the poseidon cases come in a lot of variations, so it's tricky to know/picture exactly which one you mean

there's one that's literally just a tofu clone down to sharp sides

and another with borders round on outside

If the friction fit doesn't work, then you'll need to swap to the foam layer inside so that you can tray mount instead of friction fit

[worthy merlin]

Its just too tight

[glacial wind]

yeah then you'll need to grab the internal foam replacement (I assume you bought module since you have a different case), and remove friction fit + poron foam to use the tray mount foam instead

latest video on our youtube goes over that

[silver lantern]

I’m torn between two silent switches for my Wooting V2: Tecsee Magnetic HE or Haimu Dove HE. Which one is considered more premium in your opinion? I use my keyboard for FPS, MOBA, and internet navigation.

[hollow lily]

Does anyone have pictures how it would look with a acrylic case

[glacial wind]

not the haimu dove, those are least premium of all silent switches

[worthy merlin]

Thank you, but meh, i need to order the tray mount foam 🙁

[glacial wind]

huh? You should have it with your module

did you order a fully built one instead?

the bottom section of the module box has a tray mount foam container

[worthy merlin]

I ordered

Thats what i ordered

No tray foam

Wanted to swap the cases to resell my v1.

[glacial wind]

oh i see. We don't normally sell the tray mount foam separately, but if you send a support ticket on the website explaining the problem with those photos you showed, they might be able to hook you up

[worthy merlin]

Damn, ok will try, thank you!

[fossil stag]

hi, sorry if this has been asked before but i couldnt find an accurate anwser. i currently have a 60HE+ v1 module build in a tofu 60 redux. i want to add the friction fit pad and the PC switch plate.
website says the PC Plate won‘t fit the v2 module because of the fit pad. will i have the same issue on my v1?

[unborn sierra]

does this mean it'll come with the keycaps on or will I have to install them myself? if so would I need to buy any equipment to build it?

[little glen]

Self install, only equipment needed is hands

Fingers would help too

[glossy pagoda]

New video content idea, install keycaps without using your hands

[left depot]

made me think of that current challenge where people eat budding just using their mouth haha (so no spoon/hands)

[glossy pagoda]

Budding?

[unborn sierra]

is it only the US variant that comes with keycaps installed?

also is there any difference in sound profile between aluminium and the plastic case?

[hazy harness]

Anyone have any ideas what I can do about keyboard sliding, I have a holy60 case and it moves extremely easily around desk

[ionic breach]

https://keebmat.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopesyLGgR-hoTWJZPzl-7Zz60zH0EIvnt70t4ItBjf9abax8tMI

[harsh dove]

I am also curious, what is Budding

[oak jewel]

pudding with sbeech imbediment

[glossy pagoda]

In between my original and follow up message, I lost internet 😅

[neon nexus]

are there any GBs for the SquisHE switches?

[silk token]

I'm using a Phylina Thunderflash, what switch selector should I choose?

[tropic urchin]

Whichever switch shares the same travel distance or just use the lekkers and put in a spacer and match whatever travel it is

[ionic breach]

in stock limited sale

[copper breach]

im buying new switches for my wooting 80he what should i get i only realy care about it being low force to press and being pretty loud

[peak breach]

Lmao

[hazy night]

I bought some everglide rice pudding HE switches to try something different, they're low force and loud, the main reasons I hate them lmao. But they might be something for you, they were quite cheap.

[glacial wind]

Go have a listen to the popular recommended switches and pick one which sounds loud enough for you: https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

bottom force is listed for all the switches that have that info public, so you can see which is light enough for your needs

[copper breach]

thank u

[copper breach]

i will look into the rice puddings

[peak breach]

Now that the v2 has released the hype for the knob has reached it’s peak

However wooting havent been hyping it up or even marketing it or teasing it

[glacial wind]

Knob is quite a bit away still

It’ll be start of q2 for knob

[peak breach]

There’s probably a bunch of people interested in buying a wooting that have no idea a knob is comming

[peak breach]

Latest video it was end of q1 for the big one and the small one was still in the air

[glacial wind]

Not quite

[little glen]

Latest video is outdated

We‘re not getting knob before wootpad and 80he+ anyway

Source: i made it up

[glacial wind]

It’s basically rough end of q1 beginning of q2 for big knob and small knob is a bit after that because they want to test it more

Was mentioned in livestream before

[peak breach]

Damn

[glacial wind]

Basically big knob is in good state it’s just small knob they want to test more in some areas

[peak breach]

Sadly i like most people am interested in the smaller knob

Gotta give the knobs some weird names too

Knoebbi

And knoebr

[glacial wind]

Never again

No more rappy snappy tappy snappy

[peak breach]

Rappy spinny

[glacial wind]

By far the worst naming scheme in keyboard history

[little glen]

Call them knob v2 so people know it works with the 60he v2

[peak breach]

Wooting knob he

So they know it only works with wooting he keyboards

[chilly mural]

No, it needs a name like switchy

Snobby

[peak breach]

Snobby knobby

[cyan lark]

If I were a betting man I'd put a crisp $1 on other boards adding support for the knob once it's released.

[chilly mural]

Wootiwan Knobby

[tidal frigate]

@glacial wind averege size knob and big knob

[honest sparrow]

Hello team. Can someone tell me why if i tighten the screw (normal tight) behind the backspace key it becomes slow and mushy?

[chilly mural]

They will, the question is on what board

[honest sparrow]

I mean the pcb/plate ones

[chilly mural]

If it's on their older board, that'll be great, if it's proprietary only on their new board, im gonna avoid the brand like the plague

[cyan lark]

All of 'em 🙂

[peak breach]

0.01mm knob rotation

16k hz knob scanning

[glacial wind]

We’ve always said it works on all our boards that can handle it

So at the least all the 2he, 60he onwards should be compatible

the only thing that stops us updating older boards is hardware limitations like I believe the really old boards are running into memory issues now for the old old ones

[ornate quest]

Oh, be careful, remember the AVR Two HE, or is it confirmed good?

[jade prairie]

holy this keyboard is good

[glacial wind]

Not sure, I would assume depends on it having enough memory

the old pre arm ones are the ones where I’m not sure on their specs and how they handle adding new features since I do recall those older models were hitting memory limits

[jade prairie]

i dont know if its placebo, but i swear the 8k polling feels more responsive :D

[glacial wind]

If you have 0.1 enabled with new switch selector then it’s definitely snappier

[ornate quest]

That’s exactly why I mention it. People started complaining a bit for the switch selector now. So better mention that caveat if it exists

[glacial wind]

Our general policy is always if we can add it then we try, but if the hardware limits us then nothing we can do there

[peak breach]

Is it worth it trying the switch selector beta or is the full release close?

[glacial wind]

kind of like how we added socd to the older flare tech keyboards even though it’s definitely not as accurate on those old tech

[glacial wind]

There’s no harm using it, you can always roll back if you get bugs

It’s definitely snappier

[ornate quest]

I know just trying to make sure there’s no unhappy people because that wasn’t something mentioned from the start :)

[tidal frigate]

I'am waiting for gamepad update

[glacial wind]

The accuracy of the model at boot up is like 10x more accurate iirc

With the switch selector update vs old accuracy models

So auto calibration needs to do way more work to get things accurate vs the new switch selector starting model

[split owl]

Hi, guys.
I'm trying to buy a wooting 60hev2 module and build it, but I want to feel the rgb effect to the maximum, so I'm looking for a pc or acrylic transparent case. Any recommendations? Tofu redux is too expensive...

