Evil dolch

[trail bane]

Gn

[lyric nimbus]

ok nvm i cant suggest neo80

he wants prebuilt

[little glen]

German - aussie cultural exchange by aussies buying gmk from oblo and germans buying gmk from daily clack

[lyric nimbus]

evo80 doesnt have that many good color options though

😭

[fallen pecan]

Crush80, end of story

[little glen]

Evo80 has the only color option you need

[cloud crane]

Evo > Crush

WOBKeys support is ass

[fallen pecan]

Dont need support if its a prebuilt

[cloud crane]

😭

[little glen]

Sandgold or purple is all you‘ll ever need

Fuck all the other color options

[lyric nimbus]

hes looking for black

[little glen]

I spit on his choice

[humble surge]

loool

[little glen]

Black is for cowards and silver is for fence sitters

[humble surge]

I guess good thing Ego80 doesn't have silver

will have to decide between space gray or ice blue

[little glen]

Being fr tho, sandgold or purple both loon amazing

[humble surge]

real

[lyric nimbus]

i agree

[little glen]

I really want to get one of those qk boards in sandgold

[lyric nimbus]

sandgold looks really nice

[humble surge]

I saw Sandgold only once, but it looks amazing on housing

Hex80 i think it was

[little glen]

That split alice in sandgold has been looking super delicious for about a year now

[humble surge]

and Purple is just obvious

[lyric nimbus]

should i just suggest him

crush80

[uneven cradle]

I purposefully don't buy stuff from daily clack

[little glen]

They had some super cheap gmk sets at one point

So i got 2 gmk sets + 2 sets of typeplus stabs for like 250 aud

🤯

[uneven cradle]

Yeah they did, I think they're alright for in stock sets but anything on order I wouldn't trust them to get it done anytime soon

[little glen]

Fair

I cant wait to get my gmk mictlan rebirth stuff

[tulip rapids]

love the idea but i hate the orange

[little glen]

I ordered those skull keycaps

Since those molds will be freely available after

It could be possible to make a skull keycap set

If you dont care about profile

[lyric nimbus]

ok

he doesnt like the evo80 colors

[little glen]

Getting ragebaited through a proxy

[humble surge]

[uneven cradle]

Self griefing get him the keychron

[little glen]

Keychron is the death of standards

Thats when you know you‘ve given up

[lyric nimbus]

https://www.keychron.com/collections/tkl-keyboard/products/keychron-q3-max-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard

[humble surge]

Interesting take

[lyric nimbus]

do i just drop him the keychron

[little glen]

A fate worse than death

[humble surge]

drop it tbh, so we can kek when he declines that too

[lyric nimbus]

he said nah

hes just going with

neo80cu

[humble surge]

[lyric nimbus]

what else does he need

if hes getting the neo80

[cloud crane]

Yooooo

Knight V4/Typeplus stabilizers

[lyric nimbus]

also like

he has 0 parts

so what else

[cloud crane]

The switches I mentioned above if he wants silent tactiles

Keycaps is preference

[lyric nimbus]

what about like

tools

[cloud crane]

Nanch screwdriver kit

[lyric nimbus]

hes built pcs before

[cloud crane]

Lube get some 205g0

[lyric nimbus]

i think he doesnt need a screwfriver kit

[cloud crane]

Oh ok

[cloud crane]

From divinikeys or any alexotos list us vendor

[lyric nimbus]

how about unikeys

i ordered my owlabs ti he from there

wait

doesnt he need dielectric grease too then

[hybrid condor]

Switches * I’m tweaking hehe

[deft jolt]

all good

the best switch is too subjective

do u like the tikkens

[deft jolt]

cos best for me might not be best for u ykyk

[lyric nimbus]

switches - https://unikeyboards.com/products/hmx-moksae-silent-tactile-switch-factory-lubed-10pcs - pick up 9/10 of these to get 90/100 switches, depending on whether you want 3 spares/13 spares
stabilizers - https://divinikey.com/products/swagkeys-knight-stabilizers - YOU WILL NEED TO LUBE THESE!!!!!!!
lube - https://divinikey.com/products/205-grade-0-switch-lubricant?variant=31789947387969
brush - https://divinikey.com/products/divinikey-brush?variant=40459713282113
support fork - https://divinikey.com/collections/keyboard-tools/products/geon-plate-support-fork - use this when installing your switches so the plate doesnt bend onto the pcb and make it a pain in the ass to install
switch puller - https://divinikey.com/products/tx-switch-puller?variant=40263073169473
keycap puller - https://divinikey.com/collections/keyboard-tools/products/spiral-metal-keycap-puller

[hybrid condor]

I havent got them yet. none of my parts for my keyboard have arrived yet 3:

[deft jolt]

when u get it, u can try it first and u can let us know what u like and don't like about it

[lyric nimbus]

@cloud crane this is what im sending him

[cloud crane]

Unikeys also good

[hybrid condor]

ok sounds good thx for help

[lyric nimbus]

does he need any other information

[deft jolt]

i personally think Tikken is so so for sound and feel , but it's very tight and accurate

[cloud crane]

Nah he should be good with 205g0 even for the stabs

[lyric nimbus]

ok

sigma

what else do i need to tell him

[cloud crane]

Prolly ok for now 🤔

[lyric nimbus]

will he need the support fork

[cloud crane]

Probably

[lyric nimbus]

ok

[humble surge]

"good luck"

[lyric nimbus]

i

i just tell him PP plate

right

PP plate, tri-mode ANSI pcb, WK layout

[deft jolt]

complete the mission

[cloud crane]

Tri mode 😭

[lyric nimbus]

ok for keycaps

where do i link him now

[cloud crane]

Check alexotos vendor list

[lyric nimbus]

ok my job here is done

[fallen pecan]

don't forget the free 3 year tech support you signed up for since you're supplying him with a parts list

[lyric nimbus]

FUUUCK

[cloud crane]

[deft jolt]

hi jabberwock

[fallen pecan]

[chilly mural]

It'll be alright, if the keeb is good enough you only have to do it for a month

[lyric nimbus]

anyways also

what else can i do to make my 2he potentially look nicer

[waxen mirage]

Does anyone have the 60He v2 full optimum?

[sacred elm]

I have optimum case and v2, but not keycaps

[tropic urchin]

Looks heavy

[waxen mirage]

Do you attach it by friction?

