[glacial wind]

Previous chair served a good life

[polar girder]

Nice

I have an old Mirra

Pretty solid

[glacial wind]

Yeah I’m loving it so far. Was mandatory purchase with the neck posture issues other chair was giving me

[tropic urchin]

That chair went through a lot of F5ing

Holy

[oak jewel]

holy WoW chair

[glacial wind]

The best part is the armrests that were so worn the plastic and padding tore off the entire arms

[tropic urchin]

Looks better than the plot to Dragonflight

[glacial wind]

It actually improved in looks over time because it only tore off in 1-2cm pieces

So it looked real bad month 1-2, but after that there was nothing left to tear off

[tidal frigate]

Why this Herman Miller?

Isint embody better?

[glacial wind]

Embody is better as overall usage if you don’t want to sit upright whole time, but aeron is better for task chair

you get forward tilt in aeron which is really nice for leaning forward to type/edit while keeping good posture

Embody doesn’t have that unfortunately

[lime yew]

This one is receiving quite some praise also https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/libernovo/libernovo-omni-worlds-first-dynamic-ergonomic-chair?

But limited warranty for many electrical and moving parts is not great

[glacial wind]

I was actually planning to try that one but turns out they don’t have Korea as a shipping option yet

[peak breach]

Mine take till the 11th supposedly

Foreeeever

But dhl usually gets here earlier than estimated

They better

I had to pay a lot for taxes

[ember osprey]

Dang, I don't think I should get the Raptors for a bit 😞

[fallen pecan]

the "foreign price" is almost double what they go for in china, 6.4k yuan vs 3799 yuan

[cyan lark]

Nice choice, Aeron is great. Been using it for a decade or so.

[fallen pecan]

specs of the atk x kailh switch

[glacial wind]

Decent magnet tolerance if true

[little glen]

i wanna nap so bad but dhl doesnt tell me when my package will arrive

so i have to just sit here waiting

[thorn zealot]

U can wait when divinikey stocks raptors in the us later this week

[little glen]

and some dickhead outside is working on his truck or something cause he keeps revving the engine, opening and closing a bunch of doors, then driving away only to come back around in a circle

so i cant even listen for the delivery car

[ember osprey]

Oooh I might just do that, I was gonna just order the Geon Raws but I might wait then

[ember osprey]

Should I just keep checking their site then for restock?

[tropic urchin]

Just buy from divinikey when they stock

[ember osprey]

Okay, I'll keep an eye out for when they get the Raptor V2s then

[tropic urchin]

Slated for sometime this week as per an email they sent out to Shafie

[little glen]

i got my stuff

[crimson sky]

man I wish I joined that GB back then

[little glen]

Also got my 80he travel case

[toxic surge]

when did u order?

[oak jewel]

2nd

[toxic surge]

u ordered from the geon website right? cuz i wanna get them as well and im also from germany

[oak jewel]

Yessir

[toxic surge]

aight

u have to let us know how they feel once u get ur hands on them

[fallen pecan]

@gaunt plume https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=963235960242 gateron orchid if you still need it

[little glen]

This thing is a beauty

Ignore my dusty ass desk

[peak breach]

Yeah i paid more tax than for the switches, and i dont live in the states

[toxic surge]

yeah would be the same for me

im just gonna wait until deltakey sells them

[toxic surge]

where u from?

[chilly mural]

Nice nice

[little glen]

I will take a nap and build it after

[jade storm]

Sick, pal.

[tropic urchin]

Idk why but cosmos on a silverish case activates a neuron for me, looks 👌🏼

Ik you have the grey but

GT80 peak 80HE case

[toxic surge]

i talked to deltakeys and they said raptors v2 are gonna be available at the end of this week and they are 4.20€ per 10

for everyone wondering in EU

[little glen]

It really is

Also just completely ignoring the intro s100 on the table

[glossy pagoda]

Full size best size 😄

[tropic urchin]

Lightsaber LED bar is my personal favorite other than ball catch

[thorn zealot]

Why is Winnie the Pooh homerun derby game so hard

[tropic urchin]

Bad aim

[thorn zealot]

Piglet is throwin like mach 2

And he’s the 3rd lvl

[little glen]

If my dad doesnt like it i can show it to you in person if there is ever a meetup in europe

[tropic urchin]

Piglet is telling you to upgrade from 30 hz

[thorn zealot]

My phone has higher hz than my sis MacBook 😭

[tropic urchin]

Fs cuz

[tropic urchin]

Going from my 2014 MacBook to my first PC I can confirm

[little glen]

I just realised i‘m gonna have to put so many stabs together for this board

[tropic urchin]

I was raiding on it in college at 5-15 fps in WoW

Couldn’t see any effects on the ground 🌹

[glacial wind]

Yeah gaming on a Mac isn’t great. Amazing workstations but the games aren’t all that optimized usually

[little glen]

Mmo players be like "my game is really hard" and you watch em do a bossfight and its just a guy going "ha ha ha", a red line appearing on the ground and 30 seconds later the line is engulfed in flames

[tropic urchin]

I grew up playing on a Mac in TBC onwards til I got out of HS/college and got my first rig in 2020 when the game went to shit

[little glen]

I guess if you have 5 fps that does end up being difficult tho

[tropic urchin]

Or there’s 35x different things going on at once bc of DBM and weak aura addons telling you what to do

[glacial wind]

When I started streaming I was streaming from a MacBook lol

[tropic urchin]

Based and blue pilled

[glacial wind]

And every boss fight fps would drop on stream

[tropic urchin]

