(joking)

[brave mortar]

That's an amazing idea

[robust siren]

some charges a restocking fee so yeah

[brave mortar]

Nvm then that's a terrible idea

😂

[robust siren]

just ask their support

if theres no restocking fee then fuck it

[brave mortar]

Nah that's too much work

Mannn so many of the sets I like are interest check pending

I wasnt sending them but ima start just sending them here anyways

[robust siren]

with the amount of kits youre sending ez 1k lmao

[brave mortar]

And I have a different color gt80 in mind for most of them

[robust siren]

buy every case color duh

[brave mortar]

I went through all their pages

Most of my favorites were pending interest check

Or sold out

[robust siren]

which one do you like the most

[brave mortar]

Well from the ones that are in stock

Yeah nvm idk

They all r nice

@robust siren what's the other website for key caps?

[tired shard]

get them all

thats the trick

you cant go wrong if you get them all

[brave mortar]

I'll go through those and pick out 1 set

[robust siren]

oh you dont wanna know

[brave mortar]

I came in here trying to do a 200 dollar budget

Here we are now

[tired shard]

EXACTLY

you're well past that budget

[robust siren]

wait thats the wrong link

[tired shard]

so why not go further 🙂

For us it’s today, for shaf it’s tomorrow 😃👍

[jade narwhal]

tikken day is coming

[brave mortar]

Triple shade, the ones that pop a lot

[brave mortar]

Like this

[brave mortar]

Or this

[robust siren]

its today now 😁

[brave mortar]

But I would like some triple color that could fit in with my set up

So white or black

That's why I keep looking at beige key caps

[robust siren]

ah

[robust siren]

pull a me move and buy soju base + white alphas and clear novelties

https://tenor.com/view/muhehe-cat-muhehe-muhehehe-cat-muhehehe-smirk-cat-muhehe-gif-17142133339517585968

[tawdry tree]

@sacred elm

[sacred elm]

No way you found this

[robust siren]

youre gonna be doin that for a few more hours buddy

[tawdry tree]

the faster you refresh, the faster time passes

or something like that

[robust siren]

i sleep

time zoom

[brave mortar]

I no sleep

I think this is the one

But I think I'd have to go with a black gt80

[robust siren]

i mean you can try and see if it matches the purple gt80 you wanted

but since theyre both rendered its probably not accurate

[sacred elm]

@tawdry tree TODAY!!

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

[brave mortar]

Quick question

For the gt80 do i need to cop the separate daughter board

If I'm gonna get the regular plastic case from wooting anyways

[robust siren]

get the wooting plastic case (it’ll come with the daughter board)

its like 10 bucks

[brave mortar]

Yeah but will the cable reach ?

[robust siren]

uhhh i think it will(?)

@tropic urchin

[sacred elm]

No

Longer JST cable is included with the case

[brave mortar]

Oh okay

[robust siren]

oh

[robust siren]

[brave mortar]

I just noticed the shipping price increased too

💀

Id rather pay more and feel better

Than pay for shipping

[sacred elm]

You just move the daughterboard from the plastic case to GT80 and plug in the KBDfans JST cable

[robust siren]

welcome to living in the great united states where dreams are crushed

[brave mortar]

😞

How do I get the gold accents that they have in the renders

[sacred elm]

Included

[brave mortar]

Oh so it'll come with the strap handle and front accent ?

I added those as options

[sacred elm]

Yes, these are just extras

[brave mortar]

Saved 6 bucks

https://tenor.com/view/150-bucks-i-just-saved-myself-shoes-shoe-doc-tiktok-gif-8638819451269123821

[weak ivy]

I want to use a coiled cable, but do I not have to use the original one?

[brave mortar]

This and white gt80

Or this

With a black gt80

[brave mortar]

This with white too

[sacred elm]

Not necessarily, you can use any cable as long as it’s high quality.

[brave mortar]

This and silver or white gt80

[robust siren]

all 3

ezpz

[sacred elm]

However coiled cables can be tricky, so it’s safest to buy one from Wooting, since it’s guaranteed not to have issues.

https://wooting.io/product/detachable-cable

[brave mortar]

This and silver

[robust siren]

i like this one personally

[robust siren]

and then this one

but it’s your keyboard

[brave mortar]

I like them all 💀

But yeah the two u pointed out are some of my top picks too

The black is near perfect but without japanese characters and all keys labeled, the white has the Japanese characters but isn't tri color

Do I play spin the wheel.

[robust siren]

yes

one option should be all in

[brave mortar]

Silver black white those r the three options

[brave mortar]

If silver this

Actually kick silver out he'll be ai

[calm pulsar]

black boring

[brave mortar]

Screw it white anyways

Do I need to cop a plate ? @robust siren

Or just go without one for now

There's only 2 white gt80 left too

[robust siren]

uhhh

idk if wooting plate works in gt80(?)

