[glacial wind]

Raptors always sounded a bit meh to me. Just very flat sounding

Which is fine for some but not my preference

[paper bloom]

To me its not as flat as the raws the TI has more pop

The jade pros are bangers but the DC flux's alrdy did it better

[paper bloom]

but comparing it to raptors for this, naw TI def beats it by sound

if anything

[cyan lark]

When are your secret DCF killers coming Jed?

[reef oar]

impossible

[glacial wind]

I wish I knew exactly. All I know are the murmurs coming from the deep.

[chilly mural]

Are you sure it's not just your imagination?

[glacial wind]

The murmurs are very lifelike and show photos

hrm speaking of switches new ttc is out

i wonder how it feels

i think their other one that they say is not ready yet is more interesting because it's a new external stem as well

i still grabbed a batch of these to try though

oh their ttc online store doesn't have a field for customs number, what a pain. Have to wait for their aliexpress store to stock it tomorrow

looking at the 2 switches, their purple new kom is old kom + new internal enclosed magnet and the unreleased one is new split stem + internal enclosed magnet

[tawdry tree]

[glacial wind]

Gravastar UFO soundtest is live: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BHfN3jr1zYs

switch tested well. Magnet compatible, it's actually very strong magnet similar to lekkers

S/S stability wise switch, although you 100% feel the stem the entire time

[paper bloom]

I remember there was a mod for the gravastar

in one of the switches

Nvm RIP

[glacial wind]

I need to do some pruning maybe on stability switches list, not sure which one to kick off, probably helios

[chilly mural]

Yesh, gravistar same ish price anyway

And has better stability and actually lubed

[trail bane]

What do y’all think, should i rather go with silver leggera or cream?

I’m kinda sold for both options but idk

[tawdry tree]

silver is more versatile

[trail bane]

Indeed

[tawdry tree]

https://tenor.com/view/sherlock-holmes-now-firm-grasp-obvious-gif-25345453

I’d go with silver unless you have a set that matches cream perfectly already

[trail bane]

No i don’t

[tawdry tree]

cream has more character tho, imo.

and if you’re not going with a white or dark set, it can be somewhat versatile too

[fallen pecan]

The new keyspire switch the JP bros are hyped about, 99 yuan for 10, each switch is individually packaged

[cloud crane]

[tawdry tree]

these are the discounts I live for 🥰

[tall hollow]

Why, just why

That is extremely wasteful

[tawdry tree]

so I buy it right away for 199 instead of later for 199

😃👍

[tawdry tree]

oh.

don’t ask me

idfk

lol

[tall hollow]

199 RMB for how many switches!?

[tawdry tree]

20

[tall hollow]

So a $1.40 per switch.....

Robbery in broad daylight holyyy

[tawdry tree]

.40 for the switch itself, 1 for the packaging

[tall hollow]

BWAHAHAHA

Yeah probably

[tawdry tree]

honestly, for all the people that bought enough to fill a board, the packaging is more annoying than “premium feeling”

having to open all those little boxes 😭

[tall hollow]

Yeah LMAO

[tall hollow]

And they only come in packs of 20!?

[tawdry tree]

10

[tall hollow]

Oh even worse

[tawdry tree]

💀

[tall hollow]

Pain

[little glen]

Filling up your whole trash bag with those boxes

[glacial wind]

odd, why are they so hyped about it? It looks like a standard old split stem

it's not even the fully enclosed version

or is there something new I'm not seeing in the photo

all the materials seem normal-ish too besides the pa12 maybe? Is that what they're hyped about?

[tall hollow]

Maybe idk

[tawdry tree]

PA12 and if the listing is accurate, it’s not an exact recolor of the Qians as these have a 3.4mm travel

[plush stream]

hello, just want to ask a question is the holy60 compatible with the new 60he v2?

[glacial wind]

seems pretty meh if that's all it is then honestly. For whatever reason those guys also loved the polar pro split stem sound too so i guess it makes sense

[fallen pecan]

apparently

[tawdry tree]

the difference between deep clackies (pa66) and ocean whispers (pa12) was surprising to me

though wuque’s pa66 is a lot more brittle than any other pa66 so it might not be a great comparison

and of all the split stems (except encapsulated magnets), I disliked Qians the least.

[glacial wind]

it's because qians lubed the best

if you open it they're only guys who bothered lubing all the internal split parts well

[glacial wind]

okay makes sense. Those japanese crew love the standard splits even though everyone else hated the polar pro sound lol

if they can get polar pro but deeper they probably love it

okay squashyboy confirmed he's sending me some switches as well @ionic breach

[paper bison]

idk from the ghetto sound tests in his video it didn't sound like anything special at first

[sullen salmon]

not entirely sure how i’m supposed to install these standoffs, any ideas?

bought it like 2 years ago didn’t figure it out then but my old plate has a crack in it so it’s forced my hand

tried to screw them in from one side but the screws are obviously too small and go right thru the hole for the standoffs

[little glen]

all of the screws?

some screws are different

[sullen salmon]

they all appear to be the same size

[little glen]

you'll want to put the screws with a flat top through the plate and then screw it into the standoff either by holding the standoff and screwing in the screw or the other way around

also make sure you are using the medium sized holes ofc

[sullen salmon]

all of em r too small

every screw falls thru the medium sized holes

i have a seperate plate for reference so i know where they’re all supposed to go

[little glen]

interesting

[sullen salmon]

very much so

[little glen]

sounds like either the screws are too small or the plate is miscut

where did you get the plate

[sullen salmon]

uhhh

some aussie vendor it’s been some time

just realized it doesn’t have the thinner stand offs either

[little glen]

standoffs dont need to be thin

[sullen salmon]

the sharper thinner pole

[little glen]

dont compare 1:1 with wooting plate

oh you mean the poles

[sullen salmon]

yes

[little glen]

yeah ignore those too

[sullen salmon]

i mean

those would probably work with the screws as standoffs but

[little glen]

can you take a picture of the standoff holes from both sides

[sullen salmon]

there’s no difference

it doesn’t taper or anything

[little glen]

hmm yeah idk about that

and none of the screws fit yeah?

