it wasnt even a box

its a black soft-packing envelope thing

[chilly mural]

HMMMM

[robust siren]

yk thats lined inside with bubblewrap

(is what im assuming it is)

i wont know what i got until a few hours later

[trail bane]

Congrats to your father’s friend on his new endgame pcb

[robust siren]

its just a pcb

[trail bane]

By "just a pcb" you mean just a pcb??

[tropic urchin]

its not just any PCB, its THE endgame PCB ☝️ 🤓

[robust siren]

[chilly mural]

DA endgame endgame PCB

[trail bane]

[tropic urchin]

its all you need after all

[robust siren]

theres no switches keycaps or case

[chilly mural]

frfr, if it supports knob I'll grab it someday

[trail bane]

Endgame pcb hev2 when?

[tropic urchin]

make sure to twist it and bop it after

[robust siren]

what if i put wooting knob on bakka

[chilly mural]

Sureeee, your pcb would make for a nice test subject

[tropic urchin]

the day we get 7u split space bar on a 65% board with layout

[trail bane]

Are they deadass? 💀

[robust siren]

oh wait there probably are switches

i dont have my dads friends number and my dads at work atm

[trail bane]

No anime girl box is sus asf

[robust siren]

its probably inside the super sus black soft packaging

[trail bane]

[robust siren]

do i ditch anime girl bottom plate for anime girl bottom pcb

or is the girl on the top of the pcb

[tropic urchin]

why worry when you can get anime girl keycaps on top ✅

[robust siren]

[tropic urchin]

you're telling me you dont want spicy valorant UV printed keycaps

i dont believe you

[lyric nimbus]

how is the

60he v2 mounted

[paper bison]

friction fit

[lyric nimbus]

famn

hypothetically would the 2he be fine if i converted it to bottom mount

[stark latch]

yo guys

are the UFO gravastar switches good withe the wooting 60HE?

[pallid grove]

Hello, im wanting to get a tofu redux case for my wooting (v1) and thought i may aswell get some new switches too. I have heard the Owlab TI are good (and can get them easily in Australia) would you have any other recommendations? I mainly play FPS idk if that changes recommendations tho

[cyan lark]

Yes

[cyan lark]

Ti's are great. Here's more reading if you'd like #🪛│modding_faq message

[pallid grove]

Thanks

[stark latch]

ok thx

[lyric nimbus]

@cyan lark

the journey begins

[cyan lark]

Nice my dude!

Consider me emotionally invested

[lyric nimbus]

this thing is so the grounding cable has a place to go

[cyan lark]

Ohh I haven’t worked with the 2, didn’t know it had a cable for grounding.

Though you could still probably just use a sponge to the usb sheathe, right?

[lyric nimbus]

wym

the 2he daughterboard has the cable that attaches to the pcb and an extra grounding cable

[cyan lark]

I should look at the 2 before I speak out of my rear

[lyric nimbus]

next up is the plate

im going to convert it from tray mount -> bottom mount

[sturdy rock]

Ooh Onshape is fire

[lyric nimbus]

yeah once i get the prototype right ill make the case file public

2he people are going to enjoy this

ATTEMPTING SOUND PROFILE - Creamy Deep Thock with subtle pop😊

• Up for any suggestions🤓

[calm pulsar]

what is the ratio percentage of each sound profile component

[tiny summit]

Good question, im just guessing, I know fundamentals but hoping this sound profile can be accomplished with this setup🤓

[fallen narwhal]

Is the tofu redux foam good or should I just get my own?

It’s for my wooting 60he+

[glacial wind]

it's fine. Foam is mostly personal preference

try it out, if you like it then you're good, if not then change it

[fallen narwhal]

Thanks king

[tulip rapids]

I used the wooting

foam

iirc I rip the top part of the foam

for my tofu case

[robust siren]

69x UR Ice Ultras

[fallen narwhal]

NICE THEY CAME IN

Is that a closed bottom I see

[robust siren]

yes

[fallen narwhal]

Test them out pls

[robust siren]

ice ultras are closed bottoms

[robust siren]

its gonna be 2 weeks before i can

i dont have a pcb

[fallen narwhal]

Aw damn

Rip

Uhh would this be good for my stabilizers for my wooting I’m still confused on which one to use 😭

[robust siren]

holy60 clone is complete

[robust siren]

yeah its fine

[robust siren]

maybe i should flip the strap over

[robust siren]

im still missing my other switch, the kois

[lyric nimbus]

progress for today

[sturdy rock]

Looks good cant wait for the finished project

[lyric nimbus]

next up: daughterboard

[tulip rapids]

Anyone know good mx switches?

heard about akko rosewood

[robust siren]

@trail bane they sent the 6.25u version and the pcb packaging was ripped

theres no plastic wrap on the box

[paper bloom]

Someone def stole it

[robust siren]

nah the pcb is there

im getting my dad to test each key LOL

[paper bloom]

Oh LOL

[robust siren]

ts is ripped

[robust siren]

bro wtf man

huge ass gash too

[sturdy rock]

Oof

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin

$223 btw, $70+ upcharge than if i bought it in china

[fluid ravine]

tf

"first time selling pcb's"

[robust siren]

@trail bane not even the original product i ordered

6.25u is marked

[robust siren]

deadass tho

time to send a lengthy email to support

i hate sending emails

[fluid ravine]

well gotta send them the full experience

[robust siren]

well at least i can see waifu box

@fluid ravine @trail bane

ig 7u rgb pcb doesnt exist guys

[trail bane]

Lol

[robust siren]

do i even bother exchanging it if it works

(it does)

[calm pulsar]

“definitly” jakubix works there confirmed

[robust siren]

all the stuff is complete, just a cut line on the box and the anti static wrap is ripped up

[calm pulsar]

I would keep it probably

[robust siren]

yeah my dads kinda busy and keybay offered a 10% refund

i get about $22 back

[paper bloom]

BRUH someone def opened it

[cloud crane]

HMX Sunset Gleam V2

[chilly mural]

RIP

[graceful wasp]

Alright lets see how long it‘ll take for the Shopping

For my UFOS

Got everything for free🥳🥳

[proven wadi]

if it works i wouldnt bother returning it 🙂

[untold wigeon]

who keeps the box anyways

[robust siren]

it has anime waifu on it

[untold wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/dunk-gif-21755298

[robust siren]

so me

[untold wigeon]

to the trash bin

[robust siren]

and i keep boxes for returns/warranty if needed

[untold wigeon]

Fair

[untold wigeon]

Where did you order off

I ordered on January 5th off their website and I got the DHL email barely a day after

Looks sick but Venom65 HE PCB by Geon is not it

[fallen narwhal]

Keep the box

[chilly mural]

why? Anything bad with the pcb?

