does it fix when you scroll up and back down?

that normally fixes it for me on mobile

[robust siren]

i just restart the app when it happens

sometimes i can fix it by just swiping over to the channels

[trail bane]

Step 1: Get a Wooting
Step 2: Build it
Step 3: Plug your fancy Wooting into your phone
Step 4: Click F5
Done ☑️

[robust siren]

wooting cant run off phone

i think..

[trail bane]

You can kinda

But it wouldn’t handle even rgb lights

[robust siren]

i cant wait to see how bad iems+dac/amp destroys my iphone battery tomorrow

anyways eepy time

2:30am seems like a good time to call it a night

[ionic breach]

yea he is def oversleeping

[trail bane]

Oversleeping is hella nice

[fluid ravine]

waittt

lowk im looking at it dawn pro 2 is pretty similar to protocol max

doing my research rn

they use the same dac chip

but idk about the amp, and they both got eq bs but idgaf personally

but shi all i know is the biggest difference between the tw is the output voltage
but shouldnt matter much for iems anyways

[fluid ravine]

step 0: get a sony lens

[trail bane]

Of fr, my bad

[ionic breach]

nah u can

[glacial wind]

Btw for the v2 owlab plate you use the other hole in the owlab plate vs v1 @tidal frigate

So if you use with v1 you use the right most hole and v2 you use the one just shifted over

Vs v1

Okay now that I have some time I can look into the actual standoff stuff that @tawdry tree wanted

[tawdry tree]

Sno, man.

You can see the standoff locations are clearly different between both PCBs.

What in the world were you talking about.

[glacial wind]

Yeah I’m trying not to confuse Jakubix with his deal

Your whole thing is a different topic

[tawdry tree]

In this picture, the empty hole was supposed to be used, as you can see here.

[glacial wind]

Yeah the empty hole is used for v2

[tawdry tree]

It isn’t, you just don’t understand what I’m saying. Or what you’re saying for that matter.

[glacial wind]

And the filled hole is for v1

no I understand what you’re saying but I’m trying to separate Jakubix project from yours

[tawdry tree]

I asked you if you used the v2 in that picture, and why you couldn’t screw that screw in (the empty hole) you said there was no hole on the v2.

[glacial wind]

oh that's where the confusion is maybe

[tawdry tree]

After 2.5 hours, we’re finally getting somewhere, and Kevin is indeed right.

[glacial wind]

the photo is v1, the v2 i also used

the v2 you swap the location over one

so the plate works with both but the photo you saw is v1

[tawdry tree]

The v2 does not share standoff locations with the v1. The PCBs are different.

[glacial wind]

yep but that's not to be confused with the owlab plate for jakubix's thing

since the owlab plate works for both

[tawdry tree]

A plate having different screw locations than the PCB it’s screwing into is quite literally magic, which is why your statements were so confusing.

[tawdry tree]

Precisely, which is why I found that hole to be very interesting. As it shows that there was some planning done for the v2.

[glacial wind]

just a mix up in the photos then, now i see why you're confused. The photo is of the v1, but when tested it works on both v1 and v2

[tawdry tree]

The claim of the plates being different is beyond me.

I’ll believe it was ragebait.

or chatbait, whatever.

Good thing it’s cleared up, and the fact that the v2 does not share standoff locations 1 to 1 means that 3rd party plates need to be changed as well. So I’m quite happy that I did “worry”.

[glacial wind]

it depends on the specific plate if it has the alternate standoff location already or not

some plates with screw in standoffs already have the hole for v2

such as the owlab plate in this case

[tawdry tree]

Which? Apart from the OW60’s?

None other than the OW60’s.

None of the v1’s plates had an extra standoff, so those won’t be fully compatible.

[glacial wind]

i would assume it depends what file was used, just like how owlab included it even though it was for v1

[tawdry tree]

Design files weren’t shared of the v2’s new plate yet either of course, so we’ll have to wait with designing 3rd party plates.

[tawdry tree]

That was in collaboration with Wooting, Owlab couldn’t have known of that change if Wooting hadn’t communicated that.

Again, no plate file includes that hole.

Publicly available plate file.*

[glacial wind]

i don't believe we discussed any v2 stuff with them, hence why there's no split support

[tawdry tree]

You did.

Someone at Wooting did, otherwise that hole wouldn’t be there.

(not falling for the bait again though).

😭

[glacial wind]

did one of product guys mention doing it somewhere? Last i read we didn't even talk to them

[tawdry tree]

What are you even trying to argue here? Owlab just added a random hole that happens to match exactly with that of the v2?

[glacial wind]

no i'm not trying to argue, but i remember reading that we didn't discuss v2 stuff with them

if you have the message i'd like to know what was said so i can check

[tawdry tree]

Do you understand that that hole being there shows that there was communication between Wooting and Owlab regarding the v2?

[tawdry tree]

Or do you genuinely believe this?

[glacial wind]

yeah but that's why I want to check with product crew because we stated in the past that we didn't really communicate with them

[tawdry tree]

Then you can ask them, that’s not something I know.

[glacial wind]

i'm not saying you're wrong jesus. I'm trying to confirm what was said so I can confirm with product guys, because in the past we've had staff mention we didn't talk to them about v2 stuff

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, I don’t really get what you want me to answer though.

[glacial wind]

i was just asking if you had read a message somewhere or one of product guys maybe came and said something i didn't see

[tawdry tree]

I remember Calder mentioning in a stream that it was all Owlab’s doing.

[glacial wind]

not everything has to be some challenge or argument, jesus man

[tawdry tree]

Man..

If you took it as such, it wasn’t my intention.

[glacial wind]

it's fine just communicate stuff in text, sentiment gets lost

[tawdry tree]

@sacred elm Looping is gonna kill you. The v2 has different standoff locations from v1, so you can’t use the v1 plate file to make a v2 plate. It’s mostly fine as 7/8 standoffs still work perfectly fine but still.

[sacred elm]

Not my problem, that's what Wooting said

[tawdry tree]

True

[glacial wind]

i should tell them to add that to the pc plate section in accessories to make sure people know it's not compatible

[tawdry tree]

Good idea

[sacred elm]

It's just one standoff, doesn't really matter

It'll still work

[tawdry tree]

Yeah

[glacial wind]

yeah honestly all of these would still work fine assuming it's removable standoffs

[tawdry tree]

but it’s something to note for the future.

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, if it isn’t removable it might cause ticking.

[glacial wind]

it's more the non removable standoffs that might be annoying if there's interference

yeah basically what you said

[tawdry tree]

With the foams, yeah true.

I wonder why they changed it.

It must be something important but I can’t think of it.

[sacred elm]

@near wedge Did you order the PC plate? Turns out it's not fully compatible with the V2.