[glacial wind]

oh ttc aliexpress store has flip now

ordered a pack for testing

[sullen salmon]

nope

there is shorter and longer ones but the size of the head are smaller than the standoffs

so they just go right through the holes

the standoffs are big enough

[sullen salmon]

no idea where to go from here tbh

might have to buy a new plate and kit and pray

my keyboard is in pieces tho 😭

[sullen salmon]

lol the pcb screws would work

[plush stream]

guys what's better in terms of thock and performance and rgb geon works raw he or gateron magnetic jade pros?

[lime yew]

Tikkens

[plush stream]

thanks saved me money 🫡🙏

[sullen salmon]

are they the best sounding and feeling HE switches nowadays?

ive got jade pro rubys they're great

actually in the middle of relubing them and rebuilding my keyboard a little better but got no plate to use

[sacred elm]

preference

[sullen salmon]

sure

but what exactly would one be preferring? as in what are the noticeable differences

[sacred elm]

stem wobble, smoothness, sound, travel distance

[sullen salmon]

i meant subjectively do they just "feel nicer" or "sound better"?

[tropic urchin]

Stem stability (is there a lot of movement when your fingers are on your keycaps/when bottoming out), sound and feel can differ depending on springs and overall tightness

[sullen salmon]

as opposed to jade pros?

i know jade pro rubys have better tolerances than the standard jade pros

[tropic urchin]

Ruby’s are just a recolor

[sullen salmon]

nah they did have slightly better tolerance

[sacred elm]

wobble will be similar to jade ruby

[sullen salmon]

theyre noticeably nicer feeling and sounding

unless they re-released the tolerances to standard jade pros

[halcyon obsidian]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[humble surge]

I guess i'll order a few samples

[cyan lark]

Jeez are those individually boxed switches?

[humble surge]

Looks like, i didn't pay as close attention, but the few details are interesting enough to get a few to try (not a whole set ofcourse, price and amount is just absurd)

[halcyon obsidian]

I may do the ufos

[humble surge]

Can recommend, insanely stable throughout the whole push, very clean and unique sound (which is not clacky, best way i can describe), great feel.

[halcyon obsidian]

Do they need lubed? They seem like a pain since you can’t use a standard switch opener

[humble surge]

No need for lubing no

[halcyon obsidian]

Did you order straight from Gravastar?

[humble surge]

Nope, from TaoBao

[trail bane]

Damn

I have copper deficiency in my body, it’s time to swap out POM plate back to Copper one

[humble surge]

looks like Pink Lotus ships now, few days ago it was greyed out

[rocky harbor]

are the lekker v2 switches supposed to be so hard to pull out? the included plastic switch puller struggles to pull out the switches

[glacial wind]

Yep it’s a known issue with those switches being a tad too tight

[rocky harbor]

gotcha just dont wanna break them

[glacial wind]

We usually recommend using a good metal puller instead

[rocky harbor]

where do you get them? wooting store or just any?

[glacial wind]

Wuque titanium switch puller and tx puller are the crowd favourites

Available from a lot of online keyboard shops

[rocky harbor]

tyty!

[hybrid cairn]

anyone know how much space there is in the 80HE for the addition of a dampener? was gna add some MLV but what thickness would be too much

[robust siren]

daymn

or $50 usd

[paper bloom]

YOO SG SWITCHES

[tulip rapids]

bro finna buy more switches 😭

[paper bloom]

i cld get it for u and u can pay the shipping E Z

[robust siren]

lwk

might wait till i go to china to order

[paper bloom]

its in singapore

i can literally cop them for the x amnt have it over to me and DHL to your address

but idk the price

[robust siren]

its probably cheaper to ship it to china than to the us.. right?

[paper bloom]

the batch productions are either in ali or SINGAPORE?

idk where pantheon produces and ships ik its malaysia and singapore

as far as i am aware

[paper bloom]

uhh most likely

[tropic urchin]

W shipping

[paper bloom]

but deadass singapore local is best local

[tropic urchin]

Forget the switches imma go play with the $32 box

[chilly mural]

It's Singapore

[paper bloom]

yea ik

i forgot

my brain dieed

for a moment i havent slept yet

[analog mulch]

hey guys is this one good for wooting v2?

