would these work on the v2 split and are they the same color as GMKs CR color (i am using gmk shanshui)?

the spacebars i mean

[uneven cradle]

they would yes and looks like the black are CR

@brave rapids

[brave rapids]

i somehow missed that ty

[ornate anchor]

Do the stock wooting module stabilizers come pre lubed can u just use them just how they are???

[calm pulsar]

they are prelubed and good in general, after using many 3rd party ones I think stock wooting stabs are perfectly fine

and you can always add some lube if needed

[ornate anchor]

Thankyou main I appreciate that

[analog pasture]

is there anything wrong with the regular ws fluxes

y does everybody talk about the dc ones

[sacred elm]

Nothing wrong, they're just super loud and most prefer DC Flux sound profile

[echo spire]

I ordered parts to make a custom 60he v2 and its my first custom kb. Does anyone know if the pcb already comes with stabilizers or will i have to buy them separately?

[sacred elm]

Module comes with the screw-in stabilizers

[echo spire]

Thank you thanks

[analog pasture]

are the raptors much better than fluxes stability wise bc i cant tell a difference soundwise lwk

[sacred elm]

Raptor v2s have better top wobble, but worse bottom wobble

[analog pasture]

which one matters more

all i know r my lekker v2s feel wobbly

[sacred elm]

For me bottom out stability matters more

[analog pasture]

so wait does bottom wobble only matter if you full bottom it out?

[calm pulsar]

what about thock

[sacred elm]

tohck

[fallen inlet]

Is there any good modding guides for the 80HE?

[paper bloom]

Depends on what you want to mod

[dawn zodiac]

So I just filled my tofu60 with cement and using lekker tikken switches and let me tell yall this shit sounds insane

[green thunder]

@uneven cradle check your DMs I need your help

[analog pasture]

r DCFs consistently under 75 cents a switch on aliexpress or is that only bc bfcm

[gusty lagoon]

[young viper]

Sound test?

[glacial wind]

oh they finally made a nice winter decoration pack

[uneven cradle]

@glacial wind now the question is do I save up more money and buy the a7 V

[glacial wind]

a7v does look crazy good for hybrid camera

i don't see anything missing for average person. Like it does everything well except maybe not being as good rolling shutter as a dedicated video focused camera, but it's plenty good enough for 9/10 video uses

and there's the 120fps crop, but no hybrid camera ever does 120 fps no crop anyway

[uneven cradle]

From the reviews I've seen it's just the lack of open gate and kind of mid body design and EVF

[glacial wind]

yeah no open gate is a bummer, although honestly open gate is a bit overrated. You just film from further away if you want to get same result as open gate

then you zoom in during post and same effect as open gate

i assume they're saving open gate for dedicated higher end cameras next year, like fx3 ii

[uneven cradle]

Yeah I'm primarily looking at it for photography with some video stuff

And that partially stacked sensor looks crazy and the pre capture too

[glacial wind]

it used to be a7c ii was the ideal do everything camera but this one is just improved a7c ii with a bigger body

no more 60 fps crop

[echo spire]

I'm tryna look for keycaps for the split spacebar and i was wondering if there was a specific name to look up or just "split spacebar keycaps"

[uneven cradle]

Pretty much no rolling shutter on electronic

[glacial wind]

it gets me excited for the fx3 ii next year though

since it means fx3 ii is probably video focused version of this sensor, it's going to be crazy good

[glacial wind]

usually it's called spacebar kit for most sets

some sets just include them with the base kit already though, so you have to look at the kit and see

[echo spire]

got it. thx

[tawdry tree]

https://youtu.be/FSk1TKQdxho

[glacial wind]

someone in here is definitely toronto keyboard man, i actually wonder who

[old glen]

does anyone have some recommendation for keycaps?

[austere creek]

depends on how nice of a job you wanna do. i needed like 2 hours or smth last time with all the disassembling, cleaning, lubing by hand, assembling

[thorny lake]

gj I actually need 4-6 hours depending how perfekt I wanna do it

[ebon quiver]

[fringe quarry]

same evf as the a7 iv

[frigid knoll]

anyone know if TX stabs will work on the 60he v2?

ik it says full screw in compatibility, but im not tryna waste money lmao

[lime yew]

oh actual video on the strap. Just lame the LED strap actually has to be connected to their PCB

[frigid knoll]

anyone got a sound test for geon raptor v2?

[glacial wind]

They do

There’s a sound test in our sound tests switch database, check faq channel

[marsh saffron]

purple xray

🔥

[fallen pecan]

unionwell x titan nation lunar rock switch

magger switch for the upcoming luminkey 75v2 HE

[solar tundra]

oh yeah

just preordered the split mf

[copper breach]

what swicthes should i get for my wooting 80he, i mostly care about low actuatuin force and a light feeling

[sacred elm]

https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

[tropic urchin]

Raptor v2/TTC POM (45g long spring switches) or MMD C1 (very light)

[crude aurora]

Would yall say a holy60 or a tofu redux is better for the v2 module? The tofu redux I have is the fully brass version but im lowkey thinking of canceling it. I’m using jade pros for the switch .

[hazy night]

depends on preference I suppose. best you can do is find comparable builds online and see (hear) what sound you like

[little prairie]

why c1

[tropic urchin]

Look at their spring weight

They’re quite literally the lightest stock switch

[cedar gate]

The sound will be a bit different but the choice is 90% aesthetic preferance in the end

a tofu case will be simplistic but feel premium and a holy would be abstract and unique

IMO tofu sounds fuller

[crude aurora]

Thanks for the input!

