i have sum cookies +cream and passionfruit ice cream at home

cant fking wait

[sly palm]

Btw I wanted to thank ya all for teaching me stuff about modding. Gotta love lurking here

[robust siren]

can we shoot our reyna

i played another game after i ended stream and we won

[sly palm]

I am no lurker in Val tho

[ionic breach]

twitch?

drop da link

[sly palm]

W

[robust siren]

yeah, i was streaming in a vc here but i went to join a different vc

[fluid ravine]

creep

JKJK

[robust siren]

itd be self advertisement

[sly palm]

I fear this is against the rules

[ionic breach]

lol

username is fine

i think

[fluid ravine]

i dont see the problem with it

[ionic breach]

or just dm

rip

[fluid ravine]

[robust siren]

i dont think i saved stream vods

i barely know how to use obs

first 10 minutes of the stream was frozen 🔥

[fluid ravine]

i lost my obs settings

and im too lazy to even wanna set it up again

[ionic breach]

bruh obs is so gud

but game record is so bad

[fluid ravine]

ima ask cam for help later

[robust siren]

send me da settings too

[fluid ravine]

what kind of content

[robust siren]

im just streaming games once a year

[ionic breach]

just got a mic for the first time lol

[fluid ravine]

i mainly use obs for sound test recordings and all that bs

[robust siren]

[fluid ravine]

but i remember setting up for game streams as well

[ionic breach]

might record some game clips

[fluid ravine]

whatchu get

[ionic breach]

what p0nz rec

[tulip rapids]

ben & jerry half baked

[ionic breach]

fifine am8

[robust siren]

o ya send me that too

[fluid ravine]

will do

[robust siren]

[ionic breach]

no boom arm tho, cos my table has no way to clamp anything

[ionic breach]

me too lol

[fluid ravine]

alr lol

[ionic breach]

need the obs juice

[fluid ravine]

ah

[robust siren]

wait no boom arm for sound recording is gonna be deadly

[fluid ravine]

yeah...

[robust siren]

i dont think fifine has a shock absorber

[fluid ravine]

boom arm is a NEED

[ionic breach]

ill see how it goes

[fluid ravine]

yeah no shock mount

[robust siren]

even with boom arm, you can still hear it

[fluid ravine]

maybe depending on how well the boom arm doesn't pick up vibration it should be fine

i have a rode podmic and its kind of like the am8

(the mount)

only difference is just the metal body

[sly palm]

I am no good with money got myself a SM7B with all the things you need last month, ordered myself a 80HE this month

[fluid ravine]

gyad damn

sm7b would be a dreammm

or sm7db

[sly palm]

It is a dream

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine i do my keyboard sound tests on 2 folded deskpads in half, literally as much isolation you can have and i can still hear vibrations through the mic

[fluid ravine]

oof

mic fault

[robust siren]

am8 is like 50 bucks so

[fluid ravine]

my keebs vibrating like a bih on my desk

[sly palm]

Don't think it's worth the extra 100€ or so

[fluid ravine]

surprised my mic doesn't pick it up all that well

[fluid ravine]

true

blue yeti was my first mic

hated that thing

then i got a fifine k688

[robust siren]

will till you get into modding

[fluid ravine]

now im on rode podmic

[sly palm]

Thats a good one

[robust siren]

the hyperx quadcast was actually ok because it has a shock absorber

[fluid ravine]

keyboard and audiophile rabbit hole 🥀

[robust siren]

but its a shotgun mic

[sly palm]

I have to lurk a little longer first

[fluid ravine]

i njever liked the quadcast

never did never will

[buoyant snow]

what mods would you recommend for the v2

[robust siren]

switches

keycaps

[buoyant snow]

i got keycaps gmk

[robust siren]

possibly a different plate

[fluid ravine]

i gotta differentiate with swapping parts and "modding"

[buoyant snow]

what switches should i use

[young viper]

Please tell me you're using a cloud lifter on the sm7b🙏

[buoyant snow]

i'm down to also mod mod it

[fluid ravine]

dont really need

[tropic urchin]

It was designed to be better stock than all other Wooting keyboards, so unless you don’t fw FR4 plate I probably wouldn’t do too much past switches/plate

[fluid ravine]

v2 stock already has a shit ton of mods

basically all of the mods

only then you just gotta configure how you want it to be

[ionic breach]

id say the only v2 mods obvious are for aesthetics

[buoyant snow]

oh nice it's just solid?

[robust siren]

wait do you use pet film i forgor

[fluid ravine]

remove stuff, add stuff, basically making your own combo

[fluid ravine]

uh rn? in my v2 yea

its just in there

not very fond of it

dont really care about my v2 build rn

display piece

[robust siren]

pet film and the lube of doom and despair

[fluid ravine]

[sly palm]

Not yet, was thinking of getting one one day tho, i don't think it's a big diffrence tho

[tropic urchin]

Yeah, they built it around basically doing most of the modding already so then you get a better out of the box than original 60HE and 80HE

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin 80he sandwich pad is all silicone right?

[tropic urchin]

Stock yes

[fluid ravine]

how much gain it needs?

[tropic urchin]

But that’s original 80

[young viper]

What kind of preamp are you using?

[tropic urchin]

I hate it with all my heart

[robust siren]

is the tenz one poron alphas?

since you said original 80

[tropic urchin]

Id consult the magic chart

Or ping Sno

[young viper]

About 60-70db, that's why I love that they made the sm7db with the built in preamp because it makes it so people can actually use it without a full blown audio setup

[fluid ravine]

real

[sly palm]

I got myself the Stream deck+ with the xlr dock, it gives enough gain

[fluid ravine]

i agree with this

60-70db

[robust siren]

just silicone

[tropic urchin]

You, arc and aligner upped my based radar 🤓

[fluid ravine]

heheheheheh

[young viper]

I use the xlr dock also with my dx, puts out about 75 so you chillin

[fluid ravine]

[robust siren]

wait

that means ill have to open the plastic case

[tropic urchin]

Ew it is stock

[robust siren]

[robust siren]

at least its fr4 plate

[tropic urchin]

Enjoy the clips

[young viper]

I want those tenz switches

[robust siren]

will report back on how they feel

and sound

more importantly

[sly palm]

It works great for me tbh

[robust siren]

wait the tenz keycaps are oem profile?

fahhhh

[young viper]

Oh yeah when you enable phantom power you chillin

[robust siren]

bad news after bad news

[sly palm]

The sm7b actually doesn't need phantom power the sm7db would need it tho

[young viper]

I got it mixed up😭 sounded wrong as soon as I said it

[sly palm]

tbf before getting more into mics I also thought you would need phantom power

[young viper]

Yeah, I forgot it was meant for preamps, not higher gain setups

[sly palm]

And honestly the biggest buy point (after sound quality) for me was the way how clean this looks

