#

We make a list of popular switches and basically add them in batches right now

mossy river
#

oh

#

lucky that my magneto rgb there

glacial wind
#

Incoming batch will be jade ultra and a few other current popular ones like Wuque deep clack, mmd c1, etc, then batch after will be the recent wave of switches like ttc flip, ttc horse, ufo, whatever else comes out in the next month

#

i havent been keeping track of magnetic switches

#

been out of the know for half a year

#

0 idea what ANY of those switches are

#

#

like what even is the ufo

#

does the switch selector just change the range, or is it actually measured for calibration data?

they look interesting

Bored of the stock 60HE/60HE+ case? Swap it over into on of our premium Alumaze60 cases or any other third party cases! Thankfuly the process is easy, and doesn't require a ton of tools. :)

can you recommend me where to find some, im in canada, and how to fix a hollow sounding spacebar, and what to put in the little bottom slivers 😃 .. sorry for asking a lot of questions, im new to this stuff

https://geon.works/products/geon-stem-spacer?variant=45263328379043 found some here, 0.5 mm and 0.4, does it matter which ones

GEONWORKS

Geon Stem Spacer This product is used on top of the stabilizer stem to balance the difference between long-pole switches (3.0~3.5mm travel) and stabilizers (4.0mm travel). It can also be placed on the switch stem to prevent interference between the keycap and the switch. Material: PlasticThickness : 0.4mm ±0.05 / 0.5mm

Reposting - you guys with splits need to go vote if you want the split plate option. They're considering adding it now:

Zoom64 Case Kit + 63 Flux switches (Babao Switches) From $125
Zoom64 Case Kit from $79
Zoom64 Barebone Kit from $115
(Note: The acrylic version will not be available at this launch.)

And we are currently gathering interest for a split spacebar layout plate! If you would like to see this layout supported in the future, please fill out the survey and share it with your friends!

holy fuck that's good

go vote yes if you want a split plate option

already immediately

glacial wind
#

babao is the ocean whisper isn't it?

#

it's also a chance for folks to get ocean whisper switches reasonably priced if so

chilly mural
glacial wind
#

we tested it internally and yeah it is. It's not 100% perfect fit but like 95% works

chilly mural
#

good enough

fallen pecan
#

ocean whisper not mentioned, babao is just flux in the CN market

#

but if the babao60he kit is the full set it should come with whispers

glacial wind
#

that will be very popular here if they offer both split plate and ocean whisper switches as a kit

#

especially at that price

fallen pecan
#

ye the 60he with switches go for 1299 yuan ~ 190 usd

glacial wind
#

i think i could easily see it become the new default modders pick for a lot of folks if case + set of ocean whisper switches is really just $125

fallen pecan
#

theyre selling 64pc off of boards for like 399 yuan the cheapest ive seen

#

the variety is actually steller

#

it seems like they are planning to actually do most of them, seeing that its a general ic and not per colour

they've always had really big variety for their colors. Even when they say they subject to interest they often end up doing most of them

robust siren
#

or can you get away with using a normal plate like on a gt-60

glacial wind
#

If you want their gasket mounting then need their plate

#

But it does seem to fit friction fit, although maybe not 100% perfect fit

mental gyro
#

For the people that opened their 60 v2 did you manage to unscrew the mid bottom screw without damaging the tape?

glacial wind
#

Yeah just flip the tape up a tad

#

do it gently and you should be fine

mental gyro
#

I may or may not want to return so I don't wanna damage it

#

Need to get out my custom switches lol

#

If I damage the tape I'm fucked can't return it right? 😵‍💫

glacial wind
#

Huh? What would return have to do with tape mod

#

Also I’m confused why are you unscrewing this for switch changing

#

oh i see you're testing stuff, yeah just be aware even changing switches perfectly will leave marks on plate and such

#

just the nature of tight fitting things into material. Plates develop scuffs and marks every time you swap switches

mental gyro
#

I put in owlabs basically and removing them with the switch puller is nigh impossible so I wanna disassemble

broken notch
#

Here we go!

