Never look at mx. I just liked that one for her

I like that it’s Alice plus tented

yeaaa gotta def do more research on silent switches here bigsly
looking at some build even with plateless this thing can still be pretty loud (some long pole switches) thin and loud still

#

resonance as well

#

gonna need some foam

#

thick dense foam, nothing compact, use the foam it comes with, maybe do use a plate

i just got my unit today, which means i finally have a dust cover lol

#

i never bought a prebuilt 80he for ages

#

the sides are definitely cooler than i expected

#

so it's basically the top and bottom area are similar black plastic, but then the entire stripe that goes around entire keyboard in between the top/bottom case is translucent

#

so it's both opaque at top and bottom but translucent around the middle

Hello everybody !
I recently build a 60 V2 with the owlab OW60 case and I absolutely love it.
The problem is the yellow and black cable that comes with the 60 HE V2 module, do you know if the detachable Premium Cable Set is compatible ?
I think it is but i want to be sure about it.

Hey everybody!
I want to get the optimum keycaps set for the black 60he v2 does that go together?

Yes you’d need 2 sets, or buy something like pbtfans lyla for blank black keycaps

I want to gift my old 80HE to my younger brother, but I want him to have the best possible experience - similar to what I had when I tried the 60HE v2 out-of-the-box.

If you wanna tune them, I’d follow this video: https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8. if you don’t wanna tune them, I’d search for your stabilizer of preference and search for “Prelubed and wire balanced” (they will be more expensive if you go down this route)

Here is how I mod my stabilizers. I get asked this a lot of my streams and honestly, I figured why not just record this so I can link this video instead of having to re-explain it every time. I hope you enjoy it. Please remember this video is only covering lubing and installing, some stabs like cherry clip-ins, you'll need to clip the bottom leg...

Is the stabilizers the main thing ?

#

Like, I love the out-of-box feel of 60HE V2

#

fact its so tight, minimal wobble

#

way less then my 80HE

do I just get the Lekker Tikkens ?

Has anyone disassembled the friction fit and put it back yet on their v2? Just wondering how hard it is

#

Don't wanna fuck up if I have to do it.

I have assembled and disassembled every piece of it. I didn’t consider any of it hard, and Wooting has great videos on YouTube.
Is there any particular part of the process you’re worried about?

humble surge
mental gyro
warped glade
#

It’s super easy - you won’t have any problem

#

Only quirky things I remember are that there’s one screw hidden under the tape on the bottom so you will have to peel that tape back to get it apart. And IIRC on the diagram on the tape there’s a screw that’s mislabeled as a stabilizer screw.

Can anyone help me assemble my stabilisers they keep falling off

mental gyro
#

is the website wrong?

#

i mean i need to remove a tab switch on the left, do i even need to unscrew all screws? could i get away with just the left side + quickly sticking a finger to pop up one switch?

i feel like that would make things super easy lol

#

Remove stabilizer keycaps, unscrew 8 screws on the back of the PCB, lift the plate and pull the switch

#

then reassemble

mental gyro
#

i see hes grabbing it on the top and bottom edges so doesnt look like it matters to remove keycaps if i dont wanna remove all switches

warped glade
#

And you use the tool included with your keyboard to pull the module from the case (after you unplug it obviously)

sacred elm
mental gyro
#

oh ok

#

i mean im still debting whether i wanna return or just do this fix

#

does opening it up void my return?

sacred elm
#

No

mental gyro
#

doesnt void warranty i know at least

sacred elm
#

If you don't damage anything obviously.

mental gyro
#

ye thats my worry

#

i thought removing switches was easy cus i had two other boards where it was easy

#

and this one was holy ok

#

i guess he switches need to be stable so it makes sense

sacred elm
#

Some switches are hard to remove

#

You can't really damage anything, just follow the video and you'll be fine

mental gyro

alright and pushing the switch from back is easier i guess

gonna see

Okays so the left side is the correct thanks guys. I mean both work but i wasnt sure as there is a tec logo on one side and a HE on the other 😅