[humble mountain]

Damn, very very cool

Thanks for the vid

i really think they are some really cool switches

[craggy light]

It’s just a cable, why wouldn’t it be good

[tropic urchin]

I wouldn’t trust a Chinese knock off cable imo

[humble mountain]

Bro everything u buy about keyboard is from china or sth around

sooooooooooo

same

[tropic urchin]

Thockfather reviewed the wired in cables which seem to work with 8k polling but I wouldn’t trust attack shark

[tropic urchin]

It’s less where you buy it from, but from who

[humble surge]

I can only agree, had them for a week, my experience has been excellent on every front

[uneven cradle]

For a variety of reasons unfortunately

Mainly can't deliver enough power which can cause all kinds of issues you wouldn't want

[humble surge]

This is very true in general and people need to realise it sooner or later, oftentimes the same factories make products you would draw these imaginary lines between based on brand or whatever silly reason.

[cyan lark]

I think the operative word is "knockoff", which usually comes with using lower quality components, even if the mold/design is the same.

[craggy light]

Now I have a question: Which colors match the best with purple? I was thinking about yellow/green

Since I got the Purple Levander Alumaze

What keycaps

[cyan lark]

Purple green and gold are the colors of royalty

[craggy light]

gg

The Alumaze already has that gold thing on the left side

Green keycaps will go crazy

[cyan lark]

British racing green are green + gold

[humble surge]

i was told Cyan before

[craggy light]

I think Levander Purple and this shade of green would look amazing

[untold wigeon]

yea I was looking at this last night

made a comment in #💬│general too

they are affordable right until you consider shipping to the US

[robust siren]

ill bring some back from china

[untold wigeon]

hopefully the next run is soon, they plan to have US fuffilment centers

[robust siren]

maybe get some ufos and fluxes for cheap 👀

[untold wigeon]

:0

devious plotting

im heading to korea with my girlfriend for a few weeks, might cop some as well

[valid cipher]

Does any one know if the whooting 60he v2 fit in the ky60 ?

[robust siren]

looks like a holy60 clone and it says its gh60 compatable so probably

[young viper]

Says it's wooting 60 so maybe

[robust siren]

you can get a legit one form gateron for cheaper the same price

both are ecoated since that ones white it cant be an anodized finish

[paper bison]

“the shape is strange and cool”

“enhance heat dissipation efficiency”

chinesium marketing strategy wtf

[robust siren]

yeah idk about that heat dissipation thing

thats funny

[tropic urchin]

“Breaking the standard design scheme” meanwhile it’s just another holy60

Very daring today

[atomic swallow]

Whats deeper sounding and less clacky? Neo Lavender, Elf King, TTC, Ice Ultra, flux deep clacky?

Or any others u may have in mind

[hybrid cairn]

anyone?^

[humble surge]

UFO

[robust siren]

i wouldnt say ufos are deeper than dcf, definitely louder
and only marginally deeper on a CF plate while being louder

from snos videos

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[atomic swallow]

Then what switch?

The closer to the smooth deep sound without much clack the better

As many "tockier" one are just usually super loud

[robust siren]

probably tikkens

[atomic swallow]

Tikken end up sounding kinda hollow and scratchy

[hybrid cairn]

deep sound is thock, but imo i still dont think there are any HE switches that cross into the thock category

[robust siren]

but tbh i dont think youre gonna get that deep sound youre looking for, maybe dcf on pc plate
but i personally wouldnt consider that too deep

[atomic swallow]

Still, whats the best option?

[robust siren]

i havent tried ur ice, and only the mmd c1s

but theyre all kinda just clacky

not really much of that deep sound

[atomic swallow]

Whats dcf?

[hybrid cairn]

i recall hearing that the Gravastar UFOs are getting there

[robust siren]

fluxes deep clacky

i really only have through sound tests for those

[atomic swallow]

I am still around Neo Lavender, medium stem wobble but the sound is quite smooth, silent and a bit deep

[hybrid cairn]

lubed TTC Elfs are also a deep clacky

sorta sounds like an octave down lego building sound

[atomic swallow]

If i add ceramic keycaps

[hybrid cairn]

i have ceras :D

[atomic swallow]

Ufos are found to not be very deep

[robust siren]

Deep clack is jk, ufo is l: - from sno
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/984799440072220692/1447080937035661322/IMG_7523.mov?ex=69384ce4&is=6936fb64&hm=d7f4850d205a9179b98a2da7866e4d0ff41d947926d59b9b6368df61d0e4feb8&

[hybrid cairn]

yeah all of em are around there. all of em are js deeper clacky. you can check out TTC Elfs

Akko Astrolinks

uuuh theres a few more

UR studio Ice Ultras are also a deeper clack

[atomic swallow]

The current theoretical build: Wooting 80he zinc case (zinc is denser therefore should offer a deeper sound), Foam modes, tape mod, Neo lavender, ceramic keycaps. Thats basically it

[robust siren]

tbh your best bet is just picking one of them

• pc plate, poron foam sandwich, edpm/poron case foam (or you can use kilmat for even more dampening) and ceramic keycaps

[hybrid cairn]

wooting 80 comes with a tape mod tho, unless ur gna add more
also thats like almost deadass my exact build

[humble surge]

I think you would like them, i had them for a while to form my opinion.
Very clean sound, not clacky, but a bit deeper.

[hybrid cairn]

im using diff switches tho

[atomic swallow]

Same switches?

[hybrid cairn]

^

[atomic swallow]

Maybe, but im not looking for a "signiture sound", i find any loud clackness very annoying

[hybrid cairn]

im usin TTC KOMs for the no stem wobble. waiting for an actual thock switch before i buy a set

[atomic swallow]

Does anyone have any ideas on neo lavender?

