[steady halo]

🙁

[tawdry tree]

[glacial wind]

yeah technically the purple heart are supposed to be the tighter tolerance magnets

vs the old kom rgb

[fallen pecan]

Purple left, ttc x melgeek right

[glacial wind]

but i think none of that matters if chinese testers are just ranking based on the bottom out change because then the goal is just lower the magnetic force at the bottom and it wins due to having less gauss change when you wiggle

[spiral crater]

does anybody know why very few magnetic switches are full travel?

[glacial wind]

i think there just needs to be a better way of measuring stability if everyone is just going to start cheesing the stability tests, much like how they started cheesing latency stuff

[glacial wind]

because it was more expensive to make 4mm initially as it needed different molds

whereas they could make 3.5mm by modifying some things

[spiral crater]

ohhhhhhhhh

[glacial wind]

then everyone copied each other and suddenly everyone is making 3.5mm stuff. Also shorter stem is easier to stabilise i'm pretty sure

(and also easier to win on those flux tests)

you'll notice how all the switches got shorter and shorter travel as they claimed more and more 0.00001 type accuracy stuff

turns out one way to just make your switch 'better' at 0.0000001rt setting is just make the magnet power worse so there's less change when it wiggles

self created problem with self created silly solution

[spiral crater]

cud i quickly ask for u opinion if u dont mind? since u have had tikkens, would u say they are deeper than ice ultras?

[glacial wind]

eh i'd have to put them next to each other to see, i didn't compare them directly to ur ice yet

i don't find either anywhere near actual deep switches so I never actually checked

[spiral crater]

arent the ice ultras /lightnings the 'deepest' of the HE switches? cuz ik for now they will always be clack

[glacial wind]

yeah but that's just people answering because people want to know what's 'deeper'

but we're still comparing non deep switches to other non deep switches

just one is a little deeper than the other, but they're all not deep

[north girder]

i never claimed thaT

[sacred elm]

🤨

[spiral crater]

ahhh yeah, i really do hope one day deep switches do come to he boards

[north girder]

on my case (GT80) there is a diffusor and a silicone piece

[glacial wind]

Tikkens are basically deeper because they’re a bit more muted

But I wouldn’t call tikkens a deep switch either

[north girder]

why dont u just get a big bag put all springs in there and drop some lube
then u blow the bag up and shake away

[glacial wind]

It’s why we say deep clack or whatever

[north girder]

mister Wooting employee is guessing how his company is advertising its products

[spiral crater]

yeah i did notice that, they do sound a lot quieter than the lightnings, i honestly think i coudl make it work with my board tho, i just really hope they come to regional vendors tho. cuz rn im running ice ultras and stuffed it wth foam and polyfill, tape mod and foam switch pads, but with the tikkens i reckon it would be lot less clacky on bottom out

[glacial wind]

It’s hard to explain technical stuff because the audience aren’t that technical

They just want the creamiest switch, whatever that means

[tropic urchin]

Oil kings prob

They heard that ST and fiend for it in HE

[glacial wind]

The funny thing is most sound tests lie too and use dynamic mics close up that sound deeper

[tawdry tree]

C1s are the deepest I’ve tried so far. On par with the discontinued Ice Maxes. You could grab a couple for pretty cheap from Ali to try out if you want to.

and maybe swap the polyfill out for foam instead.

[glacial wind]

Wait what

C1 aren’t deep

[tawdry tree]

They are

More so than Jade Pros

[glacial wind]

they’re quite high pitched, what did you test them vs

or on

[tawdry tree]

Jade Pros, Ice Maxes and Ultras and Phylinas

They’re deeper on both the Slice and my HM (in Woot’s plastic case [also foamed up like the slice]).

[glacial wind]

That’s odd. I’ll pull mine out now and double check but my c1 were not deep

[tawdry tree]

Maybe you tested the Jade Airs

[tawdry tree]

PP plate for the HM and stock alu plate for the slice

[glacial wind]

It’s kind of thin but not deep at all for me

I had this conversation with someone other day when we were both testing c1

[tawdry tree]

C1s are def deep but they might be influenced by the build

more so than other switches

Phylinas weren’t “deep” on the venom

which had no foam at all and an FR4 plate

[tawdry tree]

something with PC, I think

[glacial wind]

For example this is on cf 80he

C1 vs ur ice vs tikken

I like the c1, they’re clean sound and stable, but I don’t know if I’d call them deepest switches

[tropic urchin]

I think the plate is influencing it a bit, if you put em on FR4 I think there would be a bigger difference imo

[glacial wind]

This is just the raw switch for example

The thinner one is the c1

[tawdry tree]

Very interesting that the Tikkens don’t pop much on CF. I think PC is influenced more by the plate than PA is for example. I’ll see when Tikkens release ig.

[tropic urchin]

You can have loud and deep/soft and deep, unless deep removes the sound so it has to be softer to be deep which I wouldn’t necessarily agree with but switch sound terminology is fun 🤓

Everyone gets to be confused

[glacial wind]

Tikkens are just generally more muted is how it gets the deeper sound

[tawdry tree]

With a build to go with it, they are. I don’t think people that’d want deep go with something like CF or FR4 for that matter, but since the 60HE v2 uses FR4, it’s good to test stock.

