im watching the wooting video on the assembly anyone know where the silicon blocker is suppose to be at? i cant find it anywhere

[sacred elm]

LED bar

[keen roost]

i found it thanks

[frigid halo]

Is this the direction I insert these? They said north

[sacred elm]

Yes.

[frigid halo]

Ok thanks

[hexed crow]

do MOA keycaps work on the 80HE? if not then what kind do?

[uneven cradle]

Rawhuks in my venom and tikkens in my 80HE

(the Tikkens haven't arrived yet )

[chilly mural]

Tikken is there, you just haven't realised it arrived yet

[robust siren]

i got titons before mods

@tropic urchin is in his own little world

[uneven cradle]

Aye man some of us have living on the other side of the world debuff

[robust siren]

i got orange man trolling us

why is kbdfans giving me a tracking number for instabox

[harsh dove]

Lol technically I got to try them a while ago

but I received mine two days ago

[robust siren]

if fluxes didnt exist i think id use the tikkens

[harsh dove]

Yeah I really like the Tikkens tbh , they feel really nice to me

[robust siren]

55g is a weird spot

idk if its just me or like the tikkens have a weird “step” or almost a tactile feeling to then

[glacial wind]

Probably cause you’re not as used to 55g long spring

The starting force is higher than other springs while bottom out stays same

42 instead of say 28 or 35 for most other springs starting

So the start of press requires a stiffer press to start pushing, that was on purpose for accidental actuations etc

[quiet ginkgo]

@marsh juniper hey, hopefully this question deserves an @, what address do I send my wooting post card to?

[marsh juniper]

uhhh yes... the address let me see if i can find it

[marsh juniper]

sent a DM

[quiet ginkgo]

saw it thanks!!

[ocean escarp]

Guys, do you like this type of key that I would put in the Wooting 80HE? https://aulakeyboard.com/it/prodotto/marble-side-engraved-keycaps/

[rotund perch]

as long as you like it

I think it looks good

idk how it would be with north facing leds tho

[ocean escarp]

What do you mean with north facing?

[ocean escarp]

Ok ok

[rotund perch]

some leds face south and others north

wootings are north facing iirc

[ocean escarp]

I would most likely leave them as they are in the photo

[rotund perch]

if you liek how the keycaps look get them

[ocean escarp]

Ok ty I'll consider it

Can you send me a photo? I don't have an Aliexpress account

[trail bane]

You can easily check in your browser and maybe find something you like more for a slightly lower price and bit better quality

[ocean escarp]

Other websites/brands where can I find good keycaps?

@gaunt plume https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=983080527266 huano new switch

[spiral crater]

any recs for a really clicky switch? but not like loud js higher pitched ig? and pref budget (ti he r kinda exy )

[icy blade]

Im tempting to buy raptor v2 he switches

Does anyone tested them and can tell me if they are Worth or good?
And whats Bad about them?

[tropic urchin]

They have the best combined stem wobble, but they can develop spring crunch (not everyone has felt/developed it, so might be worth gambling on since they’re cheap)

[icy blade]

Oh thanks

Is there anything what could help against the spring crunch?

[tropic urchin]

Not really, iirc it’s a design issue since most non boxstem switches aren’t that tight (for both top and bottom stability) and its design is kind of state of the art atm.

I tried spring swapping with my TTC POM switches which are the only compatible springs but still happened

[spiral crater]

owlab ti he vs herz ? are the ti he worth the extra money? i want a sound profile like the ti he but its a bit expensive, so just curious if i could get the herz instead or if there are any better switches for that really high pitched clacky sound

[icy blade]

Oh thank you

[tropic urchin]

Herz is good/similar

[spiral crater]

ahhh okok, thank you, those two would be probably the best two switches for a really high pitched build right?

yeah i had a listen but i just wanted to check, they do sound really similar.

[tropic urchin]

The most high pitched would be between owlab/original flux switches but those are going to be alot more expensive, but owlab/herz would be a good place to start

[spiral crater]

sorry could i clarify what the "owlab/original" and the "owlab/herz" switches are? are u talking about frankensteining a switch?

[tropic urchin]

Was referring to these but the original Wuque studio flux switches

They are the loudest/brightest switch to my knowledge

[rotund perch]

But one of the most expensive

[tropic urchin]

I put owlab and herz together bc they’re basically the same switch

[tropic urchin]

That’s what I said yeah

[spiral crater]

ohhhhhhh okok thank you. ill give the herz a try just cuz its a lot cheaper

[tulip rapids]

how about you buy some deep clack fluxes

https://tenor.com/view/mike-tyson-contract-gif-12557538628345171285

[rotund perch]

If only they werent expensive

[tulip rapids]

divinity comes with a cost

if it was cheap it would be at dollar tree

[rotund perch]

True

but lekker tikkens

[tulip rapids]

they lekken good

[tropic urchin]

He wants bright switches

[tulip rapids]

ahhhhhhhhh okay

[tropic urchin]

So he’d be better off with the original but not worth the WS website MSRP

[gentle bison]

Hello everyone, I just joined last night as I am getting into the advanced keyboards. I just bought the wooting 60he+ and am extremely excited for it. I do not know too much about the different kinds of switches and what is compatible or not. I was looking for some advice as to what would be the quietest switches that will work with the wooting. It doesn’t have to be of course silent but I haven’t ever been a fan of loud noises like my first two cheap previous keyboards. Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

[robust siren]

https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

[gentle bison]

Oh perfect, thank you and I will check this out

[limber vault]

Tempted to get the new switches for my 80HE

[tropic urchin]

I’d say the new Wooting tikkens would be up your alley

Just came out, affordable, has similar stability as owlab ti he and has a good sound/little more tamed from other switches

[tardy obsidian]

hey

Can I change keyboard shortcut to swap between profiles on wootility?

