[sturdy rock]

Probably

[fluid ravine]

notice how only wooting's cases only has them?

[marble harbor]

The alumaze case is wooting

[fluid ravine]

yeah ik

[marble harbor]

It doesn’t have it though

[fluid ravine]

well alumaze is their first case that they made a few years back

this grounding thing was thought of during the 60he+ times

and when optimum case was being made

so the concern was brought up just then just to be safe even tho theres a really low chance of electrical charge that would damage the pcb

[marble harbor]

Ahh that makes more sense

Damn maybe I should’ve gone with the new case, oh well

I’ll just slide in the one screw for now I guess until I figure it out

[sturdy rock]

Shouldn’t be a big issue dont worry abt it yeah or just get conductive foam and just place it between the pcb and case

[glacial wind]

If you want the conductive foam it’s on Amazon

[fluid ravine]

yea im selling my case
i need moni'

[glacial wind]

They sell a giant sheet of precut ones for $5-8

[sturdy rock]

Oof

[marble harbor]

Right on!

[glacial wind]

I’m making a YouTube video right now on proper grounding options actually, so hopefully they’ll be done by end of the week

[marble harbor]

Hell yeah!! I might lowkey wait for that

[fluid ravine]

in the process of editing right now?

[sturdy rock]

Always hard at work

[marble harbor]

I’ll keep using the ducky for now

[glacial wind]

In process of staring at the conductive foam bits that got stuck in customs for awhile lol

[fluid ravine]

lol

[marble harbor]

You’re testing it out right now practically?

[primal imp]

A

[glacial wind]

Don’t really need testing as we’ve done it before but mostly just waiting on all parts so I can record all the mods at once

[frail hemlock]

I'd just ask for some spare foam for free in the nearest electronic component shop

[glacial wind]

I want to show alumaze, tofu and holy all in one video as those are the 3 ungrounded but popular cases

[marble harbor]

Ahh I gotcha!! That’s great, I can’t wait to check it out

If you don’t mind me asking, would I just need to add a piece to hit the usb port? Or should I do the whole case?

[glacial wind]

it’s a very easy mod though I don’t know if you need a video really. It’s literally just scratch case coating where you want to stick it ‘just under usb port’ then glue it there

[glacial wind]

Never whole case. Just 1 specific point like we did with optimum

[marble harbor]

Gotcha!! Thank you!! I’m a little anxious about it that’s all. I just don’t want to break anything haha. I mean I’ve built plenty of pcs so I’m sure I’ll be good but it was just kind of hard finding the right information especially because I’m new to keyboard building

[glacial wind]

You could order the foam on Amazon in meantime if you’re wanting to do that mod

[marble harbor]

Will do!!

[glacial wind]

This is the one I’m using

[marble harbor]

Another real quick question. I see in the tutorial it says to add the foam layer into the case for dampening, I like loud lol. Can I use no sound dampening layer?

[glacial wind]

You can use whatever you want long as it’s not going to short pcb or be too thick

Some folks use polyfill, some no foam, some silicone, some car insulation, etc etc

[marble harbor]

Ahh so if I add the foam layer that came with the pcb I don’t have to worry at all?

Now I’m a little confused haha

[glacial wind]

You just pick one

Either foam or silicone or none

or a custom solution

[marble harbor]

But then for grounding

That layer would ground it with friction fit in the alumaze?

[glacial wind]

For grounding it doesn’t matter what you pick

the case dampening isn’t affected as there are cutouts in it for the spot you’d ground

[marble harbor]

Like if I take the foam that it came with and used that I would still have to add the conductive foam near the usb in order to not use screws correct?

[glacial wind]

Yes the foam it came with it for your case

The conductive foam is just a tiny little square thing

[marble harbor]

Sorry if I’m being dense lol

[glacial wind]

All it does it ensure metal on metal contact when use your keyboard

So it’s just a tiny thing the size of fingernail for electric conductivity

[marble harbor]

Cool!! Either way then dampening layer or not I’ll still pick up the conductive foam

[frail hemlock]

You can also squeeze the foam inside a drilled stand-off to make the contact with the pcb if you don't want to sand the case's coating

[marble harbor]

That actually may be the best idea

[frail hemlock]

Otherwise you may need silicon on the stand-offs when building with a softer plate, to prevent the pcb to reach the metal stand-offs

[glacial wind]

With the screw option you can also just do it lightly, in that you don’t need to screw it in the whole way

I think sometimes people get usb alignment issues because they’re screwing in the far right screw all the way, but really you just have to loosely do it and you’re good

btw more fun finds from dominik testing out switches for switch selector

did you know phylina thunderflash are more like 3.1-3.2mm and ur ice ultra are 3.3mm

so both switches are off by .1 to .2 from their listed specs

[sturdy rock]

Kinda crazy such a large tolerance

[glacial wind]

it's why when people ask us to just give a manual option to set switch specs we have to explain it won't work

too many manufacturers have specs that aren't same as their listed specs lol

[fallen pecan]

fully lit up (not mine)

gt60 lite vs gt60 ultra

[chilly mural]

one thing I can say, it got split space. Other than that, this is too much RGB maxxing

[glacial wind]

i assume it's the traditional split sizing instead of wooting's version?

[chilly mural]

iirc, it's same length on both

[glacial wind]

oh they went for that version

i love that they don't even list the full layout on their english page

[pliant tinsel]

Do you put the foam in, in the holy60? Because i see some people leaving it out and some putting it in

[rough hedge]

Its personal preference. Test it out and see which sounds best to you

[lucid juniper]

yeah try it with and without and see which you like better, there’s a bottom cover for the case too(have to buy separately)

[pliant tinsel]

Thanks guys for lmk, i wish i could try it out Dont got one yet but do you guys recommend getting the original one? Cuz recently i see alot of people using knockoffs

[lucid juniper]

The original is on sale for a bit cheaper right now on kbdfans

[pliant tinsel]

I actually saw, but shipping hurts lot💔 20 euros

[lucid juniper]

I bought one just before the sale, I don’t know if it’s the best sounding but I like the look, but there’s probably cheaper options, and stuff you can buy locally with cheaper shipping too, your money and your choice

