i refuse to hand lube anything other than stabs

lube just gets everywhere

uneven cradle
#

Also the 4l doesn't have the pocket for the laptop

#

Are the MMD C1s closed or open bottoms?

robust siren
#

yeah theyre closed bottoms

#

if youre looking to buy them, get it off ali

#

for tape mod should i only be using painters tape?

keen roost
#

should i tape it on something first to get the it less adhesive?

#

saw someone saying that

robust siren

#

thank you guys

#

how many layers should i do?

robust siren

#

any other mod I can do on a wooting 80 he besides tape?

robust siren
calm pulsar
#

80he has a factory tape mod tbh

keen roost
#

oh shit really?

calm pulsar
#

yeahsmile

keen roost
#

thats nice to know

#

thanks

#

any other mods one can do on it to make it better?

#

just got the flux deep clack switches

#

not sure about the sound honestly probably clacky

#

anyone got an opinion on those switches? i used the chart they sent here to get it since its rated so high

glacial wind
#

Then no more mods needed honestly

robust siren
calm pulsar
#

Baredis summoned instantly upon mentioning deep flux

tropic urchin
#

Deep clack flux will have the same stability as TTC POM (but will have slightly tight top wobble and mainly will have a different sound profile to them)

robust siren
tropic urchin
#

Doesn’t look good tho for me

glacial wind
#

Honestly I think poms have the same top wobble but you just notice it more due to build

paper bison
robust siren
robust siren
glacial wind
#

Ttc have that wide giant top housing and no lube stock so it’s more noticable when sides hit at top, but I don’t think they’re actually better or worse than flux physically

tropic urchin
glacial wind
#

You just notice it more due to how their stem is built

paper bison
tropic urchin
#

Not a giant difference

glacial wind
#

Heavy use adds wobble as they get worn more

robust siren
#

my raws:

tropic urchin
robust siren
#

dem shits are tragic

tropic urchin
#

I used them for maybe like 3 months iirc and flux had less top wobble for 2x the usage

glacial wind
#

It’s more that you can feel the hit imo. Physically they move the same but flux have the round/octagon stem that you don’t feel the hit

glacial wind
#

physical movement is different to feel movement

calm pulsar
tropic urchin
#

There’s a slight different to their top wobble, but nothing crazy

glacial wind
#

It’s same reason all the ttc feel bad without lube because it’s just raw plastic on plastic with the giant 4 sided stem moving around hitting the sides

tropic urchin
#

Round stem just feels so good

glacial wind
#

Yeah I do think round stem is the future because it hides that feeling of the walls hitting more

tropic urchin
#

DCF with 45g long spring would be the god tier switch SwitchyPog

glacial wind
#

It’s same reason I think sparks are actually really nice, but they need our switch selector to fix the magnetic issues

tropic urchin
glacial wind
#

Probably at same time

#

I have to pass switches to the switch selector team to get them added

tropic urchin
#

All of 7 ppl will be very angry

calm pulsar
tropic urchin

Namely me but

robust siren

DCF also passed the benom sound test so now they are thriving where the originals couldn’t 🥶

Hey Guys

Quick question:

Which stabilizers would you recomend for the wooting 60he+ and wooting 80he?

tulip rapids
robust siren

#

bit of a busy day, but I managed to add in regular flux soundtest to the database now for comparisons @sacred elm and flux church

#

so now there's both deep and regular flux in the sound test database sample

little glen
#

when are wooting becoming a switch retailer selling all the recommended switches

glacial wind
#

That’s something that’s been planned to be discussed a bit in near future sometime I believe - to add more popular switches to our storefront quicker perhaps

little glen
#

that would be cool (i just want an EU retailer that has cheap fluxies)

fringe quarry
#

but Tikken best switch?

glossy pagoda
#

Yes.

fringe quarry
#

no need for other switches

glossy pagoda
#

One switch to rule them all

We need a Switchy sticker where it's armed with a switch :whip:

gonna take the holy60 off my old 60 for the V2 and put the tofu on the old one

this is a case + caps for my 80

going for a stroll in this channel and see somebody talk bad about dhl, man they charge me the tax and the fee thingy which is like the same price as the tax for the gt80 and even count the shipping pee in the tax meanwhile fedEx didnt, weird...

quasi fossil
#

Hey guys if I using 3.5mm switch how do I change trigger setting? Such as I want to set actuation and RT for 1mm should I set 0.85 or just 1?

mossy cloud
#

the shipping pee was honestly completely unecessary on their end

quasi fossil
#

Should I set value with 3.5/4?

tropic grove
#

come again, i dont really get it

paper bison
#

“the shipping pee”

#

they pee on shipping

oak jewel
#

If you want 1mm, put 1mm

#

I just wouldn't set any actuation between 3 and 4mm

quasi fossil
#

Like if I change some switchs that not 4mm the total point setting will become the real key travel too.

