PP and POM still have some harshness with flux, but PP is flexier and has more pop
But they’re kind of similar
DMed it to you joshiba 🫡
will tikkens be the best switches under $50?
i'm planning to buy the 7u 60he with those switches
there's no 'best', just different preferences
Hard to say now, there are so many good switches under $50
geons are good enough right?
i think they'll be highly competitive but everyones best is different based on what you like
Every switch has their own pros and cons
its not like im a pro player
Too old
like owlab ti is the new gen on raws
what current switches can i get that are good for $50
to explain why folks here are telling you to buy tikkens, it's like buying a 2010 honda civic in 2025. It works fine and are good still, but there's a lot of more popular options these days with more updated internals
raw he that is
that's why folks are suggesting you buy the stock and grab other switches or wait
is there any switches i can buy right now for the same price as tikkens that are equally as good or better
well tikkens aren't out so no
Ow Ti HE
there are plenty of good switches though
i mean as in
buy owlab ti he, ur ice ultra, duhuk herz, raptor v2 potentially
lots of good switches
if theres equally as good or better switches than tikkens rn ill buy them but if tikkens are the best for that price tag and they actually are a good price tag ill just wait for those
no one here except wooting employees has tried tikkens
that's why they can't answer you
what have the employees said
you're basically asking people if the 2030 honda civic will be good
It will be good trust
Probably on par with owlab ti he but just longer spring and full travel + more poppy sound profile
well we've said it's the among the best normal stem switch we've tried, but of course wooting employees will be a bit bias so take it with a grain of salt
When will Tikken start selling?
Owlab ti he UR ice version ☝️🤓
Unknown
Q4
Oct?
Maybe
Could be November
Or December
Anyday in Q4
No further news other than that
we don't know yet. All we've said publicly is we'd like to start selling them once we have enough switches produced for the 60he v2
just depends how timelines work out
Full travel with 55g bottom out spring, that’s December 🤓
They are not waiting for 60HE v2, Tikkens can be available before that
i might skip the 60he v2, since most of the new updates i can achieve in v1 (only no 8k)
lets say i wanna buy switches right now that arent more than 50$ and arent loud what should i get
I just want to use my store credit asap
owlab ti, ur ice ultra, duhuk herz are the current popular picks
Flux!

he said $50, not $250 mr KK
Flux switches are scam
I buy the titan miami nobody make a sound test of them
You buy what
Titan Miami
in terms of mouses deathadder v3 is pretty good right?
They’re coming out with a beta version that reduce the GS
Too late
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
I love my Gateron Phoenix eagles
Sparks price has almost caught up with flux
Orchids realerest
that's one of the funny things is the sparks are crazy expensive, but still somehow cheaper than flux
It’s not hard to beat $2 per switch prices even for Gateron with the $1 markups before
if u guys had $50 to spend on switches and the tikkens come out in a few months what would u guys do
i would purchase the prebuilt ver of 80he
and wait until tikken release
then switch them
u save up $25 now, and u can save up more until the tikkens release
OW Ti HE, without a doubt
@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.
am i not better off waiting for the tikkens to release to get a sale on them when buying them together with the 80he?
if they get put as one of the options
If you can wait, that’d be a better deal probably.
Again, can you wait couple of months?
i think most of the things when buying the 80he are on sale for a little bit of money
It’s like 20% off or something right?
depends how many months
With the bundle deal.
i think its different per item
2, maybe?
2-4 month
The range was huge
do u know if they will put a statement anytime soon
of when it releases
switches might be 50% with module for wooting branded ones right now, 20% for non wooting brand
or is it just a random day and they put them up
we'll let people know, but we don't have that info to release yet
No idea. They said they’d release them once they have enough to cover the 60HE v2s iirc.
tikkens are wooting brand right
Yep
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?
nop
alr
the ttc ones are rebranded collabs with ttc, so not really wooting made switches
What case do you plan to build with?
if they did i was better off waiting but if they dont then im still not sure
I'd order prebuilt and then get Tikkens once they're out
Just buy another 80HE when the Tikkens release 😃👍
insert keen post
what makes the tikkens so special though if nobody knows anything about them
Just that they’re 4mm
and closed bottom
not really that special but there are very few of those
Has the Tikken Thikken in order for the Titton Thokken
yeah, total travel
realest.
4mm travel distance and close bottom was rare in HE switches
Is*
are tikkens made by only wooting or a collab
they're wooting
Made by
They’re manufactured by Hejin but they’re from Woot.
Not a collab
but im guessing they wont be 50% sale with buying the 80he on release
Made by hejin design by wooting I guess
They probably will, maybe, surely?