[pliant tinsel]

Yea the look of it is actually pretty nice, but thanks for your opinion, appreciate it!

uwu v2, now 3x as big

[languid pine]

noticed something in the faq, says you need 2 normal sets of knight stabs for the v2 split but that only applies to the ansi split layout

[fallen pecan]

ye you need 6 2u wires for the stabs (iso split only needs 5), 1 set only has 4

[oak jewel]

cant wait for my collab to release

[peak breach]

If tenz is getting a collab it better not be for the 60

[fallen pecan]

tenz wants a split 60 too

Poor fonz. People not respecting his influence

[silent sparrow]

hey guys, i'm still new to the modding stuff so forgive my ignorance here but does anyone know of any 60he compatible cases that are closer to 8 or even 9 degree typing angle? I found the compatibility list on wooting's site but everything listed there is standard or lower profile than i'd like or it's no longer available. the options were limited. are there more compatible cases out there that I'm not aware of? pref something not 3d printed

[little glen]

usually a lower angle is more ergonomic (combined with lower front height) so most manufacturers have started making those more nowadays

[paper bloom]

If u ask me

A 2 degree to 7 degree is just nice ergo even with a wrist rest

Ever since i went from a 2 to a 7 for the holy ive never looked back switches also play a role for my wrists due to the weight and pressure so it depends ig

[silent sparrow]

for sure. i actually love typing on my wooting currently. just installed new ws flux switches and they are a dream. but i'm a gamer and would prefer a little more lift on the back end so there in lies my conundrum

[languid pine]

knight v4s have 5, i brought 2 kits anyways just in case but i can now use the second kit on my 80he

[digital urchin]

how well does this fit the 60 v2?

[sacred elm]

Only tray mount. Leggera isn't friction fit compatible.

[digital urchin]

did see some notes about that- would be the T mount

still a toss up between this and the holy60 for me

[sacred elm]

You’ll need the Leggera (T), swap the preinstalled friction fit pad for the poron sandwich pad, and then screw the module into the case.

[frail hemlock]

Wilbatech salvation or wooting alumaze has 7.5° angle. I don't know anything available higher than these

[errant whale]

Any good recomendation for thocky hall effect switches?

[sacred elm]

There's no thocky HE switch. You can listen to sound tests here and see what you like the most: https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

[untold wigeon]

Is there any measurements for 80he cases?

[chrome mural]

Does holy 60 case anodized purple go hard guys ?

[sacred elm]

Dimensions? on the product page

[tropic urchin]

Your best bet is to create a thocky environment to the best of your abilities (better dampening foam, plastic plate (PP, PC, POM etc), thick PBT keycaps/Cerakeys) and get a switch that you like

About as close as you’ll get

[lyric nimbus]

cerakeys are really fucking good to get a thock

here's a sound test of my 2he with the following

• cerakeys v2
• owlabs ti he
• poron sandwich foam

this is w/o cerakeys

do note that keyboard sounds aren't just the job of the switches @errant whale

they're a sum of the components

[solar tundra]

How heavy do the Springs got to be for Cerakeys?

[chrome mural]

Guys can i buy the holy 60 case on aliexpress ?

[trail bane]

70+ for big keys to reduce keycap weight

[lyric nimbus]

50g works fine

[trail bane]

Only big keys are requiring heavier springs

[lyric nimbus]

the spacebar is the only real problem but they provide a free switch that's 55g

[flat cobalt]

@sacred elm wow

https://novelkeys.com/products/neson-norytek-70?

[timber crystal]

Anyone else has this problem that it’s friction fitted and u can see switches and it’s pissing me off

[languid pine]

remove the rubber feet on the module

[timber crystal]

the solution was to remove foam

its to thick

[languid pine]

or that works

[lyric nimbus]

yall think there's any like

anti-theft measures i can throw in my 2he

[austere creek]

might need to cut the foam thinner fi the case is lower yeah

[tropic urchin]

By being 100% it’s already anti theft

[lyric nimbus]

[peak breach]

Yeah you can keep it

[last blaze]

anyone know what companies have parts for the TWOHE

always wanted to change up my keyboard but wasnt sure if anything was compatible

[lyric nimbus]

unfortunately not

you have to get one custom-made

however, the switches/keycaps are obviously compatible

you can get like

a foam sandwich though

[last blaze]

where would i get something like that done?

[last blaze]

never seen this before, im really new to modding kb and am unsure what changing this does

does it allow for compatibility of keycaps?

[lyric nimbus]

you'd need to design one from scratch

which i plan on doing

gonna make a CAD model and then send it off to somewhere likr JLC3DP to get it CNC milled out of polycarbonate

and that's a foam dampening mod

[austere bronze]

Bought Flux Deep Clackies from two different sources. Noticed that the version with the QR code on the housing has a heavier spring weight😮‍💨

[sacred elm]

Version with the QR code? that's new

[austere bronze]

They also sound a bit different

QR code one have deeper sound

[sacred elm]

Where did you get it?

[gusty latch]

I got myself some new Switches, Keycaps and a 60HE v2 alu case to upgrade my 60he v1 with. Now I noticed, that per default my v1 doesn't have the friction fit mounting. Is there a way to add that? Right now, I just have the pcb laying inside the case and theres a wobble of the entire pcb when using the switches on the edges >.<

[sacred elm]

Yes, order friction fit pad from Wooting

[austere bronze]

QR code one from aliexpress. Another one Amazon

[tawdry tree]

which store? 👀

(on ali)

[tawdry tree]

is the 60HE v2 alu case available separately?

[sacred elm]

Yes

[gusty latch]

it is

[tawdry tree]

wow

didn’t know

i guess ill just have to order again :/

itll be finee

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJucHo8 @tropic urchin

I asked em half a year ago for springs

they finally did it

[tropic urchin]

woah woah woah

[tawdry tree]

idk why they have an option for lubricated springs

sounds like a mess ngl

pre baglubed springs??

[tropic urchin]

wait so is 35g the bottom out?

[sacred elm]

Oh, so they're just selling spring swapped Fluxies?

