[calm pulsar]

I want to do a new HE build but might not be able to do it until battlefield 6 release

[fluid ravine]

dudeeee im beggin like plesssss i need a switch that gives off a strong and solid sounding bottom out out of a HE switch maneeeeee

[little glen]

alu looks interesting but its 14 bucks more 😭

[fluid ravine]

i want more keeb stuff as well but im focusing on getting audio stuff like dac and what not

[tropic urchin]

If you want more balanced output I’d go FR4

If you want some balance but with some metal clang alu

[little glen]

i just kinda got bored of this pc plate

[fluid ravine]

CF

SHINEEEE

[tropic urchin]

[calm pulsar]

im focused on getting a ps5 pro rn and you reminding me about a proper audio setup too☠️

im cooked

[fluid ravine]

the helly

[tulip rapids]

why you want the bs 5 bro?

for gta

?

[calm pulsar]

gran turismo 7 as well

demon's souls looks good too on it

but Im aware that its a dumb purchase

[tulip rapids]

imo if its just a standard one and not a special theme on it i was get regular or slim

its a waste of an upgrade

[calm pulsar]

I agree, I might still change my mind
but damn RT reflections look soo good in GT7 in gameplay

[tulip rapids]

especially since theyre already talking about next gen consoles like ps6 and the new xbox being confirmed

[tropic urchin]

If I’m useful for one thing it was this

[calm pulsar]

yeah.... damn
and ps5 slim/standard is also like 50% cheaper lmao

[steady halo]

i might buy it only for my venom tkl

[tulip rapids]

no green but white not a bad option

[sweet oak]

fuck normal sound tests, we need to do sound tests with rhythm games

[steady halo]

that's bottom weight option

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/hang-first-time-smiles-gif-14991372

[calm pulsar]

nah kbdfans has to do a pine green option for sure

they always do

these are nice

[tulip rapids]

thats the case

[tropic urchin]

I like far right

[steady halo]

yeah mb

bottom case

[tulip rapids]

the grey

acutally i have no idea what the colour is

Oh it’s grey

Nvm

[harsh dove]

I love that GMK Rubrehose is all double shot even the novelties

[fluid ravine]

I might need to clean mine lowk

[harsh dove]

Instead of some sets being printed

[fluid ravine]

[calm pulsar]

really? I thought some were printed

thats super nice

[harsh dove]

Nah they double shot

Yeah

[little glen]

i wish they sold just the colored keys on their own

cause i already have a beige gmk set

[steady halo]

thoughts on pbtfans umbra for black case?

[tropic urchin]

aight chat its PP owlabs time until raptors arrive

[fluid ravine]

[steady halo]

[tropic urchin]

yes

[fluid ravine]

that's navy blue no?

[tropic urchin]

no middle keys always look weird

but blue is nice

[fluid ravine]

[tropic urchin]

midnight blue @fluid ravine

[calm pulsar]

[fluid ravine]

ok im not tripping

[steady halo]

i think midnight blue

[tropic urchin]

[steady halo]

i kinda like the umbra but idk about it on black

[calm pulsar]

IDE theme vibes

[steady halo]

HAHAHHA

umbreon vibes

i found a brand new pbtfans umbra for $50

[steady halo]

[steady halo]

what is that set

[fluid ravine]

oh shi

cam finna promote

KEK

[sacred elm]

Yeah, either that or silver v2 case

[calm pulsar]

gmk taiga mods + gmk wob alphas

[harsh dove]

I’m willing to sell mine if you want it

[calm pulsar]

it has to be cheaper than optimum with the 60hev2 module discount then

hehe

[sacred elm]

Yeah, I plan to get it with the module

Or just silver v2 case

Waiting for more pictures

[harsh dove]

I can hook you up, just hmu in DMs if you want

[calm pulsar]

LMAO my duhuks I was selling werent picked up by the guy and postal company says to collect them or they will utilize em

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

utilize by postal company

[sacred elm]

I'll DM you if I decide to get optimum

[harsh dove]

[calm pulsar]

ngl might even ditch em

[steady halo]

they might need to change their keyboard to wooting two

HAHAHHAHAHA

and use the switches

[sacred elm]

LOL

[ember osprey]

Anybody have any switch recommendations or can help me decide which one's to get? I've never used an He Keyboard before so I was hoping to get some advice

I was considering
• Owlab Ti He
• Geon Raptor V2
• Gateron Jade pro's or the Everglide Master

[night atlas]

+1 to this

[calm pulsar]

raptors seem to be the latest improved jade/ti he type of switch

I'd go for raptor v2s or ti he depending on whats easier to get for you

[ember osprey]

Okay sweet thanks, my keyboard has like 2-3 weeks so I was doing some research beforehand

[neat mulch]

Any cases out there with a low typing angle like Optimum but not as expensive?

