[ionic breach]

which is so annoying

[humble surge]

I was thinking of doing that too, but then it has to be a SOLID tabletop, not this IKEA splits in half with the smallest amount of force garbage.

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I like Sno’s above more than the combined writing + symbols

[humble surge]

The longer that would be, the more fragile.

[ionic breach]

just get local prob

[tropic urchin]

Some look good with both like tab and then I’m split on shift/backspace etc

[ionic breach]

just have rough ideas and get a quote

[humble surge]

Will have to find something when i move next year, can't really plan until then.

Not sure what freespace i will have yet even.

[chilly mural]

All I want is a non wobbly table, my current rhythm game setup have some wobble

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, I don’t really like mac symbols either.

[humble surge]

Ideally though, something 200+ in length and then just a little more in depth than the current desks.

[tawdry tree]

Plates soon™ (enough to make a rainbow 😭)

[humble surge]

And solid top with no wobble, i hate the wobble on the current ones, so ass.

[tulip rapids]

I'm team hard candy

[tropic urchin]

How was the novelty crunch

[tulip rapids]

a bit melted

[tulip rapids]

would you like some hard candy dear ?

[tawdry tree]

I’d like some cotton candy to use as foam pls

ty friend.

[tulip rapids]

@tawdry tree here you go dear

[humble surge]

It was an "interesting" purchase Goku.
Keep it up :)

[chilly mural]

You ought to get some compensation

[tulip rapids]

yeah probably gonna get an email tomorrow

deskhero takes monday/tuesday to reply since they take the weekends off

[tawdry tree]

Is it supposed to look like something?

[tulip rapids]

like a dragon

[tawdry tree]

lol

[ionic breach]

u can tell

cos its well made

[tulip rapids]

ty dear

[humble surge]

Mint candy is good though

[glacial wind]

dragons are mythical creatures. Who can say that isn't 100% 1:1 a dragon

[humble surge]

No hate

[ionic breach]

fr

[chilly mural]

it kinda looks like somebody just dremel a stone and call it a day lmao

[tulip rapids]

mw bade bragon hard candy better

[tropic urchin]

Based on their rendering

[tawdry tree]

They should’ve included some imagination with it 😭

[glacial wind]

maybe they found more accurate historical documents of dragons in between making their render and producing the artisan

[tropic urchin]

Now tell me that melted snow cone looks like above

[tulip rapids]

oh let me show you the disclaimer prototype that was leaked

[glacial wind]

what you're telling me is he has a shiny rare dragon variant

so they did him a favour

[tawdry tree]

I do vaguely see it

[tropic urchin]

You’re right, it’s unique shit

[tawdry tree]

what happened to it? did it actually melt?

[tulip rapids]

why the leaked prototype better ?

[tropic urchin]

Scamaze

[tawdry tree]

rip

[tulip rapids]

some old grandpa must had sucked on it and put it back in the box

[glacial wind]

he just licked the dragon for good luck. a common mistake

[tropic urchin]

Its like you order a burger from McDonald’s in America and it looks nothing like the advertisement

[tawdry tree]

also why the fuck are there tiny hairs all over it

[crimson sky]

that looks like a piece of choclate from an advent calendar

[tropic urchin]

@cyan lark

[ionic breach]

😭 it passed qc

[tawdry tree]

was it made in a barbershop or smth?

[tropic urchin]

No Turing did a QC check

[ionic breach]

packaging

[tulip rapids]

its from the packaging

they used this weird black foam that makes a mess everywhere

[humble surge]

My only advice to you, and trust me this comes from a place of goodwill.
Next time do more research into what you are buying, not just the product, but the whole platform/company with user feedback. Don't just beleive their disclaimers and whatnot.
You would be surprised how many situations like these you can avoid then.

[tulip rapids]

varedis sensei recommended me it

his word is absolute

[humble surge]

Well then, you can blame him xD

[tropic urchin]

Okay don’t lump me into this

[cyan lark]

I lick keycaps for the good of the people

[tawdry tree]

@tropic urchin

[tulip rapids]

i dont blame you

shit happens

[humble surge]

Unlucky

[tulip rapids]

thats why im laughing at it

[tawdry tree]

you should, he owns the store

[tropic urchin]

Interesting

[ionic breach]

lowkey just sue varedis no?

[tulip rapids]

hes one of the dons in the keyboard modding

i could never

[humble surge]

We also just have to YOLO things sometimes

Been there

[tawdry tree]

haven’t heard that in a long ass time holy

[tulip rapids]

before i purchased it i made sure to contact support and they replied back with i could return it before i bought it

[tropic urchin]

And I’ll countersue the manu for deceptive advertisement for any damages

[tulip rapids]

now i just wait for their reply again

[humble surge]

Same actually, current gen lingo is much different, i'm not as up to date

[tulip rapids]

cap

[humble surge]

(updates paused on this OS for stability and OC reasons)

[paper bloom]

I see it

MAYBE it is time to return it LOL

[tulip rapids]

not till you eat your hard candy dear

[tropic urchin]

After seeing Rama works scam the lazurite novelty keycap maybe it’s best to avoid all set specific novelty keys like that

[tulip rapids]

you know the scam is bad when i got the piss yellow roles talking shiiii

[tulip rapids]

that ugly etsy dragonball keycap doesnt look so bad now huh varedis ?

[ionic breach]

i can only just see the radioactive piss for that role after playing dispatch now

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/silence-light-blue-role-blue-role-silence-discord-cowwuhh-gif-10600316087674501928

[humble surge]

How much was it btw Goku?

[cyan lark]

(I do hate the color we got for 60v2 founder)

[tulip rapids]

wouldnt you like to know weather boy

[cyan lark]

I feel betrayed

[humble surge]

well it's not really the goal of knowing the price

but rather to judge how many hamburgers at BK i would eat out of sadness

[cyan lark]

I think it might be the official color of Polish Puke Pots

[humble surge]

but joke ruined, whatever

[ionic breach]

lol purple wooting team role robbed

[robust siren]

real

[paper bloom]

HELL NAH

[tulip rapids]

yeah i dont enjoy the colour of the role either

maybe it should have been red or something

[ionic breach]

isnt it the 80he role colour?

before it got changed

[cyan lark]

80HE is the blue you two have

[tulip rapids]

yeah i always known it as blue

[ionic breach]

oh yea it was

AHAHAHAAH

[cursive basin]

Rgb in 80he is actually crazy

[cyan lark]

😕

[tulip rapids]

lowkey should had gotten this

[ionic breach]

that was the 80he role colour originally

[cyan lark]

Must've been before my time

[ionic breach]

before raquel changed it iirc

[humble surge]

Discord is missing an important feature i feel

[cyan lark]

There is role color priority, but it's set by the owners

I'd gladly go back to my salmon iHasWooting color over this 🙂

[humble surge]

Yes i was referring to users being able to freely select any color on the ranks they have already obtained, it would further promote customization for sure.