Technically, you can flip it left 90 degrees to have the Tec logo on top, and HE on the bottom.
But it doesnt matter, just aesthetics

too big? or too long

too big

#

3.8mm diameter is too large

it seems

austere creek

cause its 2mm diameter

3.8 is just the head which is fine

m2 basically means 2mm diameter on the thread outer and 0.4mm pitch i think

so similar to owlabs case in that the plate will have holes for both positions

abs keycap wall is thiner

#

most of them arent double shot

hardy harness
#

Is there a certain budget you’re going for ?

astral fox
#

no

#

wtv feels nice and stays nice

candid bramble
#

iirc

#

they sell dye sub pbt on their store

#

but all stock wooting come with abs

#

at least thats what i am looking at

astral fox
#

but they are double shot

candid bramble
#

yea

#

pbt

astral fox
#

so i have pbt

candid bramble
#

the stock abs keycap no

astral fox
#

my keycaps are double shot

glacial wind
#

different prebuilts have different options just fyi.

candid bramble
#

yea if it like white inside is most likely pbt

glacial wind
#

for example our stock 80he ansi is indeed doubleshot pbt

astral fox
#

so my wasd are shiny and i wanna find some keycaps that don’t do that

#

and feel nice and stay nice

candid bramble
#

yea if u change the keycap before

and bought something from amazon

hardy harness
candid bramble
#

it most likely pbt

candid bramble
#

they are 150 buck a set on avg

#

and they are abs

#

save them for nicer builds

astral fox
glacial wind
#

you have to find brands with high pbt content, tricky thing is you never know how high pbt content each brand uses as far as shine goes

astral fox
#

okay

candid bramble
#

i didnt know that lmao

glacial wind
#

if you want nice budget sets, fbb on aliexpress has an official shop that has nice cheap keycaps with thick pbt

candid bramble
#

^

#

but beware of space bar wrap

astral fox
#

i don’t want budget

#

my budget is infinite

candid bramble
#

can we have 7u space bar on wooting 80he

#

if they make a v2 of that

astral fox
#

can we get a wooting 200he

#

2 keyboards next to each other

#

for dual gaming

cloud crane
#

Lmao

#

CRP PBT keycaps are endgame pbt but mostly just white or beige

#

I think keyreative has some black pbt keycaps

astral fox
#

clear keycaps on the wooting?

candid bramble
#

only hammerwork

#

is making them?

#

i havent kept up with caps at all

cloud crane
#

There's cheaper dye sub options too like XMI, JC Studio

#

Colours even more limited tho

#

Oh and GMK MTNU profile is pbt so maybe that

glacial wind
#

ah a good day. TTC Horsies on the way and cf split plate at last

My new case and switches have been shipped #hype

A happy day for all

little glen
#

Considering getting alu plates for 80he and gt60

lunar sand
#

I got a FR4 for my 80HE, arriving soon finally.
My GT60 Pro has Alu, but wanted FR4 too ( i really prefer after testing all of them ) ... but i don't find any available unless i get the GT60 Pro+ ... which, like ... it would be weird 😄
Do you know where we can get some GT60 plates? 🙂

#

or GT60 as in, the case 🙂

glacial wind
#

gt60 is only kdbfans options. If you want anything else you'd have to order from a custom plate website basically

fallen pecan
#

i think he meant the gateron gt60 pcb not the case

glacial wind
#

oh

#

right that explains the pro stuff lol

#

you'll have to ask gateron folks, almost none of us have gt60 here

#

i'm sure there's custom plates on taobao/aliexpress though

fallen pecan
#

the same shop for the split cf sells plates for gateron gt60, he just needs to search for it

lunar sand
#

lol ... dang, it's inverted

#

but yeah this hobby sucks

#

2 wootings on the right ... GT60Pro in the middle, Razer on the top left and Nuphy on the bottom left ...

