Because if you fight random people you would be deported

@tulip rapids by saying we have everything i meant everything

[tulip rapids]

i know i was just joking

[tidal frigate]

Well just say what you want to see

And i tell u if we have it

[tidal frigate]

@tulip rapids not joking

[tulip rapids]

no idea

i want to travel across Europe

and i heard nice things about poland

[untold wigeon]

what kinda keycaps are the stock wooting 60he+ ones? I wanna know so i can buy blank keycaps

[untold wigeon]

thanks

[untold wigeon]

do you have any blank ones you can recommend

in black preferably

[tropic urchin]

Any good ones I’m not super sure, but I’d start with maybe the grey optimum set/GMK cosmos (this will be pricier)

I would start here: https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

Might take you some time to find your set, but you should have a lot of options to go through

[untold wigeon]

ty again

[uneven cradle]

As long as they have an MX stem they should be compatible

[tropic urchin]

My rec would be to find a high quality ABS/PBT keycaps and roll with em (PBT will sound deeper and ABS brighter), but I would avoid the $20 amazon keycaps as they will be usually lower quality

[stray tiger]

@fluid ravine I might be back on the MX train for a few weeks...

[stray tiger]

I did get some kolks in today too

[cyan lark]

Those are neat looking. Are they glass or some kinda resin?

[sweet oak]

can i eat one

[stray tiger]

They are not tasty

[sweet oak]

no way you taste tested them

[stray tiger]

Maybe just a lick

[cyan lark]

[glossy plover]

Made a holy design for the 2HE. I didn’t do the bottom tho because I figured no one is gonna see it 😅

[tidal frigate]

Are you going to 3d print it?

You know you need place for aluminium piece in case right

[glossy plover]

Yeah I’m ordering a prototype on PCBway probably. An ABS version and if it works out then I might move to aluminum or something of the likes

[tidal frigate]

You know full aluminium it would be expensive as fuck

[glossy plover]

Yeah like 300 bucks

[tidal frigate]

More

[glossy plover]

Super

[tidal frigate]

U know U neee two parts right?

[glossy plover]

Put me on

[tidal frigate]

Because top works as plate

[glossy plover]

Yeah I’m keeping the og top plate for now

[tidal frigate]

Unless u want do top mount

[glossy plover]

I’m only replacing the bottom case. Nothing else

[tidal frigate]

So yeah aluminium block size of twohe would be expensive u know

[glossy plover]

Yeah i figured that’s why it’s not made now

[tidal frigate]

Propably 1.5k

[glossy plover]

For CNC or 3D

[tidal frigate]

Unless u have cnc machine

Cnc because you have to cut out metal somehow

[glossy plover]

I think my university has one so I’ll probably do it there for cheap

“Cheap”

[tidal frigate]

Well then you will have to check how much block of aluminium of size twohe costs

[glossy plover]

Yeah for sure. Would ABS still be good tho?

Are there any other alternatives?

[tidal frigate]

I never used 3d printer

[glossy plover]

So you CNC everything ?

[tidal frigate]

I never used cnc either

[glossy plover]

😂😂😂

[tidal frigate]

I just know cnc case 1 of 1 is expensive as fuck

[glossy plover]

Bro idek, I think CNC is the move tho. Better tolerances and more precise

[tidal frigate]

Well first try 3d printer

[glossy plover]

The difference is 10 bucks on PCBway 😭

[tidal frigate]

Otherwise u will loose money

Cnced plastic?

[glossy plover]

Oh nah maybe you right

Yeah ima 3D print the prototype no doubt

See what happens. What was the aluminum piece you were talking about

Is that the top piece the one I’m keeping from the original ?

[tidal frigate]

Talking about your cad file cnced

Because you need quite big piece of aluminium

Also u need to anodize it

[glossy plover]

Yeah I’m not doing that for a prototype

You right 100%

[tidal frigate]

Yeah just saying it could be like 1.5k if you do it out of aluminium

You can always try making it out of wood

[glossy plover]

Idk how to wood work but maybe I can find a local guy

[tidal frigate]

Well wooden case is only good if u like wood

[glossy plover]

That’s actually exactly what I wanted originally

Only issue with wood is it warps depending on conditions so I’d have to do it locally probably

Or use resin

[tidal frigate]

Gotta go

[glossy plover]

?

Ok

[sacred elm]

There is a 10% discount on Fluxes (Nobodys buying it)

[chilly mural]

'good' deal

[sacred elm]

I thought it was 50% discount at first and then I saw 5pcs😭

[tawdry tree]

People in general seem to be pretty forgiving as long as it isn’t a massive hinderance (the few cases that are on the far ends of the spectrum), especially for a set and forget type of thing like this. The designs flaws Owlabs let slide are unacceptable though. I can understand needing more time for newly discovered issues but letting them slide, not so much. Of course, it’s not an issue that drastic to reflect poorly on Owlabs yet I think, so the demand remains. :)

[chilly mural]

80he price ahh switches

[tawdry tree]

It just looks sick as well.

[chilly mural]

imagine buying this for mad60

[tawdry tree]

u have discord nitro sir, can upload 8k sir, go rec.

[tawdry tree]

this is a literal fake discount lmfao

[sacred elm]

Don't forget "grad10" for 10% discount

[tawdry tree]

[tropic urchin]

W gateron sample edition

[glacial wind]

Lmao

I saw the price at first too and thought they finally slashed the absurd pricing

Then I also saw the 5 pieces

[sacred elm]

Same

[chilly mural]

too much inventory I supposed

[sacred elm]

Yes, because nobody is buying it

[chilly mural]

yesh, just buy Ti He/Phylina/TTC KOM

[glacial wind]

Stopped by swagkey popup today. They actually sell their own black on black Korean keycaps for $25 which I never knew they did

[sacred elm]

Owlab case😳

[chilly mural]

keyboard heaven

[young current]

does owlab have their own shop in aliexpress? I'm trying to buy owlab ti he (im from jp)

[glacial wind]

There are Japanese vendors for owlab ti arent there

I recall https://rabbit0-shop.com sells owlab switches

[fluid ravine]

we back at it today boissssss

hekkk yeeeee

i havent had any HE updates to my board at all lately, same thing for mx, well really the only thing i've done to my mx board is switching out the spacebar for a holy panda that i found at my friend's house

This one is using HMX yogurt which i usually used

But yeah just been swapping back and forth with mx and he depending on what im doing, setup wise i've just been focusing on audio shit, like iems (recently picked up a pair as you know) and i just ordered a new audio interface, the weak shielding of my audient evo 4 is starting to show and become more annoying, so it's time to sell and switch

[glacial wind]

Who led this poor fellow into buying Wuque flux https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/s/Y6HcEHKm3G

I hope he only bought a few to test so he didn’t spend $200 on a full set of switches he doesn’t like

