https://torontokeyboardman.ca/products/spark-spilt-dual-8k-gaming-cable i found this very interesting, anyone know of something similar from EU webshops?

[proven wadi]

shouldnt be a problem to order from Canada tho?

[polar girder]

I’ve never seen anything like that before in my life tbh

[humble surge]

I've seen it on a few pictures with modded keyboards, but had no clue what are they, i just found it for the first time now.
Wouldn't even know what to search for in china.

[robust siren]

im so confused man

with switches

since ive sent that picture he hasnt responded
he usually responds pretty quick

[stoic ocean]

wich one

[robust siren]

theyre essentially ws flux recolors

but not the deep clacky ones

[stoic ocean]

they are good

actually

[robust siren]

ill compare it when i get home along with 2 other switches i got

in like 3 weeks

https://tenor.com/view/jimmy-butler-jimmy-butler-paper-confused-gif-14478007832172093541

[stoic ocean]

and i am waiting for the gehirn

more 11d

[robust siren]

@tawdry tree @trail bane

[trail bane]

Huh?

[robust siren]

whoops

[robust siren]

new image

[trail bane]

Looks like he’s don’t understand what you’re trying to ask

[tawdry tree]

He might be slow ngl

[robust siren]

bro

[tawdry tree]

You sent the picture of the LED PCBs?

[robust siren]

yes

this one

[tawdry tree]

and this is his response?

[robust siren]

yes

[tawdry tree]

fantastic

[trail bane]

[tawdry tree]

Is it shipped already?

[robust siren]

yeah

[tawdry tree]

great

[stoic ocean]

so u wi;; get ur self a gehirn or not

[tawdry tree]

[robust siren]

tho usps doesnt have an update from the 2nd

[tawdry tree]

Very unlikely but I can’t say for sure yet.

[trail bane]

Fr

[robust siren]

can i just claim i didnt get what i ordered

[tawdry tree]

Tell hik that you wanted 7U with a 7U LED PCB so that you can use 7U with LEDs.

Maybe then he’ll understand.

[tawdry tree]

Of course, cause that’d be true.

[robust siren]

i dont think he’ll understand cause rakka boss said its all the same

[tawdry tree]

Never say never. ;)

[trail bane]

I’m personally looking for tofu 3.0, gehirn60 or Neo60cu

[tawdry tree]

[trail bane]

Top mount gang

[stoic ocean]

same but vella instead of neo

[robust siren]

FAHHH WAIT IDK IF RAKKA WORKS IN GT60

i forgor

[trail bane]

It should?

[tawdry tree]

These are winnshop (or something on tb) cables.

[tawdry tree]

Depends how much room a GT-60 has.

But probably.

[robust siren]

but all sales are final sales, would that technically qualify for a return

[robust siren]

isnt the pcb like a weird shape

im afraid it just dodges all the gaskets

[tawdry tree]

If you buy 7U and he sends you 6.25U without asking simply because he doesn’t understand what he’s selling, then yeah.

💀

[tawdry tree]

The LED PCB is, the main PCB not really.

[robust siren]

but i wont be home till a while after it delivers

[tawdry tree]

but PCB sizes aren’t standard either way, so it might work or might not.

[tawdry tree]

$223 for an unreturnable PCB inna layout you won’t use holyyy

[robust siren]

@trail bane gasket locations

what a bad photo

[tawdry tree]

You had a side pic right

[tawdry tree]

of the PCB laying in the bottom case

[trail bane]

[robust siren]

well its nearly touching the bottom

but it isnt

[tawdry tree]

Yeah, that’s what I remember. The Atlas with LED PCB on might be too thick.

[robust siren]

with the v2 bumpons it does

[tawdry tree]

That’s not too bad, can it close like this?

[robust siren]

yeah

[tawdry tree]

Oh nice

[robust siren]

the top case doesnt come into contact with the plate anyways

[tawdry tree]

Then will work I think.

[trail bane]

It should works

[thorn zealot]

fellas for gmk redline should i go for the gray or black case color

[trail bane]

Or just fuck LED PCB

[robust siren]

well thats cause im not using the dedicated plate for the case

[robust siren]

but muh gaymer lights

[trail bane]

All i need is single led under capslock, that’s it

[robust siren]

that too

[tawdry tree]

Who the fuck uses capslock

[robust siren]

i accidentally press it sometimes

tho now that you say that i should rebind it

[tawdry tree]

Fn is most common I think

[robust siren]

fn on caps???

[tawdry tree]

Yeah

[robust siren]

[trail bane]

Oooh I have an idea

[tawdry tree]

https://tenor.com/view/sunnyfication-gif-20299408

[robust siren]

wait then how thick is the pcb without rgb

[tawdry tree]

Normal 1.6 iirc

but with the USB-C port, it’s a bit thicker than that

[robust siren]

how screw in stabs work then

[tawdry tree]

USB-C PCB + screws

[robust siren]

with rgb

[tawdry tree]

Wym?

It has holes

[robust siren]

oh wait

nvm im dumb as fuck

[trail bane]

Cuz on atlas u can bind a "Toggle "" layer"

[tawdry tree]

The LED PCB has holes, so you just screw screws ins into the main PCB

[robust siren]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[tawdry tree]

https://tenor.com/view/wonder-chef-cooking-gif-19095203

[robust siren]

well as long as the universal top plate doesnt have any weird things poking out it should fit in gt60

tho it might be a little taller

BUT if that doesnt work i do have the holy60 clone

[tawdry tree]

[fluid ravine]

You do?? When da hail

[vale mica]

I’ve officially gone and prefer the holy60 case for my wooting 60he 1.0 . May I ask if it’s just a simple as unscrewing the wooting from its original case and screwing it into the new one

[fickle sinew]

hi guys, does anyone know if the new wooting he v2 pcb ( friction only thing ) works with the Tofu60 Redux Case from kbdfans or does it have to be tray mounted?

[inland flicker]

does anyone know if lekker tikkens have interference with GMK keycaps?

[rough hedge]

Friction fit works

[rough hedge]

What do you mean interference? Gmk keycaps are typically standard mx style

[inland flicker]

the keycap hitting the switch when pressed down. this is a common issue with full travel switches and cherry profile keycaps, especially gmk

i'll find an example

https://youtu.be/rObV9teMm2s?t=98

interference makes keys sound and feel much worse, which is why i'm asking

[little glen]

No

Also not a common issue nowadays

[uneven cradle]

All HE switches I'm aware have redesigned top housings to prevent the issue happening

[dawn spear]

whats ur favorite switch for the 80he

[inland flicker]

thanks 👍

[cosmic egret]

if i get the v2 module what switches would u guys recommend? or likker tikken

might swap for module for faster shipping

[little glen]

From what is available on the wooting store rn, tikken

[sly oxide]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1144382094009716820/1163915116929101984/togif.gif

if me and my gang pull up

[cosmic egret]

should i get the holy60 case for the v2 insteadof the stock case

[mental salmon]

I got Tikkens and TIs, for now using the Tikkens, but I put everything together today

[fluid ravine]

the choice is yours

[robust siren]

crunchson

[lyric nimbus]

hm

are there any other upgrades i can do to the 2HE atp

without having to CAD now

[glass dragon]

Aesthetically pleasing cable, poron base desk pad, more lube, expensive screws, keyboard case, more lube

[lyric nimbus]

mm

do you have any cable recs

[fluid ravine]

yea?

