[warped marsh]

Ah only one is available locally

Gg

What makes it better than the other 2 I mentioned tho

I heard it has a bit more wobble

And is louder

[kind helm]

louder but cleaner sound, raw has a leaky sound that is kinda speical but not everyone likes.

[robust siren]

geon raws has a sticky top feeling on some switches
raptor v2s has a spring crunch issue

[kind helm]

raptor v2 has design issue

[warped marsh]

Raptor v1s were goated how could they mess up the new ones ):

[kind helm]

idk, i guess even geon my goat messes up sometimes

[robust siren]

red rgb is mmd c1, purple are raws

[kind helm]

what case is that

[robust siren]

tofu60 redux

pc plate

[warped marsh]

I mean sound doesn't matter tbh as long as it feels better to play rhythm games on

And it's like smooth with no insane rattle

Like the lekkers

[kind helm]

heavier spring shouldn't matter honestly unless you feel that its tiring, performance wise its cool

[robust siren]

pc vs fr4

[warped marsh]

^ tell me this isn't some prank the switch can sound like this

[calm pulsar]

hmm these sound quite nice

[glacial wind]

why do your geons sound so scuffed though

[robust siren]

[glacial wind]

maybe phone is doing something funky there

[robust siren]

lemme get the soundtest from a few months ago

this one should be better(?)

[warped marsh]

Wat keycaps

[robust siren]

pbtfan crosshairs

[warped marsh]

I'm still deciding which keycaps for my 80he there's way too many options

I also wish there was a tofu redux case for the 80

There's some other one but it has some ugly gold strip on it

[robust siren]

the gt80?

[warped marsh]

Yeah

And the gold thing on the side

[robust siren]

im pretty sure you can take that off

yeah you can

its just screwed into the case

[warped marsh]

Ah gg maybe it's worth then

[robust siren]

also its not like youre looking at the bottom of the keyboard

for that gold/brass strip

[warped marsh]

True I just didn't know u could take the side bit off

[robust siren]

#1364665125621071922 message

[warped marsh]

#unknown

[robust siren]

uhh actually that might just be hidden from the angle of the picture

[warped marsh]

No like the thing doesn't show

[robust siren]

but since you can change the color of it (buying different ones and swapping it) im gonna assume its able to be taken off

[robust siren]

just click it

or add #1070668460905988106

[warped marsh]

Just had to restart discord and it showed

He got the raws too fr

[robust siren]

i had em

[warped marsh]

It sucks most EU resellers don't wanna ship to UK anymore tho

Like bruh I just wanna try 3 raptor switches in my keypad

Is it that much of an ask

[warped marsh]

How many different switches have u tried

[robust siren]

i only use lekkers for a week and then raws for a year till this week i swapped to mmd c1s

holy shit it’s already been a year since then wtf

[warped marsh]

How big of a jump was it going to RAWS from the lekkers

[robust siren]

uhhhhhh i don’t really remember much from the lekkers tbh, they were ok but not bad/not great

[polar girder]

Exciting times

[robust siren]

very fun

crazy how much faster im assembling and disassembling the wooting now down to the pcb

i think first time i ever did it, it took like 3 hours and now i can do this in 30 minutes

[glacial wind]

rumors sites saying camera announcement soon for sony @uneven cradle

might finally be a7v time

[uneven cradle]

I hope they are cookin

[glacial wind]

get my flux tomorrow according to dhl @sacred elm

[sweet dock]

I just got Haimu Dove HE switches. They are very silent. Trying to do a comparison tomorrow, compared to Lekker V2 L60 (Wooting 80HE with zinc alloy case). They are even more silent then Logitech MX Keys S keyboard. I am very satisfied

[glacial wind]

Identical dampening to mathew.

It’s dampened but using plastic zig zag bouncy thing on stems

[fringe quarry]

gotta open one up

[tropic urchin]

If you don’t like them make sure to send me 20 to complete my set

[robust siren]

send me the rest

[trail bane]

Sign for the waiting list

[tropic urchin]

As the high bishop of the flux church, what have you suffered to gain entry @robust siren

[robust siren]

existing

am i allowed in now

[sacred elm]

Feel free to join Flux church

[robust siren]

my continued existence shows my dedication and endurance through this suffering

https://tenor.com/view/timmy-no-candy-gif-5909516713687615776

[tropic urchin]

You have to say “lowlabs, lowlabs” and do a twirl for official entry

And throw some salt over your shoulder to ward off Gateron

[robust siren]

lowlabs, lowlabs!

[glacial wind]

flux needs a good name if you want to start a church

can't be going around calling yourself the flu flu church

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/erm-what-the-sigma-gif-9316257842858237450

[sacred elm]

Church was always there

Sadly only two people

[robust siren]

peasant mobile user

[glacial wind]

that's what poor church naming does

the name is the most important part

[tropic urchin]

I have to go to the dentist on my week off, buzz off 🥀

[tropic urchin]

No its what happens when you leave it off your recommended list /s

[robust siren]

skill issue

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/king-of-the-hill-dale-gribble-pocket-sand-pocket-sand-gif-3699662

[glacial wind]

i tried to think of some flux names but they all sound bad

the fluxy church

[tropic urchin]

It should be the flex church

[robust siren]

https://tenor.com/view/salty-salty-meter-rd-btc-no-coiner-gif-20821028

[tropic urchin]

But with prices coming down the flex is less so

[glacial wind]

oh i know

the flux fam

see you should have gone with the flux fam

[tropic urchin]

Sno all in on Gen Z flux church huh

[glacial wind]

i'm helping write the script for the 60he v2 launch video, this is all part of my market research

[tropic urchin]

Negging to gain church entry bold strategy hehe

[tidal frigate]

I hope so i will have easteregg there

[sacred elm]

No you won't

[glacial wind]

how did takmon get an image of the flux magnetic range test though

[tidal frigate]

[sacred elm]

Surely deep clackies have perfect magnets

[tidal frigate]

Wait

You are helping writing script?

Wait..

