[chilly mural]

exactly. If you can bring that in, you can bring 3 keyboard cases in

[robust siren]

everything for a keyboard except for a pcb

[chilly mural]

also gives a nice motivation to meet relative and see their hometown.

[robust siren]

i waked more in hong kong compared to japan (one day high)

[chilly mural]

yay

[robust siren]

i already miss how clean japans bathrooms are

and its only going to get worse going back to new york 💔

[chilly mural]

There's only 1 solution, bring Japan bathrooms to NY

bathroom modding time

[random dagger]

cf + foam gasket from keyboardman + lubed raptor v2s is such a nice combo

[trail bane]

O hell nah

[humble surge]

red is out?

[tulip rapids]

bakka 60 😭

[lunar sand]

Question. Why are Rakka boards so well considered ? Just want to understand what makes them special and why I should look more into them ehehe

[trail bane]

Yes

[humble surge]

fck, can you fix?

[trail bane]

By myself- no

[azure kayak]

any reccomendations for coiled cables for 8k polling?

[trail bane]

Cuz i don’t have stuff to solder it back

[humble surge]

I gave up on coiled ngl

Just got a fancy 8k straight

[tulip rapids]

wooting

[solar tundra]

Bro Gravastar Ufo Switches are the GOATS for me

Like 0 fkin Wobble

[humble surge]

yep

[solar tundra]

V2 Split too now

And they Purple

And Sound is fire too

IMMA 😩😩😩😩

[humble surge]

🙂‍↕️

[tulip rapids]

but they heavy bruh

[trail bane]

Pro

[cyan lark]

A cheap iron and some solder is all you need, doesn’t cost much to get started

[humble surge]

Poor dinner table

[loud zephyr]

you could do without the fan just to clear up space

[cyan lark]

Yeah temporary setup, got a plan for the spring

[cyan lark]

No I like my lungs lead free

[loud zephyr]

[cyan lark]

Sorry that happened to you lander, I’ve had to fix those dainty little cables breaking off like that so many times

[tulip rapids]

what ya doing

[trail bane]

Yeah, such stupidity. Is there any list of stuff that i definitely need to solder those wires back?

cuz THIS looks like too much for just a little cable

[fluid ravine]

LOOK WHO'S VELLA HAS A RRIVEDDD

[humble surge]

👏

[loud zephyr]

I hope the case is empty

[humble surge]

I hope it has atleast some small colored rocks

[trail bane]

y'all so evil

[solar tundra]

Heavy?

[tulip rapids]

yeah bro they heavy king

[fluid ravine]

@stoic ocean

[tulip rapids]

what pcb you putting into this?

[stoic ocean]

Yo black looks clean

[solar tundra]

wym with heavy

like heavy springs or

[tulip rapids]

@tropic urchin

[fluid ravine]

Benom

[fluid ravine]

Hell yrah

Building it rn

Retiring froggy :c

[tulip rapids]

im just playing around

[fluid ravine]

Um Houston

We got a problem

[solar tundra]

bro they are crazy

What Switches you got

[fluid ravine]

I don't have the proper jst cable

WTF

[tulip rapids]

the deep clack fluxes

[fluid ravine]

Why didn't they provide one wth

I'm cooked

What the fuk

[cyan lark]

Just various projects. Recently been fixing up old N64 hardware

[tulip rapids]

doing honest work

[cyan lark]

Iron, solder, and some solder wick is probably good to pick up.

[thorn zealot]

Does the one with the venom not work

[fluid ravine]

The one I got is for the fly daughterboatd

Now I need to use the square one coming from the venom for this case

But I dont have a cable for it cus I never got one

[thorn zealot]

Can’t u use the cable from the fly db or nah

[trail bane]

Are they deadass?

[fluid ravine]

Nah

[tropic urchin]

bands suffered enough man

[fluid ravine]

Though I must say this case makes the board sound more poppy hold on-

It's not as resonate as the froggy

[trail bane]

Didn't they even include the correct cable and daughterboard in the box?

[fluid ravine]

Nope

[trail bane]

That's hella fucked

[fluid ravine]

100%

[thorn zealot]

The case doesn’t come with a jst cable for some reason

[trail bane]

loll

[fluid ravine]

Fuhkk

Idk where to buy the cable

I need a jst to jst

I have the ezmate to jst rn

For fly db

This is so bad

FAKKKKK

[solar tundra]

oh cool

[thorn zealot]

I think geon has one

But i don’t think $40 shippin for a cable shorter than flaccid weiners is worth

[humble surge]

@solar tundra don't mind Goku, he is heavy

[fluid ravine]

Exactly

Divinikey is out of stock

For a while now

So I'm COOKED

Cant use the case

[humble surge]

exactly how i felt about wiredin, 75 EUR for such a short cable, yeah doesn't seem like an optimal blind buy

[fluid ravine]

Thank the LORD to cannonkeys

I just ordered one

I sent bowl keys and email to make a disclaimer about the case not coming with a JST to JST cable on their site

Or at least tell them that it will come with one of you order the venom pcb along side it

@stoic ocean you should be fine btw. Since you ordered the venom pcb it should come with a JST cable

[thorn zealot]

Doesn’t it only come with the ezmate one

Not the one u need

Or did u just get unlucky and not get the normal one

[fluid ravine]

I contacted bowl keys and they said they provide one

If you order the pcb

Along side the case

I got EZmate from ordering the frog mini

[thorn zealot]

Yeah I would get the vella or gehrin60

But idc abt how my he sounds rn

[tulip rapids]

i like it pink

[tulip rapids]

sounds like you know from experience

[humble surge]

Ofcourse, i watched tons of DBZ

[tulip rapids]

calm down wakeup9/11

next mouse i'll use your shark creator code

[humble surge]

you okay buddy? can't take a joke?

[tulip rapids]

im calm wdym

oh the moment i mention the atk creator code thats where we get angry

[tulip rapids]

wheres the sound test and pics?

