[uncut basin]

yeah makes sense

could you describe it to me then?

[glacial wind]

we have videos on our youtube of friction fit for example, but you're not going to find one specific config repeated across videos (which is something i'm trying to fix when i get around to the case videos for our youtube)

the tl;dr is any mount that isolates the pcb will give you what most say is a better sound

so friction fit, gasket etc will all 'improve' the sound for most

any of them is honestly fine

[glacial wind]

to avoid getting overwhelmed, just assume any of them beyond tray mount is a fine improvement sound wise

[uncut basin]

hmm alright

wait the gt-60 isn’t friction?

[tawdry tree]

it isn’t

[glacial wind]

nope, it's gasket or top mount

[ionic breach]

its gasket or top

some cases have multiple ways of mounting

[tawdry tree]

friction on tray mount still has hot spots though, so it isn’t perfect imo

[uncut basin]

i might get that with the cf plate to try something new

i can’t use my pc plate with it right?

[tawdry tree]

nope

it uses a custom plate for both gasket and top mount

[uncut basin]

oh cool

what about the optimum case?

[tawdry tree]

that’d be the same as getting a friction pad with your tofu

it’s tray with friction too

[glacial wind]

it's a fine case, again you'd be buying for aesthetics

[uncut basin]

and with that i can use the pc plate?

[tawdry tree]

ye

[uncut basin]

thank you guys for your help

[glacial wind]

yeah any of the friction fit options you can just use your current plate or 3rd party plate if you want

[uncut basin]

oh one last thing. i just looked at faq and i saw that there’s a raptor v2 switch out now. i use owlabs now but are those a meaningful upgrade?

[tawdry tree]

nah

[glacial wind]

eh i wouldn't worry about them unless you specifically are someone chasing stability

[tawdry tree]

they’re more stable but have issues

[glacial wind]

owlab imo sound and feel better

[uncut basin]

i noticed jade to raw and raw to owlab

oh what really

[glacial wind]

raptor v2 are just on there because they're good all-rounder and very stable

but sound wise owlab are better personally

[uncut basin]

ah okay

[uncut basin]

what sort of issues

[tawdry tree]

spring crunch

at bottom out you can hear the spring crunch on some

I wouldn’t recommend them

[tropic urchin]

Raptors are deeper sounding, but have issues with the spring rubbing the bottom housing so it has a spring crunch feel/sound sometimes. Doesn’t happen always, but it’s annoying on movement keys

[glacial wind]

it seems to be a very specific type of usage too for it to happen

[thorny wave]

Can I use tofu60 housing for wooting 60he+?

[tawdry tree]

raptor v3s will save us

[uncut basin]

oh yeah i’ll definitely pass then

[tawdry tree]

ye

[glacial wind]

i wonder if it's repetitive quick press or something

[tawdry tree]

no actually

[tropic urchin]

I’ve only personally noticed it on forward and backwards keys but yeah it’s annoying

[glacial wind]

because i still haven't been able to get any of mine doing that spring crunch thing

[tropic urchin]

But then again I’m using PP flux build so that says a lot about that

[tawdry tree]

just “tofu 60” didn’t line up with the USB-C iirc

the tofu redux works fine though

[tropic urchin]

I can never replicate it meaningfully, it kinda just happens

[glacial wind]

i'm so curious as to what the exact movement cause of it is

[tropic urchin]

If you play OSU it seems it happens very fast

[tawdry tree]

the spring is loose

[glacial wind]

because then i could put it on the database notes, but i can't get it to replicate or happen myself

yeah osu i assume it's the repetitive fast thumping somehow doing it

[tawdry tree]

it can move all over the place

[thorny wave]

ty!!

[tropic urchin]

Also @tawdry tree do you know of a fix to help solidify the left shift sink of my PP plate by any chance

[glacial wind]

but they are also in my stiffest board with the 80he cf setup so maybe that makes it harder to happen

[tawdry tree]

if you do end up going with the gt-60, you probably want a PCB-mount plate.

[tawdry tree]

the left shift what now

[sacred elm]

What's the next QC issue?

[thorny wave]

who can link tofu redux?

[tropic urchin]

If you can fix it, you’re the goat regardless of Raeds opinion

[tawdry tree]

hmm, it it just a sound or feel too?

[tropic urchin]

Sound is fine

It’s just feel whenever I use left shift it just sinks down and is too flexy

I put the silicone back in and it helped stabilize the center keys a lot but now it’s just left shift is the flex weak point

[tawdry tree]

happens with other switches too?

[uncut basin]

what do you mean?

[tawdry tree]

where are you from?

[tropic urchin]

I could try to put other switches in that area, not sure it would work bc I think it’s a silicone + PP plate softness issue

Soft on soft type shii

[uncut basin]

the one that says support magnetic switches and pcb mount stabs?

[thorny wave]

South korea

[glacial wind]

you guys are too spoiled for choices now. We need to go back to the days of everyone trying to buy og tofu cases on resale market for $100 each

[tawdry tree]

it’s not that big of a deal but a plate that supports PCB-mount stabs specifically offers a wider range of support for PCB-mounted stabs 😂

[uncut basin]

oh word thank you

[tropic urchin]

I wonder if there’s something I could fill the lower left side of the case that could support the left shift side

[tawdry tree]

sinking is odd though, I’d either think the switch is lifted up slightly already by the plate

[tawdry tree]

oh wait, you mean just the flex of the PCB?

and plate*

[uncut basin]

oh yeah while i’m here is there any real difference between the screw in stabs in the + and the clip in ones i have?

i think i upgraded the stabs on these anyways but wanted to ask

[tawdry tree]

KBDFans themselves probably, I don’t know a retailer that stocks the redux cases but maybe sno knows

[glacial wind]

screw ins are technically less inclined to have sounds, but both can be tuned to reasonable level

[tropic urchin]

Yeah. PP and silicone pad together was very flexy, but since I put the cutout silicone back it stabilized it a bit. But now just the left shift side is being too flexy for me

Rivions mentioned maybe DIY key snaps could help maybe but might not be compatible

[glacial wind]

geon sells tofu cases iirc @thorny wave

check geon naver store

[tawdry tree]

or just any silicone piece below that area would help stiffen it a lot

why is there so much flex there though

is the plate not supported?

[tropic urchin]

Seems to be a PP thing

It’s the softest plate mixed with silicone soft gasket mount probably is contributing to it vs having no plate foam or similar on venom would be a very different feel

Hence why cam probably wouldn’t have that issue

[thorny wave]

Can anyone tell me the information of this keycap?