[hazy night]

you might wanna look into a friction pad as well if you want to use a tofu, the tofu sounds better if you don't tray mount it

i use the very first tofu so im not sure if they made any changes to the new ones not being a tray mount

but iirc the module doesn't come with a friction pad it does

[sacred elm]

it does

[hazy night]

ah thanks for correcting :)

[sacred elm]

You can use the friction mount in Tofu/Holy, but it's recommended to install one of the screws to ground the module

[crude aurora]

Yeah I saw that, all my other boards are gasket mounted so this will be interesting

[frigid knoll]

surprised theres no astrolink sound test

[sacred elm]

Raptor v2 is astrolink recolor

Sound test is there

[frigid knoll]

i saw a comparison and i sweat astrolink was way clackier

https://youtu.be/2ROxgRILRWA?si=5ca3lZ5mW5GsbqXO

1:42

[robust siren]

friction mounting wont nearly be as bouncy as gasket but it isolates vibration from the module to the case

[crude aurora]

Ah I see makes sense, hopefully that one screw for grounding doesn’t make it feel too weird

[sacred elm]

You're comparing sound tests with different setups

Different mic, different keyboard build

[robust siren]

it shouldn’t as it doesnt really move much at all once friction mounted

[frigid knoll]

nono, the guy i saw did a single key test and the raptors sounded way diff

just cant find the vid again cuz it was a korean live stream💀

[robust siren]

i had my 60he+ friction mounted in the case and now using the gt-60 with a gasket system

[little glen]

single key test

[frigid knoll]

💀

[robust siren]

even though the shipping and fees made the gt-60 double the price of tofu id pick that over tofu any day

[little glen]

tofu is lameeee

[robust siren]

its simple but it being tray mount only if you dont have friction is kinda eh

[peak breach]

Nah raptor got that dino in him

[sacred elm]

ok

[glacial wind]

they be same. I'm holding one of each in my hand right now

[frigid knoll]

lmao

[frigid knoll]

damn bruh kms i coulda ordered those with my keycaps to avoid shipping costs

[little glen]

doesnt look like you took it with your sony lens

[glacial wind]

Naw just quick phone

[sacred elm]

Not even using the optimum case

I see you

[peak breach]

Yeah one of those clearly cooler

[glacial wind]

Don’t worry the optimum is to the right

[little glen]

is there a sony lens adapter for phone

would probably look goofy af

[glacial wind]

See it’s just on other side

[little glen]

that osume stand looks so nice

[peak breach]

Gmk dualshot would look rly nice with the raw case

[uneven cradle]

Damn that's gonna be me soon

[little glen]

what other cases have you tried so far

[uneven cradle]

Had that for a bit still need to pick up the accents though

[peak breach]

U dont got the accent set?

[uneven cradle]

Na it's out of stock everywhere

[little glen]

if we combine what we have we can have a full set with accents

[glacial wind]

not too many, i'm mostly focusing on getting the new ttc and gateron switches tested this month and will probably be helping with figuring out a more detailed script for the TMR video

[uneven cradle]

Omni should be doing another run of dual shot next year sometime (I asked )

[little glen]

i'd love to buy some but i told myself i am done buying keycaps for now unless something purple shows up that i love

[uneven cradle]

Hey I know someone else who said that and they ended up buying a bunch of sets this year 👀

[glacial wind]

UFO switches should be here soon too, they're in korea but no idea when the local company will finally delivery it

[little glen]

that person is the reason i have gmk sloth now

i would have bought gmk dragon witch if it wasnt out of stock everywhere

[uneven cradle]

Promoting consooming

[humble surge]

Mine arrived, but just had no time yet to test

[peak breach]

Ngl im eying that set with katakanas, but yeah looks like the accents are out of stock, and im out of keyboards to put that set on 😂

[peak breach]

Smh no japanese sublegends

[cyan lark]

I don’t speak nor read Japanese 😣

[peak breach]

Just like 90% of the people that buy sublegends

[robust siren]

here

[cyan lark]

I just ain't a Faker I guess 😏

[silk hound]

Omg faker

[uneven cradle]

I'll probably get a hangul set before a katakana set

[silk hound]

I built

Its a little janky but it works

[silk hound]

Theres anime on the pcb

[young viper]

so.. I like my gravastar ufos, but my fingers like them springs a little less heavy (or hard?)

will use them in my optimum build

[scarlet rock]

does the 60hev2 module comes with the cable?

[trail bane]

Extra 0 to the total number of zeros in the value of RT

[sacred elm]

yes

[scarlet rock]

thx

[stuck yarrow]

holy gooner

[scarlet rock]

is there a black version of the PBTfans x rays or atomic purple?

[uneven cradle]

There is not

[scarlet rock]

back to pulling my hair out finding keycaps and switches for the v2

[tropic urchin]

Switches are easy, keycaps are the real struggle for taste depending on layout

[scarlet rock]

looking for something that has the slpit spacebar and goes well with black and gold

[tropic urchin]

GMK Black and Gold + Space Bar kit

That would be the ultimate set imo

[uneven cradle]

KAP Midas

[scarlet rock]

too broke for GMK

[scarlet rock]

this would work

[static aurora]

Why not just get PBTfans WOB?

[scarlet rock]

too basic

this the case im getting for the v2

its a whole keyboard itself but im just harvesting the case from it

the GMK black and gold would look good on it with the novelties by $$$$

[tropic urchin]

Casino royale novelties go hard af

[scarlet rock]

time to find knockoff GMK

[young viper]

Pretty nice cable, I actually really like the clear on the type c to USB connector lol

[peak breach]

Does it fit the v2?

[scarlet rock]

itll fit a 60%

i guess ill find out when both of them comes in

[peak breach]

Yeah cause that picture doesnt look like a regular 60 with the arrow keys

[little glen]

is the usb port in the right spot

[scarlet rock]

its just the pcb with a 1u right shift

[scarlet rock]

lol all i know its on the left side

im afraid to ask if itll fit a wooting in their discord

they got like a heavy anti wooting person shutting down all wooting question there

[vernal dock]

Lol why 😭

[scarlet rock]

that person must really hate wooting, and hes just some random guy

[vernal dock]

I think is just envy

Theres no reason to do that

[scarlet rock]

[uneven cradle]

Plenty of discords with people like that unfortunately

[thorn yew]

Guys

Just Confirmed my order for the wooting let's gooooooo

Finally

[fluid ravine]

Whats the case

[scarlet rock]

[fluid ravine]

Is there a blue print or pictures of the case itself?

[scarlet rock]

https://www.wlmouse.com/products/huan63?srsltid=AfmBOoozgEteuQjUCrJhty73HaPNjrQx4JpasH4ywnBBOGn8iOVB4xhP

[fluid ravine]

Already checked
Doesnt show any like case internal or pictures

And depending on the mourning structure, we can also determine if the 60he is compatible or not

Most likely not compatible

[scarlet rock]

No worries, ill update when I get it in the mail in a few days and see if the v1 fits or not

The v1 friction mount silicone should be the same as the v2 right?

