[little glen]

if one breaks i'm good cause i'll have another

my current ones have had a gash in them for over a year now

dont have american money :(

[jaunty urchin]

I wish I had american money 😅

[robust siren]

american dollaroos gave me a lot of spending money in japan

[jaunty urchin]

Okay so foam kit and plate from keebox on the way. Will order new stabs.
A case when they restock and I promise ill stop spending. (For a month)

[robust siren]

this is just 1/2 of the stuff i got

ontop of my previous mods and all the stuff i have on the wooting currently

[jaunty urchin]

I saw this when you posted it. That's a pretty nice haul. Wanna see mine?

[robust siren]

shore

[jaunty urchin]

Atleast 50 of these are keyboard related 😂

[robust siren]

the more impressive haul is how much i spent on model cars for just 11

[jaunty urchin]

Im about to get banned from my postal office

They'll see my name more than they have seen theirs

[robust siren]

for sure how it feels

i still need to tally up how much these stuff costsd me

cause paying in CNY is like fake currency

[jaunty urchin]

I bought several entry level Zuoya GMK keyboards for my friends and relatives because they love how they sound for so cheap. And they can learn to mod them

[jaunty urchin]

Yeah, foreign currencies tend to do that

[robust siren]

its even worse in JPY

[jaunty urchin]

Have you been to turkey?

Went to turkey for 10 days came back plus 10kg in fat. Spent less than 200 euros. I felt like a pig couldn't stop eating

[robust siren]

no

[jaunty urchin]

For 20$ you can have 5 meals of food 😂

[robust siren]

we had all you can eat kobe beef for like under 40 bucks a person
looked absolutely stunning and tastes even better

[jaunty urchin]

Damn I'm hungry now

[robust siren]

probably wont even get this high end cut of beef for over 100 in the US

[jaunty urchin]

Never been to the US but I know everything is expensive

[robust siren]

boutta get a whole lot more with orange man fucking around

[robust siren]

ill trade you corgi pics

[jaunty urchin]

... sad part is our goverment tries to act like him only for the bad parts. When he introduced the minimis or however that is called our goverment added additional 18% of taxes on aliexpress and temu items... and only there

[robust siren]

does yours intend to invade greenland

[jaunty urchin]

Yes pls. I got this keycap for cheap and I love it

[jaunty urchin]

They can't even invade a village let alone greenland 😂

[robust siren]

its in #🐱│pets

[jaunty urchin]

Sooooooo cuteeee

[robust siren]

more borbi photos (bonus snow fox )

[jaunty urchin]

Omaaagaaahdd. I lovee snow foxes

I sent my cars in pets

[robust siren]

#🐱│pets message scroll up a lil here

[jaunty urchin]

They are soo fluffy

[fair heart]

got Unionwell blazing bloom switches

my new favorite switch

[random dagger]

i bought a new set of switches to try out

after hearing the sounds tests i am settling on the ur ice ultras

[fair heart]

r2?

[harsh edge]

Just to confirm before I purchase, is all of this compatible with an original 60he?

[glacial wind]

original as in v1 60he?

[harsh edge]

yes not the 60he(+)

[glacial wind]

yes they're compatible, but just be aware unless you fit your own grounding sponge the 60he v2 alu case will not be grounded with v1 module

also i would generally suggest tikkens if you want switches from our store

[harsh edge]

ah are they better than the lekker v2's?

[glacial wind]

yeah they're the newer release

[harsh edge]

is this a major issue or would i be okay? im basically upgrading a second hand original 60he PCB i got for a good deal but will be upgrading to a v2 PCB later this year

[harsh edge]

ah okay

[glacial wind]

generally it's a minor thing and most people will never run into an issue unless they live in really dry staticky environment, but something i have to point out as well

if you want something compatible with grounding and friction fit for both v1 and v2 there's the optimum case too

although price is more expensive than basic aluminium case of course

[harsh edge]

i see thank you

[harsh edge]

i was looking at that but im not a big fan of the grey and i absolutely love the v2 case haha

[lusty river]

hey, does someone know how to mmd c1 switches compare to the flux deep clacky? thanks!!

[glacial wind]

they're both in our sound test database and ratings

#🪛│modding_faq message

very different types of switches

[lusty river]

I found the database thank you! you mean they are very different? I currently have the MMD c1s and I like them but I was wondering how different the deep clacky ones are to them

[glacial wind]

mmd c1 is more traditional style stem, fully clear rgb, sounds fairly standard clacky. Other is walled stem, more stable, not as bright rgb and sound note is deeper

[lusty river]

ahh, and the mmd c1s are lighter to press right?

[glacial wind]

yes

[lusty river]

thank you very much!!

[glacial wind]

Also modding people I have it on good authority that the v2 plate files are being prepared for public. So ‘soon’ we shall have them

[chilly mural]

Yay

[broken notch]

Is there any (as short possible) usb c to usb c cable people would recommend for 8k hz polling?

https://www.amazon.com.be/Seminer-Thunderbolt-Compatible-Charging-Support/dp/B0FCMHLSP5/?th=1

I was thinking this one, unless people see something I don't? It will be connected to an 8k powered usb hub

Sorry for wall of text

[broken notch]

Or is that a dumb idea?

I genuinely want a cable as short as possible

[ionic breach]

i mean a phone charging cable works

u could also get a custom cable

[broken notch]

I'm using said hub

[broken notch]

Do you have any recommendations?

[ionic breach]

oh boi do i have one

[fallen pecan]

the hub comes with 2 short cabels no?

[broken notch]

I don't want a RGB cable for my keyboard!

But it does come with two shorties

But they're both RGB

[ionic breach]

but what ur budget?

its kinda costly

[broken notch]

I mean, I put in UFOs, I think my budget is rather large

[fallen pecan]

then any short usb2 cable will be fine

worst case you return it

[ionic breach]

yea

honestly the ones for ur phone should work

[ionic breach]

ill send u a discord invite

[broken notch]

Sure, thanks

[humble surge]

👀 ohh naise, you got one of those

[broken notch]

Yup!

A red one to fit my Jurassic Park setup :V

[humble surge]

Found a cable yet you need?