The tofu is 7 degrees, I don’t like the Alumaze, and the Optimum is a bit outside my price range.

[calm pulsar]

freebird60 is lower angle than tofu

[neat mulch]

Ooof more expensive than the Optimum case

[calm pulsar]

wait what?

[sacred elm]

Quick comparison videos: #🔧│keyboard_modding message

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

Get either Raptor v2 or Owlab Ti, skip Jade Pro/Master. Raptor's and Ti's have similar sound but Raptor's have less stem wobble, also they're cheaper.

[calm pulsar]

https://keebsforall.com/products/freebird60-case-only?srsltid=AfmBOord8XkXSXnz1Nep1vz2RBpY4OFFxxtIOfFOVq94s4TCA7181ENo

there is a case only listing

[neat mulch]

Oh nice. I was wrong

Thank you

[ember osprey]

Thank you, I think I'm gonna try out the raptors then

[calm pulsar]

np, not entirely sure if it will work with friction mount like in an optimum case though, but I used to friction mount my wooting in there using a typical keyboard big oring

my ole freebirdie

[cloud pivot]

steelseries omnipoints

first gen gateron HE, has hella scratch and wobble

I still have a set of gateron ks-20 whites with tape in the drawer☠️

felt so dumb buying them but it was before jades came out

[tropic urchin]

@calm pulsar I can barely hear my switches anymore help help

[calm pulsar]

take iems out of your ears

[sacred elm]

Buy HyperX Cloud

[tropic urchin]

42.5g owlabs on PP is diabolically quiet

LMAO

nah

[calm pulsar]

damn lol they probably need fr4 or something

[tropic urchin]

sooner buy HD800s

[tropic urchin]

raptors should be fine

light shortspring always makes it hella soft

true

[wispy vine]

ooooooooooooooooooooo

maybe Tom's aluminum wont suck ass if i got it

gotta wait for orange man to take his bi monthly tariff siesta

[harsh dove]

Tonald Drump

[tropic urchin]

old meme gang

part of me hopes raptors are clicky i might be cooked

idk why

[harsh dove]

you're outdated

[wispy vine]

Luckily this got sent before the cheeto flavored tariff man had his latest temper tantrum lol

[tropic urchin]

i got the 2 day shipping option and glad i did

arrived day before

i do enjoy the poppiness of PP

[wispy vine]

The right choice indeed

[harsh dove]

PP outdated too

all about diamond plates now

[marsh saffron]

i just spent 140$ on shipping for my cars injectors 😭

[tropic urchin]

okay bro

send that shit my way dawg

[harsh dove]

VVS Diamond Plates

[marsh saffron]

• im gonna need import/duty fees and possibly tarrif too

W

all because my car has a rare engine and toyota doesnt even sell/produce the injectors anymore

[tropic urchin]

okay MBS

I see you

[harsh dove]

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/okay-gif-20155470

@harsh dove stream i wanna see it

and make you put raeds on it for ultimate humilitation for that plate

[calm pulsar]

reacted with a discord nitro emote after Cam

[harsh dove]

lmao its ai generated

[tropic urchin]

figured as much

[tropic urchin]

even AI knows to put those shitty toronto keyboard man fangs into their plates

W

[harsh dove]

Lol

[calm pulsar]

AI could've done better and made the plate for pcb mount stabs tho

[tropic urchin]

where is sno

i want a full keyboard sound test for raptors

@glacial wind the people (me) demand full ST on raptors 🥀

[calm pulsar]

(me too)

[tropic urchin]

multiple people, some might say the best people

[harsh dove]

me three

[tropic urchin]

definitely the bessst

[glacial wind]

lol i'll try do one today when i get some time. My setup isn't stock though so it's going to sound real different on cf

[tropic urchin]

this is acceptable

[harsh dove]

[tropic urchin]

what isnt acceptable is PC plate ST

I should have a decently informed opinion on what it'll sound like on others considering the many times ive swapped plates at this point

[calm pulsar]

as a hard plate andy I'd even prefer cf for sound test

[tropic urchin]

I’ll prob put my raptors on FR4 and then CF depending on sound

Silver CF too gud

[sacred elm]

me too @glacial wind preferably on optimum

[tropic urchin]

Now bros really asking for it

Does Sno have an optimum even

[sacred elm]

Yes -_-

[tropic urchin]

Sorry gang

[sacred elm]

His optimum is PC plate tho

[tropic urchin]

Oh no

@glacial wind don’t listen to him pls

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

You might as well just say Q1 2026 🥀

[chilly mural]

Im interested to see wooting knob sound test

[calm pulsar]

[sweet oak]

Better sound like crunch

[chilly mural]

Hopefully it has a metallic thunk when pressed down

[steady halo]

it has the same or almost par with v1 venom 60he performance

venom rgb

[chilly mural]

With rgb effect?