[sacred elm]

Why not silver, it's more versatile

[robust siren]

the 80he comes with pc plate?

[sacred elm]

With the white case you're forced to use BOW or similar keycaps

[sacred elm]

Yes

[brave mortar]

Im sure the keycaps would look good with silver too

[robust siren]

def should get fr4 if it’s an option but it only works with the case

[brave mortar]

This would work with silver right

[robust siren]

i’d say it would

[marsh saffron]

Yeah

[brave mortar]

There's fr4 plate and then a fr4 plate barebone

Then an option to bundle the gt80 with an fr4 plate, and save 5 bucks

I is confusion

[sacred elm]

You don't need the barebone, it's an MX PCB

Get it with the GT80

If you don't like higher pitch sound, don't bother at all

It's not necessary to just swap the plate

[brave mortar]

Hmmm, I'll pass on it for now then

Wait takmon said def get

It

[robust siren]

i mean it a couple of bucks and it will change the sound of your keyboard quite a bit

the sound difference should be like the 2nd and 3rd video here: #🔧│keyboard_modding message

but take it with a grain of salt as its the 60he

[brave mortar]

Copped everything

And now let me cry myself to sleep

Cuz I just realized how much it was

Shipping state and city and to top it off commuter transport 💀

[hoary aspen]

im buying a wooting 80he aluminum case module with geon raw switches, should i lube the switches change stabilizers or do any upgrsdes?

i want best performance quality and sound off the bat i dint want to reupgrade later

[hoary aspen]

hi

[fluid ravine]

With newer releases of switches I'd say you should try getting something else rather than geon raws like Owlab Ti HE for example. Most to all HE switches are prelubed from the factory so you shouldn't worry much about relubing switches unless you got something like TTC POM or wtv. Stabilizer wise, stock stabs are great, they may require some tuning but once you get it down, it would sound great like any other proper tuned stab would.

[hoary aspen]

i didnt want to ship 2 different products from different orders and pay shipping twice, so i went ahead and bought whatever switch was available within wooting's website

what about like inside the module itself, is there any part i should add, foam needed to change anything like that? im not too knowledgable about keyboards

[brave mortar]

Quickly make a choice before takmon wakes up

He's gonna convince you to sell your kidneys and your whole family

[hoary aspen]

i already bought the parts along with GMK keycaps

i didnt think it could get that much more expensive

😭

[brave mortar]

Gmk key caps?

Dw man you got enough bread

😂

[fluid ravine]

80HE modding wise, honestly you don't really need to worry much about it since Wooting already applied a handful of basics mods within the module itself. You should really look into on how you should put the board together within your preference of parts.
But if you do go through the modding route then things you could do is just playing around with the case foam, plate foam, gasket, tape mod, etc. Combination of configurations.

[brave mortar]

Nah idk a lot about keyboards either

What did ur total come out to?

[hoary aspen]

about 400 dollars 😭

shipping is crazy expensive to dubai

[fluid ravine]

aint too shabby

[brave mortar]

Shipping cooked me too

[fluid ravine]

ah shi shipping is always the money eater

[brave mortar]

Look at the picture above

They charged me shipping, state tax, city tax, and some metropolitan thing

😢

[hoary aspen]

is there any objective way to get the best overall sounding case combination

[fluid ravine]

nah wtf State and city tax is crazy 😭

[brave mortar]

That's what I'm saying

[fluid ravine]

all preference

[brave mortar]

Sound is subjective so

[hoary aspen]

hahahahah i just saw it

thats hilarious

[brave mortar]

What kind of sound do u like ?

[hoary aspen]

creamy + kind of silent

[fluid ravine]

I deadass thought i was tripping when i read "New York city city tax"

[brave mortar]

This key card better give me a massage too

[brave mortar]

The worst part is the wooting board comes next year

💀

[hoary aspen]

NAHHH

my 60he took 3 months but my 80he module took about 5 days

wooting with fast delivery time is unreal to me

[fluid ravine]

honestly best advice for a beginner is just grab all the parts for your build, build it, then go from there. See what you would like to adjust out of your board rather than making a hypothesis before the board even comes home.