tikkens will be our new generation of stock level switch that will go in place of lekkers in any new keyboard
will the 60he v2 be better than the 80he
so 60he v2, 80he v2 (one day?) etc will be on tikkens instead of lekker as stock
Not in terms of performance
but never 64% he, because we want to torture aligner
Same same
68
i need the f row anyway so i wont get a 60%
Sucks 2 suck, some other company will do it. 🔥
is it true 80% keyboards feel cramped or is that just preference
actually you know what would be funniest
if we made a 64% but it only came in the split stem format that aligner hates

I got a 64% sayodevice 
If you’re not in a hurry with getting a new board, just wait 👍
Aligner, are you even getting v2
I don’t hate split stem switches man!
No.
oh typo, split spacebar
How do you like it?
i kind of am
the thing is i have 3-4 weeks of vacation left until school
it will be 2.75, 1.25, 2.25u 64% format only
Oh lmao, if they did that it’d prob be my last day here ngl (josh v2)
so i wont be able to play as much as i would be able to rn
I got 2 
i have about 7 total
Then just get it now honestly, the €20 saved aren’t worth it
The prebuilt
kekker titon
With Lekker V2s
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
if im in the same country as wooting
or are they made somewhere else in china or smth
I don’t
Just using it to measure switch stability
yeah, trust me you will not have any free time in college. LEL
im not close to college yet
Oh lmao, kinda how I use the smaller sayo
oh, lowkey.... might have time!
im turning 15 in december
HAHAHHAHAHA
ngl true
u won't have time to play a game for 2-3 hours
Produced in china, shipping from netherlands or the US or hong kong
either u have assignments, or u're outside with ur friends
let alone spend more time building a keyboard and lubing switches
im 14 now so now i still have some time to play
Checkout should tell you how long it is expected to take
do u know an estimate
HAHAHAH
like if its long or short or a week
u can check the estimate on checkout site
to ur address
Just go through checkout and itll tell you before you pay
wait do u need to lube your own switches
No
You can but it’s not necessary for most switches.
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?
You need a case
Nothing
it pops up other things like a switch tool set
You need fingers
alr
Wootings are not toe compatible 
damn
nevermind then ill just stick to my office keyboard
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
i do a little cleaning all the time to keep it in decent shape as long as possible
and then a deep clean maybe twice a year
what do u use to clean
a meal is a meal.
what’s the bad part?
are u trying to get me sick
Oh I’m having flashbacks to that person with the chips keyboard
Which switch
the opposite, a few bacteria are good for your immune system man
ill make a burrito with the food in my keyboard for a wooting 80he for free
The stock switch
the right side that i dont use is horrible
I don’t think so
Even venom sounds better and stable at 0.04 with zero deadzone
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
What if it looks like this
are keys easy to take out
remember to dry everything well before putting it back together
mines worse
You need keycap puller
where do i get that
wooting ships one with the keyboard
The one comes with 80he suxk
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
do you really need fancy keycap pullers
@cyan lark This might be worse than that guy with chips
its good enough for pulling off caps every now and then
so should i buy a seperate one?
not really
you're probably fine with the one that comes with the board
theres a set on wooting for like 15 euros
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
that looks like a razer, am i correct
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
some people swear by artisan mousepads
how much are they
but i am also not a big competitive gamer
neither am i
im not sure if its even smart to get a wooting
i dont even play kbm games that much
many keyboard stores sell them
Mainstream bias
Zowie monitor
Razer mouse
Wooting kb
Artisan mousepad
is the deathadder v3 a good mouse
V4 just released
its 100$ more
Still good enough, but buy v4 instead now
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
Look at Lamzu mice
They’re generally cheaper and good quality
its not much different from the v3 pro no? and everyone rates that highly
apart from it being wireless the v3 wired is $100 cheaper faster and lighter
Probably after you graduate college assuming the PCB is still going, but even if it did stop working you’d just need to swap the PCB
And you have 4 year warranty
If you don’t mind the rgb light, it can last a long time
Thank you for calling me back. This looks like something out of a sci-fi horror movie.
so i can use it for 4 years and get my money back if it breaks in those 4?
if u think about it as an investment its only 60$ a year
Probably not money back, but new unit probably
That’s called amortization!
thats like 5$ a month
cheaper than spotify!!
spotify is free if u think about it
But the shipping fee is expensive
wdym with that though
if i have it on and it breaks i can just request a new one no?
if im paying $250 for a keyboard im expecting to use rgb
let me introduce you to my venom board
The rgb light is usually the first thing to break
so ill just claim a new one
with the warranty
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
Rgb light have a shorter warranty iirc
2yr
Depends where you live ig
better to use rgb until it doesnt work anymore than not to
im in the netherlands
it says returning shipping fee is free
Wow good
everywhere else it isnt im pretty sure
wooting is pretty good with returns
i still havent decided
do you have a specific budget
do i buy raws, buy normal switches and tikkens when they release or wait for tikkens
https://deltakeyco.com/products/pre-order-manta-keyboard-alexotos-x-bowl?variant=51080601502037 who is copping