[glacial wind]

friction fit and stabiliser interference iirc

[tawdry tree]

It could be that ISO Enter’s PCB mounted stabilizer holes were too close?

[tidal frigate]

You already confused me already. And i'am not using owlab case with 60hev1

[glacial wind]

tl;dr is you need to use the steel plate with your v1 and not the v2 plate

but the owlab case fits with v2 1:1

[tidal frigate]

Yeah but i will put it in 60hev1 into 60hev2 case anyway

[glacial wind]

yeah but basically it means you can't use your fr4 plate into your v1 1:1

[sacred elm]

You can still cancel the PC plate if you contact Wooting and you'll get partial refund. @near wedge

[glacial wind]

good that you remembered, i was trying to find out who was the guy asking about that pc plate before shafie

[sacred elm]

yea

[tidal frigate]

I know because i've been told already it doesent support plate mounted stabilisers.

[glacial wind]

okay good, long as you know

[tawdry tree]

Rare Discord Mod W. Common shf W.

@glacial wind This was, unexpectedly, one of our most productive conversations yet. That’s a good sign right?

[glacial wind]

yeah i think a lot of the confusion was just mixed up there because of the whole owlab plate being discussed at same time so it's all good

[tawdry tree]

I’m glad you sent a picture of the OW60’s plate. I don’t think we would’ve figured it out if not for that.

[glacial wind]

okay pc plate text has been updated, so it should show whenever cookies/nodes etc refresh

[rotund perch]

my dcfs are arriving today not the 27th 🙏

[tawdry tree]

I thought this picture was just a wrong render when it was shared recently, but the thing actually has three magnets to stabilize the main magnet.. 💀

[sacred elm]

🤨

Initial force=Bottom out force

[tawdry tree]

Gateron carefully considered the fact that magnetic fields influence each-other so they made sure the switch performed adequately before announcing it.

[tawdry tree]

Nice if true.

[tidal frigate]

Magnetic tactile..

[tawdry tree]

Oh what the fuck, it isn’t actually to stabilize, it’s a fully maglev switch lmfao

Gateron is on crack I think

or shrooms

[tidal frigate]

Whats maglev?

[tawdry tree]

It uses magnets as a spring by the looks of it

[ionic breach]

magnetic levitation

so init force = bottom force isnt a typo

[tawdry tree]

I don’t understand how they achieve that with magnets though. Magnets still have a curve like springs do.

[ionic breach]

but i feel like its wrong anyways

yea

[tawdry tree]

Most accurate Gateron marketing statement 🔥🔥

[little glen]

Anything is possible if you just lie

[ionic breach]

idk

[glacial wind]

i'm more curious to see how they achieve this without screwing up the readings in keyboards

[ionic breach]

they on some thing

v curious tho looks cool

wonder how it sounds

[tawdry tree]

You’ll need to use those switches with that magnetic desk to even it out 🥰

[glacial wind]

i can roughly understand if they have a ring at the base and as you push down the magnet in stem pushes against the magnetic force of the base, but then that has to somehow not interfere with the sensor

[little glen]

Be careful, your keyboard might start hovering by that point

[tidal frigate]

@tawdry tree i think they want to create magnetic tactile switch thats work on every actuation point

[ionic breach]

gateron about to just make a full keeb out of lodestone

[glacial wind]

the concept itself is really neat though, but it also sounds like it could be nightmare to get precise

[tawdry tree]

Gateron predictions now? 👀👀

[tidal frigate]

Sno did you watch zfx livestream?

[glacial wind]

yeah, why?

[tawdry tree]

They have a hard time with the simplest switches, I do not trust them.

We’ll see.

[tidal frigate]

Well wooting knob is supossed to go above keyboard switch acording to calder

[glacial wind]

i feel like sometimes your conclusions are not what was said though...

and by sometimes i mean often

[tawdry tree]

In a switch location, not on top of a switch.

[tidal frigate]

Do you want be bring up stream timestamp

[little glen]

Something something broken clock

[glacial wind]

we all know how this goes though. Someone said something and you interpreted it a weird way which wasn't intended and drew some crazy conclusion

[tidal frigate]

Well this person is calder.

[little glen]

Calder says a lot of stuff

Calder just loves talking

Thank you

[tropic urchin]

[mental salmon]

I was thinking Father should already have all these sets:

[robust siren]

[ionic breach]

all but 2 he says

[hot rivet]

Anybody know how much the sound profile changes with the holy 60 vs a full aluminum case,

?

Ive been considering buying it but bc its an open case idk if the sound would change or not

[glacial wind]

a little more dampened, but you can 'save' a lot of the sound in a holy60 by adding the plastic bottom and fully friction fitting it

then it at least doesn't have that weird metallic resonance

[glacial wind]

for example this is a fully friction fitted holy60 with bottom cover with tikkens and 1.7mm pbt keycaps vs. optimum with deep clack flux and 1.5mm pbt keycaps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brzpb_fc-kQ

the holy60 sounds fine here, but that's after i did all full isolation with friction fit + silicone standoff covers + plastic bottom to fully isolate it from touching any metal on the case lol

[hot rivet]

so i should get the bottom cover panel, and bc i am using this for my 60he v2 coming in soon, i should be able to friction mount that right?

idk what the silicone standoff covers are but hopefully itll sound okay without em

im am planning on ordering ceramic keycaps so hopefully that balances out any clackiness

[glacial wind]

they're from kdbfans, they're like $4 or something for a pack. I just put them over the 2 standoffs for extra

oh make that $1 lol

https://kbdfans.com/products/kbdfans-standoff-silicone-cover

[humble surge]

They are thocky sound profile, well atleast they promise to be

[hot rivet]

yea ive heard a good bit of sound tests now

very thocky/marbly

i love it

[humble surge]

I'm getting some aswell, whenever they come back in stock

[glacial wind]

There’s 2 standoffs in the holy60 so I just put them over those 2 and stretched the foam holes around it

[hot rivet]

would you say the tape mod is worth getting?

or jus do it myself?

im assuming its just using like painters tape or something over the foam?

[sacred elm]

v2 comes with a tape mod

[glacial wind]

^ no reason to buy more tape mod really

[hot rivet]

gotcha gotcha

[glacial wind]

no matte split keys, no deal

[humble surge]

White still OOS, dammit

Maybe i just go blue, but idk

[glacial wind]

actually wait there's one workaround you could do

[humble surge]

A few

[glacial wind]

which is you buy a tkl mod blank kit just for the 3 split keys lol

[rotund perch]

yea I don't regret getting the dcfs at all

[humble surge]

Yeah, hopefully conversion kits also show up, like they have for ISO/ANSI

[glacial wind]

but the turn off for me with ever doing ceramic keycaps is that you have to spring swap all your switches to get the right weight again

[humble surge]

I don't think you have to, but rather either have the right switches with springs, or mod spacebar, rest should be okay from what i heard from users that already have Cera.
I can say more accurately when i have mine, with the switches i will use at the time.

