somewhere out there is some insane person using jade emerald for rhythm games
I want to be that guy, but holy hell I feel like tecsee is better for me
The bump works but itâs at the very top of the switch, miles away from like an mx brown
yeah the bump position is just weird, you immediately get hit by the bump right at the start of press
Gateron failed the tactile community too, what can they do atp
Keep pumping out jade pro recolors
RIP gateron, forever be lameron in HE
Think theyâve moved onto the sparks to take advantage of WS official pricing đ
Since their Jade max $1 per switch overcharge wasnât enough for them
even flux is getting cheaper, spark is prop still $1.7/pcs?
so a whole dollar more per switch
Gateron still enforces $0.7 for normal jades on Wooting store so gl with that. Itâs all Gateron has now
Must infect the HE scene with everything dual rail âïžđ€
Remove jade from store pls
Real
with tikken being already there
hmm, I wonder how cheap lekker going to be
Quieter owlabs and normal brighter owlabs đ€
How are silent keyboards nowadays
To anyone whoâs got one
Are they still âmushyâ
do lekker switches use 18.5mm or 22mm for the springs
Lekker tikken use longer springs than other lekkers
i dunno im just trying to find alternatives for the actual wooting springs cuz i cant justify the price+shipping (mainly shipping) i believe i have lekker v1
ok good to know đ
Geon pingless springs
But if you have lekker v1 i would just recommend new switches tbh
ah
looking for 80g-90g tho
sorry wrong message
the geon only goes up to 62
with the wooting you really arent giving up a lot of control with heavier imo
i just preffer more resistance i dunno why
Iâd argue you even get more use out of stuff like continuous rapid trigger
we all using 0.15 anyway
if this is the case any good recomendations
None of those are going to have 80-90g springs unless he gets them off Aliexpress (spring gamble) or Wooting store for short spring compatible switches
true
Is that a Gauss Test results?
yep
Oh nice
wooting 60 he - tofu 60 he
haflway done lubing
stooped at like 3 am last night lmao
this really does suck
anyone know a good video to see how to replace the stabs?
@tropic urchin @sacred elm i have started le cut
Poron?
yeah
Still waiting for my pooron to arrive
wait fuck i didnt think about those 2 little bits (right of where w and left of where [ is)
meh whatever
my fluxes are in customs, poron should be too, but not updated yet
Iâve been thinking about using my PBT caps today
I think Iâm cooked
wait actually poron is together with fluxes, but plates haven't updated lol
I really find myself enjoying my build even during work lol
I think the feel could be considered better than GMK @calm pulsar
BUT GMK ABS is the pinnacle of ABS
Wooting half plate?
yeah it's probably really nice as PBT caps, since they are singluar shell and thick pbt material
Underneath it was pretty clean looking
Didnât look like a soldier with half his hand missing from WW1
I still quite like GMK, but dyesub is giving it a run for its money @calm pulsar
because double shot is more expensive to make, plus gmk's molds for legends are super crisp, only kkb is on par
wait... it seems that your switch's is southside.
yep, its geon raw he
in prep of the fluxes

i got some crazyglue
i should probably glue those 2 nubs back on
(next to w and next to [ bracket)
i mean it would be better to make the switch's window towards northside.
If they don't care about RGB, then that doesn't matter
true
i care about rgb so
yep its on northside
It's not
south facing switch is doing it like all the MX susans, even though they do it for better compatibility with cherry profile keycaps and it's not an issue in HE
oh yea, thats the wrong picture ahahahaa
i changed it to northside
because i care about RGB


nvm its empty rip 2 silicone nubbins
will switch selector come with tikken.đ€
i want clicky switches for wooting
Probably not
Yes
i there a clicky switches for wooting?
Wait it is
No
No
In 3-4 years time maybe
awwweeee
Took like 3+ years for HE tactile
clicky defeats the purpose of hall effect
forever soonđ
Real
Yeah, Tikkens and the other switches sold by Wooting will be in the switch selector
Also Gateron Sparks 
soon
This time it's actually soon
Alright Iâm screenshotting and asking Simon
Q7 2027
well the wooting is now back together

that was a fun side project
i do like sound of the edge keys more on silicone
rip 1x foam + silicone pad
Whatâs the consensus on DCF?
I kinda want to get a poron gasket for my 80he to try out
But i forgot about one thing
ISO