#

just to say, i was talking about GT60Pro but of course i'm here because it all started with the wooting 60HE 😄

little glen
#

I‘m gonna have to buy custom plates from someone to cut them for me

#

Aint noone out there selling split iso 60he v2 plates with gt60 compatibility

little glen
#

There‘s like maybe 2 potential customers kekw

lunar sand
#

so you were talking about the case

#

yeah ... the plates for the v2

#

are totally different

little glen
#

Probably need to wait for the platefile to be released

lunar sand
#

Did you go from the v1 to the v2 (60HE) ?

glacial wind
#

yeah that's always been issue with custom plate cases. In that you get screwed if they don't offer the plate for the format you want

little glen
#

Nah i went straight to the v2 and replaced my venom with it pretty much

#

Venom build i gave to my brother

lunar sand
#

ahhh ok ...

glacial wind
#

zoom64 we've been able to get it to fit friction fit mounted at least though, but not sure how exact that fit is until i get hands on it

little glen
#

My main keyboard is still the 80he tho

#

Just prefer the slightly larger layout

lunar sand
#

yeah, mine too

little glen
#

Also have an fr4 plate on it

lunar sand
#

yeah, i only got one now

#

did you get one from Ali ?

#

or from a different source?

little glen
#

Had to get a custom cause ISO

lunar sand
#

Ahhhh right

little glen
#

None of the ali sellers sold iso at the time

lunar sand
#

I bought an ANSI just because of keycaps shortage in Portuguese 😄

little glen
lunar sand
#

What?!

#

really ?

#

weird ... never had any issue shipping stuff to PT

#

and since its EU ... i thought it would be the same for all

little glen
#

My speculation on that is due to some german rule on eco friendly packaging

#

I could have someone order from me from the netherlands and take it over the border if i really wanted to

#

But its a little bit more work which means if i dont really really want something i just wont get it from ali

lunar sand
#

yeah totally and if you have someone that have a CNC machine that can do the cuts

#

it's more about finding the right material with the right thickness

little glen
#

There are services out there like hypekeyboards that specialize in it

#

And they can verify if everything looks good about your plate file etc before making it

Can't wait for wooting knobs :3

man keytok switches are so crazy pricing after shipping

#

even with discount i can only get it down to 1.50 or so per switch lol

fallen pecan
#

i'm at 1.35 per before shipping

#

cheapest i can get ttc horses is a dollar per

humble surge
fallen pecan
#

TB

humble surge
#

Like their original 10 piece link?

fallen pecan
#

yep

humble surge
#

gotcha

#

1.43 for me, but i never really looked it on a per switch basis or in USD really

fallen pecan
#

the benchmark is a dollar, so anything above is in premium territory

#

for example my fav switch is the ur ice ultra, i can get those down to ~$0.17 per switch

#

great great value

glacial wind
#

hrm i can't find that old ttc horse sound test they did

#

for some reason it's disappeared from their socials

#

but it's so soft in this one that i can't hear much

#

i also still can't find anything that says if white and black sound different or if it's purely just color

#

from a few random chinese tests i found i think they sound different maybe, but can't tell if it's just position in the keyboard or there's a legit different in sound for the two colors

velvet summit
#

Anyone try out ws flux deep clacky switches ?

south swallow
#

any carbon plates for the 60hev2?

glacial wind
#

yeah but you need to use taobao and ask them to make it basically

south swallow
#

i will try and have a look into it thank you

glacial wind
#

okay ordered some keytok nova finally

#

had to buy from taobao off a reseller because even their taobao official store refuses to ship to korea

fallen pecan
#

was it "in外设“?

glacial wind
#

yeah

sacred elm
fallen pecan
#

they run the yt channel with the same name

glacial wind
#

btw do you know what happened to the ttc horse sound test videos?

#

they all disappeared

#

even the mini short video they posted with the horses

fallen pecan
#

the press release got taken down i think

glacial wind
#

so strange

fallen pecan
#

yeah but you coud just ask your ttc contact no?