[brave mortar]

The regular full keyboard would've came quickly

But just the board is in back order

[fluid ravine]

60he v2 wait finna go crazyyyy

[hoary aspen]

honestly my issue is i had a budget of 500 i have 100 remaining and if i dont use it ima just use it on car mods

😭

[fluid ravine]

honestly you're already on a good start

[hoary aspen]

alright great good to know

[fluid ravine]

already got your GMK keycaps, your board and switches prepped

[hoary aspen]

do you know the gmk samurai keycap set>

[fluid ravine]

Personally, I'd mess with the board's configuration to see what i would like out of it

[brave mortar]

What's some mods I can do? I copped key caps, gt80, fr4, and wuque flux switches

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[brave mortar]

I see some dudes do a tape mod n stuff

[hoary aspen]

i bought the red samurai novelty set along with the blue samurai base set

[fluid ravine]

80HE already has pre applied tape mod

[hoary aspen]

do you think the colour combination could fit

[brave mortar]

The wooting sticker that shows the parts right

[fluid ravine]

yeah it's a PET film

here take a look

[brave mortar]

Kinda wish the keyboard had a knob or screen woulda been cool

[hoary aspen]

for that price i agree

[fluid ravine]

Basic mods that require part swapping that is usually done is case, switches, plate, and keycaps

[hoary aspen]

could of felt more premium

[fluid ravine]

but if you wanna go into the internal route, that would be experiementing with case foam, tape mod/no tape mod, maybe even cutting up the gasket pad

[hoary aspen]

i heard the wooting zinc case has some issues no?

im pretty surprised for that price

[fluid ravine]

i mean over time they've been trying to create solutions to the paint job and everything for the past year

i think there was a recent update to the black zinc iirc

it's good that they're keeping us on an update

about these type of stuff

[hoary aspen]

thats good actually yeah

my mopdule comes tomorrow but my keycaps comes next week

cooked

[fluid ravine]

what about case switches?

[hoary aspen]

case comes with the module

switches also with module

all the same order

[fluid ravine]

so you bought a bundle

got it

[hoary aspen]

i got it from wooting directly

all 3

[fluid ravine]

what gmk set did you get?

[hoary aspen]

the keycaps i got separately

[brave mortar]

What switches did u get ? @hoary aspen

[fluid ravine]

Geon raw

[hoary aspen]

redsuns x GMK red samurai novelties + redsuns x gmk blue samurai full set

[fluid ravine]

black zinc alu case?

[hoary aspen]

yep

[brave mortar]

What was the Dubai shipping looking like ?

[fluid ravine]

not bad yeah, valid choice i suppose

[brave mortar]

I saw some vids like the sound of them

[hoary aspen]

totaled around 70+ usd

actually no 100 usd with the gmk keycaps order

[brave mortar]

Damnnn

[fluid ravine]

mmm

[brave mortar]

I thought I had it bad

[hoary aspen]

i did buy fast shipping tho

[covert solstice]

for ppl with the owlabs ti should i get the 50g or 40g

[fluid ravine]

how much was shipping in total for you again?

like $20 or so?

[fluid ravine]

depends on you

you prefer lighter weight?

[brave mortar]

44 plus 12 plus 13 plus 1

[covert solstice]

whats the default lekkers have?

[fluid ravine]

50g is always the sweet and safe spot

60g

for l60

45 for l45

[brave mortar]

70

[fluid ravine]

damn

[hoary aspen]

those would look pretty sick together no?

[fluid ravine]

from kbdfans?

[brave mortar]

Yeah

[hoary aspen]

if i use the novelty set as accents

[fluid ravine]

oh helll naaawww

not surprised tbh

since kbdfans in china

[hoary aspen]

paying similar to dubai prices in US is devious 😭

[fluid ravine]

no thick greases like that are used or it'll perform worse

[covert solstice]

so only use the 205?

[glacial wind]

yep

only 205g0 lightly

[covert solstice]

gocha

iv seen some drenched in lube but im worried i over do it cuz iv never lubed stabs before

[fringe quarry]

expensive :o

[glossy pagoda]

That's for the whole pack you know, not per switch... We're not fluxes

Now if only the rest of the website would update like it's supposed to :shakes fist:

[fringe quarry]

[glacial wind]

[fringe quarry]

👀

[wooden topaz]

I’m F5-ing the switch category as hell😂

[chilly mural]

HMM, $0.55/pcs

[fringe quarry]

[glossy pagoda]

It's possible to order if you add a module keyboard to your order, add the switches, then go to the cart page, then remove the keyboard

[glacial wind]

if you're in US i support your f5ing because word on the street is you want to be fast for US stock

[chilly mural]

no, that's without. With it's like 0.41

[fringe quarry]

whats the smallest pack for tikkens

[glacial wind]

i believe we're planning to do the standard larger discount with 60he v2 bundle also, which iirc was 50% with previous launches

[glossy pagoda]

70 packs and 90 packs

[fringe quarry]

[wooden topaz]

It doesnt spawn…

Just on the 60he+ module but only 70

[chilly mural]

do it on woot 80

[fringe quarry]

40€ for 70+ shipping

so midrange ig

[chilly mural]

just slightly above owlab, yeah

but since this is like 1/8 4mm switch, it's alright. Especially when you counting in discount from getting a new keeb

[wooden topaz]

[glossy pagoda]

Merci Redhodd and congrats on being the first order placed

[wooden topaz]