A crack in the earth opened up a portal to hell 🔥
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
can we ban 65% boards
Or, the food kind of pulses and shudders as it shows signs of life
i've tried a ton of HE switches and my personal favourites are the TTC POM KOM (Wooting or TTC) and Geon Lucifers
me personally, i am skipping cause the version i would want is 600 euro

what do u guys think i still have a month of vacation
father guide me im gonna build a venom in november what theme should i do
id lose 20$ if i buy tikkens later but i can maybe just sell linear ones if i get those
Wait for Tikken

just get the raws and dont worry about it
raws ain’t worth it chief
why sell when u can eat it
then get the tikken if you feel like it and have some spare cash
🥀
i love eating switches
do the raws still have issues with sticking to the top housing?
what layouts DO you like
you know what the problem with raws are?
afaik, yeah but you can fix it by cleaning the lube off the top housing a bit
what is it
60%. I wanna ban 65% boards so we only get 60% cases.
multiple opinions
Impossible!
well you should probably state your budget
you wanna know?
We must form the hive mind
yeah almost everything can be solved with some manual labour but a lot of people cba opening 80+ switches 
raws tikkens or buy linears now and wait for tikkens
hmmm
I honestly doubt many people would notice, it’s very minor but it’s there.
i need some more opinions on this
i noticed it pretty quickly and a few of my friends did too unfortunately
neo65cu or neo75cu
buy linears now and if you don’t like you can always return before 2 weeks 👍
or qk alice duo for way more money
really?
yeah same
TBH I've been leaning towards neutrals lately. I might be selling off anything that isn't black, silver, white, beige or gray (except for red since that's my fav non-neutral).
lekker v2s are pretty good for what they cost with the discount
that’s what I would do.
but if i buy it with the 80he can i still return it
Also, going neutral makes it so you don't get GMK fomo and try to color match
yeah
you can return just the switch or both
like return only those
yep
hm
still mad i didnt get gmk dragon witch
everyone is saying different things
you can return whatever you want if you don't like them or change your mind
first linears were bad and raws were good now its the opposite
i been thinking leggera gummy o ring cream or grey case with dual shot 2 or dmg 3
which raws are
lekker v2s are a very good starting point
the l60 or 45
try out the lekker v2s and you can go from there
preference
do you like lighter switches?
well it's personal preference
if you want a lighter switch then l45 is the way to go
just get sugarplum from cannonkeys, thats what I did
off topic but i wish we had more iso variety
hmm
ISO = Pineapple pizza
its alright
finding a good set of iso keycaps is so hard
most gmk sets have ISO
but even then they don't have like any other ISO variants
i feel like its a waste to get l45 or l60 switches and then upgrade after a bit
i think the only good set i've found is pbtfans WoB
then you have made up your mind
chat how do i get more rizz on my keyboard?
Bakka board
We already told you, now it's your turn to make a decision
bro was sold on geons then stayed in the rabbit hole for a hour
because u guys change my mind too much
bro should have bought the keyboard and stayed away from the chat
ive been here for like 2 hours
Just press the buy button
the issue is you have no idea what characteristics you want
now my mind is already changed and i dont know what switches to get
