You're right, where's that gamba image of giving up just before hitting it big

[austere creek]

And also that one guy that bought 5 tenz collabs

Very normal behavior

[robust siren]

you can only buy 2... from one account

https://tenor.com/view/no-i-don't-think-i-will-cap-avengers-marvel-gif-6420739801263939210

[robust siren]

[sacred elm]

how do you know

[austere creek]

[cyan lark]

I'll sign your board for free, send it on over. Gold, silver, whatever.

[robust siren]

im not rich enough for that

[cyan lark]

My penmanship is better than Tenz's

[austere creek]

[robust siren]

if i get a signed one ill cross it out and slap my own on

[robust siren]

is there a tenz role?

[austere creek]

yes

[tulip rapids]

Gimmie that Kim Jong un collab

[robust siren]

does it have a special color or is it like optimums

[austere creek]

same as optimum and owlab

[robust siren]

[robust siren]

i need to collect more roles

the owlabs one is uhhhh..... not for me

[sly palm]

I need the 80HE but got 0%

[robust siren]

oh wait

lemme get rid of batch roles

[robust siren]

i cant buy till tomorrow anyways

its cooked

[fluid ravine]

Dude

It's been like that since forever

Ur fine

The day I ordered mine there was still 2 left

And I guess til this day

No one has bought it

Cmonnnu know what to do

[robust siren]

wait why is it more

[fluid ravine]

It's the same price

Cus you have to choose a plate

Which is for free

But basically $10

If you think about it

Bowlkeys is $115 plus $20 with plate and wtv shipping

Approx like $150 total

[robust siren]

oh

[fluid ravine]

Minokeys is $125 for the case and plate

[robust siren]

holy fuh

[fluid ravine]

+$20 or so shipping

So also $150

[robust siren]

do i get 80he or the bella

[fluid ravine]

@tropic urchin

[robust siren]

WHAT THE FUCK

[fluid ravine]

Yeah exactly

But if you check bowlkeys the total should be the same anyways

Check

[robust siren]

fahhhhhhhhhh

[fluid ravine]

80HE doesn’t have enough cases

GT80 is gud but idk

The silicone gasket also rubs me the wrong way

[robust siren]

id only consider the gt80

[tropic urchin]

You can use poron but it moves EVERYWHERE

pmo

And is one of the reasons why I swapped to Bella

[calm pulsar]

look at this 60% elitist

i cut silicone alphas

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-fly-uh-um-well-i-dont-know-what-to-say-gif-4132049

[tropic urchin]

I want numbers too but it would probably compromise the integrity a bit with all the cutting

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine shipping costs giving me flashbacks to paying for gt-60

[tropic urchin]

I didn’t like 60% until Vella which is the funny part

[fluid ravine]

Lmao

[tropic urchin]

Now I’m a fraud

🥀

[fluid ravine]

I did that

[calm pulsar]

I gotta go back to the 60% roots

[robust siren]

why the FUH is vella limited

mm i wonder how kois sound in 80he actually

since it wont have pet film

and i cannot be assed to take the film off rakka

oh yeah i also have some extra stabilizer pads

i guess i should install those when im taking apart the 80he to cut alphas

[cloud crane]

Coz they only did 500 units to see if it would sell

If it does well they might do a R2

[robust siren]

pretty obvious that its selling

[cloud crane]

Yeah, they're taking notes

[robust siren]

well if they do an r2 ill get it

damn finally assembly everything together tomorrow

going to be fun

[young viper]

I need to figure out how to work on my PC, because I have a ultrawide it pisses off obs lol

[tropic urchin]

@little glen ultem is intriguing

[thorn zealot]

Stop

I just got paid too

I don’t want to see another kb I want

[little glen]

Interesting

How would you describe it

[tropic urchin]

I’m using double poron and tape mod, and it’s almost canonically thocky with salt lake

Very ugly plate but sound is nice

The deepness doesn’t come across but it’s a fun feel

I think ultem might’ve solved PBT’s marbly problem

It’s now passable

No longer sounds like a muddy mess

[robust siren]

whats this?

[little glen]

That does sound interesting

How is the stiffness

[cloud crane]

Ultem/PEI is stiff for a plastic plate

But more expensive 🤔

Also about ABS 👀

[tropic urchin]

For feel i think its almost like a POM adjacent plate, however with PBT it has really dropped the pitch, but maybe it could just be an overkill on poron foam im using in the current build

If anything it kinda sounds like a lower pitched MX board (closest I can remember to this archetype would be the NX Snow switches I had in my ROG Azoth but thats probably cope)

That’s really unfortunate even ABS is just overall better for marbly than PBT

[lyric nimbus]

ok

[tropic urchin]

UFOs on ultem feel like an LMG @little glen

That’s very interesting

[lyric nimbus]

i need to hog the 3d printers at the library where my university is in for 30 hours straight for the case

[thorn zealot]

Sounds nice but looks sooo chopped

Who would even rec that plate

[tropic urchin]

I swear it oxidizes or some shit

Legit turned black almost instantly

[thorn zealot]

Oh so how my friend turned my beige keycaps black

[tropic urchin]

