[tropic urchin]

They could be a conversation starter if this look is what you’re looking for

But if you want a safe pick I’d try to find the usual/non transparent keycap look

[manic hound]

See I like these, and I know these look professional, but want to maybe be slightly more creative

[quasi hinge]

I feel you, I did black on black for mine

[manic hound]

Yes I love this look, but I want the zinc alloy haha

[kind helm]

[quasi hinge]

I did this for my office

[kind helm]

Ahhhhhhhhh so good

[manic hound]

Yeah I’m trying my darndest to not use black and be somewhat different, I can understand why you chose that though

[manic hound]

Beauty

[ionic breach]

not black

[tropic urchin]

https://kbdfans.com/collections/keycaps/products/gmk-cyl-just-beachy

[quasi hinge]

Ty sir

[kind helm]

gives me a "trust me bro" feel under professional environment

[manic hound]

Bruh I’d lose business with those keycaps

I’m an accountant CPA🤣

[kind helm]

also this

beige is too good

[quasi hinge]

Sleeper build haha

Premium feel without the attention

[ionic breach]

oh wrinker

its great

[manic hound]

Beige is pretty nice

[kind helm]

"i am professional and i got a bit of personality in a good way"

[manic hound]

That’s why I thought the x rays were cool and still somewhat professional

[quasi hinge]

IMO they still look too flashy

It will attract attention

They are not keycaps you would see everyday in an office

If you low pro is your goal

Then go traditional but very premium

My 2 cents

[ionic breach]

this and financial kit would be my pick

[quasi hinge]

Still loud

[north girder]

me as a german iso layout enjoyer feel left out in the key cap community

[quasi hinge]

If goal is low pro

[kind helm]

thats why i immediately went for gmk biege. gud lookin, has 2 different color so not tooo boring, and classy lookin

[quasi hinge]

Yeah but no funky keycaps

[manic hound]

Yeah I get that, I’m having a hard time finding something unique and professional but I guess those are counterintuitive statements

[quasi hinge]

You want a sleeper build

IMO anything else will distract

[glossy pagoda]

Optimum case and keycaps; nothing says professional more than grey on grey

[north girder]

aslong as u dont make your keyboard look to colorful i think it looks professional

[glossy pagoda]

Real pros don't need legends anyway

[quasi hinge]

True, it is very low pro

[sacred elm]

Optimum case 🫦

[north girder]

i need em im a noob

[quasi hinge]

Same lol

Even though ive clocked in literal years

[north girder]

i got my keychron mints thats good enough for me i guess

[manic hound]

I would love the optimum case but I need arrow keys and Fn cuz I use excel all day

[glossy pagoda]

Start with the optimum set then, and then later convince your boss that if they fund a new gmk set for you that your increased productivity will pay for the keycaps and then some

[quasi hinge]

Get a white 80HE haha

Switch to all white

BOW

[kind helm]

i just realize bros ID is 69 420

[quasi hinge]

Respect

[manic hound]

I honestly lowk like the raw zinc it looks sleek

[quasi hinge]

I cerakoted my 80HE

Its like a dark pewter color

With some additions… cough cough

[glossy pagoda]

Oh hey I know that board

It looks nice

[quasi hinge]

Ty sir

[manic hound]

What keycaps are these

[manic hound]

I didn’t even realize, is that the glorious GMMK case?

[quasi hinge]

Its not a wooting, lemokey p1 pro

Just needed something premium feel for the office

Lemme find a pic of my cerakoted 80HE top portion

[kind helm]

just search up biege keycaps you should find them, a long of different companies made them

[rigid raptor]

I realized its because I dont have all the screws in my pcba. Where there is a screw it sounds thock. idk how i didnt notice before tapemod

[quasi hinge]

Best board of my life

Wooting 4eva

[kind helm]

then you grab these type of things saperately

me like mr. drakon's taste hehe

[manic hound]

https://divinikey.com/products/pbtfans-office-beige-keycaps?variant=41969368301633&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&srsltid=AfmBOopNfyC_k3U6AXQiY_R7dCWVDU6-NwA8jR_LbzpQWunY-8DAwrjFQ2o

Literally just called corporate keycaps lmao

[quasi hinge]

Id go for this haha

Low pro

[ionic breach]

his is the 9009

which is with green and pick accents

[ionic breach]

pbtfans has a lot of these with different colour legends

[kind helm]

biege da best

[quasi hinge]

Id agree

[manic hound]

Ugggh I can’t decide

I like the x rays😭

But yall are right

[tropic urchin]

I’d get what speaks to you personally, if it’s the X-rays then get those. As long as it isn’t the neon highlighter keycaps drakon sent, I don’t think there’s a wrong answer for keycap choice.

[manic hound]

I don’t think they are neon or anything

[quasi hinge]

Do you have a home build?

Get those for home

Try to separate work keeb from home keeb if the situation requires it

Stick those on a white 80HE

[tawdry tree]

The light green one doesn’t have a tactile leaf, so presumably another Spark recolor. Or maybe if the Emerald doesn’t have a split stem, the lighter green one could be a non-split non-tactile version.

Can you open them up and make a picture? Or is Gateron paying you too much?

[north girder]

i payed for those

i got a discount but they werent free

left over switches from gamescom

[tawdry tree]

How much were they even?

[manic hound]

I work from home and from the office, but I have clients coming to my house for tax stuff sometimes

I honestly like the raw zinc more so than the white case

Might just say F it and get a zinc case with x rays keycaps

[warm tree]

i have raw with x rays and they didn’t match super well imo

beautiful on a white case tho

[manic hound]

Do you???

Can you send a picture

(If you have one)

[glacial wind]

ah man the satisfying feel of perfect stabs after xht-bdz

it really is jesus juice for these older gateron stabs

[calm pulsar]

it would seem jesus turned water into xht-bdz

[glacial wind]

i would believe it

[tropic urchin]

Here I was thinking xht-bdz was a new kdrama abbrev

[glacial wind]

just modded a whole 80he for one of our podcast sponsored guys, he got my old gateron jade pros that I couldn't use for sound tests since they were hand lubed and bag lubed springs

it's been awhile since i used some of those previous gen switches, but they still hold up so well

[trail bane]

Finally got my money, now I'm wondering if it's worth buying GMK or Tofu TKL. In both cases ma mom will be mad at me and I’ll have to convince her somehow

[fervent lake]

Thanks for the help <3

[sacred elm]

[fervent lake]

Sadly i am stupid and forgot the cable hole :)

[stoic ocean]

You did this with a 3d printer?

[fervent lake]

Yea

Got my p1s next to my desk

[stoic ocean]

I want a printer and make mouse

[quasi hinge]

Pic?