Or please recommend other keycaps!

[tawdry tree]

PC is pretty soft too but I never noticed that

[tropic urchin]

It did have some flex to it, but not to this degree

I don’t think it’s tolerance related since it was a custom plate from Tom and his usually are good from personal reviews

Bad luck combo

[tawdry tree]

which switches?

[tropic urchin]

Flux best in the biz

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-24533171

[tawdry tree]

[manic hound]

Damn why do you wooting staff care about your product so much

[tawdry tree]

yeah, apart from supporting the PCB from below with silicone or something, I don’t think there’s another option.

[manic hound]

Customer service and support is unmatched

[tropic urchin]

I’ll look into this, appreciate it

That’s what I figured would need to happen

[tawdry tree]

is there less flex in another corner, like esc for example?

[tropic urchin]

I’ll take a look in a few hrs

I’m in my j*b corner atm

If you find any silicone pad/pieces lmk, I’m on the hunt for them as we speak

[tawdry tree]

don’t you have an eraser or something? just to try

[tropic urchin]

I could find one

I figured you’d want something with more height and surface area

[tawdry tree]

you could get a whole ass sheet as well but don’t think it’d be worth

rather just go back to PC then or something, surely?

[tropic urchin]

@sacred elm ahem FUCK no

Pp is too poppy and PC is dead inside

Hard hard no to PC plate

[tropic urchin]

DIY sheet was what I was thinking potentially

[sacred elm]

It's not dead with Fluxies

[robust siren]

@sacred elm should i go back to fr4 or stay on pc when i get my switches

[sacred elm]

With those switches probably FR4

Test both 🤷‍♂️

[robust siren]

for sure

its coming in on the weekend, should have time

[tropic urchin]

It’s always dead

If the only switch that sounds normal on it is the most loud switch available there is a problem

[sacred elm]

With Fluxies it's fine imo, other switches are dead yeah

[tropic urchin]

For most switches always FR4

IMO

Such a nice balance

[robust siren]

ill double check if i have the fr4 plate, it might be at a friends house

switches dont arrive till next week

[polar girder]

Go alu bro

https://tenor.com/view/cc-gif-12825662841762387753

[tropic urchin]

I’ve already tried it’s eh for my plate and on flux

I’ll prob stick to PP plate since I like the poppyness

Just need to figure out how to get left shift to stop it’s flex sink

[polar girder]

Tried fr4?

[tropic urchin]

I liked FR4 for a while on flux, but lil too loud for me now. The right amount is on PP for me now. I originally didn’t like PP when the silicone cut out was out bc then it made flux feel weird accuracy wise, but having it back it’s rock solid

If my price to pay is weird left shift I’ll probably live with it, but just need to find the right silicone pad for that area of the GT80 case

Surely I could tape up the weird foam sent by Toronto keyboard man right

[tropic urchin]

I’ve tried about everything not nylon or brass and steel I believe

But all of those prob aren’t going to be good for what I want so we chillin

POM harsh, PC sucks, PP is nice, FR4 was nice before, alu is ok, CF is ok

[polar girder]

Yeah fair

Yeah PP is goated for sound

Feel is just trash IMO

but happy if it works for you

Hope you can fix your left shift lol

[kind helm]

i paid like <10 dolla for the pp plate i brought

but thats pre trump

aka 5 months ago

[tropic urchin]

Anything under $40 is usually cool, $10-20 depending on where it’s coming from

<10 is straight Gateron economy shipping speed so idc really

[tropic urchin]

Interesting

It is a lil flexy but with full silicone on 80HE the feel is very uniform and solid

Haven’t tried benom

[tropic urchin]

Me too

[tropic urchin]

I paid like maybe $10 ish for my Pbtfans ronin set and got a $80-90 tariff onto it

From Canada

Now that I’m looking back it’s bc they used DHL

Actually no FedEx bc DHL lets you pay online and FedEx are weirdos

[north girder]

how the fuck do i use that website???
how would i even order a iso 80he plate there im confused

[tropic urchin]

All you’d select is the material and color that he has in stock and you’d follow the rest here

I’d ask in his discord if he can do ISO (which you’ll find on his site)

[little glen]

He can do iso he cut it for me

I did send the file tho

But he should have it now probably

[little glen]

^

[tropic urchin]

ISO users rejoice

[manic hound]

ARE WE WINNING YET? WE CANT STOP WINNING

[north girder]

can u send me the file just in case?

[sacred elm]

https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-design/tree/main/wooting-80he

[north girder]

why do i select full control

[north girder]

ah nice

[tropic urchin]

Press more information and see what each option does

If you don’t want it, don’t select it

I gave him full control bc I trust his judgment for plates given thockfather’s high praise for 3rd party plates

All I did was show you what I selected for my order and it came out great

[little glen]

I can send it when i‘m home

The file on github is the full keyboard i think

[north girder]

yeah lets just hope he still has the file else hell dm me i guess

[polar girder]

I’m exaggerating. I just realized I want zero flex

[tropic urchin]

The flex got better with more silicone, but I’m not a big flex guy either. I just like the pop on fluxies

[polar girder]

Understandable

[little glen]

I‘m home soon so i can send it to you then if you want just in case

[tropic urchin]

It was really bad when I didn’t have the full silicone in and the flex was a lot more

I was tweaking out

[north girder]

would be nice

cant wait for my cf plate

i like stiffness

are there any stiffer gaskets for my 80 he?

out of pc or so

[little glen]

i think this is it

[north girder]

ok thanks

can u extract the gasket file aswell ?

[little glen]

why do you need that

[north girder]

i thought of asking him to make me a gasket out of a stiffer material

[little glen]

i would not recommend it

[north girder]

why

[little glen]

the silicone one is already fairly stiff

plus its 3 dimensional so the cost would skyrocket

the stock ones are injection molded i think

[north girder]

well doesn't hurt to ask

[little glen]

i mean you can ask, sure

i dont have the gasket file tho

[tropic urchin]

@tawdry tree after further inspection maybe the silicone pad is needed for all 4 corners since that seems to be where it goes lil wild

[tawdry tree]

silicone sheets should be pretty easy to find

just the thickness that is tricky

you could just get a thin sheet (1mm) and stack multiple

that way you can tune how stiff it’ll be as well

[trail bane]

Gn

[rigid obsidian]

Anyone got a layout for the wooting 80 he ISO. Got some keycaps and for the life of me don’t know where some of them go. Any help would be appreciated

[sacred elm]

ISO Nordic or which?

