[hot rivet]

This is the v2 with the v3 cerakeys and the foam bottom

No lubes or anything done to stabs

Its not perfect but im happy with it

[fluid ravine]

Yes

[lyric nimbus]

ok

[lyric nimbus]

what switches

tikkens?

[hot rivet]

yea

default tikkens

[lyric nimbus]

damn

[hot rivet]

also ignore that stratchy sound when i was hitting backspace, i think my bracelet hit my mouse

[lyric nimbus]

cerakeys sound poppy

i got the cerakeys v2

[long socket]

my brain is lagging or sum.. why wont it get red?

[lyric nimbus]

i was considering the lacquered ceramic set buuut

they cost SO FUCKING MUCH

[hot rivet]

im pretty sure theyre basically the same thing, except the coating is different

[long socket]

they are fn with me or sum now its red lmao

[hot rivet]

click the key youre trying to turn red

[long socket]

didnt change anything at all now its red lmao

[hot rivet]

idk my settings look about the same

[long socket]

also makes a lot of sense that on both keyboards the Color code is the same but it shows different in the app

legit i just plugged in the 80he... red... plugged the 60he back in.. then it got red aswell

[fluid ravine]

FRIJOLES WTF

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEEEEN

[long socket]

https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/2tRirWLdP9kx8RkI7F3ZFI?si=4d00dd456a9e4d99 instantly got that song in my head

[untold wigeon]

lol wut? I lurk.

[fluid ravine]

Fr???

I feel like I havent seen you in a decade

[untold wigeon]

Yes.

lol. It has been a while

[fluid ravine]

The last like interaction I think I had with you was when I bought your cf plate

[fluid ravine]

Yeee

[untold wigeon]

How’s it holding up?

[fluid ravine]

Oh I sold my wooting v1 like a year ago

[untold wigeon]

Bought? I gave it to you

[fluid ravine]

Just recently got the v2

[fluid ravine]

Oh you didddd

Right mb I forgot

[untold wigeon]

Nice. V2 looks great

[fluid ravine]

Yeaaa

But I need to replace everything

[untold wigeon]

Only way to enjoy it

I built a silent switch mechanical keyboard. I LOVE silent switches

[lyric nimbus]

btw how do you guys clean your plates

[cyan lark]

Lick it clean

[robust siren]

take all the keycaps off and just brush it

[thorn zealot]

thats cuz thats how it came in...

hes talkin abt the sep pc plate wooting sold for the 60 v1

obv the pc plate on the 80he sold well

[autumn temple]

Yeah youre not understanding my point..

Im saying if tons of people purchased the 80HE then obviously they had no issues with it being a PC plate so people like PC plates

[uneven cradle]

Wooting tested internally many different plate materials and the feedback was that FR4 was the favorite out of those

[thorn zealot]

just cuz alot of ppl bought the 80he doesnt mean pc plate is the most popular

[autumn temple]

Then why would Wooting put in a PC plate if they knew it wasnt the most popular?

[uneven cradle]

this was testing it with the 60HEv2 - plates can also change how they sound/feel depending on many factors like mounting method, layout size, case material etc

[lyric nimbus]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/167181566978555904/1447309255576391782/caption.gif

ngl i want a

FR4 plate for the 2he

stop neglecting 100%ers...

[autumn temple]

Yeah of course. But don't you think there will be other plates available third party?

[uneven cradle]

it's also quite subjective also

there will be plates eventually from third parties yeah

Wooting sells a lot of keyboards so as long as there is some demand I'm sure there will be places selling plates etc

[autumn temple]

Does it really make a difference where the plates are coming from a PC plate from Wooting versus reputable third party? @uneven cradle

In terms of quality?

[thorn zealot]

they put in their 60he+ and 80he cuz it was better than the steel plates they were usin before

[thorn zealot]

no

[autumn temple]

Yeah thats true steel is the worst imo

[uneven cradle]

plates can feel pretty different depending on the quality

I've had some pretty poor quality PC plates that feel/sound very different from the higher quality ones

[lyric nimbus]

i want

tungsten keycaps

[autumn temple]

Where can I be on the lookout for eventual PC plates any suggestions?

[lyric nimbus]

it'd cost like $2000 but it'd be so fucking funny*

[uneven cradle]

aliexpress usually

[autumn temple]

@uneven cradle Also do you think that Wooting would do a V2 PC plate swap?

[uneven cradle]

probably not

[autumn temple]

They had no plate swaps for 80HE right

[uneven cradle]

yeah just the 60HE but that was because earlier models had that steel plate

[autumn temple]

@uneven cradle One other question, where is Wooting focusing on going forward after V2 release?

[uneven cradle]

I couldn't tell ya even if I knew - they're on the road map to make more high quality keyboards

[autumn temple]

Would be nice if they did do some more catering towards mods for their boards nothing crazy but some little things here and there would be nice but if I had to guess I would think they are on track probably to do a full size Wooting board.

Seems like the next obvious step, no?

[uneven cradle]

I'm sure a lot of Wooting staff would be happy if that was the case

it is a less popular layout compared to the 80HE and 60HE

[autumn temple]

Well if they arent going to work on a full-size board next then I'd be very curious to see what it is that they do focus on

[glacial wind]

Fr4 was actually much more popular with pros as hopper mentioned

in fact the feedback with pros on 80he is some don’t like the extra dampening feel vs 60he

I’m fairly sure regular buyers though would have bought 80he regardless of the plate provided, as it’s not that big a factor to average joes

[hot rivet]

this might be a weird question, but do you know of any cases that sound thockier than the wooting v2 case?

[glacial wind]

more dense cases will be slightly deeper sounding on average

so for example optimum is much more dense and heavy than the stock v2 case

although the sound difference isn't super major and honestly 'case maxxing' doesn't get that far vs. changing switches/plates/keycaps

also if you want holy60 case to sound more decent you need the bottom cover if you haven't yet added that

[frosty sequoia]

How come?

[hot rivet]

i have that, it makes the board sound muted

i prefer the foam it comes with tbh

[glacial wind]

Wait you’re not using foam and the plate?

Don’t tell me you’re just using bare plate

[hot rivet]

oh wait

im actually supposed to use both?

i tried that and the usb didnt really sit well infront of the hole for the case so i kinda assumed it was one or the other not both lol

[sacred elm]

Is that Holy60 case foam?

[hot rivet]

yes

i will say it does sound better with both

its just it doesnt sit that well in the case housing with both the plastic cover + foam

'

[glacial wind]

Is it the official bottom plate?

For me my foam sits over the plate standoffs where it would sit anyway

But yeah you’re supposed to use both the bottom plate then the case foam over it

[radiant venture]

anyone know if using a apple usb-c -> usb-c cable for the Wooting 60HE v2 will cause loss in performance?

