[fluid ravine]

this all because of a plate

fr4 aint even that bad but shi

tune my spacebar just right as well
wire balanced the knight wire (left side was sounding flat) and mixed krytox and DG for the wire, works well for me

[cloud crane]

🙂‍↕️

[worn field]

Recently installed a set of TX AP plate mounted stabilisers but now my spacebar is getting stuck, does anyone know a quick fix?

I’m using cerakeys

[fluid ravine]

what board?

[worn field]

I’m using the wooting 60he with the owlab 60

[fluid ravine]

pc plate?

[worn field]

Everything is stock

Carbon fibre plate with the owlab acoustic sound set

[fluid ravine]

typically the only reason why your stabs are getting stuck is because tx ap plate mount housing is 6.5mm thick and everything from stock plates and pc plate from wooting for the 60he's support 6.25mm. So technically saying that the stab cut out on the plate is pressing inward on the stab housing causing your stem to get stuck midpress.

Cerakey can be a reason too with how heavy it is

[worn field]

Mmm alright that makes sense, anything I can do to fix it?

[fluid ravine]

but if you have a spring that can support the weight then it should work fine
otherwise its a stab housig and plate tolerance problem

[fluid ravine]

I'd just get a new plate

[worn field]

I’m already using 50g springs

They should be “strong” enough I think

[fluid ravine]

50g is pretty light

[worn field]

Really?

[fluid ravine]

you should up it

yes

[worn field]

How much you reckon

[fluid ravine]

iirc the handful of our cerakey users here use 70g and up

[worn field]

Alright noted

Appreciate it

[fluid ravine]

no problem

spacebar is really heavy af, once it goes down with a "light" spring then it will either rebound slowly or can't rebound at all to its inital position due to the weight

not enough elastic force really

[worn field]

Yea it works okish if I install the spacebar slightly on top, but if I press it all the way down it just gets stuck

Like it won’t budge

[fluid ravine]

wait do you have any normal keycaps?

[worn field]

Unfortunately not with me right now

I’m overseas

I bought some owlab ti switches alongside jade pros and WS flux’s so I’ll see if any of those work

But I’ll get a stronger spring

[fluid ravine]

oh ok

i was gonna suggest you to try a normal keycap on the modifiers to check if your stabs are getting stuck because of the plate tolerance or its just because of the cerakey's weight

to fully confirm the issue

[worn field]

Yea that was my first thought initially asw

Maybe the best bet is to wait till I get back to fully confirm it

[fluid ravine]

alrighty then

[worn field]

But it’ll be around another 2 weeks or so

[fluid ravine]

also note that you can't spring swap WS fluxes springs with your normal HE springs

WS Flux's have a different diameter for their springs

[worn field]

Mhm

[fluid ravine]

keep in mind

[worn field]

I’m using geon raws right now

[fluid ravine]

gotcha

[worn field]

Hand lubed

[fluid ravine]

nice

[worn field]

Mind if I add you in case I got any other questions?

[fluid ravine]

yea sure no problem
you should be able to send me messages just fine since we're in mutual servers

[worn field]

Appreciate it

Did you eat your foam?

These switches cost more than the keyboard they are in

[young viper]

Ayo????

Alr kbd fans you've won me over with this one

[glacial wind]

oh i thought you guys saw this already, yeah they showed the cable on a few spots now

the problem is still mostly that their buying process is absurdly complicated

[young viper]

Yeah can I not buy a included PCB?

[fringe quarry]

its gonna be constant production or

[glacial wind]

you can but it requires going to the separate parts section and piecing together every piece you need one by one

[young viper]

Oh thats just silly

[glacial wind]

which is why i think they're losing a lot of sales from wooting customers lol

no one wants to do that. You need a manual and to make your own spec list just to figure out what to buy one by one

[fringe quarry]

are you saying wooting customers are dumb

[young viper]

Yeah, it's a beautiful case

Yes I'm dumb

[fringe quarry]

also seems like custom configuration only works on kbdfans site

not other retailers

[glacial wind]

i think if I gave 100 people the link to the case only maybe 5 would figure out how to even order it separately

even I had to dig around to find the separate accessory section then piece together the 3 pages to make one full build lol

[young viper]

I'm still trying to figure out how lmao

Wooting is Wk right?

[glacial wind]

they don't even make it easy to find where that specific page of the accessories is

yeah

[young viper]

Was second guessing myself there for a sec lol

[fluid ravine]

haha nuu
Dr Dave pinged me just now

[glacial wind]

it's roughly $190-200 to build the basic case minus pcb

[fluid ravine]

I dont check X at all

[young viper]

Eek

[glacial wind]

quite a pricy case

[young viper]

Hmmm tofu 3.0 or ego60

[cloud crane]

Protagonist60 HE 🙏

[young viper]

Wait I just realized it'd make my damn coiled cable off center with the tofu 3.0

[glacial wind]

i also dislike that it's 9 degrees

which is firmly into high angle enthusiast case stuff which average people don't often like that much angle

[young viper]

Eek, I don't know if I'd ever go higher than 7😭

[glacial wind]

i do think the full copper bottom is very pretty though, but it's also like $400 if you buy all the copper parts

[fringe quarry]

damn das a lot of angle

[cloud crane]

At first I thought I disliked high angle

Then I realized I float my fingers when typing

[glacial wind]

also plate options are only for ansi regular spacebar, so if you have split space just be aware you'll need to make your own custom plate later

on a whole a bit of a disappointing launch from kdbfans. Just the lack of plate compatible options and no easy way for wooting customers to buy i think pushes a lot of potential buyers over to zoom64 instead

which is launching less than aweek after this one ends

[fringe quarry]

does it do oring

[cloud crane]

Wish they'd do bumpons on zoom64 instead of those stupid feet

[glacial wind]

i'm wondering how popular it'll be if at all, because i really don't want to waste budget on this case just to check if it fits our friction fit lol

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/dk-nintendo-donkey-kong-gif-23203423

you learned the ways of the varedis huh

making me wanna spend cash i wasnt prepared to spend

https://tenor.com/view/curse-aukerman-comedy-fist-in-air-shaking-gif-5620082

Can't spend cash when you don't have any

@chilly mural Hows the audiophiles window shopping going?

you more of an iem or headphones person ?

[chilly mural]

It's fine, just getting things that really interests mr

But won't be for a while now after getting a new laptop

[tulip rapids]

thats how it should be

[tulip rapids]

how you been liking it?

[chilly mural]

Really nice. The battery life is long and so far it feels better than my other first time with windows laptop

[tulip rapids]

hell yeah

glad youre enjoying your laptop

[glacial wind]

alright i found cheapest option, i order only the tofu 3.0 top and bottom case and the he cable just to see if friction fit works lol

[ionic breach]

cnced bottom?

