[tawdry tree]

then nearly all have the exact same (audible) friction as the Astrolinks

no crunch on the others, yeah

[sacred elm]

@sweet oak I'll give all crunchy Raptors to you

[glacial wind]

alright, yeah cause i checked all of mine yesterday and couldn't get a single one to crunch, so the crunch part seems to be specific to a few springs due to tolerance thing

[tawdry tree]

the only difference I noticed between the Astrolinks and Raptor HE V2s, is that the Astrolinks are pretty loose in the plate compared to Raptors (Raptors aren’t tight or anything).

also haven’t heard anyone with Astrolinks that crunch, so probably some spring issue

very quick sound test. all switches are in the same spots with each sound test.

The C1s are deeper than anything I’ve tried so far I think

[glacial wind]

i'll put a note about the springs on the switch guide

shouldn't be too major though as long as it's only a couple then folks can swap for a spare, but should be noted so folks have a spare and don't buy exactly 83 or whatever they need lol

[sacred elm]

Yep

[rich seal]

Anyone knows where to buy Wooting 80 HE black Aluminum plate? (EU shipping)

[tawdry tree]

1. Raptor HE V2 - Astrolink.
2. Raptor HE V2 - Phylina Lightning.
3. Raptor HE V2 - MMD C1.
   someday I’ll have an objective wobble test.. 🙏

[glacial wind]

is black alu an option outside of a custom vendor? I don't think i've seen that for sale before

[trail bane]

Mofo

[sacred elm]

If you want a black alu plate, you have to order a custom one on HypeKeyboards.

[trail bane]

[sacred elm]

You'll need plate file.

[rich seal]

Are Wooting 80 HE plate files shared?

[tawdry tree]

sorry dear

i thought you talked to someone who needed ansi

[tawdry tree]

ya #🔧│keyboard_modding message

just added the holes on iso

[ionic breach]

oh no

@glacial wind btw do you know how kickstarter works?

cos it doesnt seem like i can choose a colour or addons

oh nvm i see, its all after campaign

[cloud pivot]

even the japaneses themselves dont

cringe layout

[glacial wind]

I’m still deciding on the wandrd or the onego solo 4l sling. The only thing I don’t like about wandrd is its bulky sized

[ionic breach]

looks good aswell

i just like the orange so i got the wandrd

[sacred elm]

https://www.youtube.com/live/fVTVDsI70dg

[ionic breach]

ngl i got the 6 and kinda unsure if i should have gotten the 4 lol

[glacial wind]

Their 3l was a bit too small before, I’m curious to see if new 4l fits a small mirrorless and spare lens

[ionic breach]

lol why is there a raq corner

[ionic breach]

ye

i wonder if it can fit that and a instax

[left cairn]

i smell non keyboard related talks in here

about camera stuff

[glacial wind]

This is part of marketing research for wootings future camera related modding keyboard product

[gaunt plume]

Thx!

[lethal shadow]

so 60he v2 how much better than 60he+?

[sacred elm]

Much better stock experience

Performance difference won't be noticeable.

[lethal shadow]

thanks. i will stay withj 60he+ for now.

[tawdry tree]

lol

[ionic breach]

the mathing has not been mathed

oh its the one with the screen?

that very light from what i expected

[humble surge]

It's not an equal (=) sign, so technically it's fine.
You can't put on a fraction of a mouse, so they just filled in the remaining weight with the third

[chilly mural]

they failed math class

should've = 141g which is still very far from 116g

[sacred elm]

https://tenor.com/view/heart-locket-g502-gif-3526928256478566323

[sacred elm]

Not that far

[tawdry tree]

ye it’s kinda impressive, but I wonder how much they could’ve saved without the fucking screen 😭

[tawdry tree]

for ≈, it’d have to be close at least

two mice would be closer than three 😭

[humble surge]

Well that would be ideal, but not a requirement, it's roughly close sign

[ionic breach]

honestly

quite a good product it seems

[sacred elm]

3x Pulsar Crazylights are lighter than 1 G502

116 vs. 105

[humble surge]

So is this chilkey mouse another high end that i should put on my list?

[ionic breach]

lol wut

[tawdry tree]

huh

they have a left handed version?

[ionic breach]

no it meant right

[tawdry tree]

ah

[tawdry tree]

whoever is doing the typing at chilkey gets confused quickly

[ionic breach]

looks good tho

270 ish for their mouse and keyboard

[tawdry tree]

good board too

OEM but still

[humble surge]

So whats the verdict on this Chilkey mouse aligner? first time i hear of them

[tawdry tree]

haven’t used their mice so idk

idfk why you’d want a screen on a mouse tho

lol

[little glen]

now i need to figure out how to apply the standoffs

[humble surge]

do they have any reputation or something we can go by?

[little glen]

😭

[humble surge]

ohh yeah idc about screen

[tawdry tree]

their board is good and the previous version of that mouse was well received afaik

[humble surge]

hmm okay, i'll put it on the potential list

[tawdry tree]

I think you need a screwdriver. 😃👍

[humble surge]

I have 5 mice so far

[tawdry tree]

only need a couple more and you can start a restaurant

[humble surge]

Not owned, i mean on the list. I own probably 20+

[tawdry tree]

oh lol

[humble surge]

Nothing high end tho, i want to enter that range now possibly, considering i did with the keyboard.

Also i think we will stay away from hollow/honeycomb shells, the dust is just too problematic where i live.
We won't allow that to be the way of weight reduction.

