[tropic urchin]

Not bad

[marsh saffron]

Give or take a few degrees

[tropic urchin]

It’s like high 80s here til next week

[marsh saffron]

Yeah this is fuckall heat wise

[tropic urchin]

Very not cool

[marsh saffron]

Its supposed to cool off over the next week or two

Mid 20s

One day of 28

[chilly mural]

I wanna gaslit myself to think my 80he is 3 years, cause damn, 60hev2 is too cool

[chilly mural]

damn, 31 degree C

[tropic urchin]

With high humidity too

[chilly mural]

3 degree above my AC set temp

[tropic urchin]

Summers in the north east are feeling like Florida day to day

[chilly mural]

climate change doesn't exist

[tropic urchin]

Not abnormal when there were weeks were that happened before, but no more breezy 80s 😭

[chilly mural]

rest in peace

the earth really need better AIO

[tropic urchin]

Them coastal bois are going first

[tropic urchin]

It exists, but not worth obsessing over when you hold no control over changing even 0.001% of the issue.

[little glen]

the people that should be obsessing over it dont because they profit from perpetuating it

[tropic urchin]

You’d have to eliminate private plane usage and convert the entirety of China and India over to nuclear energy or some shit to even see a difference

[little glen]

🙃

[tropic urchin]

Which will never happen so no point in dwelling on it

You could convert to only using paper straws and never driving or traveling ever again, but Taylor swift (or any celeb) could think about using their private jet and outdo any meaningful impact over your entire life lol

[little glen]

nothing is ever going to happen cause the people that can change anything are all getting paid by oil companies and shit

[little glen]

i agree that we should abolish taylor swift

[tropic urchin]

Not just her, but her positions are comical given her private plane usage

If anything those people should be carbon taxed solely and exclusively

[tulip rapids]

just do it

[tropic urchin]

And then you have those absolute numpty old heads in the just stop oil protestors that just make people hate them by blocking highways and stopping the average person from getting to work lol

[steady halo]

ChatGPT is kinda accurate

https://tenor.com/view/chatgpt-cheating-cheating-no-idea-idea-generator-random-gif-27526767

[chilly mural]

to but 80he's knife is already soo good, you can still compete in fast cutting competition and still able to get top 5

[tropic urchin]

wtf is a racing knife lol

[trail bane]

Indeed

[marsh saffron]

Can attest

[tulip rapids]

no idea

maybe a knife that goes fast

[tropic urchin]

Knife that can go fast and is tuned

[zinc laurel]

I have everything to build my 80HE but the JST cable thats coming on Monday. Can I build the entire keyboard and easily connect the cable later?

[tropic urchin]

Not going to be able to use it without the JST as it connects everything together to be usable

Did you break your first one?

[tropic urchin]

All you’d be able to do is IG prep the PCB with your plate of choice and get it ready with your switches and keycaps and stick it into the case, but without the JST it’s not going to power on

[steady halo]

i know

[steady halo]

chatgpt knows what it's talking about

[trail bane]

How do you have everything except cable?

I take my words back, with solid plates, I’m sure it’ll have a really nice, deep sound. Yet another reason why I’ll have to get titons

[tropic urchin]

No they definitely aren’t for you

[tulip rapids]

am i a mad man if i get custom alu plate for 80he

[tropic urchin]

If it’s from torontokeyboardman yes

[tulip rapids]

yeah

xD

[zinc laurel]

I bought just the module not knowing it didnt come with the cable if I removed the case so I bought the case and its coming Monday

[trail bane]

But wait what case would you use?

[zinc laurel]

i know it wont turn on i just wanted to get a sound test but didnt wanna do it if it meant putting the cable was hard

i got the bone80

[trail bane]

Oh, and bone80 doesn’t come with jst cable?

Interesting and very inconvenient

[zinc laurel]

nope

but i chose it because kbdfans shipping was pretty insane when i looked

[tropic urchin]

Assuming it doesn’t come with a daughterboard that would be why

The case is what has the DB and what comes with the JST

[zinc laurel]

yup thats correct

[tropic urchin]

But yeah you can get a ST no problem without it

Just will be a paper weight in the meantime

[tropic urchin]

In my experience the first time is always the hardest and each time after is much easier

[zinc laurel]

perfect thanks for letting me know 🙏

[tropic urchin]

If you only open it up once every 2 years it’ll be hard, but if you kinda keep poking in it will be very easy

But that’s why I love the GT80 so much, makes any modding 10x easier

And nice aluminum case

[zinc laurel]

My bone80 looks pretty nice in hand

Ive been keyboard modding normal mechanical keyboards for a couple years and its one of my better looking cases

[tropic urchin]

You should be in good hands then

[trail bane]

GT-80 is best choice if you modify your keyboard 27/7. But it died in my eyes because of the centered daughterboard

[little glen]

i prefer center usb

[tropic urchin]

I hated it for centered DB too until I got it in hand and I never gave a fuck about it after

[little glen]

just for this lander i will tell my friend to never give you his switchy blanket

[tropic urchin]

DAMN

The ball catch system is truly revolutionary

I will stand and die on that hill

[little glen]

yes you better catch these balls

[trail bane]

[little glen]

unless they are loose

[calm pulsar]

ball grab system*

[tropic urchin]

Grab them by the.. wait a second

[trail bane]

I suddenly felt the urge to message Mark so he’d give me admin rights to punish you for such a cruel statement. But I’m holding back, consider yourself saved. ||For now ||

[tulip rapids]

ball punch system*

https://tenor.com/view/vietnam-cats-flashback-gif-10819307

[tropic urchin]

He needs a $150k+ down payment before he starts listening to ban requests

Make sure to also send it to my cash app so I can vet it first

[trail bane]