[glacial wind]

not sure if they said if it's cnc or not

[ionic breach]

the one "with textures"

[glacial wind]

oh no, i'm buying the cheapest option for both because it's never being used and it'll sit on my shelf doing nothing

i just have to check compatibility for friction fit

no split plates, 9 degree angle means it's never going to be something i'd ever personally use

[wicked vault]

I just got into audiophile too and got my first Iem the timeless 2

[glacial wind]

if it was actually nice i'd spend my own money and buy full copper options for it though, but not for a 9 degree angle

[wicked vault]

Got sucked into the tech rabbit hole so now I’m in keyboards

[cloud crane]

I wanna try gaming on a 11 degree glare

[chilly mural]

6 degree rix degree

[ionic breach]

im on the 2.8 angle rn lol

[lyric nimbus]

negative typing angle

[ionic breach]

cos its just easier for travel since it doesnt fallout

[broken notch]

Y'alls friction fit falls out?

I had to really squeeze mine into my holy60 clone lol

[glacial wind]

oh korean tofu 3.0 delivery is q3 lol

maybe i just wait for geon instock extras

[ionic breach]

rip

[ionic breach]

no the 80he angled feet

[broken notch]

Ah

[ionic breach]

the flat feet slots in nicely to my bag and does not catch on stuff and get pushed out

holy inglesh

[broken notch]

Eenglesh hardge

[young viper]

rip, im lookin rn and i wonder if the stainless steel weights would mess with he at all

subtotal 207 before taxes and shipping, not the best, but honestly not the worst compared to some other cases

[glacial wind]

the weights just go into the weight slot and don't interfere with anything

[young viper]

i forgot it was my leather mat that sits on my desk that messes with he lol

secretlab lol

not the actual desk itself

255 with taxes/shipping rippp

[glacial wind]

yeah i think i'm going to skip ordering one and will just pick up an extras later in year to check compatibility if enough people request

the way it's set up now i can't see tofu 3.0 being popular with wooting users at all

[young viper]

oh yeah same here

[fallen pecan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um2BP-gRiwE

[glacial wind]

no auto calibration a bit disappointing

[cloud crane]

It sounds... Laughably bad...

[fluid ravine]

Yea...

Some flux users may like this but the thing that I dont like about them i's the "open" sounded structure that makes it iffy for me.

It just doesn't work well with denser plates imo

Like in my own head the way I think of the fluxes structure is if I'm typing on a plastic box in a plastic box ig. Complete sound but still open yet "hollow" sounding. Whereas some "isolated" switch or normal built ones with good molds like kois, ti he, raptor, crystal, ags, etc have it's own fuller sound which is just easier and nicer to control. Just my opinion and take on what I think abt this flux structure. It's good for stability and shit, smooth as well, but I really dont f with how it sounds most of the time.

[cloud crane]

🙂‍↕️

[wicked vault]

How do you guys lube your switches

See people do differently a lot

[glacial wind]

It’s less common nowadays because lubing has gotten a lot better

But some switches still can benefit

[regal patio]

how do the WS ocean switches sound

and the pink lotus

[young viper]

If a keyboard could sound sad, that's the fluxes

[regal patio]

I put klimat in the spacebar...

IT SOUNDS SOOOOO LOUD

[glacial wind]

ordered a more interesting case that i think we'll get more requests for compatibility/sound testing

cerakey ceramic case on the way

[fallen pecan]

dragon60 sound test: unionwell ice, deep clack, pink lotus, unionwell snow

[glacial wind]

is that that one that's been popular in china lately?

[fallen pecan]

yep

pretty cheap, 399 yuan on TB

[glacial wind]

i wonder if it'll catch on in western countries. I only saw one or two aliexpress listings so far

[fallen pecan]

prolly not unless they start glazing it on tiktok

[glacial wind]

i'm really curious to see what this cerakeys case sounds like

[fallen pecan]

only seen this vid of the builder slapping it

around 1:28

[glacial wind]

i guess i'll find out soon lol

[uneven cradle]

I imagine that's how your place looks Jed with all your Wooting gear

[glacial wind]

it's a real problem. I have to clear out more sections and order more boxes now because i ran out of switch storage, so all the new switches have been piling up in random spots

[young viper]

YEAHHH I genuinely want to try that case or cerakey

Tf when did cerakey release grey matte caps, may order that

[glacial wind]

they're very new

i agree i think they're the nicest color actually lol

white is nice but only matches certain colors, but grey matches a lot of things

[young viper]

That's my current set, so actually the grey might totally fit in

I was debating on just doing all grey or grey A set with the black B set

[fallen pecan]

peep their stock of 60v2 modules

[crimson sky]

just a handful

[glacial wind]

the chinese market is pretty nuts with the scale of everything they do there

[oak jewel]

Sometimes you just randomly encounter an order for 500+ modules

[chilly mural]

Enough to feed a family

[oak jewel]

China moves different

[glacial wind]

i've heard of shops that sell thousands of custom wootings a month there

and that's just one random shop lol

[oak jewel]

Just your average corner shop bodega

[glacial wind]

The ceramic case is not the coolest thing I ordered this week though

Nothing can top this goggle cover

[little glen]

[ionic breach]

gehrin is still alive tho, amongst other current projects

[trail bane]

Would be funny if it’s not

Y’all could blame me cuz this happened after i ordered Gehrin

[cloud crane]

The CTRL lore...

[loud zephyr]

oh shit - dunno if the Gehrin is worth the risk. It potentially sucks for the Arc60 too, that is one of the best feeling keyboards hands down; plateless and gasket doesn't get much better imo

[cloud crane]

Current projects are still alive

Lmao manu

[little glen]

no more intro boards is sad

[tropic urchin]

First time I went to bed early early so put my name in the ring too 🤣

[unkempt crystal]

Anyone could reccomend me some white keycaps? im looking for either aesthetic simple desing or blanks

[ionic breach]

pbs blanks

or pbtfans xray

[untold wigeon]

Any advantages on upgrading the stock stabs and plate in my 60HE+ now that I have it disassembled? I'm going for a silent build with some Silent Peach v3 switches so let me know if upgrading any parts would make it quieter/muted

[ionic breach]

stabs not really

but which plate do you have?

[untold wigeon]

Stock white one

Has to be metal by the feel of it

Maybe alu

[ionic breach]

steel probably

[tall hollow]

stock plate is steel iirc

[ionic breach]

u could get a plastic one

[untold wigeon]

That one then for sure

[ionic breach]

like pp/pom or pc

[untold wigeon]

Would that reduce the sound of the switches?

[ionic breach]

prob yea

[untold wigeon]

Can I just buy any PC plate that fits 60% or is there any compatibility list I need to follow

It's an ISO board

[ionic breach]

https://wooting.io/product/60he-pc-switch-plate?Layout=ISO+Kit&Color=White

[little glen]

If your stabs rattle, you should tune them

[wispy moth]

Hello someone know where I can find xvx keycaps in Azerty?

[sacred elm]

If you currently have steel plate, sure. You can use PC plate with the friction fit pad.

[humble surge]

@fallen pecan still no latenpow golds on TB right?

[polar girder]

Yo that Tenz 80HE is sweet

[little glen]

No iso

[night mulch]

Will there ever ever ever be crazy good sounding switches? very close to mechanical? Like good deep thocks or creamy ones?

