#

yeah i have a set budget each month just for buying all the switches

#

although these days a lot of the mainstream ones the vendors just send them, but i do try to buy anything that i think will be popular/good in western community

cloud crane
#

👍

glacial wind
#

i mostly only avoid the ones where it's a 'china only' thing, because kind of not useful to test those

#

the one on my radar right now is koi rgb, but only if they make it to aliexpress because so far i haven't seen any western vendors stock them

humble surge
#

whats interesting about the KOI?

glacial wind
#

just a new pa12 variant

#

pa12 = the material that nova/ocean whisper use to get sound deeper

humble surge
#

i mean it in the way that i haven't seen what it is, what might be the center of interest

#

okay fair

#

I'll try to fetch links

#

Sadly CNY is here so no ordering stuff now till mid March or so for me.

glacial wind
#

they're on taobao already, i just haven't bought em since not super useful for me to buy them if they never become sold to western audience

unique lark
#

Where can I find some nice keycaps for my 60he v2 split spacebar (Iso layout)?

humble surge
#

Yeah i'll order them there next month then

#

This gunna be a dark February

glacial wind
#

actually i kind of enjoyed the kailh ice cream even though they won't be popular

#

they're loud and clacky like owlab ti he

humble surge
#

haven't heard of that one either

#

maybe i'll sample that too

glacial wind
#

it's been awhile since i've used really bright clacky switches like ti he, so kailh ice cream was fun to try out for a bit

#

the one switch i still don't understand is the ugaming taishan gt pink though - who was that switch made for

inland lily
#

Are there any analogues with 3.4-3.5 travel?

glacial wind
humble surge
#

Idk but some people were glazing the Taishan GT recently in another discord, and i absolutely never heard of it anywhere before that, not here either lol.

glacial wind
#

yeah i will never understand taishan gt or taishan gt pink glaze

humble surge
#

Another thing i'm interested in is the Chase Zeros

glacial wind
#

the original version sounded chattery loud and not nice, the new pink version sounds like they're almost silent but not silent while having no clear sound, so again was not nice to use

#

i have both sound tests in database actually, but i did not enjoy either of them

inland lily
humble surge
#

I have a weird feeling about them, so i won't even bother

glacial wind
#

they sound awful to me

#

super chattery and sharp

glacial wind
#

then they made the pink version which is muted but sounds like an old man who lost his voice: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nKAAck5QSoM

#

so instead of being muted it's like some weird almost silent switch that still sounds not nice. At that stage just go get tecsee silent switch or similar

#

i just don't really understand the target crowd for them

glacial wind
#

yeah i don't know many people that thought taishan gt sounded nice, which is why i very much questioned all the japanese twitter that kept saying they were nice

humble surge
glacial wind
#

yeah right? they've somehow managed to make it not chattery, but in exchange it now just doesn't have any clear sound

#

it's like a weird muddy muffle

humble surge
#

Now ofcourse i said this before, i use headset, so it hardly matters anyway, but like i see no reason for me to buy a sample even for those.

#

Muddy is somehow an interestingly fitting association.

the link ends at html
You can safely delete the rest

#

You shouldn't order from there btw, AliExpress is extremely overpriced for these

#

either do their official site or TaoBao

it's ~600 CNY for 87 of them

They are in ukraine tho

shipping is rough

deft jolt
humble surge
#

And how does that make AliExpress a better choice exactly?

inland lily
#

Anything that isn't from China is very expensive to ship.

humble surge
#

Yeah but you are still paying more than you would save on the shipping

inland lily
humble surge
#

You don't want anything american, these are made in China

inland lily
humble surge
#

Now look at this and tell me what is the better deal, with shipping factored in

inland lily
humble surge
#

You do see the point here though right?
40$ cheaper and you get +21 pieces

#

so even if magically the shipping would be 40$, you still get more switches (realistically the shipping will be ~15-20$)

inland lily
humble surge
#

For your budget something like the MMD C1s or UR Ice Ultras from AliExpress would be more optimal.

