what would happen if i used 2.5mm o rings and set it to 2.3mm on the switch selector in wootility? would it be compatible or would there be issues?

#

you really should avoid using orings at all cost

#

we all advise this

#

dont even know why even bother using orings but less noise i kinda understand but the biggest problem is the thought behind "shorter travel"

#

full of inaccuracy
we talked about it years ago and already came to the conclusion since then havo

#

i don't wanna come off as rude but just saying AyaDeed

i forgot what board it reminds me

of

#

mode? envoy?

#

i forgor

#

encore

#

argh i dont remember the mode keyboards

timid saddle
fluid ravine
#

but if i were to answer the question it would depend on where you put the oring

thorn zealot
fluid ravine
#

if its on the keycap, no you dont need to change it

#

if it were in the switch (yes we have tried taht before) then yes

fluid ravine
#

exactly the thought

#

arghhhh it has the thin side bezels i loveeee

#

#

that inward dip is real nice as well

thorn zealot
fluid ravine
#

oh be so for real this shi edging me HAHA

fluid ravine

the agar dips on the sides

but the curve is not that big in comparison

#

$229, lowk pretty valid price i can't lie

timid saddle
fluid ravine
#

i would just use the switch normally and use dampening mods on your board

#

use a muted switch or smth

#

again i'd avoid using orings

timid saddle
#

so i dont see how theres a difference in how i place it if im still bottoming them out

#

yeah i just wanted to see if the RT works

fluid ravine
#

its all coming from the pcb and magnet

#

then what would fail?

fluid ravine
#

so the initial actuation wouldn't be accurate?

Odd question

Will wooting ever consider a dual led pcb?

Bottom + top, I mean

WLED?

Oh

I don't need a definite answer naturally

glossy pagoda
#

Probably not, hard to justify the cost and extra power draw

broken notch
#

Yeah, makes a lot of sense

#

Okay, I promise this is the last time I spam an update for my custom keycaps (until they're printed of course)

#

Lots of references

These are all custom SVGs that took forever to make haha

Onto printing we go!

dual led also seems like a nightmare for formats and ease of installation too

Oh nice the plate file is out

#

I can finally cook up the gt60 split iso plate

jolly tundra
#

can someone explain how the ttc flip is different from the ttc kom pom which i currently have? as far as i can tell they lubed it , but also the magnet is on the top now instead of on the bottom. does anyone know if this would affect the switch performance wise ? or is it purely for sound

fallen pecan
#

flip kom magnet still at the bottom, it's just inside the stem

#

sounds nicer, basically no perf diff

glacial wind
#

basically take a ttc switch, encase the stem fully in plastic and add proper lubing

jolly tundra
#

@fallen pecan @glacial wind ah ok so i guess if i upgraded it would pretty much feel the same if mines already lubed but it would sound better

glacial wind
#

yeah basically better sound

#

if you really wanted to try something more different, i'd wait and see how ttc horses turn out

#

those are interesting enough with new design changes

jolly tundra
#

it looks interesting but i havent found a lot of info about it

glacial wind
#

it only just came out so very few units out there

jolly tundra
glacial wind
#

yeah, all cosmetic stuff though

#

one version has special limited edition numbering and a special extra cosmetic top thing added, and another is just the top thing, and another is neither of those

#

but all 3 same switch basically

#

and white/black is just colors

#

so 6 versions out there lol

#

ttc is so good i hope they make another low profile he switch

#

im currently using a made68 air which uses ttc kom minis

#

Well basically, I built myself a keyboard about a year and a half ago, but Ive been having switches fail on me faster than I would have thought?

The first set took maybe 9 months to a year before some of the most used keys (like E or WASD) started not registering presses and sometimes double pressing. Im sure this is a switch issue because I swapped them with spares and it went away.

Eventually I ran out of spares and I decided to get new keys because it felt odd they were dying after less than a year. I bought a full set of gateron oil kings, which I thought would be a nice high quality switch but im experiencing the same thing after maybe 6 months this time.

cyan lark
#

Maybe you need to clean your board more frequently? I've never personally had a switch die on me from just regular use.

tropic urchin
#

Granted it was an ASUS Rog board so it was hardly the best MX has to offer but still

inner flare
little glen
#

are you keeping your board clean?