[young viper]

It's a solid looking mic

[robust siren]

slapped switchy derpy sticker on my mic

best looking one in the server

[sly palm]

Does the keyboards come with stickers included

[robust siren]

idk about the 80s but the 60he v2 did

[sly palm]

You cookin

[buoyant snow]

what switches would be good for like a creamy key

[tropic urchin]

You won’t find any inherently creamy switches

If you want creamy you’ll have to relube your switches every couple days so they don’t break in

[fluid ravine]

foam

[tropic urchin]

If you put 5 foams in your board you might get close

[fluid ravine]

cream sound profile really consist full of foam and a like a full sounding switch really (nothing harsh)

[buoyant snow]

is the gravastar ufo a good switch to use for thocks

[magic marsh]

You should send a sound test frfr

[glacial wind]

yeah, check out the sound test database in faq channel

top 2 picks for that right now would be between ufo and keytok nova, you can listen to both and decide which you prefer

[broken notch]

Aaaaye

I put some on my duatcover

Dust*

[worn field]

Yep I’ll send it here once I return back to AU (overseas rn) 🙏

[tribal wraith]

would i be able to friction fit my 60hev2 onto a tray mount case

[ionic breach]

frog leggera mini hes asking

[fluid ravine]

some cases are compatible depending on their diameter

If you're talking about the Frog Mini Leggera, i doubt its big enough

[glacial wind]

it likely would have issues just like the updated leggera, but i don't have one to test

[fluid ravine]

i wouldnt even dare try to put mine in the G

i could get an idea of how it could fit but def wouldn't put it all the way in bc of the port

5his is as far it can go

port didnt scratch the case that's good

anyways friction fit is too big for the case

it was alrady hard inserting it in from the start, had to use a lil bit of force here and that's as much as it gets. Case is even compressing the silicone

[glacial wind]

leggera definitely doesn't fit, i had a try but it's way too tight

if you got it in somehow you'd never get it out lol

[fluid ravine]

yup

[glacial wind]

i got the cerakeys ceramic case on the way, curious to see if friction fit will work in that one

[fluid ravine]

ceramic case???

dafuq

what it look like?

[glacial wind]

https://www.cerakey.com/products/peak60-ceramic-keyboard-case-kit?srsltid=AfmBOooiDTOXk7hHlLE8U1eGUT6YChEXbKiu-MJqYqW4s_71818qb-Er

[cloud crane]

Actually plenty people already did ceramic case before cerakeys

[fluid ravine]

oh wow its not as expensive as i thought

[cloud crane]

Just not mass production like cerakeys

[glacial wind]

yeah it's quite reasonable price at that $100-110 mark

[fluid ravine]

we got dandruff keycaps and case, now we got crusty ones

[fringe quarry]

left usbc...

[fluid ravine]

i mean it is for GH60, can't do much abt that

[ionic breach]

i cant lie, i do like left usb c over middle

[glacial wind]

typing angle is decent too, it's 6 degrees

[fringe quarry]

no left usbc is a crime

[fluid ravine]

ion like left usb anymore

wait

[ionic breach]

unless its a really nice cable, its like staring in the middle of 2 monitor setups

[fluid ravine]

thoughts on right usb

[fringe quarry]

all my bros on center usbc

[ionic breach]

fk that shit

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[ionic breach]

left or center

[glacial wind]

oof my adobe cc sub ran out, i have to find a workaround until i get a new one lol

[fluid ravine]

ay dont diss the F1-8X now

[ionic breach]

center is honestly only gud with a nice silicone cable

imho

[fringe quarry]

wooting not paying for it?

[ionic breach]

wooting would go bankrupt

[glacial wind]

wooting would, but i already had one before so i didn't request one

[ionic breach]

ive moved a lot of adobe stuff to outside even tho i wasnt actually paying for adobe

[fringe quarry]

kinda an important cool for a content creator position 😅

[chilly mural]

Time to sail the high sea

[glacial wind]

plus i didn't use it all that much before because i was using affinity and final cut pro, so i only really needed it for small lightroom type stuff

[ionic breach]

generate the letter p

[fringe quarry]

ye ig get the smaller thing then

like prepaid photoshop + lightroom

[glacial wind]

i'm fairly sure wooting like every company just requests x half off the sub for y amount of keys every year lol

the adobe sub negotiation is so dumb

[ionic breach]

rawtherapees been lovely

capcut too

tho i need a workaround for capcut

[glacial wind]

adobe is mostly annoying because you usually only want 1-2 apps from them but you have to pay the combined fee which is like $1k or whatever a year for business licenses

always feels dumb

[ionic breach]

im happy their stock got cut in half

• what if we made out customers broke so they cannot afford us anymore

shareholders' brilliance

[glacial wind]

I’m curious to see if affinity now being free cuts into adobe market share even more

[chilly mural]

It's insane. I can legit buy final cut pro outright compared to getting monthly on adobe for 1-2 year.

[glacial wind]

The student bundle Apple does is real nice actually

It’s what like $200 for lifetime one off to all their apps when you buy a Mac

[chilly mural]

Kinda locked to mac after that, but at least it's one off.

[ionic breach]

its one of the reasons im usure on what laptop to get after my current dies

[glacial wind]

the one off pricing honestly super worth in long time if you're sticking to mac

[ionic breach]

i might be andriod + macbook

[glacial wind]

i paid for final cut pro like 12 years ago for like $200 or whatever it was and have had the free updates every year since then

[ionic breach]

either that or the xps cos i love them

[glacial wind]

but education pricing is so cheap, i think it's what Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Motion, Compressor, MainStage for $200, but i think they made it so you can only get it when you buy a new mac via their store now

since they have that subscription thing for $3 a month or whatever it is now

[cloud crane]

I hate subscriptions so much 😠

[chilly mural]

$30 a year. Very naisu. Heck, $80 a year in my area already makes it a no brainer for me. Plus I can buy it outright for $300 for logic pro.

[glacial wind]

aren't you buying a new mac though? Surely you just buy the $200 bundle with it if you're considering logic pro

then you get lifetime license to all the creator apps

[chilly mural]

Im not a student. Also don't have that option since im getting it from an official third party seller.

