[rotund perch]

from aliexpress

[tropic urchin]

You’ll probably be opening up that bank account

[ocean escarp]

Ty for the feedback

[rotund perch]

yea im not doing that

so

[tropic urchin]

There is also Toronto keyboard man

[rotund perch]

deep clacks better

[ocean escarp]

Ah they are only lubricated when they are changed, or in rare cases and over a long period of time if they feel very different

[rotund perch]

oh

[misty sapphire]

i did, worth

[rotund perch]

how much do you get per

per thing

[rotund perch]

GG boy

[tropic urchin]

So the idea is you lube them once via hand lube and you won’t need to relube them for realistically anywhere between 1-3 years or until you replace the switches.

[tropic urchin]

I wouldn’t glaze flux if they weren’t great

DCF is what I wanted out of Jade pros so it feels good since Gateron are incompetent recolor merchants

[rotund perch]

I cant find how much it says lmao

but

aliexpress does

[tropic urchin]

Id email them

[rotund perch]

is it basically the same sound profile

[tropic urchin]

Idk why they don’t list but it’s priced per 10, but always good to double check with merchant

[rotund perch]

or is dcf a slight difference

[tropic urchin]

DCF is slightly deeper imo, but it matches their mahjong tile slapping sound profile they always tout

[ocean escarp]

Ok ty so much for all

[rotund perch]

ah

[tropic urchin]

Personal preference for when you relube them but generally it’ll be a long time before you do

[rotund perch]

yea idk from landers video the tikkens sound the worst

[ocean escarp]

Ok ok

[tropic urchin]

Probably the Holy80

But I didn’t say that

[rotund perch]

Maybe

and regular fluxes sound the best from there

I wonder how dcfs would be

in that

[tropic urchin]

They didn’t sound bad to me, but I’d probably use them if their top wobble was A. They felt quite fun to press but they’ll probably end up going into my venom or until I decide if I want to buy more DCF for that build

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin

https://tenor.com/view/cr1tikal-penguinz0-meme-woo-yeah-baby-gif-19316511

[rotund perch]

Yea i might fall for the dcf glaze...

[rotund perch]

What is it

[robust siren]

gt60 case

[tropic urchin]

GT65 arriving

[rotund perch]

ah

W

[robust siren]

65?

https://tenor.com/view/orange-cat-cat-side-eye-cat-side-eye-orange-cat-staring-gif-4749659952322810298

[rotund perch]

lots of arrow keys on the 60he

[tropic urchin]

Didn’t you get GT-65 for your Looting keyboard

[robust siren]

wooting from wish.com

[rotund perch]

Thocky HE 60% Looting 65HE Gaming Keyboard off of temu

[tropic urchin]

Zkeebs better ship my stabs fucking hell

[robust siren]

my case cleared customs in an hour

hopefully it arrives around when my switch puller does

[final goblet]

Why is it finding blank keycaps is so damn hard!!
I just want something to match with the brazen60

[robust siren]

what color?

[final goblet]

Red or black, I've been scrolling the vendor list for 2 days at this point

[ocean escarp]

Does anyone have a sound test for the Wooting 80he Zinc alloy with cherry profile? I can't find one on YouTube

[robust siren]

imo gmk cosmos are neat

[little glen]

gmk dots

[inland bay]

Anyone know which variant of the Tofu 60 Redux this is?

or if its still being sold?

[final goblet]

ive read that there were issues with gmk spacebar warping etc in the past, is that still the case?

[tropic urchin]

https://kbdfans.com/products/tofu60-redux-case?variant=42646888644747 looks like ecoating moon

[inland bay]

thank you so much

i was going crazy trying to figure out and thought i pressed on every variation haha

[tropic urchin]

In fairness they do have 250 options

[autumn temple]

Another question I have for the 60HE V2 is that the 60HE V2module option comes with the friction fit pad that fits directly into the metal aluminum case for the V2 correct? And also will the 60 HE V2 module be available for pre-order including the aluminum case?

[subtle cedar]

do people generally prefer the gt80 with the badge or without

idk im stuck on whether or not i want it

since im thinking of getting the pine green color

and the only badge that i would like on it is the black one

and idk if that'd look better than it just being bare

[tropic urchin]

I went without since on most it just looked like an eyesore. If you did get the Black badge you could use GMK Black and Gold and it would look kinda dope tbh

I think @little glen got a badge with his iirc

[subtle cedar]

mmmm that would look sick yeah

[little glen]

i have with badge and i like it

it fills the space nicely

[subtle cedar]

hmmmm alright then

[tropic urchin]

shafie the real MVP for bugging kbdfans to get the option added

[subtle cedar]

hell yeah

also thoughts on the kit with hotswap pcbs?

[tropic urchin]

since the original version was badge only and then shafie went on a crusade to get the non badge option

[subtle cedar]

valid, the badge def isnt for everyone

[subtle cedar]

idk if its worth the price increase, tho i do want to try and min max sound but im new to this

[queen otter]

what a beautiful tofu60 redux

[honest sparrow]

Hey guys, does someone know the size of the split bar keys for the new wooting 60? Wondering if my gmk kit splits will fit

[queen otter]

2.75u+1.25u+2.25u (L and R shift sized)

combined footprint of 6.25u

[honest sparrow]

Thank you!

[queen otter]

Yep! in terms of stabilizer compatibility, exactly 2u stabs

[honest sparrow]

I have this, will have to figure out the 1,25

[queen otter]

this is good

[queen otter]

can you send me a photo of a key set you want?

[honest sparrow]

I have the 8008 2

Gmk

[queen otter]

send photo please!

[honest sparrow]

https://omnitype.com/products/gmk-8008-2-keycap-set?srsltid=AfmBOop0mpjfR9WbY-OUivPJaWnavHHdsN0OpI8uI7q691TR2WcJZfoG

[queen otter]

do you wanna get the red or blue ones

[honest sparrow]

I already have the pink ones

And I already have the kit I sent on the previous photo, but there is not a 1,25 pink

[queen otter]

also i would consider alternative, addition, and modern kit for that extra 1.25u to complete the matching fit

[honest sparrow]

There is a one though 1*00

[queen otter]

either or

1u technically works, but there will be a large gap

[honest sparrow]

Sorry but

2,25+2,75+1 is 6 no?

[queen otter]

yes

but the spacebar the 60HE uses is 6.25u

[honest sparrow]

Oh, yeah you right

[queen otter]

yep

[honest sparrow]

Yeah but there is no pink 1,25

Only black

[queen otter]

true, but you can still use for example, the R4 1.25u shift key

that looks pretty awesome

or one of the modern keys

[honest sparrow]

I might have one

Let me reach the case

This 1,25?

