go move to asia

the minimum u can do

[tropic urchin]

I’m gud x2

[steady halo]

what happened between kbdfans and rakka?

i never knew the exact story

[tropic urchin]

Fixing this sinking issue with PP plate on 80HE

[steady halo]

soft plate

no wonder

[tawdry tree]

didn’t geon start to use RISCV with the RGB version and not the venoms before that?

[tropic urchin]

Softest plate on silicone gasket ☝️🤓

[steady halo]

venoms before that use risc-v

fun fact #1 by DarthJ
venom mcu and sayo mcu are the exact same

[tawdry tree]

then Rakka uses RISCV too probably.

[steady halo]

the new rgb is a bit better

but I can't see the reason to use ARM for HE keyboards

since they have their own software, not qmk / via stuff

[steady halo]

this shows how geon created a good firmware

while sayo pcb still fcked on updates

[steady halo]

yeah, it's cheap (because no need to pay license and such) and it's open source

[tawdry tree]

sayo too busy designing proprietary PCBAs for pulsar smhmh

[steady halo]

HAHAHAHA

ngl, from the first time i saw the rgb light

i can say it was made by sayo

[tawdry tree]

idk why they can’t drop those stupid ass LEDs man

[steady halo]

HAHAHA

$160

these days pulsar is becoming logitech G

[tawdry tree]

there are many switches now with flush diffusers, if you install those, the LED is dead

😭

[tawdry tree]

yeah crazy, at least sayo’s own PCBAs were cheap

[steady halo]

ngl since the x2f released for public

they don't hear testers feedback

[tawdry tree]

😕

[steady halo]

20-35

[steady halo]

do u know which discord server rakka uses?

[tawdry tree]

it’s dead

the guy uses discord like once a month himself so it isn’t surprising

[spice plover]

Yeah waiting for someone to try those switches out soon might order a few

[steady halo]

hell nah

i hope because of atlas, rakka will be open to the international community like geon with venom pcb (geon is open with international before venom, but venom was korean exclusive..)

so yeah

let's hope for the best

[trail bane]

Ayo guys

I’m as always proud to be in deep shi*
S o, I’m wondering what to do: I haven’t built anything in a long time and I spotted a tasty Neo65 Core Plus. The case costs about the same as a GMK set, should I jump on this train of the mechanical industry?

Something tells me I’ll never finish the Wooting :)

One of the most convincing arguments is also the 7u spacebar and nice looking sides

[glacial wind]

alright got the peach silent, freya silent, gateron tactiles and some keysnaps on the way

so should be able to update the silent list soon

[tropic urchin]

If you keep jumping around probably true. It really depends on what you really want, but it will require soul searching on your part for what you actually want.

I wouldn’t really build something to build something unless that fits into your keyboard usage plans and unless you want MX for something specific. I think it would be more beneficial to finish your Wooting (eat your vegetables so to speak) or you’ll have 2 boards that you’ll probably be customizing and further dividing your resources @trail bane

Not to mention you still need to get that backpack

[trail bane]

I grab it right before sep 1 so to speak

[chilly mural]

What backpack?

Me wanna know

[tropic urchin]

You’ll have to scroll up or ask Mr lander but idk what specific backpack his fam wanted him to buy

My other advice is establish your vision before you buy it, or you’ll keep the cycle repeating of changing without completion lander

[chilly mural]

What backpack your fam want you to get

[trail bane]

Rnd shi

[chilly mural]

Or cheaping out, i often have to rebuy stuff just because i get something cheaper.

[trail bane]

Cuz it cost me only 30usd ig

[tropic urchin]

Now you won’t be disappeared nice

@trail bane finish your Wooting and then if you want another, you get another that matches the effort you put into your first

[lyric jasper]

ur ice ultra or magnetic jade pro?

[tropic urchin]

I think the ice ultras are probably going to be better for stem wobble and might be a lil deeper, but they also have a box stem variant (Phylina thunderbolt) if you like those too

[spice plover]

within 4 hours my life will change forever

[lyric jasper]

so ice ultra is just better all? and what's the difference between the blue and ur variants

[tropic urchin]

It should be more recent than the Jade pros so performance should be similar or better, probably cheaper too

Haven’t seen the blue variants so can’t say really

[lyric jasper]

alright thanks!

[tropic urchin]

Might just be a recolor

[trail bane]

I don’t operate with logic in these kinds of situations. I sold my old keyboards, and now I realized that carrying them around feels kind of tiring, and I need something more compact.
Still, I think I’ll order a GMK set now and buy a new board someday. I should discipline myself in this but the Neo65 Core Plus looks really dope, and I think the smartest thing I could do is to buy everything for that build at once, not piece by piece like before :)

[tropic urchin]

Or just get something noncustomizable

Unless you have your vision planned out I wouldn’t, but only you can really answer the question as to if you should/want it that much

[chilly mural]

Azoth extreme

[chilly mural]

Someday you will

[trail bane]

About the same amount of time it took RobTop to release update 2.2 for Geometry Dash multiply by

[tropic urchin]

Will you actually use it

[trail bane]

Ofc

At least at school, at work. For now, I’ll only need the Wooting to play a bit, but my playtime has dropped a lot since the school year started, so…

[chilly mural]

Hmm, so the goal is typing feel

[trail bane]

I’d say there’s even more of a philosophical decision behind this: whether to spend 150 euros on a single keycap set or just throw in a couple dozen bucks to get a full-fledged keyboard

[chilly mural]

I mean. There's nothing stopping you from using wooting outside of gaming, but at the same time, mech keyboard might fit your typing preference more.

[trail bane]

Indeed. That’s why I’m always in a deep a** with that kinda questions

[chilly mural]

Do you like typing on wooting and want that gmk sound/look?

[trail bane]

I just want to finish the build, and it so happens that GMK is the only one with what I like. Looking back, btw, I used to say I’d never even consider buying keycaps at that price

[chilly mural]

If that's the case finish it, since it means a clearer mind when it comes to doing school works

[trail bane]

:)

That’s why i love y’all

W advices as always

[polar girder]

lol yeah same

I’m happy with my overpriced set of GMK

[little glen]

what set are you lookin at

[trail bane]

Tiramisu

[little glen]

that ones nice

still super upset i didnt buy dragon witch when it was still in stock

[tidal frigate]

@glacial wind have you tried hmx he switches?

