Need to learn it's functions and what not

[thorn zealot]

Can’t help u with that

[fluid ravine]

It's fine I got it

[thorn zealot]

Dac amp shit make no sense to me

[fluid ravine]

Damn

[thorn zealot]

Did ur astrals come with a lil carry pouch

[fluid ravine]

Lil carrying case yeah

[thorn zealot]

Yeah u should put ur iems in there when ur not at ur desk

[fluid ravine]

Yeah I do

[thorn zealot]

👍 👍

[fluid ravine]

I have em out on my desk for the photos

Dw ik how to wrap them as well

[thorn zealot]

Good aim

[fluid ravine]

Now I look for dongle dac

Ka11?

[thorn zealot]

Sure

The one at least decent jakub take

[fluid ravine]

Any other recommended?

[marsh saffron]

a rare occurrence

[fluid ravine]

Ik there's some with chips that has a shit ton of numbers

[thorn zealot]

Does apple dongle count

[fluid ravine]

Sure

Heard that's like the cheapest and reliable

[thorn zealot]

There’s a $250 dongle one

And then there’s a rly good $650 one that’s semi dongle

And and then there’s a $928292 one

[fluid ravine]

Gimme

[reef oar]

i'd rather jump out of a moving vehicle going 193mph in gta 6 beta than use IEMs but i do respect it

[fluid ravine]

[thorn zealot]

I’d rather throw a tantrum and jump up and down on a Lego set for 2 hrs than buy jade pros

But I respect the loyalty

[reef oar]

ngl i literally imagined your response btw

i knew you were gonna say that

[chilly mural]

Jm6 pro, if you're somwhat insane, jm20 and jm28

[reef oar]

i'm not an audiophile, my ears can NEVER hold earphones in for some reason and they perma fall out, they cost 10 mil for some reason

it's all just aids

plus mid for gaming

[chilly mural]

Jm28 chip uses an upgraded version of jm20 chip iirc

[thorn zealot]

They can be rly good

But I think some upper end headphones will be better

[reef oar]

all i know is that lan audio in 99% of games is notoriously dogshit and they're forced to use IEMs for the white noise shits

watching val champs recently and there's been like a million times where it's like okay how did you not hear that guy

[azure kayak]

https://ymdkey.com/products/122-orange-red-gradient-backlit-keycaps-oem-profile-for-104-87-84-68?srsltid=AfmBOopTszcad6sRr9SqdugHwPSfQm9gQoDwfoh7rGrkBh4e4WDzvXOo is this site trustworthy?

[glacial wind]

Not really. It’s specific usage

we have heavy users who haven’t had it happen yet at all

It takes very specific usage to get it happening it seems

[glacial wind]

That has nothing to do with iem

That’s just arena audio being awful

[chilly mural]

nice to have the city of Babylon etched to my keeb

[glacial wind]

They have tons of white noise and crowd noise making it insanely hard to hear

Iem themselves are insanely good or on par with much more expensive headphones usually

[chilly mural]

IEM can literally be an earplug, so that can help too

[glacial wind]

Yeah if anything iem help out the noise issue, not make it worse

it’s the white noise mostly that makes it really suck to hear footsteps and such because you hear the weird static noise the whole time

[sacred elm]

@glacial wind where flux

[glacial wind]

Oh I think it just cleared customs

So whenever dhl delivers if they deliver on Saturday

[sacred elm]

Record deep clacky flux + optimum sound test when you have time please

[tropic urchin]

only real believers get their flux in record time

sno not committed

[glacial wind]

I think we actually had regular flux sitting in wooting office for ages lol

[sacred elm]

That's criminal

[glacial wind]

Btw we will be taking community responses probably soon to see what switches we add to switch selector first (outside of the ones we already sell in store) so it’ll be folks chance to put up the switch they want added in first

[chilly mural]

TI HE

and lekker v1

[sacred elm]

@tropic urchin

[glacial wind]

launch will probably already have all the switches we stock

since I assume that’s what they’ve been testing with

[chilly mural]

hmm, so lekker v1 are going to be there

[glacial wind]

V1 actually not sure because maybe they just skipped em since they’ll be gone soon

[chilly mural]

RIP

[sacred elm]

v1 is already gone no? even 2he comes with v2s now

[glacial wind]

I think I’ll put in suggestion in particular for some switches that we know need the selector to function well that are nice options

So sparks and Freya for example

And besides that probably popular current stuff like owlab ti he

[meager skiff]

no idea about that specific site, but i've bought from YMDK through aliexpress before and can vouch for them
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003541308902.html here's the set there

[sacred elm]

Flux switch selector option, make it happen

[chilly mural]

yay

also raeds and tecsee

[glacial wind]

I did hear flux is getting more popular in China now that they’re more cheap

[sacred elm]

That's promising

[glacial wind]

Raeds and tecsee probably not for a bit honestly, because they’re not that popular

[azure kayak]

thx

[sacred elm]

I think Fluxes will benefit from switch selector if they really have strong magnets

[glacial wind]

It’s more if their qc has weird magnets randomly stronger that’s an issue, but that won’t be helped by switch selector

Wooting actually adjusts fine to strong magnets now because lekker v2 use strong magnets

It’s just the randomly waaaay stronger that’s causes issues

When I was magnet testing compatibility, the lekker v2 are actually up there in raptor v1 range

[sacred elm]

Oh wow

[glacial wind]

So it means wooting has been adjusted since early days to be fine with strong magnet range now

[sacred elm]

[glacial wind]

Weaker is the bigger issue, or extremely way way way strong

[upbeat cloak]

these look cool
https://noveltykeycaps.com/product/league-of-legends-arcane-jinx-keycap-set/

there are not many jinx keycaps out there

[tawdry tree]

For CF options (forged and silver): https://m.tb.cn/h.SdZYhfuaIfthU9a
For plastics and FR4 options: https://m.tb.cn/h.S2xjdl7sDB1SVSG

[tropic urchin]

Flux need to be added since they’re #1

[tawdry tree]

it’s not. you notice it earlier on keys you hold down, rather than tap.

[glacial wind]

Yeah but only if you specifically seem to use it for specific games

Or usages

For example we have folks who don’t have it on wasd at all and have heavy usage in valorant/cs

[tawdry tree]

based on what?