Don’t compare me to that acidic fiend

I don’t got hands like that 😭

[cloud crane]

PEI is meme plate fr

[thorn zealot]

Don’t talk shit abt my friend

[uneven cradle]

Sounds like they are similar to PP in that sounds more like Alu but with the softer feeling of a plastic plate

[thorn zealot]

I gave em a wooting and he finally got gold in val

The sky’s the limit

[tropic urchin]

Fiend was maybe too much, I take it back

But his hands got them crazy acidic ph level

My white keycaps are still pristine

[thorn zealot]

Hate to say it but his feet get sweaty too

When he wears socks there’s footprints on the floors

[tropic urchin]

I might have to buy ultem for venom depending on how POM ends up holding up

i dont like my plastic plate grind, but the sound is starting to be nice again

[thorn zealot]

I want to try a half plate someday

[tropic urchin]

like aligner's 50/50 plate?

[thorn zealot]

Like pp/pom alphas with alu mods

[thorn zealot]

Idk how he did it

[tropic urchin]

I think he just used the files for the alphas and the mod keys separately and commissioned it like that would be my guess bc it was all separate pieces

yeah i need that POM plate on god, venom sounds like bone on bone contact without plate foam

[thorn zealot]

I need these new layouts wooting, split space not enough

[cloud crane]

Need that wooting alice 🗣️ 🔥

[minor lance]

Does anyone know how grouding works? I have a iso uk split space bar wooting60 v2, and i wanna get the zoom64 case but they dont support the right plate for the layout i have. Ive heard you can friction fit it but i have no idea how to know if it would be grounded or not. Any help would be appreciated.

[ionic breach]

zoom64 is gasket mounted no?

probably just dont friction mount it

[autumn wraith]

Is there a market here?

[minor lance]

Yeah it is but they dont supply the plate i need for the gasket mount

So i cant gasket mount it and you cant tray mount it

Which means the only thing i have left is friction fit and ive seen one video where someone does it but i cant tell if its safe or not

[ionic breach]

they do no?

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

[minor lance]

They only supply ansi layout, they have the files for the others

[young viper]

in order to ground it you can either do it the easy way which is just to find a screw hole on the pcb which lines up with the case and make sure they're connected the whole time. or you can get a grounding sponge, but those are kind of a pain to use

[ionic breach]

just get someone to make it

[minor lance]

Do you know any places i can do that?

[ionic breach]

they also sell it themselves

i just sent the link

oh wait thats ansi only

https://hypekeyboards.ca/products/custom-plate-cutting-service

heres one for example

[young viper]

ooooo

[tropic urchin]

Tom getting hella work this week

[ionic breach]

[young viper]

eek like 60 bucks for a alu plate damn

[tropic urchin]

After I just got em to make a new POM plate

I’ve become a degenerate plate hoarder atp

[minor lance]

Yikes

Shippings 55 as it is

For the case

Might have to pass

Thanks for answering my questions tho

I appreciate it

[ionic breach]

i think you would need to screw in a screw or get some metal contact with a metal foam for grounding

but u dont need to ground a non metal case

[minor lance]

I dont think it has screw holes so thats the issue

Sometimes i wish i just got an ansi even tho im from the uk so iso is what im familiar with

So many more options

[wicked vault]

How do you guys lube your stabilizers

And do you put the wire on the stabilizer housing before putting it on the pcb or after screwing it in

[young viper]

lube the stab ends, coat the inside of the housing and assemble. then screw it in

should be fully lubed and built before being installed

[wicked vault]

The stab ends being the wires?

[young viper]

yes the wire ends, my bad, english no worky rn

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin getting soju white stripe tomorrow

can finally do full white top row

[glacial wind]

try keebox, they might be cheaper

[broken notch]

Keebox is 36 usd all in with insurance for fr4

[fluid ravine]

https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8 basically exactly this

light coat of krytox on both bottom housing wall and stem wall
Hefty amount of krytox on the wire (cover the wire in lube to the point where i dont see the wire) or go in with a light to medium coat of dielectric grease.

[fluid ravine]

lessgooo

[fluid ravine]

update on the full board sound test?

[wicked vault]

oh welp i didnt lube the stems, ig the housing lube going to have to do

[fluid ravine]

itll be fine ig

shouldnt be a big deal at all

you can lift up the stem and like do one or two strokes and call it done

[wicked vault]

do i need to use washers with the wooting 60he pcb

[fluid ravine]

for stabs?

[wicked vault]

ye

[fluid ravine]

you dont have to but you should

[wicked vault]

oh

the ones the stabilizers provided kinda look like rubber rings

[young viper]

What stab kit you using?

[wicked vault]

swag key knight

[young viper]

I have the same ones on my board. My first try I used them, but by the second time I messed with my stabs I removed them, they're such a flimsy cardboard ish material that there's literally no difference if you use it not

[wicked vault]

ummmm

so dont use the washers?