Does the wooting 80he have its own built in stabilizer or I gotta mod that?

ionic ingot

Boo

thorn zealot
#

u dont have to mod em if u dont need to

frigid halo
#

So the 80he has everything… was gonna do the tape mod found out they already got it

#

Should I replace the stabilizers in them with the knight v4? I already bought them

thorn zealot
#

u dont have to

robust siren
#

80he comes with screw in stabilizers

thorn zealot
#

the knight v4s wont sound/feel better than stock if u tune the stock ones properly

#

if thats what u expected

frigid halo

What do you mean by tune it? Sorry I’m new to everything

are those even out yet

yeah they arent even out so how would anyone have a sound test

distant crag

the review is probably fake, but i have ordered them and they're on the way

#

i won't be able to soundtest them until I'm back last week of the month though

little glen
#

oh they just came out it seems

#

cause google didnt update yet

glacial wind
#

yeah they only were in stock this week

#

that review i'm pretty sure isn't real though because they weren't in stock before

distant crag
#

I see. planning to buy new switches. Choosing between deep clack flux or tikken. But I saw hmx...

little glen
#

i do want to try those

#

maybe i'll order them and we can find out

distant crag
#

currently using ur ice ultras. but they sound thin for me. I want a deeper sounding switch. OR something like hmx cloud

sacred elm
#

Crystals will be the opposite of deep because of the fiberglass infused bottom

little glen
#

i think the crystal will be more clacky and bright

distant crag
#

yeah. depending on how it clacks, i might like them.

little glen
#

i'll probably pick them up cause i liked the other fiberglass bottom switch out there

distant crag
#

i already tried owlab ti, but didn't like how it clacks. too harsh for me. I'm hope it's something like the hmx clouds. not too bright/harsh.

little glen
#

fiberglass is bright and sharp

#

not for you

#

wait 2 days and get tikkens

distant crag
little glen
#

tikken are going to be CHEAP

glacial wind
#

if you wait 2 weeks i'll add the hmx crystal to the soundtest database when i'm back from wootstock

austere creek
little glen
#

also anything is cheap when compared to flux

little glen

the switch quick reference sheet lists them at 25-55 per 90

it should be fine for the sides

thats cool too actually

i actually sometimes change it

its useful af

gt80's typing angle is nicer than zing alloy imo, cause the front height isnt so huge and you don't need to adjust it that much

but that's my personal experience

not wootings

the choice is too difficult dude

i js cant decide

robust siren
#

@tropic urchin OnTrac got my sojus now PepeBusiness

#

should be delivered in the next couple of days

#

then if you hate GT80 get the refurbished zinc case

#

or let google flip the coin idk

rotund perch
tropic urchin
#

theres like 8

rotund perch
#

no refurbished zinc

tropic urchin
#

oh maybe idk was just spit ballin

robust siren
#

wouldnt refurb store just be whatever they got thats not suitable for sale

tropic urchin
#

the point being, there isnt a significant difference between the two aside from the ease and convenience of modding with GT80 vs zinc

#

so it really comes down to aesthetics

#

I quite like the GT angle more than zinc as it feels little bit more agronomical and tailored than the slab of zinc for the stock cases and the design of it

case foam or between the plate and pcb? both can effect the overall clacky sound

The Wuque Flux switch works great. Factory lube is good for daily use and light gaming. For osu I still remove the lube for better response and sound will not be affected. I wish I can find some longer and lighter spring to change.

I haven't tape modded yet cuz i just assumed the stock thing did the same thing

The stock thing is different imo worse than a 3 layer but better and worse is subjective. Wooting has a video on how to do it with sound tests so you can decide whether or not to do it

#

what do yall think about the geon raw he switches btw

#

thinking about getting those

#

or the new lekker switches

#

kinda split between the two

fluid ravine
#

smth newer

chilly mural
covert solstice
#

so the lekker tikken?

fluid ravine
covert solstice
#

i like the higher pitched switches any recs for that

fluid ravine
#

you should take a look at those as well

chilly mural
covert solstice
#

let me see

#

id want pc plate right

covert solstice
fluid ravine
#

but yeah you can say it's an "older switch"

covert solstice
#

gocha gocha

#

do the owlab still have .1 accuation or whatever

#

im new to the whole magnetic switch stuff tbh

#

i usually jsut use mechanicals

fluid ravine
covert solstice
#

gocha gocha

fluid ravine
#

it basically reads it off from the magnet of the switch itself

covert solstice
#

so it doesnt matter what switch?