And then bc you have DBM and weak auras the only way to have difficulty is 1 shot mechanics

Very fun

[little glen]

I dont think i could play mmos

[tropic urchin]

The time has passed imo

[little glen]

Most mmo like games i play still dont have like 16 player raids

[tropic urchin]

If you weren’t there in the mid 2000s to late 2010s it’s joever for them

Too late to get into them

Most of them suck or are hard to get into

Not worth the time investment or $

[little glen]

Yeah not really interested anyway

I got other games to play

[glacial wind]

mmo are only fun if you have the time to no life them

otherwise you don't get to do half the fun parts

i stay away from them anytime i don't have that time

[tropic urchin]

Even then if you just no life retail WoW there’s like no rewards to doing so anymore. Gear doesn’t look cool really, world building sucks, half the player base has ligma and are retarded or they’re sweaty PTR testers so they can get to 3k io on day 1 for M+

And their solution to simplifying the game is a 1 button rotation instead of removing DBM/WAs and removing mechanical rot over time from the game

[tidal frigate]

Korean mmos that are basicly second work?

[tropic urchin]

For a $15 monthly sub I don’t feel like I ever get it from the game anymore to justify giving blizzard my $

It used to be an MMORPG, then they lost the RPG of the game and it’s hardly massively multiplayer at this point

Moderate single player is a better description

[austere creek]

time to join ffxiv and become an RPer or Raider

[tropic urchin]

Raiding was pretty fun in FFXIV

Only thing is they cooked so hard in Shadowbringers and post EW the story just feels lame

Post MSQ Stormblood into Shadowbringers was such peak

[thorn zealot]

I gave up after 30 min cuz I got annoyed of piglet foldin my ass at the plate

And also the Mac was burnin my fingers

[tropic urchin]

That shit is SO ass

[low coral]

I used to like it quite a lot, I played when they had the sigma/omega and whatever stuff

I quit because I was just playing all day and wanted to do something different

[tropic urchin]

That and eventually you’ll run out of content quick if your groups are good enough and then it’s basically just ultimates to run

Since it’s like WoW LFR content release

And then once it’s out it’s out for like 9 months

[low coral]

Yes, plus the good groups are in the US, in the EU finding groups was shit 😅

I used to play for like 2-3 years in Balmung, then I moved to Europe and changed servers and nah, worst decision ever, probably also part of why I quit

[tropic urchin]

I quit sometime after the end of Pandaemonium since they closed the loop on everything and now I just can’t get back into w/e the current story is

Not the same 🥀

[low coral]

My favourite content I remember was the thing everyone hated, Heureka or something like that, the relics of stormblood I think

[tropic urchin]

Oh my

That was a grind

[low coral]

I did all areas when they came up and had all the expensive stuff and drops from bosses. I also liked the last raid a lot, the silver ball one xD

[thorn zealot]

Just like Winnie the Pooh at baseball

Guy can’t hit the ball for his life

Even if honey is on the line

[tropic urchin]

@thorn zealot part of me wants the MK4s just to not wait anymore

🥀

[cedar gate]

Is the raptor V2 better than the RAW

[tropic urchin]

Most current meta switches are but the new raptors are crushing current meta competition

[tropic urchin]

To give you an idea they’re even more stable than TTC POM from Sno’s stability test

[thorn zealot]

But what if ur top pros come right after u get mk4

[tropic urchin]

You know what you’re right

You’re absolutely right

With my luck it would

🥀

Almost 1 month with no updates

[thorn zealot]

I mean u can just give em to me

[cyan lark]

Damn you're still waiting on those buds?

[thorn zealot]

I wouldn’t mind

Il pay u $20/month

[cyan lark]

They should be paying you interest

[tropic urchin]

The TL;DR is that there’s a material
shortage

[tropic urchin]

Nobody would be in business with that business model 😂

[cyan lark]

uh

nvm, financial talk kills the buzz

(this is how dividends work)

it's why you don't usually pay in-full way in advance for something expernsive, just a down payment of some kind

[tropic urchin]

@cyan lark https://www.reddit.com/r/iems/s/XGUK8bFtKG

[cyan lark]

cause otherwise you're getting smoked with them holding onto your cash that whole time

[tropic urchin]

A similar problem happened with tea pros but top pros exceeded their sales by 2x in comparison

I don’t care if they’re holding onto it, the $ from any dividends we’re talking is negligible

[cyan lark]

unless if they actually had to pay out to their materials provider before delivery but i very much doubt that

[tropic urchin]

Just sucks it won’t ship yet

[cyan lark]

sure, i'm just

Not helping at all, as usual

[tropic urchin]

If they did that with everyone, there wouldn’t be any shops open

[cyan lark]

y tho?

[tropic urchin]

Or let me rephrase: they wouldn’t have it open for ordering 🤣

[cyan lark]

If I am holding onto 100 customers payments, and I put it in an interest bearing account while waiting on delivery for the materials, I gain from their loss.

[tropic urchin]

It’ll ship one of these days

[cyan lark]

or 10,000 customers. Adds up a lot for a company to accrue interest on payments they aren't fulfilliing, fairly lucrative scheme IMO

[tropic urchin]

For being the ONLY audio place even selling the top pros in today’s tariff environment (as a US vendor) they deserve whatever $20 my $500 nets them

[cyan lark]

Though IANAL and I forget what the laws are on how you can store money from customers - though I'd be surprised if it can't be in some secured interest bearing acct

[tropic urchin]

They also send you starbursts too with your order

No $20 means no starbursts

[cyan lark]

Starbursts might be worth it. I'm not a fruity candy enjoyer, but they're passable.

