[thorn zealot]

is it sad that my foamless top mount has less resonance than my leggera

that has polyfill in it

[cloud crane]

Leggera not the best case tbh

[fluid ravine]

well it is a budget case

and it's meant to be the "light" ver

[cloud crane]

Ye there's that

Benom in pesante 🤔

[fluid ravine]

[cloud crane]

[sturdy rock]

Do y’all know how long this pre order gonna take to ship im not buying a keyboard just a CF plate for my v2: https://kbdfans.com/collections/keyboard-part/products/tofu60-3-0-he-accessories?variant=45117697884299

[young viper]

Fill it with concrete

[fluid ravine]

@kind helm oi big boi
you missing out on the vella

[cloud crane]

Get kafka 👀

[thorn zealot]

the eta for the tofu60 v3 is q2 2026

so i assume the plate is around that time as well

[fluid ravine]

i'm pretty sure you cant just use a tofu60 3.0 Wooting compatible plate for your v2 in other cases
(Unless im wrong, no pictures of the plate so no valid info) Nvm i lied and there are pictures which are not compatible with other cases other than the tofu 3.0 itself

[tropic urchin]

I like how balanced it feels in the case, angle is kinda fire

80HE might be chalked now ngl

Case too gud

[thorn zealot]

tuan right u cant even use the tofu plate in wooting 😭

[sturdy rock]

Nahh it says the plate is for wooting look

[thorn zealot]

no its a wooting compatible plate for the tofu case

[fluid ravine]

for the tofu 3.0

[sturdy rock]

Ooh oof u right

[thorn zealot]

the plate wont work in the wooting v2 case

[fluid ravine]

its for the top mount in the tofu

yeah

unfortunately thats the only mount you can use in the tofu with the wooting

cus the gasket mount is pcb mounted which is on the tofu pcb

[young viper]

Rippp

[robust siren]

wkl vella is sold out now

[fluid ravine]

idk if pcbsnaps or keysnaps will work in the tofu

[fluid ravine]

HEH

oh shit

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine im cooked

[fluid ravine]

dude you might be cooked

i can't lie

[young viper]

You have to pay attention to kbdfans, those sneaky bastards don't sell the standoffs with the plate and make you pay 5 bucks

[robust siren]

is vella limited run?

[fluid ravine]

just going based on how they're not restocking their cf plate

idk how long they will yknow restock vella if they ever do

oh shiiiiiii

[robust siren]

[cloud crane]

[fluid ravine]

i wonder if they will ever sell the blockers separately

[robust siren]

i use ctrl a lot

[fluid ravine]

i really want the WKL blockers

[fluid ravine]

jus tto try

[thorn zealot]

ctrl is where caps is

and caps is basically useless

[cloud crane]

I think they said no, but blocker files are public so you can print one

[thorn zealot]

unless u type in all caps alot for some reason

[fluid ravine]

mane fuh

[robust siren]

i wouldnt ever get used to this

[cloud crane]

[robust siren]

fah

[fluid ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/china-lcsign-tony-gif-11548118683464742134

[fallen pecan]

Found it

[cloud crane]

This is better if you want a chinese set tbh

[fringe quarry]

for a guy like me, that's just a normal keycaps set

[cloud crane]

I like basic 😂

[fringe quarry]

imma be WoB forever

[uneven cradle]

Speaking of WoB, MTNU WoB coming back if anyone was interested

@calm pulsar

I know you were on the wait list

[fringe quarry]

it was gone?

[uneven cradle]

Yeah out of stock for a while

Only had the r1 release

[stoic ocean]

💀

[fringe quarry]

i see

[cloud crane]

You rich mf 🤤

[chilly mural]

Me want

But no money

😭 😭 😭

[fringe quarry]

mtnu does look nice but not good for gaming imo

[cloud crane]

Nah its all preference imo

I know people who game on mtnu

[fringe quarry]

i bet you could make a study about it being a bit worse in some scenarios

[cloud crane]

🤔

[fringe quarry]

increased time / travel needed to switch between close keys

[cloud crane]

🤔

[hybrid condor]

I got my keyboard, its fully built. it sounds great and it has the least key wobble of any keyboard I ever had lol.

idk if ppl want to see but I can send if you like

[fringe quarry]

just send it if you want to

[hybrid condor]

😭

[graceful wasp]

How do i make my spacebar sound more creamy?