[glossy pagoda]

Performance isn't the right question, it either works completely or the cable can't handle it. If the latter, you'll experience very obvious symptoms like random buttons getting "pressed"

[radiant venture]

Perfect thanks, should work fine then

[ebon quiver]

In my personal experience they used to make some products that offered something unique for the price, but then they started doing those limited forge drops that were in some cases just a better version of their current products, but with limited availability and exploiting fomo

New non-fomo releases that didn't make much sense as far as price and quality went (meh software, dodgy qc), just about everyone started offering either more for less or better for the same $$, it's like the company just lost touch with what they need to do

No experience with the lube specifically, but now I wouldn't trust them to do anything right, especially when you have widely available and well established alternatives

[uneven cradle]

just get 205g0 it's the gold standard and overkill for what we're using it for but it lasts forever

[halcyon flax]

the wootility app isn't displaying the switch selector option now

[sacred elm]

You need beta Wootility

[halcyon flax]

I do have it I think, I have the 5.2.2 version and the bg service installed as well. Opted for the beta updates too

[sacred elm]

No, you need 5.3.0 version and beta Wootility. https://beta.wootility.io

[uneven cradle]

you can but if you were going to do that it would make more sense to buy the module version of the 60HEv2 since the plastic doesn't come out until around April next year

and the module is designed so that you have an option for alternative cases

[rotund perch]

damn I actually love the stock plate on 80he and stock sounds pretty good imo

[rose falcon]

Any ideas approximately how tall conductive foam needs to be to ground a module with friction fit? Want to try it instead of screwing in

[snow solar]

yo im not deep into tech but i want to switch my wooting keycaps soon do you know if i change my wooting 60he v2 key caps would it like ruin the magnetic switches or anything?

[humble surge]

Nope, you can just pull them off with a tool and replace anytime.

[tropic urchin]

you can mod everything down to the PCB, but you can pretty much customize everything about your board to your liking

[hybrid light]

Hello,
I would like to share some feedback regarding my H60 V2. I have installed Akko Astrolink switches and I am completely satisfied with them.
They offer excellent stability, a very high-quality sound, and outstanding performance. I would highly recommend them.
I also have a quick question: do you know if any software updates are planned to add more switch options, particularly Akko Astrolink switches, as they do not currently appear to be available?
Thank you in advance for your response.

[honest sparrow]

Hi. I might be missing something, but you are currently using them on the v2 no?

[tropic urchin]

if you're referring to the switch selector, they probably will be added in a future update

[hybrid light]

Yes, absolutely. I am indeed currently using them on the V2.

[honest sparrow]

so? like I said I might be missing something but as far as i know you dont have to change anything on software for them to work, no?

[sacred elm]

Raptor v2 is going to be added, which is a recolor of Akko Astrolink

[hybrid light]

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m referring to 🙂

[hybrid light]

No, nothing at all. They work perfectly without changing anything in the software.

[sacred elm]

With switch selector, third party switches will be more accurate

[honest sparrow]

But it doesnt currently exist, right? I've never seen such thing on software

[sacred elm]

You have to use beta Wootility https://beta.wootility.io

[honest sparrow]

ahhhhhh ok! thank you

[dreamy ore]

Anyone know where I can source some WS Flux HE Ocean Whisper? I’ve heard really good things about the switch

[sacred elm]

Wuque recently released them, so they're not widely available.

Will cost a leg probably

[fallen pecan]

are those fully clear or do they have a slight purple tint to them?

[sacred elm]

A bit purple

[fallen pecan]

ah so they're not the flux rgb that people are selling

[sacred elm]

No, that's a different switch

[paper bison]

after manually lubing the dcf and putting them in the v2 i've realised i was wrong and these mfs are crazy

sound much better and feel better than the stock tikkens

S tier switches

[sacred elm]

Yeah, they sound and feel better after hand lube

[hot rivet]

whats the sound profile of the switches?

[paper bison]

much more stable

[sacred elm]

Deep clacky

[hot rivet]

rip

[paper bison]

why rip

they're not loud at all imo

[hot rivet]

i like thock

[paper bison]

it's a nice deep clack

[sacred elm]

Yeah, thock doesn't exist in HE

[hot rivet]

i was thinking about getting different switches, but idk

[paper bison]

a good clack is as close as you' re gonna get to thock in an HE switch

[sacred elm]

DC Fluxes are one of the deepest sounding switches, but still clacky

[hot rivet]

how much deeper are they compared to tikkens?

[paper bison]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vZUUoX7a66g

[hot rivet]

also why is that? the switch design?

[sacred elm]

Yes, magnet is hitting the bottom housing

[hot rivet]

idk if im tweaking or its cause its a different recording set up or what, but the tikkens sound deeper to me in the videos at least

i believe yall that the fluxes are deeper, i just dont think the sound recording is the best to go off of

[sacred elm]

Tikkens are more muted

[paper bison]

do people still use black knights? they used to be a decent deep sounding option

[hot rivet]

also how is tmr going to work with current he boards? is tmr just the switch or the entire housing?

[cyan lark]

It won't work with the current boards, TMR is an entirely different sensor than HE.

[fallen pecan]

the other way around, tmr boards work with existing magnetic switches

[hot rivet]

ahh, okay cool thank you

so its the board, not the switch

[tropic urchin]

compared to the original they're pretty tame in loudness, but you can amplify it a bit more with CF/Copper plate, they're fun to build around

[paper bison]

true, i like the somewhat muted deep clack with the fr4 plate, tikkens sound somewhat chattery in comparison imo but that could just be the strange topout sound the stock tikkens have

[tropic urchin]

tikkens top stability is also rather loose in comparison which probably doesnt help the stock chatter anyway

[paper bison]

tikkens feel good but the topout sound bothers me now with lubed dcf, i just need to lube and assemble my yikb stabs and replace them then i have my "endgame" board until another upgrade comes out

[paper bison]

yeah stock tikkens sound okay if a little chattery/hollow

[sacred elm]

I think that's because dry long spring

[glacial wind]

Okay got a geon leggera and tofu redux on the way so will be able to add those to case database for first batch of sound tests there

[paper bison]

gt-60 perhaps if not already

[glacial wind]

won't add gt60 for awhile, it's no where near as popular as the other cases still and still waiting on plates for full compatibility

first batch will be mainly the most popular options, then will add other cases slowly over time

[snow solar]

it wont ruin the 0.0001 activation thing?

[glacial wind]

no. If you're worried then pick a switch that is tested as compatible on our switch database

but even a lot of the incompatible ones will soon be compatible once they're in the selector. Such as the gateron spark/jade ultra

[paper bison]

fair enough, is it just the leggera and redux on the cards right now? bouncing between using the stock case and holy right now and deciding between buying a gt-60 or something like a black leggera

[hot rivet]

yes

[hot rivet]

yea thats how it sits with both the official bottom plate + the foam that came with the case

[glacial wind]

holy and also the wooting cases of course

so optimum, v2 alu, and alumaze

oh and v2 plastic i should have a unit that's good for sound testing soon i think

this week will be probably grounding tutorial + some sound tests if i have time probably. Just depends on whole christmas thing and how busy/not busy things get since everyone will start going on break

[tropic urchin]

theres only 0.1 actuation currently with wooting, but no it doesnt unless you use some weird switch foam or silent switches

[snow solar]

ye haha i was joking i thought it was 0.15 tho thats better if its 0.1

[tropic urchin]

the rapid trigger can go to 0.1 now from a recent update

[snow solar]

what games do u play with wooting

[snow solar]

dangg

u on v2?

[paper bison]

runescape

[tropic urchin]

80HE

[glacial wind]

honestly going below 0.1 people have to start questioning if it's making them less accurate lol

[snow solar]

damn unc

u 100 years old?