[polar girder]

Yeah I’ve been tempted by Black and Gold and Shaded but I really don’t need more than one set of nice keycaps

[tawdry tree]

[vapid dock]

Hi, I just joined the server so I can get some help regarding a MIDI keyboard project I want to work on.

I want to make a velocity-sensitive MIDI controller for making microtonal music with RGB light-up keys, and I was thinking about using either the Lekker L45 V1 or V2 key switches since they're analog switches that are made for outputting a voltage based on how pressed down the key is. For the PCB, I want to know where to place the holes for the key switch pins and stuff and the LEDs and the hall effect sensors for each key and what LEDs and hall effect sensors to use, but Wooting doesn't seem to say anything about that on their website. I see that they have a bunch of their design files on GitHub but that doesn't seem to include the files for their PCBs. Does anyone have experience making a custom PCB for a keyboard with the Lekker switches or know where the parts and holes go for each switch on the PCB?

[little glen]

the switches are basically just a magnet in a plastic housing, there are lots of other options out there

it may be possible to read the analog values from a wooting keyboard using the wooting analog sdk

cheapest option to test that would be to get a wooting uwu, but probably read through the documentation first

if you want to make a custom pcb, you may be able to find design files for an open source Hall Effect board, no clue if those exist yet. Otherwise you'd have to do some of your own engineering to make it all work.

[calm pulsar]

I feel like for music applications using a keyboard switch might not be comfortable

compared to a midi keyboard that is velocity sensitive, you just bottom out the key with different force

but for a keyboard switch you have to apply a very specific amount of force to keep the switch "mid-air" in order to hit a certain note/velocity which seems too hard to be constantly doing

unless you maybe have super strong springs in the switch

or maybe you have a whole different layout in mind for such a keyboard

[little glen]

true

also unsure if 4 mm travel is enough for such a thing

[calm pulsar]

yeah I was also thinking maybe it would need more travel

[little glen]

but the basics of it are still just magnet moving closer and further from sensor which seems simple enough to adapt to this use case (tho idk how hard firmware development etc would be)

[vapid dock]

Well people have made a number of different MIDI keyboard designs with computer key switches like this one:
https://shapingthesilence.com/tech/hexboard-midi-controller/

My keyboard would have a key layout less like a piano and more like a square grid

[little glen]

interesting

[calm pulsar]

oh that is very cool
they seem mechanical here, though
so I assume they just have an on/off state

[little glen]

that is a cool project but it will involve a lot of hardware and software development, so get ready for that

[chilly mural]

One thing I can imagine you doing is to get 2he and extend where the sensor is. Since it's just going through a wire, I think it's possible for you to just change where the sensor is.

[calm pulsar]

yeah reading analog values and outputting to VST or wherever you play should be more involving than a board with MX switches like that, but it would be something new and interesting

[vapid dock]

Well I have some experience already with designing MIDI keyboards and doing the firmware for them:
https://tristanbay.com/gear/ts41-midi-keyboard/

[little glen]

that is very cool

But yeah, this is a Hall Effect switch, as you can see it just has 2 pins coming out that serve as mechanical support for stability and no electrical connection to the pcb

in theory you could design a pcb that doesnt even include holes for the pins but i would not recommend that, as stability is key on Hall Effect due to the high degree of precision of the sensors

firmware would need to calibrate, read voltage difference coming from the sensor and turn that into whatever signal you want

[vapid dock]

Reading the voltage difference is what I'd plan on doing. I'd take the difference between 2 readings to get velocity

That doesn't sound too hard

The hall-effect sensors are on the underside of the PCB, right?

[little glen]

yep

[vapid dock]

The double-sided PCBA is gonna be more expensive to make

Since the LEDs will have to go on the opposite side

[tawdry tree]

Woot’s boards aren’t opensource, they just provide the design files (mostly to make your own case and such). There is an opensource HE board project however, which is probably the best you’re gonna get: https://github.com/peppapighs/HE60

[vapid dock]

This is helpful! Thank you

[tawdry tree]

A whole lot of redesigning will still be required of course, but it’s something at least. :)

[vapid dock]

Unless I use a mirror to redirect the light or something

[little glen]

idk if this is a thing but

could you just put holes in the pcb

and let the led shine through from below

[tawdry tree]

Why can’t the LEDs go on the same side as well? Like with most keyboards out there.

(the back/bottom)

[little glen]

yeah i just checked and thats how wooting do it as well

just put the led below and let it shine through

it would be better regardless, since a lot of switches nowadays include a diffuser that sits flush with the pcb and that may crush any leds you place there

have you taken a look

[tawdry tree]

https://tenor.com/view/sleepy-dog-sleeping-sleeping-dog-dog-sleeping-tiny-eepy-dog-gif-2292331323183720739

[little glen]

look again

[tawdry tree]

Woot’s LEDs are placed at the underside of the PCB

like all the other components

the only difference is that the LEDs are placed over a hole

this is the case for most keyboard PCBAs

[little glen]

tries to spread misinformation
gets called out immediately
leaves

[chilly mural]

North or South? BOTH

[tawdry tree]

ye, north or south alone doesn’t cut it anymore

[little glen]

we need north south east west

[chilly mural]

It's kinda nice, with the HE switches not having any pin on the bottom like mech do

[tawdry tree]

https://tenor.com/view/flashbang-flash-cat-betterttv-gif-10690574645280585754

[tawdry tree]

single best thing about magnetic switches

[little glen]

honestly perfect if you have a switch with transparent top/bottom housing that have some sort of coloring on them

now all your shit looks red no matter what you do on your settings

[chilly mural]

if you cut the leg or it falls off on its own, you can kinda having LED on all 4 cardinal direction, might need another USB for power

[tawdry tree]

that’s what the board comes with haha, a switch with two diffusers

[trail bane]

[tawdry tree]

what in the ratcat is ts 😭

[little glen]

the ai got confused while generating it

[tawdry tree]

this might be a crazy take, but I think 4 LEDs per switch would be a bit too much.

