[tropic urchin]

Should’ve told them to hit Grindr if that’s what they’re into

[stray tiger]

I think the amount of people asking about bandaid mods and clipping stab legs was the driving factor for me making the FAQ lol.

[glacial wind]

oh god i forgot about people trying to clip their stabs

the arrow area is kinda unique I think

or maybe it's how it always is on 80he cases lol

i was about to say

[tawdry tree]

it catches all the balls like the gt-80 too

[wicked fable]

Hey guys it’s fine to remove switches without unscrewing the plate and pcb right?

Or is the risk of damage really high?

[thorn zealot]

It’s fine but imo it’s much easier to remove switches by taking it all apart

[wicked fable]

Okay thanks

[wicked fable]

A few of my owlab ti he switches almost feel like there is some plastic on plastic rubbing?

Is this normal??

[tulip rapids]

50/50 risk

[sacred elm]

Probably because of inconsistent factory lube

[tulip rapids]

forgive me for this dumb question but how long does fresh lube last on a switch for

(if someone was going to hand lube it)

[fallen pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/markiplier-glue-drinking-glue-gif-12076091

[sacred elm]

Probably years, not sure.

[tulip rapids]

longer than the jade emperor reign?

[sacred elm]

[glacial wind]

It has arrived.

[sacred elm]

[chilly mural]

Yay

[glacial wind]

initial impressions they're pretty much as expected on feel. They're like 4mm owlab ti he but sound is definitely much deeeper than ti he

like it's not even close how much different they sound

i'll do another bigger test in a bit but just to give an idea

[steady halo]

how's the wobble?

is it similar to raptors or the same as owlab ti?

[sacred elm]

Oo

[glacial wind]

initial wobble feels about owlab ti he level, but i haven't tested them much yet

[sacred elm]

That's great, if the wobble is as good as Ti

[glacial wind]

it's funny i forgot how clacky and loud ti he are

since i've been on raptors for a week now

[tawdry tree]

Tihuk realest

[lilac island]

is that the tikken switch ?

[glacial wind]

one thing i noticed immediately trying out the v2 that wasn't mentioned on the page is the tapemod was improved to be normal tapemod tape style instead of plastic

[sacred elm]

Yes

[glacial wind]

so instead of plasticky it feels like tapemod tape now

[lilac island]

nice i like what i hear !!!

[sacred elm]

Yeah, Calder said on reveal stream that v2 will come with painters tape

[oak jewel]

Yessir

[steady halo]

does the tape mod have holes for normal tray mount?

[glacial wind]

i also forgot just how pleasant raw he sound overall

it's been awhile since i used raw he

[little glen]

Raw he v2 would be great

[harsh dove]

Yeah I like the improved tape mod

[harsh dove]

Lol yeah, I somewhat suppressed mine with PP plate and bottom case foam

[glacial wind]

yeah raw he honestly competes with owlab ti he and other of that gen wobble wise, just it had some minor stuff like the friction

still a real nice switch overall with that sound tone

[narrow crypt]

tikken vs raptors v2 vs raw sound comparison 🙏 pretty pleaaaaaase

[left cairn]

Is the ego80 a new case? Where csn i order it?

[sacred elm]

Taobao

[left cairn]

Is there any video footage of it?

[tawdry tree]

The listing has a video

The couple reviews only had pictures though

[glacial wind]

oh the quickie sound test i recorded is too big file to post without nitro lol

[steady halo]

u're not using nitro?

finally i have a buddy

[cyan lark]

Have woot pay for that my dude

[glacial wind]

Sound test of Tikken vs. various switches (owlab ti he, phylina thunderflash, raptor v2, unionwell polar pro+, ttc kom pom x wooting, geon raw he) + borrow row 3 key samples of all tikkens at end

Keyboard used: 60he v2, fr4 plate, foam bottom insert

Very rough wobble comparison

god the polar pro+ sound so bad every time i watch a comparison lol

[steady halo]

raptors still have the best wobble

[glacial wind]

yeah raptor v2 are still the best wobble for mx

tikkens feel roughly around owlab ti he level wobble wise

[steady halo]

quite similar

[sacred elm]

Raptor 👑

[glacial wind]

i think physical wobble wise it's polar pro (only at bottom, top of worse of all options) > raptor v2/phylina/ttc pom > other mx stems (owlab, tikken, raw he)

[sacred elm]

Raptor top wobble is impressive

[glacial wind]

sound wise for me it's roughly tikken > owlab ti he (i like loud clack) > raw he > raptor v2 > phylina > ttc kom pom (unlubed) > polar pro+

but i think sound is going to be very preference as I honestly don't hear any chatter issues with any of those mx stems

[narrow crypt]

how would you range them from quietest to loudest ?