[broken notch]

I'm thinking this wired in custom cable

But I need to mail their support

Since I want a third of their shortest cable

If that's possible

[humble surge]

I was gonna ask you how urgent and suggest exactly that lol

If not urgent

Perfect solution for better lengths, i was struggling to find ones i need myself before i settled on the one i just got.
Their customization is atleast somewhat sensible.

[broken notch]

Yeah?

[humble surge]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010201008184.html if it doesn't work out, 12cm cable with no light and in white is all i found

[broken notch]

I might grab the phone cable for now and then get a custom one down the line

I don't want RGB because I want to invoke a more classic look with my Jurassic Park theme

[ionic breach]

u can just make an order and then ask them in support

[broken notch]

Oic

They look a bit too techy for me Emb :p

[ionic breach]

in discord*

[humble surge]

I get it, i don't like it either. I just didn't find anything else this short.

[broken notch]

Ah, I've sent them a "contact us" through the site now, will wait :)

[humble surge]

(your hub is pretty techy already though :P )

[broken notch]

Yeah, BUT

[ionic breach]

oh they will ask u to make an order first prob

for the rest of the details other then length

[broken notch]

I just asked IF it's possible :)

If it is, I will place the order

this will be my gif

hehehe

[ionic breach]

should be, everything is made in house

gl tho

[humble surge]

I support Jurassic Park projects :)

[ionic breach]

man i havent seen jurassic park movies in a long long time

did they make any new ones?

[humble surge]

Yeah i saw the recent one in August

[broken notch]

I've been working on my own custom design for caps too

[humble surge]

Looks awesome Trips, when will it be made?

[broken notch]

I'm looking at Goblintechkeys for printing

[ionic breach]

i only saw the one with the hybrid trex thing

2015

[broken notch]

Jurassic World no bueno

Jurassic PArk, bueno

[humble surge]

Kinder, Bueno

[ionic breach]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-pain-gif-25934677

[broken notch]

I'm hoping to get them printed after my current "moving my bf into my flat" project :p

[broken notch]

There are 3 jurassic park movies

[humble surge]

hehh

[broken notch]

The rest are world

[humble surge]

Hope it goes well then

[broken notch]

I have good hopes

The plan is to have a full Jurassic Park desk

with many goodies and stuff that I already own

[humble surge]

I mean't the project above, before the printing ^^

[broken notch]

oh yeah haha

Btw the Wired In guys already replied to my mail

They can do it and I just need to both pick 1ft, leave 4in in the notes AND leave a support message to also ensure it's 4in

[humble surge]

The JP project i had no doubts in ever

[broken notch]

So that's neat

[humble surge]

Excellent

Was gonna go with their X-ray originally, but 1,2 meters only for 75 EUR is stupid, it's really not that nice.

[broken notch]

I understand the pricing when they're made in house

No big bucks factory to automate/demand

[humble surge]

It's just not a clever investment, so i decided against.

[devout bluff]

Can someone pls point me to the switch wobble letters designation..? - I'm a bit too high to figure it out...

[ionic breach]

Dont think there is

[cloud crane]

They'll have a cheaper offering soon

[humble surge]

It's the length and the distance thats more of a problem, i don't mind paying for a nice cable, this just made no sense.

[devout bluff]

So how do switch wobble levels A, B, C, S stack up..?

[ionic breach]

thats a question for sno i believe

[glacial wind]

They’re just rough ratings to give an idea. Anything b onwards is average and up

C is awful

C means they’re basically among the most wobbly of all switches I’ve tried

Just think of b as average, a as good, s as very good and s+ as basically as little wobble as I can imagine

[humble surge]

Nova/Star Arashi resupply arrived 👀

[fallen pecan]

make them count the rest heheh

[humble surge]

I submitted all switches for consolidation, told them to put the open box one into the storage box aswell and just leave the foiled one as is.

[harsh edge]

does the 60hev2 aluminium standalone case come with a wooting strap?

[ionic breach]

ya

[harsh edge]

thank you!

[trail bane]

@stoic ocean Yo this looks so good

[stoic ocean]

I was watching his live stream, but I made myself a chicken breast sandwich with thyme and then I stopped watching.

It's pretty, yes

[hazy wadi]

i put my v2 in a tofu with a screw in it to ground it, but when i touch it, it still flickers my screen from static... is it not supossed to do that?

[stoic ocean]

@trail bane

Do you think there are imperfections to the touch?

because it's not the same process as anodizing

[trail bane]

I don’t think so

[stoic ocean]

I have the impression that there are tiny holes, like in the Meteorite Redux tofu.

[trail bane]

It’ll be felt different for sure, but how? Idk:)

[ionic breach]

its like one of these

[stoic ocean]

This is just to give you an idea

because the possibility is infinite

because the boxes receive treatment with products and therefore everything will impact the patterns

[ionic breach]

crazy how many center usb wooting60he compatible cases are coming up

its like 3 really good ones at least

[stoic ocean]

I want to get an aged and a Mechameleon with the rakka

[trail bane]

Yeah usb-c extension(or whatever it’s called) is such a gamechanger

[loud zephyr]

I can't decide which Gehrin, all colours hella valid imo. So I'll wait for this if I can't decide, Baion is nuts

[stray tiger]

For those of you looking to get a Gehirn I'm working to get Bowl the updated plate files for the v2 standoff change. @glacial wind is going to be pinging some folks too.

[tropic urchin]

low key might pick up the pastel for venom 😳

@fluid ravine turns out it does exist 🥶

fuck

this is tuff

[stray tiger]

What are you trying to decide on?

[tropic urchin]

was mostly window shopping since the 80HE case market probably not going to change anytime soon

the Silver CF Vella and the pastel gehirn caught my eye for a 60% build retrofitting

[tulip rapids]

I need pics bruh

let me see what you're cooking

[tropic urchin]

leaning this, as a sucker for silverweave CF sheeesh

pastel with salt lake would be pretty sick as well

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/snowman-mewing-gif-2279459253930844617

[tropic urchin]

@cyan lark Pastel Gehirn thank me later

this has been your quarterly ping to spend $

we are now on CD

[cyan lark]

Brother if you knew how much $ I'm spending in the next 6 months you'd blush and shit your pants

[trail bane]

No gambling as recommendation is tuff

[tropic urchin]

in my line of work id probably say the same

[tropic urchin]

we only gamble on draftkings

[trail bane]

Everyone should try their best to gamble aged galvanized steel year after ww2 from small Italian village for villagemaxxing ahh vibes At LEAST

[little glen]

@tropic urchin are you getting an ultem plate for the 80he?

i'd be interested in your thoughts if you do get it

[tropic urchin]

Yessir

[little glen]

very cool

[tropic urchin]

I wanted something like POM but louder so phish recommended ultem so I’m yoloing it to see how it is

[little glen]

i'm gonna place another order once 60he v2 files are out so i can order another 80he plate with it

[cyan lark]

@tropic urchin I do appreciate the recommendation engine though. What is that, a new case?

