PP and POM still have some harshness with flux, but PP is flexier and has more pop

#

But they’re kind of similar

steady halo
#

very cheap

#

0.36

#

iirc

tropic urchin
#

DMed it to you joshiba 🫡

cinder plaza
#

will tikkens be the best switches under $50?

steady halo
#

i'm planning to buy the 7u 60he with those switches

glacial wind
#

there's no 'best', just different preferences

sacred elm
cinder plaza
#

geons are good enough right?

glacial wind
#

i think they'll be highly competitive but everyones best is different based on what you like

steady halo
cinder plaza
#

its not like im a pro player

ruby hill
steady halo
#

like owlab ti is the new gen on raws

cinder plaza
#

what current switches can i get that are good for $50

glacial wind
# cinder plaza geons are good enough right?

to explain why folks here are telling you to buy tikkens, it's like buying a 2010 honda civic in 2025. It works fine and are good still, but there's a lot of more popular options these days with more updated internals

#

raw he that is

#

that's why folks are suggesting you buy the stock and grab other switches or wait

cinder plaza
#

is there any switches i can buy right now for the same price as tikkens that are equally as good or better

glacial wind
#

well tikkens aren't out so no

ruby hill
#

Ow Ti HE

glacial wind
#

there are plenty of good switches though

cinder plaza
#

i mean as in

glacial wind
#

buy owlab ti he, ur ice ultra, duhuk herz, raptor v2 potentially

#

lots of good switches

cinder plaza
#

if theres equally as good or better switches than tikkens rn ill buy them but if tikkens are the best for that price tag and they actually are a good price tag ill just wait for those

glacial wind
#

that's why they can't answer you

cinder plaza
#

what have the employees said

glacial wind
#

you're basically asking people if the 2030 honda civic will be good

sacred elm
#

It will be good trust

cinder plaza
#

i thought maybe they said anything about it

#

the employees

tropic urchin
#

Probably on par with owlab ti he but just longer spring and full travel + more poppy sound profile

glacial wind
ruby hill
#

When will Tikken start selling?

tropic urchin
#

Owlab ti he UR ice version ☝️🤓

sacred elm
tropic urchin
ruby hill
#

Oct?

tropic urchin
#

Maybe

#

Could be November

#

Or December

#

Anyday in Q4

#

No further news other than that

steady halo
#

most likely november

#

tikken could be faster(?)

#

idk

glacial wind
# ruby hill Oct?

we don't know yet. All we've said publicly is we'd like to start selling them once we have enough switches produced for the 60he v2

#

just depends how timelines work out

tropic urchin
sacred elm
#

They are not waiting for 60HE v2, Tikkens can be available before that

steady halo
#

i might skip the 60he v2, since most of the new updates i can achieve in v1 (only no 8k)

cinder plaza
#

lets say i wanna buy switches right now that arent more than 50$ and arent loud what should i get

ruby hill
glacial wind
#

owlab ti, ur ice ultra, duhuk herz are the current popular picks

ruby hill
#

Flux!

sacred elm
glacial wind
#

he said $50, not $250 mr KK

tidal frigate
#

Flux switches are scam

stoic ocean
#

I buy the titan miami nobody make a sound test of them

sacred elm
#

You buy what

stoic ocean
#

Titan Miami

cinder plaza
#

in terms of mouses deathadder v3 is pretty good right?

ruby hill
#

They’re coming out with a beta version that reduce the GSPepeBusiness

glacial wind
#

at this stage flux missed the boat because split stem came out and stole it's biggest marketing move

#

Even if they fixed them now I’m not sure it can be salvaged after gateron took the stability buyers with the spark

tropic urchin
#

I love my Gateron Phoenix eagles

ruby hill
tropic urchin
#

Orchids realerest

glacial wind
#

that's one of the funny things is the sparks are crazy expensive, but still somehow cheaper than flux

tropic urchin
#

It’s not hard to beat $2 per switch prices even for Gateron with the $1 markups before

cinder plaza
#

if u guys had $50 to spend on switches and the tikkens come out in a few months what would u guys do

steady halo
#

and wait until tikken release

#

then switch them

#

u save up $25 now, and u can save up more until the tikkens release

steady halo

@kind helm The springs of Astrolinks have a dia of 5.7-5.8mm, compared to Gateron/Hejin’s 6.1mm. Though a 6.1mm dia spring in the Astrolinks still seems to work fine but if you have some TTC springs laying around you should use those instead as they have the same dia.