[glacial wind]

well you can watch video above, there's sound test there

that's fairly close to real life sound of them - it's recorded on stereo condenser mic isolated off table

ti he, ttc pom kom are definitely the loudest by far

if you want quieter but not silenced i think tikkens win there, but you can judge for yourself

there's polar pro+ which are very muted but the sound clarity is awful lol

[narrow crypt]

yup thanks, I'm also surpised but how nice the raws sound

[little glen]

Where are rawhuks in here

[glacial wind]

raws have always sounded nice honestly, just people ditched them because some people had slight friction issues, but they still sound really nice in isolated 60% friction mount

[little glen]

(I love my rawhukies)

[glossy pagoda]

Rawkukies sounds like something you'd pick up in the bayou

Heh Freudian slip.. *Rawhukies

[glacial wind]

for those curious, I did have a chat to some of our product folks regarding physical stability options for future and basically we do have options to go even more stable, but it's starting to come at the cost of potential long term friction issues and also sound quality

so there's some give and take where this is where we ended up with tikkens where the sound quality is real nice

[tawdry tree]

Tithukies clear

[glossy pagoda]

OGs will remember that the original Lekker switches were called Lekker because they felt lekker; prioritizing smoothness over stability

[tawdry tree]

or Titraws

or Titlightnings 👀

[harsh dove]

Yeah that's what I've mentioned before, you can only get so tight before you run into issues

[glacial wind]

i do think tone wise these tikkens will hit the sweet spot for a lot of folks

[harsh dove]

Yeah I think so too

[glacial wind]

they're less loud clacky while still being very clean sound

[harsh dove]

Esp non-clack enjoyers unlike us

Clack Supremacy

[tawdry tree]

The stem is the important part

Sound profile is changable 😼

[glacial wind]

honestly i'm more concerned about top chatter sounds than pure stability with my mx stems

[lilac island]

now the qustion for me is do i gte the jades now or wait for tikken

[harsh dove]

Just wait

[glacial wind]

as long as they don't have chatter i'm good on stability. Then i'll use whatever super stable box stem style switch is for my stable gaming board

[tawdry tree]

I just realized, titons will be the first short pole switches right? Or just magnetic switches (not sure if something like it exists in mech).

[harsh dove]

Yeah that's where I am with it, as long as no chatter then I don't get to focused on stability

[tawdry tree]

There doesn’t seem to be anything like it in mech, so it’ll be the first.

[sacred elm]

Jades aren't worth it anymore.

[glacial wind]

i will say i really like the tx keycap remover

it's super stable and strong

[narrow crypt]

your sound test is messing with my head, I want swap my ti for how loud and clacky they're , but now I don't know, raptors seem to sound fine, raws too, tikken weird... it's like wine tasting , at some point you can't make the difference nay more

[lilac island]

ok so you sugest wait for tikken switches?

[glacial wind]

although it's worthless/never used for the other functions

so it's a very expensive but nice keycap remover lol

[sacred elm]

Either wait for Tikkens or get Raptor v2/Owlab Ti now

[lilac island]

ok i will watch some reviews on them, i will probs be pre ordering the 60hev2 anyways once it becomes available but in the mean time i just want new switches for my 60he, cheers for suggestions

[tawdry tree]

I use MX switch opener too, it’s pretty compact just for that. Tried any other keycap puller sizes?

[glacial wind]

i think after playing with it today my pick will be 60he v2 friction fit into the optimum case for the main switch comparison tests when i compare them officially

[glacial wind]

honestly i just like the 1u because i hate removing and attaching different bits just to remove esc key

[tawdry tree]

I use a second tiny puller for that 😂

saves time

[glacial wind]

also one thing I found bad with split stems today when testing stuff

they sometimes crunch a little bit if you wiggle them hard at wobble out

[tawdry tree]

(I use it like once a month so doesn’t hinder me much anyway)

[glacial wind]

you won't notice unless you actually do it, but when i was testing wobble i found a few crunchy split stems lol

[tawdry tree]

Haven’t noticed that yet

I like the Raeshas the most though

[glacial wind]

i think it's the plastic split part crunching if you happen to press it at a specific angle at the bottom out

[sacred elm]

Will you record some sound tests today?

[tawdry tree]

both sound profile and how clean they sound

[glacial wind]

not today since it's already after work time and I got to hit the gym before rush hour starts, but I'm waiting for a few switches to arrive too then i can batch record all at once

both gateron and ttc sent me big care packages of switches so I'm waiting for those to arrive

[sacred elm]

Alright, waiting for that Optimum + v2 + Raptor sound test

That's what I plan to use

[tropic urchin]

I will say for current sound I’m between Raptor and tikken, both sound nice tbh

[steady halo]

that means 60he v2 module?

[sacred elm]

Yes.

[glacial wind]

i'll post some photos later but it'll be v2 + optimum + the playstation 1994 keycaps

[golden meteor]

isnt phylina thunderflash pro (pink stem ones) supposed to be newer, improved one with longer spring? why not include that in the test instead?

[stable lagoon]

I got sticky stabs. Everytime i open the keyboard, I take a cloth and try off the small rubber resting pads located on the PCB, that the stabs are resting on, close it up and then 30 mins later the stabs get sticky again. What am I doing wrong does anyone know?
I dont think I overlubed…

80HE Ghost

[glacial wind]

it's the exact same thing but with different spring

[sacred elm]

Which keyboard?

[glacial wind]

wouldn't have any change in sound using pro or not pro

[golden meteor]

aight, thought it had something else changed mb

[stable lagoon]

80HE plastic Ghost

[sacred elm]

That happens because of sticky stabilizer pads, you need to remove them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBwhRDOVgJk

[stable lagoon]

Okay thanks

[tranquil lake]

that looks good, especially sound wise

but this bottom wobble

isnt bigger than any of the others?