[tropic urchin]

goat shit

you may have questionable tastes with raeds, but goat shit @tawdry tree

[tropic urchin]

https://www.amazon.com/MMLFX-Silicone-Thickness-Heat-resistant-Translucent/dp/B09W69SYZC would this work?

i was thinking getting 2x and then cutting it up and layering it on each corner

500x500mm is pretty large so i think it SHOULD be enough

2 artisan pads of material

[tawdry tree]

I’m not sure if 2mm thick will end up being enough

[tropic urchin]

hmm

[tawdry tree]

rly no clue about the space below the PCB in the gt-80

[tropic urchin]

5mm?

[tawdry tree]

you can get 2 pieces out of a 500x500mm sheet

so u should be good with 2

[tawdry tree]

actually more even

[tropic urchin]

yeah thats what i was thinkin

maybe 3 or 4

surely

[tawdry tree]

it’ll be fineeeee

[tropic urchin]

everything else is god awful on ebay for silicone sheets and rest is like fuckin mats

ill get 4

if thats not enough im jumping off my house

will be the last post you see from me

[stoic ocean]

What is that for

[tawdry tree]

[tropic urchin]

rounding out the edges so PP plate isnt hyper flexy

[tropic urchin]

To stop this from happening

[stoic ocean]

Interesting

[tawdry tree]

you can cut 4 pieces out of a single 500x500mm sheet

[tropic urchin]

keyword: "if"

[tawdry tree]

3 horizontal one veritcal

[stoic ocean]

Damn why he is so flexible

[tropic urchin]

PP is super soft, silicone gasket mount is also soft so my thought is super soft on soft is causing some flex issues

center is good now, but the 4 corners of the keyboard has some flex issues

so im using silicone sheets to help prop it up

[stoic ocean]

Why you dont put it in bottom case

[tropic urchin]

thats the plan anyway

cutting up the silicone sheets into 4 and then placing them to prevent flex

[stoic ocean]

I have a keyboard with flex too and i put mlv to improve the sound and this sht is not soft

The flex is almost gone

[tropic urchin]

3 or 4 sheets you thinkin

[tropic urchin]

mass loaded vinyl?

[tawdry tree]

to get? 2 at most bro

[tropic urchin]

okay so wasnt going schizo earlier

[tawdry tree]

for the case, you need pieces the size of 330 wide and 120 tall

[tawdry tree]

that’s right, I just couldn’t do math lmao

[tropic urchin]

im going with 3 in case anything gets fucked up in the process

[tawdry tree]

they’re not as expensive as fluxies surely?

[tropic urchin]

just $40

[tawdry tree]

💀

[tropic urchin]

kinda cringe but the more you introduce new variables the more often some shit bound to go wrong

its the difference of like $30 and $40

not crazy difference

[tawdry tree]

still expensive

[tropic urchin]

it is what it is

$13 per sheet vs ebays $45-50

pick your poison xD

appreciate your help tho @tawdry tree

[tawdry tree]

if you go broke, you cans ell some fluxies to cover the cost

[tawdry tree]

yw bro

[tropic urchin]

ill just get some deep clack later

[tawdry tree]

https://tenor.com/view/wallet-gif-25866507

[tropic urchin]

now that the middle isnt sagging since the alpha silicone is back in, PP Flux is now going to be perma build until something new comes out that isnt deeply flawed

tired of this shit dawg

GIVE ME 45G LONG SPRING SWITCHES THAT ARENT POM AND DONT SUCK/HAVE SPRING CRUNCH

FUCK

[tawdry tree]

Q3 2028 🙏

[tropic urchin]

fr tho

geon was the savior and then HMX said "bet"

[tawdry tree]

I haven’t tried fluxies on PP yet, I will soon

[tawdry tree]

HMX sold

geon too for not pressing HMX

[tropic urchin]

might be lit on benom, I wasnt a big fan of them on the geon alu or FR4

i know i really liked how cam's sounded

[wintry pollen]

thinking of the getting the jade pros HE, any thoughts on better alternatives before I buy?

[tropic urchin]

Owlab ti he

If you want the deeper profile I’d also try UR ice ultra/phylina thunderbolts (box stem version)

[wintry pollen]

any particular reason its better? Looking to use them for everyday use, but also for esports titles while streaming. sound is important, but def prefer performance

[tropic urchin]

I had them, they’re kind wobbly and there are better options out rn

That are cheaper than Jade pros

You can get them but they’re not a great value proposition

[wintry pollen]

I see, ill do some research on the owl lab ones then, TY!

[tropic urchin]

If you check the pins, Sno has a quick stability and sound test for the current switches @wintry pollen

The best Gateron switch rn is looking like the Spark but is an expensive choice

[wintry pollen]

hmm ok

do you have any review videos that you recommend to watch?

[tropic urchin]

For the sparks nothing that comes to mind but I believe both @glacial wind and @stray tiger have them and can give you their thoughts on em

Wooting is also launching the new Tikken switches by end of year that will have comparable stem wobble to the owlab ti he and will have a deeper/poppy sound profile as well so worth keeping an eye on

[chilly mural]

and 4mm travel

[stray tiger]

Avoid the sparks for now. They are difficult to get sounding great (IMHO) and there are a few reports of inconsistent sensor readings due to the magnets being too weak for the new "floating" magnet design in the sparks. This might be something that is addressed via firmware at some point, but not today.

[tropic urchin]

Even the best that Gateron has to offer has issues ooof

[chilly mural]

I feel like they're cursed lmao

[stray tiger]

I don't know the details but I think because of the new floating design the magnets sit higher up than normal switches but they didn't compensate for this with stronger magnets.

[chilly mural]

it's alright, I'm sure the wizard at wooting can fix it

[tropic urchin]

It seems the only way I’m going to get what I want in current switch meta looks to be sticking it out with fluxies PP plate

[tulip rapids]

i know this is random but boys im purchasing my first artisan mouse pad tn

https://tenor.com/view/gif-gif-25567819

[chilly mural]

checks up, yay, enjoy your mousepad

[paper bison]

Which one

I just bought my 3rd one earlier

[manic hound]

I’ve used the same hayate otsu for 6 years

I’m not even joking either lol

[tropic urchin]

Otsu was my first too

[paper bison]

my first was a zero xxl soft which i still use

then bought a type99 in matcha green xl xsoft which i gave to my brother

and just ordered a xl soft raiden few hours ago and some of the mizogomu mouse skates to try

type99 was too soft and wanted something v fast, was either a raiden or glass

[tulip rapids]

going with zero

for the safe choice but i been eyeing key 83 and hein

[paper bison]