Something along those lines. After shofie got his trial moderator period, I asked Mark if I could become a moderator too, since right now I basically only use Discord for the Wooting server (98% of the time). He said they’d have to discuss it, review my chat history, etc., and then I might be able to become an admin if they end up needing one

[thorn zealot]

Oh they review chat history

[trail bane]

As you can see and judging by my impression, they just don’t need more moderation staff for now. So I’ll wait my prime time

[thorn zealot]

Yeah I’m never becoming a mod even if I want to

[trail bane]

Some kind cuz they need to know how well you’d fit the role, how well you communicate with people, and so on

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I cause too much mischief 100% 😂

[tidal frigate]

@trail bane i cant become mod due to my chat history

Even if i would want to

[calm pulsar]

I heard Mark reviews Battlefield 6 k/d of each candidate personally, so Jakubix aint got a chance

[tropic urchin]

tn issue Mr backetloss

[trail bane]

I’m def win ts cuz i have best pc y’all can imagine

[thorn zealot]

The msgs I send here make me look like mmg if he was a kb ytuber

[tropic urchin]

Above average gamers like you wouldn’t understand

[calm pulsar]

link your stats

[tropic urchin]

I’m so good EA can’t stat track me ☝️🤓

[trail bane]

Cpu: intel pentium something
Gpu: intel graphics
Ram: ddr3 something

[tidal frigate]

@trail bane well to become mod. They check your warnings and chat logs

[tropic urchin]

Bros giving phish a run for his money for who’s PC is worse

[tidal frigate]

Thats high end pc

[trail bane]

Laptop. My Pc sadly in Ukraine

And i can bet my brother rn plays roblox on it🥀

[tidal frigate]

You didnt put mines into your pc in war zone?

[tropic urchin]

@calm pulsar it’s time for NATO vs USSR plane battle

[stoic ocean]

He control fpv

[trail bane]

But I’ve almost saved up for a new PC, so…

[thorn zealot]

As long as it can fulfill my 144hz monitor in celeste then I think it’s 👍

[tropic urchin]

Winner gets to go watch in Alaska

[trail bane]

Путин already wins alaska in clash royale

[calm pulsar]

I dont have any expectations about the summit anyways, I feel like this is going to go on forever😭

[trail bane]

I seen a video

[tropic urchin]

ahem что

[calm pulsar]

erm... что за сигма

[tidal frigate]

@trail bane well Waiting to see Nawrocki at alaska meeting

[trail bane]

Russification of global chat is kinda

[tidal frigate]

Well Nawrocki is great.

And is hunted by Russians

[trail bane]

Twin, no politic topics are appreciated here

[tidal frigate]

Actually politics are allowed

[trail bane]

Ahem

[tidal frigate]

Keyboard modding is basicly 2nd general

[trail bane]

Oh fr

[calm pulsar]

I used to have a discord friend from Khmelnitsky, but we stopped talking since the conflict started

today I was playing BF6 and he jumped into my match to kill me a couple of times lol, but he rage quit at the end of the match😭

[trail bane]

I almost forgot there’s no any other chat besides #🐱│pets

[calm pulsar]

yeah lol these are my 2 chats I only go to

[tidal frigate]

Well #🐱│pets is great place to show your food u made

[trail bane]

Mark is online if you’re forgot

He’s watching you

[tropic urchin]

So that’s where the Polish puke bowls originated from

Gross backstory

[tidal frigate]

Well then explain why people put their pets in #🍲│food

[tropic urchin]

Should’ve had a plane battle to test air superiority for the analog competition

[thorn zealot]

I would say it but

[calm pulsar]

it would probably end very fast cause I'd just crash

[thorn zealot]

I’d let u figure that out

[lyric nimbus]

how does my spacebar sound

[toxic surge]

should i get the raptors or owlab ti?

i really like clacky switches

[stray tiger]

TI's have a really clean clackly sound. Less harsh from what I can tell

[tropic urchin]

Raptors have a nice clack, but aren’t overtly loud like others. Owlabs are louder but also higher pitched. If you want best stability, 100% raptors. Otherwise if you don’t care about stability you might enjoy Owlabs

Raptors are kind of like a mildly deeper Jade pros that don’t make a lot of noise

[toxic surge]

i like a slighty louder sound

[tropic urchin]

I’d say a cleaner sounding POM

[lyric nimbus]

idk if it's me or does a spacebar usually sound like this

[tropic urchin]

Try owlabs then

[tropic urchin]

It is a little chattery, unsure if it’s the stabs or switch being used

[calm pulsar]

could be better

[stray tiger]

Spacebar needs some work!

[tropic urchin]

In my experience Owlabs weren’t as loud as flux or some others I’ve tried but they’re like maybe 10-15% louder than raptors pitch wise

[stray tiger]

I can hear the ticking

[toxic surge]

i got phylina thunder switches rn but idk whats wrong if its the stability or something but my spacebar sound terrible with them i couldnt fix rattle even with screw ins so i switched back to a lekker l45 on my spacebar and now i have no rattle at all idk whats wrong about them ngl

[lyric nimbus]

how do i fix that

[calm pulsar]

the general tone is fine for a spacebar, but the sound can be cleaner if you lube the stabs and balance the wire to avoid ticking

[tropic urchin]

Try to do a sound test with Phylina and with lekkers

Curious

[toxic surge]

gimme a second

[stray tiger]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[tropic urchin]

Also thank you again @stray tiger for making me fix my space bar cuz I would’ve had a loose left shift key for now until the end of time 😭

That thing must’ve been cooked for SO long and I never noticed

[stray tiger]

I didnt make you, I just strongly nudged you lol

[tropic urchin]

You didn’t have a gun to my head, but you definitely had super lube aimed at it

[lyric nimbus]

ok

[toxic surge]

where do i send you the video?

