Easy, easy, you're both wrong, 50g is the correct best weight.

little glen
#

Less than 0 is still 0

cyan lark
#

But less than 3 is ❀

😭

#

What about keycaps then

#

I have the stock 80HE right now and I’m planning on modding it

It just went out of existence

trail bane

I mean

#

Better than me who bought keycaps from wooting and never switched the stock ones out

#

The keycaps I bought are just sitting in the corner of my room

#

I might just rip the keycaps off of one of my old keyboards at this point

trail bane
lethal ingot
#

Honestly what’s stopping me from making my own case

little glen
#

Cost

lethal ingot
#

I have a local company that can manufacture it for me probably

little glen
#

Making a one off is super expensive, you will also need to design it yourself or pay somebody to design it for you, that‘s more cost again

lethal ingot
#

I can design it myself fairly easily honestly

#

I do a lot of cading

uneven cradle
#

Even so a one off case would still be significantly more expensive, but if you have the money go for it SwitchyCool

lethal ingot
#

:D

#

I don’t got funds so probably won’t

Might as well make a model for fun though

Is the Lekker V2 L45 Linear better then the magnetic jade linear

I think the geon switches were recommended over both of those
and owlab Ti's over geon

tropic urchin

The TL;DR is get owlabs for nice price to performance

get jade pros.

they wobbly dawg

owlabs blow their backs out respectively

@tulip rapids these switches are great :D

tropic urchin
#

Tikkens release later this year, but currently the TI HE are pretty much dirt cheap and blow the lekkers/gateron lineup out the water

reef oar
#

don't believe this propaganda

tropic urchin
#

the real propaganda is thinking gateron has good switches instead of recolor central

#

I thought aligner was trolling for his gateron takes, but I've come around. Gateron is elo throwing with their switches

reef oar
#

do not ask me what they are doing with that

i do not have your answers

Hey guys, I’m still learning about switches and I’m not sure if certain lubes work better for specific ones. What’s the best lube to use on the Gateron Jade Gaming?

sacred elm
#

You need to use 205g0

#

gpl105 for springs

balmy yew
#

Ok, thank you

kindred notch
#

sooooooo my jade maxes arrived...

#

i thought i got scammed since it has been like 3 months since i ordered them

#

usually doesn't take more than 2

#

they feel pretty good

#

it's the first switch i've ever tried on the wooting tho so i don't really have anything to compare it to

#

but so far it's been a pretty smooth experience

#

what were the common issues with these?

#

sticking at the bottom?

sacred elm
#

Everywhere

#

PC on PC contact causes friction

kindred notch
#

yeah i remember reading about that

#

since they're new probably won't have any issues like that for a while

#

my other switches arrive late august/early september

#

i hope i don't have any issues until then

solar tundra

bro said look at the wagon😭

winged whale
#

so
 trying to make my 80HE w/ zinc case a bit nicer to use with minimal investment.

thinking about getting those Owl Ti switches and do some modding. is using kilmat a thing with this board? what about tape mod and force break? are the stock stabs worth a tune or just better to get a diff set?

glacial wind
#

i'd start with just the switches and better lubed stabs and see how you feel after that

little glen
#

Poly fill

#

Another cheap mod you can try

glacial wind
#

spacebar foam is another simple one for a few dollars if you want to experiment with whether you like the foam in spacebar or not

winged whale
#

got it, i may swap out the keycaps at some point as well since that influences the sound too

#

poly fill seems super jank
 i have a ton of kilmat dampening material laying around, so thought I could use that instead

#

another route I’m considering is if you can’t make it sound good, then just remove the sound ¯_(ツ)_/

so might use the Haimu Dove HE silent switches instead of the owls, or even the Gateron Genty for that middle of the road silence.

magic hearth
#

Hi has anyone tried the gt 60? and how does it feel and sound ?

glacial wind
#

for the haimu dove he, you can check out Mathew silent as well which look to be just the same switch potentially but cheaper

winged whale
#

huh, we’ll see. already placed an order for the three options and i’ll return the ones that don’t work out.

i’ve been buying my switches from milktooth.com i like their videos and switch descriptions.

The genty is a semi-silent and looking at the typing demo video https://youtu.be/BludazZ0xpQ (2:50 timestamp) it looks like a good middle ground to me

looks like they don’t carry the mathew, so gonna stick with the haimu