Zero is good, Hein is really abrasive and uncomfortable but the Key83’s hexagonal weave is good, if the raiden is too fast for me I’ll get the Key83

[tulip rapids]

im getting zero soft and been debating the key83 soft or mid

i know mid is more of a glass pad feel

then im getting obsidian air dots for my beast x pro

[tulip rapids]

yeah thats the one thing im worry about the hein is how abrasive it is

i dont want to be uncomfortable when i game

[tropic urchin]

I recommend that

[sacred elm]

Hien is literally a sandpaper

I swapped it in a week

Disgusto

[tropic urchin]

I thought otsu was abrasive

Ooof

[sacred elm]

Hien is their most textured pad

Hien > Otsu > Key83 I think

[tropic urchin]

Sounds about right

Key83 does feel like a zero fan wanted their own Raiden but tailored it down a bit speed wise

For a texture hater (me) it’s pretty smooth without a lot of the abrasiveness found in other textured artisan pads

@sacred elm I need to try Jade dots on it

[obtuse brook]

are the MATHEW HE Silent good ?

like 8k pulling fast and not much noice

need it for GD so yeah i care about being fast

[uneven cradle]

switches don't affect performance like that and yeah they work fine

[obtuse brook]

you know where i can find a good sound test? like single hard clicking

[uneven cradle]

if you want silent switches they're probably the best option at the moment

[sacred elm]

They're not the most accurate switches out there. Check the note below silent switches

[obtuse brook]

where can i get them for cheap, only want the lowests possible units

[sacred elm]

They're very cheap on AliExpress

https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008342823368.html

[obtuse brook]

this order good?

[sacred elm]

Yep

[obtuse brook]

theyll all fit good right?

[sacred elm]

Yeah

[obtuse brook]

also off topic but uwu has no support for 8k righjt?

[sacred elm]

No, it's 1k but the difference between 1k and 8k is not noticeable.

[obtuse brook]

I guess but im a top gd player and it matters heklla

[sacred elm]

I doubt. Difference is less than 1ms.

[obtuse brook]

hopefully they come out with a 8k version someday would love the build quality of a uwu with 8k

[ionic breach]

are you buying for a whole keyboard?

[obtuse brook]

not really im going to ues em from my setup

[tulip rapids]

your pfp gives me ptsd from escape the back rooms

[obtuse brook]

oh nah

[obtuse brook]

some gd jumps u have 3ms to react

2.77

[tulip rapids]

i think i'll pick up the key83 soft pad instead then

just gotta wait for my vendor to get more since they only have xsoft 🤢

[tidal frigate]

You cant order it from japan?

[obtuse brook]

chill

[tulip rapids]

risk high custom fees and the pad cost $54 cad + $40 cad shipping fees

[obtuse brook]

yo

is it worth to get swtich sample packs?

[glacial wind]

Yeah like thockfather said they have magnet being too weak issues for now, it’s why I removed it from the recommend list. Simon said it should be fixed later when they’re part of the switch selector but for now they’re not recommended

[slender frost]

Can you buy a premade tape mod?

[tulip rapids]

not hard to do it yourself

[ionic breach]

yes

[glacial wind]

some keyboard shops/brands do sell precut tape mod things, although like goku said it's really easy to just do it yourself

although honestly a lot of switches i don't really think tapemod adds much or makes them better

[slender frost]

Just something like blue painters tape?

[ionic breach]

ye

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/hdjs-shocked-dog-icream-eaten-gif-12372087

[void hollow]

any 60he case list?

feel like swapping XD

[glacial wind]

The case list would be absurdly long since 60% has a million compatible cases

[void hollow]

wow you're still alive

[glacial wind]

better to ask here if you find a case you like and see if it’s compatible

[void hollow]

does cam remember me 🌚

[glacial wind]

How do you know this isn’t a dream

[void hollow]

and does tenz still visit

[void hollow]

what are the biggest hits so far though

holy60?

[glacial wind]

not sure what you mean by hits

Holy60 wasn’t all that popular honestly, cause of the whole sound thing

[void hollow]

yea because of the physics of the case just letting sound loose huh

[thorn zealot]

That and the looks are hit or miss

[little glen]

Tofu redux is most popular, salvation, gt60, frog mini are more premium options, some other options would be frog mini leggera, holy60 and a lot more

[polar girder]

Yeh I like Leggera most for affordable aesthetic case

Not the heaviest but pretty nice

[woven parrot]

This is my brother doing sound test

Is it a good keeb?

[humble surge]

I don't know which it is, but the switches/caps sound good. Also it seems 60%.

[tender edge]

Any stabilizer recomendation? Tx ap 1.6 screw in, durock v3 or meletrix v3.1 silica ver?

[tropic urchin]

Run stock or knight stabs from Swagkeys/typeplus x yikb

[steady halo]

knight stabs, typeplus, designer studio

[tawdry tree]

which board?

[tawdry tree]

gat is long past designing switches solely for woot bro 😭

(ultra rare gat defense holy)

[tropic urchin]

I remember when I first joined it was between lekkers, RAW and Jaydes

now gateron is an afterthought

and that wasnt that long ago ;_;

roughly this time last year

[tawdry tree]

yeah

kinda crazy how many magnetic switch manus there are now

[paper bison]

owlab my beloved

[tropic urchin]

theres alot of choice now, but it seems like every new release has some sort of potentially weird shit that sours the switch

[thorn zealot]

Wym I love orchids

[tawdry tree]

💀

[tawdry tree]

switch manus don’t learn from each other’s mistakes sadly

[glacial wind]

I think part of it is the sparks were made in collab with another brand originally, so their magnetic range wasn’t considered for other boards as much

I’m sure if they could go back they’d pick a better range that was more compatible with everyone else

[tropic urchin]

waterproof PCB moment

[hearty path]

What are the best lp stabilizers for Wooting 60 he with Gateron jade pro

[manic hound]

Yeah TMR switches and keyboards might be the thing that equalizes all the issues that people have with he switches

[trail bane]

Nothing new in he industry

Long pole right?

[trail bane]

M yeah

[hearty path]

Thanks

[glacial wind]

You mean v4 now for knights lol

The v3 was very quick

At least the v naming scheme is gone now from v4 onwards

They just list them as knight stabs

[lyric nimbus]

anyone recommend a keyboard case for the 2he?

[tawdry tree]

There’s no such thing as TMR switches, it’s magnetic switches!!

