[glacial wind]

firmware is such a tricky thing too and a lot of brands (not specifically finalmouse) just flat out lie about state of it

like that techless video that just came out where he found the mchose keyboard has a buggy floating actuation in his test

that means every keyboard that shares that same oem base firmware likely also has that bug and people just didn't know because there's an army of reviewers whose 'review' is just a glorified affiliate grab

meanwhile the army of people who blindly believe those paid/free product for positive review crew will just shout that this keyboard is the best without actually realising there's tons of issues in their firmware

[rotund perch]

clean keycaps

[paper bloom]

Thats a clean keeb

This is my final build even tho the colors dont match but o weell

I cooked still

[cyan lark]

I like the starry night theme

[paper bloom]

Bro IRL the color it matches so well

[cyan lark]

Just sassing you about the rotated image.

[paper bloom]

Like you have no idea

Oh yea

LOL

[crude zodiac]

Hey do anyone know how to fix this

[delicate fiber]

grease

[crude zodiac]

I just lubed all the stabs and the space bar still have issues I'm using a heavy space bar from cerakey and I can't figure out how to fix it

It works fine with a normal pbt space bar

[delicate fiber]

lube the metal rod, go a bit over that 90°

did you use lube or grease?

[crude zodiac]

I used grease

[delicate fiber]

now you got me questioning

[crude zodiac]

I dipped the rod in the lube and removed excess

[delicate fiber]

sound a lot like that metal wire hiting the plastic. Maybe you could put a bit of grease inside the edge of space keycap?

[cyan lark]

Looks like the cap is see-sawing. Maybe you need stem spacers on your stabilizer.

[delicate fiber]

or just those dampening pads maybe?

those tiny stickers

[crude zodiac]

it seems like the space bar i have in white fits better maybe its a fitting issue

[delicate fiber]

does the edge of spacebar actualy touch the plate?

[crude zodiac]

dosen't seem like it

[delicate fiber]

i would wonder if the stabilizer maybe got disloged or something, but you're saying it works fine with the other spacebar. Also when I had this happening it was solved the moment I put grease on that wire corners.

[robust siren]

you need spacers

[trail bane]

Fuuck all g leggeras are out of stock

[crude zodiac]

It's better now but not perfect I tried to add my lube it still does the same thing with the other space bar

[paper bloom]

Have you tried adding stem spacers or anything?

[paper bloom]

OH

[grave lodge]

hi are these swiitches compatible with the wooting 80HE

[paper bloom]

This you need stem spacers

[paper bloom]

Yes they are

Woi bro dun get that leh go and cop the Flux's if you wan

[grave lodge]

ogayy tysm

[crude zodiac]

i don't have any do u have a link to some for now ill just go with the white one

[paper bloom]

I use jade b4 that one is ass not as stable as jade pro

[grave lodge]

ouh fr

[paper bloom]

@grave lodge #🪛│modding_faq Go refer get RAWS or the owlTI

deadass bruh

[grave lodge]

shit oright tysm

[paper bloom]

[paper bloom]

Where you from?

[paper bloom]

👍

[robust siren]

https://geon.works/products/geon-stem-spacer?_pos=1&_sid=007b53dab&_ss=r

if youre US, dont buy from here

idk how much shipping from korea -> whereever you are costs

https://deltakeyco.com/products/geon-stem-spacer

[crude zodiac]

Crush 80: cerakey ceramic keycaps
Lubed Durock ice king 62G Linear
tape mod 2 layers
PP plate
3 layers of foam (idk what is what since it came with the crush 80 u can check it on their site)

[robust siren]

tbh this one just sounds like you need to balance your stabilizer wires

https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8

[crude zodiac]

i took them out and relubed them and put them back on they sound nice in the video above

i used a lot more lube this time since the space bar is so heavy

[paper bloom]

The last one with the snap was crazy also ive built my new 60HE https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1449046367355015299

[paper bloom]

I think you overlubed it just watch out for that

[robust siren]

get a keyboard mat

or SOMETHING under that keyboard

[paper bloom]

LOL

[paper bloom]

I do have a suisei deskmat

[crude zodiac]

it sounds fine now i think

[paper bloom]

BUT na i aint copping that

Gotta save some $$$

[crude zodiac]

yeah but i think it works because this sapce bar is 21 grams and need at least a 60g switvh to even work

[grave lodge]

these are the ones right

[robust siren]

this one does sound a better than the others

[robust siren]

dont buy it from official website

[rotund perch]

buy them from aliexpress

[paper bloom]

Yah buy from ali

[grave lodge]

ouh

[paper bloom]

I agree

A hell've a lot better

[grave lodge]

ic ic tyty

[robust siren]

@grave lodge

[paper bloom]

Time to cop this next week

Or idk

[grave lodge]

woah tysm

[robust siren]

keep in mind some are cheaper than other initially but some of the stores have shipping fees

just check out each and see which one has fees and which one dont

[grave lodge]

ahh oright

[peak breach]

Do you have to remove the front lip of the owlabs case to insert the pcb?

Cause the 3 screws are not coming out

[lime yew]

Yes

[lime yew]

Did you manage?

[peak breach]

Yeah, i managed to get the pcb in without removing the frontlip

Those tiny screws suck

[peak breach]

Anyways redline build is done

Ignore the fact fn is on the wrong spot

[chilly mural]

there's no correct spot, only G spot.

[peak breach]

My 3 boards

[robust siren]

lwk kinda smart, i might steal your idea and slap one of my drink buttons for the middle spacebar

[little glen]

Some more quick pictures

[robust siren]

finally someone else with the gt60

[little glen]

I did have to take out the friction fit for it

Couldnt get it to fit otherwise

[glad venture]

so the module v2 doesnt come with a EDPM for below the pcb. any suggestions on where to buy one people?

[robust siren]

yeah i confirmed a while ago it wouldnt fit

[cyan lark]

What case is that, @little glen ?