[sacred elm]

[chilly mural]

RIP

[glacial wind]

Hrm these lelelabs Hokkaido keycaps are kind of cool

It’s uv printed so no idea on durability but they sure look cool

White on white

[chilly mural]

nice nice, inverted cosmos

[sacred elm]

Time to grab them for your white 60HE v2

[calm pulsar]

I have the BoB version of these

nice way of making the legends stand out more than on cosmos

[glacial wind]

yeah the uv coating method really stands out a bit better in light. I wonder about durability of it but they look really good for as long as they last at least lol

[glacial wind]

I might do bright silver and the updated famicon keycaps from tutkeys actually

even comes with a blank 1.25u in the split spacebar extras

[sacred elm]

These might look nice on Optimum case

[sacred elm]

😳 Will look great on silver case. i still need more pics of silver to decide

[glacial wind]

the bright silver looks very cool in the photos i've seen of it

[crimson sky]

The random accents look very chinese

Same with the 2x2 u and 3x2u

2 BAEs tho

[glacial wind]

actually the keycaps that make me curious are the new cerakey matte versions, but not curious enough that I'm willing to play qc lottery

[chilly mural]

This makes me really wanna see 3x3 dpad caps for the numpad

also surprised there's no alt normal A key despite B having one.

[calm pulsar]

they still probably have these rounded edges and uneven surfaces which is the biggest thing that puts me off

[tidal frigate]

No video for u

[tidal frigate]

@trail bane if you want pizza ingridients i can give u them

[trail bane]

Hehe, ty

[tulip rapids]

you got a link for those bad boys

[glacial wind]

only the korean shop one. I'm sure they're sold elsewhere though. It's tutkeys game1989, they made 2 variations. This purple version is the newer one

[fallen pecan]

same design language as their 80

[chilly mural]

and 60/63

[tidal frigate]

U mean ugly design?

[chilly mural]

about a tad higher than ez60 price. which is just about the same as 60he.

Still can't get over the fact that ez80 is $270

[fallen pecan]

the iqunix boards test really poorly either way

no point getting them unless you really dig the design

[stray tiger]

Just for a few days during this keeb meetup weekend

[little glen]

That is very pretty

Love the look of that set tbh

[calm pulsar]

this has a soviet/retro futurism vibe to it

[stray tiger]

People usually put GMK Black and Gold or GMK Pharoah on that particular Keycult 1/65 but I had neither so finally tried this set of EXPO on some and it turned out pretty good

[chilly mural]

Noise pollution goes Brrrr. At least you don't need to own a car

[calm pulsar]

it's all right, just use poms with a dense plate to get used to loud noises

[peak breach]

Any news on the raptor v2’s

[sweet oak]

They are the next big cheater switch

[untold wigeon]

most likely a recolor of akko astro

[indigo river]

Is it worth getting the Polar Pro+ or is the normal one good enough?

I guess it is just the diffuser that is difference so no way I am paying extra for that

[tawdry tree]

How much extra?

[indigo river]

Hello my dude

[tawdry tree]

The only difference between the Pro and Pro+ is the diffuser/condenser, so no real need to have that.

Hello my man

[indigo river]

Uuu let me check

I think it was quite much tbh

[tawdry tree]

If it’s more than $0.01, just go with the regular Pros

😂

[indigo river]

Almost 15-20 usd difference lol

[tawdry tree]

wtf

ye just go with the Pros

do you care a lot about RGB?

[indigo river]

There is also an EARLY BIRD deal for Tecsee Gel Pads but I think it is too risky

[indigo river]

I mean my keycaps are not shinethrough so not like I notice it

[tawdry tree]

Only if you’re feeling lucky 😂

[indigo river]

I used HMX switches before that on my mechanical keyboard and I didn’t really think so much about it

[tawdry tree]

The top housing is translucent either way, I don’t think there’s that much of a difference.

[indigo river]

Why does the Pro+ exist lol

[tawdry tree]

There are some that do not compromise on RGB.

RGB must never be weakened.

[chilly mural]

light bar is all I need

[calm pulsar]

all my homies hate diffusers

[glacial wind]

the non pro is basically no diffuser at all, it's a big old hole

or rather a small old hole

[indigo river]

I do like the big holes

8000 yen for 90 switches

[glacial wind]

the top case is not very translucent btw

[indigo river]

Do you like the switches?

[glacial wind]

so rgb will probably be pretty tampered with the non +, but if you don't care about rgb it doesn't matter

i like them, but I use them for my gaming build where i don't care about sound. I think they sound awful

they feel great and have amazing bottom stability feel

[indigo river]

Hmm

[glacial wind]

the internal split stem just makes a very lekker v1 type muted chatter sound that is awful if you care about sound

[indigo river]

Hmmmm

The Phylina White/Pink is also an alternative, it is just RGB extra ++ right

I was thinking the lubing might be better on those, the normal Phylina is like me after a rough day at soapland

[glacial wind]

yeah phylina is more a traditional standard good box stem style switch

[indigo river]

(Very slippery)

[glacial wind]

i'd only get polar pro if you really don't care about sound

or you like lekker v1 muted sound

[indigo river]

Sound is important so maybe no then

[tawdry tree]

Could always get Gateron’s Sparks

[indigo river]

What is the banger these days anyway, I do like the Phylina, just the factory lube that is awful

[glacial wind]

it hasn't changed for awhile, it's still been the same options

[tawdry tree]

Oh wtf, is the factory lube bad?

[indigo river]

Yeah it’s like all over the place on some of them

[tawdry tree]

Kinda classic Hejin lol

[glacial wind]

that's how it is for a lot of factory lube switches. i always hand lube if i'm using switches long term

[indigo river]

I can’t be bothered with that, I value my mental wellbeing too much lol

[glacial wind]

well then definitely don't buy polar pro then

[indigo river]

Lubing stabilizers are more than enough

[glacial wind]

they require lubing to get anywhere near decent sound and take 2-3x the time to lube

[indigo river]

Ty 4 input!

When HMX magnetic switch

[glacial wind]

they have one

it's not particularly great though

[indigo river]

Dang it

[tawdry tree]

Raptor V2s will save us

(they won’t)

[indigo river]

I loved their Hyacinths

What are these fucking names, ”Kailh Glutinous Rice”

[glacial wind]

yeah you're not getting anything near those in HE right now

totally different sound profile

[indigo river]

Yeah true

[peak breach]

Yeah but they look better

[indigo river]

Almost considering these Glutinous Rice for the memes

Why are all switches 35g tho

[tawdry tree]

Stolen name too

[glacial wind]

35g start is fairly common for 50g bottom out

and 50g bottom out is super common right now

[tawdry tree]

There are literally 4 Sticky/glutinous rice switches rn

[indigo river]

Lol

[tidal frigate]

Sno have you tried rice with apples?