Jade pros with TTC POM stability (with slightly better top wobble). So if youâre looking for owlab to TTC POM upgrade youâre not getting it
Maybe iâll just try a foamless alphanumeric
good must get 
The main upside is the sound upgrade is much improved + the feel is great for a short spring switch without it being a long spring
But itâs also heavier than POM so bigsly is going to fade it, same with me and tikkens 
Yeah fr
Ok skip
Thanks! Lol
Iâm still happy with POMs. Still waiting for a generational upgrade tho
poms are stable but they sacrifice sound, there are better switches for that now
to me they dont sound too bad đ
but i like my owlabs
ngl i want something like the ttc poms but like owlab sound lmao
or just ttc poms but they are expensive đ
Sounds like you need Fluxes
but rather not deep clacks
Will the tikkens come as default with new 80he orders ?
So will need to order module and tikkens then

Tikkens going to be good for fps ? Or just preference
Preference
Yeah thatâs not going to happen since POM/Flux/Raptor is already pushing the tightness envelope. And the tightness of the raptors has proven issues.
Only marginal gains from this point onward and will have to pivot towards better sound/overall feel
Theyâre the same stability as flux but with worse sound
what is it like A-S ?
They were the original stability kings and shifted the meta away from Raws this February
how are the non deep clacks
pom isnt factory lubed?
Same as DCF only thing changing is sound and one is more pink now
No
oh i didnt even know that
Technically yes but they might as well have not
would non deep clack be a bit closer to owlab
They are bright, but they are like an 11/10 for loudness
how is owlab for loudness
getting them just to annoy my parents đ€Ł
When heâs around
htey hate the loud ones they prefer like jades and lekker v2s cause more muted
which i get where theyre coming from
but after trying owlabs
i completely changed my opinion
What's wrong with deep clack
i like the owlabs sound
deep clacks sound great too though
My Beast X Pro is now in hostage somewhere in Poland
is that a amouse?
Yea, deep clack is not actually "deep". They're still very bright sounding, especially on FR4 and other stiffer plates
ohh
so would it be more similar to owlabs?

Btw I need your expert thoughts about those deep clacks
yea sounds pretty nice
I only believe in your and @tropic urchin opinion
I think they should be good on copper plate or at least Iâll build Rakka Atlas with them
I like them. Probably the best all-rounder, great sound, stabilityâs similar or better than the TTC POM, and it doesnât have that giant box stem feel
You feel nothing when you bottom out
Price is ok too if you buy from aliexpress
@tropic urchin @sacred elm
ima pick em up on saturday
soju?
When are you getting Fluxes?
alc?
should be this week
as theyre in my city
but no stated delivery date yet
Eternal shipping
use the keycaps as little cups to drink soju out of
People really warmed up to $2 switches, and in this economy no less 
I still wanna try them but I don't wanna take out a second mortgage
They're cheaper on Ali
$1/pc for US
What do you want to know
Oh, alright well I should shaddup then, that's what I paid for my KoMs
ok yeah I checked a sound test and i know they arent fully accurate but non deep clack fluxes sound brighter than owlabs
In this economy smh
Regular Fluxes are probably the loudest switches
Your only two good options for plates are PC (yuck) and FR4
If you go normal flux route
ill probably go deep clack but i do wanna hear the difference
Itâs like trying to nerf the hulk
between normal and deep
How much are they for you? https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009888870031.html
For 90
Whatâs 70
Hmm, other listings should be cheaper
84
Actually thatâs not too far off
I'm also not logged in atm
Its so sad, to see all these beautifull Keyaps.
For the german Iso layout, u cant find much and if u find something, i think the look all the same đ
Everything 
Same deal logged in - well a couple bucks more but y'know
If you liked Jade pros, they are quite literally end game
Theyâre deeper Jade pros but have the stability of a King
regulars arent too bad lol
Hell no
Theyâre a louder version of the raptors
Better send me back to Ukraine
which one would you say is closer to owlabs sound
I don't have owlabs
ah ok
QWE DCF, ASD normal
Youâll see it irl donât worry
true
I think it's because of the phone recording, irl they're so different
Yeah
That was on FR4 but if you have it on low volume then itâs not going to be similar
Yeah if you want bright get the OGs
This is more accurate, but still phone makes it sound deeper
But you might Not get the $1 discount
irl they sound brighter
yea i cant seem to find one :(
i could just get the deep clacks
cause i like clack
but not extreme highs
of clack
but i do like my owlabs đ
@rotund perch use polyfill with DCF on CF plate and itâll be a lot clackier
Deep clackies sound nice on FR4 and CF plates
could i use fr4? i dont want very stiff plates
cheaper
Wonât be louder tho
Itâll sound fine on FR4
Drop the link
yea i dont need it to be very loud
i was joking about the family annoyance part
it would be funny though
i dont really know the difference for polyfill and foam and kilmat
Butyle on top for me
never heard of that
ohhh
for my keyboard i buy mlv is overkill like the kilmat lol
kilmat is like for the thockiest right
Yup
most aggressive sound dampening
i think ill just use stock foam lol
as stated above, used in cars
cause im p sure the stock foam is good
dcf sounds so hollow
Now try tikkens
All DCF is normal but 1-3 notches below default with a more jade pro profile, so whatever you hear via iPhone isnât going to be what you experience irl @polar girder
POMs are the kings of hollowed out sound
truly the hollow knight of switches
I mean
they're peak
just look at them
pink automatically adds ten to the score out of 100
thats not soju
Iâm not a fan of the pink, but you canât have it all in this life
this is soju
Whereâs the white grape soju smh
plumb or peach if any
oh novelties restocked
lowk i dont like the side text prints on it but i think i can live with it
been growing
on me
real shit
that's gonna be me in like
4 days
qwq
custom building a board for the girl and the stock stabs were doodoofart on the board I plan to gift her đ
they feel mushy and awful
I didn't even try and fail to tune them they're just trash
I tried picking them apart to see if I could do anything and my attempts were futile :(
are they stock?
3 hours 
I couldnât find a screwdriver
And then I couldnât figure out how to put it together cuz the replacement didnât come with instructions so I took apart the stock and tried to figure it out
Spacebar is possibly overlubed tho is that gonna spread or do I need to redo it
If itâs rly bad then redo it but if u only slightly overdid it then it will get better overtime
In my experience at least
I donât think itâs crazy just feels sticky I think
If the rebound isnât too slow then I think u can just use it overtime
@tulip rapids
Yeah itâs not insane
26 switches left omfg