mental gyro
#

But I'm also potentially looking to return the keyboard without my 30 day window

#

So I'm kinda cooked maybe cus there way to do it "undamaged"

#

I think at least

glacial wind
#

might be able to push them out from plate if you disassemble everything, but even that leaves marks on the inside normally

mental gyro
#

I even asked support if I could return it with owlabs and take a loss, but they kinda said no

#

Understandable

glacial wind
#

plates just naturally get scuffed a bit

mental gyro
#

Ye but I assume that voids my return cus well it's damaged

glacial wind
#

you'd have to ask support about that, i'm not fully sure on the rules there as I don't work in that department

mental gyro
#

I'll ask it back ye

Hey guys, maybe a stupid question, but are the tikken switches compatible with the lekker switch pring packs? And if so, does it negatively impact their sound/ performance? I finally would like to go for an upgrade from my lekker45 v1's and havent found good alternatives that are both light, sound good/have minimal wobble and dont completely break the bank

The switches are already 3.4mm so less travel distance than the full 4mm the last thing I would want is the springs to be lighter

just me or these 2 sound almost identical

fluid ravine
#

i can hear the minor difference

#

but they're pretty much the same

#

i think specs wise as well

#

AGS Radiant HE
Top: PA12
Stem: POM
Bottom: P2

#

nvm

fluid ravine
glacial wind
#

They're basically same sound just like crystal HE again

fluid ravine
#

but where the hell is the astrolink spec sheet

#

material*

glacial wind
#

the special fiberglass bottom thing just doesn't seem to add any new sound signature to hmx's switches

fluid ravine
fluid ravine
#

like we can obviously put them in the same category of clack

#

but i can still hear the difference

#

but i still stand by my statement that astrolink is still slightly sharper than AGS

#

@glacial wind all the mic settings and volume are the same with each recording right?

#

or atleast you try to make sure it is?

glacial wind
#

yep literally down to the mic distance

#

it's all identical

#

there's a very minor difference but like crystal he it's so minor that basically no average person will notice

fluid ravine
#

ok well ima just like tell my thoughts on comparison just from based from what im hearing out of my ears and yeah i agree average person can't even hear the difference anyways

glacial wind
#

sometimes the camera angle shifts slightly but my mic and recording setup is permanently on a measured setup directly above middle of keyboard via pole rig

fluid ravine
#

Crystal and AGS are basically identical, but i think that the volume overall on the crystal is slightly a smidge louder than AGS but again no one can even fricking tell. Sound profile same across the board here.

Astrolink however, again i still stand by my statement, it's sharper than the both. I think I would notice it more, but average person, not really.

glacial wind
fluid ravine

it's sick

broken notch

I've been working on a chill Jurassic PArk keycap set :3 The bottom is scuffed rn, but yeah, the edges will be touched up etc, but this is the rough idea

robust siren
glacial wind
#

i think volume is a tricky one too because spring weight or how you feel that day can change how hard you bottom out keys too. which is why i decided not to include noise level meters on my sound tests

fluid ravine
#

good point there

#

spring length and spring weight can def change the volume of the switch

glacial wind
#

sometimes you're just on an off day too with typing and it can change how hard you even press the keys lol

fluid ravine
#

lol

#

then theres day where you become apart of the speed force

glacial wind
#

the most noticable though is when spring weights/distance change a lot, then it REALLY affects how well you can type

#

like i've done back to back sound tests before where i've had to record the sample 10-15x times because my hands stop being able to type properly mid recording due to the weights feeling so different

fluid ravine
glacial wind
#

you just get used to whatever is your norm, then when it changes too much it really messes with your typing feel

60g to 40g would kill me

Are stabilisers even worth replacing? I feel like they have minimal impact beyond lubing?

fallen pecan
#

if you get something like the ttc one, you won't hear the wire slamming into the housng if you spam the spacebar a lot

whereas designer studio has a flex piece under the wire that pushes up all the time so the wire is always in contact

