[fluid ravine]

damnit

this is rather gonna be interesting

[tropic urchin]

Round stems are better than POM stem but MX stem is coming for them

In terms of top wobble and not cool airyness

[fluid ravine]

MX stems is the pikachu of the HE switch era

raptor v2 is THAT pikachu as of right now

[jade storm]

ggez

[tawdry tree]

MX round stem is next

instead of that rectangle

[glacial wind]

so i spent some time today just really looking into the raptor housing and seeing what makes it so tight wobble wise

it's nothing to do with only the top housing from what I can see (top housing + stem by itself is way looser than a lot of competitors)

so somehow it's all just bottom housing tolerance that are way tighter

[fluid ravine]

The hekkk

[glacial wind]

i'm actually curious on these tolerances because i found nothing 'extra' in the switch that would make it more stable than any of the other mx stem switches i have

[chilly mural]

The Geon magic

[sacred elm]

Then how's the top wobble so good 🤨

[glacial wind]

that's what I was trying to figure out

[calm pulsar]

by grace of Geon the stem is guided

it wobbles only if you don't believe

[glacial wind]

i think it's purely from the rail tolerance on the bottom housing + stem and maybe the stem tolerance going into the magnet hole

I do notice the housing surrounding the circle magnet area goes all the way to the bottom of the stem vs. 2/3 of the way on the owlab switches

I wonder if it uses that to help make it tighter overall or if it’s purely just rail fitting with stem tolerances

[sacred elm]

You still haven't noticed any friction right?

[glacial wind]

no friction yet from what i've noticed. But i do worry that friction could occur if it's purely incredibly tight tolerances

[chilly mural]

try make it dry

[sacred elm]

Geon cooked

[fluid ravine]

Owlab stem?

[chilly mural]

yep

[glacial wind]

yeah

[trail bane]

Getting my fluxes today

[tawdry tree]

Pole guide for sure. It’s the same thing on the Astrolinks. There are some frankens too that you can achieve the same thing with but all result in slight friction at bottom out.

I’ll see what happens when I put a Raptor HE V2 stem in an Astrolink housing when I get them.

Also, with friction in the pole guide, adding lube only helps so much if the bottom is completely flat. After a while the lube sags to the bottom and you get a sticky bottom out.

Hejin had those nipples in the bottom so more lube can accumulate without causing issues.

For the Astros and V2s, lube might leak out before it can accumulate, not sure yet.

[glacial wind]

yeah that's why I worry a bit about long term friction on the v2. We'll see though, no friction issues yet on mine

[serene lance]

Hey ive recently bought a wooting and want to mod it any tips on modding it?

[glacial wind]

start out small with mods. Switches and keycaps are what most people do first time, and maybe stabilizer lubing if you have any stabilizer keys that rattle

[oak jewel]

[glossy pagoda]

How do they taste?

[oak jewel]

[tawdry tree]

They have to beat Fluxies for sure

and they’re probably not making many of them

JERRZI Wind on Ali: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EHIWHHs

[sinful arch]

Loving the raptors btw. Never really got into keyboard modding but there's a huge difference between the wobble of my current switches and those raptor v2s

Got to buy 50 more though for the rest of the keyboard

[analog mulch]

raptor v2 vs scratchy feeling geon raw? which is better ? i like a more muted sound aswell

[glacial wind]

Check pins, there’s a sound test with raptor and geon in same test

[tawdry tree]

JERRZI with the instant recolor, what a time to be alive: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJIkzJk

[trail bane]

Dafaq is this packaging

@tawdry tree df did you recommend me to buy

[glacial wind]

That’s standard mini pack they love to use on aliexpress

[tawdry tree]

I still use a keycap puller like that, in combination with the TX puller lmao

[trail bane]

Still funny though imagine ordering just one switch and they give you a huge box for it.

[tawdry tree]

You paid the price, so of course.

[trail bane]

It doesn’t work like in your video 😭

[tawdry tree]

Fluxies are luxury switches man.

[trail bane]

You’re bcamer

[tawdry tree]

That’s not the TX puller brother

just cheap puller that works well

[trail bane]

Yeah i know

Maybe next time

[tawdry tree]

Only TX works like TX

[glacial wind]

they have one slightly smaller too

They love giving those plastic keycap pullers. I have like 10 of those now that I threw out lol

[trail bane]

Maybe I just don’t order that much small stuff from ali

[trail bane]

I had about 10 plastic ones and another 14 combined ones, and I gave almost all of them to my friends

[glacial wind]

I do have to say I love the absurdly overbuilt tx keycap puller

I literally never use it for anything else but it is very nice for pulling keycaps without ever worrying about scratching them

[fallen pecan]

promo vid of the upcoming tmr board with rgbw LEDs

[tawdry tree]

Something new, something interesting, I like it.

[little glen]

I used to pull an mx switch, worked great

And i also opened some raptors with it

[tawdry tree]

Keycap puller and MX switch opener is the only thing it’s good at.