😂 tikkens , car dampener

https://tenor.com/view/meme-nicolas-cage-gif-11657408

[little glen]

well, mods on top of what i already had

gt 80, knight v2 stabs, poly fill, fr4 plate, gmk keycaps and rawhuks as switch (tho i will obvs change to tikkens to try those)

oh and i now removed the stab pads and cut out the alphanumeric area of the silicone pad to see how that sounds

love that i got free force break pads with my keyboard

[paper bison]

waiting to get my 60v2 to decide whether to get tikkens for my 80, considering i bought dc switches like 12 hours ago

[little glen]

hope it arrives late in the day on the 20th or on the 22nd

[little glen]

they wont even let me buy dcf so it's pretty obvious for me

tho i do also want to try the hmx crystal switches

[paper bison]

tf why

[little glen]

aliexpress sellers wont ship to germany

[chilly mural]

or having to pay $2 per switch

[little glen]

yeah i'm never doing that

so it might as well not be real

[tawdry tree]

For Hejin, kinda. I get free shipping though

[trail bane]

Tintongs

Soon

[tawdry tree]

[little glen]

[chilly mural]

the universe has decided for you to get tikken lmao

[glossy pagoda]

[brave mortar]

How are those stabilizers compared to the stock ones just curious

[little glen]

They‘re good

I just got them cause i didnt want to bother fixing the stock stabs but its honestly not needed

Also knight v2 are not available anymore anyway

[uneven rapids]

Hello, if I want to lube only my stabilizers, is there a more optimal thing to buy than the switch toolkit from wooting that includes everything else?

[brave mortar]

Ah okay thanks

[glossy pagoda]

Which country?

The answer is probably not, but can at least check

[little glen]

You can get some krytox 205g0 and dielectric grease somewhere else and some brushes as well

Where to get them depends where you live tho

[glossy pagoda]

There might actually be a chance for this, but it would be many months away

Maybe March or so...

[paper bison]

[little glen]

Holy

Big package

[paper bison]

its time to finally work on the 80

i've been using it stock in the zinc case for a while

[little glen]

You should cut out the silicone around the alphanumerics

[uneven rapids]

any brush recommandation?

[little glen]

Just a small brush idk

Idk anything about brushes just like a small tip paintbrush

[chilly mural]

Mmmmmm

Cant wait for that

[celest sinew]

Im still waiting on mine to come in

@loud gull new keycaps for you 👀

[chilly mural]

Makin your keyboard a work hazard certified

[paper bison]

bro why is this pbtfans set packaged like a tank

how the fuck

[ionic breach]

top layer

get ur fingernail and flick the top layer

[paper bison]

i got it open but every set before has been packaged like shit compared to this, why is this not the standard LOL

[rotund perch]

might be my dream rn

[paper bison]

even from a brand like WS, dogshit packaging

😭

[ionic breach]

👍 pbtfans and kap just goated

[polar girder]

Looks pretty fire. Wym

Good keycaps synonymous with dogshit packaging. Haven’t you heard?

Good packaging = bad keycaps

/s.

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I haven’t seen any of my other packages have nicer packaging than KBDfans. It’s not particularly close either

OEM solution so not a whole lot to be expected software wise. You can get a PCBA kit with the same software off of Ali for like $35 though.

[rotund perch]

should I order and try them :-)

[tawdry tree]

You can’t not order those bro 😭

They’re on TB

[fringe quarry]

okay spring crunching is real...

[glacial wind]

you finally got it to happen?

[tropic urchin]

Tough

[robust siren]

lets get my fluxes to start crunching

https://tenor.com/view/muhehe-cat-muhehe-muhehehe-cat-muhehehe-smirk-cat-muhehe-gif-17142133339517585968

[tropic urchin]

I’ve never felt it

[robust siren]

also titons 👀

[tropic urchin]

It’s pronounced bikkens

[fringe quarry]

on wasd

when i wiggle on bottom out

[glacial wind]

time to do the spring wiggle

[fringe quarry]

so is it fixable with more lube or sum?

imma wiggle the whole board

[slate fox]

Time to use my wooting gift card on tikkens?

[glacial wind]

open switch, rotate spring and it'll be gone basically

it seems to happen due to spring positioning

[rotund perch]

there are gift cards 😭

[fringe quarry]

forever?

[glacial wind]

no, until it vibrates/rotates back eventually depending on your usage

it seems to happen due to movement vibrating it into specific spots that have it crunch

[fringe quarry]

so switches that you gotta open every week

interesting

[glacial wind]

yeah that's why it's always been interesting because certain movements seem to trigger it quicker/more easily

[slate fox]

I only got it cause of v1 white case

[rotund perch]

ohhh

the codes

[hollow heart]

ive got a 80he thats got the original abs shell, ive got some hushmat car sound deading, would that be possible or not very good since its a plastic shell?