I can see the appeal in 2 per switch though, especially when they’re individually addressable

[calm pulsar]

https://youtu.be/lWA2pjMjpBs

[chilly mural]

I only need the lightbar rgb from 80he and I'm set

[tropic urchin]

no we need 5 LEDs per switch to justify the increasing costs of meta switches

its all you need at the end of the day

[chilly mural]

4 LED on all direction + 1 on the plate

[calm pulsar]

5 rgb diffusers in the switch😭

[tropic urchin]

how can you possibly see the RGB with only 4 LEDs

[chilly mural]

this is like saying you need 8ba iem cause it's the only way for New Meta to be represented

[tropic urchin]

No no it’s the only way of being able to hear God in the mortal plane

[tawdry tree]

black or beige? 🤔

[chilly mural]

for the v2 or something?

[spice plover]

Beige bro you guys wanna open it with me

[humble surge]

gorgeous white PCB, grew to admire them due to HoF (well and some motherboards doing it nice now aswell)

[tawdry tree]

yeah I like white PCBs too. white with gold/brass and black with gold are both nice imo

I don’t care much for the color actually, as long as they’re densely populated lol

love that the most

[humble surge]

When EVGA still lived, the dream was to do a full black/gold setup with some of their products, sadly due to constraints it never came to fruition. Now since they are off the table, i turned to white and HoF in a sense.

I still have their board in this white PC though, golden edges

[vapid dock]

I didn't even notice that they were through a hole on the board when I looked on the website. That's nice

[tawdry tree]

I lovee discord outage

[tropic urchin]

Now you gotta make a blood mage build in POE 2

[humble surge]

@tawdry tree what do you think of this? (stole it from ATK)

[tropic urchin]

@calm pulsar now this is the 5 LED per switch RGB

[calm pulsar]

so usable, very aesthetic

[tropic urchin]

Much sarcasm

[tawdry tree]

65%

I’ll see how dual LEDs are soon enough

not sure if I’ll be able to live without afterwards tho

[humble surge]

I guess i mean't just purely visually

[tawdry tree]

ye ik haha, but I think it’s a bit brighter normally

it seems like the switches used in that board don’t let light through very well

oh, that isn’t a dual LED board at all?

[humble surge]

I'm not sure at all, i just semi liked the visuals

[tawdry tree]

just transparent keycaps

[humble surge]

I personally prefer to have function keys so 80% is probably much more me.

But the caps might be interesting

[tawdry tree]

transparent keycaps are interesting but they’re already a bit too overhyped for my taste

[humble surge]

Valid point, i think we discussed much better caps in here already anyway

[tawdry tree]

I really wonder how shine-through top and side legends would look with dual LEDs in different colors

[humble surge]

Also i assume (without properly understanding) that the transparency comes at the cost of something

[tropic urchin]

Just use flux and shadows die twice thru glaring lights and inaudible clack

[tawdry tree]

yeah, can’t double shot it or dye-sub afaik

so just printed legends

which is kinda ass

[humble surge]

so it's garbo ABS yeah?

[tawdry tree]

not necessarily garbo or ABS but yeah

[humble surge]

hmm

[tropic urchin]

Mostly just wanna stay away from anything printed/UV printed best to my knowledge for keycaps anyway

[tawdry tree]

I rather live deaf than not at all so I guess i’ll take the fluxies

[tropic urchin]

WHAT DID YOU SAY??

[tawdry tree]

unless side print, then it’s fine (as long as you like the aesthetics).

[humble surge]

I just made it my goal to stay away from ABS, i have heard that there are somehow better quality variants of it today, but i think i'll just keep that habit.

[tropic urchin]

Haven’t seen that in a hot minute

[tropic urchin]

Just needs to be high quality, same with PBT rather than staying away from either type outright unless you want the thock type shiii

[humble surge]

I'm not gonna gamble, just staying off them

[tawdry tree]

Most transparent keycaps are PC afaik and I don’t think PC shines quickly.

[humble surge]

what is PC in this context?

[tawdry tree]

polycarbonate

[humble surge]

aha

[tropic urchin]

KBDfans needs to ship my salt lake caps 🥀

[humble surge]

Did you show those before?

[tropic urchin]

For salt lake?

[humble surge]

yeah

[tropic urchin]

Here’s what it is essentially, putting a few diff POVs for how they look

[calm pulsar]

sekiro mentioned

[tropic urchin]

Left is the full alt alphas and the first on right is using mostly the white alphas

Didn’t know my left or rights for a sec, amerikan edu moment

Cursed twitter thumbs going too fast

[humble surge]

I'm a little confused, so which full keyboard on the pictures is the set yours will look like?

[tropic urchin]

I’ll send the base kit one sec

That’s default, I got the side alphas too to mix and match

[humble surge]

Ahh so those 4 colors

[tropic urchin]

Yeah it’s complicated

Which is why I got it

[humble surge]

Well you will customize it further is what you mean

[tropic urchin]

Lots of vibrancy

Ye

Exactly

[humble surge]

i guess alt alphas mean alternative letters?

[tropic urchin]

Depending on the set, alt alphas just means a different alpha keys from what’s shown in the base kits (i.e. letters are a different color)

My GMK lazurite set was all blue but had an alt alpha set of white keys too

As an example

[humble surge]

They really need to ship it then, wanna see what you will make

[tropic urchin]

I’ll make a variation of my current board

Going to do a similar \ color theme but need to see how it looks

[humble surge]

Thats funny, i'm almost certain i saw that blue keycap set before, even bookmarked it. But thats years and years ago, maybe it's just very similar to this.

[tropic urchin]

Interesting, GMK lazurite was a 2021 group buy

Maybe you’re an OG

[humble surge]

The split looks great, love the spacebar aswell, it couldn't have been either of the two colors!

let me see

[tropic urchin]

The novelties sold me hardcore

[spice plover]

Bro this took me forever I put the PCB standoffs opposite idk how it was even possible

[humble surge]

Damn no, it wasn't the GMK cyl Lazurite, but a full set of that same color of caps with several golden decorations like that. I have no clue who the manufacturer was or what was it called. I recall very fancy though.

But i have to say CYL Lazurite is getting added to the list, this looks awesome.

[tropic urchin]

You have to be careful for the blues since RGB can bleed a bit and it looks darker in some areas which is cringe, but once you play with it it’s not too bad

[humble surge]

Fair enough

[tropic urchin]

Was it this embolia https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-cyl-lazurite

Think it should be the same as mine iirc

[humble surge]

no

If i find it one day, you will be the first to know

It was the same fancy blue/gold combo with decorations, but the whole set was just that, for mechanical keyboards at the time. Could be years back from 2021 even, unsure.