[robust siren]

[fluid ravine]

cronch

[robust siren]

i ordered some mods

[glass dragon]

Wooting has some (Only the white, black, and lavendar really seem pleasant imo)
https://wooting.io/product/detachable-cable?Color=Lavender+Purple

I got this translucent cable tho
https://wiredinstore.com/products/x-ray-cable?srsltid=AfmBOortRxrRa4GoBbcfpBUAhqTOAkbY52e8WQ1FWMawFkhc0VIJUcDe

[uneven cradle]

This isn't compatible with the Two HE btw @lyric nimbus

[lyric nimbus]

i am fully aware

i need to design a custom case anyways

now the question is

what to make it out of.

[young viper]

Solid silver

[viral iron]

any anodized aluminum orange case recommendations for he60 v2 pcb?

[glacial wind]

isn't it just tofu60 redux? I'm not sure how many orange cases are out there besides it

[tawny trellis]

Excuse me, can someone tell me how to pull this out? Oh my God, I can't pull it out

[glacial wind]

you need to use a switch puller

i hope you're not trying to pull them out via hand

[tawny trellis]

@glacial wind I tried, but it didn't work.

[glacial wind]

tried with a switch puller? or your hands

[tawny trellis]

puller,I'm sure

[glacial wind]

grab top and bottom with the prongs on whatever switch puller you use, then grip and pull. Some people find it helpful to give it a wiggle top to bottom if you're not using a good metal puller

use other hand to hold keyboard down too if you're not already doing that

i've seen some people try to pull with just the puller and nothing securing keyboard down lol

[rough hedge]

Included switch puller is landfill fodder. Getter any other switch puller with metal hands

[wary creek]

Hi, excuse the total noob question. I purchased a 80HE plastic version a while back. I’d like to upgrade to the zinc alloy, do I need anything else in addition to the case?

[rough hedge]

You don't need anything else other than a screwdriver

[wary creek]

Thank you

Now the hard part, deciding on which color lol

[fallow imp]

just copped a wooting how long did it take to come in the mail

[sturdy rock]

It gives and estimate

When ur order or on the wooting hub

[viral iron]

Another noob question sorry, do we know what polling rate 60HE+ module supports? I know it is at least 1000Hz but I am not sure if there have been any software/firmware upgrades.

[sturdy rock]

It’s still 1k

I’m pretty sure

[fallow imp]

i see it now thxs

[lyric lava]

Can wooting be customised with thirdparty stuff? Like keys and etc idk

im new here so idk much about modding

[viral iron]

switches and keys and case yes. GH60 compatible cases should fit HE60 modules. Switches need to be Hall Effect switches and keycaps, yes ofcourse, choose your poison.

[wary creek]

Is the black zinc alloy v2 now? Or is it still having coating issues?

[lyric lava]

Doesnt the modding affect the keyboard's performance?

[sturdy rock]

I mean not really it just down to preference and feel

[viral iron]

what kind of performace are you talking about ? Well, it will affect the sound depending on how you mod it but the performance comes from the board and how you tweak the software.

[lyric lava]

i meant like

idk how to explain

what i meant is that

does modding affect keyboard's practical performance?

not the software cuz obviously it doenst get affected

[viral iron]

no.

[lyric lava]

ok

yipee

[sturdy rock]

No it just afffects sound and feel

[lyric lava]

:>

[viral iron]

you can throw in some switch that are clicky/ thocky/ linear bla bla to change the overall typing experience but the performance comes from the board itself.

also the keycaps have different profiles like height and shape. If you want to get more creative, you can even mod/change the factory stablizers to your liking and perhaps add more foam/tape to the case but at the end of the day, it wont affect the performance at all.

Unless of course you start fiddling around with the firmware and what not

[wary creek]

Are lekker tikkens the go to switches right now ?

[sturdy rock]

Wdym by go to there are so many after market switches

[sturdy rock]

In terms of lekkar tikkens they are better than the v2

[wary creek]

Currently using the GEON Raw HE. Just wondering if these are better/an upgrade?

[sturdy rock]

Honestly i think depends on preference really

Altho i do hear good stuff abt geon raw he

Lekkar tikkens compared to v2 just sounds better and has better tolerances

[slim jay]

For the Wooting 60he+ do I need to unscrew the 5 screws and then lift the plate?

My jades just got here today finally get to try them

Nvm yeah that was it

Do I need to unscrew anything else to take the switches out

[jade narwhal]

it would be easier to pull out switch if u split the plate and pcb

[robust siren]

i would consider tikkens an upgrade over raws but a lot aftermarket are better than tikkens

[wary creek]

Which ones? I’m looking into switches rn

[robust siren]

technically yes

[robust siren]

my personal favorite atm are ws flux deep clacky (cheap on aliexpress)

there are others like gravastar ufo, ur ice ultra/extreme, and mmd c1

the ufo switches have a really “tight” feel to them according to some people

ice ultra/extreme and mmd c1 are really cheap but good for their price

[wary creek]

going to look into those tonight, ty

[slim jay]

Ty it was much easier that way was hesitant to unscrew too much incase I mess it up now I just have to clean keycaps and I’m done with everything

[viral iron]

https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f

Found this on the official website, I am planning to get HEv2 module. Anyone here has experience with the v2 module ? I am guessing the formfactor is the same has HE+ or 60HE module and it should fit regardless. Since they include tray mount screws as well.

[glacial wind]

that one is a bit out of date, there's a newer one because we have to worry about friction fit compatibility now

https://library.wooting.io/248eb391798480d7a016e27c591cf94f?v=248eb391798481df8b1f000c3aa064f5

less cases on it, but it's actually tested for friction fit

generally tray mount if a case fits 60he+ it fits 60he v2 as well (for tray mount)

[glass dragon]

Surprised at the stability of stock stabs (less overall key wobble than staebies, more loose stem in housing compared to staebies), but they are leagues better than oem chinese board stabs that look like they fell over inside their housings

Only real difference is the top-out sound (which I assume is the wire hitting the housing)

Mod notes:
First test - Stock stab (fully lubed stem+housing, minimal lube added to wire)
Second test - Staebies (fully lubed)

[untold wigeon]

Does anyone know if the box-walled stems in HE switches are the most stable design available right now? I've seen rounded, circle shaped stems, but not sure which ones would provide the most stable, less wiggly travel

I've been considering Gateron Jade Pro Gaming since they are pretty tested and have that square stem design, but I'd love to hear from you guys too

[glacial wind]

generally walled of some sort is a bit more stabler at bottom out in particular yes, but the design of the walls varies a lot

some round stems are very stable, some not as stable as a box one etc.

it's not like a hard and fast rule

round is popular these days because it gives fairly good stability while the stem doesn't have that annoying 'wiggle and you feel the walls' feel as much

[glass dragon]

I’d assume circle stems that are in contact with the keycap circle stem walls would be most stable, but don’t know how tolerance affects that

[untold wigeon]

Appreciate the help, all I've heard lately is people saying Gravastar UFOs are the tighter/rougher ones for the time being, but not sure if it's what I'm looking for. Will do some more research

I've used a Model M for the past 12 years so

[glacial wind]

UFO are basically extreme end of tolerances from what I can tell using it

[untold wigeon]

Not sure any current HE switch can compare?