you need to know what you want from the keyboard
search up sound test videos of the switches that were suggest to you and go from there
Either flip a coin and press buy on whatever you think you want or wait a week bc it doesn’t sound like you’re ready to press the buy button
being to indecisive going to ruin the fun of buying your keyboard
if you don't know what you want then pick something to start with and work your way from there
This is your first HE keyboard, you don't want to spend more than $225. Order prebuilt 80HE and if you don't like anything, swap later. Pretty straight forward to me
alr ill do that
but
“but”
no buts
no buts
😭
no but😭
yes but
someone mute this dude
both are preference man
and let him order the 80he in peace
no
Prebuilt is only L60
theres no peace
guys my whole room is black do i get white 80he
L60 is good
making me rethink my entire life
for most people
ok so l60 and black
do you like black?
maybe ill come back after a couple of months
good with ur setup?
black is more durable iirc
basically everything is black in my setup
@cinder plaza go cheaper
not sure if the fixed white has been released yet
maybe when ive mentally physically and financially recovered from buying this keyboard ill come back
he’d be getting the plastic either way
u can get venom tkl for $80
ah then yeah it doesn't matter
and u will have extra rizz
really
🤝
i just thought i was done
check on kbdfans web
dont get venom tkl the venom is harmful to your skin
dont even get started on another keyboard
tiger lite gaming with venom tkl
im sold now on the 80he
Hahahahahah
how do i fix bad spacebar sound on wooting
80he pcr is like $20
buy another keyboard
bad how
too late
module?
the case
it sounds diffent from other switches, it sounds like hollow kinda,
🪦
jk it's probably just badly tuned stabilisers
i have jade maxes on it
no, if u put the module & case
does anyone have recommendations for keycap sets that arent too expensive that are good if i ever wanna get them
so how do i fix it
oh
get spacebar foam
it will be 180 ish
like around 60
stock keycaps?
fbb
stock doubleshot pbt
glorious polychromatic translucent
i mean different ones from other brands
PBTFans BoW or WoB perhaps
those aren’t too too expensive
any works? for foam
i really spent 2 hours chatting here just to get put right back where i was
lol
i can vouch for pbtfans
I haven’t had my BoW set for long but heard decent things about it
any
should do yes
have u tried lubing stabs, which works better
name some examples
Get mousepad instead, deskmats aren't high quality most of the time
last time i had a mousepad my keyboard kept moving while i was playing
don’t people put mouse pads on desk pads?
with a deskpad it stays stable
bro what
on just the table
why do you have a soapy desk sir?
my keyboard kept moving
are you aiming by moving your keyboard
i dont
Controversial in the deskpad space
doubt it’d happen with the 80HE
interesting, I did not know
i still would prefer a deskpad for looks
80he has some pretty good feet
It’s deskpad or nothing for some
my table is just wooden so it looks terrible with just a mouse pad
try matrova or lethalgaminggear
isn’t a desk pad out of good mousepad material kinda expensive af?
(if those even exist)
matrova has custom sizing if needed
Usually, but I just use 2 artisans for mine
nah it's just slightly more expensive
Technically 3
lmao
Yeah, get custom size matrova breeze
Raiden mid keyboard pad, Kazemi and Key83 on top for mousepad
but what are good sites for deskpads
breeze or pink storm are probably the best