[tidal frigate]

Why it looks like apple ad

[trail bane]

North(left) hand lubed, south(right) factory lubed

Sorry guys I’m so eepy that i even can’t put keycap on switch on the first try

Drinking second cup of coffee rn

[trail bane]

Not today🥀

[tawdry tree]

same

not gonna order just keysnap

I do think they could be something for the OW60

maybe just maybe

@glacial wind you’ll try them yeah?

[sinful arch]

Thx, just ordered the rest of my missing switches!

What's the point of the 'window' at the bottom though? All pictures I see they have them installed with that said window at the bottom. But aren't most LEDs at the top on the pcb?

[round sparrow]

you can turn the switch around

some people have southfacing led's

[sinful arch]

Thought so. Thanks!

[glacial wind]

Sure I’ll add it to my next geon order. I have to test some stuff with ow60 anyway

[tidal frigate]

Are you getting new ow60?

[glacial wind]

yeah I need to grab one to check compatibility things

i think optimum looks nicer though, at least with the keycaps i'm using

and i don't really use flexy stuff for personal setup so the owlab toggle isn't very useful for me

[tidal frigate]

Do you have good luck?

[glossy pagoda]

Luck is not required and you insinuating otherwise is not appreciated.

[trail bane]

So, in context POM vs Flux:

[tidal frigate]

Well qc issues on ow60 are worse than chances on roullete soo..

[sacred elm]

So you betrayed POM church, I see you.

[trail bane]

But newest switches like helios, or elf kings shots fluxies

[sacred elm]

Very based

[trail bane]

https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-less-but-better

less but better

doesn't suit the set

[chilly mural]

The shade feels like it could match 60hev2 silver

[glossy pagoda]

No, they are not. Your limited perspective from a sample size of fewer than half a dozen units gives you a perverse expectation and brigading with this notion that the product is rife with QC issues is both factually wrong and offensive. Stop.

Furthermore, irrespective of any possible defect that could be experienced on arrival or for the duration of the warranty period, Wooting stands by their products fully and completely.
I will not tolerate you suggesting anything to the contrary.

[misty sapphire]

Any switch recommendations for me? Im using the geon raws right now but id like something more quiet and or deeper. i wasnt to big of a fan of the owlab switches

[sacred elm]

Wait for Lekker Tikken

[misty sapphire]

do they have a estimated date yet? i wasnt to big of a fan on the l60/45s. very wobbly

i will a 100% try those regardless because i like the 4mm travel for the gamepad stuff

[sacred elm]

Q4. Tikkens will be way better than L60/45

[misty sapphire]

good to know, still produced by the same factory aswell? iirc they also made the geon raws and those are fine

[sacred elm]

Wobble is similar to Owlab/Geon Raw switches.

[sacred elm]

Yes

Sound test - #🔧│keyboard_modding message

Wobble comparison - #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[misty sapphire]

these are honestly fine to me

[sacred elm]

They will be quieter for you if you are using PC plate.

[misty sapphire]

those do sound good in that video ngl

[misty sapphire]

pc is what comes stock on the 80he right? i havent bothered to replace it to be honest. i quite like the sound of it currently

[sacred elm]

Yes, PC plate is stock.

[misty sapphire]

ill keep my eyes open for the tikkens then. any other recommendations? seeing alot of praise on those raptor v2s here

[surreal idol]

guys do you know how can i get 20 gram springs in germany?

[sacred elm]

Ice Ultra has deeper sound than all the switches in the picture

You can try them.

[misty sapphire]

aliexpress has them really cheap

[sacred elm]

Except silent switches, ofc.

[surreal idol]

i looked all over could not find, lightest was 35

[misty sapphire]

wooting sells these, start on 20 end on 35

[sacred elm]

20g bottom out?

[misty sapphire]

they work in alot of switches iirc

[surreal idol]

yes

[sacred elm]

I don't think you can get springs with 20g bottom out force

That's just too light 😆

[surreal idol]

😞

[misty sapphire]

you notice the activation force the most, id just try the 20g start 35 end switches

[misty sapphire]

im used to 35-45gr and these were to light to me even after a week of using them daily

[surreal idol]

i am in a situation where i tend to hold the button often but i cant put on toggle

i have the jade prob

pro

[misty sapphire]

these work with the jade pros, correct me if im wrong

[sacred elm]

Jade Pro has 50g springs. Try L35 from Wooting.

[surreal idol]

ah will do

[misty sapphire]

they are very cheap 😄

[sacred elm]

You also need switch opener to swap out springs

[misty sapphire]

some people also tend to relube when they swap springs since some is lost

not sure if its needed at all tho

[sacred elm]

Yeah, Lekker springs are dry and lubing them is a good idea.

[misty sapphire]

what i did when i swapped the springs on my geons for lighter ones was i put a little bit on both ends before putting it in the switch

saw someone on youtube do that and it has worked well since

[sacred elm]

Yep, you can do that with 205g0 or just bag lube with GPL105

[misty sapphire]

i used the switchlube from wootings site, its what i had on hand.