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[tropic urchin]

god damnit

I will F5 that site though

until 45g gets added or even 40g

[gusty latch]

is there anything I could do rightnow to fix that temporarily?

[sacred elm]

Wait, @proven wadi 35g Flux compatible springs dropped for you

[tropic urchin]

I was thinking that guy would be very pleased

but now hes gonna have to bribe his kid to get them back

[sacred elm]

I don't think so, case doesn't have standoffs. Have to order the friction fit pad from Wooting and wait, unfortunately.

[tropic urchin]

@tawdry tree how they going to do 28g and 35g springs but no 45g ;_;

[sacred elm]

Yeah, 35g is too light lol. I'd buy 45

[tropic urchin]

Long spring fluxies dream almost here

what a time to be alive

[sacred elm]

QR code is weird

[tropic urchin]

leave the shitty designs to gateron pls aliexpress

skibidi triple ahh rail QR code

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin

[rough hedge]

Are you able to scan the qr code?

[robust siren]

im ordering the blue one

its anodized and cheaper than the one gateron sells

[tropic urchin]

Looks about as split as your space bar, I like the blue

hopefully it doesnt make you cry like their deskpad tho

[robust siren]

im also getting 2 switches

[tawdry tree]

maybe someday (I’ll ask them again)

[robust siren]

which one

[austere bronze]

No luck

[tropic urchin]

"Hello dear, I would like to report a breaking and entering of my wallet"

[robust siren]

im getting these koi switches and ur ice ultras

apparently these are like duhuks

[tawdry tree]

I’m fairly certain this is something switheskeys added and not K2 (Flux factory)

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine i can make rawhuks with these

actually i dont have a switch opener

well time to get one of those

[tawdry tree]

Herz, yeah.

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin how much is a 100% set of yikb stabs

[sacred elm]

@tawdry tree are you sure it's the bottom out force and not initial? can you ask them

[robust siren]

google wont load rn

[tawdry tree]

I think I asked them before, lemme check

[rough hedge]

Kinda weird to do that. Especially they would need to make a special rig to do that on thousands of them

[robust siren]

these are cheaper than the herz so i might as well get em to try out

[tropic urchin]

idk

most stabs are like $15 ish

[robust siren]

i should also finally get geon stem spacers

and i dont have to pay $10 shipping on a 50c item

[tawdry tree]

Old chats get deleted on Ali apparently, but I’m 95% sure it’s bottom out. I’ll ask again tho

[robust siren]

the 100% kit is $20 on taobao

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, but considering they spring swapped them as well, I’m guessing they just order the parts and assemble them themselves.

[tawdry tree]

I don’t think the Herz had the fiber infused bottom housing tho, but not sure

[sacred elm]

Maybe it's 28/40 and 35/50 but 22mm length

[tropic urchin]

@tawdry tree try asking them if the 28g is initial or bottom out

[austere bronze]

Both list as 35/50 I believe

[robust siren]

looks like its only pa66

no where did it say it said it had the fiber infused bottom

[tawdry tree]

Done did dear

[tawdry tree]

They felt and sounded different right?

[austere bronze]

Not sure if the mic can capture the difference

[robust siren]

but maybe its cause im slow and i cant read chinese while being in china as a chinese person

[tropic urchin]

The marbly church shall remember your contributions to the cause

[robust siren]

the struggle of chinese characters looking like noodles thrown at a wall

[tawdry tree]

It might be because if they did change the springs, they used different (amounts of) lube.

[robust siren]

wait this would be japanese cause its more rounded

[sacred elm]

Yeah, probably different factory lube. If they ordered parts only

[paper bison]

Can't tell which is which ngl

[robust siren]

i wonder how much suffering ill put myself through getting yikb stabs

[tawdry tree]

They list bottom force for all their other listings so don’t get your hopes up

[paper bison]

wym suffering

[robust siren]

they got that weird bend at the end

[paper bison]

i still haven't lubed and assembled mine ngl

they seem pretty easy

[robust siren]

you got a 100% set?

[paper bison]

yeah

[robust siren]

how much was it

[paper bison]

got them from kbdfans

$17

[robust siren]

$3 more on taobao

[paper bison]

[robust siren]

tb shipping is based off weight? i think

[austere bronze]

Probably. I randomly pick 10 of each for a blind test, and I get 9 out of 10 right.

[robust siren]

how much was it after shipping

[paper bison]

I got a bunch of other stuff shipped from KBD in the same order, like a Holy60, Spacebar set, brush, etc

[robust siren]

oh

[paper bison]

Shipping them alone is like an extra $7 to the UK

[paper bison]

Which do you prefer, out of interest?

[tropic urchin]

who the fuck is buying 28/35g switches tho to not have a 45g ;_;

[trail bane]

I’m fixed it kinda

Finally…

[tawdry tree]

lighter = better like RGB = more performance

[tawdry tree]

Kinda? but good enough?

[trail bane]

Ye

[tawdry tree]

What did you do?

[rough hedge]

28g spring 0.1mm actuation. Just thinking about pressing the switch will trigger it, telekinesis keeb

[sacred elm]

Ah yes, my favorite 28g bottom out springs

[trail bane]

Those silicone diffusers under the spacebar, I put them in as additional PCB support

In practice, the issue with uneven flex and the PCB hitting the bottom didn’t go away, but it’s less noticeable now

[tawdry tree]

https://tenor.com/view/gif-gif-9403556598434283568

how’s the plate btw?

if you’ve used it yet

On this topic, apparently it’s easy to test whether the claim of fiber infused is actually true.

[tawdry tree]

Do a couple by hand and see if it’s worth it to you :)

[robust siren]

time to slice up my switches for fun

[paper bison]

I've already lubed the housing and stem, might bag lube the springs for mega overkill

[trail bane]

Pretty cool. I did have to do a bit of tinkering with the edges since they were sharp at first, but overall it fit like a glove

[frail hemlock]

Has anyone managed to reposition the usb port to fit more cases?

[tawdry tree]

sharp as in you almost lost your fingers, or sharp as in it scratches the case? 🫣

[tawdry tree]

you mean on the 60HE?