[robust siren]

yes, just has the alphas cut for foam

[scarlet rock]

Yea so we'll see

[scarlet rock]

yea

Shoutout to Cam🥀

[neon nexus]

how does that even happen

[little glen]

Probably if you wiggle and pull them out sideways

[neon nexus]

could be yeah

[glacial wind]

I think it depends on puller too

Seems he was using an auto puller that is rougher on pulling switches

[proven wadi]

I took my Wuque studio Flux Deep Clacky out from my wooting 80he and put them in my sons he60 it was no problem at all

[neon nexus]

yeah I use that one too

Gooner 60he

[cloud crane]

https://youtu.be/qCDxEoeCb7Q?t=1h57m9s
Actually sounds nice without foam

[glacial wind]

i saw leggera tkl on the store, not bad looking

although has same issue i had with previous frog in that I don't like the split seam across entire case

[misty sapphire]

i checked today how much i spend on keyboard crap since ive gotten into this today. on like boards/cases/switches/tools and the stuff... yikes its alot more then i thought

[paper bloom]

I spent close to 600

Eventually i gotta build another 80HE For like 500 dollars

[sour flint]

is it possible to put the 60HE v2 Module in the Alumaze60 without screws? only with the rubberthingy like in the stock case?

[paper bloom]

Yes

[sour flint]

nice, thanks!

[paper bloom]

Thats call friction mounting

Shld b do able

[misty sapphire]

me switching from a black to a white case (warrenty swap) added another 110 from keycaps

[misty sapphire]

€728.15 with everything i tried / used on my 80he including its current set of caps

[paper bloom]

Sheesh 800 in my currency

[uneven cradle]

It's recommended to screw in at least 1 though because it's not grounded otherwise, which is why the store warns you when you have them together

[sour flint]

thanks. u think the soundprofile is different to the v2 stock case then?

[misty sapphire]

0 regrets lol. plus it was fun learning a bunch of stuff

[uneven cradle]

I haven't used either but I'd think they would sound pretty similar just an aesthetic difference for the most part

[chilly mural]

The 0.0005mm, soon 0.0001mm

[forest pebble]

Alr back to work i gooooo

[paper bloom]

Eh im used to it either way i now gotta just focus on using my 60HE once built and ima need to sell off my VENOMHE built with jades

[misty sapphire]

i could never sell my baby

[paper bloom]

WELP i would since the 60HE does it justice and the warrenty on the PCB of the VENOMHE is alrdy over so nothing new

$240 ish. Very cool

[fallen pecan]

for the green, $110 of it are the switches

[little glen]

crazy how quick all the gaming keyboard brands started coming out with a split spacebar as soon as wooting did it

[chilly mural]

copied from the best

[glossy pagoda]

Copied from the best, in the worst way imaginable

What are those keycap sizes even...

[chilly mural]

2.25 1.75 2.25

so that it can do 6.25 still

[stoic ocean]

🥀

[ebon quiver]

keycap sizes look all over the place, but the left alt being shifted to the right is interesting (as someone who uses the left alt a lot)

[left depot]

gateron posting that ai fluffy keyboard slop was kinda cringe

[trail bane]

Damn

[trail bane]

Chinese wkl?

Yeah it definitely looks like it

Centred 6.25u spacebar

[lime yew]

Unfortunately they chose a layout where you will miss press the middle button a lot of times. Not optimized for gaming, not optimized for typing

[little glen]

Yeah it looks bad

[tropic urchin]

Nice for color, bonus if you like milk

[delicate fiber]

One question, are those extra keycaps sets you can order with wooting, the same shape and height as the ansi one that come stock? Asking because I would only change a couple of the keycaps. Should look the same, right?

[left depot]

cute!

[forest pebble]

Hey guys will you be able to friction fit the v2 into the owlab case? (I didn’t get the split spacebar btw)

[sacred elm]

Yes

[lime yew]

Regular spacebar you can just use the Owlab included CF plate and friction band yeah.

[forest pebble]

Thaaaanks :)

[ebon quiver]

anyone used a board like that with 2u left shift? alphas being shifted seems weird

[forest pebble]

Now i just gotta decide what colour i want…

[forest pebble]

Also just wanna ask if the piece the strap clips to is removable/ changeable

I love this case but the price is wild

Can’t be that good

[vapid nebula]

looks perfect for me, I don't have to stick thumb far out wasd to pick middle button and it's not comfortable position

[kindred coral]

I'm new to modding, is there any recommendations for what case I should get for my 60he? I've seen the tofu60 redux and holy60 and was wondering if there are pros and cons comparing a full enclosed case compared to one that has a bunch of openings even though they're both aluminum. Obviously there's the difference in mass so I'd assume something like the tofu is "better" for sound.

[peak breach]

Yeah, tho with he switches there isn’t much of a difference

[tawdry tree]

60% sparklink with db, they’re so fucking close man 😭

[tawdry tree]

https://tenor.com/view/ace-attorney-phoenix-wright-objection-capcom-gif-20965907

[tawdry tree]

They use HM’s split bro 😭. Although the whole spacebar is offset because of the weird bottom row layout, the split is better ergonomically. It’d be more comfortable to press a 1.75U key as space, than a 1.25U one (for the people that press space dead center).

Has the benefit of being optional too, of course. So no need to commit to a certain layout and having to go through the hassle of sending it back if you don’t end up liking it.

[tawdry tree]

What would this even be called? ..KL?

[tropic urchin]

It’s the new equidistant nipple layout design obv

[vapid nebula]

Lol December release while Fort 68 already exist since 9 November

[sacred elm]

[uneven cradle]

crazy how little market presence a lot of these brands have in the west

not a single review to be found on youtube

[young viper]

Can't say I've ever heard of a fort68

[vapid nebula]

Prototype

[fluid ravine]

@tropic urchin

[tropic urchin]

how you going to do that with a miku glasspad thats like -20 aggression aura

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

I'm feeling nice today

[robust siren]

yeah include that when you sell the fluxes

and the discerption should be “lightly used, taken care of”

[fluid ravine]

HAHA

[hot ledge]

guys is this normal?

like im not pressing anything

and it says 1.20

[sacred elm]

No, replug the keyboard

[hot ledge]

oh now its fixed thx

[cloud crane]

Alexotos and Bowl is cooking a new case that will fit the wooting pcb and other GH60 pcbs 👀

[uneven cradle]

Bowl been making a bunch of collab boards recently

[cloud crane]

They just keep cooking fr 🗣️ 🔥

[ionic breach]

wait whaaa?

[flat cobalt]

What’s going on with keygem

[ionic breach]

you got a name?

[quasi hinge]

Does anyone know if I can forgo the lekker heist switches for faster delivery?