[queen otter]

you can compare it to a ctrl, alt, menu, or windows key

looks like 1.5u to me

normally for 7u sets

[honest sparrow]

Yep so I dont have any

Only 1,50s left

Will have to go with this

[inland bay]

agreed

gonna order it on my next paycheck

[queen otter]

I hopr you like it, will you get a brass weight?

[queen otter]

1u still fits yes

[rotund perch]

you got an image?

[subtle cedar]

anyone know a seller for gmk black and golds that doesnt cost almost as much as the keyboard

[little glen]

yes

[rotund perch]

Gotta see it

[little glen]

use discord search

[rotund perch]

alr

[autumn temple]

Anyone plan on spring swapping the Tikkens?

[rotund perch]

ah found it

[inland bay]

yeah

[paper bloom]

dont bang or bump ur tofu btw

[inland bay]

wdym LMAO

not gamer rage proof?

[final goblet]

I've landed on the KAP generation, but I can't find any reviews of the set, do you guys have any reviews / thoughts about them

[paper bloom]

yea cuz its E Coated

E coated stuff are usually sensitive to scratches

[inland bay]

oof

[tropic urchin]

Yeah ecoating is tuff

And not tough in durability

[inland bay]

google ai sucks ass then haha

light scratches at a level 6, with deeper grooves at a level 7 😔

[tropic urchin]

Ecoating will vary from product to product, but anodized is absolutely better

[tropic urchin]

AI in general is just super unreliable

[inland bay]

yep agreed

"One reddit user said, 'Die in a fire'"

[tropic urchin]

Can work, but requires verification so you might as well have just done it yourself

[tall hollow]

anodization will almost always be more durable than e-coating

although there are limitations to anodization

some geometries anodization simply cannot get to whereas e-coating will

also e-coating is better at getting certain colors right vs anodization because of their chemistires.

hence why some colors you just cant do with anodization but you can with an e-coating

[native wharf]

hi, im looking to get some new switches for my wooting uwu, i play osu and the more my tapping technique improves the more i feel the wobble affecting me so i was looking for something more stable
i'm looking at the big chart with all the recommendations and the only issue is that i don't have a frame of reference for what these rankings mean.. for example a switch might say its top wobble is "A" but i have nothing to really compare that to since the switches i have tried aren't on the chart, i can tell it's worse than something labeled "S" or better than "B" but i don't know how much better/worse it is than what i currently have on hand
anyway i got my uwu shipped to me in november 2023 and the switches are yellow and say gateron on them so i assume they are the lekker v1 45g ones
can i maybe have some info as to how the top/bottom wobble would be rated for those? is it B? C? just so i can understand how much better something labeled A would be
thanks

[tropic urchin]

https://link.wooting.io/soundtests should have them on there

[chilly mural]

you can look at the link attached on it, it should has the stability rating

iirc, A is good, S is phenominal. Anything lower is kinda 'meh'.

[tall hollow]

average they say

[tropic urchin]

Typically A will have pretty good/very stable top wobble (feels tight and has minimal movement)

[tall hollow]

although something to keep in mind is that wobble can vary slightly (or a lot) between switch batches.

cauz there were a few times where I ordered one sku of a switch and then later bought the same sku a year later and their tolerances being wildly different

[chilly mural]

@native wharf since you're getting the uwu, it wouldn't hurt buying all 3 switches on the stability and precision and see which one you like the most out of 3

and deep clack flux

[native wharf]

that's true if the shipping costs aren't too bad i'll just order a few different ones

apparently mine are rated B for both top and bottom wobble which makes sense, it's pretty bad

[tall hollow]

same seller/storefront too, but just a later batch of the same switch, kinda sucks ngl

[native wharf]

so even A should be an improvement

[tropic urchin]

A should be a pretty big improvement for top wobble. A for bottom wobble can be little wiggly, but will be a decent improvement over B/B or even B+

[tall hollow]

I wish there was a way to quantify those exactly

[native wharf]

bottom is a bit whatever honestly, i notice it the most at the top and kinda in between i guess

[tall hollow]

rather than relative grades based on vibes

[tropic urchin]

A/S is the sweet spot for max stability atm since the only switch to try to go for S/S has crunchy springs

[tall hollow]

like +/-0.0XXmm of deflection to define the wobble rather than just giving them letters tbh

makes it all easier to compare

since you define the wobble as a neumerical value

which is 100% objective vs 100% subjective with the grading system

[rotund perch]

I could get some fluxes to just try out

Stuido 🔥

[native wharf]

the deep clack fluxes look the best but the 5 pieces pack is sold out on the official store grrrr

[rotund perch]

dont get them off official store ngl

way overpriced

but 5 pieces is only there

[robust siren]

you can get them off aliexpress for 1/2 the price

[native wharf]

oh sweet i was just about to look there

the mmd one has 5 pieces let's go

[rotund perch]

GGBOY more like GSBOY (Slang for good store)

aw man

[robust siren]

if youre US mmd global has insane shipping fees

[rotund perch]

They cant be shipped to my adress

[native wharf]

nope it says free shipping for me (greece)

[rotund perch]

It would have to be shipped somewhere else first

I think toronto keyboardman is my bet

or wait let me check

shipping is 1 more than the switches lmaooo

idk how shipping with aliexpress works

Cause it cant ship directly to me i think

nvm it can

Free shipping 😛

I could get like

10 dcfs rn

[chilly mural]

get 90

go big or go home

[tropic urchin]

I’ve gone home a couple of times then

[rotund perch]

No sorry im too broke for that rn

[chilly mural]

its aight

there's always next paycheck

[rotund perch]

I dont got a job..

well i gotta get my gt-80 firstr

Or both

[tulip rapids]

so zorna buying fluxes?

[rotund perch]

If i can get permission to yeah

[tulip rapids]

from who?

Zeus?

[rotund perch]

Yes

[high nymph]

So, Tikkens have arrived. MY GOD the packaging is sublime 😄

best 4mm switches EVAHHHHH

[tulip rapids]

evahhh evahhhh?

[rotund perch]

Gotta see it

[crystal gull]

Just replaced my Lekker V2's with Lekker Tikken and they feel and sound awesome, love it.
Same time when I was mucking around there I also installed the friction fit pad in my Alumaze60.

Dumb Q -- how do I now remove the module? The friction fit is doing what it should and providing friction, so ... how does this work?