I don’t think that’s been attempted more than once 😂

[frail hemlock]

Yes, primarily

[elder yacht]

guys i bought a lube kit from wooting and i got the ws flux switches is it worth lubing the ws switches?

even though they are prelubed

[paper bison]

hand lubing is gonna be better than factory lube if done properly

[elder yacht]

should i wipe off the factory and hand lube then?

[rough hedge]

Honestly, DCF is the only switch so far that ive tried that actually would be perfectly fine without hand lubing

[desert creek]

Hey, I am kinda new to HE keebs but am fairly educated in regard to mechanical boards, I am curious if anyone has tried switch pads on an HE keeb?

Just curious if anyone that has tried it has noticed any issues with the very slight movement that the switches would have even with the plate supporting them which might cause a little inaccuracy with the hall effect sensors?

The attached image show the "pads" that I am referring to

[lyric aspen]

Hey guys, is the frog leggera oring case compatible? i saw it had a centered usb and daughterboard

[uneven cradle]

It is not only the leggera T is compatible

[lyric nimbus]

im not 100% sure and someone correct me if im wrong but i think these do fuck up HE switches

mainly because MX switches are digital and doesn't give a shit about these kinds of pads

but HE is analog so i think they're more sensitive

i haven't personally tried it but someone can correct me if i'm wrong

[lyric aspen]

even if i remove the usb port on the wooting, it wont fit? hmm

[trail bane]

Case

[robust siren]

you cant remove it

[lyric nimbus]

btw

im considering getting a uhh

new cable for my 2he

mainly because of color scheme

[lyric aspen]

i guess so, thats why a lot of HE boards have a pet electrostatic plastic right before the PCB

[lyric nimbus]

any thoughts?

[trail bane]

Fingers I lost yesterday while sending the pcb

[lyric nimbus]

i need a cable that fits with my

uber thockinator 2he

[robust siren]

i need more moss to buy while im in china

already got 2 switches, stabilizers, stem spacers, another aluminum case

[lyric aspen]

dont forget to leave a budget for Steamed Dumplings

chat

do yall have any cable recs for my 2HE

mainly for the color scheme

[robust siren]

i use cablemod pro but its just black

[lyric nimbus]

how thick are they

[lyric aspen]

what colour is your 2he friend?

[lyric nimbus]

#1455646054589665445

[robust siren]

pretty thick

[lyric nimbus]

yeah no cant use em

[robust siren]

are those the glossy caps?

[lyric nimbus]

yes

glossy cerakeys

the matte ones have problems with their stems

[robust siren]

i need more photos of the matte ones

[robust siren]

they use different stems?

[lyric nimbus]

yes

[robust siren]

i thought it was just a finish difference

[lyric nimbus]

they were trying to fix the

consistency issues in the stems with v3

[slender scarab]

i was thinking on getting them but honestly ima prolly get them down the line

same wit stabilizers im pretty sure the stock ones are alright but

[robust siren]

i was always iffy on ceramic keycaps

if they make one for split spacebar ill consider it

but outside of that, not really

[slender scarab]

i jus like the sound they produce

[slender scarab]

but yea this is true i forgot i got split spacebar

[drowsy prairie]

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post, but...
After installing the Wooting V2 module on my frog mini leggera T, I can't get it off at all 🥲
I'm scared that if I force it, I'll break it.

[lyric aspen]

are you using the tool? did you screw it once for grounding?

[rough hedge]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message
This says that case is only tray mount compatible. Did you stuff the friction fit into that case?

[drowsy prairie]

I inserted the module without needing to screw it in.
It's in a silicone sandwich state.
I slowly inserted it and it fit, but now it won't come back out.🥺

You could say it was forced, I suppose. But I pushed it in slowly. Even though it felt a bit tight.

[rough hedge]

Well, you will have to slowly and carefully pull it out using the tool

[drowsy prairie]

The plate part gets severely warped, but it seems there's no choice but to take it slow and be careful...

Yeah please don’t friction fit into a leggera case

It’s not compatible and too tight

[drowsy prairie]

Thanks. Quoting the past logs really helped me out. I'll try it slowly to avoid any damage.

[lyric aspen]

Any white cases for the v2 that doent have the strap on lip?

[robust siren]

gt-60

its removable

uhh, tofu60 redux

frog mini leggera (tray mount)

[queen otter]

I mean the Ultras should work even if it's not double LEDs

[fallen pecan]

i meant the ultra pcb just added extra LEDs

[lyric aspen]

Would this https://keebsforall.com/products/freebird60-case-only?variant=40272334684318

Friction fit fine?

on the V2

[drowsy prairie]

I just consulted about how I couldn't get the friction pad out after putting it into the frog mini leggera (tray mount).

If you're screwing it in, GH-60 should be fine, I think.

Loving this keyboard 🔥

[glacial wind]

Excellent cable choice

[robust siren]

hey sno, lets say i want to return something, its within the 30days when i send the request

but i wont be in the country until the 30 days is over, can i still return it

[glacial wind]

I guess depends how long it would take for you to actually do the return once it’s approved. Although honestly you guys are borderline pushing it already with that wootstation thread lol

[tall hollow]

Ooop

[fluid ravine]

dayummmm

bro might be cooked

[robust siren]

i mean if i cant its fine

[glacial wind]

Like I get you guys excited about rakka etc which is cool, but it’s a bit weird to start posting entire non Wooting setups in the Wooting setup section then discuss returning wootings lol

[robust siren]

i think ill end up buying it in the states either way

[glacial wind]

We usually let thockson ones slide because he’s just showing off his build, but you guys need some awareness of where you’re at lol

[fluid ravine]

[desert creek]

Thanks for the thoughts <3, sorry for the late response I was at the beach most of the day ❤️

[fluid ravine]

hehe dont mind me just waiting on switches that catch my attention for my special ooting

[robust siren]

ill keep my wooting and eat the $220 tag on the bakka

[fluid ravine]

get your moni up not your funni up

bakka

[robust siren]

ive already dropped so much i might as well

[tall hollow]

Bakka

[robust siren]

for the price and mods i can have 2 keyboards

[fluid ravine]

still need that nipple case

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine wooting 6.25u split spacebar and bakka 7u split spacebar

[fallen pecan]

oof $100 premium on that $128 bakka

[desert creek]

The switch pads are like $10 in my currency so I guess I will just give it a shot anyway! Not to sure how exactly I will test it but I am sure I will notice if it really interrupts performance. My thought was that they either impeded performance or manufacturers do not find that it makes a notable difference in sound to warrant the extra step in production.

