jade emerald gauss tested by bilibi guy

glacial wind
#

somewhere out there is some insane person using jade emerald for rhythm games

chilly mural
fallen pecan
#

The bump works but it’s at the very top of the switch, miles away from like an mx brown

glacial wind
#

yeah the bump position is just weird, you immediately get hit by the bump right at the start of press

tropic urchin
#

Gateron failed the tactile community too, what can they do atp

fallen pecan
#

Keep pumping out jade pro recolors

chilly mural
#

RIP gateron, forever be lameron in HE

tropic urchin
#

Think they’ve moved onto the sparks to take advantage of WS official pricing 💀

#

Since their Jade max $1 per switch overcharge wasn’t enough for them

chilly mural
#

even flux is getting cheaper, spark is prop still $1.7/pcs?

#

so a whole dollar more per switch

tropic urchin
#

Gateron still enforces $0.7 for normal jades on Wooting store so gl with that. It’s all Gateron has now

#

Must infect the HE scene with everything dual rail â˜ïžđŸ€“

chilly mural
#

Remove jade from store pls

tropic urchin
#

Real

chilly mural
#

with tikken being already there

tropic urchin
#

Or atleast with like owlabs

#

Which is like bare min imo

chilly mural
#

hmm, I wonder how cheap lekker going to be

tropic urchin
#

Quieter owlabs and normal brighter owlabs đŸ€“

How are silent keyboards nowadays

#

To anyone who’s got one

#

Are they still “mushy”

true lodge
#

do lekker switches use 18.5mm or 22mm for the springs

rotund perch
#

22mm

#

lekker tikkens

#

or lekker v1/2s?

little glen
#

Lekker tikken use longer springs than other lekkers

true lodge
#

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

rotund perch
#

ok good to know 😭

little glen
#

But if you have lekker v1 i would just recommend new switches tbh

true lodge
#

ah

true lodge
#

sorry wrong message

#

the geon only goes up to 62

little glen
#

Heavy spring enjoyer

#

Nice

true lodge
#

with the wooting you really arent giving up a lot of control with heavier imo

#

i just preffer more resistance i dunno why

little glen
#

I‘d argue you even get more use out of stuff like continuous rapid trigger

fringe quarry
#

we all using 0.15 anyway

true lodge
tropic urchin
#

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

I think I’m cooked

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 HEdogekek

i changed it to northside

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

polar girder
#

What’s the consensus on DCF?

little glen
#

I kinda want to get a poron gasket for my 80he to try out

#

But i forgot about one thing

#

ISO

tropic urchin
little glen
#

Maybe i‘ll just try a foamless alphanumeric

robust siren
tropic urchin
#

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 it’s also heavier than POM so bigsly is going to fade it, same with me and tikkens havo

polar girder
#

Yeah fr

#

Ok skip

#

Thanks! Lol

#

I’m still happy with POMs. Still waiting for a generational upgrade tho

rotund perch
#

ngl the poms dont sound bad

#

how is their stability in a tierlist

calm pulsar
#

poms are stable but they sacrifice sound, there are better switches for that now

rotund perch
#

to me they dont sound too bad 😭

#

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 😭

sacred elm
#

Sounds like you need Fluxes

polar girder
#

Yeah I enjoy POM sound

#

It’s not bad

rotund perch

Will the tikkens come as default with new 80he orders ?

Tikkens going to be good for fps ? Or just preference

Preference

tropic urchin
#

Only marginal gains from this point onward and will have to pivot towards better sound/overall feel

tropic urchin
rotund perch
#

what is it like A-S ?

tropic urchin
#

They were the original stability kings and shifted the meta away from Raws this February

No

oh i didnt even know that

Technically yes but they might as well have not

rotund perch

how is owlab for loudness

tropic urchin
#

They’re bright but not to that degree

#

I’d maybe ask Sno for a side by side

rotund perch

getting them just to annoy my parents đŸ€Ł

tropic urchin
#

When he’s around

rotund perch
#

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

sacred elm
rotund perch
#

deep clacks sound great too though

trail bane
#

My Beast X Pro is now in hostage somewhere in PolandSwitchySippy

sacred elm
#

Yea, deep clack is not actually "deep". They're still very bright sounding, especially on FR4 and other stiffer plates

rotund perch
#

so would it be more similar to owlabs?

trail bane
rotund perch
trail bane
#

I only believe in your and @tropic urchin opinion

rotund perch
#

well i will have my owlabs for now

#

maybe deep clacks eventually

trail bane

I think they should be good on copper plate or at least I’ll build Rakka Atlas with them

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

tropic urchin
sacred elm
rotund perch
#

and then i can annoy my family

#

good trade

tropic urchin
#

Your only two good options for plates are PC (yuck) and FR4

#

If you go normal flux route

rotund perch

ill probably go deep clack but i do wanna hear the difference

They’re deeper Jade pros but have the stability of a King

rotund perch

theres a slight difference

#

not a huge one though

tropic urchin
rotund perch
#

true

sacred elm
rotund perch
#

cuz i love the sound of my owlabs

#

but if it has S stability then

tropic urchin
#

That was on FR4 but if you have it on low volume then it’s not going to be similar

#

Yeah if you want bright get the OGs

sacred elm
# sacred elm

This is more accurate, but still phone makes it sound deeper

tropic urchin
#

But you might Not get the $1 discount

sacred elm
#

irl they sound brighter

rotund perch
rotund perch

i could just get the deep clacks

cause i like clack

but not extreme highs

of clack

#

but i do like my owlabs 😭

tropic urchin
#

@rotund perch use polyfill with DCF on CF plate and it’ll be a lot clackier

sacred elm

Deep clackies sound nice on FR4 and CF plates

rotund perch

It’ll sound fine on FR4

sacred elm

yea i dont need it to be very loud

All DCF is normal but 1-3 notches below default with a more jade pro profile, so whatever you hear via iPhone isn’t going to be what you experience irl @polar girder