[potent tundra]

Guys would these stabilizers be better than stock stabilizers on a wooting , 60he and will they fit? https://kbdfans.com/products/gateron-clip-in-stabilizer-pcb-mount?_pos=5&_sid=6f0db87bd&_ss=r

[ionic breach]

no its not better

[potent tundra]

then what are the cheapest stabilizers that fit on the 60he?

Oh

Ok

[marsh saffron]

the stock ones

[ionic breach]

^

its not a quality difference between stabs

[marsh saffron]

the stock ones are fine with a lube and tune

[ionic breach]

u need to lube and tune new ones too

[potent tundra]

Ok nvm then

[tulip rapids]

yeah same your money get lube and grease

then re lube the stabs yourself

[robust siren]

these are the stock ones the 60he uses

just buying the same stabs

[potent tundra]

Oh

[potent tundra]

why is lubricant 27 dollars for 5 grams i think?

Is it that expensive

[ionic breach]

from wooting?

[potent tundra]

Yea

It's 25/27 dollars for me

[ionic breach]

u dont gotta buy from wooting

[potent tundra]

What am I supposed to buy? That krytrox thing and a tool? ( If i only want to lube stabilizer)

[tropic urchin]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

Input your region and you should get a few local websites to buy from

[paper bison]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1034138459088109589/1065079347947524207/output-onlinegiftools_1-1.gif

[rough hedge]

Wooting price for the lube set is on par with other vendors for original krytox brand. At least from what I've seen. Off brand is of course cheaper

[uneven cradle]

So close to picking up cloudnine r2 before it ends

[potent tundra]

What type of keycaps will work with lekker tikken switches

[tropic urchin]

Any should be fine realistically

[potent tundra]

Do you know any 10-15 dollar keycaps or are the stock ones better than any keycaps in that price range

[ionic breach]

id say so yea

[potent tundra]

I never knew keyboard modding was this expensive....

[chilly mural]

Yesh, but don't worry, you only have to spend once

[proven wadi]

Got 100 of "WS Flux HE Switch Deep Clacky Sound 35gf" switches today from aliexpress, they feel pretty good 🙂

[thorn yew]

Huge W's to this person right here just helped me find my switches

[tropic urchin]

Nice! What did you get?

[tropic urchin]

Nice jar sir 🥶

[thorn yew]

I didn't order just yet but I'm going to get the Owlab Ti HE, The Raptor V2's, The MMD C1's and the WS Flux deep clacky

[tropic urchin]

Oh shit you going for the full infinity gauntlet

Those should be a pretty wide range for feel

[thorn yew]

Yeah I'm trying to see which ones I'm gonna like

[stoic ocean]

Ufo good too

but expensive

[thorn yew]

Where did you get them from on AliExpress cause I want to get them too

[thorn yew]

Do you think I should get one more?

[proven wadi]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009888870031.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.4b4418020yGR6b

[tropic urchin]

I don’t have any data on the ufo switches so can’t say if they’re worth trying or not, I don’t see how they’d be different enough from flux or POM unless you’re Asdasmos with a whole ufo themed board

[thorn yew]

Thank you very much

[tropic urchin]

Then I can see the wide appeal

[cyan lark]

Oh how did we not ping him about the UFO switches

[tropic urchin]

Oh he knows

[cyan lark]

Good 😌

[tropic urchin]

He should atleast

[tropic urchin]

I’d say probably wait for the next new release and take your pick from the current offerings

[cyan lark]

Is this fiscally conservative Varedis? 😯

[lethal ingot]

Does white and gold or black and gold look better for a keyboard?

[proven wadi]

@thorn yew i really like the "geon he raw 40g" switches too.

[thorn yew]

Do you have them?

[tropic urchin]

I don’t have strong feelings for the ufos, their sound is pretty generic clack and the switch shape is kinda unique, but nothing that gets me going

[thorn yew]

Bet

[thorn yew]

Are you guys talking about me?

[tropic urchin]

I’d get 40g owlabs and have them substitute for geon raws

[tropic urchin]

No someone else

[thorn yew]

Oh mb

[tropic urchin]

All g

[proven wadi]

@thorn yew https://eloquentclicks.com/products/geon-he-raw-switches?variant=49925295079762

[thorn yew]

I'm going to get all of them and compare them to see which one I like

But get the 40g version of Owlab switches right?

[tropic urchin]

Fair enough

Figured I’d throw it out there since they’re the old meta from 2024

Before the new switch production

[tropic urchin]

Depends if you want a light feel or not

If not 50 is fine too

[thorn yew]

DeltaKeyCo has them aswell

I figured since I’m ordering the owlab ti he’s and the raptor v2’s might aswell get the geon he raw from there

[tulip rapids]

i got the full refund for the mw bade bragon hard candy

but may the picture live long in this chat

[tropic urchin]

They’ll be outdated stability wise, but if you’re getting both get owlab 50g and geon 40g to get both feels

Since they’re short spring switches their springs should be compatible

[tropic urchin]

I’m radicalized

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/the-god-father-marlon-brando-vito-corleone-talk-to-me-gif-20107028

[tulip rapids]

have some hard candy dear

year of the bragon

[chilly mural]

Good riddance

[tulip rapids]

yeah deskhero came clutch for that

[thorn yew]

Yeah I’m getting both

[rotund perch]

I'll be part of the family too soon

[tulip rapids]

hell yeah brother

the flux hive mind grows more everyday

[rotund perch]

27th estimated

[thorn yew]

So the updated Switch list I’m going to get is:
1: Geon HE RAW
2: Owlab Ti HE
3: Raptor V2
4: MMD C1
5: WS Flux (Deep Clacky)

[tropic urchin]

Might as well add HMX crystal HE since those are new too if you can get em

Think it’ll have a different sound to it

Fiberglass bottoms so it should be brighter if you’re into that

[thorn yew]

Okay I’ll check in a bit

I’m in Europe btw so yeah if you know any websites that sell switches feel free to tell me

[tropic urchin]

Deltakey co is the main one iirc

[thorn yew]

I’m ordering from there!

Do they Have the HMX Crystal HE?

[tropic urchin]

Dunno

Am American

[thorn yew]

Oh

All good

I’ll see where they have them

[rose phoenix]

hello, are durock v3 plate mounted stabs compatible with the OG 60HE? my stock stabs are faulty so i need to order a new set

[uneven cradle]

What you mean by faulty

[unique surge]

are the tx ap rev 4s compatible w/ the 60he v2

[rose phoenix]

spacebar gets kinda stuck and feels different when pressed on the left side compared to the right side

[uneven cradle]

Have you tried taking out and putting back in or relubing

[tulip rapids]

found the guy who made the mw bade bragon

hard candy bing chillin

alright im sorry i'll stop

[sacred elm]

TX AP screw-in stabilizers will be compatible with the 60HE v2

[unique surge]

im going to be gummy oringing it

cant find any good traditional gasket mount cases

what about the clipins?