[glacial wind]

bottom wobble between owlab ti he, tikkens, raw he all roughly similar

if bottom wobble is a focus i'd still probably use one of the split stems

my sparks are on the way but haven't arrived otherwise i'd include them here, but I expect them to be very similar to polar pro+ as far as stability goes

[tranquil lake]

i bought raptors few days ago and i will just wait for tikkens (sound wise)

[tropic urchin]

Do you have any tx long springs by any chance

[glacial wind]

i do yeah

[tropic urchin]

Can you swap with a tikken to see if it works fully

[glacial wind]

yeah i can have a quick look, although the tikken springs are already long

[tropic urchin]

It’s for my T45 dreams in case Wooting forsakes me

https://tenor.com/view/misery-gif-3049766362990208437

50g long spring already felt like mud sometimes, not going to use 55g realistically

[glacial wind]

yeah it fits fine

[tropic urchin]

Ty Snosan

[glacial wind]

no issues fitting at all. Although wootings spring is actually longer lol

tx is 20mm, wootings is like 21mm or so

[tropic urchin]

My raptors arrive in 7 hrs, won’t be able to use til like 10 hr mark 🥀

[glacial wind]

i think right now i'll run raptors in my 80he and tikkens in my 60he v2 to compare the two

[tropic urchin]

Actually wait a second

Sno can you scavenge a TTC POM spring?

Maybe that’s the play

Put Pom spring in tikken

[glacial wind]

it should fit fine too but lemme check

[tropic urchin]

Okay W

[glacial wind]

also sidenote: ttc still wins in best switch opening/closing experience

the nice 'click' where it feels like it's supposed to click open is so much better than any other manu

[sacred elm]

Different diameter

[harsh dove]

Yeah I like them for that

[tropic urchin]

Waiting on confirmation

This dopamine aboutta hit like crack

[glacial wind]

oh rip doesn't fit

just barely too small

also what is the deal with raptor v2 and not fitting easily into switch openers

[peak breach]

They are just to big

[tropic urchin]

NOOOOOOOOO

my dreams

https://tenor.com/view/dumbfounded-shocked-im-shattered-gif-22235755

[peak breach]

Just get waptows buddy

[sacred elm]

If Raptor springs aren't good enough, I'll swap them with Woot POM springs

^ Potential jumpscare @tropic urchin

[peak breach]

Can you make a franken switch between a tikken and a raptor?

[sacred elm]

No

[tropic urchin]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[tawdry tree]

KoMs are more like winglatch than MX, that’s why it works great

(gat and hejin should learn from that)

[peak breach]

I know i was just referencing the meme

[tawdry tree]

Raptor V1

[tropic urchin]

The only jumpscare is tikken with default spring

[sacred elm]

Same thing tbh, WootPOM is like 45/55 I think

[tropic urchin]

God has forsaken the chat

[sacred elm]

I like them shush

[peak breach]

So it’s not possible to make a tikken raptor v2 frankenswitch?

[tawdry tree]

Different manu

[glacial wind]

they're different manu so it shouldn't be

[tropic urchin]

It would be funny to pay homage to the OG

[tawdry tree]

different sizes

[tropic urchin]

Missed meme opportunity

[tawdry tree]

You should focus on Titons X Raw HEs or Titons X Duhuks

that’s where the money is

😼

[glacial wind]

hrm to test out these knight v4 in the v2 or not

[sacred elm]

Maybe keep v2 stock

[glacial wind]

definitely a couple stabs i want to relube

btw does anything know any other full travel switches that aren't the old open bottoms?

the only ones i can find are the drunkdeer split stems besides tikkens

i was thinking of adding a 'full travel' category to the switch image, but it's only 2 switches i know of that meet that criteria outside of the old old v1 stuff

[tropic urchin]

Well hopefully we get tikken pro and tikken titon to add ☝️🤓

[tawdry tree]

Most of Co-Gains stuff too iirc

[glacial wind]

man it's so hard to find switches i'd want to add to that category lol

i need 3 switches to make the chart fit with the rest but i only want to recommend 2 lol

[chilly mural]

Raptor v1

[glacial wind]

someone needs to time out this man

[tawdry tree]

“old open bottom” 😭

literally hejin’s first switch 😂

[glossy pagoda]

Knew a girl like that once

[tropic urchin]

I’m on it.. @thockfather how’s the wobble

[tawdry tree]

they’re pretty decent, just hard to get outside of china

and kinda annoying to pull

sideways

🥴

being different just to be different

[humble surge]

this looks interesting, what type of switch is this?

[tawdry tree]

they got them in a unique colorway too! 🔥

[tawdry tree]

magnetic switch

full travel, closed bottom

not that much interesting about them tbh

[humble surge]

does that mean linear or?

[tawdry tree]

yep

[humble surge]

okay

ty

[tawdry tree]

100 cost $7 btw

[humble surge]

what would be their english name? might worth a look on TaoBao and some blind testing

Thank you again :)

[tawdry tree]

so similar yet so different from KoMs

[tawdry tree]

yw!

[steady halo]

indeed

[tawdry tree]

This one isn’t compatible with Woot’s boards by the way, just so you know.

[sacred elm]

Are they made with toilet paper or what

[humble surge]

Ohh like nothing from this manufacturer?

[tawdry tree]

They’re fairly priced.

[tawdry tree]

All others are, just this specific one with an open bottom

[humble surge]

ohh i see what you mean, just that pointed out one

my bad

[tawdry tree]

that’s for PCBs where the magnet goes through it

[humble surge]

🤝

[tawdry tree]

yeah.

[humble surge]

yeah i'm noticing the different design, makes sense

[humble surge]

next paycheck we ordering a few different ones cause why not

[paper bison]

After re-rebalancing the stabs, fresh grease, I managed to get most of the weird tonal sound that was causing issue out of my spacebar stab... It's not bad, for now, but still not sure whether it's worth replacing the stab or just keep the stock wooting one...