[lyric nimbus]

i guess modding can wait

[tropic urchin]

You can just post it here

You will get more help that way

You can have arc or thockfather roasting it and you’ll find the issue

[calm pulsar]

honestly the easiest way is to watch a video on lubing stabs

[lyric nimbus]

can i use silicone grease

[calm pulsar]

generally grease is for stab wires (metal parts)

and normal lube for stab stems and housings, something you'd use for switches

[toxic surge]

So this is the lekker one it’s not the cleanest that’s probably due to lack of stability it’s lubed and everything

And that’s the phylina

Way worse then the lekker l45 it’s the v1s

[lyric nimbus]

mm

is there any reason to upgrade my stabs

or are they all basically the same

[toxic surge]

i mean the stock 60he stabs are pretty good

[lyric nimbus]

its a 2he

[tropic urchin]

I think it’s just how the switch sounds in the space bar vs a problem necessarily

[trail bane]

You should try

[tropic urchin]

I didn’t hear any metal in it like ticking

Lekker is definitely a bit softer

[toxic surge]

Yeah

might be the keycap no?

[lyric nimbus]

eh

whatever

i'll mod it when i get back to university

aluminum 2he here i come

[tropic urchin]

Maybe try removing the switch and swap to another Phylina and put the space bar back on and do an extended space bar jam across and on each different part of the space bar if that makes sense

Just to try and remove different possibilities

[toxic surge]

i already tried using different phylina switches

[tropic urchin]

Might just be the Phylina space bar then

Since some switches inherently don’t sound as good

[toxic surge]

im not sure if the 2he supports screw in stabilizer tbh

[tulip rapids]

should i invest in foam for space bar or you guys think thats a waste of money

[tropic urchin]

Personal preference

[toxic surge]

yeah cuz every other switch even with stabs sounds perfect

[tulip rapids]

"deep clack"

[toxic surge]

just the spacebar is terrible

[tropic urchin]

Only buy it if you want a softer space bar

That’s about the only reason

[tulip rapids]

good lube would fix that issue though no?

or not really

[tropic urchin]

Yeah it’s not super uncommon for that to happen

[toxic surge]

so what do i do try the owlabs?

[tropic urchin]

Some ppl loved jade pro space bar sound over other switches like flux or POM

[tropic urchin]

If you’re interested just buy em

[tulip rapids]

owlabs are clean but also loud

[toxic surge]

yeah i dont mind that

[thorn zealot]

Not forever

[tropic urchin]

Lube only fixes rattle or some metallic sounds it won’t make it permanently soft

[tulip rapids]

i see

thank you all for your advice

[tropic urchin]

Actually you know what

Buy it and have it on standby if you have any space bar sound issues

[tulip rapids]

wut bruv

[tulip rapids]

i do need to lube my spacebar right meow too

[thorn zealot]

Yeah u should buy lube

[tulip rapids]

i already have wooting lube

[thorn zealot]

Lube is not only for kbs

[tulip rapids]

i bought their kit

i was going to lube my geon when i get heavier springs

but with tariffs i put that project on hold

[toxic surge]

@tropic urchin im just afraid that the owlabs have the same problem as my phylinas

[trail bane]

Ts is pure gamble m8

[toxic surge]

fr

[trail bane]

Too many factors

[tropic urchin]

For space bar?

[toxic surge]

yeah

[tropic urchin]

It could

I didn’t notice anything crazy for mine

Really won’t know until you try, so I mean if you don’t care about owlabs for your alpha keys, then probably just a waste to get them only for the space bar key

[toxic surge]

nah if i get them i will use them for every key

[tropic urchin]

I wouldn’t worry about it

You could try and get space bar foam too to try

[toxic surge]

yeah

[tropic urchin]

But if you don’t give a fuck about trying to mod it, I’d just keep lekker on standby

[trail bane]

I still think my spacebar isn’t good enough.

[toxic surge]

you mean with the owlab?

or what switches do u use

[trail bane]

Currently using og pom

[toxic surge]

ok

[trail bane]

But with regular gasket it sucks

[tropic urchin]

I remember Shafie didn’t like POM space bar and ended up using Jade pro

Really is switch dependent

[trail bane]

Same

[calm pulsar]

it might be I advised him to do that hehe, but either way I did the same when I used poms on the frog
pom spacebar was too airy, empty, so I used my franken

[tropic urchin]

POMs in general were pretty airy once you tried any other switch

I do kinda wish geon made the raptors more like fluxies volume but the performance is too gud to really bitch about sound

[trail bane]

Heh.. guess who’s been using literally dry White snakes this whole time, thinking they just sounded bad?)

[calm pulsar]

as a TTC KOM collector you shoulda known to lube em

[trail bane]

Ts is unforgivable

[tropic urchin]

unc has to give up the title

[trail bane]

Yeah, because when I got them, the person I got them from said they were lubed

[tropic urchin]

TTC doesnt count

[trail bane]

Ayo hear me out, snakes are not that bad

[trail bane]

Everything I said about them before was a lie, Photoshop, clickbait, that’s not me etc

[stray tiger]

Took a few weeks but managed to track down a push-to-start cap for the Bauer lite

Couldn't find one anywhere. Tracked down a guy from MM who had one listed over a year ago and turns out he had 3 that he never sold. Should have bought all 3 but I've spent too much lately

[calm pulsar]

I like alphas so much on this set that I wish there was a full gmk set of this style

[stray tiger]

Speaking of badass sets, look what Neph is cooking up https://discord.com/channels/973588317801177128/1404924113734078505

Plus GMK Mutagen is looking badass. Loving the green

[marsh saffron]

Clean

Grey on cream goes hard

[tropic urchin]

Now that’s a busy set

[kind helm]

I AM JUST HAPPY TO SEE REASONABLE PRICE

NOT SORRY FOR CAP

[tropic urchin]