[sacred elm]

Of course

[sacred elm]

It is

[tropic urchin]

soooooo heavy

[calm pulsar]

I could bench press that easily

[tropic urchin]

Drop the vid

New YT vid

Get a mask of hipyo tech and say something cringe and clickbait

[chilly mural]

Benchpressing the overpriced keyboard

[tropic urchin]

Type shii

It’s all you need

Arcs gotta vacation to shafies house for the bench comp

[thorn zealot]

can i vacation to shafies house to experience orchids

[tropic urchin]

He might let you so you can throw them at a wall

[calm pulsar]

"We Bench Pressed The HEAVIEST Keyboard With 100g Springs???"

[tropic urchin]

And film it like bhockson

[tropic urchin]

Forgot (WILD)

[calm pulsar]

(gone wrong)

[tropic urchin]

That’s if you live under a haunted bridge

[thorn zealot]

wheres the "so YOU dont have to"

[tropic urchin]

But I guess if orchids are involved it’s definitely gone wrong

[thorn zealot]

cant be that bad

[cloud crane]

Not frog mini pesante smh

[cloud crane]

Nah use these

[sacred elm]

[deft jolt]

orchid switches?

[deft jolt]

I have those

[wicked vault]

on the wooting 60he do people recommend pbt, ceramic, or pom

I mainly want to improve my sound but im worried that there are some other negatives

[deft jolt]

what u want to change sound wise

cos it sounds like you're talking about pbt and ceramic keycaps

pom is not a keycap material

[wicked vault]

i see

i want to make it sound not as clicky

and more heavier

[lyric nimbus]

ceramic is either a love it or hate it thing

i use cerakeys and i love them to death but you have to be very specifically looking for them

[deft jolt]

what switch u have rn?

[wicked vault]

im trying to upgrade to lekker tikken

[lyric nimbus]

cerakeys (v2s, v3s have serious issues with stems and i wouldn't get them) have a couple issues that i wont deny

• caps are somewhat inconsistent; it's not terrible but if you squint at it you will notice
• stems can be a little bad for fitting and result in the caps falling off if you hit them in a particular way (this never happens unless if you basically intentionally try to do it though, unless if the issue is particularly extreme in which you can just send a complaint to cerakeys)

[wicked vault]

also should i foam and tape mod

[deft jolt]

I personally did not like lekker Tikken that much

for sound and feel

[lyric nimbus]

despite these issues i love them to death because the feeling of ceramic and the deeper sound they provide is straight up fucking insane

at least for me

[wicked vault]

ye and theyre a hundred bucks more expensiev

[lyric nimbus]

oh yeah they are not cheap

[wicked vault]

which one did you like

[deft jolt]

I did my own list actually , I'm not affected by any external factors / nobody paid me to say anything

[lyric nimbus]

what is this list based on

[deft jolt]

the deepest sounding switch I have is UFO

[wicked vault]

the ice ultra was also my second pick

[deft jolt]

my own ranking

[lyric nimbus]

yeah but like

how did you rank them

[deft jolt]

sound, price, feel, wobble + did I face issue

[lyric nimbus]

is it just "me likey" or did you rank them off of certain criteria

oh ok "me likey" but based

[deft jolt]

it's based on what I experienced during my use case

[wicked vault]

the gravastar is so expensive lol

ye i need to pick the cheapest one

[lyric nimbus]

i use owlabs

they are very nice

3.4mm actuation though

[sacred elm]

Please go to switch database and listen to sound tests there, you have Lekker v1s, anything is going to be an upgrade, including Tikkens.

[wicked vault]

i did for all the top ones

[deft jolt]

my owlab ti had some issue and I didn't like it as much as duhuk herz

[lyric nimbus]

when i get my custom 2he case im gonna hand loob all of my owlabs

[wicked vault]

im ngl in the youtube short sound test they all sound super clicky

[deft jolt]

yeah u can listen to sound tests for sure

[lyric nimbus]

hall effects tend to sound clackier

[deft jolt]

builds do affect the sound too

[deft jolt]

yes

[wicked vault]

do you guys do this for wooting keyboards?

[sacred elm]

You're not getting super deep sound with HE switches, majority of them will sound clacky

[lyric nimbus]

you should know that a keyboard sound is like

a combination of all of its parts though

your case material matters

[deft jolt]

ufo is pretty deep actually

[lyric nimbus]

your switch matters

[deft jolt]

foam does dampen the sound too

[lyric nimbus]

your plate matters

foam matters

your keycaps matters

[sacred elm]

Still clacky

[tulip rapids]

from that one iphone recorded video i heard sounds like a bright crunch

https://tenor.com/view/luna-crunch-cronch-crunch-kitty-scrunkly-gif-5234983376031318390

[lyric nimbus]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/195907610640121856/1339473814295150682/3dgifmaker32090.gif

[deft jolt]

no shit hall effect switches are clacky 😭

[deft jolt]

really

it was deep when I tried it

I tried in like 3 builds

[lyric nimbus]

anyways chat

is there anything else i missed

[sacred elm]

So why are you calling it deep then

[deft jolt]

wow people use the support fork

[lyric nimbus]

(for my friend to build their own custom)

[deft jolt]

deep sounding

but not those bright clack like hmx and what not

[lyric nimbus]

is there any part that my friend is

missing

or ya think that is all good

[wicked vault]

im ngl the ur ice ultra with foam dampening sounds clickier than the lekker tikken

is there any reason you didnt like them soy

[lyric nimbus]

i guess hes missing keycaps but like

thats like preference preference

some preferences are wrong but preferences nonetheless

[tulip rapids]

i mean it was recorded on iPhone so mic wont be the best. I havent personally tested them but it gave me owlabs ptsd when i heard them 😭

"clucking chickens"

https://tenor.com/view/mitoo-mitoo2025-gif-3642299496164039692

[deft jolt]

?