[tropic urchin]

when you go to remap i believe what you want is called "cycle"

[tardy obsidian]

man actually is there someone here who uses a mac layout 🙏 if so help me out, share it - wootility is confusing me

[hollow heart]

anyone have tecsee switches, and have lubed them?

[hollow heart]

did you get them and what were your thoughts?

[hexed crow]

so Akko, good keycaps yae or nae?

[queen otter]

I hope you enjoy your 60HE+!

[uneven cradle]

They're average imo, not the biggest fan of a lot of their profile options

[rotund perch]

is there really a difference if you tape mod 80he yourself

[uneven cradle]

Not really as it comes tape modded stock

[rotund perch]

yea thats what i thought

[tropic urchin]

Slight differences

emphasis on slight

[hexed crow]

gotchya gotchya, and any thoughts on Drop? I know they seem to be a bit "tiktok-y" but I can't lie some of them like the Lord of the Rings ones are fire but idk if they're quality

[gentle bison]

Thank you!, I’m very excited to see all that it has to offer

[tropic urchin]

whats the material on them?

[hexed crow]

"DCD profile, Dye-sublimated PBT, Compatible with Cherry MX switches and clones"

and it would be going on my 80HE

[uneven cradle]

They're fine keycaps, obviously paying more for the licensing. But if you dig the theme go ahead

[tropic urchin]

Depending on how much it is, might be worth it

[hexed crow]

wtf rubber keycaps are a thing? is that a cheap thing? cause they sound like they'd feel good idk why

[hexed crow]

on sale for fitty buckeroonies

[queen otter]

idk about rubber, but silicone yeah i know

[hexed crow]

they call it "rubberized ABS plastic" whatever that means lol

so what materials are generally good for keycaps?

[queen otter]

Common materials are usually ABS or PBT

ABS typically shines easier but has a brighter sound and has more punchy colors

PBT is usually more durable, usually sound a bit deeper, has more muted colors

there are other materials such as POM for that translucent shinethrough look , Polycarbonate commonly for a more transparent look, or more exotic materials like ceramic, or metal

[hexed crow]

ohhh so ABS isn't necessarily cheap or worse, it just has different cases?

[hexed crow]

oh thank you! I've been wondering what materials are translucent

[rotund perch]

i still havent really found the keycaps iw ant anyway closest is little ghost from osume

[queen otter]

yeah it depends

[hexed crow]

what do you want?

[rotund perch]

idk I'm just planning to get a black case and i'd rather get pbt

[uneven cradle]

https://wooting.io/post/abs-vs-pbt-what-are-the-best-keycaps

[paper bison]

wooting pbt keycaps are pretty good tbh if you just want a black set

[rotund perch]

yea fair but idk lmao

[paper bison]

depends how much you wanna spend on keycaps

i just got pbtfans crosshair but they were like $100 after shipping and customs

$115.92

[rotund perch]

i dont mind spending a ton lol

[autumn temple]

Thinking about if I should swap my 60HE stock steel plate to the PC plate? The 80HE uses the PC plate and I liked the way it sounded. Is there a huge difference in terms of typing feel and sound going from a steel to a PC plate?

[sacred elm]

Yes, there's significant difference

[autumn temple]

Please explain

[sacred elm]

If you like more muted sound and softer feel, get PC

[autumn temple]

Cause typing on the steel plate is super hard

I notice that

[sacred elm]

Yeah, steel is the stiffest plate

[autumn temple]

And the new 60HE V2 has FR4?

Whats the difference between steel, FR4, and PC?

[sacred elm]

FR4 is a balanced plate, kinda between steel and PC.

[autumn temple]

Cause I think that I am after that softer typing feel, steel plate doesnt feel very satisfying when typing on cause its so harsh and when you clash down on a key there just so much resistance and stifness when you bottom out

Doesnt that mean I would most likely find a different plate more satisfying to type on? How would you describe the PC plate feels sorry if it feels like we are going in circles just want to know before I make a buy?

@sacred elm

[sacred elm]

Yeah, sounds like you’d like the PC plate more. It feels really soft and has a muted sound compared to steel, way less harsh when you bottom out. FR4 is kind of in between; it’s stiffer and louder than PC, but still much quieter and softer than steel. So if you want something that feels softer and less stiff, PC would definitely be more satisfying to type on.

[autumn temple]

Basically bottoming out on steel plate stock 60HE feels very BLUNT and I think I probably would prefer A BIT more cushion not so harsh to type on. That is the best way I would describe typing on the 60HE steel plate its very harsh to bottom out on

[sacred elm]

Get PC plate from Wooting then 👍

[autumn temple]

Gonna have to give it a try out will never know until you try it out but it sounds like the way to go for me

Fuck man I just ordered the Tikkens I could have ordered the PC switch plate with it now I just wasted more money :(((

🙁

[uneven cradle]

Probably also doubled up because of the tray mounting on the 60HE if you had the friction fit it would probably be less harsh

[calm pulsar]

softer plate will not "cushion" the bottom out, cause it doesnt change the switch itself, but it will reduce vibrations that occur after the bottom out of the switch

but it will still feel a bit softer and quieter to type

[autumn temple]

Does it not feel softer to type on?

[sacred elm]

It does

[autumn temple]

ye thats what i thought

[sacred elm]

What case are you using

[autumn temple]

And quieter

[calm pulsar]

it does, Im just saying it will not soften the way the switch bottoms out

like a silent switch would

[autumn temple]

Im using the plastic ABS I think stock one

[sacred elm]

I'd recommend friction fit pad, Hopper mentioned above, but it's not compatible with the plastic case.