Soundwise that is

[hybrid cairn]

didja check out TTC Elfs, Akko Astrolinks, and UR studio Ice Ultras?

[robust siren]

neos are a recolored gateron jade

[humble surge]

They aren't loud in my experience, the Lekker v2 60s were louder. I think it's much less annoying.
Not sure what signature means, but it's just clean more than anything.

[atomic swallow]

They sound different tho

[hybrid cairn]

likely different room/board/mic. recolors dont sound different from the base switch since theyre mechanically identical

[atomic swallow]

Uhmm weird

[hybrid cairn]

thats js how sound works

thats why its always recomended to hear ts IRL. literally everything affects sound tests

[atomic swallow]

Yeah true but it was the same board

[hybrid cairn]

show me this video

[atomic swallow]

Not video, I tested them myself

Maybe the lubework was different?

[hybrid cairn]

maybe? were they side by side in the middle of the board?

[atomic swallow]

Or placebo lol

[hybrid cairn]

maybe idk i wasnt there

or was i

[young viper]

I'm debating on buying the ufo's, but there's so many other things I need first lol

[atomic swallow]

Maybe you were

[robust siren]

theres also Everglide Skylines which should be tighter/better stem wobble than neos

[humble surge]

you were, i saw you, and i was there too

but who was the 4th? 👀

[hybrid cairn]

probably sno, i heard he spawns into the corner of your room whenever you run a sound test

[atomic swallow]

I wonder if in terms of ceramic keycaps do they suck because they feel to heavy and slipery

[humble surge]

no

[hybrid cairn]

i have them, they do not

[atomic swallow]

Great to know, even if gaming?

[hybrid cairn]

yep

[robust siren]

personally i just dont like how they look

[hybrid cairn]

unless u js have super oily/sweaty hands

like unreasonable amounts of liquid coming off ur hands

[hybrid cairn]

agree to diagree, i love how clean ts is, esp with the cera novelties. the clean + minimalistic detailing is something i adore

[atomic swallow]

Not the glossy ones, the matte ones

[humble surge]

They are very durable, look great and thocky sound profile, been planning to get some in the near future

[hybrid cairn]

js know sometimes theyll come crooked. take pics and send them to aftersale support in their official discord and they send you replacement keys for free

[humble surge]

Also due to the material, in summer it remains cool

[atomic swallow]

I might just go for the gateron jades and call it a day, tbh tock is all about the foam and keyboard build themselves and not the switch

[robust siren]

tbh i need to see the matte ones from more angles

[hybrid cairn]

its a mixture of everything

[robust siren]

cause the gloss one...

[hybrid cairn]

man whats wrong with the gloss

so shiny

so clean

[humble surge]

nothing, it's awesome

but i'm going for Crazed

[atomic swallow]

When it comes to hall effectz everything is clacky no matter what

[hybrid cairn]

true

[atomic swallow]

I dont recommend it

[robust siren]

also arent legends printed on the cerakeys?

[hybrid cairn]

im gna snag some crazed whites and matte whites to sprinkle on my board, gna make it variable texture to look almost like snow

[hybrid cairn]

its like some sorta laquered addition on top. very durable though havent had any issues

also they have texture

[hybrid cairn]

why

[atomic swallow]

Crazed adds a slight layers above the keycap, removing the finger placement dent and making it more rounded and more slippery, plus the extra material may cause them to scratch in one another, i found that to be a issue in a few users

[humble surge]

Crazed white is what i was planning, but it was OOS.
However A+B set is doable right now which fills a 80HE, think i might just get it in January

[hybrid cairn]

i think its in stock rn no?

ope

nvm

gone already

that was so fast

[humble surge]

Your concern is appreciated

[humble surge]

They were OOS for weeks actually, the full set that is

[hybrid cairn]

if you have spare crazed whites can i buy them off you for cheap, i dont wna buy a full extra B set for some sprinkles

cause i was left with quite a few spares since i got A+B black and whites

[atomic swallow]

Yeah, the keycap is slightly concave to allow for more grip, added layers makes it slightly more convex, and even without crazed it seems the ceramic keycaps are very close together

[hybrid cairn]

its still concave tho

its like a very slight thickness difference

[atomic swallow]

Its noticable

[hybrid cairn]

slight enough to the point where they dont even sound different

[atomic swallow]

Feel is much different than sound lol

[humble surge]

We can do that yeah

[hybrid cairn]

im js saying that the change is very slight and the key is still concave

[hybrid cairn]

appreciate ittt

[robust siren]

maybe ill try ceramic keycaps later next year

[atomic swallow]

Easy 120 dollars fr

Expensive stuff

[humble surge]

Not at all, people buy plastic caps for 100-150

[hybrid cairn]

not too bad

seen worse

[humble surge]

this is value

[robust siren]

my kkb soju set all in was 160 (175 if you add in the split spacebar)

[hybrid cairn]

bruh the white crazed blanks are OOS even in A+B sets rn

RIP

[atomic swallow]

Ceramic is just tock goodness

[humble surge]

well atleast i'm not tempted to spend my food budget on it

[hybrid cairn]

imagine eating

[humble surge]

i was thinking before i ordered two more mice, but not really after :D

[hybrid cairn]

couldnt be me

[hybrid cairn]

lmao real

which mice?