[robust siren]

kbdfans gt60

[little glen]

^

[robust siren]

anodized silver

like mine

[little glen]

I need to redo the stabs tbh

Maybe i‘ll do that now

[robust siren]

rear of the case

lovely

[little glen]

Yeah i like the back of it quite a bit

[robust siren]

are you using foam in the case? im not

it sounds perfectly fine without it imo

[little glen]

No foam

[calm cypress]

Looking good? First time using tape mod

[cyan lark]

y'all gotta rotate your pics

yes, looks like you're doing the thing tho

[robust siren]

just dont forget to cut out a hole for the jst connector

[calm cypress]

Like this?

[robust siren]

sure, that works

[craggy light]

for those who have more knowledge: what are some of the best sounding he switches that are the standard rn

[tulip rapids]

@craggy light

[ionic breach]

top row in that list imo

anything else you can ignore if you dont know what you want

[craggy light]

owlab ti seem the best option based on performance and price no?

[ionic breach]

yea imo

[robust siren]

you can get fluxes for a lot cheaper than offical pricing

[ionic breach]

lekker tikkens are great value as well if ur getting a discount with a wooting

[glacial wind]

i'd basically ignore performance vs price

[craggy light]

aliexpress or some other specific place

[glacial wind]

'performance' differences aren't really performance differences

[robust siren]

yeah

[glacial wind]

it's just different priorities in how you like stems to feel

[ionic breach]

tikkens are like 70c a switch?

[ionic breach]

nvm more like 1

[glacial wind]

for example the UFO is an S top and S bottom wobble switch, but it'd also fail if you were someone who cared about switch feel

so the stability metric is purely just stability ignoring all feel

it could feel awful and grade high, it doesn't mean you want to just purely see "oh this is A+" or "oh this is S! It must better!"

end of the day the reality is everything that's at least around an A-ish and above are perfectly good enough stability wise and you start getting into peoples preferences of feel vs stability vs sound at that point

[craggy light]

when i ordered my wooting the other day i chose to go with geon raw but i would like to try out fluxes too so might get them

geons are also nice tho, i like them

[glacial wind]

and geons are a B-ish btw

[craggy light]

damn

[glacial wind]

which further explains why you shouldn't go too far into stability only

[glacial wind]

i put the grades there to let people know how the stem wobbles, but stem wobble is by far not the most important metric for everyone

[craggy light]

would you say that swapping fluxes for geons will be a noticeable difference

[sacred elm]

Can't go wrong with Fluxes, they still feel great despite having almost no bottom wobble

[glacial wind]

flux are a nice all rounder, which is why they're there yeah

[sacred elm]

Yes and the difference won't be small

[gritty sleet]

I did use lekker v2 and swapped to UR ultra ice and they feel so frkin Amazing + sound really nice

[craggy light]

ty guys, the 60he v2 is my first he keyboard so im not very educated when it comes to he switches

[humble surge]

No worries, you can slowly get there

[glacial wind]

take some time and listen to some sound tests too

they're all there on our database

you'll start to understand and hear sound differences and find out what you like

[craggy light]

thankfully we got a nice community here willing to help at all times

[humble surge]

You can also just order a few pieces of the switches you wanna try and try in person before buying a set.
The best way to know if you will enjoy them feel/sound/stability wise.

[craggy light]

i will order either fluxes or owlab ti

[tulip rapids]

i went from geon raws to owlabs to deep clack fluxes

deep clack fluxes was the best money i spent on switches

geon raws sound nice but the stem wobble is horrible

owlabs were good but too bright sounding for me

one switch developed a crunch

[craggy light]

damn exactly the type of unput i needed

i will go straight to fluxes then

ty bossman

[tulip rapids]

i got my fluxes from those aliexpress links

[craggy light]

70 switches for less than 54 euros

[tropic urchin]

Owlabs are good if you can’t make flux pricing work at their Aliexpress $1 per switch price, but if you can they’re a no brainer imo

[tulip rapids]

if 54 euros is too much for you you can wait for christmas sales

unless it already started

[craggy light]

i dont mind but thats not a bad call

[tropic urchin]

There’s a few other vendors

Lemme get the link

I’d try price swapping and see which vendor gets you the best deal

[craggy light]

powerpuff girls store it is

they seem to have the best price

[cyan lark]

Despite their name, they're legit.

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-smile-cute-gif-9058942526296732541

[glacial wind]

That’s powerpuff girls slander

It’s a great name and brand. One of the great cartoons back in the day

[tulip rapids]

@robust siren wheres the 60v2 sound test with the deep clack ?

[robust siren]

i dont have it yet

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-meme-laughing-gif-lol-funny-loud-laugh-gif-7926424135311815001

[robust siren]

shut it or else you become french

[tulip rapids]

you dont have such power

[craggy light]

btw link on the powerpuff girls store says pink flux, there are no other fluxes right

they just labeled them like that for no reason

[tulip rapids]

theres white ones but thats not deep clack

the pink are deep clack

[craggy light]

oh aight

[tulip rapids]

thats the one you want

[tropic urchin]

There’s the white OGs, but you want the pink

The originals are even more powerful sounding than owlabs

[fluid ravine]

And I'm still waiting for a buyer for my fluxes

[craggy light]

aight i ordered 70 pcs of the fluxes, now we wait

also purple coiled cable otw for the purple alumaze so we cooking

[tropic urchin]

Lavender purple? 👀

[craggy light]

yessir

[tropic urchin]

A man of fine taste

Lavender purple GenG

[stray tiger]

Can I be honest with you. This is absolutely triggering my OCD

[tropic urchin]

What do you want fixed

[tropic urchin]

Is it the DAC setup/how the wires are?

[stray tiger]

You have a scooped F and a bar J

[tropic urchin]

Lmaooo ah ic now

The scooped F is very deliberate

But the reasoning is very esoteric unless you’ve played Classic WoW warrior

F is scooped so I know where my finger is when I’m stance swapping

[stray tiger]

Hey I dont hate on scoop lovers, but you CAN'T mix them

[tropic urchin]

Well I can and I did

Technically I could scoop J too but I liked having them different since I have no scooped J need

The F is very specific function

[cyan lark]

Bars4life

[tulip rapids]

how you scoop a keycap?