[untold wigeon]

proprietary web configurator seems to be mediocre

[chilly mural]

it looks fine

[graceful wasp]

Gravastar.eu and amzon gangy

[untold wigeon]

What does gangy mean

[untold wigeon]

Shame they built a beautiful keyboard and decided to go with a Geon PCB

[chilly mural]

I mean, what's the other alternative, if they do with their own self develop one, it'll be annoying to source replacement pcb compared to just getting it from Geon

[untold wigeon]

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104065.0

[uneven cradle]

much better option than most at least with the venom it will get updates

[untold wigeon]

Fair enough

[uneven cradle]

and I don't think there are any HE pcbs with non proprietary software currently on the market but I could be wrong

[untold wigeon]

Any good source for mechanical switches similar to the Notion page you guys maintain?

Hard to find objectively made tests

Whole bunch of shilling and advertising masked as reviews out there

[scarlet plank]

sorry for the interruption, just a quick question: Anyone knows if Typeplus × YiKB stabilizers fit the v2 plate? I know, them are screw ins, but I worry if they would fit the plate or if they are too wide

[sacred elm]

They fit

[scarlet plank]

thank you!

[uneven cradle]

can confirm using them in my one

[scarlet plank]

so.. they are worth the money and hassle? 😉

[cloud crane]

He's making a HE pcb, prototype soon

[uneven cradle]

not sure on the unbiased front but theremingoat definitely goes into detail
https://www.theremingoat.com/

[untold wigeon]

Just what I was looking for, thanks

[cloud crane]

A few on github but most are pretty barebone

Only very basic features

[uneven cradle]

I remember talk of keychron doing it but than I don't think it ended up being open sourced

[cloud crane]

Waiting for Gondo open source HE pcb 🙏

[glass dragon]

Closest we’ll have to ‘open’ source is the OEM chinese firmware pre-loaded into all the chinese boards

[austere creek]

unless qmk starts supporting HE (and the HE stuff like RT) i doubt we will see a good FOSS or even OSA firmware

[untold wigeon]

We will? Nah

[uneven cradle]

looks like they did release something
https://github.com/Keychron/qmk_firmware/tree/hall_effect_playground/keyboards/keychron/q1_he

[austere creek]

i said good, hopper

[untold wigeon]

They have Macros

[glass dragon]

I doubt it could improve much more, unless they limit the software to specific HE hardware configs

[uneven cradle]

won't be merged into main branch though because:

[austere creek]

lol what

why not make that a config flag

isnt that good to have as an option

[glass dragon]

Options are always good 😋
But unlike regular mechanical boards where there isnt much to maintain, Wireless and HE boards in the main branch would likely need constant tweaks I’d guess; even more so for inter-communicating chips (despite toggles)

And I don’t think the unpaid laborers of QMK would really want that

[graceful wasp]

Bro something is missing but idk what yall got any accessories ideas for me?

[fallen pecan]

latenpow gold specs

[graceful wasp]

They look like they sound ass

[fallen narwhal]

So true

[untold wigeon]

Gaudy looking

everyone who got those gold awful looking metal keycaps drooling rn

[sacred elm]

It's time

[untold wigeon]

Those keycaps look great!

[graceful wasp]

Ts ass

Midas right there

Can some1 give me some setup advice?

[slow storm]

Hey @sacred elm, just bringing this up again because I ran into some conflicting info and wanted to double check (sorry in advance).

On KBDfans’ product page for the Tofu60 Redux it says “Do not install the two golden brass standoffs inside the case”, but on KBDfans’ own YouTube build for the Wooting 60HE V2 they do install two brass standoffs.

Since you mentioned using the top right screw for grounding, I just wanted to double check as I’ve come across some conflicting info.

For a 60HE V2 in a Tofu60 Redux, should the brass standoff(s) be installed at all, or should I rely solely on the top right screw for grounding? Or am I simply just misunderstanding what KBD wrote in the "installation note"

[humble surge]

Looks good, will order some. TB links much appreciated.

[untold wigeon]

Embolia

[humble surge]

I can't watch on phone

[untold wigeon]

Better lmao

[humble surge]

🙃

[fallen pecan]

only chinese tiktok shop link for now: https://v.douyin.com/1T_T-5twLBM/

[tropic urchin]

Rip tenz collab 🥀

[humble surge]

All good thanks, it can wait.

[untold wigeon]

I love Chinese listings always include shit like this hahah

[glacial wind]

You don’t need those brass standoffs. Does nothing for you since 60he v2 has its own built in standoffs

Leave them off

[slow storm]

Got it, that makes sense, thanks for clarifying.

Just to confirm then: what about the top right screw I was told to use for ESD grounding? Does that still apply, or is it unnecessary since the 60HE V2 has built-in standoffs?

Sorry if this is a basic question, I’m still pretty new to modding/custom keyboards.

[sacred elm]

Bad photographer, no sony lens

[slow storm]

Looks so nice!

[untold wigeon]

good enough

you dont need a crazy a7v to take keyboard pics lol

[sacred elm]

so blurry oof, thanks discord

[undone stratus]

is that the optimum case?