YOU SHOULD BE

https://tenor.com/view/blue-role-rolecism-goku-black-gif-13734193515976316747

[kind helm]

no role is best role

yea there are like 3-4 sets of good abs cap for 65 dolla now on novelkeys

not the 50 dolla banger like last year but still gud

still gonna wait for blackfriday though, i just need ONE set for leggera, please let me be lucky and get a gud set

[tropic urchin]

Errrm anniversary role

[tropic urchin]

What are you looking for Mr joshiba

[kind helm]

not sure yet, because i will surly only have like 3 to 4 options anyway

[tropic urchin]

If you haven’t already raptors are nice

[kind helm]

a beige set or some variance of bow

[tropic urchin]

They sound like throwing a stone at a pillow wall 🌹

[kind helm]

raptors on monday next week

[tropic urchin]

On benom they might be goated

I’ve been very happy with their feel

[kind helm]

slow af and expensive af, american delivery system is 0/10

[tropic urchin]

They have negative top wobble and 90% of TTC Pom bottom wobble

While not sounding like an airy mess too

[tidal frigate]

Yeah Americans are kinda slow in delivery

[kind helm]

no wobble?!

https://tenor.com/view/wubba-lubba-dub-dub-rick-sanchez-rick-and-morty-gif-17702741

[tropic urchin]

That’s probably the $8 divinikey

[kind helm]

it used to be 4. something

[tropic urchin]

Bros an OG

[kind helm]

OG -> literally last year it was 4. something

[tropic urchin]

The feel is on par with flux (first switch to compete for me) with better stability than 99.5% of current switches and sounds like Jade pros but maybe less loud slightly

They have a strange sound profile

Overall big geon W with 45g long springs

[kind helm]

from the tests i heard, it is pretty low pitch compare to other he switch

[tropic urchin]

I wish it was a tiny bit louder

[kind helm]

so i am hoping some magic will happen when its paired with pp plate

give me that big PP energy i need

[tropic urchin]

Even on FR4 it was mad quiet

PP is going to be silent switch

[kind helm]

PP is not so quiet, i think mainly the quiet one is PC

FR4 also relatively quiet

but but but i dont know the science behind it because i am a disappointment

[tropic urchin]

I might have to put the geon tag back on ngl

[tropic urchin]

PP isn’t quiet, but even FR4 raptors sounded rather quiet

So PP is going to be a tier below FR4 in terms of volume

[tropic urchin]

Interesting

[tropic urchin]

I’d make a joke but I don’t want any green role smoke 😭

Not to the extent of your jail time but would need to be careful

But PP on benom with raptors might be a fun typing experience tho for feedback

[kind helm]

the new emojis are kinda nice, whoevers making them doing a better job i feel lol

[tropic urchin]

I also had an interesting journey last night when I went to lube my space bar stabs and my left shift wire fell out and had to salvage it from benom temporarily

Holy ass timing

Wonder how long the left shift has been cooked for and never realized

[kind helm]

??? tf you mean by wire fell out

what have you done to your boards

[tropic urchin]

Quite literally I installed them day one and I’ve never touched them since

[tropic urchin]

I held PCB vertical to get a look and it fell out

I was very confused

[kind helm]

arent you using screw in stab

[tropic urchin]

Yeah

[kind helm]

wait no the wire fell out not the whole thing

[tropic urchin]

Which is why I’m very confused bc how does it just fall out

[tropic urchin]

Yeah just the wire

[kind helm]

so it wiggled out of place without anything directly touching it?

[tropic urchin]

The housing stayed

[kind helm]

there is a ghost in your home my friend

[tropic urchin]

Pretty much

[tropic urchin]

Wouldn’t surprise me at all

It was an ordeal taking benom apart to get the left shift stab

[neat mulch]

Anyone have recommendations for cases/keycap stores in Vietnam?

[celest notch]

does anyone know which is better swagkeys knight v2 or v3

[harsh dove]

v4

Personally tho I'm still rocking v1 Knights and I have a couple v2 and v3s, doesn't really matter imo

They just have small changes

Knights in general are good

[lyric nimbus]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/891089133320142888/1335568153136074823/Peanut_cat.gif

11 days before i get back to the university

I NEED THE CNC MILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[celest notch]

dunno if i should wait for v3 (about a month) or just get v2

[lyric nimbus]

PLEASE

LET ME CNC MILL A CASE FOR MY 2HE

[harsh dove]

Up to you really, like I said they're good regardless tbh

I haven't had issues with them

All of them are easy to tune

[glacial wind]

man that ego80 price difference between china and aliexpress resellers is quite a lot

like $85 on taobao but $120-140 on ali

but i suppose that's not so new since bone80 is similar upcharge if you don't taobao it

[harsh dove]

50%+ price increase

[glacial wind]

hrm i think i have to list the aliexpress prices for these on my case database

normal person is not using taobao lol

[harsh dove]

Right yeah lol

just put a little asterisk in the corner for "Cheaper on Taobao"

[glacial wind]

yeah i'll put it in notes somewhere

[harsh dove]

[uneven cradle]

I have 3 sets of v2s they are rock solid

[glacial wind]

man whenever i see holy80 i think it's a pity they don't sell it without the holes

it's actually a great looking case outside of those holes

even if you could have the holes but some sort of internal covered cage instead of just the bottom cover option

[uneven cradle]

True does seem like a decent design without the holes could be a solid option, the holes just make the sound so bad it's just a non option for me with them

[harsh dove]

Yeah agreed, if they made a version without the holes, I'd consider, but otherwise I don't care for those Holy cases

Plus the holes just make your keyboard get dirtier faster

[calm pulsar]

seems it is using one of the new plastics from gmk

[harsh dove]

from dust, dirt, hair, etc

[sacred elm]

Unholy

[harsh dove]

honestly, they should do that and name that series "Unholy"