[humble surge]

i'm not angry at all, i'm surprised you are so sour and hostile, but so be it

[tulip rapids]

sounds like youre projecting

no need to continue this sour convo i already told you i would use the creator code

[tulip rapids]

clean af

[tropic urchin]

ngl

if that was silverweave CF on a silver vella, i would consider converting to 60% sheeeeeeesh

[fluid ravine]

[tropic urchin]

i would consider that thought

[fluid ravine]

[tropic urchin]

I see why you were mad at me for that 40 dolla

[fluid ravine]

I forgot why I needed it

[tropic urchin]

wasnt it for that build

[fluid ravine]

OH

Right

lol

[ruby compass]

Has anyone painted a twoHE? Looking for tips on what type of paint to use on the shell

[white solar]

Hi everyone, did any of you build a 60he v2 x holy60 case?

[fluid ravine]

Handful of us have

[tulip rapids]

simba been through a lot

😭

[stoic ocean]

@fluid ravine mine's coming... actually I don't know lol

goddamn it, it's when I have this damn keyboard

I hope it comes next week.

[tropic urchin]

@fluid ravine do you know of a plastic plate similar to POM (for poppiness), but louder?

[thorn zealot]

Pp or pei

[tropic urchin]

I do have PP but that one felt like it had weird hot spots on the board

[thorn zealot]

Ultem too

[white solar]

Is that a V2?

[loud zephyr]

that is one big banana

[stray tiger]

My buddy is designing a new board and came over today to see if it will work with an HE PCB and it was a success (pink one). GMK Abstract looked great on it and then I rebuilt one of the Derivative HE's and put Abstract on it.

[trail bane]

Gn

[proud marsh]

Ye

[proud marsh]

Sexy

[little glen]

looks very good

[solar tundra]

He is

[solar tundra]

Only for you coming in

[tulip rapids]

yes dear

[solar tundra]

Need to get some colored Case & Keycaps next im bored of all Black

[tulip rapids]

ngl iPhone recording makes it sound like ass

[solar tundra]

Yup

It sounds def way better IRL

It doesnt sound that pitched

But no Wobble is crazy

I rly fw those Ufo Switches

And they Purple

[tulip rapids]

when you get to the second row it sounds like my speaker is getting crunched

[solar tundra]

😩

I still try to get used to Split Spacebar, only thing happening is hitting the Middle Key while typing

[tulip rapids]

Kinda sounds like a fat EU boy eating cheetos in my ear. Probably used a discount code for those chips

[tulip rapids]

you'll get used to it

dw

[solar tundra]

Yeah def but playing Games feels good so far

You got Beast X Mouse atm right

I wanna get that CRDDRK KO-One maybe

I wanted to buy the GWolves Lycan but im waiting for some Reviews

[robust siren]

oh hell nah

ill stick with my left side usbc port thanks

[loud zephyr]

shiny WASD - absolut gamerr

[robust siren]

burple fluxes

[solar tundra]

Drunkdeer X60HE, im gonna buy this mf just for the Case. GH60 is compatable so Wooting Module should be fine too?

Release in 7 Days

[robust siren]

should be if its gh60

might not work with friction mount

[solar tundra]

Thats Top View

Looks like a Spaceship

Is there a way to find out if my HyperX Cable got 8K Polling Rate?

[robust siren]

would this case work with bakka60

[little glen]

Looks like what you‘d get if you ask grok to make you a cool design for a gaming keyboard

[tropic urchin]

<@&1098943457654997093> crunch

[harsh dove]

[fluid ravine]

Lul

[fluid ravine]

Yes

Just make sure it uses unified db

[harsh edge]

is it possible to fit an original 60HE v1 (not the 60HE+) into the 60HEv2 aluminium case? The friction fit pad says it's only compatible with the 60HE(+)

[fluid ravine]

Heres a nicer photo

I def need a keebmat
The reverb transfer to my desk is insane

These damn feets

[sacred elm]

With friction fit pad yes

[harsh edge]

thank you :)

[robust siren]

bought my soju deskpad as extra dampening

ts thicc

[humble surge]

Looks like a dark felt angle

[fluid ravine]

Haha

It's my gym mat

That I have on my floor

Ill get a 80he sized keebmat in light grey later

[humble surge]

i mean regardless, compared to the keyboard aesthetics

[fluid ravine]

Thocc

[cloud crane]

What's the feet like

[robust siren]

4mm thicc

my glass pad isnt even 1/2 of that

[fluid ravine]

These grippers

[cloud crane]

Zamn

[robust siren]

how much vibration transfer do you want?

yes

[fluid ravine]

Indeed

[fluid ravine]

I tried my own bumpons but the height on the board increase drastically

So I couldn't use it

Only option is just use a mat

[robust siren]

vibrateson

[fluid ravine]

Aight bub

[robust siren]

which switch should i test first when i get back

[lunar sand]

Was able to come up with a quick fix for my broken acrylic standoffs… but already ordered tb friction pad to see if it’s compatible

[fluid ravine]

Which ones u have again

[thorn zealot]

Did u just tell em to vibrate

[robust siren]

WS Flux Mobius, UR Ice Ultras, Kois, AGS Radiants

[fluid ravine]

Imagine using standoffs

Kek

[robust siren]

[fluid ravine]

Sup Pedro been a while

[fluid ravine]

Kois

[robust siren]

[fluid ravine]

Then mobius

[robust siren]

WAIT

i can test the gateron 3in1 rn

or at least the switch opener function

i kinda packed everything up tho

[thorn zealot]

Wanna try my black jades

They sound wonderful

[fluid ravine]

👀

[robust siren]

for free?