[steady halo]

yep

[chilly mural]

Wooting lost

[steady halo]

the rgb was a rainbow pattern when tested

at first launch only 6.25u

but if it has a high demand for 7u, maybe 7u rgb will be created

[glacial wind]

Here’s a quick and dirty one. Again phone recording so take it with grain of salt

Raptor v2 + cf plate

[harsh dove]

Ima take it with multiple grains of salt

[fluid ravine]

snappay

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/salty-salt-bae-gif-7529894

[chilly mural]

Uohhhh

[glacial wind]

i got a nicer recording mic on the way so hopefully soon i can do quick sound tests even just using my normal camera + mic without needing to use phone

[harsh dove]

[tulip rapids]

How you like the cf plate? Im building a venom keyboard and was debating trying out that plate. I currently use a pc plate on my wooting. Is the cf plate really stiff compare to it?

[harsh dove]

Sounds good tho

[fluid ravine]

what mic you got on the way?

[steady halo]

thoughts on how the pcb looks?

[fluid ravine]

curiousity

[harsh dove]

Seems somewhat brighter than Owlabs

[glacial wind]

i love it basically means your plate doesn't move at all or bend

[harsh dove]

I feel like Owls might be a tad deeper

[glacial wind]

sony ecm-m1, it has a particular stereo omnidirectional mode that I want to use for doing quick sound tests direct from camera

[fluid ravine]

sony brand mic

[tulip rapids]

im just worried about hand fatigue. I also didnt use my wooting steel plate that long

[glacial wind]

stereo + condenser is way more accurate than dynamic mics

[calm pulsar]

sound clean me like

[fluid ravine]

oh for sure

[harsh dove]

Yeah CF is nice balance of being like Alu without the metallic sound, and Alu can be finicky with HE sometimes depending on the build

[tropic urchin]

Oh shit

thats so good i might go CF off rip

holy

[glacial wind]

my other option was to grab like a zoom h4n pro portable recorder and record direct to that, but it complicated my recording and exporting process, which I didn't really want to add more steps when i'm recording 100 sound tests

[fluid ravine]

holy shiz

benom cf 7u plate for $34

😭

got me cooked

and theres one left

[harsh dove]

oof nah

go aliexpress

[sacred elm]

@glacial wind Would you say Raptors sound better than Owlabs or they are almost similar

[fluid ravine]

i cannot with aliexpress i swear

[harsh dove]

I got CF plate for benom 7u for like $18

[fluid ravine]

i suck at finding shit from there

[fluid ravine]

got a link

[calm pulsar]

hyperboring cf plate for benom

[fluid ravine]

gyaaa

[calm pulsar]

aliexbress

[harsh dove]

yeah fub that

[calm pulsar]

ohh damn geon has his own cf too

[glacial wind]

they're similar, but different pitches of clack slightly. would just come down to personal preference, but both are clean sounding

[fluid ravine]

wait can you elaborate on the different pitches

[harsh dove]

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808072559559.html

[fluid ravine]

thock boi needs to know

if it's brighter im grabbing

[glacial wind]

i think owlab ti sound a bit more sharp

[fluid ravine]

mm

[sacred elm]

Which do you prefer?

[fluid ravine]

owlab uses PA66 right?

[harsh dove]

Damn price went up on AliE

oof

they were cheaper

[fluid ravine]

FUG

[glacial wind]

eh honestly both sound fine, i never really cared about pitch beyond it being clean so either is fine for me

as long as i don't get chatter i'm happy

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[fluid ravine]

valid

[harsh dove]

Oh really?

[fluid ravine]

wait teehee sounding a bit more sharp in comparison

[harsh dove]

I kinda felt like the Raps were sharper/brighter but I can't remember last time I tried owls on CF

been on PP for awhile now

[calm pulsar]

sno learning where his keys are on keybord

[fluid ravine]

CAM Rawhukies vs Teehee

I need to get an idea

pitch wise

[harsh dove]

Lol I still have rawhuks in the og Frog Mini

[glacial wind]

lol i was checking enter key

it's the one key that annoys me on raptor v2 on cf, but that's just due to the tone of the key

[harsh dove]

Don't sound good on stabs or just enter key?

[glacial wind]

it's not so much the stabs just the rebound resonance for that key sounds very pingy, but nothing really can be done there

[fluid ravine]

ooof

[harsh dove]

Oh yeah

Interesting

[glacial wind]

there's no rattle or anything, but just that tone from the size of the key and where it is on keyboard

[calm pulsar]

case affects this as well I think

[harsh dove]

is that maybe the wire hitting the CF?