[tropic urchin]

Almost at the 4 week mark, seems the 6-8 week mark is what everyone else had to wait so maybe it’ll come soon.tm 😭

[thorn zealot]

Is this what silksong fans sound like

[tropic urchin]

They’re more rabid

[tropic urchin]

1 complainer vs millions of complainers

[thorn zealot]

Wanna get the new fiio fx17s

[tropic urchin]

I’d rather just get the Monarch MK4s for that sweet rumble mode

After FA19s idk if I want another Fiio IEM

[cyan lark]

The weird thing for me about Silksong fanatics is that Hollow Knight was good, not great.

🔥

[tulip rapids]

i know this is random but make halo good again

pweeease🌹

[cyan lark]

Halo was best in my dorm room with 2 Xboxes connected on the LAN, not sure that can be topped

[tulip rapids]

it cant

goat game for a goat era

split screen lookers were the worst

i called my friends split screen hookers xD

[cyan lark]

They still couldn’t beat me

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-teabag-gif-12948320

where boys became men

[cyan lark]

Except for the ones that could in which case yes cast them into the fires from whence they came

[tulip rapids]

till this day it drives me insane you have an ip like halo and you run that game into the ground

like how are they that incompetent

[cyan lark]

It does seem like it could have had its own niche and success

[tulip rapids]

theres rumours that the halo 1 remake on ue5 wont have mutliplayer....

[cyan lark]

But instead went down the CoD path

[tulip rapids]

naw they went down their own weird path because not even the cod games were that bad

the cod games did go downhill for a bit but man halo was way worst

[cyan lark]

I honestly wouldn’t know that well. I tried infinite for a week when it released, but otherwise haven’t really played a halo game much since 1

Wild how CoD has been around since I was the average age of people on this Discord. Back when it was a Medal of Honor competitor

I was sure it would peter out in the late oughts

[tulip rapids]

i recommend playing halo 2

and 3

[austere creek]

can we get back onto the channel topic. thanks

[tulip rapids]

wooting is an excellent option for playing halo on steam

[cyan lark]

As a palate cleanser, my daily driver

[tulip rapids]

you got the dual shot 2?

[cyan lark]

Yeah I broke down. Do enjoy it on the raw case color

Big chonky boi

[little glen]

the keycap set i bought for this didnt include the right bottom row so i had to use a gmk spacebar

looks pretty good tho i gotta say

[night atlas]

Yall seen this yet?? Lmfao

[little glen]

i put tactiles on this

they arent bad tbh

[night atlas]

I wish they sold the other half but it’s literally just this

More mouse space is always a selling point for me

[tropic urchin]

Now you can save extra polling for your 20% layout ☝️🤓

[chilly mural]

I wish to see wooting 2he refresh someday

It’s all you need

[calm pulsar]

[tulip rapids]

Arc sensei youre apart of this problem

a good problem though

[tropic urchin]

I’am not sure abt that

[tulip rapids]

another culprit reveals himself

[little glen]

What set and why is it dragon witch

[tropic urchin]

Jade dragon

I told him the purple tech as a part of my keycap “W or L” cop game

[tulip rapids]

@tropic urchin the alphas already sold out on deskhero holllyyy

[calm pulsar]

what gmk set we're talking though

[tulip rapids]

@calm pulsar DRAGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON... jade

🐉

[cyan lark]

Dragon ball

[calm pulsar]

[tulip rapids]

whats the point of this if i cant use it on discord DX

[tulip rapids]

[tulip rapids]

ye i got them

[tropic urchin]

I did warn you

[tulip rapids]

thats why i bought them from different site right away!

[tropic urchin]

I wasn’t trying to waste your $ but once they’re gone they’re giga gone

[tulip rapids]

yeah i see that now

[tropic urchin]

Just ask wizard about GMK dragon witch

[tulip rapids]

i was annoyed about that fact but i totally love the set

[tropic urchin]

I missed it too so lol

Win some you lose some 🥀

[tulip rapids]

money well spent

just dont tell my bank about it xD

[left cairn]

New day new luck.

Any1 got some recommendations for ISO DE keycaps? Shine through would be great but right now grateful for anything new i maybe couldnt find 🙂

[toxic surge]

so hyped for the raptor v2s

[tropic urchin]

Everyone’s saying it sounds like Jade pros and I’m losing it if that’s true 😭

If raptors are Jade pros with POM spring I’ll put the geon tag back on display 🥶

Actually you know what fuck it, I’m buying more than 90

Jade pros are going in the trash once it’s confirmed

[calm pulsar]

so rude of geon to steal my jade knights and call them rapters

[tropic urchin]

Lore accurate Gateron rubies

[harsh dove]

Tikkens Clear

[toxic surge]

I just donno what switches to get 😭

[tropic urchin]

Errrm be critical, we can’t be shilling switches we haven’t used yet ☝️🤓

[harsh dove]

lol neither does everyone else, that’s why we buy every single one

[toxic surge]

I’m waiting for the raptors and look at them myself

[calm pulsar]

guhuks betterest

[toxic surge]

Fr

[harsh dove]

You haven’t used them yet*

[steady halo]

[tropic urchin]

I probably won’t

[harsh dove]

Wow

How dare you

Get out

[tropic urchin]

My cries are unanswered Mr cam

[calm pulsar]

yeah people are like "im def buying raptor v2s" knowing damn well they're gonna be buying the next good switch