[tropic urchin]

It’s a shame the guy behind the set only did 1-2 other ones and then dipped during his last one and is MIA ://

So far looking forward to using my first PBT set in salt lakes and then waiting for the glory that is GMK Selene

[humble surge]

Whats up with Selene? OOS or what?

[tropic urchin]

Still early in the group buy process

There was no update since February but early August there’s an update that it’s not dead in the water so it’s still in the works

[humble surge]

Ohh i thought that was a ready to buy product, i see

[tropic urchin]

Nah

IC was last October

Technically still in it but one I’m very hype for

If you like purple Selene will be a stunner

[humble surge]

Thats not half bad, maybe i can buy by the time it would ship, short on fun money for the month atm.

[tropic urchin]

You’ll have time

[humble surge]

they don't go giga OOS?

[tropic urchin]

After the group buy it does until r/mechmarket guys get a few in stock which is where I scored lazurite

[humble surge]

So we have to lock the eff in, okay

[tropic urchin]

I was the first to discover GMK Selene in here

Fact aligner is in on it means it has to be goated

[humble surge]

I'm a huge space/sci-fi nerd, so those novelties appeal aswell. Wish there were more sets themed for that.

[tropic urchin]

I’m a huge purple guy so the fact we get lore accurate GMK cosmos with readable legends is awesome

[humble surge]

:)

[tropic urchin]

And we get lunar purple keycaps with sprinkled teal and other colors is huge

[humble surge]

true

[tropic urchin]

I’d imagine we’ll see it to buy mid 2026

Which SUCKS, but it is what it is

[humble surge]

I don't mind, something to look forward to

[tropic urchin]

True true

Gives me time to migrate lazurite to benom and rotate salt lakes a bit

Build is going to be WS flux + PP plate and salt lake on GT80

[humble surge]

Can't wait for this silly mouse to arrive and then my Amazon DE refund coming in, then a few extra days to ship the router, so then i can have everything consolidated and ship to me. Then we setting up the wooting and new mouse aswell as the router.

[tropic urchin]

It’s true

[tropic urchin]

I lost my mind that day

I found that aggregator site and looked through it and found that particular set and my purple radar exploded

Salt lake is available next week fire

[warm gate]

should i tape mod my 80he even tho it has that massive sticker on the back

[robust siren]

that works as a tape mod from factory

[warm gate]

thats what i was thinking just didnt know if a DIY tape job would be better

[sacred elm]

Not worth imo, difference is very small

Just use stock PET sticker

[steady halo]

if u use 4 layers, it will be more poppy

[calm pulsar]

if you're not doing at least 13 layers what are you doing even

[sacred elm]

Real

[glacial wind]

hrm canon launching new mini cinema camera competitor to sony, but no ibis. That's going to turn off a lot of the youtuber/hobby folks

[chilly mural]

What's ibis?

[glacial wind]

in body image stabilisation

usually not used by top tier cinema level pro filmers, but heavily used by small to medium sized filmers

[chilly mural]

Umu

[calm pulsar]

is 5'7 enough to be a medium sized filmer

[glacial wind]

Sorry Korean rules apply

180cm or above

[calm pulsar]

it's over

I'm going to China then

(they lifted visa restrictions)

though I think I can go to Korea for 90 days without a visa

[prime orbit]

For Wooting v2

The stock one is pretty good out the box right?

[calm pulsar]

yeah I think 60hev2 with tikkens is going to be a nobrainer setup, like before you'd have to buy custom stuff but this will have everything

fr4 plate, alu case, closed bottom switch

[prime orbit]

Bet

And Tikken is close to the raptor v2?

In wobble I guess

Idk about everything else

Also how does fr4 compare to POM plate?

[calm pulsar]

I think tikkens are ti he level of wobble, sound, but with full 4mm travel

[prime orbit]

Trying to compare it to my old build I sold

😭

[calm pulsar]

denser plate, clackier sound in theory

[prime orbit]

Hmmm

Ok

Might get a different plate

[calm pulsar]

this is based on nothing btw lol, I just heard somewhere that the manu is the same as Ti HE, but I could be wrong

[uneven cradle]

Yeah but when Sony A7V

[prime orbit]

I mean a lot of people like them

I just had the raptor v2

So idk how they compared to that

[glacial wind]

60he v2 comes with a lot of foam mods and such preinstalled too

like the poron foam under alpha keys, pet film etc

so out of the box experience is quite nice

[harsh dove]

^^

[glacial wind]

plate will of course be personal preference though. I like even stiffer plates personally, so i'll probably buy an aftermarket cf plate once they're out

[spice plover]

sno i finally put it together

[harsh dove]

yeah I was surprised how many mods they had preinstalled

[spice plover]

its so nice

[glacial wind]

yeah on the v2 i don't even know what there is to mod outside of changing switches/keycaps if you want

all the other stuff is already stock lol

[harsh dove]

yeah and plate basically

if you want a different plate

[glacial wind]

even the tapemod is now proper tapemod material

[harsh dove]

Yeah fr, I really liked the improved tape mod over the 80HE version

[sacred elm]

[calm pulsar]

is it a mere 1 layer?

[harsh dove]

yeah but as sno said it's proper tape mod material now

[sacred elm]

Not even 7 layer

[calm pulsar]

yeah im just joking

[harsh dove]

haha figured there was a bit of sarcasm in there but didn't know if you were genuinely asking or not

[calm pulsar]

yeah I think stock 60hev2 is looking like a complete experience, no need to mod anything even

fr4 plate, alu case, screw in stabs

closed bottom switch

[glacial wind]

i think the only thing i'd do to stock 60he v2 is relube the stabs, but that goes for every stock built keyboard really

[calm pulsar]

might even get away with lubing the stem/housing from outside with the brush and putting some grease with a syringe to the wire

unless the wire is not balanced

then might need to disassemble

[robust siren]

i have 3 layers

ermmmm im broke

im at $0 :D

[polar girder]

Cheap af wtf

FUGGGGG

[sacred elm]

Wobble should be as good as Raptor, just hope no spring crunch shit

[little glen]

Now i need a shop in EU to stock them

[sacred elm]

I think UniKeys is both EU and NA

[little glen]

Gonna have to spring swap them tho

Those springs are too light

[calm pulsar]

right now it looks exactly like astrolinks and raptor v2s lol, I hope it doesn't have the same issues

but fiberglass housing

pretty cool

[sacred elm]

[little glen]

I guess now i wait for them to be in stock

I didnt want to spend any money on keyboards the foreseeable future but i gotta jump on that

[sacred elm]

Surely no issues...