[young viper]

Doesn't matter, they're just more hassle than what they're worth in my opinion

[fringe quarry]

pcb / key snap is interesting

definitely changes the sound

[cloud crane]

🗣️ 🔥

[fringe quarry]

why is the included leggera oring even so squishy

[fluid ravine]

i mean 40a is pretty balanced

[broken notch]

Zoom64 orders are live btw

[fluid ravine]

day 3 of feburary, waiting on tkl felts keebmat

[fringe quarry]

the difference to the mid snap options is pretty big

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

wdym

[fringe quarry]

in terms of squishyness

[fluid ravine]

you find keysnap/pcbsnap more bouncier?

or smth

[fringe quarry]

no

opposite

[fluid ravine]

oh stiffer

i mean yeah that makes sense

its a whole block of silicone or FKM

oring has options in stiffness as well
just find that pcbsnaps and keysnaps are more versatile with more cases and boards

i think the only one thing i may not potentially like about them is if they make the pcb sits really high within the case

otherwise i think its a great alternative of a friction/gummy oring mount

pretty neat

[fringe quarry]

you can but

[broken notch]

@glacial wind for my 60he v2 with custom printed plate (you provided), do I go for which version of the case kit? ZOOM64 Case(GH60 HE/Flux60 HE)

[fringe quarry]

but keysnap or low pcbsnap wil be same height basically as oring

[broken notch]

Gh60 or flux60?

https://meletrix.com/products/zoom64-case-kit-mystic-ink?variant=44905177448639

[fluid ravine]

basically

going based off of some of the cases i've seen already with them that potentially made the pcb sit higher

not just saying for gummy mount cases only

[fringe quarry]

depends on how you mount them ig

[fluid ravine]

no its just depends on the cases' chamber

depending on how little space there is

i think the whole mounting options of where you can put them is just perfectly fine

[fringe quarry]

you can kinda decide how high with how you mount them too

[fluid ravine]

dead ah? how does it work

[fringe quarry]

for pcb mount you can decide if you want them on the oring standoff things or just case bottom

not sure if keysnap is higher or lower

[fluid ravine]

i thought it'd be the same height with how they're mounted

they're just placed differently

pcbsnap placed at the case posts

and keysnap is placed elsewhere, basically great for non gummy mount cases

but otherwise they should be grounded at the same height without the difference of height adjustment

[fringe quarry]

one method

[fluid ravine]

[fringe quarry]

the maker also shows using pcb snap more like keysnap

could be lower then keysnap then but idk

i orderd keysnap and got pcbsnap from some store T.T

[fluid ravine]

well i dont see the difference really to be honest
like one is a full block and one has post cutouts, both can be used either ways really except for the keysnaps where it needs to avoid the case posts.

but i am curious if they both provide different sound based on their placements and mold

[fluid ravine]

o nice

[fringe quarry]

doesnt include the second method for pcbsnap ig

[fluid ravine]

damn

[fringe quarry]

switches arriving today

[fluid ravine]

whachu get

[fringe quarry]

should i install them on the venom knowing that the rakka arrives this week too

[fringe quarry]

nova

[fluid ravine]

wait which ones are the nova

[fringe quarry]

the clear ones

that are muted

with a lot of packaging

[glacial wind]

gh60, although you wouldn't be really using the plate either way if you're ordering the separate plate made

[broken notch]

Ah, is that the only difference?

Great, thanks again!

[glacial wind]

yeah you're basically paying for the special plate

[broken notch]

I don't see a plateless-option unfortunately

[glacial wind]

yeah dont think they're doing a case only no plate option

[regal patio]

My wooting arrived today

Sadly the switches are ordered from China so it's taking forever to ship them

[lunar sand]

noice! 🙂 i finally ordered at GT80 yesterday anodized gray ... lets see if its here before weekend.

[glacial wind]

man soft studio lighting is so nice. If i ever build a house it'll just be pure indirect studio lighting for every room

everything is so pretty with diffused light

[broken notch]

Hehe

You know what we need

More diffused diffuser inserts for the ufos

They're not quite diffused enough for me

[sacred elm]

Or just don't use RGB

[humble surge]

supply/resupply is here

[tropic urchin]

Blasphemous

[broken notch]

What are thooooose

[humble surge]

Magmas, Pink Lotus, Snows and more Novas

[broken notch]

Magmas I'm curious about

I'm just worrie about the rgb

[upbeat delta]

Btw people, have y'all used xht bdz lube for stabilisers before?
Cuz I started with permatex and quickly noticed I wasn't happy with it, then used xht for a while and now i think I've gone full crazy because I mixed both together and I kinda like how easy the result is to work with

[glacial wind]

I use xht bdz as my main lube for older stabs yeah

I like it, although it’s becoming less used now though since stuff like yikb typeplus just uses 205g0

[broken notch]

Is it weird I'm debating not getting the zoom64 due to lack of a ribbon loop

The ribbon is just so...wooting...for me

[upbeat delta]

Had no idea about these, thanks 🙌🏼 my 60he is plate only but I might get the ANSI split PCB at some point

[south swallow]

@glacial wind I found the carbon split v2 plate on AliExpress, by searching the same as what was on Taobao. They only advertise full size but I asked the seller if they are able to do the split and they said they could, I just ordered it so I will update when it arrives. Got it from this link:
https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ex9MM8c

[broken notch]

Oh nice

Keep us posted I'm curious about that

[glacial wind]

Wonder if it’s the screw in or plate mount version though

[sacred elm]

It's plate mount

I asked them two days ago

[tropic urchin]

I sent you some updates on ultem plate

[oak jewel]

Mine's being held by customs, should get it tomorrow

[swift folio]

[humble surge]

It is time

[south swallow]

they ask if you want to specify plate or pcb, i asked for pcb stabs

[south swallow]

That seller offers both options

[glacial wind]

ah interesting. So you have to message them to make sure you get the right version

[regal patio]

Woah

Can you record a sound test?