[rose phoenix]

yeah, I tried taking the stabs from another location on the keyboard so I could test it, and there's something wrong with the left side of the spacebar stab specifically.

I'd like to know if anyone here has ever used durock v2/v3 plate mounted stabs on OG 60HE, and if it fits on the steel plate with no issues

[uneven cradle]

So it worked fine with those other stabilizer housings?

[rose phoenix]

yeah

[uneven cradle]

It's likely due to the lube may need to be cleaned out and replaced with new lube

Either way if you buy new stabs you'll have to manually lube it anyway

[rose phoenix]

yeah, i'll have to buy lube on aliexpress anyway, and it'll take around three weeks to arrive. so i figured i might as well grab some plate mounted durock v3 stabs too since they're pretty cheap. i'm just not completely sure whether they're compatible with the OG 60HE

[uneven cradle]

Should be just make sure it's the 6.25u version

[autumn temple]

Zhong Xina?

[thorn yew]

I don't know if you ever heard of the UniKeys website but they have them and they ship to my country

[tropic urchin]

Unikeys is legit too, thought I was missing one off the top of my noggin

[thorn yew]

Oh okay then

[proven wadi]

I let my 7 year old son pick what switches he wanted from all that i have, he liked the "tcc honey king" the best 🙂

i thought pbt is better? why do gmk only have abs caps?

[cyan lark]

PBT isn't better, only different

[thorn yew]

Bro there was only one left for the 10pcs and I was too late and I can't get itttttt

There's other links aswell tho thanks to this person for sharing them

[robust siren]

pbt has a deeper sound profile and usually shines later
abs has a brigher sound profile and usually shines earlier

[thorn yew]

The 10 pcs from this link are sold out

So yeah the picture you sent was proof that you actually got them

Now I don’t know from what other link to get them from

@robust siren Said he got his from GGBOY so I might get them from there? Not Sure

[robust siren]

just get it from any of these links and youll be fine, just look for whatever is cheapest for you

[frigid knoll]

thank god i asked

was really considering them

[cyan lark]

I haven’t tried them but they have mixed reviews at best

[tidal frigate]

Dunno Raeds are great switch.

[cyan lark]

I’d like to try them. I keep asking people to send me some, but I’m not willing to pay 😃

[glass dragon]

I got some, waiting on my 60hev2 tho. Can try them on my Nuphy Field75HE, but it wont be an apples to apples comparison

Rubber dome isnt for everyone, but I love em

https://youtu.be/HsIYbLFogr8?si=6SJtnpkzHCTvECEO
Its personal preference, buuuut its easier on the ears for me to listen to low-pitched sounds than “clacky” and “deep clacky” switches

[cyan lark]

They sound like a thousand house gnomes stampeding in your walls. Definitely different

[tropic urchin]

nah thats more like 2 house gnomes whispering through your walls

[cyan lark]

Which 2 🔪

[hot ledge]

Which of these 3 switches sounds the best for my wooting 60he, raw l50, lekker tikken or gateron jade?

[uneven cradle]

We have a recommendation list for what are currently the "best" depending on what you're looking for

[hot ledge]

Can you give me the link please?

[sacred elm]

https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

[hot ledge]

Alright thanks

[hollow sand]

How many standoffs should i use with tofu 60 redux?

[hot ledge]

The lekker tikken sounds the same on the 60he just like on the v2 right?

[cyan lark]

60he and 60hev2 prebuilts are by themselves going to sound very different

[tropic urchin]

stock V2 has different internals than stock 60HE so its going to sound different

FR4 plate instead of Steel/PC plate, and friction fit adds its own flair

[cyan lark]

And (optionally) silicone pad

[hot ledge]

Is there any sound test with the 60he?

[thorn zealot]

im sorry but usps failed me today

[frigid knoll]

ive watched this vid 10000 times lmao

[cyan lark]

I am sorry my friend

but you also defended the onset of Monday so I'm a little torn here

I thought usps wouldn’t let me down

But instead they ship my pad to ma yesterday morn, and decide to circlejerk each other for the next 2 days

chat i cant wait for my upgrades😔 ill be ordering them next month and all i can do until then is think about it

[main mason]

reccs for high quality WOB pbt cherry profile keycaps? (for wooting 80he)

https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-doubleshot-wob

how are these?

[lone tide]

just fine i would guess

[main mason]

theres also the gmk ones but those are abs

[lone tide]

if you wanna get pbt then id just go with those probably
i havent used them personally but ive also not hear negatives about pbtfans

[glacial wind]

wuque studio ones are quite nice too

[soft monolith]

Are the wooting Lekker Tikken Mediums similar feel to the lekker v2 l60 linear? Bc I really like those ones and I know the 60he v2 uses lekker tikken mediums im not really all knowing with switches anyone have an answer I would greatly appreciate it :3

[uneven cradle]

these are probably the best deal you'll get on GMK but they won't actually come out till Q2 next year

https://geon.works/products/group-buy-gmk-cyl-mono

[glacial wind]

they're closest on the store to that yeah. They're a tad lighter end but not by much and have a high starting force still

[soft monolith]

Oh awesome sounds great thx :3 btw have you get colors on your name

[lone tide]

that colour is for the wooting team

[soft monolith]

Oh 🙁

[lone tide]

you can get the pink i have for buying a wooting or the lime-ish colour you see on others for the 60he v2 pre order i believe

[soft monolith]

I preordered the 60he v2 the hour it was available

[lone tide]

you should be able to claim the discord rewards then

[uneven cradle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hmRHWZSeXw

I had to unlink and re log in it in and refresh 🤦‍♀️

[lone tide]

atleast you have a sick new colour on your name😎

[soft monolith]

Thx for the support from y’all ❤️

Yippee

[lone tide]

thats what the discord is for

[soft monolith]

I plan on getting these for my keyboard when it gets here can’t use the space bar but the white split will blend perfectly

[lone tide]

pretty cool
i plan on getting pbtfans doppleganger multilingual

[soft monolith]

Sick

[main mason]

oo

[glacial wind]

wuque studio and pbtfans both good though, just pick what you like more

both fairly good doubleshot pbt simple sets

[main mason]

what are the other comparable options in the market, or is it just these two on the top for pbt wob keycaps ?

[glacial wind]

well doubleshot pbt those are the 2 most popular probably but theres probably 50 options on the market but no point naming every single one

both of those are the 2 popular recommended options for doubleshot pbt

[full night]

do you guys know the best keycap set with transcendent symbols? (for rgb) would be nice if they have split spacebars available too

[shrewd badge]

Anyone know good german iso keycaps? I just want a purpleish tone with pbt

[little glen]

wooting double shot pbt are good enough

[glacial wind]

yeah for shine through there's no reason to swap off the wooting ones already

usually people swap off because they don't like shine through or want a particular color combo

if you're looking for shine through specifically then the options are super limited and not really big reasons to swap off wootings stock one

[little glen]

only reason to swap off wooting ones while keeping shine through is if you want to make your keyboard ugly (pudding keycaps)

[trail bane]

Or cerakey raed build

[floral summit]

Off topic here but how do you get the 80HE but only got 77.5% tag?