[honest sparrow]

No one?

[jade prairie]

what is a switch selector?

my old one was the first batch of wooting 60he non+ old mcu i believe

no this definitely isnt just placebo it feels incredible

[glacial wind]

it's in beta right now, but not able to be ported to some really old keyboards due to memory issues iirc

[rotund perch]

Sucks i have to wait even more for my switch puller to come so i can try my tikkens

[peak breach]

just use some tweezers

[rotund perch]

Idek where they are if we got any

[peak breach]

ur mom probably knows

damn raptors v2 arent on the switch selector yet

[elder yacht]

Guys does the ws flux switches let rgb shine through?

[honest sparrow]

Guys. i would like to use the special switches but not with 100g, If I put a tikken spring on the special switch will it work?

[misty sky]

hi yall! this is a 60he v2 with the friction fit pad in the original frog mini. fits pretty snug into the bottom portion of the case. i'm using the geonworks esd protection film underneath. anything else i should be worried about? 😮

[sacred elm]

Website doesn't say it doesn't fit because of friction pad. PC plate on the Wooting store is fully compatible with the 60HE+ and friction fit pad. It's not compatible with the 60HEv2, because top right standoff doesn't match the PCB.

[fossil stag]

alright got it, thanks for the help!

[elder yacht]

?

[trail bane]

Ig you’re good. One guy from sayodevice server actually uses PCBSnap, although in theory you could also use KeySnap cuz they’re thicker(#1132089342064590978 message)

What is better the thunder flash whites of the flux ws

[paper bison]

bro going from iso regular bar to ansi split has halfed my typing speed before im used to it lmao

[paper bloom]

DC Fluxs are bangers if u ask me

[elder yacht]

Alrifhttt

[elder yacht]

Ok

[misty sky]

ooh ill check that out 😮 ty!

[robust siren]

i highly recomend people to relube the 60he v2 stabs

under light, theres ZERO shine on the stem walls and felt dry as fuh

the lube on wires is ok

less than what id use

[humble surge]

hmm, interesting

[hot rivet]

Sorry if the pictures a bit unclear but what do these do? They came with my holy 60 case

[little glen]

Cant really tell what it is but is it maybe the feet? Idk what feet holy60 uses

[cyan lark]

Yes

[hot rivet]

the feet are little rubber rectangles, these arent the feet

theyre kinda like "circular" stickers

actually more like 3/4's of a circle

[little glen]

Yeah i really cannot tell what that is, the picture is so blurry i couldnt even make out if they are thicker rubber pieces or just stickers

[hot rivet]

they are a bit rubbery

i tried to get a better picture but it would not focus 😭

[paper bison]

why is the tikken topout sound so weird

[paper bison]

they sit on the semi circle cutouts on the inner edge of the case

like a little barrier between them and the pcb

[stray tiger]

The v2 was one of the first stock pre-builts I've had that the stabs sounded pretty good out of the box. I hit the left spacebar stab on one of the 2 boards with a little grease from the syringe and was golden.

[hot rivet]

Like these right?

[paper bison]

the stabs aren't bad, the only thing that bothers me with it stock is the top out sound of the tikkens, specifically some of the larger unstabiized keys like caps lock n tab

[hot rivet]

Oh wait not the one on the right

Thats a screw hole

[paper bison]

stil gonna replace the switches and stabilizers tho ngl

already got yikb stabs ready for when i can be bothered to lube them all and do it

[agile fjord]

Guys how do i get the keyboard out of the case 60 v2

[paper bison]

yes like the top and bottom ones , theres more on the left side top and bottom too iirc

[agile fjord]

Pls

[paper bison]

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

[hot rivet]

yea theres a bunch all over

tyvm

[humble surge]

👀

[rotund perch]

Might get those too

[chilly mural]

2 Goliath

[rotund perch]

Tx switch puller fr4 plate and tikkens are coming soon too

[dull fox]

Isn't the strap on the Wooting 60HE V2 written incorrectly? On the black side, the writing runs from the left, while on the yellow strap, it's written the wrong way around?

[elder yacht]

Guys what’s the real ws flux deep clack switches, can anyone send me the link. On AliExpress there are a ton of the same ones but idk what is the real one

[rotund perch]

all are real, I got them from GGBOY and I'm using them right now

or well probably all lemme check

[elder yacht]

AliExpress?

[rotund perch]

Any work

I just got them from the cheapest one

[elder yacht]

ah thanks

[elder yacht]

Wait the links are related to the vendor?

[rotund perch]

Yea

[elder yacht]

ah

[elder yacht]

The cheapest is the MMD Ainy

[rotund perch]

Get them from there then

[elder yacht]

ah ok thanks a lot, have you received them yet?

[rotund perch]

The ones I ordered are from ggboy and they're great

[hot rivet]

How do fluxs compare to the tikkens?

Like is it worth the upgrade?

[sacred elm]

If you want less wobble, yeah

[tropic urchin]

MMD ainy is legit

Same with GGboy, I’d just get whatever is cheapest, they should come in the same maroon container

[jade prairie]

why do my gmks have light bleed

[shadow marten]

hello, can someone help to configure a key lock on my wooting 60he+ cause i don't want to press the windows key during my game but, i want to use it when i'm not in game. How can i do that ?

[sacred elm]

Fn + Caps + Win

[shadow marten]

ehhh, what is caps ? like i don't understand

[sacred elm]

Caps lock

[shadow marten]

i try but its doesnt work

did you have to go to the remapper ?

(sorry i'm french and dumb...)

[sacred elm]

Go in Wootility > Remap > Fn Layer 1 and bind Key lock

[soft epoch]

Could not wait, so temp keycaps til the new ones arrives!

[shadow marten]

no video on yt for tut ? i really can't

[sacred elm]

Did you bind key lock in Wootility?

[shadow marten]

yes

[soft epoch]

Idk if I like these heavy tikken switches though.
They did indeed live up to their description "ridiculously heavy"

[shadow marten]

no i got my key always lock ahahah

you gonna get mad bro

sorry abt that

[soft epoch]

Just remove the windows key and put fn1 there instead

[shadow marten]

WAIT

i think i finnaly did it

@sacred elm, tk so much

i appreciate it

[proven wadi]

@elder yacht i didnt like them at all, to heavy for me. they sounded nice tho

[vernal haven]

Any guides on how to fit the 60he V2 module in a Tofu Redux case?

[little prairie]

was socd the only thing i couldnt use in cs2

[rotund perch]

Yeah I think so

rapid triggers fine

[young viper]

Friction or screw in? Same case I used for my v2 module

[vernal haven]

Which is best?

I guess I'd prefer friction?

Tad easier

[young viper]

Friction is going to isolate the sounds of the board to the board and negate case reverb

[vernal haven]

Which is quieter and more muted?

[young viper]

Super easy, just push fit the module into the case until it rests on the standoffs inside the case

Are you using the tofu brass weight?

[vernal haven]

Yes

I've got the Tofu Redux

With a brass weight, originally had my 60he+ in there

[young viper]

If you like it more muted then replace the friction fit with the foam insert on the module and make sure the case has that bottom layer of foam. You will have to screw in then

[vernal haven]

Okey, thank you very much! Are there guides online on how to do this?