#

since it would be the wooting pcb

chilly mural
#

Yep, just make sure it feels nice and compatible

fluid ravine
#

yeah basically, just make sure it's compatible with the board itself

#

yeah

#

most HE switches are compatible with the wooting but i would ask just incase

covert solstice
#

for the owlab whats the diff between the 50 and 40g is it just the force needed?

chilly mural
# fluid ravine

You can go off with this list to get started. All here is compatible

covert solstice
#

i like these owlab

chilly mural
#

50 is safe, but you can go lower if you prefer lighter switch on mech too

covert solstice
#

im thinking of doing a tofu60 case, and then the owlab switches

#

what plate should i get for it

glacial wind
#

Plate stock is fine unless there’s a specific sound you’re after that’s different

#

There’s no upgrade with plates - it’s sidegrades to whatever you prefer, but the stock pc is fine for most

covert solstice
#

im mainly going after the higher pitched sound

#

gocha

robust siren
fluid ravine
#

ALU or CF

fluid ravine
#

aight bud you're done

robust siren
calm pulsar
robust siren
#

whenever orange man stops fuckin around with percentages

#

also got a friend who might build a 60% keyboard

#

maybe if he eats the bill for a tofu then ill just tell him to get a silver one and ill swap him my black one

#

ezpz

calm pulsar
robust siren
covert solstice
robust siren
covert solstice
#

what cases should i look into then other than the tofu

robust siren
#

gt60 looks good imo if you can get your hands on a brass accent piece

covert solstice
#

how does the case affect the sound, if im going for higher pitched

robust siren
#

plastic will give a deeper sound(?) all aluminum cases will sound relatively the same

robust siren
#

imo they feel pretty nice and definitely worth the 20 bucks for 70 pieces

robust siren
#

well unless its the holy60, which is gonna sound hollow cause theres holes

covert solstice
#

so i was kinda leaning towards that

#

i was thinking tofu60 redux case, and then an fr4 plate with it

robust siren
#

i wish i did a sound recording with friction mounted c1 on fr4

covert solstice
#

would it be similar in sound to the one in vid?

robust siren
#

im not sure as ive never had the owlab switches

covert solstice
#

hmm ok

robust siren
#

heres a comparison

covert solstice
#

ohh ok

#

wtf is the diff between the nromal and redux case

#

for the tofu60

robust siren
#

the redux is the updated version

covert solstice
#

gocha gocha i'll get that then

#

other than the fr4 plate, should i get anything else?

robust siren
#

if you want, the brass bar

covert solstice
#

would it change the sound at all or just the weight of it

robust siren
#

if not, you can use foam to fill the space instead

#

i think they’ll have slight differences but im not too sure

covert solstice
#

i see

robust siren
#

i got it with the brass weight

covert solstice
#

worth it?

robust siren
#

i like how heavy it is and well it fills up the hole in the case so

covert solstice
#

hmm ok i'll get it then

#

i like the feel of heavier boards

robust siren
#

can be used as a blunt weapon and sharp corners smile

sacred elm
covert solstice
#

do i need pcb foam

sacred elm
#

No

robust siren
covert solstice
#

o?

sacred elm
covert solstice
#

ohh ok

#

so tofu 60, brass bar, the fr4 plate, the friction fit pad

#

am i missing anything

robust siren
#

sidenote- the friction fit pad with the fr4 plate that is sold with the tofu60 redux is very very tight

ask me bow i know smile

covert solstice
#

how do u know lol

robust siren
covert solstice
#

i alr have a keycap set but i think its pbt but its fine i like the feel better so thats fine

fluid ravine
#

the friction pad in the tofu in general is already tight

#

so keep in mind with that

covert solstice
#

so for the fit pad, do i take the fr4 one off ands put the wooting one on instead?

#

or can i not take that one off

robust siren
fluid ravine
#

tight in general yeah

covert solstice
#

are the owlab prelubed or will i have to lube them

fluid ravine
#

but damn if the fr4 plate from kbdfans makes it that much tighter then 💀

#

prelubed

covert solstice
#

hell yea ok

robust siren
robust siren
covert solstice
#

i see, wait so with the wooting friction pad, would i have two? if the fr4 plate has one or do i take that one off

robust siren
#

the fr4 plate comes with foam

#

it doesnt have the friction fit pad

covert solstice
#

ohh

#

ok

#

i misread

sacred elm
# covert solstice i see, wait so with the wooting friction pad, would i have two? if the fr4 plate...