(Owlab Ti He switch, WS BoW Keycaps, everything else stock W80 Zinc)

[buoyant silo]

how can i get rid of the spacebar rattle?

[round sparrow]

relube

[tawdry tree]

@glacial wind all of Raesha’s magnetic switches are full travel

they have a couple others that are woot compatible but all are still releasing

not many people have them yet

[glacial wind]

I’ll have a look and see. One requirement I have is it has to be buyable not on taobao though because regular folks won’t buy from there

[tawdry tree]

hey, there are woot enjoyers in china too

[humble surge]

just use Superbuy, TaoBao immediately becomes accessible

[tropic urchin]

I’d check to see if the stab wire is perfectly flat (if not then you will need to rebalance) and then probably relube as Aureo suggested

[glacial wind]

List is meant for typical buyers, so at the least it needs a non complicated process to buy

Think of your average Joe person who barely knows what a switch is basically

[humble surge]

Ohh i thought it was some personal purchase, i didn't read everything, sorry

Regardless, that is a solution that me and a couple other enthusiasts have been using for years, when it comes to items only TB offers at the time, no issues so far, Superbuy is great.

[languid dirge]

Is platemounted stabs still compatible with Wooting 60he + module when using friction fit pad?

[tawdry tree]

yes

why platemounts though?

the module comes stock with pcb mounts

[languid dirge]

Oh, then nvm. What stabs is included? Cherry?

[sacred elm]

Wooting uses Gateron screw-in stabilizers

[languid dirge]

Ok ty

[tropic urchin]

Only thing Gateron is good for are their screw in stabs it seems

[tawdry tree]

nope, those are mid too

[round sparrow]

yeah...

[round sparrow]

i'd say their mx switches

[steady halo]

nah, hmx better

keygeek better

[narrow crypt]

Should I order some raptor v2 or is there anything better overall coming in the weeks to come ? since we have insiders here

[steady halo]

gateron in MX is overpriced as well

[steady halo]

tikken still estimated to release by the end of this year

if u need switches ASAP, then get raptor v2

[peak breach]

not looking like tikken will be better than raptor v2

[steady halo]

true

Hard to beat Raptor, stem wobble is just too good for an MX stem switch

[steady halo]

it's more of 4mm only

and sound profile

[tropic urchin]

Sno posted a wobble test with tikkens (they look to be similar to owlab for wobble). Both raptors and tikkens sound great, but will depend on if you want deeper sound with more wobble (and full travel) or not

And spring weight ofc

[gaunt plume]

Are there any Chinese who use QQ? I want to use it to collect the switch locks, so please approve it🥺

[tropic urchin]

Both will be relatively cheap so I’d get both and see which you like more @narrow crypt

[peak breach]

honestly the only downsight to raptors imo is rgb bleed if u care about that

[tropic urchin]

Yeah, not super happy about it, but as I told Shafie you can never be truly happy in this life. There’s always something and in this case it’s darker RGB tint

But if it’s a trade off of RGB bleed or having 45g long spring on a super stable switch, so be it

I lived with it on POM, I can live with it again

[peak breach]

I mean you shouldnt be using rgb in the first place

[tropic urchin]

Spoken like a true benom boi

[sacred elm]

Black RGB, best RGB

I'm very interested in cerakey after the other day someone showed it here, unfortunately i'm on ISO, so i will have to come up with a plan i think.
At the very least, identify the key differences and have an alternative cap for those keys i assume.

[sacred elm]

I actually watched it before snos recs

Shafie needs that light green role as compensation

[sacred elm]

Hrm maybe I need to watch that lovely runner one that came out recently

Side note: it’s nice I don’t have to worry about balancing much with the split space bar because there is no large space bar stab lol

You gave raptor v2 on fr4 plate? Thoughts??

[tropic urchin]

He doesn’t have either yet

He would’ve used it on PC plate until I gave the rec 🥶

[slate fox]

I’ll have it today prob, going to try alu test to see how I like it then if bad prob go to FR4

[steady halo]

@glacial wind how's the plate standoff situation on 60he v2?

still using the same thing as other wooting boards or using ow60 plate feature?

[glacial wind]

What’s the ow60 feature? I don’t have that case right now

[steady halo]

where u can apply and remove the standoff

iirc

[glacial wind]

Standoffs not removable as far as I know

I did a full relube of all the stabs and swapped case to optimum plus keycaps to ps1994

[calm pulsar]

oh so you got 60hev2 after all

[glacial wind]

Quite nice. Although if it were for my own use only I’d change the plate to something darker

[steady halo]

that's actually clean

[glacial wind]

Yeah I did sound test earlier for tikkens too if you check pins

[tropic urchin]

Changing stabs just to void the return /s

He’s forced to keep it now

[glacial wind]

It is pretty funny I got a review request for my company unit of 80he

It’s automated so of course it doesn’t know this was a free employee unit

Drop the sound test

[tropic urchin]

Drop the keyboard first and then sound test

[calm pulsar]

the huge wooting logo looks cool on tikkens
would love the full ST on tikkens and rapters

[glacial wind]

All stock stabs be nice and perfect after a hand lube with xht bdz on the wires

[steady halo]

drop and destroy the keyboard first as the sound test

[tropic urchin]

Raptors

[calm pulsar]

I’ll do a full keyboard sound test on tikkens tomorrow. It’s too late for me to be pulling out my mic and camera tripods lol

https://tenor.com/view/chomp-bite-arm-gif-7083692912057941766

they need to buy larger stab kit because normal kits only come with 5 2u stabs

and you need 6 for split

[calm pulsar]

only 3 stabs for tsangan

[tropic urchin]

And only 1.5 manufacturers for it

Nice yeah lmk what you think between alu vs fr4

Curious about raptors but also curious about those plates

BRO. NO.

fk me

[cyan lark]

What am I looking at?

