hi , i have a little question

i want buy holy80 case but doubt about the sound vs my plastic case,
is it louder than plastic?

plastic, holy80, zinc.. rank please? i',m looking the quite typing sound since in here is hard to find silent switch

distant raven
#

you can find such comparisons on youtube

young lantern
#

are the only differences between og flux and deep clack flux sound? been awhile

glacial wind
#

yeah just different materials

young lantern
#

in particular i would like to hear mod keys. i do prefer clacky (i come from nixies on alu) but i dont want spacebar to be too high pitched 😬

#

im still on my owlabs lol

glacial wind
#

if you're not after sharp high pitched then flux regular is not it for you

#

it's maybe the sharpest sounding switch available right now

young lantern
#

are there any sound tests of dcd on alu?

young lantern
glacial wind
#

not on alu specifically i don't think, but the sound tests in our database are all on fr4

young lantern
glacial wind
#

on basically every plate it's very sharp and loud lol. Regular flux are by far the loudest and sharpest of all switches i've tried

#

deep clack should be your pick if sound sharpness is at all a concern for you

young lantern
#

did both have the minor crunch issue ive seen being talked about? i think magnet strength was an old topic but are either of those even relevant enough to worry about? seems like a nonissue just from a quick glance at faq

distant raven
#

magnet strength would only be an issue at the ragged edge of activation range, just choose a activation range that's within tolerance of all keys and that you like, and then it doesn't really matter

#

the HE sensors are very sensitive

glacial wind
#

magnet isn't an issue for wooting either way because it's within our range since some of our lekkers are already operating in that magnet range

#

honestly i don't think the flux crunch stuff is big enough to worry about. It's super minor and i doubt most people would even notice it

young lantern
#

wow, i see og flux 70 for $60 on ali

Quick question, it’s going to be my first keyboard I build. Only so I buy nothing wrong, the Wooting module 60he v2 is only: „PC plate, Silicone/Poron pad, and an updated PCBA with screw-in stabilizers.“ like the 60he+ right?

#

So I have to buy switches too? I just thought 120€ for only the „PC plate, Silicone/Poron pad, and an updated PCBA with screw-in stabilizers“ is a lot.

little glen
#

slightly different, it has fr4 plate instead of PC plate for example but yeah pretty much

#

keep in mind that you dont just pay for the hardware, you also pay for 4 years of warranty and even longer time of software updates

little glen
#

module is just module

mild salmon
#

Alr

little glen
#

you need to buy switches, keycaps and case

#

for me module is good because i already have everything else

mild salmon
#

For the rest I have a holy60 and cool keycard from kbfans

little glen
#

yeah then all you need is module and switches

#

maybe a cable as well if you dont have one

mild salmon
little glen
#

yeah just module and switches then

#

i would probably get the lekker tikkens from wooting when you order the module

mild salmon
little glen

i think youll get a discount on them if you buy the 2 together

Hello! I have the GT 80 and i was wondering what everyone thinks would be better for the pcb... fr4 or carbon fiber or pom?

storm axle
#

i prefer the fr4

trail bane
little glen
#

If you want your plate to add a neutral, balanced sound, then go for fr4, if you want a bit deeper then pom, if you want brighter then alu or cf

green river
#

I think im looking for more neutral. I was aiming for the fr4 already thanks!

im gonna try "TTC Honey King HE" switches today, and then "WS Flux HE Switch Deep Clacky" and see if i like those. My current favourite is the Geon raw

What switches are you used to

young lantern
#

also, are the legs of the dcf flux still brittle like the og?

#

im on owlabs on cf rn

tropic urchin
#

The OGs for me were fine

young lantern
#

just curious because i know theres different materials

#

or is that just top housing?

tropic urchin
tropic urchin
#

Top is just pink tinted and stem + top housing is slightly tighter

young lantern
#

i may be a fraud though because im gonna use them on a venom while my monochrome frankenswitches are on my wooting

#

i havent tinkered in awhile

sacred elm
tropic urchin
#

Venom takes a little tinkering to get it to sound right

sacred elm
#

Overall DC is better than OG, more pleasant sound for most and a bit tighter too

#

also weaker magnet, will probably work better on Venom

#

than OG

young lantern
#

gotcha

#

only the minor crunch is the issue

#

but thats only if you shake the switch is what you mentioned

Which switches have the least stem wobble and sound thock? Is it the geon raw or are there other good options?

sacred elm
#

There's no thock

tropic urchin
little glen
thin geyser
tropic urchin
#

You may get spring crunch (every so often switch develops temporary scoliosis and starts wiggling and you can feel/hear the spring move), but not everyone seems to have experienced it

tropic urchin
#

You won’t find MX sound in HE

#

So it’ll have to be a compromise

#

I’d take a peek thru the link Shafie gave bc Sno recorded all compatible switches so you can see how it sounds