cinder plaza
#

if they get put as one of the options

tawdry tree
sacred elm
#

Again, can you wait couple of months?

cinder plaza
#

i think most of the things when buying the 80he are on sale for a little bit of money

tawdry tree
#

It’s like 20% off or something right?

cinder plaza
#

depends how many months

tawdry tree
#

With the bundle deal.

cinder plaza
tawdry tree
cinder plaza
#

yeah it differentiates

#

if thats even a word

ruby hill
#

2-4 month
The range was huge

cinder plaza
#

of when it releases

glacial wind
#

switches might be 50% with module for wooting branded ones right now, 20% for non wooting brand

cinder plaza
#

or is it just a random day and they put them up

glacial wind
tawdry tree
cinder plaza
#

tikkens are wooting brand right

tawdry tree
#

Yep

cinder plaza
#

the l45 and 60 switches are 50% off

#

some other wooting ones are 20% off

#

and the gateron jades arent on sale

#

does wooting do black friday sales?

sacred elm
#

nop

cinder plaza
#

alr

glacial wind
#

the ttc ones are rebranded collabs with ttc, so not really wooting made switches

ruby hill
#

What case do you plan to build with?

cinder plaza
#

if they did i was better off waiting but if they dont then im still not sure

sacred elm
tawdry tree
tulip rapids
#

insert keen post

cinder plaza
#

what makes the tikkens so special though if nobody knows anything about them

tawdry tree
tawdry tree
#

and closed bottom

cinder plaza
#

what does 4mm mean

#

like in length

tawdry tree
#

not really that special but there are very few of those

fluid ravine
# tawdry tree

Has the Tikken Thikken in order for the Titton Thokken

tawdry tree
ruby hill
fluid ravine
#

Is*

cinder plaza
#

are tikkens made by only wooting or a collab

glacial wind
#

they're wooting

fluid ravine
tawdry tree
#

Not a collab

cinder plaza
#

but im guessing they wont be 50% sale with buying the 80he on release

ruby hill
tawdry tree
fluid ravine
glacial wind
#

tikkens will be our new generation of stock level switch that will go in place of lekkers in any new keyboard

cinder plaza
#

will the 60he v2 be better than the 80he

glacial wind
#

so 60he v2, 80he v2 (one day?) etc will be on tikkens instead of lekker as stock

tawdry tree
glacial wind
#

but never 64% he, because we want to torture aligner

tawdry tree
#

Same same

ruby hill
#

68PepeBusiness

cinder plaza
#

i need the f row anyway so i wont get a 60%

tawdry tree
cinder plaza
#

is it true 80% keyboards feel cramped or is that just preference

glacial wind
#

actually you know what would be funniest

#

if we made a 64% but it only came in the split stem format that aligner hates

fluid ravine
ruby hill
tawdry tree
sacred elm
#

Aligner, are you even getting v2

tawdry tree
tawdry tree
glacial wind
#

oh typo, split spacebar

tawdry tree
cinder plaza
#

the thing is i have 3-4 weeks of vacation left until school

glacial wind
#

it will be 2.75, 1.25, 2.25u 64% format only

tawdry tree
cinder plaza
#

so i wont be able to play as much as i would be able to rn

cinder plaza

With Lekker V2s

cinder plaza
#

idk

#

how long does shipping take

glacial wind
#

Maybe it’s time to start an ai company and get bought by big tech for 1 billion dollars. That seems the popular school system right now - then you can buy many tikken switches

cinder plaza
#

if im in the same country as wooting

#

or are they made somewhere else in china or smth

steady halo

Just go through checkout and itll tell you before you pay

cinder plaza

sacred elm
#

No

tawdry tree
cinder plaza
#

only 1-5 days shipping for me

#

a week at most

#

if u get the module what do you need to put the things in

#

switch tool set?