[warm tree]

the case has a much cooler tone than the caps, they don’t look terrible but just didn’t match well for my tastes

[warm tree]

I don’t have a white case but someone posted a pic on the white case somewhere in this server

[manic hound]

Very helpful my man I seriously appreciate it

Maybe I should get a white case if I want these key caps

[warm tree]

I think they look really good on white

the caps themselves are very nice looking they just didnt match what i’m going for

[manic hound]

I’m trying to find a keycap that’s not too boring but still professional for the raw case

Else I’ll just get white or something

[tropic urchin]

The raw tone and flow marks make it hard to get a proper keycap set to fit imo

[warm tree]

I have resonance r2 on it now and i like how it looks

waiting for the gmk orenji set to open for group buy though

[manic hound]

Might just have to get the white case then

[uneven cradle]

Dualshot is pretty clean

[manic hound]

Ugh

That does look good

Reminds me too much of old PlayStation aesthetic before they stopped trying

$139.99 is ludicrous though lol

[warm tree]

this is mine currently

[manic hound]

Not my taste personally, but looks cool either way

I feel like I just need to not get raw zinc

[prime orbit]

Holy raptor v2

[tropic urchin]

Sorry you’re not allowed to be excited about raptors, Prince Aligner hath decreed

[prime orbit]

WHAT

[tropic urchin]

The correct phrase is “what the helly” @prime orbit

[prime orbit]

Aligner my biggest opp

What the Haliburton

[calm pulsar]

the raptor v2 lore deepens

like shattering of the elden ring

[tawdry tree]

https://youtu.be/AiA3km0fMiU 👀

[tropic urchin]

Idk I came into aligner tearing his ear drums out over the astrolink raptor V3s so now it’s getting memed

[calm pulsar]

bro didnt even have the best switch gg

[tawdry tree]

disliked, unsubscribed, reported.

[sacred elm]

Who won

[tawdry tree]

I haven’t watched it yet

[tropic urchin]

Deep clackers

[sacred elm]

[tawdry tree]

always the clackers man

[tropic urchin]

Keep up with the times yunc

[glacial wind]

Oh it’s sponsored by milktooth

So I guess it’s just switches that they stock

[manic hound]

Tbf, they have a lot of switches in stock compared to other retailers

[glacial wind]

their selection isn’t bad, but it’s missing a lot of popular picks still

[prime orbit]

Aura

[glacial wind]

Speaking of sponsor videos did anyone watch that chair sponsor video from score esports

[tropic urchin]

Between milktooth and divinikey it’s all NAs got 🥀

[manic hound]

I’ve been wanting to try stickyrice v2s, they sound so good and are slept on

[glacial wind]

That was most disappointing gaming chair video I’ve ever seen lol

[manic hound]

lol most gaming chairs are horrible for your back long term

[glacial wind]

They’re really old and tolerances are not great compared to new stuff

They’re not even particularly deep sounding either

There just weren’t many switches when sticky rice v2 came out and some channels named them thocky

[uneven cradle]

Also pretty terrible v1

[manic hound]

Can’t really buy switches outside of Milktooth, Divinkey or Amazon in NA

SO having options is nice

[glacial wind]

Yeah na got wrecked with the whole tariffs stuff

[uneven cradle]

Yeah AliExpress is goated for that

[glacial wind]

your options really died the moment buying from aliexpress got complicated

[tawdry tree]

The ones by Haimu are fine but they’re an absolute pain to pull out.

[manic hound]

The di-minimis exemption ending really just annoys tf out of me

[tawdry tree]

Well, you’re not alone but trump won’t listen to anyone, like any good president shouldn’t. 😂😂

[manic hound]

I’m really curious who the economic advisors he has in his cabinet are. Like the ones you don’t see on the news. Because most people in my professional space (CPAs) were all scratching their heads liberal and republican

Hopefully divinkey restocks

[tawdry tree]

He’s his own economic advisor

lol

[glacial wind]

It’s a pity because they had some good chairs in the video but it was a sponsored video so they skipped or cut out any comparison vs their sponsored ergonomic gaming chair lol

They had an aeron in the mix, but anytime it was talked about they avoided comparing to their sponsored option lol

[manic hound]

I had a friend buy one of those secret lab chairs and it might have been the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever sat in

[quasi hinge]

Brother loves the POMS

[glacial wind]

He rated lavenders so highly for just being recolored jades

But I guess his options were limited due to it having to be from milktooth

[quasi hinge]

Personal pref right haha

[manic hound]

Btw the AERON is literally goated

As most people agree

[quasi hinge]

There are many more

[glacial wind]

Well I think that’s not really personal preference as much as he didn’t have a lot of the switches that might have been better

[quasi hinge]

Polar pros top it in your opinion right

At least in bottom out

[glacial wind]

just for stability in bottom out. Awful sound though

[quasi hinge]

100 on the sound

[glacial wind]

My gateron sparks arrive today or tomorrow so I’m going to compare and see polar pro vs them for wobble

[quasi hinge]

That should be interesting

[harsh dove]

I like the chair video from Gamers Nexus from awhile back

Basically comparing gaming chairs to Herman Millers and knock-off Herman millers etc

Essentially the knock-off Herman millers won

[glacial wind]

I got an aeron remastered recently, it’s been well worth the money, especially since it was a grey market import for half price lol

[glacial wind]

I’ll have to check it out, a lot of the knock off aerons I feel missing things like that forward tilt function

[lyric nimbus]

OK

back on campus

time to mod my 2he

[harsh dove]

Yeah they definitely don’t have as many features

[lyric nimbus]

the alu case 2he will be

real

also fr4 plate

[calm pulsar]

its funny how jade gaming and green dragons were in one bracket

both trash

[tawdry tree]

Ti HE predecessors essentially

don’t like that Milk included half recolors tho

literally half are recolors

lol

[harsh dove]

Living in NA ain’t so bad when you already have the best switches

[tropic urchin]

True, having legs is optional

[harsh dove]

Damn I was gonna post a wheelchair gif but that’s kinda messed up

[tropic urchin]

You have mod status, you’re fine @harsh dove

[harsh dove]

I think that makes it worse

[tropic urchin]

Fine I’ll do it

https://tenor.com/view/rocket-wheelchair-helmet-gif-7135919967580189206

[glacial wind]

Oh no wonder the knock off cheap office chairs won

[tropic urchin]

Me with my WASD flux raptor build

[glacial wind]

They rated it with just one aeron and not properly fitted for the people

Aeron is uncomfortable as hell if you don’t get the sizing and settings right

[calm pulsar]

shoulda posted this

[thorn zealot]

whoever answers this summer math question correctly for me i will get a new set of switches of ur choice

this summer math is makin me crash out

[tropic urchin]

You’re right I missed a slam dunk with a shattered backboard

[manic hound]

Bro just throw in gpt

Your generation is cooked

[thorn zealot]

already 0/1

[harsh dove]

Yeah lmao I guess I should mention it’s not like an in depth analysis

Just blindfold test

With random chairs they had around the office pretty much

[manic hound]

It’s wild that there will be virtually 0 job competition in 20 years when kids can’t critically read, think or do anything without GPT lol

[glacial wind]

I asked my good friend.