I just over lubed my stabs

But I really enjoy the feel of that

Looks like a low profile switch lol

From this angle

And ofc that switch is now impossible to open😭

The trend that UFO's started maybe

[humble surge]

Anti social switches

[south swallow]

let us know and send pics when you get it please :)

[lunar sand]

Soooo you got more Nova's, the last time we talked about them you said "not worth the price" ... what's your take now? 😄

[humble surge]

Still not worth the price :)

[lunar sand]

yeah but basically you liked them right? i mean i'm now testing the unionwell ultra pro+ gti, amg, motorsport 😄 also a good one

[humble surge]

I like them very much

[lunar sand]

The UFOs are the UFOs ...

really like them, but super super curious on the NOVAs

because of how different they sound

[hoary rapids]

hey guys, i tape modded my wooting 80he pcr case, should i have left the sticky plate on the pcb after i did the tape mod or is it good that i didnt put it back on? (sry for my english)

[tropic urchin]

That’s the stock partial tape mod, I imagine keeping it on and taping over it would end up ruining/ripping it up if you wanted to reuse it at a later date

[hoary rapids]

so its good that i left it out now?

and thx btw

[little glen]

Yeah you can leave it off

My 80he has no tape

[austere creek]

my 80he has no 80he

[lyric nimbus]

@austere creek speaking of which

when i tapemod 2he

what do i need to cut

[austere creek]

nothing

just tape over

[lyric nimbus]

oh ok

[austere creek]

you could precut the hole for the screws

[lyric nimbus]

just cut daughterboard connection/screwholes and call it a day?

[austere creek]

but you can also not give a damn and screw throught he tape

pretty much

[lyric nimbus]

ok

[hoary rapids]

u need to leave out a small gap in the tape so u can plug in the cable later

[lyric nimbus]

im gonna be hogging the 3d printer at the city library at my university for

30 hours straight soon

i kinda feel bad because little kids cant print whatever little trinkets they wanna print

[austere creek]

its fine theyll forget once they stand up due to the tiktik brainrot

idk how much the project totaled to so far

$70 for plate
$50 for accessories necessary + shipping
$30 for filament

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin no soju stripes today, friend left it at home

[chilly mural]

there's always tomorrow

[robust siren]

i dont have classes tomorrow, but thursday

anyways i paid him for the tenz80he

[fringe quarry]

man they weren't joking

all this package contains is 70 switches

😭

[chilly mural]

I would've believe you if you said that you bought a full sized keeb lmao

[fringe quarry]

im pretty sure frog leggera + venom together came in a smaller package

It also weighs 1.5kg somehow

[robust siren]

just switches?

or full rakka module

the box is decently heavy

[fringe quarry]

just switches

every single switches comes in a small plastic box

that you could probably stand on

[chilly mural]

Waow

[robust siren]

pov: all the paper straws led to this

fuck paper straws

[fringe quarry]

like why

[chilly mural]

40% more switches for the same amount of switches

[fringe quarry]

atleast i got that 20% discount

[oak jewel]

Criminal

[fringe quarry]

Last atlas shipping update was on friday

wooting be paying postnl to delay all non wootings

[robust siren]

60% of the cost goes into the containers

[robust siren]

what switches should i use in the 80he

we got: DCF, Mobius (Flux og recolor), AGS Radiants

or do i keep the tenztons

[chilly mural]

Tenztons

Switch it up a little

[robust siren]

im still gonna foam alphas

[urban sonnet]

May I use Nyfter keycaps for my wooting 60 he v2?

[robust siren]

as long as they have the mx-style stems (+), then yes

[stoic ocean]

Do you have a link ? Pls

[acoustic galleon]

Hi someone have somes ideas to find pinks keycaps can work with the wooting 60he+ ? I have no idea on which sellers I can find.

[regal patio]

Really eco friendly!

[bleak kelp]

"I'm planning to swap the Wooting 60HE V2 module into a Tofu60 case using Gateron Jade/Ruby switches. I have two questions:

1. Should I re-mod the stabilizers, or can I just stick with the stock ones that came with the module?
2. Will changing to these switches/case cause any issues with the travel distance parameters?"

[glacial wind]

only re-lube stabilizers if you have issues with them, otherwise leave them. both those switches are in our switch selector so will have no issues

[bleak kelp]

"I'm modding my Wooting 60HE+. Do you guys recommend swapping out the stock stabs, or are they good enough?"

[regal patio]

If you lube them they are great

[tulip rapids]

"stock stabs are fine"

[bleak kelp]

Thanks

[bleak kelp]

I'm planning to install Jade Pro switches on my Wooting 60HE+. Since these have a shorter travel, will the stock stabilizers (especially the spacebar) still function properly, or will I run into travel issues?