[wicked vault]

the lekker tikken

just wondering

[wicked vault]

how do i see if the pbt on the keycaps are thick or not lol

buying pbtfans one

[deft jolt]

usually people measure the thickness u could check for reviews

[fallen pecan]

pbtfans usually 1.3 which is on the medium side, thick would be around 1.7mm

[cloud crane]

Thick would be like xmi pbt or keyreative pbt

[fallen pecan]

ttc horse rgb also has the horse motif, it's just transparent and part of the top cover

the clip clop also blocks more of the light

[wicked vault]

cant seem to find one that thick

most of the ones i see are 1.3 mm

[cloud crane]

Xmi or keyreative

[stuck yarrow]

So I have an Issue where every switch row sounds completely different. My F Row is really nicely dampened while it gets louder and poppier towards the middle. The Spacebar Row is also pretty deep and dampened. Anyone had the same issue and knows a fix?

[fallen pecan]

that's a feature not an issue

[stuck yarrow]

How is that an feature

[regal patio]

That's how the foam is placed I think

And also higher/heavier keycaps are on the F row

Under the F row there isn't much foam if I am not mistaking (if we are talking about the wooting 80he)

[stuck yarrow]

I have the feeling that because of the Gasket Mount and the fact that the outer Keys have more Overall support that it sounds like that

[regal patio]

My brother's 80HE also has that sound

[stuck yarrow]

So should I put more foam in the middle or what?

[regal patio]

Hmm if u have foam u can try it

Ig

[marble harbor]

What stabilizers do I need to put in on the alumaze 60 in order to use the friction fit?

[sacred elm]

[wicked vault]

btw what mods should i be using with the wooting 60he since i saw a lot people saying different stuff

like i heard PE foam mod is bad for it

[sacred elm]

Swap switches, plate, try tape mod.

PE foam? like IXPE foam that goes on top of the PCB? No, don't use that, it nerfs your keyboard's performance

Same goes for the switch foam pads, thock films or whatever it's called

[wicked vault]

what about the friction fit pad and pet film

[wicked vault]

ok so just use the stock case foam

[sacred elm]

Thin PET film on top of the PCB is fine to use, 60HE v2 comes with it. Friction fit pad will also make the sound cleaner and more consistent across the keyboard, but it's not compatible with the 60HE+ plastic case.

[wicked vault]

ye im switching to the tofu60 case

how many layer of masking tape do you recommend

[sacred elm]

Oh then get friction fit pad, PC plate and Lekker Tikkens or some other third party switches.

[wicked vault]

ye ill be getting the ur ice ultra switches

[sacred elm]

1-3

[wicked vault]

whats the pc plate

[sacred elm]

https://wooting.io/product/60he-pc-switch-plate

[wicked vault]

is the stock plate worse

[deft jolt]

I have horse switches

[wicked vault]

and should i get it add on with my tofu60he

[sacred elm]

As I told you before in your thread, 60HE+ comes with steel plate and it's very loud and stiff. If you want deeper sound swap it with something else

[deft jolt]

they are decent but sound wise not my fav

[wicked vault]

ok

[deft jolt]

it's good

[deft jolt]

anything more than 3 layers is just negligble difference

[sacred elm]

I wouldn't recommend getting plates from KBDfans, with friction fit pad you'll barely be able to pull the module out of the case

[wicked vault]

ok

ill just get the foam pad then from wooting

[sacred elm]

plate you mean, Wooting doesn't sell foams

[wicked vault]

ye the plate

should i use the foam pads they give

[sacred elm]

You don't need those since you'll be using friction fit pad

[wicked vault]

or is it the same as the PE foam you mentioned

ok

[untold wigeon]

Any news on TTC and Gateron's magnetic silent switches?

[wicked vault]

do i need to change stabilizers for the keyboard or no

[sacred elm]

If you currently use stock 60HE+ plate mount stabilizers, sure

[fallen pecan]

The 60 switch pack is cheaper by 1 yuan per switch

[wicked vault]

i saw in the photo to only use 205g0, if im bag lubing it recommends 105, is that ok or should i stick to 205g0

[sacred elm]

You don't bag lube stabilizers Use 205g0

[austere creek]

i bag lubed my keyboard. help

[wicked vault]

no i mean bag lube the springs

[sacred elm]

For springs you can do both, but bag lubing with gpl105 is a lot faster

[wicked vault]

ok

wow this is getting expensive really fast lol

i dont need to clip the stabilizers to tune them do i...

[sacred elm]

no

[wicked vault]

thanks for everyhting i think thats about it

[glacial wind]

Oh shit it’s here

Can do the proper update today and see where they stand with sound test

[chilly mural]

Umazing

[harsh dove]

The Umamame Derby Switches

[sacred elm]

clip clop

[broken notch]

Whats up clip clops!

[random dagger]

the holy80 in my cart is beckoning at me like the green goblin mask

[little glen]

I need to hear the clip clop

Cancel all your meetings so we can listen to the clip clop asap

[broken notch]

Very small mod

Put studs on the ribbon

[wicked vault]

Is it fine to only lube the stem and spring

[untold wigeon]

Has anyone used Outemu Silent Peach v3s in here? I've read the Freya's are mushy when bottoming out so I'm trying to see if there are any other decent silent linears out

[glacial wind]

all silents have a slight mushy bottom, that's how they are silent

they're decent though, just that the housing can sometimes make a slight crunching feel/noise but besides that they're the most silent linear out of the current options

there's sound test for them in the database

[little glen]

When are we getting a silent switch that folds space and time so that you never bottom out

[glacial wind]

honestly if you want silent i think the xvx he/tecsee ones are the nicest

they're just the most fun since you're going silent the accuracy isn't going to be that great already

[little glen]

Sno did you already take the horsies out of the package

[glossy pagoda]

Neigh

[glacial wind]

yeah, but have to figure out how to do the recording because my wife stole my fill light and it's at her work right now

[little glen]

I‘d love to hear initial "take switch out and click it against your ear" impressions

[glacial wind]

it's not muted/short like ttc flip/other fully enclosed switches

it's basically a straight up clacky switch

[little glen]

Not muted

Hallelujah

[little glen]

Record in the dark and overlay a video of a horse running around sped up

[glacial wind]

lol

[little glen]

https://tenor.com/view/horse-horse-fun-horse-run-horse-fast-gif-5927138775252031443

[broken notch]

This horse specifically

[untold wigeon]

I just need the most silent HE switches at the expense of feel obviously

I don't care if they feel like membranes

[glacial wind]

if you want most silent then it's the peach

they were most silent in my tests, you can compare the sound tests in the database and see which is more silent

that said all 3 of the popular recommendations are quite silent

[dusty gust]

Quick question any brands that have a good ceramic keycap ?