[glacial wind]

ahh

time to find a student friend lol

[chilly mural]

It's alright, I already got the macbook

[wicked vault]

Just finished lubing all my switched

Insane headache

[glacial wind]

but now you get satisfying evenly lubed switches

[chilly mural]

Time to sleep and get dat brain/muscle growth buff

[wicked vault]

Still gotta lube my stabilizers tomorrow

[glacial wind]

oh wait i got 3 months of adobe cc with my monitor i bought, i guess I have 3 more months before i request a sub from wooting lol

[twin iron]

Wooting v2

[fringe quarry]

cant wait for the wooting price increase in 3 months

[glacial wind]

"sorry we had to request more adobe cc licenses, and as you guys know adobe sucks" "valid, i accept your price increase"

[wicked vault]

wow those keycaps are sick

[prime orbit]

Might be dumb but mute deep clack is thockier than deep clack right

[fluid ravine]

its just more muted lol

doesn't mean its "thockier"

[prime orbit]

That’s what I was asking

I was just confused cuz muted has no sound

[fluid ravine]

it describes the characterstic of the sound

[prime orbit]

Hmm ok

Gotcha

[fluid ravine]

its like an adjective

a description of that sound

loud, muted, etc

[wicked vault]

honestly muted doesnt sound good if you have a good keyboard

[fluid ravine]

i have yet to wonder what people think of when they hear sudden buzzwords like thock, cream, marbly, and what not. How would they define it..

[wicked vault]

i feel like creamy and marbly is kinda self explanatory

[fluid ravine]

eh

I can't say so myself when reading peoples understanding or of waht they think when hearing sound tests that # themselves as thocky or creamy or wtv

[prime orbit]

Thock is bassy. Creamy is smoother neutral, marbly is higher pitched but still smooth. Clicky or clacky is loud pitched annoying trash. That’s what I think at least

[fluid ravine]

Now here's my understanding of each term (might be outdated for myself as well).
Thock- Full sounding with a low frequency wave pattern, provides a more "umph" sound profile from dense foam
Creamy (Based on what yall think)- Just like thock with the dense foam but more emphasis on the mids
Marbly- Similar to creamy, but even more emphasis to the mids and highs with the use of sound acoustic modifiers that accentuate these frequencies (might as well be clack for all the ones I heard over the years)
Clack- It's just clack lol, comes in the range of thin, full, sharp, loud, deep, low, or wtv
Clicky- Self explanatory

Its a bit technical yes but it just makes a bit more sense in my head

[prime orbit]

Mine is just dumber sounding!

About the same tho

[glacial wind]

what is moist though

[fluid ravine]

Crunch

[prime orbit]

When you dump honey on ur keeb

[fluid ravine]

why isn't that creamy then?

or sticky

[prime orbit]

Erm

Cuz

Yes

[fluid ravine]

see

thats how i feel about creamy and neutral

[prime orbit]

[fluid ravine]

as well to creamy and thock

I just describe the boards sound or atleast try to not use the buzzwords xd that's how i roll

foamy, bright, resonate, clean, etc

so then, what the hell are creamy switches

can i get some clam chowder switches

https://tenor.com/view/식품가공-gif-23447196

[chilly mural]

Maybe you can try using nature's sound rather than using sound frequency, I don't think boomers can understand what 'bassy' means.

[fluid ravine]

natures sound

[fluid ravine]

oh i gotchu

Using those words lead to a lot of misunderstanding imo

[slow storm]

i got my new keycaps, but i don't know how to open the box 😭

[frail hemlock]

✂️

[slow storm]

i figured out how. apparently, i had to slide the plastic cover up 😭

(wish this "sob" meta was over though, makes everyone look like a toddler)

[fringe quarry]

[broken notch]

Btw Embolia were you getting the different colored UFOs?

I'm so tempted by the pinks

[humble surge]

Yeah i'm buying Silvers

[broken notch]

Nice, keep us posted, I'm curious!

[humble surge]

It will take a while, CNY starting soon and i got fcked on my January paycheck. So probably March/April

[broken notch]

Ouch

[fringe quarry]

when nova recolor in black

[humble surge]

Never

[fringe quarry]

🤬

i lowkey could spray paint the switch housings

although that sounds risky and like a lot of work

[humble surge]

But like, whyyy?
The housing is really pleasing as it is, RGB shine through is quite nice stock

[fringe quarry]

why would i want RGB

im no razer gamer

[humble surge]

I mean just get a different switch, Nova is by design a "bit" transparent ^^

[slow storm]

nevermind, can't open it again. ggs

[cloud crane]

We don't need cash grab recolours

[regal patio]

I feel like a transparent switch is more of a pro than a con

It doesn't tint the rgb

And It can make it brighter

[humble surge]

I liked it, even though i don't personally care for RGB

[regal patio]

If you hate rgb turn it down/off

[humble surge]

I have 10 in they keyboard right now, rest are UFO, but you can see a distinct brightness difference.

[regal patio]

Which are Brighter?

How do you like the nova's?

How do they sound and feel

[humble surge]

Novas are ofcourse, it's almost fully transparent housing

I love them, basically a quieter and brighter UFO with same stability.

[fringe quarry]

if only there was enough options to choose from

[glacial wind]

ZOOM64 plate files for Wooting split spacebar ansi, split spacebar iso and regular spacebar iso.
File 1 = 60he v1/v2 iso (regular spacebar)
File 2 = 60he v2 ansi (split spacebar)
File 3 = 60he v2 iso (split spacebar)

[glacial wind]

Talked to meletrix/wuque folks, they are still ordering/figuring out the moq for the new split files since they only just got that from us the other week, so in meantime they've released the split ansi/split iso and non split iso files, so anyone who needs can custom order one from a custom plate maker

[fringe quarry]

who removed my reaction in #🪛│modding_faq 😭

censorship 🤬

[glacial wind]

troll reactions always get removed

[fringe quarry]

it wasnt troll..🧌

[glacial wind]

I need to make a separate section maybe in future for plate file stuff if more brands start doing custom configs like this

[broken notch]

Dumb question, as someone new to custom plates. How do you go about this for a split spacebar wooting plate for the zoom64? Step by step if you have the time and willingness to do so?

[glacial wind]

basically go to site that makes plates, they'll ask for the file, you give them file and the material you want

and that's basically it

[humble surge]

There are no dumb questions, the willingness to learn and improve is always admirable

[broken notch]

Any recommendations, not linked to Wooting, but you as an individual

As in places

Preferably EU based if at all

This is my very first time going custom plate and I'm a bit worried about dsoing something wrong/wrong seller

<@&1098943457654997093>

[humble surge]

https://klipy.com/gifs/tata-mpo

[broken notch]

Thank you mods

[glacial wind]

i know folks like hypekeyboards in the past, not sure about EU options though

[broken notch]

I will check them out, thank you for your input

[trail bane]

Keybox on ali

[broken notch]

Thank you

[glacial wind]

oh right keebox

they have a website too iirc, don't have to go via ali

[little glen]

I still need to get a split iso gt60 plate

[broken notch]

What's the difference between Laser and CNC?

[trail bane]

Even via Discord

[broken notch]

I know CNC is the cutting machine

That much I know

I just don't know the effective difference

[little glen]

Laser cant cut everything and it leaves different marks

[broken notch]

What's the personal preference of a few people here for a 60% plate?