[robust siren]

they'll work but you might get wobble in those keys, you can get geon spacers to fix that issue if you come across it

[tulip rapids]

https://geon.works/products/geon-stem-spacer

you put these on the stock stabs

[little glen]

cant wait for my packages

[tulip rapids]

wheres their last known location at?

i'll run on all fours and chase them down

[little glen]

idek if they shipped yet

i need AE to send the shit over already

[bleak kelp]

Oh thanks bro ❤️

[bleak kelp]

Huge thanks for the help! Sending love from Vietnam!

Have you guys got your hands on the 60HE V2? I'll probably just buy the module to mod into a Tofu60 case, but that's a plan for early 2027 🥺.

[robust siren]

a ton of people got the 60he v2
ahem https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1449511482915033120

the tofu60 is a great budget aluminum case

with the brass weight, its one of the heaviest ive used tbh

[bleak kelp]

I actually wanted to get the pre-built one so I wouldn't have to worry about modding, but the import taxes and costs in my country are super high. So, I have to start with just the module and upgrade it piece by piece over time 🥺.

[robust siren]

im sure thats what a lot of us do

i started with the 60he+ and started modding it over time

got the v2 and now on a different keyboard

[bleak kelp]

Wow, that's awesome! Congrats!

[bleak kelp]

Any ETA on when Wootility v5.3 will be officially released?

[robust siren]

im not sure but you can always check #📰│wootility_updates

[bleak kelp]

Ok bro

[near narwhal]

anyone recommend a place to get keycaps?

[tulip rapids]

oh hello lee

uhh hello..😭

[tulip rapids]

here you go lee

[near narwhal]

thanks!

[lyric nimbus]

i figured out how to make the back esign nicer

another brass install

[fringe quarry]

how about a big "TOASTY" text

[autumn temple]

How much better are the Lekker v2'S compared to the V1's in terms of sound do the V2 sound much better than the V1's?

[glass girder]

hey guys! I have the 80he tenz edition, I dont think ill have an issue moving it over to kbdfan's gt 80 case right?

[lyric nimbus]

arent lekker v1s like

dead dead

[autumn temple]

Yeah im just debating if I should buy the V2's cause I want a soft and quiet sounding switch what do you think?

[lyric nimbus]

if ur buying switches get something like tikkens

[autumn temple]

Have tikkens dont like them

[lyric nimbus]

uhh

check out other switches in #🪛│modding_faq

[rugged iris]

Is that for the Wooting case itself? Or are you making a new one?

[lyric nimbus]

wooting 2he

[robust siren]

v2 should be better than v1 but not nearly as good as tikkens in terms of stability

[lyric nimbus]

there are no aftermarket cases so i have to design it myself

[autumn temple]

Im talking more about for sound

[rugged iris]

Nice one

[robust siren]

i dont have some l60s but i have l45s

[young viper]

No issues, should be fine. I'd also say to check out cases like the ego80 which are similar but cheaper sometimes

[robust siren]

uhh i can compare them to what i have installed rn (kois)

[autumn temple]

How are V2's in terms of sound

[robust siren]

personally i dont like them

[young viper]

Poor

[robust siren]

subpar

[lyric nimbus]

if u dont like tikkens

[robust siren]

i only have the 100g tikkens rn

[lyric nimbus]

consider other switches than the lekkers

[autumn temple]

They sound good in the sound test here https://wooting.io/wooting-80he?srsltid=AfmBOoo8-hLnxz8Ol1PzjGSJGsltkRMlI1JgrHrHwH-ryVz7yla1Ooq2

They sound good in the 80HE

[little glen]

just trust everyone that tells you not to buy them

https://link.wooting.io/soundtests look at the sound tests here

[lyric nimbus]

do keep in mind

sound tests will be inaccurate to some degree

[little glen]

lekker v1/v2 are not good and if you want something quieter or different sound from tikkens then there are other options

[robust siren]

imo they sound like a roblox bubble popping sound
s -> kois
d -> lekker v2 (or 1.5, 95% similar) l45
f -> tikken 100g

[little glen]

yeah dont 100% believe sound tests and dont compare soundtests from different people with one another

the tests on the wooting soundtest database are all from one guy and with proper well thought out methodology

[autumn temple]

But if you are not to trust sound tests then how are you supposed to know what switches to get based on sound?

[autumn temple]

What plate are you using in here?

[robust siren]

fr4

[little glen]

use a known sound (tikken in your case) and listen to that sound test from that person

then go from there

[robust siren]

same plate materal the v2 ships with

[little glen]

you can hear the wobble on those lekker v2s

😭

[robust siren]

i do gotta say

these koi switches are so good

[fluid ravine]

[robust siren]

summoned thockson with kois

[fluid ravine]

First thing I see when I leave school

[robust siren]

[fluid ravine]

[lyric nimbus]

once i get the case made

[autumn temple]

I just installed the POM plate in my V2

[fluid ravine]

[lyric nimbus]

im gonna go from owlabs -> deep clack

[little glen]

cannot wait for my switches

[robust siren]

i need to get custom plates cut

i want carbon fiber rakka universal plates

[autumn temple]

@robust siren do you keep the PET flm on

Like stock everything

[robust siren]

yeah

i am currently using the rakka60 atlas which is slightly different but it shouldnt effect the overall sound signature too much

[pulsar obsidian]

Hello there, anyone done side printed keycaps on 80he? If so how did it turn out and also got any specific keycap brands to go for?