[tropic urchin]

[sacred elm]

better

[sacred elm]

Yes

[slow storm]

what keycaps are those?

[sacred elm]

GMK Evil Dolch

[tropic urchin]

Now we’re just F5ing for switch selector new batch 🥀

[undone stratus]

is it worth it i wanna buy it but the cost for me is 200 cad with shipping

32 dollars in shipping

[slow storm]

Nordic kit sold out :/

[tropic urchin]

Waiting for the new batch that includes our switches

[undone stratus]

hm I mean does like the tofu60 redux have a uh warranty or nah

[sacred elm]

Those golden standoffs aren't needed if you can screw in the screw in the top right corner

[flat cobalt]

https://kkinstagram.com/reel/DTLbYA_jsAJ/

[undone stratus]

yea

[flat cobalt]

GMK Spark @tropic urchin

[slow storm]

Alright, thanks!

[tropic urchin]

GMK electric citrus 🔥

[undone stratus]

well I bought the 60he+ abs now im regretting not getting the v2 but im already changing the switches in the module anyway

[ornate harbor]

Beautiful

[untold wigeon]

Why would you need to get the v2

[flat cobalt]

I might buy this one

[undone stratus]

Idk I always double doubt myself on things idk :c

[untold wigeon]

Stop window shopping and enjoy what you got lol

It's a decent keyboard

(The Lekkers it came with are terrible)

If you already switched them you are good

[glacial wind]

yes you still do the one screw very loosely just for grounding

[undone stratus]

yeah I have jade pros for when it comes

[untold wigeon]

I was going to get Jade Mini E's I think Jade's in general are the best sounding HE for my taste

[lucid juniper]

coming from the og 60he the tikkens feel so nice fr 👴

[undone stratus]

I will try its just hard idk I always doubt myself with anything I do its always been a problem of mine however I have gotten better over the years

[tropic urchin]

Me waiting for Selene: 👴

[untold wigeon]

Overthinking doesn't usually bring in anything good to your life lol

Stick with your decisions

You took them for a reason

[undone stratus]

gotta trust my gut more often

[undone stratus]

Well exams have a special place in my life causing the most stress and overthinking life in general

[graceful wasp]

Whats accessories are missing?

[lucid juniper]

idk a mouse and audio

pack a cigs and a lighter?

[graceful wasp]

I got the beast x 8k and subwoofers

Like accessories, do u got any ideas?

[lucid juniper]

anime figures, lots of em

[chilly mural]

https://www.thieaudio.com/products/thieaudio-monarch-mkiv

[lucid juniper]

idk get something you enjoy

[slow storm]

Do you know, if they will be in stock again? Or is it just gg now

[graceful wasp]

Already ordered everything spent 200 bucks on customizations

[graceful wasp]

Where should i put them tho

[graceful wasp]

What do they do

[fallen pecan]

if you use a wooting jade mini e won't work well with it, wrong polarity

[chilly mural]

Imagine a high end audio setup you can easily bring anywhere and even use while riding bus/train/airplane

[tropic urchin]

You stop it 😡

Jk keep posting them I want them tho 🥀

[graceful wasp]

But i got airpods😡

[chilly mural]

it's fine, you'll get it someday

[lucid juniper]

on a shelf or under ur monitor, I'm just kidding though don't get that just to get something

[graceful wasp]

My monis are on the table

[tropic urchin]

I got some new eartips (L wide bore) for the element 4 and that shit slaps

[robust siren]

bruh i was waiting for the koi switches

i never selected them to order

[chilly mural]

nice nice. A new tips can almost be like getting a higher end iem

[sacred elm]

Not sure

[tropic urchin]

I was using M/ML and wanted to try L

Since those velvet wide bores are my favorite for the top pros

[tropic urchin]

They seemed to be pretty popular/obtainable, worst case you could try r/mechmarket or try to find them on different regional websites to see who has stock

[slow storm]

Sold out everywhere when I checked regional websites 🥹
I don't really use reddit, but what would r/mechmarket help me with?

[tropic urchin]

It’s a place where people sell things keyboard related, it’s where I found my GMK Lazurite set they got everything

Imagine every seller is thockfather

They got almost every set

[slow storm]

Ohhh

[little glen]

need to see if i can find gmk dragon witch

[tropic urchin]

I’ve only found ones 30+ days ago

[lyric nimbus]

chat

how do i copy this into my cad model

[slow storm]

Is there a way to somehow get notified or know when keycaps will re-stock or drop ?

[tropic urchin]

Unless you sign up for a newsletter from your local vendors, I’d just email your local vendors to see if there are any plans on restocking

Then if that’s a no across the board and you checked every different regional vendor, then your best bet would be mechmarket and hope there’s an EU seller

[untold wigeon]

ye

[lucid juniper]

🐟

[untold wigeon]

Thanks for the heads up, bought UFOs 4 days ago

I will probably end up buying Jades if I sell this kb

[trail bane]

Ngl ts is so funny

[paper bison]

do we know the best way to configure to dcf in the switch selector until it's added?

I've been using mine on stock 4.0 without switching ngl

[cyan lark]

I was told to use Lekker w/ 0.5mm bumpers in the config

or spacers, w/e

[paper bison]

Will try it, cheers xo

wasnt sure if i could just pick any 3.5mm travel switch or theres some secret sauce

[tropic urchin]

Soon.tm for new switch selector batch

[tropic urchin]

From what Shafie said lekker is the best option to use since the magnets are of similar strength so just use the 0.5 spacer to achieve the same bottom out

[paper bison]

prayer

also i put the dcf in my 80he with stock stabs and they rock like fuck

and when pressed on the edge just mount onto the stab(?) and become squint

didnt happen with other short travel switches like owlab

i need to get knights or something for my 80he bc apparently the stock stabs no likey

[glacial wind]

Just grab geon stem spacers

No need to do a whole stab swap

[paper bison]

I would if I could get them in the UK without paying ca. 30usd shipping from Korea or having to spend $150 on delta

[glacial wind]

oof, that no EU trade is rough

[little glen]

you can find plenty of ways to spend 150 on delta

[tropic urchin]

I didn’t like the stock 80HE stabs (didn’t tune or lube since I had knight v2s), V4s were alot better but still have some residual if you press the space bar on one side, but otherwise are fine. V2s are the only long pole stabs currently

[paper bison]

Instead I can get something like the knight v4 from prototypist for $15 a box, just get 2 boxes

knight v4 shouldnt rock with dcf right

[glacial wind]

V4 still have same issue most likely

[paper bison]

Oh happily, except I have other shit to spend money on

[tropic urchin]

They’re not long pole, but felt more resilient

[glacial wind]

Everyone stopped selling long pole options mostly

Only ones I know still doing long pole is maybe tx ap

[paper bison]

worth getting?