[rotund perch]

any tactile feeling? some people said it kinda has it towards the end

this lol

[crystal gull]

Feels fairly linear sorry 😄

[rotund perch]

nah im all about linear lol

[robust siren]

so i just pull out sdf and c and pull the plate

and yoink it out of the case

[rotund perch]

And this is why the decision is so difficult between dcf and tikkens

[crystal gull]

You grab the plate with the switches still on but the keycaps removed? Or you remove the switches also, but then how do you find purchase on the plate? It's really a snug and tight affair I find

[rotund perch]

I feel like tikkens win for me in feel and travel but dcfs in sound and stability

from landers comparison lol

[crystal gull]

Also whoever designed this new switch packaging over the previous cylinder shaped ones, they should get a raise. Apple-like experience in (un)packing enjoyment.

[robust siren]

you dont need to pull all of them out

you just need to take the whole module out of the case

[rotund perch]

i really would try both but tikkens only have a 70 option minimum

[crystal gull]

Ah sorry for the confusion, I am a bit dense here, I meant, for the sdf+c keys, you remove the keycaps, and then manage to somehow grab whatever is now exposed and can pull the module out? Or do you also remove the sdf+c switches, and then somehow have a better way to grip the module to pull it out?

[robust siren]

oh i remove keycap and switches

and just pull on the plate holes

[crystal gull]

With what? 😄

[robust siren]

my fingers lmao

i dont get home for a few hours so i cant show what i mean

[crystal gull]

Well now I feel dumb, that makes way more sense than what I tried doing

No no, I get you, thanks a bunch 😄

[robust siren]

no problem haha

[rotund perch]

Ok from sno's sound tests fluxes sound just a tiny bit more deep

[robust siren]

fluxes

[rotund perch]

its too difficult the 4mm travel on tikkens....

[glacial plinth]

guys what switches are the best for my wooting 80he im trying to get that creamy feeling like really creamy u can fall asleep to it im hesitant with the jade max and the jade pro

[rotund perch]

wait the tikkens sound really good here

ITS SO DIFFERNET EACH TIME

[robust siren]

WS Flux Deep Clacky 🌹

[rotund perch]

do you notice the travel

[chilly mural]

fr, with the 20% loyalty discount, even with shipping, it's still same price as DCFlux

[glacial plinth]

hold up ima look it up

[little glen]

just get all the switches so you can see yourself

[robust siren]

heres a different one

[rotund perch]

Minimum for tikkens is 70

[little glen]

[rotund perch]

they sound good here too what about this with fluxes

[little glen]

just get 90 for all

[rotund perch]

if i had the money yeah

[robust siren]

i think this was same plate

[rotund perch]

ok yeah fluxes are deeper

[robust siren]

tikken video is zoomed cause its cropped

[rotund perch]

Lies.

Arent those crosshairs

both sound good

[robust siren]

oh wait

they are

i dont have fluxes on pc with abs

[rotund perch]

oof

ok ill get tikkens then get like 10 dcfs so i can eat them

[robust siren]

i have fluxes on fr4 with abs but i dont have tikkens on fr4 with abs

[rotund perch]

is it a big difference between fr4 and pc

[robust siren]

yeah

[tropic urchin]

Welcome to sound test and different key variance, hope you enjoy your stay

[rotund perch]

I hate this

Can i get out

[tropic urchin]

Nah you just need to buy 10 of each to give your ADHD decision making a rest imo

[robust siren]

fr4 <
pc >

[rotund perch]

How am i supposed to

I want to buy 10 tikkens

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin maybe i shoulda bought pcbsnaps with my puller…

so i can use other plates in the gt60

[tropic urchin]

Send in your post card

[rotund perch]

Wait what

[sacred elm]

Get Tikkens, return if you don't like them. At this point you'll never get switches

[tropic urchin]

Or that

[rotund perch]

True

Theres too much options

[tropic urchin]

You just need to stop listening to sound tests imo

It’s like a squirrel chasing an acorn with different colored dots, it’s paralyzing your decision making

[rotund perch]

ngl thats not even my dealbreaker its mostly cause tikkens have 4mm but fluxes have 3.5mm but top of the line stability

[robust siren]

the first sound test of ttc koms (the purple and red ver) made me a d1 hater

[rotund perch]

yeah no

[tropic urchin]

I will say, I’ve only noticed travel feeling bad on owlabs.

[rotund perch]

im not buying tikkens

wooting is evil

[tropic urchin]

Flux if you told me was 3.7mm I’d believe you

I don’t notice it at all

[rotund perch]

i love my lekker v2s lol

[tropic urchin]

4mm is a little different feel, 3.5-3.7 might as well be the same

[sacred elm]

There's not. You're only considering two options, Flux is too expensive for you iirc, Tikkens are not. Get Tikkens, listening 10 different sound tests every day won't help.

[tropic urchin]

Real type shiii

[rotund perch]

fair enough but my ears cant get enough of it

[tropic urchin]

Chop em off

[robust siren]

still dont have an eta for gt60

[tropic urchin]

Sell them for flux

[robust siren]

https://tenor.com/view/daeth-funi-periflight-dies-from-gif-22212023

[rotund perch]

Got it

well

fluxes are actually really similar to tikkens here

[tropic urchin]

Maybe make a new stew

[rotund perch]

or wait let me hceck

with the code

[robust siren]

wat

[rotund perch]

ok nvm

fluxes is like

25$ more

[young viper]

I'm debating on buying a set of tikkens or rice puddings rn lol

[rotund perch]

thought it was closer than that

i overcomplicate stuff for myself way too easily

[robust siren]

fluxes

• cup noddles

[rotund perch]

so tick it is (I will change my mind 10 times tomorrow)

[young viper]

Nah im actually just gonna glue tiny magnets to my fingers and rock no switches

True silent switches

[sacred elm]

Rice Puddings have probably the worst top wobble and they don't sound "THOCKY" like some YouTubers say.

[young viper]

Eek, noted

[marsh saffron]

Are these the same as sticky rices

Or no

[rotund perch]

What if we rate switches based on how good they look to eat

[sacred elm]

I think so

[young viper]

The sticky rice were the v2 of the original rice puddings right?

[marsh saffron]

Well theres also sticky rice v2

So idk

[young viper]

Yeah, there's no sticky rice v1 that I can find also lol

[marsh saffron]

Sticky rice v1 had a shit load of issues

[young viper]

Oop

[marsh saffron]

I think sticky rice v2 fixed those but its still a mid switch

[young viper]

Fair enough, I'm chilling with my jade pros rn lol

[tropic urchin]

I don’t think there’s anything interesting/different for sticky rice to really differentiate in today’s meta

[marsh saffron]

Got my tee hees

Probably gonna stay on them

Until something cool comes out

[young viper]

The owlab ones?