[ionic breach]

by request to support yea

[quasi hinge]

Okay nice, I emailed them but no response yet

[cloud crane]

Unreleased, only one rough prototype
https://www.twitch.tv/alexotos/clip/OilyTangiblePotPRChase-qVRnkH0x_jrQqmoj

Its probably not called manta mini, might be another name

[ionic breach]

oh its not

its middle port

[cloud crane]

Bowl is working on a adapter to fit the wooting pcb though

Just like on the Gehirn60

[ionic breach]

oooo

nice

[cloud crane]

More info here on this timestamp: https://youtu.be/6tPFR5O6Yf8?t=1h29m46s

[ionic breach]

looks great

they have a really good sense when it comes to colours so it will be really nice when its done i bet

[cloud crane]

True true

[glacial wind]

oh angle looks high though

9 degrees or something like that

that's too bad

[cloud crane]

Well it is still a very early prototype, things might change, maybe

[neon swift]

2mm lekker switches 😁👍

[tall hollow]

Oh nahhh

[neon swift]

it has no right to work this well but it do

i always wanted low profile rt switches cause i bottom out regardless of where my actuation point is

[tawdry tree]

The Fort is pretty new, but HM and RAKKA have had split space HE boards for over two years? now. ;)

[glacial wind]

Hm and those using hm collabs aren’t dumb, so I assume they saw wooting announced split and realized they could piggyback to sell more units of their previous split pcbs

It’s just smart marketing even if I don’t particularly like their split version for gaming

Would not at all be surprised to see more and more split keyboards pop up now

[paper bloom]

When wooting is the trendsetter 🔥

Ergo HE when?

[cloud crane]

Split ergo HE is the endgame 🗣️ 🔥

[uneven cradle]

They did like to copy the "weird" layout the of the 80HE after it came out

[cloud crane]

Not finalmeme 🥀

[austere creek]

why its good. it just takes 30seconds to boot the keyboard everytime

[cloud crane]

[tawdry tree]

and added split space, a badge, a screen, and a dummy wireless receiver to it

the dummy wireless receiver was the most necessary addon, considering it’s not a wireless board at all 😃:thumbsup:

[frosty sequoia]

Has anyone tried the BOYI aluminium case? I want some input

[leaden silo]

Hi guys, If i get the 60he v2 module, the geon raw switches, the case and keycaps as i would want to build it with these switches specifically, would i be missing anything that can stop me from building the keyboard?

Would be my first wooting and so far from all the reviews i watched, i love those geon raws

[ionic breach]

good to go i believe

[leaden silo]

Thank you 🙂

[tall hollow]

Doesn't the whole thing run Linux?

[austere creek]

idk i just know some people commented on the long boot times.

[tall hollow]

And it has a mediatek SoC, and 32gb of flash storage, and 4gb of RAM

It's a full blown computer lmao

It kind of has to be

Plus an MCU and HE sensors

[tall hollow]

Makes sense, needs to start an entire operating system plus the UE5 application

[unborn phoenix]

guys out of the recommend silent switches which ones would you say least impact my performance in rhythm games

I was told some of them are awkward to use

i also just dont wanna be loud though 😭

[chilly mural]

The one on the switch list in #🪛│modding_faq message should be good enough.

[unborn phoenix]

yeah I was looking at the list but just wanted to make sure they wouldn'tbe crazy mushy

[sacred elm]

All of them will negatively affect performance

[unborn phoenix]

yeah I wanted to find a decent middle ground if possible

[calm pulsar]

before arc I only ever played 1st person pvp games, not the biggest fan of 3rd person shenanigans, but overall it's fun and I like the game design

also I love how people scream "you suck" after I we've cleared their whole squad when they were trying to kill us at extract

[sacred elm]

I don't think anything like that is available right now, maybe wait for the new silent TTC switches

[austere creek]

i really wonder why they made it so complicated though

just let the effect run on the pc and make the keyboard a screen

like

[tall hollow]

probably because they wanted to make it a standalone device

plug and play just like any other keyboard

[humble surge]

roughly same as TB price for 85

[pure yacht]

Where can you buy Flaretech Linear55 "Red" switches?

[sacred elm]

You can't. If you need few replacement switches, contact Wooting and they might send you some https://support.wooting.io

[glass comet]

what r spacers ?? im using the switch selector in wootility n i see an option for spacers

[round sparrow]

built my mx alice board today, and i can tell you that is far from thocky

[sacred elm]

who's everyone

[tropic urchin]

W tikkens recolor

[trail bane]

Biggest misspelling ever, he meant "no one"

[young viper]

They sure sound nice, I'm debating on getting some

[night atlas]

I got it from here!

but it totalled to right under 70

[robust siren]

shipping fees?

[night atlas]

ya

[night atlas]

$64.24 USD

[robust siren]

not bad

[night atlas]

ya i am stoked

Got a new CF plate too

wondering if i'll like that over my fr4

[robust siren]

@night atlas

[night atlas]

Through my PC speakers, they all sound so similar haha

I'm sure they sound different IRL

how're you liking them as far as gaming?

[night atlas]

ok for those the PC sounds significantly different than fr4 and CF

[robust siren]

no complaints, their stability is great, no weird tacticle feeling i get like with the tikkens

[night atlas]

Hm, i have the tikkens currently, don't konw what tactile feeling you're talking about though

[robust siren]

yeah no that issue only seems to be a me problem lmao

[night atlas]

unless DC is so smooth it makes other switches feel tactile? lol

also bigfan of the keykobo soju caps

everyday i inch towards the "add to cart" button

[robust siren]

idk why the tikkens left liek that for me, if i clicked them outside of the keyboard with no keycaps it feels like a normal linear switch
but when theyre on the keyboard they felt tactile to me

clear novelties shall be put on once i get the v2 module

[night atlas]

wonder if there's some sort of "looseness" in your switch plate that only seems to affect the tikken's dimensions

i know i had a similar problem w/my spacebar on my fr4 plate

the switch was loose so it'd tick and sometimes "click" into the plate

it didn't comepletely remove itself, but it'd just be secure and unsecured

[robust siren]

hmm, i dont think so cause they were a pita to take out and i broke one by accident

[night atlas]

odd

out of curiosity, was that feeling universal to the rest of the keyboard or was it in just certain spots