[little glen]

currently on fr4, thinking if i want to go alu or something else

[tropic urchin]

I might pick up a silver CF Vella too but the cerebral graphic designer needs some time to cook up a vision

[tropic urchin]

Which one

[cyan lark]

Pastel Gehirn

[tropic urchin]

New 60% case that thockfather has been keeping us updated on

[little glen]

i want more 80he cases to come out

[tropic urchin]

Group buy started recently

[tropic urchin]

Real

[little glen]

give me a neo 80he case

[fluid ravine]

Neo80

[subtle trail]

So did you check if the wooting v2 will fit in salvation friction fit or

[little glen]

oh i didnt catch that you wanted me to check after all

[subtle trail]

I said if it's not too much effort

[little glen]

i'll have to dig out the friction fit

[subtle trail]

if it's okay y'know

I dont wanna be much hassle

[little glen]

but if you already have it on order, its fairly easy to see if it fits or not

[fluid ravine]

Why use friction fit in a salvation

[subtle trail]

I wont, I am just wondering if I can

[fluid ravine]

Oh

[subtle trail]

I will be using the leafs 100%

but just wondering

[fluid ravine]

Mk

I was about to say

[subtle trail]

LMAO yea

[fluid ravine]

Would've been a waste of a case

[subtle trail]

The leaf spring is too op

[fluid ravine]

Indeed

I got a friend that has done certain mods to the leaf spring to make it sound better

In terms of vibration or resonance or wtv

But it's been a while so idk if he remembers

[subtle trail]

my Config will be:
Wooting 60he V2 Module
Salvation
OWLABS Ti HE
GMK Striker R2
Knights V3 stabs

[fluid ravine]

Plate?

Gonna stick with fr4?

Dude you neeeeed to get alu

Trust

[subtle trail]

I have an alu for me Venom rn

I could swap the fr4 out

but I never had the FR4 so i thought I'd try

[fluid ravine]

Naked benom

[subtle trail]

Both Venom and Wooting are gh60 I am p sure i can use the same plate

[fluid ravine]

Well you need standoffs for the plate

If you wanna use it

[subtle trail]

well my venom pcb got fried

hence why i upgraded to wooting

so the venom is gone

[fluid ravine]

Rip

Ive been using my benom a lot lately

[subtle trail]

I am almost certain i have stand offs (using on the venom)

I can probably use them

[fluid ravine]

My v2 is being used as a display piece

[subtle trail]

LMAO

I am also waiting waiting for Venom 60 v2

[fluid ravine]

PROOF that I'm still in the wooting family

[subtle trail]

coming out in summer i think

also how do i open a support ticket

if I am wanting to pick a different shipping option than what i originally picked

(it's not been shipped yet)

[fluid ravine]

Wait geon announced?

[subtle trail]

mhm

[fluid ravine]

The hell did I miss

What's the ipfates

Updates

[subtle trail]

it's got rgb

and uhh

higher scan rate

i dont remember the whole thing

[fluid ravine]

Damn

[cyan lark]

What's the sell? Interesting mount or structure in some way?

I'm not at all interested unless there's something new (for me) at the table. Like the Salvation was compelling for its leaf support structure.

[subtle trail]

How Do I contact support

[tropic urchin]

Not a 60% internals guy, just saw the case color/compatibility

[cyan lark]

I guess it's top mount which I haven't tried before

Seeing "sparkle" in the colorways is still triggering after Cosmos

[polar girder]

Which case?

What’s the what?

[cyan lark]

Gehirn, a bird 60% case

[jaunty urchin]

I want those now... sound amazing

[trail bane]

I’m considering between gambling ages and mechamelion WKL/7u HHKB

Q3 2026 sounds not optimistic for me

[tropic urchin]

Knob schedule type shiii

[trail bane]

Yeah since they’re offering MX, HE, EC compatibility

[tropic urchin]

raspberry mechamelon build? 👀

[trail bane]

That would be my first GB tbh, this way of purchasing is unusual for me, especially with the prospect of paying now and receiving the unit after a very long time.

[trail bane]

Show me

Picking a keycap set for mechamelion would be such pain in the ass

Especially for me

[lunar sand]

For the price shouldn’t you get a v2 or a module with some keycaps ? Just sayin

[harsh edge]

im not really interested in 8k or split spacebar, just the aluminium case and new switches. the total cost of the parts is well under the cost of the 60hev2 and i can always purchase a module later on.

[solar tundra]

a friend of mine wants to buy a keyboard(eu) - he doesnt got the money for a wooting and for him its too expensive. He wants a good Quality Keyboard (No Plastic Case&good outta Box feeling) - Rn he things about EGG KB65HE for 90€ rn - he got a budget around 120€ can someone help me

[humble surge]

What layout does he want? Also does it have to be sourced within the EU?

[solar tundra]

ISO DE

uhm dont have to be sourced in eu but it should be under 120€

[humble surge]

No i mean layout as in size, 60? 80? between?

[solar tundra]

60

[humble surge]

Although it having to be ISO DE limits options

[solar tundra]

Yeah QWERTZ ISO DE

And he doesnt wanna Mod he just wants to buy and play

I mean KB65HE looks pretty solid for 90€, Optimum used it in a Video and it was a 20ms difference on Latency compared to 60HE+

[tropic urchin]

if hes able to swap out those switches at some point, thats probably a decent build

looks like it is hotswappable nice

[solar tundra]

Latency shouldnt be a problem, he plays on a 20€ Keyboard rn

And i think for 90€ its pretty good for what you get

Aluminum Case

[tropic urchin]

could be worse for sure

[haughty shoal]

Are Everglide Sticky Rice V2's any good on the Wooting 60He V2?