[marsh saffron]

Yeah

[tropic urchin]

If you want a similar switch with better stability deep clack flux is the spiritual successor to the Jade pros imo

As a former jade pro Andy

[sacred elm]

If you plan to upgrade later, Deep Clacky Flux has almost identical sound profile but much improved stem wobble. Most other switches would just be a sidegrade.

[tropic urchin]

☝️🤓

[young viper]

These?

[sacred elm]

Yes, but not from official site

They're very expensive there

[tropic urchin]

Get from Aliexpress

[young viper]

I was just about to say lmao

I was like "no way these mf's are more greedy than gateron"

[sacred elm]

If you're from NA, you can get from TorontoKeyboardman

[flat cobalt]

Not getting the Flux till Tuesday @sacred elm

[tropic urchin]

Official pricing is

[marsh saffron]

Won't this be pricey asf for Americans

[tropic urchin]

I ordered a few things nothing extra was tacked on for me

[marsh saffron]

Or is he just like dropshipping them

[tropic urchin]

Recently atleast

Granted it was just their shitty foam

[sacred elm]

Almost same price as Ali

[marsh saffron]

Ah

Yall dont get the same experience i do when ordering stuff from the states 😭

Cost the same if not more than ordering overseas

[young viper]

76 on ali, so not terrible

I'd love to try the cerakey, but it'd be a process swapping out the majority of the springs, I need to look into some more

[marsh saffron]

Cerakey also has bad qc

Haven't seen a single set without crooked keycaps

And the legends wear off eventually and look awful (unless you get blanks)

[young viper]

Rip, I know they just released v3 of the mattes which I haven't seen anything bad about yet

[trail yew]

Hello guys. I'm thinking about buying the v2 but i don't know if i should get the split or normal space bar. Is it possible to switch to normal spacebar if i get the split one? Am i able to change the switches to stabilizers?

[rotund perch]

nope you cannot change it

[tropic urchin]

The split/normal are different, think of it as if you’re thinking about getting ANSI, but you’re also interested in ISO for the bigger enter key, you wouldn’t be able to swap unless you got that specific PCB

[trail yew]

I see. Thx guys

[ocean escarp]

@sterile helm sorry to bother you, could you reply to me privately about these keycaps? Thank you

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin ah yes the entirety of the US has arrvied to the rfl facility

[tall hollow]

this tbh

although dont flux recolors exist now?

[stray ibex]

where do I download the wooting software?

Tikken Supremacy

[polar girder]

Tikkens good

A little wobbly at the bottom but I like

Haven’t installed them yet tho

[stray tiger]

Still trying to recover financially from the knife price drops?

[polar girder]

I sold my Skeleton a couple weeks ago 😅

Nocts and Stiletto still down heavy tho

Don’t plan to sell tho so I don’t mind too much tbh

Will be interesting when it all shakes out

Might pick up a cheap vanilla m9 and karambit 😅

[polar girder]

You? 😅

[little glen]

Yeah honestly now might be a good time to buy cause of all the panic sellers

It‘s a bit of a gamble but it‘s a gamble i would take personally

I‘m holding on to my cases, those should recover fairly quickly i think

[stray tiger]

I actually picked up a few pins because for some reason they dropped in price. Patches didn't though

And I sold a min wear bullet queen for $40...

[little glen]

Lots of generic stuff dropped due to people panic selling to cash out and/or to buy reds and craft them

Happens like every time

[stray tiger]

Well that's where the real deals are then. Can't increase supply of those through trade up. I expect things to stabilize but knife and gloves prices still have a ways to drop

[little glen]

I‘d do a knife trade up for fun tbh

If i didnt want to stay within a budget due to expenses i have lined up for the next 2 months

That i already know about

[little glen]

Eh i dont think they will drop that much

More likely that everything else goes up to match

[stray tiger]

They have dropped 20%. That's enough of a drop for me to snag a few I'm missing

[little glen]

Oh yeah limited stuff like stickers/souvs/collections etc

Should be more than fine long term

But i think that also applies to most things

[stray tiger]

The 5 to 1 trade ratio though sheesh. I'm seeing some dopplers down 40% already

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m conflicted. Maybe but also probably more knives come online in 6-7 days

[little glen]

[stray tiger]

Tons coming online in a week. That's when the real drop happens

[little glen]

All i have is cases

Something something be the guy that sells shovels

[polar girder]

Which pins?

[stray tiger]

@polar girder guardian elite and howl

[polar girder]

Oo guardian elite did drop a bit. Nice

Howl Pin I’m not as interested in

[uneven cradle]

got a couple skins sold off during the initial spike

not a bad profit

[little glen]

Single handedly keeping the new zealand economy afloat

[polar girder]

lol nice

Yeah I haven’t bought or sold anything

Just taking a step back while the dust settles

[little glen]

My one issue with this whole thing is

The new poe update is coming out

And i want to buy mtx

But i need to sell some cases to do that

And i dont want to sell at current prices

[frail zephyr]

anyone with a tofu60 case. would you recommend the kbdfans silicon standoff covers or am i fine without them?

[polar girder]

What’s mtx?

[little glen]

Microtransactions

[stray tiger]

Is poe2 any good now? I played the first release and then haven't played since

[tropic urchin]

first release was fun, then they nerfed everything, now they got rid of cruel difficulty and added in act 4 and buffed a fair bit of the lagging ascendancies. In a decent spot atm

[uneven cradle]

It's in a spot where it's actually fun to play now

Although Poe 1 new league

[tropic urchin]

@stray tiger even with a different build the opal still finds a way to fit in hehe

[rare kraken]

Yo is this like dirty dirty or like just normal dirty for a keyboard

I also see ants going into my keyboard sometimes but she crawl out

They

[thorn zealot]

brethren 😭 💀

[timber bear]

If ants are crawling out it’s very dirty

[thorn zealot]

didnt we tell u not to eat at ur desk awhile ago

[timber bear]

Just get an old toothbrush and sweep all the dust/gunk away mine was similar when I case swapped earlier

[rare kraken]

I did for a good amount of time but yk i wanna eat while playing

[timber bear]

Not really dirt but just dust and hair

[rare kraken]

There is mold on it from last time I cleaned it u can legit ask phish

Well actually I do not know if he saw that part

[thorn zealot]

dont remind me of that 🥀

[timber bear]

Sounds like you need to work on your personal hygiene then or your room may be extremely humid