It really is a problem lol

[manic hound]

Use a different model

[glacial wind]

Honestly the upcoming gen really is screwed with the whole ChatGPT thing

they’ll figure out better systems for a lot of things eventually but for now it breaks so many things

[tawdry tree]

why is it wrong?

[thorn zealot]

tell me abt it

[tawdry tree]

I’m lost 😭

[thorn zealot]

i was just trollin with this question

[manic hound]

lol Its not even Ai that’s concerning it’s the fact that the people using it will have 0 critical thinking abilities to understand what the Ai is spitting out

[thorn zealot]

but i can see it among my friends

[manic hound]

Doubt it lmao

[glacial wind]

I have no idea, I didn’t even check the question or answer in true ChatGPT usage

[tropic urchin]

That’s why you ask it to show its work

[harsh dove]

They essentially don’t have to skills to research what the AI is giving them and if it’s right or wrong

[sacred elm]

Charge your phone bud

[harsh dove]

No

[tropic urchin]

He just needs the new iPhone 21 pro max

[sacred elm]

[glacial wind]

Its breaking the job market too

[harsh dove]

Fun fact, I’ve never plugged this phone in before

It’s only ever been wirelessly charged

[glacial wind]

Job applicants getting mass spammed by ai

[tawdry tree]

😭

[lyric nimbus]

the dream i have been waiting for

is almost real now

the BEAUTIFUL CNC MILL AT MY UNIVERSITY!!!!!!!!

[glacial wind]

People I’ve talked to mention interviews where large majority of the respondents submit assignments totally done by ChatGPT too lol

[harsh dove]

Now you can make us all CNC’d Acrylic/PC Cases for our Wootings

Thanks in advance

[lyric nimbus]

FUCK YOU!!!!!!

[harsh dove]

[lyric nimbus]

IM MAKING AN ALU 2HE CASE

[harsh dove]

Yeah I can only imagine

[calm pulsar]

https://youtu.be/GKnAWcWnJJc?list=RDGKnAWcWnJJc

[glacial wind]

Wait isn’t it the same generation that got socially screwed by Covid that’s now in uni/first job market getting screwed by ChatGPT now

[tropic urchin]

I admire your tenacity 🫡

[harsh dove]

Think so

[glacial wind]

What a rough generation to be in

[harsh dove]

Gen alpha or whatever they call it

[thorn zealot]

ok now that im actually lookin at the prob for more than 5 secs its rly ez

[manic hound]

Meh, I don’t believe environmental factors should dictate your future output. Kind of a weak mentality to have lol

[lyric nimbus]

i wanna make a keyboard like this

the case

[manic hound]

Shouldn’t be the end all be all. It MIGHT dictate your ceiling because of lack of resources obviously, but I still think you can work hard and get somewhere these days

[glacial wind]

I think it’s more that I don’t even know what the job market is going to be like for them in near future. Feels like those guys are getting squeezed out

[manic hound]

Might be a fleeting mindset though, gets worse every year

[prime orbit]

I forgot where the keys go

[harsh dove]

All I know is giving your life to the same company for 10-20+ years doesn’t usually pay off

Better to job hop after a couple years to make more money

[tropic urchin]

QWERTYUIOP/ ASDFGHJKL / ZXCVBNM

[glacial wind]

I’d honestly be scared to job hop right now unless I was in AI or a hot market

[calm pulsar]

nah bro you're just flexing your rapters

[harsh dove]

Yeah that’s the other thing, it’s not always viable

Especially now

[prime orbit]

[manic hound]

lol

[glacial wind]

from what I’ve heard the job market is rough nowadays

[prime orbit]

Accusations

[kind helm]

in AI market still scared

[prime orbit]

W mans

[manic hound]

Ahaha what kind of mindset is that?

Wild.

[glacial wind]

? What’s that have to do with mindset

[harsh dove]

I mean he has 69420 in his name

[glacial wind]

I’m not saying you can’t succeed, but times are definitely tougher than in the past statistically

[calm pulsar]

what kind of grindset is that

[manic hound]

You would rather take less pay opportunity at a worse company, instead of looking elsewhere because you don’t work in Ai? As if Ai is the only hot field right now?

[glacial wind]

A lot of folks are not job hopping right now due to how the market is

they’re staying in jobs longer

This is pure statistics that you can look up

The average job is also taking much longer to find and many more applications to get there

This has nothing to do with grindset and no one can succeed mentality etc etc.

[manic hound]

Idk man, to each his own. I’m not arguing job stats or anything.

But if I was unhappy in a current job/field whatever, I would work to change my situation or find something else, Ai be damned or not.

Won’t catch me worrying about every single thing in the future that hasn’t happened yet

[harsh dove]

Yeah just the current state of the job market

[glacial wind]

I think you’re mixing up topics rtx

[manic hound]

I’m really not.

[glacial wind]

No one is saying you shouldn’t have a positive attitude and that hard work doesn’t pay off

[sacred elm]

What is this discussion in my modding channel

Unacceptable.

[glacial wind]

We’re just talking pure stats of the job market

[calm pulsar]

yeah go to 80he channel with that talk cause blue names be needing a job

[harsh dove]

I gotta take my dog out n check the mail

[prime orbit]

The red hue goes crazy

[manic hound]

I just read this reply, and assumed you wouldn’t switch because you were scared of Ai, not because the market is bad or whatever

[glacial wind]

Don’t worry we got your back shafie, you’re prime age for the job market now. I’ll have ChatGPT write a good resume regarding sony references

[harsh dove]

ShafieGPT

[tropic urchin]

I’m a fan, I think the red housing looks better than the OG POM reds vomit

[glacial wind]

I’m not talking about myself. I have jobs that I’m happy with

We’re just talking about the general job market for younger folks

[harsh dove]

^^

[prime orbit]

Idk what color to do

[tropic urchin]

That’s a nice red

[prime orbit]

Ok wait this looks peak

[tropic urchin]

I like to split the board 50/50 for color, so you could maybe try that too. Get two colors you like and pick a side for each

Left half red, right blue @prime orbit might be cool

[prime orbit]

Lemme try

Hollow purple in the middle

[tropic urchin]

I fuck with it

[calm pulsar]

are you a cop

[prime orbit]

👮‍♂️

[tropic urchin]

No he’s a pollster

[manic hound]

Even so, that’s still such a bad motive for future outlook. I really don’t know any successful people who think like that.