[calm pulsar]

btw cant click on link

[harsh dove]

Like how WiredIn has Protagonist and Antagonist

Holy and Unholy cases

[sacred elm]

You might be on to something

[calm pulsar]

now we need venom and benom

[calm pulsar]

Wooting has Looting

[harsh dove]

I had AI remove the holes, it didn't do too bad lol
It forgot the top/usb side though and it changed the lightbar

It also removed the grooves around the edges lol

Picture I used for reference

[chilly mural]

hmmm, 80he friction fit wen

[glacial wind]

i actually like that weird bevel the ai did around the case top

it probably would get dirty but it looks nice

[harsh dove]

Right lol

It also like chamfered the edges a bit

or well I guess Holy80 already has that

Didn't notice

[calm pulsar]

so its just optimum 80he lol

[glacial wind]

optimum 80he would sell well lol

i think companies try to do too much and forget a lot of folks just want a clean looking case

[fluid ravine]

Tofu 80HE

Frog Biggie 80HE

[chilly mural]

yesh, I wanna see 80he friction fitted

[glacial wind]

i actually like holy80 top mount too since I never care about gasket for HE personally

[fluid ravine]

Does the holy80 come with their own plate?

or do you gotta buy it seperately?

Wondering cus I'm curious about their plate material options

if they have their own

[glacial wind]

you have to buy the plate when you buy the holy80

it's technically $170 but they charge $15 for the plate which is mandatory

[fluid ravine]

mmm

[glacial wind]

they do have plate options though, but you can't buy the holy80 without a plate selected

[fluid ravine]

personally I dont think i would choose a dense plate with top mount

but it's the holy80 though... where there's a lot of holes....

[glacial wind]

i think if you go holy80 sound isn't a priority anymore anyway

[fluid ravine]

that's true

wait what is the holy80 made out of?

[glacial wind]

aluminium

[fluid ravine]

idk why but i keep thinking that the holy series is made out of some plastic

lol

[glacial wind]

there's a bunch of plastic knock offs on aliexpress actually lol

[fluid ravine]

aint no way

lmao

[tawdry tree]

any benefit to RiscV outside of development?

[steady halo]

it's cheaper

[tawdry tree]

so significantly that the customer actually pays less for the board or not rly?

[steady halo]

something like that

like hummingbird68 it's $99 full alu case

https://clickclack.io/products/click-clack-x-kochi-hummingbird68-magnetic-switch-mechanical-keyboard-kit?srsltid=AfmBOooqV51wBYWv0daFgHycfqXekbce5U5zo0eJPp8y1PQzUaj2WCZ3

but it's on sale rn for $49

[tawdry tree]

I have seen exactly 0 reviews about this case

just the glarses vid

[steady halo]

yeah it's not a huge thing

[fallen pecan]

yep

[tawdry tree]

why gat keeps this gap here is beyond me

it’s so sstupid

[harsh dove]

It's the Gat Gap

[tawdry tree]

makes the latch nearly non-function for no reason at all

many manus do that shit too

only outemu and raesha don’t iirc

[calm pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/manus-dark-souls-abyss-gif-23855327

[harsh dove]

TTC don't

[tawdry tree]

true but the latch is still nearly nonfunctional on one side

(same side the gap was in previously)

[harsh dove]

Yeah for the diffuser

Petition to get rid of diffusers

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[tawdry tree]

both raesha and outemus have diffusers too and those latched work (they have proper cutouts next to the latched) but TTCs aren’t hard to pull anyway so it doesn’t really matter

gat and hejin on the other hand..

[calm pulsar]

where do i sign

i can't wait for next poll so i can make shafie buy switch with 3 diffusers

copper FC660C plate

copper and brass plates just suck

[trail bane]

Just let me try m8

[crimson sky]

I mean feel free to, but imo steel and alu are just superior options depending on what you want

[trail bane]

I have no clue what I want so I’m figuring out

[crimson sky]

if it isn't clicky or topre prob not steel

[tropic urchin]

First person I’ve seen that’s liked steel, haven’t heard a good ST with em

[crimson sky]

It is good in certain applications

with Topre you are essentially limited to metallic plates and steel affects sound there positively

+while I like a soft board every now and then modern trend is going a bit too soft (mine but not just my own opinion)

[tropic urchin]

PP plate is kinda fun for poppy feel, but with 80HE silicone it feels borderline keyboard is going to melt soft

[reef oar]

what about a tungsten plate

has anyone made that

[tropic urchin]

Not that I’ve seen

Could maybe ask tom from hype keyboards

Would be a rather exotic plate from the other materials I’ve seen

[reef oar]

it has potential

[tropic urchin]

Never seen a build of one

[reef oar]

we could be striking gold here

i need to stop saying my ideas here fuck

i'm losing trillions

[tropic urchin]

First you have to lose thousands before trillions but point still stands

[calm pulsar]

let's make a rare metal plate that is going to be 3% different from any other metal plates

[reef oar]

i lost thousands on the 2024 euros.

@tawdry tree I got you fam

[chilly mural]

smol

[stray tiger]

I've decided to yank one of my streaming cameras and turn it into a keyboard photo camera and see how I do. I used to photograph my watches and felt like I was decent at it.

I was always more into landscape photography but shooting smaller stuff was fun. Here are some of the watch shots

[tropic urchin]

You’re only missing hookers and blow for these watches @stray tiger /s… joking aside lookin nice 👀

The poker and gun shell pics go hard I will say

[stray tiger]

Aces and Eights are the dead man's hand they say

I do have a lot of cool limited run deskmats I could use in the keyboard photos too

[chilly mural]

damn, nice pic

still blurry on some part, but from afar it looks sick

[stray tiger]

Yeah I just dabbled a bit as landscape and sports was my thing but it was fun

[crimson sky]

it's also quite expensive

[crimson sky]

you say it sounds amazing, is there a soundtest for it somewhere?