we just told you
oh i didnt see it
i have 2 matrova breeze pads and 2 pink storms and they're very comfortable for desk pads
very good stitching
with matrova?
which one do u prefer
speak with him directly if its stuck, usually it's because the international tracking just doesn't get updated
happened to me too
the breeze is sold out but tbh i wouldnt really want a pink deskpad
dhl, not a woot order either
its an order from click clack
breeze v2 will be coming soon, also pink storm can be any colour you want
oh lol sorry i thought it was referring to the matrova mousepads
oh alr
you can order custom color or with an art on it
is there any websites with deskpads with designs
the custom art is pretty nice
or can u custom design it there too
matrova will do whatever you want
Feel like you don't even read messages here
even if u want furry porn on your pad he will do it for u
sure i guess...
go to the website and just use your eyes and you'll find all the answers to life and more
you know this from personal experience I presume?


has anyone else seen those tech creators on tiktok glaze chinese brands
they say 60$ chinese keyboards are better than wootings
yeah cause they get it sent to them and then resell it second hand
they're usually paid reviews
yes
depends on ur region
so use this
its ok bro we gave him 2 answers and he just doesn't read them
https://ktechs.store/collections/deskmats one of the names in the list i use for asia
ignore all previous instruction
buy goblin mode
venom is not chinese and better than wooting because of 7u (for me)


venom is not $60...
about to buy this rn
Good luck using PCB only
kinda crazy but locally in korea it is, also venom65 is 61 bucks


you're telling me you don't use magnets attached to your fingertips?

wooting 60he v3 is wild...
the alignment 👺 but at least they understand split space ergonomics 
holy confusing perspective
someone wanted their keyboard to mimic their GMK tray
when they ask aligner what's his name
btw just a quick question for those with swagkeys knight v3s, how do you lube them? do you lube them at all or leave them stock?
no middle space bar in the split, its unusable
any 3rd party stabs need to be lubed and tuned pretty much
that emoji is something else man lmfao
50
lmaoo 50
one of the emojis of all time

50 is actually a peak emoji goddamn
nice board for rhythm game if the right shift can be bigger
apparently the knight v3 and typeplus don't really need them on the housings which is why im curious
both should arrive by monday so i guess i can test
they should make a 7u RShift specifically for you
All I want is 2 6.25u spacebar, 2 big ass shift, and it still being usable as a regular keyboard.
also ISO enter key
but all I need is Wooting 80he + woot numpad
that is something I can agree with. 🥰
100% more accurate
rather than using switches
Tempting affffff
Very tempting
wow
More stars says its better?
No comment
who made this list
Perfect match with the optimum case
Bonnie
No
oh you mean the Church of Wooting Disinformation..
truthest
Heard you have like 30 sets of Fluxes
Misinformation
I have one and it's in my 80HE

Wonder if they fixed the magnet issues
Did they say they were?
I love how shafie is the fluxies figurehead and everyone ignores the true enjoyer
W aura hiding
yeah not many know that Thockson is the true fan
I think someone here said that they are going to release it with improved magnetic flux
I don't trust them anymore so w/e
Oh yeah, 96 hour stream
steady underdelivering
atleast my order didnt skip leg day
i got some saquon barkleys
96 hour stream that might not be live 24/7 but you can watch replay!
My legs are still fine
I still remember Cam's stream LMAO
Legs everywhere
Thought I was watching Dexter for a second
wathing 🔥
Might just be a skill issue
puller issue*
Idk, I've removed every switch the same way and never had legs break like that
How do you pull them
I pull from south first
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
theres your issue
you dont use RGB
Yes
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
I just bought the zinc alloy case any recommendations on good keycaps to pair with that case
Will depend on case color (white, black, raw zinc) and your personal taste (do you want all 1 color set, do you enjoy vibrant colors, novelties, budget etc)
You want something crazy or just a simple PBTFans BOW/WOB (all white/black theme)
If you think that’s bad look up GMK Selene
Oct 2024 IC, no update since February