[sacred elm]

Get Crazylight

No holes, 35g

and no useless screen on the mouse

[humble surge]

It's on the list

[sterile dagger]

what do u guys think about the gt80 case?

is it worth it?

[humble surge]

I'm buying one next week, it looks promising.

[kind helm]

suspected that because after i swap the pingless spring, when i swap back the original spring the sound got worse compare to the beginning

[safe stag]

[little glen]

Gonna test out the raptors and rawhuks on new plate

Maybe on sunday

For now ill have it as raptors so i can show it off to the wooting people at gamescom

[calm pulsar]

[wooden topaz]

Well... just received and install ice ultra .... way to clacky for me 😂

imma stick to lekker v2 waiting for tikkens ...

[trail bane]

Is that a Fr4 or alu plate?

[little glen]

Fr4

[stray tiger]

Ah gotcha thanks

[polar girder]

Yoooo

What plate

[little glen]

Fr4

[polar girder]

Nice dude

You got it all put together?

Curious what you think about the combo

[trail bane]

Fr4 + poms is rly good

[polar girder]

Ahh yeah gotta try it

I think fr4 + keysnaps might be my next move

[little glen]

Nah i had to go so no keycaps on yet

[polar girder]

[little glen]

Ill do like a proper look with different switches on sunday

[torpid fox]

First Wooting keyboard, actually first time ever modding a keyboard ( never removed a switch or keycap before 😂 ), super happy with first build and how it came out.

[toxic surge]

any tips on how i get my board even clackier i got the owlab ti switches maybe buying a different plate i still use the default wooting one

[sacred elm]

Do you have module or prebuilt

[toxic surge]

module in the tofu60 owlab ti pbt keycaps friction pad and sw knight v3 stabs

got the default plate from my prebuilt wooting tho

[sacred elm]

Try CF plate

https://aliexpress.us/item/1005006050178592.html

[toxic surge]

i got an iso layout tho

[sacred elm]

Oh rip

[toxic surge]

yeah

does a PC plate make it thockier or clackier?

probably clackier no?

[sacred elm]

PC mutes the sound

[toxic surge]

ah aight

yeah i dont want that

[sacred elm]

You need stiffer plate like FR4/Alu/CF

[toxic surge]

there is an FR4 plate ISO as well

should i consider that instead?

[sacred elm]

You can order custom plate on HypeKeyboards https://hypekeyboards.ca/

For that you need 60HE plate file

[toxic surge]

where do i get that?

[sacred elm]

https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-design/tree/main/wooting-60he

[toxic surge]

ty

[sacred elm]

Sure, FR4 is nice.

Try that and maybe order custom CF plate

Can be a bit more expensive though

[toxic surge]

what material is the stock wooting 60he plate made of?

[sacred elm]

Prebuilt is steel
Module is PC

[stoic ocean]

Fotnit

[toxic surge]

will different keycaps also effect the sound? @sacred elm

[stoic ocean]

I am not shafie but yes

[sacred elm]

Yes, if you like clackier sound then consider ABS keycaps

GMK for example

[stoic ocean]

Go on doubleshot pbt i always buy this

[toxic surge]

i got double shot pbt rn

[sacred elm]

PBT is thicker and can make the sound deeper

[stoic ocean]

More ur keycaps are thick more they produce a thock sound

[toxic surge]

i want clack tho

[stoic ocean]

Well my english is not that good so srry 🥀

[toxic surge]

nah u good yeah i see what u mean

yeah i know thats why i was thinking about getting abs keycaps

[stoic ocean]

They deteriorate quickly

[toxic surge]

ik

[sacred elm]

If you want high quality ABS keycaps, get GMK

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[stoic ocean]

And you guys what do you prefer between

if the cloudnine is more cheap than the first version (i hope) i think to go on cloud9

[toxic surge]

yeah they are expensive tho

[trail bane]

https://tenor.com/view/feednanyangi-nanyangi-luna-jaemin-luna-sleepy-nanyangi-sleepy-gif-1596089920556574778

Gn

[thorn zealot]

There’s no way the cloudnine will be that much cheaper

But I do like the cloudnine more

[stoic ocean]

but on the ic it said that the EC version would cost around 200€ or did they mean that it starts at 200€ because for me that means that the others will also have the same price well more or less anyway we will see that later but I would really like to have it it is art at this point it is no longer a keyboard

[ionic breach]

Alex making a hall effect switch video

like tournament style

i like it

[stoic ocean]

I think they have an issue but I don't want to mislead you

[tropic urchin]

First ever permanent switch since they aren’t coming out

[sacred elm]

They are alright, you might feel slight friction at the top

[ionic breach]

if u dont want the hassle of buying another switch with its own shipping go for it

[sacred elm]

Get Owlab Ti/Duhuk Herz instead

[ionic breach]

but if not, ^ or raptor v2s

[sacred elm]

They're still good, dw

Idk

Back to school soon

[trail bane]

I’m heading to Gdańsk right now, no time to sleep

[sterile dagger]

hey

does anyone own both a zinc alloy case and a gt80 here?

if yeah which one do u prefer

[little glen]

Just pick the one you like more design wise

[sterile dagger]

okay

i'll probably get the zinc alloy case then

kbdfans shipping prices are painful

[little glen]

You might pay less if you buy from their shop on aliexpress

[sterile dagger]

including shipping, the gt80 is 155 usd

so

i'm not sure if its worth it

[flat cobalt]

Very worth it

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-basketball-ice-dunk-hornet-gif-3999940650987546913

[sterile dagger]

hmm

maybe

i do like the gt80 in pink

but i dont think the gt80 comes with a daughterboard off ali so i'm not sure how i'll get that

[flat cobalt]

You use the one that comes with your 80he

[sterile dagger]

no i'm buying the module + the gt80, does the module come with a daughterboard?

i don't have the 80he yet lol

[flat cobalt]

@little glen do you know?