MAterial wise

[little glen]

Which the marks are probably getting cleaned up so for you there shouldnt be much of a difference at all

[broken notch]

I own a steel one from the 60HE+ and the whatever is in the V2

[little glen]

Depends what sound you want and what switches you have

[broken notch]

I have UFOs I like the tockyness

[glacial wind]

i always like stiff so for me it's usually cf or aluminium

[little glen]

Alu if you want something brighter/more resonant, fr4 for balanced, pom or pp for deeper and less stiff

[fallen pecan]

me i'm partial to fr4 and cf

[little glen]

It also really depends on the switch tho

[broken notch]

I belive FR4 is in the V2 by default right now

[little glen]

Yes

[broken notch]

I do like my v2

I'm just preparing for the zoom64 case

[little glen]

If you have disposable income and time, you can try different plates to find one you like

[broken notch]

FR4 is fine with laser or would you personally opt for CNC?

[little glen]

I think a lot of people here like alu, cf or fr4 depending on the switch

[broken notch]

I'm not going to hold you to your opinion haha

[glacial wind]

isn't cnc normally based on complexity of the design too

[frail hemlock]

Laser used to weld back small defects, while cnc mill machines out the material

[broken notch]

Would you consider our wooting plate to be complex?

You know what, rather safe than sorry

It's only 10 USD and some time on top

I can't seem to download file 2

The v2 split spacebar ANSI

IS my discord being funky?

[frail hemlock]

Go for brass plate

[glacial wind]

works fine for me

[humble surge]

Vibranium best

[broken notch]

Hmmm

[glacial wind]

try direct off meletrix site

https://meletrix.com/products/gb-zoom64-add-ons

they put it there too

oh i think they labelled it wrong though lol

looking at the files it downloads vs the label

[broken notch]

Got it

[glacial wind]

they mixed up the iso and ansi split files, i'll tell them to swap the label

[humble surge]

March is so far 💀

[broken notch]

Had to use browser discord

Since I run a sorta bolted down private discord client

My gifs also don't autoplay :v

Mine don't even show up, it's all links

[broken notch]

Thank you for all your help everyone!

I believe I have it all set up ready to be paid

[glacial wind]

double check the file name before you submit just to make sure it's the right one lol

[broken notch]

Should be fine unless your file names were wrong

I took yours off of discord

ah then it's right if you used my one

"same structure as deep clack"

Does the encapsulated magnet improve the crunch?

[sly palm]

Do they keep me as awake as a Latte?

only if you keep cracking the stem with your teeth to get the magnet out

keeps your mouth busy

[little glen]

yeah i kinda wish there were more premium options but oh well

[forest ruin]

indeed. whats the difference between the Halo PC bottom options for the Holy80?

[little glen]

dunno, i dont have a holy80

[forest ruin]

fair enough lol

[stoic ocean]

The last one I think is a 4mm travel

[tropic urchin]

The only new case I can remember coming out was the Ego80 on Aliexpress

[hearty slate]

i found a very cool looking set of keycaps on aliexpress for 25$, are they really that bad? i was looking to change my stock keycaps

[broken notch]

Golden rule, you get what you pay for usually

[tropic urchin]

If they’re UV printed they’re probably going to be bad since those fade the quickest

[broken notch]

You can try and cut costs, but it could bite you in the butt

[tropic urchin]

But usually $25 keycaps tend to be clones if they’re trying to mimic other keycap sets

They’re fine to buy, but I would temper your expectations

[regal patio]

Thats why i dont buy things from Chinese sites

[tropic urchin]

If it says dyesub/double shot PBT/ABS and you really like the set, might as well give it a shot

[regal patio]

Tho i just bought keytok nova that are from china

[tropic urchin]

But if it has a lot of anime graphics on the keycaps then I would not have alot of expectations regarding it

[humble surge]

99% of what you buy is from china, so that was meaningless ^^

[tropic urchin]

Switches vs keycaps generally are a lil different in that regard, you’re more likely to find genuine switches vs a $60 GMK keycap set that isn’t cloned

[regal patio]

Hmm ok

[hearty slate]

they are pbt and it says they are printed with "thermal sublimation"

[tropic urchin]

Drop the link

[hearty slate]

don't judge me it looks cool to me https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005009236934201.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.65ef18fcG50tht&mp=1&pdp_npi=6%40dis!EUR!EUR 27.45!EUR 23.52!!EUR 19.51!!!%402103864c17700504684506979ec14b!12000048426600496!ct!IT!4773689105!!1!0!&gatewayAdapt=glo2ita

[tropic urchin]

Ah I think it is dyesub

Idk why they used thermal sublimation just to be confusing

[humble surge]

So to stack onto my already "awesome and lucky" month, UPS decided to be assholes, tl dr package was attempted to be delivered Friday 11:23AM, they never called or left a note (was at work so thought okay whatever), new attempt today, i was at home since i'm on Night shift, been up since 8AM, status changes to 2nd attempt failed at 3.39PM, no UPS truck crossed the street, no note or phone call.
The first time i experienced this with them, but quite annoying, wasting peoples time like that and weaseling out. (called them but the poor CS girl can't do much but schedule another delivery attempt, she couldn't even fetch the delivery guys phone number).
No stress :)

[regal patio]

[hearty slate]

so shoul i try to order them or not? i'm also buying mmd c1 switches i already tried them and they are great

[regal patio]

Happens

[ivory crag]

Hi guys.
Im about to buy first time wooting keyboard (actually PCB 60 he v2) from guy that will build it for me.
Could you please tell me recommendations list for best gaming perfomance (what i should build into): which case, switches, Stabilizers?

[hearty slate]

nothing changes just preference and looks

[ivory crag]

And how i can double check which PCB im using? Does it show in Wootility? Don't want to be scammed 😄 In my country we buy it from 3rd party service, not from official website

[tropic urchin]

I personally wouldn’t, however you’re not spending a lot and you seem to like the set, so might as well

Worst case you wind up getting new ones

[hearty slate]

should i stick to my stock keycaps? or maybe i can wait and buy a better set but the prices are outrageous

[tropic urchin]

They probably would be higher quality than $20 aliexpress anime keycaps, but they won’t be of similar quality as PBTFans/GMK

The unfortunate part of the hobby is keycap pricing but those generally have a lot of variables which contributes to the pricing

[hearty slate]

i think i will only buy the switches for now then i will do more research and buy a good set

[broken notch]

I don't understand the thought process of putting cheap keys and switches in your expensive keyboard

[tropic urchin]

I’d take a look at PBTFans/KeyKobo

[hearty slate]

not spending 200 dollars more maybe

[broken notch]

You're better off with stock at that point

[tropic urchin]

KeyKobo has good ABS sets that get close to GMK quality and PBTFans has good PBT sets from my experience

[broken notch]