[glacial wind]

so it's very stable, but stable to the point of 'vice like feel'

so it's give and take. Do you want it that stable and don't mind the feel? Then it'll be great for you. If you don't want that 'vice' feel, then it'll be bad

[untold wigeon]

I might have to give them a go then. I've had a lot of mistypes and accidental presses going from ALPS to the Lekkers in this 60HE

[untold wigeon]

I'll order them

[glacial wind]

honestly i'd generally go a more middle ground option first

unless you just have a lot of money to spend and don't mind if you don't like them in the end

[untold wigeon]

Is there a 65-70g HE switch out there?

[glacial wind]

i'd wager half the people who use it probably hate it

none. No one makes heavy he switches

[untold wigeon]

these are .80$ a switch

[glacial wind]

although there's maybe like durock which has their special one for ceramic keycaps, but it's not a particularly great switch

[untold wigeon]

basically the same as Jade Pros

[untold wigeon]

Damn i'm out of luck then

[glacial wind]

https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

[untold wigeon]

I remember back in the forum boards days there was a switch tester going around sent from user to user

[glacial wind]

have a look at the popular stable options there

there are soundtests too

[untold wigeon]

Appreciate it one again sno, thanks a ton

[glacial wind]

just remember that stability rating doesn't = smooth feel

[untold wigeon]

Understood

[glacial wind]

otherwise all the stable switches would be rated just as best switch for example lol

[untold wigeon]

hahaha I get that, thanks for the heads up

[glacial wind]

if you click the names of the switches there's extra notes on some of them

[sacred elm]

something something flux deep clack

[untold wigeon]

What does "Magnet in switch has much weaker magnetic flux than typical HE switches" mean in Jade Ultras for example

Incompatibility issues with 60HEs I guess

As in harder to determine the height

[glacial wind]

just means you need switch selector to use them properly

because the magnet is weaker overall than what we use in most keyboards

[untold wigeon]

I see

[glacial wind]

so you need the switch selector to make adjustments

if you have to switch selector it's fine though (i just don't know what keyboard you're using)

[untold wigeon]

60HE stock

[glacial wind]

old old one?

[untold wigeon]

Lekker v1s or 1.5s

[sacred elm]

Is it ARM or AVR

[glacial wind]

when did you buy I guess would help narrow it down if you don't know

[untold wigeon]

my keyboard was ordered on Dec 2024

[glacial wind]

oh yeah you're fine then

[untold wigeon]

SKU is WK3-US2-L60-102

[glacial wind]

you can run the switch selector beta firmware already in #📰│wootility_updates

[untold wigeon]

Not fond of the current switches, they wobble a lot and don't sound particularly good lol haha

I like the stock case though

[sacred elm]

You might not like Jade Ultras though, the top wobble is bad if you care about it

[untold wigeon]

Would these fix that?

[sacred elm]

That switch isn't good

[untold wigeon]

They sound like Jade Pros

[glacial wind]

aren't those just jade gaming?

[sacred elm]

They don't

[untold wigeon]

Got it

[untold wigeon]

Yeah, different stem than Ultras but just as bad from what shafie says

[glacial wind]

they're just an old switch. They'll be more stable than jade pros, but it's kind of a 'why would anyone buy these when there's 1984374 newer and better switches' situation

[untold wigeon]

Yeah I'm starting to get it going through the Switch and Soundtest Database lol

[glacial wind]

if you want something similar stability to those then buy wuque deep clacky switches

they'll be basically those but feel nicer and sound nicer

[sacred elm]

You'll like Flux, it has great stability, feel and sound. You said you like heavier switches so the only problem is that they have 50g bottom out force and you can't spring swap them due to unique spring diameter.

[untold wigeon]

Only switches I've used in my life are 1990s Buckling-springs from the Model M and the Lekkers and those have nothing in common lol

[paper bloom]

Flux is a banger

[untold wigeon]

Let me check those in the database

[paper bloom]

I'll give you a 100% bet you'll cop the DC flux's

Rather than just the normal flux unless you dont want a deeper sound profile

Then the normal flux is the way to go

[untold wigeon]

So I'm looking it up there is Flux (clacky) DC Flux (deep clack) WS Flux (?)

How many switches are released on a monthly basis lol

[sacred elm]

Flux deep clacky, the pink one, yes

[paper bloom]

Taken from an iphone ^

Dont mind the spacebar its just the clink since im too lazy to work on it

[untold wigeon]

Are the DC Fluxes the best I can get in big 2026?

I don't care about the price I just want to buy once

[paper bloom]

Lowk the DC Flux's are bangers to me

Its better than the geon raptors V2 HE in terms of it since theres an RNG of spring crunching and you won't know it after a certain X amount of time

[untold wigeon]

Last time I used a keyboard I kept it for 12 years

[paper bloom]

Wobble wise its better than the lekkers

[untold wigeon]

I'm trying to use this one for 12 years too

[paper bloom]

It'll work

[untold wigeon]

Got it

[paper bloom]

But you might want to just check and allat and so on sometimes wear and tear does matter in terms of switches but i digress

[glass dragon]

No magnetic switch will totally feel like buckling springs—you can’t get heavy switches and expect them to feel as good as buckling (you will get fatigued VERY fast), I recommend just getting used to the regular spring weights

[paper bloom]

So long as you give it a good maintenance and don't neglect it youre good to go honestly

[sacred elm]

They are a lot cheaper on AliExpress, don't buy Fluxes directly from Wuque, they're very expensive there

[untold wigeon]

No I already moved on from that keyboard, I'm just aiming for the best build quality / stability

[paper bloom]

Mans got strong fingers dont need to have him suffer on reg or heavy

[untold wigeon]

Not trying to replicate buckling springs or anything in the 60HE

[paper bloom]

Then youre good to go

[paper bloom]

REfer to this btw @untold wigeon

You need the link we can grab it for you

If you want

[humble surge]

If you care i really liked UFOs, currently using them.
Very stable, in my case they have a very nice feel that i have no problem with and also a unique sound that i didn't find too loud.