[glacial wind]

yep, if you take pcb out of the keyboard it changes too

80he has a similar thing with raw he on spacebar

[fluid ravine]

could be case yeah

[harsh dove]

Ah

[harsh dove]

yeah

[glacial wind]

where in the case it sounds like you have rattly stab in spacebar with a raw he switch

i'm actually still deciding what to use as the main recording keyboard setup for the official soundtests

[tulip rapids]

cf is not stiffer than wooting steel plate right?

[glacial wind]

i want it to be something most commonly used by users, so probably either a v2 stock or an 80he in plastic case

[harsh dove]

No

CF is stiff but not steel stiff

[tropic urchin]

CF is a 7, steel is 8 on stiffness

[sacred elm]

v2

[tropic urchin]

steel apparently has really bad ping

[harsh dove]

I feel like the v2 stock would be better, I feel like the sound is how do I say, more contained in 60% cases than the TKL ?

[glacial wind]

v2 stock would also sound the best out of wootings stock options i think

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[tulip rapids]

alu like a 4?

[tropic urchin]

after hearing CF FR4 is going to be the play 100% when they arrive

[harsh dove]

more like 5

[tropic urchin]

I think FR4 is 4, Alu is 5

[fluid ravine]

PP is like 1 😂

[harsh dove]

#🪛│modding_faq

[tropic urchin]

Alu and FR4 is similar, but alu has some metallic properties to it

[tulip rapids]

ty guys

[tropic urchin]

@tulip rapids benom alu >>>> my toronto keyboardman alu

[fluid ravine]

i think the only 3rd party venom plates i would buy would be just for PP tbh

[fluid ravine]

otherwise i finna get my hands on geon's venom plates for the other materials

[calm pulsar]

yeah I'd prefer that too

[harsh dove]

yeah and you can likely trust geon quality over others

[calm pulsar]

damn I want that geon cf now

[fluid ravine]

right???

[tropic urchin]

same

[fluid ravine]

i kinda regret not getting cf

[tulip rapids]

i just gotta close my eyes when i order from the geon website i know those custom fees gonna f* me up

[tropic urchin]

it wasnt in stock for me sadge

otherwise i would've gotten it

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/girl-slap-anime-mad-student-gif-17423278

[fluid ravine]

but at the time im like i already tried cf plate on my wooting

damn i shouldve not had that mindset

[tulip rapids]

really you dont like the alu plate that much?

[fluid ravine]

no i love alu

it's just that, im really into bright sounding boards

[tulip rapids]

alu loves you too

[harsh dove]

Wonder if wooting will dive into making various plate materials

[fluid ravine]

haha yup

[tulip rapids]

bright means louder?

[fluid ravine]

that'd be great

[harsh dove]

yeah

[fluid ravine]

yeah basically

[tulip rapids]

i see i see

[fluid ravine]

the volume of the pitch increases

sum like that

brighter vs deeper

[tropic urchin]

without foam and silicone to mute alot of sound + softer mounting will radically change the sound so alu wasnt that good on 80HE for me, it was fire on benom so CF might be a much different experience too from 80HE

[sacred elm]

I hope

[tulip rapids]

im trying to have a deeper clean sound that isnt to bright (forgive me if that doesnt make sense im a pleb)

[fluid ravine]

yeah we got it

[calm pulsar]

need a soft plate then I'd say

[fluid ravine]

PEEPEEEE

[calm pulsar]

or fr4 at least

[fluid ravine]

lmao

[harsh dove]

in that case, I stick with the top 4 in that list I sent

PC, PP, POM, FR4

[fluid ravine]

I'd say fr4 and PP

personally

recording back from 4 months ago, here's fr4

[tulip rapids]

foam and polyfill gonna be overkill in the leggera?

[harsh dove]

I'd try poly first

[fluid ravine]

polyfill is the second vid

poly first yeah

[harsh dove]

then try foam after

[fluid ravine]

not big fan of plate foam at all nor have i heard a single build of venom with plate foam so i can't say

[stoic ocean]

Is frog g?

[harsh dove]

yeah I very rarely use plate foams

with alu it can be nice

[tulip rapids]

my poor cat gonna hear me clacking on my benom. Hes gonna think im a clanker

[fluid ravine]

honestly for venom being venom, i dont think it needs foam unless you REALLY want it

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[tulip rapids]

what switches did you use?