[elder yacht]

wdym by "heavy"

[rotund perch]

spring weight

[elder yacht]

too hard to push??

[sacred elm]

They are not hard to push. 50g is a balanced weight.

Most switches are 50g

[tropic urchin]

Ppl that like 40-45g spring weight dislike 50g and above for being heavy

For them they like the lightness

And unfortunately flux doesn’t have a 40-45g option

[young viper]

Im going into my final or I'd check, its super straight forward though

[vernal haven]

Okey, thanks for the help 🙂

[proven wadi]

@elder yacht yes to "hard" to push for my taste, i like ~35-40g. my 7 year old son loved them tho :p

[young viper]

On the tape mod on the module it has letters next to some of the screw holes. Ones labeled P will remove the plate, letting you replace the middle with that foam

[elder yacht]

Woah, should be fine for me tho, I’m just using the stock wooting switches so I probably won’t notice the difference!

[sacred elm]

Fluxes are lighter than stock switches

[elder yacht]

Even better ha

[elder swift]

if i want lighter springs should i get 20g or 30g is 20 too light?

[young viper]

Totally personal preference, I'd feel the 20's would be way too light

Makes it harder to do short acuation distances id think

[sacred elm]

Just use friction fit in Tofu. Using foam and tray mount will not be muted.

[little prairie]

buy mmd c1 theyre 35

[young viper]

Wouldn't the silicone make the outer keys poppier?

Or am I totally wrong lol

[tropic urchin]

Silicone just emphasizes the higher ends so it just sounds louder/higher pitched

[rotund perch]

On ali it says my swithc puller and plate are at my local airport, maybe it will arrive sooner than I thought

But then it says package left transit country

idk im too dumb to understand ts

[humble surge]

Always refer to the one that's further along, transit country was some tricky wording for some status that i forgot what it was, but i beleive it's in your country already as it says.

(like i had it before and i found it confusing myself, but iirc it turned out it was positively progressed already, thats all i remember)

[young viper]

Ali delivered a set of iems 2 weeks ago and I keep getting apologies and the occasional coupon from Ali because they think my package still hasn't been delivered

[rotund perch]

Yeah its said that 2 times so

[humble surge]

kek, never told them the truth

[rotund perch]

Cuz ima have to install my tikkens somehow

[humble surge]

Fair

i'm happy i got my 2 dollar switch and keycap puller set, was a hell of a deal

[young viper]

I need to order myself a wire keycap puller at some point

[humble surge]

what is that?

[young viper]

https://divinikey.com/products/metal-keycap-puller?srsltid=AfmBOopjDDQUdZDYMG0mRvJpZMkvWE4DTlUqdXBX8nCc59iBg5KJJrTz

It's so you don't damage clear keycaps like your standard puller will

[humble surge]

ohh i see what you mean by wire now

[young viper]

Or can

[humble surge]

Any other type damages them?

[tulip rapids]

did turingtest post his 60v2 yet ?

[young viper]

Cheapy plastic ones that just grab the edge of the keycap can

[humble surge]

I wonder if mine do then, although mine are metal

[young viper]

You're probably fine

It's just since these grab under neath the whole keycap rather than just the sides it makes it super easy to pull caps

Especially like shift keys where you don't want to bend the stab wire

[humble surge]

Seems reasonably more safe, will probably get a few whenever i see sales

[stray tiger]

If youre going to buy a new puller, get something really nice https://www.instagram.com/turntwoodpullers/ (real life friend of mine so I can vouch)

[humble surge]

Don't have an insta or can load that, does he have a store or something?

[uneven cradle]

Those are sick

gentlemen today we lost a flux switch

pc plate and wooting plastic switch puller took a life today

[sacred elm]

Get a real puller

[tulip rapids]

fr

need to switch off pc plate

as well

[marsh saffron]

I just do the caveman method of pushing them out of the plate

[sacred elm]

I've pulled them countless times, all legs are fine

https://tenor.com/view/skillissue-skill-issue-gif-22125481

[tulip rapids]

yeah I could have done that night but im lazy

[marsh saffron]

I find it a lot less annoying than using a puller

[tulip rapids]

I gotta order more fluxes anyways

[marsh saffron]

But my puller is some shit tier aliexpress garbage

[tulip rapids]

did I ask ? Today we lost a flux brother dammit !!!

[uneven cradle]

Didn't deep clacky fluxes fix that issue?

[robust siren]

https://tenor.com/view/skillissue-skill-issue-gif-22125481

[tulip rapids]

I know bro ain't talking when he broke his free tikkens

[tulip rapids]

When ?

[uneven cradle]

Well youd need to break 4 or 5 Tikkens to make up for the 1 flux breaking

[tulip rapids]

dw gore will find a way

[robust siren]

what free tikkens, i bought them

[tulip rapids]

sure.

you did

I'm not sure if it was or not tbh

It's happening

[fluid ravine]

Yesssirrrr

[marsh saffron]

Why cant my delivery drivers be that fast when somethings out for delivery

[atomic hound]

i have a quick question, ive bought the optimum case and decided to use it with friction-fit pad but now the keys like kinda feel heavier(?) to press or something like that, is it the friction-fit pad fault or im just delusional?

[snow tapir]

Orderred me a two HE 2 days ago I NEED IT NOWWW

[marsh saffron]

Unless you did something wrong, delusional

[atomic hound]

did everything the same like others on youtube

put the pad between plate and pcb

then slided it into case

[marsh saffron]

Does it feel like thst on all keys or only a few?

[atomic hound]

i would say all of them

[marsh saffron]

I believe you could be delusional

[atomic hound]

you're probably right

[brave rapids]

no black plate options available anywhere for v2 split yet right?

[hot rivet]

im getting a bit of pinging from my ceramic spacebar key, and tips on how to fix this?

[uneven cradle]

Lubing stabilizers

[hot rivet]

NOOOOOOOOO

okay but like unironically, is there anything else i can do?

i dont have lube, and dont really feel like going out the way jus for one stab

[uneven cradle]

That would be what I would try first tbh and most likely to be the issue

Can try some other things but they would be more band aid fixes

[hot rivet]

rip

it has to be a specific type of lube right?

not like

freaky lube

or like some type of lubricant in general

[hot rivet]

ahh okay

well thats unfortunate

[sacred elm]

Is there pinging if you use normal keycap? If not, then it's not your stabilizer issue

[hot rivet]

its literally only my spacebar

[hot rivet]

no

thats why i thought it was a keycap issue

[sacred elm]

Probably a keycap then

[hot rivet]

maybe like foam tape under the spacebar?

[uneven cradle]

Could use some dieeletric grease probably the easiest and cheapest to get your hands on

[sacred elm]

Get a spacebar foam and put it into your ceramic keycap if you can

[hot rivet]

what counts as spacebar foam?