[sterile dagger]

cuz i heard i need to get the daughterboard from kbdfans website if i don't have a 80he already

so i will prob just get the zinc alloy

[glacial wind]

if you buy the module, it doesn't come with a daughterboard, but usually there's a plastic case pre-attached to your cart

just don't remove the plastic case from your cart and that has a daughterboard and cable

[sterile dagger]

eh the plastic case is 10 dollars i could just add it to the cart

to get a daughterboard

yeah

[glacial wind]

yeah, it's good value. $10 gets you the plastic case, daughterboard and the usb cable

so not really much reason to ever remove it

[sterile dagger]

• gt80 case, keycaps, duhuk herz off ali

[little glen]

I bet y‘all are jealous

[glacial wind]

oh you got one of the bags

[sterile dagger]

how do you get one of those

[glacial wind]

i'm still jealous they ran out of the luggage tags right before i joined wooting

I got a secret limited edition switchy laser pin too

[trail bane]

Are you in eu?

[sterile dagger]

nope

middle east

kbdfans doesnt even ship to my country from their website

[trail bane]

Sad

[sterile dagger]

i mean the zinc alloy case isnt bad

it's still good i think

didnt wooting fix all the paint chipping problems?

[trail bane]

But gt80 imho is way better

[glacial wind]

the white v2 zinc alloy is the best coating we make now yeah

[sterile dagger]

and tbh i prefer the zinc case aesthetic more

dont like the strap

[glacial wind]

gt80 strap thing is removal though, so you should note that in your decision

[sterile dagger]

oh okay

didnt know that

eh

ill probably just get the zinc alloy case

for the warranty on it

[trail bane]

Gimme that

got some raptor v2s today

and they are quite nice

tho I will never get used to their travel distance

[tawdry tree]

you don’t hear or feel the friction on any of them?

[crimson sky]

have not noticed anything yet

but also I like cherry switches so

those sound quite scratchy even if they feel smoth

[tawdry tree]

raptors still feel kinda smooth but it’s noticeable to me

[crimson sky]

have not paid extra attention to that tbh

was mainly just happy that my bottom out doesn't sound as weird as on my lekker raptor frankenstein switches

[tawdry tree]

were you still using stem swapped raptors?

[crimson sky]

I had them on my board

but I wasn't using it much

I was mainly waiting for switches to release that don't seem bad to me

but these also ain't it

[tawdry tree]

holy

[tawdry tree]

Then probably just Tikkens left

if you can’t do with less than full travel

[crimson sky]

yea 3.7mm is pushing it for me

from my experience

tikkens will prob be it

but

if tikkens are good I might comission a custom HE PCB

Raptor v2 out for delivery

[crimson sky]

btw doublechecked it

I can hear it if I hold them close to my ears

but it doesn't really bother me tbh

[tawdry tree]

it’s worse on some than it is on others, I’m guessing most people probably won’t notice or care too much so that’s good.

it was imo what made Astrolinks kinda shit

I find it kinda annoying

[tawdry tree]

that HE60 by peppa by the way?

[paper bison]

holy shit the geon raptor v2 are smooth

i like them but i think i prefer the owlabs

although the owlab has very little wobble, the raptor feels like a box stem switch

there’s near zero wobble

[glacial wind]

Yeah that’s basically what most people think too. Owlab still sound better to most and so do some other switches so it’s basically choice between sound vs stability

Although I think average non enthusiast will probably enjoy the raptor more because they’re not chasing a specific sound profile as much as us

[crimson sky]

nono, a completely custom PCB in a custom layout

[tidal frigate]

Hi sno

[crimson sky]

yea not super happy with their sound

HE sound is just ass ig

[paper bison]

Some HE switches sound garbage, the Raptor V2 is not one of them, they’re still very much up there for me in terms of type feel and sound

[crimson sky]

yea they sound quite bad to me still tho

idk how to even describe it, they just sound like HE switches to me

sounds like magnet hitting plastic

[tawdry tree]

his board is fully open-source so you can use that as a base. otherwise, or whoever is making it would have to do all that again too and that’s most of the work.

[crimson sky]

I mean I want something larger than 60% which makes it a bit more work

[tawdry tree]

what layout do you want?

[crimson sky]

hell no

[crimson sky]

it's between a TKL and a fullsize

[tawdry tree]

80HE 💀

does it have all the features as well?

or the main features I mean

[crimson sky]

that is less than a TKL

[crimson sky]

wdym

so far it has jack shit with HE features since that PCB is not designed yet

[tawdry tree]

true

[tawdry tree]

ah, you have a mech one with that layout then?

[crimson sky]

yea

[tawdry tree]

ic

[crimson sky]

but QMK supports a lot of the stuff you can do with most HE boards

atm no analog inputs I think

[tawdry tree]

RT and adjustable actuation point only or more than that?

[crimson sky]

can technically also do snaptap

via macro stuff is somewhat limited

vial would allow a bit more but afaik vial has no analog input options at all yet?