[glacial wind]

Based on literally what I just said?

or league for example

[tawdry tree]

you notice it on WASD cause u hold em down

[glacial wind]

no as in we have people with heavy usage on wasd who haven’t had it happen

[tawdry tree]

I noticed it on 3 in hand

no usage

[glacial wind]

so it's a specific usage that seems to trigger it more

[tawdry tree]

no. it’s random

[glacial wind]

i'm not getting into one of your 'aligner has his own definition of this subject and wants to argue' things

[open sapphire]

thx

[tawdry tree]

not specific usage or heavy usage

[glacial wind]

good luck.

[tawdry tree]

it just happens

[tawdry tree]

nah, just be fair

[tawdry tree]

np, both stores are good, I can recommend them

[glacial wind]

what are you even talking about fair lol

[tawdry tree]

fair, honest whatever you call it

[glacial wind]

is this some crusade for another one of your beliefs, give it a rest man. Not everyone has the same views as you on every definition

[tawdry tree]

everytime u pull this bro 😭

[glacial wind]

you can have your own specific definition that you think is more correct, but no one else has the time to argue with you about it

[tawdry tree]

[glacial wind]

it's for everything from you being correct about split usages etc to every other topic

[tawdry tree]

now you’re rage baiting again

[glacial wind]

yes, everyone who disagrees with your takes is ragebaiting

[tawdry tree]

nah, bringing it up again is

happens quite often

[glacial wind]

it's a consistent pattern

[tawdry tree]

exactly

[glacial wind]

give it a rest man. You don't need to inject your definition into every conversation just because you believe in something else

[tawdry tree]

projecting?

[glacial wind]

seems it's confirmed by a lot of the rumor sites now, the upcoming launch is a7v @uneven cradle https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/the-empire-strikes-back-sony-a7v-with-new-sensor-coming-oct-nov/

maybe even a new lens too

[uneven cradle]

hoping price isn't too high and I'm guessing partially stacked sensor from the wording

[glacial wind]

long as not US i think pricing will be okay. Seems rumors are sony is bumping prices up in US even more due to tariff stuff

[peak breach]

As i’ve stated multiple times previously i’ve been running my raptors since i’ve got them and they haven’t developed crunch yet

[glacial wind]

yeah we've had a whole bunch of folks who haven't had it happen at all yet. I was curious and checked the korean reviews for it from one store. 98 reviews, checking lowest rated reviews i only found 1-2 that mentioned the issue out of all of them

[peak breach]

Still would be nice if they could somehow fix it

[glacial wind]

what's interesting is people who get it once seem to be able to get it again more easily, but people who don't get it seem to just not get it happening

[peak breach]

Raptor v3 when?

[glacial wind]

which is why i think there's something to do with particular usage or way of pressing

otherwise varedis wouldn't be able to so reliably get it to happen on high usage keys, whereas others also heavy usage and can't get it to happen for weeks

[calm heath]

anyone alive here, I have decided to ask around in fiverr if they can design a case compatable with the two he that can be cnc

[glacial wind]

you're going to need way more complicated procedure than fiverr for that

cncing a case for two he is a very complicated and expensive process

[calm heath]

im mearly asking for the design that can be produced via cnc

not to actually produce a case

[glacial wind]

yeah just designing something that works by itself is complicated and needs a lot of measuring before cnc process even starts

there's been a few people who have tried in the past if you want to give a quick search into the discord past posts, but it's very much not an intuitive or simple process. You're welcome to try of course, but just be aware it's a very lengthy and involved process to get it working

[calm heath]

ngl most of the work is cut out by keeping the tray mounted design

[glacial wind]

I assume you already know but there’s also a huge cost for custom cnc like this so keep that in mind for your budget

[calm heath]

unless i coax people into a group buy /j

[obtuse brook]

When will sound test be ready

[glacial wind]

for which switches?

[glacial wind]

God bless manfrotto for their autopole. Makes this so much cleaner and easier to do different desk mounts without touching the desk

[stark osprey]

Yeah love Manfrotto, build quality is robust. Funny enough I dont use it on my desk, I use it on my motorcycle to mount Go Pros/ Insta360s

[glacial wind]

Yeah all their stuff is so nice. A little pricy but just works and feels solid compared to the cheapie clones

[trail bane]

I’ve updated my impressions of tactile Jades. They’re actually not even bad, I’m ready to admit

[glacial wind]

they're fine-ish outside of the whole tactile thing being an issue

there's that weird top out chatter but it's not a major issue

[tropic urchin]

Gateroni and cheeez

[trail bane]

Have a pretty fun typing experience even with 10pcs but they’re definitely not for gaming

[tropic urchin]

That’s Gateron for you

[glacial wind]

i finally finished setting up new setup now for sound recording, so it's super easy for me to record quickie sound tests now too, so even quickies can be done with nice sound now

[trail bane]

That’s maybe the first HE release from Gateron that I don’t hate

I’d like to record sound tests, but I’ll probably wait until Tiramisu arrives

[glacial wind]

Instant sound recording setup fully isolate not touching desk even for mount

[tropic urchin]

Deep clack yet Mr Sno 🥶

[glacial wind]

nah i think dhl just doesn't delivery on saturday so unfortunate

have to wait for monday

[tropic urchin]

🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

I’ll have to go back to work before deep clack + salt lake arrive 😢

[trail bane]

Bruh so fr

I even wrote to them that I’m willing to pay extra to get my package over the weekend, not even by courier but to a parcel locker. They replied that they can’t do that and that it supposedly wouldn’t be fair to other people

[tropic urchin]

“If you’re making me wait you don’t care about other people” /s

[tidal frigate]

Why not double low profile mic arms and put mics 90° up above keeb?

[glacial wind]

the boom arm is just for my stream mic, and it's connected to desk which causes thumping issues for sound tests

the pole is not connected to desk at all, so no vibration transfer

[tidal frigate]

Umm drill desk into wall?

[glacial wind]

or i could just use the pole and not do that...

[languid kestrel]

wouldn't even remove the problem anyway

[glacial wind]

yeah i'm not even sure how that would solve the problem of the boom arm transferring vibrations

[tidal frigate]

Well my elgato lp is stiff and doesent shake..

[glacial wind]

shaking isn't the issue

it's that the mic is connected to the arm, connected to the same table so small 'thump' sounds transfer to the pickup

whereas if you have to mic coming in from a separate mount, like the autopole, you don't get that vibration transfer

[robust siren]

the way ive done my recordings with my phone is just laying it on a quadcast mic with its shock absorber stand
most recent one i just have my phone balanced between my 2 monitors lol

[glacial wind]

yeah it gets real janky, before i had autopole I did some really jank setups for some stuff

That was one of more janky ones with elgato master mount pole clipped to a tripod

[trail bane]

Wtf am I doing?

