some use molykote, some xht-bdz, some use super lube/dielectric grease

personally i like xht-bdz but it's trickier to work with and very thick

[hot crown]

I think I just need a tiny bit more to touch up the stock lube job, so I think I need a thinner one?

[glacial wind]

It’d be the thicker one you need usually

That’s what goes on the wires to stop ticking

Honestly one of the things you first learn is housing lube can be super super minimal

You don’t need much of that at all and too much can cause weird sticky feel

Wire lube is the one that often needs more

[hot crown]

Yeah I over did it with some random tube a few years ago on another keyboard, I think that I do just need a little on some wires, I just am wondering what works on wooting keyboards or if anything is different. how does super lube compare to the molykote because if it is the stuff at home depot I wonder how it fares for being about half the price.

[ionic breach]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxmrQ3Ezp1o

Not too shabby

[ionic breach]

not my pref personally but i think its what a good fraction of the people likes and cant find

[glacial wind]

Can’t watch right now, but why is he saying fixed top noise?

if anything split stem normally has worse top noise, or does he mean in relation to other split stems

[ionic breach]

he means in general i believe

tho its just on the neo i think its sounds ok, the rest kinda sounds much worse

and then on the 80he it sounds really interesting that i think some people will really like

[flat cobalt]

@sacred elm I should have waited for these bro instead of the Flux

[sacred elm]

[ionic breach]

the pro smd looks interesting

idk why gateron is gatekeeping the materials tho

[little glen]

that ugly ass green housing

[glacial wind]

They’re just gateron spark basically, I have sound tests for both on the database

But pom stem now on ultra

[ionic breach]

the pros dual smds? ooo ill go take a look

[glacial wind]

The pro dual smd is just jade pro

But I do have sound tests there too of them

Nothing new there really

It’s just dual diffuser tech to accommodate the new dual rgb boards

[ionic breach]

icic

so just an upgrade to the dual rgb

[glacial wind]

Yep, sound is same as just jade pro

[ionic breach]

damn i kinda wanna get a cf plate now

[glacial wind]

Cf plate is the hotness

I use cf plate for all my own personal use builds

[peak breach]

Yeah im reppin cf with my raptors

[gray shoal]

Anyone have a link to an Amazon listing for burger mount orings? Don’t know what size I need for mounting my 60 v2

[glacial wind]

Er you can if you want but is there a reason you’re wanting to burger mount still?

it’s kind of a bit outdated when you can just friction fit now

[proven wadi]

Gonna be fun to see how "TTC Flip King of Magnetic Switch" preform, they are on thier way now 🙂 "Export customs clearance complete.
Dec 15, 08:52 (GMT+1)"

[glacial wind]

I think mine are at local airport now so waiting for local pickup

I’m not expected all that much though because from some early reports they’re not really that muted unlike the gateron sparks

But at least they’re 3.5mm instead of the gateron 3.2mm

[proven wadi]

you will get then pretty soon then atleast, for me it says ~1th jan for delivery

[glacial wind]

Oh yeah mine are way closer. Probably this week sometime

[proven wadi]

i didnt like the ws flux tho, to heavy so maybe ill like these flip king better :p

[glacial wind]

I really want to see how the ttc full split performs

But they still haven’t said when that’s for sale

[proven wadi]

they look pretty cool, ill wait for your review on them! 😉

[trail bane]

I would say they’re nice, but after flux the bottom feels wobbly as hell

[glossy pagoda]

No plans to do a wrist rest v2 for the 80HE

The reason for the version improvement for the 60% version is not applicable to the 80% version

[little glen]

Show me how you want to hook it into the 80he

I‘ll wait

[gray shoal]

Is that with the big rubber band around the board?

My 80he I didn’t mess with out the box and been a while since I built my 60he non plus so yea I’m out the loop

[sacred elm]

Yes

[gray shoal]

Anyone got a link where I can pick that up then

[sacred elm]

Friction fit pad holds the module inside the case securely using the friction and helps achieving less vibration and overall cleaner, nicer sound and softer feel.

[sacred elm]

Don't you have 60HE v2?

[gray shoal]

I do. Being delivered today

I have prime so seeing if I need to order to have stuff delivered before tonight

[sacred elm]

It comes with the friction fit pad then.

It's pre-installed, all you need to do is put the module in the case. No screws required.

[gray shoal]

Oh thanks. Would you recommend the pad over the band or the same thing?

Once I get my wootings set up i really don’t tinker until something new comes out so I don’t keep up with keyboards in between

I didn’t even order the new switches because my 80he came with the lighter switches I never installed

[paper bison]

just realised i have all 4 of them in here lmfao

[crimson sky]

all 4 of what

[fallen pecan]

nice rakka build vid with tofu redux and gehirn 60

[humble surge]

the heel

[chilly mural]

noice

I can see that it includes a plate that support the split layout

[robust siren]

i think this makes the spacebar appear more white

[stoic ocean]

My next keyboard 🤞

[tidal frigate]

You do not have 60he arm and 60he avr tho

[robust siren]

@glacial wind i find that the v2 module fits tighter in the silicone gaskets in the gt60 than the v1

its harder to adjust it left and right and definitely requires more force to push it in but its still manageable

[hot rivet]

would anybody possibly happen to know what settings were used for the mic for the sound test

i wanna try recording mine, but i cant get it to sound good

[robust siren]

silicone bumpons also touch the bottom of the case now too

[robust siren]

you want to ideally have the mic not attached to the desk to isolate desk vibrations getting into the mic

and then also make sure the keyboard is on some sort of mat or soft material so it doesnt transfer vibrations from the keyboard into the desk

[hot rivet]

so i want my mic attached to a seperate desk nearby or something?