I dont see any option to claim it in my wooting profile on the site. Only the ihaswooting one was available.

[little glen]

hmm maybe you should try again later

did you buy the 80he during the founder's campaign?

[floral summit]

Oh it had to be during the founders campaign? If so i dont think i did.

[stoic ocean]

Hey everyone, I'm currently thinking about which 3 keyboards I'm going to buy. Unfortunately, I don't know which color to choose for one of them. If I send you some pictures and you tell me which one you like best, is that okay?

[little glen]

sandgold

[little glen]

unfortunate

it is the best looking role after all (after wooting team)

[floral summit]

Yeah looks cool which is why i was wondering if i was supposed to have it or not haha. All good though

[full night]

is this any good?

[trail bane]

Who knows

[raw moon]

Any one know a good build to make the 80he sound thocky creamy? (still needs to be fast I play competitively)

[little glen]

[little glen]

take a listen through the sound tests here: https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

maybe you can find something you like

[calm pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/venom-gif-27487650

[little glen]

i would also swap the plate on 80he to fr4/alu/cf/pom

[calm pulsar]

which plate is the creamiest tho

[trail bane]

Tuff

[final goblet]

DCF

[little glen]

now i just need a shop to stock cheap ones in EU

[final goblet]

how expensive should they be?

[little glen]

AE price

[final goblet]

what is AE price

[little glen]

none of the ali sellers ship to germany

[final goblet]

OH

rip :(

probably rules and regulations

[trail bane]

Find a polish vendor which will send you them to Germany

Tip: don’t pick Jakubix as vendor

For your safety

[tropic urchin]

You’d get truthear hexas for free and it would wind up costing you your soul

[tame garnet]

Are new stabs worth it? I just ordered the v2 module and thought of maybe buying some aftermarket stabs for it

[tropic urchin]

Probably not, unless you get bad stab luck and don’t wanna tune them

[trail bane]

Unless you’re moddingchad

[fallen crag]

From everything I've heard, the stabs on the default for the 60V2 and 80HE are good enough if lubed after purchase. If you want something BETTER I'd just not worry about it, differences will be minimal compared to just lubing. If you just want something that you personally prefer then I'd say go for it by all means.

[trail bane]

How is your plate unc

[tropic urchin]

Dunno

Haven’t checked Aliexpress

Wouldn’t surprise me if it hasn’t left Chyna yet

[tame garnet]

Thank you

[tidal frigate]

Change countries then, if you want access to aliexpress

[little glen]

i have access to aliexpress

its just some sellers dont sell to me

[raw moon]

thank you, will look into this!

[tropic urchin]

He wants you to move in next door hes got your bowl waiting for you 🥺

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin this, this is not good

of course the bundles are cheaper than the iems on its own

[tropic urchin]

Technically isn’t Black Friday yet ☝️

[tidal frigate]

You either love hexas or hate them. There is no in between

[tropic urchin]

Or you just get better audio equipment

Or that OW60

[tidal frigate]

Like i said. You either Like or hate truthear hexa

[tropic urchin]

Like I said, live a little and maybe you’ll improve your medic KD

[tidal frigate]

Well how much money are you willing to give for my car collection?

[tropic urchin]

basicly its bettter

[tropic urchin]

$0

Sell them to Germany

Since that’s a part of your master plan :POWAGA:

[left depot]

you tell me

[calm pulsar]

cars were part of humanitarian aid from Germany, so it would look bad trying to sell back to them

[tidal frigate]

You do not even know how to use emojis

[left depot]

they dont have nitro, getting paywalled

[twin wasp]

I’ve got a White 90s Celica if you want it

I'am talking he doesent know how to use them. Not that he doesent have access to them

[left depot]

[calm pulsar]

at least he doeses knows english

[tidal frigate]

Well he only knows English

[winged tusk]

Which stabilizer set should I get from AliExpress

[trail bane]

Actually, varedis have nitro

He just don’t have rnd.pl servers

[winged tusk]

Is this seller legit ?

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EIuPWdQ

[tropic urchin]

basicly you can’t even speel

[ionic breach]

prob

scamming people on keyboard stabs would be kinda odd

[tropic urchin]

@stoic ocean Blue if you go for a fun colored keycap set, silver if you want versatility above all

[trail bane]

Damn takara tomy

[calm pulsar]

is that a good brand? I just saw a machine selling these and got me one

[trail bane]

As i remember

Yep

[silk hound]

yes

the premium model is nice, but how much you got it for?

[calm pulsar]

don't remember exactly, but it was not more than a hundred yuan, maybe 45-90, so like 6-12 bucks

[tulip rapids]

raquel have you seen the magikarp set?

Do you use it like a hammer because you don’t know how to aim with your brick g502

if you want a lighter option i got you jakubix

[tropic urchin]

Wired yuck

[cyan lark]

Vicious modders today

[stoic ocean]

I still don't know, man, because in some photos the silver looks too dull and sometimes too bright.

[astral hawk]

Hey guys, I wanted to ask y'all what stabs you can recommend for the 80HE? The spacebar doesn't sound very nice with the stock ones imo

[uneven cradle]

Recommending lubing the stock ones since if you buy new ones you're going to need to lube them too

[glacial wind]

Also what do you mean by doesn’t sound very nice

Do you mean you have rattle or you hate the pitch or something else?

If it’s a pitch problem then changing stabs isn’t a solution

[astral hawk]

the most noticing noise is the rattle. By pitch idk what you mean tbh.

Yeah I am very sure it's the rattle. Cuz with the tape mod the other stabs sound so nice

[uneven cradle]

If its rattle it likely just needs to be lubed further

[tropic urchin]

I usually like silver above all for case colors depending, but for me the silver isn’t as flashy and the blue with the blue marble on the sides looks really nice. I’m very partial to the blue since I like more colors personally

[astral hawk]

Ah okay. I will give it a try, when my issue is resolved with my replacement case, and give you a feedback if it did work 🙂

[stoic ocean]

With this can look sick

[astral hawk]

Is there a good budget lube option? The one on your website seems to be a bit too expensive with 24,99

[stoic ocean]

In some photos I've seen, they deliberately used a very white light to make the silver stand out, but in reality it's a bit dull because you don't have that kind of light 24/7.

[glass dragon]

Cannonkeys has krytox 205g0 for 13usd

[uneven cradle]

You'll need something thicker than 205g0 for the stabs ld recommend either xht-bdz or dieeletric grease

Can use 205g0 for the housing though

[astral hawk]

"dieeletric grease" is probably the cheapest option right?