[tawdry tree]

elaborate

[manic hound]

I meant to say TMR sensors

[lyric nimbus]

well like

something to store my 2he in and carry around

i dont feel like shoving it in my backpack

[tropic urchin]

ah so travel case

[lyric nimbus]

yeah

travel case

also preferrably stores the wristrest too

[tawdry tree]

TX has full size carrying cases iirc

[tropic urchin]

you probably wont find one for both the wrist rest and keyboard, but anything full sized prob would be fine

[tender edge]

80he

[tawdry tree]

then you’re good, the 80HE is compatible with all the recommended options whereas the 60HE is not.

Was just checking. :)

[trail bane]

Idk, maybe. Actually, what’s the difference between v3 and v4?

[tropic urchin]

I think how easy it is to tune iirc

Or atleast that’s one of them

[simple pagoda]

is the gt-80 a good case?

[tropic urchin]

Very

If you like to swap plates or switches it’s by far the best experience

Played around with it shortly but didn’t fully test it

Seems fine to me

[stoic ocean]

@glacial wind what do think about jerrzi ruyi ?

[little glen]

You need a label maker

[glacial wind]

Haven’t really played with them much, only got a small amount for sample

[stoic ocean]

Do you have a sound test compared to polar pro+ i think they are similar but in term of performance i think they are less good

[glacial wind]

not right now but I’ll have official sound tests for everything once I have enough samples

I only have maybe 4-6 of the ruyi so I need more to do a proper sound tests

[tranquil lake]

for me, mmd c1's are more stable than owlabs ti he.

i;ve noticed that wobble on owlabs is qc-based, few of my switches were extremly wobble upside-down idk why

[glacial wind]

I think outside of exceptions with pole guide and such it’s becoming way too hard to make feel based guesses on stability

There’s minor variance between even switches of the same batch, I just tend to group most stuff into roughly same category and call it good

Most of the switches from recent gen are so similar in stability it barely matters outside of the pole guided ones

[trail bane]

Ww switches

[glacial wind]

I need to clear out more room

storing the switches is becoming an issue

[trail bane]

You can store them at my house if you want

[glacial wind]

That might make accessibility an issue

[trail bane]

I think it won’t be difficult for Wooting to set up delivery back and forth via express cargo planes

C1s are everything Raptors V2s were promised to be.

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-12869046600151364058

[sacred elm]

Should I try them

[tranquil lake]

raptors feels more premium in hand when you touch both switches

[sacred elm]

Raptors are the opposite of premium

[tawdry tree]

They were for sale again today apparently

[tranquil lake]

and sound wise raptors are more "repetitive"?

[tawdry tree]

C1s are without spring crunch and without a frictiony feel afaik.

The only thing I noticed so far with them is the same minor stickiness at the start of the press.

Like Raw HEs have.

[sacred elm]

Raptor friction was fine, spring crunch was 🤮

[tranquil lake]

yep, but not in all of them

[sacred elm]

That's temporary

[tranquil lake]

i replied to aligner

[tawdry tree]

That's temporary

[tranquil lake]

ouf

[tawdry tree]

(spring crunch not being in all of them)

[sacred elm]

Yes

[tawdry tree]

[austere creek]

thats temporary

[sacred elm]

Is it temporary

[tranquil lake]

thank you for pointing it out

[glacial wind]

are mmd c1s pole guided?

i haven't pulled apart mine yet

okay played around with them a little bit, they do seem stable, although raptors still a tad more

[tranquil lake]

for me

1. raptors 2. mmd 3. owlabs

[glacial wind]

yeah mmd are definitely more in the owlab/tikkens etc level of stable

but that's still fine, i don't think it necessarily is a win to be more stable if it comes at cost of friction stuff

their pitch is a bit higher

i need to try them out in my non cf 80he

in cf 80he mmd c1 sound really isn't going to fit most peoples taste sound wise

Don’t mind the kdrama in the background lol. Here’s a real rough example

[tranquil lake]

yeah its not the best switch sound wise

but for sure best for that price

crazy cheap

[glacial wind]

yeah they were dirt cheap

i ordered 110 just to have 90 to throw into a build for one of our influencers and it was still only like $18 or whatever lol

[tranquil lake]

yeah, i paid 20$ for 90 on ali

[glacial wind]

tikkens still sound best on my cf 80he out of the options i've tried

[tranquil lake]

tikkens might be best all-rounder, lets hope for that

[glacial wind]

it sounds better than the friction fit v2 for me, but i like a less muted sound so i need cf to make it brighter for me lol

i assume average person isn't going to be like me and will appreciate more muted v2 friction fit sound

man phone recordings cut the high end so much

watching that mmd recording the higher pitched light clack doesn't come out as much

[peak breach]

Time is relative

[trail bane]

M, here tikkens solo

[glacial wind]

yeah tikkens sound real nice to me on CF

it's a problem though that i've become used to split spacebar for some games, so I need to use the v2. I may need to order a cf plate for my own personal v2

release date is unknown still

prop before 60hev2

[tawdry tree]

hopefully

it’s been in the works for over a year

actually, half a year

[spice plover]

@glacial wind hey weird question with my build tomorrow. Was wondering if you encountered anything “better” but on the same build principles as the Mathew’s?

[glacial wind]

Not right now. There’s the new geon switches but I don’t have them yet

[glossy pagoda]

The Raptor v2's? Or another new one?

[glacial wind]

Nah there’s another new silent one

Just came out last week

[glossy pagoda]

New switches come out faster than some people change their underwear

[tawdry tree]

“New” recolors more like

😵‍💫

[tawdry tree]

Outemu’s Silent Peaches should be coming soon on Ali

those will most likely be better than Haimus in every way.

Except for price.***

[spiral crater]

could be very dumb question, but filming HE switches is fine right?

and would it change the sound in any way?

[tropic urchin]

will introduce inaccuracies which is why its not recommended

and mess with actuation

[spiral crater]

i meannn i already do have a ixpe sheet so from 3.8-4.0 (on a 3.5mm switch) i dont have access to that range consistently, would it worsen that inaccuracy or js keep it the same?

[glacial wind]

It will worsen accuracy

You can do it if you want, but it’s making your overall accuracy worse because the keyboard will think your switches are unstable and make itself less accurate to try compensate

Or worse case scenario is it makes it inaccurate enough that the keyboard can’t compensate, then you notice it more

[spiral crater]

ohhhhh okok thank you, ill lay off on that then

[spiral crater]

i am pretty sure if im deaf, im trying to listen to the sound recording of the diff switches, but how does the lekker tikkens compare to the phyllina? would people say they are deper?