not my cup of tea
i bet these will feel so ass đ
yeah you would degen
banned from wooting modding
not even a wish from the dragonballs can fix this one đ đ„
ayooo

So are the HMX Gamer Fuels a recolor? Trying to scroll back and find where I read that.
i think so
@night atlas is the expert on the matter
visually looks just like the astrolink's or raptor v2's design
Yes they are
As a (not) proud owner of Astro links, hmx gf, and raptor v2
i tried the switchy game and i got so mad i tackled my chair to the floor
agreed, lack of battlepass and skins in this game is infuriating
ong why cant i gamba in the game
also silksong is so peak
and i can say that i beat pre nerfs đ€ âïž
the holy father has returned
The holy father is tired. Long story but me and my team were sold to another company but are still also supporting the old company, so I'm working two jobs the last 2 months...
i shall pray for you

do you at least get double the pay?
đ
No, not even a single penny more even though the change came with a promotion...
OH MY GOD ITS DONE
AND THE KEYBOARD STILL WORKS SO I DIDNT BREAK IT
lfg
success
i pray to never do that again
so much modding
those greedy bastards
congratz on the promotion though
Lowkey might pick the game up later in winter
have u played the og
Naw
why not play og first
Wait where I find
Took a whole day and a night
Cus lowk my friend got me interested so idk much abt it
if silksong is goin to be ur 1st metroidvania/soulslike-ish game then u might struggle
playin the og will help a bit
Yeah was told that 
Alr
the first one is called Hollow Knight, and the second with Silksong added to it
og is just as great of a game, but might be a better choice before trying silksong
both are equally amazing in terms of love put into themđč
i love hk for its simplicity, and i love silksong for its depth
cant forget about 9 sols for fun atmospheric platformerđč
đš đš DEEP CLACKY IS BELOW $80 FOR 90 đš đš đŁïž đ„ đ„ đ„
the tutorial for silksong is hollowknight, highly recommend playing the original before you dive into the hell of the sequel
it's always been that though since the first drop
i'm still wondering if wuque is going to do an official price drop or what though, because it's a bit silly having to tell people to go buy from aliexpress instead of official stores
maybe they are cooking up a new switch with longer spring and trying to profit while they can
they're definitely cooking up a new switch, i've heard that from few folks. No idea when that will launch though
I'm in the US, anyone have recommendations on stem spacers I can get that won't have a $28 shipping fee? I was looking at the ones geon makes
Pester divinikey to restock 
what's that?
Geon Stem Spacer is used on top of the switch stem or stabilizer stem to balance long-pole switches (3.0-3.5mm travel) when paired with standard stabilizers (4.0mm travel) to reduce interference. This is a great option when switching between different switches with different travels and not needing to disassemble the b
ah damn
any others that could be in stock? I just got fucked by dhl express having a $50 import fee that I didn't know about beforehand when I ordered a glass mousepad lol
divinikey ships from within the US
I was pretty sure it wasn't a scam bc it showed up on their website when I put in the tracking number
the spacers they have seem out of stock
uhh they have a discord you could ask in or contact support to see if they got stock
alr I'll check that
or you can just join and they ping when they restock stuff
I see
Whatâs the general recommendation on stabs these days, swagkeys knights v4?
Iâve got those and Iâm happy with them but not exactly sure on whatâs the âbestâ
yeah
knights has always been good, or well pretty much any are good
some might require a little tuning
YiKB is the best, without a doubt
gmk
the stock ones do have a texture tho
not sure what other sets have that aswell
Abs: gmk, sp, keykobo
Pbt: gmk mtnu, Kbdfans, Keyreative, Nicepbt
New stabs đ
these are actually so nice, I'm honestly blown away by the difference in them compared to the stock stabs on the board
Sounds clean
stock stabs often require a proper lube to match those. Main advantage of aftermarket is it's easier to tune with very light lube
what stabs did you buy?
Hi there!
So I have a more hardware related question.