[paper bison]

go back to your ai bullshit shooter

[snow solar]

😢

[hot rivet]

ive seen one brand that had accurate sensors for 0.01mm iirc

[paper bison]

bbbbut smaller number = better jed

[glacial wind]

ours are accurate to super low levels too

accuracy does not equal allowing the setting to go that low, but we are very accurate

[snow solar]

is rune scape actually fun bro its been out for like 24 yrs

[glacial wind]

when they say 0.01 or 0.02 they're literally just listing sensor specs, it has no bearing on actual differences

literally all HE keyboards are at least 0.02 these days because it's the default sensor lol

[hot rivet]

no like it would actually consistently register keys for 0.01mm presses, ill try and find the video

[snow solar]

is it true that theres keyboard like the mad67he that has like 0.01 activation or is that just for marketing

[hot rivet]

this was like a month ago though so idk if ill be able to find it

[glacial wind]

yes but it's a lot of fake bs that gets disabled when you actually go use it in game and not in controlled test with a machine

[snow solar]

i keep seeing people say it but i got a wooting because all the pros be on it

[hot rivet]

ahh

i see

[glacial wind]

because when you set it that low in game, the jitters too much and makes it unusable

so when they test stuff like 0.01 or 0.001, it's all fake bs that gets disabled when you actually game

[tired frigate]

Who has the Gateron orange 2.0’s?

Is the only place to buy them divinekey?

[hot rivet]

yea i heard that was an issue, so that makes sense

[glacial wind]

it's just fake tests they do to make claims but then when you go to use it they introduce deadzone etc that makes it more like 0.05-0.1 lol

because the board has to have that space to filter what is a real press vs. just vibration

[glacial wind]

probably almost no one here. They're insanely old and only OG he guys might have them

they're from era before closed bottom was a thing

[tired frigate]

Oooh

I see

What is a similar sounding switch you think??

[glacial wind]

lekker v2 from long ago lol

[tired frigate]

Listened and they sound pretty damn good

But I like the raws rn

[sacred elm]

They don't, those sound test videos aren't accurate

[glacial wind]

you probably listened to a bad sound test honestly

they sound like lekker v2 but more rattle due to dual stem

[tired frigate]

Damn haha

[paper bison]

gateron oranges are chattery as fuck

[tired frigate]

Really? They sounded silent

[glacial wind]

yeah, and that's why most sound tests are nonsense

[tired frigate]

https://youtube.com/shorts/wO6fmRp9KNs?si=CrM7i3IZ1bjxKksF

Look listen here lol

[hot rivet]

if i want to relube my stabs, do i have to take apart my pcb and whatnot

[glacial wind]

they are more quiet for sure, but so are lekker v2 lol

[tired frigate]

Hahah ok ok

[glacial wind]

they're open buttom switches, so all of them are more quiet

the lesson you've learnt today is that probably 9/10 soundtests online are recorded poorly or with wrong settings/gear and makes everything sound thocky

[paper bison]

you can syringe lube them with the board together but youre better off taking it apart to lube everything properly imo

[hot rivet]

:(

[glacial wind]

i'm curious to see how long the cerakey legends end up lasting with my acid sweat

[tropic urchin]

so toxic 🥀

[glacial wind]

the ps1994 extra set they printed using uv printing or whatever was not it

that lasted like 1 month

[tropic urchin]

oh sweet jesus

ive never heard good things about UV printed caps

[tired frigate]

So what switches are good for being quiet?

Besides the raw he’s?

[trail bane]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[autumn temple]

Wooting 60 HE + is compatible with + PC switch Plate + Friction fit Pad + 60 he V2 aluminum case?
All those combined into one at the same time are all compatible with each other anyone know?

[robust siren]

i dont see why it wouldnt be

should work

👍

[orchid mortar]

whats the obsession with pc plates

idk much about keyboard modding just saying

mainly cus i never do it

[frail hemlock]

Hey guys!
I'm about to upgrade my 60he again by putting in gateron jades, but i believe the stabs need to be modded for that.
Can someone help me out which type of stab needed and where can i order in eu?

[frail hemlock]

My bad it's already in the faq

[frail hemlock]

But anyway if anyone knows a good place to order from i'd much appreciate that

[ebon quiver]

If you're talking about long pole stabs, they might not even be necessary

[frail hemlock]

Just a little something under the stab to fill the gap?

[prime orbit]

Guys

Can I take the case from this https://drunkdeer.com/products/x60-future-he-magnetic-switch-keyboard and use it for the v2 module

[sacred elm]

No, it has centered USB port

[prime orbit]

Ah right

Ty

[paper bison]

come on powerpuff switch store

i bought more dcf for my 80

[young viper]

PC plates just have a different sound profile. Some people say they're better for trying to get a lower pitched "thocky" sounds. But peoples experiences vary of course

[orchid mortar]

so what does fr4 do then

[young viper]

A cleaner sound

[craggy light]

My DCFs from Powerpuff are coming tomorrow

Worth it? We shall see!

[paper bison]

i lubed mine n put them in my v2 and now i want some for my spare board

[craggy light]

Damn

I will not be lubing mine for now but I am excited after hearing so many people only saying good things about this switch

[humble surge]

they are quite decent even stock

to my best knowledge

[cyan lark]

I haven’t lubed mine, they seem fine stock

[humble surge]

but not too bothered to spend cash to get them now that i found my best

[cyan lark]

Best… for now

https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Local_optimum&redirect=no

Oh that’s not a useful page 😆

Who knew the local optima page would be so fraught

[lucid juniper]

I was considering dcf since I wanted to get new switches and a case for my original 60he, but they are the wrong color 🥀

[paper bison]

the switches are the wrong color?

[lucid juniper]

yeah lol

tragically

need to match my transluscent keycaps 🚬

[paper bison]

get opaque keycaps, easy

[lucid juniper]

meh
I went for tikkens instead, I think they'll still be a nice upgrade from v1 lekkers

I do have a gmk set on the way aswell but it won't match nearly as well with my case

[paper bison]

you could also get the regular flux he switches which are full white/cream body instead of pink

[robust siren]

theyre loud as hecc

[paper bison]

they dont seem that bad, taking sound tests with a grain of salt lmao

[lucid juniper]

they also cost about 3x compared to the tikkens unless I'm looking in the wrong places
I'll consider them if I don't like the tikkens I guess, a more neutral white would work too but the green will fit better

[proven wadi]

it said something like that for me too when i got the tcc flip switches. "order will ship in 12 days" or such, but they sent it like 48h after i ordered.

[paper bison]

yeah it was like 24h in my first order, this is just taking longer so im being impatient lmao

[lucid juniper]

looks like my kbdfans order already shipped this morning, just ordered last night
should I have gotten a bottom cover for the holy60? at least it's available on maxgaming so I can just pick one up whenever and the shipping will still be quick

[paper bison]

yeah it improves the sound by a decent margin imo

kbdfans is always good at processing and shipping orders out

[lucid juniper]

think it's both more expensive and currently sold out there but I'll pick that up too then

[paper bison]

sold out where

on kbdfans?