I guess if you want to be safe and not worry about life, hopefully you land in some niche space that never gets automated, replaced or offshored.

You definitely should evaluate your abilities and what you think strengths are before pursing something, but we would have 0 innovators, entrepreneurs, doctors / lawyers / pharmacists if everyone just sat on their laurels because job markets were bad/ ai was too strong / entry positions don’t exist etc.

Rant over I understand this Isint the place haha

[glacial wind]

I really think you’re reading into this and thinking we’re talking about something completely different

None of us were referring to anything in that reply

[manic hound]

I don’t know who “we’re is” but the only reply I was referring to was you discussing that nobody should be changing jobs, looking into different careers etc. if it wasn’t Ai because the market is bad . That’s all

[glacial wind]

I never said that.

[manic hound]

^this

[glacial wind]

I said statistically people are changing jobs less right now due to insecure job market

[manic hound]

Maybe I misunderstood 🤷

[calm pulsar]

he was more saying that people are less inclined to change jobs right now and not that everyone should do that

[glacial wind]

^

[uneven cradle]

Job security is pretty important to me right now I know that 😂

Half my team got laid off

[prime orbit]

So you got a spot open

[uneven cradle]

You see that's where you're wrong

[prime orbit]

[chilly mural]

Hopefully i can get a job in the future. My bet is that places here have slower adoption in AI

[glacial wind]

Yeah a lot of the tech folks I know were able to find new jobs but they had a much longer than typical time trying to land spots in openings these days

[calm pulsar]

good thing you have your job as a Wooting mod

sorry if the joke is too far

[uneven cradle]

Job market is rough, my manager left because he didn't like the job and now he is asking for his job back because he couldn't find anything after leaving

And we are not rehiring

[manic hound]

Bro just left with no other job lined up?

🤣

[uneven cradle]

Yeah well they offered voluntary redundancy and he took it

[manic hound]

Oh so he was let go

[prime orbit]

I do that

Like rn

I can’t find a job

[manic hound]

Wait voluntary?

[uneven cradle]

Eh not exactly let go it's voluntary

[manic hound]

Ah I see

[glacial wind]

At some point they’ll have to figure out how to stop the nonsense of ai applications and ai sifting through those applications too lol

[uneven cradle]

They were just trying to cut numbers and offered incentives for people to leave

[glacial wind]

It’s absurd that every job opening is getting slammed by ai bot applications that the interviewer has to use ai to sort them

[manic hound]

Oof

[calm pulsar]

in that case the applicants simply need to use AI to make resumes look more genuine

[tropic urchin]

Or you have to apply in person back in the good ol days of 1825

[manic hound]

At some point you gotta network out of just cold spamming resumes, I feel like that just never bodes well for anyone

[calm pulsar]

"I'm not leaving until you give me the job"

[manic hound]

Understand if your trying to break into an industry with no experience though

[glacial wind]

I heard from a lot of different hiring folks that they’re hiring a lot based on word of mouth reference vs trying to sift through a million ai applications these days

[harsh dove]

I’ll just tell these kids to work at Walmart/McDonalds and invest in stocks and Roth IRA

[glacial wind]

So if a friend refers them to the job it’s like a golden ticket to getting an interview vs. the pile of well written ai cover letters

[calm pulsar]

im halfway through the HE switch showdown and funny enough, jade pros, rubys and moonlight were most praised so far

[glacial wind]

I get the feeling he just likes the basic jade sound because half his picks are that

[harsh dove]

Is that the video from Alex?

[glacial wind]

And half the switches are jades anyway lol

[chilly mural]

I guess this is for the best, more human connection

[calm pulsar]

yeah and I can relate to that tbh, to me this type is probably the least HE feeling of them all

[chilly mural]

Rather than AI on AI

[calm pulsar]

yeah

[harsh dove]

Oh okay

[glacial wind]

Yeah honestly the 80he I built today for someone with the Jade pros sounded great

They’re still a good pleasant switch despite not being as new as owlab and such

[tropic urchin]

W orchids

[glacial wind]

Yeah it’s fine for folks with experience since they have friends and references to get in, just rough place for new folks fresh out of college

[trail bane]

Lavender HE

[harsh dove]

Makes me think of that video with that girl with two degrees and a bunch of certs and put in like over 200 applications and still couldn't find a job lol

[manic hound]

No internships, networks or anything?

[harsh dove]

I mean even when my mom finished college back in her day she said it was hard to find a job without experience even with a degree

[calm pulsar]

I referenced my friend for the job opening we had in my team

he didnt pass the interview and judging by his story it seems he had it way tougher than I did lol

[harsh dove]

I think she said she did internships but not sure

[glacial wind]

There was an interesting episode of that lemonade stand podcast recently where they asked their discord about experiences in job market recently

[manic hound]

Yea need to get that network and internship under control because a degree can be meaningless without those in addition

[glacial wind]

Just a ton of people replying with insane number of applications and searching to eventually land the jobs vs how it was 5-10 years ago

I’m just glad my gen was right before college fees went nuts

Can’t imagine combining tough market with the absurd price of college these days

[harsh dove]

and just for it to not pay off

College ≠ Educated

[manic hound]

Some private schools be charging 70/80k a year which makes me cringe

[glacial wind]

get warranty transferred to you if you can

We make our warranty transferable in the wooting hub if you both have accounts and he was the original orderer

https://help.wooting.io/article/79-transferring-ownership-of-an-order

You don’t need to register anything fancy, it’s just the order in his hub

Assuming he made an account to track his order that’s all it needs

[harsh dove]

Easier for you then to register it without the need for transfer

[quasi hinge]

Sno, did you get your delivery yet lol

[glacial wind]

Which one, I have a lot of stuff coming lol

[quasi hinge]

Lamerons

[glacial wind]

Oh sparks? Nah I get that tomorrow probably

Gateron supposedly sent me stuff too but I don’t know how long that will take since it took ttc package 3 weeks via the Chinese postal system

So the incoming sparks I have are via sanders samples

[uneven cradle]

Is one of those things a camera bag yet

[glacial wind]

Nah I think I decided on the wotancraft leather one but I’ll just buy that when I’m in Taiwan later this year for wootstock

otherwise taxes going to wreck me since it’s over import limit for leather goods in Korea lol

helps that wotancraft is a Taiwan company so their main shop is there

[uneven cradle]

Damn jealous I want to go to Taiwan and eat food

[manic hound]

Based Taiwan 🇹🇼

[glacial wind]

I am looking forward to having a diet they will consist of 50% din tai fung while in Taiwan

[calm pulsar]

alexotos chose jade dragons vs fluxes

[uneven cradle]

Damn there stuff do be nice but also those prices

[ionic breach]

the black one?