[indigo river]

When were the Wooting Tikka Masala switches coming out

[glacial wind]

i don't believe so no

[tawdry tree]

Titon realest

soonTM

whenever they have enough for the v2s and a bit extra, they’ll be for sale iirc

so could be a bit earlier than the v2s

[indigo river]

Noice

[tawdry tree]

Oh no

Recolor time?

[tawdry tree]

They already started 😭

[trail bane]

Jade ahh route🥀

[indigo river]

Who buys these?

Why is it necessary lol

[chilly mural]

Asthetic

[fringe quarry]

thats a frog mini leggera or

[tawdry tree]

Can you imagine the unimaginable pain of switches that don’t match the color of your overall build?

That’s why it’s necessary!

[indigo river]

I love when the color matches underneath my keycaps…

Wait a second

I condemn it

[calm pulsar]

if leggera has red could be

don't recall og having a red

[ionic breach]

it does iirc

red and green are the coloured options

wheres that from?

[rotund nacelle]

does anyone know where i can find those types of keycaps in french iso layout ?

[kind helm]

a question, do i still get taxed if someone in china sends me a keybort?

someone commented on my bilibili vid and said that he wants to send me a keybort

i feel proud yet scared lol

[polar girder]

Yeah I think so

[tropic urchin]

probably

ive seen posts of ppl that send in their watches/IEMs in for service/repairs or replacement and they manage to get dinged for it

above 0% chance

[kind helm]

how you mean dinged?

[tropic urchin]

dinged as in charged for it

[chilly mural]

yay

[tropic urchin]

a guy needed a replacement for their xenns top pros from linsoul and they got charged shipping + tariff on their replacement which looked nasty and a guy tried to get his grand seiko serviced and got a wild charge on the return

[kind helm]

oof

[tropic urchin]

not saying you will 100% joshiba, but theres a possibility you end up getting bent over the barrel depending on how much the keyboard costs

[kind helm]

alright~ thank you so much brotha

i just gonna wait this thing out

in my mind, i am still like "ain no way this shit gonna last"

LOL

[tropic urchin]

good news is that it changes biweekly

[kind helm]

https://tenor.com/view/perfectly-cooked-impressed-amazed-delicious-you-cooked-it-perfectly-gif-17443260

[tropic urchin]

will it be gone in 2 weeks? stay tuned for the next episode of DBZ

[chilly mural]

Hopefully the orange man can make an exception for christmas

[tropic urchin]

would've been cool if they just kept it for industry materials/raw materials and left smaller ticket items alone

$90 added charge for fucking plastic keycaps is a lil much

[kind helm]

idk too scared to talk about it~

[tropic urchin]

Yeah you def getting charged 🤓

I’m lucky that linsoul is sending products to US so now I don’t have to order off linsoul and get fucked with a $400 increase

Just takes longer but big W 🌹

W Amazon too

[tropic urchin]

They also got my benom for like $40 shipping and $95 after the fact so it costed same amount as 80HE

Doesn’t compare to thockfather but still hurts

[kind helm]

thockfather bought another benom?

[tropic urchin]

No he just got charged a lot on tariffs/custom charges

[kind helm]

yeee me dodged the bullet lol. bought everything like 1 month before the s44t went down

[chilly mural]

sad

[tropic urchin]

True

I basically have to rely on milktooth for switches

[tulip rapids]

will all these tariffs im never gonna have a benom 🥀

[tropic urchin]

Gotta have to pay Wooting prices for it

[tulip rapids]

oh naurrr !!!

not again

Nice. Have fun!

[thorn zealot]

Second hand

[stray tiger]

I'll post pic throughout the day

[tropic urchin]

blue Derivitive looks fire

@stray tiger after using benom, using POM plate kinda feels close to Oring with Fluxies. Might be a soft plate convert after all

[paper bloom]

Thats fire af

[mellow beacon]

Have any of the HE switches become better sound wise than the gateron jades? I havent checked ever since

[sacred elm]

Owlab Ti

UR Ice Ultra

Duhuk Herz

Phylina Thunderflash Pro (Great stability + good sound)

[mellow beacon]

thank u my goat

[kindred lagoon]

mmm after a bit of tweaking, seems that the Raeds HE switches don't work with an FR4 plate

perhaps it's just the thickness of the plate but the switches themselves pop right off

[tall hollow]

What makes thunderflash special?

[sacred elm]

It has very good stem wobble and sound

They are very tight, might be tighter than TTC POM

[tall hollow]

Any idea of sound profile?

[sacred elm]

Deep clack, it is basically UR Ice Ultra but with a box stem

[tall hollow]

Factory lubing is good or needs some work?

[sacred elm]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/984799440072220692/1378018925467668541/Phylina_Lightning_Sound_Test.mov?ex=687cfea2&is=687bad22&hm=f824748748273d84af28cb0f2b69da8f571cd35aa7eb413ff394fbb1e130a2f5&

Factory lube is good, but hand lube is always better

[tall hollow]

Hmm, 55 bucks for 90 switches off Ali isn't bad

[sacred elm]

Yeah, they are cheap. If you create new Ali account, there's very good welcome deal iirc

[sacred elm]

Make sure it's Thunderflash Pro, it's a newer version with a long spring.

[tawdry tree]

$55 is insane

They’re like $25/90 for me

[tawdry tree]

buying the regular ones and high quality TX springs is around the same price sir

not worth ☹️

[sacred elm]

Surely they want to waste time swapping springs

[tawdry tree]

If they cba to swap springs, they wouldn’t notice the difference between 15mm and 22mm springs

[sacred elm]

[tall hollow]

where!?

[tawdry tree]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExkDdVy

regular ones.

$30*/90

there’s summer sale rn so you can get $3 off

😃👍

[tall hollow]

ohhh I would need to make a new account to get that price LMAO

[tawdry tree]

tf, how much is it for you?

$55?

[sacred elm]

Imagine abusing welcome deal (I have 13 Ali accounts)

[tall hollow]

Yeah.....

[tawdry tree]

bro

do you reside on the moon by any chance?

why is it so expensive

[sacred elm]

I think because he is from US

[tawdry tree]

just move continents atp

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

@tawdry tree you know what would be tuff is a flood of flux recolors so then Wuque can’t sit on their heels

[tall hollow]

I live in the states

and uhh, tariffs lol.

[little glen]

thats a nice looking alice board

[stray tiger]

The 80HE with the Tecsee tactile HE's on it was a big hit. Felt really good TBH

[tidal frigate]

Tactile hall effect?

[stray tiger]

Yes tactile HE domes

[calm pulsar]

raeds better

[stray tiger]

I way prefer the Tecsee over the raeds

[calm pulsar]

rubber domes on top

[stray tiger]

Well they are the same/similar I guess but the red raeds vs the blues, I prefer the blues

[tropic urchin]

jade genty erasure ☝️ 🤓

[tidal frigate]

Do they have more tactility?