[tropic urchin]

Or maybe we can bastardize it even more and say the louder deep clacks can be thocky

Retake the word into something more doable

Nobody knows what it means anyway so nobody would know any better hehe

[tawdry tree]

Raeds are the only true thock in my book

[glacial wind]

I dunno every build I put them in the c1s are not the deepest sounding switch

[tropic urchin]

Tecsee are all you need

[tawdry tree]

and Gel Pads as well of course

u right

[glacial wind]

This is on pc now with foam

[tropic urchin]

Can’t wait for flux pp plate and salt lake to achieve true thock

The true Frankenstein creation

[tropic urchin]

It definitely helps separate the 3

[glacial wind]

I don’t know how we ever get c1 are deepest by far, they’re okay and maybe on deeper side but they don’t really sound deep to me on cf, pc nor fr4 plates

[tawdry tree]

your C1s are cursed

or they’re not C1s at all

[tropic urchin]

I think that one is a lot better for trying to get switch nuance

[glacial wind]

The other guy who tried c1s said the same thing so I don’t really know why aligner is only one who hears deep

[tropic urchin]

It’s bc he isn’t using flux

[tawdry tree]

I’m def not the only one

Imoshi

and the other guy who I don’t remember the name of

as well

[tropic urchin]

His hearing isn’t affected yet

[glacial wind]

Imoshi I stopped trusting when he said unionwells were clean sounding

[glacial wind]

I crossed all those guys off the list when they put out unionwell sound tests saying it sounded good

[tropic urchin]

Didn’t realize I sent both gifs but they’re staying up

YOLO

[glacial wind]

I do like c1 and think they’re maybe the best value switch right now though

I have no idea where they’re the deep part comes from though

[tawdry tree]

It’s C1s on par with Ice Maxes, then Ice Ultras on par with Phylinas, and then Jade Pros to me.

[tropic urchin]

Me when jakub said truthear hexas are all you need followed by :POWAGA:

[glacial wind]

Jakubix got crossed off when he said stickyrice sounded better and non chattery

[tropic urchin]

That’s fair

Double crossed off

He did say he had hearing damage so what can you expect

[tawdry tree]

V1s and V2s both don’t sound bad, just the ones you got.

Which are what Lucifers and Deng Gods are

and Deng Gods were memed for a good reason lmao

[glacial wind]

I don’t know which version you’re referring to since everyone has their own versioning it seems

But jakubix liked the deng god version

More than herz

[tawdry tree]

This has to be anti-jakubix propaganda, surely? @tidal frigate confirm pls

I know literally 0 people that spoke good about any of those Hejin ones 😂

[tidal frigate]

Agree sno do not understand everyone has diffrent ear holes

[glacial wind]

aligner is faced with an impossible choice

agree with jakubix and accept the sound of deng gods

[bronze aspen]

my kb, specifically keys i press, sound so much less thocky

i know lube is a factor, but it feels super unfamilliar

[glacial wind]

Than what? Curious what you’re comparing it to

[bronze aspen]

to the same keyboard i use, the 80he, like 2 or 3 weeks ago

[glacial wind]

well that’s just a bit weird if you didn’t change anything

Lube can leak but it shouldn’t leak in 2-3 weeks

[bronze aspen]

Yea, can water damage affect anything with sound?

[glacial wind]

You spilled water on it?

could have damage the foam or it’s not dry (which you should not be using if it’s not dry and clean)

[bronze aspen]

my younger sibling sprayed some air freshner on the keyboard

[random dagger]

i tried bag lubing a couple of switch springs and i can feel the diff

now i gotta do it for all of em 😄

[radiant berry]

anyone got the link for compatible cases for the 60he

[forest badge]

hey ive tried the duhuk herz and ttc elf kings switches and really disliked how rattly the top out sounded on both, is there a switch that does not have this weird quirk?

mechanical switches from my experience do not have this issue

ive tried lubing my switches to reduce this issue

but it still persists after a while even with a crap ton of lube on the top housing where the stem hits it

im looking towards purchasing the ur ice ultras but i fear they also have this issue

[forest badge]

do the ur ice ultras have 22mm springs?

[sacred elm]

17mm

[radiant berry]

Is it compatible with the 60he?

[forest badge]

thxx

i wonder why they are advertised as 22

[sacred elm]

There's a recolor of them with 22mm spring

UR ICE BLUE

[tropic urchin]

🥶

Oh that’s the blue that one guy asked me about

That’s dope ngl

[forest badge]

i saw a review of em and they were 15mm

ts so confusing

[sacred elm]

https://geon.works/products/ur-studio-ice-he-switch

🤷‍♂️

[tropic urchin]

@lyric jasper turns out it’s long spring ur ice for the blue version

[forest badge]

aight

[sacred elm]

@glacial wind These are Ultras right?

[tropic urchin]

Looks like it can only be ultra or blue

With only difference being spring weight/size and if it has glitter

[sacred elm]

Maybe it's previous version, but they're listed together so should be Ultra

[tropic urchin]

Worth a try depending on preference I’d say

[forest badge]

damn i wish they made the ice ultra with the 22mm springs cuz no rgb colouration

i like having white rgb

but its impossible with coloured switches

[sacred elm]

You can get UR Ice Ultras and then spring-swap them with TX long springs https://divinikey.com/products/tx-he-20mm-springs

[forest badge]

im might try that

[glacial wind]

Yeah blue and red ones are just recolored ultras with minor change like spring

[tropic urchin]

Spring change is everything

[glacial wind]

Honestly if you find herz top too chattery then there’s not a ton of options better

You could do raptor v2 I guess but that’s only one with a specifically tighter top

[forest badge]

really that suckss

[glacial wind]