[untold wigeon]

AE has been my go to hahaha I used to work in mobile repairs/soldering , thanks a ton

I know some retailers charge up the nose for things that can be found quickly and safely in AE

[paper bloom]

Depends on whatcha got but yea dw so much about it

Happy to help

Lowk hope this solves anything but 100% you'll love the DC flux's

So not much of a sweat on that lowk

[untold wigeon]

seeing a few deep clacky Fluxes listed under WS Flux name for some reason

[untold wigeon]

I'm going to order 10 of each to make a decision

[untold wigeon]

The touch and grittyness is something I can only feel in person

[humble surge]

Disregard the prices rn, didn't update them since mid december

usually Powerpuff cheapest across, but check personally

[untold wigeon]

Yup, just did

Do you maintain a pricelist for multiple switches btw @humble surge ?

[humble surge]

Nah, just did it for these, since it's often copy pasted and has this many sellers

[untold wigeon]

Thanks a lot for that, I appreciate it

[humble surge]

Other switches at most have 1-2 places to buy from

Not a bad idea though, maybe after i successfully moved and have time next to work ^^

[untold wigeon]

I was just wondering because I was impressed by the formatting lol, really tidy and well presented

[humble surge]

It was already in the discord for a while, i just added prices.
I did try to make it even better for the eyes, but sadly the bots don't accept some of the formatting changes i did.

[untold wigeon]

Been out of the keyboard game for a while but why do people test switches in a heavily modded keyboard that already modifies the sound signature lol

Saw this one soundtest with a PC case and carbon fiber plate

First time I see someone use a carbon fiber plate in my entire life lol

[glacial wind]

it's mostly because it's a hobby run niche, so people are just showing off switches they got for their own build or collection

[untold wigeon]

I see

[robust siren]

i used to run cf plate and im planning on getting another

[untold wigeon]

I would love testing a different case, maybe PC but I feel like I would end up creating so much waste

[fluid ravine]

Wait till you hear abt copper

[cloud crane]

Wait till you hear about PEI, PP, ABS, Nylon, Titanium, Resin, Stainless Steel

[fluid ravine]

Actually the first time I've heard of PEI

[cloud crane]

It's ultem

[robust siren]

wake me when theres a full weaved carbon fiber case

[fallen pecan]

KTT nebula switch: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=995752184610

[untold wigeon]

hahahaha

keyboard hobbyists would use moonrock if they could

case made out of meteorite

sounds good for being the cheapest HE switch out there

[cloud crane]

Yeah coz he's using them in the omega goated F1-8X keyboard 🗣️ 🔥

[untold wigeon]

I have no clue what that is but I guess it's the equivalent of putting cooking oil into a Ducati

[cloud crane]

Probably

[untold wigeon]

Has someone found decent OEM profile keycaps that don't become shiny after a couple months of use

I like the stock Wooting PBT ones but I might have to use sandpaper on them to bring the grittyness back

Cherry keycaps are just too low

I need Empire State Building height keycaps

[cloud crane]

SA keycaps then

[proven wadi]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010516063169.html

get a few of them, best *he switch i ever tried!

[humble surge]

Thanks for the share!

[humble surge]

I'm considering ceramic for a while now, even checked today for 80HE key sizes again. Might pull the trigger in a few days, but definitely before Chinese New Year.

[jaunty vortex]

Can I put he switches in my k2 pro?

??????

[untold wigeon]

Let me know if you get them, there are almost no OEM good keycaps out there, it's all either Cherry, MT3 or some sort of weird hybrid profile

[glacial wind]

oem pretty rare since cherry is the more often preferred profile

[untold wigeon]

got me feeling like the guy in norman rockwells painting

[cloud crane]

Mtnu also good profile

[untold wigeon]

Using Cherry profile after more than a decade of using Alps feels like when you visit the supermarket and your favorite product has been shrunk once again lol

ill try to find some Tai Hao keycaps

OEM is the closest to ALPS though

[cyan lark]

New tool time

[untold wigeon]

Fire

[jade prairie]

any reason why Row 3 sounds so muted on the 60he v2?

[sacred elm]

Probably because of the foam layer? not sure. Can try removing it

[jade prairie]

if you mean the one between the plate and the pcb then I did remove it already not much of a change

either its the structure of the pcb or the film

[cyan lark]

Or the fact that you're closer to the center of the chamber

[jade prairie]

oh yeah that too

888888

[cyan lark]

6 7

[jade prairie]

didnt mean to send that

ill try if using the foam instead of silicone makes any difference

[sacred elm]

What foam

[jade prairie]

the case foam

[cyan lark]

You're always going to have a different sound towards the center vs towards the edges of a kb. Variance may be more or less depending on the rigidity of the mounting/pcb/plate/etc. Just a warning before you go too nuts 🙂

but by all means tinker away

[jade prairie]

Oh dont worry. I switched the silicone to the foam and it sounds slightly more consistent and its good enough for me

sound profile is deeper now which I dont prefer but you win some you lose some

[proud marsh]

Hey guys, does anyone do custom modding for a price?

[untold wigeon]

Considering the Flux DC and WS Flux are the same price which one should I pick?

Im about to order but not sure if the white ones are a revision or just a whole different version of the switch

[glacial wind]

Deep clack version is much more popular due to sound profile

The original version is the white one but it’s very sharp loud sound that most people didn’t like

[untold wigeon]

I don't recall seeing the white ones on the Notion sound test page but I'll look them up

[robust siren]

normal fluxes are very loud

[untold wigeon]

I see, thanks

[glacial wind]

they’re further down, you can use search box on page to just type flux to find em

[untold wigeon]

Could be my thing lol do they feel any different? I use IEMs so noise is not an issue

[glacial wind]

Theyre basically the loudest sharpest note switches almost

so it’s for people that love high pitched clacky sound as loud as possible

[untold wigeon]

My bad, I completely overlooked the Load more button lol

[glacial wind]

The first version basically flopped because they were extremely expensive at launch and sound profile was highly unpopular

[untold wigeon]

They sound good! I will listen to more sound tests because that high pitch sound is my jam

[glacial wind]

deep clack version is what made them popular due to some things causing price to drop and the sound being much deeper

[untold wigeon]

Understandable

[glacial wind]

if you don’t hate the clacky high pitched noise then they’re same thing as deep clack flux mostly

[robust siren]

i dont think so? i dont have them so im not sure

[glacial wind]

Only thing to note is the regular flux won’t be added to switch selector anytime soon

[untold wigeon]

Will take that into account

[glacial wind]

So if you use regular flux it’ll mean using deep clack option which will be tiny bit less accurate

[untold wigeon]

I see, good lord, I could spend a week reading and hearing different switches and still not make my mind up lol

Not a single mech keyboard shop around which is a shame because this is the sort of thing you gotta feel in person too haha

[chilly mural]

you can get 4 of each switch from the same store and sample it

[glacial wind]

I wonder if ttc sent those horse switches yet. I’m excited to check em out

[untold wigeon]

That was my idea at first but seeing the cart rack up to what a 60 piece would cost makes me want to gamble haha

[chilly mural]

try to listen more on the sound test and get like 4 switch that you like the most, then order 4 of each and see which one you like more in person.