[regal patio]

if it sounds hollow you can put tape or foam in it

but thats personal preference if that is creamy

try it yourself

[frail hemlock]

I'd fill it with butter

[hybrid condor]

I’m not rich 😭🙏

[loud zephyr]

sure, buddy - jus quietly flexing your platinum ultra gold master visa

looks good btw

[hybrid condor]

thx hehe

[regal patio]

How does this sound?

[hybrid condor]

want a vid? ill send one in a sec hehe

It’s not as good as I thought it would be but it sounds good. Better than any keyboard I ever had. Sry for my chopped nails, I bite them too much.

[regal patio]

What switches do you have there?

[regal patio]

It sounds okay but you have rattly stabs

[hybrid condor]

likker tekken medium?

I think hehe

[hybrid condor]

is that bad? fixable lol?

[regal patio]

It's not that bad tbh

If that's noticable to you than you can lube the stabs

[hybrid condor]

I didn’t notice it hehe. I also don’t have lube and don’t know how sadly lol

[graceful wasp]

I put that in my spacebar

[glacial wind]

oh that's interesting. Kaajak is off venom now and on a v2

i wonder when/why he decided to swap

[regal patio]

Looks nice

I tried putting kilmat in the spacebar

[fringe quarry]

who buying kafka today

[crimson sky]

what

[fringe quarry]

the typface kafka

[graceful wasp]

But i think i still did something wrong listen one sec

[crimson sky]

65 ew

[fringe quarry]

kinda like it

[crimson sky]

guess the name makes sense when it is a cockroach of the keyboard world

[fringe quarry]

with venom pcb too

looks very nice

[crimson sky]

not a fan of the wood chin, 65 always ugly to me

and they say monacokeys is in northern italy

[fringe quarry]

60 most pretty ofc but arrow keys...

[regal patio]

Why is this making that weird sound

[graceful wasp]

I dont know man

Thats what im talking about

[graceful wasp]

What do i do

[regal patio]

Idk

[cloud crane]

The accent piece can be swapped for other materials at a later date

[graceful wasp]

Should i do a tape modding?

Or take out the foam and use normal tape?

[graceful wasp]

Or should i open my keyboard and tape mod it there

[frail hemlock]

You should tune the stab instead

[graceful wasp]

How do i do that

[regal patio]

There are guides online

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxHb6CJc9V8

This is about lubing

[fringe quarry]

have there been any images?

[regal patio]

You might want like anti ticking mod or something like that

I'm quite new to keyboard modding so ask someone that has more experience

[cloud crane]

No, only confirmed by the typface rep

[graceful wasp]

https://amzn.eu/d/36RxEo2

This one?

[random dagger]

Don’t use that lube in the kit

[sacred elm]

For stock stabilizers https://www.amazon.com/Permatex-81150-Dielectric-Tune-Up-Grease/dp/B000AL2RI2

[graceful wasp]

But i dont have a brush and all that

[graceful wasp]

Do you got a better set?

[sacred elm]

Get it elsewhere then

and a real 205g0

god knows what that even is

https://deltakeyco.com/products/krytox-205g0

https://unikeyboards.com/products/switch-lube-brush-kit

[graceful wasp]

https://amzn.eu/d/hEyYW4d like that

[sacred elm]

I linked above.

[graceful wasp]

Do i need 10 or 5 grams?

[sacred elm]

5 will be enough

[graceful wasp]

Do i need a syringe and a brush?

[sacred elm]

You don't need syringe. Get dielectric grease, 205g0, brush and watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxHb6CJc9V8

[graceful wasp]

Whats grease??

[fringe quarry]

HOW TO MOD STABILIZERS 2026??

[graceful wasp]

Man im slow dawg

[fringe quarry]

just playing on the video thumbnail

dont worry

[graceful wasp]

🥺🥺🥺

[sacred elm]

Grease is a grease, you dip stabilizer wires in it and they don't sound like shit anymore

[graceful wasp]

Where can i get all that from one link, since i gotta pay 15€ for shipping each order

[graceful wasp]

Or should i just order new stabs?

[graceful wasp]

Like these

[sacred elm]

Do you have 60HE or 60HE+? If you have + version, I think it would be better to order screw-in stabilizers like Knight v4 for example and Krytox 205g0 lube, you won't need dielectric grease or any other thick lubricants for these stabilizers.

[graceful wasp]

I have the 60HE+

[graceful wasp]

Can i get good ones off Amazon?