[uneven cradle]

Yeah

[astral hawk]

Okay, I'll buy that then

[tropic urchin]

It has enough color for the blue to not look off, so I’d say go blue even if you won’t use that specific set as there’s a lot of colorful sets to choose from too

[astral hawk]

Thank's for you help 🙂

[tropic urchin]

If it was kinda flashy silver then I’d say go silver, but dull silver isn’t always a fun look

Has to have that white gold aesthetic shine imo

[lone tide]

holy60 anodized silver is gorgeous

[tropic urchin]

Yeah that’s a nice one

The icy blue/mint green and the light purple also look really nice

[lone tide]

shame the tofu60 redux anodized silver isnt as pretty its way more dull

[tropic urchin]

Mint green is probably my favorite of those colors

[glacial wind]

I almost went for that silver for the holy I had to grab for friction fit testing

But I hate the holes and have too many silver cases so I bought a black one lol

[lone tide]

its actually the perfect silver

[glacial wind]

My personal build will probably be holy60 for a bit since I wanted to use my spare cases for something

Holy60 with the fbb opxy keycaps I bought for Black Friday

[lone tide]

people say the holy60 sounds like ass but idk i dont hear it ngl

[glacial wind]

it’s cause the sound escapes and the case resonates

You can help it a bit by buying the bottom covering

[lone tide]

im tempted to buy the silver holy60 ngl

[glacial wind]

I wouldn’t use it as my main case if I didn’t have a nicer sounding cause already for sound tests personally lol

[atomic dune]

@glacial wind does friction fit work with the holy?

[glacial wind]

that’s what I wanted to test. It should but I’m not 100% sure

[lone tide]

im probably gonna end up getting the tofu60

[atomic dune]

oh you haven’t gotten it yet?

[glacial wind]

Nah I grabbed one last week because we kept getting people asking about it and none of wooting folk have one handy to test

[atomic dune]

got it! pls lmk!

[glacial wind]

I’m fairly sure it should work dimension wise, but can’t know for sure until we actually test it to be fully sure

I’m more exited for new keycaps honestly

The fbb opxy are pretty

I need a carbon fiber split plate though, then we’re getting to my jam

[atomic dune]

@glacial wind even if friction fit works, do you think it’ll have a grounding issue with the holy?

[glacial wind]

I don’t personally care about grounding issues at all

[paper bison]

you could always just tray mount it if you're worried about grounding or clearance with friction fit

[glacial wind]

But the official advice will be to do one screw for grounding type stuff

for my personal build I don’t care at all about that and will just throw it in though

Honestly personal build I might even tray mount it just because I don’t like movement in my personal builds

[uneven cradle]

I feel this, need to switch up on my next case colour

[glacial wind]

The black makes the side holes hidden a bit lol

I still say the holy80 has one of my favourite top looks, but then I see the holes on the side and hate that part

[glacial wind]

For record almost every 3rd party case will not be grounded so it’s just always going to be a ‘do one screw loosely or add a metal sponge thing’ for almost every case if you want to ground it

Grounding is not something generally done or focused on by brands. Wooting is an exception in that it’s an extra level of safety we wanted to do with newer cases that we make

[paper bison]

honestly my plan too, it's cool to have friction fit but tray mount stability is nice

[uneven cradle]

Was real close to getting the cloudnine r2 in titanium

[glacial wind]

Yeah for gaming I like a stiff build, and I have 2 other v2s in friction fit so I can always use those

[stoic ocean]

As you can see, it's the same color, but it really depends on the lighting, and I think it's nice, but not enough to please me.

[glacial wind]

I wonder if friction fit wooting works in that lol

[paper bison]

the v2 will be tray mounted in the holy60 purely for stability and i enjoy a stiffer typing experience, even coming from the 60he hard mount to 80he gasket mount was weird at first

[uneven cradle]

Na it's still mid port USB although they are running an IC at the moment which included Wooting as one of the options to select for possible PCBs

[glacial wind]

Oh that explains why I recall reading wooting removed somewhere lol

[atomic dune]

can you link the metal sponge?

[sacred elm]

https://www.amazon.com/MECCANIXITY-Conductive-Electrode-Shielding-Thickness/dp/B0CXPHPYZR

[uneven cradle]

Does look like they want to make the orbit r2 a fully preassembled venom board

Could be 60 or 65 but the colour options and the wooden side accents are pretty cool

[glacial wind]

That does look very cool

[stoic ocean]

The 60% is for 2026

[uneven cradle]

Both is good

[stoic ocean]

Yeah but i prefer 60

[uneven cradle]

Same

[paper bison]

just ordered a new artisan

[stoic ocean]

Instead of buying the 65% one, I plan to buy the Griffith 60

[paper bison]

good for you

[glass dragon]

GMK Laser is pretty good for a purple build

[uneven cradle]

GMK cubed is one of my personal favs in purple

But all these GMK sets might be a little too pricey for most sane people

[glass dragon]

I can’t think of any other brand with good purple sets 😭
Its only GMK recs

[paper bison]

gmk amethyst is nice if you can get it, or a clone

[trail bane]

[uneven cradle]

Pbt fans atomic purple also pretty nice

[ionic breach]

kkb hellaborous or smt

[tropic urchin]

Do I drop Selene for my purple fanatics

[stoic ocean]

I will go on the color bleu bro 🫡

[tropic urchin]

Nice choice 🌹

[sweet oak]

Which keycap is getting the best CRUNCH !!

[paper bison]

it’s gotta be W surely

just for maximum repeatable crunch effectiveness

[sweet oak]

For prolonged crunch W is definitely up there

[tropic urchin]

Centerpiece seems pretty crunchy

[sweet oak]

No….

[ivory stream]

Will ceramic keycaps hinder the gaming performance on a HE keyboard due to the weight or something?

[uneven cradle]

You'll need heavier springs for the spacebar

Aww it wants a little kiss

keebmat

No keeb mat

Just table

I wish, but I could never keep a desk mat clean

Keeping my mousepad clean is already hard enough

[robust siren]

keebmat sells one specifically for the 80he iirc

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

[tall hollow]

Oh interesting

They also sell poron switch pads!?

Compatible with HE switches!?

Oh hell no

[robust siren]

no switchy thoccc films

[tall hollow]

I 100% guarantee you that those switch pads will not work with the wooting HE keyboards

[robust siren]

yeah its not recommended to use switch films on HE keyboards

[tall hollow]

Yeah, let alone switch pads

Pads are the worst

[topaz flame]

What plate are you guys recommending with the Deep Flux HE switches + GT-80 case + SW knight stabs and torontofoam set? Is a fr4 plate gonna improve the thockyness compared to the default PC plate?