[untold wigeon]

So far I got Lucifer HE, DC Flux, Magnetos and Raptor V2s

I was surprised to hear some of the budget switches sound so good

Can't trust a single soundtest since every microphone setup, case, keycaps and audio editing way is different too, so I'm going around listening to 4+

[glacial wind]

Lucifer none of us here will recommend honestly

They’re extremely wobbly

[untold wigeon]

It looks extremely cheap just off photos

Like poorly made

[glacial wind]

They are, they’re basically one of the cheapest switches ever made

And also among the worst wobble stability of any switches I’ve tested in the entire database

[untold wigeon]

Damn

Someone sent this https://youtu.be/WG3ezK6Ot00 but I guess the whole setup is doing all the heavy lifting lol

As in, the switch is trash but the rest is S tier gear

[glacial wind]

if you check the database there’s 2 columns, one for top and one for bottom stability. I give rough grades so you can see how they wobble

[humble surge]

I will

[untold wigeon]

Wobbly keycaps is something I despise so they are out of the table then

[glacial wind]

In general never ever compare switches in 2 different sound tests, because you can’t tell if it’s just the switches or the other parts making the sound

Try to stick to sound tests that use the exact same setup, otherwise it makes guessing how it sounds very tricky

[untold wigeon]

Yeah fair enough, I'll just keep going through the database and try to get my 5 favorites

Thanks sno!

[glacial wind]

I forgot what I rated the stability exactly on the database but if I recall right they were one of the only C grades I gave

almost everything is b or better nowadays, but lucifer were a c

[untold wigeon]

The raptor v2 seems to be the best sound wise for me alongside the Gravastar UFOs, they also have S/S on stability, is there any tighter switch or is that the best one stability wise? (that makes noise/non silent)

I'm surprised they achieved that with a traditional + shaped stem

[glacial wind]

UFO are best overall stability on the whole list basically

[untold wigeon]

Forget it lol they have a .de website

I'll grab them ASAP

[humble surge]

Sadly i dont have a working PC right now due to moving, but on TaoBao they were down to 650 CNY or so. Cant grab link for you 😞

[untold wigeon]

So long since I have used agents lol back then shipping was almost nothing

It's all good I can get them for 1.27€ a switch which is not bad

[humble surge]

I got my set from there, but it dropped a good 40% in price since.

[untold wigeon]

How long ago was that?

I'm not sure if i'm correct but apparently they released late October of 2025 so not that long ago

Such a hit considering they haven't pumped out 10 different similar switches a la Gateron haha

[humble surge]

Start of november, got them end of november.

[robust siren]

dont forget triangle gateron switch

[untold wigeon]

What? lmao

Gateron just be putting out anything

[sturdy rock]

lol jade deltas idk i thought they be to loud for my liking

[humble surge]

Actually yeah, all things considered i was positively surprised, i basically gambled with them instead of getting 3 other switches i wanted for a rather high price, but they turned out great.

[untold wigeon]

Here we go

Lekker wobble was driving me crazy

[humble surge]

From v2s its gonna be night and day

[untold wigeon]

They are v1s or 1.5 lol I think

Not sure if you can ID them

But they move a ton

[humble surge]

I dont know of those are better or worse sadly, my 80HE came with 60 v2s

[untold wigeon]

Initially I was planning to lube them but then everyone told me they were just a piece of garbage and to not bother

Did you lube your UFOs? I think they sound great stock but what do I know

[humble surge]

I would only lube something thats already good, as to potentially fine tune the experience a bit. But many of these new switches really dont need any lubing.

I did not no, i dont have a kit for that operation, but i also don't feel the need.

[untold wigeon]

Stock it is then haha

[glacial wind]

They are not lubable fyi

Well technically they are if you are willing to use a screwdriver and a lot of force to pry them open

But not recommend as it would both take an extremely long time and your hands will hurt. They’re not designed to be opened and lubed as they’re a custom design

[rough hedge]

Using 2 switch puller to open ufo makes it easier. Still more tedious than standard switches

Timestamp https://youtu.be/ebX-Gx0OG0s?si=ZshJTXraEw5rpr0K&t=985

[untold wigeon]

Yeah I won't bother to even try then, thanks again sno!

[proven wadi]

ufos Operation Force: 40±10gf, heeeeelllll nooo way to heavy :p

[untold wigeon]

There are barely any heavy HE switches

[proven wadi]

tcc flip kings Initial force: 35±5gf

[untold wigeon]

I would like to try some 80 or 100g switches

Just to see how they feel

[proven wadi]

all these 45+ are awful imo

[glacial wind]

Ttc flip are quite improved over the older ttc, but I do feel like a lot of it is just that they lubed them lol

Vs old ttc are unlubed

[humble surge]

Dropped them in a barrel of lube?

[glacial wind]

Horses are still my hope for a new interesting switch but time will tell

[cloud crane]

When duhuk new switch release 😔

[glacial wind]

If gateron could stop making their sparks/ultra so short travel that would be interesting too

3.2 is a bit too short for me preference

[humble surge]

When my new place is sorted i can start ordering and looking into more. For now the Keyspire switches are arriving Tuesday.

[proven wadi]

hehe ye them horse might be fun 😉

[glacial wind]

Oh right I should order some of those, although I don’t hold much faith in them since they’re just polar pro split stem design but new material

[untold wigeon]

Buddy gave me this for Christmas 2024 when I got my keyboard, I guess I could use it in 2037 when I get a new keyboard lmao

[humble surge]

They just fancy, but they were on sale so i said yolo, so i can just try myself

[proven wadi]

i absolutly hated the " WS Flux HE Switch Deep Clacky" Bottom Out Force: 50士7gf they sounded good tho, but to play on...öhh,..

[lyric nimbus]

any more mods i can pull

before the case swap

[untold wigeon]

Copped these in the end at 1.16€ a switch

[paper bloom]

That works

Its nice

[untold wigeon]

Sounds really close to Raptor v2s and DC's but apparently is more stable

Can't wait to try them

[paper bloom]

It is

[untold wigeon]

What should I do with the Lekkers lmao

Build a numpad for fun or something maybe

[lyric nimbus]

switches from the svalbard seed vault

[untold wigeon]

hahahaha real one for recognizing that place

[rough hedge]

I don't think any HE numpad exists. So my have to engineer one yourself

[untold wigeon]

I'll just smash them with a hammer then

[lyric nimbus]

i need to engineer a case

[calm pulsar]

@glacial wind bet you're getting increased activity on roguecraft channel since tbc prepatch is soon
I'm getting this in my feed hehe

[untold wigeon]

Any thing you guys would do aside from cleaning now that I'm pulling out all switches? I've heard people swear by the tape mod but not sure how that improves the sounds on a HE board