[autumn temple]

What do you think about POM plate replacement over FR4?

[robust siren]

im not sure what pom sounds like

ive only had pc, fr4 and cf

[uneven cradle]

Better up those plate types, gotta try em all

[slim jay]

I didn’t have to use stem spacers I switched to jade pros almost a month ago and I haven’t had any problems with the caps getting stuck. I’m using the stock Wooting keycaps and they’ve worked fine

And stock stabs too

[robust siren]

youre gonna sponsor me?

[tropic urchin]

It’s not a hard plate, but it has some harshness to it inherently, but also sounds and feels kinda poppy

[uneven cradle]

Damn I'm still trying em all myself, gotta get that PEI, Brass, ABS

[tropic urchin]

If you use poron foam you can eliminate the harshness

[uneven cradle]

I still haven't even installed the FR4 plate I got for my 80he

Anyday now I'll get around it

[near garden]

is it possible to have the arrowkeys on the 60he v2 work like actual arrowkeys? currently, i can't rebind the FN key to any other key than the arrowkeys.

i basically wnat to be able to hold the arrowkey as well as tap it

currently i can't hold the arrowkeys to move the fking thing when you type

its very annoying

oh shit this might be the wrong chanel

[tulip rapids]

buy cf plate

[tropic urchin]

he hasnt even used FR4 and you're telling him to buy another plate

diabolical

Varedis certified

[tulip rapids]

This chat aint for the weak. We dont save money here we spend it

https://tenor.com/view/money-smell-sus-gif-23801020

[uneven cradle]

I have two FR4 plates in other boards already

[tropic urchin]

I like my version better

[gritty laurel]

what do i do to make my spacebar not sound like complete ass, i've added the foam, lubed the stabs, different switches. it's the 60he v2

[fluid ravine]

running back the cf plate on my venom

[gritty laurel]

kind of just want new stabs, my m1 v5 tmr with no mods at all, cleaned it all out sounds still a million times better than the v2 and the v2 has it all, tofu case,etc. so what stabilizers work for the v2

[fluid ravine]

wait out of curiousity can you make a sound test of the spacebar

just to get an idea of what we're working with

[gritty laurel]

Ok one second

[robust siren]

have you tried balancing the wire?

[gritty laurel]

Yes I completely disassembled the entire thing as well, lubed, etc.

[gritty laurel]

sounds worse in person imo

these are the flux deep clacky switches

[young viper]

I wonder if I have any foam anywhere, I need to try and mod my spacebar at some point, it's kinda ridiculous

[fluid ravine]

@cloud crane Bumpon feet supremacy

[fluid ravine]

what stabs and keycap?

have you tried using different switches?

[robust siren]

sounds like my 7u spacebar

[fluid ravine]

the reverb on the stock feet is bassy af

makes sense since it sits lower on the surface

dunno if i wanna use stock feet or bumpons when i get keebmat

[gritty laurel]

default stabs on the v2, and yes different switches, the UFOs, astrolinks, Tekken mediums, owlti

[tropic urchin]

get ready for wrist extensions with those bumpons

[robust siren]

i meant his video

[fluid ravine]

your thoughts on other switches? same results?

[fluid ravine]

oh LMAO

[fluid ravine]

shi ill be fine

[gritty laurel]

basically the same yeah:(

[autumn temple]

is this a good example of what the Wooting 80HE actually sounds like ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16ZUw4h4Rt0

[tropic urchin]

type

[fluid ravine]

ok most likely just the stabs

[fluid ravine]

I'd just get new gen stabs like knights v4 and get it over with

much easier to lube and tune

[robust siren]

fuck yikb

[fluid ravine]

lmao

skill issooo

[fluid ravine]

i mean i've been running bumpons and keebmat without a wrist rest for a whlie back with my og 60he

so im kewl

[tropic urchin]

wrist already growing

[fluid ravine]

yessir

but dem forearms tho ;aya

[robust siren]

dude it doesn’t rattle on my phone but sounds like ass booty water

[fluid ravine]

[sullen kiln]

https://www.amazon.ca/Zkeebs-Swagkeys-Mechanical-Keyboard-Stabilizers/dp/B0DDNVRSBG these?