[calm pulsar]

the name jade genty should be forgotten🙏 😭

[tropic urchin]

if you cant handle me at my jenty, you dont deserve me at my genty

[stray tiger]

They do have a pretty solid tactile feel to them. Really impressed with how close they feel to EC

[tidal frigate]

Are you getting them?

[stray tiger]

Maybe. I already have a few like 4-5 but I might pick up enough to do a single board

[tidal frigate]

Imagine someone stealing it

[stray tiger]

Stealing what?

[tidal frigate]

All keyboards

[stray tiger]

Guess it could happen but would be hard to pull off.

[tidal frigate]

Imagine loses

Atleast 50k

[stray tiger]

Way higher than that. There are some boards here worth $5k each alone

[tidal frigate]

Then 100k

[tropic urchin]

we got some high rollers dayum

[tropic urchin]

thought my 80HE was pretty high up there

[tidal frigate]

You have 80he with those heavy raeds?

[tawdry tree]

there’s a recolor out already, but it’s the exact same price

[tawdry tree]

what a chad

[calm pulsar]

[tawdry tree]

someone needs to tell him about split backspace tho 😂

good thing i havent noticed any deficiencies on booting

propaganda. americans cant walk that much to move to EU

L ragebait

[tall hollow]

if only it were that easy LOL

[stray tiger]

Was a her and almost all of her boards were split space lol

The full length spacebar was the best layout lol

wow that's awesome

5 spacebars like this could fit the whole 60%

Oh I can't even begin to make that suggestion. You could love them or hate them. They did feel great and are fairly silent. If that's your jam then go for it!

Don't give @tawdry tree any Ideas.

Well that's great idea

And the OW60 had some admirers like @half grove who is the owner of the 80HE with the Tecsee's that everyone loved.

[tidal frigate]

He looks like guy that would like rubberdome switches

[stray tiger]

He LOVES them.

[winged tusk]

are UR Pink Ice Magnetic Ultra good switches or not

[sacred elm]

They are good

[half grove]

I'll take that as a compliment.

[stray tiger]

You should!

[winged tusk]

better than geon raws ?

[half grove]

Some more cup rubbuh love

I'm very biased toward tactiles though.

[sacred elm]

UR Ice Ultras have less stem wobble, also they don't have that weird sticking at the top.

[winged tusk]

ah ok i will get them then

is their a video about them

bc i didnt find

I just got these yesterday and they sound and feel nice

[winged tusk]

would you guys change anything and the case is tofu60 redux

[sacred elm]

Looks good to me

[winged tusk]

alright appreciate it

[tidal frigate]

It is wooting discord

[winged tusk]

Ok?

[tropic urchin]

venom is a sensitive topic for some around here, I wouldnt worry about it

[thorn zealot]

hes a d1 wooting fanboy ur good

[winged tusk]

Makes sense

[tulip rapids]

one day i'll own a benom

[tropic urchin]

I put mine back in the carrying case hehe

[uneven cradle]

I'll reiterate that this channel is for all keyboard modding not just Wooting

[tidal frigate]

Venom keyboard owners are just jelous

[uneven cradle]

Why not get both

[tidal frigate]

Because they cant afford wooting

[cedar gate]

Can the original plate mount stabs that come with the 60 he be mounted directly on the plate with no Pcb

[thorn zealot]

of what

[tropic urchin]

he called you boor

[thorn zealot]

thats not very nice

[tidal frigate]

You said it

[tropic urchin]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message you're right I said it

I totally said that

[tidal frigate]

Definetly

[cedar gate]

Also this is kinda time sensitive so can sm1 get back to me quick? tysm

[thorn zealot]

yes

[cedar gate]

How

[thorn zealot]

https://youtu.be/a173Blgfmww?si=xEt_GN8bK7fTowr7&t=217

[polar girder]

don't be a dick

venom does things that 60he can't. 60he has things that venom doesnt

[polar girder]

idk about those switches (like I know nothing about them so idk) but yeah looks good

I'm a big fan of venom with alu plate

goated stabs

oh wait is that plate for plate mount stabs?

that's weird being for venom but it'll still work i think

speaking of being poor and wanting a wooting, anyone want to buy one with raw switches for $150 shipped USA?

don't mean to make a sale ad but just wanted to hook up this community before I sell it online for more prob

[stray tiger]

What are you up to

[stray tiger]

Id change to 7u

[tropic urchin]

whenever I look at my space bar now it looks off

[sacred elm]

@calm pulsar https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bFQ9JhwdjWs

[cedar gate]

A keyboard for my niece no pcb but she wanted one like mine 🤣

[cedar gate]

Thanks

[tall hollow]

that sound is super nice

[stray tiger]

Yes and the spring is 20mm so it's going to rebound quicker 😄

[fluid ravine]

and now since im moving and i already move all of my keyboard stuff in my new house. I'm going to be using my HE board for the next few weeks while we're slowly moving

[tall hollow]

oh you have them?

[stray tiger]

Oh I didn't know were moving!

[fluid ravine]

yeah we just began movin our stuff today

it was really unexpecting

[stray tiger]

No I'm laughing at his comment that a 20mm spring rebounds faster. Faster than what? A 16mm spring? That makes no difference lol

[fluid ravine]

the city cut our water to our apartment for a while now cus of our landlord being bankrupt for some reason. So yeah gotta leave this place as soon as possible.

[stray tiger]

Do you get a private area for the PC now?

[tall hollow]

ah lol

[fluid ravine]

yes!!! i get to finally have my own room and am allowed to have my pc setup in it

happy moment for le thockson

really looking forward to leanring how to treat my room for audio purposes

[stray tiger]

Hell yeah that's what's up!

[fluid ravine]

btw is there a reason on why you're going to be on the MX train for a few weeks?

Curious if you getting anything new

[glacial wind]

Thockson about to end up living in a cave made of sound blankets

[fluid ravine]

indeed

[stray tiger]

Just happened to get an unexpected MX build that's feeling really good and going to use it for a few days since I won't be gaming

[fluid ravine]

not going to spoil what board it is?!

[glacial wind]

Don’t forget a completely overkill 90cm softbox light

[fluid ravine]

that third shot is cleaaann

[fluid ravine]

and lord have mercy on that hand writing i can't read, im sorry if i insult anybody but gosh

[stray tiger]

A friend took it at the meetup today. I suck at photos from a phone

[fluid ravine]

whta board is it?

[stray tiger]

Keycult 1/65 in Black & Gold, with GMK Expo and Gat Inks

[fluid ravine]

oo

idk why my brain just turned off after reading gat inks 😭

loving the black and gold aesthetics tho

[fluid ravine]

Font is throwing me off but are they keycaps still cherry profile?