[coral finch]

Hello, after updating my 60he keyboard, it is no longer recognized and no longer works. Despite changing the USB port, PC, cable, and uninstalling the keyboard in the device manager, it still does not work.
I made a return ticket but unfortunately on the return site it says no package found with the package number and email address

[steady halo]

if this comes this year,
that means it's hell of a year

60he v2, venom rgb, rakka

[coral finch]

wtf i can t man

[steady halo]

don't spam

[coral finch]

i I have already tried

[steady halo]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1019755933959733258 try to post there also

[coral finch]

bro myu keyboard is broken

[steady halo]

overture v2 would be nice

since every case supports tadpole

and wooting compatible

[trail bane]

Btw gat tactile is now available on ali
https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExSalNC

[glacial wind]

Everyone I’ve heard who tried them so far feels they’re weird if you don’t specifically set the bump to where your tactile press hits

otherwise the actuation is different to your tactile bump and it feels weird

[languid kestrel]

I'd be a little interested perhaps but it's a euro per switch

[calm pulsar]

that's what we always assumed when people asked for tactile HE before

kinda defeats the purpose of HE

[glacial wind]

yeah it's a bit of an odd one

[steady halo]

i just had time to test the gamepad mode fully

wooting is still better

venom's gamepad is kinda wonky

maybe the top 3 gamepad mode :

1. wooting
2. keychron / lemokey
3. venom

and it seems that venom switch reading is still not the best

there are some keys that still won't actuate fully

example duhuk core & lumia herz (3.3mm) the max on certain keys are 3.2mm or 3.1mm and not stable / jumps a lot

even the owti is the same (but doesn't occurs all the time as duhuks and fluxies) on both of my venom 60 and venom tkl (tested with both latest beta and stable)

now i can't wait to see wooting's switch selector

please be the best

[languid kestrel]

for gaming yeah but for those of us who mostly type and gaming is a secondary function, I'd still like to see more tactiles

[steady halo]

indeed

like raeds

i love the raeds for my typing board

it kinda brings me back to the old EC days

[stoic ocean]

@steady halo i saw the ouverture tbh yellow black etc are meh but the rest 🔥

[glacial wind]

yeah this stuff is kind of the issue with some of the recent 'stability grading' i've seen based solely off "how does this switch perform in x keyboard at 0.0001 setting" type stuff

[steady halo]

indeed, i like the evil tho

[glacial wind]

it's so reliant on a keyboards calibration and how it responds to switches that grading random switches based on how x or y keyboard calibrates them doesn't make any sense

you end up with a list more like 'these are switches that match the keyboards base calibration mode the best' instead of 'these are the actual most stable/accurate switches'

[steady halo]

yeah, now i want to see how wooting can perform with their own switch selector

[glacial wind]

simon did give a date recently that wasn't far off, but i can only pray it doesn't get delayed or need more time

[steady halo]

i hope 🙏

in the switchy God i hope

[calm pulsar]

this single message has postponed the release until Q4 2027

[glacial wind]

what i need is for split to do well so we make an 80he split please

i've started using split for some games and i can't go back

i need my extra jett dash key

[calm pulsar]

split might be nice to play retail wow in a 60%

[steady halo]

i hope wooting puts the plastic version of 60he v2 on pre order

even though it will be delivered early 2026

[glacial wind]

i need f keys and split in one

[chilly mural]

Split the key in half

[glacial wind]

until then i'm just going to get a custom cf plate made when possible and have a separate v2 for sound tests and my own unit with a cf plate i think

[steady halo]

i hope there is a ghost version for it

[glacial wind]

poor calder

i'm sure he'd love a ghost version too, but black always wins the polls and sales

[tropic urchin]

until you try to hit space bar and you end up pressing a spell instead

[glacial wind]

it's always black, white, variants of black for top options people want lol

[glacial wind]

you actually can't while wasding. I've never accidentally hit the middle button while wasd gaming before

[tropic urchin]

im talking the left side in split space bar not middle

[glacial wind]

it only happened a little bit when normal typing at start but you adjust pretty quickly. But it never happens in wasd position since you don't reach other to hit space there during gaming anyway

[glacial wind]

oh you actually never do that. It's pretty intuitive, you have to contiously remind yourself the extra key is there, more than the other way around

if anything the thing you have to keep remembering at first is that you have another key you can use there, because by default you don't press that far when wasd-ing

[calm pulsar]

i'd probably just use the middle key for a modifier that is easier to reach than ctrl or alt

[glacial wind]

it's pretty clutch in valorant/ow and certain wasd games for specific characters that need you to never move fingers off wasd

i used to bind those keys to mouse, but it's a bit janky because it messes with your aim

[humble surge]

So how does the spacebar split work actually, is it logically the same or a different key? can it be mapped independently?

[glacial wind]

all 3 keys are 3 separate keys that can be mapped

[humble surge]

ohh it's 3 and not 2 even, i see

[glacial wind]

yeah it just adds another 2 keys to spacebar basically

[marsh saffron]

the middle key in split space looks like its exactly where my thumb rests when i wasd 😔

[humble surge]

thats very promising actually, i hope 80HE eventually gets that, cause i'm buying

[glacial wind]

i think the advantage really comes in games where you really don't move to stop movement mid ability

[glacial wind]

dam you got big hands?

[marsh saffron]

20x12

thumb is pretty well dead center on my space bar

[steady halo]

(in Calder we trust)

[humble surge]

And then we have the dials coming too, can't wait for that either

[glacial wind]

that's interesting, they made the left side bigger on purpose to try avoid that, but i guess if you have really long thumbs it can still happen

cause i get that problem when i tried split with the reverse way of 2.25u first

but never happens on this version of split

[marsh saffron]

my thumb sits basically right there

unlikely to be a problem for like 99% of people i just like having my thumb extended more

more relaxed that way

[glacial wind]

you might be a reverse guy

put middle button to space lol, most cursed typing layout ever

imagine having to hit that exact spot for space every time you type

[humble surge]

sno what do you think, if it eventually makes it to the 80HE, would we (80HE owners) have to essentially purchase a whole new product at full?