[autumn temple]

Yeah thats ok im not complaining about my switch im just complaining about how the steel feels STIFF

Cause like lets use the Tikkens as an example, typing with Tikkens on the steel is going to feel different than typing with teh Tikkens on PC

Even though the switch is closed bottom isnt the typing feel is still going to feel different when you are bottoming out ?

It changes out the bottom out feeling like when you are typing on PC isnt it going to feel different

@sacred elm @calm pulsar

[calm pulsar]

if you hold a steel plate and a soft plastic plate like PC and knock on them, it will produce a different sound and will give different feedback to you

so in a keyboard the difference will be similar to this

best I can describe it lol

[autumn temple]

Ok thanks

I just realized though the 80HE has a ton of different internals compared to the 60HE its very different

[calm pulsar]

safe to say PC will be quieter and softer feeling so just get it

yeah 80he has a softer mounting system too which affects the sound as well

[rotund perch]

what plate does 80he come with, POM ?

[autumn temple]

Thats essentially what I am after that softer typing feeling and if it produces a slightly quieter sound then im game for that too

[tropic urchin]

Plates are something that you have to try a few before you get a good idea of what you prefer. It also lets you try different builds overtime so it gives you some versatility. So even if you do get a few plates, its not a huge waste imo

[autumn temple]

PC

[calm pulsar]

PC

[rotund perch]

ah

[autumn temple]

The 80HE stock also comes with a tape mod

Stock 80HE is pretty fking decked out internally

For sound dampening

Compared to the 60 HE+

[tropic urchin]

the biggest difference between PC and FR4 is that when you hold the PC plate it flops around like a fish out of water, where FR4 is more rigid, but when you're typing FR4 still has an inbetween feel for softness and rigidity for gaming

[sacred elm]

Tape mod is not always good for sound dampening

It might even make your keyboard louder

[autumn temple]

No im just saying its got a lot going on internally the 80HE

[robust siren]

wait i got the video

[autumn temple]

Comes stock with tons of mods

[robust siren]

i present: le PC plate

[sacred elm]

Ah yeah, Stock 80HE is better than stock 60HE in terms of that

[tropic urchin]

YO that thing got bend

i was scared low key

[autumn temple]

Damn its so flimsy

Interesting

Thanks for the feedback everyone and you are right you wont know if you truly like it until you give it a shot

[autumn temple]

Gonna pull the trigger with the PC switch plate mod on wooting website for 60HE and will see how I like it with the Tikkens. My Tikkens are supposed to come tomorrow also

the video i linked were the tikkens

[trail bane]

I’m all in on titon + Copper top mount synergy

[autumn temple]

Oh I didnt realize that

You sent it because its the Tikkens on a PC plate sound test?

[trail bane]

[robust siren]

https://tenor.com/view/how-to-steal-that-cat-gif-11741208861580011364

[robust siren]

yep

also friction fit

[autumn temple]

Let me relisten

[autumn temple]

I mean does it really make a huge difference screw in or friction fit for sound?

[sacred elm]

Yours will sound different because of plastic case and tray mount

[robust siren]

yes

lemme send a comparison of other switches rq

[calm pulsar]

did you order tikkens already?

[trail bane]

Kinda

[robust siren]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

listen to the 1st and 2nd

[autumn temple]

I hear slight difference

[robust siren]

tray mounting transfers a lot of the vibrations into the case
friction fit pad pretty much gets rid of that

[quiet ginkgo]

anyone here done a tape mod on the uwuting pad? any noticeable difference?

[analog reef]

help me out chat, I need to find some nice pastel keycaps (gradients are cool if they can be found, if not idc) -- they cannot be shine through though qwq
looking for pinks/blues/purples n stuff like that, if it's girly we love that

werent you looking at osume? they fit that color palate very well

[robust siren]

WS Fluxes Deep Clacky

[prime orbit]

Holy

The overpriced ones

Oh

Nvm

The ok ones

[robust siren]

they arent my cup of tea due to the spring weight but id say overall theyre nice

[calm pulsar]

I like the colorless enter key, berry nice

[prime orbit]

[robust siren]

ikr

like can you see your flux and gold wire stabs

[prime orbit]

I was debating deep flux, raptor v2 or token

Tikken

Not sure what I want yet

[autumn temple]

You have these on the PC plate correct?

[robust siren]

i can send a sound comparison between deep flux and tikkens

[robust siren]

What’s the travel on them?

[calm pulsar]

I love my Astrolinks/Raptors, but I also have a pack of Flux waiting to be tried out

[robust siren]

dcf are 3.5mm iirc

[robust siren]

yeah it just felt weird to me, i used 40g raws for a year before i got the flux deep clacky which are 50g and used them for less than a week before i tried out the tikkens which are 55g

[autumn temple]

Generally speaking, is higher weight bottom out better for typing?

Also how did you like the Tikkens on the PC plate how did they feel?

[robust siren]

im not sure as since im so used to 40g i get fatigued quicker on higher spring weights

though im trying to fix that by brute forcing my way through flux deep clacky

[robust siren]

i dont really have anything equal to compare them to

[autumn temple]

You definitely can acclimate to the higher weight springs you just arent used to it thats all.

[robust siren]

id say if theyre your first new set of switches, i think youd like them just fine, tighter tolerances overall compared to lekker v1+v2s

they sound nicer with the closed bottom

[autumn temple]

Nice

Im thinking of pairing them with a PC plate cause im using stock steel right now but I dont think I like it that much

[prime orbit]

Flux def better to me

Travel distance doesn’t matter too much right?

[robust siren]

im ngl i tossed the steel plate like a week into having the wooting lol

[robust siren]

personally no, i used raws which were 3.4mm for a year

and fluxes are 3.5

[prime orbit]

I had Raws as well

Then raptor v2

[robust siren]

ah then itll be fine

[prime orbit]

Bet bet

[calm pulsar]

they include a nice little card with switch specs, cool

[prime orbit]

If travel distance doesn’t affect anything why do people talk about it?