[robust siren]

the main issue is that i dont live in china

[fluid ravine]

might as well collect all the HE PCB in the world

[robust siren]

i cant warranty it if i have issues or its rather annoying

[fluid ravine]

[ionic breach]

not with that 1.5k icebreaker he

[robust siren]

next up is benon

[fluid ravine]

fr4 plate on benom not doing my justice with the spacebar sadge

[fluid ravine]

oh you dont hav benom?

[robust siren]

no

[fallen pecan]

nah also get the gateron gt60ultra

[fluid ravine]

oh hek na

[fallen pecan]

split space and all that

[robust siren]

its made by gateron so no

[fluid ravine]

d1 gateron haters we have here

bateron

baderon?

[robust siren]

im buying yikb stabs

ill slap those on bakka if i get it

[fluid ravine]

da goat

im running like 3 stabs on my ooting

knights, yikb, and ooting's

[robust siren]

and geon stem spacers
i can finally buy a 50c item without paying $15 shipping

[fluid ravine]

gotta run dem options

[robust siren]

[fluid ravine]

lmao

where u buying from

[robust siren]

taobao

stabs and spacers cost a bit more but it doesnt really measure to if i bought it if i were in the states

[fluid ravine]

time to switch orings and plate

yay..

[robust siren]

lightwork

[tall hollow]

Just 3D print them for 3 cents Smhsmhsmh

[fluid ravine]

i might switch to oring mount in my neo65 as well

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine what plate do i get for bakka if i do

cf?

[fluid ravine]

cf

[robust siren]

7u?

[fluid ravine]

hell yh

[robust siren]

or 7u split

[fluid ravine]

well i mean dont it support both

[robust siren]

i wonder if 7u split works with 7u nob dplit

[fluid ravine]

or are you meaning to choose

[robust siren]

the plate

[fluid ravine]

ohh

[robust siren]

idk where to get universal plate

for bakka

ik it exists ive seen it before

i dont know where to buy one

[tall hollow]

Look on superbuy?

Or 1688

Or heck even JD

[robust siren]

can you send me links, chYna vpn kinda slow

it cant even load websites

[tall hollow]

Like, to specific listings or the storefronts themselves?

Also you should be able to just well access it without a vpn

These are Chinese websites after all

[robust siren]

i dont have a chinese browser

[tall hollow]

Just download baidu man, it takes like 5 seconds

Don't be ashamed to use it, everyone in China uses it

[frail hemlock]

Which one do you prefer? Secretly all of them planned to be placed in the right spots?

[tulip rapids]

rakka ?

is this a new he keyboard rivaling wooting ?

[fluid ravine]

well i've mostly used knights and yikb in 3 of my boards so i like those 2 and well i can obviously recommend them to everybody else.

[tall hollow]

Yes they make HE keyboards

[tulip rapids]

I see i see

[fluid ravine]

but i must recommend knights since they used the normal molds that everyone is quite use to while yikb mold design is different

[tulip rapids]

new company or they been around?

[tall hollow]

Not sure tbh

[robust siren]

longest 5 seconds ever

[tulip rapids]

okok ty

[tall hollow]

Lmao

[frail hemlock]

Yeah, they surely got better. But the stabs from the og 60he are trash lol

[ionic breach]

for a few years

but before hall effect, idk

[queen otter]

are there 1.25u arrow keys keycaps or nah

im asking on behalf of a friend

feel free to tag me

[ionic breach]

could yuzukeycaps it

[tawdry tree]

The corners? Honestly, you should sand the entire case too, it’s close to being raw alu already 😭😭

[tawdry tree]

Included universal is FR4, if you want a diff material there are many custom shops on tb. Pretty cheap too

[robust siren]

who’s rabbit0

[fallen pecan]

japanese store with huge markups

[robust siren]

is keybay a good store

[tawdry tree]

I think so

$180 is good cause there’s no hassle

like with tb

[robust siren]

for some reason the no switches and with switches are the same price

[tawdry tree]

Then $180 is prob with switches, hopefullly

[fallen pecan]

with switches is like 50 more

prolly a bug with the 7u

[tawdry tree]

ah yeah

223 with switch

[robust siren]

if its 180 with switches then in ok

~60 for the the recolored fluxes

add to my collection

[tawdry tree]

Buy it and see what happens lmao

but it should be 223 with switches

and they’re just a regular flux recolor btw

with slightly adjusted magnet strength for optimal performance

[robust siren]

do yk if it’s the v1 or v2

and whats the difference

[tawdry tree]

wym?

[robust siren]

on TB, theres a v2

and i dont think i saw a v1

[tawdry tree]

ah, nah they mean the Atlas

RAKKA has older boards (the H60 and H64)

but the atlas isn’t called v2

just atlas

[robust siren]

ok

[cloud crane]

bakka atlas

[tawdry tree]

takka

I loved that shortfilm

called rakka

https://tenor.com/view/oatsstudios-rakka-gif-23849933

same director that did district 9 and chappie

🐐

[cosmic dune]

yo, i just received the optimum case, do i need to add the friction silicone thing ?

[queen otter]

yuzukeycaps?

whats that

[ionic breach]

https://yuzukeycaps.com/

they do custom legends sizes and colours

i think minimum amount of keys is 10?

[queen otter]

ok

[robust siren]

ill order in a few

[sacred elm]

Do you have v2 module

[robust siren]

i still gotta decide if it’s what i wanna get

[cosmic dune]

nope it's the basic 60HE

[sacred elm]

Then yes, swap the 60HE sandwich pad with that silicone friction fit pad https://youtu.be/NvMwijZU-L0

[robust siren]

would i HAVE to get plate mount stabs? if so whats good

[robust siren]

no is with both spacebar sizes

[fallen pecan]

on keybay right?