[fluid ravine]

I completely forgot that I have a copper weight on my Leggerra

I remember stock Leggerra with cf weight is 650g

Was wondering why my froggy felt heavier than Vella

[uneven cradle]

Thicc

[sacred elm]

No, they are old and not as good as newer options. Have a look at this and listen to sound tests #🪛│modding_faq message

[tulip rapids]

does everyone hate on fr4 plate that much?

is cf plate THEEE plate

[tropic urchin]

no but it requires you owning every plate to get an accurate reading depending your build vision

[tulip rapids]

spend a hundo to find out oooo

[tropic urchin]

the two plates id recommend is probably POM/CF for DCF, but FR4 still gets the job done, it just depends on what you want out of it

FR4 is fine, just doesnt get you the volume you'll get in stiffer plates

[tulip rapids]

honestly im going to notice a huge difference coming from pc plate so

[tropic urchin]

if you prefer a softer/quieter experience you probably wouldnt like FR4

[tropic urchin]

thats bc it mutes everything

[tulip rapids]

very true

[tropic urchin]

its like the plate version of a black hole for sound

[tulip rapids]

i mean i'll still buy it and find out

i'll get fr4, cf plate

[uneven cradle]

PP best plate fr though

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin

flux switches are $45 extra

[broken notch]

The volume wheel alone is cool even

[tropic urchin]

honestly if it didnt have the volume wheel i would 100% buy the glacer startrail/midnight ink one

Silver CF Vella beating it out for me

[robust siren]

both of those is fire af and makes me sad

real

[robust siren]

this is the closest im gonna get to a fully weaved cf case

been looking for one since day1

[tropic urchin]

gotta get silverweave CF plate for full immersion

[robust siren]

ill order one with universal layout

but thats gonna be final final build

[robust siren]

WAIT I CAN USE MY CF GT60 PLATE NOW

WOOOOOOOO

but thats 6.25u only

[thorn zealot]

i love my raw pp build

[tropic urchin]

@robust siren

[robust siren]

shippings not bad

hold on

[tropic urchin]

they force you to pick a plate

[robust siren]

[tropic urchin]

however, you can essentially delete it in your cart

[robust siren]

wait do i need a custom plate for vella

[tropic urchin]

thockson didnt get one

[robust siren]

oh hell yeah

[tropic urchin]

mans came prepared

lets see if vella can fully 60% pill me

[robust siren]

this is getting more interesting

[tropic urchin]

@sacred elm new keyboard szn type shiii

new switch too

[robust siren]

you watch it

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

[robust siren]

https://tenor.com/view/sweating-sweat-nervous-gif-4738074

i already have silver but that cf looks so good

red would lock me into red colored keycaps

black is also good

[tropic urchin]

I always go with silver so then you have versatility if you change your mind on the keycaps later on

[thorn zealot]

cop gat orchids

[robust siren]

i have put the crosshairs on my gt60

[thorn zealot]

heard ppl rlyyyy like em

[tropic urchin]

red and CF accents would 100% be the best fit for those caps

[sacred elm]

but its a red primary case

what if they did black case and red cf

if any of these cats made a 80HE case i would be bankrupt by next week

I got burgundy

[tropic urchin]

now this forces me to fix my benom

[humble surge]

What will that be? 🤔

Its ok the enthusiast folks are set on the standard hiney h87 layout

[uneven cradle]

plus I already have 3 HE 60s

[cloud crane]

https://youtu.be/WrF7Qby5ip4
Something like this

[tropic urchin]

if we had a zoom64 case without volume scroll for 80HE i would buy that almost immediately

regardless of price

[humble surge]

I see, thought it was just a case.

[cloud crane]

As long as its not made by meletrix/wuque

[cloud crane]

In the flesh

[humble surge]

Cool cool, what PCB is it, who developed it?

[cloud crane]

Rakka pcb, this is kosio's unit

[humble surge]

wait, so is it a case or is it not a case? bamboozled by the video

[uneven cradle]

protag ain't cheap

This should be slightly cheaper

cherry been runnign through me mind

Used my own bumpon feets for this recording, the desk vibration was a bit overwhelming

[thorn zealot]

i finally got bumpons a week ago and they made me realize how shit the leggera feet are

[fluid ravine]

THATS WHAT IM SAYINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[cloud crane]

Hyped for this one too 🤤

Gondo HE pcb soon

[ionic breach]

gondo is so extra lmao

[cloud crane]

[tropic urchin]

where'd you cop yours from

[fluid ravine]

i think

[tropic urchin]

oring flexibility scare

[cloud crane]

He designed the HE pcb for the Prism IM case I think

[fluid ravine]

how so

[tropic urchin]

i remember it having more give than trad gasket kinda like using PP plate on poron gasket

[fluid ravine]

honestly not scary at all

[tropic urchin]

makes it super flexible pressing it on the side keys

is it worth trying different orings too

[fluid ravine]

O'ring is the most balance bounce typing experience taht works best with HE imo

[tropic urchin]

vs the default

[fluid ravine]

cus it's one o'ring rather than different gasket points

so all compression will be happening basically all over the board

rather than one point

imposing less risk of the inaccurate scan bs

if it were pcb gasket or plate gasket then yeah there's a much higher risk

well plate gasket if its plastic plate ofc

alu and cf should be fine

they're stiff enough

honestly id take the risk to like max out my typing experience

[cloud crane]

Keysnap/Pcbsnap works well enough with HE too

[stray tiger]

Yup I've switched to keysnaps in almost all of my oring boards or boards that require custom plates

but wait, theres more!

[cloud crane]

LMAO

[glacial wind]

interesting. Taishan GT is much less sharp now with pink one

wasn't expecting this much change

[cloud crane]

Taishan pink or flip kom

[glacial wind]

Will add a sound test later but pretty interesting

my main issue with taishan gt in past is they sounded so sharp and not pleasant

[stray tiger]

White one sounds almost clicky. The pink one doesn't sound as harsh but also doesn't sound great. Doesn't mean much until mounted. Looking forward to the sound test.

[granite crystal]

does anyone know of some gray/dark gray shine through keycaps that are as good as the wooting double shot PBT keycaps? i'm looking to do a gray and black theme to go along with my ghost case?