[glacial wind]

Eh not as good as knights imo, but they’re still fine

[paper bison]

I've used knights before in my old 60, and have yikb in my v2

the v2 with dcf and yikb rocks but I'm planning on letting my brother use my 80he and he would pick up on the rocking more than me and get bothered by it

so i need to get long pole

I should be able to just get 1.6mm pcb mount tx ap stabs and hopefully that fixes it

[glacial wind]

Basically stem spacer is what everyone went towards so all the brands stopped bothering with long pole options lol

[paper bison]

wooting uses a 1.6mm pcb no?

[glacial wind]

Yeah

[tropic urchin]

There’s unfortunately no geon spacers anywhere other than geon and fuck that shipping

[paper bison]

yeah i can get them from mechmods

honestly might swap out the yikb in my v2 for them if they fix the wobbling

[glacial wind]

You can get it from aliexpress but might not ship to him in UK maybe

[paper bison]

last i saw they didnt ship here on ali

also

that reminds me

[glacial wind]

Man uk really got screwed with the whole leaving the eu thing

[paper bison]

jed my goat, you put me on to aliexpress coins n now i got like7k

im set

[robust siren]

bro

[glacial wind]

yeah now you got enough for lifetime of small discounts lol

[paper bison]

nvm I have 8900

[glacial wind]

It’s nice. Everything is a nice little discount in the coin tab

[chilly mural]

enough for a set of switches

[paper bison]

i've spent like $7 just here n there

and the coin tab discounts add up ngl

ordered tx ap stabs

[glacial wind]

Yeah it’s like a free 1-5% discount every time you buy

[paper bison]

[robust siren]

i got geon spacers cause my soju keycaps rocked a lot more than my pbtfan set

[paper bison]

plus if it helps in my 80he i can get the extra 2u kit for the v2 spacebar for dirt cheap

[paper bison]

if i could get the spacers here i would

but i gotta go long pole stabs for now

[chilly mural]

it's a nice stab, it's on my venom

[paper bison]

never used it beefore tbh, used yikb, knight v3 n v4

nice little child set of stabs for the v2 if i wanna switch them out there too

[robust siren]

i got my ice ultras today, waiting for koi switches and that should be it for mods

[untold wigeon]

Does anyone know what the closest case replacement to the BOOG75 case for the 60HE+ would be

It's an alu case isn't it. I'm guessing Tofu but I might be missing other options

[paper bison]

what the fuck is a stab stopper lmao

[robust siren]

yes.

[paper bison]

ngl

i ordered enough txap for my 80he and 60hev2

just incase 🤣

[robust siren]

need more

[paper bison]

yes boss

ordering more

its just annoyed me because i love the dcf on the alphas but on stabs keys it just sounds horrible

and feels so wobbly

long pole stabs hopefully comes max win

i still have a fuckton of 205g0

[tropic urchin]

Real question is what do I get with spacers on Ali

[robust siren]

more dcf

[tulip rapids]

buy those heavy ufo switches bruh

[tropic urchin]

Mm

[tropic urchin]

Lmao

Yeah I’m not buying UFOs

[glacial wind]

i really am curious to see what the split is on UFOs for people who like them vs not

[tropic urchin]

Actually I’ll just wait for the flux springs to finally be added and add spacers to that

[robust siren]

flux springs 3027

[tropic urchin]

I’d need more DCF for my venom but I also want copper plate and think I’ll be holding off on that prob

[plush plinth]

i just bought the 60he v2. do i have to screw those silver screws in to make it hold?

[tropic urchin]

They really wanted confirmation that aligner would buy it so my thoughts are you’re fake news

[glacial wind]

depends, what case are you using?

[plush plinth]

aluminium

[robust siren]

everything genuine here

[glacial wind]

the official wooting v2 case?

[plush plinth]

yes

[glacial wind]

then no need for screws

just drop it in like first part of assembly tutorial and you're good

[plush plinth]

yea i put the black thing in took the white silicone thing out cause i like the sound more. now i just put the keycaps on and plug it in right?

[glacial wind]

yep

[plush plinth]

ok thank u

[glacial wind]

(and switches as well, but i assume you mean switches + keycaps)

[graceful wasp]

Would it be a cool idea if i wrap my aluminum case in carbon?

[lyric nimbus]

is there any way i can copy this exact design onto my custom 2he case

[cyan lark]

Sorry, the last time I touched CAD was before 9/11

[untold wigeon]

Every day Turing ages himself hahaha

Sno we need a #uncs channel

[untold wigeon]

I'm looking at aluminium cases and found the Tofu60 Redux being the closest thing to the stock one that comes with the Boog75

Is there any other alu case that is similar?

I don't dislike the stock one but I like the sound signature of that keyboard combination so perhaps switching my 60HE to a thicker case helps

[tulip rapids]

yoyou have a venom ?

[untold wigeon]

Why would you do that

[solar tundra]

Any Rakka60 Atlas Vendor in Europe?

[tropic urchin]

Think it’s only aliexpress/TB currently

[solar tundra]

Aliexpress?