#

Sorry i didn't see any acknowledgement just confusion, so i tried to explain in detail. Afterall it's so that you don't waste your money unnecessarily due to not enough information. No problem.

inland lily
humble surge
#

I'm not sure personally, perhaps others can advise!

inland lily

#

AliExpress on the service side is insane lately though, weekend packing and shipping and it leaves their airport in a mere 4 days after order. Holy.
(not to mention the last two orders recently, the plane itself arrives and you get a track update in under 12 hours)

inland lily
humble surge
#

That's not on the contrary, that's in agreement. I have the same experience, i used Ali for like 12+ years now, it has improved on the service side immensely!

inland lily
#

I misunderstood you

chilly mural
humble surge
#

Maybe, but i only use either Ali or Superbuy, the latter is still much slower, but then again i can choose from countless delivery lines and recently i have only been doing 2 different ones, maybe some others are faster.

#

Relatively speaking ofcourse, i don't mind in general, because the packages arrive in acceptable time, are not taxxed and are well tracked and protected.

# tropic urchin yeah its been my favorite for getting a marbly profile

Yeah I really like the sound & slight flex of it. I got warned by someone from wootings staff that POM may end up interfering with the accuracy of the PCB when I talked about it on this server (shortly after og 60he campaign was done) but honestly I have not noticed any issues since installing it, I think I ordered mine as a custom order from custom KBD before they offered it themselves

im currently using 205g0

upbeat delta
# graceful wasp But is any lube good?

Personally I think for stab wires, XHT-BDZ is kind of unbeatable, just kind of hard to apply because it's really thick stuff and can make your stabs feel sluggish if overdone

#

Tho I haven't tried wootings kit which includes molykote, may be easier to use

graceful wasp
#

Brauche halt Sachen von amazon

robust siren
#

you can get krytox 205g0 from amazon

It's not hard per se, Just annoying to find the right amount

graceful wasp
graceful wasp
#

But idk what the right amount is

robust siren
robust siren
upbeat delta
# graceful wasp I dont know nothing about lubing thats the thing

For the stabilizer housing, I used krytox 205g0, that stuff just gets lightly brushed into the housing of the stem & the outside of the sliding part of the stem (size 0 brush works well, I think there are "brushpens" with 205g0 available, those are probably the easiest to use)

graceful wasp
robust siren
#

did you buy it prebuilt?

graceful wasp
graceful wasp
#

Then i upgraded it a lil

#

New case switches

robust siren
#

okay so you have plate mount stabilizers
which should be easier to lube since you dont need to take apart the whole keyboard

#

you only need to remove the switches and then the stabilizers from the palte

upbeat delta
#

And for the contact area between the stab slider & wire, people have recommended permatex dielectric grease (which I personally don't enjoy that much) so I ended up with XHT-BDZ, which is really really thick stuff
Wootings stabilizer tuning kit comes with molykote, which I assume is somewhere between permatex and xht, so without having tried that, may be your best bet honestly

lyric nimbus
#

oh yeah

robust siren
lyric nimbus
#

are the WS flux deep clacks cheaper in korea or something

robust siren
upbeat delta
# graceful wasp So what do i need😭
  1. 205g0 -> either buy a small container + size 0 brush, or check for applicator pens (monacokeys has an applicator pen)
  2. Another, thicker lube + brush (size 0)

Honestly I trust wooting enough that I'd just recommend wootings own stabiliser tuning kit

graceful wasp
#

Or this?

upbeat delta
#

This should cover you for a while

#

You can also DM me if you want, I'm not an expert especially with stabs but I've have spent ungodly amount tuning and replacing the stabs on my 60he till I found something that actually works for me

# graceful wasp But way better?

if you're talking about switches, some need but most don't need lube since factory lube now and then is already great. But another thing to note, even if you do lube them, over time the more you type, the lube breaks in and spreads, it won't sound the same as if you just lubed them. So the main focus when lubing is to lube all spots that comes in contact with each other that targets smoothness. Stabs however your main focus is to give them a proper lube job to eliminate rattle and make sure its smooth.

fluid ravine

pliant tinsel
#

Im thinking about buying it but i really dont know what the difference is so far, could someone help me out?carstare

fluid ravine
#

i can help explain it but i just need the context of what youre trying to learn

#

totally wont drop an essay on you

pliant tinsel
#

I would love an Essaysmile

#

But id say in general, like what does it make better than the stock plate

#

Like sound, typing feel

fluid ravine
pliant tinsel
#

Yessir

fluid ravine
#

goctha

#

ima just basically tldr it

#

simple as possible

fluid ravine
#

would read this first

#

Typically PC plate and Steel is in two categories of material, PC in plastic which dampens almost high frequency noise which can sound "dead" most of the time, and Steel on the other hand which is stiff (stiffest plate of the bunch) that provides a really high metallic sound and also a pingy sound profile within the board.