[uneven cradle]

Any foam you can shove in there, you can buy pre cut foam specifically for it

[hot rivet]

LOL

wait

theres foam in the wooting spacebar

ill jus take it from there lol

nvm its like glued in there

I got these linworks green keycaps coming in

[fluid ravine]

linkkkk

it reminds me of pbtfans emma shade of green but not see through

[uneven cradle]

Not sure you'll find green in stock outside of cafege now where I got them https://cafege.com.au/products/linworks-keycaps

They do have a nice range of colours

[calm pulsar]

always wanted these, should've got them along with the frog mini from cafege

Yeah the green slaps, looks clean on silver/raw

[young viper]

Damnn those look nice

I'm working on fixing the stupid spacebar tuning rn😔

Need to retape the bottom too which is annoying

Might swap to friction fit and see how it feels

lowk yea

i took mine out

[tropic urchin]

wired in cable might have something

[fluid ravine]

i should've listened to the difference and see how big of a difference it was

[honest sparrow]

left is pet film, right is no pet film

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine there was so much lube

on the pet film

[fluid ravine]

right??

[robust siren]

and pcb

😭

[fluid ravine]

i like the right one more

not cus of pitch but more cus of clarity

[honest sparrow]

horrible to be honest, and i also I had to change stabs...

[young viper]

There so much lube on the stabs lmao

[honest sparrow]

to be honest i was a bit disappointed with the house tuning, but its hit or miss, the one my friend got was good

[honest sparrow]

more clarity and more lower frequencies, sounds creamier with pet film, and I dislike

dislike..

[robust siren]

only on the wires

[fluid ravine]

which one

[robust siren]

there was no lube on the stab walls

[young viper]

Yeah

[robust siren]

stab walls were dry as fuh

[honest sparrow]

true, the stems on mine were just half lubed. Like only one portion vertically

not sure if im keeping the tikkens...

[young viper]

I'm realizing I over lubed one of the stabs for my spacebar so now I get to figure out how to unlube it lol

[honest sparrow]

A tikkens, F owlabs

Also I used my megabrain and I got some of the heist special switches and just changed the housing with the regular tikkens. So now they are usable xD

[young viper]

I didn't even think of doing that lol

[honest sparrow]

Which part? In my experience better use microfiber cloth or something smooth, not paper with particles, also you can try with cotton swabs dipped in alcohol

[fluid ravine]

liking my rakkens a bit too much on my venom
Should be using my v2 and getting use to the split bar

[honest sparrow]

listen, first I thought about changing the spring, I opened both, and i realize they are the same switch and it was easier to change the housing xd

[fluid ravine]

@honest sparrow what's your current config build rn?

[young viper]

Housing it seems, you feel a slight stick on the left stab when pressing it down

[honest sparrow]

Microfiber cloth with alcohol maybe so it doesnt leave paper residue

[young viper]

Yeah that's what I was thinking

[honest sparrow]

What do you mean? Switches and stuff or soft config?

[fluid ravine]

like what's the build list

[young viper]

Either it's the upper portion of the housing sticking or somehow some got on the bottom and it's hitting the pet film

[honest sparrow]

In my experience it can get slow. Also back in the day I washed them with water

[honest sparrow]

Lekker tikkens, swagkeys knights v4 stabs, anodized grey tofu and gmk 8008 2

But not sure if Ill keep the tikkens

[young viper]

Thought of water at first and then saw the bottle of isopropyl on my desk lmao

[honest sparrow]

Just burn the pet film, it is the devil

[young viper]

I might try it without and just see

[honest sparrow]

I mean, it makes the key sound creamier and high pitched. But I rather clarity and more raw sound

[young viper]

I made the mistake of applying "keeb tape" to the bottom of the normal tape mod and well it's not coming off lmao

[honest sparrow]

Jesus bro. It has already enough tape. And im pissed cause they put screws under the tape

[young viper]

I noticed that when doing the stabs

I don't see the point of marking some of the stabs on the tape but then hiding some also lol

[honest sparrow]

I am a bit disappointed. The hardware is fire, but not happy with the other new stuff

Pet film didnt like, mod tape didnt like, stabs ticking and bad

The fr4 plate... I liked the pc better. Easier to work with and not a bit fan of the sound

And the tikkens sound scratchy to me and they dont have a clean sound profile

[young viper]

I noticed if you listen real closely there's a odd scratchy noise yeah

[honest sparrow]

They would be really great if they didnt were scratchy. They sound marbly, heavy clacky and deep

But the sound is far from clean, just check the comparison, the owlab is the cleanest also

[tropic urchin]

why is this the size of the sun

🤣

[calm pulsar]

lmao wtf

[honest sparrow]

Lol, no clue. It comes with my nothing phone from stock lol

I have more of them

I send them to my gf all the time

[young viper]

https://divinikey.com/products/keykobo-nichirin-keycaps?variant=42296837406785

I'm having to fight myself to not order some of these😭

[rough hedge]

Factory lube is inconsistent with tikkens. Hand lubbing helps

[honest sparrow]

I was thinking about how I didnt even check if it was lubed

Did you do it?

[tropic urchin]

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=123620.0

similar theme but has some really sick novelties too

if you like black and gold that is

[rough hedge]

I've hand lubbed a few, definitely feels better.
Opening a few of them some places are dry and lacking, some are well lubbed

[honest sparrow]

What did you do? Bottom? Spring? Stem? Housing?

The spring might be dry, maybe that makes them scratch

[rough hedge]

Mostly the stem and housing where the rails sit

[honest sparrow]

Will try one now

[young viper]

I saw those, super neat, definitely going to be on my radar lol

[young viper]

I did one when I first got them, similar enough I didn't bother with the others, but little bit better scratchiness wise

Every day there's a little demon in my head whispering to buy them lol

[honest sparrow]

D is lubed, what do we think?

I would say they dont scratch anymore

ddddddaassssssssssddddsssddddddddddldldldldldldldldlddddddsssssssddddsdsssddddddddsdddddddddssddsddsdsddsdsdsddsdsdsdsdsdsddsdssdsddsddddddddsssdddddddddddddsssdddddddddfdfdfdfffffffdddddffffdddddd (testing, dont mind me)

[tulip rapids]

Nani a Gato saiyan

[glacial wind]

Honestly sounds like you don’t like tikkens sound profile and it’s not about lube. Which is totally okay, that’s what modding and different switches are for

Don’t need to force yourself to like a sound profile if it’s just not for you

[young viper]

I wonder what could possibly make this weird sticking sound on the stabs??? The blob of lube on the pet film under the stab

[sacred elm]

Probably need to reposition the PET film a bit

I'd remove stabilizers and clean the lube on the PET film

[robust siren]

bro theres so much lube under the pet film

[young viper]

Yep, that's what I'm doing now

[young viper]

Yeah, I'm think it actually was the pet film not completely set like shafie said

[sacred elm]

Yeah, I doubt it was because of the lube

[young viper]

Cleaned the board under the film, the film itself and the stab alongside resetting the film, seems to be good on it now

Man I hate it only the spacebar stabs lmao

[swift slate]

anyone know if 60he v2 board fits in holy 60 case

[robust siren]

yes

[swift slate]

can it use the friction pad or screw in only

[tame garnet]

The holy60 looks so cool, im just afraid it will sound awful

[robust siren]

you can use friction

but ground it

[swift slate]

bet thanks

[robust siren]

the bottom cover can somewhat improve it but i’d rather have a full enclosed case

[tame garnet]

Im using the Tofu 60 Redux and really enjoy the sound of it. Ill probably just stick with it

[robust siren]

i wanted a different colored case after i got my keycaps so i swapped off the tofu

[tame garnet]

Im sure it wont be the only case my V2 goes inside lol

[robust siren]

kbdfans gt-60

https://tenor.com/view/mr-peabody-hypnotize-gif-18017563854157472082

[tame garnet]

The gt60 does look cool

[robust siren]

get it with matching colored accent pieces

unless youre into that wood thing

[young viper]

Do I need to ground on the tofu 60?