[tropic urchin]

Mark didn’t answer my T45 question

[calm pulsar]

but me im def buying raptor v2s tho

[harsh dove]

Yep lmao the cycle continues

[tropic urchin]

Depends on sound profile

[harsh dove]

That’s rude

[tropic urchin]

I don’t want no 55g bottom out ahh spring

[harsh dove]

Well if you know Wooting, you know they’ll have options

[tropic urchin]

I would get tikkens if T45 was real, but I have a feeling T45 is not happening

[toxic surge]

I’m actually really curious about the Everglide Sticky Rice V2 but I never heard someone used them so they are probably not that great

[calm pulsar]

you can just change the spring

[harsh dove]

This is also true

[tropic urchin]

That would also requiring loobing

[harsh dove]

LOOB

[tropic urchin]

I’m so over it bro 😭😭😭

[harsh dove]

Tbh I used geons pingless springs without lube and they were great imo

[toxic surge]

I mean yeah I’m gonna get them anyways lol

[calm pulsar]

yeah ngl im just installing raptors and that's it
I might bag lube the springs if they are dry

[harsh dove]

If they’re good springs they don’t need lube

[tropic urchin]

I much rather keep switches with stock springs as I feel like they’re always better

Every time I’ve spring swapped it’s never felt great with exception of pingless in short spring switches

[tropic urchin]

They usually feel like they’re designed to be that way

[toxic surge]

Are there any other good switches beside the owlab ti ones to get

[tropic urchin]

Depends if you want a boxstem

But raptors are proving there’s no point now

[calm pulsar]

I think if the switches have a similar design like jade pro and raptors, then swapping probably wont make anything much worse

but if the original designs are quite different like let's say if we compare poms and raptors, then it might mess up the sound and feel

if they are even compatible at all lol

[toxic surge]

Wym?

[harsh dove]

There never was a point, dual rail sucks

[tropic urchin]

They’re fucking up boxstem switches in stability tests

[tropic urchin]

Sure does

I’m not buying another Gateron switch that has a dual rail

[calm pulsar]

yeah I can't be bothered with a switch unless it's quadruple rail at least

[harsh dove]

Not that all box stems are dual rail but most of em seem to be

[toxic surge]

U won’t recommend getting them?

[harsh dove]

Octagon rails

[tropic urchin]

I mean you can get them, but they’re more expensive for a feature that’s obsolete

[calm pulsar]

sounds familiar

[harsh dove]

See what I did there

[toxic surge]

I mean they are like 26 euros for me plus 5 shipping I just don’t know which to get instead

[calm pulsar]

can't wait for octagon price too

[tropic urchin]

@toxic surge take TTC POM for example. They are the old stability kings, and were sought after for their max stability. Now Raptors are mogging POMs stability as an MX stem switch with no boxstem

[calm pulsar]

octagon dollars

[harsh dove]

Only Varedis and Shafie have to feel bad about Flux

They paid for them

[tropic urchin]

I actually enjoyed them for the 5-6 months I have had them

[sacred elm]

I think Varedis said that about box stem switches, not Raptors

[tropic urchin]

And you guys left me in the dark so I don’t want to hear it

[harsh dove]

You keep telling yourself that

Jk

[tropic urchin]

I was gone for 3 days and I miss the fluxies Google sheets

[tawdry tree]

They aren’t bad, just not worth it at all.

[toxic surge]

Oh I see

Mb

[tropic urchin]

I can get behind that

[calm pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/backyard-becky-karen-no-fun-stop-fun-i-see-you-gif-17304806

[sacred elm]

At least they feel very good

[harsh dove]

Yeah they don’t feel bad

[sacred elm]

That helps

[harsh dove]

I’m just messin with yall tho

[toxic surge]

@sacred elm u getting the raptors?

[sacred elm]

Yea

[tropic urchin]

I’m calling the po po

[harsh dove]

Poo poo?

[toxic surge]

U ordered them already?

[sacred elm]

Soon

[tropic urchin]

The weeeee ooooo weeee ppl

[calm pulsar]

don't swear in chat my mom checks my phone

[tropic urchin]

Mj moment

[toxic surge]

I’m thinking about getting them at the end of this week cuz that’s when deltakey sells them in Europe im not sure tho but i need new switches

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/lil-wayne-dance-car-vevo-gif-10454465812150008834

[harsh dove]

This reminded me of that song

[tawdry tree]

None of mine had a non-non-magnetic spring either

[harsh dove]

Weee ooo weee oooo weeee like a cop car

[tropic urchin]

The funny thing is I never felt any issues until I swapped to pp plate then it started to feel less fun

But I am also sick and tired of no 45g long spring switches that aren’t Pom

Get this fuckin mechanical 55g bs outta here

[tawdry tree]

Isn’t pp kinda a bad match with anything as clacky as Fluxies anyway?