I designing this 3D printed handwired MIDI keyboard using wooting lekker switches. I am quite happy with it and want to develop it to full size. For this I will be making my own pcbs, does anyone know if theres a kicad/eagle component or similar that I can use to help position the switches on the pcb?
Polar recolour once again
Hi Hannah, this post will likely be lost in this channel before the right people see it. I suggest posting in either #1019755933959733258, #đ€âcommunity_dev, or #đčâanalog_midi_feedback
Oblo shipment coming tomorrow 
holy80 looks nice but costs a leg
cheap ass leg
Deep clack is safer for most
Regular Flux is so loud
Anyone know where to buy custom keycaps?
fully custom keycaps or just different keycaps to customize your board
both ig
im looking to get a purple themed keycaps
same but the one i really like is sold out đ
that sucks but are there any more gradient close to purple?
PURPLE?
https://keycaplendar.firebaseapp.com/previous take a look through here or https://oblotzky.industries/ here to see what is out there atm
do they ship in the ph or exclusively to the us
you can also look at https://kbdfans.com/collections/pbtfans
you may be able to find regional vendors
oblotzky is a EU based vendor but there are SG based as well out there
kbdfans is based in china
imma see if they ship to the ph
could also check this list here https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/
https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-cyl-dragon-witch i love this set but its unavailable at the moment 
looks good
PBTfans Purpolch R3 encapsulates an elegant combination of purple and the Dolch colorway we know and love. Now back with its third round. Estimated Ship Date: Late October 2025 Inspiration: Purpolch is back! Originally inspired by the classic Dolch colorway, this variation adds a splash of royal purple. Developed with
nvm its not pupurite its purpolch r3
not as good as dragon witch 
in stock sale
if u want something out there
but its a gb
nope, not clicking
anything that says gmk and sale with a link is how you end up spending money
lucky i don't buy gmk anymore after i sold my older ones because I have acid sweaty sweaty ew ew hands that destroys abs faster than most people
so only abs set i have left is the red domikeys which i bought just because they were semi transparent
kap on top
i found the one problem with 16mm lens @ionic breach
it's so wide that I need specific vnd for it that is thin to not show vignetting when stacked, because I already use a diffusion filter on all my video
the thing is I have a 1-5 that works fine, it's a mid range kf concept one
but i need 6-9 because it's f1.8 and in bright sun you need more than 5 stops for that
and I want cpl as well built in because it's just nice to have it as an option
the problem is my requirements rule out nisi which is the nicest vnd/cpl right now, cause it needs 2x stack to reach 6-9, so the only good one left is polar pro, but my poor wallet
polar pro the only guys doing super thin vnd+cpl 6-9 stops, but man, their filters are 5x the cost of everyone else lol
yeah their slings are great. I almost bought one when I was in singapore at tkfoto, but i held off to buy the nice wotancraft one when I'm in taiwan later this month
how good is urth
raptor v2 got spring noise lol
rip
your ones?
yep
i mean i cant hear it from normal distances
but like holding them up right to my ear
you mean the crunch or just spring noise?
oh that's not the same thing, that's just spring ping
you have to manually lube to get rid of that usually
seems like owlab did that better
but if you can't hear unless you put it right up against your ears then i wouldn't worry about it
bottom out and wiggle it
isnt geon known for pingless springs đ
those aren't pingless springs inside them stock
Sno did you do more sound tests?
pingless springs are different
cheaping out...
yeah i have an owlab one done too waiting for marco to upload it for me
Oh
then tomorrow i'll lightning round do the rest of the recommended
Spazza!
what does crunch sound like
if you have to ask then you don't have it yet lol
Typical italian
it's basically your spring physically crunching
Grateful my raptors haven't shit themselves
i have the most cursed setup right now though
half flux half owlab
because i replaced just the switches i needed for my typing sample
can u do a lekker v1 in 60hev2 soundtest
yeah eventually will, but it's not high on priority list since almost no one will be doing that combo