[robust siren]

it’s all 186 no matter how you configure it

[robust siren]

yeah

oh wait

nvm

[robust siren]

my internets kinda slow

it didnt load properly

okay yeah i got the 7u with switches in the cart

ill check out in a few

[tawdry tree]

No, but which layout do you wanna use?

[tawdry tree]

Likely will get canceled haha

[robust siren]

7u

well technically it uses any layout but im buying it in 7u

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, then you could even leave it stock. It comes with plate mount stabs included

and a 7u, and a universal plate

[fallen pecan]

the package includes a pcb mount plate

but the default stabs are for plate

[tawdry tree]

The main PCB supports every layout but the LED PCB does not (meaning for some layout options you’ll have to take the LED PCB off).

[robust siren]

ahhh

okok

[robust siren]

do yk if 7u spacebar rgb supports 7u split?

im assuming it won’t?

i dont see any options to get separate rgb pcbs

[tawdry tree]

Nah

sadly not

the split version is better as it supports both 7u and split 7u but it vendors don’t seem to understand this

[fallen pecan]

these 2 are locked in when you order

[tawdry tree]

What you could do if you really wanted to try split space with RGB, ordering a custom plate from hype that supports split space with plate mounts (as the conflict between the LED PCB and stabs is only for PCB mounts).

I know it’s complicated but I hope it makes sense

[robust siren]

im not bothered at all with no rgb for split

tbh

having rgb for 7u is cool tho

[tawdry tree]

ye

[robust siren]

surely it wont take more than 10 minutes swapping it on and off

[cosmic dune]

so in the end you don't have any screws holding it ?

[tawdry tree]

it’s just like taking a plate off but from the back

[cosmic dune]

just placed inside ?

[sacred elm]

Screws aren't needed

Just assemble the module with friction fit pad and slide it in the case

[cosmic dune]

and job done ?

cool

thanks a lot for the help, i'm a beginner

[robust siren]

if wooting doesnt let me return im 100% fine with it and understand

that being said

[robust siren]

i will always recommend wooting as the keyboard to get i love my switchy derpy

[tawdry tree]

the v2?

if it’s still within time it should be fine

[robust siren]

yeah

[robust siren]

no the main issue is that im not in the country till refund/return period is over

[tawdry tree]

ah

if it’s like the EU, then you have a month after requesting it

[robust siren]

US

[tawdry tree]

Ik but it might be the same for the US

surely

[robust siren]

yeah

tbh i dont mind if its not allowed

[robust siren]

late by a whole 2 weeks

which is a bit extreme imo

[tawdry tree]

as long as you request the return within the timeframe, it should be fine I think

[candid bramble]

hey about to build a 80he and i kinda want to ask if using a alu plate on a HE keyboard is fine?

i am a bit worry about it affecting how the pcb work

kinda want to comfirm is ok before i cut the plate

[sacred elm]

If the plate is compatible with the 80HE, yes, it's fine

[robust siren]

iirc return countdown is the day you receive it right?

i do feel really bad doing this but i love wooting and sold 1 to a friend and got 2 more friends to join the wooting family

[frail hemlock]

Does anyone have a black fjell laying around unused somewhere?

[robust siren]

no posting in #1070668460905988106 tho

[candid bramble]

wait fjell fits?

fuck i am so split on getting a 60 or a 80 now

[robust siren]

[frail hemlock]

yeah, wooting fits in it, not even need to tray mount, friction fit also works

antipode studio sells the mechanisk cases, but there's no more black. maybe i'll just sand down the coating from another and re-anodize it...

[candid bramble]

Dude I might legit get the 60 he

Cuz I have both the salvation and fjell collecting dust

I built it in like covid time and forgot about it

[robust siren]

@tawdry tree what are some good plate mount stabs

[frail hemlock]

Salvation should beeven better with it's balanced floating on the springs

[candid bramble]

will see when i get back to my home place

and i will just fit it in to both case and see

or i will just get both the 80 and 60

i just have to cut a plate for it

dont like the stock pc plate

i also hope that in 2026 people can find a way to run a plateless config on HE

that would be hella nice

[trail bane]

Yo, now I’m scared especially since it’s about me, but nobody actually mentioned me

[tawdry tree]

Yeah. No reason to feel bad, it’s not treason lmao. It’s something you pay for.

[tawdry tree]

neraly 😭

[robust siren]

alyout

[tawdry tree]

It comes with plate mounts. Have you seen the unboxing/guide? https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1QgC1BsErv?p=1

[robust siren]

nope

[trail bane]

Nahh what did I do

[robust siren]

i bought it

only cause of a pricing mistake

[candid bramble]

i mean if u dont like the stock one u can always go txap......

or some genuine cherry

not too sure if the plate mounted one is good but ik some people love cherry stab

[tawdry tree]

Should have a corner of your 80he visible next time smh

[candid bramble]

before ordering anything i want to ask if there is things i should worry about HE keyboard?

this is like the first time building a HE board

[tawdry tree]

only if you have a magnetic desk

[candid bramble]

cuz i build a handful of mx style keyboard just not too sure if the build is going to be the same as HE

[sacred elm]

Avoid using IXPE foam on top of the PCB, switch pads, thock pads and some other bs

[tawdry tree]

thock pads 😭

[candid bramble]

oml switch pad in the big 2026

[cinder spruce]

Has anyone had a crooked shift key before? My shift met was never straight but I didn’t mind it because there was no issues but now my keycaps hit each other sometimes and it’s really annoying would anyone know how to fix it ?

[sacred elm]

Thock film sorry 😭

[candid bramble]

is frankenstein'ing HE switches still popular?

[sacred elm]

No, not really

[candid bramble]

cuz i read something about people getting the lekker bottom and raptor top and forming a frankenstein switch

back in like 2023 or 2024

not too sure

[tawdry tree]

outdated now

it was never really popular, just a few people that did it

it was good when we had nothing else tho

[candid bramble]

wait then i am guessing HE switches are built the same as mx style?

just not the bottom duh

but i can l+f it right?

[tawdry tree]

without the contacts, yeah basically

[glacial wind]

it's fine. We give a bit of leeway for people just excited to share builds and such, especially if they're active people in discord who are nice folks. Just that you guys probably shouldn't have a whole discussion there about returning wootings lol

[trail bane]

Ayo

[candid bramble]

got it

[candid bramble]

think thats all i need to know

for now....