[stray tiger]

The board sounds and feels so good. The keycaps paired unexpectedly well and the artisan was perfect. None of it was planned. I didn't know I was getting the board until Wed and it arrived yesterday

Yeah still Cherry

[fluid ravine]

i see

it looks great though i can't lie, personally me seeing gmk making a set with those legends is rather unexpecting

Oo oo can i get a picture of the backplate or the back of the keyboard? @stray tiger

[fluid ravine]

oh hell yeahhhh

oh feet placements are interesting as well

do i see bumponssss

[stray tiger]

I was buying another board from a guy and he asked if I'd take this board as well at a good discounted combo price and I intended to sell it to a buddy but when I got it I decided to keep it for a bit. Waiting to see if Geons 65HE will work in any of my boards but @glacial wind refuses to buy one for me and ship it to me (they are only available on Korea atm)

[fluid ravine]

haha, does your buddy know about the board?

[stray tiger]

Yes he was at the meet-up lol. He already told me he'd take it if I decide to sell later

[fluid ravine]

ahhh i seee

proceeds to keep it for himself

[glacial wind]

Oh I didn’t realize it wasn’t being sold outside kr yet lol

[stray tiger]

If it wasn't going to be added to global in a few weeks I probably would ask you to grab it lol

[glacial wind]

I heard they had some minor issues with jst cables or something with that first batch too

so probably worked out well that it was only sold in Korea for that batch

[stray tiger]

I also heard that

[uneven cradle]

Yeah that's what I heard as well Korea was beta testing for us

[stray tiger]

Well there was more to it than that. It's less about the cable and more about the JST connector location and type. Currently it says the Keycult 2/65 is compatible but that may change. Hopefully the new version is finalized and released soon. I'm in no rush, I've got plenty of boards and the 60HE V2 will be released before you know it.

[chilly mural]

HMM

60hev2 soon

[wispy vine]

we need 60he7u soon 😉

maybe 65he with a built in knob and 7u

[chilly mural]

nah

[steady halo]

nahh,
most likely split right shift for 7u on HE keebs

[chilly mural]

soon, knob everywhere on keyboard. A single built in knob will cower over the replacable knob.

[steady halo]

small right shift

[wispy vine]

knob the world

[uneven cradle]

Seems like a tricky one trying to support a layout that doesn't have a lot of cross compatibility

F1-65 is tempting

[winged tusk]

WHy is that

[balmy sequoia]

Hi everyone. Just wanted to ask if anyone has tried the gh60 mss studio case for the wooting and if it would fit? The one on the wooting 60he compatibility form seems to be a different type of gh60

[glacial wind]

Generally it should fit but you still need to check the case when you use it to make sure none of the standoffs are misplaced or hitting any key components on the pcb

[zealous holly]

I got a clear one from AliExpress and mine fit my 60he+ just fine 👍🏼

[balmy sequoia]

Do you have a picture? I want to see what it looks like planning to buy it already hehe

[zealous holly]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1395793124084809788

Fully secure and no movement or wobble and screws are high quality, my case was £5 😳

[glacial wind]

I think he was asking if you had one with his particular case

not a different gh60 case

[zealous holly]

Ah sorry I thought you wanted to know if they fit with that screw alignment fine

[glacial wind]

Gh60 is basically just a layout standard for which cases are built, so it’s not certain one case fits just because another fits as sometimes vendors don’t follow the standard as well

Or they put extra standoffs or other issues

[zealous holly]

Ah fair enough, if it helps then the screw placement of your image is the exact same as mine… sorry if that’s no help I’m kind of new to PC gaming and wooting 😂

[glacial wind]

From the looks of the case he posted it probably fits fine as it doesn’t seem to be one of those extreme cases of really misplaced standoffs or extra random screw in points

Just that we can’t say 100% unless someone here has that exact case

[zealous holly]

Yeh true 👍🏼

[balmy sequoia]

No it helped! One of my main worries were the screws, if they would fit😆

[balmy sequoia]

I’ll just shoot for it and see if it fits lol. Thank you!!

[zealous holly]

Gl

[calm pulsar]

sounds bad in a plastic case

[south flicker]

Do you think the holy 60in black would suit this? Or rather the titan 60

[spiral crater]

anything i should know about wooting stabs? i modded my 80he but they sound really chattery still, so can i get any screw in stabs or is there a specific type of stab i need

or are the default wooting stabs good? cuz idk they sound really hollow and off compared to the rest of the board.

[steady halo]

anyone tried this pcb before?

HE with multi layout support

[trail bane]

They good but imho better upgrade to the typeplus x yikb stabs or swagkeys knight v2/v3

[trail bane]

They’re both screw-in

[spiral crater]

could i quickly grab your opinion on the tx ap clip in stabs? i saw this local online store has em on sale, and my switches are the UR ice studio ultras which have 3.5mm travel so i think i would need long poles

[trail bane]

Never used them so I have no clue

[spiral crater]

ahhh ok, and if the switch has 3.5mm travel distance, are long poles required? or could i use normal?

[trail bane]

You can buy geon stem spacers(something like that) and use it with normal stabs

https://geon.works/products/geon-stem-spacer?srsltid=AfmBOorupt7slLCuh1xFi6pRij8-abHbBBqur3OwmmTFVaAIxyPUy5et

[spiral crater]

ahhh gotcha thank youuuu

and if you dont mind, could i ask one last question?, for HE switches, is there a specific way i have to lube em or just lube them whatever

[sacred elm]

Stem spacers aren't necessary

[tall hollow]

you can also 3D print these if you have a 3D printer!

[fallen pecan]

iqunix ev63 tested pretty good

[tall hollow]

ooh! where from?

[tall hollow]

nono, the data from the chart

should have been more specific.

[fallen pecan]

one of the independant testers on bili

[tall hollow]

link?

cauz I wanna watch (and maybe even follow)

[fallen pecan]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1N5ghz6EU5

[tall hollow]

tysm!

BRO AINT NO WAY THEY ARE USING KLIPPER FOR THEIR TESTING RIG

THATS ACTUALLY HILARIOUS

bro literally couldnt be arsed to make simple arduino code and decided to use klipper of all things to power their testing rig.

[steady halo]

ngl i'm kinda interested with this pcb

multi layout before atlas

[tawdry tree]

it’s a pretty old PCB already. it broke all of the rules you should follow when designing a board though, especially a HE PCB.

It achieves multi-layout support through rotating switches

[tall hollow]

ohno, what did bro do.

[steady halo]

https://tenor.com/view/noo-toy-story-buzz-lightyear-gif-14664723

[tawdry tree]

it doesn’t have any multiplexers

it has flex cuts

[tall hollow]

holy inefficient.

wat

[tawdry tree]

like for a HE PCB, it cannot have even decent performance

[steady halo]

what can we expect from $40

[tall hollow]

hol up, do you have a link to any info on this pcb?