[tawdry tree]

I’ve only seen one HE board with QMK support iirc

[tawdry tree]

don’t think so

[crimson sky]

there are some EC boards

which also have analog inputs

cipulot PCBs have RT for example

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[crimson sky]

mine also just started behaving at some point

idk what was wrong with it

I need to swap in different domes tho

"EXCUJE ME"

[calm pulsar]

leading... my pabori

[little glen]

Gamescom haul

[glacial wind]

Oh we got more luggage tags?

Is that a single tikken I see

[chilly mural]

nice haul

now you got 2 strap for dat 60hev2 double strap

[little glen]

I dont know what you‘re talking about

[little glen]

Nah one for my gt80

[tropic urchin]

@glacial wind So I did some recon for raptor spring swap. If you are using geon switch opener, you have to apply downwards pressure like ususal and then use the WS puller to unlatch the middle housing lock

[sacred elm]

🤨

How many did you swap?

[tropic urchin]

the issue is the middle lock on the top housing cucking your progress

[tropic urchin]

WASD

[sacred elm]

I'm gonna swap all of them, I'm cooked

[glacial wind]

Oh on my switch openers it’s not an issue opening them but the fit of them is a tiny bit big which is annoying

Never had to do any extra steps like use another puller

They’re just awkwardly sized and seem to be 1mm too wide so I have to jam them into my Wuque opener, but on the tx opener it’s built into handle of the tool so it’s wider already and fits fine

[tropic urchin]

its tough if you go only opener, you gotta dual hand it to have a shot

[tropic urchin]

the initial fit works, but once you try to open it, it doesnt fully open with the switch opener

[glacial wind]

Odd, that doesn’t happen with any of my openers

I don’t use the geon one though

[tawdry tree]

what in the world is a middle housing lock?! are we talking about the same raptors?!?!?!

you mean the middle hook?

(which doesn’t hook onto the bottom housing in any way)

[tawdry tree]

yeah

that doesn’t hook into the bottom housing

[tropic urchin]

Hook lock same shit 😭

It’s the only part that keeps preventing me from opening it

[tawdry tree]

bro how? genuinely

haha

[tropic urchin]

The raptors are weird

You try to open it normally and it just stays like that

[tawdry tree]

when you push it on the switch opener, push only on the stem

not on the stem and top housing

that might be why you can’t get them to open easily

or the geon opener is just odd idk

but they opened just fine for me

[tropic urchin]

what opener are you using bc im just using the geon box one

[tawdry tree]

TX multitool and a cheap ali one both work fine

cheap ali one is just a generic 2 in 1

[tropic urchin]

ah yes TX multi

[quasi hinge]

Will Wooting do one of these in Asia this year or next if anyone knows?

[little glen]

Rawhuks are higher pitch and sharper sound

Some of the raptors also had sone ping

[little glen]

They are usually at computex i think

[fallen pecan]

They were at ChinaJoy a few months back

[untold wigeon]

the neo65 he price looks nice

[quasi hinge]

Ill definitely try to go next time then

Looks fun

Last time I visited something like that was PAX West a lifetime ago but more for games etc

[stoic ocean]

PAX?

[cyan lark]

Penny Arcade Expo

At least, it used to stand for that.

[kind helm]

not on the ones i tried, but this i think is a smo issue compare to the spring squeaky sound

i pray... i pray... break-in fixes everything... surely it fixes everything...

[glacial wind]

Wooting usually does one of the Asia ones

Had to look up the exact name, but it’s computex

[glacial wind]

Honestly I think bag lubing is really worth with a lot of these switches now doing longer springs

[shadow steppe]

anyone knows great place to buy keycaps i looking for some good ones

[ionic breach]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

depends on ur budget and region mostly

[calm pulsar]

@tawdry tree hey, do you think considering issues that some had with raptors, are they literally a recolor of astrolinks atp? without any mold adjustments I mean

[tranquil lake]

When you bag lubing springs, you lubing rest of the switch also, or just taking off spring > bag lubing > putting spring back and closing the switch?

Might be stupid question but yeah

[glacial wind]

Usually remove spring then throw them all in a bag while I’m lubing the switch

Okay important modding keyboard question needs to be decided

Wotancraft 3.5L camera sling or onego v2 4L sling. A tough decision to be made

Versus

[tranquil lake]

1st

[glacial wind]

Frosti has expensive taste

[tranquil lake]

Every 80he owner has

[sacred elm]

First

[tawdry tree]

friction affects all of em, the crunchy springs only a couple (and because I haven’t heard anyone with astrolinks mention crunchy springs, I think it’s an easy fix, surely).

[tawdry tree]

seems like it. I have no clue why geon says the molds were changed. it’s possible that they are but considering lucifers, I really doubt it.