[reef oar]

selling switches in sets of 18 pisses me off

[prime orbit]

Anyone know of divinikey discount codes?

Also which switch puller would yall do?

[thorn zealot]

i only know the ones when u first make an acc and the ones after u order 😭

[prime orbit]

Shiii

Fair

[tropic urchin]

Wuque all day and night

[prime orbit]

Bet

[night atlas]

agree

[prime orbit]

Ez

[chilly mural]

72, should be enough for 60%

[reef oar]

i'd have bought them if shipping wasn't more than the switches themselves

i'm just gonna wait for some eu stock

[prime orbit]

I got 64

18 x 4…

[chilly mural]

????

[prime orbit]

Wait

I’m retarded

Hold on

BRO

Nah nah

I meant to do this

[chilly mural]

are you mistaking 18 for 16

[prime orbit]

No…..

Maybe

[chilly mural]

I know my own numbers, there's no fucking way 18x4= 64

[prime orbit]

Either way

[tropic urchin]

time to search up the free windows calculator

[prime orbit]

I just lied on bros name

😭

[steel timber]

it's okay, you give free 8 ea

it will be 64

[prime orbit]

Well I had to get 4 anyway

If I got 3 I would’ve been 6 short

@sacred elm I’ll fight u

[chilly mural]

it's fine, got enough still

[reef oar]

and THAT'S why selling sets of 18 pisses me off

it's like the uhhhh

destiny battle pass thing

[prime orbit]

Forces u to get more than u need

Yeah

[reef oar]

costs 1200 silver but you can only buy 1100

[sacred elm]

Seems like you fought with a calculator already

[prime orbit]

[thorn zealot]

true with most games

[prime orbit]

Quitting

I’m retiring

Shafie is my #1 opp always

[tropic urchin]

wouldnt you want a few extra switches in case you fuck up one

[sacred elm]

[reef oar]

yeah

but like

[prime orbit]

I’d rather buy 65 than 72 lol

[reef oar]

12 extra is crazy

i buy one extra

[tropic urchin]

for how cheap the switches are thats negligible ong

[prime orbit]

But the point is

I decide

[chilly mural]

uhm, acktualy, $2.8 is enough to feed a child in Africa for a day

[prime orbit]

Is inflation not a thing over there?

I can’t even feed myself with $2

[cyan lark]

Gateron puller clears 💅

[tropic urchin]

that gets pocketed by the organizations to do what they want to, next question unc

[tropic urchin]

ew gateron user in chat

[reef oar]

careful saying the g word, it's blacklisted here now

[prime orbit]

What did gateron do this time

😭💀

[chilly mural]

in certain places you can, just gotta look

[tropic urchin]

its what they didnt do is the issue

[cyan lark]

I've yet to hear anything negative about that puller from anybody that has actually used one xD

[chilly mural]

maybe an airplane ticket or 2

[prime orbit]

Hmmmm

Only thing I’m upset about is the FROG BEING OUT OF STOCK FOR YEARS NOW

[tropic urchin]

nice secret vape pen bro

real discrete

[cyan lark]

But nah I quit last year 💪

[chilly mural]

yay, more money for keyboard

[prime orbit]

When did knight v4 come out??

I missed 3 and 4 now

[cyan lark]

I know I heard 3 had some issues w/ wire fit, maybe 4 is to fix that? 🤷

[tropic urchin]

if you have knights already i dont think the V3/V4 is worth upgrading to

iirc just minor upgrades

[prime orbit]

I got the v2

[tropic urchin]

i do too, you're prob fine just keeping those

[prime orbit]

Yeah but I get fomo hence the raptor v2 buy

[cyan lark]

Switch desires are semi legitimate, if you have Knights I don't think you're gonna need to touch your stabs unless there's a sea change in design.

[prime orbit]

Bet

[tropic urchin]

as someone thats tried nearly 75-80% of meta switches, raptors are my favorite for feel + sound combo

best all arounder stability + clean sound instead of large trade off for either best sound or boxstem wobble

[prime orbit]

That’s what I’ve heard for most

[tropic urchin]

honestly the new raptors are what the jade pros would've been if they were good

they're quiet and almost thocky

[chilly mural]

Geon raw level sound with POM stability, while cheap. Basically leaves POM to the dust especially for people that like sound and lube.