The friction fit pad offers noticeable benefits, particularly in feel and sound. In this video, I'll guide you through installing a friction fit pad in your Wooting 60HE. However, before getting one, there are a few important things you should know.

robust siren
#

i have 2 foam pads, 1 silicone, 1 friction fit

#

i cut up one of the foam and silicone ones

#

now im debating if i should cut the friction pad…

covert solstice
#

whyd u cut them?

robust siren
#

ignore the ones on the box

covert solstice
#

ohh

robust siren
#

this is what i used in that first sound test but since this was tray mounted it didnt sound as good

#

now im deciding if i should do it with the friction pad

covert solstice
#

oh wait yea so mine is still gonna be tray mounted right?

robust siren
#

except maybe 1 if you want to ground the pcb to the case

covert solstice
#

ohh

robust siren
#

which i use the upper most right screw hole for

covert solstice
#

gocha

#

would there be more flex in it then with the friction?

#

i like my gasket mounted boards from my mechanicals

robust siren
#

not really

#

HE isnt meant to have a lot of flexibility

covert solstice
#

ah ok

#

im looking at ur vids u sent and i think the pc is slightly higher pitched? but

#

i could be wrong

robust siren
covert solstice
#

ah ok

trail bane
covert solstice
#

u think white tofu case would look good with these, i think the contrast may be cool but idk

robust siren
#

sad i dont have a CF plate

covert solstice
#

oh are there any good 3rd party stabs, or are the wooting stock ones enough

robust siren
robust siren
covert solstice
#

hmm ok

sacred elm
covert solstice
#

i have the 60he + prebuilt

sacred elm
#

Then get Swagkeys Knight v4 screw-in stabilizers

covert solstice
#

do i need to lube it

#

it looks like i do

sacred elm
#

Yes

covert solstice
#

can i use normal switch lube for it? cuz i have a bunch of leftover switch lube

#

or do i need its own thing

sacred elm
#

Lube with 205g0

lyric jasper
#

is wooting site the only available site to purchase plates? since shipping is so expensive from it

robust siren

How much have you guys spent on building keyboard?.

robust siren

#

For one keyboard is 600 expensive? That’s how much I spent 😭

robust siren
# covert solstice gocha gocha

Here is how I mod my stabilizers. I get asked this a lot of my streams and honestly, I figured why not just record this so I can link this video instead of having to re-explain it every time. I hope you enjoy it. Please remember this video is only covering lubing and installing, some stabs like cherry clip-ins, you'll need to clip the bottom leg...

frigid halo
#

Nobody told me this is gonna be mad expensive

robust siren
covert solstice
#

so tofu 60, brass bar, the fr4 plate, the friction fit pad, and then knight stabs

frigid halo
#

Spent a little extra on lube, stabilizer and lube kit even tho I don’t need a do it in the 80he

covert solstice
#

thank god i have lube from my old builds

#

i got my wooting for 130 on marketplace from a guy who doesnt use it anymore

#

🙏

robust siren
#

i wish i got the module instead of prebuilt lol

#

save myself the $50

#

didnt know shit about modding anything at the time so

#

it is what it is

frigid halo
#

I know this is a keyboard discord but anyone know a really good monitor that’s 4k?

covert solstice
#

i wasnt gonna mod mine originally

#

but going from custom keyboards to a stock wooting has been kinda meh

covert solstice
#

also the guy i got it from on marketplace changed the og keycaps to these awful glossy ones lol

robust siren
covert solstice
#

my first keyboard was the og ornata lol

robust siren
#

the wires arent lubed btw

#

so yk it sounds as good as you expect

covert solstice
#

wire is kinda wack lol

robust siren
covert solstice
#

fortnite and the blue switches were crazy 💀

#

i wish i still had it

#

use blue switches every now and then for the fun of it lol

robust siren

redragon cherry blue is a canon event

covert solstice

#

oh and i won a giveaway for this awful blue switch typewriter keyboard at one point last yr but i think i gave it away lol

robust siren
#

cant wait for the new keycaps

#

its like having a whole new keyboard

covert solstice
#

frfr

#

im worried my keycaps wont match well and ima have to buy sum else lol

robust siren
#

trump having fun with percentages is really fucking me in the ass with the import fees

covert solstice
#

and then its like tan keycaps

#

ish

#

i also hope it wont get too dirty bewing white

#

all my other boards have been darker colored so

robust siren
robust siren
covert solstice
lyric jasper
#

which plate is good for deep sounding sounds?

covert solstice
#

and then on white

robust siren
covert solstice
#

i liek those

robust siren
lyric jasper
#

so i would go pc?