ruby hill
#

You need a case

cinder plaza
#

i know but

#

after u click continue

sacred elm
#

Nothing

cinder plaza
#

it pops up other things like a switch tool set

little glen
#

You need fingers

cinder plaza
#

alr

little glen
#

As long as you have module, case, keycaps and switches

#

You have everything you need

sacred elm
warm forge
#

Wootings are not toe compatible pepesadsit

cinder plaza
#

nevermind then ill just stick to my office keyboard

little glen
#

can confirm that you can use unofficial methods

#

i can type with my nose

cinder plaza
#

wow

#

does anyone clean their keyboard

#

cause the right side of mine i never touched for 5 years is dusty and full of food

#

its disgusting

little glen
#

and then a deep clean maybe twice a year

cinder plaza
#

what do u use to clean

tawdry tree
#

what’s the bad part?

cinder plaza
#

are u trying to get me sick

cyan lark
#

Oh I’m having flashbacks to that person with the chips keyboard

sacred elm
#

Which switch

tawdry tree
cinder plaza
#

ill make a burrito with the food in my keyboard for a wooting 80he for free

ruby hill
cinder plaza
#

the right side that i dont use is horrible

tawdry tree
#

Raesha

ruby hill
little glen
# cinder plaza what do u use to clean

for deep clean, take off keycaps, put those in lukewarm water with some dish soap to clean, take out the module, clean up plate, take off switches, clean up pcb if needed

#

then reassemble

#

a lot of the debris will also fall off during the disassembly

cinder plaza
#

are keys easy to take out

little glen
#

remember to dry everything well before putting it back together

cinder plaza
ruby hill
#

You need keycap puller

cinder plaza
#

where do i get that

little glen
#

wooting ships one with the keyboard

cinder plaza
#

is it just free with the keyboard

cinder plaza
#

if anyone wants it

ruby hill
little glen
#

if that one breaks you can get simple ones for really cheap, otherwise you can get some fancier ones like ws or the tx multitool

cinder plaza
#

do you really need fancy keycap pullers

sacred elm
little glen
cinder plaza
#

so should i buy a seperate one?

little glen
#

you're probably fine with the one that comes with the board

cinder plaza
#

theres a set on wooting for like 15 euros

little glen
#

if that breaks, you can of course go and get a different one

#

dont buy the set

#

the set is ok if you plan to lube it or anything like that

cinder plaza
#

nah

#

i wouldnt know where to start with lube

little glen
cinder plaza
#

yes

#

cynosa chroma

#

from the ice ages

#

it has been in 2 different decades

#

thats why im getting a new keyboard

#

is a branded deskpad/mousepad worth getting or is that just bs

little glen
#

some people swear by artisan mousepads

cinder plaza
#

how much are they

little glen
#

i like a deskpad with a good design

#

just cause it looks good

cinder plaza
#

i need a new deskpad

#

but i dont know where to get one

little glen
#

but i am also not a big competitive gamer

cinder plaza
#

neither am i

#

im not sure if its even smart to get a wooting

#

i dont even play kbm games that much

little glen
cinder plaza
#

theres none near me

#

only one half an hour away that sells brands like razer

ruby hill
cinder plaza
#

is the deathadder v3 a good mouse

tropic urchin
cinder plaza
#

its 100$ more

ruby hill
cinder plaza
#

if im getting a wooting i have to cut costs everywhere else in life

#

im gonna get the v3 i cant spend another 100 ill be broke

tropic urchin
#

They’re generally cheaper and good quality

cinder plaza
#

its not much different from the v3 pro no? and everyone rates that highly

#

apart from it being wireless the v3 wired is $100 cheaper faster and lighter

little glen
#

oh damn manta is up for group buy

#

why is it so expensive

cinder plaza
#

how long would a wooting 80he last me

#

if i clean it every 3 months or so

tropic urchin
#

Probably after you graduate college assuming the PCB is still going, but even if it did stop working you’d just need to swap the PCB

#

And you have 4 year warranty

ruby hill
cyan lark
cinder plaza
little glen
#

yes

#

or get a new unit

cinder plaza
#

if u think about it as an investment its only 60$ a year

tropic urchin
#

Probably not money back, but new unit probably

cyan lark
cinder plaza
#

thats like 5$ a month

little glen
#

cheaper than spotify!!

cinder plaza
#

spotify is free if u think about it

ruby hill
cinder plaza
#

if i have it on and it breaks i can just request a new one no?