[untold wigeon]

I heard the soundtests and between the Freya and the Peaches the Peach sound the most silent like water drops

I kinda dig the sound

[glacial wind]

yeah, peaches were for sure most silent for me too

[untold wigeon]

Ordering them then, thank you sno

[glacial wind]

make sure it's the he version when you order

we've had people accidentally order mx peaches before because they do make both

[untold wigeon]

Yeah I've noticed the MX version is around 10€ cheaper

Same housing too so I see how you could get confused

[tender anchor]

I wanna buy the tecsee TEC silents

have you tried those?

never heard about the mushy bottom feeling

[glacial wind]

yes, they're in the database with sound test already

tecsee silent = xvx he also, same thing but one is transparent for rgb shine

[tender anchor]

is it the same?

I heard the sound test of the xvx and sounded a little bit more+

I did it in my workplace not with my hd800s tho 😄

[glacial wind]

xvx is a little more tactile because the ones tested have a small spring inside to add to the tactile feel, but the actual housing etc rest is same

even says tecsee on their housing because tecsee makes it

[tender anchor]

and that mushy feeling with the TECSEE TEC is there too?

[glacial wind]

all silents

[tender anchor]

like is it crunchy while pressing down?

ok I see

thats sad because I wanted a smooth feeling

[glacial wind]

no it's just the pad you bottom out on

the press is still smooth

to be silent the switches use pads and other things at the bottom to dampen the end hit

[tender anchor]

guess I have to try those anyways and see it by myself, I purchased gateron jades pro and they are nice

but wonder if there are better ones out there

[glacial wind]

jade pros are still fine honestly, but yeah there's more popular/tighter options nowadays

i don't think anything wrong with jade pros though if you have them. Perfectly fine switches that still have fairly clean sound even if they're not quite as tight as some of the top dogs now

[humble surge]

Magma, Pink Lotus, Snows and more Novas shipped international now, excellent

[tender anchor]

yeah I have read wonders about ufo gravastar and keytok nova

I might order both

but I think I need more lube, I started lubbing the jade pros and let me tell you, this is a hobby for me now 😄

I loved lubbing my switches and taking my time

dont know why but feels relaxing

[glacial wind]

Okay initial testing typing on it for awhile I really like the horses

They’re like clacky but not as loud as ti he clacky while still being clean

And not as ‘dead’? If that wording is right - as the raptor v2

Flat I guess would be the word I use for raptor v2 and the clones

Just not the biggest fan of that flat tone in raptor v2. But I do like the horses

[little glen]

Sounds like they clip clop good

[glacial wind]

Here I’ll record a really quick messy phone comparison

[little glen]

Maybe i‘ll pick those up over the dcf

[sacred elm]

Is the wobble as good as UFO

[glacial wind]

UFO still have their own sound and are tighter at top. So it’s not going to be a ufo replacement if max stability is concern

They’re the standard deep clack a top s bottom kind of wobble

God phone audio is so bad. But yeah that’s the quick messy one

[little glen]

Man this clip just reminds me of how nice ti he sound

But the horses seem good

Maybe i‘ll try them

[glacial wind]

Yea ti he are that loud clacky switch king still for that particular sound

UFO are still solid in their whole ‘thock’ kind of tone

[sacred elm]

Haribo on the desk as usual

[glacial wind]

Of course. Wooting employees get a snack budget and at least 10% of mine goes towards haribo gummy bears

[sacred elm]

Yea not a fan of Raptor sound either

They sound weird

[glacial wind]

Raptor always felt just too flat for me

Something about their tone

[sacred elm]

Horses sound good

[glacial wind]

Yeah I’m comfortable swapping horses for the flip in my chart now I think. Flip muteness is beaten by nova sound if they really want that muted tone

[little glen]

I like a full, clacky bright sound

Sharp

[glacial wind]

You’ll like ice creams

[little glen]

I love ice cream

[glacial wind]

Kailh ice creams are sharp and bright

[little glen]

🍨

[little glen]

Interesting

Do you have a sound test yet

[glacial wind]

Will be one later today, recorded one yesterday but editing now

[sacred elm]

bad news, I think my UFOs are delayed

[little glen]

If they sound good i might buy them

But let me check the price first

[glacial wind]

Here’s a dirty quick sound phone compare

[little glen]

Why does kailh have like a billion ice cream switches

[glacial wind]

Ti he still sharper and louder by a tad, but these come closer than a lot of other switches I’ve tried

[little glen]

That is pretty good i‘d say

[glossy pagoda]

We get a snack budget? 👀

[little glen]

Horsies or dcf or ice cream

[glacial wind]

I sacrifice 3 coffees for my gummy bear allocation

[ionic breach]

what flavour?

[sacred elm]

Why deep clacky if you like loud clack, maybe og Flux? They sound very clean imo

Loud but clean

[glossy pagoda]

I'm too addicted to the sauce to make that sacrifice...

[little glen]

No clue how much the ice creams cost tho, having a hard time finding em

[little glen]

Fair but i wanna try different stuff

[glacial wind]

Golden bears is only right choice. Cola is forgivable option 2 but still inferior

[little glen]

Main thing going against the horsies is that they are super expensive

[sacred elm]

UFO is also loud I think

[glacial wind]

They’re on aliexpress, not too pricy

[little glen]

So expensive i could probably get dcf and the ice creams for the same price

[glacial wind]

Like $40 for 90 iirc for kailh ice cream from powerpuff girls store

[little glen]

I live around where haribo originated and has one of their factories

I dont like em that much 🥀

[sacred elm]

[little glen]

Thats pretty good

Yeah i could get those and dcf and come out ahead vs horses

[sacred elm]

Aren't OG Fluxes same price as DC?

[glacial wind]

That’s always been ttc issue is pricing. Their top switch is always in that $100-120 range at launch for basic model

For 90

[little glen]

Yeah but i also wanna try different stuff cause maybe what i dont like about tikken sound profile is how muted it is

[tender anchor]

yeaaaaaah Im gonna get the UFO

they sound real good

[little glen]

Yeah they have good stuff but its always $$$

[tender anchor]

have you lubbed your UFOS? @glacial wind

[little glen]

I dont think anyone has ever lubed their ufos

Cause you‘ll break em trying to open them up

[tender anchor]

really?