pliant tinsel
#

Oohhh starting to get it

fluid ravine
pliant tinsel
#

Oh damn okay yea then nomou_shocked

#

I was close to getting it

fluid ravine
#

or friction pad

pliant tinsel
#

Pc plate

#

Currently got the stock steel one and the optimum case with a friction pad

fluid ravine
#

well any plate would be better than steel to be fr

pliant tinsel
#

Which one do you recommend?

#

Like thats good for both typing and gaming

fluid ravine
#

PC- Dead sounding
PP and POM- Low reverb but has a unique pop signature
FR4- Neutral
Aluminum- Moderate and Resonate
CF- Bright and Clacky
Steel- Loud and pingy

#

simple words on how i would describe every plate

tropic urchin
pliant tinsel
#

I heard quite alot about that FR4

tropic urchin
#

if you like the steel stiffness, but want something less metallic ping CF is nice

#

with better sound

fluid ravine
tropic urchin
fluid ravine
#

its pretty neutral over all

pliant tinsel
#

Thank you guys alot tho for helping me out🙏

fluid ravine
#

no problemo

pliant tinsel
#

Ohh forgot to add, i use ufos

fluid ravine
pliant tinsel
#

Id say thocky

fluid ravine
#

@tropic urchin you got that bub

tropic urchin
# pliant tinsel Id say thocky

you wont get thocky, but when i busted out my 80HE today, POM plate with poron foam is a nice combo for the alien technology

#

what imma be using on venom as well with them

pliant tinsel
fluid ravine
#

he's trying to go for a marbly sound sig

tropic urchin
#

ye

tropic urchin
fluid ravine
#

nor anything really

pliant tinsel
#

Alrighty

tropic urchin
#

all materials will be good for gaming depending on your preference

#

it all hinges on your stiffness preference

fluid ravine
#

if everything works and calibrates correctly than you're fine

#

wouldnt matter as well

tropic urchin
#

you're already using the stiffest plate you can get

#

so now its about fine tuning what you like/dont

fluid ravine
#

even if PP is stupid flexy, if the standoffs do keep it stable and grounded, then dont gotta worry

pliant tinsel
#

I see i see, damn didnt know theres that much stuff to mod😭

#

Thought its only switch keycaps and stabs and maybe foam and stuff

fluid ravine
#

less is more

pliant tinsel
#

But the plate stuff is new to me

fluid ravine
#

everything subjective

pliant tinsel
#

Yea dogekek

#

Soo next question, where do i get a 60he pom plate?carstare

fluid ravine
#

i've always been the typa guy that does the least stuff to his board to max out the boards build potential

tropic urchin
#

the big thing is you gotta try a few things to really pinpoint what you want

pliant tinsel

fluid ravine

this is gonna be my second keebmat

#

i just need a TKL size

lunar sand
#

i got one when the 80HE was launched ... but tbh ... it was mostly out of stock 😄

fluid ravine
#

and that discount SwitchyLaser

tropic urchin
#

the one thing that is kinda cool is the pop feel you get with POM

pliant tinsel
#

Pop?

tropic urchin
#

and since UFOs are decently poppy on their own, the combo is cool

fluid ravine
#

what's your leather mat dsize

tropic urchin
#

i got the uh

#

TKL (400mm x 150mm)

tropic urchin
#

still not perfectly marbly but its usuable now

#

kinda sucks i gotta use poron gasket since silicone isn't it

fluid ravine
#

can i get a pic

tropic urchin
#

yeah

fluid ravine
#

wonder what it would look like on my desk

#

with a 60

tropic urchin
#

What’s crazy is if you didn’t buy vella I would’ve never known the silver cf tech

fluid ravine
tropic urchin
#

the only issue is it leaves a hole in my 80HE lineup for the perfect setup which is unfortunate since i dont have anything yet to rival my lazurite build

i vaguely remember someone talking about wanting cerakeys, but didnt want to get them since they thought the legends might corrode with their acidic hand sweat, ive had my v3 set for about 2 months now with no issues or any kind of fading