[tropic urchin]

I chiseled it

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/hammer-through-wall-dumb-wall-gif-18326556

You got fingers don't ya?

[tropic urchin]

If my FGH keys weren’t for F for Battle Stance, G defensive and H berserker stance, then both would be bars

[stray tiger]

He only has thumbs

[tropic urchin]

Having both bars confused my finger positioning so I did scoop so I knew where I am

[cyan lark]

I'm... sorry I didn't know 😳

[tulip rapids]

brave for you to assume i actually use my toes

[ionic breach]

none

[cyan lark]

Tongue typing or are you even trying?

[stray tiger]

With Clair Obscur winning GotY I feel like I need to just buy it and stop wondering if I'll like it..

[cyan lark]

I did this morning

[tropic urchin]

That’s how I am with BG3

[cyan lark]

same reason

[tropic urchin]

But I need to stop restarting every 3-4 hrs after not playing for 1-2 months

[cyan lark]

well, that and it went on slight sale

[stray tiger]

Oh I bought that during the initial EA release and have played it through 3 or 4 times. Excellent game

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/tmnt-michelangelo-licking-mlem-slurp-gif-12652970603117167655

bg3 has been a blast yea

[tulip rapids]

ngl i dont like that game

[ionic breach]

tho i bought elden ring, died once to the first mob and stopped playing

[cyan lark]

^ shame

[tulip rapids]

bought it for full price. It a good game but isnt for me

[tulip rapids]

[tropic urchin]

[ionic breach]

Digging deep pretty early on a Friday

[ionic breach]

i think i just hate rolling

[tropic urchin]

You’re technically not supposed to battle the golden boi off rip unless you’re like me with scooped F and Bar J keys

[cyan lark]

You have to die to him 3-5x on every playthrough

it's tradition

[tropic urchin]

You can play an easier game like Sekiro

[tulip rapids]

i bought elden ring but my 5800x cpu was giving me crazy micro stutters so i refunded it but now with my am5 setup....Ima get a maiden

[ionic breach]

just got hades 2 and free harry potters

[tropic urchin]

I needa beat the original hades and play that one

[young viper]

Original Hades was amazing

[ionic breach]

so ill throw souls games into like 2027 or smt

[cyan lark]

both are amazing

[tulip rapids]

i refunded that game because there was no check points icl

[cyan lark]

what, hades?

[young viper]

Hey if I decided to swap out all my springs In the tikkens for 100's, I'd have to go and re-lube every switch too right😭

[ionic breach]

ur meant to lose

[cyan lark]

it checkpoints literally every room in both of them

[tropic urchin]

I will also say the DLC makes the base game look like weenie hut jrs, but it’s also some of the most magical experience in gaming I’ve had in a very long time

[tulip rapids]

didnt feel like spawning all the way back after going through multiple levels

[young viper]

The rogue lite game😭

[cyan lark]

i mean you can't go back if you die, sure

that's just... how the game be

[ionic breach]

i really like dashing i just hate rolling

[tulip rapids]

yeah i never said it was a bad game

[tropic urchin]

Just don’t be bad, Canadian

[tulip rapids]

i see why people enjoyed it

[cyan lark]

nah just trying to understand what was bothering you 😄

[ionic breach]

3rd person camera rolling is sickening

i cannot lie

[tulip rapids]

honestly bro living in canada is another stress

i dont got time for hades spawning me all the way back

[cyan lark]

Imagine living under it

[ionic breach]

its like playing rocket league

[tulip rapids]

[cyan lark]

I wouldn't say I'm excited for you to experience your first financial crisis but...

[tawny wagon]

[tulip rapids]

do i leave the save zone and go down into the pvp area (usa) or travel to europe and enjoy good food but suffer in other ways

idk yet

[ionic breach]

it means the group its in is getting packed

[tropic urchin]

It’s called buying the dip and making money on other people’s overreactions

[cyan lark]

yes.

[tropic urchin]

What was Covid then

[ionic breach]

disguised gambling

[tropic urchin]

I mean it is government sanctioned gambling to a degree

[ionic breach]

[tulip rapids]

[ionic breach]

i did that for fun when i started investing

[cyan lark]

sorry bud

My portfolio is up over 40% because of that

[tulip rapids]

ty for your service

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I got some nice FXAIX shares out of it, but wish I sold more MM shares in April for more gains 🥀

[ionic breach]

lol its mandatory here

[olive yew]

I cashed out everything right before April 1st and rebought on the crash. He even warned us it was gonna cause panic. Like anyone that’s informed could’ve made bank.

Even after all the capital gains taxes, it was so worth it

[cyan lark]

Just... be careful. You'll find another case where you thought you were informed and get duped hard.

I'd only be comfortable making big calls as a politician that gets to somehow legally insider trade.

[olive yew]

I don’t think we’ll see another crash like that from tariffs alone during the next 4 years. It was a shock to those that didn’t take him seriously.

[tropic urchin]

You have to take the emotion out of it and look at the bigger picture, which alot of investors didn’t do and shouted from the roof tops “it’s different this time!” And low and behold it wasn’t

[cyan lark]

lo* and behold

[tropic urchin]

It was at a low so it shall remain

[olive yew]

100%

[ionic breach]

isnt manu jobs in us like down ever since tariffs?

[cyan lark]

Hard to know, they stopped generating the job reports when they stopped liking what they said.

[ionic breach]

seems so, 5 straight months -50k at least

but yea no job reports is kinda cooked

[olive yew]

Trading has been my main source of income since 2017. I guess you could consider 2013 because that’s when I started investing in bitcoin but bitcoin didn’t really take off until around 2017. I still remember repaying a buddy for a pizza with a whole bitcoin back in 2013 😭😂

[ionic breach]

did he keep it?

[olive yew]

Prob not

I mined so many back then

[tropic urchin]

Too young for Bitcoin, too young before Amazon exploded 🥀

[tulip rapids]

you get your 60v2 yet?