[polar girder]

Stupid gap on plate

Plagues me to this day

Why don’t they abandoned it?!

[cyan lark]

Dang picky

[tawdry tree]

TKL kits are normal kits, which include 4x2u. Full size kits (which include 5x2u), are nearly extinct. So what you need is to buy 2 stabilizer sets to cover the split 60HE v2. And FYI, split backspace and shift support is without any cons like split space is, so they could’ve done that as I said in my thread as well.

Or 64 😉

With the HM66, you could get away with just buying an extra stab wire (most stabs don’t have these available anyway but still).

Most people wouldn’t change out the stabs anyway, so it doesn’t matter like everything else, surely. 🥀

[polar girder]

Picky? Lol it’s like a black hole of nothingness staring back at you when you look down at your keyboard

[glacial wind]

I like that aligner found a way to convert that message into his layout stuff again lol

[calm pulsar]

good thing sno didnt notice me talking about tsangan again

[trail bane]

Actually, now we have MX pcb for holy80 https://kbdfans.com/collections/pcb/products/kbdfans-holy80-8k-mx-hotswap-pcb

[trail bane]

But can bet it compatible with all 80HE Stuff

[glacial wind]

honestly you have more chance of convincing me to listen at this stage

everytime he tries to non subtlety shift a topic into his layout stuff it makes me listen even less

at this stage when i see the number 64 my eyes glaze over and i skip the message

[glacial wind]

that's why you get black plate and it's all just a black hole

if i didn't need to keep the plate stock to keep the switch sound stock for sound tests i'd probably replace the plate for cf plate whenever 3rd party ones came out

[junior lava]

I’d like to ask about the screw specifications for the Wooting 80HE PCB. I accidentally lost one while assembling it today....

[sacred elm]

There are extra screws in the box

[glacial wind]

i had some time while finishing up this episode of lovely runner

so i did all but one stab at kight v4 and kept one stab stock just to show there's no difference if both are tuned well lol

although i don't think it matters anyway since none of my sound tests are to do with stock stab sound or anything like that

[calm pulsar]

I've made my peace with it, and since I have a compatible plate for my frog, 60hev2 module with tikkens is not off the table for me

plus venom and rakka exist anyways

[glacial wind]

i think it'd be a fun game to play to get someone to listen to a recording and try to guess which stab is knight v4 and which is stock stab

i mean i like tsangan. I think it's a good layout overall even though it's really niche

just that i don't think any good layout arguments for wooting making it exists really beyond "I want it and you guys like to experiment so why not this particular experiment which I want"

which is a fine argument, just not really the best business case to make

[polar girder]

I use my right thumb to hit space bar. Nuff said.

Will you be able to use keysnaps with 60HE v2?

[tropic urchin]

What about 80HE 7u and reduced right shift

[calm pulsar]

the best argument I could probably make:

• 7u split sb could allow for 1 SKU for both split and non split (2.75 - 1.5 - 2.75)
• bigger alt key for gaming

but that still might fall under "do an experiment for me" lol

[tropic urchin]

No weird 64 85% boards, just small and simple changes

[cyan lark]

I could have stated that better, beauty or perfection is in the eye of the beholder. To me aesthetic concerns pretty much stop after caps and case.

[calm pulsar]

this is kinda cool

imagine wooting 80he cases with MX pcbs lol

[glacial wind]

i don't mind lots of weird layouts honestly. I don't there's much logical reasoning to make most of them but i think whatever layout people like is cool

[polar girder]

Yeah this

Agreed

[glacial wind]

like im probably one of the few people here who have typed long term on dvorak before

[tawdry tree]

mid ragebait, as usual. it’s not about my layout, just pointing out that there aren’t any cons to that like there are with split space.

[tropic urchin]

I didn’t see a yes, but I also didn’t see a no 🌹

[chilly mural]

Jokes on you, you're using a 64bit OS

[tawdry tree]

two 2.75u space bars are uncommon but it’d be possible

[glacial wind]

sorry i only read up to you're using a

[tawdry tree]

tsangan wouldn’t require fucking 6 2u stabs either

and could be support by a single stab set

[trail bane]

Indeed

[tawdry tree]

split space tsangan.

[cyan lark]

sno just called the Nintendo64 a “Nintendo” just like my mom

This is 64 erasure

[calm pulsar]

yeah I mean there are probably no sets that would include both sb keys of this size

[languid kestrel]

I have literally never noticed this once on any keyboard ever

[calm pulsar]

wooting could make a couple of these and throw with each 60hev3, but you know damn well I'd just use 7u

[glacial wind]

Rgb actually looks quite nice with this keycap combo. Pity it’s about to be turned off

[tawdry tree]

there are quite a few ways to do split space on 7u, I’ve seen 2.25 - 2 - 2.75 before too

obviously woot would do 2.75 first 💀

[tropic urchin]

Calm down Shafie

[sacred elm]

Orchid 👍

the middle key being the same color as the spacebars is not too bad tbh

[little glen]

i see we dont talk about sony lenses anymore

[calm pulsar]

I can picture sno doing a sound test video for wooting and saying

"There you have it. My favorite switch was the Sony 24-70 gm ii lens"

[tawdry tree]

nah this is fine actually, as you have the left over RShift. And it’s not as bad as I thought. There seem to be quite a few sets that include everything when you get the SB or Forties child kit as well.

and many 6.25U spacebars can be mounted on a 7U key.

