[half pewter]

thanks for the idea, truly

[neon mortar]

would you guys say any kind of aluminum case is a must for the 60he+

i bought some new switches but i'm 50/50 on getting the alumaze, how good of an upgrade is it

[cyan lark]

Preference, though it does open up doing a friction mount

[neon mortar]

makes sense; would you say it's generally agreed upon to be a big improvement? or is it just a nice aesthetic upgrade

like big improvement as in looks/sounds/everything

[ionic breach]

pbs blanks?

not low profile but usually mostly what people want when looking for one

https://keyreative.store/products/pbs-blank-keycaps

[half pewter]

yeah, want a set of blank shifts to complete my low profile set, for my v2 split space bar

[cyan lark]

Entirely subjective. The only less subjective part is that a friction mount will feel a bit less jarring to type on compared to a tray mount

[ionic breach]

it has split spacebars

pbs blanks is the name

link abv

[half pewter]

yeah, not low profile though

[neon mortar]

alr, im still 50/50

i think im leaning towards getting it for the higher quality feel and better noise since i am not a big fan of the default sound

i have some ur ice switches that i'm going to put in

[cyan lark]

Nice, changing the switches is far and away the biggest impact on sound you'll get. Possibly some change in feel - especially since I imagine that means you're going from 4mm to 3.5mm travel

[neon mortar]

Yeah im hyped, the sound out of the box is alright but i love the ur ices, and lesser travel will give it a 'new keyboard' feel so that'll be sick

[craggy light]

DCFs are on the way!

This is gonna sound like HEAVEN

[cyan lark]

What are you coming off of?

[craggy light]

GEON RAW

[neon mortar]

is there a good sound comparison of stock wooting case and the alumaze one?

the only alumaze ones i hear also have different switches or something

[cyan lark]

Sorry I don't know. I never owned the original plastic case so I couldn't even provide a person opinion.

I thought MikeyTypes had a comparison but I might be mistaken

[neon mortar]

ill check that out

do you know of any other cases at a similar price range/a bit cheaper than alumaze and tofu60 redux?

[robust siren]

same upgrade i made

dcfs are heaven compared to raws

[calm pulsar]

raeds better

[hot rivet]

does anyone else have cerakeys?

[thorn zealot]

ima cop this to plug my hexas in 🔥

[hot rivet]

i tried putting foam under the spacebar of my cerakey and swapped out the tikken for the founders switch but it still sounds pingy but now its just slightly dampened cause of the foam

[cyan lark]

https://geon.works/products/in-stock-frog-mini-leggera Frog Mini Leggera is also pretty reasonably priced. Not sure if it works w/ friction, but I think you can do some other mounts w/ it.

Oh looks like only tray mount builds are available?

[thorn zealot]

all of em besides silver have g

[cyan lark]

Ah, my b

[neon mortar]

i think imma go with the alumaze, i cant justify spending $40 extra to get a similar sound from the tofu60 redux, but i still like the sound more than the default

(finally found a good comparison video)

[fluid ravine]

i can confirm that friction mount wont work

gotta get myself another leggera i swear

these paint chips on mine is kinda sad

[tulip rapids]

that's tuff

[calm pulsar]

that's tuff

[tulip rapids]

FLOOOOOOF

[calm pulsar]

that's fluff

[stray tiger]

Shoulda went with the acrylic one!

[uneven cradle]

It's in stock now

[stray tiger]

Then he should get that one. It was my fav of the leggeras. I still have mine.

[uneven cradle]

Love mine too

@fluid ravine

Could be you pal

[fluid ravine]

do be regretting it now

[fluid ravine]

stoppp

another day
another lost thockson

😭

[uneven cradle]

Stop the keyboard abuse

[calm pulsar]

throwback to when I voted you get silber case
anodizing finish doesnt chip like that

[fluid ravine]

[calm pulsar]

but still the cream was super cool with your cream gmks

[fluid ravine]

indeed.

Hit my mx board on my leggera twice on the side

and accidently whack my Leggera on the wall

[calm pulsar]

I hit my 80he when I rage in tarkov

[queen otter]

what case is it using

[polar girder]

Acrylic Leggera G is most tempting case for me rn for sure

[tulip rapids]

he has gt80 silver

[glass dragon]

What is the thickness of the epdm foam that comes with the pre-built 60v2? 1,2,3mm?

Wonder if I could go thicker, or would it mess with the bottom-out actuation too much

[calm pulsar]

gt80

[craggy aspen]

Bro how am I supposed to extract these switches once I insert them

[fluid ravine]

push down the diffuser

[tulip rapids]

you don't

[thorn zealot]

pretty gentle

[jade storm]

that purple is beautiful.

[queen otter]

ouch that will hurt

[foggy rivet]

Any suggestion for keycaps for the purple alumaze 60?

[elder yacht]

guys I’m using the tofu frosted case should I try Pom keycaps?

also thinking for MOA profile keycaps, the problem is I need an ISO layer format ;-;

[slow storm]

that is so clean

[hoary hemlock]

did anyone used the gravastar ufo switches and how do they feel?

[glacial wind]

very stable, but also a lot of tight feel, so whether you like that or not will be up to you

there's a soundtest already on our database: https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

[hoary hemlock]

Ty

[flat cobalt]

Dolch with Cherry Love

[night atlas]

man I'm in love w/the DC fluxes, easily clears all other HE switches I've ever owned

[gritty sleet]

im using POM Jellys, they feel amazing

[thick flare]

Hi, just got the Wooting 60 v2 and mounted it on a Tofu 60 redux with friction fit, is it still recommended to use a screw to prevent static electricity?

[glacial wind]

correct yes. If you want to ground it then loosely screw in that top right tray mount screw

[thick flare]

Thank you!!

[proud marsh]

hey guys, I'm trying to get some new keycaps for my wooting 60 v2 and I'm looking for Japanese/English letters in a dark color (Grey maybe), any suggestions please?

[random dagger]

For ws deep fluxes should I use the full modding kit that torontokbman provides for the 80he?

[sacred elm]

Don't use IXPE foam that goes between the PCB and plate

[proven mist]

doesnt the 60he v2 come with the foam also?

[sacred elm]

Yes? That's different foam.

I'm talking about this. It goes on top of the PCB and messes with the accuracy of the keyboard.

[proven mist]

@sacred elm ah okay I want to make sure I wasn’t missing anything

[sacred elm]

Foam should be in the box

[proven mist]

Bruh I’m just slow😭

Thx bruh

[sacred elm]

Sorry, thought you were replying to my message

[proven mist]

I was🤣

[jade prairie]

light bleed on GMK keycaps?