You are actively making your keyboard worse imo

[hearty slate]

mmd c1 are amazing ngl 5x than stocks

[broken notch]

But, that's only my opinion

[hearty slate]

i also got the ws flux on my way to try them

[tropic urchin]

The pink are good, if you want lighter actuation, MMDs are pretty good (will be more wobbly than flux) but should serve you well

[hearty slate]

i will use mmd c1's for all the keyboard, if i like ws flux more i put them on wasd and my games hotkeys

also because they are transparent and with my ghost case they look awesome

and i like sound and feeling

[tropic urchin]

Might feel kinda weird with mismatching switches but should be fun experimenting

[zealous dove]

Yo chat I haven’t got the wooting yet, it’s on its way though and I’m curious as to what it’s like fresh out of the box. I’m a competitive player and don’t care much for looks or sounds but are there any recommendations on modding the keyboard. (I own a £20 kb that is like 12 years old so this is a big upgrade and I have no clue what newer kbs are like)

[glossy pagoda]

It's got that new keyboard smell

[little glen]

depends which one you're getting. if you are getting something other than the 60he v2, i would recommend getting some more stable switches

[zealous dove]

I’m getting the 60he v2 so it should be all good

[little glen]

then it is honestly ready to go out of the box for competitive play

most mods are about tweaking sound to be exactly how you like it and getting it to look good for your taste

if you dont really care about those things, you'll be fine with the stock experience

[tropic urchin]

Depending if you want a stiffer experience (feel when you’re pressing down on your switches), I’d get a different plate material or swap switches if you want better stability overall. Other than that you don’t really need to tweak it.

[little glen]

varedis did you get the ultem plate yet

[zealous dove]

Okay thanks guys I’ll leave it stock for a bit then return if I ever get into modding it!

[tropic urchin]

Think it’s arriving today

Haven’t been using the ol trusty 80 since moving Lazurite over to Vella

[stoic ocean]

@fluid ravine They'll receive it next week, so I'll get it during the holidays. 💀

[river bridge]

What’s the best key to get rn

[distant raven]

After weeks of using them on the 60HEV2 (split, of course), I've decided that the Lekker Tikken is my favorite, and will go onto my 80HE.

[river bridge]

I had one from unikeys but it’s now sold out and I’m looking for ones for my brother on his full size wooting

[little glen]

if you need switch recommendations check out this here: #🪛│modding_faq message

[river bridge]

Bet

[tropic urchin]

I anticipate I’ll probably have some thoughts on it in the coming days (closer to end of week)

[little glen]

[tropic urchin]

I got another plate from tom, POM for Vella build so I’m more looking forward to that

[little glen]

nice

[tropic urchin]

Hard to make venom marbly with FR4/Alu and CF with no plate foam with UFOs being louder than god on that build

[little glen]

the vella looks p cool tho i'm not a big CF guy personally

[tropic urchin]

If they didn’t have silver CF I wouldn’t have gotten it, but ever since I got the silver weave CF for 80HE, I’ve been obsessed with the look

[little glen]

you think the UFOs make getting to the sound you want more difficult

[tropic urchin]

Black CF doesn’t do it for me

[tropic urchin]

On 80HE it’s not hard

[distant raven]

I can't imagine using the UFO. I love the stabilty, but it's such a bad tactile experience.

[tropic urchin]

They are more loud than DCF, but overall fit the marbly aesthetic

[little glen]

i wanna try a bunch of different switches

[distant raven]

I have FR4 on my 80HE

[little glen]

but shipping to me is impossible

[tropic urchin]

Venom is just different entirely given the standoff changes (makes it brighter with no standoffs on PCB vs plate) and venom doesn’t come with plate foam

So it makes it harder to tune exactly vs Wooting

And gummy oring adds to it

But I’m very much not an experienced venom modder but that’s been my experience thus far

[tropic urchin]

If you get them for Wooting it shouldn’t be hard to tame the volume increase

The only switch I’d say that is neigh uncontrollable is OG flux

[little glen]

eh i think i'll rather get some other stuff atm

[tropic urchin]

Prob got some more inc in the coming months too

[little glen]

dcf, kailh ice creams and ttc horsies (clip clop)

[sacred elm]

What do you mean tactile?

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/what-do-you-mean-soldier-wondering-gif-13794012

[distant raven]

I'm using tactile in the context of the dictionary definition.

tactile: of or connected with the sense of touch.

[glacial wind]

we in that short wait now in between another wave of switches i think

[distant raven]

The UFO switches have a nasty key press feeling.

Lekker Tikken my favorite all around.

[tropic urchin]

Marbly pop church will be waiting for new contenders

[sacred elm]

If you mean tight feeling, it's basically gone in a week or two

They're noticeably smoother for me

[distant raven]

Ah

[little glen]

sno if you're bored you can try to find a way to get some switches shipped to me from those ae sellers that dont ship to germany

[humble surge]

I can say with complete honesty, i never had that feel some of you are describing about them.
And i use a full set since December 2nd.

[distant raven]

If the UFO smooths out after use, then the only downsides are price and not 4 mm.

[little glen]

also that its not viable to be opened

[glacial wind]

next wave of switches has some interesting things from what I know

[sacred elm]

It's noticeable if you press them offcenter

[glacial wind]

maybe new contender for best all-rounder may be coming

[humble surge]

I think i would have noticed, but i repeat, i never had anything like some of you are describing about them.

[tropic urchin]

I’m still waiting to see this tight press everyone keeps mentioning

[deft jolt]

any info we can know about?

[glacial wind]

i think you may just not be something who cares about tightness maybe

if you enjoy super tight switches you probably don't even notice it as a bad thing

[humble surge]

Ofcourse i do, but there was nothing negative about it

[glacial wind]

yeah so you just don't perceive it as bad

[sacred elm]

Flux feels better

UFO sounds better for me

[glacial wind]

can't say as it's not announced stuff yet

[tropic urchin]

The one thing I haven’t liked about UFOs is the fragility of the switch and stem

[glacial wind]

i don't know when these brands will announce them, but hearing and seeing some very interesting stuff

[humble surge]

Idk, i feel like thats being pushed into some bracket, but i'll just say our experiences seem to vastly differ at times, which is fine ofcourse.

[little glen]

i'll take that as an indication that i should wait a bit longer

[deft jolt]

will be waiting for more info

[humble surge]

I will always say how the personal experience is, especially if it was negative.