[glacial wind]

well the problem is with most switches you don't get that option for right springs

none of the new gen stuff comes in spring options anymore

like if you wanted to use jade ultras for example then you're just out of luck if you want long springs

[humble surge]

Yeah but this once again seems more of a per person changing issue, rather than us being able to say, yeah nobody can use these at all unles x y z switches or spring put in ONLY.

The spacebar i completely understand

[glacial wind]

oh yeah i'm not saying no one can use them

just that for me and most gamers it's way too much hassle

unless the switches they specifically want have a heavy option as default

[humble surge]

We shall see, i'M also a gamer and an enthusiast, but for now i think based on feedback that it should be okay.
Again we find out later. I can then say hey, you were right, or hey, i tried these, what do you think now based on this additional feedback.

[glacial wind]

some stuff like deep clack flux you don't even have a heavy weight option yet

or any spring option

[humble surge]

I didn't even think of spring options, what i mean't is you probably need something that already has adequate springs.
Whatever that is, i'm not really aware what you "should have" or "need" for these exactly.

[glacial wind]

oh, the formula is already known

it's basically you up your weight by 10-15-ish

and that gets you something similar to what it was with normal keycaps

i played around with ceramics at the swagkey booth when they did the pop up shop here

[humble surge]

So i guess thats what the few people i read feedback from that got them and modded the spacebar springs. But their other keys didn't need modification.

[glacial wind]

yeah most people just kind of live with the fact that their alphas etc will be way lighter

[humble surge]

I see

[glacial wind]

and just mod their spacebar since that's too light

[humble surge]

Looking forward to trying it, they just really need to restock the crazed white

Worst case scenario, if they are unoptimal and it can't be solved, send back and getting a set of Awekeys.

[glacial wind]

i wonder if they improved v3 alignment actually

[humble surge]

Always had that in mind.

[glacial wind]

in korea they specifically said no refunds because they couldn't deal with all the imperfect alignment with v2

so it was just a 'deal with it' situation for the non direct purchases here

if you buy direct i assume it's covered though for alignment issues

[tropic urchin]

[humble surge]

Then just hoping i can solve it some other way.
The thing is it would be best if it works, cause i don't see a better material than Ceramic right now.
It's exactly what i need, durable, resistant to heat.

[hot rivet]

how much of an upgrade are tikkens from omnipoint 2.0s (steelseries HE switches)

[glacial wind]

[humble surge]

Thats intriguing

but their version seems to still show a spring

so is it both spring + side maglev?

[fallen pecan]

These are gonna be on the melgeek centauri boards as stock

[glacial wind]

maybe the spring is just there as backup? i'm confused why the spring is still there

[fallen pecan]

No idea, but early impressions are that they feel really good to type on

I love them, so smooth

[tawdry tree]

honestly, I think the gat one will be as well cause I don’t see how you could achieve an even force throughout the press otherwise, and we know gat is one to fuck up renders (like most manuscripts tbf).

[glacial wind]

we should honestly be glad ttc already have their version too, so at least it's not some weird gateron only locked patent thing

now if TTC can just lube their switches please

[humble surge]

Thats probably gonna be my first TTC purchase, if those wishes align Sno

[tawdry tree]

I wonder where TTC’s silent switch went. Was it announced at ZFX or not at all? @fallen pecan

[glacial wind]

I wonder who leaks the tech between the brands because it's very clear both gateron and ttc have the same concepts over and over, so someone is talking and both brands pushing the same ideas at same time

[sacred elm]

jakubix

[tawdry tree]

I’m surprised TTC didn’t jump on the split stem trend yet

[glacial wind]

they did jump on it, their new silent is split stem

[fallen pecan]

Not at all, just the 035 and the plastic wrapped koms for zfx

[glacial wind]

they never released info about it much though on western side, but they showed the silent at the shows in china and it was split stem

[tawdry tree]

interesting, I don’t think I’ve seen it yet

[glacial wind]

yeah i feel we're about to get a massive wave of new switches if all of these things come out together

[verbal island]

damn, where are you? Looks like some electronics conference

[glacial wind]

we have ttc + gateron silents plus both have their new constant force mag lev things now too

plus ttc has new kom switches incoming too

[robust siren]

case assembly looks similar to what the kbdfans gt-60 is, i wonder how thats mounted

[stoic ocean]

I think is tadpole , tray

Tadpole aye

[robust siren]

thats a pretty fat brass centerpiece weight

[uneven cradle]

9° is a little too much for me though

[glacial wind]

oh that new melgeek board is using 80he style layout lol

i don't know why everyone copied that layout of all things

[uneven cradle]

Yeah it only makes sense to me on the context of the knob

[glacial wind]

they also added a knob, making sure to say it's both spin and push

although it's not swappable into different spots like ours

[uneven cradle]

Damn that is definitely one of the case designs

Could have been a TKL with removing that massive edge design

[glacial wind]

oh that is quite the price

[chilly mural]

I mean, it does look nice. I just don't like how there's a massive screen there.

[peak breach]

waiting for a premium cable i like

[robust siren]

what is this gif

[peak breach]

aaaand also the knob

dont think i'll be able to reach 1k

[robust siren]

im using the cabelmod pro straight c

[chilly mural]

Man, really sad knob had to be delayed

[uneven cradle]

Iykyk

[full night]

ok imma go crashout mode then with my build. will take some time till the parts arrive though

[tropic urchin]

If your wallet is still breathing you got more to spend

Thems the rules

[peak breach]

not expensive enough

[robust siren]

get one of those custom usbc cables

[full night]

also i couldnt find any case more exoensive than the owlabs….
these luxury brands just sell full keyboards (not even HE🤢)

[peak breach]

i would if they could guarantee working fine with 8k he boards

i could make the build more expensive by buying some expensive ass gateron switches

[full night]

wouldve loved this one but group buy over + i dont want to miss on he features and idk if there are he modules for this layout😑

[chilly mural]

Venom 65HE

but not sure about that

[full night]

its the only luxury case i found besides the owlabs though…

[uneven cradle]

Bowls also designing another keyboard which is for HE that's suppose to be an in stock release

https://bowlkeyboards.com/pages/vella

But yeah most of the high end custom boards are run through GB

[cyan lark]

I was just checking and

[tropic urchin]

We just got the Wild West of retirements, when the money runs out you die type shiii

[uneven cradle]

Also that unassuming TKL picture I linked above a bit sells for over $3000 USD in the second hand market

[calm pulsar]

did you git commit to getting this set

[uneven cradle]

I did not mainly because nobody has split spacebar in stock

[chilly mural]

I still have no job

uhh, dk what to do lmao

[tropic urchin]

You’ll probably still feel that way 4 years from now

[full night]

this one?

ok so imma be honest i want to see smth iconic/innovative for this amount of money. no way you would even expect 500$ just looking at this.