If your goal is a very specific enthusiast grade mx switch sound then you’re not getting that

[sacred elm]

Actually never heard Flux chatter, just saying @tropic urchin

[forest badge]

i wonder what causes thats top out chatter

[glacial wind]

It’s just the tone of he switches it’s not chatter

[tropic urchin]

You can’t say you enjoy flux it’s expensive

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

But that is true

[glacial wind]

Elf kings do have a slightly wobbler top out though, but herz is already up there with the upper grade he switches

[tropic urchin]

The only issue besides price is most people probably find it too loud on most plates

[forest badge]

yeah i noticed that the rattle sound is less on herz

elf kings rattle sound is pretty bad

still there with lube

[glacial wind]

Raptor v2 may be it for you, but they don’t sound very mx like honestly

[forest badge]

makes it sound cheap :((

[glacial wind]

Their sound profile is kind of flat, but they are very stable with the tightest top out

[forest badge]

i dont mind having he sound

[tropic urchin]

Then you have to live with the random spring crunch

[forest badge]

its just the top out rattle that bothers me

[glacial wind]

Then maybe order a small amount of raptor v2 and try them out

[forest badge]

will do thxxx

[glacial wind]

They’re the tightest top housing of any he switches right now

[tropic urchin]

Unless you play OSU, all you need is a similar switch WASD and then rest raptors you’ll never notice it

[robust siren]

did someone say random?

im a man of many chances

[tropic urchin]

The times you get the spring crunch is 100% random

[tidal frigate]

Thats not wooting

[sacred elm]

I think you like straps

[tidal frigate]

When vertical strap

[robust siren]

why gojos fingers bent like that 😭

[forest badge]

quick question: what happens if you own a keyboard that is no a wooting and you so happen to talk about it heh

here

[forest badge]

ooo what black keycaps are those

the fonts really nice

the top keyboard btw

[white robin]

this is wooting 80 and 60he

[forest badge]

yeah but like what if they werent

do u get straight up banned

im new here

[robust siren]

no lmao

[high apex]

the spacebar on my 80he wobbles back and forth and its kinda irritating, do i fix by getting new stabilizers or something else?

[forest badge]

new switch

[white robin]

nothing to do here is a group of modified keyboards I believe you would not be banned because of that🤣

[white robin]

Thx bro

[glacial wind]

A lot of folks here own non wooting keyboards, some haven’t even used their wooting in awhile but hang out here because we have the most active he community

[tidal frigate]

I only seen venom users

[forest badge]

ohhh i see

[tidal frigate]

Didnt see cheap keyboard users here

[glacial wind]

As long as you’re not planning to be irritating and bait flame fights no one really minds if you discuss other keyboard stuff

[uneven cradle]

Yeah some of the biggest yappers in here don't own a Wooting keyboard or use to own one @fluid ravine

[tropic urchin]

Some ppl like to pull the “eerrmm not Wooting”, but modding is open to other keyboards too

[tidal frigate]

For now

[white robin]

I buy my straps as keychains and then I modify them so no one would have one like it on their keyboard

[forest badge]

ahh that explain it

[glacial wind]

Yeah thockson is a good example of someone who keeps it normal while discussing modding stuff. We’ve only really banned people who instigate flame wars repetitively with keyboard war nonsense

[tropic urchin]

We also take pity on those with issues. As you can see with takmons example. Hurt people hurt people.

[high apex]

how do i calibrate the keyboard after switching a switch?

[sacred elm]

Keyboard auto calibrates

You don't have to do anything.

[forest badge]

how do people lube the duhuks

i tried it and they end up overlubed

[tropic urchin]

I’d assume same as any other switch

[robust siren]

razer isnt bloatware!

🗣️

[forest badge]

but i dont get the same issue with elf kings or other magnetic switches

[tropic urchin]

If you do stem, top housing and lower housing + spring it’s easy to go overboard

It’s a fine art

Takes time to master

[forest badge]

is it bc they are tighter?

[tropic urchin]

If you overdo it just wipe off the magnet if it gets gunky

You can over lube any switch, the more parts you use a lot of lube with, the higher the likelihood you’ll have issues

That’s why I’d recommend to go stem, the lower housing stem rails, and probably bag lube spring

If you go over that then you run risk of having it happen

[forest badge]

ohh okayy so no need for top housing

[trail bane]

Replug

[uneven cradle]

If you're pulling switches I'd hope you unplugged before doing so anyway

[forest badge]

shit

[robust siren]

pulling out the keyboards organs while its still awake

no eepy time

[forest badge]

but like they are magnetic soooo

i dont see how they would damage the board

unless im wrong

[sacred elm]

You won't damage the keyboard, but the calibration will be messed up.

Until you replug it.