[humble surge]

mouse collector enthusiast won over keyboard modder kek

[robust siren]

not even

[hybrid cairn]

oh yeah sale going on

[atomic swallow]

Damm you regional prices

[humble surge]

i got an OP1 8K and an A9 Air

[robust siren]

i also would need them to come in split spacebar

whether they decide to do that or not i might consider buying it

[hybrid cairn]

lemme buy sm spares off you frfr

oh wait those have legends

n v m

lowk i wish they did a black and silver laquer set thatd be so lit

[robust siren]

but for now, kkb soju

[humble surge]

Now that is actually expensive

as nice as they may be

[hybrid cairn]

mm alchohol

[humble surge]

but i also like letters and numbers so

[hybrid cairn]

cant say i like any of em, but if their black and gold was black and silver i woulda copped in a hearbeat

[hybrid cairn]

ah im a blank enthusiast, love the clean look

my entire middle of the board is white blanks and the outside is black novelties

[robust siren]

drink

[humble surge]

They are interesting, just not enough, and at the end of the day these are caps that should be fulfilling a function, i don't wanna look at just a picture and having to type from muscle memory 100% of the time.

[hybrid cairn]

dislocates jaw to swallow board

[humble surge]

At that price caps like that i would only get to put them in a glass cabinet for display

on some nice case board

[hybrid cairn]

i only type from muscle memory, and i love the clean looks from blanks so im chillin

[robust siren]

id use blanks if i could touchtype the number row symbols

but i cant

i do have the optimum keycaps but i dont use them for a different reason

[hybrid cairn]

type with blanks for loing enough and it becomes muscle memory too. its also what i struggled with at first since i used to use a set with legends and always used to check but after about a week or two of consistent typing/searching it became muscle memory

[robust siren]

optimum blanks feel too slick

imo

[hybrid cairn]

never got the sentiment of slick keys ngl, i js dont see how slickness even works for a board

[robust siren]

yeah

[peak breach]

ayyy my pcb has shipped

[hybrid cairn]

sweet, whats the material?

[peak breach]

nono, i mean the wooting module

[small ridge]

Did I make a mistake buying the owlab ti instead of tikken switches

[tropic urchin]

No

Tikkens have slightly worse top wobble, but they both fill a similar niche of being cheap switches with decent stability and sound

There will be better ones to come out just as there was earlier this year

[small ridge]

Maybe I'll upgrade next year. Same for the case. Just finished building my 80he last week. Lubed the stabs and put in owlab switches, really like it now.

[tropic urchin]

I’d also try some new 3rd party plates if you wanna switch things up later on

[fluid ravine]

@robust siren changed my order

got the separate wooting 60he v2

should be here before christmas

hopefully

[tropic urchin]

Q5 2026 delivery finna hit hard

Any recommendations and what's the benefit?

[paper bison]

there’s no inherent benefit, it just depends on preference because it changes the way you feel the keypresses slightly and the sound

all about what you want

[tropic urchin]

It completely changes the feel and sound of the keyboard, the stock 80HE plate is made out of PC plastic which mutes a fair bit of sound (and is fairly flexible), so you can get stiffer plates that can help alter how your keyboard feels

Not a requirement, but can be fun making new builds

[small ridge]

I Care mostly about performance and sound is a bonus, I don't think i'll change the plate. Maybe better switches and a case

Nothing crazy currently. Plastic case, pbt fans bow keycaps, handlubed stock stabs and owlab switches

Spacebarfoam aswell

[robust siren]

performance of the keyboard for HE mostly just comes from the pcb

unless you consider stability to be one of them

you want good quality under 100 dolla? Or poo poo quality

i know some printed keycap sets

[fluid ravine]

DCX is similar to GMK in terms of plastic quality, sound, and feel iirc

It's been a while since I discussed about it

[fluid ravine]

If you want thick PBT key caps instead

[small ridge]

I dropped it last week ffs so there is some paint chipped

[small ridge]

Id say switches effect Performances aswell, but marginaly. Cant play with a 40g switch with 0,1mm, bit too light, but i guess for some its "better"

[sonic sierra]

after all this time finally decided on some diff switches for my 80HE... TTC Dragon Lords

priorities - durability > stability > performance > sound

[red aurora]

Thinking of going with a set of crazed cerakeys for my v2, QC on them got any better?

[edgy creek]

Hi, is wooting60hev2 using the same plate like 60he+? I have a custom 60he plate, can I use it to my 60hev2 module? Thx!

[tulip rapids]

no 60v2 is using fr4 plate

[edgy creek]

Sry my expression is unclear, is the V2 plate still GH60? Do i need to get a new plate

[tulip rapids]

@edgy creek

hopefully this helps you

i go sleep

[fluid ravine]

this is for case compatibility lol
they're asking if the plate from the 60he and 60he+ are still compatible with the v2

[tulip rapids]

you even click the link to see plate mounting options.

[fluid ravine]

weh

[tulip rapids]

why dont you help the dude out instead causing friction then

i go to sleep

[fluid ravine]

cus i dont know myself

gn

[tulip rapids]

what a surpise

[edgy creek]

kk goku gn

my case actually not on this list

[edgy creek]

Yes buddy

Is it still compatible with 60hev2?