Didnt find it there

[solar tundra]

Hidden yup

Ola

[glacial wind]

looks like groupbuy for zoom64 is start of february. I'm still a little not sure on it due to the usb hub function being required, but we'll see

i'll pick one up for testing regardless since it'll be a popular case i bet

[chilly mural]

man, the outside china tax be hitting hard. The similar one I found in taobao is like $70 less

[solar tundra]

You from EU?

[tropic urchin]

Nah

[glacial wind]

they're doing a google form to vote on colors for the zoom64 drop

[solar tundra]

You got Taobao Link

[chilly mural]

no, i just search around there

[glacial wind]

what worries me the most is usually if you use USB hub to connect a keyboard you're both increasing latency and increasing issues with stable power delivery

[solar tundra]

yeah that mf pcb is expensive tho

[glacial wind]

so for HE keyboard it's a bit of a worry

[solar tundra]

i only found it on some canadian website i think für 250

[paper bison]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/702626820876533851/1444997998261174312/image0.gif

[tropic urchin]

It was $226 (PCB only) + $37 shipping for me

[trail bane]

Deltakeyco soon tm

probably jan 15

[trail bane]

PCB only but they'll make you pay extra and at the end send you another layout + switches

[tropic urchin]

LMAO

not like I’m a 60% guy anyway so I’m chillin

[glacial wind]

voting form on the color options for zoom64: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeYaH-AYMh64gWj3DM18xZP9boCXCKsKe-EVjIz0brEdoNxDg/viewform?usp=header

they said pricing is roughly starting from $130

[graceful wasp]

Why not

[lyric nimbus]

should i go with black opaque pc or should i translucent -> dye it

[graceful wasp]

Trans

[lyric nimbus]

translucent it is

[graceful wasp]

Yasss

Just like me

☠️☠️

[chilly mural]

nice nice. Doesn't seems too bad

[glacial wind]

yeah, although they said up to $190, but i assume that's full pcb kit and not just case for upper pricing

still a little unsure about the usb hub solution but willing to check it out

[solar tundra]

Can you use this Case for Wooting?

[glacial wind]

Yeah. They made a built in usb hub connector inside it

But that’s also the part that I’m a little worried about because usb hubs tend to both introduce potential power instability and also add end to end latency

[tropic urchin]

wtf, I need that glacier star trail/midnight ink 😩

[glacial wind]

They’re not making every color option, so will all come down to voting

[graceful wasp]

I bought this case for my wooting

Looks compatible right?

But should i get foam for the keyboard?

[glacial wind]

Looks like it, but I can’t say for sure of course

Foam I don’t know because we don’t know if it comes with foam or what not

[graceful wasp]

I have to extra order it

[graceful wasp]

I would go with this one

[glacial wind]

Seems overkill as everything there except the actual large foam bit isn’t going to be used

[graceful wasp]

Should i get another one?

But idk which one since its amazon

[glacial wind]

I mean it’s fine if you want to just throw out the rest and keep the foam bit itself, but I don’t know what you’re paying for it and what options you have

[lyric nimbus]

it continues

[graceful wasp]

14,99

[lyric nimbus]

having trouble replicating these standoffs though

[graceful wasp]

Or a 3mm thick one for 12,99€

[lyric nimbus]

dude what the fuck are these standoffs LOL

why are they not perfectly circular

[paper bloom]

Cuz of the threads

Or idk what

[lyric nimbus]

ok you will do for now

i'll worry about tapping later

plate time

[cyan lark]

Tapping looks fun, building in some bonus work 🙂

[lyric nimbus]

ok

it appears i am in a crisis

there's probably a very easy solution to this

i need to figure out a away to preserve the layout while...

• killing the outer plate and designing it to be bottom mounted
• remove all the screws that go from the plate to the bottom of the case (except for one, which will be used for grounding)
• add screws that allow me to screw the plate and pcb together

[tulip rapids]

question for my wooting homies

[solar tundra]

Goku my suihaa

[tulip rapids]

if gmk set has uv print on novelties im assuming i should just stay away from it?

[lucid juniper]

the set I bought had marked which of the keys were uv printed

[sullen kiln]

I just got the module for the v2 and the tofu redux case, but the space bar sounds atrocious and hollow.. different than every sound test.. how can I fix it

[tulip rapids]

do you like it

[lucid juniper]

well I don't have the set yet

[tropic urchin]

UV print typically doesn’t have great longevity before it starts to fade

Which is why it’s ass

[tulip rapids]

i see

so this set is an L then

😭

[cyan lark]

Well, the novelties

[little glen]

my uv printed caps are doing alright

[tulip rapids]

what about double shot injection molding

[little glen]

but i put them on lesser used keys

[lucid juniper]

I am also using uv printed keycaps right now and they've been fine

[lyric nimbus]

do we think the screws being made out of something conductive would

fuck up my 2he

[lucid juniper]

but yeah won't last as long as doubleshot

[cyan lark]

Double shot is 4 life

[humble surge]

GMK Dune ordered

[little glen]

i wouldnt recommend using the uv caps on wasd for example

[lucid juniper]

my gmk set has blue dots to mark the caps that are uv printed

[little glen]

but they are fine for stuff that you unly hit occasionally

[lucid juniper]

but if ur only using novelties on keys u dont use much it should still be fine

[tulip rapids]

beri nice you bought the miku set?

[lucid juniper]

yeah I got the base set and the novelties

[tulip rapids]

what materials should i look for when im looking at sets?

[lucid juniper]

to put on my miku edition gx1

[tulip rapids]

double shot abs? injection molding ?

[little glen]

on this one i would assume the caps with more complex designs on them are probably uv printed

[cyan lark]

Material would be ABS, PBT

[lucid juniper]

dye sub and double shot have great durability

[tropic urchin]

Pretty much just stay away from UV print. Everything else is preference

[cyan lark]

Doubleshot, dye-sub, etc are methods of getting the legends on

[tropic urchin]

If you want max longevity

[little glen]

so karp going under water is most likely uv print

the others i cant say

gmk basically only use uv for stuff they cant do with double shot like multi color or super complex designs like you see in mictlan novelties for example

[tulip rapids]

i guess with sets its hit or miss if rgb leaks through the pbt alphas ?