[robust siren]

yeah, i use the screw near backspace

or you can sand down a spot and put a metal sponge somewhere

[young viper]

Ah okay

[hot rivet]

What kind of foam is under the spacebar of the v2?

[hot rivet]

I have some mediocre sound recordings if youd like to hear the difference between the stock case and holy 60

The holy sounds marginally higher pitched and hollow but overall still sounds really good to me

[fluid ravine]

personally im struggling with working on 4mm switches with HE boards
even though i enjoy the 4mm feel, i can't find myself to enjoy the sound profile of the tikkens especially with the upstroke

I guess i'll be forever stuck with switches with a really high pitched bottom out

the louder the better ig, it helps masks the top out sound for me

[glacial wind]

i think tikkens are always going to trend a little more towards normies liking it vs enthusiasts, but that's fine since normies are the ones buying majority of wootings

you'll find a lot of regular joes want more quiet switches, whereas a lot of modding crew care more for quality of sound note or clarity etc

[fluid ravine]

thats valid

[young viper]

Before with foam layer and keeb tape left. With friction fitting, normal tape mod and retuned stabs right

[fluid ravine]

Well HE still got a long way to go for my taste in good sounding switches

But still happy to see the improvement that's coming along

[young viper]

@robust siren

[glacial wind]

i actually think that's what separates people that understand how to review vs. kids on twitter and such. You find a lot of the HE enthusiast groups who exist solely on twitter or discord mostly review based on 'if it's not what we prefer than you're wrong and it's bad'

whereas people who are good at reviewing know how to review based on what customers or different target audiences like

[fluid ravine]

Mmm

[glacial wind]

it's kind of like how I'm unsure on UFO feel, but there will be people that love it if they don't mind friction in exchange for stability

whereas someone who hates friction will say UFO are the worst

[fluid ravine]

Is it like lekkersxraptors back in the day?

[glacial wind]

yep it's exactly like that, and a bit more friction than that too

it constantly feels a bit tight

[fluid ravine]

Oh what the hell

Ok I can see where youre going with this

[young viper]

Has the feature to select a switch been added to wootility yet or is that still in development?

[glacial wind]

i think when people recommend switches it's very easy to forget whether their recommendation fits the persons preferences and they just blindly shout 'this switch!' at people

[sacred elm]

Wootility > Settings > Switch selector

[glacial wind]

whereas if you want to be good at recommending you need to accomodate what people want in their own preferences and throw your own preferences out

[fluid ravine]

And view it from their point of view and liking

[glacial wind]

yeah exactly. the ability to view things from someone elses pov is something very lacking in a lot of the hyper enthusiast 'this is our pick' community

[fluid ravine]

WhAtS tHe ThOcCiEsT sWiTcH i CaN bUy?

[trail bane]

Meh

[rotund perch]

My tikkens have arrived

I managed to get 3 inside

sacrificing 1 dcf

honestly, I don't feel the wobble

thought I would feel it alot more

I think it's a bit deeper than fluxes

Honestly not mad

[proven wadi]

ohh TCC flip King switches arrived "Your package arrived at local airport
Dec 17, 05:15 (GMT+1)" in Sweden today, the joy! 🙂

[fallen pecan]

60v2 latency

0.1 ap, 0.1 rt, tachyon ON with OG koms

[chilly mural]

with or without tachyon?

[fallen pecan]

with

[chilly mural]

Wooting lost

🥀

[sacred elm]

Doesn't make sense

[glacial wind]

now i question that guys entire testing lol

because there's no way the 60he v2 is performing worse than the 80he with more keys and a less powerful mcu

[fallen pecan]

could it be due to the beta firmware? he was using the switch selector in his vid

[glacial wind]

no idea, maybe he used the older beta with more jitter? But i'm not sure why that would make the latency results so much lower

[fallen pecan]

he also noted that with 0.1mm ap, the key was wobbling at 0.13mm

[glacial wind]

i forget is this the guy that does direct voltage test or how does he do his testing normally?

there's definitely something gone wrong with this test

[fallen pecan]

his is normal testing

solenoid

[glacial wind]

very odd

[fallen pecan]

lemme get a clip of the wobble

[glacial wind]

i wonder what version beta firmware he was using

does he show the firmware he used anywhere?

there was an early beta firmware that had jitter issues with rt

[fallen pecan]

5.3.0 beta 1

[glacial wind]

hrm beta 1 should be fine for that, no idea what went wrong in his test then

because internally we get 60he v2 definitely being faster than 80he

although the difference is fairly minor since it's all 8k stuff, but it's definitely not slower

[glacial wind]

the especially wierd part is the 80he would be on the old less accurate and sensitive options

which would further make it so 80he shouldn't be testing faster in his test since it's on the old less accurate firmware

[fallen pecan]

ye i rmb his 80he test was on 0.1 ap 0.15 rt

[glacial wind]

yeah i don't really understand how he ended up with these results, but honestly i've been seeing a lot of weird results from various reviewers

i'm starting to think maybe a lot of the hardware used is just imprecise, like was in techless or jerrorr that found wooting 0.1 actuated at 0.05 or something like that

[fallen pecan]

i personally dont cross compare results, they might get ballpark numbers but honestly only relevant to the individual tester's suite

[glacial wind]

yeah but i mean more not cross comparing, but rather the range of rankings is changing a lot in each testers suites

like jerrorr has it beating the venom in his latency test, then another guy will have wooting losing to old models of wooting boards

[fallen pecan]

expected since there's no standard

[glacial wind]

i'm starting to wonder wtf is the margin of mistake for these tests lol

because we definitely can't be both beating the venom and losing to 80he with the v2 at the same time

[little glen]

I‘m starting to think all of these tests are bs and should be ignored

[sacred elm]

Agree.

[little glen]

Only people that care that much are gear copers that think it‘s their gear that is holding then back from hitting plat or some shit

When a russian guy with a soviet era ball mouse beats them in a 1v1

[chilly mural]

And soviet era HE board!

[glacial wind]

anyway oled monitor ordered

eyejoker got me with his stupid deal and christmas smile

[little glen]

Wooting still catching up with their technology

[chilly mural]

Ayy, one must imagine, sno being happy

[little glen]

I was considering an OLED monitor

Maybe i‘ll get one sometime next year

[glacial wind]

literally went to check oled price and eyejoker is there staring at me

i wonder how much they paid him because the monitor is already sold out in 30 mins, but i don't know how much stock they had

[chilly mural]

Maybe 60hev2 soo good, every measurements unable to measure how good it is.

[glacial wind]

it's kind of the eternal issue in that some people went to direct voltage to test latency more accurately but then brands started cheating in that and it made solenoid more accurate, but then solenoid still has issues of physical limitations of inaccuracy in the hardware

so i don't really know what would be the solution

[little glen]

I know

Vibes based testing

"This one feels a little faster"

[sacred elm]

I'm sure they'll retest it later and results will be better. Just doesn't make sense 60HE v2 being worse than 80HE with previous firmware without performance improvements and switch selector

[chilly mural]

Be turning keyboard reviewer into audio reviewers

[fallen pecan]

rtings also has it in their pipeline

but gonna take a while since they only test purchased copies

[glacial wind]

i'm curious about how it'll do on rtings, because at least theirs seems to be logically consistent results even if not everyone loves their methodology

[atomic hound]

is there any easy way to take out plate and etc with friction-fit pad out of the case?