[tropic urchin]

yeah its quite good

same snappy feel as POM which i have been missing for a while

first switch that has come close to flux feel but without any QC issues

[wild merlin]

When

[little glen]

this week

[trail bane]

[trail bane]

||@sacred elm|| Update: still meta, it so fucking good

[stray tiger]

Wonder if the issue with the spacebar stab wire popping out when removing keycaps sometimes was addressed. I know its not on the list of changes

[sacred elm]

Yeah, I liked it more than POM spacebar

[trail bane]

So fr

[trail bane]

Oh god, I remembered when that happened to me on my old keyboard without hotswap, it was terrible

[stray tiger]

Oh yeah even worse on solder boards lol. With the V3's Ive been using the Geon wires with them instead of the stock wire. Hopefully that's fixed in V4

[tropic urchin]

Get out the flux betterest meme POM boi

[cyan lark]

Putting fluxes on my spacebar would cost more than my entire keyboard and computer setup combined for the last 15 years

[calm pulsar]

accurate estimation

[tropic urchin]

If $20 costs more than your entire keyboard and computer setup, are you sure you’re not using a MAD60 by any chance

[cyan lark]

Funny, I'm doing my first cost estimation/negotiation w/ a software contractor like right now

1x flux for my spacebar would still be more than the tens of thousands a year we're gonna be spending to monitor our systems

[calm pulsar]

just ask for a couple of fluxies

[cyan lark]

I think they call that a "kickback"

[trail bane]

Too late, now I’m 100% sure that I’m buying GMK Copper fr

[thorn zealot]

[tropic urchin]

Keebmat is kinda interesting

I don’t notice a sound difference but the elevation doesn’t make my arm feel cramped anymore

[trail bane]

Copper plate🌹

[tropic urchin]

Might be placebo but I’ve noticed I move my keyboard around a lot less

[trail bane]

Fuck these mofo, they trolled me

[harsh dove]

Fluxes give me PTSD and Depression

Terrible Launch/Marketing, Overpriced, Not as good as they were claimed to be, skipped leg day, bad QC

[cyan lark]

Good investment vehicle though

I still wanna try them but I’m still working my way through my first mortgage

[austere creek]

easy fix. buy another house and take out a mortgage on it

[tropic urchin]

Bro didn’t even pay for it sybau

If anyone should feel PTSD or depression it’s me and @sacred elm

For being 2/5 that bought it MSRP

Smh

[tropic urchin]

If you paid for it you might’ve gotten leg day fluxies

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/nods-yes-not-wrong-its-true-story-valid-point-gif-14782869

[tropic urchin]

[harsh dove]

Yeah they sent me the ones that skipped QC (if there was any QC)

[tropic urchin]

The only switches that have come close to fluxies feel for me are the new raptors

Better wobble and nicer spring take the cake for me

[harsh dove]

Yeah for the record I still think Fluxes are decent sound, just a lil list of issues

[tropic urchin]

I wish raptors were a tiny bit louder

It’s so weird going from flux to raptor but the feel is there

[tropic urchin]

Xenns top pro my beloved 🌹

[kind helm]

thats fancy af

noice

[tropic urchin]

I had the original tops but the left earbud stopped working and now I’m reunited with the newest iteration

They also fit better than my astrals which I was not anticipating

[cloud pivot]

paid top dollar for vintage first day fluxes

that’s a W

[tropic urchin]

I could’ve had them day 1 of 30% off discount but I stubbornly didn’t want them then

That being said my legs are all in tact

I broke more owlab clips than anything with fluxies 🤓

@sacred elm told me to get them and I told him to fuck off essentially

Then FOMOed myself into getting them before liberation day

That being said I think I used them most between jade pro/POM days

[kind helm]

not a huge difference compare to ti he

45g feels so light after getting used to 55g

ewww

but yea sounds pretty gud hehe

acrylic leggera, pp, raptor v2, pbt

[tropic urchin]

The big difference is the bottom wobble

[kind helm]

yea this thing is not movin

[tropic urchin]

Owlab moves quite a bit

Raptor is within 90% of TTC POM

That’s the main selling point, having better top wobble than boxstem and having its bottom wobble be close to 90% with the current stability kings

Without sounding like ass too

[humble surge]

anyone got their C1s yet?

[kind helm]

i think it is gud if you dont already have ti he or rawhuk

but its meh when i have both :3

personal opinion

[tropic urchin]

Not allowed

Get out

[kind helm]

not allowed?

wait til you hear my other opinions

[tropic urchin]

Can’t you read unc smh

[tropic urchin]

I’m sure automod is listening closely

[kind helm]

i need to cook soon but i may try to put some pingless spring in there later

definitely not a bad switch, just nothing too speical imo

price is decent too

[cloud pivot]

def buy as first foray into aftermarket HE switches

[kind helm]

anyone remembers whats the deadzone on jade pro for wooting?

[tropic urchin]

You talking the travel?

forgot to bring my wooting to my friend last time i went to cali, so i still have it, feel like changing the settings on it to match my other boards but i dont remember whats the deadzone for jade pro

[tawdry tree]

If there’s a chance of receiving a defective unit, then insinuating that you have to be lucky is true. Normally, you wouldn’t call a 97% chance “luck”, but if you happen to fall into the 3% who get a defective unit, it makes sense to feel that way.

When over 3% of units end up defective despite going through QC, it means either Owlab’s QC standards differ significantly from Woot’s, or that there are QC issues.

The chance of getting a defective OW60 is low, but technically still higher than the lowest odds on a roulette wheel. So yes, Jakub’s wording might overstate the scope of QC issues, but considering he’s part of that unlucky 3%, his frustration is completely understandable.