[tawdry tree]

This can (and probably will) result in your keycaps’ poles splittinh.

[steady halo]

[tawdry tree]

it’s on tb

[tall hollow]

what's it called?

[steady halo]

at least it supports stepped caps

[steady halo]

f60m

[tawdry tree]

thought I had it saved but I don’t

[tawdry tree]

layout support is pretty easy if you rotate switches

[tall hollow]

oh its also on ali for double the price LMAO

[tawdry tree]

I thought that’s how woot achieved their optional split space (💀)

[tawdry tree]

classic

[steady halo]

wait, isn't the iso woot also rotating the switches?

[tawdry tree]

only for ISO, which needs to be rotated.

you could get that PCB and geon’s stem trimmer

so you can try it out without splitting your keycaps

[tall hollow]

bro this thing cant be real, wtaf is this

I am actually curious what the extra chip is that is next to each HE sensor.

[tawdry tree]

it seems a lot like a mech kb designer said “let’s make a HE board, how hard can it be?”

[chilly mural]

Nice, hopefully ez60 isn't abandoned after this

[tall hollow]

wait a minute, there is no way that this is just a simple transistor that turns on when the HE voltage increases past a certain point right?

there is no way

they cant be that stupid

[steady halo]

they can be

[austere creek]

why cant they be

[barren blade]

Does someone know where to buy nice keycaps Like in purple?

[tall hollow]

because any decent EE with a brain and functioning eyeballs can tell you that its stupid and you can get away with something much more simple (like just using a normal switch)

[tawdry tree]

lol? then what is the point?

[tall hollow]

that's why I am saying there is no way

[tawdry tree]

surelyyyy

[tall hollow]

but the more I look at it the more I think that actually might be the case

[austere creek]

i mean he switches are still far longer lived than mechanical switches

since they dont use contacts

[tawdry tree]

the PCB will fail before any mech or mag switches do

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-12869046600151364058

[austere creek]

eh mech switches have failed on me far before the pcb died

[tall hollow]

True haha

[chilly mural]

Actually, I wonder how they get the latency soo low. Either they upgraded the mcu or the actual manu mamaged to actually make a good firmware. The latter is bad because it means people with ez60 is left out.

[tawdry tree]

at least it’s from the sex market 😃👍

Ah violates the nano-chip 🔥🔥

[tall hollow]

Google Translate my beloved

[tall hollow]

Also I read the asterisk

My suspicion was correct

[tawdry tree]

not even, DeepL is supposed to be the best 😭😭

[tall hollow]

😭

Bro I can't

No wonder it doesn't have multiplexers

It doesn't even need them

[tawdry tree]

so it’s basically a HE PCB without any of the analog features, lovely

[tall hollow]

Yup

And for the price of an HE pcb too

Which makes it even more diabolical

[tawdry tree]

You can get a Sayo for less actually

and it has really good performance lmao

[tall hollow]

Sayo device doesn't count, it only got 3 switches and a knob

[tawdry tree]

Not the fucking Osu pad haha

they have full PCBAs too

60%

[tall hollow]

Oh they made a legit keyboard pcb?

Nice

[tawdry tree]

yeahh

their software is still questionable tho

more so the user friendliness of it

[tall hollow]

Meh, i already have WeChat on my desktops, what's another software from China?

[barren blade]

Does someone know where to buy nice keycaps Like in purple?

[tawdry tree]

web based!!

[tall hollow]

True lol

[ionic breach]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[tropic urchin]

you want a purple like this or do you also want the alphas to be purple as well

[tropic urchin]

https://divinikey.com/collections/blank-keycaps/products/pbtfans-lyla-blank-keycaps I managed to find some you may be interested in

[stray tiger]

A guy in my local keeb group who loves purple won that set in the raffle yesterday.

I didn't win any in the raffle but bought a set of a guy who did win and then traded for another set with someone else

[tropic urchin]

I just found it today and it looks really nice

mention of keycaps got my rabbithole interest piqued

[stray tiger]

Yeah that's Violet on Cream right?

[tropic urchin]

Key Kobo set I believe

[stray tiger]

It was a GMK set originally. Didn't know KKB did it too

I picked up GMK ZX and the only Key Machine set I didn't have which was GMK Rewind

Cost me $60 and about 300 spare switches I had laying around

[tropic urchin]

I also have a hypekeyboard question for you mr thockfather in DMs when you have a chance

[stray tiger]

Answered. You can also go to Tom's discord and ask him there

[tropic urchin]

I'll do that, thank you sir 🫡

[stray tiger]

I do got a new board to show off later today that I'll be having him make a plate for me as well.

[tropic urchin]

I never thought I would try a plate as soft as PP, but after using benom for a while I got really used to the softness of oring and now its natural for me

I blame @calm pulsar

[stray tiger]

The only problem with soft plates is that it makes all of you V's type as B's and then no one takes you seriously anymore 😦

[tropic urchin]

Is the 80HE an F12 or F13 with mode key, that section is tripping me up a bit

[stray tiger]

@sacred elm you prefer the phylinas over the ice ultra?

[chilly mural]

I'd say it's f13. It's just missing one vertical row for the top of the arrow key

[calm pulsar]

hey I'm not the reason you like soft PP

[tropic urchin]

Bros trying to ratio me smh

Boxic benom boi

[calm pulsar]

I tried blue matcha tea today and it was average

I blame @glacial wind

[tropic urchin]

Can’t blame booting employees or tag them like that or they will send the ducks after you

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/cute-duck-looks-down-on-gif-15469523802304446797

[trail bane]

[glacial wind]

sir i'm not sure matcha is normally blue

they may have given you a blue ice cream instead

[calm pulsar]

maybe I got ripped off, but it does say "blue matcha" here

[untold wigeon]

These look pretty good Ill check them out. Thank you

[sacred elm]

I haven't tested them. I think sno has both of them

Not sure

[stray tiger]

@glacial wind it's only 1am I know you're still awake

[calm pulsar]

the crazy working hours at wooting

[glacial wind]

i prefer the phylina but only because the bottom out is tighter when i game with it

[stray tiger]

He doesnt go to bed until 2am. Ive been watching him

12am-3am is peak friend group gamer time

[chilly mural]

12am to 3am is also peak time for writing.

[young lantern]

anybody have lucifer he switches theyre selling? gonna frankenswitch my extra raws

[young lantern]

also just curious if they’re 4.0 like black knights or if they really are 3.7

[tulip rapids]

the what switches?

https://tenor.com/view/meme-black-child-exorcist-savun-gif-2886110114740383915

https://tenor.com/view/the-power-of-christ-compels-gif-13129137

[stray tiger]

@tawdry tree what's the difference between the phylina colors?