[glacial wind]

jesus christ, how has no one in his friend group told him this is an awful idea

[wicked hearth]

does anyone know if there are any other compatible FLAT 60% cases like this one? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32540926035.html

[austere creek]

tasty toxic metals

[flat cobalt]

I think I’m about to revert back to backlit/shine through keycaps

Oh wait I could do X-Rays

[craggy light]

Lead tape mod is the future

[tropic urchin]

Some colored keys have that, you basically reduce the brightness til it goes away if it bothers you

[sacred elm]

Not for your brain

[craggy light]

That would imply having a brain first

[flat cobalt]

What do I choose for switch selector on wootility

For flux

[sacred elm]

Lekker v1/v2 and enable 0.5mm spacer

Wooting will add Flux in the selector soon™

[flat cobalt]

Thank you

[flat cobalt]

Recommend me backlit keycaps

I’m done with GMK

[craggy light]

Isn't Switch Selector a purely cosmetic thing? As in it doesn't affect how the board works, sorry if it is a stupid question

[flat cobalt]

No question is stupid friend

And idk what it does

[paper bison]

if your switch isn't a full 4mm travel it just more accurately measures travel because the boundaries are different (obviously) between a 3.5mm and 4mm travel switch

boards function fine without it\

[craggy light]

https://tenor.com/view/cute-emoji-smiley-thinking-scratching-head-gif-17835192

[paper bison]

why is ansi so much harder to type on

i feel like im typing slow as fuck

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/jarvis-jarvis-skill-issue-skill-issue-gif-24471438

[craggy light]

It's not much different to ISO but I keep hitting the key above Enter because I was used to having the ISO Enter

[paper bison]

i think going from regular spacebar and iso to split ansi has fucked me up a little

but will get used to it

hopefully

[craggy light]

Oh yea that's quite the change

[trail bane]

No rgb with GMK keycaps is the only right choice

[paper bison]

kinda like it tho

[trail bane]

[paper bison]

i kinda prefer the split spacebar with the middle button on fn, im just not used to it yet lmao

[tropic urchin]

[paper bison]

so my wpm has gone from like 105 to 70

[trail bane]

“No”

[tropic urchin]

I had to retire my CF plate on DCF

[craggy light]

why

[paper bison]

i’m retrying dcf ngl, feel like i judged them too quick

[craggy light]

is it too loud or what

[paper bison]

[craggy light]

what keycap set is that

[paper bison]

pbtfans crosshair

[glacial wind]

It basically allows auto calibration to start at a point much more accurate than it used to start

[tropic urchin]

No, I just like copper plate more for marbly clack profile

[glacial wind]

Meaning it can give you tighter and more accurate presses right from the start of your boot up instead of needing lots of press data and trying to adjust down to the switch afterwards

[craggy light]

i have never tried any of those, i need to do some good research before getting one because i was gonna get cf

i want MAX clack

[tropic urchin]

CF plate would be your pick for max clack

CF plate and something like owlabs/original flux or HMX crystal HE would probably be your clack of choice

For max loud clack

[tropic urchin]

Do you have any new data on new switch selector additions 🥶

[craggy light]

i have dcf otw

[glacial wind]

Just the ones I mentioned before

That will cover basically 90% of the switches I’d expect most people to use by then

[tropic urchin]

Any shareable ETAs on the selector drop for our favorite fluxies 👀

[glacial wind]

They should be in whenever next big update is for the beta probably. Most of the process of time is more the ui stuff than the data collection

[tropic urchin]

I liked CF with DCF, but copper plate kinda took over my enjoyment since copper plate when paired with a full bodied sounding switch it behaves like a metallic FR4 plate

[glacial wind]

So for example when we add Wuque flux we contact Wuque to get their file to add switch photo into our Ui

And that can take a bit of time

The actual data collection im fairly sure gets done in a few hours already for all the ones I sent over already

[craggy light]

Wooting PLEASE release the plate files ASAP 🙏

[foggy rivet]

do i only need to install these 2 gold screws when im installing the 60he v2 module into to alumaze60 ?

[glacial wind]

No

You can leave these uninstalled

[craggy light]

if you are tray mounting you can just screw the ones on the sides

ig only the left side would be enough so that golden part doesnt move

[reef sleet]

Can someone recommend me keyboard HE keyboard PCB with 8k polling? Don't really feel like buying a whole keyboard when I just need the PCB to swap my case, switches, etc over to so I can upgrade to 8k polling. Something with software that I can enable 'rapid trigger' and custom actuation distance

[cyan lark]

https://wooting.io ?

[reef sleet]

Do they sell just the board so I can upgrade my 60HE v1 to a V2 board?

[sacred elm]

Module

[reef sleet]

Thx

also looking for black or purple keycap set

[foggy rivet]

i think when i ordered the case it said that i need to tray mout it

[reef sleet]

Any coupons for Wooting rn?

[sacred elm]

No

[little glen]

DISCORD DISCOUNT for 0% off

[glacial wind]

only if you want to use the tray mount, but you can just friction fit and screw in one single screw in the top right area loosely and you're good

[sacred elm]

It doesn't say that you need to use tray mount though

[proven wadi]

@glacial wind did you try the tcc flip switches yet? 🙂

[foggy rivet]

ok so that means i dont need to disassemble the pcb like this ?

[sacred elm]

No

[foggy rivet]

thank god

thank you

[sacred elm]

You only need to put the v2 module in Alumaze and screw in screw on the top right

[foggy rivet]

got it

[craggy light]

Sorry this will be a dumb request but can you show me what those "included grounding standoffs" look like

[glacial wind]

yeah i like them, but mostly because they're basically quieter ttc kom that come prelubed lol

haven't had time to full test them yet as I'm finishing up editing a video that should go live by next week, but will properly test them hopefully tomorrow or over the weekend

[obsidian sinew]

not sure where to ask this, but how do i get the switch selector option in wootility, its just not there. im version 5.2.1

[sacred elm]

https://beta.wootility.io

[peak breach]

So any news on that “god” switch?

[obsidian sinew]

i have to use the browser version for that feature?

[peak breach]

What switches u using

[obsidian sinew]

i have the tikkens in rn, but im about to switch to the geon raws

[glacial wind]

not yet, still waiting to see

[peak breach]

Yeah both of those are supported

[obsidian sinew]

ive seen others have the switch option in their wootility, but i dont

[sacred elm]

Beta Wootility app is also available https://wooting.io/wootility/changelogs/5.3.0-beta.1

[peak breach]

You have to use the beta

[obsidian sinew]

oh so its a beta thing, okay thanks

[peak breach]

Yeah

Rn only certain switches are supported

[sacred elm]

If the switch selector isn't in Wootility > Settings then yeah, it's only in beta. Don't remember exactly if it's available on v5.2.1

[honest sparrow]

Mi iso 60v2 finished too!