[polar girder]

Well now you’re cursed

[tawdry tree]

it’s a small price to pay but still way better than whatever the fuck this shit is now

[glacial wind]

I was considering a Sony joke for my wooting employee tagline on the site

[calm pulsar]

yeah but the leftover shift wouldn't be as nice cause it's not the spacebar shaped

[tawdry tree]

of course but this was calders argument, “you can use the shift keys (of an entirely different keycap set) to use in place of the spacebars”.

🥴🥴

[polar girder]

lol typical

[calm pulsar]

for this page you mean? https://wooting.io/about

[calm pulsar]

@tropic urchin went further than that, using a right shift sized spacebar for the right shift

[night atlas]

I'm imagining someone coming in here for the first time looking for switch recs and this being the first thing they see

[glacial wind]

yeah

[tropic urchin]

Why am I being spawn camped, that right shift blue was the only way to match given lazurite set 😭😭😭

Let me get salt lake first before you roast my blue right shift

[glass girder]

gonna sound like a dumb question, but how do you guys know what profile you're on with the wooting 60he? especially if you don't have any shine-through keycaps and you can't see the rgb

[calm pulsar]

I vote this to be the best tagline

[glacial wind]

so i think if you use optimum case you have to use the optimum foam with v2 instead of the silicone or foam bottom that comes with it. it's a tad bit thick and sits just slightly high if you use the v2 foam instead of the optimum case foam

[tropic urchin]

I’d open up the app or web browser to check, but without both is tough to see

At that point you kinda don’t

[calm pulsar]

just wanted to do one final roast before you get your new set

[tropic urchin]

I’d have to abandon my left right color shift setup

[calm pulsar]

iirc you can configure some edge keys to be a certain color at least to know the profile

also maybe you can make a bind to switch to a certain profile and have a unique bind for each profile to just press it and know for certain you're on intended profile

[glass girder]

edge keys? as in like the keys on the outer edges of the keyboard like tab, space, etc?

also I think you're right, I usually use fn + 1, 2, etc to make sure im on the profile I want to be

[calm pulsar]

yeah I meant whatever key on which you can see rgb color underglow even if you have no shinethrough caps

[misty sapphire]

anyone ever combine the plastic and zinc bases to a frosted top zinc bottom?

[tropic urchin]

Haven’t seen anyone try that tbh

I imagine it would probably warp over time or maybe not fit 100%

[misty sapphire]

i know the plastic has clips, i could sand / snip those off. if the screwholes line up i can make it work ig

[misty sapphire]

i ordered these pbtfans xray caps. they are semitransparent. this is them in the frosted 80he case. i got a free white zinc v2 to replace my messed up black zinc. and i think it could be a cool contrast to match the keycaps with the white frosted top zinc bottom

or its gonna look really bad

idk

[tropic urchin]

Worth a try I guess, but I’d also take into consideration the possibility there will be some potential incompatibility between the two different materials

[misty sapphire]

yeah, tolerances might not match up. and i know for a fact the plastic one has clips around it while the zinc one has 2 clips at the bottom. so they need to be sanded and snipped. not new to that kinda stuff so that isnt a issue

[tropic urchin]

It already kinda warps from what I’ve heard from another that has it, so adding both could accelerate it

[misty sapphire]

just rying to see if the holes line up via images rn

[tropic urchin]

Maybe ask Mark

He would have a decent idea if it’s feasible or maybe Mansen

Would be a cool idea

[misty sapphire]

mansen told me "incompattible" and ask support

[tropic urchin]

Hm

[misty sapphire]

already have a ticket open from the replacement so im just gonna ask them 😄

its only 40 euro so not the biggest ivestment if it doesnt line up

[tropic urchin]

Yeah it will probably require a healthy amount of DIY in that case (pun not intended)

[misty sapphire]

lol

im just wondering if it will look really bad or if it could look cool

[misty sapphire]

cuz these caps look great in the frosted case

[tropic urchin]

It’ll look unique probably, bad/good is subjective

[misty sapphire]

that is very true, im sure they arent everyones style to begin with

[tropic urchin]

If you perfect it could be cool

[misty sapphire]

those keycaps have a really cool effect with a strong backlight

it comes with some keys i wont use, im gonna try sandinf the bottom of the caps with a high grit to make it opaque, it should refract light throughout the entire cap (probably)

[misty sapphire]

20g of protein adleast

[trail bane]

!Amen

[misty sapphire]

it kinda works like that on acrylic so no clue what this clear abs gonna do. but its worth it to try on a modifyer key i will never use

[misty sapphire]

this is what happens to acrylic if you sand the sides and put light on it

again, could also look absolutely terrible so idk

https://tenor.com/view/ps2-startup-bios-ps2startup-gaming-gif-16262793

[glacial wind]

It’s quite nice cause the details for it are subtle. There’s actually gradient shading from alpha keys to the right where it’s darker grey then finally black

I actually think it’d look even better in 80he because then there’s a few glossy keys I can throw in too which are for arrows and other mods

Hrm wait actually I have two alphas and all the mods… could I technically use this same set on two keyboards at once

Oh shit I can! 80he getting makeover next too

[tulip rapids]

yeah its a very nice layout 🧐

[tropic urchin]

New raptor V2s

Basically better POM without boxstem and shit sound

[misty sapphire]

you are getting them today?