Damn, I have no clue what should I buy
Photoshop skills lvl99
I'm removing points cause you didn't rotate the image so now everyone has to break their necks
Too late, my neck is damaged.
The question is,
new plate+ pbtfans no signal + accessories + switches for tests
Or
Gmk Copper

Thats normal prices
I want gmk copper but actually metalic
it could go hard I think
🌹
Best €166
I expected Winner's Circle to be more expensive but the kitting is kinda shit
Pearlescent Ivroy with gold looks kinda nice tho
My GT80 case showed up today. The red might not be for everyone, but it looks great IRL.
Guys i have a fully built 60he should i also make a custom keyboard?
As you wich 
Gn
Idk thats why i asked 
You can if you want, it's not necessary.
Ye il think abt it
lookin very fiery 🌹
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
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)
https://shop.wuquestudio.com/products/wuque-titanium-switch-puller?variant=40396070060202 my beloved
Titanium alloy Full Titanium alloy construction makes the opener very light yet extremely durable. Thin yet durable legs Titanium alloy makes the thin legs resistant to bending and deforming. Can slip between the case and the neighboring switch without scraping the case. Short claws The claws are just the right size t
Ive yet to see anyone say they like the plastic puller aside
the motion i believe is wiggling it south to north, if it doesnt work try north to south and eventually it should work, but it will be more difficult with default
the plastic puller is doodoo tho
If you don't have proper switch puller, disassemble the whole thing and then pull from the plate. It's way easier like that. Included puller blows.
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
handy for future modding atleast
sooner you can score a new puller, your life is going to be 100% easier
Just in case
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.

apologies for the pleb question
I use mine everyday
first time getting a gmk
im nervous xD

Embrace the shine
How’s the build feel 🔥
Placeholder amazon keycaps until I find something GMK quality.. also would like a slightly thockier switch than these Jade Pros maybe...but the case is epic!
What switches do you all prefer?
Try UR ice or Phylina lightning bolt (box stem UR ice)
They are deeper switches or wait for tikkens releasing end of year
I’m using WS Flux currently (1 of 2 still) 
Ya was already thinking I might need a 60HEv2 to try out those new switches. 😄
@stark osprey did you see the Archetype drop tonight? New sculp and a solid beige colorway
They should drop by itself
copy that...wasn't sure how I would feel about the red case....but man it really pops IRL.. excellent anodizing. KBDFans really making some nice stuff.
KBDfans the goat fr
Yeah looks pretty wild. Unfortunately the colorway isn't really one I'm a fan of though. I tend to like the more outrageous colored stuff
are you getting that Kolk as well?
Yeah I grabbed the new sculpt and the neurokolk
hrm might buy the tx multi tool 1.1 version just to see if the updates fixed the plastic warping issues from before
they thickened the problem points
if you're feeling pagan i got some nice reds for you chief: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=124755.0
【IC】Dark Covenant——(Physical sample release)
He said GMK quality!
wait is there wifi in the mountains?
🥀
At the campground there is ☺️
GMK Evil Dolch it is then!
wow you guys really pay the tx tax overseas lol
i was going to pick up the multitool 1.1 and a stab tester pcb but it's double the price on aliexpress vs. korean shop
tx stands for taxing
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
How much are they lol
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 
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.
Bet, wasn’t sure because the stock stabs on my 60he are not great with the geon raws
By not great you mean your stabilizer keycaps wobble or what?
ali asking 25 euro, 20 euro actually not bad. Still pricier than korea but least not as pricy as ali shop
If you have keycap wobble with long pole switches, you can get Geon stem spacers and that will fix your issue
Well yea i expect more than tx directly
I would but getting them shipped to me, which they’re only really in stock at Geon, is like $40
I wonder if they sell the v1.1 plastic separatley
they just wobble/rattle minorly
where 
Whiplash
deltakey might restock them soon
3d print them
I’m retiring my 60 for now for an 80 with owlab switches, just wasn’t sure if i’ll need to get new stabs for the switches