[sacred elm]

I don't know if Knight v4 screw-in stabs are available on Amazon

[graceful wasp]

https://cannonkeys.com/products/swagkeys-knight-stabilizers

These ones?

[sacred elm]

Yes, but that's US vendor I think?

[graceful wasp]

Jup 20€ for shipping

I cant find a eu vendor idk why

[fringe quarry]

often sold out

[graceful wasp]

Ts looks like lego idek how to build it

[frail hemlock]

If you buy new stabs you still want to tune it. It just has better tolerances, but it's dry

[fringe quarry]

you cant build lego?

[cloud crane]

It's easy tbh

[graceful wasp]

Not without Tutorial ngl

[cloud crane]

https://deltakeyco.com/products/typeplus-x-yikb-stabilizers
If in EU can buy typeplus stabs from delta

[sacred elm]

Typeplus isn't compatible with 60HE+

[cloud crane]

Oh rip

[sacred elm]

It's too thick for the stock plate

TX AP too

[cloud crane]

💀

[graceful wasp]

Do i need new stabs and this lube thingy?

[frail hemlock]

You can use your stock stabs

[sacred elm]

Would be better to get screw-in stabilizers, stock stabilizers are plate mount

[graceful wasp]

Can u please send me Everything i need because idek what to get

[sacred elm]

205g0, brush and Knight v4 when it's in stock

[graceful wasp]

https://cannonkeys.com/products/205g0-keyboard-lubricant

https://cannonkeys.com/products/swagkeys-knight-stabilizers

https://cannonkeys.com/products/lube-brush

Like that?

[sacred elm]

Yes

[graceful wasp]

What size do i need?

[sacred elm]

0 or 1

[graceful wasp]

50€ for shipping..

[sacred elm]

Wait for this then https://deltakeyco.com/products/sw-knight-stabilizers-v4

[graceful wasp]

Okay i will tysm

[graceful wasp]

But should i also put tape on the Keyboard

Like screw it out and put tape at the others side of the keyboard

[sacred elm]

You can https://youtu.be/6poF-Z0ajhE?si=feOFtC7RlPDpp7b_

It won't make your stabilizers sound better though, but will change the sound profile a bit

[graceful wasp]

How many layers should i go for?

[graceful wasp]

https://amzn.eu/d/j779Jcf are these stabs also good?

[regal patio]

Basically there is a slight sound difference between 1-3 layers of tape

3+ layers don't change anything

[graceful wasp]

So 2?

[tropic urchin]

It’s all personal preference, nobody here can tell you what you’ll like more without intimate knowledge of your preferences

[graceful wasp]

What would u go for

[tropic urchin]

I’m between a 1-2 layer kinda guy

3+ makes it muddy

[graceful wasp]

So u would go for 2?

[tropic urchin]

I change it all the time depending on my mood, but I’d start with 1 and see how you like it

Then if you want a little more volume/contrast depending on your build you can do 1 more if you’re feeling it’s needed

[graceful wasp]

But dont i have to remove the switches each time?

Or can i keep the switches on

But keycaps off

[tropic urchin]

It’s just the PCB you need to get to

[graceful wasp]

So only keycaps?

[tropic urchin]

Should be able to keep most of it on

[graceful wasp]

Alright

[meager rain]

yo modders who own a v2: did you remove the pet film for less pong or not

[glacial wind]

Almost no one has

you could if you want though, that’s just personal sound preference, but I’d wager it’s something you won’t find easily

Removing pet film would be a super specific sound mod for hyper enthusiast type person so I doubt even most moderate modders would care enough to change that

[little glen]

I have not removed it

But my 60he v2 modding is not complete at all so maybe i will? Not sure tbh

[graceful wasp]

Should i rather take tape than this?

[sacred elm]

Tape inside the keycap or what?

[humble surge]

Knobs when

[graceful wasp]

No the spacebar

[graceful wasp]

I also have these parts

[sacred elm]

Keep the foam. Also remove the middle piece, it makes the spacebar feel mushy

[graceful wasp]

Which one

Wait

[sacred elm]

Small piece of foam in the middle, cut it and remove

[humble surge]

also GMK Selene when

[graceful wasp]

Like that?

[sacred elm]

Yes

[sacred elm]

Better than what mushy mess it was before. Still need to lube them though.

[pliant tinsel]

Shafie do you mabye know why pbt fans lylas are so cheap compared to other sets? Are they like lower in quality or is it because of the blank design

[tropic urchin]

Spacebar foam is good if you think your space bar sounds hollow

[glacial wind]

they're blank. Blank is cheaper to make

[pliant tinsel]

Ohh

But the quality remains?