[thorn zealot]

Nah I’ll give $10 cuz they ass 🥀

[humble surge]

Looking good Sir

[lunar sand]

ehehe 🙂
im getting some Gravastar and unionwell ultra pro+ to tryout too ... should be here this week ...
I'm still waiting on my FR4 plate for the 80HE. "He's my test horse" 😄

[robust siren]

nice timeout @fluid ravine

[lunar sand]

yeah... but the fix is super mehhhh 😄 did a "forced friction pad" 😄

[humble surge]

Ohh i have no clue what the problem is or what you are doing, just commented on the pic

[lunar sand]

but at least its solid until better solution arrives 😄

ahhh

so, the Redux Acrylic standoffs broke

[thorn zealot]

Already on the naughty list

[lunar sand]

i was doing a tapemod, and when i went to fix the board to the case

[thorn zealot]

Bad boy

[lunar sand]

puff

[humble surge]

Standoffs inside the case?

[lunar sand]

yeah

[humble surge]

what are they for?

[lunar sand]

to align the usb-c port

😄

[tropic urchin]

He said flip u too many times

He ran out of flips

[robust siren]

ahem fawk you

[sacred elm]

@fluid ravine

[tropic urchin]

Ahem

[humble surge]

I assume you mean lift the whole PCB so the USB port is aligned? meaning it has more depth than necessary by default

[fluid ravine]

TANK U

[lunar sand]

ohhh and while i was doing that, i noticed 3 leds are dead from the GT-60. I don't use leds on, but since i did a reset, i was like ... dang ... another 3 bites the dust 😄

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

[robust siren]

[fluid ravine]

[lunar sand]

hmmm, when i say standoffs, i say the fixation points where we screw the pcb on the case ... i call them standoffs, don't know if i'm using the right name 😄

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine breakfast first then i show

[fluid ravine]

Oka

Whatcha eating

[humble surge]

I have no clue what we are talking about anyways, i have never seen or took apart one with that case.

[fluid ravine]

I'm hungry

[humble surge]

But hope you can fix it then :)

[fluid ravine]

Youre correct

[lunar sand]

ok, cool, i had 90% sure i was, but ... Embolia got me second guessing

lol 😄

[fluid ravine]

Lol

[tropic urchin]

Flip u @robust siren

[robust siren]

pic later havent even left yet

[lunar sand]

exactly

the 2 on the left

[robust siren]

[lunar sand]

broke 😄

[fluid ravine]

Oof

[tropic urchin]

[fluid ravine]

When I had my tofu
I sanded them off

Like all of them

[lunar sand]

yeah, im going to do that

[robust siren]

[lunar sand]

how did you fixed the board

?

or you didnt

😄

[tropic urchin]

[robust siren]

[humble surge]

I see, they don't seem insanely big depth, but i can see how it's an issue with PCB.
Both broke off then?

[fluid ravine]

Oh back then I mounted my wooting with a gummy oring
Thus friction mounting the module into the case. Only thing that held it up was the case posts

[cloud crane]

Keysnap or pcbsnap time 👀

[lunar sand]

i really wanted a better acrylic case, but its hard to find one ... i really like the sound signature of acrylic way more than any type of metal

[fluid ravine]

Oh yeah this is a option as well

[lunar sand]

Ahhhh i remember that

😄

[fluid ravine]

Hehe

Yeeee

[lunar sand]

you bought the oring from a different keeb brand right? or am i wrong

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine ill take apart the ice ultras cause its the only one i havent wrapped up yet

[fluid ravine]

I bought it from Cannonkeys

[robust siren]

later on

[fluid ravine]

My local vendor

[fluid ravine]

Ok

[lunar sand]

yes, but wasnt it for Bakeneko60 or something similar

?

[fluid ravine]

It's for any gummy mount board

[lunar sand]

ahhh it was for any]

ok ok

🙂 i said i remembered, i didn't say how much 😄

ahahha

[fluid ravine]

I have 3 gummy mount cases/boards rn

Vella, frog mini, and neo65

[lunar sand]

yeah

[fluid ravine]

Ahahaha

[lunar sand]

the neo65 is making me itchy ...

wanted a 65

[fluid ravine]

It's naice

[lunar sand]

and i found it available in europe

[fluid ravine]

But get the core edition

[robust siren]

to this day i dont know what gummy or tadpole mount is

[cloud crane]

Bounce

[fluid ravine]

Or any of the neo series

Don't get the normal one

[fluid ravine]

[lunar sand]

the normal one is the one that comes with their sonic he right?

[fluid ravine]

We dead ah

?

[fluid ravine]

Yes

The one I have

[lunar sand]

you have the sonic?

what's your feedback on that keeb?

[fluid ravine]

No I have the neo65

[lunar sand]

ahhh ok

yeah the case

not the keeb, got it

[fluid ravine]

I had this before any of the cu, core, and core plus came out

Even the sonic

[fluid ravine]

Yup

[robust siren]

yes

[lunar sand]

yeah, but i'm really wanting to build a 65

but its a mess to build one

[fluid ravine]

You should

[lunar sand]

wanted HE\

no boards

[fluid ravine]

Get a venom65 he

And try to find a case for it

Like bakeneko65 for example

[lunar sand]

that's the thing

"try to find ... "

😄

[fluid ravine]

Ohh

[cloud crane]

Typface kafka is venom65 prebuilt for around 229 i think

[fluid ravine]

Gotcha

[lunar sand]

the price they ask to send me the venom65

to PT

for some reason is crazy

[fluid ravine]

Damn

[lunar sand]

and i'm not even thinking about customs

[fluid ravine]

[lunar sand]

lets see 😄

because after that

i need to find a compatible plate for the venom 65

[cloud crane]

Seems nice, will see when alex reviews it

[lunar sand]

ive been searching for plates, and... wow ...

its scarse ... i find them alright ... but the out of stock sign tells me otherwise 😄

[fluid ravine]

Time to go plate less

[cloud crane]

Plateless HE be slapping

🗣️ 🔥

[lunar sand]

i was waiting for Rakka to launch their 65 ... but yeah ...

[cloud crane]

Won't be for a while lol

[lunar sand]

im glad my chair is comfortable

because of the waiting time

[lunar sand]

yuups

but i'm having that feeling that the 65 is getting more and more into obvilion ...