#

On same setup for all

thin geyser
#

Hmmm, I've had geon raws for like a year but they dont sound good anymore and i dont wanna relube them. So im looking for something similar with less wobble. Do you have any recommendations regarding something that is similar to the raws

thin geyser
tropic urchin
#

I’d also try experimenting with different plate material so then you can try to tailor your build to be closer to how you want and try to find a decent switch that fits your bill

thin geyser
tropic urchin
#

#

Should be

Can you explain why you called him that just curious

thin geyser

I also got the normal jades is the owlab comparable with jade?

thin geyser
chilly mural
tropic urchin
#

And will have better stability than owlab but will need to be bought on aliexpress ($1 per switch vs cheaper for owlab)

#

If you live in Germany then it’s not likely you’ll find them

thin geyser
chilly mural
thin geyser
tropic urchin
tropic urchin
thin geyser
#

ah lmao

tropic urchin
#

So basically just pick the one that’s cheaper for you, if you want to get them

#

It’s basically do you want the cheaper, brighter switch with more wiggly bottom wobble, or the slightly more expensive jades with TTC POM stability

The Wooting x TTC KOM POM is really stable and has a really nice heavy spring. You'll need to lightly lube the channels though, as they come without lube.

#

On my 80HE they are fantastic on the polycarbonate plate. Not annoying to me.

One more tho. What stabilizers are currently the ebst for 60he+?

tropic urchin

Switch films aren't recommended, it causes inaccuracy.

stoic ocean
#

They are better for mechanical if if I'm not mistaken

You can't even switch film a lot of the modern MX switches their tolerances are very tight

Anyone know of any semi-transparent keycaps like this?

Yes

oh

#

the r2 doesnt have semi transparent for the lighter color

stoic ocean
#

I don't know which color to choose yet because they're all beautiful.

robust siren

I'll probably go with blue with these keycaps.

#

these are very blue

#

oh and theres a purple one with white speckles

stoic ocean
#

Nah i dont like these ones

robust siren
#

and its also been seen in their discord

stoic ocean
#

Not all the colors have photos; I'll ask the seller later, but for now, some people have shown some of the colors.

#

And I don't have a picture of the white version but it's pretty standard the front end like on all the other colors, is raw aluminum I think

Just got my FR4 plate for 80HE, can't wait to try it out (and tune my stabilizers while I'm at at.)

distant raven
#

I am very pleased with the FR4 plate for the 80HE. It stiffened up the response some and I can feel the difference both in the switch activation and rebound. This makes me pleased that the 60HEV2 will come with a FR4 plate.
The sound is different, it seems both more muted and also a bit more distinct at the same time. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but I think that I'm happy with it.
I did do away with the factory silicon gasket and switch to a foam gasket, and I did also do away with the factory case foam and replace with a different foam and film. (I kept the stock wooting tape job under the board.)

Sound testđŸ„ș

distant raven
#

I didn't record before the switch and I just have a pixel phone, so it'd be a fairly poor recording.

young viper
#

Fair enough

distant raven

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.

#

When I eventually get the v2, I have a acrylic aftermarket tape mod I'm excited to test on it from keebmat

distant raven
#

That's me typing what I posted to chat which is every key in the alphabet plus shift, spacebar, and period.

#

including a 360 phone fingerflip

#

I figured I'd type it live as I was recording it.

robust siren
# distant raven

dr pepper can a little too close to the keyboard for that phone to fall off it 💀

distant raven
#

lulz

#

it's not open my man

#

It was an impromptu phone stand, nothing more.
BTW, the above video is with Wooting x TTC KOM POM switches and Wooting Doubleshot PBT keycaps on the Toronto Keyboardman FR4 plate and foam and case foam with film.

robust siren
#

wouldnt be new hearing theres dr pepper inside a wooting dogekek

distant raven
#

If it was open, then it would be in the drink holder cage, which prevents spills and is like 20 inches away.

distant raven
#

I managed to save the RAM, Motherboard, CPU, and GPU.

The screen, however, is fried.

cloud crane
#

RIP

distant raven
#

I got a free shipping label box and they'll repair the screen, fully test the entire laptop, and also repair anything else that's bad, and send it back a day or two later, free shipping there too. It covers dumbass liquid damage.

#

Anyhow, FR4 plate pretty great.

robust siren
distant raven
#

It's different than the Polycarbonate Wooting though with the cutouts around each key.

What's that for? Higher contrast on lighting? Reduce spill?

robust siren
#

might be a flex cut

#

but they barely flex anyways

#

once on the keyboard at least

distant raven
#

Yeah, the FR4 is pretty rigid regardless.

distant raven
#

yeah 🙁 It's one of the newer ARM ones

#

wait no, I have the dumb.... it's a yoga slim 7x

pallid bluff
#

At least some of the parts got saved

distant raven
#

yeah, well, they'll fix everything

#

Doesnt the pre-orders go live on Thursday? Very exciting stuff!