I didnt know about it

[sacred elm]

You can't open them with a normal switch opener. You'll need to use screwdriver or two switch pullers

Basically impossible to lube an entire set

[little glen]

They dont have a normal opening mechanism so you cant use an opener

[glacial wind]

yeah no sane person is lubing set of ufo

some people have done it, but it's not worth the time honestly

just a headache to do

[sacred elm]

I WILL DO IT

[tender anchor]

the keytok nova compared to UFOs

too much of a difference in terms of performance?

[glacial wind]

very different sound

keytok nova is super muted

[little glen]

Shafie is insane confirmed

[sacred elm]

What do you mean performance

They will have the same performance

[little glen]

What switch allows me to use rapid trigger on my razer keyboard from 2012

[tender anchor]

stem wobble, smoothness, I guess its 3.5mm on both...

[glacial wind]

ufo is better wobble, worse smoothness due to being 'tight' feeling (but this will come down to your preference if you like that or not)

[sacred elm]

Raeds

[little glen]

Ukraine :/

[glacial wind]

but both are very good overall wobble wise already

honestly anything A or better at top wobble is good enough already for me as far as top stability goes

[tender anchor]

thanks a lot

[little glen]

Tikkens are good but i just wish they had a different sound profile :(

[tender anchor]

the keytok novas can be lubbed?

no problem with breaking the switch?

[sacred elm]

Yeah, I think you can open them with a kailh switch opener

[glacial wind]

yeah, although from sound they're decently factory lubed already, otherwise they'd be chattery like the polar pros with low lube

[broken notch]

I really don't think UFO is loud tbh

Maybe that's sunk cost fallacy, I don't know

[glacial wind]

It depends on the plate a lot, it’s not sharp just quite thumpy for whatever you’d describe its sound profile as

[broken notch]

Thumpy sounds right with the stock 60he+ plate

I find it very satisfying

[glacial wind]

Yeah I think sound wise ufo is great

[broken notch]

Does anyone hear scratching on spacebar too?

[glacial wind]

I’m still a bit undecided on feel if I think it’s great or too much though

[sacred elm]

Yes your spacebar needs some lube

[broken notch]

Thanks Shafie :3

Will get on that

[broken notch]

I'm getting a Holy60 with no bottom plate, so we'll see what that does to the sound profile

Woops, forgot to untag you. My bad

[glacial wind]

Meh tags don’t bother me

I mute every discord I join so no sounds

[broken notch]

Wewt, I do try to avoid tagging people

It feels too pick-me for me, dunno. Maybe I'm weird

[glacial wind]

Honestly for my personal build it’ll probably be cf plate with horses for a bit

[broken notch]

That's great. Did I miss a video or not yet?

[glacial wind]

nah not yet still trying to figure out how to record horses video with missing my backup light lol

[broken notch]

Do you have a horse latex mask?

If so, please record infront of a mirror

[glacial wind]

Hrm might be time to bring out my mini gobo light instead

[tropic urchin]

I don’t think they’re inherently loud, but probably depends more on the plate/foam used

[broken notch]

Just don't reference the horse mask at all

Don't acknowledge anything is different, just tap tap tap with a horse face

[glacial wind]

Nothing sus here, just gobo I swear

[sacred elm]

[broken notch]

Definitely!

I don't think I'd recommend novas or UFOs myself to people considering the pricepoint

Atleast UFO has a 70 box

[tropic urchin]

UFOs are interesting, price is kinda whatever for max stability but the no switch opener is tuff 🥀

[tropic urchin]

UFO test boi when are they arriving

[sacred elm]

Maybe not today

[broken notch]

My case arrives today

So will do a holy60 + stock plate/foam + UFOs

[glacial wind]

Hrm do I need to print a cf plate for zoom64

Or maybe I’ll see if I can order just the Alu split plate when the orders start

[broken notch]

When will they start you reckon, roughly

I want to be on top of it too

[glacial wind]

feb 3 is pre orders iirc

[broken notch]

Thanks!

[little glen]

do we know if the gt60 plate file is available

[safe stag]

yes, on kbdfan website

[little glen]

thank

[tawdry wigeon]

are there any friction mount cases compatible with the wooting60 v2? I.e. minimal looking case like the tofu60?

[sacred elm]

Optimum

[quasi hinge]

Did someone say UFO 👽

[tawdry wigeon]

anything else that comes in black?

[oak jewel]

Tofu redux works with friction fit, though you might wanna watch our new video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFVUqHdHFVI on how to properly ground it

[tawdry wigeon]

huh I have a tofu redux

watching now

I thought it's tray mount only

[sacred elm]

No, you can friction mount it

[tawdry wigeon]

okey, time to buy the v2 pcb then xd

[tawdry wigeon]

can I ground the tofu redux with the screw method as well? any noticible difference between the two methods?

[robust siren]

you can use gasket mount in the kbdfans gt-60 just take off the friction pad and use foam

(sounds better anyways)

[sacred elm]

Yes, you can ground it with the screw or with the conductive sponge. Watch the video above.

[tawdry wigeon]

I did

[meager rain]

how is the sound for you guys? my mic wasnt in the middle thats why the left shift wasnt that audible but just compare it to the other bigger keys lol

kinda sounds like how i like it. 80he will follow but idk how lazy i am for that lmao

oh thats the 60he v2

[broken notch]

New temporary case arrived wooo

I suck at pictures unfortunately

Slowly coming together

Next is v2 pcb and custom printed keycaps

[frank snow]

my whole setups white and unfortunately broke my keyboard and didn’t have the time to wait for the v2 being on back order so now I’m stuck with a black keyboard 60he v1. new to this whole wooting thing where does everyone recommend to start with cases thanks!!

[broken notch]

Depends what you're after

Small, robust etc

Heavy, light

It's all subjective, there's no straight up better

Except Zoom64. That one is better cuz it has a wheel >:)

But I digress

[frank snow]

i just want it to be white ngl i don’t know much about keyboards always obsessed over mousepads

[broken notch]

A low budget trick is checking Aliexpress and looking for compatible HE60 cases

Sometimes they even straight up say wooting60 compatible

A good idea is to just link whatever you find interesting here

If you have doubts we can and will help

[sacred elm]

nvm, UFO today

[frank snow]

how difficult is it to swap cases?