[fluid ravine]

if it doesnt then holllyyyyy

endgame switches for me

trust

Lube on rails and stem

dry on bottom housing floor

[calm pulsar]

I tried looking them up on aliexpress just in case but found only black knights called crystal magnetic switch lmao

[glacial wind]

that's interesting

not in stock though so i wonder when they actually stock it there and on other vendors

[little glen]

Sno can you test em so i dont have to

[glacial wind]

yeah i'll buy them when available

[little glen]

Wooting‘s money vs my money

[sacred elm]

[robust siren]

i just bought new switches

https://tenor.com/view/fade-away-oooooooooooo-aga-emoji-crumble-gif-20008708

[little glen]

True

Raptor v2 werent even good enough for me to have to change my underwear after trying them in my board

[glacial wind]

it would also help if korean customs didn't literally have a package of my underwear that they're taking 2 weeks to clear for some reason

[little glen]

Bio hazard

[glacial wind]

they could at least let me wear them first

i've received like 20 packages of switches since then but somehow my meundies underwear needs 2 weeks of inspection

[robust siren]

my friend has his cabel management channels from temu held at customs for 2 months (and counting)

[little glen]

Customs want to save him from temu

[glacial wind]

i'm convinced they put the wrong import number or something on my package, but when i emailed the company to see if they needed more import information from me the only reply i got was "yes your package is in customs clearance" then closed my ticket immediately

[sacred elm]

Someone is already wearing them, forget.

[glacial wind]

maybe they were also enticed by the great meundies 50% sale recently

[little glen]

I just buy that stuff from uniqlo

But every time i buy some i forget how expensive it gets 😭

[glacial wind]

they do have good tshirts

airism oversized is the best oversized blank and supima t shirt is the best normal fit blank

[little glen]

Unfortunately i dont wear blanks

[prime orbit]

i have 15

[little glen]

I‘m not stylish, i wear band merch

[prime orbit]

only thing i wear

[fringe quarry]

supima kinda mid lowkey

[little glen]

Not even like, just metal or anything but its all over so getting one consistent look is basically impossible

[fringe quarry]

i agree on the airism tho

[glacial wind]

i tried the hm ones but they sucked and got ruined way faster than uniqlo tees

[little glen]

Those cheap fast fashion brands always suck

But tbf that kinda applies to everything now

[fringe quarry]

haven't tried hm ones but supima felt similar to other cheapish ones pretty fast

[little glen]

Too much price pressure downwards

[fringe quarry]

although the fabric is still nicer

[glacial wind]

yeah supima you're paying for just softer cotton, but it's still cotton

[fringe quarry]

can wear them below stuff for many years

[glacial wind]

the only thing with supima i don't like is their white tee is a little thinner than i'd like

[fringe quarry]

they did have some quality decrease over the years

[glacial wind]

i think their supima has always been like that though, just a thinner gsm

it's great in non white though, just the white can be a little see through

[little glen]

Thats why, if you find one piece of clothing you love, you should always buy like 10 of it

[glacial wind]

but trend is all oversized now so everyone just buys the airism oversized ones

[fringe quarry]

wear 2 🧠

[fringe quarry]

wish i did that with socks

now they dont make the ones i liked anymore

and i got way too many slightly different versions

not a streamlined sorting process

[prime orbit]

wish i found some good socks

[chilly mural]

I should do that on my next uniqlo shopping

Me needs more long pants and tshirt with plain look

[uneven cradle]

Not a fan of the airism stuff personally

[glacial wind]

the oversized airism is different though to the rest of airism, it's a thicker material so not like the undershirt stuff they use for rest of line

[glacial wind]

they have a pretty nice semi tapered stretchy dri fit pants these days. It's like a slightly not as nice version of lululemons pants, but for 1/10th the cost

[uneven cradle]

I think I have a couple airism oversized tees but they tend to make me sweat more instead of less I'd rather a plain cotton shirt

[glacial wind]

honestly though people hate spending but the lululemon pants be worth the price if you wear pants every day. absurdly expensive but they do last forever and are super comfy for pants

i think they're running into problem in US now where they saturated the market and their pants last so long that most people never go back and buy more pants

[little glen]

my problem with lululemon is that name

cant take it seriously

its too bouba, i want a little more kiki

[glacial wind]

i'm still curious on those pbtfans blanks that have fiberglass in them

they claim it adds a pop to the sound but i don't know anyone with them

[little glen]

that does sound interesting

[fringe quarry]

lcp keycaps when

[little glen]

they are pretty cheap

maybe ill pick em up next time i buy something from kbdfans

[fringe quarry]

after more research i came to the conclusion that we need keycaps made from PEEK

estimated price is atleast $50 per keycap

who wants to invest

[north girder]

why not cast iron keycaps

or tungsten

[fringe quarry]

too heavy for switches

[north girder]

CARBIDE

[fringe quarry]

a single layer of graphene

[north girder]

what a smart idea
just sprinkle some graphit pukver on your keyboard

imagine magnesium keycaps

[little glen]

finally a real punishment for people spilling water on their keeb

it just explodes

[steel timber]

is pcbsnap/keysnap working with 60he ?

[fallen pecan]

Forged carbon caps

[north girder]

that was Lithium or potassium

[noble turret]

Todaaay might be the day i get my 80he! 😄

So I can finally stop playing with my switches which i already received before I manage to break them with my brutish hands

[steady halo]

which one

[glacial wind]

beluga and lyla their white and black blanks

i'm also curious to see how they perform if the user turns on rgb because they're only 1.3mm thick

[tawdry tree]

both PCBs have the same thickness and size is almost the same too. Just depends on which case you want to use them with afaik.

[glacial wind]

I’ll test it this week. I have keysnaps on the way from geon

[little glen]

ah shit i wanted to order keysnaps from deltakey and forgot

i think they are out of stock now

[calm heath]

jesus christ

[languid kestrel]

that's extremely cheap

[austere creek]

this is non vat and non shipping

also missing refinement of the file for CNC

and refinement of the case design for CNC/metal

[languid kestrel]

oh they don't show you the entire charge? that's cool...