[slow storm]

what's the bottom case? Tofu 60 redux ?

[honest sparrow]

Both tofu redux, acrylic and anodized grey

[slow storm]

oh what, arcylic ??

[paper bison]

man i want the gt-60 to restock in black already smh

and with the black accent strip

I NEED IT

[edgy creek]

Help needed!! Do I need change new foam or plate

[honest sparrow]

Yep, transparent

[honest sparrow]

This is tachyon mode profile

[slow storm]

that is sick!

[honest sparrow]

Counter Strike enjoyer hehe

[slow storm]

you might've changed my mind, i really like it

[honest sparrow]

Acrylic is as custom as you can imagine

You paint with color basically

I dig it a lot like this for normal profile

[foggy rivet]

Do you guys know any affordable keycaps that looks like these 2

[craggy light]

These keycaps would go hard on my purple Alumaze build

[tulip rapids]

is the switch properly placed in? Where you hear a clicking sound once inserted properly

the colored tikkens are also 100g btw

compared to normal tikkens being around 50g

[edgy creek]

Yes I am placed it properly, only space key has this problem

[tulip rapids]

have you tried a different switch ?

[toxic surge]

what are the best switches to get rn? any new ones?

[tulip rapids]

@toxic surge

[toxic surge]

ty

[toxic surge]

are the tikkens this good?

[tropic urchin]

There are newer ones to come out probably next year so should have some more options for the list

[tulip rapids]

there's also sound test in #🪛│modding_faq

[tropic urchin]

If you’re sensitive to top wobble I’d probably get something else, but aside from that they were fun to use

[tulip rapids]

depends what your preference is

[tropic urchin]

Decent option

[toxic surge]

i got the owlab tis rn looking for some deeper clacky switch

[tropic urchin]

I’d go for the pink flux off aliexpress

[toxic surge]

they are hella expensive for me

even on aliexpress

[tropic urchin]

Ur ice/phylina thunderbolt then

[toxic surge]

oh wait nvm i just found 70 pcs for 50€

usually they are 75€ but i get 25€ discount buying first time

[edgy creek]

I tried jade and mount tai switch but still feel a bit loose

[tulip rapids]

shouldn't feel loose if you're inserting them correctly. You can contact support if you like

[tropic urchin]

Try some of these vendors too

There’s a few different ones, but if they’re still too expensive your other options are UR Ice and Phylina thunderbolt (box stem UR ice)

[tulip rapids]

I had owlabs and I switched to deep clack fluxes and been loving them ever since

I got mine from mmd ainy

[toxic surge]

all of them say they are unavailable at my location

[tropic urchin]

That’s tuff

Might be if you’re from Germany then they have a dislike of shipping over there

[tropic urchin]

I’d pivot to UR ice or if you found another vendor that will ship to you

[toxic surge]

yeah i am

[little glen]

Wait for them to be back in stock at toronto keyboardman

He does ship to germany

[tulip rapids]

w t dot man

[autumn temple]

Whats your colour settings profile?

[south swallow]

Has anyone got any recommendations for a black fr4 or carbon plate for the 60HE v2?

[honest sparrow]

Anyone tried those thunderflashes?

[honest sparrow]

Are those phylinas good?

[little glen]

sno tried them

[honest sparrow]

Does anyone knows what kind of foam is the one included on tofu cases?

[tropic urchin]

Should be fine, haven’t tried them but Sno should have their stability grade and sound test available

[honest sparrow]

I have just seen this 😱

[proven wadi]

@toxic surge https://www.priparcel.eu/parcelbox/shipping-address/ use something like this, dunno why aliexpress hates Germany. They shipped to me in Sweden

[snow tapir]

AAAA IT ARRIVED

IT FEELS SO

GOOD

AND UNFAMILIAR

[placid glen]

Hey - you end up trying this out at all? Wondering if it’s compatible with the 60HE V2 PCB.

[glass dragon]

Do you need a grounding sponge if the case isnt metallic? (Tofu Acrylic)

[tulip rapids]

frosted better

[tulip rapids]

Are you using friction pad

[glass dragon]

Yea

[tulip rapids]

then I would get one

you can use a screw near the port but grounding sponge is better

[warm herald]

Removing switches can’t be this hard? I swear I’m doing everything right but it’s still a struggle.

[little glen]

i dont think it would make much of a difference

[glass dragon]

Thats what I think, since it would have nowhere to dissipate any charge

Had to eat $30 in shipping/tariffs for the tofu since Divinikey has no restock for this batch
#1451301805421101149 message

[cyan lark]

You can’t ground the case if it’s not electrically conductive

[robust siren]

pfft i had to eat $70 in shipping and fees for my gt-60 cause only KBDfans stocked them

their aliexpress store wasnt any cheaper

[glass dragon]

😭
Thats that metal tariff at work

[robust siren]

worth every cent tho

[marsh saffron]

"Unmarked aluminum" @sacred elm

[robust siren]

$330 in tariffs 💀 💀 💀

[marsh saffron]

Bros optimum case is cooked

[robust siren]

they think ts was scrap metal

[tropic urchin]

Remove the switch plate from PCB makes it a lot easier, if you’re using default Wooting puller I’d throw that away and get something else like the Wuque studio titanium puller or the TX one

[snow tapir]

so uhm

i js got my two he

how do iget a question mark

like this one?

?

[austere creek]

the same way you always did

[snow tapir]

it uh

nono work

lowk unbinded

[austere creek]

you unbound it in wootility?

[snow tapir]

i think so yes

[austere creek]

is the key blank in wootility?

if not its not unbound

[snow tapir]

no i rebinded it

[austere creek]

so it should work then

[snow tapir]

not the questionmark

ugh this is confusing sorry

[cyan lark]

If I'm to try my best to guess at what's happening: they want to rebind the lower key but not lose the shifted ?, which is not possible.

[snow tapir]

almost

what key contains the question mark

im trying to find that

[cyan lark]

In ANSI (USA), /

[snow tapir]

azerty

[austere creek]

the same key it was on your old keyboard

[cyan lark]

I dunno, look it up

[austere creek]

and if you accidentally unbound it you go to remap and click default

to map all defaults

[snow tapir]

yeah i'll js do that thx

[austere creek]

dont forget to click save after remapping stuff

they dont live preview like RGB

[snow tapir]

yeah thx

[autumn temple]

Does it matter which way the EPDM foam goes into your case? Which side is the correct side?

[cyan lark]

In the 60v2? Doesn't matter sound wise, but it's cut/keyed to go in only one way. Look at the notches at the top.

[ornate grove]

How do you remove Owlab Ti switches? With the default Wooting Switch Puller it doesn't seem to work well

[echo spire]

If i get just the module does it come with stabilizers?