[robust siren]

yeah

[hot rivet]

it is sitting on a full sized mousepad so i think im good here

[robust siren]

you can see it in the latest wooting video - sno's setup for sound recording

[hot rivet]

😭

yea i think imma pass on the multi hundered dollar mic rig lolll

thank you for the tips though lol

[mental gyro]

what switches do you guys like between raptor v2 and owlab ti? i read the site recommendations on wootingmods and the raptor v2 is better or what does it mean

it says spring crunching as well tho, is that a qc issue?

[robust siren]

technically its harvested from a camera rig so its even more expensive than what you think

[robust siren]

spring crunch is a design issue with the bottom housing

[robust siren]

most of the switch choice selection is based off what sound you want and the stability

[mental gyro]

oh so is that bad or ?

[robust siren]

it might happen, it might not

its rng

you might have some that come with crunch from factor or none do, and develop over time or not

[mental gyro]

ill just get the owlab ti then its cheaper for me anyways

should i even consideer the lekker v2 45? they are quite cheap

but idk if they aer considered good

i prefer light ish switches

[hot rivet]

💀

i think ill just stick to my mediocre sound recording for now

[tired shard]

Honestly not worth the investment unless you genuinely need good sound recording for job or something

Like cheap mic arm attached to desk with decent mic I’ve found is more than good enough for anything I’ll use it for

I literally end up using my headset mic 9/10 anyways

By decent mic I literally mean hyperx quadcast

[hot rivet]

i mean ive already made small investment into my audio set up, but it still dont sound good and im too lazy to actually go through obs and figure out my sound settings lol

[tired shard]

Like unless you want to stream or something, better speakers or IEMs might be better for your own QOL

[hot rivet]

dont get me wrong, it doesnt sound bad by any means, it just doesnt have like studio level quality

[umbral fable]

https://tenor.com/view/dih-cat-finger-meme-cat-when-you-have-the-smallest-dih-gif-8904392052193585078

[hot rivet]

i cant do iems, or earbuds in general i dont like things in my ear for prolonged periods of time

it gets uncomfortable

ive thought about getting speakers, but honestly not really worth it to me, the only times im not using my headphones are when im watching something while eating

[tired shard]

Fair honestly same that’s why I have headphones but I just got a spare pair of iems cuz sometimes nice to use but rarely get used

Like honestly my headsets suck for sound quality by any audiophile standards but for the price I got them and being wireless I’m happy Logitech pro x 2 wireless

[limpid sand]

My split bar mod

[hot rivet]

yall some lucky bastards fr

mines not coming in till tomorrow

[cyan lark]

I'll be there with you tomorrow brother.

[cyan lark]

Bit blurry - KoM RGB center and Owlies on sides?

[hot rivet]

oh wait 😭

i jus realized thats an 80 he LMAO

[cyan lark]

oh dear

[limpid sand]

80he v2 🤣

[hot rivet]

does that even work?

hows the software register that even though its an 80he

[limpid sand]

External module

via 2.4 ghz

[tired shard]

Oh my god I was like what in the world did this guy cook up

[hot rivet]

i mean i cant lie, it looks pretty good

praying santa sends you some better keycaps to use as a spacebar lol

[limpid sand]

i like this keycaps

[static sable]

I think the 80HE is better than the 60HE anyway, regardless of whether it's V1 or V2.

I would never buy such a stripped-down keyboard.

[tired shard]

LOL I mean just depends on use case

Som people can live without f row and arrow keys

[warped glade]

I have 4 different keyboards in my office haha:

• Sun Microsystems Type 6 Unix USB
• Realforce REALFORCE SA / R2SA-US4-BK full size Topre board
• Wooting 80HE
• Wooting 60HE v2

Also got a Keychron Q0 Max numpad for good measure

[glossy pagoda]

Now this is podracing keyboard modding

[tired shard]

GOD DAMN THATS A TYPING ANGLE AND A HALF

[languid pine]

Lubed l45, unlubed l45, unlubed jade ruby, unlubed tikken, fe tikken respectively

[stoic ocean]

Anyone have more information about this switch

Its goofy

I like goofy stuff

[humble surge]

Not yet, but thanks for sharing, looks like a good candidate for testing

[tidal frigate]

Wait until someone makes wireless wooting

@limpid sand when wireless wooting tho

[humble surge]

Can't access TaoBao anymore, so i can't search for it sadly. But direct links are very appreciated if available.

[limpid sand]

my next mod wireless wooting, thanks for idea🫡

[tidal frigate]

@limpid sand you Gotta be giga nerd to pull it off

[cyan lark]

Rad, nice job.

[autumn temple]

I think I just realized that I use a full mousepad on my desk that covers the entire surface of my desk including my keyboard and I think I just realized thats why my keyboards sounds so much different than other peoples because they are typing on a different surface than me

I didnt realize how much the surface you are typing on makes a huge difference like I feel like the cloth pad that i am using is soaking up all the sound from the keyboard and it kind of sounds like dead and flat

But when I switch over to a wooden desk it sounds so much nicer and alive

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine new soju pictures

[fluid ravine]

My v2 has arrived!
Now I just gotta get home

[autumn temple]

Because theres so much dampening in the case and then im typing on a dampened surface its killing the sound even more and then when I switch over to a wooden desk the sound is so much more alive and its like I can actually hear it

[fluid ravine]

EHERS

[autumn temple]

Mine arrived also

Using it right now

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine

im using the one in the 3rd pic rn

[fluid ravine]

No white BP or esc?