[glacial wind]

Yeah

[ionic breach]

oo that one is nice

[glacial wind]

Yeah looks very normal fancy messenger bag vs being a camera bag

only thing is the absurd price cause it’s full leather

[tropic urchin]

Based

[manic hound]

Anyone see the new ortho linear he asus dog is dropping

Without thumb clusters

[glacial wind]

It’s interesting how poorly the flux did in his matchup there

Getting picked below Jade dragon switches is rough. Those don’t sound that great

[ionic breach]

i got a full leather backpack for my birthday

it cost a lot and i just never used it

[glacial wind]

Honestly the non leather version of the bag looks nice too, but just not my style as much

[calm pulsar]

ohh astrolinks seem to have become way cheaper on AE

I can probably skip ordering rapters from geon

[tawdry tree]

Ortho linear HE?

[harsh dove]

Aren't Jade Dragons those circular stems?

[glacial wind]

Waxed canvas doesn’t look bad

[manic hound]

Yea split keyboard

[calm pulsar]

nah green dragons are a recolor of jade gaming pretty much, not sure if anything in them changes compared to gamings

[tawdry tree]

Their split wasn’t ortho

[harsh dove]

Ah okay

[manic hound]

Without the thumb cluster

Basically

[glacial wind]

I really did not like the jade gaming when I tried them

[harsh dove]

Yeah now I can't trust Alex

[calm pulsar]

I was surprised that lavenders held quite well
though Alex didnt really compare wobble and such things

[tawdry tree]

You mean just their split HE board or something new?

[harsh dove]

I actually really like the Lavenders

[calm pulsar]

its kinda funny cause lavenders have been 90% of tikkens all this time

with their 3.7mm travel

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[manic hound]

It’s called the Falcata or something stupid like that google it

[harsh dove]

and they sound good to me too

wobble isn't as good as switches now but they are decent

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, that’s just their split board

not ortho but it’s pretty interesting nonetheless

[harsh dove]

Lol

Only took them like 7 months to finally send me this

[glacial wind]

Are 5090s even hard to find still?

[harsh dove]

No

[calm pulsar]

just in time for 6090 to be released

[harsh dove]

just stupidly priced still

[harsh dove]

Right lol

I could've easily sold my 4090 for a 5090 for barely any cost tho

[glacial wind]

I’m glad asus made their new monitor grey bezels so that I’m not tempted to buy it

[harsh dove]

I just didn't wanna deal with 50 series issues tbh

[glacial wind]

Don’t need to justify new computer to power new monitor if I don’t buy new monitor

[calm pulsar]

yeah upgrades like that are still good, if you can sell previous stuff for not much less
im still meaning to go from 7800x3d to 9800x3d but it's held off cause im getting a ps5

[harsh dove]

My next monitor will be Primary RGB Tandem OLED

aka 4th gen OLED

[harsh dove]

Why you getting P5? and yeah I sold my 7800X3D for 9800X3D for like $70 difference

[calm pulsar]

I will just list games that are true exclusives cause otherwise I wouldn't want a console right now:

Death Stranding 2
Gran Turismo 7
Demon's Souls
Shadow of the Colossus
Bloodborne (way better on PC but still some work to be done about stutters)
and GTA 6 ofc

[stoic ocean]

Ps5 for what gta6?

[harsh dove]

Fair enough, I played Demon Souls on PS5, it's pretty nice

I never played Shadow but heard it's really good

Bloodborne is solid, never tried it on PC

and GTA VI makes sense

[calm pulsar]

yeah it's actually a remake from the same studio that made Demon's Souls remake

[harsh dove]

Oh okay nice

[calm pulsar]

shadps4 devs are doing insane job of emulating ps4 hardware, you can play the game in 60 fps and higher now depending on the hardware, but there are still some hangs with the memory that they are working on

[harsh dove]

I swear I have a super old copy of Gran Turismo in one of those old plastic shitty CD Cases that would always break from like 2003

[shrewd onyx]

Guysss u need help

does jjs stand for anything?

[harsh dove]

[prime orbit]

The 540hz one? Or the 280hz?

I want the 540hz one

Looks peak

[ionic breach]

welp hes off to his next channel

[harsh dove]

I'm not really a compy gamer anymore so 280Hz would be fine for me

I'll still stomp kids on 280Hz

[prime orbit]

Maybe a 4k 240hz

?

[harsh dove]

Yeah ideally 4K or 5K

[prime orbit]

Or you like the 1440p

Ah ok

[harsh dove]

I'm on 3440x1440 rn so I'd wanna jump up

[prime orbit]

I think anything is better than my 1080p 144hz lmao

[harsh dove]

Even tho my 2nd monitor is 4K lol

Yeah lol

[shrewd onyx]

Guys

Guysss

Is anyone here mod in jjs

Ju jit su shenanigans

If u are pls tell me

[calm pulsar]

2K is super solid these days, 4K would require a top of the line GPU imo, for comfortable experience and 2k is much more forgiving while still giving an upgrade over 1080p

[shrewd onyx]

Arc

Do u play

[harsh dove]

I am inexperienced in the JIS

[shrewd onyx]

Are u mod

[harsh dove]

Yes

[shrewd onyx]

Actually

[calm pulsar]

no idea what the topic is rn sorry lol

[harsh dove]

I mean my tag says so

I think I am therefore I am

[shrewd onyx]

I been looking

For a mod for so long

[prime orbit]

I think because I play comp fps mostly. 1440p is the max I’ll go and I want higher hz over picture quality anyway. So the new 540hz oled is perfect. Plus true glossy woled is a bonus

[ionic breach]

its apparently a roblox game

[shrewd onyx]

Yea

[harsh dove]

Well there's a lot of mods here tbh

[shrewd onyx]

4k 240hz OLED is nice esp with simulation mode if you go for the 32” model

[harsh dove]

Yeah don't ask the same question in multiple channels

just stick to one

[shrewd onyx]

Mb I did not know

[shrewd onyx]

Wait

[prime orbit]

32’ is too big

[shrewd onyx]

Are u mod in discord or in Roblox

[calm pulsar]

well here you did a good job

[prime orbit]

IM WORKING ON IT

The highest you should go for 1440p is 27’ right?

[harsh dove]

27" is said to be the sweet spot

[trail bane]

Gn

[harsh dove]

for pixel density

[prime orbit]

Gotcha

[calm pulsar]

yeah I went from 1080p 24" to 2k 27" and it was both a size and pixel density upgrade

and I'd probably not go higher than 27" for PC

[prime orbit]

Bet bet

[tropic urchin]

That’s why you have simulation mode

its the max u should go honestly

[tropic urchin]

With OLED black it fades into the background

Get bigger desk and you can have a bigger monitor

[prime orbit]

I built my own 90’ desk

You don't say? scrolls up

[jagged hazel]

just wondering if anyone has done the gasket mount/oring mod on the tofu60 case and is it worth it?