I’m just confused on what it affects

[robust siren]

some people like the full 4mm travel

[calm pulsar]

it does affect the physical feel a little bit
simply a bigger distance to travel to the bottom

doesn't affect actuation that much cause its HE

[robust siren]

my card for dcfs were wrong

[prime orbit]

Ah gotcha

[autumn temple]

Yeah cause its so stiff right? Does the PC make a huge difference cause for me the steel feels very unsatisfying to type on too stiff

Total travel distance is personal prefernce

[robust siren]

well personally i did it for sound

[calm pulsar]

lol did they put the normal flux card?

[robust siren]

nah wrong material for one of the swtich parts

[autumn temple]

What about in terms of feel

Do you feel it less stiff

[robust siren]

id say so but plates typically arent supposed to flex as much on HE keyboards

[robust siren]

i didnt even know it came with a card

at least from those who ordered from ali never said they got a card but everyones did arrive in that jar

i got mine from ggboy in aliexpress

[calm pulsar]

I got mine from mmd ainy and they included a card hehe

[robust siren]

ainy wanted me to give them an extra 20 compared to ggboy

https://tenor.com/view/cat-stare-gif-22341545

alright i know its 6:39am over in beijing rn but i kinda need them to wake up and give me my gt60 case right neow

anyways @prime orbit if you wanna order DCF on aliexpress heres the links: just check whichever one is cheapest for you

[limpid tinsel]

What do you guys think is the nicest case I can put my wooting in? Currently have it in a salvation, and might pick up a patina tofu when it comes back in stock

[chilly mural]

I can see that the flux is better

[uneven cradle]

Salvation is already a nice case imo, I have mine in a og frog mini

gt60, optimum, frog mini leggera are all good options too

[limpid tinsel]

Yeah I was just wondering if anything looked better

[tropic urchin]

they would be really good imo if they made them a bit tighter overall, but I didnt notice the heavier spring as much so thats a decent win for tikken

[obsidian mauve]

does anyone have a wooting 80he profile that allows setting up something similar to auto hotkey?

essentially making holding down a button into spamming it

[sacred elm]

You can't do it with Wootility.

Only with AutoHotKey.

[obsidian mauve]

i see

is it jsut a downloadable program or is it much more complicated than that?

im not too experienced in the area

[sacred elm]

Same, can't help there sorry

[obsidian mauve]

no worries

[calm pulsar]

they are both very good honestly
the switch stabiliity is just so perfect these days, I think switch manufacturers should try different materials now, like WS are doing with Flux/DCF

I prefer rapter/astrolink sound vs fluxes

[tropic urchin]

wonder if it will be possible to get S ranked top wobble with octagonal stem kinda like how HMX has S tier bottom stability without having walled stem

[sour blade]

Which switch in this list would replace geon raws?

[calm pulsar]

I think HMX achieves this by having a longer rail part of the stem compared to more standard switches like owlabs/tikkens/jades

it makes top wobble very good, but may introduce extra tightness, which is a plus for us MX Susans, amirite @fluid ravine

lol "Alright Bud Guy"

[sour blade]

I use geon raws myself are there a better switch from that list for me to recommend to others

[fluid ravine]

Alright bud

[calm pulsar]

if you're gonna stream you should replace chat with bud

bud is this real

[fluid ravine]

😂

alr bud

[sacred elm]

Yes, any of them

You can find more switches and their sound tests here: https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

Raws aren't there for a reason

[tropic urchin]

gateron wasting all that time with dual rail when they just needed the Large and Tall rail this entire time

[royal karma]

besides getting tikkens, is there any other upgrade for the two he available?

[fluid ravine]

literally anything from the switch list

[sacred elm]

Scroll up a bit

[royal karma]

no, my point is, besides getting new switches

[calm pulsar]

they might've meant other things to do with keyboard other than switches

but for 2he there's pretty much nothing else you can do lol

[fluid ravine]

ah

[royal karma]

oh well, saves me some money then lol

[fluid ravine]

i read that so wrong

[sacred elm]

Oh, other than doing some small mods such as the tape mod, not really.

[calm pulsar]

you could try different foams for the case and tape mod, but it's not gonna be as meaningful as replacing plastic case with a metal case, which isn't available on 2he

[sour blade]

Whats most similar for me to recommend?

[uneven cradle]

Owlab ti hes are most similar in terms of sound and price

[royal karma]

two he has 104 keys if I counted correctly, what are you supposed to do? get two 70 packs?

[sacred elm]

Duhuk Herz/Owlab Ti/UR Ice Ultra - budget options, good sound and feel, decent wobble
Wuque Flux "Deep Clacky" - a bit pricy, has less stem wobble while bottoming out, sound/feel good

[uneven cradle]

Pretty much, some stores aside from Wooting sell switches individually

[royal karma]

[calm pulsar]

there's no 35 pack? bummer

[royal karma]

only 70 and 90 on wootings website

[sacred elm]

^ @royal karma

[royal karma]

i shall wait then, no hurry, thanks

[polar agate]

Im gonna give up 😭 What am I doing wrong? I just put geon spacers cause keycap was loose on sides and it started working like that.

[fluid ravine]

stab pads lol

[smoky merlin]

So i have the alumaze case but i want the gold accent piece to match the rest of my set with silver accents. Would it be a bad idea to spray paint the accent piece silver?

[fluid ravine]

The stab pads under your stabilizers are probably drenched with lube making it sticky on bottom out. Your solution would be taking out the stabilizers and removing the pads by hand and cleaning the area. Then reassemble the stab without the stab pad.