[robust siren]

thats what prevents me from using white esc, no white bp

i have to buy the number row strip kit for that

and atp ill have 3 number rows

[robust siren]

the reason i didnt get stripes because white alphas was only $25 more and had literally everything

except for bottom row

[chilly mural]

you know what they say, third time's a charm

[robust siren]

which.. i needed base for

[fluid ravine]

(▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)ᴵ ˢᵉᵉ

[robust siren]

and i feel like geting the korean subalpha kit was literally doing too much

ill have fucking like

250 keycaps

[fluid ravine]

I'm at school rn

Second to last block

[robust siren]

#ad*lthood

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

Shaddduppp

[robust siren]

i kinda wish i got the stripes kit now

and also the deskmat

wait its still in stock

[fluid ravine]

Bruh I need a kit with space bar split and everything

[robust siren]

[tropic urchin]

Just tell him he’s not legally allowed to drink Soju

[robust siren]

i technically am in korea

and japan i think?

[tropic urchin]

NYC ain’t Korea tho

[chilly mural]

for now

[robust siren]

i got a 2 hour layover there

[autumn temple]

Where you from ?

[tropic urchin]

For now it’s Gotham

[autumn temple]

I'm Canadian

Man I gotta get rid of this giant ass mouse pad though its soaking up all the sound from this beautiful keyboard

Keyboard sound sgreat with silicon block inside im loving it

[robust siren]

i got a cheap ass tabletop so sound isolation from the desk is ideal for me

[fluid ravine]

I'm from Texas

[robust siren]

i also just dont like the sound resonance from the table

[fluid ravine]

Amuricaaaa

[autumn temple]

Like what material we talking here cause wood is great at least in my opinion cause I dont WANT any sound absorportion whatsoever I hate that I dont want any dampening whjatsoever

[robust siren]

https://tenor.com/view/american-gif-23667282

[fluid ravine]

[robust siren]

some kind of generic ikea tabletop

[chilly mural]

soon gonna be in a city. Maybe if I have extra fund I go buy keycaps

[autumn temple]

So you prefer the dampened sound?

[robust siren]

its made of Particleboard

[robust siren]

i guess? i would consider it more like a clean sound of just the keyboard

or well the swtiches specifically

[autumn temple]

Yeah same

[fluid ravine]

Who has a pic of v2 friction pad?

Need to compare

[uneven cradle]

Two keyboards arriving and I'm not going to be here for 3 weeks

Waited a year and half for one of them and it arrives when I go on break

[cyan violet]

@robust siren Here's what I'm working with rn, just waiting on the keyboard itself so I might switch something up when it's in place

[chilly mural]

I dig this layout

[robust siren]

it sounds like.. the audio from the keyboard is lagging irl

[robust siren]

what do you need to compare

[fluid ravine]

Holes

And the layout of it

The one I just sent is the 461E gasket tab pad

[robust siren]

you might need to bite out a chunk here

also

whats up with that enter key

[fluid ravine]

I flipped the image cus this is right

Congrats, though I thought we were Tuesday bros

[fluid ravine]

I'm sorry

You can talk to UPS about that

[cyan lark]

I'll live vicariously through you until tomorrow. Post your thoughts on the split action.

[fluid ravine]

Thought we were gonna get taco Tuesday after building ours

[fluid ravine]

Mk

[cyan lark]

I woulda put your taco on my tab, alas

[fluid ravine]

[robust siren]

guyss where do i put switchy derpy

sticker'

[cyan lark]

In an envelope and send it to me b/c he's my favorite

[calm pulsar]

middle of the screen, to use as crosshair

[robust siren]

shoud i put it on top of the astral iem carry case

or on my mic

[cyan lark]

mic, facing camera

or facing you, whichever gets looked at more

[fluid ravine]

What mic?

Nah

On your forehead

[robust siren]

aight im putting it on the mic

[chilly mural]

how you sound liek

[robust siren]

its… glorious

[cyan lark]

This is Art

[calm pulsar]

mute button is in an interesting spot

[tropic urchin]

I can’t unsee it

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[chilly mural]

This really makes it look like switchy just pooped through their dipers

[tropic urchin]

Now gore will have to keep his mic a healthy distance away

[robust siren]

other side of hte mic had knobs

[chilly mural]

and if it's red, it'll look like they're in a period

[robust siren]

it wouldve been more....

sus

also just not enough room

[past flower]

anyone know some cool/unique black with deep red accent key caps for 60he?

[cyan lark]

Too bad Evil Dolch is sold out everywhere

[robust siren]

my old set called pbtfan crosshairs fit that

though i wouldnt call it unique

[tropic urchin]

It’s not black but you might like PBTFans Count Dracula

[thorn zealot]

why is the switch givin the mic sloppy tops

[tropic urchin]

Has a lot of red and some darker/lighter keys and has some cool novelties as well for uniqueness

[chilly mural]

reverse of that, but you can look at GMK Samurai

[past flower]

ok

thanks for all the help guys

[past flower]

i think ill order this one

[rotund perch]

I mightve decided on keycaps, MAYBE

[robust siren]

leave switchy alone 😭

[stoic ocean]

Guys i buy the rode nt1 for 7€ thank you Macron and idk how i can plug the xlr to my pc what i need

[robust siren]

you need a dac/amp or user interface or adapter

[stoic ocean]

What is the best to have a good audio quality

[chilly mural]

$50 and an IEM that you like

[robust siren]

if the person is selling a $160 mic for $7 its probably not in a good working condition

[stoic ocean]

Is brand new

[robust siren]

i highly doubt its a real one then

[cyan lark]

"If it's too good to be true, it is"

[stoic ocean]

In France, there's student aid. I had 300 euros, the aid increased to 150, and in shops I had to pay 7€

[cyan lark]

But you need an audio interface to bring XLR into your PC

An easy one to onboard with is the WaveXLR from Elgato

[stoic ocean]

In reality, it costs €157 in the store where I bought it, but they contributed up to €150.