[glacial wind]

calder has said on stream before iirc, it all just depends on split popularity

if 60he split is popular then we'd of course look at doing it on next iteration of 80he at some point

just depends on sales like most things

[tawdry tree]

hell of a year indeed. hopefully 🙏

[glacial wind]

but to answer the question, yeah it'd be a totally different product down the line

[chilly mural]

Hopefully 60he split got sold out for 2-3 batch. Cause that means 80he split will be a thing

[humble surge]

I'm not asking about wether it will exist or not, i was asking if it will, how do you think sales would go for pre-existing 80HE owners, would we have to buy ANOTHER 80HE (v2 or whatever in this case)?

okay

[glacial wind]

I assume you'd be able to buy a module 80he, but yeah it'd be a whole new pcb

[humble surge]

clearly it has to be

[tawdry tree]

you’re just not a power user, DKS with tactile switches my goat (I haven’t tried gat’s yet so we’ll see )

[glacial wind]

there's no way to retrofit that sort of thing so yeah you'd have to buy

[chilly mural]

Pcb + plastic case, cause $10 for another goated case is nice

[marsh saffron]

fr 😭

buys split space just to set all 3 buttons to space

[calm pulsar]

I'm a power user of actuation points and RT then😂

[humble surge]

I guess we have to get clever with reducing the cost/investment on the new one then. Allright, bridge to cross when we get there.

[glacial wind]

it's very specifically godly for games where you're wasding while pressing something else mostly

other times it's handy, but not crazy. However in games that use wasd movement it's crazy nice to have one more key that you don't need to lift off wasd position to press

[chilly mural]

It's also extra nice for rhythm games especially djmax where there's a lot of 2 thumb use and extra button for fever.

[quick finch]

I do this as well, took some getting used to

[glacial wind]

the big thing is your 3 middle fingers don't want to have to move off wasd, so it's up to your pinky/thumb to find the extra key, which is huge for some games

[quick finch]

My thumb sits right between the left and middle spacebar naturally

[tawdry tree]

On WASD, you shift your hand 1u to the left normally

wouldn’t that create the space needed?

no pun intended

[glacial wind]

no, the problem isn't the space, it's the key not existing

your 3 middle fingers are permanently taken when wasd-ing in games like valorant for example

so if you have an ability that requires being pressed while mid movement, you don't want to move fingers off it

that means people bind those keys to mouse or pinky pressable things normally

[humble surge]

something i will definitely want ^^

[glacial wind]

the problem with mouse binds is that it messes with your grip specifically to press a side button mid aiming

i made do with it in the past because it was just where it had to be, but it's nicer having it on split space now

[tawdry tree]

you talking about the same thing? 🤔

[glacial wind]

oh you're talking to diogo

[humble surge]

Agreed, thats why i never made myself get used to MMO mice, instead i bound nearly everything to my board, with my mice only ever having +2 side keys to comfortably press!

[glacial wind]

nah he just has big relaxed hands probably lol

[tawdry tree]

both diogo and night

I imagine that but 1u to the left

[glacial wind]

yeah that's due to their thumb being not bent and more relaxed + big hands

so shifting doesn't fix it for them because they naturally position super wide out

[tawdry tree]

this is true or this is something you say?

[glacial wind]

i mean night literally just explained it

i don't know what there is to be true or not true lol

they just don't bend their thumb same way as most and like it relaxed

[tawdry tree]

it’s hard to imagine your thumb resting in the same position both on WASD and on homing

[glacial wind]

that's why he knows it's a 99% not going to run into it issue

some people just develop those random habits with stuff

like my middle fingers hovers when i mouse grip for some bizarre reason that i've never known, but i formed that habit somehow

[tawdry tree]

might be blind then lol

[glacial wind]

it's actually an interesting issue, because chanimal, the world champion goat WoW player stopped using mmo mice for same reason

[tawdry tree]

ah, yeah I see

[glacial wind]

he said it was just quicker and more comfortable to not use the mouse buttons

[tawdry tree]

you’d like HM66’s split then haha

[glacial wind]

same for some jett and raze players in valorant. I know that radiant raze player that everyone copies has a video guide telling people not to bind their satchel key to mouse because it messes with aim

[glacial wind]

hm66 would make it even worse for him surely

[tawdry tree]

it’s middle button is extended to the left, compared to the v2

so nah

it’s bigger too

[humble surge]

I just figured it was never comfortable or intuitive, and i have hardcore raided and even did ranked PvP for over a decade now, keyboard binding turned out to be a better solution for me. For the same reason the two extra keys of a split spacebar will come in handy very much.

[glacial wind]

it would put his thumb even more into that awkward spot, he doesn't want to be hitting the middle button is the point

the idea is he wouldn't want the middle button to be his space, because that's cursed

[tawdry tree]

you can’t get around that when you press the middle comfortably lol

unless you’d want to change your habits ofc

[glacial wind]

yeah i think he's just screwed either way, has to change habits regardless for either layout

or just not join team split

[tawdry tree]

there are many boards that have a centered (split) space

I don’t think it’s that uncommon

[tawdry tree]

it’s too useful to not

[glacial wind]

i've learnt that we have very different definitions of common/uncommon

[tawdry tree]

common = common in the split space sphere

nothing else to go off of than that

[glacial wind]

yes we know that's your definition from the many many debates that have happened around this

that's why everyone here is not touching that topic with a 10 foot pole

[tawdry tree]

if you have something better to go off of, lmk

[glacial wind]

i will think of it and definitely never let you know to avoid that conversation entirely

[tawdry tree]

lmao, happens from time to time still

[humble surge]

Thats the problem with everyone having a voice online and often with anonimity, suddenly everything conforms to the person saying it.
My "common", my "true", my "reality". So on so forth.

people complain about pbtfans font sometimes, but they're all great long as you avoid the mod key text options

[tawdry tree]

yeah, I somehow missed it entirely

first seeing it now lol

[tropic urchin]

I’m getting both of these and going to combo it

[tropic urchin]

You can still get it 👀

[glacial wind]

i bet that looks nice on the new silver 60he

[tropic urchin]

It finished production end of August so you got time

[tawdry tree]

I don’t think I have a board it’d fit well with

[tropic urchin]

I was planning on fading in the white and full colored alphas

Kinda like my current lazurite set

[tawdry tree]

I really like the set, fuck man

[tropic urchin]

Build going to be PP, flux, salt lake so it’ll either be plasticky or I’ll achieve lore accurate thock

[humble surge]

I'm still not decided on my GT80 color (i had to delay it a month further due to sudden expenses), but i have some more time to think, aswell as trying to figure out the keycaps aswell.
There are some nice purple caps that are heavily swinging me one way, but not sure yet.

[tropic urchin]

Whatcha plannin for purple

[humble surge]

Someone in this or the 80he channel showed them to me, maybe it was Selene actually?

It had like a codename as such

[tulip rapids]

have these even been shipped out yet?

[tropic urchin]

Definitely me

[humble surge]

I think so?