[cloud crane]

No, the enthusiast scene still loves 65s

[fluid ravine]

Mhm

[fallen tartan]

How do I know when the pre-order will be delivered?

[lunar sand]

hmmm from where?

[fluid ravine]

What the status?

[lunar sand]

depends, but usually there's a timeline

😄

[fallen tartan]

Wooting 60HE v2

[fluid ravine]

No not the product you ordered

Like the status of your order

Waiting for shipment for example

[fallen tartan]

Ohh

[fluid ravine]

It's on wooting hub

[fallen tartan]

It has not been shipped.

[fallen tartan]

Ok ty

[fluid ravine]

Well I'm guessing that since you pre ordered

Youre gonna have to wait for the batch to ship to the warehouse

Once it does, then they will pack it up for you and ask you to confirm your address

[fallen tartan]

Like this : Your order is being prepared to ship to you

[fluid ravine]

After that they will give you an eta

[fluid ravine]

Ah ok then yea

Make sure u confirm your address so they can get ready to ship it out

[fallen tartan]

How do I confirm the address? I already entered it before—do I need to enter it again?

[lunar sand]

@fluid ravine do you have any advises for 80HE cases? 😄 there's not much, but need to get one for my cracked ghost case ( i'm finding a pattern with "plastics" and cracks on my cases 😄 )

[fluid ravine]

It will ask at some point but I'm just going based on your current status I think you already did

But do check oftenly

[fallen tartan]

Ohh ok

[fluid ravine]

Tbh sorry I don't xd
Don't own a 80he so I don't got much knowledge there

[fallen tartan]

Dn

[fluid ravine]

Unless you're asking for case recommendations

GT80

[lunar sand]

... yeah, i mean, i checked the GT80 ... but the sound signature, by all the reviews i saw, everyone said it was ... wow ... hollow and very metallic 😄

sooooo lots of modding to take that away

[fluid ravine]

Uh

Well

[lunar sand]

well its answered

[fluid ravine]

Force break mod

[lunar sand]

GT80 or zinc

😄

[fluid ravine]

And polyfill

[lunar sand]

yep

lots of polyfill

[fluid ravine]

Simple as it can get

[lunar sand]

LOL

[fluid ravine]

Not really

You don't need much at all

[lunar sand]

wait, let me check the video

[sacred elm]

GT80 better, just because of screwless design

hate screws

[lunar sand]

to show you where they actually show how freaking weird the metallic sound is

[fluid ravine]

Ok

[lunar sand]

https://youtu.be/QAbNCs8MsiU?si=4zWuluUBJgsMUj_u&t=695

scary 😄

[fluid ravine]

I honestly don't even hear it in the typing test

The ping

I only hear the natural hollowness

[lunar sand]

yeah i know, but that

[humble surge]

PCR on the other hand sounds great, been considering getting the Frost

[lunar sand]

metallic sound when bumping on the case ... its crazy 😄

[fluid ravine]

@tropic urchin bub

[lunar sand]

actually its really great

[fluid ravine]

Varedis has a gt80

[lunar sand]

that's been my fight

[humble surge]

Yep

[fluid ravine]

You can ask questions

[lunar sand]

because the PCR sounds so good 😄

[humble surge]

So i'M a little conflicted if i actually want GT-80

[tropic urchin]

Que?

[fluid ravine]

Help pedro

Abt gt80

[lunar sand]

yeah, i was looking at GT80

[tropic urchin]

what does he wanna know

[lunar sand]

eish ... sorry

[fluid ravine]

Ok have fun ima make dinner

[lunar sand]

😄 my auto correct is working marvelously 😄

So i was thinking about the GT80, but most of the info i get is that the sound signature is kind of meh

[humble surge]

Been thinking about it for months, mostly cause they never had stock of it.
But now not even sure.
Might just do the Frost only with new switches and new keycaps.

[lunar sand]

without "a lot of mods "

[fallen pecan]

or ego80

[tropic urchin]

its not too different from zinc case

IMO its the best for ease of use and aesthetics

[humble surge]

got a link to that Jabber?

[lunar sand]

yeah that's for sure

is it easy to add some polyfill in there

or everything is super tight?

[tropic urchin]

Bone80 is whatever, ego not a huge fan of but thats about it for cases unfort

[tropic urchin]

you got room

[lunar sand]

na Bone80 for me is just a copycat

😄

[fallen pecan]

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=960103346341

[tropic urchin]

GT80 is best if you want an easy time disassembling it

[humble surge]

I found something called Branch80, but i can't find it for the life of me anymore

[tropic urchin]

no case screws = heaven on earth

[lunar sand]

what mods did you do to yours?

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine at breakky spot

[tropic urchin]

using poron foam gasket and case foam and 2 layer tape mod with DCF on POM plate

[humble surge]

very naisu, thanks, might just do this

[fluid ravine]

Holy80 best

[humble surge]

holy shit, that space gray is awesome

[lunar sand]

nice ... yeah i mean, i always like to upgrade my cases... in this case its more difficult, because, as @humble surge said, the PCR case actually sounds really good 🙂
Yeah it has that cheap plastic feel and that's one of the reasons i want to get the alum ... well, tbh, as i said earlier, i prefer acrylic over alum any time ... but that's very person in terms of the sound signature.
But since we don't have those options ... LOL

Oh man, we may like the layout of the 80HE, but ... for third party offerings, it sucks 😄

[fallen pecan]

if yours is a module, daughterboard is sold separately

[humble surge]

Don't worry, i'll beta test that Ego80, then we see.
Worst case scenario, Frost PCR.
I'm kinda used to the Ghost, i don't even associate it with "cheap"

[lunar sand]

ghost, frost, all will sound the same 😄

[humble surge]

yeah, but i wanted to change to light aesthetics

also better light bounce on that

[lunar sand]

that ego is a copycat of the gt80

pfff 😄

[humble surge]

i won't be mad if it won't be metal afterall

[lunar sand]

oh light aesthetics ... yeah, i have my leds off 😄

[quick finch]

frost is the goat for rgb

[humble surge]

Copycat or not, the GT-80 is just insane, with the tax and shipping

and then considering the sound, probably not a great investment

[lunar sand]

its dirty sorry

[humble surge]

So would that be a separate listing?