[humble surge]

Got a Ghost too, these are the closest i found when i was looking myself

[glacial wind]

good news folks, wuque/meletrix have the plate files now too, so they are looking to see how they can add more wooting plate compatibility when people buy zoom64

[granite crystal]

did you end up getting them? if so, did you like them?

[broken notch]

I am now infatuated with the zoom64 :s

That's me lol

I felt like memeing haha

[glacial wind]

good news, getting some ocean whisper and lotuses sent over, so will be able to add them to the switch database

[broken notch]

Right so, since I'm new to this. I'm trying to make my spacebar match my other keys more closely

Are there any steps beyond adding foam I can take?

[glacial wind]

mostly just that. One other thing you can try is there are some brands that offer a special built spacebar like ghostbar. Those have different sound to regular spacebar, but it's hit or miss whether that will sound the same or not

[calm pulsar]

I'd say trying to get the stabs to sound as clean as possible, but spacebar will always be different

[glacial wind]

and color matching is an issue too

[broken notch]

Hmm, thanks

This was pre-foam pads

(UFOs)

[glacial wind]

you just have to embrace the spacebar sounding different i think

it's very hard to get to matching right

[broken notch]

Okay, just wanted to make sure. Thanks Sno

[fallen pecan]

https://www.keytok.com/collections/space-bar/products/cherry-ghostbar < this is the spacebar that jed mentioned

[broken notch]

Interesting, though I'd lose my pretty print :(

This is with the foam pads atm

I guess it's not that bad

[glacial wind]

is that stock stabs? I can't tell if I hear a bit of rattle or not there

[broken notch]

Yes sir

Stock stabs

[glacial wind]

phone video always a bit tricky to tell things, but stabs could use a bit of a relube i think to get that rattle out

[broken notch]

Hmm, okay, I'll get some lube, can't hurt to have some

Any lube uh, recommendations?

[glacial wind]

there's lots of options. Mostly you want something thicker for the wires in particular. So molykote or some sort of dielectric grease or xht-bdz if you want super thick (but have to be careful of overdoing it there)

my only issue with relubing is sometimes the lube ends up as expensive as just buying new stabs that can just use 205g0 to lube lol

like i love xht-bdz myself, but the price of it is often as much as buying some knight or typeplus x yikb stabs

[broken notch]

OH NO

This led isn't working??

I never realised this

It's "on" in wootility

[glacial wind]

hrm that's no good. Double check by changing color and see, but if not then might be time to put in a ticket if you've had keyboard less than 2 years

led warranty is 2 years so we cover it if you have a failure within that period

[broken notch]

Yes, I've had it since last march?

Do they send a new led or a new pcb and do I exchange it?

[glacial wind]

yeah then easily still within warranty, so make a ticket for sure if it's an led failure

[broken notch]

Since I only have one keeb

[glacial wind]

I'm not fully sure the procedure since i'm not in the CS team, but in past with my own replacements I had the replacement case shipped over first then I only had to ship the case back after i got new one. That was with a case issue though so don't know how it works for led specifically

[broken notch]

Okay, thank you, checking the hub now!

Kinda sad now jeez

[sacred elm]

New PCB

[robust siren]

[broken notch]

Thanks Shafie

[sacred elm]

Can try factory restoring first

[robust siren]

o7 60he led

[broken notch]

I did try cycle mode but it's all colors

Currently compressing a video to send rip

factory reset did not help alas

[glacial wind]

i have to say these 8k hubs are way smaller than the photos make it seem

quite neat little things

[broken notch]

You also bought the ZNEO?

I have one in transit to me :3

[glacial wind]

I figured it’d be good to properly check one and see, since we get people asking about hubs from time to time

[broken notch]

Can you do me a BIG favor? :D I have a gif i'd like to see if it works on it

But I understand if you can't, work times and all

[glacial wind]

oh i haven't tested it out yet yeah not enough time right now so it's sitting in the box lol

[broken notch]

Hehe

I bought a red one!

But damn that new Zoom64 case is poking my eyes out

[glacial wind]

yeah i think it'll be popular. I talked to them today and they said they're trying to make the bundle pricing nice too so zoom64 + set of flux switches should be a decent pricing for people who need both

[broken notch]

Wicked

It has a dial!!!

[glacial wind]

they're making a google form which they'll share in a bit to get estimate of how many people are interested in which colors, bundle etc

[broken notch]

Neat

Okay, video reported and support ticket made, I am at ease, zen even, again

You know, I'm not even sure if it ever worked to begin with

It's one of those easy to miss LEDs

[glacial wind]

honestly i check my led once when i first use keyboard then never again so I wouldn't even know myself if an led on my board broke

[broken notch]

Or maybe I'm gaslighting myself

It was coincidence since I wanted to show my foam on the spacebar lol

I never really power on my keyboard while swapping keycaps , so dumb (un) luck

[chilly mural]

Naisu, cant wait for da test

[broken notch]

Unrelated but I see those Haribo gummy bears

[glacial wind]

they're the best snack.

haribo gummy bears are superior to all other forms of snacks

[broken notch]

I am now repeating their slogan over and over again, fuck.

[calm pulsar]

I wonder how the slogan sounds in korean

[broken notch]

Silly question, perhaps. If I'm getting a new PCB under warranty for my 60HE+, can I pay the difference to receive the 60HE v2 PCB? Has anyone asked this before?

[sacred elm]

Unlikely

They will just replace the PCB

[broken notch]

Fair enough!