#

tho it's known to break off after a while, or if you mess with it a lot

glacial wind
#

hrm what to put as my 3rd rgb recommendation

#

right now we have mmd c1, thunderflash white for 2

#

oh maybe nova

#

i need my novas to arrive to confirm how they feel though

fallen pecan
#

ice ultra clears

glacial wind
#

oh right ice ultra is a good one to add

#

can put that until i figure out wtf to do with novas

fallen pecan
#

kailh jellyfish is also fully clear, dont think you have those tho

glacial wind
#

yeah i don't really want to add the rarer/trickier to find stuff since this list is for normies

#

oh actually those unionwell xueyao are quite good for just basic rgb

fallen pecan
#

xue yao and jing yao

glacial wind
#

snow jade or whatever the name translates to

fallen pecan
#

but those have opaque bottoms iirc

glacial wind
#

ah right it is opaque at bottom

#

actually it's probably a ttc horse rgb angle now that i think about it

fallen pecan
#

if you can get ocean whispers readily in the future, those too

glacial wind
#

i'm a bit bummed they chose not to include ocean whisper with zoom64 options

#

unless you buy the he pcb with it

fallen pecan
#

i saw the demo kits on bili, they only got flux alphas

glacial wind
#

oh right there's taishan gt pink too now

#

but those are still on the way so i need to test them still

robust pendant
#

i have a small number of raptor v2s and i'm thinking instead of going with mmd c1s cuz they're so cheap and have better rgb

is the stability on the c1s still worthwhile and stuffs

glacial wind
#

either is a good switch

#

c1 is less stable but it's still good for a regular stem

#

if you're really concerned about bottom stability you could look at phylina thunderflash white

#

those are fully clear housing and more stable + still very cheap

robust pendant
#

primary concern is top stability.. like

#

i also have a few gateron sparks and resting your finger on the wrong part of the keycap can actuate the switch if actuation is low enough

#

altho that's a B tier for top

glacial wind
#

yeah gateron sparks have split stem so they're naturally slightly loose on top press

robust pendant
#

also as a gd player (yes i admit) the raptor v2 i play with is able to be pushed in like 0.2mm beyond its bottom out which i think is weird

glacial wind
#

ttc horse rgb switches potentially great rgb switch too, but very few of us have tested it yet as it's brand new

robust pendant

Alright so playing around with the recommendations i think it'll probably end up roughly like this, but I need to test ttc horse myself and see how it compares vs flip kom

oops forgot to crop it

#

there we go

broken notch
#

UFO on the front page, letsa goooo

glacial wind
#

owlab you could sidegrade with any of the crystal he/ags radiant he/raptor v2 variants at this stage probably, but it's just preference based

#

i moved jade ultra and spark to fully compatible now too, since we have them in switch selector

chilly mural
#

Still waiting for the tecsee to be on switch selector

glacial wind
#

yeah it's a pity we couldn't add it. I think it's going to be same problem with all of the silent switches

robust pendant
glacial wind
#

we think once we get some other accuracy updates in then maybe we can make it work, but the silent switches are just a nightmare to have tight accuracy models for (i assume due to the dampening issues)

glacial wind
#

like i said potentially it could be a swap owlab out for raptor/ags/astrolink/crystal he angle, but i'm not sure if that's an upgrade for overall pick or not

#

could also be a jade ultra goes out and raptor/ags replace it, so stability would be ufo + ttc horse/flip + raptor/ags

#

but not sure yet. I need to wait for horses to arrive to decide and test them better

#

feels like if you want that s/s stability though that most would go ufo over raptor unless they're on budget now

broken notch
#

This could be the greatest but also the worst thing ever :p

#

Guys I haven't been checking this discord for aaaaages since I was an early 60he adopter and have basically been happy with my build since
I'd be interested to know if anyone in here has played around with the friction fit pad, possibly in the hibi June case?

robust siren
#

got the WS Flux Mobius (OG Flux recolor), UR Ice Ultras, Kois, AGS Radiants

upbeat delta
#

My June has a slight misalignment to one of the standoff inserts so the PCB gets pushed to one side more than the other, and the friction pad looks like it would solve that because it more or less forces the PCB to be centered in the case