[stray tiger]

Not sure. I got to enjoy it in person at a meetup last month. The designer is a r/l friend of mine that lives locally

[crimson sky]

ah

[crimson sky]

keycult was always pricy even for what they deliver

[stray tiger]

You can see it here

[crimson sky]

but there are a LOT of boards I would rather own than that

[stray tiger]

Well you can certainly buy a few boards for the price of one 🙂

[crimson sky]

you could even get a oneoff

including design if you know the right people

[stray tiger]

I have a Keycult 1/65 I picked up recently in a bulk trade with the intent to sell to a friend and ended up keeping it.

[crimson sky]

I tried a couple keycults at meetups and tbh they were all kinda mid to me

[stray tiger]

This one is definitely not mid! Totally surprised me

[crimson sky]

like I would rather have a CCRX than any keycult

[chilly mural]

it kinda looks mid for 1.2k

[crimson sky]

and the CCRX is an open source board that I bought for 250€

[stray tiger]

This one wasn't 1.2k!

[chilly mural]

oh, so how much is it?

[crimson sky]

there also was a 5 unit PC run of this one

[crimson sky]

like 700-900 depending on if it is full alu or not iirc

• caps, switches and stabs

[stray tiger]

I think MSRP was $550 with no extras before shipping.

[crimson sky]

so not 1.2k but like 1 -1.1k if it isn't a garbage config

[chilly mural]

This one I can see the appeal, nice even.

[stray tiger]

https://keycult.com/products/no-1-65

[crimson sky]

nvm I remembered EU price, US price was 715 with a brass mid piece

[crimson sky]

he meant the 1800 I think

[stray tiger]

Ahh yeah $1.2k even the screws are titanium

[crimson sky]

those are by far the easiest to source

since those are made in bulk

I can easily find you screws that are more $/pc

[crimson sky]

that is more than 2 brutal 1800 v2s retail

[crimson sky]

or even 2 diveristies https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=125085

even 2 F1-8X V2s

keycult pricing is just pretty ridiculous for boards that are honestly nothing special

[thorn zealot]

I just remembered many ppl back then said it didn’t sound that good

But who knows

[stray tiger]

I think there is a lot of cultism for the keycults (pun intended). They were one of the best boards you could get before covid and before the hobby blew up. They are still ridiculously well made and the craftsmanship is amazing. I do agree that today there are better boards for the money

Plus you have to remember that the 2 series (2/65 for example) were all made in the US. That carries a premium

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NePFJ1rR43I

[crimson sky]

the F1-8X is older, I would prefer even an OTD 356C or a Koala and those are way older

not saying that keycults (right now) aren't badly made though even that also wasn't the case

[tropic urchin]

That cotton candy snow cone tfue case I NEED FOR 80HE WTF

[crimson sky]

the made in america ones were well known for being somewhat badly made and having straight up bad QC

[crimson sky]

no

[tropic urchin]

I’d sell many body parts for that case

[stray tiger]

Everyone wanted that one lol

[tropic urchin]

That color way is majestic

[tropic urchin]

Yes

[tropic urchin]

5 years too late KEKW

[crimson sky]

it was a oneoff to begin with

[tropic urchin]

If they need a kidney to get it jump started…

It’s time to sell KBDfans on a limited edition GT80

[crimson sky]

that keyboard alone was responsible for so many idiots buying kailh creams

touting them as the greatest switch out there

when stock it is scratchier than mx blacks

[stray tiger]

This never stopped, just the switch changed. Replace creams with tangerines / holy pandas / alpacas / inks, etc

[crimson sky]

I think creams and tangerines were the worst out of those by far

people were buying them for outright stupid prices

[tropic urchin]

it is all you need after all

[crimson otter]

So the Raptor HE V2 switches are sold at https://divinikey.com/products/geon-raptor-he-switches ? Just want to verify before getting scammed. And for an 80HE how many packs of 18 do I need? 5 packs? Thanks!

[thorn zealot]

yes divini good for us

and 5-6 packs is good enough

[crimson otter]

No Amazon ?

[thorn zealot]

no amazon for raptors v2 yet i dont think

[chilly mural]

Yeah!!!!!

[crimson otter]

Thank you!

[harsh dove]

5 Packs and no Divinikey is not a scam, it's a legit website and retailer

[crimson otter]

What's better about them over the Raptor HE V2 ? Was just putting together a build with Raptor V2z

[harsh dove]

He 's just memeing/trolling

[crimson otter]

haha

[calm pulsar]

yeah he's trolling cause raeds better

[polar girder]

lol

[little glen]

thinking if i make knighthuks

i like the bottom out on the duhuks so much more

😭

[calm pulsar]

cause it's louder?

[little glen]

higher pitch

[trail bane]

So, after my fuckup with lubing yesterday, I declare that White Snakes are my second favorite switches after Elf Kings

[tawdry tree]

I saw that! Split space and arrow keys on a 40% 🥰

[fluid ravine]

i couldnt get the same bottom out sound like stock duhuks with rawhukies due to the stem xd

it'll create that strong and sharp bottom out if the magnet of the stem protrudes

if it sits flush then it wont create the same affect

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, it was sarcasm haha

[little glen]

ok so after inspecting both the switches it seems like the magnet on the raptor is a bit further out than on the raw stem, where its recessed into the stem a little

however the bottom of raptor is a bit smaller in diameter and so is the stem

so wobble might be worse

and spring isnt compatible either

so the stem may sound better than raw but wobble is probably worse, especially on bottom out

[tawdry tree]

Gateron Jade Pros compared to BSUN MMD C1s:

[tawdry tree]

Just that the magnet strength throughout the travel is on par with that of Jades, so the compatibility is the same.