[glacial wind]

sure, people use all sorts of stuff to play around with foam replacements

you can just experiment and see if you like that sound or not - it's just personal preference

[slate fox]

Sno what switches you using rn?

[glacial wind]

i rotate constantly cause i have to record soundtests

[rotund perch]

the switch code doesnt work on tikkens :(

[slate fox]

Hmm how about favorite switch of the year so far?

[slate fox]

[glacial wind]

probably sparks but they're not fully compatible yet

need switch selector to fix the magnet issues

[slate fox]

[glacial wind]

but i got them free also, so that certainly is a lot more easy to swallow than the $150 or whatever retail is for them

[fringe quarry]

man

maybe the warning on that switch image should be a bit stronger worded

sounded like its a rare thing or sum

[glacial wind]

it's pretty rare in that we still have maybe half the folks in here who haven't had it happen

we don't know why certain movements trigger more or not

[fringe quarry]

do you think i could contact the seller about that

[glacial wind]

nope

well you could try but it's almost highly likely not going to be covered

[slate fox]

Ah ye, that’s nice. $150 😭

[glacial wind]

and honestly would probably cost you more money to ship it back and forth

[fringe quarry]

nah local shop

[glacial wind]

swap them out for spares if you have them is honestly the only easy solution

but for the price of them i'd personally not go through the headache of trying to go back and forth with random shops about it

[fringe quarry]

if its only wasd it seems pretty likely that it would just happen again

[glacial wind]

yeah like we've been saying, the deal is if you get it happening then you'll probably get it happening again

but if you don't have it happening you probably never ever see it happen

it's a weird problem like that

[paper bison]

gt-80 built, feels great, but fucking hell im never taking advantage of prelubed stabs again

that took too damn long

[glacial wind]

stabs are the most tedious part of modding lol

[paper bison]

plus loving the all black look of the gt-80 with black brass accents and the pbt crosshairs

[glacial wind]

they require you to disassemble and assemble the most parts

[paper bison]

just waiting on the dc now

next keyboard though i'm going ansi, the stab on my iso enter key wiggles regardless of lube, stock did it too

big ass fuck iso enter

[hollow heart]

i was more or less worried cause the pcb seemed very tight fitting as is, would there be the extra 1.5mm in the case do you think?

[glacial wind]

wiggling is kind of normal yeah, you can't fix it with stabs

[glacial wind]

well you'd be removing the foam in your case

[paper bison]

also heard that the extended jst cable with the gt-80 can't support 8k, is there any truth to that

[glacial wind]

and replacing it with kilmat or whatever car foam you have

it's not added on top of the foam but replacing your current foam

[hollow heart]

hushmatt so luckily its slightly thinkk than kilomatt

though its got the metal top side, so i would need to do tape mod to prevent short?

[sacred elm]

No, it fully supports 8k

[paper bison]

Thought so, I was assuming that people who were saying it doesn't were going off reviewer copies when it was new, cheers

[glacial wind]

hrm that i don't know as I've never used any metal foams and i'd be weary of adding any foams that had that

[sacred elm]

Yeah, review samples didn't support but they fixed it.

[rotund perch]

send a pic i gotta see this

Woops wrong message

I meant to reply to the

gt-80 and crosshairs one

[hollow heart]

almost all car sound mats have that metal top layer.

[glacial wind]

oh you mean that

[fringe quarry]

they should sell this in amounts for keyboards

[hollow heart]

they are a thick adhesive on one side and metal on the other.

they're a bit of a different category since they're not walled switch type, so they're not as ultra stable bottom out as poms

hi. I want to make my Wooting 80He sound as deep and thocky as possible without having to mess around too much. tape mod? there is already a sound dampening plate on the pcb, should I just have that or should I tape mod on top of it so I have both wooting's sound dampening film for the pcb and tape mod or just tape mod? right now I just tried tape mod. 4 layers of masking tape but on the far right of the keyboard they sound thocky but on the left (W A S D) they sound brighter. I don't remember them being like that when I used wooting's own sound film. anyone who has a deep thocky sound and what should I do if I have Wooting 80he Lekker L45 V2 switch and plastic case to make them sound as good as possible? please give me some tips

[tidal frigate]

[modern rock]

A question, if I buy the 80he module, do I have to lubricate the switches or do they come already lubricated?

[robust siren]

you would need to get switches separately if you buy the module

the ones in wooting store are already lubed if thats what youre asking

[modern rock]

Do these come already lubricated?

[lime yew]

Yes they come pre-lubed

[modern rock]

I asked chatgpt and they said no, thank you very much. I think I'll wait for 60he v2.

[cyan hemlock]

Would 427mm x 127mm foam fit for wooting's case? I'm missing 15mm from the height of wooting's case size 346 × 142 mm.