[broken notch]

Very very easy

Wooting even has guides on how to disassemble the wootings

Videos even!

And as long as you don't scratch or maliciously act, your warranty isn't void when swapping cases

Unlike some other peripherals I'd say customising is half if not all the fun! And wooting gets that

I'm such a fking shill lmao

But yes, you got this

[frank snow]

okay sweet thanks man i appreciate it. i almost wish they made the stock case in white i have no problem with it

[broken notch]

If you want a simply case consider a Tofu60

[tropic urchin]

Type shiii pop boi

[broken notch]

Here's the first tofu60 from aliexpress, I do urge you to look around and not just slam buy

https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ex3xIVQ

But as an example

[meager rain]

@tropic urchinhow is it the flux

[frank snow]

my friend send me a link to one on Amazon that looks ALOT like the stock case but in white but it’s just so cheap it scares me that it’s just gonna be a pos

[broken notch]

Feel free to drop it in my dms

Or here

I can have a quick promise-free look

[frank snow]

thanks let me go copy it !!!

[marble harbor]

Do I only need to add the screw stabilizer near the space bar for the alumaze?

[broken notch]

No, top right

I believe it was

[sacred elm]

What is screw stabilizer? Please watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFVUqHdHFVI

[dull ivy]

I dont have to ground my Optimum case Right ?

[sacred elm]

No

It comes with the sponge

[tropic urchin]

Marbly church approved, what plate are you runnin?

I really liked POM plate and poron gasket with DCF

[glossy pagoda]

The earliest batches did not, but recent ones do

[meager rain]

rn the stock fr4 but will switch soon to cf/pp

my 80he got a custom plate cf, it sounds so goooodddd i will make a video tmr ig

[sacred elm]

Optimum? I thought it always came with the sponge

[glossy pagoda]

Don't think so

[dusky orchid]

Guys the V2 module still have the Traymount holes?

[glossy pagoda]

We've changed SKUs on that product a stupid number of times >_>

[glossy pagoda]

Yes

[meager rain]

mark u approve this?

[sacred elm]

When Optimum posted the video during the release, sponge was there 🤷

[glossy pagoda]

I shall confer with the oracle

[glossy pagoda]

I can't listen to sound tests, they give me the heebiegeebies

[tropic urchin]

CF do feel/sound kinda poppy too with poron, recommend

[broken notch]

I recorded my UFOs with my new case because I can

[ionic breach]

ngl the sound was all they way up and i was wondering why all i heard was bass vibrations

sounds nice tho

[ionic breach]

yea im pretty sure this was before release as well

and its there

[lyric nimbus]

ok

my friend wants black pom jelly keycaps

i need to find them now...

[marble harbor]

i watched it, my bad, i meant standoff. there is one at the bottom right
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJgxb9WtYGY&t=199s

they say use it for the 60he but I wasnt sure if I need it for friction fit

[little glen]

You keep showing your friend a nice well lit walkway he can take but instead he insists on taking weird turns into dark alleys where the floor is filled with nails and landmines

[sacred elm]

You don't need those golden standoffs. Put the v2 module in the case and then screw in the screw in the top right.

[marble harbor]

perfect! thank you

[little glen]

Mou plushie + switchy plushie combo on the store when

[lyric nimbus]

is my case design a bit boring?

[little glen]

What does it look like

[trail bane]

Switchy merch when?

[little glen]

It‘s a little box on wedge but you gotta do what you gotta do to keep costs down

I‘d personally try to find a way to hide the seam so it looks cleaner and maybe give the front lip more of an angle

[lyric nimbus]

what seam

[lyric nimbus]

this seam is from CAD so i cant do much about it, the final product will be more seamless

[little glen]

Yeah thats where top and bottom piece meet right

[lyric nimbus]

correct

[little glen]

Maybe you could use different material/color for top and bottom

[lyric nimbus]

i could try like

uhh

pc bottom/alu top?

[little glen]

Maybe

[robust siren]

@trail bane its almost time for the balka build

[little glen]

Do you have a weight bar in the design?

[lyric nimbus]

yurr

[robust siren]

a few more days

[little glen]

If you want to you could try to see if there‘s a way to make it show from the outside with certain design

The gt80 and gt60 do that

But idk how much machining complexity that would add

[lyric nimbus]

not much honestly

[robust siren]

@trail bane its gonna look kinda weird cause its pbtfan crosshair on a blue holy60

my soju keycaps are on my wooting at a friends house

[trail bane]

https://tenor.com/view/edp-i-mean-its-all-right-gif-26702511

wait actually

if i use 7u.. i think i can do it

oh shit i dont think i have blue split 7u

meh whatever

white split 7u works too

UFOS time

also waow, too many hair

[ionic breach]

looks cool

[cyan lark]

I will not continue the cycle of violence. Nice UFOs brother, report back on your thoughts.

[quasi hinge]

Ty sir

[quasi hinge]

Initial thoughts?

[glacial wind]

New sound tests live:

• Kailh Ice Cream: https://youtube.com/shorts/IGghORQBY60
• KeyTok Nova: https://youtube.com/shorts/fLM6VyCMIcc
• TTC Year of the Horse: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7m04c6ijYE
• Taishan GT Pink: https://youtube.com/shorts/nKAAck5QSoM

i hate taishan gt pink. that is all.

if you listen to it i think you will understand why

[chilly mural]

I kinda like how the TTC horse sound

[ionic breach]

thats on fr4?

idk how it made fr4 sound like pc

[glacial wind]

yeah all the same optimum fr4 setup

[glacial wind]

yeah it's great honestly. It's a nice clacky but not as loud clacky as a ti he

[chilly mural]

Sounds below average lmao

[glacial wind]

taishan gt is like if you wanted to be a silent switch but failed halfway

i don't know what they're trying to do

[ionic breach]

ttc horse sounds interesting

cant describe it

[glacial wind]

like maybe if you pair this case with dampening then it's a silent switch? But the way it is now means it's like weirdly half silent for these gt pink

[chilly mural]

it's like lower pitched flicking

[glacial wind]

so not silent enough to be called silent but now has no real sound note and sounds half dampened

[ionic breach]

yea flicking is the word

[cyan lark]

Horses in that optimum/fr4 setup sounds pretty similar to my KoM POMs in salvation/pc setup

[ionic breach]

[sacred elm]

Putting the keycaps currently, but they are very stable and sound nice. You can feel very very small friction when you press the key slowly offcenter, but they still feel good, better than POMs imo.