[peak breach]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

[night mulch]

i know they have been getting closer but still very far from mechanical

[peak breach]

Probably not

[little glen]

There are lots of good sounding switches but it probably wont sound like mechanical due to the inherent design difference

[tropic urchin]

It’ll take time to cross the threshold since HE is still very new comparatively to MX (40 years vs 7 iirc)

It’s changed quite a bit the last 3 years

[humble surge]

Because it's not possible. This difference comes from the principle of how they work.
Since theres no physical contact, it's not possible to reproduce a close to mechanical sound for these.

[cyan lark]

You could throw copper contacts in there that do nothing

[fallen pecan]

nope

[humble surge]

Allright, thanks

[analog mulch]

hey guys is there a good PC plate for wooting module v2

[sacred elm]

v2 compatible PC plate isn't available, but you can commission one here https://hypekeyboards.ca

v2 plate files are on github

[lyric nimbus]

i commissioned this man for a 2he plate

(i am waiting.)

[limpid acorn]

group buy starts on the 3rd Feb no?

[fringe quarry]

wait faster

[wispy moth]

ta eu une rep depuis ?

[sacred elm]

English only please

[calm pulsar]

HE will never be sounding like conventional MX unless future generations change the structure to a similar one just with magnets, but I don't think anyone is going to make such changes for the sake of a nicer sound

[analog mulch]

would you guys say ttc elf king are good?

not really feeling the tikkens

[glacial wind]

in comparison to other switches out right now? not really

they're more wobbly than jade pros

they're like if ttc released a jade switch but 2 years later than the original jades came out

[analog mulch]

i feel like the tikkens are really wobbly, sometimes im just resting my fingers on the keycaps while playing and they feel like they are moving, never happend with the geon raws

i think imma try the raptors or the owlab ti

[tropic urchin]

Lateron with triple rails

[glacial wind]

why not go for something better rated on top wobble then

i wouldn't necessarily go owlab ti he if top wobble is a big concern for you

they're a little better but not hugely better on top wobble

[lyric nimbus]

how long will the 2he PCB last...

and when it eventually breaks what repair options will i have...

like

[analog mulch]

would you say the raptors are good? i listend to some of the raptor v2 sounds on youtube but they sound a bit scratchy idk

[lyric nimbus]

2he v2 might come out and 2he v1 might be discontinued

[glacial wind]

they're okay, i think sound is a bit flat for me

[lyric nimbus]

so im like

[glacial wind]

i prefer some other options sound wise personally vs raptor v2

[lyric nimbus]

"damn. i have 0 options for repair."

[sacred elm]

Eventually, yeah, but not anytime soon

[lyric nimbus]

and i doubt that the 2he v2 pcb will be compatible with the v1 pcb

[calm pulsar]

there are no moving parts, so unless you break it physically I don't know what can "break" in there lol

[lyric nimbus]

electronics can degrade over time

[analog mulch]

ok thanks for the help broski

[lyric nimbus]

like im sure it'll last like 5+ years but i want this to be something that i use for like

a really damn long time

[calm pulsar]

yeah but I mean 5-10 years is probably very realistic, which doesnt seem bad at all

[tropic urchin]

You steal Tony’s

[fringe quarry]

60he v2 SE when

[oak jewel]

first 60v2 pro max and air

[fringe quarry]

air should be low profile model 👀

[lyric nimbus]

can we get like

a 200% keyboard

[humble surge]

Knobs when
GMK Selene when

[lyric nimbus]

with 104 keys + 96 macro keys

[fringe quarry]

Happiness when

[stoic ocean]

What happened?

[trail bane]

stop hate my second best switch

[glacial wind]

i still have no idea why some people put it highly lol

it's literally just ttc making a jade pro ish switch except it's way later than all the 500 jade pro variants

[tropic urchin]

Has king in the name so it must be good 🤓

[humble surge]

what did you think of the Clip Clops afterall sno? i don't recall reading since you got them.
I have mine aswell, just literally had no time yet next to work, working all the way to Saturday 🥴

[little glen]

they are on the list

[glacial wind]

they're great. I hand lubed mine because they'll be my mains for awhile

[humble surge]

both sound and feel? in some detail ?

[glacial wind]

Yeah sound is quite unique. Sound test is on database already, but they’re basically a nice clacky tone while not being as loud as owlab ti he

Feel wise they’re same as every other good round stem switch, so it’s good there

[humble surge]

Allright, appreciate the input.
For the sound i will judge in person no offence, just wanted to hear the general feedback ty.

[little glen]

They are very tempting to me

[fast anvil]

are there good cases for the tenz board?

[humble surge]

I'll have some more time on Saturday to try, don't expect a new main switch out of it, but it was fancy enough to order and try.

[little glen]

Any case that fits the 80he, so gt-80 would be great

[fast anvil]

is the tenz as good as the 60hev2

?

[little glen]

Yes but it has no split spacebar

And doesnt have european layout option

Base 80he does have the layout options tho

[young viper]

I take it there's no plans of releasing the tenz switches separately?

[little glen]

They‘re just tikkens with lower weight

You can DIY it

Or just use tikkens cause higher weight is better anyway

[young viper]

But it's red😭

[little glen]

There are other red switches

[uneven cradle]

Sort of I believe the spring in the tenZ switches has different force curve also

[humble surge]

I still want to get the heavy tikkens, just not sure who would part with some of them

[little glen]

I will trade some yellow ones for some purple ones

[humble surge]

You can get purples

I have 3 to spare

[peak breach]

just get heavy springs

[regal patio]

Is a POM plate good for deep sound?

[glacial wind]

generally yes, although be aware pom can be very flexy and sometimes cause accidental actuations on 0.1 type settings

[regal patio]

Ok

I just ordered my 60he v2

With the Torontokeyboardman foam and POM plate

[glacial wind]

man people love buying from him over the original sellers lol

[regal patio]

And I am trying to achieve a deep sound board I think

[glacial wind]

i'm so curious about how much he makes off people who don't want to use aliexpress

[regal patio]

probably a lot

[glacial wind]

the foam parts aren't useful for 60he v2, but the plate you'll find more useful

[humble surge]

I couldn't fathom doing so, it's just way too far away, i can't imagine a scenario where it makes sense logistically.
But one fact remains, since i'm on ISO, i only know his site that sells plates for it.
I guess i need to learn the original sources.

[glacial wind]

it's just aliexpress/taobao vendors

he buys from them then resells the kit at markup

[humble surge]

yeah i need to get familiar with the TaoBao sellers that sell it, get the links and all

[regal patio]

What configuration of foam and tape should I use for deep sound

[humble surge]

from there it's smooth ride

[glacial wind]

just the stock config is fine already, just swap the plate

[regal patio]

Ok

[glacial wind]

60he v2 comes with all the stuff pre-added

you really don't need to do anything foam wise really

[regal patio]

It doesn't have much foam

tho

[humble surge]

I think i'll interrogate someone about it in a few months when i'm ordering the Ego80, so it can be packed in the same shipment.

[little glen]

I wonder how much he makes from people in countries that aliexpress sellers dont ship to

[regal patio]

Tbh I don't trust Chinese sites

I feel like they cut some corners to get the cheap prices

[little glen]

Its all the same stuff

[humble surge]

It quite simply gets made there and you have access to the Chinese price, theres not really any more depth to it.