[proud marsh]

what are these keycaps?

[cloud crane]

Keykobo Soju I think

[paper bloom]

Remove plate then pop it out easiest way

[fallen pecan]

ttc horse switches incoming, super damped

ttc 035 tactile

[cloud crane]

Interesting 👀

[icy forge]

hello i have a wooting uwu and it said it was hot swap but its really difficult to get the switches out with a normal switch puller i was trying to swap it out like on a normal kb am i doing something wrong or is it not hot swap and do i need to open it up wit the bottom screws

[timber crystal]

anyone know where to buy PBTfans Crosshair keycaps for shipping to EU? without taxes from USA

[glossy pagoda]

They can be a bit tight, but it is possible. If you struggle with it, taking it apart is an option

[icy forge]

i tried really hard couldnt do it now im just scared that i might break it

[sacred elm]

Wiggle it up and down and pull from the south first. Can be harder with a plastic puller, a good metal puller will help a lot. If you still struggle, then disassemble it and pull from the plate.

[icy forge]

im using a metal puller im gonna try wiggling it

[sacred elm]

Don't pull it straight up, gotta wiggle it first and then pull from the south. Easier to pull like that for me.

[icy forge]

alr ill try it

[glacial wind]

Oh dam ttc finally doing round stem? They started lubing too, maybe this is time for ttc resurgence

[cloud crane]

If they can lower the prices...

[fallen pecan]

not gonna be too cheap. the ttc horses are gonna be like sneks

serialized, non serialized and rgb skus

[icy forge]

i cant seem to do it if u dont mind can u send like a video of u removing a switch

thanks

[paper bison]

kbdfans comes from china, no where really to get it in the EU

[icy forge]

could do it i saw a video of some guy prying out the switches with a screw driver is that fine or could that potentially damage them

[rotund perch]

oh yeah also ttc plate mount stabs, apparently no more wire rattle

[little glen]

how tf are these assembled

I mean I used what I had but Still a bummer

Have to disassemble everything again for a either my mistake or not

[sacred elm]

Weird, they're always putting a lot of standoffs in the bag

Can order them from KBDfans

Hm ok

[rotund perch]

Cause I mightve done that

Cause my spacebar gets stuck now so

I could ask them to send extra

Ok I think that's why it's stuck

[sacred elm]

Spacebar wire should be up

[rotund perch]

Oh ok so I did it right

Maybe a plate issue the

Then

[sacred elm]

What stabilizers are you using?

[rotund perch]

Stock ones

Or maybe the wire is too unbalanced but idk if it can cause that

[sacred elm]

Odd, try reassembling it again

[rotund perch]

Yeah I'll try with stock plate aswell

[rotund perch]

It goes up, but pretty slowly

Maybe it's something to do with this? I don't know if this is normal

It's like a little more up

Compared to other parts of the plate

I might take a break for now

[robust siren]

keykobo sojus

[rotund perch]

Fuck this damn fr4 plate

[rotund perch]

It goes down for both sides I thiklnky

I think

To where the switch is

Yeah I'm done for now

I just want my shi to work

[uneven cradle]

not normal plate should be sitting flat

[rotund perch]

Hm idk how to fix it

[tall hollow]

mechanical design!? time for me to praise/flame this design! /j LMAO

holy parts, LMAO

if that thing was actually going to be made it would be so expensive

we are talkin like probably 50 dollars per set just in manufacturing cost

[rotund perch]

Any way you think I can fix it?

[long tinsel]

what do standoffs do?

[tropic urchin]

Contact points for where you will be screwing into the back of the PCB

[long tinsel]

do i need to install one on an alumaze if im using friction fit? i'll need to use atleast one screw to ground it anyway

[subtle cedar]

anybody got recommendations for snow/winter themed keycaps?

[vivid gust]

Are Dove HE compatible with 60 he v2

[cyan lark]

https://library.wooting.io/225eb39179848072869fdddc3b9ae808?v=225eb39179848012bc64000c9fe9d9c8 not tested yet according to the db

[vivid gust]

rough idea when it'll be tested?

[sacred elm]

They are recolored Mathew silent switches, which have been tested already.

Get one of these instead, if you want silent switches

[vivid gust]

so they're compatible but have anti mush design, awesome! thank u very much

[sacred elm]

They have what?

[vivid gust]

idk lol

[cyan lark]

Is anti mush creamy?

[vivid gust]

but it's marketed to feel less mushy

oh the haimu sound test is noticably louder

i might just get the tec then

hmmm but it may be different, i dunno yet

i'll search further

[honest sparrow]

Does anyone knows why all of the sudden this "stain" appeared on the inside layer of the keycap?

It wasnt there yesterday

[lyric nimbus]

oh yeah

where does the grounding cable on the 2he

actually ground

[glossy pagoda]

Via USB to your motherboard, and from there via your powersupply to your wall socket

[lyric nimbus]

oh ok

well

more like that one hook thing on the PCB

i think i saw some sort of metal pasted on it so i was like

yeah

[glossy pagoda]

That's supposed to go on a screw between the standoff and the case

[lyric nimbus]

ah ok cool

so if i print out like

an FR4 plate

nothing fucks up?

[glossy pagoda]

Should be fine

[lyric nimbus]

sigma

dude this is gonna be such a fucking pain in the ass to make...

[glacial wind]

the doves are very mushy

no idea why they market them as anti mush, but the haimus are the mushiest of the silent options

[vivid gust]

what silent switches do u recommend !!

[autumn temple]

Whats included in the Optimum prize set?

[autumn temple]

I recommend the gateron genty silent switches I like those

[sacred elm]

Those aren't silent

[autumn temple]

https://library.wooting.io/225eb39179848072869fdddc3b9ae808?v=225eb39179848012bc64000c9fe9d9c8&pvs=74

[autumn temple]

They arent why are they in the name then

[sacred elm]

Ask Gateron

[humble surge]

Don't recommend them in general, prone to inaccuracies due to dampening

[vivid gust]

am confused now :(

[sacred elm]

If you're not using the most sensitive settings, silent switches are fine

[vivid gust]

i just want them for osu ngl

[humble surge]

Sensitive gaming scenario ^^

[autumn temple]

WDYM by sensitive like 2mm isnt sensitive right? below 1mm?

[glacial wind]

tl;dr is gateron made them early on as a more 'silent option' but they were awful and barely better without any actual silencing methods used

which is why people recommend proper silenced switches if you want silent switches

[iron salmon]

Question if anyone could help: If I tray mount the wooting v2 module in an alumaze case do I have to change out the friction fit pad to the poron sandwhich layer? Or is that a preference thing?