[little glen]

I dont think we actually know the standoff spots for the v2

But i would assume it most likely is still compatible with normal spacebar v2

[hushed stirrup]

Jade deltas are so tight that some switches i got were catching

Probably fixable by mashing it for a week

[edgy creek]

Thank you

[hushed stirrup]

Much more stable than duhuk hertz but i dont have another point of reference

They practically dont wobble

[sacred elm]

Guessing your custom plate has removable standoffs? If so, yes, but not fully. You won't be able to install the top right standoff, because the location is different on V2. It should still work fine without it though.
Wooting's PC plate isn't compatible with the V2, because standoffs aren't removable.

[edgy creek]

Yes, it’s has removable standoffs

[sacred elm]

Good 👍 Just don't install the top right standoff and you'll be good.

[edgy creek]

Yes sir! Perfect

[hushed stirrup]

i just finished putting it into a gt80 and it sounds even creamier

[glacial wind]

oh i got deltas todays actually, so i can record a sound test later

they do be kind of sharp though, i don't know how much average person enjoy them

[hushed stirrup]

yea not sure if its because i also changed to fr4 at the same time

[cloud crane]

My friend likes delta a lot

[hushed stirrup]

they feel great but sound is subjective ig

gateron factory lube looked like they just squirted on it i had to wipe some off the stem

some switches are still scratchy and catching a little cause of the really tight tolerances but it should break in after a week

[cloud crane]

Scratch is an acquired taste

[hushed stirrup]

i dont mind it if it means i get maximum stability

[steel ibex]

geon raws still a decent switch or are there better options with a similar osund profile

[little glen]

listen through the db

[glacial wind]

my xueyao unionwell fully enclosed split stems are here too

sound seems much improved from the previous unionwells

[hushed stirrup]

whats the benefits of split stems?

[glacial wind]

Technically they could be more stable at magnetic accuracy on bottom out

[sacred elm]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/984799440072220692/1444359823817965800/swi.mp4?ex=6938f2a8&is=6937a128&hm=4ce7cfdbe61eb2e0b3e3a6b3960e5f4e56556e62c2f56fed03e3f614ddabc96a&

[glacial wind]

As the idea is that the bottom doesn’t wobble but top absorbs any wobble

[calm cypress]

How should i mod my wooting 80he to make it sound more thocky?

[humble surge]

i guess we will try them out

yay

[craggy light]

How hard would EVA 01 keycaps go on a purple Alumaze60

[hushed stirrup]

interesting so the inner stem with the magnet can have super tight tolerances so it only goes up and down while the top stem allows for some movement when its pressed at an angle or something

weird question, wonder if anyone here knows:
I just got my GMK Dolch R5x set (for the 60HE v2), and what are these three keycaps? Are they logo/mascot for something?
I tried reverse image search as well as asking AI but no answer

[proven wadi]

i like the "TTC Honey King HE Switch" its prolly my favourite atm 🙂

[tropic urchin]

They’re a decent first switch if you don’t know what you want without breaking the bank

[gray shoal]

i have bought the Jade Gaming switches and an after market cherry profile keycap set. I just saw online that the switches and key caps might not fit well because the LEDs are north facing. is that an actual problem and will i have to put my switches south facing or is it not an issue?

[robust siren]

not an issue

Where can i get foam thingys

[paper bloom]

What case you got?

and whats ur sandwich like the pcb inbetween

[graceful wasp]

Normal 60HE+

[tropic urchin]

Nothing you lube is permanent for switches

[graceful wasp]

Where can i get that

[tropic urchin]

But a creamy profile isn’t possible for HE

The closest you’ll get is overlubing your switches a little bit but that won’t last for longer than a few days til it breaks in

[tropic urchin]

Krytox 205g

And if you wanna save some time and bag lube I’d get some super lube if you have that or a 105g equivalent should be fine

If you’re not sure where to look, I’d use this site aggregator and put in your region: #🪛│modding_faq message

I just want a board

[stoic ocean]

So where are the TTC KOM v2??

[glacial wind]

They’re already out, I ordered them yesterday

But only one of the versions

The full split stem version isn’t ready yet

[rotund perch]

theres a v2?

[stoic ocean]

Yeah with the closed bottom

[glacial wind]

To be fair this one is more like v500

[small ridge]

My "q" key sounds much louder / more poppy than most other keys, "w" aswell. Is this normal? (80he). Changed the switches around with leftovers ones and jts still the same

[glacial wind]

They’ve made so many koms

[stoic ocean]

Fr

[glacial wind]

Fairly normal yeah. There’s variance in some positions of your keyboard

even things like screw holes or plate holes under the switch can change sound of specific keys

[small ridge]

Thank you

[rotund perch]

I think I'm gonna order tikkens fr4 plate and a tx switch puller soon

(hopefully) final switches I'll buy for a WHILE

[stray raptor]

does anyone know what the most 'performant' switches are?
or is it a situation where theres no real answer and everything is basically the same
i assume the biggest difference comes from the actuation force and magnets but im not knowledgable enough to tell apart the good from the bad

[glacial wind]

What do you mean by performant

[rotund perch]

basically the same but actuation force is preference theres also total travel distance but tahts also preference

nothing changes performance

[glacial wind]

Technically it can change but it’s incredibly minor

[rotund perch]

yea

[stray raptor]

alr

thanks

thats all i wanted lmao

i assumed magnetic switches kinda removed that performance aspect between switches but i just wanted confirmation