[robust siren]

i think your keyboard is upside down

[trail bane]

That’s actually could work fine

[robust siren]

is it a 60% pcb on the 80he plate?

[trail bane]

Yep 60% MX pcb

[tropic urchin]

Gross

[trail bane]

Xd it actually works

[hot geyser]

Which one is better?
duhuk lumia herz
phylina bolt/lightning
owlab ti he
ur studio ice ultra

[glacial wind]

Neither. They’re all good and different slightly

[reef oar]

jade pros

[glacial wind]

Pick the one whose sound you like the most honestly

All the ones you mentioned are good

[tropic urchin]

Lumia Herz/Owlab are going to be very similar so get whatever's cheaper of the two. Phylina bolt/Lightning is the Boxstem variant of the UR Ice ultras.

so all 4 are very similar with some differences

[sacred elm]

cough cough Fluxes are 50% off

[tropic urchin]

UR ice sound with flux stability would go hard in the paint ngl

[sacred elm]

Maybe that's what deep clacky Flux is

[tropic urchin]

thats the hope anyway

[sacred elm]

My friend told me that it's deeper than Ice Ultra

[tropic urchin]

so if they are as advertised then tikkens are cancelled in my eyes

[chilly mural]

RIP tikken

[tropic urchin]

great for prebuilt switches tho

only thing its missing is long spring but i think i need to give up on the 45g long spring dream since it brings nothing but crunchy pain

[little glen]

Fiberglass bottom tikkens when

[calm pulsar]

or they were 200% before

[fluid ravine]

@sweet oak crunch pain

[sweet oak]

CRUNCH ! 🔥

[fluid ravine]

Ahhh my back

It crunched

And it hurts

[hot geyser]

Thank you

[little glen]

titanium 60he v2 case with tungsten weight when

[hot geyser]

Alright, which one is better for the gaming?

[tropic urchin]

Performance is going to be roughly equal. What you’re looking for is what has the best stem wobble for gaming.

Do you have a preference for top/bottom wobble?

[hot geyser]

I have no idea what it is

[tropic urchin]

For instance if you don’t care about bottom and want mostly great top stem wobble, then owlabs are probably the go to pick

[tropic urchin]

It’s something you’re going to have to experiment and buy a few cheap sets. The nuance comes if you’ve tried box stems or not (slightly worse top wobble, but amazing bottom wobble)

I’d just get owlabs and call it a day and see what you like and don’t like about it

Then you’ll have an informed idea of what you’re looking for, for your end game set

[hot geyser]

Is 90 enough for Tiger Lite Gaming?

[tropic urchin]

90 should give you extras

[paper bison]

84 ANSI
85 ISO
88 JIS

[tropic urchin]

Might be good to get a few past 90 if you’re using venom TKL

[chilly mural]

Should be enough

But yeah, going 100 is safer

[hot geyser]

What are 40g and 50g?

[paper bison]

https://tenor.com/view/take-my-money-credit-card-gif-24100661

[tropic urchin]

Spring weight

If you haven’t used 40g switches just go 50

I’d go for 50g 90 pc and add a 50g 10 pc in there as backups

[hot geyser]

This will be my first keyboard build.

[tropic urchin]

On Wooting PCB you’ll have roughly like 4-6 extras depending on your layout, venom TKL will be a lot closer to exact 90, so you’ll want some extras

[tropic urchin]

Get the 50gs, it’s mostly preference but 50g is the safer pick

[hot geyser]

🙏

[tropic urchin]

I can only press buy so many times man

[sacred elm]

That's a steal, if they're not fake

[hot geyser]

Can you recommend keycaps? @tropic urchin

[cedar gate]

The amount of force you have to put into each key for it to hit the bottom. For most people 60g will feel Slightly heavy 50g will feel around average and 40g will feel slightly light. Whether you want a heavy light or average feel is up to you

[tropic urchin]

I’d take a look at KBDFans to see if you see something that catches your eye

I can give you ideas but keycaps are usually very preference/taste related

[cedar gate]

Are you OK with your keycaps forming a patina after extended use or do you want them to look new for as long as possible

[tropic urchin]

You could hate my taste 100%

As most of this discord already does hehe

[robust siren]

varedies is salesman for the rich

[hot geyser]

idk, I asked for advice on mid-priced keycaps

[robust siren]

dont listen to him

[cedar gate]

What would be your idea of mid priced?

[robust siren]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-patrick-star-broke-poor-gif-14729256

[tropic urchin]

$40 and under is basically just buying GMK clones

[cedar gate]

Temu

[cedar gate]

And crap off amazon

[tropic urchin]

It’s tuff

[hot geyser]

For example, an expensive keycap 50 dollars, 20-25 dollars is good for me

[robust siren]

💀

[tropic urchin]

There’s going to be very very limited options in that range

[robust siren]

i got gmk stargaze clones from ali

[cedar gate]

An expensive keycap set is 300$ 20-25 you could probably get something cheap on amazon

[robust siren]

for that price

[hot geyser]

So, like I said, this is my first time building a keyboard

[cedar gate]

Yeah you can always make upgrades later if you want

[paper bison]

it’s the same link a few people here bought from so i’m considering it

[tropic urchin]

Go to Aliexpress and type in “GMK clone keycaps”

[robust siren]

i wonder how good the xray clones are

[cedar gate]

Any specific preferences or just plain white on black

[tropic urchin]

Then find the set you like and press buy pretty much

[fringe quarry]

when will gmk make good sets....

[cedar gate]

never been a GMK fan personally. Couldn't get used to the patina

[fringe quarry]

the two tone thing pmo

[robust siren]

holy60 for 44$ on ali

https://tenor.com/view/batman-thinking-gif-18107621495886085895

[cedar gate]

Can't be genuine???

[robust siren]

the title has like 3 different names LMAO

[fringe quarry]

when did the opinion on the holy change

[cedar gate]

It's always kinda been a niche case. A cool look for people who like something like that

[robust siren]

sold by

SUMREDA ONE Store

[hot geyser]

The colors are pretty good

[fringe quarry]

people just hated it and made fun of it on release

[cedar gate]

This is why I don't use Ali

[robust siren]

ive always thought it was interesting

[cedar gate]

Me too kinda

[fringe quarry]

it looked interesting but sound uhm

[cedar gate]

Not my thing personally tho

[tropic urchin]

GMK has a lot of cool sets

[cedar gate]

Dude wants a 25$ set and your sending him GMK 🤣

[robust siren]

i meannnn like whats really gonna be the difference between a real holy and a cloned holy60

[tropic urchin]

read my original recommendation

"GMK Clone keycaps"

[cedar gate]

It's specifically designed for the wooting

So a few changes to make sure everything lines up better

Kinda like with the tofu60 1.0 and the redux

[calm heath]

Whats your guys preferred typing angle?