Divinikey

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

what vnd u have

the thing is I have a 1-5 that works fine, it's a mid range kf concept one

Great case, no complaints at all. The GT-80 is more versatile since it’s 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, I’d go with the Holy80

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 made a joke/observation that the orange iphone would be similar to the orange mouse and you were never part of the conversation

Supposed to be the Jade max replacement iirc but I wouldn’t put it past Gateron dogekek

#

Might be worth it to get the MMD C1s @quick finch

quick finch
#

the main point i want them for is the transparent stem which seems basically impossible :p

tropic urchin
#

Ah

quick finch
#

i have ur ice ultras rn

quick finch
#

ill try and make a video of why the transparent stem would be nice for me specifically\

paper bison
#

anyone used the sw knights v4

quick finch
#

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

Just when you think you have the perfect build there’s always 1 thing that prevents it from getting to the perfect 10

Jade max —> sticking, POM —> bad sound + shitty RGB, OG Flux —> strong magnet (less of an issue), raptor v2 —> spring crunch city, DCF —> pink 😭

Anything by Gateron —> overpriced for what you get

quick finch

yes i realise this is extremely nitpicky

#

ill put on a couple max's to see the difference

sacred elm
#

I think lube will help, but they'll eventually get sticky again

little glen
# quick finch

a clear stem would help but i think you'll still have the spring adding some shadows regardless

fallen pecan
#

unionwell has a polar pro variant that's fully clear

#

well except the bottom half of the stem

actually i got different results than i thought

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)

paper bison
#

switches come with a decent prelube

#

foam also comes preinstalled in the module and with the case

tropic urchin
#

Maybe looking into different switch plate materials might be beneficial depending on what you want since PC plate will be rather soft, but I wouldn’t get too crazy until you figure out what you like/don’t like and want to change it a bit

hoary aspen
tropic urchin
#

Perfect stabilizers you won’t notice, so it’s not a crucial upgrade unless yours need lube or need to be properly straightened

hoary aspen
#

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

tropic urchin
little glen
#

i also responded to your thread about the stabs but i think it may be better to talk it out here

tropic urchin
#

Can happen with PBT, but not as much as GMK/other ABS iirc

fleet tulip
#

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

tropic urchin
#

Yeah send it here is fine

hoary aspen
tropic urchin
#

If it’s prominent on your most used keys, it’s most likely shine if you can’t clean it

tropic urchin
little glen
#

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

tropic urchin
#

It starts off little coarse and overtime it starts to feel more smooth @hoary aspen

hoary aspen
tropic urchin
fleet tulip
#

here are some photos, im terrible at taking pics but i think u can see it

hoary aspen
fleet tulip
#

u see the slight glossy texture? it feels that way too

little glen
#

that looks like classic keycap wear

fleet tulip
#

shift key is glossy on left side cuz thats where i use it in games

little glen
#

they look pretty clean otherwise

fleet tulip
#

ye ik its just my most used keys tbf, wasd and space/shift/ctrl

little glen
#

yeah not much to be done there its just how plastic reacts to your skin oils etc

fleet tulip
#

can it be cleaned?

tropic urchin
open sapphire
#

what are these cutouts for? not sure if i should keep them on my cf plate

tropic urchin
# fleet tulip can it be cleaned?

You could try the dish soap method in warm water, but since you said it doesn’t come off no matter what you’ve tried, you’ll probably need new keycaps if it’s bothering you.

little glen
#

i would keep them just in case

fleet tulip
hoary aspen
fleet tulip
#

so its safe to put in dish soap and water

little glen
#

the keycaps can take some dish soap and water

#

just dont put the whole keyboard in it

fleet tulip
#

obv not hahaha

tropic urchin
#

Then make sure it’s dry

fleet tulip
#

ok thanks ill leave it to dry for a day atleast just to make sure

#

have to use a different keyboard in the meantime

little glen
#

also be 100% certain that the water is NOT hot or it might mess with the plastic's shape

tropic urchin
fleet tulip
#

ye lukewarm i guess

little glen
fleet tulip
#

maybe room temp or a bit higher

tropic urchin
#

Yeah paper towel is goated

fleet tulip
#

will do thanks guys

tropic urchin
#

Or maybe have it on a towel and let it dry

hoary aspen
#

i moreso meant like, is it gmk or redsuns that manufactured the keycaps in that case since its a collab

fleet tulip
#

also wiz thank u for replying to my other issue man ill send the video of the spacebar thing later

little glen
#

i am considering changing things up and using a different set of keycaps on my 80he

hoary aspen
#

will it be lower quality if redsuns did? i dont understand how the collab works

fleet tulip
#

u guys are super nice

tropic urchin
tropic urchin
hoary aspen
#

Im pretty sure its a collab

#

so im not sure who manufactured it

#

DROP redsuns x GMK specifically

tropic urchin
#

How much was it

little glen
#

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)

hoary aspen
#

180 usd but its way more expensive cus i live in USE

#

#

im guessing around 100 usd US

The one I found on Amazon said it was made in Germany for the drop x redsun GMK blue Sam

little glen

maybe

tropic urchin

GMK is German

little glen

Made in Germany

Those looked cool

It’s a weird thocky sound that can’t be replicated by other keys

little glen

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 isn’t available as a big deskmat..).

If you have nothing to compare them to for reference you won’t notice any differences

Still are decent switches but better ones are available for stem wobble etc

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,...