[cyan lark]

Plus now you get access to virtual stream deck w/ it, a nice perk

[stoic ocean]

Thanks, I'll look at it this weekend

[young viper]

Wave xlr, or if you already have a stream deck+ there's a xlr adapter for it

[slow storm]

is the switches in 60he v2 factory lubed?

[robust siren]

yes

[trail bane]

Leggera is coming

[chrome mural]

Guys i bought wooting 60he v2 is it worth modding

[robust siren]

its perfectly fine stock, if you want you can get swtiches and keycaps

if you want a different look, then case

[zenith osprey]

I build a lot of customs and I actually quite like it stock

I may just swap out the keycaps

[chrome mural]

Yh i will get new keycaps

Holy 60 case is fire too but 120 bucks

[robust siren]

holy60 doesnt sound that good imo but if you like the asthetics of it then ig
theres clones of it on aliexpress if you want a cheap version or you can get it from gateron but its ecoated and not anodized

[chrome mural]

Alr thanks bro

Do u have better case recommendations

[robust siren]

there are plenty that work with the wooting though some might not work with friction mounts

and you need to screw it in

[robust siren]

KBDfans GT-60, KBDfans Tofu60 Redux, GEONWORKS Frog Mini Leggera, Wooting X Optimum Case, Wooting Alumaze Case, etc

[chrome mural]

Tsym bro

I will pick from one of those

[wanton star]

hi all, i just got my 60 v2 module in and bought it with the owlab case, I need some help setting everything up friction fit wise, can anyone help me please?

[elder yacht]

tofu 60 acrylic frosted is so nice

i use it

[wanton star]

i’m also a little worried, this little foam piece came loose. but the case came with a plate which i’m going to use but like 2 foam pieces and 1 silicone gasket lookin thing, how is this assembled together ?

[tulip rapids]

nice me too

[robust siren]

wooting should have a tutorial on their youtube

[elder yacht]

yeahhh, would look so much cooler if wooting pc had underglow 😉

[robust siren]

id suggest looking at that first

[wanton star]

it doesn’t show friction fit, just plate mount

[robust siren]

it does show how to us the friction band..

[wanton star]

ok i’m trolling i think i was jsut turned away because it started talking about the plate first sorry thanks

[robust siren]

https://youtu.be/trONM_2ENNw?t=387

timestamped

in the video you can see where the metal sponge goes

[wanton star]

i see, i’m not seeing this piece needed anywhere so im safe to not use it ?

also should this kinda felt material be removed before applying the sticky foam?

[robust siren]

well technically you should remove the friction fit pad from the module and replace it with that

[robust siren]

thats the tape mod, its up to you if you like the sound of it on vs off

compared to the sticky foam

[wanton star]

ah i don’t put both though, i just keep one only?

i’ll probably just keep it on then

[robust siren]

acutally idk if the friction pad that comes with the owlabs case works with the v2 module

you have to test that by yourself since i dont have the case

[wanton star]

i see the base module has a friction fit pad around it already, so remove that?

[robust siren]

you could just use that and ignore the one that came with the owlab

install process is the same

just make sure you have the 2 grounding sponges here

[wanton star]

ok i sent. a picture above, one of the sponges came loose, how should i go about reattaching it?

[robust siren]

is one side of it sticky?

[wanton star]

and from what you’re saying, i likely don’t need anything at all then extra, i can just put the module inside the case and that’s it ?

[robust siren]

im not sure how they have it there from factory

[wanton star]

yea but it’s lost its stickiness, not sticky at all tbh

[robust siren]

yeah pretty much

[wanton star]

sweet

but yea one of the sides was sticky but not so much anymore

[robust siren]

tbh one is enough

you dont need both

[wanton star]

how would you reapply it though?

if you were to do it ?

[robust siren]

im not sure how to glue it in place actually since you want it to contact the case

[wanton star]

there’s a little square that’s a different material

in the case

the sticky side is up as well for reference

[robust siren]

im not sure what they use there

[wanton star]

the other one is on pretty strong so whatever it is, it must be pretty strong tho

must have had less applied on this right side one?

[cyan lark]

Just use some crazy/gorilla glue, nbd

[robust siren]

that kinda defeats the purpose of it as its not a grounding sponge anymore, its just a sponge

id assume it needs to some sort of conductive adhesive

[tulip rapids]

Wish me luck chat finna lube my dcf for the first time. Finne be the most inconsistent lubing i ever done 🥀

[wanton star]

whatever u recommend, i’ll buy lol

[cyan lark]

It can still be electrically connected to the board w/ crazy glue

[wanton star]

just want a kind of perfect board

[cyan lark]

you do you

[robust siren]

idk any lol

[tulip rapids]

where pics of your keyboard

[wanton star]

i got some superglue too, could just do it

[robust siren]

i mean like i said before, just one is good enough

[wanton star]

that does look fine then

[robust siren]

do you think that the keyboard is flat? i cant tell

if its flat then its fine

[cyan lark]

My 60v2 arrives tomorrow 😭

[robust siren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1084226157907554441/1447909119393796137/caption.gif

[wanton star]

yea i pressed downwards a little and all the sides are flush with the gasket

[cyan lark]

Pushed back after being pushed up

[robust siren]

then it should be all fine

[wanton star]

i’ll hold on to the little grounding sponge then, i think i’ll reapply it later down the line

thanks for the help!