[tropic urchin]

Well let me ask you this, what is a good match

[tawdry tree]

Alu, FR4, CF

[calm pulsar]

bad times create strong people
strong people use strong plates

[tawdry tree]

wisestest

[tropic urchin]

Alu can’t comment on 80HE (benom didn’t sound good with it), FR4 was good, but CF almost made it plasticky with how clacky it was

I figured softer plate with it would’ve been gud

It’s fine I’ll have FR4 raptors and live the good life

[tawdry tree]

I haven’t tried them on CF yet, I’ll try soonTM

[toxic surge]

@sacred elm I’m just gonna wait and see what other people say about the raptors

[tropic urchin]

They’re not bad but not the sound I wanted

[crimson copper]

Chat

[sacred elm]

Yeah wait, there should be more reviews by the next week

[crimson copper]

I got the tofu 60 redux and I’m installing the wooting into it

But the screw next to the space bar is not going in

The other 4 went in just fine but no matter how hard I tried, the 5 screw is not able to go into the hole correctly 💀

[calm pulsar]

you can go without it anyways

better sound

[crimson copper]

Hmm

The hole is just staring at me weird 🥴

It’s not covered by the key caps

[calm pulsar]

it might need a standoff to be installed, but I never used it personally

[calm pulsar]

uhh

[crimson copper]

Ohh interesting

[calm pulsar]

tbh a screw there wont really hide it

[toxic surge]

I also have the tofu redux so that’s weird

Did u screw in the little stand off that comes with it?

[crimson copper]

Nope

I didn’t think it was needed

[calm pulsar]

I also have a case similar to tofu redux but it has only 4 standoffs, so it is not absolutely required and some here will even say it would be better for the sound of the spacebar

[crimson copper]

Maybe the screw is not able to reach the hole in the case

[toxic surge]

Yeah

Just screw the standoff in and then you should be good to go

I have the same case got the standoff on there and everything is fine

[crimson copper]

Got it thanks

It’s a very solid case tho

[toxic surge]

Yeah it is

Especially for the price range

[crimson copper]

I was a bit weary of spending money on the case instead of some other desk accessory but it’s actually a pretty good buy

[toxic surge]

Yeah it’s way better then the abs case

[crimson copper]

Yep

[trail bane]

Gn

[charred cobalt]

I don’t see anything about the titan 60 case it looks rly nice

Like not even on yt and Reddit

It’s a bit expensive but it’s so nice

[polar girder]

It’s the bane of my existence

Half the reason I got new plate and mount

@charred cobalt Looks very similar to 60HE v2 case, maybe wait for it instead? Will be cheaper than Titan60

Been out for some time now in china, goes for around 70 usd, but most colors are sold out

[rare sierra]

hey guys anyone know if black cf plates or just darker colored plates noticeably make rgb less vibrant

im deciding on a plate and id assume a white one would be mcuh more reflective

and shows rgc much better

[tulip rapids]

60 v2 space bar be like

[tropic urchin]

darker colors for plate or switches are going to block more RGB and make it hella dark

[polar girder]

lol that layout is so triggering ngl

My brain is fried looking at that bottom row lol

[tulip rapids]

put wooting knob in the middle xD

[polar girder]

lol then bind knob to jump and spam bhop in CS

EZ

[crimson copper]

How would a new plate help you tho

[polar girder]

Not all plates have that useless hole

[crimson copper]

Idk how the pcb looks but I’m sure there’s only 5 holes in those exact location

[crimson copper]

Oh I see

Just not using the hole then

[polar girder]

Yeah I never have

In stock Wooting case or tofu redux and two diff PCB’s

[crimson copper]

I’m probably just going to put a little piece of white tape over it and call it a day

[polar girder]

Yeah fair

[crimson copper]

That screw went into the stock wooting case

I need to try that mount thing someone suggested, hopefully that works out

Also for some reason my key caps feel really wobbly

Like on the edges

[polar girder]

Stock lekkers?

[crimson copper]

Geon raw

[polar girder]

Is it stock or you change anything?

[crimson copper]

I changed the switches, case, keycaps

[polar girder]

You use silicone or foam pad in between plate and PCB?

[crimson copper]

Foam

I’m more so talking about the keycaps being propped up on one end when pressing on the opposite side

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m just concerned your switches aren’t fully seated or foam in the way

It can get in the way around the stabilizers

The mod keycaps

??

Might just need stem spacers

https://divinikey.com/products/geon-stem-spacer

Put on stem of switch for stabilizer keys

[crimson copper]

I’ll try that thank you

[polar girder]

Or could also just throw in the lekkers for those keys if you still have them

Either way

[spiral crater]

need some more switch recs, have the ice studio ur ultra, wondering what more switches people recommend, want to try out more things

[fluid ravine]

beat me to it lol

[sacred elm]

🐌

[fluid ravine]

alr bud

LMAO

[spiral crater]

does any1 know the sound of the raptor v2 and ti he vs the ice ultras? like how do they differ?

[sacred elm]

They are all clacky, just slight pitch difference

[spiral crater]

so correct me if im wrong but pitch wise, im assuming ice ultra is the lowest then raptors then owllab are the highest in pitch?

[spiral crater]

this is in reference to the raptor v2 right?

[fluid ravine]

yes

[sacred elm]

According to Sno, yes.

Ice Ultras have deep clacky sound profile

[spiral crater]

and there are no non-clacky HE switches right?

[fluid ravine]

sno stated that comparing to owlab, owlab is a bit sharper in pitch

titon

[sacred elm]

Not really. Tikkens will be deepest sounding probably, because of 4mm

[calm pulsar]

would love a rapter with pc bottom

[sacred elm]

raport

[calm pulsar]

relasets

[fluid ravine]

still need another switch with fiberglass :_)

HMX pless

[spiral crater]

but currently on market, none rn right?

[sacred elm]

Nope, probably deepest sounding switches are Phylina Lightning and Ice Ultra

[spiral crater]

ahhh and inherently due to design limitations thus far, they will all be sorta clacky?

[sacred elm]

Yeah, because of short travel and closed bottom

[fluid ravine]

shafie

titon still using the typical HE switch material lineup?

pc pom nylon?