[robust siren]

universal across the keyboard

so it might literally just be a me issue

[night atlas]

maybe wooting accidentally sent a beta test for their new tactile HE

tikken tokken HE

[robust siren]

well i am getting another set of tikkens witches because my friend wants my raws over his tikkens in his prebuilt

so ig we'll see if those feel any better

[night atlas]

having a homie w/an HE board is so beneficial

i always give my leftover switches i'm bored w/ and he thinks i am a saint

haha

[robust siren]

lmao

[robust siren]

im selling my 60he+ to a buddy when i get the v2 in hand
or well more like i already sold it since i told him to order a case for me

hopefully wooting CS will answer my emails monday and tack on a free uwu
i can use that as a present for another friend

[paper bison]

idk if they'd do it if you didnt use the code when you ordered

[robust siren]

erik (da goat) said smth about it in #🤩│wooting60hev2

[paper bison]

same code was open months ago

i used it when i ordered my 80he

[robust siren]

oh well i just didnt know about it

[paper bison]

if they honor it then w wooting

glad i got mine free with my 80he because i actually watch talkingcounter LOL

[robust siren]

well erik did say before 18:00 cet and i sent in an email back on thursday

[paper bison]

back in july lmao

[glacial wind]

oh. the gravastar guys sent a whole premodded wooting with their switches lol

i was wondering why the customs notice said whole keyboard

[chilly mural]

pic or didn't happen

[glacial wind]

Switches sound nice in it but loud, but that’s to be expected since it looks like a cf plate

Will have to test in more stock build

[chilly mural]

that's looks okay

[glacial wind]

Initial impression is very clean sounding switch, although definitely not deep sounding

Like a louder more pronounced deep clacky switch

Will record proper sound test tomorrow but this is a quickie phone one

Deep clack is jk, ufo is l:

[chilly mural]

how is it compared to tikken?

[glacial wind]

In their cf build it’s so loud lol

[glacial wind]

Much louder

[robust siren]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-hmmm-thinking-one-second-let-me-think-gif-15838250914742163450

[glacial wind]

Tikken vs ufo

Jk = tikken

I do like the ufo though, very clean sound which I like, but they are not ‘thocky’ as some Japanese videos said

[robust siren]

this is on the fr4 plate from the v2 right?

[glacial wind]

Yeah

If you want max loudness listen to this lol

[robust siren]

[glacial wind]

I know why they did the cf build though, because it’s closer to a thockier sound profile

[robust siren]

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

[glacial wind]

Probably wanted to show what the switch sounds like if you go for plate that emphasizes the particular sound note, although it’s definitely quite loud with cf

[robust siren]

did they tell you what keycap material that is?

[glacial wind]

It’s their own transparent keyboards since it has their logo on it

They don’t list material but I assume some sort of pc or acrylic if it’s transparent like this

The interesting thing about these switches is you have to grab them the opposite sides to pull

Because the grips to pull are on left and right due to their unique design

[sacred elm]

What about wobble

[glacial wind]

Wobble is good

[sacred elm]

as good as Flux?

[glacial wind]

Better than flux at top, sameish at bottom

Two sets next to each other

S and f are flux, d and g are ufo

[young viper]

Hmmmm

[glacial wind]

Honestly you’ll probably love these shafie lol

Because you like loud clack anyway and they’re super stable

[young viper]

They aren't bad sounding at all

Like shit I might get some

[glacial wind]

Yeah they sound clean. I don’t think they’re thocky at all but they’re clean sounding

And there is the downside in that no sane person is hand lubing these

[robust siren]

woulda been a nice pickup during black friday

[young viper]

Yeah definitely a clean pop sound, not thocky whatsoever

[robust siren]

or the cyber monday sale

[young viper]

Sno how bad is it to get them apart?

[robust siren]

screwdriver

all of them

[young viper]

Or

[robust siren]

hammer time

[young viper]

Hammer

[glacial wind]

You see that tiny little indent button

[chilly mural]

kinda like the sound test of these that I heard before, it sounds round.

[glacial wind]

You have to push that in to open it lol

[young viper]

Do it sno, lube just one😈

[glacial wind]

You basically need a pin or something to push it in

Definitely not designed to be opened

[young viper]

They aren't factory lubed right?

[glacial wind]

They are I would assume. Everyone factory lubed besides ttc

[young viper]

Yeah, I figured they'd be lubed at least a bit, thought I heard someone saying they weren't at some point

[glacial wind]

I wonder if a sim tray opener can open these

Okay no you need plyers and proper tools to open these

[sacred elm]

Maybe, but I don't think they're worth it if I already have DCFs lol

[glacial wind]

Definitely not opening these with simple push

[young viper]

Lmaoo

[chilly mural]

woaw

[glacial wind]

i have gateron delta almost here so once those + new ttc get here i'll do another update of the switch list

probably some changes for the stability picks

i do think there's always a slightly strange feel with S/S level stability switches though

in that the no wobble tightness feels a bit weird and it's not friction but 'feels tight'

[tall hollow]

I like it that way tbh

[glacial wind]

i want to try lubing to see if it makes it glide a bit smoother, but these don't open easily

i'm unsure if i like the feel or not of the tight walls

will have to use for a bit to decide

[tulip rapids]

oh lord sno doing another switch test

[deft wing]

I’m using Tofu Redux on 60HE, is changing to the new 60HE V2 silver case or optimum case worth it sound and feel wise? Also thinking of the Aula AG60 case because Owlab is dang expensive

[uneven cradle]

Keyboard addiction is strong very close to buying +84

[glacial wind]

sound wise not really. There will always be some amount of sound differences between cases, but it's not going to largely change tone normally, it'd mostly be for aesthetics

[thin geyser]

Does anyone have a link on how to lube switches like the wuque deep clack?

[cloud crane]

Good choice

[ionic breach]

same as any other

[pure yacht]

Thanks, do you know if they are available some where else or is it a full production stop?
Or are there good replacement switches that I can buy?

[quiet ginkgo]

anyone got a sound test with lekker tikkens on brass uwuting keypad?

[chilly mural]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VkfOrFHzbM

[ionic breach]

👀 just got the ping too

[cloud crane]

Interesting

[ionic breach]

its like 30 usd for 70?

not bad

[chilly mural]

36sgd

[cloud crane]

Oh its HMX

[ionic breach]

oh mb mean usd

[chilly mural]

~$50 for 95pcs

[ionic breach]

sound good too

[glacial wind]

I feel like they'll be raptor-like but 3.4mm, but we'll see

wait actually raptor v2 is 3.4mm, so I wonder how much of the mold they share

[forest pebble]

These are so pretty

[stoic ocean]

They sound good but I'm waiting until tomorrow for the TTC kom v2

[peak breach]

sno you think there's a chance for owlabs 80he case

[glacial wind]

no idea, I don't work in the product dev side of things and only they'd know

[austere creek]

we didnt make the owlab case

so our product dev wouldnt know either

afaik while it is a collab the main point was that we do global distrib for them so they can focus on china

[ornate grove]

when is this switch coming out?