[chilly mural]

6 degree on 80he

[thorn zealot]

i love 90 deg

[fluid ravine]

5-8 degrees

[calm heath]

Right since im still in the rnd stage
Intro s100 or vertex seal 100 for good looking full size case (there was more but it was 1800/96%)

[languid kestrel]

I don't think I really mind but the lowest 2.8° on the 80HE is what I use and it's comfy enough

[calm heath]

Tbh im only asking just because i have no clue if its possible to add adjustable feet on a aluminum case

[languid kestrel]

course it's possible

what you're thinking about though is flip-out feet

don't make it have flip-out feet

either silicone bumpons or alumoomin screw-ons

[cedar gate]

7 degree on 60% I like a high angle since I have larger hands

[sacred elm]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-shia-la-beouf-flame-gif-4445204

I think that sale is for 2 more days, so you know what to do

[cedar gate]

Good chance it's fake but 35g is super light if your not used to it

[sacred elm]

It's not 35

35g is initial force

50g bottom out

[paper bison]

hoping they're not fake lol

[sacred elm]

I doubt that they're fake. Store has very good reviews.

[calm heath]

Hmm, tbh im more split on 6° to match with wooting or find a middle ground

[tropic urchin]

unless you're buying $5 underwear from aliexpress or getting GMK keycaps for $25 its probably not fake

[paper bison]

am i fuck paying £20 shipping on kbdfans site, just praying thats kbdfans official store

[sacred elm]

Welcome to the chuch of Flux

@tropic urchin do we have the name yet

[tropic urchin]

[paper bison]

still haven't heard a sound test

this is just a gamble LOL

[sacred elm]

Sno will record it tomorrow I think

[paper bison]

[sacred elm]

or Monday

[paper bison]

bet

[tropic urchin]

they have a switch vs switch on Wuque website, but the TL;DR is that its going to be less bright than the original flux

im expecting a louder raptor v2 sound

[paper bison]

also, just bought pbtfans crosshair on there from what i HOPE is kbdfan's actual store and i didnt pay £70 for clones

[sacred elm]

KBDfans has AliExpress store, so you're fine.

[tropic urchin]

seems legit

[robust siren]

my keycaps

[paper bison]

are they good

[robust siren]

i like them and havent found a reason to buy a different set yet
though are gonna be locked into the red/white/black theme

[paper bison]

everything i have it black except my current keycaps anyway

i like monochrome bc im colorblind

its $99 cad

before the tariff tax and duties fees

https://tenor.com/view/jump-gif-18045205

[calm heath]

I pray its made out of actual jade like how cerakeys ceramic keycaps are actual ceramic

[tulip rapids]

lowkey the keycap will cost around 120-140 cad

[trail bane]

Tuff

[tulip rapids]

tuff but the dragon set is tuffer

when I have money again

[tulip rapids]

i need the keycap

this is the way

[tropic urchin]

You could fine a jade keycap somewhere else probably

[tulip rapids]

most likely

or just use the dragon esc key from the set

its bery bery nice

[sacred elm]

Yes, you can buy them.

[woven parrot]

Does it taste good

I mean sound

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I need these deep clacks

[obtuse brook]

On the site

Like any at at all last time I checked they were not there

[sacred elm]

sno will record sound tests of the most popular switches next week.

[austere creek]

what will jed do though

[sacred elm]

Jed will share his skin care routine tomorrow or on Monday. Have 205g0 ready.

[austere creek]

ok bought a 55gal drum

[ornate quest]

Tony, that won't last you more than a week

[austere creek]

i know

[paper bison]

Did you re-mortgage the crib for that?

[austere creek]

company expense

[trail bane]

Gn

[cedar gate]

If they had red on black and you could pick which keycaps you wanted I would for sure buy the kana escape

[sweet oak]

Crunch

[obtuse brook]

He better do single key testing

[sacred elm]

🤷‍♂️

[cerulean solar]

does any coiled cable works with the 80HE or do i have to buy the one from wooting ?

[ionic breach]

any should

but know that the quality of the cable matters

especially for a power hungry keyboard like wooting

[cerulean solar]

yeah; i understand

[cerulean solar]

do you have any to recommend ?

[ionic breach]

u got a budget?>

[cerulean solar]

good quality but not too pricey

[cerulean solar]

i don't rlly know the price for these

[ionic breach]

u dont have to

just a price ur willing to pay

[cerulean solar]

i say max 30 ?

[ionic breach]

probably just use wooting's default cable

[cerulean solar]

ok so i need something that cost 50 euros or more ?

[ionic breach]

as in if ur not balling out for luxury aesthetics, wooting alr has a great cable that comes with ur keyboard

[cerulean solar]

yeah, coiled cable are just esthetic

[ionic breach]

can i mention

aesthetic in photos

those things never look pretty or is nice to move around when its not put perfectly just for a photo

[cerulean solar]

yeah you're right XDDDD

so i'll keep default cable

thx for letting me know

[cedar gate]

Gotta disagree there my straight always got tangled with my other wires but My coil stays neat

[ionic breach]

ngl i cant picture that

it might just be my set up cos there no way to tangle anything

except maybe the iem

[tropic urchin]

@tawdry tree my industrial military silicone arrived in time for deep clack fire

[calm heath]

Me when theres teal in my black cable for wooting two he:

[tidal frigate]

Why not put c4 into case

[calm heath]

Imma ask, is coiled aviator style cable completely overkill or should I go for a nice braided usb c to usb cable

[glacial wind]

not sure what you mean by single key testing? You mean just sound note from one key alone?

[paper bison]

Assume so

[glacial wind]

not really sure why you would want to prioritise this, but basically it'll include a full soundtest for whole board of both the switch and a reference switch

single key test isn't honestly that useful because it's so short vs a full board test

i usually do single key test just if i'm posting a quickie discord clip or similar, but if you have the time a full keyboard clip is much more useful normally

[obtuse brook]

Here’s an example

What people do normally:

Okay no voice messages here bruh

Anyway I mean when doing single key testing do it like spam

Normal typing, slow single key and spam

Bro help me

Omg

My sister just dojsidososkskksms

[uneven cradle]

So sound tests for people who play OSU

[obtuse brook]

Bro

[glacial wind]

yeah i don't see how the single key spam adds anything really beyond really quick comparisons

[obtuse brook]

Why is mental health the worst thing

Jsjjsiskksksksksksksksk

Holy fuck

[fluid ravine]

;-;

[sacred elm]

Are you okay

[glacial wind]

i'm very confused

[fluid ravine]

indeed

[obtuse brook]

Bro

My sister just

Put a text to speech rambling about something

Like

[sacred elm]

ok

[obtuse brook]

wtf

Bro

[fluid ravine]

ok...