[languid kestrel]

ahem it's called compliant mechanism

[tidal frigate]

Launch video will be like in next month

[tropic urchin]

They will having perfecting megnet

[chilly mural]

ooo, release date sooon

[tidal frigate]

Well predicting wooting is quite easy

Recording video for calder is like two days max

[glacial wind]

lol writing script means nothing, we have scripts for videos from 3 months ago that aren't public

[trail bane]

POMs VS Duhuks flashbacks

[tropic urchin]

Ah yes the duhuk 2 week hype

[glacial wind]

it's still funny how fast the duhuk hype came and went

[trail bane]

And "duhuks better" guy

[tropic urchin]

The main duhuk user gets banned and nobody talks about it until frankenswitching it with raw stem happened

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

Cuz it was all an MJ psyop

[glacial wind]

literally just random pushed by small group of people for 1-2 weeks then everyone hated the top out and no one outside of that group bought em

[austere creek]

michael jackson?

[tropic urchin]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[chilly mural]

man I aim so much better with raiden than my slow as shit glass pad

[calm pulsar]

mj my man... I miss him

[tropic urchin]

true

the rage bait was good content

[humble surge]

Vare do you have Flux yourself btw?

[chilly mural]

Fluxing

[chilly mural]

I remember the day, '60hz is all you need'

[trail bane]

[calm pulsar]

go flux yourself (buy fluxes)

[chilly mural]

nah, I let you guys do the qc test in the meantime

[trail bane]

I last talked to him back then, I won’t attach screenshots since it’s just criticism and aggressive hot takes

[calm pulsar]

yeah that's how he was on wooting discord too

then at some point sno talked to him and persuaded him to be an uwu version of himself

but that didnt last long

[trail bane]

Also how he got banned

[calm pulsar]

iirc he just left

[trail bane]

Very, very unpleasant words and actions

1 Week without gmk

[sacred elm]

No, he got banned

[trail bane]

≈$30 shipping btw

[tropic urchin]

you should add window shopper as your title

[chilly mural]

Good idea, i put it on later

[calm pulsar]

added to wishlist of ideas

[humble surge]

@tropic urchin Sir Clippy?

[sacred elm]

Yes

He has regular Fluxes rn

[tropic urchin]

oh kek yeah

i was there day 5

[humble surge]

Nice okay

I'll ask some more then when the time comes, ty ^^

[sacred elm]

When did you get yours

I have them since April 7

[glacial wind]

More importantly though is my manfrotto autopole and friction arm with camera attachment is coming tomorrow

[glacial wind]

you better buy one for your sony camera mounting needs too shafie: https://www.manfrotto.com/global/autopole-2-2-1-3-7m-432-3-7/

oh my mistake, you need the buy link

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/546662-REG/Manfrotto_432_3_7B_432_3_7B_Single_Deluxe_Autopole.html

[sacred elm]

[glacial wind]

i'd recommend the 244n manfrotto friction arm too, and you'll need a 035 superclamp to go with it

[tropic urchin]

either before or same time as you

[glacial wind]

you can buy the friction arm before him if you hurry https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/325444-REG/Manfrotto_244N_244N_Variable_Friction_Magic.html

[sacred elm]

I got them first🤬

[tropic urchin]

i dont like pizza

[glacial wind]

so not worry, no pizza here. Only the industry leading friction arms

[sweet oak]

Instagram sucks but pibble is eternal

[flat cobalt]

DCS GG is up

[reef oar]

@sacred elm finally shipped mine, ig bc i bundled something else so they had to go grab that. you'll be finding out whether we get fluxes or bluxes first

[sacred elm]

I think all orders got shipped today, hope we don't get Bluxes

[reef oar]

nah there's no way

i looked at the store reviews and no one else got fakes

just they send like 1 switch short a few times

[sacred elm]

Yeah, we're fine

Surely...

[reef oar]

[tropic urchin]

idk they should identical to regular but just bink

havent gotten scammed on aliexpress yet

besides with the 2 week shipping time

[chilly mural]

2 week is fine

[tropic urchin]

its all you need after all

2 weeks is a great time to window shop yk

[chilly mural]

ngl, my country online store needs to go faster

tiktok shop already beating them out but it's tiktok

[stoic ocean]

Hmmm can look sick on vella silver edition

[trail bane]

Semi amen

[leaden cedar]

Does anyone have a HE Switch recommendation where the switch is fully white/transparent, and makes deeper/thockier sounds

Also, thoughts on the raw geon he, and magnetic jade air/max?

[sacred elm]

There's no "thocky" switch, but you can try UR Ice Ultra, it has "deep clacky" sound profile.

[reef oar]

those jades suck

fuck the rgbs and get pros

they are legendary

or just get raws

the raws are probably what you're looking for

[sacred elm]

No, Raw isn't what they're looking for. It's the opposite of "thock" lol

[reef oar]

we just determined that doesn't exist

[sacred elm]

Yes, but at least recommend something that is on deeper side

[reef oar]

i'm sure they can sound deeper depending on the case and plate

[robust siren]

try the mmd c1s

[reef oar]

i was just said raws bc they clearly want transparent or translucent, i have no idea what the ice ultras are like in terms of sound

[robust siren]

ice ultras are deeper raws and imo so are the c1s

[reef oar]

damn and they're also literally pennies

[trail bane]

Get elf kings

[reef oar]

fuck it get those

i think the case is closed on ice ultras

[leaden cedar]

lol

I just wanted something that matches white and is a bit deeper

like ik you can't see switches but they're in the back of my mind

[trail bane]

TTC my beloved

[sacred elm]

Try Ice Ultras then They're fully transparent.

Also dirt cheap

[leaden cedar]

and they are Wooting compatible?

[ionic breach]

ye

[leaden cedar]

sorry one more thing, I wanted to swap out the springs for heavier ones, around 70
How do I know which springs are compatible?