Jakub’s comment wasn’t an attack or a jab, it wasn’t even critical of Woot at all. I’m not sure why you took offense to it. You know he received a defective unit, so responding in a hostile way seems uncalled for. In my opinion, it would’ve been a lot better to point out the improvements Owlab and Woot have made in the second batch rather than respond like this.

[kind helm]

[humble surge]

Wanted to look at dust covers again, but now AliExpress won't load pages at any link :(

[kind helm]

you havent got it?

[humble surge]

I get paid next week, so i guess we mass ordering more switches/caps/case then.

[tawdry tree]

Nope, not yet.

[kind helm]

damn i didnt expect myself to be one of the early ones to have it

feels gud man

[tawdry tree]

No friction issues?

(yet)

[kind helm]

describe it?

[humble surge]

like wuts goin on

[tawdry tree]

The Astrolinks had a bit of friction and scratchiness

throughout the press

[tawdry tree]

lol

clear cache maybe?

[kind helm]

emmm so it doesn't sound as clean to me compare to ti he, but but but it is really smo difference

[humble surge]

Already done

[kind helm]

and i think it should be gone once i use them for like idk a week to a month

but key press wise i dont feel anything

[fluid ravine]

Should I get em?

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

Naaaa
**Should I get them? **

[kind helm]

honestly?

[fluid ravine]

[kind helm]

no

[fluid ravine]

Yes

Ok

[thorn zealot]

no and stick to mx duhhh

[kind helm]

i think if you get them then you gotta care a lot about the wobble

sound wise its not a big difference to me

[fluid ravine]

Bet

Thanks for feedback

btw do you want jade pro? since i got raptor now i probably can just put my raws on the wooting board

you can take the jade pro

just pay the shipping

[fluid ravine]

How much shipping?

[kind helm]

idk

[fluid ravine]

Cus im trying to save moni for DAC rn

[kind helm]

yeee maybe not then, because i feel like geon the goat at some point will save us once more with long springs

since raptor v2 has longer than 15mm spring

[tidal frigate]

Well you got two defective units

From what I understand owlab was told to recheck the cut outs on the incoming back, so we’ll see how their qc is for this batch

[thorn zealot]

Ur fine

The techs are prob much better than daybreaks

[tropic urchin]

[thorn zealot]

And def better than hexas

[tropic urchin]

They would be a good top pro test if he likes those

[tidal frigate]

Well atleast there is few variations of cut outs they made

That were posted on discord

[tulip rapids]

Yes. Spend money

[slow wagon]

Guys any silent hall effect switch?

[tropic urchin]

silent is at the bottom

[tawdry tree]

That’s it?

[tawdry tree]

Wait for these to be on Ali, I expect them to be worth the wait: #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[glacial wind]

Wooting doesn’t make the cases. We do give feedback and tell them what we think needs to improve but we don’t control their production

[tropic urchin]

cant have it all king

[tulip rapids]

one day i will have clear top housing and they will be called jade dragon emperor switches and it will have that DEEP clack

[tawdry tree]

Obviously but Woot didn’t get feedback about just the silicone pieces being cut by hand. 😭

Except we did

We gave all that feedback

Best we can do is keep asking for better qc and tell them what we’re not happy with and needs to be fixed

[tawdry tree]

Except my thread then. 🥀

[tulip rapids]

i hope theres no stem wobble on tikkens

i need it to be TIGHT

https://tenor.com/view/tight-tight-gif-6396435647108975705

[glacial wind]

Wooting folks have read your threads

Just because you don’t always get official replies doesn’t mean the feedback isn’t read

[tawdry tree]

I know, in my thread I list the silicone pieces being cut by hand as the minor issue.

So if just that was communicated to Owlab, I don’t know if they’ll actually fix the problem.

Or attempt to fix the problem rather.

[glacial wind]

we’ll have to see. I do know that the delay in batch 2 being sold was because we requested every unit be unpacked and rechecked but we don’t control that end fully as that’s on owlab side

[tawdry tree]

Was the second batch completely done already?

[glacial wind]

I’m not sure on the exact timeline there. I just know that it got delayed because of it

[tawdry tree]

Are you gonna get a unit from the second batch?

[glacial wind]

Yeah, I didn’t request a unit yet because I didn’t want to take stock from the limited extras we have for replacements etc

[tawdry tree]

Alright

[ruby hill]

Manufactured by hejin or hmx?

[glacial wind]

if you want super super tight go with raptors. The tikkens are roughly around owlab level tightness

tone wise i think they fall roughly somewhere between owlab for that very bright clack and tikkens for the deeper side of clack

[tawdry tree]

It is, but it isn’t released yet.

[earnest adder]

hm actually they may release it with the tofu v3

[tawdry tree]

They haven’t said a thing about it yet afaik

It’ll probably release soonTM

[earnest adder]

probably next month

[tawdry tree]

Steelseries doesn’t know anything about designing keyboards, wow!