[cyan lark]

Tuesday

[tulip rapids]

you deserve it right now king

[cyan lark]

Hey thanks bud

[tulip rapids]

not chewesday

[cyan lark]

The anticipation is usually the best part anyway

[vernal haven]

Anyone else noticed with the 60 V2 and OW60 case, there's no space for added case foam?

Am struggling to fit the foam inside the case :/

[glacial wind]

it's not meant to have foam

if you try to force foam into case not designed for it then your usb port isn't going to align properly

[scarlet rock]

sooo i have my v2 module and nothing else

guess im breaking down my v1 for now until everything else arrives

[vernal haven]

Ohhh, I just assumed it's meant too, as the packaging includes a single poron strip

[vernal haven]

Do you have any recommendations on how to make the board not sound so hollow?

just finished building

[glacial wind]

that's kind of just how it sounds in metal cases. If you don't have spacebar foam that's a big one for most people

[vernal haven]

but it sounds extremely hollow compared to my 60he+

yeah, got some spacebar foam, anything i can use for elsewhere?

[glacial wind]

was your 60he+ plastic? Plastic sounds more thunky and less hollow than metal cases, but people just buy metal cases normally because it looks/feels cooler lol

[vernal haven]

i've already got some haimu dove's on their way... maybe erm, switch pads?

[vernal haven]

was built in a tofu redux metal case

i think switch pads could help maybe

[glacial wind]

ah redux, yeah that's a very different case

[vernal haven]

and haimu switches too

[glacial wind]

especially with the weight. redux is that chunk of metal block kind of sound

[vernal haven]

i really like the ow60 case

very true

[glacial wind]

don't do switch pads, it messes with HE

[vernal haven]

oh? I've heard different

will keep that in mind

[glacial wind]

you get a lot of inaccuracy with switch pads

[vernal haven]

maybe a tape mod underneath the pre-installed?

[glacial wind]

the people who do it normally do it accepting that their wooting won't be as accurate

v2 is already tap modded, although you can try adding more if you want

[vernal haven]

I have some painters tape around, I'll give that a go, do you have any other recommendations?

(really appreciate your help btw) 🙂

[glacial wind]

honestly almost all the typical mods are already pre done so there's not a ton left to do lol

like normally people would do pet film and foam alpha mod for example, but both are included stock now

[vernal haven]

my thoughts exactly

sucks that the ow60 doesn't have room for case foam

that's a definite bummer

[glacial wind]

you could try that stuff thockfather loves

[sacred elm]

Did you install this foam on the back of the PCB?

[vernal haven]

i'll try new switches, add some spacebar foam, swap my keycaps for cerakeys set

[vernal haven]

with the ow60 case, there's not enough room to add extra foam

misaligns the usb port

[sacred elm]

Yes, remove the v2 pre-installed tape mod and install sticky OW60 foam

[glacial wind]

you might be able to use that if you maybe take off the standoffs first

you just can't put it on over everything else is the thing

[vernal haven]

the standoffs? as in the foam pieces sticking up?

[glacial wind]

there's rubber stopper things

[vernal haven]

o.O

[glacial wind]

the grey rubber dome things on the bottom

[vernal haven]

are those the flimsy bits

[glacial wind]

those can be pulled out

[vernal haven]

the super squishy bits on the bottom case?

[glacial wind]

the squishy bits on bottom of your v2 pcb sticking out of the tape mod

[craggy light]

the feet

[vernal haven]

ah okay, i'll give that a go!

[vernal haven]

Do you reckon this will give a deeper and less hollow sound > the preinstalled tape mod?

[sacred elm]

I don't have OW60 so can't answer. You can try it and see which one you like more. Can always reapply stock v2 tape mod later, if you don't like OW60 foam.

[vernal haven]

ahh okay, good to know that it can be reinstalled

[craggy light]

the negative is that you have to reapply the mod every time you unscrew and screw

[vernal haven]

fantastic!

i see

[glacial wind]

just be careful with removing tape mod and such

[vernal haven]

i will try removing standoffs and add the foam also

[glacial wind]

do that gently lol

[vernal haven]

give that a go

and then see what happens 😄

thanks for the help guys, really appreciate it

[glacial wind]

i've seen some people who were not gentle and the photos of bits of keyboard sticking to tape mod is not nice to see

[vernal haven]

as for the typing experience, the 60 v2 + ow60 is amazing combo 😄

[vernal haven]

oh sugar, will be careful for sure then 👍

[craggy light]

any of you replaced the stock stabilizers on 60he v2

[scarlet rock]

yea

[glacial wind]

i replaced some, kept some the same

honestly stabs a lot less of a worry with v2 due to split (for those with split anyway)

no large spacebar made it way easier to not have a slightly funky spacebar

[craggy light]

if i were to replace them, which ones should i aim for

[scarlet rock]

SW Knights

[glacial wind]

it's the last post in faq channel

[scarlet rock]

but youll need 2 sets for the split

[glacial wind]

has a list of recommendations

but like fang mentioned just be aware split means needing more stabs

[scarlet rock]

$30 on stabs...

[glacial wind]

i'll be updating that graphic probably next week to include the extra stabs needed and also noting the deal with long pole i think

[craggy light]

no worries, i have the regular option not split

[scarlet rock]

whats with the long pole?

[glacial wind]

just that some people look for long pole stabs still, when you don't really need that anymore

since stem spacers do the same thing

i want to make that image more visual too, like the v2 vs v1 differences one i made, but it's a bit tricky to do with stabs

[little glen]

used the typeplus stabs on my v2

good stabs

[feral grail]

Minor nitpick, but one of the arrows coming from the stab screw description is pointing towards a plate screw

[tall hollow]

Oh wack

Super wack even

[robust siren]

[tall hollow]

Clearly that was designed on a monday morning lmaooooo

[polar fjord]

If I'm installing my wooting 60he v2 module in a tofu 60 redux case do I need any standoffs and if so which ones?