[stoic ocean]

Clean asf

[fluid ravine]

@harsh dove fugging pre amp from evo 4, that eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is pissing me off the more i think about it, weak ah shielding

slowly hating

Lmfao

[fluid ravine]

Rawhukies

[fluid ravine]

ppreciate

[stoic ocean]

I want the frog but vella i prefer

is heavier

and looks clean too

[fluid ravine]

i've been using the same switch for the past few months

all i could do to my venom would just be plate swap and no foam or with polyfill

biggest changes i could do

I still got my raws and all that but i dont use em anymore lol

wait i could sell my raws if i wanted to no? @harsh dove

[tropic urchin]

biggest change you could do is get ze copper pesante

[fluid ravine]

lmao

copper pesante???

brasssssssss

i swear we getting copper and brass swap in here

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[fluid ravine]

brass weight

copper pesante

[harsh dove]

people who are "uninformed" will buy RAWs

[fluid ravine]

bet

how much should i put it up for

per switch

[tropic urchin]

didnt they have a copper case at some point or was that just a psyop

[fluid ravine]

nu

[harsh dove]

Probs around 0.18-25 cents per maybe

[fluid ravine]

the only plan was brass pesante

0.25 it is

LMAO

need my moneh

[sacred elm]

Accidentally broke my favorite cup 😭

[tropic urchin]

new owlab case

[fluid ravine]

noooo

[sacred elm]

[fluid ravine]

73 raws for $18.25

hello brevs :)) been a while

[fluid ravine]

lmao im puting them in the first batch box

[fluid ravine]

i forgot how to post lmao

dont use reddit enough gosh dang it

[harsh dove]

they be having rules

so I'd check those

[tropic urchin]

yearly

[slate fox]

[slate fox]

what switches are those

[glacial wind]

the question is do I get a separate zoom recorder or just use the sony stereo mode for the official sound tests hrm

it does sound pretty good, but hard to find samples of people who specifically use stereo mode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWXahAPKPQc

[tawdry tree]

that’s a whole ass cpu on there lmao. why is it so big?

[harsh dove]

I'd say try the sony stereo mode first

[fluid ravine]

Lekker v1

jk

Rawhukies

[slate fox]

lol very nais

[glacial wind]

yeah i think it'll probably be good enough. I'm not actually even sure if a zoom setup would be any better

[harsh dove]

oh they were rawhuks?

oops

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

i dont own teehee

[harsh dove]

I thought you did idk why

[fluid ravine]

Pops told me to hold off on it and wait for like bigger releases

[calm pulsar]

rawhuks are ti he anyways

[fluid ravine]

yeah basically what he said

[steady halo]

for the rgb

and performance

[harsh dove]

Yeah I think so too, and yeah honestly not sure

[steady halo]

but true, it looks huge

[fluid ravine]

@harsh dove sent you a dm of the post, did i do it right?

[steady halo]

the way it reaches par performance as the non rgb amazed me

[calm pulsar]

lmao we got VENOMX3D now

[tawdry tree]

[tawdry tree]

wait does it actually?

[steady halo]

yep

from what they said

[tawdry tree]

I thought geon said it’s gonna be a little impact on performance when you have rgb effects on

if the performance is the same, it’s actually pretty fucking good

might need to get that too

[sacred elm]

Was the RGB static?

[steady halo]

only tiny number difference

[steady halo]

rainbow mode

[sacred elm]

Static or it was an effect

[tawdry tree]

performance numbers published already?

[steady halo]

yesterday

[calm pulsar]

maybe it was static with the rainbow colorway

[sacred elm]

I'm guessing it was static, that won't really change the performance

RGB effects tank the performance on the other hand

[steady halo]

i'm impressed

and i'm curious when they will make the 7u ver

[calm pulsar]

im guessing if people ask for it he will, but most 7u folk are probably fine with non rgb

[steady halo]

idk if the translation is correct, but they changed the sensor also

sooo, at least a new refresh?

[uneven cradle]

7u 65% is cursed

[steady halo]

who is talking about 65% and 7u

[calm pulsar]

65u 7%

[uneven cradle]

Oh I'm not sure why my brain figured this was the venom65

[calm pulsar]

yeah the venom 65 that is sold in korea rn is non rgb

cant recall if it was 6.25 or 7

probably 6.25u

[uneven cradle]

I wonder what the sales are like between them on the venom60 currently

[steady halo]

6.2&

6.25

[steady halo]

international wise, 60% wins

[uneven cradle]

Oh I mean 7u and 6.25u

[steady halo]

mb

[uneven cradle]

Gotta guess 7u is a lot more niche but would like to see by how much

[steady halo]

6.25 on top

[steady halo]

if korean market

what i seen, 6.25u has a huge sold numbers

[sacred elm]