[sacred elm]

Wooting Lekker springs are compatible

[leaden cedar]

How can I double check that for the future

like for other springs

[sacred elm]

You need HE compatible 6.1mm diameter springs

[leaden cedar]

ok tysm

[ionic breach]

damn this the cleanest thing ive seen all year

[reef oar]

with some miami keycaps

[trail bane]

Ayo, Which emotion should I use for the fact that the Gateron switches, for which I paid $4 for shipping, will arrive tomorrow, while the GMK set, for which I paid around €30 for shipping, is still at the DHL warehouse. Let me remind you how the switches were traveling to me

[uneven cradle]

It be like that

I purchased a keyboard last year in June/July it was supposed to come in q1 this year and has now been delayed once again

[chilly mural]

bewildered

[trail bane]

Let me count how much distance this package has traveled

Ts sound crazy asf

≈23200km

Referring to the map, tracking updates, and the fact that I’m in Poland

[thorn zealot]

Hopefully that don’t happen with my kb

[tropic urchin]

Get centerpiece for proper thock king

Then you can wait until 2029 with hopper

[tired prawn]

Anyone know where to sell used switches/cases?

[tropic urchin]

r/mechmarket, eBay/Facebook marketplace depending on your region

[thorn zealot]

💀

[tropic urchin]

You know you want it you foamy cream fanatic

[thorn zealot]

i would just get another mx board then 🤓 ☝️

also that thing ugly

[tidal frigate]

Your package loves to travel

[tropic urchin]

Nah it’s beautiful just like takmisser’s cataclysm raiding 2013 monitor

You weren’t born yet to truly appreciate large bezels

wsg any recent interesting developments in rubber dome he yet

[thorn zealot]

dont think so

but i might be plannin to get an ec pcb for my agar

since ur a rubber dome man

what should i be lookin for

[cloud pivot]

no idea i been riding on tecsee gel pads (tactile variant) for like 6 months now

[fallen pecan]

rakka atlas chart topper

[chilly mural]

Nice nice

[glacial wind]

ah the switch gods are trying to save me from flux it seems

[chilly mural]

So far only 2 keeb match woot release latency

[glacial wind]

package got slowed down for id clearance

[chilly mural]

Waow

[chilly mural]

If woot has like 0.05mm actuation, do you think it can match atlas?

[fallen pecan]

the test board wasnt using 0.05mm, only 0.1

[glacial wind]

rakka isn't in the super low silly settings group. they even made a blog about it

just makes your keyboard actually worse in real usage so they never did it

[uneven cradle]

Madlion clears it has 0.02mm

[chilly mural]

Cant wait to see woot with 0.1mm

[calm pulsar]

just change values in web ui to whatever you want

[regal patio]

Hi is there a good deep sounding switch for the wooting?

I atm use the jade pro's but I built the wooting 80he in February so I think the switches are kinda outdated on my board

I don't care if the switch is bad for gaming cuz I don't even use my wooting 80he for gaming

[trail bane]

What was the rule about wearing white after Labor Day? Nevermind that, AEBoards Raed HEs in new, white AE housings 👀

I also got some of the pink 60g domes and need to make some force curves of those this weekend...

X · Sep 18, 2025, 3:19 PM

Also getting those "tactile" switches from Lateron + couple of Gat Type R

+- in an hour and they will be with me

[tidal frigate]

They arent re colours

They have harder domes

[chilly mural]

Nice nice

And it's brown, my fav color for a switch

Chocy milk ah color

[trail bane]

Lekker ahh recolour

[fluid ravine]

how hard

[chilly mural]

If it fixes the issue, my dream of 60% board with rubberdome will live

[fluid ravine]

true thocc

[chilly mural]

Nice nice

[trail bane]

Looks very nice

[trail bane]

Those jade emeralds btw have same tactile mechanisms as type r

Looks like Box Kailhs killed my understanding of the structure of tactile switches

[thorny totem]

is the lubricant any good, I just bought an 80HE but have my own lubricant.

[paper bison]

The stock lube job is more than servicable, majority of people who buy a board from Wooting don't have the lube or know how to do it (gamers), so they make it good enough for those people

Nothing stopping you from doing it yourself if you think it could be better though

preorders start 1st of october in japan

[calm pulsar]

stepped caps too

[tawdry tree]

both 😃👍

[tawdry tree]

no date for international yet afaik

[chilly mural]

I guess if the pcb is only less than $150 on rakka

[tawdry tree]

@steady halo

[tawdry tree]

it’s $180 or so

lemme check

ah yeah, $150 w/o switches

$190 with

not bad

[chilly mural]

Damn

[calm pulsar]

Japan, not China?

[chilly mural]

Okay right on my expected cost

[tawdry tree]

from the official rakka retailer in japan

that ship internationally too if you ask*

got my hm from there too

[calm pulsar]

would’ve been cool to pick it up when im in China in november, but maybe it will be available on aliexpress like rakka 80 eventually

[tawdry tree]

rakka will sell it themselves internationally too

[steady halo]

yeayy

new pics

[calm pulsar]

we are so back

(from MX )

[steady halo]

HAHAHA

[trail bane]

Peak

[steady halo]

i hate the plate tho

plate mount stabs

[trail bane]

Can I return all my 80HE stuff?

[calm pulsar]

true lol

[calm pulsar]

well it can be a separate smaller board so youll have both options

both 60% and a 80he

[chilly mural]

Does it include a plate or that's diy?

[tawdry tree]

includes a plate but there might be different plates available

[tawdry tree]

kinda same but at least it’s compatible with PCB mounts

[trail bane]

Never mind, just my ambitions got the better of common sense

[chilly mural]

Green consumed

[trail bane]

frog mini pesante + atlas

[trail bane]

But only in sweet dreams

[trail bane]

Quick revision:
as expected Gateron Type R is my new favourite mx switch
Gateron Jade emerald is mediocre as all other HE releases from gateron

[calm pulsar]

oh I have this mx switch in my cart too lol

[glacial wind]

Hrm so about $200 for the pcb module set

Wooting stream today btw. Any topics you’d like us to cover? (no leaks)

[uneven cradle]

[trail bane]

I need 50 more asap, they so damn good, even when they are in cheap ass board like this

[calm pulsar]

sounds nice and clean in this board, but I bet the tactility in them feels nice too

[trail bane]

Better than Jade emeralds and classic Kailh box at least

[sacred elm]

Let's talk about Sony cameras

[glacial wind]

That’s a given

[calm pulsar]

hopefully you guys will be able to confirm whether there is an easter egg with a certain leaker who has an outstanding track record and accuracy

[noble turret]

More language layout PBT doubleshot backlit keycaps? ;P

[glacial wind]

I fear he has a different definition of outstanding

[noble turret]

What or how many orders would it make it worthwhile for you guys to do it

Cause I understand it’s quite the mold investment

[glacial wind]

If you order 20k units Calder may be convinced

[noble turret]

But could it be a kickstarter to not commit to it before wooting is guaranteed it will be worthwhile?