[rare kraken]

I like my room hot

[tropic urchin]

pack it up, this comment section needs a deep bleaching

[rare kraken]

It’s not as bad as last time

[timber bear]

Anyone know what keycaps I can get for my orange tofu60 redux I have some black keycaps currently

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin thoughts on blue num row instead of white? 👀

[rare kraken]

Can’t it’s like sticked on

[tropic urchin]

I like it

[robust siren]

js adds a little more blue

[tropic urchin]

blue space bar and only white alphas might be cool, but I think both would look kinda cool

[robust siren]

[tropic urchin]

white might be better but its a fun build

[thorn zealot]

atp u need to wear gloves while playin 😭

[rare kraken]

Bro what do I do I can’t use water

[tropic urchin]

real question is what the keycaps look like, bro got that toxic touch if thats what the internals look like

[rare kraken]

The keycaps are clean it’s just the side of the keycaps there also sticky and dirty

[rare kraken]

I wipe the top of my keyboard

Not the inside

[tropic urchin]

I think white adds a little more character/diversity

both look nice, blue is slightly more vibrant

[robust siren]

yeah

[thorn zealot]

sticky, what are we doin

[calm pulsar]

when that gt60 arrives its gonna be so good

[thorn zealot]

puttin doritos in sprite and fingering the can?

[rare kraken]

I drink a lot of juice

[tropic urchin]

i forgot he had a black case for a sec

[rare kraken]

And sometimes it spills

But my keyboard looks fire I modded it too

[robust siren]

should i do a blue enter key too

since there is another clear novelty for that

def makes it a lot more readable

[tropic urchin]

yeah im not the world's largest fan of transparent white

needs the blue

[thorn zealot]

thats cool and all

but the inside looks worse than asmongolds room

[rare kraken]

The rest is stuck on even when I use alcohol

I’m not cleaning the keycaps I’m too lazy

[tropic urchin]

that shit needs an overnight soaking lmao

[thorn zealot]

if mr. clean cant clean it thats when u know ur cooked

ur kb needs to be vaccinated

[rare kraken]

Ima put the keycaps on and show u how it looks modded

I also changed the switches to silent which was a bad choice

[thorn zealot]

i thought u wanted em silent so u can grind fortnite at night without gettin yelled at

[rare kraken]

Ye but my mouse it making the noise

And I quit Fortnite got too good yk

I play r6 now

Omg I remember how dirty my stabilizers were they had Doritos in the lube

[thorn zealot]

the only mouse ik that has silent-ish switches is the op1 and swappin the switches to silent ones

[rare kraken]

I got the Logitech g pro super light

I wish I made the keyboard creamy

Oh wait yall got mad at me for saying creamy because it’s the same as thocky

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin dunno why the clears look so matte

[robust siren]

if you forgot it means its not noticible so i shall return the gt60

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

[tropic urchin]

its your build not mine

if you wanna nerf it thats your prerogative

[robust siren]

nah i cant wait to get my hands on it

i think its my first gasket mount keyboard

[tropic urchin]

you should definitely nerf it

i agree

[robust siren]

ill top mount it

fuck using the gaskets

[rare kraken]

Yo guys I saw on TikTok there is like a mad60he and that it’s like 50 bucks but the same as a wooting60he is that true

Like it has 0.1 acuation

And all that

[rare kraken]

I got a titanium case so that makes it more silent but ngl I don’t rlly hear a difference

Also this is how I play

[thorn zealot]

u mean aluminum?

also how do u reach ur moues from that position

[rare kraken]

I have a very long arm and very big hands

[stray tiger]

Yep still looks good! I also see that Carter has some killer new caps dropping in a few days.

[lime yew]

[calm pulsar]

damn I remembered I wanted to put kkb cherries on mine

[robust siren]

im loving my kkb set so far

so many customization options

[calm pulsar]

its so nice you can remove top case piece on gt80
makes changing keycaps easier too

[robust siren]

gt60 uses screws 🥀

[tidal frigate]

Why no automatic translation?

[tropic urchin]

get the alphas hehe

KKB cherry white alphas are so good i almost want some

[calm pulsar]

they are very slightly cream/pink btw

[tropic urchin]

they still fit quite well

[calm pulsar]

[tropic urchin]

perfect strawberry set

[calm pulsar]

wow thats very nice, im gonna make pics rn

silver case is goat

[tropic urchin]

we may disagree on switches, but silver GT80 is best case

hehe

[calm pulsar]

fuck my stupid iphone applies the piss filter to pictures😭

it happens when monitor is in view lol

[calm pulsar]

taking pictures? yes they do have cameras too

@calm pulsar have you seen Polish cartoons?

[tropic urchin]

One time where RGB looks better off

[calm pulsar]

I remember lolek and bolek

[calm pulsar]

you mean 99% of times

[tidal frigate]

Thats communism time

[tropic urchin]

Basicly you are wearing 🧢

[tidal frigate]

Talking current 21 century Polish cartoons

We have one guy that is so magnificent all of his work is made only around 30% of his powers

[calm pulsar]

cant say I have seen those

[tidal frigate]

Well they are in Polish

But one of his works are on netflix

Also he made movies

And plays his own music in multiple diffrent genres

[calm pulsar]

that's respectable

[tidal frigate]

He has nickname

[vagrant aurora]

Thanks for that! GGBOY seller currently listed on super deal. Got 90 for $101 CAD

[sacred elm]

Check the price on TorontoKeyboardman, might be cheaper

[vagrant aurora]

Aye cheers, checked and currently $12.8 for ? (10?) + shipping

[sacred elm]

Ah, nvm. Ali is cheaper

[vagrant aurora]

Aye, Previous best on Ali was $148 / 90 that would have made TorontoKey a better price. This super deal just came up.

[glacial wind]

man that v1 white zinc is quite a nice deal actually

was looking at our respawn store, might pick some up for christmas presents

[chilly mural]

mmm, my rshift stab is sucky. Looks like I need to replace it.

[glacial wind]

pretty interesting, definitely more distinct bottom out sound. Haven't properly compared them vs other switches yet but does feel similar to a raptor with fiber bottom

[fluid ravine]

Are these...

crystals? 👀

[glacial wind]

ayep

[harsh dove]

Magnet breathing holes so they don't suffocate

[calm pulsar]

could you send pics of the stem? curious to see if it's the same design

[brisk vale]

Pre work is done, time for Tikken

[glacial wind]

Stem is exact same as raptor from initial look

[fringe quarry]

will it crunch

[glacial wind]

No difference from visual look

[harsh dove]

pretty moist

[fluid ravine]

Oiled up

[fluid ravine]

Oh wait is the magnet protruding?