[tropic urchin]

not doin them farmers carries or deadlifts ic

[sullen kiln]

i want some new stabs too so

[fluid ravine]

yes

although that seems quite expensive

unless that's normal in cad

[gritty laurel]

34 cad is 25 usd

[fluid ravine]

https://minokeys.com/products/swagkeys-knight-stabilizer-v4?_pos=1&_psq=knights&_ss=e&_v=1.0

minokeys is in toronto

i'd get from here if you're located in cad

[sullen kiln]

$10 more on amazon

ill see what the shippings like

[fluid ravine]

yea do chek

[gritty laurel]

cheapest is 45

[fluid ravine]

[sullen kiln]

Yup

total is 45, on amazon it's 35

[fluid ravine]

damn how expensive is shipping

[gritty laurel]

nvm amazon prime shipping is not covered, so it'll be $52 lol

[fluid ravine]

[fluid ravine]

DAMN

[gritty laurel]

my worry is, what if it still sounds ass and i just wasted $40

atleast with amazon, return would be easy

[young viper]

oh rip your canada, i gopt mine for like 20

[fluid ravine]

same here 😭

[gritty laurel]

w canada $100 cad basically $5 usd

[tropic urchin]

stabs are gonna sound like stabs, the only thing you'd have to do is lube or tune better if it sounds metallic

[gritty laurel]

lubed em lots already, it's only the spacebar that sounds like the way it does

[fluid ravine]

the only difference between the newer gen stabs between your avg or old ones is the newer mold allowing lubing and tuning to be more easier

i use knights in my v2 build as well and they're great

[tropic urchin]

rip long pole

[fluid ravine]

only got 1 stock stab in there that i lubed up generously and it's alright

[fluid ravine]

spacers

[tropic urchin]

waiting 20 days for spacers fuuuunnnnnnnnnnn

[fluid ravine]

lmao

i honestly cant believe i ran out of spacers

[tropic urchin]

tell those divinikey bums to restock

[fluid ravine]

what im sayin

[tropic urchin]

flip em

[gritty laurel]

maybe i just need better spacebar foam, do you guys got any premade kit recs, and where to get silicone, so i can cut them and place them into the tiny spacebar lines like my other keyboard has it

[dull cosmos]

are there any screw in stabilizer for v2 split? instead of 6.25u i need all fit for split

[little glen]

Just get the kbdfans spacebar foam

[fluid ravine]

you can just buy a normal set of screw in stabs though you may need more 2.25u wires

[gritty laurel]

which ones do i get

[little glen]

Typeplus x yikb one you can get a full size kit that would cover everything or get some knight v4 and some extra wires

[little glen]

3.5mm 6.25u

[young viper]

you'd need another acutal set of the stabs tho

[fluid ravine]

dont gotta

just buy stab wires

[gritty laurel]

does it come with multiple and what about the stab holes for the other side? sorry if i sound dumb, i always did the foam homemadely

[young viper]

my v4 only came with enough for my 60, you'd need another set of the stab housing because of it being split wouldn't you?

[little glen]

Its one set of foam for one spacebar

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine ill try redoing 7u again tomorrow

[little glen]

Look at the picture, thats what you get

[robust siren]

i need to be able to use blue spacebar but i dont wanna get soju spacebar kit

and it doesnt have blank 1u blue key

[fluid ravine]

how many stabs on split again?

oh 6

[young viper]

one more than standard

[fluid ravine]

ah

[sullen kiln]

it'll cost me $23, you think it's worth it?

[little glen]

Buy some other stuff while you‘re at it

Or use their aliexpress store, shipping may be cheaper there

[sullen kiln]

arent these ones complete ass

[little glen]

What

I dont know, i do not purchase from amazon.

[sullen kiln]

i bought one of those before and it just fell off and didn't fit lol

[little glen]

My kbdfans one hasnt fallen out

[wicked vault]

If I’m using pet film on both pcb front and back can I use tape mod over it?

[little glen]

It has a sticky side so itll glue down slightly

[robust siren]

you can only tape mod the back

[wicked vault]

ye

[robust siren]

i wish tenz80he had pet film

[wicked vault]

Do install the stabilizer before the pet film?

and before the switch foam and plate etc

[fluid ravine]

pet film first

then stabs

then plate foam

i personally cut pet film around the stab area

to make it easier

[wicked vault]

I think it’s already precut for me

When I install the stabilizers are the wires all facing same direction?

[fluid ravine]

its not that its "precut" for you im saying that for installation or whenever you want to install or take it out. It'd be easier to cut the stab areas of the pet film so that you can take out and install much easier without having to unscrew the stabs everytime you do want to install or remove.

you dont have to but im just saying

[sacred elm]

I removed my PET film in v2, don't like it

[fluid ravine]

i initially did
put it back in with my full silicone friction pad with flux, dont like it still
too lazy to take it out

[stoic ocean]

@fluid ravine yo what do you think about the zoom 64

[fluid ravine]

zoom

i dont got much to say about it tbh
it's a zoom board

or like what kind of thoughts would you like to know in my opinion?

Not a big fan of the scroll rotor thing on the top right personally

case design is pretty nice though
a lil bit different from the zoom boards i remember

[cloud crane]

I wouldn't gamble on meletrix

Iykyk

[tropic urchin]

https://klipy.com/gifs/oh-no-top-gear-1

[fluid ravine]

zoom65 v3 pretty gnarly

[tropic urchin]

why you gotta take my glacier startrail away from me

[cloud crane]

[tropic urchin]

im just fortunate they put an ugly slider wheel on it

[fluid ravine]

looking at alex stream on zoomy

[cloud crane]

Zoomy sounds like a foam board 😓

[fluid ravine]

even without foam?