[lucid juniper]

yeah
maxgaming has a few though

[paper bison]

https://kbdfans.com/products/holy60-accessories?variant=43124279771275

[lucid juniper]

top 10 websites of all time

still ends up significantly more expensive with shipping and vat added anyway

53 bucks for that piece of plastic

I'll buy it on maxgaming, just gonna see if my brother wants to get anything at the same time

FUCK

why did i watch it

sigh shouldve put spoilers

[chilly mural]

Ahh. Type writer

[lyric nimbus]

my uhh

12 year old razer keyboard

it has served me well

but oh my god DAMN the wooting is 1000x superior

[loud zephyr]

as in half carbon fibre but it's probably less than that, my maths is fried. Bowl has a build stream of it, looks decent enough I think

[trail bane]

Wow, that’s way faster then I could expect

[lyric nimbus]

btw

you can hear the PINGING SOUNDS

if u pay attention

idk where from though

[fluid ravine]

oh i thought it was like halfway in production

haha mb

[robust siren]

forged carbon

[fluid ravine]

still got my leggera forged carbon accent peice

piece*

it's my wacking stick now

[robust siren]

forged carbon is so booty

[glass dragon]

To make sure, you can use a magnetic screwdriver to disassemble the module right?

[fluid ravine]

yes

[ionic breach]

magnets wont do anything permanent in general

anything just replug

[glass dragon]

Phew, thanks for the reassurance

[glacial wind]

oh kdbfans sale again, could have saved $10 on that tofu i just picked up

that's annoying lol

[glass dragon]

Christmas sale, but if you order now, it will come week(s) after christmas

[robust siren]

gt-60 everything is out of stock

[fallen pecan]

latency numbers from eyejoker

apparently boosted bottom deadzone?

[glacial wind]

that seems weird, but he did get the board during the period where the beta firmware was being updated constantly for bugs, so could be he tested during the period where it wasn't fully stable yet

[glacial wind]

It does seem the case the 60he v2 was tested on older buggier beta firmer unfortunately, as he found out more switches got added to selector mid review lol

[chilly mural]

Is the 80he retested by him?

[glacial wind]

nope, it's old results still

[sacred elm]

I think he shouldn't test keyboards initially, with alpha or beta firmwares

[chilly mural]

Both board def seems like it deserves a retest

[sacred elm]

It's in beta for a reason

[glacial wind]

it's kind of unfortunate and something we bought up internally in that right when reviewers were getting the keyboard that was when we were constantly fixing the switch selector beta stuff. It was before when only internal members and some mods like shafie had access to the beta and it was quite buggy

that's roughly the time he got the board and was testing

[sacred elm]

He tested 80HE with an alpha firmware last year when there was LED bar bug and didn't retest it anymore

[glacial wind]

okay i confirmed internally, he's wrong about the mcu part

the 60he v2 mcu was 100% updated from 80he

[bold bane]

Was wondering if anyone with 60HE v2 SPLIT or non split can answer but how are the stabilizers on the keys are they good? or should i re-lube them?

P.S this is also my first time customising my keyboard so any tips would be appreciated.

[glacial wind]

okay I checked with our team internally too, the plan is to properly allow lower deadzones once switch selector stuff is more final since we can lower it now but want it to be fully stable and not beta before doing so

so that's why he hasn't seen deadzone changes

[uneven cradle]

stabilizer lubing has been improved but I still manually lubed mine to get them sounding/feeling better

plenty of good videos on how to lube stabilizers properly - I personally followed Alexotos's guide

[bold bane]

Appreciated 🫡

[glacial wind]

An interesting thing to note is we also don't know if eyejokers testing rig is configured for variances in switch travel. So for example our firmware calibrates when it reads a 4mm switch is say 3.9mm, and it re-does the accuracy based on that - but if the testing rig eyejoker is using doesn't know that, then it can throw our accuracy off vs. his testing rig

[glacial wind]

So interesting thing internally that we’re not sure about is there’s a disconnect in how we test vs eyejoker it seems

Because our accuracy results on our own machine are much better at like 0.02 or so accuracy, but we don’t know why they seem to off in eyejokers testing

[glacial wind]

oh new ttc horse switches are on their site now

i did not leave enough budget for these this month though lmao, wasn't expecting them to release this early and at this price

[fallen pecan]

pricey stabs too, 89 yuan for a 4 + 1 set

i rmb my designer studio set was around 35 yuan

[glacial wind]

did they say what difference is between ttc white and black horse?

guess i have to go dig into taobao listings to find that

[fallen pecan]

just the color iirc

i guess you can get by with the rgb edition since the only diff to the OG sku is the sleeve around the stem

[glacial wind]

yeah i'll just get the regular one

[fallen pecan]

20 yuan diff between them for 5pcs

[glacial wind]

i wonder how it sounds actually

[fallen pecan]

marketing says like horse clops

[glacial wind]

since this isn't fully enclosed but it's whatever this random inserts they put into it are lol

and it's round stem now

[fallen pecan]

actually looks like 2 horses from the top

embargo is up, there's vids on bilibili

[glacial wind]

sounds much more muted

kind of gateron spark like muteness, but hard to tell because i don't know how this recording is

[fallen pecan]

recording is kinda shit since he did it in the event hall

ttc stabs

[glacial wind]

it's a bit odd that they have barely any marketing specs and info on the horse on their page though

trying to find more detailed info specs but their english one didn't even list spring length

[fallen pecan]

21mm

[warm herald]

Is the stem wobble on KOMs noticeably lower?

[glacial wind]

vs what?

[warm herald]

Vs tikkens

[glacial wind]

yeah kom pom are more stable overall, although sound and feel wise it's not as nice to most people - but that's decision you have to make yourself there

i'll ask ttc for a horse sample i guess. Then I can add it to switch selector a bit quicker

[fallen pecan]

another clip

[glacial wind]

i hate that he holds the mic right next to the key lmao

okay I talked to TTC though and they think they can send me some, so should speed things up a bit hopefully then I can send them with the next batch of switches to switch selector crew

honestly ttc staff are such nice guys normally. They're always so open to talk and help out with stuff

[proven wadi]

@glacial wind hehe even more new tcc switches now, horse? (weird name, slang word for heroin?) :p anyhow did you ever write what you tought about the tcc flip? Mine will finnaly arrive tomorrow! :p

[glacial wind]

oh not yet. I was busy today getting the new update video live, but will record sound test tomorrow

[proven wadi]

cool ty! 🙂

[foggy rivet]

i just seen the new video and any other he switches than lekker are not accurate in actuation?

[glacial wind]

they're still accurate, just that the selector allows it to be even more accurate for all switches that get added, even lekkers

[nocturne canopy]

Hey Guys!

Would you know if there are any switches that are lower in height (not only travel) that Lekker tilkken?

Would love to lower my keyboard a bit as I feel its quite high.

[glacial wind]

none yet

[nocturne canopy]

Damn

[glacial wind]

only travel, but the low profile stuff for actual profile isn't in HE yet

you could get lower profile keycaps though

[nocturne canopy]

Got it. Can you explain? How is that possible?

[glacial wind]

because no one has made one basically lol

new molds cost a ton of money and the demand for specific lower profile switches is low

or did you mean low profile keycaps?

they're just keycaps that are shorter in height

[sacred elm]

Will look like mushrooms

[honest sparrow]

Hey

[foggy rivet]

Do you know when the selector might come out? Because in the video was said coming soon but didn't gave any closer date

[honest sparrow]

@shoe this non split stock

I have knights v4 on the split

[sacred elm]

It's already available in beta Wootility

[foggy rivet]

ohh thanks

[glacial wind]

yep, check the beta wootility channel for details

[sacred elm]

https://beta.wootility.io or you can also download beta app

[honest sparrow]

I just installed the beta firmware. How easy is to rollback if I encounter major problems or if I want to change to stable again?