#

for spec diffs and stuff

glacial wind
#

yeah don't want to bother them now cause it's late

cloud crane
#

Bother em tmr

glacial wind
#

when i asked they just said different stem lol

glacial bear
#

Anyone know of some red/white keycaps? Im getting a 60he v2 module with split bar and throwing it in a red tofu 60

glacial wind
#

so i don't know what they mean by different stem, it could mean just different color stem

#

or it could mean different blend stem

fallen pecan
#

from what i rmb from the press release there was no mention of a functional dif between the 2 colors

#

just that they're launching on their respective prebuilts by melgeek and angry miao

glacial wind
#

i hope it's the same because i got 36 of the black and 36 of the white, so half the keyboard will sound different if so lol

#

taishan gt pink finally hit aliexpress so i got some of those too

fallen pecan
#

heard good things about those, but not interested in taishan, didnt pick any up myself

glacial wind
#

yeah the last taishans sounded awful so i don't hold much hope for this just cause of material change

#

the weird thing also is all the sound tests on bilibili are gone too

#

from 3rd parties

fallen pecan
#

those are still there

glacial wind
#

i found only one single really bad quality one

#

and the rest are people just at press conference lightly pressing single switch

fallen pecan
#

theres one at the press conference that switched from black to white and they sounded very similar

#

lm see if i can find it

glacial wind
#

at end he has right with black and left with white

#

because his audio is so bad i'm pretty sure the difference i hear is just the mic is further on one side lol

humble surge
fallen pecan
glacial wind
#

i wish his audio wasn't so bad so i could tell if white or black are any different lol

glacial wind
#

it's hard to sell them in western market

#

they have to be really universally insane for people in western market to buy

fallen pecan
glacial wind
#

yeah does some similar there

#

although 2 different keyboards

#

oh well i guess i'll find out whenever they arrive

fallen pecan
humble surge
#

Which reseller had Novas with more than 10 per boxes?

glacial wind
#

none

chilly mural
#

can't really tell with the sound outside and the fact that the keyboard is different in 2 different places.

glacial wind
#

i assume it has to be same sound because otherwise surely they would say something about white vs black material somewhere

#

i had my first aliexpress failed order other day, but it just was vendor took way too long to ship so i guess aliexpress got angry at them and then gave them -marks and they got angry and cancelled order after shipping

#

but then aliexpress just gave me money back instantly

glacial wind
#

yeah not my problem, i didn't even complain lol

#

i just got random email from aliexpress saying they do not tolerate this behaviour and have penalised the vendor

broken notch
#

Btw Embolia, I picked up UFOs as well :3

glacial wind
#

but does mean i have to wait another 2 weeks now to get kailh ice creams

lunar sand
#

How are the UFOs? Worth the high praise and cost ?

glacial wind
#

top tier if stability is your main concern. Mixed opinion if feel is your concern because they're vice grip level tight

#

sound is good, quite clean

#

hrm ttc said they're sending me the gift package edition of the horses whatever that means. So i think it just comes in a nicer package

humble surge
#

I'm trialing some Novas for a few days now, they are really growing on me.

broken notch
#

I was debating novas but

#

The hassle to get them is too much for me

#

Whereas the UFOs I just straight up ordered from their site

humble surge
#

It is a hassle, i don't recommend it, until some seller starts providing it with good price and 80-90 packs

#

But it's surprisingly good, just as stable and even more quiet, pleasant sound.

glacial wind
#

keytok is doomed to be hard sell outside of niche enthusiast community

#

way too annoying to be at 10 packs at that pricing

humble surge
#

It is

cyan lark
#

Sorry a bit early in the morning even for me for that kinda horse action

humble surge
#

I'm now wondering what else to get, what were all the new switches? horses and what else?

glacial wind
#

gateron should have some soon

#

with their mag lev switch and possibly full pom jade ultra

humble surge
#

not buying any gateron, anything else?

glacial wind
#

and ttc have a quiet switch that is still in the works

glacial wind
#

that was supposed to launch awhile ago

humble surge
#

thats horses or something else Jabber?

glacial wind
fallen pecan
humble surge
#

okay

#

I think i'll try both of those if i find a link

glacial wind
#

all i know is it adds up to 36 white and 36 black horses lol

humble surge
#

But i swear i recall we had several new switches a few weeks ago showcased, nothing else released yet?

broken notch
#

@humble surge I'm trying to remember where we talked before. Either diablo or path of exile

broken notch
#

Yup

glacial wind
#

it always comes in waves with switches

lunar sand
#

anyone tried the new TTC Flip KOM ?