[tropic urchin]

Just arrived

[misty sapphire]

they are made by the same guys as the geon raw he right?

[tropic urchin]

HMX

is the manu

[tropic urchin]

But is a geon switch

[misty sapphire]

allright, did you put them in a board yet?

[tropic urchin]

No

Leaving work in like 30-45 mins

[misty sapphire]

i really like the sound of the geon raws, but im always looking for nicer ones / diff ones for fun. might try them

i wasnt a fan of the stock lekkers, and the owlabs werent my thing either

[tropic urchin]

Owlabs are okay, not my all time favorite

Prefer long spring switches more

[misty sapphire]

yeah i do miss the 4mm travel. i still got some lekkers in my arrow keys i set up with gamepad for driving

[uneven cradle]

Well new Lekker Tikkens coming soon

[misty sapphire]

idk if clacky is the right word? but the closed bottom makes a sound i do not like

[misty sapphire]

will 100% try them, but im scared they might be a bit to close to the owlabs for my taste

[uneven cradle]

From what I've heard completely different sound profile much deeper sounding switch

[tropic urchin]

They’re higher pitched clack

[tropic urchin]

Nah

Not close

From Sno’s limited test atleast

[misty sapphire]

ill taste them soon enough

[tropic urchin]

They have owlab wobble, but sound a lot deeper

[misty sapphire]

the geonraws have decent stemwobble

i lost my owlabs forgot where i put them. i dont remember if they wobbled as badly as the lekkers

[tropic urchin]

Their top is good but similar to raw the bottom wobble is kinda mid

Won’t feel the bottom as much unless you’re playing hold lean in a fps game like Tarkov for example

I’m more sensitive to top wobble anyway but hoping raptors are godly

[misty sapphire]

valorant when i wanna hate myself

[uneven cradle]

Owlabs are more stable then raws

[misty sapphire]

same but i do bottom out keys quite often

[misty sapphire]

cool, i only used them very briefly because i disliked the sound immensely. i was gonna try them again but they are just gone

[tropic urchin]

What plate do you use

Maybe try FR4 or softer or CF

CF was decent

[misty sapphire]

stock one on the 80he

[tropic urchin]

Interesting

[misty sapphire]

did put in some poron foam in the case instead of whatever it comes with

[tropic urchin]

PC plate is super muted so I’m surprised

[misty sapphire]

foam+putty in the big keys like the spacebar and backspace to remove that awful clang sound of the spacebar

[tropic urchin]

Polyfill/default foam

[misty sapphire]

i like it more on the deeper/quiet end

[misty sapphire]

i had a sheet of poron on hand, liked it more than what came in it

[tropic urchin]

I like hearing some key feedback, so hearing none was super jarring

[misty sapphire]

please inform us how they are id love to know before i buy a few

[tropic urchin]

If you’re EU you’re out of luck

I think divinikey still has some

[misty sapphire]

i dont mind waiting or importing

[misty sapphire]

geon.works seems to have em

[glacial wind]

Ah perfect. Both boards ps1994

[tropic urchin]

Geon should have them but deltakey got raided

[misty sapphire]

raided?

[tropic urchin]

The Vikings raided their supplies

[misty sapphire]

raw zinc honestly looks allright

[misty sapphire]

the fuck?

[tropic urchin]

Yeah so they don’t have anymore raptors

Out of stock iirc

[misty sapphire]

ive got a spare peeling 80he case and idk what to do with it lol. they didnt want it back i think. i asked them to be sure but no reply yet

could sand it and try and refinish it? or just strip the coating of for a raw zinc

[tropic urchin]

If you want the full case without swapping I’d get the silver GT80

[manic hound]

I’d buy a gt80 if shipping wasn’t $30

Anyone got a good website to buy keycaps from?

[manic hound]

Is this optimums case?

[ionic breach]

alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list

[manic hound]

Ty sir

[glacial wind]

yeah optimum on the 60he v2

[manic hound]

How do you like it? I was contemplating getting an optimum combo and v2 whenever it released, but Im tempted to just stick with getting a he80 for the f keys

[glacial wind]

it's my favourite case out of the ones wooting sells for 60%

but format is king. I'd pick whatever format you prefer

[manic hound]

Yeah lol I was tempted to get a 60he+ just because of how much I love the optimum case

Looks so sleek

[misty sapphire]

i was gonna ask if they are already being sold but then i realized your role lol

how are you personally liking the split spacebar? i lowkey really want one, but i dont like the format of the 60%.

[misty sapphire]

the case is sick, hope someone makes something like it for the 80

for now the stock 80he case is the cleanest imo

[manic hound]

Yeah I’m either gonna just stick with the plastic ghost case or get the raw silver one haven’t decided

Optimum needs to make an 80he case 😭

[misty sapphire]

i had the black zinc, now white as of like litteraly 3 hours ago. and i love the zinc cases

sound, feel, weight. however the black v1 has some issues so might wanna wait if they make a improved version of it or get a white one if you go for metal

[misty sapphire]

are you planning on dissasembling it soon for any reason?