[glacial wind]

yeah

[pliant tinsel]

Im so close to getting one set

Would be my first pbt fans set and tbf i really dont wanna buy any ali express gmk clone

[graceful wasp]

Lube the stabs i got rn? Or should i buy new ones on top?

[sacred elm]

I'd buy new screw in stabs

Plate mount is yucky

[graceful wasp]

Are they prelubed?

[sacred elm]

No, you need to lube them

[graceful wasp]

Thats gonna be hard

[sacred elm]

No, it will not be hard

[tropic urchin]

You can buy them prelubed/wire balanced but they’re 2x MSRP generally

[pliant tinsel]

Sno you think lyla goes well with the optimum case?

[graceful wasp]

Sounds good to me where can i get then

Them

[glacial wind]

yeah, it's just blank, which matches the grey optimum

why wouldn't it go well?

[pliant tinsel]

Thats it, im convinced

[sacred elm]

Black keycaps look nice on Optimum

[pliant tinsel]

Yea fair

[safe stag]

blanks look good on everything imo

[pliant tinsel]

Only thing im scared of is not having control over them blank keycaps

[ionic breach]

ye

[pliant tinsel]

But you prob get used to it i guess

[ionic breach]

oh yea you will get cooked by the [;./'

group of keys

[pliant tinsel]

Oh no💔

I mean i can type like 90-100 wpm without looking so i should be fine, muscle memory does the job

[ionic breach]

some stores do it for you

for example pantheonkeys

[graceful wasp]

But im in the EU

[safe stag]

for me blank keycaps is easier that weirdly shaped keycaps

[ionic breach]

ive not looked into eu sry

not in eu

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[graceful wasp]

Dang it

[graceful wasp]

Do you got a link then ima just pay 10€ for shipping

[graceful wasp]

I also got these stabs from another Keyboard

[real cypress]

Does anyone else find it hard to find cool keycaps for the Wooting 60HE v2 ANSI Split? 😂 I’m looking for side-printed white keycaps.

[broken notch]

Filthy wow player (I play too)

[broken notch]

Shouldn't be too hard

[broken notch]

If you have the grease, I'd just lube those up. Ducky's not bad

[real cypress]

If you found some please shoot me a link. Im pretty new to the custom keyboard world so I don't have all the good sources, haha!

Gonna build my first Wooting custom board with the Holy60 and would love to try the split ansi layout.

[broken notch]

Real Holy60 or the clone?

I can warn you that the clone sits VERY snug with the frictionpad

To the point the pcb is practically scraping against the sides

[ionic breach]

I dind't know there was a clone, haha! 😂 I see on Ali for half the price, haha. Only 50 euros.

Want to order the genuine version: https://kbdfans.com/collections/case/products/holy60-case

[broken notch]

That one should fit better. Yes

The clone is a bit off in dimensions

[humble surge]

Thought it was GMK Dune for a sec, this will surely haunt me a while

[broken notch]

Just ever so slightly

I got a clone because the Holy60 wasn't in red at that point (Idk if it is now)

[real cypress]

It's a big price difference... Clone is only €50 including shipping and the genuine version is €130 including shipping (ex import tax)

[ionic breach]

honestly no clue

im not that deep into stabs

[broken notch]

I also distinctly hate the Holy60 lettering in the corner now that I look into it

[fervent creek]

hello is there a switch plate file (for custom plate) for the ISO 60He+ with all the screw cutouts removed for friction fit mount?

[real cypress]

Yeah, it isn’t the nicest placement haha. Since it’s my first ever build, I don’t know if I want to risk it with the clone version of the Holy60.

[graceful wasp]

Wait he knows it

[graceful wasp]

@sacred elm what should i go for

[broken notch]

I can show you my clone if you'd like

Sumreda shop on aliexpress is where I got mine

It's fine, though maybe 1 millimeter off on the inside but I got my frictionfit v2 in it just fine

Here, @real cypress

[ionic breach]

if im being honest

just buy https://prototypist.net/products/in-stock-sw-knight-stabilisers-v4?_pos=1&_sid=1642cb8d2&_ss=r&_fid=e531eab30 and lube

its really not that hard

[graceful wasp]

Oh

Aight

[graceful wasp]

Im just gonna order this knight thing

[ionic breach]

i think 205 lube is all u need

and a thin brush

[graceful wasp]

No knight?