[little glen]

Like this is impossible to make with double shot

Due to the small size if the features and the different colors

[tulip rapids]

beri pwetty

[cyan lark]

Yeah doubleshot is limited to 2 colors (2 layers of plastic)

[tulip rapids]

feel like lowkey maxgaming sold me bs alphas

[tropic urchin]

That seems to be unavoidable, some sets have more than others, but also depends on how intense your RGB is

[tulip rapids]

70%

when i showed you the pic

i mean i dont mind not using rgb

[tropic urchin]

Even 70% can produce that with my blue GMK pieces

[little glen]

wooting rgb lowkey too bright

[cyan lark]

It really does vary by the set

[tulip rapids]

but for something thats suppose to be double shot

[tropic urchin]

Colored caps are the worst with it

[cyan lark]

Also the color of the caps is gonna matter

[little glen]

my cosmos spacebar has some light bleed on it

[cyan lark]

(gottagofast)

[tulip rapids]

i see so white alphas

[little glen]

really depends on the plastic

[tulip rapids]

will be the worst then

[little glen]

not really

white dye could be better at blocking light than like black dye

[tropic urchin]

Happens to white too but at a lesser clip on my lazurite set, granted I don’t run it much anymore bc of the bleed from the blue

So RGB is off

[little glen]

it just depends on the dye used

[tulip rapids]

i mean if i dont like the white alphas i could always use white wootings i guess for my dragon set

wooting feels to have better coating than those alphas

[little glen]

i should get back to studying but i like talking about keycaps too much

[cyan lark]

The real solution if you don't want light bleeding through caps is to replace them all w/ precious and semi-precious stones

[tulip rapids]

stone keyboard

[cyan lark]

Rock hard. Tuff.

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/lord-of-the-rings-my-precious-scream-gif-17264451

guess while im waiting for my gt80 case to come back in stock we change my 60he+ from tofu to op case and dual shot 2 keycaps

[cyan lark]

Dual shot has pretty minimal light bleed

[little glen]

brb making a purple cat's eye keycap set

that blinds you with rgb if you look at it at the wrong angle

[lyric nimbus]

chat

[tropic urchin]

Your real solution Goku is to tailor your RGB intensity so you get minimal if no shine thru

[lyric nimbus]

if i put this on my 2HE

[cyan lark]

I wish this were possible if you use effects

[lyric nimbus]

would it fuck up anything

[cyan lark]

(at least on wooting)

[little glen]

do you mean gt60

[tropic urchin]

Non tachyon user spotted

[lyric nimbus]

keep in mind these are made of stainless steel

[cyan lark]

Brother my response time is measurable in macroseconds

[tulip rapids]

no im getting gt80 case

later on

[little glen]

standoff like this shouldnt mess anything up i THINK

[tulip rapids]

and puting it on a 80he module

[little glen]

hmm

[tulip rapids]

for my mw jade set

[little glen]

have you asked kbdfans when they will restock

[tulip rapids]

no

[tropic urchin]

@tulip rapids do this, they might even put you into their system and you get your shit early

[little glen]

oh yeah they are on pre order

[tulip rapids]

i took this pic at night so the white looks a bit yellow from my room light

[little glen]

if you want green uh

[tulip rapids]

hidden tech

bet i'll email them

[little glen]

this is no front badge

with its 4 left

on the pre order

[tulip rapids]

yeah i dont want the front badge

[little glen]

yeah then you may want to

[tulip rapids]

i want to get silver and green case

and take pics with it

probably just keep both cases tbh

[little glen]

could make one more and give it to someone as a gift

or have the other to use for work or something

[tulip rapids]

honestly dont care if i dont use rgb

[little glen]

silver no front badge has 2 left in the pre order

[tropic urchin]

What did I tell you dawg

[tulip rapids]

care about how the set looks and feels

[tropic urchin]

Don’t do that

Not worth the logistics

[tulip rapids]

we dont save money in this chat dawg

we spend it

[tulip rapids]

do you know the hongdae way?

[little glen]

leather jacket and shorts thats how i be running around at home

[tropic urchin]

I don’t have an iPhone 16 pro max so no

[little glen]

why do i look like a loser tho

[tulip rapids]

because youre not open minded

[little glen]

maybe its cause i dont have an iphone 16 pro max

ohhhh

yeah that makes sense

i dont have silver case

[tulip rapids]

forget about that

time to get 17 pro max

heres a novel if you need help with being open minded

[tropic urchin]

They can smell your inferior camera, waiting to make you buy a Sony lens

they should have made the gt80 star wars themed, the lightbar looks like a lightsaber fr fr

[little glen]

my name is not shafie you will not make me buy 2 dollar switches and sony lens

[little glen]

did they finally get him

[untold wigeon]

He smoked his way to death what you mean did they finally get him lmaoo

[tulip rapids]

[lyric nimbus]

wtf

what is this side notch thing

and why is the dimensions 0.04mm off

i am very confused.

[untold wigeon]

What is that case aye yo

Round edge round side, Magsafe looking feet

[tulip rapids]

zoom64 case

[untold wigeon]

The designer was high on some shit

[tulip rapids]

you gonna put heavy ufo switches in this bruh?

[untold wigeon]

Looks awful

[little glen]

ima be honest cat bread i think you can find better more informed help in a place with people that also design keyboards/plates rather than in the money burning shitpost pit

[untold wigeon]

Who made that

[untold wigeon]

He is not lying

[tropic urchin]

That weird top right thing kinda ruins it, but everything else looks 👀

[tulip rapids]

brother

you havent seen the bottom

[little glen]

its a volume wheel

i think

[lyric nimbus]

Damn.