[little glen]

whatever happened to those springless switches

was that just a concept they showed off to look cool

[glacial wind]

all i can say is i think when people hear about it they're going to be really excited IF they live up to what i'm hearing

[little glen]

fiberglass bottom

bright clack flux

[sacred elm]

I put some OG Fluxes yesterday, I still love how they sound tbh

[little glen]

next switch trend: metal housings

[sacred elm]

Very clean clack

[little glen]

clean clack sounds good to me

[sacred elm]

Loud and clean yeah

[winter leaf]

hi2all

[little glen]

i like me a sharp and clean sound

[sacred elm]

I think it sounds cleaner than DCF

[little glen]

i really want to try a bunch of different switches but then i remember they cost money

😭

[chilly mural]

Hopefully the price is good

Might do a full keeb switch change on july if no budget for a new keeb

[glacial wind]

i do have a feeling price will not be good though lol. I think it's going to be expensive days

[uneven cradle]

[glacial wind]

but you guys been buying absurdly pricy switches lately already lol

[chilly mural]

*iem/headphone for me. (And figures).

[humble surge]

yeah, anything for the best hehh

[little glen]

yeah honestly the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger on the horses is the price

but thats just TTC i guess

[humble surge]

i don't see myself beat the 150$ mark anytime soon

[little glen]

all the HE switch manus know that people will pay extra

[uneven cradle]

If it cracks $0.6 per switch it's not getting purchased

[glacial wind]

all the stable switches have been in that $100-120 per 90 range lately, the brands knowing they can get away with the pricing i think nowadays

[humble surge]

Looks to be the case

[chilly mural]

With how cny is like 15 days away, maybe it'll be like 20-25 days later before da switches comes out. Or earlier.

[glacial wind]

yeah everything about to shut down

[chilly mural]

Got all the sheet i need for naow. So im good.

[humble surge]

11-12 days now they starting to shut things on 13th

[glacial wind]

i gotta put aside a bit of moneys too, because fx3 ii is coming this year so i need a camera upgrade at some point

[chilly mural]

Yeah!!! Better switch test video. Gotta get dat dust particle on video.

[little glen]

sony lenses on the shopping list too?

[uneven cradle]

I got too many expenses potentially coming up

[glacial wind]

honestly i have all the lenses i need for awhile. At best next year when I move I buy a 24-50 lens and keep the 24-70 lens permanently on my home recording setup

[little glen]

i had a bunch of unexpected expenses this month so i ended up spending more than i expected

[little glen]

main one being new glasses

[glacial wind]

the real expense will be if i move next year and rebuild my recording room, then have to buy new desks, some extra lights and mounts

[uneven cradle]

I'm finna buy that 16-50 2.8 for my camera, which is like a 24-75 in FF

[humble surge]

I had some scary big expenses just recently, then bombed with a very low january paycheck. Almost perfect before CNY ^^

[little glen]

wooting is sponsoring sno to move to a warehouse to keep all the switches on all the shelves

[glacial wind]

i actually do have that problem recently

[humble surge]

Dark February inc, but hopefully we back in business mid to late March

[glacial wind]

i bought a ton of small switch containers when i started with wooting, a giant closet full of them

but i ran out of them last month

[little glen]

[glacial wind]

so i have random switch deliveries just piling up in the corner right now without storage

[tulip rapids]

bite your bottom lip when you press down on the switch

[chilly mural]

Time to give some away

[little glen]

i need to get some switch containers

[glacial wind]

the thing that tilts me is whenever i buy more containers the previous containers always changed or are out of stock

so i just end up with slightly different containers and they don't all match size/fit

[little glen]

yeah i bought 2 and they are great but i cant seem to find them anymore

[humble surge]

Thats something i forgot to buy, switch containers, but honestly i couldn't really find any but a weird one on AliExpress i didn't like.

[glacial wind]

if i move i want to have the wall of switches

[little glen]

actually the ones i have are probably the same ones kinetic labs put their logo on to sell

[glacial wind]

just one entire wall of just really organised switch storage somehow

[little glen]

just need to find the original seller i guess

[chilly mural]

Ooo, irl physical version of switch recommendation list

With a nicely written note besides it

[glacial wind]

i'm getting old though because i'm actually considering just moving opposite the giant mall for convenience lol

that's the middle age korean mom ideal. Move opposite the giant korean mall because everything is right across the road

[uneven cradle]

Move next to a starfield

[glacial wind]

yeah the area i'm considering is literally next to a starfield

[ruby pond]

What’s the key switch people lean towards getting and sounds great for their keyboards. I know nothing and kinda want to be leaned into the direction? I’ve been looking into the lekker v2 and lekker tikkens. Is there better?

[chilly mural]

Ngl, many of the new apartment built in my place is kinda like that. A mall being under it or just 5 min walk away.

[glacial wind]

it is very convenient. Especially food and grocery stuff

[glacial wind]

check out this post: #🪛│modding_faq message

[uneven cradle]

Starfield different

[chilly mural]

I wish, at least for my place I just need 10 min walk for groceries. Not a mall, just a small super market nearby

[tulip rapids]

wow

[broken notch]

There is no "better", only different

[chilly mural]

Waow. Fear runs through me when you look down.

[tulip rapids]

5+ floor mall 👀

[ruby pond]

Yeah I did already😬 are the flux really good? Or should I get the lekker tikkens or the v2? I’m just kinda lost and want what most people get?

[broken notch]

We literally cannot give a unified conclusion

[glacial wind]

if you're buying a v2 my usual recommendation is buy tikkens with it then try other switches later if yo uwant

[broken notch]

Get the lekker tikken medium

[glacial wind]

mostly because tikkens are dirt cheap when buying a wooting

[ruby pond]

Okay I’ll do that. Thank yall

[glacial wind]

you'll never get tikkens for that cheap again unless you buy another wooting, since it's discounted just when you're buying a keyboard, so it's a great time to pick them up as an all-rounder switch

then if you really want it's easy to try other stuff later

[ruby pond]

Good to know, I appreciate it!

[regal patio]

I am wondering when HE switches will fix their sound

[broken notch]

I'm waiting for HE switches to be like electronic cars

With a speaker built in that plays a sound

[humble surge]

Some of them are already out of this world, what other "fix" do you need? 🤔

[regal patio]

They dont sound as good as mx

[broken notch]

Ufo ufo ufo ufo

[regal patio]

:(

I wonder how long it will take to ship my keytok nova's

[humble surge]

silber + pinku soon

[regal patio]

They havent left china

And its been a week

The shipping info said they departed from China

...