[calm pulsar]

yeah I might just get astrolinks from AE then

and I have a ton of different springs to try

jade pro, TTC, pingless

[tawdry tree]

don’t think they’d be cheaper tbh but not sure

[tawdry tree]

only TTCs fit (without issues*) :(

[calm pulsar]

yeah they are more expensive but if I order from korea it's going to be costing extra commissions for me anyway

[glacial wind]

astrolinks go slower though. Orange color is always faster in car racing

[tawdry tree]

ah ic

[glacial wind]

Hrm everyone I’ve asked votes for the wotancraft bag

It do be stylish non camera bag looking I suppose

[tranquil lake]

2nd looks soo basic

[calm pulsar]

fair point, but I've been running MX raptors for a while now so it will balance things out

[glacial wind]

If only it wasn’t 5x the cost of the 2nd sling though lol

[calm pulsar]

2nd sling imo is nicer cause I'd prefer smaller size, but Ig that depends on how much stuff you need to carry

[glacial wind]

yeah that’s the thing the onego sling has going for it. It’s a tad slimmer if it’s just a 1 camera and lens kit day

[chilly mural]

First one makes you look like villain, the second one makes you look like a rich traveler

[glacial wind]

Hrm both stereotypes I am okay with

I do like a good villain arc from time to time

[chilly mural]

If I see somebody wearing black bag carrying a camera, I'll assume they're about to take the sickest pic of a car

[calm pulsar]

first one would be good for an open minded guy wearing a black leather jacket

[glacial wind]

Ah the hongdae fit

[kind helm]

seems align() with my initial impression that it does not sound as clean as ti

[prime orbit]

My raptors got delayed after saying failure

What is happening

😭

Is this a sign to sell my wooting

[chilly mural]

roll d20, if you hit above 15, it means yes.

[tawdry tree]

I’m sure people will still like them though

[prime orbit]

Got u

I got a. 5

Then a 14

🙏💀

[chilly mural]

No, you supposed to only roll once

[prime orbit]

Oh

First was a 4

[tawdry tree]

he’s rolling until he gets 15+

[prime orbit]

5

[chilly mural]

it means it's not the sign that you talked about

[prime orbit]

Where are my raptors

[tawdry tree]

It’s a sign to wait for Tikkens

raptors ain’t worth it anyway

[prime orbit]

I was told raptors were better…

[tawdry tree]

you shouldn’t have listened to the voice coming from the walls man

you know better

[chilly mural]

he needs a shaman to tell him sign

[prime orbit]

[prime orbit]

In fact I don’t

I listen to him all the time

[tawdry tree]

raptors are more stable

so if you just care for that, then you’re good

[prime orbit]

I said gaming

Maybe that’s my first problem

If all I do is game

And watch YT

I see no reason asking for the best gaming

[chilly mural]

Ti he is all you need

[prime orbit]

Owllab?

[chilly mural]

yes

[prime orbit]

Thought those were ass

They are brown

They can’t be good

uhhhhhhbhh

im not gonna continue that

[ionic breach]

[prime orbit]

Bro not like that

💀💀

[tawdry tree]

well, lucky for you, they come in all colors (as is usual)

pink

red and orange

what do you like? they got it for sure

😭

[prime orbit]

Isn’t the raptor just a better ti?

At least going by the chart

[tawdry tree]

I wouldn’t say so

Ti HEs have no issues at all afaik

also different sound profile

and different manu

[chilly mural]

no, raptor v2 is just raw he with better stability and same sound

at least how I view it

[prime orbit]

Did I buy the wrong switches…

[tawdry tree]

they are stable!

very.

so for gaming they’re good

[prime orbit]

I’ve gone from raptor > Lucifer > raw > magneto pom > now raptor v2

I gotta quit

[tawdry tree]

don’t. trying something new is fun 😃👍

[prime orbit]

Not when it costs me money when a new better switch comes out every other week

😭😭😭

[chilly mural]

it's alright

[prime orbit]

My fomo is strong within

[glacial wind]

Raw sound a fair bit different to raptor too. Raptor are kind of their own thing that’s in between a bunch of other options

I actually prefer the sound of raw to raptor honestly

[misty sapphire]

are there any known stabilizers that interfere with HE keybs?

[misty sapphire]

i honestly havent gotten off the raws since i got them. my favorite so far

[tawdry tree]

no, but any fat stabs won’t fit well with the 60HE

[misty sapphire]

noted

[tawdry tree]

why do you ask?

[misty sapphire]

because a friend of mine whos getting a he is convinced his stabs wont work because they stuck to a magnet

trying to convince him thats not how it works but eh

[glacial wind]

that’s a new one.

[tawdry tree]

oh lol. there are actually stabs with a non-magnetic wire.

[glacial wind]

Tell him he’s right and he should find some adamantium stabilisers because they’re known for strength in HE keyboards

[misty sapphire]

only way its gonna interfere if he magnetizes it with the damn magnet hes sticking it to

[tawdry tree]

but if normal wires were to cause issues, woot wouldn’t ship their boards with them, so it’s alright

[glacial wind]

Interestingly a very minor amount of interference housing wise is also fine, because knight stabs technically rub part of 80he plate in parts but it’s in a non important spot so doesn’t really matter

[tawdry tree]

really? which part?

haven’t noticed that yet

[burnt snow]

When a shift or backspace keys has a rattle to it and the stabilizers look like they are fitting in right and it’s all lubricated what could be the reason?

[glacial wind]

Part of the housing next to the wire rubs with the plate iirc when I was reading the tests we did internally. It’s seemingly not affecting anything though since it’s very minor

[burnt snow]

If it put the tinniest piece of bandaid on the stabalizer just like right on the edge the rattle is less

[misty sapphire]

i got some precut poron strips for that

[burnt snow]

Oh cool

Where do y out get those

[glacial wind]

It’s like .1 of a mm touching in one spot basically from our tests

iirc when I was reading the spec comparisons the clearance was 3.5mm and the housing size was 3.5-3.6mm, so there’s that 0.1mm spot where it can just barely be rubbing the wire

[tawdry tree]

and it’s only on the SW Knights?