[steady halo]

ngl,
i'm hoping that the 7u can use full right shift

so i can get rid of the small fn key

annoying

[calm pulsar]

I like it cause I dont want my UP arrow to be a giant ass shift key

[glacial wind]

wait i didn't even know sony had this mic https://alphacommunity.in/photography-gear/accessories/ecm-s1/

that's really neat actually

wirelessly feeds into your camera but has a separate large receiver you can mount or put anywhere

this may be the play actually

[steady halo]

idc about arrow if i have fn on my caps (on hold) and use wasd

1 hand arrow keys

[calm pulsar]

thats nice actually
well with mod tap they are 1hand on the right side too

but I also use caps as fn

for frow access

damn left hand arrows might even be more tech

I gotta try that

[steady halo]

i have been using that tech since mech

[steady halo]

but u have to use right hand

right hand = mouse for gaming

[calm pulsar]

yeah but I dont use arrows when gaming never I think

but just for general use it is nicer

[steady halo]

oh wait

true

but i just love to use it when editing

[calm pulsar]

not sure why venom cant have full right shift though

maybe has to do with sensor placement

or just geon didnt want that lol

[steady halo]

if that's so, why they can do split backspace?

[steady halo]

yeah

[calm pulsar]

yeah thats why im wondering
maybe geon thought that if you go for 7u then you'd always want split right shift, but having that option would've been cool

[steady halo]

maybe, and the option would be pretty nice

i haven't been a huge fan of the split right shift on 7u

that's why i prefer my venom mx rn

and i might go back to 6.25

i will get roasted rn

[calm pulsar]

I might grab a venom mx too next time I order from geon

though I already have an mx pcb in my luminkey lx60

[steady halo]

i got mine for quite a while now

my main switches for those are the type r

lovely build

[calm pulsar]

im using MX raptors rn

[wispy vine]

Custom PC plate swapped in

[steady halo]

repters?

[calm pulsar]

rapters realest

[steady halo]

oh rapters

i forgot

HAHHAHA

[calm pulsar]

nice, are those jade airs or UR ice ultra (or wtv they're called)

[wispy vine]

UR ice, I wanted to try and get as close to thocky as HE can

[steady halo]

raeds are thocky

[tulip rapids]

what case is that?

[wispy vine]

UR Ice, 3 layer foam, custom PC plate

[wispy vine]

the keyboard is the Lemokey L5 HE, I went the modify route this time.

[tropic urchin]

wait are those fries in ice cream

[sacred elm]

get off my screen

[tulip rapids]

indeed

[tulip rapids]

but wendy is a honest girl

[steady halo]

it's tasty

[tulip rapids]

DX

[calm pulsar]

one of the most NA things I've seen

[tulip rapids]

wendy is hella good

[tropic urchin]

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone do it in NA

[tulip rapids]

i'll die on that hill

[tropic urchin]

But this is my first time

[steady halo]

especially mcflurry

with 🍟

[calm pulsar]

everyone does it away from people then

[tropic urchin]

Step up from McDonald’s and below 5 guys for me

[calm pulsar]

[tulip rapids]

depends on the five guys

[tropic urchin]

Spicy chicken nuggets is 🌹

[steady halo]

more of an Asian thing to do

[tulip rapids]

if they do the borgor right 100% gonna be a good time

[steady halo]

ngl Asian KFC are fire

[tropic urchin]

Real

[tulip rapids]

[steady halo]

rather than US kfc

[calm pulsar]

what about Vkusno i Tochka x Hello Kitty

[tulip rapids]

MEOW MEOW

[steady halo]

@tulip rapids canadian A&W are nice

[tropic urchin]

The pictures I see out of there makes me want some, it’s not fair

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/vegeta-dragonballsuper-dragonball-meme-language-of-gods-gif-14707991

bro knows about the forbidden fruit

[steady halo]

best kfc imo

especially chicken

is in Asia

[tulip rapids]

i dont eat fast food as much anymore but when i do. A&W and Wendy 10/10

https://tenor.com/view/borat-borat-very-nice-verynice-thumbs-up-gif-25080066

[tropic urchin]

Wendy’s burgers are atleast somewhat consistent

[steady halo]

there are a lot of nice foods from asia

[calm pulsar]

when I go to Japan I gotta try japanese kfc and other popular chains

they have the wildest stuff usually

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/pink-panther-hamburger-gif-13280637

[tulip rapids]

eat a lot of mochi for me

one day i'll go there 🌹

[steady halo]

come

next week, i will be in south korea tho

what should i eat there

[calm pulsar]

got it chief, but ngl we eat japanese treats all the time even here

[tulip rapids]

not done dropping money on a gmk set. Gonna be slurping sugar water for a bit xD

[steady halo]

i might be fcked because of Korean Fried Chicken

Their chickens are so juicy

[tulip rapids]

i tried some here but it was a terrible experience (dessert wise) damn phonies aint real japanese

[steady halo]

and cheese powdered flavor or some spicy sauce things

[calm pulsar]

are you from Nippon

[steady halo]

nope

[calm pulsar]

pretty sure you can order some packed treats imported from japan, like mochi and stuff

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/dk-nintendo-donkey-kong-gif-23203423

i dont have to suffer anymore from these lazy half ass chefs?