[sacred elm]

You can rollback from stable Wootility > Settings > Updates and hover over your device.

[honest sparrow]

thank you!

[stoic ocean]

Where do you post your sound test

hell yeah lets go gang
gonna wait for christmas to build it though 🥶

[chilly mural]

Waow

[trail bane]

Tray

[stoic ocean]

The stabs look like an upgraded version of plumber tape mod

[slim jay]

hello, i have a question. i just bought gateron jade pros and i was looking online about them and some people have said they had problems with the key getting stuck until pushed on the other side. and some said they didnt have any problems. some fixes in the comments were talking about the stabilizers. do i need to buy different stabilizers or anything else to make them fit. im using a wooting 60he btw

[sage flicker]

Oo TTC has new switches? Horse and Flip King? What's that about, lol. Anyone have reviews on them? 😄

[glacial wind]

Flip is basically kom pom but more muted sound and pre lubed

[sage flicker]

yeah, the Horse looks much different, interested in that!

[sacred elm]

Most of the time keycap wobble happens with cheap keycaps. Stock and high quality third-party keycaps usually don't have this problem with Jade Pros and other shorter travel switches.
If you still run into this issue, get Geon stem spacers and put them on the stabilizer stems. This effectively turns them into long pole stabilizers and eliminates the issue.

[slim jay]

THANK YOU that might be why also the video the person posted on reddit had different keycaps than the stock ones on wooting so that might be why

[chilly mural]

Hmm, flip, sounds similar to a switch with the same kind of name. Hopefully this one flux out great

[slim jay]

are the geon stem spacers the fastest? not sure if thats the right way to ask about it im new to modding my keyboards wanted to try something new cause ive seen alot about the gateron

[sacred elm]

What do you mean?

[slim jay]

are they like the gateron jade switches

[sage flicker]

We don't have much info about the horse then eh? Not gonna yolo buy then I guess lol

ah we have those sound test vids, but no wobble test.

[stoic ocean]

They will release stabs to

[glacial wind]

They only just came out for sale today

[sage flicker]

ok explains it ;0

[cyan lark]

They are thin shims of flexible plastic. They’re as fast as that sounds.

[slim jay]

oh ya i see now so i just need to put those on the stabilizer and dont need to buy new ones?

[cyan lark]

Correct

[foggy rivet]

are the geon raw l50 linear lubbed if i ordered them from wooting ?

[cyan lark]

Yes

[sage flicker]

Damn, $31 for 15 pieces. Fancy stuff.

[cyan lark]

We’re at $3 switches now?

Oh math

Easily

Early

[sage flicker]

still around $2

;0

[cyan lark]

Just woke up sorry need coffee

[chilly mural]

Mmm, flux price

[sacred elm]

[sage flicker]

60HE makes switch buying cheaper tho, which is cool.

[cyan lark]

Got some coffee now hit me with the math I can do addition subtraction the multiple one all kinds

[slim jay]

will i need to put them on all the keys or just the ones where the stabilizers are

[cyan lark]

Just the stabs

[slim jay]

are there any other stabs that i could buy that are better you know of or just wooting ones the best to have and just add those on to be safe

[cyan lark]

Wooting ones are good. If you really want 3rd party the swagkey knights are also good.

[slim jay]

w thanks man

[lucid juniper]

20% sale on the holy60 2 days after I buy mine

🥹

[paper bison]

thats why you wait for sales, i got mine for 20% off and i had a $8 discount code redeemed lmao

[lucid juniper]

does kbdfans have good returns or are they like g wolves taking $40+shipping off the top if you return something

[paper bison]

idk why i covered the code i already fuckin redeemed it

[paper bison]

iirc they dont pay for the return, and if you get a refund for the item the return shipping cost can be deducted from the refund

[lucid juniper]

not worth to buy a second and return the first then

[paper bison]

nah

the cost of shipping it insured isn't worth the 20% saving

plus the time it takes

[lucid juniper]

don't care about the time but if I got 20% back I would've done it

[paper bison]

when did your order actually arrive at your house

[lucid juniper]

jan 05

according to dhl

[paper bison]

yeah its 100% not worth it to order another then

not at all lol

[deft jolt]

something like that yes

[deft jolt]

cheers hope u enjoy em

[deft jolt]

there's no official English name yet

[deft jolt]

low profile ?

[glacial wind]

i'm confused are you working for ttc now?

[deft jolt]

nah lmao

hi jed

[glacial wind]

why did you reply to that message lol

[deft jolt]

which one

I replied to like 4 msgs

[glacial wind]

yeah i was talking about ttc reps and you said thanks, which is why i was confused lol

[deft jolt]

I didnt say thanks? Just said hope u enjoy em

im curious on the new mold for sure

[glacial wind]

oh you said cheers

cheers in aus lingo = thanks

[deft jolt]

ahh

anyways I wonder what u will think about the new horse switches

definitely needs a good name

[lucid juniper]

horse is a great name i bet my friend will enjoy that

[chilly mural]

It's going to be 馬 (amazing)

[burnt basin]

These sound ok. Which ones r they?

[fallen pecan]

ttc🐴

[burnt basin]

ttc what?

[deft jolt]

no name yet

[deft jolt]

whats that word

[glacial wind]

i'm honestly more curious about the round stem

[fallen pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/horse-horse-running-gif-7569345600600323523

[deft jolt]

the sound packs r interesting too

[burnt basin]

I cant wait for my new keeb

[deft jolt]

https://x.com/i/status/2002375088956424580

soy (@aadihsoy_)

TTC Zodiac Horse switches has an interesting structure - circular stem and 2 sound packs (pic 1)
TTC is also releasing a HE tactile switch (pic 2 and 3)and a 39gf whole travel MX switch (pic 4)

X · Dec 20, 2025, 1:46 PM

[glacial wind]

sound is whatever, long as it's clean i'm happy, but ttc doesn't do round stem switches and their fault for me has always been that it's stable but you feel the stem without heavy lube

round stem might make me main ttc switches again

[rough hedge]

I want to try that tactile and 039

[glacial wind]

from what i've heard of the 035 or whatever it is it basically still feels like a kom type switch, just consistent force

[chilly mural]

Uma (horse, also amazing in Japanese)

[rough hedge]

Hmm I guess maybe not worth it.
Oh the 039 is just the mech 035

[deft jolt]

I'm Chinese not jap oop

[chilly mural]

They be givin switches hoese shoe now

[lucid juniper]

isn't it more like umai than uma

[cloud crane]

horse in traditional chinese

oop can be japanese too

mb

[deft jolt]

ah I used simplified chinese

2 diff Chinese lowkey confusing at times

[grizzled sundial]

Hey guys, I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I purchased a Wooting 60HE v2 module. I also purchased the TOFU 60 Redux case for the module. Aside from switches and keycaps… are there any other NECESSARY things I need to successfully install and use the keyboard? Thanks so much 🙂

[deft jolt]

chick fila is so meh

I'm sad

raising canes so much better

[cyan lark]

Nope, that's all you need.

[blazing schooner]

I have jade pros but I’m thinking of switching to owlab ti, raptor v2, or gravastar ufo switches. has anyone tried gravastar ufos?