[trail bane]

brotha ewww

[untold wigeon]

sponsored review type shit

[trail bane]

lowkey

[untold wigeon]

shameless hahaha

"just send me whatever and i'll speak highly of it" type shit

it seems like everyone is doing that these days though. long gone are the days of smaller channels just speaking facts and doing videos for fun, seems like the current trend is just promoting whatever they get sent to keep for free

[jade prairie]

hot take but PBTFans>GMK

[untold wigeon]

you ain't wrong

[tall hollow]

oop

[cloud crane]

No one sent him the latest and greatest he switches sooo he just uses what he got sent previously lol 💀

[crisp raven]

several channels doing this across the tech space lol

its very annoying

and when they actually review something they may bash it instead

crazy stuff

[lusty river]

just seen your message now, alright thank you!! 🙏

[untold wigeon]

i hate it when you can tell by the way they just read off the script/guidelines provided just like a robot

like fine sell out but at least try to not make it dead obvious lol

[crisp raven]

we are losing the space bit by bit it feels like

[elder yacht]

guys how do i hand lube my ws flux switches when they are factory lube should i wipe off the factory lube and then handlube?

[trail bane]

nah, just put some lube on stem rails and if you have gpl105 use it to bag lube the springs

[jaunty scarab]

Peripheral reviewing is so dead

Has been for a while

[elder yacht]

Ok tysm

[cosmic egret]

with the holy60 case u cant put foam or silicone in it right

[cyan lark]

Not sure if you can fit it or not, don't have it, but I imagine its efficacy would be minimal at best given y'know... the holes

[lucid juniper]

I don’t know if the stock casefoam from wooting fits, but there is some included foam, and you can get a bottom cover for the case too

[cosmic egret]

im stuck between getting a tofu60 redux or holy60 dupe

[undone stratus]

Holy60 is fire and tofu 60 redux is fire aswell I can’t choose either

[river shore]

anybody tried the new TTC Flip King/TTC Flip KOM?

from their offiical (but scuffed) sound tests, seems to have more thocc than TTC elf kings HMMMM

[candid bramble]

hey i just got my wooting 80HE

if i am changing the switches out do i have to do anything at the software?

[fluid ravine]

flip king is basically ttc pom but a less sharp more muted sound

-sno

[storm hound]

Hello i have the wooting 60he+ i wanted to know if i buy the 60V2 module and i put the module into the 60HE+ will i get 8000HZ polling rate ?

[fluid ravine]

Not how it works

60HE+ and V2 PCBA hardware is the difference of providing that 8k polling

Well your question is kind of a bit off with how it works, but if you do order the 60HE v2 PCBA you will get the 8k polling rate

[solar tundra]

If you buy the Module and switch it with ur old Module you will have 8k Polling Rate yes

[storm hound]

Ok thanks for the answer guys !

[rough hedge]

Just tested the flips next to elf kings. Flips are definitely much lower pitched and muted than elf kings. Elf kings do not even sound close to thocky. I never got the hype around elf kings

[river shore]

dang bet gonna get the flips then

[glacial wind]

Yeah people keep asking me to release a UI pack lol

[glacial wind]

Yep elf kings kind of suck. They’re quite wobbly for a later gen switch and sound isn’t any better than many of the older gen stuff

[robust siren]

@trail bane @tawdry tree finally got the delivery date for bakka

i wont be able to see what it is until i actually get home

[fluid ravine]

baaakaaaa

[calm pulsar]

not very split pilled of you

[robust siren]

it has a universal plate

i can 7u split it

[calm pulsar]

7u split is a bit ugley tho
but symmetrical

[fluid ravine]

and here's where i say
~~FRICK YOUR OPINION ~~

[calm pulsar]

alr bud

that's fair

[tulip rapids]

you guys see the tofu 3.0 cases?

[fluid ravine]

ya

wha abt it laa

[tulip rapids]

what module can fit in it?

or it uses kbfans module

[fluid ravine]

like he module?

Pretty sure only the Tofu60 3.0 HE PCB will only work with it

i forgot the name/type of daughtboard they use in it but im positive its not compatible with any HE module other than the one they provide

another thing is mounting

[cloud crane]

Yeah unfortunately kbdfans likes their proprietary daughterboards 😔

[fluid ravine]

it uses a PCB Gasket mount and the classic top mount

[calm pulsar]

this is fire

[fluid ravine]

honestly yeah its clean icl

typical tofu behaviour

lul

@tulip rapids

damnit what's this stupid daughterboard called

[cloud crane]

Proprietary

🤮

[fluid ravine]

i remember the neo65/60cu has this daughterboard as well

and core ver

pogo pin connectors or wtv

[ionic breach]

ye

its kinda ball catch is to screws

its usually easier to use

[cloud crane]

Easy to use but parts are harder to find 😔

[ionic breach]

i do like it tho

purely for aesthetics you cannot see

[fluid ravine]

@polar girder switched to WS Fluxes in my wooting v2
decided that i didnt like the muted sound profile that i made out of the 4mm fraken switch

There's 4 random mystery switches i just made a sound test of on the same keys
i need a random opinions on what people think sounds meh or best

2 of them are frakensteined switches and 2 are normal stock

[tulip rapids]

honestly need more cases for wooting modules man

[fluid ravine]

i just need a 60he v2 split plate file or smth

[tulip rapids]

ima get friction pad and OP case for the 60he+

since gt80 case on back order

[cloud crane]

Gehirn60 🤔

[ionic breach]

iquick listen but like 1st and 2nd

[fluid ravine]

funny cus the last 2 are 4mm

[ionic breach]

3rd feels like 2nd but more dull and 4th is 2nd but more sticky

[fluid ravine]

tikkens and my random 4mm frakensteined switches

3rd are tikkens

and 4th is the other one

second is WS Flux

[ionic breach]

short kings on top

[fluid ravine]

First is a fraken switch

The egg yolk switch heh

RAW Housing with duhuk stem

it came out a lot deeper than i thought

tbh

[ionic breach]

what plate is it on?

[fluid ravine]

fr4

its the v2

so v2 module but no pet film and tape mod

[ionic breach]

i wonder what it would sound like on cf

[fluid ravine]

just friction pad and the poron alpha

oh yea fr

i need a cf plate for this

and new switches asap

[robust siren]

my holy60 clone arrived

im digging this blue

[sturdy rock]

How much was it

[robust siren]

there are some minor imperfections but it was just $40

for a fully anodized aluminum case

[cosmic egret]

im bout to order it but didnt know it came with the strap handle

is it this one https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808812193322.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.0.0.598b4749eiOYvI&mp=1&pdp_npi=6%40dis!USD!USD 64.88!USD 35.52!!USD 31.70!!!%402101eede17675979854821803e4524!12000047917468444!ct!US!6772671596!!1!0!&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

[robust siren]

my clone did, it looks like it’s removable with a screw

[robust siren]

i bought it off taobao

[cosmic egret]

oh ok

[robust siren]

if you zoom in, you can see little nicks but tbh its on the inside so i dont care

[cosmic egret]

lol i saw it without zooming in

as long as the outside is good ur chillin

[robust siren]

from what i can tell, the outer is pretty clean

[cosmic egret]

did ur order ur v2 prebuilt or module

[robust siren]

module

[cosmic egret]

no strap right

[robust siren]

but im planning on putting another pcb in here

[robust siren]

no but i got one of those to match the color

and i have one from my 60he+

[cosmic egret]

damn

ima have no strap sad

[robust siren]

you can find some hella cheap on aliexpress and etsy

[cosmic egret]

true

im on taobao rn and i cant read sht

[cloud crane]

Learn chinese 🤔

Kidding

[robust siren]

lmao i cant either even tho im chinese

[proud marsh]

hey guys, for the holy60 case, is it necessary to use a bottom cover panel?