kf concept had some sale so i bought 3x diffusion filters so my laziness of not needing to swap filters around for each shot is maximised now
i gotta get magnetic filters
see the problem with magnetic filters is you're limited to only the filters they offer
so you better love black mist because that's basically the main one all of them provide lol
Does korea have döner kebab
that's why i've stayed screw in, because then you can use any filters you like still
yeah we have halal guys
the popular kebab chain
Kebab is not halal tho
i'm not sure what that has to do with the chain
Well definetly good kebab has to be made by kebab shop
Otherwise you get shitty meat
Oh like one doner u got 30kg up to 100kg of meat depends on place
hope this is the last time for a while ill have to change out all switches
but there's the new hit kdrama about genies and wishes that can be watched while changing switches
đ
i forget how clacky owlab ti he are when i don't use them for awhile
they really do clack loudly lol
yes..
lets gooo
cant decide between holy80 and gt-80 for this build

either way import tax is gonna be a BITCH
well holy 80 is twice as expensive but if you like the look of it more than just go for it
Same
As holy80 user⊠GT-80
what you dislike about it?
A love it
Yeah, and top mount(soft plates gang*)
i plan to go for fr4 so
@robust siren I think my extra DCF arrives soon too
is it that bad đ€Ł
Well, I used a copper plate just fine, so yeah itâs more of a canonical preference
maybe i really should eventually get dcf's
Wait did you change your pfp and your status to ultracrepidarian đđđ
Iâm crying
Great case, no complaints at all. The GT-80 is more versatile since itâs more predictable and allows for any kind of build (with foams, without dampening, etc.). If I had the chance to choose again between the Holy80 and the GT-80, Iâd go with the Holy80
I like the Holy more because you can really add some style by getting a custom tape mod then itâs just pure flex
đ€š
my status was like this for like 3 days
how important is pcb to switch distance đ€
would a distance increase of 0.1mm result in a changed actuation point
or can it calibrate itself to adjust to that
Gonna order one of the 2, with some PBTFans Crosshair for the ultimate basic bitch black build, but no regrets