#

did you look inside one of the malfunctioning switches to see what the issue may be?

cyan lark
#

If you have a multimeter you could test continuity w/ one of the problematic switches to diagnose like Wizard suggested.

okay so i just recorded sound tests for nova, kailh ice creams and taishan gt pink. No time to edit them now but will get them online tomorrow. Taishan gt pink sucks imo lol

#

check if there's some sort of corrosion or material inside the switch that could cause issues with the actuation

#

taishan gt pink is the weirdest switch i've ever tested

regal patio
#

Are the gravastar UFO switches any good?

little glen
glacial wind
#

check out the database for sound test

regal patio
#

So the keytok nova are the deepest sounding?

glacial wind
#

yeah, but also a very muted kind of deep sound, so it depends what you're looking for

little glen
#

listen to the soundtests and come to your own conclusions

regal patio
#

There is no sound test

#

For the keytok nova

glacial wind
#

keytok will be up tomorrow so can check back then, but it's basically almost same as jade ultra

little glen
#

ah sno only just recorded it

glacial wind
#

if you listen to jade ultra it's very very similar

regal patio
#

Okay thanks a lot

cyan lark
glacial wind
#

taishan gt is impressive because i hated the first version for being too sharp and plasticky sounding, but now this new version is the opposite. It's like an accidental almost silent switch but not silent enough to be a silent switch

tropic urchin

so now it's just like extremely muted to the point there's no clean sound

#

The only real downside aside from tightness is that they don’t have an opener so you gotta butcher them to lube

glacial wind
#

it's not so much like friction rubbing, but a constant 'oh this switch feels like a vice is holding it at all times' kind of feel

#

so you get stability in exchange for that tight feeling

sacred elm
#

I don't expect it to be as bad as raptor v2 so it's fine. As long as there's no spring rubbing against the housing or some bs I'm good, they seem to sound nice and are very stable

Hi! I was sent from my post here (https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1462870406200299653) to this channel 😄 Basically i have changed the springs in my Lekker Tikkens with L45 Springs (from the wooting store). Recently i am having the feeling that when pressing down on my keys that there is a slight scratchy/grindy feeling sometimes. This is for most of the keys. I was extremly careful when changing the springs to not touch any factory lubed parts. I also have an unmodified (stock spring) Lekker Tikken switch here for which i am getting the same feeling as well (but less). So it might not be due to my spring swap. Nevertheless i wanted to know if its worth it to re-lube all my switches to get rid of that feeling. Or if i just need to get used to that feeling haha (maybe its just normal and i am too sensitive). What do you think?

I'm just saying the import tax is going to be decent

#

What is VAT in DE right now, 19-21?

little glen
#

19

humble surge
#

19%

untold wigeon
#

So 89.50+17.00= 106.50€ for 90 WS DC switches

#

that's 1.18€ per switch

little glen
#

ok

untold wigeon
#

61.6% overpay

cyan lark
#

I'm sure they'd buy from a local seller but they don't know of one that stocks them. This seems like berating the poor guy with problems and not providing a solution.

untold wigeon
#

It's his money lol I'm just trying to let him know he might as well pay for a proxy service to reship the AE switches instead of overpaying 61%

cyan lark

Sorry if that seems harsh, I just think they know at this point.

Package Forwarding is a thing

humble surge

I dont think its a harmful intent

ive been putting off buying dcf for months now and they havent arrived at a european store

I didn't think it was bad intent, just maybe not productive is all

I just helped a portuguese guy buy switches that were 2x the price in his country

Exact same situation

And yes, there are options for him to save a bit more, could present them.

#

Idk why people jump to that always lol

untold wigeon
#

If the vendors in his country are extorting customers by reselling switches for twice or thrice the value I don't see how that is a problem

#

Didn't Wooting keyboards get scalped at one time too

#

I understand paying 10% or 15% over the MSRP

humble surge
#

Fakes are being sold as we speak, but idk about the scalping

untold wigeon
#

But taxing 150% for certain items is not acceptable in my eyes

humble surge
#

I mean forwarding exists and its completely legal and proper

#

Yeah, wooting even warned us about, their software can tell clones apart.

#

9% is a way lower cost than 61%

my friend wants a custom and i am

asking for his preferences

rn i am on "does he want a wooting or not"

uneven cradle

Honestly unless he has a custom, he probably won't notice the difference between MX and HE

#

Unless they're use to tactiles or clicky switches

lyric nimbus

im not recommending him a wooting unless if he says yes to both

  • if he plans to play games where precision is everything (osu, gd, etc) and he plans to play them at an incredibly high level
  • he doesnt give a shit about how the kb sounds