[obtuse brook]

What do I do

[fluid ravine]

turn it off..

[obtuse brook]

Bro

[fluid ravine]

ima be honest... not our problem....

[paper bison]

yeah this is keyboard modding not therapy

[fluid ravine]

yeah...

[obtuse brook]

Yeah

Idk

I was just recording th sound test thing and this happens

Just idk

[glacial wind]

man i keep checking the official wuque sellers and waiting to see what happens with the flux pricing

it is pretty interesting how popular the flux is within china though

interesting podcast to listen to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_XPWUvmwf8

it's interesting how norbauer separates the difference of internet commentary vs. real life

[tropic urchin]

they know ball knowledge

[glacial wind]

i've heard flux is reverse of western popularity

where it's almost as popular as jade pro/ttc kom there

wuque name goes a lot further in china i think, so they had way more adoption, whereas the western promotion of it was kind of scuffed

it's pretty crazy looking at the taobao sales and seeing 40k units sold and then contrasting to aliexpress and seeing barely double digit sales

[sacred elm]

That's sad

[tropic urchin]

they're the best $1 switch priced at $2 which will hurt people willing to try them, but hopefully the new ali prices are stay

[glacial wind]

yeah i wonder if the taobao pricing helped, because china they're more priced similar to what western pays for newest ttc stuff

so it feels maybe it didn't cross the 'wtf is this pricing' mark in china

whereas everything is more expensive on western side so we were paying $2 a switch outside of that early promo

[tropic urchin]

at this point once deep fluxes arrive they are probably going to be the only switches im willing to try until these new switches stop ruining my 45g long spring dreams

🥀

[glacial wind]

I’m surprised geon hasn’t made long he springs yet actually

[polar girder]

He said something about it

I forget what tho

[tulip rapids]

got one owlab failing on me 😔

the switch is more unstable than jayy mental health 😔

[azure kayak]

anyone got reccomendations for orange keycaps?

[tulip rapids]

Use orange spray paint on white keycaps it will save you a lot of money

[azure kayak]

currently im looking at krome keycaps orange

[tulip rapids]

bery bery nice

[random dagger]

yesterday i installed my new YIKB stabs and lubed them and still they sound a bit scratchy, any suggestions?

[fluid ravine]

how'd you lube them

[random dagger]

lubed the stem and housing walls, lubed the wire part that goes into the stab

[fluid ravine]

what switch are you using?

[random dagger]

all with gpl205 and then added some via a syringe

[random dagger]

raptor v2s

[fluid ravine]

could be the switch

swap it out with a different raptor

rq

it could be the spring crunch issue thingy, i aint sure but i would try

pick out a raptor switch that is smooth

I sort of doubt that the lubed YIKB stabs are the issue for the scratch unless it's like plate compressing onto the stab housing making it stuck or slightly scratchy. I'm using YIKB stabs myself, lubed both stem and wall including wire with 205g0 and it's smooth like a mofo. Only time there was scratch for me was depending on the switch

[random dagger]

tried rn with an owlab ti he too and it still sounds scratchy

[fluid ravine]

hmm

[random dagger]

fuck it imma swap to the base 80he plate for a test

[fluid ravine]

what board and plate

ah

[random dagger]

i have the CF place from Aliex

[fluid ravine]

you got a link?

im wondering if the dimensions of the stab cut out is big enough for YIKB

[random dagger]

https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005008042712779.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.67.35863696vebXtI&gatewayAdapt=glo2ita

[fluid ravine]

seeems fine

[fluid ravine]

does it feel scratchy? or does it just sound scratchy

[sacred jay]

hmm

is this anything

it bottoms out hard

incredible feel

or have i been living under a rock and copre isnt what you're referring to

[random dagger]

both

maybe i did not aply enoug lube idk

[fluid ravine]

ehhhh

na

even lubing the housing walls without stem should still be smooth

i wouldnt apply more lube as well cus it will become sort of sluggish

plus you also already syringed it

[sacred jay]

thing is, keycap compatibility to make this work is really fickle

[fluid ravine]

the lube from the syringe prob built up a glob on the housing wall cus of a leak

[sacred jay]

and i use ws fluxes which im pretty sure have a different shape

wow i have been living under a rock

my wallet forced me to stop caring about anything keyboard related

[fluid ravine]

lmao me too

[random dagger]

Then idk what to do

[random dagger]

Okay I applied i bit more lube on the wire and is much better

[azure kayak]

how many switches for a 60he?

[tawdry tree]

but will it actually help and still sound good is the question

[tawdry tree]

61 for ANSI and 62 for ISO.

[spiral crater]

can someone who knwos more about keyboard modding than me explain why when i put foam and a thin layer of polyfill the sound becomes chattery, but if i heap a bunch of polyfill on top of the foam it becomes clear?

i would think the more polyfill i put the more chattery and muddy it gets

[glacial wind]

Stuffing more foam or filling in doesn’t necessarily improve the sound you want basically

A lot of sound is about the air gaps and density of the filling

[uneven cradle]

you must be watching this LCK game jed

[glacial wind]

Yeah I’m at cinema for it

[uneven cradle]

very hype

[glacial wind]

That last game was very comedy show lol

[spiral crater]

GO T1 ~~~ !!!

[spiral crater]

ahhhh gotcha, thank you, ill play around some more

[fiery glen]

Would be nice to see a GenG vs HLE again

[dull ivy]

Hey, I'm about to build my first Wooting with the module. Is there anything I need to keep in mind?

Do I need additional foam if I use a different case, such as the Tofu60?

And does this tag that's always on the left side of the Wootings only come with the cases or also with the modules?

Thanks a lot

[languid kestrel]

only with the cases as it only fits the case

[reef oar]

think my fluxes arrive in around 4 days

3/4

[chilly mural]

Yay

Gotta touch grass to make the time go fast

[reef oar]

or i'll watch F1

https://tenor.com/view/hamilton-lockup-baku-2021-restart-gif-21845782

[chilly mural]

Hopefully my headphones arrive next week.