[calm pulsar]

we have stuff like that on marketplaces or diff websited even under sanctions, surely you'd have that in Canada

[tulip rapids]

japanese resturants good but idk everytime i go to a japanese dessert place

its just a no no

[tulip rapids]

probably im just a monke

https://tenor.com/view/gorilla-monke-monkey-spin-ape-gif-25078721

[calm pulsar]

yeah desserts are a different thing, they are probably nicer than packaged stuff

[tulip rapids]

i tried the ice cream mochi from costco

that was really good

[steady halo]

oh crap

i miss costco

[calm pulsar]

ohh I tried that in a japanese restaurant once too, it's nice

[tulip rapids]

what happened to your bostco

[steady halo]

we don't have costco

[fluid ravine]

dudeeee that shi busssss

[tulip rapids]

this is the one i had

[glacial wind]

oh. Of course there's a random korean youtuber who has tested the ecm s1 for keyboard asmr lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR-DzsvHo5o

[steady halo]

ooofff

10.99

[tulip rapids]

tbh i cant tell if its usd or cad

i googled it

[calm pulsar]

it expired 5 years ago ggs for you

[glacial wind]

okay mind changed. I'm going to get an s1 instead of the m1

[calm pulsar]

don't forget it's about the sound test

[glacial wind]

this thing is neat. Wireless large style mic so you can reposition it anywhere but it's still wireless

[tulip rapids]

the ice cream still around i got it like 3 months ago

[calm pulsar]

[glacial wind]

i didn't even know sony made a wireless large repositionable mic like that

that saves so much headache of constantly recording separately and remixing it afterwards

[tulip rapids]

@sweet oak someone from tik tok tried doing the AI Honey keyboard irl 💀

someone ask grok if this girl is okay

[steady halo]

wow

honey keyboard

but she looks kinda fine 🫦

[tropic urchin]

Never alone but will be if she does that to your keeb

[steady halo]

nvm

[calm pulsar]

lmao

[steady halo]

i take my words back

[tropic urchin]

[chilly mural]

How pom sound like in an alternate universe

[harsh dove]

That's sick

[fluid ravine]

oh hell no

my friend sent me this video at some point

the ragebait was working

[indigo glen]

Has anyone tried using the Friction Fit Pad 60HE on the gh60 tray mount housing (ex tofu)?

[silent bison]

Hello! Recently, I’ve been looking into Cherry Black MX2A switches, and I know that they are best when filmed and spring swapped. I’m trying to go for a very clacky and scratchy build, hence I plan on purchasing dry MX2As. However, many people use tx films, but my platform of purchase has those out of stock. Thus, I need to know if Deskeys V2 films are a good replacement? What sound signature change will it bring to the switch? Or should I go for the tx 0.125 films instead (those are in stock).

[glacial wind]

you might want to ask in one of the more mechanical focused discords as most of us don't use switch films due to it interfering with HE performance

[austere creek]

just so you know we seem to be the most active keyboard discord. people have said this quite a few times in the past when we recommended asking in a mech keyboard server.

idk if this is in the community finder or just generally on discord though

[crimson sky]

generally the harder and thinner the film the lighter the sound, iirc deskey films are foam, which would make them deeper sounding

the thickness is only relevant if the film gets overly thick though, there are some stupidly thick 3d printed films for example

but cherry switches are not super bright sounding to begin with

[calm pulsar]

makes sense with HE keyboards taking off insanely since you guys released 60he, and with it customizing boards also became more mainstream

while the mech scene is usually in smaller communities

[sacred elm]

😃👍

[calm pulsar]

that boxed stem already looks ugly

like on lucifers

[sacred elm]

Yeah, I already don't want to use them LOL

They aren't going down when you press sides slowly

[chilly mural]

Do a sound test

[sacred elm]

How did they manage to make full POM switch this scratchy

[chilly mural]

I wanna make sure the other sound test doesn't bull shitting me

[sacred elm]

It's literally sticking

[chilly mural]

Do full!!!!