[lunar sand]

😄

i actually haven't use it for 1 week ... 😄 and no dust cover 😄

[fallen pecan]

yeah same shop

[tropic urchin]

but yeah @lunar sand imo GT80 is the best/premium feeling case for 80HE atm

[lunar sand]

yeah

had that feeling too

when comparing vs Zinc

or Bone80

[humble surge]

May i ask for link drop on that too? i know it's annoying, but i just can't browse their site at all

[fallen pecan]

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=963453970646

[lunar sand]

yeah i was going to ask how can we register on Taobao? 😄

[humble surge]

Can't thank you enough Sir

[lunar sand]

is just a simple register

[humble surge]

Not sure, i made my account years ago, but they locked it for me in December, requires Chinese ID

[lunar sand]

or ... there's a catch? for some reason i have the feeling that there's a catch

[humble surge]

Since then it's been rough

[lunar sand]

Yeah

that's the catch 😄

[humble surge]

No catch, use Superbuy and enjoy cheap prices.

[lunar sand]

superbuy? not aware of what that is sorry 😄

[humble surge]

https://www.superbuy.com/en/page/homepage/

[fallen pecan]

they also have cf plates in this listing in case you hate the stock fr4

[humble surge]

awesome

[lunar sand]

actually i need to try CF vs FR4. FR4 is my go to plate ... i guess CF will have a more stiff typing feeling ... need to get one from Ali to try out

[humble surge]

Same, i haven't even touched plates yet

But i'm on ISO so it's been also harder

[lunar sand]

well, 80HE has a PC one

Oh ISO ... yeah

i would love to have ISO in PT language

but... not really 😄

[humble surge]

You can get keycaps with PT

[lunar sand]

so instead i started using ANSI due to availability of stuff

i know ...

but why would you 😄

usually

black, black and more black

there's not much choice ... now and then, you get a white option 🙂 but nahhh, there's not much to choose from

[fluid ravine]

NOTHING IS STOPPING ME FUGGERS

[humble surge]

What cable is that?

[fluid ravine]

Like to my daughter board or the cable I use for my keyboard

[humble surge]

The white one on the right that is slotted into the USB C that's outside the PCB

[fluid ravine]

It's just a pulsar cable

[robust siren]

brother

[fluid ravine]

Shut it

I'm doing whatever it takes just to use my vella

[humble surge]

One that comes with their mice?

[cloud crane]

Ts so peak 🗣️ 🔥

[fluid ravine]

Yes

[fluid ravine]

Thats what I'm saying

[humble surge]

I see, didn't know they do the angled connector heads.

[fluid ravine]

@tawdry tree nothing is stopping me from using my board

[loud zephyr]

just screw the DB to your desk to stop it moving around, ezy

[robust siren]

rips every cable out slamming the desk

[loud zephyr]

[fluid ravine]

Hehe

Cherry of HE switches?!

[glacial wind]

It’s beautiful

Now if my horsies can arrive I can do a personal build

[tulip rapids]

torontokeyboard man?

[glacial wind]

Lol no

UR ICE Ultra V2

[glacial wind]

Taobao. Toronto man is a rip off and he just orders from taobao

[cloud crane]

True

[tulip rapids]

cant trust them canadians

https://tenor.com/view/smoking-cigarette-duck-m-m-m-gif-13060738180612349057

[glacial wind]

I understand why Canadians order from him because they get massive taxes regardless of who they order from, but I always find it funny when non Canadians order from him

[calm pulsar]

its like that one time when I used a usb extender just to use my venom in luminkey lx60 case😭

[tulip rapids]

they want that "canadian experience"

[glacial wind]

What’s ur ice v2? Is that just extremes?

[tulip rapids]

anyways sno your plate looks clean

[glacial wind]

yeah finally I can swap the stock plate out

I’m not a big fr4 fan myself. Always seemed like a half measure for me

[tulip rapids]

which plate you prefer cf?

[calm pulsar]

its exactly why I liked fr4 on frog mini, it sounds softer than alu but is still rigid enough

but plate material can feel very different depending on mounting

[robust siren]

im genius guys

[cloud crane]

Ice ultra v2 I think

[robust siren]

bruh i just bought the ice ultras

whats different about them

[cloud crane]

Well this seems not too much different from normal ice ultras at a first glance

Sooo you're probably fine

[glacial wind]

Yeah I’m always a fan of cf or aluminium for my personal builds since I like stiffness

[tidal frigate]

Guys glass keyboard plate is amazing for smoothness

[cloud crane]

[robust siren]

tink tink tink

[glacial wind]

I don’t think Ice ultra v2 are out unless you taobao it anyhow

[cloud crane]

Yeah

I can just see the ur studio taobao shop only mentioning the existence of the v2 switches but not selling yet

[humble surge]

Someone was arguing about UR Ice Ultra v2s today already, but couldn't really show what was it all about.
So not even sure what is new if it truly is releasing.

[cloud crane]

What they argued about

[glacial wind]

The photos I’ve seen just look like ur ice extreme

[calm pulsar]

maybe they are 5% more transparent

hype

[cloud crane]

[robust siren]

i will not be convinced into buying more keyboard parts

[humble surge]

Dude called double diffuser, told him that was Ice Extreme, but he corrected us that Ultra V2s have that too

[calm pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/what-you-sure-you-sure-about-that-dog-watching-gif-26139783

[humble surge]

then this

[cloud crane]

Coz I know that a friend that has contacts with ur studio def said that a v2 is happening

But not sure when

[humble surge]

Same

[robust siren]

unless someone wants to sell a case for $3

[glacial wind]

Ur love to randomly push out new version like they did at start with ur ultra

I hope they keep same magnet because otherwise we have to re measure for v2

[humble surge]

He gave these links as proof, but i lost interest after the initial hostile behaviour, i really don't have energy/attention/time to dedicate to such people online ^^

[robust siren]

i like how the ags radiants look in person
as for how they sound, idk theyre in sealed plastic baggies i dont wanna open rn

[fluid ravine]

Wat I miss

[robust siren]

i send video of the gateron 3in1

[glacial wind]

It’s just raptor v2 sound

[robust siren]

i dont have raptors

[fluid ravine]

3 in 1?