[calm pulsar]

any switch meta shifts happened

[peak breach]

It’s been barely a few days

Latest shift was the flux discount

[reef oar]

flux discount is like buying btc in 2011 if they're genuine

doubt they'd be fake

like sno said, prob either got them at like 20c each or some type of unauthorized selling

which is lowkey possible bc it's a seperate factory that makes the fluxes alone

[peak breach]

That’s a crazy comparison

[reef oar]

☠️

[glacial wind]

i hope wuque either lowers pricing or says something about it soon, otherwise I don't really know how to treat the pricing for the switch database

[tropic urchin]

Aligner would never lie 🙏🏻

For he hath saved us all from mango’s crunchy switch influence

Amen

[tropic urchin]

Your GT80 is on its way king

[humble surge]

where mine at ho

[tropic urchin]

Still at checkout since you didn’t buy it Friday night

[humble surge]

oh ok

[spiral crater]

any way to make my spacebar more poppier? its a bass drum rn but i want it to be a snare drum if that makes sense

[calm pulsar]

unironically might get a 80he module and gt80, but im on the fence about silicone gasket still

I wonder if the poron works well or is it too soft for normal use

[humble surge]

I'm now in conflict with mousepads, might delay my whole setup process xD

[tropic urchin]

only one way to find out king

[calm pulsar]

frow is nice for shouting lines in tarkov too...

[sacred elm]

lock

[calm pulsar]

all right all right

[tropic urchin]

@calm pulsar as long as you dont use soft plates you dont notice silicone that much

[calm pulsar]

shafie you can send me your 80he

[tropic urchin]

if you use FR4 mostly you gud

[ruby grotto]

Can someone help me pls

My old 60 has faulty pcb so I got new one from wooting

What do I need to do to put it in

Can I just take the keycaps and switches from old one and plug them into new one without unscrewing the prev keeb?

[sacred elm]

yes

[trail bane]

I used a poron gasket in a plastic case, I think it’s fine

[sacred elm]

Switches, keycaps and stabilizers

You have plate mount stabilizers so you don't need to disassemble the keyboard.

https://youtube.com/shorts/XzQnMCLRKwE?si=39VJYp_SemJWRQ2k

[calm pulsar]

have you used any plates from aliexpress? getting a custom one for me would be too expensive for such a small part, I wonder if there's good fr4 on ali

[sacred elm]

Keyboard fun store has good plates

[trail bane]

I actually have an FR4 for a classic 80HE from ali

[ruby grotto]

I don't have those from vid yeah

[sacred elm]

Take a photo of your stabilizers

[calm pulsar]

doing a 80he module in gt80 is gonna be refreshing, and I won't feel that bad about missing 7U cause it's a TKLish layout anyways

[tropic urchin]

beyboard bunstore dear

[calm pulsar]

no silver gt80 rn in stock tho

[trail bane]

Mine has peculiar dents that, apparently, are acceptable with QC. The only thing they affect is the aesthetic appearance.

[tropic urchin]

email em

[calm pulsar]

the dents are fine by me but the stab layout is actually so good
I thought they were still making the ugly plate mount stab cutouts lol

[trail bane]

Oh good old days… 30 POMs and fr4

[calm pulsar]

yeah usually I ask them in aliexpress chat and they restock stuff fast
I asked them to put pbtfans emma on ali and ended up not buying it

[sacred elm]

Arc, which fluxes are you ordering? Regardless of your choice, you’ll be welcomed in the Flux Church.

[calm pulsar]

I had 10 pcs of both in cart, but now that im thinking to buy 80he I might just get normal fluxes for now

a full set of em

[trail bane]

Show me someone who would NOT be welcome

[sacred elm]

You

[ruby grotto]

In my prev keeb?

[sacred elm]

Normal Fluxes are very loud and they sound weird on stiff plates

[humble surge]

wait wat, i was gonna get that next week

[trail bane]

Mofo

[sacred elm]

Yes

[tropic urchin]

on 80HE i would try to get the deep clacks

unless you want higher pitched bc they are not soft my dear lad

[calm pulsar]

they do have silver on the website in stock
on aliexpress they don't but I will aske them to restock

[ruby grotto]

This? I don't see them

[calm pulsar]

so I think its ok

[ruby grotto]

Or do I need to take off the white layer

[humble surge]

KBDFans had an AliExpress store? i had no idea

[sacred elm]

Not switches, stabilizers.

[calm pulsar]

yeah, they're from china after all, so they have an official store on there

[sacred elm]

Remove the spacebar keycap and take a photo

[humble surge]

Is it cheaper there or whats the diff?

[calm pulsar]

not sure about the price difference, but for my region (Russia), I can only order from aliexpress cause they accept my card

[humble surge]

Ahh i see, personal limitations

[tropic urchin]

@calm pulsar i would rec going deep clack if you wanna use FR4 plate with fluxies

normal on FR4 is an acquired taste and with open backs that might be the only thing you hear

[ruby grotto]

I can't take switches out

[calm pulsar]

I could just grab truthears for that

[sacred elm]

You need a switch puller.

or disassemble the keyboard and push them from the plate. you'll need PH1 screwdriver.

[tropic urchin]

🥀

[calm pulsar]

found the wooting 75he

[ruby grotto]

I don't have it

When we gonna have something to put all the switches out as the same time easily

[sacred elm]

Surely you have a screwdriver at home.

[upbeat cloak]

wtf is this

[sacred elm]

looting

[upbeat cloak]

looting 75

[calm pulsar]

it is 75 usd☠️

[humble surge]

Instant sell for MMO loot goblins xD

[upbeat cloak]

xdddd

[ruby grotto]

Yes I do

[ruby grotto]

Can I do it without the special puller

Just tell me coz I have game today

So ik to try it or not

[sacred elm]

Only by disassembling your old 60HE

Wooting has a guide how to disassemble the 60HE, it's not that hard.

[ruby grotto]

Which will take more than 1hour?

[sacred elm]

I guess that's better than having a nonfunctional keyboard.

[ruby grotto]

It functions just sometimes w strafe is active after I unpress it

Rarely

[robust siren]

if you take the top plate off the pcb, you can push out the switches with just your fingers
i recomend one of the top corners and that same side bottom corners

[ruby grotto]

Or Ctrl is stuck

ATTACK SHARK KS01 will this puller work?

[sacred elm]

I don't know what that is, but any switch puller will do the job.