[forest badge]

ohhhh

probably wont fit

i dont got time to put them in till tomorrow evening

with sound tests and all

[tropic urchin]

I’am tecunicly not sure abt that

[robust siren]

ive had the rgb diffuser pop out a few times on geons when pulling them so i dont think itll hurt to try

plus i have 70pc of each so if it gets stuck then

id email support, they dont sell their PCBs separately iirc

[obtuse brook]

I’m lowkey new here, idk the terms but what I know is like the board where u put things hen the switches and then the keycaps

[gray vapor]

I know but all the people who had one for review seemed to imply it was included

C’est la vie

[tropic urchin]

yeah so you usually have the case, the PCB (main component of the keyboard), you have your switch plate foam and then the actual switch plate itself and your switches on top of that

I guess the PCB cost is the module - whatever case you apply to it is (if you buy module plastic case should be pretty cheap)

[polar girder]

Ah. Weird. Shame on them then

[gray vapor]

Maybe I was just being hopeful haha. Oh well. Ordered the switches

[robust siren]

you can get the module which includes the pcb, plate, plate foam and stabilizers

but for just the pcb, i dont think wooting does that

[high apex]

is there somewhere i can get raptor v2's without having to pay 100% shipping costs

[polar girder]

Shipping where

USA:

https://divinikey.com/products/geon-raptor-he-switches?_pos=1&_psq=Raptor+v2&_ss=e&_v=1.0

That’s all I know

[high apex]

oh yeah, east coast us

[robust siren]

@sacred elm heres my really really quick sound check on PC (MMD C1s left, Geon Raws Right)
ive swapped back to raws for now as i dont have enough time to change out an entire keyboard
(not sure if wooting can support 2 different switches on)

both are factory lubed and j isnt used a lot so

PC plate with friction fit + tofu foam

[queen otter]

is that PBTfans crosshair

[robust siren]

[queen otter]

sec

[robust siren]

esc key too red

[queen otter]

waiting on my 60HE v2 split spacebar

crosshair is such a beautiful set

[robust siren]

dunno if you saw this post but i think i wanna eventually get something like this too, complete opposite of the current build (in terms of color)

[queen otter]

60HE v2 or 80HE?

[robust siren]

since i already have 60, i think id go 80

but if i do go 60 id have like enough extra shit to make a 2nd keyboard just having the pcb

[steel ibex]

Yo how do I get my like board out of my case with the friction fit pad

[glacial wind]

take off a keycap or two and grab it out

[steel ibex]

Like by the switches?

[glacial wind]

switch/keycap etc you just need to grab one side and it should come out

[steel ibex]

It’s uh not working

[glacial wind]

we're shipping a tool with the v2 that grabs onto the pcb itself as well, but yeah I've always just taken off a keycap and just grabbed it out that way

[steel ibex]

The keycap is coming off

I can’t grab onto the switch either cuz like it’s oily or lubed idk

[glacial wind]

Do you have a switch puller or similar? You can just grab a switch out then use it to grab onto an open slot

[steel ibex]

I don’t have one currently

[glacial wind]

You can take out a couple switches normally and grab it out with hands too normally

[robust siren]

i just grab it by the spacebar cutout on the plate

[tulip rapids]

use your teeth

https://tenor.com/view/bubbles-bite-powerpuff-girls-teeth-fur-gif-13663050607590860137

[robust siren]

actually speaking of which

i need to make sure i can take mine out tomorrow lmao

[steel ibex]

Also how tightly do I have to screw the grounding switch

Just a lil bit or all the war

[robust siren]

i do it till the port lines up

[steel ibex]

Lines up without being zxrwqed

Woah spelling

Screwed

Yes there’s paint chip on my case

[glacial wind]

that's fairly typical for all cases

people shove the usb into the back by feel and scrap it with the usb metal

[steel ibex]

Ye I’ve never bothered because I know it’s gonna chip off at some point before I sell it so

[glacial wind]

honestly i wouldn't be surprised if most people don't bother grounding

[steel ibex]

Ok but I bothered so how far should I screw it in

[robust siren]

just confirmed i can pull it out so we good

[glacial wind]

it's up to you, it just has to make contact with the metal if you want to do it

[steel ibex]

Only with the metal case?

So I can just make it barely touch and we’re chilling

[glacial wind]

yeah all the screw is doing is grounding the case

[steel ibex]

But if I do it tightly is that also fine or will like uneven pressure on the board fuck it or smth

[glacial wind]

it won't break your keyboard or anything but it might be slanted or feel odd if you do it tightly

[robust siren]

my tofu port is fine, in fact the cablemod pro usbc is chipping first

[steel ibex]

inmovable object vs unstoppable force ah

[open sapphire]

is sw knight v3 stab often out of stock?

[thorn zealot]

v4 is the newest edition

so v3 is prob out for good

or atleast stop production

[open sapphire]

oh didnt know that

should be okay for now to get two sets of v3 from their taobao store

[thorn zealot]

yeah any version of the knight stabs are good

atleast for me

ik some ppl had issues with the v3 with the wires comin off when pullin off keycaps

[robust siren]

my right shift dislodges itself if i press one side too hard

but who uses right shift anyways

[thorn zealot]

^^^

[robust siren]

v3 clears with gold wires and the transparent housing of mmd c1s 👀

ngl taking off a few keycaps, it needs a clean

[cedar gate]

Our keyboards are nearly identical

Tofu60 redux case PBTfans crosshair geon raws and a black PC plate

[robust siren]

ima do more experiments with the c1s tomorrow afternoon

https://tenor.com/view/muhehe-cat-muhehe-muhehehe-cat-muhehehe-smirk-cat-muhehe-gif-17142133339517585968

[open sapphire]

i think geon stem spacer can help

[cedar gate]

Oh and also if you run RGB try inferno at 83% base with AOE effect to 100% it works amazing with the keycaps

[robust siren]

oh i always have it on this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/984799440072220692/1415871488468193341/IMG_7149.jpg?ex=68c4c894&is=68c37714&hm=aaa1adecf24925a2fc0fc8394954119ef4dc566c1343f83738ec5f320100efb2&

will try tomorrow

should be even better since c1s are all clear

[cedar gate]

The contrast on that is actually really nice

Is the mouse a zowie or DA?