[glacial wind]

What about astrolink

Or crystal he

[robust siren]

dont have those either

[humble surge]

Is the Radiant crunch-less?

[glacial wind]

Oh

They’re all that sound signature basically lol

[calm pulsar]

so ags radiant are just a recolor?

[robust siren]

yesh

[fluid ravine]

Duhrawkken bebber

[glacial wind]

Fairly sure they’re just recolored crystal he

[fluid ravine]

[robust siren]

keycap, switch puller and opener

[cloud crane]

HMX new molds when 😭

[glacial wind]

They claim to use the fibreglass material like crystal he, but crystal he and ags sound just like raptor v2 basically lol

[calm pulsar]

yeah looking at the pics they are most likely

[fluid ravine]

And material when

[fluid ravine]

Ooo

[cloud crane]

50% fiberglass

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine

[fluid ravine]

Exactly

[glacial wind]

we need 100% fiberglass

[calm pulsar]

they are nicely priced on aliexpress for me, but so are astrolinks

[fluid ravine]

Weow

[fluid ravine]

YESSS

[robust siren]

i didnt find astros on taobao so i got the radiants

[fluid ravine]

Frick astros

[robust siren]

or was it the crystals

i think it was crystals i couldnt find

[glacial wind]

Crystals basically impossible to find

Barely anyone sells or lists them

[fluid ravine]

Only unikey

But they sold out

For a while now

[glacial wind]

yeah I bought mine when they stocked them then they disappeared into the ether

never seen anyone else sell them

[fluid ravine]

Yup

[humble surge]

just waiting on the silly Nova refill to arrive to warehouse
(4 other switches on the way from Ali aswell)

[robust siren]

3in1 feels good to open switches with

[glacial wind]

My novas arrive probably tomorrow or day after I think

[robust siren]

as for keycaps and puller idk yet

[fluid ravine]

Nova?

[glacial wind]

The keytok switches

[fluid ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/what-are-those-gif-23546871

[fluid ravine]

Link or image?

[calm pulsar]

so many new words

[humble surge]

Star Arashi is it's other name

[fluid ravine]

I don't remember I think

[glacial wind]

https://www.keytok.com/products/nova-switch

[fluid ravine]

Yh never seen

[glacial wind]

I expect them to compete with Jade ultra for top split stem switch

They’re just polar pros but better I assume from the looks of it

[humble surge]

They certainly do, from experience so far

Might beat UFO aswell

[loud zephyr]

what tf is a Fingertip Cultural and Creative Xinglan Axis Magnetic..? Sounds like a museum tour and a musical at the same time smh

[glacial wind]

is the top wobble okay though?

[humble surge]

translation

[loud zephyr]

ah

[chilly mural]

maybe it's time for camera/headphone

[humble surge]

yeah top and bottom wobble is atleast identical if not better

[robust siren]

no

[humble surge]

i tried many times

[glacial wind]

With polar pro I didn’t like that the top wiggled a tad because split stem movement doesn’t secure top that well

[robust siren]

i cant wait to finally use my astrals again when i get home

[humble surge]

I have all 10 of them in the board simulatenously with UFOs for a few days now

[humble surge]

It's the Nova/Star Arashi basically, idk how the translation works that museum tour out, i had the same vibes at first ^^

[fluid ravine]

Realest shi I heard all day

[robust siren]

one month on airpods pro

gen1

[fluid ravine]

How was it

Ohhell na

[humble surge]

Red is true hehh
It fails to translate the variant here though, it calls it "Star Scroll"

[cloud crane]

Machine translation kinda ahh

[humble surge]

All gucci, we know what we buyin

[glacial wind]

Where does one even buy AirPod pro gen 1

[robust siren]

when they came out

[glacial wind]

I have mine from warranty replacement still but the battery is so shot that the charging case only functions as a pass through lol

[humble surge]

question, what are Kailh Arctic Foxes? old switch?

[robust siren]

mine has been through hell

[fluid ravine]

Sounds old icl

[robust siren]

ran over by a bus and accidentally washed twice

[fluid ravine]

Sorta rings a bell

[humble surge]

ohh nvm they are mech

[fluid ravine]

Ahh

Still old

[robust siren]

im shocked its still working

but yeah battery life is doodoo ass water

[humble surge]

stupid ahh Aliexpress, we only care for magnetic now

[glacial wind]

I got lucky and replaced my v1 right at end of extended apple warranty after their lawsuit, so I got brand new ones a couple years ago

[humble surge]

They looked interesting, but then noticed

[glacial wind]

But they only replaced AirPods and not the case

[robust siren]

one of the pods was ran over by a bus, had to replace that one

[glacial wind]

only now just swapping to v3 thanks to wooting benefits, but yeah battery life is awful now on mine

[calm pulsar]

are there v3 pros?

[glacial wind]

yeah they came out end of last year

[fluid ravine]

Doesn't all wireless buds like die quicker over time?