[robust siren]

probably

[robust siren]

its one of these

[ruby grotto]

Just some ppl say for some other puller it dmged the switches xD

[upbeat cloak]

woah

i just use tweezers lmao?

[ruby grotto]

Ok I'll try

I have at least thing for keycaps removal

[robust siren]

pushing out the switches, you dont even need to remove keycaps lol

only the big keys needs to be removed and the ones aroudn the screws

[ruby grotto]

Wdym I can't remove switches I don't have a puller

[upbeat cloak]

what

[ruby grotto]

Should I unscrew 5 screws

Like in pcb removal tutor

[sacred elm]

Yes, follow that video

[upbeat cloak]

push the tabs inward on top/bottom no?

anything that can push those in can do the trick

[ruby grotto]

Nah

One of the screws is fked up

Can't be unscrewed

Need smaller sd I think

Ok I removed it

With sigma pressure

[upbeat cloak]

[ruby grotto]

Ok I did it now what

[ruby grotto]

What's after big bro

[robust siren]

do you have the whole moudule out of the case?

if so flip it upside down and there should be 7 screws that holds the plate onto the pcb

[ruby grotto]

Yes

Yes I have them

Should I remove them

[robust siren]

yes

once you remove it keep the pcb in a safe place

[sacred elm]

https://youtu.be/wRVnK958Tdk?si=oVM6dKb1h4dyLe0_

Skip the pcb replacement part

[ruby grotto]

Ok I removed it

[sacred elm]

ok, now push switches from the plate

remove the stabilizers and put them in your new 60HE

[ruby grotto]

How

I tried pushing in both directions didn't work

They r being held by these latches

Wait

Can I just remove white layer from new one

And put this white layer from old one in new pcb

So that I don't have to remove switched

Coz old pcb has bug so that's why I have new one

[thorn zealot]

Yeah u can unscrew the new white plate and screw back the old one with switches in em already onto the new pcb

[ruby grotto]

Yeah and unscrew back switches

From new one

To remove white layer

[robust siren]

you can do that

[ruby grotto]

Done

Wait what if I use foam from old

And new keeb in one

Layered

Will I have super quiet keeb or something

[ruby grotto]

Can I use 2 foams?

One on top of another

[sacred elm]

no

[ruby grotto]

Whyy

[sacred elm]

Because it will be too thick and your keyboard won't work properly

[ruby grotto]

Also I have this white thing

There in old but not in new one

What is it

Also wtf is this plastic film

Should I try to remove it

Wooting is putting microplastics in our pcbs

I knew it

Who is gonna be responsible for this???

[upbeat cloak]

when knobs come out i guarantee someone will swap out every key with knobs

[ruby grotto]

Wooting exposed in 16k

[upbeat cloak]

xd

[stoic ocean]

I have a gmk67 and is delivered with same film you can remove it or keep it

[next furnace]

hi, i dont like the usual 4mm of travel distance, i preffer something like the k60 has (3.2mm) what would be the best way of reducing the total travel distance on lekker switches?

[tropic urchin]

just get something with a shorter distance like Duhuk Lumia herz which has like 3.3mm travel

[robust siren]

the mmd c1 are also 3.3mm

[upbeat cloak]

whats the issue with 4mm?

[next furnace]

just dislike it, preferences ig

[sacred elm]

Just get any switch with closed bottom, it will feel better than open bottom mushy lekkers

[next furnace]

alright, i will look into those, what about o rings?

[next furnace]

hmmm, what are the differences in feel?

btw, its for playing osu basicly : P

[tropic urchin]

@sacred elm this is your moment

[upbeat cloak]

[tropic urchin]

certified OSU expert

[upbeat cloak]

[chilly mural]

nah, just use rapid trigger if you want to lift up your finger a little bit before pressing again, plus it can kinda mess with the board's calibration.

[upbeat cloak]

throwing o rings into my switches

[next furnace]

yea, i use rapid trigger, somehow, i like my non rapid trigger keyboard more 😭

[sacred elm]

Closed bottom is nicer imo. Bottoming out feels sharper, like an MX switch. I don't like Lekkers because of the open bottom, feels very mushy, almost like a membrane.

[chilly mural]

you can also set the actuation point to be static

I set mine to 3.5mm on wootility

[sacred elm]

They don't like the feel of Lekkers, that won't change anything.

[upbeat cloak]

static actuation

[next furnace]

so... what switches would you recomend?

[sacred elm]

The one that Varedis recommended above. Duhuk Herz or Owlab Ti, they're almost identical. The only difference is the spring weight, Herz is lighter.

[upbeat cloak]

heard good things about owlab ti

[chilly mural]

ti he is good

[next furnace]

alright

ill prob buy both and test them

[chilly mural]

nice nice

[sacred elm]

Just buy one of them, they're the same. If you like lighter switches, get Herz. If you want something more balanced get 50g Owlab Ti.

[next furnace]

i tend to smash the keys even with lighter switches, i like the feedback, but while doing streams in osu, lighter switches do help so maybe 50g would be better

[upbeat cloak]

was considering buying the owlab ti he switches myself

[sacred elm]

50g is nice - not too light, not too heavy.

[next furnace]

alright then, ill buy the owlab ti 50g then

should be better than what i currently have

thanks

[tawdry tree]

surely knobs won’t be $30 a piece

[chilly mural]

bold of you to assume money is going to be an issue for somebody doing that

I hope the knob are at most $10/pcs

for the bigger one, $20 is fine, its not like you can put more than 2

[humble surge]

Idk team, but knobs better hurry up

[chilly mural]

soon

60hev2 is not even released yet lmao

[tawdry tree]

the bigger one can be simpler, mechanically

I doubt $10 will be possible but hopefully

[humble surge]

Release 60HEv2 earlier so Knob Klub can have their goods quicker

[chilly mural]

still long ago, but a week feels long

[little prairie]

ur ice or thunderflash

[tawdry tree]

very similar but the latter is more stable at bottom out

[sacred elm]

Wuque Fl..