[glacial wind]

Anything with a fairly stable bottom out will already get you close to best you can get

Of which there are many many stable bottom out switches these days

[stray raptor]

oh yea that does make sense

[glacial wind]

Our keyboard will auto minimise deadzone based on switch stability, but there’s dozens upon dozens of very low wobble bottom out switches nowadays

So the days where you had like one or two specific switches are long gone

[stray raptor]

ohh thats sick, ig thats why theres no calibration on wooting like other magnetic devices have

[glacial wind]

Yeah I dare say our auto calibration is one of the more stable in the game

[stray raptor]

lol

yeah ty that does all make sense now

[calm pulsar]

sno works at twitch confirmed

[tropic urchin]

Only thing making me snoworried is the lack of DCF switch selector

[small ridge]

Didnt they add owlab? Or next update?

[trail bane]

Gn

[stuck yarrow]

Is the quality of Magnetic Jade switches good and are there better ones or comparable ones that are cheaper

[tropic urchin]

There’s a lot of better options out there now, if you want good to great performance without breaking the bank I’d look at: Raptor V2, Tikkens and owlab ti he

If you want close to max stability while sounding in the Jade ballpark I’d look at Deep clack flux on aliexpress

[analog reef]

jades generally suck, the only thing that I can glaze about them is that they're exceptionally smooth -- that's really the only good thing about them though 😔
the wobble is bad and the sound is schmeh, and I also don't think they have full travel but I could be misremembering
also they're super over priced for what they are, you can get better switches for much cheaper

i did mod the wooting 2 HE by stuffing it with lots of foam along the edges, double sticky side inside masking tape to act as an inbetween (had to cut each screw hole), and making psuedo gaskets by taping some foam strips onto the plate in a few spots

its a bit janky and ghetto, but it did bring down the high pitched noise of it

it was indeed a pain in teh ass to hand cut every piece of tape and foam to fit

without a proper foam gasket that fits the keys though, some keys sound notabnly different than therest

Gateron jade delta (light) sound test is live: https://youtube.com/shorts/hj-6EXZdSKw

overall interesting switch but nothing too crazy. They sound clean at least, top wobble is tiny bit better but not S tier, and bottom is same as most things these days) at S

the triangle stem makes wobble up down vs left to right different as well. the up/down wobbles less than left/right i assume due to triangle stem

[glacial wind]

Jade pro dual diffuser also uploaded. Nothing new there though, it's literally just jade pro with 2 diffusers for those double rgb boards

nothing much new there though sound wise. they're similar to tecsee he tactiles

Sounds okay. If what you said about stability is correct, guess it won't be that much of an upgrade from flux

it does a little bit yeah, although it's still not super see through

You can see which keys are pinkish from being dcf flux

[stiff cliff]

Are the lekker springs compatible with lekker tikken?

[sacred elm]

Yes

[stiff cliff]

Nice. With those I can get heavy lekker tikkens🤩

[hardy summit]

Is it difficult to assemble the keyboard or not? (80he module)

[craggy light]

No

[sacred elm]

No

[glacial wind]

Oh oops knew I forgot something, have to do the unionwell fully enclosed split sound test, will do that tomorrow I guess

Forgot I unpacked those into different storage already

[trail bane]

Yeee my flipkoms and keebmat has just arrived

[hardy summit]

Thnks boss

[tropic urchin]

@harsh dove @stray tiger my wired in keebmat arrives today

[jaunty urchin]

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask, Ill delete if it isn't.
Is there a list of metal cases for the 80He but specifically from Aliexpress only?
If so where can I find said list?
Currently only found the Aim Bone80.
Yes... aliexpress is my only option sadly.

[tropic urchin]

KBDfans should have an aliexpress store for GT80/holy 80 I think

But other than the Wooting plastic/zinc, GT80, Bone80, holy80 there aren’t many more cases available that weren’t there from launch

[round sparrow]

we need wooting to reach out for some collabs

i know the owlabs case is controversial, but personally i like the look of the brand

[jaunty urchin]

So I found the GT80 from their official store and it will cost me around 170$ shipped while from their website it would be 200$
While the Bone80 will be 180$.
Any opinions on this.
Or im overpaying and not worth it.
I have the PCR80he

And thank you

[stray tiger]

You'll have to let me know how you like it. I've only ever purchased the cables

[tropic urchin]

I think I ended up buying the GT80 for $130 ish roughly, but I’d say the GT80 is the best quality case for the 80HE

Might be a slight overpayment for the totals in your situation, but I think it’s worth it for the case imo

[trail bane]

Sheesh

[tropic urchin]

Never had a suede/leather mat but since cam seems to be a big fan of it, I’m pretty hype for it

[jaunty urchin]

Thanks. I just need to wait for a restock on their aliexpress site because only their red and pink case is available currently.

[long tinsel]

the 60he v2 module is the same as the 60he for friction fitting right?

[glacial wind]

Kind of, although the 60he one doesn’t have poron alpha middle part

[long tinsel]

the v2 module comes with the friction fit pre installed though right? so i should just be able to use it with my alumaze right away with no changes?