[austere creek]

yeah its an estimate

theyll have engineers check if its doable

prob theyd flag some stuff in our files as they arent optimized or even made for CNC but injection molding

[languid kestrel]

thought it was binding quote

[austere creek]

lol no

[languid kestrel]

yeah no you can't machine it as is

that's why I said extremely cheap

[austere creek]

they also state its without vat, shipping and only for reference

[languid kestrel]

but they'll tack on at least another 100% for converting it to machinable if that's the case

[austere creek]

so i had some sheet metal stuff done with laser cutting and the quote was about 70% of the actual price and then came tax and shipping on top

at the end i paid like 600eur

[languid kestrel]

yeah I would have seen this if discord on mobile worked

[calm heath]

its literal just the bottom part of a two he because there is no such thing as aftermarket two he cases

[languid kestrel]

this how it looks like when you zoom in on mobile

[austere creek]

ah ok yeah

[languid kestrel]

yes

[austere creek]

yes

and itll prob rise in price if youd submit it

[calm heath]

also really stupid question, should i have thread holes tapped in or just use the existing screws

[languid kestrel]

you need threaded holes in aluminimum

[calm heath]

but i don't have a 2d blueprint of a wooting 2 he for that

[austere creek]

id personally prob pay a CNC engineer to optimize and check the file before ordering the part

if you send a file itll get made for whatever that file is... if its wrong you sit on the cost

(i found out the 600eur hard way)

[calm heath]

i just took the provided stp file from the github and removed everything but the bottom case

[austere creek]

yes but the file isnt made for cnc

[calm heath]

oof

[austere creek]

its just a 3d file

[languid kestrel]

yeah it'll be extremely unnecessarily hard to machine

[austere creek]

for example all the ribbing at the bottom prob needs to go

[languid kestrel]

yep

[calm heath]

okay time to look at fiverr

[austere creek]

youd prob also not want the flipout feet function

and have some sort of other feet solution

id estimate in total for optimizing even the 3d file we give for the default case and then getting it made and shipped you prob look at 300-400 eur

[languid kestrel]

in other words what tony is saying is throw the file away and design a new case

[austere creek]

prob easier yeah

lol

[languid kestrel]

it's just easier and makes for a better product

then you can get it machined for 200-300

[austere creek]

all attempts we have seen from people so far have been completely new designs and they also ended up at the 300-400eur mark of cost

so price wise no difference to fixing the current case for CNCing

[calm heath]

wait thers people who already made a custom case for a two he

[austere creek]

theres a german company who tried

but we didnt hear from them for a year now or a year and a half after they tried to gain insight into how many would sell

so i assume there was no interest or not enough at least

which makes sense

[languid kestrel]

yeah no

the 3 people who want it don't wanna pay 400 for one

[austere creek]

or theyd be ready to pay the price but only if it fits other fullsize boards as well (which is a pipe dream in fullsize land)

[languid kestrel]

haha yeah also no

[calm heath]

its already a pipe dream to have a hall effect number pad

[austere creek]

is it?

[calm heath]

afaik the two he is like the only decent full size hall effect keyboard

that has rgb support

[languid kestrel]

I'm taking this message as evidence that wooting is working on one

[austere creek]

ok but we never really said we wont ever do a numpad or any of the more niche formfactors really

[calm heath]

wait separate num pad?

[austere creek]

while we arent working on them we basically shelved them for later

[languid kestrel]

lies and untruths

[austere creek]

like with the wooting klein thats now the uwu

[languid kestrel]

full wooting numpad confirmed!

[austere creek]

it was shelved for years until its time came

(although i still prefer the original design personally)

[uneven cradle]

does have a rather large feedback post for it

[austere creek]

yeah you can go there and voice your wish for one

[glossy pagoda]

Full size best size

[languid kestrel]

yeah I personally don't think it'll sell after the 17 people who want one, buy one

but I'm ready to be proven wrong I guess

[calm heath]

80 he + wooting numpad = newer 2 he/more complex version of a 2 he

[languid kestrel]

no it sucks actually because numpad is directly in mouse area

[uneven cradle]

true if they bring that out then they never need to refresh the Two HE

[calm heath]

me with infinite desk space:

[glossy pagoda]

Skill issue

[languid kestrel]

and you never need numpad for anything anyway

it's not about desk space for me, it's about comfort

having my arms 10 million miles apart is awful

[glossy pagoda]

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

[calm heath]

ngl i personally want to see a two he with gasket mounting like the 80 he

[calm heath]

true but holy shit is it a pain in the ass to go with a tkl + num pad and the rgb doesn't really match

[austere creek]

so the uwu has been shelved for a good 4yrs or so

i cant find a picture of the prototypes

sadge

[languid kestrel]

I'm just really curious what people even use a numpad for

[glossy pagoda]

Competitive excel

[calm heath]

excel spreadsheets, gta v airplane controls

[ionic breach]

i remember watching that

the commentators was so hyped

[austere creek]

here they are

[languid kestrel]

so the airplane controls can be rebound, spreadsheets a normal person uses once a year

[austere creek]

from roughly 2020

thats what the uwu was before it became the uwu

[glossy pagoda]

Woot Klein 🤩

[languid kestrel]

yeah I really liked that design

[austere creek]

still wish we did the quirky colors and such

it just looks so good

[calm heath]

welp time to find a cnc person that can make a keyboard case

[languid kestrel]

if you do it locally you'll be paying on the order of 500+ most likely

[austere creek]

@calm heath try reaching out to them maybe you got some luck

(afaik we never got the prototype they mentioned in the message)

[calm heath]

Would it be possible to repurposes the two he pcb and convert it from plate mounted to gasket mounted?