[glacial wind]

like lots of us enjoy other boards. Even i think what rakka has done with the stacked pcb thing is neat, even if it's not mainstream applicable due to engineering and scaling issues with larger customer bases. Just that maybe wootstations isn't the ideal spot to be discussing competitor boards

[trail bane]

So basically, I was trying to warn those ignoramuses

[tawdry tree]

both the benom and bakka equally “compete” if you can even call it that

[trail bane]

Then should I delete it?

[tawdry tree]

and benom was fine so I don’t really see the point

[glacial wind]

yeah venom is still a great board. I don't think performance wise we'll see any real useful jumps in any boards whether it be from rakka or others

there's not really much to 'jump' to

[trail bane]

I don’t want to be a bad guy while having "Wooting #1 Fanboy" in my profile

[tawdry tree]

compete with woot’s market I mean

woot doesn’t appeal to the same people and the same is true vise versa

[glacial wind]

oh yeah woots market is never going to compete with venom and rakka, they're too far removed

[tawdry tree]

so I don’t really see a point, as long as the people have a woot

should be fine imo

[glacial wind]

like i can barely get friends buying wooting to understand which options to select in wootings config checkout, much less wrapping their head around a venom build

[glacial wind]

point of what? i'm not sure what we're discussing here

[tawdry tree]

if it was someone with a melgeek board or something posting, then I get it

[glacial wind]

oh you mean his post?

[candid bramble]

wait important question

can the venom burger mount

[tawdry tree]

your point about his post, yeah

[tawdry tree]

any GH60 can burger mount

[glacial wind]

well it's more that wooting discord doesn't exist to promote competitors, which is what the wootstations spot is for - promoting of wooting builds

[tawdry tree]

not really a good mounting option tho imo

[tawdry tree]

yes, and that’d be a point if the same applied to the venom yk

that’s what I mean

if a is fine then b should be too

[glacial wind]

yeah it does apply though

[candid bramble]

wait not burger

is it o ring

[tawdry tree]

gummy? yeah

[candid bramble]

oh shit

[tawdry tree]

oring/gummy, yeah venom can

[candid bramble]

i might be picking up 3 pcb then

[tawdry tree]

what’s different?

[glacial wind]

if you read what i said originally we gave some leeway to venom posts from thockson because he was a nice guy who was just excited to show a build, even though if we're strict we'd just delete all non wooting builds

but yes, if we wanted to be strict venom builds aren't allowed there either

[tawdry tree]

you’re saying lander isn’t a nice guy? 😭😭

[tawdry tree]

yeah

[glacial wind]

nah i'm saying what gets discussed in the thread is kind of passing a line

[candid bramble]

wait is snap tap just

null bind?

[glacial wind]

as in we'd probably extend the same leeway to lander for just an excited build post, but i'd advise not to discuss how to return wooting keyboards etc inside the post as that's a bit much

[tawdry tree]

@robust siren your fault

[trail bane]

https://tenor.com/view/dead-i'm-dead-lol-laughing-lmao-gif-7585881974681125832

[robust siren]

sorry

[glacial wind]

i get that folks hang out here cause it's much more active overall and there's more fresh influx of folks to discuss modding, so it's fine for some leeway to exist, just have to keep awareness that it's still a wooting discord

[trail bane]

Nevermind I’m already deleted the post. Sorry

[glacial wind]

it's all good, was never about you anyway

don't want to come off harsh since i get it, new builds are fun and we're the most active place to share builds

i will say though thockson has missed out on some perks due to not owning a wooting previously lol

[robust siren]

ttc released new plate mount stabs that have 0 rattle

if they're too pricey designer studio stabs are nice too

[glacial wind]

yeah kind of a hard sell for most modders who have their screw ins they like already too, but i guess it's useful for the cheaper HE boards that are still plate mount

[fallen pecan]

they’re working on it

and it’s all bottom out

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-thanos-gif-22758261

[trail bane]

Basically

With PCB you get 2 FR4 plates: one reinstalled with a fixed layout and platemount stabilizers, and the other supports all layouts and PCB mount stabs

[robust siren]

does the included universal plate work with pcb screw-in stabs?

[tawdry tree]

no yes*

watch the guide dear

[trail bane]

Yes

[tawdry tree]

🙏

[robust siren]

fahh

ill trust the person with the bakka in hand

[fallen pecan]

you need to swap the stock plate out with the other one they include in the pack

[tawdry tree]

universal is PCB mounts

preassembled plate is plate mounts

[robust siren]

then ill buy yikbs

[sacred elm]

thank you for translation dear friend

[robust siren]

i did tho i skimmed through it

it looks like a lot of stuff

[tawdry tree]

haven’t tried the ones for the fluxies, but the ones for gat are fine

[robust siren]

a bit overwhelming

[tawdry tree]

you could just tune the plate mounts and leave it at that 😂

[tropic urchin]

If they’re better than those dog shit dual stage aliexpress springs I got one time then that’s great

[tawdry tree]

those were by switheskeys too 😭

Just fuck plate mount stabs

[tropic urchin]

Oh no

I’m cooked aren’t I

[robust siren]

@trail bane what length stabs are needed for the 7u split spacebar

[trail bane]

3u

[robust siren]

is that the same as right shift?

[trail bane]

No

[robust siren]

its entirely different

[trail bane]

Completely different

[candid bramble]

isnt it just a 2 enter key with 1 u key in the middle?

[robust siren]

what stab set have 3u wires bro

its 3u-1u-3u

[candid bramble]

think tx sell a 3u set

[robust siren]

i dont think enter is 3u

[sacred elm]

I will let you test them out, dear.

But I think with 22mm springs, spring ping will be more noticeable

[candid bramble]

but not plate mount

[sacred elm]

I don't know if I want that

[candid bramble]

dude idk man

[tawdry tree]

nah, the normal extended ones were fine really. I assume it’ll be the same for the fluxies

[robust siren]

i have a spacebar kit already for my wooting 60he v2

[candid bramble]

i am like

[robust siren]

i think it has 3u keys

[candid bramble]

tippy

i do not know anymore

i only have build like split spacebar like 2 time

[trail bane]

I’m obviously not an expert, but the Atlas kit comes with 3u wires, and in theory you can use those with stabs like Knight V4 as well, right?