[glacial wind]

was it them that discovered the drunkdeer crazy high release latency? iirc it was lol

back when drunkdeer keyboards would suddenly introduce a ton of release latency on some settings

[glacial wind]

what do you mean? Like remove only the plate?

[atomic hound]

i mean take the keyboard apart

because i cant get it out lmao

[sacred elm]

https://youtu.be/DF6i5ozV5bY

Watch this video

[little glen]

i forget how they were doing it

was it just someone manually pressing a key?

[atomic hound]

do i have that plastic thingy with optimum case?

[sacred elm]

Orange puller? It comes with the module.

[fallen pecan]

rtings also on solenoid

[atomic hound]

i dont have a module, ive ordered only optimum case

How to get module out of Optimum case - timestamped

[atomic hound]

somehow i pulled it out after putting normal wooting 60he keycaps and tried to pull them out with keycap puller

[honest sparrow]

I kinda like the tikkens. I put them next to the owlabs and the owlabs sound cleaner but I still went ahead with the tikkens because I partly like how they sound. I indeed opened one and it was barely lubed, just a bit on the stem. After slightly lubing it, the sound is 100% cleaner

I just put the minimal lube you can put in the rails, housing and spring.

They sound different to everything else I have, they are fun. For example the owlabs have the cleanest sound of them all to me (at least then ones I tried) but they are super plain and boring.

[fickle dragon]

ok u might be able to help me. my wooting 80he jus touched down today, plastic case btw. i kinda like the clacky sound of the l60 switches but i am not really a big fan of the stem wobble and i think some lube or diff stabs might help. i thought about getting the owlab TIs. how is the wobble on those?

[honest sparrow]

No wobble at all. I changed the l60's on my first 60+ cause the wobble was unbearable to me

[fickle dragon]

im convinced. gonna order a set now. did you need to lube them?

[honest sparrow]

Owlabs dont need lube

Left tikkens, right owlabs

[sacred elm]

They still wobble, saying "no wobble at all" is just wrong.

[honest sparrow]

Yeah like every switch has some amount of it, of course inexistent wobble is not a thing

[sacred elm]

Compared to more stable switches, Owlab's wobble is noticeable

[fallen pecan]

the ufos have less wobble than the owls

[fickle dragon]

sound profile of the owlabs is pretty nice. what other less wobbly switches have a similar one? gotta be linear too

[glacial wind]

yeah ufo are just as zero wobble as you can get for overall i think. Although there's a couple switches that are maybe more 'locked' at the bottom

[sacred elm]

https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

[honest sparrow]

To be honest in my opinion there is a point when there is no need to look for even less wobble. I play thoundands of hour of counter strike per year and you cant notice the wobble while playing. Its just for flexing after certain point

[sacred elm]

Maybe you can't, but others can.

[honest sparrow]

Thats my opinion, I dont know what they do with their keebs

But wobble on cs2 is pretty annoying.

[fickle dragon]

yeah i dont think the stock wobble on L60 is hindering my gaming experience, i do like to have a pretty sturdy keycap that doesnt glide w my finger tho. jus a feeling ting

[cyan lark]

I don’t think it makes you better or worse at the game, but it just feels better to me when the keys are stable

Personal preference as always

[tropic urchin]

Owlabs bottom wobble kinda sucks for hold lean fps games (Tarkov/other fps)

Their top wobble is fine, tikken top wobble imo is a decent crash out

[honest sparrow]

To me whats most important is stability and the spring going back up as fast as possible for counter strafing. Other games with different mechanics might benefit from that, but I believe the only key that bottoms out on cs is the W for walking

[glacial wind]

got my ttc flips today, will test them properly tomorrow since i have to finish a video edit first

initial impression though is they are definitely more muted than normal ttc and there might be a minor improvement in top wobble

but need to properly play around with them tomorrow

[fickle dragon]

yeah so the top wobble makes me angry too lmao

[glacial wind]

wait maybe it's not an improvement in top wobble but they learnt to lube

[trail bane]

Ayo let’s go

[glacial wind]

good lord

everyone

ttc has learnt to lube. These rails have some lube on them

[sacred elm]

Took them how many years?

[fickle dragon]

insane news

[trail bane]

4 dots now instead of 3 btw

[sacred elm]

[glacial wind]

now i'm curious to test it more tomorrow

[fickle dragon]

im still wondering why i just bought a wooting, fell into modding rabbit hole whilst also building a new pc ... my financial decisions could be studied

[chilly mural]

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

Ttc for 2026

[glacial wind]

if ttc has learnt to lube their new koms and onwards could actually be more solid all rounder picks, but we'll see when i do more tests tomorrow

[cyan lark]

🎉 we are so back

[chilly mural]

It's the effect of looking at this channel

I prescribed you with touching grass

[glacial wind]

at least you didn't get convinced by eyejoker to spend $1k on a new monitor today

[fickle dragon]

[trail bane]

[little glen]

never thought i would see the day

ttc and lube in the same sentence

[trail bane]

It crazy cold🥶

[rotund perch]

tikkens are my favorite switches now congrats wooting

[little glen]

leggera nice

i think i'm gonna give mine to my brother

[tropic urchin]

I was expecting to crash out over the spring weight but A- didn’t feel close to where flux/owlabs have top wobble which is unfortunate

[little glen]

tikken top wobble is fine

could be a lot worse and i think thats kinda the tradeoff with 4mm

[rotund perch]

Its fine for me

Indeed

[dreamy ore]

Does anyone have any insight on where I can source a Geonworks Frog Mini Leggera Case In Acrylic for my Wooting v2 Module?

[fluid ravine]

Acrylic Leggera is not compatible with the v2

For the acrylic version of the Leggera there's only the "G" option being gummy mount. V2 doesn't support gummy mount nor does it support center USB which the Leggera G uses

[dreamy ore]

Ah fair enough, such good looking case, wonder if theres any similar alternatives

[silver lantern]

Hi guys if someone help me with my wooting v2 split bar with the optimum case

[sacred elm]

You don't need any of those two above

Just put the v2 module in the case, then install switches and keycaps

[silver lantern]

Oh just that thanks 🙏

[sacred elm]

No screws needed btw, just align the USB port and you're good

I’ll be fitting them into an optimum case

nevermind, im too lazy

[compact field]

Let’s see what these are like

[silver lantern]

So happy 😍😍😍

[half pewter]

does low profile keycap make a difference in overall height comparing to oem keycaps on v2 keyboard/switch? or does it just covers the switch more but more higher overall?

[cyan lark]

It would not reduce the overall height since the switches are not low profile, and would look something like this.

[half pewter]

cool, thanks

[silver lantern]

Now enjoy 😉 thanks wooting gang

What is that cable for your keyboard ?

[trail bane]

Looks like xray cable

[slow storm]

Ohh, thanks :)

[silver lantern]

x ray cable yes

[rotund perch]

Is that a 32 inch monitor?