[sacred elm]

Sorry, even two is enough for me

Switches blow

[chilly mural]

At least do like tap tap

But stronger like you're typing

[calm pulsar]

yeah its like maxes

dual rail is trash

[sacred elm]

Time to send them back to China

Aint using these

Wobble isn't good either

[chilly mural]

Is it worse than lekker v1

[sacred elm]

I don't know about that but it's surely one of the worst switches I've tried

w/e

[chilly mural]

So it's worse than lekker v2 at least

This is what the community want. Kinda sad

[sacred elm]

LOL at least Lekker v2's are smooth when you press them on sides

This is full POM and it's still sticking

[limpid summit]

What’s best switch for cs2 ? Planning on getting 80he

[peak breach]

Raptor

[limpid summit]

The raptor is sold by wooting or need to get it elsewhere ?

[sacred elm]

It's only sold on official Geon store for now

If you are from the US, Raptor v2s will be available on Divinikey this week

[tawdry tree]

“👎” 😃👍

I really wonder what the prototypes were like tbh

[sacred elm]

If this is their best version...

[tropic urchin]

Time to not censor anymore

They really are orcshits

[sacred elm]

[tawdry tree]

new flux just dropped 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 https://chilkey.com/products/ws-flux-switch

[tawdry tree]

“Deep clacky”

[calm pulsar]

[tawdry tree]

yep

maybe good, surely?

[calm pulsar]

surely maybe

[tropic urchin]

Bink

Wtf is the difference lmao

[sacred elm]

Surely fixed magnet

[tawdry tree]

Advertised as different sound profile so surely it’s not just a recolor

[sacred elm]

Can't be worse than orch*d

[tropic urchin]

Had me at 50+-7 bottom out

🥀

Disgusting

[calm pulsar]

lmao there's the "deep"

[glossy pagoda]

All I have is $3 and I can't even get two switches for that >_>

[tropic urchin]

Tree fiddy is all you need

[calm pulsar]

its okay shafie can give you his free orcsh*ts

[tropic urchin]

What a good guy

Wobble not being good is unfort

[glacial wind]

A bit unfortunate that one guy used flux as the comparison switch in his raptor v2 test

[stark osprey]

I'm curious who tested the switches? Those Raptor v2 stem wobble results look crazy, especially for a non box stem.

[glacial wind]

Did not look good for the flux when raptor v2 was more stable in the test

[sacred elm]

Sno

[stark osprey]

Ah nice 👌

[glacial wind]

I posted some videos other day if you’re curious to search

[sacred elm]

Please, don't remind me that I have them

It makes me 🤮

[stark osprey]

Thanks will look them up. Are you on the Raptor v2s now for your own personal setup?

[glacial wind]

Yeah, for now. My tikkens arrive tomorrow though so will be testing them instead soon

[chilly mural]

Tikken vs Raptor

[tropic urchin]

Spoiler they won’t since they don’t have 45g spring

[tawdry tree]

More Spark recolors confirmed. 🫣

[sacred elm]

Tell them to discontinue orchids

[tropic urchin]

Do you have a key cap wobble test Shafie

I’m curious to see how it looks

[sacred elm]

I posted it

Orchid vs Flux

[tropic urchin]

You posted capless no?

[sacred elm]

no

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[tropic urchin]

Oh Jesus it’s so dark I didn’t see the caps

[stark osprey]

I'm just glad those Raptors are priced the way they are. If they really are as good as Sno finds them (not that I doubt him) those are gonna be GOAT.

[tropic urchin]

Oh those are ASS

[calm pulsar]

after getting orcshits shafie is on evil arc now, so it has to be dark in his room

[tropic urchin]

They’re spoiling the party for alot of switches rn

And have skibidi based 45g long springs

Orchids sound good but that’s it

I hate Gateron man

[stark osprey]

Yeah love the longsprings too. Good to know they're on there. Geon really bringing fire to the keeb game.

[tropic urchin]

We need HMX Jade pro 😭😭😭😭😭

[calm pulsar]

but thats just rapters

[tropic urchin]

He’s the realest

[tropic urchin]

They’re nice but they don’t sound like Jade pros I don’t think

[calm pulsar]

I think the materials are the same, so it should be close, but obv cleaner

[tropic urchin]

Can you say if we’re getting T45 Tikken option 👀

Blink for yes

Blink twice if you’re in danger

[sacred elm]

I thought we learned that these type of marginal speed improvements don’t really matter

None of us are Usain Bolt

Kbdfans guy says rn they’re planning to release only mx pcb

[earnest adder]

Yep

[chilly mural]

do they still support the board?

I am not sure

[trail bane]

So they could stars selling holy80 prebuilts

yes but for now only mechanical switches

[trail bane]

Like I said

I am just waiting for the tofu tkl

this was the pcb that tested well, but in 60% form