[ionic breach]

to lube the knight

[real cypress]

Oh damn! Looking good man! I found a Holy60 case for only €35 at the store you mentioned lol.

[broken notch]

Yeah

I got the one above from them

Neatly packaged, well made

[graceful wasp]

Ohh

[graceful wasp]

Is this good?

[ionic breach]

probably

i mean it looks sketch

but lube is lube

[real cypress]

Nice! I will send you a DM if you dont mind.

[graceful wasp]

Is that looking better

[ionic breach]

i would get lube from the same place as the knights

cos their reputable

also delivery c ost

[graceful wasp]

True

[graceful wasp]

Im just gonna wait for the deltakey restock

[patent dock]

no way it's genuine is it?

[trail bane]

@tropic urchin any thoughts on vella so far?

[little glen]

Not genuine, clone

Probably slightly different shape/design

[patent dock]

sad, i have a holy60 but want a diff color

just not sure if i wanna spend that amount again lmao

[tropic urchin]

So far very high praise for aesthetic and sound

For oring builds I do like the grooves a lot

It lets it sit a little better and how it sits feels very natural too

It’s a wee bit more annoying to mod, but that’s the price you pay

[trail bane]

Do you have pics of the inside of the case?

[tropic urchin]

I’ll dm it to you

It even has ‘cable management’ for the JST cable which is pretty cool

[cloud crane]

Plenty of enthusiast boards do

[graceful wasp]

@sacred elm

https://www.ozokeyboards.com/search?options[prefix]=last&q=lubing

Legit?

[real cypress]

It’s word the risk 🤣 I only paying €35 for the aluminum case haha.

[cyan lark]

Is it creamy?

[cloud crane]

[trail bane]

@glacial wind Did you manage to find out about the extension for the Tofu 3.0? I don't think it affects perfomance, but it would be silly if it actually did

[ionic breach]

just a cable no?

[tropic urchin]

If you squirt superlube all over the case yes

[ionic breach]

i guess if u have a really long cable already and any more u would have voltage issues

[cloud crane]

Its just a USB extension so shouldn't have problems 🤔

[cyan lark]

The longer the cable the more resistance. There are limits.

[hardy parrot]

do i need a separate stabilizer if i am getting owlabs ti he switches? with wooting60he v2 module

[tropic urchin]

No

I don’t think they sell long pole stabs anymore, but worst case you’d just need geon stem spacers if you get spacebar seesawing

It's like wait for Nice Keyboard 2+ months or wait for Very Nice keyboard 4+ months

[stoic ocean]

In the photos, I don't find this color very appealing, but in reality it's more matte and darker.

I saw it somewhere with a set of grey, green, and orange keycaps; it's magnificent.

The meteorite resembles the aged but without the gambling and outerweight machined marks.

I'm definitely going to get the chameleon, but now I don't know if I'll get the aged one or the meteorite one.

[tropic urchin]

Use your current keyboard and forget about gehirn once you order

Tofu just seems like an overweight case

Way too blocky imo

[trail bane]

[tropic urchin]

Mm

[sacred elm]

WiredIn X-ray seems nice

[frank spoke]

https://www.cerakey.com/products/peak60-ceramic-keyboard-case-kit

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin should i get ceramic keycap s

[pliant tinsel]

Dont ceramics sound heavenly

[robust siren]

they make keyboards sound deeper(?) due it it being denser than plastic

[pliant tinsel]

Oh yea makes sense, but i love the sound of them

[tropic urchin]

Apparently their legends wear off quicker so you might end up with blanks at some point

That and the keycaps look like they’re always wearing saran wrap

Never been a huge fan of them for those two points

[robust siren]

even the matte ones?

[wicked vault]

Do you know any other way to make keyboard sound marbly other than pe foam

bruh so the 60he+ module comes with the pc plate but the keyboard 60he+ uses the steel

[calm pulsar]

their surface looks uneven, and edges are more rounded, which is understandable since ceramics are harder to work with

but still kinda weird to me compared to finer details of normal keycaps

[robust siren]

hnm

[tropic urchin]

Best marbly combo so far is POM/FR4/ CF plate with Deep clack flux/UFOs (haven’t tried yet, but should whenever they arrive), or UR ice since those are the current deep clack options

And then add poron foam

Bc for marbly you don’t want higher frequencies

[tulip rapids]

best combo to make it sound like my keyboard is meowing ?

i need it for bort nite plz

[trail bane]

I’ll say you don’t need them

It’s better to spend that much on another GMK set

[tulip rapids]

indeed good sir

[tropic urchin]

@robust siren yeah just get a fun GMK set

Which is what I said originally ☝️🤓

W Varedis

[robust siren]

find me one that has 3u split and split right shfit

[tropic urchin]

Bros got the tsangan layout

[robust siren]

that works with silver

[trail bane]

Gregory

[calm pulsar]

split right shift is in most sets already usually

even in standard kits

[kind helm]

the new one you have?