[robust siren]

hitscan hyperlight

its like the pulsar crazylight but the front slope isnt as aggressive and i think 1mm wider

(iirc)

[cedar gate]

Oh I've heard good things about the hitscan

I have a bigger hand so I'm running the viper v3 pro rn

[robust siren]

ah icic, i was gonna get the vv3p but…. razer and i wanted to try a small mice

[cedar gate]

Yeah synapse can often suck but I don't think I've had many problems with the viper on synapse (I own the 8khz and the v3 pro) it's definitely a big mouse tho and I don't think someone with smaller hands could comfortably claw grip it

[robust siren]

well i did main the gpx before for a couple of years

[fluid ravine]

hitscan :0

what mousepad is that

[fluid ravine]

luv my x2 CL

[sacred elm]

Best shape for me

[fluid ravine]

im trying to learn how to ftip with it

[robust siren]

padsmith empress v2

[sacred elm]

Have 0 control with ftip, I can only claw

[fluid ravine]

am able to claw grip just fine despite it being a bit smol but i find my ftip to be more bebber in tracking than with claw

[robust siren]

oh wait i thought i was talking to you earlier

[fluid ravine]

HAHAHAH

[sacred elm]

[fluid ravine]

My froggy mogs you

[steel ibex]

i couldnt use crazylight because i could only fingertip it and my hand defaults to claw and i couldnt make myself use fingertip without just muscle memory back to claw

[fallen pecan]

Oh wait my bad it’s 10pcs

Ali is slightly cheaper actually

[north girder]

what are good options for stabelizers lube
i got some knight stabelizers

v2

[glacial wind]

you only use 205g0 in those

new gen stuff doesn't use any thicker lubes

[north girder]

does it matter which brand i get?

[fluid ravine]

205g0 is just 205g0
just make sure you get it from a trusted vendor in your region

[north girder]

@glacial wind doe your sparks sound similar

[north girder]

go to sleep son

[fluid ravine]

im doing work

[north girder]

gooning aint work

[fluid ravine]

alr bru

|| ||

[north girder]

@fluid ravine u got a oppinion on my keyboard sound?

[fluid ravine]

what did you use to record

[north girder]

literally my phone mic on a phone stand

[fluid ravine]

oh 😭

dont got an actual mic?

[north girder]

only a antlion modmic usb

[glacial wind]

It’s hard to compare switches with different mods and different recordings

[fluid ravine]

sno's sound comparison thingy

[glacial wind]

like I have lekker v1 recordings that sound super thocky because they were recorded on a phone mic close up

[north girder]

lol ok so next time i go into a recording studio ?

[fluid ravine]

that's what im saying

[glacial wind]

No not saying that, but it means we can’t compare 2 different recordings

Like if you show me one recording of one switch I have no idea what switch it is because it’s dependent on that particular setup and recording mic

[fluid ravine]

different board, different configurations, different mic, environment, etc

[north girder]

ok ill establish sone dins for switch sound recording

[glacial wind]

basically the rule is you basically can never show someone 1 recording of something and compare it to a totally different recording because just the distance to the mic for example will change the sound, much less everything else that's different

[fluid ravine]

Example

same build different mics

[fluid ravine]

Phone mic (Samsung S21+)

[north girder]

both still clacky imo

[fluid ravine]

Podmic with Vocaster One, no eq presets

[fluid ravine]

yeah because the board is clacky

[north girder]

do u like that sound ?

[fluid ravine]

yes

i prefer clack on all of my boards

esp with MX

Like for all i can say, the major difference in mic quality comparing the two is that phone mic takes in a lot of white noises making the board sound more brighter over all within the bottom out. Podmic recording through interface and pc is more suppressed especially how im using a dynamic mic which has one focus point.

[north girder]

back to my recording hows that sound called

[fluid ravine]

I can't say much but all I do know is that it's clacky ig

HE switches be clacky

The way i compare how HE sounds is depending on pitch, chatter, bottom out and top out strokes (how sharp, deep, high, low, etc.)

[north girder]

ill try to see if my headset mic gets a clearer recording once im off mic

[fluid ravine]

I prefer emphasizing on keyboard sounds rather than saying ah this board sounds clacky or it's thocky, and then by chance "thocky" can just straight up be deep clack to some or most people

you will tend to see the word chatter a lot cus that was a major issue in sound coming from HE switches since day 1

[north girder]

i mean its a quiet good mic for its form factor but its a cardiod
i can switch it to open aswell its dual mode

[fluid ravine]

cardiod/condensor mics are better for recording sound tests rather than dynamic i can tell you that

esp with how like it requires less gain and it takes sound from more than one angle from the mic and all that

even shotgun mics are good

[north girder]

i thought of getting a shotgun mic and putting it above my monitor so i can have a hands free mic for discord but i read its not that good for that case u got any oppinion on that

btw a carbon fiber plate with stiffen up my 80 he right ?
i got a problem where my left side keys are kinda bending down alot

[fluid ravine]

shotgun mic literally captures like EVERYTHING btw

[north girder]

evenif i aim it over my keyboard ?

[fluid ravine]

like it captures specific sounds at a certain distance depending on where you point it

it aint a good mic to get close to

[north girder]

like straight at my face or slightly above to avoid sounds from my desk

[north girder]

yeah i thought of havi but I it atleast 1 meter away from my face (1 yard)

[fluid ravine]

put this into consideration

when using it as a mic

as a "hands free" mic for discord where you talk to your friends and what not

do you want them to hear like white/wind noises or even room noises?

hmm i should do more study in more mic types now i think about it

[north girder]

discord noise suppression exists

[fluid ravine]

ew

hate that shi i aint gonna lie LMAO

personally personally

[fluid ravine]

wait i got a question, why not get a dynamic or condensor?