[tawdry tree]

yours came with 3u wires?

[trail bane]

Yeah

[robust siren]

oh thats cool

[tawdry tree]

oh that’s sick

they updated that then

wasn’t the case before

[trail bane]

Full set of Plate mount stabs

[tropic urchin]

Mine came with 4 it’s pretty nice

[robust siren]

im assuming those dont work in yikb stab housing then?

[tawdry tree]

nah

it’s regular stab wires

[robust siren]

[tawdry tree]

sw knights dear

should work

[robust siren]

does sw sell knights for 100% keebs

or do i need 2 sets

ffs

[trail bane]

Yibk have weird kinda wires

[tawdry tree]

you’d only need a 100% set with specific layout options

[languid pine]

i put knights on both my boards yesterday, you only need 2 kits if your layout is ansi split

if you use split backspace and split shift, then you can just get a TKL set

and you can use the wires from the atlas stabs as well

[trail bane]

That’s nice

[robust siren]

intereste

[robust siren]

oh yeah can you dm me a video of the software

[trail bane]

Sure

[orchid mortar]

does anybody know about these switches and whether theyre good

[tropic urchin]

You can hear their sound test on the Wooting mod site if you’re interested

[orchid mortar]

will do 🙏

[glacial wind]

so after all the testing i think almost none of the switches match specs given it seems lol

travel distance is just a random number they throw out I guess

[cyan lark]

Vibe specs

[sacred elm]

What's the travel distance of Fluxies

[tropic urchin]

3.48158929595209485

[calm pulsar]

damn, too bad I prefer 3.48158929595209487

[glacial wind]

not sure about flux, but i know the c1 are 3.4 not 3.3

[tropic urchin]

This is bear from a Russian cartoon erasure

[glacial wind]

we just decided we'll build the magnetic readings based on the actual reading, but not update the text on the switch itself otherwise we're going to be having to deal with everyone constantly asking why our written number doesn't match what <random company> says

so we'll put their listed spec distance, but use the correct one for our model

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

General chat is now exploding at the thought

Then you’ll have that one random guy in 5 years asking why neo lavenders aren’t listed accurately and everyone is going to be like wtf are you talking about

[sacred elm]

[cyan lark]

All that matters is what ChatGPT says tho

[tropic urchin]

We’ve moved onto grok and deepseek for the hard hitting questions

how many of the gold screws i will need to use and where when i want to put 60he v2 module into the case

[glacial wind]

none

wait lemme grab the photo i have of the grounding screws

cause it's not exactly the 4 corner tray mounts that are grounded

hrm can't find the photo right now, but basically loosely screw in one of those top 2 purple mounting screws

ah here it is

so basically any of those 4 can be loosely screwed in to ground your pcb, but just drop in the friction fit them very loosely screw in one of those

so it's any of them except the screw in points located on far right and far left

[gleaming crane]

How do I transfer my profiles from 60he to 60he v2

[cyan lark]

In the "My Profiles" section, you can export a profile w/ the 3 dots ("Share"), and just above is the Import Profile button

[sand path]

anyone know if the freebird60 would work with the v2?

[foggy rivet]

okay so if i understand it right i put only 1 on the top right or left loosely screw it and after i put in the module and screw the screws of that i got from the module

[sacred elm]

No

You put the module in the case first, then screw in the screw in the top right

that's it

[foggy rivet]

so i dont need those gold screws from the case right ?

[sacred elm]

No, sno already told you

You don't need those

[foggy rivet]

oh okay im starting to get it so i only need 1 screw to put in together

[glacial wind]

Yes, it’s just friction fit but one screw is done loosely for electrical grounding

[foggy rivet]

got it

but i can put those silicon rings in the case nothing will happen right ?

[sacred elm]

You also don't need those, v2 module has built in silicone standoffs

[foggy rivet]

thank you for help im very new to keyboard building

[rough hedge]

UFOs are now number 1 pick narrowly beating out DCF. I prefer the cleaner sound of the UFOs, especially on the upstroke. DCF still wins on off-center presses smoothness, it stays on non-stabilized >1u keys

[pliant tinsel]

Does someone know if i need to install the friction pad when i get the optimum case ? I got 60he plus. And what would be the benefits of installing a friction pad?

[sacred elm]

Ahem, didn't I answer you already

[pliant tinsel]

Oh sup 😭 Yeah, i just wanted to make sure again since im prob gonna order it now, just got me confused bcs at the end of the friciton pad install video it says at the bottom something with "you dont need the bag of screws, This is only for people who want to screw in their module " got me kinda confused

[sacred elm]

Yes, you don't need those screws, because the module is friction fitted.

[pliant tinsel]

Wait so basically short, do i have to install the friction pad or is it optional ? Sorry for asking so much, just wanna make sure haha

[sacred elm]

It's optional, but I don't see a reason why you wouldn't use it. It helps with the sound and feel.

[pliant tinsel]

OH REALLY ?

Didnt know that

Thank you tho for helping me out AGAIN Really appreciate it

[thin geyser]

How do i screw in my 60he v2 in the v2 case theres no holes for the screw, i use poron foam

Im so confused

Youre supposed to screw in 1 screw right

[glacial wind]

no

your v2 is good to go

the 1 screw is only for ungrounded cases

v2, optimum both grounded

[thin geyser]

but its still a little loose

[glacial wind]

that's normal, unless it's loose enough that it's falling out

[sacred elm]

Just follow Optimum case build video, it's very easy to build. Basically, you need to swap the stock module sandwich pad with the friction fit pad that comes with the Optimum case, put the foam in the case, then slide the module in until the USB port lines up. After that, install the switches and keycaps.

[glacial wind]

by poron foam i assume you mean the poron case bottom foam?

you didn't swap your middle foam into the poron foam did you

[thin geyser]

yh the case bottom foam

[glacial wind]

yeah then you're good to go.

you're done