[tulip rapids]

rgb

[tropic urchin]

Luckily I’m not a 60% guy or I would be devastated

[tulip rapids]

like getting catfished from a girl you take home from the bar

to find out shes a man

[tropic urchin]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[tulip rapids]

you brought a homie back home with ya

[tropic urchin]

What bars you frequenting

[little glen]

just sayin cause i dont know shit about this stuff so if i try to say something its no better than speculation

[tulip rapids]

not yet

but im afraid

[little glen]

but if ur unsure about the switch cutouts on the plate you can try to compare them to something more recent like 80he

[lyric nimbus]

damn

[little glen]

and see if the dimensions line up

[lyric nimbus]

i thought there were like

more technical people here

[little glen]

i mean there probably are but a lot of em dont really frequent this place

[tulip rapids]

icl some of the cases are nice though

[tropic urchin]

Glacier my goat

I want a case like that for 80HE

[little glen]

most ive done is isolate the switch plate from the rest of the 80he model and save it separately but that was with 1:1 instructions by a wooting employee

[little glen]

all i want is an acrylic/pc top+copper/brass/anodized alu bottom case

on 80he

[tropic urchin]

Copper tuff

[little glen]

god damn i need to become a famous streamer and collab with wooting asap before the whole industry collapses

[untold wigeon]

That dial at the top right and the overall shape being off in the corners ruins it

Finishes look nice but whoever put that shit there needs to go back to design school

[little glen]

wish the neo stuff was compatible with wooting

idk why qk is doing their own he shit when they already have contact with woot and could probably work out some more cool lower budget stuff

i guess margins are probably better

[paper bloom]

Probs building their own inhouse brand

And then slowly work it up and r&d

[lyric nimbus]

what the shit is this man

why is the 2he NOT STANDARD

it's a 5mm gap and not a 5.05mm gap

[tulip rapids]

you bought your crazylight from pulsar website right?

or you did it through amazon

[tropic urchin]

Temu which is where they source their firmware from

Source: trust me bro

[tulip rapids]

-sigh- maybe i go back to bazer

and deal with their bad boftware

[tropic urchin]

Jokes aside apparently they’ve fixed it

[little glen]

mouse market so cooked

[tulip rapids]

yeah he told me

[tulip rapids]

fr charging 200+ for cheap plastic mice

[tropic urchin]

Just don’t update to future firmware 🤣

[little glen]

you either get shit mouse + bad software or good mouse + bad software or no mouse + bad software

[tulip rapids]

i been having issues with my wlx mouse and they want me to spend $200+ out of my wallet for a rma

they high af

[tropic urchin]

Tf

[tulip rapids]

yeah been pissing me off icl

miss the days when i had my razer viper ultimate with the charging dock and everything ran perfectly

then the dock went to shit

😭

[untold wigeon]

that is something gravastar would do

[lyric nimbus]

when did the wooting 2HE release

it might just

not be standard

[tulip rapids]

for a company you hate so much kinda weird you bought their switches unc

[tulip rapids]

when did you buy the 2he?

[little glen]

maybe its time to go from viper ultimate to v3p

[lyric nimbus]

yhh

last year

[tulip rapids]

i tried it when it first came out and i hated it

but honestly might have to give it another try

[little glen]

(i dont play super competitive games)

i like the shape of my current mouse

[tulip rapids]

i remember their software being hella annoying and not working and dealing with potato shape

so i return it

[untold wigeon]

lmao what is even wlx

why you buying shit mice

off bad companies

[tulip rapids]

unc off his meds again

i'll pray for you

[untold wigeon]

at least my mouse works

💀

[tulip rapids]

bless your heart

you are able to wake up each day

i know you been struggling unc

we will get through this

[lucid juniper]

top unc sentence all year

[untold wigeon]

you read my username or what

that's crazy

[tulip rapids]

thats why i said "bless your heart" dont tell me the meds are affecting your reading comprehension now

oh lawd

everyone come in here and pray for this unc

[lucid juniper]

🙏

what's the crazylight firmware issue? got mine recently

[tropic urchin]

Sensor skipping on micro adjustment on specific settings iirc, but it should be fixed now

Shafie had to use weird settings for it to work before

[lucid juniper]

alright, just curious what it was

thanks

[tulip rapids]

honestly thats probably the next mice i will get

just wondering how pulsar is with shipping and returning policy

[lucid juniper]

I'm really enjoying mine, got it on maxgaming though

[tulip rapids]

if not good i try to go through resellers

[trail bane]

Do you mean, standoff or what?

[lyric nimbus]

im convrting my 2he from tray mount -> bottom mount by printing a custom plate

and then using these standoffs to separate the plate from the pcb

[trail bane]

Imo You definitely should put standoffs

[sacred elm]

Pulsar yeah

[polar girder]

Gwolves Fenrir Asym my goat

[graceful wasp]

Is it worth it to wrap my case?

[lucid juniper]

my behated

lol tf

Why

[tulip rapids]

wdym wrap

[tropic urchin]

Not sure what wrapping your case is going to accomplish tbh

[lucid juniper]

shape, heavy clicks, wide, didn't like the scroll wheel, js not for me

[lyric nimbus]

just the plate and the top case

then figuring out how to screw shit together

[fluid ravine]

Like vinyl wrap?

[fallen narwhal]

Is this good for my wooting 60he+ stabilizers

[tulip rapids]

i hope youre successful in this

we believe in u cat

[paper bison]

[tulip rapids]

gonna look tuff

[fallen narwhal]

Thank you

For answering

😭

Noo like I really mean it

Thank you

So much

I owe you my life

Thank you so much

[lyric nimbus]

if i do succeed

it's the first like

seriously modded 2he to my knowledge?

[graceful wasp]

No clue what that is

I was thinking about a carbon fiber wrap

[graceful wasp]

Like wrapping around the case

[fluid ravine]

So vinyl wrapping.