Or does it sit flush

[glacial wind]

Flush-ish, but always hard to say exactly. raptor stem is no different

[timid saddle]

what switches do yall use

[glossy pagoda]

I couldn't decide which strap would fit best with my new silver 60HEv2 so I got several options

[chilly mural]

The silver. The color matches

Also fit for black

Middle is nice for white case and the last is nice for beige case

[glossy pagoda]

I wasn't sure if the right most one would be a clashing shade

I think the middle one would be some nice splash of color with the white keycaps

[fallen pecan]

For 4 pcs, around 6 yuan each

[paper bison]

where from i need the black cat one

[fallen pecan]

“have a delightful romance"

[glossy pagoda]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/NkrMK1QUESz8MeQX9?g_st=ac

ah yes just a small train ride

wait i might actually be able to get one sent to me

[glossy pagoda]

If you're ever in the area, visit Inpad - the only retail store in Taiwan that stocks Wooting keyboards

[paper bison]

I haven't been to taipei city in years, I plan on going back summer 26 though

[paper bison]

Been there before in 23 but I spent more time at the audio and mouse bit

[little glen]

[gaunt plume]

[little glen]

Its a bunch of empty cans i‘ve had in this room for months

I cba to put them away

[glacial wind]

should have said you shop at costco, then we'd just think you were a savvy snack buyer

[little glen]

Ready to put them in

[little glen]

There is no costco where i live

[rotund perch]

How are tikkens?

[brisk vale]

Just got home. Haven’t pressed one yet 😅

[rotund perch]

ah

i plan to get them

[tall hollow]

kekker tikken

[little glen]

ok so first initial impressions

full travel is nice but i need to get used to it again for typing

sound is muted for the most part, not really what i would go for usually but its nice if you want that sort of thing

i'll run them for a bit longer to see how i feel about em long term

having full travel again after all this time with my rawhuks feels kinda weird tho ngl

expecting to bottom out but it just doesnt

neutral rgb color is good, thats part of what made me stop using the raptor v2s

[paper bison]

What stabs are these?

[tropic urchin]

The RGB will darken until morale improves

[little glen]

knight v2

[paper bison]

I'm using V4s, not sure whether it's worth switching to the stock ones when changing out to a full travel switch

[tropic urchin]

The discerning eye can spot the clear housing and gold wires very V2 🌹

[paper bison]

Not sure if it will impact the travel or not

[little glen]

my stabilized keys are now louder cause the stab housing is hitting the pcb

but nothing you can really do about that

[paper bison]

Yeah luckily I kept the stock stabs so I might lube them and switch them back if I switch to tikkens

[little glen]

sound seems a bit inconsistent accross the alphas, seems like some of the keys have bit of a weird sound when i hit them hard or off center, maybe difference in lube or something

could also be something with my plate

[tropic urchin]

I did notice alpha key variance with mine when I tried

Usually that’s natural, but seemed more noticeable in sound

[little glen]

yeah

not sure whats causing this

honestly it might just be different lubing on the bottom

[glacial wind]

one interesting note is the tikkens were louder and closer to owlab type of sound profile before from what I understand

but a lot of people were not keen on that loud clack, so materials were changed

[little glen]

i need a clack version of tikkens

with slightly protruding magnet and fiberglass bottom

[calm pulsar]

I need me hmx crystals

[glacial wind]

don't worry there's a lot of stuff being tested, not sure what will eventually make it but there's some very interesting stuff

[little glen]

i'll keep using these for a bit and see how they make it through stress test of path of exile gaming and writing thesis

[rotund perch]

how it sound

[little glen]

[rotund perch]

Wait no this is a bad question for my choices

Ignore it

[little glen]

its a little muted

so if you like bright, vivid sound from your board this is maybe not for you but if you want a quiet option that still sounds good then this is good for you

[glacial wind]

yeah basically what wizard said

if you're after the owlab type sound profile it won't be for you since it's more focused on a slightly muted sound profile

[rotund perch]

are lekker v2s considered a little muted or not

[glacial wind]

yeah

[tropic urchin]

They were louder than I anticipated but didn’t sound super bright so that was a step up

[paper bison]

yeah the more i see people talk about it im glad i stuck with the owlabs and will get tikkens in the v2

[rotund perch]

yea I wouldnt mind it then

[glacial wind]

lekkers are muted because of open bottom, although the sound on lekker v2 is muddy a bit more just due to open bottom too

[little glen]

basically, do you want a street lamp that will get you home nicely when its dark or do you want a giant spotlight in front of you announcing where you are to everyone in a one km radius

[rotund perch]

Probably the 1st one

[glacial wind]

there's some other stuff being tested that i think will be really cool if it makes it to production eventually

[tropic urchin]

Personally I want the Enemy UAV OVERHEAD

[little glen]

yeah just try them in the v2 and then you can decide

[lime yew]

Interesting, I think the build has a huge influence

[little glen]

yeah probably

i have fr4 plate and no middle silicone

in a gt80 with poly fill

[rotund perch]

i do really want gt-80 but I do wanna get tikkens first but its better if i get gt-80 first so

[little glen]

to be clear: i am comparing to rawhuk frankenswitches (raw+duhuk core) which are some of the clackiest switches you could get

[little glen]

i'll probably pick up the deep clack flux to see what those are like

[lime yew]

Okay yeah that makes sense

[little glen]

honestly sounds fairly similar from a quick glance

[tropic urchin]

They’re both kinda nice, the only thing that spoiled tikkens was the top wobble after using DCF. I did enjoy the feel difference between the two

[little glen]

i'll have to order DCF from that canadian taobao flipper

[rotund perch]

😭

[chilly mural]

hmm, that means people who like owlab feel but not the sound might like tikken more

[tropic urchin]

Idk tikkens felt infinitely better than owlabs

[calm pulsar]

this is the equivalent of me ordering a frog mini from Australia that was shipped to US and then to me

[tropic urchin]

Owlabs just feel ridiculously short on Wooting and it never felt natural to me

[chilly mural]

i need to choose between the two. Legit price wise both are the same with shipping.