cinder plaza
#

if im paying $250 for a keyboard im expecting to use rgb

little glen
ruby hill
cinder plaza
#

with the warranty

tulip rapids

So i been thinking venom 60 he pcb 7u, venom 60 he plate (Either alu or cf plate. Right now I'm use wooting pc plate),venom 60 foam set , frog mini leggera gummy o ring case either grey or cream and keycap set is dual shot 2 or dmg 3. I'm open to suggestions

ruby hill
cyan lark
tropic urchin
cinder plaza
#

better to use rgb until it doesnt work anymore than not to

#

im in the netherlands

#

it says returning shipping fee is free

ruby hill
#

Wow good

cinder plaza
#

everywhere else it isnt im pretty sure

thick mural
#

wooting is pretty good with returns

cinder plaza
#

i still havent decided

thick mural
#

do you have a specific budget

cinder plaza
#

do i buy raws, buy normal switches and tikkens when they release or wait for tikkens

little glen
tawdry tree
stray tiger
#

Going to be an amazing MX board. I'm skipping because it can't be converted to HE but if I was in the market for a MX board it would be an instant buy

cyan lark
thick mural
#

i've tried a ton of HE switches and my personal favourites are the TTC POM KOM (Wooting or TTC) and Geon Lucifers

little glen
cinder plaza
tulip rapids
cinder plaza
#

id lose 20$ if i buy tikkens later but i can maybe just sell linear ones if i get those

cyan lark

#

how much are the raws even?

#

with discount

tawdry tree
thick mural
#

do the raws still have issues with sticking to the top housing?

cyan lark

Or buy module and raws and build it

Honestly that’s the best option imo

raws tikkens or buy linears now and wait for tikkens

tawdry tree

i need some more opinions on this

i noticed it pretty quickly and a few of my friends did too unfortunately

little glen

neo65cu or neo75cu

tawdry tree

#

or qk alice duo for way more money

stray tiger
thick mural
#

lekker v2s are pretty good for what they cost with the discount

tawdry tree
cinder plaza
#

but if i buy it with the 80he can i still return it

stray tiger
#

Also, going neutral makes it so you don't get GMK fomo and try to color match

tawdry tree
#

you can return just the switch or both

cinder plaza
#

like return only those

tawdry tree
#

yep

cinder plaza
#

hm

little glen
cinder plaza
#

everyone is saying different things

thick mural
#

you can return whatever you want if you don't like them or change your mind

cinder plaza
#

first linears were bad and raws were good now its the opposite

tawdry tree
#

both lekker v2s and raws are decent

#

but you don’t like loud

tulip rapids
tawdry tree
#

which raws are

thick mural
#

lekker v2s are a very good starting point

cinder plaza

the l60 or 45

thick mural

try out the lekker v2s and you can go from there

tawdry tree
thick mural
cinder plaza
#

i havent had a mechanical keyboard yet

#

so idk

if you want a lighter switch then l45 is the way to go

finding a good set of iso keycaps is so hard

most gmk sets have ISO

yeah but they're generic iso

#

personally i want UK ISO

little glen

ok so you want

#

language specific

#

that is a whole other thing

thick mural
#

but even then they don't have like any other ISO variants

cinder plaza

i feel like its a waste to get l45 or l60 switches and then upgrade after a bit

thick mural

i think the only good set i've found is pbtfans WoB

bro was sold on geons then stayed in the rabbit hole for a hour

because u guys change my mind too much

tulip rapids

bro should have bought the keyboard and stayed away from the chat

cinder plaza

ive been here for like 2 hours

sacred elm
thick mural

the issue is you have no idea what characteristics you want

cinder plaza

thick mural

you need to know what you want from the keyboard

tulip rapids

puller issue*

harsh dove
#

Idk, I've removed every switch the same way and never had legs break like that

tropic urchin
#

I think it had performance anxiety

sacred elm
#

I pull from south first

harsh dove
#

I'm pretty sure I was using the TX Puller and yeah south side, cause I have them installed south facing like I usually do cause I don't care for RGB

tropic urchin

you dont use RGB

sacred elm
#

Yes

tropic urchin
#

your switches revoluted

"whose this guy pulling me, fuck em" - Free switch pack

technically I was pulling from north side but they were south facing so it'd be the south side if they were north facing

How do I know I’m removing the switches properly

#

I’m scared to break it

#

I’m using the switch puller than came with the 80HE

tropic urchin
#

kinda hard to tell when using the default puller, i almost broke mine white knuckling it trying to get anything out