[glacial wind]

Yeah, no issues with that same clearance on Wuque stupids and the similar designs

[calm pulsar]

what did you just call Wuque Fluxes

[glacial wind]

No those are the legless, not to be confused with Legolas who is an elf in lord of the rings

[tranquil lake]

They r good

If we trust jed

[glacial wind]

I think we’ve reached the point where folks have to make their own choice on what stability is good enough for them

because mx stems are clearly hitting the limits of stable with these raptors, and while they’re still smooth feel wise the feel of a tighter stem and the sound pitch won’t be for everyone

Erix just need to stop worrying about the fomo so much and just decide what he cares about more

[tranquil lake]

Soon i will test by my self raptors vs ti he vs mmd C1 to see how they sound next to each other

But yeah, raptors looks crazy stable

[tawdry tree]

C1s are nice. not perfect but they are nice

[tropic urchin]

This should be pinned for the “what’s best Fortnite” ppl that outsources all decisions to someone else

More ppl have to take ownership of what they want

[harsh dove]

Wassup

I haven't been keeping up exactly, but from afar it sounds like Raptor V2s may have some QC issues?

I'll wait for Raptor V3

Raptor V1 had magnet issues, V2 got spring friction issues, wonder how V3 will be

3rd time the charm as they say, surely it'll be good

[azure kayak]

Anyone know any good double shot pbt orange keycaps?

[tawdry tree]

You might like em honestly, apart from the spring crunch which only affects a few, the friction is similar to cherry scratchiness.

[harsh dove]

Oh so it's not bad friction?

just crunchy springs?

[tawdry tree]

I don’t like it, didn’t like it on Astros either. You might though.

[kind helm]

i still dont 100% understand what the fuck is the issue.

like i did not experience the issue on the first day, second day the W key just randomly became squeaky. then i spam that key a couple times and it became fine.

then again, randomly it started become squeaky again. i took it out and messed around with that particular broken switch, made it worse. then i left on the table for like two days, now it magically became fine again without me having to rotate the spring like aligner suggested.

actual voodoo magic switch...

[harsh dove]

I like the scratch on my Kailh BCPs in my Protagonist

[tawdry tree]

Not sure if the scratchiness is exactly comparable but it might be close.

[harsh dove]

maybe it depends on the angle at which the key is pressed and maybe also the speed

[kind helm]

and sound wise like aligner said, other than a few particular weird ones, they don't sound bad per say. i enjoy them enough on abs caps to not swap them out for another set of ti or raws.

[tawdry tree]

maybe it’s like the bottom coil of the spring rubbing against the coil above it, not sure if it’s the right wording

[harsh dove]

Hmm this sound makes me feel like it's more similar to the friction the RAWs had with getting stuck at the top sometimes

[harsh dove]

Eww

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-gif-18370552922777914358

[kind helm]

i do think its most likely something to do with the spring and the bottom housing, because the bottom housing seems to be designed in a way to restrict spring from moving.

[tawdry tree]

Raws were sticky cause of lube, but funnily enough, there’s another switch now with the same issue

MMD C1s, manud by BSUN

[harsh dove]

Oh I haven't heard of those

I'm surprised Raptors have such crunchy springs tbh

Geon made pingless springs, I'd assume he just use those in his switches by default

I remember when I first tried pingless and I didn't even lube them and they were great imo

[tawdry tree]

They’re pretty nice apart from the sticking issue. A deeper sounding switch

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, if only those fit

HMX uses a smaller spring dia

[harsh dove]

Oh the Rap V2s are differnt manu?

[tawdry tree]

so only TTC’s springs fit/work well

[harsh dove]

Interesting

[tawdry tree]

ye HMX

I do like HMX tho

[tawdry tree]

gn

[calm pulsar]

my MX raptors are also made by HMX

[harsh dove]

How many peeps in this corner of the interverse (internet) have had this issue anyway? @tawdry tree

with Rap V2s

[tawdry tree]

Crunchy springs, just me and josh so far. Friction presumably all of them, as was the case with Astrolinks (doubt anything changed there).

Astrolinks are HMX’s first magnetic switch by the way

[harsh dove]

Ah okay, but you said it's not necessarily bad friction right?

[tawdry tree]

and Raptor V2s seem to be identical

[harsh dove]

Yeah I remember

[tawdry tree]

Nah, not really

I don’t like and heard a few people say it about the Astrolinks but not really about the Raptors yet.

We’ll see.

[harsh dove]

Sno didn't have any issues with his? I know he was testin them quite a bit

[tawdry tree]

Don’t remember him saying anything about crunchy springs or friction but it might be easy to miss.

[kind helm]

theres a guy on geon's dc who also has this issue

i was checking if anyone else was experiencing it on that channel, i didn't even scroll up too much before i found a video of someone showing the issue

[fossil gyro]

I have a question knowing like how little screen can be like is is possible to have a keycaps that is a screen like the space bar is a screen , since I seen rollable screen so I wondered if it was possible for keycapsbto be one while it still work as keycap

[uneven cradle]

Not possible unless the keyboard has been designed around having a screen placed in it

[fossil gyro]

Oh okay so basically if someone wanted a screen as keycap it means changing the pcb or having like another one just for image reason and change the ful case okay I understand

[silk junco]

if anyone's knowledgable in modding, could they take a look at #1409340964446797846? would appreciate any and all advice