[sacred elm]

No clue

[calm pulsar]

watch Thockson cook shafie for misinformation

wait arent there open bottom he switches?

[tropic urchin]

errmm no shillin mod boi

[fluid ravine]

yes there are

all are old designs though

back in the early stages of HE switches

[tropic urchin]

I might swap back to FR4 PP is brutal on 42.5g owlabs

[sacred elm]

embrace clack

[calm pulsar]

current HE will probably never be "deep" sounding cause of the huge magnet hitting the bottom and pcb, it will always be loud unless you have an open bottom switch, and open bottoms arent specifically "deep", just empty lol

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

45g spring dream

[sacred elm]

but what about vintage lekker v1s

[tropic urchin]

havent had that levels of bounce since POMs

[sacred elm]

they have soul

[fluid ravine]

ooo remember those MX switches where you can change the material of the bottom out stem pole

with like certain shape and material

[spiral crater]

also the everglide sticky rice v2, since they are 5 pin, do i have to shave off 2 of the pins?

[fluid ravine]

i should try STM Lekker v1 in my venom 😂

[calm pulsar]

if I were geon I would wire the pcb to fry its cpu if it detects lekker v1s

[fluid ravine]

LMFAOOOO

[fluid ravine]

sticky rice v2 dont got 5 pins like mx

[calm pulsar]

5 pin sounds like it wouldnt be compatible at all, are you possibly looking at an MX switch?

[fluid ravine]

they have clips with the two legs for plateless builds

but it dont got 5 pins

[spiral crater]

wait is this just wrong then?

[fluid ravine]

yeah very 😂

[calm pulsar]

how does the switch look

maybe they just put 5 pin by accident in the specs

after their 92 hr live stream that never aired officially, idk what they mean by deep clacky

[tulip rapids]

its like that tik tok trend where people scream into a pot and close the lid and if you open it you can hear the screams

feels like the audio is processed af

for that thonk to fool tiktok kids

also plastic tofu redux

not my bag of fries

[tropic urchin]

Sounds like owlabs on pp plate

[glacial wind]

it's not a great sign when you can hear the thunking sound of each keypress like that

[calm pulsar]

I bet I could make jade airs sound soft clacky in og frog, but with them being dual rail nah

[glacial wind]

means the video has a lot of proximity effect in play changing the sound

[calm pulsar]

yeah it stands out so much so you just know there is something with the audio

[uneven cradle]

What was that flux Livestream about

[calm pulsar]

@tawdry tree new franken idea
use astrolink top on rapters to remove red color

though it would probably defeat the purpose of improved molds on raptors lol

[uneven cradle]

Saw the email but didn't want to click any links from wuque

[calm pulsar]

$2 to click a link

[uneven cradle]

They definitely have some interesting marketing strategies

[tropic urchin]

They wanted to test the flux’s flux numbers for 92 hrs straight but stream was delisted after 48 mins and the livestream ‘vod’ is there to see supposedly

[sacred elm]

Only Varedis can save them, you need to apply for marketing job @tropic urchin

[rare sierra]

hello guys

is this switch/keycap puller good

lmk

[fallen pecan]

yes for me, but it couldn't remove geon raws

[marsh saffron]

Raws are hard asf to remove tho

So probably fine for everything else

[tawdry tree]

Not worth.

Scratched plates

[marsh saffron]

Unfortunate

[tawdry tree]

and mid keycap puller too, it’s alright but not worth imo

Thanks

[untold wigeon]

any good current mech switch?

i'm bored using type r

[tall hollow]

[untold wigeon]

i was planning to try hmx since a lot of people praise their switches

but i was looking for something weird but exciting

[tall hollow]

they're pretty decent!

[untold wigeon]

need to change the switches on my venom mx

[untold wigeon]

are there anything else that's weird but fun?

[tall hollow]

Haimu also makes nice switches

like the capybara switches

[untold wigeon]

woah, i need to check on those

thanks for the suggestion

[turbid condor]

which bottom out force is better for gaming? (owlab ti he) 40g/50g

[sacred elm]

Preference. Get 10pc 40g and the rest 50g

40g might be nice on WASD

[turbid condor]

thanks, much appreciated

[tawdry tree]

TL;DR:
Overly expensive keycap puller (and switch opener).

Keycap puller: The one- and two-wide ones work perfectly, the three-wide one not so much. It slips so you’ll often end up only pulling one keycap instead of three.

Switch puller: it’s just like their CNC-puller, it’s fine but nothing special.

Switch opener: The MX opener works great but the winglatch opener not so much. The angle is too aggressive so it requires way too much force to get them open.

PCB measuring: W/e, it’s not hard to tell by eye and if you need accuracy you can use calipers.

Pole measuring: Doesn’t apply to most magnetic switches (it’s not that useful for mech switches either).

[queen otter]

i want that

[tawdry tree]

GOATs (they can all still be improved).

[queen otter]

just because it looks very cool

[tawdry tree]

It’s solid af too

[queen otter]

[glacial wind]

is yours a 1.1 or 1.0?

[tawdry tree]

The difference between 1.0 and 1.1 is the plastic pieces. I used the 1.1 plastic pieces here but have the 1.0s as well.

Lemme check those rn actually

[glacial wind]

good thing i only intend to use mine for pulling keycaps

[tawdry tree]

Yeah same

it does it perfectly as long as you don’t use the three-wide one.

and it might be a tad bit annoying if you have to remove single keycaps

like ESC on a TKL for example

swapping those pieces out isn’t hard but it’s a bit tedious.