3 days ago

[humble surge]

You still got time, if it leaves before 11th or 12th you are gucci

[regal patio]

And they are still in china somehow

[glacial wind]

one of the upcoming switches i've seen coming has some internal re-designs from what i've seen. Maybe some sound improvements if it works

[regal patio]

Nice

[uneven cradle]

Gonna be tough I think to develop a sound like MX with no metal contact leaves and a magnet in the stem

[regal patio]

Or it might bring chatter like the new asus he switches

[regal patio]

Fake contact

[humble surge]

Or they could put little speakers in each switch

Anything to give the consumer the illusion they need

[broken notch]

What if they make switches with haptic feedback instead of sound

[regal patio]

Thats actually a cool idea

Imagine that

[glacial wind]

fully levitating switches from all 5 sides

[little glen]

oh shit there are ali sellers with dcf shipping to me now

[glacial wind]

magnets on all 5 sides to mag-lev style it

and no bottom out. the first truly silent switch

[broken notch]

https://media.tenor.com/iyA8uhzt144AAAAM/zap-celeste.gif

[little glen]

still unsure if i want to also get horses with this order

[humble surge]

the Green DCF does look like a vibe, imma need some

[broken notch]

Why stop there, I want custom hands

[glacial wind]

horses i just enjoy because it's been so long since we've seen anything slightly different in tone

[broken notch]

At some point in my life the clacks will come from my fingers anyway

[humble surge]

get 4 pieces to try, not a bad idea

[glacial wind]

it's just ufo and horses as the only ones lately that have offered a 'different' sound profile

[little glen]

nah if i get any i'll get a full set

[humble surge]

ahh okay

All in then

[little glen]

i have 2 boards to throw switches on anyway

[humble surge]

do it no ballz

[little glen]

so if i like both i'll decide which ones goes on the 80he for my main and which goes on the 60he v2 for the backup/travel board

[humble surge]

February will be such a cope holy, just remembered.

We have mandatory mask usage the whole month, just to promote more anti-social tendency, lovely.

[chilly mural]

Rest in peace. Just hope it exit before cny

[humble surge]

Very fitting for the upcoming Valentines too

[little glen]

i pulled the trigger, put in an order on 90 dcf, 90 horsies and some switch containers

[tropic urchin]

I think ultem just arrived

[little glen]

[tropic urchin]

Either that or the unmarked van went to the wrong place

Different package

[little glen]

@glacial wind these better be good or else

[uneven cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/prank-the-office-best-prank-ever-jim-gif-4905851

[tropic urchin]

@little glen it is here now tho

[tulip rapids]

personally i liked dcf

worth every cent

went from lekkers l60v1 - geon raws - owlabs to finally dcf

dcf so far been the switch i personally enjoy a lot

owlabs were to bright for my liking but typing on them was okay till you developed the crunch

[regal patio]

What is switch crunch?

[tulip rapids]

only one developed it though for having it for some months

[regal patio]

Is it like a weird sound

When you move your switch on the bottom out?

Like fully pressed down and wobbling the top

Is that crunch?

[analog prawn]

Anyone else try the Keytok nova?

[regal patio]

I just ordered them

[analog prawn]

Curious if anyone had issues with them yet

[regal patio]

They are taking forever to ship tho

[analog prawn]

Where did you order them from?

[regal patio]

Keytok

They are still in china

I ordered them using a 20% discount

[analog prawn]

Ohhhh nice

[regal patio]

there was code KEY20

[analog prawn]

Keybay also has them if you’re in NA but you won’t get the special packaging

But the price is a bit cheaper

[regal patio]

I heard the keytok nova's are probably the deepest sounding switch rn

[tulip rapids]

you can feel the crunch

[regal patio]

Maybe on the same level as UFO

But muted

And easy to open lol

[analog prawn]

Which one is the dcf?

[regal patio]

Yes my jade pro's have that then lol

[uneven cradle]

Not coming with the special packaging sounds like a bonus to me

[tulip rapids]

owlabs

only one of them developed it

[analog prawn]

Owlabs nova or ti?

[tulip rapids]

my dcf been perfect so far

[tulip rapids]

ti

[analog prawn]

Ah okay, yeah I do like the Ti

[sacred elm]

deep clacky flux

[regal patio]

WS

[analog prawn]

Ahhh thanks

Yeah I wasn’t a big fan of the deep clacky flux compared to the TTC flip

[regal patio]

You are getting the keytok nova's for a soundtest?

[analog prawn]

I am testing them at the moment for a review video yeah

But there was a concerning thing I noticed and curious if anyone had issues so far

[humble surge]

no issues, they are great

[regal patio]

Great, there hasn't been a lot of good sound test with those

[analog prawn]

Especially anyone who types very hard

[glacial wind]

no affiliate code plugging please folks, have to delete any messages that mention affiliate codes

[analog prawn]

The one I have opened so far the stem was held in by just lube

[regal patio]

Is key20 an affiliate code?

[analog prawn]

I think that’s just discount code from Keytok

[glacial wind]

pretty sure that's just a general code

[regal patio]

Alr

[regal patio]

Is that a good or bad thing

[analog prawn]

That’s the thing i don’t know of yet

[glacial wind]

just the personal codes we delete, because we don't want it to become like the HE discords that just have everyone plugging each others codes all over the place

[analog prawn]

Yes, my bad!

[glacial wind]

all good

[analog prawn]

I’m going to see if it falls off at all or anything during typing

[upbeat delta]

Raeds HE switches arrived

Surprisingly, lubing them made quite a big difference in how they feel

[analog prawn]

Yeah it’s quite nice, only concern was the fit in plates

[upbeat delta]

they def feel like they have a more loose fit than the gateron magnetic jades i had before

[analog prawn]

Sorry when I say stem I mean the pole and the stem

[uneven cradle]

Yeah they can have some issues with softer plates from what I've heard

[upbeat delta]

issues in what sense?

cuz im running a pom plate and using the friction fit pad, in a silicone case so probably worst case in terms of how soft the whole thing can be

[uneven cradle]

Like this

[analog prawn]

Like for example in my previous 60 with pc plate it would fall out while typing

[upbeat delta]

ahh i see

i mean theyre def easier to pull out than gaterons

but im not having this issue on my pom plate

[uneven cradle]

Yeah I don't have any issues with my FR4 plate or Alu plates

[upbeat delta]

lucky me then i guess idk

really happy i got them they make the board feel alot more interesting :D

[uneven cradle]

Definitely unique compared to most HE switches, wouldn't get them for performance though but makes a great office switch

[upbeat delta]

my office doesnt care about that luckily but if it did, these would help alot

for some reasonm a few keys make a clacking sound

mostly the ones in the middle of the board, basically the keys from D through to K

[analog prawn]

Try re fitting it or swapping the ones that are clacking with other ones and see if it still clacks

[upbeat delta]

tbh im not sure

both switches swapped changed in sound and dont sound like the ydid before

and they didnt swap sound wise, they both just changed

doesnt bother me too much tho

i am running the 60g domes tho and those feel noticeable heavier than the 60g lekker springs that are in my gaterons

[analog prawn]

With the tactile bump it could feel heavier. I also did hear they could be doing a v2

[cinder olive]

yall know if they are planning to add a metal base for the 100%

[austere creek]

we dont

[upbeat delta]

awesome, right after i receive and finish lubing mine

but nice to hear, i wonder what a v2 could offer

[analog prawn]

It doesn’t seem it’ll be any time quick

I only hear they were trying to get an interest check going on to see how many people would be interested in a v2

[stoic ocean]

wait u are the guy from youtube

[analog prawn]

Am I?