[north girder]

because i dont want a stupid as mic arm in my face

and i thought about a shotgun mic so i can use my iems wirelessly with my uwts 2025
they got a gaming mod wich is quite low latency

[neon nexus]

any recommendations for things to cover the pcb mounting holes with, they kind of annoy me

[glacial wind]

Updated the stickied switch recommendation list, now has link to our official switch database and also more beginner friendly sound notes vs. technical specs

[random dagger]

When lekker tikken

[glacial wind]

'soon'

[random dagger]

Soon ™ ??

[glacial wind]

indeed

[glossy pagoda]

Some time between now and the heat death of the universe

[random dagger]

[little glen]

Oh thats ok

I was expecting more something like between the fall of the roman empire and the heat death of the universe

[random dagger]

In the mean time I'll bag lube the raptor springs until the tikkens come out

[little glen]

Good to know that the range has been adjusted to be more accurate

[north girder]

ok so my custom cf 80he plate just arrived in Frankfurt and canadian post tells me it will take 11 days to arrive

a person would need to walk 24 hours to get to me lol

my parcel gets deliverd by ants i guess

[stark osprey]

That Thunderflash looks seemingly awesome, Im just not ready to give up S-tier top wobble. Aesthetically most pleasing for me too. Did you have a sound test video for it?

[glacial wind]

sound test videos for most of these will be next week, i'm waiting for the outemu peach to arrive to record some of these together

[stark osprey]

Awesome thank you, will be on the lookout for it!

[north girder]

so u wouldn't recommend sparks?

[glacial wind]

well i can't until we add the calibration for it. I love them as the stable pick over polar pro, but until we have the switch selection updated for it then it's going to have issues if anyone sets 4mm bottom out for example

[little glen]

Sno are you gonna try that new hmx switch with fiberglass bottom

I need to hear it

[glacial wind]

yeah, i haven't seen them actually for sale yet though

they're just listed but out of stock

[little glen]

Also how comprehensive will the sound tests be

Just recommended switches + what woot sells themselves?

Or also a bunch of other stuff

[glacial wind]

i'll keep adding more as we go, but basically will start with recommended/popular switches first then work my way out

also depends on how quick some companies send them out to me. I have all the recent gateron and ttc ones for example so I'm able to soundtest them all

ideally i'd like to end up with having soundtests for everything that is 'sane' to be tested (so no point sound testing a switch 20 times with 20 different colors/variations for examples)

[little glen]

Need that duhuk sound test in the db

And then rawhuk+duhukkens frankenswitch too

[glacial wind]

frankenswitch probably won't be tested as a standalone unless i do content related to that somewhere

[trail bane]

Another masterpiece by sno|jed

[prime orbit]

Raptors make a crunch sound sometimes?

[peak breach]

🤷‍♂️

For some people

[glacial wind]

yeah, but not everyone experiences it nor can it be replicated easily

[prime orbit]

I was gonna say

Mine didn’t

I hope

[peak breach]

Psyop

[prime orbit]

😭

[glacial wind]

it seems to have something to do with very repetitive, fast repeat presses because mostly people who play osu reported it

i haven't been able to repeat it

[prime orbit]

Ah

[peak breach]

Mine dont either and i’ve been using them nonstop since i got em

[prime orbit]

Good thing I don’t play osu

I need v2 man 😭😭

[sacred elm]

Not only sound

If its crunching, you can feel it too

[prime orbit]

That’s

Concerning

😭

[sacred elm]

Because spring is rubbing against the bottom housing

[tropic urchin]

It’s not consistent when it happens or if it does. For me it took a couple days for it to happen to my W/S keys

[tropic urchin]

That’ll help a decent bit

[prime orbit]

I was waiting for tikken anyway

So peak

[tropic urchin]

Worst case if you get another switch with a similar feel for WASD you should never feel it

[prime orbit]

Fair

I got rid of my Wooting recently and was planning on maybe getting raptor v2 again for the 60he v2 but I’ll just try tikken

[glacial wind]

Is that a recolored jade ruby?

Specs seem to look so

[fallen pecan]

looks like it, not even out in china

[little glen]

its maxgaming approved

so it has to be good

[tropic urchin]

Jade sapphire 😭

[oak jewel]

has anyone tried a bottom white zinc case with top frost pcr case? if so, any pics?

considering xray keycaps, xray cable with that case combo

[tropic urchin]

I’ve only seen one other person ask about this specific combo but I think maybe the plastic clips would end up not making it

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[oak jewel]

@sacred elm found something

[tropic urchin]

Ooo

@misty sapphire

Looks better than I expected it would tbh

[oak jewel]

sprinkle some xray keycaps and thats pretty hot ngl

[sacred elm]

Time to get frost case

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-no-way-gif-24547692

Replace your chipped zinc top

[tropic urchin]

I don’t like top blastic

Or bottom for that matter

[misty sapphire]

I like this

[tropic urchin]

I’d sooner you my zinc for your 80HE moonlight

[tropic urchin]

Turned out better than I expected ngl

[misty sapphire]

I think they would match my keycaps

I got semi transparent keycaps with clear tops

[tropic urchin]

Do it do it

[misty sapphire]

Non-dual rail Jade Airs 🔥

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin

gonna start swapping and doing recordings at like 2
currently 10am

[north girder]

i actually reinstalled my jade sparks yesterday
raptor v2s were nice but they felt so goddamn boring

i compared all my switches back to back
and tikkens are definitely nice but not as satisfying as my jade sparks

i feel like all i gotta do now is make their springs heavier

btw whats the spring strength of tikkens again ? 45 - 62grms?