[chilly mural]

Wooting fell off frfr

[trail bane]

1 pack of 100%* Typeplus stabs will cover Split 60hev2 with extra 2 stabs

[glacial wind]

should clarify he means the big set of typeplus

if you buy the small pack it will not have enough stabs

[scarlet rock]

oh the v2 is a little more snugged fit than the v1 friction silicone

[trail bane]

Gn

[scarlet rock]

gn

[craggy light]

does adding more layers of tape make a bigger difference in sound

saw some of you guys have like 3 layers

[stuck yarrow]

Whats the cheapest seller for WS Flux Switches in EU. All the Links earlier were for other regions

[craggy light]

i bought a set of 70 for 54€ earlier today from powerpuff girls link

[rough hedge]

The links are typically from aliexpress, which has the cheapest prices and ship to eu

[stuck yarrow]

Which country you live in?

[craggy light]

Netherlands

[stuck yarrow]

How much is 90? Probably like 80 right?

[craggy light]

Check the link, it will convert to euro and go through the different options

[stuck yarrow]

Link isnt working cause of Region restrictions. If I look on Ali Express myself I get 35 for 70€ which is crazy

[craggy light]

which country

2 euro per switch is insane

[glacial wind]

EU is a bit tricky.

most of those stores don't work for EU

[stuck yarrow]

Germany

[sacred elm]

Yeah, those stores aren't available in Germany. Get different switches

[stuck yarrow]

Anything comparable to them?

[oak jewel]

Send me some 🥸

pls

Or the gravastars if you dont want them 🥸

[glacial wind]

doesn't our TW office have a ton of them? I remember kang said we had a ton of deep clack sent over

you just need to bribe kang

[polar fjord]

If I'm installing my wooting 60he v2 module in a tofu 60 redux case do I need any standoffs and if so which ones?

[sacred elm]

Check this out https://link.wooting.io/soundtests, you'll probably find something.

[glacial wind]

it should just friction fit in fine. If you want to ground it electrically you can pick one of the tray mount screws to screw in (most pick right top corner)

[polar fjord]

So I just drop it in no standoffs no screws?

[sacred elm]

Install the golden standoff in this location, place the v2 module in the case, and screw in the screw in the top right corner.

[gritty sleet]

Ich habe das hier gerade auf AliExpress gefunden: 18,56€ | Wuque Studio WS Flux HE Switch Pink Linear Deep Clacky Sound 35gf Magnetschalter Feine Schmierung für Hall-Effekt-Tastatur
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwDEmTE
90 Switches for 65,99€

[polar fjord]

That would prop the board up at a weird angle no?

Oh wait I see what you are saying now

[sacred elm]

It doesn't have to be tight, so no

[oak jewel]

I just spent a week+ with him in budapest and he said nothing

[scarlet rock]

any recommendation on what to use the middle button on the split for

[oak jewel]

Depends on the game honestly

Or you mean general use?

For typing, using it to access your Fn layer is probably best usecase

[chilly mural]

if the knob is here right now, I would've put it there and use it as mouse's scroll wheel

[scarlet rock]

knob?

[chilly mural]

https://wooting.io/knobs

[scarlet rock]

does it like replaces a switch?

[chilly mural]

yes

[scarlet rock]

oooo

i want

[chilly mural]

any place where you place the lekker you can place the small knob in.

It's not coming Q1 though

[scarlet rock]

o rip

[chilly mural]

It's fine, also means I have to delay my 60hev2 purchuse since I wanna save shipping money getting this and the keeb at the same time.

[scarlet rock]

i just got my v2 today

it feels weird using the split

my thumb placement on the spacebar normally is right on that gap

does the original wooting cable work for the 8khz polling

[polar fjord]

is it weird or unusally for my actuation point in wootility to flash from 0.25 to 0.9mm rapidly?

and when i set it below 1mm it just spams the f and j keys

[sacred elm]

Not normal, replug the keyboard

[glacial wind]

If you pressed a key when plugging in for example it can cause weird stuff like that because it calibrates with it pressed

That’s why first suggestion is usually to replug to see

[polar fjord]

more of the same

think i fixed it

[hearty pivot]

Bro I'm so cooked how do I put together this stabilizer 😭

What am I doing

[scarlet rock]

soo stab one end into the opening, that is not the side with the screw and clip it into the hook

also unscrew the screw, it goes after you put it on the pcb

@hearty pivot https://youtu.be/usNx1_d0HbQ?t=453

or just watch this

[hearty pivot]

I can't find the opening 😭

I'm so lost

[scarlet rock]

thats the opening

[scarlet rock]

you gotta put the stem back in

[hearty pivot]

I got the stem back in but I'm even more confise

[scarlet rock]

Follow the video

[hearty pivot]

I'm trying but he just like teleports it in somewhere

I don't feel any clicks no matter how much. I twist it

Like hro 😭😭 like is not clicking

[scarlet rock]

Yea slide it down then slide it back into the mini hooks

[hearty pivot]

Omg I did it

[scarlet rock]

Nice

Now do the same for the other side

[hearty pivot]

How the fuck am I supposed to do that with it lubed 😭

I had to finger all over that shit to click it in

[scarlet rock]

It takes practice

[hearty pivot]

Could I lube this without taking it out or nah

[scarlet rock]

You can

[hearty pivot]

I feel like there's enough room

[scarlet rock]

Just slide the brush between the stem and housing

[hearty pivot]

I presume I have to do the same with another one

💔

[scarlet rock]

Yea

For all 5 stabs

[hearty pivot]

Set one of stabilizers finished

How do I screw it in💀

Or is that in the video

[sacred elm]

https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8

[hearty pivot]

Does this look right or did I screw it the wrong way

Bro this doesn't look right at all 😭

[rough hedge]

Its upside down. The wire should be on the bottom

[robust siren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Yz-UzTY8_I

good ol trusty

one of the best stab tutorials

[hearty pivot]

If I do it like that then this clip doesn't go in 💔😭

It doesn't go flush

Bro another tutorial 😭

[robust siren]

@hearty pivot

[rough hedge]

You're supposed to clip it in before your screw it. It should snap into place

[hearty pivot]

I think I did it

Only 4 million more to go

[robust siren]

are you sure that stab is lubed

[hearty pivot]

meh

[robust siren]

[hearty pivot]

ik I lubed it but

idk how much to put

I'm kinda scared about putting a lot because PTSD from my old stab

I over lubed it somehow and it made like a fart noise permanently

Everytime I press it

[robust siren]

LMAO

[cyan lark]

That's just its love language

[hearty pivot]

I assume I set this spacebar up wrong

😐😐

[robust siren]

no the spacebar is correct

yes ik its weird

[hearty pivot]

I thought u said it had to be on the bottom

[robust siren]

give me like

20 minutes

@hearty pivot

[remote shard]

any good way to look for keycaps that are compatible with the split space bar?