[wanton star]

last question, i’m also installing geon raptors, this is the correct orientation right? 😭

cause the geon name is upside down doing it this way though

[humble surge]

Correct

[wanton star]

ok even with name upside down?

[humble surge]

the name is irrelevant

[robust siren]

yes

[wanton star]

ty ! let’s do this 🔥

[humble surge]

you have the diffuser north

as the LEDs

[robust siren]

split spacebar spotted

[wanton star]

i previously used a moonlander zsa so i really like having more to do with my thumbs

planning to get one of the rotary knobs they release soon too, going to bind it as my bunny hop

i lowk don’t know much about keebs, i just game so i appreciate the help everyone lol

[robust siren]

small one has a chance of being delayed tho so just prepare for that ig

[wanton star]

yea that’s all good, i’m prepared to raw dog it out a bit

[wanton star]

do u know delay eta tho?

[misty sky]

anyone with the original frog mini try friction fit with the 60he v2 module?

[robust siren]

they havent said that it IS delayed yet so all we know is still q1 2026

[wanton star]

ok that’s fine

film here looks wrinkled, should i reinsert the module? or will it settle after putting in a switch ?

[robust siren]

try putting a switch in, if you hear something weird then you probably have to take it apart to flaten it

[wanton star]

ok just did and it sounded fine, maybe a little wrinklier

[robust siren]

you could also yes try taking it out before taking it apart

[wanton star]

but it inserted fine

hmmm how can this wrinkle be fixed ?

[robust siren]

see if you can just push it flat, if not you have to unscrew the plate from the pcb

[cyan lark]

looks like the thin plastic sheet - could take it out and hair dry/heat gun it then flatten w/ a book

[robust siren]

and flaten it out afterwards

[cyan lark]

but also.... you'll never ever see it in use so I wouldn't personally bother

[robust siren]

dont even need to do that

just some pockets that got trapped

[wanton star]

yea some pockets got trapped, had to just fejangle it a little and press down in different places

[wanton star]

so ur saying even if put a switch in, it wouldn’t really affect performance ?

[robust siren]

i mean it is the escape key...

if it prevents the switch from fully seating then it might mess with the actuation point

[tulip rapids]

tell me who i need to hurt

[marsh saffron]

Need maximum performance on escape for when you rage quit to the menu

Backing out at lightspeed

[wanton star]

i just don’t want anything faulty

the rubber gasket isn’t being flush with that section

and when i press it inwards to be flush, that’s when it wrinkles

[robust siren]

thats why you get a seperate wooting and make every key dks alt+f4

[marsh saffron]

Buy an uwu just for rage quitting 😭 😭 😭

[robust siren]

put a switch there and then put it in the case

[cyan lark]

in audacity you can take a room noise sample and remove it from the rest of the recording

@limpid sand though remember if you modify pcb, you will lose warranty

[fluid ravine]

sort of disappointed? but i got high standards for sound so

@robust siren

ill try one with fluxes

[sacred elm]

Get real Fluxies

[robust siren]

real

[zenith osprey]

I see botanical

is that black snail

with alt alphas

[fluid ravine]

yes

[zenith osprey]

nice

i was thinking about putting that set on mine as well

middle board is the frog mini?

[fluid ravine]

yup

yo i cant lie

fluxes are nice

in this board

we might be onto something

[tropic urchin]

Stop your capping, you threw your fluxies at the wall

I don’t believe you

[fluid ravine]

we'll see

[tropic urchin]

The flux church know you as an abuser

[fluid ravine]

all will be forgiven

[fringe lake]

How do i insert the v2 pcb into the holy60

[tropic urchin]

basicly u are weering 🧢

[sacred elm]

Holy60 is friction fit compatible, so just put the v2 module in the case. You can install one of the screws to ground the module if you want.

[calm pulsar]

alr bud

[fluid ravine]

hey mane

im willing to take down my post on selling my fluxes

the spacebar is weirder that i thought

iffy ass recording but wtv

@robust siren

[robust siren]

“why does the tikkens sound like that”

[fluid ravine]

tikkens

[fluid ravine]

fluxes

[robust siren]

ill check it when i get home

[fluid ravine]

Fluxes, tape mod, no pet film, poron pad with friction fit, polyfill for case foam

[cyan lark]

Not bad but your missing a derp switchy on your mic smh

[robust siren]

aight lets hear it

[robust siren]

he didnt get one

[robust siren]

i think i like this one more

[fluid ravine]

mk

[robust siren]

the tape mod is iffy

[fluid ravine]

i took it out

[robust siren]

whats no tape mod with polyfil

Poron case foam

SIlicone

Silicone doing silicone things

[fluid ravine]

not bad eh?

thank god i still have the fluxes ngl

[robust siren]

yeah def not bad

[fluid ravine]

sighhh

stilll can be better\

[robust siren]

its.. interesting

[robust siren]

poly is the move

smth about it sounds cleaner than the poron case foam

unless thats your finger sliding around the keys

[fluid ravine]

lol whihc one?

[robust siren]

2nd one around the 5 second mark

actually

that might be unlubed stab scratchyness

[fluid ravine]

oh i see what you mean

that mightve been me scratching on the right spacebar

i was awkwardly looking for it

i think i was missing the spacebar

[robust siren]

[fluid ravine]

yea..

skill isassooo

[robust siren]

they need lube

[fluid ravine]

we shall wait

[clever quiver]

I have the stock 60he+ and im thinking of getting a tofu60 redux, what does the brass plate do exactly? and should I get any extra acessories with this purchase?