[austere creek]

thatll hold well in there

with half the hooks not even being hooked onto anything poor switch

[tawdry tree]

and it’ll stress the keycap pole too

gotta love split poles 🥰

[fallen pecan]

flux recolor with different pa66 bottom, marketing says it sounds deeper, closer to a mech switch

marketing mumbo jumbo

[sacred elm]

Ok but did they fix magnets

[fallen pecan]

no mention of that

[languid kestrel]

wait why is this an issue

[stoic ocean]

Is for azrty keyboard no?

I think is normal

[languid kestrel]

the hell man 💀

[tawdry tree]

The “+” of switches isn’t symmetrical, so you shouldn’t rotate them by 90° which is the case here. A switch rotated by 90° will put stress on the keycap pole potentially splitting it. Also, most switches don’t have hooks to hold them on the side, so they’d be much less secure in this.

[languid kestrel]

sounds like a design issue ngl but I see

[tawdry tree]

It’s designed by someone who doesn’t know anything about keyboards for sure. You know that the ISO switch is supposed to be sideways after one search lol

[stoic ocean]

I understand what are u talking about

The switch hole need bé oriented EST or west not north on south like that

[tawdry tree]

Yep, for ISO enter

[stoic ocean]

Idk how to explain but yeah i see the problem they are acoustic bro

[tawdry tree]

If they were acoustic they would’ve done it right

[stoic ocean]

But they created the magnetic switch ?

[tawdry tree]

Steelseries, yeah

[stoic ocean]

Acoustic 50/50

[tawdry tree]

not sure if it was the initiative of steelseries or gateron tho

[stoic ocean]

They are so dumb why they dont put a license something like that

And they are the onlybrand can use this system

[tawdry tree]

Oh they did

lmao

Well

The idea wasn’t new

so I don’t think a patent like that would’ve worked

(they prob tried)

[trail bane]

Worth $2.3

[stoic ocean]

@tawdry tree what do you prefer vella or cloudnine

I dont watch the price is just a number like the other one's for me know

[tawdry tree]

Vella for me I think

[sacred elm]

Unionwell 👑 of recolors

[tawdry tree]

ye vella by a long shot

much cleaner imo

[stoic ocean]

I will go on this because u are not acoustic like steelseries and i like u bro

[chilly mural]

Rest in peace

[vivid star]

How does the Raptor V2 compare to the Ultra Ice in terms of sound and feel? Is it louder or quieter, more clacky or thocky, and does the keystroke feel sluggish when pressed on the edge of the keycap?

[stoic ocean]

Someone maked a sound test but i cant found it srry

[toxic surge]

more clacky and as far as i know not sluggish

[toxic surge]

what kinda switch are u looking for?

clacky or deeper?

"thocky"

i think the ultra ice are the deepest sounding

[cyan lark]

Geon also made RAWs, tho

Nobody's perfect

[kind helm]

45g long spring, smo wobble, close bottom, reasonable price

raw was a massive step up from jade and lekker

Something that is slightly quieter than Ultra Ice, and sort of muted/thockier (Sound as close as possible to Vertex V1)

[thorn zealot]

Wait for tikken then

[peak breach]

Raws at the time were goated

[cyan lark]

They sounded great, but they had sticking issues and self destructed as soon as you touched them.

[peak breach]

Compared to what we had back then they were good

Good price good sound

[tulip rapids]

Depends are you open minded?

[ionic breach]

[cyan lark]

I'm (hopefully obviously) being aggressively assertive about my opinions here, but Jades cleared 'em at the time for me. I was in the minority opinion at the time, but that doesn't mean I was wrong, just early 😉

Their value was pretty good tho for sure

[peak breach]

I canceles my original jade order when the raws released on the wooting store

And yes, you were wrong

[sacred elm]

Raws were built like complete garbage

[cyan lark]

I'm sorry, but the wrongness is coming from inside the house. I'll be here for you when you are feeling better.

[cyan lark]

See, I knew there was some sanity left in this channel.

[sacred elm]

I hope this is not the case with Raptor v2s, they're otw to me

[sacred elm]

I think I swapped them in a week with Jade Pros lol

[cyan lark]

Also, and this is very common in here, your response is to tell me that you never actually tried the other thing I was talking about, but that you are stil correct.

Imagine a reviewer telling you that Ford is better than GM, but on the other hand, they've never driven a GM. Would you trust that opinion?

99% of people in this channel would and do, for whatever reason. Vibes, I guess.

[cyan lark]

Yeah I went to jade pros after them until KoM came out - still riding high on the KoM train to this day, waiting for something to top 🙂

(Tikken save me with your long, luscious travel)

[toxic surge]

just wait for tikkens

[calm hearth]

is it normal that the Lekker V2 L60 are lubed very inconsistently?

[cyan lark]

Not in my experience.