[robust siren]

gimme a set

[tropic urchin]

[stoic ocean]

I'm still waiting for mine.

I will probably receive it at the end of the week or next week.

[tropic urchin]

Probably my favorite case rn

Sits very well

Silver accents also perfectly hides the underneath keycaps

[young viper]

Damn that's a sexy case

[stoic ocean]

Normally it was you who told me to go to the silver version

[tropic urchin]

Whoever said that sounds very based indeed

Only thing I’m waiting on are my new switches

[stoic ocean]

Now all I need to do is buy the Gehirn, but I'm still undecided about the second color.

[stoic ocean]

i will get the keytok or the ttc horse someting like that

or ufo they are good tho

[tropic urchin]

They’re the only other marbly switch it seems so the decision was made for me

[chilly mural]

nice cable

[tropic urchin]

Was gonna hold out but since I never got the full DCF 2x board treatment I decided to go against my better judgment

[stoic ocean]

I saw the Pengea Mini R2 but I don't know if I should wait for that one or the Constance 60.

[tropic urchin]

Teal would be kinda fire

[stoic ocean]

teal is aged right?

[tropic urchin]

I don’t think it’s aged

Think it’s the normal other color

Very vibrant which is why I was gravitated towards it

[stoic ocean]

can u send a picture?

[tropic urchin]

Pasteal*

Very loud case

[tulip rapids]

matches the loud keycaps

[stoic ocean]

ahhhh yeah i saw it on the bowl live bcs i was Interesting, but ultimately it's too dull; I thought it would be clearer

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/fruity-pebbles-cereal-breakfast-food-gif-art-gif-2097300187549506867

[stoic ocean]

he said that the real versions will be clearer to better match the Divinapapaya set

Personally, I prefer the green, meteorite, aged and I'm undecided between the three.

[tropic urchin]

The other 2 looked interesting: meteorite and the mechamelon

[tropic urchin]

I think it could work better like that

Little more tame

[stoic ocean]

I don't know, gambling aged is tempting

but the meteorite looks very similar to it

[fiery glen]

What's the requirements for an aftermarket cable with the 60he v2?

Is anything with usb 2.0 good to go?

[lyric nimbus]

where is my wooting parts

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cukurukuk-cat-meme-cat-spin-orange-cat-gif-9589765349313007600

[tropic urchin]

Gambling age will look kinda scuffed if it doesn’t have kinda similarly matching keycaps (idk how I felt about it from alexotos’ stream)

[kind helm]

how you liking the gummy mount

[tropic urchin]

But I guess that’s also part of the aesthetic as well

[tropic urchin]

I’m using 70a rn and been liking it a lot more with the way the PCB sits with Vella and the new grooves makes it easier to position

[uneven cradle]

Kind of, depends on the quality of the cable. 2m is really the limit of cable length before you start to run into issues with power delivery

[stoic ocean]

You're right that it can be really complicated to find keycaps because it's a completely random color.

And you might be disappointed because at any moment you receive a color you weren't expecting.

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I’d probably flip out

[fiery glen]

That depends on the USB version

[stoic ocean]

For the second one, you recommend meteorite then.

[tropic urchin]

If you have a similar kinda grey theme it would go well

[uneven cradle]

Not really the USB standard is a mess USB 2.0 is all you need to power all Wooting keyboards

[fiery glen]

Or well that's an oversimplification
Data signal degrades more depending on USB version, but the power delivery is the same

[uneven cradle]

Yeah well power delivery is the issue not data

[fiery glen]

can't imagine the power consumption of the wooting is at 60w+

[lyric nimbus]

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

[uneven cradle]

I think USB 2.0 is 5w max, issue is being able to consistently deliver that power

And that gets more difficult if your cable is bad quality or the cable length gets too long

[tropic urchin]

I think I’d go with the mechamelon one or whatever it’s called/the deep blue/purple

[fiery glen]

That would be for non PD cables, but since you can use USB-C to USB-C it won't be an issue

[stoic ocean]

You're probably right, but honestly, it really makes me want a version like that.