[fluid ravine]

@tawdry tree question, forgot about smth but between the duhuk and raw stem, does either one of them have like a protruding magnet coming out of the stem pole?

[thorn zealot]

Just get mx2as and call it a day

That’s what everyone would say

[calm pulsar]

hmx

[tawdry tree]

Duhuks, Raw HE’s one is flush iirc

Quite a bit more flex on the 1.0s.

[fluid ravine]

ah alr thanks

[tawdry tree]

np dear

[tulip rapids]

what switch puller is that

goats?

[tawdry tree]

TX

[tulip rapids]

i need to get one

my spacebar acting up and needs some lube

and probably lube my geons while im at it

[tawdry tree]

Another GOAT, but this can also be improved. The smell coming off ts is strong af and it’s overlubed (yes the fucking stem picker is lubed).

[tulip rapids]

what switch puller do you recommend since you said that one is expensive

i be using the wooting default one and its feels like im using my teeth to pull those switches out

[tawdry tree]

You can get any that are similar to this green one.

They’ll work just fine and are like $3 or so.

[tulip rapids]

the green one is TX as well?

aligner looking clean with that pouch

[tawdry tree]

The “button(?)” stays oily af, every time you press it, more oil comes up lol. I might kick it off my goat list just for that. 😭

[tawdry tree]

nah, it’s a generic one off of Taobao

[tawdry tree]

it’s cute af icl 😂😂

[tulip rapids]

i fucks with this one

silver long boy

[tawdry tree]

Kiwi for scale.

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, it’s my favorite tool, for this reason:

[calm pulsar]

so tiny

[tulip rapids]

where did you get that one from?

[tawdry tree]

Hmm, got it from DeltaKey I think. It was long ago so not sure entirely.

Many places stock then but they’re like $10 excluding the shipping cost.

[calm pulsar]

I still don't get the switch pusher
like you just loosely quickly place switches and then push them in?

[tawdry tree]

Yeah. With Hejin and Gateron switches, they’re really snug in there, so they won’t fall out.

Then you just push them in place to not hurt your fingers as much.. 👉👈

[calm pulsar]

thank dear

[tawdry tree]

ok friend

[calm pulsar]

I just got friendzoned

this little kit is not available on aliexpress it seems, only separate

might grab the updated puller

oh wait it is the old version

[tawdry tree]

Yeah that’s the 1.0

1.1 is with the grey pieces

[calm pulsar]

maybe I'll get it from korean store if I end up ordering

thinking of ramune60👀

[harsh dove]

Cleaned the PC today; Before and After

[sacred elm]

nice puller. dear friend

have a nice day, dear

[spiral crater]

hey guys just a quick sanity check, i used 100% ipa to wipe off fingerprint smudges on my wooting pcb but now the cleaned areas, the color is different (lighter) compared to the rest of the pcb. this is just purely cosmetic right?

[sacred elm]

Take a picture

[tawdry tree]

If it’s more matte than it was before, the coating is probably gone from those places.

[harsh dove]

I'd recommend using 70%, not 100%

[tawdry tree]

So it wouldn’t be just cosmetic but nothing bad.

[spiral crater]

yea its more matte and like a bit lighter. sorry could i ask what coating?

[sacred elm]

It's probably water resistant coating

[harsh dove]

There is a water resistant coating on the pcbs

[tawdry tree]

Like a water resistant coating that’s over the whole PCBA.

[spiral crater]

unfortunately already screwed all back up

ohhhhh i thought that was on the 60he only?

[sacred elm]

No

[harsh dove]

No

[tawdry tree]

All Woot’s boards afaik

[spiral crater]

ohhhh so just that? that was wiped off? since its a bit lighter and less glossy

[tawdry tree]

Yep

[sacred elm]

That's how it's supposed to look

Water resistant coating

[spiral crater]

okok thank youuuu, thank god, not the best but not end of the world so i cant complain, ill js dilute my ipa w water

[harsh dove]

and try not to spill anything on your pcb

[spiral crater]

that too 🙃

[little glen]

Is there somewhere i can just get the 1.1 plastic pieces

[calm pulsar]

ok work is done, and bf6 beta starts soon

[calm pulsar]

or get the gateron's spill resistant pcb

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, TX sells them on Taobao and AliExpress too iirc.

[little glen]

Also that little case to put all your tools in is rlly nice

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, they sell that too

[little glen]

I have the geon stem picker but it kinda sucks 😭

[tawdry tree]

it’s meant for just the multi-tool but you can take the foam out.

[tawdry tree]

same

useless for walled stems

[little glen]

It can barely hold a stem and it squeaks so much

[tawdry tree]

That too haha

[little glen]

Better as a fidget toy than a picker

[tawdry tree]

TX one doesn’t make a sound but it’s overlubed

It’s nice still tho

it works well

😃👍

[little glen]

Does it actually hold the stems well

[tawdry tree]

Yeah

It’s in the shape of the stem

geon’s is just round on the inside

[thorn zealot]

The geon one is not that bad

It is squeaky tho

[tawdry tree]

It isn’t, just doesn’t work with walled stems

[little glen]

Mine barely functions

Maybe i got unlucky and got a defective product

[thorn zealot]

Thankfully all the switches I’ve used are normal mx

[little glen]

Like it can hold up a stem very weakly and you do anything to it, itll fall down

[thorn zealot]

I just shove the stem into the hole and it grips hard

Pause

[tawdry tree]

Mine grips hard as well

pause too

[little glen]

https://www.twitch.tv/camofflife/clip/YummyStrangeLeopardKAPOW-q97PUb12krGd6W3_

Wlmouse users you happy with your mouse?