glacial wind
#

we'll get nothing new for a bit then suddenly one wave of switches comes out

humble surge
#

I have no idea, i don't have any Diable or PoE Discords

glacial wind
lunar sand
#

oh

glacial wind
#

they're basically ttc kom but now actually lubed from factory, so sound is improved

humble surge
#

I get the waves, but what else released alongside Horses in the last month?

lunar sand
#

i looked at it last week and didn't see it ... maybe i was crosseye'd already 😄

humble surge
#

i'M ready to test more

glacial wind
#

ttc 'released' switches but didn't release them

humble surge
#

aha

#

wasn't the flip KoM thing also new?

glacial wind
#

yeah it was

lunar sand
glacial wind
#

but that one actually got released right away, but not huge amount of hype because it's literally just ttc kom but lubed in sound/feel

glacial wind
humble surge
#

Passable then? you already tested?

glacial wind
#

yeah they're already sound tested in the database

humble surge
#

yeah okay then, i'll skip those

glacial wind
#

they're the best ttc switch out right now because it's actually lubed from factory, but it's nothing amazing over the other top switches like wuque deep clack etc

#

i'm expecting horses will dethrone them but that's just guessing until mine arrive

oak jewel
#

Whats the consensus on switches rn, still wuque dc at the top?

humble surge
#

Thats okay, i guess i'll just get horses

glacial wind
#

in general yeah, still wuque at top for overall switch

#

but new wave is incoming so we'll see

humble surge
#

I wanted to order a sample of XVX Snows and Pink Lotuses aswell, but i have to wait a few days, but it's better to get all of this before Chinese New Year, wouldn't want to wait until late March or May for silly shipments.

glacial wind
#

oh i have snows already

#

they're just tecsee

#

but see through

humble surge
#

I wanna try it, they seemed interesting for months

oak jewel
#

Jed, thoughts on sending me everything you have extra in exchange for eternal gratitude?

fallen pecan
#

here's a list of most of the switches in a tier list by some guy on bili

glacial wind
oak jewel
#

2 entire eternal gratitudes then

glacial wind
#

but i also don't have much extra stuff lol

#

i usually just order 35 or so, so not even for full board unless i think it's something special

I know some people who dislike tikkens

glacial wind

what is the pause switch

humble surge
#

Lovely, my GMK Dune got cancelled. Damn rats.

cloud crane
fallen pecan
glacial wind
#

ah

#

tikkens are fine but i think super enthusiast HE folk won't like them because they're not min/max for stability nor the sharp sound

fallen pecan
#

their only encapsulated mag switch, but not decoupled like the polars

#

so baiscally kailh's flip koms

glacial wind
#

ah so it's kailhs version of the fully closed

cloud crane
fallen pecan
#

new new switch that has barely any coverage, was selling on douyin for 0.3 yuan

cloud crane
#

Wow mad cheap

fallen pecan
#

yea and apparently is solid too

cloud crane
#

Any info on that?

fallen pecan
#

msrp is 0.4 yuan i think

cloud crane

Like materials and stuff

fallen pecan
#

nope

cloud crane

I see

fallen pecan

only 1 vid on bili

glacial wind
#

i'm still waiting for the other version of ttc fully enclosed

chilly mural
#

ehh, hard to trust, at least it's very cheap

glacial wind
#

the one that's not just the stem but whole structure

fallen pecan
#

ah the inverted flip koms

#

no news on those

glacial wind
#

the current flip kom are just improved sound but that's it mostly for me

#

rest still feels like standard kom switch

#

i'm curious if their other one feels different since it's whole structure changed

fallen pecan
#

Not my ss

humble surge
#

Do we have horsie link?

fallen pecan
#

they're selling on TB now

glacial wind
#

horsies are already on ttc official stores

#

both aliexpress and english site

#

their red one they haven't shown any photo of, i assume it's their 'quiet' switch

humble surge
#

not buying from Ali, unreasonably priced, sticking to TB if i can

It's been rather annoying not being able to browse TB since December and having to ask for links.