[glacial wind]

no, if anything it'll make it less thocky

just keep the stock plate

[topaz flame]

Thank you, will try with just the foam to get it more thocky then

does anyone know a list of the best, most high end cases (like owlabs for example)
price doesnt matter

are there other brands that kinda go into the „luxury segment“

[trail bane]

[glacial wind]

for what keyboard would be the big question too

that case list is mostly for our own cases and not listing every case since there's too many when you go into 60% especially

[left depot]

the novelties are great! rest of the set is a bit boring imo

[full night]

form factor doesnt matter for me. i did a little research and found following brands that looked interesting:

-Bowl Keyboards
-Smith and Rune
-Owlabs
-Mode Designs
-wuquestudio

feel free to enhance the list if you get what im looking for
(refreshing/creative luxury brands that innovate and dont make the 10000th same ass looking case)

[cloud crane]

I saw someone put wooting pcb in the singakbd unikorn or something
And there's a new case running for GB next month called Baionlenja Gehirn60 that apparently fits wooting pcb using an adapter 🤔

[full night]

gb?

[austere creek]

groupbuy

basically like a kickstarter if i had to really dumb it down without explaining much.

groupbuys basically mean people pool money (so you spend upfront) to give it to a vendor/manufacturer to get a certain endproduct at a reduced price (or sometimes made at all). this can take months to year+ in a timeframe sense and it can also just not happen at all and if you get your money back is not always guaranteed from what i know.

[cloud crane]

Only enter groupbuys that are run by reputable and trusted vendors

[glacial wind]

Okay can confirm holy60 works with friction fit v2. No grounding of course though @atomic dune

[jade narwhal]

why wooting icon keycap is at right bottom corner

[glacial wind]

For some ads I had to record I moved it to be in corner where it’s in focus

[little glen]

Owlabs is a sub brand from qwertykeys, their other brands have some cool designs (that also arent super expensive)

Also if you want to see some potential upcoming keyboards i would check out the geekhack IC (interest check) and GB (group buy) forums

[unique parcel]

Hey guys, I’m really into buying the 80he with the iso layout, but I’d like to have the italian keycaps… Does anyone know any third party that sells italian keycaps that have at least the same quality as the wooting keycaps??

hey could someone tell me why my new tofu60 case wobbles on the desk?

i didn’t even put anything inside it yet and it does that

[little glen]

check the feet

[jade narwhal]

the rubber strip may cause it

from my experience, you can put a towel or something soft under the keyboard to reduce the wobble.

[crimson sky]

kbdfans moment

[lusty river]

feet looks fine to me

[lusty river]

sorry but i didn’t pay 70 euros for a case to put a towel under it

it also does it when i put it on the back

wtf is this the same for everybody? could someone with the case check? ty

[left depot]

sounds like something you gotta address to their customer support I think?

[crystal pagoda]

I love skibidifans finishing ☠️

just get bumpons if the long feet dont cut it

https://a.co/d/8LT2Rtd

[crystal pagoda]

If nothing else, it can also just be a table being uneven else but i doubt it if youre only noticing it with the case

But yeah try bumpons

[lusty river]

im new to this what is skividifans

hahah

[crystal pagoda]

kbdfans is called skibidifans because of how skibidi and chungus they are

[lusty river]

it’s on every table in my house i just tried

[crystal pagoda]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/357590942209015808/1376397830150946856/convert.gif

[lusty river]

I see hahah

[crystal pagoda]

ye try bumpons

[lusty river]

you think this could be just this unit

if i get another one it’ll be fine?

[crystal pagoda]

Nope

not sure what thatll change that $3 bumpons wont if its the feet thats the issue

[lusty river]

but why would the make a crooked case

how did no one notice this before

[crystal pagoda]

They didnt make a crooked case, if the case is crooked chalk it up to less than phenomenal quality control

Can also be the feets

Long feet are just meh in most cases

[lusty river]

it’s the same when i put it upside down on any table

[crystal pagoda]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1024491874150514738/1325660794309967935/convert.gif

Again consider bumpons or a keyboard mat or contacting cs

Not really much other options out there

[lusty river]

alright thank you!! it’s just crazy you have to deal with this

thanks for your advice!!

[crystal pagoda]

its a board made to be affordable and sold in figures of thousands of units, things slip through

[lusty river]

😓

[tropic urchin]

If it makes you feel better I didn’t see it wobble in the video

[lusty river]

hahah thank you! no it makes sounds, when I type etc i can hear it htting the table basically
I pressed in the corners just to showw the sound it makes

[stuck yarrow]

if its not the feet its the case itself or your desk

[main mason]

How are ceramic keycaps?

[cyan lark]

Heavy

[robust siren]

ceramicy

[robust siren]

i have this case and thats not normal, youd probably want to contact support about it

[tropic urchin]

They had some iffy QC when I first joined the space, but haven’t seen a lot of ppl rocking them, could be fixed, but they’re a love it or hate it kind of keycaps at high prices

[humble surge]

ice cool, extremely durable, thocky
getting crazed white or blues next month

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin waited too long

[chilly mural]

RIPPP

[main mason]

I’m in the market for new keycaps so I’m deciding on the material I want

[robust siren]

theres still hope as black friday is next week

[main mason]

Leaning towards doubleshot pbt

Although high end gmk abs keycaps do exist

[calm pulsar]

you're pretty much paying for proof of concept, and QC is not perfect, so it's a bit risky

[robust siren]

keykobo abs sets are pertty good

im loving mine

[main mason]

I prolly won’t go with Ceramic keycaps given what yall are saying abt them lol

[calm pulsar]

gmk, keykobo, pbtfans are one of the best out there

[quartz galleon]

Im all ears

[main mason]

Yea I’m trying to decide btwn abs and pbt bow

[robust siren]

abs will be brighter and shine quicker
pbt will be a little bit deeper and shine later

[lusty river]

thank you for your reply, Ill do that! 🙏

[main mason]

I heard abs tends to shine and show wear and tear faster

[tropic urchin]

Tuff

[main mason]

Yea I think I’ll go with pbt

[quartz galleon]

Abs sounds so great I love it

[main mason]

I def want deeper sound

[calm pulsar]

whats that

[quartz galleon]

Pbt is best for deep

I love clack

[main mason]

It’d be nice to have the deep sound of ceramic but pbt material

[tropic urchin]

I’d try asking @hollow heart since I think he’s got some of the newer batches

[robust siren]

astrals and the bundles are always cheaper than just buying the item alone

[chilly mural]

yesh, give the astral a nice home

[tropic urchin]

Get that bloatware

[calm pulsar]

to get the most in terms of pbt sound depth I suggest going dyesub (not doubleshot)

[main mason]

Wouldn’t I have to replace the springs if I go with ceramic keycaps

[robust siren]

dont astrals already come with a carrying case

[tropic urchin]

Kiwi ears pouch yeah

[humble surge]

theres nothing to be afraid of tbh, but i'll let you know when i get them, first hand experience
Your name is unique enough to remember for me.

[tropic urchin]

It’s not like the Xenns carrying case but it’s more portable

[main mason]

Does it still have the same features as doubleshot but just deeper sound?