I'd guess so cause damn thats 1 big monitor

cool keeb too tho, hope you enjoy it bro

[silver lantern]

bionic eyes yes is the Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDM

32 inch

[tropic urchin]

Fellow PG32UCDM enjoyer 🌹

[rotund perch]

ngl I might've went with 32"

its all 4k

[glacial wind]

32 4k is real nice for rpg/solo games, it's like having a tv to play on basically lol

[tropic urchin]

27” simulation mode is nice for fps

[uneven cradle]

My next monitor definitely either 4k or 5k 32"

[rotund perch]

Yea but I don't think 9070xt handles 4k THAT well

[fringe quarry]

5k dualmode oled 2026 pls

[slow storm]

what switches are you using ?

[tropic urchin]

Wish I had the setup for an arm instead of the stand 🥀

[glacial wind]

i cracked today already and got the new asus, so i'm out for 5 years now

[uneven cradle]

Damn, that's a nice monitor was it the white one?

[glacial wind]

yeah the silver one. Eyejoker had a launch day promotion with asus and it was like $400-500 less than normal

I wish there was 32" 1440p but that would be poor PPI lol

I wouldn't really wanna use 4K with 9070xt

I'm surprised at how well my brothers 5070 handles 4k though

But honestly id be pissed at having 1 32" and 1 27"

[glacial wind]

at least korea actually has stock of the asus monitors. I heard NA won't even get them for another month or two

[rotund perch]

Cause 2 4k monitors would be way too much

[uneven cradle]

Oh yeah well I'm sure in a year from now NZ might have a few

[slow storm]

what about 2x27" 1440p or something like that?

[glacial wind]

even korea i'm not even sure how many they got because the sale was sold out in 30 mins and it's out of stock in all of korea now

[rotund perch]

Yeah thats what i want

cause 2 4k for 9070xt

is

uhm questionable

Well now that I've put it all back together again after lubing stabilizers, she's ready. Split Gang

[rotund perch]

my stablizer isnt straight but im replacing it eventually so

hopefully fr4 plate is here soon

might be this week

or monday

Idk why but im always the most stressed during connecting the jst cable

[uneven cradle]

You can usually straighten the wire by hand as long as you have a flat surface

[rotund perch]

Is it difficult to break

[uneven cradle]

Should be pretty hardy as long as it's not crazy bent

[rotund perch]

I might try whenever my plate arrives

Hopefully i wont break anything

[tropic urchin]

Short JST just requires you to angle it a certain way

Longer JST with GT80 lets you angle it wherever you want for the most part

[honest sparrow]

Hey guys. My 60v2 iso is arriving tomorrow and I am wondering if anyone knows if the old friction fit pad works with the 60v2 too

[rotund perch]

That makes me want to get the included daughterboard with gt-80 but idk

or the add-on i mean

[half pewter]

what's a good site to get keycaps for split spacebars in US?

[uneven cradle]

Gonna be dependent on the set, it varies quite a bit and options are a lot more limited

[half pewter]

yeah... struggling to find a set that shine-through, originally wanted a low profile set, which is more rare and already given up on that, but still can't find a good set with just shine-through...

[tropic urchin]

Don’t, just use the Wooting db

There’s something with the KBDfans DB that feels borderline incompatible and you will feel something being wrong every so often

Not worth it

[rotund perch]

ah

I hate the jst cable

Idk why i feel like ill break it

Lol

[rotund perch]

After looking at videos of balancing stablizer wires i no longer want to do that

[candid apex]

what r some good places to buy keycaps from

[young viper]

Not hard at all to do tbh

[rotund perch]

I dont wanna buy tools lol

Buy a kit like the knight v4's where it's all precut and all you need to do is just lube them

Or honestly re-lube the stock stabs and they work just as well

[robust siren]

you dont need to tools to lube and balance stabs lol

other than buying the actual lube

[rotund perch]

I kinda js want yikb ones

[rotund perch]

What am i gonna use to lube then

Im confused

well thats good atleast

[robust siren]

https://omnitype.com/products/lube-pen

if youre lazy

[young viper]

205. Best one I've liked so far has been krytox 205 lube

[robust siren]

well the 205g0 one is out of stock

[rotund perch]

Well I meant the tool but yeah I planned to use that

[young viper]

That's the only thing you need and a stab kit

There's no real benefits to cutting down stabs yourself anymore

[rotund perch]

thats cool

But i make things hard for myself

[young viper]

I made the swap over to friction, definitely sounds poppier

[robust siren]

i bought some $10 small container of it on amazon

that came with 2 fine brushes

[rotund perch]

found this

im guessing it just has everything

idk what the gpl105 is for but it has 205g0

oh wait i just found only 205g0

[robust siren]

i think i got this one

cheapest shi i could find

[young viper]

I bought mine off divinikey since I was already doing an order lol

[rotund perch]

found it too

[tall hollow]

Nonzero chance it's fake LMAO

[robust siren]

i mean it works

[tall hollow]

True

[robust siren]

and it lasts for quite a while

lube is lube

[tall hollow]

It's not like it's gonna be put in a million dollar machine like real Krytox

[robust siren]

@tall hollow someone bought sojus novelty and theme is inspo from my post https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1450896539672383559

[tall hollow]

Niceeeee

[rotund perch]

I mean idek when i will get new stabs anyway

[young viper]

Sojus look good but they don't match the back and grey build theme😭

[autumn temple]

Using my V2 right now with silicon dampener inside but couldnt help but hear that the spacebar is really rattly sounding and ruins the sound from the other keys. Are the spacebar stabilizers to blame or is it another issue?

[robust siren]

this is why we go silver case

[robust siren]

if you hear rattle it most likely is the stabilizers

[autumn temple]

The spacebar just doesnt sound very good and sounds different from the rest of the board its throwing off the sound entirely. Are you sure it is the stabilizers or could there be some other reason? Cause I don't think I have any issue with the other stabilizers?

Its just the spacebar stabs

Pressing my shift key sounds pretty good sounds pretty uniform with the rest of the board and same with the backspace its just the spacebar that almost sounds rattly high pitched and pingy?

Is the best way I would describe it which is the total opposite from how the rest of the board sounds

[lime yew]

Will need a recording to better understand. But it is normal to have a different sound while pressing spacebar vs normal keys. You can watch this for instance https://youtube.com/shorts/NR6UANqsvjo?si=1aZUohXFNZ-DjiFN

If you are talking about a different sound profile and not stabs that is.

[viral nest]

Dcf?

[autumn temple]

I understand that the spacebar is going to sound slightly different that isnt my problem its that it sounds like off like rattly like signfiicantly different than the rest of the board I dont need it sound perfectly harmonious with the rest of the board im just saying that it like rattles annoyingly? I cant currently record a audio yet but once im free I would gladly show you exactly what I mean.

[rotund perch]

deep clack fluxes from wuque studio, get them off aliexpress if you do tho

[viral nest]

Thanks

[lime yew]

Yeah if you hear a rattly sound lubing the stabs would be a good start.

[autumn temple]

Once im able to, ill send you the audio file and then you can tell me if you hear what im talking about or maybe its just me. Does that happen in production with the stabilizers they dont all get uniformly lubed?

Is that a common issue is what im trying to ask?