[calm hearth]

then I guess I was just a bit unlucky

it's not extreme but some keys already start sounding different after 2 weeks

[sacred elm]

That might be because lube leaked out through the hole

[cyan lark]

Good news is now you have an opportunity to get some closed bottom switches 🙂

[peak breach]

I tried jades, they weren’t mine tho

I agree that raws had issues

Still better than regular jades

[manic hound]

How are the raptors

They seem pretty thocky at the expense of some stem wobbles

[round sparrow]

huh?

[sacred elm]

🤨

[prime orbit]

Raptor v2 shipped out

Holy peak

[leaden venture]

Are mount tai GT’s the best of the best switches in terms of precision / stability? Or are there other options.

The spec pages mention +-3gs of flux which seems ludicrous compared to what I previously thought was the best in the ttc snake switches

Which are +-30

Are there also any switches coming out / announced to look at? I have a venom and wooting pcb, don’t care about sound just want schizo peformance

[sacred elm]

No, Mount Tai switches lost to TTC POMs in stability test.

If you only care about precision, than nothing beats split stem switches like Polar Pro+ and Gateron Spark.

[leaden venture]

Oh interesting, is there documentation or anything of stability testing to compare switches?

Is precision all that matters for performance? Or can the stem wobble come into play too

Thank you for the help btw 🙂

[sacred elm]

Mount Tai vs. TTC POM was posted here months ago, you might be able to find it here.

tbh all switches above (except silent) have roughly same performance, so it's not worth chasing literally 0 wobble and tightest magnet tolerances

[leaden venture]

ic, so if I already had the POMS, going to the polar+ for example would be completely pointless and unnoticeable?

[sacred elm]

There won't be any difference in performance.

You might notice a bit less bottom wobble though, but Polar Pro+ top wobble is horrendous as you can see here #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[leaden venture]

That is horrific wow lol

Thanks! I’ll just stick with the poms and try not to schizo out too much

Can the switches really get better from this point?

Like are there even perceptible gains to be made in precision and stability

Or are we already basically at the limit with the current good options

[sacred elm]

Precision wise I don't think so. Switches like TTC POM can be stable with 0.005RT or something like that lol

[leaden venture]

Nuts

Thank you 🙂

I’m looking for a PC plate but i much prefer it to be translucent than opaque (like the one in the wooting website)

[sacred elm]

Raptor v2s have less stem wobble than Raws, sound is subjective.

[kind helm]

can you hear it

personally wont recommend raptor just because of the shit happening to me

get ti he or ice ultra

that was me holding down a and w and wiggling it

like you would holding a key in game

[tropic urchin]

I had one that sounded lil more plasticky, but everything else was fine for me

not going to go schizo over 1 switch

[chilly mural]

Waow i thought you did a very light tap

Or creak a cheap mouse

[kind helm]

do you need to hold down keys in game and are you gentle with it?

so emmm i abuse it a little and the sound goes away, but still feels weird on the finga

probably just needs break in but man 🙁

[sacred elm]

🤨

[tropic urchin]

I play hold to lean tarkov so i bottom out QE pretty frequently which is why i didnt like owlabs that much, but i haven't noticed anything else other than that 1 key. Id say im more medium on gentle scale (nothing crazy, but i dont go super light)

[sacred elm]

Why did you post it two times lol

[tropic urchin]

bad switches happen, but thats why its nice to have extra spares

[kind helm]

i kinda hold the key down a bit harder in val from tension

[tropic urchin]

it happened on my S key if that means anything to you

[stoic ocean]

I send them mail but they are sleeping

Or we have polar pro

Kinda same

But less thock

[calm pulsar]

they probably sell in bulk lol

[stoic ocean]

I found them on buyee but the vendors delete them

Why idk

they are raciste bro

Go on raptor or polar pro+ they are better i think

They cant sell us switches bro so this mean they are raciste

It's a real shame. I love the switches but yeah, they don't seem great in terms of lasting. But I think I'll just try lubing them myself at some point.

actually it aint that bad... i just tried the same on a different board and it can happen to other switches too, maybe the thing that was happening before got me oversensitive with this

still, that earlier sound file is real, maybe it really does take a tiny bit of time to break in

[obtuse musk]

Yeah I did. But this switch was fine before and now it's also getting crunchy.

[tall hollow]

yeah LEL

[tropic urchin]

See if it returns

[kind helm]

imma open it up and check

[tropic urchin]

If it doesn’t then you have your answer @kind helm

It would suck, but it’s a 1 time thing or worst case just lube the spring

[kind helm]

i took out out, put on a key cap then try to wiggle

doesnt happen anymore while its out

i am certified delulu

[tidal frigate]

You missed that aligner was tossed into shadowrealm

[tropic urchin]

You stay long enough in here everyone adds a lil delulu

[kind helm]

how the fck did it happen before then

i am lost

[tropic urchin]

Switch is probably tired and had a long day

[kind helm]

another mystery. pain

will know for sure tomorrow, not gaming tonight. if i dont notice it tomorrow then i say break-in somehow fixed it

[calm pulsar]

did my goat aligner really get banned

[sacred elm]

Huh?