[glacial wind]

Mostly just look at the overall config photo and see if they offer split keys. Usually if you see split keys then it’s compatible since everyone tends to offer 2.25 and 2.75 sized bits in their split options

The trickier part is the 1.25u key sometimes isn’t there

So you want to look for sets that have a blank or spare 1.25u key of some sort

Often I end up using a novelty or similar for that key

[remote shard]

Yeah I am having a hard time finding the 1.25 so far. Using a novelty is a good idea tho

[hearty pivot]

I lost a washer

Is that fine

[robust siren]

yeah

it really doesnt matter much

[hearty pivot]

ok

[stark helm]

can anyone help me fix my wooting 60 he

i alr asked in the actual channels but im js wondering if anyone here can help me

[granite onyx]

no

[sacred elm]

Don't comment then

[distant raven]

So on switches, I really do like the additional travel of the Lekker Tikken. I also am happy with the sound of the Lekker Tikken as delivered in the 60 HEV2 in its factory configuration.

However, I'd like very much to find a true full 4.0mm travel switch with a bit more stability.

Does anyone know of anything like that, or shall I just stick with the Lekker Tikken?

(As a comparison, my 80HE has the Wooting x TTC KOM POM and I like the stability on that better.

[sacred elm]

There's this one - Drunkdeer Qian

[distant raven]

Thanks, I'll take a look at it.

Lekker Tikkens aren't bad stability just not great on top.

[feral grail]

qian is even worse on top

[sacred elm]

Ah, if Tikken's top wobble bothers you, Qian has worse top wobble due to split stem design.

[distant raven]

It's not terrible, just not quite as stable as the KOM POM.

[cyan lark]

Tikkens have a decent shot of making a splash for my work setup. Extra travel for when I'm just typing.

[hearty pivot]

I'm gonna go insane I can't put back the fucking keyboard

I've looked up tutorials but the damn foam just isn't making it work

[robust siren]

wdym

send pictures

with your issues

[fluid ravine]

i lowk dont know where to set my expectations for the tikkens rn

[hearty pivot]

Foam isn't letting me screw in all 8

Cause I have no idea how to get it even

[fluid ravine]

flip

[robust siren]

its upside down..

[fluid ravine]

yeah

[robust siren]

[fluid ravine]

[hearty pivot]

what

[robust siren]

flip it

[hearty pivot]

I did it just made it worse

[fluid ravine]

these two are suppose to align

just sayin

[hearty pivot]

That don't look right to me

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[robust siren]

[hearty pivot]

I flipped it the right way but like no matter how I move it I can only get 5/8 screwed in

[fluid ravine]

?

[hearty pivot]

The rest are just way too far off no matter how I move it

[fluid ravine]

what is it like rn?

[robust siren]

wdym

[hearty pivot]

Like to screw one in the bottom I have to push the keyboard up

But pushing it up stops me from screwing another one in

[robust siren]

dont tighten the screw immediately

make sure theyre all in and then tighten

[hearty pivot]

Yeah that's not gonna help they're still on two different levels

I literally have to move the entire keyboard down to screw in a bottom one

That one works, but then the one below it I have to move the keyboard up to screw that in, which in turn causes the original one to be unscrewabke

This is how I have the foam pattern

[fluid ravine]

ok well this is correct

all you gotta do is put the pcb face down ontop of the plate as is and align everything then screw it in

[hearty pivot]

I'm slow asf

[fluid ravine]

oh 😭

[hearty pivot]

I had it like stabilizer side up

💀💀💀

[fluid ravine]

yeah...

[hearty pivot]

I the PCB around and it instantly clicked

[fluid ravine]

you got it now righta?

[hearty pivot]

I lost a screw in the process but yeah

[fluid ravine]

nice

[robust siren]

[fluid ravine]

well

[hearty pivot]

No idea where that John went is 7/8 fine

[fluid ravine]

atlesat you got it

😭

[hearty pivot]

The spacebar sounds pretty weird

[cyan lark]

Well that recording damn near guarantees I'm having nightmares tonight

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine

bro how is this working

[hearty pivot]

Bro I am nkt redoing all that

Im settling

I'm so tired 😭

I'm pissed that took me like 4 bours

[cyan lark]

Take a break

[kind helm]

wtf 0.0 ?!

[hearty pivot]

So depressing

I put in all that work just for it to fail 💔💔

[sullen salmon]

hey guys, i bought a pom plate off this aussie website with an m2 standoff mounting kit, except the screws are too small to actually mount to the plate. i was wondering if i could just buy some m2 washers or would the metal interfere with the HE switches? not educated enough to figure it out myself lol

obviously there are already metal screws throughout the keyboard but just wanted to confirm

[scarlet rock]

sounds like too much lube

[hearty pivot]

yeah my spacebar feels terrible

[hearty pivot]

doesnt feel like too much lube

feels like

insanely clacky and way too high up

like jus typing right now feels insanely weird because the spacebar is like higher than normal

[scarlet rock]

it sounds sticky

[hearty pivot]

it doesnt feel like that

they just feel high er up

than the other keys

god that feels so weird

[scarlet rock]

did you seat the spacebar properly

[robust siren]

how the fuck did we win this game

[scarlet rock]

it should be the same height as your row 4

[hearty pivot]

what is row 4

[scarlet rock]

your spacebar row

[hearty pivot]

on actuation this is the lowest it goes

so i was right

that is my backspace

[scarlet rock]

cant cant on site if they cant see

[hearty pivot]

yeah all the keyhs with stabilizers get stuck at 2.8

[robust siren]

13-11

😭

[hearty pivot]

i fi press down harder they get 4

[scarlet rock]

ez

[scarlet rock]

take a pic of your keyboard from the side

[hearty pivot]

Idk if that helps

[outer wasp]

hey guys

just a little bit curious

[scarlet rock]

take one from the bottom side

but it looks fine from this angle

[outer wasp]

how to put this tikken switches

[scarlet rock]

you face the clear window north then stab it in

[outer wasp]

theres the 2 sides of this tikken switches the wooting logo and the wooting name, which one should face north?