[little glen]

lubing and stabilisers arent really needed i would say because it is quite good stock. Maybe you could consider a different set of switches such as owlab ti he or raptor v2 for the keyboard. As for the keycaps, i dont know much about custom keycap sellers but you should be able to find someone, wooting 80he is compatible with most keycap sets out there as it is compatible with standard mx style keycaps

[stoic ocean]

He's lucky 🥀

[silk junco]

thank you so much!! i saw this video and assumed lubing and stabilizers were a must haha https://youtu.be/9f7AqnHrhQA?si=uMhqzUEDzrp-qbC- very good to know

[little glen]

this video is 9 months old and a lot of stuff has happened since

actually that reminds me i should record a sound test of my current 80he

[stoic ocean]

@silk junco tape mod this is cheap and good

[little glen]

#1342211699234832485 message new sound test dropped (my sound test setup is weird, also never compare soundtests of 2 different people cause their desk setup and all will make it sound different)

i need a less shitty desk but thats something i'll fix when i move out of this shitty apartment

[tidal frigate]

Well it could be possible with a lot of modding

[sacred elm]

Changing stabilizers not needed - if you won't like the sound, you can lube them and they will be as good as third party stabilizers.

I would recommend getting a module, third party switches (for example Owlab Ti) and either Zinc Alloy from Wooting or KBDfans GT-80 case.

GT-80 has more color options and looks great

[glacial wind]

No issues for me as far as the spring stuff goes. The friction sound part doesn’t bother me since it’s not actual sticking friction

I actually went and checked all the remaining switches in my box that I didn’t use after Josh had the weird crunch thing but none of mine were crunching

[silk junco]

ooh color options! noted,, i'm not sure what the term is but if i were to buy third party switches- how do i know which switch is the best speed in the market (i know the speed matters for video games a lot)? like when u press down on it

[sacred elm]

Pretty much all hall effect switches have same performance. Switches are just magnets moving up and down.

[tulip rapids]

How many people have had issues with the raptor v2 in this server?

just joshiba?

[ionic breach]

switches play no part in performance

and alighner

i think

[sacred elm]

Here are some popular recommendations

[silk junco]

thank you so much!

[ionic breach]

ti he would be my rec

if ur going 3rd party

[sacred elm]

Owlab Ti HE is very safe option. They are cheap, they have very small amount of stem wobble and they sound great.

[silk junco]

do the switch colors see through? i am trying to go for black keycaps with transparency on the letters for the led :'D so i don't know if the ti he would show some of the brown

sorry for all the questions also ;; i appreciate all the input

[glacial wind]

Brown general you’re fine. It’s more stuff like orange for example that tints stuff

There’s plenty of fully clear switches too if you really want to min max your rgb

[harsh dove]

Yeah it didn't seem like it was sticky friction so I don't think I would mind it

Copy flux stem but make it tactile 🔥

[calm pulsar]

tactile fluxes, starting at $3.99

I think @tulip rapids should switch to lekkers

because they look very.... open ~~minded ~~bottom

[chilly mural]

Hopefully it's reasonably priced

[tropic urchin]

$0.8-$1.2 per switch calling it rn

[calm pulsar]

could be higher if these are like sparks but with added tactility

The lekkers will take me to Hongdae

[quasi hinge]

Quite a big gap for the polar pros between top and bottom stem wobble

Where would wuque V2 fit in?

[glacial wind]

wuque are kind of ttc-ish level wobble wise, but their stem doesn't means you don't feel it as much

i'd be weary of touching their switches though, just due to all the qc stuff that was never really addressed beyond 'okay we might fix it in future'

[tulip rapids]

Tikken the new Hongdae switch

[chilly mural]

Tikken is all you need

[languid kestrel]

brown is technically just dark orange

[quasi hinge]

Oh my

I may just have to try these

POM

Anyone here have these?

Im currently on magneto POMs

[glacial wind]

yeah i have them, i don't think they're worth getting if you have poms already

they're basically poms but with new magnet

and it uses the upper housing rails

[quasi hinge]

Okay thank you!

[tawdry tree]

You would’ve liked Astros for sure. I definitely think the friction is an acquired taste of sorts as it was the main complaint about the Astros.

[tawdry tree]

Surelyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[glacial wind]

I don’t really get bothered by that sort of friction in general because I’m used to walled stems already so they rub against the walls all the time already

Long as it’s not the sticky resistance type of friction

[tawdry tree]

Snake recolor those weren’t much of an upgrade over regular KoMs anyway.

[tawdry tree]

Eh, it’s worse than that imo but I might be sensitive to friction like that or something lol

[chilly mural]

then $3 per switch

[tawdry tree]

feels like going with chalk over a chalkboard

[glacial wind]

Yeah I think maybe you’re just sensitive to that maybe

[tawdry tree]

They already claimed it’s the first tactile magnetic switch (which it isn’t) so $3 probably isn’t a crazy guess.

sadly..