Thats what it's called

And yes you can wrap it if you want
Should be fine

I have a friend that vinyl wrapped her 80HE

[lyric nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/scared-cat-back-up-im-out-of-here-funny-animals-gif-14402530

[languid cave]

im new to the whole thing its my first wooting is there any websites you guys recommend for aftermarket keycaps? (v2 split)

[graceful wasp]

Yess this one

But i want it in carbon fiber🤫🤫

[fluid ravine]

Yeah carbon fiber vinyl wrap

What case your going to do it on?

[graceful wasp]

Keycaps or switches?

[graceful wasp]

Will it look good?

[fluid ravine]

Key caps they said

[fluid ravine]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[graceful wasp]

Maybe he switched it by accident🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[fluid ravine]

Huh

[graceful wasp]

And i also bought the gravastar Ufo switches

[graceful wasp]

Will it work tho?

@fluid ravine

Or look good

[fluid ravine]

Should be fine

[fluid ravine]

Depends on you

[fluid ravine]

Yes* it will work

Just make sure you have all the equipment and learn how to vinyl wrap

Need like heat guns and like a small edge knife or wtv

I was planning to vinyl wrap a case myself back then but changed my mind and got smth else

[robust siren]

[languid cave]

keycaps

[languid cave]

ty

[fluid ravine]

It's a link to what vendors you can look at in your region

Vendors related to keyboard related stuff

Good luck on your finds

[languid cave]

is there specific things i should look for? like is there a size or stuff specially for the split keyboard?

[fluid ravine]

For split key caps
You need to look for space bars of 2.75 1.25 2.25

You can check the key caps image kits and yeah

Some kits have 2.75u and 2.25u space bar but 1.25u is the hard part about this

Unfortunately you may need to buy the space bar kit if it's apart of the keycaps you're looking at

[languid cave]

gotcha i appreciate the help

[lyric nimbus]

it appears i need to figure out how to carve the red onto the blue

[austere creek]

im not even sure what im looking at

[cyan lark]

More. More!

[fluid ravine]

That works

[fluid ravine]

Better start doing research

[lyric nimbus]

custom 2HE case

dude the 3d CAD model on github is cursed as fuck

[trail bane]

Gn

[austere creek]

is it?

[lyric nimbus]

yea

the switch slots aren't actually 14mm and their gap isn't 19.05mm lol

[austere creek]

also to transfer them just select the holes and then cut into the blue one

not too hard to transfer

[lyric nimbus]

on cad though?

[austere creek]

i mean

fusion can do it

i think that counts as cad

[graceful wasp]

Or ima just stick with the black one

[lyric nimbus]

i use uhh

onshape

lo

[austere creek]

well uh

gl

[graceful wasp]

Thats what i bought for my wooting whats missing tho?

[echo spire]

can i use another lube for the springs like Krytox 105?

[austere creek]

yes why wouldnt you be able to

[austere creek]

a pcb and topplate

[graceful wasp]

Whats that

[austere creek]

the pcb is what makes the keyboard work

the topplate is what holds the switches

[graceful wasp]

😡😡

Nice joke pal

🤣🤣

[austere creek]

what joke

[graceful wasp]

I got a whole wooting60HE

[graceful wasp]

I just wanna customize it

[uneven cradle]

you linked a case, switches and keycaps - if you bought the module that's everything you need

[graceful wasp]

Ik but i had the wooting for 6 months now

[cyan lark]

Nobody here knew that - hasn't made the headlines yet.

[graceful wasp]

My bad

[cloud crane]

Wooting plate for Gehirn60

[lyric nimbus]

i got the plate working

and then got all the screwholes

[austere creek]

how are those screw holes gonna hold the pcb to the plate

[austere creek]

normally they screw into posts of the bottom plate

im not sure if thats advisable given that the holes werent designed to have screw directly on them

[lyric nimbus]

what if i place like

a silicone stopper

some silicone ring to prevent pcb-screw contact

[austere creek]

would help yeah but youd need to do it both sides

so the thing between the plate and pcb needs one and the screw as well

[lyric nimbus]

yeah

[austere creek]

so you dont have anything potentially shorting or damaging the pcb

[lyric nimbus]

im assuming the plate would be fine

[austere creek]

yeah the plate wont care

[lyric nimbus]

ya

would the screws being made of

stainless steel

harm anything?

[austere creek]

if properly padded they shouldnt

[lyric nimbus]

hm

ok

[austere creek]

might be more ideal to try and find a screw that has the shaft attached

so not like its now a tube 2 screw go into but more like our strap screws

where one is threaded on the inside

then you can get a smooth shaft going through the hole for stability and only need 1 pad on the "screw head" side of the pcb

[lyric nimbus]

whar

[austere creek]

sorry it took so long to ms paint it

[lyric nimbus]

mmm

icic

that seems oddly specific though

[austere creek]

its more that you replicate closer how the pcb is supposed to mount

[lyric nimbus]

i'd need to find a shaft that's like

uhhhhhhh

1.6+3.5

5.1mm long

[austere creek]

essentially just a threaded sleeve with a screw head

oh internally threaded screw they seem to be called

prob also better for the padding material than a shaft with 2 screw going into it since you can actually hold the internally threaded screw still with a driver and only apply torque with the screw from the topplate

anyway just my 2 cents on how id engineer this for easier assembly and (at least in my opinion) safer design

[lyric nimbus]

interesting

i'm probably just gonna o-ring the bottom/top of the pcb though

unless if the o-ring is too large

in which case idk what to use as padding

[austere creek]

you could also just use lasercut rubber sheets or some such

literally anything non conductive and rubbery should work

the main goal is to not damage the PCB as well as in your case with doing it top and bottom side to avoid not properly clamping the pcb in place

[lyric nimbus]

yeah

and so i need to find a thin enough rubber sheet

and then cut it

[austere creek]

shouldnt be too hard to find

[lyric nimbus]

ya

[austere creek]

could prob even be rubber tape

[lyric nimbus]

also for foam i'm probably gonna uhh

kilmat it

and then put masking tape over the kilmat to prevent the foil from touching the pcb