I'll shoot my shot anyway, I think

Alright we got new bundle pricing form for zoom64: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc_nDnOoScFzmTuVRHEsQbEV59nET_n3SFV5fJFXQA6U_FI6A/viewform

go fill it out so they know what people think and what colors they should go with

[broken notch]

Lets gooo

[tulip rapids]

sno do you remember the Korean site you used to order those retro ps1994 set

I want to see if they ship to my country

[glacial wind]

they definitely don't ship out of korea unfortunately

it was via naver shop, so you can't even order from that site without korean special account

[ionic breach]

bro the price is kinda really good

fk my chud tkl enjoyer life

[tulip rapids]

you think I should risk it with aliexpress or just GG at this point

drop had them at one point but sold out too

[glacial wind]

yeah 165 for aluminium + full set of flux switches is solid pricing, even less for acrylic version which launches later

[broken notch]

Midnight ink my beloved

[uneven cradle]

Must save money to buy more lenses

[ionic breach]

i think everytime 60he gets another case, it makes me more sad that 80he is not full tkl

[chilly mural]

done, hopefully they do splitbar

[glacial wind]

so apparently swagkeys has a special version of the flux switch too. Not sure what it is if it's special color or what, but they're sending me some over

some sort of special collab version for south korean audience

[broken notch]

Oh nice

[sacred elm]

Yeah, looks like creamy color deep clacky Flux

[ionic breach]

btw did u get to try the squishe yet?

the one from the youtuber

[glacial wind]

squashy messaged me saying he was sending me some but i haven't received anything so not sure if it's coming or if it's just slow to ship

[ionic breach]

ic

[acoustic galleon]

for keycaps, any keycaps work with the Wooting 60HE+ or its the Double Shot Backlit PBT ? I try to find others keycaps can fit but i prefer ask first

[sacred elm]

Aren't those just recolored Raptor v2/Crystal?

[ionic breach]

any mx compatible ones

if ur unsure just send us the link

most should be

[broken notch]

Most keys with an MX slot should (lil cross)

[acoustic galleon]

oki

thanks

[ionic breach]

might be yea, i think same materials diff springs

but havent seen anyone get try it yet

[fluid ravine]

I ain't gonna lie squishe sounds so mid xd

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G5xT2W4_PM came by this earlier

Not gonna say much but damn I feel like they rank lower than crystals imo but could most likely still be a recolor of the same switch since its from HMX and different recording audio from all the yt sound tests I heard so far of the squishe (sound wise, going by the ear)

[ionic breach]

i dont hate it

not my favourite but its not terrible

[glacial wind]

yeah seems like a decent switch but hard to compete with all the other options out nowadays

i imagine when they started working on it there were way less options

[deft jolt]

very nice @glacial wind

I like this

[deft jolt]

I have squishe now

I feel like it would have been better if they released in 2024, before the nicer switches came out in 2025

[glacial wind]

oh i guess japanese twitter is noticing the updates for switch selector

[deft jolt]

yeah some Japanese dude posted it

just wanted to compliment your choice / suggestions for the switch selector

[glacial wind]

we have a bunch more coming with batch 3, but will take a bit as i wanted to include ttc flip, horse, nova and ufo in them and i still haven't received the horses yet

[deft jolt]

those are really nice

my horse arriving next week, hbu

[random dagger]

what is the performance impact of putting in the switch foam?

[glacial wind]

no idea, rep said they were sending them soon last week so I'll see when it arrives

[glacial wind]

your switches will be inaccurate basically

[deft jolt]

not that noticeable no?

[deft jolt]

aight

[glacial wind]

not super noticable IF you don't use sensitive settings, but it basically makes your accuracy suck at top and bottom of press if you're using something like 0.1

[random dagger]

i get that for competitive games, but for a pleb like me who types and plays mmos / sp games it shouldn't matter right?

[glacial wind]

switches will still work but 0.1 may not be 0.1 anymore

it may drift a bunch between 0.1 and 0.2 etc

[random dagger]

i remember reading somewhere that with future updates that will be addressed and fixed

[glacial wind]

it cannot be fixed

it's basically we program it so that the system knows 'yeah this switch sucks so give it a lot of leeway'

[deft jolt]

ah yeah for sure

not everyone uses super sensitive settings

[glacial wind]

for example we didn't include tecsee/raed switches in this round of switch selector updates because just the inaccuracy from the dampening made none of the models accurate at top/bottom for the switch selector and made it pointless

[deft jolt]

btw for switch foam , u are talking about putting foam between the plate and pcb yes

[random dagger]

i take it back it was for calib not for that SORRY sir

[random dagger]

yup

[deft jolt]

I think as long as the switch is properly in, and u screw the plate and pcb together well

[glacial wind]

it's basically like nerfing your keyboard in mmorpg terms. You lose let's say 10-20% accuracy at top and bottom of your press

[deft jolt]

it should not affect too much or not that noticeable

[glacial wind]

if you're fine with that then you can do it, but just be aware

[deft jolt]

when I put a shit ton of foam, it raised the initial actuation , so example 0.1 has to be 0.3

[glacial wind]

the way the system works is basically will say "okay this guys keyboard switches are inaccurate as hell, let's just make 0.1 = a giant range instead of 0.1"

so in general we don't recommend it but if you want to do it then that's fine but you're basically choosing to make your keyboard inaccurate

[chilly mural]

is tecsee fine if I just give it a static actuation point like 3mm?

[random dagger]

probably what i will do is not put the switch foam but only the pet tape

iirc the 60hev2 has it

[sacred elm]

thin PET film is fine to use

[deft jolt]

depends what sound u like

but I like jade delta the most

[glacial wind]

yeah it's fine even if you don't. Just that it may not be super accurate with getting small movements correct at the top and bottom, but I assume if you use that switch then it's more for work type setting and not for comp gaming anyway

[chilly mural]

Thanks.

[hybrid condor]

just got all this. missing anything? (I have a strap for the strap thing btw). any mods to make this better? bought for aesthetics, sound and fortnite competitive.

Thx for letting me know 🙏

[trail bane]

[inner granite]

hey that's pretty similar to my build

[stoic ocean]

@trail bane it's all good, I have the money for the Gehirn60, I plan to get it with the Rakka in Mechameleon

or I'll take the aged one

[trail bane]

Nice

[stoic ocean]

Otherwise I'll take both🤫

[cloud crane]

Peak

[stoic ocean]

But did you buy it yourself?

[cloud crane]

Hope STR doesn't make things worse this time

[stoic ocean]

str?

[trail bane]

Not today

I have plenty time to get it

[stoic ocean]

you're going to take it in gambling

I saw Geon, Manu, and Alexotos' versions yesterday; they all have a dark gray color. What really changed was more the appearance; some were porous and others had gradients.

[trail bane]

Yeah, for now I’m mentally set on Gambling Ages, and we’ll see what happens next. That’s why I don’t want to order right away if I change my mind, I want to be able to get exactly what I want instead

[stoic ocean]

Choosing the color is worse than a DayZ gaming session

Initially, I was really determined to get into gambling, but then I saw Taner's pictures on the Deltakeyco server and I changed my mind. Now I see Alex's aged version, and I want both of them.