[fluid ravine]

the brass weight increases the weight and density of the case, it takes a positive effect in sound as it reduces pinging and vibration noises, and of course, increases the weight lol

[clever quiver]

okay just heard a compraisson, it sounds really bad without a plate

but other than that I should be good I dont need anything else thats not in the wooting itself

[fluid ravine]

What do you have currently?

[clever quiver]

just the stock wooting 60he+

[fluid ravine]

yeah you should be fine

you dont need anything else unless you want to change other stuff off your baord

[clever quiver]

okay good

where should I buy it from? aliexpress or their website?

[fluid ravine]

Where are you located?

[clever quiver]

us

[robust siren]

wait for divinikey to restock it

[lone tide]

do we know if the 60he v2 module is compatible with the holy60 case?

[queen otter]

anyone have aeboards raeds HE

or some dome style HE keyboard

[queen otter]

i have the holy60 and the v2 at home, i can tell you tomorrow

sound good?

[lone tide]

thank you sir🙏 pls ping me on the post

[lone tide]

sounds perfect

[queen otter]

awesome

[lone tide]

youre the goat

[glacial wind]

it's compatible

[queen otter]

everyone here is the goat lets be real

[lone tide]

hell yeah

[lone tide]

thats true

[glacial wind]

i have one of mine in a holy60 right now

[lone tide]

impeccable taste

[queen otter]

do you need a grounding screw?

or no?

[glacial wind]

if you want to ground then yeah you need to screw or use a sponge, i don't bother myself with that

[lone tide]

what is a grounding screw

[queen otter]

you just friction fit with no screws, nk problems so far?

[glacial wind]

yeah, the grounding stuff is what we recommend for extra safety because we want to meet a higher standard for our own cases, but it's very common for boards not to be grounded like that in general

[queen otter]

basically, sometimes there is a chanve you can get shocked if you dont screw in at least one screw if you dont use a grounding sponge, and maybe even damage the pcb, not 100% certain

[lone tide]

ohh okay

[queen otter]

btw you did a good job on the latest video, jed

[glacial wind]

the actual chance that you'd ever both static shock and static also shock the specifically sensitive part of the pcb to somehow damage it is probably on the level of winning the lottery so it's not something I worry about generally, but it is something we have to point out as it's not covered by warranty and 3rd party cases don't ground properly

[queen otter]

very fair

[glacial wind]

that's actually all sanders footage lol. I just helped him out editing it since he was travelling

[queen otter]

still, good voiceover

first time seeing you

[lone tide]

i think ill be ordering a holy60, v2 module and tikkens in a few months

[queen otter]

niceeee

[lone tide]

i wanna buy a new fishing rod first lmao

[queen otter]

any experiemce with aeboards raeds HE?

[lone tide]

i dont have any no but idk abt others

[queen otter]

because I really wanna try those

[lone tide]

ive never even heard of it lol

[glacial wind]

they stopped producing those for a bit due to some minor issues, but there's a ton of replacements for them now

tecsee, xvx, haimu all have versions of the same switch

[queen otter]

have you had a chance to try them at meetups, or if you own any?

[glacial wind]

yeah i own all of them except the new haimu one

[queen otter]

are there more RGB friendly variants?

or not really

[glacial wind]

yeah the xvx one is rgb friendlier

[queen otter]

whats ghe exact model name by xvx?

[glacial wind]

it's these, but they are tactile only version so if you want linear they don't do linear version https://ko.aliexpress.com/item/1005010273713931.html

[queen otter]

XVX HE EC

[glacial wind]

i would assume the haimu ones are decent for rgb too https://ko.aliexpress.com/item/1005010450248731.html but i haven't tried them

[queen otter]

What is Wooting developpes a Magnetic Dome switch

that would actually be sick

[fluid ravine]

reminds me of 4mm MX switches

i actually like them in my venom a lot more than in my wooting

@robust siren @harsh dove

[robust siren]

i agree

[fluid ravine]

thoughts?

Like this is my Neo65 with milky yellows on a pom plate

oh and yeah now i think about it snore, i think my nails are scratching the keycaps while im typing LOL

gotta cut my nails

[robust siren]

i like it

tikkens didn’t sound all that well on old board

[queen otter]

tikkens I feel are solid but still have some issues with the upstroke

at least thats from what I have heard, I'll have to try them out irl

[robust siren]

they feel tactile to me

[lone tide]

tactile?

[robust siren]

when installed

[robust siren]

yes

[lone tide]

in a bad way?

[robust siren]

like a noticeable bump when pressing

[robust siren]

for me, yeah since i prefer linears

although

once out of the keyboard and just on its own

it feels like a normal linear switch

[lone tide]

interesting

i was thinking of getting them but if they dont feel great then im not sure

[robust siren]

this is very much a me issue as i havent heard or anyone else say this about tikkens

soooo

[queen otter]

from the little i used them they felt linear

[robust siren]

during my typing tests with them, it just didnt feel linear to me until i took them out of the keyboard

[lone tide]

hmm

if i get them ill do a review

[slow remnant]

did you press the keycaps down enough?

[robust siren]

yes

all the switches were fully seated

[sacred elm]

They are linear and don't feel tactile at all

[robust siren]

its not my first time installing them

[robust siren]

very much a me issue

[sacred elm]

yes

[robust siren]

my fingers have beef with titons

but not with the heist switches

[queen otter]

can you send me a sample image and sound test of the RGB through a tikken vs an XVX HE EC? 👀

[robust siren]

[cyan lark]

The fuck, is this Peanuts in hell?