[ionic breach]

new phrase unlocked

"flicking" sound

[cyan lark]

Remember, if you come at the king you best not miss

[tropic urchin]

Nobody’s missing type shiii

The kings crown got kicked off by bronco clip clop

[regal patio]

are the ufo better than the nova`s

[cyan lark]

I am fully on board for the clip clop type shii

[tropic urchin]

Not even the best tcc switch

[glacial wind]

different sounds

[regal patio]

im planning to build like a nice 80HE build

[glacial wind]

i wouldn't say better, just different. UFO is more stable by a tad on top, but can be bit of friction due to tightness, sound note is clean deep clacky. Novas are still very stable but slightly less on top but smoother to press and sound is extremely muted

so very different switches

[little glen]

horse and ice cream sound good imo

[glacial wind]

yeah ice cream i'd even consider maybe replacing owlab ti he with, but i'm not sure

it's a nice loud clacky switch for those who want that

okay graphic updated again, should be good for awhile now because i don't have any new switches coming for quite awhile lol

only change was ttc flip out, horsies in, and grades given for stability on horse

[little glen]

i might just order both horsies and ice creams

[lyric nimbus]

@glacial wind

[regal patio]

why do the taishan gt pink sound like a silent switch

thats not a silent switch

[deft meadow]

Hey guys, just got my 60he v2, is it just me or does it sound way better irl than all the soundtests on youtube

im actually shocked that this is stock

[lyric nimbus]

the recorders microphone and your speaker are not your ears

[regal patio]

true

[lyric nimbus]

there will always be a difference between hearing something that's recorded and hearing something in-person

[deft meadow]

mm true

ive always heard he switches will never sound as marbly as standard mechanical ones but these sound great to me lol

[glacial wind]

that is a question only god knows. I have no idea why they made this switch like this

it's the weirdest switch i've ever tested

[regal patio]

is the factory lubing?

[glacial wind]

no they purposely used a quiet material

they call it p1

but it makes the whole switch sound almost silent but not quite silent

[regal patio]

is it the stem rubbing against the walls?

[glacial wind]

since no dampening it's not fully silent on press, so i don't know what these switches are

[regal patio]

ye weird switches

do they feel as bad as they sound?

[glacial wind]

feel is fine-ish

but very unsatisfying switch just purely from the sound alone, at least for me

[regal patio]

i heard the nova`s they sound AMAZING

[glacial wind]

there might be someone out there maybe who wants quiet switch but without dampening and doesn't care about non clear sound note? That's only use case i can think of for the taishan gt pink

[regal patio]

The deepest he switches for sure

[glacial wind]

i think ufo are a tad deeper, but in a different way

[broken notch]

UFO church endorses this comment

[glacial wind]

nova is deep from muted sound, ufo are deep from whatever that structure/material is without muting, so different types of deep

although i guess technically nova is thanks to pa12 lol

but yeah very different sound notes on different sides of the deep coin

[regal patio]

Every switch on your board sounds clacky for some reason

[glacial wind]

that's HE switches in general

welcome to clack town

we have clacky, clacky and more clacky in every variety

it's all clacky with different tones lol

[cyan lark]

Show me the cream

[glacial wind]

the only cream we have is ice cream

[broken notch]

This is me trying to be cool with UFOs on my 60HE+

[glacial wind]

that is quite the vibration sound my friend

[chilly mural]

too much bass

[broken notch]

Open case with no baseplate does that I think

[glacial wind]

one tip, i'd suggest put that recording mic off the table

[broken notch]

Oh okay

[glacial wind]

either on table next to it or chair or something

because right now it captures a big thunk every time you press a key

[broken notch]

Thank you

[chilly mural]

ngl, this gives me an idea to wanna do mic + camera on a stand

[pale elm]

didnt help, said hell with it and just ordered another module entirely 😂

[chilly mural]

Should allow me to record my piano/rhythm game, and face record with just an adjustment on the stand.

[glacial wind]

i've seen some youtubers do that before for portable setups

that lawyer guy has the most high end version of that where his entire stand is on wheels and just moves around

[chilly mural]

yeah, nah, I have no budget for that. I just want the camera to be able to go higher than me standing and I'm good.

[glacial wind]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uC2ND-Z6vc just invest in $10k setup with custom wheelie stand like him

[chilly mural]

that's legit more than my entire setup

all I have is $300 and a dream

[glacial wind]

have you considered getting 3.84 million youtuber subscribers

[chilly mural]

someday, or some other life.

[uneven cradle]

Alexotos has like 3-4 different cameras for different angles on stream

[glacial wind]

yeah that's the keyboard streamer life i think after taeha started that trend

[uneven cradle]

He was using Fuji but they kept dying so I think he's switched to Sony now

[glacial wind]

it was always crazy how high end taehas stream setup was at the time lol

[regal patio]

Is getting the 80HE in a GT80 with a of extra foam,FR4 plate and the nova switches a good idea?

[glacial wind]

not many streamers were using the full high end canon dslr setup for multi cam shot back then

[glacial wind]

what you mean extra foam?

like you're buying a foam kit from somewhere?

[regal patio]

yes

[sacred elm]

Just disassemble the keyboard and pull them from the plate

[glacial wind]

generally should be okay but you don't really need the foam stuff honestly. be a bit careful with some kids as they may have layers that don't compatible sometimes

[pale elm]

considered it tbh

[glacial wind]

fr4 plate and switches is a great start already, i generally don't recommend changing the foam up much

[regal patio]

okay

i will order foam still to do some experiments with the sound

[lyric nimbus]

ok

hopefully i can test my plate fitment today...