[chilly mural]

[slate fox]

ikr, the moment I come back to anything keeb related, so much edging

[kind helm]

i will need to replace raptor v2 with something else at some point i think... unless there is a compatible good 55g spring for it at some point.

[slate fox]

oh ye its 45g right

[kind helm]

ye

[slate fox]

im using 50g raws

havent got any other switches since I got this 80he

[kind helm]

right now i have ti he + geon pingless 55g on salvation60 with fr4. and rawhuk + geon pingless 55g on tofu v2 with alu plate. the raptor v2 is going to be on my leggera, hopefully its a good match.

[misty sapphire]

I love the raws, I tried owlabs and lekkers so far I like the raws the most

[kind helm]

raw holds up pretty well ngl

[slate fox]

holy crap there is a lot of keyboard going on there 😭

[misty sapphire]

This sounds like a foreign language if you don’t know stuff about Keybs

[slate fox]

from the sound tests I keep seeing on here, I feel like the owlab and the raws almost sound similar lol

[kind helm]

too many boards, all of them i love too much to sell

[misty sapphire]

Nah, not at all. Owlabs are closed bottom. Louder more of a clack sound

[kind helm]

yeee, raw has that unique leaky sound to it

[misty sapphire]

idk how to word it

but raws + pbt caps on a deskmat sounded great to me

[kind helm]

same

[misty sapphire]

abs keycaps sound kinda icky and shine to quickly for my excessive use. but boy do they look pretty

i got these pbtfans xray and because the top plastic is clear, with the backlight of the 80he on like 30-40% it mines the entire cap glow. idk how to capture it on camera but it looks really good. way better than pudding keycaps

[kind helm]

i need abs caps, pbt is too slippery for me now like i probably dont notice it that much in use, but i switch between boards it feels like a imperfection to me LOL

[misty sapphire]

the wooting doubleshot pbt caps are really grippy i like them alot

[kind helm]

yeee that set is pretty cool

[misty sapphire]

although some caps have holes in them that shine through because of the molding process

can see it on the B and D

[kind helm]

interesting, that i didnt know

[tropic urchin]

It takes a few months before you notice the GMK shine which gives you better grip

[night atlas]

What is that "scissor" piece for in terms of function?? I can't wrap my already-smooth brain around it

[misty sapphire]

i got some matt white nailpolish to put in it, i dont have a brush small enough to fit in it nicely but it does solve it

the shift key has those holes to, cant see it cuz the nailpolish on the inside

[kind helm]

my gmk and keykobo sets feel pretty good

[tropic urchin]

For new GMK anyway

[misty sapphire]

what plastic does GMK use?

[kind helm]

i think its been a few months now

[tropic urchin]

ABS typically

[kind helm]

i dont remember how long ago i brought them

[tropic urchin]

I think there’s a few PBT GMK sets but I could be wrong

[misty sapphire]

i got a pbtfans dark retro light and they shined within 3 months on the spacebar

they did look cool tho

[kind helm]

iirc its a ratio thing, when it says abs/pbt doesnt mean it use only abs or pbt, its like some formula in my understanding.

i remember dear mr mj yapping about that long time ago

[misty sapphire]

possibly, but abs just tends to wear quicker than pbt in general

[stoic ocean]

Anyone tested the jerrzi ruyi switch ?

[kind helm]

me like, its like fun but not crazy

LOL

[misty sapphire]

i ended up switching out all the colored caps for the stock black/grey ones

[misty sapphire]

these are semi transparent to, it looked really cool in natural light rooms. it was barely visable in dimly lit rooms th

i cant really capture it irl how these xray caps look. but the way the entire cap lights up in cool as hell in real life

[stoic ocean]

Look like cloud

[misty sapphire]

oh wow that compressed really badly

[kind helm]

https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-up-internet-computer-good-funny-gif-3551491

[misty sapphire]

kinda, theres a glowing cloudy sheen over every cap

[kind helm]

i have to say i personally dont fck with rgb because its kinda distracting to me

but

hey you know me, daring everyday

ah~ does look fun though when you are just chilling

[tropic urchin]

Just like when….. REDACTED

[kind helm]

i do like some soft grow from time to time on my wooting, but i get bored of it hella fast.

[misty sapphire]

i do want some thockier deeper sounding switches ngl

[tawdry tree]

I like 60% and 40% equally in terms of aesthetics but I never truly gave 40%s a shot in terms of function so not sure how I’d actually like them.

[misty sapphire]

i usually have it on 20-30%

100% makes my keycaps turn into flashbangs'

ah hell no macbook butterfly keyboard flashbacks

[night atlas]

Ohhh interesting

[tawdry tree]

haha, exactly like those yeah

[night atlas]

it looks innovative

[misty sapphire]

its another point of failure

[tawdry tree]

prob only gonna be “looks”

lol

[misty sapphire]

one that is known to fail because its what laptop keyboards use

[night atlas]

ya that's what i was thinking lol

oh yea I didn't even make that connection

just to play devil's advocate, maybe it's different as most laptops use membranes

[misty sapphire]

no they use membranes, with those on top of them

[kind helm]

imo a goated rgb board

[night atlas]

would be a shitty part to lose if u were lubing

[kind helm]

by asmos

[night atlas]

yea that's what i meant

[tawdry tree]

I think at best the performance increase is so minimal that you wouldn’t even notice and at worst, a rattle, wobbly mess

[misty sapphire]

and they are fragile

[misty sapphire]

fucking ufo? sick

[kind helm]

the man engraved it too, check next to the arrow keys

[night atlas]

Are there regular mech switches w/that additional stabilizing feature?

[tawdry tree]

yeah, there was one for ROG by the same manufacturer iirc

but no clue if it did well

[night atlas]

did they leave this server??