[tropic urchin]

Tikkens felt more natural and fun to press

[little glen]

ngl the full travel feels kinda weird cause i never used the gt80 with lekkers

[glacial wind]

the spring on tikkens are interesting too because it's a 42-54 range

which is different to all the other long springs

[little glen]

so having the spacebar get so close to the case is crazy

[tropic urchin]

I thought I’d hate it but don’t

[little glen]

i love the weight tbh

its a good balance

they feel good

[glacial wind]

springs you kind of get used to it after awhile, although i noticed it's always the one thing you notice at the start when you swap

sometimes i'm recording typing tests and suddenly i can't type because the springs in one switch are way different to previous switch

i'll literally just start being unable to type properly because the presses feel so 'off' compared to previous setup

[little glen]

[chilly mural]

hmm, all this talk makes me wanna go for tikken when it comes to feel.

[little glen]

bottom out feels a little softer than i am used to

need that protruding magnet

[tropic urchin]

DCF/Tikkens >> owlabs imo

[glacial wind]

another fun fact they had a protruding magnet once upon a time

[little glen]

[glacial wind]

but it was made to not protrude for less noise

[little glen]

i need those prototype tikkens that are my perfect switch

[tropic urchin]

Only thing owlabs have better is top wobble but that’s about it

[tropic urchin]

Send in your post card

[chilly mural]

One route I can go is Tikken for woot, DCF for venom. That way I am open for the third kind of switch which is Raeds/Tecsee on 60hev2

[little glen]

maybe ill send in my original wooting one postcard

[rotund perch]

Ima be fr what does the postcard do

[little glen]

that could give me better chances

[tropic urchin]

DCF is going to be alot louder on benom

[tropic urchin]

You write a wish down and send it to Wooting HQ and they might fulfill your wish

[chilly mural]

yesh, loud, medium, and quiet. The Holy Trinity

[rotund perch]

ah

[rotund perch]

Wooting please give me 1000 tikkens thanks

[glossy pagoda]

You can wish for anything

Whether or not it gets granted...

[rotund perch]

is a genie reviewing my post card

[glossy pagoda]

Yes

[rotund perch]

Wow theyre real

and captured in the hq

[glossy pagoda]

Oh sorry I thought you said genius

[little glen]

Have you ever had a dream that you, um, you had, your, you- you could, you’ll do, you- you wants, you, you could do so, you- you’ll do, you could- you, you want, you want them to do you so much you could do anything?

[trail bane]

Amen

[little glen]

recorded a quick and dirty sound test, i'll upload it shortly

[tropic urchin]

Looks terrible where can I get it

[little glen]

tikken vs rawhuks

[tropic urchin]

Sound decently similar

[little glen]

keep in mind these were recorded on different days, so conditions may have changed

and the rawhuk didnt have a keebmat

[tulip rapids]

keebmat really worth the investment ? might get one

[little glen]

i like it

[tulip rapids]

which version did you get?

[little glen]

80he

felt

came with a nice coaster too

[tulip rapids]

does the 80he only have one variation?

[rotund perch]

what does it even do

[tulip rapids]

iirc the 60% has two

[tropic urchin]

You can get the standard TKL which will be bigger (what I have) and think they had an 80HE cutout but unsure if they still offer it

There’s an Italian leather suede boujee option cam recommends

[tulip rapids]

idk i dont own one

iirc it helps with keyboard sound and looks stylish

[rotund perch]

ah

[tropic urchin]

Can help with typing angle/give you little lift and can semi change sound but not that much

Kinda comfy

[little glen]

the 80he option has a separate page now

https://keebmat.com/products/keebmat-80he

[rotund perch]

would it be better than just a regular deskmat o rsomething

[glacial wind]

depends on use case

[little glen]

you can stack it to get better isolation from desk noise

[glacial wind]

the downside of a small keebmat is if you use wristrest it changes the height of only the keyboard

[little glen]

with a deskmat

[glacial wind]

that's why i use larger keebmats/deskmats for my keyboard typically

[little glen]

yeah thats my main issue

it adds a couple of mm of height to my board

[tropic urchin]

I’m using an artisan pad for my individual hand comfort and keebmat on top

[little glen]

it sounds good tho and looks nice

[tropic urchin]

Raiden soft for fastest keyboard combo

[rotund perch]

I think i want greg

[tropic urchin]

🔥

[rotund perch]

Greg is so cool

[little glen]

he got the floor pills

[brisk vale]

I don’t think my stabs, possible lube is doing too well anymore

[paper bison]

You keep your keeb on a raiden?

[tropic urchin]

Key83 mid is my mousepad

[paper bison]

oh thats better

[rotund perch]

idek if i will get a wristrest cuz gt-80 typing angle is good

[paper bison]

i was worried lmao

[tropic urchin]

Was previous raiden soft mouse pad enjoyer but wanted more control instead of using obsidian dots

[paper bison]

no raiden disrespect

[sacred elm]

Most likely this happens because of sticky stabilizer pads, you need to remove them.

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

[paper bison]

im using a raiden soft with mizugomus rn

just ordered a ki83

[tropic urchin]

Those the artisan dots?

[paper bison]

yeah

[tropic urchin]

Holy fuck lmao

[paper bison]

I use mizogomus on my vv3 pro and unusual way silver fox skates on my dav4 pro

[tropic urchin]

I used to like those at first but they slow down super fast after week 3 and apparently they create temp slow down spots on your pad which is cringe

[paper bison]

havent slowed down for me after a month+ of usage

still feel fresh

[tropic urchin]

By the week 3-4 mark I had to up my sens and at that point I ripped them off for new ones and it felt like I was going 2x faster

Would be cool if it maintained that speed closer to jade dots

Unfortunate

[paper bison]

i wanna try new skates ngl

[tropic urchin]

Only thing I could use on raiden were obsidian dots/full sized since it’s already blazing quick

Then went to glass and felt like raiden was nerfing me so tried Key83 and it was nearly perfect

[paper bison]

i switch between glass and raiden soft, and the unusual way silver fox feel great on both

i used to use zero but its a bit rough to me now tbh

ordered a key83 in soft xxl

gonna see how that is

[tropic urchin]

Key83 mid didn’t feel rough really, so soft should be nice

[tulip rapids]

key 83

[polar girder]

Need fr4 plate for these Tikkens

[brisk vale]

Just watched the video. You want me to remove the poron pads under every stabilizer? Why are these a thing in the first place if it makes my keys stick?

[misty sapphire]

Time for the fun to begin

[misty sapphire]

i think newer ones dont have them anymore

[sacred elm]

Yes, you need to remove those pads because they soak in lube and become sticky. Wooting stopped using them after the first or second batch for this reason.