[glacial wind]

yes, they're in our sound test database already

https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

[blazing schooner]

I’m thinking the purple switches would be good for my rgb and keycaps

[blazing schooner]

oh cool

[glacial wind]

extremely stable, although very tight feeling - so it'll be either love or hate depending on how you feel about the friction feeling

[blazing schooner]

I think I’d like stable switches. my jade pros are a bit wobbly

[glacial wind]

these are stable to the point you feel the grip on the switches the entire time

so just be aware of that

[blazing schooner]

interesting

does that mean it wouldn’t feel too smooth?

[glacial wind]

yes

it's 'smooth' in that there's no wobble, but you feel a vice like grip the entire time

so it's very hit or miss on how people will like the feeling

i wouldn't so not smooth, but it's just clearly extremely tight fit

[blazing schooner]

I’ll probably just buy a few to start with then

what about owlab ti vs raptor v2s?

[glacial wind]

they're totally different switches

owlab ti he are what more would call a good all rounder

stable, but not super locked in stable, but smooth feeling and great sound

raptor v2 are another one where it's super stable but has some minor issues with spring crunching sounds that some people experience

[sacred elm]

ahem... Flux

[blazing schooner]

oh I heard about flux switches too. how are those?

[sacred elm]

Great all-round switches

Good sound and very stable

[cyan lark]

May want to specify Deep Clack Flux, not the originals

[humble surge]

Yes, i have them since start of december, they are extremely stable, unique and clean sound, can recomnend.

[cyan lark]

Or thocky flux or whatever they get labeled as

[sweet oak]

Ahem…. Crunch

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-crunch-cranch-meow-cute-gif-17368992236901678436

[blazing schooner]

lol I heard a crunch when I tried removing pink outemu switches from my sayodevice

I couldn’t figure out how to remove them properly so I ended up breaking all three. oh well, I didn’t like those switches anyway

[cyan lark]

Violence was the correct choice then

[sweet oak]

Shouldve eaten the remains

[uncut basin]

are these compatible or necessary for the ws flux deep clack?

what's that?

[sacred elm]

If you don't have keycap wobble issue, then no, not needed.

[humble surge]

@uncut basin Lunar in Wooting? No shot

[uncut basin]

o man

crazy

[sacred elm]

[proven wadi]

swedish "post nord" manage to deliver the switches today...to my neighbors house... 🙂

[trail bane]

Ahem... WS Flux Deep Crunch

[cedar pilot]

i finished yesterday my first build for the module v2, owlab ti he lubbed and tofu redux (been loving the sound)

[deft jolt]

ufo sounds good the rest I wouldn't get ngl but the pricing diff

[deft jolt]

prefer duhuk herz over owlab ti, my owlab got worse over time but my duhuk have lasted despite prolonged use

[deft jolt]

flux ocean whisper is the only nice one in my eyes, the other flux are too loud and have some issues like pins breaking or being too stuck

[deft jolt]

I used it and it did help abit

[deft jolt]

it's nice

[peak breach]

More switches in the switch selector when?

[blazing schooner]

how’s the feel?

[deft jolt]

I don't have ufo but I heard good sound tests and heard good stuff from others

[blazing schooner]

the sound tests I listened to seemed nice

[deft jolt]

but I didn't like owlab ti or raptor v2

[blazing schooner]

I see

[deft jolt]

only issue is pricing and disassembly

that I've seen

[blazing schooner]

yeah that’s certainly an odd way to take them apart lmao

[deft jolt]

yeah if u don't care about lubing or spring swapping then I think ure fine

since u won't be disassembling ofr any other reasons

currently I'm waiting for ugaming, unionwell, gateron and ttc new switches

gravastar ghosted me so I didn't get any ufo to test

[blazing schooner]

I’m thinking I’d like the sound and definitely the rgb. I might lube them at some point but it also took me like 4 months to get around to lubing my jade pros

[blazing schooner]

nice lol

[deft jolt]

jade pros weren't that nice to me I'm ngl, it's like kinda mid

the bottom out has a weird feeling, but apart from that the stability is decent and sounds okay

pricing could be better too

[deft jolt]

I just want 10 🥀

[humble surge]

They dont need lubing, and they are already 30% cheaper, quite affordable and in line with the other new switches

[blazing schooner]

I’ll probably start with 10 then get 75 afterward if I like them

[deft jolt]

whats the pricing

[blazing schooner]

I didn’t notice a huge difference when I lubed my jade pros

[deft jolt]

jade pros don't need lubing but the newer switches r better

[deft jolt]

ufo?

[blazing schooner]

yeah

a little over a dollar per switch

[humble surge]

~100$ for 90

[deft jolt]

I can get 10 for like 11usd

I wish it was cheaper

zzzz

but the mold is expensive and the RND costs

and gravastar tax

so if its fine

[blazing schooner]

I’m in the US. will there be any issues with shipping or import fees?

[sweet oak]

Sponsored by Me

[deft jolt]

not sure

[blazing schooner]

earlier this year I got a glass pad and had to pay a $50 import fee they didn’t tell me about until the package already arrived in my state

[deft jolt]

eeee

[humble surge]

Honestly it was wort even at 150, iam happy with them truly

[deft jolt]

50 import is mad

[blazing schooner]

I just had to eat it bc if they’ll screw me on unmentioned import fees, they’ll probably screw me on the returns too

[humble surge]

But new wave of switches also expected in the near future, i beleive that Flip KoM or what it was called that shadow bought is one of them.

[blazing schooner]

I’ll probably have to wait until mid january before I can order new switches. how soon will the new wave of switches be?

[humble surge]

Jabber would know more precisely, he shared the presentation pictures

[deft jolt]

I have flip kom

[humble surge]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message here for example Duck

[deft jolt]

it's nice

[robust siren]

get ws flux deep clacky off aliexpress

[deft jolt]

an improved kom, if u like a more muted / softer thock sound, with lesser physical wobble than the original kom

[deft jolt]

they don't seal flux ocean whisper on its own unfortunately

but it's rly nice sounding

[humble surge]

They seem interesting, just not sure if impressive enough that i will get a set. I think i rather wait for more newcomers.

[proven wadi]

Tcc honey king out

[deft jolt]

taishan gt pink is super duper deep thock if u like that sound

[proven wadi]

Tcc flip in 🙂

[robust siren]

arent those just recolors? or is it actually a different type of flux

[deft jolt]

no it's not

diff flux

[robust siren]

[deft jolt]

it actually sounds good

better than all the flux

cos diff materials

dunno if they changed the mold

abit

but it does sound good

[sacred elm]

That's subjective

[deft jolt]

yes I know, it's just my thoughts

[humble surge]

Kinda want to try the Pink Lotuses though.

[deft jolt]

I have 3 flux types

don't like them sound wise

[deft jolt]

which brand?

but the deep clack flux sounds good as a spacebar

[humble surge]

Wuque Studio 🙂

[proven wadi]

I like the sound of the ws deep flux, i hate how they feel way to heavy, the tcc ones honey king and these tcc flip are just about right for me, not to heavy 🙂

[deft jolt]

wait wot send link

[humble surge]

I cant, i'm not on my PC

[deft jolt]

the sound does depend on build but i didnt like deep clack flux or honey king as much

the flip kom is nice tho

[deft jolt]

alright I'll try to find, thanks for letting me know

[humble surge]

Its certainly on TaoBao and i have bookmark of it, but TB started requiring chinese ID so i cant even browse from phone.