KBDFans doesn't collect VAT so fuck knows how much it's gonna cost me when it gets here in thbe UK, I don't think there's any duties with keyboard stuff but they will charge me 20% VAT plus whatever fees the courier charge LOL
Those are knight v4s
If your order is under 150 they wouldnât charge you with additional payments
But always better to triple check and ask their customer support
Hype
they will have to pay VAT no matter what. the question is if KBDFans can collect it or not
VAT is charged on all except gifts under ÂŁ40, everything above ÂŁ135 is subject to import fees
Oh yep, indeed I meant something completely different, so nevermind
Anyways
Oh shoot whereâs my carrying case
scammed
yeah they didnt even texture the entire thing
ngl i might just keep the zinc case from wooting and replace the caps
well guess i can pack up for today. did my job for today
whats this
should i try to lube my jade max or is the sticking inherent to the material and I should just give up? has anyone tried before?
i think its cause its pc on pc
is there still an issue on the bottom plate?
Huh?
i had an beast x but the bottom part wasn't flat
that is an aggressively orange mouse
Nah looks like itâs flat
good
pairs well with the new iphone pro i bet
i think the new iphone is not for me
sadge
ok but why are you telling me this
how is your mouse flourescent
idk
i made a joke/observation that the orange iphone would be similar to the orange mouse and you were never part of the conversation
my bad
They have the new Jade air but idk how good it is
Supposed to be the Jade max replacement iirc but I wouldnât put it past Gateron 
Might be worth it to get the MMD C1s @quick finch
the main point i want them for is the transparent stem which seems basically impossible :p
Ah
i have ur ice ultras rn
L*ateron
ill try and make a video of why the transparent stem would be nice for me specifically\
anyone used the sw knights v4
with transparent PC keycaps and frost case, you can very clearly see the opaque stem obstructing the LEDs when you press down on the key
Canât have nuffin in this life with these switches đ„
Just when you think you have the perfect build thereâs always 1 thing that prevents it from getting to the perfect 10
fr
Jade max â> sticking, POM â> bad sound + shitty RGB, OG Flux â> strong magnet (less of an issue), raptor v2 â> spring crunch city, DCF â> pink đ
Anything by Gateron â> overpriced for what you get
yes i realise this is extremely nitpicky
ill put on a couple max's to see the difference
I think lube will help, but they'll eventually get sticky again
oh noooo pink
a clear stem would help but i think you'll still have the spring adding some shadows regardless
unionwell has a polar pro variant that's fully clear
well except the bottom half of the stem
hi im buying the wooting 80he module w the zinc alloy case, raw switches and gmk blue samurai ABS keycaps
should i also look into buying a foam, lubing the switches and other shit? (im not sure if this is a big difference as its my first build)
switches come with a decent prelube
foam also comes preinstalled in the module and with the case
You might end up making some changes along the way as your taste/vision might change (new keycaps, switches, new switch plate etc) so I wouldnât sweat it atm. Raw stock lube is good, default foam as well.
Maybe looking into different switch plate materials might be beneficial depending on what you want since PC plate will be rather soft, but I wouldnât get too crazy until you figure out what you like/donât like and want to change it a bit
what about anything else like stabilizers or anythingi cld be missing thats crucial for a keyboard build!
Stock Stabilizers are fine
Perfect stabilizers you wonât notice, so itâs not a crucial upgrade unless yours need lube or need to be properly straightened
perfect, so this should be enough for the moment?
hey wootingers i need some quick advice
whats the best way to clean pbt keycaps? i have a 60he+ and been using it every day for about a year and a half
some keys are super worn out, have immense gloss on them but i think the texture is fine underneath, dunno if its oil from fingers or what but i cant clean it
its super hard to clean it just stays on the keycap no matter what
Yeah you should be set. Overtime as your tastes/preferences changes, you might want to change somethings around like I said, but youâll need some time to see if thatâs something youâd want.
send some pics pls
i also responded to your thread about the stabs but i think it may be better to talk it out here
I think thatâs just natural keycap shining. I usually dump mine into a bowl with some warm water and a little dawn dish soap and make sure it fully dries
Can happen with PBT, but not as much as GMK/other ABS iirc
where can i send pics? is it allowed here?
thanks for the help guys
also yeah these are pbt not abs but the wear looks like abs wear which is weird, dw i keep my hands clean 24 7 im not unhygienic
and my hand isnt that heavy
Yeah send it here is fine
is shine gonna be a big issue with GMK?
If itâs prominent on your most used keys, itâs most likely shine if you canât clean it
It just makes it feel more smooth for GMK keycaps
the wear on the keycaps has more to do with your natural skin oils and sweat etc not really much you can do about it other than wear gloves or something
It starts off little coarse and overtime it starts to feel more smooth @hoary aspen
why does this sound like a good thing in a bad way
Itâs not bad, some people have other preferences, but you wonât get around natural wear on keycaps
ah is it generally for GMK keycaps they smoothen instead of just shine?
u see the slight glossy texture? it feels that way too
that looks like classic keycap wear