[fluid ravine]

Not a bad idea, some people painted and some people use vinyl wrap

[robust siren]

i dont see why not

[sacred elm]

That happens because of sticky stabilizer pads, you need to remove them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBwhRDOVgJk

[polar agate]

I recently bought some cheap ones, but I Think it was bad idea

[fluid ravine]

What did you buy?

[polar agate]

Is sound gonna be still good without them

[fluid ravine]

Bottom out should be a bit more solid and louder compared to having it with stab pads.

The point of stab pads is to dampen the bottom out of the stabilizers but most boards dont even use it unless people really want to

[polar agate]

I bought some teflon ones

[fluid ravine]

biggest problem with them is the stickign issue

[polar agate]

So this could be a reason for all my stabs problems 😭

Thanks for help

[fluid ravine]

yh np

[polar agate]

I didnt know its that hard ‚hobby’ 🤣

[fluid ravine]

lmao we learn along the way

@sacred elm yall said yall removed the stab pads in newer batches of the 80he right?

[sacred elm]

Yes, they're not using stab pads anymore

[polar agate]

I just wanted to ask if stock ones could be a problem too

[fluid ravine]

thank the lord

[sacred elm]

After the first batch I think they stopped using

[fluid ravine]

stab pads in general tbh

[fluid ravine]

oh damn it's been a while then

[sacred elm]

Yeah

[polar agate]

Maybe it will end my journey to perfection 🤣

[fluid ravine]

My YIKB stabs came with stab pad stickers and i tried them, like they worked fine just as they should but in the end i didn't like them so i took them out

[fluid ravine]

nothing is perfect
but those imperfections is what makes it beautiful 🌹

[polar agate]

Also, are screw in stabs worse than clip ins?

Cause I Think i made a mistake buying screw on TX ap

[fluid ravine]

no such thing as "worst" but keep in mind they work pretty similarly, one clips into the pcb and one uses screws. Screws are obv gonna be more secure but clip ins are more easier to install

I have TX AP LP clip ins and im not gonna lie, im not a fan of them

[polar agate]

Im trying to get them right for a long time

[fluid ravine]

it hasn't worked out for me
doesn't have to do with like screw in vs clip in but rather than the mold of the stab itself which was my issue

[fluid ravine]

Knights v1 through v4 and YIKB stabs are great

[polar agate]

I wanted to buy anothet ones , but price is not that low

[fluid ravine]

ah

[polar agate]

So im trying to get them right

[fluid ravine]

why not use the stock 80he stabs?

those are good enough

[polar agate]

I couldnt make them right too

[fluid ravine]

give them proper lube and care and they will be just as perfectg

only difference with more expensive or newer stabs is that newer stabs are a lot mroe easier to tune and require less lube

but either ways, once any of these types of stabs are lubed, they will all perform the same

it's just the process of tuning is different with the level of effort per say

[polar agate]

Should i use krytox or permatex with stock ones

?

[fluid ravine]

https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8

Krytox 205g0 on stem and housing walls, krytox on wire for tighter stabs or you can use grease for older stabs

[polar agate]

Will enough lube make them right even with not perfectly balanced wires?

[fluid ravine]

Honestly idk what people mostly do with wooting stock screw in stabs but if i were to tune them myself

I would just do light coat of krytox 205g0 on stem wall and housing walls, and really thing coat of grease on the wires. Apply more grease if needed)

[fluid ravine]

Honestly it's pretty difficult to get stabs to be perfectly straight, so it's best to just try to get it to be straight as much as possible then go with it. But would always recommend checking on stab wires.

[polar agate]

I even bought aluminium plate to balance them, cause i heard its better to tune, and still couldnt balance them

[fluid ravine]

like a bar plate or wtv just to wire balance stab wires?

[robust siren]

use the back of your phone 🔥 balancing method

[calm pulsar]

real

[fluid ravine]

[polar agate]

Magsafe 😭

[fluid ravine]

i go big and use my phone screen

[robust siren]

didnt bother me for my wires

i balanced them on a 15 pro max

[fluid ravine]

wouldnt even bother much tbh

[polar agate]

Like cnc plate or something

[calm pulsar]

mmmmmm nahhhhhhh

[fluid ravine]

i had to figure out the lube measurement for YIKB

i was so confused for abit'

cus that shit keeps leaking

now i dont even care anymore

[robust siren]

my lube measurement for knights:
dunk the end of the wire into the container of lube and its costed perfectly all around

[fluid ravine]

my left shift is so meh on my neo65

i dont even wanna bother tuning it

i think i even ran out of lube anyways

i use to have that plate thanks to frijoles

when i had my 60he

[calm pulsar]

yeah that plate is exactly wooting spec, which desnt work well with other stabs

[fluid ravine]

TX AP were my first 3rd party stab that is screw in, and they were very nice for me
though I used them with GMK from the start

[fluid ravine]

yessssssssssirrrrrrr

[fluid ravine]

i shouldve gotten like non long pole

what was i thinking

smh

i regret purchasing them

[calm pulsar]

I remember using long pole TX AP stems in wooting stock stabs, it was so tight lol

[flat cobalt]

[true lodge]

are the ttc king of hall effects and wooting x ttc kom pom switches the same thing roughly?