[lime yew]

They are lubed quite well and even have increased lubing in the latest productions. So it can be a personal thing and level you think is normal

[slow storm]

does anyone know where I can buy Krytox 205g0 in Europe, preferably in Scandinavia? I usually order from maxgaming, but I’m not sure if the lubricants they sell are genuine Krytox. I’m also fairly new to custom keyboards, so I’m not entirely sure what to look for.

[cyan lark]

Amazon maybe? I got a tube there

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MWLDALQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

[slow storm]

i found this, but im unsure if it's legit? but i also rarely order from amazon

[tropic urchin]

If it says krytox 205g it should be fine

[viral nest]

Yo guys i need serious help, my wooting is broken

When the switch is layed (not pressed into the keeb) on the „G“ it works fine but when i actually press the switch in the keeb, i doesent work

[slow storm]

Hmm okay, thanks :)

[pastel pendant]

guys can somebody give me some tips what could i change to my 80he to make it feel and sound even better? (plate, switches, foam, etc?...) Thanks in advance!

[chilly mural]

what do you feel like missing on it?

[pastel pendant]

like i said, its already good but if i can make it even better i most likely wanna try. For now the most annoying thing is the wobble of the switches so probably i will change them first, i was thinking to change them to raptor v2, or Flux ones

[little prairie]

fluxes got 0 wobble

[chilly mural]

Go with flux

[little prairie]

but overall making it better is purely based on preference

[pastel pendant]

kk thanks gonna try to order them but most likely they will come after christmas

[little prairie]

ok

[pastel pendant]

is it preferable to hand lube them or no?

[chilly mural]

they have a nice stock lube

[pastel pendant]

kk thx

[wispy scroll]

anyone got a video on how to switch out the case for the new 60he v2?

[lime yew]

https://youtu.be/DF6i5ozV5bY?si=5n1c497oUlCGVqCw

At 2:45

[tropic urchin]

Depends on what your goal is really. Do you want a flexible/soft plate where sound is going to be more muted (default PC plate), or do you want a stiffer/clackier experience

Foam you can just rock stock unless you want try poron gasket pad instead of silicone

If you want to mod overtime I’d also recommend GT80 to make it easier and for nice aesthetic

Pretty much the long and the short of it

[tulip rapids]

I want the tuff experience

[tropic urchin]

Plastic case and lekker V1s

[tulip rapids]

Thats tuff

I was gonna use raed switches

heard they're the best in the game

[tropic urchin]

Actually that’s even tuffer

[tropic urchin]

Maybe in Poland that’s your only option these days

[tulip rapids]

You read my mind. That combo with the g502 im unstoppable

Might have to change my name in steam that's "that's tuff"

[tropic urchin]

“Tuffest Op”

[tulip rapids]

gotta show them I got that tuff aim

[chilly mural]

My dream build

Also gonna go to airport soon

[tropic urchin]

8 days until DAC salvation

Now this is a knob

[rotund perch]

Just so I know, what should I expect switching from pc plate to fr4 plate?

[tropic urchin]

More sound, stiffer experience

[rotund perch]

alright thanks

[trail bane]

Gn

[tired shard]

steel plate it is

[cyan lark]

Steel is tuff

(am I doing this right?)

[foggy rivet]

do i need to tray mout the 60he v2 module with alumaze case ?

[little glen]

no

[tropic urchin]

That’s tuff

[tulip rapids]

that's tuff

[tulip rapids]

get a cf plate

Its tuff

[tulip rapids]

type shiiii

[fluid ravine]

hell yea

cf tufff

[humble surge]

@stray tiger how stiff are the Xray Wiredin cables?

[stray tiger]

Not stiff

[hallow gust]

Does anyone happen to know if the 80he module comes with stabilizers or should I be looking to purchase some before my build?

[chilly mural]

Comes with one

[foggy rivet]

Any suggestion for keycaps for the purple alumaze 60

[hallow gust]

Sweet thank you probably will try other ones out just making sure ill have something to start with

[polar girder]

You order an Element?

Element gang raise up

[tropic urchin]

yeah i managed to cop a 4.4mm Element IV for xmas

clear resin knob too

[polar girder]

V nice

Sheeeesh

[tropic urchin]

im counting down the days til i can try it

[humble surge]

So how flexible really? average?

[polar girder]

I love my element iii

[tropic urchin]

Idk i havent used it yet, but just from the fact he was willing to swap the 3.5mm jack for 4.4mm and got it shipped and delivered in record time for free is some top tier CS

[polar girder]

Yeah it is top tier CS

I bought mine used but after like 1 email from both of us they swapped the warranty over to me

[tropic urchin]

Johns a real one ong

[polar girder]

Fr

Tuff af

So aesthetic too

[tropic urchin]

this is what mine will prob look like

[polar girder]

Damn hell yeah

[tropic urchin]

thats tuff

Im using the ifi zen dac v3 atm, so im excited to see what the auto gain power is going to be like since i enjoyed using the hi power headphone mode on my top pros

[polar girder]

Lol that’s funny I came from an ifi zen v2

Gang gang

Yeah the element has a lot more power

What cans?

I feel like you also have 490 pros lol

[tropic urchin]

I was debating it until I got some bad IEM luck

I need a better sound proofed enviro before I get open backs

[robust siren]

found OUR next keyboard guys

[bright ember]

i need alt tab

[half pewter]

anybody know if a shine-through, low-profile, with no-legend shift keys (or with split spacebar), keycap set exist. sounds rediculous even when i type it out lol

[robust siren]

thats an extremely specific keycap in general and i dont think you can do split unless you get 2 sets of it

[half pewter]

i dont mind getting 2 sets as long as the shift are not legended

[robust siren]

you can probably just get shine through low profile caps as the first set and then smth like blank low profile caps as the second set

though you might need to get 2 blank low profile caps

which means.. 3 sets and a whole lotta extra keycaps

[half pewter]

that's true

[half pewter]

why 2 blank?

[robust siren]

they most likely wont have the caps for split spacebar and you need some of the keys too fill it in

[half pewter]

i just need both shifts and a random bottom row key, with no legend

[robust siren]

oh wait nvm i get what you mean now

i thought you want no shine through on where shift normally is

and obviously dont want anything for the spacebars

[half pewter]

yeah, i just need a shine-through set, and a blank set, and use the shifts from the blank set as split space bars

space bar doesn't shine through anyways

[robust siren]

yeah not a whole lot of companies make shine through keycaps to begin with and low profile is probably even harder to find

[half pewter]

let along split space bar

i know my ask is super specific but that's the only barrier from me returning the v2

im using a G915, it ruined high profile keyboards for me

[robust siren]

well

from my quick google search

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1819557584/black-low-profile-keycap-set-rgb-shine

[half pewter]

this doesn't have anything for ther spacebar though, still need that 2nd set

[robust siren]

low profile blanks are gonna be hard to find

i lied

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1670446931/mx-nuphy-modifier-keycap?

[half pewter]

lol

[robust siren]

obviously cant speak on quality of these

they look 2d printed

[half pewter]

im going to try to find something from the same company to minimizer the color diff

[polar girder]

Fair

[robust siren]

can also try looking at aliexpress

[half pewter]

yeah, thanks for the idea, cant imagine why that have never cross my mind

[robust siren]

[half pewter]

i mean the 2nd blank set

idk why that sounds sarcastic lol