[kind helm]

due to what? not agreeing with mark?

hopefully hes not

[sacred elm]

He's not banned

Classic Jakubix misinformation

[steep belfry]

i have a base model 60he and im having problems with my cable being loose and having miss inputs does anybody have a guide on how to change the female usb c?

[calm pulsar]

[sacred elm]

What do you mean by loose? Like you can wiggle the cable and keyboard gets disconnected?

[kind helm]

[calm pulsar]

if your usb c port is broken you need to replace it which would involve soldering, probably not something that an easy guide exists for

[steep belfry]

nah its jus wiggles alot and sometimes my key inputs press them selves

[tropic urchin]

Seems to be a trend

[sacred elm]

Wiggle is normal if the keyboard stays connected.

Check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8ojU_8ASVE

[steep belfry]

ill press E to hard and D or A will activate

[steep belfry]

yea i had to change cables i didnt know about to much voltage ill mess with my brightness and other things

can we preorder the new 60he yet or no

[sacred elm]

v2? No.

[vivid star]

Yeah

[peak breach]

Take ur meds

[kind helm]

cherry or jtk?

[cyan lark]

Tough call. I think JTK mainly to not have the green spill out of its symmetry

[trail bane]

Gn

[kind helm]

acrylic leggera, pp, raptor v2, jtk abs

[stoic ocean]

MashaAllah brozer

[kind helm]

need a keykobo or gmk set at some point still

[cyan lark]

Maybe once that federal funding comes back 🏜️

[kind helm]

heard everything got cut except for one but since its not my field i dont remember exactly which

[glacial wind]

See that’s what I’m worried about with raptor v2. That they’re so tight maybe some switches have friction issues that I don’t see on my set/usage

It’s odd only joshiba is seeing it so far though

[little glen]

i had one raptor v2 with some pretty bad spring ping

[glacial wind]

spring ping will be interesting because normally i never have any spring issues due to hand lubing all my switches and springs, but now i'm not hand lubing due to needing them stock for comparison tests

generally i don't mind spring stuff as much because that's fixable, but the friction stuff does worry me

although so far it's only joshiba who was able to get it happening right? I don't think any of rest of us have seen any friction issues

[little glen]

I havent installed my raptors yet cause i want to try them on fr4

So waiting for plate first

[kind helm]

yep my experience reads like a mental melt down i cant deny that

[kind helm]

so what i know is

• it can definitely happen since that sound file exists, so i am not completely delulu
• i am not sure if it is a thing that just requires some amount of break in or not, since i can't consistently reproduce it and i can't find any issue with the switch once I took it out. (the key stroke sounds clean to me when i put it close to my ear as well)
• it does not happen during normal typing（at least not in a really noticible way), because i was doing a bunch of monkey type when i just got the switch, and i never caught it.

[polar girder]

Everyone else probably honeymoon phase on the 10th set of switches they purchased

[tulip rapids]

do you live alone?

[river shore]

hey all - custom keyboard guy here whos also into gaming

had my wooting for a while but been thinkinga bout getting switch pads for them, seen some people do it. obviously, with the magnetic switch it has potential for interference with accuracy, but has anyone had any experience with switch pads w their wooting and experience with the 'intereference'?

[slate fox]

that sounds so good

[kind helm]

[fallen pecan]

pink fluxies

[glacial wind]

generally not recommended. They cause inaccuracy in your press, even if unnoticed

there's been a few cases here of boards just misactuating after switch pads were installed

and even if you don't get that issue it's basically guaranteed that your presses will be more inaccurate (we've had to add extra compensation calibration in the past just to make o ring mods not cause actuation issues, and switch pads introduce even more movement than that)

[peak breach]

How hard do you press down on your switch while playing? Could it also be because of pp plate?

[polar girder]

It’s not funny if you gave to explain it

[polar girder]

I lol’d here

[polar girder]

And cringed here

Sony making HE keyboard

[polar girder]

I used to be

lol

[polar girder]

Yeah cool lineup of products tbh

[calm pulsar]

got any link to see it?

[calm pulsar]

so they are making an HE keyboard and not HE sticks for playstation...

[ruby hill]

[glacial wind]

I do love me some Sony although I worry about software support since that’s been a weak point with their other products

[calm pulsar]

300 dollar board

tough

[ruby hill]

Open bottom he switch

[calm pulsar]

that too lol

[glacial wind]

i'm still waiting on shutter angle for my sony camera

would be such a nice quality of life option that sony just refuses to add to non fx cameras

[calm pulsar]

dual rail

[fluid ravine]

ew

double chin ahhh

credit card swipe ahhh

[ruby hill]

Open bottom with 3.4 travel distance, weird

[fluid ravine]

so we letting sound to leak nice

[fluid ravine]

bottom out floor in the stem hole prob has a increase in thickness so that's prob why its a reduce travel switch while being open bottom

i could be wrong though but that's what it's been looking like in the HE scene of closed bottom

[polar girder]