[tropic urchin]

So just get a shiny silver metallic case and colorful GMK keycaps

[full night]

imma post my first build in abt 2 months ✌🏻.
alr excited whats coming after that though😂

[cyan lark]

Retirement?

[flat pine]

what typa magestical keyboard is this

[full night]

does anyone know if they would fit the 60v2 splitbar?

[cyan lark]

The split spacebar is from left to right a 2.75u, 1.25u, and a 2.25u key

[tropic urchin]

@trail bane @tawdry tree copper plate arrived

[trail bane]

Hype

Show me IT IMMEDIATELY

[tropic urchin]

That’s a fake site, but you’d need a spacebar kit which every GMK should come with as an option

[trail bane]

Wai what? But this is GMK site isn’t it?

[tropic urchin]

They sell clones

[uneven cradle]

That is a real site

GMK has their own storefront now

[tropic urchin]

Oh sick

[trail bane]

what da heck

[tropic urchin]

It looked like the same kind of store as gmkkeycaps.com/net that sells cloned GMK sets since there wasn’t an official GMK store for a while

[trail bane]

Anyways

I still didn’t receive any plate pics from you

Damn, so much typos today

[tropic urchin]

Soon.tm

[trail bane]

You should hurry, I am going to sleep in an hour or something

[tropic urchin]

The pings will continue until morale improves type shii

[trail bane]

I’ll try my best to lick it(via internet) asap

[tropic urchin]

🤨

Officer this comment over here

[trail bane]

Don’t blame me, blame copper gang

I just fell into their propaganda

[tropic urchin]

They didn’t include standoffs so now I’m going to have to scavenge off my current plates 😭

[trail bane]

Zamn clean

[trail bane]

Are your switch cutouts aligned evenly? I remember I had to trim some of them

[tropic urchin]

I swear you could hit someone with this and it could do real damage

[chilly mural]

Naisu

[trail bane]

Gn

[tropic urchin]

Not sure if I like it but it is ✨interesting✨

it does kinda make the DCF alot deeper with double poron build, will need to experiment with my other stuff but I do like how the alphas sound

space bar is kinda rough

but tape mod seemed to help smooth that over a bit more

[midnight rock]

Hello

[trail bane]

https://tenor.com/view/uhm-meeting2-hmm-meeting-hmm-pepe-pepe-meeting-gif-18064240235739253690

[midnight rock]

Would someone be kind enough to tell me the best way to lube stabs on a wooting 2he

[trail bane]

Indeed, I have same vibes but with ass big vibrations especially without Keebmat

[midnight rock]

I bought krytox a paintbrush and a syringe

Question is uh

HOW

[trail bane]

https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8

[midnight rock]

https://youtu.be/zbzT_6zzmWY?si=ZLR8W4SMMQXyRrxL

Is this an ok method

Also

I don't think i can take out the stabs off the 2he like this

@trail bane

Cuz its plate mounted

[trail bane]

Even easier

Just follow main instructions

[trail bane]

https://youtube.com/shorts/j_5i1VyFACc?si=Jyu4Nd9rpLn6gLP5

[uneven cradle]

Usually you'd use a thicker lube for those stabilizers

[midnight rock]

Well this is what i have

[little prairie]

is there soething wrong with stock stabs

[uneven cradle]

Well I guess slap it in and hope for the best, youll need a generous coating of 205g0

Nothing wrong sometimes they just need an extra bit of lube

[midnight rock]

2he needs love

My spacebar always sounded bad xD

[tawdry tree]

The blue light making it look majestic holy

[uneven cradle]

What region you in

Something like this maybe https://oblotzky.industries/products/epbt-3000sat

[tawdry tree]

Where in the world did you get your plate from to have to do that bro 😭

[uneven cradle]

Cheaper then that you're probably looking at AliExpress

Although I've heard fees to Europe can be high so I'm not sure

[trail bane]

Nah I’mean, in theory this is within QC, maybe y’all didn’t quite understand me, there were tiny less than a millimeter bumps that I easily filed off with a hand file
Answering to your question: keebox/keybox on Ali. The same place where Varedis ordered his plate

Nothing critical

[tawdry tree]

Ah ic, still sounds kinda annoying to have to do 🥴

[glass dragon]

These are some cheaper alternatives from good manufacturers

https://cannonkeys.com/products/nicepbt-cadet-sublegend-classic-beige?variant=41077148614767
https://kprepublic.com/products/domikey-vintage-cherry-profile-keycaps-abs-doubleshot?variant=41875674988707

Domikey or KPRepublic may be cheaper for the Vintage, depending on shipping

[uneven cradle]

Those are both way more expensive

[fallen pecan]

https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=996517142773 @gaunt plume ttc 035

[glass dragon]

Oh 😭 I didnt see the discount price…

NicePBT is still more expensive 😵‍💫

[tropic urchin]

@trail bane not going to lie, I just won OSG on day 1 of copper plate, might be BIS plate

[patent lion]

Wow
Pulling the switches out of my 60he+ module and my plastic switch puller broke

I really hate taking switches out of the wooting

[cyan lark]

I don't think it's the keyboard that's at fault, it's the switches and the puller

[thorn zealot]

for an easier time

take the plate off the pcb with the switches attached

and just push the switches out from the back

[tropic urchin]

yeah the wooting plastic one is not the best

[long tinsel]

can you take out the little gold bit at the side of the alumaze60 case? was going to buy it with the module of the 60he v2 but i dont like the look of the golden bit

[patent lion]

yeah the pins in the back just grip a bit too hard. definitely gonna push them from the back from now on, my mechanical boards are not this difficult lol

[patent lion]

i've had trouble with the lekker switches and the everglide sticky rice v2s

and every switch puller i have lol

[tropic urchin]

Best investment you can make is getting the Wuque Studio Titanium puller

[little glen]

Or the tx puller

Or the tx multitool

[tropic urchin]

Do anything but use that default plastic puller 😭

[little glen]

Real

I broke mine like 5 different ways

[patent lion]

thanks for the recommendations. won't be using plastic anymore

[cyan lark]

Lekkers are known to be brutal to pull, haven't tried pulling the sticky rice.

And yeah the others suggested a better puller which I agree w/

[thorn zealot]

i hate to say it but ups is far superior to usps

ups is delivering earlier again

usps 0 for 2

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-sir-gif-18835091

[thorn zealot]

i love u ups

[misty sapphire]

Geon raws broke my switch puller :/

Twice

[fluid ravine]

yeah they are hard to take out

You're welcome man

Aren't you gonna rest?