[humble surge]

@tawdry tree good evenin btw Sir o7

[little prairie]

whats that

[tawdry tree]

https://tenor.com/view/sospechoso-suspizcaz-chicken-judging-you-gif-17495234

[tawdry tree]

hi dear

[little prairie]

I just want the best looking rgbs, everything else is just a bonus

[tawdry tree]

then I’d go with C1s probably

MMD C1s off of AliExpress

[sacred elm]

Both are transparent, if the stability is your second priority then get Phylina Thunderflash

[little prairie]

idk much about switches so idk what kind of priorities I could have

[languid kestrel]

wait then why are you buying switches

[little prairie]

cause im building a keyboard

[humble surge]

I started recently aswell, i'm getting 3 different switches based on gathered information and recommendations from here

[little prairie]

yeah thats kinda what im doing

[humble surge]

And whichever performs best for me stay in

[little prairie]

I got transparent keycaps so I pretty much just want my keyboard to look good

[upbeat cloak]

exactly lmao

[tawdry tree]

the C1s are great for their price

[little prairie]

do they sound atleast ok

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[little prairie]

thanks ill look them up

[tawdry tree]

you can get a few others switches with your order as well to try out

[humble surge]

Drop the ali link aligner

[sacred elm]

Wuque Flux RGB

jk

[little prairie]

im listening

oh

[tawdry tree]

C1s, Ice Ultras and Phylinas are all pretty cheap off of AliExpress

[little prairie]

then im not

[little prairie]

why would you pick c1's

[tawdry tree]

those are the only ones that are still exp af lol

[sacred elm]

Yeah

[tawdry tree]

I like their sound profile a bit better than Ice Ultras and their top out stability is “better” as well.

Very minimal improvement though

[robust siren]

i have the c1s

[upbeat cloak]

are the fluxs even worth

[sacred elm]

You can't go wrong with either of those, just depends what's your priority.

[upbeat cloak]

or is it just for the sound?

[tawdry tree]

now they are, yeah

[humble surge]

77,52 EUR for 100pcs of Flux, not the worst i guess

[tawdry tree]

better than KoMs

[little prairie]

do you like them

[sacred elm]

Not only the sound, their feel is on another level imo.

[robust siren]

yeah though i only have raws to compare them with

[humble surge]

I just need the C1 link, cause i lost it

[little prairie]

and they dont got any friction problems do they

[upbeat cloak]

[robust siren]

not that i can feel

[tawdry tree]

not sure if these are the cheapest for you: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EHTFwwS

[humble surge]

I think this is the original you dropped weeks ago, thanks

it's cheap enough

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[humble surge]

~32,76 EUR for 110

[tawdry tree]

90/$30 is pretty good

[little prairie]

im coming from steelseries apex 7 so I guess c1s are good enough compared to these :D

[humble surge]

much appreciated, now i saved it, i alwas underestimate how hard it is to find messages on Discord the older they are

[sacred elm]

Anything will be better than that

[tawdry tree]

well, then any switch would be an upgrade lmao

[little prairie]

thanks yall

i love wooting community even though I dont have a wooting

[humble surge]

I'm switching from a Blackwidow v2 that has random cluster RGB flashes and non actuating keys, also this old Razer Green clicky is awful
I had a Z20 Optical that was great (Linear), but i had to take it out of usage.

[little prairie]

wait one more question is there any perks of having walled stem?

[tawdry tree]

bottom out stability

[little prairie]

Im looking at wootings ranking of switches

thunderflash gets s tier on bottom out

c1s got a

[tawdry tree]

this doesn’t mean that all walled stem switches have great bottom out stability or anything, but having a walled stem can increase bottom out stability

[little prairie]

but you would still pick c1s rather than thunderflash

just making sure im giving you all the power on choosing my switches

[tawdry tree]

personally, yeah. I like C1’s sound profile more

it’s a bit deeper than that of Ice Ultras and Phylinas

[humble surge]

He tried them early on, i also trust his experience with it, i'm getting a set of them myself

[little prairie]

c1s?

[humble surge]

yep

[little prairie]

cool

[tawdry tree]

and they’re an easy recommendation considering the price to performance

[robust siren]

if you want my sound test of c1 vs raws here:

[little prairie]

thanks

the rgbs did look good

[tawdry tree]

here’s a sound comparison of most popular switches right now, if you’re interested: #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[little prairie]

is the sound of he switches louder than mechanical

[tawdry tree]

nah, it just depends on the switch

[humble surge]

Certainly not louder

if you ever heard Razer Green Clickies, i don't think more annoying things exist.

Idk what i was thinking in 2016

[little prairie]

is it weird if they all sound pretty much the same to me

[humble surge]

Not weird, it just means you can decide easier based on other aspects

[little prairie]

like on rgbs lol

thanks yall again

[tawdry tree]

the sound profiles of all those switches is pretty similar, so no. it can be because of your headset/speakers too that they sound more similar.

[sacred elm]

Those sound tests aren't really accurate, just listen to Polar Pros

Then listen to Sno's sound test

Someone will think that they sound nice, but in reality they're chattery mess.

[tawdry tree]

they sound nice there, yeah

not sure why though

[tawdry tree]

any other than those that sound far of as they do IRL to you?

I agree with the Unionwells

the others sound similar enough to me tho

[sacred elm]

All of them sound deeper in his sound tests 🤷‍♂️

[tawdry tree]

eh

to me not really

[sacred elm]

Others sound fine yeah, but Polar Pros

[tawdry tree]

mine sound like that too

[sacred elm]

I need deep clackies NOW

Hate Ali eternal shipping😭

[chilly mural]

It's alright

just 1 more week

[sacred elm]

Polar Pros sound really nice there

[tawdry tree]

this guy’s Polar Pros might be enchanted ngl

or just a later batch maybe?

[tawdry tree]

weird thing about this is the bottom out

mine are chattery but not a muted bottom out like that

did anyone here get a full board of polar pros? I only got a couple

[sacred elm]

I think he's using PC plate there, maybe that's why.

[tawdry tree]

me too 🥴

[reef igloo]

hey guys I am looking at the tiger lite gaming case and one of the selections is pcb and plate, does this mean that if i select venom he pcb/fr4 plate

the case comes with both the plate and pcb

i just want to make sure because there is another option to add the venom pcb

[sacred elm]

Yes, if you select Venom/FR4 then it will come with both of them.

[reef igloo]

ok so I dont need to have the additional accessory pcb

[sacred elm]

No, those are just extras

[reef igloo]

ok thanks man

much appreciated :)

[flat cobalt]

Sometimes it takes a bigger man to admit they were wrong

I might be regretting my Cosmos purchase

[calm pulsar]

sell it on mechmarket so someone else can regret it

[flat cobalt]

No I’ll keep it, just kinda dumb when I have to look at an angle to make sure I’m about to press the right key sometimes

[chilly mural]

Soon, you'll get skill to skip all of that

[tropic urchin]

It’s a clear piece that’s at the front of the switch (North side) that lets you view the keyboard RGB

[kind helm]

It’s a clear piece that’s at the front of the switch (North side)