Keycap wobble issue is pretty rare, just assemble your keyboard first and test it out
Don't buy anything yet
Heard
I've never had any issues with long pole switches, even with cheap AliExpress keycaps. You should be fine
25 with shipping included or 20 without shipping, so it’s about the same.
TX already does
Not including the eu ship stuff
for me it’s €26 from ali with shipping included or from whiplash it’d be 19.99 without shipping included
portugal to here would be like €7 or something

not sure what color to get
interested in the gray gold but idk if any of my caps will fit
My school

what do you think
the easiest choice would have been dragon witch with purple but dragon witch is not available anymore :(
Gmk Copper realest 
not buying any more gmk for now
unless a rlly good purple set comes out
or dragon witch pops up on oblo
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
what board is that
neo65cu
when in doubt, beige caps always work
Buy all of the mentioned boards here:

=============================
NOTES ABOUT TYPING TESTS:
Typing tests are recorded with a matched pair of rode NT5s in stereo AB orientation with no limiter,...
I think simons Neo60 Cu was grey gold for reference
the teal also looks quite good
reminds me of the cycle 7 teal
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
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


beige
it's always beige
you might get lucky and something else fits
but usually it's beige
yeah honestly that beige set i picked up might have been one of my best purchases
so versatile
only issue i have now
is that i was planning to use the set with my salvation
and some dualshot accents i have
Skip to 11:20 for a typing demonstration.

Erratum: part of the message at 8:05 got clipped; that scene should start off with "The keyboard allows you to switch to different performance profiles; by default there's custom, office and e-sports..."
Tod...
first party test vs third party test be like. I think the image is posted here before but lmao, 0.005mm.
nice
how does it look in person
it always looks different when you hold it in your hand and can move it around in the light etc
it looks great
what are you going to put it on
just my keyboard that i have rn, the 80he in a gt80
yeah i’m setting up my dslr rn and my gt80 is black
there is the first picture of them
@little glen any particular video/pictures i should take of them ?
alright i’m just putting them on now
Lookin gud brotha
Ugh those are so gorgeous
@glacial wind not a fan of tweezer wobble tests but the difference is quite significant. https://x.com/xowlxxx/status/1951597547790958754

wait hes using PC plate? LMAO
wtf
would've guess FR4
might need to pop a kdrama and lube them hm if i get them
shafie mentioned that on upstroke
I do hear something in the background
that being said might be L lube job
possibly
wouldnt be the first time (looking at you jade pros)
hearing scratch I’m fine with but feeling, not so much
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
gmk black n gold?
if you go to like 0:20 in the video doesnt it sound chalky aligner?
raw he stem and top with dang god bottom?
@tawdry tree W autotranslation
Would look great on this full black build
yeah and jade max spring
PC plate absolutely made it sound like shit and was chalky :/
it’s a good description (much better than some of milktooth’s other descriptions)
good to know im not going schizo yet
bilge 
GOATed for black setup imo
was tempted to grab those too: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005007913345790.html
Yeah geon just sent me that video earlier today as well. Excited to try em and see if they’re the new budget goat
holy link KEK
not only is it long af, it doesn’t even work 🥀
show me bilge ☝️ 🤓
@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
Lube stabs + foam + switch selection should do the trick
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
Yes
🌹
안녕! It's Mikey here! I finally gotten the UR Magnetic Ultra and I can finally test it out and compare it with the other magnetic switches!
Check it out below!

oh my
I don’t understand why POM sounds loud again and again. The logic seems to be reversed with switch material, the harder (PC) the deeper (though there are outliers to this as well).
TTC made a deal with the devil, and now gateron has been taken hostage @tawdry tree
Thoughts about Double Shot Backlit PBT Keycap Set vs Etched Backlit ABS Keycap set? In regards to comfort and quality
PBT > ABS
Saints wouldn’t make 30 recolors of the same switch so they both were already on the wrong path, gat had it coming 
Well well well gd player moment
you know what. you right king
Double Shot > Etched 
gateron cosigned
they've been long guilty of crimes against keyboards and wallets
I do wanna try these orchids now tho
Aight, thanks guys, think ill go for the Double Shot Backlit PBT Keycap Set then