[glacial wind]

new image for the sharers to use when people ask about stabilizer options. It's already in #🪛│modding_faq channel as well if you need to re-download it/link it.

[paper bison]

i didnt think the yikb stabs would be recommended ngl, seen people complaining about them a lot

[little glen]

Where

I feel like those are the most commonly recommended alongside knight

[glacial wind]

that's surprising, who is complaining about them? They're up there as the most popular stabs in korea scene right now

[paper bison]

reddit (shock)

seen a couple people bitching about wires being bent on arrival

🧍🏻

[glacial wind]

oh yeah that barely matters

[paper bison]

people just refuse to wire balance idk

[glacial wind]

the design means even with bent wires you don't really get rattle from them

[paper bison]

i ordered some to try in my v2 instead of knights

[glacial wind]

you can still balance them of course but even with bent wires they perform great, so balancing isn't really even needed for them

[paper bison]

i ordered a 104 set bc i wasnt sure what wire size was needed for the 2 split spacebar keys

[fringe lake]

How many keys are there on the v2?

[paper bloom]

Hell nah

[paper bloom]

61

[sacred elm]

61-63 ANSI-Split
62-64 ISO-Split

[little glen]

Depends

[paper bison]

maybe a stupid question, but how many wires would you need on an ansi split? first time not getting an iso og

[cyan lark]

6 I believe. 1 more than og

[paper bison]

and the 2 split space bar stabs are just stock 2u?

[little glen]

Yep

[paper bison]

huge

thanks

[glacial wind]

yep, you bought the right kit i believe if you mean the bigger option typeplus stabs

[little glen]

I think my v2 will have mixed stabs

[glacial wind]

i have a set of the large typeplus kit sitting around somewhere as well

[little glen]

Cause the yikb set doesnt quite fit

So i‘ll have to add one knight v2

[glacial wind]

yeah that's what I had for awhile on one of my v2s

just mixed in knights with a stock stab, but no one could even tell which was knight after lubing them all anyway

[little glen]

I could go and kit out my 80he with yikb as well and then i think i could get away with it

[paper bison]

i bought the full size kit bc i wasn't sure, should be alright hopefully

[glacial wind]

yeah full size kit is right, it comes with 7 2U stab wires iirc so you're good

[paper bison]

okay huge

gonna see how they compare to the stock stabs first

still got a couple 205g0 pens

i bought the full size kit of stabs, a holy 60 and the spacebar kit for my crosshair keycaps from kbdfans like a week ago

comes with a 2.25u and 2.75u

[tropic urchin]

I do actually quite like it now with polyfill

It has beaten out alu for my metal plate and is close to dethroning CF plate but those 2 are my favorites now

[trail bane]

Noice

[tropic urchin]

My keyboard now is immovable 😂

[trail bane]

Add cerakey

[chilly mural]

Add water

[tropic urchin]

Never

[cyan lark]

Add gemstones

[quasi hinge]

Add an isotope of element 115

[unique surge]

smear acetone all over it

[tropic urchin]

Now I’m just being trolled

[harsh bear]

Does anyone have experience with diykeycap? It says the caps are PBT too

[tall hollow]

oh? what keyboard?

[little glen]

split 60he v2

p sure the yikb doesnt have enough 2u wires

[glacial wind]

none of the sets have enough wires basically unless they offer a full size keyboard kit

so for split you buy 2x kits or find a full size kit if it's offered, but i think i've only seen yikb offer a full size kit

[little glen]

i already have some stab sets

so ill grab a few i have laying around

[analog mulch]

hey guys which are the better cases for a muted sound? i liked the holy 60 looks but i dont know if its muted

[paper bloom]

Nah they dont

[glacial wind]

plastic cases tend to have a more muted tone. If you want holy60 you'll want to combine it with the plastic bottom cover and fully friction fit it to make it closer to a plastic sound

[paper bloom]

its only like 3 sets of 2u

[glacial wind]

it depends on the kit. if you buy the full kit it has 7 2u wires

[paper bloom]

I mean yea but the typleus has 3 sets of 2u

[glacial wind]

no i mean it literally has an option to buy a kit with 7 2u wires

[paper bloom]

WTF

Where

[glacial wind]

only some vendors stock it but it's called the full keyboard kit

[paper bloom]

hm odd

[glacial wind]

This is my full kit for example

7 2u wires

[paper bloom]

O thats literally new

cuz im checking my local theyre selling the basic set not the full kit ok

as u said so thats p cool

[glacial wind]

well not new, just that not everyone sells or stocks the full kit

[paper bloom]

O well 🗿

[glacial wind]

since usually no one needs it except rare full size keyboard buyers, although that might change now with split

[paper bloom]

Ig so

i alrdy got my v4 for my holy60 build

Either way doesnt benefit me since im not using split

[glacial wind]

Shipping from Canada be rough

Shipping was the price of the entire keyboard shelf

[paper bison]

to where? no dox

[glacial wind]

Korea

They do make the nicest keyboard shelves though

[tropic urchin]

[glass dragon]

You should look at alice sets, which only include 2u wires (Owlabs has one on amazon), but Staebies in the regular kitting includes an extra 2u wire.

[glacial wind]

I just buy the yikb full sets here thankfully it’s not hard to get them in Korea

I’ve never liked staebies personally, too tight

[humble mountain]

Hey,
I'm wondering which premium switches I could put on the V2? Do you have any particular recommendations?

I keep hearing about the Gaetron Jade Pro or Max.

Thanks in advance

[chilly mural]

Default switch like Lekker Tikken should do, if you want more stability you can go for Deep Clack Flux.

[sacred elm]

[humble mountain]

Thanks

[humble mountain]

Thanks!

[misty sapphire]

that box is so fancy, what are those

[humble mountain]

anyone ever tried those one?

https://www.gravastar.com/products/gravastar-ufo-magnetic-switch-hall-effect-gaming-switches

[glacial wind]

yikb x typeplus stabs

[misty sapphire]

thanks!

To be honest i dont really know the benefits of different stabs

[glacial wind]

they're sending me some so I'll upload a soundtest to our database once it's here

[stoic ocean]

https://youtu.be/vE-QpR_Dps4?si=kLvT54-g0Xt9OvHG

[misty sapphire]

ufo is a fitting name lol

[glacial wind]

i really dislike those soundtests, take them with a big grain of salt

[stoic ocean]

Tbh i love them

[humble mountain]

i found that

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xcmDW1IcaI8

[glacial wind]

they're extremely inaccurate is the problem

[stoic ocean]

Look the video i send

[glacial wind]

heavy proximity effect and whatever technique they use to record switches hides chatter

[stoic ocean]

Really ?