[sacred elm]

TTC POM and Wooting POM are basically the same. The only difference is the spring weight: Wooting POM - 40g initial 55g bottom out / TTC POM - 35g initial 45g bottom out

[true lodge]

ahhhh

shame its hard to find heavier springs that are 20-22mm

[spiral crater]

is it possible to do a no foam build on wooting? bought the poron foam mod kit but i realised i have no gaskets

[true lodge]

does anyone know where to find non magnetic 20-22mm 80-100g switch springs cuz i've had no luck

[sacred elm]

TX sells 20mm 70g HE compatible springs

[true lodge]

thanks i'll check that out

i say one on amazon

but i dont really trust it

[true lodge]

sorry to bother you one last time but you seem to know your stuff, is it recomended to use shorter spring lengths like the ones that wooting sell in switches that come with longer springs

cuz atp i might just do that

[spiral crater]

any chance to go foamless on the wooting 80he?

have the original wooting 80 silicone as well as this modding kit from toronto keyboard man but im pre sure both require foam for the gaskets

[sacred elm]

Depends on a switch, it's not recommended to use Lekker springs in TTC switches, because the diameter is bigger

[true lodge]

ah

[sacred elm]

No case foam? Yes, you can do that

[jade narwhal]

ofc you can go foamless

[spiral crater]

but u need plate foam right

cuz thatss where the gasekts are

or do i just drop the pcb in the middle , would that be fine

[sacred elm]

Poron gasket or silicone gasket, yes

[spiral crater]

what are the sound differences between the two if u dont mind me asking?, like howd you find the sound changed?

[sacred elm]

I haven't tried poron gasket

It's probably louder, not sure

[spiral crater]

and it aint recommended to use the 80 with no gaskets right? like just dropping the pcb in the middle of the case

[sacred elm]

You can't do that

[spiral crater]

ill short smth?

[sacred elm]

You need gasket to mount the module

[spiral crater]

im using the gt80 case so i can kind of just drop the pcb in the case and close the lid

im just worried if it might cause some dmg

[open sapphire]

if you're using poron plate foam i would recommend keeping the case foam to provide some support since poron plate foam is too soft and does not have bumps like silicon to precisely fit stock case and gt80

[little glen]

chance for damage, itll rattle around in there and not stay in place, chance to short etc

lots of things that could go wrong if you dont use gasket

if you dont like the sound you can remove the middle part of it by cutting it

[paper bison]

If this is for 10 switches, how is it the same price on TorontoKeyboardMan as it was on AliExpress

[final goblet]

Why is it that Geon raw or the gat jade isn't in this recommended post on the FAQ even though both of those are sold by wooting on the site?
#🪛│modding_faq message

[jade narwhal]

bc they're out of date

[final goblet]

What's out of date about them?

[ionic breach]

newer ones just have less wobble

[paper bison]

Since those were added to the store, HE switches have become more common and there are as good as/better switches readily available, not on Wooting's site.

[ionic breach]

lekker tikkens

[ionic breach]

basically even if u like these 2

[final goblet]

That doesn't seem to paint the full picture though because the geon raw seems to have less wobble than the owlabs TI HE
(based off the pinned comments)

[ionic breach]

owlabs and jade pros are like the next generation of them

[final goblet]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[ionic breach]

owlabs have less wobble

[tropic urchin]

https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

[final goblet]

Useful, thank you

[tropic urchin]

If you find RAWs on here you’ll see they have B+/B+ for both wobbles

[final goblet]

gotcha

[tropic urchin]

But long story short they’re not on the list bc there’s been 15+ new switches to release and have taken their places

[final goblet]

I'll dig through these and cross refrence, thanks

geon sounded nice though ;-;

[tropic urchin]

The new jades for sound are deep clack flux if you’re interested in that sound profile

[ionic breach]

still a fine pick up

[paper bison]

If you like the sound of the RAW then get them, they're not bad by any means lol

[ionic breach]

in fact im on raws rn

[jade narwhal]

sound depends on your preference. if u like it, just buy it.

[final goblet]

Thanks for the reaffirmation

For refrence, this would be my first custom kb after looking at it all for a number of years,

Lots of reading ahead

[jade narwhal]

i'm also on raw right now.

[tropic urchin]

Poron gasket is a lot softer (and will introduce some added flex), but if you’re running a deeper switch it helps mute higher frequencies while bringing out the lower to mid frequencies

[queen otter]

I can say they are pretty decent yes

[tropic urchin]

For a first board sure, my point being made was they aren’t on the list bc there’s better options now (owlabs taking their place)

[queen otter]

yeah, they are kinda the successors

I'll probably buy myself some raptor HE v2s because i really wanna test out that stem wobble

albeit the spring crhnch i heard about sounded like it would be awful, i hope that was an isolated batch 1 case

[tropic urchin]

It’s a 50/50 gamble

Me, Shafie, aligner, joshiba, toasty and maybe 1-2 other cases developed it, but others either haven’t noticed or haven’t gotten it

Worth it tho if you don’t get it

[trail bane]

Raws are good cuz you can use them for himeras like rawhuks

[tropic urchin]

It’s not an everyday thing, but it occurs every 1-3 days on your most used keys (WASD)

[trail bane]

Shutout to frogson

[tropic urchin]

Where you’ll feel on bottom out it gets more wiggly and then you can feel the entire spring develop scoliosis

[ocean escarp]

Do you know of any high-quality black ANSI 80% layout PBT Double-Shot Cherry profile shine-through keycap sets? I can't find any

[trail bane]

Hmm

I’m not sure honestly

[tropic urchin]

Could probably find a few on Amazon but they’ll be the usual random keycaps found on Amazon quality

[ocean escarp]

I must have done 300 searches, and the only ones I found were those from EPOMAKER, which do not sell separately, and some from YMDK, but they seem to be of mediocre quality

[tropic urchin]

its very strange there isnt more, but unfortunately they look to be unicorns :/

Dyesub PBT I think should be good enough for your purposes even if it isnt double shot, but its either you compromise with that and get the wooting keycaps or basically you'd need to either be accepting of OEM vs Cherry or give up shine thru all together and probably get more options for doubleshot PBT cherry keycaps

[ocean escarp]

Yes the problem is the cherry with the shine-through, this combination seems impossible to find

[tropic urchin]

I think its a problem with shine through in particular having limited high quality options and then add on those other factors and its really difficult

[earnest root]

can some1 send me the best wooting lecker settings for 60he plus

dm

[ocean escarp]

The only option if I want quality is to get the EPOMAKER G84 80% keyboard, remove the keycaps, and resell it for less...