[hearty pivot]

I mean I showed the image, there's something wrong cause it does get stuck at 2.8 instead of fully pressing down and I have to force it so something went wrong

[scarlet rock]

the clear window faces noth

[scarlet rock]

looks fine, i guess you gotta remove it now to see under

[hearty pivot]

I'm lowkey gonna go to bed I don't feel like dealing with this bs rn

I am way to tired I'm gonna end up breaking something

[scarlet rock]

maybe itll magically work in the morning

[hearty pivot]

Boutta just throw this fucking keyboard away and say good riddance

[scarlet rock]

naa you got this

[cyan hemlock]

@robust siren Are the tikken switch springs enough for ceramic keycaps?

[outer wasp]

is this right?

[sacred elm]

Yes

[sullen salmon]

what are those other switches you have installed?

im currently on one of those logitech membrane wireless keyboards until i can figure out how to use this fuckin plate

dont hate the typing experience of membranes but fuck they feel miserable for gaming

[robust siren]

yes though you want to use heavier ones for the spacebar

[sacred elm]

These are stabilizers

[sullen salmon]

they are too im stupid

never seen creamy looking stabs

i wasnt lookin very hard

[halcyon flax]

Why does final mouse keyboard feel like same as wooting lol

Even the software feels almost similar but the ui is bad

[sacred elm]

Which Wooting?

Wooting One I guess?

[halcyon flax]

Feels similar to 80he

[sacred elm]

[halcyon flax]

They even had the light diffuse but in terms of 5 points

Looks cool fr

[paper bloom]

Its cuz their layout is based off of that their keeb depends ig

Idk about their performance metric and what not but they've alrdy said that performance doesnt even matter or something the last time someone mentioned on it idk

[sacred elm]

Wonder why they said that, maybe because their performance sucks

Used to be better...

[uneven cradle]

wild, plus they haven't given any to reviewers

[glossy pagoda]

The proof will be in the pudding...

[chilly mural]

well, I do hope they be supporting the keeb for the next 7 years

[feral grail]

Hope rtings gets their hands on one and measure the real world performance. All of the "wooting killers" so far don't perform as well in real life testing.

[prime orbit]

Pretty sure a handful of people have gotten theirs right

I doubt they will be better than wooting

[crimson sky]

[crimson sky]

Would not trust rtings latency testing too much

They often are very off

[glacial wind]

The problem is the other testers are even more off quite often

rtings at least have a consistent real world usage test whereas the other tests are even more worthless

[chilly mural]

better yet, a lot of them prop aren't going to be supported long term which makes them an e-waste.

[craggy light]

2 more layers of tape has been added making it 3 in total counting Wooting's own

Now we wait for the Flux switches for the ultimate sound

[glossy pagoda]

A few months ago, RTings shared an update on their keyboard latency testing methodology and indicated that they are very much so open to comments on how to improve the tests. It's a good read, starting here:
#🔧│keyboard_modding message

Oh gosh that was half a year ago already... Time flies

[round sparrow]

Finalmouse as a company sucks, they promised the ulx would be in continous production, all they've done is limited drops

[feral grail]

for the record, they say their next gen mice is going to be even more short supplied, cus they're using rare mcus and sensors

[austere creek]

press x to doubt

[feral grail]

it was part of their live q&a the other day, as justification for the frost key early access preorder thing

[glossy pagoda]

If they literally said the phrase "continuous production" then they're just being downright silly.

This has a very specific definition in manufacturing and there's 0% chance Finalmouse operates at even 1/100th of the scale required for that to be feasible.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_production

All consumer electronics are made in batches, not continuous runs.

[craggy light]

this is gonna be an excuse to increase the price

[feral grail]

could also be marketing to get you to buy the frostlord drop when the next gen mice are on the horizon

[molten marsh]

if i press right arrow (bound to up arrow) really hard with a raptor v2 switch in it, sometimes it triggers keys around it if theyre on like 0.2 or below actuation, is there anything i can about that

[tawdry tree]

Testing ms latency by feel

Laobaozi my goat

[tawdry tree]

Are you using a poron sheet between the switches and PCB perhaps?

[molten marsh]

nope

the only thing different is that in the other arrows theres gateron jades and right arrow has raptor v2

other than that its stock

[tawdry tree]

Odd, I’d think it’s because there’s a little room between the switches and PCB

[molten marsh]

oh well

[tawdry tree]

Did you recalibrate?

[molten marsh]

ill just put them on 0.8mm lmao

[molten marsh]

no.. is that a thing now>

[tawdry tree]

It’s def not right though, it shouldn’t happen.

[tawdry tree]

Just unplug and replug the board

[molten marsh]

oh yea i have done that

[tawdry tree]

I doubt it’d be due to the magnet of the Raptor V2s but that’s also possible

[molten marsh]

oh nevermind it does happen with geon raw too

[tawdry tree]

plate bending due to pressure and “lowering” those switches around it seems more likely to me.

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, def plate then but still odd.

[molten marsh]

huh

okay

[tawdry tree]

As there shouldn’t be room between the switches and PCB normally.

[glacial wind]

Btw aligner the 80he ms result in techless video i believe might be without tachyon on is why there’s weird results

[tawdry tree]

Could be

[sacred elm]

What's your plate material?