[glacial wind]

yeah, almost none of his soundtests sound like the actual switch

[misty sapphire]

idk why but this videos audio is so sharp it hurts my ears on my headphones

😭

[stoic ocean]

i will buy them and if i dont like i ask for a refund

[glacial wind]

lol

[humble mountain]

damn

[robust siren]

it looks like a 60he/he+ prebuilt and most likely on a steel plate

[glacial wind]

that's kind of lame honestly

[humble mountain]

the sounds looked very great ahahah and a lot of people on internet said they are good for "gaming"

i was oh ok

[robust siren]

$2/switch and no where else to get them if youre the US

[misty sapphire]

and some fucky audio mixing

[misty sapphire]

are there bad he switches for gaming?

[glacial wind]

people who abuse return policies are the reason they get changed and people can't have nice things

[robust siren]

oh wait theyre on sale

[glacial wind]

yeah they're quite reasonably priced on their official site right now

[robust siren]

shippings $10 which is ok ig

[glacial wind]

still not a cheap switch, but quite a lot cheaper than the aliexpress $2 pricing

[robust siren]

its roughly what i paid for fluxes actually

[chilly mural]

man on sale already? That's quite quick

[stoic ocean]

On ali for 70 is like 130€

but official site is 7-80€

[chilly mural]

Not a bad price, just only $0.1/each compared to TTC

[glacial wind]

there's a lot of new switches coming, unless you absolutely need a specific switch i'd probably wait a bit and see what switch you like best out of the upcoming ones

[misty sapphire]

from the ones ive tried the fluxes deep thocky are my absolute favorites. but i still gotta try the tikkens

[glacial wind]

no harm waiting for some reviews etc when there's what like 4 upcoming switches from gateron and ttc and new flux variants on top of these ufo switches

[chilly mural]

Can't wait for the raeds clone

Though Tecsee is already pretty good having S S+

[glacial wind]

oh right i need to add those to my list to order as well, although i suppose they'll just be like tecsee ones again

[robust siren]

new fluxes?

[glacial wind]

just new variants of materials

nothing too crazy

[chilly mural]

appreciate it

[humble mountain]

sth like that?

https://shop.wuquestudio.com/products/ws-flux-switch?variant=47304847261866

[misty sapphire]

these are the normal ones, theres a "deep clacky" variant with a pink base i like alot!

[humble mountain]

why a lot of people are watching for under 4mm travel?

do you have a sound test smwhere?

[robust siren]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1436013386855874631

[misty sapphire]

i dont have one but im sure you can find one in the DB

[analog mulch]

guys is tape mod from kdbfans worth it on holy 60?

[robust siren]

im using fluxes

[ionic breach]

its tape

[misty sapphire]

same

[misty sapphire]

swapped my whole 80he to it after buying 10 to try

[ionic breach]

its like a few cents probably

its also just preference

[robust siren]

gave some of mine away and they ended up buying a full set

[ionic breach]

but if your talking about the custom picture tape mod that they have

[misty sapphire]

i now have like a bunch of geon raws with no use tho

[robust siren]

just use normal painters tape

[ionic breach]

yea why not print smt cool

[robust siren]

same

[misty sapphire]

maybe if i buy a 60he v2 for the splitbar ( pray for a 80he with a split bar)

[robust siren]

im selling my 60he+ to a friend but he didnt want raws

and also selling a bunch of other mods

[ionic breach]

oo nice

[robust siren]

gt60 split spacebar

[humble mountain]

damn he have everylink

[robust siren]

just pick out whatevers cheapest

some have shipping fees, others dont

just make sure you double check that

[misty sapphire]

i really like the stock 80he case with the way the sides flow. idk why it tickles my brain in the right way. so if they ever do a split 80 / 80v2 i hope it will fit in the same case but i know the chances are slim

[robust siren]

i doubt theyll change much other than just adding that split spacebar, at most, probably plates

60he+ was tray mount and thats why they had to do the whole redesign thing to make it compatable with friction fit

oh maybe theyll change how the daughterboard connects to the pcb or smth

[misty sapphire]

im a big fan of macros / extra buttons. im the dude with 12 sidebuttons on his mouse with 12 macros for stupid crap. ( i love modtap). id kill for a split spacebar, my thumb is underutilized when gaming

[glacial wind]

it annoys me that i can't use my 80he because i'm used to split now

[misty sapphire]

that bad once you get used to it huh? 😭

i cant justify a 60he v2 when i got a 80he ive put so much money into already

[glacial wind]

it's just too convenient for my games

and any typing issues corrected themselves really fast. It was 90% adjust in the first day or two, then by 2 weeks in fully adjusted and no more mispresses

[misty sapphire]

i want it so badly man. the things id do for a 80he split. but hey the future is full of posibilities

[robust siren]

man these astrals

[humble mountain]

are you using those switches to?

[glacial wind]

i've been loading up valorant to test the new accuracy + 0.1rt updates and it's been fun

[robust siren]

yeah

[chilly mural]

stop edging

[misty sapphire]

did val change stuff? Havent played it since battlefield 6s launch i got burned out but id like my immortal back

[glacial wind]

just new champions and map tweaks as usual

[robust siren]

val changed every guns' spread

[glacial wind]

oh and minor accuracy updates with gun yeah

[misty sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/cry-gif-23674110

[glacial wind]

made half spray more accurate basically, which is nice if you sometimes half spray

[misty sapphire]

oh thats good

means spray transfering is less rng based

[glacial wind]

basically that weird randomiser that happens with spray doesn't kick in until a tad later

[misty sapphire]

interesting they decided to tweak that

with their "precise gunplay" motto. but im happy theres a bit more bursting vs the 1/2bullet tap meta

[glacial wind]

well you still can't full spray but it's really helpful especially for people who already did half spray stuff

[humble mountain]

45euros for 80 switches is a good price for those switches?

https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005010195147759.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2fra

its the cheaper

[robust siren]

sold by PPG store

[glacial wind]

like for me i always 1 tap > 2 shot burst > then half spray as my rough gun pattern so it's been real nice

[robust siren]

yeah thats a fine place to buy it from

[misty sapphire]

yeah, plus like i said spray transfering is more reliable. which is the way it should be. if im shooting at someone and quickly flick to another person it shouldnt require me to wait for a recoil reset giving the enemy a chance to tap me

[misty sapphire]

id always 1 tap or 2 shot burst. if i missed the first tap i was prob dead anyways in mid immo

[robust siren]

dont even have time to fight back in gold, swing and die
man what a hellhole to get stuck in and took forever to get out of

[glacial wind]

gotta jiggle in between

[misty sapphire]

i uhhh. boosted alot of golds when i was good. its been a hellhole since ep7 ish. but trust me plat isnt better the ego in there is so bad. and asc is rlly rlly bad to.