[glacial wind]

for tikkens i need a plate that makes them a bit louder/brighter personally. I'm not a fan of muted even though i know a lot of folks like it

tikkens are 55g bottom out last i heard

[slender frost]

So with that pictogram thing on the back of the pcb is the tape mod even worth it?

[glacial wind]

Up to you, but personally I wouldn’t worry about tape modding more

it’s not even a mod that even necessarily makes a switch sound better, it can make some switches sound worse

[slender frost]

This my first true gaming keyboard of this caliber and never really gave keyboards much thought untill a couple years ago. So this is all new to me. But it seems like they took care of that "mod" for us.

[robust siren]

more improvements on the 60he v2

[sacred elm]

Yeah, it's not worth. Sound difference is like 10% or so

[reef oar]

you need jade pros to level up your build

[robust siren]

imo the only thing id probably do to the v2 prebuilt are keycaps, maybe switches or case to match taste

[robust siren]

nah sus bag of switches all you need

[reef oar]

[robust siren]

this came inside like a 4x5 inch cardboard box

[slender frost]

Lol that thing is to dam small. I am still sore the Two He has not been updated.My Corsair forced my hand and after a decade some of the switches are acting up.

[reef oar]

i used to be a full size enjoyer but swapping to 60% changed my life

[robust siren]

id suspect a refresh for the full size should be next but

[reef oar]

the fn key is a glorious creation

[robust siren]

wooting 200he

[reef oar]

tkl would just be adding useless keys i'll never press atp

the ONLY issue i have with my 60he is that it's kinda hard to distinguish my arrow keys so i'll accidentally press down if i were supposed to press right for example

like it's been 2 years and i still accidentally do that

[robust siren]

id miss the fn key lol

[slender frost]

what about lubing switches? I got the Geon RAW switches. I am thinking of just assembling it and seeing how it sounds.

[tropic urchin]

It’s not September 2024 anymore

If anything stem wobble is deleveling

[reef oar]

that's just propaganda

[tropic urchin]

Propaganda maybe

But it’s still true

[reef oar]

i heard raws have fine factory lube, i wouldn't worry about it

wobble is aura

it's character

[tropic urchin]

I tried once and it did nothing to how it sounded stock, so I wouldn’t bother personally. Stock is good

[slender frost]

I am sure it will be beter than my Corsair.

[reef oar]

100%

[trail bane]

Definitely huge jump

[robust siren]

guys i have very sad news to sharw today 😔

the switch puller that came with the 60he broke

💔

[tropic urchin]

Now get the Wuque studio titanium puller and live a life worth living

[sacred elm]

I got you https://divinikey.com/products/tx-switch-puller?variant=40208825876545

no 1 to 1 comparison sound tests today

i got one of the raws on fr4 from a few months ago tho

[tropic urchin]

Sad day they’re all out of stock

[robust siren]

im still able to pull switches

but i think im destroying them lol

[tropic urchin]

Nah bro

[robust siren]

i see white specs of plastic over my deskpad

[tropic urchin]

Get the TX or WS one if you can

Don’t accept anything less than perfection

[sacred elm]

That's a feature of Raws

[robust siren]

im putting the mmd c1s on the fr4 plate regardless

actually

i can probably just sacrifice 1 switch and thats the decider

shh

Nice Jade maxes

Those colors look great tho

[robust siren]

bro

holy moly

wait this is fucking incredable

i think the switches are also like 10g heavier than the raws i had so its lowk weird

[tropic urchin]

Just get 42.5g geon pingless springs

Will still be heavier but you’ll be closer to your 40g RAWs

[robust siren]

bro my backspace THOCKS

its unreal

@tropic urchin @sacred elm
1st: mmd c1
2nd: geon raws

@tulip rapids @fluid ravine ^ (sorry wrong goku ping )

only 2 mention limit

made me go back and find the geon raw video a second time

[robust siren]

this looks fucking amazing on the new switches

[chilly mural]

C1 sounds like a bunch of dice being shaken, and RAW sounds like screw being shaken.

[robust siren]

both recorded with the 15 pro max

[obtuse brook]

Anyone know how to pull switches without any tools

[obtuse brook]

What is that typing form

[robust siren]

i only use my pointer from my right hand

and only very rarely my middle finger

im p sure i tried learning to type with all on my right hand but i kinda lost that over the summer cause i did a lot of hands-on work and rarely had time to actually spend typing

[marsh saffron]

Take the switch plate off and pop the switches out from behind

[robust siren]

this was lowk kinda hard if its a pc plate cause itll just flex instead of popping the switches out

[trail bane]

[robust siren]

with my puller broken, i could only squeezse the top side of the clip and had to push out from the bottom

🥀

[slender frost]

So the wwhite foam on top of the 80 he does that come off if you are taking switches out?

[tropic urchin]

The silicone gasket is underneath the switch plate so unless you take out the switch plate to swap your switches, it’ll stay underneath the switch plate while you remove your switches

[obtuse brook]

XD SAME I use 3 fingers total

[obtuse brook]

Alr just like a screwdriver some like that

[robust siren]

use like a small flathead

[obtuse brook]

@robust siren what’s ur wpm?