#

will it look great on fluxes deep

robust siren
#

you can also use kilmat for more aggressive sound dampening instead of foam

#

for the case

covert solstice
#

@robust sireni need 70 switches right

robust siren
#

yeah

#

ansi is 61 to be exact

covert solstice
#

gocha

robust siren
#

idk about the other layouts

covert solstice
#

thats fine im getting it for the wooting so

robust siren
lyric jasper

I found these idk if u guys know them

#

DC is PC POM PA66

robust siren

so

covert solstice
robust siren
#

i got scammed /j

sacred elm
#

Just wrong specs

fluid ravine
#

or beige

#

or red

robust siren
fluid ravine
#

actually

#

yeah no beige

#

too dark

robust siren
#

color matching it is gonna be a pain in the ass

fluid ravine
#

idk abt white

covert solstice
#

yea its just color matching kinda ass

#

is the issue

#

😭

#

so i think white is prob the safest

fluid ravine
#

honestly i dont fw white for yakult theme

covert solstice
#

iv seen some sorta white

fluid ravine
#

naaaawwww

#

hell nawwww

covert solstice
#

😭

fluid ravine
#

jsut my opinion

covert solstice
#

well i could just buy another set

#

but it was 100 after shipping

#

and its been in my closet for over a year

#

what websites have keycaps nowadays iv been so out of the hobby

fluid ravine
# covert solstice

like something like a muted coral color, cream, red, warm brown
like honestly white is fine tbh

#

it's just that like to me personally

#

white case and cream colored keycaps dont look right to me

#

again my opinion

#

so dont have to listen to me

robust siren
covert solstice
covert solstice
robust siren
#

i just bought some keycaps off unikey but the policy is kinda sketch

fluid ravine
#

@covert solstice tofu 60 redux right?

covert solstice
#

yea

fluid ravine
covert solstice
#

yea i saw more when i scrolled

#

after i sent

fluid ravine
#

Champagne, Light pink, E-Pink, E-white, Mocha, E-red, Acrylic, Orange (maybe), Silver (maybe)

#

i think those would look solid with yakult theme

covert solstice
#

yea i was eyeing the champagne one

#

the one thing though if i went with that if i ever wanna change keycaps id have to find sum to match that

fluid ravine
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

covert solstice
#

yea lol

fluid ravine
#

my boards are cream themed

#

soon will be building a green/creme theme board

covert solstice
#

ooo can i see?

fluid ravine
#

ill be building this soon once 60he v2 is out

#

Ill be buying the case from CAM (not gonna ping) and i already have those keycaps

covert solstice
#

ohhh

#

dang these are nice

fluid ravine
covert solstice
#

maybe i'll try and sell the yakult caps and buy sum else that can match lol

fluid ravine
#

lowk going back to 2.25u backspace gonna be weird for me xd

fluid ravine
#

if so what about the case?

covert solstice
fluid ravine
#

ohhh

covert solstice
#

cant rly return it so

#

yea

#

i bought it when it first droppewd

#

but never finished the build for it

fluid ravine
#

so you're looking for a case rn

#

how much was it?

covert solstice
#

yea

#

it was 100 cuz of shipping

#

it was when it first dropped

fluid ravine
#

wait so how much without shipping then?

covert solstice
#

let me see

#

74

fluid ravine
#

r2?

covert solstice
#

yea

#

idk what the r2 is tho

robust siren
#

true gigachad drink them like taking shots

fluid ravine
#

ah nvm abt the r2 dw about it

#

they're sold for $45

#

on unikeys

#

r2

covert solstice
#

i saw just now yea

fluid ravine
covert solstice
#

i got mine on kbd

#

idk wut the diff is wit r2 tho

robust siren
#

doesnt yours have the red striped number row

#

or am i trippin

fluid ravine
#

do you have the red set?

#

if you do then lowk, running base set with red num row with the white case is lit

covert solstice
#

yea

#

i have the red numbers

fluid ravine
#

like this would look a lot better if it was a black case

covert solstice
#

see originally i was gonna use those with a zoom65 but i never ended up doing that build

fluid ravine
#

or like if the base set was l9 cream and the num row was black

robust siren
#

oh you needed the novelties for the red keys

#

for the r2 at least

fluid ravine
#

they have it

robust siren
#

a

covert solstice
#

yea mine had novelties and the base

lyric jasper
#

full foam means i have to put foams in the keycaps too right?

fluid ravine
#

honestly if im doing a one theme for this particular build, hell might as well go with it, red or pink for me

#

it would be so lit

robust siren
#

im still tryna figure out what to do with my sojus

#

pls help

robust siren
#

so many combos to choose from

fluid ravine
#

oh

robust siren
#

black tofu

fluid ravine
#

like keycap set combination?