[glacial wind]

I forget what the number Calder gave before was on stream, but was it 50-100k investment just to get the molds done for these?

[noble turret]

Yep would that be something they’d be okay speaking in stream?

[uneven cradle]

100k I believe off memory for the molds

[glacial wind]

Well mostly me and sander don’t have any control of that so asking us doesn’t get anywhere but we can talk about it

[trail bane]

Switchy blanket

[chilly mural]

Wooting 60hev2 plastic case

[tawdry tree]

they made a new mold for an upsidedown space so that the people that use their spacebars upside down have the little bar at the top as well. it either isn’t that expensive or they have their priorities fucked up lol

[glacial wind]

that's not how it works.

making an entire language set is different from expanding a mold you already plan to make with an extra key

[tawdry tree]

I still can’t believe they actually did that

how many spacebars did they even add?

6.25 and the splits presumably?

💀

[glacial wind]

adding an extra key isn't too hard if you already have something planned, but doing an entirely new set is a different cost. Speaking of which there is an interesting modding keycap set topic to discuss in todays stream because we need feedback on potential keys people would like to have

[tawdry tree]

one or three new molds for spacebars?

it’s not so much about the new bars but the reason behind it lol

[glacial wind]

yeah no one in here is crazy enough to want to debate you on what you believe is popular or required

[tawdry tree]

defend it sno 😭

[glacial wind]

nah i'm good

[tawdry tree]

I hope mark was just trolling with all that

[noble turret]

Haha no worries i totally get it if you never produce spanish iso keycaps but if you could pass on what if it was on a kickstarter basis for less used or commercialised keycaps set so you only produce if you get the ROI that you need

doesn’t need to be a full set either, i’d be glad to buy the nordic set plus the different keys which are rather minor for instance

[sacred elm]

@glacial wind so deep clackies not today?

[noble turret]

All green keys here in nordic layout is 100% match to Spanish ISO whereas the yellow are good enough so it’s only 8 keycaps that would definitely need a mold

I’m sure the same happens with other languages layouts

But again no hard feelings if nothing happens, totally get how ROI works XD

It’s our fault for not having a standardised spanish layout amongst the over 500 million native spanish speakers in the world

XD

we should really have a standardised layout for portuguese and spanish and make that 800 mill

TMR Hall Effect switches 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[calm pulsar]

"unbreakable & incredibly thocky" when will this stop😭

[little glen]

no

[little glen]

save me from this thocky hell

[tawdry tree]

and some people in here still say no thocky magnetic switch exists

[little glen]

fuck my stupid thocky life

[tawdry tree]

if that’s not proof enough, idk what is

[calm pulsar]

this is such a bunch of marketing bullshit😭

Ceramic Magnetic PBT Thock Effect Switch

[chilly mural]

nice, collected $250. The universe congratulated me by showing GOLD GOLD GOLD (lit, the sky is gold, my noodle is gold, and my drink is gold).

[steady halo]

i can't wait

for

atlas

but their db is kinda weird

[chilly mural]

the static usb C location is all you need

[glacial wind]

not yet, it got stuck in id verification hell

[calm pulsar]

isn't just a normal unified db? one of them

[steady halo]

for the pic

it's kinda weird

i want to know more deeper

[calm pulsar]

the one on the left looks like it's the same type as on venom

[steady halo]

i know

[steady halo]

that's what i'm curious about

[calm pulsar]

you replace that depending on whether you want gh60 or db usage

I assume

[steady halo]

like, is the cable a fix thing?
is it possible to change the cable if the cable is broken(?)

or change the cable length

idk

[calm pulsar]

yeah seems like a valid concern
I'd think the cable length on the render is not the actual length

[steady halo]

yeah,
i hope they sell extra part

for it

but it looks very nice

finally stepped caps on 60% HE

$150 for kit with warranty (i hope they still keep the warranty) is kinda nice

[tawdry tree]

surely

there isn’t any JST connector on the PCB itself

so that USB-C replacement board or whatever you call it is the only way

not sure if it’s a good or bad thing

the fact that the cables come out of it vertically is also a bit odd

considering it’s an already thick PCB

[tawdry tree]

I’m really curious what the 60HE v2’s Module will sell for.

[chilly mural]

ASS, noice

[stoic ocean]

Anyone know how i can buy from taobao to France

[tawdry tree]

ASSSSS>

[tawdry tree]

a forwarder like superbuy

[stoic ocean]

they can deliver to a relay point?

[sacred elm]

[tawdry tree]

what do you mean?

[stoic ocean]

instead of having it delivered to my home, I have it delivered to a locker or a store. Doesn't that exist where you live?

[tawdry tree]

they just ship it to an address, so doesn’t matter where that is

[tawdry tree]

it does but never heard of something not being able to ship to it

[tawdry tree]

oh, you mean like from a postal company themselves?

[stoic ocean]

Yes

[austere creek]

usually youd change it once you got the tracking link BUT DHL, UPS and I think GLS all allow to enter a parcel station directly as an address. they all have their own format for it though and may or may not specify how to enter the address as they rpefer people using the tracking link to change the delivery options.

[tawdry tree]

then I’m not sure, it depends on which postal company they use

[tawdry tree]

yeah, thought he meant a postbus at first

[stoic ocean]

What is the best site to order from Taobao to France please?

[tawdry tree]

or whatever it’s called

[austere creek]

PO Box?

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[austere creek]

those would just have a normal address with an additional address line specifying it

[tawdry tree]

superbuy is the most popular afaik

[austere creek]

like a reshipper basically

[tawdry tree]

yeah exactly

[stoic ocean]

Thx @tawdry tree bro

i was looking for the mk60 looks very cool

There is only the prebuilt version

[tawdry tree]

there is a non-prebuilt version?