[glacial wind]

it's often the same seller you're buying from too

like kdbfans has their own shop on aliexpress/taobao

so if you want to buy a tofu60 it's literally same people sending it to you, just the website changed between kdbfans vs aliexpress lol

[humble surge]

good reminder, i will need KBDfans TB links

[regal patio]

I got the keytok nova`s for the build is that a good choice?

[humble surge]

btw they have another very similar marketplace called JD or JingDong, but its even more secure, tried to register but its just impossible.
On the other hand at times it can be even more lucrative than TB.

[sweet oak]

@glacial wind you got any fr4 plates i can crunch?

Looking for a good deal

The snow has been hitting the east coast hard and so hungry i have become

[cyan lark]

I didn't know you were here freezing your toes off as well. Explains the deer.

And, in some ways, maybe the crunch obsession

[pseudo halo]

Hey!
Anybody know where I can buy high-quality keycaps similar to the TENZ ones that ship within the EU? 😄

Also — does anyone know where to buy foam for a Tofu60 (first version) within the EU?

Thanks! 🙌

[young viper]

Do they really?

[frank rune]

anyone have some keycap recommendations?

[young viper]

I'll trade you some tikkens for some ufo's

[humble surge]

you have the founder ones?

[young viper]

Ye

[humble surge]

Damn okay, will talk on Saturday then, my time is sadly limited until then

[young viper]

Rip bet

Im debating if I keep them to try with cerakey because that stupid spacebar is so heavy

[humble surge]

thats exactly what i need it for

although i did buy some Blues

which should be exactly capable

but i also don't mind to trade so why not

[young viper]

They just released that matte grey which makes me super tempted to pick up cerakey haha

[young viper]

Oh yeah totally should be, the difference in sound would bug me though haha

[humble surge]

I mean stock is already different

can it really get much worse? xD

[young viper]

Ikr lmaooo

[humble surge]

we will change that gap, if it goes the wrong way oh well haha

[young viper]

Right knaoo

Funny, they're as bout as expensive as a set of gmk

[humble surge]

Thats not even bad

The set i want is 124

[lyric nimbus]

avoid the mattes

their stems have quality issues right now

they tend to crack

[young viper]

V3 seems to have fixed the quality issues, I know v2 was really bad

[lyric nimbus]

the polycarbonate stems are less durable than the v2 stems

[humble surge]

I'm just gonna try them, tired of all the noise

[lyric nimbus]

lots of people are

complaining that the stems crack

id honestly recommend getting the v2s over v3s rn or wait until the quality issues are fixed

[humble surge]

I talked to some Crazed owners, all were fine. So just gonna ignore the naysaying.

[young viper]

Same here lol

There shouldn't be a stem difference between the two sets, only difference is the glaze on the caps

[lyric nimbus]

crazed is v2

lmao

v3s are matte, v2s are glossy

[young viper]

I think hippo made a video on the v3's I need to check

[humble surge]

See what i mean? you act like i should be aware what you are lmaoing about.
Watch me buy it and no QC issues. As i said, tired of the clownery.

[lyric nimbus]

...i use cerakeys

[young viper]

You have the v2?

[humble surge]

I applaud you

[lyric nimbus]

yes

v2s are nice

you can notice some quality issues with keycap alignments and certain keys can fall off if you press them in an intentional way though (in which case you just shoot cerakeys an email with the issue) but they are very nice

[humble surge]

If you read this chat more often, you would see that people naysay just about everything, pretty sure they didn't make that distinction for v2 or v3 either, just overall the material.
It's not you at fault, just this overall mentality.

Pressing skip.

[lyric nimbus]

they did on the website

[humble surge]

You aren't listening, i'm talking about the people talking about it.

[pliant tinsel]

Wait you can still use other Pads while using the friction pad ? Because at the top it says friciton fit pad and then the bottom siliconee sandwich pad, i thought you can only use the friction pad standalone

[little glen]

friction fit is a silicone pad

[lyric nimbus]

but yeah id avoid matte/v3s until they fix the bad cracking issues
if you do want ceramic keycaps and you're not specifically looking for the matte texture, get the glossys/v2s but be aware that your keys can be slightly misaligned/can fall out if you press them in a certain way (which you can contact cerakeys support about)

[young viper]

I haven't found any posts talking about the v3's cracking issues, can you point me that direction?

[lyric nimbus]

cerakeys discord

[pliant tinsel]

Ohh oops

Okay yeah makes sense

Thanks😭

[pseudo halo]

Hey!
Anybody know where I can buy high-quality keycaps similar to the TENZ ones that ship within the EU? 😄

Also — does anyone know where to buy foam for a Tofu60 (first version) within the EU?

Thanks! 🙌

https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-crosshair-1?srsltid=AfmBOopsiMnoRAnWgmblWJYz9caanZ3dPEZ78z6SlxTi_-kuxJZZKVyu

Pretty sure these are the exact same keycaps

[pseudo halo]

I have been looking at those, but they are not in stock, and I think the wait is long. Do you know any else?

or recommend any websites I can look at, I looked at kbdfans and gmk.

[tulip rapids]

we have pbtfans crosshair at home dear

[round sparrow]

not sold separetly

[bleak kite]

So peak though

[tulip rapids]

im recreating the meme where you ask your mom for mcdonalds and she says you have food at home

[tropic urchin]

You got some more of them pixels

[bleak kite]

I found some similar on aliexpress, but I can’t speak to the quality of them

I just found this on AliExpress: | GMK WOB Red Cyrillic PBT 129 Keys DYE Sublimation Cherry Profile Keycaps Japanese Personality Keycaps For Mechanical Keyboard
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMr91Q1

[pseudo halo]

okay, I want the same quality as the original wooting keycaps. Only reason I want to chance the keycaps is that the are worn out and the grip is bad. Do you have any websites I can look at for high quality keycaps? Looked at kbdfans, gmk keycaps and maxgaming.

[bleak kite]

Original wooting keycaps aren’t great quality imo, but I can’t really help you find exactly what you’re looking for. What i sent from aliexpress is as good as i can do

[pseudo halo]

Alright, thanks a lot!

[young viper]

@humble surge appears there is a few qc issues

[bleak kite]

What keycaps are these?

[young viper]

Cerakey v3's

[bleak kite]

Aw maaan

I heard these were like the only good ceramic keycaps

Keychron’s ceramic keyboard sucks too

Maybe its just not meant to be

[young viper]

Keychrons "ceramic" keyboard is possibly the biggest marketing scam they've ever had lol

[cyan lark]

What, is it not ceramic?

[lyric nimbus]

pretty sure it is ceramic

just not well made

[pale haven]

has anyone found a wooden case for the 80he?