😮

[stoic ocean]

I love your videos, keep it up bro

[analog prawn]

Haha thank you very much

[lunar sand]

Weird question but here it goes. From all the case colors you had until now, what’s the safest one ?

Trying to decide on a gt80 color but I’m undecided.

I had black, silver, gray and purple ( and acrylic ) but I’m still not decided 😂

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin i dont have to deal with plastic clips on the tenz 80he
it uses screws

[tropic urchin]

I’m pretty sure all PCR cases has those clips

It’s case screws and the internal clip thingies

The only change made was just redesigning how the PCR looks iirc

[robust siren]

[robust siren]

clips and screws?

[tropic urchin]

@sacred elm can you confirm

I’m pretty sure that’s the case (no pun intended)

[robust siren]

[sacred elm]

Yes, clips and screws

Thank you sir

[robust siren]

[uneven cradle]

Silver, pretty good suit for most keycap sets tbh and I own too many of them

[robust siren]

why clips and screws and not just screws

[sacred elm]

I didn't use screws personally lol

just clipped them and that's it

GT80 at home

😭

[tropic urchin]

You should’ve bought the normal edition and then spring swapped the bikkens 🤓

[robust siren]

that wouldve costed more

and i dont get an fr4 plate

[tropic urchin]

With the better case*

Once the clips get mangled over time via wear and tear it’s gonna be a lot less fun

[robust siren]

fuck the clips

[robust siren]

ill buy gt80 later

should i get it in silver with red accent pieces

to match gt60

[tropic urchin]

Uh

[lyric nimbus]

do hall effect parts heat up enough to the point it could melt PLA?

[tropic urchin]

If you like the badge look maybe

[lyric nimbus]

my guess is no

[robust siren]

im looking at the new wooting vlog

and i wonder how the guy got 2 Ls on his 80he

[uneven cradle]

Wouldnt expect anything to get above 50°C

[lyric nimbus]

ok

[tropic urchin]

I’d make a joke but I will be in big trouble

[robust siren]

no bawls

dew it

[tropic urchin]

You’re right microcenter has a monopoly on Bawls

[tropic urchin]

Turing gets it

[cyan lark]

Can't believe Bawls is still a thing

I remember buying that stuff on clearance in college cause I was sure it was going away

[tropic urchin]

I wish it was more readily available but then again I make no effort to find it

[cyan lark]

I remember it being alright, but it's been mumble years since I've sipped it

[robust siren]

gold signature

i wonder whats the ratio of gold to silver

[cyan lark]

LOL is gold vs silver like a rare pokemon thing

[robust siren]

but its .5% to get a signature in the first place

[robust siren]

the shiny tenz80he

[cyan lark]

I know I'm an old but I can't think of a single person I'd go nuts for their signature on a kb

[robust siren]

i just like gambling with chances

100/20,000 are signed

and ?/100 are gold | ?/100 are silver

[cyan lark]

Sure

Something being rare doesn't make it desirable xD

[robust siren]

erm ackually

[cyan lark]

Son, I want you to understand why you can't go to college. Look at this eBay listing and tell me it wasn't worth.

[tropic urchin]

Tenz wearing a Royal oak while signing might be the biggest flex I’ve ever seen

[lunar sand]

Benficaaaaa ehehe

[robust siren]

idk tenz signature looks easy to replicate

[tropic urchin]

You’re right it has to be rare and look cool to be desirable

[robust siren]

its not even sold out yet

[austere creek]

how am i gonna get both lol

[loud zephyr]

ngl tenzz needs to work on his signature, he just de-aura'd that bord

[austere creek]

what

how is it wrapped

and confirmed signed

im confused

[robust siren]

[lunar sand]

Yeah I’m torn on silver or anodized gray

[robust siren]

the listing doesnt say its signed, thats just the keyboard in wrapped in clear plastic

[austere creek]

lol

why is it so expensive then

im so confused

[robust siren]

ebay things

[robust siren]

my thought is that he wants to sell one and make enough profit to get himself one

[austere creek]

oh they are reshipping?

[robust siren]

from what i see, yeah

Once the package arrives, I will immediately deliver to the post office.

[austere creek]

wtf

they banking on it being sold out already

[cyan lark]

Is this cool?

[austere creek]

i think the signature is the rare component

[cyan lark]

Ah. Board looks nice for sure, but that's not why people are charging over MSRP for it 🙂

[austere creek]

what is it then

[tropic urchin]

I’d argue no

Then again I’m a big critic of the collab entirely

[austere creek]

may i ask why?

[cyan lark]

I don't mind the collab really if it's to make a new style for the folks that don't wanna mod their board

But the signature part adds in gambling which I think is a bit abhorrent, personally.

[tropic urchin]

For me it’s the case, optimum pretty much got a unique case design and then tenz just used PCR and didn’t do much to it so it just feels like a missed opportunity to make it unique

Esp since 80HE already is very case limited due to the design

[cyan lark]

I know lots of brands do it and gambling in general has been more socialized lately, but it's still a vice and I think it shouldn't be promoted in products mostly aimed at teenagers steps down off soapbox

[austere creek]

hm i get that. i also asked why he didnt customize the preapplied tapemod or such and apparently (at least from how i understood it) he didnt want to customize more than what it is now

[robust siren]

from the vlog wooting posted, the collab was supposed to be for the 60he and then the 80he released

tenz also quit playing competitively

[austere creek]

i would have loved for some custom fullprint tapemod of valorant or some such

or a big ass UV print on the bottom of the case

i never even thought of that before

[lime yew]

Around 40/60 for gold/silver

[tropic urchin]

Missed opportunity as it just looks like a standard 80HE with a PBTfans crosshair clone keycaps

[lime yew]

Might be closer to 30/70, TenZ did how he felt in the moment. But definitely more silver than gold

[tropic urchin]

Vs optimum you can clearly see what it is and how it’s different from your standard 60HE

And I’d argue tenz is a bigger creator than optimum just from his pro league resume in Val

So it’s just a missed opportunity across the board but as an already 80HE owner I’m not the target audience for it

[robust siren]

so roughly .2% to get gold and .3% to get silver

[cyan lark]

Get 'em hooked early

[austere creek]

hm i do agree it might have been better to not mention signed units or show them during the videos

[robust siren]

i play gacha and 5 star characters are sub 1%

[austere creek]

and just let people discover it

[cyan lark]

And those are awful as well

[robust siren]

at least im f2p

[tropic urchin]

I think turing is just a hater

[tulip rapids]

one of them is in this wooting chat as we speak

[tropic urchin]

Just hasn’t hit the gamba big

[austere creek]

do tell who you want a signature from

ill try and make it happen... not