[ionic breach]

god i cant wait for pompeii

[calm pulsar]

friction mounting using an oring or wooting's friction mount thing is def worth it over standard tray mounting

[ionic breach]

their samples look great

[calm pulsar]

that is super nice damn

[jagged hazel]

yeah im on the wooting 60 using the tofu case, i like the sound and feel rn but ive heard the oring mount is better for some. which oring do i get? im looking at the bakeneko 60 o-ring and dunno if its compatible

[sacred elm]

Are you using friction fit pad now?

[jagged hazel]

no standard mount

[sacred elm]

Then get it

[jagged hazel]

is that one compatible? never done the friction mount on a keyboard before

[calm pulsar]

a 60% oring should work and I'd probably prefer that, but friction mount thingie is easier to install

[sacred elm]

Yes it's compatible with 60HE

Wooting has a guide how to replace stock poron foam with friction fit pad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvMwijZU-L0

[jagged hazel]

Ah wait do I get that or the oring? im using the pc plate if that helps

[calm pulsar]

friction fit pad is way more streamlined to install
oring is a little more scuffed way of doing friction mount

[ionic breach]

@wise pollen yes third party ones

[jagged hazel]

Which has a better sound/ feel?

[calm pulsar]

I never used the friction pad thing personally, so can't say for sure

I like having no foam between pcb and plate, so I'd probably go for oring, but if you don't mind having the silicone there the pad is fine

[sacred elm]

You can cut silicone for the alphas

[jagged hazel]

Gotcha. I think considering i already have an aftermarket pad i might as well go with the Oring, cheaper too so if I dont like it ill just get the pad. Thanks. might be the final step in my modded wooting. so far its the tofu 60, pc plate and he raws

[tropic urchin]

The day Wooting offers no PCB/plate silicone option for 80HE will be a glorious day

[calm pulsar]

just wait till 80hev2 with the split spacebar

[tropic urchin]

That will be the day you don’t see pink role anymore friend

[left cairn]

Is there a list for good stabilizers? I cant stand the spacebar on my 80 HE. Rattle to the moon.

[sacred elm]

https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8

[calm pulsar]

have you lubed it and balanced the wire yet? cause you have to do that on new stabs anyways

[left cairn]

I did lube it but didnt balance the wire :S

But almost no improvement

[tropic urchin]

You’ll still need to possibly tune/lube other 3rd party stabs unless you buy it prelubed/wire balanced. However over time it may need lubing a bit.

[left cairn]

The wierd thing is. The leftside sounds decent, almost no rattle. The more to the right the rattle rises (lol)

[calm pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/pink-role-pink-pinkies-sols-rng-discord-rolecism-gif-14760189552710335277

[tropic urchin]

Ironic innit

https://tenor.com/view/tea-whats-the-tea-sip-fancy-pinky-gif-3454958

[ionic breach]

it seems like u need to tune it

the vid shafie sent would do it

[left cairn]

So i probably have to open it again to check the wire i guess. Is it worth to upgrade the stabilizer?

[ionic breach]

i mean new stabs are also unlubed and not tuned

[left cairn]

Got my raptor v2's sound is great but the spacebar kills me

[sacred elm]

Stock stabilizers are just as good as third party stabilizers if you properly tune and lube them.

[left cairn]

Yeah but if im going to mod it again i just want to know if its worth to buy another stsbilizer

Alright thats what i wnated to know

[calm pulsar]

your options are trying to balance the wire, checking if the stabs arent overlubed and trying different switches

might try different of the same switch or a whole diff one

[harsh dove]

Yeah I wanna upgrade from my 63” desk to a 73”

30” deep

[tropic urchin]

You need to buy it prelubed/wire balanced if you don’t want to tune/lube

[harsh dove]

My current is 63”x30” I want 73”x30

[tropic urchin]

Otherwise you wind up back to square 1

Predone will be 2x MSRP so up to you for what you wanna do with em

[left cairn]

I mean if the board is already open to install the stabilizer (only spacebar) lube 1 wire aint that much work.

Already did but it didnt solve the Problem so i assume the wire is the problem. Didnt check it ( beginner here)

[uneven cradle]

It's a nice upgrade having a big desk

Underated

Big desk, monitor arms

So much space

[harsh dove]

[left cairn]

Quick question about the lubing. I saw a wooting vid where they said not to lube the house only the stab. Thats what i did. Any other opinions on this?

[uneven cradle]

I personally very lightly lube the housing walls with 205g0

[left cairn]

I got the G Lube von Glorious. I have no idea what kind of lube it is and if its good for stabilizers

[polar girder]

Dude a stock Wooting v2 with keysnaps will go so hard

[lyric nimbus]

whats a keysnap

[tropic urchin]

When you get mad mid game ask @fluid ravine

He has a nice video of a keysnap

[calm pulsar]

iirc keysnaps are made to work with gummy oring cutouts

[polar girder]

Ah fuck

Yeah true

RIP my dreams

I think I need to get a tray mount fr4 venom plate and keysnaps to try in frog mini

[fluid ravine]

Wdym

[polar girder]

a simple and convenient alternative to the Gummy O-ring mount.

[fluid ravine]

it's another form of friction mount or just another form of "gaskets"

they're not intended to use with gummy mount cases

[calm pulsar]

maybe I got it wrong from the description

[fluid ravine]

in the page description

they said when applying keysnap on the pcb

[tropic urchin]

Unc forgot to read

[fluid ravine]

avoid placing it near the posts of the case

as it would intefere with installation

[calm pulsar]

but leggera is supported tho?

[fluid ravine]

yes a supported case

[fluid ravine]

you can use keysnap with a gummy mount board if you install the keysnap gasket on the pcb where it would avoid the posts of the case

[calm pulsar]

damn look at that pesante from the description tho

so nice

[fluid ravine]

yurrr

[fluid ravine]

frog mini is compatible

[polar girder]

Frog Mini Peasant version

[fluid ravine]

btw

[polar girder]

I know lol

[fluid ravine]

alr yee

[calm pulsar]

pesante is expensive tho compared to beggera

[fluid ravine]

i want a set of silicone 50a

[polar girder]

None of them should be called frog mini

[fluid ravine]

knowing that i chipped my frog leggy pmo

[polar girder]

Just call them Frog Leggera and Frog Pesante

[fluid ravine]

frog biggy

[polar girder]

Would’ve been so easy

Oh yo I sold my Wooting

[calm pulsar]

true

[polar girder]

Now my discord role is poser

RIP

I do want to try venom with keysnaps in frog mini on fr4 plate tho

[tropic urchin]

[polar girder]

Just not excited to buy new plate

[tropic urchin]

Illegal pink role

[polar girder]

Cool pfp, lil bro

[tropic urchin]

Bigger than you

[polar girder]

Well I’ve bought 3 so maybe I can get a pass

[polar girder]

Perhaps but I’m growing (getting fatter) every day

[calm pulsar]

bro is becoming a 2he out of 60he

[polar girder]

lol ay yo

Nah I mean I’m still in ok shape but the heaviest I’ve ever been lol

[pulsar plinth]

What feels better stock out of Owlab ti or geon raptor v2?