[cyan lark]

I mean... that's not a scam then, just a cheap product

[lyric nimbus]

v2s exist

they dont have the problems with stems but they still do have some quality control issues

not as critical as the pc stems cracking but still there

[young viper]

Marketing scam in the sense that what they did was piss poor quality to the point where it no longer did what it advertised. All the keycaps were a ceramic coating over a normal plastic cap, I'd like to say the ceramic case was the same, but I'd need to check

[lyric nimbus]

i thought it was ceramic, just produced in a really cheap way

[cyan lark]

They were not ceramic coating over a normal plastic cap, I just watched Hipyo's video where he chipped apart the keycap and they're ceramic all the way through 😵‍💫

The stems are plastic

And the case is ceramic

[lyric nimbus]

i mean the stems being plastic is like

not bad

cerakeys v1 stems were made out of ceramic and they had big tolerance issues

[cyan lark]

If ya don't like it don't buy it but calling something a scam when it just ain't is wild

Yeah didn't they switch to plastic stems after that debacle?

[lyric nimbus]

yeah

[south swallow]

do you have a link please?

[lyric nimbus]

out of all the cerakeys im pretty sure that v2s are the least defective

with its defects not being that critical

[young viper]

Were they? I must've been thinking of something different, I just hate keychron lmao

[lyric nimbus]

i think it was one of the other ceramic keycap knockoffs

[young viper]

I wish they still had the v2 cerakeys in matte lol

[young viper]

Must've got my videos mixed up yeah

[cyan lark]

🤷 keychron seems alright to me for being pretty budget minded

[lyric nimbus]

i think it was like

this

[cyan lark]

My biggest complaint about their HE boards is they use switches w/ a diff polarity from most others so they're borderline proprietary at this point

[lyric nimbus]

and then someone did like

a heating test

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/933196232686440528/1375315160268537896/cerakey.mp4?ex=697ccece&is=697b7d4e&hm=671e7887f9ad54388a165a08d86fd424fc1c0fb0ab53029497b5f1907c5d0a3f&

[cyan lark]

Videos you can smell

[young viper]

Yeah, like the q0 numpad would've been perfect if it allowed other switches

[young viper]

Lmaooo that's awesome

[stoic ocean]

Interesting, but now you really have blowtorches instead of fingers.

[crimson sky]

oh so when my keyboard catches fire at least (the top of) my keycaps will be fine

[undone stratus]

when I had a razer keyboard i would rage now wooting has calmed my nerves!

[wicked vault]

Gotta break something less expensive lol

choosing your battles

How do you guys feel about pet film on pcb and switches

And space bar foam

[pliant tinsel]

You guys think the pc switch plate will be nice with the optimum case? Heard the pc switch plate is great for aluminium cases

[uneven cradle]

Not recommended for HE switches

[wicked vault]

Őķ

[lyric nimbus]

doesnt the 60he v2 do that

or is it very specifically designed just for the 60he v2

[tropic urchin]

PET film on PCB is fine, filming switches is the no no

bc then you're actively nerfing your keyboard

[lyric nimbus]

huh ok

i need to figure out a way to

get PET film cut

[stoic ocean]

I read it, but we don't have any more information.

[cloud crane]

What kind of info you looking for

CTRL lore?

Manu drama?

[lyric nimbus]

oh nvm this is easy theres a machine that does it near me

[loud zephyr]

1 guy is moving on from Ctrl(middle men for manufacturers and vendors), Manu will still work with Bowl and others. And that's it but the keyboard space likes drama lul. At least that's the vibe from Bowl's stream 🤷‍♂️

[uneven cradle]

Manu hardly helps himself from how he responds to criticism

But yes the keyboard community does love some drama

[lyric nimbus]

damn

i was about to ping

[fringe quarry]

wooting drama when

[uneven cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/machoman-wrestling-gun-wwe-gif-5184546

[lyric nimbus]

oh yeah

ill start posting pics for assembling when all the parts arrive

[little gull]

hey i have possible stupid questions 1. does the 60HE V2 modular come with a wooting strap 2. will i need to get the lub set and switch tools with it as well or no 3. where can i buy good quality keycaps

[robust siren]

the strap comes with the case
switch tool and lube is optional
get keycaps from https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[little gull]

Awesome really appreciate you answering

[lyric nimbus]

do you guys think i can make this port more elegant

this back looks a little cringe

[little glen]

Could make it boxier on the back so the screw holes arent as extended

[young viper]

What board is it designed for?

[lyric nimbus]

2he

[lyric nimbus]

mmm

[cloud crane]

Try the F1 strat

[polar girder]

Yo that cannon keys bullet train looks sick. Just a shame there’s no HE PCB.

[warped glade]

It’s pretty tempting as an iPad keyboard… trying to convince myself i really don’t need it

[cyan lark]

I dig it, just make sure you're giving yourself enough clearance around for bulkier cable terminators, as well as some space around the port itself for alignment error.

[thorn zealot]

Fishy

[sturdy rock]

i think maybe make it more boxier so there isnt such a large cutout that goes to the bottom of the case, and in terms of design maybe a nice horizontal elongated daimond shaped design makes it unique and the corners slighty rounded i feel would look good. idk test that out

[fluid ravine]

Sound acoustic modifiers
To try or not to try in benom

[cyan lark]

All of it or none of it

[fluid ravine]

Prob diff variation

I have 3 types of pcb films on hand rn

Silicone pad and epdm/poron plate foam as well

Gonna try PET film first

[wicked vault]

let me know how you think

[fluid ravine]

Yh np
I know what each of these do and how they work but im just gonna like record them just the sole purpose to see if yall can hear the difference
So far i have the PET film cut for the alphas (using 60he v2 pet film but puting it in my 7u pcb) and so far not a noticeable difference on the avg use but i know the mids are slightly raised and the highs a tiny bit lower but not that noticeable at all.

[robust siren]

i got one of these for my bakka

[fluid ravine]

should up the volume for this to hear that slight difference

[robust siren]

hmm

how horrific will holy60 no foam sound

[wicked vault]

this one def sounds darker

[robust siren]

with bakka

[wicked vault]

first sounds a lot brighter

[fluid ravine]

ayyy there we go

yup

[wicked vault]

ye i hate when sounds gets too bright

piercing in my ear

[fluid ravine]

lol

which one too try next....

[wicked vault]

if youre moddifying can you try with poron foam vs without

[fluid ravine]

i have a PE film

[wicked vault]

if thats too annoying its fine too

[fluid ravine]

i can do that

[wicked vault]

like pe foam?

[fluid ravine]

ye

[wicked vault]

isnt that damaging keyboard performance or just for sound test

[fluid ravine]

for the sound test

and i think the one i have is thin enough so its fine anyways

like 0.25mm

[wicked vault]

id appreciate all the sound tests lol

[fluid ravine]

then we have the switches to compress on it when sitting

[fluid ravine]

Ill do pe foam first

Since I already have it pre cut

@wicked vault

silicone pad timeee

[robust siren]

are you doing pe and pet film?

[fluid ravine]

Cant

Theyre both films

[robust siren]

[robust siren]

should i try pe film since i have one

but that requires me taking off stabs

[fluid ravine]

Cut it

I always cut the area around the stabs

[robust siren]

i need to remove my pet film

[fluid ravine]

(°o°:)ᴼʰ

[robust siren]

too much work 🔥

maybe when i try friction fit pad

ykw ill do it tomorrow

[fluid ravine]

Silicone pad sounding muted and snappy as expected

[robust siren]

im gonna cut basically entire bottom row out

[wicked vault]

wow cant really hear the difference this time lol

[fluid ravine]

Really?