[obtuse brook]

Could it damage it?

[robust siren]

use light force and push it out from behind at the same time

it should pop them out just fine

[robust siren]

it varies xd

[obtuse brook]

I could 100 wpm with like 96%

[robust siren]

i just got these new switches and theyre 10g heavier than my old one so im adjusting

[obtuse brook]

10???

[robust siren]

my geon raws were 40g and i think these are either 50 or 55

[marsh saffron]

My typing speed has gone down

I can do like 110 with 100%

[robust siren]

but in this test (first vid) i was doing 120 wpm

[obtuse brook]

yeah

[robust siren]

but its only a 15 second burst

[obtuse brook]

Yeah

[brittle bough]

Hey guys, i was about to purchase a plate from hypekeyboard and this custom plate cause close to 100$ just want to make sure if this is accurate?
Also if anyone have an extra CF or Alu plate for the Frog Mini HE compatible

[tropic urchin]

It’s $30 to cut and material is added on so for CF it’s $25 added on top

Alu and CF is more expensive than say PP (polypropylene) plate would be which would be like half that

[brittle bough]

much appreciate, im assuming shipping is like this post Trump?

[tropic urchin]

Lemme see what I paid for mine but there’s been some recent added stuff since I bought mine (before Aug 29th date). But you can join his discord and ask him anything he’s a cool guy

[tropic urchin]

Mine was $25

[robust siren]

should i have gotten cf instead of fr4 a while back

[brittle bough]

Much appreciate this!

[tropic urchin]

Nah FR4 is fine

[brittle bough]

I have the POM from @stray tiger , what do you guys think would be a different or worth buy?

[robust siren]

but-

[brittle bough]

CF, alu or Fr4?

[stray tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/unicorn-adri-summon-summoned-i-have-been-summoned-gif-22384832

[tropic urchin]

Aluminum and FR4 is similar but has some differences (alu is more metallic), CF is stiffest and has a different vibe to it. IMO FR4 and CF would be good to pair

[stray tiger]

Al-lu-min-e-um, CF or FR4 are all great alternatives but to provide the biggest difference go CF or Aluminum

[brittle bough]

Thats where i was leaning on in Cf or FR4

[robust siren]

theres something really off about my backspace i cant quite figure out after putting in the mmd c1s lol

[brittle bough]

much appreciate this guy. @stray tiger i used the Keysnap, and omfg that shit was hard to use.

hence im like im just going to buy an extra plate

[tropic urchin]

Are you getting it for venom by any chance

[brittle bough]

used it for the Wooting

[tropic urchin]

Ah

[robust siren]

for some reason in general, i feel like the 50g c1s are slower at springing back up than 40g raws and im not sure why it feels this way

[stray tiger]

[tropic urchin]

Was going to say if it was venom my answer would change in favor of alu, but you can’t go wrong with either of the 3

Now if tom had a silver alu plate id be ordering that too

[brittle bough]

@tropic urchin @stray tiger do i put Grooves:Yes for the frog mini?

[robust siren]

https://divinikey.com/products/tx-multi-tool-5-in-1

[stray tiger]

Grooves?

[brittle bough]

yeah in the question it asked if it the Frog Mini has Grooves for gummy

[stray tiger]

Frog Mini isnt a gummy o-ring board so if youre talking plates I would say no unless the site says otherwise

[tropic urchin]

That I dunno

W thockfather

[peak breach]

Gateron is a big gen 3 fan confirmed

[lyric nimbus]

i can read the "deep thock"

[warm gate]

any keycap suggestions i dont want to get some cheep ones off amazon but i also dont want to spend 200 on a set

[cedar gate]

FR4 is nice see if you like that on sound test

[tropic urchin]

Look at what KBDfans has in stock

Pbtfans salt lake for instance is just $68 for its base set if you like colors

They have good offerings if you don’t wanna pay GMK tax

[robust siren]

xrays are still in stock

i dont wanna drop another 85 on keycaps

[tropic urchin]

X-rays too ig depending on if he wants that aesthetic

[robust siren]

[tropic urchin]

Me buying lazurite last year and going in on GMK Selene next year

[robust siren]

[tropic urchin]

I’m a stylish whale thank you very much

I don’t golf or ski/snowboard so those are 2/3 very expensive hobbies I don’t have so money can go wherever hehe

[robust siren]

[tropic urchin]

Salt lake is on sale next week and I’ll be getting mine 1-2 weeks after that so I’ll have a new set to daily yay

[glacial wind]

Lol the dbokey overview of his tools had tx multi puller

He just said it’s not very good and moved on

He likes just his separate tools more since the switch opener gets stuck on some switches

I can understand though since it’s a really great keycap puller but really mediocre at everything else

[prime orbit]

No news on 60he v2 yet?

[calm pulsar]

@glacial wind do you think they can just install a whole sony camera into the phone at this point

[thorn zealot]

I’m waitin for jerry to hopefully snap this thing in half

[calm pulsar]

what's going to snap in half is my controller because this platforming sequence in silksong is fucking crazy right now

[stray tiger]

Good mail day for me (not my pics but are my caps). Keeblife was this past weekend and one of my favorite artisan makers was there so was able to snag these (well one I had already won in a raffle).

[thorn zealot]

Or have u already beaten the game

[calm pulsar]

[thorn zealot]