[tropic urchin]

Is that the meteorite?

[pliant tinsel]

Just ordered lylas

Will look great with the optimum case

[trail bane]

gamba

[wicked vault]

Do you know where to get plates for Wooting 60he

is torontokeyboardman fine?

[stoic ocean]

Nah gambling

meteorite

You see, it's similar, but it doesn't have that random aspect and the patterns

smooth dark grey, that's all.

[tropic urchin]

Yeah they’re fine

I’d also look for keyboard funstore on aliexpress @wicked vault

[tropic urchin]

I def fuck with that more

[stoic ocean]

What does that mean? You mean you prefer the meteorite

[tropic urchin]

Yeah fw = fuck with which means you like said thing

lil amerikan slang

[stoic ocean]

Tuff,well I'll think about it lol

[fluid ravine]

Yeth

[wicked vault]

Would a pc plate make a big difference

[tropic urchin]

I don’t think pc plate is very marbly

It just mutes most sound

If you want a quiet build it would be good

[wicked vault]

guess I’ll return it..

[tropic urchin]

If you want a plastic plate, I’d say POM when paired with poron foam is a good choice

[wicked vault]

For the poron foam I have a friction fit pad so would it fit

[tropic urchin]

@sacred elm your help has been summoned

[wicked vault]

I just remember hearing that no foam for friction fit pad but I’m not sure if the material would matter

[tropic urchin]

You could also do poron sandwich pad I believe but I don’t have a 60HE unfort to answer the friction pad

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

This question good sir

[sacred elm]

poron case foam?

Just use stock case foam

[tropic urchin]

I told him to get poron case foam/sandwich pad + POM combo for marbly, it shouldn’t interfere with friction fit tho right

[sacred elm]

If the foam isn't too thick

[tropic urchin]

Should be fine then alright 🌹

Torontokeyboard man sells foam kits @wicked vault so it should be fine, it’s relatively thin

[wicked vault]

Is the case foam that comes with the tofu60 redux poron?

I searched online and only got an answer from ai…

[sacred elm]

Can also cut the silicone for the alphas and replace it with poron, like 60HE v2 friction fit pad

[sacred elm]

Yes

[wicked vault]

ok so I don’t need to order new foam

[sacred elm]

No

[wicked vault]

are we talking about pcb foam?

[sacred elm]

This yeah

[wicked vault]

Is the friction fit pad easy to cut?

I might try that then

[robust siren]

pretty easy

[wicked vault]

Do you have to glue the foam to the friction fit pad?

[sacred elm]

Very

[sacred elm]

no

[robust siren]

i used a box cutter but scissors probably work

[wicked vault]

ok so both poron case foam and with the pcb

@tropic urchin what’s your personal preference between Pom/fr4/cf for the ur ice I heard myself online but curious

[robust siren]

oh that reminds me i should have a few ur ice ultras left over from doing my friends build

i havent even used them yet

[tropic urchin]

I don’t have them, but I liked deep clack flux on POM with poron combo

Made it kinda poppy as well

FR4 works if you want a versatile plate

CF is a stiffer experience, but overall good plate if that’s what you’re into

But id 100% pair POM with poron as by itself POM can be slightly harsh, but poron removes high frequency sounds for lower freq so it ends up balancing out

If you want plastic I’d go POM

Versatile pick across the board probably FR4

[robust siren]

interesting

the mobius (flux) are brighter than the ice ultras

[wicked vault]

I’m thinking fr4 as well, cf sounds a little too high-frequency to me

[tropic urchin]

It can be but if you have double poron combo (case foam and plate foam) it’s workable

But I’d probably recommend POM, but if you value overall versatility more then FR4

[wicked vault]

if you have any audio clips of your keyboard I’d love to listen to it

[tropic urchin]

I’ll see if I have any on POM but I’d have to wait for a full when my new switches arrive so I can swap DCF out of my venom

[cyan lark]

Send me your old DCF when you do k?

[tropic urchin]

They’re gonna be used tf

You’re gonna have to fight Goku for their custody when I die so

[cyan lark]

So long as I get the rocks 😌

[wicked vault]

[robust siren]

[cyan lark]

[wicked vault]

Damn it’ll also be cheaper if I order the fr4 plate and foam kit from Toronto than my old order for pc plate from Wooting

[tropic urchin]

[robust siren]

move it all the way to the right

[tropic urchin]

@fluid ravine CF plate + poron is world first woodpecker build

[wicked vault]

https://tenor.com/view/tentofate-elmo-elmo-staring-gif-11901234066681497328

[tropic urchin]

Ooo poron was the missing piece 🌹

[wicked vault]

Like this?