[autumn temple]

They arent silent but I actually think they sound really nice

[glacial wind]

nope, you can use the friction fit pad

oh wait

i didn't read the tray mount part

[iron salmon]

Okay I didn’t know if there was some electrical difference or something. See people concerned about grounding and I hardly dable in keyboard so I hadn’t had a clue

[glacial wind]

yeah if you want to specifically tray mount then you have to swap it out

but you can actually just use friction fit pad and use one single screw loosely IF you don't want to tray mount

[humble surge]

@glacial wind btw i was meaning to ask before, did you ever get XVX Snows to try?

[glacial wind]

other option is a little diy fix from amazon that I'll be showing as part of the tutorial video next week-ish

[glacial wind]

yep they're already sound tested in the database

[humble surge]

Opinions?

[glacial wind]

basically tecsee but slightly see through for rgb

even has tecsee written on their housing lol

[iron salmon]

I see. I appreciate the help!

[humble surge]

i never tried tecsee, just in general the info you can tell someone that has never?

[glacial wind]

they're very similar to rubber dome switches if you ever tried those, quite popular within the mech niche

a bit tactile and very quiet. they're a great switch as long as you don't intend to need super precise keypress because they do have a bit of give at top and bottom due to using rubber dome style design

[humble surge]

Yeah i never tried any silent at all, but when they recently released it, i was thinking to first hand test, just never really cared due to the inherent inaccuracies.
But thank you for the opinion, based on that i think i'll get some to try personally next year, i wanted to, just wanted to see if you got some first.

[glacial wind]

they're very nice for a work setup honestly

like if I had more room i'd put them inside a separate workstation keyboard

[humble surge]

Yeah sounds like a good use case, just wanna feel/hear it (not hearing it precisely xD)

Keyspire switches arrive next week

[iron salmon]

Maybe a stupid question but what if I used the friction fit pad with the screws in? Is there just a damage risk?

[glacial wind]

nah it's fine, you don't even need to put that screw in tightly, just has to touch basically

if you're really worried then the best solution is your own conductive pad from amazon for $5 and scratching case then glueing it over there under the usb port

[iron salmon]

So it’s just to provide metal to metal contact. I ask because I had screeed my V2 module into the alumaze60 without swapping the pad not knowing if it would cause electrical issues or something.

[glacial wind]

but that's a bit more hands on work than most people want to do for that conductive pad solution

[iron salmon]

Alright thanks

[rough hedge]

Tested out a few TTC flip KOM.

[tropic urchin]

He’s referring to 0.1-0.4 range in actuation

Most sensitive starting at 0.1

[rough hedge]

Overall good switch. I guess its more thocky than clacky. But will probably stick with DCF just because of switch feel

[glacial wind]

Yeah the flips are interesting more so because they feel like a lubed ttc pom with less sharp note, but besides that they feel like lubed ttcs

I really want to try the upcoming round stem ttc switches

[rough hedge]

definately a quieter switch, especially if you dont bottom it out hard. The upstroke is quiet unlike the DCF. But it still has that weird suction sound like other TTC

[lyric nimbus]

what are the

f row profiles

is it r1/r2/r3/r4?

[rough hedge]

F row is R1

[lyric nimbus]

gg

[mild cargo]

How are they

[thick pier]

alright, i am admitting defeat and asking for help.
i got a plate for my 60HE v2 but i cannot seem to get the plate to screw into the PCB, i am using the old screws from the module, as it says in the tutorial, however they just arent long enough to go all the way through. am i missing a standoff or somthing?

[vivid gust]

What are some good mods for the 60hev2

[robust siren]

pretty much just switches and keycaps

case if you want a different look but thats about it

[uneven cradle]

I would recommend lubing a few switches and trying different amounts
But in general it's easy to fix adding more lube it's a bigger pain to fix overlubing

[vivid gust]

What about stabs

Was recommended swagkey knights v4

But I dunno

Did surface level research

[uneven cradle]

Not really that much you can do biggest would be adding more lube to the stabilizers yourself

That's all I've done to mine so far

[cyan lark]

100% a little goes a long way

Hopper gave good advice

[uneven cradle]

And with the stock lube it's more of a case of spreading it to the right places there's plenty on them already

(for the stabs)

[ebon quiver]

I was pleased enough with the stock stabs, but remembered I had knights v3 laying around and gave them a try just because

Ended liking the sound and feel of knights more, multiple attempts at tweaking the stock ones got me nowhere, but felt like it's just the inherent differences in the design that make them sound/feel different and my preference just leaned towards knights

[cyan lark]

That's free of charge courtesy of Moumou

[ebon quiver]

Ended up ordering two sets of v4 for v2 split as one set isn't enough lol

[cyan lark]

[uneven cradle]

Knights are easier to lube for sure, they need less work to get to sound good, they're also made of different materials so there's some slight differences in sound profile

Can also get away with just using 205g0 instead of thicker lubes for the wires

[ebon quiver]

Ye, I've compared stock untouched along with re-lubed stock vs slightly lubed knights and realized that even if the stock stabs don't exhibit any negative traits like ticking, rattle, whatever, I still preferred how knights sound and feel

So it was more of a preference thing for me

Instead of some oh no the stock stabs are unusable

Also, probably not something that is worth spending much money on tbh

[uneven cradle]

Yeah, Wooting is still working on solutions for getting them lubed well right out of the box but seems easier said than done

[ebon quiver]

I did it, but that doesn't mean it was that good of an idea or that others should do it, lol

[ebon quiver]

Stabs are evil for anyone who's not willing to mess with em

Hard to imagine that issue being fixed ever without tossing lots of manual labor at it

[uneven cradle]

I also swapped mine out but went with typeplus x yikb since it has enough wires/housings for the whole board

[ebon quiver]

What was that Seneca thing, seemed to have a great solution, but requiring manual assembly that took a lot of time for each stab

[uneven cradle]

Yeah I imagine there's some way of fixing it that doesn't require creating a $200+ set of stabilizers

[snow tapir]

so i was changing some keys around and my rgb weent off, does any1 know a fix

nvm i'm dumb

somehow turned the light visibilioty thing off

[paper bison]

yikb stabs are god tier ngl

idk why i remember seeing people bag on them

cheap, sound great n easy to lube n assemble

[umbral summit]

usb c to a dongle wooting arent sold seperatly right?

[austere creek]

correct

[umbral summit]

how do u get replacements

[austere creek]

via support

i see

you crossposted

[umbral summit]

yepo

i got it

this is the wrong channel after all

[trail sky]

anyone got any custom strap recommendations / examples,?

[austere creek]

if you arent vegan a nice option is always finding someone who does handcrafted leather pieces and getting a really nice leather strap

[trail sky]

i’d be down for anything, kinda wanted to minimal maybe orange leather

to match my zero mouse pad 😍

[austere creek]

since leather can be dyed and also comes in a few natural tones you can prob find something that youd like. and it would prob outlive you

[trail sky]

jeeeez where do i even begin to look,?