And put the YMDK keycaps on top for €20

just get non shine through

use marbles

[tropic urchin]

As in like a marbly clack sound profile

[proper wave]

ye

[tropic urchin]

I’d recommend deep clack flux if you want best stability, if not you could go for UR ice/Phylina too which will have a deep profile as well

Depending on your board (80HE/60HE) you’ll have some different options

[proper wave]

any mods to go with it aside from the basic lube and tape mods

i have the 60he

[sour blade]

Thankyou

[sacred elm]

Different plate

[tropic urchin]

I kinda like 1 layer tape mod, use a stiffer plate (aluminum or CF plate) and use poron pad

[sacred elm]

Add Lekker Tikken to that list, Wooting's new switch

It's good

[proper wave]

thks

[tropic urchin]

I’m using DCF on CF plate with poron gasket on 80HE and it’s been the most marbly I’ve been able to get mine

As a marbly clack enthusiast it’s been great

[sour blade]

for the switches in that list

is there any switch with superior factory lube implementation

[uneven cradle]

Pretty much all the switches on that list are lubed well enough it wouldn't be worth opening up and lubing them yourself

[sacred elm]

Switches have very good factory lube nowadays

[sour blade]

thankyou for the info i come from an older time

[robust siren]

im waiting for my gt60 case with the carbon fiber plate and im currently on fluxes
i can send a sound test when i get it

[sour blade]

Also i assume Wuque Flux has least topout wobble? any notable switch from that list with minimal topout wobble?

[robust siren]

currently using them on an FR4 plate in the tofu with friction fit

[tropic urchin]

The best top wobble is currently raptor v2 since it has both S tier wobble, but has the chance to get spring crunch

[sour blade]

Can
Sprint crunch be solved by self lube?
or have to replace spring?

[tropic urchin]

No just a casualty of how tight the switch is to get both S tier wobbles, it’s an issue with bottom house design

[sour blade]

oh i see

[tropic urchin]

Basically what happens is every so often when you bottom out with raptors, the switch feels more wobbly than usual and you can feel the spring through the switch and it feels like it has scoliosis

It’s not an every day thing but it can be annoying

Some people have gotten it, some people either haven’t noticed or haven’t gotten it so it’ll vary depending on who you ask

[sour blade]

scoliosis hahaha

i see thankyou

[tropic urchin]

i should get to recording a sound test with abs

i just realized i havent yet

[proper wave]

btw is the plate foam or silicone better

[tropic urchin]

I’ve found silicone brings out the higher frequencies which makes it less marbly, poron emphasizes the lower to mid frequencies while getting rid of the highs

[sacred elm]

Silicone friction fit pad

[tropic urchin]

Worth trying both if possible

[tropic urchin]

Never too late to convert

[robust siren]

i should get an 80 and buy a matching gt80 case

[tropic urchin]

@calm pulsar was the latest Chad converter to GT80

[robust siren]

im getting silver gt60 🌹

[tropic urchin]

Game recognizes game

[robust siren]

its gasket mounted

[calm pulsar]

silver for the win

I gotta try mo other sets on this

[robust siren]

goodbye friction fit pad

[tropic urchin]

The typing angle is so goated

[rotund perch]

if there is a sexy abs set that fits perfectly do i just get it even if its abs lmao

[tropic urchin]

I remember struggling with zinc and got fed up changing its angles just so the top lip didn’t feel out of place

[robust siren]

now i wonder how the hybrid silicone/poron pad will sound since i never cut the friction fit pad

[tropic urchin]

One of the best keycaps you can get are ABS exclusive so I’m not sure what you mean

[rotund perch]

Fair enough cause i really do want pbt but abs sets look better

[robust siren]

i didnt test tikkens with pbt keycaps

[tropic urchin]

it’s a myth that gets perpetuated a lot but aside from ABS getting smoother over time there isn’t a better between the two, both have their use cases for differing sound etc

[rotund perch]

ah

do keycaps really make that much of a difference for sound

[tropic urchin]

They can help alter it

[robust siren]

i just sent the difference xd

[tropic urchin]

They’re more feel with secondary sound differences

[rotund perch]

Woops

[rotund perch]

ok pbt is deeper but its not that big of a difference

[robust siren]

only the backspace and spacebar should be compared between those 2 vids

cause shift and enter are made of a different plastic

[rotund perch]

should i get gt-80 or tikkens first

[robust siren]

fluxes

[tropic urchin]

Probably GT80

Tikkens are a more interesting press, but have little shakier top wobble than owlabs so I’d probably just get GT80 to start since that’s going to be the main foundational piece of the build

[chilly mural]

Yesh, its not like tikken is going out of stock any time soon.

[tropic urchin]

I really wish the top wobble was cooked a little bit more

[rotund perch]

No I am the tikken

[rotund perch]

its better than v2s though right

i wish gt-80 had wood strip lol

[tropic urchin]

Never tried them, but they should be

[rotund perch]

yea thats fine then

[tropic urchin]

Think they had B+/B+ and tikken is A-/A

[rotund perch]

owlab top wobble is perfectly fine for me so tikken should be fine

[trail bane]

Gt80 definitely

[rotund perch]

alr

[little glen]

can dhl hurry tf uppppp

[timber crystal]

I will be moding wooting 60he v2 (if i will get to buy it pre-order) and im asking what mods should i do to make it as deep as possible

will get tofu60 redux and probably pbtfans lyla keycaps

[flat cobalt]

Remember when people hyped the Raw switches up

[sacred elm]

V2 will be already good as it is, you won't need to mod it.