It's a whole pitch shorter on the bottom out

[wicked vault]

ye between this and the pet film

[fluid ravine]

[wicked vault]

ig i can kinda hear slightly lower

but quality mostly sounds the same

[fluid ravine]

Most of the high frequencies on the pe foam is reduced by a lot compared to the pet

And that's mostly the top out frequency im pretty sure

[wicked vault]

i did listen for 5 seconds lol

let me listen whole thing

ok playing them together i can hear it now

[fluid ravine]

ill prob upload them all at the same time when im finish with all of them

silicone pad... lower mids, more emphasis on the highs on my board since its a really loud and bright board

if it was a lower pitched board then the silicone wouldve emphasize the lower ends a bit more when the mids is lessen

[lyric nimbus]

ok its not as extreme

[fallen pecan]

@humble surge these are in stock, pink ufos sold out

[fluid ravine]

Similar to PET film that's for sure
Silicone pad is just straight up more muted whereas the pet film alone sounds more "open" since nothing is filling the space between the plate and pcb

[wicked vault]

im ngl your keyboard sounds so good no matter what....

whats the specs

[fluid ravine]

thanks

[lyric nimbus]

ok i had a question when just

[fluid ravine]

Ill send once I do the poron pad

[lyric nimbus]

talking about plates when i asked tom to remove a hole from my plate that i didnt need (i dont need to ground a fr4 plate)

assuming you could get a plate made out of any material known to mankind, regardless of budget or how difficult it is to work with the material to actually form a plate

what plate would thock and what plate would clack the most

[sturdy rock]

are they different from the purple ones?

[sturdy rock]

it looks better

[fallen pecan]

same specs

[sturdy rock]

ahh just different color i see i didnt really see the clear ones for sale

[fluid ravine]

My personal description on how each of these sound modifier works (Gonna keep it short)
Poron pad- Reduces higher frequencies, More emphasis on the lows and mids
Silicone pad- Reduces mid frequencies, emphasis on either lows or highs depending on the board configuration on which side it leans onto more
PE Foam Film- Lowers high frequencies like Poron but since it doesn't fill in the space between the plate and pcb it's more of a sheet filter rather than a plate foam.
PET Film- Slightly higher mid and less highs

Base Configuration (Foamless build):
Vella60 PE (case)
Venom60HE 7U PCB
GMK Black Snails
Alu Plate
Duhrawkken switches (Duhuk top housing, Geon Raw Stem, 65g 22mm springs, Tikken Bottom Housing)
YIKB Stabs and Knights V2
50a Oring

[fluid ravine]

@wicked vault

@tropic urchin tried some plate foam and films configurations, no case foam

sheesh im done for the night

all that in one hour, new record

[dusky moat]

Anyone have numpad to match wooting? Need suggestions

[chilly mural]

2nd and 4th sounds the least harsh. Alu foamless sounds the most harsh. Rest are in between

[fluid ravine]

good take

[chilly mural]

Im wearing iem that accentuate the harshness, so it might sound even less irl.

[fluid ravine]

personally, i'm all for the foamless build, i love bright and full sounding boards

[fluid ravine]

which ones u wearing

[chilly mural]

Meze alba.

[wicked vault]

very nice

[chilly mural]

High treble, nice detail, but can sound too much if you aren't a treble head like me.

[wicked vault]

the custom switches are crazy

[fluid ravine]

that makes sense on why foamless sounds harsh

me with my astrals

[chilly mural]

If only you can EQ your ears... at least you can snuck fuck ton of foam

[fluid ravine]

treble seems more forward on the meze compared to astrals

interesting

i lvoe treble :>

[fluid ravine]

lmao

break in dem ears

[fluid ravine]

hehe indeed it is

[chilly mural]

It's a nice set. Like $100 cheaper than astral ($160).

[fluid ravine]

still far way to go

[fluid ravine]

that's pretty good dayum

end game- top pros

one day

[robust siren]

have you heard my mobius one

[fluid ravine]

show

i mightve

[fluid ravine]

phone mic?

[robust siren]

yeah

these were the kois(?)

i can do pc recording tomorrow if you want

[thorn zealot]

I don’t think I can go treble chasin in iems now😭

[fluid ravine]

yesh please

i think the phone mic is too far to capture like specific details of how the board sound

mobius is the flux built looking ah right?

sounds like one

damn my memory fried chat

[robust siren]

doubleshot pbt keycaps
mobius switches
fr4 universal plate
foam sandwich pad
pet film
yikb stabs
tape mod

[robust siren]

yeah

mobius recolored original flux

[fluid ravine]

same thing with kois?

[robust siren]

mhm

[fluid ravine]

ohhh

[robust siren]

wait no

[fluid ravine]

any improvements or neh

[robust siren]

i dont think kois had the led pcb installed

not sure if that effects the sound

[fluid ravine]

slight bit maybe

[fallen pecan]

gore did you pick up the rgb kois as well?

[robust siren]

ledpcb has its own foam between that and the pcb

[robust siren]

no i didnt

[fluid ravine]

i want koisss

[fallen pecan]

ah thought you did, it has an interesting pa12 pom pa12 struct

[fluid ravine]

huh

[robust siren]

dew it, its ONLY $22

[fluid ravine]

through a fricking AGENCY

im good

idk how to deal with things like that

if it were to be sold on ali i would buy insta

:/

idek if its good

[robust siren]

give them your address there totally wouldnt be a pipebomb in the package

[fluid ravine]

im just oing based off sound here 😭

usps can't make up their mind

between choosing when to deliver my plate lol

hopefully tmr

[robust siren]

you can also get rakka for a hell of a lot cheaper off tb than people reselling it here

[fluid ravine]

i go home early tmr as well, so i hope it gets home by the time i do

[fluid ravine]

help a yunc out

[robust siren]

should i get soju spacebar kit

[fluid ravine]

[fallen pecan]

consoom

[robust siren]

for the blue 3u spacebars

[fluid ravine]

hmmmmmmmmmmm

which spcaebars u using rn

[robust siren]

kkb motel

[fluid ravine]

yee

its the one with the slightly off white right?

[robust siren]

or do i do 7u blue spacebar and fuck split

[robust siren]

sadly

[fluid ravine]

shiii

[fluid ravine]

spacebar kit come with 7u bars as well?

[robust siren]

it came with base iirc

[fluid ravine]

if it does then hell why not

[robust siren]

yeah it does

[robust siren]

i can finally do white number row with white backspace

and blue out everything else

it looked so cooked before

if it was blue everything except numbers

[wicked vault]

bro we might be twins i got like the exact key caps you have and almost all your mods lol

[tall elk]

which kiwi ears are you using? (sorry its a compltely out of topic question)

[regal patio]

True

[regal patio]

Sounds great!

[worn field]

Can anyone recommend any keycap sets?