[robust siren]

why are we asking chatgpt

1/2 the shit it spews out is false

[modern rock]

Because when I ask the times are very different because I am from Spain and in other countries they are different times and I don't get an answer.

[cyan hemlock]

@tropic urchinI need help

[modern rock]

Hey, one question: which mouse do you recommend for competitive gaming? I wanted to get the Attack Shark R5 Ultra.

[tropic urchin]

I don’t have the case measurements handy, you should be able to just cut it to fit

[ionic breach]

im dying from the wait

[tropic urchin]

Beastx pro or max depending on your hand

If you want the best click

[ionic breach]

so that was a lie

[robust siren]

sure if you want the chinese clones of the mouses theyre modeled after

[ionic breach]

i would avoid attack

[modern rock]

I want something good for gaming but I don't want to spend a lot either.

[robust siren]

me with keycaps

[tropic urchin]

Lamzu

[modern rock]

What model?

[tropic urchin]

Whatever fits your hand better

[robust siren]

hitscan hyperlight

[tropic urchin]

I use Maya x bc it’s the viper v3 pro which fits me better

As one of my main mice

[robust siren]

cheaper than pulsar crazylight

[modern rock]

Yes, but those are in my country, well I suppose in others too, but in Spain it is expensive.

[tropic urchin]

You need to figure out your hand size and see which fits your needs best

[modern rock]

It costs about 170 euros, so it would be about 180 dollars, something like that, I don't know, really.

[modern rock]

The Razer Viper v3

[ionic breach]

much more

dollars are cooked

nvm just 200usd

[modern rock]

Only 200¿

Bro 200 in my case, I'm 14 years old, is a lot.

We don't charge 5k euros either.

[ionic breach]

as in compared to the conversion i thought

thought it was like 220 ish

[tulip rapids]

i just asked chatgpt about your statement and it says you should buy all the wooting products

[modern rock]

Could you explain yourself better?

[tulip rapids]

let me go ask chatgpt first

[robust siren]

what makes you think that the 60he v2 will have lubed switches if wooting doesnt sell them right now

???

obviously the switches wooting sells are lubed rn

[tulip rapids]

his chatgpt is telling him lies

[uneven cradle]

[tropic urchin]

@cyan hemlock I’d just get polyfill and use it in the spots the foam doesn’t get and call it a day

[fringe quarry]

so is there no cheap switch with better stability then owlabs

[tropic urchin]

Don’t think so no

[fringe quarry]

rip

[tropic urchin]

Raptors were the chosen one until @sweet oak got a hold of em

[fringe quarry]

dumb switch

[tropic urchin]

In the end it turns out we are all undeserving

[fringe quarry]

raptor v3 when...

[tropic urchin]

HMX Crystal 🤓

[glacial wind]

not if you don't want to go walled stem stuff and not hmx/raptor mold

[swift narwhal]

I bought some MLV off of amazon and I cut it to fit my tofu60 and although it fits nicely it feels like the sound profile is pretty hollow, anyone know if the surface of the material is supposed to be pretty hard or somewhat soft? cuz mine is pretty hard

[glacial wind]

there's plenty of more stable switches but not non walled ones

[fringe quarry]

oh idc what design they have

[glacial wind]

then there's a ton

[tropic urchin]

Is there any cheap good boxstems I don’t think so right

[fringe quarry]

the ones on the list seem pretty expensive

[glacial wind]

a ton, phylina is box stem for example

the thunderflash switches

[tropic urchin]

How much are they

Forgot about Phylina

[glacial wind]

like $30 or so depending on where you buy/ship to for 90

they're cheap

[stoic ocean]

I bought the same

[stoic ocean]

but the other case silver one i need

[swift narwhal]

does it work pretty good for u? it dampens but I feel like the feel of pressing the key becomes "tough"

and the sound isnt all that great for me at least

[stoic ocean]

For me work good

But the sound like you said is mid

i saw on youtube a guy who put mlv inside his tofu60 v2 and sound very thock

[swift narwhal]

dude yea exactly for me too

maybe its a switch thing

i need my lekker tikkens to arrive asap

[stoic ocean]

Switch or the mlv we have is not that good

[swift narwhal]

yea very possible that the MLV he used in the video was less dense then ours

[stoic ocean]

On the video the guy have a glossy mlv

[stoic ocean]

Maybe more flexible and give a better sound

[swift narwhal]

i think so, pretty sure we just got the cheap shit and it sucks lol

[stoic ocean]

yeah can be possible

[swift narwhal]

im thinking of picking up the case the 60he v2 comes with since the tofu60 i feel has an uneven sound profile for both sides of the keyboard with the friction fit pad

[stoic ocean]

The price is not a probleme but the size i juste want a sheet and you cant find this on Amazon etc