[glacial wind]

Eh it’s okay. Not the best software but does fine

[peak breach]

Beast x pro or max

They dont change much tbh

[glacial wind]

mine is a mini

They’re just super slow with software and put out the bare minimum, so you’re paying more for shape than actually cs and software

[lime yew]

had regular and mini. But you really need to want a mini because it is tiny 😛

[peak breach]

I dont want a mini

[lime yew]

quality of the mouse itself is pretty good. But yeah need to be happy wiht what you get on release. I got the first one and it was outdated pretty soon with their newer releases

Battery was not great at all

[peak breach]

My ulx medium or classic as they call it now is almost to small

[glacial wind]

i want to try a gwolves asym eventually when i have time to actually play some games again

that fenrir asym with the wide body makes me wonder if it's one of the best fingertips right now

[lime yew]

The ULX medium feels exactly the same as regular wlmouse sizing wise in hand

[tropic urchin]

Ulx medium and Beastx is pretty much same size

Classic is viper sized

[tropic urchin]

For bigger hands if you want a good esports mouse you basically have to be happy with the Viper V3 shape (Ulx Classic, Beastx max, VV3, Maya X etc)

Or just get a DAV4 but haven’t had a lot of fun in comp FPS with ergo since it just feels like a brick

[peak breach]

I’ll just get another ulx then

[narrow crypt]

you guys made me want raptor v2s now... gosh these owlab are nearly brand new hahahah

maybe a stupid quesiton: do o-rings mess with accuracy?

[tropic urchin]

Switch orings would, oring mount no

[tropic urchin]

Luckily they’re pretty cheap so you could plug and play which you feel like and then swap when you get bored

I want that 45g long spring

[glacial wind]

technically yes, but minimal

wooting has compensation built in to try calculate for oring introducing inaccuracy

[little glen]

Maybe i‘ll buy some raptor v2s when they get to deltakeyco

[narrow crypt]

yup same, hope deltakeyco sells them

If it’s as tactile as their silent switch is silent, it’ll be just a Spark recolor. 💀

[tawdry tree]

Tactile is pretty much linear before and after the bump, so you can use the tactile bump as a first bottom out for DKS for example.

I don’t think many will like it but some will for sure.

I’m scared to click

[sacred elm]

Click

[tropic urchin]

Oh so they’re not lying?

First time for everything I suppose

[sacred elm]

It's deeper yeah, not sure what they did

[tropic urchin]

They’re going to have to give me influencer free sample to review before they get Varedis certified

Just for buying OG fluxies I should have a shrine in their office for being dumb enough to try them

JS

No other person liked them as much as I did from the start to raptor launch so if I don’t get shit, then fuck em

Quite funny they are the orch*ds we were promised

[sacred elm]

Censor please

[safe stag]

hey shafie, do you like orchids you got from gateron after the survey

[sacred elm]

No

They are horrible

[forest hare]

any worthwhile Aliexpress stabs to replace the default ones on the 60he+ lads? something uneeding of lubing

[safe stag]

because of what ?

[sacred elm]

Friction

Sound

Only good thing about it is spring

When you press sides slowly, it's sticking just like Jade Max

No idea how they made full POM switch this scratchy. Classic Gateron 👍

[safe stag]

I see what you mean because I have jades max, they are bad but no as bad as maxes

[safe stag]

dual shit rail ig

[sacred elm]

Yeah

[tropic urchin]

Probably not worth it given raptors are around the corner @safe stag

[sacred elm]

I mean it's usable but I hate it, I sometimes press side of the keycap and when I feel friction, it pisses me off

[safe stag]

I wanted to buy geon spacers for my stabs, but the shipping was 25€ for 3€ cargo, so I also bought raptors v2

[tropic urchin]

People who have them say they remind them of the Jade Pros but they’ll have TTC POM like spring and better tolerances so I’m hype for it

When will Gateron learn man 😭😭😭

[safe stag]

I'll handlube 3-4 of them so see if they can be better

[safe stag]

I have og jades and poms, I'll compare them

[sacred elm]

All Gateron switches have this friction when you press sides slowly

I think their molds blow

[safe stag]

not og jades handlubed

that's why they are still in my 2nd keyboard

just smoothness

[sacred elm]

My regular Jades and Jade Pros had friction but not as bad as orchids/maxes

[safe stag]

I didn't tried jades pros because I was scared about the smoothness being lost (also because expensive af for just a little upgrade)

[tropic urchin]

Someone needs to curse at Gateron in mandarin at this point and tell them to stop using this fucking dual rail trash

They should’ve ceased and desisted after Jade maxes

They’re not maxing anything besides taking 3rd place in every new switch launch

[safe stag]

hahaha

[tropic urchin]

It’s really unfortunate bc orch*ds look nice aesthetically

[safe stag]

really easy to open like ttc pom

nice improvement from jades max

imagine making a terrible switch, and then making it so fxxking hard to open that handlubing isn't worth your time : that is jades max, by scammeron

7th iteration and still trash 👍

[safe stag]

while ttc

[tropic urchin]

Ngl Wooting should get the capital and buy out Gateron so then maybe they can challenge the switch market too ☝️🤓

[safe stag]

I want a kbdfan roller he

[tropic urchin]

Gateron is big cooked

@tawdry tree I understand your hate now. I really do. These cats can’t do anything right.

[ionic breach]

[sacred elm]