[tawdry tree]

whatever it is, he should be taking latency tests more seriously lmao

[molten marsh]

unless it changes between batches i just have the stock one

only things ive changed is switches and keycaps

[tawdry tree]

of which board?

[molten marsh]

ohhh

im ddumb lol

80he

[tawdry tree]

ah, PC then

ehhh, still odd. I’ve never noticed it myself

[sacred elm]

If you're using too much force to push the right arrow key, I can see other keys actuating near it, but it's still odd. Does it happen on other keys? In the middle for example.

[molten marsh]

seems to just be the right arrow

with yughjbn all on 0.1mm nothing happens if i press h really hard lol

[fallen pecan]

In the 1st video on wooting killers, techless wasn’t even aware of the gh60 standard 🤷

[molten marsh]

its such a small small window, woot-verlay doesnt even show right arrow getting pressed

oh i see a tiny tiny pixel bump lol

[craggy light]

it might be cope but the 2 extra layers of tape actually improved the sound

[fallen pecan]

Use this, and turn on the sound https://www.zfrontier.com/lab/keyboardTester

Its whats laobaozi uses for his actuation tests

[sacred elm]

Weird that it happens with the arrow keys and not with keys in the middle of the keyboard, there's more flex compared to corner keys.

Use this tool to better see what's actually going on when you press keys: https://analog-monitor.wootility.io/

[molten marsh]

a whole lot is going on

lol

i mean woah

[sacred elm]

🤨

[molten marsh]

i have no idea why that happens

ill try with middle of keyboard to compare

apparently it happens between h and space too

wow it is BAD between enter and backslash

[sacred elm]

Well, don't press it too hard I guess Can always get stiffer plate in the future, if this bothers you.

[molten marsh]

yeah lol, there legit no need to have actuation this low anyway so

[glacial wind]

is this on 0.1mm i assume?

[molten marsh]

not really, for the arrow keys it was 0.1 - 0.2 but here you can see it went all the way up to 0.75 on backslash

[glacial wind]

that's odd

you're just pressing normally?

[molten marsh]

only when i press hard

[glacial wind]

it shouldn't be flexxing that much unless you're pressing really hard

yeah, don't do that lol

[molten marsh]

lmao alr

[glacial wind]

the entire point of the standoffs is to brace it so people don't press hard and flex it in weird ways that triggers low actuations

it's why HE boards have so many standoffs in middle and through pcb

[molten marsh]

yea it does make sense lol

ty guys for the help

[glacial wind]

but like shafie said if it really bothers you and you want to be able to press super hard then you can buy a cf/aluminium plate for example

[molten marsh]

yeah at least its not too big of an issue lmao

tysm again

[fair quartz]

Anybody got good keycap site reccomendations?

Thanks

[craggy light]

carbon fiber plate for 60he v2 when

[tawdry tree]

You pressed Enter and Backslash get “pressed” to 0.5mm?

[tawdry tree]

Buy $420 case get one free 👍

[craggy light]

what a steal!

[sacred elm]

Will be available soon after Wooting releases plate files.

[molten marsh]

yeah but its completely unnecessary to hit enter as hard as i did for it to show that lmfao

[craggy light]

i will be upgrading to that for sure!

[sacred elm]

If you don't want to wait for AliExpress sellers to release plates for the v2, you can order custom plate once Wooting uploads plate files on GitHub.

[craggy light]

nah im good, i can wait

this shit is gonna run me crazy considering im from eu

[sacred elm]

If you're using ISO, then you'll definitely need to order custom

ANSI wins once again

[craggy light]

i got ansi, no worries

[tawdry tree]

Still, 0.5mm is crazy. I’m not sure how that’s even possible tbh. I assume people press WASD pretty hard, so if that causes all keys around it to actuate when on 0.2, it’d be a massive problem lmao.

Does it happen when you press the plate with the keycap, so with the switch removed?

[molten marsh]

ill test rq

yes

up to nearly exactly 0.1mm lol its harder to press the plate but yea it does

[tawdry tree]

Alright, it’s definitely not the switch then.

Maybe it’s normal and I never noticed it. 🤷‍♂️

[molten marsh]

it only makes sense to be the plate i think

[flat cobalt]

Sheeeesh Cosmos on the Satisfaction75 V2

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, for sure. I don’t really understand it though as the switches should be against the PCB at all times. So when you press one switch hard, the plate shouldn’t be able to pull switches around it “down”, but idk.

[molten marsh]

yeah.. well theres not much else i can do about it than a plate lmao

[chilly mural]

time for tungsten plate

@j*kubix

[tiny vortex]

Very random question for a barebones kit what do you need to buy apart from case, switches and key caps. I’m new to keyboard building is all

[sacred elm]

You only need module, case, switches and keycaps, nothing else.

Cable is included

[tiny vortex]

Thanks a lot I appreciate it

[crimson sky]

that board ain't it

especially not at that price

[flat cobalt]

[flat cobalt]

I haven’t seen the price yet

[crimson sky]

the original sat75 already kinda sucked

[crimson sky]

they are hoping they can hit 430 dollars

[thorn yew]

Yo guys what's up?

It's been a while

[craggy light]

might remove the foam from the pcb also

[flat cobalt]

I hate myself for not getting that Seal X Cosmos board

https://clickclack.io/products/cosmos-seal-mechanical-keyboard-kit?

I would have been unstoppable right now

[craggy light]

no foam is peak

I am convinced

removed everything and this thing pops

[compact field]

Geon raptor v2s worth it?

[craggy light]

where is the switch expert

[uneven cradle]

It's alright I'm sure you'll find something out of the many GBs that run

I currently have 3 I'm waiting on

[peak breach]

Yeah

[sacred elm]

Until you feel crunch with your fingers

mmm crunch @sweet oak

[tawdry tree]

https://tenor.com/view/hammer-gif-23464742

[craggy light]

order few different switches just to feel them and then commit to a full set imo

[humble surge]

Good decision 🙂

[tawdry tree]

this is the way 🙂‍↕️