Or would that need a new pcb

[austere creek]

yes? youd basically just have to redesign everything

[languid kestrel]

yeah you take the pcb and design every other part anew

[austere creek]

you could use the holes for the bottom case stems that connect the topplate to screw on a plate to the pcb like we do for the 60he and 80he

just means you now need a custom case, custom plate and custom silicone sheet

[calm heath]

At this point I should just ask for rights to use wootility since this went from aluminum bottom case to full blown new keyboard

[austere creek]

i mean the case design is usually not the hardest part of making a keyboard

its expensive cause you want metal

thats basically all it boils down to

[languid kestrel]

well no, you'll still use the same PCB so that's the only thing that matters for that

[calm heath]

If i keep it tray mounted sure

[austere creek]

i mean personally i think youre the one that keeps escalating this. im unsure how at this point we can be dragged into the discussion

if you want to make your own pcb, own firmware, source parts, solder it, make your own case design and all that: go ahead by all means

[languid kestrel]

no regardless of anything

you cannot not have the same PCB if you want it to be Wootility-compatible

if you want to use another HE PCB, then it's not a wooting keyboard mod but another keyboard

[calm heath]

Oh well square 1 time

Bottom aluminum case

(Until theres a wooting number pad)

[uneven cradle]

even that's a lot more work than you're probably anticipating but show the results here if you do end up making one

[calm heath]

Last stupid question:

Wouldn't it be possible to use the stp file for additive manufacturing (aka using powder to make part) instead of cnc

[austere creek]

in theory yes

in practice it probably faces some of the same issues CNCing the STP file has although i wouldnt know which or if thats really the case

[little glen]

i would just recommend designing a new bottom case (you can use the original as a base ofc to get the measurements right and the screw locations etc)

[calm heath]

Ngl this is the move ill copy the tofu /j

[tropic urchin]

Tf?

[north girder]

id highly recommend to prototype by 3d printing yourself on a filament printer first

[glacial wind]

Hrm was your gateron tactile that didn’t bottom out tested in an 80he for you @north girder

[north girder]

ofc
but they werent gateron tactiles
they were some spark like linears with different materials

tactile on the right
tge switch i had problems with on the right

[glacial wind]

Ah okay interesting

Because I’m running some tests on switch stability right now and I can get the weird bottom out issues on my 60he v2 but not on my 80he or 60he

So going to ask Simon and see what’s up

[north girder]

do u use sparks or the emeralds?

[glacial wind]

Sparks

[north girder]

also do u use the same switch or do u have each of them kitted with different switches

[glacial wind]

Emeralds have different travel distance so they might be fine

Same switch

[north girder]

thats odd

[glacial wind]

I think maybe the v2 software I’m using just isn’t finished maybe but going to check and see what’s going on

[north girder]

i had some of my raptor v2s not instantly autocalibrate but they calibrated within 5 full presses aswell

[glacial wind]

It is an alpha version after all

yeah calibrating within a few presses is how it’s supposed to work right now

And that’s what happens with the sparks too in my 80he and 60he

Just not the v2

[north girder]

ideally u dont need any presses
and it would save previous calibration on onboard storage and check after power on with the first full press if the switch needs to be recalibrated

[glacial wind]

I’ll check internally to see what’s up, but will be nice if this means it’s only a v2 unfinished software thing and the switches work fine on finished software

[glacial wind]

Well the way right now is most accurate and it should be checking

The problem is more of it does it where it doesn’t calibrate within that 5-10 seconds or whatever it is

Then you have an issue with compatibility/software

[glacial wind]

hrm simon or someone may have already fixed the spark compatibility thing @north girder - now my v2 is able to work with sparks fine too (although it does take slightly longer to figure it out)

i'm going to swap my v2 back to sparks full build for abit and see if it's fixed

[north girder]

is there a firmware update for my 80he?

or some beta i can participate in?

well i wont use my geon jade sparks until my cf plate arrives anyways

[tawdry tree]

They don’t have an encapsulated magnet either

[north girder]

they dont have a loose jiggely magnet either

[tawdry tree]

compatibility should be the same as Jades (if they used the same magnet properties).

[tawdry tree]

yeah

no split stem for Emeralds

[glacial wind]

it's working fine on the current public release, at least on my 80he it did

i'm testing it now on my v2 to see, but the sparks compensated fine on my 80he and 60he

[tired bay]

hey guys, i just got my wooting 80he n wootility on chrome cant detect is as a hid device

but my pc settings says its there

[glacial wind]

okay yep still same issues. It's just that some keys take a lot of data and time to trigger the calibration because they're so far below normal magnetic range @north girder

[trail bane]

Did you by any chance buy the “Wooting” as a kit with the Holy80 from KBDfans?

[glacial wind]

so will have to wait for switch tester to really make them work well

[ionic breach]

rip

[ionic breach]

so to clarify, you did not buy a wooting

[tired bay]

oh right that makes sense

[ionic breach]

the holy80 is meant as a case for the wooting but kbdfans also made their own inhouse pcb for it

[tired bay]

ohh

no wonder

cuz friend built it for me

[ionic breach]

i would use this software

[tired bay]

he told me to use via

[trail bane]

It’s just that something tells me that if he didn’t change the keyboard name in the settings and it’s originally displayed as Holy80, then it’s definitely not a Wooting

[tired bay]

mb twin

[ionic breach]

https://tofix.cc/connect

should be this one

[tired bay]

what would you recommend to control rgb

[trail bane]

Makes sense

[tired bay]

oh my days

he bent the pins on like 10 of my switches

my damn five aint working

[tawdry tree]

https://www.zfrontier.com/app/flow/j88ZGoOMQ6P6 if only they had a black option, would go hard with black and gold. that R6 set would look great on the off-white one.

[little glen]

hot damn

is it hhkb only

[humble surge]

ohh my god

[tawdry tree]

don’t think so

[little glen]

if its gh60 compatible i'd be super interested

[tawdry tree]

they list surprisingly little lol

[little glen]

yeah cant even spot the usb port

[tawdry tree]

it’s gasket so a custom plate could potentially work

[tawdry tree]

yeah exactly, hidden in every picture

[north girder]

yeah exactly that

[paper bison]

man can it be q4 already i want my damn tikkens

the owlabs are nice but CMON

[north girder]

i just rememberd i still have the coupon from keeping my white zinc case

so ill get 90 tikkens for pocket change

[paper bison]

doubt they'll be super expensive in the first place ngl

most of us will be buying the switches alone

[north girder]

nope 30-50 bucks

[paper bison]

light

[tropic urchin]

Which switch is safe to consoom comrade

[robust siren]

the uh…. candy ones

[tropic urchin]

Checkmate damn

[north girder]

gateron sparkling waters

[tropic urchin]

Hopefully they chose the nice flavor for sparkling waters

Knowing Gateron they probably chose lemon or some shii

[north girder]

sparkling water has water taste lol

ITS WATER NOT A SODA U GODDAMN AMERICAN

We have ice calm down Mr. room temp

[tidal frigate]

You mean putting food into hole

[polar girder]

Room temp is the best temp

I add warm water to my cold water

[north girder]

huh why would u even think thats common in Europe

[tidal frigate]

I'am Polish, isint like Germany poor

[little glen]

jakub pls dont start talking about your bucket

[north girder]

we are so poor ya poles come over to us in ya shabby white vans for a stealing trip

[ruby bay]

Hello someone can tell me if its mandatory to add this to the order pls ? i only want change my case and keycaps btw if someone have a good balck and orange keycaps ansi cherry with arabic legends that will be great ty all

[little glen]

not needed but its nice for more weight and different sound

but if you dont care then you dont need it

[jade narwhal]

what's ur case

[little glen]

this looks like tofu

[jade narwhal]

oh i see the weight filler foam

[polar girder]

Not mandatory. But FWIW I thought the redux without the weight originally. Then bought the weight months later and would recommend the weight

Case is solid without it tho. But improves feel and acoustics.