glacial wind
#

are those kailh fully sealed for sale yet? I haven't seen them on kailh's store

glacial wind
#

yeah their year of the x switches are always crazy pricy

#

at least $1 a switch normally

fallen pecan
humble surge
#

It's okay, Nova pricing

#

Much appreciated drip

#

o7

#

Now just to figure out what are the version differences and what i want to get lol

fallen pecan
#

just 3: basic, serialized and rgb

glacial wind
#

og is if you feel like spending extra $100

humble surge
#

No i mean like understanding what are their differences

#

So theres New Year Edition and OG it seems

glacial wind
#

og is literally just "i want the limited number on my switch" basically

#

and a horseshoe on top

humble surge
#

Pictures showed something changing internally, so idk how accurate that is

glacial wind
#

nah no difference internally

#

this shows it better

#

basically OG is number + horseshoe, limited new year is horseshoe and rgb is just the switch as normal

humble surge
#

Hmm weird, i only see two versions on this link

glacial wind
#

scroll down until you see the full diagrams

#

first one is og, second limited new year edition, third is normal rgb

#

the red text is what is 'special' for the 2 special ones

tulip rapids
# cyan lark Gm

gm and ty im definitely getting the coloredcolored accents

glacial wind
tulip rapids
#

couldn't decide if I wanted the novelties or the accents for this set

humble surge
#

I mean't theres only two on the TB link, i saw the bilibili differences

glacial wind
#

ah, yeah some tb stores only sell certain ones as it's limited stock right now

#

even ttc didn't have enough to just send me a full pack of one, so that's why i ended up with 36 black and 36 white lol

humble surge
#

I guess their main site is showing only RGB and OG differences with pictures showing differing internals, like that red is completely missing and side by side you can see some other pieces looking different aswell.

#

I don't know if i trust that means it will feel/sound and behave the same.

glacial wind
#

they do this every year

#

it's the same thing

#

it's their thing when it comes to new chinese calender year switches

#

it's always a regular version then some special editions that sound the same but have cosmetic stuff like numbering

humble surge
#

But i guess for the sake of completeness i would want OGs and RGBs and then to compare, both on both colors.

glacial wind
#

i mean you could but it's way pricier lol

humble surge
#

except .(

glacial wind
#

like ttc still hold record for most expensive switches with their og

#

literally $200 level

rough hedge
#

Never got the special numbering and codes on switches. Is that a big thing in china?

humble surge
#

5 pieces each, doesn't matter

glacial wind
#

oh you're only buying 5

#

guess it doesn't matter much then

humble surge
#

Yeah to test

glacial wind
humble surge
#

no need to get 360 switches without knowing more first

rough hedge
fallen pecan
#

ah shit i misremembered, the Rests were by Huano not Kailh

humble surge
#

Did they send you 36-36 OGs? i can't find RGB anywhere

cyan lark
fallen pecan
#

evil ahh switch

humble surge
#

Same thing just different advertising?

glacial wind
#

just rgb as far as i know

#

it's blurry so i can't see well, but i assume it's rgb since i don't see a horseshoe on top

#

i wasn't really bothered though since i don't want to request any limited editions anyway, they barely have enough to send to influencers right now i think

tulip rapids
chilly mural
humble surge
#

Idk, it shows plenty in stock for OG and CNY version, but if it truly means no difference then who cares

#

Can't find any RGB tho

tulip rapids
#

the reason I want the novelties is for the r4 controller themed row

humble surge
glacial wind
#

it's black horse but better lighting lol

#

or worse lighting depending on how you look at it

#

looks cooler though

fallen pecan
#

just serialized black horses, the year of the horse keeb is limited to 2026 units

humble surge
#

Looks more evil for sure

#

okay cool, cause i saw that collab on that bilibili page, but that was a little unclear due to the differing advert aesthetic

glacial wind
#

i'm fairly sure their rgb are new, as in they made the og/ny version first and now are making more rgb since it's the non limited one

humble surge
#

I guess i come back to these in a few days, Aliexpress still processing 3 refunds and i need to find RGB version sourcing

glacial wind
#

rgb i think they only just started stocking because ttc were supposed to send me some awhile back but only just got stock to send me

#

honestly i think they're making so much stuff that they're at max capacity trying to make all these sku right now

#

that's how it seems since they're so behind on the switches they announced even, like the ttc kom v2 full enclosed and silent switch