[glacial wind]

i assume they'd be talking to owlab if it were happening to confirm specs and such, like with our v2, but yes we indeed don't make it

[austere creek]

ngl idk if id want another external product

the owlab is already (at least imo) not too well received

[ionic breach]

bowl is alr making a case for the 60he

it probably will be better recieved

[glacial wind]

if only mode would make an 80he case

[ionic breach]

i dont think anyone wants to do 80he

[glacial wind]

they should cause it's insanely popular, just custom keyboard crowd don't like the layout so eh

[ionic breach]

🙏

[glacial wind]

honestly given how most gaming reviewers are converting to split i'm expecting more and more splits to pop up

[peak breach]

i like it, there are some qc issues but i would want another "collab" so we can get more 80he cases

[ionic breach]

hopefully wooting reaches out

[deft wing]

Lmao just checked the cost of tax and shipping to my country for the v2 alu case is 50% from the price of the prebuilt. Might just pull the trigger and sell my current 60he with tofu redux

[glacial wind]

it's interesting because the non gaming focused reviewers don't care about split much, but it's the gamers that get it after using it

[ionic breach]

im sure they would do it insta if wooting helps them with the marketing a little

otherwise its risky

[glacial wind]

like squashy doesn't seem the appeal, but some of the fps reviewers instantly got it

there's definitely a certain divide there among the heavier gamers and non gamers

[deft wing]

I’m lowkey interested with the split space ngl. Seems something you’ll enjoy when you have it

[glacial wind]

i saw even freshgaming that wasn't a big wooting fan before was instantly sold on split after one session

there's just so many fps games that really benefit from the extra button there

[deft wing]

True, he’s anything but wooting fan before

[deft wing]

Where winds meet pvp combo gonna be better with it ngl hehe.

[glacial wind]

it would be goated for WoW too if only we did it on 80he

so that you don't lose f key row

[peak breach]

yeah but wooting would probably want to do qc themselves

[ionic breach]

woot doesnt do qc on owlabs probably

[glacial wind]

honestly i feel like if we ever do it for 80he it'll be like 80he launch all over again

[ionic breach]

unless im mistaken

cos its qc at the factory

[glacial wind]

where people went nuts for 80he launch because it was all the people forced on 60he finally getting wooting in a f row layout

[peak breach]

how come?

[glacial wind]

i think over the next year there'll be a lot of people who use v2 split but just wish they had f keys

myself included

and they can't swap back to 80he because no one else does this gaming variant of split

[ionic breach]

he means split spacebar

[glacial wind]

^

[peak breach]

mmm

[ionic breach]

oh btw

are u getting some of the squashy's switches?

seems like a very small batch

[glacial wind]

yeah i emailed him for some. I think they're sending over some to taiwan office

i wonder if the project started waaay long ago though and now it's dragged on until there's just a crazy amount of cheaper options that are just as good

[tall hollow]

It still got that chatter though

The HE chatter

I wonder if the chatter comes from the fact that the rails are significantly larger than standard switch side rails

[glacial wind]

like he might have started it when there were little to not good options available and it only just got to this stage where they can release, but now there's 4918290 cheap options that are just as good or better

unless he did something really big like do entire design from scratch

then that might be super cool

[tall hollow]

It looks like a recolor of some sorts

Because I've seen that same design on taobao before

[glacial wind]

yeah it looks like a lot of the hmx switches honestly

[tall hollow]

Yeah

[glacial wind]

which i assume it's a modified variant of it. not recolor but maybe some of his own changes to an existing mold

[tall hollow]

Yeah most likely

[cloud crane]

HMX releases so many switches a year, probably the queue is very long

[tall hollow]

Maybe a few material changes here or there

[proven wadi]

but 50g blehhhh

[glacial wind]

and the pain of creating is it takes months to get anywhere sometimes because between waiting for samples and changes you lose a lot of time

it's why people sometimes ask why wooting doesn't do x and then they find out later wooting was working on it for literal years

some things just take a lot of time, especially if you want certifications for them or you want to do it properly without breaking patents

[cloud crane]

Valid

[glacial wind]

i actually wonder how much time some cheapie board makers save by not worrying about the international certs

because i know that takes a lot of time for wooting

[tall hollow]

Also the fact that wooting doesn't do small batches, they always do really large ones.

[glacial wind]

yeah that's a block as well because you can't just pick a popular off the shelf option sometimes if the manufacturing capacity to make say 100k+ units of it doesn't exist

[tall hollow]

Yup lol

[cloud crane]

I hope HMX releases a HE switch that uses their new thickened N1 nylon bottoms, they have a really full bottom out sound.

[proven wadi]

like "MAD60HE" looks like its been made in the same factory as 60he, no way that would be okay in the weastern world if BMW made a car looking exactly like an audi and just change the brand

[tall hollow]

I wonder, what company makes the tikken switches?

[tall hollow]

That's how it be in China, a lot of the time actually

[cedar gate]

https://a.co/d/3nBW1Db

[tall hollow]

Hence why a lot of switch recolors exist

[cedar gate]

How well would that work for a wooting 60he

Like would it match the and height angle of a tofu?

[glacial wind]

your link doesn't have a preview so i refuse to click it

even though i assume it's an amazon link or similar lol

[cedar gate]

Ur good lol it's safe

I just sent it on mobile

Oh also if anyone has any suggestions (preferably under 10$) that would help

Also it needs to be on Amazon I have a gift card

[trail bane]

[humble surge]

@trail bane

[humble mountain]

Damn, first switches, we'll see the quality

[robust siren]

sno sent some ghetto sound tests last night

[halcyon obsidian]

what's some of the most popular switches right now

[humble mountain]

Thats why I ordered aha

[glacial wind]

i'll have proper soundtests recorded in next day sometime probably

but i'm pretty happy with the ufo outside of the fact that i think they don't feel as nice as non tight switches

but that's kind of the trade off because I don't think you can get switches this tight without the feeling of the stem

you either get hyper absurd stability or less stem feel

we'll see how the gateron delta compare once they get here, as that's the other switch some people were saying it quite stable

[lime yew]

It is not.