[uneven cradle]

i recently swapped to oneplus buds 4 been pretty solid for the $

[calm pulsar]

well they all have tiny batteries so its natural

[robust siren]

i should upgrade airpods soon maybe v4 pros

[uneven cradle]

had a lot of issues with airpods on my android phones

[fluid ravine]

Makes sense

[glacial wind]

V3 will be nice since I won’t have to wear watch at gym

[calm pulsar]

my v2 pros are still holding on fine, but my iphone mini's battery is on life support

[fluid ravine]

I used to use the sony link bud s and it died over a year and a half

Since then it's just me and my iems+dac

[robust siren]

i think my 15 pro max is killing itself

[glacial wind]

they’re just so convenient if you’re Apple user honestly lol. Auto swapping between desktop and phone when I do things around house is convenient as hell

[cloud crane]

The ideal wireless setup is whatever iem you like + 2pin wireless adaptors

[fluid ravine]

Oh yesss

This

[glacial wind]

I tried that for awhile but no auto swapping so I stopped

[fluid ravine]

I need to find a adapter

[glacial wind]

And wearing more stuff at gym was annoying

[fluid ravine]

Dunno where to look

[robust siren]

89% battery health in 2 years

[fluid ravine]

How to check battery life

[glacial wind]

End of the day it was still more convenient to use good iem/headphone when editing then AirPods rest of the time

[calm pulsar]

I got like 70% now☠️

[uneven cradle]

my m1 macbook pro is hitting 82% battery health after 4 years not too bad still lasts a long time on a charge

[glacial wind]

We did find out that Marco was editing on $10 cheapie earbuds though lol

[calm pulsar]

based

[glacial wind]

He’s getting some proper headphones now because he couldn’t hear the differences in some sound stuff when editing on them lol

[robust siren]

is 600 cycles a lot

[uneven cradle]

One day Yifang will convince me to buy an expensive audio setup

[calm pulsar]

I need a dac for my open back sennheisers, probably not getting the most out of them, even though they are nice already

[tidal frigate]

@robust siren samsung when

[robust siren]

apple use samsung display

[tropic urchin]

id go off of the max capacity

[robust siren]

i have samsung oled monitor

[tropic urchin]

once you get down to 80-83% range the battery is GGs

[robust siren]

when they somehow make it so the folding phones dont get dented by a strand of hair

[calm pulsar]

hold my iphone 12 mini's beer

[tidal frigate]

So it already exist?

[tropic urchin]

its not old enough to buy beer so basicly

[robust siren]

the screen being prone to permanent damage by fingernails is stopping me from getting it

[uneven cradle]

when that new Applie Studio display droppin

[glacial wind]

My AirPods case loves to show battery 100%, even when it literally won’t charge 1% of my AirPod battery

[tropic urchin]

and its made by Dim Jobs so its not reel fhone

[tidal frigate]

@robust siren you cant get foldable phone without any way to bend inside screen

[robust siren]

i know

[tidal frigate]

You can put extra plastic protection on foldable screen o guess

[tall hollow]

that is quite a bit yeah

usually after like 300-500 cycles you could expect about 80% of the original capacity

[white solar]

Hi everyone, have any of you tried to friction fit a 60HEv2 model into holy60? Would appreciate the help

[sacred elm]

Yeah, it's compatible

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6sM7G53gRg

[white solar]

Thank you, just watched the video, but they don’t really show anything about grounding and how it should be done

That’s the part which concerns me the most

[sacred elm]

After putting the v2 module in the case screw in the screw in the top tight to ground the module

[glacial wind]

I have a video going live on Monday that also goes over grounding if you’re worried about it

But it’s very easy and straightforward like shafie shows

[white solar]

Thank you, and as far as I understand I will need to take off the rubber feet for it to fit in?

Sorry if it sounds dumb, but do I need to put in a standoff in the top right?

[glacial wind]

If you want grounding then yes

But the standoff is built in already

You shouldn’t need to put it anything else

Holy60 has that standoff there by default already

[white solar]

I have those golden ones that came with the case

[glacial wind]

Golden ones are for different spots and not needed

Please follow the video shafie linked

[white solar]

Thank you

[glacial wind]

it goes over every step basically

[cloud crane]

Fiio, TRN and uhh ifi audio has some

[fluid ravine]

will do a sound test of the vella once i get my jst cable

Vella sounds more brighter or some can say more poppy i guess compared to my frog mini

i like it
the reverb bewteen the two though, well i guess they're the same but also not cus i use custom feets for my frog mini while vella's feet sits lower on the surface. But realistically if both were using their stock feets, it's the same.

So im gonna need the keebmat any time now

[robust siren]

so it’s better rn

[tall hollow]

yeah your battery is fine

[robust siren]

debtson

buy buy buy

[calm pulsar]

good thing he didnt get into gambling

[tropic urchin]

Mid to low 80s is when the battery enters the twilight zone

[fluid ravine]

i go no moni

[flat cobalt]

Wait it is real

Machida by FruityKeebs

[tulip rapids]

piss yellow keycaps 😭

[tulip rapids]

which one you gonna buy

[glacial wind]

Oh I got a new one for modding discord

Corn shrimp pizzas

[fluid ravine]

80HE felts edition light grey

i want big size so i can like put my wrist on it as well

[fluid ravine]

mmm

[glacial wind]

If your pizza isn’t at least 50% corn then you need to step your game up

[fluid ravine]

i would lowk eat this

[glacial wind]

Do singaporeans even eat much pizza though

I swear most of the pizza I eat in Singapore was with foreigners lol

Oh wait that was drak that was the anti pizza guy

you are the American pizza loving one

It’s good that we have a system to classify everyone here based on pizza preferences

[paper bloom]

I do

My favorite are the Dominos pizza

You would eat in singapore, if not korean pizza like Pizza maru in Jewel in the 5th floor is a banger

[paper bloom]

If you ever come to singapore we can meet up i'll have some food w u lowk

[glacial wind]

domino’s does have cool stuff in Singapore. Every now and then I have a weird craving for the absurd pizza layer crust they do in Singapore

[paper bloom]

Mines their flat crust

[glacial wind]

The cream cheese layered under the normal thin crust thing is delicious but absurd amounts of cheese at the same time

[paper bloom]

What was the name of the pizza called i remember seeing that before

But i never got the chance to try it

[glacial wind]

Think it was cheese burst or something like that

[paper bloom]

Hm okay i'll see if it is still around again one of these and check them out

[uneven cradle]

Koreans do be loving some corn

[tulip rapids]

and they said i was a monster for putting pineapple on pizza

[uneven cradle]

Got through a few bags of these at the baseball with some beer 🍺

[tulip rapids]

how

gotta rip off the corn on the cob from the pizza then eat it

https://tenor.com/view/cat-corn-hungry-starving-jump-gif-8207403014571235237

[glacial wind]

they went too far the one season they did corn bubble tea

truly they strayed far from the light of god that season

[paper bloom]

Lowk

Thinking about pizza rn kinda makes me hungry

[deft jolt]

not really

it's more of an occasional thing

[trail bane]

Yo any idea what do I need to send them?:D

[robust siren]

the fuh does this even mean

[robust siren]

your address?