They all look like PC top and bottom and 35g

[sacred elm]

Difference is spring length

[candid valley]

@stray tiger are you gonna be at pax ??

[stray tiger]

Pax West? Negative

[stray tiger]

That's it? Damn there is a big price swing between the colors.

$25 for 80 of the Pink ones vs $37 for 70 of the black or white ones

[candid valley]

I wanna see wooting at pax west

[stray tiger]

Send an email to Erik. It's probably too late this year but I could do a booth next year for PAX East or West.

[candid valley]

If yall did a booth sign me up to buy some stuff

Pax is a pc gaming convention so many people will be there surprised yall aren’t doing anything

[stray tiger]

We are all familiar with PAX but I'm the only one in the US with any sort of convention experience and a table and banners might not be enough for PAX. Whether or not Wooting wants to pay for an actual booth experience in the US is up to them. My company actually builds convention booths so I'll ask them.

[candid valley]

You guys are known as the top of the line keyboards for all gamers no glaze but I’ve had a wooting for 2 years and everyone that I know that has one will say the same thing once you get a wooting you can’t go back. And usually at pax where there are die hard gamers and pc enthusiasts that look for the newest and greatest I’m just surprised yall wouldn’t be there

[stray tiger]

Like I said, it's more of a US thing. If there was a PAX Europe I'm sure they would be there. It's a bit more of a challenge for the US.

[candid valley]

I totally get it. Welll if you do go please let me know I’d love to see wooting three

There **

[wispy vine]

Seeing wooting at pax west would be awesome

[prisma stag]

I still think wooting should team up with splitkb and develop a split ergo HE board ❤️

[stray tiger]

According to the polling thats not a big request for the gaming community

[prisma stag]

what polling? they might not know what they are missing 😄

[stray tiger]

If they dont know what they are missing, then why would they want to buy it? 🙂

[prisma stag]

Well, I for one would want to buy that 😄

[young lantern]

@tawdry tree are the geon lucifers full travel like the moyu black knights? trying to create closed bottom monochromes but just curious if its the same travel distance as the open bottom monochromes

[prisma stag]

I mean think that even non-gamers would appreciate smooth linear key switches 🙂 and so far, I find that lubed HE switches are far smoother than anything with a contact leaf 🙂

[uneven cradle]

Lots of MX options for good linear switches, even more so then HE

But the Wooting team does look through #1141096226884956181 if you wanted to make your opinion heard for product ideas

[little glen]

I would legit buy a split wooting board

[stray tiger]

But would you buy it over a 60, 65, 75, tkl, full size etc. Especially as a gamer and your first time buying a wooting

[little glen]

I would buy it over 65 and full size definitely, maybe even over 75 and 60

But thats just cause i am interested in trying a split board

And i do believe that it could have some advantages for gaming specifically that could be explored

But looking at it generally, i dont think the market for that is too big

[peak breach]

No news about the raptor v2?

[stray tiger]

?

[peak breach]

Supposedly we are getting geon raptor he v2 switches

[uneven cradle]

Tis true

https://www.youtube.com/live/p1nzTvxrVm4?si=KRrDuRvfAyaXvk7G

[polar girder]

My first gaming keyboard was a split keyboard

[polar girder]

Whoa nice

[stray tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/x-pum-boom-rest-my-case-gif-12707768704480985758

[stray tiger]

From that video it sounds like the v2 will be a modified version of the akko astrolink and sell for .36 cents US each roughly

[tawdry tree]

They aren’t. Tikkens will be Hejin’s first closed-bottom full-travel switch.

[young lantern]

great to hear, thanks! impossible to source those lucifers right now without importing so black knights will do

[tawdry tree]

Hmm, you know black knights are open-bottom full-travel switches right? (unlike what all their listings state).

[sacred elm]

Or maybe raptor v2

[tawdry tree]

HMX

[fluid ravine]

Cherry

[young lantern]

yup, we actually talked about it awhile ago when they first released haha. cheers for the monochromes

[calm pulsar]

it should be called HHE

[tawdry tree]

I think I remember
If you want closed bottom monochromes, there are other options. The Lucifers are Latenpow Deng God recolors, so you could go with Deng Gods as well.

If you’re not from the US (not feasible to buy off of Ali with trump tax).

[fluid ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/oprah-you-point-you-get-a-car-oprah-winfrey-gif-17510687635800068644

[tawdry tree]

It might just be feasible even with the trump tax, they’re so fucking cheap lmao: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EITtHgi

[calm pulsar]

the god damn switch

[tawdry tree]

(ofc they wouldn’t be quite monochrome 🤣)

[young lantern]

youve always been the goat, will definitely try afterwards

[calm pulsar]

TTC Sacred Heart

never seen these before

[young lantern]

the tariffs have been very annoying when ordering parts honestly, even shipping to canada was expensive

[tawdry tree]

yeah, I’m very happy that I’m not living in the US haha

[young lantern]

the colors are definitely part of the main reason i wanted lucifers, also is nice to be a full geon switch :P

[tawdry tree]

🥲

Does no one in the US stock lucifers atm?

kinda surprising if so

[tawdry tree]

or from US to Canada is also expensive?

[calm pulsar]

so tired of the box stem, waiting for bakka and will probably pair it with jade airs or ice ultras (but I hate that they have diffusers)

[tidal frigate]

Hey aligner

Hows your ow60?

[tawdry tree]

they’re unnecessary too (soon), with how the wobble has improved on regular stem switches.

[tawdry tree]

send vid of yours first

[calm pulsar]

I think they are more ideal for gaming obviously, but I think HE tech is already so good that I'm fine with some sacrifices for a little cleaner sound

[tawdry tree]

ball bearing magnetic switches >>>>>>>

no sacrifices

[young lantern]

divinkey is sold out currently, and i havent seen much other listings and none on amazon/ali from what i could tell

[young lantern]

us to can was expensive, i paid about $100 tax just shipping a board to alexotos

[calm pulsar]

it's cool that lucifers exist, cause I had to buy black jades, raws and black knights to make a black switch with a white stem

[tawdry tree]

Sad.

[tawdry tree]

black maxer, like bigs

[calm pulsar]

my jade knights are to this day installed in my frog mini alu plate for 60he

miss my frog mini

[tidal frigate]

Nope

[polar girder]

Nice

[polar girder]

Why?

[calm pulsar]

it's been in the drawer for a while

[polar girder]

Those new lighting phylina or whatever could be good for a black switch

[polar girder]

Bruh

Why lol

MX bro now?