[humble surge]

did you get yours finally aswell?

[glacial wind]

yeah i posted sound tests earlier today

just rough ones though

will record the good one later during work hours

[paper bison]

quick fire decision

ufo or dcf

[humble surge]

All good, i don't need to hear them more than i did already :)

[glacial wind]

eh not sure. DCF feel better but UFO are more stable

[chilly mural]

DCF

[glacial wind]

UFO feel tight because they are tight. They're an S top and S bottom

[paper bison]

gonna buy more dcf in the christmas sale tonight, and get some ufo

[glacial wind]

so you don't get any movement

[paper bison]

the one thing putting me off ufo is the stupid switch opening process to lube it

[glacial wind]

sometimes movement is a good thing because it feels less tight

[austere creek]

the word used i heard wasnt rough... but ghetto

[chilly mural]

That's quite nice

[humble surge]

First hand sound best sound ^^

[glacial wind]

I think some folks like thockfather would hate them for sure though lol

you never escape the feeling of the stem

whereas the switches that are A+ top but S bottom are at least giving you a tad bit movement where you don't feel the clamp of the stem against the housing whole time

but i can totally see stability maxxers liking the ufo

[humble surge]

I didn't regret the early adoption, lets put it that way

[glacial wind]

i think they sound nice on carbon fiber too

but quite loud

[humble surge]

I'm satisfied with the sound, but if 80HE ISO plates come back in stock, i'm happy to try CF or others next year

[glacial wind]

i've been deciding on if i should include decibels in the sound tests but honestly for like 9/10 switches it doesn't add anything and it's mostly pitch with very very minor decimal differences

it's just the occasional one like the ufo where it's noticably louder lol

but i think i'll keep it off because there's no fair way for me to do decibel readings if i'm manually pressing

you could easily press harder on one by not being used to lighter switches or a different switch stem length

you'd need a robot pressing to do it fairly

[uneven cradle]

The rawhuks are pretty obnoxiously loud

I tried dampening with foam, didn't do anything

[glacial wind]

yeah i remember duhuks were the one where i noticably heard the louder bottom

the sound of that bottom is just unique

even more than whatever mixture they used in the later crystal he

[humble surge]

I don't have much to compare it to, but i didn't experience loud, it's rather deep instead. Also not clacky, but something else.

[humble mountain]

I saw them already on some vidéo, they are tactile, im not sure this is really compatible with hall effect, i think u can loss a lot of "usability" of the hall effect

but idk maybe im wrong

[glacial wind]

The deltas? You might thinking of another switch

The deltas just are gateron switch but some funky triangle stem

[chilly mural]

Prop thinking of Jade Emerald with the same color scheme but has a click wheel

[rocky harbor]

any good place to get pudding keycaps?

[stray tiger]

I will test and let you know. I've got some new switches to send you soon too.

[craggy light]

How good is the Alumaze60 + GEON RAW HE combo

[stray tiger]

If it looks and sounds good to you then it's great!

[craggy light]

I will find out soon, order has been made 🫡

[edgy radish]

yo if im tryna get a better case for 80he is gt80 my best bet or is there anything better? i want it to be pink, thats only requirement

current case is abs black one from wooting so i might want upgrade

[stray tiger]

Not a lot of pink options so if that's the requirement you probably have 1 or 2 choices max and the GT80 gets a lot of love. I wouldn't call it better than the Zinc case but those aren't pink

[edgy radish]

i heard about bone80 but idk if they have pink or if its even better than gt80

[craggy light]

I went with the Levander Purple instead of Ocean Blue, should be a sick combo with the white caps

[stray tiger]

Bone80 has a pink option but can't say if it's better as that's preference based on what looks good to you

[edgy radish]

ill check it out rq, but basically gist is that there arent really any other options besides those 2 for pink?

[stray tiger]

Might be others but those are the main ones I've seen in pink

[edgy radish]

aight ty

ill prob get gt80 off maxgaming but the shipping to US for them is so expensive 😭

oh well sacrifices must be made for the sake of keeb

[stray tiger]

Extra aluminum tariffs

[tropic urchin]

Hasn’t been any new/good ones to dethrone GT80 atm

[edgy radish]

bet that

[tawdry tree]

I ❤️ recolors!

[tawdry tree]

it’d be fine if there was more communication and an improvement in QC standards

[rough hedge]

Why not just buy it directly from kbdfans, its cheaper and taxes are paid with the shipping

[edgy radish]

might be a good idea actually cuz they have them in stock and shipping is cheaper

[paper bison]

aliexpress christmas sale starts soon

time to order more dcf and some storage containers

[remote shard]

I am looking to get some keycaps, but am having a hard time narrowing down my search. Is this the place to ask my questions or is there a better spot? (are keycaps apart of moding? More of a facelift imo lol)

[paper bison]

sno my goat for putting me on to aliexpress coins

[uneven cradle]

This is the place, what you looking for

[young viper]

Tf is aliexpress coins

[austere creek]

its like bitcoin but worth less

you go to the aliexpress mines and get some

[remote shard]

I am wanting to upgrade from the stock key caps on the Two HE. My main pain points I am having a hard time hitting is that I want the letters to be transparent so the back lighting can be seen. It seems on most keycaps they are opaque. I have used more putty style caps in the past but am not married to them.

[austere creek]

you want double shot backlit keycaps

not hard to find

but hard to find in fun designs

mainly cause well.... backlights arent really what most of those keycap enthuasiasts are into

so more often than not you get colored legends in a way it fits in some bigger design of the keycap theme

or no legends but cool dye sub images across the caps

[uneven cradle]

Well that and the method of manufacturing loses a lot of quality in the legends which is not something enthusiasts like

[austere creek]

im not even sure how many like high end DIY super modded boards have RGB

or any backlight

[uneven cradle]

Not too many

[calm pulsar]

I think they rarely do, but they may have backlight if its for semitransparent case materials

[lyric nimbus]

osmium keycaps

[austere creek]

like i always feel like that keycaps made for rgb/backlight are mainly plain and meant for well a gamer target audience

not really for people who want aesthetically pleasing boards

could just be me though

hate saying "refined taste" but thats the best words i can find to boil it down

[uneven cradle]

Pretty much plus they would have to redo the typefaces they currently use

[austere creek]

(i think its already crazy enough that a lot of the higher end sets are hundreds of bucks and people wait 6months+ on the regular to even receive a bit of plastic)

(personally only buy clones of sets i like from aliexpress/taobao)

[calm pulsar]

used to be 2 years for some sets

but thats cause of covid I think

[uneven cradle]

Yeah GMK has sorted out their manufacturing time so now it's usually less than 6 months

[austere creek]

hahaha imagine waiting months for some plastic with funny colors... id never.... looks over to some anime figurine they just received after 9months

[remote shard]

I had bought the magnetic waves from the wootings store with my two HE not knowing they didnt have transparent lettering, since those are super cool to me.