[brisk vale]

Roger that. Thank you for confirming. Imma get at it

[tropic urchin]

Yeah mine got sticky too after a few months, could hear and feel an audible stick on space bar and enter key that just wasn’t great

[polar girder]

About 2-3 weeks for venom 7u fr4 plate restock on divinkey

JOY

Will wait to try Tikkens and Keysnap on fr4

[harsh dove]

Yeah I’ve only tried Tikkens on POM so far, wanna do some plate swaps and try others

Been a minute since I’ve swapped plates I don’t even remember what I have

[analog reef]

It finally all arrived 🥰

[polar girder]

What your thoughts on tikken so far?

You using them as daily?

[polar girder]

Looking good!

[harsh dove]

Yeah, I personally really the like way they sound and feel

Seems like basically similar stability as Owlabs Ti's

but has a smoother press on downstroke to me and deeper sound

[polar girder]

Stock lube?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

Didn't lube springs either

[polar girder]

You open one yet?

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[polar girder]

I haven’t looked inside but they feel well lubed

No desire to hand lube atm

I haven’t installed them yet. Just played around

[harsh dove]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

These some low quality pics I took

[polar girder]

God damn that is low quality af

[harsh dove]

[polar girder]

But yeah looks solid

[harsh dove]

Yeah

[polar girder]

Not wanting more lube there

Springs look oiled even?

Or maybe just shiny

[harsh dove]

Apparently they aren't but I imagine some of the lube gets on them a bit

[polar girder]

Right

I have some Geon pingless springs I might play around with

Generally ok with not opening and swapping every switch tho lol

[harsh dove]

Yeah I have those in my Owlabs Ti's really solid imo

[polar girder]

I have some L35 springs too

[polar girder]

Yea they seem solid

Haven’t used them yet tho

[rotund perch]

what keycaps r those?

[analog reef]

its the kinetic labs matcha set

[rotund perch]

ah ive seen some kinetic labs sets idk if they are good quality or not tho

[analog reef]

they feel good and look cute

[rotund perch]

thats good

i think im gonna get the osume little ghost

[brisk vale]

It did the job. Ty again

[hollow heart]

damn good to know

im about to install type plus stabilizers so ill do this aswell ty

also what are your guys thoughts on wooting stock foam, thier sticky pad on the back, and the plate?

[tall hollow]

when I get my tikkens I will whip out the microscope and look at it very closely

[tall hollow]

I am surprised mine still havent started sticking. lol

[little glen]

I am not running foam but poly fill instead at the bottom of the case, swapped plate for fr4 but maybe alu would have been better for me

[tall hollow]

although maybe that is because I use the typeplus stabs and not the stock ones

[little glen]

Also removed the tapemod at the back but that‘s just cause i did a manual tapemod that i got rid of after

[tall hollow]

manual tape mod is a lot nicer than the stock one ngl

[little glen]

Yeah but my board just sounded like tape

[tall hollow]

maybe it is because the blue tape is less dense

[little glen]

[sacred elm]

or maybe because you use 3.5mm switches?

[tall hollow]

yeah that too

but I use stem spacers on the stabilizers

[sacred elm]

Ah

[tall hollow]

so they are bottoming out

[hollow heart]

difference between that stock foam, and your poly filling?

[little glen]

Sounds different

[hollow heart]

i more so meant in what way

[little glen]

Poly fill mainly just removes case resonance on metal cases

[hollow heart]

oh good to know

i was thinking about getting bare zinc case and powder coating it

[little glen]

Foam also does but it also adds its own sound signature

[little glen]

You‘d need to remove the coating it comes with

[hollow heart]

currently i have a black abs case

[little glen]

If you want a different color i would recommend looking at the gt-80 from kbdfans

[hollow heart]

they sell a bare zinc case

and im pretty sure the coating place would do prep work on top

[little glen]

Raw zinc case still has a coating

To prevent corrosion etc

[hollow heart]

ahh

good to know

i was kinda curious why it was the same price so ty

[little glen]

But yeah poly fill is an easy and cheap mod so i‘d just recommend giving it a try

[hollow heart]

im looking for a deeper and more dampened sound do you think its closer to that or further?

or just, different

what about the tape thats on the keyboard?

[rotund perch]

I dont want to get rid of those descriptions its disrespectful

[tall hollow]

I mean, if you want to keep it that's fine, but it doesn't hurt to change it

[rotund perch]

Its too cool

[tall hollow]

And if you don't like how it sounds you can always put it back on lol

[rotund perch]

• we actually dont have painters tape here

in the house

so

[tropic urchin]

I never really noticed a difference between the Wooting partial tape mod and bare PCB

[rotund perch]

i would probably do it if i did have painters tape

[hollow heart]

whats the difference tho

i tried tape mod with some frog tape and it literally sounded the same to me

idk mabye its cause i have the plastic case

[rotund perch]

honestly idk either

[hollow heart]

lol

Trying Tikken on Alu

[fringe quarry]

nice keycaps

[tropic urchin]

I started off liking alu silicone combo with GMK for deeper switches then once I got my poron gasket I started to go hard core CF plate for my deeper switches

now its kinda just pingy without the fun volume of CF and feel like poron does weird stuff with alu now

that and trying to get the desired sound profile with PBT caps and my Deep clack flux build has been not as fun as i envisioned

I’m too lazy to pull all switches and keycaps out

☠️

[robust siren]

leave the keycaps on the switches and push the switches off the plate

[analog reef]

just spring swapped some gateron jades and it actually made such a huge world of difference, good lord

still want tikkens though >.>

[harsh dove]

I’m not done yet lol

[celest geyser]

i got my wooting module today and im trying to unscrew the screws so i can replace the silicon with the included foam but the middle screw is super stiff , anyone got any tips

[analog reef]

you might just need to go for it

as long as you're not putting the board in a position where it's going to snap or bend if you use a little pressure you should be ok

[polar girder]

lol

[celest geyser]

With the force i was using im surprised it didn't snap already

Its fine though , the keyboard case coming has foam in it. I just wanted to double up

[trail bane]

Silver weave CF on top

[tropic urchin]

This qualifies as a keysnap before it resembles a board

Looks like you just snapped off a poor EUers enter

[thorn zealot]

good

they can convert to ansi now

[tidal frigate]

I'am Polish we do not need iso.

[tropic urchin]

Really?

Had no idea

Didn’t realize the EU was only Poland

[trail bane]

Tuff

[tidal frigate]

We are civilized. Because our layout is better

[tropic urchin]

That quite literally has no relevance to anything I said but pop off ig

Average Jakubix derailment inc

[paper bison]

my old 60he and current 80he are both UK-ISO, but I might try ANSI on the V2

purely for keycap compatability and not having to buy international sets

but idk how difficult it will be to get used to the different layout