[glacial wind]

yeah, no harm. Just when you experiment do one foam thing at a time because some kits come with 182739 layers and when you use them all together it causes board presses to not work as well anymore

[lyric nimbus]

then off to tom to print me a fr4 plate and order all the accessories necessary

[uneven cradle]

That's true, well his content always looked quality

[glacial wind]

we really have too many users with cat profile photos lol

[regal patio]

alright

[glacial wind]

you guys are multiplying

[chilly mural]

we need more anime pfp

[regal patio]

true

no one here has a dog photo tbh

[uneven cradle]

Need more dripped out monkey pfp

[glacial wind]

i don't see anyone with a photo of the best actor of all time, nicolas cage

we need more nicolas cage photos

[thorn zealot]

Or just take the plate out and push the switches out

[lyric nimbus]

ok

just to make sure

i can assume these flatheads are 3.8mm wide?

https://kbdfans.com/products/kbdfans-m2-3-countersunk-flat-head-screw-kit

[pale elm]

i already placed the order, i already own 4 wootings, 1 more wont kill me lol

[sacred elm]

[pale elm]

that being said i need to find my spare tikkens to put in my full stock v2 since i broke one

[thorn zealot]

😭 😭

[pale elm]

the slight rgb difference is annoying me

[thorn zealot]

So whenever u can’t take switches out, u buy a new wooting?

[sacred elm]

[pale elm]

no this is the first switch ive had break or just feel impossible to take out lol

[broken notch]

This feels like buying a new fridge because you ran out of eggs

But power to you!

[pale elm]

my others are full on builds

i have my stock V1, stock V2, optimum, and a other one i made for a side project

[untold wigeon]

Do you like Wooting?

[stray tiger]

Changed up the caps today on one of the V2's

[pale elm]

yes i like shit that just works

[thorn zealot]

Oh but u still bought a new wooting just cuz u couldn’t take out a switch?

[untold wigeon]

You bought 5 though

😂

[pale elm]

its more the fact i dont wanna sit here and beat my head against the wall and or snap more switches

i still have another like 60 switches to change here

[broken notch]

What's that seethrough tab on your ribbon?

[thorn zealot]

Just take the plate out and push the switches out from the bottom

Takes like 2 min

And saves $180 or wtv a wooting cost now

[stray tiger]

Part of the strap with the OW60 case

[broken notch]

Neat, looks clean

[pale elm]

$153 for me but also not really a massive amount for me to spend on something i like

[untold wigeon]

Buying 5 times is a bit too much isn't it

Maybe get a good switch removal tool

[broken notch]

Do you think the case is worth it?

I mean, it's their money to do with as they please

[pale elm]

using the one that came with the v2 lol

[broken notch]

A really really good one is the wuque labs one

[pale elm]

also worth mentioning, ive already got a new case, switches, and keycaps in the mail to switch stuff up on this V2. if i didnt already have all of that OTW id probably be more willing to FAFO here but i just dont want to at this point

[regal patio]

Does the wooting 80he module come with a daughter board?

Also is there a way to get the Keytok Nova switches without paying that 125$ price point

[indigo tulip]

Where to get good keycaps? And if I do look for a keycap what should I be looking for so I know they fit etc*

[regal patio]

maybe kbdfans

[sacred elm]

If you order 80HE module with the plastic case, yes

[regal patio]

no just module

no case

[sacred elm]

No

[regal patio]

alright

[sacred elm]

Daughterboard comes with the case

[regal patio]

so If I want to put it in the gt80 I need to order the daughter board?

[sacred elm]

Order module with the plastic case? it's a great deal, for $10 you're getting a daughterboard, USB cable and an extra case

Only daughterboard costs 6 bucks

[little glen]

I would suggest trying poly fill as well

[wicked vault]

Just realized am I just making a custom keyboard at this point, the only thing left from the original Wooting is the pcb lol

[little glen]

I mean

Pretty much the same here

Except that i still use the original silicone gasket

Tho i did cut out the middle part

[sacred elm]

I just need v2 compatible CF plate now, the final piece

I’m planning to buy a Wooting Two HE keyboard, but I have a question before purchasing.
I tried the 60HE v2 and I liked it, but I need a numpad for work, so Two HE seems better.
My question is: are the Lekker Hall-effect switches in the Two HE replaceable individually at home in the same way as with the 60HE/80HE?
I want to be 100% sure how switch replacement works before buying.
Thanks!

Have you used them?

[meager rain]

yes

[sacred elm]

[cyan lark]

Fair enough!

[meager rain]

could be bias towards dcf

but

ufo is not it next to dcf

[cyan lark]

Not sure quite what you mean by "individually at home" but any HE switch that works on the Two HE works on the 60/80 and vice-versa

[meager rain]

as long as they are hall effects

[cyan lark]

Not all HE switches are compatible with Wooting HE boards

[meager rain]

what nop

ahww come on

u think

he gon get some

non brand

shit he switch

[cyan lark]

I own switches that aren't compatible - ones that are compatible with keychron's HE boards

[meager rain]

oh well

this can answer his questions

ig

just look at

the magnet line

My question was whether, just like with the 60HE, I can replace a single switch on the Two HE, or if the entire PCB needs to be replaced.
If I understand correctly, a single switch can be replaced and the PCB does not need to be changed.
Thank you for the clarification!

[meager rain]

its not soldered

"hot swap" if youd like

ew..that word..

[limpid lava]

I’m not fully familiar with all these terms, and to be honest I also got a bit confused by the website.
However, I really like the keyboard I bought and it feels great for gaming.
Unfortunately, since I work a lot from home office, I do need a full-size keyboard, so the 60% layout isn’t practical for me.

[meager rain]

you can replace every switch individually

without

soldering anything

just watch some wooting videos

on youtube

how about we start there?>

[limpid lava]

I don’t really want to dive into it unless it’s necessary.
Thanks for the answer!

@fluid ravine cable arriving Friday, cf plate Monday and no vella eta 🥀

Oooff

[cyan lark]

You hopped on the vella as well? CF style or something else?

[fluid ravine]

I WANT CF FAHHHHH

[tropic urchin]

You’d know if you didn’t tell me off and read my post

Ribbing aside, I was between the silver cf vella and the pasteal gehirn that I linked you and went with the silverweave

It’s too tuff

[trail bane]

I don't like vella's side profile that much, so for me it's easy choice

[tropic urchin]

Final boss of silber type shii

[trail bane]

Give me compatible daughterboard for Neo projects and i'll buy the whole line of CU at least

[humble plume]

What is a nice looking switch plate I could use with my split space bar wooting?

[thorn zealot]

Not holy enough

[trail bane]

[fluid ravine]

Well to be fr it's lmost like the neo non cu series

[fluid ravine]

Mogged

[thorn zealot]

[trail bane]

[fluid ravine]