[stoic ocean]

White ,grey Orange, and black and special one gold and red the gold one have spiral bottom but more than 200€

[stoic ocean]

Yes the case only and the bottom look like the cloudnine

[tawdry tree]

a ramp buggy is what the thing looks like

ah, yeah. the case only for $100 or so from tb

kinda expensive ngl

after shipping $130 maybe

[paper bison]

yall think i can salvage the wooting tape mod and put it on a replacement pcb?

i wanna keep it for a holy80 bc hollow bottom

[sacred elm]

Yes

[paper bison]

bet

replacing it rn

[halcyon flax]

What cover does this mean exactly guys

Does this come below pcb or the bottom of the whole case

[robust siren]

it goes inside the case, at the bottom

[sacred elm]

Most likely sits on the bottom case

[halcyon flax]

Thanks a lot

[ionic breach]

they have both

that one that says internal

[halcyon flax]

The pc plate broke so idk if this helps

Near one of the screws

[robust siren]

thats an entirely different thing

[halcyon flax]

The iso pc plate

Not my pcb

[ionic breach]

that cover isnt a plate

[halcyon flax]

Well does it help with the stress near the screws and stuff?

[ionic breach]

i cant say it does

[robust siren]

ik what youre talking about

tho idk if wooting sells replacement plates for the 80he

[halcyon flax]

Let’s see

I will send a photo later

[robust siren]

youre talking about this

[ionic breach]

the holy80 has a custom one

[sacred elm]

If your 80HE plate got damaged, reach out to Wooting for a replacement plate https://wooting.io/support

[ionic breach]

cos its top mount

[halcyon flax]

The top plate I meant

The plastic one

[halcyon flax]

Yes but for iso one which comes with holy case

It’s screwed I think and one of the edges is broken

[ionic breach]

the one above your pcb yes?

probably just contact kbdfans

[robust siren]

ah

[halcyon flax]

I am not sure if it has warranty

[sacred elm]

Ask and find out. They have a live chat.

[languid kestrel]

if you are in the EU you have 2 year warranty

[halcyon flax]

Alrighty

[trail bane]

Damn fr?

[languid kestrel]

that's the law

if they choose not to obey it then enforcing that is going to be tough

but technically, legally, they are obligated to provide warranty for any sold-as-new good or item for no less than 2 years

applies to anyone who wants to do business in the EU

[halcyon flax]

I was in uk when I bought it

Then relocated so does that apply?

[languid kestrel]

you would need to check the UK warranty law in that case

[tawdry tree]

isn’t this about something from KBDFans?

[languid kestrel]

yes but it does not matter who or what it's from

[halcyon flax]

Alright I will check it out

[tawdry tree]

it’s only for companies located in the EU

not for Chinese companies

[languid kestrel]

I don't think so

[tawdry tree]

though, KBD has good support afaik so you can probably get it resolved

[tawdry tree]

it is.

[languid kestrel]

if you do business here (sell to people here) then you have to comply by trade rules of here

same reason I can't mail you weed even if I did it from NL

[tawdry tree]

you can buy from a reseller within the EU

that way you would get the warranty

reseller/vendor

alix upholds it iirc

[languid kestrel]

However, if you buy from a non-EU online trader who has specifically targeted EU consumers you should also be covered by EU rules

https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/shopping-consumer-rights/index_en.htm?utm_source=chatgpt.com#bought-outside-eu

"specifically targeted EU consumers" clearly is something to be interpreted very loosely – but if their webshop takes a european address with no qualms then it's safe to say they are targeting EU consumers as much as any other consumer

[tawdry tree]

hmm, what does specifically target mean?

[tawdry tree]

yeah, not sure.

[languid kestrel]

let's just say, if you buy your item from a chinese website, written in chinese, that only takes chinese addresses, then clearly you can't claim european warranty

but if they are a company in china with an english webshop clearly selling to western audience, quite obvious in my eyes they are "targeting EU consumers"

[tawdry tree]

it’d be nice if that were the case but what I read kind of conflicts with this

[languid kestrel]

problem is of course enforcement, there's no way to make them to come to court here if you wanted to challenge their claim of no warranty

so, in effect, your mileage may vary

[tawdry tree]

it stated something like when a company has a presence in the UE, then that’d be your right.

[languid kestrel]

yeah that will automatically make it unambiguous

[tawdry tree]

Enforcement is too difficult now anyway, even for EU companies. Ever since they stoped the ODR-platform. :(

[languid kestrel]

just in this case where they don't have a presence here, but are still selling to customers here, it would be considered "targeting EU consumers" and subject to same rules I feel

[tawdry tree]

could be, a bit odd they don’t give an example in that page

for what exactly they mean

normally they do that right?

[languid kestrel]

I think it's because there's no body or agency or otherwise capable of enforcing it anyway

[high storm]

does anyone know what the most obnoxiously clicky switches are available?

[tawdry tree]

magnetic ones?

[high storm]

yes

[tawdry tree]

not exactly much choice but either the Glorious ones or the Outemu ones.

[fringe quarry]

finally some good questions

ordered freyas from geon 😔

[tawdry tree]

Or if you really want the most obnoxious ones, then the Jades with a click leaf from the Melodics (you’ll have to open each one up and take the click leaf from one [the Melodics] and put it in the other [Jades]).

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[high storm]

im just going for straight up noise have tried both phylina’s i think they called and jades both sound decent but aren’t scratching the being annoying itch.

[tawdry tree]

Oh, you don’t mean actually clicky switches but just loud linear ones?

[high storm]

anything honestly

[tawdry tree]

If you just want loud, Fluxes are pretty good and they aren’t that expensive anymore.

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGVTm1C

[high storm]

i will check out these suggestions, i appreciate your help

[sacred elm]

@tropic urchin another Flux rec, this is not a dream!