That is interesting outlook and info I needed.

So wanting aesthetic caps with backlighting is kind of a losing battle because of the market they are typically aimed to?

[austere creek]

yes

[tropic urchin]

now its time to wait for the emerald green Selene recolor

[austere creek]

i personally can see why since i also think it just clashes between nicely designed keycaps and some random backlight color that would also be my legends.

i also turn down my backlight usually

my 2he is at 25% right now

basically just to find the board when its dark nothing else

[calm pulsar]

this will go nicely with my guitar and adidas jacket

[tropic urchin]

and future GS

[uneven cradle]

I'm one of those weird gamers who games with the lights turned on

[remote shard]

I keep my back light low as well but a static color, I don't like croma shifting. So it would just be another level of customization to me. And allow me to see in not perfect lighting conditions. Even more so since the wooting software lets you customize each key.

[calm pulsar]

the closest I can get to GS is probably just window shopping when im in Japan

[austere creek]

i mean i can type blind anyway (not that i even know how to do 10finger typing since i do some awkward selftaught system of like eagle search modified)

[calm pulsar]

same, it's better for your eyes anyways

[tropic urchin]

film enough switch reviews and you'll get there

[austere creek]

i do that if i play horror games or spooky stuff like stalker2

or the stranger things mission in far cry 6

[tropic urchin]

I padded your old jade video, now its time to update

[calm pulsar]

"Now Wooting sounds even better with Gravastar UFO switches!"

[calm pulsar]

stalker 2 labs ended up being not that spooky for me, but the og triology was scary af as a kid

[austere creek]

but yeah i dont think finding backlit legends with nice designed caps will be any small task and will prob take ages if possible at all

[austere creek]

i almost shat my girlfriends panties after shitting my own

[remote shard]

thanks for the help. I will cope indeed lol

[glossy pagoda]

wtf did I just walk into

[remote shard]

That being said, I was looking the other day for caps, and found some that had a bee theme, but can not find them anymore, has anyone else seen them and know what site it was?

[austere creek]

me being a wuss with scary stuff

[uneven cradle]

[sacred elm]

This?

[remote shard]

I just stumbled on this as you sent the msg I think. It was so similar, but it had like a transparent enter key with a honey comb look.

[craggy light]

Anyone here using the GEON RAW HE

[uneven cradle]

Me

Sort of

[craggy light]

What are your thoughts on them

[uneven cradle]

They're solid, if I was to buy now I'd get the owlab ti HEs over them though

The difference isnt ground breaking though

[craggy light]

I got them over the new Tikken, idk if it was worth almost double the price

[remote shard]

I found them. I was wrong about the transparent bit.

Never mind, I was not lol

[craggy light]

I also need a good set of keycaps but that will be in the future, the double shot PBT from Wooting will do for now

[little glen]

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=125639.0

Might have been thinking of these

[remote shard]

That is also a cute set, but it was these. https://clickclack.io/collections/in-stock-keycaps-2/products/in-stock-jtk-hsa-bee-keeping-abs-doubleshot-glossy-surface-keycap-set

Thanks for looking!

[little glen]

I had those in the back of my head cause a friend of mine really loves bees so i showed her those

[remote shard]

Another question I had, I just got my two HE, maybe 4 days ago, I also goit the lube kit, should I do that now or wait? I dont really know what I am looking for to know if lube is needed lol

[paper bison]

just got 70 dcf for $40

[trail bane]

Gn

[cyan lark]

Hand lube one switch and see if you like how it sounds/feels compared to another one and decide if you want to spend ~4 hours doing it 🙂

[remote shard]

This is a good idea, Thanks!

[amber sonnet]

I’m swapping out my lekker 45 v2 switches for gateron jade pros and it’s EXTREMELY difficult to get it out of its socket, half of the switches I pulled out ended up having their clips broken off by where the switch puller would hook

The clips would literally give out before the switch comes out its socket, but in yt videos they come out so smooth and easy, help pls

[sacred elm]

Pulling Lekkers can be difficult, especially if you don't have a good switch puller. It's much easier if you disassemble the keyboard and push the switches out from the plate instead.

[amber sonnet]

It’s disassembled and I’m using gaterons switch puller

I was using the wooting switch puller that came with the board but it straight up would not get any switches out

Just bought the gateron puller and now it’s getting the switches out, but now without breaking em too 😔

I’m taking out the jade pro switches I’ve already installed to see if those are also insanely difficult to take out, but they come out really smooth, turns out lekker 45 v2 switches are just absolutely horrible to take out

If anyone had the same experience with their lekker 45 v2 switches lmk

[lethal iron]

false, i pulled mine out with a flathead screwdriver and a butter knife before

i might just be the goat though

[amber sonnet]

You must be

[fallen crag]

I had trouble with the lekkers in the 80HE

But then once I put them back it wasn't so bad to remove them again

For some reason they really slam em in there on assembly or something

[amber sonnet]

Yeah I put one of em back in and took it out again, was way better (probably because the clamps got snapped off when taking them out originally)

[lethal iron]

oh

mine still have clamps

[amber sonnet]

Ts is so crazy, the force I put into pushing out my new gateron switches from underneath has them flying across my room the second I apply pressure

Then it takes 3x as much pressure to take out the lekker switches

Bout to damn near snap this keyboard with all the pressure i gotta use for these switches

[candid elm]

Is there anyone here that has experience with sound modding the wooting 2 HE with opening the case up? (Stuff like tape and foam inserts or anything else)

[uneven cradle]

Two HE wasn't really designed with modding in mind so you won't find too many people who have opened it up

[glacial wind]

Ah man I knew I forgot something. I need to put the stem spacer and split spacebar extra stab required info into the stabilizer cheat sheet

[feral grail]

in terms of stability, which is more stable? UFO vs Raptor V2

[glacial wind]

Same-ish but ufo has a tighter feel slightly cause it’s a full walled stem - which I’m not sure if that’s good or bad

I do think they sound way better than raptor v2 though

[paper bloom]

it sounds better than the raptor by a bit to me

also morning guys