[tawdry tree]

not even sure if it was actually released already

[night atlas]

dude was the goat

[kind helm]

idk probably just want to save money like i did

LOL

[night atlas]

he's largely responsible for me trying and buying switches

LOL

bro shipped me like 7 diff switches

fo free 🥲

[kind helm]

[night atlas]

yea he was super goated

[night atlas]

feel this

thankfully most of the switches i've bought were no more than like 40-50 for 70 pcs

[kind helm]

all i am saying is i saved 2000 dollars for the time that i left the server

[night atlas]

LOL

knowing myself I woulda found some other bullshit to spend it on

[tawdry tree]

past tense?!

[night atlas]

u right, he was and still currently is goated

[misty sapphire]

i have spend so much on random springs, switches just to try im down adleast 400 euro

[tawdry tree]

he’s also still with us @quasi hinge

[kind helm]

yep happening to me, but thankfully my other hobby doesnt require this much money

[night atlas]

wtf i thought he left LMAO tried searching for his name

[tawdry tree]

haha

[night atlas]

fair, i always buy a new pack of springs w/every switch purchase

[night atlas]

also the way u worded this seems like he's dead and is with us spiritually

gonna rock a memorial asdasmos shirt

in solidarity

[misty sapphire]

I’m probably gonna stick with the geon raws until I find something deeper sounding or more quiet muted sound

[kind helm]

deeper, more muted -> raeds

[night atlas]

The UR ice sakuras (and other color variations) were pretty low pitched

I love em

[tawdry tree]

@glacial wind not sure how long the deal lasts but you should get them if you haven’t already

Now that’s a link

[night atlas]

I see that they sell from KP republic as well

yea sorry for this shitty link lmao

[tawdry tree]

Those too @misty sapphire and they’re really cheap rn

(unless you’re from the US)

[kind helm]

its a pretty different switch compare to raw though

[tropic urchin]

The trick is to remove from “?…….” Onwards after html

[misty sapphire]

Different how so? Besides looks

[night atlas]

goat

[kind helm]

the feel would be more tactile

[night atlas]

is there anyone in here that actually "mains" raeds?

[kind helm]

dear mr aligner can you explain, i need to cook

[tawdry tree]

Also, here’s a sound test of many different switches (not Raeds though): #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[tawdry tree]

No. :(

[tropic urchin]

Raeds just sound like a very stock $5 keyboard and are wobbly from Gothixk’s test

[kind helm]

wasnt there one guy who loved them and tried them on like different boards when it just came out

[tropic urchin]

It’s like there’s nothing to every keypress, not much sound gets transmitted, but it’s a more experimental option for HE

[tawdry tree]

I know a couple people who main them but not here

oh actually

willyum might still be maining them

[tropic urchin]

Those wiggly teeth wobble was tuff seeing

[kind helm]

yeee thats the guy i was talkin bout

[night atlas]

Wondering what I do w/my duhuk switches, I don't have raws anymore

is there any cool frankenswitches w/duhuks

[tropic urchin]

Same thing as the RAWs probably

[tawdry tree]

ah, yeah. he was (and maybe still is) a

[night atlas]

wait what

[tropic urchin]

As in you sold/got rid of them

[tawdry tree]

You can use an open bottom with duhuks, that gets you a really quiet sound but it’s not for anyone (especially not for clack enjoyers)..

[night atlas]

Hm, I prefer closed bottoms. I just didn't like the top out

So I'm thinking that I'm mostly looking for an ample stem to swap

[harsh dove]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message Raeds on 80HE

[kind helm]

did you get any new boards after leggera lol

[tawdry tree]

Then duhuks aren’t really worth it I think. You could get Raw HEs again and stem swap, or Ti HEs.

Or Ice Ultras

[harsh dove]

Besides Protagonist, no

[night atlas]

Ohhh I'm saying I already have them, but essentially want to breath life in em again by making a frankenswitch

[kind helm]

just remember the tariff issue after i asked, fair

[tawdry tree]

Yeah haha, I meant they aren’t really worth to keep I think but you could get a few of some other switches and try it out

[night atlas]

ok i see wym now LOL

[fluid ravine]

titon when

[harsh dove]

I'm chillin for now, I enjoy boards vicariously thru Tirade

[tawdry tree]

realest.

[fluid ravine]

@harsh dove did you get raptor yet?

[harsh dove]

Nah

[fluid ravine]

Has the Tikken Thikken in order for the Titton Thokken

[fluid ravine]

eta? or not yet

[night atlas]

I was about to cop the raptor v2s but the tariffs were basically having me pay around 100 total for 70 switches

[kind helm]

while he handles the pain of tariff

[harsh dove]

Haven't ordered them yet @fluid ravine

[fluid ravine]

mbmb

whoops LOL

[tropic urchin]

Damn straight is your bad king

GET OUT

[fluid ravine]

man i hope your top pros dont get shipped

i hope it falls out of the van

jkjk

[tropic urchin]

Okay I take it back 🥀

[fluid ravine]

LMAOOO

[tropic urchin]

Don’t put that evil on me

[cyan lark]

Jeez that's... you know the man's been edged

[humble surge]

this price scaling 🙃

[slate fox]

@kind helm now it’s arriving tomorrow for me

[tawdry tree]

get these instead: #🔧│keyboard_modding message 🔥

[humble surge]

Wanted to get both

The scaling is proper on that

[stray tiger]

Good price. I bought 70 to try them out at that price

[tawdry tree]

it’s early bird discount so they’d be more pricey normally

[humble surge]

Thats not the point

[tawdry tree]

tariff isn’t an issue?

[humble surge]

The price on the other doesn't scale as it should to the switch amount

[tawdry tree]

hmm

[humble surge]

On these it is more or less accurate

[tawdry tree]

oh lol

it’d be cheaper to buy 11 of those 10pcs

than 110?