[cosmic egret]

dont need

@robust siren the one on aliexpress has this for strap buckle

[tulip rapids]

I keep seeing gravastar60 on yt shorts

low-key wanna buy it

[cosmic egret]

its like more minimalistic

is it valid

[robust siren]

you can for slightly improved sound

[robust siren]

i mean sure

i dont have a screw driver rn so i cant really take off the strap hole

but 2 cut perfect lines looks kinda random on the holy60

imo

[proud marsh]

this is what I've bought

[robust siren]

not a bad selection

now im waiting for my other mods

2 switches, a strap that matches case and keycaps, bottom plate for the case

[proud marsh]

just need something else, a good cable - looking for a double headed one as these seem good rn

[robust siren]

double headed? you mean like detachable?

[tulip rapids]

thats tuff

[cosmic egret]

which keycaps look better

going on black holy60

[proud marsh]

yea

[proud marsh]

by tuff, u mean it's good parts or bad?

[robust siren]

depends on the rest of your setup

[robust siren]

im using cablemod pro but tbh wootings doesnt look that bad

[proud marsh]

like this one, idk where to get it from

[cosmic egret]

Bro my setup is black asf

[robust siren]

maybe black and white

is better than random red

[cosmic egret]

Red looks a lil more exotic

nah i have to get red its so hot

[robust siren]

bottom plate arrived

[robust siren]

theres a high quality set called pbtfans crosshair

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine

[fluid ravine]

Hey hey hey look what we got hereee

[robust siren]

wat

[fluid ravine]

[robust siren]

my switches and stabs didnt come yet

sadge

[cosmic egret]

bro that one looks insane

but would run my pockets

[robust siren]

it was 45 bucks total

minus plane tickets

[cosmic egret]

u tell me this after sale ended

i might've gotten those and the real holy60 just to go all out

[maiden storm]

Hi guys, I have a wooting 60he v2 and was thinking about modding it, however I noticed that the switch plate is not compatible with the v2. Anyone that has any alternatives or if it’s just a waiting game at the moment?

[robust siren]

its a clone

from china

[cosmic egret]

the keycaps?

[robust siren]

oh wait

messages didnt load you replied to somethjng

[robust siren]

these are the crosshairs

[sacred elm]

PC plate from Wooting isn't compatible with the v2, yes. Best to wait for new plates on AliExpress.

[cosmic egret]

bro that looks so good

my set up would've looked like this

next sale im copping both the case and keycaps

[robust siren]

here it is in a black case- old build

[cosmic egret]

😭

[frail hemlock]

Holy60 is smexy af, but can it sounds like a good keyboard?

[cosmic egret]

it has holes so prob not best sounding

[robust siren]

you have to try pretty hard

i can record when i get back to the states which isnt anytime soon

[cosmic egret]

@robust siren this or the tofu60

[robust siren]

tofu is a good case, i just bought the kbdfans gt-60 so i sold it

im just getting the holy for fun cause its cheap

[cosmic egret]

the dupe one is cheap

[cosmic egret]

is ur gt60 from kbd

[maiden storm]

Alright, thanks!

[robust siren]

yeah

wallet still crying from that

@fluid ravine should i put the bakka in the gt60 or holy60 clone

[fluid ravine]

Gonna be able to take advantage of the gt60 mounts or nah

[robust siren]

i dunno cause the rgb pcb makes it thicker

[fluid ravine]

Fugg

[robust siren]

and this is the room with the wooting

[fluid ravine]

O u only use the bumpons?

[robust siren]

if the cutouts on the rgb-pcb isnt too severe and the silicone gaskets can still come into contact it shouldnt be an issue

also i just left those on

[fluid ravine]

Ic

I should lowkey go to sleep its 5am

[robust siren]

14 hours ahead of you bub

[fluid ravine]

[robust siren]

uh oh snos here

[chilly mural]

man, really becoming an unc

[fluid ravine]

NOOOO

[robust siren]

i cant see cause it wont load

[fluid ravine]

I'm borned blind I swear

[robust siren]

its time for glasses unc

[glacial wind]

The fonz announcement is today as promised

[fluid ravine]

Whereever that is

[chilly mural]

I can't wait to see the food

[robust siren]

whats the fonz

am i missing something

[fluid ravine]

Was gonna ask

[glacial wind]

Clearly you didn’t watch our end of year livestream

[fluid ravine]

Shit we got caught

[robust siren]

my vpn was loading minutes per frame

i dont think i couldve if i wanted to

[glacial wind]

All fonz things will be revealed later

[fluid ravine]

Oh that stream was at 7am for me 😭

[chilly mural]

Early bird gets the worm

[fluid ravine]

I'm pretty sure I woke up at 3pm that day

[robust siren]

9pm for me

i think i was out eating

[fluid ravine]

[robust siren]

[fluid ravine]

I'm hungry

[robust siren]

big back activities got the best of me in china

[fluid ravine]

It's breakfast time

[fluid ravine]

Lmao

Big for keyboard parts

[jagged ginkgo]

do i just put 1 pcb screw in top right when fitting 60he v2 module in alumaze ?

[chilly mural]

it's fine~ At least you're living near where woot board are born

[robust siren]

i got a new phone case
pretty sweet for 50 cents from taobao

[fluid ravine]

[glacial wind]

Correct. Just loosely do that screw

Doesn’t have to be tight, just want metal on metal contact so your pcb is grounded

[cosmic egret]

bro spends more on his keyboard than his phone that cost 3x more

[robust siren]

print quality isnt half bad but well see later on

[robust siren]

nah my wooting costs more than my phone atp with the mods totaled up

[jagged ginkgo]

and what about the gold part on the left i just screw out the screw that came installed with it and leave it without any screw in it right ?

[glacial wind]

Correct

[cosmic egret]

thats crazy😭

[jagged ginkgo]

thank you🙏

[robust siren]

nahhh

[chilly mural]

it's fine, there's a lot more things that you can spend besides your phone

[lone tide]

salutations

[robust siren]

i couldve gottan a whole new simrig

or at least a wheelbase and pedals

but i use that way less than a keyboard

[chilly mural]

ayy, my line of reasoning to get a high end audio

I may be able to spend $500 on a new desk setup but I listen to music moar.