[manic hound]

Haven’t purchased anything yet haha still deciding

[glacial wind]

I like it. It took half a day to get used to it due to muscle memory for pressing space bar but after adjusting it’s been good

[manic hound]

But yeah it will be fully disassembled

I’m going custom switches fax

Etc*

[misty sapphire]

thats nice to hear, i really like the idea of it. shame theres no 80he option with it. what do you use the extra buttons for if you dont mind me asking?

[thorn zealot]

Prob never happenin

[misty sapphire]

cool, if you dont mind i kinda need a pic of the top piece of the plastic case for the screw holes

[glacial wind]

Mostly in game bindings. It’s very useful for things like a callout or map bind in valorant for example

[misty sapphire]

stuff like that, was gonna be my intentions to. but i dont think i can live without the arrow keys / frow

[manic hound]

I have an ergo split mechanical keyboard with the double space bars and it’s so nice

[misty sapphire]

i dont think i could get used to a ergo but i got a friend that loves them

[manic hound]

The dygma raze I think it’s called

It has a lot of latency though

[misty sapphire]

i always keep my thumb on the left side of the spacebar, so static any spacebar i get is smooth superquick in 1 spot lol

[misty sapphire]

i dont think many people game on a ergo lol

[manic hound]

Well you can unplug one side lol so I only use one side of the keyboard

It’s really nice, just high latency

[misty sapphire]

ign pakistan doesnt know which way the feet goes lol

[glacial wind]

I have no leaks or info there, but I imagine if 60% split does well then it wouldn’t be too crazy to see us make other formats with it one day

[misty sapphire]

i hope so, ive been trying to convice a few friends to get wootings

no dice yet sadly

volume knob + split spacebar is a dream. and than the madlads made a HE knob

[misty sapphire]

what is your function within wooting if you dont mind me asking?

[glacial wind]

I’m the modding content creator

[misty sapphire]

do those go on the main channel or is there a seperate one for modding?

[glacial wind]

Main channel, but it’s new so that’s why you haven’t seen content from me there yet

[misty sapphire]

oh makes sense

exiting tho, would be fun to see

[austere creek]

UE5 modding tutorials please 🙏

[misty sapphire]

[glacial wind]

I can make a vibe modding tutorial for it

[austere creek]

hah

good luck

see you in a few months

[glacial wind]

I’m excellent at vibe coding so I assume my vibe skills can apply there too

[austere creek]

if there was resources on the net the AI could have learned from yes maybe

[manic hound]

Wooting needs to add a 10key for us accountants 🫡

[austere creek]

2he

[manic hound]

I don’t want a 2he though

Too much desk space

Just want a simple 10 key to plug in at will wherever

Take to work, use while gaming etc etc

Need to have some low latency switches while I smash thru work papers on client time

[austere creek]

wouldnt you want high latency to maximize billed time

[misty sapphire]

get a wireless or seperate numpad, easy to disconnect and throw in a drawer

[manic hound]

Shhh

Don’t give away the industry secret

[little glen]

split space wootpad confirmed

[misty sapphire]

i need the wooting knob

[little glen]

pls voice your opinion in https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1216240474663419995

[manic hound]

As a professional accountant (gamer) I would utilize it

[oak jewel]

oops

[misty sapphire]

are they thay good?

what kind of soundprofile do they have?

[misty sapphire]

not bad, what board is that?

[safe stag]

alumaze with stock plate

[safe stag]

very good, especially for the price you get them

they are cheap

[misty sapphire]

they do kinda remind me of the owlab switches

are they closed bottom?

[safe stag]

yes

[misty sapphire]

might not be for me tbh

how is the stem wobble on them when pushed down / at the top?

[safe stag]

very good, like ttc poms

[misty sapphire]

also thanks for answering all the goofy ah ah questions

[safe stag]

np, you can find a recap here https://wootingmods.com/switchguide/

[misty sapphire]

i really really like the sound of the geon raw. but id kinda like something deeper sounding

or bassier i geus

[safe stag]

we are really lacking of thocky he switches

[warm forge]

at least when the tikkens come out we'll have one option lol

[manic hound]

Akko astrolights seem to be nice sounding

From what I’ve seen

[misty sapphire]

i hear alot of good stuff about akko

didnt know they made HE switches, def gonna check those out thanks!

[misty sapphire]

have you tried any yourself

anyone have the list of compatible he switches with the 80he i cant google for shit

[rare sierra]

i would assume basically all of them unless stated otherwise

[tropic urchin]

Send some to @calm pulsar

[misty sapphire]

i assume these are

[calm pulsar]

https://wootingmods.com/switchguide/#switch-list--database

[misty sapphire]

ty 😄

[oak jewel]

Better

[misty sapphire]

the flash magnetic and astrolink are in that doc but the astroaim isnt, but like they should work right

[safe stag]

I doubled checked, you're right they are better

[tropic urchin]

Every magnetic switch that works for 60HE and isn’t a low profile switch

[manic hound]

I have not but I’m planning an 80he build with them. They sound creamy I think

[misty sapphire]

im gonna order a few to test em out

[manic hound]

Better than jades in my opinion

[misty sapphire]

the "flash" ones are stupid lmao

idk i havent found anything that beats the geon raws sound for me. ik its all preference at the end but these are so nice

[manic hound]

I’ve heard sticky rice v2s are pretty thocky

[misty sapphire]

cool, ill check those out.

[trail bane]

Elf kings shots everything