[wicked vault]

The swagkey knight stabilizers have a clip. Am I supposed to force it down the hole

[fluid ravine]

you dont force it in

you hook it in the hole

when you look at the pcb with the two sized holes
the big hole is for the clip, small hole is for the screw

you hook the clip into the big hole first then screw

[thorn zealot]

Well it’s a zoom board

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s foamy without foam

[fluid ravine]

i lowk havent had much interest in zoom board other than the 65 v3 with its stupid amount of mounting options

[fluid ravine]

i'd be damn

[thorn zealot]

I swear every zoom kb I’ve heard is foamy

[fluid ravine]

foam maxing right there

[thorn zealot]

Also I heard meletrix is sketchy at best so I’ll never get a zoom board

[tropic urchin]

best kind of maxing

[trail bane]

Gn

[autumn temple]

why didnt u like it

I have been using my Tikkens since they released but they dont feel all that buttery smooth anymore does that mean they need to be lubed?

[robust siren]

once you hook it throug the hole, the stabilizers should sit flat on the pcb

[wicked vault]

The portruding rgb things don’t alllow the film to sit flat

Is that a problem

[fluid ravine]

You don't put the film on the back of the pcb

[wicked vault]

No it came with both front and back

[robust siren]

that one is meant for the back tho

[wicked vault]

I put the front in already

[robust siren]

but they just forgot about the leds

[wicked vault]

Welp back film shouldn’t be that impactful

[robust siren]

its basically useless

[fluid ravine]

It goes on top

Oh wait is this a different type of film

[wicked vault]

Do I apply tape mod directly on the pcb?

[robust siren]

yeah thats fine

[robust siren]

they cut it out for the chips and other stuff but completely forgot about the LEDs

[wicked vault]

Wait should I do tape mod after screwing in the plate so I don’t have to poke holes for screws?

[robust siren]

unless its meant to sit like that but then... why

[robust siren]

thats up to you
i personally screw in the plate first but if you poke holes in the tape mod, you wouldnt need to remove it every time

i dont mind taking it on and off

[wicked vault]

I’m going to do it without the holes lol too lazy

[tawdry ore]

is low profile he going to be compatible with 60HE+ boards ever?

[fluid ravine]

[wicked vault]

Ummm

How do I screw in the plate to the pcb again

The screws won’t reach the plate

[harsh dove]

Standoffs my friend

you need standoffs

[wicked vault]

Huh

[harsh dove]

These

[wicked vault]

Ok I have them

How do you use I’m so fried

[robust siren]

@stray tiger

WHOOPS

@fluid ravine

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

tsk tsk tsk

[haughty shoal]

Are you suppose too have friction fit and fr4 plates at the same time?

[harsh dove]

Haha, put one against a screw hole on the plate or PCB, and on the other side, screw one of the screws into it, should have about 8 standoffs in total iirc

[fluid ravine]

8 indeed

[robust siren]

wrong thock

[wicked vault]

I do not know but I hope so

[fluid ravine]

shouldve pinged thockcousin instead

[harsh dove]

once you have all of them installed, put the plate or PCB on top of the standoffs and screw the rest of the screws in @wicked vault

basically back into the configuration you have in you picture

[wicked vault]

Wow is this hard to do alone

[harsh dove]

You got it, I believe in you

[robust siren]

clip in a few swtiches at the corners so it stays flat at the table

wink wink

[wicked vault]

Humans should’ve been born with 4 arms

[robust siren]

yes, its 2 entirely different items

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/good-pokemon-machamp-thumbs-up-good-job-gif-5285961

[robust siren]

HELPPP

[thorn zealot]

doesnt have to be fr4

as long as the plate fits the case and works with friction fit, doesnt matter the material

Should my stabilizer be rattling like that

[fluid ravine]

normal stab movement

[wicked vault]

Also with the standoffs when I try to screw in the top screw the bottom one moves…

How do you see which way is north and south on these switches they look identical

[thorn zealot]

north is the window of the switch on the top

where the led passes through

[wicked vault]

The ur ice ultra ones both north and south looks identical r

[thorn zealot]

can u send a pic of the top of the switch

tbh if u dont care abt rgb then it doesnt matter north or south

just dont do east/west

[robust siren]

[wicked vault]

Fucking iPhone doesn’t focus

[thorn zealot]

ur right they look identical, even a clear pic wouldnt help much 😭

but since its pretty much a clear switch, either north or south is fine

[wicked vault]

Legit 1 to 1 identical

[robust siren]

which swtiches are these

ice ultras or extremes

[wicked vault]

Ultra

[robust siren]

it looks like extremes

but since you said ultra

[polar girder]

But its ultras

[robust siren]

the side with the slope is the rgb diffuser

[cloud crane]

Are we copping CRP R7 🤤

[young viper]

Idk bout the crp, The gmk beta js on the other hand...

[cloud crane]

Ooh beta js looks good 🔥

[wicked vault]

Well fuck

I installed it so that both side got the slope

when I lubed it

[robust siren]

huh

[placid tusk]

waht

[wicked vault]

When I took it apart

Praying this works

fuck

Forgot tape mod before I put it in

How do you remove pcb with friction fit pad