shift key is glossy on left side cuz thats where i use it in games
they look pretty clean otherwise
ye ik its just my most used keys tbf, wasd and space/shift/ctrl
yeah not much to be done there its just how plastic reacts to your skin oils etc
can it be cleaned?
Itâs the same thing, but it gradually happens over time to the surface. Happens more for ABS which GMK is, but I wouldnât sweat it. GMK keycaps are a great feel + crisp legends
what are these cutouts for? not sure if i should keep them on my cf plate
alignment
You could try the dish soap method in warm water, but since you said it doesnât come off no matter what youâve tried, youâll probably need new keycaps if itâs bothering you.
i would keep them just in case
i actually havent tried dish soap in warm water i just used a slightly wet paper towel but i understand i might be dumb when i said i tried a lot xd
the keycaps im buying (samurai) are a collab between redsuns and GMK, i am not sure if i should be alerted
so its safe to put in dish soap and water
the keycaps can take some dish soap and water
just dont put the whole keyboard in it
obv not hahaha
Iâd recommend some warm water and a little bit as you soak the keycaps
Then make sure itâs dry
ok thanks ill leave it to dry for a day atleast just to make sure
have to use a different keyboard in the meantime
also be 100% certain that the water is NOT hot or it might mess with the plastic's shape
This is my GMK set that Iâve used for over a year and Iâve had no issues despite it becoming smoother
ye lukewarm i guess
no need just dry it with a paper towel
maybe room temp or a bit higher
Yeah paper towel is goated
will do thanks guys
that set looks sick dude
still a very pretty set
Or maybe have it on a towel and let it dry
i moreso meant like, is it gmk or redsuns that manufactured the keycaps in that case since its a collab
also wiz thank u for replying to my other issue man ill send the video of the spacebar thing later
i am considering changing things up and using a different set of keycaps on my 80he
will it be lower quality if redsuns did? i dont understand how the collab works
u guys are super nice
It was hard to swap off lazurite for salt lake but I love both sets now
Oh, where did you buy it from or whatâs the website
its from amazon but the set is called redsuns x GMK blue samurai
Im pretty sure its a collab
so im not sure who manufactured it
DROP redsuns x GMK specifically
How much was it
what should i use on my gray gt-80: Miclan, botanical, cosmos (using this one rn), bingsu, beige (maybe with some dualshot accents) or sloth (coming tomorrow)
180 usd but its way more expensive cus i live in USE
UAE
im guessing around 100 usd US
amazon đ„
sloth
ong
it was either that or 30 day shipping
illjs build the keyboard next year
đđđ
i got 2 day shipping from oblotzky over here 
hmmmm
The one I found on Amazon said it was made in Germany for the drop x redsun GMK blue Sam
maybe
is that a good indication?
GMK is German
thoughts on this? @tropic urchin
Made in Germany
i have too many keycaps i realise
nahhhhh
Iâll give you one in like 20-30 mins when I have a chance to conceptualize the options
u have too less keyboards
oh great, thank you i appreciate all the help
true i should get more boards
I think you should be ok, but havenât bought keycaps from Amazon
ngl the neo65core plus looks kinda good with the mont blanc
might throw sloth on that or beige
i just checked product details (designed by redsuns manufactured by GMK)
Does someone uses the he80 keebmat and can share a photo ? đ
yes 1 sec
well actually i bought the red samuraiâs novelties set by accident which i was planning to return
but im thinking if it would look okay with blue samurai set instead of returning
Not 80HE fitted, but I got the TKL emgi
i love the colours on that looks really cool
That could be cool for contrast
i love rhe second pic
I think it could work for a blue/red accent theme
Is this light, medium or dark grey?
Hmm, Iâm wondering if I should order or maybe the 75/100% one đ
what is that escape key btw?
medium
the keyboard case is gray kbdfans gt-80
Opal artisan keycap
that looks pretty cool how much is a single piece looks expensive
$225 iirc
@stray tiger warned me and I had to have it 
But you will use it without your deskmat donât you?
WTH
did u bind ur esc key to another key
to avoid using that keycap
i would of đ
Nah
i use both
Itâs made to be pressed
i like deskmat for comfort
Opals arenât cheap hehe
Aaah, good to see that. Did you wanted it a bit bigger? I donât know right now with which version Iâll go
is the sound profile very different
When I got it the 80HE version wasnât available for whatever reason
Iâd say so
Itâs a weird thocky sound that canât be replicated by other keys
Itâs mostly for the vibe
i do also think that having the keebmat on top of the deskmat helps isolate my keystrokes from the shitty ass glass desk i have
Was considering to go for a keebmat + mousepad (as artisan isnât available as a big deskmat..).
what switches do u have?
Yeah I bet they do
i feel like artisan deskmat would be a little weird and a waste đ
Deep clack flux
oh yeah thise sound nice i did see them in a comparison video
what do you think of the rawâs
If it looks good itâs never a waste đ
They were good a year ago
Other option would be lgg
w red novelties and blue samurai set
If you have nothing to compare them to for reference you wonât notice any differences
Still are decent switches but better ones are available for stem wobble etc
i do have the woothing 60he lekkers from my first keyboard
love me some double Z keys
its a reference pic đ
i knowww
perfect way to sum up chat
@hoary aspen
Yeah
although it looks a little uncomfortable to press
Iâm using CF plate for reference too
Nah itâs just a larger surface
And much different feel