[swift narwhal]

yea right

MLV is hard asf to find tho

[stoic ocean]

I will look next time

I think we need to spend minimum 50€ or more for a good one

[swift narwhal]

yea thats brutal

[stoic ocean]

This is why i bought this one

[swift narwhal]

the MLV wasn't great for me honestly so I started using a yoga mat

[stoic ocean]

Is good too

[swift narwhal]

yea its not too bad, could be a little deeper

[stoic ocean]

The one we have

Is grey with a grid

his own smooth and a little reflective

[night atlas]

just copped some tikkens

get me out of recolor hell

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-paw-simpsons-wish-gif-22682473

[chilly mural]

80% of HE switch is now incompatible with wooting

[night atlas]

??

elaborate

[chilly mural]

most HE switch in the future is now incompatible with wooting. Cause switches now changes where the magnet is rather than color.

[night atlas]

isn't that what the auto-calibration is for? i don't think it was ever color dependent, i could be wrong tho

where'd you hear this from

[chilly mural]

it's just a joke

[harsh dove]

No joking

[steel knoll]

Tikken light version when?

[night atlas]

😭 gotta work on that delivery, i was so confused

[sacred elm]

If the demand is high, they'll release a light version too.

You can always spring swap them if you want

[night atlas]

Was just gonna ask, do we know the diameter of the spring used in tikkens? I'm a light spring typa guy so I do eventually want to switch em out

oh i didn't know the tikkens use long springs (22mm), maybe i don't swap em out this time

[steel knoll]

True, but more headache and harder to differentiate later on because of the same color of the switch

[sacred elm]

Diameter is the same as other Gateron/Hejin springs

[steel knoll]

Also, spring actuation linearity is slightly different. But no more lube leaking from the closed switch is kinda tempting, besides other obvious improvements

[night atlas]

What does spring actuation linearity mean? Is it referring to the spring resistance getting "stronger" the deeper the keypress is?

[sacred elm]

There are other closed bottom switches too, with lighter springs

[sweet oak]

CRUNCH !!!!!

[tropic urchin]

You crunched my hopes and dreams 😭

[steel knoll]

Pretty much, not sure if I named it appropriately:)

[steel knoll]

Thanks for the reference. I think tikkens overall is best for my needs(Deeper sound, full 4mm travel, less wobble and price/performance)

[robust siren]

Product description says it's compatible with their spring swap kit

[modern rock]

What mouse do you recommend if I buy the Wooting 60he v2?

[sacred elm]

Any mouse that you like

[regal nest]

is it just me or do the tikken sound overlubed on the soundsample? as if they keep getting stuck when bottomed out

[sacred elm]

They sound fine to me.

[harsh dove]

Sound and feel good to me

[regal nest]

hm, idk. i listened to the deepclack wuque, tikken and owls to see if theres major differences and aside from high pitches on one or the other and some sticky/overlubed sounds i didnt really hear major differences and thought id ask

[sacred elm]

It's just the sound test I think, irl they're different.

[regal nest]

idk, maybe im trying to hear for major differences and since there are non im tripping

[modern rock]

I want a good one, not just any bro.

[harsh dove]

Razer vv3

[sacred elm]

[sacred elm]

why do they even price them that high

[modern rock]

Of these, which is the best in terms of quality and price?

[robust siren]

@little glen found you a friend

[modern rock]

I was thinking about the Attack Shark R5 Ultra. Is there a better one for a not so high price?

[regal nest]

lamzu is great price wise, quality&battery is ass, software is rly good though

[sacred elm]

All of them have good quality, If you like medium/big mice - get either Maya X/Viper V3 Pro/Beast X Pro, if you like small mice X2 Crazylight/Hitscan Hyperlight are great.

You can compare the shapes here: https://www.eloshapes.com/

[robust siren]

cheapest one on that list is the hitscan

i think

either way, you ask us what we recommend, we give you recommendations

[modern rock]

And what mousepad do you recommend? I wanted to buy an Attack Shark glasspad. Is the CM05 good?

[sacred elm]

idk Attack Shark, I recommend Artisan mousepads

[thorn zealot]

if u want quality i wouldnt look at chinese oem companies like attack shark

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I wouldn’t get a rando glass pad 😭

[thorn zealot]

if u want cloth pads than artisan, glass pads then the new wallhack one

[tropic urchin]

Quite honestly if artisan is too expensive get LGG Saturn Pro or matrova or something like that

Chinese clone gear is going to be ass

[modern rock]

So which one do you recommend? They're all very expensive and I don't want to spend 100 euros/dollars on a mousepad/glasspad.