#

not super user friendly imo

#

id try your best (not a huge deal if you break one since you should have a couple extras as spares) and order a new one (I have the wuque studio titanium puller which is goated)

#

Ive yet to see anyone say they like the plastic puller aside

tropic urchin
#

the plastic puller is doodoo tho

sacred elm
tropic urchin
#

yeah you're gonna wanna do that

#

even then its going to still kinda suck since the puller is cheap, but will be atleast 50% easier

Good thing I have hundreds of screw drivers and no switch puller 💀

sooner you can score a new puller, your life is going to be 100% easier

Sometimes, you may need to fully disassemble your keyboard, whether it's to swap out stabilizers or replace components due to a defect. In this video, we'll guide you through the process.

Might pick up some of their he springs too just to have them on hand for comparisons

TX ain’t cheap

#

even from TB it’s still pretty pricey compared to other stuff

but worth ofc :)

I did laugh at the cute little tx multitool bag they sell for $3

tawdry tree

got that one too

#

couldn’t not get it lmao

There is an eu shop with the v1 for 20€

#

Are there any good stabs to use for the owlab ti switches in an 80he? Not sure how the stock stabs will be with the new switch stare

sacred elm
#

Stock stabs are completely fine. If you don't like the sound of your stabilizers, you can lube and tune them and they will be just as good as other third party stabilizers.

paper bison
sacred elm
#

By not great you mean your stabilizer keycaps wobble or what?

glacial wind
sacred elm
#

If you have keycap wobble with long pole switches, you can get Geon stem spacers and that will fix your issue

Keycap wobble issue is pretty rare, just assemble your keyboard first and test it out

I've never had any issues with long pole switches, even with cheap AliExpress keycaps. You should be fine

what do you think

the easiest choice would have been dragon witch with purple but dragon witch is not available anymore :(

little glen
#

not buying any more gmk for now

#

unless a rlly good purple set comes out

#

or dragon witch pops up on oblo

trail bane

But yeah dragon witch is sick

i have

#

botanical, bingsu, mictlan, beige, cosmos

#

and sloth on the way

#

and a couple of other stuff like dualshot accents

little glen
#

neo65cu

crimson sky
#

when in doubt, beige caps always work

#

I think simons Neo60 Cu was grey gold for reference

#

the teal also looks quite good

#

reminds me of the cycle 7 teal

little glen
#

yeah but i alr have a blue board

#

the colorway i'd be most interested in other than neutral silver/graygold/brown would be purple but i dont have caps for it other than MAYBE mictlan

crimson sky
#

beige

#

or bingsu

#

tho it might be too contrasty for bingsu idl

little glen
#

that gray gold does look good in the video

#

i might just pull the trigger on the gray gold and see what caps fit best when it gets here

crimson sky
#

beige

#

it's always beige

#

you might get lucky and something else fits

#

but usually it's beige

little glen
#

yeah honestly that beige set i picked up might have been one of my best purchases

#

so versatile

crimson sky
#

just buy like 10 sets via taobo

little glen
#

only issue i have now

#

is that i was planning to use the set with my salvation

#

and some dualshot accents i have

do you hear scratch?

I think I hear scratch which worries me

tropic urchin
#

shafie mentioned that on upstroke

#

I do hear something in the background

that being said might be L lube job

possibly

tropic urchin

wouldnt be the first time (looking at you jade pros)

hearing scratch I’m fine with but feeling, not so much

tropic urchin

it almost sounds more chalky than scratchy

chalky, I don’t think milktooth uses that one yet

it was a similar issue i had with RAWs when i first got my build it was just weird sounding and i didnt fw it but i also used deng god bottoms which ended up being an L frankenswitch kek

#

@tawdry tree methinks with lube job and on PP plate orchids might be kinda fun to use

#

they sound already loud af on PC plate

#

now they have to be similar stable or more than fluxies for me to cop a try

#

lubing it wont help long term for thock if thats your goal. I would use foam regularly and maybe try getting another switch

#

maybe UR Ice since those are generally deeper

#

what switches you using currently

#

and plate too

oak jewel
#

Lube stabs + foam + switch selection should do the trick

tropic urchin
#

Id say grab some UR Ices or Phylina Lightning (box stem UR Ices) and see how you like those and keep the space bar foam