[harsh dove]

unacceptable

[robust siren]

yes

it should line up better

at least iirc

[tropic urchin]

It’s very acceptable bc it’s marbly

[harsh dove]

Haha so you tried Alu plate?

[wicked vault]

It’s the best it can go

[tropic urchin]

I gave it another try and I think it’s 100% out of the marbly church

[harsh dove]

[tropic urchin]

Not even poron saving the metallic ping of it

[harsh dove]

Alu is hard to get right sometimes

depends on build and switches

[tropic urchin]

Frog boi said with switches that are more open (ig DCF) Alu is a bit worse

[harsh dove]

I could see that

[tropic urchin]

I’m debating going for ultem or POM

Oh this is good

CF + poron is valid for Vella

[cloud crane]

CF is da wae

[keen moth]

im in the uk wheres a good place to order a holy 60 case

[frank spoke]

Does anyone have the 80HE with zinc alloy and metal keycaps from Awekeys and can say whether the high price is worth it and maybe also do a sound test?

[cloud crane]

Get GMK instead if you're paying those prices

[glacial wind]

It’s purely cosmetic, the sound on every metal keycap is awful

I would not get metal keycaps unless you really do not care about the sound of your keyboard or you enjoy the sound of metal vibrations

It looks very cool but sounds quite bad is the bottom line

[frank spoke]

Ah ok, I thought they sounded good because it's thick material.

[lyric nimbus]

if u want thick material and sounds good

u want ceramic

but stuff like cerakeys have problems with quality assurance

[glacial wind]

yeah my v3 came with one key misaligned still

[cloud crane]

Or XMI for thick pbt

[glacial wind]

fbb is surprisingly thick for a budget option

1.7mm

[deft jolt]

is that a good thing? I just know thin is bad

[glacial wind]

it's preference, but thicker pbt often has a deeper tone. for example my 1.7mm fbb keycaps make some less deep switches sound deeper than ufo switches with some other brand 1.4mm keycaps

[cloud crane]

Thin not bad

DCS is 1.1mm 🤣

But sounds good on certain configs

[glacial wind]

there's some unique blends that are thin and not bad too, like 1.3mm pbt blanks using that random new fiberglass blend thing they're doing seem to sound decent still

[cloud crane]

New SWG stuff seems decent too

[deft jolt]

ohh

[deft jolt]

I see

[cloud crane]

All preference

[deft jolt]

lowkey idk what to get

I always wanted to try fbb

[cloud crane]

Get SWG or XMI maybe FBB

SWG legends crisper tho

[lyric nimbus]

like

i love em but they have issues so i wouldn't really recommend them to people unless if they are very specifically looking for cerakeys

[glacial wind]

the matte versions have been pretty interesting for me. The feel is much nicer than the smooth ones i tried before, but the one key misaligned would definitely drive some people insane

[lyric nimbus]

huh

i like glossy

it's smooth but it kinda grips

[glacial wind]

i don't like smooth, the matte is kind of sticky which i like

[lyric nimbus]

interesting ive heard matte is less grippier than smooth

[glacial wind]

one thing the keys are always cold though lol

[lyric nimbus]

oh yeah

thats kind of a plus for me though

sometimes i just put my hands over cerakeys because its nice and cool

[glacial wind]

the lack of split i'm still unsure on because the different profile split keys i have to use make everything a bit weird

[lyric nimbus]

i dont use split so im indifferent on that

[glacial wind]

at some point i'll swap this build back to some wuque bow probably, since it's one of few wob sets with the full split 1.25u option

[lyric nimbus]

im still debating

polycarbonate case or alu case

[glacial wind]

plus my sound is already weird as hell with cerakeys and cf plate lol, i have to go back to normality at some point

[lyric nimbus]

like

i think polycarbonate would probably complement my sound the most

and i do like the look of polycarbonate in its own way

[glacial wind]

pc case sounds better for sure normally, if goal is that deep tone

it's noticably when i swap between metal and pc 80he cases

[lyric nimbus]

idk i like the look of BOTH

i think im probably gonna choose polycarbonate and then have it dyed a translucent black