[robust siren]

i couldve gotten more oleds

BUT i did get 2 entire 60% set of switches for 20$ each

[candid bramble]

dumb question

but question but can i remove the sandwhich pad on the wooting 80

cuz i dont really like how it sounds

like do you need it to close the board

[sacred elm]

You can't mount the module without it, so no.

[candid bramble]

:(

bone 80 allow for a top mount right?

if so i might get the bone 80 to upgrade it next

[sacred elm]

No, it's the same gasket mount

[candid bramble]

at least that what the notion said

https://library.wooting.io/248eb391798480d7a016e27c591cf94f?v=248eb391798481df8b1f000c3aa064f5

this one

[sacred elm]

@glacial wind

That's not correct

[glacial wind]

It’s both

They offer both top mount and gasket

[sacred elm]

[candid bramble]

i mean dual mount is a thing

but idk man

[glacial wind]

Yeah it’s 2 mounting options with that, although almost no one uses top mount since it normally doesn’t sound as nice as gasket

[candid bramble]

i will think about it

cuz the gasket mount in the stock 80 kinda kills the board

like it just sound super dead

[sacred elm]

idk, it's listed as gasket mount everywhere

only gasket, nobody mentioned a top mount

[glacial wind]

It’s on the product page for bone80 shows top mount

[candid bramble]

wait let me check the chinese version

[glacial wind]

I assume they just didn’t copy that part to the English version but it showed on the taobao page when I was entering the info

[candid bramble]

yea it said dual mount

top and gasket

[candid bramble]

yea but idk if it true

the prodact page looks like it

but is wrote in broken chinese

so idk should i trust it or not LMAO

[glacial wind]

If you want top mount for sure then holy80 is also top mount

but that case isn’t that best for sound lol

[sacred elm]

maybe it's the switches that you don't like and not the 80HE gasket

what are you using

[candid bramble]

i swapped them out for owlab ti

is just the sound is super dead

cuz i think is just the pad causing it

but idk

[sacred elm]

Try different plate, PC plate can make any switch sound dead

[little glen]

[candid bramble]

yea i am cutting a few plates rn

we will see in a few day

[little glen]

You can also choose to cut the silicone around the alphas

[candid bramble]

cuz i am getting pom, cf, alu, pp

and we will see

[candid bramble]

wait can you do like

half plate sort of thing

where u cut out the middle but leaves the outer edge

[sacred elm]

[candid bramble]

oh so yea

half plate

[little glen]

This is with what i cut out laid on top

Could replace it with poron foam if you want as well

[candid bramble]

nah i will just run without it i think

cuz pc plate flex is easy to fix

so yea thanks for the tip

i might do that tmr

[pliant tinsel]

Hi so i just put my new switches in my 60he plus, do i have to calibrate the keyboard or anything ?

[little glen]

I like this setup with middle cut out and fr4 plate

Alu probably also sounds good

[sacred elm]

Unplug replug

[solar tundra]

Are TTC King Poms still good? I bought them in July but they just sitting around since then

[candid bramble]

at least I got my 80 he in my dorm set up

[little glen]

Replug and if the switches are available in the switch selector, select those

[pliant tinsel]

switch selector ?

where do i find that

[sacred elm]

What switches did you get

[pliant tinsel]

Gravastar ufos

[sacred elm]

Then just replug and it'll calibrate. UFOs aren't available in the switch selector yet.

[pliant tinsel]

Ohh okay will do that, thanks

[candid bramble]

wait so did you just get a pair of scissor and cut it out

or u use a box cutter

[pliant tinsel]

Btw is it normal that they dont really click in at the keys that have stabilizers ?

[candid bramble]

i dont know what they are called in english

[little glen]

I just used scissors cause i didnt have a box cutter

[candid bramble]

is it easy to cut thur or

[little glen]

Whatever works for you

Yeah its not that hard i just used kitchen scissors cause i had them laying around

[sacred elm]

Wait, what are you planning to do?

Wizard cut the silicone sandwich, not the plate

[candid bramble]

also is that mictlan with extra?

i cant tell if the f keys is extra

[sacred elm]

Good stability, sound is mid

[candid bramble]

yea ik thats what i am planing to do lmao

[sacred elm]

I was confused. you said the plate above

[little glen]

Novelties but yes

I have an order for the new skulls too

[candid bramble]

eu layout as well

sick

[candid bramble]

i been wanting a set for a while but couldnt find a board to fit it on

i have the NRKB keebmat for it as well

maybe on my jfell when i get back home but idk

[pliant tinsel]

Shafie is it recommended to use the beta version of wootility or mehh ?

[sacred elm]

You can, there's 0.1 rapid trigger available if you want

[pliant tinsel]

Oh damn

[near chasm]

Hey

I am searching a metalic case for my 80he

I found the wooting, the gt80 and the holy 80

But I whant to know if I can find a cheaper case

[sacred elm]

White zinc in Wooting respawn store for $55

[candid bramble]

yea imma cut the sandwhich pad when i get my plate

[near chasm]

Shame that’s it’s not available in black

[sacred elm]

Ego80, Bone80 on taobao

[proud marsh]

does wooting not sell it's stabilizers?

[sacred elm]

No

[tropic urchin]

wtf is an ego80

[trail bane]

Someones ego but in 77.5% layout

[paper bison]

[tropic urchin]

Oh so it’s a scuffed GT80

[untold wigeon]

aye yo

they just sent my UFOs, what you mean by this

BTW if anyone knows of a good OEM keycap groupbuy or manufacturer HMU because Cherry keycaps aint it

[near chasm]

Tysm

[tawdry tree]

It’s the cleanest looking 80HE case once you take that badge off imo

[near chasm]

Do you know why the black 80he zinc alloy case is not available for my region ? (I live in France)

[ionic breach]

oh its tenz collab day iirc

[sacred elm]

#🌟│wooting80he message

[ionic breach]

its gone

[near chasm]

Oh okay ty

[ionic breach]

did they actually leak something badly in the end of year livestream

[round sparrow]

No time for the reveal right?

[ionic breach]

nah not that i know of

[sacred elm]

not sure what you guys are talking about

[glossy pagoda]

There is no reveal in Ba Sing Se

[cyan lark]

Tenz bring me the automatic profile switcher feature of the BG service and I'll buy your merch

[glossy pagoda]

This is now available for backorder

[tropic urchin]

I see where they get the name from

[tropic urchin]

They have the first nice purple color, but I don’t see what makes it cleaner/better, to me it looks like they ripped off the GT80 and then made the top/bottom case look like me tryna draw a straight line

[glacial wind]

minor copyright music issue

sander is fixing it now i think lol

[ionic breach]

o rip

[glacial wind]

also i don't know what you mean by tenz, do you mean fonz

the freeze frame clearly says fonz