[glacial wind]

and sometimes do a little weird strafe pattern gets you a lot of extra time like left > left > right or something weird like that throws people off

since everyone does left > right > left normally

[robust siren]

last i played i got back to d2 and i just couldnt bare playing valorant with randoms anymore

[misty sapphire]

100%. also just a quick tap while waiting on the recoil fucks people up. many people arent that good with micro adjusts

[misty sapphire]

yeah solo is rough. i basically would duo to immo 1/2 every act since ep7 and stop playing comp and chill in other gamemodes with friends. the community is uhh. not that fun

[glacial wind]

honestly there should be a bonus rank decoration if you solo queue to your rank

[robust siren]

bronze got more people in comms than anything above gold

[misty sapphire]

high immo has awesome comms. but the second you get ascs / low immos its a ego fest and a cry fest

[humble mountain]

ok ok thanks i will see if i buy those one i still have a bit of time before the v2 is comming to my house lol

January for France

But yeah they are looking good and good sounds i will probably go for them

[robust siren]

apparently gold-dia (from my experience) were all mutes like, no ones talking

[silver lantern]

Part 1 is here silent switch huano & Tecsee done

[humble mountain]

the others box is the pom switches?

[misty sapphire]

golds (real golds) tend to have more talking then the ranks above. immo some lobbies theres 0 words besides comms. if you do talk some poeple have a freakout

[robust siren]

and everyone opens their mic when the game ends, especially if its a loss

[misty sapphire]

i mostly played on bronze / gold accounts while messing about not trying at all just because the ppl are more fun

[misty sapphire]

then the slurs begin 😄

[robust siren]

what really infuriates me is when im hovering over an agnet and someone just locks it in with no warning and then proceed to go 3/20

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-meme-cat-stare-cat-shocked-stare-gif-1398922735574533156

[misty sapphire]

fair, if someone goes hey can i go X agent and im hovering 99% id say yeah idc

but they just yoink it

[timber crystal]

Is the PC switch plate compatible with 60he v2?

[ionic breach]

[chilly mural]

My pick would be just black and white. But the option before (blue and white) is nice also.

[ionic breach]

yup commented the same

hilarious situation tho

[timber crystal]

oh so i have to return it

ty for info

[tall hollow]

Soju~

[paper bloom]

How do u find the wobble

For the switches

[robust siren]

theyre amazing, if youre coming from smth like lekkers v2 or geon raws (what i have for comparison)

[paper bloom]

U got the raptor v2s to compare or na

[robust siren]

i dont

[paper bloom]

Shitttt

Looks like im either going in blind for the wuque for the 60v2 build

Idek atp

[modest kestrel]

sorry if im the 100th person to ask how much did u pay for the ws fluxes and are they just like no other? thinking about buying them

[paper bloom]

Theyre like 100+ depending on where u get them

[robust siren]

paid $75/70pc but you can find it for like $63/70pc

[cyan lark]

Ali Express is the cheapest place to find them

[robust siren]

theyre only 100+ if you buy from official website

[modest kestrel]

hey thanks!!! appreciate the links

[paper bloom]

Nah my currency is an 100

doesnt matter

90 pack is like 126

70 orig price is 126 take in discount is 98

[sacred elm]

Better bottom wobble, worse top wobble

[paper bloom]

🗿

[paper bloom]

Thanks

[feral grail]

for the stabilizers infographic in the faq, why no stabies or tx ap? stabies I understand cus it has tight tolerances, but does tx ap have issues on wooting?

[glacial wind]

tx ap isn't bad, but it has some sizing issues with 60he+ plate and most people prefer the newer gen of knight/typeplus over tx ap

nothing wrong with them though, just that if most people had to pick nowadays they'd grab some knights over tx ap

[untold wigeon]

how are these compared to the ttc kom magnetos?

[glacial wind]

both kom magneto and flux deep clack are in the database: https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

so you can decide for yourself. Stability rough ratings are included

[sacred elm]

https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

[glacial wind]

oops lol

[untold wigeon]

hmm so i guess its not really an upgrade or downgrade its just preference

[sacred elm]

I think Flux has better bottom wobble, also cleaner and more pleasant sound, without weird muted top out

[untold wigeon]

i have the ttc magnetos rn but i saw these flux's at a good price

[sacred elm]

G Flux
H POM

[glacial wind]

there's sound tests so you can hear and see

decide for yourself what sound you prefer

[tropic urchin]

If you want Jade pro esque sound with maintaining POM stability then DCF is the pick thats the real main difference between the two is if you wanna maintain current stability while getting better sound

[glacial wind]

keep in mind there's another 4-5 flagship tier switches coming out soon too, so if you're just upgrading out of wanting to try new stuff i'd wait

[tropic urchin]

4-5 wow

[untold wigeon]

ah ok ok

[glacial wind]

it would suck if you buy new switches now and one of the new ones is something you prefer more

[untold wigeon]

tbh im really happy with my ttc kom magnetos

[tropic urchin]

we shall see if theres any S/S Marbly clack contenders

[chilly mural]

raeds v2!!!!

[tropic urchin]

you and I will both die before the day I purchase raeds

Ive done a Mitt Romney flip flop a time or two, but I will never change my mind on silent switches

or whatever true thock is

[chilly mural]

It's alright, I'll get the whatever switch flavor of first half 2026

and tecsee/raeds v2

[uneven cradle]

Just let me know which ones are the best so I can buy them

[glacial wind]

you have to save for new sony camera first though, announcing dec 2nd

[chilly mural]

enough time to buy and taking pic of your special 60hev2 build

[uneven cradle]

My bank account can't afford that, maybe if I get this new job I applied for

[tall hollow]

new alpha 7 camera!?

[tropic urchin]

@sacred elm its going to take a switch having 45g long spring + S/S stability with Marbly SP and Tikkens poppiness to get me off these switches

[glacial wind]

it's a7v yeah

[tropic urchin]

[tall hollow]

nice, if they also announce the A7rVI I will probably get it

[chilly mural]

hmm, this sounds too good for me to not try.

[glacial wind]

i hope new sensor is great then i'll buy the fx3 ii with the new sensor next year

[chilly mural]

just hope it's not $2 a switch

[fluid ravine]

Me over here selling fluxes again just cus

[tropic urchin]

shut up you mediocre Opportunist

[fluid ravine]

[sacred elm]

Yes sell them and buy deep clacky Fluxies

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/shut-your-mouth-you-mediocre-clarinet-player-gif-22975439

[fluid ravine]

[chilly mural]

+support

been loving the DCF

[tropic urchin]

now you see why I shill the Astral sound profile and DCF for a nice marbly experience

[chilly mural]

But unlike IEM, I can always hear its goodness with my open back hd490 pro

[tropic urchin]

If you get stiff/loud enough plates you still can

It took me abandoning double poron and going polyfill only with CU plate and its been a very quick favorite for me; aside from a weird experience with the double poron.