[trail bane]

Proxy warehouse address since they based in China ig

[ionic breach]

i would highkey eat this

[ionic breach]

theres no cob

i think its just mostly japan that does this but they cut the corn and leave it intact as like a sheet of corn u see in the pic

corn sushi is so peak

[glacial wind]

begun the corn civil wars has

[chilly mural]

This looks soo tasty and cursed at the same time

[robust siren]

@trail bane ill send a pic of the sound mods i got for the bakka60 when i get back to the states

[little glen]

I look at this chat and the first thing i see is the worst abomination ive laid my eyes upon

[robust siren]

i got no idea where any of ts goes

[glossy pagoda]

https://www.theguardian.com/games/2026/jan/15/commodore-64-ultimate-review-computer
Does this count as keyboard modding?

[little glen]

Very weird layout i must say

[cloud crane]

How about this

[robust siren]

what the fuh is going on with that arrow setup

[cloud crane]

Blacksimon things

HHKB "TKL" 🤔

[broken notch]

This is actually really cool

[formal hemlock]

what switches should i buy for fast gaming cuz i plan to buy wooting 60he v2 and i dont know should i buy like ufo or smth or keep this form keyboard

[cloud crane]

Define "fast gaming"

[broken notch]

Try the stock ones first

They're dirt cheap in the prebuilt, no point jumping straight to other brands

[formal hemlock]

I play tournaments in fortnite

[broken notch]

Idk. It depends what you like

[formal hemlock]

Ok thx

[broken notch]

UFOs are very exoensive

And very niche

[formal hemlock]

Te

Ye

[broken notch]

These are my UFOSs

[formal hemlock]

Nice keycaps

Is good

Are they fast

[broken notch]

Also we have an overview of most switches

https://wootingmods.com/switchguide/

[formal hemlock]

Cuz i will soon get my keyboard and i dont know what switches cuz somone sey they are trash and jade pro better

[broken notch]

Check this link

I have a 60 v1

So I had older switches

So swapping to UFO was great

But I've been told the newer wooting switches are more stable than the older ones

[formal hemlock]

I think after faw month i will buy raptors

Thxsm

[glacial wind]

Tikkens are much different to the old lekker v1 that people don’t like, so it’s a lot less of an issue nowadays

so best to just use stock first then decide later if you want to try other switches. Will give you a better of idea of what you like sound wise too

[jaunty urchin]

Is the Gt-80 for 120$ plus 50$ shipping worth?

[glacial wind]

jesus that's quite the shipping

[jaunty urchin]

The holy80 is even more expensive

I can get the AimBone80 for 120 + 20

[glacial wind]

i mean it comes down to your preferences and spending level, but that's pretty high shipping

[jaunty urchin]

And thats about it.

Partly because of my location and partly because KBDfans shipping is over the roof

[glacial wind]

have you checked aliexpress? or is that just as bad shipping

[jaunty urchin]

I want green with gold accents. The aimbone one has black accents sadly.

[jaunty urchin]

This is the aliexpress one... their site is worse

[glacial wind]

oof, sounds like you got some crazy taxes

[jaunty urchin]

The taxes are 18%. Their shipping is crazy tho. I have like over 1k orders on ali and kbd is the most expensive shipping wise (besides Akko M1 V5)

[glacial wind]

if you're in EU it's likely adding in certain taxes and things as well

for example for rest of us kdbfans is like $5 shipping

but if EU person orders they get charged certain taxes/fees on top

[jaunty urchin]

Are their any options that have green cases (hopefully with gold accents) besides the GT80, Bone80 and the Ego80 (don't quite like this) that are okay?

[glacial wind]

80he just doesn't have a ton of cases out there, so those are kind of it

[jaunty urchin]

Im in europe, but not in the european union. So i have 2 negatives. Sadly they do not combine in to a positive 😂

[little glen]

i would say yes if you have no other option

i also paid a lot for mine due to shipping + tax

[jaunty urchin]

Yeah... just waiting for them to be restocked and looking for better options meanwhile

Sadly they don't even want to move the shipping price into the base price so I don't get taxed even more ( shipping gets taxed more in my place... )

[little glen]

if you really want it, idk if waiting would be beneficial cause of the low stock they have

[robust siren]

the kbdfans gt cases are amazing

i wished the gt60 had the ball catch system the gt80 uses

[jaunty urchin]

They said they should have new cases soon (restocked) as the green one is not in stock. Initially I wanted a white one but I already bought green gold keycaps and I ordered a custom 40$ coiled cable in that color aswell

I found a seller on aliexpress that should be able to make me this.

As well as supporting tachyon and 8k.

[little glen]

real and true

[robust siren]

hack to using gt-60: dont use included plate they force you to buy

ezpz

well thats if you dont flip over your keyboard

[little glen]

using stock 60he v2 plate rn

i do want to get a custom plate tho

[jaunty urchin]

For the GT-80 can you use the stock wooting plate? Or something is different. I have a custom POM plate comming as well but modeled after the stock pcr case

[little glen]

i need to cut my spending tho cause i bought new glasses

[little glen]

using fr4 plate atm

[jaunty urchin]

Im literally praying mine don't break out of nowhere or im blind

[jaunty urchin]

Do you know if the stock plates fit or different sizes are needed

[robust siren]

need to spend more in CHYNA

give american money to china

[little glen]

yeah thats why i bought 2 pairs