White themed

[glacial wind]

Might need to be more specific. White theme is a lot of keycaps

Any designs, color combinations with white etc that you like for example

[humble surge]

Ohh, do send tb link when you can please

[fallen pecan]

https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=985078762754

[worn field]

Hmm right, was mainly looking to cop a few sets for my silver gravastar v60 pro and hm61z build

I’ve also got the tenz 80he which I’m planning on making a white build out of using the white zinc case - but I’ve already sorta settled for the Yuki Aim Oni keycap set

I’d like to have a stellar/spacey sorta theme for my gravastar and a Japanese/Anime style type with kanji characters for my custom build. I’d like to keep it mostly white themed but having a two toned grey and white combo is fine asw

I think PBT caps are fine or double shot? I’m honestly open to any suggestions; just needs to feel high quality and look nice. I’m not a big of a fully translucent/transparant keycap set but having some keys transparant is fine.

Planning on using stock UFO switches and Jade Pros/WS Flux’s

Regular cherry profiling and ANSI layout ofc

Lmk if im missing anything

[fluid ravine]

Kiwi Ears Astral

[broken notch]

Pink ufos?!

Are they different sounding?

[fallen pecan]

same materials, prolly not

[broken notch]

Oh

[glacial wind]

they're recolors for partnerships etc basically

[young viper]

PINK UFO'S???? WHERE

[glacial wind]

i'm still confused that some people like taishan gt pink though

because they're like half silent with bizarre chattery unclear sound

feels like unless your goal was as quiet as possible without going to full silent style switch then it'd be not matching any sound preference

[regal patio]

Why jade pro's?

They aren't that good tbh

There are better options out there

I think Gateron will soon run out of names for their switches

If they keep putting out Jade Pro, Ultra, Max, Air

Let's move to a different mineral

[fluid ravine]

its giving iphone

jade ultra pro air mx

[worn field]

I mean I heard it was a pretty universally decent switch

One of my friends asked me to try em out

[chilly mural]

There's still a way, mixing 2 of em together. Pro ultra, ultra max, max pro, and air pro. Then combine 3 of em if that's done too

[worn field]

Fr

[fluid ravine]

w marketing

every release, one update

[worn field]

What are the best HE switches for thock?

[worn field]

Also btw what better options are there?

[regal patio]

Check the list of wooting

They have good options

Also there is wooting sound tests

[worn field]

Got a link?

[regal patio]

I have tried jade pro's in my 80he build

[worn field]

What are your thoughts on em?

[regal patio]

#🪛│modding_faq message

Here

[worn field]

Thanks

Absolutely goated list appreciate it

[regal patio]

The jade pro's have a slight magnetic chatter to them

If you tried older magnetic switches you would know

[fluid ravine]

its the top housing

the chatter comes from the top housing

[regal patio]

They have crunch

[worn field]

Is it very noticeable?

[cloud crane]

RBO Nylon HE switch when 🤔

[regal patio]

Probably

Depends if you hear it

I do

So that's noticable to me

[fluid ravine]

Fluxes back in the wooting board @tropic urchin
Put back the pet film and changed the alphas to silicone

and i still dont like this config one bit

[haughty shoal]

Are TTC Elf Kings any good or Should I just Stick with Just Getting Owl Lab Ti He and Gravastar UFO's

[wicked vault]

[regal patio]

They aren't that good lol

[fluid ravine]

im very picky

[regal patio]

I mean the elves

They are quite old now

[glacial wind]

elf king are like jade pro level at best, if not slightly worse

[regal patio]

Aka not that good

Why are people looking to buy the switch that is the most popular on YT

Like the Jade's family

[fluid ravine]

[wicked vault]

sounds kinda sticky for some reason

might be the reecording lol

[fringe quarry]

we should all buy novas

[regal patio]

That's what I did lol

[regal patio]

Too clacky

[fringe quarry]

i hope when they release a improved version they will call it supernova

[regal patio]

That would be cool

[fluid ravine]

It does

[wicked vault]

kinda reminds me of some school keybaords lol

keys would get stuck

[fluid ravine]

Indeed it does..

I'm sorry but I be hating on flux sometimes

[regal patio]

In my school there are like horrible Logitech keyboards

[wicked vault]

i kinda prefer a more clear sound with the marbly

[fluid ravine]

Eh it's more like the switches sound signature for me, it ain't it

[regal patio]

Not mechanical :(

[wicked vault]

hopefully the one im making will be like that...

kinda afraid i will overlube

[haughty shoal]

I wonder how 3D Printed Resin switches would sound

[regal patio]

Or they could keep calling them nova pro, nova pro max, nova air, nova ultra, nova pro max ultra pro air ultra max

[fluid ravine]

I like all of my boards to be bright and full sounding at least. MX has exceptions for me, thin clack, sharp clacks, sometimes foamy builds here and there. Cherry scratches.
But besides that if it's HE I just need s full sounding switch.

[regal patio]

Just like Gateron and UR

[fluid ravine]

Tip for lubing, when looking at your coating per stroke. Make sure it's an even shine without any white clumps, if there's white clumps, you over lubed. However it should be fine with HE switches whereas their mold design compared to MX is much bigger so everything just breaks in easier.

[wicked vault]

do you lube your bottom and top housing btw

[fluid ravine]

Uh for my switches I do bottom housing stem rails, full stem, and top housing yes

Avoid lubing the stem hole in the bottom housing

And if you want to lower the pitch contact of the bottom out then lube the bottom housing floor

You can look at this for reference

[glacial wind]

honestly long as you do rails well and bottom of spring (or bag lube spring) you're usually good enough

[fluid ravine]

Thats true
Factory lube now and then is pretty good

Most contact points for smoothness are targeted

[glacial wind]

often i don't even need to add my own lube and just spreading factory lube is enough to cover the whole stem area i need

[fluid ravine]

Only then when you need to lube is just to spread it out evenly

[glacial wind]

i get confused when some people said tikkens needed more lube though, and i question if they even opened them and looked inside

because there's so much lube already lol

like even in the tikken short i took you can see the gleam of how much lube is on the stems already

[fluid ravine]

Lol

Oddly enough I see like dabs of lube on the top housing as well

[fringe quarry]

thats how i want them

[fluid ravine]

[wicked vault]

Do I just lick the excess lube off

[robust siren]

show,

[robust siren]

kiwi ears astrals

[wary anvil]

Maybe it depends on the batch! I found my tikkens has almost none at all with some parts of the stem completely dry!

[fringe quarry]

rare role :o

[wary anvil]

Not a problem though because it sounded much better imo after lubing

[cinder spruce]

Are there any good aftermarket plate silicone or foam for the 60he? I gummy o ring mounted my wooting in a tofu60 and the foam kinda got messed up

[sage flicker]

Hello sir. Just wanted to ask, how do you think one could get the most silent switches/keyboard setup possible? I listened to these 4 switches' sound tests and they all still have distinct sound, lower pitch ofc, but definitely not silent. Is there a better switch out there for pure silence? Do I add o-rings and a Sorbothane pad in the case for more mutedness? I saw some YT vids of people attempting it before but they weren't using HE switches. Wondering what's your take on achieving this, if it's possible? lol. 🖖

[glacial wind]

those are as silent as it comes, there's no way to have 100% pure silence

the only sound left for example with the peach silent is just the sound of the materials rubbing

[sage flicker]

u think a sorbothane pad in the case would help? Was asking Gemini and it mentioned using that, lol. Is peach silent the most silent HE switch out right now? Does it beat Gateron Gentry (I know there's no sound test for that one)?