[timber crystal]

yea ik but still

[calm pulsar]

good old days 👴

[timber crystal]

i think it could be deeper

than stock

[robust siren]

mainly switches and maybe a plate swap

plastic will sound deeper than an aluminum case btw

[sacred elm]

Get PC plate from Wooting with the module, also try with and without a tape mod

[calm pulsar]

more like it will be more dead sounding, but metal cases have a potential to have a deeper cleaner sound imo

[flat cobalt]

[sacred elm]

If you plan to buy Tofu60, get brass weight too. It will make the sound cleaner and less hollow

[tropic urchin]

life comes at ya fast

[sacred elm]

Also it's recommended to ground the case with a conductive sponge like Optimum case or screwing one of the screws in the case

[flat cobalt]

I’m still repping the Jade Pros

[robust siren]

oh fuck

i didnt even think about this

for the gt60

[sacred elm]

Not needed with the GT60 I think

[robust siren]

how so?

[flat cobalt]

Yeah I didn’t get anything like that with my GT80

[robust siren]

gt80 has a daughterboard

thats screwed into the case

[flat cobalt]

[sacred elm]

Actually I don't know, but it should be fine

[robust siren]

will wooting support send me one

[sacred elm]

No

[sacred elm]

If it was needed, KBD would include it with the case

[flat cobalt]

What do you use 80he or 60he

[sacred elm]

Currently 80, but getting Optimum 60v2

[robust siren]

wait a second... can i even fit the tofu foam into this case

https://tenor.com/view/hmm-suspect-gif-22611582

as you can tell absolutely 0 research was done before buying this case

and i cannot find any other build videos for it

[sacred elm]

Just use polyfill

[flat cobalt]

Can’t wait for the Cherry Love keycaps

I’m done with the Cosmos

[little glen]

also swapped off the cosmos cause i needed a lil change up

i really want to use the sloth but i dont have a case for it 😭

[flat cobalt]

Sloth :o?

[little glen]

https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-cyl-sloth

got mine a lil bit ago

looks so good

[flat cobalt]

I regret not buying the Seal X Cosmos

[little glen]

thats pretty

[flat cobalt]

X-rays got a rerelease?

[robust siren]

a while ago yeah

[flat cobalt]

I thought they’d be out of stock by now

[reef oar]

https://www.mechmods.co.uk/collections/on-sale/products/milkyway-keys-barista?variant=44188473721055

these are so sexy

would pair perfectly with the mocha

might get at some point

i need brown/cream

[tulip rapids]

how many people bought dc fluxes today?

[tulip rapids]

what switches do you have now?

boom idc buy some dc fluxes

https://tenor.com/view/mike-tyson-contract-gif-12557538628345171285

[naive swift]

they’re nice

[autumn temple]

Yo so does anyone know if I buy the Wootng 60HE V2 module does it come with all the case dampening and other shit advertised in the prebuilt?

Like if I buy the module only does that also come with FR4 plate and friction fit pad?

[polar girder]

It’s clean af. But it’s MX so who cares 😜

[sacred elm]

Yes

[polar girder]

Until the day that custom TMR PCB’s are ez to print

Then I might have ragrets

[autumn temple]

The 80HE is also friction fit stock right?

[uneven cradle]

Nope, it's gasket mounted

[autumn temple]

Whats the difference between gasket mounted versus friction fit is one better or worse than the other for sound and feel?

[uneven cradle]

Haven't actually tried the friction fit myself yet but I would say the difference is likely subjective but it will feel a lot nicer than your standard tray mounting

[autumn temple]

What do you mean by feel nicer does it sound nicer also?

[robust siren]

aliexpress hella funny for this

crossed out original price for it to be higher

💀

[chilly mural]

"Pray I don't alter the deal any further."

[hollow heart]

anyone have an idea on aimbone80 vs wooting zinc alloy case?

i almost am leaning towards wooting zinc case just cause the wrist rest from wooting will match well.

[glossy pagoda]

Anyone receive their tikkens yet?

[uneven cradle]

Mine took the slow route I think

I don't think they have left the warehouse yet

Unless dhl did that thing where they don't scan your package

[timid saddle]

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808635614804.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt

will there be a difference at all in the 700gs or 900gs

[ionic breach]

prob not

[analog reef]

..........aluminium foil?

[hollow heart]

sound deadening mat cut to fit

[analog reef]

💀 damn

is a wrist rest worth? not sure if I want or need one

80HE case feels tall enough for me to be willing to consider it

[hollow heart]

i love wooting wrist rests

perfectly alinged with the case of the keyboard

[tulip rapids]

no

[flat cobalt]

@sacred elm Flux have shipped

[trail bane]

Soon

Today but Idk when

[little glen]

[glossy pagoda]

Customers who have the LOYALTY_SWITCHES discount code in their Wooting Hub can now apply that code to Lekker Tikken switches for 20% off.
If you already purchased but didn't use the code, contact support and they'll do a partial refund for the price difference (once the support team is back from the company gathering)

[chilly mural]

yay

[devout totem]

Thanks for that!

Got both, can't really feel the difference, stuck with 50g

All the time

My two he has l60

Got mine from divinikey

[ionic breach]

[flat cobalt]

@torn tendon https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=123743.0

[little glen]

ive been waiting for this one for so long now 😭

[sacred elm]

Initial force should be similar to Geon Raw 40/50g

[flat cobalt]

Are you getting Cherry Love?

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=125376.0

[little glen]

dont think so, i already have a set of bingsu

[sacred elm]

Ordered GMK Evil Dolch for my Optimum build

[flat cobalt]

Can’t believe I missed the raffle for this