hey, ive got a problem where my "enter" key is stuck in the pressed position, i took the key off and saw this, can anyone help me ?
clean
- can you take a pic with flash on so we can see everything a little better?
- are you able to remove the switch
DCF
i just got i fixed, it was with how the stabalizers were created they were on different levels, after changing so the are on the same it works as intended
fun
man raptors sounds so much better then owlabs
Until god curses you with the crunch
thats the beginning of the crunch
rip
I should check mine, u haven't gone through and tested every key in detail, but should in case I feel some resistance
sound test saturday

crunch v2 
My poron arrives on Saturday 
For combined wobble yeah
Basically is a rock top wobble
damn
quick question how tf do i get to the FN layer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE-kTYmW-vw
when will wooting? i want a wooting x moonlander đ
IMPORTANT Looks like this is currently marked down to $379.99. Not a lot cheaper, and I don't know how long this pricing lasts, but every little bit helps if this is something you've been interested in.
I finally got to spend some quality time with the Falcata gaming keyboard from ASUS ROG. Its a dream spec - split compact 75%, hall effect,...
Wootility > Remap > Fn Layer?
ye but like how do i get my keyboard to go to fn layer 1
hold fn
that don't do shieeet
does for me đ€·
do i have to activate it or somethin
moon who?
Moon Who?
Like never?
lol
SO REAL
Iâve wanted a split HE board for a while now
Used to have a hardwired one (I didnât create it) before I went HE
split keyboard > split space
i loved to play on this a splitkeyboard from wooting would brring that back to the future đ
and this was one of my most fabvvort keyboards.. spllit would solve both đ
looks like one of my older keyboards just that initially it wasnt split..
that one was a beaty some old hardware realy where nice at the time
I want to build my wife an Alice layout
I just donât know any low profile enough
She has an Apple keyboard at the moment
Never has to be plugged in. Light and low profile af
Curious on peoples thoughts on silent switches for the Wooting.
How does it perform for gaming?
All I have done with my Wooting is lube the original Lekker L60 with a 50g spring change.
they just hafe silicon in the bottm and feel a bit mjushy buttomed out else its all the same
do we have to worry about wootility settings being out of whack or its not precise anymore?
that i cant answer i asume though it will calibrate itself
ok that is what im most curious about
didnt even know there are silent switches for hall effect type keyboards
Check the note below silent switches
i think alice is replaced with split nowadays too oldstyl,e
ohh how cool and thanks for that! do we have to worry about Wootiltiy adjustments with silents?
The keyboard will automatically adjust but still not recommended to use the most sensitive settings.
like how do we auto adjust exactly?
I am on the website but cant find the sounds?
sno havent uploaded sounds for every switch yet
You just put the switches in your keyboard and it will auto-calibrate, you don't have to do anything.
Sound tests will be available soonâą
ok thats so crazy
thanks for letting me know
i was worried about changing switches
So get her split instead?
Like moon lander? Lol
never your head will get chopped off
except if your wife is a tech eenthusiast:P
No need to worry, as long as the switches are compatible, youâre good.
Nah get your wife a custom
Thanks for the rec
Ah damn
lol
Was thinking Neo Ergo
But so steep
I like the Alice but also the tenting
i'm sorry but its so ugly
True might as well get a lena at that cost

Nope, top wobble was always A-
If youâre getting v2, then wait. Tikkens will be 50% off with the v2 module.
Hell yeah

Yo that comes with plate and hot swap PCB??
yeah
I like Mictlan and Bingsu (nice set for more colors) others are good but I think those two are my favs of that list ( cosmos also works too but not being listed since its the default atm).
will we get a discount for titons when weve bought a keeb in the past 
(id assume so)
i'll probably keep my cosmos artisans on tho
and my cosmos spacebar cause i dont have the mictlan space bar

this set is so đ„”
ok
roblox ahh keycap set
dont make fun of gregory
god damn the stanceworks custom f40 is sexy as fuck
Maybe 20% discount but I'm not sure
(too late, already had dcf delivered)
So doodoo? Agreed.
this isnt, this is gas
full custom tubed chassis with an ORIGINAL f40 shell

odd looking keyboard
day 100 of turning keyboard modding into car modding

no, some people here live in a place where car is very annoying to keep

can i get a role saying i single handedly took down the keyboard modding channel