[calm pulsar]

the keycap would be just one thick piece of plastic, no additional layers like with doubleshot, but alphas would be dyed into the plastic with ink

[robust siren]

I was considering these

They do seem very basic tho lol

im talking mod keys and stuff

[robust siren]

code key

[calm pulsar]

oh these are dyesub too

[main mason]

This one just says super lol

[robust siren]

or you get novelties

[humble surge]

@main mason if you allow it, the other option i was looking into personally was Awekeys, might worth a check.
This is not to say that nice PBTs shouldn't be considered, i still consider a few of them.
My priority was simply most durable keycaps AND trying to get a "thocky" sound, which both Ceramic and Awekeyes metals promise. A few other properties are also attractive on these over plastic for me, and price wise it's not even much of a difference.

[chilly mural]

I can almost see it, but I have a slight feeling even if same the color is going to be slightly off

unless you just not mix the one with the same color

[robust siren]

im using alt color cap and enter keys rn instead of clear novelties

[main mason]

I’ve never heard of awekeyes, I’ll look into them; appreciate it

[robust siren]

i could try some darker mods

[humble surge]

Me neither, until like last week.

[main mason]

I have similar priorities when it comes to keycaps btw

[chilly mural]

I had Razer metal keycaps that chipped off in the past, and nearly every ABS on any board i owned, got tired of it, so going for durable options that are still reasonable ^^

[main mason]

I’d rather just have a blank key there tbh

[chilly mural]

RIP, no blank spacebar for 60hev2

[robust siren]

i sold by pbt keycap set and i totally need to get another one....

🤨

[calm pulsar]

they might mean the transparent PC caps

[robust siren]

cleaner crispy sound? 👀
1.3mm thiccc keycaps

[main mason]

Also I’d like to prolong the signs of wear and tear on it for as long as I can bc my current keycaps are becoming whitened from the use over the years and do not look good at all bc of that lol

[humble surge]

Thats my goal

[robust siren]

transparent keycaps are abs i think

[main mason]

Not sure if it’s avoidable entirely or just inevitable at a certain point

[humble surge]

I think with Ceramic it's avoidable for the entire lifetime of the caps, the Metals might take a decade, plastic a few years shorter. Regardless of manufacturing.

[robust siren]

my pbt set barely shows any signs of shine after a year of use, only bottom left edge of the spacebar where i use it

[humble surge]

Thats my "guess" based on the materials and what they promise.

[robust siren]

it also just depends on the acidity of your sweat

[stoic ocean]

The set is pretty good; I thought I'd get the same one for my Dama 60, but I remembered that the silver on this case isn't the same as the one on the GT60.

I need a set with a slightly dark blue color

[humble surge]

I guess we can always use gloves, then the shittiest ABS will last a decade xD

[main mason]

Which ones do u have

[robust siren]

pbtfan crosshairs

[humble surge]

Better lol, one year on PBT should be nothing

[robust siren]

KKB RWB but its a lot of blue with no white alphas

[main mason]

Does pbtfans only carry doubleshot pbt

[calm pulsar]

they have dyesub too

and abs doubleshot

[main mason]

Ooo

[stoic ocean]

Just perfect bro thx

With this is perfect

[robust siren]

KKB RWB spacebars are so close for split

missing 1,25u

[main mason]

Nice, I currently have a Japanese set like that but I think I’ve outgrown it and looking for something different

[robust siren]

theres another option called KKB Lake Motosu

its a different shade of blue

[main mason]

Thoughts on side printed keycaps?

Is there a channel where ppl showcase their custom wooting kb btw

Looking for inspo

[robust siren]

[robust siren]

not my style but some people love them

[cyan lark]

They'll be a bit dimmer than on some other keyboards since Wooting LEDs are north facing

[humble surge]

I like the idea alot, but i'm unsure on the quality, i have only really found cheap sets on platforms.

[calm pulsar]

side printed caps but legends are on north side, thoughts?

[stoic ocean]

@robust siren Do you know of a set that would go well with the silver version?

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/elon-musk-this-is-gif-26631835

[stoic ocean]

In any case, if I go with blue, I'll definitely take the ones you sent, they're perfect.

[robust siren]

a lot of sets can go pretty good with silver cases

though i think lighter themed keycaps are better

[cyan lark]

https://omnitype.com/products/gmk-dualshot-2-keycaps

[main mason]

I think I’ll just get doubleshot pbt wob keycaps

[stoic ocean]

Unfortunately, I don't know any of the sets. If you can help me...

[main mason]

What company wud yall recc

[robust siren]

usually anything from here is good
just find your region and what colors you like
https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[robust siren]

pbtfans

[humble surge]

Dualshot CYL looks nice, and since i'm a PS1 owner i appreciate that.

[main mason]

any other one I shud consider or are they at the top

[cyan lark]

If you want ABS https://drop.com/buy/gmk-white-on-black-custom-keycap-set

[robust siren]

pretty much the best you can get

[rotund perch]

its the one that mostly fits for me lol

[robust siren]

i mean BOW or WOB will look basic since its just 2 neutral colors with nothing much special going on

but its clean

[humble surge]

ohh shiiii, just noticed on Cera 👀
Hopefully not all OOS by the time paycheck arrives lol

[calm pulsar]

@main mason some color schemes for inspiration

[cloud crane]

maybe keyreative idk

[stoic ocean]

I've looked at it, it's quite comprehensive I think I'll try several combinations and choose the one I like best

[humble surge]

Green Adidas build bussin fr fr

[tropic urchin]

Nice tracksuit keyboard pad 🔥

[humble surge]

very Gopnik

[main mason]

For wooting 80HE, I get the base kit right?

I think wooting also makes wob keycaps, but are those comparable to the pbtfans ones

[thorn yew]

Hey Guys

How's it going?

[main mason]

Damn why is shipping $23 on pbtfans 🧍🏾‍♂️

[thorn yew]

I hope everyone is doing good

[vivid star]

Just got the Lekker Tikkens, and they’re phenomenal - except for one thing. The keys with stabilizers (Shift, Enter, Spacebar) feel slightly sticky when bottoming out.
This doesn’t happen with my previous UR ICE Studio switches. The stabs are Durock V3.

Any idea how to fix this, or is it just due to the tighter tolerances of the Tikkens?

[thorn yew]

I'm actually searching for keycaps aswell since I'm getting the optimum case and it's grey I don't really know what color goes well with grey

The red ones look sick, maybe an orange color could go?

And blue

[tropic urchin]

Do you still have your stabilizer pads on?

If so that could be why

[vivid star]

No, I removed them the moment I got the keyboard

[tropic urchin]

Interesting

[cloud crane]

https://omnitype.com/collections/orenji/products/gmk-orenji-cyl
Something like this? Might be too vibrant though

[thorn yew]

👀

Yooooo

That's actually kinda fire

[cloud crane]

Agree

[thorn yew]

Do they ship to europe?