[deft jolt]

oh these

pink lotus is just a pink ocean whisper I believe

[humble surge]

Yeah middle

[proven wadi]

i just now installed the flux ones like 2mins ago, but i gotta say i really like how they feel and sound 🙂

[deft jolt]

the deep flux right

[humble surge]

Thats it

[proven wadi]

i meant to write "flip" 🙂 but yes the deep flux sounded very nice, they were just to heavy for me, my 8 year old son loves them tho..i prefer ~40g

[deft jolt]

ah it's a recolour ocean whisper I believe but I'll double check

[deft jolt]

I see, I didn't like them as much for my builds but they are a nice switch

my favourite build now is with jade deltas and duhuk herz , and it sounds like a mechanical clack almost

I'm flying to Boston rn yay

[deft jolt]

i think you guys will like the new flux when it's out :)

I'm getting a full kit of flux ocean whisper to try out

[humble surge]

I dont recall reading that it would be a simple recolor, but even then i never tried oceans, so still curious.

[proven wadi]

@deft jolt will there be a "lighter" version of it? 🙂

[deft jolt]

based off what I see and read , it seems to be a recolour

[deft jolt]

unlikely but it's just a softer? and better sounding one imo

[blazing schooner]

“horse” switches is crazy 😭

[humble surge]

[deft jolt]

I saw a vid and it sounds the same

[deft jolt]

do u want to give it a name? the theme is the horse since next year is year of the horse for Chinese like zodiac

I'm having a hard time naming the switch

[proven wadi]

i would be happy if they would rls a 35-40g deep flux, that would be sweet 🙂 is it like 50g or such now? the geon raw 40g messed me up and now i cant use anything that is heavier then that :p

[deft jolt]

u can spring swap if ure free

but flux stem size is big so u will have a hard time to find the right size

[proven wadi]

thats true, i might try and swap the geon springs for the deep flux and see how that plays out 🙂

ah ok

[deft jolt]

I have both the switch and geon springs, I cna compare the sizes when I'm home

if i rmb

[sacred elm]

Those springs aren't compatible

Flux uses 6.65mm springs

[proven wadi]

that would be cool if you wanna and have the time 🙂

[sacred elm]

Currently there are no compatible springs

[proven wadi]

ah oki

[deft jolt]

(in the global market)

China has some

[deft jolt]

since shafie said it's not compatible then ig not

I saw some like 24g bottom out springs or smth

kinda crazy

[proven wadi]

i just installed the "TTC Flip King of Magnetic Switch" just now, and so far im very happy with how they sound and feel. and i bet my son would hate me if i took his ws deep flux switches tho 🙂

hehe 24g, im not sure i dare to try that, then prolly 40g would feel to heavy after awhile :p

[robust siren]

@deft jolt can you ping me with a sound comparison between the ocean and deep clacky when you get them?

or is there a video with them side by side in the same keyboard

[blazing schooner]

ohh ok that makes more sense

[river wadi]

Guy i want my Keyboard to look like this but the case (Aluminium) is this color bright silver or am i missing something?

Cuz on the Website i cant find grey case

Never mind i found it

Just fyi, no affiliate codes allowed in here, so I deleted your message @deft jolt

In general affiliate code posting creates a bad atmosphere and you can't trust whether something was said for the affiliate commission or whether they're being truthful. So no affiliate codes are allowed either in chat or in names

DISCORD DISCOUNT -- so hypocritical 🙄

https://tenor.com/view/so-good-wink-smile-oh-yeah-its-true-gif-24163876

[glacial wind]

turing is right, we will make an exception for if you have a code that increase the cost of the purchase to show you really believe in the product

one day mark will accomplish his dream

[blazing schooner]

were there any announcements about new gravastar ufo switches?

[glacial wind]

they just came out

it's a bit early for v2 lol

[robust siren]

ufo but louder

[glacial wind]

oh btw we confirmed the wooting 60he v2 review by eyejoker was on the old 2.12 firmware. So that explains a lot of the results

also his chart for accuracy was wrong in editing and the values are actually better than shown

he said they plan to do a follow up video later once firmware is more ready for testing perhaps

[sacred elm]

He should also retest 80HE

[glacial wind]

it's a bit of a bummer it was all tested on 2.12 firmware, but i suppose he did get the keyboard early when the 2.13 beta wasn't even stable enough for public beta yet

that's why all the results are basically just wooting 60he results

[narrow jolt]

is Aliexpress a good place to get some keyboard keycaps for wooting 80he

[glacial wind]

yeah

not all keycaps are great or high quality though, but aliexpress has everything from cheap and awful, to cheap and good, to expensive and good

it's basically just like amazon but much more selection

[narrow jolt]

Sno do you know some shops that are good?:)

[glacial wind]

well it comes down to designs more so than anything else and price ranges

but a good place for cheap and good is FBB

FBB keycaps are crazy good value for what you get at the price

[flat lily]

i got a few sets from there, all of them are good but even said "PBT" feels kinda off but hey they never worn out

[blazing schooner]

what’s the best place to buy gravastar ufo switches in the US?

[proven wadi]

haha just move to Sweden, and you will be charged way more at once, as we tax the s**t out of everything here! 😉

[deft jolt]

I saw a vid online

[deft jolt]

will be waiting for new results thanks for letting us know

[deft jolt]

for now TTC for sure need name suggestions

[blazing schooner]

TTC Umamusume HE magnetic switches

[deft jolt]

also just landed in Boston

nice airport

@silk hound im in u

[rough hedge]

I dont think any other store has them other than direct from gravastar or overpriced aliexpress listings

[deft jolt]

yes and yes

no actual retailers

sadly

[gleaming flint]

Guys is the kbd holy80 made in mind for the wooting?

Nvm it costs an arm and a leg combined

[deft jolt]

u could get a clone

[gleaming flint]

Thats not a bad idea

[blazing schooner]

LMAO aliexpress has 100 switches for like $250-300

[cyan lark]

Yessss $3 switches

[deft jolt]

yeah it's too much

[flat lily]

Knight v4 are good and 80he uses 6.25u

[humble surge]

Nope, it just came out, doubt they have anything new or better cooking for now.

[tropic urchin]

Anything between knight v2 to v4/typeplus yikb should be fine

[ionic breach]

not 7u'

6.25u is the spacebar length for wooting

[humble surge]

Official store had them on discount recently, but TB price is similar, should be the same there.

[young viper]

It's about a dollar per switch excluding shipping and tax through their website

Still on sale

[blazing schooner]

oh ok I might just order it now then

[blazing schooner]

any idea how long the sale will last or should I just get them now?

[plush wolf]

have anyone tried AEBoards Raeds HE switches on 60he v2?

[lyric nimbus]

do yall have any recommendations for a keyboard travel case

(2He)

[humble surge]

On official i have no clue, on TB they seem to have just lowered it without coupons or discounts involved.

[loud zephyr]

I've used the Raeds on the OG 60he and they just didn't feel right for me. There's a weird mushiness that at times my movement felt like I was stuck, the Raeds didn't feel precise. They're good at silencing your keyboard but otherwise OK imo

[ionic breach]

the athena has smaller borders than i thought

[tulip rapids]

dont do it

ibuypower and cyberpower are the worst prebuilts in the market

[bold bane]

Is that stock or modded btw?