[harsh dove]

I honestly haven’t tried other gaming pad besides artisan so that’s what I recommend lol

All my other pads are just designer

[tropic urchin]

So don’t. Look at Matrova and see if that’s something you’re comfortable spending

[tired shard]

Ong I just buy one nice pad and it does the job so I don’t bother trying other ones

[thorn zealot]

u can look at infinitymice pads on maxgaming

[modern rock]

What is Matrova?

[tropic urchin]

A UK company that sells mouse pads

Shafie got a few from them and they’re cheaper than artisan price wise but are decent iirc

[modern rock]

What is better for gaming, a mousepad or a glasspad?

[thorn zealot]

preference

[tropic urchin]

They aren’t comparable as someone that’s tried both

Glass is in its own category

It’s Speed +++

[modern rock]

I'd rather spend more money on a mousepad than spend little on a glasspad that is of poor quality.

[tropic urchin]

I’d try to find an artisan zero or hybrid pad for FPS and ignore glass

[high nymph]

I have tried many and nobody takes my wallhack sp004 from my desk now

[tropic urchin]

Yes I agree

Not all glass will be high quality

Same with cloth, but cloth is going to be better in most cases for fps

[high nymph]

nah... ur tripping

[tropic urchin]

Glass can be good but it’s not recommended as your first

[robust siren]

cloth is probably better for tac fps

[tropic urchin]

Didn’t read anything that I said but nice rage bait

[modern rock]

So

[high nymph]

had cloth before (cordura + silicon) and glass is better in all senses

[modern rock]

?

[sacred elm]

For TacFPS cloth is better

almost always

[modern rock]

Should I buy a mouse for now and a glass pad another day?

[high nymph]

you buy first the car or the tires?

[tropic urchin]

@high nymph name 4 pros that use glass in competitive FPS

I’ll be waiting GenG

[modern rock]

So mousepad is better?

[thorn zealot]

i wouldnt get a glasspad if its ur 1st ever mousepad

[tropic urchin]

Cloth will be easier to use and get used to, glass is something I’d try at a later date if you’re interested

Kazuza is derailing the convo, but stick to cloth for now

[robust siren]

what about that college kid making gaming mousepads, pegasi or smth

[modern rock]

Okay, so which mousepad do you recommend? Not too expensive ones either.

[tropic urchin]

Look at Artisans lineup - Zero would be a safe pick

[high nymph]

https://prosettings.net/gear/lists/mousepads/

I didnt say pick glass for first mouse pad

[modern rock]

There are no good mousepads on Amazon.

?

[tropic urchin]

Amazon will be marked up and you’d need to vet the vendor so you don’t get a clone

[robust siren]

i swear i saw someone at valorant champs using the pegasi genesis mousepad

[sacred elm]

LGG Saturn Pro

[modern rock]

So can I receive my fake mouse if I buy it through Amazon?

I was planning to buy through Amazon, but I've only seen videos saying either through Amazon or AliExpress.

So the truth is not known

It's that I don't want to buy the mouse from one store, the mousepad from another, or the keyboard from another, to be honest, I will buy the keyboard from the official Wooting store, but my idea was to buy the mouse and the mousepad together.

Sometimes that’s what you have to do. Amazon doesn’t always stock everything gaming peripheral and requires you to look elsewhere. It is possible, but you need to do your research on the vendor if it isn’t from the official company store page.

for tech stuff , amazon isn't always the best choice

[modern rock]

It's that I don't know many brands either. Honestly, I've always seen people recommend things from AliExpress because they're supposedly real and they're good, so I don't know.

if you want an artisan but arent sure, go zero if you want control and key83 if you want speed/consistency

coming from someone who has tried every artisan pad 🤣

[tropic urchin]

Key83 will probably be too expensive

[robust siren]

Gimme one, I got $3 for you right here

[paper bison]

If the Key83 is too expensive then they can go Raiden or Otsu

hitscan hyperlight has been great to me, it's also under $100 usd

[paper bison]

What I'm missing is a mouse and a mousepad, but I don't know which one to choose. How much should I budget for a mouse and a mousepad?

[tropic urchin]

If you play any fps, mousepad is just as important

[rotund perch]

meh not to me

I've been maining the Artisan Raiden Soft XL with the Razer Viper V3 Pro + Artisan Mizugomu skates for cloth, and a Tekkusai Guardian with the Razer DAV4 Pro with Unusual Way Silver Fox skates for glass.

[robust siren]

I’m using a glass pad rn and have been on a 3xl glorious deskpad before it

[paper bison]

Definitely prefer cloth tho ngl

[high nymph]

which mouse are you targetting?

[night atlas]

Depends on your own personal finances, but fwiw, I spent about $120-130 for both hitscan hyperlight and tang dao mousepad total

[paper bison]

not the glorious deskpad

[night atlas]

i am a casual slowpad user

[modern rock]

Bro the v3 pro is literally 170 euros isn't it little 😭

[paper bison]

It's a great mouse, it's lasted me since release day no issues