[tropic urchin]

wait so its safe to talk about fluxies without sno admonishing you, based

im getting kinda tired of plastic plate tho

[paper bison]

one of my owlabs developed a crunch 💔

[left depot]

[robust siren]

that means it’s ripe, best time to munch

[sacred elm]

That might be a sign to order Deep Clackies

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

[tropic urchin]

wait owlabs are crunchy too? we really cant have anything nice in this life

[humble surge]

wots wrong with crunche

[paper bison]

2 of mine are crunchy

[tropic urchin]

we are truly cursed

[paper bison]

i might have to get new switches

i was really starting to like the owlabs too

should just get some lateron lades

[tropic urchin]

id rather use crunchy raptors or owlabs over going back to jades

stem wobble 🥀

[reef oar]

yes.

[paper bison]

i do kinda wanna replace my owlabs soon, I like them but they're only a few months old and starting to crunch, and I've handlubed them before it's rubbing on the stem housing

[sacred elm]

Fluxes for that price is a steal, just saying

[reef oar]

jade pros would never let you down

they're loyal

i haven't found a single video of deep clacky fluxes yet btw, i can only find default skin fluxes

[paper bison]

which price

plus I haven't heard a decent sound test of the deep clackys

[glacial wind]

On the Wuque sales page there’s a video

[sacred elm]

Ali price

[glacial wind]

My deep flux do arrive tomorrow though so I can add them to the soundtests I’m doing next week

[reef oar]

deal.

[glacial wind]

I do want to see if Wuque plan to update official pricing too

it’s a bit weird if vendors are selling for 1/3 the price vs them

[reef oar]

how are they not operating at a loss selling it at that price

[sacred elm]

They might release spring packs too, I asked them yesterday

[glacial wind]

I’d guess some of these guys get low pricing from China bulk buying and are now passing cost savings over

But that’s just total guess

but Wuque really need to lower their official pricing if more vendors start popping up for this low pricing

[paper bison]

either that or they're giga fake clones

[sacred elm]

I asked that Ali seller about the price and they told me this "We have the most advantageous sourcing in China"

🤷‍♂️

[reef oar]

yeah but you're undercutting ghosts atp

[sacred elm]

It's pretty hard to release Flux clones, so chances are low

[glacial wind]

Yeah I feel it’s them buying via factory leak where it’s made by same factory but not officially or via reselling from China hobby shops that got them cheap somehow

[reef oar]

possibly, i read they're made by a different factory i think

https://www.theremingoat.com/blog/ws-flux-he-switch-review

[sacred elm]

His stem wobble rating is weird, should be higher

Stem barely moves when you bottom out

And it feels consistent throughout the press

[trail bane]

Even jades

[paper bison]

depending on jed's sound test i might order some

and if the price goes up lmao

this'll work well with raws, right?

[sacred elm]

Correct

You might not even need stem spacers.

[lofty fox]

wait how

[glacial wind]

he just means not everyone runs into the wobble issue

if you don't mind spending the extra for spacers in the case that you need it then it's fine, but yeah not everyone runs into the issue with every switch/keycap combo

[paper bison]

youd rather have them and not need them than vice versa

preorder 80he

can't get it

[sacred elm]

It's 80HE founders campaign role.

[paper bison]

60he v2 role incoming

[tropic urchin]

@sacred elm need deep clack

[lofty fox]

i'm confused, i thought spacers were required for non-longpole stabs with shorter bottom-out switches

[sacred elm]

Ali eternal shipping 💔

[sacred elm]

Not required. You use them if you have issues.

Most of the time happens if you have very cheap keycaps.

[lofty fox]

[gray vapor]

Are Ws flux the GOAT at this point?

[sacred elm]

They feel and sound great, but the price sucks.

Currently they're cheap on AliExpress though.

[gray vapor]

How is the stem wobble? Seeing mixed reviews some people saying none and some saying there is actually a bit

I am using lekker/raptor v1 Frankenswitches which have almost zero wobble

[sacred elm]

It has great stem wobble.

[gray vapor]

But sound is not good and the feel is meh

I am tempted, hoping the person above posts a deep version sound test to see if that’s worth it

[sacred elm]

Sno should receive them tomorrow, so wait for the proper sound test.

[tropic urchin]

To go off Sno’s rankings they’re like A+/S- top wobble and S bottom stability

They’re slightly better top wobble than TTC POM only due to smaller stem (octagonal vs large box) and has similar bottom from my experience

[sacred elm]

Here's a rough sound test of deep clacky Fluxes on a PCR 80HE #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[tropic urchin]

If they stay $1 per switch I think they’re great value in the current meta

Only switch I’ve gone back to time and time again

Raptors are better top wobble but they crunchy bois 🥀

[gray vapor]

Thanks! This is good information

I got some new keycaps (GMK Prussian blue) so I figured may as well just freshen the whole board up

[stark osprey]

I think that sound is the one to beat, Thunderflash probably #2 for me. I wonder if Tikkens will clear.

And my Raptor V2s stay flawless

[tropic urchin]

I was so sad the day mine gone crunchy

That being said I think maybe deep black WASD would be beneficial if you do notice any on your movement keys

[sacred elm]

Tested Flux vs. Raptor/Lekker Frankenswitch and stem wobble is actually very close. With frankenswitch you can feel stem movement when you bottom out and wiggle the switch horizontally, with Fluxes you feel nothing and it feels so much better than the Raptor franken.

[tropic urchin]

I think it should feel/sound similar @stark osprey

[gray vapor]

Thanks so much

That’s super helpful. Sounds like slight stem feel upgrade and definitely sound upgrade to go from those to flux

[tropic urchin]

I’ll give it a try to see how it feels on alu whenever it arrives

[stark osprey]

Yeah I was quite surprised when I saw you guys talking about the crunch, definitely had me paranoid for a bit so I have been keeping an eye on my set. So far so good though 🤞🏼

[tropic urchin]

I noticed it on W key which was super weird

And sometimes on S but it wasn’t always happening

[sacred elm]

G - Regular white Flux
H - Raptor/Lekker v1 frankenswitch

Keep in mind that currently I have regular Flux and it sounds way louder than the "Deep Clacky" version.

[tropic urchin]

After like 3 days it started

If deep clack removes some of the high pitch/harshness it’s going to be S tier for my build

A louder raptor v2 would go hard

[gray vapor]

Yeah that is essentially zero wobble haha especially on bottom out

[tropic urchin]

Yeah it’s very good on bottom stability. As long as it’s not a huge box I can live with the top wobble

Raptors fumbled at the goal line tho with those springs/design

[stark osprey]

Can you not replace the springs on your Raptors with other springs, say like with the Geon pingless HE? Or does it not fit?