[ionic breach]

pick one or the other

the bar is there to reduce some resonance (vibrations) but if u dont wanna spend the extra the foam is the cheaper alternative

[glacial wind]

it's interesting just how much that silencing mechanism affects the accuracy of switches

been testing switch magnet compatibility all day, man those silencing dampeners make all the switches have so much variance

i knew it affected it a lot, but seeing it visually in the switch tester tools with how just pressing slightly off axis or slightly less pressure at bottom/top changes the variance of silenced switches so much

@ionic breach @polar girder but there is the same things in my wooting right ?

[tawdry tree]

$20 HE PCBA (same software as the Neo65 Sonic HE+ [same OEM most likely]): https://a.aliexpress.com/_Eveontg

[ionic breach]

no

foam kinda

[tawdry tree]

unsurprising, but “self-developed” is a lie/bogus claim.

[humble surge]

went ahead and removed all the extras from the link before bookmarking, but interesting find regardless

[little glen]

why cant they just make wooting compatible cases and resell modules in a bundle with the case

😭

[tawdry tree]

not nearly as profitable

[ionic breach]

it fills this hole in the middle

[humble surge]

Might be worth a blind order next month, small science project, might end up being an extra 60% keyboard hehh

[tawdry tree]

[little glen]

i just want a neo cu case that fits wooting

[tawdry tree]

buy venom

[polar girder]

The brass no. The foam of the redux fits better in the redux than the Wooting foam fits in the redux. But it is doable.

[ionic breach]

venom time

[polar girder]

Although I think if you bought module you’re fine

Yeah I love my venom

[little glen]

venom is nice

i think i'll give mine away once i get my hands on split space 60hev2

[ionic breach]

tho im going to go insane waiting for neo ergo cu

[humble surge]

What is venom exactly? i have seen the name thrown around now a few times

But yeah

[humble surge]

ohh Geon's take on a 60HE PCB, much appreciated

[ruby bay]

I bought a case on AliExpress if its bad i will go for redux

[little glen]

what case did you buy

[humble surge]

I'm also interested to see

[ruby bay]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ev7JUKW

[steady halo]

now it's outdated

[ionic breach]

[humble surge]

I'm not concerned with that, i just wanted to know what people were talking about

[frozen briar]

anyone know where i can find keycaps similar to these

[steady halo]

u will hear a lot of atlas now

[ionic breach]

u like a different colour?

[steady halo]

[ionic breach]

similar as in?

[ruby bay]

I want an aluminum case bcs my wooting60he since the first day do not stabilise and when i hit a key he is twerking

[humble surge]

@tawdry tree is it just me, or this thing is also sick?

[ionic breach]

oh its alu?

thats quite cheap for alu

[ruby bay]

Yeah if it is lol

But if the commentary is real that's it

[tawdry tree]

meh, I’m not a fan of sublegends haha

[ionic breach]

like the legends?>

[final moth]

any modding yall reccomend for stock 80he?

[little glen]

🤝

[frozen briar]

the japanese letters and similar color if possible @ionic breach

[humble surge]

I can agree there, but the color and general style? i'm really impressed by those

[little glen]

none of these japanese sublegend fans know a word of japanese

[little glen]

depends what you want to achieve

[ruby bay]

I want buy an arabic legends ainsi cherry keycaps in black or orange but its impossible to find im sad

[steady halo]

@tawdry tree good news

u want to hear it?

[tawdry tree]

freewheeler?

[humble surge]

Btw was there any update on the knobs dials for wooting? i admit i didn't pay much attention since first learning about them about a month ago.

[little glen]

if you want more stable switches, swap those, if you want diff sound swap switches, plate, maybe different foams and if you dont like the look you can change the case @final moth

[ionic breach]

btw kkb cooked with this

[steady halo]

https://tenor.com/view/jj-griddy-gif-26583964

[tawdry tree]

ATLAS international or 60HE v2? which is gonna come first?

bets are open

[ionic breach]

early next year

[steady halo]

i think both at the same time

[humble surge]

okay ty 👍

[ionic breach]

thats all nthing else

[tawdry tree]

that would be insane

[final moth]

I could care less abt sound and stuff unless its ridiculously loud which i dont think from reviews ive seen, mostly concerned with performance aspects and was wondering how big the difference is between lekker 45/60 for gaming responsiveness/feel

[ruby bay]

Thats look like asur and asmar

[steady halo]

either both the same time, or rakka bit late

but venom rgb will be the first

[little glen]

basically no difference between those, just how hard you need to press

[steady halo]

next month (if no issues / late)

[little glen]

if you want to change something, i would start off with switches and experimenting with different foams and maybe poly fill

[tawdry tree]

GMK Nord is similar but I like it a bit better I think. It’s got a bit more character to it

[final moth]

should i get the wrist rest if i got small hands? i feel like it would be helpful but didnt include in my first order w the 80he

[little glen]

there are certain switches that are commonly recommended

[humble surge]

I'll look at that then, thanks :)

[tawdry tree]

freewheeler said more info later this month iirc

25th or so

[steady halo]

ohhh

but international

finally

i will purchase that girl

[final moth]

do lekker tikken switches wobble? is that what it means by stability/precision for helios n raptor?

[steady halo]

the tikken wobble is similar with owlab ti

[little glen]

lekker tikken wobble is good but they are not out yet

[tawdry tree]

if tb release is much earlier, I’ll get it from tb.

[steady halo]

let me know

i want an honest review