[glacial wind]

Yeah. If you want you ground it then you can screw in one screw though

But either way you don’t need to change anything in the actual module sandwich

[long tinsel]

thank you 🙏 its confusing me so much bro all ive ever done to my wooting was change the switches

[tranquil barn]

anyone know of some fairly decent keycaps on amazon? i’ve looked around on the vendor list and im just not looking to spend $150 on keycaps 😭

[glacial wind]

amazon is a bit rough to find good deals

it's mostly chinese re-sellers marking up something from aliexpress/taobao for 2-3x the price

[tranquil barn]

fair, but i do like the convenience of faster delivery on amazon. i’m just fairly new to modding keyboards and not sure how much keycaps change the sound. i’ve bought the lekker tikken medium switches from wooting and gonna do some foam/tape mods, looking to get a deeper and less hollow sound

just trying to understand if keycaps make a difference in sound or if i can pretty much get any cap set i’d like

[paper bloom]

Depends on the keycap material

and profile

[tranquil barn]

seems like i’ve got into a new rabbit hole 😂 and im about to just keep digging to find out what profile and material will best suit what i’m looking for

would’ve never guessed keyboards could get so in depth

[paper bloom]

nah it aint that depe

Deep*

Think of it like this

Whats your favorite sound of the world of keyboards, if you dont care and wanna explore id say go for it

[glacial wind]

thickness and material can change things a fair bit. Like my tikkens on my 1.7mm fbb pbt keycaps sound much deeper than deep clack flux on 1.5mm tutkeys pbt keycaps

[paper bloom]

@glacial wind Do you know of any dokibird keycaps?

OR NA

[glacial wind]

i don't know about them

[paper bloom]

shitt okay is cool

[glacial wind]

i assume they're just some dye sub collab

[paper bloom]

yea they are

But im tryna find something thats more detailed

[fallen pecan]

Pretty sure doki only has that one hyte set

[paper bloom]

BRO i need me some doki keycaps that are detailed one day 😭 cant wait

[trail bane]

They don’t play well with copper

[tranquil barn]

honestly just looking for a nice deep sound, i’ve got the 60he in a tofu60 and honestly don’t even know what kind of keycaps i’ve got currently but it sounds quite hollow

[autumn temple]

Yo how am I seeing people online getting their boards already when I bought during the founders campaign and it hasnt even been shipped out yet.

[robust siren]

for the deepest sound possible, youd probably want to get smth like ceramic keycaps or if you wanna stick with plastic, really thick pbt keycaps

and probably dyesub

[paper bloom]

What he said

[glacial wind]

The tricky thing with keycaps is you never know the formula for pbt

Some pbt brands are higher/lower percentage of pbt and you don’t know how it’ll affect the sound until you get it

[mental salmon]

Sno, besides the TIs 40g and Tikkens with 35g, 45g springs, do you know other option worth testing? I am looking for light swiches

[tropic urchin]

MMD C1s with their 38g bottom out springs should be a consideration

[robust siren]

keep in mind the initial weight is higher on the mmd c1s though

well at least compared to 40g raws

[glacial wind]

yeah there's a ton. Although some of these superlight ones mess with my typing at first

i notice it when i record sound tests. I'll suddenly be unable to type basic sentences because the press weight or distance messes with what I assume a press will feel like in my head

you can have a peek at the database and check out the different options for starting/ending force if you click on specific switch names

[sullen karma]

where can i buy these ?:))

[fair heart]

MMD C1 (one of my favorite switches overall)

[tired shard]

god damn

moving shit over to the holy 80

is

such

a

pain

swapping the plate, screwing in standoffs on the plate, then screwing the pcb onto the other side of the standoffs

[tropic urchin]

That’s what you get for talking down on soju

Divine reckoning

Amen

[rocky harbor]

has anyone tried akko astrolink switches? are they compatible with 80he?

[robust siren]

[robust siren]

its the original geon rapotor v2, so yes

[fair heart]

any magnetic switch compatible w 80he

[rocky harbor]

much ty

[robust siren]

technically incorrect

low profile HE switches are not compatable

[rocky harbor]

i hear the polarity may be differnt for some

[robust siren]

yes, maget strength varies from switch to switch

[tired shard]

My god i was not prepared for all that

[fair heart]

[tired shard]

but happy with the results, crosshair keycaps and black holy80

[rocky harbor]

Astrolink switches incorporate a downward-facing N-pole magnet so i thought it wouldnt be compatible

[robust siren]

s o j u

[tired shard]

banned

[robust siren]

look at this amazing carrying case the gt-60 comes with

that the gt-80 doesnt

[tired shard]

facts

but just imagine

[robust siren]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-smiling-cat-grey-cat-cute-cat-gif-2949633679466643461

[tired shard]

the size

essentially would be a full sized keyboard case

i personally just throw my mouse into my backpack and pray

[robust siren]

crosshair keycaps you say?

idk why ifon camera has that smudging effect on the left side

and right side actually

[rotund perch]

finally ordered the stuff

either i get lucky and both things arrive at the same day or when i get tikkens i wait for tx puller or just push switches out the plate lmao or i wait for everything

cause im gonna have to disassemble anyway

[robust siren]

tx switch puller lwk buns

i wished i got the titanium one from wuque

[rotund perch]

Dont make me regret my purchase immediately

I mean its better than some plastic one

[robust siren]

im joking, you kinda just need to figure out the optimal way to use it to actually pull out switches

or else youre just gonna struggle

[rotund perch]

ill figure it out (hopefully)

[robust siren]

oh and just pray

your plate has sucken in screws

for its standoffs