[sacred elm]

No

[tropic urchin]

Only compatible iirc is TTC Pom (and Wooting collab)

And I replaced my stock springs for those and same issue

[sacred elm]

Replacing springs won't help yeah, it's a design issue.

[stark osprey]

Gotcha wow, how unfortunate.

[tropic urchin]

Nobody is allowed to use stable 45g long spring switches

[sacred elm]

Very unfortunate for me, because I replaced springs on 70 Raptors

Probably never. Very unfortunate for the three people who want this to happen.

[trail bane]

@glacial wind can you share how well your Gat tactile were lubed?

[glacial wind]

Light factory lube

Pretty standard gateron level lubing

[trail bane]

Mine look like they were lubed decently, but the spring is awful. I tried lubing it with GPL105 and it felt like it completely killed the sound

[glacial wind]

I don’t think you can fix the sound of tactile jade

That chattery sound you’re trying to remove comes from the tactile bit I’m pretty sure

[trail bane]

They sucks as I expected

At least I spent only $10 so

[fluid ravine]

dude my k11 is out for delivery rn but amazon is EDGING the fuck out of me

bro went pass my house 4 times

dipped my neighborhood and went to who knows what

[night atlas]

I was about to buy some, what in your opinion makes the springs "bad" ?

[tropic urchin]

@sacred elm send the video

[tropic urchin]

TL;DR it’s most likely the design is flawed on the switches. Over time you might (I did) notice spring crunch when you press your keys (I only noticed on W and S)

[sacred elm]

Springs are fine, it's the housing

[tropic urchin]

What happens is you’ll feel the spring bottoming out and it’ll feel crunchy and weird

[sacred elm]

Switches will eventually develop "crunch", because the spring isn't secured properly

[tropic urchin]

Doesn’t always happen, but it’s found a way to happen every 1-2 days it’s very annoying

I swapped with my TTC Pom as well and happened still

[night atlas]

Ahhh gotcha

Wonder what specifically it is

[tropic urchin]

Ideally if you don’t play OSU, and switch swap WASD you’ll never have the issue

Or maybe you’ll be lucky

And have no spring crunch

[sacred elm]

Switches are very tight though and so cheap, overall not bad.

but the crunching issue sucks

[tropic urchin]

The switches are cheap enough it’s worth the gamble @night atlas

[night atlas]

damn i assume even w/lube the spring crunch is still persistent?

considering y'all prob have tried that alr

[sacred elm]

Yes, it's not only the sound. You can physically feel spring rubbing against the bottom housing. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1289520753238081629/1410669092880384051/IMG_2631.mov?ex=68cedc78&is=68cd8af8&hm=8ad141dd51515e9d77721d550ee36b7f318f1769f3798c6c4a29cf5e5182136d&

[fluid ravine]

what switches we talking about here

[sacred elm]

Raptor v2

[fluid ravine]

ah

[night atlas]

oh damn

[glacial wind]

Keep in mind though that this isn’t everyone with them

[night atlas]

and there's no compatible springs for general sale too huh:?

[glacial wind]

So we warn people about them but the majority of people do not experience the spring issue

[night atlas]

Ya, every product will have QC issues

is it something that comes w/switch use or do some just straight up come out like that

it seemed implied that it was through use? to me at least

[upbeat cloak]

[glacial wind]

For example there’s maybe a couple reports on geon discord and a few here but everyone else can’t even get it to happen at all

[upbeat cloak]

oof

[night atlas]

eh not a big deal for me, esp considering the price

[glacial wind]

It’s through use but only if your usage is very specific to the type of usage that seems to cause it

[night atlas]

i c i c

[glacial wind]

So for example heavy repetitive fast presses like osu seem to trigger it more

[night atlas]

yea, i should be fine considering i'm an FPS guy anyway

thanks for the insight tho, still good to know

[glacial wind]

The main thing is if you’re ordering them I’d buy a few extra so you can swap if you have it happen

[sacred elm]

Yeah, idk. Some of my raptors developed crunch after typing. I'm unlucky I guess.

[night atlas]

alwaysss

I usually get 70 (unless they're sold by 12s) for my 60he

[tropic urchin]

God doesn’t want me to be happy, all I did was press W in game

[sacred elm]

It happened on my WASD keys and then randomly on my E and J keys

[glacial wind]

I believe both me and ponz had them in our 80he for weeks of daily use and couldn’t replicate the crunch happening - so it’s very random and hard to pin down what causes it

Gn

[tropic urchin]

Time to not move in game

[robust siren]

real

[night atlas]

my best guess was just sort of molding issue during production, though idk about the manufacturing process too wel'

[glacial wind]

And checking the geon reviews in Korea it seems very low incidence rate too because the reviews are still very high here with no mentions of crunch

so it’s just a bit of a weird one where a small percentage of people will experience the issue and we can’t figure out exactly why

[tropic urchin]

Divinikey shipments toast

Time to order from EU

@sacred elm W or L

[sacred elm]

How much are Raptors for you?

[glacial wind]

I still really want to know if these cheap flux are factory leaks or not

Because it’s a known thing that happens in China, but we have no idea if that’s the case here or something else caused this listings price to be low

[tropic urchin]

Ig it should be easy to verify authenticity

With regulars to compare to

[glacial wind]

Well not really because factory leaks are real products

They’re exactly the same as the real product sometimes and can even be made in same factory, but unauthorised

[tropic urchin]

They’re just Flux and not WS Flux

[glacial wind]

So from a buyers perspective they may very well be the same product as a Wuque sold flux for example even if they’re factory leaks

[tropic urchin]

Well if @tawdry tree scammed me I’ll be sneaking his OW60

And replacing it with a GT60

[glacial wind]

just that a factory made a batch they weren’t authorised to and sold it for cheap - not saying that happened here of course but that’s how factory leak stuff works at times

[sacred elm]

We will all blame aligner so that's fine

[tropic urchin]

Then he can get more keycap sets

[sacred elm]

I'll take that.