[glacial wind]

there's already one posted before

#🔧│keyboard_modding message - not tikken but flux vs xvx

the pink ones are the flux switches since they're pink they color the rgb, the white is xvx

so the rgb is 'fine' but not top tier see through or anything

[queen otter]

got it, thanks :)

[fluid ravine]

We bringing out the bad bois @robust siren Rawhukssss

[robust siren]

no iems rn

[fluid ravine]

fah

[robust siren]

[fluid ravine]

i put a thin layer of lube on the stab stem walls

it helped

[robust siren]

ill probably do that tomorrow too cause they dry

[fluid ravine]

indeed

[robust siren]

dry as fuhhhhh

[fluid ravine]

the more i looked at them

they were dry

yea

[robust siren]

[fluid ravine]

lmao

[robust siren]

the wires had good lubing

[fluid ravine]

yup

lowk my stabs sound pretty solid now

i dont bother them at all rn

[robust siren]

im giga lazy so ima just paint the side in lube and not take apart the keyboard

[fluid ravine]

that's what i did

LMAO

stick them up and use wtv lube was on my pen and just brush it on there

i didn't want to take out the stabs and lube them one by one

[robust siren]

and also the north side of the stab cause i found that also scratchy

[fluid ravine]

lul

[robust siren]

basically all 4 sides need it

[fluid ravine]

just do it for all 4

i did

just to be safe

like for some of them

one wall is like drenched in lube

while the other isn't

like wtf

[robust siren]

[robust siren]

but it gonna leak out under the pet film and get lube all over the pcb

[fluid ravine]

anyways but yea, ima stick with rawhuks in my v2, it's doing me well rn

[robust siren]

[fluid ravine]

and keep the titons on benom

[fluid ravine]

me when i took out the pet film

i swear no matter what i will never like tape mod

LOL

like there's no way

[robust siren]

have you heard mine

[fluid ravine]

yea

[robust siren]

though with what you like it isnt for you

[fluid ravine]

unfortunately not

sadge

but it sounds similar that's all i gotta say

ugh and i have to use the fricking poron foam pad

[young viper]

When finals are done I'll probably take apart my board and swap to friction and fix the stupid spacebar stabs😭

[fluid ravine]

geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

my alphas sounds full

but a tiny bit foamy

i want to take out the poron so the board has more volume

[robust siren]

TIL thockson is a nerd

[fluid ravine]

but the case reverb aint doing it for me

[fluid ravine]

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

yeah i shouldnt be talking

LOL

[young viper]

There is literally no space left in my case lol, poron foam and acrylic tape mod😭

[robust siren]

bro was speaking about mx switches as if i knew what they were too

[fluid ravine]

LOL

[robust siren]

i didnt do keyboard modding till i got wooting

[fluid ravine]

oh fr?

shi

i want to swap my neo65 pcb into its POM+4mm switch pcb but the ribbon cable in the baord is kinda goofy

to install

[robust siren]

i used a huntsman elite for 3 years before i got my 60he+ last year 💀

been on hyperx origin 60 for a good 6 months (my first board) until my mom spilled smoothie on it, then got the huntsman mini, then gmmk compact, then got my first wooting

[robust siren]

i get what you were tryna say about it sounding like a 4mm mx switch tho

or i think i do

[fluid ravine]

i unfortunately don't have any of my neo65 4mm switch recordings

i deleted them....

fah

[robust siren]

why does my 100g tikkens sound like this tho…

it sounds poppy

[chilly mural]

Man be watching dat shorts a lot lately

[fluid ravine]

yea....

...

[chilly mural]

Time for 100g setup!

[robust siren]

poppy titons

[young viper]

Wtf

[chilly mural]

Slightly lower pitched, but the sound profile is similar

[robust siren]

i cant use them bro

the sound disturbs me

otherwise for 100g switches they dont feel horrible

[fluid ravine]

hmx game 1989 or milky yellows

ima switch my mx board

[robust siren]

yeah as if i know what the fuck that sounds like

[fluid ravine]

just choose

they're both 4mm

its gonna be similar

[robust siren]

hmx

[fluid ravine]

aight

[robust siren]

yes

theyre

[young viper]

I just swapped one out and I can see what you mean compared to normal tikkens

[robust siren]

[chilly mural]

Hmx, cause it sounds cooler

[robust siren]

that doesnt sound nearly as bad as it does in my board

but quite the difference between normal titons

[young viper]

Mine isn't friction fitted. My board has all sorts of weird things with it lol

[fluid ravine]

ok one thing for sure i can say about mx and he
he is just stupid loud

[fluid ravine]

interesting

[robust siren]

holy eardrums

even on iphone speakers ts is loud

[fluid ravine]

maybe the slight difference in sound between the two is probably from spring weight and rebound

[robust siren]

the touch mute on the mic is unfortunately in a bad spot

[robust siren]

trim your nails already i can still hear them scratching the keycaps

[fluid ravine]

Lol mb

I need thoughtsv

[robust siren]

whats d and f

[fluid ravine]

Guess

D is interesting to me

[fluid ravine]

F rawhuk

D is Frankenstein of
Tikken Top Housing
Raw Stem
Tikken Spring
Tikken bottom housing

[robust siren]

S is sus

[fluid ravine]

Lmao

It's tikken

[robust siren]

how do raws being 3.4mm work in the tikkens that are 4mm

[fluid ravine]

ok oddly enough

i think the travel distance in these switches are coming from the stem....

i thought it was the bottom housing floors al this time

but apparently not

[robust siren]

i dont have a switch separator so i never tested frankenswitches

[fluid ravine]

i put the tikken stem into the duhuk bottom housing and it came out to be 4mm

when i put the raw stem in tikken bottom housing, its 3.5mm

[robust siren]

a

[chilly mural]

soo duhuk 4mm???