[craggy aspen]

Are wooting switches faster than the competition? I’m sorry but everytime I try to remove a switch it just disintegrates, and I even bought the wooting switch toolkit

[uneven cradle]

different switches aren't "faster" than another some are more stable or have lighter/heavier springs but that comes down to personal preference

[craggy aspen]

Basically my gripe is the diffuser always dislodges and that lil pull tab keeps snapping or weakens to a point where it’s useless after 1 time using a switch puller on it

[uneven cradle]

if you're having trouble getting the switches out you can take apart the plate and PCB and push the switches through the plate

[ionic breach]

`if u can, try instead pushing it out from the bottom

[craggy aspen]

Alright

But is there a compatible switch that don’t have these issues? And is the rgb from the switch or the keyboard ?

[ornate quest]

RGB is part of the PCB

[uneven cradle]

but the switch does play a role in how well it diffuses the light

[red aurora]

totally just built my v2 with cerakeys and some ws flux. what actuation is recommend for them and rapid trigger? Having issues with double spacing

[bright ember]

is there any more mod i can do to make the v2 sound better after the geon raw switch change? ( can i add foam or what kind of materials ) should i add

[tropic urchin]

If you're using the plastic wooting puller, id also just get a better metal one

[bright ember]

also is the WS flux sound better than geon raw?

[uneven cradle]

Can hear comparisons here https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

In general regular fluxes aren't recommended but the deep clacky variant are

[bright ember]

thank you, but can does anyone have personal preference

[red aurora]

in the optimum case they sound amazing

[bright ember]

i got the geon raw for the optimum case. are u telling me im spending more for the wsflux

ill try geon raw out then imma see

geon raw and optimum case is coming monday

[uneven cradle]

They are a lot more, deep clackys are cheaper on AliExpress but still a lot more than Geon raws

[bright ember]

dsflux is more expensive?

[bright ember]

so ds flux is better

okay thank you

any links for the ds flux?

[chilly mural]

Sounds nice. Spacebar is dry

[bright ember]

@red aurora can u answer my dm

[tropic urchin]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[bright ember]

thabk you.

the thocky one is out

rugh

okay i will wait until it restocked

until then ill use the geon raw

[tropic urchin]

should be in stock on aliexpress

[bright ember]

all the ali is clacky

i want thocky

[white lodge]

how. this is sick asf\

[bright ember]

or is it thr same?

[tropic urchin]

you want pink flux

deep clacky is DCF which is what im assuming you're after unless I misread your message

[tulip rapids]

love the pink

[tropic urchin]

when you getting copper pink flux

[red aurora]

love the colors but for sure need a heavier spring cause im getting double space....debounce filter is working though to eliminate that completely

[tulip rapids]

Waiting for the perfect moment to do Facebook live stream

wont find a 3rd party spring until wuque releases some

unfortunately

[tulip rapids]

wooting x flux thockest creamy switch when

[red aurora]

damn so the double space is def a thing with these cerakeys then?

[bright ember]

ceramic keycap and fs flux is end game for me

thats what i will get

[tropic urchin]

due to the weight of cerakeys you want like atleast 65g spring for space bar

[bright ember]

i see

the cerakeys sound so nice so its worth it imo

[red aurora]

thought so i was worried my module was bad

but debounce filter fixes it all for now

[tropic urchin]

nice

[flat cobalt]

Should I get Cherry Love or nah

im torn

[tropic urchin]

only if you get the white alphas

the cream + red is too good

[flat cobalt]

Yeah cause I’m gonna be honest Cosmos weren’t it

[austere bronze]

V2 split with ow60 original mounting bracket😜

[tropic urchin]

part of me also wants to keep current lazurite build and not go for full selene, set is too hard to break

[tropic urchin]

the contrast tho 🥶

[flat cobalt]

What set are the cream ones?

[tropic urchin]

KKB cherries with the white alphas

https://www.keykobo.com/products/in-stockkey-kobo-cherries?variant=50713519980862

Alpha kit essentially

[flat cobalt]

Might just get the base for Cherry Love and then those Alphas then

That looks clean

GMK MTNU Darling😈

[glass dragon]

MTNU 🔥

[uneven cradle]

everytime I look at MTNU i look at the CYL version and think it looks better

[glass dragon]

Its an acquired taste 🤞
Typing feel makes up for the awkward look of the centered text (I got used to it)

[austere bronze]

Coming from SA, I’m used to the centered text. I think the height on MTNU feels balanced

[glass dragon]

Yeah its my go-to hybrid use profile. If I were only gaming, then I’d stick to my cherry profile EPBT sets (I’m addicted to their chalky finish)

[worn coral]

Just assembled my new 60he v2 with a holy 60 case. First new keyboard in almost 10 years very happy.

[bright ember]

looks amazing

did u have to do any grounding

[worn coral]

Thank you sir! No it was very straightforward install.

[glacial wind]

alright picked up some matte v3 cerakeys to try for sound tests, will be a decent chance to see if they actually improved their qc with v3 methods too

found workaround for the whole no split keys issue, is order a matte blank mod kit and just use those for your split keys

[trail sky]

any cool orange keycap sets out rn ?

[glass dragon]

Fully orange, or orange accents?
Right now, there are only orange accent keycap sets in stock

[uneven cradle]

there's GMK Orenji but it just finished Group Buy

[trail sky]

i saw those

[uneven cradle]

might be some extras floating around in 3-6 months though 👀

[trail sky]

so if i order the gmks or any set, it’s compatible with the split space bar on the wooting ?

i’m talking a full set

[uneven cradle]

oblo has them for order now if you can wait till around May https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-cyl-orenji

[trail sky]

they look so good 😍

https://drop.com/buy/drop-dcx-topaz-keycap-set

are these any good ?

i don’t know if i can wait until may

[uneven cradle]

haven't used dcx myself but heard good things from others

[trail sky]

i might just roll with these for now, will this work with split space bar tho ? or do i have to order 2 sets ?

[sacred elm]

Comes with 2.75u 2.25u keycaps, you're good

[trail sky]

pog

ty

[sacred elm]

No blank 1.25u though

[uneven cradle]

yeah the blank 1.25u is pretty rare

[trail sky]

what’s the blank for ?

[uneven cradle]

the middle smaller key of the split spacebar

[trail sky]

does it say super on it ?