[trail bane]

At least I’m choosing only between two options

[stoic ocean]

For example, I didn't have any trouble with the Vella.

[cloud crane]

The manufacturer

[stoic ocean]

The chameleon and the aged sound are really intriguing because I've never seen anything like it before.

Anyway, I don't know why I'm still talking, you just need to take two lol

[kind helm]

what is this, i saw the image then immediately went to check my bag and it says leggera. my brain melted for 2 seconds.

[stoic ocean]

What's the problem with them?

[calm pulsar]

[cloud crane]

Long story

😂

[kind helm]

i cant tell if it was a mistake or intentional.

ten key less -> a less -> legger

[stoic ocean]

baionlenja took guys with problems ? Is that what you want to tell me?

[cloud crane]

Previously STR had qc issues with some of their boards

[calm pulsar]

seems to me a mistake that geon didnt want to fix

[calm pulsar]

hmm

[cloud crane]

Well now Bowl is overseeing the project maybe things will change for the better

[kind helm]

its okay, me being a W fan boy came up with a W logic for it.

[calm pulsar]

geon be praised🙏

[kind helm]

@fluid ravine this vid summoned me back btw, came back just to say OMG this is so sexy.

i didn't know thock boi got snail too, snail is so sexy...

[uneven rapids]

hey guys, I used a vacuum to clean my 80he (with the keycaps on). I just read later on about static discharge that the vacuum can cause. Do you think it's safe to do so?

[kind helm]

3 dolla!

(or grab something similar to this and just brush, kbdfan shipping probably expensive af)

[broken notch]

Thoughts so far? Classic Jurassic Park theme keycaps I'm designing

[boreal dust]

why is it that sometimes when pressing my W key in games like val my character will just stop moving? any help? is it a switch issue or is it the foam in my keyboard m?

or is it the accuation point in wootility?

[lime yew]

if you have rapid trigger very low like 0.1mm it could be that you lift your finger a tiny bit without you noticing it. You will stop moving then.

[shy folio]

are you using the Tenz profile? his settings were too sensitive for me

[boreal dust]

i am not

[boreal dust]

let me try this out i’ll lyk

[lunar sand]

anyone tried FBB keycaps ? 1.7mm PBTs

[glacial wind]

yeah they're great for the price

i have a set on one of my boards right now

[cloud crane]

Try CRP, 1.3mm PBT 🤤

[static yew]

Hey I’m currently unscrewing the last screw from my board but it won’t seem to come out. The rest came out really easy but this one wont budge and the paint is actually coming off the screw and the head is being damaged. How do I get it out?

[robust siren]

try using a rubber band between the screw driver and the screw head

for more grip

[solar tundra]

@glacial wind will gravastar ufo switches come to wootility? i rly love them btw and i cant feel what you described. They butter smooth and 0 Wobble

sry for ping

[broken notch]

Yes

[tropic urchin]

Think he said they’re making next batch

[glacial wind]

Yep next batch probably. But next batch will be a bit because I’m waiting to gather all the switches together first before sending them over for data collection

[tulip rapids]

is the switch selector available for everyone or its still in beta

[glacial wind]

It’s beta, but public beta so anyone can grab it there

If you want it I’d just go use the beta, it’s quite stable these days

[tropic urchin]

only time I can think of having an issue with the beta was day 1 of DCF addition, but other than that its been pretty much perfect

[tulip rapids]

w video

[glacial wind]

Ty. The comment about superglue was a bit confusing but I’ll just put that as YouTube comments doing their thing lol

I’m not sure why someone would want less permanent glue on a permanent mod

[tulip rapids]

just saw that comment now lool

you explained everything very well in the video and showed easily how to install the sponge or just the screw option. I liked how you included the link for the extra part too (like for the case sponge )

[static yew]

i ended up getting it. the screw driver i had was a cheap one ended up getting worn down. Finished my keyboard now though. looks great imo, it was bone stock before today. i also slapped some tape on, better foam

Do you also think it's a good idea to get the Gehirn60 in both the chameleon and aged versions? 😭

One for writing and the other for playing

[hybrid condor]

Doesn’t yes mean that there are some things that I should get lol?

[trail bane]

My fault lol, but you’re good that’s all you need

[fluid ravine]

I can't answer that mane

[uneven cradle]

I'd advise against getting two versions of the same case, but hey that's your decision to make if you like it that much

[tropic urchin]

I’m ready for Vella

[fluid ravine]

Bella brothers

[tropic urchin]

I cut the EPDM foam that I ruined and put it in the venom and it’s sounding nice with FR4

[fluid ravine]

[tropic urchin]

TKL version 🌹

[subtle trail]

what Keycap set is that

[tropic urchin]

GMK lazurite

[hybrid condor]

niceeee wish theres was a 80he v2 also. had to get 60 v2 for the performance over 80he

also price was less

[tropic urchin]

Performance should be the same

[subtle trail]

I am almost certain 60 he v2 is just a smaller 80he

same polling

[tropic urchin]

60v2 was bringing the 60HE in line with 80HE internals with a better stock experience

[subtle trail]

same scan rate

I can't wait to get my module this week or next week

[hybrid condor]

really? I thought 60he and 80he were same specs, different size. or is it the other way around and 60he is worse than both?

cuz I thought the v2 brought in some new stuff

[subtle trail]

80he has 8k pollijng

and higher scan rate I am p sure

[tropic urchin]

60HE+ was capped at 1k polling, 80HE dropped with 8k and then 60HEv2 dropped so both boards were equal

The major difference is what the stock keyboard comes with preinstalled

FR4 plate + friction fit pad and tikkens

[subtle trail]

Stock experience is much better on v2

that's for sure

better switches

better fit

all around better KB

though I don't think Unless you have f you money you should upgrade from 60he+ to v2

[tall rune]

does anyone have the stock 80he

[humble surge]

All Aliexpress switches shipped

[tropic urchin]

@fluid ravine

[fluid ravine]

Yayyy

[tropic urchin]

Ty for the feedback sir

[fluid ravine]

Yeppers

[hybrid condor]

wow! there really isnt a perf difference lol. I was wrong, well 60he may end up being better for me anyway. just sad theres no arrow keys

[fluid ravine]

Mod tap

[tropic urchin]

Yeah it’s mainly layout preference/ aesthetics

Fun having a TKL/60% and experimenting with diff builds

[fluid ravine]

I need a TKL board

[hybrid condor]

whats that?