[cloud crane]

Uhh one sec

[thorn yew]

Okay

Oh yeah I'm also getting the split version of the wooting 60HE v2

what case is that?

[thorn yew]

Thanks man

Dama60

[cloud crane]

I don't see it up on oblotzky yet, might take a while perhaps

[thorn yew]

I mean if the website you sent ships to my country then I'm fine

[ivory plover]

Is there a case list that the wooting 60he fits in? Looking for metal. Trying to help a girl friend out

[cloud crane]

Just keep note that its a Groupbuy, means that the item isn't in production yet, after collecting the orders, they will pay the manufacturer (GMK) and start production.

[thorn yew]

https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f

[ivory plover]

wow super helpful!

[humble surge]

@thorn yew excuse me, but were you the one yesterday saying that you are getting a few different switches?

[ivory plover]

will this work on the new wooting 60he v2?

[thorn yew]

Yup that's me!

[thorn yew]

I don't know about that

[humble surge]

Okay, if i remember right, you didn't have UR Ice Ultras added, but had C1s and Flux and a few others, it's a noteworthy value switch if you feel like it, in price it's just slightly above C1.

[thorn yew]

1 sec

[humble surge]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008729262779.html if required

[thorn yew]

Yeah

Wait let me find my message

[thorn yew]

I think most of the cases on that list will work on the 60HE v2

[cloud crane]

There's more cases that work but can't buy and test all the cases in the world lol

[thorn yew]

That's the whole list

[fallen crag]

Just got the fluxes, gonna be honest for some reason the process of lubing them is making me a little worried

Never done this in depth of work before on a keyboard

[humble surge]

It's a good thing that cases don't require much testing, since it will be mostly about the aesthetic and the misc features/ease of assembly. So you can make sure you get the right thing without having to have it in hand first.

[fallen crag]

Any advice would be appreciated

[full night]

is it high quality? and can you fit the v2 split bars inside?

[thorn yew]

@humble surge I didn't order anything just yet cause I'm searching for keycaps but I will order them today

Check my message you'll see the list

[humble surge]

Yeah i understand, i just wanted to inform you that you should probably add it to the list if anything

[stoic ocean]

Is gh60 can fit but the quality i think is quite good look on twitter

[thorn yew]

So get 7 switches?

[stoic ocean]

Or kosioo_device on youtube i asked him to make a video

[thorn yew]

Like 10pcs of each?

[humble surge]

Ohh no, you get as many as you decide, i just wanted to mention it so you can consider

I don't know your plans, i was doing something similar like you, but i'm getting a total of 5 switch sets only

[thorn yew]

No I'm just saying cause some of those are the ones that I liked and some of them were recommended by other people here

[humble surge]

Yeah but for some reason people forgot to mention it and it was missing from the list, even though it is often recommended and it's nearly as cheap as C1s while still being good value.

So i mended that.

[thorn yew]

Yeah for sure no problem

Thanks for mentioning that

I was actually eyeing them but I wasn't sure

Oh also omnitype ships to my country let's goooooo

[humble surge]

No first hand experience from me, but it was tested by others here and a generally positive feedback, it seems to be accurate.

(yet anyways)

[thorn yew]

The other thing I had in mind is that it's gonna get expensive af

[humble surge]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message sometime soon hehe

[thorn yew]

So I'm not really sure of that list maybe you can help me sort it out?

[lusty river]

how are these keycaps? https://www.maxgaming.com/en/keycaps/blank-keycap-set-black
theyre pretty cheap compared to others

[humble surge]

I'm not the most knowledgable here, and i don't have most of them in hand to provide meaningful impession/feedback.
And since they are very subjective as to what a person would like it makes it harder.
It really depends what characteristic you value the most.

[cyan lark]

GMK Cosmos best blank set

[humble surge]

I can only recite my observations really for the most popular and usually recommended ones here, for now.

[thorn yew]

That's okay

[humble surge]

This is what i'm doing, if you care to see:

• UFO
• Flux
• Raptor V2
• UR Ice Ultra
• C1

[thorn yew]

Almost the same as mine

I'm really curious about the ufo's

[humble surge]

Same, it's already in germany, so hopefully this week ?!

[thorn yew]

Hopefully

So you have the others?

[fallen crag]

Honestly I’m trying these new fluxes, they don’t seem like they need the extra lubing, they feel smooth

[humble surge]

Nope, UFO will arrive first, tried to knock out the most expensive and untested first, so i can do it myself

[fallen crag]

Maybe I just don’t have a fine feel for that sorta thing but, they feel nice

[thorn yew]

Okay then

[thorn yew]

Well that's good to hear since I'm getting the fluxes

[fallen crag]

If anyone here has tried them before and after hand lubing could you let me know if there was much difference?

[humble surge]

Theres also a Flux recolor i think someone teased a few days ago, i wonder if it's just recolor or something else changed.
might consider that over the DCF color.

[fallen crag]

I personally like the pink so I’m vibing

[thorn yew]

Oh yeah someone told me about the HMX Crystal switches aswell

Are they good?

[humble surge]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message found it, these basically

launched 2 days ago if i read that right

[thorn yew]

@humble surge This what I was going with at first

[humble surge]

I saw that yeah

[thorn yew]

Oh you did?

[humble surge]

Yeah i remember seeing it and you guys discussing it

I even asked about the WS Dash i think

[cloud crane]

Some people over at milktooth say they're pretty decent sounding

[thorn yew]

My bad

[thorn yew]

Which ones?

[humble surge]

Nothing happened lol, i'm just saying

[tropic urchin]

Makes them deeper/more poppy feeling, they’re nice without, but they feel almost close to tikken poppiness after lubing and once they break in, but might just be my CF + poron combo

I’d say probably spring + get some on the top/bottom housing rails sparingly since stem is well lubed

Not required, but if you like poppiness I’d say lube em

[cloud crane]

Crystal

[thorn yew]

Oh

[fallen crag]

I’m mostly worried about feel there more than sound

Would that be affected much?

[thorn yew]

The Jade Rubies and Lavenders sounded really nice tho

[humble surge]

I haven't heard them

Hmm, i can't find the Pink Lotus actually listed anywhere, wonder if the 11.17 was NOT a launch date

cute switch jar lol

[main mason]

Is this normal ?

[cursive basin]

Guys are ur ultra ice he or lekker tikken better ?

They're similar but the ur is just more muted and lighter which both could arrange me

[cyan lark]

Don't get arranged

[cursive basin]

I mean like it'd be good for me

[humble surge]

Hard to say, very personal, maybe get a few pieces of both and try

[cursive basin]

Can't get a few tikkens

[humble surge]

UR Ice Ultra is very cheap, so easy to test

ohh i see

[cursive basin]

Ans shipping wouldn't be worth it

And to ship back I'd be hatd

[humble surge]

AliExpress shipping is pennies

[cursive basin]

My parents would cook me

[cursive basin]

I ordered 19 ur ultra alr they're coming on 27th