#

The plans are that the pre-order are shipped out in December correct unless things change?

robust siren
#

plastic is april 2026

autumn temple
#

So what about the module + case seperately

#

Like you build it yourself

robust siren
#

id assume itd ship also in december

#

but no white color

autumn temple
#

Oh ok yeah I thought so too

#

Man super excited I want to get that marbly sound

robust siren
robust siren

What im most excited about for the V2 is the upgrades for me, friction fit, metal case, FR4 plate, and silicone block at bottom of case

I need to find the right mic placement for a non iPhone ST

robust siren
#

my build is pretty much idental to @tropic urchin but its the 60he smile
and not hand lubed

tropic urchin
#

Otherwise it’s just compressed clacky

autumn temple
#

Give me something

tropic urchin
#

Gore would be probably a better representation if he can handlube them

robust siren
#

lemme do a really ghetto test

autumn temple
#

ty

tropic urchin
#

When I spam 3 keys together you can kinda hear it

#

The compression makes it louder/clackier than it is irl

autumn temple
#

Yeah I can hear that part

#

lol

tropic urchin
#

When you handlube them they do feel like tikkens almost for poppy

autumn temple
#

The 60HE V2 with silicone sounds super marbly poppy

tropic urchin
#

Kinda depends on your switch/plate bc silicone amplifies higher end frequency and not as much lower end

autumn temple
#

It was with the FR4 plate

robust siren
tropic urchin
#

I’m doing a double poron build and it removes almost all high end frequency it seems

tropic urchin
robust siren
#

it works on pc

#

but not mobile

tropic urchin
#

Muck fobile

robust siren
#

ok that works

autumn temple
#

Sounds quite nice

robust siren
#

@tropic urchin @autumn temple

autumn temple
#

But doesnt sound marbly to me

robust siren
#

i think its still a little off to how it sounds in person

autumn temple
#

Oh

tropic urchin
#

He also needs to handlube

robust siren
#

IM NOT DOING THAT

tropic urchin
#

It makes a big difference for marbly profile

autumn temple
#

Hear how nice the silicone adds to the keyboard better than the EPDM foam imo

tropic urchin
#

With no IEMs in

autumn temple
#

No foam and silicone sound pretty nice imo cause the EPDM foam like really really dampens the sound right?

tropic urchin
#

Makes it deeper

autumn temple
#

Yeah

#

I dont really like that actually very much

tropic urchin
#

If you want louder clack silicone is nice

autumn temple
#

Yeah silicone is very nice

#

It just sounds better to me silicon

#

Makes it sound like a real keyboard

#

Sounds very nice

tropic urchin
autumn temple
#

Silicone sounds more poppy and vibrant to me more lively

robust siren
#

@tropic urchin if i didnt get the gt60 literally last week id buy the v2 prebuilt in silver

#

silicone case dampening would be fun to mess with

tropic urchin
#

I can’t run it anymore

robust siren
#

hear me out

tropic urchin
#

I used to find poron gasket weird but now I can’t get rid of it

robust siren
#

we cut out the middle of both silicone and foam options

#

and use a silicone outer and foam under the alphas

tropic urchin
robust siren
tropic urchin
#

Having it free float is kinda annoying but w/e

#

The poron gasket movement sucks tho

robust siren
#

well

#

its resting on the pcb which is on top of silicone gasket

#

but if i flip the keyboard over the whole thing falls out

#

to split or not to split


tulip rapids
tropic urchin
#

Considering how much I don’t enjoy silicone now, I might try it @robust siren

young viper
#

I'm gonna see how the stock plate sounds, if not I may just order a cf one

tulip rapids
#

might hand lube them this week

#

break my V card and watch k drama smile

tropic urchin
#

If you go crazy probably a while

#

If you just touch it with a few brushes probably not long at all

tulip rapids
#

i'll lube it like im diddy before he got caught

tropic urchin
#

As someone that’s done it a few times on other switches, I’d say the feel/sound is worth it

tulip rapids
#

i was suppose to do them with my geons but never did since i got owlabs around that time

tropic urchin
#

Stem has good lube, but everything else is dry so I think that contributes to some of the stock sound and once you really lube it, it goes away and sounds very nice

tulip rapids
#

but fluxes deserve it

tropic urchin
#

I didn’t think it would matter but it does if you like poppy feel

tulip rapids
#

i got the lube and grease from wooting so im ready

tulip rapids
#

only way is to try it and see

tropic urchin
#

Closest to how it felt was tikkens

#

But with better top stability smile

#

And I did like how tikkens felt/had a nice poppy sound to it

young viper
#

Yippee they got here

tulip rapids
young viper
#

Yerp, I already checked to make sure they're straight and everything

#

I won't mess with them at all till the v2 module gets here haha

robust siren
robust siren

they felt off to me

"tactile feeling"

robust siren

but not if it was just on its own outside the keyboard with no keycaps

zealous vale

this is one of my favorite themes i've seen in a keyboard i wanna recreate it for my 80he

robust siren

GMK BRG, Botanical, and Bamboo are all similar to the one shown in the video

just different shades of green

distant raven
#

still tempted to domino my wooting black and white

robust siren
#

and not to mention theyre made of 2 materials

#

osume matcha are also pretty good looking

zealous vale
#

i'll check those out though

#

okay I checked them out and the green isn't exactly what i'm looking for

#

I should just check the retailer of that keyboard and see if they sell the keycaps separately