[polar girder]

W question

[tropic urchin]

Do you like short springs or long spring press feel (faster rebound), do you care that much about bottom stem wobble?

I like raptors over ti but there’s a lot of ti homies here so will depend on your preference between the two. If you check pins Sno has a few tests

[pulsar plinth]

Long springs and I'm not bothered by wobble. Thank you I'll check the tests

[tropic urchin]

Besides those two questions, the other one is do you prefer brighter clack (owlab) or deeper (raptors)

[pulsar plinth]

Deeper, but I tend to prefer feel to sound, sound just makes it easier to choose between similar switches for me

[tropic urchin]

If you’re not worried with bottom wobble I’d say both have a pretty good feel to them, I just happened to like owlab more on my venom 60 than my 80HE

[tropic urchin]

Might be worth getting one and then trying new tikkens later this year

Should be long spring and deeper so best of both worlds with ti he stability

[pulsar plinth]

So get the raptor v2 now then try the tikkens when they come out?

[tropic urchin]

You could try that or owlabs depending on how you’re feeling

Both are pretty cheap and tikken should be priced competitively as well

[tawdry tree]

Ti HEs.

[pulsar plinth]

40 or 50?

[tawdry tree]

That’s subjective.

Ti HEs are smoother though.

[pulsar plinth]

Sounds good to me, I'll start with them then

Thank you

[tropic urchin]

If you play fps I tend to like 40-45g more than 50-55g, if you don’t care 50g is fine

[pulsar plinth]

Do u know what the initial force of either is?

[pulsar plinth]

FPS is my main use so I'll go for 40 then, thank you

[tropic urchin]

I’ve only seen bottom out weight but for 40g I’d imagine it’s prob like 30g ish for initial

[pulsar plinth]

That's perfect

[tropic urchin]

For whatever reason if you don’t like them, you can spring swap with geon pingless for a heavier weight

[kindred notch]

hallo

i'm looking to maybe mod my stabs soon

spacebar has a little bit of rattle

what should i go for?

3rd party stabs + lube and that's it?

i saw someone recommend these two, idk if they're any good

https://cannonkeys.com/products/aeboards-staebies?variant=40862884954223
https://cannonkeys.com/products/xht-bdz-keyboard-grease

[calm pulsar]

you can lube and tune your stabs without buying 3rd party ones

unless your stock ones are broken

xht-bdz is good for wires and for stab housings use something that you'd use for switches, like krytox 205

[kindred notch]

are stocks nice after just that? i wouldn't mind paying 20$ for the stabs if they make a difference

[calm pulsar]

if you have screw-in stabs from your wooting 60he module or 80he then they are decent enough honestly
and I tried a lot of different ones
you can ofc just get new ones for the fun of it

[kindred notch]

hm

oke

maybe i'll get them just to try

ty

i saw something about a "band aid" mod too, is it also needed for the best experience?

[calm pulsar]

on good modern stabs like staebies, sw knights it is not required and might even make them worse

[polar girder]

I hate that mod fwiw

But that’s just me

[kindred notch]

okay, thanks

[harsh dove]

I don't like most stab mods tbh lol

I feel like if you have good stabs, you should only need to lube them, that's it

If you gotta do like 3 diff mods to your stabs just buy better ones

[kindred notch]

also my phylina lightnings arrived today

i replaced the jade maxes that i had

these are much more clacky and the stem wobble upgrade is quite nice

so far i like them

[fiery glen]

I’m using jade pros on my wooting uwu, and after spending some time breaking the switches in I’ve noticed that they have a delayed rebound, it’s almost like it’s sticking. Factory lube on the switches seems to be fine, anyone know what the cause could be? I think I might have to clean and relube the switches

[stoic ocean]

I do the mod with plumber tape tbh

can be stiff but sometime is good

[kindred notch]

never heard about jade pros having that issue

isn't jade pro pom stem?

materials shouldn't have the sticking issue

[fiery glen]

I’m wondering if it’s something weird with the lube in it

It’s happened to certain switches before from different brands. After using them for osu for a while, they just start sticking ever so slightly

I’ve had khail box reds stick, but not my ws morandis

[kindred notch]

huh

i used jade maxes for more than a month

for osu too

and never had sticking issues

they did stick when pressing on the corners of keycaps

but aside from that i never had crazy issues

[fiery glen]

Its very subtle but its noticeable when I play faster maps

[kindred notch]

hm

yeah that must suck

actually maybe mine had a little bit of that too

maybe i didn't notice

if there's not fix, i think you'll have to get new switches

jade pros are pretty outdated by now aswell

[fiery glen]

What’s the meta now

[kindred notch]

owlabs ti he are really good

mine still haven't arrived so i can't compare

but i have phylina lightnings

which arrived today lol

no noticeable stem wobble, very comfortable so far

[fiery glen]

I was going to say that, cause that’s the only new switch I’ve heard of recently

[kindred notch]

pretty clacky but i like it

• they're transparent, idk if you use rgb

owlab ti makes rgb slightly different due to housing color

[fiery glen]

I have rgb on but I hardly even look at my keyboard

More precisely just pink light going from right to left in “waves”

[kindred notch]

yeah it's not like it completely changes the color too, it's just a slight difference

personally, the lack of stem wobble made them feel "lighter" without really being lighter

made quite a difference in stream maps

felt like i had more stamina and rhythm sense

[fiery glen]

WS morandi has terrible stem wobble, it was throwing me completely off sometimes

While I’ve heard some complaints about stem wobble on different HE switches, none of them are nearly as bad as the morandis

[kindred notch]

i don't think i've ever even heard of that switch

but yeah owlab ti are stupid good for the price

phylina lightnings are really nice from what i've tried so far

and UR ice ultra have pretty similar sound to jades if i remember correctly, but way better stem wobble + 35$ for 90 switches i think

[fiery glen]

It was super hyped up since it was thocky and creamy, but almost no one mentioned the stem wobble….so now I have 87 unused morandi switches

I bought them while the price was low, so I can just resell them without a loss either way

[kindred notch]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-meme-angry-black-sad-gif-13761237589791439872

that's painful

[fiery glen]

Bought for 90x for $35, now it’s like 55 lol

[fluid ravine]

late 2022 early 2023 mx switch

[fiery glen]

Honestly I don’t really care about its sound, I can’t even hear it through my iems

[kindred notch]

fair enough

[static tendon]

Been a while since I've caught up here. What is currently the latest and greatest switches for hall effect boards rn?