[robust siren]

now titon stem in raw housing

[fluid ravine]

o

[chilly mural]

[fluid ravine]

these rakken are loud af

almost as loud as duhuk i think

holy fuck

na

its shit

[robust siren]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1449511482915033120

[night atlas]

siiiiiiiiick

has the split spacebar shown any utility in any of your games?

I'm thinking about some binds for jett/waylay lol

[robust siren]

so far ive used it mainly in 2 games

valorant raze satchels and battlefield 6 rangefinder on sniper

[night atlas]

wait

are you a raze spacebar satchel-er too?

[robust siren]

i used to press q

and itd be impossible to strafe left

[night atlas]

ahhh ok, mine's on spacebar since I'm a scroll wheel jumper

yea i gotta find a good bind (no mouse keys) for my jett and waylay skills

[robust siren]

i havent tried for jett as (imo) easy enough to press dash and movement

and i dont play waylay

[night atlas]

yea, i just dash right a bit slower

i gotta think about it a bit more

which i find can get punished quite easily since some of my focus is off my aim

skill issue fasho but yea

[glacial wind]

all of those are in the database already, but honestly that's on us because we need to make a better index for people to know about the database

[night atlas]

database as in compatible switch list?

[glacial wind]

yep

which has sound tests too

[robust siren]

yeah i can see that happening

[glacial wind]

https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

[robust siren]

now that i think about it

idk how i dash right without any problems

i mean i probably just press both keys at once

[night atlas]

yea in theory, it's not that difficult, but i just suck lol

[night atlas]

ooo never even knew about this

[robust siren]

i need to figure out what i can use it for in other games

but so far its just val and bf6 out of my current fps game rotation

[night atlas]

all i play these days is val

[robust siren]

i lied, i also play cs

ig i can bind smoke for it

since i still scroll through my utilities which is horrible 💀

[chilly mural]

maybe with the extra spacebar you can use it to switch to the thing you want

[robust siren]

cs doesnt allow multi binding

i wish i could use 2 different keys for the same actiob

[chilly mural]

you can just bind 2 keys to be the same in wootility

[elder yacht]

Guys what switches do you recommend I want to get the gateron jades but apparently they’re “old”

[chilly mural]

if you can order from aliexpress, deep clack flux

Lekker tikken from wooting can do too

[elder yacht]

thanks! Do you have them?

[chilly mural]

yep, very nice. An upgrade from owlab TI HE

[elder yacht]

thanks! Do you have the gateron jades?

[ebon quiver]

any recommendation for a blank pbt keycap set with a split spacebar? preferably black/dark grey with cherry profile

[chilly mural]

no

[sacred elm]

PBTfans Lyla

[elder yacht]

I was thinking to get those aswell so now I’m between, the deep clack flux and the gateron jades

[polar girder]

DCF

[ebon quiver]

great, thank you!

[polar girder]

💯

[sacred elm]

Gateron Jades are ancient switches and not worth it anymore

[elder yacht]

why aren’t they worth it?!?

just because they are old?

[sacred elm]

Because there are cheaper and better options nowadays

[elder yacht]

example?

[sacred elm]

Anything from here https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

[elder yacht]

hm do they all sound better tho?

[sacred elm]

Most of them sound similar, maybe even a bit cleaner, because of less stem wobble

[elder yacht]

Ahh

[elder yacht]

Do you recommend the wuque studio deep flux

[sacred elm]

Yes

[elder yacht]

Where can I get it from?

[sacred elm]

AliExpress

[elder yacht]

AliExpress takes to long to ship 😭

anywhere else?

[sacred elm]

They are very expensive on other sites, unfortunately

[elder yacht]

What about the gateron jade pros?

same, they are old aswell?

@sacred elm

[ionic breach]

yea id say so

quite overpriced compared to what u can get now

[elder yacht]

Can anyone send me the link to buy them please?

[night atlas]

which one?

This one's for the WS Flux Deep Clacky, I just got mine today
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809841751975.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.4.648f1802UPIdIt&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

a bit pricier than when I got it for black friday, but isn't the worst it's been

They feel SUPER nice, I don't think it's get better than this

[fluid ravine]

@robust siren

I might be the clackson

[elder yacht]

Thanks!

so everyone recommends the ws flux?

[fluid ravine]

Raw stem in Tikken Housing
Lowk cleaner than rawhukies and a bit higher pitched

maybe ig i dont have to get crystal he

funny thing is that this is on fr4 as well
imagine what it would be like on alu

shiiiiiiii

need moar time cookin

[ruby hill]

[sacred elm]

They are great all-round switches, yes. If you get them, make sure it's pink Flux "Deep Clacky", white ones are very loud and sharp.

[bright ember]

i got geonraw

hows geon raw compare to dcf flux?

[sacred elm]

Worse wobble and louder

Flux is also smoother

[worthy merlin]

What cases are compatible with the 60he v2? I‘ve got my v1 in a standard white tofu clone, but the v2 won‘t fit 🙁

[little glen]

Wdym won‘t fit

If the v1 fit it should probably also work with v2

[glacial wind]

V2 should definitely fit normally if it’s same dimensions as a tofu. What part isn’t fitting?

[hollow lily]

What website can I use to purchase the phylina Thunderflash White switches?

[glacial wind]

Most use aliexpress, takes a bit for shipping but it’s much cheaper

[worthy merlin]

Its a so called „Poseidon“ Case, it was from aliexpress and has slightly more rounded edges inside the case. Its not fitting

[hollow lily]

Oh ok thank you

[glacial wind]

what do you mean by not fitting? the friction fit isn't going in?