[tropic urchin]

[night atlas]

0.38usd per

I have a connection so I'm getting free shipping haha

so i esp can't complain

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I’d roll the dice

100%

Worst case they wind up in a jar or they’re BIS switches for you so

[night atlas]

i've been thru many shitty switches so I think a small chance of spring crunch is gonna be nbd

what's BIS?:

[tropic urchin]

True

[glacial wind]

Best in slot

[tropic urchin]

Best in Slot (MMO term) think of it as ‘endgame’ switches

Or your endgame

[night atlas]

Ahhhhh gotcha

[tropic urchin]

They were really nice for me up until they ended up crunching

[night atlas]

I legit thought there was a new brand/brand i haven't heard of lmao

[sacred elm]

They're fine but not a fan of the sound

soulless

[tropic urchin]

I’m not that plugged in unfortunately

What’s also soulless is any switch on PC plate

What would be a nicer sound for 60he? Stock plate vs brass vs carbon fiber?

[tropic urchin]

CF is usually good, mostly depends on what you’re running (steel or PC plate)

FR4/alu too are good options

If you have steel and like the stiffness, but not the metal sound CF would be your pick

[gray vapor]

I forget which one came with the wooting 60 regular. I also got a he+ but that one is steel right?

[tropic urchin]

Did you get prebuilt or module

Prebuilt for the regular (which is the board I am using now) and then module for the he+

[sacred elm]

Depends on switches

[gray vapor]

Ordered the flex from a guy on Reddit

So will be those

[sacred elm]

@fluid ravine

[gray vapor]

2nd board will eventually have owlab ti

[sacred elm]

[tawdry tree]

It’s his opinion, that’s what he gave as a reasoning basically, after I asked about why he rated the KoM’s wobble worse than Raw HE’s.. 💀

[gray vapor]

?

[tropic urchin]

I’d try FR4 at first, and see how you feel regarding the volume

[ionic breach]

did u pay 65 bucks?

just curious

[gray vapor]

Yes

[sacred elm]

[ionic breach]

LOL

[robust siren]

[tawdry tree]

part time perhaps.

[sacred elm]

WHAT

[tropic urchin]

Oh shit

[gray vapor]

I am confused haha

[tropic urchin]

It’s happening

The Convergence 👀

[sacred elm]

You bought from thockson

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine was the seller

[gray vapor]

Oh hahah that’s funny

[sacred elm]

Oh so you bought regular fluxes

[gray vapor]

Yeah I didn’t like the sound of the deep ones as much

[sacred elm]

I like their sound on PC plate, but varedis hates it I think

It's all preference

[fluid ravine]

YO

[robust siren]

[fluid ravine]

HAHAHA

OH SHIT IT IS YOUUUU

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

[tawdry tree]

just use, not specific use.

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

mine aint

wait that's hilarious

[gray vapor]

I have ow60 in the box still but this is the one the flux will go on. With GMK Prussian blue

[tawdry tree]

there’s no good way to objectively measure wobble yet so it’s somewhat fair, his opinion is wrong though.

[gray vapor]

Planning owlab ti with this key set (GMK micticlan) on the ow60

[sacred elm]

Will warn you, Fluxes are VERY loud on CF plate

[robust siren]

interesting.... you got the astrals 👀

[fluid ravine]

pretty

[fluid ravine]

indeed

im waiting on my k11 right now

[robust siren]

am looking at thocksons reddit posts

[fluid ravine]

but amazon is edging the absolute fuck out of me

[fluid ravine]

ay

ay

ay

why you stalking

[gray vapor]

PC plate?

[sacred elm]

Ah, thought you were going to use them in OW60

[tropic urchin]

From my recommendation too

[robust siren]

soon
its coming home soon

trust

[gray vapor]

Ow60 will have owlab ti in them eventually. Then this board will have the flux

[ionic breach]

owlab with owlab

[tropic urchin]

Yuge

[gray vapor]

But that white plate is PC right?

[robust siren]

(we are still like 2 months out)

[gray vapor]

I haven’t taken this board apart in a while

[sacred elm]

Prebuilt 60HE is steel
Module is PC

[gray vapor]

Do we think the PC or steel will sound good with flux?

[sacred elm]

PC

[fluid ravine]

PC

[gray vapor]

Ok I’ll stick with the PC then

Thanks!

[sacred elm]

Steel is the loudest and very metallic sounding plate

[fluid ravine]

Plastic plates are the way to go with Flux

[tropic urchin]

Steel is out of the question

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[tropic urchin]

Even FR4 is borderline too loud

[sacred elm]

yea

[gray vapor]

Cool

[fluid ravine]

agreed

[sacred elm]

Deep clackies will be nice on metal plates

[tropic urchin]

Experiment with different plates to find your ideal one 🌹

Maybe try on PC and see how you feel

Then go from there

[gray vapor]

I’ll try PC first since it’s already built that way. But I’ll be taking off the steel plate from other board anyways for the ow60 build so can switch if desired at that point

I have way too many keyboards haha

[sacred elm]

You can also try other plates if you want.

You can get PP POM FR4 ALU on AliExpress

[upbeat cloak]

should cover my keyboard in hot glue and glitter

sand particles for extra wear on the switches

[stoic ocean]

Good idea

[fluid ravine]

@tropic urchin

[tropic urchin]

looking good gang

[chilly mural]

noice

[fluid ravine]

guess im mostly set

just need to get a dongle dac and try more eartips now

am happay

[tidal frigate]

Dongle dac is all you need

No need for big dac

[fluid ravine]

i dont like to route my iem cable to my pc

i rather have it on my desk

and a physical volume control knob

[chilly mural]

I have a long 3.5mm extension going from my motherboard to under my desk

that could be the thing you can do

[fluid ravine]

nah im good tbh xd

[chilly mural]

but I also want to hotswap between multiple dongle dacs so I might just do long USB instead

[fluid ravine]

i've used to run my iem cable to my pc on the floor i really dont enjoy it

i usually have my interfaces running center on the desk so it doesn't really get in the way of anything for me

[thorn zealot]

How is it

[open sapphire]

is there any custom plate manufacturer on taobao that can drill countersink holes?

[fluid ravine]