[stray tiger]

Lekker Tikkens

[static tendon]

I didn't see them off the Wooting site, is there a good place to typically purchase them from?

[stray tiger]

Not available just yet so you'll have to wait a little longer

[static tendon]

Ah sounds good, I'll certainly keep an eye out for them

Still running my jades

[fluid ravine]

oh shi wsp kosmos

[static tendon]

What's gooood

Been a bit of a while

[fluid ravine]

it's been an eternity mane

[static tendon]

Haha yeah i've been PC building recently

[fluid ravine]

ah i see haha, how's that going on so far

[static tendon]

It's going ok. I purchased a msrp 5070TI and the fans at idle speed are so much louder than some other GPU's i've seen

I'm gonna rebuild in a Lian Li Mini V2 case that released last week. Excited for it

[fluid ravine]

excitinggggg

are you gonna sell your old parts?

[static tendon]

Yeah it is, everything feels way more snappy. The wooting helps put it all together too

[static tendon]

Not currently, I'll be running it as a backup PC for a bit until I know for sure I'm satisfied with the NEW PC build. Might sell the PC later on marketplace though

[fluid ravine]

i see i see

[static tendon]

How about you? Anything newly done to your wooting?

[fluid ravine]

Oh I sold mine a while back

Currently using Venom 60HE 7u with a frog mini leggera case (i just chipped the paint from hitting my other keyboard on it on accident)

the damage that has been done

[static tendon]

Looks solid but what made you go for this PCB over Wooting's?

[fluid ravine]

Oh honestly i mainly wanted to switch because of layout option and gummy mount compatibility. Another reason ig would be because i had the original 60he so it was a great time to upgrade anyways

[static tendon]

Right on, makes sense. So far so good? Like how's the software? Wooting I hear typically has a really reliable software. Curious how this Venom60 compares

[fluid ravine]

Honestly yeah so far so good

I can't say much because i dont really focus on software that much but im sort of up to date

and things on venom's side is doing well

but i still would prefer wooting's software

at the end of the day

[kind helm]

at the end of the day you dont use wooting because deep down you know...

[fluid ravine]

shut i t

that's why i dont have the role

i never did

never will

[kind helm]

[fluid ravine]

💔

[harsh dove]

I've done this too but not as bad

Teeny tiny

[static tendon]

Cammm! What's up!

[harsh dove]

Reasons ECoating sucks sometimes but it is what it is

[static tendon]

All the Wooting buddies are on today

[harsh dove]

Wassup Man

[static tendon]

Not too much, just gotta see what's going on with Wooting lately

[kind helm]

mine still fine hehe

[harsh dove]

That’s not ecoating boy

[kind helm]

yes acrylic betta

[harsh dove]

lol

[kind helm]

my salvation60 has a tiny little scratch as well but we dont talk about that

[harsh dove]

I’ve been somewhat MIA recently too until recently

[static tendon]

Speaking of scratches on salvation, my brother's monitor arm failed and the monitor smashed down on the case

[kind helm]

[static tendon]

Getting another salvation for a good price has been rough recently

[kind helm]

salvation is like meh for me in the beginning, but more i mess with it more i like it

[static tendon]

The scratch isn't too crazy but it's a bit noticable

[kind helm]

lol

[static tendon]

I've been loving mine

[harsh dove]

I like my current build in my Salvation but it's been on a shelf

I put an MX build in it

[kind helm]

i finally swapped out the raws and put ti he on it, pretty gud to me

[static tendon]

Here’s mine. Just took the photo. Still running GMK Synthwave and white salvation

[harsh dove]

Yeah my Salv has a pink alu plate Tirade gave me awhile back and GMK Olivia with HMX Canglan V2s

[static tendon]

That's actually so sick, a pink plate. I'd run it too

[kind helm]

like i want to go back to mx but i feel like i want to do it "properly" with soldering lol
so i never got around to do it

[static tendon]

Ehhh, I feel like soldering switches isn't worth it. I can't see a benefit to doing so

Hotswap all day long and forever for me personally

[kind helm]

supposedly it affects the sound, so i want to try and see

[tulip rapids]

just replace it with some cream !!

[static tendon]

You'd have to listen far too precisely to tell any sort of sound difference. MAYBE might sound less chattery but even then I doubt it 😂

[fluid ravine]

Neo65

[static tendon]

Respect though, soldering switches certainly takes lots of patience

[fluid ravine]

Was planning to sell it but thinking back at it with my current situation and wtv, got no opportunity

[static tendon]

What switches are you running for this?

[fluid ravine]

HMX Sunset Gleams

and Holy Panda on the spacebar

CF plate

GMK Desert Botanical

[static tendon]

Oh I see. Holy Panda's, wow been a while since I heard those switches

[north girder]

guys i need some oppinions

i got those keycaps

https://www.maxgaming.gg/de/keycaps/cherry-profile-dye-sub-pbt-keycap-set-iso-german-white-mint

and i kinda wanna get a green gt 80

but i just cant tell if it would look good or not

https://www.maxgaming.gg/de/cases/gt-80-case-anodized-pine-green

https://keyoo-keyboards.de/produkt/riss-iso-ansi-de/?srsltid=AfmBOorv63pnnOjDBB_uiN8Uv_rFFOQVmX9CmtASSUUZCJE9QUCWvI1k

look at those

[static tendon]

Anyone know if the Optimum case will ever release other color options? The gray is cool, but it doesn't exactly match my setup theme

[uneven cradle]

Probably not if I had to guess gray is kind of Optimums thing

[glacial wind]

sparks be here. They seem better than polar pro initially, will do more tests

[harsh wedge]

what about the OWlab TI case

will we ever have that available again

[glacial wind]

Yes very soon if you mean the owlab60

Okay the gaterons are definitely better than polar pros

Sound is cleaner on them than the polar pros

Very rough and dirty phone recording, but you can still hear the chatteryness of the polar pro more than gaterons spark

Top wobble seems better too

Raptor still the best for top wobble but at least the gaterons aren’t as bad as polar pro there

what i've noticed with polar pros as well as the top wobble changes a bit to more/less depending on the qc of the parts i think. Some of them have a bit more wobble than others

[calm pulsar]

kbdfans configurator seems nice

built this TKL custom

oh its a png of the case lol

3kg unbuilt

they also demonstrate the colors nicely on the page

[chilly mural]

spark sounds nice

[fluid ravine]

where can i find that shelf :0

[harsh dove]

Idk tbh a friend got it for me as a gift

[glacial wind]

they're very well lubed i will say that

the sparks that is

opened one up and plenty of lube on the stem and walls