[blazing schooner]

what’s the actuation force on the gravastar ufos compared to jade pros?

[rough hedge]

HE switches dont have actuation force

[fluid ravine]

40+-10gf

Specifications is all on their page

[blazing schooner]

oh right, wrong term

[blazing schooner]

cool

should be close enough then. not sure why I wasn’t seeing that on the page

[fluid ravine]

Specs and detail under buy option

[blazing schooner]

yeah I see it now

[fluid ravine]

Operation force

[blazing schooner]

for some reason I saw 40g at first then thought I read something that said 50g and got confused

idk where I saw the 50 from

[thorn apex]

Guys, I just get my 60HE, and I want to get Creamy sound on it, how can I do this, someone can help me pls?

[cyan lark]

DID SOMEONE SAY

https://tenor.com/view/cream-ice-cream-eating-ice-cream-lick-gif-15733535

[young viper]

You can't really get "creamy" and "thocky" sounds on he keyboards. There's stuff like tape mods and band-aid mods that will definitely get you closer to that sound, but there's no real creamy sound profile.

[cyan lark]

Don't shove band-aids into your switches plz

or stabs

[marsh saffron]

What about under my stabs

[cyan lark]

Go with god you maniac.

[deft jolt]

no creamy sound

[thorn apex]

Whyyy

[thorn apex]

I would even be satisfied with a similar sound.

[steel ibex]

youy could go for the clacky ig

[thorn apex]

Its too loud in my opinion

It's going to sound weird, but I really liked the sound of my old Attack Shark

Probably the only thing I liked about him.

[tulip rapids]

there's a lot of things you can do to change how loud the clack is dw

with switches, swap plates etc

[thorn apex]

In general, I liked the new Tikker switches, won't they fit my keyboard?

[tulip rapids]

they will fit

[thorn apex]

Good

[steel ibex]

90% of switches will

just make sure you order enough

[thorn apex]

Thanks

[autumn temple]

Anyone know if this fits 60 HE V2? https://kbdfans.com/collections/plate/products/tofu60-redux-plate

[uneven cradle]

interesting way of making it support mid usb, mounting method looks very similar to tadpole

not the biggest fan of the aesthetic though

[robust siren]

idk about those keycaps

[cyan lark]

I do know about those keycaps 🚮

[ionic breach]

[thorn apex]

Guys, is it true that the Type C port is removable in 60HE+?

[robust siren]

no

[thorn apex]

So they are absolutely the same with OG 60He, except stabilizers

[tulip rapids]

why would you want to remove the USB c port ?😭

[thorn apex]

I just heard that the port is removable so that it would be easier to change the case. Or something like that

[uneven cradle]

Thats true for the venom60HE

But not for Wooting

[thorn apex]

Okay, thanks

[robust siren]

if you buy the prebuilt it has plate mount stabilizers

and a steel plate

module has pc plate and screw in stabilizers

[tulip rapids]

for your first modding experience I would look into case , switches , and plate

[thorn apex]

Plate for change the sound?

[tulip rapids]

you have a steel plate since yours was prebuilt

[tulip rapids]

all I suggested can change the sound of the keyboard that's why I told you find a preference you like

[thorn apex]

That’s why he is so noisy?

[thorn apex]

Oh, I appreciate that

[tulip rapids]

I mean standard wooting doesn't sound too loud out of the box iirc

[thorn apex]

I want more quiet

[tulip rapids]

You can search up mod videos on YouTube that use the wooting module and copy that

there's also wooting yt channel that talk about modding as well and also check in #🪛│modding_faq

talks about plate stiffness and switches

sno made it very easy

there's a link to a website that he recorded sound test of switches and etc

[tulip rapids]

go out into the world my boy and find the creamy switches one piece

[lyric nimbus]

hm

would it be possible for FR4 to be fit into 2HE?

[tulip rapids]

when will the fr4 white plate be available in the wooting store ?

Probably hasn't been brought up yet 😔

[fluid ravine]

need black

black supreme

[quasi hinge]

Fedex just gave me an early xmas gift

V2 split space bar

Will setup/mod after the holidays

[fluid ravine]

ayy

[robust siren]

i ditched stock steel on 60he+

[humble surge]

[fallen pecan]

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/anchorman-black-will-ferrell-gif-11746818

[humble surge]

Giga cheap then, basically half the price i paid. No brainer switch at that stage.

[glacial wind]

that's definitely not cheap

[sacred elm]

No brainer switch for $80

[glacial wind]

it's cheaper but it's not cheap at all lol

[humble surge]

Relative to where it was, thats a big diff, basically DCF price now

[glacial wind]

yeah but you gotta chill about this no brainer switch stuff

you have to put yourself in the shoes of the folks you're recommending it to, not yourself

just because you love the switch, doesn't mean they auto will nor that they're the demo for it

[humble surge]

You could ask people to chill about DCF then aswell, same scenario just more people hopped on it. But no, i sincerely beleive its good switch, not just subjectively.

[tulip rapids]

sno has there been any information about fr4 plate being sold separately in wooting store ?

[glacial wind]

good does not mean auto recommend to everyone as a do everything switch.

the friction feel alone makes them not a good switch for everyone

[sacred elm]

Flux is $20 cheaper and definitely a safer recommendation for most

[humble surge]

See what i mean, subjective.

[glacial wind]

if flux had the same friction feel or other issues i wouldn't auto recommend it either because that's an issue as an all-rounder no brainer recommendation

[humble surge]

Sorry you dont like it.

[glacial wind]

yeah but your line is very subjective

i like the ufo actually, but it doesn't mean i think everyone will

you have to draw a line where it's your preference vs. average person

put the average person into your shoes where they don't have a preference for stability over everything else

[humble surge]

I never said everyone will, you came up with that.

Sure a sound based person will like something different.

[glacial wind]

yeah but you said no brainer and you've been auto recommending it to everyone

there's clearly a lot of people who will not be down with the friction feel

[humble surge]

Beating around the bush now.

[glacial wind]

it's same way how i loved ttc poms when they came out, but i don't recommend them as a general switch because of the drawbacks

you can love something but you don't have to push every single person to it if it's not something that's easily loved by everyone

[night atlas]

dc flux on top!!!

lol

jk jk

[humble surge]

I have been recomnending it to people that wanted stability mostly, its a no brainer for that. Stop blowong it out of proportion pls, iam barely even here.

[glacial wind]

that's not true at all, but yes let's drop it

[night atlas]

@humble surge did you lube yours?

[humble surge]

It is true and you are worked up over nothing. Which is surprising to me. I'll leave ir with that.

[glacial wind]

end of the day i think people need to realise that it's cool to tell people what you like, whether it's flux, tikken or ufo, but it's always best to put yourself into shoes of folks when they ask for recommendations

this applies to randomly recommending flux dc just as much if someone asks for a budget switch for example

it's same reason why for example if someone is on a budget and they ask for switches i say just stick to tikkens first because they're dirt cheap in the bundle price

it's always good to try match what you recommend to what the person is looking for before blindly yelling at them to buy certain switches/mods

[robust siren]

but youre not using what im using so therefore its bad /s