[chilly mural]

https://stopcitingai.com/

[glacial wind]

Genty silent isn’t even silent or near silent

It’s like lekker v1 level of noise

I wouldn’t do any other sound mods as your switches are already inaccurate due to silencing dampening inside those switches

there's not much else to gain sound wise by making more mods, especially with peach silent where literally all the sound is from just the stabs hitting and the rail friction

[sage flicker]

The thing is, I mod my switches for travel distance to only .5mm, so the accuracy thing for me wouldn't matter.

[glacial wind]

unless you somehow use magnets to mag lev your switch rails for no physical touch i don't think there's anything you can do there

and muting your stabilizers would make it feel awful to use

[sage flicker]

i see, gotcha.

[outer wyvern]

I got a question someone might be able to answer. Why is it when I press my LControl key it acts as a toggle but it is not set as a toggle in any of the games I play and when I press another key it untoggles? Please DM me if you have any fixes or answers. ❤️

[tall elk]

Are you using any dac/amp with it? Have u tried kiwi ears aether?

[robust siren]

moondrop dawn pro 2

[fringe quarry]

rakka atlas in tofu 3 would only work with the tofu plate right

so not the plate that comes with the atlas

Oh the white was a recolor. That’s disappointing. I was hoping for the ttc silent

[cloud crane]

Still waiting on Kafka60

[humble surge]

Excellent, thanks

[fringe quarry]

Are there any 60%, center usbc, atlas stock plat compatible (so oring / friction mount?) cases that look similar to the new tofu?

or lowkey cases that fit that criteria at all (as an alternative to the leggera)

[cloud crane]

Keebscape Solaris

[fallen pecan]

749 for ano, 799 for ecoat

[fringe quarry]

thx

[fringe quarry]

lowkey this could be a nice option too

probably oring option aswell

[cloud crane]

Still a WIP sadly

[civic surge]

Hello guys, i dont know if this fits in here or in keycaps. I just bought a wooting 80 HE ISO Layout. What im additionally searching are keycaps fit for the wooting 80HE.

The Keycaps need to be:

-Backlit
-ISO (DE)
-Korean (Hangeul) Sub-legends
-color doesnt really matter

I looked through the whole internet and even wrote the Wooting Support. I can't find anything. Also im a total noob when it comes to Keyboards and modding. I would appreciate any help or tips. Or if you know someone who knows someone who makes such keycaps i would be happy. I didnt imagine its that hard to find.

[glacial wind]

I don’t think that exists sorry

[cloud crane]

Best bet is to make custom keycaps

[glacial wind]

Backlit letters is already hard to find, add in iso and it’s incredibly rare combo. Then Korean sub legends makes it basically non existent

[fringe quarry]

have they shared or talked anywhere about it?

[cloud crane]

I think in the typface discord

[civic surge]

Custom keycaps, i guessed so too but all sites where i could make custom ones are all non backlit.

Guess its really hard to find then. Maybe should ask koreans? lmao

[cloud crane]

Ye ask them lol

[fringe quarry]

oh i see

[cloud crane]

Found it

[fringe quarry]

lol

[cloud crane]

Lol

[fringe quarry]

MAY

🤬

[cloud crane]

? I think they're referring to it being a instock drop instead of group buy

[glacial wind]

Koreans use ansi so the local Korean ones are non iso. Also backlit kind of kills all the enthusiast Korean keycaps because they’re all non backlit letters

[fringe quarry]

would be great (on other vendors too pls)

i encouraged them in the server

[cloud crane]

We'll see haha

[fringe quarry]

should sell very well tho

[sage flicker]

@glacial wind was about to pull the trigger on the Peach silent switches but then read they might not be the most silent. What do you think is the most "silent" switch of the silents out there?

[silver depot]

I always wondered if there's any differences between VARO and Wooting, since I barely find any info on those kbs💔 🥀

[glacial wind]

where did you read that?

they're the most silent of all the ones i've tested

i feel you maybe read about the mx version, which has more options for silent switches overall

[sage flicker]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_OcIebjQPQ&t=111s - ok apparently Dove is a contender.

[glacial wind]

he doesn't have a ton of silent switches, with peach silent being the most silent one i've tested so far

[sage flicker]

some reddit page lol

[glacial wind]

he's lying, it's milktooth

[sage flicker]

ya idk who/'what that is

[glacial wind]

dove is the mathew switch, which is also in the database

[sage flicker]

yeah i saw that, wasn't tested though for sound

[glacial wind]

it's louder, you can listen to that soundtest and compare

[glacial wind]

dove = mathew recolor

[sage flicker]

matthew switch oh ok

[glacial wind]

just listen to the mathew switch

it's also way rattler, it's the older version of the freya switch basically

[sage flicker]

ok i heard, ya ur right. Peach it is then.

tyvm! 😄

[fringe quarry]

love me some 5pin he switches

@cloud crane the reaction in the typface discord basically confirms it right

[regal patio]

Milktooth doesn't have good recommendations lol

[vague haven]

Hi guys recently got a 80he Hope its good

[regal patio]

And calling the sticky rice switches thocky is just laughable

[regal patio]

Stock or with some switches

[cloud crane]

Probably

[vague haven]

Stock only had to put on the switches

[regal patio]

Which ones?

[vague haven]

The Cheaper one’s I think the Other ones Are called cink alloy or Else (black)

[regal patio]

So you got a PCR case?

[fallen pecan]

keyboard fun store has the plates

[lunar sand]

Keebox

[robust siren]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_c4S39X8r

[lunar sand]

dunno if its any good, but i'll tell you after this weekend

[fallen pecan]

How much is this for you

[glacial wind]

just make sure the plate is screw in compatible if you buy plates

[robust siren]

33

[glacial wind]

we've had bunch of folks buy the plate mount version by mistake

[fallen pecan]

ahh regional pricing

my link is pcb mount no worries

[robust siren]

is it fine using a foam sandwich pad in the 80he

ik it uses the pad as a gasketmount

[glacial wind]

i think i've gotten used to the weird cerakey + cf combo noise now

[lunar sand]

i got that one and this foam kit:

[robust siren]

am currently looking at this

[lunar sand]

not installed yet

just got everything today

the foam kit looks good

[fallen pecan]

these sound packs are made for the stock case

should be fine

[robust siren]

does foam sandwich pad work fine in place of silicone?

if not ill probably just cut the alphas out like i did with friction fit 60he+

[humble surge]

#🌐│pc_gear message technically not keyboard modding, but finally got my cables, revised batch, original order from December 29th

[lunar sand]

[robust siren]

[fallen pecan]

[robust siren]

[lunar sand]

i actually bought the same for the 60HE ... but also want to try on my GT60 to see if its compatible

😄