Searching for past messages i always found difficult on Discord

[tropic urchin]

Purple GT80 is going to be more dark, but I think either that or silver would be best but it won’t go 100% with silver

[humble surge]

I was really thinking of Silver actually

[humble surge]

but then the purple caps with that? will that look good?

idk

[tropic urchin]

There’s renders on the geekhack site as well

[humble surge]

Yeah this, gorgeous

[tropic urchin]

Imagine the GMK cosmos on silver but purple instead of grey/black

Won’t match, but it’ll have a nice contrast I think

[humble surge]

idk what GMK cosmos is sorry

[tawdry tree]

cosmos are just blanks

don’t worry about that

[tropic urchin]

Selene is similar style as Cosmos but it’s purple with more colors and you can read the legends

Lemme find cam’s

[humble surge]

Ohh the blank caps, i don't really understand those tbh, i could never type fully from muscle memory

[tropic urchin]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

It’s the style of it vs blanks and not blanks

[humble surge]

Well that is

[tropic urchin]

Imagine that but purple instead and white legends

[humble surge]

not sure how to put it respectfully

[tropic urchin]

Is how it would look

[tawdry tree]

cosmos vs selene

selene is more cosmosy than cosmos imo

[humble surge]

Yeah i mean Selene is very convincing

[tropic urchin]

Darker purple might go more with it, but the purple GT80 won’t go fully with other sets so you’d need to pick and choose your style if you want other sets too

Silver —> goes with most sets, dark purple would be purple or black only board if that makes sense

[humble surge]

Thats my thinking too, then again, eventually wanted the white zink case aswell

[tawdry tree]

I think selene would go hard with the green one (even if it’s a darker green than it should be)

[humble surge]

Green i also did glance, not off the table

[tropic urchin]

Lemme see

Wait

[tawdry tree]

you need to be careful that you don’t buy something super specific to a certain set

[tropic urchin]

Did you see the green keycap aligner?

[tawdry tree]

when you do, not much else will match

[tawdry tree]

these?

[humble surge]

To be honest i have no clean vision what i want, so it has to be experiments either way

[tawdry tree]

it’s not really “green”

ah ye

[humble surge]

Current case is white, but that doesn't mean i need to lock into that aesthetic

[tropic urchin]

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=123814.0

[humble surge]

plus i can always buy a new case or keycap set in the future

Selene is one very clear point to start with however, i like it that much

[tawdry tree]

these I think would look good with red

[tropic urchin]

I dont think green GT80 would match it well, but the color contrast would be good i think since selene is kind of a melting pot of color (wanted to say something else but not on my christian sunday)

[tropic urchin]

that would be a statement board

[tawdry tree]

on anodized purple as well

[tropic urchin]

I know of about 5 ppl now that are in on Selene, warms my heart

hype train initiated

[humble surge]

The other cap set that seemed interesting is that lined pattern with shine through

[tropic urchin]

the darker purple would go better, mine is going to look mildly weird but idc

cant stop wont stop

[humble surge]

Then lastly i really like the look of some side printed letters on keycaps

But don't really have a set to name specifically

[tawdry tree]

actual threat to your own wallet and the wallet of everyone in here (me included)

[tropic urchin]

so worth it tho

[tawdry tree]

are there any of quality like that?

[tawdry tree]

true

[tropic urchin]

I still remember the day I discovered that set I collectively lost my mind

I was stunned

[humble surge]

I hope so, because if there are, i wanna try.

Ohh almost forgot, and then ceramic as a material was also very interesting to me, not to mention sound wise.
That's also in my head constantly. Just not sure how i would solve the issue of being on ISO.

[tropic urchin]

I think maybe once you combine the novelties with the base set, the silver dream will materialize a bit more

[tawdry tree]

cerakey doesn’t support ISO?

[tropic urchin]

all purple might not fully fit, but the more color you put on the board, the more silver will edge out i think

[humble surge]

I didn't find any no, and not sure what i would change those missing keys for, metal keycaps maybe? do those exist?

[stoic ocean]

I will go on vella they are both good kit

[humble surge]

Anyway time for work, later

[tropic urchin]

they do yeah if you check Awekeys

VERY expensive tho

$350 for base kit type shit

[polar girder]

G2 push it to a fifth map

[tropic urchin]

AI Supremacy

[steady halo]

i kinda like vella, but that kit is venom oriented

while overture is gh60 compatible

u only need an tadpole playe

[stoic ocean]

Both is good idk which one i can buy

[steady halo]

if u don't really want to use wooting, then get vella

[polar girder]

lol ChatGPT looking ahhhh

[steady halo]

because i use both boards, and most likely make the 60he v2 as my main..
i'm gonna buy overture

and also i love tadpole mount

[stoic ocean]

If i want a wooting i buy another keyboard tbh more u have more is good

[steady halo]

true, but nothing beats the wooting experience for me

all are preference

[stoic ocean]

What is différence with O-Ring and tadpole

[kind helm]

i got the v2

much better now

[steady halo]

o-ring is kinda tight and sounds bad if the case internals are meh

tadpole mount is similar to OG frog mini

[stoic ocean]

and which color you think taking?

[steady halo]

@calm pulsar finally i will have a tadpole case

[steady halo]

evil (black)

[stoic ocean]

The price is same with the vella

[steady halo]

$120ish

[calm pulsar]

nice, does that use geon's tadpoles?

[steady halo]

i think so

overture 65 uses Geon's tadpoles right?

[stoic ocean]

I think to get both

One venom and one ouverture silver with wooting pcb

Bcs wooting have rgb and this can look very good

[fluid ravine]

Arrr jeee beee

Ew

[trail bane]

FINALLY

[steady halo]

venom will be available in rgb

both in 7u and 6.25u

[trail bane]

I got approval from my mom. Tomorrow I’m buying GMK Tiramisu, or maybe even today, idk

[chilly mural]

yay

[steady halo]

but still it has no rgb

[steady halo]

YAYYYYY

[trail bane]

Hype

[stoic ocean]

So the ouverture we can buy it without pcb

[steady halo]

ye

with pcb $150

ish

without $120ish

depends on the case variant

[stoic ocean]

I think to get the silver one and wait for the rgb venom pcb

[steady halo]

with the cf sides are $120
rest are $100ish iirc

[stoic ocean]

or the titanium is good too

[steady halo]

ngl,
more tech on the pcb..
the more i'm afraid to break it (because there is no warranty)

i still trust my OG venom

even though i have 2 dead pcb

[stoic ocean]

The more I look at titanium the more I fall under its spell

I hope they launch it after October so I can save between the two keyboards.

[steady halo]

most likely october or nov