[uneven cradle]

you can use the super key yeah

[trail sky]

i don’t think that will bug me too much

ty for the help

[glacial wind]

it's always the 1.25u key giving issues. What i've done is often use kits that have a novelty set

then you can usually steal the novelty 1.25u key and it won't have words on it, but some other generic design that doesn't look at bad

[paper bison]

still blessed the pbtfans crosshair came with 2 blank black 1.25u in base kit

only had to get a pbtfans wob spacebar kit

[red aurora]

Is double press common with ws flux switches? I know cerakeys spacebar is heavy and ive fixed it with debounce filter and increased rapid trigger but I was tempted to try to swap my flux switch and make sure the pcb isnt faulty. Anyone elses 60HE V2 have any issues?

[sacred elm]

No, it's not common. Flux spring weight is not enough for the ceramic spacebar, which is probably the reason of double actuation.

Flux spring weight is 50g, recommended weight for the ceramic spacebar keycap is 70 or more.

[red aurora]

Ok then im gonna quit buggin 😂

those end up at like 35 bucks after shipping and vat, when the original price is 7 bucks, at least on their website
any other ones that are available on kbdfans, since I was maybe gonna shop there already?

Will we get a PC plate replacement from Wooting for the 60 HE V2?

And also is there a huge difference going from FR4 to PC plate cause once I went from Steel to FR4 I thought there was a huge difference but for the better

[glacial wind]

not as big a jump but there's a difference

pc plates will become available from 3rd parties in the next month or so. There's one in japan taking orders for some plates already

although personally i'd go other way and not towards pc since i prefer stiffness

[little glen]

Pc is no bueno

If you want plastic plate go pp

[robust siren]

when wooting cf plate

[glacial wind]

soon i hope, i've been checking keyboard fun store daily lol

i think for personal build i'll be testing out v2 + cf plate + one of the new ttc switches + testing the cerakey v3 for qc

[autumn temple]

Oh I see I definitely do not like stiffness at all and I think that is one of threasons I love the V2 so much more than the 60 HE

And I think I would even like the PC plate perhaps possibly more than the FR4 but liking the FR4 also so long as its not steel

[craggy light]

Should I wait for your review on the CF plate before I commit to getting one

[robust siren]

i would like to se what cf sounds like with the v2

i could mount it but then i wont have any spacebars

[trail bane]

then, just use mods?

[robust siren]

im not cutting the carbon fiber plate myself

id rather not inhale the fibers or get it into my skin

[trail bane]

oh in that way, IC

[glacial wind]

well it wouldn't be that different to how cf makes most boards sound so you can just look at 60he v1 and see how those cf builds sound

[glacial wind]

i saw the twitter modders got into a little exchange over someone calling out the absurdity of lead tape mod lol

[robust siren]

lead tape?

[glacial wind]

yeah one of them started modding keycaps with little bits of lead tape just to change the sound and made a whole guide for it

someone finally pointed out how insane it is to risk lead poisoning cutting up lead tape into tiny bits just to make your keyboard sound better

even if you take proper precautions, wear gloves, wash hands etc etc, any risk of that just for thockier keyboard sound benefit is such an absurd thing to be doing

[robust siren]

yeah that isnt the smartest ting ive heard

[ebon quiver]

they haven't installed asbestos at the bottom of their case

[autumn temple]

Anyone else rawdog there V2 no bottom dampeniong?

[craggy light]

Me

[autumn temple]

You think it sounds much better without any case dampener right ?

[craggy light]

I think so

[autumn temple]

The EPDM changes the sound in a certain way and the Silicone dampener changes the sound in a completely different way but with no foam it just sounds exactly how its supposed to basically

I ask cause im just testing which ones i prefer more I flip flopped from Silicone to EPDM to now i think that im liking zero case dampener much more

[craggy light]

It’s preference, I tried all options and no foam/silicone sounds the most satisfying to me

Some say it has resonance and stuff but idk

[autumn temple]

Yeah I think Im leaning into that direction also

[craggy light]

On Monday I am getting my DCF too and will be switching the GEON RAWs

[autumn temple]

I hear much more resonance with the Foam inside than out

@craggy light have a sound test currently?

[craggy light]

Nope

I have it tray mounted with 2 extra layers of tape, that’s it

On Alumaze

[autumn temple]

Why tray mount?

[craggy light]

Because I don’t know how to friction fit it into the Alumaze

[autumn temple]

Oh I was just asking because I thought it was a conscious decision against friction fit thats all

[sacred elm]

Just put the module in with the friction fit pad?

[craggy light]

I will keep it like this

I also don’t want that silicone pad on the keyboard

I removed everything and I like how it sounds right now, won’t add anything else

[robust siren]

me though its more with the case not having enough room

[autumn temple]

I think im actually liking it without the case dampener atleast based on the Tikken switches. I think the case dampeners destroy the beautiful sound of the Tikkens cause they sound better without any dampening. Now if I had another switch of some sorts then I might prefer the dampener I think it depends on the switches that you are using

Thats what I found my answer to be atleast

cause I feel like for me the dampeners like stop the nice sound coming through of the tikkens

[craggy light]

It sounds more marbly without any material interfering

[autumn temple]

Yeah totally and completely agree wit h that

the EPDM foam ruins it

BTW not shitting on EPDM or silicone block its just that it has a use but maybe not the for Tikkens they sound better with other switches

Still testing a bunch of stuff and see what I like basically

[robust siren]

heres v2 in my case

[autumn temple]

honestly think that my only issue with my V2 might just be the Tikkens I just might not be a fan

[little glen]

Holy foam

I‘m only using the middle foam on mine

[bold bane]

What are those pink switches?

[robust siren]

ws flux deep clacky

[little glen]

DCF mentioned

[autumn temple]

Anyone have any recommendations to reduce chatteryness?
RN I find that the Tikkens just make a lot of chattery noise in my case. Would switching to another switch help with that chatter produced by the switches and also would switching to a PC plate from an FR4 help reduce chatter?

Here with this video I just sent you can see that the genty silent switches paired with PC plate sound like they almost have zero chatter?

Fricton fit helps with chatter so I hear which V2 already has so thats good but the switches must be the issue for the chatter

I dont need the switch to be silent I just want less chatter is all

What is DCF?

[tropic urchin]

what is the sound so far that you dont like

[autumn temple]

I dm'd you

[analog mulch]

hey guys, do i need case foam if im using the plastic cover from the holy 60?

[rotund perch]

Honestly I am a bit mad that I couldnt test my fr4 plate but honestly idk why I even ordered it, I like the stock pc plate lmao

[tropic urchin]

yeah dont bother with genty switches. They weren't really good when they came out and they wont be very good now imo. Since you want a softer profile, just get Raptor V2 atleast they will have good stability and very tight stem

[autumn temple]

Raptor V2 but are they soft sounding? Like when I listen to the genty silent switches they sound like you are typing on glass and have this really nice clean profile are those raptors just as good?