[fluid ravine]

But I think another 60% is going to my next build

[hybrid condor]

maybe ill experiment again later with 80he

[fluid ravine]

It seperate key functions
Tapping vs holding

[hybrid condor]

I think smaller is better for mousepad space for frtnite lol

[fluid ravine]

For example my right shift, alt, control, and menu key when tapped they're arrow keys. But when I hold they do their actual functions

[tall rune]

guys how good is the 80hes stock switches coz i ordered mine i red about them and still dont know what to really expect

or is it better off upgrading the switches straight away

[tropic urchin]

kinda dogshit unless you get tikkens which are good starters

[hybrid condor]

ohhh! I didnt know you could do that lol. that is super cool actually, I guess I never had the luxury of a good kb lol

[tropic urchin]

i wouldnt get the jade/raw unless you get em for free or smthn

[trail bane]

There’s no way that you cut your 80he into this

[humble surge]

Tikkens good, v2s not so much. But you can work with them for a month or two before you get better.

[tropic urchin]

I cut my EPDM foam, i just borrowed some keys

[trail bane]

Hype

[tropic urchin]

the silver CF accents gonna take it over the top

[tall rune]

ahh ok i see thanks

[humble surge]

Hey lander, did they ship your new wire module?

[tropic urchin]

if you want cheap and good starter switches id go for owlab ti he or tikkens probably

[trail bane]

Lemme check

[tall rune]

okok ill look into them and what comes with the stock 80he i kinda forgot

if you know if not imma check

[tropic urchin]

i think its the lekker v2s

[humble surge]

60g v2s

[tall rune]

so the lighter ones better overall im guessing

[humble surge]

Just skip v2s imo, get tikken

[trail bane]

No, label just created

[humble surge]

Good enough okay, they atleast bothered with it. I was surprised on a Sunday

[tall rune]

kk any good place to buy them at

[humble surge]

From wooting lol, when you order your 80HE

[tall rune]

Oh lmao 😭 coz sometimes people would tell me other places but should have expected that answer

[humble surge]

Well you can select it as your default, and why wouldnt you, since its the better option.

[tall rune]

Yea true

Tbf

[humble surge]

If you plan to get even better ones relatively soon, then it doesnt really matter what default you choose.

I personally was fine with v2s for months, but then decided to try stuff, there are much more stable switches it turns out ^^

[tall rune]

Yea I think imma see how much I like the v2s that come stock and if I start to dislike them then imma look for upgrades and you never know maybe they release something better soon

But thanks for the help and advice

Appreciate it

[pliant tinsel]

Someone knows where you can get them and what the name is ?

[tulip rapids]

randomfrankp?

[pliant tinsel]

Yess

I found out the name but everywhere i look their sold out 💔

Is it like a thing that keycaps set are getting sniped and sold out quickly ?

[tropic urchin]

depends on the set, and if its a set thats always available or if it was part of a group buy that had a limited run

[broken notch]

@humble surge made this today

[pliant tinsel]

Ohhh okay, thanks for letting me know

[humble surge]

I think it looks great, well done

[tropic urchin]

there are ways of obtaining it most likely, but essentially gotta check every regional vendor and prob r/mechmarket depending where you're located

[polar girder]

Yo sweet video on the Vella. Sounds really good! @fluid ravine

[fluid ravine]

thank you

[tropic urchin]

I’m getting the silver CF variant 🥶

2 wolves type shiii

[trail bane]

What switches should i grab?

[tropic urchin]

Nuffin new other than UFOs

[tulip rapids]

👽

they heavy bruh

[trail bane]

My current list is: WS Ocean whisper, WS pinkshi(i can’t remember how they called), duhuk penguins, geon raws, woot poms, ttc 035, tecsee tactiles+linear, TTC Horses(both versions), unionwell blazing bloom

[humble surge]

Pink Lotus

[trail bane]

Ngl pinkshi sounds way better

[humble surge]

then call it that, i just clarified since you couldn't remember

[tulip rapids]

pinkshi sounds tuff

[south swallow]

has anyone tried the ttc flip kom at all?

[polar girder]

Oh fk. Sounds sexy

[humble surge]

yes, but forgot his name

shadow something

[polar girder]

For what build?

[humble surge]

search in this channel

[trail bane]

Good switch

[polar girder]

Yeah just get UFO’s

And tell me if I should get them

[humble surge]

I can tell you that since December Bigsly

[south swallow]

i currently have the wooting ttc kom rgb which i am happy with, but i like the ttc switches a lot so i was intrigued

i imagine they're very similar the the regular rgb koms besides the bottom housing and steam as far as i can see?

[polar girder]

Thoughts?

[humble surge]

Rock stable, unique and nice sound, no weird feeling others are saying about it

[polar girder]

What other HE switches you tried?

What do you like about the sound?

Stock lube adequate?

[trail bane]

I could say that they’re easily S switch for rhythm games and -A for other stuff

[humble surge]

V2 60g, Tikken, MMD C1 and Nova/Star Arashi.
Sound is sharp but not bothersome or loud, don't think i heard it on any other switch.
Stock lube seems adequate, but even if you wanted to lube, it would be a hassle.

and i have these coming aswell

[polar girder]

Yeah seems like opening them is tough. You been using them since you got them?

[humble surge]

yeah they are in this board since December 1 or 2

[tropic urchin]

Venom

[polar girder]

Sex. Which plate and keycaps?

[humble surge]

Been great on both gaming and typing

[polar girder]

Nice. Yeah they’re the switch I find most interesting atm

[tropic urchin]

I’ll be prob using CF when it arrives, but currently have FR4 on for now

Haven’t decided on official keycaps for it yet so it gets the main keycap treatment

[humble surge]

I did too, so i gambled and got them before pretty much everyone here. Turned out well.

[polar girder]

I’m running KOM POM but have some Tikkens I need to try

[polar girder]

Solid.

[humble surge]

They are half the price now pretty much, but still no regret.