[chilly mural]

Hmm, don't really have interest in changing the plate on 80he, it has been perfect the way it is (other than the stabs).

[fluid ravine]

Skill issooo
Gotta feel the sound and sound the feel

[native wharf]

hey btw im thinking about this now while not drunk and im pretty sure this is wrong and it should be the other way around lol
like before i was using 0.8 on a 4.0 switch, that's 20%
now i'm on a 3.5 switch so 0.8 is actually MORE than 20% here, so considering wootility still shows 4.0 visually but behind the scenes it's using % i should use something higher than 0.8
i want 0.8 out of 3.5 which is 22.85% so i should set the little bar to 22.85% of 4.0 which is ~0.9

[sacred elm]

oh too good you won't need to do math very soon

[tropic urchin]

After trying copper on 80HE maybe I will order a geon copper plate for benom since alu too pingy

[tropic urchin]

alr bud

[tall hollow]

copper!? ohno

[fluid ravine]

Gotta get that PP doe (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

[tropic urchin]

PP too soft

[fluid ravine]

U rite u rite

[tall hollow]

uvu

but yeah Polypropylene is too flexible

thats the same plastic that is used to make gallon milk jugs for reference

although I think most are made of HDPE now rather than PP

[distant raven]

.8 / 4 = x / 3.5
Solve for x.
you just had your numbers wrong last time 😄

[native wharf]

no that's what i mean, that formula leads to 0.7, but that's the wrong value

it should be the other way around

like

before i was using 0.8 on 4.0, now i want to use 0.8 again on 3.5 and i want to see what value to put into wootility which still shows 4.0 as the max even though it's 3.5

so it's x / 4 = 0.8 / 3.5

which is 0.9 or somehting

[sacred elm]

yes, it should be higher value. with 3.5mm switches, each step is 0.0875mm

0.8 / 0.0875 = 9.1
9.1 * 0.1 = 0.91

[trail bane]

I brainwashed him!! That’s my copper unc

[vital crown]

ordered my switches

got 60 of em

but my keyboard got 61-62

but im not putting them on my FN and right control key

since i dont use those

[reef oar]

never using fn is impossible

[tawdry tree]

ppl on the spectrum punching the air rn (me)

[cyan lark]

Now I know your weakness

[vital crown]

i deadass never use it

i only pl;ay tac

[cyan lark]

Dare I ask what tac is?

[vital crown]

tacfps

valo, csgo and such

[cyan lark]

Ah. Don't ever need arrow keys?

Or do you ModTap those?

[tawdry tree]

If you have a gaming profile that you can use for typing, it ain’t a gaming profile.

Same vise versa

I can’t without Fn.

[vital crown]

for whuat do u need to use fn

[cyan lark]

Gotta agree, my gaming profile is awful for typing. Which is why I cannot wait for the BG service and auto profile switching

[tawdry tree]

To switch profiles or to go to ur second layer.

[cyan lark]

Less awful using my typing profile for gaming, just a little less responsive

[tawdry tree]

For the F-Row for example

[vital crown]

F row.

[cyan lark]

There's just too many keys that have to live on a fn layer

Printscreen, grave/tilde, arrow keys, F-keys

[reef oar]

you never press f5?

[cyan lark]

^R

[cyan lark]

holy

[untold wigeon]

nothing crazy but ye wanted to have a silver setup

my last one was pink

[cyan lark]

Nice setup 📸

[untold wigeon]

thank u brehhh

[tropic urchin]

Now you just need like a silver Beastx pro/max 🔥

[untold wigeon]

sounds tempting haha but i love my gpx dex too much atm

[tropic urchin]

Fair

Worth trying for the setup aesthetic + clicks, imo still the best mouse clicks I’ve used to date

But I do fw the full metallic vibe

[stoic spear]

Guys what would be better in gaming the razer huntsman mini or the wooting 80 he wooting 60he+

[uneven cradle]

Wooting

(no bias )

[tawdry tree]

Even a budget HE board would be better than the huntsman 😭😭

I need opinions on plate materials. One material for alphas and another for mods, thoughts?

[cyan lark]

Wait you get all aspy about mixing switches but you wanna mix switch plate materials? 😵‍💫

CF and PP combo though

[tawdry tree]

I don’t mind mixing switches but if you’re one short, that’s criminal 😭

[cyan lark]

Fair

[tawdry tree]

cf mods (outside), pp alphas (inside)?

[paper bison]

[cyan lark]

Yessir

How would you even join those materials though?

[tawdry tree]

alr, will do

[tawdry tree]

don’t need to, there are three standoffs

there’s a 1mm gap all around so the two materials don’t touch/rub

that would cause some unwanted sound I think

plate cracks 💀

[cyan lark]

ahh gotcha

[robust siren]

https://tenor.com/view/monka-cat-scared-scared-cat-wide-eyes-gif-5319946494583553667

[cyan lark]

yeah for sure

honestly i haven't even tried pp, i was just throwing stuff out there

[tawdry tree]

that’s fine bro, I don’t expect this to sound good so being able to try different materials will give it the best shot at least

[tawdry tree]

suggestions, not cat gifs bro

(missed opportunity on "furgive")

[robust siren]

this would be a great idea for my kbdfans gt-60 case

[tidal frigate]

I don't think so you can do half plate

[robust siren]

since gt-60 uses little tabs on the plate to keep it from falling out if you flip it over

[tawdry tree]

untested idea (I haven’t seen this done on mech boards yet either but it might’ve), we’ll see if it turns out good.

[tawdry tree]

in theory it’s possible, but if it’ll sound good is the real question

[robust siren]

yeah 60he only has like what? 7 screws

[tawdry tree]

8

[robust siren]

oh yeah 8

[tawdry tree]

lemme check if it’s possible on the 60

[cyan lark]

I also wonder how much smaller modular plates by themselves affect the sound

[robust siren]

would it flex too much?

[cyan lark]

Like turning one bit drumskin into 2-3 smaller ones

[robust siren]

id image it would sound like a flexcut plate

[tidal frigate]

How is it possible if plate holds switches?

[cyan lark]

Yeah I'd think it would go higher pitch as well

[robust siren]

i only have flex cut fr4

im interested in wootings 60he v2 solid fr4 plate

[tawdry tree]

it’d be possible but using only two standoffs and they aren’t in the horizontal center of the alphas

def less optimal than the 80he

[robust siren]

itd wobble forwards and backwards 💀

[tawdry tree]

because the outside and inside plate are both screwed to the PCB using standoffs

[tawdry tree]

yeah, same for the 80 though but it might be fine

plastic might be too soft for the inside

[robust siren]

top standoff is right in the middle of the number and first alpha row

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[robust siren]

okay

hear me out

3 piece plate