[tropic urchin]

they've been the softest switches ive used so far, but the genty switches arent going to be more stable than tikken and you dont like chatter, so while they are more muted you will probably still get more chatter issues using less stable switches than tikkens

i mean you're also using PC plate too so thats going to soften them even more than they are already

[autumn temple]

Also based on that you said I want a softer profile which I do want shouldnt it be obvious to go for PC plate over the FR4?

Also no im not using the PC plate im using the stock FR4 60 HE V2

[tropic urchin]

in your case then, take a look at the wooting mod site, Sno has every switch reviewed with sound tests available with the stock 60HEv2

[autumn temple]

But I should go for PC plate over FR4 right?

[tropic urchin]

[autumn temple]

Cause I like the softer sound

[tropic urchin]

its probably worth trying for you

99.5% of this space is preference, so you will need to try a few things to see what you like/dont like

[autumn temple]

No I know I get that but im just trying to predict that I would prefer PC because I went from Steel to FR4 and that made a huge difference to me I really liked it

[tropic urchin]

oh wow

[autumn temple]

Like really really liked it more

[tropic urchin]

yeah so the main things with FR4 to PC plate is with FR4 you get a stiffer experience which gives you a clackier experience, but since PC is the second softest plate, the material ends up dampening quite a bit of sound so you will get less switch feedback

FR4 gives it a more full bodied sound and PC makes it quieter

[autumn temple]

Honestly I would only swap over to PC plate if I saw an official upgrade from Wooting on their website

[tropic urchin]

since you liked the PC plate Genty combo, i would just get a PC plate to try and get a decent switch to pair

[autumn temple]

But yeah that is what im after that softer sound that you described thats a good way to describe it almost sounds like glassy to me but soft is also true

[analog mulch]

can i use casefoam with friction fid pad and plastic cover on holy 60 for my wooting v2? or do i need to remove it?

[autumn temple]

@tropic urchin The raptor V2s dont really sound all that soft though?

[tropic urchin]

its with FR4 plate

[autumn temple]

And also do you think that Wooting will release a PC plate mod for V2 since they did for V1?

[sacred elm]

Tikkens are softest sounding on that list, lube them and they'll have less chatter

[autumn temple]

I trust the product more if I know its coming from Wooting

[autumn temple]

So then just change the plate then?

To sound softer ?

[sacred elm]

Maybe, but softer plate isn't available yet. For now try lubing Tikkens and probably get thick PBT keycaps

[autumn temple]

Yeah but I mean when it is available which hopefully it will be

[sacred elm]

Don't hold your breath for a v2 compatible PC plate from Wooting. I don't think they'll do it.

[autumn temple]

Really why?

[sacred elm]

It's not worth it, it won't sell well. Even when the 60HE v1 came with a steel plate preinstalled, PC plate wasn't very popular, and it would be even less popular now that the v2 comes with an FR4 plate.

[honest sparrow]

Hey guys. If you friction mount yo either have to use a screw or a sponge to ground, right?

[trail bane]

gn

[autumn temple]

That’s okay then couldn’t I just buy one off a trusted third party?

[autumn temple]

But wdym tho the 80HE has a PC plate stock and people bought the 80HE and seem to like it so I think there’s a market for it

[turbid adder]

how do you safely remove the switches of the wooting v2

i cant get a grasp on them

[untold wigeon]

Do you have a switch puller

[turbid adder]

im using the one wooting has

[untold wigeon]

So grab top and bottom of the switch down against the plate and rock top to bottom gently. It might require some force because they can be tight. But don’t pull with force.

[turbid adder]

yo this switch puller

i broke the

switch

[orchid mortar]

Damn.

[untold wigeon]

That’ll happen

[cyan lark]

Yes

[turbid adder]

the plastic cover snapped

[untold wigeon]

Especially if they are tight

[turbid adder]

how do i remove the one thats damaged

[cyan lark]

Violence

[turbid adder]

why is this so tight

[cyan lark]

Take the switch plate off if you haven’t already and press up from underneath

[untold wigeon]

Remove the plate and pcb and push from the bottom. Don’t bend the pcb

[orchid mortar]

im getting anxiety from the anticipation of ur messages

[untold wigeon]

Get this. It is your friend.

[turbid adder]

yo

[turbid adder]

the board snapped

[orchid mortar]

everytime i see u type i can see the "I broke the keyboard...." mesa

[turbid adder]

its done

[orchid mortar]

BRO

im crying

[turbid adder]

nah lowkey

i want a refund

bro how do you pull these switches

i can only get a grasp on the south side but tthe north side is buns

wont grasp that edge

bri

this it horrible

im breaking my wooting

omg the switch came out

[craggy light]

bro snapped his module trying to pull out a switch

[turbid adder]

omg i found out

how to remove them

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/terminator-worth-it-gif-6345901662570974950

[turbid adder]

you think theyll provide a refund

[cyan lark]

For you breaking your board?

I would not imagine they would but shoot your shot

[turbid adder]

bim joking but do you know how i can remove this switch that has the plastic side ripped off its still stuck

[cyan lark]

Two people told you already

[hot rivet]

its genuinely so upsetting that the default wooting case sounds so much better than the holy 60

i love how this case looks, but the sound does not compare to the full aluminum wooting case 😔

[fluid ravine]

I wouldn't be surprised to be honest
The holy series design is full of holes so it's basically an open case design. It can't contain sound like a normal case would so sound would leak everywhere.

[lyric nimbus]

this sound normal or do i need to lube

[fluid ravine]

Needs loob

[lyric nimbus]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1364303013249810494/1440514605766934573/colon3.gif

is there a way to lube it without having to disassemble it

[fluid ravine]

Time to oil it up mAh boi

[fluid ravine]

For the wires you can do syringe lube

[lyric nimbus]

what do you recommend

[fluid ravine]

Kinetic labs sell syringe lubes

[lyric nimbus]

is silicone grease dielectric

[hot rivet]

Does your default spacebar also have the same pinging sound?

If not it might be the spacebar itself which might let you skip lubing stabs

[hot rivet]

Idrk exactly what your listening for but if the issues still there with default probably have to lybe

Lube

[lyric nimbus]

no like

is this normal

is the question

yeah no

i used my sisters kb

it needs lube

[hot rivet]

Loll

[lyric nimbus]

is this right

[hot rivet]

yea, i was hoping the silicone bottom would help with that, but it still doesnt sound anywhere close to as good

it kinda just dampens the sound too much

it comes with foam but similar problem

im ngl i probably also need to relube my stabs

but im too lazy

[lyric nimbus]

well

i mean

it is a good thing that i do have to lube anyways

im getting cerakeys

[hot rivet]

i already have em

they sound so nice

[lyric nimbus]

after the cerakeys

i'm left with 1 last modification

custom 2he case...