[calm pulsar]

using my luminkey lx60 currently
I did fit venom into it but it was too scuffed, so I kept the MX pcb for now

[polar girder]

I don’t like the red poking through from TTC POM

[calm pulsar]

waiting for rakka to do a new HE build in the frog

[polar girder]

But I’ve just given up on it lol

[polar girder]

Gotcha. Looks hot

[polar girder]

Ah cool

[calm pulsar]

same but at least red looks darker than lekkers or jades

[polar girder]

Yeah like you can still see it but I don’t hate it

I’m not tripping

Need a 2.5mm travel 25mm 25g spring

[tropic urchin]

seeing red underneath my keycaps was such an L

I used to lol

[tropic urchin]

i bought PP plate

[stray tiger]

Im actually selling both my Frog's. Hoping I dont regret it but Ive just got too many boards and need to sell off a few. Built a new one today (MX until the new plate arrives)

[polar girder]

Damn. Mass frog exodus is crazy

I doubt if I’ll ever buy another 60% case tbh

[stray tiger]

Who else selling OG Frogs?

[calm pulsar]

woah, which ones you're selling and which keeping?

[polar girder]

Arc just doesn’t gaf any more lol

[calm pulsar]

hey Im not selling mine tho

[polar girder]

not selling. Not yet anyway…0

[calm pulsar]

just waiting for new opportunities

[tropic urchin]

yez ze new opportunitiez

[calm pulsar]

frog will be back

[stray tiger]

Sold the purple last week and just listed the green one and silver one

[polar girder]

Damn

How much you get for the purple one?

[calm pulsar]

the silver one too

[stray tiger]

This is what I built today

[stray tiger]

This is why I don't need the silver now lol. Replaced it with this one

[calm pulsar]

nice case, I like the front lip

[stray tiger]

Im selling them just at retail basically but they have lots of extras including the venom plates or Wooting plates etc

[fiery mauve]

pretty awesome man!

[polar girder]

What was retail? Lol

[polar girder]

Always giving back

[stray tiger]

Well it depended on the options you picked lol. How many plates, tadpoles, etc

[polar girder]

Sick build

Bro doing everything but telling me a $$ amount

[tropic urchin]

"Price available upon request"

[polar girder]

Lolol

[stray tiger]

Moh I didn't know you were asking me specifically what I was selling for. MSRP was $280 without any extras

[polar girder]

lol yeah I was curious cuz I haven’t paid attention since I bought mine

Thanks

[calm pulsar]

it's like people who make custom things
e.g. my custom guitar luthier always asks people to sent dms cause people are usually freaking out when seeing the prices in the comments

[polar girder]

That’s pesante tho

[stray tiger]

Wait wrong one. But it's still $280-285

[polar girder]

Right on

Yeah I know nothing about frog mini price except for that I slightly overpaid for mine then never thought about it again lol

[calm pulsar]

I paid around 400 for mine cause it had to travel from Australia to US and from US to Russia😭

[polar girder]

Yeah I paid 300 for mine. Came with case and bumpons

And tadpoles

[fluid ravine]

Froggy Og for the boomers
Leggera Pesante for the zoomers

(Don't attack me )

[polar girder]

I will happily not be a zoomer lol

Respectfully

[tropic urchin]

cuz you an old head

[stray tiger]

I've had 3 Leggera and 3 OG's and they just don't compare. Plus with the new o-ring gaskets that Geon released last week you can now o-ring'ish mount in OG Frogs and don't need custom plates

[calm pulsar]

wait whaaat

new gaskets for og?

[stray tiger]

Yes

[fluid ravine]

The uh keysnap shit

[calm pulsar]

barnacles, I require these items

[fluid ravine]

Wtv it's calles

[polar girder]

Don’t compare how

[fluid ravine]

Geon KeySnap

[polar girder]

You don’t have pesante yet tho right?

Not drop yet USA?

[calm pulsar]

wow I gotta ask my friend who's in Korea to bring me some

[stray tiger]

US drop was a few days ago

[fluid ravine]

Geeemehh

Still haven't sold neo65

[polar girder]

Ah

[fluid ravine]

Nor fix the stripped screw hole kek

Coooked

[stray tiger]

Once people realize the Geon key snaps work on the OG, I expect there will be a demand increase again

[calm pulsar]

where do you have it

[fluid ravine]

It's the screw for the back plate

[calm pulsar]

this is so nice that Geon does these little updates even to discontinued cases

[fluid ravine]

I don't have a picture :(

[calm pulsar]

ah cause I was wondering where you'd have screws on leggera

[fluid ravine]

Top left

[fluid ravine]

Oh nu for neo65

My leggy is fine

[calm pulsar]

ahh mb

[fluid ravine]

She eeping

[stray tiger]

Why did you decide to sell? You just got it

[calm pulsar]

mine is in another case cause the frog case is full of random keyboard shit

[fluid ravine]

My friend was in need or looking for a board and I'm over here trying to get another mx board (neo65 cu but might reconsider to get a different board probably)

[polar girder]

Oh yeah I saw these

Don’t think they could work with frog mini tho

[stray tiger]

It's on the website

[calm pulsar]

they can

[polar girder]

Guess so

Just seemed like a gasket mount alternative when I was looking at it

[calm pulsar]

damn I haven't been excited for keyboard things in a while, finally there's something to look forward to

[fluid ravine]

Any suggestion for mx board
Under or around $200?

[calm pulsar]

i'd say luminkey lx60 but it might be sold out now

[tropic urchin]

woah

pesante looks 👀

[stray tiger]

Lot of choices there

[polar girder]

lol what you excited for?

[calm pulsar]

new mounting for frog

[polar girder]

Ah gotcha. you think it could be better ?

[calm pulsar]

could be a nice option for making it feel closer to an oring board, but for me it's just another reason to take my frog out of the case lol

[fluid ravine]

Only neon is available

Anything from 60-65% I'm happy with

[calm pulsar]

it's kinda meh so yeah

[fluid ravine]

[stray tiger]

Not needing custom plates means you can try any normal HE plates

[calm pulsar]

ohh that too

I guess I need to grab some non-frog-mini plates too then

[polar girder]

Metal plates might sound better.

Might help space bar

[calm pulsar]

I want to try an alu plate with the keysnap thingies now, might be dope

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m intrigued

[calm pulsar]

just got a message from Aero's hacked account, watch out lol

[polar girder]

Ah damn my venom alu plate is for 6.25u lol useless

[calm pulsar]

yeah still need a 7u plate

I hope geon makes a ton of those things cause they are already out of stock

[polar girder]

Yeah I bought it thinking it would work on Wooting by NEH

They had 7u plates in all 4 materials last I checked

Oh the keysnaps

Right lol

[little glen]

i started using my 60% board and now realize how often i need my f row for stuff 😭

but its the most portable layout

[calm pulsar]

I have my frow accesible through tab+number, it's pretty fast for up to f5, but it makes some games that use the tab key annoying

[little glen]

unfortunately, poe uses both tab and numbers and f row