[chilly mural]

13 days

[tawdry tree]

we’ll see how many people point it out, if it’s a similar amount as with the Astros

otherwise Geon glaze is to blame

[glacial wind]

i think it'll only be noticable by a very small minority of enthusiasts probably. I can't imagine the average person noticing or calling that friction

[tawdry tree]

Don’t think that was the case for the Astros but we’ll see

[glacial wind]

what i think is more noticable is i don't think their pitch/tone sounds as nice as a bunch of other switches, but i assume if you buy raptors you're not mainly picking for sound as your main pov anyway

[glacial wind]

i haven't really heard of anyone outside the very small enthusiast community hate the astros friction wise

[tawdry tree]

Not hate really but a couple pointed it out

and kind of made their stability void to me

to a degree

[glacial wind]

yeah that's kind of what I mean though, that I don't think anyone outside of that small community noticing or pointing it out

[little glen]

I can feel it on some switches if i really try

[glacial wind]

yeah you basically have to be super focused on it, and also use another looser mx switch back to back

[little glen]

But i also had an issue with some switches having like spring resonance or some shit

[tawdry tree]

if you don’t notice it normally, it’s good

[little glen]

I mean i took the raptors off anyway

Cause i prefer the sound of my rawhuks

[glacial wind]

i think that's common to a lot of switches nowadays. bag lubing is a must for me with springs

[little glen]

And the wobble difference isnt high enough for me to keep it

[glacial wind]

which is actually annoying because i can't bag lube mine because i need to keep them stock for video/sound stuff

[little glen]

I have dry pingless springs with no such issues

[glacial wind]

yeah but pingless is it's own thing

none of the switches are using pingless springs stock

[little glen]

True

[glacial wind]

i always bag lube all my main switches normally

[tawdry tree]

Has geon said anything about pingless for raptor v2s?

[glacial wind]

honestly i need to get another set of whatever i'll use in my main gaming keyboard so that I can have a hand lubed set for springs

[little glen]

I mean at this point why not use one board for gaming where you bag lube and all that and one you leave dry for content/work

[glacial wind]

yeah that's probably my plan, but i have to get more switches

most switches i only have one set of them

[little glen]

To be fair it could be a good video or blog post where you describe all the possible mods you can do to a switch and what it can improve/change

Like bag lubing springs, hand lubing switches, frankenswitch etc

Maybe bring up some of the downsides too

Could also add some stabiliser stuff in there

[glacial wind]

yeah all of that is already planned actually

[little glen]

Good

If you do make a video, please also make a blog post or similar

Much better searchability

[glacial wind]

yeah the first blog in that series is actually already done and ready to go, but we haven't published it because the page formatting been not ideal for it, so we're making a new template for it

uhhh I applied tapemod manually to my 80he and the yuiop[]hjkl;'\ keys sound louder than the 1234qwerasdzxvc any idea what could be wrong

[ruby hill]

Why owlab build not using ow Ti he

[little glen]

different keys are bound to sound differently

due to position and other factors like stuff around them

[peak breach]

Cause raptor better

Snake recolor?

IMO magneto poms are more stable

Snakes are great but og POM still goated for me (personal pref)

[trail bane]

Yep, you def should try them

[north girder]

guess the switches all are build into wooting uwus

there are 6 different switches in there 2 of them are gamescom loot and not released yet

[little glen]

you got some tikkens?

[north girder]

idk

if u tell me wich ones u think sound like tikkens i can confirm if they are tikkens or not

[little glen]

i got 1

[chilly mural]

7 8 6 5 6 6 out of 10 in order

Can't guess which is which

[north girder]

huh?

what are those numbers

i clacked 6 different uwus with 6 different switches
in order so 1 2 3 4 5 6

[chilly mural]

Like how good the switch sound out of 10

[north girder]

ah ok

do u like lecker 45 v1 ?

because they are in one of the uwus

[chilly mural]

Idk, it's just what I hear lmao.

[north girder]

guess wich ones are the lekker 45 v1

[chilly mural]

The second one? Sounds kinda close to lekker v2

[calm pulsar]

just look at the switch, tikkens have a closed bottom

[glacial wind]

There’s not a chance anyone can tell what switch is what on a random sound test like this with no reference

[rigid raptor]

hmm all my other wootings have the tapemod that's pre-installed (with the drawings and all) and it sounds quite uniform. But maybe im skill issuing, I do software so I don't know much about modding keyboards 😅

[sacred elm]

Maybe try 1 layer

Hm yea I did 3 layers

[tropic urchin]

The preinstalled tape mod is a partial one so maybe the difference you’re hearing is the full tape mod vs the partial

[rigid raptor]

Maybe its moreso that different keys sound way too different to each other

the middle ones are deep, thock, loud and on the edges it sounds much lighter

[quasi hinge]

Brother, I cannot tell the difference

But thank you

[fervent lake]

Is the 3d file of the wooting 60 HE+ case available? i want to model off of it

[quasi hinge]

Maybe Ill buy a few

To test

[quasi hinge]

Hate is a strong word, I just said they had looser tolerances than the OG POMs

[quasi hinge]

I think they sound the same too haha

[trail bane]

Yeah pretty same, imho snakes are light clack, helios is more deep poppier than og poms

[fervent lake]

thats exactly what i was looking for <3 thank you!

[quasi hinge]

I trust you on this

But if they are a recolor of snakes

Then they also have the same tolerances

And IMO OG POMs have tighter tolerances than the snakes ever so slightly

(With no friction issues)

Try other switches instead of TTC, their new releases are basically POMs with some minor magnet changes

Not worth.

[kind helm]

7/10

[ionic breach]

silver goes with any colour

[manic hound]

I’m thinking it would look nice/professional when clients come to my office, but willing for advice if y’all want to help me find some good keycaps

[quasi hinge]

Im not sticking to TTC just because, I only considered the other TTC switch because they were made of POM.

Looking for POM switches better than OG TTC POMs

TTC or not

POM pls lol

[quasi hinge]

Waiting for superior switch made of POM

[kind helm]

silver + white =

[ionic breach]

[manic hound]

[north girder]

[calm pulsar]
